Bonfires, leanings, and Ciller di roonstrations of jay, were exhibited at Rugeley, and the v ill ages adjacent.—(Staffordshire Advertiser.) among the visitors at the hospitable mansion of T. nr. Coke, Esq. enjoying the diversion of shooting, are --his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, the p o kes of Norfolk and Bedford, Marquess of Tavis- , vc k, the Earl of Albemarle, Viscount Althorp, Lords' ?went and Lynedock, the Honourable G. Annoy, Sir B. F e rguson, Colonel Keppel, and other distinguished perso nages. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sus sex was expected during this week. The Annual Dinner given by Mr. Sparkes, of the Wine Vaults, corner of Wardour-street. Oxford-street, to his friends, recently took place. The Company consisted principally ofPublicans and of Gentlemen con nected with the great breweries and distilleries of the me t r opolis. The object of this dinner has hitherto b e en merely to promote good fellowship and convi viality, but on this occasion more serious and import out topics were brought on the tapis, owing, we pre sume, ts the extraordinary circumstance of a LIEVT.• c o on. having been somehow introduced to' take the c h a ir. We understand that the gallant Lieut.-Col. travelled post from Treoisrich, expressly for the pur pose, though not a few of the company were asto nished to see Lim there, wondering what possible con aesion this a:nphibious soldier could have with the gemiemen present. The disinterested and philanthropic aotivcs of the Lieut.-Col. were, however, soon ex plained by himself. When the cloth was removed, be stated that, actuated by a strong and ardent desire that the children of the great body of the Publicans of the metropolis should receive a classical education, , was to be fitted to shine at the bar, and that their parents should be comfortably provided for in old age, be had sccron foot a plan by which these desirable ob jects might be attained at the smallest possible ex pense; and, further, that that expense would be very considerably lessened, add the whole project brought to perfection, merely by their discontinuing their pre sea evening newspaper, and taking the Lieut.-Col.'s in its stead, and also recommending their friends to do the same! ! The company seemed highly pleased with the eccentric eloquence of the Lieut.-Col., and much taken with the delightful prospect which be held out to their distant view. They separated at an early hour and in high good humour. Saturday night's Gazette contains his MAJESTY'S Order in Council, that the Parliament be prorogued from the 29th instant to the 3d of January. The Gazette contains besides a Proclamation, relative to a new issue of Farthings. They are ordered to be cur rent and received as lawful money, provided that no person shall be obliged to take more of such pieces, in my one payment, than shall be of the value of sixpence. There appears no alteration in the impression or in scription, except what relates to the distinguishing somber of his MAJESTY'S name. The Gazette contains also, a numerous list of Mltttnvy promotions and Re titemenes, chiefly resulting ffom the redectlont bow carrying on by the Commander-in-Chief. In the list of Military promotion, in Saturday's Gazette, is the son of Sir Francis Burdett, who has been promoted to a Captaincy in the 79th Regiment of Font; and among the recent naval appointments, the Portsmouth paper mentions that of Mr. " Champion" llymoke to be a midshipman of the Liffey. IN GEORGE REX'S BANXRUPTCY.•••••This Bankrupt, abo was committed to York Castle in September last, for not answering satisfactorily to the Commissioners, was again brought before them the week before last, and after a further examination, of five days, was re committed to the Castle. This Bankruptcy is likely b be a subject of serious enquiry, and has already been attended with several incidents not very common. The acting Commissioners are Meters. Shepherd, Eng- Lnd, and Foster: it miy therefore be truly said, that George Rex has been committed to prison by England, cautioned by two of our great Law Authorities. viz. Shepherd's Thuchstone, and Foster's Crown Law. PRINCE EUGENIC BEAUIIARNOIS.A letter from Paris gives the following account of a recent visit of ' this personage to the French metropolis : .

CARLOW, Nov. 15.—As a proof that the lower orders of the people are not so much disposed to resist the laws as some persons may imagine, we think it not amiss to state the following fact, which occurred within our own observation, not long since :—A few days previous to that Meeting of the Magistrates, which induced Government to send a Police to the Barony of Rathvilly, two tithe process-servers were attacked in the middle of the day, and severely beaten ; they were also warned not to come any more upon such expeditions. In this state of affairs a Magistrate determined to go, himself, to the lands, and with a party of the military, took the process-servers under his protection. On arriving at the borders of the disaffected parish, the party was halted, and the Magistrate proceeded, with the constables, to some of the farmer's houses, where he explained the nature of the business on which they came, and proclaimed, in the hearing of several persons who had assembled on the occasion, " that they should have every justice done them, on the several trials, with liberty of ap pealing to the General Quarter Sessions, if they should feel dissatisfied with the decision." As soon as this declaration was made, one of the ring-leaders of the opposition took the process-servers by the hands, and having conducted them to the houses of the defendants stood by while they were served, and then brought the men back in safety to the Magistrate ! This fact speaks a volume; and me do think, that if the people were once convinced that they had nothing to fear from the mal-administration of the law, they would submit more cheerfully to its decisions At all events, a conciliatory conduct, and personal exertion of the country Gentlemen, are worth the trial :—an impar tial report of the alleged causes of discontent might, perhaps, open the best channels for the removal of them ; and a residence of the landlords woul.l, we doubt not, tend to tranquillise the minds of their te nantry more than any other means which could be suggested.—(Carlow Morning Post,) On Tuesday last the grand division of that highly distinguished corps, the 2d battalion of the rifle bri gade marched through this town. Fermoy is its pre sent destination, as is supposed ; however, from the disturbed state of the county of Cork, they will pro ceed to Mallow, that being a more central point. It evinces a strong determination on the part of Govern ment to take the most decisive steps for the restoration of tranquillity ; from the nature of their service, we know not a regiment mere capable of seconding their efforts, than this now about to be employed, as their appearance in the county Galway, during the ribbon System, tended much to induce the peasantry to return to their accustomed occupations, as well as to relieve the fears of the resident gentry in that county.—(ldeas.) LIMCRICK, Nov. 13.—The house of Mr. John Grady, of Doringstown, was again attacked on Son.' day night last, by an armed body of men, who, we are sorry to say, succeeded in depriving him of his arms. They threatened to burn his house if he did not give diem up. A few nights since, about eight o'clock, a party of armed men entered the house of Robert Hewson, Esq. at Goughal, in this county, and plundered it of every portable ankle—they iireaCks'irbil'lt Welt dettbeealety. having placed sentinels on the &or of each of his workmen's houses, until they effected their purpose.— they then fired a shot, and went off. It was rather unfortunate that Mr. Hewson was from home, or they would have got a warm reception. Between the hours of two and three o'clock last night, upwards of a hundred of those deluded ma rauders came to the Toll-house at Groody Turnpike. and requested to have the gate opened, and when the keeper got up to perform it, they rushed into his house, and took his blunderbuss, and wanted to get more fire-arms, and when be assured them he had not any more,. they diligently searched the house, and finding none, they went off in the direction of New castle.—(Libneriek Telegraph.) Tun YEOMANRY.—The Government have resolved to avail themselves of the services of the Yeomanry in the North of Ireland, and have intimated their wishes upon the subject, through the different brigade Majors. On Tuesday last a communication to this effect was made to Colonel Blacker's battalion of Yeomanry, in the county of Armagh ; it was received with three cheers, sad an unanimous determination to extend their services to any part of the kintdom. This fine body of men are between three and four hundred strew,. and hare long been distinguished for appearance, discipline anti general efficiency. The intention of Government . is. to employ the Yeomanry in garrison duty , and by this means be enabled to bring a greater number of the regular troops to act in the iitturbed fPatriot.) An action for breach of proper of marriage, is which Miss Margaret Adams, of Ki'fines, was plain liff.asd the Rev. Mr. Coseos, defendast, was disposed of on Saturday, in the County Court House, judgment ; laving pee by default, and a writ issued to the She riff to assess damages. The Jury, after heating evi des*, returned a verdict of 2251. with 6d.. costs. The damages were laid lithe pleadings at 10001.— , (Cork Chronicle.)

We copy the following from the Edinburgh papers received to day : " TO VII ZDITC1111: &e. " Stft—Lest any impression should be created by a paragragh which was yesterday pointed out to me in one of the newspapers, stating that Mr. James Gibson, W. S. has raised a summons of damages against me, on account of certain passages in the Beacon, I request you to wake known, by publishing this letter, that the asser tions concerning me, on which that summons is found ed. are altogether erroneous. It may he proper to a,1,1, that Mr. Gibson was warned of this by me the day after 1 received his summons. " 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, "6 Dot SiLAS CIICAPE. " 38, Queen-street, Nov. 14, 1621." The following is a copy of the letter addressed by Mr. Cheape to Mr. Gibson, and alluded to in the above : " 3S, Queen-street, 27th Oct. IS2I. " Six—l last night was served with a Summons of Damages, at your instance, on account of certain pas sages therein quoted from the Beacon. From the course You have taken in this matter, 1 am not called on to mike any extra-judicial statement as to the assertions on which your snmmons (ia so far as it concerns me), is founded; but I deem it proper to waive this consideration, with the view both of securing. the expenses of process in my favour, and of strenghen ing any action which I may be advised to institute against you, should you persist in the proceedings which you have commenced against me. " I therefore now inform von, that I am not the ' Au thor' of any of the passages quoted in your Summons; and that at the time irhcn they app , are'd i e the Beacon, I was not a' Proprietor,' Editor,' • Conductor,' Re visor,' or Publisher,' of that work. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " Doc(it.As CHEAPE. " Addressed to James Gibson, Esq. W. S." There is now living in Annan a stone-entter and painter, in his 57th year, possessing a steady hand and intelligent mind, good health and a large family, although within the last 36 years he has drank, on a moderate computation, no less than two thousand five hundred gallons of whiskey. A few days ago, at the baptism of a child near Annan, who was a twin (the other having died), there met on the occasion Live gossips who had All recently been delivered of twins, and what is equally extra ordinary, two of the said gossips were themselves twins. Last Sunday week were published in the parish church of Woolstanton, the banns of matrimony of four paupers in the poor-house, viz. Richard Brown sword, aged 74, to Sarah Gater, aged 24, and John Clews, a blind man, to Ellen Ilvath, rather iasetne, and under the care of the Governor of the said poor-house. —(Staffordshire Advertiser.) We would advise the public to avoid the promised issue of local notes, as they would the dangerous iseak: of the Mersey. IVe should not have deemed Ibis caution necessary, had not some 11. notes, pay able in London only, been sent to us from Yorkshire to inquire as to their validity, in which county, it Bp ', pears, they have obtained a partial circulation.—(Bil- Sage's Liverpool Advertiser.) Tug CARLlLES.—Notwithstanding the recent tarry eenteseems Mary Ann Carlik, another female member of the same family has already taken posses. sion of the " Temple of Reason," and as the sale of the same works is continued, must, of course, shortly fall a victim to the law. Mary Ann Carlile was, on Saturday night, sent off. In custody, from the ng's Bench, to Dorchester Gaol, to undergo her se once. Yesterday. the Rev. • Mr. Cotton, the Ordinary of Newgate, preached what is called a Condemned Ser mon, to seven out of the eight of the unhappy men who are ordered for execution. Cubelia, who is of the Jew ish persuasion, did not attend the service, it being in• consistent with his creed ; but he was attended in his cell by a Jewish Priest. The chapel was crowded to excess, and the audience appeared greatly affected. We have heard that great interest is making for. Cad man, who, up to the time of uttering the note, (through extreme distress) for which he is to suffer, had a most excellent character, and is of very respectable connee dons. He is also a young man of considerable ability. He produced, at Sadler's Wells Theatre, a translation of the French piece, entitled " The Family of d'An glade," and a still more successful piece, called " The Father' Cane." For some before the unhappy circum stances which led to his conviction, he was employed in the house, and much respected by his acquaintance. His wife, who was also convicted with him of the same offeace, visited him yesterday, and the interview was of the most affecting nature. CADS or Carossas.—(lEtber particulars from a correspondent of a morning piper.)—The case of Cad- man is not that of the hardened, practised, criminal.: He is yet a very young man ; and it appears from cog . dilates we have seen, that his conduct has always beet prilseworthy, from an early period up to very near the 'present time. He bas served seven years in the Royal Iliarinekand received a severe wound in the engage ment at New Orleans. He was employed as Clerk to the Adjutant, and gained the confidence and esteem of his officers, as they have testified by certificates which Wee been forwarded to the Secretary of State. Since hlsquitting the army, up to February last, be was in lett Am of a Solicitor in Clerkenwell, where be was ifunsarkable for his industrst and punctual habits. He ted this situation in consequenceof promises which eire made to him of a better situation, but which wigs not performed. Want of employment plunged him lain distress, which was heightened by his wife failing dangerously ill. lie was without the means of procetriag her the necessaries of life, when tempo rary relieves offered him by passing forged notes, which aceffe.ebop keeper in Drury-lane furnished bits yid'.

FIRE IX ILCHESTER GAOL. We copy the following from aroth-r mitre:— " helmets., Nor. 15. • " Blesses, Bridle, llux:on, and Baring's undeserve.'lv eulogised factory of els;s hostile, is now a heap of ruh bish—it was burnt to the ground last night. " You will recollect tha• the Magistrates ordered a bell to he put up for niv are. , mmodation, that I might call some one to my assistance in case of ail iarut illness, in the night time. IVithout being at alt con . - suited on the subject, 1 learn that tie workmen were employed in moving this bell, which was to he com pleted yesterday. This appearing to me extremely mysterious, I wrote a letter early in the warning, and despatched it to ore of the visiting Magistrates, ear nestly requesting that the hell might remain at least till I had an opportunity of seeing them upon the sub ject. To this letter I received no answer : hut to a similar application whiclt I made to Mr. Hardy, our new gaoler, requesting that it might remain till I bad received an answer from the Magistrates, he very rea dily complied with it, and the hell remained. I was locked up at five as etual ; about nine, as I was sit ting writing, I heard some tiles fall from the roof into the yard. Soon after, I heard the same noise, which being repeated, I listened more attentively, and it appeared to me that some persons were uncovering the roof of my apartment, the only way which any oue could gain access to me, since] had the bolts restored to the in side of my door. Bridle having been discharged, and turned out of the gaol on Saturday last, my ;weapon of defence, the carving knife, had not been placed on the table as usual, therefore I sallied up stairs with the red hot poker in my band, determined to make all the resistance to the supposed intruders possible. By this time the noise had so increased, that it appeared as if the whole roof hail nearly fallen. But before I reached my bed-room, I found, by the smoke and smell, that something was on fire. On entering the bed-room, the flames and smoke were passing the win dow. I rang the bell, but no one answered it ; the flames increased ; I ran again, or rather pulled the rope, but not knowing whether the bell rang or not, was preparing to endeavour to make - my escape from the devouring element hy attempting a passage through my three feet thick wall, when one of the turnkeys unlocked the dom.. Half smothered with smoke, and having secured sonic of my valuables, I rushed ou', and discorered the facto' y was on fire, which was rag ing most violently within ten feet of my apartment, the flames aotually blazing against its walls and roof, which being saturated with wet. resisted the destruc tive violence of the devouring element. I have often said to many persons that there would be an attempt some day to burn me in my cage, and it is a most ex traordinary coincidence that the only occasion I have had to ring the bell in the night since I have been here, should have happened on that very night after which the bell was to have been removed during the day previous. It is not for me to say that the fire was not accidental. I say it is a most extraordinary thing that my bell was to have been removed on Thursday. and that on Thursday night a fire should break out within three yards of my bed-room, and that the very first and only occasion I have had to ring my bell in the night since I have been here, was on the very first night after it was to have been removed unknown to tae. "Mr. Hardy conducted himself with great firmness and humanity, all the primmer, having been taken out of their cells and placed in the day-rooms, ready to have been removed, if necessary. The women over whose wards the flames passed, mere uttering the most piteous screams to be released from their apparent pe rilous situation, and Mr. Hardy humanely had them removed to his own house. Twenty-five of the tin►e men were called to the assistance of the officers, who exerted themselves in suck a laudable manner as I trust will call forth the consideration of Government. Incautiously, a great number of the populace of ll chester (many of whom are always in a state of in toxication) were admitted; and the officiousness of one or two of Bridle's old' cronies, would, I believe, have caused the destruction of the whole village of Nortbover, bad it not been fortunately so completely soked with the rain the day previous. The only per von that I have heard of being refused admission, was ; the person who waits upon me occasionally. " Your's, " 11. Ilura." MARKETS.
