The following Correspondence has passed be tween O'CoNott DON and his Grace, on the sub ject of a Resolution passed at the late Catholic Meeting in Itosscomtnon, determining to intrust the petition of the Catholics of that county to his Grace, for presentation to the Clouse of Lords : " Belanagare, Oct. 29. "My Lord Duke—At an Aggregate Meeting of the Catho lics of the Couty of Roscommon, convened at Roscommon on the 18th instant, for the purpose of appealing to the Legis lature for the removal of the civil disqualifications by which they are aggrieved, they unanimously resolved, to confide their petition to your Grace for presentation in the House of Lords. " By consigning it to your Grace, they felt particularly so licitous to manifest the reliance they repose in your Lordship and the Protestant Peers who associated at Buckingham house, on the 27th of May, as " the determined friends of the just cause of their Catholic fellow-subjects," and to evince their ardent gratitude for the resolutions adopted on that occa sion, demonstrating the civil equality of all classess of the • people, and advocating the expediency of granting to the Catholics immediate restoration to their civil rights and privileges. " They felt also, that each successive investigation has tend ed to elucidate the justice of their claims; and they were per suaded, that a petition introduced into the House by your Grace must necessarily attach particular attention, and awaken that inquiry which inevitably renders more obvious the equity and policy of conceding Catholic emancipation. " The meeting at which the resolution I have the honour of transmitting to your Lordship was adopted. completed the whole Catholic respectability and property of the county.— Highly as I appreciate the honour of having been selected to preside at such a meeting, I feel it considerably enhanced by the obligation it has imposed on me, of communicating to your Grace the sentiments in which this resolution originated, and by the opportunity afforded me of professing the gratitude and respect for your Grace in which I participate with my Catholic countrymen. 1 have the honour of enclosing a copy of the petition for your Grace's perusal, and shall, with your permission, for ward the original to Buckingham-house before the meeting of Parliament. E" I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect, my Lord Duke, your Grace's most obedient" O hum'CblO e s Oervaßnt, N DON. " To his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, &c.

" Sir—l have to acknowledge the honour of your letter of the 29th ultimo, informing me that the aggregate meeting of the Catholics of the county of Roscommon had resolved to ir - trust to my care the petition to the House of Peers, praying from the Legislature a relief from the grievances under which they labour. " 1 feel highly gratified by the confidence which the Meet ing has been pleased to repose in me. I accept, with pleasure, the task which has been assigned to me ; and however inade quate may be my exertions to do justice to the grand cause which is involved in the prayer of the petition, my anxious wish will always be to prove myself the steady, uncompromising friend of a measure, so deeply of the happiness of Ire land, the prosperity of the established Protestant Church, and the dearest interests of the empire. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very faithful humble ser van t, " BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS. " The O'Conor Don." Mr. EDEltii has positively contradicted a report that one of the walls of the Opera House has been condemned as unsafe. On Wednesday evening Mr. ROBINSON, butler to Philip Bennet, Esq. of Itougham, whilst seated in the upper boxes of our theatre, was suddenly seized with an apoplectic fit, and though promptly attended by a medical gentleman, expired in a few hours. We understand that he had before had a fit of a similar nature, which he had ma naged to conceal from his master's knowledge• — (Bury Gazette.) SINGULALt FACT.—A pear-tree in the garden occupied by Mr. MILLS, near the New Church, Waterloo road, now contains a considerable quan tity of fruit, being the second crop this season. In January last it was in full blossom, again in April, and, almost before the pears became ripe, the tree was remarked suddenly to have shed its leaves. Towards the latter end of September this extraordinary tree again blossomed, being the third time, producing a second crop of fruit, part of which is now suffered to remain for the gratification of those who feel inclined to wit ness the fact. THE THEATRE. CovENT-GARDEN.--The new Comedy, repre sented for the first time last night, is entitled Love's Victory, or a School for Pride. The fol lowing is a brief, but correct, account of the P L 0 T. " The Princess Diana (Miss LAC Y) daughter of the Duke of Barcelona, though her father is anxious that she should become a bride, disdains to acknowledge Love's Empire. Don Caesar (Mr. C. Kemble), a Neapolitan Prince, who is desperately ena moured of Diana, apprised and guided by Perrin (Mr..JusrEs) of her determination, meets her with affected indifference, and, piqued by his neglect, the Lady soon grows impatient to make a conquest of him. The real passion of Caesar occasionally breaks out in spite of himself, but the scorn with which he is in the first instance treated, recals him to himself : he laughs at the Princess for having thought that he was serious, tells her that she will make him vain of his acting, and changes her momentary triumph into bitter mortification. Afterwards, when she has been playing on the guitar in a garden, he affects to be enchanted with the calm which succeeds to the music of Diana—he is beyond measure grateful when he is ordered to quit her presence, and finally he selects another for his wife. The other persons of the drama favour the plan, and the inex orable Princess is at last almost frantic with disappointed love and jealausy. Of course the mask is then thrown off; she is humbled, her friends are merry, and marriage is announced to be close at hand." ‘Ve have extracted the foregoing account of the Fable from a respectable Morning Paper, as it contains an outline of the essential features of the Play. The main substance is comprised in the attempts of Don Caesar to captivate the Princess Diana, and of her artful endeavours to enslave her lover, that if she succeeds she may treat him with rejection and scorn. As Caesar is amiable and accomplishedd, it is no wonder that she should be stung with his affected indiffer ence, and, in the course of her endeavours to triumph over his assumed coldness, actually be come enamoured herself. This mutual artifice is well managed by the Author, and the occasional bursts of real passion from the Lover are natural and effective. The rest of the Dramatis Personce, with the exception of Perin, the Secretary, who is bribed by Caesar to promote his object, and who suggests to him the expe dient of pretending indifference, may be consi dered, to adopt the idea of a French critic, as " Characters to let," and are chiefly ballast to keep the dramatic vessel afloat. The piece, therefore, might properly be reduced into three acts, and many of the interlocutors be thrown overboard. The intrinsic interest of the Comedy would then be proportionably augmeuted, and of course the Play itself be likely to increase in attraction. It was hardly possible for the cha racters in general to be sustained with more cor rectness and spirit. Mr. K EMBLE, we scarcely • need say, takes the lead among the men. His de portment was easy, his expression of real pas sion natural and animated. Miss LAcr fully established herself as a first-rate actress by her performance of Diana. Her alternations of pride and occasional tendency to love, and finally her complete surrender of het heart, well de signed by the author, were accomplished with perfect success. There were also some arch touches of genuine comedy incidentally conveyed, which strikingly evinced the soundness of her judgment and her true sense of humour. JONES, the Secretary, was lively and ckaracteristic, but he would have acted better if what he said in general had not been apparently rather addressed to the audience than seeming to have been the woi kings of solitary meditation. The character of an amorous old man was well performed by FA RREN, and so was his hungry servant by 'ILAN cliAan ; but they have too often been seen on the Stage to operate with much effect. The sup position of the former that Diana was attached to him, was improbable and absurd. The three suitors to Diana were of no use to the plot ; Gas ton in particular, who boasts of his wit and ad dress, yet says nothing in support of his pre tensions. We repeat our opinion, that the Play would derive great advantage from com pression into three acts, without impairing the three niain characters, viz. Grim) Perrin, and Diana. The Play is understood to have been written by a Gentleman named HYDE, Who lately published a Tragedy, not acted, named Alphonsus, which displayed great poetical abi lity,and which we mentioned with merited praise in the department of our Paper which we desig nate under the title of Literary Notice. The dialogue in the Play of last night was neat, but sometimes interlarded with allusions to poetical history that indicate a juvenile writer. Upon the whole, the Piece was very creditable to the ta lents of the Author, and promises much from his fancy, when time and experience shall restrain its luxuriance. The Piece was very well received throughout, and obtained a warm and reiterated sanction when Mr. KEMBLE solicited permission for future representation. A Prologue and Epi logue, written by the Author of The Lollard:, a Romance of merit, were provided, but, unaccount ably, not spoken, though they would have been in proper conformity to custom, and might have been delivered with effect. It is said that Mr. J. G. Lockhart, the son-in law of Sir Walter Scott, some time the reputed editor of Blackwood's Magazine, leaves the Scottish Bar for London, to be there editor of the Quarterly Review, and to hold a place under Government, vice Mr. Stewart Rose, resigned.— (Caledonian Mercury.) On Thursday night last, the house of Mr. C. FULLER, Newington Arms, \Valworth, was en tered by forcing the flap-door of the celler, and getting up stairs to the bar, where the burglars'' regaled themselves, and carried off the copper. • till, some loose silver, a silver spoon, great coat, and other articles, about 101. value, with which they got clear off. From the easy manner in which they effected the robbery, Mr. Fuller considers it must have been done by those who knew the house, and have been in the habit of using it. We understand that through the intercession of our worthy Member (S. R. LUSUINGTON, Esq.), several of the men concerned in the late :harsh Bay affair, now under sentence of transportation at Portsmouth, have been recom mended to his Majesty for a free pardon; and we trust, ere long, to have the satisfaction of seeing them restored to their families, duly impressed by the kindness shown towards them. —( Canterbury (>azetlc.) H ERit/N - G s,--An immense quantity of fine her rings have been caught in Dover Roads lately, both by day as well as night.

ANECDOTES, &c. --..5w.-- SAINT the calendar this day is marked as St. Hugh. He was a native of Bur gundy, and conspicuous for his knowledge and virtues. At the solicitation of Henry the Secoud of England, he became Prior of a House of Car thusian Monks, at Witham, in Somersetshire.— In 1186 he was made Bishop of Lincoln, and af terwards rebuilt the Cathedral of that place, from the foundation. He died on this day, in 1200, in London, but he was buried in Lincoln Cathedral, his funeral being attended by two Sovereigns, three Archbishops, fourteen Bishops, one hundred Abbots, and a long train of Nobi lity. Numberless miracles are recorded to have taken place at the shrine of this Saint; but, with out recurrence to that testimony, he may be pro nounced to have been a learned, meek, and pious Christian. In 1220 he was canonized at Rome, and his remains were taken up October 7, 1282, and deposited in a silver shrine.—This day is re markable as the anniversary of the death of Queen Mary, and accession of Queen Elizabeth, 1558 ; of Westminster Bridge (which cost 426,5001.) being opened for passsengers, 1750 ; of the death of Catherine the Second, Empress of Russia, 1769 ; of the sudden falling of Ted bury Church, Gloucesterrhire, 1770 ; of the death of Dr. John Ha wkesworth, the author of the Adventurer, 1773 ; and of the death of Ed ward Shuter, the celebrated comedian, 1776. Dtt. PARR is said to have told SIIXRIDAN that he had rated *** handsomely, that he had poured forth hot scalding —aye, even lava. This may account for the word applied to this celebrated Doctor by another singular man, as celebrated for his mathematical as the other was for his clas sical attainments. Dr. Milner, who on some pub lic day at a meeting of the University, where Dr. Parr was about to open with one of his long speeches, stopped him, very much to the annoy ance of Pnrr and the amusement of the specta tors, with this laconic rebuke, " Come, Doctor, none of your Parlava," which was obliged to retire into the volcano ready to burst, but did not hod ♦entilation. The Doctor was mute. CASTLE OP OTRANTO.—The ingenious Author of this popular Romance, in a letter to Mr. Cole, now in the British Museum, gives the following account of its origin : " I waked one morning in the beginning of last June, from a dream, of which all I could recover was, that I had thought myself in an ancient castle,and that on the uppermost bannister of a great staircase, I saw a gigantic hand in armour. In the evening I sat down and began to write, without knowing in the least what I intended to say or relate. The work grew on my hands, and I grew fond of it ; so that I was very glad to think of any thing rather than politics. In short, I was so en grossed with my tale, which I completed in less than two months, that one evening 1 wrote from the time I had drank tea, about six o'clock, till half an hour after one in the morn ing, when my hands and fingers were so weary that I could not hold the pen to finish the sentence, but left Matilda and Isabella talking in the middle of a paragraph." NAPOLEON once said to a witness, " Relate your story simply, and never forget, that overcharged accusa tions will ever assume, in the eyes of a Court, the appearance of calumny." NAPOLEON had lavished many favours upon Count POLIGNAC, yet was he detected in an attempt to deliver up to the enemy an important fortress with the command of which he had been entrusted by the Emperor. He was imme diately arrested, and as his trial was fixed for the following day, and he could not but suffer the capital punishment due to his crime, the Countess de Polignac solicited an audience of the Emperor. " I am sorry, Madam, for your sake," said he to her, " that your husband is implicated in an affair which is marked throughout with such deep ingratitude." "He may not be so guilty as your Majesty supposes," said the Countess. " Do you know your husband's signature ?" said Napoleon, as he took a letter from his pocket, which he presented to her. The Countess looked at it, and fainted. As soon as she was reco vered, " destroy this letter," said Napoleon, it is the only legal evidence against your husband." She immediately did as she was bid, expressed her gratitude to the Emperor, and withdrew. _ _ ...... MARSHAL VICTOR, who, during the early part of the French Revolution, was a drummer in one of the Re publican regiments, and on account of his full, round face, passed among his comrades by the name of Beau Soleil, on be. , ing made Duke of Belluno by Buonaparte, is said to have ad dressed him to the following effect :—" Sire, though grateful for the favours which your Majesty has been pleased to be stow on me, I cannot accept this last mark of kindness with out remarking, that by it your Majesty has degraded me far below the rank which I enjoyed at the beginning of my ca reer ; formerly I was Beau Solcil, now I am only Belle lune" (Bellune.) Whe❑ SERJEANT COCKLE was in the Northern Circuit, he once told a witness he was very saucy, and then asked him, what sauce he liked best? " Any sauce but Cockle sauce" was the reply. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tms DAY.) This being the first seal day in Term, the Lout) CHANCELLOR was occupied in hearing motions. COX V. INN ES. This was an application for an injunction to stay the defendant from infringing on the patent of the plaintiff, relative to certain articles of iron work machinery.—Granted. HUGHES V. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he had been ap plied to, a few days since, for an injunction, which he had granted. Mr. Temple had also applied to him to stay that injunction, and he (the Lord Chancellor) had been again applied to on the subject, and informed that no less a body than three hundred would be thrown out of work were the injunction to continue. This fact was of itself sufficient to warrant him in giving preference to this case over others, and therefore he should order that the Counsel attend to argue it on Saturday. His Lordship was then occupied in hearing the cause, Hair v. Woodbridge, which was likely to occupy him until the time of rising. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAT.) THREATENING VIOLENCE. THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD V. THE HON. ♦UGUS TUS STANHOPE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved their Lord ships on the behalf of the Marquis of Hertford, who sat on the Bench with the Learned Judges, for articles of the peace to be exhibited against the Hon. Augustus Stanhope, for threat( ning per sonal violence on the Noble Marquis. The facts set forth not being sufficiently authenticated, for want of substantive averment of the person who heard the threat used by the defendant, the communication having been mare to the Noble Marquis, as was stated by a third party (understood to be Sir Richard Birnie), and giving any directions f or the there being no affidavit of that third p ar ty, the intimated that the matte r w ould pre sentC o u declined l t was be spoken of at a future time, when the requisite affidavit should be prepared, BALLOON ASCENT. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 14.—For some weeks past the public here have been on the tiptoe of expec tation to witness the ascent of Mrs. GRAHAM in an elegant large balloon. After two disappoint ments, controuled by ungovernable circumstances, this day the ascent was accomplished, and as. suredly an imposing and gratifying spectacle it was. The balloon was inflated in the market place, Storehouse, the gas being supplied from Mill-bay gasometer. With their accustom e d ur banity, the Earl and Countess of Morley patro nized the festive scene ; and a Committee of Gen tlemen superintended the ascent,which took place about three o'clock this afternoon, in the presence of at least 18,000 spectators. The wind blew fresh off the land from N. N.W., but Mrs. Graham had resolved not again to disappoint the public ; all things, therefore, being prepared, she took her place in the car, accompanied by Mr. Graham and Mr. Grills, of our Dock-yard, who had paid handsomely for a trip to the upper regions. It was soon discovered that the machine was not sufficiently filled to carry more than two persons, and to administer more gas was considered . dan gerous to the occupants of the car, from the im possibility, in such case, of managing the pro gress of the balloon, and bearing it away from the ocean, Mr. Grills was consequently left be hind. After being in the air about 15 minutes, making an altitude of nearly a mile, the balloon rapidly descended, Mr. Graham having evidently expected to reach terra firma near the Mew stone, about seven miles distance. In this he was most unfortunately disappointed. The bal loon dropped into the sea about a mile from the shore. A boat belonging to Col. Vinecombe, of the Marines, was seen instantly arriving to the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Craham, who, we are most happy to state, were landed in safety at the Admiral's-yard, Storehouse. A carriage being provided, the aeronauts proceeded to the Crown Hotel, Devonport, where they ar rived before six o'clock. Subsequently (the bell-man having announced their intention) they attended the Theatre Royal here (one of the most elegant provincials in the kingdom), when they had the honour of a public welcome, on their most providential rescue, by a crowded and brilliant audience. The Earl and Countess of Morley, and all our nobility and gentry, were present. The public enjoyment and the proprie tors' profits were, of course, sadly diminished by the circumstance of the balloon having been blown to sea. After it got disentangled from the car, it ascended to an unparalleled height over the Channel, with a stong breeze towards the French coast. *,* We are informed this morning, that the Balloon has been picked up at sea by some fishermen off Plymouth.

SHIP LIBRARIES.—The managers of the Port of Hull So ciety have issued a circular, soliciting donations of books, to wards the formation of libraries on board of merchant ships.— Of the utility of this plan, under proper regulations, there can be no qtiestion. EFFECTS OF THE STORM.—WC learn that the late tern peStuous weather has been productive of serious losses in the districts of Badenoch and Strathspey. Friday and Saturday last, great quantities of snow fell on the hills, which sudden ly thawing, raised the Spey and its tributary streams to a greater height than they had been for many years. All the low lands about Belville and Laggan were flooded, and some fields considerably injured. So sudden and rapid was the rise of the waters, that numbers of cattle and sheep were carried away before they could be driven in from the pasture. We are sorry to add, that the fine bridge of two arches at Laggan, on the Parliamentary-road, was, on Sunday morning, wholly carried away ; and several injuries of a minor description have been sustained on these roads and bridges. The Parliamen tary inspector in the Highlands having, however, been ma the alert, we are assured that these casualties will be attended to with the least possible delay.—(lnverness Courier.) BIRTHS.
