The gentleman who furnished us with this information left Clonakily at three o'clock, and was oveitaken 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 m.en tont ut making another attack.

The Court then pruceeded to the consideration of time petition of sundry inhabitants of Langliourrie Ward, against the electiun and return ut Mr. Thomas ‘Viitsltire as Cowmen Councilman for that Ward, and alter due deliberation thereon, declared and adjudged the said election of Mr. Wiltshite to be void, and requested the Loud Mayor to issue a precept our the election of another in his room. Nu other business of im portance was transacted. Oa Monday, Thomes Evance, Esq. who has for 21 years presided as it magistrate ut liaion-hall Po lice-office, resigned the situation, and M. Swabey, Jun. Esq. was appointed in his place. The resig nation ot Mr. Evance is much lamented by those who were in the habit of acting under his authority. —He was 46 years recorder ut' the corporation of Kingston, Sun.:) , ; 20 years recorder ot the corpo ration of Deal, and 44 years chairman ut the Mi chaelmas Sessions ot the county of Surrey. lie resigned on account of age and infirmities.

The spectato:s were very few. A meeting has been held at Taunton on agricul tural distress, ut which u petition to Parliament bed been unanimously resolved on. After the distress is described in that petition as " haying swallowed up the capital of the farmer, and brought the greater proportion of independent yeomen to the brink of ruin," the petitioners insist on economy and re trenchment, us the means of saving the country. — Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Dickinsuu, the two county members, cordially unite in the prayer of the petition. The rivalry of the English and French packets was nearly becoming fit.al on Saturday, the 19 - li instant.

Following the example of the County of Norfolk, requisitions arc in course of signatnte for simiiar meetings in many of the nonhern and midland counties.—Petitions of the same tenor as that voted at the Norfolk Nleetiag have been curried by acclatnation at such other meetings as have hith, rto been held, but wh good they can do we cannot perceive.—We have a debt o' 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-bitc—Mr C )ke and the opposition side of the blouse foresaw and foretold all the pre sent difficulty at the moment when the Tory faction was voting the enormous annual expenditure of 84 millions—aud 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. irate 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 bad 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. We learn with regret, that the ignorance or want of proper caution, on the part of ►omc of our co temporaries, has caused them to insert an adver tisement of a foreign lottery, by which they have rendered themselves amenable to the penal Statutes, 1 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, bus al ready commenced proceedings against some of the Papers, and we hear that the Commissioners are resolved to prosecute every one of the offenders. The Duchess of Bourbon died on the 10th inst. in her 72d year. She was seised with a fit front the extreme cold of the new church of S. Gene vieve, when she had been to prayers. The Duchess of Bolibon was of the Orleans tinnily, and the aunt of the present Duke, she was born in the year i 750, and was married to the Duke of Bourbon Conde in 1770. She has been for man years separated from her husband. The only issue of this marriage was the unfortunate Duke D'Enghein, who was assas sinated at Vincennes in 1804. The following is an extract of the will of the Duchess of Bourbon, which seems to have been made the very day be fore that of her sudden death :—" I wish to be le.ried without any pomp or ceremony. Let abun dant alms be given to the poor el my parish: thi► is the only magnificence which I allow. I request in the most pos►tive manner to be neither opened nor en.balmt.d, nor exposed with my face uncovered, nor watched ; but to be buried as speedily and as simple us possible." The King of France has given di. reetions that the requests of the will shall, as far u possible, be complied with.
