At last, my dear Pat, you condescended to answer my letters, which I received in a parcel by the *mail (car riage paid). I suppose I should have beard from you before, only you're so very busy doing nothing that you had not s moment to yourself. I'm told you London folks are so actively employed, you have nothing to do but read the newspapers, and send beggars bullets at the Horse Marion. I &messily glad to receive your long letter, which should have been sent back .wrapped in brown paper to make you pay treble postage, but for the secrets contained therein, and which amply confirm the particulars of my former respects toyou. appears from the complexion of the newspapers. you are, as I fore told, quite jealous of the King's attention to us, and feel pleasure at the row at the Mansion-house by that dery Darley. 1 have already stated to von thatiow bred shabby vagabonds, who got their breadby Irish disunion will at all times endeavour to fan .the embers of low party prejudice, and take every means to hold that power they have so long exercised to the injury of the King and the People. Oh, bad luck to the Crawley,. Indeed you are as jealous of as as ever Sir W— S—r was of 5 y 31'C—n. So it appears, do what we will, we. can't satisfy you, and like the Irish Drum mer, let him flog high or low, he •can't please. No matter about that, they say love creates jealousy.— Devil burn the much of that we ever had from you ; the fault is not with us in this country. My dear Pat, you never beard a stranger abused or call'd ugly names. I wish it was so every where for the honor of both. Good luck to the Boys at your side, they are darlent fellows. Pray tell n, , in your next, is it tree that the King is about to seed the Heroes of Hyde-perk to Hanover, as a hotly guard, when he goes there. Between you and I Pat, I believe it is a 41.--d lie ; his Majesty is no such fool, as to trust his life with a set of fellows, that at all times have been ready to -- his subjects. 011, no, the King knows what's what! he has learned a lessor since he came here, that may beof service to him ail the days of his life. He has seen the only way to cattiest, the friendship of the people, is to mix with them. He sees that he wants no soldiers to guard hint—no bullet proof coach—ao Oarcre to throw stones at him, and after swear ag:litist his subjects. Here his Majesty may walk, ride, or julep ; he has nothing to dread.— We want nothing of him but to put down the raga bone Delius, and if he don't do that in quick time, his visit nitll do more harm than good, because it has held out, the Olive of Peace which his Ma jesty's presence was to confirm, and his words and actions since his arrival, have led us to suppose this grand act of conciliation, was to be the healing balm fur all minds and opinions. Oh, glory be to the real Boys here, they did nut begin the mischief ; it was the organ Of that detested faction who have deluged Ire land with blood, and would again attempt it, sooner than lose an atom of their ill gotten power. We wait impatiently his Majesty's return from Slane Castle, when we hope, as every liberal man in the country does, that the King will make an example of the ruf fian who insulted him so grossly in running counter to leis Majesty's most peaceable instructions and pater nal intentions; even the King himself don't escape their detested malice. They whisper aniong themselves that he is one of Sheraus Achockah's breed, and that he is no real —, or he'd never give any power to the b— Papislies. This is given in underneath tones and propagated by the steuddllo . .,o fanatics, as well as the &leo gownsuien; and should his Majesty put down such conffuct, he would become more popular than any of his family ever have been. Unfortunately, the name of religion has been the watch w..rol of persecution ; and what is the war between the Turks and Greeks hut a second edition of the Irish massacres : 3 with this difference, they have more charity in Turkey, they cut off the head at once; whereas, in Ireland, they flayed off the skin in piece -meal, with a cat-u'-nice-tails, and afterwards rubbed the wounds with salt, which was winch worse than the flogging itself.—(M, bushel, of Lod lack to the Crutelcys ! You mutation, the people have doubted your narratives en the elements of torture ; tell those, who will not believe what they don't like, that every species of cru elty, from the bastinado to the gibbet, and from tie ing to horses tails to skinning alive, has been prat-' tired on the unfortunate Irish. You have had some trilling samples of what could be dune by a lawless sol diery; yet your English Dukes, and Lords, and weights, never attempted to remove a body of red-coats who exultingly glory in the blood they have spilled. Some think they add laurels to their fame by enlarging the list of killed and wounded among their neighbours engaged in the act of paying the last token of respect to their abused and unfortunate Queen. Oh, what a time to let loose --, and then would secret them from justice! That reminds me of Jemmy O'B—n. whom they had protected in the Castle-yard house until an honest English serjeant of Militia gave a friend the wink. who had the cowardly murderer t ken and banged ; which would not have been done hut lie had previously lodged his robberies in the hands of his employer (his wife said LINO; who by letting Jemmy swing, kept the cash to himself ; but he has since ward swaddling preacher and washed off his crimes and rapacities by his great faith in the powers ahove.—thi, food leek end re-bed leek to Me Cronekye: Your newspapers one day, are sending off the King to Hanover is a hurry ; what ganders you must be to think his Majesty wishes to visit those in death that he never liked when living. The Repot tis all fudge and dentistry ; he'd much rather be where he is ; an probation andpopulat notice are ton great novelties to his Majesty, to get so soon tired of them. The next day you are sending him off to London. Ob, bodther, luck and grate to me, but the new Marquess knows better than let his Majesty return to head-quarters, until the present ferment has subsided with you, as well as with us ; so that between the Life Guards with yon, and the Blackguards with us. the King, Lord help Ishii. is placed between too fire., and likely to be Ringed. Then, my dear Pat, do your newspapers want to make a Judy of his Majesty ? Troth and we won't let them ;he is making great progress in learning Irish ; and by the time be touches at the four provinces, he'll have it at his fingers ends. On Monday evening he arrived at the Castle from Slane, and went directly to dine with the College boys, and it as, as usual, as happy as good humour and hos pitality could make him. The next day was the In stallation of the Knights of St. Patrick, and a grand THE STATEMA N. - "ilyprio4111111.111... shew it was; (nearly equal to your. oronation,) sides, there was no hissings js .with you, mly at Delso Darley, who can't move out without the repro bation of every real friend to peice. It is said that a Meeting has taken place to preient the conduct of him and his vagabone associates to his Majesty, who will no doubt remove him frn a situation which he has disgraced. Oh l bad luck . to the Crawley:! 1 promised news'froin the Curragh, and the Duke of Leihster, and all the Kildare boys, blessings on them, the whole of wh ich you'll receive enclosed by next post. Banging!' Ali lath. THE MAIVESS AVLONDONDERST.—On Saturday evening last, Belfast was honoured with the presence of no less a personage than the Most Noble the Marquess of Londoaderry. He drove into town, accompanied by his nephew, Lord Valletort, and yet strange to tell, notwithstanding the recent example of the capital, no • cheers heralded the approach of the mighty Statesman ! After a short delay, during which tine his Lordship took some refreshment, his carriage drew up for his departure, and as he was about to enter it a cheer was attempted, when instantaneously the ears of the Noble Marquess were assailed with a most dis cordant mixture of hisses, groans, and language not very courtly, amid which be drove off at a very rapid pace to Monnt-stewart.—(lriehman.) All the houses of worship in this town, 'with the exception, we believe of one, are hung with black, in testimony of respect to the memory •of our late la mented Queen.—(/6id.) A correspondent of The Irishman says :—Party is Scotched not Killed.—The reconciliation of parties, which appears to have taken place to a certain degree in Dublin from the King's visit, has not reached some other parts. On the 25:h instant, an inspection of Yeomanry took place in Lisburn. The Ballinderry corps marched into town, with a Lieutensut.at their head, playing the party tune of The Protestant Boys. A complaint has been sent lot ward to the Chief Secre tary, to ascertain whether Government will sanction such a proceeding. It is fitting that we should know, whether a reconciliation, which has co,t Ireland so great a sacrifice of honour, is merely applied to the ear, though broken to the hope at the caprice of every subaltern who may please to prolong the vexatious age of bigotry. Are the benefits of the new era to be extended to all parts of Ireland, or merely confined to the immediate presence of the King ? Dvat.tx New Doces.—A correspondent of the Dub lin Morning Post of Thursday says, it is a melan choly fact, that such is the depression of trade in this city, that on the opening of the New Revenue Docks, on Monday last, the only vessel Mat could 6e procured ira the harbour, to perform the ceremony of entering them, teas a pleasure Goat! Query—Would it not have been better to have distributed the sum of 500,0001. to the distressed traders and manufacturers, which would have caused the revival of trade, and consequent ly flowed back with interest to Isis Majesty's revenue, than to have expended as much on the erection of Docks and Buildings, which, from the foregoing cir cumstance, must be perfectly useless: It is said in a German paper, that in addition to the other instances of zeal in the cause of the Greeks ma nifested its dill'erent parts of Germany, 600 citizens of Bonn, on the Rhine, have formed a subscription to aid them, and that more than 200 young men, mostly students, have enrolled themselves in a corps to pro ceed to join them against their Turkish oppressors. These youths are to be accoutred like our riflemen. They will proceed to Marseilles, and thence embark fur time Mores. Prince Emilia! of Ilesse Darmstadt is said to have declared, that in case the German vo lunteers in the cause of Greek independence should de sire to be led on by a German Prince, he is ready to place himself at their head. Letters from Barcelona, of the ISth ult. say, " The disorder which has manifested itself here has happily made no pregress. We enjoy the hest health, not a single inhabitant has been attacked by the disease, of which however, we feel the dreadful effects by the to tal interruption of commercial business. The return of deaths in the Lazaretto is 4 out of 22. Instructions have been given to collectors of As sessed Taxes, that the duties in respect of Husbandry Horses are to be collected for only one quarter of the present year; and after payment of one-fourth part of the duties assessed, the Commissioners of the District will discharge the remainder of the said duties. Per sons who have compounded fur the said duties are also to be relieved in the same manner for three quarters of this year, being the third year of their contracts, after payment of one-fourth part of their duties ; but no part of 5 per cent. duty is to be dis charged, which will remain on the charge to be col lected when it becomes due. Elm/Briton, Aco. 3l.—An instance of sterling honesty was displayed heir on Monday last. A lady and gentleman, who bad been out at dinner on Sunday, sent for a hackney coach to take them home. At night the lady missed a five pound note from her purse; and recollecting that the had taken a piece of money from it to pay a chairman who had gone for the coach, she immediately concluded that the note had been then pulled out, and blown off by the wind. Un Monday morning, however, the lady was waited upon by the coachman, with the missing note, which he had found on the seat of the coach. He was liberally rewarded by the lady; and we regret that we have not been fur- niched with the name of this honest individual, that we might, to his honour, make it public. A CACTIOR TO DEALERS IN CORN.—By the Act of Parliament lately passed far regulating the Importa tion and Exportation of Corn, Brain, Meal and Flour, into and from Ureat Britain, it is required that all Millers, Maltsters, Factors, Merchants, Clerks, Agents, and other persons, being dealers in corn, for sale ; or the sale of Meal, Flour, Malt. or Bread made thereof, do return, or cause to be returned to the Inspector of Corn Returns, an account in writing, signed with their own name, of the amount of each and every parcel of each respective sort of British Corn, and the price thereof, and by %that weight or measure the same was bought by them during the week on the first market day then next ensuing, and the names of-the sellers of each of the said parcels respectively; in de-• fault thereof, sucß dealer is subject to the penalty of 101. Every such Miller, &c. to make a declaration before a Magistrate, that such return shall be true and just; and the Inspector nut to receive the returns finless it shall be satisfactorily proved to him, that the person or persons tendering the same, shall have made the said declaration. Tr?. :I ::i ... , ....011.4111k• ;A.,/ • ••‘4Oll, PLAIN TRUTHS. • ?) The moment that places the Omen in the tomb, Envelopes the heart of each Briton with gloom ; 'While* and delusion In Erin now ring. And Pageants divert the light heart of the King. So passes the glare of a light sunny shower, No brightness reigns there unless gilded by power, While Darle, and Co. reign as Tyrants, 'tis clear, The King must transport 'em, or atop the whole year. D. The King is expected t.) embark for his German dominions ab.lut the tuit:tlle of the present month 3lagnificent preparations are soaking for his corona tion as King of Hanover. The Duke of Sussex, on his way to Sir W. De Cres pigny's was met at Southampton by a numerous cavalcade, with music, flags, kr., who conducted his Royal Highness to Anspach-house, the seat of the worthy Baronet, and a royal salute was fired from the platform. Deaay.—There was a public dinner at Derry on the 12th ult. The day was at once the anniversary of the birth of the King, and of the opening of the gates of the City after the memorable seige in 15:19. The Derry Journal gives the toasts on the occasion. The list includes no party senti meta—being probably the Est document of its kind, since l6tt9, that was not of an opposite cha racter. - Vie , * , The Right lion. B. Canning, and the Right lion. W. iluskisson, have been for some little lime past so journing at Seaford. Mr. Canning is still there, but we are nut certain that Mr. Huskisson has not left. —(bocre Journal.) The Duke of York was lately on a visit at Compton place, the seat of Lord George Cavendish. The dis tinguished party on one day took a ride to Headley Head, and falling in with an officer on the Blockade Station there, the Duke, among other things asked him, "if he had made many seizures," to which the Blockade Commander (but without the most distant idea that he had the honour of being addressed by the illustrious Commander iu Chief) ingenuously replied —l , not many, fur the service had of late been at tended by so many vexatious circumstances, that he now gave himself but little trouble about it," or words to the same effect. The Duke smiled, and rode on to view the dangerous promentory which has sent so many ill-fated mariners to a watery grave. Di:EL.—Friday se'nnight, a meeting took place at Rothgar Castle, mar Drblin, between a Mr. ll—n, and a generatan, who was understood to be his bro ther-in-law. Mr. ll—n was seconded by Mr- S—ls; his opponent, whose name is not known, was seconded by Mr. 51'L—u Surgeon P—t attended upon the oc casion. After exchanging a few shots, and Mr. H. wounding his antagonist, the matter in dispute was adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties. The coal and iron-masters of the south-west dis trict of Staffordshire have presented John Littleton, Esq. with an elegant silver plateau, nine feet long and two broad, which cost 500/. for his successful ex ertions in opposing the intended tax upon inland coal. A boat, with 32 tubs of contraband brandy, was seized by the Preventive Service on the Bognor sta tion, on Monday. Her crew, two men, and a col league, who, when the boat was brought to shore, ran his fist in the face of the Commanding Officer, Lieut. Boxer, R. N.; are committed to prison. The great have their luxuries; then why not the poor their comforts?—On Wednesday morning, during the rain, a waggoner was driving a team of four horses on the turnpike road with an umbrella over his head ; his p4rtner was behind him defended from the wet in the same manner. We notice this with a smile, purely on account of the novelty of the thing.—(Brightoe Herold.) letters received from Edinburgh say, that Sir Wil liam Forbes and Co., the bankers there, have given notice, that in consequence of money being so plen tiful, they can only allow 3i per cent. for deposits ; and where the sums are small, only 3 per cent. LYNN, AI:O. 30.—0 n Saturday afternuen a melan choly accident occurred in the river Ouse. a little above this town. Two lads, sailors, and three young girls, the eldest of the party not eighteen years of age, took a boat for the purpose of sailing about the harbour for pleasure. when unfortunately, the lad at the helm left it in playfullness to take some fruit out of the apron of one of the girls, the wind blowing rather fresh at the time, the boat suddenly tacked ro..nd and upset, when the three girls and one of the boys were in an instant plunged into the water and were drowned, no relief being at hand. The other lad, named Smith, being able to swim a little, recovered the side of the boat in time to witness the last strug gles of his perishing companions, and save himself. A person on the bank seeing this distressing scene, gave an alarm, and sent a boat to bring off the sur vivor. An inquest sat on the bodies at the White Swan, West Lyon, on Monday, when a verdict was returned of—Accidentally Drowned. Return of Population of the City of Chichester, IS2I, 7,362.—N. 11. The street called the Hornet, extending nearly half a mile from the East (late on the Bognor road, though properly belonging to the City, is takes is the Census of the village of Ruler bold's Whyke. Two very decent countrymen were brought up be fore Mr. Alderman Cox, on Saturday, by the Officers of Smithfield market, fur having offended against the statute which indicts a penalty upon persons riding horses in the public streets fur show, on ; but the Alderman finding that the men were wholly igno rant of the statute, and bad merely gone with their horses out of the market to avoid the crowd, con sidered their conduct not desiring such a punishment as the law directs, but recommended the complaint to be withdrawn, and directed the men to be discharged, on paying the fees and officers expences. SuocmuNu Acctnenv.—Saturday morning a serious accident occurred on the premises of Mr. Kirwan, master carman, Berner-stree , Commercial-road. The machinery of the pump having become irregular, an engineer, named John Lawrence, was employed to set it right; the unfortunate man incautiously entered the well without having ascertained whether there was any foul air in it or not, and hail not gone many steps down the ladder before he dropped off to the b •ttotn, being overcome by the noxious vapours. He was soon after taken out, but all efforts used to restore anima tion proved ineffectual. He was a clever mechanic, and lived in Lambeth-street, Whitechapel, where be has left a wife and family. 4.0 Mg 7.• • - 4.10 .."" ! ..1,1 EXECUTION. Oa Sataiday last, the following five unf.rrooate men, who were capitally convicted at the last York shire Assizes, were executed on the New Drop, behind the Castle, at York, vis.—Jamsee Lowe, aged 33, and James . Eviterseorth, aged 33, for burglary ; Johm Hemmitt, aged 31, and Williams Beech, axed 22, for highway-rubbery ; and George aged 26, fur violating the person of a young lady. he commis• lion of the crimes for which these men suffered death, was attended with great aggravation. Ever since they bad received their sentences, they were all very penitent, with the exception of Butterworth and Beerh. But when upon the drop, these two qls q joined their unfortunate associates in supplicating God to have mercy upon them. As soon as the drop fell, one man was sect, to fall upon the ground ; when there was a partial cry of "Oh ! a rope has broke!" but in a minute, every fear was re moved, and there was a shout of joy burst from the crowd, on observing the man get up, who proved to be no other person than Jack Ketch, the hangman, who bad incautiously stood on that part of tLe drop which falls, at the time he drew the bolt. 11, , unitt, who appeared to be most affected at his situation, suf fered mulch ; fur he was convulsed fur some titer atter being turned eff. He has left a wife and two chil.lreo; as also have Butterworth and Lowe. Smith his left a wife and a young child. Beech was an utimarriel man. t NORTHUMBERLAND ASSIZES. DENNAM AND WIFE, V. CLAPHAM AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, foras-e -ly a Lieut. in the army, against the Newcastle 6•14 company, for compensation for the injuries sustaine by Mu. Debnam, in consequences of the blowing u:s of Mr. Slater's house, in Forth•street, in this town, by an explosion of gas, as detailed in this paper at the time. Mrs. D. has not yet quite recovered ; her child was killed. It will be recollected that a joint of the gas pipe in the street was damaged. 'I he gas pu colated through the ground into a closet of the Itunso, and when a candle , was taken in, it exploded. The damage•, were laid at 10001. ; the Jury gave 4301. Mr. Debnatts was also slightly hurt, and a verdict of 101. damage was given by consent. SOMERSET ASSIZE.S. The Assizes for this county commenced at Britlze water on Monday last, before Sir it. Graham and Sir W. D. Best. There were 95 prisoners for trial. Ihe Learned Judge, Sir It. Graham, in his charge to the Jury, remarked on the commitment of a child, only eleven years old, because having been witness to as offence committed by another person, be had not sure• ties ready fur his appearance to give evidence at the Assizes.—(The case of John tiraddon, committed by U. Trevelyan, clerk. for want of sureties fur his ap pearance to give evidence against Henry Strong, for felony.)—The Judge stated the law on this point, and observed, that a person may be required to enter 19.0 his own reeognizances for his appearance,but he could not be called upon to produce sureties; and Trivet' the anecdote of the Italians, who all ran away from the scene of assassination, fearing they should be impri soned until the trial, in cav they were known to bp evidence of the fact. The Learned Judge also advert.kl to the case of Mary Davis and Ann Palmer, charged wit:t stealing whortle-berries, and suggested that so tri tii a case might have been otherwise disposed of. The number of commitments from Bath to Ilehester, stead of the more contiguous gaol of Shepton Hatless - was also mentioned by his Lordship, who haring con cluded an able charge, the trials soon after commenced. 42011MIT1RO TO BRISTOL 0/10L.—Joseph Higgs, for a rape on Elizabeth Bennett, John Avery, Eiiz t Thoinaa, and Mary Durham, for aiding, abetting, an .1 assisting the said Joseph Higgs.

The East India Company's chartered ship Rich mond passed Portsmouth yesterday fur the river. She is supposed to have sailed from Ceylon about the 9th or 10th of April. The first pocket of new hops sent to London, was, we understand, on Friday last, the 3lst ult. front Brenchly, in Kent, and sold for four pounds twelve shillings per cwt. The hops in Sussex, are generally of fair promise ; but it is doubted if the best of them when sent to market, will produce profit to the grower. Some, we hear, to prevent the risk of loss, from expenses, have offered their growths gratuitously, others at ss. per cwt —ln the neighbourhood of Canterbury, it scents the hop plantations are much infected with mildew ; and about Maidstone the crops are likely to be bat par• tially good. Coast Exceastaa, Ste. 3.—We had a good supply of new wheat from K i ssel this morning, but very few ar rivals from say other county, and the weather being unsettled, as well as having, very unfavourable account ► of the crops caused a brisk demand, at an advance of 6 i. per quarter on the prices of last Monday. Marley is full 2e. per quarter dearer, also Beans and Oats, but the sales were not brisk at that antentlasent.—Whitb Peas are from 2'. to 31. par quarter cheaper, having a large supply of new ones to day, from Itssex.--It is expected the price of /our will he raised to 141 s. per sack.
