I3.—A meeting of the Melds mates,of this ocisinty,took place on Monday last, to consider of the propriety of relieving the county from the operation d the Insurrection Act. After much discussion on the subject ; tondocted with the utmost harmony, it appeared that the vaeiety of opinion on the prudence Af the measure called for a division, notwithstanding the unanimous feel. lug on all sides that the connty at present enjoyed as much tranquillity Is a % prat of the Kingdom. file numbers were - - For remeivint theinsurrection Act, 18—Retaining it, 16 —Majority, 2. An Address to the Lord Lieutenant In accordance with the sentiments of the majority of the Meeting, was in con seqnence drawn np. The Magistrates of the County Kildare, are to meet on the 25th inst. to apply to Government to withdraw the In - affection Act, if the county continue as.peaceab)e as it ha been this time back. •Fatvisece Of THR CLERGY IN IRIELAND.-.-1,1 an eject stint ease, tried at the last assizes of %Vexford,the.Rev.llltV adiscpw, a clergyman of the established church, being ex: ,amiaed as a witness, declined to answer a question put. tra• MO; on the pound that his answer would disclose mitten nothmunicated.to him by a person whom he attended at, the lime of his sheath in the exercise of his spiritual pro kasion. %ha Catholic clergy always object to disclose what occurs on such occasions, on the ground that the secrecy of confession imposes an insormmintable obliga tion; but the objection is new, we believe, on tie part of a Protestant clergyman. The point was argued at some length by 51r, Hamilton for enforcing an answer; land by blr. O'Connell fur respecting the conscientious scruple of the witness. Mr. Justice Jebb, who presided, said lie would step into the County Court, where the Chief Justice was then sitting, and consult him. When he reword, he stated to the witness that it was the opinion of the Court, that he was under no such obligation of secrecy as should preetot Ma answering the question. The Reverend Gentle /aunt expressed his regret that he mast 'still decline to answer. He then stated that he had consulted his spiritual superior, we believe the Bishop of the Diocese, who approved of his determination to maintain an inviol able secrecy. The Court declined taking any measure with a view to enforce an answer; and as this was the principal witness on whom the plaintiff's case depended, a verdict was given for the defendant.—(Deblin Evening Pust) A vast number of copies of -the New Tithe Composition 13111 have been forwarded by Government to the Bishops of the different Diocesses, with a request that their Lordships wit give them as mocbeirculation as passible, to the intent that their object be breeight into operation with all cones.' tient speed.-116id.) . liaLaxctiour Accrniestr.,-6s .

The other children had been taken to the house of Mr. Bickerton, where they received every attention that benevolence and kindness could dictate on so melancholy an occasion.— . (Southern &porter.) Great divisions are reported to exist amongst those who sow have the reigns in Portugal.

The Gevernmeet of Denmark has passed a law, by whirl all individuals furbishing 'applies for the Island of St, Croix, and the other Danish possessions in the West la. dies, are to be considered as privileged creditors, having a prior claim to payment . from the produce of estates in the earrent year—and oo property can be appropriated to any other purpose until such claims be first duly satisfied.

Gasealocz, Auo. 12.—Last week, a deaf and dumblad, employed as a cutter at the Flint Glass work here, met with a singular accident, to which he narrowly escaped falling ,a sacrifice. While at work, his apron, or some other loose portion of his apparel, Navin" come in contact with one of . the horizontal shafts of the drums, and by some metatt.act leered to it, he was instantly drawn in, and twirird mum, the shaft longitudinally, exhibiting precisely the position of a roast on a spit! The shift working scarcely a foot front the ground, and there being not much more vacant space on either side of it, destruction seemed inevitable;- yet the poor lad, after having made repeated revolutions, is. the cause of which be was divested of every article of• his wearing apparel, excepting a fragment otitis trowsers, was at length flung behind the shafts, from which be emerged in a state of nudity, having sustained, in addition to the fright, only: a few slight bruises, sod having had his skin somewhat lacerated by the engender operation of the ma chinery in derobing him. It is remarkable also, that even his neCkkerchief had attached itself to the shaft, the end& probably coiling round it; but luckily for the wearer, he was saved from strangulation by the .kerchief giving way behind. The whole was the work of so short a time, that the mischief was over before the engine could be stopped; so that altogether it forms one of die most singular acci dents, as well as one of the most extraoedinary escapes, which it has ever been oar province to record. litAsnow, Auo. 15.—Some time sine, a young man who left Glasgow went to Belfast, where he was. employed at a muslin singer. la the course of his labours he pet Glasgow goods to finish, of whicir.be knew the marks and, from the smallness of the quantities end other eirearn stances, could not, he thought, be legalty.obtaioed. •liliri • in g written to the manufacturer ea thsi aabject, susplehen fell upon an Irishman, who bad lately set up a tavera In the High Street, "The Five Ails."

The landlord, dreading the cone* , quraces, leaped over the window arid fled; but he was promptly pursued, and caught after a long . chase. be appeared that the landlord meoeiereegaged in a sinze jag business, and had corrupted four 'this workmen in the thieving traissaction., When they went to get goods to singe, they contrivittetalch time to takeaway more titan was entered is their ha* Time whole of the goods thus obtained were reseited by,* man . in.

The price (twopence) at which this work Is published, renders it within the means of all who ari fond of literary amusemetit. We perceive it treats on history, modern and ancient, interspersed with pleasing tales and ex-' tracts from popular publications. In fact, we consider a work of this description, when bound in a volume, to be very little Inferior to some of the best magazines Of the present day, as It will form a book that may be taken op at all limes with pleasure, and laid down with regret.

This course was adopted; and, accardiogly, a little before six o'clock the ropes were removed, the net was taken off,aini the balloon was left to - its fate; it rolled about like an iminense li r a 4; not half full, ascended to a small height not above 201 ' t freni the ground, and moved off slowly in a north-eastern titration.

A most 'foe • midable and well diteeted fire of ;slags was Weed lirleti, the whole of this line, which not only threatened destine . Lion to the wooden harrier, bat forced all persons to retire to the distance of 50 yards into the interior. .The constables and police, who were not in sufficient strength to intimidate the immense body of the assailants, presented themselves occasionally for that purpose, but were unable to maintain their posts fora moment, so unremitting were Ill! enemy., -s--tinder these circumstances, the place . presented all the appearance of a besieged fortress: No ,on 'of thi s ' ordinary outlets was passabl , ; there was no safety *Rhea, and no security within. A ladder was placed 'against a' wall in an obscure corner of the premises, which afforded difficult retreat for the affrighted transits. In the canned ten minutes from the commencement of the attack„a breach , was made of several feet in width, through which a most 1 destructive tire of brickbats and stones was poured in. This l fire was, however, returned with the weapons of the assall 7 ants, and not without considerab!e effect, owing to the density of the columns in which they were ranged. Fot the purpose of thus Carrying on the war on the part of the, besieged, shelter was knight, by crouching nude r the pal. logs, behind trees . ',, or taking up a position befilod some of, the numerous tea rooms erected along the skirts of the pg dens. These, however, proved but ..moffieliCary security , against the foe, bricks being thrown sonfitoled Otte the roof at the foot of the wall on the opposititiiiiie, - whitst the' windows, and sides obnoxious to the enemy *ere"smashed' 'and perforated in many parts. One sortie we e made with the' i whole strength of the civil 'power, and one ort wo miscreants Iseceted, but the officers found themselves obtiged to make* 'precipitate retreat within the wadi, and did not *scale without a few broken heads. This sort of attack and de fence continued to rage without intermission for the spate of an boor, at the end of which time the malcontents hint succeeded in levelling upwards of three hundred feet off strong paling. There was now nothing left but to . -entee the grounds; but this they were evidently fearful of -ate ' e n enneani, seeing that many gentlemen hat armed thew• selves with broken palings, branches of treesc&c. and joined the civil power, resolved to repel an attack which mast bevel had fearful results. Many severe wounds were received Os ' both sides, but had this taken place, the mischief must have been more extensive and dangerous. After sn'inelfectual attempt to restrain the people from catering in the absence of the barrier, and as it was impossible new to distinguish' the orderly from the disorderly, they Were allowed to tra 'verse the premises unmolested. At eight o'clock we left .them in quiet possession of the ground, amusing themselves by exhibiting feats of agility and strength on the ropes to which the balloon had been fastened. Thus, in fact, were these gardens carried by storm, in spite of every barrier, and in defiance of the civil poirer. The owner mast be put to the expence of some hundreds to repair the damage done. The place was literally in a state of active siege for the space of an hour, and the grounds, when we left, pre sented, on the side of the attack, all the appearance of a battle field. . . ----- Witb respect to the balloon, it is preowned that its ap ')thr BETTING AT TVrrraoALL•s, AUG.

HARVEST. ..- Thiiinheat harvest has commenced in many parts of this County.—The Wheat and Barley crops are particularly 6ne.—(llaropshire Telegraph.) Sotrinamprox, Attousr In.—Harvest commenced on Monday in the immediate neighbiturbood of this town, where thecrops look well,notwithstanding the unfavourable weather which we *re bad. The hay in many parts is much injured, bat turnips scarcely ever looked better. A fine sample of new Wheat was shown at Emsworth mar ket on Friday. New Oats were sold at Penryn market on Saturday last, at I Is. 3d. per hushel.—( West Briton.) . The wheat harvest was, last week, partially commenced in this neighbourhood, sad in the Nurse of the present week, should the weather prove tolerable, the sickle will be seen ge nerally at its work, and in most situations,.:particularly in Ole Weald, we are, from report, inclined to believe, the corn will be found to fall heavy over it, and in corroboration of this, may be mentioned some speculative bargains which have been already struck by some of oar first-rate Farmers, and par ticularly by Mr. Ridge, of Aleiston, and Mr. Henry Paine, of Ringater. The former has sold thirty-one acres of 'tending white wheat near his %use, at 171. per acre, the grain to be delivered by the grower, as in common, and the draw, trussed, at a given place. The latter has contracted to 'supply many loads of white wheat, warranted to weigh hilly-one pounds the bushel, at thirteen pounds the load,the edittcacts to be completed within a fortnight, should not the Weather, in the mean time, prove snore than ordinary unto ward.--;;Leteer paper.) Harvest is commenced in the neighbourhood of Margate, and the wheats come down remarkably tine, equal in most places to those of the last famed crop.

AND CROPS.—This week commenced with a wet and gloomy rupee, which •n Monday changed to a storm of wind that blew with great violence until Tues day morning. A perfect calm then ensued, and a day of sunshine succeeded, highly favonrable to the hay har vest; but on Wednesday the sky became again over , cast, and during two days and nights a prodigious quantity of rain fell, completely drenching the earth, ,end swelling the rivers considerably. Yesterday morn- Jog, the weather had rather improved, but before noon the rain again set in, and confirmed with little internals sion for the remainder of the day. The succession of heavy rains, and the unnatural coldness of the season, must have been very injnrious to the growing crops; yet in general they will be mach ahoy'- an average as to straw; but from the probable lateness of the harvest, no judgment can be formed of the quantity of grain.—Reaping of wheat, as well as barley and oats, has commenced an several parts of the south of England, and the produce is a!mndant, little damage having been done by the wetness of the season, Which has caused no little injnry in some of the northern districts, where, it would see us, much more rain has fallen than in the southern counties. There are some instances inthis neighbourhood where mildew prevails to a consider fable extent; but the damage sustained has not been so - greet as snight have been expected.
