LIMERICK.  Lord COURTIMAY'S property is the chief seat oft" disorders which for some time have agitated it county of Limerick. This extensive estate comptiss forty-two thousand plantation acres, and the asst seems to be at complete variance with the maws tenantry. The property fell out of lease between de years 1810 and 1813, when it was released at the enormous rate of the war prices. Abatements were granted at the peace, which have been dixestested for the last three years; and the original high rem have been rigorously exacted, when possible, by as cutions, writs, and all ruinous means of legal co cedure. Here then, is the immediate cause of that outrages and murders in that quarter, which hvers cently shocked humanity. Lord COURTENAY resides on the Continent, al his property is managed by trustees, several of who have proceeded to the district for the special pugs of investigating the circumstances, and we trustily will see good cause for changing a system so rule to both his Lordship and the tenantry. In the an time, the tenants have addressed a statement ofbs to the Public, which shews that they have just gromi of complaint, although it cannot in any degree pi Hate their violation of the laws of the country. A Meeting was held of the Magistrates at Rub Beale on Monday, when it was agreed to station tats tary detachments at Shanagolden, Stonehall, Ballis garry, Abbeyfeale, and Drumcolloher. For thesis pose an order was sent to Templemore for SOO d the 40th Regiment.

ORANGE PROCESSION AT EANDON. Our Readers are already aware of the horrible results which followed the public parading of a precession of Orangemen, at Bandon, on the 2d of July last (the first of July being Sunday. the prozession was postponed until the second). One man was killed, and a-woman, -fir advanced in pregnancy, sl.t4 through the heart! At the preent Assizes of Cork, two of the Orangemen weie indicted fir the murders; but owing to the circumstance of the riot and tumult being general, the capital charge could not be supported, and they were found guilty of Menslaughter only. Monday these men were brought up to receive sentence, when Baron SMITH, who presided, delivered the following judgment ;—" You have been tried for an offence, a more lerious one than which can scarcely be conceived ; if the verdict which has been returned implied a certainty of your innocence, this would be -a certainty in which I should find it difficult to concur. Bin in convicting you of manslaughter, the Jury, adopting the opinion of the Court upon the law, merely expressed a doubt upon the proofs whether the case amounted to an unquestionable murder ? The sentence of the Court is, that you and each of you be burned in the hand, imprisoned for one year, find security for your future good behaviour for seven years.a-your,_elves each in £lOO, and two sureties. in 4.:.5.0 each ; and that then, and not till then, you be discharged."

ARMY.  The Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Regiment of Militia Is to assemble at Truro for 21 days training and exercise, and on the same day the Royal Cornwall Mill. ia is to assemble at Bodmin. The 43d Light Infantry, at present quartered in Dublin garrison, daily expect orders to march fur the South of Ireland. ' Two troops of the 3d Light Dragoons, under the command of Lord Cuaaces Maxims, arrived at Caher en Tuesday last, and one troop of the same Regiment at Fethard ; and next day another troop marched into Clogheen, to be quartered in these situations until further orders. In consequence of the reductions in the Army, four troops of Cavalry are all that may be expected to be stationed in the county of under the present eirentristaineet.  141µ ,611•141.141116.016-1•• The alst liniment is to embark at tremor! some time in the month of (Mabel\ for the West Indies.  Verified accounts have been received at Portsmouth of the melancholy fate of the Officer and British crew in charge of the slave brig Volcano do Sol, which was captured two years since by one of the cruizers under Sir GEORGE COwita's orders. The MORGIANA, on arriving with a slave vessel at Bahia, on the coast of Brazil, received a confirmation of the former report of the murder of the master's mate, and the whole of the British seamen, which was perpetrated in cold blood, off the port of St. Salvador ; and so soon as the slaves were landed the vessel was sunk. It appears that one of the crew was a native African, who having been employed as a supernumerary on board the King's ships, when on the African station, was put on board the prize, and being a man of athletic form, he appeared much too tempt.l ing an object to share the fate of his European messmates, on account of the high price which he bore as a slave. He was, therefore, not murdered with the rest of the crew, but sold as one of the slave cargo, and sent into the interior, whence, in the course of traffic, he became transferred to other masters, and at length he met with one of the Of of the MOEGIANA, who he recognised as having belonged to the TARTAR, and to him he related the circumstances of this horrid transaction. Captain FINLAISON was, in consequence, taking every means to urge the Portu. guese Authorities to investigate the melancholy occurrence; and we trust the result will appear, as it often has done, that, by the interposition of PawnDENCE, the avarice of man will prove the means of leading to his condign punishment fur his greater crimes. And it is hoped that those friends of humanity who have lately done so much to destroy this disgusting inhuman traffic, will persevere, and insist that the parties concerned, directly or indirectly, shall be tried by the laws of Portugal ; and whoever the owner of the Volcano do Sol may be, though he should prove the Governor of a Province, he may be called on to account for the slaves, as well as the Portuguese seamen, of the late slave brig.

ASSIZE INTELLI(ENCE. WATERFORD SUMMER ASSIZES, yawn SO.. FATAL DVfL. In this case Daniel Connor. Esq. of Manch House, in the county of Coik, and Bernard Bearnieh, Esq. of Palace Anne, in the same county, stood indicted for the wilful murder of Captain Joseph Daunt; the former having been a principal, and the latter having acted as second. in a duel, fought on the Slst of May, 1828, near Youghal, within the bounds of the county. of WaterfordAnd which terminated fatally to the deceased. This important trial, which had excited so much interest, was opened by Mr. DOHERTY, who briefly observed, that the prosecution had been instituted by the family of the deceased, in order that the melancholy ilevent might receive a full and solemn investigation ; that Mr. Connor and Captain Daunt were friends and relatives; that a misunderstanding having 1 taken place between t eat, (in consequence of a case in which a person of the name of Haly, was plaintiff, and the unit's-innate Gentleman whose death 'has produced this trial, was the defendant, came on for hearing in the month of January, 1826, before the Ballyreen Bench of Magistrates, of which Daniel Connor was one of the Magistrates), it became aecessary fur Mr. Connor to..demarid satisfaction ; that a meeting took place, and, that the prosecution was induced chiefly on the ground that three shots had been interchanged between the parties, and that the most anxious efforts were made by many of the bystanders after the second shot was fired, to accommodate the affair; that Mr. Arkinii, the friend of the deceased, pub.l tidy said, he was quite willing every thins should be done that could be done by a man of honour, but that a refusal of accommodation was most unfottunately made, and persisted in on the part of the prisoners.— Several witn sses were examined on both sides. Mr. Connor, after the evidence for the prosecution was closed, delivered an address from a written paper, in a manner so feeling and becoming as to make a deep impression on all who heard it. The Learned Jonas charged the Jury in a clear and perspicuous manner, commenting on particular parts of the evidence adduced, in the course of which he spoke of the language used by the unfortunate Captain Daunt as most unwarrantable and uncalled tor, and after explaining the law of the case to the Jury, in about ten minutes, they returned a verdict of Not Guilty against both the prisoners, who were instantly discharged, to the entire satisfaction of & most crowded Court.  A vast number of Gentlemen, of the highest rank and respectability, from the County of Cork, ansious to witness the progress and result of this trial, were present during the whole of its proceedings: amongst whom we noticed Richard B. Adderly, Esq. brother•in-law and Secretary to the Right Hon. Frederick Robinson, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had come solely from England to testify as to the character of Mr. Beamisb, formerly an Officer in the 84th Regiment.— Waterford Mail.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.  FROM ?HR EDINBURGH OBSERVER. Yesterday came on before the Court the trials of Willjaw, Thomson, Jews 1 homson, and John Frans, labourers, accused of attacking and assaulting, on the 30th of November last, at or near the foot of Langside Brae, in the parish of Dalkeith, George Dickson, farMU, Cousland, who was returning home from Dalkeith market, and who was struck several severe blows on the face, head, and breast, with large wooden bludgeons, or other offensive weapons, by which he was severely wounded, to the great effusion of his blood ; and afterwards robbed of a silver hunting watch, a copy of the SCOURIGN, and a letter addressed to Mrs. Dickson, besides several memorandums. _ _  The prosecutot described the nature of the attack.— He said that there were four men in the party, and one cried twice," Murder the —! murder him!'' Witness looked at the prisoners: He said he knew them all by sight; they were all of the party who robbed him.—' Three of the four men had on dark coloured clothes, and one had on a red vest with stone coloured sleeves ; it was Pram who was thus dressed ; it was William Thomson who came forward and gave him the first blow; it was Fram who cried " Murder him!" (A man, or rather a boy, William Leslie, was brought into Court, and identified as the fourth of the party.) Witness is a yeoman—the oldest its Scotland—but wore no spars that day, otherwise he would have saved the Court the trouble of a trial. After the robbery, the teh le p.rty went into the plantation on the north side of the road, and witness returned to D ilkeith, where he arrived about hall-past five o'clock. Witness sent for Dr Scott, who dressed his wounds, and afterwards went home in a chaise. He did not know the pannels by name, but described them to Turnbull, the officer, next day, and subsequently identified them in the Sheriff's Office as the persons who had robbed him.  An accomplice, and other witnesses, were examined for the Crown ; and exculpatory evidence was received for the prisoners. The Loan JUSTIN, CLIIRK, in an address which occupied an hour and a half, laid before the Jury the whole case, as brought out in evidence.  After which, the Jury, without leaving the box, unanimously found all the prisoners guilty, but recommended James Thomson and John Frain t• the mercy of the Crown.  The Loots Armes Ctaa then addressed the prisoners, and conelided by reading the vnrence of the Court, ordaining the pannels to be executed at Dalkeith, or such place in the neighbourhood as the Sheriff should hi upon, on Thursday the Ist day of March, between the hours of two and four •clock in the afternoon.  William Thomson then said " Thank you." He is a man of forbidding appearance. His brother James is of a more mild aspect, sod seemed to feel his awful situation. Frain conducted himself wish propriety. The whole of the unhappy men were well dressed. W. Thomson is a married man—the ethers are not.

CONCLUSION OF THE ITALIAN WAR. Negotiations proceeded amid gaiety and pleasure. The various 11Mina,' and Revoys of Austria, of the Pope, of the Kinp of Naples and Sardinia, of the Duke of Puma, of the Swiss Cantons, of several of the Ponces •f Germany—the throng of' Generals, of per eons of authority, of Deputies of towns—with the daily arrival and dispatch of numerous couriers, the bustle of important business, min • gled with fetes and entertainments, with halls and with' hunting parties, gave the picture of a splendid Court, and the assemblage was cal. led accordingly, by the Italians, the eosin of Montebello. It was Ilsuch in point of importance; foe the deliberations agitated there were to regulate the political relations of Germany, and decide the fate of the-King of Sardinia, of Swiss Thad, of Venice, of Genoa; an destined to hear from the voice of Napoleon the terms on which their national existence was to be prolonged or terminated. Montebello was not less the abode of pleasure. The Sovereigns of this diplomatic and niffitary Court male excursions to the Lego Maggiore, to the Lign dl Comd, to the icirromean Islands, and occupied at pleasure the villas which surround those delicious re. glom. Every town, every village, desired to distinguish heel( by some peculiar mark of homage and respect to him whom they then named the Liberator of Italy. These expressions are in a great measure those of Napoleon himself, Who seems to have looked back on this period of his life with warmer recollections of pleasterAbl: enjoyment than he had experienced on any other occasion. It was probably the happiest time of his life. Honour, beyond that of a Crowned • Head, was his own, and had the full relish of novelty to a mind which two or three years before was &lug in obscurity. Power was his, and be had not experienced its cares and risks; high hopes were formed of him by all around, land he had nut yet disappointed them. He was in the lower of youth, and married to the woman of his heart. Above an, he had the glow of Elope, which was marshalling him even to more exalted dominion; and be had not yet become aware that possession brings satiety and that all earthly desires and seristiestermitrate, when fully attained, In vanity and vexation of spirit. • • • • The expedition to Egypt Is the next grand event. -The conduct of Banal, irte in this country is descrlb:d as being in many respects useful and praiseworthy; in others absurd—he is acquitted of the charge of poisoning the sick at Jaffa, though his foul murder of the prisoners there is admitted by himself, and his defence of it completely refuted. The deep stain rests on the name of Soma AAAAA . His return to Europe; his dissolving the Council of Five Hundred (19 and 19 Brumaire, Ikbruardeucloa:o); and the formation of the copulate with Sieyes and are familiar events—the battle of Marengo not less so.

CROKER."  EXEC( PIONS.  Friday last George Champion, aged 22, and Jamb James, 21, were executed on the new drop at Exeter County Jail, pursuant to their sentences at the late Assizes, for a burglary and an extensive robbery in the house of Mr. Tucker, of Tiverton, jeweller. The men, since their condemnation, have been daily attended by  the Chaplain, the Rev. EDWARD CRAVE" assisted by the ' Rev. W. CARWITHEN, whose unceasing endeavours have been amply rewarded by the penitence of the prisoners. Champioa was a native of Minehead, Somerset ; was visited by his sister on Monday, who remained the greater part of the day with him, and onTuesday she visited him again,and took a last farewell. Jamesis said to be a native of Bristol, and was visited by his aged father after his condemnation, who was much agitated by the interview. Thursday morning the sacrament was administered to the prisoners, in which Pickup joined, at halfpast twelve r, et. Friday, Champion and James were brought from the condemned cells and placed on the scaffold. On seeing the executioner, Champion exclaimed, " This is a melancholy death for two such young men as we!' To which his fellow-sufferer replied, " Oh! yes, it is, George." When the ropes were adjusted around their necks, they bowed to the mob. Champion remarked to a Sheriff's officer near him, that he hoped his poor father was not in the crowd beneath to witness his disgraceful death, and then exclaimed, "there is a poor man fainted away !" evidently supposing the person to be his father. Champion confessed to the Chaplain to his having assisted in robbing the house of a Mr. Marks, jeweller, at Cardiff, to a considerable extent, land that the person connected with him had been transported for another offence. He cz,nessed a wish that his confession should be generally known, it hawing been stated by persons that Mr. Marks had not been robbed. Both the culprits joined the Chaplain in earnest prayer. When the executioner was about to draw the caps over their faces, the two unfortunate young men kissed each ether, and shook hands ; they remained hand in hand when the bolt was withdrawn and the drop fell. Champion was much convulsed for several seconds, and struggled hard. James was a • considerable time dying, but not so much convulsed as his companion.—Eseter breams Luminary, Aug. 27. WARWISK, Auo. 27.—Willians,Milkr, who was on • Friday last capitally convicted at our Assizes of the wilful murder of Mary Anne Lane, at Harbury, in this county, suffered the dreadful sentence of the law this . morning, in front of our county gaol. His behaviour since his condemnation has been uniformly decent and orderly; and previous to his execution this morning, he joined in the solemn offices of religion with resignation. He ascended the fatal platform with considerable firmness; and after being engaged in prayer with the Chaplain of the prison, he was launched into another r world. He was convulsed for several minutes after the
