It is stated in the Irish newspapers, that at the sessions under the " Insurrection Act." for the county and city of Limerick, which stand adjourned to the 3d of Janmary. there is-not a single person for trial under that act, in either county or city gaol? In the cotnty or city of Limerick- not one prieoner to be tried under the Insurrection Act! Hear'this, Mr. SAURIt, and ye eaters of beef-steaks, and my Lord CLANCARTY and Co. " Where be your insur. ' rections now?" Where thie rallying point for your Orange xegiments ? Where your prophecies of Pastorini ? Christmas-eve, of the year 1824, was fixed, you know, for the commencement of the famous Popish massacre. The solitary fact, above related, of tranquillity reigning throughout the county of Limerick-the grand focus of re- &liaa hefore Mhr. SURWN wAS dismissed-speaks a lan. guage not to 'oe misunderstoodor perverted. One of the journals mentions a report, that Sir HARCoURT LEES is reserved for a bonne bouche by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL-if Mr. O'C0rNELL should not previously have proved too hard of digestion, and spoiled the Right Honourable Gentleman's stomach. A prosecution of Sir HARCcoURT LEzs carries burlesque upon the face of it: yet if this mncreurial parson should have really found any portion of his countrymen so mueh farther gone astray than himself, as to be actually under the influence of his ravings, a public trial, and a conscientious guardian, appointed by the proper authority to take care of him, may help to keep the honest fanatic from doing or suffering harm. As an addendum to the evidence efrestoreti subordination throughout Munster, we would point out to the attention above all of the Irish Government itself, the speech of that great statesman Sir GEORGE HILL, delivered at Derry, on the Apprentice-boy Anniversary of the shutting of the gates last Saturday ne'nnight. This raan is Vice. Treasurer of Ireland. Verily, the most knowing 'prentice that evar wore apron, or swvept shop, could not have excelled the sage Baronet on that occasion. Of all the topics of alarm that had been rung from Lough Swilly to Cape Clear since 1689, not one, no, nor half a one, save only that of a Popish Pretender, was omitted by the Ring's Vice-Treskurer; bitt to componsate for that one omission, we had the "Popish Parliamant" th6 tremendous " prophecies." Oh, ye Gods! the Pastorini-prophecies from a member of Parliament and of the Government! And this to frighten an Orange mob, and to secure their votes for another election. Why does not Sir GEORGE HILL, too, come upon Ministers with his proposD to raise a No- Popery regiment? " Sure enough" (as his countrymen say), thore is precedent f'or s9 generous an offer. If we were given to blushing, we might change colotur at such dirty sights._
