its great utility, may be looked up to as the psie

Royal fligloresssoucluded by giving "The Health
of the worthy Chairman."
Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, when he had before,
the honour of addressing them, he found dil6cultYl.
but when he had to speak of himself he felt the dif-•
ficulty increased. He did not feel himself entitled
to the honour conferred upon him—He had done no
more than an Englishman ought to do, in pro-
rooting general good feeling and harmony.. As
it regarded the town of Newcastle, be felt more
than common gratitude, when he recollected the
honour that had been conferred on his grandfather
and continued to hi tu.—((,lieess.) —Sir Matthew con-
cluded by giving the "Health of the new Free Bur-
gess of Newcastle, his Royal Hightiess the Duke of
Suasez—though, from the iucouvenieuce he knew
his Royal Highness felt, cud from the fatigue he
had already undergone, he was inre the company
would not trouble his Royal Highness to rise.—
(Three cheers.)
May we vier w,.nl nfriend nor a bottle to give
him."
His Royal Highness then rose for the purpose of
giviog a toast, though be must be allowed to say
that his friend, who was too independent to be
bribyd himself, had tried to bribe him to Silence;
he, however, as junior ;largess, felt it his duty to
give—
" The Mayor lied Caspoestim."
The Mayor reformed his sincere thanks for the
high honour coofeired ois the Corporatiou sad him-
self, and regretted he had not power to eapreso his
feelings.—The brief remarks a the Mayor wore re-
ceived with loud and continued cheering.
Tune—" What trill the people say!"
' The CHAIRMAN rose in call the attention of
company to the health of an honoured friend. It
had been intimated that they should only give th
health of the Royal Family with three, but he had
an opporinnity given him of proposing the health
of Mr. Larnbton, with three times three. He did
not wish to enter into the particulars of his political
conduct, his opinions were well known to them, bat
he gave him as the convoy of the Illustrious Visitor
to the shores of the Tyne, and to a numerous and
loyal people, who had testified a feeling that day
which would follow his Royal Highness to John
o'Groat's house.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. LAMBTON rose, and observed he was at sll
times inadequate to receive those cordial marks of
their approbation, but lie felt himself peculiarly so
at the present time, from the indisposition under
which he !sheared. He assured them no one felt
more warmly the cordials approbation, not only of
his friends but of those with whom he might differ
in opinion. He was proud that an English Gen-
tleman could so conduct himself as to meet the ape
probation of all. I-le felt that his tribute of re-
' sped was due to the worthy Mayor, and heartily con.
carted in the language of the Address, which moat
truly described the principles which had governed his
Royal Hhness, and will govern him to the end of
his life. The Chairman had said lie (Mr. Lambton)
had the honour of convoying his Royal Highness
from the South to the North : he pleaded guilty,
and felt assured his Royal Highness would not be
disappointed ; the immense numbers collected—
the superior feeling—the warmth of disposition—
the enthusiasm of manner, must have convinced his
Royal Highness that he lived in the hearts of the
people. This was the feeling he wished to see.
His Royal Highness disregarded every aggrandize-
ment : his dearest reward was the welcome of a
hardy, honest, cud enlightened race of men. The
incidents of the last three days had unanswerably
proved their attachment to the House of Brunswick
as the protectors of our liberties. Mr. Lambkin
concluded aneidst loud cheers.

Sir STEPHEN MAT spoke to the following effect :
—With the moot intense feeling he rose to return
thanks fur the honour that was conferred upon him.
of the manner in which the toast was received he
would have the most grateful and lasting recollec-
tion. however, he was not vain enough to arro-
gate to himself alone merit to entitle loin to such
a mirk of their regard; he must attribute the
greater part to his connexion with the family of the
Noble Lord on whose account, and for whose
success their gratulations were offered, and this

ICILIONSIT, AUGUST 31.
We regret to state that the system of nocturnal
outrage, which so deeply disgraced • portion of this
county during the last winter and spring. seems to
be reviving. It is this day our painful duty to re-
cord two acts of atrocity committed by ruffians,
acting under this abominable *yam, one of the
leading regulations of which Is. that no person shall
take ground or acquire property is any other place
but that of his nativity I One night last week the
tongue of a cow grazing on the lands of Killarney,
near Thomestown, was cut out ; the poor owner's
only crime wog, his having taken the diereses for
the season. On Sunday night last, a house situated
on the cross-road leading from Tinniness to Knock..
toplier, was set fire to and totally consumed. The
fire could not have been accidental, as no person
was then residing in it. It had been lately set,
with a small farm adjoining it, by John Prim, Esq.
of Kilree, to • man of the name of Deloughry,
residing at Chapelizod, and who intended remov-
ing to it in a few days. Those who know the •
• character which Mr. Prim hears amongst his te- •
sante and neighbours will not for a moment conceive
that this outrage was the consequence of personal •
hostility or ill will to him, and Deloughry does not
think that he has a personal enemy in the country.
This criminal act, then, could have been committed
only for the purpose of preventing hie occupying
the farm which he had taken, and in pursuance
of the code of laws framed by those midnight legis-
lators. It is conjectured that the act was com-
mitted at a very late hour, as Major Nicholson,
with a party of the police. passed near the spot
slier eleven o'clock, and it was subsequently passed
by Lieutenant Prim and a party of the Mount
Juliet volunteers, who patrolled that part of the
country until four o'clock on Monday morning.
• Having mentioned this corps, we think we could
not be justified iu withholding our feeble but un-
qualified praise from a body of men who have been
eminently useful in restriiining the disturbances in
their neighbourhood. They form • corps of, we
helieve, :Omni eighty young men, selected by the
Earl of Carrick (their Commander), from his te-
nantry in and about Thomastown, and from the
men employed in the Merino factory. Government
provided them arms only; their clothing they sup-
ply themselves, and their appointments are the gifts
of their noble and Fublic-apinsed Captain and his
amiable Countess. They are equipped as light in-
-fitntry, and are as fine a' body of men (for their
numbers) as can be seen in any service. IVe had the
pleasure some time since of seeing them reviewed;
and their discipline, and the facility and precision
with which they executed some very difficult
maiiretivres, would have done honour to veteran
soldiers. His Lordship has been unremitting in
his attention to the corps, and the men know how
to value the honour of serving under a Nobleman
who is heloved by his tenantry. amongst whom he
constantly resides, except when attending Ins duty
iu Parliament. Patties of the corps patrol the
country for some miles round almost every night
since the Insurrection Act was enforced. Upon
uric ocesiapai the patrol arrested three prisoners,
under circumstances which induced Lord 'Carrick
to send them into Kilkenny for trial, and the lame
party who had spent the night in patrolling.
volunteered to escort the prisoners a distance of
nine miles. They were acquitted, and so conscious
were they that the patrol had only done their duty
in arresting them, and so grateful were they for
such acts of kindnes4, under the circumstances, the
officer commanding the party had it in his power
to confer, that after their acquittal they remained in
town until evening, in order to accompany those so
lately their guards to the country, and actually
pressed them to partake refreshments on the road.
