If the business of the day be con luded. then we have not done that for which we Theie ha been no Petition read." The Ilion Sneairr.—" Although the business is iishe3, yet I will allow the reading of the Petition." Several voices—" We will not have the Petition without Reform." The High Sheriff succeeded at last in putting the 3tion that the Petition he read. His words were answered by loud cries of " No Petition ;" and the shew of hands on the affirmative side did not amount to more than twenty. When he put the ne gative side of the question, every hand, with the ex 'ion of those abovementioned, was elevated in ,ar of it. After this decision, the High Sheriff again declared Meeting to be dissolved. Still the Requisitionists . not quit the ir pasts. Mr. Gooch, Lord CA LTLIORPE, and Lord DuNwte.B then left the Hustings. Mr. MEREST hoped that the Freeholders would not separate, as a Requisition was at that very mo ment in course of signature, calling upon the High Sheriff to convene a Meeting to take into consider ation the depressed state of agriculture, and also the necei.ity of a Reform in the COmmons House of Pal liament—(Loud cheering). He requested the in telligent Yeomanry of the county to come forward and sign the next Requisition. The Duke of G RA rrox came forward, and informed the Meeting that be had just been given to under and, that the High Sheriffconceived himself justi fled, in his own opinion, for the plan he had just. dopted (and here his Grace observed that he was sorry that he could not consider the High Sheriff as justified in his); still that high Officer had no ob jection to a:tend immediately to their Requisition in , favour of Reform ; and if a Meeting oil that subject could be legally held that day, his Grace said that he was harpy to inform them that it would be held im nteJiatel y.—(Loud cheer ing). Several Gentlemen then withdrew to consult whe ther the Sheriff had the power to convene a second County Meeting to be held on the same day with a first. On their return they informed the Meeting that, according to the Gentlemen learned in the law whom they had consulted, another Meeting could be legally held that day in the open air. The Requisition for a second Meeting was signed by Ilk Grace the Desk, of NORFOLK, his Grace the DJ Le of GRAF CON, Sir He MINIUM% Sr IL HA R• L AND, Sir W. Mtoourros, Sir W. PAREER Sir T.W.

Sir ROBERT HARLAND seconded the motion. _ The Htctt SuEntry, before he put the question, suggected to the Meeting the propriety of waiting for the return of Mr. Gooch, and of several Gentlemen had quitted the hustings. He was informed that Mr. Gooch had been sent for, and in all probability w mild return in a few minutes. A pause of a few minutes occurred ; but, as Mr. Gooch did not make his re-appearance, the thou STICRIFF put the Resolutions to the Meeting: they were carried unanimously, and amidst the loudest cheerio"... On the Resolution in favour of Reform being put, a Gentleman proposed that it should be culled with three cheers. The proposition was im mediately acceded to. The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the High Sheriff, when Mr. MEREST proposed the 10th Resolution, which is as follows " W. That these Resolutionsbe enbodied in a Petition, which shall be presented to the Commons House of Parliament, con veying our strong but respectful solicitations that its attention way be given without delay to this most important subject, and that effectual measures may be adopted for the relief and pro tectito of the owners, occupiers, and labourers of the land, as wt-1I as of the other profitable classes of the Britiih people." After being seconded, it was cart led unanimously. Mr. MEREST then proposed that the Petition be presented to Parliament by Sir W. Rowley and T. S. Gooch, Esq. the Representatives of the County, and that they be instructed to support the same. This Resolution was carried in the affirmative. Mr. A. BIDDLE proposed that the thanks of the County be given to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, his Grace the Duke of Grafton, and the other No blemen and Gentlemen who had given up their talents, time, and attention, to forward the objects of the pre sent Meeting. The Resolution was agreed to amid loud cheering. The HIGH &MITT declared the business of the day concluded, and once move dissolved the Meeting. TI I EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1622.

An article from Frank ton, on the authority of intelligence from Trieste of the sth instant, represents the Greeks as making little progress in Livadia, Attica, Thes.saly, and Macedo nia. Ctiounsctim PActtA continues to besiege Joan nina, and leaves the insurgents at liberty to besiege the fortresses on the sea side. On both sides 68 war s carried on with great rancour. Commerce and agri:uittne seem not to be thought of. Two de scendants of members of that formidable inttsei of robbers which ten years ago committed such exteusive depredations on the banks of the Rhine, in the Wet tenau, and the Vosges mountains; have been attempt ing to revive these bands, and had in fact collected about thirty vagabonds for the purpose. By the vi gilance of the police they have been all secured, and the two first-mentioned young men, who are accused of numerous crimes, will be shortly executed at Grjssen- An article from Vienna, dated the 13th January' says.-4 , An official account has been published at Constantinople of the taking of Cassandra by Issons beg, Seraskier of the Turkish army, after he bad be sieged it four months, fired above 25,000 balls at the works, and lost many of his bravest soldiers. The Greeks were taken by surprise, made but a slight re sistance, and lost in t moment the fruits of long la hours. As soon as the town was taken, 3000 Greek inhabitants were cruelly murdered by the Turks; all the fugitives whom they could overtake, and all those who had surrendered, were beheaded the next day, and the women, with the children under 12 years of age, carried off as slaves. The number of Greeks killed or carried into slavery amounted to 10,000. The Turks boasted of their heroism in having set fire to all the neighbouring villages and even to the trees." The Len:berg Gazelle, of the 9th of January, states, that the Ottoman troops in the two principali ties are daily receiving reinforcements. The bodies of many of the unfortunate inhabitants, who have been massacred by the Turks, are exposed on the public road!. Nobody dare attempt to bury them, and they are devoured by the birds of prey. The Paris Papers of Monday last have been re ceived. The Supplement of the Moniteur contains the annual Report of the Governor and Council of the Bank of France, submitted to the holders of Bank Stock. It is a clear and intelligible document, in which every item of debt and credit, of profit and loss, is brought forward with frankness and simpli , city. It appear. that the Bank of France has a fixed capital, amounting to 90,000,000 fr. or £3,750,000; on which sum there has been distributed, within the last year, a dividend of upwards of eight per cent. being 84 francs for each share of 1000 francs, be sides a reserved profit of twelve per cent. more. The general operations of the Bank have, within the same period, acquired a greater magnitude than ever. The bills discounted in 1820, amounted to 254,000,000—in 1821, they increased to 384,000,000. The accounts current during the same period rose from 544,000,000 to 605,000,000. Again, the total amount of receipts and payments during the last year was in specie 546,924,103 ; in paper 7,049,708,000 ;—an enormous mass of pecu niary transactions, especially when it is cnnsideitd that these were exclusive of services rendered to the public Treasury by which some moderate addition was made to the dividend on the shares. It may be worth remarking, in conclusion, that the whole cur rent expenses of this great national establishment, including salaries and all other outgoings, do not ex ceed the sunAf 461,000 francs, or about £19,000 per annum. _ _ These Papers contain the speech of Count DAIw, in the Chamber of Peers, on the Petition of Mr. DOUGLAS Loventa,which was one of the tw•o speeches ordered to be printed. The Count set forth, with great feeling and eloquence, the situation of a father thus bereft of his child, and wished that a full in quiry should be made into all the circumstances of , the case. The Journal of Thoulouse contains a deposition made by a man of the name of THERON, when dan gerously ill, declaring that the evidence which he gave concerning the murder of FUALDES, at Rodea, in which Madame MANSON made such a figure, was false, and that he only did it in order to obtain the pleasure of going into the country. The evidence he gave was, that he saw Jausion, BASTION, COLARD, BACH, and BANCAL, carrying the body of FUALDES down to the River. The wretch now acknowledges that he was not even present at the place mentioned. There is a ridiculous article from Odessa, stating that the Porte has declared a sort of acceptance of the Ultimatum of Russia, by a Note dated the 21 of Llecember, and delivered on the 4th to Count LUT zow by the Reis Effendi. It is said, however, that in this Note the Porte insists on the punishment of the chiefs of the insurrection who have escaped, and re fuses to evacuate the principalities, or to accede to the nomination of new /lospodars, until tranquillity he re-established :—That is to say, the Porte refuses all the demands made by Russia, and yet it is called an acceptance of the Ultimatum. The accounts from Andalusia of the general sub mission of the discontented Authorities, state, that the Freemasons' Lodges have co-operated with great success in the reconciliation which has been-brought about between that province and the capital. An amnesty is talked of, by which the party of ToneNo, QUIRNOO, MARTINEZ, &c. would seek to conciliate beforehand the party of Ritmo, which it is antici pated will possess the preponderance in the new Cortes, which meet on the Ist of March. The news frdm Madrid in the French Papers comes down to the 17th instant. Everything was tranquil in the calital, and the obedience of the city of Cadiz to the orders of Government was no longer doubted. It is stared, on the authority or a private letter, that ' • w+ • several pen Ons bid been arrested Cadia on th' sth instant: • - • • The account o the Agricultural Meeting at Suf folk, which we this skay present; will, we doubt not, be read with great interest, not only on account of the distinguished persons who attended it, but also from the proceedings which toOk place. After a' variety of expedients have been picipOsed and pallia tives attempted, the landed interest becomes at length convinced, this; it is not by Corn Laws regn• lating the imports ani exports, that the agricultural distress can be alleviated; but that the only real and efficient relief is in the most rigid economy in every department of the State, and in a reduction of the public expenditure. Private letters f received yesterday by express, state, that a panic prevailed in the minds of the foreign holders of British Stock in Paris, that a tax would be imposed upon this desctiption of property, and a number of Powers have been received to sell out on their behalf. Similar orders have been received by the Dutch Mail this morning. DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND. The accounts from Ireland are not yet very satis factory as to the late affray near Macroom, although various versions of it are given. .It appears that another engagement occurred between a party of the Rifle Brigade, who had charge of some cars laden with ammunition, which they were accompanying from Macroom to Bandon, and a party of the same deluded people, at a place called Clara Mountain, near Kilinurry, in which some of thr latter were killed and wounded. There are no farther particulars known of these occurrences. KERRY, JANUARY 26. A coach from Killarney, conveying a mail 'from that town has just arrived. The accounts wbieh we have received on this occasion are, that the military who proceeded from Killarney had returned in the evening, as the insurgents whom they went to attack had dispersed on hearing of the approach of the party from Killarney. The military, however, succeeded in making prisoners of eight men, as they were dis persing, who were brought forward to our jail by the coach, escorted by five dragoons and five Gentlemen from Killarney. Mr. Brereton, the respectable Mail Coach Agent, in this town, was yesterday murdered by the insur gents, on the road between Killarney and Macroom, at Inchabeg. This most respectable man went for ward yesterday morning from our Post-office, in the personal conveyance of the mail to Killarney. His duty did not require his proceeding farther, but he also made an attempt, with uncommon bravery, to proceed to Millstreet. Upon coming up with the as sembled insurgents, they called upon him to stop, which he refused ; after having proceeded some way through them, he was again interrupted, when he pre sented a pistol, and made a spirited effort to get for ward. Ills horse was immediately cut with a scythe, and he himself received a blow on the head, which brought him to the ground, after which he was cruelly murdered. Mr. Brereton has left a pregnant wife, and a young family of five children. COUNTY OF. LIMERICK. • Tuesday evening, the 21st inst. about seven o'clock, upwards of twenty men, all armed with muskets, en tered Curragh House, the seat of Sir AUBREY DE VERB , Hutrr,Bart. On entering the kitchen-door, they called for the gardener, and having proceeded to the room where he was, about ten of them took him by the neck and dragged him outside the house into the yard, where others of the pasty had secured the steward.— The Captain ordered them both to prepare for death, to take off their neck-handkerchiefs, and place them over their eyes. After some time, however, a book was produced, and the gardener was sworn to leave Curragh by the Ist of February, or he should cer -tainly suffer death. The steward, who is a native of the place, was more leniently dealt with, as he was only reprimanded, and cautioned not to be so atten tive in future. They were all disguised. Sir Au- BIM HUNT is at present in London. His MAJESTY has been pleased, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Ireland, to appoint— Robert Hamilton, Esq. to be Prothonotary in the Civil side of the Court of King's Bench, in Ireland; Dawson Church, Esq. to be Itilacer, in the said Court; Michael Cormiek, Esq. to be Clerk of the Appearances in said Court ; Robert Cooper, Esq. to be Clerk of the Writs, in said Court; Joseph Farrar, Esq. to be Clerk of the Pleas, in the Pleas or Common Law side of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland ; Henry Carey, Esq. to be Illacer, in said Court; Henry Yeo, Esq. to be Clerk of the Rules, in said Court. The Chronology of the last Fifty Years, brought down to 1822, has just appeared. This Work must be regarded as the most useful Book of reference in the English language. It serves, in a compendious form, as a substitute for a file of Newspapers during the same period, or for a similar series of Annual Registers, or Magazines. KING'S THICATIa—PACINI . B Opera of Il ßarone di Do'Atha was again repeated ou Tuesday night, and wethink with improved effect. CA RTONI'S personation of that eccentric Monarch, Frederick the Great, pos sesses much merit, and experience has enabled him to adapt his voice better to the size of the Theatre than on his first appearance. In Madame CAUPORESE we know not which to admire most, the pathetic and supplicating manner of her appeal to the clemency, or rather the justice, of the Monarch, or the sweet strains in which it is poured forth. AMBROGETTI, who never tails in any character where there is the least chance of succeeding, is highly amusing in Brandt. At the conclusion of.the Opera the national anthem of GOD save the King was sung by the whole strength of the Theatre. The House was crowded, and among the distinguished personages we noticed— The Duke of Montrose, the Duke and Duchess of Argyle, the Count and Countess St. Antonio, the Marchioness of Bath, the Marquis Graham, th e Earl of Westmorland, the Earl of Glengall, the Earl of Uxbridge, the Earl of Jersey, the Countess of Aboyne, the Dowager Mucbioness of Lausdown, Viscount and Viscountess Hampden Lord Hill, Lord Burghersh, Lord Lowther, Lord Erskine, ard A.

Friday, Sir CHARLES STUART, the British Ambas sador at Paris, and his Lady, enlivened the fashion able circle of that city with a magnificent ball and supper. The Countess of JERSEY, the Marchioness of DOWNSHIRE, the Ladies HILL, and all the distin guished English families resident in Paris were present. The Mayon and Corporation of Cork have pre sented the freedom of that city in a gold box to the Marquis WELLESLEY, and in a silver box to W.

Tuesday evening, after the breaking up of the Ca binet Council, Mr. %riot, the King's Messenger, was sent off with dispatcLes to Italy. It is reported that during the late war, private bargains were made by the Commissioners of the Victualling Office for ten thousand tierces of Irish pork, at thirty thousand guineas higher than the market price at that period, or for six months before or after! Oue of the most considerable commercial houses at Vienna, (in the silk trade), which has been estab lished nearly sixty years, suspended payment on the .sth instant.

An old sportsman informs us, that, being out shooting on Sa turday last, he found the partridges almost all paired—scarcely a covey to be seen—a circumstance which he never before observed so early in the season, and which must be attributed to the re. markable mildness o f weather.--IberdeenJeurterd. A dreadful contest took place, in the night of Friday last, be tween six gamekeepers of the Marquis Coanwaws and a gang of siveen poachers, on one of his Lordship's manors in Suffolk, in which one of the former was so much injured by a ►hot in his side, that his life is despaired of. The lest were so severely beaten that the poachers were able to pursue their unlawful de• sign without molestation. There are already eleven names entered for the Four.in-hond ate. The favourite vehicle is to be a I.todaulet, painted a cho colate brown, with brass furniture, unornaniented with either arms or crest.
