—slative measures for the prol - ection of the public, to expire, i❑ a country which experience has too fatally proved was ripe for a fe trful explosion i In the British Press of this day (see our Kr tracts from the London Journals), is a well-timed and just rebuke to the Irish Nobility and -Gen try, w h o , i n L on d on, look alone to the British Government for relief. They pray to Hercules for assistance; and, if they themselves were to be the only sufferers from their supineness and imbe cility, it would be well if Hercules satisfied himself with directing them to exert their own strength to extricate them from their danger. The Irish land owners and the Irish Magistracy have much to answer for, in the calamities which afflict their country; and while we approve the frankness 'With which the Dublin Correspondent admits that the Magistrates, as a body, have disappointed the expectations which were entertained by Go vernment and the country,—that they have, by the misconduct of some, and the supine ness of others, involved the country in a state from which it can only be extricated by the firmness anti wisdom of the supreme Execu tive Poweri—we cannot withhold our appro bation of the temperate though severe re hake which the British Press has given to the absentee landlords, with whom, and the Magistrates, the odium of the present unhappy State of affairs may fairly he divided. The Dub lin Correspondent is a Ministerial Paper—the British Press writes in support of Opposition, though without any of that coarse invective and li bellous scurrility by which the Opposition Journals of the day are too generally distinguish ed and disgraced. A more wicked, abominable, canting article could not be written, than appears in The Chro nic4' of to-dayo repetition, indeed,of its sentiments of yesterday : it talks of Government embodying the yeomanry of Ireland as a measure of danger (Pas tendency ;—because the yeomanry corps, (says The Chronicle) are chiefly, if not altogether, P rotestants, therefore they must be Orangemen: Here is a specimen of Chronicle truth and mo desty, and justice ! This is a precious ex ample of its good wishes to Ireland; evident ly endeavouring most insidiously to move one f action against another. Does The Chronicle mean to persist in stating the Yeomanry Corps in Ireland to consist only of Protestants ? We will expose its hard-hearted falsehoods, if it does. When has The Chronicle acknowledg d that the higher Catholic Clergy and Catho lic Laymen have had meetings, to suppress the riots now existing there ? Never ! Why not ? The reas " is too evident to render it necessary to Point it out. BaTcwroN, Nov. 28.—The KING has not yet aPPeared iu public; but we are happy to say that his MAJESTY IS in a most excellent state of health. L°lllo BYRON.—We are informed by a Gen tleman who moves in the higher circles of Oppo sition, not as one of its advocates, or as a Trim mer on both sides, but as an impartial observer, t hat Lord BYRON recently transmitted to this country a satirical Poem, the object of which is to place in a ludicrous point of view his MA - EsTY's late visit to Ireland. It was not, it seems, intended by the Noble Author that the 1-o ern alluded to should appear in print, as he Probably followed on this occasion the practice of Sir Benjamin Backbite, who says," as my little productions are mostly satires and lampoons on Particular people, I find they circulate more by giving copies, in confidence, to the friends of t he Parties."—But we understand, with respect 100 the Poem in question, that a mode has been adopt e d which is certainly au improvement upon the plan of Sir Benjamin, as the new Poem is read at the houses of several Noblemen, by way o f a political desert, after dinner. We are of ion, however, that if the Author of the Poem had been in Ireland at the time of the Royal visit, and h a d w it n ess e d th e advantages which t ne Country will derive from his MAJ ESTY 'S Z a nnsel if attended ta, when the present un- PPY disturbances are at an end, he would not have employed his Muse in ridiculing what was certainly wisely intended by the Sovereign, and What w e trust will eventually produce a conci liatory spirit throughout the Sister Island. The Noble Author has most probably been set at Work by insidious spirits, who have taken ad vantage of his absence, and consequent igno rance of the real state of affairs, to deceive him with false information. Prince LcoroLD of SAXE COBOURG passed t hrough Nuremberg, on the 17th instant, on his : Way to Italy, to join the Princess, his mother. On Tuesday night Count Cor,concno set out from Chandos House, charged with dispatches from his Excellency Prince ESTERHAZY, for the Court of Vienna. Recent letters from a British Nobleman state, that many emigrations from Naples were daily taking place during the last month'among the Young men, for the express purpose of joining the Greek standard. We understand that the contribution of 1001. to_ th e su b scr i ption for indemnifying Sir ROBERT WiLsoN, which appeared in The Times, in the name of OTTI WELL NV 008, Esq. is an error, and Was inserted in consequence of a forged letter, Purporting to be from that Gentleman.—( Leeds Inielligencer.) A.DmtEss TO THE KING. Curs-rEn, Nov. 9.7. : --Yesterday, a respectable meeting was held at the Town-hall, ia this city, pursuant to public notice, for the purpose of vot ing an Address of Congratulation to his Majesty, on his safe and happy return to this Kingdom, after having visited his Irish and Hanoverian dominions, at which the Right Worshipful the Mayor presided. The Lotto BISHOP rose, and addressed the meeting in a peculiarly neat and impressive speech. His Lordship paid some handsome and well-deserved compliments to his Majesty, who in the late visit he had paid to his Irish and con tinental dominions, had been received by his dis tant subjects with a cordiality and affection to which he was pre-eminently entitled. Ile had been requested to prepare the proposed address, by some respectable inhab►tants; he had com plied, and he should ever feel great pleasure in meeting the wishes of the people of Chester; he observed, he had drawn up the address in such a manner, as be trusted would meet with the ap probation of all present ; that he had avoided all topics of a political nature which could create a ditference of opinion ; and in a very delicate . strain touched upon our local politics, which he said had too lone - distracted and divided the city. His Lordship, after several other pertineut re marks, expressed his confidence that this address, containing,as it did, an ardent expression of attach ment to the person and government of his Majesty, would receive the approbation of this ancient and very loyal city. if such should be the case, he should then move, that the same be signed by the worshipful the Mayor on behalf of the Meet ing, and forwarded to Lord Sidmouth, with a request, that it be laid at the feet of his Majesty with all convenient speed. His Lordship con cluded by reading the Address, which was re ceived throughout with the most marked ap probation. The Very Reverend Dean V.tconis seconded the address. Ile had listened, he said, with pleasure to the excellent speech delivered by the Lord Bishop, who was ever alive to the interests of his diocese. He also thought the proposed address was most excellent and appropriate, and so free from objection, that he could not see but it must be approved by all who had the slightest pre tension to loyalty ; it perfectly accorded with his own sentiments. The address was then put, and by a spew of hands carried unanimously. Mr. FOLLIOTT addressed the meeting as fol lows :—Mr. MAYOR-After the eloquent man ner in which the motion before you has been introduced by our worthy Diocesan, and the abi lities displayed by the Very Rev. the Dean, in seconding the same, it perhaps may be considered indecorous in me unnecessarily to take up your time: but as I was the means of this meeting being called, I cannot resist expressing my very high satisfaction at observing it so numerously and respectably attended ; being well convinced, that every person who is conversant with the poli tics of Europe for these last thirty years, and par ticularly that dreadful drama, the French Revo lution,must see the necessity of coming forward in support of the Throne, and every branch of our glorious Constitution. I believe his present Ma jesty to 5e one of the best hearted men in his dominions—and I know him to be the most accomplished gentleman. I beg leave to move the thanks of this meeting to the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester, for moving this Address, and to the Rev. the Dean of Chester, for second ing the same.—Mr. Fate seconded Mr. Folliott's motion. The Mayor baying left the Chair, the Lord Bishop moved the thanks of the meeting to hir Worship, observing, that his Mayoralty had be gun most auspiciously ; he had commenced an active career of good, and he trusted he would continue in it, and that by his future conduct he would be endeared to all his fellow citizens. The motion being seconded, it was carried, and the meeting separated.—(Chater Courant, Nov. 27.) THE THEATRE.—Mr. KENS last night again performed the part of De Montfort, at Drury lane Theatre, and they who have not witnessed his style of acting may, in this part, receive full information, as it affords him scope for the dis play of his peculiar merits. lie certainly ap pears to more advantage in this character than he did even in those horrffic distortions called Tra gedies, which for a few years past have been de rived from the dramatic writers of the Sister Island. Yesterday, at nine o'clock, Rear-Admiral Sir' JOHN Poo BtausFoßD, Bart. K.C.B. and K.T.S. Member for Coleraine, Ireland, hoisted his flag (red at the mizen) on board the Dover, flag ship, in Leith Roads, as Commander-in-Chief on this station, in room of Rear-Admiral R. AV. OTWAY. The usual salutes were fired on the occasion.—(Edinburgh Courant, Nov. 26.) As soon as the necessary repairs of the south front of the Royal'Exchange are completed, it is intended to commence cleansing the interior of that building, and put into thorough repair the mutilated statues of the late Kings and Queens of ENGLAND, which are placed in niches around the quadrangle of the Exchange. This is " a consummation devoutly to be wished," as most of them stand in need of the aid of the sculptor. The following is a pretty accurate list of the re pairs wanting, exclusive of tattered robes and broken sceptres :—EDWAnn I. is in want of two fingers ; HENRY VIII. needs a feather in his cap ; CHARLES 11. wants a left arm ; \VILLTAM 111. has lost his nose; and Queen ANNE three fingers on her right hand ; GECRGE 111. requires a left arm, and many are without shoes, and have broken orbs. There are several counterfeit sovereigns in cir culation, well executed. The reverse side of some of them seems worn, and they have no sound. — Others, supposed to be composed of a mix ture of platina,and other metals, ring when struck against wood, but the sound differs totally from that of the genuine Sovereigns. A Square, and a Crescent, are intended to adorn the open space between Sloane-street, and Grosvenor-place.

Mr. Henry Seymour, we hear, is better. The union of the Marquess of Worcester with the beautiful', Lady Paget, and that of Earl De Wilton with Lady Stanley, will, in both instances, concentrate great wealth and political interest.

The Countess of Westmeath has left her residence in St. James's-place, and removed to the apartments assigned for her in the Palace, as First Lady of the Bedchamber to the Duchess of Clarence. The junior branches of the Bedford family leave town this day for Woburn Abbey. The Marquis of Buckingham is entertaining a select party of friends at his seat, Avington, Hants. P 0 E 1' It Y. THE BEGGAR'S SONG. The MORNING CHRONICLE of this day contains a long ditty, under the foregoing title, but as it has omitted some striking mendicant facts, we beg leave to offer to it the follow ing additional stanzas, in the same measure : The great CIIA TILES Fox, in former days, a begging-box sent round, Which some subscrib'd their pennies to, and some few gave a pounff, And •a begging he did go, • did go, did go, And a begging he did go. An Alderman of London town, well known for wooden pate, The begging system put in force, to beg for Royal Plate, And a begging he did go, &c. &c. Now Bobby W.H.som tries the trick among his party fiends, And since depriv'd of martial pay, his purse by begging mends And a begging he will go, &c. &c. TO THE BREWERS.

Nae shield sic an attempt can draw Frae common sense, or statute law— Ye canna join, wi' harpy claw, • Our pence to seize ; Or mak' us drink, wi' thirsty jaw, . What stuff ye please : You ear= do't, my doughty chiels ! The public indignation feels An' Law, that equal justice deals To every station, Will listen to the loud appeals 'Gainst Combination.

The following is the copy of a Letter written by the unfortunate Cath.quit to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, on the 28th October, 1821, and previous to the Recorder making his report : GENTLEMEW—The awful situation in which I am placed has induced me once more to address you, and the knowledge that my fate is in your hands encourages the hope that mercy may yet be extended to me. When I learnt that it was not-consistent with that resolution which you had taken with respect to such offenders as myself, to suffer the plea of Guilty to the minor offence to be made, 1 preferred acknowledging my crime to vainly contradicting it, and undergoing the form of a trial, which could not have made my guilt more apparent or more hateful to me. I have in consequence received the appalling sentence of death, and now standing on the brink of eternity, I make once more an appeal for mercy to you, upon whose breath depends my existence ; coupled as my fate is with that of a confiding heart-broken wife, I have every inducement to beseech that you will spare our lives, to give us an opportunity of amending them. That I have the strongest desire to do so, the confession I have made to one of your officers, and my conduct since my apprehension, I humbly submit, are suf ficient evidences. lam moreover willing to do every thing in my power to detect and bring to justice the hidden contrivers of the nefarious system which has been perfected by the blood of so many victims, to whose number, unless your clemency shall avert my impending fate, I may soon be added. There is nothing which can be suggested that I will not essay, no enter. prise, however dangerous, that I will not gladly undertake, to accomplish this object. I have no pledge to give for this, bu t the solemn assurance of a wretched man, in too perilous a case to be insincere in word or thought. The only ground (beyond those I have before-mentioned) upon which I can lay any claim to your indulgence is, that my case, guilty as I am, is not worse than any, not a tithe so bad as some of those who have received the mercyi now implore ; none of them, I believe, had to bear the pangs of famine, and the agony of seeing a wife perishing for want of the necessaries of life. Those only who have felt such misery can tell how hard it is to suffer. Upon this subject I hardly dare - touch but I beg humbly to remind you that the long-continued prac tice of suffering offenders to plead to the minor offence, and the recent cases of Ross, Beresford, Smith, and many others, con vince me that you ha've been merciful, and induce me to believe that you will be no less so to me. I know that upon your representation to the Government de pends my life or death. Gentlemen, I implore you by that forbearance you have so often displayed to other criminals, and the recollection of which stands now, like the angel of hope, between me and the grave, which is open at my feet—by those charitable feelings to which the discharge of your public duty does violence—by your domes tic happiness—by the rew-Al promised to those who emulate the first attribute of Heaven, mercy !—by that great and good GOD on whose clemency all men rely, and " who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wicked ness and live," to weigh the awful condition in which I stand, and when you consider the temptations to which I hare been exposed, and the miseries I have borne, to. let the balance of pity incline in my favour. Recollect, I beseech you, that lam not hackneyed in the practices for which I stand condemned, that the papers I annex prove • that at no very distant period, I en joyed the approbation of gentlemen, whose praise could only be obtained by deserving it, and believe the solemn assurance, which, perhaps, may be uttered with my dying breath, that if your. mercy should be extended to me, - all that may s be spared to the of existence, shall be devoted to such worthy purposes, as may evince my gratitude for your interposition. I am, Gentlemen, in the deepest affliction, Your obedient servant, (Signed) JOSEPH CA DM AN. Condemned Cells, Newgate, Oct. 26, 1821. To the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The following letter was written on the morning of execu tion, and sent pr. the post : Half-past 5 A.M. Nov. 21, 1821. My dear -, accept my kind acknowledgments for your very great exertions in my favour; they have been crowned with success. The mercy denied me here, I find ready to be given in another and a better world. GOD bless you and your's (don't forget my wife). So prays the . Unfortunate—not unhappy (Signed) CADMAN. PRS'CEDENT.--S 1M t;EL LOVELL, a Welch Judge, and maternal grandfather to the late Mr. EDGEWORTH, travelling over the sands near Beaumaris, as he was going his circuit, was over taken by the night and by the tide ; his coach was set fast in the quicksand : the water soon rose into the coach, and his registrar and some other attendants crept out of the windows, and mounted on the roof and on the coach-box. The Judge let the water rise to his very lips, and with becoming gravity replied, to all the earnest entreaties of his attendants, " I will fol low your counsel, if you can quote any precedent for a Judge's mounting a coach-box." The Opera will open on the 12th of January next. The arrangements are of the most splen did description : the Ballet will rival any exhi bition in Europe. The patronage for the en suing year is both numerous and of the very first distinction. Another of Carlile's victims (his shop-boy) has been sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment, for one of the most infamous libels on his Majesty which ever disgraced the Radical Press : yet it is gravely maintained that, because the offender is only a shop-boy, he ought not to have been punished. The necessity of dealing according to law with the wretched tools of this hardened libeller is al ready apparent; for the shop is open, a new .assist ant is found, and the sale of libels, branded as such by successive Juries, continues as before— a fact which is tolerably illustrative of the re spect which these Radicals entertain for the Trial by Jury, an institution which they affect to praise, and of the deference which they are dis , posed to pay to the laws of the country in which they live. We should suppose that no person, however distressed, will in future hire himself to Carlile or his fellow labourers, without an express agreement that he shall be guaranteed against loss by legal expences or fine, and a sufficient allowance for comfortable main tenance in a priidn, to which he will assuredly be consigned. If Mr. Carlile will run his ill gotten gains against the laws of the land, we must see which will last the longest,—(Bristol Observer.) T II E ARMY. 20T11 REGIMENT.-On Tuesday RD ex press arrived in this city with a route for this dis-- tinoushed corps, stationed here, to proceed for . _ Ireland, on the following morning,. Early on Wed nesday they marched for Liverpool,where they em barked the next day for their destination ; but the transports weredriven backinto the portin the after noon of that day. This occurrence immediately sug gests an additional important advantage from the Da w pool e.stablishment ; for wheneverit commences operc.tion, the transit of troops to Ireland, from parts of the country south-west of :the Mersey, will be materially facilitated, in point of time, and lessened in respect of danger. In the in stance of the above regiment, had their route lain by Dawpool, only about fourteen miles hence, they might have embarked the same day, and that port allowing vessel.; to sail in any state of the tides, or course of the wind, their arrival in Dublin might reasonably have been expected on the following day. • We hope never to see that day return, when, as in 1798, the quick transport of troops to the sister kingdom was deemed so essential to the safety of the Empire.; but it is the duty of a provident Government to foresee and guard against contingencies which. may involve danger and inconvenience. Let the advantages which this infant project corn- bin es, be represented to the Executive and to Parliament ; in particular let this strong point be urged Nvith a weight due to its importance ; and we cannot doubt but the national purse will be uns:rung, in aid of a scheme which unites with local benefits the most obvious general utility.— ( Chester Courant, Nov. 27.)
