Local notices recount mail theft near Carrick and a Dublin Mail-Coach stop.

Cases include forgery, arrests in Thomond Gate, and forged notes tied to a broader gang.
A Belfast Magazine excerpt from December 30, 1814, discusses deistical sermons and pamphlets circulated by political dissenters. It notes clergy and laypeople in London and Belfast promoting atheistic ideas, with subscribers to controversial tracts and impious verses seized on by authorities. The piece laments growing notoriety of these views in Christian circles and mentions parliamentary interest in suppressing such materials.
A copy of Admiralty letters, dated Dec 24 1814, reports Vice Admiral Sawyer informing the Lord Mayor of Dublin that a convoy under his Majesty's ship Meander will not sail before early next month due to wind and delays.
