INTELLIGENCE.

ILLIAM Blenerhaffet, Efq; of Elmgrove, diftrained from lands in the figniory of Caftle-ifland, and lodged the cattle in the pound of Bally-M'Eligot; it was befet on Thursday night by a numerous armed mob, who, upon the pound keeper's appearance, fired upon, and fhot him through the lungs, and then broke open the pound and carried off the cattle. We have not yet heard whether the poor man be dead, but there were little hopes of his recovery.

A man of the name of Hindion, of Caftleinland, has been apprehended through the spirited exertions of Mr. Blenerhaffett, and he has turned approver against his affociates.

Belfast, Now. 18. Yesterday, in confequence of an advertisement for taking into confideration the bill for effectuating a commercial intercourfe between this kingdom and Great Britain, the meeting of the inhabitants of Belfait was very refpectable, owing to the unanimity of fentiment that prevails in this place on that fubject. We are affured, that the following is the purport of the principal refolutions entered into:

neighbourhood of Limerick, and by the Right Hon. Gentleman who at prefent fills the chair, in the county of Louth, Ireland would shortly affume a better appearance. The laudable exer tions of Mr. Conyngham, in Donegall, to inftitute a fifhery, and of Mr. Baron Hamilton to eftablish manufactories at Balbriggen, give bread to thousands, and justly challenge public grati tude and efteem, in favour of thofe generous men who hazard their property in patriotic endeavours to enrich their country. Such charac ters among the wife nations of antiquity, would be held in higher honour than the most illuftri ous conquerors.

By letters from the Queen's County, we have been informed, that there is difcovered on the lands of Corbally, the property of Thomas Fitz gerald, Efq; a mine which is likely to produce as good coals as any in Ireland, as the different Aratum of flate (fulphur) and iron mines are the richest that has been landed in any colliery in the kingdom, and the ground, where it lies is in the beft improved country, and fets for 11. 125. an acre, and lies within three miles of Athy, ca. Kildare: it would be well worth the while of those famous miners, now on a progress through the kingdom, to take a view of it, as it hids

fairer to be of greater ufe to this city than any colliery which has ever been yet difcovered.

A few days ago was married, Mr. James O'Kavanagh, of Bumbahall, near Baltinglaf, in the county of Wicklow, to the agreeable Mifs Peggy Grace, of Monrua, in the faid county.. The wedding was, the most fumptuous ever remembered in the neighbourhood, there being scarce a perfon of diftinction in that part of the country, who was not prefent. Some of the company having retired to Mr. Grace's barn, to dance, by fome accident it caught fire, which not only, cauled great confufion, but entirely demolished the out-offices; happily no lives

were loft.

As the measles are now very rife through the town, a medical correfpondent recommends to fuch families as cannot afford to employ a phyician, to avoid the hot regimen in this difcale, Many fatal errors have been committed in the meades, as well as in the small-pox, by keeping patients too warm, and giving heating medicines and liquors; diluting ptifans and drinks, keeping the body moderately open, and the room cool, will in general carry patients happily over this diforder in the pace of 9 or 10 days.

The exportation of live cattle from the northern parts of this kingdom to Great Britain, is become fo enormous, that it is computed five hundred head of black cattle are shipped off every week from the ports of Donaghadee and Newry. This accounts for the cellation of orders for barreled beef from Scotland, Lancafhire, Cumberland, and Chefbirea circumftance pregnant with the most ferious confequences to this ifland, did not the diffemination of manufactures open the perfpective of an inland confumption.

20.] This afternoon their Graces the Duke and Duchets of Rutland, arrived at the lodge in the Phoenix Park from their late tour.

28.] Early this morning, the prifoners in Naas gaol, confined for different felonies, found means to make their escape from the rere of faid gaol; there were 13 prifoners in all, 12 of which made their efcape.

Dec. The largett bullock killed in DubJin for many years, was one laft Friday, by Mr. John Walker, of Meath-Market, weighing up wards of 14 hundred.

Very early this morning, four or five Inde pendent Dublin Volunteers apprehended 15 fufpicious perfons, (among whom were fome proitutes dreffed in elegant riding, habits) in a noted houfe of ill fame in Effex-street, and had them tecured in St. Andrew's watch-house til! morning, and from thence conducted to New gate. Eight of thole ruffians were difcovered concealed in a cellar under the brothel, with no other entrance thereto but a trap-door in the infide; feveral fhots were fired by the villains through the trap-door, and from the houfe before they were taken, which happily did no damage. One of those defperadoes received a dangerous wound of a small fword in the body by one of his affociates juft before they were apprehended.

4.] About three o'clock this morning, a gentleman of Amsterdam, returning from ParliamentReses to College-green, was attacked by two

footpads at the Old Poft-office Yard, and after receiving the most inhuman treatment, (being lit-' tle less than the lofs of life) he was robbed of a gold watch, a gold-headed cane, his hat, his furtout, and his coat, his buckles, his very handkerchief, and to the amount of 65 pounds, in money and paper.

The herring fifhery in the South and Western parts of this kingdom, continues in the fame abun→ dance, as at the commencement a month ago. The people of Paffage, Kinfale, Clonaghkilty, Crookhaven, and along the coaft, from Capeclear in the South, to Sligo, and Donegal-bay in the North-Weft, employ above fixteen hundred boats, and a proportionable number of men in this moft ufetul trade, which has spread fuch plenty over thole countries, that the poor have reason to thank that kind Providence for a boun ty, which abundantly latisfies their wants, whil it fpares their meal and their corn for another time. The vaft quantities of these fifh, are curing and packing for foreign markets, especially the Weft-India islands, where provifion is now very fcarce; fo great is the overflow, that the best fell in the above-mentioned places for threepence per hundred.

5.] At a veftry held in St. Luke's parish, is was agreed on, that a number of the inhabi tants should, for fome little time, take it in their turn to patrole faid parish at night, in order to prevent the frequent robberies, &c. fo frequent at this feafon of the year.- -Such a laudable undertaking is certainly praife-worthy, and ought to be followed by the other parishes in this metropolis.

6] Laft night about 12 o'clock, a man, feemingly much in liquor, was stopped and rob bed of his hat at the corner between Boot and Mary's lane. Tho' he feized on the robber the very act and held him for a confiderable time, ftill calling on the watch, yet none of them came to his affiftance, being at that time, as it is thought, in a night-houfe within a few yards of the place, whence it is imagined the robber had iffued, in company with the remainder of the gang; at length, a gentleman happening to pass that way, who was going home to h lodging, endeavouring to affilt the injured party in fecuring the robber, a great number of the gang fallied forth from their rendezvous, and had it not been for the seasonable coming up of four or five gentlemen, would in all probabi lity have murdered him. A watchman is ufually pofted on the very spot where this young man was attacked, who took efpecial care to be then abfent, and not a light was to be seen in Mary'lane, or any of the lanes or streets adjoining except in Capel-ftreet.

8.] This morning, about the hour of feven o'clock, three or four villains attacked the house of Mr. Boothe, in Chancery-lane, and had the audacity to fo ce open one of the fhuts (they be ing out-fide.) Upon the fhuts being forced open one of the ftaples belonging to the bolt broke fuddenly, and alarmed a gentleman and his wife, who lay in the parlour; the gentleman imme. diately got up to the window, not thinking bu it had been left open all night, when he difcovered one of the robbers with one leg on the rails and the other on the wall directly und

the window, the gentleman immediately went into the back parlour where Mr. Boothe lay, but on the robbers hearing a noife, they made a precipitate retreat, without effecting their villainous purpofes.

25.1. This morning between the hours of one and three o'clock, fome villains by means of a ladder, fcaled the garden wall of Sir George Ribton, Bart. of Landscape, in the county of Dublin, and proceeded to the green-house adjoining the dwelling-houfe, and cut and ftripped the whole lead thereof, and conveyed the fame away by a car, as traced by the track; they left a large crow or wrench behind them.

A fhip is just arrived here from Holland, laden entirely with rape oil for the city lamps. It is beyond conception aftonishing, not that fuch a quantity as the above cargo contains of rape oil, fhould be imported at one time, but that there Should be any at all brought into this kingdom, when it is a known fact that there is not a foil in the world fo friendly to the production of rape as the bogs of Ireland.

Inftance of vegetation in Ireland.

In the beginning of laft month, 360 pecks of potatoes, called London Ladies, were dug up in a field belonging to the Rev. Nicholas Hamilton, in Donaghadee, from 68 perche of land. The produce was from feven pecks, planted in rows four feet afunder, and twelve ir hes between each fet, in the beginning of April late Confequently the increafe from the quant much exceeded that at Arthop, near in England, mentioned lately, but mu from the land in proportion to the number of perches planted in each place, but the quantity of feed planted make a material difference, the one being nearly as fixteen pecks to the acre, the other nearly fifty-four.
