appears, that en Monday last, Mr. O'Stwvau, a Magistrate, going with a party of military to arrest same of the persons who had recently attacked Lord Bswray, encountered a body of the insurgent pea. santry near Gowgan Barra, a mountainous district, between Macroom and Bantry. The peasantry assembled on the hills in large numbers, sounding horns. and displaying other symp toms of resistance, when they understood for what pur pose Mr. SULLIVAN made his appearance; he suc ceeded, however, after a smart conflict, in which two of the country people were killed, and a man of the name of O'Leary desperately wounded, in arresting bringing into Bantry six of the persons engaged this affray. It is also stated, that one of the sol who had foolishly separated himself from his party, was cut eff by the peasantry, and murdered. —The next day, at an early hour, a party of both horse and foot, under the command of Mr. HEDGES and Captain Ftrzot.mtzues, proceeded to the same place, where they found the people occupying the steep and almost inaccessible hills on both sides of the road, in such numbers, that they did not think it pi udent to attack them in this position until they re ceived a greater accession of force. The County of Cork appears to be the very focus of the mischievous spirit ; and scarcely a day passes without some houses being robbed, or some other violation of the public peace still more outrageou , .— It having been reported that the house of a Mr. LA NG• FiRD, within three miles of Newmarket, was to be nude a military station, the insurgents assembled and burnt it to the ground ; fortunately for the family they did not at the time reside in the house. In the counties Limerick, Kerry, Clare, Tipperary, and Carlow, the outrages are as frequent and as daring as ever : the banditti are uniatimidated either by the vigour of the law, or the strong military pre parations made to - put them down. Yesterday Divine Service was performed to the King's Household, at his MAJESTY s Palace in Pall malt, by the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG. The Duke of YORK arrived in town on Saturday.

Mr. Robert Peel, the Right Ilun. Mr. Charles W)nn, and a large party of Ministerial Noblemen and Gentlemen. THE PARK.—Considering the fineness of the after noon yesterday, there was but an indifferent dispiay in Hyde Park. The Drive, though it was Ailed %.ith carriages of every kind—barouches and barouchets, landaus and landaulets, family machines, gigs, den nets, and tilburies—yet it could not boast of a single coronet, and the LORD MAYOR'S equipage was the most conspicuous affair in the Ring. OPERA-House.—This House was extremely bril liant on Saturday night. The Boxes were filled with beauty; the Ladies never appeared more elegantly dressed. In the Pit, which was crowded to inconve nience, were many Noblemen and Gentlemen of dis tinction; Lord ERSKINE was amongst the number, and seemed to be in good health and spirits. The new Opera was repeated, and went off very well. DRURY•LANE.—The Tragedy of Othello was re presented at this Theatre on Saturday night, Mr. KEAN playing Ingo, according to the announcement in the bills, for the last time. He seemed to be in particular good spirits, and the air of careless gaiety and jovial companionship with which he col:Tied his real nature in his scenes with Roderigo ; the smooth and plausible seeming of honesty, with which he masked his wily schemes when working upon the noble and open-hearted Moor; and the tremendous occasional bursting forth of the demoniac passions that raged within his bosom in some of his soli loquies, were given in his best and happiest style, and elicited continued peals of applause from a highly-gratified and very numerous audience. Mr. CGOPER was the Othello, and gained considerable approbation. Mrs. W. WEST'S Desdemona was an enchantingly chaste and interesting performance; and !qrs. EGEHTON displayed her wonted energy and dis crimination in marking the distinctive traits • of the character of Emilia. The interesting Opera of Paul end Virginia was revived for the Afterpiece, and seemed to afford more gratification than any Piece of its kind which has for a long time been brought fur ward. It was strongly and most effectively cast, and the exertions of all the performers were fairly and happily put forward. CoveNT-GARDEN.—The Play of The Tempest was revived on Saturday night at this Theatre. Miss M. ..fitEE i esumed her favourite part of Arid. The sing ing was beautiful, particularly the 4' Eche Dud," vhich was executed by Miss STEPHENS and Miss Ilati.asne, and loudly encored. The House was crowded with a most elegant audience. a NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. • Saturday the liil3l_ll_2ches for Bence°len and China, by the ship Thames, Captain W.

His Excellency General Sir T. MAITLAND intended to embark in the ROCHEFORT, for Malta.

Pinresest, Esq. on Saturday, A Mr was t he only witness eaantined. She was sister to Mtu , ;rar;ell, the person to whom Bell was supposed to have been married in tbe year 1800, at St- Dtinstan's in the Vf; but she could give no evidence respect ing that marriage. Me was several doses about to state wind ,olto heet aimed lapel die ined, but in dile she was stopped by iiiiiostnia, who desired her to state nothing but what cause "Mk her own knowledge. She then said she did pot knew that the person named Bell was married to her sister; that she had never seen him but once in lier lite, and then he was talking to her sister, at the door, in the dusk of the evening. This was more than twenty years ago, and she did nut think she should recollect his person, were she to see hint. The Magistrate de sired her to look round and try if she could recognize him in , the crowd of persons in the Office. She did so, repeatedly and very deliberately, and at length pointed to Edmund Bell, the prisoner,who stood promiscuously among the crowd, as the per son most resembling the one whom she had seen talking to her sister. Of course her evidence amounted to nothing. Indeed, as Mr. After observed, it was almost impossible that any one could recollect a person, after a !ape of twenty years, whom they never saw but for a few moments,when it was almost dark. Ellis, the officer, now stated that he had no further evidence to produce. He had made every inquiry after Elizabeth Bailey, the woman married to the prisoner in 1890, and Mary Aim Read, to whom he was supposed to have been married in 1608. Bailey was living with him at the time of his apprehttsion, but she had since gone out of the way; and Mary Ann Read had also purposely left her place in Baker-street, and was gone no one knew whitEer. He (Ellis) had spared neither exertion nor expense, but he had not been able to gain the slightest informs tion respecting the present residence of either of them. This being the case, the Magistrate directed the officers to demand aloud whether there was any person present who had any com plaint to prefer against Edmund Bell, or any information to give respecting him ? No reply was made to this demand ; and then the prisoner was held to bail, himself in £4OO, and two sureties in 42200 each, for his appearance at the ensuing Quarter Session, to answer any complaint which may there be made against him. Ensign G. S. charged with stealing some silver spoons in the house of Mrs. Wickson, of Conduit-street, was placed at the b a r, for the third time, and no person appearing to prosecute bins, though they had been summoned to attend and give evidence, the Magistrate ordered that a warrant should by Limed to bring forward the necessary witnesses, and remanded the prisoner for further examination en Saturday next. At night, W. Green, a baker, in Broad street, St. Giles's, ap pared before Sir Rieman, Biases, upon an information charging Lim with weighing his bread with improper weights, contrary to the Statute. This Mr. Green had been convicted the day be fore of selling light bread, and pleading poverty, the Magistrates, in pity, mitigated the penalty to Ss. 6d. per ounce only; but Mr. Green, nevertheless, thought proper to appeat against th e ir con viction, contrary to the advice of his own Solicitor. It was now proved, that in weighing a half-quartern loaf at his shop, half pence and penny-pieces were used instead of standard-weights ; and thereupon the Magistrates convicted him in the penalty of 40a. with costs ; and against this conviction also he manfully ap. pealed. 'ibis is the worthy baker who candidly confessed to the Magistrates that he never should be able to get rich whilst in formers were allowed to come into his shop ! Manstow-Hou,s.—M. Stales, a carcase-butcher in Whitechapel, was charged with assaults by the oecupitr of the City Green-yard, Mr. Blackburn, the Foreman of the Inquest of Portsoken Ward, and Forrester, a Constable. It appeared that a numerous lock of sheep were driven on Sunday, during service-time, towards Mr. Scales's premises, when Forrester sent them to the Green yard. The next day Mr. Scales and his men went to the Green gard and offered part of the penalty, which being refuted, he drove them away by force, and assaulted the keeper. He soon after told Mr. Blackburn, whom he supposed had urged For rester to take the sheep, that he would shoot him if he meddled with his sheep on the highway—and Forrester, that a pistol should be the end of him if he played any more Green-yard tricks. Mr. Scales persisted, in the presence of the Loan Maros, that he was acting legally, stating that the officer had no right to interfere on the Sabbath-day, unless in cases of treason, felony, and breaches of the peace ; and repeated his threats to shoot any man who laid hands on his sheep.—He was ordered to find bail. Harrow-GA ILDlM—Saturday, a pauper in Clerkenwen work house was charged with being riotous and disorderly, and having been frequently before charged with a similar offence, :he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the Roux of Correc tion. Shortly after her being locked in one of the strong-rooms, the officer in waiting came and informed the Magistrate that she was taken in labour, and that there was immediate necessity to remove her. Her commitment was instantly made out, a coach ordered, and she was taken to prison, where she was put into the Infirmary. LAW CHANCES IN Tars txa.—The Lord Chief Justice Downs has resumed his scat in the King's Bench. It is considered certain, however, that his Lordship will close his judicial labour with the present Term. It is kt own that Mr. Serjeant Jos' has more than once declined any appointment beneath a Chief Jug ticeship. Report now states that the Learned Serjeant accepts the seat vacated by Judge DALY, with a positive promise of Lord NOREURY'S place, whenever that becomes vacant.-- Six new King's Counsel have been created, namely, Messrs. FRENCH, BLACKER,GZONGE BANNETT, BLACILIURNN, Sir H. MIRE 05TH, and Klatants. Mr. Chairman TORRENI and Mr. EDWAKD PANNIFATHZR are still spoken of as sure of the first new Ser jeantries. —Freeman's Juunsal. Friday the Marquis Wr.s.Lenry proceeded in his travelling carriage, attended by an Aid-de-Camp, to the Court of Chan cery, Dublin, where his Excellency took the Qualification Oaths, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. When his Excellency returned to his carriage, the court-yarkwas crowded by Gentlem en an d Lawyers in their Robes, thf farmer took off their bats, and the latter respectfully bowed, Which his Excellency, in the most 4f fable manner, returned. Monday hiving been the first day of Hilary Term, the Lay Courts were opened, and the Judges repaired to their respective Courts, the usual formalities having been previously complied with.

DODS LEY'S AN NUA L REG ISTE R.—The Proprietors of this Work have the satisfaction to announce, that the printing of the Volume for 1820 will be completed in a very few weeks. The unusual delay which has occurred in the publication Is at tributable to a change in the conduct of the Work, the illness of its Conductor, and the unparalleled quantity of events, foreign and domestic, which required to be compressed within moderate, though not the usual limits. The commencement of a new Reign sogrsted the propriety of introducing, for the first time, a va riety of useful Lists and Documents, to exhibit to future ages the present political state of the Empire. Three Revolutions abroad, and an extraordinary number of State Trials, all of which are given, and without which an Annual Register would be in complete, sufficiently account for at least a part of the delay. But a similar delay need not again be apprehended, as the Vo lume for 1821 will be published at the usual time. The Editor's object has been to omit nothing which it may hereafter be de sirable to know, and to leave nothing iuconaplete; and the Pub lishen are quite ready to rest their claims to the high public pa tronage which the Work has ever possessed, on the character of the forthcoming Volume. CORN Excnailos, MART -LAWN, Jaw. 28.—We had a plentiful supply of Wheat to-daj from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, but the chief part was of very inferior quality, and but few sales were made, but prime samples fully support the prices of this day se'nnight. The arrivals of Batley were tolerably large from Suffolk, but very little of it was fit for the rnaltsters' use, which caused ready sale, for the little that appeared of fine quality, at last Monday's prices.
