There does not appear to be any truth in the report which prevailed a short time ago, that four of the Junior Fellows of the University of Dublin bad the penalties of the statute of celibacy remitted by the Royal Grace. We are not able to discover any authority for the rumour. The Rev. Mr. Phelan, one of the ablest theologian of the time, has, we understand, resigned his Fellowship.

WEEKLY REGISTER OF WEATHER. -..401....- If variety be charming, this week may be quoted as an ex cellent specimen of the vicissitudes of our changeable climate. At the close of the preceding week the mercury in the baro meter was rising, and indicating an agreeable change; but Sunday proved that the sway of St. &villa* was still para mount; and it was not till Tuesday that the promise of fair weather was fulfilled. The son shone forth that day with a splendor in which It had not appeared to us for manyweeks, and the thermometer was higher than it had been any day this year. The warmest day previously was the 7th of May, when at I o'clock p. m. our thermometer, in the shade, was 76 degrees ; but at II that nkjM, it fell to 33. On Tuesday last, et Ip. m. the seam thermometer, in the shade, stood at 78 degrees, and another, exposed to the sun, reached 103. On Wednesday the warmth encreased. At Ip. m. that day, our thermometer, In the shade, was 78 degrees ; but in the course of the night an unpleasant change took 'place. The thermometer, in a south ern exposers, which at I o'clock p. m. on Tuesday stood at 103 degrees, scarcely reached Oat the same hour on Thursday.— On Wednesday morning some suchehange was indicated by the descent of the smoke of London, fro■ the °oldness of the higher regions of the atmosphere; and in the course of the preceding night, we learn, a violent storm of thunder and light ning, accompanied by heavy rain, had taken place in some of the midland counties. Since that period the weather has been much the same as it had been for the sit weeks before. The nights and mornings have been quite autumnal. This morning between 3 and 8 o'clock our thermometer in a southern ex posure was scarcely 60 degrees. The quantity of rain fallen here sines Saturday last amounts to 4-tenths of an inch.

On Friday se'nnight the Senates Aeadecus of the Velvet slly of Edinburgh conferred the Degree of Doctor of Medi ohm on slimy Gentlemen, of whoa 90 are natives of Ireland. TEE KING'S PLagn.—The Doke of Dorset, in reply to en application by Lord Somers, to obtain a King's Plate for the Hereford Races, says in his letter, that " there are twenty places only which have King's Plates, the money for providing which is paid to his Majesty from public money y the Treasury; in ease,-at has happened, though very rarely, of any place so favoured giving up their races, his Majesty has confmed the tenant plate on some other piece, bat otherwise the King cannot do so , excrpt by payi ng th e requisite sum oat of his privy purse, which is very unusual, if ever done, and obiionsly would constitute a personal bur then on his Majesty." Hanes or Loans.—Pursuant to the stipulations of the Board of Works at the recent sae of the materials, the Old House of Lords is now bane rapidly demolished. The roof and the iatesier we gone, as is "Gay Fawkes' Porch ;" only old stone and brick walls remain with the snee at work on them pecking the walls to pieces, which is no easy labour, so decided is the consistency of the materials. The• House of Lords was, we most now say, a very memorable place; besides the fact of the cellars tiederneath being the scene of what is called the " Popish Plot," it is said at one time to have been the Bed Room of Henry VIII. And even now the "'Royal Robing Room," which is a contiguous Chas bor. and where the King robes when be goes to meet the Parliament. is surrounded with carious *id tapestry rept& sentieg "the Birth of Queen Elisabeth." Th e ce l e b ra t e d' 4en Balme appears in her bed ; and there are on one side of her an attendant. and a nurse with the child on the other. The tapestried story is somewhat broken into by the loss of a piece of the arms, cut to make a door way for his Majesty. leading from the staircase and the new Royal Entrance. la the tapestry beyond the Queen Ann Bailin. appear Henry VIII. and his Coortiers; and one of those Courtiers seems dispatched to hying back intelligence of the o f th e Queen's indisposition. . The Old House of Linda, of late years, has seldom been and, except as a Committee Room when witnesses were to he' examined. It was last used by the Lords' Committee who received the evidence for and against the Bill for the Repeal of the " Spitalfields .4 cts." The Old House of Lords is directed to be pulled down to make way for the furtherance of those improvements about the Upper House;of Parliament that have long been contemplated, especially since the completion of the New Royal Entrance 10 Palace-yard. The chief improvement will be a gallery, leadink from this entrance and the stair case to tbe " Painted Chamber," and thence to the Rob. Room;is and other portions of the space thus gained Will be occupied with offices requisite for the business of, and the penone atteadieg the H-Juse of Lords'. The whole of these alterations are made by the Board of Wombs. and are constantly inspected by Mr. Sosne, the Architect. It is still in contemplation, we stated on a former dray. to take down Mr. Lee's house in Cotton (harden (in a portion of which building Gay Fawkes, &a. secreted themselves, according to evidence adduced on the trial), to make way for a regular series of parliamentary offices occupying the site of Cotton-garden. The present Parliamentary Offices I Meet are at an inconvenient distance from the House of Lords; they are in Abingdoo-stre,t, by the alteration they will be, as they ought to be, attached to the House, sad convenient for reference and busbiess when the House is sitting. It luta been erroneously siated in some of the papers, that the" Painted Chamber" was to be pulled down as wet! as the old House of Lords; that is not the feet. It is to re main. It is the doe, long Chamber in which the " Court Of Claims" holds its sittings. Some of the paintings oa tti walls, together with scraps of Norman French, (there Is no tapestry about this Chamber) are still distinctly visible.— Other portions of these, when the Chamber was repaired, were towered with canvass and framework, and afterwards piss sued. p I • STATESMAIV. COURT OF clIANR*V.— , (Tais Day.) aount..sr v. ma DUlla OF sostaasz?. OD the LORD CHANCILLOR taking his seat this morning, Mr. Gourley addressed his Lordship,and said he waited yes terday, but could not get an opportunityof speaking, and be bad therefore di rec t e d a l etter , an d l e f t i t at hi s Lordship's house. The LORD CIAKCIILLOR said be did oot wish to speak disrespectfully of Mr. Gourlay, but he never read any letters the suitors of the Court might semi, and it would therefore be returned. Mr. Gourley enquired when his Lordship would give his judgment. The Loan Cuawczu.ou said be would give the judge meat as early as possible. He could not see what public bu siness would engage him; but the judgment at all events could not be given io a week or fortnight. Mr. Gourlay seemed most anxious to bare his business settled, and replied be should be in town for a month, should the Duke's Counsel require his attendance, or, if the matter was proposed to he settled by reference. Mr. Harr, on the part of the Duke of Somerset, said be understood the Court would not sit after to day, and be should wish it to come on for judgment after the recess. The LORD CnaNcsm.ou said it was his intention after the holidays, to take the remaining bankrupt petitions. Mr. (Isar replied he did not wish to press it upon his Lordship, but he was anxious it should be heard as early as possible. LORD PORTSMOUTH. Mr. HORNIS informed the Lord Chancellor, that Mr. 'Newton Fellow., would have no objection to the report being made, provided it was without prejudice to any thing he nsight hereafter wish to state. Mr. Newton Fellow.. was not only a trustee, bat contingently a neat of kin, and might hereafter have some claim upon the funds. The LORD CHANCZLLOR said be land not yet had time to look over the report. Thus the matter rests for the nr•sent. ATTEMPT TO AIsASSIYATC 111 a. BAIT/ELL—Coax. Aagest 12.—The following is an extract of a letter from Doneraile, and the daring outrage which it details, seems to manifest beyond contradiction, the sanguinary and fero cious spirit which prevails in this wretched coontry. " A. Batwell, Esq. a Magistrate of the County, was walk ing in his shrnbhery, at Bowen's Court, on Saturday last, at about ten o'clock in the morning, when a shot was fired at him from behind a ditch ; fortunately it missed Mr. Bat well, and the ruffian contrived to escape, before he was re cognized. Mr. Batwell's activity as a Magistrate has reo dared him particularly objectionable to the enemies of good order." On Thursday last an inquest was taken at Haverhill, by John Wayman, Gent. Coroner for the Liberty of Bury, on the body of M. Cracknell, aged about 71 years. It ap. peered in evidence, that upon the deceased's return home, on the previous Monday evening, he was accused by his wife of being intoxicated, though there was no foundation for such a charge, as lie was a man of sober habits, and had only drank one pint of beer that day.—That the wife and daughter then attacked the deceased, and beat him to the ground, and the daughter struck him twice on the head whilst on the ground with a stick, causing blood to flow from the wounds. After this the deceased went to bed, and shortly afterwards got op again, partly dressed himself, and left the house. On the following day his body was found in a pit used as a watering place for cattle, in the middle of a field, at some distance from his house, in a direc tion towards which spot be had been seen going the even. log before, after leaving his house subsequent to the affray. It appeared that the wife and daughter bad bees in the constant habit of beating end ill treating the poor old man for a long time post, in such a degrees' to occasion disturbance in the neighbourhood, and he bad beets he quently beard to threaten self-destruetten after such athcks. Upon Inspecting the body and removing the scalp, Mr. Collins, of Tburiow, the surgeon (summoned to attend the inquest.) deposed that the blows could 'bet have caused the death, but that it proceeded from suffocation ; and after the examination of many witnesses, the Joey teturned a verdict —that the deceased, in a state of temporary mental derange. went, (caused by the blows and ill-treatment received from his wits and daughter,) destroyed himself by drooping and suffocation. : •: •31 LONDON MA&KETB. .
