IrRIV ATV. CORRE , :fIVENCE. Doctor Stoker, of Trinity C.illege, having re. fused, as one of the Senior Fellows, to examine the Can fidat-s, at the late exAmination for Folio w shrps, from certain scruples, ati.iog out of his knowledge of the marriage of one of the Cundilates, the Board carried the matt,ir with so high a hand, that they came to a strong division upon the question, whether he hid or had not for feitel his Fellowship, by his refwal. The Board con sists of the Provost and seven s:iiinr F.:llows. The Members present, divided three and three. Doeur Magee gave the casting vote in D gm- Stokes's fa vour, and thus secured him in his Fellowship. What would have made his case the harder, had the vote been the other way, Dnaor S•okei had been labour ing under a suspension of three years, which had just expired. Dior Hume, of Grosvenor street, London, who is here on a visit to his friend., wi. h his fair bride, had, a few days since, the honour of presentin:: the Works of the Rev. G. H. Glasse to our University. They consisted of his Greek Tragedies, Caraciartai, and Simon Ilgrniatel ; come Hebrew, Greek, and Ita lian Epigrarns,anl his admirabletranslatinit of the po pular song, of Ilis, Baiky, into Monki .h L ttin. were most graciously received, and dep isited in the magnificent Library of the College. The continued absence of our amiable Vice-Qll -en is much lament ed, and more particularly, as it is believed, that her return is quite uncertain. Our buildings g on as rapidly as before the Union ; although the fashion column of every Lonim Newspaper shows how large a portUm of our Nshility and Gentry that mea sure has transferred to Englaiid, as their principal residence. The Earl of Pc.werscount, his been, fur a long time past, confined to the house, at his beautiful seat, at Powerscourt, near Bray, by a violent attack of the gout. His amiable Countess has been unre mitting in her attentions. It wit, I am certain, give great pleasure to many of yoar fashionable readers, to hear, that Hugh Dillon Massy, Esq. and his arniahle Consort. arrived, in parilect health, at their beautiful seat of Danass, near Limerick, on Monday last, after an absence of several months. Mr. Massy is the eldest son of Sir Hugh llillon Massy, Bart. and Mrs. Massy is the sister of Col. Hankey, of the City of London. Mrs. Peter Li touches the patroness and protector of 'eke widow, the orphan, and the distressed, is dispensing, at her seat at Delgany, in the county of Wicklow, among the poor, all the bles ings under heaven, with is the compass of one of the largest fortunes in tlis coun try. Mr. Peter Latouche, whose heart, like that of his amiable consort, is open as the day to melt ing charity, is in good health and spirits. General Hamilton returned to his command in Dm y, im-nertately after the breakin7 lip of the camp at the Corr.r:h. ,;n the 9th. The he itch of the soldiers and horses was very indifferent ; but I do not know that it caused the removal of the camp, and the dispersion et the force:. It is generally believed, that Hampden Evans will be permitted to live in England, upon giving security for his future political condua. The emigration tat our people drank is a general complaint here. In one instance, however, we have to blame ourselves for encouraging it —I mean, in the case of Lord Castlereagh. He had better provide himself with an English borough. He has no chance of a seat in the representation of this country. So well understood is the operation of halt - Amy in this city, five patients were operated upon last month, in the Meath Hospital, by Philip Crampton, Esq. and all of them are perfealy reco vered. In my last, I think, I mentioned the deatlt t of Mn. Ormsby. the wife of the Rev. James Ormsby, the worthy Vicar of Bray : she has left four children, all daughters. The 3lerrurius, Rose/moo, from London, is condemned at Tobago. The Hipiepi r from Grimsby, for Quebec, VMS captured on the 27ii August, in long. 27. by the tit. Peter Spanish privateer, who, after plunder ing. permitted her proceed on her voyage. The Briteit Q ueen . Rowe, from London, is arrived at Antigua, a.. d . is expeCted to be condemned. The Union East Indiaman, which was run foul of, lost her bowsprit, and was prevented front sail ing with the last convey front Cork, is ordered to Portsmouth, to sail in company with the Aibioa. They ate both bound to Madras; the 41Lisia is ex petted from the River. The brig Alexander, belonging to the Ceylon Gee vernmeAt, foundered in the dreadful gale which pre visited at Columba, on the 7th January ; the Com mander, STEPII •, Lieut. Astsexm, of the temhurgh regiment. and the whole crew, except one, perished. Letters from on board the Channel Fleet, dated off Ushant, the 10th instant, state, that on the pre ceding day the Revolatiotemoire, Stomata, and ano ther vessel, reconnoitred the port of Brest, when they found that the whole of the enemy's fleet, consisting of 21 sail of the line, seven frigates and corvettes, had gone into the inner harbour, or what is called Brest water, to shelter themselves from the ands of the late strong winds. Our fleet, at that time, consisted of nineteen sail of the line, and scrotal frigates. . . . WOBURN CRICKET MATCH. fait Thnrsday. the Matqais of l'avisroce, and his brot'aers, Lords Jone and WILLIAM Rtaset.x. Lord At exa M DA% G-isino , i, and other young Nnblemen, being on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of neo• ratio, at Woburn Abbey, a cricket match was made their amusement, on the lawn, in the front of the Abbey. Ten of his Grace's servants were matched against eleven of the young men of Woburn ; soon after eleven o'clock in 'he fnrenorin, the p fifties hav ing refreshed themselves e•ith bread Aral cheese and ale, in a large marquee pitched on the lawn for the purpose, they set to, and exhibited much play, the game continued to be keenly conie,ted until near five o'clock, when viCtor), which h ti 'leen hitherto doubtful, •leclared in favour of Lis Grace's servants. The Duke and Duchess, Lord SACKII LL E., and se veral other persons of distinCtion, were speEtators, doting a great part of the time. At the conclusion of the game, the Mis:qais and Lord Got:DON retired for a short time to the Abbey, to dress ; and,on their return, sat down with the players to an excellent cold dinner, provided in the marquee ; and these young Noblemen afterwards spent the evening in the ut most pleasantly and harmony with their guests. The novelty of the scene dew a great concourse of persons round them after dinner, all of whom were regeled plentifully with his Grace's strong ale, cold meat, bread and cheese, &t.. His Grace and the Duchess sent down three or four times in the cow se of the evening, to enquire, and to supply every refreshment which the party or the speCiators wanted. It was near two o'clock in the morning befote the parry broke up; many songs were sung by the different persons present, with the artless manner of some of which, the young Noblemen ap peared much pleased. RRIGHTuII, SEPT. IG. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES ar rived here last evening, at seven o'clock, to the great joy of the inhabitants, as well as the Nobility, of whom 1 never remember a greater number any season, than now honour this place with their pie. 'once. Tare Countess of IirIiCEILT bespoke the enter tainments at the Theatre no Saturday night, which were attended by the whole circle of Nobility. Miss LAMBE'S Concert, on Thursday, is excethd to be one of the most brilliant of the season The first theatrical cartwaii;n is nver, much to the credit and profit of the Manager, Mr. Baum' om. We understand, a new corsopany, principally from 'the Haymarket Theatre, begin the second, on Tues day. The we.tther is uncommonly fine, and the Steyne crowded with b••aury and fashion, every day. The libraries are also well attended. The troops are kept on the alert. The Marquis and Mar chi mess of 131.4N0t010 made us a very short visit. The bets made on the foot-race are not yet de cided. It was the fain( us juvatien Pullet, of Hal lingwood, Lancashire, who ran with the Black r.f the 4th Dragoons ; and he now offers to run one qitarter mile for 500 guineas; and the 300 yards, last run, for one hundred, to decide them.

DOVER, St PT. 16. The Voicario bomb, which I stated in my lever of yesterday to have w iled from the Downs to the westward, sent three boats on shore for water a .c 1 other refreshments. From these 1 am informed, that the Vacate°, after leaving this place yesterday, steered direetly for Boulogne, and stood along shore for some leagues to the southward of Boulogne, up to Calais Straits, almost within gunshot of the co ist. The great encampment, in the neighbour hood of Boulogne, has totally disappeared; nor could they discern a soldier upon the heights, where they used to be seen in.thousands. Not a ship, of any description, has attempted to come oat of the har bour, except a few fishing-boats, that lie close along shore, and where they used to observe many sculk ing along shore, from one port to another, there is not now the appearance of a single sail ; and all the brave tars, from that quarter, with whom I have conversed, ale unanimously of opinion, that all the troops, in and about the neighbourhood of Bou logne, have been removed. However this may be the case, from what I have heard trom all quarters, the enemy have still left a sufficient number to man the batteries, and prevent us from making any im pression upon that past of the coast. It is expeCied, that a considerable number of the troops intended for the secret expedition, now vs immediate contemplation, will embark from this port. The Agent for the Transport Bood, resi dent here, has been to Deal to receive his instruc tions ; and, I am informed, that he has desited a re turn to be made to him of the number of wherries, !allies, boats, !cc. which can be furnished from this port, for the purpose of convt)ing the tto •ps on hoard the transports, which are expelled in these roads. 'The embarkation. it is said, will imme diately take place. and some regiments of cavalry and infantry will be shipped from this harbenr.— The grwer part of the 11th Light Dragoons being qoartereick at Folkstone, Hythe. and the neighbour ing towns, together with General Moore's brigade, upon Shorn Ciff, entirely consisting of regiments of the line, makt it most probable, that a, large force will be sent from this, particularly as there is no possibility of embarking them frosts Hyths, Folk stone, or any of the adjacent sea port towns.

'firs case was appointed to he heard at eleven o'clock yesterday morning; hut. on account ot the non-attendance of Mr. GLANCY, V:I10 was Counsel lair the Defendant, the hearing was postponed to a future day. Mr. Laws, as Conned for the Informant, pre posed, that pro forme judgment shhiild he given for his client ; and that, as the writ of rertiarars was not taken away by the Aft, a case 'tumid:be made out for the opinion of the Court of K.nes-dessch, to which this judgment should be subjel. Mr. ALL era. the attorney. for the Defendant, said, he could by no mean , agree to the removtl of the case to the Court of King's. Bench. unless he first had the opinion the Magistrates, that the case involved so much doubt, there was a neces.ity for it. The expense, he said, would be very great, and it would give the Pla:ntilf, aim was a common informer, an opportunity of devouring unsuspicious men, and proceeding to a greater extent with his peculations. The :Mots , in his opinion, was rat'ier in clined to favour the prliosiiin of Mr. Laws; as he said it was a very denibtful matter, the A 9 beirvx made at a time, when a particular destription art persons were in the eie ct the Legishaures bat. nev-ri heless, he did not say that it might not et. tend to the present case. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Henri Hull was brought before Mr. Alderman LEA, on a charge el obtaining money under false preteeces. Mr. Williams, master of the Swan with Two Necks. Lad-lane, stated, that the Prisoner had lodged at his house for some time, and passed for a Captain of an American vessel ; that he had been in the habit of frequently borrowing money, which he had always repaid till lately ; that, on Monday evening, he had come home. and two women with him, whom he 4.:11ed his nieces. The Prisoner was going to take them up stairs with him ; but this the Witness obje9ed to, desiring them to walk into a parlour. The Prisoner then went lip stairs to fetch something lie wanted; and whilst was gone, one of the women stated something to the Witness. which induced him to think the Prisoner was an im postor ; and. under that persuasion, he sent for an Officer, and gave him into custody. Ann Hall stated, that some time since the Prisoner had called on her, and represented himself as an American Captain, and brother to her father. Es sail, he had property to a considerable amount at New York, and his aSfealion for his late brother making him feel an interest in her happiness, if she would go over to America with him, he svnul I pro vide for her comfortably. Sire had consented, and. by his advice, had disposed of her furniture, and placed the mosey in the hands of her pretended uncle: having, however, lately ha I occasion to sus pelt he was an impostor, she had insisted in having the money back again, and went home with him on Monday, for the purpose of receiving it Having stated these circumstances to Mr. Williams, and the Prisoner having no money to give, she had him ape prehended. The Prisoner had also, by her credit, ho:rowed a five pound note of t publican in the neigW:oarhood of tirosvenor-squate. She Prisoner being called on for his defence, did not attempt to make any, but said, he was a native of New Yolk, and wished to be sent home. He is an old man, apparently upwards of 6a, and was very genteelly dressed. The M ant s r r ve y much regretted, that, Irnen the nature of the charge, he was not able to punish Lim ,n severely as he des:rred. He, however, c-m -m tteil him to tie House of Correihion for a month, as a vagrant. I The Kiva has been pleased to appoint Gtorto* Warsos, Esq. a Commissioner for mtnigiitz His lkla.rect v's Revenue of Excise, in the room of Enwa en iswca, F.sq. deceased.

No trial of any interest took place yesterday, ei ther at the Lon eon or Clerkenwell Sessions ; the latter were adjourned till Fr iday. A most daring robbery was lately c. mini ted at Lamberton, in th,. Queen's County, ton seat Of Lady I .. .MTS.—The robbers (the .e or more in number), having entered Lady T v no's bed-chamber window, by means of a Ladder, about one o'clock in the morning, compelled her Lislyship to condutt them to en apartment in a distant part of the house, which they rifled of cash and bank-notes, to the annou - t of 2001. and upwards. A very liberal reword has been offered by the ki , gh Sheriff and principal inhabitants of the Queen's County, for the apprehension of these daring offenders. I'he inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark pay every :twt of attention to their npv I: fends at St. Margaret's Hill, wishiog th.m every possible success, and asiure them, nothing shall be wanting to promote their Office; and further, that they will recommend the same through the counties of Kent and Sussex. The sudden reverse which has taken place in the politics of Eurupe, has imparted art ardour amongst our countrymen,which, perhaps, never was equalled. The certainty of a continental expedition ha; abeady revived our declining rtanutaaories, and every pw - sun seems eager to enp,age in some new and advan tageous specuiettoo. tae leas: hazardous way in which money can be employed, is undoubtedly the purchase of Tickets or Shares in the present Grand Lotiery, and the prospett it holds out of ar,oaol. Prises, and many other rich benefits, is georra:if acknossledged to be superior to any that has ap p-ared for m soy years ; the eonsiderarion, also, that those great sums may be obtained in a few days. and that no other such opportunity con exist in the peanut year. is an induceatent not easily resisted. -st■ th On Cil of at Of.
