Yritthsoß, - ocroßkk This being the clay fet apart by the Mayor for eclebrAting the Ratification of the Preliminaries of p ea ce, the morning was ufltereci in by the ringing o f bells moll merrily ; tepeated firing of guns alfo ferved to Annortnce the joyful occafion, and all ranks of people noticed the anfpicious event by wearing of laurel ; many of the houfes in the town Were dreffed with the faire emblematical Repie tentative of Petite, and happinefs beamed in the countenances of the inhabitants of every defcription. At noon, the Windfor Loyal Infantry Airocia tion, decorated wiih laurel, and their colours, marched from their place of parade in the Cattle, to the High-ftreet, where they fired three very ex. cellent vollies, in commemoration of the happy re lioration of Peace. A moft excellent 'dinner was fervea up in the Town Hall, to near two hundred of the inhabi tants ; Mr. PAUL Pit "LYMAN, the Mayor, prefid ing, whole excellent conduit in the chair, merits the warmed encomiums: by hi% example, the fpirit of the meeting-was fupported with its melt zeft, whilft the utmoft harmony and decorum continued prevatent to a late hour. 'rhe company were much enlivened by the band of the Stafford Militia, which played the aloft popular airs for fome hours ; and Loafs and loyal tongs went round the jovial board without alloy. The illuminations in tie evening were very his 44 even the poore ft inhabitant (ported his 44 Farthing Rufhlight," as a teftimonial of his joy tie houfes of the greater part of the principal in habitants, were taftefully lighted up with variegat. ed lamps, in apprdptiate devices, and many good tranfparencies *ere exhibited with pleating effeEt. Fireworks, of various defcriptions, kept the popu- lace in good humour during the evening, and the • tA hole celebration &lilted with the higheft pleafure and decorum. The illuminations in the Metropolis laft night were very partial, and mdftly confined to the Eaft end of the town and the Coffee hoiafes. A Glazier in Shoreditch was the firft who hitch. ea M. ro's name into a rhyme; on his tranfpa rency Were there lines:- - Let's drink their health, by way of motto; Here's to Lord HAIVICiSII7XT and menace, OTTO! At t approve the Peace in toto, May he that breaks It ark, be that-0. 4 The following melancholy circumftance occur red on Saturday evening laft, during the public re joicings:a—as Mils &tract, of Newington Butts, was (landing at the door of her mother's boufe, in ionverfation with a Gentleman who pays his re fpeds to her, a Rani of lightning fuddenly came, and difcharged a piftol he held in his hand into the (ace and eyes of the young Lady, who, we are forry to fay, is dreadfully'disfigured by the acci dent, and great apprehenfions are entertained for the recovery of her fight. On the late illumination in Dublin feveral ugly accidents occurred in confequence of playing off fquibs, crackers, Ate.—:and among the many, we are concerned to Rate that Mr. Turner, agent for uaifports, was thrown from his hotfe, and his EL is now defpaired of ; a fquib was thrown into a coach full of ladies, and it was only by great ex ertions, and more collated condud than is ufual on fuch occafons, that Come, if not all of them, were preferred From being burned to death ; a young man, in Dame-greet, had a fquib or cracker thrown into his coat pocket, which fet it on fire, and the flames communicated fo rapidly to the ref of his clothes, that they were obliged to be torn, and cut piecemeal from his body, and tho' his life was thus preferred, it Was not poflible to prevent his being very much (combed ; a gentle• man's (errant was thrown from his boric in Graf ton greet, and had a leg broken. Monday laft was the time appointed by the Mayor of Yarmouth for a general illumination, which at the beginning was attended with no dif• turbancc till about half pall eight o'clock, when the mob began to (hew a difpofition for mifchlef and rioting, by breaking the windows of fuch houfes as were not illuminated. They began with the houfe of Mr. Jofeph Hunton, linen-draper, whole windon s they completely demoliftied ; from thence to Mr. James Rurubelow's, corn-chandler, 'here they broke the windows, frames, and (flut ters, and left the hook in a moll (battered (late ; and then proceeded to Mr. W. Sewell's, Mr. Jo kph Ainge's, and molt of the Quakers, where they broke the windows before any conflable or peace-officer appeared; and at one time it was thought that the tumult would not be eafily quell ed. But after the Mayor, Deputy-Mayor, and many more of the gentlemen of the town, affern bled in a body, the mob difperfed ; fix or fevers of the molt ;alive were taken into cultody for the niht, and next morning were feparatrly exa mined ; when fume were committed to Bridewell, and the others bound over to the Seffions. As dire lvvastom, with her innumerable dread concomitants, may hereafter menace a defccnt upon our coafis, every Loyal heart mull feel a 7,r tteful impreflion on being informed of ANY in whieh may greatly tend to fruftrAte the machinations of a lubtile enemy. We have the pleafure to apprife our Readers, that fveh an inven tion has recently been deviled ; which is likely to be of the higheft utility to the army and navy, at this, and every criticaliunflure.—For particulars, fee the Advcrtifement in the &II page of this pa per, under the head Civu YD K Y STUN SYSTE M. A Court of Aldermen was held yelterday at Guildhall, at which were prefent the Lord Mayor, Lord Mayor Elelt, is Aldermen, Mr. Recorder, and the new,Bheri6'a. The Court, after examining the Mealweigher's Retorted, and it appearing that there was very Et -:e variation in the price of Flour, ordered the }'•read to continue at is. td. CORN kARKif. At the Corn-market this morning at Mark-lane, the fupply of Engin Wheats was rather fcanty, and the prices the fame as on Monday. Foreign had an advance of as. to 3s. Flour and other articles were at Monday's prices. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. MAILS THIS DAY.- WIND S. ARRIVED. s Dublin, O. 9, 16, s Waterford, Oft. 8, 9: Doonagttadee, Oft. to, YARMOUTH. OCTOBER 13.

A feminary of /Vida is reported to exia in St. George's-Belds, timilar to thde which have re. cently been tottered in Rome, Berlin, and Munich. What effect this new inttitution may have on the religion, or policy of England, is the Wines of our rulers aridly to enquire. In the early part of the year 1763, the Lieute nants of the Royal Navy made the following pro pofition to the Lords of the Admiralty, far the purpofe of making provifion for about 20,000 feamen, who were to be difcharged, in confequence of the peace which had then recently taken place : —That all the King's frigates, armed "(hips, dtc. which could be properly converted to the purpofe, thould be employed in the Whale Filkery at Green land and Davis's Straits, to the number of zso fail, making t 25,000 tons of (hipping, manned with 17,500 feamen, and isoo non-commiflioned offi cers. From an ellimate made at the time of the gains made by the Dutch in this Fi(hery, it ap peared, that after all the charges, including wear and tear of the fhips employed, there would be a profit of ioo,oool. yearly, b etides eftabliffiing a nurfery for frame's. Employing feamen in the Government's pay in this branch, would be lefs injurious to the merchants than employing them in any other, becaufe the Ihips in the Greenland Fithery are obliged to carry three times the num ber of hands required in coafking %vials of equal burden, ancrat the period above-mentioned, more than soon had never becaerapinyed in the Fakery any one fealon.

The Duke of ORLEANS and the Count of BEAU jowls arrived at Edinburgh, on Friday fe'nnight. Several Englifh Gentlemen of dillineion attend ed the Ruffian Court to Mofcow to the coronation, which took place on the 22d ult. Among thefe were Lord GRANTNAM, accompanied by Mr. Ross, the Hon.

Count Cossossno, who has been reprefented as difgraced in force of the continental prints, is ap pointed to the chief management of the Aulltian Government in the provinces of Italy. The Perthfhire Huni, which met laft week, was very numeroufly attended. His Grace the Duke of ATHoLL, Earl of KINNOVL, with the two French Princes, funs of the late Duke of ORLEANS, and all the principal Nobility and Gentry of the county were prefent. THCATig, Covea7=3AßDEN.—Monday night Mrs H. SIDDONS appeared at the above theatre as Hamill, in the tragedy of that name, and Acquitted himfelf much to the fatisfaCtion of not a very nu merous, but an apparently Judicious audience. We think, notwithftanding, the undertaking of fuch a part rather too arduous for fo young a man. His manner of playing the charader is not fo much that of his uncle altogether as might be expeded from the education he has received, and the fimi larity there is betwixt the voices of the two per formers : in the principal pairages, however, the junior has evidently nuttiest the fenior ; but he fails of giving them with full effect. In his interviews with Othefia, he alually avoids fome of the faults of his original, while in other fcenes lie fervilely copies them ; but upon the whole we mud pro nounce his performance highly refpeElable for fo juvenile an ador. Mr. SIDUONS has a family weak nefs of voice, which is alto extremely monotonous. There was no other change in the call of the piece, and we have already dated Sur opinion of the ellablifhed reprefentatives of the different elm rafters. We would jolt obferve, that the lad fcene was more decently condueted than we have generally feen it. The King and overa for the molt part are on their thrones or eh . ' - airs of ftate. The awkward effect of this mull hai-e been re marked by all. After Mils CIAPMA% begin lift night to feel the effeets of the poifon, the delcended the fleps, Itretched herfelf upon them at length,and found full room to expire with grace ; and Lis Majefty having run down to give her alliitance her lack moments, receives the punifhment due to his crimes, while he is kneeling by her fide. The entertainments concluded at Drury-Lane Theatre, in the misfit of the dorm on Saturday night, which produced the greatelt contlernation in the coffee-rooms and lobbies. Several ladies fainted. Half•a.guinea was given to a hackney coach for a fhilling fare, and even at that price it was difficult to obtain a conveyance. Mrs. Horan's, whore death has lately been mentioned in this paper, was long known to the public as an altrefa at Drury• Lane Theatre.—She had reached her loth year, and enjoyed a very good (late of health till a few months before fhc paid the common debt to nature. DUBLIN, OCT: . It was announced in general ord,:rS on Saturday' lan, that Lieut. Colonel SANK rY. of the Royal City of Dublin Militia, was difruilled the fervice in confeciiience of what appeared before the Court Martial On his profecution of Capt. GI El AM) of the fame regiment. Saturday, a party of the Lower Talbotllown Yeomanry (rented, and efeorted into Illaingtown the notorious gabl breaker Copt. 11uz6ps, and two of his defperate alrociates. They were all three well armed, and in poll:Al - ion of a !ude near the Earl of MILTOW at Rulborough. Yellerday an offender was brought to town from the Queen': county, named Davis, one of the pri loners, who lately efcaped from Kilmainham gaol. The fame day were brought into town by a par ty of the Talbotilown Yeomanry Cavalry, lama Hughes, the noted mail robber, and yobs .11 , Cullers, who lately efcaped from Kilm.ouliam gaol, and an offender who calls himfell Delany. Oct. R.—The banditti who have lately commit. ted fevetal• defperate atrocities in the neighbour hood of Churehßown, hnve created great alarm: They are fail to be above 16 in number ; Come of them were dreffed in women's clothes. Moll of them, we hear, are known to the inhabitants, but they are afraid to mention their names. Striet (earth is making after thofe defperadoes, and we have no doubt but their predatory career will be of as Ihort duration as that of many of thole who have been recently executed. O 1 Friday at night fall, a very numerous ban ditti rufhed into the village of Dundrum, three smiles from Dublin; they fixed fentries at the doors of feveral houfes, while fele& bands of eight or ten entered other houfes and robbed the inhabi tants. 'ln this manner, Barret, a farmer, who alfo keeps a public-houfc, was robbed of i 3ol.his watch, and fame valuables. Millet, a perfon who keeps jaunting cars and an ale-houfe, of 61. and upwards. Rinkle, a fanner, of his half year's rent, which he made up to pay his landlord. Several perfons attempted with fuch weapons as came to hand, to nal out and repel this dreadful banditti—but the robbers, svho fired repeatedly, were too numerous to be encountered, and carried off their booty at cafe. Four of them, however, have fence been apprehended by the adivity of Major SIR R. A Privy Council was held at the Caale on Tuefday lall, by his Excellency the Loan LIE u- Timm. Betides other bufinefs tranfa6led, a proclamation was ordered, offering a reward of two hundred Founds for each of the villains who were concerned in cutting and maiming John Clark, a private in the Tyrone Militia, on Monday morning the 11 ft of September l.tll, between one and two o'clock, as he was on duty as a centinel at the Grand Canal bridge, upon the road leading to Rathmincs The favage manner in which the bare tranric was perpetrated, was thus : one of them fuddenly came behind the poor man, and threw him down on his face, and held him by the neck, while the other cut the back finews of his right leg. Monday, the great cattle fair of Ballinafroe corn . menced, but if the pacific intelligence reached it in time, the graziers mutt have experienced a molt ttnexpeeted and diragrceable reverie to their expeCtations of profit.—§evcral exprelles were dif patched from this city on Sunday to initruet the buyers in the change of affairs, and if they did not travel with fufficient fpeed, they will have reached their friends only dote enough, probably, to mew nounce to many of them their ruin.

Yefferday, the Commigioncrs for improving the Harbour of Dublin, defied and appointed Capt. THOMAS PHE►OE, lately in the Oporto Trade, to be Haven-mafter of this Port, iu the room of Jotim Ewiso, Efq. deetafed. A few nights ago, Mt. S. Gardiner, attorney, of Jarnes's-lireet, having had orcafton to pals by the Grand Canal harbour, unhappily milf,.d his fdl in and was drowned. On the night of the ph in(t, the home of Mr. Roche, in Ras, was broke open by a number of ruffians, who, after 11 tying knocked down Mr. R. robbed him of bank•note,, Chop rods, and wear ing apparel, to the amount of more titan 33.31. A letter from Ennikorthy. dated Serernher 10, lays: " On Monday night l.tlt, about nine ,:clock, this neighbourhood was awfully threatened by thunder and lii;htning.
