SPECI.IL COMMISSION LIMERICK. EXECUTION OF SHAUGHNESSY & MAGRATH, FOR SEIZING ARMS. LIMERICX, Dee. 25.—Yesteiday. at a quarter past two o'clock, these two unhappy men were exeented at Gnllows•green. Notwithstanding the great interest which many persons in this neighbourhood might be 'supposed to have felt upon this event, there weir but few to witness it, and scarcely twenty of their own elllSB of the peasantry attended. It is generally supposed that several thou• sands of the batter classes of labourers and small cottiers have been implicated in these disturbances, and that they are afraid to strew themselves in public, for fear of being recoguised, as guilt is always ti 000 id; it was observed by many, that during the Commission they kept aloof also, and were not visible in any part of Limerick, as upon ordinary occasions. The two unhappy felons were es , coned by a troop of the cll. Dingoes' Guards, two cow parties of the 79111 regiment, and some of Capt. Drought's City Police, mounted and dismounted. Four Roman Ca tholic Clergymen were unremitting in their solicitude for the future welfare of the wretched ststfeters. Shaughnessy was greatly altered in his appearance since his condensna tion--.Magratli was not. W ben the procession reached the usual spot of execntion. a ring was formed by both cavalry and infantry. and the two prisoners knelt on the ground, and remained in fervent prayer for about twenty minutes. The hangman, meantime, who is an old, dem' pid, Iniseratile looking being, and who wore no disguisa whatever, fin ring it inconvenient to stand in the which covered the place of eteention, took some hay out of his cart, and played it tinder Isis feet ,moil the prisoners ..asked dow e l to him. The Rev. Mr. Handralian, and twit other clergymen, then ascended the temporary scaf fold. Shaughnessy stepped up lightly, and was followed by Alagrath, who appealed equally firm and retiree , '; there was not the slightest symptom of fear visible in either; their demeanour was solemn and contrite; they appeared to have profited by Isle advice of the lion. J um ice Moore, who had sentenced them, and also by the I wholesome coun.el of their attentive confessors, for it was evident that their thunglias were not on the earth, butt seemed to soar superior to the find condition of morality; and happy was it for them, that their minds were fixed on that impel ishable kingdom, within which all hope fur habitation. Shaughnessy spoke as follows, only a few moments be fore the fatal signal was given : My Ft ieuils,—l pray Gud to bless you all; I beseech you to offer up you• players to heaven for the salvation of our immortal souls. Refine I die I would wish to con y% a we'll of advice to our late deluded associates; I wish to implore them to have more sense; they never can hope to accomplish their purposes. whatever they are.

Oh! let them do it, or they will rue the day. it was not I tln.rt I Oilbl.ll the officer of his arms—mote I catmot say. God ill hea. ven bless ye." A clergyman then threw the cap over his face.

I ant fully sensible of illy ensue:. Oh! friends give up, sin render your arms." He then resumed his ayers—each of the culprits held a *Mail eineitix in his right hand, which they with great lervour pressed to their hi misty. The wretched ;talents of each of the still . ..rent were present, and anti the wife of Nlagrath—their state defies description—the platform having brew a ithilrawn, they wet e ti militated into another wend. iNlagratli, although shoo, was a heavy 111411, the ro pe that bu.peatted 6iul was lung, and he was dealt in uwr 1111/1111.111.

Extract of a private letter from Limerick, dated Dec. 20:—Another dreadful martial has been com mitted in this country. You may have seen from the Irish papers accounts of nightly attacks made upon the house of a Mr. Conden, of Scart, near ltathkeal, several times in the coarse of the last six months. He took a man named Gorman for his tenant, in the room of one whom he had ejected.— This man became obnoxious as an intruder. The famed ' Captain Rock' sent him notice to quit, with which he did not comply. A party of ruffians at tacked his house last night, denouncing terrible ven geance. Gorman and his two sons, able-bodied young men, resisted their entrance manlully. Upon this the party attacking connuenced a fire of sags through the doors and windows, and one of the young men was shot dead through the breast, and the father 'sadly wounded in the kg and aria. Is it not singular this happened within a mile of a strong military post, the town of Rathkeal, and was not known there until two o'clock the next day? The fact was, that no one of the country people would dare to announce it. There were six military par ties near the place—the nearest half a milt:, the farthest little more than u mile. Information haul been given to the commanding officer a flirtnight before of the intended attack, and Gorman's lwase was guarded for several nights. At length the in formation was disivgarded, and the guard with drawn; and the very first night after, the murder conunittol. Some arms have been delivered up, but of such a futilely, that I verily believe it to be done either tint a stratagem, or fn• a joke by ('apt. Rock,'—old guns and pistols wit;tuut locks, fit only to make horse shoes. I need not tell you, the boys' here (so they call thetitielves) know the difference in the use of fire-ar:as." I NCSNDIAIt I itit Apt. It hit EN uED Tuesday last two men, of the names to Baker and H,toGtrd, were cue s• milted to Ma 1111 l outh gaol, by J. 11 ildwvit, Esq. on 4 charged' wilfully setting fire. on the 7th of Oztolser, 18 lb. to a building or outhouse !whinging to William Curse, situate near his tl tvelhug house at Itioncourt ; also to a h.trts. his properly, nut far distant thereir ; which last-mentioned !militia% was entirely destroyed, and sad to relate, a poor 111311. 1010 had retired there to sleep, was burnt to death. The circumstances that have led to a discovery of these olientlers are very singular. Both of them are married men ; hut BastslOrd has for some nine lived separate (torn his wile, who, in consequence thereof, eneaszeil herself as a set Vd tit at one of the pritici. pal tuns ut Bath.

This declaration came to the knowledge of one in the magistrates, who deemed it of sufficient importance to insinsate au inquiry ; and Mu parties were apprehended and conveyed its Coepsinw,andi from thence sent to gaol; previous to whiett, Batulord made a full confession of the crime with which they stand charged. 1
