Mrs. EDITOR,--From my former letter, the Public may naturally, but erroneously, suppose, that they- are much worse off now than they were under the system of Assize, and that, therefore, a return to that system would be an adequate re medy for the evils exposed in my last. I beg, however, to - state, in reply to such a very natu ral conclusion, that the same kind of peculation (to calf it by that name) was practised under the System of Assize, as that under which they now suffer, although the combined exactions of the miller iipOn the baker and of the baker upon the Public, never reached that height which they have latterly attained, yet that an overcharge was (when we had an assize), constantly practised in the following manner It is notorious that not one half of the flour sold in.

INVESTIGATOR. London, Oct. 26,1821. LORD STEW ART. RT. KING AND CONSTITUTION CLISBi*SUNDERLAND. IFurther Particulari—frorn " The Durham County. Adver tiser" of Friday lest.] Yesttiday afterrobn, abOut two o'clock, Lord and Lady Stewart, Sir H. Hardinga, Mr. and Mrs. Littleton, and Miss Fitzclarence, left DUrbarn flit Sunderland, in two carriagesand six. They were met near Bishopwearmouth by an immense concourse of people, who received the illustrious visiters with. the most enthusfesticacclaniefions ; the hOrses were taken froni his Lordship's carriage, and he. was drawn triumphantly irno the town amidst the loudest cheers. When arrived at the Golden Lion Inn, the street in front of which was literally ren dered impassable by the density of the crowd, the Noble .LOrd alighted, and almost immediately presented himself at a win dow on the first floor,_ from which he addresied the assembled thousands, thanking them for the very flattering reception 'they had given LAY Stewart, himself and friends. in allusion to a petition which he had received against the use of machinery. in the conveyance and shipping of coals,. his Lordship said, he would gladly join with the other coal-owners on the Wear, in ,4tdopting any plait - which - might be c.onsi.lered beneficial to the interests and. welfare orSiunierland -and its population. His Lordship spoke for nearly half an hour. Lady Stewart after wards appeared at the slndow,- and paid her respects to the friends who greeted her. Between five and six o'clock, Lord Stewart, Sir H. Hardinge, and Mr. 'Littleton, were introduced to the Members of the King and Constitution Club, with whbm they had been invited to dine., At six o'clock, the whole party, consisting of upwards of 100 gentlemen, sat down to a most elegant dinner, prepared by Mr. gay. - Thomas Hopper; Esq. of Hendon, tilled the chair, having on his right 'Lord 'Stewart, Mr. Littleton, Mr. Robinson, tne Collector .of the Customs, and Mr. Wade, of Hylton Castle ;. and on his left Sir Henry Hardioge, Mr. Illowbray, Mr. Reed 'Of Thornhill; and. Mr. Bramwell. The Vice Presidents at the lower ends of the three tables were, John Davison, Esq. C. S. Hill, Esq. and J. D. Garthwaite, Esq. The cloth having been removed, the Chairman Tose, and after a well merited panegyric on the puhlic and private virtues of our most excellent Sovereign, end a happy allusion to his gratifying reception not only in Ireland, but wherever he has been, propoSed " the 'health of his Majesty George IV. and long .may he continue to reign over us." The toast was drank with four times four, and followed by the most raptur ous applause. The national antheib - ofm God save the king" was then sung in a most beautiful style, by two gentlemen amateurs, members of the Club, joined ,in grand chorus by the whole -company . . The next toasts in succession were " The Duke of York and the Army," with nine. " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," with-nine. "-The rest of. the Royal Family," with nine. " The Lords Commissioners, who, under the authority 'of his Majesty, now" Cenduet the affairs of this kingdom," with nine. .-• • The Chairman then observed-, that. not many years ago, they had been accustomed to assemble on that day (25th October) to drink the health of their late revered Sovereign; arid, though they could no longer celebrate the day ,in that manner, yet he conceived they might endeavour to honour the memory of so beloved a monarch, by drinking ,on the anniversary of his ac cession, " The immortal memory of King George III." drank in silence, ;...ending. "Succession in the House - of Bruns wick," with nine. " Our glorious Constitution, the pride of Britons and the admiration of the world," with nine. 4 Lord Liverpool and his Majesty's Ministers," with nine.—LOnd applause. • The Cuarnsrme now rose to propose the health of the noble and illustrious individual whom he had the pleisure to see on his right hand, and who had come this day to honour the Club with his presence.. He (the -Chairman) felt gratified, and he was persuaded that every-Gentleman present -must also feel gratified, by the cordial and enthusiastic reception his,Lordship had that day met with. - He would assure the • Meetine;, that the Noble Lord had himself declared to him, that-he felt par ticularly anxious for the welfare of Sunderland. The Chair man concluded by proposing " the health Of Lord Stewart," with nine. Thunders of applause followed this toast, and which continued for some minutes. Lord STEWART, in rising to return thanks, confessed his powers of speech totally inadequate to express the gratification lie felt at his reception in doors and out of doors this-day.-- When he saw around him so many of the most respeceable in. habitants of this great mercantile town, and considered the ho nour that had been conferred upon him by the invitati on t o di ne with them as MeMbers of th e King and Constitution Club, he might feel proud: Ile came amongtt them, twoyeers ago, a stranger,. being then known to them only . as the husband of the daughter of their late respected friend Sir H. V. Tempest:- . They had since had opportunities of knoiving hiM better, and he considered their reception 'of him to-day-as a testimonial of the friendly recollection and affection of the town. Their hav ing twice elected him to the honourable post of President of the Exchange Rooms, he considered as another testimonial of their regard. This Club had been established during his ab sence abroad ; he rejoiced in its formation; and he trusted its principles would . tend to crush the hydra of discord, and the new hydra of radicalism. He felt satisfied, that alt.parties would unite in renovating the Constitution,..which.formed the basis of our happiness as a nation. He was 'anxious to declare, that as long as he possessed or had the management of any.pro perty in this county, he would endeavour to enjoy the friend ship of all parties within it. He was an ',enemy to that paper warfare, which sought to disturb the harmony of our fire-sides. He considered that we are all children of the same nation ; and that, when we are not engaged in the struggles of electioneer ing, we may litre upon terms of friendship without any sacri fice of our principles. He should be glad to see all parties unite hand and heart, and observe a neighbour-like and gentlemanly conduct towards each. other. He regretted the existence. in this county, 11l it Newspaper which tended to destron those links which should bind society together; and he considered it somewhat hard, that while enjoying his property here, he could not take up a copy of that Newspaper which did not calumniate kiln. He wished his, sentiments upon this subject to go forth to the county. So long as lie should wield the property which he possessed in this county, it would be his anxious wish to unite all parties--Whig or Tory. Party men or placemen should be equally welcome to his board. Though he said thus much. he uoulet crouch to no man; and when the time should arrive when it might be necessary fur him to chew his princi ples, and to act up to them, he would ht: found at his post.— His Lordship concluded by observing, th a t h e h a d s t a t e d th us much as he had few opportunities of expressing his sentiments to them. He was no orator, and lie trusted they would receive what he had Said as the genuine effusion of his heart—(Loud and long continued applause.) Some 'oasts followed, and— The CHAI nsisasr then gave " Lady Stewart and the House of Wynyard," (with nine, followed by thunders of applause.) Lord STEWART, in returning thanks, assured the meeting that Lady Stewart inherits all that attachment and devotion to the country which distinguished her respected father, and that she is equally anxious for the welfare and prosperity of the port of Sunderland.—(Applause.) • J. DAVISON, Esq. begged to propose a toast, which he had given a few months ago, in the presence of gentlemen now in the room, ", The Heir of Wynyard, and long may he live," with nine.—(Loud Applause.) Lord STEWART begged to return thanks on behalf of his son, till lie was able to do so .himself. He inherited a little of the coal, and a little of the shamrock, and Iris Lordship trusted he would be the no less acceptable to those whom he addressed on that account. •It would be -his study to bring him up in those principles of loyalty to the King, and obedience to the laws, which were so essential to the public happiness and welfare. " Mr. Littleton, and the independent Freeholders of the county of Stafford," with nine.—(Loud Applause.) Mr. LITTLETON, in a neat and energetic speech, returned thanks. He rejoiced in the similarity of sentiment which per vaded the counties of Durham and Stafford. It had ever been his object to promote the interests of the kingdom at large, re membering always that our comm erce an d manufactures are the very bones and sinews of our country. He would always be found ready to assist in removing any clogs which might in terfere with these or apiculture. Lord STEwAnT, in proposing the health of the President,- Vice-President, and Stewards, observed, that there was no gentleman whose friendship he was more anxious to continue to possess, than that of the President, Mr. Hopper. The toast was drank with nine, and loud applause. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and gave " prosperity and permanency to the King and Constituti o n C lub," with nine. The CHAntmAN said the next toast might be thought some what out of course, but as Sir Henry ?lardinge, one of the Members of the City of Durham, was present, and a Member of the Club also, he conceived there would be no impropriety.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1821 in drinking before • the County Members ‘‘ the Eepresenta tives of the • City of Durharn.' —(Diank with nine, and loud applause.) • Sir H. HAUDINGE thenr6se to rears, he„daid, his gratefail thanks. He had long wished for an opportunity to court a more intimate acquaintance with the Meinbers of the King and Constitution Club, who had done, him the ihonour to elect him an Honorary Member. The.principles of the Chib. were in direct unison with his sentiments. "btiyalty to the King, and attach meat to the Constitution, ' were.. always considered in our best times the greatest safeguards to our liberties.. There are Per haps persons who, still under 'a delusion, continue to insult the King and vilify the House of Commons, but the delu sion he was happy to find ' was rapidly passing 'away.._ In adverting to - what his . Noble Friend had. said, •of the misrepresentatiPn and obloquy with ' which he had. been assailed by a County Pap e r (the Durham Ch ron i c l e) , he, Sir Henry, would assert, that the personal attacks made in that paper were in a spirit of 4stility so Unusual in any oth er county in the kingdom, that ta was convinced they coald not be approi,ed bu ono person of ,I s reittleniaidn tecting, who might entertain on Politics opinions dilli;rent froin those of his Noble Friend. Sir Henry then alluded; in particular, 'to the leading article in the last publicatiOn of • vie Durham•Chroniele," i n which, he observekthere is :, .teinent Copied from an Irish Paper, which in baseness and • ignity 'eaeaeded any thhig of the kind which had ever disgraced the columns of a newspaper. The calumny ofwhith he spu4e was invented against the father, - lately deceased, and made to reflect upon the son; and the Edi tor, in making the wretched attempt to circulate the slander, had • taken care to point with the utmost malignity against his (Sir Henry's).Nroble and Gallant Friend. He (Sir 1 - I.) could not believe that any gentleman would patronize and encourage such ' a disgraceful sample of the licentiousness of thepress ; and he would not, therefore, credit the reports which were in circula tion of the particular patrunake which that Paper receives. His Noble Friend would never shrink from the performance of his duties, and he would always be found ready to. defend his character when aspersed. 'Sit' Henry then addressed himself to those Freemen of the city of Durham- whom he around him, and whom he irad net .. previously . had an opportunity of seeing since hiS recent Teturd to,the County.. He assured them. that 'his principled' Were I those 'Which had 'carried this coun try successfully through a long and arduous contest : and that no partial or temporary interests • shouldever interfere with his duty to the country at large. Be reminded them, that it was not the Constitution alone which ensured our liberties, but that the liberty of the subject also. depended on the maintaining the prerogatives of the • Crown. Several toasts followed : amongst them— Mr. Garthwaite introduced, in a very elegant and impressive manner, the health of " the Marquis of Londonderry, and the House of Stewart," with nine, an long continued plaudits. The CHAIRMAN now announced that the Ladies were ready to proceed to the ball, and waited only the company of the Gen tlemen ; and, after wishing the party good evening, be left the room, accompanied by Lord Stewart, Sir H. Hardingc, Mr. Littleton, and several other Gentlemen. The Chair was after wards occupied by John Scott, Esq., and joy and hilarity reign ed till a late hour. The company was enlivened during the afternoon and even-, ing with seveltal excellent songs. The ball 'exhibited a' very brilliant appearance, being attended by all the rank and fashion Of the town ,and neighbourhood; and the day passed over with. out the slightest accident or tumult. On Tuesday last, Lord and Lady,Stewart, accompanied. by Sir Henry Hardinge, Mr. Littleton, M.P. for Staffordshire, his Lady, and Miss -- Fitzdarence, arrived at the Waterloo Inn; in this city, from IVynyard. • - • - . On reaching. Shincliffe, the distinguished_party were met by some hundreds of the Freemen of Durham. and Others, who, with a band of music and - numerous banners, had thele asseni bled to pay their respects to Lord and Lady Ste Wart and the City Representative. The six beautiful horses which were harnessed to his Lordship's carriage, were speedily removed by the anxious populace, who drew the noble pair and their child into Durham, followed by twee carriages and feta. At, the top ' of Hallgarth-street, the horses were taken from the other car , -riages, and the whole were then - drawn in 'procession by the people down Elvet, along Elvet Bridge, round the Market , place, and back to the Waterloo-inn, where•the welcome visit.. ers alighted amidst the cheers and plaudits which had accom panied them during their progress through the'city, the band playing " God save the King:" - Lady Stewart soon after wards presented herself at one of the windows of the spacious Inn, having in her arms her infant, son. Her Ladyship was received with the most enthusiastic cheers; which she acknow ledged by graceful curtsies. Lord Stewart then came forward to the adjoining window, •and addressed the hundreds assent - " bled beneath, who, notwithstanding a heavy rain, continued to crowd Old Elvet. His Lordship thanked them, on behalf' of Lady Stewart and himself, for the affectionate and cordial re ception they had a second time exPerierierni on their arrival in this ancient and respectable city. He assured them that what ever influence he possessed, whether in his public or private capacity, should ever while he lived, be exerted to convince them how highly he esteemed their good opinion, by attending to the individual as well as collective interests of the inhabitants of this populous county. His Lordship 'said, that every penny arising from the very. considerable property in this neighbour hood, which was placed at his disposal, through - the affectionate kindness of the individual so dear to him, had been wholly ex pended in the county—on the extensive works at the, collieries and in improving the e st a tes. Wh en h e l as t h a d th e pleasure of seeing them, about two years ago, he had promised them that he would soon return to take up his residence and remain amongst them, as long as his public duties would permit. He had also as sured them that be would bring back to them the beloved child of their late honoured and esteemed friend, Sir Henry Vane Tempest: --he had brought her back to them, and he was proud to say, as happy a woman as when he took her away a bloom ing rose from the banks of the Tees. The pleasure of those whom he addressed would not, he was sure, be diminished at witnessing the addition which had been made to his family 'and happiness, in the person of the infant son, who had this day been presented to them. •He would not now enter at length into any explanation of his public conduct it was perhaps neither the time nor the place for doing so. He was no orator, but a soldier, and therefore unaccustomed to make speeches, yet he could not but observe, that during his absence from the county, his character had been shamefully traduced, and his conduct cruelly misrepresented. He would, however, be found at all times ready to defend the one and maintain the other. lie confided in the noble sentiments and feel ings of the people of this county, which had always been ma nifested towards him, and which, he was sure, would i n d uce them to spurn from them insinuations basely aimed at his cha racter, and to hear with c a nd our hi s d e f ence . H e wou ld not now detain them. They had already, he feared, from the very unfavourable state of the weather, got wet on the outside ; he wished them now to retire, and get wet within ; and whilst they were drinking to the health of their wives, their friends, and those who were most dear to them, he entreated th, in to recollect that amongst those friends they had none more truly zealous than his lady and . himself. He again thanked' them for their cordial and hearty greetings, and concluded by expressing a hope that the infant heir to the house of Wynyard, whom he had presented to them, would be as zealous a defender of loyal and constitutional principles, and as warm a friend to the people of the county of Durham, as, he trusted, trey should ever find him. This speech, which was delivered with great animation and feeling, was followed by the loudest applause. After Lord Stewart had withdrawn from the window, Sir Henry Hardinge stepped forward, and th an k e d t h e assembled multitude for the friendly manner in which they had received his noble relatives. He felt happy, also, he said, and sincerely thanked them for the very flattering reception which he himself had experienced. As he bad so lately had the honour to ad dress them from that place, he should not now detain them on account of the very unfavourable state of the weather to which they were exposed, and he therefbre took his leave. Four cheers followed the speech of the worthy Member. When Lady Stewart appeared at the window many persons were struck with the strong resemblance which her Le.dyship's features bore to those of her late lamented father. Her Lady ship seemed to be suffering from fatigue. His Lordship and Sir H. Hardinge appeared to be in excellent health. These dis tinguished individuals, together 'with Mr. and Mrs. Littleton. Miss Fitzclarence, Thomas Wilkinson, E sq ., R ev . Ed w . Davi son, John Gregson, Esq., and Stephen li em bl e, E sq., after wards partook of an excellent dinner at the Waterloo Inn. On Wednesday Lord Stewart and friends visited his Lord ship's-recently purchased estate. at .South Eiddick and his col lieries on the %%rear ' and returned to Du r h am i n t h e even i ng, which they spent at the house of Lord Viscount Barrington, in the College. .About no of the freemen and others were the same evening entertained at Lord Stewart's expence, at the dif ferent public-houses. OUTRAGES ON THE MILITARY. At the LEEDS BORO U GIi r , ISiONS, on the 22d inst. Wm. Wright, Thomas Kirkbright, John Ilardeastle, Benj. Asquith,' Matthew Carrett, and Abraham Wilkinson, were indicted for riot and assaultupon the Leeds Voltinteers.—Mr.WAlLEs, as'counsel for the prosecution, stated the case, and proVed by testimony, that a small number of the Leeds Volunteer Infantry returning in a most orderly mariner from a dinner given in com memoration of the colours presented to the Regi- Ment on the 19th July - last, were wantonly as sailed .by an 'infuriated rabble of not less than 200 persons, and beat and injured in a most seri ous and shameful way, The Learned Chairman, HENRY TAYLOR, Esq. (Mr. Hardy having de clined trying the cause, on account of his being Col. of the,VoithiteerS) surnmed up the evidence. with great clt-arness, the Jury reared for three, quarters ofan hour, and returneda verdict ofGui/ty, against Asquith, Wright, Hardcastle, and Wil kinson, recommending the two latter to the mercy of the Court ; and Carrett and Kirkbright, Not Guilty.--Asquith implisoned and kept to hard labour, in the House of Correction, at Wake field, for 12 calendar months; and that, at the expiration of that term, he be bound to keep the peace for two years more ; himself in 20/. and two sureties in 10/. each, or one in 201.—Wright, six months, and to. find the same sureties for 12 months more.--Hardcastle and Wilkinson, three months, and find sureties for . 12 months more.— This trial occupied the attention of the Court nearly eight hours and a quarter: At the WORCESTER COUNTY SESSIONS a bill of indictment was preferred against 13 persons for riotous conduct on the day of the Coronation, to the great annoyance of the loyal inhabitants of the town, who were assembled at dinner at the Dudley Arms. The party alluded to decorated themselves with white favours, and paraded the street oppo posite the windows of the dinner room, .and con tinued to do so for some time, shouting " Queen s " . and " Queen for ever ! " and by degrees, as it became dark, excited the mob to acts of outrage against the " King's men," as they termed those who were partaking of the festivities of the day. They began by attacking some individuals of the Ilimley and Enville troop of ‘Yeomanry, who cre regaling themselves at the Dudley Arms, and proceeded presently to demolish, with stones and brickbats, the window of the room in which they were, and in a very short time there was sclrcely a whole pane of glass in it. 'F he windows of a room above, where the gentlemen of the town were dining, were also attacked, and the party obliged to quit the room, and break up, after a few toasts only had been given. Many of the indi viduals who went out to quell the riot were most severely beaten ; and in reading the Riot Act, the Magistrate (Mr. Ilawkes) was assailed with brickbats and large stones, and his life was in imminent danger. The ordinary and special constables who were sworn in on the occasion were shamefully beaten, and for some time over powered, and it -was found necessary to as semble the military force in the yard of the Dudley Arms, to act only in case of the most urgent necessity. Soon after the Riot Act was read, by the great exertions of the constables some of the ringleaders were secured, and the mob dispersed without the assistance of the cavalry. The above facts, and that the attack was altogether unprovoked, were indis putably proved by the most respectable witnesses, whose testimony was, as to the extent and atro city of the riot, corroborated rather than contra dicted by the witness-es for the defence. Against four only true bills were found. After the evi dence on both sides had been gone through, the Jury signified to the Chairman, that as they were quite satisfied, it would be unnecessary for him to sum up the evidence ; and immediately they returned a verdict of Guilty against four of the defendants. The Chairman (Earl Mount morris) passed sentence first upon the two prin cipal offenders; that they should severally be imprisoned in the county gaol for 12 calendar months, at the end of which time, each should pay a fine to the King of 101., and be further imprisoned till it was paid, and each find security for his good behaviour, himself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each for two years, from the ex piration of their imprisonment. As to the other two, there was no evidence against them of wear ing badges, or encouraging others to riot, and it appeared that they had been led by others into the commission of the crime of which they had been found guilty. The Court had taken these circumstances into consideration, and its sentence upon them was, that they should be each impri soned in the count y gaol for six calendar months. —(Gloucester Herald.) The Duke of ITA3HuroN and BRANDON has generously granted to the tenants of his Grace's Arran Estate, abatements out of their rents of crop 182, to the amount of threelhousanttpounds. By the Earl of LONSDALE'S direction, says die' Whitehaven•Gazette, the last -half-year's - rents, due some time ago, are not to be paid until his Steward, Mr. BLNN, has completed a survey of his farms in that neighbotrhood, in order that reductions may be ►nade according to their re spective value. At the Meeting of the horticultural Society, at Canterbury, yesterday selnnight, six onions were shewn, the aggregate weight of which was eight pounds, fourteen ounces. They were of the Portuguese kind, and were grown by the gar dener of the Earl of LIVERPOOL ; at Wah►►er Castle. L I M E'R I C K. NEwcisil.c., in' whose neighbourhood the pre sent distnrbances exist (according to Ferrer's History of .Limerick, published• 1787), is twenty miles from the City of Limerick, in that part pf the County of Limerick, on the high-road to Kerry, and is a handsome market town. In the account of religious houses, Ferrers mentions one possessed by. the Knights Templars at New castle. It is said they used•some barbarous:cus toms, which greatly displeased and disgusted the Irish, who watching a favOurable opportunity, 'attacked a number of the Knights:riding out to, gether and put them to :death ; the place is Still TigrregOilyffi4 where•-theiii;bones were interred. Fn the famous Council of Vienna, the 22d March 1312 (Blaire's Cluonolozy)titiV Knights: Temp= lars were suppressed, and Way, their.grand Master, was buried alive at Paris the year follow-, ing. This seems to confirm the opinion that their practices were inimical to religion and humanity. After the suppression of this Order, the Des- monlans possessed themselves of the Castle, for tifications, and a large , tract of_ country pear Newcastle, which becoming forfeited to the. Crown on account of ,Desmond's rebellious con duct, were in 1591 granted by Queen Elizabeth. to Sir Wm. Courtnay, Bart. the fifth of that name, ancestor to Lord Viscount Courtnay, as a reward for his brave conduct in Ireland. ' Lord Viscount Courtnay is descended in a di. rect line from Hugh, the second Earl of Devon ;- Sir W. Courtuay was Knighted in July 1599, by the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. (See Prince's Desmonii Orientales, pages 187, and 52.) Sir William settled his Newcastle estate on his 4th son George, to whom the manor of Ma= yone was left by his uncle, Hugh Oughtred, he taking the name of Oughtred. The Manor Bewley was also settled on Geo. Courtnay by Robert Strode ; but his son Francis Oughtred Courtnay dying without . issue, the' three Mandri,, _ - which contain the whole .of Lord -, Courtnay.' estate, reverted to the elder branch of the famiir, in which it still (as Ferrer says) continued. When the large farms went out of lease,, Lord. Courtnay divided, and set theM in diviSiOns an easy rent. If other . landlords (so Ferr - er writes) pursued the same_ line of conduct, the poor would find support, and not be forced to seek employment in distant Countries. Much. of distress arises from the avarice of those men who take large parcels of land and let therm again. to the highest bidder. The ground near Newcastle is mostly occupied by dairy cows, and the butter is disposed of in Cork, though at a great distance. The farmers' here would be very happy if Lord Courtnay was enabled to make long leases ;—until this be done, the country can never be improved by building or planting. Newcastle consists of a large square where the market and fair are held. On the northern side stands the market-house, with an assembly room. On the southern side is the church, which is by far the neatest and best in the county. It was finished in 1777, at the sole expense of Lord Courtnay, and, contains a painting of his Lord ship's arms. The following inscription is placed on the tablet bearing the same : Ut benefactorum pietas, et munificentia Posteris Innotescant, Gulielmum Vicecomitatem De Courtnay Hoc memorat tabula, Hu fusee Ecclesice Fundatorem, A. D. 1777. The building is light and elegant, adorned with a square turret, finished above with eight pinna cles and a cupola in the middle. The church stands close to the walls and fortifications of the Knights Templars, of which one of the castles is fitted up as the residence of Lord Courtnay's agent. Now, in 1821, a large portion of the estates was some time since sold, partly to Lord Chief 'Baron O'Grady, partly to Mr. Luke White— Mr. poold, the eloquent and distinguished Irish Barrister—Mr. Stevelly, the Irish Six Clerk, and to some others. On Monday, while a gentleman in Wellington square, Ayr, was busied at his toilet, a pane of glass in the window, near which he stood was in stantly shivered to pieces, and a fine brown phe sant darting' across the room, struck violently against the opposite wall, and fell stunned on the floor. It is supposed that a hawk had been in pursuit.—(Greenock advertiser.) PRICE SEVENPENCE.
