_ ASSEMILitI
After OiiYerS, and some routine business had heed
disposed of, Mr. GLISi,ARD., rose to propose .tertaiti
Resolutions relativ6 to Sir John Newport's Ele6tiott
Bill. After travelling over all the_ for Mer est)iindi
of argument against this Bill, he particularly in=
siSted on that clause which made it mandatory Ott
the Common-Council to admit any person duly qua-
lified, claiming the Freedom of the City of Dublin),
in one kalender month after the pWertice of such a
claim. Mr. GIFFARD concluded by mooing two,
Resolutions, the first expressive of the opinion of
the Assembly, that the rights and charter: of the
Corporations should be preserved inviolate; and dig
second, intimating that Sir John Newport's Nil
would be an infringement on -those- rights and `pri-;
vilekes:

The Recorder statedthe ,Substance of the till;
Saiet;4•AS put into his handS by one of the
Members for Dublin. He contended, nearly on the
same gropds assumed by ,Mr. Gi PTA RDI that if
were passel,,itito alaw, it would prove highly preju-
dicial to the interests' of that loyal and respectable
Corporation.; and, -indeed, -so convinced was-every
Irish Member, connected with Corpr.)ration, of its
evil tendency, in opening -the. door ot• their freedom
inicliseriminatelY, that it received the most rigorous.
resistance. For these, and aVarieiy of other reasons,.
the Learned Gentlemen supported the liesolutiotAs.
Mr. HUTTON said, he had no objeCtion to the
118 solutions, yet .be contended that Sir John New.;
port's Bill, whom Mr. H. very justly characteriied
as one of the best friends of his country, a man who,
since he_came.into office, •conferred more sterling
service on'lreland than she received in a long period-
.before,
.was to-enlarge, the franchises of the subjea,.
and to. render Corporations something more respeat'.
able than close Itoroughs.

After a few wordsirom -Messrs. KING, STEEVEN.ii
anti -KENNY, the Resolutions were put
mlc.l.cal-ried. • .

COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

On- Thursday. came on before this Court the trial
of
.Rotert .I:o4netone; for brealdng into the shop of
MeSsrs. l*ksonsianii Co. and stealing. thdrefroM
about, 351. in hank-notes, and a_ quantity of half-
pence, &C. The manner of his detealien
cu-
rious : he ,had circled home' the -ilotes, but had
hid the halfpence in-a ditch near the Calton-hill,
and left a pocket-*ok he had also taken alittle
way off.- 'A person finding the pocket-book, traced
the person's footsteps rout the grotind, Whicli was
covered. with dew,
.to the
.place where the half.:
pence were concealed.. 'Some men' were sent: nee::night to watch the *Cf., suspeding he
turn for the- half-pence. "Their patience was nearly
exhausted, and they were going away, when they
saw him come early in the morning 'to the place, and
.seized him.

Upon, being carried to the Guard=house, the Pri..
'soner confessed the robbery, and told where he had
left the notes, at his lodgings,, whicLi were found
accordingly. The Jury unanimously found him
Guilty—but recommended him to mercy-, on ac,.
count of his former good conduel, and his candid
confession of the crime. The Lord Justice-Clerk,
after a very impressive address to the prisoner, pro-
nounced the sentence of the Court, which was, that
the prisoner be executed at Edinburgh oti the 27th
of .August.

DUEL.--,XWO persons; one of them apparently an
Officer, met to fight early yesterday morning,
in the fields between Child's Hill and Kilburne. A
distance of about 20 fCaces was measured, and one
of the parties fired without effe6t. His adversary.
discharged his pistol in the air, and the whole gat
off towards town in two post-chaises,, without hav-
ing done any mischief. It.was not known who they
were. . •

The; new King of Holland it seems is so much
indisposed that, he. has been obliged already to re:-
Moye from his, se„at,,,pf, Government to the baths
of Wisbaden, Germ:any, The probability is, that
the ':indisposition is-endemidal in Holland. The
King is.sick of . the mil:jai and the' suljeCis o,f the

Dr. WAttn.-4p.01d woman haling Constilted.the
Dcietor, he' presCribed for her : in a few days she'
waited on him again, and in a piteous tone told him;
that his prescription had no effedt. They•DoiStor
looked at her, and after a pause, said, ". You should
drink a- glass - of gin ?"—" So I do, Sir."" You.
should drink second."—" So I. do, Sir,. and a third
and a fourth."—": Why, you. old Beldam," cried
the-DoElor in a passion-, bow cap you e:spet that
. any. inedicine .should do any good, when. you take so
much pains to counteract it ?". • -

TRANSPLANTING.-- The folloWillg circumstance is
not less true than curious :—Fourteen years a',,o
Christopher Jackson, ,who is liokN' in His iMajestyls
Life Gnards,.shot a stock7dove in the neighbourhood
of Dean, near Wbitehaven. Q/1 preparing the bird
for the table tan:acorri- was -found • 'crop.
As a matter, of ,curiosity, thee acorn was pial,ted
in the ...ground: belonging to: the family in
the young sportsman was' then a ,servan.. It is:nowr
a fine thriving :oak-tree] Upwards of 7 feet high. We
react, in the varipus qgriculti-pal and hort!eultntal
reports, numerous instances of the advantages of ju-
dicious transplantitio- but we have met wi! hno in-
stance of so extrao;dinary a nature, s rl:'s :f trap's-.
planting the germ of a tree. from the .stoLla:h of a,
bird.
