MARLBOROUGH STREET.
RlOTl.—Friday, William Mackenzie, Thomas Rabb,
Julio M'Adattis, John Walling, John Clayton, Trau-
mas Chandler, and Edward Sidney Augard (some of
them very decent young melt), were Moneitt up by
Plank, Wales, Jetteries, Valentine, and other officers,
charged with riot, and making a desperate attack upon
the home of Lord Sidmooth, on Thursday night last.
The facts are briefly these :—On Thursday night last an
extensive mob of persons left South Audiey Street,. and
on their road down Hill Street broke the windows of
the inhabitants, and, crying '• lights," made a great riot.
On • arriving in Berkeley Square, they demolished the
whole of the windows on the west side. lu Clifford
street, they stopped opposite Lord Sitlinouth's residence,
where a party had been entertained. Tney assailed toe
house with stones, mud, and other missiles, and com-
pletely demolished the whole of the windows. The
imitates were naturally alarmed for their safety; and
Lord Exmouth, who was one of the party, made his
appearance, and addressed the mob, requesting them,
as reasonable men, to desist from their violent proceed-
ings, and retire to their habitations. They abused his
Lordship, especially Mackenzie, who was resolutely
taken by Plank and Wales, the officers. The violence
of the mob not being abated, but increased, Lord Ex
mouth intimated that he and the other gentlemen were
armed, and that farther outrage must necessarily urge
them to use their arms. His Lordship was hooted;
when he, with the rest of the party, sallied forth on the
mob, and they were ultimately overpowered and dis
persed. Adams, w bile his Lordship was pursuing some
fellows, was exciting the mob to violence against him,
and he was taken by Valentine. A similar attack was
made at the Marquis of Hertford's, Manchester-square.
In Portman-square the conduct of the mob was so infs.
mous, that the officers using their cutlaises, some of the
rioters were desperately wounded.
The officers proved the above circumstances, and
were corroborated by Captain Wilson, of the 20th Light •
Dragoons. They were all ordered to had bail.
Time Magistrates held a comerence, and, in order to I
pursue necessary steps for the preservation of the public
peace and the property of indiiiduals, Messrs. Lee and
Smart, the high constables, were sent for, and received
instructions to have extra parish officers, 12 from each
parish, one of whom should be stationed at the above
office, for the purpose of conveying necessary intelligence
to the police, if the outrages were repeated.

DEATH OF MR. GRATTAN.

to record the death of the

qty
Right Hon. Henry Grattan. This melancholy
event took place at a late hour on Sunday night, at
his house in Baker-street. It has been for some
time expected with mournful anxiety by his family,
the whole of whom watched, with•the tenderest
solicitude, the death-bed of this distinguished cha-
racter. For the last five months Mr. Grattan la•
boured under a severe dropsical affection in the
chest, which, though attended with acute pain, he
bore with the utmost resignation. The disorder
bad attained so oppressive a height that Mr. Grat-
tan for the last three months was obliged to seek
rest in a sitting posture ; any attempt to sleep in
any other manner brought on an asthmatic affection
which immediately threatened fatal consequences.—
Mr. Grattan, anticipating the fatal result of his dis•
order, adopted, contrary to the advice of his friends,
the determination of making one more effort on be-
half of the civil and religious liberties of his country.
To use his own emphatic words, in reply to the
Address of the Catholics of Ireland, presented to
him in Dublin not many days ago, he owed " Lie
last breath to his country," and with unerring► huts
has that melancholy augury been fulfilled. On
Monday night it was the intention of Mr. Grattan
to have made the effort to take his sett in the House
of Commons, and to close his eminent career of public
services, by laying on the table of the House of
Commons a series of Resolutions declaratory of those
principles of civil and religious liberty which he
thought became the high mural station of Great
Britain, and the eulightened•character of the age in
which we live.

Mr. Jame.; having curried his Election for Carlisle
by a majority of 86, is a convincing proof of the
increasing strength of the independent interest in
that City. The chairing of the Hon. Member was
witnes.sed by an immense multitude, by whom he
was hailed with acclamation.

Some unexpected difficulties have, it seems, arisen
respecting the occupation of the Dublin Theatre by
Mr. Harris; in consequence of wnien NIL Saul has
left London, as the agent of that Gmtleman, to fit_
up the old Post Office, which he intends opening
under his patent instead of the old house, if any
further delay is made to the acceptance of the terms
he has r‘ropused. _ _

The new Bank notes, it is understood, will be
ready to be issued in time to pay the dividends in
Ottuber next.

Duel between Mr. Grattan and Lord Clare.—The
following statement is from authority Mr. Grat-
tan having, at a public meeting in Dublin,. made
use of expressions which Lora Clare conceived to
reflect upon the late Lord Clare, his father, and
having declined either to explain or qualify them,
the parties met on Tuesday morning, when Mr.
Grattan, having received Lord Clare's fire, instantly
fired in the air. The friends present having given
their opinion that. the affair could proceed no fur-
ther, Mr Grattan came turward in the. handsomest
manner, and stated, that having now met Lord Clare
in the field, and having given the satisfaction re-
quired, he was then willing to admit ne was wrong
in having made of such expressions, on which the
parties immediately shook heads, and the affair ter.
minuted."
