MR. SECRETARY CAWING. DUBLIN,II I RIMBER 4a. The Orange party in this city have become extremely uneasy in consequence of the secrecy observed at the Castle as to the seal object of Mr. Secretary CANNING'S Visit. They affect to be quite indifferent upon the sub ject, and assume an air of confidence in their own strength, with which, however, they are quite unable to veil the serious alarm that has seized their minds. Mr. Secretary CANNING, however, adheres strictly to the resolution he expressed upon his landing on the Irish shore, not to receive addresses from any (lacer. He , was this morning, present at a review of the garrison (consisting of four regiments of infantry, two of cavalry, and a brigade of artillery) in thePlicenix Park. He was accompanied by the LoED LIEUTENANT, Lord HOWARD de WALDEN, and one or two other friend , . They were reviewed by Sir COLQUHOUN GRANT, Commander of the Garrison, Lord CONIDERM ER E, Commander of the Forces, not having yet returned to town. Immediately after the review, Mr. Secretary CAN NING returned with his party to the Vice. Regal Lodge, where a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce arrived shortly afterwards, for the purpose of present. ing an . address voted to him by that body, compli menting him upon the liberality of his commercial policy, and expressing a hope that he would support the mercantile interests, and promote :he commercial prosperity of this city. The Chamber of Commerce here is by no means a political body : nevertheless, Mr. Secretary CANNING had himself denied to the Gentle men who composed the deputation; they, however, left their address and their can ds, and they expect to 7e ceive an answer to it to-morrow, as it was penned in a way that renders it, they think, quite ii possible for the Right Honourable Gentleman to decline replying to it. He intends coming into town to-morrow, for the put of inspecting some few of the 'Public In stitutions of Dublin, which he has not yet visited, and taking leave of the Lord Mayor, previously to his de parture for England, which is at present positively fixed fur the foiluwing day (Friday). DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER ,23. The Right Hon. Gentleman returned to town from the County of Wicklow, on Tuesday, to dine .with Mr. GOULBURN. Yesterday, after the Review in the Park, Mr. Secretary CANNING pi oceedel towards Balbriggan, Malallide, &c. and returned to dinner to the Viceregal Lodge. This day, Mr. Secretary CANNING finished his survey of our public buildings, a:tended,. as usual, by the LOUD MAYOR. The Right Hon. Gentleman will, we learn, embark for England to-morrow. Yesterday, a Deputation from the Chamber of Com merce attended-at the Viceregal Lodge, in the Park, to present the Address of that Body to Mr. Secretary CANNING. The Address was left, with the names of the Gentlemen who attended. Lord and Lady COMIIIRMERS were among the distinguished straegers who attended at the Cathedral of St. Bart y's,Cork,on Sun day last. The sermon was preached by the Dean of Coax, and, as invariably happens on such occasions, the Church was crowded to excess. • Tuesday, Lord COMMIXERZ proceeded down the river of Cork, in tue Waterloo steam packet, to visit Haulbowline, Spike Island, and the other fortifications in that harbour. He was to have left Cork on Wednesday, for Mallow, to continue his inspection of the troops in the South. Wednesday the Lord Bishop of LIMERICK arrived at the See- House, Limerick, from London. Major flus, of the 95(1 Highlanders, has arrived at Cornfields, county of Clare, the seat of his father-in-law, from Barbadoes. It is not easy to describe the disappointment pro duced at Liverpool, last week, by the intelligence re ceived that Mr. Secretary CANNING could not take Li verpool in his route from Dublin to London. The abi lity and wisdom displayed since his accession to office, by their former distinguished Representative, appear to have increased the affection of the people of Liverpool for that Right Honourable Gentleman, the sincet icy of which they had so often proved. They comfort them selves, however, with the hope that he will make them amends at an early day by •isiting their great commer cial town. They go further; for they express a hope that Mr. Secretary CANNING'S next visit to them will be in the character of an attendant upon his MAJESTY, who, they are sure, cannot forget the affectionate and enthusiastic loyalty with which he was received in Li verpool when Prince of WALES. They therefore trust that the KING will shortly go, and with his own eyes behold the completion of his wish for the increased pro sperity of Liverpool. The ceremony of s p rinkling the corpse of the late KING of FRANCE with holy water, is thus performed : , The Goupillon (a brush constructed for such purposes) being dipped in the holy water, passes from hand to band, each throwing from it a few drops, and retiring. The wood-raft, or immense ship, built in America, is expected to arrive in the Thames in the course of next month, when she will be broken up and the timber sold. This vessel is three hundred feet long, and wide in proportion, and has four masts. Another is building in the United States on the same plan, as the cheapest anode of exporting timber to this country, as the timber of one of these vessels is sufficient to load live large ships. The tolls upon the Bath turnpike trust were on Satur day let by . auction, to Mr. William Parsons, of Shaw ford, near Beckington, for 14,1401. per annum, being an advance upon the receipts of the last year of 1,7411. A case of cutting and maiming, likely to be attended with serious circumstances, occurred on Thursday even ing. A young man, an assistant at Betty's chop-house, Mary-le-Strand, was cleaning knives in the cellar, when he was rudely accosted by two unfortunate women. On his desiring them to go away a torrent of abuse followed, and the young man, in the heat of passion, ran a knife through the rails, which penetrated the thigh of one of them, just above the knee. The man was immediately taken into custody, and an examination was to have taken place on Saturday, before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, but it was put off, from the non-attendance of the wo man, she not being in a fit state to be moved. Yesterday evening, about half past nine o'clock, two persons in the highest state of intoxication were observed driving about Blackfriars-road in a single horse chaise, in all directions, to the imminent danger of those who were passing at the time. A Lady, in cros , ing the road opposite to Rowland Hill's Chapel, was knocked down and severely bruised ; and an old Gentleman was thrown against a chaise, and his face most severely in jured. After some little difficulty, both the men were secured, and taken to Winter's stables, in Great Surrey street, where both bone, chaise, and the dangerous drivers were deposited in security. An Inquest was held at the White Horse, Knights bridge, on the body of G. M.Dowall, of Kew Green, who, on . the King's birth-day, was with others firing -xotxte.cann.on,'one.of which burst while his hand was on the touch hole, - by; which his thumb was blown off, and his knee so dreadfully shattered as to cause his death. Verdict—Accidental Death. THE 'ARMY. • Thursday, orders were issued by the Admiralty, granting the Indulgence to the Field Officers and Captains of the Royal Marine Corps, to sell their commissions up to the 20th of October next. Serjeant atuorrox, of the 59th, Is appointed Barrack.Serjeant to limerick. On the arrival of the 15th in Limerick garrison, the 19th are to occupy the cantonments of the 39th, in the- county of Limerick. A detachment of the 92d Regiment arrived at Kingston, in Ja maica, from St. Elizabeth's, on the 7th July. Six men of the light company died of fever, and nine privates were left behind, in a precarious way. Major-General Sir JOHN KHANS has declined the offer made by the inhabitants of Westmoreland of a sword, as a testimony of the sense entertained by the parish of his services, on the ground, Sir Joutr says, that the service he was enabled to render was so simple, and undeserving of any reward beyond the consciousness of having discharged his duty. Commissions signed by the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire. 'Charles Fyshe Palmer, Rowland Stephenson, John Forbes, John Berkeley Monck, Peter Green, George Henry Cherry, John Wilder, Askew Hillcoar, John Walter, Bernard Brocas, Edward Brice Bunny, Robert Harris, William Stone, and Edmund Fos ter, Esqrs. to be Deputy Lieutenants. EUROPEAN GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL, INDIA. FEMALE CONPICTS.. _The Grenada and Henry, now lying off Woolwich, are expected to sail in the course of this week for New South Wales, with female convicts, of which there are 160 on board the two vessels. The vessels also take nut some free settlers, as passengers. While the convicts have been at Woolwich, they have been 1 equeatly vi- sited by some respectable members of the Society of Friends. Yesterday, Mr. and NI rs.Pryor, of Gracechurcli street, a young Lady of the name of Bennet. and Mr. Baker, well known for his attention to prisoners in New gate under condemnation, went on board the Grenada. Their object was to distrihme Bibles, with which they had been supplied by the British and Foreign Bible So ciety, to the convicts. Wheii they were a,sembled below, each convict was presented with a Bible, in which her name had been previously written. Mr. Pryor then briefly 'addressed the convicts on the inestimable gift they had just received. He was fol lowed by Mr. Baker, who spoke to them at some length. on the necessity of their religious duties. He also read a letter from one of their fellow prisoners in Newgate, of the name of Margaret Stuart, in which she earnestly entreated them to lead their Bibles, and avoid all quarrelling and strife. Mrs. Pryor next addressed the convicts is terms which were calculated to affect them, and several indeed were in tears, during the time she was speaking. Mr. Cunningham, the surgeon, of whose kindness and attention the convicts seemed duly sensible, will, we understand, receive copies of Margaret Stuart's letter, and an address read to them by sirs. Pryor, which will occasionally be read to the convicts during the voyage. The convicts, who are principally under 30 years of age, were all decently dressed, and the accommodations on board are of the most liberal character; the allowance of wholesome food is ample, and the convicts have more room in their sleeping births than is allowed in ships of war. We understand the convicts had been supplied with presents of clothes, needles, thread, Ste. by Mr. and Mrs. Pryor. All the reductions and consolidations in the Revenue Offices, in Ireland, %%ill take place from the 10th Oct. Yesterday morning, ice was perceptible on the surface of the waters around Highgate and Kentish•town. It is stated that the diminution on the Assessed Taxes for the last year, in the County of Devon alone, amounts to nearly fifty thousand pounds (49,8691.) SotrrHANIPTON, SEPT. 25.—Miss M. TREE, of Co' vent• Garden Theatre, arrived here on Monday, under an engagement to play four nights at our Theatre. She played at Manchester on Saturday evening, and, travel. ling during almost the whole interval, arrived here only two hours before she was to appear on the stage. In consequence, no doubt, of such great exertions, she was taken very ill on Wednesday with a spitting of blond, &c. which, to the great regret of her numerous admirers, has disqualified her from acting here any more this season. In consequence of the recent accident which befel the Industry naval transport in coming through the Nee dles passage, it has been suggested' that very great be- Befit would be derived, and much danger and difficulty obviated, by the passage being marked out by buoys properly placed ; and we are happy to find that it seems in contemplation to carry this plan into effect; at all events two of the Elder l3rethren of the Trinity House were surveying the Needles last week, with the view of judging of its practicability. Friday night, during the performance of Is he Jea lous? at. the English Opera-house, an individual in the side boxes, in the midst of the laughter excited by the admirable performance of Miss Kelly and Wrench, for got to take care of his hat, and it fell into the pit. The moment he perceived the serious loss which he had sus tained, considering generosity in that instance to be true policy, he called out aloud " I will give sixpence to any ;entleman who will bring up my hat." Such, however, is the state of affluence to which the country has ar rived, that no gentleman sought to avail himself of this silver opportunity, and the owner of the hat was obliged to go down for it himself. COMBINATION LAws.—There was a case of consider. able interest before the Magistrates at Sheffield, on Friday se'nnight. An information was laid under the Act of Parliament, which was passed towards the latter end of last Session of Parliament, for repealing " the laws relating to the combination of workmen," which, -at the same time it repeals those laws, enacts a punish ment against the wilfully or maliciously using and em ploying violence, threats, and insinuations to the person or property of any individual, on account of his not complying with, and conforming to, the rules, orders, and regulations which may be made by any association of journeymen or otherwise, to regulate the trade by an advance of wages or otherwise. Under this information, T. Liddell, J. Whitehead, W. llearnan, W. Goddard, B. Sykes, J. Kay, J. Jackson, J. Hobson, W. Batty, R. Broadhead, J. South, and J. Ellis, all of the parish of Sheffield, grinders, were convicted, after a long hear ing. of using violence and threats to the person and property of J. Goddard, one of the occupiers of Black burn-wheel, in the parish of Rotherham. The case was attended with many circumstances of aggravation, and the Magistrates sentenced the parties to two months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, to hard labour. As it was understood at the last General Court of Proprietors of the Bank of England, that a plan for rendering the transfer of stock by.power of attorney more secure from forgery and fraud than heretofore was then under consideration, it may not be unacceptable to suggest one mode far their attention, and which is partly taken from the daily practice of the mode of verifying powers to receive dividends of the Accountant- General of the High Court of Chancery. Let a com mon deposition be printed, with blanks on the fly-leaf of the Bank power, to be filled up and sworn by one of the attesting witnesses, who thereby proves the signa ture of the party signing and sealing the power, and also of himself and the other attesting witness, that the act was so done in the presence of the party, and at his request, and then let it be signed and sworn before the . Mayor or Magistrate of the town or district, whose sig nature should be also attested by his attending clef k; the only difficulties herein will be the delay of a short time, and the expense of an affidavit stamp and fee; for I conclude that the Bank would not authorise any fee for the printing on the fly-leaf, but only for the 2s. 6d. affidavit stamp; the whole expense therefore would not exceed 3s. 6d. which is too trifling to impede any trans action. And although it would become a subject of serious consideration whether any person should be ex cluded from being a witness, who could attest this trans action of executing a power, yet it is through necessity ,become necessary to consider whether this should nut be limited to householders who must be known to the Magistrate, and best able to give their attestation.

In the second tie, Billy beat Flora, and won the Cup. FOOT RACE FOR 100 SOV. Mr. Hamilton attempted his match for one hundred sovereigns, to do fourteen miles in one bour and a half on Friday, on a mea sured mile to the southward of Epsom Race Course. He per formed his first two miles in eleven minutes and twenty seconds, and the five miles in twenty-nine minutes; the ten miles was per formed in one minute over the hour, and the pedestrian appeared confident of success ; he, however, was stopped in the thirteenth mile, by a tendon starting in the right leg, and he lost the match, being unable to proceed. BORING. The battle between Harry Brannan, a known good man, and C. Hawkins, was fought on Saturday, off hand, i n t h e fi e ld s b etween lianstead D owns and Carshalton, for 20 sovereigns a-side, in an open ring. Oliver, jun. seconded Brannan, and the brother of Haw kins officiated for him. A merry and hard contested fight took place. Fourteen rounds were fought, but Hawkins had fought himself out, and in the 14th he gave in, after 25 minutes lighting. Brannan was glad enough to put on his linen, and he was a pu- nished winner. A TOUCH OF THE FANCY. Monday, at two o'clock, a tremendous rush took place at the Circus, Earthen Mound, Edinburgh, •for admission to the exhibi tion by Spring and Cribb, champion and ex-champion o: England. The place was completely filled by prime swells, to the exclusion of the lug-rag, who set at defiance the traps planted about the house by the vigilance of the serjeant-major of the police, and getting upon the roof, looked down upon the combatants. At length they were put to the rout, and peact having been restored, the sports commenced. On stripping, the symmetry, attitude, and light ele gance of Spring were particularly admired ; and contrasted finely with the robust sinewy frame of Cribb, who wears well, and looks well, notwithstanding the unseemly protuberance of his paunch. In the earlier rounds both fought rather shy, and displayed glorious science. Spring sheered more of the Parthiaw; and evinced an extraordinary liking to Cribb's noddle, which he honoured with re peated visits. Cribb had a strong partiality to clone 'starters, and hammered away, when he could, at Spring's bread basket with praiseworthy assiduity. Having finished a number of rounds amid the loud plaudits of the company, a young one, of the name of Muir, was introduced for a shy with the champion. This new aspirant for saWing honours is dry and sinewy as a cog-mag, and has tole rable science ; still he is wilds from want of practice, and is defi cient in weight. His system is easily deranged, and when his ad versary moves his position to plant a blow he is completely nor plumed. Spring conducted himself towards him with most gentle manlike liberality, and chewed him off to the hest advantage. Muir is certainly no novice—may not be trifled with—and in the fancy lay might reach eminence, had he more weight. Some smart rounds between Cribb and Spring followed, in which giving and receiving was the order of the day. Spring's blows fell in showers upon Cribb's jolly knob, while Spring received some ugly punches and wipes in the lower regions of his establishment. —Tuesday the exhibition of these heroes was equally well attended, and gave infinite satisfaction. Muir again appeared in collision with Cribb, and astonished the gnos tics with a number of hard pelts upon the ex-champions mans and tictualliag-box, which severely tried his patience. At the close Spring invited any of the company to set-to, but no one felt dis posed for the honour. Sir ASTLET Commit has, by rest, cupping, and blis ters, almost recovered from the effects of his accident, and is ex pected in the Borough next week. Two spots are at present visible on the disk of the Sun. One is of considerable extent, and was on Friday situated on the northern limb, at a distance of about one-third of the sun's diameter from the edge of the limb. The other, of inferior magnitude, is on the southern limb. Silver, in bars, of -the value of three hundred thou. sand pounds, passed up the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, on Tuesday, in a lighter, from Port,m tub to London, having recently arrived from South A•nerica. The Nevi MONTHLY MAGAztNe, for Ocronga, will contain, we understand, a Poem, enttled Realism', from the pen of Mr. CAMPSILL. HAZARD and Co are the Contractors for the present popular Lottery. The Scheme, to be drawn sth of October, con tains Four Prizes of Twenty Thousand, and 34 other Capitals, all to be drawn on that day, when the immense sum of £200,000 will be distributed to the Public in a few hours; there are no Blanks, every number being entitled to Five Pounds. HAZARD and Co. sold Three Twenty Thousands last Lottery, and all Three in Shares, at their Old-established Offices, Royal Exchange Gate; 26, Coruhill; and 324, Oxford-street, end of Regent -street. Mutts and Co. have Agents in all the principal Country Towns. The satisfaction diffused in Mr. SIVEWRIGIIT'S Con tracts, incontestibly proved by the increased number of Tickets disposed of, renders it almost superfluous to invite the Public to their Offices, as they may justly observe their principles are judi ciously adopted and copied by others, viz. giving a large namiser l of Capital Prizes, which somebody is sure to gain, whilst every Purchaser is sure to get back £5 per Ticket at least . Shares in pro portion ; and Foes of £20,000, with 54 other Capital., will be drawn in One Day (Sib (ctosiza) being, in all,- £200,000 - Prize- Money, which may now be obtained at the Fortunate Offices of Messrs.

We had only moderate quaptities of all sorts of English Grain last week, but the largest supply of Foreign Oats that ever came to this market in one week. The fresh arrivals of Briti‘h corn this morning are again small. Fine Whedt has sold with tolerable freedom, and has obtained 2s. per quarter advance on the terms of this day ae'nnight. Barley is very scarce, and new samples have obtained 2s. per quarter more than last Monday. Beans and Peas come to hand in small quantities, and they remain at much the same prices as this day se'nnight. The immense quantity of Oats now for sale has nearly stagnated the trade, and although the fac tors are offering to sell at 2s. per qt. reduction from the terms of last Monday, yet very little progress can be made. Flour is unal tered. Rape Seed finds a very dull sale. ?RICE'S OW BOARD SHIT. Wheat, Red (1824), 465. 58s. Rye, old, 00s. COs. - old, 465. 60s. Beans, Small, new, 425. 445.

GENERAL ORDERS BY THE COSIDIANDER-IN-CHIEF. Head-quarters on the River Ganges, above Dalamow, March 11, 1824. At an European General Court. Martial, assembled at Nagpoor, on the 17th of February, 1824, of which Major GALL. 5d Regt ment Light Cavalry is President, Mr. Ahistant Apothecary James Everard, Hon. Company's European Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, •iz. " Ist. For being repeatedly in a state of shameful intoxication, but particularly on the evening of the 10th inst. (Feb ) " 2d. For bleeding private Ward, of the Rifle Company, Euro. pean Regiment, and cutting his arm in a highly improper manner, on the evening of the 10th inst. (Feb.) whilst in the above state of shameful intoxication." Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision : FINDING AND Serraticr—" The Court having duly considered the evidence that has come before it, is of opinion, that the prisoner is guilty of both the charges exhibited against him, and sentence him to be dismissed the service." Approved and confirmed, (Signed) LOW. PAGET, General, Commander.in•Ctiief in India. . . James Everard is to be struck off the list of Subordinate Medi cal Officers, from. the date on which this order may be published at Nagpoor. Wednesday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, the troops in Dublin Garrison were reviewed in the Phoenix Park, before the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING, under the orders of Sir COLQUHOUN GRANT. The troops consisted ' of the Royal Artillery, the 4th, or Royal Irish Dra goons, the 9th Lancers, the $d Guards, the 78th High Landers, and the Rifle Corps. They went through the whole of the elegant new movements in echelon, throw ing out videttes, - skirmishing, charging, retreating, forming into solid squares, and receiving on the human chevaux de frise the charges of artillery. The scene was amazingly brilliant and imposing, and was much heightened by the serenity of the weather. Shot tly of ter twelve o'clock the Royal Artillery and the Regi ments of Infantry defiled from the revie ound, marching through the picturesque under Apod which intervenes between it and the " long mile-stone," i. e. the Wellington Testimonial, and went through the manoeuvres of a column retreating from the field, keeping up a running fight. General GRANT then put the 4th Dragoons and the 9th Lancers through several cavalry movements with great effect; their horses, having been peculiarly well trained, appeared to answer the bridle with much ease, and the whole passed off much to the satisfaction and pleasure of Mr. Secret ark CA N NING, who, mounted on a bay charger, and acci.impal•ied by Lord HOWARD de WALDEN and Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, exoressed peculiar satisfaction itt the military spectacle. At a quarter after one the Review terminated, :ma Mr. Sect et ary CANNING returned to the Vice-regal Lidge. A number ol to& soiduals of fashion were on the ground; one party. a family tie, attracted much interest and observation—the Right Hon. HEN RY GOULDURN'S ; the Right Hon. Sect etary drove Mrs. Goutatrau and his family, while being seated on an Irish jaunting-car, of simple but elegant construction, and without any attendants. Monday, the garrison of Cork, commanded by that most • estimable Officer, Sir JOHN LAMBERT,. was re viewed in the place of ever else, before Lord COMBER MIRE. The garrison was not numerous, con.isting only of the Artillery, the 15th Hussars, and 61st in fantry; but they afforded an admirable specimen of discipline and field manoeuvres, performed %‘ ith great rapidity, precision, and steadiness. The iniptovements in field exercise introduced by Sir HENRY TORRENS, were executed with consummate skill by the 61st ; the solid square was repeatedly formed in a masterly style, and all the movements of the angles made in the highest order, and with the greatest effect. The solid square has acquired a prodigious potency, now that it may be said to be liberated from its old stationary and defensive principle.—lt is now moveable to all points, in perfect cohesion, solidity, and order, and presents an attacking power of 'irresistible effect, wherever it may not be within the range of artillery. GUIBERT'S principle of not fixing the bayonet until an emergency may call for it, is brought into use, and must add to the efficiency of - the firing, and give the soldier confidence whenever resorted to. Hereto fore this latter effect was removed by the familiar em ployment of it on all occasions—while it added to the *eight of the musket, and impaired the fire, by its tendency to throw the muzzle of the piece below any meditated level. An immense concourse of people at tended the review. Monday, the ship Dublin Patriot, Captain STRANGE, arrived from Vera Cruz (in ballast), in 44 days, bring ing dispatches from the Mexican Government, an nouncing the death of Iturbide, and (the Master reports) the surrender of the Castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa. With respect to the latter event, we shall be happy to hear it confirmed, though in the present state of public feeling throughout Mexico, which appears Co be an intermin able hatred of Ferdinand and every individual subject of Old Spain, it is of no other consequence from being in the hands of the Royalists, than that the garrison can wantonly fire upon the city of Vera Cruz whenever they please. Most of the inhabitants, huwever, had removed from that place previous to the sailing of the FORTE. Though it was not known that the Castle had fallen when the FORTE sailed, yet, as she left Tampico the Bth of August, and that port is about 450 miles from Vera Cruz, which latter place the Dublin Patriot left on the 7th of that month, it may have capitulated, the supplies for it, which sailed from the Havannah at the latter end of July, not having arrived in time to succour the gar rison.--Hampshire Telegraph. The Norwich Grand Mutical Festival terminated on l Saturday, by the performance of the Grand Selection ofl Sacred Music. Au apology was made fOr Miss CAREW'S hoarseness. It is supposed that this Festival has caused an expenditure during the last week at Norwich, of not less than 3,0001. * ' • c f } 141*- :c • = U - YM • ,1 ,AL ~i~:zs A -.._ affil6 • • . `~~ . ~: ;llr \ '
