'O, VI rag anB try The King was expected to arrive yesterday at Dun. kirk, on his way from Hanover to England. His Ma jesty was to be wet there by Sir Charles Stuart, our A m bassador at she Court of France, and other distin gsished characters. We hare sonie doubts whether this arrangement might not have been made previous to the alteration of the time for the King's departure foul Hanover. Oa Friday Viscount Sidmoutb and Viscount Mel .itie received despatches from the Marquess of London derry, deed from Hanover.—(Court Circular.) Private lette-s from Madrid mention that a sub scription bad been opened for the relief of the suffer ers by the contagion in Barcelona, to which numbers el distinguished individuals had contributed, and it was expected a handsome sum would be raised. These letters also notice the quiet and unshackled manner in so ch the Electors had been chosen in all the parishes of the Spanish capital, mmd the choice of the persons elected was its general considered very judicious. Charles Felix, the new King of Sardinia, has ap pointed the Chevalier Roget de Caulex to be first Secretary of State for the Interior. The Marquess de lirignole hus been confirmed in his situation of Mici‘ter of Finance. His Majesty has also caused s long proclamation to be issued for the suppress ing of all secret and illicit Societies, under various pessities. According to advice, from Saute, dated the lit of October, the Oreek fleet, after, having revictnalled in Me islands of the Archipelago, bad appeared before' the ports of Patrass and Corsa, in which the Turkish fleet WAS at anchor. There are letters, however, in n from %ante, which are three days later, and as they make no mention of the appearance of the Greeks, we must conclude that the account is not true. Another Prelate has paid in France the debt of na ture. It is the Bishop of Evreux, uho died on the ult , at the advanced age of 91.

'We beg the reader's close attention to the fol lowing letter from Londonderry • • EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LONDONDF.RRY. " On the morning of the 22d September, Sir 0. Hill having arrived at his residence, Brook-hall, near losrm donderry. the Yeomanry and Rifle Corps, of which be is Commandant, marched out to pay their respects to him, accompanied by music, playing all manner of party tunes, and decorated with Orange insignia. On their return, in the evening, to the City, they rushed through the streets, brandishing their swords, and calling out for the face of a Panist, exclaiming, that they wished to cut his guts out.' The quiet and peaceable part of the people fled at their approach, and the Orangemen continued their outrageous conduct until '2 o'clock in the morning. " The Catholics of the City, wishing, as far as in them lay, to carry into effect the gracious intentions of their King, determined to call a Meeting, and place the matter under the eye of Government, and according ly on Sunday the 30th of September last, a Meeting of the Catholica of Derry took place in the Chapel, when it was determined to forward a memorial to Government, expressive of their gratitude to the. King for his graci ous benevolence and kindness, and setting forth the re cent conduct of the Orangemen of this City, and praying that measures might be adopted to spare the Catholic Inhabitants a repetition of scenes so ill calculated to further the heneficient intentions of the Monarch, and offering at the same time to substantiate the facts con-' tained in their memorial by evidence. " It was stated on Tuesday, the 23i10f Oct. though not officially communicated - to the Catholics, that the matter was to be inquired into by the Brigade Major of the District, T. Palmer, Esq. at the inspection which was to take place that day. " The Yeomanrv, as usual, proceeded to the inspec tion er mnd, playing all kinds of party tunes, and though the cireutustance was noticed to Sir G. Bill, they did not desist. "Time investigation was entered upon on the 24th, the proceedings are now before Governmeut, and we are all anxiously waiting the result." We hope and trust that Government will not allow this matter to rest. iVe shall only add. that if Sir George Hill felt, as he ought to do, the admonition and injunction contained in his Majesty's letter, he could prevent this insulting and seditious display. A word to the subalterns, a hint to the band, would have been sufficient. And yet Sir George Hill bolds a place under the Crown of 20,000/. a-year ! From the in stances of Lord Fitzwilliam, Lord Fife, Sir Robert Baker, and Sir R•mbert Wilson, we know what would 'be the conseqnence to him, if lie held a place of profit or honour in England. But it is the fashion now in Ireland to despise the King's well-known and strongly expressed feelings with impunity.--(Dablin Even. Poet.) Being liable, in common with other Editors, not withstanding our utmost precaution, to be imposed upon by erroneous and mischievous communications, we are happy to have authority to contradict the paragraph which appeared in our paper of the 19th ult. purporting to be an extract of a letter dated Market Hill, county Armagh, relative to a " melan choly accident," stated to have occurred there. We are assured that the statement, from beginning to end, is a gross fabrication. At a Sessions of the Peace under the Road Art, boteltito-115th Oct. at Clonmel, the several persons appointed to take the Census of the Collet'', delivered in their accounts of the population of each Barony. — They were as follows, viz. :•••• ClRllWilliftM, 41,663; Lower Ormond, 37.271; Middle third, 36,570; lira end Offs, East, 36,187; Eliogarty, 30,170; IR. and Offs Wect, 35,698: Kilnentanagh, 28,959; Sliveardagli, 28,451 Ikerrin, 23.926; Owney and Area. 23,970; Upper Ormond, 23,029. —Total Population, 363,40•3.

DumPRIES.—We may record, as a curious proof of the ungenial weather that prevailed more or less during the past season, the general emptiness of our bee-hives, except such as were placed in moorland dis tricts, where the bees are allowed an unlimited range of the finest heather. In the Parish of Borgue, in Galloway, (a parish so much celebrated for the supe rior purity and beauty of its honey, that the article uniformly commands a higher price in the market), the different insect monarchies, so far from furnishing , the usual supply of this valuable luxury, have scarce. ly been able to manufacture a sufficiency of comb foe their own subsistence during the long and gloomy reign of a northern winter. To use the words of a Galloway friend, " many small farmers who last year had twenty pints of honey, have this year scarcely a chopin"—an evil which will not only be felt by the victims of colds, sore throats, be.; but which will also tell against the careful housewife and her bloomiag daughters, who frequently include among their per. quisites the produce of the hives, and who for every deficient pint sr two will probably be disappointed of a new gown. But let no one ascribe this lack•of sweets to the idleness of the bee. Hooey, like hay, can only be made wile the sun shines ; and if the skies refuse to smile, and the flowers to give out fra grance, it was in vain that the great insect artist an grily boomed from garden to garden, pushing its deli cate proboscis into petals as sapless as the wreath on a lady's bonnet. Even during the long droughts of June and July, the weather was rather scorching than genial, and every Florist complained that his carna.l tions, pinks, anemonies, and ranunculas, sot to speak of common flowers, scarcely exhibited a tithe of their wonted beauty. MILLANCHOLT ACClDlNT.—Wednesday evening. about l seven o'clock, as a man named W. Murphy, from the Great Island, Co. Wexford, was going on board the' brig Lord Nelson, of Milford, lying below the market-J house, for the purpose of getting into the boat in which' he had come to town with corn, he fell into the river from the stage and was nnfortimately drowned, One of his companions, in his endeavours to save the poor man, and two other persons, attracted by cariosity to the spot, also fell in, and were near sharing his fate. The melancholy occurrence is attributed, by somoof the spec tators, to the inner plank of the stage having hips most unwarrantably drawn partly on board the vesiel—tbus leaving large space between the two planks. which, in the darkness of the night, Is impossiblo for a person going from the snag to perceire.--The unfor tunate man has left a wtdow, in an advanced state of pregnancy, to lament his untimely fatal—(Mider/ea Chronicle.)

It is impossible • for us adequately to convey by words the delight we feel, in making the following communication public. From what we have already saisl—from the state of feverish anxiety into which, for the last week, the City of Dublin has been thrown, by the avowed intention• of decorating the Statue of King William. in College-green, our Readers in the luterior may have some idea of the feelings and appre hensions of the Citizens of Dublin. Thank God! these feelings have been tranquillized—these appre hensions have been removed. The letter of the Lord Mayor, and the Resolutions unanimously passed by the Board of Aldermen, have done more, and will do more, to corroborate and confirm those sentiments of cordiality recommended by the King, than any circumstances which has occurred since his Majesty's departure. It is the first overt act—it is the first proof the public have Lad of their sincerity.

Love AND MA uness.—An inquisition was taken yesterday before Joho Wright Unwin, Esq. at the Grove Morris, Whitechapel-road, on the body of Ann Moore, aged 45, whose death was caused by her hav ing drank a quantity of laudanum. The deceased was a spinster residing in New Court, Thomas•street, Whitechapel, and some time back received the ad dresses of a Mr. H. residing in the neighbourhood, of whom she became warmly enamoured, until she dis covered that he bad a wife and family. From that time, however, she was reusarked to be in a despond ing state ; and on Friday night complained of indis position, which encreased to an alarming degree, until Saturday forenoon, when death put an end to her mi- series. A surgeon who attended her was of opioion, that her death was canoed by her having drank a large quantity of laudanum ; she was not observed to drink the fatal dose, nor could it be accounted how she came by it. After her decease a letter was found in her pocket, which it was conjectured she had written on the day previous to her melancholy dissolution, and from Which we disseminate the following abstract : " Dear Mr. IL—My mind has never been settled since I first because acquainted with you; and now requestyou will pay the last tribute of respect by attending the mor tal remains to its mother earth of her who now perishes for your sake, and once considered herself dear to you.

The Coroner briefly recapitulated the evidence ; and the Jury, after some little deliberation, returned a ver- 1 diet "That the deceased put a period to her existence by drinking a quantity of laudanum, being at that time in a state of temporary mental derangement. Sunday morning, the store in which the flour in Brixton House of Correction is deposited, was, for the second time, robbed by some of the incorrigible thieves who have been removed thither from the public streets. One of the turnkeys found that two or three bushels had been taken out of a sack, and immediately made inquiry amongst some of the most notorious m I I char ten upon the subject. They all determined not to " split," and declared upon their honour they knew I nothing at all about it. The managers of the prison, however, were resolved to help the recollection of this worthy association, and accordingly took all the Wei from under them, with an assurance that the harol boards were the best remedy is the world for loss of memory upon such an occasion. The experiment proved that the ntawagen knew with whom they had to deal. The thieves at first became noisy, in the hope that by terrifying the whole neighbourhood. they would oblige those who exercised such power over them, to remit their punishment. When, how ever, they found that no bed was to be had without a breoek of kusuor, they yielded to the call of nature, and betrayed those who stole %Wont.

The decoration of the statue of King William 111. yesterday, in 'St. James's-square, and the mode in which it is said to have been effected, bring to ovr re- . collection a scheme of a different kind which, we w hate . heard, was once intended to have been applied t . l the statue of King Charles I. at Charing-Cross. It nit at a period when those courtly doctrines of passive dience and non-resistance which had been so stron4lo urged in the reign and so grievously reversed in Vie fate of that misguided King, were attempted to be . in- culcated upon the Colonists of North America, who had commenced their opposition to the measures of Parli. - meat in taxing them without their consent. John Horne Tuoke was then confined in the King's Eencb Priso.i, under sentence for the publication of his celebrated libel, which termed the deaths uccasiuned the firing of the King's troops upon the people of Boston, murder. The 29:h of January happening to occur during his confinement, and a poor d, blur, bring that day about to be discharged, wham ilorne Tooke deemed proper for his purpose, H. T. procured a rope ladder, a saw, and a mallet, in a basket, and offered the . man half a-guinea prompt, and as much more iu rever sion, if le would apply the tools in the manner' he should direct. "Take the articles," said Horne Tooke, "in the basket, at a convenient hour to night, to Charing-cross, throw the rope ladder over tbe Stat ute of Charles, mount behind the King, apply the saw to the folder, which, you will find by your fingers, unites the Monarch's bead to his shoulders, and give his pate a knock with the mallet, which will loosen it from the iron spike on which it rests, and enable you to lift it off. Come to ins when you find it convenient, and I will give you the remainder of your reward." Horne Tooke, as we were informed by a gentleman who heard him relate the anecdote, waited impatiently next fore noon for the arrival of some visitor from whom he might learn the result of his plot. One friend called ; but he brought no such news as was expected. That was not surprising, as he had come from the city, directly over London Bridge. Another came, and he had neither seen nor heard any thing interesting :--but his ignorance too was easily accounted for, as lie had come from Bloomsbury, over Blackfriars-bridge. It was not till the afternoon that the pound of Horne Tooke's expectations was removed. A friend then came to dine with him who bad passed over Westminster-bridge by Charing-cross, and had witnessed nothing either new or extraordinary.—llorne Tooke, though piqued, kept his secret from his friend ; but his man kept his tools and his money.

A gentleman stept into the shop of Mr. Fio&eyrie, in Dumblane. on Thursday week, and had but just placed his back against the counter, when, to his as tonishment, a partridge started from behind, and winged its way towards the market cross -- tlr. immediately recollected that he had n short time before, whilst in a back apartment, bra r 1 a rustling noise in the shop, but on going there dis covered nothing. The appearance of the partridge, however, accounted for the circumstance; from which it is pretty evident that the poor animal had been pur sued by a hawk, and that, preferring to trust itself to the mercy of man than its own feathered tribe, it had taken refuge behind the counter. SPARRING.—Turner had a benefit yesterday at the Tennis-Court, which was well attended. The sets-to were numerous, but that between Randal and Turner was far foremost in science.
