The venders, ounces, were much gratified at having this ' into effect, as it removed from their • an article which at this time imposed nibility. This is a wise precautionary if long since adopted, would have had b es t effects.

COUNTY OF KILENNY. I:appears th it on ti.e night et Toes ae, a barn, an inconsiderable quantity of corn dis lot rent, was maliciously burnt down, on the liarryricken, part of the estate of the Earl of • in this county, and not far distant from Mountain.

The Lc ughry Corps of Yeomanry, (county of Ty ant) und,:r the corn:mind of CAptain LINDSAY, have sunintott , lr volunteered their services to any part of tit United Kingdom. An order was issued on Wednesday, the 29th of : November, directing that one Captain, three Lieute unts, one drummer, and 120 rank and file of the Behurbet Corps of Yeomanry, should immediately be placed on permanent duty. At a Meeting of the Officers and privates of the loyal Revenue Corps, on Saturday, tt was resolved tn antler their services to Government, for the main• trance of public order and private security. The following letter i as bcot published, relative tothe calling out of the Yeomanry : "TO TILE EDITOR F TOE ARMAGH VOLUNTEER. " AUMAGIi, Nola:mem 24, Mil. a Ss-4 have received so ni..ny applications lately to aid in it.tstablishing a Yeomanry Corps in this city, that I think it ti,ht to explain, for fear of misrepresentation, my motives for objecting to it. First, I (I. • not believe it is locally necessary, for nuitket here nor in the county have I heard of any occurrence est calls for us to move ; and, secondly, if there did, I do not dink it a description of force calculated to produce the end in *aded—puls'ic pewee. The Yeomanry of Ireland are decisively kol, and the State owes them much ; but society is so con- 1 rructed within this kingdom, that nothing but a last resource *Solid induce the Government to call it nut. It is a signal for f!istrimi among the inhabitants ; distrust of some must be exhi had, manage it ever so delicately, and of course jealousy excited, aid many a loyal sentiment *mothered. At best it is only an in efficient Since, defective in its application; but, indeed, my Palest objection is, that of separating more . slecidcdly a people too much divided already, and not by political pinioru. Should tie State require an addition to its niiiitary force, I humbly hope tit Government, to whom I shall ever look with loyalty, respect, :al confidence, will boldly increase the Standing Army ; and, if out security requires a suspension of that system of economy so tveifestly began, every rational man will willingly suffer a little Eger. A Standing Army is a force, from time to time, confided. Vibe hand of a legitimate King, to whom we look for a just led impartial protection; that King and that Army are wholly vol effectually governed by the laws of the realm—the preserva lox of which it is as much his interest to maintain, as it is a vats' duty; its conduct free from local prejudice, it moves for nerd protection—its u. is ,:lemy, the enemy of the State; in it ve have discipline to CWil';`lll, and ability to accomplish every tall fin which it is called whereas, in Yeomanry, we have lltitker discipline, ability, or power—its organiza tion defective, Ind its vowel inefficient and incapable to any general purpose.— Such, Sir, is my humble opinion of the Yeomanry, as a political sad military force.

The Marquis WELLESLEY arrived in time yes terday evening, to have the honour of dining with his MAJESTY and Suite at the Pavilion. Steam ves s els ate in a progressive state of for wardness for being brought into use on this sta tion early in the spring ; these, joined to the erection of a suspension chain-pier, which will soon be carried into effect, will render Brighton superior to all others, either as a place of fashionable resort, or place of em bat kation for France. WEYMOUTH, DECEMBER 4. Sunday afternoon, at six o'clock, his Royal High ness the Duke of YORK arrived at Lulworth Castle, on a visit to the Right Hon. ROBERT PEEL. The approach of his Royal Highncss was announced by the Royal Standard of England-being hoisted on the tower of the Castle, a salute of 21 guns from the bat tery on the lawn, and every other testimony of loy alty and respect. His Royal Highness was received in the grand saloon by Mr. and Mts. PEEL, and at seven o'clock a select company sat down to a most magnificeat dinner. The next morning his Royal Highness and party enjoyed the sports of the field.— • The preserved coppices, &c. for this occasion, fur nished an abundance of game. The inhabitants of this town entertain the most eager expectation that his Royal Highness will con descend to honour it with a visit, and inspect the va rious improvements which now adorn this delightful place of fashionable resort. THE 1171.:;TMINSTe PLAY. Last night the King's Scholars of Westminster per formed one of the Comedies of TERENCE, according to annual custom. The play was the Andria, one of tho-e in which 'FERENcr. has been mo-t happy in pte sets ing the spirit of MENANDER, out vf two of whose pieces (the Andria and Perinthia), he framed this interesting specimen of the ancient comedy. The following were the dramatis pastime : Simo, Dcmcgo% &sia, - - - - W. L. Bs OWN. MVOS, It. EDEN. Pamphilus, - - - J. linaise. Charinui, - - W. J. E. Besse% Pyrrhic, - - - IL N. Gaessr. Chromes, - I,er. (Tito, - - - - W. Surrn. Drama, - - W. Swint. - - - - r. F. UNDERWOOD. Lesbia, - - - I. J. PHILLIMOR e. The old men, Simo and Chremes, were well repre .ented, both personally and morally, by Mr. DODO.. soN and Mr. LEY. "They looked the characters with great effect, and pressrved the medium between tameness and exaggeration. Their personation of old age, with its vigilance, its domestic solicitude, and paternal anxieties, was such as to evince a very just observation of nature ; and they managed the narra tive, the sentiment, and the pathos with equal suc cess, through all the varieties of look and intonation. They were much applauded, particularly Simo, in that passage of exquisite description, m hen he relates the ocsurtences at the funeral of Chrlisis, which made him fist acquainted with the dangerous passion of his son. The manner in which be repeated " rejecit se in earn fleas pain familiariter r produced uni• venal applause ; and his despair in the fifth act, when he thinks his son incorrigible in his love for an unworthy object, and exclaims, " immo ha6eat—va. leat—vivat cum was full of the expression of wounded pride and exasperated affection. Crito, another old man, who, although his part is not so im portant a one as that of the others. set is essential to the denouement, wits ably sustained by Mr. SMYTH. The principal agent in directing the dramatic inci dent is the servant Darns, a fellow of it most in ventive humour and infinite expedient, the facetious Machiavel of den.estic policy. This character was supported by Mr. EDEN, Who gave it all the soul of intrigue and all the bustle of arch connivance, which the Poet intended. Such was his expression and the vivacity of his transitions from merriment to affected gravity and the reverse, that he kept his audience in. almost continued laughter ; his chief excellence was displayed in the scene in which he plays the two. fold stratagem on Mysis and Chremes. The man ner in which be cloed it with the sar castic' .truth, Paullum interresse tenses ex ammo omnia at ferf natura„liicirts an de industria," merited the warm ap plause which followed it. Pamnhibts and Minns's, the two lovers, were effectively played by Messrs.! BRAISE and BENNET. They performed with good, taste and cultivated feeling. The scene where Cha nuns supposes his friend has violated his honour, and an interview of much n-oral conflict follows, was their be.A. :iosia gave Mr. Buowa but little to do, but that little be did well. The other servant, Byrrhia, was characteristically sustained by Mr. GRESBY. Mom was performed with ludicrous effect by Mr. SILVER. The manner in which his physical prowess overcame the busy genius of Davits, afforded much amusement. The femaies, Mysis and Lesbia, were well personated by Messrs.UNDERWOOD and Pit ILLIMORE, who looked and spoke with all those varieties of expression and gentle tones which must ever distinguish the softer sex. On the whole, the Play gave universal satisfac tion to a very numerous and respectable audience. — The articulation, emphasis, and cadence were given with the ease of the vernacular tongue, and those young Gentlemen may be said to have naturalized the ancient drama, not only in its Latin voice but its Roman spirit. At the conclusion of` he Play all the Performers appeare d on the Stage, hen the band played Goo sure the King and Bide Britannia, which were received with acclamation. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left town yesterday afternoon, so on after four o'clock, on their r eturn to Bushy Park. The Princess AUGUSTA dined again yesterday with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington. Letters have been received from the Marquis of HASTINGS, in which his Lordship states that he shall be home by the first of May. We are sorry to add that the Marquis of HASTINGS has not lately enjoyed a good state of health.' 4iiE AIEMt'. •• Sunday, tote 2 d ba tt a lion of the Ist Regiment of Guards, 'per forming duty at Windsor, amounting to about 550 men, te ceived instructions to hold themselves in readiness to prtfrzed for Knightsbridge Barracks, where they arrived on Toestlay evening.

EXTRAORDINARY EFFECTS OF FRIGHT—Death of three Women and a very alarming fire broke out on Saturday morning last, soon after site o'clock, at the Queen's Head public-house, in High street, Brompton, Kent. When it was first discovered, the wind was blowing very strong, and the flames were bursting through the windows, and little less was expected than that the whole range of houses on one side of the street must inevitably be burnt down; but owing to it being the dawn of day, the inhabitants and Military were quickly on the spot, and with the prompt assistance of the engines from the Fire-offices and Dock-yard, aided by vigorous exertions, the fire was got under, in about two hours, with the destruc tion only of the house in which it originated. So rapid was the course of the devouring element, that every article of furniture, linen, &c. was destroyed, and the inmates barely escaped with their lives. Mrs. HODGKIN and a female servant were with difficulty taken out from an upper window ; and Mr. KIPPINO, broker, of Maidstone, who was sleeping in the house, made his way through the fire, by which he was severely scorched in the face, hands, and other parts of his body. Two other lodgers also escaped with great difficulty, one of them being much burned in attempting to save some of his clothes, for which purpose he had imprudently re-enteted the house.— The women were unable to save a single article of dress except their night-clothes. The house and fur.- niture were insured ; and although no lives were lost in the house, yet the effects which followed are of a melancholy nature. One woman, a near neighbour, . was so alarmed, that she fell in a fit, and shot tly ex pired. A poor man also, who resided near the spot, and who had been unwell, was so much agitated by . fear, that he expired the next day. An elderly wo. man, who kept a small school, and a young woman, a cripple, both residing near, were so dreadfully alarmed by the terrific appearance of the flames, as well as from apprehension of not being able to make their escape, that they fell victims to their fears, and expired the next day, litetally from fright. Another woman' also now lies in a most dangerous state of ill ness, front the same cause. A fire took place on Friday night, at Bridlington, in the house of L. Denton, a carman. It is nut known how it originated, and it proceeded to an alarming height before it was discovered. The inhabitants of the town were apprised of it by the sudden eruption of one general braze from all the windows; and the inmates, who were asleep in bed, we►e awoke to a sense of the most imminent danger of their lives.— • Oae old man found his way out from a door commu nicating with some back premises, and a young female saved herself by leaping out of a window. Her elder I s ster, a Rae young woman, who slept with her, from her anxiety, it is supposed, to save a child from the adjoining room, let slip the opportunity of escaping in a similar way, and perished, along with the object of her tender solicitude, in the flames. The whole premises, with the exception of the back wall and chimney, were burnt to the ground.
