THEATRE ROYAL DUBLIN.

On Thursday night, the New Theatre in Hawkins'. -
street opened, in a style far superior to any expectation •
which even the most sanguine could have entertained.
As a model of classic elegance, the original portico fur- -
nishes a specimen of architecture; little was wanting to -
embellish and complete it ; however, the attention of •
the Patentee has, in the present instance, been devoted •
not only to .the beauty of the structure, but to its per-
mauence, security, and general comfort. It is impos-
sible in this hurried sket.-li io rise an adequate picture of
this elegant, though stil ttitAilisited edifice. raised, as the
address most aptly expresses, like the fabled Palace of •
Aladin' almost without our knowledge.
The llress, or First Circle, presents a richly executed
ornament taken front the Temple of Bacchus--the
mouldings and pillars is burnished gold. •
&con(' Circle displays an elegant design—the Cap of
the Ants, from the Temple of Erecthus and Minerva
Pulius.
Third Circle.—The Grecian knot, with a continuous
link of shatnrocks.
The eleting.-111 the centre, "The Hasp of Erin,"
enveloped in rays of light, with a raised band of sham-
rocks in dead gold and green—coveing represents the
Lyre simply executed.
The Prosceniton.—Stagetloors in the Grecian Order, •
richly 51h.—The Nlanager's box is festooned with crim-
son velvet drapery, relieved with blue—a richly gilt
Apollo's Head in tile centre. Shamrock supponers—the
semi-circle, a lloney.snekle in fretted gold.
Frontispiece.—The King's Arms supported by Cu.
phis, with the ntot•o
" To hold, as 'mere, the Mirror up to Nature.',
The dimensions of the house exceed that of Crow.
street by six feet in depth, and seven in breath—its form
is that of a horse-shoe.

A DANDY PtESERVEII,—On Thur.(lay se'nnight
a young man, of good family in Paris, walked to the
Pont Louis 16th, and threw himsellinto the Seine.
Fortunately an elegant white coat made in the first
style of dandyism supported him upon the water,
until several sailors came to his assistance. They
had the honour to catch the dandy opposite
the Invalidcs at the moment he was sinking. An
unfortunate run of ill luck at the gami►►g table in.
duced him to commit the act of despair.
On Friday evening, the 19th, a fire broke out in
the concerns of Mr. Matthew M'Cabe, John-street,
Dublin, woollen manufacturer, occasioned by the
neglect of some of his spinners. It raged with un-
abated fury until the whole of the unmanufactured
property tell a sacrifice to the devouring element.
Tile lower part of the building was occupied by his
presses, which, notwithstanding their great bulk,
were also cons tl. By this unforeseen calamity,
a most deserving and industrious citizen is, for the
present, deprived of the means of affording employ- •
ment to upwards of two hundred persons, wholly
depending on him for support.
The Magistrates of Essex have determined to
erect si tipaCtullS penitelti.try tir that county, in
which all the prisoners are to be classed, and those
who are able obliged to w0.:6 t*Jr their own support
whilst Unprisoned.

pay attention to the few words he intended to address to
than. He had been induced to sign the requisition for
those reasons;.—lie hoped he would be allowed to say,
that a more honourable set of names was never placed
in a requisition than those which were snoseribed to the
requisition oat which they had asseinlded. When cer-
tain persons roused the milt:nu:mon of the country by
the most atrocious proceedings—e Great tumult; lint a
word of any speech wad heard alter this. The interior-
. S'NOCC of lilt' Lord Mayor was quite ineffectual. Several
penults climbed over the hustings, and groaned and
hissed. The Ultra Loyalists seemed disposed to carry
every thing by storm. They cried out to tile Lord Mayor
to dissolve the meeting. "Nu, no," said Alderman
%Voisd, " We'll not dissolve the Hall, notwithstanding
your ormeeuvres; we'll try ow strength with you ")
The Lodi> MAYOR stood upon the chair, and held the
resolutions in his hand—" Gentlemen," said he, " I see
you are determined to hear no discussion-1 shall put
tote question to you without any fort her ceremony."—
His Lordship then stepped to the front or the hustings,
and poi the previous question, which had been moved
by SO' W. Cutts. Alderman Wood took his 'tattoo at
the front of the hustings, in order to prevent the multi-
tude limn voting erroneously, which they might have
been led to do, in consequence of the tumult.
Ald. rman Waithman took his station on the chair,
and acted in IsnigNi with Alderman Wood, and the pre-
vious trptestion was lost by about 3 to I. The resolutions
were men carried amidst shouts of appl 'use. Tll,lllk,
were then voted to the Lord Mayor wine cheers, and the
MCCtIII6 was dissolved.

UUrII.4aES IN THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK.

lAmerocii, SEPT. e6.--Sunday-Lit, Denis Buckley, Cor-
nelius Crowley, and two women, who were crown witnesses at the
last County Assisea, returning home from this city, were attacked •
at •rtigh, and beat so unmercitidly, that Buckley died on the
full Owing morning. Crowley and the women escaped to New-
castle, where they were also maltreated, and it is stated„
little
hopes are entertained of their recovery. As a means of ensuring
Buckley a safe retreat to his home, lie was sent a circuitous route
by water, and landed ut Voyne's bland, but such was the deter-
mination of the ruffians who projected his destruciton, that no
pass he could go by was left without observation.
On Monday last as
.the mail car was passing through Rath-
keale, Bernard Ai.Clasky, a witness, returning from the assizes
to Newcastle, was finethly dragged from it by a number of men
from the town, and heat and mangled so severely, that his lite
is considered in great danger.
On Saturday last, the Rev. Francis Langford, of eastletown,
in the barony of Palkis K eary, inthis county, sent dolin Conical,
of Ringreoylan, and soineothei men, to draw Middies, agreeably
to notice received from sonic landholders--whilst Corneal sent
his companions for horses and cars, he was most inhumanely •
'muttered, his head being severed from his body. The mast
active measures are pursuing Icy the numerous respectable gen-
tlemen of that neighbourhood, to apprehend the perpetrators,
win, it is said, have absconded.
About eight o'clock, on Sunday evening, the house of Wm.
Mingan, Es+ at the Abbey, mar Shattagolden, was attacked
by a large party of fellows, who broke the drawing room windows,
and hall der, but sonic shots being final by Mi. George Morgan,
they decamped, after tiring five shots. All the male part of the
family, except the young gentleman who acted so resolutely,
were trout home. The object of the niflians was to obtain fire
anus.
Sunday night tin armed party of two hundred, many of them
wearing white bands on theft hats, attacked the village of Shana•
glade') in this county, in search of lire arms. They fir: t went to
the post-oftke, and on being told that the fancily had no ninsket•,
they committal dieadful depredations, such as breaking the fur-
-noun., threatening to murder the inhabitants, &c. They next
roceeded to the bridewell, and broke it open; thence to other
Mouse,, and after demolishing the doors and other windows of
each they attacked, enteral in a most hostile and menacing man-
ic, r, and took what anus they could get. They afterwards pro.
noted to Golden. house, the residence of the Rev. Geo Vincent,
and demanded his fire 30111 s, but on telling them he had not any,
retired, first having attempted to break open the half door with
a sledge. It is to be regretted that the inmates were not able to
meet them with that reception they deserved, not having a single
hostile weapon in the house.

Lonaon markets

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, OCT. S.
There was a large supply of Wheat at market this morning,
having had a number of fresh arrivals since this day week, but
the demand was not very brisk, except for the finest samples of
old Wheat, which fully supported last week's prices; ithe inferior
descriptions were much lower. Barley and Oats are brisk in sale
and fully supported last week's prices. Beans, Peas, ike. are
also full AS dear as last week. '1 he finest samples of all grant
appear to support our last potations, but for the inferior de-
tampions there is scarcely any demand.

avoiding it, would only be to exchange one line for
another ; we should have contiguous territory still.
We are therefore perfectly satisfied with the limits
we have, and hope never to see them transgressed,
unless, by an amicable understanding with our
neighbour, to chastise those whom she cannot con-
trout, or in actual pursuit of the violators of the

SETTLERS AT ALGOA BAT.

Extract of a letter to a lady in the vicinity of
Chelmsli,rd, dated " New Essex, Graham's Town,
on the frontiers of Africa, June 24th, 1821 :—I am
seven hundred miles from the Cape of Good Hope,
and should not receive intelligence of an arrival there
for at least three weeks: but my correspondent at
Cape Town will receive comfortable lodgings, &c.
until a ship sails for Algoa Bay, which is distant
from me 130 miles Few ships from England pro-
ceed further thnn th:, Cape. Good ploughmi•n arc
wanted, and good fu 4-ploughs, with spare wrought
iron shares and coulters, which are very expensive
here; ironwork nothing under Is. per lb. Ran-
some's ploughs sell for 141. each. Ploughmen will
find plenty of employers at from 21. to 31. per month,
and their board. Meat sells at 2d. per lb. ; wheat
12s. a bushel; and barley 6s. Other articles of
housekeeping are about the same price as in En-
gland ; but, on the other hand, we are in one of
the healthiest climates in the world, and free from
rent, tithes, and taxes of every description. Any
one may live here as well with 5001. as in his native
land with 5,0001. The farming work is all done
with oxen, which are very fine, and bought at 31.
each ; cows are 30s. ; and sheep 6i. a-head, (hav-
ing tails that weigh 81b.—a complete lump of hit):
clothes, linen, and all English goods, very dear
Good mechanics, of any tkscription, have very high
wages. A cargo of ladies would mule a good spe-
culation in proceeding to the new settlement : for
all that come out with the settlers have gotten hus-
bands."

BANK OF SNGLAND.

A great reduction is about to take place almost
immediately in the establishment of the Bank of
England. The number of clerks to be discharged
is stated ut 125, of which 40 are from the Hall side
or Cashier's office, and the remainder from the va.
rions accountant offices fin- the difliment classifica-
tions of stock, with the one and two pound Bank-
note office. In the latter, which employed between
200 and 300 clerks, the return to payments in spe-
cie must have led to the expectation of a very ma-
terial reduction : but the number discharged under
the present arrangement is only twenty-four. It
was not at all known befi're Tuesday last, we be-
lieve, that the change was ciintemplated by the
Governors of the Bank, and the measure, therefore,
being one that involves the welfare or subsistence of
so many families, appears a little abrupt. But in
the mode of carrying it into effect, the Bank have
acted with a degree of liberality which merits
praise. All the clerks now dismissed will receive an
annuity fOr life, in proportion to the amount of pay
and length of service, a selection been made, as far
as the interests of the concern rendered it pru-
dent to do so from those who are the soonest likely
from long services to claim the right of supenuinu-
ation. But every clerk discharged will, we under-
stand, be allowed the option, if lie prefers it, of
receiving a suns of money equivalent to the value of
I his annuity. Thus to those who are still young and
have a talent for business, an opportunity will be
affinded, by a supply of capital, of engaging in
trade, and of working out their oiNn independence.
The number of clerks employed at the Bank is above
I,ooo—the number discharged, therefore, is about
one-eighth part of the whole. By the measure a
saving will accrue to the Bank when the respective
annuities fall in, of about 20,0001. per annum.—
We understand that the cause assigned by the Di-
rectors for this step, in the notice to those clerks
whose services ate to cease, is a general filling off
in the business of the establishment.

When King William was pressed by his Ministers
to discharge Sir G. Rtak, on account of his conti-
nued opposition to their measures both in and out of
Parliament, his Majesty wisely asked if they had
any thing to object against him as an Admiral f—
but being dunth oil that head, he told them he
would never disclairge a brave and meritorious offi-
cer for his conduct us a Member of Parliament.
which was quite a different duty, and ought to be
executed according to every man's conscience, with-
out the imputation of being disaffected.—lt would
have been honourable to those, in whose hands
the right of dismisiing an officer is vested at pre.i.it,
had the same course been pursued in the case of Sir
Robert Wilson.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived.—
The subjoined are extracts
PARIS, SEPT. 26.—A letter from the frontiers
of Spain says, " The Young Princess of Saxe, Con-
sort of Ferdinand VIJ. who unites to personal charms
the most amiable qualities of the heart, is grievously
afflicted by the tempests which surround the throne
which she shares. Since her retirement to St. Ilde-
fonso, she has been frequently found by her female
attendants bathed in tears; and it ,is impossible to
divert her mind from ruminating oa the dangers and
difficulties with which the Royal Family is envi-
roned.
In consequence of the alarming intelligence from
Barcelona, the vigilance on the frontier which sepa-
rates France from Spain is redoubled. At Perpignan
several successive arrests by the Prefect have deter-
mined the measures which arc to be must vigorously
observed by individuals and the local authorities.—
The importation of every species of merchandize from
the Peninsula is prohibited, and the severest punish-
ment is denounced against those who give themselves
up to smuggling. Every infraction of the injunc-
tions will subject the ()Milder to an immediate pro-
secution. Among the regulations adopted, we select
the following:—
" The communications from, as well as into the
kingdom, can in future only take place by the Per-
dins, where a lazaretto of observation will be esta-
blished fur the performance of quarantine, to which
the persons entering France shall be subject. Tem.
'wary hospitals in the nature of lazarettos, will also
be established at Banyals, St. Laurent-Cerdans, and
at Bany-sur-Nler, for lodging the individuals sus-
pected of coining from Spain, and who shall be found
on this side of the line of demarkation. After sub-
mitting to the tests prescribed by the physicians,
these persons are to be sent to the prisons of Per-
pignan to be proceeded against. The 6th article
maintains the intercourse with Spanish Credagne
only, by conforming to certain formalities enjoined
by a subsequent order.

Mr. Andrews, on behalf of the prisoner, ernes-exaniin.
ed these witnesses, and in so dolor elicited from them the
most unemsisocal roofs of their not being a shadow of
pretence for the proseention. They grossly prevaricated
in every part of the evidence now given, with that which
they stated before the magistrate. Several persons of the
greatest respectability, gave the prisoner a most irre-
proachable character, and the Jury instantly acquitted
him. _ .

The Learned Judge (Arrabin) ordered the boy, Kelly,
to be ',lncest in the box, and after commenting at
length on the enormity of the offence he had committed,
ordered him into custody; at the Fame time assuring bins
that he would he prosecuted, at the expellee of the county,

her fur contempt. She was instantly taken into custody,
and conveyed to blesvgarc by the of of the Court.

THE NATIONAL REGISTEI

DUELS IN FR4NCE.
An important question relating to duels was tried on
the 23r1 inst. before the Court of C ssalion. The deci-
sion was, that homicide in single errnibat, according to
rules fairly observed, is not cogniz.rb!e tinder the penal
code. Art racer on half-pay, and an inspector of contri-
butions, the first named Prime, an the other Dania tic,
fought a duel with pistols, at the short distance of six
feet. The Sieur Datualic tell in the conflict.
The survivor was tried before the Cour Roya'e of
Pall. which saw the affair in nu other shape than that
of a common duel, and set the accused at Itheriy. Upon
a re-hearing, at the suit of the Procureur General, the
Court of Causation annulled the decision, arid sent the
case before the Royal Court of LemoAes, which decided
that the duel had all the character of a murder.—The
accused was then indicted before the Court of Assizes.
The Procureur General of Lentos/es contended that it
was nut murder, and the Supreme Court was finally
occupied with the affair on the 23,1.
After hearing the arguments of counsel, the Court
pronounced judgment iti these terms :—" We under-
stand by the proceedings that a combat, at the distance
of six feet, took place between the parties, and that
the distance was such that death was inevitable for
one or the other. After drawing lots for the first fire,
and that question had heen decided, the seconds made
representations to the combatants to ins uce them to ex-
tend the distance. Prince particularly refused, and
insisted that the combat should take place, at the
distance of six feet. That circumstance, it is said, took
the affair front the class of common duels, but we are not
able to find any law which renders the accused liable
to be tried before the Court of Assizes. The Conn
therefore rejects the prosecution of the Procureur
General."

THE ELECTIOAT OF LOUD M.4roa.

Saturday the election of Lord Mayor came on
pursuant to annual custom !Jaime the. Corporation ;
when Aldermen Magnay and Waldman were re-
turned by a show of hands. The Aldermen retired,
and in a few minutes returned, declaring the elec-
tion had fallen upon Alderman Magnay. No poll
was demanded by the other party.

Extract of a letter from Malta, dated Aug. 20:—
" We are happy to learn that although the Malta
memorial has not yet been allowed to take its in-
tended course, it has nevertheless been the means of
attracting the attentions of Government to this lung
neglected part of his Majesty's dominions. It seems
that the baneful effects of the odious corn monopoly
were too striking to escape the early notice of minis-
ters at home, and the knowledge of their having
already given Sir Thomas Maitland direction for its
abolition (Ulises general satisfaction here. We sin-
cerely hope that no measures will be resorted to by
the local authority that can retard or counteract the
benefits likely to result from immediately opening
the corn trade, and that we shall not be disappointed
in the just expectation of further advantages, now
that the miserable state of this island has come under
the serious consideration of Government. We there-
fore anticipate much amendment in our neglected
and expiring commerce, and trust that we may, after
the expected changes take place, renew our udvices
by every packet, without incurring the reproaches
you have for the last few years made us, of subject-
ing you to useless expense of postage "

Charles Incledon has now finally retired from the
stage. He is livigg at Brighton, in comihrt and
respectability, upon the fruits of what he has re-
alized, and his wife's income. The lOrincr is not a
great deal ; for Incledon was always open-handed
and liberal ; aNI, besides, with a degree of gene-
rosity which we think unique, he always gave up
all he had made to the chikiren of the late marri'tge,
whenever he contracted a new one. He has been
married three times. By his nwnt is extin-

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 18.—The Duke de Chatre, first
Gentleman of the King's Chamber, left Paris yes-
terday (Monday last) for Calcii. at which port his
Britannic Majesty is expected shortly to arrive.—
The Duke is honoured by his Sovereign with a mis-
sion to welcome the King of Great Britain at the
m nnent of his landing on the soil of France.
It appears certain that the King of England will
quit Calais instantly on landing, for Brussels, and
►hat it is only on his retain from Hanover that this
Monarch will visit Palk.

M. Philip Green, the English Consul, who has
been compelled to quit Patras, is now at Marseilles.
" We have rectived an extraordinary Supplement
to the tiniversal of the 6th inst. which contains his
Catholic Majesty's answers to the permanent Depu-
tation of the •Contes, and to the representation
addressed to hint by the Municipality of Madrid.'

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, SEPT. Q 4.
We had this morning an abundant supply of Wheat front the
coasts of Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, but the demand nut being
very brisk, the finest samples submitted to a reduction of full es.
per qr., and the inferior descriptions a further reduction. Barley
maintains last week's prices. Oats arc full Is. per qr. cheaper,
basing a large supply; and the market, generally speaking,
seeing to be rather lower than last week. The reduction In.
Wheat since this day week may be quoted front Bs. to 10i. per
qr. but Flour is not to-day any cheaper. There appears to be
yet no disposition on the part of the speculators to give way any
more than can be possibly avoided, nor of the consumers to pur-
chase, at the present prices, more than what is absolutely neces-
sary for present use, consequently the market is kept very fiat.

asked the mister which of the boys was best ac-
quainted with the Constitution ? The toaster made
no difficulty in pointing him out, on which the man
praising his application, asked permission to take
him to a confectioner's to treat him with some cakes.

PATENT PitoVISIONS.—The various applications
of science to matters of common comfort and utility,
are undoubtedly among the characteristic and most
valuable features of the age. Steam, that " 'wide
drudge," as it has been called, is now turned into
almost a new element; it has become one of the
prime movers of the mechanical world ; it already
makes almost every thing, from a pin to u ship; it
digs our ntims, tabs our fields, and t!.resties oar
corn ; it hrt.- tvs and bakes tir us; it is our tailor and
our shoemaker; it prints our newspapers, and it
dress :•s our dinners. All this is very extraordinary
—and to a man who a hundred, ur even fifty years
ago, saw our clumsy and circuitous efforts to lawn'.
'polish the thousand things that we nus leave to the
mercy of cylinders and pistons, would have been
incredible. But it is nevertheless the fact—and the
use of which we are about to speak is, if nut the
most curious, perhaps among the most valuable of
the wonders of this mighty magician, generated of
the discordant families of fire and water.

whose premises are the Bell and Crown, Holborn, is
proprietor of the Poole mail, and has shares in several
other coaches—the booking office at the Bell and Crown
being exclusively his own ; and the package in question
was addressed, as many others Inr the same conveyance
haul been before it. The p ireel was booked, on the
Ist of December, at the Bell and Crown ; it was di-
rected " per wail ;" parcels of a similar description had
been sem monthly fur seine time, and had gone by the
Pt'oi mail. It 13.ppetted, however, that besides the
Poole mail, there was a vehicle called " the Southamp-
ton light coach," which started from the Bell and Crown
at half.past tour in the afternoon, and which travelled
in the way of Christchurch; and by that coach, fronts
whatever cause, the defendant thought fit to send the
parcel directed to the plaintiffs. The parcel was lost—
ma the next day, the 2d of December notes to the
amount of 1,0501. were paid by Messrs. Rogers and
Towgood ; the fraud was not discovered until the even-
ing of that day ; even then it was impossible to prevent
the circulation of the remaining unpaid notes ; and the
plaintiffs now, in bringiog the action for 1,361. con
tended that the carrier, having undertaken to carry by
the mail, was guilty of breach of contract when he sent
the property by any other and less secure conveyance.
The Lord Chief-Justice told the jury that, unless
they thought that the plaintiffs had been put to addi-
tional hazard by the change of each, the defendant
would be entitled to a verdict. If they thought the risk
had been increased by that measure, they would find a
verdict for the plaintith.
The Jury after a few minutes consideration, found for
the plaintiffs--Damages 1,0501. the amount of the notes
which were proved to have come in.

There was a most excellent Sermon preached by the
Reverend R. Lynam, NI. A. and which had a most im-
pressive effect on the congregation, which were numer-
ous and respectable. Se. rice being ended, the Lord
Mayor, Governors, &C. repaired to the Great Hall in
Christ's Hospital, which was crowded with ladies and
gentlemen to hear Orations. The first, in Latin,
was delivered by Master Joshua Welsh, the senior
scholar, who, although or'y lerstood by the um.e
learned part of the auditory, failed not to make a deep
impression upon 1"s heirers, by his manly delive.y.—
The English Orat'on was spoken by Naaster Joseph
Yakes Cookson, the second scholar, which Irons bent;
understood, spoke more loudly to the feelings of all pr.
sent.

After the orations were concluded, the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, and the whole of the company, rewarded the
young orators by oecuniary marks o, the', approbation.
Alter which the isenlles of all the hospitals appeared,
td laid down their staves, and asked the Ci,y Plarshal
it he knew of any complaint against them/ and being
answered iii the negative, they were severally called over
to take possession of their staves again. his Lordship
and the company were enterlined with cake and wine,
and afterwards broke wt. The Governors and Treasu-
rers of Bridewell, Ikth ern, and St.Thinr.as's, went to
their respective llospitlls, where dinners were provided
for Mein.

in Gloucester, by bring flogvil :4 a cart's tail through
the principal sweets of that city fur the crime of child-
stealing, to an extent probably that newer before was
practised in this country, hiving stolen no less than five
children, three of them of one fancily; the oldest of
them was only four years. All incalculable concourse
of people were collected to see the punishment inflicted.
The women were particularly outrageous in their exe-
crations against him; they called out to the cxecutiolier
that he did not flog him sollicir mly severe, and at the
conclusion of the flags elation, and on his being untied
from the cart, it was with great difficulty he was kept
from the women executing their veugeance upon him on

CORFU, JUNE • 28.—A ship from Cephalonia,
equipped as a pirate, has molested some lonian ves-
sels; the English Government immediately fitted
out a brig, which has taken the pirate, and brought
it into Zante. The captain and 44 of his accom-
plices have been tried and sentenced to death.
The Idriul and Ipariot ships have appeared in the
Gulf of Lepanto, where four Turkish ships of war
lie at anchor. It is expected they will soon come
out with this rich booty to pursue the rest of the
Turkish fleet, which bus token refuge at Poumenitx.
COPENHAGEN, JUNE 26.—We hear from the Bal-
tic that the Russian fleet, which has been equipped
with so much haste, has sailed fir the Mediterranean.

HAMBURGII, JUL, 10.—According to accounts,
received in the ordinary course from St. Petersburgb,
a squadron, consisting of some ships of the line and
frigates, was to sail from Cronstadt in a few days,
under the command of Admiral Crown, to cruize
during the summer in the Baltic. It seems that this
squadrcn is this year rather stronger than usual.

Application has been made on behalf of our city
to the German Diet, complaining of the erection of
new works on the Elbe near Altona, which, it is
feared, may cause the sand to accumulate and fill
our harbour. Our merchants still complain of the
continued stagnation of commerce.
The Norwegian Counsellor of State has asked
leave to resign. His Majesty has ordered the Chan.
eery to propose to him a man of ability who may be
accredited to the Pontifical Government, in the qua.
lity of agent to the Fine Arts • and to be of service
to :he Swedish artists during their abode at Rome.
The Crown Prince set out on the 21st ; he is ac-
companied by the Counsellor of State Count Skiel-
debrund, and by several persons of his Court. His
Royal Highness will stop some days at Selby, and
then proceed to Seania. When the camp in that
province breaks up, his Royal Highness will receive
his father at Christiania. His Majesty will set out
in the beginning of July.

MIDDLESEX MISSIONS.

The C,otirt was occupied the whole of Friday in trying
petty a Its, scarcely soy of which possessed the
slightest interest.
• Mrs. Subbings was indicted for assaulting Mrs. Ford.—
The parties lived next door to each other on the Ctn
mercial•road, and Mrs. Stubbings kept a monkey, which
was in the practice of going into Mrs. Fold's house, and
frightening herself and her children. On occasion of tile
last visit the monkey paid Mrs. Ford, she accused Mrs.
Stubbings, in rather severe terms, fur keeping such a
nasty creature. Mrs. Subbings resented the insult offered
to her favourite by thrusting his posteriors into Mrs. F's
face, whictil was the assault complained of.
Mrs. Si nbbings was found Gnilty, and sentenced to pay
a tine of a shilling; and admonished to make her tuuukty
be wore domestic for the future.
