Ott Saturday, the 12th instant, the 'leak* took
plate for a Knight of the Shire for the county of
Rilke.nny. to serve in Parliament, in the room of the
Right Hon. •.‘. utiarlS firabancin Ponsonby, now Lord
pensonby. when his son, the Hon. George Punk/n-
-il, was unanimously elated. He was propo ed by
ee Hata. Lord Iketrin, and seconded by Sir John
Bloodies. After the usual ceremony of chairing,
ke be entertained a t umber of the nobility, ge:ttry,
and freeholders, at the Sheaf.inn, where the follow-
ing loyal and• patriotic toasts were drank :
This lime a nelConstiturkin.
The c of Vk
111, Lord Lieutenant, avid prosperity to Ireland.
Tho Arms), Nest,
When Mr. Ponsonbv gave
rbe G.llerttor of air County of oike
Lord Osmond arose, thanked the company, and
proposed
The Health of the New Member •
And. in a few, but appropriate words, expressed his
Sincere satisfattion, at the unanimous and cordial
supp-rt which the son of his old friend that day ex-
perienced ; and which, he trusted, would be conti-
nued to him, as he had no doubt hut he would con.
tinue to deserve it. It was received and drank with
acclamation Lord lkerrin next rose, and gave
The Health of their late hied and faithful Representative,
Lord Poasoeiby ;

which was greatly applauded. After which, the fes-
tivity of the evening, cansiderably enlivened by the
songs of Counsellor Lysaghts and the wit of the
Company, was prolonged to a late hoar.

A foar-wheeled cart was standing on Sunday last
at the front of Lewes barracks. which is on the top
of a hill, when some children got into it and began
to dance, which put the wheels in motion. and
caused the cart to roll precipitately doves the hill,
ant upset on the Brighton road ; one little innocent
was killed on the spot. and another had its arm so
&adored, that amputation became necestary, aad
was performed by the surgeon of the regiment; the
child's head was also bruised, yet hopes are enter-
tained of its recovery. They were both children to
a eerjeaat of the 6th Dragoon Guards quartered
there.
On Thursday evening, about nine o'clock, the
report of a signl was heard in a retired part of the
Cow, at Salisbury, near the East end of the Ca-
thedral, salmis, es easasiastiee, it was &smiths"
as unhappy young man, who, about three weeks
ago, enlisted into the ltith Light Dragoons, had
discharged a pistol against his own head, the top
of whit h was completely blown off. He was a
German by birth, and it is understood that his bro-
ther is a Field Officer in the Prussian service. His
genteel deportment had occasioned hoth officers and
Ism of the 16th to treat him with particular re-
aped. A letter found on his person, from a friend
is London, blending with the promise of assistance,
some censure nn a psi t of his conduit, is supposed
to have been the imniediato incitement to the ra,h
aa. though the primary came was mental derange-
ment. occasioned by a wound in the bead. The
Coroner's Jury returned a verdid saerv.
A youth, about II years of ago, son of Mr. JOMIT4
Cannata., of Skiptnn, received a violent blow oa
the head, on Wednesday se'nnight, from one of the
race horses, and was taken cff the field apparently
lifeless; we are happy to add, that, by the skill and
attention of the Surgeon who was ealle. in. the dan-
