FENALE,  IN IRELAND.  W ATF.RPORD, J tv. 6. —For some time past, no ineonsiderable portion of our columns has been rainfully and reluctantly devoted to details of crimes of the most atracious description. 1, These details referred not to one spot, nor even to one country ; • and•there was a kind of negative consolation in contemplating them at a distance from the scenes of their perpetration. Now, however, they have come home to our own doors, and we are onrselves obliged to swell those records of guilt which we here- j tofore drew only from others. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, as a young boy was passing along the edge of the river,aboat j a quarter of a mile intj from this city, oining the road to Car- I rick-on-Suir, lie discovered a dead body lying in the mud. Somewhat alarmed, and without waiting to make any examination, he ran and communicated die circumstance to the inhabitants of a house at no great distance from the place. They immediately returned with him, arid found a female corpse, niangled in such' a manner as It would be horrible even to describe. On farther inquiry., the strongest proofs appeared, that the ill-fated being . bad been murdered at the termination of the wall leading to the , city, that the inhuman author of her death had thrown the body over the wall, dint he then dragged it as far into the river as seemed to be consisteut t ith his own safety, and that he there left it, in the hope of its being carried away by the strewn.— Fresh blood, inconsiderable quantities, was visible °lithe wall, on the adjoining gate, and in some places beta ixt them and the river, whilst the marks of footsteps, and the impression of the body, were easily discernible through the whole space from the road to the spot where it was aband.ried. A stone of several pounds weight, and nearly covered with blood, was found beside the body, with which it was evident some of the wouuds on the !wed lind been Witted. Thew were alas other swami* on the head, that bore the appearance of having been given by a sharp instrument.. Multitudes yesterday visited the body, but it has not yet been recognised by any person. The dress indicated the wearer to have been in an humble station of life, but it does not resemble that of the peasantry in this part of Ire. land, and there is reason to believe, that its proprietor was a str.sngeit  Thursday night a quart bottle was 'thrown out at the first gallery at the Theatre, Hull, into the pit, which struck a young woman of the name of Thompson on the head, and hurt her severely. Some sailors came forward, and pointed out four soldiers as the party by some of whom the bottle had been thrown ; they ware immediately taken into custody; one of them, who confessed to throwing the bottle, was sent to the Muse of Correction, and the others to the Guard-house.  While the family of a cheesemonger who resides 1 the corner of Serle-street, in Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, were attending Divine Service on Sunday ' evening, two fellows got into the house; and, after breaking open various drawers, had packed up a large quantity of goods; when, providentially, the i sister of the shopkeeper knocked at the door, which 1 the villains opened and rushed out, leaving their booty behind, except 51. worth of copper, and three or four silver spoons. IThe premises of Mr. Winter, Cook's-ground, Chelsea, which are occupied by a widow lady, were broke open and .robbed en Saturday night.— The thieves did not get into the house - but they rob. bed the larder and other places immediately contiguous, together with the fowl roost.  •
