THE KING. The folloµ•ing Bulletin was issued yesterday : " Windsot Castle, June 6, 1830. " The Km; has been less embarrassed In his breathing; and his MAJESTY slept at intervals last night. (Signed) " HENRY HA LFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." The Duke of Clarence arrived at the Castle about half-past twelve o'clock yesterday morning, and had an interview with his Majesty for some hours. The Duke of Cumberland also visited the King yesterday. Sir Robert Peel had an audience of his .Majesty yesterday, which lasted about an hour. The utmost anxiety pre vailed yesterday to see the Bulletin at St. James's Pa lace: the throng was immense ; so much so, that the Palace could not be cleared till near an hour after the usual time. It was calculated there were at least 25,000 persons passed through the rooms. Lord Clinton and Sir William Houston were the Lord and Groom in wait ing. On Saturday Earl Fife and Colonel Whateley were the Lord and Groom. The Bishop of Chichester offers up prayers daily with his Majesty. The Duke of Wel lington arrived at the Palace at twelve o'clock on Satur ►lay, and had an audience of the King. BIRTH-DAY OF THE DUKE OF CU3IBERLAND. Saturday was the birth-day of the Duke of CUMBER LAND, when his Royal Highness completed his fifty ninth year. The members of the Royal Family came from their respective residences to Kew, and congratu lated his Royal Highness on the auspicious event. About two o'clock the Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duchess of KENT, and the Princess VICTORIA, the Princess Av- GUSTA, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and Prince LEOPOLD, arrived. A salute was fired from small cannon on Kew Green, on the arrival of each of the Royal Family. The Prussian Minister came from town to pay his respects to his Royal Highness. About two o'clock a grand dejeune was served to the royal party. The Royal Duke gave a substantial dinner to one hun dred and sixty poor men and women of the neighbour hood, on Kew Green : after dinner rustic sports com menced on the Green, and prizes were awarded to the successful competitors in the different games. The Royal Family left about five o'clock; their departures were announced by salutes from small cannon. In the evening the houses of many of the inhabitants were brilliantly illuminated in honour of the day ; there was also a display of fireworks. On Friday evening his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester honoured the French Plays with his presence, to see Mademoiselle Irma perform in Le Mariage, et Les Suites du Mariage du Raison, and Messrs. Laporte and Ponchard in Picaros et Diego. A Cabinet Council was summoned by the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday evening, to be held at the Foreign Office yesterday afternoon. It was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earle BATIIURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Viscount MELVILLE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Sir G. MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, and Mr. HER MES. Sir ROBERT PEEL was absent, having left town in the morning to attend his Majesty at Windsor. The Council broke up at five o'clock. Sir ROBERT PEEL entertained a select party to din ner yesterday, at his residence in Privy Gardens. The Duke of WELLINGTON, on his return to town from visiting his MAJESTY on Saturday afternoon, was visited at Apeley House by Sir ROBERT PEEL and others of the Cabinet Ministers. Viscount MILTON, M.P. the Hon. W. DUNCOMBE, M.P. and Mr. J. MARSHALL, M.P. three of the Members for Yorkshire, had a conference with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 011 Saturday, at the Treasury, respecting the duty on tobacco. A deputation of the West India Planters and Mer chants, headed by the Marquess of Cli AN DOS, as Chair man of the Committee, had by appointment a very long conference with Mr. H E It RIEB, on Saturday, at the Office of the Board of Trade. The deputation included the Earl of HA REIS ooD, Lord HOLLAND, Lord SEAFORD, and several Agents for the Colonies. The Austrian Ambassador and the Spanish Minister had interviews on Saturday, with the Earl of ABERDEEN ut the Foreign Office. The Duke of NEWCASTLE entertained a distinguished party of Nobility with a grand dinner on Saturday, at his Grace's mansion in Portman-square. Lansdowne House was crowded on Friday night, on the occasion of the Marquis and Marchioness of LANS.. 00W N E'S first rout for the season. There are strange and mysterious rumours abroad re specting the present state of parties in England. Coali tions, unexpected and unpromising, are already in train of formation. The approach of a general election gives rapidity and energy to the secret operations of those mo dern cabals. The combiaed influence of interests hitherto scattered will now be powerfully exerted to promote ob jects upon which, at last, without any very new motive, they appear to agree in common. The permanency of the existing administration, and the settlement of the future succession, are the topics of vital importance upon hich the leaders of the projected divided opposition are said to be engaged. Terms, it is understood, are to be proposed to the Premier as the conditions of his continu ance in office ; and, in the event of rejection at his hands —the inevitable result—a Minister, in all respects his inferior, is already named to the anticipated vacancy. Did we feel ourselves justified in entering upon a prema ture exposition, we might, perhaps, explain away these obscurities; but we feel the difficulties of the crisis, and choose the more delicate course—silence.—Atlas. The following form of Prayer for the recovery of our Most Gracious Sovereign was read in all the English and German Jews' synagogues throughout the United Kingdom on Saturday. A copy of a form of prayer, said to be used on the above occasion, has appeared In some of the Sunday papers, which is incorrect from the beginning to the end. " 0 King of kings, whose eyes are ever regarding the ways of mankind, through thee do princes rule and guide thy flock of nations: thou 'lost lead their hearts according to their desire, and with thee alone are their casualties and destine nations. Incline thine ear, we beseech thee, to the voice and cry of thy people of Israel, who in this small temple, as before the seat of thy glory, supplicate and Pray for our Lord the King, whose sufferings are our Olio tron. 0 ! thou who with thy grace bast hitherto sup ported his throne, support him now, we pray thee, on the bed of sickness. Send him aid from thy holy mei denee ; strengthen his spirit, and let thy comfort delight his soul. 0 ! waft over him the light of thy counte nance, and we shall be saved. Strengthen the weak hand, fortify the feeble knee, and restore him to com plete health. Prolong the King's life ; extend his years, and let thy mercy and truth guard him even until hoary age, that the government rest upon his shoulders, and the flourish upon him for evermore." The above composed by the Rev. Solomon Herschel!, .:.rte Nothing has been heard of the French exhibition since its sailing, excepting that of the frigate La Duchene de Berri, having seen the fleet two days after its sailing, 20 leagues S.W. of Toulon, then having a fair wind. On the landing of the army a Newspaper will be established, with the title of " L'F.stafette d'Alger (The Algiers Express) ; this will supply the news of the army, and will be edited by M. Merle, Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief. Letters from Captain Maiaieu de Clerdal, the Commander of the French division blockading Algiers, state that on the 14th, lath, ' and 16th of May last, there prevailed in the neighbouring coast of that city, winds of extraordinary violence, which compelled him to put out to sea with the vessels then under him. The same letters express the greatest uneasiness respecting the brigs La Spene and L'Aventure, which were said to have been stranded near Cape Brigut. There is also too much reason to believe that the two brigs-of-war, the Faune and Palinure, have been wrecked in the Bay of Algiers, and that such portion of the crews as did not pe. rish in the sea, were barbarously murdered by the Algerines. The Albatross, tender to the Hecla, arrived on Tuesday from Sierra Leone, which port she left on the 26th March. She sailed for Woolwich, to be discharged from the service. We have subse quent letters from Sierra Leone, of the 10th of April, at which time the Primrose and Medina sloops of war, and the Black Joke tender, were there, all In tolerably good health ; together with six slave vessels which had been captured. The Branches freight-ship, for Quebec, put in here with contrary winds on Wednesday, with detachments on board of the 71st and 79th regiments. Tuesday, the Hope transport, Lieut. Pritchard, agent, put in, bound to Plymouth, to convey to Chatham the re serve companies of the 96th regiment ; and the Alellish, female con vict ship, for Van Diemen's Land, yesterday, with 132 women and 61 children, under the superintendence of Mr. John Love, surgeon, R.N. She sailed this evening for her destination. Notwithstanding the blowing weather of Tuesday, the American packet Corinthian, for New York, persisted in going to sea, with a full cargo of passengers, and in defiance of a strong westerly wind, made good her passage down Channel. We find arrangements are making for establishing a similar regular communication between this port and Philadelphia. Major General Campbell, Deputy Ai.jutant General of the Royal Marines, has arrived here this week to make his half-yearly inspection of this division of that corps. To-day the Major General inspected the gua and mortar practice of the Royal Marine Anil. lery, of which he spoke in high terms. On Monday he will inspect the Royal Marines and Royal Marine Artillery in brigade, on Southsea Common.—Hattopsiare Teleyraph. The Duke of Wellington has expressed himself, in private circles, with great warmth against Prince Leo pold, on account of his rejection of the Sovereignty of Greece, after the difficulty which his Grace had sus tained in inducing the King to concur in the proposal of conferring it upon his Royal Highness. It is doubted whether the Prince has actually joined the opposition ' which is forming to the Duke's administration. We do not know what may cause this doubt ; but this we know, that a powerful party think they see enough in what has recently transpired seriously to inculpate the Ministry ; and a Noble Earl, no tyro in politics, has given it as his opinion that enough is known to effect their overthrow. We are enabled positively to state, that no successor to Prince Leopold has been appointed as Prince Sovereign of Greece.—Sunday Times. TILE HEIR PRESUMPTIVE AND Ills FAMILY.-- His Royal Highness was united to the Princess Adelaide Louisa Theresa Caroline Amelia, eldest daughter of the late and sister of the reigning Duke of Saxe Meininizen, 11th of July, 1818, when the Duke was in his 53rd year, and the Princess in her 26th. The issue of this marriage was the Princess Charlotte Augusta, born and died the 27th of March, 1819, and the Princess Eliza beth Georgina Adelando, born the 10th of December, 1820, died the 4th of March in the following year. The Earl of Errol, the Hon. John Erskine Kennedy (second son of Earl Casaillis), Mr. Philip Sydney (the Member for Eye, and only son of Sir James Sydney, Bart.), and Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Fox, of the 34th Regiment of Foot, stand in the relation of sons-in-law to the illus trious Duke, having married the Misses Elizabeth, Au gusta, Sophia, and Mary Fitzclarence, his Royal High ness's daughters. Colonel Fitzclarence, of the 7th Fu sileers, married in 1821 Lady Augusta Boyale, daughter of the Earl of Glasgow, and Colonel George Fitzclarence is son-in-law to the Earl of Egremont. Capt. Adolpus Fitzclarence, R.N. and the Rev. Augustus Fitzclarence, rector of Maple Durham, are unmarried. The vacant piece of ground in St. James's-street, op posite Arthur's Club, has been taken for the purpose of building a betting-room, to rival, or rather draw sway, the company from Tattersall's. An Italian paper (the Diario di Roma) records the conversion of four Jews, and describes the pompous ce remony which took place on the occasion, in the Basilica of St. John Lateran, under the immediate direction of the Vicar-General. The age of one of the holy converts is not mentioned; but those of the other three respectively were ten, seven, and three years ! Perhaps the fourth was of so tender an age that the record of the conversion was not deemed likely to cast much credit on the con verters ! I Mary Anne Paton was born in October, 1802. Her father was a teacher of writing and mathematics in Edinburgh, and his classes were so numerously attended, that for a considenible time he was in the receipt of about 2,000 per annum. Unfortunately for himself and his family, he entertained peculiar notions regarding the Christian dispensation, and was not content with the enjoyment of that liberty which :the chief criminal judge of this country on the occasion of a late trial stated to be the right of every British sub. jeer—thinking as he pleased, provided he kept his thoughts to himself. Mr. Pawn, on the contraty, did not confine his opi. nions on this most important subject to his own bosom. Orthodoxy took the alarm, and he gradually lost that professional connexion which his talents and manners had acquired. Mary Anne at a very early age evinced a love fur music that gave promise of future emi. nence. Her natural taste was fostered and cultivated by her mother, who was herself an excellent singer ; and with so much success that , while yet a mere child her extraordinary proficiency reached the ear " of the Duchess of Buecleugh, who offered her patronage for a public concert, and her infant syren appeared before an Edinburgh audience I as a singer, an elocutionist, and a half player, before she was eight years of age. A highly successful debut decided her future pursuits., The study of music became the great object of her being, engross. ing, even at that infantile age, all her thoughts and occupying all , her time. Her devotion enabled her to triumph over all technical difficulties with very little assistance from masters. Some time after her appearance in Edinburgh, Mr. Paton removed with his family to London, where he opened an academy, and Mary Aim continued her studies under her father's roof, with no other assistance from professors than an occasional hint from Crenelli. She wished to place herself under the tuition of Mr. Bishop, but he declined receiving her as a pupil, and she met with • similar repulse from some other eminent professors, who gave her no reason to expect success. For three years did she offer her gratuitous services at almost every theatre in town, without finding a manager who would run the risk of allowing her an appearance. At last, however, Morris consented, and she ap peared at the Haymarket on the 3d of August, 1821, as Susamtak in the Marriage of Figaro, and a few nights after as Rosisi, in the Barber of Seville. She was most favourably received, and gave earnest of all those transcendent powers which have since acquired for her the high distinction of being the first British vocalist of the age. She was Immediately engaged at Covent Garden Theatre. where she appeared on the 19th of October following, as Polly, in the Beggar's Opera. Her subsequent career is sufficiently known to the public. Lord William Lennox was one of those sprigs of fashion who had the privilege of the entree at the theatre. Miss Pa. ton was, of course the object of universal admiration, and of his lordship's most assiduous attentions; but as his intentions did not at first appear in the character they afterwards assumed, they were indignantly repulsed, and on more than one occasion his lordship was threatened with chastisement from her friends. In 1824, how. ever, a marriage between the parties took place, but under circum. stances so mysterious, as for a time to depnve the lady of the society of her own family, although the public acknowledgment of the mar. riage has since removed their objections. Lady Lennox has two sisters, Isabella and Eliza. The former Is already known to the play.going portion of the public as a singer of considerable musical talent. The youngest resides with her parents at Edinburgh, and, though a proficient in music, has a great aversion to the stage, and practises merely as a concert singer and teacher.— r unday Paper. A N Ex: alh to the state- ,PERIENCED EDITOR.—In allusion ments regarding Miss Pawn's affair, the Evening Packet says:—" We are very much charmed with the account of the reception of this amiable and interesting lady, whose delicate situation has inspired every feeling breast at this side of the British channel with warm sympathies. The conduct of a portion of the London Press towards Miss Paton, under her present domestic affliction is, in our opinion, highly reprehensible. If our contemporaries had formed notions similar to ours on the subject of fa mily quarrels, they would have steered a widely different course : the conviction upon our minds is, that out of every twenty bad, or undutiful, or truant wives, nineteen have been made so by their husbands ; and this convic tion is not the result of any pre-conceived partiality for the tender sex, but the result of experience."—What • happy circle the writer must have moved in! Sir H. Graham, Bart. of Walbrook, London, another claimant for the titles and honours of " Earl of Annan dale and Hartfell, Viscount Annan, and Baron Johnstone of Lockwood, &c." has petitioned his Majesty on the subject. His Majesty directed the petition to be for warded to the House of Lords ; and their Lordships, on Thursday, directed the same to be referred to the Com mittee of Privileges. Last week a musical performance of rather a novel description took place at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. The performer was Michael BOAI, and his instrument his chin, played upon by the knuckles of his two fists.— The tones which he produces are something similar to the castinets, and the compass of his instrument, if we may so speak, is very great. He executed several airs with variations with a rapidity, precision, and expression, ex tremely surprising, considering the means which he em ploys. A guitar and violin accompanied the performer. %ladame V eta ais and Mr. AN n FAWN gave a public pool of their reconciliation on Saturday night : the opera of Guy Mannering was played, for the first time since the very rid h!tdous display of mutual animosity. It turns out that they are now sensible that they were made fools of by some designing enemies ; but this was surely no rea son why they should make fools of themselves. They seemed amazingly fond of each ether on Saturday night ; and %%lien Ax nettsow first came on the stage, he seized and clasped the hand of " our talented vocalist" (as WA 1.- LACK calls her) with both his, and pressed it to his breast, with a fervour that was exceedingly amiable—if not amiable in the French sense of the word. The lady, on her part, appeared " nothing coy ;" and we wore never more strongly reminded of the old proverb—amantium iree, 4-c. Their duets were charmingly harmonious. Sontag, when she leaves Berlin, intends visiting War saw, St. Petersburgh, and Moscow. She returns by Hamburg!), where she will perform, and then pay one visit to this country, which it is said will be her last. The relatives of her Count Ron i, as well as himself, have, according to report, refused to ac knowledge the legality of the marriage on account of her not being able to boast a descent from nobi lity. This is the very perfection of absurdity fully rais ed to the tenth power ! A Sicilian Count—a title which may he had for a few hundred crowns—who never would have been heard of beyond the coast of Calabria but for his union with a beautiful girl of the highest talent,—a man who, but fur this match, so fortunate for him, must I have lived and died iu poverty and obscurity—hesitates • to ratify a marriage which g i v es him at once youth, I beauty, independence, and a name.—Harmorticms. i)r e ay c e r r ow w n fi aec o o un - m 'sh . DOVER, June 6. His Majesty's mail packet Salamander, Captain Hxxivrow, arrived this day from Calais, and brought his I xcellency the Count MATOUSREWITZ, Ambassador from Russia to our Court. His Excellency and suite, on landing, went to Wright's Ship Hotel, where they are waiting the arrival from town of his Excellency the Prince LIEVEN, which is momentarily expected. A guard of ho. nour is stationed before the Hotel, and the usual salutes were tired. In the same packet came Monsieur DE LINA, of the Brazilian embassy ; the Earl and Countess of CLARENDON t Mr. and Mfr. MITCHELL and family ; Mr. and Mrs. BALL Htteuks, &e. &c. Wright's Hotel, which always presents an animated appearance, has this day been unusually gay, from the great number of noble families arriving from and going to the Continent. Among the latter is Lord ALBERT CONTNOHAY, who has specially freighted a steam packet, and sails to-night. The superiority of our mail packets, and eligibility of this route, to and from France, are so clearly established by the preference shown to them, that we, in consequence, have never had to boast of so many distinguised personages, passing through here as now, when every other channel is open. NA VAL INTELLIGENCE. The Belle Francoise, Gorsey, from Rochfort to Hamburgb, was abandoned on the let inst. off Heligoland, being in a sinking state. The following arrivals have taken place :—The Manchester, from Lima ' off Holyhead ; the Mary Scott, Renard, from New Orleans; L ' atona Sterling, from New York • Bolivar M' Donald, from Savannah; Washington, Willis, from biladelpila ; and the Belem Castle, Dennis, from Lisbon, all at Liverpool. The wreck of the Means. was fallen in with on the lath ult. in lat. 45. long. 49. The Bridport, Rumney, from Inverness to Shields, ran on the Herd Sand on Friday, and bilged. Crew saved.

We are sorry to find the net:tufty of watching our interests at Al giers, pending the present blockade and expected siege, has caused us the loss of a frigate. The Rattlesnake, 28 guns, Captain the Honourable C. 0. Bridgeman, has been wrecked in Algiers bay, in the same gale of wind that drove two French men.of.war ashore either on the 14th, 15th, or 16th ult. From the Friendly disposi tion shown to Englishmen by the Dey of Algers, we hope such as. sistance was rendered to the crew as to avert the loss of lives. LARDNER'S CYCLOPEDIA. The fast volume of the geographical portion of the, Cabinet Cyclopedia, containing an account of the cities and principal towns in the world, is really a valuable ad dition to its predecessors, and has been got up in very au perio: style : the graphic illustrations being among the beet executed we have seen in any similar production.-- To rove that the learned compiler has not confined him self to a dry detail of public buildings, take the following specimen illustrative of the architectural taste of our Cockney ancestors:— " The Royal Exchange, the foundation of which was an act of memorable patriotism by a private citizen, Sir Thomas Gresham, is entered by a detached Corinthian portico at its principal front in Corr:hill. The new entablature, balustrade, bas-reliefs, statues and tower, add greatly to its favourable appearance. The Guild hall of the City of London is chiefly distinguished by its spacious and splendid hall, used for city entertainments. The Mansion. house, occupied by the Lord Mayor for the time being, has a large and lofty portico, is a huge pile, and looks, according to Ralph, in his Ooservations,' &e. as if it were built by a ship carpenter.' The celebrated amateur architect, Lord Burlington, to whose taste London is indebted for some fine private mansions, sent the corpo ration an original design by Palladio. Who is this Palladio ?Is he a freeman ?' said a civic cogooscento. He was answered in the negative. A discussion arose, lasted for some time, was then abruptly terminated by somebody's saying, Palladio was a papist ;' and the result was the building of the present Alansion-house by the City architect." LADY WILLIAM LENNOX. BOGNOR IN AN UPROAR. FURTUEIIt PARTICULARS OF TIRE SOINDLIXO TaimAcTiox. IN THE NAME OT THE DUCHESS or LENT. Last week a person professing himself to be acting for the Duchess of Kent, and stating that he was her Royal head cook, applied to several lodging-house keepers at for residences fur the Duchess and her suite; and he mit: ti:v entered into a written agreem ent with Mr. Binstesd fo r th e et:* cupatlon of Sudley L odge, erected by Richard Groom, Esq. of Russell-square, London, for four months from the 2d of Jane, Mr. Binstead being Mr. Groom's agent; and he pretended that all his movements were directed by Sir John Conroy, her Royal Hisb o ness's Chamberlain. He brought Mr. White, of Chichester, to or, and gave him directions to fit up certain additional beds at Su rey Lodge, and invited him to dinner at the Claremont llo tel ; but on going away he was kind enough to request Mr. White to draw his purse-strings to pay for the dinner ! He also commenced a domicile at Sudley Lodge, sent in wines, fice. and invited Mr. Ein. stead to dine with him there, and disdained not to prepare, with his own hands, the pies that were to grace and adorn the repast. The tradesmen of the place attended him, cap in band, with cards, en. treating fur her Royal Highness's custom and patronage, and to these this dexterous manager politely addressed himself, stating that it was her Royal Highness's intention to select no one in particular, but to deal with all and each by turn ! Of Mr.ll'hite, until a banker was selected through whom the household expenses were to be paid, he kindly borrowed two sovereigns, and as his portmanteau was not yet arrived, and his lower garments and vest wanted re. plenishing, he procured Mr. Richards, a tailor, at Bognor, to furnish these particulars, for which ready money was promised. In slice, he subsequently declared that he never met with such good-natured people as those of Bognor and Chichester, and he should ever entertain the highest respect for the confidence they reposed in him. A day of reckoning, however, was fast approach ing, which was at once to dash to the ground all the fond hopes of the Bognor folk, to see her Royal Highness among them once more, and arrest the progress of duplicity exercised by this pseudo ceuk. An express, on Saturday, anived at Chichester describing the person of this worthy, who had been playing off certain delusive tricks ,ten the same kind at Guildford, in consequence of which Mr. Pasco, of the Chichester police, was on the alert to catch him, and he was accordingly taken into custody to the great astonial.ment and dit•nety of the gulls at Bognor and Chichester, at a place called IJray ton, sear the former place, and sent to Chichester to undergo a little cross-questioning before the Magistrates of that town, which ulti mately terminated in his commitment to the common gaol, to take his trial at the next sessions, on the prosecution of Mr. White, fur obtaining the two sovereigns under false pretences ; but he was tir•t compelled toelivest himself of his newly-purchased inexpressible and waiteuat (having the old ones in a bund*) and they were delivered up to Mr. Rickards. It appeared on the examination of the pri soner, that his name was Janes Andrews, and it is believed that he formerly had been in the service of the Duchess of Kent, whose life he asserts he once saved on an occasion of imniinent danger, but who, from his abandoned course of life, has properly ceased to hu. nour him with further notice. It also appears that he is the -ann. person who last year played off the same tricks on the people at Broadstairs, and the year before at Hastings. Tut WE AT II n.—June was ushered in with a shower of snow ! For some days previous, the weather was ex ceedingly cold and boisterous, and in the Highlands thr drifting snow compelled the people who were busy cast ing peats in some places to leave the moors. On Friday, the Caledonian coach drove upwards of twenty miles of the road betwixt Blair and Inverness through snow ; and some of the higher range of the Grampians appeared in the same covering. The unseasonableness of the wea ther has not, however, affected the appearance of the crops : potato planting is every where finished, and the sowing of Swedish turnip is going actively forward. Perth Courier. A DONNYBROOK SCENE IN LEITH.—An Irish bap tism took place in Scott's-close, Water-lane, Leith, on Sunday, at which no less than twenty emerald islanders were present, After the young un had gone through the ceremony, nothing would serve the Patlanders but they must celebrate the occasion, and wet their whistles with genuine Inishowen, which one of the number (a recent importation from the mountains of Mourne), had brought along with him. The potent liquor had imme diate effect, and, Irish like, shillelahs, pokers, arms of chairs, et hoc genus, were in Instant requisition. Men, women, and children, in one vast chaos of confusion, rushed to the combat, and such a scene ensued as baffles description. The whole close was a perfect Donnybrook fair. Ultimately, the police succeeded in taking the more uproarious into custody, not, however, without re ceiving some severe contusions, independent of being delightfully scalded with hot water, thrown at and upon them by an old hag, who was noticed to have been parti cularly active in the melee. A devil's dozen of the rioters were sentenced to sixty days at the treadmill, a tolerably severe sentence. ED AND DUE TH A.
