BATTLE OF Titarar.oaß.--'Phis day being:the' Anniver. nary of this most brilliant achievement of the British Navy, it will be again celebrated by the Inhabitants of Greenwich and its vicinity, at the Green NI an Tavern, on Blackheath ; and we understand the Meeting will be numerously attended by persons of the first distinction and respectability in that part of the County of Bent. BRIG TON, .OC.T. 16.—The weather yesterday and today has been bright; but with " an eager and a nipping air." The rides and walks have been gaily frequented, and as the autum_ nal dip, of all others, is the more strongly recommended for its bracing qualities Lord Neptune's levees rather increase than diminish in attendants. At the Pavilion every thing remains in statu quo—the artists continue to make progress in the in terior finishing's, and not a doubt is entertained of his Majesty there, for the winter and spring seasons, with but shqrt intervals of absence, very goon after his return from Hanover. THE COMITENAY ESTATES.—These vast domains in the county of Limerick, were granted by Queen Elizabeth 'to Sir Courtenay. His descendant, the present Lord Viscount Courtenay, resides in some remote part of America, and, we believe, has never even seen his Irish property. Ile has 'been selling this old forfeiture for some years—and his sales have produced him two hundred thousands pounds sterling, which, at six per cent. would bring 12,0001. per annum—but he has still remaining 42,000 Irish plantation acres, let, it is stated, on an average for nearly 40s. an acre, and Which, therefore, yield him: 80,0001. a year, or upwards. The Couttenay property has been for some time under the management of trustees, who reside in England. By a letter from Newcastle, we learn that Mr. Hos kins resigned his agency to the Courtenay Estate on Thursday. —(Dublin Morning Post.) BLItTII.—On Sunday, the 14th October, at Sydney Place, Cork the- Lady -of - Major-General Sir John harnbert, 'of 'a dauiner. The General had j us t retu rned from Attending, in the County of Limerick, an investigation of the outrages committed there. PRESENCE OF Mmo.—Nlacartney, who was Lord Mohun's second in the duel with the Duke of Hamilton, and suspected of very foul play, fled for it. Soon after, a country gentleman being beset with highwaymen, told them with a seeming in henuity, that he was the id e nti ca l Nl acar t ney , upon w hi c h t h e ighwaymen took him to a Justice of the Peace, in the hopes of obtaining the reward which had been ofl'ored for his apprehen sion, but in consequence of which the rogues themselves were sent to goal and punished. A shopkeeper at Doncaster had for his virtues obtained the name of the tittle rascal. A stranger asked him why this ap pellation had been given him ? "To distinguish me from the rest of my trade," quoth he, " who are all great raJeal.y."— (Hull Packet.) When Dr. THOMAS, afterwards Bishop of Salisbury, was Chaplain to the British Factory at Hamburgh, a gentleman belonging to the Factory died at a village about ten.miles dis tant. Application was made to the clergyman of the township for leave to bury him in the church-yard. The parson inquired of what religion he was, and was informed that he-had died a Calvinist. " Then," said he, " he cannot be buried here ; there are none but Lutherans in my churchyard, and there shall be no other." On this being told to Dr. Thomas, he immedi ately took his.horse and went to argue the matter withthe parson, but found him inflexible. At length the doctor gained, by ridicule, what he had failed to accomplish by the force of reason.—" You remind me," said the 'doctor to the priest, " of a circumstance which once happened to myself when I was curate of a church in Saint Thomas-street : . I was burying a corpse, when a woman came and pulled me by the sleeve in the middle of the service, Sir, Sir, I , want to speak to you.' Pr'ythee, says I, wait till I have done No, Sir, I must speak to you immediately !' Why, then, what is the matter ? 4 Why, Sir,' says she; you are burying a man who died of the small-pox next my poor husband, who never had it.' " This story had the desired effect : and the Priest permitted the bones of the Calvinist to be laid in a Lutheran church-yard. . 111 niAGE LOTT ERY.-It has often been said,figuratively, that marriage is a lottery ; but we do not recollect to have met with a . practical illustration of the truth of the simile before the following, which is a free translation of an advertisement in the Louisiana Gazette A young man, of good figure and dispo-. sition, unable, though desirous, to procure a wife, without the preliminary trouble of amassing a fortune, proposes the follow ing expedient to obtain the object of his wishes. He offers'him self as the prize of a lottery to all widows and virgins under 32. The number of tickets to be 600, at 50 dollars each. But one number to be drawn from the wheel, the fortunate proprietor of which is to be entitled to himself and the 30,0Cr0 dollars."_: thew York American.) , FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.--The following important case to Friendly Societies was decided at Brechin, on Saturday last, by James Carney, Esq. of Balnamoon, and William Al lardice, Esq. of Murlingden, Justices of the Peace :—A majo rity of the Gardeners' Society voted part of their funds to pur chase a flag, which was protested against, and submitted to the Justices, by whom it was found that the funds of the Society. could only be applied to the support of members, and that 'the master and treasurer should refund• the money paid out for the flag, and have recourse to the members who voted it away.— (Glasgow Paper.) _ _ A curious circumstance occurred a few days since at Castle Baring, in the county. of Mon mouth, the seat of CHARLES BANNITYNE, Esq. As Mr. BANNATYNE, . the Hon. Mr. BROCKHURST, and Mr. HENS, were on a shooting excursion, the gun of Mr. lIENs went off by accident, lodging its contents in a thick holly-bush, whence a brace of pigs, of the wild boar species; rushed out, making a precipitate retreat to the inner most recesses of the wood. Mr. BANNATYNE fired at the lighter coloured animal, but the shot seemed to Make no impression ; the lion. Mr. BROCKHURST fired next, and laid the animal prostrate. Upon examination it was found to be a hog of the Indian kind, which, it is supposed, has, with its companion ; escaped from some me nagerie. • 0 / --- .• --, A 1.- • ,•• - /-N -.4 S i iii ~ • ••.,..,,,,a ... : ,•.... k .„,•„„..:., • ~.„7 .•‘,_, ."-- r \I; -....`.,, ----*416 ~ ,,' ,/ 0 r ., .., - .'1„,....0. , - - .- S- ,n, ki .770,..,:- _.PER 617 -y...ts•s - r . .

STEEPLE CHASE-The second Steeple Chase Match be tween Captain Smith and .11r. Honeywood took place on Tues day, from Hawtho rn W oo d, S ur r ey, to Ki nslake, for 200 gui neas aside. The distance is 20 miles, and it was done by Mr. Honeywood in one hour aid 29 minutes, over a rough country. Captain Smith took a c i rcu it through rane Wood, and swam across the Beddel river, his adversary keeping the high g r o un d in the direction of L e ith Hill. Each had many leaps, and the Captain lost the match by about a quarter of a mile, his horse refusing to leap a hedge. THE THEATRE.—The dramatic Romance of The Exile, derived froM the celebrated French novel, entitled Elizabeth, was revived last night at Covent-Gardeu Theatre with a degree of splendour suitable to the taste of the age, which •is more gratified with show and parade . than with the rational and useful objects of the stage. This play, which, on account of its magnificent, decorations, was very attractive when it first ap peared at the same theatre; is now brought for ward with still greater splendour, and was re ceived by an audience which entirely filled the house with' so much applause, that it is likely to afford the Proprietors an ample recompence• for the expense which has attended it.—The play is also cast with suchstrength in the fierformance 'as to hold forth additional claims to public protection. YOUNG, who first appeared at Co vent Girden Theatre in the part of Doran, sup ported that character on the present occasion with all his original spirit, The piece had also the powerful aid of LliTcor, FARREN, FAW.• CETT, Miss F 00TE, Mrs. F.tucir, and Mrs. TENNANT, late Mrs. VAUGU AN, whose mu sical 'taste and talents hive 'long been known in the higher concerts of this country.--Last, and not least, in the present state of public taste, was a considerable number of horses, all of which have been so admirably trained that they may be ranked among the most attractive performers of the piece. The whole is a well constructed display of theatrical merit and maii nificent scenery, and in c o rrectness, spirit, and grandeur fully equals any exhibition of a similar kind that has hitherto been presented to the public.—We ought, in justice to the pictu resque grandeur and variety of the scenery, to add that it is chiefly the work of GRIEVE and Sons, as well as of PUGH, all of whom are dis. tinguished in this line of the arts. Miss BRUNTON is engaged by Mr. TlAnnts for he, Dublin Theatre. - Waterford Theatre, opened on Monday even ing with Othello and The Reizdezvous. Mr. WARDE was such an Othello as is seldom found on provincial boards. VESTRIS, who was made .a fool of in London, was, by the Parisians, styled Dieu de la Danse. His most famous attitude was standing on one foot for a long time, with the other leg_extended horizontally. This gave rise to a portrait of him, with a goose also on one leg, its common attitude. The younger VEsTais being sent to the prison of the Hotel de Force, for some misconduct, ex claimed, " Alas ! this is the first squabble of OUR House with the Rouse of Bounaoit." He subsequently threatened to quit Pari - s ; but, as a contemporary Journalist expresses it, on a day ever memorable in the annals of the Opera," was prevailed on to remain. TimME.rizi Li attAR Y.-The whole of the mag nificent and celebrated collection 'belonging to Count MEr.zr, of Milan, has been lately purchas ed by FRANK HALL ST.c.snisn, Esq., and will speedily be removed to England. Among other rarities of the fifteenth century, is the Lirii toria Spirm 1470, printed upon vellum, with ca- . pitals most exquisitely illuminated ; the only per fect copy known to exist : another is the Lucre tius Breccia? Ferrandi. Education in France is placed under the di rection of a Ministerial Board, called the Royal Council of Public Instruction. This body, in its sitting of the 25th of lasemonth, drew up a list 'of books to be used in all the schools of France during the year 1822. It appears, from the long catalogue which these school-ceriSors have given, .to •be now thought proper that the ancients should be read only in fragments by the youth of France. They authorize merely some Selectee Ilistoriee, Res mentorabilis, Ercerpta, &c. These works are composed by compilers selected for that purpose. The only French tragedies allowed are Athulie, Esther, and illerope. A piece of sulphur rolled up in cotton, and constantly worn about the person, is said to be an effectual preventive of every kind of conta gion.• Care must be taken to renew the sulphur from time to time.—(French Paper.) I ii:EI, r 1: DUBLIN, OCTODia I. LORD SIDMOUTII'S LETTER to SIR ABRAII.4.i BRADLEY KING; BART. A report Was in circulation for the last two days, that Sir 1311/I/I.EY KING had received a Letter froth Lord StDmoiu r, on the subject Of . an 6rent of a very recent nature ; and, as it was probable that, much misrepreSentation would ensue, if the, Public should 'not be able to learn any part of its contents, but by hearsay, we endeavotired to proctire a correct copy of so important a document, and we now feel the g . reatest pleasure in laying it. befnre our Iteatlett verbatim, as -;ollomis " Richmond Park, October 9, , .1821. " My DEAR Srn—l cannot forbear congrahrlating youurin the complete accomplishment of his Majesty's gracious inten tion to confer upon you the dignity of a Baronet of the United Kingdom. It was a most fortunate circumstance, that, at the period of his Majesty's visit to Ireland, the high office of Lord Mayor of Dublin was held by a person of known.prudence and discretion, who, by a happy union of moderation and firmness, WaS enabled, without the surrender orcompromik df any Prin ciple, to conciliate the confidence and esteem of ,all parties. Allow me further to express the great pleasure which 1 have felt, in noticing yoUr active, and, at the late Dinnei of the Sheriffs, successfhl endeavour, to promote that liberal forbear ance, and that true behe'olence,' which you so constantly obl; served and practised whilst in office. It is of the greatest im portance to Ireland, and to the whole Empire, that such an ex• ample should be, implicitly- folloied. Acept my best wishes for your health and happiness, and belieVe the to .be, with -Sin.; cere esteem, my Dear. Sir, ".Your faithful and obedient Servant; " SIDIIIOVTIL " To Sir Abraham Bradley King, Bart." • Ana Holm was • made to this letter at the Meeting of the Guild of Merchants, on this day, and Sir Abraham B. King was requested. by a number of the Gentlemen present. to read for them so important a communication. It may be considered, virtually, as a supplement to the former document, which would have immorta lized his Majesty's name, even if there were no other circumstance, in the annals of the British Empire, to cause his reign to heyetnembered for ever. This Letter renders every thing clear where a doubt might haVe formerly existed ; and it defines that forbearance, which the King so graciously and - so parentally recommended to all his subjects. No person can now mistake the true import of that sacred document, because it does not enjoin any man to renounce his prin ciples, but only requires that no man shall use the priv;leges of the British Constitution in such a manner as to insult any portion of his country men. This being quarter-day of the Guild of Merchants, the conduct of the late Lord Mayor, Sir A. B. King, Bart., , mine, according to the customary routine of business, under discussion. As there could not be a dissentient voice on any question respecting the meritori o u s s erv i ces o f So distinguished a citizen, a Committee of six Gen tlemen was appointed to prepare an appropriate Address to him. The Address was unanimously approved by the Meeting, and it is to lie t.re sented to him, in a gold box, and in the most re.; spectful manner, as a testimonial of the eminent services which he had rendered, not merely to the City of Dublin, but to the British Empire by his great and successfUl exertions, while in office, to consolidate the union of Irishmen.—' The motion for the Address was proposed by Alderman Montgomery, and was seconded by Alderman Archer.—After the dispatch of the usual business of the day, Mr. G. Ness gave notice, that he would on the next quarter day move that the freedom of the Guild should be conferred on some Itoman Catholic Gentlemen of distinction.(publin Correspondent, Oct. 15.) IRISH BIBLE SOCIETY. The PRIMATE has reiterated in Armagh the sentiments he expressed at the Visitation held in Drogheda, relative to the Hibernian Bible Society. ARMAGH, SEPT. 26.—Yesterday his Grace the Priinate held his annual Visitation of the Clergy of this part of his Diocese, in the Cathedral Church of- this City. The morning Service was performed by the Rev. Messrs, Ryan and Allott, and the sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. ilinck, Rector of Ardtry, who took his text from the 17th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, 11th and . 12th verses. " These were more noble than they of Thessalonica, in that they reczived' the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. " Therefore many of them believed, also of honourable wo men,, which were Greeks, and of men not a few." The Reverend Gentleman, in enlarging on his Text, directed his observations chiefly against the Societies formed for the distribution of the Scrip. tures without note or comment, in an attendance on which he considered the Clergymen of the Es tablishment acted inconsistent with their. sacred functions, as such Societies were to be considered as fraught with dangerous and pernicious conse luences to the Yrotestant Establishment ; whilst :on the necessity of a proper distribution of the Word of God, accompanied by the necessary in struction of the Clergy, and with-the Liturgy of the Church, he dwelt in a forcible and impres sive.manner: The object of his Grace's Address is very plain and very striking. His Grace has no ob jection, and what Clergyman can have any ? to the circulation of the Holy Scriptures. But he objects to their circulation , unaccompanied with note or comment. The Primate's reasons for dissent are such, we think, as Must make a con siderable impression on ippartial men, to what ever religions denomination they may belong. On Tuesday last the Archbishop of Tuam held his Annual Visitation for the Diocese of Tuam, in the Cathedral of that town. There was a tfurneronS attendance of the Clergy. The Rev. Mr. Galbraith preached an excellent sermon, from Malachi, chap. ii. verse 7, 66 For the Priest's lips should keep knowledge," &c. His Grace did not deliver any formal Charge ; but he made several observations, in which he con ve.yed his instructions and determination with respect to the management of the DioceSe.° :He regretted that, notwithstanding his directions to the contrary, at his Primary Visitation last year, •.•. '4l. • , . . • several of ins .Clergy had occasio n all y left their Churches to tie attended by - others, who were not beneficed or licensed in the Diocese ; and he gave a fresh command (the breach of which . would be attended - with disagreeable consequences) against this practice. Ills Grace also al= luded to .his wish, expressed at the former Visi tation, for the est'ablishment' of 'Branches of the Bible Societr iti:this:DioCese,and lamented that driy circumstances had occurred in the course of the year; to Prevent his giving his personal atteri thin to thiS'imPOrtant Subject ; but hoped imine diately to be able; with the aid of the Clerei, to carry his intentions into „effect. To this 'Aunt summary of the proceeding at, the.Visitation:i7wo have iery sincere pl'eastire in adding, that when the . Reverend. Gendernen who attended Mere, met together at Dinrier, they came to a resolution to create a fund for the maintenance of Clergy- WidoWs in the Diocese.—(ilfayo consti-: tutioi:4) OunLiN tORN ExcHANGE, Ocr. • Our Market was extremilk: dull - yesterday ; the supply of Grain was.abundant;: but the purchasers were very few • .tood 'Wheat nearly obtained l as t prices, but inferior was Is. to is. al. lower; Oats - were full Is. cheap er; there was scarcely any thing done hi Barley ; }lour, Is. per cwt. lower, and very dull at that rethtctjon; Oatmeal remained Without alteration: • ' CORIi'IMARKEtS, OCT. jO, Wheat and Oats in considerable supply.. -• 7 Wheat -211 s - - to Oats - IBs to 22s Floar;l .

Mr. Rumstv, of Trelleck, had at tended Monmouth Races; he went to Bristol on Friday, and on Saturday morning, on his return ing, had just entered the boat at the Isiew-pas sage, when he exclaimed, " I am, very sick t" and expired instantly. The greatest order is maintained at Barcelona, and the efforts of charity are unremitting.

Saturday evening laSt a fine cock pheasant was found perching in the drawing-room of General V - vsr., at Beverley. The servant had put up the window to . air the room, and was suipris(q.l to find this new visitor in the 'evening ; he. had strayed in, in the course of the day, and taken up his residence for the night. The „ endow put down, the' bird 'secured, and sent as a pre sent to the General at Lichfield. It is pa:nftii to reflect (says our Chichester Correspondent) on the frequency of depred.ition47 in this neighbourhood. Within the sp::ce of ten days, the font.' following initanct a have occurred in Clay-lane, Bosham :—Mr. Tester had a ram killed in his field and carried off; Mr. William,llardham, a lamb ; and a few nights af. ter, the lead-work of a pump, at his brick kilns; Mr.Ewens had a. staple drawn and the lock taken .away, with all . his' geese ; and on the night of the fair (Thursday last,) Mr. James Leggett, of West Hampnett, had a horse stolen from his mea dow, beinp the fifth horse this gentleman haS last, —one of them he regained, and the thief is now in transportation. FATAL ACCIDENT.-About two o'clock'yeiter day afternoon, as the Salisbury luggage van was proceeding 'down the Strand, the fore. axletree suddenly broke nearly opposite Northumberland. House, and the van was th r Own upon' 'its side. Two men who were sitting on the box at the Fiti", one of Whom was the proprietor, (Mr. Wykrr,) were precipitated Co the ground, and the . y.an falling with i ts whole weight, crushed him to death. When extriCated, he was perceived to gasp once or twice. The body, was conveyed' to the Northumberland Coffee-house, where an in quest will be held upon it: This accident made. a great sensation in the neighbourhood. 'The' street remained nearly blocked up during the re mainder of the day by the broken_ van and s the crowd collected to view the 'fatal spot. Cuutous CASE.—An affair of a very extraor dinary nature is about to come before the Court of Assize at Paris. A Scotc.bman,. named Wu-, 'LIAM IVI'DouGAL, who was pursued for uttering at Paris forged notes of the Bank of Scotland, to the amount of 40,00 francs, fled to the Nether lands, and took refuge in the Belgic territory. —^ 7 The French Government demanded and obtairlild that he should be given up. IVl'Dotigal was made prisoner at Ghent; and conducted by regular reliefs of guard's to Paris. However, people were not a little surprised to see the prisoner soon after his arrival in the capital, 'obtain all at once his liberty, saying that he was guilty of that single crime for which our legislature has not provided a punishment. The fact was, that • the person who was brought to Paris was not the true William, but his brother, James M'Dougal, who had conceived and executed the hardy pro ject of setting his brother at liberty on the jour ney, by dressing himielf in clothes similar to those which the prisoner wore. It appeared he had followed the chaise in which his brother was, on horseback, for some time, and it was at Courtray, when the party striped at a little inn,' that he put himself in his : James, there fore, was the person that..the police of the Ne= therlands had delivered to the French gens d'Armes on the frOntieri„ This curious case; Which, before discdssing the accusation, it wilt be necessary first to prove the prisoner's identity, will be pleaded by M. Chaix d'Estrange.
