" The transactions of this -lay, being the Annivera sary of the Shutting of the Gates Crete tew, as it was evident Colonel PEA asom, the Commander of the Gartigon, would not permit any di turbance or mid. night procession. The Yeomanry of this City, being on permanent duty, could not take any share in the intended uproar of the day, as Colonel Pearson was peremptory. Their Ftratic in t h e morning rather displayed some party feeling ; however, uron the judicious remonstrance of some of the Officer, they took the orange t ibbon front their uniform, with the exception of duce individuals, and the entire of the Rifle Corps, who persevered, notwithstanding the 01)4 jections of some of the Office's, in wearing this sym bol. Some agitators were resolved to set Colonel Pearson's commands at defiance, and about four o'clock in the evening began firing cannon in various pasts of the town, and exhibited an effigy of Gover nor Lundy at Ship Quapgaze. The figure of the Go vernor was removed by Colonel Pearson's orders, and thrown into the River, and the cannon, by the same authority, taken possession of; but on the application of Mr. Sheriff Gillespy, they were restored, when they renewed their noise for three or four hours. However, the Colonel continued to take proper precautions in disarming those inconsiderate individuals who were perambulating the streets with pistols, and effectually prevented any other riot than what was produced by those who considered themselves the guardian an• gels of the city. I ant in:lined to believe Colonel : Pearson has acted in obedience to the instructions transmitted him from the Castle of Dublin, and I hope will produce a salutary effect in repressing, for the future, any attempts at riot and disturbance in this City. The anniversary of the shutting of the gates of Derry may be celebrated without orange ribbon, or the satellites of o ff ice being called forth." Saturday se'nnight, 'a poor man of the name of Keating, employed in the distillery of Mr. Jameson s of Thomas -street, Dublin, came by his death in con: sequence of his accidentally falling against the wheel of the steam-engine when at full work, by which the clothes of the unfortunate man were entangled, and his limbs were smashed to piece. Sunday se night, about nine o'clock ir. the evening s the City Sheriffs, High Con:table, and a patiol of constables of Watei f,rd, inspected the different pub lic-houses in that city, pursuant to a notice issued by the Magistrates,---On entering the licen ed house of Philip Baldwin, of 13allybricken, they found therein a number of persons (about thirty) drinking, and amongst the number, a very desperate character, Terence Byrne, for the apprehension of whom the pa• lice had been long on the h ok cut, but who had hi• tiler to eluded justice; he was immediately arrested, but made a sudden dash up a step ladder, and had nearly succeeded in ft.rcing hi msef through tire thatch of the roof, when be was seized by the legs, and by main force drawn in; finding himself disappointed there, he made an attempt to strike Sheriff Weekes s and instantly sprung past hint towards the stepladder s up which Mr. G. Wright, High Constable, had just got, being called up by Sheriff Alcock to assist in securing Byrne; in the rush, Byrne came in contact oath a drawn sabre, held by Mr. Wright, which glanced from his left jaw into a main artery in the neck, and caused such an effusion of blood as to pro duce death in about half an hour. It has been ascettained that there were sixty in the gang cl suruN;lers, who were ck.ncerned iu resisting the Otlicers enga:ed in the Preventive Ser vice, in the desperate affray which took place on the 24.1 of Sep tember last, near Mush Bay ; fifteen of theirs carried fire-arms. Eleven are in cased y ; two olthein have turned. King's evidence; and it is expected that a third will. A man of the name of Dania Fagg was supposed to be one of the gang ; he was su.pected some time since of having committed a robbery; and when some constables were in pursuit of him on that charge, he escaved froni them by swimming across a river at Canterbury. Bond, an active constable be , longing to the Public Office, Bow-street, undertook to go in pursuit of him. Yesterday se'nnight, in the evening, he received private information that Fagg was in a house at St. Mil.lred . s, Canterbury, and tea paired thither, taking with him five powerful men, one of whom he stationed at the (rent door, and the others at the back. anid contrived to gain admit. Lance into the house, and under the cellar stairs be found Fagg, clearing away the bricks to escrie into the adjoining house ; he made a de,perate4esistance, but 'Bond at length succeeded in securing hint by handcuffs, and coar.eying him to Margate, where be underwent an examination before the acting Magis. trates. Tire final examination of the prisoner was postponed to a future day ; in the meantime he is to be confined on board his Majesty's ship SEVERN, under.the command of Captain M , Cum.ocir, iu the Preventive .Service. A most daring robbery was committed on Sunday morning, in the home of Mr. GODDA RD, residing in Tuthill-street, Westminster, of which he yester sit d om a c y e g ,p a eo v ri e : information at Queen-square Office. He stated , that he and-his family went to Sc e Sunday mot Mill:, and during ;rllr,set':icCi h e m son catered l.is premises win, false keys, who rifled a cupboard, in wirich was a bag containing twelve so vereigns, a guinea, a one pound note, four pounds in silver, and thirty shillings in copper, which they car ried off, Other valuable property, consisting of linen ani wearing apparel was left behind. Cooper and Ilandley, the officers,received inforwation yesterday, of a suipiciouS person belonging to a gang of thieves, who frequent a public-house in Bedtornbury, being 111 e-robber ; they proceeded to that house, and after waiting some time the man . described to them en. tered, they secured him,, and found on his person the greaterlfart of the stolen-property in the bag in which it was deposited in Mr. tiommalia cupboard. 4a, ' TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25, F2l.

NEW TORK, NOVEMBER 24. The following is an c‘tract of a letter from Liver- I pool, dated December '2`2:--‘ , The Nex Orleans Paper, which has reached us to the 9th instant, states, that accounts bad been received, by a vessel which left Campeachy on the 2.21 of October, of the city of Mexico having, fur ditys previously, Fallen into the hands of the Revolutionists after a dreadful battle, in which 5,000 Royalists are said to have been killed. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the inha bitants in consequence of their having been delivered from the Spanish yoke : to a man, they are' repre sented as being' Republicans. Upwards of three thousand panes of glass were broken in his Majesty's Dock-yard at Milford Haven last week, by a violent hail-storm, attended with thunder and lightaiag the most awfuL ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF ORDEALS AND DULLS. . An interestinA , work under the above title has just appeared, by JAMES P. GILCHRIST, Esq. It .bears ' the imprimatur of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, who has condescended to peruse and patronise it. Lieutenant GILCHRIST traces the history of the duel, or single combat, from the barbarous ages, when it was a solemn species of ordeal, down to the; days of modern, refinement, when. it has become merely "an affair of honour." The work also con tans a chronological account of nearly 200 of the principal duels fought in England since the accession. of his late Majesty. In a wel-written and sensible Preace, the author has some very judicious obser vations on the hardships of military men, in regard to the laws of honour. From his remarks on this subject we make the followiug extract: may, however, be necessary to state the possi bility of establishing, in the bosom of the Army, a Court of Honour, vested with ample authority fur the investigation of all personal disputes, and armed .with adequate power for the -doe punishment of . every deviation from that line of honourable deport ment, which is so peculiarly necessary among mili tary associate. But this is an extended field of m.i'ral and judicial argument, upon which my pro fe,:iion; and the peculiar line of my reflections, do not warrant a decided opinion. I may, however, be permitted to speak with more decision respecting the present usage of the British Army, and the actual and possible evils to which a British Officer may be exposed, even when observing the principles of the nicest discretion, - in every part of his temper and de portment. Such an individual, it imports not on what subject, receives an insult from a brother Offi cer, or any Gentleman—he justly demands a reason able apology for an unmerited offence—the apology is refused, and possibly under circumstances of addi tional insult or aggravation. If at this moment lie hesitates—if he allows his preconceived notions of morality and -religion to weigh a feather' in the scale of his determination, he is lost for ever as a British Officer. It matters not, if before that mo mentous hour, he had supported a character for more than mar:al bravery—if he had mounted the deadly breach' in his 'country's cause,' or faced the caunon's mouth: No plea is granted for a moment s hesitation. .The devoted victim to a MISTAKEN prin ciple must . send the fatal message,* or endure a con sequent suffering, worse than death to an - honourable mind—the destruction of his fame and fortune as a military man." • The result is here fraught with singular uncertainty ; the conseTacnces having sometimes proved as full of hazard to the seconds as to the principals ; when experience has demonstrated that he who fell was fortunate to escape the ignominy of a judi cial sentence, consigning the survivors to death, or irretrievable loss of character. A French Paper s- - A.woman of Provence, named Paule Caussac, almost sixty, has just been tried for polygamy. This woman had already ha tie.l. two husbands, and was separated from the third , for whose death she had not patience to wait to enable her to marry a fourth. She was living with the last when No. 3 found her out, to the great sur prise of No. 4, who having no wish to retain posses sion, offered to surrender her. No. 3, however, would not receive her, and she was delivered over the Court of Assize of \'ar, which sentenced her to five years bard labour." • Quaff TM'S RETREAT, WEAR YORK.— A very singu lar character, known by the name of Charles Wheat. field Squires, has lately been lodged in this Asylum for members of the Society of Friends. He is the proprietor of a largefarm in the south, which he sud denly left a short time ago, and, as was stated in the London papers, repaired to London on a velocipede, himself being dressed as a Friend, but having in his hat a large cockade of red, blue, and white. In this dress, and followed by several whom his peculiar ap pearance had drawn together, he repaired to the Lon don Mansion-House, and presented to the Lotto Nlaxou " a paper," saying (with an air of mystery) that he might read it or not as he thought proper, as a copy of it had been transmitted to Earl Batlitint. The paper was inscribed " The Spirit of Despotism," and presented a sort of cat icature portrait of himself,. with several public c! aracters laid prostrate under the wheels of his velocipede, representing Judges, Clerical Characters, Military Commanders, &c, and inscribed, "Pensions, Sinecures, Oppression, Blarney, Military Despotism, Taxes," &c. In this way the Quaker has been proceeding with his tri-coloured flag, till at last he has safely arrived at the Retreat, where the c-ire of " Friends" will, we hope. preserve him from harm, and restore hint to himself. St NGULA Il OCCURRENCE—In the course of last sum mer, a Lady of Liverpool, in:ending to visit her friends in Manchester, sent a piece of valuable lace to her deess-maker, to be prepared for her wear on that occasion. The lace was clear-starched, and put to bleach on a grass plat in the outskirts of the town, at the back of a respectable dwelling-house, well fenced with high wails, notwithstanding which, it disappeared in the course of the day. The only oc cupiers of the premises were a Lady and a female set vent. The most painful suspicions were excited, and all search and inquiry proved fruitless. The Lady made her visit to Manchester without the or namental appendage, and the other parties thought of nothing leis than indemnification for the loss, on the Lady's return. It so happened, some time after, that the bed-room window had become so bespattered, on account of a bird's nest over it, that the Lady en glged a workman to remove it, when, to her astonish ment as well as joy, the lace, which was of consider able length, was found neatly rolled .round the inside of the nest, and, although a little soiled t was riot in the least injured. ; _ _ •
