A SHAM PARSON.
Weary groom alias Holland, alias O'Halloran, alias
Blobmey, Ise. eederwent • Anal esaisination, charged with
pretending to be • elerlyyma■ of the Church of E•gined,
and officiating at a •ember of parishes as Curate, where he
bad imposed epos the Rectum and Vicars by false names,
false certificates, and every species of deception possible to
be imagined. At Horsley he assessed the name of Blake-
nen where he officiated as Curate in the year 1615. At War-
bleton, in the year 11116, he summed uwthe► name. At
Bromley he assumed the simile of Gregory, as • Curate,
where he imposed upon Dr. Forester, the Rector, by •
must impudent and premeditated stratagem, hut the Doc-
tor fortunately discovered his deceptions At • parish
in Suffolk be gut pussessiou of the clerical orders, and
other things, of the widow of • deceased clergyman,
by pretending that he could essentially serve her—and after
that, be assumed the name sod character of the deceased,
and got engaged as a Curate at • distant part. The Cameral
Poet-saes having fur some lime past discovered forged
froths et same of the Members of the late House of Coes-
moos, Vickery was employed to trace oat Ike esecolor of
the forgeries. Strong suspicion was entertained stalest a
man residing in Cowley-street, Westntinster, who war consi-
dered to be a gentleman or some consequence, being know.
there as Henry Holland, Eari. be Will' ►uspected of other
offe•cos, Vickery determined upon apprehending him,
but was esetiensed against resistance, as he was constantly
armed with • brace of pistols, and • sword in • tuck stick.
However, on the nfficer's getting to see him be suddenly
seised him, and fogad him armed with the stick, but made
no resistance. He acknowledged that he bad heels armed
with two pistols, but bad pawaed them. Viekery, on seirels-
iag hiss and his residence, found the cupper•plates fu►
forged counterfeit clerical order., as certificates of persons
having taken holy orders, and impressions of them in great
numbers; some of them were filled lip with the necessary
official name* for any part of Englsud; so that it is sup-
posed that this man has been the means of seeding into
the country a ounslier of sham clergymen.
He was fully committed fur trial.

On the second day of the City of Cork election,
FRANCIS WOODLY, Esq. addressed the Electors,
and in the course of his speech related the follow-
ing anecdote :--18 Upon one occasion only, he be-
lieved, did Mr. Iltrrcutasum vote with Adminis-
tration, and then it so happened, that Colonel
Lowcritix was asleep mi one of the benches, but
waking at the moment that his colleague was voting,
he thought his side of the question ought to be
the reverse of Mr. Hircnitaao:s'i, and according.
ly he actually voted, the only time iu his life,
against Ministers."
On the third day of the City of Cork election
the polling proceeded on till Sir HENRY BROWN
Halms came to tender his vote, when it was ob-
jected to on the pert of Sir N. COLTWURST, on the
ground that having been convicted of a capital
felony, and sentenced to death, iii consequence lie
was disfranchised; but Sir HENRY having pro-
duced, in the first instance, a remission of that
sentence, and a commutation of it into transporta-
tion for life, and, subsequently, a free pardon
under the Great Seal, after much legal argument,
the Assessor pronounced au elaborate judgment,
admitting the right of Sir HENRY.
On Monday evening HENRY BARING. Esq. late
one of the Candidates for the repress-wit of the
borough, arrived at Ipswich. The entry of Mr.
BARING had snore the appearance of the celebra-
tion of a triumph than the return to the late scene
of action of an unsuccessful Candidate. Within
three or four utiles or the loan he was met by a
numerous body of horsemen, with orange favours,
who preceded ilia coo ridge. About half • mile from
the town a vast concourse of persons had assembled
to greet his arrival, with a bowl of music, flags
bearing the lutes puuw of " King and Constitution."

minittion to petition eigisiiit the elertsuti of Messrs.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JULY 7.

On Friday a scene occurred in Limerick, horrid
in description, and which was near producing con-
sequences of a dreadful nature. It appears that a
division had taken place between some tradesmen,
weavers, and the butahers's boys, in consequence
of each trade attaching themselves to the respective
Candidates as partisans.
On Thursday night one of the advocating parties
thought proper to parade in the streets, with some
insignias of their profession, and having met a few
of those who were opposed to them in sentiment, a
battle ensued, which caused several hard knocks to
be given on both sides. The retreating party were
pursued to their dwellings, to which some mischief
was done by the flinging of stones and other im-
proprieties. Next day the weavers appeared iu the
streets of the old town, with a poll, to which were
attached a garland of roses, and a placard, de-
scriptive of some particular merit due to their fa-
vourite Candidate. They had not proceeded farther
than Patrick-street, when they were assailed by the
butchers' boys, who, with the ferocity of savages,
ru►hed forth from the market, carrying hatchets,
cleavers, knives, and other deadly weapons, and
with all the composure of exercising their trade,
dealt blows promiscuously around ; one poor man,
who had been standing at a shop door, received a
blow of a hatchet in the face, and wascarried away,
to all appearance lifeless. Fortunately, Alderman
Wilkinson and Sheriff Brereton arrived in time,
with detachments of the 12th and 96th regiments, to
prevent any further outrage ; but such were the dis-
positions of those fellows, that they would not desist
until the soldiers were actually obliged to load their
muskets, which they were only ordered to do when
a disposition was manifested to give them opposi.
lion. By the exertions, however, of the Magis-
trates, present peace was restored.

CLONNEL, JULY 4.

Yesterday, in consequence of some words in the
Ehogarty booth, between Mr. Dan. Fullmer, and
Mr. John Hunt, of Thurles, they met in a short
time at Thakincor, countyi Waterford, where, at
the first lire, Mr. Hunt received a ball in the left
leg, which fractured one of the bones thereof ; but
we are happy to hear his life is nut considered in
danger. Mr. Hunt's hall, we understand, passed
through one of the whiskers of Mr. Fullmer. Mr.
Hunt was seLonded by Nicholas Meagher, Esq. of
Tleurl—as was Mr. Falkoer by Captain Robins.

COUNTY GALWAY ELECTION.
JULY E.
EtTRAcT OF A LETTER mon GALWAY.

Mr. Martin dad not appear upon the hustings.
the Messrs. Daly se►erally addressed the Electors.
Mr. D. B. Daly, iu the course of his speech, re•
plied to an obaervution made by Mr. Reding-
toil in his speech, in as nearly as I cau re.
collect the following words:—•' 1 must confess that
fur the lest two Sessions of Parliament 1 have not at-
tended my duty. I was prevented from doting so by
circanastaucts relating to my own private affairs of a
peculiarly unptessent wore ; iu fact, I was obliged
to rentals, in Ireland to endeavour to arrange the
paysnent of my debts, and to uteri the demands of
persons to slum I owed money, and not for the
purpol.e of amusing myself. as the Gentleman has
4:.sii,mstid. it is almost aactlless to say, that if I

wished to leak for atutustisr ill, f esot i*.it':e
tint have rrotiaiiird in this kisigoloso, as
of all others, the place 1110.1 capable. .4110,11104
It." Mr. Daly was here interrooptril loy iepeated
Cheers. and s Nll4lll as silence aas retooled. Mr.
itedington raid -"If toe CUltall, of mold
lw re 4444 to Engl.111(1, voll go there,
bat not others ;" which .oliserv.l:mi tins so loudly
senatord and hissed, that Mi. It.doi,gioni did out
proceed any further.
The Sheriff next called upon the Canilii.lates In
make deposits of 59401. each, to .10-fray the expellees
of the Election. The Meow, (idly ofilcm.,ll..trty
complied.; and Mr. Robert Alaimo. of Ross. -soot,
that, ou the part of Nlr. Martin. 1w was anti,oriNett
to state, that his conducting agent should attend
the Sheriff, at any time he appoint, fur tile
purpose of Making the necessary arrangement..
To which the Sheriff replied, that the present
moment was the best. The agent, however, did
not come forward, and the Sheriff, upon the sag-
gestiou of one of Mr. Martin's friends, gave until
three o'clock Rua day for the deposit to be made,
cod, pubsequently, until nine o'clock to-morrow
onoremig, when, he raid, he should either expect
the money. or Mr. Martin's reasmis for declining to
pay it. Upon which nue of his legal advisers. Mr.
Coneys, declared that be would be then ready to
argue the law of the question. and lie hoped to be
ably to satisfy the Sheriff that he somtql nit make
any deposit ; but as Mr. Marini was out of town,
he wished first to communicate with loin. In con-
sequence of this circumstance, the Court w.is ad-
journed until nine tomorrow t•onto ar-
rangements having first taken place between the
Sheriff's Assessor and the agents and friend* of
the respective Candidates, about the manlier, &c.
is which the freeholders were to he brought op.
The most remarkable circumstance that 'recurred
at this election was Mr. Martin's having beets pit).
posed and seconded by two Roman Catholic Gen-
tlemen, after the declaration contained in his ad-
dress to the County, that he would support the
present Administration. It appears rather strange
that Mr. Redington should have been displeased
with Mr. Daly's not having attended hit duty in
Parliament, when he must have known that if he
was there; he would have decidedly opposed that
Adiniaisteation; whose measures Mr. Martin has
pledged himself tuiequivo6celly to support.
All is yet uncertainty ; the friends of the respec-
tive Candidates are quite confident; the Clancarty
and Gort fatuities have not promised either hlr.
Martin or Mr. D. B. Daly ; neither has Mr. Eyre.
Mr. James Daly is secure.
For the town there are two Canditlates—Mr.
Blake (the late Member), and Mr. Prendergast.
the former, was proposed by Mr. Blake, of Bally-
gluneen, und Seconded by Mr. D'Arcy, of Killtola ;
the latter by Mr. Blake, of Merlin Park. and Mr.
O'Hara, son to the Recorder of the town. Theie
were several speeches delivered upon the 0tca5.,,,,.
The two Candidates spoke at great length, and
with considerable eloquence ; but the crowd was so
great, that it was quite impossible to take any note
of what occurred here. It is impossible to form
any opinion of what the result of the contest May
be; all parties are sauguine. and the battle will be
hardly fought.

QUEEN'S COUNTY.

Extract of a letter from Aluryborongh, dated
Sunday, five o'clock :—" An accouut is just come
in that Sir Charles Coote has been induced to desist
from further contest, finding that the coalition
entered into between his opponents, rendered the
efforts of hi• friend% for the present, useless....
For the sake of quieting the County, he has there-
fore revigued, though he hail determined to poll to
the teat, to shew his pretemions, and certainly
could have polled near 1,000 voters more, which
would have left but a very trifling majority to
the other Candidates, who had nearly exhausted all
their strength."

PRIVATE LETTER.

" Our election goer nu here contested and warm,
all is bustle and activity on both sides. On Tues-
day Mr. Carew walked into town at the head of
about 600 freeholders, and followed by at least
6,000 of the populace; the air was rent with cries
fur Carew and Colchiugh, and C:olclough a►ed Ca-
rew—they are the popular candidates—ere they pass
through the streets they are followed by the bless-
ings and acclamations of the multitude; mid no-
thing can exceed their gentlemanly and conciliating
manners. From the closing of the pull each day
till a late hour at night. the streets are crowded by
au intusenee iiiii leer cheering the candidates. It
is pleasing that in ►uch a contest the best under-
standing prevails between all ranks."
