PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE
Limerick-Feb 12-The houses of William MAUNSELL, Esq, Mr. Edmond PALMER, and
Mr. M'CARTHY, in the North Liberties of this City, were attacked last night
by large bodies of ruffians, who succeeded in taking fire-arms from each
place.

On Sunday night last, Major MAXWELL, accompanied by Captain M'LOUGHLIN, a
party of the 57th regiment, and some of Major CARTER's Police, apprehended
eight fellows, in the counties of Cork and Limerick, on good information,
concerned in several outrages in both counties-buring corn, hay, and
attacking houses. One of the same gang (Daniel CONNELL) was committed to
Cork jail, by Major MAXWELL, some time since.

About a fortnight ago, a fine wether [transcriber note-definition: a male
sheep castrated before sexual maturity] was killed on the lands of
Ulla-hills, the property of Mr. R. RYAN. On Monday night, a fine ewe, the
property of the same gentleman, shared a like fate.

On Sunday night last, at twelve o'clock, two fellows entered the Charter
school-house, near Charleville, while Mr. SHERLOCK and the children were at
church, and one of them having kept some young ladies prisoner in the
parlour, the other, armed with a pistol, searched the house for arms,and
finding none, retired.

Abbeyfeale is appointed to be a Post-town.-Mr. David LEAHY if the
Postmaster. This measure will be of considerable benefit to an extensive
range of country, which heretofore lay remote from the very great
convenience of a Post-office.

On Tuesday night a gun and sword were taken from the house of Mr. WALNUT, at
the Limekilns, at Altamira, near this city.
