CORK, SEPT. 20—Thursday afternoon the Duke of DEVON SHIRE and suite arrived at the Commercial Buildings' Hotel. About half an hour after his Grace's arrival, a Deputation from the Corporation of Cork, consisting of the Mayor, Re corder, Sheriffs, Town Clerk, and Mayor Elect, and several Members of the Corporate Body, proceeded to the Hotel, in order to carry into effect the Resolution of presenting his Grace with the Freedom of the City of Cork ; upon the Deputation being introduced to the Duke, he received them in the most dignified and courteo us manner . The RECORDER then addressed his Grace in an elegant and appropriate speech, stating, 44 that the Corporation of Cork, anxious to enrol his Grace amongst the Freeholders of this an cient City, had waited upon him to confer that compliment, to which his Grace's virtues had so justly entitled him." 'l'o which the DUKE replied, that, " he felt most sensibly the compliment conferred, and that he should estimate it highly and always evince his anxiety for the welfare of the City of Cork, and the happiness of Ireland in general." The Deputation remained a considerable time, during which, we understood his Grace to have sought information on vari ous subjects connected with the improvements and interests of this City. DINNER AT THE MANSION-IIOU.;E. ' About 7 o'clock the Noble Duke reached the Mansion-house, when he was ushered to the Grand Drawing-room, where the Mayor, with a party formed of several Noblemen and Gentle men of this County and City, who were invited to meet his Grace at dinner, had assembled ; among whom were, Lord Colville, Lord • Ennismore, Sir Nicholas C. Colthurst, Sir William Chatterton, General Sir John Lambert, Sir Anthony Perrier, Sheriffs Leycester and Morgan, Common Speaker Lawe, Colonel T urner , C o l one l B a k er, M r. Beamish, William Wrixon Becher, Esq. M.P. and the Mayor Elect. Upon dinner being announced, his Grace, accompanied by the Mayor, proceeded to the Dining-room, where a splendid and sumptu ous entertainment had been laid, consisting of turtle, venison, and every rarity the season affords, and served in a style of unusual magnificence ; this was succeeded by a dessert of the choicest fruits. • On the cloth being removed the health of " The King" was announced by the Mayor, and drank in the most respectful manner : which was succeeded by " The Duke of York and the Army." " The Duke of ClarenCe and the Navy." " His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant." The Mayor then rose and proposed the health of " Our Brother Freeman, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire and the NobleitHouse of Cavendish." , Which was received with the most distinguished marks of respect. Iles GRACE addressed the Mayor, and said, that be felt most gratefully and sensibly the honour conferred upon him by the company at the moment, and also the compliment he had re ceived from the Corporation on his arrival. He thanked them most cordially, assured them of his anxiety for the welfare of the City of Cork, and concluded by drinking the Mayor's health, and his company. The following Toasts were then given by the Mayor : " The generous and benevolent People of England, who had so liberally come forward with effect, to relieve their Fellow Subjects in Ireland in time of need." " Lord Colville and the Squadron on the Irish station."' " General Sir John Lambert and the South West district." The Maros then took an opportunity of calling the atten tion of the Company to a toast he was about to announce, " Our highly respectable visitor, the Honourable James Abercromby." Mr. AnERCnoMBY, in a very handsom e m anner , expresse d his very grateful acknowledgments. The next toast was— , Knights of the Shire for the County of Cork." Lord ENNISMORE returned thanks. " The Representatives in Parliament for the City of Cork." Sir N. C. COLTIIURST addressed the Mayor and said, he could answer for himself and his Colleague, how sensibly grateful they were of the honour then conferred on them. " Our worthy Mayor Elect." Mr. BAGNELL returned thanks. In a short time the Duke conveyed to the Mayor his wishes, to pay the tribute of his respect to the Ladies of Cork anti its vicinity, by visiting the Concert ; when the Mayor, with a con siderable part of the company, attended his Grace to Mr. Ache's Concert at the Assembly-rooms, at which all the beauty and fashion of our City and its vicinity were assembled. Nothing could be more splendid than the audience at the concert. At an early hour yesterday morning, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire and suite, left the Commercial Buildings Hotel in three carriages, and proceeded- to Bandon. Ile is expected again in this city to-day, from whence he proceeds to visit the Marquis of Thomond at Rostellan. WEST LONDON TIIEATRE.-This Theatre COD ' tinues to receive encouragement, particularly from Soho, Marybone, and the neighbourhood, to which places it affords an agreeable attraction. The adaptation of The Oracle, originally written by Mrs.•CIBBER, the chief actress of her day, is a very interesting little piece, of which Miss BRUNTON is the charming heroine. Another piece is styled Tricks and Blunders, which is amusing. A little sketch, entitled 11,yde Park, introduced a view of the Statue in that place, and gave occasion to some humorous com ments. The last piece is The Taming of the Shrew, and the characters of Petruchio and Catherine are both so well supported by Mr. and Miss BRUNTON, that we must repeat our surprize that they do not obtain permanent sta tions on the Winter boards. All these dramatic sketches went off last night with great applause, and the active dance by the Misses L. COULSON, ROMER, and Mrs. GILMER, was encored by the audience with more taste than humanity. Miss STEPIIENS is performing with her usual success at Cheltenham. She is announced for Polly in The Beggar's Opera, and her unaffected simplicity may well entitle her to CuußcitiLL's praise on a former representative— " And GAY once more knows Polly for his own." CATALANI, it is said, is engaged for the ensuing season at the King's Theatre. She had taken leave of the British Public, but as she is still in the meridian of her powers, she has very wisely relented. POETRY. HYMN AFTER HARVEST. 0 God! the God of praise, How merciful art thou! To thee we would our voices raise, For they're demanded now. All we possess below Directs our thoughts above ; The blades that shoot, the plants that grow, Point to the source of love. Thou gav'st the glowing ray._ The gentle, genial shower ; And made WI thousand causes play With all their wonted power. Thou braced the brawny arm, To till the yielding soil ; Gave happiness and ev'ry charm To lighten mortal toil. Thus is fulfill'd again Thy promise ever sure : " See4-time and harvest shall remain While sun and moon endure." And all our fears surpass'd, Our wishes and our care, Behold we plenty round us cast, Forman and beast to share. O God ! the God of praise, How merciful art thou ! To thee we would our voices raise, For they're demanded noze. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BETTING-ROOM, SEPT. 21 NEWMARKE' .—STATE OF THE ODDS. ST. LFGEIt. 4 to 1 agst Stamford 6 to 1 agst 3.1 r.

The Annual Races have commenced in the Champ de Mars. They were attended on Sunday last by the Prince and Prin cesses Royal. Two plates of 900 francs, and two of 1,200 francs were proposed. Four horses, of three, four, and five years old, started for the first race. Horloge, four years old, the property of M. Einacx, rode by Thomas Hurst, won the 1,200 francs plate. He went twice round the interior of the Champ de Mars, 2,052 toises, in 6 minutes 24 seconds. The second race, for 900 francs, was won by Appoline, the property of DESGRANDS, rode by West. ' He went over the ground in 6 minutes, 5 seconds. The third race, for aged horses, was won by Asp as i a , th e property of M. C aza l ot , t h e plate being 900 francs. A course of 3,077 toises was done in eight minutes fifty-eight seconds. At the commencement of the third race the most violent rain fell, which, .in less than twenty minutes, deluged the course, and the Champ de Mars presented, in a short time, the appear ance of a vast lake. The sports of the day were consequently put a stop to, and adjourned. The grand plate, of two thousand francs, was to be run for on the next Tuesday. DEATH Or -LORD FRANKFORT.—.Di e d, at his villa, near Clontarf, on the 21st instant, Viscount FRANK.

Her funeral obsequies were performed with decorous pomp, and with more than usual solemnity. Several of the Nobility, more than one !Mildred Ecclesiastics in the habits of their seve ral orders, and the Members of all the Literary Societies at Rome, walked in the procession. The pall was sup ported by young Ladie s d resse d in white; and immediately after the body some of her best pictures were displayed, borne on the shoulders of the mourners.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—akin DAT TRIAL OF THE KING'S POSTILLION. Thomas Jag, who, our Readers will remem ber, was tried at the Old Bailey, and acquitted, on an indict. ment charging him with picking the pocket of a gentleman unknown, on the 15th day of May last, when attending his Majesty to Drury Lane Theatre, was now placed at the bar, and again tried for the misdemeanour in attempting to pick the pocket of Mr. Henry Bullin, of Perwick-street, Soho, on that evening. On the acquittal of the prisoner a bill was found against Gook, Connell, and Harrison, the persons who took him into custody and charged him, for a conspiracy, they were this Sessions tried and acquitted of that charge, and they then filed another Bill against Jay, which was found, and he on this was tried anew. Mr. Pullin was called and sworn. Being at Drury-lane Thea tre, he felt some person attempt to snatch his watch, but it having a guard, the thief could not accomplish his wish.— In his cross-examination by Mr. ALLEY, he told a very incon_ sistent story, and could not account for not coming forward before, although he lived within two doors of Gook, who, with his two witnesses, Connell and Harrison, were called and exa mined, but they prevaricated very much in-their testimony. Mr. ALLEY made a very powerful address to the Jury, con tending that the witnesses were totally unworthy of credit. In this the Jury unanimously acquiesced, and would not allow the Chairman to suns up, but instantly acquitted the prisoner, who was instantly discharged. The 'Verdict was received by' a crowded Court with mu, applause. OLD BAILEY-o'ms DAY.) Thomas Walter, aged, 40, was indicted for stealing two 25/. Bank-notes, and other monies, the property of Mr. Samuel Peowrie. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that he was in great trouble, and having disposed of his busines s , h e rece i ve d a c h eque on a banker's in part of the purchase-money ; the prisoner got the change, atu: never returned with it. The robbery took place about two years since, and_ the prisoner was not taken into custody until very lately, baying been met accidentally by the prosecutor's wife, who caused his apprehension.' The prisoner did not deny the charge. The Jury instantly pronounced him Guilt?), and the Recorder sentenced him to be transported for seven years. John Brizlgman and Ann Evans were indicted for a robbery in the house. of Captain Duncan M'Leod, No. 40, Gloucester_ place, Bryanstone-square, on the 23d hist. and stealing a gold_ watch, chain, five seals, a key, the property of Mrs. Spitta, a lady residing in the house of Capt. ill‘Leod : The former was indicted for stealing, and the latter for receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen.—The facts of the case were clearly made out against the prisoners, and the property identi fied by the husband of Mrs. Spitta. The RECORDER summed up, when the Jury found both the prisoners Guilty. Evans was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment and hard labour,—the judgment on Bridgman was deferred. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

When the Ukase of the late Emperor of Russia appeared concerning the form of the hat, the son of an English merchant, with a view to baffle the police, appeared in the streets of Petersburgh, having on his head an English hunt. ing-cap, at sight of which the police officers were puzzled. It was not a cocked hat," they said, " neither was it a round hat." In this embarrassment they reported the affair to the Emperor. An Ukase was accordin g ly promulgated, and level led at the hunting-cap ; but not knowing how to describe the anonialy, the Emperor ordained—that " No person, should appear in public with the thing on his head worn by the flier chant's son." On Friday (20th inst.) the Equestrian Statue of his late MAJESTY, executed by Mr. WEST. mA corr, arrived here from London, and we under stand will be immediately erected on the pedestal which has been some time prepared for it in Lon don-road.—(Liverpool Advertiser.) Sir JOHN SINCLAIR mentions an Hebridean, who was employed by the Lord of Coll as post to Glasgow or Edinburgh. His ordinary burden thence to Coll was 16 stone. Being once stopped at a toll, near Dumbarton, he humourously asked whether he should pay for a burden ; and upon being answered in the negative, carried his horse in his arms past the toll. The remains of a Roman Villa, with a beau tifully tessilated pavement, have recently been discovered between Farley Castle and Ilford. Indeed the existence of the remains have been known for a considerable time by persons in the neighbourhood ;—(a record is given, in the his tory of Somersetshire, of some pavement of the above description having been sent from this place to the Museum at Oxford, in 1689)—but for many years they have lain unmolested. Seve ral small coins have been found, bearing the name of " Tetricus," together with some other curiosi ties, which are now in the possession of the Rev. Mr. RICHARDSON, Rector of Farley.—(Both Chronicle.) It is said that within the last twelve months above ten thousand sheep, and near a thousand bullocks, have been shipped off at one port in Devonshire for the neighbourhood of London. A number of those beautiful little birds, the golden-crested wren, have recently been caught in the streets in _Harwich, and on the shipping off the coast. Last Sunday evening, as a commercial gentle man was taking a walk, at Huntingdon with one of the frail sisterhood, she found means to pick his pocket of notes and cheques to the amount of 2031. However, on Tuesday morning, he was fortunate enough to get possession of the whole again, with the exception of 41. the money being found by a person on going through a close, where it had been dropt for that purpose: PARISH OF ST. OLAVF'.3. AFTERNOON LECTURESHIP AT ST. °LAVE'S. A Vestry of the Parishioners of St. Olave's,. Old Jewry, was held yesterday, for the purpose of electing a Wednesday Evening Lecturer, whose annual salary, under the will of the foundress, is 691. ss. As soon as the Churchwarden took the chair, some questions were put by several parishioners respecting a letter said to have been written by the Rev. Dr. Hamilton, the rector of the pa rish, which it was insinuated was improperly intended to con troul and influence their right of election, and altogether thwart it in the event of their choice falling upon one of the candi dates—the Rev. Mr. Mortimer. Some gentlemen present insisted that this letter should be read antecedent to the regular business of the day, while Mr. Wilson and others contended that it ought not to be read until after the election was decided, as the rector had no right, in de licacy or decency, to interfere in their mode of proceeding in the first instance. It was, however, at length agreed that the letter should he read, and the Chuic'swarden read it accordingly. The letter declared the long harmony that had subsisted be tween hin:se f and his parishioners for a very long course of years, and earnest hope, that now when he (the Rector) had ar rived at the age of threescore and ten, he should be allowed to continued the same spirit of harmony with them for the few remaining days which he had to live. He declared his readi ness to co-operate with them in enforcing the regular perform ance of the Lecturer's duty ; but added, that lie must refuse. his pulpit to the Reverend Thomas Mortimer, if he were elected ; that his objection went to some of the do• tines which he had reason to understand were propounded by that gentleman ; and that in his opinion, and that of the Bishop of London, whom he h a d consu l te d , h e ( t h e Rector) had a right to interfere under the terms of the foundress's will, and he warned the pa rishioners against exposing themselves to useless and vexa tious expellee and litigation, by any atteeppt to press uron dim the individual against whom he objected. The CritiaeHWARDENS declared that they had taken every pains to assure the venerable Rector, that no disrespect what ever was intended to him upon the present occasion ; that all they wanted was the election of a fit and proper person to fill the lectureship as it ought to be filled, and that they meant to proceed to the election in the utmost spirit of harmony ; but that the Rector had repeated his objection to Mr. Mortimer, anti that they in their turn had complained that the parishion ers bad not performed their duty by not before insisting upon having a proper lecturer. In answer to a question from Mr. Pattison, the churchwar den said that the lecturer had not performed his duty during the 311 years he held the office. After some discussion upon the terms prescribed b the foundress, the p ar t o f h er will relating to the foundation o y f the lectureship was read, from which it appeared that she vested the apointment in " the churchwardens, and the gravest of the parishioners," and that the lecture was to be read in " the pul pit of St. Olave's Church whenever the Minister of the said parish should give way or p erm it." Th ere was a subsequent proviso, th a t in case the Rector would not " give way or per mit," the Churehwardens and other parishioners had the power of having th e l ec t ure rea d i n " the nearest other Church.' Some Geetlemen here remarked, that they feared if the lec ture were carried into another parish they wo u ld b e di vesting themselves of the right of appointment. Mr. WILsoN combated his opinion, and complained that their worthy Rector ought to have been more specific in the nature of his objections to the Rev. Mr. Mortimer. Mr. PATTISON lamented the imprudence of their venerable Rector's letter, and thought it would have been quite time enough for him to have started his objections, when Mr. Mor timer was elected, should such ultimately prove to be the result. He rose to propose the Rev. Mr. Tuoy; of whose high character and acquirements he spoke in warm terms from the experience cf a4O years acquaintance. He knew him to be completely orthodox in his opinions as a clergyman of the Church of England. Mr. I.AvrE was in the act of justifying the Rector's letter as a fair and candid proceeding, and seconding 11r. Pattison's motion, when, Mr. 'WILSON . rose to order, and recommended a vote of cen sure upon the Rector for his letter, and said that he was on his legs to propose it, when Mr. Pattison had risen. He certainly objected to the letter being put on their minutes without some accompanying remark. Mr. KAY, Mr. PATTISON, and some other parishioners ob jected to any i n t errupt i on to t h e particular business of the elec. don in that stage, and Mr. BOIISFIELD rose to propose as an amendment, the name of the Rev. Mr. Mortimer, upon whom he bestowed the highest praise as a Clergyman of the Church of England, who officiated at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and other places, with the highest credit and satisfaction to his congregations. Mr. IlAwicEs seconded this amendment. A Gentleman present said, that h e was aut h or i ze d to say that if the Rev. M r . 'ruoy were re...elected, he would regularly de. liver a lecture every Wednesday , evening. Mr. PATTISON said, that that Gentleman was always will ing to do so, whenever he had any the smallest congregation ; but did they want him to preach often to the bare walls, and to begin his sermon as Dean Swift once did with the words, 4 , My dearly , beloved Roger," addressing his clerk, the only hearer in the church at the time ?—(A laugh.) Mr. WILSON mentioned several striking instances of ne glect on the part of the Rev Mr. Tuoy. He had repeatedly taken persons to the evening lecture, without finding that gen. tleman in attendance. They were often obliged to send for him, and he imputed to him on one occasion flaying selected a text, apparently for th e p urpose o f cast i ng a personal reflection. After some conversation among the parishioners present, the question was put to the vote, when there appeared-- For the Rev. Mr. Tuoy . - - 13 For the Rev. T. Mortimer - . 17 Majority for the latter - —4 A ballot was then demanded, and ordered to be taken from three to five o'clock this day, and for one hour tomorrow.... The vestry then adjourned.—( Morning Paper.) THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 27.

BO W-STEEET.—Yesterday a person of respect.. able appearance, who gave his name Charles Thompson, No. 82, New Bond-street, Silk Mercer, was charged before Sir RICHARD BI RN lE, the Sitting Magistrate, with having coin mitted a violent and unprovoked assault on Robert Cross, of Bennet's Hill, Doctors' Commons, on Wednesday evening, at the English Opera House.—lt appeared from the statement of Mr. Cross, that he was leaving the Theatre with his wife, and on descending one of the staircases, met th e d e f en d ant , who wi t h several- other persons were entering the Theatre. In passing each other the defendant thrust his elbow against Mr. Cross's side with great violence, when M r . C ross called h•im a stupid fellow, and asked - him what he meant by his behaviour ? Mr. Thompson, without answering him, struck him very severely on the face, and immediately a scuffle ensued ; the constables interfered, and Mr. Thompson was taken into custody. - In his defence Mr. Thompson stated, that in the rush to enter the Theatre, he was forced against Mr. Cross, who directly called him a fool, and afterwards a liar, upon which he struck him.— Mr. Cross denied, upon his oath, that he ever made use of the expression. Sir R. BIRNIE remarked, that he had only to do with the breach of the peace, not as to the provocation which caused it; a Jury would decide upon it; and as Mr. Thompson admitted the assault, he must call upon him to find bail to answer the complaint at the next Westminster Session.— Mr. Thompson produced his bail, who were accepted ; and he was accordingly discharged. On Tuesday the funeral obsequies over the remains of the Rev. Sir JOHN FAGG, Bart. of ?stole, were performed in the parish church of Chartham, the scene of the Rev. Divine's pious labours. A numerou assemblage, not withstanding th e t orrents o f ra i n w hi c h fell the whole day, were collected to the spot. On the mournful train reaching the church, the organ swelled in solemn notes, to prepare the mind for the sacred solemnities of the interment. Handel's beautiful Anthem, " I knew that my Redeemer liveth," was performed in a most interesting and impressive manner on the c Afin being lowered, and after the service had ended, the organ played the " Dead March" in Saul. In the North, last week, there was, on many pools of water, ice taken off of the thickness of ha I f-a-crown. ~
