V/ENING POST.) The Rpecitil Commieslon in Limerick,is adjourned to the 12111 of January. The Solicitor-General, in moving th•all;ournment, made a very eloquent and masterly addresi to the Court and the public. We would recommend to the Gentlemen of the county of Lime rek to have it panted and circulated through the cams y t indeed, we think it - should be generally circn- Wed theaugh the South of tivelvd; it should be ad d coed to the people from the Altar. The folly, as well as the Mirthless, of these Arkanciations could not be more (orcittly put, than by reminding the Peasantry of t ttfaiture of all cornier efforts ; of theirs, and of the ire°. giThlons death which all the 'Anders suffered since the ,oppearanee of Whitehoyiiiiiiti4 , 7 6 . ,e4ol;:peciat. , ng* after owl? the Casty be tranquillity.

To its, who are opposed in principle to the Insurrection /Pict, iltis determination is particularly agreeable. It *ill, we have op ;doubt, supersede the necessity of hay log recourse ti• Wit unconstitutional measure. The Commission wiWepeedily, we firmly believe; work out its object. Not only is the County of Limerick com paratively tranquil, hut by accounts from Kerry, it apps a.e, that the deluded Peasantry are surrendering their arms to the Magistrates. Dr. Church, one of the most active Magistrate!, and one of the hest men in the County of Kerry, proceeded to a certain place, about ten miles from Listowel, and bordering on the County of Limerick, where fifteen stand of arms were delivered to hint, accompanied by the compliments of Captain Rock. The particulars of this curious and gratifying scene we shall lay before the public, on Thurstlay. There has been a meeting at Ballinhassig, in the county of Cork, consisting - of certain half-pay officers and others. '1 he district is quiet, and has never been oivturhed ; and yet a memorial was sent to the Lord Lieutenant, requesting his Excellency to embody the militia, and proclaim the Insurrection Act. Gentle • men, you ;ire too late—the Special Commission in Li merick has already proved what the ordinary tribunals are able to accomplish. Its another month, all the cowry will he at peace, without either the Insurrec ton Act, or the embodying of the militia. Some outrages have occurred in Limerick and Cork, but they are not of a nature particularly for- Dustim, Dec. 24.—The Members of the Corpora t on went up to the Castle, in their Robes, this day, at *lts o'clock, to present their Address to Lord Talbot. His Excellency was pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood on the Sheriffs. His Excellency received the Aldermen of Skinner's Alley, at three o'clock, when they presented their Address! The Sessions Grand Jury has also voted an Ad dress, which was received immediately after that of tie Corporation. General Sir Colin Campbell is appointed Chamber lain to his Excellency the new Vieeroy of Ireland. norrixo LIMIT SEfIP.-Daring the dreadful gale of Thursday night last, the Light Ship, that was moor ed at the Kish Bank was forced from her anchorage, bn akiog all her chains, and driven to sea, having on board ten men. Considerable apprvbensions were en t •rtaked for her safety ; but It e are happy to state her being safe at Holyhead, where she arrived on Friday evening.—(Doblig. Mercantile Adeertieer.)

Sir Benjamin Bloomfield departed fur London on Monday; and, with Lady Bloomfield and family, is daily expected to return. In this county (particularly in the Eastern part of it), the farmers are in a deplorable condition. Several of them, who rented large portions of land, and who have been reputed wealthy, have, within these few weeks, failed to an immense amount ; one, it is said, for 20,000/. A second meeting of the Agriculturists of Sussex, will shortly take place. Groyne, at Black Rock Bottom, we regret to learn, has been so assailed by the late heavy seas, that lit tle hope exists of its being able long to withstand further . attacks. The outer part of the work is nearly rendered useless. The failure of this project will, we rear, entail a heavy loss upon the town. Several other of our groynes , have been seriously injured by the excessive violence of the present South Basterly gale. We still have a continuance of dreadfully tempestuous weather, and it now blows with iucreaselfury from thel, S. E. with torrents of rain. The damage done at sea must be incalculable ; and we cannot look at the loss of valuable lives, and the miseries brought on thousands of deserving families in eteneeqoaaco, without ehadderiog we understated; that upwards of one hundred ships have, been toot since the I a of December, belonging to the Port of LOndon alone; and damages in proportion have been I sustained by the shipping interest throughout the kingdom. No collier has been able to come on our beach for up wards of two months. The valuable acquisition of Shore ham harbour now becomes manifest, and has been the means of preserving much valuable property and many lives, during the present weather, in securing a side shelter for our hardy tars to run to in gales from the Southward. Most of the harbours - have been blocked up, Dover in particular. This inconvenience has been little felt at Shoreham. It is expected, that when the present improvements are completed, that it will rank as one of the finest harbours in the Channel. We regret to find that coals are getting exceedingly scarce in this town ; unless the wind should shortly shift, Lewes and other places will become completely e xhausted. A very high flood, on Tuesday, inundated all the low lands near Lewes. The water has not been known to be so high at Uckfield and other places for many years. There has not been a higher flood at Arundel than at present, since the great one that extended its sweep ing havoc to Chichester. At Bramber, the inhabitants, in consequence of the flood being nearly br4ast high on the growl floors of their houses, are obliged to live in the upper stories. A ship's jolly -boat has been driven on shore between Hove and Shoreham, marked "Good Intent, of Exeter, William Pearce." POLICE.—On Monday, Thomas Sargent was com mitted to Horsham Gaol for non-payment of a fine of 141. fur having a tub of Geneva in his possession. On Thursday, G. Jasper, a fisherman, was complained of by Mr. Chassereau, for demanding parochial aid, in a most violent manner, and while, too, he was in a state of intoxication : Jasper, being heartily ashamed of his conduct, and promising never to repeat the offence, was, at the desire of Mr. C. let off unpunished.— A simple, honest -looking rustic complained of his wife, who, he said, " bad taken up with another man ;" the woman was present, and reproached her husband with unkind treatment towards her ; the Ma gistrates, of course, could not interfere, which greatly perplexed the poor fellow, who seemed very anxious that his rib should be punished a little bit for ber faithless conduct to him. When the parties left the Court, the paramour of the woman, who had been wait§ ing without, bore ber off in triumph, she nothing loth. The feelings of poor Hodge (who appeared uncommonly fund of his abandoned spouse,) may better be imagined than described.—Sir D. Scott sat on the Bench each day. IIISLANCHOIa CIRCI/MISTANC 6.--a party of ten with the view of keep in g u p an old ass yeatihsimut,denominated " Tip Teerering," sallied from Chichester on Monday evening. and pursued athd e route of Hampnett , Westerton, Woodcut, n Goodwood, and having finished their tuneful round, they agreed, in order to counteract the effects of the cold, to run home; when Richard Cooper, aged 13 years, who was hindmost, having fallen in a ploughed field, was left bebind.—Op search being made a short time afterwards, be was discovered lifeless in a field, at Woodcut. The extra beverage srlsich he had taken, combined with the cold and damp situation la which be fell, caused his death.

She is expected to be got off by discharging her cargo. The Swallow, Jones, from St. Petersburgh, was ran foul of, and her bow-sprit and gib-boom were carried away. Several vessels are arrived in these 'toads, with damage from the late gales. On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, as the head waiter at the Bear Inn, near the bridge, named John Gardener, with the horse-keeper, were Icailing the master of a Humber keel, who was rather inebri ated, to his vessel, lying near the house, owing to the intense darkness of the night, they stumbled against one of the mooring ropes, which caused all three to fall, when the waiter was unfortunately precipitated into the river and drowned. An alarm was instantly given, and every exertion used to recover the body, which however was not found until near four o'clock. It is observable in the Exeter-market, that the poorer classes bave profitted by the great fall in the price of meat, to improve their mode of living.— Those who lately limited their little purchases to slender rations of bacon or mutton fat only, to sweeten their potatoes with, now buy beef awl mutton now , shorn of their loose fat. Coarse pieces of both ll here at from 2d. to W. per lb. ; and, in consequence of this great reduction, we are assured, the poor in general have nearly doubled their average consump tion of animal food.—(Weefera Lansinary) Several vessels which put to sea at the commeoce agent of the present month, from Liverpool, bound to America, lice. have been compelled to put back, from the 'accession of heavy gales from the westward, after bating been a considerable distance on their voyage. So very numerous were the geese in town that the holders were selling them on Saturday and yesterday at two shillings each. Four to five s hillings were got for them on Wednesday last.—(GlasgoteChron) " T un Agreeable §vararse."—A person of the name of Mackie, usually resident in Aberdeen, having been missing for some time past, his relatives conjec tured that. the body recently found iu the Oldtown Links was that of their friend, and foolishly persisted in asserting it to be so, in opposition to the most con clusive evidence to the contrary. We understand, that Mackie has at length appeared is propris persona, to the greatjoy of his disconsolate spouse! The patti es have n ot lived together fo r many years. Thelost husband was found working in the neighbourhood of Tara. An inquisition was taken on Tuesday last, before Mr. IUNWIN, the Coroner, at the Five Belle. Three Colt. street, Limehouse, on view of the body of Peter Mangle. It appeared that the deceased was a ballast-beaver, and that about five weeks ago he bad fallen out of a ballast lighter at Blackwell -reach, and was drowned. He was dragged for varrbus times then and since, but all efforts to God the body proved fruitless until Snnday mohsing last, whes it was found at Dube's-shore, Limehouse. a 'distance of four miles from *here he was drowned.

It is awful to see the country from Maidenhead -bridge to iChertsey, on each side of the Thames all covered with .• ',rater--farmers are obliged to move theit cattle of everyl kind from their home, fields and meadows akerwerell • , with water—and nothing is to be seen bat the the trees. The lower part of Little Windsor Park is covered with water. In E ton, man y of the houses a , flooded, in the shops the water is up to the counters. There are carts and boats to take the passengers tp and from the Windsor side. At the Swan Inn every house has been of necessity removed ; in many of the • cellars the water is five feet deep. No carriage can come by Datchet to Windsor. Much damage was canted yesterday on both banks of the. Thames, particularly on the Surrey side, by the high tide. In the low ground near Waterlo.)-bridge, the water reached to the first floors of several houses, and one house was entirely blown up by it. One man, we are sorry to learn, lost his life, and another was conveyed to an hospital mach iojured. The groom! was inundated to a considerable distance on each side. of the Waterloo-road. 'f he river at full title yesterday broke through the bank at Millhatik, and the whole country between Pi:nlico, Chelsea and Westminster appeared one great sea. Immense damage has been sustained by the kitchen t , ardeners on !Milbank. The inhabitants seem many of them in the greatest apprehension for their lives—unable to escape from the threatening element, and calling in vain from the windows of the upper parts of their houses for assistance. We have not, however, heard of any lives having been lost. Boats were plying in all direction' to afford assistance in case of accident. The greatest alarm was entertained lest the title this morning should be still more devastating. The spectacle could only be paralleled by what takes place in Holland, when any of the dikes give way. — The oldest inhabitant remembers nothing at all ap proaching to it. The accounts brought yesterday (rem all parts of the country, of the damage sustained by the incessant and heavy rains, which have now continued, more or leer, during several weeks, are truly distressing. The progress of the mail coaches is mncb impeded by the great floods. A bridge near Staines having given way, and the road being also overflowed between Staines and Beam. the western bags were ferried over in boats at two places, both those leaving Lon don and those due yesterday. The usual exertions of the Post-office are applied to maintain as much regu larity as is practicable, under such difficulties. We nnderstand that snow has fallen in the west, and that there have been sharp frosts at night, in many parts of the country. The flood, at Fromm, on Sunday meaning last, occa sioned by the tremendous storm of the preceding even ing, was higher than any that has been known in that town for nearly sixty years. The damage sustained amounts to several thousand pounds. At Bristol, and many other places, the Nary rains have been accompanied with violent stormskf wind, thunder, and lightning, uprooting boys" loving down stacks of chimnies, and, in some instaol, beer ing the unhappy inmate* seder tin raise. • Th e waters in the ne i g hbourhood of ‘Gialsridge (says rife Ca nbridge Chronkle) have vivoa higher during the present week than we. reintoSer to have :‘ 0 ' • - ; 7.1 : • ~ ,~,, . -.:.... ~L I : ,4 I I 1 1 '1
