On the I ith inst. a numerous and most respectable de-
putation, consisting of the Mayor, Sheriffs, and principal
Inhabitants of Cork, waited on Lieutenant-General Sir
John Lambert, and presented him with the following
Addres;

• .
TO Litxt.-ntxnuat. SIR .7011 W LAMPIV.RT, X. C. Z. &C. &.c.
St a—We, the Mayor, Sheriffs, Recorder, and ptincipal Inhabit-
ants of lark and its neighbourhood, beg leave to express the un-
feigned regret which we feel at your removal from the command of
the Southern District, and the high sense we entertain of the firm,
judicious, and conciliatory manner, in which you have fulfillel the
duties of that important station.
You have held the commend of this District, under circum-
stances which frequently called lee the adoption of measures—tem-
perate, but decisive ; and we feel ourselves culled upon to acknow-
ledge, that you have, on all such occasions. exercised the powers
with which you wore intrusted, with equal discretion, firmness,
and humanity. •
Your residence amongst us has given us continued opportunities
of marking those• amiable and conciliatory qualities, which so emi-
nently distinguish your character in social life, and which have so
justly entitled you to our sincere respect and regard, whilst your
benevolent contribtuions to our Public Charities, and your unceas-
ing liberality to the distrersod of every description, have endeared
you to all ranks and classes of society.
All.iw us, then. Sir, to bid you fbrewell with the most affection-
ate :moraines of our esteem and consideration, and to request that
you will accept our most sincere good wishes for your health, hap-
piness, and prosperity, in every situation of life which you may
hereafter be called upon to fulfil—and we shall at a future day have
to request your acceptance of a piece of Plate, which was this day
unanimously voted to you, ss a small token of the estimation in
which you are held in the South of Ireland.
To this Address the gallant General made a suitable reply.

The House of Lords were engaged yesterday morning ir
bearing further evidence on the Gardner Peerage case.
Dr. Granville, Dr.Chionock, Dr. Dennison, Dr. Hopkins,
Mr. Stocks, of Dartrnore, and Dr. Elliotson, were exa-
mined to show that women frequently go beyond the usual
time of pregnancy. The present claimant to the Peerage
was born upwards of nine calendar months after the late
Lord Gardner had ceased to cohabit with his wife.

AVe. understand that, to carry his Majesty's most gracious
pleasure into effect, the Bill for the restoration (with the
other two) of the title of Airlie to the Peerage, is in pro-
great of being passed before the conclusion of the Session.

The Corporation of Cork have voted the freedom of their
city to Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzclarence, who has been for
Fume time in command of the 11th Regiment in that gar-
rison, but who was recently appointed to the 7th fuaileers,
which arc under orders for Corfu.

The admissions this year at Cambridge are less nume-
rous than usual. This diminution is attributable to the
additional examination, which has lately been instituted,
to the final examination for the B.A. degree being much
more severe than formerly, and to the number of those
ordained being much greater titan can be provided for by
the Established Church, either as Incumbents or Curates.

The Lord Bishop of Exeter has been pleased to nomi-
nate the Rev. J. D. Coleridge, vicar of Kenwyn and Kea,
and chaplain to his Lordship, to fill the Prebendal Stall in
Exeter Cathedral, vacant by the death of the Rev. Pre-
bendary Carrington.
The Rev. Thomas Homer, 8.D., of Trinity College,
Cambridge, late second master of the Free Grammar
School of Sheffield, has been elected bead master of the
Boston Free Grammar School.

The arproaching Hampton Races, which take place on
the Gth of July, tinder the spirited auspices of Mr. Ball
Hughes and Hubert De Burgh Esq. as Stewards, are
expected to be unusually brilliant and attractive, and some
excellent running is expected, from the character of the
horses entered. The Race Ball also, which takes place
on Thursday, the second day, is expected to be most most
numerously and fashionably attended.
141LAINOW.-A paragraph has been making its round in
the gapers, stating that Mr. Watt had refused nine thou-
sand
guineas for his celebrated horse Memnon ; and that
he has declared he will not part with it on any consideration,
deeming it the property of the public, owing to ifs en-
gagement in the Doncaster St. Leger. We can state that
these accounts are false, no suit) sum having been offered
for the horse, and Mr. Watt having made no such decla-
ration.—York Courant.

We believe it is not generally known that it is no longer
necessary, when forwarding the Newspapers by the post, to
address them to • Member of Parliament. The address
of the party is sufficient, only forwarding the Paper in the'
visual manner with the ends exposed.
THE CP.EEE INDIANS.—WE are informed that etwiate'
:
meeting of the Creeks they made three irrevocable laws,
viz., 1. That they would not receive one dollar of the sum
stipulated to be payed them by the last treaty for their
land. 2. That they would not make war upon the whites,
nor would they shed a drop of the blood of those who
should be sent to take their land from them. 3. That if
they were turned out of their houses, they would die at the
corner of their fences, to manure the soil, rather than thay
would abandon the land of their forefathers. We are fur-
-1 ther informed that General Mackintosh moved in Council,
when the first cession was med.!, that any person who
should propose the cession of another foot of ground,
should be put to death.—Dorian Gazette, May 10.
