(From 7 - ,e Dublin Correspondent, March Is.) THE RIBBONNIEN. These Insurgents have lately had an action with small parry of the Staff of the North Mayo Mili• under the orders of Mr. J. C. Blake, of Bel !nom, its which, though possessing numerically a vast superiority, they were beaten, with the loss rq one man killed and several wounded. The mi- illary party, whose conduct on the occasion was highly meritorious, fortunatelysuffered little. The sha► e which Mr. J. C. Blake, and Mr. E. Blake, had in this transaction, will procure for them wbal they fully deserve, the thanks and applause of every loyal than in the country. We have ex tracted from the Provincial Papers an accuunt of this conflict THAN', MARCH g.--About four o'clock on Mon thly last, this town was thrown into the utmost confusion and alarm by the arrival of a person, who stated that an engagement had taken place Letween a small detachment of the North Mnyo Militia, stationed .at Belmont, seven miles from hence, and a party of Ribbonmen, and that after an obstinate battle, the latter were obliged to retreat, leaving thirty of their men killed, and a number wounded. In an insta , ,t the milirary were called not and appeared under arms, and a Party of the Rifle brigade, with an Officer were die ',patched at double•quick time, to the scene of action ; but, on their art ival within - a short dis tance of it, they were ordered to return, as all was Vitt, and the Ribhonnien dispersed. During the absence of the Riflemen and numbers of the in. habitants, the reports in town wete various and contradictory, so much so, that we declined say ink any thing of it on Monday, fearing we might be led into error. The facts, however, turned out to he as follow :.--- Information being given to that zealous and spirited Gen tleman, Mr. J. C, Blake, of Belmont, that a Captain of-Rib boomets was within a few miles of his place, he immediately Set out in quest of him, accompanied by a serjeant and eight then of the North Mayo Staff, (a party of which he constantly keeps for scouring the neighbourhood), and, after a long. 100k -nut, succeeded in making him a prisoner. The fol inwers of this Noble Connpander were soon apprized of h i% situation, and instantly determined on resetting him. For this purpose upwards of two hundred of them as 'trollied in a field, near which the military party and linisoner were to pass, the most of them being armed Neitia pitchforks, spades, shore's, and scythes. Mr. E . Item, of Castlegrove, being apprehensive of an attack, par ticularly on seeing the crowd of country people at a distance, Ordered his men to be on their guard, while he reiolutely gal lePed up to the crowd, and judging, from their position, that they were for battle, be began, in the mildest manner, to rea km with them; he told them that they were not aware of their danger, and that if they persevered, the consequence would be murder. as he seed his party were well prepared, and also fully fa ettrtnined to stand while a man remained alive. They Were deaf to his entreaties, and seemed to laugh at his absurdity in thinki ng t h at nor to men could conquer so many ; upon which , to rode back to meet his party, and prepare for the opposition iltSs aS they might be confident of an attack, at the earn, time tellin g th e prisoner, that if be attempted to escape, he would that momen t b e shot. Mr. Blake, fearing that the soldiers would he surrounded, instantly ordered the m to fire; but this appeared only to exasperate the Ribbonmen, who seemed to be closing on the small party more and more.— fr- Blake, seeing fl, other alternative but a constant ordered his valiant men to keep it up, and to Italie their way through them, sebich they did, and 46 effectually, as to cause the Ribbonmen to retreat recipitatety in all directions, leaving one Man deed, and others badly wounded. We are proud te.say that opt a 4 .41 of Mr. Blake's party received any injury, althotigia atones v ete throw n at them from all quarters. The soldiers, after t ee u , ing the wounded, brought them off in a car, with the 42 ka.lits of the unfortunate man and their prisoner, to Bel ", for the purpose of having them transmitted Gp Clare, 1 111 t e e ar e, we underst an d, many of these fellows wounded 1a dr ea d of being discovered prevents their procuring dical aid. sk lli kito MARCH 9.--We a re p rou d to state, that otre ha s not b een, within the last week, so much : Il k of Ribbonaten as was heretofore ; we bays iti lihtard of a n y B a lli na f ade b eing about our t g t :' ,l l) ourhood, nor of any excesses being cons l'he town an d ne i g hb ourhood of Atbenry is not, nit are sorry to say, so peaceable, althc.•gh g r.;, Magist rate o f that town, William Lou. t; ,Esci., aided by the Military, is using every 6 hienth rl .

The Commission for this County was opened here to•day by Mr. Baron G4attow in the Crown Court. The LORD CHIEF BARON arrived in town this afternoon, and business in the Nisi Prius Court will commence before his Lordship to morrow. The Gaol Calendar contains 144 cases, but we are happy to state that there are very few heinous offences recorded in it. The Grand Jury threw out the bill of indictment for the only case of Murder, and in one case fur Child Murder and Con. cealment, the prosecution was abandoned for want of evidence.—Several cases were disposed of to day, but none of them were of public interest. Proctor Tong was convicted of sheep-stealing, and received sentence of death ; as did also Wm. Collins, for a burglary, but neither of these cases was worth detail. YORK ASSIZES, MARCH In.

The sentence of death was then passed upon them, and they were ordered for execution on Monday next. The prisoners seemed but little sffected with their awful situation. The deceased (Parkin) left a wife and fire children to lament his loss. Richard Coverdale, gamekeeper to IL C. Gas coigne, Esq. was indicted for the wilful murder of Thornas Hawkins. He was acquitted after a trial of eight hours. Acclamations were heard in son►e pars of the hall, which drew down the dis pleasure of the Judge.

SLAVE TEADE.—Six thousand four hundred and seventy-four Blacks were entered at the Custom house, Havantraii, from the Ist of September to the 3lst of Dec. An Institution, somewhat similar to the British Institution, in Pall-Mall, has been established in Edinburgh, for the encouragement of the Fine Arts, by annually exhibiting a Collection of Pic tures by the Old Masters, supplied by the Nobi lity &c. of Scotland. Students in Painting are to be admitted at certain times, to make copies for their improvement. Lady Mark Kerr, the Hon. Mrs. Cavendish, and the Hon.

CoultsiNG.—•Yesterday, a grand Coursing Match took place in Busby Park. the seat 'of the Duke of Clarence. Twenty-gve brace of greyhounds' were entered. The company both horse and foot, were extremely numerous. Nine brace and a half of hares were coot serf, and ran very strong ; three brace and a half only killed; it was altogether a very excellent day's sport, and the company highly satisfied. Only one brace of dogs allowed to course each hare. O n Friday se'nnight, Mr. Straker, wh o k ept the Hare an d Hounds Hornsea, was as sistipg a post-boy to harness a pair of horses, when he suddenly complained of being unwell, and made for the house, which be had no sooner reached than be dmpt down and immediately ex pired. fie was 72 years of age. Last ‘Vedaesday, a man called Samuel Foster shot himself on the Spring Bank. An Inquest has been taken before WM. HALL, Esq. Coro ner, and a verdict of Lunacy returned.

At an early hour yesterday morning, the C:ty presented a scene of bustle and activity unpre cedented. The contest having now become more immediately bet ween the Lord Mayor, Mr. Wraith man, and Mr. Aldermen Thorp, the triett - ds of these Gentlemen were seen hurryieg in every direction. Coaches, as on the former day, were in active motion, and the whole of the mottling -passed withoet any abatement of carrion on the part s 0E the respective Cendidates. By eleven o'clock Mr. Wait/aten had gained, ou the day's poll, consi derably on ;be Lod Mayor, and continued to do so until near two o'clock. The friends of the tvorthy Chief Magistrate now pressed forward, and, as will be seen by the final s tate of the Poll, wave him a majoiiiy over Mr. k‘''aillnuan, on the gross poll, of one hundred and fifty -Mite. In the space before the Guildhall the scene vas particu larly animated, and, by tee° o'ciock, great diffi culty was experienced in obtaining access to the Hall ; and so great was the number of persons there, that several persons, in attempting to get near the hustings, actually passed over tie beads of the assembly. Among ilte squibs that were let io the course of the morning, Wd o one offering a reward of one thousand pounds for the recovery of the Election of Alderman Weithman, which was described to have been lost ; the reword to be paid when it had been placed in the poor box. At twelve o'clock Alderitian Thorp resigned io favour of Alderman Waithroan. At three o'clock the poll finally closed, when the numbers were-- Mr. Wilson Alderman Wood 53 , 8 Sir W. Curtis The Lord Mayor 4236 Alderman SVaithman 4077 Alderman Thorp . The first four were of course declared duly elected. Mr. Sheriff PARK/NS returned thanks for the orderly manner in which the assembly behaved throughout the contest. Mr. WtesoN came forward amidst the loudest applause, which lasted for some minutes. They bad now, he said, arrived at the close of a con teat-unexampled. He foetid himself now placed -in a situation as high as could befall the highest merchant in the City of London. He could nor sufficiently express his gratitude to his friends who had so kindly exerted themselves in his be half. The only return he could make for the honour done him was, to exert - himself to the utmost Of his abilities for their interest, and this he could assure them he would do—(Applause.)— Great as was the victory he had gained, there was one eirearustance which he would mention, of much more importance, namely, that the City of London would now have a merchant for their Representative, who wook+ he the better able to secure and watch over their interests.--(Hear, hear! and applause.)—There were certainly many Gentlemen of great fortunes, and who p ossesse d more abilities than he did for such a duty.—(No, no ! applause:)—The gratifying fact was how ever clear, that if a Merchant were returned on every occasion, he would be better able than auo thee to support a falling state of trade, and to give impetus to affairs when they amendetLe It would not, he trusted, be thought unbecoming in him to mention, that as long as he remained their Representative - he shoOld be the fitin, daunted advocate of the Constitution, as establish. ed in Church and State, sold should ever exert himself to uphold the commercial rights and inte rests of the City of London.—(Applause.)—To a number of the Court of Aldermen, and to many Members of the Common Council, he begged to return his most grateful thanks. Nor could he pass over the two Gentlemen (the Sheriffs), on whom had fallen the arduous duty, for the exer tions they had made, and for their gentlemanly conduct during the contest. The hononr done him would be indelibly eograven on his heart, mid he should ever feel the wishes of the Corporation of London to be those of his own.—(Applause.) —l n conclusion, he said, " I shall now retire, with, Gentlemen, every wish for your benefit and that of the country at large."—(Loud and conti nued applause.) Alderman WOOD was unable to express the gratitude he felt for the honour done him in giv ing him so distinguished a situation on the poll. He had yesterday gained considerably over his friends, and he had this day polled 194 more than the Gentleman who last addressed them, and who now stood only two higher than him on the poll., For their exertions he begged to express his gra titude. In the present instance all had - come for ward spontaneously for him, for there had•beers no management, no coaches, to place hint at the head of the poll. He could not retire without saying a few words with respect to his late col leagues.-,-,-(Here sonic persons expressed disap prohation.)—He would (turning round) now ad dress linnseif to the Host logs, on which he found there were one half not Liverymen ; and if he beard or saw any one who was not a Liverymao interrupt him, he would insist on his being turned out. • He would ask if his late colleagues had not done 'their duty lie would challesaee the whole House of Commons to say they had not.—(Fresh disapprobation.)—He would stop all night but he would be beard ; he (with warmth) would insist upon having the Hustiogs cleared.—(Here the uproar was beyond description.)—Turning round isgain;t he said, the inte.cruptign tied come from persona with whom be had an account to settle, wbich'he would do on some other day. lie could assure the Livery he was most anxious to serve them, and they might be assured he would not lose one moment, but be ever attentive to their interests ; and should be give a vote contrary to their wishes, be trusted they would call a Com mon Hell, when, if be were conscious that he bad not acted justly, he would resign his seat. Mr. T. CURTIS came forward, but was unable to obtain a hearing. 111 r. WAITHMAN endeavoured, but in vain, to obtain a hearing for him ; and Mr. CURTIS, finding alio his exertions unavail ing, pointed to the Poll, and retired, thanking' the Livery for the honoUr they had done hii► father, Tbe LORD MAYOR said, after the great exertiout that bad beau made ou all skies, aud, after can-
