IMLAVD. THE DUBLIN CORPORATION. Friday, being the regular day for holding Mei Quarte r Assembly, the LORD MAYOR and the High I Syeriis proceeded. from .. . the Mansion-House to the 1 House in %ill:am-street. Asse mb.y--- At 11 o'clock yers th raftverSheri ff- e read by the the Chair City . Chaplain, and shortly pra ye r s A er e me VOTES OF THANKS. Sir G. WHITFORD rose, and in a handsome speech pro posed the thanks of the Corporation to Sir A. B. n r for his highly dignified conduct, his hos var.• ; his conci li ating manners, &c. as Lord Mayor P u i t t b l e t 'ity , of Dublin, for his year of office—a year in which more particular honour was paid to Ireland, and the city of Dublin, than history could record, by the kind conciliatory visit of his Majesty George IV. ail d in which space the late Lord Mayor had gained approval of his Sovereign, and the the rewarding .iidarde of all his fellow-citizens, for the prudent t • a ., c f ge ntlemanlike conduct he had followed. Sir \.IC. BRADY seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously. A Committee was then moved for, that an Address s oo t„ be prepared suitable to the merits of the wor thy Baronet while in office, accompanied by a piece a pl at e, value One Hundred Guineas, with a suitable inscription. Votes of Thanks were then passed unanimously to the l ate High Sheriffs, Sir G.Whitford, and Sir N.V. Brady; also to Geo. Archer, Esq. late Sub-Sheriff. ENTEItTAINMENT OF 1118 MAJESTY. On the motion of Mr. SEMPLE, 300 guineas were v oted to Air. Hay, for his unwi or . ed labours in for warding t erecting of the buildin ; alluded to, and on the motion of Sir E. !!TANI.EY, 200 guineas were rqed to Mr. Semple, junior, for his exertions on the same occasion. M r .SuTTER now brought forward a motion, which, ira said, he was induced to propose, as certain rumours had gone abroad, assertinr, that within the i last six tnonihs thepaitics of the Corporation had been much changed. lie would therefore propose, in the hope that the Resolution would be black-beaned—" That tanks be returned to the Mansion-llouse Committee, for their/militia conduct during the recent occasion." Mr. J. T. Svxsorr trusted that that Resolution would not be seconded. Mr. \Vitus said, societies might exist independent of politics; for instance, Masonry had flourished for ages, by excluding religious or political discussion. Mr. SUTTER—" I shall persevere in pressing the R.:solution, for the sole purpose of ascertaining the present sentiments of the Corporation. I stand upon boa' ground, and I fear not; it is nut to be endured, that if the Lord Mayor should- come forward with a toast, he should be dragooned by the Newspapers. Th! Committee has gone beyond its duty." Sir E. STANLEY—" The Committee, I contend for it, has not stept beyond its duty, which was to make arrangements for the reception of his Majesty—for that purpose union was necessary, and it was their business to bury in oblivion all those dissentions and party questions, which had agitated the country so lore;. Loyalty and insult are not necessary compa nions ; 1 have no objection to stand or fall in public estimation with the Committee. Thus explained— so far from deserving censure, the Committee have done an act which has been honoured with the King's approbation, and that of their fellow-citizens; his Majesty could have been, and was entertained, with out holding forth the triumph of situation. In fol lowing that line of conduct, I have never deviated from those principles by which I have always been , attained. We have laboured to support our station is society without degradation, and without unneces sary triUmph." ilr. WILLIS said, that the union that existed in fis country was the salvation of it, and it laid the Icondation of much more future happiness ; it re minded him of the old fable in iesop, of the bundle of sticks untied, tied and clubbed together they mid nt be broken. _ MLNlontit suti disapproved of the conduct of those Gatemen who now bring forward such a motion, for they had approved at one time of a hat they now ciukain. lie said they had compromised nothing— they ha,s only thrown away bad passions—(Applause). Mr. SEMPLE wished that the motion might be mo dified., i (1. not like a motion of thanks, he ob- he vas strred, toi the Furpoe directly expressed thus— "that it should be black-beaned ;” it is unfair and ungentleinan ike. kr. Sur un—" I hope the speaker does not at tiihnte to rue any departure lions the conduct of a Gentleman." Mr. SEMPLE disclaimed any such intent, and said, that the left-handed motion now before the House vas intended to afford a measure by a division, of the change of political sentiment in the Corporation; but the object must fail; for as the Committee abstained from political actions, all that the division can afford vill be a measure of a change of manner. Some Members may pant for a relapse into comparative arharity. He trusted their nuniber was but small, that they would soon perceive they had no cause to rest upon, and soon imbibe the plain and common tensical loyalty which unquestionably governs the majority of the Corporation. Some discussion took place respecting the necessity of introducing Sir A. 13. King's name into the vote of Lanks to the Mansion house Committee. 'A ballot took place respecting the introduction, Vten there appeared for it, 47—Against it, 32—Ma jotity for the introduction, 15. Mr. SUTTER persisted in proceeding to a ballot on I.3 nriginal proposition, in order to decide the goes *Whether the Cop. , : anion h A d , or had not, changed their political line of conduct? He censured and ‘tisarovied the conduct of the Committee, who, he "jr came to the adoption of Resolutions contrary LO the spirit and principles of the Corporation. He said that he would fearlessfy abide a ballot, because le was certain that they had not changed their °pi llions: if they had, he would soon know it. Mr. JOSEPH HENRY Moose said, that his Majesty vas not only King of the Protestants, but also of the Catholics, and conceived that the object (lithe mover 4.3 % to pass a censure on the late Lord Mayor. The question wa; now loudly called for, and was accordingly put. The numbers were :—For the vote of Illa• 116 to Sir A. B. King and the Mansion House Committee, 50—Against it, 40—Majority far the vote of thanks, 10—((;roat upplausc). At titue o'clock, the LOAD MAYOu dissolved 1110. Assembly, when Sir A. B. Ktwo returned thanks for the manner in which his conduct had been aproved of. Having been elected, under peculiar circum stances, by that House, it afforded him pa, ticular gratification, on his retirement from the arduous du ties of his office, to have received the unanimous ap probation of the body who elected him. It was also a source of satisfaction and p•ide, to find that his brethren of the Board, who did not participate in that election, now came forward unanimously to join in the compliment so handsomely voted him this day. " I have," said Sir Abraham King, " to return thanks to the Gentleman who brought under discus sion my political conduct as Chairman of the Man sion House Committee, as the result of it has proved that the good sense and good feeling of this House is in perfect unison with his Majesty's most gracious recommendation, to forbear and conciliate, and which happy moderation and conciliation, I trust, will con tinue for ever." DUBLIN, OCTOBER 22. Strong detachments of troops have been marched to Limerick and the adjoining disturbed districts; but as they have scarcely yet had time to operate in a combined plan, outrages and robberies for arms still continue. Major Warburton arrived in town on Saturday to give information to the Government as to the nature of the disturbances, and the best means of restoring order. By the Arms Act, any Magis trate or High Constable can search suspected dwell ings for fire-arms and seize them, if the registry be not produced. It is probable then, that a general and minute search of the houses of the peasantry will take place, and to prevent any large number of the ban ditti from assembling at one time, it is likely that the country will be scoured nightly by patroles of horse and foot, but this mode of proceeding, in the mean time indispensable, would rather suppress, than era dicate the evil, which now bears a frightful aspect. It is almost impossible to stay the hand of the assassin, when nearly the wliole population counte nance his atrocious deeds. While Mr. Going's corpse was carried to the grave, the peasantry, everywhere as it passed, expressed satisfaction; and when Mr. Spading was killed they seemed to be aware of the event for miles round, and gave a shout when they heard the report of the muskets. In this state of moral depravity we find the people of the disturbed parts of the County of Limerick, and what check to murder and outrage can be proposed, immediately, but coercion of the most prompt and vigorous kind? 'fuesday night last, a party of armed men attacked the dwelling-house of Mayn, a farm belonging to Major Sullivan, and succeeded in stripping a quan tity of lead from off the roof, evidently for the pur pose of making balls. The house of Mrs. Fitzgerald, at Ballenleina, and several others in the same neig hbourhood, were robbed, on Wednesday night, of fire-arms. At Mrs. Fitzgei ald's, the villains obtained two cases of pistols, two blunderbusses, and two muskets. A man of the name of Anglim, who was a witness at the last Assizes in the case relating to Newcastle, got a situation last week in a merchant's store in Limerick, through the intervention of a friend, who did not wish him to return to the country, and by the particular desire of the man himself. He remained in the employment two days, and having gone at meal hours the third, has not since been heard of : he did not receive or call for his wages. A few nights since, the house of George Green, Esq. near Dungarvon, was, in his absence, attacked and robbed, notwithstanding a valiant defence made by Green's brother, in which that Gentleman was badly wounded. A notice,_ signed ,4 Captain Rock," was posted on the door of John Ambrose, near Newcastle, tenant to Mr. Morony, threatening him with destruction if he did not surrender the farm which he had the pre sumption to lease, after a tenant who was ejected bad abandoned it. The Charleville Yeomanry are now on permanent duty, in consequence of the outrages which occur nightly in that neighbourhood. The Adare Yeomanry Corps, which was most dis tingui,hed during the Rebellion, is also to be placed on duty. Their Captain, Richard Smyth, Esq. has liberally offered £5O for the apprehension of the mur derers of Walsh,who wasassassinated on Monday night. A Yeomanry Corps is about to be established at Hospital, in the county of Limerick. Major-General Sir John Lambert, K.C.B. has been directed to fix his head-quarters at Newcastle, in the county of Limerick, and to draw thither as many troops as he shall think necessary to put a total stop to the outrages. His arrival is hourly expected. The 43d are reported to be on their march to Li merick, and it is also stated, that the 11th and 49th Regiments are ordered for the Limerick district. The 42d Highlanders, which moved from Kilkenny to Waterford, are on their march to Limerick, and were to arrive there on Sunday (yesterday). . • Thursday, twenty-four of the 40th Regiment, un der Lieutenant Hibbert, and twenty of the same corps under Lieutenant Quaid, the former from Birr, the latter from Roscrea, arrived in Limerick, on a route to Newcastle. Saturday, three troops of the gd Light Dragoons arrived in Limerick garrison firm Cahir, to await the commands of Sir John Lambert. Sunday, a troop of the same regiment arrived at Newcastle, from Ciczneen. Saturday, Commissary Gelston left Li merick, to make arrangements for the cavalry or dered to be stationed at Newcastle, and the disturbed districts of the county of Limerick. COUNTY OF KILDARE. Colonel Bruen having received information that a l tenant of the namt , of Nowlan intended to carry off his crops, &c. had them diArained, and one man was left in care of them for some days, during which time several persons went on the lands asking questions relative to tht. seizure, &c. On the night before the outrage mentioned, while the keeper was going round the laud, he was attacked by five men, armed with guns, swords, and pitchf►rks, who laid hold of him, dragged Lir► into Nowlan's house, threiv a quilt over his head, and tied him with ropes, so as to cut his wrists. They said they would bind Nowlan, and went through a ceremony to deceive the keeper— they left guard on him from ten o'clock at night until half-past seven in the morning, during which time they carried off a quantity of oats, wheat, &c. as also horses, carts, and household furniture. On Nowlan being informed that the party had gone away, he stood up without any assistance and untied the poor keeper, who was frighteued almost to death. SII:ROBERT wusom No. T.

Sir Robert Wilson having waited on Sir Richard Birnie the same day, with Mr. Wm. Lambton, and renewed his demand for a copy of the information on oath, Sir Richard informed Sir Robert Wilson," that no information in writing had been taken ; that the information was a verbal une, founded upon a report at the Freemasons' Tavern, of a Meeting having been held at Hammersmith, at which an Officer had been present; but that, on the examination of the Tavern-keeper at Hammersmith, Mr. Youde, all the Magistrates were satisfied Sir Robert Wil -1 son bad never been In the house." • R.

THE AFFRAY AT KNIGHTSBRIDGE.—Mr. CONANT has addressed the following letter to a Morning Paper: " Great Marlborough-street, Oct. 23. " Ste—Having seen a statement in your Paper of last Monday, reflecting on my conduct as a Magistrate, I trust that you will do me the justice to insert my reply to it. You state, speaking of the Knightsbridge Riot, that 'the fact, as produced on oath, is, that Mr. Conant never read the Riot Act to the People at an —he read it within the Barrack-yard, to the soldiers and consta bles, and for their sole benefit.'—Now, the fact is, that I read the Riot Act in the public turnpike-road, opposite the Barrack gate, shortly before eight o'clock on the evening of the Riot, and it was immediately announced to the People'by placards. " This fact, of the Riot Act having been read outside of the Barracks, has been sworn to some time since, by several wit nesses, and, among them, by G. E. Blanc, the same Constable who was examined at the Westminster Se ssions last week, and who, according to your report of the trial, merely states, that Mr. Conant read the Riot Act,' without saying where. have only to add, that the riot continued hom the time of my arrival up to the period of the Riot Act having been read. " I am, Sir, your humble servant, (Signed) " G. E: CONANT." FATAL ACCIDENT AT KENSINGTON.--.The young Gentleman who was killed at Kensington on Sunday evening last, by being thrown from his horse (as is supposed), was yesterday owned. The advertising that his linen was marked with the initials " A.D." led his friends to a discovery of his lamentable fate. His name is ARCHIBALD DOUGLAS, the son of DotroLns, Esq. of Dorset -street, May-fair. It was supposed that he had been robbed and inhumanly beaten, from the circumstance of his seals and keys being missing; but his watch being left in the fob, and his purse, containing six sovereigns, remaining in his pocket, it was concluded that the former were lost at the time he fell from his horse. It appears that he dined on Sunday at a Gentleman's house near Richmond, and left for town in the evening. A Jury sat oa the body on Tuesday night at Knightsbridge, before TriomAs tirms, Esq. Coroner ; and there being no witness to prove how the accident occurred, they returned a verdict—" That the deceased's death was caused by a fracture on his skull; but how the injury sx as produced, they had no evidence upon which they could determine." _ _ LIVERPOOL, OCT. 22.—The Election of the Mayor was decided this afternoon, at four o'clock, after one of the severest contests ever remembered. Mr. RD. &MEIN was elected by a majority of 52. The num bers polled were—for Mr. BULLINT, 1619—Mr. Mo- LYNEUX, 1567. Three hundred and ten freemen have voted at this Election more than polled in 1818 for Members for the Borough. ..kIEETINC .:r THE CIT Vor iONDON V!!

HUNTING. The following is a list of the principal Packs of Hounds now hunted in Yorkshire :—The Earl of Darlington's Fox-hounds, Earl Fitzwillian's Fox-hounds, Eatl cf liarew•ood's Fox-hounds, Lord Yarborough's Fox-hounds, Sir M. M. Sykes's Fox-hounds, the' Larnbton Fox-hounds, the York and Ainsty Fox-hounth, the Sinnington Fox-hounds, the lloxby and Clevpland Fox hounds, the Northumberland Hounds, the York City Harriett, the Holdermss Harriers, and the Shcffield Harriers. The pickpockets and other thieves conducted them selves at the fight at Moulsey Hurst, on Monday, in a manner so audacious and infamous, as even to sur pass the robberies and brutalities of the West-end gang. Not content with surrounding and plundering every decently dressed person at the fight, the cow ardly ruffians, after knocking down their victims, struck them with bludgeons when down, until de prived almost of their senses. Such a scene of violence and wickedness has been seldom witnessed, and the villains were all in organized gangs. Monday night W. Berrell, aged 80 years, boot maker, in Mary-la-Bonne-lane, after partaking of a hearty supper, retired to bed in excellent health, but, on Mrs. Berrell awaking about six o'clock the next morning, she found him a lifeless corpse. ACCIDENT AT NEWBOTTLE COLLIERY..—Jr appears some masons were employed in repairing or altering the chimney of the engine below in this colliery, and about half-past ten o'clock on the night of Wed nesday se'rutight, they complained of want of Curry, one of the wastemen, in order to remedy this inconvenience, broke down a stopping, but unfortu nately, by mistake, broke one that led into an old waste, the foul air in which bur t into the pit and ig nited, but being what is called a standing fire, soon went out. Curry was suffocated on the spot; the rest of the men escaped (some of them through the fire) to the bottom of the shaft, though much burnt. On the workmen coming down at twelve o'clock (the hour of changing), the accident was discovered, and every exertion made to save Curry, but without ef fect. Several men who went into the dangerous parts of the pit, were overcome by the foulness of the air, and were unable to return. On the arrival of Mr. Hill, the viewer at the pit, he immediately de scended with George Steel, the overman, and another; they were proceeding when George Steel, who was much weakened by his former descents, fell; Mr. Hill fell immediatey afterwards, and was cart ied out to the bottom of the shaft by the other man, in a lifeless state. He was put into a cart and conveyed to a house near; the jolting of the cart restored ani mation, and he has since entirely recovered ; but be fore Steel could be rescued from his situation the vital spark had fled. In all, six men have perished ; and two of them, Curry and Steel, have left large families. •
