IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUGUST 12.—We think we shall soon have to congratulate the Reader on the total re moval of the _lnsurrection Act from the Coun ties of Limerick and Cork, and, if so, from the country in general. We hope and trust that the last consequence of the late disturbances has been witnessed at Limerick, at the execution of one Mullane, convicted of ►he murder of Major Dr. Blake, the R. C. Ar c hd eacon o f . D u bli n , i s a b out to pro real to Rome. It is said that during his stay at the Christian c capital l h e w il l organize a new Collegiate establishment for supplyin g the Irish mission with a Priesthood peculiarly suited to its wants. The Itigistrates of the County Cork are to meet on. dal, to to consider the expediency of withdrawing the Insurrec tion Act from that county. The Insurrection Act is withdrawn from the Barony of Clon lisk. King's County. The approvers against the murderers of the Sheas, one of whom enlisted after that transaction, and was serving in India, whence he has just returned, have arrived in Clonmel, to pro secute at the ensuing Assizes. C° "wEll's INguEsT.—Yesterday a quarrel occured be tween a private of the 19th Regiment, named James Kenny, and a private of the 221 Regiment, named John Constantine, in the Barrack-yard, South Great George's -street. The par. ties fought on the spot, and, melancholy to relate, death ensued to the latter. Kenny was immediately taken into custody, and brought to the Head Office of Police. The body of the de e,;ased was conveyed to Mercer's Hospital, where an inquest was held on it. The Jury returned a verdict, that they could tot come to a decision whether the deceased came by his death fromia the effects of a blow, or in consequence o f fit s , t o whi c h it appeared h e h a d been subject.

There . were produced at the dinner a dish of New" Zealand sPinage, grown at the Botanic Garden. This sort was much approved of, and as it is not apt to run soon to seed, like the other varieties, it is believed will prove a valuable addition to our esculent vegetables. Mr. Mur ray (the Proses of the Society) has kindly offered to distribute small portions of the seed among the donors or mernbers of the Society, either personally, or by the treasurer, Mr. B4, Trongate. The display of fruit, flowers, aud brown,vessu- Visaed all former exhibitions, and the visitors unanimously ex , preeassed their admiration of the excellence of the vegetables, the uty . of the flowers, and tempting richness of the fruit. A fine bouquet of annual flowers, an uncommonly large coxcomb, and two beautiful seedling double pinks, attracted particular .attentien.(Glavoiv Courier, Aug. 14.) i Tux RrrottT CouaTEous.---In a horse cause which was tried at York the other (lay, Mr. SCARLETT, in addressing the JUry, said, that cc if the horse was a roarer, he only corresponded with some Counsel, who, as the Jury well knew, roared sometimes ; and they probably would hear 4Tle roaring soon.".

BRIGHTON, AUG. 15.—The Duke of Ironic returned to the Pavilion to dinner on Friday. His Royal Highness was on horseback yesterday, accompanied by the Earl of Alvanley, who returned to the Royal York Hotel the evening before. Colonel Cooke.is returned to the Pavilion. To-morrow a small but select circle of the Nobility will have the honour of dining with the Commander-in-Chief, at the Palace, in celebration of his Royal Highness's nat al day. His Majesty's trades people, on Thursday evening, illuminated their residences, in grateful welcome of the anniversary . of the nativity of the :Sovereign ; and the hilarity of private, sociable, and rejoicing parties, added to the general cheerfulness in alfparts of. the town. The front of the Theatre was irradiated with " G. It." in blazing characters, surmounted by the Crown ; and at the conclusion of the Comedy, The Rivals, the collective calps dranzatique presented themselves to the audience, and sung the national anthem—the plaudits which followed shook the house. The Rapid steam packet, from Dover, returned to this place some hours before daybreak yesterday, and, with the Rey. Mr. Colwell and family and their carriage, Mr.ll 4 oilman and family with a carriage, and in the aggregate about 40 passen gem; at 1 at. again stretched for Dieppe. Tlie Union packet, with twelve passengers, put into Newhaven, from the opposite coast after twilight on riday. The Duchess of- Beni con tinues at Dieppe, and with her Royal Highness is the Duchess of Reggio. The Duchess of Angoitleine is also mentioned as enlivening Dieppe with her presence. The Duchess of •Berri, it is understood purposes returning to Paris in the course of the present month. All hope of beholding the French Monarch on the coast this year has vanished.'

MARRIAGE IN /UGH LAPEL Yesterday morning, Aug. lli, was married by licence at the Parish Church of Cranford, the lion. George Charles Grantkv Fitzhardinge Berkeley, sixth son of the late Earl of Berkelei, to Caroline Martha, second daughter of the late Paul Benfield, Esq. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Hughes, Rector of Cranford. The Countess of Berkeley, Mrs. Benfield, the Ladies Mary, Caroline, and Emily Berkeley, Earl Euston, Capt. Seymour, Henry Wombwell, Esq. and the Bridegroom's brothers were present. ARGYLL Rooms.— Last night Mr. FLEat• MINGTON, who, we understand, has exhibited his talents AS a VENTRILOQUIST and an IMITATOR of Theatrical Performers, in several provincial towns, with great success, brought forward a similar entertainment at these Rooms. As a Ventriloquist his powers are extraordinary, and allowing for the timidity which he must have felt in appearing for the first time before a London audience, he also displayed consider able ability in' his imitation of some of our chief actors. His manners were gentlemanly and interesting, and if he had reserved his Ex hibition to a later period of the year, there can be little doubt that he would have attracted a larger audience than appeared on this occasion. He produced altogether a very agreeable me lange, and excited much applause. There is one circumstance which adds much to the surprize which his powers as a Ventriloquist excited, for though various voices, and at several "distances, were heard, there was no motion of his lips, so that the deception was complete. Upon the whole Mr. FLEMMINOTON presented a very amu sing'miscellauy, and seems well entitled to pub lic attention and encouragement. THE VICE•CIIANCELLOK.—We have again the pleasure to notice the progressive improvement of this Gentleman's state.—Sir ASTLEY COOPER is sued a bulletin yesterday, announcing that the patient was going on very favourably.—The ope ration was of the most formidable description ; and the heroic firmness evinced not a little sur prised the operator.

On Sunday night he slept for five hours, and the tranquillity produced by this relief, to the mind as well as body, has had the effect before stated.—The cards of condolence have been numerous.

A Grand Fete was given yesterday in honour of the Birth-day of his Royal Highness the:Duke of YORK. The arrangements of the evening were similar to those which it was lately our pleasing duty to notice, connected with the celebration of the 12th of August. Numerous tasteful devices ornamented the walks, the area in front of the Orchestra, and the northern extremity of the Quadrangle, where the inscrip tion—" The Duke of York and the Army" appeared. Mili tary ensigns were displayed in different parts of the Gardens, comprehending the standards of all the nations in Europe. In addition to the amusements which demand the attention of the company sans intermission through the evening on other occasions, an additional object of interest was last night sup plied to the successful competitor of candidates for aquatic ho nours, who yesterday sailed for an elegant silver cup and cover, the annual gift of the Members of the Coronation Fleet. The vessels entered to sail were the following.— No. Vesztqs` Names. Owners' Names. Belonging to. Tons. 1 Royal Eagle - 'l'. S. Stokes . Rotherhithe -11 2 Friendship - R.

Cowes - - 9 11 Comet - Thomas Hooper - Pickle Herring 13 Only nine of the above vessels appeared at the time for sail ing the match, the Arrow and th e White Rose being unable to get up in time. They started from Blackfriars-bridge shortly after four o'clock. The Dotterill and Spitfire got foul of each other, and the Royal Eagle took the lead at once, which she gallantly kept to the end of the race. Th e F or titude kept near her, but lost way in p assing through Batters e a-bridge, both in going and coming. The struggle concluded at about half-past seven, when the Royal Eagle came in first, followed by the Fortitude, which was about two minutes behind. The Comet was the third ship. The winner, Captain Stokes, of Ruttier hithe was received with loud acclamations, an d th e race af forded high gratification to thousands of spectators who lined the banks of the river. The Royal Eagle has been built for river sailing. This is the first time of her entering the lists on such an occasion, and of course she has fully answered the expectations of her proprietors, by the successful debut of yesterday. The Concert embraced several novelties. Miss Tunstall sung a song entitled " Men will have their own way," with great effect. The song itself is a very pleasant production, and her harmonious voice and clear articulation were heard in it to great advantage. It was unanimously encored. Master Longhurst sung a new song, " What will become of me," with much applause ; as did bliss Waite " Love and Reason," and Wil liams, who has distinguished himself here so much by his ex cellent comic singing, had a new song entitled " The Long acre Beauty." Before the commencement of the thud act, the Cup, a very elegant piece of plate, was presented to Captain Stokes, by Mr. %Villiams, who addressed the Company first, on the occasion, which had imposed upon him the grateful task of rewarding successful talent, and afterwards the hero himself as follows: 44 llEttlies and Gentlemen—l am authorised by the Proprie tors of these Gardens to present this Cup to the fortunate win ner of the Sailing Match this day. I feel sincere pleasure, Sir, in presenting it, and in congratulating you on your nautical talent and success. In the first place permit me the honour of saying —' Here's a health to all good lasses,' and in the next to offer to all ;.resent good wishes, generous and boundless as the ocean. Captain Stokes, in drinking your health individually, I hope your future exertions may be crowned with success equal to the present." Mr. STOKES made a suitable acknowledgment; and the glee of " Here's a health to all good lasses" was immediately per. formed amidst the plaudits of the assembly. The evening's amusements closed as usual with a magnificent exhibition of tire works, and the astonishing efforts of Mr. Blackmore on the tight rope. The attendance was most nu merous, and included many fashionables and persons oldistinc tion. Great good humour prevailed, and not the slightest dis turbance occurred in the course of the evening. Indeed the chances of disorder are greatly diminished by the very superior accommodation provided by the Proprietors, and by the suavity and activity of Mr. Simpson, who, throughout the evening, is here, there, and everywhere, endeavouring to promote the general harmony. . MORTIMER, THE ARTIST. MORTIMER, the artist, whose works are well known, used occasionally to frequent " The Feathers," a house which formerly stood at the hack of Cranbourn-alley, where a subscription was proposed one evening for a penom in distress. While a collection was making in the room, he drew with pen and ink, round the margin of the ►►ewspaper, several con►po sitions, and when it ca►ue to his turn to subscribe, he gave the paper, which was put up to auction on the spot, and sold for 5 gu►neas. On one of the stolling parties projected by Mortimer, he and his companions contrived to wander about until they became uncertain which road to take. They at length arrived at a cot tage, the owner of which, a poor woman, declared she had not any thing fit for them to eat, but readily offered to go for them to a neighbouring village to purchase refreshment, to which they agreed. During her absence, however, they contrived to peep into a pot which she had left upon the fire, and on opening it they found a joint of veal. After abusuing the old woman for her greediness, they instantly made a meal of it, and when she returned with some bacon and eggs only, they reproached her for keeping back the contents of the pot. "Ah l gentle men," she exclaimed, " I would have freely given you that, but it was part of an old cow which died of a sickness yesterday, and I thought suck folks as you would not eat it." Mortimer was a bon vivant, and this propensity frequently car ried him into company, of which he was always the life, at which time nothing was too extravagant for him to undertake. It is said that he once absolutely ate a wine glass, of which act of folly he never recovered. Mortimer's picture of the Battle of Agincourt, engraved by Ryland, is a copy, with a trifling alteration, from a very fine drawing in chalk in the possession of one Tassert, of whom he borrowed it, and when charged with the piracy, excused it by raying he could not lose the idea of the drawing. lie was so fascinating a companion, that Barry declared he was afraid to trust himself in his company. Several months before Barry began his great work in the Adelphi, Mortimer called at his house, wishing to see his sketches for those pictures, bur he could only get admission as far as the passage. "Go alo ng ," said B a rry, " you are a c l ever scoundrel . ; I'll not let you see any thing I am about ; I ilon't want to see you these seven years; go home; you have ideas enough of your own—you shan't have any of mine; go along, I say, I won't trust my. self with you, and pushed him out. of the house, for fear if he stayed any longer he should be overcome with his plea santry. • One winter's day, when the horizon was so dark as to render the practice of the arts Impossible, some of his brother brushes called on him. "What a day ! who can work ?"—" Notody; as it is so bad a day, let us see if we can't make a goocl nightof it," said Mortimer. Candles were brought, and the shutters closed at noon-day, and over several bowls of punch they spent their time till the hour of midnight parted them. OLD A CTOItS.—Mr. WEST, who was a dancer and subordinate actor in the time of GARRICK', is DOW in existence at a very adVanced age ,• and - W E wyrzEit is still living, residing in Wild-, passage, Drury-lane, Ina state of imbecility and extreme indigence, in his seventy-sixth year. JONES, KNIGHT, BLANelfitltD, MEADOWS, RUNT, Miss Forma, Miss SMITIISON, , and M rs . BONN, are at present performing i n Li ve r poo l.. JAcont, a print-dealer at Ber-, lin, has formed a collection of portraits of this great R e former, amounting to no f ewer th an twelve hundred and five ! a far greater number, we apprehend, that has ever fallen to the share of any other individual that ever ekisted. These effigies are arranged in various classes; the first of which Consist of portraits properly so termed, comprising many to be found in title-pages to va- . 'ions works. 'l'he second dais contains historical plates in which portraits of Luther occur ; the' third, satirical portraits and caricatures; the fourth, representations and monuments, medal lions, &c. containing effigies and likenesses of Luther. It is to be hoped that this valuable collection will be preserved entire, and become public properly. P OBTIt Y.' STANZAS. Is this the harp you used to wake, The harp of other days ? Or is it that another hand Amid its music strays ? No ! the same harp to the same hand Yields up its melody— The song, too, is the very same, Yet they are changed for me. They are the same—but, oh ! how changed Since last I heard their tone ; The change I vainly seek in them. Is in my heart alone. Nay, fling not back thy cloud of hair, Its roses are unbound; See, latLA, see thy carelessness, They're scatter'd o'er the ground Yet, but an hour, when first the dew Fell from the twilight star„ How tenderly these flowers were culled., And now how crushed they are I And must I in those roses read 'What my heart's fate will he ? That when the prize is once posseat, How light its worth to thee. Oh ! all in vain thy small snow hand Awakes its wildering strain ; Thy dark eyes breathe the soul of song, To me they turn in vain. I heard thee wake the deep harp chord* For other ears than mine, I saw the light of thy soft eyes Upon another shine. The heart must speak or ever words My depth of lore can tell; But eyes, hand, heart, must be all mine, Or else, farewell, farewell ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING ROOM, Avo. 16.

COURT OF, CHANCEItY.-,,(ruli DAY.) WARD OF COURT. LATZ*ARD V. SCHRIEVER. The LORD CHANCELLOR was this day attended by the respective parties'in this cause in his pri vate room, when the marriage settlement was laid before his Lordship. Some conversation took place as to certain parts of the document, and his Lordship in the end was pleased to make the order, confirming the arrangement entered into, and the parties left the Court with satisfaction. • A NOVEL SUITOR. No small degree of mirth was excited this morning by the appearance of an Arab servant in -the Court, bearing in his hand a letter, addressed, in Arabic, to Lord John Eldon, High Chancellor of England. Having been introduced to the Officers of the Court, - Butt, Esq. his Lord .ship's mace bearer, was requested to speak to him. Du looking at the letter, Mr. Butt, like many others, could make nothing of it ; but the mystery was soon cleared by the messenger say ing it came from Salmi(' Khan, the Nabob resident at Calcutta. Several Counsel were standing near, and the question now was, whether the document should be handed to his Lordship or not. It was, however, resolved that his Lordship should be made acquainted with the circumstance, and the messenger was directed to call at his Lord ship's residence for an answer.

ATTEMPT TO POISON. Some days ago an attempt was made to poison a shopkeeper of Marsham-street, Westminster, named ,Roberts, by a female whom he had taken into his service about six weeks ago. He had missed some articles of dress since she became his servant, but no suspicion was entertained that she was the thief, although her master had hired-her without a character. He sent her upon one occasion for atone meat for the dinner of hie family, but sunposing that it was not fair weight, he order ed it to be weighed. The quantity proved to be extremelYtle licient, anti lie. mentioned, his determination to " pull ep the butcher" on the subject. lle however, desired his servant to make Some broth of the meat, but be took bur little (lithe de licacy, as he footid that. the last was peculiarly disagreeable. The woman in reply to his complaint, told him, without being at all confused, that there was nothing objectionable in the broth, and that she had been as usual careful in makingit. ' A person who was at dinner observed, that sho gave a veryslight quantity to the child, and that she wok still lets herself: r. Roberts asked whether the acrid taste of the broth was not soot, but she answered that nothing Offensive had got into it. In the evening she absconded, taking with - her all her own clothes and some of her mistress's. Her box however contained some evi deoce of guilt of another kind, for in it were found several du pliCates, t'rom the examination of which, icappeared that She had been in the habit, ever sinee she entered the house, of steal ing her master and mistress's clothes and pawaing . them. In the middle of the' night Mr.'Roberts was seized with a burn ing sensation of the stomach, and incessant vomiting far some hours ; nature however prevailed, and in the tnoni ing the symptoms had abated considerably. When he stated the circumstances, and his sensations after having taking the broth, to a surgeon,he was informed that he hail eef tainly. taken poison. His child had been also affected with vomiting, but the attack Wei comparatively slight. The woman took care before she left the house to wash all the vessels into which the broth had been poured. She has hitherto evaded •all a!tempts to apprehend her. It is believed that she had Wel some time before a pauper in. St. Giles' parish.
