A we, *be have promised every *thing without 1610 g any good fee the Country, and we repeat, that a vseral act to transport all the people of Ireland, or a radical cbanen•of men and measures are the only %banes left to tranquilize that oppressed and degraded von tey. The grievances are well known. A system of `+conciliation would, at once effect a care. Corroding sidieiers have been tried in vain. Emollients should have s tilt chance. Bnt let the Government beware of cal ming Yeomanry. The formal Prorogation of Partiament took place yesterday, at three o'clock. The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Montrose and Lord Viscount Melville, were the Commissioners. The Commons were represented by Mr. Ley, Mr. Hickman, and some of the Officers of the House. The Lord Chancellor stated, that the Commissioners had it in command from his Majesty further to prorogue the Parliament till Thursday, the 3d January next. • Letters from Berlin, received by the last mail, again distinctly affirm, that the Emperor of Russia no longer had it in his power to give up his project against Tur key, which would certainly be acted upon, although it .waa probable some delay would take place, by which be would be no loser, as, in the mean time, the Turks were weakening themselves by their exertions against the •Oreeks, and censeptentlY would hereafter become au .easier prey. Tbe same letters also allude, in a mys terious manner, to the discovery of a plot in Poland against the Grand Duke Constantine ; which, they add, has possibly been got up on purpose, to dissuade the Em. peror from hostile aggressions, under an idea that he is not altogether secure at home. It is further stated, that it .was the wish of some of the Allied Powers to have had another Congress, and that the King of England's visit to Hanover was connected with this project; but the Emperor Alexander and King of Prussia pointedly re fesed to join in the measure.—(Moraing Chronicle.) We rejoice to find by the contents of the New York Aspen received yesterday, that the ravages of the yellow fever in •America, are neither so extensive nor so deadly. At Alexandria the Mayor bad been empowered by the Board of Physiciani - to declare that the town had been restored to its usual health. At Savannah the diminu tiontip the number of cases and of deaths was tonsi -1 Ilerable. All the infected places were in fact rapidly re ___ - . ___—......sioepsiseeti Frellerickton and the twat ;Abet ratite; where not leis than 4,000 indivi duals were still on the sick list. The treaty and adjustment between O'Donojn and lim'blde, referred to in the Manifesto of the former, which ete yesterday published, appears to be on his pet a very extraordinary proceeding. He had just a need in Mexico, with the appointment by the Spa al4h Cortes to the Viceroyal!y of that rich province. Ii there f und Apodaca, whom lie had been sent to sioersede, already deposed by the soldiery, and No vela by • b same agency declared his siteeesgor. Without any communica ion with eitl:er of t'i, se noble ra.e, or with the leading nien at Mexico, lie concludes t e trea t y above-mentioned, declaring the independ ence of mesiec, and elevating it into an empire. It is en 'hi% treaty alone that the general persuasion de r ids, that this valuable c )lony bad wholly shaken off Ls ties with the mother country. By letters from the thrannsh, we are led to understand what it was at . first difficult to comprehend, that the treaty between O'Donojn and Iturbille had been refused the sanction of the reiring Viceroy and of the principal persons in Mexico. This now appears extremely probable; and the battle for independence, therefore, though its triumph cannot be far distant, is perhaps still to be fought. It is not the least curious part of this com plex transaction, that O'Donoju seems to have acted throughout under full authority from Spain, and had aehip in readiness at Vera Cm to carry the ratified nestles to Europe. On Friday last, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, Sir Robert Wilson made his appearance on horseback is this town (Newcastle,) when a number of persens assembled to have a sight of the gallant General, who addressed them In a short speech in Pil iiestetreet.

The people he bad 6 4e pleasure of addressing could better judge of the pro- Piety of his behaviour, when it came, as it shortly would, before the consideration of the House of Com mons. From the documents that would be laid before Pirliament, they would be enabled to judge how far his ainlpt.dismission from the army was justifiable—they could then decide bow far he had merited their good opinion. The feeling which had been expressed so 114 10 Nly throughout the country in his favour had made such an indelible impression on his mind as its time could erase, aid could only cease with his exist ence.'

MINUTE AND RADICAL RETRIINCHRNT.—We some time ago mentioned part- of the reductions in contem plation or actually effected by Ministers, but we were not till now in possession of the fact which we are about to state, and which evinces more than any other their determined purpose of economy. Among the multiplicity of agents employed in the Arsenal and Dock yard of Woolwich is an establishment of 40 cats. These useful animals, it would appear, have, during our sea son of prosperity, been rioting on rations which cost the country threepence a week each. They are now order ed to have shorter commons, and to be placed out at board wages of two—thus saving the nation no less a sum than forty pence per week. We strongly recom mend this instance of retrenchment for its good sense as well as for the relief which it occasions, convinced that the animals in question, like some other official persons, will be the more effective if they are less fed. Another view of it we consider equally consolatory. Ministers, by reducing their establishments, see that they will have fewer rats—adetestable species of vermin that have lately increased to an alarming extent, and consequently will not only be able to diminish the allowance, but to lesson the number of their cats.—(Tianee.) The celebrated Colonel Brows. of Milan fame, it is understood, is now enjoying the hospitalities of Lord Stewart, our Ambassador to Vienna, at Wynyard-hall, in the county of Durham. In consideration of the loyal and zealous attentions of the inhabitants of Ramsgate, on the King's em barkation and disembarkation at that place, Lord Sid month has addressed a letter to Sir Wm. Curtis, an nouncing his Majesty's command that the harbour of Ramsgate be henceforth denominated a Royal Har bour, and that the Royal etandard should be hoisted there on the day appointed for the celebration of hi. 4 Majesty's birth-day, and on the anniversary of his Ma jesty's accession and coronation. SUDDEN DEATH OP THE COUNTESS OF BESBO - a courier who yesterday arrived exprebs from Florence, intelligence was received that her lady ship was taken seriously ill when travelling about six posts from the above city. It was the death of the infant son of the lion. William Ponsonby, that had such a lamentable effect on this amiable Lady's nerves. Her Ladyship breathed her last at seven o'clock, on the morning of the 1 Ith inst. in the presence of the Earl of Bebborough and Mr. Ponsonby. Her Lady ship was sister to the Earl Spencer, and to the late Duchess of Devonshire. These two ladies were called the Hirai Sisters ; in beauty and accomplishments they had few equals. COVENT GARDEN THEATRIL—To accommodate the genius of Shakspear to the taste of result times, The, Two Gentletnen of Verona was last nfickt revived at this theatre, bet presented rather in the form of awl Opera than that of. comedy. When the public look for delight to the vilification of their *yelled ears. IV' /lir than to the play of feeling or the exercise of intellect, thls,nianagers• 'do well to depend on their artjsta and their vocal performers in the performance ofthe fashionable Mele-Drama. In the present Piece a variety of songs is introduced upon the original plan of taking them entirely from the writings of Susesersac, and chiefly from his sonnets and poems. Mr. Rumor is the composer, and with the exception of two movements, which he has taken from ARNE and SHIELD, he claims the origin of all the music in the piece. The music was calculated to add greatly to the reputation of the com poser, and combining with the splendour and magnifi cence of the pageantry, obtained the deserved applause of the audience to the performance. Miss TREE in all her songs was delightful. Miss Ilamixox sung with great epirit, and in a bravura in the second act was encored. The pageantry we have mentioned is the most gorgeous that can be conceived. It is a representation of the Carnival with all '.its gaieties and amusements. actors were all strenuous in their exertichise - ,Ltstolk as Lawnce, together with his dog Crab, kept the audience la unceasing laughter. The animal is a remarkably time dog of the Newfoundland species , and went through his performance with the utmost unconcern. The lies of Legatee have been partially divested of ;ET offensive matter, hut not sufficiently. The other parts were well sustained by the respective performers, and the play was announced for repetition amidst the loud applause of a very crowded house. DOVER, Nov. 23.—1 t has blown very hard all day from the sonth-west, and indeed this afternoon it turned to a complete hurricane of wind and rain. The cruising lugger belonging to the Badger revenue cut ter, in making for the harbour this morning, was, by a sudden squall and the swell of the sea, driven against the North Pier Head, when she filled, and almost in stantly went to pieces. The crew, by the promptitude and bravery of our boatmen, were saved. The wreck was strewed to a considerable distance along the shore. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.—Loss or THE Sane SHA• Fox. Car?. Wyea.—The ship Sea-Fox sailed from Sandy Hook, on Saturday morning last, bound to Port an-Piince, with a fine wool, and nothing material oc curred until eleven o'clock, when she was struck by a sadden squall and capsized. Mr. Dawson, one of the passengers, states, that the dead lights not being in, the water rushed with great violence into the cabin windows, which filled it instantly ; he immediately seised his sis ter, Miss Matilda Dawson, with whom lie attempted to get on deck : the water through the cabi n windows forced them out of the companion why; the struggle was so great, and the companion so very small, that his sister fainted, and could not be got up. Captain Wyer, who was still in the cabin at the time she ca reached the deck, but was instantly swept over i t e rt and remained in the water near half an hour, when be providentially reached the ship again. The fol lowing are the names of the passengers who were drowned in the cabin:—Lieutenant Easterbrook t wife and two .children; . Mr. Christian F. Speyer*, of New York; Mr. Jonathan 0. Walker, of Port-au-Princes Miss Matilda Dawson and servant, of New York I the cook and seven seamen were washed from the deck, The following were saved :--Captain Wye; Eisvis Dawson, George Dawson, William Rees, a adieu% al Immo. sad four of the - drew.

Close by him and by the door lay a man with the key of the door in one hand, and a gun barrel near the other. It was a most unfortunate circumstance that there was but one door to the house, or some of the people might have escaped; and that they seemed to depend upon their arms and their strength in a thatched building.— It is mentioned they had ten stand of arms within—this is very probable, as we saw the barrel of a large iron blunderbuss, the barrel of a fowling piece, five shorter gon-barrels, one pistol barrel, and three locks of arms carried away from the ruins by the Police stationed at Eißiard. From the position in which Mr. Edmond Shea, (the proprietor of the house) was fond, as :hove related, it id supposed he was in the act of drawing the bolt from the door when be met his death. A child about two years old was found placed in a pail of water, where it remained untouched by the fire, save only what floated above water. At each side of the door there was a loop-hole for small arms, about three inches is diameter, which com manded the entrance; these, however, did not appear to bate been used, as the glass remained entire in one of them on Wednesday, and the other was little broken. It dors not appear that Williams or Dillon, (ex- amined ol the Inquest) saw any of the monsters en gaged in this havoc, as they CMS in the direction of the smoke ; but we understand that s:x men were seen about the fire, by persons observing frotn near three quarters of a mile distant :—and it is also men tioned, that so late as eight o'clock in the uiornini., a fellow olio remained sleeping in the straw in the hag gard, adjoining the scene of the conflagration rose op and ran off, on being observed by some women who came to view the ruins. Of the neighbouring Magistrates, there attended on Wednesday, at the place of this most alarming and in human enormity, Messrs. James 0. Jacob, William Barton, James Purefoy Poe, V. Despard. Richard Chadwick. and R. Cooke, of Kiltynane.—These. Oen tleinen opened a subscription fir offering rewards for the discovery and prosecution Of the oorgons concern ed in the before-recited infernal act, which was signed on the spot by ambers. About two in the afternoon of Wednesday, the re mains of the sixteen sufferers were taken in 12 coffins free the raise—sevea to Closets eburehltord.foat to Bait of Kilvemnon, and one to Orange.—/Flweigist wasmourntal in the extreme. Several Clergymen ap ' postai with betbeada, so did several other geminate, farmers, and others,—all evidently impressed as they should be on so melancholy an occasion. In another place we mentioned the attendeuee of Magistrates on Wednesday ; on that day they ad journed their Meeting till yesterday, at Cloonten— when there were there assembled Messrs. Robert Cooke, Benjamin Bennett Bradshaw, James Pardo) , Poe, William Barton, Francis Depard, Richard Chad wick, and Richard Millett. These ticntlesnen had summoned nearly 40 persons from the immediate vi cinity of the scene of woe, many of whom had level their nearest relatives or friends--and at five o'clock, yesterday evening bad not examined more than fiftees of them; so that we think the investigation may ceo. tinee some days. There seemed to be no backward- I ness on the part of the people to give every assistance In their power to the inquiry; and many there are who would hazard life and limbs, to bring the destroyers of their brothers, sisters, and of other relatives aid Maids, to the tribunal of justice. The Sbeas are known fur ages in that cosetry—opalent, respectable. and esteemed ; the Mulleily's are connected with a de termined and extensive body of men; one of the young women who perished on the occasion, and to whom we had before alluded, bad 4001. and was to bare been married in a few days. The murderers of each as these will have many enemies—the nature of the deed could make no human being a friend—at least no one worthy of the name. We shall not again allude to the supposed cause of the *. direful wrath" which produced this frightful catastrophe, so repulsive to every feeling of humanity -,but it seems to be of a local nature, and independent of toteign infection. On the same sight that Mr. 114alsall Shea's house was burnt, one of his brothers, i, HA near Barnockstown, got a node e to quit his la - but we hear of no other instance of a like nature in part of the country. In the meantime we regret to learn, that in the parish of Sollahead, near Tipperary, indications of the County Limerick infection begin to manifest them selves—and that unlawful oaths have been there ad ministered. lIELANCIMLY OCCUIRRiNCE..--On Friday last a poor man of the name of Keating, who resides in one of the small houses in the rear of No. 140, Meeklen• burgh-street. Dublin, was employed by Mr. Richard Dollard, of the same street, to remove some ferniture for him. Whilst this employed the poor man found in the kitchen some dough that bad been prepared with arsenic, for poisoning rats. Not being aware of its being poisoned be brought it home to his mother telling her to make bread of It; the dough, is the musadme, bad been missed, and some alarm baying bees excited, It was mentioned to every one about the plop that it was poisoned.

Wallace, Earl, for tal!taittifig a cri minal inf rotation against tU defend.itits, a full report of which we published at the gine. The CHIEF tiVSTICE, in pronouncing judgmeft„ said, that Le did not conceive list try thing had appeared in the argument sniticient to implicate . 11., defendants in the assault that had been commi tted on Mr. Wallace. It appeared, however, to the Court, that the publication signed ' Ainicus,' which appeared in the DpUin Weekly Register, together with the observations on that letter, were fully affixed on Mr. Michael Staunton, the Editor of that Paper. The statement which appeared in Garrick': Monti • Nat, was the avowed produclon of Mr,. Win blo *awe. and was in the hand-writing of Mr. it. SeOtt,i re other defendant. His Lordship thought those publications were highly critninsi, as they attempted to justify: the assault'; if this doctrine was established, it would ap pear that the party who might feel himself aggrieved in a Court of Justice, had a right to send a challenge, and if it should not be accepted, to eisiult the person from whom be received the supposed injury. Those publications tended also to impede the administration of justice, and there could be no doubt of their bring libellous, as they imputed cowardice to the prose. cutor. His Lordship sai I, that taking all these cir cumstances into consideration, the Court felt it their duty to refer the case to a Jury, who. were the proper Judges. His Lordship then pronounced !Vas the ,rinaninrsus ' judgment of the Court, ,that the cause eber a by the defendants should be diiallowal. ,; , : , 5, .

Mr. Serjeant Vaxont.nowiddressed the tedit ttis day, on the part of Hints, Esq., in order to chew cause why the conditional order, which had been year t ed by the Court, fur an attachment against him, iihould not be made absolute. Mr. ROBERT JOHNSON followed on the saute side, and Mr. WALLACE, on the part of Mc. Blackburn*, having replied, Lord Nonscnv then proceeded to give judgment.— His Lordship expremed his surprise at seeing two Learned Gentlemen, one of them belonging to the Connaught Circuit, gravely tell the Court that the words " you must abide the consequences," did nor im ply the sending of a hostile message. Those words his Lordship conceived, would not be misunderstood in either Galway or Sligo ; and if they were misunderstood in Court, and that a faithful report of the hearing of this motion appeared in the papers, the English would suppose that Irishmen were changing their churacters'. since they did not understand the wording of,a challenge. His Lordship then pronounced inclement for the grant ing the attachment against Mr. Ilion. • Judge FLETCHER and Mr. Justice Alooan fully coinr cided with Lord Nonutrav, each giving judgment to the same e ff ect.
