Readers Monday last Mr. DRARAILD'S account of our Elec. will feel baltpy on bei n g info rmed, that this beaul tion, I trust you will give room to the annexed copy ful structure is no longer to be neglected, and that of a letter s which I have just written him, and its rapid decay is likely to be immediately arrested oblige an • ; by the hand of the mason; a n ade q uate fund having, 01.1) at length, by the authority of Parliament, been pro sided for its support. In consequence of which the repairs hare actually commenced, the workmen having begun, and made some progress in amending the footway ; and I have the pleasure of being able to add, that the pavement is not only being amend ed, but very much improved by the expedient of raising it three inches, or so, which will enable all passengers of the ordinary height to have an uninterrupted view of the water, and consequent ly of whatever ma,y. he on it, of which they have hitherto beeu depeived by the parapet having, in point of height been so unpleasingly formed as to ob struct the sight of most of the passengers. It would, however, perhaps, have been more convenient to the public, if one side of the way had been - finished before the other had been begun, especially as it will probably take two or three of the dirty months to finish the work, although there seems to be about a dozen hands employed on it. Now I am on the subject of the Bridge, I cannot help expressing a hope, that the City, who have the . sole care of it, will never again permit the Bridge to be so unlighted ,as it often was last winter. For, if that should happen, it may be as fatal to me in the passage from my Chambers in town to my residence! io Surrey, as it was to my neighbour Fot.t.err_ s of-1 Garden-court, who having spent a winter's evenittsil with some friends,. south of the Bridge, and havjng, probably sacrificed, rather freely to the rosy god, 1 Bacchus, in his way back to his Chambers, it happening to be a very dark night, and there not being a glimpse of light on the Bridge to gnide him, it seems he traversed the foot-path by the houses on the west side of the road, and instead of passing over the bridge, was led under it; for on his reaching the end of the pavement he came to the stairs from whence, as it was high water, he slipped into the river and thus passed the bourite 1 from whence no traveller returns. I asp sure you! will pardon my mentioning this so particularly, on my reminding you that the premature'deperture of a Lawyer is of more importance to him than to the Parson, or, indeed, tiny other description of persons, inasmuch as whenever he, quits.his tenement of clay, whether agreeable to him or not, he is, by common consent, very charitably consigned to the dominion of his sable highness the D Your's, TO MR. DRAKARII. StR,--The state of the Poll at the Election for , 11th Borough, on the 6th inst. you have correctly given, in your Paper of last week, as well as the substance of the speeches of the newly-elected Mem hers, and the whole of Mr. C. T_ txsivsoN's speech ; indeed, so correctly is the speech of this latter Gen- ! tleman reported, that one would imagine that it was REVISED by him before it was sent to you. Mr. C. TENN VSON came, to Grimsby, professedly to canvass for Sir ItOnv.RT flenov, he accordingly accompanied him during part of his canvass ; his Father's agent,l arid most of those few ho could influence, gave their votes to Sir ROBERT enily. Mr. GRANT (lid not enter the Borough, having been in Scotland when Parliament was dissolved, until nine o'clock of the morning of the Election, and before five at night he was returned by more than four-fifths of the whole nuilitier who polled. I leave you, therefore, to judge which of these two Gentlemen it is Mr. C. 'rev sTSON's intention to attack, and what probability there is of success ; I can only say, that I beliere no one was t irec returned to Parliament who had more the !warts of his Constituents than Mr. GRANT ; and after forty years' experience in this Borough, I can venture to assure you, that your fears for its future tranquillity are perfectly groundless. I am, Sir, &c. The total number who polled,, 263. Fur Mr. Grant, 210. Sir R. lieron,l92. A very high tide occurred yesterday. The Thames •• overflowed its hanks, the water rising so high as four feet, and for several hours inundated Westminster i Fall, the sitting-room in Oliver's coffee-house, the passage of the house of Commons, and every dwell- ing-house contiguous. In the passage leading to the I Bouse of Commons an engine was worked to check I the rapidity of the currant ; and in Westminster Hall, I the water being four feet in depth, a waterinan was employed witls,his wherry. Sunday se'nnlght, about half-past five o'clock, five •illains entered the dwelliug-house of the miller at Balm-mill, near Clackheaton, and robed him of I rear 1501. they were immediately pursued, but we are sorry to add, have yet escaped. INQUEST. —On Monday an Inquest was held at the Rope, Bethnal-green, on the body of Isaac Cole, a young man, aged 16, who shot himself on Saturday. Air. Searle, surgeon, deposed, that on Saturday, between one and two o'clock in the morning, he was Sent for to see the deceased in a one-pair-of-stairs room. He found him with his head shattered to pieces, by the discharge of a gut], which was lying by his bedside. J. Carter, a watchmaker, stated,' that the deceased was his apprentice ; that about • half past ten on Saturday night the deceased and he were together, when he left him to go to his bed- I'MPM, and the witness at the same time went to bed. About half-past twelve he was awoke by a noise, when lie procured a light,' and went into the de ceased's room, where he found him lying upon his bed, and weltering in his blood. They had not any quarrel, hut parted friends. The deceased was of sound mind, and never was suspected of being in sane. From the whole evidence it was thought that the deceased had been playing with the gun, when it went oil accidentally.. Verdict—Accidental Death. There is now living in the parish of Tippermuir, about five miles to the North-west of Perth, John Bay, aged 107 years, in very good health. He was born in the parish of Gask, bred a farmer, and now resides on a small pendicle of land belonging to the Earl of Kintioul, by whose bounty his wants are supplied. He is married to a second wife, but his children are all dead. He can walk ten or twelve miles a day. In the course of his long life he scl. dom tasted spirituous liquors. He remembers, in the year 1715, cariying ammunition to thu King's army, and of seeing a cannon dragged by 16 oxen and two horses. On Siandly evening last, at eight o'clock, Mr. Ro bort., one of the Common Councilmen of the ward . of Farringdou Within, was stopped in Gutter-lane, Ci.eapside, within a few yards of his own house, by a I gang of genteelly dressed men., olio of whom put al bandkercnief to his mouth, while two laid hold of each arm ; they then took his watch from his pocket, and made their escape into Cheapside. Monday seionight a person at Durham had hit howl shattered to pieces by the bursting of his gun, which he had foolishly charged with powder, well wadded, and' water, in order to stun, without kill ing, a parrot, which had escaped, and was Hying about. Mr. Wesley, a pedestrian of much celebrity, yes. terday undertook, for a wager of fifty guineas, to go half a mile in two minutes ai:d ten seconds, on the road from Hounslow to Hampton. He ac e() nplished the task in two seconds within the given time. • On Tuesday the election of Members for the comity of Huntingdon took place, when Lord Ili ichinhrook and N. If. reilowes, Esq. were spin chosea. The festivity usual on such occasions terminated a melancholy manner. A man of the name of Pettitt, a glovn . near Kimbelton, in de scending from the dining-room at the Fountain Inn, appening to miss a step, fell from the top to the bottom of the 4tairs, and fractured his skull so dread fully that he Wad instantly. CUM) liTitteetmo.—Tuesday two children, one four years .old, the other five, belonging to Mr. Ilemit•rson, of Kensington, was decoyed by an el derly female from the place where they were at play to Kensington. Gardens. The unfeeling offender there took them among the yew trees, stripped both naked, and ran off with their clothes. The cries of the children were heard by the gardener, who found theni exposed to the inclemency of the wea thur in one of the walks. dating thrown his great coat over them be coanyed both to tbeit discoaso late parents. • i . I 1 . 1 , THE FrrivrEsmAN. • •, B LA,CIrFEURS' BRIDGE. TITHE MEETHE On Tuesday, the 13th October, there was a very numerous and respectable Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, and Protestant Clergy of the County of Kilkenny, held at the Courthouse, for the purpose of taking the tithe system into consideration. Lord Viscount hum,/ ILA Sheriff in the I a o a ,Chair. The CHAIRMAN having tend the requisition, in .consequence of which the Meeting was called, The Earl of Dcsaier said; that he should occupy the attention of the Meeting as short a time us possi ble, on a subject which was so well understood. Its importance, however, and his respect for *the vener able body to whose property it related, urged him to offer a few observations : his Lordship then adduced some satisfactory arguments to shew the injurious [ operation of Tithe on the agriculture of the country. I Tithe differed most essentially from rent—for rent, when once fixed, must continue the same, generally for a term of three lives, or 31 years, must be as high Ito the most slothful as the most industrious farmer, I and must he felt oppressive by the indolent only, and I consequently operate as a strong stimulus to their exertions. As to Tithe, to the lazy grazier it was no burthen ; it was only felt by that most useful and I I numerous class of men, the tillage farmers, by whose ! ; exertions Great Britain was, during the last year, I ! • saved from all the horrors of famine, and who must I ever complain of so serious a charge upon their la- I boor- and capital. This was a charge, too, the more i grievous, froni the uncertainty and constant increase which the succession of incumbents was ever found i,to produce. His Lordship then adverted to the ope- [ [retied' Tithe had on the tranquillity of the country, I I it being, in• his opinion, a productive source of most of its disturbances ; bat he wished to pass over this [ delicate branch of the subject as briefly as possible. He then proceeded to obviate the objections so con- ! Mandy made against the practicability of a modifies- f tion of the Tithe System ; and stated, that the defects' of the system now so much complained of, might be' Ipartly remedied, by a power to the Clergy to grant 1 [ leases to the landlord, or occupying tenant only, for [ fourteen 'or twenty-one years, at the full value; such t leases to be registered, and not renewable until after I the expiration of the term. Such a Committee as this 1 ° would grant a temporary relief, which might be after ! wards rendered permanent, by the exchange of these Tithe Rents for land, He considered land as the best 1 equivalent, and such as would secure the Clergy from E the loss they might otherwise sustei,q, from the depre- ciation of the currency of the country in progress of! time. His Lordship then expressed the high respect he entertained for the Clergy, and that in bringing I forward the measure he was about to propose, lie was ; actuated no less by a regard for their interest a:nd welfare, than for the peace and prosperity of the'! country. He then moved a Resolution, which had previously obtained the sanction of the last Grand ! Jury of the City of Kilkenny, viz.:— 1 " That it is the unanimous opinion of this Meeting that the Interposition of the Legislature on the sohject of Tithe, would be higbh conducive to the tranquillity of Ireland, and the pro- . sperity of the agricultural interest." JosEPH GREENE, Esq. seconded the motion. The Rev. Dr. ANTHONY PACK then rose and ad dressed the Meeting. He requested gentlemen to consider . well the important proposition now sub- ! witted to their adoption before they would sanction it with their approbation., 'lo him the subject ap peared as one of the most vital nature, and leading , • to an innovation not only dangerous to the pro- perty of the Clergy, but to the. property of all around him. The title of the Clergy to Tithes was as hide - I feasible as that of any gentleman present to his estates—and any measure calculated to disturb the : i one, would, in process of time, prove injurious to I the other—he therefore admonished the Meeting to Ipause before they would come to any decision on a , question of such magnitude, and pregnant t ith so ! many fearful consequences—under such impressions he thought it right to suggest the propriety of an ad journment, in order that the Clergy might be enabled to confer together and determine upon such measures as should be deemed necessary for the preservation of their rights. The Rev. Dean of OISORY and the Rev. Dr. 13e-T- ' LER made a few observations expressive of• their ap probation of the sentiment deliverpd by Dr. Pack. The Rev. Mr.-Moscx. was onetihe:same side. • The Rev. Dana STEVENSON, after a few observe-' Itions upon the necessity of great caution iu making I any change in property which had remained unal [ tered for centuries, said, at the same time, that lie did n. t altogether agree with his brethren who had I spoken before him—he was not afraid of the inter- ! position of Parliament, having the utmost reliance on its justice and wisdom ; and lie trusted that any : [ alteration it would sanction 'would he no less bene ficial i • to the Clergy than to the Laity. To use the [ words of the celebrated Dr. Woodward, Bishop of Cloyne, " Whenever a better plan should be sug- - ; gested for the payment of the Clergy, that is, one equal in value to them in succession, and more con-1 venient to the Laity, he would [batik the Statesman who Would disencumber him from the constant tron- ; ble and occasional ill will arising from Tithes." [ The Rev. Mr. Cooke, the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, the' Rev. Mr. Hunt, the Rev. Mr. Caulfield, the Rev.. Mr. Shaw, and the Rev. Mr. Roe appeared to co& I 1 cur in opinion with Dean Stevenson. - Mr. Nowlan, Mr. Harty, and Mr. Later made a [ few remarks. • [ ' Lord Desert then replied to Dr. Pack's obser vation, and the High Sheriff having put the question upon his Lordship's motion, it was carried unani mously ; as was also a motion that the following Peti tion be presented to Parliament by the Representa tives of the County : TO TJ! t; RIGHT HONOURABLE AND HONOUR ABLE THE KN It lITS, &c. Attz, Oil., PARLLA Al I:NT ASSEM !ILEA. The Amble Petition of the Freihiaderi nt the County of Kilkenny, duly convened by the nigh Sheri*: of said.

An unfortunate affray took place in Holheash Marsh a few days since, when a labourer, i t Cie service of Mr. Wildors, was killed by a senate of -Mr. Cooper.

The witnossea. examined on this occasion were two women who were presetit at the time the scuffle happened. Their evidences were pretty touch alike, both stating that Mr. W. %Sliders came into the field to call his la bourers to go and assist him in getting his •waggens along the road, to the creek where he was delivering • his corn ; upon which occasion he desired them not to take their sickles w ith them, but to take astickcael, in case Mr. Covers laboure6... should attack, them, bet Mr. W. bogged of them -not to hurt any body.

ST. PaNcaas.—This parish is at present, we re gret to say, in a state of great agitation. It seems i that the Vicar and a select Vestry have announced their intention to apply for an Act of PhrHament for authority to build a new church, to enlarge a neigh. ; bouring chapel, and also for the purpose of increas io. or commuting the Easter offerings and parochial " dues. A considerable body of the parishioners, how-1 ever, have, we understand, resolved to resist these I proposed measures with the most resolute persever ance. They allege that, in more prosperous times, an additional chapel or two would be more suitable and beneficial than the measures proposed, but that the present state of the parish will not admit of ; any increased expenditure. They allege, besides, • that there is at this time a mortgage debt outstanding of 15,0001. with accruing interest, and that the erection of an Infirmary for the sick poor has been ; actually deferresl„ for want of adequate fonds, the sick poor being as yet continued In the old work-' house premises, with great inconvenience, and to ma nifest disadvantage ; anti therefore, that the project for building a new church, &c. is, at this time espe cially, highly unadvisable, improper, and ittexpe ' client. We do not pretend to be acquainted with the merits of the controversy, but we deem it our duty, as Journalists, to give publicity to the affair, that a question of this magnitude should be thoroughly known and understood, and that no underhantVpro ceedings shall take place, if either of the parties should be inclined, which, we trust, however, is not the case, to resort to *Os • r• it:7m evis.arY j I I 1 • :~ .
