The Lord Lieutenant visited the Theatre on Satur day night, accompanied by his fine and numerous fa mily. His Excellency was received at the State en trance, and conducted to his box by the Stage and Acting Managers, Messrs. Calcraft and Elrington. On appearing in the house the noble Marquis was welcomed by an overflowing audience with the warmest marks of attachment, which he seemed to feel most sensibly. The entertainments, the liivah and the Miller and his Men, went off with great split, frequently eliciting ap plause from the Vice-regal box as well as from the other parts of the Theatre. His Escellency, indeed, sreme.l highly pleased with both the perlorn.ance and the house. The improvements in the pit are sow corn pleted, and add much to the general appearance,whilst they contribute greatly to the comfort of the 'frequenters of that part of the building. We trust the Dublin Theatre is destined to become once more the resist of taste and fashion, under the auspices of a Viceroy who has shown such a decided predilection for the drama, as the - Marquis of Anglesey has evinced since his arrival amongst us.

A meeting of the Subscribers to Lloyd's took place yesterday, at twelve o'cl •ck—the LORD MAYOR in the Chair—to nominate three Gentlemen as Members of the Committee, who go out in rotation; and to submit to the consideration of the Subscribers the payment of 9551. 4s. 4d. from the fuuds, being . the amount of the expense of criminal proceedings against Viana ancliMer reifies, for attempts to defraud the Underwriters. The LORD MAYOR stated, that a fraudulent irmirance to the amount of 12,0001. had been effected by nese in dividuals, which, alter an investigation at Oporto and South America, bad been fully established, and they had in consequence been tritd and f Fund guilty. Mr. M. however, WAS rile only individual who could be ap prehended, and he was now suffering imprisonment an the Court of King's Bench for his crime. Mr. Viana had absconded. The Chairman also stated, that although by the s9th bye-law, the Committee mere empoweted to vote the above named sum without calling • public .meeting, yet the large amou n t, and the wish for a publicity of the punishment of the baud, had induced them to bring it before th • Subset ibee s at large. Hit L •tdihip related to Mr. Eat for a full explanation cf the proceedings. Mr. PRATT. in a speech of great length, entered fully into the particulars cf the prosecuti,,n, aid the diffi culty experienced ef getting evidence and judgment. A Subscriber asked, whether the Committee would institud e similar proceedings against any English de frauder, if such a case sl ould come before them ? Mr. &ZAP said, as a case of the utmost importance to this establishment had been btoacbed, and as the rumours circulated m ere of the deepest interest to society, he begged to ask a question of one of the sub- Nctibers, as to a notice posted for the Meeting of Under. writers on certain policies, on the 6th, and niter.. ards on the 9,h inst. and it any communication could be made he called for an explanation.--(There was here a long consultation as to a point of order.) Mr. DRWAR said, in reply to the questions put. he did nut hesitate vs state that he was the induvidus I p - inted out for an explanation. He stated that he had rave tigated the accounts and statements of two indi vidual, naming them (t firm of great business). He had been accused of vindictive f clings towards those individuals. He disclaimed any such feelings, but he would do his duty to the Subscribers, from many of whom he received acts of ft iendship ; he existed but in. Lloyd's, and he would maintain its high character. He thin said that he accused e firm in question of the m 4 st extensive frauds, crimes cf the deepest dye; he held proofs r f the crimes, and indeed the first of the firm had admitted his c, irninality. He then entered into detail., stating that the firm had effected large as surances on vessels, and afterwards claimed on the un derwriters for a return of the premium for short ship ments (no interest). I'nis was put in the pockets of the brokers, as the principal never made such claim. Mr. Dewar then alluded to a letter received from the first member of the firm in question, stating his readiness to pay all claims on his house, and declaring that he re tired from Lloyd's, but asking that his partne r might be allowed to remain, on account if his large family ; but he (Mr. Dewar) as an individual, would never consent to either of them again entering these rooms; the whole affair had only been investigated and proved on Tues.. day ; it was laid before the Comtbittee yesterday fore noon, and the final close of this business rested entirely with them. Thanks were then voted to Mr. DEWAR and the LORD MA TOR, and the Meeting adjourned. BATTUL—Friday a parry of twelve, at the Duke of Norfolk's, at Fornharn, k Bed 97 brace of pheasants, and 40 brace of hares. This rather disproves the statements which we have heard of the scarcity of game in this neighbourhood. Nearly as great a quantity, it propor tion to the number of guns, was killed on the same day at Collard, the estate of H. Benyon De Beauvoir, Esq. adjoining that of his Grace. A private letter from Malta, dated November 14, contains the following intelligence By a Flinch brig from Tripoli we have the important intelligence 'hat the war which existed between that Regency and the Sovereign of the Two &cities, has been brought to a happy termination on the following terms:—The Bey is to keep all the prises made by his corsairs, and Na. pies is to restore all tho e made by her ships of war, paying also the sum of 20,0005041116 h dollars." - ismaigis MEDICO-BOTANICAL SOCIE fY. A numerous meeting oi tors society took place yes tetd4y; the Rght Hon. Earl SrANHOPL in the Chair. Afier the ordonny busineis of the meeting had been dispo.ed of, the Secretary read an or der rf the Council for the immediate expulsion of Robert Brown, Esq. of the British Museum, F R.S. F.A.S. F.L.S. and, indee.t, of every scientific society in the metropolis. The ord. r of expulsion was founded on certain letters written by Mr. Brown to the Secretary and Directors, in answer to communications from these Gen lemon reque ling the delivery of a valuable collection of plants presented to the Society by the Lady of Sir Alexander Creighton, and handed over to Mr. Brown two years since, fssr the purpose of his bestowing the Linnean names. Before the ballot for expulsion took place, Di. Wools. FORD moved for the production of the correspon..ence and the letters were read, from which it appeared that Mr. Brown took offence at the " peremptory manner in which he hadbeen ordered to return the pl ants, " and lest he should be subjected to such treatment in future, returned hi. diploma," and requesting his name to be erased from the list of fellows. Dr. SIGMOND said, the mem' ers would do well to consider seriously before they expelled Mr. Brown, who was admitted to be the first bot.olist of the present day. He moved as an amendment, that Mr. Brown's resig nation be accepted. Mt. Eaorr defended the Council, and loudly conic' on the Society to support it. Mr. CA PgL, M.P. followed on Cie s .me side. The NAle CHAIRMAN s lid, the Ciiuncil should not be supported if is error; but he thought, in the present case, the Council were right. The ballet was proceeded wi h, and Mr. Brown was declared expelled by a majority of six. In the cousk of the evening a paper was read on the utility of botany in meJicone. Mr. JOHN HARDY presented specim'ns of the leases, , flowers, and eitract of the a plant which has of late caused considerable a e o nsensin South America and the West Indies, in consequence set its being a specific for the bite ul the most poisonous - reptiles. hesents were announced from the Grand Duke of Tuscany, comprising 332 specimens of medicinal plant-. Several members were admitted, and ballots taken; after which the meeting adjourned. RESURRECTION MEN. ..181...- PROM Till DUBLIN MORNING POST. On the night of sday and morning t f Friday last, Menion churchyard was made a scene of blood and outrage, under circumstances at once shocking to humanity. S )itietime about a week back, a female of the name of Ryan died in the neighbout hood of Mer• rion, and was interted in die churchyard there. After the burial, four brothels of Vie decersed, assisted by some Wench., kept constant watch at the grave of their sister, to protect her remains from that violatiois, the practice of which has latterly been carried on to such a frightful extent on the dead in those cemeteries more immediately . in the vicinity of the metropolis. On the above night, between the bouts of eight and nine o'clock, the Ryan. having lift two of their party as sentinels at the grave, retired with the remainder into a cabin, which is situate cloe to the churchyard. They bad not been long there when a knock was given at the door; it was opened, and outside appealed a party consisting of about nine or ten persons, some of whom, addressing themselves to q.ose within, announced to them at once what they were, and the purport of their business—namely, that they were resurrection men, and came there to raise bodies as subjects f dissection; adding. that being aware of their being engaged watch. ing a corpse, they had called upon them, in the first it— stance, for the put pose of having the grave in which it • was deposited pointed out to them, in nosier that they might avoid it. To this the reply from the other party was, that although they came there especially to guild a particular body, yet that while they remained they were determined equally to protect the other., and, in a wort, that they would not suffer any whatever to be disturbed. The " Resurrection men" on Oil expre•seJ their de. termination to go to work at once, and raise and carry off by force, if necessary, as many bodies as they pleased, without regard or discrimination towards any one beyond another. They were proceeding accordingly to act up to :his declaration, when the opposing party sallied forth and arranged themselves to resist their entrance into the burying ground. A conflict instantly ensued —sticks, stones, and fists were the only weapons in re quisition, and after a pretty smart contest in this way the " Resurrectionists" were defeated, and compelled to retire, giving however, in their retreat, their antagonists t r understand they would take measures that their triumph should be r f but t.mporary duration. About two o'clock in the morning they returned to the scene of action, several of them being provided with fire arms; more done prepared with pick -Axes, and other instruments of their unhallowed trade, as 'hair offensive. Those whom they thus came to at t .ck, had employed their time in increasing their force, by the addition of both rn-n and arms ; they now stood in regular array ill the churchyard. There was no time spent in parley. A •olley of bullets, slugs, and swan drops, from the Resurrectionists, commenced the engagement. This was promptly answered by a similar discharge from the other side, while those who were not armed with guns rushed on each other with such weapons as they pos. sensed. The consequences that might be expected were soon felt. One of the defending party, a man named Ward, received a ball in one of his arms, and while in the act of attempting to discharge a pistol in return, the barrel, from being overcharged, burst and shattered iris right hand in a dreadful manner; others on the same side also felt the effects of their adversaries' shot ; while at the same time more than one of the invaders of the sanctuary of the tomb were obsea wed to fall, and a few to withdraw themselves altogether, evidently dis abled from taking any further part in the combat. After the contest had been supported for some time, the wretches who had originally been the cause of this bloodshed began to give way, and were soon after en tirely driven from the premises, when they retreated towards town, bearing with them their wounded com panions. The field of action, on the following morn ing, exhibited abundant proof of the fury and deadly animosity with which hostilities had been carried on. Since the occurrence, a strong party of theWilliamstown police, under peace officer M'Dowell, contiaue to patrol nightly sear the churchyard. Ile Bramble cutter arrived at Plymouth on Sunday night from Gibraltar, which she left on the 28th ult. and Tangiers on the 29th. We are happy to be able to state, that only five deaths bad occurred at Gibraltar on the 28th, and, that there were only seventeen admis sions into the hospitals. Our Consul at Tangiers was not in confinement. He might have embarked on board a ship of war, but declined. le have little doubt that Ihediffer epees with the Tsokietine Authorities have ere 'this been settled. GLASGOW, Dumps 9.

The amateurs of the Fancy at Nottingham and its vicinity were much interested in this event.

Foamy INTWEIN ROCIENS AND BAILAT.—A pugilistic contest foe AV.S a.side, between these tWO heroes of flak trotoriety, to place at Newport, on Monday last.

Yrsterday an Inquest was held at the British Lion, on view of the body of Mr. D.aper, aw tradesman residing in ReJ Cross street, S 'uthwark. From the evidence, it appeared that on Saturday last the deceased called at the house of a Mrs. Lee, Carter street, Red Cross street. where he supped, and, between them eerholisl'ed a pound and a half of chuck steaks ; the deceased having eaten the greater portion of the meat, washed it down with a pint of beer. After supper Mrs. Lee, having occasion to go out, • left her guest sitting by the fireside in Ins usual health, and on her return. which was in less than five minutes, she found him lying extended along the parlour; and at first, conceiving he was joking, she called upon him to rise off the floor, but the poor man was insensible to the call, and on the arrivals f a surgeon, the deceased was found to be lifeless. His death hav ing been produced by a sudden ratiaek of apoplexy and paralysis, a verdict to that effect was recorded. STATIC or TRADIL—The demand fur the lower and middle numbers of twist for shipping is still good, the weather being so open as to afford hopes of the Elbe continuing navigable f r some time longs r. Fine yarns are very bad ; the r price is considerably lower, whilst that of the raw material is decidedly higher than at this time last year. Printing cloth., borh hand and power loom, continue much depressed, and, r<•e are ln omed. have this week been purchased for less mon-y then at any former period. Nankeens are very dull of sale (owing, in a great degree, to the season), and fustian also are much depressed. Same of the printers are very busy, and in other lines there is a good business doing. On the %hole, trade, we believe, is mar as it usually is at this time of the year. We may safely infer that it is not so bad as we have often known it, since there are few, if any, of the labouring classes out of work.— The cotton market has undergone some reduction this week, (minis, it is said, to the new crop appearing likely to come forward decidedly earlier than usual. It is under stood to be very large in quantity, and the u lands are very clear and bright in colour ; some of the sam ples appear rather deficient in staple, probably from having been pluck. d before they were fully ripe.— Manchester Mercury. EITRAORDINARY ABSTINEVCE OF A DOO.—When the repairs were last going on at St. Paul's Cathedral a dog followed its master up the dark stairs of the dome. Here all at once it was missing, and calling and whist ling was to no purpose. Two months . fter this some men were at work in the Cathedral, and heard amongst the timbers which support the dome a faint noise. They instantly repored to the spot whence the sound came, and found a dog lying oo ►ts side, with air old slice half eaten. The animal being much emaciated, and scarcely able to stand, the workmen placed it ►n the porch of the Church to die or live as it night happen. The yeast day. the dog was seen crossing Fleet market, and by the aid of the houses it reached its master's house io Red Lion street, Holborn, where it soon reco•ered.
