DUBLIN, OCTOBER 22. Strong detachments of troops have been marched to Limerick and the adjoining disturbed districts; but as they have scarcely yet had time to operate in a combined plan, outrages and robberies for arms still continue. Major Warburton arrived in town on Saturday to give information to the Government as to the nature of the disturbances, and the best means of restoring order. By the Arms Act, any Magistrate or High Constable can search suspected dwellings for fire-arms and seize them, if the registry be not produced. It is probable then, that a general and minute search of the houses of the peasantry will take place, and to prevent any large number of the banditti from assembling at one time, it is likely that the country will be scoured nightly by patroles of horse and foot, but this mode of proceeding, in the meantime indispensable, would rather suppress, than eradicate the evil, which now bears a frightful aspect. It is almost impossible to stay the hand of the assassin, when nearly the wliole population countenance his atrocious deeds. While Mr. Going's corpse was carried to the grave, the peasantry, everywhere as it passed, expressed satisfaction; and when Mr. Spading was killed they seemed to be aware of the event for miles round, and gave a shout when they heard the report of the muskets. In this state of moral depravity we find the people of the disturbed parts of the County of Limerick, and what check to murder and outrage can be proposed, immediately, but coercion of the most prompt and vigorous kind? 'fuesday night last, a party of armed men attacked the dwelling-house of Mayn, a farm belonging to Major Sullivan, and succeeded in stripping a quantity of lead from off the roof, evidently for the purpose of making balls. The house of Mrs. Fitzgerald, at Ballenleina, and several others in the same neighbourhood, were robbed, on Wednesday night, of fire-arms. At Mrs. Fitzgei ald's, the villains obtained two cases of pistols, two blunderbusses, and two muskets. A man of the name of Anglim, who was a witness at the last Assizes in the case relating to Newcastle, got a situation last week in a merchant's store in Limerick, through the intervention of a friend, who did not wish him to return to the country, and by the particular desire of the man himself. He remained in the employment two days, and having gone at meal hours the third, has not since been heard of : he did not receive or call for his wages. A few nights since, the house of George Green, Esq. near Dungarvon, was, in his absence, attacked and robbed, notwithstanding a valiant defence made by Green's brother, in which that Gentleman was badly wounded. A notice,_ signed ,4 Captain Rock," was posted on the door of John Ambrose, near Newcastle, tenant to Mr. Morony, threatening him with destruction if he did not surrender the farm which he had the presumption to lease, after a tenant who was ejected bad abandoned it.  The Charleville Yeomanry are now on permanent duty, in consequence of the outrages which occur nightly in that neighbourhood. The Adare Yeomanry Corps, which was most distingui,hed during the Rebellion, is also to be placed on duty. Their Captain, Richard Smyth, Esq. has liberally offered £5O for the apprehension of the murderers of Walsh,who wasassassinated on Monday night. A Yeomanry Corps is about to be established at Hospital, in the county of Limerick. Major-General Sir John Lambert, K.C.B. has been directed to fix his head-quarters at Newcastle, in the county of Limerick, and to draw thither as many troops as he shall think necessary to put a total stop to the outrages. His arrival is hourly expected. The 43d are reported to be on their march to Limerick, and it is also stated, that the 11th and 49th Regiments are ordered for the Limerick district. The 42d Highlanders, which moved from Kilkenny to Waterford, are on their march to Limerick, and were to arrive there on Sunday (yesterday).  . • Thursday, twenty-four of the 40th Regiment, under Lieutenant Hibbert, and twenty of the same corps under Lieutenant Quaid, the former from Birr, the latter from Roscrea, arrived in Limerick, on a route to Newcastle.  Saturday, three troops of the gd Light Dragoons arrived in Limerick garrison firm Cahir, to await the commands of Sir John Lambert. Sunday, a troop of the same regiment arrived at Newcastle, from Ciczneen. Saturday, Commissary Gelston left Limerick, to make arrangements for the cavalry ordered to be stationed at Newcastle, and the disturbed districts of the county of Limerick.
