3b4 DIS 7 URBANCES IN IRELAND. The trustees of Lord Uotirtetiay's estate hate resolves to remove every cause of complanit_by, investigating the circumstances of the tenantry; and the fdllowifig letter appears in the Liao lick TO THE TEN writy Oh Tll r.

The 'email has been the temporary apt • I ntent of Mr. Alfred I'm long to the agency, and the staying of all legal proceedings. " This first step, on the part of the trustees, was an earnest of their disposition to relieve the tenantry, as far as their ditty and post rs o'olllil pet mit ; but the course cif proceeding necessary to be adopted to place the tenants (as tar as circ iiiii stances mould allot) out all (vial footing, and to settle their (aims upon a tent suited lu the present and probable future saint. of the illt,thire, required a knowledge mod l'spre kites. which I tin not possess. My professional avocations, t sen if oily health, which it does mot, would have pet milled it, render it totally impossible for me to comply with their agues', of going to Newcastle; but at the saute lime I ran assist e them, that such a step, on my part, is unnecessary, inasmuch as Mc tr slams may rest pettectly stellre, that, thou leeeivill4 the report of the gentlenien who have been thus deputed to snake the inquiries concerning the state of the rents, the trustees will it 1111 l talc lice a hole of the subject louder their consideration, and I has( tru doubt Mai tin se gentlemen will vet y shortly have finished the investigation necessary for settling, tor setting upon :itch a fuming, as, I t will give confidence to the Ii maul , aud pt 01110. e the per manent interest of the IiENRY WHOTIESLIA."

After litiOling the resolutiolis passed at the board of magistrates, interdicting the dressing of the statute, the oar to thus proceeds : One bf the aldenne , t above-named (I)arley) is the chief magistrate of police, and several others are diviArmal magistrates. After the publication of this document which of readers would have dared to insinuate that effictual measures would not be taken to have obedience to it etiffirced ? ya, after its publication in all the evening papers of Saturday, the first prep of day disclosed King %Valiant Bedecked to most gor4cous antic out Sun day, and so lie continued during the day I No attempt was made to prevent the dressing—tut attempt was made to retinue it after it had been put on. We now call the auctition of the press, and the people of the united kingdom, to one point, which we wish to have cleared till, 'namely, why is it that the intinicited and local a uthorities are powerless ee lien opposed w the Orange factiona 6Ttd of obscure and unknown per sous, bound by seetet oaths to certain mysterious obli gations, and whose acts, as far as they are disclosed, are as 1111161 n l /posed to the Throne and the Goveininent, alto the peace and happiness of the CPU'ltry ? Wlly is it that the city ut I).oblin is periodically abandoned to the rule of this secret band ? There is but one way of explaining the dillieulty, which we shall leave to the sagacity of our readers to divine. I . l'e learn Nom au eye-witness that the statute was dressed yesterday at about five o'clock in the morning.— The nelsons who dressed it issued hunt a public-house in Ship-street. Three persons ascended the SWIM': there were groups hovering about in variant* directions, tit all, perh sits, about 40 Or 50 men. Witeil they appioacht the statue, they inquired of a plieentaii, who seemed as of I,oaed near it, whether he had ally orders to ()Homy the dressing oh the %Little; he replied not. This twitit ascertained, the geseilerean Int:weeded to basittes , , au:'. having decorated their idol, they eery quietly retired.-- Twu or three policemen could have prevented the dress ing—a single wan could have removed it! We were told that a spiel tator having expressed some disappro. billion at the tar seeding, the police who were lifeSelll said, that although he had 110 orders to prevent the dressing of the statue they had orders to prevent a riot, Stid instantly ho tied away this unfortunatedissentient to the watch-lotus , I Thus, it appeared, the dressing was edlcted undid t. c protection of the police! IVILLIAM 111. -.OP The public have lately heard a great deal of the often sit P Change ltittitution ; bill Wilmo) there bad never been any open celebration in honour of its inniider by ' the. Mentlit is of the Society resident in the aletropidis. • On Sunday, however, and Monday uwri.ilig,stVttar placards and hilirill Lilts were profusely distributed iu the City and at the West Entl tit the lowu, calling upon the l'io• tesiant public hi commemorate the With of Williaw the Third. Otte of the large placards is as :—" T he flle th•day or King IVilliam the Third, of glotinits and inmosteal memos y, who, under Divine Providence, deli eel eel England ft Olis I'olli,ll tyranny and snpetaiition: in honour of a Melt his statue in St. Jamea's senate is deco rated Ihin Silt November, itt - 21,(the 4th being on Sunday.). --Another bill, posted elin big the night in list ton-garden, says, " The Meuth,ta of t h e Established Church, profes sors of the Protestent faith, the suppoi tees of the Douse of 1111111 a% ick, are inhumed that this day, the :iilt 01 Nos. ber (the 411, being out a Smithey ), a ill be universally kept in commemoration of the glue Mos triumph over Pupil —The bills also stated that the statue of the Monett tar William, in St. James's•square, would bra tlecoiated, iu I 1111 l our of the anniversary of the neves-to be-fuigutteu day. Cite attention of several families resided in St James's sqiiare was atttacied tin Sunday looming, about eight o'clock, by the extramilinary appearance of three men, who were a Mein the tailing, and seemingly ettgaged in deep conversation. 'limy apprimeited the moat which sol e minds the (po:stria!), tine tit them ca trying a basket, which lie deposited close to the internal railing. Another of them very deliberately took of his coat, waistcoat, and shoes, and seemed to be pi opal tug to get over the tailing into the water. The faintly who Olrl:py a home hen ween the Mentions of Linitionelei ry's and the Duke of Portland's, at the nestle-we-4 angle, were preparing to go out of town, and, throa Mg open the windows, gave the alai and sent sonic of tlie set voids to the railing, aid) older' to inquire into the mysterious affair. '('he p: tries iii diately Iled in diffelent directions. •1 lie man, who ass partially undressed, bonittled over the railing like a stag, got into George-court, and escaped. The aquare•keeper, alio lived in Chinch-passage, ass instantly sent for, and, accompanied by several surs ants, ptuceeded to the inte tior railing, where they fumed a basket, contatoing all oil-skin parcel and brvvral yards of lopes, atilt hooks or grapples attached to tine end. Ou opettiog the hag or envelope, it was found to contain several yards tit orange and purple silk, aid' • 'intier of drags (apparently) and lines of pack tht rad or whipcord. The whale was conveyed to the residence of the Doke of l'oa lland, and left in the charge of his Grac'e's porter. In half an hoar acterwards the mimics were claimed by a person, who gave his name and address pica llond-street ; but the porter, suspecting that more a as inealit than met tile eye, wttlilicht the trophies, nailer an idea that they might become the subject of investigation at the Secretary of State's office, or at Bow-street. The ' •s, however, were nut to he deterred front their purpose by the tliseottiliture, for at day-light on Monday morning the statue of King William exhibited, for the first tiow sluice it was placed upon its pedestal, the insignia of Olaitgialli. TWO scarves, one Ordlige Witt the Other purple, were gracefully throat) over the tight shoal der, and the ends terniiitating in a large bow over the Init of our deliverer's swot 01, %bile a garland woven wiiii the distinctive coloured titian& invested the Its-to', lengths. I t wa, intended to cover the body a ith an impel ial lie r but fur t easuns which are not explained, this elegant part of the customs has been dispensed with. This affair will be matter of surprise to those who are acquitibled with the position of the statue, and the diffi culty of obtainitig access to it. All the homes in the Square (rout the front a distinct erica of the cir cular area, which is enclosed '-y an iron railing npwatds Of ail: feel high, a ith well lighted lamps at short intervals, and guarded by several watchmen, whose beat is Culdilicil to the Square. The immesh f the exterior to the interior railing appears to be upwards of tweedy yards, and the diameter of the most, in the centre oh' whirl' staitils the statue, is about la enly feet, and the depth of the water not less than four teet and a half, Flout the surface of the aster to the a of the pedestal on which the hurse stands, scents to be about 14, soul thence to the apex of the figure, It feet; yet, lona ithstantling dm I ecent failure-and the obstacles opposed t o il t e coho rt ise, the object has been aecomplished, and St. Jame S':.• SWIM e, the sicinity of Carlton Petlave, the residence of the alarepiess of Lowlemileriy, &c. exhibited the patty enibleitis eolith have hitherto been tenanted to the capital of the sister kingdom , but, a hatever may he the ulterior ohjeets of those who h i ts e planned and carried into street tens hirycl apectacle, *care happy to obaci ye that it 1:111ril to excite curiosity, or to attract a crowd. We bail scarcely collected the foregoing information when eve kite tied that the decoiatimi had been removed by order of Lord Sidutouth. if the pat ties had succeeded, and collected a crowd by their improper and rept e hoist ble conduct, though it would endanger the public, yet ley would deserve the thanks of the i'ickpoarrer! A"cording to the last accounts from the United States, the fever had not yet suspended its ravages in the inK•cted parts of the Union ; • and at Balti more, Morlidk, and the neighltotaing towns, several deaths still took placc daily. This awful scourge had reached Alexandria, where live or six persons perished every do. It had been announced that NVashington had also been infroted, but the report, we are happy to statr, is unfinintled. That city is scarcely ever exempt from intermittent and ague fevers to a certain extent, but they were at this pe riod of a very mild nature, and not at all alarming. At Shepherds-town, in Virginia, the sickness pre vailed with great violence. Many families had not one individual in them able to attend upon the sick. It is mentioned as remarkable, that whilst Virginia and part of Maryland were visited by this dreadful disorder, New Orleans and Savannah, which had heretofiire suffered so much, were now compara tively healthy. On the 6th of September, Nen! Orleans was pronounced the " most healthy city la the thaw."
