that a deputation should be sent from Clare, to wait on her
Majesty in London, with an address congratulating her on
her ausnie:otts dttes!ion to the Throne, expressing confidence
in her Ministry, and gratitude for the truly royal sentiments
expressed in Lord John Russell's letter to Lord Mulgrave.
On 1..0td Nlnigrave himself, Mr. Steele passed a concise
hut noble eulogy. •
The-gentlemen named by the speaker iteit—thg high
SherifT; the two County Members ► the Member for the
Borough of Ennis t the Protestant and Catholic Bishops
the Meister of the Rolls, a Clare man ; the Attorney-Ge-
neral, a Clare man•; Baron Richards, connected with Clare
by marriage with ti Clare lady, and by property ; William
Smith O'Brien, M.P., a Clare man ; William Roche. and
David Roche, the Members for Limerick, but haying
estates in Clare ; John O'Brien; of Elmvale, late High
Sheriff of the county, the first Catholic High Sheriff made
in Ireland under the Relief Bill ; ant the Gentleman who
had the honour of presiding at the dinner given to, Lord
Mulgrave in Limerick. Mr. Steele stated that he had in
Dublin asked O'Connell, the admitted Representative of
Ireland, but peculiarly identified with Clare, by the Clare
elections of 1828 and 1829, if he would. permit him to
propose him as a member of the deputation, and that he
Instantly assented. This announcement was received in the
Court-house with peals of acclamation and huzzaing.
The High Sheriff, a Catholic gentleman of the county,
the County and Borough Members; and Mr. O'Brien, of
Elmvale, instantly promised to go to London ;. and the
High Sheriff has written to their Lordships the two Bishops,
and the other gentlemen, to request their attendance.
• Another proposition of Mr. Steels's was carried, amidst
renewed shouts of " God save Queen Victoria,"—That the
High Sheriff of the County Clare should present her Ma-
jesty with a crown of roses, enwreathed with shamrocks and
thistles, as an emblem of the union to. be created in the em-
pire by her reign.

The whole of the new oratorio of St. Paul is to be
performed by the Sacred Harmonic Society in Exeter Hall,
on the 12th of September, for the second time in London,
The performance will be conducted by the composer, F.
Mendelsohn Bartholdy, who will arrive in town from Ger-
many previous to that time.
His• Majesty the King of Wuttemhurg, accompanied
by Count Mendelsloh, will leave town in a few days for a
tour throughout the manufncttiring districts.
John Reeve is going on as favourably as his friends
can wish, and if no relapse take place he may be pronounce .1
entirely out of danger. His physician, Dr. Rlberts; is in
daily attendance on him, at his residence in Bridge-street,
Blackfriars. " Glorious John," it is hoped, will be soon
enabled to resume his duties at the Surrey and Adelphi
theatres.

A PLAYING MAN.—Ile himself, with all his judg-
ment in bets, would have betted any man in England against
himself for self-murder. Yet, after having been supposed
the sharpest genius of his time, he, by all that appears,
shot himself in the distress of his circumstances. * * *
He lost twelve hundred a year by Lord Albetnarle's death,
and four by Lord Gage's. The same day he asked im-
mediately for the government of Virginia, or the fox-hound ;
and pressed for an answer with an eagerness that surprised
the Duke of —, who never had a notion of pinning down
the relief of his own or any other man's wants to a day.
Yet that seems to have been the case of ****, who deter-
mined to throw the die of life or death, Tuesday was se'n-
night, on the answer he was to receive 'from the Court,
which did not prove favourable. He consulted indirectly,
and at last directly, several people on the easiest method of
finishing life ; and seems to have thought he had been too
explicit, for he invited company to dinner for the day of
his death, and ordered a supper at White's, where he
supped, too, the night before. He played at whist till it
was one in the morning : it was New Year's morning.
Lord Bertie drank to him a happy new year. He clapped
to ins •yes. In the morning he had a
lawyer and three witnesses, and executed his will, which
he made them read twice over, paragraph by paragraph ;
and then, asking the lawyer if that would stand good
thongh a man were to shoot himself, and being assured
that it would, he said, " Pray stay while I step into the
next room," and shot himself. He clapped the pistol so
close to his head that they heard no report.—Lord Or-
ford's Letters.

THE LATE GLASGOW MURDER.—The autho-
rities have been most indefatigable in their endeavours to
discover the villain who shot Smith, the cotton-spinner, in
Anderston, on Saturday night, the 22d of July ; and in
the course of a most careful examination by Mr. Salmond
of the members of the spinners' committee (who are still
in custody), and others, the name of a spinner, M'Lean,
became so bound up, and seemingly so deeply implicated,
in the horrid deed, as to leave very little doubt that, could
he be got, the crime might in all probability be brought home
to him. In consequence of this every exertion was made
to discover him, and on Thursday morning last a young
man, of the name of Roberton, who is frequently employed
by Captain Miller, and who has been exceedingly success-
ful in discovering delinquents, happened to see the mother
of iNPLean, whom he previously knew, walking along the
road in the direction of CadJer. Roberton immediately
suspected that when the mother was there the son might
not be far off; and, having given information of the fact to
the superintendent, Donald M'Lean, one of our criminal
officers, was dispatched, along with Roberton, to do their
best to discover the suspected individual. After cautious
inquiry at almost every house in the district, Roberton on
Sabbath forenoon observed M‘Lean's father smoking his
pipe on the road near Lilyburn; and the party having se-
parated and secreted themselves they dogged the man to
his home, into which they all instantly followed. Having
seized and secured the prisoner, he was safely lodged in the
police office on Sunday night. We understand he displays
much confidence and self-possessioa ; but from all we have
been able to gather there is a chain of circumstances con
necting hint tvith the late assassination of the most extraor-
dinary description.—Glasgow Papei%
Yesterday afternoon the waggon of Robert Barton,
Esq., of Little Hendon, was robbed in going from the New
Bell Inn, Parringdon-street, to the Rose and Crown, Hol-
born, of a hale of goods, containing several articles to the
value of 2.71. and upwards. The robber made use of the
following ingenious stratagem :—A man in a smock-frock
rendered him-self so very active in loading the waggon at
the New Bell, that the people of the yard supposed him to
beleng to- the waggon ; and the waggoner, on the other
hand, iniegined he was connected with the inn. At the
time the teneeon was being loaded another waggon belong-
ing to Mr. 13e ton entered the yard, and was sent to a house
in the City to take in some sugar. The first-mentioned
waggon, while proceeding from the Bell to the Rose and
Crowu, was overtaken by the stranger that had so mate-
rially assisted in loading, who, in apparently great agitation,
addressed the waggoner, saying " A sad accident had hap-
pened to his feilow-servant by the falling of a hogshead of
sugar upon hint, and that the driver of the first waggon was
to go and take charge of the second, while he (the speaker)
proceeded on to Hendon with the first. This ruse sue-
c :eded. The carter went 63 desired, and during his ab-
sence the waggon was robbed as above. It is almost un-
necessary to observe that no accident of the kind mentioned
had happened to the waggoner.
Lest night, between nine and ten o'clock, the fol-
lowing dreadful and melancholy stage-coach accident
occurred at the Golden Cross inn, Charing-cross, to a
',nun;; man, 30 years of ego, of the name of William
Gatten, formerly a guard to a coach, who arrived on the
Brunswick Star, Portsmouth night coach, at the Golden
Cross-inn, Charing-cross, for the purpose of proceeding
out of London. The unfortunate man, in endeavouring
to descend from the front of the coach before the horses
were stopped, missed his footing, and he was instantly
precipitated to the ground, when, unfortunately, the
front and hind wheels passed over both his legs, which
were frightfully fractured before the coachman could pos-
sibly pull his horses up. Assistance was immediately
procured, and he was raised from off the ground. From
the dreadful injuries he had sustained his screams were
terrific. A shutter being procured a bed from the ins
was placed on it, and the poor sufferer removed to the
Charing-cross Hospital, when, on an examination of the
injuries he had sustained, it is feared that amputation
must be performed. The coach was particularly heavily
laden with insi.le and outside passengers, besides a quan-
tity of luggage.
It is established that the glaciers which lie heaped
upon each other upon the gorges and sides of Mont Blanc
reach to the height of 8,000 feet perrendicular, and that
the snows of the upper part occupy an additional space of
4,000 feet perpendicular, thus making together a mass of
12,000 feet of ice and snow, without including the irregu-
larities of the surface.

In the county of Hereford the apple crop does not
promise to be large, but the corn is looking extremely well,
and is in many places pearly ripe, The hops look well,
