At another time, he stated that his bene factor had been the soul of the South American insurrection, and that he bad solemnly sworn to him on his death-bed to continue the sante' aids ; be .was now, therefore, sending out great supplies " of ships, arms, &O: ; ,he named two ships, the Asia and Portit Ode, as belonging to him, and represent ed that he met a deputyon the high road whenever lie WiShed confidential coin munication, Lis he dared not trust the otterandeof his secrets where there was any possibility of his being overheard or sus pee!ed.

To, fi•usfrate . inquiry, he had forbidden all his agenta, iiankers, {k e to acknowledge any transaction with hitn, licit he was in, continual anxiety on that' subject, and had reason to apprehend that at • • tempts had already been . made • to intercept and pet use his papers and correspondence..—' lie, however, hail warned those of his tamily, , -horn he suspected, against the indulgence of a curiosity ruinous to - himself, and inevitably fatal to them . Some feiv days afterwards . most of the: above de- tails having appeared in a country paper, aitd,been.

Replied with enicit " lie burst into tears." For some reasons 'which young.C. would not assign, ,the.realization o$ his promises was to be deferred until the Ist of January, 1818—but to sustain his statements in the interval, and lull the Sus . - picions of an anxious suspence, he desired his father to take him to I.li'. ‘Vetherby, of New- 'market, who, afier the' first introduction was over, and the father had retired, received directions from young C. to 'mike his will. - the obser vation that he was a minor, he replied, that the punperty being personal, he had.the legal right. 7— In the next interview; he desired Mr. Weatherby to he one of the Executors, to which he agrecti,, it the lather or brother were joined with him, and at the interview he insisted that Mr. W.— shonhl acciTt of a legacy to a considerable tnimnt , hut this Mr. \V— refused, g 1 th ough young .

Every. one who had au) , thing to •F,dl, whether of real or per;onal property, made their offers, and.no ot,e recciVed."direct refusals.

The'..oulv instructions given by the gallant party to Mekrs. LuCas and Reilly were " Let it 'hu Tkincelf..Dioner." This ,order was strictly obeyed ;. for' never could a more magnificent one be served up--.• 411 the, luxuries of the culinary and confectionary. art . were profusely displayed ;. the ,dessert was rare and costly and the wines of the choicest flavour. The Royal Guest was several times on his legs, and shewed a ready and fertile mind.iu the elo quent 'manner in'which•he returned thanks, and prefaced hiS ostotoasts. He expressed, in _low= ing terms, liis adinieation - of the sumptuousness of Ihe banquet :provided for him by his Biotber Tars, the remembrance of which would - never be übliter~ted from his memory ; :at the 'same lamentiug the State policy that had prevented him from:shailfig' their glories and their dangers, .and leading such heroes as those pr , sent•to vic tory and reuown. His Royal Highness's last toast was particularly admired The Land of Wheat, the Land of Oats, the Land of Potatoes, and the Land of Leeks." It is almost unnecessary to conclude with as serting that the harmony- of the Meeting was . complete. The Duke took his leave at twelve o'clock ; but the party did not separate till some hours after.. • - DREADFUL RIOT IN SOUTHWARK. On Friday night, between • ten and: eleven o'clock, , .a scene of riot and outrage no - often exceeded took place in the Borough of Southavar,k ; more than a thousand-persons were coltettethupon. the occasion. A public-house, theßlaca' Lion, Blackman-street, was nearly deniliShed by-au assemblage ,of the loNer class of Irish, and twos women were shot, and were carried, 4:extreme danger, to Guy's Hospital. One of the . women had sixteen shots in her head, and the other was in a situation nut less critical. This orcli nary disturbance took place, front the best infor mation that could be gained, in- the following manner :—The.Black Lim, in Blackman -street, was frequented (particularly the. - tap , rootn) by work ins; Irish, and the pirlour by persons of re spectability in the neighbour'mod. The conduct of•the Irish has lately beets so very outrageous, that the windows have been broke by them. These outrages occasioned a_number'of people to collect together in the street, when not lstre qaently a general fight has followed, which has not terminated Without .the interference' of the Police. About a fortnight ago, Mrs. Lasleyobe landlady of the public-house, charged a men, 'named Martin, at Union- hall, with ,acting in the most outrageous Manner he possibly conld, by de molishing the windows of her house, and with assaulting her. Martin was at the head of the gang of Irish labourers, fish women, &c. and being a Most notorious character, Mrs. Lesley was afraid to proceed. against him', because his com panions had threatened to be revenged it she punished Martin. Martin agreed to make Mrs. Lasky a compensation tor the injury lie had done her, and, having withdrawn her complaint against hint, be was discharged.. The tnoment he was set at liberty,. he threatened to be revenged upon Mrs.,Lusley for causing him to he confined, and swore - that he would pull her house about her ears. Since that period he hail sought; every 0p. 7 portunity .to effect his revengeful purpose by bringing numerous persons to the' house and creating a riot. .On Ftiday night, about .elevess, several • respectable tratresmen in the neighbour hood were in the parlour of the Black Lion, where nothing but hilarity and good humour pre vailed, One ()Elbe party was singing h song, when they were disturbed by two very meanly dressed' fellows entering the parlour. Their gestures gave indication to : the company that their intentions were of a nature not to be misunderstood : their threatening attitude caused every one to stand tipun the defensive. One of the fellows seized the poker from the fire-place ; the other• stood with ' the door in his hand, and taking a whistle out of , his pocket, blew it loud' enough to be heard in the street. Mrs. Lasiey heard the sound it` the bar, and suspecting that some of the Irish were going to pay her a visit, she flew to the door, and called open) Mr. Abbot, a respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood,. who Was in 'the parlour, to .come to her assistance, and protect her from the mob, which by that time bad reached the,oulside,of the door, and deMaladed admittance lath the tiouSe. 'The g'sag consisted of. about 70 . person's: they shouted and yelled in a most terri fic manlier, and were so very desperate, that the worst was to be apprehended,. Af tlt'y obtained entrance. 'Amok the gang were a great muuber of draoken Women, chiefly of .bad character, 'and .the men were mostly thieves. They were furious from the liquor they bad drank, and having Mar tin -at their head,' and being pushed op- . by their conduct w,,s extremely outrageous. . They attacked the house with mud, , and such missiles as they could collect together heyeven• pulled up• the pavement and broke in the window shut ters, windows, and doors',. and entered sir differ ent bodies at . the doors, windows,asul cellar. The ravage in the house then Commenced : the turoi ture was broken, the pots were thrown about and trod under foot, and nought but destruction was to be seen on every 'Side ; every one who made the least opposition to their desperate and desu lating ravages, was beat in a brut'al and inhuman manner. After they had destroyed every article of furniture on the premises, they proceeded to pull down the wainscot partition that divides one apartment from another, and'finally they demo,_ liShed the window frames, and threw the pieces into the street. The landlady of . tie house ran up stairs the moment the mob had gained en— trance into the house,'to save her life, and to de fend her property (a considerable sum ofiloney), Which :was deposited in a chest of dr'avVers in her chamber. Mr. Abbot; a m'an of great spirit, fol lowed Mrs. Lasky up stairs, and asked her if ,she had not some fire-arms in the house. She had 'a gun ready loaded with small 'shot. Mr. Abbot immediately let it off amongst the crowd through . the aperture, where a few minutes before a win dow stood. The contents of the gull lodged in the head of a, young. woman named •Elizabeth Johnson.. A dozen shots entered her forehead. The mob (which by this time had increased tose veral hundreds) were not at all intimidated by the effect of the firing of the gun, and continued to break, pull down, and destroy'every thing within their reach. • Several watchmeo attempted to quell the riot, but their feeble force was not able to oppOse such a multitude. Fortunately one of the watChineu gave information to thecOnstable of St. Coorge's, Southwarky who ithmediately:colleeted, all /h e force h e could, ano iirocveded to 314 e. Black Lion public-house. Prior• to his arnv the -nick made a combined artack to'seize Mrs. Laiky, who tortuoately . escaped. ,clo%vn. Ebel:lack, stiots into the yard, and sent - a .youth who was.in yard • for the assistance of the police-offieers..ot U.-ion Hall and the parisli constables. • She was: obliged to assist the .yonth o%•er a hi;kwall, every avenue in from being completely llocked up by the rioters. The youth met with the parish con stables,' and several police officers, who concen trated their force, awl made towards the scene of outrage iii a body. • Previous to their, arrival, Mr. Abbot had reloaded the gun, ap) was, frOin neces sity to save •his own and the life of Mis. Las )ey, obliged to'fire it off again among the mob, or they themselves would have - fallen into their hands... 'Tbccontents of • the gun .wounded two persons, nmati'slightly, and a woman, named Ann Smithfield, in a Very dangerous manner. The wounded man was taken home by his friends ;• he had nothing to do.with the attack on the house: he was casually passing, and was taken . away be fore the arrival of the con,iobles. The ‘vonntled females were caLrie4' on .shutters to Guy's Pospital.%,;Great.numbcrs accompanied them dowo, the High-,s:reet',: - Borough, - and as they moved along they inereased in number, •and when the . women-were lodged in the hospital they returned to Blackman-street, where not less than 2000 personse.ere collected together.' The exte rior Of the.public-house bore marks of the.devas tation 'ravages of the law lass mob, and,.the interior was...rendered, as melarkeholy a spectacle as the Pxtehor,,t9r.potliing Whole on the premises could be found. Upon' the arrival of the police the snob began . to disperse very rapidly ; 'the eing leader escaped, and many of the most daring of the gang. Three fellow,- who-were active iu the attack upon the premises,' were secured and taken to 411 C. Wit . Cll-110UM 'Man y• of the gang, who• Are not yet in rostody, are well-known depredators upon the., public, and have heen nonvieted 4 iit re puted thieves. There is no doubt but most of them will be apprehended iti a very short. tirme;.,as they are well-kliolvn,by,the Police Officers. War rants have been issued for their apprenenSion,.and one more of them was thken 'on Saturday night'. Saturday afternoon, .Mrs. Lasley,.and it r., Abbott attended before Mr., Serjeant SEet,oN, and pro duced the, wor.whiCh vas fired upon (lie mob. Mr. AbbOtt said,' that their lives was preserved by'his firing ; he should not have fired.triore timn once, it it had not beertabsolntelynecessary:for their preservation. When they had fired :noce, they conceived, he sup Posed, thai 11. M loaded, and not seeing' .that :the . 7 ylviing , W.ornan was wonndedi they continued their,attack„. When lie fired the second time the per Son who teas wounded fell, the mob _heard lief-screlimSrlinditn mediatelyletreated,. findi . ng, that, he was deter- Mined to defend himself; and from . a report that the constables were coming, they whb had been most active deca:opeti. j - • Mrs. Lasley- corroborated the statement of Mr. Abbott, who said, that her life had been saved by his undaunted spirit. The Magistrate Seijeant, SELLO9) • could not help lamenting that a' ()image should have been committed ;: he direeyed the officers to be vigilant in apprehending ,all those who,were concerned in such an atrocious transaction, Wand ordered the persons who are in. custody to• be brought op for examination. on a future' day.— The :wounded females arF,still ali'Ve and may (in the opinion of the Surgeons of Guy's Hospital) recover.
