CUR RAGII CAMP. The sucampme;tWWchtoOltface on Thursday at the Curragh. in consequence of the judicious ar rangement made by our aaive, vigilant, and judici. sus Commander-in-Chief, Lord Cathcart, was car ried into effea with such prompt and simultaneou, movement, as to do him infinite credit, and greatly to stirpnsethose who are unacquainted with mikari exaelitude. 1 he c imp consists at present of 15,000 men, re gular, militia, artillery, and the British horse artil lery, together with a vast number of the Commissa riat, and drivers' corps. The line commences at the boundary of the Cur ragh, at the right of the Stand House, and nearly parallel with it, consisting of several regiments ot infantry both of the line and militia. At a short distance on the left, and below the Stand House, is a very fine battalion of infantry. Further again on the lett is an encampment of the Commissariat de• partment, stretching to a considerable extent, with abundant stores of bay, straw, oats, turf, and every supply necessary to their situation ; and on the left of the whole, adjoining Mr. Bowes Daly's lodge, are encamped the following cavalry regiments, un der the command of General Dunne, viz. the Queen's Bays, the 12th and 17th Dragoons, as well as a large detachment of the British Worse Artillery. In the disposition of those different bodies n it the minutest coufusion or delay took place. At the hour of twelve o'clock precisely the troops marched Intel the Curragh in various diteßions. in 7 brigades. each brigade headed by its respective Brigadier General. About on• o'clock the entire line, in the above descriSed order, was formed, and camp equi page delivered to each regiment, when the long roll was beat from the entire of the right and left ot the line, after which, in about five minute,, a camp was erected extending in length some miles. The deicaable state of the weather, the novelty, the grandeur, the proud and inspiriting nature of the scene, could not prevent a certain degree of gloom, from the general and sincere sympathy felt for the Commander in Chief, who had received by I express the affileding intelligence of his eldest son's (Captain Cathcart, of the navy) deaths who was suddenly, on the Jamaica station, carried of by the yellow fever. General Floyd is to command the camp. Lord Cath:at will be between Dublin and the Nineteen Mile House. The encampment i; so contrived as not to inter fere in any measure with the race ground. Lieuteaant-General Floyd arrived at Clonmell on Friday RPek, h wing completed his inspeetion of the Southern Military District. Tuesday last. he revle.Acl the entire of the troops which form that garrison, on the Review Green. The turn-out arrysngtt the journeymer. shoemakers has occasioned c u. derable orders to be sent to London for shoes an.t os, to the great injury of e4:p!'iy •rs The iocrease in price of such ar t:des n t..e conseq tent' of the new de mands of the covlhioators, will be from one to two s :things a pair en shoes, and from three to five itlings mots. The evil will not stop here : the .t.iVABCe in price will give a pretest to labourers and sexy ,nrs to be lo•tking t : •r big••er wages. Tuesday next, an a 'journment of the Q• trter 3.ssions wll Ise held before the Recorder, wire:. the •}fence of c'lmbination is !ik ly to engage the time of the Court the whole of that day. Cnmbinators think, n ing of the punishment of a f,:w months irni risonment ; to V e idle it is rather a gratificatii as those wh, are sentenced to imprisonnaent are sup pulled by contribution in the gaol, and in a manner very pleaving to thetri,elves.

MIDDLES Icli FJ.EC no DA v.—Sir Francis Burdett. during the early part of the day, WAS observed to poll mon. vows than Mr. hlainwaring ; but, at the closing of the poll the numbers stood thus : Fur Mr. M.AinAari Fur Sir Franci. Burdett . . . 203 . . . 21.3 Majority fur Mr. btainwaring Sir Francis, after the state of the p+4l had been announced, stood forward, as usual, to address the auditory; And spoke, in liuhs ta nee, us follows : " Gentlemen ! In the few observations I shall submit to your consideration, this day, I must beg leave to observe, with much satisf.u.ction, that the majority at present against us is greatly short of the majorities frequently obtained by my adversary at the last elation ; and I trust the state of the poll will have no other effed on my fr lends, than to stimulate their endeavours to place us in a situation that shall accord with our best wishes. Crintles men! when you recoiled .he number of so.. .s that went away yesterday without neing ex imined by the Sheriff, and those persons who would havd polled to day, if they had not found some difficulty and inconvenience in attending; 1 think you sill infer, that if they had not been absent, we should have stood higher this day than our adversary. I have no difficulty in believing, that those freeholders, who have not yet voted, will come up as early as possible with their eledive franchises; and when I . call to mind the number of persons who have said they will come forward, and have not yet been to poll, I cannot but entertain a good opinion of the termination of this contest, from the support I have to exped. Many of my friends, conscious of the majority that prevailed against me during the late elation, and of my success on that occasion, con ceive they are at liberty to suit their convenience, by coming forward at a more advanced state of toe poll. Such considerations account for the delay ; and when we recoiled how the poll stood upon the ninth day at the last ele&ion, and hose it stands now, we may fairly say, that Gentlemen may con sult their convenience, as to the time of coming ; but whether they come early or late, I know there are a body of men in my interest who have not hurried, under an idea that it will be time enough to afford assistance at any time during the fifteen days of this contest. I wish, however, they would put up with some inconvenience, and endeavour to accelerate our triumph, by corning to the hustings as early as they can. I am obliged to the free holders, and my friends in general, for feeling a necessary z upon this occasion. We know the nature of the contest between each party, when there is no motive big a voluntary spirit of independence on one side, and on the other interest and corrup tion. We should not be surprised if they bring their forces against us even more numerous than hitherto. Unequal as this contest is, regard it as I do ; regard it as a contest for the freedom of the county (Load oisp/asses). It is not a contest against me as a candidate, but against the liberty of this country. V ere of Na I No! by Mr. Maiitearing's friend., ruble red ! Tee I reminded from the popa . lecr.) " Gentlemen, the persons around who have Inter rupted me on this occasion,have constantly asserted the other candidate should be heard, and I have al ways been anxious that he should have fair atten tion paid to hills ; but this attempt on their part to prevent me from addressing you, spews they have no retard for order. (hes?re ! haw !) I shall take leave of you with repeating, I regard this as a con • test against the independence, liberty, and rights of Englishmen ; and while there is one foot of - tet land to stand on, I for one will Lever relinquish it." Loud and repeated cheering followed for a con siderable time, during which Mr. Mainwaring made an effort to speak. Ile commenced, with stating his satisfadion at the state of the poll; but the usual clamour continued, notwithstanding Sheriff Shaw endeavoured to obtain silence, and he quitted the hustings, without being able to proceed.

Ships arc daily expefted to arrive from several parts of India, which will shortly relieve the public anxiety. The son of a gentleman of the Custom-housr, at Plymonth, arrived on Monday, from Morlaix, where he had been at school.
