Saturday night laft a meft horrid murder was committed on the body of Mr. Robert Meachum, of Athlone, on the high road, fea fing from Kiltonnel to Ballinafice, where he was found, early the next morning, in a ditch, with his full fractured, and feveral marks of violence, his pockets rifled and turned out. On information being brought to Ballin floe, a party of Volunteers affembled and went in parfuit of the perpetrators, and leized one Simon Coftello and William Fallen, who live on the lands of Killure, within two miles of the place where the murder was committed, and who, from every circum flance and information, it appears, were the perpetrators of the horrid deed. They were immediately taken into cuftody, and kept vader a frong guard till Monday, when a very relpectable jay was fummoned and an inquest held, and every evidence moft ruinutely worn and examined, and in the prefence of every one prefent it fully and clearly appeared the two abwe named perfons were guilty; after which they were taken into close confinement, guarded by a 'party of the Ballinafloe horse, from hence to Calway, there to remain till the caluing affizes for The Congrefs, by à refolve dated the 23d of November, have granted the marquis de la Fayette permission to go to France, and return at fuch time as may be moft convenient to him. Feb. 6. being appointed for the corporation of cutters, painters-ftainers and fationers, or Teild of St. Luke, to meet at the Music hall in Fhamble-Street, in order to nominate a proper perfon to represent this city in parliament; the greater part of the corporation accordingly affembled, together with the three candidates, amely, Travers Hartley, Efq; Alderman War. ten and Counsellor Pemberton, and many others the came to hear the debates, amounting in the whole to about 300. The circumitances of that dreadful day, were mo awful and melancholy; it was a day, big with forrow, lamentation and woe to many individuals, and likewife to many families in this ty. It is impoffible for any pen fully to de. Icribe it, nor can any properly conceive its hor rors, but those who were immediately concerned in it. However, from the authority of a perfon who fhared in the calamity, we have been enabled to give the following faint defcription. After each perfon had taken his proper place, in a large room, called the Grove Room which was above 20 feet high from the ground, and a general filence pervading the whole affembly, Mr. Hartley rofe, and made an honeft, well connected speech; after which, many of the people in higns of applaufe, clapped their hands, and ftamped their feet a confiderable time against the floor. When filence had again taken place, the Alderman role, and made another speech; after which, there was another burft of applaufe of the lame nature, but more general, and of longer continuance, which thook the room, and greatly contributed to the fad cataftr phe that foon after enfued. The next that role was Counsellor Pemberton, who began to proceed in a pleasing manner, when lo! in a moment! (O how uncertain, is this life!) the whole affembly difappeared! The main beam, which was rotten, breke clefa by the wall; the floor, like a tremendous earthquake, opened beneath them, and they that feemed to be in peace and fafety, funk in the twinkling of an eye! But who can defcribe the hor id fcene below? They were immediately in veloped in fuch a cloed of duft, that thick darknefs was their portion for fome time; thofe that were unfortunate enough to lie under the total weight, could not poffibly help themselves, while thole that were fo favoured by Providence as to lie above them, were filled with the most alarming apprehenfions, expecting, every moment, that the roof, or fome other part of the building would fall upon them, and crush them to pieces, nor could they fee any way to escape. Nothing was heard but difmal cries and groans, enough to make the heart of the moft obdurate bleed. When this cloud of darkness was difperfed, what a scene prefented itself to their view! Some that were buried in the ruins, up to the neck, were fretching forth their hands, and grasping at the fift object that appeared, crying at the fame time, with all their might, to thole above thern, for help. Here were feen faces covered with blood; arms and legs broken; scolls fractured; bodies bruited, and the crimfon current flowing on every hand! a spectacle too fhocking to en large upon. He e all diftinction was laid afide; the rich and poor fuck together in one promifcuous heap. The men of wealth and honor, were conftrained to cry to the poor and mean for affiftance in this time of need. O what is wealth, or what is honour, when the mighty God lays his hand upon us? Many refpectable citizens were brought home on doors, deprived of their fenfes and the use of their limbs, and numbers in fedans, in the fame condition, carrying with them diftrefs and milery to their refpe&ive abodes. Nine perfons have already died of their compound fractures: others it is feared will foon follow them, while fome that may survive, will exhibit melancholy monuments, to perpetuate the memory of this dreadful event, by the lofs of their lege or arms. The The following is a lift of the perfons hinted to in the foregoing account, that have died of their wounds: Mr. Taylor, of High-flreet; Mr. Deey, Attorney; Mr. Byrne, cutler; Mr. Mc. Ma. hon, of Abbey ttreet; Mr. Pemberton, of Capelftreet; Mr. Johnton, of Cutpurie-row; Mr., Shaw, of Effex bridge; Mr. Scot, of Joleph's lane, and Mr. Deb on, of Capel-street. In the midst of the mirth at the Ball in the Grove Room of the Mulick Hall in Fithambleftreet, the night preceding the above unhappy catastrophe, the afferably were fo much alarmed, by the frequent cracking and giving way of the flooring, &c. that leveral of the company and part of the mufic, through apprehenfions of what might happen, very prudently quitted the building and went home:-It is therefore the more amazing, after fuch repeated frokes of the interpofition of Providence, that next morning a review was not taken, and props erected, which would effectually prevent all the calamity that befel that day:To whom to impute to fhock. ing a neglect and indifference, we know not, but cannot fuppole the paltry confideration of faving a few thillings, could have induced the proprietor or proprietors of the edifice, to rifque another owd on fo tremendous a piece of destruction. 11. At night, Sherifi Campbell, at tended by a party of St. Mary and St. Thomas's affociations, went in queft of Mulhall, and on Tuesday at four o'clock, took him in a house in Lower Abbey ftreet, with two charged piftols, ready to fire at the sheriff: there was found on him 18361. in bank notes. And on Tuesday night, the fame party of the affociation took nother of the fame gang in Mabbot-ftreet, and Lodged him in the New Goal. Fleming, one of the above gang, was Gace taken by a party of the Highlanders, and Todged in the New Goal. The piratical captain Kelly, confined for fome time paft in Newgate, attempted a few days nce, with others of his adociates, to make an elcape. By means of inftruments conveyed to them they had fawed off their irons; but being timely discovered, they were properly fe cured.
