111 , I I I t r 1 r_-_~-" ~F IRELAND. The following Letter signed " Moll Doyle" has been addressed to the editor of the Deblin Evening J'osl. It proves that the parties engaged in the present outrages in Ireland, are assisted by some who are not deficient in education, and it explains the real grounds of the discontent now unfortu nately existing in that devoted country. SlR,—Though I own that I neither love nor like you for your continued persecution of me and my family, in your paper, and your manifold schemes to rouse our good friends, the landlords and magistrates, against us, I am willing to follow your own example, and shake hands with my enemy, so that there may . be no want of concord amongst all classes of his Majesty's subjects; and, as you are now such an advocate for conciliation, and draw such glowing pictures of universal philanthropy, benevolence. Christian charity, and the like fine things, 1 shall hope for your aid in behalf of my poor boys, than whom, with a little kind treatment, his Majesty has not better subjects. Very many lies have been told of us, and 'tongs laid to our charge that we know not of: we have been insolted and abused by all parties, as it answeted their purposes, with little advantage to ourselt es, the great loss to the country, and weary, at length, of the life we have led for years. But, in order to render the reconciliation permanent, we must avoid all future temptation : for this purpose prayer alone will nut be sufficient, and, as open confessiou is good for the soul, a lew lines occasionally to you, by way of inffirination, of the inducements that may be held out to us to transgress, 111.1 y has e the &eel of keeping temptation from us, at least it will assure you of out sincerity, and interspersed watt occasional sketches of my birth, parentage, and education, may be amusing, if not instructive. •. Illicit distillation has been, of late, the main stay of my faintly; it kit secured us friends among all elassts; I.y it the farmer gets rather more fur his corn—the land lord la better paid his rent—the geotleniali is supidied whir a cheaper beverage—and the peasant aflinded his 1-Jimmie cordial iii the manufacture, sale, purchase, and keep 01 the potteen. All are concerned and liable to penalties; ass informer is equally dreaded by all ; and such effect has this community of interest and of fears oil virtue districts, that every outrage of any of the inhabi tants is conniver, at by the others, and protection afforded to them against every law process, by a call for some of my boys, who are acquainted with the secret springs that activate the magistrates, the gentry, the landlords, the landiudders, the police, and the peasantry, who °oily laugh at legal forms, proclamations, inwards, warrants, sof CUIISLIbIes; and with what r,asan, the following scene, at a late Warier Sessions,in a proclaimed district, will, I trust, satisfy you, it beteg the first Session since the introduction tit the Peelers. Myself and my boys were anxious to know how the land lay (as we term it.) His Worship the barrister was on the bench, with sonic of our neighbouring magistrates; he made a long speech about me and my children, and how he himself made the Government proclaim the district, and that until lie took 01l the Peelers they should remain ' What is his worthy's name with the w hig ?' says I, and where does he liver By my soul,' says my son I'tt, that is snore than 1 can tell you, but I know he is trot an Irish man, and that it will not he an easy matter to find faint any where for the next three months, as lie only steps down once every quarter for three or four d lys, to earn his bool. per year, besides pocketing the sm a ll f e es.' • P a ddy (says I), the times are altered ; the time w. s when sonic of our own worthy gentlemen, born and bred anioNst us, would be silting in his place, knowing us all, and giving us his advice ; and if he had any thilig haul to say, or good to tell us, all the Alagistrates round him would join in it ; so that even their punishments were all re ceived sod submitted to, it was a bad day for Ireland that her magistrates gave up their true places; and until they shall resume them again, they will not go right ; and, indeed, I feel as I speak.' His Worship then ad dressed the Grand Jury about potteen whishiy. Paddy (says I), that will ruin us; why don't these other Jus tices that we know take a pal tin the si-ceell ?'. Molt, hush! mother, (says he), they are laughing in their sleeves at him ; did not 'rim and I sell them a nice hall barrel each, of good potteen last Monday; and did not his Worship on the right sell me five barrels of run malt, for which I paid his Honour at his own table, and the exciseman by his side i His Worship, the Barrister, may talk as he pleases ; them other Magistrates have iii• terests enough to save us frotu all harm. Did not his Worship on the left make the exciseman give back the worm and pot that he took from Toni Corrogan last Soo day night, and hold his tongue about it? and as to the Grand Jury and Petty Jury, the High Constable, and the permanent Sergeant, don't you know every mother's babe of them to be either potteen or malt-makers or dealers; and did I not bring in the nice fivelaflon jar this moiling, to his Worship the Barrister's own man, the crier, with a promise of two more when he came next, at 4s. tid. per gallon ? Sure it is time for its now to know how things work; 'tis all palaver curs sla, as his worthy Squire .---'s datialiter says in the little song which she sings for us when we take her Honour the present of ponce!) ; and as to the Peelers, do you think they could do any thing against the interest of their Worships, our neighbouring Magistrates, the Sessions Juries, and our other friends? To tell the truth of these same Peelers. they are decent fellows etioulOs ; and one of them told me the Barrister ordered that they were not to mind or ext cute any warrants for common offences; so that as long as we keep Irons bunting houses, they won't meddle with us ; and I suppose th s the reason the Peelers allowed the big putteen-maker, in another proclaimed district, to be rescued, and one of the fired at and wounded next door to their guard-house, by a large mob, because it was only a sheriff's warrant for something shout a thousand pounds of a debt, without joining el a hearty cause ci the bailiffs. To be sore, s true of our magistrates do their business clumsily enouli, ill so much as to °take it dangerous to accept THE NATIONAL REGISTER of their friendship, however, well intended ; for bless the mark,' common sense and many of them might be married, inasmuch as there subsists no relationship; but my boys are grown sufficiently intelligent to distinguish between ' a sheep's head and carrot,' as the common phrase goes. " This little session scene will show you that our course are as faulty as ourselves ; and now that I have determined in good earnest to reform, let the gentry and the authorities of the country respect the laws, as I shall serve them as they would am; (if it answered their pur pose)—expose them to your view." DISTURBED IMSTRICTS. ( From Mc Clowns! Herald.) NVe can scarcely recollect an incident of more horrible atrocity since the hurtling of Scullabouge in the last Irish rebellion, than that which occurred on Monday night the 19th inst., at or near, " The Seven Acres," a farm so called, between Thorny Bridge and Clogheen, at the foot of Shvvenaman, in this county. The place was the re sidence of a better Lind of farmer named Shea, who had recently put out some under tenants at will, as they are called, who hold without lease, by civil bill process, and had possessed Mansell of their lands. For this, he was served with a notice, th it unless he restored the old oc cupants, he should suffer for it ; and being determined to preserve his property, and to resist the attack with which he was menaced, he provided himself with fire arms in sufficient number, for a good defence, and got into his house two or three neighbours, of resolute cha racter for his assistance. These precautions, it seems, were fatally rendered useless, for on a late hour on the night above-mentioned, he and his numerous family, consisting in all of eighteen, men, women, and child ren, found the dwelling ; house in flames around them. Shea the owner, appears to have been the first to burst oat out his assailants, but was instaittly shot, and thrown back into the flames; another making a similar attempt shared the same late ; and before the murderers departed, every soul in the house was burned to death I This is the pith and marrow, as far as we can learn from eye witness of the ruins, who has taken out Mr. Thompson, the coroner, to bold an inquest on the bodies. The conflagration, which continued until a late hour on Tues day morning, was seen at a great distance: and one gen tleman, asking a COUntryin3ll, whom he met on the road, two or three miles from the place, what could oc casion such a fire, was answered with perfect sangfroid, " Nothing, I suppose, but 11.11!slaction they are taking fiir the poor people that were turned out of their houses Cot her day." QUEEN'S COUNTY.—WedrICSday night last, the 21st instant, a 'tarty of men attacked the house of a person 1/iluied Morphs+, near Cullahill, in this county, within four miles of Johnstown, county Kilkenny. 'l'lte party having succeeded in breaking in, dragged Mogul, and beat him so cruelly with spades, that in a short time they deigned him of life; after which they nearly sf:verea his head from his body with a billhook. The reason as signed for this atrocious outrage is, that Al orphy pro. seemed two persons who had stolen sheep loon him, and who were convicted of that offence at Om last assizes. Coo au(of CLa mt.—Saturday evening the 17th inst. as a man belonging to Janes Creagh, Esq. of Carbane, in the county of Clare, was returning home from Ennis, at five o'clock, he was waylaid and murdered at Cratloe, by some persons unknown. Suspicion is attached to a man whom he had a dispute with some time back, at the fair of Six-mile-bridge, by the said county. His tkull was literally broken to pieces; he has left a %%lie with five children to deplore his loss. An inquest was held on the body by It •G. Greene, Esq. Verdict— " Wilful Murder, saainst persons unknown." The Clore Journal, of Monday the 17th instant, re asserts what it had formerly stated, respecting the death of Gleeson, the unfortunate young man who hid been wounded at SIX-Mile-bridge. It says, that the house was enveloped in flames before the death of that person, but still leaves it 3 matter of doubt whether the wretched creature lost his hie by accident or design. MURDER OP MAJOR COLLIS, NEAR TRALEE. (I4om Me Limerick Clnonicle..) On Thursday the house of Major Collis, within a mile and a half ut Tralee, was entered by a large party and robbed of every article which the villains could lay hands on. Not content, the murdering gain; struck :11.1jor Collis a blow of a gnu on the head, which de pmed him of hfe and afterwards fired some shots into his body. The house of the Rev. Edw. Nash was also attacked on the same night, but the fellows were beat olf, as he had arms and assist ince in the house. Mr. Nash was reported to be wounded in the breast. Our corres pondent concludes his letter by stating, that—'• God only knows where this business will end." THE LATE ATROCITY IN Tuft COUNTY OF TIPPERARY.

A man of the name of P. Dillon fired a shot towards Shea's house, which was returned by one or two shots from persons about the house on tire, who shouted, and desired Dillon come on if he dared.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR NOYEMIER. Our information from the country, at present, affords little of novelty. The disheartening conclusion of a season, most unfortunate and calamitous to the cultiva. tors of the soil, is at hand, without the slightest present prospect of relief to the sufferers, or the solace of any cheerful anticipations of the future. The report of the day, however, goes the leueth of asserting the actual formation of a new and powerful opposition party of the lauded interest in Parliament, which, it is supposed (a frail supposition, perhaps) will occasion more disquiet and actual danger to Ministers, than all the Whig or Radical badgering of the past times. It has been likewise said, that the late general temporary abatement of rents has originated in an erroneous policy, which can never answer one of its inn ions purposes; and that a fair per manent reduction would, in the end, have better sub. , served the interest of bath parties. The comparatively small quantity or wheat winch has been well harvested, is said to be fully equal, in quantity and measure, to the fonous crop of last year; and so extensive was the breadth sown last season, that the markets will be amply sniiplied during the ensuing, however ordinary the qua lity of the greater part may be. The grand substitute, pot,:toes, is pot dow n as half a criqv of which a great part wili he of a blighted and inferior quality ; and now our sage and learned curls conjurors, in imitation of the ex. ample of their grandsires, they have a new and fine op portunity to task their wits fur a discovery of the Cattle of that disease. \Vneat sowing has been well performed on all forward and good lands ; on those of a less form. nate description, front the interruption of too much wet, it has been an irksome and troublesome operation : its truth, fanning on such soils more particularly has beets from early spring"to the present month, a most irksome, harassing, and expensive labour; a melancholy addition to a desperately losing game. The early sown wheats arc very forward amd luxuriant, and if no frosts come to check them, will be winter-proud. Should the moisture of the atmosphere continue, sheep in the low-lands will be in danger of the rot. Turnips, but with more fitilage than bulb, and grass in plenty; but where they have capital to purchase stock, they cannot entertain very sanguine hopes of remuneration for their outlay. Mar kets, both for the live and dead commodity, have then progressively sinking every week since our last report. Titus the farmer and grazier's sheet anchor seems to fail him. The remedy of long continued fundamental errors is, oohs ppiiy, etitiaq fatal with the disease. Escentric cm toms Tiller . —There was once a Duke of Shoreditch, but the title is extinct. His Grace of Shore ditch, together with the Marquis of Holton, the Mar quis of Pancras, and the Mar q uis of Shacklewell, ap pear to have been gentlemen archers, and to have ob tained those titles from harry VIII. at Windsor. It is well known that the head of the society of bowmen, or archers, held their titular dignity for a long series of years alter, and we believe this is one of the very in stances in which eminent titles have been laid aside without attainder. flu Grace of Shoreditch held a grand fete In Smithfield, Seprember 17, ISBJ, in which 404)0 archers were collect tied in the processions and ceremo nies, of whom above Iwo were decorated with gorgeous gold chains. On Thursday last the body of a man of very respect able appearance, was found drowned in the River Thames. Ile was dressed in a terry coat with blue pan taloons, and waistcoat of the same colour, and his !Mtn marked R. S. 1). and his handkerchiefs R N. 7. His body was carried to St. Clement Danes workhouse, Carey-street, to tie owned. PRECEDENT.—SamneI Lovell, a Welch Judge, and maternal grandfather to the late Mr. Edgeworth, who travelling user die sands near Bea 1111 l arts as he was going his circuit, was aye/taken by the night and by the title ; his coach was set fast in a quicksand ; the water soon rose into the coach, and his registrar and sonic other at tendants crept out of the windows, and mounted on the roof and on die coach-box. The Judge let the water rise to his very lips, and with becoming gravity replied, to all the earnest entreaties of his attendants, " I will follow )our counsel, if you can quote any precedent for a J tid6e's mounting a coach Lox."
