FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Constitutimmel.) BARCELONA, AtTo. - 16.—The following is the of ficial dispatch which the Intendant of Police at Bar celona, Don Francisco Hentiquez, had addressed to the Head of the Police at Madrid. It gives a correct idea of the actual state of affairs in Catalonia:-- Most illustrious Sir—The desire and the hope of presenting to your Excellency a more flattering picture than that I presented by my dispatch of the :3 I Ist of last month, respecting the political events of this province, have delayed for some time the moment of bringing it under your eeview. But, judging that my silence might become injurious to the service of his Majesty, and exercise a fatal in fluence on the general tranquillity, on account of the different colours which might be given to events, with views of. which we carmot be ignorant, I shall now tell you, that since the Ist inst. the rebellion has made considerable progress under the conduct of its principal chiefs, the ex-Colouels Raphael, Bosch, Balleister, and Augustin Saperes, who have been joined by a 'great number of other officers on unlimited leave, who •had shared along with Bal leister in the benefits of the amnesty, after their first sedition in the month of April.' The rebel band; increase in a frightful manner. Several of them are known by the names which distinguish their chiefs. A great number of them include more than 200 men, who are organised by divisions, battalions, and companies. They never theless continue to admit and incorporate into their ranks the Royalist Volunteers, who yield to the lures of seduction with a scandalous facility. There are likewise several bands of from ten to twenty men, who, without knowing their true chiefs, act in separate detachments, or unite themselves to the larger. Thus the rebels traverse the country with impunity, spread terror all around, plunder the arms from the municipalities, from individuals, and from the Royalist Volunteers who refuse to follow them: seizing even their uniforms, military chests, and the money for the `pay allowed to those corps : their audacity attacks even the principal cities, levies ex traordinary contributions, pillages the public funds, lead; off as hostages the richest persons, who only regain their liberty by a ransom, and increases the excess es and misfortunes of the sufferers by per suading the docile and ignorant multitude that all these enormities are authorized by the secret orders of the King, our master, and the special approbation of the Holy Father : that the troops will not oppose them, and that they never will assemble in sufficient force to defeat their design. To resist this torrent of evils, 376 soldiers only have .arrived from Majorca in the course of the pre sent mot)th,—a force insufficient for such an enter prise ; and being unable to form either combinations for the pursuit, or to occupy the most important points, the small moveable columns of the province confine their operations to the tracking of some par ticular band : and as it is impossible for them either to overtake it or to encounter it, on account of the inequality of the ground, better known to the rebel bands than to the faithful troops, the only fruit of their pursuit consists in exhausting themselves by reeeless fatigues, if not surprised by ambuscade,—a misfortune which lately happened to a captain of cavalry, who thus perished. The better to secure themselves, they abuse men's minds by the lying opinion that the orders for repressing their move ments are only appearances put on ; and as the in habitants of the cities and villages see that they make rapid progresses and frequent excursions with out encountering any obstacles, and with the greatest impudence, if they refuse to believe such assertions, At least they abandon themselves to fear and mistrust with so much more appearance of reason, that this criminal imputation finds, unhappily, a new founda tion in the conduct of some authorities and function aries, who, by weakness or perversity, do not show the energy and zeal which are suitable and necessary. The police has, with grief, beheld all its fears realised, though, when it predicted these misfor tunes, it proposed the remedy at a seasonable junc ture. Forced by its duties and attributions to the terrible Avowal, it announced four months ago the disaster which menaced the province, and the cause which fomented these elements of discord ; but all men do not AN the future with the same eye, and with the same perspicacity of judgment. it is then necessary to wait for a sad and t errible experi ence to convince them; and the police, reduced to its own forces to oppose the evil, has exhausted its resources, which were so much more feeble as it had no support, because "these precautions have only been regarded as necessary from the very recent ,noment since experience has raised the veil. Sinee we have been undeceived, we have taken measures which ought to have been taken at first, to aeo i s i,and not to repress them, as is now done.— Apprised o ; them by the clamours of the police , its d have been seconded, instead of being designs accused of exaggeeation, But it is act yet too late ; and if the measures which are prescribed are put in execution with the necessary activity, I flatter myself with the hope that I shall soon be able to announce to your Excel lency the happy change; which hare taken place in the province ; and the best results may be expected if, in order to remedy the indispensable delay in the arrival of the troops, we employ the extraordinary resources at the disposition of the superior authority who has in hand the armed force and other means celculated for circumstances so urgent. Nevertheless, in whatever manner this is brought about, the happy result cannot long he delayed. It -will soon . be known, and then I shall eagerly com municate it to you for your satisfaction, end for that cf all the subjects devoted to the King our master, the friends of order, who ere desirous for the happi ness of his people. May God preserve your Excellency many years, (Signed) FRANCIS HENRIQUEZ. P.S. At this instant I have received a despatch font the Sub-Delegate of Villa Franca, which an nounces to me that the moveable column under the orders of the Captain of the 10th, Don Julian La sada, els' composed of 200 men, destined to pursue the band of Augustin Saperes, encountered it the same day, on 6:: borders of Thera. After a spirited attack, the rebels feed 15 killed and several wounded, whom they carried oil in their flight. The defeat and dispersion of the rebels cost nothing to the con querors ; one gienadier only Was wounded. I has ten to make this known to your Excellency. FRENCH PCNIM—Fiie per Cents. 104 f.

HAMBITRGH PAPERS. 1-IAIft;URGH, AUG. 30.- - We have received to day the melOcholy news of the death of our Senator, Dr. Antonio (.Ihristian Wolters, at Ritzebuttel, to which place he rent only a few months ago as He was a member of the Senate in December, 1815. STOCKIIOI-11, AUG. 2-I.—Th deputation o f 12 m embers of the Norwegian Storthing; at th e head of witch is Count Wedel - Jarlsberg, has arrived here, to proebt to his Majesty the congratulations of the Diet on the birth of the Duke of Upland, but has not yet obtained admittance to the King and their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess.

HAmEtußGli, AUG. 25.—For the security of vessels entering the Elbe, a second signal f,hip has been stationed between the White Tons, (buoys) Nos. :1 and 4, near the sand bank, at the mouth of the Elbe, where the Channel divides. It lies exactly in course of S. E. by E., about one and three-quarters Ger man miles from the signal ship, mid N. E. by E. from the Schaarhorn bank, and N. k W. from the great tower on Neuwerk, in 11 fathoms water. From the 15th of September, this year, it will remain con stantly in this spot, except when it is forced from its station by the ice. - This ship is rigged like a gal hot ; and that it may not be confounded with the first signal ship, it will be distinguished in the day by a blue and white flag from the top of the main mast, divided horizontally; and have, at night, two lanterns, fixed perpendicularly above each other to the same mast, and about 18 feet apart. (From the Austrian Observer.) VIENNA, AUG. 23.—Letters from Corfu of the 31 st o f J u ly, state in substance, that since the ap pearance of Lord Cochrane in the lonian Seas in the month of May, the St. George Greek brig"remain ed there with a certain number of small vessels, to maintain the blockade of the Gulf of Patras. These vessels had hitherto avoided the approach of the Turkish fleet, which went backwards and forwards between Navarin and Patras. However, on the 23d of July, a Turkish frigate, two corvettes, and five brigs, sailing from Navarin to the Gulf of Le panto, the St. George, with another Greek vessel, attacked, on the night of the 23d, the Turkish ves sel that was the foremost. The seven other Turkish vessels coming to its assistance, the Greeks retired, after a hundred cannon-shot had been exchanged. A later account says, that both the Greek vessels had sustained some damage, and that a nephew of his Lordship's, who commands the St. George, was wounded. Another letter from Corfu of the sth of August announces, that on the first, in the morning, the Hellas frigate and the St. George were seen off Zante, which fell in with two Turkish corvettes. The cannonade of these vessels was heard at Zante till two o'clock in the afternoon. The next day the Hellas was seen opposite Zante, and the St. George at a small distance, having with them a Turkish corvette of 24 guns, and a Turkish schooner of 10 guns, which had probably been captured in the ac tion of the day before by Lord Cochrane, who was on board the Hellas. The corvette had sustain ed considerable damage in the tackle and sails, and people were seen on the deck busy in re pairing it. The schooner was uninjured, and still bore the Turkish colours. All these vessels sailed towards Castel Tornese. The Captain of the Frederick Adam, Io!) - Ari steam-boat, affirms that the crew of the Hellas was composed of 80 men at the most, because the Greeks would no longer serve under Lord Cochrane. That the duty on board that frigate was so disagreeable to the Greeks, on account of the loud explosion of the great guns, that they would not expose their ears to it. The Cephalonian captain who commanded the vessel captured by Lord Cochrane at the eml of May, with Greek prisoners on board, has been condemned by the tribunal at Zante to 15 years' imprisonment in irons, as guilty of carrying on a trade in slaves.— The ten Turks who composed tile escort were sent to Patras. PARIS, SEPT. I.—The Journal du Commerce pub lishes the following extract of a letter, dated Con stantinople, 26th of July, which it has received by way of Marseilles : Nothing is talked of here but the approaching arrival of the squadrons of all the Christian nations to second the intervention of the Powers of the West in the affairs of Greece ; but people are convinced that whatever repugnance the Government may feel for the proposed means of accommodation, it will yield without striking a blow, and the alarms that under such circumstances might be felt for the persons and property of the Franks are entirely des titute of any reasonable foundation. Nevertheless, as these ideas will gain ground in Europe, our com mercial situation will be completely changed. There will be a great diminution in the consignments from your port for a country which you will fancy given up to fire and sword, and clear-sighted and bold spe culators will profit by the fears of others. • M. Eynard arrived here yesterday, from London. Count Capo is expected immediately.

No. 111. THE MARCH OF :lIND. BY A VILLAGE CURATE. The March of Mind, so conspicuous at the present crisis, is not unlike, what soldiers call—Mark Time, YiT. a prodigious noise and shuffling of feet, but no onward movement...a march, in fact, without an advance.—Printer's The mind of the age, in its marches from town, Has halted awhile at our village, And filch'd, like a gipsey, tho brains of each clown (Though I cannot say much for the pillage :) We have all of us grown most distressingly sage In science, finance, and humanity, And gleam, 'mid the stars of this luminous age, Like fools in the limbo of vanity. 'Squire Bumper, my patron, has sold all his studs, And taken to prose or finance ; And Sally, my laundress, discarding her suds, Is learning, at forty, to dance; My Barber is penning (poetic of course) An anodyne ode upon Lethe ; And Betty, the bar-maid, tho' strong as a horse, Grows nervous, and quotes Abernethy. My clerk is discussing the duties on corn, With the Sexton, his village Hephestion, And Jobson, his trade of an ostler forsworn, Sports " Hints on the Catholic Question ;" The publican's daughters, Miss Sophy and Sue, no they stick to the ale-house still ? Ah no ; Miss Sophy, tho' red in the face, is a Blue, Miss Susan insults the piano. We start a new poet—say, once in a week, Whose thoughts are as black as a hearse ; And scarce e'en a pig in the cholic can squeak, But his sorrows are chaunted in verse ! Alas, for our village !—'tis darken'd and blind ; The age has to ruin consien'd it, For sense, wit, and wisdom, this " march of the mind" Has left in its hurry behind it ! BARBER SURGEONS.—Edward IV., in the year 1461, granted the Charter of Incorporation to barber surgeons, and the barber and surge on continued in the same firm for three centuries. The barber was originally introduced to surgery by the Priest, who was the chief practitioner of the dark ages. The barber, after shaving the head of the Priest, was sometimes employed to s h a ve the bead of his patient, and finding these fe ll ows l;andy with edge tools, they taught them to make salves, dress wounds, and bleed. Such was the origin of barber surgerv. In the four teenth century, however, the barbers pushed themselves for;;:ard s,o much in the practice of surgery, that in France the Legislature inter fered ; but the barbers' old f r i en d, th e Priest, them, they putting in a word f or were admit ted into a newlv-formad surgical establishment, under the title of Barber Surgeons ; and the co-part nership between surgery and shavin g has ev2ted in France and in England till very lately ; nay, till so very near the present times was this foolery continued, that, " would heart of man e'er think it,' says the philosophical and facete Abernethy, " even • I myself have (loft my cap to Barber Surgeons."—Warlds Memoirs, " lr : gol Irt • j .443 LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1927. The appointments of Mr. HUSICISSON, Mr. GRANT, and Mr. HERRIES, at Windsor yester day, complete the Cabinet, and may be said to have put the finishing hand to the new Ministry. The following is the entire Cabinet as it now stands : First Lord of the Treasury Lord GODERICIi. Chancellor of the Exchequer Mr. HEnarrs. Secretary of State for Foreign Z Lord AJITDLTY & WARD. Affairs Secretary of State for the War and Colonial Department, Mr HUSICICSON. wills the lead of the House * of Commons... Secretary of State for the Home Z Marquis: of I...ANSDOWNE.

Chancellor of the Duchy of T A Lancaster L or d DExr.sr. Master of the Mint Mr. TIERNEY. Surveyor of the Woods and } Forests Aar. S. BOURNE. During the conferences and negotiations which have terminated in this eix.celtenn. asm-srigestaterti have deemed it our duty, excepting in respect of ' such movements as were necessarily before the public eye, to maintain a complete silence. The observance of this rule was not indeed easy, amidst the clamorous disputations of our contem poraries, the amazing mis-statements circulated in some quarters, the absurd or mischievous com ments with which such mis-statements were ac companied or received, and the intense anxiety for intelligence which pervaded all the enlightened portion of the public. At length, however, the actual institution of a new Cabinet renders the previous negotiations, so far as they may properly be known, a matter of history ; and our re aders, ill who appreciated (we doubt not) the motives of delicacy and public duty that sealed our lips, w expect from us such information respecting them as industry and vigilance may have enabled us to collect. It is well known that, immediately on the death of Mr. CANNING, Lord GODERICII and Mr. STURGES BOURNE were summoned to the Royal presence. The former received his MA JESTY'S directions to form a new Government ; and, a t the suggestion of the KING, the Seals of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer were at once offered to Mr. STURGES BOURNE, the intimate and congenial friend of the Minister whose deeply -deplored loss had occasioned the vacancy. The steady refusal, by Mr. BOURNE, of an office to which every opinion but his own pro nounced him fully equal, made it necessary to resort elsewhere ; and, among other names, which it is not necessary to enumerate, many circum stances pointed out that of Mr. HERRIES as entitled to peculiar consideration. Air r. HER RIES, however, in th e first instance, under a strong impression of his failin g health,declined the offer ; and it was only at the earnest entreaty of his friends, supported (as we are told) by a decisively favourable opin ion from his physician, that he consented to retract his denial. The circumstance of this variance in t h e de termination of Mr. HERRIES, appears to have been the proximate cause of the difficulty which at one period threatened the dissolution of the yet-embryo Government; --a difficulty, ominous in its aspect, highly unfortunate in its menaced consequenc es , but which has proved eminently auspicious in its actual results. It would appear that certain objections, most honestly though erroneously entertained against the fitness of Mr. HERRIES to fill the high office in question, would have been earlier urged, and of course would have been disposed of quietly and with out notoriety, bad it not been for his prompt and what was presumed to be his definitive ee re j tion of the off ere d h onou r. The renewal, however : arld the subsequent acceptance of the offer, rendered it a matter of duty that those who felt the objections, or who knew them to be felt by persons whose feelings it was fitting to consult, should bring them forward fairly, manfully, and explicitly ; and this duty appears to have been discharged by those to whom it fell, with equal candour and fidelity. The transaction referred to, whatever else may be thought of it, reflects high credit -on the pub lic motives of the party (if party they are yet to be called) who followed Lord LANSDOWNE OR his junction with Mr. CANNING. The ultra tory press, in its noted zeal for consistency, has assailed that party with the opposite charges of domineering ambition and base subserviency. It has been said that they were grasping at every thing for the sake of power ; it has been simul taneously said that they would submit to any thing for the sake of place. Their conduct on the present occasion was an accumulative refutation of this self-refuted reproach. Their opposition to Mr. HEnntEs was not an act of a selfish or party character ; for no question lay between him and any individual of their own number. It was on public principle, and on public principle purely, that they put in jeopardy, even to the brink of shipwreck, an arrangement, to which every low, every personal, every private feeling, had been nobly and unhesitatingly sacrificed. The objections in question, however, though thus honorably urged, proceeded on a double mistake in point of fact. The character of Mr. HERRIRS wa.3 mistaken; for that gentleman is not opposed,—on the contrary, we believe him cordially friendly,—to liberal and enlightened viows of commercial policy; and, as to the slanderous insinuations that have been cast on his integrity, they are by far too absurd to merit the refutation which they have received. A yet greater mistake was committed ;—it was supposed that Mr. HERRIES had been unconstitutionally put forward as a King's Candidate ;—a sort of fixture in the Cabinet, arbitrarily inserted by virtue of an assumed Prerogative. This opinion was adopted precipitately, and without any adequate foundation. No Monarch was ever more devotedly constitutional in his principles or his habits than our present SOVEREIGN; and, as to the averments of the ultra-tory scribes, to whose ingenuity or whose simplicity Mr. HERRIEs in fact owed the extraordinary honour of this patent appointment, they never can be admitted to prove a disputed point except by the rule of contraries. Under these circumstances, however, it was ju diciously agreed by all parties to await the return of Mr. HUSKISSON from the Continent ; and his MAJESTY condescendingly signified his entire assent to the delay. Thus three advantages were Time was gained ; which is every thing in the, resolution of difficulties origi nating in misapprehension. The presence was also gained of a counsellor, not more eminent in temper, firmness and sagacity, than sincerely devoted to the fame and attached to the pa triotic designs of Mr. CANNINO. And lastly, there was gained the chance that Mr. HUSK Is sow might himself be prevailed on to accept an office, his qualifications for which were on all sides admitted to be super-eminent. On the arrival, accordingly, of Mr. HUMS SON, the vacant seals were tendered to' him; but he declined them. They were then once more proffered to Mr. STURGES BOURNE; but with no better success. The proposal was pressed on each of these Ministers in succession ; but each continued inflexible. Mr. HERRIES, who throughout these negotiations has acted with a propriety highly praiseworthy, entirely acquiesced in the offer to Messrs. Hus- KISSON and BOURNE; both of whom indeed had been distinctly in the view of his MA JESTY as fit grantees of the post in question, before his own name had been mentioned. The refusal of both, once more opened a way for Mr. HERRIES ; but, in the mean time, much had been done to obviate the objections by which his access had previously been impeded. The very fact of offers having intermediately been made to two other persons, had for ever disposed of the constitutional objection ; for by those offers it was made conclusively ma nifest that Mr. HERRIES could not be deemed, in the invidious and mis-imputed sense, a Royal Candidate. As for the personal imputations against him, they could not live under the slightest inquiry ; and, whatever doubt still re mained as to his fitness, was, we understand, dis pelled by a frank and straight-forward explana tion from himself, of his political and ,financial views. No ffirther exception, therefore, could be taken to his nomination. It is indeed true that, after the appointment of Mr. lIERRIES was resolved upon, Lord LANSDOWNE tendered to the KING his resigna tion. This act of Lord LANsnowNE could not be occasioned by an opinion that it would be impossible for him to serve with Mr. HERRIEs as Chancellor of the Exchequer ; for the event su fficiently disproves any such suspicion. It must therefore, we presume, have been dictated by a jealous and a delicate but an unnecessary a nxiety to prove that he cherished no personal passion for the sweets of office. The utmost ma dness of party-violence has never imputed to Lord LANSDOWNF. any such motive. All m en know that he has been driven into official life only by an imperious desire to promote, at whatever cost of private comfort, leisure, and happiness, the interests of his SOVEREIGN and his country. The conference appropriately terminated by an earnest expression of the Royal wish that his Lordship would retain his office, giving him authority at the same time to quote that expres sion as his inducement ;—an appeal to his sense of loyalty and public duty, which of course could not for a moment be resisted. Such, as far as we have been able to collect, were the chief stages of the recent negotiation. After the running commentary with which we have accompanied our - detail of them, it would be superfluous to illustrate their particular bear ing on the reputation of the different parties con cerned, beginning with the Most Illustrious. Temper, judgment, candour, conciliation, the disinterested pursuit of the public good, and the inflexible firmness of public principle, have triumphed over the difficulties Which accident had created ; and we have now only to rejoice in those temporary evils which elicited the mani festation of such qualities. But, while we say nothing more respecting the living, may we not utter one word in comme moration of the departed ? To none can the happy completion of the Ministerial arrange ments afford more heartfelt satisfaction than to the attached and mourning friends of Mr. CAN NING. They will now be enabled to recollect with melancholy pleasure, that the political al liance which the ascendancy of his genius effect ed, still subsists; and that there is a fair pro spect of the continued adoption of that just, ju dicious, and beneficent policy which his elo quence and his example bequeathed to England and to mankind. The French Papers of Saturday, with the Gazette de France dated Sunday, have been re ceived. The last news from Catalonia, gives a truly deplorable picture of the state of anarchy and rebellion to which that province is reduced. The present condition of Spain is a satire upon legitimate Government. Without character abroad or respect at home—without an efficient Government or the virtue to form one—the King of SPAIN issues his orders to soldiers who mutiny for want of pay, and sends forth his Pro clamations to subdue rebels, who in their turn issue counter proclamations, and act up to the spirit of their intentions by carrying their threats into effect. And, yet, with all these things staring him in the face, does FERDINAND carry on his course of truckling imbecility to foreign nations, while he visits the excess of public disappointment upon private victims, whose constitutional patriotism has ren dered them odious to himself or his congenial minions. But the report of the Intendant 'of Police of Barcelona may awaken the advisers of his MAJESTY to a due sense of his approaching danger, for it would be hopeless for him to sup-' pose that things can long continue in their pre sent state of moral degradation and intestine disorder. The Gazette de France contains some further particulars of the action between Lord COCHRANE and the Turkish squadron; but the real extent of the affair cannot be known till his Lordship's report arrive.—We have given ex tracts in another column. Hamburgh Papers to the Ist inst. have been received, but they are devoid of any political interest. ST.. PETERSBORGII, AUG. 14.—The EM PEROR has addressed the following letter to General BENKENDORI : CZARSICOJESILO, Auo. 3.—lt is to your exemplary bravery, and to your excellent dispositions, that we owe the brilliant successes of the detached corps under your command, which have distinguished themselves in the Persian territory, by the rapid occupation of the Monastery of Erschmiadzene, and the numerous defeats which the enemy have experienced, particularly in the environs of Erivan and Sardar Abaci, where the brave Cossacks of the Don and the Black Sea, animated by your example, have given proofs of their valour, in putting to the route a corps of cavalry superior in numbers. Wishing to recom pense these important services, we give you the title of the Grand Cross of Saint Wladimir of the Second Class. (Signed) NICHOLAS. A file of Honduras Papers, to the 10th June, have been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house, from which we extraet the following : His Majesty's brig, Beaver, Captain J. O'Brien, arrived on the 23d of May at Belize, from Jamaica, with a large amount of specie in silver and copper coinage, together with provisions for the use of the garrison. These papers state a fact important to merchants concerned in making remittances in silver from that 'settlement, and add that it has been found out that the Spaniards in the neighbouring States adulterated the silver, by introducing quicksilver and moisture (fraudulently introduced them) ; several in stances are given which tend to show this nefarious practice has been extensively acted upon. The only .in formation from Guatemala is what is termed im portant, and that they had j us t rece i ve d advises from San Salvador, which state, that another action had taken place one league and a half from that city, in which the President had been victorious. On his aide a serjeant was lost only, w hile on the part of the R evo l ut i on i sts t h e l o ss in killed and wounded was very cons id era bl e, b e sides a number of pri soners taken. C o l one l R au l en d e avoured to escape , but was taken and committed to prison by some of his own party. In Guatemala, a Colonel of Infantry of Quesaltenango, has been shot. His name is unknown, and the cause of his execution.

This aged and venerable Irishman arrived at his Killileagh estate, in the County Down, on the even ing of Wednesday, the 22d inst. It is nearly twelve years since he was last in the North of Ireland ; and his present visit was quite unexpected. Although h, - .! was himself the first person to announce his ar rival, yet, in half an hour afterwards, the whole town of Killileagh (which is a divided property between Lord Dufferin and Mr. Rowan) was brilliantly illu minated. Bonfires were lighted up on the neighbour ing hills ; and the cheerful festivities which instan taneously succeeded, announced, in decided terms, the respect and affection universally entertained amongst his tenantry for the best o f l an dl or d s . On the next day he was visited by all the respect able persons of the neighbourhood ; and, in th e lat ter end of the week, he received an invit a ti on f rom his tenants to dine with them on Wednesday the 29th instant. The party consisted o f a b out s i xty , composed of Dignitaries of the Established Church, Presbyterian Clergymen, military characters, pro fessional gentlemen, and most respectable farmers. Dinner was served up in a good style at half-past five. The Rev. Mr. Trail, of Holiypark, in the Chair. With the exception of three or four indivi duals, the entire party were Mr. Rowan's tenants ; and their respectable and comfortable appearance best testified how much they owe to an indulgent landlord, as well as to their own native spirit of in dependence and industry.—Dublin Evening Post. A woman and three children were drowned last week by the Fingal steam-boat running down a sloop, in which they were asleep, on Dumbarton River. A little girl, named Sayers, eleven years old, was burnt to death on Wednesday, at Great Waltham, by her clothes accidentally catching fire.
