FETE AT SION 11ILL.

Yesterday the Duchess of MAR T. BOROUGH gave a
grand public Defiant, at Sion Hill. It was upon
the usual scale of sumptsousness, taste, elegance,
ai expence, that characterise all her Grace's en-
tertaininents. The company began to assemble at
two o'clock, and had all assemoled at about five,
when they sat down to breakfast. During the previous
time, they amused themselves in sauntering through
the lawn, and admiriag all the be.anties of this enchant-
ing scene. The Panileau Band and the Opera-House
Band also contributed to heighten the pleasures of the
day, by playing the most favourite airs and pieces.
Five elegant marquees were erected on the lawn, and
fitted up in the most elegant style, for the ac-
commodation of all the company, except the Patric t's
immediate party, who occupied the saloon,which was
ornamented with the most rare and fragrant shrubs
and Bowers, tempering the heat of the day with
their grateful and refreshing odours. After break-
fast, which consisted of all the delicacies of the sea-
son, there was a party formed for dancing, which
commenced on the lawn, with Sir Doevi Hunkr
Blair, which was followed by several other favour-
ite dances.

The Duchess of MARL zottouoss, and her charm-
ing daughter, Lady ELIZABETH Srcrtcsa, did the
honours of the fete, and received the company with
captivating grace and enchanting affability, the ex-
pression of which was heightened by the pleasure
they seemed to feel at beholding their fashionable
guests delighted with the entertainment of the day.

fashion, were;

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—Fmsomr, JUN. 22.

In the cause of Enema, Plaintiff in error, v. Crau-
lard and others, Defendants in error;
Mr. EP SI: INE was heard at the Bar of the House,
as Counsel tor the Plaintiff in error; and Mr. Ginss
in reply, on the part of the Defendants. After
which the LORD CHANCELLOR, in a speech of up-
wards of two hours length, went through the whole
of the case, and concluded, by informing their Lord-
ships, that he would have them furnished with co-
pies of the various questions which had occurred to
him upon the case, and his observations the: eon, for
their consideration, previnus to their Lordships pm-
, nouncing their final judgment.
The Earl of LIMERICK then rose, and ad-
verting to a Morning 1-sper stated, that a mis-
representation had been made of his speech upon
the Petition of Mr. Justice Fox. He had been
made to say, in the Paper alluded to, that the
learned Judge could justify his condal. Hr de-
nied having said so; on the contrary, he afros-
ad, that if that Gentleman's concludt was one-
fourth part as bad as had been represented in the
Petition presented to that House, by the Noble
Marquis opposite to him, he should not be suffered
to retain Isis situation on the j,tdici.sl se-at cue mo-
ment. He did not mean to bring the Publisher of
the Paper alluded to before their Lordships; if that
had been, his intention, he would have proceeded to
prove who the Publisher was; he only mentioned
the business, as a caution to the persons who report-
ed the proceedings of that House, not to misrepre-
sent any thing that might take place in that House.
The Marquis of ABERCORN said, be had this
day come from the country, purposely on this busi-
ness. When he presented the Petition of Mr. Hart
against Mr. Justice Fox, he totally negleelNl to
move, that the Learned Judge should be furnished
with a copy of it. It was mere inadvertence on his
part, as it seas certainly his original intention dist
it should have been dome. He had several other
Petitions in his posses,ion, on this stihjea, and he
would trespass on their Lordships time, a few mo-
ments, in addressing them on Wednesday next. As
he had very little to say, he should not move to sum.
mon the Lords.
The House then adjourned to Mond.ty.

anti spirit which they did, Ireland would have been

lost to this crummy.
Mr. /10X said,lithat at the late 'hoar of 'the
night in which he rose, he 'Llotold confine himself to
a. re* observations as he possibly eculd. lie though:
the Hon. Gent. who sonke last had put th iestion

on its jtht ground. He had made an eulofiium on,
the Indemnity Bills. Whether they 'leers! consii,
tutinnal or not, he would not enquire; but though
severities might be necessary in Ireland. those also
remember the system of flogging and mrtures that
took place there, don't know that any reason
exists at present for similar nccuirences in any
pert of the United Empire. He thought the
Noble Lord had made a manly defence, very
Aiffevent from what some Honourable
men had done who followed him. He never under-

stood before that the powers of the Lord Adroc.tte
were so great; but as they were conf:sinily L.; from
the Learned Lord's own acknnwledKment, the
greater necessity there WAS far the interfnettcg
the House. He asked, had Morrison done any

thing which he ought not to dot If not, he has been
mo..t emery used. If the cnnduel he has piirsued
in dkc his servant is sufficient to mak?. h:rn
an ent.:ny to his country', it is not Morrison is
to blame, nor the Lori Adria:ate ; bet the
Parliament, who have for twelve months las:
past encouraged and recognised the' right of
maters to prevent their servants, iftlur? chose, from
entering into Volunteer Corps. If he was even a
guilor ma t, he ought to have been heard. The
I..ed Ads'oca:e owned there was a proposition in-
deed ; but then Morrison did not come to pim, and
own hiniself in the wrong. This was the mode of
aftiott which mtge.; a man to proceed in the exercise
of oppression and, wrong, rather than "go e5.,44

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A new Rosalind made her debut at this Theatre,
last night. She is a good figure, about middle
size, rather inclining to the em-boa-p.siat. Upon her
entre she appeared much agitated ; and, though her
reception was most flattering, she was not able to
clis4st herself totally of her tears in the course of
her performance. The plaudits were so loud at in-
tervals from every part of the house, as frequently
to interrupt her, and increase her embarrassment,
—• Under these circumstances, her performance
‘ar.r.ot be considered a fair subjea for the severity
I criticism. It is only where the aelress appears in
full possession of all her powers that criticism has a
sight to interfere. This new candidate for theatrical
fame bears some resemblance in her manner to the
fascinating Mrs. Jo k 13 A N, and appears to possess the
necessary requisites for attaining a respeetable rank
upon the stage. Mr. ELL t ;TO N was an excellent
Orlando; and Mrs. GI lifts dressed and played Audrey
to great advantage. In charaders of rural simpli.
city, this lady certainly has but one rival. Mr. BAN.
EleS 701dchitone was given with great humour,
and excited universal applause. The house, as usual,
overflowed rith an elegant company.

SUICIDE.

We have learned the following particulars in
addition to those given in this Paper on '4olday
last, relative to a gentleman who had shot himself.
After many fruitless searches and inquiries, it
was perceived that the hatter's name, and the
initials G. L. R. N. were in the inside of the hat
worm by the deceased. It was taken to the
hatter's shop, whose foreman recolleded writ-
ing the initials about a month since, in a hat
purchased by a gentleman, and delivered by him,
the foreman, at the Spring Garden Coffee-House.
On enquiry there, the waiters remembered the
Gentleman perfeely. He often dined there with
parties, and lodged at No. 15, Percy-street, Rath-
bone-place; that he was a Captain in the Navy, and
his name Leckey. The account given at his lodg-
ings was, that about six weeks since, Captain Lec-
key, who had been Post Captain of the V sciory, of
100 guns (Lord Nelson's ship), returned from
the Mediterranean, and took lodgings there ; hav-
ing, from indisposition, been obliged to resign his
command. He had been a brave and gallant officer,
was extremely polite, and always in good spirits.
On the fatal Friday, he dined with the family of
the house where he lodged, in Percy-street, and
after dinner wished them good evening, in his usual
affable manner, without the least appearance of de-
sangement or irritation. Messrs. Denton and Cle-
nsentson, Clement's Inn, were the Captain's ag erns,
and gave the necessary direfions for his funeral.
On Monday night the body was interred in the
burial round belonging to Mary-la-bonne Church.
It is said be was a native of the North of Ireland.

peror has granted numerous valuable privileges to

The Emperor presented, at Coblents, 200,000
livres to the unfortunate sufferers, by the overflow-
ing of the river Ahr last summer ; and has besides
ordered the Counsellor of State, Ctetet, as inspe&or
of the national forests, to give them timber gratis,
to build new houses.

The Duke and Duchess of Bavaria, as well as
their children, the Prince Pius, and the Princess

On the 29d ult. a shock of an earthquake was
felt, both at St. Serra°, St. Melo, Concale, and
all along the coast. It was felt Irons east to west,
and continued for forty-three seconds. The wind
was North, and the shock was so severe, that per-
sons who were in the churches at vespers, left them
for fear that they would tumble down.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

On Monday night Mrs. Hays, a most respe&able
old lady, above 86 years of age, and who has re-
sided above thirty years in her house in Pall-Mall-
court, Pall• Mall, retired to her chamber, atteneed
by her servant. about ten o'clock, her u'ual hour
of rest : when undre,sed and pit to bed, the servant
joined the rest of the servants in the kitchen, where
they were at supper. Mrs. Hays's chamber was In
thm attic story, fz-,t the bz:rtefic of the air. About
eleven o'clock the servants heard a most dreadful
crash and a groan backwards. On running out.
they found their mistress, in her night gowa, fastened
by the spikes, having entered her thighs two inches
above the knees, to the railing, her hack broke, and
her skull fractured in two places. On being carried
into the house she expired. It appears that she had
been for some months in a state of childhood, and it
is supposed something. as she slept, alarmed her. and
that she opened the window, and threw het self out.

Although the officer. for the entry and discharge
of goods have already 'iren exfuniael on oath by
the Commissioners of viui; y t the first thing done,
when an officer comes before them, is to swear him ;
from the very extensive range they tike in their en-
quiry, it is supposed they will not finish for some
rears, but certainly it is impossible they can be
ready tor the next Session of Parliament ; in the
event, the salary of some will be enlarged ; but all
fines, perquisites, &c. &c. will be entirely taken
away, and the establishment put as much on the
phur of the English lin:rse as possible. It certainly
was absurd, that the different places of land-waiter,
•which were filled by genthstnei, should have a salary
:•.it of 301. a year annexed to then, which was infi-
less than a common porter's ; however, I am
S-.clined to think the ger/Honor would rather have the
Sul. a year and fees, than an enlargement to 6,14
tories that sum yearly. Their enquiry is not confined
merely to the officx.rs of the Custom House, but the
clerks in the Post Office are every day examining by
them.

have learned, from the best authority, that
Government intend to a'aolish the places of Post-
masters General of Ireland, now filled by the Mar.
quisses Drogheda and Ely, and that our Poet Office
is to t•ntirely under the controul of Mr. Freeling,
at your side of the water. Old Mr. Lees is just
alive, and that's all. Sir Michael Smith, lam con-
cerned to state, is very ill, and :attended by two
surgeons. There is some talk of Mr. Walker, our
Recorder, being advanced to the Bench, in case of
a move among the Judges; but he has no chance
of succeeding to the place of Master of the Rolls,
in case of that place becoming vacant.

the weather being fine, we had a very good view in-

sure of being saluted fr.)nr both sides of the entrance
with shot and shell', two of the latter nearly fell on
