DUBLIN, Saes. 19.
IrRIV ATV. CORRE,:fIVENCE.
Doctor Stoker, of Trinity C.illege, having re.
fused, as one of the Senior Fellows, to examine the
Can fidat-s, at the late exAmination for Folio w-
shrps, from certain scruples, ati.iog out of his
knowledge of the marriage of one of the Cundilates,
the Board carried the matt,ir with so high a
hand, that they came to a strong division upon
the question, whether he hid or had not for-
feitel his Fellowship, by his refwal. The Board con-
sists of the Provost and seven s:iiinr F.:llows. The
Members present, divided three and three. Doeur
Magee gave the casting vote in D gm- Stokes's fa-
vour, and thus secured him in his Fellowship. What
would have made his case the harder, had the vote
been the other way, Dnaor S•okei had been labour-
ing under a suspension of three years, which had
just expired.
Dior Hume, of Grosvenor street, London, who
is here on a visit to his friend., wi. h his fair bride,
had, a few days since, the honour of presentin:: the
Works of the Rev. G. H. Glasse to our University.
They consisted of his Greek Tragedies, Caraciartai,
and Simon Ilgrniatel ; come Hebrew, Greek, and Ita-
lian Epigrarns,anl his admirabletranslatinit of the po-
pular song, of Ilis, Baiky, into Monki .h L ttin.
were most graciously received, and dep isited in the
magnificent Library of the College. The continued
absence of our amiable Vice-Qll-en is much lament-
ed, and more particularly, as it is believed, that her
return is quite uncertain. Our buildings g on as
rapidly as before the Union ; although the fashion-
column of every Lonim Newspaper shows how
large a portUm of our Nshility and Gentry that mea-
sure has transferred to Englaiid, as their principal

residence.
The Earl of Pc.werscount, his been, fur a long
time past, confined to the house, at his beautiful
seat, at Powerscourt, near Bray, by a violent attack
of the gout. His amiable Countess has been unre-
mitting in her attentions. It wit, I am certain,
give great pleasure to many of yoar fashionable
readers, to hear, that Hugh Dillon Massy, Esq.
and his arniahle Consort. arrived, in parilect health,
at their beautiful seat of Danass, near Limerick, on
Monday last, after an absence of several months.
Mr. Massy is the eldest son of Sir Hugh llillon
Massy, Bart. and Mrs. Massy is the sister of Col.
Hankey, of the City of London. Mrs. Peter Li-
touches the patroness and protector of 'eke widow,
the orphan, and the distressed, is dispensing, at her
seat at Delgany, in the county of Wicklow, among
the poor, all the bles ings under heaven, with is the
compass of one of the largest fortunes in tlis coun-
try. Mr. Peter Latouche, whose heart, like that
of his amiable consort, is open as the day to melt-
ing charity, is in good health and spirits. General
Hamilton returned to his command in Dm y,
im-nertately after the breakin7 lip of the camp at
the Corr.r:h. ,;n the 9th. The he itch of the soldiers
and horses was very indifferent ; but I do not know
that it caused the removal of the camp, and the
dispersion et the force:. It is generally believed,
that Hampden Evans will be permitted to live in
England, upon giving security for his future political
condua. The emigration tat our people drank is a
general complaint here. In one instance, however,
we have to blame ourselves for encouraging it —I
mean, in the case of Lord Castlereagh. He had
better provide himself with an English borough.
He has no chance of a seat in the representation of
this country. So well understood is the operation
of halt-Amy in this city, five patients were operated
upon last month, in the Meath Hospital, by Philip
Crampton, Esq. and all of them are perfealy reco-
vered. In my last, I think, I mentioned the deatlttof
Mn. Ormsby. the wife of the Rev. James Ormsby,
the worthy Vicar of Bray : she has left four children,
all daughters.

The 3lerrurius, Rose/moo, from London, is
condemned at Tobago.
The Hipiepi r from Grimsby, for Quebec,
VMS captured on the 27ii August, in long. 27. by
the tit. Peter Spanish privateer, who, after plunder-
ing. permitted her proceed on her voyage.
The Briteit Queen. Rowe, from London, is arrived
at Antigua, a..d. is expeCted to be condemned.
The Union East Indiaman, which was run foul
of, lost her bowsprit, and was prevented front sail-
ing with the last convey front Cork, is ordered to
Portsmouth, to sail in company with the Aibioa.
They ate both bound to Madras; the 41Lisia is ex-
petted from the River.
The brig Alexander, belonging to the Ceylon Gee
vernmeAt, foundered in the dreadful gale which pre-
visited at Columba, on the 7th January ; the Com-
mander, STEPII •, Lieut. Astsexm, of the
temhurgh regiment. and the whole crew, except one,
perished.
Letters from on board the Channel Fleet, dated
off Ushant, the 10th instant, state, that on the pre-
ceding day the Revolatiotemoire, Stomata, and ano-
ther vessel, reconnoitred the port of Brest, when
they found that the whole of the enemy's fleet,
consisting of 21 sail of the line, seven frigates and
corvettes, had gone into the inner harbour, or what
is called Brest water, to shelter themselves from the
ands of the late strong winds. Our fleet, at that
time, consisted of nineteen sail of the line, and
scrotal frigates.

WOBURN CRICKET MATCH.
fait Thnrsday. the Matqais of l'avisroce, and his
brot'aers, Lords Jone and WILLIAM Rtaset.x. Lord
At exa M DA% G-isino,i, and other young Nnblemen,
being on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of neo•
ratio, at Woburn Abbey, a cricket match was made
their amusement, on the lawn, in the front of the
Abbey. Ten of his Grace's servants were matched
against eleven of the young men of Woburn ; soon
after eleven o'clock in 'he fnrenorin, the p fifties hav-
ing refreshed themselves e•ith bread Aral cheese and
ale, in a large marquee pitched on the lawn for the
purpose, they set to, and exhibited much play,
the game continued to be keenly conie,ted until near
five o'clock, when viCtor), which h ti 'leen hitherto
doubtful, •leclared in favour of Lis Grace's servants.
The Duke and Duchess, Lord SACKII LL E., and se-
veral other persons of distinCtion, were speEtators,
doting a great part of the time. At the conclusion
of the game, the Mis:qais and Lord Got:DON retired
for a short time to the Abbey, to dress ; and,on their
return, sat down with the players to an excellent cold
dinner, provided in the marquee ; and these young
Noblemen afterwards spent the evening in the ut-
most pleasantly and harmony with their guests.
The novelty of the scene dew a great concourse of
persons round them after dinner, all of whom were
regeled plentifully with his Grace's strong ale,
cold meat, bread and cheese, &t.. His Grace and
the Duchess sent down three or four times in the
cow se of the evening, to enquire, and to supply
every refreshment which the party or the speCiators
wanted. It was near two o'clock in the morning
befote the parry broke up; many songs were sung
by the different persons present, with the artless
manner of some of which, the young Noblemen ap-
peared much pleased.
