"INSURRECTION ACT.—A most respectable Meeting of Magistrates of the County of Cork. (the Marquis of Thomond, Governor of the County, in the Chair), to the number of 150 and upwards, was this day held at the King's Old Castle, to consider of proclaiming the whole of the County of Cork, which was, una voce, agreed to. " At first it was suggested not to include one or two Baronies hitherto peaceable, but the Earl of Bantry stated that his Barony had all the appearance of peace twenty-four hours before the attack was made on his neighbour's habitations, and after some other remarks from his Lordship, it was agreed to pro claim the whole County. " It has been observed, from the evidence given on the trials, that most unexampled forbearance and patience must have been exhibited by the military before they were induced to fire on the insurgents, on their different assemblies, and the manner in which several of them nave their testimony satisfied every one that they were good men as well as steady soldiers. " It is probable that the Cork City Magistrates will apply to have those parts of their Liberties which adjoin the County. of Cork put under the Insurrection Act. " It is inconceivable what a number of families of the County have come into the City to re.sile for the present. " There is but one case for trial in the City of Cork, at the Special Commission—Roger Heffernan for selling gun-powder to the Insurgents. " Four of the men who attacked Lord Bantry have been tried : two found guilty, and two acquitted for want of identity." Our Extracts, in a preceding column, from French, Spanish, Dutch, and Brussels Papers, Which have arrived since our last, will be found to contain some interesting intelligence, more especially regarding the affairs of Spain and Greece. tFrorn fne Board of the New England Coffee-house, Feb. 25.] The following American Papers arrived this morning : -New York, to the 27th January ; Boston, to the 23d January ; Philadelphia, 24th J?nu.ary ; Baltimore, 21st January ; Virginia, tOth January ; Montreal and Quebec, 20th Ja nuary; St. John's and New Brunswick, 2d Ja nuary. They contain the claims under the Spa nish treaty. The National Intelligencer contains aa account of a battle between the Cherokees and °sages Indians, in which the former were victorious, and took some hundreds prisoners. prom Montreal it is said, that the Legislature of Upper Canada had solicited from his MA- J ESTY an union of the two provinces. t hey also contain an official account from Vera Cruz, of the evacuation of that place. Accounts from Pernambuco state that all the European troops have sailed from thence to Lisbon. The long and meritorious life of this gentle. Man terminated yesterday morning, at his house in Stratton Street. The princely fortune and high connexions which he acquired are proofs of what diligence, prudence, and integrity can ac complish, under the protection of our free and glorious Constitution. It was evident that, as the wealth of Mr. COUTTS increased, it gave a stronger impulse to his liberality. It was impossible for genius and distress to apply for his protection and fail of success. His kindness was particu larly exerted on several occasions in favour of the late _A :mm Mummy, who was more dis tinguished by learning and talents than by prudence, and who testified his gratitude by • dedicating to him his Life of GARRICK. The writer of this article was present upon one of these occasions, when Mr. MuttPHY entered the room with a heart overburthened with feel ing and tears in his eyes, relating the following anecdote :----" I have just left Mr. COUTTS, to W hom I have often been indebted for liberal kindness.—A temporary embarrassment induced me to request the loan of 3004, and to offer my library to him, either as a return, or a security for re-payment. His answer was, 4 My dear MURPHY, I have more books at present than I Mall ever read, and while yours are in your hands they may be rendered useful to the public and honourable to yourself.'—He then gave me a draft for the sum I had required, and Would not take any acknowledgment." Consi dering the improvidence of genius, and the mi -s.'eries of life, this is, no doubt, one, among innu merable instances of the benevolent disposition of Mr. COUTTS. His table was marked by a -, munificent hospitality suitable to his wealth, but not by any ostentatious prodigality. The highest characters in the country were ready to accept sits in,vitations, and his mercantile consequence 'as known and respected all over the civilized World. By his first wife he had four daughters, all .of..whom were allied to noble and distinguished c onnections. To the assiduous attention of his second, he is doubtless indebted for the pro longation of his life to the advanced age which he attained, and which extended to a period When nature sunk exhausted to repose. His long "xPerience, literary and political connections, a nd observation of mankind, qualified him to be a il agreeable and instructive companion, and his C onduct and its consequences were the best illus tration of the weight and importance of his coun sels. As a proof of his sense of the value of f riendship, he had a collection of Portraits of those with whom lie had been chiefly intimate, and they were selected for personal worth rather than for elevation of rank. His manners were simple, c ourteous., and attentive ; and though he has left no male offspring, th e name o f C OUTTS will never. oe forgotten, while probity, prudence, and be nevolence, are held in due estimation. The following account appears in the Morning aPers, and, coming from the family, must be sup- Posed to be most acceptable to their feelings : " Yesterday the 24th inst., died at his home in Stratton %trest, THOMAS COU TTS , E sq .

MESSRS. LESLIES' 8.1N1K.-We rejoice to say that the Bank of Messrs. LESLIES transacted bu siness to-day.—(Cork Advertiser. Feb. 9,1.) Saturday afternoon a meeting of the Board of Trade was held. Saturday at one o'clock the Marquis of Los- ONDERR Y met several of the Cabinet Ministers at the Foreign Office, who continued in delibera tion for some time. THE THEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.— This Theatre was, as usual, crowded on Saturday night, and with a large proportion of the fashionable world. The Opera was the Barone di Dolsheim, which seems to increase in favour as it become more familiar. The new ballet of Les Pages du Due de Vendome followed, and that, too, increases in favour. The dancers exerted themselves very ably, and were requited with abounding applause. ALBERT and Madame ANATOLE entered into an emulous and gratifying competition, and were duly distin guished. DRURY-LANE.—On Saturday last a new Comic Opera, entitled The'Veteran ; or, the Farmer's Sons, was brought forward at this Theatre.—The following is a brief sketch of THE FABLE. The scene lies in an English village and its neighbourhood, where a party of soldiers are stationed, near the Mansion of General Van (M r NDE lc), who has two daughters—Rosa, (Miss FORDE) and Isabella (Madame VEsTins).' Rosa pos sesses an admirer in Captain George (HARLEY), who carries on his suit by letters. Isabella ridicules her sister, who in re venge permits her lover to make an attempt on the heart of Rosa. Under the disguise of a coxcomb he begins his ap proaches. She acknowledges that her heart had been touched, fast as it is revealed to her that the conquest had been achieved by the man whom she had ridiculed her sister for admiring.— But the wound is not deep enough to be severely felt, and Rosa is content to see her sister united to Captain G eorge. An under plot is formed from the embarrassments of Farmer Franklin (PowELL), whose son Jonas (KNIGHT) enlists, to rescue him from his difficulties, in the regiment of Captain George, who turns out also to be the son of Farmer Franklin. Jonas has a mistress (Miss POVEY), to whom he is united. As this is the period of theatrical chews, pro cessions, ST..c. • a drama calculated to produce a moral effect, r*ther than to please the, eye, is entitled to public favour. The new Opera has certainly no striking novelty of character, or strong interest in the plot, but it presents cha racters which, being purposely suited to the actors, give scope to their respective talents, and therefore excite attention and produce merriment. Such are the characters assigned to MuNnEm, HARLEY, FITZWILLIAM, and KNIGHT, and they fully accomplished the intended effect. The fable and most of the incidents may be traced through other well-known productions of a si milar description ; but as the general effect is amusing,and intended to excite moral impressions as well as to divert the passing hour, an elaborate criticism would be useless. It is sufficient to say that it evidently pleased the audience, for it received their warm applause during its progress, and their decided consent when announced for repetition. Mr. KNIGHT, the Actor, is the avowed author of this piece, and his brothers and sisters of the Sock resolutely exerted themselves in support of it. It is no praise to KNIGHT to say that he was zealous on an occasion so interesting to himself, as he is always so, from a sense of professional duty.— Miss FORDE, who came forward for the first time, is a pleasant animated girl. She possesses a powerful and extensive voice, which with more practice will place her• among the first musical favourites of the public. Her echo song was very successful, and was encored. Her acting was sprightly and natural. The music of the piece in general is lively, and well appropriated to the words. Upon the whole, if the piece is not formed of durable materials, it affords tem porary amusement to a mixed audience, and gives exercise to moral and benevolent feelings. It is rumoured in the political circles in Ire land, that the Marquis of LONDONDERRY is to be elevated to an Irish Dukedom, with the pro mise of an English Earldom. It is also said that one or two Irish noblemen, who have exerted themselves in the suppression of the present dis turbances, are to be created Peers of Parliament. We believe this rumour, as far as it relates to that distinguished nobleman, the Marquis of LONDON.. DERRY, to be wholly unfounded, but the eminent public services both of his Lordship and the other noblemen alluded to, most justly entitle them to so distinguished a mark of Royal favour, and the presence of the latter in the House of Lords would, we think, be highly serviceable to Ireland, as they must be, from their generally re siding on their estates, and from their personal exertions, at this moment, intimately acquainted with the state of their country, and consequently well able to suggest efficient and certain means of relief. COMMERCIAL REPORT, FROM THE 18TH TO THE 23n OF FEB. 1822. Foreign Produce meets an increasing demand ; the prices of the preceding week are fully maintained, and in severa l i n .. stances some improvement has resulted ; this is the case with Plantation Sugars, which are from Is. to 2s. per cwt. higher; Browns 555. to 595.; Middlings 60s. to 655.; Good 67 to 73 ; Fine 745. to 60s. Refined Goods may be stated at the like ad vance, as well as Coffees.—Pimento has attained 10s. Id..—ln the early part of the week Tallows were flat, and Yellow Candle was depressed to 555. but they have since been in active request for, duty paid, at 535. new, and 525. old.—Soaps are also at a corresponding improvement. The great speculators are san guine of an increased duty, which is indeed strengthened by what fell from the Chancellor on Friday night. EXECUTION' FOR Munnra.----At an early hour this morning an immense concourse of persons as sembled at the usual place in the Old Bailey, to witness the execution of William Abbott (aged 64), for the wilful murder of Mary Lee, under circumstances of peculiar barbarity, on the 9th inst., in the parish of St. Giles. After his con viction, he was removed to a cell on the women's side of the prison, and having swollen legs, he was not ironed. In consequence of there not being a condemned Sermon in cases of murder, the Reverend Ordinary of the prison was inces sant in his endeavours to awaken him to a due sense of his enormous offence ; this, however, was not attended with that success which could have been wished. During the greater part of yester day he appeared sullen and dejected, frequently declaring " I never intended to kill her ;" at the same time coolly smoking his pipe. Towardsl evening he betrayed symptoms of compunction, and was inclined to pray ; about eight o'clock Mr. Sheriff GARRATT proceeded to the room where the prisoner was, and he having been pinioned was led to the scaffold ; he expressed much disappointment at the bell not tolling, and frequently called out " Lord Jesus, receive my poor miserable soul !" On the scaffold he pointed to a woman in the crowd, and said, " There is the woman that swore away my life." A few minutes after eight the drop fell, and, after hanging the usual time, his body was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital for dissection. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The Annual Dinner in commemoration of that distinguished officer, Lieut.-General Sir THOMAS Ptc - ros, G.C.B. being the anniversary of the battle of Orthes, where his talents and exertions were so eminently conspicuous, was held on Sa turday, at the Grosvenor Hotel, in Bond-street, General Sir JOHN DoYLE, Bart. in the Chai►. An excellent dinner was served up, and the company, con sisting of about eighty gentlemen, amongst whom were almost all the Members of Parliament for the South Wales counties, sat down about seven o'clock. After the cloth was removed, an d t h e usua l toasts, " the King," the Duke of York and the Army," " the Duke of Clarence and the Navy," were drank, the President, in a most powerful and affecting speech, called the attention of the Com pany to the particular object of their meeting. ' Ile entered into a most interesting detail, and drew with the hand of a master the great military talents and accomplishments of the lamented subject of the commemoration. He pressed upon the company with a force and an energy which those only who heard him can feel or describe, the great national utility which such meetings and commemorations must be pro ductive of, in affording most powerful stimulus which the human mind can receive, to the performance of great and he roic actions ; that this was not only a debt of honour and gra titude to those living heroes who had distinguished themselves on great occasions, but became a debt of justice which a Q•al. lent nation like this never failed to pay to those who had, like the illustrious object of their meeting, shed the last drop of his blood in his country's cause. " The memory of Sir Thomas Picton" was then drank in reverential silence, the whole company standing up ; after which, Mr..2tlarrseavr, M.P. addressed the assembly, and having for a great number _of years enjoyed t h e f r i en d s hi p an d con fidence of the late Sir ,TIIOMAS PICTON, having had a most extensive correspondence with, and an intimate knowledge of all the respectable inhabitants of the particular colony over which Sir Tit o liras had so long presided; he drew a character of his integrity in the discharge of his various d u ti es i n th e different relations of life, with which he was, from the circumstances of his situation, particularly conversant, which powerfully affected the company, and concluded with a brilliant and finely turned eulogium upon his various merits and accomplishments. When the President gave the health of the Vice President, LE w is FLANAGAN, Esq. that Gentleman, (whose closcintimacy with the illustrious dead enahled him to do ample justice to his character and talents), made a very eloquent speech, which embraced the various and trying situations in which Sir Thomas was placed in the course of his military career; he eulogised in the most affecting language the groat intellectual and moral qualities of the departed iero, and concluded with a most ani mated appeal to the feelings of the Gentlemen from South Wales Districts, to follow up the example now set by this commemo ration. This speech was received with a universal burst of ap plause and approbation. Sir JoHN - OwEN, Bart., Member for the county of Pem broke; Colonel WOOD, Member for Breconshire; Mr. SAAR - FIELD, and other Members followed on the same side, all re cognizing the great propriety of the observations made by Mr. Flanagan, and stating that they were ready on every occasion to contribute every thing in their power towards perpetuating the memory of the great object of their Meeting, and after vari ous toasts were given suitable to the occasion, and introduced with that originality of manner, and peculiar vein of humour which so distinguish the gallant officer that presided, the Mem bers came to a unanimous resolution, proposed by the Hon. Colonel KING, that it should be an Annual Dinner, that Sir John Doyle be requ es t e d a , Tain to preside, that Sir John Owen, Bart., M.P., for Pembrokeshire, Sir Thomas Hislop, G.C.8., Lewis Flanagan, Esq., and Sir John Hamilton, be appointed Vice Presidents. A list of Stewards was then nominated, and the company se parated after an evening passed with a harmony and convivia lity. which nothing but the remembrance of the irreparable loss which the country and his friends have sustained by the ever to be lamented fall of the Gallant Picton, for a moment clouded or interrupted. It was delightful to observe two of the most eminent Artists that now adorn this country, attending on this interesting occa sion, Sir W. Beechey and M r . Sh ea , i nt i mate f r i en d s o f t h e late Sir Thomas Picton ; the latter of whom, when the Presi dent, with the good taste that so eminently belongs to him, in compliment to those Gentlemen, gave th e Arts" as a Toast, in a neat and elegant address, returned thanks for the distin guished compliment. Earl FITZWILLIAM has been pleased to signify his approbation and pleasure in the erection of a Monument to the memory of Mr. PERRY. POETRY. THE CAMBRIDGE TRIPOS VERSES FOR 1822. Ist EDORA CONRAD°.
