The ung overnable temper of th t e: . 41311 0 Guild of Merchants, —their insane re sistance to the moderate spirit and tranquil iizing measures of the Government, manifested eve n in the foolish and wicked clamour for a re- Peal of the Act of Union,—and the prov ocative t ! ri. r eligious controversy, unhappily revived in all o s b itterness,—have added their influence to t he til " active and deep rooted cause s o f p o p ular a g.tlt ian and disorder, which wer e alread y too lo ; 11 (411 0 in subjecting this unhappy c ountr y to e horrors of civil feuds and the devastations of nsil rrectionary war. Never has conciliation been more i a n the mouths of the leading characters I, 44 'ogst the Irish people, or less manife st e d in ' lai r conduct. The Government has recem rnended mutual forbearance and concession ; but Ile Government alone, with the single exception, perh aps, of the present Lord Mayo r of DUBLIN, ha s Practically exemplified the influence of con :_iliat°rY principles and feelings. All other 'ties seem to understand by conciliation the ri ght to demand sacrifices from others, with out Yielding any thing themselves ; and each, tena ciously adhering to its own errors, loudly d emands the submission of its opponents, and im putes the prolongation of rancorou s feel iilgs to th e i r o b s ti n acy, without perceiving that the Continuance of animosities is in truth attri )titable to the equal pertinacity of all. We mus t patiently look to the operation of time, r perh aps, before the angry and inveterate passion s Irish soc i e ty can b e reconciled and subdued. Th e temperate firmness and perseverance of the t„ "eminent must ultimately prevail, by the ex ample of moderation exhibited in its own con ducts by its marked disapprobation of intempe rance, and by the encouraging distinction which it has the power to confer upon those by whom the Xample of moder a ti on is followed.—The fol lowing letter has been addressed to the Lord 1 1 4 4 3 V of DuntaN, by command of the Lo an i.

CHANCELLOR has appointed HENRY GEORGE be el Cf Portsmouth, in the County of Southampton, Gent. to as ter Foxtraordinary in the High Court of Chancery. ERIGHTON, N0v.23. The I'4NG returned to the Pavilion at half past four o'clock yesterday. The Duke of Dor set, the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord St. Helens, Sir Charles Paget, and Col. Thornton, arrived at the Palace soon afterwards ; and who, with the Great Chamberlain, Earl Gwydyr, had the honour of dining with his Majesty.--The King attended Divine Service in his private chapel this morning, the body of which, as usual, was crowded by Nobility, Gentry, and towns folk, admitted by tickets. The Service com menced at noon—so punctual was his Majesty to the time, that he entered his pew while the clock was striking, followed by the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward, the Marquis of Anglesey, and Lord St. Heir's. The Royal Equerries and Sir Charles Paget were in the ad joining pew. The King was habited in blue, and wore a star, and never had we the satisfaction to behold his Majesty in better apparent health. — The Royal suite were all in the Windsor uniform, with the exception of the Marquis of Anglesey. The Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr—Holmes; and an eloquent discourse was delivered from the Pulpit by the Rev. Dr. Pearson, from the 17th c. and 15th v. of St. John. The harmonious part of tho service was excellent. The King's Band was on duty : the organ. was managed by Mr. :Atwood. THE THEATRES. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—We have still to record, for the honour of public taste and libe rality, the continued warm protection which Miss F. 11. KELLY receives for her animated and affecting performance of Juliet. The stong im pression which her original merit in this interest ing character has made upon the public in gene ral is visible in the crowded audience which she attracts every night When she appears. This 'great curiosity, and the applause which attends her, seem to give new stimulus to her powers, which she exerts with undiminished ardour.— In justice to Mr. C. KEMBLE it should be again observed, that its Romeo he obviously strives to bring the talents of his scenic Idol into the fairest point of view, and acts up, as the phrase is, to her noblest efforts. Indeed seldom has a play alto gether been better supported by the whole train of its performers, or presented to the public with more appropriate beauty and splendour. ROYAL COBURG THEATRE.—Two ❑ew pieces were brought forward last night at this Theatre, the first entitled, Frederick of Bavaria, of the serious and impressive kind, and the second, The Czar of Muscovy, or The Three Ambassadors, of a ludicrous and diverting nature. HuNTLEr and Airs. STANLEY particularly distinguished themselves, and both pieces were much applauded by a very numerous audience. The new splendid saloon was crowded with visitors, and the whole of the entertainments were received with the most encouraging success. FIRE IN IlinnoaN.—lt must be consoling to the friends of science, particularly of Architec ture, to learn, that although much of the valu able stock which belonged to Air. TAYLOR has been destroyed with the Architectural Library, yet that many estimable copper-plates were de posited in an arched vault which was deemed fire-proof, and. that many of the printed works were in a detached warehouse. It is the intention of several landlords of con siderable properties in Herefordshire to hold a meeting at the Hotel in Hereford, at which they earnestly invite the attendance of other landlords, upon Saturday, the 30th instant, to take into con sideration the expediency of sending a Requi sition to the High Sheriff, to call a county meet ing, for the purpose of representing to both Houses of Parliament the unparalleled and daily increasing distress of the agricultural interest, and of imploring that relief which it is in their power to afford them.—(Hereford Journal.) MURDER.—On the night of Sunday the 17th inst., a wanton and barbarous murder was com mitted on the lands of Mount Catherine, between Rathcormuck and Watergrass-hill, under the following circumstances :—The lands of Mount Catherine had been distrained for rent, and on Sunday night a number of persons attacked the house of one Jeremiah Cullinane on said lands, where the keepers were ; the ruffians broke open the door, and were most unmercifully beat ing the keepers, when the wife of Cullinane, re monstrating with these savages, and incautiously calling on them by name, they turned their vengeance towards the unhappy woman her self, and murdered her. On hearing of the above outrage, that active and excellent Ma gistrate, W. Ryder, Esq., repaired to the spot, and we are happy to announce, was so fortunate as to secure two of the ringleaders of the mur derous gang, who are fully identified ; and we have little doubt but that, from the zeal and in- telligence of the above Gentleman, many more will be brought to justice.—(Cork Mercantile Chronicle, Nov. 22.) BURGL:IRY•--Yesterday all the avenues to the Police-Office, Queen-square, were thronged with crowds of the most notorious thieves and other bad characters now at large, to see Mark Herd, TVilliam Watts, Joseph Faller, Thomas Brown, and Charlotte Bamjield, the particulars of whose examination, on a charge of burglariously rob bing in the dwelling-house of M. De Reimer, in Euston-place, appeared in our Paper of Thursday last.—They were brought up again in the expectation that evidence would be forthcoming to substantiate other charges against them ; but nothing of that nature appearing, they were ordered to be conveyed to Newgate for trial on the charge before-mentioned. The as semblage of desperate fellows between Tothill- fields Prison and Ule Office, with the known de terminated ferocity of the prisoners, rendering it not improbable that an an attempt at a rescue might be made, the whole force of the constables and peace officers belonging this office, and sta tioned in the neighbourhood, attended for the purpose of escorting them to and from the Office, which was effected in perfect security without the slightest offer or spew of resistance. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Hon. William Ponsonby, in St. James's-square ; Lord Vaughan, at Blake's Hotel, Jermyn-street, from the Continent ; - Bennett, Esq.

Ewin, Mr. Fitzgerald and family, Mr. Nicholas, &c. ST. MARY-LE-STRAND. At the Anniversary Dinner of the Parish of St Mary-le- Strand on Friday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, the greatest cordiality prevailed among the principal parishioners. After the cloth was removed, Non nobis Domine, by Messrs. Leete, 'Permit, Fitzwilliam, &c. was admirably sung ; and in the course of the evening some excellent solos and glees. The children, male and female, amounting to forty, who are clothed and educated by this small parish, afforded a gratifying spectacle, and elicited the greatest admiration from the com pany ; these indeed are sights where the finest feelings of the heart receive a gratification superior to what the most splendid scenes can ever afford. Some old subscribers have by death been removed ; but in the list which was read, new ones supplied their places, and hope presents a flattering picture of permanent success to this Establishment. Among the company were :.-The Rev. Mr. Ellis, the highly respected Evening Lecturer, and the Rev. Mr. Brazier ; Messrs. Collingwood, Parrish, Faulkner;Yonge, Thresher, Lowe, Bur ton, Fisher, Flogdell, Warburton, Bellringer, Milbourn, Walker, Ponten, &c. P 0 E T It Y. SONG. I said to my heart, in the w•ay of discourse, For we often confabulate, " Madam, Will you Inver be soften'd, and yield to the force Of beauty, wit, sense, and good-humour of coarse, When you know, and well know, who has had 'em ? 1 Must I still, like our parent, see every dove With an help-mate enjoying creation ? The awkwardest beast in the field finds a love To stamp his own image, or sweetly remove All his cares by that soft conversation." " When have I," cries my heart, "been your enemy yet ? A'nt I always in danger at hand ? When attack'd by a villain, the villain has met His match, at the least, and been forc'd to submit ; In this, you must own, I'm your friend. When despis'd by the rich, don't "instantly give You the force to despise them again ? 'Tis thus you are made, ev'ry moment you live, Independent in fancy, and taught to believe The balance is your's in the main. Can I, pray consider, be dewed as your foe? When that honour, which daily you prove, In scorning mean things (this your enemies know), From the heart, and thence only, believe me, can flow, In your life, in your friendship, and love. Then cease to condemn me, nor blame your best friend Hence know and rely on me better. The moment I hear of the girl who can 'tend To the bliss of your life, from beginning to end, I'll burn, and not rest till you get her." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Miss STEPHENS, attended by Mr. LEONI LEE ' and Mr. RYDER'S company, has been perform ing here for these two nights back, before crowded and brilliant audiences. The boxes, for the three nights of her engagement, were almost all engaged for a week before her appearing ; and the anxiety manifested by all ranks to hear her singing, equals that which produced the crowds when KEAN was here.—(Dundee Courier.) A certain witty Judge having heard that Miss NUGENT was brought up to vote for Mr. SUTTER, of Orange notoriety, and being shewn the printed list of Candidates, on which, under the statue of King WILLIAM, was written, " Good men in bad times."-- 44 Aye, bad times, indeed," said his Lordship, " when the daughter of a respectable man like Mr. NUG ENT is compelled to turn kOrange-zeoman."—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

The Palmyra, Lamb, from Bengal, is reported to have passed through the Downs last night ; also to-day the Fame, Frichy, 7 days from Lisbon. Came down from the River last night and to-day the George, Fish, for Naples, Palermo, &c. ; Henry Williams, Worts, Gibraltar; Ardent, Bayle Belfast.— The Brisset, Holder, for Dominica, lost an anchor and cable in the Downs on the 23d instant, and proceeded to Ramsgate. The East India Company's ship Berwickshire sailed from Bombay for China on the 6th June ; the Dunira and Duke of York on the 7th July; the Buckinghamshire and Macqueen were expected to follow about the 20th ; and the Orwell and Castle Huntley the beginning of August. Monday se'nnight, in a heavy squall from the westward, the brigantine Queen Charlotte, of Dumfries, John Heughan, master, loaded with rape-seed, from Limerick for Hull, upset off Tynemouth Castle, supposed by the cargo shifting, and went down in 15 minutes after the crew were picked up off her star board broadside, by the sloop Friendship, of Grangemouth.— Capt. Heughan and crew were landed at Shields. The Ranger, Carter, a brig of 200 tons per register, belonging Ito Shields, but sailing from London, was, on her voyage from 1 Petersburgh to Bristol with timber, driven ashore from both anchors in Lochmaddy, in a hard gale of wind, on the 29th ult. She was soon, ,however, got off without damage ; but, owing to the tempestuous weather which succeeded, was again stranded, and on the receding of the tide, the vessel fell over, and was in consequence bilged, and broke her rudder, when there were seven feet water in the hold. SMUGGLING.—(Lymington, Nov. 22.)—The coast between Hurst Castle and Christchurch Head has, for some time past, been the scene of many lawless and violent acts arising from a gang of smugglers, under the command of a man calling himself Thomas Pearce, but as their daring conduct was the work of night, they have been enabled, to a great extent, to elude the vigilance of the officers employed on the coast-guard service. It having been ascertained by Lieut. Bowyer, R.N., Inspecting Commander of the coast-guard, that Pearce's real name was Thomas Palke, and that he was the man who fled from Devonshire about four years since, in consequence of pro secutions against him for extensive smuggling transactions, the same was communicated to the Board of Customs ; when a Judge's warrant, and two writs of capias for penalties exceeding 127,0001., were immediately obtained for his apprehension. — The execution of this service was intrusted to Lieut. Bowyer, and Mr. James Brown, jun. riding officers; but as the offender resided on. the border of the New Forest, where he could easily obtain notice of the Officers' approach, they de termined to effect their purpose by stratagem ; and so fully ;did their plan succeed, that:on Monday evening last, .undei; the 'racist specious pretences:, he was ~decoyed to the Custom-house At Lymington, - where he was immediately arrested; and surrounded by a strong guard. IntelliFence of the officers success having been conveyed to Major Lord George 'Lennox, M. P., commanding the troop of the 9th Lancers, stationed at Lymington, his Lordship instantly or:. tiered all the men to be under arms, to prevent the possibility of a rescue ; and on the following morning, Pearce, alias Palke, alias Robinson, was conveyed to Winchester gaol, escorted by Lord George and a strong party of dragoons. The prompt co-operation of his Lordship with the coast-guard officers, calls for and will obtain the thanks of every lover of social order; and when it is considered that Pearce had under his controul about 200 men, who were divided into companies, each having a man called a sergeant to command them, every feeling mind will rejoice that this desperate character has been stopped in his lawless career. It is hoped that the fate of their leader will induce the misguided men who were his companions in violence to return to habits of honest industry, and to a respect for the laws of their country.—( Hampshire Telegraph.) Saturday evening a fellow, about 30 years of age,. called at the house of Mr. Barnett, surgeon, of Charter house-square, and inquired of the footboy if his master was at home. On his being answered in the negative, he requested permission to write a note for him ; the lad very incautiously allowed him to enter the parlour, and he wrote the following note : " Sir—Yon will have the kindness to attend upon Mr. Pal mer on to-morrow, at No. 5, Windsor-terrace, City-road. " Voiles °ht.! " J %% ALLIS." addressed—" Mr. Barnett, Surgeon." —On finishinc , his epistle, in snuffing the candle he put it out, and sent the lad out of the room to procure a light that he might seal the note for his master. Before the footboy could return to the parlour with a light he met the villain in the passage, who put the note in his hand, telling him it was all right as he happened to have a wafer in his pocket which answered his purpose, and left the house. Shortly afterwards it was dis covered that the thief, during the temporary absence of the lad, had taken away a valuable silver snuff-box which was lying on the mantlepiece. It is almost unnecessary to add that Air. Palmer was not in want of the professional assistance of )Jr. Barnett. _ _ lloAx.—Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Huntingdon's Chapel were roused from their sleep, in con sequence of the watchmen springing their rattles, and running with their lanterns in their hands towards the burying ground, it being intimated to them that some per sons were seen to climb over the iron railing, either for the purpose of robbing the chapel, or Stealing the body of a young woman who had been buried there that day. The keys were obtained, and a strict search was commenced both in the burying ground and in the chapel; at length, to their great sur prise they found concealed in the pulpit in the chapel Thomas Harris, one of the parish constables, who keeps a little oyster and fruit shop in Cumberland-row, Battle-bridge, and who was lugged off to the watchhouse on suspicion of being a resurrec. tion-man. After being some time in the watchhouse it was dis covered that the whole was a hoax, played by the other con stables both on poor Harris and the watchmen. It appears that a person was sent by the other constables to inform Harris, that some resurrection-men intended to come that night to steal the body of the young female, and he in consequence concealed himself in the pulpit in order to detect them ; as soon as it was ascertained that he had got into the chapel, some one was sent to inform the watchmei_ that a person had peen seen to climb over the iron railing of the burying ground for the purpose of robbing it. The constable was of course discharged. On Monday evening a married lady of some note in this city, on her return homewards from paying her de voirs at the supper table of a widow, in the Castle-gable, by way of shorten her road, took the dangerous path of the small wooden bridge over the mill-head, at the spinning mill—when just as she had reached the middle of the bridge, she got dizzy, and down dropt the fair dame into the stream ! Her lily hands being protected from the severity of the weather by a muff, at the moment of the immersion they were of course speedily drawn out, and extended; ready to catch the first frail prop that might come in the way,—when sundry eatables made their appearance upon the surface of the stream. The fair one was relieved from her dangerous situation by the guardians of the night ; but the provisions were carried down by the rapidity of the current. Lamps and lights of every description were in motion—policemen, scavengers, and other supernumaries, tendered their assist ance to recover the effects. Alas ! to no effect—they all va nished.—(Dundee Courier.) COUNTERFEIT COIN. GVILDHALL.—The withdrawing of 11. and 21. Bank notes, and the consequent general circulation the wild coin has now attained, have brought into operation a very old trick, formerly much practised, and known at that time under the name of " ringing the changes," which it is now unnecessary to recal to the recollection of the public, and put them upon their guard against. The first circumstance of the kind which has come under the cognizance of the Sitting Magistrates at this office, occurred yesterday before Mr. Alderman Cox, in the case of a young woman of very decent appearance, who gave her name Mary Ann Jones. The prisoner, by the evidence of Miss Harding, an assistant in the shop of Mrs. Calvert, ivory -turner, 189, Fleet-street, came there on the 13th of November, and cheapened a comb, which she subsequently agreed to buy at the price of 4s. 6d., and tendered a sovereign in payment. Miss Harding, who served her, examined the sovereign, and found it a good - one ; but before she could give the prisoner her change,. the atter altered her mind, and would not have the article and the sovereign was in consequence returned to her.— In " ringing the changes," it is the practice, in order to ascer tain whether a shopkeeper can give change, and induce him so:to do, to cheapen an article in the first instance of value suffi cient to render it worth his while, and the prisoner followed the practice by agreeing for an article at the price of 4s. 6d. This, how ever, was more than shemeant to spend, and having got her good sovereign back again, she affected to be sorry at having given trouble for nothing, would not therefore go out of the shop with out buying, and desired to be shown some silver thimbles, one of which she purchased for 2s: 61, and again tendered a sovereign. Miss Harding, who had no suspicion but it was the same, and having examined it before, and found it was a good one, took it without looking at it further, and gave the prisoner the change, and it was not for half an hour after she had left. the shop that Miss Harding discovered the sovereign was a bad one, and that the prisoner had been "ringing the changes" upon her: As the prisoner was a chance customer, of whom they knew nothing, it was in vain to look after her; but on Saturday afternoon, between 5 and 6 o'clock, she again made her ap pearance at the shop, and again desired to be shown some silver thimbles, agreed for the purchase of one, but having probably no good sovereign to " ring the changes" with, tendered a bad one in the first instance. Miss Harding, who had recognized her as the person from whom she had received the former bad one on the 13th, communicated the fact to Mrs. Calvert, and the prisoner was detained until the. arrival of Smith, the street keeper of Fleet-street, who took her into custody, and lodged her in the Compter. , The two counterfeit sovereigns were produced before the Ma gistrate, and identified by Miss Harding, who swore positively to the prisoner as the person froth whom she received the one taken on the 13th. _ _ Nothing was found upon the prisoner o i the search, and in her defence she positively denied ever having been in' Mrs. Cal vert's shop previously to Saturday afternoon. Of the had sove reign found in her possession then, she offered no account. and was accordingly remanded that the Solicitor for the 'stint might attend her further examination ; directions being giveik to the officer to communicate to him the circumstances of the case. SWANSEA.-It is onr pleasing task to announce to our readers, and to every person interested in the prosperity of the Southern Principality, from the highest • authority, that his Majesty's Go vernment have not yet determined to interfere with the Packet Establishment at Milford ; and. in gratifying confirmation of this intelligence, we have to add, that one of the Members of a neigh bouring county, very much connected with Go vernment, is of opinion that it is altogether un necessary to call a county meeting, as intended, on the supposed removal of the Packets front Milford to Bristol.----(Cambrian.) NEW CRIMINAL CODE.—A person accused of stealing was brought before a Justice of Peace, at Dunkeld last week, and convicted on the clearest evidence, when, after a suitable admonition, the Justice fined him a guinea ! This mode of punishing a thief is truly, original. Of its efficacy none can doubt. It surpasses Sir James Mackintosh's system, and even rivals the celebrated Code Napoleon !—( Glasgow iCourier : ) - A BiIEAKFAST.—A. farmer's servant having a cheese set before him to take his breakfast, and. sitting a long time over it, his master asked him when he intended to have done ? " Sir," said be, " a cheese of this size is not so soon eaten as you may think." CHEAP LODGINGS.—In a respectable, but - not very fashionable street of this city, lodgings are let so cheap, that, in one, a woman has a good room for 41d. per week. , I asked Gd., said the landlady, but" she stormed" and I let her have it for 42d. It is scarcely necessary to observe, that house-room is all that is got for this sum. — (Glasgow Courier, Nov. 23.) A new way to pag 7'ol4—An Irishman with art ass, carrying panniers with some crokery ware, came the other day to a toll-bar, a little to the. eastward of this city. The toll-man requested, his dues. This Pat refused. The other would. not let him pass without pay. Remonstrance was vain. Pat immediately took the pad from the back of the ass, placed the same below it belly, hoisted the animal, panniers and all, upon his shoulders, ,and carried his load through the toll-bar in the passage usually allowed for foot passengers. "When on the other side, he ar ranged his crokery and pad in their former pOsi tion and marched off, leaving the toll-keeper in amazement.—(G/argow Courier, Nov. 23.) On Saturday evening, between the hours of seven 4,nd eight o'clock, as one of the Brentford stages was coming into town, by some accident, when nearly opposite the Foot-barracks in Knightsbridge ' one of the horses (a leader) stumbled, by which, through the suddenness of the jolt, three of the outside passengers were precipitated from their se its into the road ; we lament to add, that one of them, a young woman, had her collar-bone broken, and otherwise so seriously injured, that she was conveyed on a shutter in a mat?, of insensibility, to St. George's Hospital ; the other two (gentlemen) escaped with the exception of a few slight bruises; the young person, unfortunately so, seriously injured, we have learned, is the attendant of a lady of rank residing at Isleworth. The knees of the animal by the fall was so much injured, that it was with great difficulty it could be conveyed to Tattersall's yard, at Hyde Park-corner. _ _ _ .BRIGHTON, Nov. 23.—An Inquisition was held at the Old Ship yesterday, under a writ of the Court of Chan cery, to ascertain whether or not Mrs. Eliz.Wykeharn, widow, at present at Calais, was of sane mind, and competent to the full management of . her family atEtirs. A similar Inquisition was held here m July last, but which, from a division in opinion, did not turn out sithfectcrily. The Jury yesterday consisted of 21 persons, who were unanimous, that the mental imbecility of the party named justified the inquiry, and render ed her totally unfit to manage for herself or her family. FURIOUS DRIVING.— William Cooper, a driver of one of the Paddington stages, was summoned yesterday to Marylebone Office, by N EVILLE WELLS, Esq. surgeon, of No. 33, Welbeck street, for furiously driving in the New-road, whereby his chaise was broken.—Defendant was fined 51. ,MENDICANT IMPOSTORS.—TWO beggars, one pretending to be lame and the other blind, who have for some days past been practicing their impositions upon the public, were on Wednes day last raising a most " piteous moan" in St. Martin's at Oak, and were in a fair way for mak ing a " good day," when the blind man got a glimpsc of a police officer, who happened to be an old acquaintance, upon which he tipt his lame comrade the wink, and they both suddenly took to their heels and ran ofr, to the no small surprise and mortification of the numerous charitable in dividuals who had' contributed to their necessities. . —(Norfolk Chronicle.) egs ►mom we )a rt , 10 re , the and the the Ear site of ara' be. 4 oft" also ;i" P kep t both el ° rs lat sll Oa t, os' it 11 85 P t°
