agitators to purchase each a small, quantity of gunpowder for them in the City, on pain of hying their houses burnt and their families destroyed, very prudently waited personally nu the principal dealers in gunpowder, and cau tioned them not to sell any to persons whom they might have reason to suspect. The dealers puOmptly held a Meeting of their body at the Mansion House, and, much to their credit, resolved that, during the present disturbances, they' would not sell gunpowder to any one not persdnally known to them, unless he produced satisfactory references as to his character. We observe with pleasure, in a Cork Paper, the letter of a Clergyman, resident in the mos disturbed part of the County, exhorting the Magistrates to call a general meeting of the respectable inhabitants, for the purpose of de vising and adopting prompt and efficient measures for mitigating the alarm produced by the perilous condition of the Country : and which has been so excessive, that many families have deserted their houses, and retired into the towns for pro tection. At a time, when the Established Clergy of Ireland, ate so grossly misrepresented and calum niated (see our extract from The Morning Chronicle of yesterday), it is highly satisfactory to find•this Reverend Gentleman courageously remaining at his post, amid the general panic and flight of his neighbours. The libellous asper sions of the Chronicle, upon the whole of the Irish Clergy, had no better fonndation than one Memorial from the Inhabitants of Castle -I)layney, to the Lord Bishop of CLOGII En, tom . Plaining of the want of a resident Rector in their parish ! If the absence of one Rector from his benefice could justify The Chronicle for attribut ing the discontents, as one cause to the general " non -residence of the Clergy," the conduct of the Reverend Gentleman whose letter we have alluded to would equally entitle another party to maintain, that all the Irish Clergy are distin guished for their energy and zeal in discharging the duties of their functions ! We do not, how ever, choose to run into an extreme, merely because a contemporary has betrayed himself into one by his malignity or his prejudices. The truth is, that, amongst so numerous a body as the Established C lergy, there may be some who are unworthy of the sacred trust reposed in them. We know that there are many who are distinguished for their learning, their piety, and their zeal, and for the active and useful virtues to which these give birth; and , we doubt not, that as a whole, they Possess as great a portion of pastoral excellence as in . th e present state of mankind can well be ex pected from any equal number of persons si milarly circumstanced. Sir N. C. COLTIIURST, M.P., Colonel of the C►ty of Cork Militia, has left Cork for Dublin, th e Staff of his Regiment having presented a me morial, requesting to be employed in the suppres sion of the disturbances. JOHN CHURCH, Esq. M.D., who made so able and praiseworthy a resistance to the White Boys in their attack near Listowell, is manager of the large estates in that neighbourhood belonging to ViscOUTlt ENNISMORE; and it is clearly ascertained t hat these depredators are persons who have c ome into Kerry from the county of Limerick w ith a view of disturbing the neighbourhood of Listowell.

Tl:esday COURT 'OF IiIIiG'sJIENCII=-(Tuis D.vr.) " JOHN BULL." This morning Messrs. WEAVER; SUACKELL, and AfiItOWiMITIT, were broUght up for judg ment, for a libel upon the late Lady Wrottesley, of Staffordshire, the daughter of the Earl of Tan kerville, and sister of Lord Ossulston and the lion. 11. G. Bennet, M. P. The parties suffered judgment to go by default. It will be recollected that the libel appeared in the John Bull Sunday Paper, and severely attacked Lady Taukerville, Mrs. Bennet, and other Ladies, for their visiting the late Queen at Brandenhurgh House, and made some allusion to the character of Lady Wrottesley, who had been dead some time, which was the libel now complained of. Several affidavits were put in spewing that the defendants never saw the article until it appeared in print, and that they had offered every apology. After Counsel were heard on both sides, the Court sentenced the defendant Weaver to pay a fine of One Hundred Pounds to the King, Shackell and Arrowstnith to be fined Five Hundred Pounds, and to be imprisoned in the custody of the Mar shal of the Marshalsea for nine months, and, at the expiration of that period, find securities to keep the peace for three years, themselves in Tree Hundred and Fifty Pounds, and two sure ties in Five Hundred Pounds each. CV RRENT REPORTS.—The Marquis of CONYNG. HAM is to succeed Lord CHOLMONDELEY as Lord Steward of the Household, and Lord ROCKSAVAGE is to be called up to the House of Peers by summons.—The negotiation for the entrance of Mr. CANNING into office is said to be broken off. He is at present at the seat of the Duke of PORT. LAND. The Duke of MONTROSE is again started as a Candidate for the Chamberlainship. Another arrangement is talked of, by which the Marquis WELLESLEY will be the Chamberlain, and thus join the Ministry without a seat in the Cabinet.-- Among the other rumours respecting changes, it is said that Mr. CANNING iS to succeed the Mar quis of HASTINGS, as Governor-General of India ; and that the office of Lord Chamberlain, or Lord Steward, is to be offered to the latter on his return. BRIGHTON, Nov. ‘22.—The KING yesterday took several turns on the Palace lawn, but did not appear in public. The continued dampness of the weather to-day has confined his MA JESTY entirely to the Palace.—Lord ST. HELEN'S joined the Royal suite here last night. There have been no arrivals at the Pavilion to-day. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD set off for London this afternoon.—The attendance of Nobility at the Palace, to pay their respects to the KING, by leaving their names in the hall-book, has been very great, both yesterday and to-day. Repul sive as is the weather to out-door pleasures, yet the presence of the Sovereign has imparted a cheer fulness to the town, visible in all quarters, and which was unknown to it before. Several horses for the saddle,&c. belonging to IIiSMAJESTY'S stud, ar rived at the Royal stabling yesterday and to-day. The following is the copy of a letter addressed to the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex :-- `November 23, 1821. " GENTLEMEN—As it is evident that a large body of the enlightened and respectable part of the community are deci dedly against the severity of the present criminal code, and more especially of that part which relates to the punishment of death for the forgery of Bank Notes, it has been thought desirable to call a Public Meeting , in reference to the cases of the persons under sontence of death for next Tuesday ; and the undersigned request you will have the goodness to call the same." Extract of a private letter, dated Tunis, Sept. :—" Tunis is very healthy, but is a shocking dirty place, and the trade falling off very much. The DEy has purchased several old vessels of different nations to make ships of war of,and is now fitting out five to go against the Greeks; he has four tine ships building, two under a Frenchman, the others under the direction of Turks : but it will be a long time before they are ready for sea. Not one of his fleet escaped the gale ; they were all totally lost, with about 2000 officers and seamen." TILE DUKE OF MONTROSE.-From the latest accounts received from his Grace, ice are happy to state, that he is much recovered from his late severe indisposition, and he is able to proceed on his way to London. His Grace was expected to arrive at Hatfield yesterday, where his letters were d:.cected. Our youi:.; countryman, Mr. NS - Ist, of Water ford, who has recently married the eldest daugh ter of LUCIEN BUONAPARTE, is shortly expected to return home. His wife, and one of her sisters, will accompany him.—( Dublin Morning Post.) SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—The following took place on board the Brilliant :—On her passage from Fortune Island to this port, on the 19th August, a large fish was seen along side the schooner, supposed to be a Dolphin ; one of the crew felt anxious to capture him, and for the want of some other bait drilled a hole through a dollar and fastened it tohis hook, which he threw over the bow of the schooner ; but it was soon discovered that both the bait and the hook were missing ; the second hook was then baited in the same manner, which shared the same fate. On the ‘2lst August the third attempt was made with the same kind of success ; four days after, it being calm and the schooner having run about 300 miles, a Shark was caught with a bowline which contained two of the hooks baited with two of the dollars. In about 15 minutes after a Dolphin was caught which contained the other hook and a dollar.--( Hampshire Gazette,Arnerica.)

BRITISH INSTITUTION.-1 1 111S admirable Insti tution has been productive of the most important advantages to British Artists, for during the in tervals of its exhibitions it has opened its Rooms in Pall Mall for A SCHOOL OF PAINTING, in order to give our juvenile artists an opportunity of copying those valuable pictures which the liberality of the respective Proprietors have allowed to remain at the place for that purpose. This School of Painting, we understand, is to close on the present day, in order to prepare for a new exhibition of the works of British' Artists: The spirit and fidelity with which the exquisite works of the Old Masters have been copied is really astonishing, and it M a y n at ura ll y b e ex peetVd-that the steady examination of the ori ginals, necessary to produce such faithful copies, cannot but improve the taste arid enlarge the - mind of the student. Indeed, but for the fresh,- ness of the colouring, it would be hardly poisible to distinguish the copies from the originals. We ought not to close this brief notice without a .due acknowledgment of the attention, judgment, zeal, and affability which have markedtheiutelligent superintendance of Mr. YouNG. A BarcfacedßOßßElLY.—An old woman, walk ing through St. Giles's, had the spectacles snatched off her nose. A servant near Limerick Wrote to his master in Dublin that he had secured the iire.arms, having sent all the pokers and twigs to the bar racks. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUNISTANICE.—The cas cade and the gravel walk, at the east end of the Serpentine River, exhibited a curious ap. pearance on Sunday morning last. Th e dyk es had given way next Kensington, and the torrent of water became so impetuous that the banks overflowed, carrying with it multitudes of fishes.

(Yttß ~ PROLOGUE • Intended for the Comedy of " LOST LIFE." Written by Jonbr TaYLon, Esq. LOST LIFE I—methinks I hear. some Critic say ' The name's too solemn for a comic play; 'Tis fitter far for tales of tragic strife, The subtle poison, and the desp'rate knife; The sprightly I%luse should come without a frown, And with a laugh put Vice and Folly down.'— Lost Life—the name presents a copious theme, For moral counsel, or for Fancy's dream. If, by Lost Life, lost time, our Author means, Who can escape from Satire's searching scenes I How many must lament their time was lost, Ensnar'd by passion, or by Fortune crost. Some hazard life itself, with all its joys, In fond pursuit of visionary toys, Which, could they reach, would quickly pass away, Like-airy bubbles of an infant's play. .Our brave Defenders of the Sea, and Land With nobler aims the rage of Death withstand, Exult/co' think, when sirikei the fatal ball, Their litres well lost, if they .for Britain fall. But these-are subjects of too grave a kind, We now attempt to cheex not wound the mind. The, life that's lostamid our scenes to-night, We•hope will rather please you than affright. But hold—l seem the fable to forestall, Wait but an hour or two you'll know it all, And While to gain ynur smiles with Zeal we strive, May our Lost Life for many a night survive. • This Prologue was written by desire of the Manager, who being indispfterl, was not aware that one had been written by the Author of the Comedy, and studied for delivery by Mr. COOPER. THE THEATRE.—Mr. KEAN last night resumed the part of Hamlet at Drury-lane Theatre, and with his usual success, though a larger audience might have been expected, considering the repu tation of his talent's. We saw nothing different in his performance from what it was originally. He had no,doubt settled his mind upon what he deemed the true '- , ..onCeption of The character, and having been successful at first, he naturally con tinues to adopt the same manner. This Uniformity on his part forms a 'singular contrast to the opi nions of some of the diurnal critics, who at first praised as beauties what' they now represent as errors. But .whatever may be his merits-or his faiths it will, as we have before ob;erved,-be his best policy to pursue the path Which at'fi'tst led to his popularity. Mr. CoorEit, for the first time, 'performed the part of the Gh os t, and we may venture to affirm that it could not he'tepre sented with more critical precision. His firm and powerful voice delivered the text with suit able solemnity, and made a steongiinpression.— Ophilid Wasrepresented with truth and affecting simplicity by Miss KELLY, who indeed renders full justice to whatever she undertakes. A lady, named FORD, of high musical preten sions, i 3 soon to appear at Drury-lane Theatre, as Rosetta, in Love in a Village. Her voice is uncommonly powerful and extensive, and if she possesses theatrical talents in proportion, will in deed' prove an extraordinary acquisition to that theatre._ • The lait'New York Paiir states, - that Mr. BOOTH, who . had just terminated Lsu-:cessful en gagement at the New York Theatre, left that city on the '2lst October for the South, to fulfil his erigagemg"nt w ith,the Managers of the Charles town and Savannah Theatres. Monsieur Tonson has been brought out with success at the Dublin Theatre ; Mr. TALBoT is the hero of the piece. Mr. WARDE and Mrs. BARTLEY played Mac beth and Lady Macbeth at the Dublin Theatre on Monday night. A liberal subscription isopened at York, under the patronage of Lord Dust) ts, for improving the interior of the Theatre of that city, so as to ren der it one of the handsomest in the kingdom. ANCIENT COINS.—On Tuesday morning, while some workmen were excavating the door of a shop in the Overgate, Dundee, they found a number of crowns, half-crowOs, r, T d shillings, of the reigns of Elizabeth, James, and Charles the First. The most of them are considerably corroded : .but,upon some the face of the Royal Maid is plain : and on others, the kingly pedant and his unfortunate successor arc repre sented upon horseback, wearing the diadem, and with a ~drawn falchien in their hands. 7 ---Tht.impreis T ions are well struck ; but the edgesiare extremely- rugged. As the house in which`'-they were found is of no antiquity, it is supposed that some cautious citizen may 'have depogited, them under ground to save there from :;:the grasp of Cromwell's saints, when their leaguer of Dundee terminated in the slaughter of many of her defenders, and the giving olli§Eiphes as a prey to the spoiler. DarAnrui. melanchbly circum stance took place at the Greyhound Inn, New market, lasts: week. Two young Gentlemen, E. M. EsqjtiThis brother,.arrived at the above house, froukcambridge, and spent the day there. Between seVeti and eight o'clock in the evening they prepared to return ; the waiter brought in their ,box.coats, when the younger Gentleman desired hiMto be careful how he handled them, asthey.contained loaded pistols. The man put the coats down, and retired, when the Gentle man who had given the caution took the pistols from the pockets 'of the coats and laid them on the table. Mr. M. then requested his brother to see if the gig was ready ; he had scarcely retired for the purpose Is hen he was alarmed by the report of fire-arms. He instantly ran back and on en tering 'the room found his unfortunate brother streched on the floor, a corpse. On examining the body it was found that the bal) had en tered the cheeit, and passed into the head. Both candles were extinguished. An Inquest was held on the body, and a Verdict of " Insanity" was returned. The unfortunate Gentleman appeared about twenty-two years of age, was highly re spected, and allied to a family of the first respec tability and property.

MR. EDITOR-4D the account you have given of the proceedings of some of Lord NORTH AMPTON'S Tenants, at a public, dinner in' 'Spa Fields, mention is mad e o f a Society, called the " Co-operative and Economical Society," whiCh k said to have planted itself in that neighbour hood. The name of Spa-fields is so associated in my mind, and probably in that of most of your readers, with the idea of turbulence and seditiOn, as to excite no small degree of curiosity to ascor tain what are the nature and objects of theSti.- ciety alluded O.—The circumstance of the health of Mr. OWEN, of New Lanark,-'having been proposed at the dinner, would 4ead me...to conclude that the Society has something to Ala with the plan proposed by that Gentleman ;.acid yet, if I recollect aright, his aim was to draw, us from the Cities and great Towns, and to lodge' us all in Villages. One s rather puziled, thefe= fore, to Make out how any persons, professing to act upon his principles, cart be accessary_ to such an enlargement as our present-overgrown %Metro polls is receiving at the hands of the Noble Mar.. quis, on his Spa-fields estate.. To 'me, Sir, who am old enough to recollect when the'access• to a little green sward was Within the compass of a moderate walk, it.is no matter of gratulation to be told that streets are springing up in the few open spaces where a citizen might catch a little fresh air:- but I have long since found that it is quite vain to repine At the changes which are daily taking place in what is called an - age of improvement. Might it not, with more propriety, be termed an age of alteration ? This questioa recals me to the purpose of my letter, which i's" to request the favour of your explaining, 'at your convenience, what this said co-operative -and economical Society aims at. GOD knows we have need enough of co-operation, in •order. to remedy the evils which are every where com plained of, and of economy in the management of our resources ; and if this said Society can spew us how such objects are to be attained, it is a secret worth knowing. But one cannot divest one's self of suspicion that something visionary is mixed up in any scheme that is analogous to that which has been offered to us by Mr. Owcii, of whose good intentions, however, no one has a higher opinion than, Sir, your humble servant, Nov. 23, 1821.
