The .ATTORNEY GCNERAL opened the case in a very eloquent and able Spe.ech of considerable length, recapitulating the crimes with which the Prisoner stoo d charged, which, after a minute in. vestigation of n number of witnesses, were clearly proved, in evidence. • The evidence for the Crown having been dosed, the Pdioner declined calling any Witnesses in"his defence, and allowed the case to go to the Jury on such evidence as bad been adduced on the part of the Crown. The Hon. Baron GEORGE, with his usual t y and precision, recapitulated the evidence which had been adduced, and the Jury having retired only for a few minutes,• returned a verdiet of Guilty against the Prisoner. 116-7 rilmmt - haviug beenasked, in the usual form; if he rood any thing to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him—he addressed the Cop t in an eloquent and energetic, though ra. theta somewhat unconnected speech of about so minutes,: in which he took a view of the principal Ir ahsailions of his life for the last 1 3 years ; and on a retrospeatve view of which, he said, he looked with triumph and satisfadion: he endeavoured to vindicate his conduit from the criminality attached to it, by 'roaming, that in all he had done, he acted fr9ln the conviction of his conscience ' • and anxiously request e d t h at the Court would make him not only the first, but the only life which should be taken on the present occasion : mercifully S paring ta , the i r familie s an d f riends ' the lives of those men, wnom•'t was asserted ht, had led astray. And the lion. Ba. o n Gtioa oil, in an address of considerable length the Prisoner, most sincerely famenteds 818"11" a variety of other things, that the Prisoner had not Heart, en d owed with better principles, and a better lean, than that which he had lately, as well as on inrmer occasions, manifested ; and expressed his most anxious wish that the prisoner would employ the little time he would have in this world, in mak' ill hi s peace with Go, an d in endeavouring to stone for the incalculable miseries his crimes and infatuated condua bad brought, and will bring, upon 'not a few of the members of that community of ' : 4 14 be himself was once a worthy and a deserved. 1 Y esteemed member. The Learned Judge then pronounced the awful itntenet of the Law, which the Prisoner listened to `llth great composure—bowed respeCtfully to the k;ourts and then retired in custody of the Sheriff: The a b ove trial occupied the attsatioo.4sf the k.ourt from ten in the morning till past eight in the c DUBLIN, OCT. 22. • • • (111.

MILFORD HAVEN, OCT. 22. Till , ' town was thrown into considerable alarm the day before yesterday, by the arrival of the 67th Regiment, composed of the Royal Irish Atmy of Reserve, who being hailed by, the vigilant IPeich from shore, were answered in the Nat 'e Irish from the Ship, which being mistaken by the Welch for the French -language, an Affidavit was made that the Enemy had partly disembarked, and that there were many more ships in the Offing.--A scene of the greatest confusion ensued-.the troops under arms—women in hits, and children trying. In confluence of an order from General Watt r. LOcue, the different drawbridges of the garrison of Portsmouth are every night drawn up at eleven o'clock, and not let down till sunrise next day. The Duke' of GLOUCESTER'S Loyal Volunteers met at their usual place of muster yesterday after noon. The Colonel, Lord Cit ETW v No, upon their meeting, having formed a circle, addressed them in a neat appropriate speech', informing them that he had received the commands of Her Royal High ness the Princess SOPHIA of GLOUCESTZ R, to pre. sent them, in her mune, with a Pair of Colours, I, which, in giving into their lianas, it was with a confidence that the trust reposed in them, was such as would never be betrayed. If called in. to real Aloft, they would need no other stimulant. than the cause they were embodied to suppOrt, and defend-.-a cause that combined the dearest ties that render life valuable, and called far every exertion in defence of their Religion, Loyalty, and Honour. In given them the Colours, his Lordship added, he had no doubt that the Corpa would defend them up. on all occasions with the last drop of titeir blood and he trusted that the Almighty Being that ruled all events, would crown their honourable efforts with complete success. The Corps received the ad. dress with three cheers. The Qu et la's Volunteers were yesterday review. ed by the Earl of 1141 t RINOTOIi t in Warren's Field, Pimlico. His Lordship and suite arrived at three o'clock ; after being 'saluted by the Corps, he passed the line in (tont arid rear, the band playing " Gal Save the K;wr i " 1:114 whole line then, formed into grand divisions, and marched. by his Lordship in ordinary and quick time ; after which they again formed the line in most, excellent order, and went through the manual exercise in a very masterly stile. They then fired by Companies, from centre to flank; marched by files, and the line being once more formed, fired by divisions, and, lastly, by battalions, the whole of which they per. formed with the greatest precision, and to the com plete satisfadion of Lord _l4 _ARRINGTON, who com plimented them very highly on their excellent state of discipline. , After the evolutions of the Brigade on Monday were concluded, Lord HARRINGTON. proceeded to the Globe Fields, Hackney, where the Milt End, Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Sr. George in the East, and Radcliffe Corps, were brigaded, with whose steadiness and soldier-like cantina his Lordship ex pressed great. satisfaEtion. The St. Andrew's and St. George's Corps were • inspeded by Lord HARRINGTON yesterday morn. log. The SOmerset-House Corps receive their Colours to-morrow. Yesterday' morning, at hail past seven o'clock, the 144 1 Association had a general muster in the Temple . Gardens, and fired for the first time; the first discharge was a valley, which was, as , is seldom the case -it the first firing, although they may have been some time in pralice, very correetly given i the rest of the firing did them great credit. corrietness In' firing may in some degtee be attributed to the audible, distinct, but yet short manner in which the word of command was given by Major 'Pot Ab, who was .fortnerly its .the Re. gulats, The St. Clement Dines Volunteers have re. ceived permission from His Highness Pll4lOll WIL LIAM of GLOM.: F.

Mr. BARD 7.1 the partieutar request of the Corps and 7".incipal inhabitants of the perish. His text WAS from Nehemiah, 4.th chapter, and on of tfiel4th verse,:—" Remember the Lord, who is wear and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your urns anti your daughters, your wires and your houses." lilt: a Z• 4 -4,J.....,4 Covelst-Cardein StikKRSPEARP.'S admirable Tragedy of King Henry the Fifth is very properly revived at this period, as it abounds with passages calculated to give full scope to the patriotic feelings of a British audience. There was sire a peculiar propriety in bringing this excellent piece forward last night, as yesterday was the anniversary of a battle in the highest degree honourable 'to the martial spirit of this country, a battle in which the hero of the play signalized his prowess and conquered that Country which now .menaces destruCtion to the only State in Europe that dares set bounds to the ambition of the Gallic Usurper. Ktma La gave dignity to the gallant Monarch throughout his performance, and marked the im. passioned and humorous passages with great area. He was particularly successful isi his courtship of Katherine, which was manly, easy, and spirited. MtrateMC took rather too much pains with the Duke of Exeter, rendering almost every word emphatic, and giving the whole in too pompons and bouncing a ingn ner. Indeed his redundance of emphasis and swelling energy were at times tic metvhat ludicrous. Coley had a temperate firmness in the 'King of France, very creditable to his judgment. Mr. C. KFI\IBLE, and Mr. H. St nooNs, gave-sufficient importance to the Dukes of Gloucester and Bedford, The Play is revived with much show and mili. taty bustle, and as Hwy is one of KENIBLE's best charailers, it will most probably be revived with success. The House was very well attended. The Play concluded with God save the King, which %vas warmly applauded. Mr. Las came forward again in The Paentla last night as Drury-lane Theatre. He did not improve in our opinion 01 his merits. His voice is certainly extensive, st tong, and well-tcned, anti he blends his natural notes very well with his/a/se:to, but he has much to learn before be will be eupable of taking a lead in musical chatasers. Like his Prototype BRA. rata, he is perpetually incliried to warble away the original substance of the Air, at the expence of every thing like sound taste, and proper expression. We .hatt great reason t 6 sweet last night that he has by no means a uotreEt ear, for several notes seemed to be quite otauftune. He was very well received by an audience not very numerous. Mr. STErmax N,astator . has adopted the plan of , issuing transferable Tickets for the season or the Nell/Cilktle Theatre, and the plan is always likely to secure him at least well filled boxes. A daughter of Mt. Bettsult, of Covent-garden Theatre, is with STltiento Kest ar-e's Company, :and though very young,, displays great theatrical abilities in the comic line. She Is a very elegant and accomplished young Lady.

BEDFORD, according to report in the higher 4 01siping circles, is likely to prolong the li n e o f the noble House of MIMEO,' in the spring. Mr. Hoer has resumed his 'hospitable career at his house in Cavendish-scram —He had a large party of friends to a splendid dinner on Monday. The estates of the present Lord - Lunt,ow are likely toprove of mach greater value than was cx. peeled.
