RSTUaN OF WARM WIATHICK.—The Mercury in a titer motnenr, exposed to the sun is the Strand, between one and two o'clock to-day, stood at 103 degrees. Faitzmasonar.— I n consequence of the late Art of Parlia ment resenting secret meetings id Ireland, the Arttient and Honourable Society of Free and Accepted Masons of Ireland have been placed in a dilemma. Considering that the strictness of Masonic Secrecy foi bids the members of their Order from giving publicity to any of their Usages, and consequently that, under the New Act. their members might possibly, if they continued to meet, be placed in the disagreeable alternative of either appearing contumacious to the Magistracy on the one hand, or guilty of a breach of Masonic duty on the other, the Oland Lodge, under the sanction, and with the consent and approbstion of his lirace the Duke of Leinster, (band Master of Masons in lreLnd, duly considering the peculiar situation in which the Order is placed,orders and directs, that alter the expi ration of 14 days from the passing the said Act, that is to say, after theist day of August, ISI3, all Lodges and As semblies of Freemasons in Ireland shall cease to meet as Freemasons, until again celled together by the authority of the Grand Master, whenever the Legislature IO its evis• dom may think it expedient to repeal said Act, or so to modify the same, as that the Meeting of the Institution in helmd may be placed ender similar cucninstances as those of the Freemssons of England, . An immense meteor passed over the Oct ills, from south to oordh, on Wednesday morning about one o'rloi k. It surpassed to brilliancy the nootoditey sun, and appeared to dissipate in a long train of electric fire.—(tdiebargh Star.) A NOVELTY IN THIS NEIGABOUROOOO.---011 Friday list, two private stills which had been used for the distillation of spirits, were seized in an old, lonely farm honer, a few miles east of this town, together with the apparatus and about sixty gallons of wash. The penalties under the Art of Parliament in such cases are, the forfeittire of the stills, the spirits ; wash, and other meter. ale for distillation; and the proprietor of such stills, or the permit in whose outside 110 sante shall be found, is liable to a penalty of 200/ for every place in 'which such stills shall he discovered, mid also for evert still and vessel found therein. And tarties defected in aiding and aasisting in such ille gal practices, are liable to a forfeiture of 301. or to be imprisoned six months, if the fine, in the mean time, should not be paid. Four Scotchmen charged with the last-men tioned offence, were on the same day, brought to this town, under a military escort, and underwent an examination be fore T. Partington. Esq.; but on hearing the matter it did not appear to the Magi•trate that the charge of their being fond aiding and assisting wis tuffieiently established against them, and they were, consequently discharged.— , (Sums Advertiser.)

It is with the most cordial satisfaction that we annotinee that a Public Meeting has at length been resolved upon. for the purpose offwanoting the independence of Spain. The meeting will talipl''lace on Wednesday next, at o'clock at noon, in the new rp r tions and splendid Pantheon Room, in Church Street, which has been most spiritedly offered , gratuitously for the purpose. Had not this measure been resolved upon, it was our intention to solicit individual subscriptions in this pious cense. We have already re ceived 331. Is. in behalf of the, Fund, from several indi viduals, whose na:nes we shall for the present withhold, as we shall hand over the amount to the Treasurer who may he appointed at the ensuing General Meeting.— (hitierpool Mercury) Carlile has inserted an invitation in the IDorietsliire papers to the Clergenen of the county, stating' that be will he " most happy and th4nkfnl to receive instructions from any of them who will condescend to visit and impart know ledge to him whilst he remains in prison!" We understand. from good authority, that at the anneal eon , ferenee of Wesleyan Ministers, which commenced at Sheffield, on the 30th ult.. the Rev. Jabez Bunting proposed a motion, " That all the congregations ill the kingdom should be obliged to use the church liturgy in their chapels." This motion was rejected by a majority of 70.—(Maarkestcr Gmardiax.) An American paper mentions, as a " Revolutionary lb tniniscence," that in July, 1776, the Declaration of Inde pendence was first read in IVoreester, by Isaiah Thomas, Esq. now, we believe, ihe oldest printer living in the Unit• cd States. It was read from the roof of the porch of the ►leeting-Louse, and received with loud cheers and congra• tutations. The erten harvest has commenced in this neighhouhood, a fi e f,' of wheat was rot on Tuesday, in the parish of St. Thomas. We hear, with pleasnre, from different part■ of the county, that the crops have suffered hut little injuts/ from the late rains, and that th. re is every prospect of an abundant harvest, should the weather prove favourable for getting it in,—(g.refer Papa.) I:OOSRBERRIE6 —Several examples hate hren given in the newspapers of ibis City, of the grest size of this fruit, but none, we undersfand, have exceeded the following : Six were gathereslfrom the trees of a gentleman well known to possess an excellent garden, at Bedminster, which weighed 54 onnces ; one weighed rather more than 1 ounce. --(Bristol iferestry.) The upper part of the prem!ses of Mr. Gilling, Upper Charles Street, Goss-ell Street !toad, was on Saturday night, about ten o'clock, discovered to he In flames. In one of-the rooms to which the flames had extended before the alarm was given, there lay an infant child asleep, and who, we regret to state, before she weld bereleased, was an dreadfully scoratil that she has since ditd. The wan sho ventured into the room to rescue the child from its perilous situation ass also much scorched. The fire wls got under ahont eleven o'clock, without its extending itself beyond the house where it commenced. The loss of property is not considerable. ------------- Our readers will recollect, tbit• In our paper of the 9th June last, we inserted an accoarti (copied from a Bath paper) of a most horrible outrage committed by a moo servant in the employ of Mr. Middleton, at Weston, near Bath, which, if true, would have been as therein stated, '• an instance of savage and indecent barbarity rcarcsly paralleled in the annals of crime." The man servant had been charged by Mr. Middleton's daughter, Mary, with having carried her from the garden to the coach-house, and pulled her up a ladder into the loft, that lie there effected hi. diahnlical purpose; that being alarmed he jumped from the loft into the coach-hods, a depth of nine feet, and dragged her with him ; that ht then threw her headlong into a privy, jumped down and dragged her to a wood pile, where be left her in a senseless state, and where she was discovered by her father. This statement being sworn to by Mary Middleton before t• o Magistrates, the man servant was folly committed to Shepton Mallet gaol for trial; but it fortunately happened for the prisoner,that some persons did not place implicit confidence in this unparalleled account, and, on enquiry, had strong reasons for ssispecting the ma terial part of it to be a wicked labiicatioo ; a subscription was immediately set on foot for defending the prisoner; and a sufficient sum collected to pay Counsel's fees and the ex per-es of witnesses at Bridgewater Assizes. This appears to have hail the deiired effect ; and, in consequence of cer• tain discoveries subsequently made, the prosecutor did not prefer any bill of indictment upon the charges far which the prisoner was committed; he, howev-e s preferred three several bills for assaults, all of which were ignorinl by the tlrand Jury. Thus has the prisoner (who was pennyless) by the kind assistance of friends, escaped an ignominious death which would inevitably have awaited him, had the shocking account above alluded to, been persisted in and proved at the trial. (Brined Aleretery.) A TLISSURT.-A person of this town, having quarrelled with his brother, had recourse to the folluning mode of re sentsnent. He retired to Iris bed•rotmn on Thursday even ing, where lie continued the whole of the next day. His famili, on Saturday, became alarmed, and being prevented by a strong lock from entering his room at the dime, they gained admission at the window, when they found him ly ing iu bed. They tried to prevail oa him to take food of some kind, bat he was inflexible; it was in vain that on Sunday they spread a table in his room with a pudding and a piece of roast beef. On Monday, however, hunger overcame his obstinacy laud because down stairs, and again satisfied his appetite; having shown his resentment by fast• ing three days and four nights. On Saturday evening, nest Hyde Park Corner, S. Sut ton, Esq. of Colney Hatch, having got out of his gig, to speak to Henry Williams, Esq. of (fray's Inn. who was driving the contrary way, Mr. S.'s horse, a very beautiful high spirited animal, being startled by a Coed' passing, ran with great speed towards Hyde Park Corner. —On its arrival at the Turnpike one of the wheels came in contact with the post with tremendous vio lence, which not only had the effect df impeding the pro gress of the affrighted animal, but the jerk caused it to rear, and it fell with such violence on its head that it was killed upon the spot : the chaise nes completely de stroyed.

Miss CHESTER is a star of the first Magnitude in her sphere. We must excuse a little want of command of countenance in the presence of Mr. Lis ' ton, though we very much wish it could be avoided ; but this gentleman is very arbitrary in this point; for while he bolds the most despotic control over his own features, he will suffer no one else to exercise authority over a single muscie. Mrs. Smith was the second pine, i.e which Mrs. CHATTEELV, Miss BOYCE, Mr. LISTON tad Mr. VINING shone with their usual lustre. We have nothing to complain of in those two pieces, but that their repetition robs our ci ical laborsof all novelty. 'The Review, not barium been performed here these two years, was last night brought forward to display-Mr. HAELIteII volubility, vola tility. and versatiiits In. Web Quota*. We may safely say that no one can eclipse him in this character, asil that very few can shine against the lustre of his performance. Mr. Lice played the part . of Looney Alaetscoltervery respectably. Mrs. Hunts is much too matronly for Grare Gayloce. Miss 'WYE played the part of Niche Wlsitethorn fur the first time. She sung sod looked the part very well, except t the rather unsightly stoop which she has acquired, and lehieh is very observable in her male attire. ft must be observed, that this part does not come within the range of oar objections to ladies in man's apparel, as here it must be played by a lady, and if any one is to be blam.d, it must be the author. Mr. TarLguais did not show oft' luite ao well as be might have done, with his abilities, in Joke Lump, for want of a little more attention. - - - - - SURREY TIIIISATRI.* This theatre opened last night for 1 the winter season under circumstances of some promise.— Among the additions to the corps d'woatique we noticed Miss Kiushell, a beautiful girl (a pnpil of Mr. liengough's), Mrs. W. Barcvmore, Mr 4. Fitzwilliam, Mr. H. Keinble. Mr. Gallot, Mr. Loveday, Mr. IPitzwayle . t. &c. In two of the pieces chosen for representation 14st night, very little' scope was siren to the talents of the company.— The first was the story of the two eons of (Fclipus, crammed into a nielodrame of three dull acts. The plot is too grave and too Grecisn by half for anch a theatre. as this. It wa4, however, got up in a splen did style, with scenery. &ease., ard deeoration's not un worthy of our winter theatres, at this side the Thames. Mrs. W. Itarrymore in the second piece, Winning a Hus band, performed seven or eight different characters with much versatility of manners, and was loudly applauded The house was crowded, and the heat excessive—an incon venience which it will he the interest of the new proprietors to remedy by proper attention to ventilation. The arrange. insists of Koran; r;the hax-keeper, were judicious, and con. tributed materially to the general comfort and accousulo dation of the audience. Mr. William M.Cready finished his enstagement et the Theatre Royal here, on Tuesday evening last, when he per formed Dawns, in the serious play of [Mason and Pythias. Mr. Abide supported him v«ry ably in Pythias; and Mrs. *Gibbon in Calanthe. Mr. M'Creasly afterwards per formed De(dual, in the firc,, of Matrimony, with ~„•uch humour. It was his benefit, and the house was well ailed. —(Newcastle Courant ) Earl Fitzwilliam arrived at ids seat, Slalton, Comity of Wicklow, on Saturday last; and we have the greatest satis. faction in stating that he received in the most gradual manner the applications of such of his tenantry as waited on him. We are gratified to learn that the Noble Earl appeared in excellent [smith and spirits.—(Duldia Evexiag Purr.) Lord Montague and Lord Douglas arrived last week at Dalkeith Palace, where the young Duke of tdoecleugh is also daily expected. Preparations, we are informed, are al ready began at the house for the reception •of his Royal Highness the Doke of York and his Grace the Duke of Wellington.—(Edinforrgli Star ) THE Duke of ICENT.—HisAllatjesty having been gracionsly pleased, through the Commissioners of Woods, Forests. and Land Revenue, to give his Royal permission for the erection of the Monumental Statue of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent in Perk Crescent, at the top of Portland place; it is understood, that the Trustees and Committee of Management have every hope of completing their labours by the ensuing Anniversary of the late Prince's birth-day, the 21 of November next. The statue in bronze, is already entirely finished, and does high honour to the artist; and the pedestal of Haytor granite, the same as to the Achilles in Hyde Perk, is rapidly proceeding with. DOTER, AUG. 9.—His Excellency Prince Paul Esterhazy, and aui•e, arrived this mornlag at Pry's . ' York Hotel, under a salute front the Fort at the Heights; Major Taylor and the other Officers of the Garrison were in attendance. Tte Prince, after partaking of an elegant breakfast, proceeded to leave the York Hotel, to embark on board the Monarch steam vessel, Captain Hayward, then lying in the harbour, when he got iu•e!lieence that a German Count, the sliore person who assaulted Ole Polon. in London, and who had been eagerly watching his arrival the last two daps , was then walking to and fro on the Quay, near the place heed for his embarkation. A boat was immediately procnred on the beach, opposite the York Hotel, into which the Prince, his Secretary, and confidential servant embarked, under another salute from the fort; the vessel at the same time quitting the quay, joined the Prince in the h iv, to the no small astonishment of the Count, who exhibited every sign of a maniac on his views heinz thus frustrated. Every pre caution W 33 taken to guard against any attack that might be attempted. The Connt immediately embarked on board the Arrow steam vessel, then hound fur Calais, exclaiming he would follow him to Hell, if he himself should bt burnt. On Wednesday last was married by special license, in the parish church of Cossey, by the Right Rev. the Bishop of Norwich, Tho•nas Alexander Fraser, Esq. of Luvat and Stricl.en. to Charlotte Georgina, eldest daughter of Sir George Jerningham, R trt, of Cossey-tall. The marriage ceremony having been previously performed in the chapel of the Hill, according to the rite and ceremonies the Roman Catholic Church, by the Rev.

He is not allowed either to quit France, or to pro ere(' to Paris, but is forced to remain where he is, and to wait on the. Mayor twice every day.
