The order to fire on the mob, it semis, was not ev en given by Lieutenant HUNGERFORD ; nor did ntlY person at any time give any order to fire on the prisoners. The party of Yeomanry had marched from the barracks at Clonakilty, in con sequence of a writ from Mr. It. B. NORCOTT, of the Excise there. On arriving at the place where the s till was at work, the Revenue Officers seized it and the two men who were working it, giving Them in charge of the Yeomanry. But for the Precautions which were now adopted, the whole Party must have been destroyed. Four horns Were heard by the Yeomanry, sounded in diffe rent quarters ; and th e p eo pl e were wav i ng th e i r '' . ats s hafl oo i ng, and running in all dire ctions.--In !short time a vast number of men were collected ; ' . ,W O of w h om stepped forward, and audaciously rclared that if the party persisted in attempt , 7, to carry o ff th e st ill or t h e i r pr i soners, " t h e i r l ' s ti t s Should be pulled out on the spot."

The wounded prisoner (the 41: e 0 11nt says, and this part of the st a t emen t cer 141uly requires flu t!ier expl a n a ti on ), rema i ne d i n Elie hands of his party, far behind, where the t ' at tle ended ; and if th e Y eomanry h a d : t urned for him, it wou ld h ave occas i one d il °ther attack, which was far better avoid e d. s eV eral of the ri o t ers , it i s a dd e d, were kill e d aiid ' tunwounded.

The Insurgents, however, now begin to ll osar in open day, and to give regular battle to King's troops. Lord BANTRY has been a h - : u nd tim e repulsed by the rebels, in the neigh 111%00d of Inchigula. His Lordship having on e r e !

The military tti sur fired several rounds, obliged part of the tis sin bents to fall back ; but the remainder con ' g to keep up a smart well-directed fire, Maintaining a skilful disposition, Lord tit s 1 ;; 1 's party was compelled eventually to re ' leavi ng the dead body of the soldier in pos issti" of the enemy.

KING'S THEATitE.—The new Opera of Il Ba rone tli Dolsheim was successfully repeated on .Saturday last. The music has merit, but is cer tainly not equal to what we have been accus tomed to hear at this theatre. It has, however, been justly - observed, that it is well suited to the respective powers of the vocal performers, and therefore is very gratifying to the audience in general. The Carnival de Venue was revived on this oecasioa, and brought forward in a splendid and interesting manner. A new dancer, MARIA MERCANDOTTI. distinguished herself in this. piece. She had, indeed, appeared before this season, but not . with. such prominent effect ; and she exerted herself with so much ease and grace, and has besides so agreeable a person, that she is likely to become a prime favourite. The rest or the performances went off with the applause of a numerous and brilliant audience. DRUP.Y ANE.—The admirable tragedy of Othello, one of the chief works of its unrivalled author, presented Mr. KEAN on Saturday, for the last time, in' the part of /ago, as announced in the play-bills. We are surprized that he should relinquish a part which he supports with so much spirit. as we do not think his mer it i s equa l i n Othello. But it is by no means an uncommon circum stance for actors and actresses to think themselves best qualified for parts in which they like best to appear. Mr. KEAN certainly enters into the na ture of Othello, and supports the character with great feeling, :but Ingo is better calculated to draw forth his peculiar style of acting, and he acquitted himself on Saturday with characte ristic subtlety, and a gay and easy humour. Mr. COOPER'S 011/CllO was highly respectable and very iMpressive. Mrs. W. WEST gave a very affecting interest td the gentle Desdemona.. There was a numerous audience. COVENT-GmtnEN.-- The alteration of 7'/ac Tempest gave YOUNG an opportunity of display ing characteristic energy in Prospero, on Satur day, and enabled Miss M. 'TEE to appear again as the best Ariel withi❑ our remembrance. Miss STEmENs and Miss lIALLANDE, in Dorinda and illiranda„‘yorp very agreeable representatives of those characters, and the vocal performanCes of all three were ,loudly and justly applauded. IRELAND. PUBLIC COAL YARDS,. FROM SAUNDERS'S NEWSLETTER A.:;D DAIIN ADVER, TIZER,—DUBLIN JANUARY B.] QUA RTER ASSEMBLY. • • • SUAKESPEAR GALLERY, JANUARY 14.=Previous to the consideration of the admission of the Roman Catholic Gentle men,. proposed to be Members of the Guild. of Merchants, Alderman Nugent called the attention of the Guild to an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, abolishing one of the most useful and charitable establishments in Dublin, PUBLIC COAL YARDS,' and moved that a Committee should be ap pointed to address the Government of the country to use their influence to restore them. Mr. GRATTAN having expressed a wish that some further explanation should be given on the subject, • • Mr. GLASCOCK offered himself to the attention of the Meet ing, and- after entering fully into the rise and progress of the several Acts relating to the • Public Coal of this City, he re marked, that the Act passed late in the last Session to abolish those truly valuable institutions, recited the Acts passed on their being established ; but, singularly enough, omitted that of the 40th George 111. which declares they were of such public utility and charity, as to be deserving of being made perpetual, arid was so decreed and left by an expiring Legislature as a legacy to the poor of Dublin. Mr. G. further remarked, that he was confident the Right Hon. Gentleman, who (he found by the Votes of the House), had introduced the Bill; was imposed upon by some malicious and interested person, for if he had known half the benefits the Dublin poor received from the Public Coal Yards, be never would have introduced the Bill at all ; to prove which Mr. Glascock stated, that on the day before Christmas day, upwards of 1,100 bags of coals were delivered out of those yards to the very poorest of the poor, and that each has was subdivided among two Or four, nay, eight or tea families, at the low rate of 20d. per bag. The Meeting might calculate how many individuals were thereby enabled to sit down to a warm dinner, instead of par taking of their scanty meal in a chilled and cheerless habitation. After some further explanation from Mr. Glascock, Mr. Grattan declared himself perfectly satisfied. Mr. Ews, M.P. begged to observe, that before he and his worthy colleague left London at the close of the last Session of Parliament, they applied to the Secretary for Irish Affairs, to know if there was any more Irish business to come on, when he assured them that no Irish business, and particularly no business in which the City, of Dublin was in any manner in terested, would be brought on in the House that Session ; and yet, they scarcely left London when the Bill for abolishing the Coal-yards was introduced by the Secretary himself. The Appointment of the Committee was then carried. Now we state upon unquestionable authority, .that the like establishments of coal-yards under the same acts are made applicable to the City of Cork, with equal, if not greater, benefit to the poor. As a_ proof, in the last year no less than sixty-one thousand persons were served with a measure of coal, each at fivepence, being at the same low rate as that delivered in Dublin, and in former years a general average of from 500 to 800, and often 1000 persons per thy, were sup plied during the winter• season, whilst those yards at Cork were open. They are. now, and have been for some days, we understand, open by order of. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and the stock delivering out to the • poor in the usual may, though the act was considered to have expired. The KING will come to town on Saturday tiext ; and on Tuesday his MAJESTY will go in state to the House of Lords to open the Session of Parliament with a Speech from the Throne.— It will be seen by the extract given from the London Gazettc of Saturday, that the most judi _ _ cious arrangements have been formed for this inte resting occasion by the Lord Deputy Great Charnbe► lain. Our Scvenpenny Statesmen have been chatter"- ing at a tine rate last week! According to them, one day the Russian ultimatum is accepted by Turkey, and the, next day it is rejected !—But we can assure our readers that there is no ques tion of ultimatum on the tapis. flow is it pos sible,.indeed, for Russia and Turkey to come to an amicable adjustment, unless Russia abandons the cause of the Greeks altogether? for the lat ter will certainly not abide by any stipulations which may be made in their favour, as they will never voluntarily submit again to the barbarous yoke of their former oppressors. Actordin , to the last accounts from Russia, the army under Wittgenstein has broken up from its canton ments, and is marching towards Turkey : and it is from high authority that we are enabled to an nounce the important fact, that Tim GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE IS THE KING OF GREECE IN PETTO, AND THAT THE CAPITAL Or HIS DOMINIONS WILL BE CONSTANTINOPLE:—(BiIIiSh Monitor of yesterdajj.) „... i sli:l2 . ).tz.:l l -- p t ~,......v,„.„ „,•., ...

About four o'clock the elegant crowd was immense. In costume there was little or no variation from the prevailing winter fashions. Some ve r y taste ful equipages were sported for the first time in the drive. RAMSGATE, JA N. 25.—This morning (being the natal day of our worthy Patron, Sir 'WILLIAM CURTIS, Bart., when he attained the venerable age of 70 years) was ushered in by the lively pealing of the parish bells, and a gay display of colours from all the vessels in the Royal harbour, and every situation that had the convenience of a flag-staff. During the day many parties of professional gentlemen and trades men met at the Albion Hotel to drink health and a prolonga tion of days to...the Worthy. Baronet. In the evening a most magnificent Ball and Supper was given at Cliff House to the numerous friends of Sir William and family, which concen trated all the rank, beauty, and fashion of Ramsgate and its environs. The grounds, with the house, and conservatory, were brilliantly and tastefully illuminated, and had a splendid effect. The company began to arrive at half-past nine, and et a late hour departed reluctantly from a scene where such un bounded hospitality and a profusion of the choicest viands were presented to them.—On the 29th, the Anniversary of our Most Gracious Majesty's Accession to the Throne, we shall (in con junction with the whole country, I hope), celebrate that au spicious event by a public dinner, which at the same time it serves to evince our loyalty, serves also as an annual meeting, established by our late revered Magistrate, to promote harmony and goodwill between one and all.

BRITISH INSTITUTION.-011 Saturday last the Gallery in Pall Mall, belonging to this Institu tion,'was opened for a private view of the Works of Art which have been sent for public exhibition. Many of these works have been peblicly seen before, but they display so much merit as well entitles them to repeated inspection. This Insti tution ought never to be noticed without a tri bute of high commendation for the laudable principles of its foundation, and its beneficial consequences in the general improvement of the Arts of this Country. Many Artists of great talents has its fostering protection raised from obscurity and exalted into fame and fortune.— But besides this advantageous influence in the' general promotion of the Fine Arts of the Coun try, the Conductors have liberally encouraged and stimulated Genius by purchasing works of extraordinary merit, as permanent ornaments of the Institution. We shall probably take some notice of the works presented this year, that have novelty as well as merit to recommend them to public attention. THE Aitlq T. A. detachment of about 80 men of the Royal dragoons marched from itadipole barracks to Warminster and Frome on the 24th inst., where they Were eipeCted to arrive On Saturday last. A detaChinent of the 77th iegiment of foot ar rived at Stiiling on Thursday. They are on their wap to relieve diffeient detaChments of the 41st, at preSeilt quartered in the north. GENERAL OrricEits.—W e haVe heard from pretty good authority, that a meeting of those General Officers who receive nothing but half-pay for their long and faithful ser vices, will take place some time previous to the assembling of Parliament, tor the purpose of considering . what measures it may be advisable to adopt in order to obtain the benefit of his Majesty's Regulation of the year 1811 (enjoyed by all other Generals of the Army), by which they were induced, or se.. dtieed, to continue in the public service, of which they have been deprived in direct violation of the public faith.—(Mornihg Post.) ROYAL NAVY, On Monday the Racehorse sloop of war, Captain the Hon. Chas. Abbot, arrived at Portsmouth from-the Mediterranean station, to be paid off. She left Smyrna Oct. 23, &rite 30th, Malta 26th November, and Gibraltar 22d December. There were lying at Smyrna, for the protection of the British interests in that quarter, the Cambrian frigate, Capt. G. W. HaMiltOn, C.B. ; Rose, 18, Capt. Clowes ; Martin, 18, Capt. Askew; and Medina, 18, Captain P. D. Hay. Nothing had occurred lately among the Greeks and the Turks beyond sanguinary combats between small parties of these f erocious enem i es . Th e G ree k s , by their superior dexterity and nautical knowledge, were lords paramount of the seas, but none of their rencdntrts had been attended with any important result. The French had a squadron of five shipS, under Aditiral Halgan (in the Guerriere, ranee 64), the Dutch one frigate (the Diana), and the Austrians one frigate and a brig, under a Commodore, lying at Smyrna.— Capt. Hamilton, of the British frigate Cambrian, gave an ele gant ball and supper at Smyrna, on the Ist of October, to Admiral Halgan, the Dutch and Austrian Commodores, all the foreign Consuls -and English residents and merchants, on the occasion of our gracious King's auspicious visit to his (Capt. H.'s) native country, Ireland. The Racehorse left Vice-Admi ral Sir Graham Moore, K.C.8., in the Rochefort, 80, Capt. Charles Schonberg, C. 8., and the 'Re vo l u t io n aire f rigate, Hon. Captain F. iellew, at Corfu. His Excellency General Sir T. Maitland 'intended to embark in the Rochefort, for Malta. The R ace h orse s p o k e transports h aving the 90th Re giment on board, going into Zante, whither they had been sud denly ordered from Malta, in consequence of the discovery of a dangerous spirit of commotion and revolt extensively among the Greeks in that. island. The Seringapatam frigate, Capt. S. Warren, C.B. ; and the sloops of war Chanticleer, Capt. Eden, Dispatch, Capt. Jervoise, Larne, Capt. R. Tait, and Redpole, Capt. R. Anderson, were lying at Zante. The Race horse bad a bad tempestuous passage ofthree weeks from Malta to Gibraltar, at which place, on the 26th tilt. about .50 vessels were driven on shore t i son the lines, seven of which were to tally lost. The Independent Buenos-Ayrean frigate Heroine, commanded by Colonel Mason, had arrived there to refit, hav ing five feet water in the hold. She had captured, during her cruise on the coast of Spain, a Spanish man-of-war brig, and sent her to Buenos Ayres. 'A Portuguese frigate was cruis ing against the Algerines ; the treaty having expired, the Portuguese have dared not to renew it, by . withholding the customary tribute to the Dey. The American frigate Constitution, Commodore Jones, with the Ontario sloop of war in company, had left Gibraltar for Nlincrca. The Earl of Chatham had been in good health since he tool: the command of Gibraltar. _ General Don had removed to St. Roque. The Racehorse spoke in the Bay of Biscay the Burleigh, Stannes, which left the Downs on the 7th ult. for Tobago, but on the 28th, in lat. 45. long. 7. every thing was carried clear off the deck, except the stump of the mainmast— the bowsprit, foremast, mai,a topmast, boat, &e. all went by the board. The Burleigh has since arrived at Plymouth. Lieu tenant Wallace, R.N. ; Ensign Johnstone, 90th regiment; and Lieutenant Pengelly, R.M. invalided from the Revolutionaire, came passengers in the Racehorse, with invalids from the squadron. The Racehorse is ordered to be paid off at Ply. ; mouth. On Thursday the Euryalus frigate, Captain Augustus W. J. Clifford, C.R. went out of Portsmouth harbour, fitted. for the I Mediterranean station. Mr. llarnilton,just appointed Minister at the Court of Naples, it is expected will p;o out in this ship. The Owen Glendower frigate, Captain Hon. R. C. Speneer, came into Portsmouth harbour on Tuesday, to fit for Channel service. The Shearwater is paid off. The Nautilus, 18, Captain Isham F. Chapman, arrived at Turk's Island the December, with a piratical brig, which she had captured after a chase of 13 hours. She bad 54 pri soners on board, and was bound to New Providence with them, for trial. The pirate was in the act of robbing an American ol i w it a • r, Sir Charles B urrar d, ship, )Mondaye tl ie the Nautilus d h s o l v o e o ` p m . Baronet, returned from New York. She arrived there on the 25th December, and sailed on the 2d January.—The sum re covered from weedie was 18,0001. and this was effected by in timidation. Within an hour and a half after the arrival of the Hind, by the vigilance of the British Consul, and the offer of 500 dollars to the Magistrates, Tweedie was traced to his lodg ings, and the optiou offered him of either being sent on board the Hind or giving up the money; he acted'upon the 'latter, the amount being in bills. On the following day to that on which the money was restored, the American Judges said, that if they had been consulted, they would have contended against the right of exacting the money from him in that country : the Government would not permit his person to be given up. The Hind is come into Portsmouth harbour. Sir Robert Seppings last week made another inspection of the alterations making in his Majesty's yacht Apollo. Mr. Cowan is appointed Surgeon of Portsmouth 'dock-yard, and of the Royal Naval College, vice Walker, superanauate.d on a pension. Capt. Wm. Bowles is appointed to the William and Mary yacht.--rtlr.
