IRELAND. On last Monday we felt considerable pain in being under the necessity of laying before our readers, an account, extracted . from The Limerick Chronicle of last Saturday, of a series of outrages that had been committed in the southern dis tricts, during the sitting of the Special Commis sion. The object, in every case, was the attain ment of fire-arms; and the only inference which could be drawn from such a fact was that the horrible spirit, which had instigated the pea santry to shed so much huinan blood, had not subsided, and that the executions at Limerick had not produced a suitable effect on the minds of the conspirators. The intelligence, however, - which has been received this day from the southern districts, shews that the awful examples - which have been made at Limerick, and the cer tainty of the execution of the other malefactors, who spoke not of mercy till the vengeance of the law overtook them, have been productive of the most beneficial effects, as none of the Provincial Journals mention the perpetration of any crime connected with that conspiracy of the peasantry against life and property, which has proved so fatal to the unfortunate victims of so frantic a project.—(Dublin Correspondent, Dec. 9.G.) This day, about three o'clock, a procession of ' the operative Broad Cloth Weavers of the Li berty, passed through the streets to the Pigeon house, for the purpose of offering their homage to the Marquis WELLESLEY, who was expected to land there, but who will not arrive until Friday or Satuiday. They carried in the procession a golden fleece and other emblems of their trade, tin& a variety of flags, bearing appropriate in scriptions, such as " The sons of Jason welcome the Marquis WELLESLEY."--" Welcome - WELLES.. LEY, the representative of our good King, GEORGE I V."—(lbid.) A circumstance of much iMportance has been communicated to us, and which, we are assured, is a fact that may be relied on. It is this—the seven men under sentence of death, in the county of Limerick, have made an offer to induce their friends, the deluded peasantry, to give up 1,100 stand of arms, on Wednesday, (this day,) at Rathkeal. If such an important occurrence realty take place, immediate application will, of Course, be made to Government in their behalf.— (Saunders' News-Letter.) BRIGHTON, DEC. 27.—The KING continues in the enjoyment of excellent health. His MAJESTY confines his exercises to the Palace Gardens and the Riding School. There have been neither Palace arrivals nor departures since our last re port. Prince ESTERHAZY and other illustrious personages are expected to join his MAJESTY'S suite before New Year's Day. Sir B. Br:ooNr _ FIELD returns from Carlton Palace to-morrow. A recent paragraph in an evening paper, announc ing a change in his MAJEsTy's Establishment, has no foundation in truth whatever. HAWKERS AND PEDLARS.—I t is the intention of the Officers of the City of Oxford to prevent itinerant dealers vending their goods in the public streets, under the Hawkers and Ped lars' License. Legal opinions have been taken on the subject, by which it appears that on J;: , *r or market days they are allowed to vend their articles in the public market only; but that they subject themselves to a penalty of 101. by selling or exposing to sale goods or merchandise in any public street of a corporate town; and prosecutions will be commenced for offences so committed in future.—(Oxford Herald.) • FRi. PA RD 0 N.— The Newcastle Chronicle says, —His MAJ EST Y has been most graciously pleased to grant a free pardon to John Reynolds, ai.las John Diet, who was tried at the last Northum berland Assizes, and convicted, subject to the opinion of the Judges on a point of law, for ma liciously shooting into the Swallow Revenue Cutter, on the coast, near New biggin. He has been accordingly discharged from prison. It will he recollected that the point reserved was, as to the Swallow having hoisted the proper colours ; and that Diel's leg was shattered in the action, and amputated when they left him at Boomer. TURKISH SUPERSTITION.—A German Paper says, that the Turkish people are now much affrighted .in consequence of an old prophesy of an Arabian Astrologer, named A CH AM, who main tained that the conjunction of planets, Saturn and Jupiter, would be productive of important effects on the Ottoman Empire. Those planets are now nearly in conjunction, and the terror of the multitude is therefore very great. RunlN Kowm, who served as an Hessian under Prince CONSTANTINE, in the wars carried on in 1673, with the Turks, by the illustrious Kinz, of Po land, JOHN 111. then in the 95th year of his age, and who afterwards wrote a history of them, re lates in his work many extraordinary circum stances respecting the Turks and the Astrologer ACHAM. At six o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the glass-h ouse o f M essrs . R rAn and Co., in White's yard, Rosemary-lane. It began in one of the vaults underneath the factory, where some cinders,_ which had been shot there from th e furnace, havin g ignited, the fire had communi 7 cated with some billets of wood which lay close by. It w as , h owever , f ortunate l y discovered in time, and extinguished without doing any ma - rial damage. So very numerous were the geese in town that the holders were selling them on Saturday arid yesterday at two shillings each. Four to five shil lings were got for them on Wednesday.—(Glas-. gori. , Chronicle.) FASIITONAttLr AltnivAr.s.—The Rev. Fester Piggott, at the Cumberland Hotel„from Windsor ; Capt.

EDITOR—In the perusal of your Paper of this evening I was struck by a series of errors, in a paragraph relative to the intended consecra tion of the Royal Chapel at Brighton.-Ist, You state that the above solemn ceremony is to take place on Monday next—that is not the case— Tuesday is the day fixed.-2nd, The Members of the Choir of hia MAJESTY'S Chapel Royal are the only professional persons ordered to attend, though it is true that Members of St. Paul's Choir will be present, as holding appointments in both Choirs.-- 3d, The names of Messrs. SLADE, KNYVETT, and BELLAMY, are incorrect ; there is not a Musical Professor (I believe) of the name of Slade; Mr. KNIFETT, I regret to state, is too much indis posed to attend as Organist to his MAJESTY; and Mr. BELLAMY, not being of the Chapel Royal Choir, will not attend—the latter Gentle man is now performing at Bath. I am, Sir, Your's, &c. York Hotel, Dec. 28. MUSICUS. _ _ *** The Paragraph alluded to by our Cor respondent was copied from a Morning Paper o yesterday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE Tnr...vrar.—A more favourable recep tion attended the new piece of Giovanni in Ire land, last night, at Drury-lane Theatre--The scenery and processions, &c. have been much facilitated and improved by practice, and the piece constitutes a superb exhibition, which can only suffer in comparison to the splendour of THE CORONATION.—The farce of Who's who followed, and the whole concluded with The Romp, of which Miss KELLY gave a very diverting portrait, and Miss CUEITT sang the Mocking-bird song, from Guq Mannering, so admirably as to procure a warm and unanimous encore. There was a larger audience than could reasonably be expected in such Inclement weather. The Earl of COVENTRY, in addition to very handsome abatements made by his Lordship within the last five years, has, at his late audit, made very liberal deductions to his tenants, nut by an indiscriminate allowance of a per centage upon tl j rent of each farm, but according to the period of time at which the tenants took their estates. A RUCIINUNTUYI AD HOMINEM.—JAMES FERGU SON, the ingenious mechanic and astronomer, was travelling once in a stage 7 cOach in which there happened to he only another passenger, who was a Sectarian. The'man being brim-full of zeal, kept the discourse continually on the subject nearest his heart, and pointed out passages of Scripture incessantly, exclaiming, as he uttered every text or disjointed passage; " Is not that scrip ture ?" Ferguson at last grew quite impa tient, and told his fellow-traveller, that upon his principles he would undertake to prove the lawfulness of suicide. " How so ?" vociferated the scripturist. " Why," returned the mathematician, " Judas went and hanged himself." is not that scripture ? "Go thou and do likewise."— Is not that scripture ? This put an end to the conversation, and the parties went on to the end of the stage in silence. Last week a farmer of Math, in Kent, by mis take gave his waggoner a sovereign instead of a shining, for allowance, when poor Robin turned it over and over, and laying his head clown on his shoulder, evidently appeared not pleased with his present ; his master inquired if he thought the shilling was not good. " No, master," ex claimed Robin, " I think not, as it has a horse on the tail side." The farmer's eyes were imme diately open to the error he had committed, and readily exchanged the piece of money, giving Robin a white shilling bearing the ar.ns of Bri tain quartered, instead of the offensve horse.

Among the extraordinary phenomena the of present period, may be reckoned several beau tiful rainbows, which both on Wednesday and Thursday were apparent, extending their bril liant arcs between the western and northern quarters of the Heavens. MERCANTILESIIIPPING ) &c. DEAL, DEC. 28.—Wind S.S.E.—It has blown a tremendous. gale of wind from the S.S.E. great part of the day, and still continues. A ship and brig arrived from the westward ; the brig went to RamSgate Harbour, and the ship brought up in the Downs,• supposed to be the Caledonia from Bengal. :slue. of the ships in the. Downs have drove much, although riding with 2 anchors down and top-gallant masts and yards struck, parti cularly the William Fairlie Indianian and the Coromandel American ship. Some of the vessels have suffered during this tempestuous day. The Phoenix, for New South NVales, was riding under Dungeness the 26th inst. all well. St vEI.I O'CLOCE.—Wind S. more moderate. ILFRACOMBE, DEC. 27.—PaSsed up Channel the Albion, Price, from (iibraltar ; she passed a large quantity of balk and deals on 2,lth inst. PoitTsai° writ, DEC. 23.—Wind S.—lt has blown hard all day from the S.E. and S., and no communication has been had with the ships. The Ellen, Barton ; and Belle Alliance, Rolfe, have drove, but the whole of the vessels appear to be riding in safety. HARWICH, DEC. 28.—Arrived the Sarah, Bell, from Shields, with loss of anchor and cable ; and the Pauls of the windlass upset ; Margery, Biggs, from St. Petersburgh for London, with loss of anchor and cable ; she sailed on the 23d inst., and has experienced dreadful weather. Several other vessels have come in, some with loss of anchors and cables, but it blows too hard for any boats to go off'. Sailed the Prince of Orange packet, for Holland ; and Lord Nelson, ditto, for Cuxhaven, each with mails. DOVER, DEC. 28.—1 t has blown a strong gale last night and to-day. At 1 P. as. the wind shifted from S.S.W. to S.E., and blew a tremendous storm, with rain, until four, when it shifted to the S.W. and more moderate. MARGATE, DEC.2:i.- --- Tfiell;;;Kich arrived yesterday, reported she saw a large ship working up the Swin yesterday, and from her description, some hopes are entertained that it may have been the Juliana. A large ship parted from her anchor, but has brought up again. YARMOUTH, DEC. 28.--. The St. Louie, Coudin, from Rochford for Havre, was towed in here yesterday, with loss of mizen-mast, foretop-mast, and bowsprit, and otherwise much damaged ; she must discharge. A collier, froth Newcastle to Jersey, with bottles and coals, has come on shore at the back of the Pier ;—she is the Industry, Dubois. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the undermentioned Captains were sworn to the command of their respective ships, viz :—Capt. John Barnett Sotheby, London, Madras and China • Henry Andrew D run -- mond, Castle Bundy, Bombay and ehina. A Berwick smack arrived in the River yesterday, and reports having SE:.r the wrecks of three vessels on the Yarmouth Sands. DISPATCH.—The Triton, Bussey, sailed from Boston, the 9th of September, arrived at Liver pool in 18 days; was there 25 days, and returned to Boston the 21st ult. in 30 days, making the whole time she was absent only 73 days, and she had a full freight out and home. DUNGENESS LIGHT HOUSE.---By farther infor mation of the awful effects of the lightning, which, as stated in our last, struck the tower in the forenoon of Sunday, we learn, that a chasm two feet in width, in a gig-zag direction, has been made in it from the top to the bottom.-- The rooms, through all of which the electric fluid passed, were strewed with the rubbish of bricks and mortar, the materials of its construc tion. Some old reflectors, and the tin utensils for cooking, were, some melted, others rolled up like a scroll. The small dwelling attached to it below was wholly unroofed, and the en tire building so shaken as to render it dan gerous to ascend for the purpose of lighting, although a light continues to be sheen; and it is not improbable that the first violent gale from the northward may tumble the whole fabric to the ground. As soon as the state of the building was perceived, Mr. Marshal, the Assistant Sur geon of the Coast Blockade, visited it for the purpose of rendering any assistance that might be required by the inmates; and although the shock appeared to be most severe in the room in which the Keeper of the Light House and his family, consisting of eight or nine per sons, were assembled, it was gratifying to find that, providentially, not the slightest injury had been sustained by either of them. The Light House is, we believe, the property of T. W. Coat, Esq. of Norfolk, and must he taken down and wholly rebuilt.—(Kentish Gazette, Dec. 28.) CHRISTMAS Honsr. Snow.—The Yorkshire Gazette says—" This show commenced last Monday ; but as the Mart was confined prin cipally to the stables of the Inns both on Mon day and Tuesday, it was difficult to determine what business was done. It, however, got known that several buyers had arrived, and that good horses of every description «ere likely to be in considerable demand. One hunter was sold from Mr. Hardcastle's stables, the White Swan, for the high price of 200 gs. ; and coach .horses and roadsters fetched freely from 50 to SOgs. each. Great hopes were anticipated of Wed nesday. and Thursday, and in some measure realised. The fair became general nearly over :lie whole city. The supply of horses was im mense, and coach-horses and machiners were in uncommon request. A fact came to light from these purchases, worthy recording. It appears, that the extra demand for coach-horses arises out of the new regulations of the Post-office, which it is said cause the death. of two horse son an average in three journies of 200 miles. Horses fit for the public coaches therefore met with full prices, and much business was done in the fair, by coach proprietors from all parts of the kingdom." There is a copper coin in the possession of Colonel Ross, of Nigg, of a size somewhat less than a farthing, which was found in the ruins of his old farm offices. On one side of it the Scotch thistle is easily traced, but the impression on the other side seems difficult to ascertain. The date, however, is perfectly distinct, being 918. We cannot venture to affirm, that fhis is a Scotch coin, the silver penny of Alexander 11., 1214, being the oldest we have any knowledge of. The coin in the possession of Colonel Ross, however, deserves the attention of the antiquary, as it may strengthen the belief that there are Scotch coins of older date than that last mentioned.—(lm:er ness Courier.) , TIMIDITY OF THIEVES.—As llerdsfield, the officer who attends the Guildhall Justice-room, was passing on Monday evening, in the City road, near where the Canal intersects it, he ob served three suspicious looking fellows with an apparently heavy load in a sack : although Herds field is but a small man, and there were three stout fellows to resist him, and in a place where there was bat little chance of his procuring as sistance, no sooner had he challenged them and required to know what they had got, than they threw their load at him, and made off in different directions. On examining the sack, it was found to contain a roll of about 50 or 60 yards of fine flannel, no doubt stolen from some shopkeeper in the ❑eighbourhood. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOVV.STREET.—OzovAx2iI IN IRELAND.—Yeiltertiar, eleven o'clock, Bond, the officer, against whom Mr. T. 'B Cu; of Soho-square, preferred a charge of assault on Thurs day, attended before B. BIRNIE, with two persons, who he said would prove all that he had stated with respect to the con duct of 'lllr. Cox, to be true. Those persons were, a publican in Newgase-market. and a tradesman of the same place. Mr. cox was called, but did not answer, nor did he appear in the course of the day, and the matter therefore rests for the present undetermined. A man, pi respectable appearance, who did not give Ilia min!, complained to the 11Iagistrate, that on the night of Mi. Cox's affair he was in the two-shilling gallery, and feeling much displeased at the pie ce , ent i t l e d " Giovanni in Ireland, he hissed, and cried " Off, off:" Upon which a man, who said lie was an officer, seized him by the collar, and dragged bins from the seat, and he was turned completely out of tee theatre. Ile was going again that (last) night, with a party of friends, to the boxes, and he wished to know whether, if he should think proper again to express his disapprobation, he would be likely to experience similar treatment ? The Magistrate said, that would deptned, of course, upon hie own conduct. If he behaved properly he would not be molest ed ; but if he conducted himself in such a manner as to create a disturbance, lie would most likely be similarly dealt with. The applicant said, lie had not behaved improperly ; he con ceived he had a right to express his opinion, and he was anaa ous to know, before he ventured to go again, whether for sift ply doing so he was liable to be dragged from the theatre by a constable ? The Magistrate said he could give no other answer, that that it would depend upon the demeanour of the applicant, and no would do as he pleased about going. The applicant departed, observing that he should try the matter. AaLEOITOUGII-STREET.—CRIeI. Cox.—Yesterday, a, case came ass. charg.• from St. Anne's watch-house, of which th., following is an outline :--The parties are, a Gentleman, bald, ing a situation in the E'cise, and the wife of a reapectalele tradesman. The husband having a suspicion of his wife's infi delity, waited within view of an accommodating hotel in the neighbourhood of Soho-square, when he saw his wife and her cher ami come out. Ile commenced an attack upon the marl, administered to him severe personal chastisement, and then cent both to the watch-house. The Magistrate had not the power of affording maltase to the husband, and the case was dismissed. The wife, who has three children, walked from the office un der her seducer's arm. 111assioNallousta—NOVEL CHARGE OF FORCERY.—A man named James Henderson was brought up on a charge of having feloniously altered the number of the sixteenth :thereof a lottery-ticket, for the purpose of obtaining the amount of:the. share in another ticket, which had been drawn a prize of P.OOOl. Mr. Bish stated, that some time since there was a ticket,taern bered 18,8611, which had been drawn a prize of 20001., sad the number and amount had been published in the usual manner. About a week ago the prisoner presented a sixteenth, whicil: wait marked 18,8611, and asked what the amount of the share gas, and at the same time demanding payment for it. Upon exami nation, it was found that the number had been altered from 18,26 S to lthalfl. The clerk to whom the prisoner presented the share detained it, but suffered him to depart. lie came, however, yesterday morning, to the office, at Cornhill, and in sisted upon having the money for the ticket, whiCh he per feted in declaring to be the same as he had bought, and that he IJ;d not altered it in any way. Under these circumstances, Ale. Bish said he was under the necessity of giving the prisoner into the custody of an officer.—The prisoner voluntarily stated, is his defence, that he had bought the share for 11. 4s. of Bish's clerk, when he was interrupted by the Lord Mayor„wbJ informed him that he was saying too much, and that, fur his own safety, he had better reserve himself. The prisoner, }ow_ ever, declared that the ticket was the same that he had bought, and that he knew no more of any alteration having been made in it than the child unborn. Mr. Isish expressed his regret that the prisoner had not had sufficient prudence to take himself off when he was at liberty, and had called again, which gave him (Mr. Bish) no alternative but to consign the prisoner to the law. 'l'lle Lord Mayor ordered the, prisoner to be remanded, that no tice of the ease might be given to the .Solicitor for the Stamp.. office. The prisoner, who did not appear at first to be aware of the serious nature of the Charge preferred against him, scented all at once to be struck at his dangerous situation, and made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the officer on his way back to prison. CiI'ILDHAI.I.--Vesterday Mr. li Unitale, the Secretary of the Coleserr cgiosae AssociaTiox, applied to the Sittig Magistrate, Alderman Tno 'insole, for a warrant against see other of Carlile's men, who had succeeded the two who had been taken out of the shop on the day before, and on a charge preferred by the same witnesses as in the cases of the latter, for selling Carlile's Address to the Reformers of Great Britain, which was sworn to be the same Work as that on which verdi,:ta had been found, declaring it to contain blasphemous and sedi tious libels. Alderman THOMPSON, without hesitation, granted the wive rent, • and it , :was put into the hands of Leadbeater, the Marshal man, who went, accompanied by the two witnesses, to identify the man, but returned shortly after without the prisoner. It was understood that the man against whom the warrant had been granted, had left the shop, and h a d b een succee d e d b y another. lIATTON-GARDEN.—IMPOTITANT TO FARMF.It9.•—YeS. terday, Mr. Teesdale, the Inspector of Pavements in Somers town, brought up to this office Richard Criblee, the driver of a country waggon, for not having the name and address of the owner and a number upon it. Mr. Ilaiteinsi appeared for the defendant, and pleaded that the owner's name was on the waggon. The plate was produced before the Magistrate, but in such an obliterated state, that it could not be seen sufficiently cl ear , accor di ng t o A c t of Parlia ment, to exonerate ttic defendant from the fine. The prosecutor urged most strenuously the want of a num ber on the waggon tor a second conviction; but Mr. 1 - lARxrat successfully cc. -.tended, that as the waggon came from a great;r distance than five miles from Temple-bar, a number was net necessary : and after reference being had to several Acts of i'ae.. liament, it was decided by the Magistrate, that beyond tire miles from Temble-bar a number was not required. ( crw quently, it is not binding upon farmers living more than five miles from Temple-bar to have a number on the carts and wag gons which they may have occasion to send into town ; bht their name and address must be inserted in legible characters on a prominent part of the vehicle. UNION-HALL.—ROBBERY OF A BLEACH-GREEN.—J. Dillon, J. Miles, J. Bartlett, and J.lliennett, were brought be fore T. B. A LLEYN I: and It. limsomi, Esqrs., charged with having robbed the extensive bleaching grounds of Mr. David Dixon, at Mitcham. Mr. Dixon stated, that on the night of the 20th November last, his bleach ground was robbed of 20 pieces of unbleached . calico. On tile 24th of the same month, he received an anony mous letter, charging the prisoners Dillon and Miles with hav ing been concerned in the robbery ; and in a few days after he received information, on which he could rely, that the prisoner Bartlett had been seen going towards his bleach grounds after twelve on the night the robbery was committed: in consequence of which he obtained warrants for the apprehension of all the prisoners, Bennett being a known associate of the others. Charles Shepherd, a printer at Mitcham, stated, that on the night of the robbery he was standing near his door, *little alter twelve o'clock at night, and the prisoner Bartlett passed hint in the direction of Mr. Dixon's bleach-green. The witness spoke to him, as they were acquainted, but Bartlett made no reply. The witness added, that the direction in winch the prisoner Bartlett was walking was in a contrary way to his home. John West, a boy, apprentice to the prisoner Miles, who is a chimney-sweeper at Mitcham, deposed, that on a Monday, about three or four weeks ago, he went with his master front Mitcham to London in a cart, and that near the turnpike they were suet by the prisoners Dillon and Bartlett, who had a bag with them, which his master assisted them to put in the curt, and all came to town together. On coming to town, they drove to Islington, where the bag was taken into a house and empti,a of almost all its contents, in which state it was replaced in the cart. The party then drove to iient-street, in the Borou g h, where they dined on beef-steaks, and while at dinner one of the prisoneis said to the witness c.Eat away, for your m as t er h as done well with the soot atuff." his master desired him, if, on his return home, he should be asked where they had been, to say they had been sweeping the chimneys of a workhouse in Streatham. The witness and his master went back the same day to Mitcham ; the other two prisoners stopped at a public house on the road. This witne , s was cross-examined by Mr. Ttirgroen who was Counsel for the prisoners, but did net vary from his direct evidence. Ile admitted that he did not see what was in the bag the prisoners brought to Islington, but he knew it was not soot by the feel. Mr. TunToN contended, that there was no evidence on which to commit the prisoners. Mr. Dixon said that circumstances connected with the rob bery were coining to light daily, and if farther time were al lowed, he had no doubt he should produce conclusive evidence. The Magistrates, after some consultation, remanded the pri soners till Tuesday week. Thursday night MICHAEL CONWAY, a letter man in the London Docks, being on duty on board a vessel, and walking on deck, was by a sudden gust of wind blown oft and drowned, be fore any assistance could be rendered him. He has left a wife and two children to lament his loss.
