Hand.bilhs had been published through the thy, giving notice of his intended departure, and calling on the Roman Catholics to join in the precession. At eight o'clock, a band of music appeared in front of his inn, and struck up the grand Irish air, " Erin go bra." The people soon crowded roui.d them, but not in such numbers as were wont to constitute the usual audience. A fevr mintres after eight o'clock Cobbetr showed himself at the window, without waistcoat sir cravat, and spoke a common-place speech, full of promise— brief and bitter. Be concluded by thanking them, in a tone of voice that showed very considerable feeling. He appeared really affected—softened and sincere tot the first time. The crowd melted—the very women ' s MIMIC% were hushed into sorrowful si. tem—het last bow was met with the loudest and must mulls! cheer ing. A few standards were then handed out of the window. The hand and banners formed In processional order. and moved MI slowly to the lively air, " Over the hills anti far away." Ili. voters came next, in ranks of ten—their arms locked, and their necks decorated with white and green ribbantle, from which hung medals in Britannia metal, bearing on one bide a likeness of their favourite, and the woods, "William Cubbett ;" on the other, " The Poor Man's Friend," within a wreath of laurel.— These were followed by the Catholics, wearing pink ribbands. Of this sect, there v ere present no mote than fifty, and these appa rently of the working class. Several M. thodtsts and Dissenters joined this part of the procession. Next came another body of voters —then, in an open chaise and pair, Cobbett, two of his sons, and a couple of friends, and after the chaise a tumultuous rabble, running, pushing, tumbling, scrambling, and s:niggling with each other. to approach the side and get one last shake-hands from " the pour man's friend." My poor Billy behaved like a man to them ; unlike the proud fastidious AVM; (Stanley), who, on Monday evening. threw hack with contempt the outstretched hands of those men to whom he owed his clectiun—to whom he had bared his heed but ten minutes before—nay poor Cobbett stooped down to his enthusiastic poor friends, and clasped their honest hands with a warmth, and cordiality of tone and gesture, corresponding to their own ar dour. But the women, the women were the souls that showed their attachment. Ever enthusiastic, ever devoted in every cause they adopt—religion, politics, or love—they mounted the back of the chaise—they wanted to enter it—they clung to hion—caught his hand, kissed it--and would keep it altogether (if it was the same thing to him)—praises, thanks, farewells, blessings—be. nedictions, sounded and resounded from every sweet tongue. in every dialect and modification of the Lancashire barbarism , th e weaving lames of Preston proved themselves as faithful to the Green cause as the ladies showed themselves true to the Blue. This was the state of affairs till they la al marched about a mile tram the town, when it was notified that the chaise was about to proceed at a more rapid rate, and that the procession should ac company it no farther. The multitude opened a way,the chaise moral quxklr through them—one universal deafening shout arose through tto still air of evening —hats, hands, hankerchiefa (very few of the latter), sticks, and aprons, waved over the heads of the people. Cobbett looked honest and pathetic—bowed, waved his hat, put his hard to his heart, and bowed again and again ; and 1 fancied I could perceive a tear glistening in his little, laughing, cunning eye —I am sure I did. The chaise dashed away, not quite unaccom pitied two girls flew after it, mounted up behind, seized his hand, and, sticking steadily to the carriage, showed every ten efency to become his travelling companions to London. t This however, (thought Cobbett) is no go—a joke is ajoke ; but as to your coming to London than's going too far with it ;" so I.e gave one of them his white h andkerchief, and to the other his white and green cravat, which he wore round his neck. The fatripatriots jumped on; after a hearty squeeze, and re turned to their companions proudly waving the tokens of their' yolirucal atttetion. The chaise disappeared on the turning of the load, and Cobbett gave his last look and his last farewell to Pres:on. The multitude returned to town in the same order, the band I.iaying, There's nee luck about the house sin' our vile T• 1114 emit the Preetoa election, and here mr't terminate for rtLe Witham Cobbett's chance of entering the House of Coni- I stated in my first report that the number of person% qualified by age and residence to vote at this election was f1,t400.

You are aware tg ir Zel l ibination of Absentee I'cers have attempted to tone a preiccit of the Ctnscatuore House upon the people. In consequence, the enthusiasm of .he people has been cached to the highest pitch by this attempt on their independence. Lord Ennismores freeholders, since their arrival in Sown, have been br.rracked in a torn store in the rear of the Court-house, and a rant of the police put over them. A few minutes ago, about one hundred of hoed Ventry's tenants were brought in, under a guard env police, Major klullins and R. Rowan, Esqrs. Magistrates. rtdolg at their head. Colonel Crosbit's freeholdms. in a large body, had prev,ously arrived, with flags, green boughs, B.e. The parties ~.et near the Courthouse, when a scuffle immediately commenced. Stores were thrown, and one of Lord Ventry's tenants was pulled tiff ht. , horse. A party of the Hifle Brigade had previously been placed in the corn store, and orders were given to them and to the Vince to bee. The tir.t few shots were mpposed to be blank, hut they neon began with ball, when six men were shot dead, and as Mu., more wounded ; two of the men were shot in their own houses, and a father and son in the street. Of those shot. I be lieve only one wax actively engaged in the riot. Colonel Crosbic went to lisnner's Inn, and told land linnismore his conduct, in uttering nut the military, was rejtionly, and inKtantly horsewhipped him.

The intoxicated fanatics wholollowed in this reprobate procession, exhibited the wild and furious aspects of demons rather than men, of ttreatures cofleeted for the express de sign of being the agents of any outrage which they may be ex cited to perpetrate, and who panted for the mandate of havock. Another exhibition of the like sort ofFerded religion and loyalty with equal scandal. A squad of liberal ragamuffins proceeded through the streets, carrying a large green flag, with a white cross in the caner. It is quite unnecessary to descsqt upon this double symbol—of the remintseenes of 1798. and the holy liberality which is working out new convulsions and disasters—a day so disgraced with such sights as these ended in violence and outrage. There were, until a late hour of the night, liberal mobs in various parts of the city. In College-^reen Mr. Hamilton's Committee-norm was attacked, and the windows shattered.

COUNTY OF I,I3IERTK: Friday being appointed by the High Sheriff. for the purpose of proceeding to elect two Representatives in Parliament for the county of Limerick, at an early hour every avenue leading to the hustings was crowded to excess by persons anxiously awaiting the commence ment of the proceedings. At half-past eleven o'clock. Mr. Lloyd, the new Candidate, ac companied by Sir Aubrey 1)e %'err Hunt, Bart., Colonel Monsen, of 'Ferenc., the Knight of Glyn, Michael Purnell, Esq. of ',in field, and several other gentlemen of the greatest respectability, landholders in the county, appeared on the hustings. Colonel Fitzgibbon soon after arrived, accompanied by Thomas S. Rice, Esq. 31.1': John Bolton Massy, Esq. High Sheriff of the county, and his Deputy, Mr. Cuthbert, at this time made their appearance on the hustings, and were shortly followed by Major O'Grady, and some members of his family. Enwsnn Cno K eu, Esq. of Ballinsguartl, rose, and put in no mination Colonel Fitzgibbon. THOMAS S. Rice, Esq. ALP. seconded the nomination. The lion. Colonel Frrzniunos next appeared in hunt of the Imstings. 1i hen the popular clamour had partially subsided, he proceeded to address them. Ile shrub' trouble them for a very short time. It was well known that when a young man, in 18111, untried, he first presented himself to their notice—that in two years alter he was again re-elected. Ile had since maintained their in terests as much as lay in hit power, and he would venture to say that the trust which they repotted in him was never betrayed. Every vote which he gave might be looked to, and he was sure among them could never be found one single vote against their country or themselves. Much, said the lion. Gentleman, has been done ; but when i say much has been done, 1 beg leave to add, that all is not done. In vain. and In vain, we legislate without having the entire accomplished, which will never be the case, without the an qualified Emancipation of my Roman Catholic countrymen. (Cheers.) The lion. Gentleman was loudly cheered throughout. Mr. GABBETT, Of Catherlinc. next rose. lie said be was about to propose Major O'Grady as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. (Cries of " He is net, he is net.") Mr. O'Grady was a resident country Gentleman, and he (Mr. Gab bet:) thought no man better entitled to their suffragts. (Cries of " There is.") Mr. 1). Lrows, of Crown, seconded the nomination. Major O'GRADY rose and said, Gentlemen, when lost I came be fore you, the cause which I espoused was one in which the entire weight and respectability of the county were enibedicti ; it con. eluded much to your honour, and was. indeed, to me most flatter ing. I then hail oily professions to stake, tut now you can judge of my actiJcs. 1 'must say, that I did not expect a contest but preferment comes with too great facility. Notwithstand ing every opposition, nothing can move me from observing the same line of conduct toward, the county which I have always adopted—a line of conduct which, however erroneous it may ap pear to you, was dictated solely from principle, and from no sinis ter motive. I represented the Catholics as well as the Protestants, fairly and honestly, as they ought to be represented. You have had promises made you, but promises coming from any quarter, be it ever so respectable, ought to be received with caution. I now stand betbre you, and ask you, have I not discharged my duty as ; your Representative fearlessly and honestly Colonel blorrst:et. proposed Mr. Lloyd as a props! person to be selected as their Representative. The KWIGHT Ur 61. v w said that he felt great pleasure in se. conding the proposition of that Gentleman. Mr, LLOYD ruse amid loud cheering, and spoke as follows : Gentlemen. I return you thanks for the flattering manner in which you have received me. 1 ant now rendered less diffident in conse quence of hearing some of the most respectable individuals who surround me lavish their praises on a person yet undeserving. You are now called upon to exercise, or rather discharge, an imperative, serious, anti vital duty--it is to nominate your Representatives ; and if I should be so fortunate as to be chosen by you as one of them, I shall endeavour to asset t your rights in the best manner nay humble rowers will admit. The High Sheriff' then called for a show of hands, as a mark of the people's approbation towards the respective C:mtlidates. We could easily distinguish that a more numerous display of hands was made on the name of Mr. Lloyd being tuentioned than that of Major O'Grady. SECOND DAY.-SATITRDAY- Close of the Poll.

G. R. Chappell, and Co. of Manchester, manufacturers, lately received a letter from a com mercial house in Ireland, containing enclosed a draft upon a banker. The letter was charged with triple postage; and 011 application being made at the Post Office FIT the recovery of the overcharge, Messrs. C. and Co. were informed that they could have no redress, because the sheet of paper in which the draft had been enclosed con t inert not only a letter, but a statement of account betwixt the two I o ISCO. The account was written at the topof theshect, and under it a letter commencing thus: " Gentlemen,—We are in receipt of yours of the 2. sth ultimo, and now hand you a statement of your account, as it appears on the fete of our ledger, by which you will perceive," Rte.—Being desirous of obtaining the opinion of a higher authority, however, Messrs.

" s — The Law O ffi cer of the Department has given it as his opinion, that the inclosed is not a merchant's account within the meaning of the Act, so as to tender it chargeable with separate postage.

The general subscription for this purpose, we are sorry to observe proceeds rather languidly, owing no doubt to the supposed amend. ment of trade; it his, however, reached a height which must make it rank amongst the oblest acts of British benevolence; and when it is known that tli,tress is on the increase, in consequence of the renewed depression of trade, we feel satisfied a fresh impetus will be given to public charity, and that the stream will again flow in recruited abundance. By an advertisement in the London papers of Wednesday, it appears to amount to about 1230 W., and by the same medium we learn that the Committee have made the following amongst other grants:—To Ilaslingden for Newhall Hey, and ad. joining townships, 1001. ; to Colnc, 3001.; to Little Hutton, near Bolton, 150/. The Rev, the Vicar of Blackburn, as Chairman of our Local Committee, received last week a letter from the Secretary to the General Committee, of which the following is a copy : MANUFACTURERS' RELIEF COMMITTEE. " City of London Tavern, June 6, 1826. " Slr,— . l am directed by the Committee to convey to you the in formation that, for many obvious reasons, they are desirous that the relief afforded to applicants should, whenever at all practicable, be given in provisions rather titan in money—and further, considering that gratuitous charity has a tendency to degrade the moral cha racter ant habits of the object relieved from temporary distress, the Committee are anxious, wherever possible, that some sort of labour shall be received in return for the assistance granted--the employment which the Committee feel disposed to recomuncno would be the construction of footpaths or causeways,—the repairs of Church or Market roads, or some such description of simple labour as might eventually promote the benefit and comfort of the poor themselves.-1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " W. 11. lIYETT, Secretary.

A copy of this letter has been sent to the neighbouring town. ships to which relief has been affiwtled, and we sincerely trust the suggestions it contains may be actcd upon.

LATE STORM. On Tuesday afternoon last, between three and four o'clock, a most terallic storm of hail and rain commenced at Uxbridge, at tended with much thunder and lightning. some of the hail-stones measured nearly three inches in circumference; a number of sky. lights were broken, and considerable damage was done to the green. house and hot-house glasses in the neighbourhood. It is nearly 39 years since such a visitation was experienced, at which time the hail-stones, or pieces of ice, measured from three to four inches and a half in circumference._ . . . . A very severe storm of thunder and hail was experienced at Ware on Wednesday last. About two o'clock P.U. it cattle so rapidly, that in a few minutes the water ran down the streets like a river, flooding a great many cellars and houses. At Amwell End, the bail destroyed nearly all the glass in the green-house of A. C. Bond. Esq., and many others have suffered from its effects. A lter the storm was over, there was an accumulation of hail-stones four inches deep, several of which, upon hung measured, were found to be au Inch in circumference. During the storm, the hail had a novel and most beautiful effect upon the water, for it came with such violence that the water was raised above a foot front the sur face, giving it the appearance of a river of fount.ins. The storm was heavy at Uppingham ; the electric fluid drove down part of a gable at the top of the town, and destroyed several sheep and beasts at 6 ret ton woods. At Oakhani, we hear awo man was killed in the street. At Duddinkton, the church was struck and the windows broken, and a pony and six pigs were killed. At Keisby, near Palkingnam, a valuable horse belonging to Mr. Houghton was also killed by the lightning. At Peak-hill, near Spalding, some farming buildings and stacks, the property of Mr. Morton, were consorted by the same cause. Lieutenant-Colonel Ilall, of the Albant Riding Academy, op posite Portland-place. Regent's Park, had 3/1 panes of glass broken on Wednesday, in his sky-lights and other windows belonging to the premises, and the horses in the stable were terrified beyond de scription.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL, JUNE 30. [Before the LORD CattEF JUSTICF. and a Special Juries.] PEGANI T. GOI)OLI'l AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover damages for an injury sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the violation of a contract by the defendants, entered into with him. The plaintiff was an Italian the defendants were foreign merchants, residing in London. If appeared that the plaintiff was induced, in 182.3, to come to thi country in order to enter into the service of the defendants. Afte he had resided with them for a sufficient period of time for them to form a judgment of his abilities, they entered into an agreement with him for four years, tit 4(H)!. per annum. Ile was to perform the duties of a French and Italian corresponding clerk, besides as sisting in any other ba-iness of the house. It appeared by the evi dence, that soon after this engagement was made, the plaintiff be. van to behave with a great degree of rudeness to his employers. Ile, betides, spoke of them to the other clerks of the house in a manner to excite disrespect. At last, after having refused to do several things that were required of hint, he wrote his employers a most insolent and impertinent letter, for which, and his previous rudeness and disobedience, lie was dismissed in 182.1. He then apologised for writing the letter, and offered to return and petit:inn his part of the contract. The defendants, however, declined to re. ceive him back into their service, and lie now brought his action for the breach of the contract. The question was, whether the defendants were justified in dis missing him. All the other clerks in the office were called for the defence, and they clearly proved the rude and disrespectful beha viour of the plaintiff towards his employers. The Lonu CutEr JESTICE, in summing up, observed that it was a mistake fir the plaintiff to suppose that, because he had an engh yetnent with the defendants for tour years, that lie could not be dismissed if he did not perform his duty, as even if he did not behave in a proper and becoming manner towards his employers. It was for the Jury to say whether they believed the account given by the defendants witnesses ; if they did, ►hey would find a vet. vict for them. Verdict for the defendants. ADA3ISOIY ✓. JARVIS. It appeared, in this action, that some years bark the plaintiff; an auctioneer, was employed to sell the effects of a man named So• mersct, whose assignee, Jarvis told the plaintiff he was. The plain tiff accordingly sold Somerset's effects, and handed over the pro ceeds to the defendant. Shortly afterwards the Commission under which the defendant represented himself as acting proved to be Illegal, and Somerset brought an action against the present plain. tiff for the value of his goods that hail been sold. Somerset reco vered a verdict for 1,0001., and the present plaintiff found himself out of pocket 1,105/. by the transaction. It was for this sum he sued the defendant, through whose representation and by whose orders it was he sold Somerset's goods. The facts having been proved, a verdict was found for the whole amount. GREAT WESTMINSTER DAIRY CONIPANT.--A Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held yesterday, at which It was unanimously resolved to take into considera tion the most effectual mode of winding up the affairs, and dissolving the Association.

Tea NORTH STAR.—ii r e gave on Mondjy an account of the accident which had befallen the North Star on Friday. In the course of that day, the Dryad frigate arrived from a cruise, and took up a po,ition most likely to be effectual in heaving off the North Star. The money in her was partly removed to the Rout. ney, In the Sound. and the ship was soon cleared of every thing weighty. By this time, however, the tide had receded, and left her high and dry on the Breakwater, a novel ar,d interesting spec ' facie, where she remained until half-past six in the evening, when ' she floated off, and was taken in tow by the Brunswick steam_ packet, which conducted her into harbour at seven o'clock; with the loss of a few feet of her false keel, and a little trooper, to the extent of the damage sustained. She was taken into dock, on Atom day morning, and 1:0 men were immediately set to work on her, end by remaining in the yard beyond the usual hours of labour, her eclairs were completed on Tuesday, when she was undocked, and yaiserdey towed out of harbour to the Sound. and traded last night for her destination. The master (Mr. Ilannaford) candidly admits that the accident originated in his having mistaken that part of the Breakwater which was immersed in the sea, to be the channel et the extreme eaten) point, and the warping buoy, which 'lief et its end, he knew not, by any public notice or direetions, tote dre•tairt. way channel buoy.

To give a detail of the various transaction , of his long professional career were unnecessary. To particularizt however, the act which most highly exalts his naval character. iv, should at once refer to his relief of Gibraltar, in 1762. The trans ports having been tlisrrsed, Captain Holloway was appointed bt Lord Howe to collect the convoy and take them under his charge " Remember," says his lordship, " fire file of England depen, on the relief of Gibraltar, and the relief of Gibialtar on the teat ports under your care." This indeed was an awful charge; b, .fizte qf Eneind hanging on the conduct of a 'tingle individual Captain Holloway, however, after exerting great j Appetit, promy titude, and decision, accomplished the momentous object. Those who are alive to the excellences of character as displayed in Oval, life. will readily offer their tribute of admiration to the many eini. mable qualities that adorned the life of this most worthy mar. : exemplary as a husband and a parent, a kind neighbour, ingentiou , without suspicion, without voile. liberal. friendly, he never teams! so happy an when employed in promoting the welfare of other:. His king and honourable life has been closed by an easy and a trimqui! death ; and let us hope that he has been called hence to state of existence white, we are sure, the " labours of Christ , love" will no: be forgotten.
