IRELAND.  , Dustin, Ocr. 17.,--We are concerned to state the murder of Mr. DAUM GIUFFIN, of Brannicks Own, County of Meath. This horrid deed was perpetrated fay seven armed ruffians% who broke into his house, and took thereout all the wearing apparel, and cash telhe amount of £lO. There was not a fat sheep sold at Ballinasloe Fair that brought the grazier twopence-half penny a pound, yet our butchers, for good wether mutton, demand, and, what is more provoking, obtain 6.0 per lb. Tuesday night, an armed party ot twenty miscreants set fire to, and entirely consumed four farmhouses, a large quantity of wheat, oats, and hay, same bedding and furniture, the property of the Rev. JOHN HUNT, on the lands ot Glangar, convenient to Cappawhite, near the confines of the county of Limerick ; the perpetrators also threw seven pigs, belonging to Mr. Hunt's herdsman, into the flames ; it was with some difficulty that the herd Escaped sharing the same death ; the villains, on retiring, mentioned, that they would serve the person and property of every individual in 'the neighbourhood in a similar manner, that would not conform to Captain Slather's regulations., CLONbIEL, OCTOBEE l4e-11'e are happy to hear that the parish priest of Caher has used the most firm !and determined exhortation to his p irishioners, to induce them to abandon all legal associations, and partituhrly tn. give in their arms. Mr. Perry, we understand, has hactsomx guns surrendered to him in consequence of this warning. Coax, °cremes 14.—Yesterday morning, Richard Parkts, Esq. Tomas P. Boland, Esq. and the Rev. Richard Lloyd, all Magistrates residing in the neighbourhood of Mosiksiown, proct eded to a house where a man named Fenton sojourned, who was strongly suspected of being concerned in serving the notices adverted to in our last ; and obtained such satisfactory informatii it of his guilt that they had him taken into ',custody; and committed to the county jail. A melancholy circumstance occurred near St. Patrick's lisidge, abdut five n'cl •ck yesterday evening. As three labi.uring men who were at work on board a ship lying at Merchants Quay, were going on shore together on the plank, which was placed from the vessel to the Quay, it unfortunately slipped or turned, rind :Ito three were precipiimelx-intri ste river, wnen, drzadful to relate, in consequence• of their having fallen between the vessel and the,quay, the flood being so rapid, they were drowned before any efforts could be made, or any assistance AI irded to ha ve them. THE LATE Prawn —At Ballincollig, the sudd,n violence or the Rood on Tuesday night last, was so great that a guard-room was swept away, although built with lime and stone, the guard having escaped with great difficulty. From the instantaneous swell of one of the numerous little canals which intersect the grounds for the couvenience ot the works, tl.e sentinel was cut CE from the rest, and took refuge an a wail, part of which had beet. swept away. In that awfully anxious situation he was obliged to remain from ten "clock until six the next morning. Another guard experienced a sie,st providential escape, in consequence of an unusually strict order intvine been given a few days before that the Grand Rounds should visit all the posts. 'lle Officer of the night, in proceeding to the guard-room, had tow .de nearly to his armpits, and when he reached it he found the Offices aid guAld all asleep, the sentinel separated from them, and the water rising every instant around them. Had he been a few minutes later it is must probable the whole would have eerishesl.  CHATSweaTu.—The Duke of DEVONSHIRE and his suite arrived that superb chateau on Sunday se'nnight, for the express purpose or keeping open house. agreeably to the routine adopted by his ancestors, His Grsce'3 stay will piobably be protracted until the close of the month of November ; in the interim, balls, concerts, and card-parties will be given iri constant succession. Among the company are—The 'RUSSIAN AIIIBASNAIRJR and his accomplished Lady, the Duke of BEAUFORT, Earl PAULICT, Lord and Lady
