LIEFF ELD. From " 'rho She!Bela Nlelcsiry," of Saturday last.) We re i grer to state that in this ttlWll, on Tuesday, there were some slight indira!ior , s of popular tu mult. A more Om) ensto.nary concourse of per sor,s of is jilv"trile description, and many of them apparmtlystrangers, had been observed u) parade til t . streets in the clay tine, aril in the evening S:!verat hundreds had assembkd in the Wicker, Sh a k3-t' our, euil other places, some of tvhorn were provith d tt itlt fife-artn4, which they occa sionlry di, not perhaps for the purpose of annoyance in ,7:ty other way than that of creat ing alarm. A person named John Blacker, a tailor by trade, who for riotous conduct had been previously confint,i two years in York Castle, has been apprehended, and again commi•ted to the lame place. Several rounds of bAll-cartritlge, a loader{ pistol, and a pike of a most terrific descrip tion, were sound on the pr!ittises oft employer, land knotv we are infot uteri, t"belii - Wg to Blacker. What advantage such a person can possibly hope to ilerire from the effects that any pope! r commotion might produce, we are at a loss to imagine. Ile and ever tvill he, a cripple, of a tiwat lore, wish a mind as little to be admired as his body, having no propensity, that we eter beard of, to any purpose whatsoever, the obvious tendency of which is not mischief. The gallery of the theatre, of which he was denominated the King, was for some years the chosen scene of his monkey-like exploits. The prompt determina tion, however, of the late Mr. Fitzgerald, and the perseveting !wanner in which he insisted triton a compliance with the rules of order, cur tailed the period of his troublesome reign in that Celestial region, and occasioned him, perhaps, to take the lead in far inure dangerous purposes and pursuits; for soon alter we find hint heading a trtob, and carrying a loaf, that bad been previously slipped in blood, elevated on the head of a pike. This notable deed was followed by a long term of imprisonment, hut not sulliciently so, it ap pears, to d e ter Lim from again pursuing a course ch at mill probably once more expose him to ch as tisement, •;!!(1 the stern sentence of the,law.

It was reported lit the City on Saturday, that it was the intention of Government to call out the Militia in the disturbed counties. This is not exactly correct.

IftEL AND. Till; RIBBONMEN. (FrOm Tri'e Cern spoNdeut, _4pril 14.) We give, with some pain and mortification, the toll►wing Letter, on the accuracy of which we can place the most perfect reliance i " EXTRACT CF A LETTER FROM ATHLONE. " We regret to state, that the Ribbonmeti have again commenced their la , i - less proceedings in this part of the Comity of lioscommon. ',lie were led to hope, that the examples made at the late As sizes of this and the oeigtihonritg Counties would have had the eff,ct of inducing these miscreants to desist front a further perieverance in their ne farious practices ; but we lament that our hopes in this respect have proved delusive. On the night of Sunday, the 9th inst. a b inditti forcibly enter ed an out- hmise, belonging to Mr. t‘iade, a Gen tleman who resides at Nit grove, in the pari,h of Drum, and barony of Athlone, and plucked the wool front off thirteen of his sheep, alive. This banditti also attacked ,Mr. Wade's herd some time since, front whom they took a blunderbass ; and, on the night of Monday the 10th instant, an armed banditti of tbese nocturnal marauders at tacked the houses of several pt. r94311S in the saute parish and barony, from the roofs of which they stripped the thatch, and amongst the rest, those of James Mullanagh, of Kiltnactirmack, Michael Glynn, of l'atrick Noon, of the sillage of Cron.' cat u, and Thomas Reddington, of Rockfield ; the latter of whom, in consequence of his refusing to open his door to the banditti when they demanded admittance, became a victim of their vengeance, having been fired at through the door, and shot dead. A Coroner's Inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" returned. This unfortunate man- has lett a wife and several children, and, although he had resided nearly twenty years in the neighbourhood where lie was murdered, it seems that he had not been a suffi cient length of time in the country to entitle hint to remain unmolested, according to the rules of these ruffians, who declare their determi nation not to permit any person to hold land, whose family has .not been resident for upwards of fifty years ; and pursuant to this object, notices have been set veil upon the inhabitants, which, in many instances, has had the effect of intimidating them, and inducing theta to give up the possts siou of their holdings.".. F. MIGRANTS TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Accounts have been received of the Chapman transpOrt, which sailed from . London in December last, with the first party of Emigrants destined lo form a new Settlement at • the Cape of Guod 1 - lope, under agreement with Mr. John Bailie. The communication from this gentleman is very brief, owing to the casualty by which it was fa voured. It is dated cinder the Line, FehruAry 1, 1820, seven o'clock, P. M. and announces that the ship made Madeira on the 29- I/ of . Dec( tither, and the Canaries on the 31st of the same month. On the 12t h of JAnuary,lB2o, they entered Port Prays, in St. Jago, one of the Cape de Nerd islands, oil which 'they landed and encamped.— Here they recruited the mess-stock with fresh meat, poultry, fruit, wine, and some n ir, and continued the voyage. The only death which bad occurred was that of an infant child of Mr. Chase, on Chi isimas-day.— (Dublin Correspondent, April 14 ) A Lioness and ;brae Ostriches were brought home in the Rochtmt, which arrived last week at Sheerness from the Mediterranean, as a present to his MAJESTY. The latter are remarkably fine bird;, but the Lioness appears to have suffered by the voyage. His Excellency the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR, who lately sailed from Dover for France, on his return home, remained one dayat Calais, then proceeded for Paris, and intends reaching his home at the end of seven month=. He has taken on English groom with him, being decidedly in favour of the English manner of treating horses. Tile B ois e o f the Ambassador consists of a Secretary„ Grand Almoner, Master of the Horse, Treasurer, Inter preter, and three slave=, together with one Eng lish groom and two French postillions. The Circassian sailed about five months ago, accom panied by her two ennuchs, in the Lord Exmouth merchant vessel, for Trieste, a purchaser not having been found for her in this country as was txpeeced. The Edinburgh Weekly Journal of Wednesday last, says—" Last Sunday morning several re spectable persons, whose names we forbear to mention, were apprehended in Glasgow:' The Right lion. the LORD ADVOCATE, and Sir THOMAS BRADFORD, Commander of the forces, arrived in town from Glasgow on Saturday. AA accounts from Glasgow concur in bestowing the highest praise on the strenuous exertions of the Commander-in-Chief anti the Lord Advocate, for repressing the projects of the disaffected, and re storing tranquillity. Tuesday morning, Lowe a beamer, said to be a Captain in the late Radical Army, was apprehended at Glasgow, end lodged in Bridewell. There are about forty state pri soners confined there. A detachment of horse ausl toot from Paisley as at Barthead on Monday moe uiug ahoot five o'clock, and seized three leading Radicals, and conducted them to Paisley jail.--(Edinburgh Courant, April 13.) A hog bred by Mr. Gooch, miller, of Roxwell in Essex, was killed, on 'Wednesday last at Chelmsford, when the enormous animal was found to weigh 95 stone, or 760 pounds. Amongst the various usefnl inventions of the day we know of none more deserving the pa tronage of the Public than the patent . BOOTS and SHOLIS with ‘VHALFBONE I:INFR SOLES, as being well calculated to keep the feet dry and wsrm. In addition to the above advantages held forth by wearing the Patent Whalebone Boots and Shoes, we understand they are perfectly smooth inside, not having any pegs or nails driven through the soles, On the whole we can assure our Readers they are well worthy the attention of those who wish to avoid the sad calamities too often brought on by getting wet and daily feet.— , (5,0 Advertiiernent,) EXECUTION OF MAGENNIS. CiIESTER, APRIL 15. The fearful sentence of the law was executed upon this 11,1 rofes and we have a few particulars, which may, perhaps, be interest- Magennis was a than of strong capacity, but uneducated. Of his early life little is known with certainty; but he has left a memoir 1 con siderable length in the hands of the Rev. Ar mistead, which will speedily be publishs..;i. The proshsction of this document has ucco;‘ted hint almost wholly since his .•osiviction, The father and soother of Magennis were of the Established Church : the man himself, lsowever, appears, by a statement which he promulgated, so have been, during a long time, the class-leader of a society of Nielho,:ist. About thsee years since he arrived at Stockport Irons Ireland, and followed his o;-i -gin'si calling as a weaver. His restless disposition, however, soon Ird him to join one of the Radical societies formed in the vicinity of Stockport. Ht attended the sermosss of Harrison, and speedily because an active reformer. After his condemnation, Magennis left the Court with the must petteit hardihood ; but the certainty of death prodnced, in the course of the same day, a considerable change in his tkinettnour. Ile subsequently became extremely penitent. Ott Friday, atter bearing the condemned ser mon, (he unfortunate matt took the Sacrament, and slept st'ell last night. This morning he re sumed his memoir, and completed it about' eleven in the forenoon. Ile was very anxious that the thing should be published. About halt past 11 he was conducted to the cell of Bruce. The inter: view was short and affecting ; they shook hands at parting, and Magennis repeated his declaration that: Bruce was innocent. After quitting Bruce he visited Mellor, whose execution for burglar y• will shortly take place. Mellor appeared depress ed ; but Magennis maintained much of his wonted fortitude. Ile then remained for some minutes itt a yard of the prison, in which several of the Ra dicals of Stockport are confined ; they shook hands with him, but with great indifference.— Bagoley, one of the Reform orators, was then in troduced. " Farewell," and " good bye," wete the only words that passed. Magennis then signed a declaration, that neither Pearson, Bruce, nor his brother, James Magennis, were accesso ties to his at'empt upon the life of Birch, and declared that he was ready. A few minutes before 12 o'clock, the Bailiffs of the City Sheriffs detnanded the body of the of fender; and under an escort of the 71st regiment he was conducted to Glover's stone, where be sprang into the cart, and with the same escort was conveyed to the city gaol. During the whole of the distance, his eyes were steadily fixed upon a New Testament, which was put into his hands by Mr. Keeling. At the door of the city gaol he recognized a man, and shook hands with him : he. then remained about three (Flatters of an Hour in the chapel of the prison, where he prayed with Mr. Keeling and the Ordinary, and at 10 mintues past one he was brought on the drop, attended by Mr. Keeling and the Rev. jar. Willan. The executioner then affixed the rope to the beam, and 1:e again joined in prayer with the Ordinary ; but theie not appear to be that attention to his devotions which hail previously eharactet4ed him —his eyes wandered with a look of indifference over the multitude below. On being tied up, he expressed his intention of making a sptitig when the drop fell, but he was advised not to do so.— The executioner then left.. hint ; and be signified his intention, by moving. his bands, to address the crowd. Silence was instantly obtained ; all that he said, however, was, " Good-by, gentle men ! Farewell ; farewell, my ftiends, farewell P' —The cap was then drawn over his face, and he immediately gave the signal by thlowing down a. handkerchief. The platform snik, end i lees than two minutes he was no more. PONTEFRAC SESSION S , APRIL 13. TRIAL OF MITCHELL. Joseph Mitchell was indicted as being a mali cious, seditious, and evil-disposed person, and greatly disaffected to our Lord the King, and the Government and Constitution of this reabn, as by law established ; soil maliciously and seditiously intending to excite disaffection against the person aid government of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, then Regent of the l_loited Kingdom, and to brim; the Commons House of Parliament of this realm into great hatred and contempt amongst the liege subjects, and to disturb tli' public peace, ureter, and tranquillity of this realm. heretofore (to wit) on the 4tl.r of October last, as Halifax, in a speech which he delivered to a great multitude there assembled, seditiously tit tered, spoke, and delivered a most seditious speech. Mitchell, in his defence, which occupied the Court upwards of an hour and a half, admitted, that at the meeting alluded to, he might have used language, which, upon reconsideration, might be the subject of a prosecution, and therefore re gretted much that he should so tar have forgot himself as to have used it, but he (Mitchell) posi tively denied having used the precise language charged in the indictment, which he confidently stated he should be enabled to contradict by this most respectable witnesses; and in the course of. his defence, he commented very mod) on the con duct of some of 'those whom he caned the liberat Editors of the country Papers. Mitchell then called several witnesses in his de fence. Atter Mr. MAUDE'S reply, Mr. WORTLLT G uil ty.
