Yesterday, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs waited
on Lord Cathcart, with the freedom of the Cor-
poration of the city of Dublin.
Yesterday morning, and the preceding evening,
:here was a great press for cars, and even jingles
and oilier vehicles, were taken up.
The Curragh races commence on the I 5:12 of the
ensuing month.
MOCK Psess GANG.—en Sunday night, fmr or
five persons, who had made a praaire of boarding
merchant vessels in the river, under the pretence of
pressin,, seamen for the British Navy. were appre-
hendedby some of the Police Officers. Char.scs of
a very serious nature were preferred against them.
It seems they had first ill-used, and then robbed the
masters and n.ates of some of the s'rips ; but in their
last preclat Ty excursion they were severely beat,
and one of them wounded in a shockia.7 manner.
previous to their apprehension. They w rr detained
they whole of Sunda), in St. Andrew's watch house
They were all committed to Nesvgate by the Lord
Mayor eleCt, Alderman Jenkin.

One of them wore the uniform of a yeomanry
corps belonging to the vicinity of this metropolis.
Captain Roberts, who misted the attack of the
above-mentioned banditti, in a very spirited man-
nirr.when they bearded hi.vessel, lies dangerously ill.
The building the Martell° Towers for the pro-
teaion of the coast from Bray to Dublin, proceeds
with unexampled dispatch ; they age in general about
40 feet in diameter, precisely circular, and built of
hewn granite, closely joined : some are already So
feet high, and exhibit proofs of the most admirable
masonry ; one has been jolt begun at Williamstown,
near the Black Rock ; those from Dalkey to Bray
are nearly finished.
From a correspondent at Bells, we learn, that
the paragraph which appeared in the papers, re-
speaing the murder of Mr. Wilkinson, on hi. re-
turn from the fair of Navan, was not strialy ce.rrea.
It appears, that Richard Wilkinson was purposely
way-laid and murdered, and that his companion
(1-lar vey) who rode berind bim, was wounded in
the breast, and is still in a dangerous situation.
Not the smallest article was taken from either of
them. The letter we have received contains some
particulars, which we do not deem proper to lay
before the public. _ _

O e of .the offenders, who lately matpod from
the Provost, has been apprehended sear Naas.

Though it is generally thought that the conduit
of Judge Fox has been passed over by the Marquis
of Abercorn, yet nothing is more certain than that
every kind of preparation is making a: Mr. Gal-
braith's office (agent to the Marquis), taking dowa
the depositions of witnesses, for the purpose of lay-
ing them before the House, early in next Session.
Judge Fox went the same circuit last time ac he did
the time before, and Mr. Hart was again Foreman
of the Grand Jury. The Judge took every oppor-
tunity, during the whole of the circuit, to compli-
ment the Grand Juries, apparently wishing to con-
ciliate matters as much as he possibly could.
The names of the Commissioners are as follows :
—John Itoshfooi, Freslonok Gala, Robertklssander.

Secretory James Corry.

The turning out of the journeymen tailors, in
Cork, some time since, for an increase of wages, has
been a great annoyance to the beaux of that city,
as it happened madly at the time of the last assizes,
when every one puts on his best bib and tucker.—
cne bakers, in revenge, have taken up the cudgels,
and seem determined not to give the tailors the
bread th:y were so unwilling to earn before.
