A DDRESS TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. 'l•he Presbyterian Synod of Ireland has addressed the Lord Lieutenant, through their Moderator, in the following terms. The Address was presented last week by the Rev. Mr. Coulter, the Moderator : May it please your Grace,—We, the Ministers and Elders of the Presbyterian Synod of Ireland. distinguished by the name of Seceders, embrace the earliest opportunity afforded us by our Annual Meeting to express our dutiful and loyal attachment to our gracious Sovereign, and hearty congratulations to your Grace. upon your appointment to the dignified office of Chief Governor of Ireland. For our protection in the enjoyment of that religious freedom which is the birthright of all who live under the British Consti tution, we feel ourselves indebted, under Goa, to the mild and judicious administration of the illustrious dynasty of the House of Hanover. The paternal affection and solicitude of our revered King for the interests of this country cannot to out minds. be more ,triktngly displayed titan by the appointment of a Nobleman of your rank. talent*, and munificence, and whose family have occu pied for ages such h distinguished place in the history of the Em pire, to the Vice Regency of Ireland at this critical period. Yyar Grace's high character gives us every reason to confide, that under your Grace's Administration, outrage and insubordi nation shall be suppressed, and that peace, good order, civiliza tion. and religious truth, as under a strong and ample canopy, shall prevail and prosper. In conclusion, we beg to assure your Grace that we feel it to be our privilege, no less than our duty, to inculcate upon the people committed, in Divine Providence, to our pastoral care, "to fear GOD, honour the King, and follow peace with all men." DAMAGED GRAIN. It will be seen by the following correspondence that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer is disposed to grant every facility in his power to further the interests of farmers, maltsters, and indeed of the public at large : " Knepp Castle, Oct. 9. 1829. " Sta—l have much satisfaction in sending you a copy of a letter I have this day had the honour to receive from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to a letter I recently addressed to him on the advantage to be derived from a permission (under regulation) for drying of damp wheat, so that it might come at once into the market in a fit state for conversion into wholesome flour, to the immediate advantage of those who have occasion to sell early and also to the benefit of the consumers. The promptness of Mr. Goa!burn in attending to the suggestion (which it is just I should add was first made to me by a public-spirited corn merchant of respectability in the west of Sussex,) and the liberality with which he has extended the permission to other corn, will, lam satisfied, be duly appreciated both by the grower and the consumer, as well as by your humble servant, " CHARLES N. BURRELL. " To the Editor of the Sussex Advertiser." (corr.) Mr DILA R Sic Cuaalm—l only write a line, in reply to your letter of the 2d, to say, that orders have been given from the Ex die permitting maltsters to dry any kind of grain upon their kilns on giving previous notice to the officers of their intention. Yours, ever, my dear Sir Charles. most truly, " HENRY GOULBURN. '• Duwning.street, Oct. 8, 1829." THE SILK TRADE.

The free-trade gentry will shelter themselves, as Lord Liver pool used to do. behind overproduction, or some of those late hum bugs—the bad crop of last year is a capital retreat on the present occasion ; and no doubt next Session we shall hear enough of it; but bad crops should also Influence the importation of foreign manu factured goods. The table we have given above shows whether it does so, when the amount of imports for one single month reaches nearly one hundred thousand pounds !—Macclesfield Courier, BALLINASLOE FAIR. - - The Fair of Ballinasloe has been a very indifferent one. The truth is, though the exports of cattle proceed with as much, pethaps more activity than usual, the prices have been rapidly declining. Nor is this confined to cattle. Butter is cheaper now than it has been for forty years—With respect to the Corn Market, prices are certainly declining, and likely to decline—yet the protecting duties are next to a prohibition. OCT. 5-Up to twelve o'clock this day not a sale took place. At one, however, a ftw lots were sold, but the majority of the sheep must remain over until to-morrow ; one let of ewes sold to-day for 345. OCT. 6—The sheep fair terminated this day ; it turns out to be the worst fair for selling that bas occurred some years. Sheep are supposed to be from 6s. to 10s. under the price paid for them last May. Sheep sold on the sth 27,352 6th 4‘2,662 70,014 Left unsold Total hi the Fair 77,993 At the fair of 1828, them were sold on the lst day 52,051 2d day 33,092 85,143 Unsold 12,241 Total number on sale at the fair last year, 97,384 The average prices at the fair of 1828 was for Ewes, 20s. to 221. for Wethers,3os. to 403. In this year's fair the reduction on sheep is stated to be, from last year's prices, on an average, on ewes, from 41. to Ss. and on wet hers, from Bs. to 10s. Yesterday, the black cattle fair com menced, and we regret to state that the sales effected have been upon terms fully as bad as those upon sheep. The Court of King's Bench will resume its sittings in London on the 19th inst. on which day only undefended cau s es on bills of exchange and promissory notes will he tried.

The county of Louth will soon he the scene of a very warm and angry contest between the rival car.didates, Mr. Bellew and Mr. Shell. Mr. Leslie Foster retires immediately, and takes his place upon the Bench of the Exchequer Court, made vacant by the resignation of Baton M'Clelland. Mr. Forster takes his place as Politic Judge, at the commencement of the ensuing Term. The ":^n was again offered to Mr. Doherty, and he retused it.

The company was more select, however, consisting chiefly of Gentlemen and men of science. Persons whd visited the ground for purposes of amusement did not experience the same degree of gratification which those experienced who visited it on the preceding day, in consequence of all the machines which exercised yesterday not having exercised to-day. Still the experiments, though limited, were highly interesting to scientific men. Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson's engine (the Novelty) proved itself to-day to he as good (proportionally) at drawing a load as running without one. It drew in one hour, three times its weight, a distance of 2(1 miles ! The carriage of Messrs. Stephenson, Ack worth, and Brandreth, were also on the course this day, and took several trips, but merely by way of exercise. One of the horses engaged in working Mr. Brandreth's carriage fell, we understand, through the floor, but was extricated without much injury. The weather became wet, and the rail-ways clogged with mud, which made it necessary to suspend the prosecution of the experiments before the day had half elapsed. The attendance of spectators this morning was by no means so numerous as on the preceding day, but there were few of those absent—the engineers, men of science, &c. whose presence was not wanted. The Earl of Derby paid the rail-way a visit in the course of the morning, and seemed to take a great interest in the proceedings. THURSDAY.—Tnsan Day. The principal conditions on which the tar* was at first offered were these :-Ist, That each engine entered for the competition should weigh not more than six tons, and be capable of drawing after it, day by day, on a level plane, a train of carriages of a gross weight equal to three times the weight of the engine itself, at a rate of not less than ten miles per hour, with a pressure of steam in the boiler not exceeding 50Ib. on the square inch. 411. That the engine and boiler should be supported on springs, and rest on six wheels, and the height from the ground to the top of the chimney should not exceed 15 feet. 51. That the engine should " effectually consume its own smoke." 4th. That there should be two safety valves, one of which should be completely out of the reach of the engineer's intetference.—On Tuesday, afternoon, however, the Judges drew up a new set of conditions, which were published to-day, and which made a number of mo difications ea the original ones. We subjoin a copy of the new conditions : " TRIAL OF Tilt LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES. " The following is the ordeal which we have decided each Lo comotive Engine shall undergo, in contending for the premium of 5001. at Rainhill : " The weight of the locomotive engine, with its full complement of water in the bone:, shall be ascertained at the weighing machine, by eight o'clock in the morning, and the load assigned to it shall be three times the weight thereof. The water in the boiler shall be cold, and there shall be no fuel in the fire-place. As much fuel shall be weighed, and as much water shall be measured and deli vered into the tender carriage, as the owner of the engine may con sider sufficient for the supply of the engine fur a journey of 55 miles. The fire in the boiler shall then be lighted, and the quan tity of fuel consumed for getting up the steam shall be determined, and the time noted. " The tender carriage, with the fuel and water, shall be consi dered to be, and taken as a part of the load assigned to the engine. "Those engines that carry their own fuel and water shall be allowed a proportionate deduction for their load, according to the weight of the engine. " The engine, with the carriages attached to it, shall be run by hand up to the starting-post, and as soon as the steam is got up to 501 b. per square inch, the engine shall set out upon its journey. " The distance the engine shall perform each trip shall be one mile and three quarters each way, including one-eighth of a mile at each end for getting up the speed and for stopping the train. this means the engine with its load will travel one and a half mile each way at full speed. " The engine shaU make ten trips, which will be equal to a jour ney of 55 miles, 30 miles whereof shall be performed at full speed, and the average rate of travelling shall not be less than ten miles per hour. " As soon as the engine has performed this task (which will be equel to the travelling from Liverpool to Alanchester) there shall be a fresh supply of furl and water delivered to het, and as soon as she can be got ready to set out again, she shall go up to the starting post, and make ten trips more, which will be equal to the journey from Manchester back to Liverpool. " The time of performing every trip shall be accurately noted, as well as the time occupied in getting ready to set out on the second journey. Should the engine not be enabled to take along with it suffi cient fuel and water for the journey of ten trips, the time occupied in taking in a fresh supply of fuel and water shall be considered and taken as part of the time in performing the journey. " J. U. RASTRICK, Esq Stourbridge, C. E. " NICHOLAS WOOD, Esq. Killingworth, C.E. Judges. JOHN KENNEDY, Esq. Manchester. " Liverpool, Oct. 6,1899." Mr. Stephenson's engine, " The Rocket," weighing 4 tons 5 cwt. performed to-day the work required by the original con ditions. The following is a correct account of the performances : The engine, with its complement of water, weighed 4 tons 5 cwt. and the load attached to it was 12 tons 15 cwt. which with a few persons who rode, made it about 18 tons. The journey was one mile and a half each way, with an additional length of 290 yards at each end to stop the engine in, making in one journey three miles and a half. The first experiment was for thirty-five miles, which is exactly ten journeys, and, including all the stop pages at the ends, was performed in three hours and ten !Mertes, being upwards of eleven miles an hour. After this a fresh supply • of water was taken in, which occupied about sixteen minutes, when the engine again started, and ran thirty-five miles in two hours and fifty-two minutes, which is upwards of twelve miles an hour, including all stoppages. The speed of the engine with its load, when in full motion, was from 14 to 17 miles an hour ; and had the whole distance been in one continued direction, there is no doubt but the result would have been fifteen miles an hour. The consumption of coke was very moderate, not exceeding half a ton in the whole seventy miles. At several parts of the journey the engine moved at eighteen miles an hour. Mr. Ackwerth's Darlington engine was withdrawn, on account, we believe v of some part of It falling accidentally out of order. It is nearly of the same size and weight as Mr. Stephenson's, and, like that engine, requires the addition of an engine tender to carry its water and fuel. Judging from several short trips which it per formed on the rail-road, by way of exercise, we should pronounce it to be a machine of great power. F R.I DA Y.—Foment DAY. To-day a public notice appeared from Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson, stating that in consequence of the alteration made in the conditions of the competition, the definitive trial of the new engine h4d, with the approbation of the judges, been deferred till Satur day at eleven. Friday became thus a dies not in the competition ; the engines of Mr. Stephenson and Messrs. Braithwaite and &ink son being the only two which, to use the language of the turf, had been placed by the judges. SATURDAY—Finis Day. - - In the expectation of - witnessing the Novelty perform its ap pointed task, the attendance of company on the ground was more numerous to-day than it had been on several of the preceding days. Three times its own weight having been attached to the engine, the machine commenced its task, and performed it at the rate of sixteen miles in the hour. Mr. Stephenson's engine, the Rocket, also exhibited to-day. Its tender was completely detached from tt, and the engine alone shot along the road at the almost incre dible rate of S 2 miles in the hour. So astonishing was the celerity with which the engine, without its apparatus, darted past the spec tators, that it could be compared to nothing but the rapidity with which the swallow darts through the air. Their astonishment was complete, every one exclaiming involuntarily, "The power of steam Is unlimited!" The experhnenu will be continued during the present week. The Bulletin des Sciences Historiques contains an ac count of the discovery of some antiquities at Vienne, in France.— Amongst other things, were two figures in bronze repre%entlng Atlas and M ercury; they have been deposited in the Museum.— • . Not far from the spot there were found a glass urn and some phials, which have also been sent to the Museum. A gold ring was near the latter but it was taken away by the workmen. A few years ago, M. Verney found in has garden a square piece of marble of nine or ten inches, on which was cut the following inscription : " L. Valerila vitalis tires sad a svisfivii." A lad about 16, named ltobert Squires, an errand-boy to Mr. Mantiering. linen-draper, High-street, Borough, on Satur day took from a shelf at the back of the shop sonic cheese lying upon a piece of clean paper, which appeared to be covered with flour. He blew it off, and then ate the cheese, which lie had no sooner done, than he expectorated violently, and became very ill. It was a.cortained that one of the temale members• of the family bad toasted the else , se, and whilst in a soft state she had infused in it a quantity of white arsenic, for the purpose of destroying rats, and had pieced it (she says) in she cellar,where the vermin moat abound. No Mile was lost in carrying the poor lad to Guy's Hospital, and at twelve o'clock, two hours after be was brought in, he expired. The unfortunate youth had been in Mr. M.'s employ about six months, and nothing can exceed the distress the family hive been thrown . into at tbr deplorable event.

As it was not known till this morning whether Kinganee would start, the betting was not by any means brisk till then. Mameluke never came to the post in better hu mour; he went off without evincing any of that viciousness so commonly attributed to him. Coroner took the lead at a capital pace, and kept it up with considerable spirit to the new ground, where it was obvious enough how the race would terminate. Mameluke was already beat by the immense weight on his back and the great pace they had been going, and here also Coroner began to lag ; the Reveller filly immediately took up the running, went right away, and won in a canter by six lengths—rode by Pavis (who was declared to ride 65t. 101 h. instead of 6st. 71b.)—Co roner by Wakefield—and Mameluke by Robinson, who pulled up some distance from home.

Monday evening an Inquisition was taken before Thomas Higgs, Esq. at the Turf Tap, Tattersall's-yard, Hyde Park-corner, on the body of Thomas Crane, aged 70, who came by his death under the following circumstances : Mr. William Smart, of the Broadway, Hammersmith, stated that the deceased was in his employ. On Tuesday, the 29th ult. witness was assisting the deceased in affixing a gutter to carry off the water on a shed near his own premises. The deceased was on a ladder about eight feet from the ground k when one of the rafters gave way, which the deceased knew was ,not secure, and be fell to the ground and broke his leg. He was taken to a surgeon's directly, and after wards conveyed to Sr. George's Hospital. Mr. Wake!. :Carey, house-surgeon to St. George's Hospital, stated that ;the deceased bad received a compound comminuted fracture of the two bones into the left ands joint ; there was a large extravaradon of blood, and considerable bleeding externally from the wound. Abscesses formed, and for want of power In the constitution, he sunk under the injuries, and died last Saturday. Foreman of the Jury.—Pray, Sir, why did you open the body of the deceased? Witness—Because deposits sometimes form internally, and pro duce visceral affection. Foreman—What do you mean by deposits and visceral affection? lam a plain tradesman, and don't understand you. A man having a compound fracture of the leg it don't follow that you should rip his body open to ascertain the cause of his death, and I think it very disgraceful that a poor unfortunate devil who is taken to the hospital should have his belly ripped open for young surgeons to look at his guts, when his complaint was in bis leg, and, alter having satisfied their curiosity, who knows that, instead of putting it back again, they may fill it with offal. I'll have this put a stop to. I have attended five inquests lately. and every one of the bodies have been ripped open. If there are any reporters here I beg they will take notice of what I have said, as it is a most shameful practice. Mr. Pettingall, a surgeon—The bodies of the dead are opened for the benefit of the living, and I think you will find some diffi culty in preventing the practice. Foreman—My name is Cooper, carver and gilder, of Knights. bridge, and if I don't have the practice put a stop to I have ad +armed 3001. In the Atlas for nothing. I have a brother a surgeon at Tooting, Mr. Charles Cooper, in the receipt of 1,000/. per annum by his practice. but he should not rip open the body of my poor old mother for the world. Let the surgeons get bodies in a proper way. I will bet any gentleman present 401. that I put a stop to the practice within a month. Nobody appeared inclined to accept the wager, and the jury re turned a verdict cf " Accidental death." The CONVICTS ORDERED for EXECUTION. The following is a brief mount of tke offences of which the unhappy persons were convicted, who are sentenced to suffer the extreme penalty of the law on Monday next : Richard Chick was convicted a a burglary in the house of Mr. Wilson, a mercer, in Sun-street, Hishopsgate. The convict was indicted with Mary his wife, and Chas. WM. Elliot and his wife— but the three latter were acquitted. The Recorder passed sentence of Death upon Chick imme diately after his conviction, at the same time telling kim, that his offence was of so aggrArated a nature that he could not hold out to him any hope of mercy. He heard the sentence with the most perfect indiffaence. Josiah Nathan, alias Joseph Latham, alias Josiah Jones, aged . . . . • - - 27. This prisoner was convicted of a burglary in the dwelling-house of 111 r. Newton, at Mile-end Old Town.—James Browne, alias King, was convicted of the same offence at the last July Sessions, and was coedited on the 24th of August. It was in consequence of a confession made by him that Nathan was apprehended. He bad but recently returned from transportation at the time be com mitted the robbery for which he is doomed to suffer. Richard Gifford pleaded guilty to an indiciment charging him with having personated William Green, of Crucibx.lane, brazier, obtainingaqd 125/. being the value of stock standing in his name OD the Bank book,. The prisoner refused to withdraw his plea of guilty, although advised by the Judge to do so. THE NEW POLIOE.—The new police-officers having received strict injunctions from the Commissioners not ro carry umbrellas in wet weather, a considerable portion of them were furnished on Wednesday last with large oil-skin capes, which cover their great coats over their shouldera, and also oilAtin cases for their hats. Letitia Mills, of Charltonolister of Mr. Mills, of Aid borough, on Sunday lan.made some sjurnplinp, and. seeing a cup with flour in it un the shelf put in in contents. The flour in the cup was mixed with some arsenic, for the purpose of .poisoning mice. The .itonsequences arc painful to relate : iu spite of ail medical aid, she died eke rime night in the most excruciating agony ; and .Mr. Hearn. with whom she lived, panonk ut the deadly food, and expired on Monday last. We hope this fatal occurrence will operate as a warning to all to keep poison in safer places.—Sififolk Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. EITESSISZ Conetroaarroxsix Sussex SY InsurnAnuts.—Eniitb, the principal officer, was sent down a few days ago by the Chief Magistrate to enquire into the circumstances under which a great number of stacks of hay and corn, and several out-bosses, kad been set on fire ou t►e estate of a gentleman at Cuckfield, in Sums.— A communication was received yesterday from Smith, stating that be had taken two persons Into custody, and that he had no doubt of being able to hang the whole of the offenders, of whom there is a numerous gang, to justice. An examination will take place in a day or two before a full Bench of Magistrates for the county of Sussex. Great alarm has been created in the neighbourhood by the daring acts of the incendiaries. There were a number of disorderly cases brought before Sir R. Braun yesterday morning, among which was t►at of Jssepk Gust, who was found in a state of intoxication yesterday morning, at half-past one o'clock. in Portugal -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and was taken to the watc►-house. A woman of the name of Sarah Barton was near to him at the time, who, on perceiving one of the police officers approaching, immediately walked off; she was ob served by Serjeant Agg to stoop, and be directly went up to her, and by good management succeeded in eliciting that she had taken a watch and appendages, and thrown them into the burial-ground. On looking there be found a splendid double-capped silver watch, with a massive gold chain and seals, worth about SO guineas; he consequently took her into custody. On examination yesterday morning, she said she was a perfectly honest woman, but the fact of the property haviug been found near ber being proved, she was remanded till Friday. The watch and seals were handed over to Mr. Thomas, who has thus had another opportunity of witnessing the honesty of the men under his controuL The man, when ether, recognized his watch, and said that he had two sovereigns in his pocket, which were also gone. HATTON-GARDEN. Two young men, who gave their names Thomas Roberts aad Thomas Eglingen, were yesterday morning brought befote 31r. Rasmus on a charge of attempting to break into the house of No. 40, Compton-street, the preceding night. John Hollister stated that about half-put twelve on Monday night he was on duty in Compton-street, when be heard a crash , he went to see where the noise came from, when he saw the two prisoners forcing the shutters down at the house No. 40 ; one of the shutters was completely broken (part of which he produced).— The prisoners on seeing him ran away ; he followed them and took them into custody. He never lost sight of them. The prisoners, in their defence, stated that they had never beets near the house in question. They had been drinking at a public house, and were returning home when they were taken into cus tody. Mr. Rouses ordered them to find bail, and told them they might think themselves fortunate be did not commit them for three months. . . George Webb was brought to this Office, charged with assaulting and obstructing Jacob Smith, the toll-taker at Battlebridge•gate.

Witness followed the child to the house No. 9, Francis street, Vinegar-yard, City-road, kept by the prisoners, and there he found the Ss. piece lying upon the table, and on searching the prisoner Thomas he found upon her person a bad shilling.

Matthew Win f ield, a labourer on the Canal, was yesterday placed at the bar before the Sitting Magistrate, E.Gturnxias, Esq. charged with embezzling a sovereign. Edward Kelly, the proprietor of several barges upon the Pad dington Canal, stated that the primmer rented a barge of him by the week, and received from him 10s. for taking freights into the country, and the same sum for returning with others, the prosecu tor paying all the expenses of tonnage. On Saturday last he bad a freight to be conveyed forty miles, and he gave the prisoner a gui nea to pay the toll with (it being the amount of the tonnage). He was to start on Saturday afternoon, as Mr. Kelly had a bill to re ceive of £8 on the Monday from the gentleman to whom the ar ticles were sent. The prosecutor accordingly went down on Mon day to the purchaser, and there discovered, to his great mortiica don, that the prisoner had never been with the freight, but had spent the money given him to pay the toll with in getting intoxi cated, and had even the insolence to go to his master on Monday, and ask for the money for the toll again; but the clerk refused to give it, and he was subsequently apprehended on a charge of em bezzling the money. Mr. Gammas enquired whether the prisoner was a weekly servant ? The prosecutor replied in the negative. lie paid him so much for each freight. Mr. Mallet (the Chief Clerk) remarked that the case of em bezzlement could not be substantiated, unless a servant tic(Zii:ed money belonging to his master. Mr. Gnirrazus coincided in opiniun with the former gentleman, and the prisoner was discharged, but ordered to make the watch man some compensation fur having committed an assault upon him.
