IRELAND.  EXTRAORDINARY -OuTaAnc.--=About the hour of twelve o'clock, on.the night of last Tuesday, a large party of the peasantry, well armed, and consisting of _more .than two hundred persons, went to the farm.of Inch,. which is situate between Ballingarryr and Charleville, and, in a short time, destroyed a valuable orchard: They felled one hundred and fourteen apple 'trees, sixteen ash trees, and one din. tree. But devastation alone was not the object of the banditti, as they had brought with them about one hundred horses and cars, for-the purpose of removing the spoil. They partly effected their design, as .they removed some of the timber from the. Premises, shouting in triumph, and firing guns,. RS if in defiance of ,the civil or military powers; The letter which has communicated this intelli gence.adds, that there is a report in the neigh.; bourhood that the peasantry, are de,termined not• to leave a tree standing in that part-of the- country.---The farm of Inch is part of the estate .of. John Mason, Esq., ,and as information „was quickly given by his sons to Major Wilcocks., of the perpetration of the outrage, some hope S-were entertained that he would be-.able to discover some of the offenders.—(Thibliii Correspondent, Dee. 8.)  We are gratified'tci. perbeive that the ,distur. bances are diminishing in number, and are not marked with a peculiar degree , of. atrocity for some time back. There is-.no doubt that a person Who.. acted a sort of leader among those marauders, has been ,arrested by Robert TwisS, an active Magistrate of the county of Kerry, and conveyed to Dublin, where he is expected to give much, valuable information. He is a person above the ordinary rank, and has disclosed the trunes of nearly 300 individuals who were engaged in these . nocturnal disturbances:—:-:(Cork illercd G/u .Dec. 7.) We understand there are now upwards of twenty-six Regiments of.- Infantry in Ireland, Which, with the increase they will receive from the Out-pensioners (two hundred of. these.being about to be attached to each :regime-lit), •will make the regular force now :on duty in. this country amount to twenty thousand men ; a body of strength fully,.sufficient to remove all apprehension from the most timid, and to deprive the deluded. peasantry Of all hopes of being enabled to effect their objects by intimidation or violence. --(ibid.)  [From the Limerick. Chronicle of Thursday.]  On Sunday, about four o'clock in the evening, the house of Patrick Clift was entered by a banditti, and a sword taken. The house of Arthur Neil was•also'entered the same evening, and a pistol taken from him. Both those persons lived at kilbreedy, and within a mile of Adare. There. hag b'een' another meeting of Magistrates at Buttevant, Lord Doneraile in the chair, at Which it was resolved to memorial Government to -apply for the revival of the Insurree, tion Act immediately on the meeting of Parliament. .  On Monday laSt, Mr. John Leake, High Conupprehended Denis Keliher, on the road to Blennerville, in the county of Kerry, of which he is a resident, .charged" as one of the accomplices in the murder of Major Collis.

GONSALVI. The Austrian Ambassador gave an entertainment, to which were invited moat of the respectable English, all of whom, almost to a man, refused the invitation: A few days after GoNseevi, to make • up the breach, gave a grand dinner, at which were present the said Austrian Ambassador, and several English ; during the , repast, an Englishman of distinction filled a bumper, arose, and gave in a loud voice, success to the Neopolitans2 and the cause of Liberty all over the world ; in which be was.joined by most of the English present; the Ambassador was thunderstruck, the wily Cardinal confounded, some of the guests alarmed, but the greater number scarcely able to suppress their inward satisfaction. The remainder of the repast was hurried over i's silence and consternation by the Ambassedar, Cardinal, aal other adherents, and the English guests aad host separated rather in dudgeon.—(COßK M. CifitoxiceE.) We hear that it is proposed soon to remove the Monument. This is a measure of pure justice previous to passing the Cathy. lie Bill, as on its base stands recorded the fact, thlt the Pryists burned the City of London, in the year 1666, an insinuatim which the liberality of these days cannot suffer to remain axtans.—The inscription round the Monument This Pillar " was set up in perpetual remembrance of the most drteulfal " burning of this PROTESTANT CITY' begun and carried on " by the treachery and malice of the Poersix FACTION, in " the beginning of September, in the year of our Lord 1666, " in order to the carrying on their horrid ploefor extirpat;ng " the Protestant Religion, and OLD EirGeisat " and introducing Popery and Slavery." The new Theatre in the Haymarket is rising ranidiy, and is nearly in a state to receive its roof. As this building was professedly intended to form a terminus to Cherles-street, we do not exactly understand why it has been ingeniously placed so as not to form a terminus to that street it is about four feet out of its proper place, and stands just sufficiently near it, -to make every person who sees it lament its present situation. Considering the ground on every side was to be had, we are at a loss to find an excuse for the creation of a public eye-bore so glaring as this. The improvements between Piccadilly and Oxford-street, are nevi becoming very visible, and the new street appears in all its splendour for a considerable extent. The quadrant at the end of the firstdivision of Rege.nt-street, is one of the moat beautiful things produced in any country ; we are decidedly a opi. nion, however, that if the angle had not been acute,. at the corner of Regent-street, and the colonade had swept round frees Piccadilly,' the effect vould have been grander; as it is, we lose all idea of a continuance of one street, and turn suddealy and sharply into anodic:tee, We are happy to inform our Readers that the Royal merei has been graciously and justly extended to George England. a. sailor in the preventive service, who was maltreated, cbsarineA, and assaulted in the execution of his duty at flastiotse againet -whom the Jury at llomhooa fowl] a verdict a wilful' murder.

MRERLAND.—=When the late Duke (then Earl PERCY), was at Cork, previous to embarking with the army for America, he saw a fine boy in the ranks as a cadet, on which he asked his name and connexions. The Roy—" I am, my Lord, the son of an old officer, who, " after many years service abroad and at home, is now a cap' tain in the Royal HouSehold, at Dublin : I am his third son, " and my two elder brothers are now in the army." The Earl was so much struck with the spirit and frankness of the youth, and felt so much for his situation. in the ranks, that he wrote to his agent to purchase for him an Ensigncy in the fifth regiment. • The Commission was obtained, and at the battle of Bunkir's Hill, his Lordship's Ensign showed great courage and good conduct, which reflected equal credit on the regiment and on his Lordship who introduced him to it. • TUE LATE ADMIRAL KoDDAM.—When Captain, afterwards Admiral nonnAsi, was tried by a Court Martial for the capture of his ship, he gave directions to the Printer at Kingston to publish the Minutes, and give copies to each Member of the Court Martial, to his brother Officers, and some other friends, and then to sell the remainder. It was some time afterwards that he- again saw his publisher ; when, in order to settle accounts, the book was referred to, and the man stated that, according to order, so many copies had been disposed of. " ll'hy that is the .number I ordered you to give away in my " name ; how many have you sold ?"—`= Not one," was the reply, " though I advertised in all the Papers."-- That is " strange," said Captain RonnAsl, " for Admiral BYNG'S " trial went through three editions in a week:"—" That is a different case" said the Printer ; 44 if you had been con" demned to be shot, your trial would have sold as well ; but the publiz take no interest in an honourable accuittal." ArACCINATION.—The festival in honour of f)r. J ExxExt, to whorn mankind are indebted for the discovery of Vaccination, was lately celebrated at Berlin, by a superb banquet. All the Faculty in the city were present, together with several Functionaries and Statesmen. The Counsellor of State, M. HUFELAND, presented, at the close of the banquet, lists of the children who had been vaccinated in Prussia during the year 1819 ; and the result was, that upwards of 400,090 children had been Inoculated within that period.  DRUNKENNESS Expels reason,' drowns the memory, distempers the body, defaces beauty, diminishes strength, inflames the blood, causes internal, external, and incurable wounds, is a witch to the senses, a devil to the soul, a thief to the purse, the beggar's companion, a, wife's woe, and children's sorrow ; the picture of a beast and self. murderer, who drinks to others good health, and • robs himself of • his own.

LAYARD'S EXPLANATION (by means of a letter from Colonel St. John Neale, containing the f'jllowing passage) as to the Burning, of Kagosima :—" I deem it desirable to add that the population of Kagosima at no period exceeded 40,000 inh6birants, far from 180,000, as has been strangely imagined, to serve as a more striking: text for comments ; and further, that those 40,000 souls— men, women, and children—withdrew, while their huts and paper houses increased the risks attendant upon stray shot and shell froth a British squadron, audaciously fired, upon by numerous batteries because it had signalled its inten--....„,,.."*" tioa to obtain redress for a barbarous murder and outrage committed upon British subjects for which all redress hed been evaded. Subsequent events, the voluntary payment of the indemnity demanded, the formal obligation entered into to execute the murderers of Mr. Richardson when arrested, the professions of friendship cheerfully expressed by Satsuma's envoys on behalf of their chief, their desire to cultivate friendly and social intercourse with the British nation, aud their good humour and graceful offerings (of fruit) to the crew of the flagship of the British admiral after the facts of Kagosima, would all imply that the agents of her Majesty displayed a degree of caution and moderation duly appreciated by those most deeply interested." And for the . English, according to the Queen :—" From this," says our contemporary, "it is clear : First, that although it might be wrong to knock a city with 180,000 inhabitants to pieces, no one ought to object to a city possassing only 40,000 being treated so. Secondly, that as the houses in Japan are all made of paper, it serves them right if they are burnt. Thirdly, that the polite conduct of. the Japanese subsequently to the bombardment of Kagosima should be taken as proof that they were rather pleased at having been born. Warded than otherwise."  SUSPEIISION• OF CONTRACT PACKET SERVICE BETWEEN GALWAY Alip AMERICA —The mail service between Galway and America has, until further notice, been suspended.—By command of the Postmaster•Generai, J. TILLEY, secretarY.

EVERY BOY'S MAGAZINE. Routledge. —Between these three serials, devoted expressly to their entertainment, the boys of our day have no reason to complain. They are all of fair average merit, and well calculated to amuse their readers at the same time that they extend their knowledge n various directions.  her Majesty's Government will not be desirous to, withdraw from the Colonial Ministers any part of that authority in the conduct of native affairs which has been already vested in their hands. Of the policy of realising Ti•ori-ori, or some, and, if so, how many, of the other prisoners—of the credence to be attached to the statements of native messengers respecting Rewi, and of the effect which the detention of the prisoners as hostages may have had in preventing hostile operations, or murderous out. rages, on the part of any of their friends—it is not possible to judge without that knowledge of the cir. cumstances which only presence on the spot can give—and. even if I possessed that knowledge, I should feel that it was extremely hazardous to give you positive instructions from home, to be carried into effect after an interval of five months from the time at which yon had reported the circumstances to me, and when, therefore, the most material changes in those circumstances must have inevitably occurred. What Ido feel it to be my duty to say to you plainly is that the aid of the mother country in men and in money is given to the colony, on the understanding that the military measures which have unhappily become necessary shall be directed by you, in concert with the distinguished General i❑ command. I shall be perfectly ready to suppert you in any measures which, not breaking positive law of the colony, and after consulting with the General, you may have thought it necessary to take on this subject. I earnestly trust, however, that that sense of consideration due to your position to which your memorandum of the 29th of April you appeal, will have been manifested by your advisers, and that, more especially when they shall have received the full and deliberate statement of the views of her Majesty's Government conveyed to you in my despatch of the April 26 last, they will cordially co-operate with you in the treasures which you may feel called upon to adopt in pursuance of your instructions. lam confirmed in this hope by the assurances which Mr R. Wood, on the part of his colleagues and himself, has given me, as you will have seen in his letter to Sir F. Rogers, and by the tone which Mr R. Wood has uniformly maintained in his frequent communications with me during his stay in England. I cannot for one moment believe that your Ministers will be actuated by any other feeling than a patriotic desire to aid you to the utmost in their power ; and I trust that, even when their opinions may differ from your own, a paramount sense of public duty will induce them to forget these differences, and cordially to support your efforts and those of Gen. Cameron to promote the cause which, equally with yourself, they have at heart."  --
