The LANDED INTEREST of IRELAND. We hare seen the Bill now -pending in Par liament, for collectinj the Duties on Spirits-dis tilled-in Ireland in large Stills, and may venture to affirm, that a Bill could Hot ; be devised better calculated to stifle one of the principal.branches of Irish' . manufacture. Waste of the material, an immense expence of manufacture, an incal culable tear and wear of utensils, and above - all -the deterioration of the Spirit, are all comprised in this Bill. There are two systems by - which-' the duties are' collected from the Distilleties-L, one is styled the Survey System ; the other the License system. Here we have the extreme of both, - notwithstanding that they are incom patible, and the one renders the other unneces sary it is like condemning a culprit to be hanged and shot at the same time. The Bill is of English manufacture, we have no doubt, and suggested by the English Distillers'; and after the injustice that Ireland has suffered for so many years 'back in the Spirit intercourse with England, and is still Suffering in the face of the Act ortinion, it is not difficult . to divine the real meaning and intention of it. The Dis tillery Law of Enghind is a survey systein of the mildest kind, leaving the Distiller at perfect liberty to conduct his manufac ture in the least expensive mode. Indeed, so few are the restraints upon him, that there is no doubt he has it in his. power to Evade the ditties to a great extent, were he so - inclined. On the other hand, by this Bill, restraints, restrictions and penalties, are so multiplied on each other, that- the-Distillers assert-, and we believe with truth, that it is impossible to- carry on their ope radon& under it: We have no doubt that it is sufficient to deter any man of capital from en gaging in the business ; however, those . who are .already in the trade thay'be compelled to con tinue it, rather than sacrifice their establish ments. -Surely the Landholders of Ireland will -never stibtriit to such glaring partiality, or suffer a manufacture, so intimately connected with the best interest of the country, to - be so . grossty de pressed and Bacrikeo to the interests of art.:Eng lish faction. It'is full time, however ] they were exerting themselves on the subject. Before the Bill comes before the House, we shall revert to it again, and give the public a comparative state • ment of the different regulations affecting the trade in England and in ireland.—(Dithlin - Cor re,ipoi4ent.) BRAIIAM, it seems, has declined all the country engagements which have been offered him, think ing that he will reap a better karvcst in the hay Market. . An article, dated Leghorn, the 21st ult. an nounces, that Sir TnomAs MAITLAND, Governor of the lonian Isles, sailed frOrn that poit a few days previously for Naples, .on board an English frigate. . The Marquis of WORCESTER is so far recovered from the effects of his late accident, that his Lordship is now able to•take carriage airings. A . gentleman of the name of SAXTY, from . Lincolnshire, was struck With apoplexy whilst at the ball at Harrowgate,.last week, which de prived him of speed' and motion; dancing of course immediately ceased: Mr.'SAxty died at his lodgings three days after. This unfdritinate circumstance threw a considerable damp over the• gaiety of the town.

Yesterday, the Earl of ILiattoWnir, Earl BATHURST, Lord StrtmouTn, and a select party of distinguished personage,s dined with the Earl and Countess of LIVERPOOL, at their seat, Combe, wood.

POETRY. ON A PICTURE BY SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE.* From Poems by the Rey. GEORGE CRO-LY, SATAN. •" SATAN dilated stood."—MILTON. Prince of the fall's ! around thee sweep The billows of the burning deep. Above thee'loW'rs the sbllen fire, Beneath thee bursts the tlamin spire. And on thy sleepless vision rise . Hell's liviug.tioudS oT agonies. . . tut thou dost I;ke a mountain stead, The spear unlifted in thy hand : Thy 'gorgeous tiye„—a boinet shorn, Calm into utter darkness borne ; A :tidied giant, stern; sublime, in despair,. and scorning Tithe. On thy entl'd Ilp is throned disdain,' That may revenge, but not complain : Thy mighty cheek is firm, tho pale, There'smote the blast of fiery hail. Yet wan, wild beauty lingers there, The wreck of an archangel's sphere. Thy forehead wears no diadem. . The king is in thy eye-ball's beans; Thy form is grandeur nnsubd ed.. • Sule Chief of Hell's (lark multittide. Thou prison'd, unfurgis•en Yet fit to Waster all but Heaven. • '' This Picture has long heen considered as one of the noblest works of modern Art, and the manlier in which the Poet has here entered into the conceptions of the Painter, and exemplified its - excellencies, is strongly egpreisive c.f a kin dred spirit, and strikingly illustrates the opinion of Dr. JonNsox, that Geniiis .consists of large powers of the mind accidentally turned to a particular direction.

COBOURG THEATRE.---A- new piece, entitled The Smuggler's Dog, or the Blind Boy's Murder, was brought forward :last night at this Theatre. It was written by Mr.Ninscattff, and does cre dit to, his dramatic talents. The scenery, &c. does .credit.also to the enterprising' spirit of the . Manager. The chief hero of:the piece is of the Canine Species, and it may be fairly said thitt the Theatres in general. would be better entitled .to public support if many of their biped Petfor mers possessed equal sagacity. The house was so crowded, and the applause so warm, that . the Dog is likely to improve upon the adage, and to have many days. THE HON. CAPT. SPENCER.—It is with heart felt pleasure ,we inuounce a full confirmation of the contradiction • which .we were yesterday enabled to give to the . cruel statement of the nt leath of this gallaand meritorious young Offi cer. -A letter was received in town ) yesterday, by the Hon. FREDERICK PONSONBY 7 from Cap tain SPENCER himself, in which . he states his sur prise that a rumour of his death should have been afloatat Buenos Ayres;, no Such. event as a quar rel or duel having taken place between Wu' and his First Lieutenant, The report is said Co have originated from the circumstance of the dead body of the master of a merchant vessel having been landed, who had lost his life in some scuffle. We have only to add, that the proof of the false hood is indubitable, from the fact of Captain SPENCEIt'S letter being dated the 18th of June — the date of the cruel report being that of the 22d May. Some accounts state that the atrocious fabrication was propagated by the mate of a Spa nish coaster in the River Plata ; 6ut= from what motive it is impossible to gUess. - TO the noble family of SPENCER this happy contradiction of the cruel report must afford upspeakable.happi ness and delight.; and most cordially do we con gratulate them on the occ . asion.

More Witnesses arrived in the evening, and the crowd increased. It was ultimately thought proper to remove the Witnesses to some other place ; and they were divided into three parties, and placed at three pUblic-houses in the city.

The Cowl.'r said, that the being a Member of Parliament was no excuse whatever from serving the office of Grand Juror. An exemption was, indeed, sometimes granted as a special favour,. or as a matter of courtesy, when there were enough present to form the Jury—not without.
