TILE NATIONAL REGISTER. t onDon MONDAY, JANUARY 28. Following the example of the County of Norfolk, requisitions are in course of signatnte for similar meetings in many of the northern ;.inl midland counties.—Petitions of the same tenor as that voted at the Nurf lk ;Meeting have been carried by acclamation at such other meetings as have hitherto been held, but wh .t good they can do we cannot perceive.—We have a debt of 860 millions, upon which the interest must be paid, and compared with the amount of that interest the current ex penses, with all the extravagance of Government, is but as a flea-bite—Mr Coke and the opposition side of the House foresaw and foretold all the pre sent difficulty at the moment when the Tory faction was voting the enormous annual expenditure of 84 millions—and we wish it were only to fall on those who did so—if reference were to be had to the Vote Office of the House of Commons, and every member of those majorities, by whose votes such infamous waste of money was tolerated, were made to contri bute a moiety of his property towards the liquidation of the Debt it would act in terrorem, and prevent a future venal House of Commons supporting a Lad Government for the sake of the places and patronage it had to bestow, by convincing them, that however distant, the day of retribution would arrive. w We learn with regret, that the ignorance or want of proper caution, on the part of some of our co temporaries, has caused them to insert an adver tisement of a titreign lottery, by which they have rendered themselves amenable to the penal Statutes, I and 2 Geo. IV. cap. 120. sec 38. which subjects offenders against the law to a fine of 501. with the addition, (and the act is imperative as to the inflic tion) of imprisonment and public whipping !—Mr. Hesse, the Solicitor to the State Lottery, has al ready commenced proceedings against some of the Papers, and we hear that the Commissioners are re-solved to prosecute every one of the offenders. The Duchess of Bourbon died on the 10th inst. in her 72d year. She was seized with a fit from the extreme cold of the new church of St. Gene vieve, when she had been to prayers The Duchess of Bonbon was of the Orleans family, and the aunt of the present Duke, she was born in the year 17.5 0 , t old was married to the Duke of Hourlsm Conde in 1770. She has been for man years separated trout her husband. The only issue of this marriage was the untiotnnate Duke D'Etighein, who was assas sinated at Vincennes in 1804. The ti)llowing is an extract of the will of the Duchess of Bourbon, which seems to have been made the very day be fore that of ker sudden death :—" I wish to be boried without any pomp or ceremony. Let abun dant alms be given to the poor ef my parish: this is the (lily magnificence which I allow. I request iu the most positive manner to be neither opened nor embalmed, nor exposed with my face uncovered, nor Matched ; but to be buried as speedily and us simple as possible." The King of France has given di. rections that the requests of the will shall, as fur as possible, be complied with. THE AltliV.-A detachment of the 77th foot ar rived at Stirling. on the 17th instant ; they are on their way to relieve different detachments of the 41st, at present quartered in that place, Edinburgh, &c.; the 41st having been ordered to In consequence ofihe late changes in the Victual ling Office, Mr. Clifton, of the Admiralty, has been al:pointed the Secretary of that Department. THE NATIONAL REGISTER . . Letters from Rome state, that the l'ope was so dangerously ill, that his death was expected every moment. The Archduke Rodolph of Austria, who was made a Cardinal two years ago (the meaning of which elevation was perfectly understood at the time in Rome), is certain to succeed to the chair —This event will give Austria the complete and uncontrouled command of all Italy. She has looked forward to it with great anxiety, for the execution of her des potic plans has been very much imoeded by the com parative independence enjoyed in Romagna. Algoma—The Havanuah packet JuAn, arrived at Liverpool on Thursday, brings letters froth Ha vannah to the 13th December, and from Vera Cruz to the 17th November. By these letters welearn, that the Impel ial Army of Mexico, which htifftaken possetsion of Vera Cruz in the month of September, had suffered so much from the yellow fever, that only 100 invalids were left in tile town. in conse quence of this, Governor Davilla, who had retired to the Castle of San Juan, in the Harbour, oa the approach of the Imperialists, wrote to the Governor of Havannah that he was about to leave the fortress, and to take possession of the city ot Vera Cruz. CORK, JAN 19.—A dreadful occurrence took place yesterday, seven miles east of Bandon, between the Clonakilty yeomanry, under the command of Capt. Hungerfhrd, and about 500 of the peasantry. The revenue officers in Clonakilty having had private information of an illicit distillery, proceeded to the spot with the yeomanry, made the seizure, and took the owner of the still, named Buckley, and an titer man whom they found at work, prisoners. As stem as the circumstance was known, the country people asset - laded to the number of 500, and showed every indication of a hostile spirit, by ineuediately throw ing stones, and were about to rescue the prisoners and the still, when Capt. Hungertiml remonstrated with, and cautioned them, at their peril, to desist, otherwise he would, if attacked, shoot the prisoner. —This injunction had not the desired eirfct ; the country people continued to bear on him, and shower the stones on the party ; on which, we are sorry to say, the threat was put in execution, and Buckley was killed on the spot. As he was tit dto the other man, both tell together, on which it was supposed they had both met the same fate. A general attack then took place, when the yeomanry tired upwards of tii) rounds, and drove the country people in all directions. ['hey then proceeded with their charge to Clonakilty, and lodged the still in the King's ~tore, mid secured the prisoner without further mo lestation. The gentleman who furnished us with this inhumation left Clonakily at three o'clock, and was ~vet taken on the road by two gentlemen who did not leave it for some time afterwards, and they informed him that horns were sounding on the dif ferent hills, and that the people were congregating together in great numbers, with the evident inten tion of making another attack. We have not heard ot the number of the country people who have suf fered ; but, from the shots tired, it is supposed many must have been killed and wounded. COURT OF ALDERNIk'N —On Friday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, which was fully attended. The return of the election of Common Councilman for the Ward of Walbrook, alter the late scrutiny, was laid before the Court. The Court then proceeded to the consideration of the petition of sundry inhahitants of Langbotithe Ward, against the election and return of Mr. Toomas Wiltshire as Common Councilman thr that Ward, amd after due deliberation thereon, declared anti adjudged the said election of Mr. Wiltshire to be void, and requested the Lord M iyor to issue a precept tin- the election of another in his room Nu other business ot im portance w .s transacic d. Ou Monday, Thomas Evance. Esq. who has for 21 years presided as a magistrate at Union-hall Po lice-office, resigned the situation, and M. Swahey, Jun. Esq. was appointed in his pla..e. The resig nation tit Mr. Evince is much lamented by those who were in the habit of acting under his authority. —He was 46 years recorder of the corporation of Kingsum, Surrey ; 20 years recorder ot the Corp) ration of Deal, and 44 years chairman of the Mi chaelmas Sessions of the mums of Surrey, Ile resigned on account of age and I.ifirinhica.

The spectators were very few. A meeting has been held at Taunton on agricul tural distress, at which a petition to Parliament had been unanimously resolved on. After the distress is described in that petition as " haviog swallowed up the capital of the farmer, and brought the givateri proportion of independent yeomen to the brink of ruin," the petitioners insist On 4.3:4010n1y and re- trenehment, as the means of saving the etatatrv.— Sir Thomas Lethbridge anti Mr. Dickinson, the two county members, cezdially unite in the prayer of the - •, • - '1 . s.'", • COVEN? GARDEN TIIEATRE. • On Thursday last Mise Feisity Brunton, one of the yminger daughters of the gentleman who for many veers was held in high estimation by the frequenters of this Theette, made her coat, d'essai on the Loudon canard.'

In her latter scenes she improved upon its much, and the progressive creeping thirst of she Friar's opiate was finely ponrtrayed.

The Mendicity S.aiety, have been making some of to employ able•bodied mendicants, who as sign as a reason for begging,, that they cannot get work, and who either have no par►chial settle ments, or which arc at a considerable distance trout London. 'they have during the last week sent 48 persons of this description to the canal at Padding ton, to break stones for the use of the roads near London, and it is found that such of these men, as will work, can earn from Is. to is. 6.1. each per day. The committee have accordingly directed engagements to be made, with a view to carry this design completely into effect, which it is apprehend ed will ahcieve the objects of the society more completely than any effort they have yet attempted, more purtieti:arly as it has been found that 35 of the above numher never wellt to the depot to be employed as they were dire:ted; and out of the remaining 13, several worked only a few days and then left it. _ . l'he rivalry of the English and French packets was nearly becoming fatal on Sal urday, the 19 h instant.
