IRELAND. --sams-- • " It is a curious circumstance," says a Dublin Paper, " that the noted robber, Grant, kept a public-house two years in the county of Wexford, near to the place where lie was finally ap prehended; but having always been known th• re by the name of George Cooney, no one suspected he was the gaol-oreaker and plunderer of Queen's County, of whom so many were in search, until Mr. Clarke, the gaoler of l'ilary borough, whom Capt. Phelan sent down for the purpose, identified him as the old inmate of his prison. When attacked, Whelan would not submit until Grant had surrendered. Even after he had given in, he snatched a bayonet from a soldier, with which he stabbed the poor fellow in the back, and for which he would base been put to death on the spot, but for the ram lions of Capt. Jacob and the Officer commanding the party. Grant offered to give every information in his power, if Government would save his life ; bat his proposal has het at rejected. Whelan made the Paine otter, but was also refused. has, however, communi. rated such facts as will effectually root out the gang of winch ha was second in command ; but on this subject it would be im prudent to enlarge." SIXMILAIt AnvEsyruar.--Thoinas and John Carson were OW for the wilful murler of Charles Cassidy, at Kilmainham Wood, in fic county of Meath, on the 11th of.fune, hurt.—A verdict of Guilty win found against Thomas Carson, acquitting the other prisoner. The .flulge (Kelly) then platinumAl sentence of death on Thomas Carron, directing that the execution should take place on Friday at one o'dis3. At live o'clock on Friday morning, a brother of the prisoner came to the Fison to see the unhappy culprit, and informed the gaoler that Mr. Vawirright. the clergyman, would attend in a short tim.: to pray with and alininist,c the sacrament to his brother. The I aaerred deal te had very hum. rely directed that his relations should have access to the pri soner, so that his brother was permitted to go into the condemn-4 eel] to some time after, thz gaoler mine to nog:la:at his brother that the time Wai very short, that his orders for the hour of ee.anition were ~:n;:untory—and that, if the clergyman was rap:tied. s' had beater send :rim, it being nearly six o'clock.

The prisoner entreated to be allowed to pray a little lon ger, which was per and he seemed for stair., time lithe absorbed in devotion: at length, the gaoler becoming impatient, he rose from the straw on which he was kocAing, and welcomed his ur.ele. The letter started back, astoaished. exelaiming. " Good God ! how grief has altered him—this e meet h' Tommy!' and. looking nearer— " No." said he, •• this is Ant..ony Carson!" clergyman was amazed—the gaoler ran di wt: stairs, and discovered that the pen - on whom he had sent fur the clergyinan, was no ether than the convict himself, who had not thought proper to return. Coming back into his cell• the gatil-r cried out in a rage. " Your brother is gone off; what shall I do? lam ruined !" " Gone off!" cried Anthony, with great surprise, " Oh, .1--1 b he has tatter away my big coat !‘' It appeared, upon farther investigation, that Anthony, who was in the same corps. and nearly of the same size and appearance of the con vict, had come to the prison wrapped in a frice great coat, which he Rave to the convict• while the gaoler was unlocking the cell ; wrapped in this cot, and attended by the gaoler, Thomas passed all the doors of the prison, and walked deliberately into the street ; from whence, in great apparent affliction, he looked up at the preparation fur execution, and passed on, as if to Mr. Wainwright's house. Notwithstanding the most diligent search, no tidings have ye: bar:' learned of him. The brother was detained in prison to be tried for a in aiding in the escape. Tue TOWER GROM—Last Monday night gave birth to a most important discovery, the detection of no less than the Tower Ghost. It will, doubtless, be in the recollection of niost of our Readers, that considerable anxiety, not unmixed with alarm, had a few months since been excited among the inha bitauts of the Towe►, by a singular appearance, which fur smite nights was observed near time northeast bastion, assuming a variety of forms of the most terrific and appalling nature, and in one or two instances had nearly proved fatal, from ex treme fright, to the sentinel stationed on the spot. The strictest inquiry at the time was instituted, but nothing could be elicited that would in any degree contribute to the elucidation of this mysterious circumstance, or lead to the detection of the nee. Lanai disturber. What had disturbed and puzzled the heads of officers, both military and civil, has been discovered by the sentinel on ditty on its re-appearance the night above alluded to, to be nothing more than the reflection of a figure from the window of a house adjoining, effected by a magic lantern. Some credit is certainly due to the soldier in question, fur his comparative personal courage with that of his predecessors ; and, we trust, the repose of the garrison will not be again broken in upon, by an exploit which, however amusing to its thoughtless perpetrator, is pregnant with mischief, might pas ibly have been productive of the most serious consequences, nil which is at best the hei4lit of fully. WALKING TO THE RIGHT.—The Manchester Chronicle of Saturday ne'tinight, contains the following useful notice on this subject, which we copy, in the hope that its insertion may be of service in remedying a similar inconvenience much com plained of in our own populous town:—" The Commissioners of Police feel it necessary to recommend, as an indispensable role of public convenience in the populous town of Niancluster, that every individual when passing along the footways should invariably incline and KEEP TO THE RIGHT HAND, where it is practicable; and also that those who find it needful to stand together in the streets for the purpose of conversation, should always retire close to Its wait, so as to leave the footways mein terrupteel." A most horrible discovery has been wide in Tniro. A crate, containing a quantity of straw and some phials of inflammable liquid, was on Monday nicht introduced into the cellar of Mr. E. Clemenee, turner, in and about which were large quantities of dry wood, hay,fcrti, &c. The combustibles were set on fire and partly consumed; but providentially without doing the in jury which was meditated, the incendiaries leaving shut the door after k hulling the destructive mass, and thereby defeating their intentions, as tlw flame soon expired for want of air. Had the horrible design of the persons implicated in this transaction taken etfeet, there is no calculating the loss of lives and pro perty which wool(' probably have ensued, the premises of Mr. Ckmence bring completely suriounded by buildings of a de scription most likely to fail a speedy prey to the devouring (le nient. We understand that an account of the affair has been transmitted to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment.

Or is it to be endured, that a combination of tradesmen should thus deprive the grower of his fair remuneration, and impose on the public with the high rate of a monoply ? London alone is thus taxed about 30001. per day —a sum which would relieve all its paupers.

It appears from private communications, that the French still 10, , k with longing eyes, but, we suspect, with vain hopes, to the re-possession of St. Domingo.— Some tavern meeting in London, at whi c h th e h ea lth o f the King of Hayti was drank, Las called tiwth strong animadversions in the Paris Myer:. The history and character of the sable Sovereign are exposed most unmer cifully, and the claims of the King of France to thu island are stoutly asserted. It is probable enough that the charges against him are well thuntled ; but we must recollect the train of dismal events which ended in this phenomenon, of a negro sovereignty in the Vest ladies. It was after a series of disorders, that the slaves, selll - erected a throne of their own, on which Christophe now sits. Buonaparte, a greater usurper than Christophe, sent his brother-in-law, I.(elere, whit near 40,000 Frenchmen, to St. Domingo ; most of tLem found their graves in the Lie island which they tra versed the ocean to conquer. The black man, whatever he may be, holds possession of the place—he is King tf Hayti ; and in this, and other countries, he has pur chased all the feathers and trappings of a in.tirtr:•h. is beyond the power of the present French C‘vermavnt to subdue him.
