IRBLAND.  An outrage of the most wanton ,and wiclted de. scription was perpetrated at Ballyclogha, near Glen, .county of Waterford, on Sunday night last. About 10 o'clock a nomber Of men attacked the house of Tatrick Foran, situated on a farm which he/ had lately taben at that place, and, after turning oaf the'family which be bad left in charge of the house, set it and 26 stacks of rape on. fire. We have not-heard the amount of the damage, or that any of the incendiaries have yet been apprehended. lt is proper that the misguided and ignorant, who are seduced into unlawful associations against the,industrious farmer, should know, that arson, or wilful fire raising, is a capital felony, and that every individual aidirig or assisting in the commission Of the crime is deemed, in law, a principal, and will, on conviction, be punished accordingly.—(Waterford Mirror) On. Monday evening, John Walsh, a boy about .13 years of, age, who was angling. off the fish-house, fell front his seat, and was drowned. The body'had not been found on Tuesday night. We are happy to learn that the murder of the unfortunate female, whose decapitated body was lately, found hidden it't'a bog near Tory Bill, -is likely soon to .he discovered. A variety of circumstances tend to fix suspicion on a young man Who has absconded. The particulars have been communicated to us—but, for ob clogs reasons we cannot make them public. The high character and unwearied assidnit.y of the gentlemen wbo Wive engaged in the investigation of this mysterious affair, afford a fair promise that the sanguinary wretch, who imbrued his hands in .the blood of this helpless female, shall not long escape offende_d justice. The murder was perpetrated by a Slane;' and, as the girl was knownto haVe a pound note and some change in her possession the evening before she met her n4timely fate, it is supposed that the barbarian was prompted by avarice to destroy the hapless and unsuspicious.possessoe;. The murder was -committed on the 24th jnnel, tWerity-seven days before -the body was eli3p,over, ed, apcf five weeks before the suspected person abscontled.—(ibid.) The regulating Captain at this port, has made known to thG fishermen on ,the river and adjoining coast, that-he is authorised by the Lords Com'mitsioners of the Admiralty, to grant protections in favour of thosefishermen who tirnish the navy e;"- ills their quota of 'men, at the rate of one seaman or two landmen for every,:ten fishermen, that being the proportion determined on by their Lora-1 ships.--‘-(lbid)  _ MPORTANT Minister of Roth say brought an actiOn of trespass in the Edinburgh Court of ElXtiieqiier, against a person etnployed by the Collector of Assessed and Prcperty; Taxes, for levying- the same contrary to the laws of the ancient realm of ScOtland. The Reverend Gen-dein4n_ pleaded exemption, as a Clergyman of the 'Established Church of" Scotland, in virtue Of certain Acts of the Sciitish Parliament, which he contended, exempted the SCOtrisit Clergy froM payment of all taxe3,4ast, present, and to conre.' On the part of the Crown, it was: answered, that no such exemption was ever given by the Acts in question; and should they have even happencul to contain any such favourable clause,. the win le. had been: unconditionally surrendered at .the Union. The Court Was occupied two entire days upon thiS serious question,,when an opinion was unanithously giVen, that the C;lergy had no right whatever to the'exemption claimed. A very extensive gang of forgers have been discovered >at lrvine,.in Scotland. When they were apprehended, they had in their possesssion a great 'number of forged notes of various hanks-in Scotland, viz. the.Greenock, Rentrewshire, and Castle Douglas. This gang was about tb take shippiog for Ireland, when they were seized ; one of then, named Mackay, a ,noted dealer in such kind of goods, effected hiS escape, and it is supposed he has arrived in this country.
