(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) A journal, zealous in the cause of tithes and plu ralities, which lately uttered a biting Philippic against your Dublin correspondcut, for stating a few truths about some "portly divines, ?zees pour la digestion," has unconsciously made a desperate attack on the constitution and establishment of the Church. Facts more demonstrative of culpable neglect and indifference to the preservation of the Protestant faith, could not be brought forward by any avowed accuser of the esta blishment, than those which are related in the follow- ing simple narrative, which appears in the Limerick Chronicle " A fact of the parish of Kihnoiley, in the diocese of Ardfert, county of Kerry, is worthy of being more generally known. Upwards of a century ago a number of Protestant families were located in the parish of Kilmoiley by an an cestor of the present proprietor of the land, Silver Oliver, Esq. ; and from the period of their settling there to the present they have had neither church nor minister in the parish to attend to their spiritual necessities ; in conse quence of which, many have from time to time forsaken the communion of the Church of England. There are, how ever, at the present several Protestant families in the parish, contiguous to each other, but far distant from any church, who have memorialed former bishops for a church and cler gymen to reside among them, but without success. It is, therefore, with much pleasure we have learned that our ex cellent diocesan is anxiously desirous to effect something for them, to have a church and a school-house erected in the parish, and to establish a resident clergyman there. To wards the accomplishing of an object of such importance, it is earnestly hoped that many will be forward to contribute ; for, doubtless, this is no time for neglecting either the spi ritual or temporal wants of our Protestant brethren. Now, especially are the members of the Church of England and Ireland called upon, and bound to stand up and help one another ; and a large debt is evidently due to those poor Protestants in the parish of Kilmoiley, who for such a lengthened period have been utterly disregarded." Yes, indeed---a large debt is due ; a debt large enough, if it should be computed, with compound in terest, to provide for the spiritual wants, as far as cler gymen are sufficient for such things, of all the Pro testants in the diocese of Ardfert. The tithes of a century rise in judgment against those by whom these Protestant families have been " utterly disregarded," and condemn them as unfaithful and incompetent. Will it be believed that Kilmayly (or Kilmoiley) is an appropriate vicarage, annexed to the see of Limerick and Ardfert—that the bishop for the time being has been the vicar, who, according to the above conserva- live account, only visited his flock at shearing time, and uniformly rejected their petitions for a Protestant minister to keep them in communion with the church ? Towards that parish the Bishops of Limerick stood " in double trust," as parish priests and as general overseers ; yet in both relations do they appear to have been found wanting. What, therefore, must we suppose them to have been with regard to parishes to which they were not bound by any private or particular obligation ? Is it not wonderful that there have been any Protestants at all left in the South of Ireland ? The three last occupants of this See are remark able names—Warburton, Ebrington (now of Ferns), and Jebb. The first is famous for his wealth ; the other two for their college learning and zeal for establishments. Yet the forsaken condition of the poor Protestants of Kilmayly does not appear to have taken much effect upon their hearts. So different a quality is the zeal of a schoolman from that of an apostle. It remained for a Whig-made Bishop, who with all his political trimming or timidity, is a devoted and humble minister of the Gospel, to repair the de fault of his predecessors, and make tardy amends to the flock which they " utterly disregarded." Such exertions may yet do much for the true " Protestant cause ;" but they come too late to uphold the vitiated system which is dignified by that name. The steed which bore that pompous corporation to Court is gone —it is of no avail now to lock the door. THE FRENCH REVENUE. (From the French Papers of Thursday.)

Bow BRIDGE.—This ancient fabric is said to be the oldest arched stone bridge in England and to have, from its figure, given the name to the parish of Bow. Bow-bridge is upon the river Lea, only two miles from London, in the line of the great Essex road, and connects the counties of Mid dlesex and Essex. Matilda, Queen of Henry the First, on attempting to cross the river on horseback at the Ford, still called Old Ford, a little way north of the bridge, having nearly been carried down the river by a flood, vowed to exert her influence to have a bridge built. The work was intrusted to the Abbots of West Ham, and lands were assigned to them for building and maintaining the bridge, and raising causeways or fords across the low ground at the place now called Strat ford, originally Strait (narrow) Ford. The old bridge, which is of three arches, has the appearance of having been widened more than once, but, being still narrow and dangerous, is to be taken down, and a wider and more convenient bridge, of one arch, is to be substituted. In a printed report by Messrs. Walker and Burges, the engineers for the demolition and re building, the date of the old bridge is stated as being between 1100 and 1119, and old London-bridge to have been begun in 1176. Bow-bridge was, no doubt, built by the monks, the only engineers in olden time. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAV, OCTOBER 18, 1834, FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE.

We received the following at a late hour yesterday afternoon, which we gave in our Second Edition ; its authenticity may be depended upon : (‘ We understand that upon receiving intelligence of the destruction of the Houses of Parliament, his MAJESTY, with that devotion to the public interests which has invariably marked his conduct, immediately placed the Palace newly-erected in St. James's Park, at the disposal of the nation, in order to meet the emergency. It is not yet determined whether this ge nerous offer is to be accepted, but the value of the sacrifice is to be estimated the more highly, because it is well known that the apartments at present occupied by their MAJESTIES at St. James's, are scarcely suitable to the convenience of private individuals of opulence, much less to the becoming and decorous magnificence of Sovereigns." UNATTACHED. Captain J. Luard, from the 30th Regiment of Foot, to be Major, by purchase. HOSPITAL STAFF. Assistant-Surgeon D. Scott, from the 36th Foot, to be Surgeon to the Forces, vice A.

A lady who was remarkable for the chasms of her mind and person, having experienced, about two months since, a great deal of mental suffering, which has since caused her death, has in her will, after several legacies to friends and poor persons, bequeathed to the Royal Academy of Medicine an annual prize of 5,000 francs, to be given to the author of the best work which tends to shew the means of preventing, dimt ni,,hing, or curing the evils produced in our corporeal frame through distress of mind. Madame Reoamier has consented to be executrix of the will. This legacy was to-day announced to the Royal Academy of Medicine by M. Bourdois de La mothe.—French Paper, Fox, THE QUAKER.—Penn says, and his life shows it, that Fox possessed, on all occasions, the most un daunted courage. Though of an ardent temperament, yet he possessed such self-command as rarely, if ever, to be thrown off his guard by insult and outrage, and he wanifested the most forgiving disposition. He was simple, dignified, and manly in his behaviour ; grave, yet affable and pleasant in conversation, and so ready in reply as to continually baffle his most subtle antagonists. One instance may be given : he was imprisoned in Launceston gaol, and . brought upifor trial before Judge Glyn. He was ordered to take his hat. Fox inquired what authority there was in law or scripture for this compul sion ; at which the Judge fell into a passion, and cried, "take him away, gaoler ;. I'll ferk him !" Soon after he sent for him again ; and on seeing him, exclaimed, " Come where had they hats from Moses to Daniel? Come, answer me, —I have you fast now !" Fox immediately replied,—" The three child ren were ordered to be thrown into the furnace with their coats, hose, and hats on.' The Judge instantly shouted, l c, T a ke him away, gaoler."— W. Howitt, in Tait's Magazine. H U NTINGDON.—On Wednesday morning, about six o'clock, a loving couple, accompanied by an elderly duenna, passed through . this town in a light t rave lli ng carr i a ge and four, with an anxious desire to reach the far-famed temple of Vulcan on the other side of the Tweed, there to have the chains of matrimony forged, and themselves fettered for life. The young lady appeared to be not more t h an seven t e en or eighteen, and looked particularly happy. Th e gent l ema n was very serious. Whilst changing horses at the George Hotel, a bystander expressed his doubts whether the gentleman bad run away with the old lady for her m oney , or w i t h t h e young lady for her beauty ; whilst another thought that, as there were two females, they must have ru n away w i t h hi m .

OFFICIAL REPORT. The following is the Official Report upon the damage done to the buildings, furniture, &c. of the two Houses of Parliament, the Speaker's official residence, the official re sidence of the Clerk of the House of Commons, and to the Courts of Law and Westminster Hall, occasioned by the fire on the 16th day of October, 1834, as far as at present the same can be ascertained : HOUSE OF PEERS. The House Robing Rooms, Committee Rooms in the west front, and the rooms of the resident officers, as far as the Octagon Tower at the south end of the building— totally destroyed. The Painted Chamber—totally destroyed. The north end of the Royal Gallery abutting on the Painted Chamber destroyed from the door leading into the Painted Chamber, as far as the first compartment of columns. The Library and the adjoining rooms, which are now un dergoing alterations, as well as the Parliament Offices and the Offices of the Lord Great Chamberlain, together with the Committee Rooms, Housekeeper's Apartments, &c., in this part of the building are saved. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House, Libraries, Committee Rooms, housekeeper's apartments, &c., are totally destroyed (excepting the Com mittee Rooms Nos. 11, 12, 13, and 14, which are capable of being repaired). The official residence of Mr. Lay (Clerk of the House) — this building is totally destroyed. The official residence ofthe Speaker.—The State Drawing Room under the House of Commons is much damaged, but capable of restoration. All the rooms from the oriel window to the south side of the House of Commons are destroyed. The Levee Rooms and other parts of the building, together with the public galleries, and part of the Cloisters, very much damaged. THE COURTS OF LAW. These buildings will require some restoration. FURNITURE. The furniture, fixtures, and fittings to both the Houses of Lords and Commons, with the Committee Rooms be longing thereto, is with few exceptions destroyed. The public furniture at the Speaker's house is in great part de stroyed. THE COURTS OF LAN. The furniture generally of these buildings has sustained considerable damage. The strictest inquiry is in progress as to the cause of this calamity, but there is not the slightest reason to suppose that it has arisen from any other than accidental causes. Office of Woods, &c., 17th October, 1834. Under present circumstances a brief history of a spot where so much has occurred to raise an interest so imperish able may not be amiss. The earliest traditions assert that a palace existed here belonging to King Canute, which was burnt down in the time of Edward the Confessor. In the year 1097 'William Rufus rebuilt the palace and established his principal Court here, holding the National Council and the great feasts of Christmas, Easter, and Whitsuntide, as well as the various Courts of Law. On one of these occasions an anecdote is related by Matthew Paris. " When the King built the Hall, hearing men saye that it was too great, he answered and said, This Halle is not bigge enough by the one halfe, and is but a bedchamber in comparison of that I mean to make." A Royal vaunt fully in accordance with the spirit of the Norman Monarch, but which was never fulfilled. The successors of William continued to reside in the palace of Westminster ; but during the wars of Stephen it pro bably became much dilapidated ; for in the year 1163 we find that the celebrated Thomas h Becket effected many and great repairs, and from henceforward it became the scat of Regal splendour, until events occurred which gave it a different character. King Henry 111. held many high festivals and solemn feasts at Westminster. _ " On the day of the circumcision of our Lord," says Stow, _ "in the year 1236, the King's Treasurer was commanded to cause 6,000 poor people to be fed at Westminster, for the state of the King, the Queen and their children. The weake and aged to be placed in the great Hall, and in the lesser those who were more strong and in reasonable plight. In the King's Chamber the children and in the Queen's ; and when the King knew the charge, he gladly allowed it in the accounts." In the same year the river overflowed its banks, and flooded all Westminster ; " and in the Great Palace men did row with wherries in the midst of the Hall, being forced to ride to their Chambers." Westminster Hall, in this reign, assumed a new interest, as connected with the Parliament, which was first summoned towards the latter end of Henry 111., and, although the Hall is not precisely indicated as the place of meeting, it is most pro bable that some of its precincts were devoted to the delibe rations of the Representatives, as at a subsequent period we find them actually convened there, as if according to esta blished custom. The same scourge, which at this moment we deplore, came again to visit the Palace in the year 1299, two cen turies after its restoration by William Rufus. "It was burnt by a vehement fire, kindled in the lesser hall of the King's house ; the same with many other houses adjoining, and with the Queen's chamber, were all consumed ; the flames thereof also (being drawn by the wind) fired the monastary, which was, with all the palace, consumed, but afterwards repayred#." In the same reign a few years later, an event occurred which raised considerable scandal against the clergy. " The treasury of Westminster was robbed, for the which Walter, Abbott of Westminster, with forty nine of his brethren and thirty-two others, were thrown into the Tower of London, and indicted of the robbery of 100,000/. ;" but were they subsequently released, with out any proof being obtained to fix the crime on any one t. In the following reign, that of Edward 11., the romantic and chivalrous character of the times was shown by a cu rious incident :—" In the yeere 1316, Edward 11. solemn nised the feast of Pentecost in Westminster Hall, and sit ting royally with all the Peers around him, there entered a woman adorned like a minstrel, sitting on a great horse, trapped as minstrels then used, who rode r oun d a b o ut the tables, and came u p to the King's board, and laid a letter before him, and turning her horse, left the Hall." This letter was a petition or remonstrance against certain grie vances, and says much for the facility of access to the So vereign which was afforded in feudal times. It is not, however, till the Reign of Richard the Second that the actual situation of the Parliament is described, though, according to Stow, "it appeareth that many Par liaments have been held there (in Westminster Hall ;) for I find noted that in the year 1397, the Hall being out of repair, King Richard having occasion to hold a Parliament, caused (for that purpose) a large house to be builded in the middest of the Palace Court, betwixt the clocke tower and the gate of the old great halle. This house was very large and long, made of timber, covered with tile, open on both the sides and at both the ends, that all men might see and hear what was said and done. The King's archers (4,000 Cheshire-men) compassed the house about with their bowes bent and arrowes nocked in their hands, altvaise ready to shoote ; they had bouche of Court (to wit, meate and drinke), and greate wages of sixpence a day." After this exploit of Richard the Second, the violent act of Crom well, in after times, of surrounding the House with his sol diers, must lose its claim to originality ; but the latter was the most fortunate, for two years afterwards Richard was deposed in the same hall, an occurrence which appears sin gularly retributive. We know not what mutations befel the palace for a considerable time afterwards, but it conti nued to be the residence of the sovereign, and the head quarters of the law of the land until the fourth year of Henry th e Ei g hth (1512), w hen a great part was once again destroyed by fire—the third conflagration since the time of the Confessor. It does not appear to have ever again been repaired for a Royal residence, and in the next reign we find the Parliament established in the Chambers which they so recently occupied ; the Lords in the ancient Court of Re quests, and the Commons in the chapel of St. Stephen, "of old," says Stow, " founded by King Stephen. It was rebuilt in the reign of Edward the Third, in the year 1347, for 38 persons in that sanctuary to serve God. He also built in the little sanctuary adjoining a strong clockard, of stone and timber, covered with lead, and placed therein three great bels, since usually rung at coronations, triumphs, fu nerals of Princes, and their obits. Of those bels men fa buled that their ringing sowered all the wine in the towne!" This Chapel, or College, at the suppression was surrendered to Edward the Sixth, since which time it has served as a Parliament House. In point of antiquity little now remains to be described ; the most interesting memorial of this kind connected with the Houses of Parliament was the Painted Stow's Survey, &e. t Ibid. Chamber, where the Lords held their conferences. It de rived its name from the paintings in fresco, originally exe cuted by command of Henry 111., representing events at the siege of Antioch, -and other. subjects ; numerous texts and labels were inscribed around, and upon them, and se veral vestiges might still be traced.on the West side of the Chamber and near the windows. It was here that the death-warrant of Charles I. was signed. • Another object of interest still existed in the tapestry which adorned the walls of the House of Lords, representing the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the portraits of the principal Com manders in that glorious action. These too are gone, but the memory of the deeds which they attempted to record can never perish. From the period when the identity of parliament became united With St. Stephen's, its character as a conscript body may be said to have been formed. , The power of preroga tive was waning, and the voice of the people began to be heard through the medium of their representatives. Events of the greatest magnitude succeeded ;—not only each reign, but each session, added some great name to the long chain of history. The conflict began ; the revolution of 1649 gave a character to the nation which it had never possessed before. Bright names and glorious deeds shine out amidst the gloom of strife and contention. It would be vain to attempt to enumerate them ;—the hero and the statesman —the ambitious minister—the sturdy patriot—the eloquent defender of a country's wrongs—the indignant advocate of liberty—all mingle their fame in the mighty stream which rushes onward to eternity. Our own eyes have beheld events of as stirring and complex a nature as ever came to piss in times devoted to history. Within the walls which now are " tenantless save to the crannying wind," we have heard the floods of eloquence of the " intellectual giants" now no more ;—we too have witnessed the devotion of the patriot, the energy of the emancipator ;—we too have mourned over the oppressor's wrong, and we have also re joiced in the dawning of regenerated freedom. SAYINGS PICKED UP AMONG THE CROWD. (Communicated by various Correspondents.) On the Lambeth side of the river a number of persons were collected together in front of a boat-house immediately opposite the House of Commons. Among these was a chimney-sweeper, who was gazing very earnestly at the fire. A lad, who looked like a " waterman's"prentice," clapped the sweep upon the shoulder saying, " Well, Snowball, ar'ut you glad ?"—" Glad of what ?" asked the sweep.— " Why of the fire, to be sure, Sooty ; if both houses are burnt, musn't your gagging act be burnt along with it, and can't you now cry Sweep' and Soot oh' in spite of the Parliament ?"—" No," said the sweep, " for master's got a copy on it at home." " But," rejoined the other, " you don't mean to say he'll be such a fool as to let the Parlia ment chaps know that ?" A gentleman who went down to Westminster in a cab asked the driver if he had heard anything about the cause of the fire ? " Why yes, Sir," was the reply ; " some says as it's done by the builders to make a job for themselves, and I did hear too as how it was Mr. Hume as set 'em on, ' cause you see, Sir, the members wouldn't build a new house, though Mr. Hume has ax'd 'em ever so many times to do it, and told 'em how wery uncomfortable he was in the old un." A coal-heaver, who appeared to be rather the worse for liquoi, attempted to pass the soldiers stationed at the end of Abingdon-street, in order to get into Old Palace-yard. He was stopped, of course, and after a good deal of dis puting said, " Veil, then, my fine lobster, so you really means to say as you won't by no manner of means let me go and see my own property a-burning ?" " Your own property ?" said the soldier, with a laugh. " Yes, Mr. Impurrence, my own property," replied the coal-heaver ; " and if you know'd anything vatsumdever about the liberty o' the subject, there'd be no call for me for to tell you as how they'll lay a tax upon me for to help to build it up again. But you're nothing but a soldier, and don't pay no taxes." With this the indignant black diamond merchant walked off in dudgeon. A new corner, after contemplating the fire for a few minutes, exclaimed—" Well, I'm blessed if I ever saw such a flare-up as this before." " Nor I," said a waggish artisan standing by his side ; " I never thought the two Houses would go so near to set the Thames on fire." IMPROVEMENTS IN KINSALE-THE DE CLIFFORD ESTATE. (From the Corh Evening Herald of Wednesday.) We have been favoured with a cursory view of the pros pectus of a plan for constructing a timber bridge across the Bandon River, contiguous to the town of Kinsale, at least it has not been in our power to take more than a cursory view as yet, of the plan and its objects. Whatever may conduce to the prosperity of one of the most agreeable towns in the United Kingdom to reside in, namely, Kin sale, is sufficient to engage our warmest and sincerest wishes on behalf of its success—and considering the proposed un dertaking in a general point of view, and apart from any effects of an injurious sort which it might have on the pro perty and interest of, individuals...there is something in the aspect of this scheme, of which we are inclined to think rather favourably. How far the navigation of the Bandon River, above Kinsale, may he incommoded by this under taking, we are not yet enabled to perceive ; but we hope the day is not painfully distant, when the navigation of that river will be rendered accessorial to the prosperity of both Kinsale and Bandon, as well as of a considerable tract of country. Prima facie, the connecting of Kinsale more directly with the opposite country, would be a benefit to both—would give a new market to one, and new custom ers to the other—and in our humble opinion internal traffic is the parent spring of all trade and commerce, and con sequently of all public prosperity. But hereafter we shall be able to observe upon this proposed undertaking more specifically. By the sale of the De Clifford estates in Kinsale and its ' vicinity, which took place yesterday in the Commercial Buildings, and which has been conducted with such admir able prudence, skill, and success, by Mr: Simpson (of Lon don), the agent for the sale, new interests have become es tablished in this, our we may say, favourite town. Instead of a languishing absentee property in one hand, there are now a number of local proprietors, masters of their own acts, able to pursue whatever energy, experience, prudence, and interprize may suggest. This must quicken the life pulse of industry, and animate in a degree hitherto unknown speculations in improvements, and we shall be delighted to see the happy effects of such change expanding and flourish ing. There is something of a public obligation due to Mr. Simpson, for the judicious arrangement of the lots offered fo r sale, and which in consequence have the easier found pur chasers. These have met so much public approbation al ready, that this gentleman's professional engagements in this country have been singularly increased. We should like to see him disposing in the same advantageous way of more of those absentee estates to resident purchasers, of as much spirit and intelligence as those are, who are now the pro prietors of the estates of the De Clifford family in this part of Ireland. Mr. Simpson has already disposed of the Downpatrick Estate of the De Clifford family, for a sum exceeding Two Hundred Thousand Pounds ; and is now about to proceed to value and lot the Fermoy Estate, which is advertised for sale in Dublin, but which, if the proprietors value their own interest, they will have transferred to this city. From the evidence given by this gentleman of his capability, there is no doubt but' that he will experience similar liberality to that which he is ready to extend to those who favour him with their confidence. We cannot close without adverting in very high terms of approbation to the very great satis faction which Thomas Wing, Esq., the Solicitor, who ac companied Mr. Simpson, gave to the Law Agents and pro fessional men who attended on the part of the purchasers, to ascertain that the title was perfectly correct in all its bearings, and to which there was not a single exception taken at the sale. The net produce of the Estate was about 1,100/. a-year, and it produced upwards of 30,000/., which was at least 7,000/. over what was expected. • The principal purchasers were John Thomas Cramer; W. New man, R. L. Dunn, Josias Dunn, J. I. Heard, and William Bleazby, Esqs., and the meeting was most numerously and respectably attended. On to-morrow morning Mr. Simpson leaves town for a few days, on a visit to the Lakes of Killarney, after which he returns to Fermoy. Mr. Cubitt's plan for completing a great port on the eastern coast of Scotland, and for the metropolis of Scotland and Leith, as to which there has lately been so much discus sion, has been favourably entertained by those immediately in terested in this necessary work. The Town Council of Leith, at a special meeting held on Saturday, unanimously approved of the whole Report, as calculated to reconcile all interests, and appointed a Committee to impress on Government the ne cessity of proceeding with the immediate execution of the works. ---- STUTTGARD, OCT. 6.—This morning the bells were rung to announce the commencement of the vintage, and answered in the loud shouts of joy and firing of musketry from the surrounding hills. The quantity and quality of the wine will be very extraordinary. —Prussian State Gazette, Oct. 11. THE ANGLER IN IRELAND.—The author of this work is one of those staunch, indefatigable anglers whom old Isaac Walton would have been proud to hail as a brother. In the pursuit of his favourite sport nothing checks or daunts him. He scales mountains, wades through broad, rapid streams, crosses vast lakes in boats of the lightest and craziest construction, rattles along over cross roads in jaunting-cars, which seem as if they were endowed with a genius for upset ting, and pierces, without a guide, into the very heart of the bogs, wastes, and crags of Cunnemara. Indeed, a more zealous angler we never heard or read of. His book abounds in description, anecdote, and incident, and is written in that light and cheerful style which is so attractive in these days. It must be eminently successful.—Sun. :4 4 1 , NEWMARKET t # , / SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. Newmarket, Thursday nitht _ • - C .

Rut ter, Esq., the Coroner for Manchester, at a place called Knott Lanes, near Ashton-under-Line, touching the death of a man named James Graves, whose body had been found in a horribly mutilated condition at the bottom of a coal-pit, a fall upwards one hundred yards from the surface of the earth. A young woman, named Mary Marsden, who lives as servant at the Horse-shoe public-house, Knott Lanes, stated that she had " kept company" with the deceased for some time ; that she was cnciente by him, and that they were to have been married on the following Monday. Deceased came to see her an Tuesday night, and they sat up together until four o'clock in the morning. She then went to bed, and left him sitting in a chair. She found him in the same situation on coming down in the morning. He stayed in the house all Wed nesday, during which time he seemed to take very little no tice of anybody, but appeared wrapped in thought. At about three o'clock in the afternoon he expressed much anxiety to know when witness could spare time to come to him again, as he " could not do without the sight of her ; " but he was perfectly sober. At about 8 o'clock in the even ing the deceased followed witness out as she was going for some water, grasped •her hand, looked earnestly at her, and then hurried .away. She followed and called him by name, but received no answer, and immediately after she heard a noise in the direction of the coal•pit, which was near the house. She then gave the alarm, lights were procured, and several persons looked down the pit. The body was found, however, on Friday in the state described. The Jury were of opinion that the deceased had thrown himself down, but in the absence of evidence, brought in a verdict that he was " Found dead," &c. Extract of a letter from Cork, dated Oct. 13, 1834: —" As you may be desirous of knowing what reception Mr. Cobbett met with on his entry into this city yesterday, I write to tell you that I should think that he must have been highly pleased. An immense concourse of people went out to meet him, and extended from Patrick's Bridge along the Glanmire Road, for at least three miles ; but the TradesiUnions did not march out in bodies—that is an honour, they say, which none but the great Dan is entitled to. On his arrival in town, he drew up at the Chamber of Commerce, in Patrick's-street, and there harangued the mob until dark. He has announced his intention of giving three lectures—to-day, to-morrow, and Wednesday, on Poor Laws, Paper Money, and the Repeal of tha Union. Everything went off perfectly quiet yesterday, and the people all dispersed early in the evenins." AMERICAN THEATRICALS.—MISS Phillips had made her debut at the Park-street Theatre, New York, with great success. Mr. Wallack was a member of the same esta blishment. Mr. Power was playing at the Arch-street Theatre, Philadelphia, prior to his departure for the South. A new tragedy entitled Ugolino, from the pen of Booth, the trage dian, was brought out at the Bowery Theatre, New York, on the 17th of September. It is said to be a production of much merit, abounding in dramatic situations and beautiful poetry. A Baltimore journal gives the following notice of Miss Wat son :—" Miss Watson, the beautiful young singer,' who lately ran away from her father's house in London to share the for tunes of the celebrated violinist Paganini, and who was over taken by her father at Calais, and brought back weeping to London, has thought prope r to ab sent herself from her native country for awhile, and has lately arrived in New York, and l be the means ha s given e f her fortune, Her ict, ex hibited her music al p owers bef ore a fashionable audience at Niblo's Gardon in that city , where she was received with great Her elopement y a ppearance has already produced qu i te a sensat i on i n N e w York, and the newspapers are warmly engaged in discussing aapupdla will us probably her merits as a musical performer."
