PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Right Hon. Viscount Combermere and family left ',mow Castle. Cheshire, on Monday last, for their seat, C,ombennere Abbay. They have hon oured that beautiful bathing-place by making it their residence during the last month. Sir Henry and the Misers ltiamwaring have also been staying at the hotel, and took their depar ittre on the same day for Peover-Hall, Cheshire. During the past week the Ex-Royals of France have been •isitinu the different places of interest in the neighbourhood of their residence; amongst others, Wardour Castle, with which they expressed thrmselres much delighted.—Lord Arundel, the noble owner, has made an dill of the seat, which it is expected will be acceined, Lulworth be. found too small for the Court of the Ex.Klag. The income allowed t:,t in by the French Government is said to be 140,0001. per annum.... tI ...tern Luminary Ott Friday the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and suite. arrived at Dean's Inn.

Marquis of Lansdowne is expected in Limerick on the 23rd instant. Ills Lordship intends to attend a meeting of the ‘Vtllc.ley Bridge Commissioners, to apply to Government for a fur. thtr grant of money. The Earl of Kingston is rapidly recovering from his late futlisposition. The Earl and Countess of Cork leave Mitchelstown Vole tarly next week, to visit their estates in the county Cork. The most Noble Marquis of Waterford, the youthful pre mier Marquis of Ireland, is expected on Wednesday next, at Currag more House, the seat of his family in this county. We understand that he is to be accompanied by his uncle, the Lord Primate, by his se cond brother Lord John Beresford, and other members of the family. Lord George Beresford is there already. The party intend to pass some time there. This Is the first visit of the/Marquis since his ac. cession to the title. ELOPLMINT.—Monday morning, at an early hour, the neighbourhood of Summer-hill was thrown into a state of excitement by the disclosure of an elopement which had taken place some time , during the preceding night. The parties were the daughter of a Major formerly of the 14th Dragoons, and a young man of rank and connections much inferior to those of her family. 'rhe lady is reported to be pretty and accomplished, while her " chosen^ is said to possess no peculiar personal attractions, and cannot, from his situation in life, be either well-educated or of ra. tined manner. The Major was, as most fathers, (especially if military men,) would be, in a violent rage at his daughter's conduct, and ins mediately employed the police and other agents to secure the pair, but as " love laughs at locksmiths," so does be help his votaries to evade the myrmidons of the law, and the romantic fugitives succeeded in erecting their escape. It is not known where they have gone t 0...- Morning Register. THE CONYNCHAM FAMILY.—It is a curious fact, and one no less curious than true, that the Marquess and Marchioness Conynham; accompanied by a son and. daughter—we believe Lord Al bert and Lady Louisa—have been at their mansion at Slane Castle, only a few miles from Dublin ' since Saturday last ; and that up to this hour the persons resident in the town of Slane and its imme diate neighbourhood—such is the strict degree of yrivacy observed—. . . are ignorant of the honour deep an enjoying by the win= of such distinguished visitors . The arrival of the noble party was expected --and there was not the slightest made for their recep tion ; but we think we are justi fi ed breaking through that Incognito which the Royal Marchioness has thought proper to assume, rn making this Journal the organ of communicating the joyful tidings to the people of Ireland. AIRS. Fyrzlizaacam.—This lady, who once exercised such an important influence on the fortunes of the Prince of Wales, af terwards George IV. was so deeply affected when informed of his late Majesty's death, that she has ever since been confined to her chamber, very seriously ill; and from her advanced age and consequent infirmi ties, her recovery is considered doubtfuL Her maiden name was Smith; her father a Roman Catholic gentleman of an ancient and respectable familf.; and previously to her connexion with the Prince she had been twice married : on the first occasion, when only 15 years of age, to Mir. Weld, the propeietor of Lulworth Castle (the place assigned to the es. Kin,t Charles X. as a residence), who was desirous of an heir to hie ..xtensive estates. In this, however, he was disappointed, for he died without issue in less than a year after marriage, and h estates paued to his brother Thomas, father of Dr. Weld, whom the Pope has lately invested with the dignity of Oir. dinal. The lady was again married before she had completed her 20th year, to Mr. Fitaherbert, but in little more than three years she was again a widow, and remained single until the period when the ht.i: apparent to the Crown saw and was fascinated by her charms, then ripened into maturity. Her virtue, however, was proof against the temp tations of becoming the mere mistress of a Prince, and they were pri vately married, according to the forms both of the Protestant and Ca tholic church. The Roman Catholic priest who married them consulted his safety by quitting England immediately afterwards, and be was pro. tided for in another country. A separation, induced by prudential con 'nitrations, afterwards took place; and there seems, notwithstanding, to have been a strong tuutual attachment; and after the Prince's unha ppy marriage with, and separation from, the Princess Caroline of Brunsw ick, the connexion was renewed. The lady has for many years lived in coin parative retirement; she had an allowance of 6,000 L a-year from the King, the continuance of which has been secured to her upon his Ma jest} 's death. She has been on terms of intimacy with most of the other members of the Royal Family, both male and female, and has received from them visits of condolence since the death of their Royal brother. ..- Caledonian Mercury. Mr. North, the ex-Candidate for College, and Archdea con Singleton's Member for Drogheda, is said to be in rather an awk war,l predicament with respect to his seat. The King's Letter, ap pointing the Learned Gentleman Judge of the Admiralty Court, reached this country only three days before that fixed upon for the election. Expedition fees were given to the Clerks, and every means— " not prohibited by law"—used in order to have the necessary forms cornr!ied with preparatory to the day ; and everything was completed, and the Patent actually passed under the Great Seal in due time. But ides ! Mr. North neglected being swore, and two eminent Parliament Counsel—we believe Messrs. Adams and Harrison have, it is said, given it as their opinion, that the appointment to office is to be com puted from the period of being sworn in, and not from the date of the Patent—the latter being an imperfect document without the enrolment of swearing being recorded upon it. If this be the case, Mr. North has only one of two alternatives ; be must either vacate his seat, and take the chance of a new election, or he must give up the place end continue the honour of being the Representative of the Venerable Archdeacon Singleton—without a salary for his trouble.—Star of Brunswick. under the new Annuity Act hare laid out 15,000 L in the purchase of stock, which is undeistood to be a dis tinct fund, derived from the sale of life annuities. There is still some doubt whether the large fund produced from the sale of annuities ter. minable at fixed periods, is not a plied to the debt owing by the 00. vcrmi,ent to the Bank. No pur hases of stock, certainly, at all cones pending with it in amount, have been made. NEW Po Ltc E.—There are 16 divisions of the police, and each division contains, on an average, 200 men, except the K. in which there are 300. In each division there are 22 serjeants, except the S di. vision, which contains 32; there are also in each division six inspectors and one superintendent. The whole number of privates and serjeants alone, amounts to 3,660, without reckoning the inspectors and superin tend, nts. The greater part of this body of men were necessarily taken from the lower classes of the people, and it can readily be believed that the Commissioners were unable to make strict inquiry into every indi vidual case, and yet there have been very few 'bona 'ids' cases of im. proper behaviour on the part of the men. In each division there:is a defauiter-book, in which the names of the men considered unfit for duty are s titten down and shown to the Commissioners, and they are inune diately discharged. LEVYING TAXES IN PERSIA.—Rabbi Eliazar, who is high priest of the Jews of Shiraz, is the most ignorant man among them. He was made high priest on account of the merits of his de. eeatovi father. He has hit upon a most expeditious method of forcing money from the Jews to pay the fines which the Shah Zadeh of the place exacts upon the slightest occasion. The Shah bas given him the permission of fogging the Jews, if they do not obey him : and as often at hr is bastinadoed by order of the Prince, in order to get money from the )eww—(which is frequently the case)—the Rabbi orders his flock to be also bastinadoed, to compel them to assist him in satisfying the Prince's demands. He was not long ago bastinadoed, and obliged to pay 20,000 rupees, for some alight offence, which of course his unof. tending disciples had to advance for him, on pain of also being made to suffer a certain number Olean* on the bare sob of their feet.— ffro(f's Journal.

Panama conducted the case for the prosecution, and been the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that on the 9th of August last, the prisoner was in the service of Mr. Kingston, who is a chunk and druggist residing in Lower Belgrave-street, Pimlico. Mr. 104 poss having occasion to leave home on the day above mentioned, on mew atonal business, be left his house in the care of the prisoner, and whilst he was absent the robbery was effected. The prisoner having shammed, suspicion naturally rested upon him, and steps were accordinglyt re Lhat i for - his apprebensioo. The numbers of the notes were luckily and having been mentioned in the land-bills, which were offering a reward, the place of the prisoner's residence was discovered.— After he had absconded he took up his abode at a public-house in the neighbourhood of Queen-square, and there he changed one of the stolen notes, and in the sleeping apartment which he occupied, all Mr. King ston's spoons were found. the prisoner, however, bad left town foe Manchester before his residence was ascertained, and a police.offieer was sent thither, aod took him (into custody on the Ibthl of the same month, when, on being searched, a sum was found upon his Creosecutor identified the spoons and notes produced by the officer, and the_prisoner having made no defence, Mr. Justice BAYLIT summed up the evidence.

The declared their Innocence, and received a good clwarater.l Mrs = llers BOLLAND summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty—Death. William Tenant, aged 40, saymaker, was indicted forstealing in the dwelling-house of George Hills, 40 sovereigns, 10 half sovereigns and His. 1 lid. the monies of William Dobson and others. In a second count the money was charged as the property of Mr. Hills. Mr. Clarkson stated the case for the prosecution. The money be. lona to a benefit-society, instituted by staymakas, and the prisoner had been a member of the society, but his name bad been erased from the society's books some time prior to the robbery. He, however, lodged at the public-house called the North Pole. in Oxford-street, where the society met, and on the morning of the 10th of September be was discovered getting into a hackney-coach with the box in which the monies belonging to the society had been dr m t v e e d. dis l t t was right to state, the learned gentleman, in concluding , that an attempt would be made, on the part of the prisoner, to show he bad a claim on the contents of the box. George Hills examined—He is landlord of the North Pole, Oxford. street. The benellt.society of stay.makas bold their meetings at his bone. The box in which the society's monies were deposided was kept in the room in which the society assembled. On the morning of the 10th of the present month, witness was aroused by a ringing of his bell, and learned from a police constable that a man with a box and a cloak, who had come out of the house shortly before. and got into a hackney.cosch, was detained until it should have been ascertained that it was all right. The prisoner bad lodged in witness's house, an hen be went out to the c oac h , the prisoner said, " It's only Windsor," a nick-name by which he was known, and witness replied, "Oh, then its all right,* and the policeman suffered the coach to drive away. The robbery was soon after discovered, and information on the subject was then given to the police. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PRILLIPs—The prisoner bad been member of the society, but had been scratched on the previous night. Thomas Love examined—He is secretary to the society, and left the box properly secured the night prior to the robbery. In the box there was 45L 188. lied. a portion of which was de posi ted in an inner box. The prisoner's name had been erased from the society's books for a vio lation of their rules. Cross.examined by Mr. C.

Dobson, and others, compose the society. Ward the police constable examined.—He stopped the pthosa. and on learning from Mr. Hilh that it was all right, suffered him to go off in the coach. Witness subsequently went to the prisoner's lod. gings in Somer's.town, and there found the box produced, which was broken open. Cross-examined by Mr. C.

By Mr. CLARK/Mr.—He did not consult Mr. Banner until after be had carried the box sway. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he took the box under an im pression that he had a legal interest in lie contents, and for the purpose of forcing the Society to re-instate him. Mr. Robinson, one of Mr. Banner's desks, proved that the prisoner had consulted him, and having been told that he had acted improperly, expressed his readiness to surrender himself up, and restore the box. Before be could surrender, he was taken into custody. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an honest character. Mr. Justice BOSAIRIUZT summed up the evidence. The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Anthony Nynand, aged 22, labourer, was indicted for maliciously eutting James Brown, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.

An old woman, who has several names besides*that of Martha Smith, was charged with having robbed a seaman, somewhat advanced in years, of fifteen pound', which he had that day received at the India House. The seaman told the story of the robbery in a very character istic manner. When he got his wages he went along Leadenhati-street, and an old lady twitched him by the Jacket and said she wanted to have a word with Alm, but he saw she was odd, and he told her he had a wife at home waiting for him, and ma hap the ould lady might have some thing to say to her. Oh, said she, you may have a wife at home, and she ma be a beauty, but my daughter is the most beautiful girl in all Bevis.marks. She is only sixteen years old, and she wants to see you. This description, the seaman said, raised his curiosity, because he wanted to see whether the young lady was as handsome as his wife, and so away be went arm-in-arm with Mrs. Smith but before they visited Bevis.marhs, they just stepped into a publie-house, and tasted the various cordials with which it abounded; so that when they reached the lodgings of Mrs. Smith, the tar was " heavy to sleep," and having forgotten every thing about the daughter, he laid his heed upon the lap of the mother, and wee soon insensible to all that Was passing. When be awoke be found himself alone, lying enithe Soar, and that his bat, which contained all his tree sure,lwas gone. Be bad wrapped up his three 5L notes in $ newspaper and put them into his hat, and he h a d a di s t an t recollection tha l tZ lP Oi r ri lady asked him what news he had for her, and that he took the news. paper out of his bat, and told her she would find all the news she wanted there...(Leughter.)

The Loin Ma Toa—And why didn't you take your wife with you when you watt to receive your money ? The Sailee..-Why, you see, we live in a house that has no lock to it, and so I thought it was better for she to stay at home, because we were to buy things to keep there when I was to rt my mosey. (Laughter.) The Loan IlaToa--Wall„ you are old enough, at all events, to know how to take care of yourwM, but I see you are just as bed as a boy who was robbed the other day of lbl. by awe of a similar cha racter Pray, what will your wife Bar to this ? The Sallot—Aye, please your Lor&bip, there's the worst of its she knows all about it, and she's over there waiting till you are done blow. g ag me up, to blow me up ten times more. (Laughter.) It sneered that the moment the sailor found that be was alone, and that his money was gone, he made a most tremendous noise, and that ow of the °Seen of the Ward, who was passing by Bevis-marks at I the time, ran up to the room, and found him raving about his wife sad his old sweetheert. The prisoner, of course, denied all knowledge of the robbery. She bad, she said, consented to take the sailor borne with her at his sanest request, sad as she fall asleep as well as he, she did not know what hap pened while she was in that state; but she found upon waking that she had lost bee bonnet. There however happened to be no lock to her door, any more than there was to his. The Lain Mason ordered the prisoner to be brought utrpp for ano the: examination, and banded ova the sailor to the astigatlon of his wife. Bovr.esithar.—Nr.

A RAT CAUGHT BY A LIMPST.—Rats are DOW nearly is widely distributed as men and pigs. It is curious to observe the shitb to which they have recourse fa ring subsistence. In maritime places they generally live upon especially limpets, making predatory excursions among the rocks at low water. In one of the re. mote Hebrides, a person going to the ebb to look for crabs found a large rat drowned, and on turning it over was surprised to find that it had been caught by a limpet. This, as every body knows, is a kind of *u rine animal inhabiting a conical shell, which it keeps close to the rock when at rest, but raises when feeding, as well as upon other occasions, at which time it is easily detached by the slightest force,although,when aware of the presence of an enemy, it sticks so fast, as to require a smart blow with a stone, or other instrument, before it can be knocked os— rat bad been prowling about in search of prey, and spyi t u e :itiodl a y . limpet with its shell raised, had attempted to turn it, by his nose under the shell. The limpet, however, being a powerful an had dung fast, and so held the rat by the nose until he was drowned... In commemoration of this achievement, the place was henceforth named the Rat's Cove. EAGLES.—Of the many absurd stories told of eagles, the following, by Von Bub, is not the least remarkable s--" We leaned," says be, " with astonishment that eagles were very much dreaded on these blends r for they are not contented with lambs and smaller ad male, but even attack oxen, and not unfrequently muter them. The manner of their attack is so singular, that we should have doubted the truth of the account, if we had not heard it so circumstantially and dis tinctly confirmed to us E in the same terms, at places a great distance from each other. The eagle plunges itself into the waves, and slier being completely drenched, rolls itself among the sand on the shore dB Its wings are quite covered with sand. It then rises into the sir, and hovers over Its unfortunate victim. When it is close to it, it shakes its wimp, and throws states and sand into the eyes of the ox, and coin re terror of the animal by blows with its pumfal win g .. Th e oxen run about quite raving, and at l ngtfi fall down 'times& or dash themselves to death hem some cliff The= le ttet me elect undisturbed the fruits of his victory." If this tale be teas, the Norwegian eagles must be very different from ours, in respect to m ugs and sagacity ; for the British eagles are so cowardly, that they do net eves vesture to defend their nests against a solitary rocksman, dugling ups a rope, like a spider upon Its thread, and so weak that they new atoms to carry off a lamb unless in windy weather, and from an aniseam As to esgies plunging into the waves with the view of getting assmeled, we are very certain they would be very sorry Is play sea pubs, for every body knows that for a drenched bird it is as imeedias to fly, as for a drunken man to thread a needle.

Magas devoured, before Au. reline, a wild boar, a bog, a sheep, and one hundred loaves, and drank a pipe of wine. Domidus, an Afrima, and Audeboute, King of Eng hind, died at table from eating too much. Roman History furnishes us with several examples of extraordinary drinkers, which it is amusing to quote. Women even addicted themselves to wine; and there have been those who at every health they drank, swallowed as many draughts as there were letters in their names. Peron was made Praetor by Tiberius for basin drank for three nights running. thefts obtained the pro vince of tht for a similar exploit. Novella took down at one dr aug ht three large measures of wine, in the presence of the emperor. 1111 Villain had a Swiss soldier under him who was an enormous ester.

A LACONIC Ranx.—After the short but brilliant !so das fought at Margalef, basun the French under Sachet, and the Spaniards under Henry O'Donnell, hi which the latter were defeated, the Commander-in-Chief bf the French arm y addressed a letter to the Governor of Lerida , which place he was then besieging; and in order to add some positive fact to the common-place language of every summate to surrm. , which is a mere expression of a desire to avoid the ueeks effusion of human blood, be proposed that the Government should sad one or more commissioners to the field of battle of Margaiel. and to the bead -quarters, that he might satisfy himself as to the number of killed, wounded, and prisoners. The reply was truly h eath, and faithfully pommy, the character of a nation which can. not be denied the possession of dignified and elevated sentiment. It was, word for word, as follows " Lerida, 24th April, 1810.- General, this town has never reckoned upon the assistance of any army.

If the result had corresponded with this language, end if the characters who appear on the public scene could be judged by the tribunel of history by the words they have spoken, the above might be worthy of being quoted at the same time with the remarkable expressions which Roue a nd fires have handed down to our admiration.
