BAIN _BRIDGE, Esq. in-the Chair, took place yesterday at the London Coffee-house, where they adopted a Loyal Declaration, m hichin the course of a very . short time received between 60. and 70 signatures. A Public Meeting 'was held in the Public 'Office at Barnsley, on Thursday last, for taking into consideration the propriety of presenting a dutiful and loyal Address of Fidelity and 'Attachment to the King and our venerable .Con ,stitution, which was attended by most of the re !,spectable inhabitants of the town, Some Radical Orators attended, and complained, though the Meeting had been advertised several days, that they had not received sufficient notice. An Ad 'dress was agreed to, and has been signed by all the principal, and nearly the whole of the re spectable inhabitants. There will be a public dinner at Barnsley this day ; after which a silver -cup, with suitable inscriptions, will be presented to each of the constables, for their zealous, laud .able, and indefatigable exertions, in suppressing' the late insurrehtidns in that town and neighbour hood,--(Leeds intelligencer, Dec. 18.) • , The Gazetto of last night contains Loyal Ad dresses to his MAJEsTv, from the Mayor, Aldermen,.Bailiffs, and Common C.;onocil, - of the Borough pLiverpool ; from the Inhabitants of the Town nod neighbourhood of Liverpool ; from the Vicar:Churchwardens, and other Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Mary, -Islington; from the - Inhabitants of the 'Ward of Cheap,' in the City of London ; from the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Commonalty of the City of Coventry; from the inhabitants of the Town of Bridport and its vicinity; front the Vicar, ChnrchwardFns,.

On Friday .a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants, friendly to the pro m otion. of an Address of loyalty and attachment to his MAJESTY at the present juncture, was held at the Police-office in this town. The Meeting vas at first intended merely as a preliminary one, but inconsequence of a number of our townsmen Who attended, and the strong desire manifested to enter at once into a consideration of an Ad dress, I.

It was not found until all the nets, ballast, and bulk-heads were re , moved, and the lining ripped up ; and it is pre . sumed very specific information must haVe been given of the place of -concealment. There is no doubt that similar frauds have been committed to a great extent ; and the. Revenue offiCerS are active in their endeavours to discover them.

From The Bombay. Courier of the •15th of :—The accounts from Trincomalee, by the late arrival, give us the gratifying assurance that the insurrection in Kandy has been completely subdued, the Rebel, Chief, KABEKADUWEE, was delivered up by some natives of the north-east part Of Mateli, and, in fact, • that the whole island of Ceylon is in a state of perfect tran quillity. • Nesterday the Duke DE CAZES and Madame DE PIENTEU, his Excellency's Sister, arrived at their residence in Portland-place, from their seat at Harrow on • the Hill.

After dinner they set 'tint again for their seat at Harrow. Letters from Liverpool state, that the ship Merchant, for New Orleans, had upwards of ten feet water in her hold. She had gone into dock, and was discharging crates and a few dry goods; the remainder of her cargo 'consisted of salt,` • and iron. No doubt she will be condemned. It is supposed she has . broken her back.—Letters, likewise from Liverpool, mention the 'failure of an extensive house there. • DREADFUL DENTEI. OF NALDI.—NALDI, the celebrated Opera performer, we regret to state, was accidentally killed at Paris on Friday last. The,following• account of this melancholy event is•given in the Paris Papers of Saturday last : " Yesterday (Friday) evening, at half-past six o'clock, M. NALDI, buffo-performer at the Opera, met an untimely death by the bursting of a self-acting cooking apparatus. M. NALDI was invited to dine with his colleague, M. GARCIA, whop agreeably to his wish, shewed him this novel operation of cooking, when the . former impru dently stopped the heat regulator; an explosion instantly took place, and the lid severed the skull of M. NALDI, and laid him dead on the spot. Al. GARCIA received a wound on the head, but it is hoped that it is not dangerous. NALDI had made his first appearance about two months ago. In ltis youthlie was one of the first buffos in 1; aly." THE AR M.Y. COURTS •MARTI A L.—Seutence on Paymaster JOHN JENNINGS, of the 7th Dragoon Guards:— Horse Guards, December 4, 1820.

Upon which chaiges the Court came to the following,.de cision • . " The Court having deliberately considered the charges preferred against Pitymaster John Jennings, olthe 7th Dra•-- goon Guards, the admission of t he.prisouer, the evidence and statements on both sides, with the whole procedure, is of opi nion that he is Guilty ot,a misapplication of the several imps, as stated in the different charges, in breach of the articles of War ; and does therefore sentence the prisoner, the said Pay- Master John. JenningS, to be dismissed from his Majesty's service, and to wake good the several sums so misapplied - by him. The Court is satisfied, that the prisoner had no fraudu lent or improper int,•ntion in inserting in the pay-list, for tile period from 25th Deceniber, 1819, to 24th March, 1820, the charges making an apparent balance in his favour as men tioned in the third charge, as the said Pay List, when trans mitted by him to the War Office, Was accompanied by . a state ment from himself, as well us by certificates from the several Officers commanding troops, skewing how the balance actually stood. - ' • - • " The Court, on a review of the very high testimonials produced in favour of the prisoner, from such respectable soueces", also his long services and the destitute situation ot his numerous family , entirely dependent on him, beg leave to recommend the prisoner to his Majesty's favourable consi deration." , _ . I have to acquaint' yon, that his Majesty'was pleased to ap prove and confirm the . finding and sentence of the Court ; but, in consideration of the earnest recommendation of the Court in favour of the pisone,r, of the strong testimonials from every superior Officer of the Regiment, which he pro duced, his long services, and of various circumstances which appeared upon the face of the proceeding's, in mitigation of the crime with Which he was charged, his Majesty was most gracitiusly pleased to extend his pardon to the prisoner, Pay- ! toaster John Jennings; of the 7th Dragoon Guards, and to command in lieu of the punishment awarded by the Court, that he shall make good the several stuns misapplied by hint, and shall be placed upon half-pay.

(Signed) ELLY, Major-General." On Tuesday last, Major-Genetal Sir Sydney Beckwith,,com =tiding the Arniagh District,, inspected the 33d Regiment, quartered in Armagh, in the. Barrack-yard, in consequence of the extremely unfavourable state of the day. A minute inspection into the state of the bmiks, barracks, and interior economy of the Regiment, afterwards took place, which af forded the most perfect satisfaction, and drew forth the ap ! . pro Val of the General. The first division of the 40th Regi- Ment arrived at Ennis, on Friday last. • Wednesday,.

BOXING. • A tremendous battle was fought yesterday morning in Kilburn-fields, between .I. Edwards, the Hooting don drover, and Matt. Crisp, a navigator.' It is is made upon . the preceding night, ,at a public-horse in the . Edgware•road, fol• 201. as well as love; it was a match unknown even to the fancy. Crisp w.'s seconded by his brother, ..and George Hooper officiated for Edwards. Five rounds were fought in an hour and - a half; it was all slaughtering milling. The first round lasted 2i minutes I both men Were hit to pieces, to use the slang diction. At the close Crisp was thrown, and the ring resembled a crimson hue in the reel Waterloo style. In the second round bath were piping at a distance. Crisp made play, and flattened the •• bridge of his adversary's nat.; the drover shook his heath Ad went very sulky to work; • like the first round, the give and take was the time of day. After a manly bout., Crisp was floored by a tie-mp in the In the third 'round both wen! hit blind, and there were at .least 20 exchange blows. The men • fought until they rolled against each other, and fell as helpless as babes. The fourth'round beat Crisp, by his adversary cracking a rib, but he fought Ili. round out without apparently billOWlnyr what had happened; he had the best of it, and.hit his ad versary down by a round blow in the throat. In the ft ft lvround Crisp was brought to the scratch doubled -up, a nd his action gone, when Edward's hit - Trim down, and asrotAiwa-ig-Ll , r - , - • ' GENERALS QUIROGA AND RIEGO.-General QUIROGA, has printed a letter, addressed to Gen. RIEGO, in which, after saying. that he accepts with pleasure the protestations of friendship . which the latter had made in his . apology, he de.: dares, that there never existed any difference between them. Upon the dissOlution of the army of the. Isle of Leon, General QuinonA ag,reed with, RIEGo in conceiving. it to be au ill-timed measure; but he could not oppose it in his qua lity of a- Deputy of. the, Cortes, inasmuch as it was not Ivithin the limits of the functions of that body, but within those of the Executive Power: He finishes with expreSsing a - wish t,o cIaspRIEGO in his arms. From this letter it further appears, that the Revolutionists had appointed QUIROGA General-in-Chief of the Liberating. Army, as far back as the month of November, 1819 ; but that, having been arrested in consequence of sus picions entertained of him by the Government, he had in the first instance experienced considerable difficulty in escaping from prison, and was after wards delayed by the bad state of the Toads ; so that RUG° had the honour of striking the . firiit . blow. CAPTAIN MOLT'S MATCll.—Captain Hovr's match to go on foot 300 miles in five days, and to touch on ten counties, was won on Saturday night, by the arrival of the Captain at Hammer smith. ffe had 44 miles to do on the fifth day, from Dorchester, Oxon, and he did it in 12 hours, and, upon the whole, was not much s fa tigued. The Match ranks among the first pedes trian feats. _ _ _ The superb service of china presented -lately to his Serene Highness. Prince ESTERHAZY, by the Emperor of AUSTRIA, is not of Dresden, but Vienna manufacture ; and was ordered at the, Imperial manufactory to that city expressly for the purpose. BREAKING OUT OF PRISON.—A few 'evenings back five of the convicts, who were confined in thz New House Of Correction at Brixton, effected their -escape in a very dar ing manner. The prison is not yet wholly finished. and this circumstance inspiring score of the boldest thieves with a hope of being able to break out by sonic. means or other, five of them leagued together for this purpose. They kept their design-a secret from their fellow prisoners, and the better to disguise their iotentions, seemed very attentive to their employment, and reserved towards each other. — The absence of the workmen was determined ools the signal, and as. soon as they went away, some of the prisoners seized on the builder's ladder, by means of which hey 'scaled the wall, ;Intl got away. It is supposed that they crossed 'the fields, and entered - town by a circuitous route; hot their absence, - and triode of escape being quickly discovered,. emissaries Were dis patched after them in all directions; two out of the five were shortly afterwards recapturell,,and to their great chwrio, lodged again in their old quarters. On Sunday last privatein format ion was received, that another of the delinquents named Haswell, who was cast for death at'the last Assizes, was con cealed at a public house in Blue Anchor lane; BermolidsvY thither the officers went, and found him as described, dis guised in a count' yrnan's smock frock. This man being the most desperate of the whole, a violent resistance was antici-. paced ; but the moment he saw the officers, he told them that he was completely dispirited, and although it took five con stables to apprehend hini, last time, yet thahhe would co now quietly. He seas on Monday .cooveyed. before L. B. ALLEN. Esq. at Union Hall, by whom he was committed to his old . station. The others have at present evaded all search. There 'tires not appear to be any blame 'attached; f.o the .Keeper of the Prisot, who - is a very careful and , active man. IRELAND. ViTLENT OUTRAGE.—A most .wanton and bru tal outrage took place yesterday, in Sackville street, near the New Post-Office. Mr. Wallace, the leading Counsel of Mrs. Coila, in , the action brought by that Lady against Lieut. M'Namara, for a breach of promise of marriage, w as violently assaulted .by, M'Naroara, and most seriously in jured and atused. Mr. Wallace Was on his way to Court, alone, and without any - means ~ of de fence. -M'Namara was aimed with a -gig whip, and accompanied, as we are .told, by ,three or four athletic.men. Soon as M'Namara had sa tiated- his vindictive feelings, he sprang into a gig, and drove off. Informations have been sworn. to by Mr. Wallacei-and peace-officers dispatched in every direction, in pursuit of the ruffian. We understand this transaction. has created a great sensation amongst the Bar. Certainly the inde pendence of the profession, putting humanity Out of the case, seems to be involved in it: If Coon= sel are personally responsible for obeying the. instructions of their clients, and ttiat. • too in e. case where not even a scintilla of evidence was afforded - to contradict .his statement ? the life of a Barrister is precarious indeed.. .But even. were he bound to be the champion as well ,as advocate, of his client, surely another course aught to have been pursued ; an explana , tiou ought to, have been required,' and this failing • to he satisfactory, every other 'means of retires should be exhausted before even a per sonal insult Was offered, but in no case could. there be a shadow of, excuse for the gross out rage we now record, especially too, on a man who had given proof of his courage and high sense' of honour on previous .occasions. The Public also have an interest in bringing the cruel actor in this outrage to condign punishment, for if Counsel are to conduct the business of their clients under intimidation, the truth could. not be spoken, nor justice obtained. We have not heard that the cowardly barbarian has been yet apprehended ; but we trust he will not long elude the well known activity of the Dublin Police.- 7 -(Dublin Journal, Dec. 15.) HQ!'

On Tuesday evening an..over-driven Ox ran, in a state of madness, along Shoreditch, when a 'carter (we. understand in the employment of Mr. Simmons, Tottenham-court-road) . was driving his horse and cart along the road. The infuriated ox attacked the horse with his horns, and gored him so dreadfully that the poor animal died `instantly. Itortamt - v.--Saturday evening, be tween five and six o'clock, as J.
