[FROM TILE CORK ADVERTISER, JAN. 5.]
The AEA you, in the course of this week, called
a meeting of the Spirit Retailers at the Mansion
House, to represent to them the public and
.pri-
vate evils which it was in their power to prevent
by a strict observance of good order in their
houses. This most judicious conduct of our. ex-
cellent Mayor was attended with success. The
following declaration was immediately entered
into and signed

lire, the undersigned Licenced Spirit Retailers of this City,
anxious at all times to preserve good order and proper conduct
within our City and Suburbs, and being impressed with the ex-
isting necessity of being more vigilant to uphold the laws, and to
check disorderly and unlawful assemblies, do pledge ourselves,
individually and collectively, to adhere to the following Reso-
lutions :

Ist.' To strictly observe the Sabbath and keep our houses
cloSed till two o'clock on that day.
2. To have our houses closed every night at eleven o'clock.
Other Resolutions of the same import,.and equally creditable
to the Major and the Meeting, were. also adopted, which it is
eardestly to be hoped will be rigidly adhered to. • •

DARING ATTACK ON RvE-Couwr.—Last night,
between the hours of 19. and 1 o'clock, a very
large number of men appeared on the lawn of Rye-
Court, the seat of J. Rye, Esq. in this county, de-
manding arms. Finding a determination to resist
them, they went to a forge adjacent, and took
implements with which to force an entrance; they,
were however ultimately repulsed, and it is sup-
posed with loss on their side ; bet we are glad
to say without injury to Mr. Rye, or any of his
party.

'We are sorry to perceive that a spirit of insur-
rection has spread into the county of Waterford
(a district hitherto tranquil) ; Ardoe house, the
residence of the Rev. Mr. Carew, at the other
side of Youghal Ferry, has been attacked, and
all the offices burned.--Mr. Carew and family
have gone into Youghal fot safety.
'l'he Lord Chancellor has been pleased to ap-
point William Harrington, Esq. of Crosshaven, a
Magistrate for the County of Cork.

ADDRESS OF THE FARMING SOCIETY TO THE
MARQUIS WELLESLEY_ •

His Grace the Duke of LEINSTER, the Earl of MEATH, and
Viscount Li sm o nE, as a deputation from the Farming Society
of Ireland, attended by their Secretary, waited upon his Ex-
cellency the Marquis WELLESLEY on Friday, and presented
the following address :

To his Excellency the Most Noble Richard Marquis WEL-
LESLEY, Lord Lieutenant General, and General Governor

of Ireland.

" May it please your Exce.llency,—We; as Directors of the
Farming Society of Ireland, most respectfully present to your.
Excellency a copy of our Charter, by which we are entitled to
the valued 'privilege of calling your Excellency our patron.
" And we confidently trust, that under the guidance of such
a patron, the Farming Society may be made an efficient instru-
ment of much advantage to this country.

" Its objects and its labours have hitherto been directed (we
hope successfully) to improve ploughing, draining, and irrigat-
ing; to the importation and growth of seed corn, the dispersion
of good implementz, and the improvement of neat cattle, sheep,
and swine. Whatever advancement in agriculliure Ireland can
boast, has been principally effected since its institution, and by
its means.

" Latterly, the efforts of the Society have been fettered by the
limitation of its funds, under the necessary system of general
retrenchment. It looks forward with hope to better times, and
to the wisdom and liberality of your Excellency's patronage.
" The Society comprises amongst its members almost all the
rank and respectability of the county—ready to co-operate in
every exertion towards agricultural improvement which your
Excellency, their respected Patron, shall do them the honour
to suggest.

" Your Excellency's comprehensive mind, whilst it admits.
the importance of improved agriculture to every country, will
intuitively apprec6te its peculiar.valne to Ireland, as the most`
effectual means of providing permanent employment for a dis-
tressed population, and of furnishing to the State the full bene-
fit of her great natural resources."

To which his Excellency was pleased to return the following
gracious Answer :

" WELLESLEY.

" Under the authority of your charter, I accept the honour-
able charge which you have been pleased to intrust to me, with
a high sense of its public importance.
" It will be my anxious endeavour to afford every assistance
within my power to the Farming Society, in the promotion of
its useful and salutary objects; and I sincerely hope that you
may continue to advance the agriculture of Ireland, and to dif-
fuse the spirit of honest industry.
" It is painful to me to learn, that the efforts of the So-
ciety have been fettered by the limitation of its funds, under
the system of general retrenchment lately adopted ; and I shall
be happy to avail myself of any proper means of augmenting
your funds, consistently with the attention which is due to the
strict economy of the public finances. But I cannot omit this
opportunity of declaring, that it is not less my inclination than
my bounden duty to give every aid to the progress of that wise
and necessary system of general' retrenchment which has been
adopted by his Majesty's Government and by Parliament; and
which is as essential to the true dignity of the Crown, as it is
indispensably necessary for the security of the State, and for
the interests and welfare of the people.
'6 I am deeply impressed with the value and the importance
of your institution ; and sensible, as I must be, of the utility
of such establishments, in whatever country they may have been
introduced, I feel that they are of more peculiar interest and
advantage in Ireland, where the introduction of habits of in-
dustrious labour is indispensably requisite for the safety of pro-
perty, and for the happiness of the great body of the people. '

Extract of a Letter from Boston, Dec. B.
" Last year no less than 734 vessels sailed from
Alaska and the Western Coast of America,
through the channel, separating America from
North Georgia and Greenland. It is curious to
reflect that the very existence of such a passage
was a problem of. difficult solution to Europeans,
from the 16th to the 18th centuries. This was
then called the North-west passage, and was first
discovered by a navigator of great celebrity
amongst the ancient English, but his name was
neither PARRY nor CROKER ; and it is impossible
to ascertain, from the imperfect state of our
records, his true name."

Extract of a Letter-from Havanah, Nov. 20.
" So many idle reports have gone forth, in re-
gard to the state of affairs here, communicated
by silly foreigners, and founded upon Coffee-
house conversation, and which have found their
w•ay into the American Papers, that I should not
be surprised that they have made an impression in
the United States that we are upon the eve of a Re-
volution. Now, I can assure you, that we are at
present far from it, and there is nothing to appre-
item' on that score, as all is perfectly quiet hers
t present." •
