The LORD MAYOR, the Aldermen, Sheiiifs, Mr. OLDHAM, Mr. Ex-SLeriff WILLIAMS, and the nume rals assemblage of the Court of Common Council, were most gracion , ly received, and had the honour to kiss his M A JESTY'S hand. The KING afterwards called the LORD MAYOR tO V i m and very condescendinvly and graciously aro loglised for detaining his Lor d.hip,' the Conn ~f Al deform, and the Gentlemen of the Common Council. a ni observed, " I trust, my Lord, that the Corpora tion of the City of London will excuse my detaining them. I much re2ret the circumstance, and assuie you that nothing but the most important and pressing business prevented me from receiving you exactly at the time appointed." His MAJESTY also very graciously regretted that ithad not been in his power to dine with the Corpo ration on Lord Mayor's Day. The KING gave audiences to the Earl of LIYER• ipon, the Marquis Of LONDONDERRY, Viscount SID MUM, the Marquis of CAMDEN, an A imiralYoLNG, 1,110 delivered to his MAJESTY the Gr tud Cross worn by the late Sir WILLIAM YOUNG.—The Court broke ep about six o'clock. . BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER 16. of Poo mt. .511 Doi tie 0 unit', Flo filer o►! uisto etor, 61: 1 4 1 11101t1 MAO 1);t1 There was a Public Meeting held at the Old Ship, m Wednesday, to consider of the nicht proper man berofgiving vent to those feelings of attachment and devotion, so justly due and telt by the inhabitants of Brighton innards our bel,ived SOVEREIGN, on his return to this his favourite town. After considerable discussion, it was agreed to adjourn to this day, in order to afford an opportunity to mature the plans in agitation, as also to give the visitors an oppor tunity of delivering their sentiments on the occasion. Today there was a very numerous attendance of tack and fashion, when it was agreed to present a loyal and dutiful Address to his MAJESTY, and that theinhabitants should go in Procession to m eet his /CHESTY, on his entrance to Brighton, and as judi dassly remarked by our worthy and revered Ma te, J. M.CRIPPS, Esq. that every one should emit a loud and hearty welcome, to satisfy his Ma wr that our lungs are as sound as our hearts. No ihnination will take place, it being suggested by &DAVID SCOTT that there are so many invalids ad young children, it might prove inconvenient. The principal speakers were General Sir JOHN bone, Bart. General Sir RICHARD KERRISOIV, Ge seal BAILEY, Sir DAVID SCOTT, Bart. J. M t2RIPPS, Lobe Rev. Mr. EVEHARD, Dr. STYLES, SCC. SCC. General Dovces speech brought down thunders of applause. On stating the reception his MAJESTY had net with in Ireland, and the cordial unanimity that reigned in all Irish hearts, from the kind and benefi cent part his MAJESTY had acted, Sir RICHARD KERRISON rose and stated, that be li • ad just returned from the Continent, and was in all the places where his MAJESTY was, and he could assure the Meeting that not the smallest slight had been shewr. to our beloved Monarch, as stated in dis affected public prints; hut that one uniform and en thusiastic applause had met him—alike honourable to tht people on the Continent as grateful to his heart. J.M.CRIPPS, Esq. delivered an eloquent speech in Proposing a loyal and dutiful Address to the Kr NG— leaving an impression on all present which will not be easily effaced. Mr. CHIN'S being one of our most revered and principal Magistrates, alike humane as impartial, met with a warm reception and rapturous applause.—Mr. KEMP (the Lord of the Manor) was in the Chair, and ably filled it. We have had extremely stormy weather ; to-day it bas blown a strong gale from S.W. as well as all last night. I fear we shall have sad accounts from the coast.—The town is filling fast with the Nobility.— The establishment of Steam-packets between this port and Dieppe creates great and universal satisfac 60a, and Mr. ALLAN'S unremitted exertions, in pro moting and forwarding so truly desirable antnder laing, meet with the entire approbation of our worthy Magistrates and inhabitants in general, in a manner that must be truly grateful to his feelings. WPC Y Pl° lo' ROI ylid ce ' 0061.' irsT l ba. 11 roc aPd As the Civic Procession with the Address to his 11 4JESTIM'aS turning round the corner of king-street, altapside, the horse on which Mr.WoN TN ER, the City Marshal, was mounted, took fright, reared, and *re v/ him. Mr. WON TN ER retained the bridle in his 11Ind, when the animal plunged forward and rolled over him. When it rose, it plunged again at Mr. /110 NTNEn as he lay, being probably agitated at the sight of his scarlet uniform. But few of those who 'it!tnessed the scene conceived that the Marshal was still alive. Ile was immediately carried into a shop, a nd front thence conveyed to his house in Ahlgate, there Si r W ILLIAM BLIZARD promptly arrived. — One of his legs was broken in two places, and we tegret to state, that his limb has been obliged to be ameutated a little below the knee joint. Mr. W irer Is, however, in a fair way of recovery. His acci dent is sincerely deplored throughout the City, where he is much esteemed, not only for his gentlemanly ll "P"rtrnent, but for his rigid attention to the duties of his office. RECORDER'S REPORT. . On Thursday the Recoenea made a Report to his MAnsty of the convicts upon whom sentence of death was passed at the last September Sessions, held at the Old Bailey, when the fol lowing unhappy men were ordered for execution on Wednesday: Jose::11 Cadman, aged 26, attorney's clerk ; Edit:foul Sparrow, 21, grocer ; Via Ellis, aged 21, scrivener; Thamas Tapley, aged 23, painter, for uttering forged ES notes of the Bank of England. George Smith, aged 31, labourer; and ,Vol Ca&ia, aged 24, I braziet, for highway roble.ry. Harding, aged 29, labourer, for stealing six sheep. fraffia on Garton, aged 24, bricklayer, for stealing a £5O note. The others were respited during his Mareser's pleasure. Thursday night the Rev. Mr. Corrox, Mr. Barra, and Mr. BROWN, jun. communicated the melancholy intelligence to the unhappy men. On Cadman's receiving the information, he in. stantly exclaimed, "Is my poor wife saved ?" The Gentlemen assured bins that the Royal clemency had been vouchsafed to her. " Thank Goo!" said he, " Then I shall die perfectly happy." The other unfortunate men received the notice of their fate with becoming resignation. It will be recollected, that Cadman and his wife, who were tried for the same (Melee, pleaded guilty, in the hope, as was understood, that the desire evioccd by Cadman, in his commu nication to the Bank of England, to make every reparation in his power for the offence of which he had been guilty, would cause a favourable view to he taken of his ease. He trusted that his mtviously correct conduct, the certificates of several Officers in the Royal Marines, under whom he served fur seven years, and those of a large nnmber of respectable persons, many of whom testified to his uniform good conduct from a very early age, would have induced the extension of the Royal clemency to him, by changing the sentence of death to that of transporta tion. Mr. Baron GRAHAM expressed an opinion that his case was deserving of mercy ; and the long-continued practice of the Bank of England, which has spared the lives of so many noto rious malefactors, seems to have been abandoned, for the first time, in the case of this unfortunate man. THE ARMY. The Hon. Colonel BYRON, M.P. will come into the command of the First Life Guards on the Ist of December. The 86th Regiment, which embarked in four vessels en the Bth inst. from Bristol, arrived at Waterford, after a fine passage of thirty hours. A detachment of the 2d Regiment, or Queen's, under the command of Colonel 1)a BURGH, marched from Chatham Bar tacks on Monday tor Brighton. Saturday and l'ilonday, the remainder of the Ist Battalion of the Sd Regiment of Guards arrived at Chatham Barracks from Plymouth. The Royal Marine Corps having completed their complement of men, with the exception of about 150, wanting for the divi sion stationed at Plymouth, an order has been hissed, calling in all th , rt cruiting panics. An WI, story is current in Devonshire, of two companies of i the i I tit Regiment, now in Ireland, having been cut off in an , affray with a party of Irish peasantry. It is altogether void of i truth. The propagators of such a wicked and cruel report de + serve the severest reprobation. lOne hundred and thirty men were embarked at Plymouth, last week, for Ireland, to be employed in the Preventi v e S ervice in that part of the kingdom. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. By advices from St. Jago de Chili, to the Bth of August, the ships Lord Suffield and Edward Ellice had Vern restored, with their cargoes. The Britannia, HANCOCK, from Oporto to Liverpool, was driven on shore on Saturday night on the coast of Wexford, and it is feared would go to pieces. The Industry, CRAIG, from Liverpool to Linterick,was driven on shore near Sligo on the 4th inst. The Lady Ann, Alcaaar, from Whitehaven to Newcastle, was drivep on shore on the 4th inst. near Dunbar. The Elizabeth, SKY, front Gottenburgh to London ; and the Clara Maria, of Cariscrona, ran foul of each other on the 41st ult. off the Naze of Norway, and it is feared the former foun dered. The latter was nearly a wreck, and it is supposed put into Mandeb'. The Dutch East Indiaman Middlehurgh, Captain Belem, from China and Batavia, arrived if Plymouth on Tuesday, and proceeded fur msteraarn, after landing dispatches. The Here inst frigate, Captain Lti.ticear, arrived at Madeira on the 26th September, after a week's passage front Plymouth; the Captain, passengers (including Lord CHAILLIS Souza:ire and suite) , and crew, all well. She was to sail on the 2cl of October for Rio de Janeiro. FALMOUTH, Nov. 75.—Wind S.S.E.—Put back, the Urania, HINSCH, for Hamburgh. Dim., Nov. 16.—Wind S.W. strong gale.—Arrived and re main the Henry Clay, Parrs, from Virginia ; and several others. I The Good Intent, Paocera, front Buenos Ayres, has lost an anchor and cable ; also a brig, name unknown. This morning a large brig was observed ashore on the Goodwin Sands ; several boats went off to her, but the sea running so high, most of them we-e obliged to return; only one boat reached the vessel, and remained alongside all d..y. At four P.M. she disappeared, and it is supposed her crew have perished. The boat that was along side has not yet returned, consequently we cannot ascertain any further tidings. The vessel was a large long brig, with a figure head, Purposed to be a Dane from the colours she hoisted. alteroae, Nov. 15.—Arrived the Matilda, Pzaesrr, front Malaga. DOVER, Nov. 16.—1 t has blown a gale the whole of last night and this day, accompanied with heavy rain. The Bar Is greatly ' accumulated before this harbour, and nearly obstructs the passage.

" The schooner Two Friends, of this port, was taken posses don of on Saturday, on ha passage from Aruba to this island, by the Spanish privateer Fameso Indiana, which sailed hence last week, and passed us with her prize on Sunday, supposed bound to Porto Cabello. 4 It is reported that these marauders intend to capture all vessels having produce on board which may be expected to have been exported from places in possession of the Colombians, notwithstanding it has been landed at a neutral port, and there re-shipped, as was the case with the Two Friends. a Admitting that she bad been captured within the prescribed limits of the blockade, which is three leagdes from the main land, even then she could not be considered lawful prize, became the ridiculous declaration of blockade of the extensive line of coast now occupied by the Columbian., exists only on paper, the Spanish naval force in these seas being altogether inadequate to the purpose. " We have been told that the Admirals on the Barbadoes and Jamaica stations have written to General Lp Torre, that they cannot acknowledge any blockade when the Tower declaring it I has not a sufficient force to carry it into complete effect." unt • His MAJESTY, while on boardithe Royal Yacht, off the Hill of Howth, gave a goldtriedal to each of the Officers, and a silver one to each of the crew, on his birth-day, and distributed theca in person. DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND. .PROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF WEDNESDAY. COUNTY OF CORK. We regret to state that the accounts from the county of Cork, received by Government, are such as have induced the LORD LIEUTENANT totssue a Proclama tion, declaring the Baronies of Duhallow, Orrery, and Kilmore, in that county, to be in a state of disturb ance, and they are, therefore, put under the operation of the 54th Gen. 111. which authorises an extraordi nary establishment of Police. A few night ago, an armed party made their way into the house of WILLIAM WRIXON, Esq. father to the distinguished Gentleman who represents the Bo rough of Mallow in Parliament. Eight ruifians,well armed, surrounded Mr. WRIXON'S bed, and with their pistols and blunderbusses cockel and presented to wards his head, they obliged him to take an oath that he would send a gun to a particular place at a. particular time. Mr. Warrtox, as a measure of pre caution, had before sent away his fire-arms to a place of safety. If an honourable character, disinterested spirit, and the hospitable and jovial life of a sports man of the first stamp, could tend to obtain any grace, Mr. WRIXON, of Ballygibbin, might well set up a good claim upon those grounds, to be spared from the prevailing outrages ; but the systematic plan of violence in which the peasantry are embarked, in many places, is as indiscriminate in its objects as it is sanguinary in its practices. We have seen a letter from Kildorrery, in the county of Cork, which mentions that the greatest alarm prevails there, and in the immediate vicinity of the place, in consequence of the outrages which are committed every night, by numerous parties of the peasantry, covered with white shirts, who attack every house where they think they can obtain fire-arms. COUNTY OF MAYO. Five of the persons who have been apprehended as Ribbonmen in the Barony of Kilmain, have been com mitted to the county jail by ALEXANDER CLENDINING, Esq. The others are still detained in Ballinrobe, for further examination. The names of those who are fully committed for trial are, James Costello, Mi chael Burke, John Jennings, Murty Farraher, and Monza: Donoghue. The two former are charged with having acted as leaders at a Ballinafad, and with having, as such, administered illegal oaths—and the other three are charged with having attended the Ballinafad and assisted in administering the unlawful oaths. This much we are able to collect from the committal ; but we have heard from another source, that some of these men were amongst the most active promoters of ribbonism—that there is reason to hope their apprehension will lead to the restoration of peace and good order in the Barony of Kilmain—and (what we are very ready to believe) that this advantage has been obtained by the well-judged and well-executed plans of Mr. ALEXANDER CLENDINING. We regret to perceive that the Borough of Quin. borowe continues in so disturbed a state, that it has been thought necessary, on the part of the Magis trates, to hold a Special General Sessions on Monday next, to consider of the expediency of putting in force the duties of watching and warding, for the more ef fectual preservation of the_ peace, agreeably to the Act of the 594 of the late King. Among other noc turnal proceedings which have lately disturbed the, town, on the night of Friday last, some malicious person or persons entered the chuff ch-yard, and knocked off the ball from the top of the mausoleum erected over the family vault of T. Y. GREET, Esq. and otherwise defaced it, and also broke some of the iron railing by which it is surrounded. EARL •BA THURST.—A very serious accident had nearly befallen the Noble Earl yesterday, while pro ceeding in his carriage to attend the KING at Carlton Palace. His Lordship had reached the end of the Kitio's garden-wall in St. James's Park, when one of the horses became suddenly seized with fits, and stag gering forward a few paces, fell, and commenced plunging with his feeneill he threw the other horse. From this situation the Noble Earl was extricated by the prompt assistance of the bystanders. A servant was immediately dispatched to the Palace, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY'S carriage returned for the Earl, who very generously left a sovereign to be di vided among some labouring persons who had assisted him. The harness was obliged to be cut to pieces be fore the horses could be gut up, and the carriage was left on the spot until fresh horses were sent for. Thursday night, as an old man was passing the Shepherd and Shepherdess-fields, he was accosted near the Regent's Canal Bridge by three bargemen, who demanded his money. The old man told them Ire had but one shilling and two farthings. They, however, with horrid imprecations, proceeded to search him, threatening, if he deceived them, to throw him into the ditch. Finding, however, his story true, they took the shilling, and leaving him the farthings, suf fered him to depart. Monday se'nnight, Cornelius Quin, a private in the 84th Regiment, went into the shop of Mr. BUDGIE, shoemaker, in Market-street, Dock, and carried off seven odd boots: on finding himself pursued by the owner, he turned and knocked him down; Mr. BUDGE, however, succeeded in recovering two of the boots, and the others were shortly after found in the pri soner's possession at the Barracks, where he was ap prehended, and has been committed to the County Jail. The Proprietors of the Dartmoor rail-road have sustained a very severe loss (little short of £5,000), arising out of an error in taking the levels in the original survey. The work upon the new line is pro ceeding rapidly, to the satisfaction of all parties. A friend has obligingly favoured us with the fol lowing extract of a letter from Paris, dated the 12th November :—(Morning Herald.) " I have this moment heard of the following event, which is to be deeply lamented: " Yesterday, as the Duke de Bourdeaux was out airing, an attempt was made to murder him, by a fellow, who escaped. He placed himself in the Bois de Boulogne, with a new pistol, fixed between the prongs of a fork to aid his levelling, and fired at the avant domestigue, or pigueur. This man was ob structed by obstacles in the road, and hailed by the fellow to halt, or he would be shot. The fellow fired, and shot the horse, but missed the man. The man who fired ran away, leaving his pistol, hat, and fork. The carriage was far behind." COURT OF KING'S DENCII-(TIIIS DAY). In an Appeal from the Quarter Sessi7ms of Man chester, the Court confirmed a conviction, finding the Trustees of*the late Da ke of Bridgewater's Canal liable to Parochial Rates for the duties levied at the locks on that Canal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. Crouse shooting in Scotland has this year been remarkably fine. HUNTING. The Croiton Hounds, meek on Monday, at Coomb's Grove ; Wednesday, at Wbite-Tlall ; and on Friday, at Potton rood. The East Essex and Thurlow Fox-hounds, meet on Monday, at Birdhrook Park; and Thursday, at Withersfield G a te, Lord Anson's Hounds meet on Monday, at Newbold Gate. The Woreesteribire Honnds meet on Monday, at Broads's tars ; Wednesday, at Hagley Tap-House; and on Friday, at Enville Sheep Walk. The Cheshire Hounds meet on Monday, at Sandiday Nead ; Wednesday, at Dedham ; Thursday, at A.hley-Ilall ; and on Saturday, at Holford-Hall. COURSING. %means Nov. I2. — Yesterday the Autumnal Meeting of the Dumfries - sh ire Coursing Club took place upon Ferneycleugb Moor, when the Cup was run for, and decided as follows: FIRST CLASS. Mr. Staig's blue dog Snap beat Colonel M'Murdo's W. b. Fly. Marquis of Queen .ben y's brindled dog Snake beat Mr. Tay lor's brindled bitch Maggy.—Hare Captain Younger's fawn-coloured bitch Chance heat Captain Grierson's white bitch Patch. . Sir J. 11. Maxwell's blue bitch puppy Helen beat Mr. Bab ington's brindled dog Homer.—Hare killed. Mr. Crawford's blue dog Nimrod beat Major Crichton's fawn-coloured bitch Butcherina. Major Carrutbers's white bitch Fly beat Mr. Lenny's brindled dog Spring.--Hare killed. - _ SECOND CLA St. 'Marquis of Queensberry's brindled dog Snake beat Mr. Staig's blue dog Snap.—Hue killed. • Sir J. H. Maxwell's blue bitch puppy Helen beat Captain Younger's fawn-coloured bitch Chance.—Hare killed. Major Carruthers's white bitch Fly beat Mr. Crawford's blue dog 'Nimrod. THIRD CLASS. Sir J. IL Maxwell's blue bitch puppy Helen beat Marquis of breensberry's brindled dog Snake.—Hare killed. Major Carruthers's white bitch Fly ran a bye, and won. Sir J. IL Maxwell's blue bitch puppy Helen beat Major Cu ruthers's white bitch Fly, and won the cup.—Hare killed. The weather proved favourable, and there was a very nume rous assemblage of Sportsmen present,who seemed highly pleased with the amusements of the day. 'Die white bitch Fly 'hewed uncommon bottom and spirit, and appeared, at one time, to be the favourite of the field. A short time ago two Gentkmcn of Dumfries, fond of the amusement of Coursing, penetrated a little way into Annandale, followed by two excellent greyhounds which were held in leash by a little boy, ready to he untied on the hist emergency. In their way to the grounds which were selected as the scene of the morning's diver inn, the party started, rather unex pectedly, a very large hare, which bounded away before them over bent and furze, moss and heather, in excellent style, inspiring a pleasure which none but sportsmen can adequately feel. With all her fleetness, poor puss had not proceeded far be fore she attracted the notice of the captive greyhounds, whicb, darting away with a sudden spring, fairly overt' helmed their tiny keeper, and left him sprawling in the mud, at a respectful distance. The Gentlemen of course banned this cross-accident, and seemed satisfied that the dog', harnessed as they were, might raise all the hares in the district without being able to harm one of them. But on gaining the rising ground, they were agreeably surprised to find that the sagacious animals, in place of pulling different ways, had so tinted their running, that they were visibly gaining on the hare in spite of the collars which held their necks in du.. ranee, and the long cord or chain that dragged at their heels. The chase was a pretty long one, and, in endeavouting to escape from the dogs, the exhausted.quadruped made many a turn and double ; but here, too, the greyhounds evinced their sagacity, and al though they once fell backwards into a ditch, they extricated themselves so quickly that they soon killed the poor hare, after one of the finest runs ever witnessed. THE LATE MR. MURRAY. This Gentleman, many years a most distinguished favourite on the Covent-Garden boards, died at Edinburgh, as before stated, on the Bth instant. He was the sun of Sir John Murray, Batt. of Broughton, Secretary to Charles-Edward, the Pretender, in the Rebellion of 1745, who, after the final ruin of the cause of his unfortunate master, retired to Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire, where, in the year 1754, the subject of this memoir was born. Charles, under the immediate guardianship of his father, received an ex cellent classical education, and was, at a proper season, sent into France, to perfect himself in the language of that country—a lan guage which, from his youngest days, he spoke with the correct ness and fluency of the most accomplished native. Being designed by his friends for the medical profession, he was, on his return to England, placed as pupil with a London practitioner of eminence, and having obtained a competent knowledge of pharmacy and surgery, entered into the Navy as a surgeon, in which capacity he made several voyages. Being tired of this service, he entered into an engagement with Mr. Tate Wilkinson, and made his first ap pearance on the stage at York, in 1773, in the part of Carlos, in the Fop's turbine, under the assumed name of Mr. Royinur.— Thence he went to Norwich, and af.erwards to Bath. At the death of the late Mr. Farren, he entered into an engagement with Mr. Harris, at Covent-Garden Theatre, where he made his first appearance in 1797, in the part of Sin/fuck, in the Merchant of Venice, and Bagatelle, in the l'aor Soldier. In parts of sensibility and pathos Mr. Murray stood unrivalled; and in such as Old Norval, Lusignan, and Adam," we shall seldom look upon his like again." Mr. Murray has left a son and daughter in the profession. The latter (Mrs. Henry Siddons) is highly distinguished as an Actress both in Tragedy and in genteel Comedy, and is the present pro prietor of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh. Her brother, .slr. 1 ‘Vhli.un Murray, the Acting Manager of that respectable Theatre, is also a great favourite in that metropolis. s The Carnival, to be introduced at Covent-Garden Theatre, in The Two Gentlemen of Verona, is preparing • on a very extended and expensive scale, and will con sist not only of masks, but of a grand emblematical Procession, and various magical illusions, according to the old custom of annual carnivals in It Ay. GOOD ACrzNO!—A Letter from New York, dated Oct. 18, says, 44 It is reported that an English vessel from Jamaica, having on board a cc mpany of per formers, with their musicians and instruments, in passing the West of Cuba, was approached by a pi ratical cruizer, whereupon the band struck up a mar tial tune, and the Buccaneers immediately tacked ship and fled, supposing they were getting alongside of a vessel of war!" BON Mine—The Bishop Of LosrooN, says AUBREY, did cut down a noble cloud of trees at Fulham, on which the Lord Chancellor, BACON, told him that he was a good expounder of dark ploi.es. THE G RASSHOPPER .-- Sir T nom AS GRILISHAM, who built the Royal Exchange, was the son of a poor we man, who left him exposed in a field, but the chirping of grasshoppers leadinga boy to the spot, i.is life whs preserved, and hence he adopted that insect for his crest Dame Fortune has her favourites, and one she seems most to prefer, is her old friend Bisn. This Lottery, it appears, her Mind Ladyship has looked to him only, for of the Four Capitals already drawn above £2OO, he sold all four. Perhaps this might be intended as a compliment to his Office in Corr hill, as the number of that house is Four; and as his Office at Charing-cross is numbered Nine, we may expect by the same rule, that. hz will sell ,wine more Capitals; and no doubt, include one or both of the Thirty Thousands yet iu the wheel.
