=================================

Match Making; An article from 1898 in The Daily Chronical described phosphorus poisoning as ‘one of the most terrible and painful diseases to which the workers are subject.’ The various roles of matchgirls meant they regularly interacted with these harmful chemicals. A report from 1893 noted ‘Insufficient food’ meant workers were less nourished and therefore had a ‘small power of resistance’ to fight off the disease. Poor dental hygiene among the working class also made them more vulnerable. A report covering 1882 to 1897 documented that the mortality rate in cases of phossy jaw at Bryant & May was 19.15% – almost one in five.

By this time there was some regulation under the Factory Act 1878, but it was very limited compared to the provisions in other countries. The practice of using white phosphorus was becoming increasingly controversial, especially as red phosphorous did not have the same horrific impact, but could be used to make safety matches.

RARE SERVICE FOR THE BLIND

SERVICES for nearly 250 blind people throughout Kerry ¦ are “barely surviving” according to the Chairperson of the Kerry branch of the (National Council, for the Blind, Mary Jo McDonnell.

Last week nearly 100 bind people from around the county gathered in Ballybunion for the NCs Kerry Branch lunch. The organisation, in Kerry is finding it, increasingly difficult: to .run its services on, its present Health ‘Board grant,’ and voluntary subscriptions.

Next year the Kerry Branch, will be without a permanent headquarters when it: will have to vacate its present premises at the Social Services Centre in Tralee.

Moira finds that the attitude to the blind has changed with the general greater understanding of the disabled. Some bind people still have barriers, about using a white cane and, the attitude of sighted people can help in overcoming these.

Meanwhile the fund raising by the Kerry Branch continues. One recent example of it was a marathon walk by Bernie O’Connor of Moyvane who works in Rehab in Tralee and who raised, £600 by walking from, Killarney, through Tralee and Listowel and, on to Ballybunion.

-------------------------------------------

Tonight, March 6 2024, is a big night for our own Vincent Carmody.

The Irish American Historical Society will bring the extraordinary story of Kathy Buckley to a New York audience.

“Born in Upper William Street in Listowel, Co. Kerry in 1885, immigrant Kathy Buckley had unprecedented access to the highest corridors of power of the 20th Century, not to mention some of the era’ best kitchens. She was once heard to remark, “If my sandwiches came back from the Oval Office uneaten, I knew then there was a world crisis.”

In 1900, Kathy was employed as a kitchen help at the Butler Arms Hotel in Waterville Co. Kerry. In 1906, some American guests dined there and one asked to meet the cook. He was none other than the famous banker, JP Morgan, and in a pivotal moment in her young life, Morgan offered Kathy a job as an assistant cook at his home in New York. She was eventually hired by Mrs. Grace Coolidge, wife of Calvin Coolidge, to head the White House kitchen.

The author of the book is Vincent Carmody, a proud Listowel man, who has published a number of books starting with North Kerry Camera: Photographic Memories of Listowel and its Surroundings 1860-1960, in 1989. He followed that book with Listowel – Snapshots of an Irish Market Town, 1850- 1950, in 2012.

The book will be launched by culinary journalist and historian Laura Shapiro. Her essays, reviews and features have also appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Gourmet, Gastronomica, Slate and many other publications. Her first book was Perfection Salad: Women and Cooking at the Turn of the Century (1986), which the University of California Press has reissued with a new Afterword. She is also the author of Something from the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America (Viking, 2004), and Julia Child (Penguin Lives, 2007), which won the award for Literary Food Writing from the International Association of Culinary Professionals in 2008″

HIS Kingdom of Kerry,—land of

is no less interesting to the antiquarian

and student of history than it is to the

abounds in archaeological remains from heathen

of historic note the county is no less remarkable. Of the

places round which memories cluster, sad or joyful, one is

Castle Magne, whose fortunes we are about to relate;—a

spot that during an eventful reign engaged the anxious

thoughts of a powerful sovereign, and one on which the

eyes of the Celt full oft were centred, from the feeling

that its struggle meant a rally for Ireland.

Such as we know it, Castle Magne is a scattered

hamlet on the banks of the Maine, ten miles south

of Tralee, and some three miles in a bee-line from

the head of Dingle Bay. It has one main street

PROMINENT KERRYMEN. (From a Correspondent.)

Boston, Oct. 21^st 1886

EVICTIONS AND MOONLIGHTING.

Evictions and moonlighting would appear to be the principal diversions in the " Kingdom" just now, if the cable messages are to be relied on. Not a day passes but the news of some heartless eviction or midnight maraud meets the eye of the reader. Of course some of the latter must be received cum grano salis, but still even if half the stories are true, Kerry must be in a very bad condition. It occupies more attention at present in the eyes of the American public than all the other counties in Ireland. Nothing is more painful than to read of the heartless work of the crow-bar brigade. It is painful, particularly to those who, themselves have suffered that extreme penalty of British law. In America there are thousands of Kerrymen to-day living in prosperity, and beneath the paternal roof of the most opulent government in the world, who have been driven from the homes of their fathers, and from all that made life worth living for by eviction. Every retrograde movement in the " Old Sod" is viewed with sorrow , all her progress and prosperity, with pleasure and with a wish and earnest prayer that the time will come when Irishmen can live in the land of their birth. How long will the Irish landlord continue his work is the question asked, and the only feasible is that he will

answer so continue, until the English Parliament grant Home Rule, or at least take some measure to prevent evictions. I hope that the first measure will be carried in the near future, and the only person Irish-Americans rely on to do this is the " Grand Old Man." It is astonishing what popularity Mr. Gladstone has gained since his introduction of the Home Rule Bill, The mere mention of his name in an assembly will evoke more enthusiasm than that of any other English statesman, and, in fact, he comes next to Parnell in popularity. This certainly is something to be proud of. Here in America with an Irish population of twenty millions, the name " Gladstone" is the lifebuoy as it were of Irish National aspirations. Nero's name was so dreaded in old Rome that mothers used it to frighten their children to sleep. " Gladstone" is used to conjure up hope and all that is dear to the Irish exile. England is widening the breach between the two countries by her tardy action, and by her persistence in longer delaying the culmination of the great event, which every Irishman, whether in the wilds of Texas, or old " Puritan Boston" wishes for—Home Rule. In-New York, the " Dublin of America," the Irish element have subscribed thousands of dollars for the Parliamentary Fund, and the same has been done all over the country. They believe and trust in Parnell and his noble phalanx, and are prepared to continue their subscriptions so long as Ireland is denied her rights.

JUSTIN M’CARTHY IN BOSTON.

Justin M'Carthy's lecture on the " Cause of Ireland" was given in the Boston Theatre on the 10th inst. The vast building, the largest theatre in the country, and next to " Gilmore's Garden," was crowded from pit to dome. Mathew Arnold stated in a recent article that no educated American took any interest in the" Irish Cause." I only wish Mr. Arnold could have seen the audience Mr. M'Carthy had, There were men on that platform whose combined wealth would probably purchase the fee       simple of the largest county in England ; men who have attained the highest pinnacle in mercantile, political, and literary pursuits. Mr. M'Carthy was introduced by an " exile," Mayor O'Brien, the ablest executive officer Boston has ever had, and when M'Carthy rose to address that vast assemblage, the ovation he received was something that can't be described. Cheering, and all the other manifestations of hearty greetings, were continued for several minutes, and when the hon. gentleman looked around at the demonstration that was taking place, he was visibly affected. Here were thousands of men, young and old, women and girls, some, probably most of them, only knew of Ireland's wrongs, from the recitals of the evicted father or mother; honouring a man, and for what reason ? Simply because he had fought for cause. It is marvellous to see what enthusiasm an Irish-American, evinces when the Irish cause is referred to. I have seen the Irishman on his own soil, and I have seen the son or daughter born here, and of the two the latter is the more patriotic. They have never seen " the little isle across the sea." They know her wrongs though, and will avenge them. Mr. M'Carthy was dined and wined by the cream of Boston's aristocratic circles, and no more convincing refutation of Arnold's slanderous statements could be given than Mr M'Carthy's reception here

COLLECTOR  FITZGERALD.

Kerry has no reason to be ashamed of her sons in Boston. They have come to the front in all walks of life, whether in the political arena, or in mercantile pursuits. The collector of Customs in this city, John E. Fitzgerald, is a Dingle man. This is one of the most important offices of the gift in the President, and it speaks volumes for Mr. Fitzgerald's ability. I have the pleasure of knowing the gentleman, and can assure you he deserved it. He was Fire Commissioner for several years, and on his retirement a few months ago, to accept his present appointment, was presented with a valuable silver dinner set, a gold-headed cane, and several other marks of regard. No man in Boston is held in higher esteem than he. The citizens of the city have elected him to several positions of trust. He has served three or four terms in the House of Legislature, and is the leading light of the Democratic party in Massachusetts. He is admittedly one of the best public speakers in the country, and whenever a town or city was supposed to be " lukewarm" for a Democratic candidate, " John E." was called into requisition, and by by the force of his reasoning’s and his eloquence, many a wavering city has been saved to that party.

With all the honors showered upon him here, it may be supposed he never casts a thought on the land of his birth; not so, however. No more ardent patriot breathes to-day than John E. Always prepared to speak, write, and subscribe for the cause of the old country. He is one of the closest students of Irish politics, and is a great admirer of the Philo-Celtic Society. He can himself speak the language fluently, and sing a good old Irish song with any man within the country, Mr. Fitzgerald recalls pleasure the happy days he spent in Dingle, and remembers all the old land-marks and places—" Holy Stone," "Connor Hill," &c Father Owen was P.P. in his time, and he speaks in the highest terms of that fine specimen of an Irish " Soggarth, the present respected P.P., " Father Dan." John E. is a man of whom Kerry may well feel proud. At some future time, I will write about other successful " Kerryoniaus."

EVICTIONS IN KERRY

Killarney, Saturday. Yesterday Sub-Sheriff Goodman, accompanied by the usual number of Emergency men and police, visited the district of Coolroe, part of the property of Mr. J. C. D. Hurley, of Fenit, over which Miss Lucy A. Thompson is agent, for the purpose of carrying out three evictions. The weather was very bad, during the day and while the evictions were- taking place heavy showers of rain and sleet fell at intervals which made matters worse for the families who were dispossessed. The shrivel party having arrived in the district they proceeded to the house of Mrs. Julia Mahony, a widow, and herself and her four young children were evicted. The Widow Mahony was evicted for one year's rent and the hanging gale. The rent of her farm is £45, the poor law valuation being £25-10s. She had an application to the Land Commissioners to have her rent revised. The evicting party next proceeded to the house of James Fitzgerald, of Flintfield, and evicted himself and his wife and four children. The former tenant of this farm—Mr. Bryan O'Brien, P. L. G.—was evicted seventeen years ago, because he refused to pay the rent claimed. The O'Brien family for generations were tenants of this farm, and immediately after Mr. B. O'Brien was evicted, the present tenant, who came from Listowel, went into occupation at a rent of £90, and paid a fine of £200. The house of Jeremiah D. Connor, of Lahern, was next visited, and he and his wife and three children were evicted, together with his grandmother, a woman ninety years old, who had to be taken out of bed before her removal. There are now twelve evicted families on this property, and their farms are in the hands of the Land Corporation, the best of the houses being occupied by Emergency men and police. The evicted families, who are very badly off, are grouped together at Lahern cross, in wooden huts, erected in the days of the Ladies Land League.

EVICTION IN VALENTIA.

Caherciveen, Friday.

A poor woman, Mrs. Nano O'Connor, of Valentia Island, was, with her family, evicted to-day by the sheriff's bailiff, John B. Dawley, who was protected by a strong force of police under the command of District-Inspector Gardiner, Caherciveen. The Rev. John Casey, P.P., Valentia, previous to the eviction, offered on her behalf to pay the whole amount, including costs, to the landlord, Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, but the offer was refused by the landlord's representative. A large number of people were present. The eviction was quietly effected, after which Mrs. O'Connor signed a caretaker's agreement, and was then allowed in as caretaker. Mrs. O'Connor's husband, the late David O'Connor, was a staunch and sincere Nationalist, and had many a tussle during his lifetime with the landlord. Since Mrs. O'Connor was served with an ejectment for the Kenmare Quarter Sessions, she has many sympathisers, as her case is regarded as a peculiarly hard one.

Famous Irish Societies

By John O'Dea

National Historian, A.O.H.

The temperance movement among Catholics was, from the visit of Father

Mathew in 1849, largely Irish. The societies first formed were united by no

bond until 1871, when the Connecticut societies formed a State Union. Other

states formed unions and a national convention in Baltimore in 1872 created

a National Union. In 1878 there were 90,000 priests, laymen, women, and

children in the Catholic Total Abstinence Benevolent Union. In 1883 the

Union was introduced into Canada, and in 1895 there were 150,000 members on

the American continent. From the C.T.A.B.U. were formed the Knights of

Father Mathew, a total abstinence and semi-military body, first instituted

in St. Louis in 1872.

IRISH WIDOWS

At Drogheda, the beggars besieged us in a way which, though embarrassing to

a young lady, was quite amusing to the other passengers. In handing this

lady into the coach after dinner, a woman approached us saying, 'your honor

will sure give something to a poor starving widow for the sake of the sweet

lady that owns you.' To get rid of this mode of attack, I gave her a penny.

This encouraged another, who exclaimed, 'your honor's a happy man, with such

a beautiful lady by your side. Don't forget a poor creature with eight

starving childer's.' She got her penny and departed only to give place to a

third, who began, 'Long life to your honor and your honor's beautiful lady.

May you find the sweet little ones quite well when you get home.' This one

gave place to another, who commenced, ' God bless your honor and long life

to your honor's jewel of a lady. It was a lucky day she made choice of your

honro, who is so good to the poor widows.' This, to use a cant phrase, was

'coming it too strong,' and the lady exclaimed, "Go away, you jade; I am not

married at all.' But, nothing daunted, the hag continued, 'Well, if not

married already, its soon you will be, for you're too good and sweet a lady

to let his honor be breaking his heart for you.' My small coin was

exhausted, and rather than stand such fire the lady gave the 'jade' a penny

herself, when we were spared further annoyance by the guard's 'all right' to

the coachman, the crack of whose whip dashed the hopes of half a score of

other 'widows' who were gathering for the onset.--Weed's Letters.

Ireland

State of the Provinces.- After a period of unexampled tranquility, the old

system of Agrarian crime is again spreading through the Southern Provinces.

The Limerick Clare, and Tipperary outrages on person and property are

becoming events of daily occurrence, and complaints are general of the

cessation of all employment, by reason of the termination of all harvest

labor, it is apprehended that this in conjunction with many other

circumstances, will lead to a season of more than average disquiet.

It gives us much satisfaction to state that an order has been received from

Goverment for the discharge of the American brig islam from the restraint

placed upon her last week. This was but an act of justice toward a people

who have done so much for the relief of Irish distress and the promptitude

with which the authorities have responded to the wishes of the inhabitants

reflects credit upon them. The joy-bells rung a merry peal in honor of the

occasion.--Galway Mercury.

Curtin and Fitzmaurice murder

The taking of testimony was resumed, and George Curtin gave the details of the murder of his father. After the murder the Curtin family were boycotted and their servants were compelled to leave their service. ■ Curtin testified that he was a member of the league when it was first organized. His father was vicepresident of a branch. Witness had no reason to believe that the league was implicated in the crimes • against hia . family. Various branches of the league had denounced the murder of his father. Norah Fitzmurice deposed that in June, 1887, a letter signed by a maa named Dowling, secretary of a branch of the league, was received by her father, requesting him to attend a meeting. Her father did not go. After thia the people's demeanor toward her father changed and he obtained police protection. The witness gave in detail facts in connection with the shooting oi her father while on his way to the Listowel Fair. Her father and uncle had disagreed respecting a farm on which her father resided, and the people sided with her uncle. She knew the League had been suppressed in the county of Kerry. Counsel for the Parnellites here read an article in the Kerry Sentinel condemning the murder of Fitzmurice and regretting that the League had been suppressed, and shaking of the beneficial effects which arose from tho organization.

Father Kirby Assumes Charge of the New St. Agnes Church.

Rev. Father Kirby has been appointed pastor of the new parish of St. Agnes by the Most Rev. Archbishop Riordan, and Rev. Father Wyman has been named superior of the Paulist community at old St. Mary's Church on California street to succeed the late Father Brady. Father Kirby preached his first sermon

at St. Agnes Church, which is a neat little edifice on Masonic street, near Page, at the high mass yesterday morning. The church was built as an outside mission to the Sacred Heart parish, and was under the jurisdiction of Rev. Father Flood. Father Kirby is a young man of zeal and talent. He was born at Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, on April 16, 1860. His early education was gained at Mount Mellery and at All Hallows. Later he attended the seminary of St. Sulpice in Paris. On the 17th of March, 1883, he was ordained by Bishop Higgins of Kerry, Ireland. He "came to San Francisco in the spring of 1883. His first appointment was as chaplain of St. Mary's College, from where he was transferred to Father King's church in Oakland. Later he served two years as assistant to Father Serda at Temescal. On September 2, 1885, he was appointed as assistant at the cathedral, where he has since resided. Of his family a brother is a priest, Rev. Thomas Kirby, at Mission Dolores, and two Sisters are members of the Presentation Order, Sister Augustine in Berkeley, and Sister de Sales in the Powell-street convent, this city.

FATHER KIRBY DIES AFTER A LONG ILLNESS

Rev. Father William P. Kirby. the beloved rector of St. Agnes parish. Masonic avenue and Page Street, passed peacefully away at his residence yesterday evening after an illness of two months. .At the time of his death he was still a young man. Father Kirby 'was born in Listowel. County Kerry, Ireland. April 15, 1860. He spent his boyhood days in his native town, which is near the famous Lakes of Killarney, and received his early education in the little parish school.

After finishing his "primary education Father Kjrby attended Mount Mellery Academy. When his course at that school was completed he was sent to All Hallows College, Dublin, where he graduated with honours and gained the distinction of being one of the, brightest pupils in his class. From there he went to the. noted college of St. Sulpice. Paris, to finish his education. When his course at that institution was completed Father Kirby returned to his native town, where he was ordained a priest on March ' 17, 1883. .

Shortly 'thereafter" he sailed for the United States and came direct to San Francisco. He was first assigned to old St. Mary's College on the Mission road. After remaining' there for several years he, was transferred to Oakland, acting as Father King's assistant for some time. From there he went to assist Father Serda in another Oakland parish. He was next assigned to St. Mary's Cathedral where he remained for a long time and became very popular with both the priests and parishioners. In 1895 the Archbishop, recognizing the ability of Father Kirby, placed him in charge of St. Agnes Church. From the time he, went, to the parish he made, his presence felt. He did much good in the vicinity of the park and was the most popular priest that ever had charge of the parish.

No arrangements have been made for the funeral. The body will lie in state at St. Agnes; Church to-day and all the of the city will gather around the bier and pay their last respects to the departed rector.

DECOYING IRISH GIRLS FOR PURPOSES OF PROSTITUTION
---
The system which has been pursued of hiring girls in the old country, and consigning them to parties here is about to be stopped, it having come to the knowledge of the agent that this is only a plan for decoying poor girls from their homes in Ireland for the worst of purposes. On Monday a person claiming to be a friend of two young girls who he said were consigned to him, was recognised as a notorious keeper of a house of ill-fame, and the girls were not permitted to leave Castle Garden.-New York Sun.

Mary Hurly, aged 23 years, a victim of leprosy, died in the County Infirmary Limerick, on Sunday last. This disease, it appears, she contracted by washing the clothes of some foreign sailors. The malady was malignant. In Ireland formerly every corporate city had its regal grants for a Leper Hospital-and the lands of the Limerick Leper House were very extensive. In Waterford the annual grants of land are still appropriated to the support of the medical institutions, even yet called "The Leper Hospital," and in that county, consequently, there is no county infirmary.

LIMERICK, JAN. 5.- On the night of the 26th ult. as John Shouldice, the Permanent-Serjeant of the Castleotway corps of yeomanry, was on his return from Nenagh, where he had been on some business connected with the Sessions, he was waylaid about the hour of eight o'clock in the evening, and within a quarter of a mile of his own dwelling, and fired at from behind an hedge with such accuracy of aim, that six slugs were lodged in his back. - In tracing back for any cause for this diabolical act of vengeance, we think that Shouldice was one of the persons who helped to defend Wallis's house - Limerick Chronicle
On Thursday night last, a large party of men armed and mounted, attacked and broke into the house of a respectable farmer named Mally, about two miles from Newport, and forcibly carried off his daughter, after abusing and beating the father and mother. She was thrown across a horse, held by two men, and carried to Gouge, near Castle-Connell, almost naked, her brother and some friends, who pursued were beaten off. The next day Mr. Robert Going, with a party of the army, made a close search for her without success, as she had been removed to some other place, but on Saturday evening the Rev. Mr. Crampton was so fortunate as to recover her, and bring her to his house where, from the ill treatment she received, she was obliged to remain till yesterday, when her sent her home with her father, escorted by a party of soldiers to a place of safety. Mr. Waller, of Castle-Waller, has used every effort to investigate this outrage, and having obtained information against some of the principals, we have no doubt from the activity of these Magistrates, they will ere long be brought to condign punishment.

Travelling between Holyhead, London, Cheltenham, &c. &c.
ROYAL HIBERNIA HOTEL, HOLYHEAD.
THOMAS MORAN, Proprietor.

RESPECTFULLY informs the Nobility and Gentry of the United Kingdom, and of his Native Land (Ireland) in particular, that he has established the above will all its necessary accommodations, upon principles which, while they have essentially served the Public, have secured to him the zealous Patronage of those who have once favoured his Hotel with a visit.
As by setting out upon the plan of such moderate charges as barely support his system of comfort, the excellence of his Larder and Cellar, as also his Public and Private Travelling accommodations, MORAN has already vanquished all the efforts of the previous Monopoly at this great Thoroughfare, and consequently done away with most of its injurious effects to the Public, as it effected both the Hotel and travelling departments; so be a steady adherence to such system - MORAN looks forward with respectful confidence to the only remuneration he aspires to, namely the small but steady profit arising from Public favour, and the reputation of his Hotel, Livery Stables, Posting accommodation and the Prince of Wales Light Post Chaise, which starts daily from his Hotel from 10 to 12 o'Clock, according to the arrival of the Irish Packet, and runs through the New Capel Cerrig Road, to Shrewsbury, (from whence certain conveyances start at all hours to every Town of note in the Kingdom,) Birmingham, Oxford, and London. As also the Hibernia Coach, to Cheltenham and Bath, three days a week, and is the only Coach direct from Holyhead to Cheltenham.
Note - The Saving to the Traveller caused by Moran's system, will be provided at the Bar and Coach Office, of the Royal Hibernia Hotel, which possesses another convenience, of much weight, where Ladies and Children are concerned, namely, his Hotel is near to the water-side, and the mooring of the Packets, and it also nearly adjoins the Custom House, where Moran personally attends, to get out the luggage of such Ladies and Gentleman, as may be fatigued, and unable to attend themselves.
Holyhead, Jan.4, 1817.

Dec 1810

On Wednesday night, the 21st instant, Messrs.Laffan and White, Acting Inspectors for the district of Ennis, left that town, accompanied by a party of the military, and proceeded to the neighbourhood of Schariff, where they detected five very extensive private distilleries, and after having destroyed an immense quantity of malt, pot-ale, singlings, and the utensils, returned to that town with the stills, heads, and worms, which they lodged in his Majesty's store; and also two men as prisoners, whom they surprised in one of the distilleries, and who are bound over by them before a Magistrate, to stand their trials at the next assizes for said county. The exertion of these officers in that county already, has had the most happy effects, by inducing a gentleman of respectability to take out license for a still of a large content in the town of Ennis, where there has not been one for many years. We sincerely hope that the Excise Officers throughout Ireland will now exert themselves to put down this baneful and abominable trade, which has so much tended to decrease the revenue of the country, the profits of the fair and honourable trader, and to contaminate the morals of the poor and innocent peasantry.

We have received the following account of a new outrage committed by those deluded men styling themselves Caravats :- The home of Mr.O'Ryan, of Ballycurkeen[?], was attacked on Sunday morning, about ten o'clock. Except Mrs.O'Ryan and one female servant, the remainder of the family were at Mass, and Mr.O'Ryan absent. The hall door being incautiously left open, three men, well armed, entered and proceeded directly to the parlour where Mrs.O'Ryan was, and threatened her with instant death if she made the least noise or resistance, and did not give up what fire-arms were in the house; she told them she did not know where they were, offering them at the same time the keys of the house to search for them, upon which they left the room, breaking open eight drawers, saying they would not lose time in trying to unlock them; they likewise forced open some desks and trunks. Whilst they were thus occupied, Mrs.Ryan went out of the house, and ran up the avenue, calling loudly for assistance, which, when the Caravats heard, they pursued her and forced her back, one of them holding his hand to her mouth to prevent her crying out; - they tore here clothes in forcing her back, swearing they would shoot her, which one of them was about to do, when prevented by another. They then searched the house more closely, when they found a case of pistols and some powder and ball, the rest of the arms having, a few days before, been sent to be repaired, which prevented them from falling into the hands of those ruffians. They went off in different directions; when going, they said they were from the county of Limerick, and that they would return again, as they knew there were more arms in the house.- Waterford Mirror.

On Tuesday last as three Valuators, accompanied by four Police men, were proceeding on some tithe business in the neighbourhood of Ardfinnan, the party was surrounded in the house of one Shee by a mob of upwards of fifteen villains with their faces blackened, and furnished with straw cravats, who murdered Arthur Mullowney, one of the Police men, by shooting him. It appears as if their vengeance was particularly directed against this man, it being upon his information that a fellow named Leamy is now confined in Conmel gaol upon a capital charge for firing at a Police man, at the time that Mr.Clutterbuck narrowly escaped being shot, in attempting to seize Leamy.- A person of the name of John Fennessy has been committed to Clonmel gaol, charged with being present, aiding and abetting at the above murder.

A few days since, two men armed entered an house in Carrick in the noon-day, and presenting a pistol at the head of two women, its only inhabitants, demanded the arms, threatening with the most vehement imprecations to put the women to death, in case of noise or resistance. The consequence is obvious; the only arms in the house, a carbine or firelock, they took off unmolested.

The Queen of France's Funeral.
London, Nov.27.

At nine o'clock yesterday morning, the service for the dead began at the Roman Catholic Chapel in Portman-square. The French Princes arrived at ten, the Foreign Ambassadors between eleven and twelve.
The coffin was placed in the middle of the chapel, covered with crimson velvet, and highly ornamented; in an escutcheon were the arms of France and Savoy, and the Crown of France was placed at the head; it was surrounded with 40 lighted tapers. At the head of the coffin stood the Duke d'Avery, as having the charge of the Crown; and near him Pere Elizee, Surgeon to her Majesty; at the foot next to the altar stood the Count de la Chatre, as Commissary of the King of France, and near him the Compte de Nantouillet, as Master of the Ceremonies. On the right on a row of raised seats were the French Princes, Monsieur the Duke D'Angouleme, the Duke de Berry, the Prince de Conde, and the Duke de Bourbon; and below them their respective officers. Mr.De Broval, we suppose, as representing the Duke of Orleans, sat on the left of the Princes. On the left of the coffin, and opposite to the French Princes, was another row of seats for the Foreign Ambassadors. Below them were the great dignitaries of the ancient French military and chivalric orders.
The service was performed by Mr.Dalbignac, Bishop of Angouleme; there were also present Mr.Talleyrand; Archbishop of Rheims, the Bishops of Sisteron, Digne, Nantes, Tarbes, Rhodez, Aire, Usez, Blois, and Montpelier.
The cards of admission for the abbey were simply for the "funeral of the Countess De Lille" and we cannot sufficiently praise the nice sense of propriety which dictated that distinction. From the Chapel to the hearse the coffin was borne by twelve Knights of St.Louis, and the pall supported by four Dames d'Honneur. The procession then began in the following order :

Thirteen men on horseback; a mute with feathers on horseback; a coach and six with the four Dames d'Honneurs - Mesdames la Duchesse de Pienne, la Duchesse de Coigny, la Comtesse de Naronne, and la Comtesse de Mesnard.
Another coach and six, with persons of the household.
Gardes du Corps of foot, headed by one of their Officers.
A mourner on a fully caparisoned horse, carrying on a cushion the Crown of France, covered with black crape.
The hearse drawn by six beautiful horses, and adorned with a profusion of plumes.

In the Chapel, the same ceremonial was observed as at St.Denis, and the cards of admission were for "The Funeral of the Queen of France."
Then followed the French Princes in mourning coaches and six, followed by the principal French Nobility.
After the mourning coaches, came that of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, drawn by six horses, and conducted by his Highness's state coachman, with three footmen and two pages; the coaches of all the Royal Dukes followed, according to their seniority; as also two coaches and six of the Marquis of Buckingham; those of the Marquis of Wellesley, of Mr.Perceval, and all the Ministers : those of the Foreign Ambassadors, and several English Noblemen and Gentlemen.
The Dean of Westminster, at the head of the Chapter, received the body at the entrance of the Church, the avenues and the aisles being guarded and lined by the battalion of Volunteers of St.John and St.Margaret's, commanded by Major Jones.- A requiem was sung by the full Choir, accompanied by the organ; and after the ceremony, the remains of the Princess were deposited in the same vault with those of the Duke of Montpensier, on the south-west side of King Henry VII's Chapel.

DIED.- At Cloney, near Newtownlimavady, on the 17th instant, Mr. Wm. Haslett, aged 75. - At Cork, Capt. Wm. Barry; he had served for nearly half a century with honour and reputation, first in the Saxon, afterwards in the Prussian, and finally in the British Army.- Mrs. Hodnett, relict of the Rev. Wm. Hodnett, of Carrymore, at the advanced age of 78 years.

We mention with sincere regret the death on the 7th inst of Jas. Beresford, Esq. the fifth son of the late Right Hon. John Beresford : he was a Midshipman on board the Phoenix, and while loosing the top-gallant-sail in chase of a Spanish frigate, he was unfortunately shaken off the yard by a heavy sea that struck the ship.
The Lord Chancellor Ponsonby continued his sittings in the Court of Chancery every day since the expiration of the late Michaelmas Term, until Wednesday last.

The Magistrates of Limerick have publicly stated that an unusual number of Foreigners and other Strangers had of late sojourned in that city and its liberties, some of whom there was reason to suspect of misleading many, by inciting them to attend those nightly meetings which have disturbed the peace of the country, and accordingly required all such Foreigners, &c. to appear before one of them, to satisfy them of their object in repairing to that city, or else they would be arrested.
The London Gazette of Tuesday contains an order of Council for continuing the bounties granted for the encouragement of seamen and landmen to enter into the Royal Navy, from the 31st of December, 1806, to the 31st December, 1807, with the exception that the rewards to persons procuring seamen and landmen are reduced as follows :- for each, Able Seaman three guineas; for each Ordinary Seaman, two guineas; and for each Landman, one guinea; together with the same allowance for travelling expences as before.

LIMERICK, JAN. 5.- On the night of the 26th ult. as John Shouldice, the Permanent-Serjeant of the Castleotway corps of yeomanry, was on his return from Nenagh, where he had been on some business connected with the Sessions, he was waylaid about the hour of eight o'clock in the evening, and within a quarter of a mile of his own dwelling, and fired at from behind an hedge with such accuracy of aim, that six slugs were lodged in his back. - In tracing back for any cause for this diabolical act of vengeance, we think that Shouldice was one of the persons who helped to defend Wallis's house - Limerick Chronicle
On Thursday night last, a large party of men armed and mounted, attacked and broke into the house of a respectable farmer named Mally, about two miles from Newport, and forcibly carried off his daughter, after abusing and beating the father and mother. She was thrown across a horse, held by two men, and carried to Gouge, near Castle-Connell, almost naked, her brother and some friends, who pursued were beaten off. The next day Mr. Robert Going, with a party of the army, made a close search for her without success, as she had been removed to some other place, but on Saturday evening the Rev. Mr. Crampton was so fortunate as to recover her, and bring her to his house where, from the ill treatment she received, she was obliged to remain till yesterday, when her sent her home with her father, escorted by a party of soldiers to a place of safety. Mr. Waller, of Castle-Waller, has used every effort to investigate this outrage, and having obtained information against some of the principals, we have no doubt from the activity of these Magistrates, they will ere long be brought to condign punishment.

Travelling between Holyhead, London, Cheltenham, &c. &c.
ROYAL HIBERNIA HOTEL, HOLYHEAD.
THOMAS MORAN, Proprietor.

RESPECTFULLY informs the Nobility and Gentry of the United Kingdom, and of his Native Land (Ireland) in particular, that he has established the above will all its necessary accommodations, upon principles which, while they have essentially served the Public, have secured to him the zealous Patronage of those who have once favoured his Hotel with a visit.
As by setting out upon the plan of such moderate charges as barely support his system of comfort, the excellence of his Larder and Cellar, as also his Public and Private Travelling accommodations, MORAN has already vanquished all the efforts of the previous Monopoly at this great Thoroughfare, and consequently done away with most of its injurious effects to the Public, as it effected both the Hotel and travelling departments; so be a steady adherence to such system - MORAN looks forward with respectful confidence to the only remuneration he aspires to, namely the small but steady profit arising from Public favour, and the reputation of his Hotel, Livery Stables, Posting accommodation and the Prince of Wales Light Post Chaise, which starts daily from his Hotel from 10 to 12 o'Clock, according to the arrival of the Irish Packet, and runs through the New Capel Cerrig Road, to Shrewsbury, (from whence certain conveyances start at all hours to every Town of note in the Kingdom,) Birmingham, Oxford, and London. As also the Hibernia Coach, to Cheltenham and Bath, three days a week, and is the only Coach direct from Holyhead to Cheltenham.
Note - The Saving to the Traveller caused by Moran's system, will be provided at the Bar and Coach Office, of the Royal Hibernia Hotel, which possesses another convenience, of much weight, where Ladies and Children are concerned, namely, his Hotel is near to the water-side, and the mooring of the Packets, and it also nearly adjoins the Custom House, where Moran personally attends, to get out the luggage of such Ladies and Gentleman, as may be fatigued, and unable to attend themselves.
Holyhead, Jan.4, 1817.

Dec 1810

On Wednesday night, the 21st instant, Messrs.Laffan and White, Acting Inspectors for the district of Ennis, left that town, accompanied by a party of the military, and proceeded to the neighbourhood of Schariff, where they detected five very extensive private distilleries, and after having destroyed an immense quantity of malt, pot-ale, singlings, and the utensils, returned to that town with the stills, heads, and worms, which they lodged in his Majesty's store; and also two men as prisoners, whom they surprised in one of the distilleries, and who are bound over by them before a Magistrate, to stand their trials at the next assizes for said county. The exertion of these officers in that county already, has had the most happy effects, by inducing a gentleman of respectability to take out license for a still of a large content in the town of Ennis, where there has not been one for many years. We sincerely hope that the Excise Officers throughout Ireland will now exert themselves to put down this baneful and abominable trade, which has so much tended to decrease the revenue of the country, the profits of the fair and honourable trader, and to contaminate the morals of the poor and innocent peasantry.

We have received the following account of a new outrage committed by those deluded men styling themselves Caravats :- The home of Mr.O'Ryan, of Ballycurkeen[?], was attacked on Sunday morning, about ten o'clock. Except Mrs.O'Ryan and one female servant, the remainder of the family were at Mass, and Mr.O'Ryan absent. The hall door being incautiously left open, three men, well armed, entered and proceeded directly to the parlour where Mrs.O'Ryan was, and threatened her with instant death if she made the least noise or resistance, and did not give up what fire-arms were in the house; she told them she did not know where they were, offering them at the same time the keys of the house to search for them, upon which they left the room, breaking open eight drawers, saying they would not lose time in trying to unlock them; they likewise forced open some desks and trunks. Whilst they were thus occupied, Mrs.Ryan went out of the house, and ran up the avenue, calling loudly for assistance, which, when the Caravats heard, they pursued her and forced her back, one of them holding his hand to her mouth to prevent her crying out; - they tore here clothes in forcing her back, swearing they would shoot her, which one of them was about to do, when prevented by another. They then searched the house more closely, when they found a case of pistols and some powder and ball, the rest of the arms having, a few days before, been sent to be repaired, which prevented them from falling into the hands of those ruffians. They went off in different directions; when going, they said they were from the county of Limerick, and that they would return again, as they knew there were more arms in the house.- Waterford Mirror.

On Tuesday last as three Valuators, accompanied by four Police men, were proceeding on some tithe business in the neighbourhood of Ardfinnan, the party was surrounded in the house of one Shee by a mob of upwards of fifteen villains with their faces blackened, and furnished with straw cravats, who murdered Arthur Mullowney, one of the Police men, by shooting him. It appears as if their vengeance was particularly directed against this man, it being upon his information that a fellow named Leamy is now confined in Conmel gaol upon a capital charge for firing at a Police man, at the time that Mr.Clutterbuck narrowly escaped being shot, in attempting to seize Leamy.- A person of the name of John Fennessy has been committed to Clonmel gaol, charged with being present, aiding and abetting at the above murder.

A few days since, two men armed entered an house in Carrick in the noon-day, and presenting a pistol at the head of two women, its only inhabitants, demanded the arms, threatening with the most vehement imprecations to put the women to death, in case of noise or resistance. The consequence is obvious; the only arms in the house, a carbine or firelock, they took off unmolested.

The Queen of France's Funeral.
