Thelba.owieg further,particulars of that. harleerotn; murder have been sent us :—About two o'clock at noon, on 'Friday, Corneal went to the hesuse of John Fitzgerald, of • Ballyvogue, to collsact money, promised, to be paid to the Rev.' Fratacis Laugford,..,by wheat he was deputed ; Coriseal was accompanied by his son, a lad of thirteCN years of a-ge: On entering the house, he found thvat the corn was winnowihg, and preparing for mat vet, and upon the solicitation of the persons in ,i4f! house, Corneal desired his son to return to M. Langford, and ask •him, would he give further time for the payment ; the boy returned about live o'clock in company..with a labourer of Mr. Langford's, of the name of Naughtin, and on enteriug Fitgerald's honSe, no trace whatever of Corneal cou!d be found.- The next day, several marks of blood were observed both inside and outside the door, and particularly among some slraW, which lay in an inner room. This was attempted to be accounted for by some women, who; said, that a goose had been killed during the day; but a very young child of Fitzgerald's said to the persons who were inquiring for Corneal, ihat her father- had killed him with a hatchet. Neither Fitzgerald, or a second person who was there on. his. entry, can since be heard of. Mr. %Valler, Colonel Westropp, Mr. Fitzgerald, Rev.. Mr. Langford, Rev.

Fitzgerald, who has absconded, is about -forty years of age, dark countenance, :but at present pee, 'frcm 'recent sickness; black 'hair, black beard, and 5 feet 5 inches high. Corneal had an excellent character, and has left a widow end seven helpless Orphans. • Extract of a I tter, dated Police-Office, Rathkettle, Few. 27 Neither military or pPlice were I resent at the time the outrage occurred on Bernard M'Closky, near Rathkeale. On the first intimation of the business, the Police repaired to the spot Where lie was assaulted, and found all quiet. They used every exertion in their power to find out the delinquents, and resorted to every thing fOr M'Closky's accommodation, whom they lodged in the house of a Policeman, as none other wcu!d admit hint." We understand that several respectable persons, who reside in thatched houses, have sent friends in this city, their fire arms; that they should not fall into the hands of the lawless banditti, that have, within this week, so succesifully obtained a vast quantity of such weapons. •On Thursday last, a gentleman in the.nei-ghbourhood-of Shanagolden, dreading that his'house might be broken into in search of fire-arras, Kent up by boat three fowling-pieces, a .masket, and case of pistols with directions to deliver them to his friends in Limerick ; hoWever, on this'<at'1431 of the boat at Arthar's-qnay, on- Thursday niht, the entire were carried off. Every 'search has been made to recover them without effect.— Alderman Watson 'has committed to jail a-man, charged on oathe with the offence.  . .
