DREADFUL °commaNcE.-.-On Monday even. ing week, the house of Hugh 111u1lany, of Carrowbagh, near Enniskrone, in the county of Sligo, was observed to be enve. loped in flames, and In a few minutes a heap of rubbish alone was visible. On digging in the ruins, horrible to relate, the bodies of the unfortunate owner, his wife (far advanced in pregnancy), and three daughters, miserably scorched, and wholly lifeless, were discovered! A cow, heifer, and pig, shared a like fate. SO, violent and rapid were the flames, that the people assembled round the scene of destruction, among whom were Mullany's two sons, were unable to render any assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. As none of the inmates survived, it cannot he known how the accident occurred—it is supposed, however, that the fire communicated to some flax which had been stored in the house, and caused the melancholy catastrophe. On Tuesday se'nnight, a shocking affair hap. pened at J. Gordon's, Esq. at Iteddisham.hall, near Necks : two of his men servants, the coachman and footman, disagreed, when, in the irritation of passion, the coachman stabbed the footman in the body, which occasioned his death.—(Bary Pest.) EDINBURGH, OCT. I.—. Yesterday -forenoon, the new AcadeMy- built by subscription, near Stockbridge, was opened for the first time. The boys, with their teachers, assembled in the different class-rooms at 11 o'clock, and short ly after proceeded to the elegant hall, of an oval shape, in the centre of the building, the gallery and the body of which were crowded with gentlemen ' upwards of 690 of who'll were pre. sent. The teachers took their places at a table in the centre, and the boys were seated around them. About one o'clock the Directors entered the hail, accompanied by a number of gentlemen, among whom we observed, Sir Patrick Murray, Sir John Hay, Sir , George Clerk, Sir Robert Dundas, Sir - Henry Aloncreiff, Sir John Sinclair, Bishop Sandford, Henry Mackenzie, Esq., James Moncreiff, Esq., Henry Cock burn, Esq.,V; - Mackenzie, Esq. Rev. Dr. Davidson, &c. &c. Sir H. Moncrieff was requested by the Directors to open the Academy by prayer. The Rev. Baronet then offered up a most impressive and elo quent prayer for the success of the in stitution, which was intended for the instruction and training of youth, and that the same good aeons might follow which had attended the variotfa sefitiols al our. nation ; that the youth who might be reared in successive generations in this school might be a consolation to their fathers, and that from this seminary men might arise who should fill stations worthy of the education they had received; and that when the present generation were gathered to their fathers, the in st i tut i on m i g h t ong flourish, and remain a monument of the liberality and spirit of those who had erected it. Sir WALTER SCOTT then rose. He said that the Di. rectors had thought it necessary that some account of the in. stitution should be given to the Meeting, and had im. posed upon him that duty. He wished that such a task had fallen to the lot of sonic other person better qualified than he was for the performance of it, but, as it was, he would attempt to discharge what had been imposed upon him. In such a meeting as this he need not explain the advantages of education, it transferred gradually one age to another, carrying along with it all their improvements. Our ancestors little sup posed that we would achieve such vast and wonderful disco. veries in every branch of science and the arts, and yet, from the spread of education, it may . be that our successors may look upon the 18th and 19th centuries as we do upon the 14th and lath. He need not repeat what is well known, that we owe much to the foresight of our ancestors, the bloody sword of civil strife had scarcely been sheathed, when they sat down to devise andriut in practice means for the instruction of their sue. censors. We here are imitating their example, the bloody sword is now sheathed, and may it long continue so, let us there. fore go on in the work we have begun, and as it has been said that education is a torch, let this institution be an evidence that we have lighted it for the direction of our successors. King James, who with all his failings did many praiseworthy actions, found ed the excellent school in this :city. It has become learly evi. dent, however, that it alone is inadequate to the greafincrease of the city, which, since the school was founded, is six times h mor l e p earn op ed ul i o n u d s vid T ua h l e s, gr ai e m a w t ed nu c m lea be tl r y o t f he pr n iv ec a ea te a s h e y hoo of l`l t s he a es tig t l a i . t bjjshment of this institution. With respect to the High School it had been imagined by some that this seminary had been set on foot for the purpose of injuringit. He had been educated in the High School and had a veneration for it, and he was cer tain and confident every one connected with this institution were actuated by no such unworthy motives as that ascribed to them. It was to institute a rivalry-;a rivalry among scholars-A-a rivalry among those who will one day be ornaments of the nation, and be the best defenders of their country. The Directors would have been well contented to have formed a union, but the obsta cles were of such a nature as to be insunuountable. Ile was of ed ld wniotht the nod bestat the helm l eo lop u e l d peti t t l i l o a n t w p o al ul i d no b r e os att w en o d o helm when he saw another vessel in view. The ge neral necessity of the erection of this institution was so apparent, that lie trusted the meeting would applaud those gentlemen w ho had taken an active part in the management. and also to the ateltitect for, the elegant design which he had raised, and to those gentlemen who had gratuitously given their time in superintending and directing the aff a i rs o f t h e institution. The Learned Baronet paid a handsome compli ment to the talent* of the differeut teachers. The institution, he said, were indebted to Oxford for one of her best scholars, a gentleman in the prime of life. Scotland was particularly dis-- unguished as containing the best informed men Of any country, but it was also remarked that she had produced few classical scholars. It was a saying of Dr. Johnson, that she was like a besieged city, where every man had a mouthful, but no man a bellyful. It w as sure l y, however, better to have a mouthful than to starve. 'With a vie w to wipe off this reproach, the Directors had made arrangements, and they trusted that by the means th e y h a d a d opted the scholars would be better grounded in the l anguages to fit them for the Universi ties, and particularly in a knowledge of Greek, and this at a time when their poetry was hallowed, anti the liber ty of that interesting country was almost achieved. It was also intended to improve the study of mathematics. An. other class, which: was a new one in our seminaries, was one of English literature, the principal object of which is to con nect the English with the learned languages, and by this means the pupil would become acquainted with the history of our country. lie highly approved of this plans it Was proper to know the Roman and Grecian history, but the history of this country, to our students, was of paramount interest. He would have the names of Wallace and Bruce placed alongside' of 31iltindes and Themistocles, and he would have Plodden and Bannockburn placed with Marathon and Platea.—The Learned Baronet then turned to the youth assembled, and addressed them, pointing out the great advantages which education held out. lie pressed upon them to prosecute their studies with their whole souls, for unless they gave up their whole minds to study, the labours of their teachers woull be useless. To what ever profession they might incline, unless they possessed learn. ing, they could never rise to eminence. A physician without learning, was a quack ; a lawyer without learning a mere for malist, and altogether unworthy of his profession ; anti a cler- Tman without learning, was like a so ldi er w i t h out a sword,— he surest road to temporal happiness was a well cu l t i vate d mind. It' they went abroad, learning would prove a solace In their hours of retirement. They were now entering into life, and he trusted they would remember that a man not young in Year endeavoured to impress upon their minds the value and importan ce of education. The learned Baronet was frequently applauded in the course of his speech, and sat down amid loud cheerin g , The Rev. J . AVIT.LI AMS , the Rector TOM He said that, after the eloq uent prayer, and the luminous explanation they had heard, nothing but an official call would have induced him to intrude upon the attention of the meeting, to endeavour to give a faint outline of the study to be followed. To imbibe in the minds of the students a love of the classics of Greece and Rome, who had left imperishable monuments for the imitation and instruction, not only of our age, but of all nations, to teach them to imitate the intellectual giants who have gone before us, would be the objects of their utmost attention. It was intend. ed to make Latin the groundwork of their instruction. They were not to make any innovation, but surely the coun try of Crichton and Buchanan should b e em i nent in Latin Literature. They were to teach Greek by means of th e Englis it by a h language, an4not by the met h od now followed of teachingjargon. The English language was to be attended to by a gentleman who was to teach its principles. In all the branches he trusted they were so complete, that they might be said to be a self-contained house. —(Applause.)— From what he had seen of his coadjutors, he felt assure d , t h a t the subscribers would not be disappointed. in the formation of the Academy. One boon he asked, that the public would not be hasty in their censure or their applause. He trusted, that in a short time, the Academy would not shrink in a comparison with the greatest Institutions in the south, not even with Eton or the Charter House, and that it would be the means of re viving the days of Crichton and of Buchanan. He hoped that the genius of the Scottish youth, which has reposed in the portico of Grecian literature, will be awakened, and proceed into the interior of the temple. lie flattered himself, that those educated in this place, would shed a lustre on it, classic.—(Applause.)—Ile then addressed the youths, assuring them, that nothing should be wanting on his part to render and render it them a credit to the country to which they belonged. Mr. HENRY MACKENZIE briefly addressed the meeting, but in so low a tone, that he was inaudible to the greater part of the meeting. The boys then retired to their class rooms, after which the meeting broke up. On Tuesday --- evening three trunks were stolen from Hawkins's Bristol coach ; and on the following day two of them were found under a hay-rick at Brislington. One had been cut open, and cash, notes, wearing and apparel, value up wards of 1004 taken out.—(Gloriceitcr Herald.) Plurnix Park, Sept. 25, 1824. Sin—l have to acknowledge the honour of the connnunica. tion which you have transmitted to me, on behalf of the Mem, bers of the Chamber of Commerce of Belfast. I beg that you will allow me to offer, through you, my best thanks for that communication. No Administration can be in different to such an expression of approbation of their measures, on the part of a Society of Gentlemen whose interests those measures affect, and whose intelligence gives value to their judgment. I hope I need not add, that I am duly and deeply sensible of the expression of your kindness towards myself. The shortness of my stay in this country, which I must leave (vegy reluctantly) to-morrow, renders it. unnecessary for me to offer any apology for not availing myself of your flattering in vitation. It would have been a great pleasure to me to witness the prosperity of your town—a prosperity which, I trust,. will lung progressively increase. I have the honour to be, with great respect, Sir, Your moat obedient and faithful Servant. GEORGE CANNING. Jourr S. FERGUSON, Esq. President of the Chamber of Commerce, Belfast. OUTRAGE ON COUNT SAN ANTONIO MARLIMR otrorr-STREET.—Yesterday a charge appeared entered in the watch-book of St. George's parish, Hanover. square, against John Chitty, for assaulting a watchman, and Robert Alsebrook, for endeavouring to rescue Chitty from the custody of the watchman. Lacy, a patrol, and Fox, a watchman, in Bond-street, stated that they were conveying Chitty, who had assaulted Lacy, and knocked him down, to the watch-house, about ten o'clock the night before, when Alsebrook came up, and attempted to res cue him; they could not, however, state any act or expression of his which could spew a disposition in him to do so. Alsebrook, in his defence, gave the case a very different com plexion. He stated, that as he was going towards his master's (Count St. Antonio's) house in Hanover-square, where he is in service as footman, he saw a man in the custody of the watch man Fox, and at the instant Lacy, the patrol, came running up, and struck the man a desperate blow on the back with a bludgeon; he (Alsebrook) remonstrated against such unneces. sary violence, and asked what the man had done, but in no other manner did he Interfere; when he was seized upon by the two watchmen, and dragged off to th e wa t c h-h ouse; wh i le going along, he told them whose servant he was, and requested they might let him go, as he had done nothin g; an d j ust at this time his master, Count St. Antonio himself, came up, and asked what was the matter, and they (the watchmen) also took him to the watch-house; but .when they got there, there was no charge made against the Count. Count St. Antonio being sworn, said, that as he was crossing from Brook-street towards his own house in Hanover-square, he saw a crowd of persons, and thinking that lie heard the voice of one of his servants, he went up, and saw Alsebrook, his footman, in custody ; lie inquired what was the matter, and what his servant had done, and said, that if he had committed any offence, or tnisconducted himself, by all means to take him to the watchhouse. These two watchmen, however, would give him no answer or explanation, but said if he did not go about Isis business, they would take him to the watchhouse too. He told them who he was, said that the man was his servant, an d he merely wanted to know what he had done, in order that he might bail bins or not, according to the nature of the offence instead, however, of giving him any satisfaction upon the sub ject, Lacy called out to the other watchman to take care of the other prisoner behind," meaning the Count himself, he sup. posed; and he was taken with the others to the watchhouse, but there was no charge preferred against him ; and dashing that his servant had been really guilty of no offence, he became responsible for his appe ara nc e . The watchmen denied that they took the Count into custody at all ; but said that he we nt vo l un t ar ily to t h e watc hlouse, and ased the Count, if he was a gentleman, to speak the truth, and say did they even lay a hand on him. Count St. Antonio said that they certainly did not lay h o ld of him; but be considered himself just as much a priso ner as if they had. • Mr. Davie, a gentleman who w as acc id enta ll y pass i ng at the time attended at the office to give his testimony. Hermit!, that he had seen the whole transaction from the beginning, and the account given by Count St. Antonio and his servant was cor. rect. The c,ontlict of the watchmen, he said, was scandalous, particularly Lacy, who, in the most wanton manner, struck the prisoner Chitty a desperate blow, after he w as i n custo d y . Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, said, that this was a case oras gross misconduct on the part of watchmen as ever came before him at this office. Whatever cause . there might have been for taking the prisoner Chitty into custody in th e first instant, there could be none at all for striking him in the brutal manner that was described, after he was secured; and, in consequence of this brutality towards him, he should now discharge him al together from the charge of assault. As regarded the servant of Count St: Antonio, there did not appear to be a shadow of folio. dation for the charge of rescue made against bins, or for taking him to the watchhouse; and the conduct of these watchmen was most scandalous in taking him into custody in the manner they F in a wnin prisoner. In fact, the wh o l e o f did. lint what surpassed all thei e r sru o och th f e u f au a mn et ti s ins o nt. f er a A b asn u t s go e na i vi n oeh th im eir ., him r s S e e it l ago u f, at n o i o r n to a w t a co l s e n a t s i s l i t e d t er 7e m a k t h i i i n i m l g g s a d h their conduct upon the present occasion could not be too highly reprehended, tookintile transaction,pi w ticulal h y e o a u t l o d f b l e at: u y s ; pe a n n d d ed fo fm r n t e h s part u l a i e . tion for one month. The other watchman (Fox), who appeared htfonhould not be , s to him to have acted under the direction of La c y, he (Mr.; Dyer) should, on this occasion, dismiss, with a caut i on h ow h e rew' if n t t a rrn i sae n requested) should) be that guiltyth e of similar h n i i n i ls con elf d i u n ct fu t t i u te re p ; se forgotten'. Count Si. Antonio now Interfered, and Magistrate might do away with the suspension against Lacy. Ile was, the Count said, highly satisfied with the investigation that had taken place, and the justice done to himself anti his servant, and he did not wish the watchmen to suffer through his means, more than the reprimand they had received. He there fore.should feel obliged if the Magistrate would restore Lacy to his situation. Mr. DYER said, that as it was the Count's request, he should do so, and Lacy ought to feel muchobliged for the lenity shown to him ; and he trusted it would in future, be a warning to him how he conducted himself. Lacy was then restored, for which he expressed his gratitude to the Count and the Magistrate, and acknowledged that he had acted very wrong, but should take care not to do so again. ROBBERY IN HYDE•PARK.—Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a most impudent robbery was committed near the statue of Achilles, In Ilyde.park. A gentleman named Mackenzie, residing in Portland-street, Oxford -street, was passing through to Knightsbridge, when a fellow came up to him and requested to know if his name was Orchard. Mr. Mackenzie replied in the negative, upon which the other re. joined, " You are a liar, for your name to Orchard," and so saying gave a whistle. In a moment he was joined by two others, who began to strike Air. Mackenzie with their lists.— Mr. M. ran away, but when he reached his friend's house at Knightsbridge, he found he had been robbed of his watch and silver snuff.box by the assailants. Mr. Mackenzie gave imme diate information at all the Police Offices of the circumstances, with a description of the thieves, and we understand one of them is well known to the officers. We mentioned in our last, that a respite was received at llertford gaol for Davis and "'orris, Davis, it appears, is respited until the 3d day of January next, and Harris, alias Long Ned, during his Majesty's pleasure. Both of these persons, it will be remembered, were convicted at the last Assizes with a man of the name of . Green, for the burglary at Earl Cowper's stewards.—(Bucks Chronicle.) ,r, LINSEED OIL.

DISH has also preserved all the popular Points of attraction in the last Scheme, as No Blanks, All Sterling Money, &c.

Notwithstanding our regret at witnessing the miseries to which they were subjected, as we Were on friendly . terms with the King of Ave, we could not interfere. Brit now the officers of his Burmese Majesty have invaded our indepen dent territory of Caliar, and there and elsewhere have commit.; ted such outrages, and held a latihTuage so arrogant and hostile,. that we are at length at war. The . wished -for opportunity of relieving yourselves from the hands of your olipressors has now arrived. Our victorious army has crossed t he boundary, and ere long we will drive the barbarians beyond the Banuahlroond, nor cease until we restore peace and security , to your distracted country. Come fOrward, therefore, without fear for the present or the future. Supply our troops with provisions, for which ready money will be paid, and fail not when you have an op: portunity to wreak your vengeance on the remnant of those who have caused you so many calamities. We are not led into your country by the thirst of conquest ; but are forced, in our own defence, to deprive our enemy of the means of annoying us. You may therefore rest assured that we will never consent ,to depart until we exclude our foe from Assam, and re-establish in that country a Government adapted to your wants, and cal. culated to promote the happiness of all parties." AWFUL EXPLOSION. The Calcutta .17,11n13tt11 , of the 15th of April, gives the following account of a dreadful accident which occurred on the sth of that month, in the sifting-houses of the po%vder-tnills at Papal-now,- near Allahabad:---4- " The powder-works of Papamow are situated on a rising ground, about three milesto the northward of the cantonment s of A llahabad. About half-past four P.m. the deep silence of an Indian day was broken by a sudden and awful eXplo- sion. The sensation in cantonments was, as if a masked at. tery of great guns had opened at the very doors of the bungo lows. Every - house shook to its foundation, doors flew open, bUrsting their bolts and bars, and strewing the floors with glass. On rushing out to ascertain the cause, a most awfully sublime sight met the eye. Rising on the clear blue sky to the north, a %nighty condensed cloud was beheld, upon which the sun shining brightly, showed distinctly in Its womb, cloud rolled on cloud, in wild-uproar and agitation. 'rite direction of the cloud put the cause *beyond a doubt, and we has tened to Papamow, where we witnessed a most heart-rend. ing sight.• • Two sifting-houses, said to contain about three hundred barrels of powder, by sons unhappy cause (which, I suppose, it will be impossible ever to ascertain), had exploded, and nearly forty persons connected with the works had been blown up, and scattered around, in a man. ner too horrible for description ; whilst their wives and chit • dren, with loud lamentations, were endeavouring to discover the shattered remains• of their relations, hair only of whom were found alive, and of whom hopes are enterutined. lung range of the new high wall," building all round the work, was blown away nearly by the foundation ; trees lay torn up by the roots, and the moth of all the mills were shattered. Orem alarm was entertained for Major Lindsay's family, whose house, as superintendant of the mills, is at a short distance.— We were rejoiced to find them safe and unhurt. Mrs. Linda say's escape was wonderful ; she had retired after dinner to a small sitting-room, with two glazed doors fronting the works, anti was reading when the explosion took place. The doors, which were secured by iron bats, were torn from their hinges, and one of the bars thrown to the opposite side of the room, while the glass, like a shower of hail, strewed the floor of that room and the adjoining hall. Such was the pow& and effect of this awful explosion, that in the fort, five miles distant, doors were tore open, and broken apparently by greater violence than in the cantonments." WEST INDIA COMMISSION% EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TRINIDAD, DATED JULY l 2: " You will have observed, by our Island Ga: wile of the 7th instant, that his 11Iajesty's Commissioners of Legal Inquiry had taken their departure for St. Lucia, where it is to be hoped, for the sake of all who may have an interest in that island. that their labours will not be one-tenth of what they had to contend with here. " Mr. Maddock arrived, in company with Mr. Dwarris, its January last, and they proceeded immediately to business ; the latter gentleman was, however, obliged to return to Europe for the recovery of his health ; but Mr. Henry, the senior Member of the Commission, arrived previous to the departure of Mr. Dwarris. The investigation continued without intermission, so that nearly six months were taken up in hearing complaints ; and it is a well-known fact, that numbers who felt themselves most seriously aggrieved, were deterred from exposing their sufferings, under the impression that the authority of the Com• mission extended only to the inquiry as to the existence of abuses, without any power to grant redress • consequently,' the dread of giving o ff ence, whilst being obliged to remain at the mercy of the party against whom they intended to complain, naturally kept many silent, who would, under more favourable circumstances, have greedily solicited a hearing. " The visit of those gentlemen to this unfortunate colony has given rise to hopes which every upright man connected with us must wish to see realized ; and these hopes have been strengthened by the knowledge of our fate being in the hands of men of honour ! Mr. Henry possesses superior qualifications for colonial investigation, having for some years presided over the law courts of lkinerara ; be was also employed in Italy us one of the Commissioners of the late Queen of England, and afterwards as a Judge in the Greek Islands. This practical knowledge of foreign laws, combined with his expenence.in England in the prosecution of colonial appeal causes, rendered him, in all probability, the most competent person that could be found in Great Britain to fill the situation of senior member of the Commission for Legal Inquiry in the colonies. a c ti " ti ! e r n en r n u t possess for h ness, and patience in investigation, combined with the beat feelings of a liberal English gentleman, made him also a nuist desirable person to visit this colony on an evatessy of such lin , penance. very attention powerful to b leg ust, " It was highly satfActory to witness the cordiality which existed between those gentlemen ; and on the subject of the great question which involves the fate of all West India pro perty, their opinions are such as must always be looked for from impartial and upright judges. " It is believed that those gentlemen proceed from' St. Lucia to Demerara, and from thence to Jamaica : and the only sp prebensien that remains with the inhabitants of this colo n y, it with regard to the time that must elapse before their distressing case can be laid befere hiirMajesty'e Ministersaind consequently before the friends of the colony can have the benefit of an ex amination of those gentlemen before Parliament."
