BILITOL, sEI 3 TEMBER st, 1803. Tt is Ligbly gratifying to as to announce to the Public. that the important fervices of Lieutenant- Colnnel Gore, in promoting the difcipline of the 1 Royal &inn' Volunteer Regiment, have received from Colonel Baillie, and the Officers of the Corps, the molt unequivocal proof of their approbation. Yenerday fc'nnight a deputation, confining of Captains Harford, Vaughan, and Haythorne, was a ppointed by Colonel Baillie and the Officers of the Regiment, to wait on Lieutenant. Colonel Gore, and, in their names, to prefect him with a Charger and Furniture complete, according to the late regulation of the Commander in Chief, and a Sword, with the following infcription sa.'ire was pr fenced to Lieutenant-Colonel Goaa, with a Charger and Accoutrements, by the Often of the Royal Briflol Volunteer:, as a Tribute of their High Venn and hefted, yuly, 13c45. Captain Harford, as fenior officer prefent, then ad (belied Lieutenant-Colonel Gore. a I am needled by Colonel Baidie, and the Officers of the Royal Briftol Volunteers, to folieit your acceptance of thefe marks or their citron and approbation; and that you will value them only an a fruill tellinsony of the high eentideration in which the Colonel and Officern of the Corps ettimate the importance of your tciviee , And their fenfe of the very confpiettous zeal and ability you have difplayed in the performance of your military duty." To which Lieutenant-Colonel Gore made the fol- Icwing reply:— Nn words of mine can poffibly convey an adequate idea of my feoingp upon this oecalion : be allured I am fully (cable of "or kind Attentions, and appreciate as I ought this flattering teat many of your high opinion. lam confcious that it far exceeds what any merit of mine entitles me to ; but, as I am well con vinced it iA meant as a token of your approbation, as fuch I accept it—ind, be allured, that this confpicuous mark of your attention and attachment, will remain indelibly imprinted on my heart." At a gereral Court of Proprietors of theWett India Dock Cqmpany, held yefferday in Billiterlquare, a dividend of five per cent. for fix months, ending 3oth tine, was declared; and alto a dividend at the rate tol. per cent. per annum fur four months on the that became (lock on the iR of March lait. The 111 Staffordthire Regiment of Militia marched int. , Portimouth lalt week, fence which the 2d batta- lion leas hren incorporated with thorn. The regiment now I boo hong. They are to march for Windfor this week. The zd Ba , talion of the 66th Regiment, quartered at Turn, in Ireland, (one of the referve battalions) h tve volunteered to a man to extend their let vices to attv part of Europe, during the war, as an entire Biqalion, a nd tinder the command of their own (Juicers. This fpirited and gallant offer of that fine Vit•alion of men, a rhouland Itrong, and in the 110)01 Rate of difcipline, will, no doubt, be MOLL Unicioufly received by his Majetly. It is rumoured that the Brigade from the Royal Artillery and Corps of Engineers, attached to the intended expedition, is equal, it not fuperior, to an f ,ict.ichment ever fent from thole two highly diftin iiuilhed atid ferviceable corps. _ _ _ _ Lieutenant General SINICOS'S flying encampment is now in motion through the We(tern diflriel, and likely to continue fo till the latter end of Oelober. Previoufly to its movement, the Lieutenant General tent circular letters to thole volunteer corps which have not been during the rummer on permanent duty, requelling them now to come forward with the above mentioned fervice, in order to reinforce his en. eenprnent, and to be jangled in the different du• ties of field exercife. The Cavalry and Infantry Volunteer Corps in the County of Devon mutter about 16,cioci men, of which about 4c,00 form the old diablithment, and 12,000 the new one The cavalry are reported to be all on the former, being embodied at one and the fame time. The following fcale points out the difference between the two etlabliihmcnts: NLw LITAILI3IMLNT• Officers, nu Pay &drams, Corporals, Drummers and Prirees at the fame pay, that is 206. per year for 24 days of exereife. thrjeants. an Drummers, for Serie:int!, Drummers, and Pri cloathing, 31. los. vates, the fame allowance for Privates, for ditto, tl. los. eloathing, that is 11. each mat., The offers of fervice both from ihe old and new corps, went up about the fame period of time, the plans of feryice having been regularly circulated ; but in confequence of the numerous offers, Govern ment thought proper to contra& its acceptance, and confine it to °tiers received within a given fpace.— Shortly afterwards, however, Government thought proper to extend the volunteer ellablifhment, and field out new terms of a very contraeled nature. — What was the confequence ? The corps forming the new eflablifhment having offered their fervices once, could do no lefs than accept of the new terms, as in v.iliun was the order of the day. As invation is fomewhat done away, and the time of fer:•ice (three years) is nearly up, timely it is juft and politic that there Ihould be but one fyftem for volunteer corps. Earl FORTISCUE, as Lord Lieutenant of the County of Devon, is making a tour, partly military, through that divifion of the Weilern Difirilt. On Monday laff his Lordfhip, attended by Joust Moll- CAS E . Efq.

A riot of 'a very fcrious nature occurred on Sunday fenn;girt at Ballincolig, a few miles from Cork, be tween a party of the army doing duty at the powder shills, and the country people of that neighbourhood. The particulars of the affray have not yet been given to us with that accuracy which the reprefentation of it would require. Several perfons, we underftand, have been (cutely wounded. The U - aufetion is un gcrgoing a lisle jun[6,32.6311. DUBLIN. SEAT. Mr. Gaavraw will attend his duty in Parliament &may after the 'opening of the Seffion. On Sunday let the Bifhop of MEATH arrived at Donaghadee from Portpatrick. The 'Whop of DOWN arrived in this City a few days ago. The venerable Bffhop of Li►tsuca is in town, and apparently in good health. The accouchement of the Lord Chancellor's Lady took place unexpectedly during her prefeot vifit to the North. We are happy to learn, however, that her Ladyfhip has not fuffered any injury from a circum [lance fuppofed at a greater diftance. Lord Dom BRAILIAI has returned public thanks to all the inhabitants of Doneraile, who exerted themfelves on Sunday fe'nnight in extiniguifhing an alarming fire which raged in his premiles, and which threat. coed the molt alarming progrefs. His Lordlhip has alfo expreffed his obligations to Colonel Gomm:toe, and the officers and men of the 6zd regiment, for their aaive affiftance on the oceafion. We are happy to hear, that in the event of a war between Auaria and France, our gallant country. man, the Field Marthal Baron O'Bssov, is likely to (land high in command. The EMPEROR of Gas- MANY has appointed him one of his Privy Council lore, Chief Chamberlain, Governor and Commander in Chief of Dalmatia, where he has an army of as well difciplined troops as any in Europe ; and as a further mark of diainaion, has conferred on him the rank of Colonel Commandant of his own regiment of infantry, which is the &It in the world. Yefierday, a body of recruits, about too in num ber, marched into this city, from Liverpool. The building of a Reeple to St. Andrew's Church, proceeds with all expedition coalition with its intend ed height : when fiailhed it will be a very confider. able ornament to the city of Dublin ; the tower is to be 130 feet high, and the fpire 80, being in all 250 feet, or 31 feet higher than that of St. Patrick's Ca thedral. On Sunday laft, the Cove of Cork corps were in fpeaed by Major CROKER, and on Tuefday the City of Cork corps went throngh a variety of evolutions before Major FENroN. Some of the Northern Yeo manry were infpeaed laft week by Gen. CLIO NAN E. The belt of three one mile heats was run for near Maryborough on Monday lad, for one hundred Guineas, P. or P. between the Rev. Mr. O'Nsit.'s grey poney Batchelor, and Roam'. COLLINS, Efqr's. black poney. The firit mile was well conte Red, but as Mr. COLLINS'S black pony bolted, The was not able to come up with the grey polity. The fecond heat was won hollow by the Rev. Mr. O'Neri's grey poney. The day being remarkably fine, there was a great affembiage of beauty and &anon from Mary. borough and the furrounding neighbourhood. The laft week has been rendered remarkable by the number of unfortunate and melancholy events Which have occurred in Waterford: On Wednefday laft, a young man, a flator, named Reilly, was killed by a fall from a feaffold, at a new building on Hen nay% Road. Thurfday another was drowned in the river. Saturday morning three ;sarong ' who were employed in taking down an old houfe in Higb-areet, were fuddenly overwhelmed by its fall ; one of them, a mafon, named Patrick Doyle, was extricated alive, and without material injury ; the other two were found quite lifelefs: one of them, a labourer, named John Lonergan, a man of excellent charater, has left a widow and two fmall children to deplore his lofs ; and, on the fame day, by the fall of a fcaf fold at BAllioamona-houfe, a man of the name of, Foreftal was killed, and a lad named Meehan, Is verciy bruited, but expeaed to recover. EXTRAORDINARY MURDER.—On Monday night lei Mr. Ifasc Blight, a molt refpeaable and opulent merchant, was murdered while he was fitting in his chair in his own houfe, at Greenland Dock, near Deptford. Mr. Blight's houfe is the firft below Greenland Dock, and fronts the river Thames : the back part is furrounded by a prong paling. On Thurlday night lalt (at which time Mr. Blight, with his Lady, were at Margate), a friend of theirs, a Mr. Scripps, was fitting alone in a front parlour in Mr. Blight's houfe; about half ;salt eight o'clock he was alarmed by a piflol or gun, loaded with ball; being fired through the window: the ball lodged in a part of the room not far from where he fat ; every fearch was immediately made, but no perfon that could be fufpeded was to be found. The next day (Friday) Mr. Scripps wrote to Mr. Blight, to inform him of the circumttance, when the latter it:dandy tame to town ; but neither he nor Mr. Scripps could attach fulpicion upon any one. On Monday night, there Gentlemen were fitting together in a back parlour in Mr. B.'s houfe; and about the fame hour (half pall eight o'clock), Mr. S. having occafion to go out for a few minutes, took a candle, anti left his friend alone. He had not been gone more than two or three minutes, when he heard the report of a gun ; on which he immedi ately returned, and found Mr. B. lying (hot through the body ; the ball had entered a little below his ribs, palled through his back, and lodged in the wainfcoting behind where he fat. The only perfon in the houfe when the murder was committed, was a female fervant, who alto heard the report of the piece, but was in a kitchen at tome diftance; neither Mr. Scripps, the fervant, nor thole who were called in, could find any traces whatever of the murderer; he got clear off; neither gun nor piltol was left be hind, our any thing that could tend in the lealt to difcnver him. _ _ The unfortunate Gentleman was infiantly put to bed, and the Alliance of a lurgeon immediately pro cured, who foon pronounced the wound to be mortal. Mr. BliAht, during the night and yefierday morn. ing, was futficiently collated to be able to anfwer every queaion relative to the horrid trsnfaftion. The whole account, however, that he could give, was cxtremely fhort ; he Rated, that after Mrs Scripps left him, he fat alone, and neither heard nor aulpated any one; at lali, however, he faw the door of the room open fiowly (but this did not alarm him), and almoft at the fame inltant be was lhot he neither faw nor heard the perfon who fired at him. The above particulars Mr. Blight repe.sed teveral times before he died; and declared that he was not confeious of having an eney in the world. He expivtfl at three (o'clock yegi.day at crayon. isms& iorthan iAisrrE, setinjer . . . • WILD cmaiissaLiox's Dims, SEPT. 24.

Pang AGENTS.—John Orr, an old feaman belongs ing to Ayr, Served on board his Majefty's Ihip HAM,. SHIRE, in the years 1759 and 1760. She had orders to duize on the Jamaica Ration, and made feveral valuable prizes, the difpofal of which was entrufted to agents, for behoof of the captors. Whether the Tenth Report, or force document connefled with it, has at length enabled them to wind up the concern, we cannot fay, but a few weeks back an advertiftment appeared, requefting perfons entitled to (hare thefe prizes to apply for a fettlement. Mr. Orr accordingly applied, and got a flatement—that his there, after a lapfe of forty : five years, amounted to 91. ts. sd. and three farthing:, (the accuracy of the Raiment we null not doubt) and, on Monday fe'onight, he got an or der nn the Cuftont•hottfe, Ayr, for the amount, ex cept the three farthing:. Thus it appears, that had Lord Ms tv ILL aa:paired, which enfures the fpeedy and effeaual payment of prize money, certain Gen. demen, truly hone) and refigiellly pananal, would have loft on this !'mall tranfaaion, from the accumulating intereft, above 741. DREADFUL Fite.—Sunday night, about 7 o'clock, a fire was difcovered in an upper room of that men, five warehoufe, in Lower Sparling-fiteet, Liverpool, occupied by Mars. Greetham and Green, and others which loon got to fo great a head as not to be (lib: dued, but raged with great fury until three o'clock, when, by the great exertions of the firemen and a plentiful Supply of water, it was fo far got under as to preferve the adjoining buildings from the deftruc tive element.—All the books and much property in the lower rooms were Saved, but a large quantity of grain, cotton, and other goods, in the upper ones, were dell toyed; its ravages were fortunately confined within the walls of the warehoufe, which is reduced to a (hell. We under Rand the prentifes are infured. On Wednefday a young P rule, of decent appear ance. in confequence, as it afterwards appeared, of the defpair attendant on an imprudent conneaion, threw herfelf into the Serpentine River. She was extricated by Come perfons accidentally paffing, and conveyed to the building eiefted for the reception of the fubjefts of fuch accidents by the Hostas; So ct Ivry ; when Mr. KNAPP, of Brompton-row, was fent for to her affillance, who, by perfevering dais gence, fucceeded in reftoring her to animation.
