Alderman NVOINT then spoke as follows t— thatlemen—There has been a subject for some time before the Public, to which I would call your particular tootles; 1 mean the subject of the Legislative Union. l i es o e peo, I have ever shewn my attachment to the City of Bohn, aid I think that a more ruinous system for this rosary could not be devised. Mr. Concannon ma l e a mesa the other day NI this *abject; some say that he 41 it for a bet, bet they say so only for the par poae .t throwing cold water on it; but , kientlem eo, I air that the repeal of that measure is the only thing tint ran restore isdependenre and tranquillity to our mem% It is idle to talk of tithes • the people of !re lied are the best natured people in ;he world ; the poor pwant will share his salt and potatoes with a mas, and he will afterwards way-lay and murder him; but this is is conaequence of their being badly educated. I hope an Avgregate Meeting will he called ea the subject of the Union. 1 hops the Sheriffs will call it; but if thee should not, a hen the thing gets a little more wind. I, as a Magistrate, if I cam get another to act with me, will call use far the purpose. No on. can accuse me of disloyalty ; I am so Orangeman; I am *sly a Proles fast of the realm; and I sincerely wish, Gentlemen, that the next Session of Pa/liftmen may prove ass- Orions. I have some Revelations on the subject, hat I •ill not read them. I will not do like him who voted an Addms to the Lord Lieutenant, and then read the Address (which he lead prepared in his pocket) as part of his spear .. No, Gentlemen, I will cooly move that a Committee of Tweatymne shall be appointed to prepare Reselatthos relative to the repeal of the Legislative I oles. I think we should aloe pass a vote of thanks to Lewin Concaunoe, Esq. for his speech em that subject, which was copied into most of the Dellis Papers, mad foe which we might So return them oar thanks. Alderman Asa xis Resolatioa, relative to a Com wines brie; appoints& was seconded by Mr. Reese, and bete[ rut from the Chair, was passed usasinsonly.

Mr. Ns.s then rose and spoke as follows: lieetlemen—l rise to propose a Resolution for the adariesies of our Catholic felloweitizeres into this Goild. The law of the lead says, that Catholics are eligible.— It is not soy wish tow any thing that can levitate, or awaken party feeling. If they would be eligible, pro fronts; any other religion, are they sett equally so as Gatherwe? Bat I she set claim any right that they are ant molded to ; twenty-nine years ago, eleven Catholic Merchants were admitted into this Guild. This was in the year 1793. list as be., ials more, thee, of amodasey, for sscsnd.ncy on the one hand, Implies degradation on the other. My object is to do sway all distinction. Br the admission of Catholics into your Guild, you will add considerably to your owe respectability. A voice in the erowd.—l doubt it damnably ! Mr. Ness thee moved the following Resolution, which wail seconded by Mr. Patrick:— Resolved—That as Romeo Catholics are he the lam tithe land eligible to be Members of this 041 d, and M there is no rule or by-law oa our books to exclude thaw we, therefore, is order to demonstrate oar loyalty to dm King. our respect for the laws, and oar esteem and friend ship for oar fellow-eitizens, do hereby declare our is testicle to support with our votes and interest, the ad mission of su. h respectable Merchants of this city as may, slier thetusels re, viand reiigioris A vacua 16131[1)114es 6111111041.i0 which Sir A.

Itlr.J a ad es GaATTA x maid sot minims that they would confer either !moose or esselsenent on the Catholics, by Omitting them to the Guild. The Gentleman who pro. peso! the 1110#111410 produced the names of some of the Snag respectable Catholic merchants on the last dr e r al t they were rejected; it was not seeessary that he predere them now. With respect to the measure of the Union he (Mr. J. Grattan) bad and is parliament, seed wee prepared to say every where, that " disgrace sad infamy would attach to the names of those who car ried that measure," Mr. Hat ItY GRATTAN thought that the present was not the titre tor bringing forward such a resolution—the mantry a as in a state of discontent—there was no safety, Tie peace, no security—it was impossible things could go es hang as they were. He did sot think it Meltable to metimie t. ee out this dish to the public mind, which would tend ..nly to create agitation. He would propose, as as amet.ilment, a resolution to the effect, that, in re jerting the motion, it was not intended to convey the slightest ilisreepect to the Catholics of this city. He would also .nove a vote of thanks to Hugh O'Cossie. Esq. as Secrets:llo the Mansion-bone Committee. After a few words from Mr. Alderman Newest, the question was loudly called for. Mr. Grattan's Ann& meat was not preswesl ; the question was then put to the original emulation moved by Mr. Nee, which was lest he a great majority. Loud clapping followed the amendment from the Chair. of the resolution having been lost. The Auwodmeat p roposed by Mr. Grattan will this mused as r a origins Resolution ; it paused unanimously. Some other business of a local nature followed, and lie Alretiog adjourned Mae die. (lIPROM Tit DUBLIN IRIRDIAN'II JOURNAL) 03 Monday an adjourned Quarterly Meeting of the Corporation of Skinners and Glovers was held to receive the Report of the Comatitttte appointed to prepare as Address to Lilacs Coneannon, Esq. M. P. relative to his intended motion fora repeal of the Act of Union. The Report was read. It commenced by adverting the resolutions which had been at various times adopted by the Corporation, as declaratory of their fixed °pink,. of the unjust principle and mist:Me-oas effects of the Act of Union ; it stated that the arguments by which that ("Won had been enforced had now received their fullest confirmation from experience, and that Ire land every n here afforded evidence of their truth. It proceeded witty that coercion producing habits of resist- ance; the failure of revenue and resources; the ex tinction of trade; the decay of cities ; the de s tit ut i on o f artisans ; the felf-baniehment of the rich; the desola tion of the poor; the growth of crime, famine, and dis ease, all provecittrat twenty years enjoyment of the Wes sings of the Union, were the most calamitous and degraded period with which thin country has been af. dieted. THE STATESMAN, • This address was carried by acclamation. and It was resolved t►at Messrs. William Benjamin and Jelin N$ nry Taylor slionld be depsted to firmest it to the Hem Member in Leaden. Mr. Joux SID,tST TAYLOR said he accepted the trust with willingness, and was glad that this question was at length to be hronght under the reviewnf the Legislature., lie could not omit that opportunity of expressing a hope that the resolution which bad been adopted would meet with that general support which was worthy a cause of such magninde. With her political independence Ire , land had lost her resident proprietors, her productive in dustry, 1,2 r growing mcnnfactures, the comfort of her people,e, the stability of rational freedom, and the otiose , in to improvement; she had been ever since declining ' towards that state in which a nstion exists ob. the terms of .1 slave, n 3.1 of a pauper. tier virtues were broken, her energies shaken, and even her hopes almost exhaust ' ed. Previous to the Art of Union she stood before the world as the useful and proud ally" of Great Uri ten; but her history was now only to be read in the vicissitudes of poverty and violence—of coercion and fatality. In short that Act had . never falfilled one of the promises of its advocates, while it had more titan realised the prediction:: of its opponents. There were few Irishmen that did net acknowledge this truth ; among their friends and neighbours they knew that the honour and happiness of Ireland owed their extinction to the men who soil her independence. The time was now come when they *booth' let this go forth to Government. They should coins forward in each a manner as would prove that a compact, which was founded in injustice, and carried by fraud, might now be dissolved in concurrence with the consent of both countries. This was not a party question—it was one in which all classes, who wish to save the empire, should form a generous combination to demand the Indepen dence of Ireland. It was resolved, that oar representativee, Sir R. Shaw, Bart. and Thomas Ellis, Esq. be instructed to support Mr. Concannon's motion; and that the Master, Wardens, r &So di) wait on them with the said Resontios. SHIPPING INTELLIDENCE. DEAL, OCT. 16.

MORS PIRACY... Extract of a letter from Mr. James Brossard, mister of the ship Harmony, from Liontlaras, dated off Dover, Ont. 15 : —.4 We sailed from Belize on the 22d of August, and were boarded off the Collorades. by a pirate brig and a schooner, which took away a puncheon of water, a saw, and a spy-glass. Between the Havannah anti Illa'anzi, we were hoarded by a schooner, with about ahl men, which plondered us of two gen-carriages partly made, three boxes of taker ' a bag containing 450 dollars, 37 serons of indigo, 17 doubloons, and others articles. They then put a rope round my neck to hang me, and gave me two or three squeezes, as 1 bad told them there was no silver on board : they afterwards heat the crew, took away all their clothes, as well as mine, and threw overboard part of our parents and logwood. During last week upwards of 30,000 guidon of wheat were imported from Ireland alone into Liverpool, and the whole was sold partly to consumers and partly to speculators, at ns. a quarter, calculating the weight to be 60!b. a bushel. There has been a great falling off this year in Bury Fair. On Wednesday last, the first ball, not more than twelve persons were present ; and at the second ball, on Friday evening, about four hundred ladies and gentle- men were in the rooms, at least two hundred lass than last year.

New scalded lugs flare yet come to market ; 235. to 2ls. seems to be the rate for this description. The migration from the villages in the Weal , ' of Sas sex, to Itrighton, this Michaelmas, have been incredibly numerous. Some villages are said to he almost desert ed. Many who, hut a few years ago. were husking in the snnshine of effinence, have broaght hither their last 5411. perhaps 2111. with the view of making an effort in some little way of busbies*. to save themselves and fend lies from paopensm.to which many of their once wealthy neighbours have been already compelled to submit. It is ealculated that not less than 21,11 families of the above description have taken op their residence here since Sew Michaelmas day !—(l3rigliton eitromietc.) Plenty has, even here, become sxoeedingly lavish with her favours. At our market on Saturday, which was abundantly stupefied with almost every description of edible, fine fat geeee were soil (with their giblets) as low as 31. each, and live pigs, too large for roasters, at the same price, with other necessaries of life proportionably low.—(Brighton Chronicle.) About the hour of three o'clock on Sunday, a fire broke out in a house situate in Lower Kingston, (Dun leary).which was occupied by a number of poor people. The tire was occasioned by a quantity of straw being in a room, over which there was a broken hearth-stone, from which the fire fill among the straw. A Ifir.Tully, who ha I the house in charge, haul three small casks of powder in a cellar. The powder blew up, but no person received any hurt, and the damage sustained was but trifling. The house belonged to Lord De Vesey.— (Deblin Morning Post.) THEATRES. — rem — OPSPIWO or nOttlnlattri TugAYnc—Tlllll men Theatre, WI it is not Improperly called, was thrown open to the public lest night, and every part, as might be ex. petted, was crowded to an overflow. The pressure was great, hut, though, from the it.cleineucy of the weather, ;he crowd consisted chiefly of men, there was less con fusion than could have h-en eisected, and, when once in their places, the &sunaes! multitude marked their Admiration of the liberality and taste exercised in their cause several exalting cheers. At seven o'clock the gs ten curtain drew up, and a body of performers, vocalists, rime forward, to sing, as usual on such accosts:lna, s• God save ihe King." Mum the singers retired, the drop curtain de. gern.led, and Air. realty appeared to deliver an Address, sari Hen fur the occasion by Mr. CoLkrArr, hide!' we subjoin. It is a lively effort, and treats the changes which have been made with humour. The Play,whiek, as the peculiar property and glory of O r knry, nes well chosen for the occasion—The Selsool fur Seruelal, then commenced. Most of the performers are so well knesyn in the characters wlsiels they treater- Jag assumed, that merely to enumerate them is sufficient. l'ititaT was the Sir Peter; Dostrrox returned after as absence of more than a year, and was must warmly greetbd in Sir Oliver Setrftee. which, be acted with di ihst humour which has fur so many years been the ad miration ofilse tosto.

I:LiIIiNT•I4IIIDEN.—TIre Comedy of the Jeolo:te Wife was repeated last isight• and Miss CligliTEß made her second appearance as Mrs. Oakley. The acting of this lady, especially in the early scenes, was more effective than even on her debut and was duly appreciated mid acknowledged by most liberal applause from all parts of the lkOsso. .iladdle was the after-piece, in a kid, Paithey, Iliss Pours, &c. displayed their well-known talent. Conte confusion in the machinery, during the descent of the fairy palace in the last scene, appeared to give considerable alarm to the above lady. As the cur tain stropped she was unthle to support herself without the assistance of the persons near her. ~~- The following is the Address delivered by Mr. Terry, on the opening of the Nee Theatre of Drury : Sines Theatres so oft In this ou► time ire laintee'd upon the tow., with solemn thyme, Thoughts ready-made, to lit the theme are found, like last year's tunes on barrel-organs grimed; And poets furbish, iu the bathos style, Ohl tropes and ;Ivrea for the new-built pile.

His Majesty appeared in most excellent health. Mr. °wt.—Several Gentlemen, we learn by the Dir6liis Member Poet, were present on Monday at the place appointed fur meeting, to congratulate Mr. Owen on his arrival in Ireland. Mr. Owen, (adds the same paper) took the opportunity of making some general observations on the nature of his System—be listened to, and answered every inquiry. His conciliating ■eft. bility, and mildness of manner, combined with his ex• tensive and accurate knowledge of the subject to which his ob lions bad reference, seemed to have made a most favourable impression on all present. The letters recei v ed yesterday from St. Petersburg to the 45th ult. are, as usual, conhned to mercantile affairs. Sugar and Coffee had improved considerably, and exten sive orders have been received in this country for that quarter; and trade in general presented a more animated appearance than for a length of time past. Exchange slightly improved. FRONTICILS or SIVITURLAND, OCT. 4.—The King of Prussia reached lisle on the evening of the 30tb.

Pi LISM, Between Jackson, the Somers Town Chimpion, set 4 Thibitt, u pupil of Josh. I/ndson, for 40 savereigsts asi4e, near the Maw Pole, on Epping Eore.t. The turn-out on Tuesday on the roads leading to the scene of action, beggared all description : the pedestrians I were us' ners.sus in the extreme : lots of gi is and drags added to the number, hut the *wells from the west were wanting. It was altogether a c7norsoner's licht ; yet 1111 unusual degree of interest had been excited throug h loot the the minor el of the Panty. Jackson was a • well-known good man; he had floored ull his opponent 4 within a small circle of Somers Town : sod he how Ne i Wed himself that his eommest over 'llhisitt amnia give him a first place in the rue ring : and aceordinaly he was Looked at odds. At one o'clock, Til•bitt.arm-in-arm with Too. Owen and lhalsom, sppeared 011 the grossest, and threw Isis castor within the ropes; soil soon 'Per Jackson, attended by (giver and Harry llult, repeated i the token of defiamte. On stripping., Jackson appeared to possess all the requisites for militias' : and he had the [ advantage over his opponent both io height and length. [ Tibbitt is a fine athletic young man, and whose arms [ and back, for the beauty of the action of the mnseles, would have proved a fine treat for eves' an Abernethey to have witnessed them. Every spectator present was attracted with admiration at t h e manliness of his frame. Jackson reminded theamatsors of Bill Wood iu his 14 mould be a waste of time to detail the whole of the mods, 44 in bee : bat higher courage or a more brave fight could sot have been seen. Jackson took the lead, and kept it for several rounds but the suillicr was est severe that he fell off in his wind, and Tibhitt gained ground. In the 24th round, Oliver percrivin Jackson had no chance, threw up his hat, and gave it is, for his wan ; but Jackson world not have it, refitted to shake heads with Tibbitt, and declared he would fight Bout. The President of the Daffy Cluh, who held the watch, now left the ring, considenag the battle was at an end. The:ssiil, however, was renewed ; but is such confusion, that the stakes of the ring were forced don r . , and the ropes turn from their situations ; no great was the pressure of the crowd, in spite of the whips and ac tivity of the milling coves to keep the spectators out Twenty rounds were fought in close quarters, in the middle of a mob ; when Jackson, from the terrific pun ishment be had received, became so much exhausted, an to be Insensible to the calls of time. It was over in 47 minutes. The father of riblike, his mother, and two si t.yes. were in a drag, loudly applanding him through out the fight. Ward, Pineal, {Landoll, Curtis, Lennev, Scroggites. and Tisdale, wem on the ground, and who exerted themselves to keep the ring, but without effect. Considerable sums of money were lost by the deteat of Jackson. ANOTHER COACH ROBBERY. It is with um+ velment we have to notice another in stance of a banker's parcel having been stolen from a coach, containing three remittances (rain Bristol bank. iug-houses to their correspondents is this city (Bath ;) and from the almoner in which the robbery was effected, we are induced to believe that the thief must be con nected with a set of men who live by this species of plunder. The following ei ing this afftir:— It appears the delinquent was taken up near Temple gate, is Bristol, anti that two Wire, of most respectable connexions, one living between Bristol and Bath, and the other at Bath, were also in the coach. Shortly after the first mentioned lady left the coach, the man cow tamed a search in it, for the purpose, as he stated, of seeing " if somsethiag was is the seetfor him which he expected to 6e there; and after exatnining certain par cels, be said, "ft is all right." On the coach reaching tbe bridge at the entrance into Bath, he requested the lady ‘• to al ow him to take his pared out of the seal oa which the lady was sitting," which he did, Wittig it in a green silk handkerchief, end holding the same is his hand. Before the coach reached its regular place of destination, he stopped it. and got out, requesting the coachman "to keep a place for him at lie Wended to retire to Bristol im the eoemimg bythe same comoeyamer The ft how then walked deliberately off with the parcel in his hand, enveloped in the handkerchief, and was seen *o turn a corner; and although tire coachman di• • cohered the robbery within five minutes after the scoun drel bail left the coach, and every risible search wai vet we are sorry to say he el-cted his escape. T• e following is a description of di? thief :—I le is about a fret six inches high, 35 years of age, dark hair, swarthy complexion, shrew 4 and sht•rp looking, she one, lip ra h r projecting; store a black coat, dark oaistcoat, blue pantaloons, with Wellington boots; Cat - Fie.' a green silk hankerchief, and bad a blue umbrella. —(ll.lth Gazette.)

It soon communicated to the !muse of Mr. Po • is. hatter; Mr. Cowen, clothier; and Mr. Hagerty, piece -broker; which were totally consumed. Some other houses also were damaged before the flume. were extinguished. Great complaint arose for want of water on the commencement of the fire; hat on a supply hieing obtained the exertions of the firem e n in checking the progress of the flames were very snecessfnl, and deserving of much praise. Great alarm prevailed from the houses adjoining baring in g I wooden fronts; but we are happy to add, that in the midst of so much danger we have not heard of any lives being lost. —Some sightmen had been em ployed on the premises, who did not qui: till half pwit two o'clock, and it is sopposed a lighted candle li.id been left by them, and, by communicating to some straw, Lad tensed the conflagration. Skipper, the pedestrian, has finished his extraordinary tadc of walking one thousand miles in the same number of half hours. The poor um, it seems, engaged in this laborious feat without set or hackers, depending for reward upon the casual bounty of the sporting men. William Abbinger, the Ipswich fortune-teller, died last week, in an obscure lodging in that town, after realized above fifteen hundred pounds by his pre tended art. He was formerly in the Royal Navy, and disiharged after having been disabled in the service : he afterwards associated with a gang of gypsies, from whom he professed to have derived his kno*ledge of the occult science.
