PERTH COUNTY MEETING. (WU TOT ZDINIIIUROM STAR, OCT. S.) At the Michaelmas Head Court of Freeholders of the o g oly of Perth, held on Tuesday, there were not many I Fe wer, no business of any consequence having b eep ex ~c l ed to come before them. James Drummond, Esq. of rst r sthallan, M.P. for the County, in the Chair. There was produced to the meeting a petition and me morial, addressed to the Lords Commissioners of his Ma leety's Treasury, by the Lines Manufacturers. Linen 'Merchants, and Illeachers of the County of Perth, pray ing that their Lordships would be pleased to direct the t atemis ' donee*, who have been appointed by Parliament, oth reference to the situation of duties on articles as be wen Great Britain and Ireland, to take into consider.): :los the difference of duties, paid by the Manufacturers, Merchants, and Bleachers, in this country aod Ireland: —l,l, on ashes, pearl or pot; td, hard soap; 3d, soft • soa p : 4th, starch: and to hare these duties equalised, is terms of the articles of Union between Great Britain ea Ireland. The meeting having taken the petition into consider ation, res olved, that taking a deep interest in the Linen Trade, of sun importaace to this part of the country, they would request the member of Parliament for the county to forward the object of the petitioners, by every means in his power. The meeting also considered a communication ad dr so d to the Conveners of the county, by the Com * appointed by the General Assembly of the Church , •otland, to take under consideration the present ' mil of striking the fiats of corn : and were of opinion, tit/the liars of the county of Perth were struck with perfect fairer" anti hitherto they bad beard no com p:mit on the subject. They considered that it would he isexpedient to go I. Parliament requesting any new le gislative enactment on the subject. The meeting requested the Preses to write to Mr. skefie, who addressed a letter to the Convener of the i °only. wishing subscriptions to the equestrian statue of his Majesty, expressive of their regret that there were n 4 public funds belonging to the county, from which they could vote any sum towards that object. Communications were also laid before them from Mr. Henry Bell, of Glasgow, wishing the meeting to support a claim he bad made to Government, for a remuneration, as being the best person who brought into this country the power of steam in propelling vessels against wind and tide; and certain letters on the subject of the dis tillery laws; but they judged it unnecessary to come to ate resolutions on either of these subjects. Thine was also laid before the meeting a circular from tNe Convener of the County of Thurso, requesting the County of Perth to co-operate with the other Counties of Sruiland in forming a Committee to consider the sub ject of the Corn Laws, and to petition Parliament on the subject. Sir A. N. Illacuststa said, that however indubitable the f.o.t of the existence of greet agricultural distress n as—however much to be deplored—and however they and all felt it most deeply—yet that he thought Parlia ment too much Interested in the question to require to be prompted to their duty. He therefore thought it better that it should not at present be discussed. Mr. hlutua, of Milton, regretted that the county of Perth should pass the subject over in this way, and thought that as so little, indeed nothing, war done last session, to relieve the existing distress, the appointment of a committee, to investigate the subject, was highly Few ; at all events, that the present application should cot he treated with so much disrepect. Sir A LEXANDEU, in reply, said, that as a great dive r . ..ty of opinion existed on the subject—hardly three ge e. teinen thinking alike on it—such a committee coal outcome to any conclusion. It would b e mu c h b e tte d that the subject should not be entered into at present' than eater into any discuseon, aid conclude with diser, proving of the measure. A letter from the proprietors of a metropolitan news paper was real to the meeting, which produced con siderable amusement. It contained a " very o6ligiey" offer, as Sir A. M. M'Kenzie termed it, to publish gratis such of the proceedings of the county meetings as they wool , ' order to be copied out and sent to Edit.- Imre, for that purpose! A process which, however troahlesoine to the county, would certainly abridge the hiliotirs of reporters in no small degree. It will be a 11.1cyon time for the public journals, when public meet ings send accounts of their proceedings themselves, and not trust to the newspaper reporters! Until such an ar rangement takes place, the other papers may always de pend on finding, in our columns, reports of every im portant matter brought under the consideration of the County Meetings. Afirr some routine road business, the meeting ad jaurned. THE ARMY. GENERA', ORDER. Horse Guards. 8t1: October 1822.

COTINT. THIBATRIL-LaSS night Miss LACT, from the Dublin Theatre, made her first appearance is this metropolis, as Belvidere, in the Tragedy of Venire Preserved. The public will no doubt feel en additional int . in the fate of tbie young lady, when they under stand that she is the grand-daughter of Mr. LACY, who was joint Patentee with Mr. ()AMUCK in Drnry-lane Theatre. It must also be a satisfaction, not only to the public generally, but to those who have to record the account of her complete success, to know that her vener able relative is still living to enjoy the satisfaction of inch intelligence. OTWAT'S celebrated heroine has, perhaps, been more frequently used in cases of intro doctor), experiment than any other in the range of the drama ; she has, therefore, experienced agreater variety of fortunes. Miss LACY'S name must he added to the list of those who by West, taste, and feeling, are quali fied to give this high portrait of the life of dramatic ac tion. Her figure is tall and dignified, her deportment is graceful, and her coonteoance, though not marked by promineacy of feature, is capable of expressing strong emotion in all its transitions. As to the qualities of her voice, we do not feel that we should be justified in pro nouncing upon them with the same confidence on a first trial. Oar opinion is that she overtrained their ener gies last night, in some of the more powerful passages, probably from as idea that it required a greater exer tion to fill the House than it really does. Miss LACY may rest assured that with half the pains that she took to become audible, she will equally succeed in that object while she improves the general effect of her per formance is other esteally inspenaat respeete. Dot after all that may be said of more eitterior advantages, the intellect is the great proprietor in whose possession alone they can become a property available to the splen did purpose of the imitative arts. lo this point the new aspirant to theatrical fame is eminently qualified—as she manifested in her conception of the character, in her selection of the passages in which sh,e,chose tom ike prominent display, and in the effect which she produced upon her audience. The effect was powerful in the highestdegree, and criticism, however disposed to over rate itself, must not presume to quarrel with such de cision. It is the momentary burst of the lightning when it strikes, and not the careful investigation of the na ture and (militia of the fluid, though dignified by , the name of-philosophy, that fills the mind with wonder.— The sublimity of the dash is not referable to our slow discoveries, but to its own abrupt and magnificent ope rations. Miss LACT displayed considerable powers in many scenes. Those which we would select for North colar notice are the scenes in which she prevails upon Jrcifier to disclose the conspiracy, that in which she en counters him after having been surrendered as an host age, that in which she prevails upon her father to inter pose with the Senate, and the concluding one in which she exhibits& deranged intellect and dies. In her part ing with taffies, the intensity of her feeling Was be trayed into some extravagance, which we attribute to her extravagant opinion of the stretch of lungs required by the dimensions of the house. The loudness o f her shrieks in this and other scenes is to be accounted for on the same principle. Hating pronounced some cen sure on her parting scene with Jew, we are bound to admit, that in the soliloquy which follows, and in which Belvidere bursts into madness, her acting was distin guished by judgment as well as feeling. The last scene we have been so often accustomed to see overacted, that it was with something bordering on surprise we wit nessed her pathetic and subdued exertions. Mr. Cutts. KSMELS'S Jaffier is too well known to require any comment. Mr. AIIIBOTT'S Pierre was more than re spectable, taking the word in its theatrical signification. His taunting of the conspirators on the behalf of his imbecile friend was a piece of acting which cannot be praised tsso highly. The whole play was well got up; and with respect to the new actress we do not hesitate to say, that tf she maintains the promise of last night, Covent-garden has made what is technically called a hit. Wednesday morning a smart looking lad, about six teen years of age, called at the shop of John ireen, dealer in rags, 10, Hath-street,Culd-bath-square,n)ifiz. he was sent by a gentleman in Hatton-garden, to pur chase as many white linen rags as be had to sell, as his master was trying an experiment to make Bank note paper. Breen picked out and weighed forty pounds of his best rags, which he put into a hag, and gave them to the young gentleman to carry, and sent his daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, with him, to receive the price. 18s. 4d., as they were to be paid for on deli very. The girl accompanied him to Mr. Young, 13, Cross-street, liattoa-garden, he telling her to wait at the door till he came out with the money; she did so: he went in and sold the rags, for which he rec.-dyed tiairteee shillings; when he came out he threw the bag over her head, and said. .• tio, take that," and ran off, and ef fected his escape. information of this robbery, and a de scription of the thief, was giveo to Edward Read, the police.otlicer. The neighbourhood of Sweeting's-rents was on Wed• nesday afternoon much alarmed, by a loud explosion on the second floor of the Bath chop-house. On inquiry, it was found to have arisen from a young man having taken a barrel, in which was some gunpowder, near the lire. A spark fell into it, by which his arm was much lacerated, and it is feared amputation will be necessary. The windows and the furniture of the room were consi derably damaged. At Lancaster last week, herrings were so plentiful that they were retailed at :10 fur a shilliog. THE STATESMAN: DUBLIN• POLICE. MARRIAGE ACT. .wasEmicazmaoasos FRAUDS IN THE RUTTED TRADE.

Tan Howet-Mdow PERFORIIRD Aft A FARCE.—Yee tealay a very pretty young woman; who stated her name to be Anne HaMerin. applied to the Magistrates of the Heal-Police Office tp compel Thomas Baldwin, who she alleged was her husband, to grant her a restitution of conjugal rights, he having married her, supposing she hail live or six pounds in money, and haying quitted tier the morning after the marriage. A woman named Eli zabeth Cori., wee produced as a witness on the part of the "young and blooming bride;" this witness stated, that TOM Baldwin was sober at the time of the marriage, and that he asked this witness if any thing hail route against Anne since she bad a child by Toni Gaffney. She further stated, that it was she (the witness) who called on Anne the night previous to the marriage, and that they all went to a public-house in the neighbour hood of Whitefriaastreet, where they had some drink; that Tom Baldwin did not sleep with Anne that night, in alleged by him, for that she (Anne) lay with the wit mess, and Tom lay with witness's brother-in-law; tiny in the morning witness said to Tom, "Tom, I would a ! trite Yon to look before yon kite. aml not to tie a knot with your tongue that you can't untie with your teeth ;" and that after this they went off and got married. After they bad been married, witness said to Baldwin, that " he might leave her (Anne) if he like!, as they did not co-bahlt together, and she was nothing the worse," " No," lays TOW, " if she was the parson's danghter I'd keep her; I would not exchange her for a woman with a hundred pounds!" Some witnesses on the part of Mr. Thomas Baldwin stated, that it was a man named Dinnin who married them, and that he was neither a Priest nor a Minister, but a Schoolmaster.—The Magistrates conceiving that they bad not any jnrisiliction to act in the transaction, dismissed the complaint. ASS:Ma ON A &MP AND 015 MRS.—A Sweep, named Andrew Behan, yesterday applied to the Magis trates of the Heal Police-Office, to lodge informations against a man named John M'Daniel, for having coin mitted a violent assault on him on Saturday last, at Liberty-lane; but it was taking too great a liberty to lean so hard on him. Jane Behan, the Sweep's l a dy, deposal that JOllO M' Daniel struck them both on the head with a stick, and that, " he swore he would finish the Sweep and the Sweep's w—" Ellen Delany, who appeared as a witness on the part of the Sweepers, stated, that "she herself was killed deal. out and out entirely, and that he stabbed her with a stick in the breast, and thought to drive it down her throat." " But," said Mrs. Delany. " I know that Anne Cooper was the cause of all that manslaughter." 111•Danniel, who had been summoned on the day pre ceding did not attend. A warrant was consequently male out for his apprehension. Anne Cooper, the Helen who caused this war, was in custody, she appeared to look on the Trio with much indifference, anti there was a mingled expression of scorn and pleasure in her eye, as it wandered from the bruised and bandaged heal of sooty to that of his wife, both of whom exhibited bloody proofs of the prowess of M'Daniel. Anne Cooper was hound over to keep the peace, and having produced her bail, " modestly withdrew." A young Cote and as old Goat, were the only pri soners taken into custody. by the Patrole ofJames ' s. office, on Monday night. 'they were found stray ing, and were left at livery. A man named John Gilroy, was charged at Usher's quay Police-office,oll Monday, with indecently exposing his person in the streets. Gilroy is a Scotchman ; he produced a discharge from the 6th Dragoon Guards, to whklrregitnent he said he bad belonged. Ile has b een committed to take his trial for the offence at the Ses sions. ll'e trust that this will act as a warning to a person of respectable connexions, who is in the habit of indecently insulting females in the Arcade, and whet places of public resort which he frequents. TO TUE EDITOR OP THE DVISLIN MORVINt. POST. Sin —On behalf of Denis Aloaney, you are requested to give the following expl Ination, in refniation of the statement which appeared in your paper of Monday lait, under the above heading : It is true he was summoned to appear on Priday last before the Lord Mayor. on an alleged complaint against him, but when he attended. there was no information or complaint whatever before his Lordship t of course the matter terminated. He was then turned into a witness, and on the spot was served with a summons, to appear at four o'clock next dad•, " t. gire evidence tinder the provisions of the sereral Batter Acts in jiArre in Ire land ;" nor was there then, nor is there now, any infor mation or complaint to warrant such summons. lie took the summons to his attorney, (who is answer able for this statement) and who advised him it was a frivolous and ridiculous proceeding. and that he would be wasting his time in attending its directions ; hence came the report in your paper of Monday last, in the shape of proceedings before the Lord Mayor.

(PROM A CORRESPONDENT 05 A MORNING PAPER.) On Wednesday, between four and fire o'clock, the negotiation which has been for some time going on be tweets Messrs. Alexanders, of the Ipswich Bank, and the " borrowers" of their notes, terminated. It was stated on a former occasion, that a restoration of the property was offered for 6,0011/. and that the bankers ma noenvred until they hail made arrangements likely to de feat the aims of those with whom they had found it so difficult to deal. Itaing called in all the black notes, they took care to stamp those which had passed throat'. unhallowed hands, and to refer the possessors to the banking-house at Ipswich for satisfaction. The refer enees have not been very great, and it is suppoted that very fewof axe stolen notes are in circulation. The •• bor rowers," alarmed at this oiearnr• and the consegnenees, held a meeting and discussed the necessity of abating in their demand, and after some sharp words upon the subject of the division of the spoil, came to the deter mination to offer :1'6,0001. worth of the notes for the snot of 1,5001. The gang sent this proposal to Messrs. Pry, the London agents ; and added, th it as for the deficiency of 3,000 L selsitb their necessities bad obliged them to circulate dirdergh the country, after an honourable di vision amongst the several gentlemen conzerned in the tion, the bankers ha-I no doubt mad e tip their minds to be st that loss. They moreover expressed regret at the very cramped state of their own finances, whieli led them to offer any compromise. The hankers, telt., hail been put to consideralde inconvenience by the ex. ertious of the gang, nerved to barter with them on tha terms proposed, an.f they accordingly received their notes back to the ebovententioned amount, fivine. the hands of the confidential agent the 1,50111. required. The bankers, however, have made no compromise of their duty to the public. A hint was thrown out that it would be very desirable to have their assnreme that no prosecution should be commenced against any of tits parties, in the event of any future dieciornre, cal- nl to " tell " against them, but no promise was mad-. all the offer of a reward for the rotivicti•sn of the thieve:, still remains good. The thieves, it therefore app ..trq, are resolved to make every effort to disposeof the which, although they boast they have passed through the country, the bankers are convinced they still retai n with very little diminution amongst them, and the: at:ti• tivity of the firm to reeover the rest of their property will undergo not the slightest remission. It is imposs:- Me to conceive what argumentative discussions the air. ferent members of the gang, which consists of nine clever daring fellows, have held upon the subject. The calling in of the black notes and the substitution of the red, a mode of prevention to which some of the adven turers suspected the bankers would resort, have given rise to a scheme for the change of their genre.' opera tions and too great care to guard against their i oze• • natty cannot be taken. Some of thetas have realized in a very few trips a very comfortable independence, and they seldom go to any trouble except where the tenapto tion is very great. The negotiation was not condode.l, as may be readily iniarined, without the intr.: p050i..., of lawyers, who it is supposed hare nut forgotten the u selves. CORN•EXCIIANGE. t)c•r. 11.—Ossiag to the condos,• mice of contrary winds the supplies are still prevented from cousins; in, and the price of 'Wheat remains as on last itlontlay's quotations. There is but very little good Barley left tor sa!e„ and the prier is nearly staminal. —Pease and Beans fully inaintain last Jlrrhet day's pukes. —Oats sell well to necessitous buyer,.
