DUBLIN, OCT. 4. A Company of the Royal Artillery, arrived last Tuesday in Cork Harbour from Plymouth, under the command of Capt. EY A.NS. Tire Triton Frigate, Captain CASHMAN, Ittnd LaFlethe , Sloop.of War, Captain DICOY, arrived in Waterford harbour on Tuesday last, to convoy the 44th Regiment, quartered 'at Geneva, to England. On Thursday last HENRY ALCOCK, Esq. was : , sworn into the office of Mayor, and joliN Bvx- CHALL and JOHN SNOW, Esqrs. into the office of Sheriffs of Waterford, for the e6suing year. A very melancholy occurrence took place on Thursday last in the County of Cavan :—As Lieut. KERR, of the Portland Yeoman Infantry, was exec. cising his Corps, a shot was discharged from the ranks, which entered his body, and he instantly fell. The astonishment produced by this dreadful circumstance may be easily conceived, as Lieut. KERR was a Gentleman much beloved by his Corps, and highly respelled in the country. Upon an investigation, it appeared that the brother of the man who had fired this unfortunate shot, had been, the night before shooting wild ducks on a neigh., houring lake, and that the innocent perpetrator had borrowed his musket, and been suffered to fall into the ranks without having had it properly): examined. Lieut. KEaR survived but four hours. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body, and , after an accurate inquiry, a Verdi& was found of Accidental Death; in consequence of which the rnms, wh o hod caused .it was admitted-to bail. • . ~ ' On Friday last, Lieutenant BROWN, of the Bar., rack .Division e in consequence of. informatiotl given to Mojor,,§llll2, appreheoled 'MAlachy' neldOY, Esc,. late late of the Cuo'uty o f Kildare.. 4 Mr. Def tl y was tried an d ,acquitted at * the' la t Siring A,siics. fol. the Count.), 'Kildare.

He ap. geared truly penitent 114 his.erirnes, and particularly lamented, that he had abandoned the doctrines of the Kirk 'Of Scotland, in -which he had been bred. for those! of she Chiirch of Rome, which he had adopted since his coming to Ireland. He made seve. rah important communications to Mr. bheriff Nitro- DEN, in Consequence of which that indefatigable Officer, Mail brag, repaired to M'lntosh's forme; house, where he discovered a concealed dpr, art.. fully formed by bricks built into a frame,, plastered over to resemble the rest of a wall, which was Co. Vered with shelves, and turning otit upori hinges and castors : upon opening this door a tier of closet rooms appeared, eoramunwating by trap-doors and scaling ladders through three stories of the house ; they were spacious enough to conceal forty men, and were provided with air.holes communicating with the outer wall. In these rooms were found from three to four hundred pikes of a very pecu. liar ' ll ruetion, having an iron hinge in about half their length, •by which they doubled up, and though when extended they were six feet long, yet by this contrivance it was possible to tarry one of them undiscovered under a man's coat. A quan. tity of sulphur was also found, and every appear.. ance of much mischievous preparation having gone forward in the house. Major SIRR brought away the door as a curiosity. Al'lntosh acknowledged to have taken the house in Pacrick.strect where the explosion was, for which purpose Emmet liad`given him money. He told Mr. Sheriff Poutlp EN there was no gunpowder inanufaaured in the house in Patrick.street : the explosion was of six or seven pounds, which had been brought there' to make signal rockets and fuses, and for which purpose was the ma. chine found there to . pulverise the .. powder, and the 'saltpetre which w as also discovered ; he could not account, he said, whii. occasioned the blowing tip of the powder. Emmet and his' comrades . had. :a ,doub t of treachery in him to them from this circumstance, insomuch, that from that time to the 2 3 a of July, they placed seri ti. nels on him, to watch his conduit ;• he declared he had saved the life of Farrell, the, Witness on his trial, who would have been put to death in th e dept in Mass-lane, but for his interference. Ur. Gamble mentioned to this malefaClor in his cell, that Etumet confessed to him, a while be fore he died, that he had but eighty men on the Might of the late insurreaion upon whom he could depend to aid him in his desperate designs. Mac. intosh acknowledged that was a WI, saying at the same time, '" o.ae If them . eishey 'was - 1." He acknowledged the.iustice of his sentence, and item, ed to be much' deOressed in spirits, on going into the cart.. - On Wednesday last the 69th Regiment of Foot, 2000 strong, marched from Nottingham fur SilVer Hill Barracks. The two channels leading into Spithead arc equal.. IY to he guarded by a considerable Na v;il force ; and We understand two second rates are to be stationed in the Needles Passage, and look-out Vessels at the h,,ck of the Isle of Wight, which will form a cur, dun with the line of Battle Ships at St. Helens. Thus every precaution will be taken to guard Portsmouth from any danger of attack. The Princess Royal, Princ e George, and Windsor Castle, will, we believe, he ordered upon this service. IN trA NT trtntit E RS.--A party of boys, amount ing in number to about fifty, on Thursday made their appearance in the Strand, in grand military "ray—colours flying, drums beating, &c.

While the, Messman was negociating fora 'Borg for the Officers to dine in (and for which an kopest farmer demanded two guineas for two or three hours) a polite invitation arrived from the Earl of THMJET, offering the Re giment every accommodation which Hot hfield House could afford, and requesting the company of the Officers to dinner, where they were entertained in a most princely style, and spent the evening in the full enjoyment of all the comforts of true 49;glish hospi. tality. His Lordship also prepared beds, which were declined by the Officers, who preferred . sleep. ing in their encampment. The next morning the Regiment marchato Bray_ bourn Lees, where they pitched their tents for the 'night, and here also they enjoyed another proof of English politeness, having received an invitation from Sir EDWARD KNATC HBULL, which was de. clined with warm acknowledgments, in conse. • quence of his seat being too far from the Camp, the Officers, therefore, dined in their tent on the Heath, and filled bumpers to the health of those whose hos pitality they had experienced. The next morning (yesterday) they marched for this place, where they . are encamped. -The Berkshire, commanded by Col. VANSITTA RT, and the. West Kent, commanded by Col.

We, therefore, advise .iVkiss. MORTIMER to keep to the Adagio style, till she,, is more pralised in the art, and, we doubt not,,,that. in due time, she will acquire variety of excellence. .

The Light Infantry then ar ranged themselves round the .church-yard, anti hav ing made a rapid movement, they had time to clean their pans, and affix new flints, before the arrival of their pursuers, who now surrounded the church. yard, and commenced a tremendous firing on every side, which was returnedlirthe garrison from off the tower and from the Willis' of the church-yard.
