LORD LORTON'S MEETING. A meeting of magistrates and landed proprietors, con vened pursuant to hand-bill requisition, took place on Tuesday last in the village of Elphin. The noble re quisionist, doubtlessly to save the trouble, got up the matter in this way; to save his numerous friends trouble, convened it in their neighbourhood instead of the county town; to save the wear and tear of the court-house, and possibly with the laudable intention of procuring the bible school pupils a play-hour, hold it in their school room ; to save the meeting the trouble of exercising a choice of a President, spontaneously took the chair ; to save them the usual trouble of forming a com mittee and drawing up resolutions, brought them in his pocket already manufactured ; to save the lungs of his friends, delivered almost all the speeches himself ; to save the tellers on a division trouble, precluded all votes but those of magistrates and persons who had land in fee ; and, finally, to promote the free circulation of air, prove his love of liberty, and give his friends elbow -room, turned the remainder of the meeting out of doors. The happy result of these admirable arrangements may be antici pated ; a vote, in despite of the most obdurate opposition, was got in favour of that liberal, constitutional, and truly merciful measure—the Insurrection Act! Of his Lordship and his supporters we may say, they bear their blushing honours so thick upon them, that lest we should add to the suffusion and inflame their worldly vanity, we merely give our readers their names, with a hint of their relative bearing to his Lordship : 1.

John Coomy His Lordship's tenant. 16. John Irwin Two Tars, new Magistrates of f 17. R. R. Amety his Lordship's appointment. One gentleman of property—two Agents to Absentees, with one Hogg—the Lord Bishop of Elphin, and his Dean, formed (we believe) the independent magisterial majority, who, in the plenitude of their tenderness and mercy to the poor (as they aver) would subject the county to the benign influence of the Insurrection Act. We ask pardon for having placed the Lord Bishop and his Dean so low on our list; but we could not possibly bring ourselves to break a single link of the long chain of his Lordship's independent friends. We now subjoin a list of the Magistrates who voted in the minority ; and it is to us a_ matter of astonishment, that these gentlemen should presume to differ with his Lordship ; should doubt for a moment the benevolence and liberality of his views ; should be so parsimonious as to spare the public money in these prosperous times : they should be so democratical as to deem the Insurrec ' tion Act an abridgment of national liberty ; should be so rash as to undertake the preservation of the peace in their respective districts, without the power of trans porting every poor idiot who (after hours) may wish to gaze at his prototype the man in the moon, or to disturb by insurrection the numerical calculations of every ragged astronomer, who might attempt to reckon the stars. Why will not these infatuated gentleman take a lesson from the Raw Head and Bloody Bone stories we hear daily ; their obduracy is terrific ; their Quixotism, we fear, will yet lead them to the attack of Windmills or of Jack the Joint killer, or possibly to pull a poor Editor's Nose. We shall therefore conclude, and get rid of those gunpowder gentry by giving their names to our readers without further commcnt. List of the Magistrates who voted against the adopdms of the Insurrection Act in the county :—Arthur French, Esq. M.P. and Governor, Frenchpark.honse ; William Molloy, Esq. Oakpon ; Daniel Kelly, Esq. Cargins ; Rev. John French, Frenchpark. home; O'Conor Don, Bahnagar ; Oliver D. Grace, Rsq. Mantua. house; Fitzstephen French, Esq. Errot4odge ; Dr. Arthur Ach nusty, Kilmore-house: Thomas Phillips, Esq. 'SW0101041; Capt. Taaffe Capps-1 odp ; Dominick Lodge, Esq. Frencipark-house ; John Halle, Esq. Lisadurn. Among the landed Proprietors who voted with the ma jority of the magistrates, we perceived another Militia Captain, a little volunteer, who has, we believe, no pro perty in fee in the country ; and among those who voted with the minority, we find Michael Balf, Edward O'Conor, James Balf, and Gunning Plunket, &qrs. A formal protest against the proceedings of the Lor tonites, has been signed by the following names : A. French, Governor, J. P. Daniel Keliy,J. P. O'Conor Don J. P. Wm' Mulloy, J. P. John French, J.

C. Kelly. Gunning Plunket, Edward O'Conor.....Dublin Paper Extract of a letter from Bourdeanx :—" We have seen the Vera Cruz Papers to the 18th September, re ceived by the packet-boat, No. 1; the following is an extract:—' The Chambers closed its sittings at Mexico on the 27th August, after having invested the President, Guerrero, with full powers to defend the liberty and in dependence of the country. General Teran, a man of great merit, has been appointed second in command, un der the orders of General Santa Anna ; and several of the chiefs are in motion. Orders have been given for the sequestration of property belonging to persons who are the enemies of the country, and the half of the re venue of Spaniards who shall be absent, during the pre sent war, in foreign countries. A convoy left Mexico on the 11th September, with 600,000 piastres. General Bravo, with other chiefs, are expected at Mexico." We are desired to state that there is no truth whatever in the report which has appeared in the London papers, and was inadvertently copied last week into our own, of an approaching marriage between Lady Louisa Beanclerk and a son of Mr. Heneage.—Brighton Gazette. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has appointed the Rev. Lawrence Dunne, of North Anne-street Chapel, to be Rector of the parish of Castledermot, county Kildare, vacant by the death of its late Pastor, the Rev. Mr. Led non. Mr. Oliver Grace, of Mantua, who will, in all likeli hood, fill the office of High Sheriff of Roscommon for the ensuing year, is the son of the first Catholic called on the Grand Jury of that county after the passing of the Relief Bill of 1793. REPRESENTATION OF KERILY.A new candidate has been named within the last few days in the person of the Earl of Kerry, the eldest son of the Marquis of Lansdowne. This young nobleman is we believe of age, and has much distinguished himself in College.—The Noble Marquis has extensive estates in Kerry, and the prospects of the young Earl are spoken of as by no means discouraging. We understand that it is not the Noble Lord's intention to oppose either of the present patriotic members for the county, and that he will only offer him self' to the consideration of the electors in the event of a yacanCy.—Tralee Mercury. THE EXORBITANT CHARGE. FROM TILE FRESCO. The Arabs! the Jews! 'tis too bat on my lifr!

COVENT GARDEN: THE ROYAL FUGITIVE" The excellence of Miss Kesl r.t.s.'s Juliet requites no foil to set it off : without the adventitious aid of contrast, " Her skill shall, likes star i' the darkest night. Stick fiery off, indeed" and the undiminished power of her attraction require.; not the test of an indifferent drama, ill-supported, and the consequent display of " empty benches" on the inter vening nights of performance, to enhance her value in public estimation, or to attach importance to her services in the eyes of the Proprietary. We do think, therefore, that with so many excellent " stock pieces" at their command, in which the varied talent and strength of the Covent Garden Company could be so much more eiTec tively put forth, and that taste for the drama, which has been so fortunately re-animated (even when it scented at the point of extinction) successfully stim::latul there was something injudicious, to say the least of it, in trifling with the spirit which it was so difficult to re vive, by the production, at such a time, of a Drama with such questionable pretensions to popular favour aa " The Royal Fugitive," to which it required all the gmd nature of a very indulgent audience to extend " The Rights of Hospitality." As the medium of some well arranged Scotch airs—prelnded by an overture in 13:- stmt.'s best style—and as giving occasion for some bursts of admirable acting, the piece so far succeeded as to be announced for repetition with but few dissentient voices.—This Operatic Drama, is founded upon one of the many hair-breadth 'scapes of " the Young Pretender," and though the perilous adventures of that unfortunate Prince may be supposed to present to the Dramatist more frequent incidents capable of being wrought into powerful scenic situations, than those of almost any other hero of chivalry or romance, yet in this particular instance, they were either deemed so imprac ticable by the author, or so little appreciated by the actors, that they were suffered to " come tardy off." The piece excited little interest throughout the two first acts, if in ofeed we except the thrilling effect produced by Miss E. TREE, (as the Duchess of Athol) in the scene where, whilst the Prince stands disguised as the Duke, her hus band, in the presence of one of his pursuers ; intelligence arrives that the Duke himself has actually been made prisoner at a neighbouring island. With that exception, the colloquy of these acts was so unenlivened by heroic sentiment, energetic appeals to human sympathy, sprightliness or wit, that nothing but the ever excellent singing of Miss Cswss, ably supported by Mr. WOOD, kept the audience sufficiently in good humour to hold their judgments suspended: till the third act, by the increasing peril of the Pretender's situation and the se vere trial of his self possession at the banquet, compen sated for the heaviness of its predecessors, and " took their reasons, and their judgments captive." With a very high opinion of Mr. WA RDE'S talents, we must say we never saw theme° unequally exercised as on this occasion. Prince Charles is an unfortunate, houseleas, homeless, and almost friendless, wanderer, it is true ; —but his repre sentative does little honour to his general character, by the lachrymose weakness with which he details his suffer ings: and privations. This error—for an error we con ceive it to be, very detrimental to the general effect of the Drama—he retrieved, by the animation and genuine feeling which he displayed in the few short, but ener getic, sentences in which at the Banquet, be reproved the sanguinary spirit of the adversaries to whom he was then unknown. Miss E. TREE did more than justice to the Duchess—and merits the grateful acknowledgments of the author, for the skill with which she sustained a character so little worthy of her talents. To her and to Miss CAWSE the success of the Drama may fairly be ascribed ; and this we say, without any desire to detract from Mr. Woon's merits. By the bye, this Gentleman possesses so many capabilities for combining the advan tages of good acting with the attraction of good singing, that we trust he will sedulously apply himself to the cul tivation of so very essential a qualification. RUSSELL played old Sandy extremely well, and BLANCHARD'S Colonel Cope was equally good. Mr. DIDDEA R had little to do as the Duke of Athol, but he did that little respectably. His dress might be improved with manifest advantage to the scene. The entrance of the Duke of CUMBERLAND nearly proved fatal to the piece :—that character was enacted by a Mr. HORRIBLE, or HORREBOW, Or HORRIHBORE...-01' some such name —but we advise the manager, for the sake of the author, to place his Highness in other hands. Mr. KEAN arrived in town on Sunday last, for the sole purpose, we are asssured, of performing the three nights which he proffered to Covent Garden Theatre, but the arrangements of that Theatre not allowing the ma nager to accept of his services on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the next week, he has volunteered to per form on those nights at Drury-lane Theatre, for the purpose of aiding that establishment in the present de pressed state of theatrical affairs. Mr. KEA): declined engagements at Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, that he might fulfil his intentions towards Gwent-garden. A person, on viewing the Siamese Youths at the Egyp'ian Hall, observed, that they formed a new era in human nature, for they could not be called either married or single. Madame VEsTais is now in town, and not yet engaged at either theatre, though both have made overtures to secure her services. Mrs. W. WEST is now performing at Newcastle-on- Tyne, on her way from Edinburgh to fulfil engagements at the Derby and Nottingham theatres. It is not more strange than true, that whilst theatricals in London are on the wane, at Edinburgh, Plymouth, and other provincial towns of note, they were never more prosperous than they now are. In America, save and except at the principal theatre in New York, theatricals were never known to be in so drooping a condition. It is generally reported that a Brevet promotion will shortly take place in the Army and Navy, and also a re gulation relative to the rank of lieutenant-Colonels and Post Captains. A part of the 50th Regiment stationed in Blackburn were inspected on Saturday, the 14th inst. by Major General the Hon. , Sir H. F. .Bouverie, Commanding Officer of that district. The appearance and discipline of the men were stated by the General to be perfectly satisfactory to him, and highly creditable to the Officers. Meckford, the collector of taxes of Eastbourne, has been released from custody, on satisfactory grounds. Commissioner Ross and the Storekeeper of the Dock yard, left Plymouth yesterday for London, on official business. LITERARY NOTICE. THE ATHENAID, OR MODERN GRECIANS. MAUD AND MILLAR. When the mighty genius of " the Ariosto of the North" exacted tribute from his admiring country, and from the whale literary world, and established an exclu sive property in the noblest and most vigorous deli neations of all that was bold, romantic, chivalrous, en chanting., or interesting, in the traditional legends and national characteristics of his native land, he did but •wlileve, by the gifted labour of many years, and the fe..tile production of many volumes, that triumph which with reference to GREECE and her sons, of the olden time, and of our own days,—the mightier genius of By so m, accomplished in the fulness of poetic inspiration, (which, with tha surpassing splendor of the lightning, all its fatal fleetness,) and in the brief space of some few, but deathless, stanzas. The glory of that land of 11 , A-we.; and of sages, when she stood erect in the sublimely majesty of freedom—Ler mournful loveliness as sh?. now appa:s, like a beauteous corpse without a spirit: the brightner4 of the past, and the desolation of the pre, , ent ;--the devotion of lin illustrious sons, the hero:; of ilsmis and Thennopylv —and the prostration of the deo-en:rate rate Cot have looked tamely on, and witnes.seti her devastotion without one worthy effort to avenge her wrongs, or to asszrt their independency as men ;—" the heart e:ta nothing feel, that feels not these," as Bya9x hld embodied them, in strains worthy of recalling " The Lies of Greece, the Ii es of Great ! Where t•uruing Sarin° loved and sung. Where grew the arts of w•ar and peace, Where Delos rose, and Pheebut aprons ! F.ternal Summer gild. then, yet. But all, except their sun, is set." Associated AA the nomory of 13 vaoN has become with every recollection of his beloved Greens, it bospeaks at least the daring of a poetic slirit to strike the chord, which had so long vibrated to his magic tench ; and even though the laurel-wreath be snatched from the grasp of the aspirant, the of the attempt, which would have rendemi success glorious, casts over the discomfiture of defeat the redeeming pro mise of faun? excellence. " The Athenaid, or Modern Grecians," is the production of HENRY d. BRADFII.:I.D, Esq. a gentleman who has been actively and honourably engaged in the Greek cause ; and his sketches of Grecian character and habits have the merit of being drawn "'rem personal observation. The volume is dedicated to the most distinguished lyric Poet of the age-1%0)1ns Moon a;—and as a fair specimen of Mr. BRADFIELD'S poetical ability, we select the• closing stanzas of the Poem—which, were it only as an intro duction to some excellent Notes, is entitled to the consi-` deration of all who take an interest in the regeneration of Greece : For " Greece Is Freedom's orphan, helpless child! Breathing where horrors circumvent her rest ; Tier rants have been with infidels defiled, The despot's sword hath pierced her bleeding breast : And At bath beam as foe. half calm, half wild.

H. and soon increased to a frightful storm aw fully agitating the S:3. The shipping in the Downs, for Iht mu t part. released :heir cables, and r.n to sea, utile others, le s fortunate. h *ye been engulphed and totally lost, wi h their crews. At an early hour in the murnitig, the General Painter, 600 tons, from Mad' at. arrived off Deal, having encountet , d severe weather trio d.ys. I was soon perceived by the tio, s - men that their asst.tance was required. and which ti:at ala:t.ty which usuasly character sea those brave men when th• itvLs et their fellow-creatures are in jeopardy, no time was lust be fore a launch was effected. Latanch succeeded launch, unt.l the whole of the boats belonging to the town were tocsin; about and contending with the rough sea, like so many vessels en gaged in a contest. The ship having been wrecked, it was found that three cables had been paned with, and that the pannier' s were in a dreadful state of alarm, but it was deemed prudent not to remove them but to get the vessel's bead before the wind, in tartlet to escape the Goodwin Sands. Fortunately their endeavours wet e successful. and in a short time she code well until she made the Margate Roads. Here another difficulty presented itself, or rather a seilea of difficulties • the wind blew with terri fi c force, anchortess, and the crew ex hausted with fatigue, the Captain, is whose praise the passengers all concur, spoke to several Margate boats, and she was taken in tow. Dy this tinie the valuable cargo was at the mercy of the waves unless immediate steps were taken ; the Captain and Pilot therefore determined upon running her a-ground, which was accomplished in a very skilful manner, after many hazardous efforts, at Whitstable, where she now lies safe from harm. The boats of the town were in immediate requisition ; and without a single loss of life, the Captain and passengers were landed about five o'clock in the aftetnoon, and at six o'clock the whole reached C. n:erbury and took up a temporary abode at the Lion Inn, where every attention was bestowed by Mr. Minter, the proprietor, and about eight o'clock they departed for the Metropolis. The pea 'ewes speak in terms of affection of the Captain, who behaved with the greatest courage and coolness, and evinzed every disposi tion to alleviate their fears, and render every conger. consistent with his own trying situation. The same evening, a vsostl, supposed to be laden with bulf.du hides from the Cape of Good Hope, was off Drill. in the greatest distress, and within half a mile from the town, the crew being lashed to the rigging. Grievous as this may seem, the mighty waves presented an insurmountable barrier to assistance, aid the ill-fated crew, with the vessel, were eugulphed, with, we understand, a pilot she bad takeu in from some port. It is proba'de by to mor row her name may be traced. It is, indeed, clearly impossible that Turkey can ever, under any circumstances, discharge the sum of money imposed upon her by Russia to reimburse to the latter power the expenses of the war; and it is equally certain that the other powers cannot, consistently with their own dignity and safety, allow Russia to acquire that accession of ter ritory to which she would be entitled in case the existing stipulations were not fulfilled. A war, therefore, appears inevitable, unless the demands of the Autocrat are very materially modified.—Morning Journal, The Lancashire and Cheshire papers abound in notices made " in terms of the standing orders of the House of Commons," for applications to be made to Parliament for its sanction to new Rail Roads. Even Canals, it scams, are to be filled up and turned into them ; and such is the rage for subscribing funds towards their com pletion, that it almost equals the joint-stock mania of 1824 and 1825---individuals actually fighting and crawl ing upon their knees to reach the " bond" for signa ture. This is rashness and folly ; and friends as we are to improvement, and to the almost unlimited im provement that roads and all other means of internal connntinication are still capable of teceiving, we would warn the sanguine against too hastily embarking capital in these upon the mere faith of experiments, which, bril liant as they were, are as yet too limited and too much merely experiments, to set every doubt as to being transported 30 miles an hour in a twelvemonth at rest.— Glasgow Free Press.
