When the Military :are engaged in the destruction of any legitimate Government, they are extolled with all the •figures of factious oratory ; but when they are etnployed in laudable endeavonrs to check the violence of sedition,and preserve the public peace, they are stigmatized with breads of reprobation. Such was the case in the Spanish Revolution, in that ' 6 f Portugal, and lastly in .that of Naples. The Military who acted on these occasions, were re 'Presented as the heroes of Freedom by the sante *liters, who' wisely forbore to advert to the c landestine instigators of the soldiery,. who were, Probably, insnared by artifice, or seduced by bribery. The same inconsistency appears in the abuse which the writers in question have poured upon the High Sheriff of Dublin, and the Mili tary, whom, for want of sufficient civil 'force i lit felt himself under the • necessity of em- Pb"yiricr- to dispecse a baud of disaffected Demagogues, headed by a Nobleman i and a Lawyer who has:the Aionour 'of wearing the ?dig' s silk-gown. How well he' deserves that 'honour let his 'conduct 'speak for him. There was another person present and assisting this disaf ._ ktted Band, who is indebted to Government for his life, which .otherwise, if he had not escaped in due time by treacheryilie would most probably `lli(' justly have ended on ,a scaffold.

A night more inclement and severe than the last it would be difficult to imagine ; the northern blast lOst nothing of its violence and cutting 'edge until towards day-break, and till which time nearly snow continued to descend. The night coaches, which started from henCe for Lon don at ten o'clock, had made but a mile or two's progress on the road, when they. were compelled to turn back, the collected snow having rendered it impassable. The carriages, with four horses, noticed last night, which left this place, -filled with townsfolk, to be present at a Ball at New haven, got landlocked likewise. The road to. Newhaven, nine miles east of this place, is a con tinued and quick succession of hills and valleys. Last night the valleys were raised.. almost to a level with the mountains' summitthe appear. mice, at twilight and after, was deceptive ; one of the carriages above spoken of sunk in, and had nearly disappeared, horses, drivers, and, all within the vehicle, before the full extent of the danger was discovered. A scene of no trifling .confusion followed ; but it was a safeguard to those in the rear, and no farther advance to the general destination was attempted. This was about two miles from the .town. After much labour and more alarm, all got back unhurt to' . their several hones. The early coaches for Lon don 'this morning —those which start at six, seven, and eight o'clock, all turued -- back, after ineffectual attempts to conquer the first stage. The mail cart, which should have arrived at four, did not come in till nine o'clock this morning ; one of the night coaches from town, made its ap pearance soon afterwards. These brought infor mation, that the- fall. of SHOW had been more par tial than was imagined,scarcely any . having fallen on the north side of . Crawley, and that the first stage to Hixted was by far the worst, butthrotigh ' which, with suitable assistance, they had dug . their way, and, consequently, had left the turn pike safely and desirably open. The wind by this time had subsided, and the fall of snow had, ceased. Stage coaches for London was now the .order of the moment, and all. apprehensions for their safety vanished. The afternoon coaches came in at their usual time. A thick frosty haze .has obscured the solar rays to-day, but the wea ther has been comparatively pleasant, and many degrees warmer than yesterday,; it has been, however, far from inviting to outdoor exercises.l tindey the _chilling, circumstances namet4 • the j l KING has once more passed a day without leaving,., the Palace, and his .beloved Sister the- same ; his MAJ EST Y, as yesterday, devoted 'the. whole of .his tinte to her Royal Highness....

DEATH OF THE RECORDER OF DUBLIN.Died, yesterday morning, W. 14. WALKER, Esq., many years Recorder of this city. That Mr. Walker was an attentive, upright, and impartial Judge, needs no other proof, than the fact of his Dever missinga single day fromattending to the duties of his important.office, for six-and-twenty years, until very lately, when his health began to fail, and his course was nearly run ! He was a man of the most honourable and inflexible integrity—a sound Crown Lawyer, and a Judge who gave general satisfaction, by his great dispatch of business and quickness of conception. He was called to the Bar in the year 177 D, and lived to the age of 62 or 63. There are many candidates for the office of Recorder,. and among the rest Mr. Jonas Greene, who was appointed by the late Recor der to act as his Deputy. It is creditable to Mr. Greene that he sat on Friday last until between Six and seven o'clock, and dispos e d of u pW ar d s of sixty cases, i n order to clear the jail for any new Recorder, having dreaded the near dissolu tion of'his'friend.(libernian Journal,' Jan. 1.)

Thursday, at one o'clock, the match for 100 guineas to skait a mile in three minutes was de tided. Previously to the match being per formed the man was the favourite, and was backed at Odds at TATTERSALL'S and other places. The person selected to perform the match ap pearS to have been a countryman in the neigh bourhood of the ferA. He started a few seconds before the time, and came up in speed to the scratch at the moment appointed, and performed the distance 7 seconds under the 3 minutes. At first it was reported in town that a dispute had arisen as to the correctness of the time keepers. The report is however unfounded. The spot selected for the performance was on the fens, near to' Isleliam, , 1 miles from. Ely, and 11 miles from Newmarket. Considerable bets were depend ing on the match; and the result has surprised most persons. Indeed the speed is extraordinary, as compared with that of the first race horses recorded in sporting annals. The Beacon course at New market is four miles round, and is generally per formed in-- seven minutes, fifteen •or twenty se conds; but it is recorded that Plying Childers, for a considerable wager, being put to his ut most speed from the moment 'of starting, accom plished:it in five minutes and seventeen seconds. Mr. TREAVS Devonshire. hounds, a. few days ago, run a hare so hard near Ridgeway, that puss mounted the low roof of one of the cottages, ran. along the 'adjacent buildings, and then jumped into the court-yard of the house of a Lad y , and. made her way i n t o th e p ar l our , f o ll owe d by the whole of the pack, when the poor animal. was taken, again Waled out, and at last escaped. On 'Tuesday last, as the mail coach from Lon don was passing through :Banbury, towards Strat ford-on;avon, the coachman was thrown off the box in going over a small heap on the road, side. The horses finding themselves at liberty, set off at full speed till they came to the turnpike gate at the upper end of Neithrop, where one of the spirited leaders, in endeavouring to leap, the gate, was dashed against the gate post and killed. The harness being broken by the concussion, the other leader gallopped away. The coach man soon after coming up, drove off the mail with the two horses only. Fortunately, although some passengers were in the coach, and the morn ing very dark, no farther accident occurred.

ROBBERS.—The house. of Mr. DoLny, a Gen tleman of respectability in Spencer-street, Dos well-street-road, has of late been attempted se veral times by some desperate ruffians. Last week,. Mr. and Mrs. Dolby .being out upon a visit till two o'clock in the morning, two men knocked at the door in the early part of the even ing. The servant answered them from the area, which was secured by iron railing, asking what they wanted. They desired her to come up, as they had a hamper far her -master ; which she doubting, told them she would not take any thing in at night, and,that they.must bring it in the morning. They went. away and returned again about 12 o'clock, demanding her to come up and open the door, muttering somethino- ' to 'each other that they , wou ld•, o p en the d oor them selves. The girl suspecting their intentiml, with great promptitude and presence of 'mind, ran up into the passage, in order to make the street:- • door more .secure, and, to her great surprise,- discovered that in the short interval of her leav- • ing the area they had opened the door to the extent of the chain. She immediately closed the • door, bolted it, and on descending to the kitchen fell exhausted, severely hurting her head. In this state she laid till one o'cloclk before she was recovered. We understand the robbers have had the audacity to attempt to enter the back part of the premises twice since, but on Mrs. thilby's springing a rattle they decamped without effect ing an entrance. The depredations hi this quar ter of the town have of late been so frequent that the more respectable part of the inhabitants have • associated to pay additional watchmen, for their security against these nocturnal plunderers. _ _ ATROCIOUS MURDER AND IfIGHWAYROWIERY. A few evenings ago, a most shocking murder, ac companied by the equally heinous crime of rob bery, was committed on the person of a man named Timothy Nivel], by a. gang of ruffians, in Rosemary-lane. The object of this sanguinary deed was a native of Ireland, and resith:d at No. 14, Brooke's-court, Vine-yard, Horsely down.- On Tuesday morning, about 11 o'clock, he left his house for the purpose, as we under stood, of receiving a sum of money from his Club, in Rosemary-lane ; he dial not return again, nor was any thing heard of him till be tween nine and ten o'clock at night, when the people of the house were alarmed by some one moaning on the stairs; they listened, and heard a voice, which they knew to be the deceased's, exclaim'" 0 God, will no one help me.!" The deceased informed his landlord that he had been. knocked down, robbed, and left for dead, a short distance from the Anchor and Hope public-house, by a gang of men, one of whom threatened to blow his brains out. He died the following morning. —After a momentary connitation, the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful. Murder against some person or persons at present W un knon."—The deceased was a single man, and 3c, years old. • FIRE.---On Thursday night,,a little .before 12 o'clock, a dreadful tire broke out at..the house of Mr. JoHNcoN, cheesemonger, East , Sipitheld. o%ving to the severe frpSr, was a. ccinSiclerable time before water could be procured. As ,seen as it was obtained, every exertion was ufade by the fire men, who did not however succeed in arregiftlg the . progress of the flames till three hous'•e4 viz. those of Mr. EmmtsoN, chemist Mr. DLIT, a dyer ; and Mr. JOHNSON'S, were de,,stroyed, and considerable damage done to four. or five bowies backwards. No lives were, lost,
