DUBLIN, DEC. 26. ........._ A great deal of conversation took place Isere this day the arr i va l of English letters, supposed to be of *film. r m . in the isaktef, and stating that the new Lord Lieu. : et ; sn r would not be able to come to this country. from ;b e n or some other motive. This in elli,4ersce °cat. sinne d s ome regret, as it was expected here that the would tread in the steps of hi s pre 'rquit of Anglesey demos ., and, " by affording a triumph to neither of the „. r ies in the tountry." work for the ultimate advantage W A . .Eut I am enab'ed to state, that the rumour gibe Marquis of Anglesey's not coming hither is un ded, At the office of Sir William Betham, Ulster lat Arms. orders were received yeseerd.y t h at the R ega l apartments, both at th e C as tl e an d at t h e f ice a lod g e in the Phceoix Park, should be in readiness fat the rti eption of the Marquis of Anglesey by the 15th o f oat January. This intelligence may be depended 0 , as I have it from the best authority. And, as • clat i ou sion of it, it may be added, that Sir Willies p ag e, brother to the Marquis, has been appointed to ow ed Admiral Plampin, the Commander of the Naval Swim at Cork. I , General Meeting of Catholics unconnected with y e Catholic Association, was held this day, at which it vas resolved to call upon the different parishes through. an Deland to assemble, all on the. same day, to peels on Peiliement. The day filed on is the 6th of J a w!, when, aftrr mass in all the Roman Catholic park, it is intended that simultaneous meetings :NM b e h e ld, at which thePriesta are to preside, and Petitions ig f aux i pat ioa will be presented and signed. It has i u ndetermined that a petition similar to that which :owed the remarkable discussion in the Sessional igye 6, between Mr. Spring Rice and Mr. George Dam. sus, on the subject of the Treaty of Limerick, is to be rattusted to the latter Gentleman foe presentation a' yea Commons, and to the Earl of Kingston in the House /f Lards. ......A_._.-. THEATRES. tOVENt-GARDEN. The Opera of Love in a V'ill'age was last light performed in a manner which gave great satis faction to a ctowded houses The part of Youmg Mee. asswar,lbt - the first time, represented by Mr. SAM). I ss ued with easy confidence, and sang ,with much nee and expression. We have rarely heard the air. Still in hopes," given with more truth or energy. A Gentleman of the name of WOOD appeared, for the first time on these boards, in the character of Hawthorn. It was a successful debut. Mrs Woon possesses a good stage person: in figure he is rather tall, and his emo te:axe is animated and expressive. His Voice is a tenor, of good compass and of good quality. After he bad evercome the fears almost necessarily attendant on Int appearance, he showed that he could manage well the powers with which nature had gifted him. Be sang, very tenderly and beautifully. the plaintive' • oi My Dolly was the fairest thing."' This feeling appeal to the heart was loudly encored ; and, more than say oilier of his efforts, evinced a correct and well altivated taste. Mr. W. FA MORN'S Justice Woods.** though not so richly comic as that of MUSD'', at Doaror, was amusing. Mr. FARREN'S spare person duo not convey to the eye (whatever his acting may do to the mind) a vivid idea of the amorous old Ma gistrate. Miss HUGHES was a pleasing, but not se efficient a Rosetta as we had anticipated. There was, both in her acting and singing. a languor rather incer aistent with the character of a lively and romantic girl. Aunt Deborah experienced no diminution of her cos. hatireness in the hands of Mrs. Davamroar. who is the best of shrews on the stage, and the most good hta Moored of women off it. Miss Kat.Lr's Madge was inimitable. Her jealousy of Hodge, and her affected ceeteaspt of that rural seducer, in the dancing scene, were perfectly natural. She invented new business la the scene to which we have alluded, business; so effee• use, that we would advise all future personator, .1 this rustic part to study it closely. When we first 'awl Mr. KlUtLii in Hodge, he played the character well I bat he is sew infinitely more entertaining tban he was origisally ? --The Opera was given out for repaid's* Werlaesday, • ith universal approbation.

The Magic Bogor, Harlequin and the Herded Hall, followed& and the tricks and pranks of Harlefatix and antra drew forth peals of laughter. The dancing of Mrs. Saaaras and bee Pupils was eacellent, and gave Beat satisfaction. Dispatches, dated the 25th of Sept. were received latterday morning, at the Colonial Office, from Lieut.- Gen.

On Christmas Day, a most awful and ►triking in. stance of the truth of the words---" In the midst of life we are in death," occurred at Wennington, near lively, in this county, in the person _of the Rev. Martin Wise man. who had been for many years Curate of those parishes. The deceased, after having gone through the service of the day, and preached a Sermon with some what more than his usual energy, had gone to the altar for the purpose of administering the Sacrament. He had consecrated the bread, and was proceeding to con• secrate the wine, u hen, at the instant after he had pro nounced the words "Likewise after supper he took the cup," and was in the act of putting out his hand to reads the chalice, he fell down in front of the table, and, withtsut uttering a syllable or a groan, expired. Medical aid was procured. but to no avail. The deceased, who was upwards of 70 years of age, has left an only daughter to lament his loss, though not to bewail his end. PORT OF LIVERPOOL.

MARSHAL'S.% Partion.—lnsmedjately after Divine Servke.onChristmas Day, the Deputy Marshal, JOSEPH RUTLAND, Esq. superintended the distribution to every debtor within the Prison (106 in number), of a pottioit of meat, a loaf of bread, three pints of porter, and a shilling in money, being the munificent and liberal do nation of the Lord Steward of his MaJeary's House hold. The greatest order and decorum wet* observed by all the debtors, who thus evinced their g. mita& for his Lordship's timely and benevolent supply. It is pretty generally known that the fork, which is now so universally adopted with knives at our tables, was introduced into this country from Italy, by the cele brated traveller Coriat, about 1609, and who was called rcifer, from using this implement. The spring guard, which is now so commonly affixed to our carving forks, is a modern improvement ; and it may be entertaining to many fork users, as well as fork makers, to be in formed that we are indebted to the ingenuity of a cutler of the name of Barnett, who resided at Warwick, for the introduction of an appendage, which, as most per sons must have observed, is equally simple and useful. The Vale of Llanrwst, so justly celebrated for its beautifully romantic scenery and varied landscape, has been visited by one of those periodical inundations which create a striking resemblance in the scene to a view in the Alpine regions of Germany, occasioned by, as avalanche. The storm of. Tuesday night, the 18th inst. caused such a rush from the mountain lakes into the Conway, that soon made it overflow its banks, and overspread the vale. The sight of the majestic current rushing swift as an arrow under Llanrwst. bridge, was inconceivably grand, and even terrific on the following morning; and about twelve o'clock, being high water of a very high spring tide, it spread itself ' considerably, reaching just to the very wall of Gwydir Castle, and intruding into many houses in the town.— The view from Trefriw of the lower part of the vale presented an awful scene of desolation. All the high one:rands or embankments constructed along the river side, bad disappeared in the overwhelming fl iod, and now that it bas partly subsided, they havrbeen entirely washed away in several places. On Wednesday the roads on both sides of the wale were ;otdated to some depth, and quite impassable; and even now, after the lapse of four or five days, nothing is sees bit the tops o f the traces's'', water in one lease portion of the valley. • A.

Yesterday afternoon a Coroner's Jury assembled in the Committee Room of St.Ulave's poor hoe , e, Parish street, Horselydown, to inquire the cause of the death of a poor woman picked up in the street on Wednesday night, in the greatest ext►emity, and who tkpirtd in the watchhouse of the parish the following morning. John Hart, servant to Mrs. Aylmer, spirit-dealer. the corner of Parish•street, rated that the d*cea'ed came into his salstten's shop on Wednesday evening last, be tween eight and nine o'clock. She was perfectly sober, and complained of being ill, and a person in the shop gave het a glass of wine, from motives of compassion. She left shortly after. He had fiequendy seen her, but I did not know her name. The watchman, who found the deceased, was about to be sworn, when it being intimated to the Coroner. Mr. SHILTOM, that several persons were in attendance ready to swear that the deceased had been cruelly used by him, they were ordered to be brought forward, and Mary Ann Noble being questioned, said, she saw the watchman between nine and ten with the deceased upon his back, going Awards the watchbouse; that an acquaintance met him and said. 4 4 Never mind her, come away, and I'll give you a glass of gin," when he. the watchman, let go the deceased's hands, *Adria fell to the ground, exclaiming, « I'm dying, my legs bare burst ; must I expire in the street?' and that on several persons remonstrating with him on his inhumanity, he shamefully abused them, and went away. Several other women made similar statements, one adding that she saw the deceased two hours after, sitting "n the steps of a door, covered with blood. Mr. SIIIILTON, under these circumstances, adjourned the inquiry till the body should be opened, and the utmost evidence obtained. An Inquest was yesterday held at the Golden Lion. Dean -street, Soho, on a female (name unknown) who, it was reported in the neighbourhood, had been run over by a Gentleman's carriage.—Mr, Thomas Dean, of Dean -street, Sobo, deposed to the deceased being ' broufht into his shop on Wednesday afternoon, in the agonies of death. She expired almost immediately.— On examination be found a bruise on the right temple, and, on opening the scalp, found it extensively separated from the cranium, with a great effusion of blood; the lower jaw was also broken; blood was-also effused on the ventricles of the brain, and the windpipe contained a considerable quantity of blood ; the immediate cause of death was the injury on the brain.—The Cottons* remarked, that it would be impossible to return a ver dict without further evidence, and as it was proved that the unfortunate woman bad died from violence, if they adjourned, and the press gave publicity to the circum stances, he bad no doubt they would have sulfic'ent evidence.—Adjourned until Monday evening. INQUESTS NT Ma. CAMS. At Charlinch„ Bridgewater, on Joseph Sully, aged 63. The deceased was employed on Thursday, with another man, in rooting up and throwing down an ash tree, which fall. ing before it was expected, and in a contrary direction from that which was intended, fell acress the body of the deceased, whereby he was so dreadfully crushed that he expired on Saturday.—At North Petherton, on Francis Richards, sged ten months. The death of this child was rather singular, having fallen on his face into a frying pan just taken off the fire, in which there was a quantity of fat, nearly in a boiling state. The acci dent happened on the 7th inst. at which time the suf ferings of the infant were very great; but he soon be. ' came tranquil, and continued so until Sunday, when he suddenly expired.—Verdict on each case, " Accidental Death."—Taunton Courier. During the early periods of the siege of the castle of Burgos, a single Frenchman, who took an unerring aim, wounded an extraordinary number of the befesers. He remained patiently concealed for hears together behind the stockade, used as a flank to the outer wall, with the muzzle of his piece directed on the sap, through an opening in the palisades. His companions, by lifting up a hat, throwing over stones, or making a great noise, eyed at intervals to draw the attention of the workmate or guard to a different part of the wall, wl.en they too frequently forgot the fatal musket, exposed themselves to view, and were invariably shot. Thursday week, as the Rev. B. Thornhill was oot shooting in the neighbourhood of Strewn, with the son of Mr. Ashby, of Hall End, near Bakewell, the latter having just passed through a hedge, was in tt , e act of holding asi.te the brambles to facilitate Mr. Thornhill's passage, when the trigger of his gun came in contact with some part of the fence, and the piece went off. The contents of the gun carried away she brim of Mr. Thornhill's hat, his coat collar, and the lower part of one check.— York Chroaieie. Sunday night, as the **rowan conveying the convicts from Newgate to the Hulks at Sheerness, was proceed ing to that place.

Tuesday evening some daring burglars broke into the dwelling house of Mr. Howard, Thistle Grove, Little Chelsea, and cleared the house of the whole of the plate, a watch, and a quantity of wearing app rel. Roister.— Yevterday evening, before dm k. the Cham bers of Mr. Tomlinson, barrister, Essex -court, Temple, were broken open and robbed of nearly twenty pounds worth of property, principaHy wearing apparel, books, and other portable articles, within reach. Two' cup. boards, containing valuable property, had been unsuc cessfully attempted to be forced with a chisel, which had ev:dently been broken in the attempt, the pieces being left on the Barr, as well as an old pair of gloves. —lbe chambers, which were on the top floor, bad been left ware about an hour before, and fastened with one o f n ee m 4 h' s patent locks, which had been forced. Mr. Tomlinson himself was the first to discover the robbery, on his return about five o'clock. On the stairs leading to his apartments he met a man hastening down, with • bundle under his arm, who, on finding himself scruti nised by Mr. Tomlinson. said, H What do yoo look at ?

K.O FOX HUNTI NG. The Linlithgow and Stirfingshire Hounds are now hunting within teach of Edinburgh, after having been in the west of Stirling and Fife and Clackmannandaires, where they bad very good sport. On their Om day in t►is neighbourhood they met at liantarrie, where they found immediately a brace of loxes, and ran one to ground in a drain near Hopetoun, after a sharp burst. They found again in Hopetoun-wood, and again ran bins to a drain. After trying 'tome other coverts, Demirele was again drawn. and a fox went away immediately, and was run to ground to some rabbit holes at Dundas Hill. This was a trying day for the hounds, but they behaved ad. :nimbly, and on the whole the horses had some sharp work. On the second day, the hounds, after trying Barntoa Park, found im. mediately in Corstorphlne Hill, and after a great deal of cold hunt ing, it was suppmed the fox was drowned iu the river near Cra. mond-bridge, which be was seen to enter, but never afterwards, nor could the bounds again bit off the seem on either beak. On Cragie. kill being drawn afterwards, several foxes were on foot, but un willing to break; one was, however, seen making fee Lord Rote berry's Park, but before the hounds could be laid ou, the scent bad failed, and whir.' could be made of it. On the third day the bounds killed a brace of foxes at Bowden, ringing week, and not much ►port. On the fourth day they met at itavelsig, and drew towards Norton, blank. On the fifth day they met at Armada!, Toli-bar, and killed a fox without much running, at Craigshill ; they then tried towards the Inch, where they found immediately and killed, after running the fox for at least half an boar, a racing ring through all the clumps. (In the sixth day they met at Wail ►ouse, and timid live or six fuze., and alter running a long time in covert killed one, during which rinse two had ►roke over a an. country, but were gone too far before it was known. The bounds found again, but were obliged to be taken away, as the scant, from the storminess of the day, was vs ry bad, and the covert was entirely foiled with previous sunning. On the seventh day, Thursday, the hounds met at Linlithgow Bridge, where they immediately found and killed in covert ; while racing their lot two more were viewed in the banks, and the hounds, homing beautifully among the rocks, ran them across the river, when they troth broke together, and were run to ground in some unknown earths about a silk Culotte. Kirseil wood was then drawn, from whence they ran a fax to Lin lithgow Bridge covert, and back to Kineil House, under which he found safety in a drain. Paddock Hall covert was then drawn, frum which, after a sharp burst, a Hoz rat to a drain at Carideo; being bolted, be was run to another drain, but being again bolted, be worms into after a short scurry.—Edirabeirgh Evening Cusront.
