Th e Duke of CLARENCE 13 to be appointed Lord High Admiral, with a Council, which a rrangetnent, we presume, will supersede the ne ceBsity o f a Board of Admiralty. Although the details of the negotiations which have terminated in the dissolution of the Ca binet have not been officially communicated to th e public, their general nature is perfectly known, and the history is as short and simple as it is surprising, The Administration having been deprived of its head by an incapacitating and probably incur able illness, the MONARCH selected from among Its remaining Members him who unquestionably st ood foremost in talents, service, eloquence, reputation, and popularity ; and, conferring on this individual the vacant Chiefship, commanded him to form a new Government exactly on the-baFis of the principles professed by that which had been dissolved. It was expected that this would be in effect the old Government conti nued, mut atilinutandi ; that there would be no fart her change, remoulding, or modification, t han the casualty that had occurred rendered ne. eemary, No so oner i s the gracious Message of the B° "ItEIGN announced to the Members of the Cab inet, than seven of them at once send in their reBignations. They refuse to accept the Royal no 111it'ation, o r to co-operate with the Royal Will. , r beY decline serving at all, rather than serve un der th e ablest, the most brilliant, and most for tunate of their compeers. In common, and per haps inelegant phrase—for why attach other than a \r ulgar designation to one of the most vulgar pro ceedings ; they combine and strike. It is, indeed, Pretended that there was no combination th et this coincidence of most gentle, but 111 ° 8 t peremptory refusal, was purely accidental. is almost always said ; and if, in the given lilslance, it be said truly, the fact is so much the m ore remarkable. For how perfect must be that NlPathy of general purpose and feeling, which ir riultaneeusly produced from seven different h eads o f the most various sizes and organs, 4 'd from seven right hands of the most diversi fied powers,-, some potent in wielding the sword, a nd others strong only in displaying a shield, — '' 34l e powerful to rule the elements, and others, de xterous to keep the bags, an uniformity of l entim ent , expression, and composition, only e3B miraculous than the memorable identity of the translations that issued from the seventy -470 interpreters ! The French Papers of Wednesday, and the ioile, dated Thursday, have been received. . 114 e fairs of Greece are still the subject of ob 'qvation in the accounts from Constantinople, bl it nothin g decisive has taken place. It appears th at the Greeks have been able again to throw Provisions into the Acropolis, in doing which, they repulsed the Turks an hour's march from Athens. The French Papers are busy in flaking remarks upon the probability of th e re cent Chan ges in our Administration, and the `` English Oligarchy " come in for their due glar e of reproach. The presentation of a petition in the Chamber o f Deputies from a person complaining of a de nial of justice, excited some very warm remarks. On the order of the d a y being moved in order to get rid o f t h e petition, there were only s i x i n the minority who voted against the motion. — This made one of the majority exclaim rather contemptuously, that there were « only six of them on which M.

The Polish Nobleman, Jaroszynsky, (who assassinated the Abbe Plank), was married to a Countess Jablanowska, who at that time resided at Rune, and has three children ; but has been separated from his wife for about a year and a half, because he was in a fair way to dissipate all her property. BAVARIA, APRIL 2. In February 1822, the Minister of the Interior was in duced to give public notice, that since 1609, no fewer than 1,103 Law Students had undergone the regular exa mination, in which they were found qualified for the public service, but that up to 1822, it had not been possible to place more than 658 in active service. It seems that during this period, about 300 of These candidates for employment have been annually provided for. if the same propor• tion has continued since 1822, there must still re main 195 unemployed, who will not he all placed in the service of the State till 1830. How many candidates have been added to the number since 1822, may be inferred from a comparison of the number of scholars in the Gym na.sium at Munich from 1608 to 1827. In the first 10 years (1808-1817) there were 2,379; in the second 10 years (ISIB-1827) 6,670. None of the scholars of the second 10 years had appeared as candidates in 1821. 11 the first 10 years furnished so many candidates, how many more will the second 10 years furnish ? It is is affirmed that most of the students of the latter period will embrace the ecclesiastical profession, it may be answered that there will nevertheless be a great number for the civil service of the State, and then how is the church to provide for so many ? Parents and guardians will do well to consider these facts. ArrlL 2.—Metalliques, 99i ; Bank Shares, 1061. We refer our Readers to the Spirit of the Public Journals, in another part of our Paper, for the reports regarding a new Administra tion. We have heard sonic additional ones, among which is that the Duke of BUCKING HAN! conies into the Cabinet, and that an express has been sent off for Mr. BROUGHAM to come to town with all speed. He is at present on the circuit at York. The Duke of WELLINGTON gives up the Commander-in-Chiefozhip as well as his seat in the Cabinet. It is said that the LORD CHANCELLOR, though he has tendered his resignation, yet means to sit for a month longer to dispose of those cases which have been fully argued, and only remain for judgment. This is nothing more than just ; but what are to become of the long list of causes which have been part heard—spoke to—carried home for consideration—forgotten —and then re-argued to refresh his Lord ship's memory ? Arc the parties interested in all these, after mourning for years the ruinous effects of the " law's delay," to spend their last shilling in submitting their cases to a new CHAN CELLOR, before whom they must all be heard de novo, with their long list of King's Counsel —junior Counsel—Attornies, &c., re-feed to obtain that justice which has been so long denied, that it comes almost too late—or only to over whelm with double costs ? Really, the Lord ELDON has much to answer for in the ruin entailed upon thousands by the dilatory nature of his decisions. It is no answer that he had more to do than human ability and per severance could achieve. The error —nay the sin—was in attempting so much, with the ex perience of half a century before him that he did not do enough. If the change in society, and the accumulation of public business consequent upon such change, overwhelmed him, why not call in help to his aid, and meet the increase of business by proportionate means ? Cases have slept in Chancery till the parties, after an age ofen durance, have gone beggars to the grave—and yet no warning voice, no conscientious scruple urged his Lordship to clear off the old score before he began the new. Like a miser over his new found gold the last case was received with more joy than all its predecessors. Causes entered the Court with the same chance of coming out as stolen goods from a pawnbroker's shop ; and it might be said of suitors that in entering the portal of his Lordship's Court, they left hope behind them. Various and frivolous have been the excuses for his Lordship's delay, hesitation to commit himself by precipitate judgment, while the poor suitor's property, like snow, was melting under the intensity of his Lordship's doubts Day after day, and year after year were consumed in the contemplation of old causes, while new ones crowded with more perplexing charms upon his doubting judgment, till regret at the ac cumulation of his labours, and hope for the ac cumulation of more, filled his mind with occa sional despondency, and made him sometimes lament (what suitors have always mourned) that he had ever been a Chancellor. In making these observations we do not disparage his Lord ship's abilities, which are great ; nor his integrity, which is undoubted ; but who can look at the mas of unfinished causes upon which his Lord ship has set his ruinous seal, and acquit him of the imputation, that he had undertaken far more than he knew he could perform ? If he took long to ponder over the merits of a case, was that any reaso n that the work could not be per formed sooner, and better too for the time, anxiety, and cost saved to the parties ? A light chaise will carry a man over the road in One half the time that a heavy lumbering vehicle performs the journey, but is the passage the less desirable because the same end is attained by a saving of time and expellee ? The Noble Lord is that heavy vehicle—wedded to antiquated forms, and taking in more passengers than he could carry till he broke down with the load. He looked upon improvement as innovation, subversive of his own system, and retarded the motion of his rivals, without accelerating his own. Happily for the present generation, he may now " doubt' the wisdom of his career, and reserve the re mainder of his judgments for the benefit of e Cf t x h N e c uLL ow ofi ll posterity. We trust that the business undertake less and do more ; the Court of Chancery, is too much for any man ; the bankruptcy and lunatic petitions, will afford plenty of employment to two separate juris dictions, without encumbering the C ANCELLon with their grievances. VVe refer our readers to the copious extracts which we have given from a Tipperary paper, for proofs of a stat e o f anarc h y ex i st i ng in Ireland which would disgrace the most barbarous tribes of South Africa. Indeed, we question whether the whole of Europe for the last two hundred years, has produced more determined instances of s avage lawlessness than are t o be found in the records of the Clonmel Assize s alone. They are p ositively ter r ific. Murder--rape--robbery —midnight conflagration—and even parricide meet us at every step. In one ease, a man is convicted of having leagued with others (some few years since) in firing a house, by which seven teen individuals, together with a new-born infant, were sacrificed—in another, two' factions, con, sisting each of hundreds, meet armed at a fair ; and, in spite of Police—in spite of Magis tracy—aye, even in spite of the military power it self, fight, rob, and murder uncontrolled. In a third instance, some slight or other is offered to an in dividual—how does he resent it : by the law, as in England ? no ; but by the interference of his clan. He sets out at midnight to the house of the offending party; wreaks his revenge upon the father, and carries off the child, while the law itself seems either unable or unwilling to prevent him. And all this occurs in the County of Tip perary alone.—What, then, must be the sum total of crime, as regards the whole of Ireland ? We shudder but to think of it, convinced as we are, that enormous as it is, it will reach to still greater enormity until some conciliatory but decisive remedy is adopted. The time, in fact, calls for an immediate cure. Every day is of value : every day witnesses some scene of atrocity—some parent butchered—some child violated—somelocal conspiracy fraught with added ruin to poor Ireland—hatched—strengthened and matured : every day therefore should pro gressively enforce its remedy. It is useless to talk ; the Legislature must now think of acting, and its first act should be Emancipation. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. The City has been all the morning in a state of the greatest excitement from the intelligence which transpired yester day relative to the Ministerial resignations, and the pro bable appointments which may take place in their stead ; regret seems generally to be expressed by the public at the loss of Mr. Peel, for whom a feeling of high respect seems to be felt, he being considered an indefatigable and able man, and one who has done essential service to the country. The less there is said of the remaining party perhaps the better. The Lord Chancellor all allow to be an able man, but the antiquated political opinions of the olden time does not suit the present xra, and more liberal and less cramped ideas are considered suitable for the present crisis. At the first opening of the market the British Funde evinced less agitation than might have been expected ; Consols opened at 821 5, and some considerable business was effected at a lower price, they were afterwards done at S2l, which was the lowest, and afterwards began steadily to recover their lost ground, and are now S2i- a for account, and less for money. India Bonds are a shade lower, being 67 9 pm., whilst Exchequer Bills have con tinued at 46 7 pm. The interest which has been so strongly ehewn to the British Funds has prevented much attention being paid to the Foreign Funds ; Mexican Bonds are 71--:; Colombian Bonds are rather lower, in consequence of a re port that Bolivar had resigned his public situation in that Republic, the price is now 40 1. The Share market con tinues to attract scarcely any attention, and prices are nearly nominal. Three per Cent. Consols, 82i ; Ditto for account, 32i ; India Bonds, 67 9 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 46 7 pm.

There is no intelligence to-day reiative to his Majesty's ship Tweed. A report is very current in the City, that Parliament is likely to be dissolved. With what truth at the pref,eut mo ment it is impossible to say. Other reports are in circulation, which state that the formation of a new Ministry is already in a considerable state of forwardness.

Farewell mother !—tears arc streaming Down thy tender, pallid cheek ; I, in gems and roses gleaming, On eternal sunshine dreaming, Scarce this sad farewell may speak ; Farewell mother ! now I leave thee, And thy love—unspeakable— One to cherish—who may grieve me ; One to trust—who may deceive me ; Farewell mother !—fare thee well! Farewell father !—thou art smiling, Yet there's sadness on thy brow— A mingled joy and languor—wiling All my heart, from that beguiling Tenderness, to which I go.— Farewell father !—thou didst bless me, Ere my lips thy name could tell ; He may wound, who should caress me, Who should solace—may oppress me ; Father ! guardian!—thre thee well ! Farewell sister !--thou art twining Round me, in affection deep, Gazing on my garb so shining, Wishing " joy "—but ne'er divining Why a blessed bride should weep. Farewell sister !—have we ever Suffer'd wrath our breasts to swell ? E'er gave looks or words that sever Those who should be parted, never ! Sister--dearest !—fare thee well ! Farewell brother ! —thou art brushing Gently off, these tears of mine, And the grief that fresh was gushing, Thy most holy kiss is hushing ; Can I e'cr meet love like thine? Farewell ! brave and gentle brother, Thou—more dear than words may tell— Love me yet—although another Claims lanthe ! —father !—mother belov'd ones—fare ye well ! M. L. B. J. R. Tonge, postmaster of Grantham, has b ee n sentenced to seven years' transportation, for altering the postage of a letter from 2s. 2d. to 4s. 4d.--Chelten ham Chronicle. An inquest was held last night at the Queen's Head, Silver-street, Southwark, before R.

He continued in con vulsions till ten o'clock at might, when he expired. STEALING NEWSPAI ) E R s•--The following conviction t oo k place at the Ennis Assizes Lahiff; mail-rider to th e Post-Masters-General on the road from Ennis to Kildy sar t, was tried for opening the mail bags , and taking therefrom several numbers of The Limerick Chro nicle newspaper, and selling them on his route. The pri soner, a boy, was prosecuted by Mr. Thompson, Solicitor to the General Post Office, and found G u ilty,—The Se cretary to the Post-office deserves credit for bringing this culprit to justice. Indeed, it is high time that an example should be made. The robbery of newspap ers h as been almost made a system of frauds thus practiced upon the pro preietors and subscribers of the Irish newspapers are almsot incalculable. It is time that a stop, if possible, should be put to this species of plunder,— Clonmel Advertiser. ELECTION COMIITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) The Westmeath Election Committee met this morning, pro forma, and adjourned to the first of May. THE COUNTY OF DUBLIN ELECTION. All the evidence on the charge of Bribery having been concluded on Thursday, Mr. Rolf summed up this day, on behalf of Colonel White, and the Committee adjourned to Monday, when Mr. Harrison will reply. The general impression is that there will be a new election. THE EAST RETFOIID ELECTION. This case having been fully heard on Thursday last, the Committee met to-day in order to decide on it. They have been shut up in deliberation all the morning, and had not come to a decision when we went to press. LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the RECORDER.) John crew and William Smith were indicted for a riot, and, in a second count, for assaulting Win. Pooley. , . It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor, who resides in Bridgewater-gardens, is one of those unhappy, irritable beings, whose peace of mind is at the mercy of every mischievous urchin in the neighbourhood, and who is designated in juvenile parlance " a fret." His charac ter being well known, all the freakish young rogues in the vicinity, were wont to congregate about his door, playing off their pranks, and causing a perpetual uproar, which has annoyed a less sensitive man than poor Pooley. On the evening in question, it appeared that the conduct of the noisy boys outside incensed the unfortunate prosecu tor beyond all bearing, and rushing out, whip in hand, he began to lay about bins in so violent a manner, that the neighbourhood, in dudgeon nt the severe chastisement in flicted on the children, took arms against poor Pooley, and, if his statement is to be relied on, handled him very roughly. There were fourteen witnesses examined, how ever, all of whom differed from the prosecutor, and from each other. The REcoanEit said it was much to be regretted that the time of twelve respectable gentlemen should be taken up in the investigation of a trumpery charge like the pre sent. The defendants were both acquitted on the charge of iot, and Crew being found guilty of the assault, was fined and bound over to keep the peace. George Feber was indicted for assaulting Margaret Robinson, on the 10th March. Mrs. Robinson stated that she lived by the scouring of pots, in Snap Dragon-court, and that on the c7ening in question, as she was taking away her dust, in a tub, she ' met the defendant, who was intoxicated, and called her many approbrious names, and amongst others, " Lady Pot Cleaner." He then said that she should not throw her dust into the hole, for that it was a nuisance, arid witness still persisting in her intention to deposit the dust in that favoured spot, where she had laid it for the last twenty years, the defendant snatched the tub out of her hand, and flung it at her head, on which he succeeded in raising a bump so large that it might have puzzled Dr. Spurzheim. The defendant was found Guilty, and ordered to pay the prosecutrix, a compensation, in the shape of a sovereign, and in default of that, to pay tile King a fine of 40s. Hellen Heliens, whose husband (Joseph Hellen!) was tried and convicted of assaulting her at the last adjourned Sessions, appeared before the Recorder this day, to solicit that he raight be set at liberty. The RECORDER said, that the husband had been com mitted in default of bail, which was required for the ap plicant's security, but if she dcrsired that lie should he dis charged without entering into securities, the Court would not prolong his confinement. Mrs. Hellens.—He lias promised to treat me better my Lord, but he has Bone so so often, that I have no dependance on him. The REcounrut.—Then you think he will beat you again when he gets out. Mrs. Hellens.—My Lord, I am satisfied that he will, and I dread my life when he comes home. The RECORDER.-TEen it is better he ehonld retrain where is. Don't you think so? Mrs. Hellens—No, my Lord ; as had as he is, I should rather try him again. I have had him before every Ma gistrate on the Bench, but all to no purpose. Still he has been a long time in gaol, my Lord, and I should like to try him once more. The COURT then ordered that Joseph Hams should be discharged, upon entering into his own recognizances in the sum of 501. to keep the peace to all his Majesty's sub jects. and particularly to his wife, Hellen Hehens. The applicant then retired, apparently much gratified by the result of her application. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. CONST, Chairman, and a full Bench of Ma gistrates.) A (Hey Hall, the landlord of the Bricklayer's Arms, Struttori Ground, Westminstn., was indicted by an in former named Woods, for having assaulted him on the Bth of February last, near Queen-square Police Office. It appeared by the evidence, that the defendant, with a number of other Publicans, were, on the above day, summoned on information by the prosecutor for some alleged irregularity. The informations were all quashed, and as the informers were leaving the office, they were hooted at, and ill used by the mob assembled outside. One of them was protected by a police-officer, and the other two ran away. The prosecutor now swore that Mr. Hall struck him a violent blow. He was confirmed in this story by a man named Morgan ; but the defendant produced a great number of respectable witnesses, who proved that he never drew his hands from his pockets to strike, or at tempted to encourage the mob in their riotous behaviour. The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. TAKING SPIRITS INTO GAUL.-Mary Dawson was charged by the gaoler of White Cross-street, with attempt ing to t a ke into the prison a quantity of gin. Sir J. PERILING fined her in 101., and not being able to pay it, she was committed to the House of Correction for a month. BURGLARY.—CharIes Jones was charged with at tenmpting to rob the warehouse of Mr. Wolfe, No. n, Addle-street. William Henman, an officer, stated that on Thurs day night last he received information that a great num ber of men were collecting about Phillip-lane, who were suspected to be meditating some offence. Hen man took the prisoner, who had a horse and cart at a short distance; his name was on the cart, which he said was his. Heilman did not think himself justifiable in de taining him then, and therefore let him go. lie got further assistance, and watched the men. About ten the same night, he saw the prisoner come out of No. 11, Addle -street, as well as two other officers; they then took the p r i soner aga i n enter ingcloth the had Ware_ been lseinto custody, and found on his person eight key s , a sma ll jemmy, a quantity of string, a phosphorus boxand mat c h es , a k u ni foundsoe otherth a t seventeen articles . endsOn of remov ed into the passage ready to be taken away, a piece of check, and a piece of canvass. The other house, they and officers corroborated this statement. 111 r. Wolfe and his servant, proved that the warehouse had been perfectly fastened and lo c k e d up , an d t h at t h e goo d s h a d b een s hif ted. The prisoner was fully committed. 130 W-STREET. 'William Hopkinson, a young man of 17, was brought before Mr. Minshull, on a charge of embezzling 161. 19s. 6d. of his master's money. It appeared, from the evidence of his master, John Richards, li nen eight month s ago, h e t oo k the prisoner into his shop on draper, No. 37, : Oxfor d- s treet, that about trial, preparatory to his being apprenticed, and though no indenture was ever entered into, the prisoner was entrusted with receiving money from customers, and making himself otherwise useful. On the 23d of March last, a list of customers who were indebted to the pros..,:litor, was given to the prisoner that he might call on them for payment, and among the number was Dr. Bil ling, of 1 3edfora-place, from whom the prisoner received the sum mentioned. When Isis master asked hi m On hi s return reg ar di ng Dr. Billing, he said he . would c a ll an d Pay. The p r osecutor had never been, satisfied with t h e pri soner, as h e was b a d tempered, and could hut be e nd ure d b y t h e other shopmen, in consequence of which he wrote to the pri soner's friends on the 25th of March, that he could not keep him any l onger . On the 28th of March, the prisoner told the prosecutor that he wished to leave him, upon which the latter gave him full liberty. Soon after his going away the fraud was di s covered. Mr. 1-lAunta, who attended for the prosecutor, then moved that the prisoner be committed. A professional gentleman, who appeared for the prisoner, contended that the prisoner was not an apprentice or shop man, within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, but merely a person received for trial, he could not be com mitted. Mr. MlNsticut, wished it to be understood that he was not trying the prisoner; but he felt it his duty to commit him on the evidence. He should, however, wish further inquiry to be made regarding his conduct, and he therefore remanded him till Saturday. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(TFITS DAT) FROM LLOYD'S.

The Lord Chancellor, Mr. Secretary Can ning, and Lord Bexley, had audiences yesterday of the King, at his Palace i❑ St. James's. Although the Lord Chancellor sent in his re signation on Thursday afternoon, the Noble Earl, it is expected, will retain the Seals for a month longer, till he ha* given judgment in the causes that have been heard be fore him. Mr. Peel, after haying resigned on Thursday afternoon, sent the official papers and boxes to the Home Office.—The ;tight Hon. Gentleman has been frequently . to the Duke of Wellington's within the last few days. In consequence of the new Ministerial ar rangements, the cards which were severally issued by those Ministers who give dinners on the day on which the King's birth-day is celebrated (the 23d inst.), were stopped. Mr. Canning was riding on horseback yester day morning in the Parks, at the early hour of eight o'clock. The Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Glou cester, the Princesses Sophia, Feodore, and Victoria, sited the Princess Augusta yesterday. The Earl of Harrowby and Sir Charles Stuart visited Mr. Canning yesterday. _ _ _ Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury are ex pected in town on Monday, the 16th ingtant, from Sid mouth, to he present at the grand funeral service, which is to take place at the Bavarian chapel the following morn ing, for the late Earl. It is rumoured that Haldon House has been taken for the summer residence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who, it is said, is coming into Devonshire for the benefit of his health.—Exeter Flying Post. His Grace the Duke of Argyll, Sir Henri' Osbourn, Bart., Madoribanks, Esq. and Ladies, and Mrs. Stanhope and Miss Stanhope, have left Nerot's Hotel and Baths, Clifford and Cork-streets. The paragraph about Miss Foote in The Sun yesterday is, we are informed, incorrect. Mr. Price made no attempt to induce Miss Foote to give up playing fer Mr. Fawcett's benefit. Mr. Price never spoke nor thought of doing any thing of the kind. He has merely declined to engage Miss Foote, which perhaps has led to this false report. A new theatre has just been finished at Ge noa, which is the largest in the world. It is built by Priascho, of Turin, the architect of the theatres of Saint Charles, at Naples, and of Argennes, at Turin. It is much larger than the Scala de Milan, and the stage is about four feet wider than the theatre of St. Charles. The building cost 1,200,000 francs, and the scenery and deco. rations, by San Qeirigo, are valued at 1,800,000 francs. It was built in one year, and will be opened on the 24th of May next. Several Sovereigns are expected at the first representation. It is a singular fact, that his Majesty is lite rally descended from King Henry 11., and that, should the Duke of Clarence succeed George the Fourth, it will be the first break in the lineal descent of the family since the twelfth century. To illustrate this observation, we give a statement of the direct lineal descent of his Majesty King George the Fourth.—Henry 11. King of England, had a daughter, Maud, who married Henry the Lion, Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, who had William of Luneuburgh, who married Helena, daughter of Worldemer, King of Denmark, and had Otho, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, who had Albert the Great, Duke of Brunswick, who had Al bert the Fat, Duke of Brunswick, who had Magnus, Duke of Brunswick, who had Magnus Torquat, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenburg, who had Bernard, Duke of of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, who L uhnaedniFmrregidelr,icu ho had Frederick, Duke of Lunenburgh, who h a d Oth o th e Great, Duke of Lunen burgh, who had Henry, Duke of Ernest, Duke of Lunenburgh, who had William, Duke of Lunenburgh, Zell, who had Elizabeth, who married Fre derick, King of Bohemia, and had George, Prince of Cal lenbar and Duke of Hanover, who had Sophia, who mar ried Ernest Augustus, Bishop of Osnaburgh, and Elector of Brunswick Lunenburgh, and had George, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, &c. who had George the Second, who had Frederick Prince of Wales, who had George the Third, who had his present Majesty. STAGES.—About 150 years ago, in the year 1672, when throughout Great Britain only six stage coaches were constantly going, a pamphlet was written by one John Cresset, of the Charter House, for their sup pression, and among the many grave reasons given against their continuance is the following :—" These stage coaches make Gentlemen come to London on every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do but upon urgent neces sity ; nay, the convenience of the passage makes their wives often come up , who , rather than come such long journies on horseback would stay at home. Here , when they have come to town , they must presently be in time mode, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such a habit of idleness and love of pleasure, that they are uneasy ever after." Margaret Carbery, for administering poison to Thomas Carbery, was found guilty, and sentenced to death, at the Assizes of Maryborough. The facts of this unfortunate girl's crime are already before the public. In duced by a young man to whom she was about to be mar ried, she administered poison, in butter-milk, to her father, mother, brothers, and sisters, to obtain the pro perty of thofamilY.— Tipperary Free Press. Denis IVl , Dermot, on the same day, was found guilty of the murder of Patrick Dunn, at ClonasleQ, parish of Reary, on the 17th January last. This horrible trans action was also before the public. Ikl‘Dermot supped, prayed, and retired to bed with his unsuspecting victim, whom he murdered while sleeping, robbed the house, and set fire to it, in the hope of concealing his crime.— Tip. perary Free Press.

On Saturday, John Lonergan, Philip Lonergan, John Green, James Byrne, and Thomas Brien, the five unfortunate men who had been convicted on Thursday morning, in Clonmel, of aiding and assist ing in the murder of Mr. Barry, were executed at Ardfinnan. It was thought proper that an example should be male of the murderers of Mr. Barry, as it was well known that his cruel assassination was in consequence of his taking leec; given up by their former tenant, and which New; deemed by those un happy wretches, who confederated for the irpose of destroying him, es an offence which could only be expiated by the forfeiture of his life. The critae of threatening tenants, and obliging landlords to keep their lands unoccupied, •is so prevalent, the: it wee considered right, those who have been deluded either into the countenancing, or for joining in the prac tices' of those illegal associations, should be shown the frightful and dreadful termination of such prac tices, and how inevitably they must lead those who connect themselves with there to a disgraceful death. Instead, therefore, of the five murderers of Mr. Barry being executed where they had been convicted, in Clonmel, it was decided that they should be brought to Ardfinnan, a place in the vicinity of the spot where the horrid crime had been cemmitted, and where all the families of these wretched men resided. In pursuance of this determination, at ten o'clock on Saturday morning the five men were led out of the jail, and placed in cars—upon the first car were bound together Philip Lonergan, John Green, and Thomas Brien ; and on the second car the old man James Byrne, and Jelee. Lonergan. The prisoners on the first car were at tended by the Rev. Edward Brennan and those on the second by the Rev. John Baldwin. The me lancholy procession then moved in the following order :—First a troop of the Scots Greve, stationed at Caher, then a party of the mounted constables next the two chaise., in . ivhich were the Sheriff and his assistants— then the unfortunate men, on two cars, completely surrounded by the Police, and after them the materials of the scaffolding on which the criminals every to be executed—the whole pro cession was closed by a second troop of Scots Greys. The entire attention of all the prisoners seemed to be completely' absorbed in religious exercises, or devoted to the exhortations of the two Clergymen who attended them. There is but one exception to this remark, and that occurred when the father of the prisoner, John Green, who was hastening into town to take a last farewell of his child, met the fatal pro cession on its way to Ardfinnan. The unfortunate man was so horror-stricken at the sight, that he fell from his horse—the accident was perceived by the wretched young man, Green, who shrieked, and could not he pacified, until he was assured that some one had gone to the assistance of his father.—At Ardfinnan, the procession was met at two o'clock by the shrieking and distracted relatives of the prisoners. About all hour was occupied in the erecting in Ardfinnan Green of the scaffold; when it was ascended by the criminals, and the arrangements having been completed, and the ropes fastened round their necks, Philip Lonergan, John Green, Thomas Brien, and James Byrne, declared their innocence of the crime for which they were about to suffer; but John Lonergan acknowledged his guilt, and declared the other four were not at the murder. A few mi nutes were devoted to prayer, and then those sve wretched beings were launched into eternity. Their frames quivered with mortal agony for a few minutes, and all then were " still as death." After hanging for the usual time, the bodies were then removed to Cashel Infirmary, in order that they might, accordi ng to their sentence, be dissected. „ PRINTING A SERMON.—The following nal been handed to us as the profit and loss account of a country gentleman, who came to town to print a sermon, preached by him on the death of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York : -- Dr. X. is. 0.
