DUBLIN, hlarterr 2.—Mr. Serjeant Lefroy, I under'
stand from good authority, has thrown up his presidenci
in a pet. Your readers are to understand that there see
only three serjeants in Ireland, and that the practice of thee,
high officers is by no means aseimilatod to the duties 4'
charged by the eentletneu of the eoif in the Court of 0 111:,
mon Pleas at Westminster Hall. Here they practise in Pi
the Courts, but particularly before the Lord Chancellor...."
Mr. Serjeant Lefroy scarcely ever went out of Chancel,
The principal practice of Mr. Serjeant Blackburne is CO'
fined to the same court. Mr. Serjeant Goold, being an Cl'
cellent common-law lawyer, has an extensive practice
in the Court of King's Bench ; and, indeed, in
other courts, which in Dublin are nut so restricted vi't
regard to business as sonic of yours are. In Ireland
the seijeante are considered, next to the Attornel
and Solicitor-General, the most important law ar
pointments at the Irish bar. The puisne Judges se!
almost constantly selected from their number. It le,.
considered a slight to pass them over, and, in point
fact, I believe the selection to fill vacancies is alwaY,ll
confined to the chosen three. Mr. Serjeant Lefroy, °
is understood, refused, more than once, the offer of a sell
on the bench. Latterly, however, he is understood to
have got over his scruples, and he has been sent severs',
times as going Judge of Assize in place of one of the Judge"
or of the Attorney or Solicitor-General. He was a condi'
late for the latter office on the elevation of Mr. Joy toth°
Attorney-Generalship, and had the patronage of Loo
Manners ; but the interest of Mr. Doherty was too posy
erful, and he was obliged to fall back. Had he not reo;
tiered himself obnoxious by his no•Popery polities, it °I
the opinion of several that be would have succeeded. .41
a Judge, Mr. Serjeant Lefroy was obnoxious to several'
upon what grounds it is needless to state. On the pre-o°l
occasion he was passed over by the Crown, and Mr. Se'
jeant Blackbarne chosen to go circuit in the place of BaroS
APCleland, who is still indisposed. Hine illce lachrynoe'
Mr. Lefroy remonstratesi—angrily, it is said—witis the
Government, but tise Duke of Northumberland was 1(1.
exorable, and the resignation followed.
This is an event of some importance in our circle, add
is a subject, I must say, of great pleasure to the Liberal,
Mr. Serjeant Lefroy was the Brunswick candidate in
College, having been put forward by the Visitor, the
Most Rev. Dr. Magee, and supported first against Plan'
kett, and then against North, by all the Orange power
of our University. He still persists in his pretension('
and the Orangemen even talk of putting up his son, who
has only just attained his majority, for the representation
of the city of Dublin.

Mr. Wallace, it is said, will be the new Serjeant ; s
better selection could not be made, nor one likely to gill
more satisfaction to the public or the Bar.

A meeting of the Noblemen, Freeholders
Commissioners of Supply, and Justices of the Peace, i
the county of Dumbarton, was held on Monday, to con
eider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature to WO
into serious consideration the distressed state of the country'
and to adopt such means as should most etßeiently relied
it. Sir JAMES COLQUIIOUN, of Luse, Bart., Convener;
was in the Chair. A series of resolutions were propose*
and after a very lengthened and somewhat deoultory:convec
nation upon the questions whether distress of any kin
existed, and whether one county was at all interested
the general prosperity and depression of another, it WO
carried, by a majority of fifteen to seven, that distress Pe
vaded the country, and that the Meeting should petitiot'
Parliament for adequate relief. An amendment, whirl
was proposed to the Meeting by Mr. Smottnrr, praying #1
such a reduction in taxation as would consist with the dOI
performance of the public service, and without a violatiOl
of existing engagements, was then put and agreed to, four
teen voting for, and nine against it.—Thanks were mo
to Sir J. COLQUEOUN for his conduct in the Chair, at
the Meeting broke up at fire o'clock.
JOHN WEBSTER'S PLAYS, &c.'—The
print of the Plays and Poems of this noble old EngliO,
Poet, which has just appeared under the editorial care
rig'
of the Rev. A. arca, is a very valuable addition to it
dramatic literature of this country. Among our old play
writers there is not one, not even SuArrsirsa,an himsel!
who possesses greater or more masculine powers, or will
takes a more vigorous hold of the imagination : he has al
Mammies strength, with tione of his more coarse sr
vulgar violence. His best pieces are undoubtedly the se
torious tragedies of Vittoria Corombona, and The Duchil
of Malfi ; and the two most excellent and laughable COi
medics of manners, Northward Ho I and West ward It
In the two last he had an able coadjutor in Dzurea.
his prefatory matter matter Mr. DYCX has given all that'
known regarding his author, and has clearly proved that
was not the writer of the Academiarum Examen (whi
was given to him by the Puritans), but that it was writte'
by a very different matt—Joun Wansura, of Clithere
Mr. DYCX seems to have taken it for granted that Mr..l"
P. Cowie, in his Poetical Decameron, meant to mairi
tain that Joins Wzasxea, the dramatist, was the audit
of the Examen; but in fact Mr. CoLuza does little !di
than mention that it had been imputed to him, without
all asserting the correctness of the imputation. As, hol_,
ever, Mr. DYCX was resolved to have a contest, he crestr
for himself an adversary. The four volumes of Witasf%!,
range precisely with Mr. DTCX'S edition of PEXI'
Works, one of the most accurate books in English.
INVERNESS, FEB. 24.—0 n Saturday even'
ing Mr. SMITH, Supervisor of Excise, Beady, was poi:.
seeding home, from a survey at Fort Augustus, and,
save a distance of 16 miles, he took the hill-road fro',
Drumnadrochit to Beauty. The road was conipletell
blocked up, and indiscernible amidst the waste of snoso
and in this dilemma Mr. S. thought it best to let his hoe/
choose for itself. The animal made way, though slowl,
till coming to a gully or ravine, near Glenconvent, he
horse and rider suddenly disappeared in a snow wreath, or
veral fathoms deep. Mr. S., on recovering, found Olt;
self nearly three yards from the dangerous spot, with b
faithful horse standing over him, and licking the snoo
from Lis face. He thinks the bridle must have been $
tached to his person. So completely, however, had hell,
all sense of consciousness, that beyond the bare fact,
stated, he had no knowledge of the means by which bf
made so striking and providential an escape.—lnveroe
Courier.
DUBLIN, FEB. 28.—A young woman,grad#
niece to Lord KILWARDEN (who was slaughtered so ino;
manly in one of Our streets at the time of the Rebellk)
in 1803), fell a victim to the affects of arsenic, which oil
took in despair from a disappointment in love. Her $8,,1/I,li
was ELIZABETH ANNE Worsts, a most interesting ,/
beautiful-looking girl, about twenty three years old. Phi
father held a very lucrative situation in Dublin Castle, 'l#
contrived to lose it by some means or other, and he has si°j
been reduced to the necessity of working at a Inechani;i
trade, to which he never was reared, in order to supPA
himself and his family. The daughters lived with r:ja
aunt, who keeps several extensive fancy warehoused es
different parts of the city. It appeared on the incluf
that the girl took the disappointment in love to heart If; mir
much. The day for the marriage was agreed en, I.)°
came to her aunt's ears that the Romeo was a Cat",..°,
and, being one of the High Church, she would not CO3-01
sent to the match. On Thursday last she drank the at
dose, about ten in the morning, and was dead about foli
in the afternoon. She wrote three letters, which µ'e,
found after her death, but destroyed by one other sisters'
they were directed, one to her aunt, saying she was t'",
cause of her death for putting an end to her hopes ;---°/'/
to her step-mother, declaring that her days were few, 41',
leaving some of her little effects to her ; and the
was to her sister, to the same effect. The contents of t'.)

stomach, on being analyzed, clearly proved that poo
l.ad been taken ; for, on being sublimated, the arse'
was found in a metallic state. The Jury found a 141
diet to that effect, and that she lai4oured under insanity
the time.
