sion•hoase, in Dawson-street, his Grace the Lord

Yesterday, at a Post-hall of the Corporation of
Smiths, an eledion took place for a Common Coon•
cameo to represent said Guild, in the room of the
late Mr. Christopher Humphries, when Mr. Luke
Sibthorpe was elected by a considerable majority.
The Races at Londonderry commenced on the
21st instant. The Plate for 100 gs. the best of three
four-mile heats, was ran for by Lord Donegal's bay
horse War, and Counsellor Battersby's bay horse
Jerry Sneel, and notwithstanding the wetness of the
day, which rendered the Course extremely weighty,
there was a most excellent race, which was won
by the latter.
His Grace the Lord Lieutenant has been pleased
to fix the first day of OOober next, for the com-
mencement of the volunteers from .the Irish Militia,
under the AA of the last Sessions of the United
Parliament. The requisite arrangements have, by
order of the Earl of Harrington, Commander of
the Forces, been formed fur the superintendance
ani general conded of the volunteering from the
iegirnents of Militia to those of the Line.
The number of men to be enlisted is not to ex-
ceed such number serving at the time of passing the
Al as will reduce the Militia regiments below
three-fifths of the establishment I the proportion
then allowed to enlist is five-fifths. The total to be
enlisted is upwards of 70U0 men, all well disciplined
and valiant soldiers ; a real and important acces-
sion to our disposable military force. Of the
above, the Galway. Londonderry, Louth, Tyrone,
King's County, and Kerry regiments, have the
honour of contributing the greatest number to the
general defence.
The encouragement is liberal. The Volunteers
will have their option of mitering either without limi-
tation as to the period of service, or for the term of
seven years, and will be entitled, in the first case, to
a bounty of fourteen guineas, and in the latter to a
bounty of ten guineas ; one half of which will be paid
on attestation, and the other halt on their arrival at
the head quarters of the regiment of the line into
which they have entered. As the regimental neces-
saries (or what, in the soldier's phrase, is called the
Kit.) ot each soldier may be presumed complete, the
above bounty comes to him clear of all dedudions
whatsoever.

The Hon. Dr. Sr. LAl;Riblet, Bishop of Cork
and Ross, was expeofted in the Diocese on Wednes-
day last, to take pos.ession of his Bishlprick, and
