ELECTION:—We have previonsly lerved, that the expectation of a General Election 'l)efore the usual termination of Parliament is Strongly ;prevalent in Ireland. Colonel LONG FIELD, one . of the Members for Cork, has tie example of other Candidates, and announ ced his intention 'to 'offer himself again for that City. Lord BERN AWD has declined standing for the `Comity of Cork, at the emotink Election. No tontest is now likely to take place in that County, ant{ the Hon. Mr. HAVit and L-rd KlNGs aoaoucii, will, most probably, represent it in the ttext Parliament.

Upon a full and minute investiga 7 lion, it was proved to the said Coroner and Jury, t hat at the time of his having committed the fatal ' 4 'eed be was not of sound mind and understand but lunatic and distracted : for it appeared, that previous to his being committed to the castle, the 4th of July last, he attempted, whilst under cnifinemeut at Huddersfield, to hang himself ; 1 / 4 tid that about two months ago, he made a second ‘ttempt to do the same in the castle, when in bed With another prisoner, but was prevented.—(York kper.) , KIbiJAPPING A NEGRO. - An indictment at the 'listanee of the State of Maryland, against J.

"- We think it necessary to caution those per- , sous, who of late seem anxious to try their fortune in Sduth Atnerica,.a4ahist the practices of some in dividnais'in the City, whose whole object in their pretetuted advocacy of the Insurgents arises from a wish to benefit themselves. The history of their conduct has been commonicated to n'. by a Correspondent, on whose fidelity we can, rely, and it is simply this : A vessel is char-: tered ftir South Ainerica,„ and advertises ftir passengers. The persons who apply meet wit the most flattering reception from some indi vidual vYhO acts as broker. He tells the in-' quirers that oa their paying him 40/. passage money, he will secure their conveyance out and procure them reconimendations, by which they are certain to get commissions whin theyarrive. no doubt, seems very encouraging. hut nothing is done until the 401. is paid. After that the recom mendation is given, and then the party is tool that unless he has previously served as a coMmissioned Officer, he cannot expect a commission on his arrival at the Insurgent head-onaters. If he has so served, the letter of introduction is ,given to one of the South American Chiefs ; but it he has not, he mos, he content to enter himself ~as a vo lunteer, or to forego his passage-money."„ We have taken the above paragrapu from The Day and New Times, and earnestly advise Those who are so rash as to embark in the cause M the revolted Colonies, more particularly British Of ficers, to reflect upon the consequences of being taken by the troops of the Mother. Country, as they can expect no support from our Go vernment, which is on amicable terms with Spain. Intieed we cannot but express our surprir that otir Government should permit the levying of troops in this country for those who, whatever may he, the feelings of private in• dividuals in this 4 , r any other Nation, ought to be consith-red dS ',he's by those who are in alliance wi:11 toe Parent State. We are, however, far trow wishlog 11.4 f the British Government should take any actte part dgainst. them. Portugal seems to act with cautions policy in this respect, and Era. , re, if it carte in a condition to interfere in their favour, supposing it has a disposition to do so, has had too tormidAle a lesson on the sub- ject , since its interposition in onr dispute with our American Colonies inolonbtedly prepared ;he way for the most dreadful and detestable Revolution ever recorded in the annals of mankind. The Dublin E rening Post says—'' A distin guished Patriot Genital has arrived in London ' from the Spanish Main, for thy purpose of making purchases of large ~hips, in order to he converted into ships ,d wit.. to compose a respectable navy. We can afhuin, there is no want of dollars to carry into tfeci this great objee:t. The General allud ed to says, if the PaVriot armies are not nt ?he pr , sent moment every thing they require, tiiey soon will he, alld that a navy is now a prime object, so to be disposed of at sea as to co-operate with, and give assistance to the military operations on land. The negociations of the Ge neral, on the sobje , t, are already far advanced to 'a favourable issue With equal confidence we can state, that the Patriots ate in negociation with a certain Lord, of Naval celebrty,-to take the com mand of the Patriot fleet. His Lordship justly rntes his services very highly, and will only agree to conditions witich will give him the supreme 'command at sea." A letter has been receiver , from one of the pas sengers in the brig Two Friends, which sailed from Spithead on the 27th July, with volunteers to join the- Spani . ,b Patriots in South America. The wri tet• states, that the Inig was fifty-three days on her passage to Madeira ; that all the passengers Were unwell . except himself, occasioned by their crowded uncoult , lrtable state ; wo of them (lieu tenants in the Boyd Navy) had had a dispute, and fought a bloodless duel on the forecastle, though each fired five shots. DP4D Attv s.—A poor woman in the course of this Week, whose body, arrayed in tattered weeds, and her face in tears,. displayed, if not the " pomp." at least the " circumstance of woe," had levied pretty considerable Contrihntions on the benevolent, by a heart-rendine relation of the recent death of an affectionate husband, and of her destitute state, which disabled her not only from providing for her numerous children, but also rendered it impossible for her, without assistance, to - give the deceased Christian burial. One Lady, particularly affected .by her piteous tale. having ascertained her name and the place of her residence,. desired her to call again, and she would arrange some plan for her permanent relief ; accordingly early next morning a car penter was dispatched to measure the body, which, to his astonishment, and the confusion of the impostor, was sitting by the fire in per fect health, filling itself with a hearty breakfast from bread and cheese and strong beer !—(Bristol Paper.) DARING ROBBEltY.—Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning last week, a spirit shop, Calton, was broke into, and a considerable quan tity of spirits carried off, with a 311119 of money, and various other articles, to the value, in all, of nearly 501. The robbers had to force a 'door, secured with a good lock and a strong iron bolt. They had afterwards, before getting into the shop, to traverse a dark passage and descend a staircase, at the bottom of - which there was another door, also secured with an iron bolt. The forcing of these doors must have been attended with a great deal of noise ; Out the robbery was not detected until the proprietor came to his shop next morn inv. The thieves could DM have been engaged less than three hours, and sd coolly did they go about the business that they supplied themselves 111 the street lamp immediately adjoining, which was found in the shop next morning.---(Edin burgh Evening.

DRUR'Ir-LANE.—Mr. K RAN, 'on Sattirclay, ap peat ed in the character of Sit' Giles Oderreach, one of the most popular plays of one a our most vi gorous and powerful 01 , i Dramatists. In this cha racter Mr. KRAN had acquired.nearly as much po pularity as in any other, lint whether fame has rendered him somewhat negligent, or whether he now endeavours to 'r he belier than well," accord ing to the old saying, it is certain that he:did not play with his usual effect on this occasion. rer haps, indeed, his manner being now familiar to the audience may pall in its operation. It was evident, however, that his peculiarities seemed to be 'stretched beyond their usual limits. His pauses were much longer than common, and his pronuncia tion' of words drawn to an unpleasant extent, more particularly in the word honourable, which was rendered much longer than any other in the dic tionary. He might, therefore, he said to border on the expression of feelings on the part of the audience very different from what he has been ac customed.to receive. But the audience have them selves chiefly to blame, for the enthusiasm of their applause. of the very manner which they now seem to condemn, doubtless contributed to render it ex cessive. The general outline of the part, how ever, was well conceived, and there were many of those flashes which must always prove im pressive, and these were as well received as heretofore. The part of Wellborn was assigned to StAIILEY, instead of HARLEY, but we saw no reason to rejoice in the change. MUNDEN'S Moran was very good, but was somewhat too elaborate, and consequently tended to excite weariness and langour. The Play, altogether, was well supported. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LORD OsoßY.—After an absence ofi34leriirs, this much-respected Nobleman was lately induced to visit his paternal estates in Ireland; from whence he returned to his seat in Ampthill-park, Beds, a few days ago. As might be ekpected, his nu merous tenantry were highly gratified once more to see their noble landlord. Their unpolished extacy was almost enthusiasm. On his arrival at Castle Town and from thence to Upper Ossory they dispensed with the horses, and drew him and the Ladies FITiPATRICK a great distance, voci ferating their blessings in true-Irish expresSion; A ball was given on the occasion, and rich and poor vied with each other in testifying their,feel ings by the most rapturous indications of heart lelt joy, The products of the Grand Musical Festival, at Birmingham, amounted to 83211.
