rensbbrill.

• His Omer opened the hpjl mi

afletwarda danced quadrrat with ilw blames
Mips Smyth, and Mips Giles. The timeliest band
of the Waterfued regiment and * fell orchestra at-
tended ; and the ball-rowen brilliant'', lite and moot
tastefully decorated with national and artificial
flowers, wreaths, &c. presented a most charming
scene.

The refreshment room was also handsomely fitted

by the Duke's own servants. At one o'clock the
supper rooms were thrown open, and displayed great
taste in the costly arrangements. All the delicacies

gret, still casting

A longing lingering look bebiad."
The urbmity and finished manners of his Grace
sod his polite attentions, especially to the ladies,
were most conspicuous, equally gratifying to the
delighted guests, as, no doubt, the universal satis-
faction excited must have been to the noble bust,
whose only wish appeared to be to make all around
him pleased sod happy.
His Grace passed through Youghsl on Sunday
on his way from Rosiellais to Lismere.
. The Duke of Devooshire, the Hon. My. Aber-

accomplished bride (the daughter of Lady Eliza-
beth end Thor. Kavanagh, Esq. of Borris), arrived
at Oak Park, the Colonel's seat, county Carlow.
The populace assembled on the occasion, nod of their
own free will and accord made bonfires, and re-
ceived the happy pair with every possible demon-
stration of joy.

DR EA DIV L ATROCITY.
On Friday ought last Meow.. Kelly and Smith,
of Captain W.lcoek's polite, succeeded in appre.
hebdion the mined jaaell Patriek Car-
ty. John Mo/ony, and Thomas Collias, all of whom
are charged with the wilful mauler of Ulick Burke,
Esq. in February hut, near Capps : they are lodgtd
iu Itutlikeide Bridrovell.

On the next morning. at ten o'clock, a f.-ni Je
who had been seen the day before at Ratlikrale,
arid who was 'conceived to have given infornistion
which led to the apprehension of the fuer fellows,
proceeding to the well of Capps, near where she re-
sided, for • can of water, was seized upon by • mull
with his face blackened, who instantly dragged her
into the grove, and in the moat savage manlier, at-
tempted to cat her throat. The approach of some
pyritous prevented the miscreant carrying his inten-
tion into effect, as he only gave her some scars un-
der the chin ; and by the humane directions of Mr.
Keay. of Captain IVilcock'a police, she is placed
under surgical cure in Rathkeale, and hopes are
euteltaisted of her speedy recovery. The must
prompt exertions were made by the police, accom-
panied by Robert reppard, E-q. and his son, to
apprehend the perpetrator, who has for the present
escaped.

Since writing the abuse we have received the fol-
lowing from a respectable Magistrate :
lave to acquaint you with one of the most &r-
-ise attempts at ,:utassitiatioss which perhaps has ever beeu
recorded in the late, I fear I may add present, retiellioa.
" As a girl of the same of Catherine litekie was walking
on the arrest leading to C.ppa HIIII/4., we Asturtisy last.
about the hewr of eleven o'clock in tbs &truants, a man,
whose face was blsekasted, seised her. anti dragged her iutu
a grove that steads by the *weave, sad there with a risor
cut leer Outset scrota, but prorrodeotially the design of the
ruffian is frustrated, as there are wiagalue loupes of the girl's
recovery.

" ilia Wept took place winds front twenty to sixty yards
of a cluster of houses, our of them a forge, t►e door of which
opened towards the spot to which t►e assassin drew her,
and in that forge were four men at the moment. I must
Mate that no suspicion of cutleries rests again., How
four men, as the noise in the forge promoted the Ores cries
frum being heard. There are two policemen stationed at
Capps, and Mr. Peppard was walking within sight of, and
out more thou two ur three headrest yards frees the girl at
the time the traossetion occurred: one of the most public
roads in the comity rune beside the place where she was at.
larked.
"This outrageous attempt on the life of an iuooceut
young woman, caused by a sospiciou of her haviog giveu
aufusenaiimi against murderers, is a. Hese evidesee that the
spirit of desolation has only lain smothered during the few
months of doubtful tranquillity that has reigned in this
county, and the maul face b. lug blackened is a weil-katiwis
symptom of rebellion.

(FROM OUR NEWCASTLE CORRUPORDENT.)
From private information which had been re-
ceived, iudicatiug that a meeting of theme infatu-
ated insergenta who have hitherto disturbed this
part of the county was to take place on Saturday
night last, Lieutenant Miligain, of the rifle bri-
wide, quartered at Newcastle, attended by a pa.
trot of his men and a few of Captain Wilcock's
police, marched from Newcastle to the mountain of
Glendaff. They cautiously proceeded along the
different by-roads, end the extensive chain of
mountains of Morristown, Drousrue, Glemore, add
Itithcabill, by which tuasitraere they succeeded in
apprehending fourteen -men. After • fatiguing
march of upwards of thirty miles through moun-
tains and bogs, they arrived next day at Newcastle,
where the prisoners were lodged in the Bridtwell.

The following is en extract of a letter from a
Gentleman on board the Ocean•transport, dated
Saturday last :
"This looming we fell in with the David Shaw, fmm

LITERARY RECOLLECTIONS OF LONDON.

[room the New Vona.), Maga:bee ]

am never tired of walking in London. Whe-
ther I !perambulate the broad pavement of Oxfoid-
@tiro, steal cautiously through the postdates pasties
of the Seven Du►b, thread the mazes of oxen and
sheep in Smithfield, or jostle rich city Merchants on
Curs,hill, I never fail in finding an infinite fund of
interest and amusement.

But let me give some account of my pe-
regrination. It was a clear autumn morning as I
passed through the massy archway of Lincoln's
and traversed the venerable square, so rich
with a thousand legal associstiona. The doors of
the Hall in which 8ic,,,,, and Clarendon, and
Sh.ifteshury delivered their judgments, were open,
and I step red iu. lum not, thank Heaven! versed
in the intricacies of equity; but I could not help
feeling a sentiment of the highcat veneration as I
stood where the powerful intellects of the country
had for ages displayed their powers. Upon the
ancient wain►cot was emblazoned many a noble
escutcheon, and many an illustriose name, upon
which the sun seemed glad to rimed his rays, en-
riched and glowing with th- rations tints of the
stained windows through winch they passed. As I
gazed on these metnortals of ancient genies, I re-
called the wen whose newts they casamentorated ;
and first. seuli a stately and very unmerited step
came the Lord Keeper Halton. Alas ! the voice
of Air. Flar, moving, 4 think lie said, to (Ito-
Italie an injunction, at the same time dissolved my

perhaps; tine of the most affecting biographical
sketches in the language. How hard it is to refrain
from tears when we hod Lady Russell repressing
hers, lest they should intbltier the few remaining
hours of her husband's life ! Of his execution a
eery detailed account is given, from which 1 wilt
traiocribe a few particulars which enrich thi. place
with the most interesting associations : "He went
into hiv coach with great cheerfulness ; Dr, Tillot-
son sod Dr. Barnet accompanied him. As they
were going he looked about him, and knew teem!

him, and did .ot put off their hats. He said there
was great joy i,r some, bet that did not touch him
so much as the tears he observed in the eyes of
others, for that, be said, mode him tender. He
snug within himself as he went along ; sod De.
Burnet asking him *hat be was singing, he said it
was the 119th Psalm—but he should sing better
very south As the carriage turned into Little
Queet.sireet, he said, " I have often turned to the
other hand with great comfort, but now I turn to
thus with greater." As he said this he looked to-
words his own house. and Dr. Tillotson saw a tear
drop from his eye. Just as they were entering
Lincoln's Inn. fields he said, " This has been to me
a place of sinning, and God now makes it the place
of my ittiniAraetit." He wondered to see so great
a crowd assembled. He had before observed that
it rained, and said to his companions. " This rola
may do you hurt that are bareheaded." He then knelt
down, and prayed three or four minutes by himself.
When that was dune, he took off his coat and waist-
coat ; lie load brought a night-cap in his pocket,
fearing his servant might not get op to liito. He
undressed himself, and took off his cravat, without
the least change of countenance. Just as he was
going down to the block, some one called out to
make a lane, that the Duke of Albeinaile might
see ; upon which he looked full that way. Dr.
Burnet had advised him not to torn about his
head, when it was once on the block, and not to
give a signal to the executioner. These directions
he punctually attended to. " When he had lain
down," says Dr. Burnet, " I once looked at
and saw no change in his looks; and though he was
still lifting up his hands, there was no trembling.
though in the moment in which I looked the exe-
cutioner happened to be laying his axe to his ueck,
to direct him to take aim ; 1 thought it touched
but am sure he seemed not to mind it." The
executioner, at two-strokes, cut off his head."-
