DUBLIN, MAY 4.

The regular proceedings of the Adjourned Quar-
terly Assembly, on Thursday, were considerably de-
layed, in consequence of the dismissal c.f. Mr. Gif-
fin'd from his situation of Surveyor and Gauger on
the Customhouse Quay. That Gentleman addressed
the Assembly in a speech of great Imsti7, in which
he went through a long history of his services, and
his zeal to maintain the Constitution in Church and
State. Ho was followed by Mr. M'Auley, who
moved three Resolutions, viz.
" Resolved, that it is the undoubted right of every sobjea of
this f ral rn 0 petition any branch of the I.srgisl iture.
" That to injure any subject fia the exercise of this is
Orreasive.
That we have heard with strong feelings of re:ret, that a
Member of this tismre has been deprived of an office which he
held under the Crown for 2 years, in c..nsequence of his haws
lug exercised that right in his corporate capacity."

The first and second Resolutions passed unani-
mously. On the third a ballot was demanded, when
there appeared, Ayes sd—Noes 19.
When the Resolutions were sent to the Board of
Aldermen for their concurrence, the Board declined
agreeing with the Common Councll-7after which
the Assembly adjourned.
Thursday morning, Mr. French, of Woodlawn,
accompanied by two young ladies (daughters of the
late Sir Lucius O4Brien), and a lady from England,
going to view Lord Charlemont's demesne, in a so-
ciable jaunting car, the horse took fright on Bally-
bough bridge, and attempted to leap the bride, but
being restrained by the driver, who turned his head
with great dexterity the contrary way, he ran against
the opposite battlement with such fury, that he not
only broke the shafts of the car, but the traces also ;
in this violent exertion the driver fell between the
horse and the car. and was so dangerously injured
that his life is despaired of. We are concerned to
state also, that the English lady received in her side
a kick from the horse, which deprived her of her
senses for some time ; fortunately, Mr. Burleigh, of
Great Britain-street. apothecary, happened at the
moment to be passing by, and had both the lady
and servant conveyed to the house of Mr. Darcy, in
that neighbourhood. Here Mr. Burleigh promptly
administered every possible aid, and the lady, who
was 'Sifted with a most violent spasmodic corn.
plaint, was essentially relieved towards evening ;
but the injury received by the servant being more
serious, his situation of course continues very pre-
carious.

We are in great hopes that the loss of the Fly
sloop on the coast of 'Florida bas en rise to the
report of the loss of the F• Priem: Char-
iots, which =nut be to any authentic source.
No amounts whatever of the latter have been re-
ceived at the Admiralty.
