to the Throne was yesterday -celebrated. .by a
dinner of this very ancient and loyal
.company.
The members of the Livery were present in more
than usual attendance, and the principal table
was filled by the Court and visitors.
The Hall was decorated in a most appropriate and characte-
ristic style, and the banners of the Company waved above the
tables with all imaginable grandeur. The plate, of a character
at once splendid and massive, was placed in a favourable light,
and its excellence was displayed to universal admiration. •

:the Lend Chancellor, Lord Stowell, Admiral Stirling, the Chan-
cellor. .11- the Exchequer, the Lord Mayor, Sheriff's, &c.
mentered
the koo, amidstvery general approbation, and the ceinpany

, The first course having been removed, the CriAl ItMAN rose,
and said that he begged in hisown name, and the name of the
Vice-Warden' to say, that they were prepared to drink
the health of all the members and visitors present, and to
bid them heartily welcome.—(This was received with universal
cheers.)
. .

effectively ,sung by .A.lissrs. Cooke,-Clarke,
Goulding, J. Taylor, and Master Smith.
The Cuant MAN then proposed " The King;' a*toast which
he thought it right to preface with one observation, that the
only company whiCh could claim the honour of his Majesty's
presidency was the Goldsmiths' Company.—(Cheers.)
The toast was received with extraordinary enthusiasm. It
was drank with four times four.

The CHAIRMAN next pfoposed the health of " .The Duke
of York and the Army," and this toast was received with ge-
neral approbation. _ _ _

• In introducing it to the notice of the company, the CHAIR-
MAN observed, that it was to him, as it must he was convinced
be to every NI ember present, a matter of extreme regret that
the Illustrious Individual whose health he had the •honour of
proposing for the adoption of the company, was comnAled by
circumstances, over which it was impossible even for his Royal
Ilio;hncss to have contiol, to be absent from the celebmtion of
so delightful an Anniversary, His Royal Highness, he could
assurethe company felt extreme.sorrow at the interference of
any duty which obliged him •to forego the pleasure that be

(Cheers.).

PRICE SEVIENREktiI,

It ELAN D:

[FROM THE CORK ADVERTISER; JAN. 26.]
A report has•been current all day, that the
Rebels appeared in considerable numbers hear
Kanttirk, and that the detachment of militw
found it necessary to retire to Buttevant. We
do not, howei,er, pledge ourselves for the accu-
racy of this statement;

On Thursday night last, a party of those mis-
guided people, Who are causing so much.distur4-
ance and alarm in the country, proceeded to Mr.
Abraham Beale's Manufactory at Monard (a few
hundred yards west of the new:Mailow-road,
and three miles distant from this City), where
they stripped and carried off about two cwt. of
lead from the roof of the iron, works. The
Lowood Mill, which is immediately contiguous;
was at work at the titne, and the noise proceed-
ing from it enabled them to effect their purpose
without discovery.

THE OUTRAGES AT BANTRY.
[LORD BANTRY'S ACCOUNT.]

" BANTRY, JAN. 22.—0 n being informed that the pass of.
the Glen was in possession of the Vihitelx/s, and having several
informations sworn before me and other Magistrates, againit
those person's who conimitte4 the late outrages here, and forille-
gal assembly, I called on Major Carthew to give me a •party,to
aid the civil power; he at ozice,complied, and with fourteen of
the 59th Regiment,the Major, Capt. O'Sullivan, Capt. White,
my eldest son (Lord Beerhaven), constables, and tenantry, in
all, including the Military, 55, On- horseback, proceeded at
five yesterday morning. The Major: took a commanding pa..
sition over the Glen, and we proceeded on, and had scarcely
gone through it, when we heard shouting and bugle horns sound-
' ing, and men were arriving in all directions ; they fired on my
party on the road, but I considered it too distant to return
their fire ; a man came from where the firing commenced with
a pike in his hand, and expected we were of Captain Rock's
party--this man is a prisoner. The Whiteboys on our return
back kept firing, and Major Carthew received them in the
very best manner. I detached Dlr. O'Sullivan, and ten others
on foot to his assistance, as the nature of the country would -
net permit the cavalry to act. It is with great regret I am
obliged to state that one soldier, too far in advance, was killed
by spades, sticks, &c Two of the persons who killed hint
were instantly shot dead. To Major Carthew I am undek the
greatest obligations, not only in thisrbtit for his kind co-opera-
tion at all times,and I am convinced that every man did his duty
in the presence-of such numbers 'and with so small a detachment.
To Mr. O'Sullivan, Mr. White, and the respectable persons
who placed-themselves under my directions, I feel the greatest
gratitude, every recommendation of mine having been imme-
diately acted upon. We have taken six prisoners, and report
says, one Lynch, of Mallyvoomey, was shot dead; another
man named Cronin, and one Leary, shot badly ; and numbers
wounded. The Nlajor says 12 were killed. All the country
was in motion—Clonnacreena, Ballyvoerney, &c. last night,
and the dead and-wounded were supposed to be taken off to
distant places. • a a a

at attacking the town, but I cannot believe it. - .BANTRY, •

IMPROVEMENT IN TR A D E.--The spinning trade
is uncommonly brisk at present in Arbroath and
the country adjoining. The demand_ for work
people is greater than has been remembered for
a long time past; and not unfrequently it is with
considerable - difficulty they can be obtained.----
The other week, the. proprietors of a mill,. a few
miles from town, after some of
,their frames had.
been at a stand for want of _hands, sent to Mon-
.trnse to procure additional spinners. When, to
the great joy of the partners, a sufficient number
had at length been found, they were conveyed
in post-chaises to the scene of their labours.
All was now conceived to be adjusted to .a
wish ; but the nett day it appeared that one
of the . fair travellers, delighted with the un-
usual magnificence of the style in which.she had
been conveyed to the destined field of her operLi-
tions, had. begun to long for another trip of
similar kind. In het' dreams, post-chaises ap-
peared waiting for her in every town; and so,
'without ceremony, she took her departure from
the mill to. which she had been borne, by a welt-
mounted postillion, in the full assurance of being
courted as an invaluable acquisition to any -of
the . mill-spinners in the county she might
choose -to honour -with her proposals. New
schemes, it has been found, must be devised
to keep the operatives at work ; and, ac-
cordingly, balls have been projected as one of
the likeliest -means of success. On Friday last,
arrangements were -effected for no fewer than
three dancing assemblies for the spinners in Ar-
bsoath, and one. for those at Friock, in the yid
--
fifty.. Beef and Nam, and toddy, and tarts, were
profusely distributed. Musicians, not witholett
difficulty, were procured for the occasion-;- and`
it is said that seven or eight hundred persons of
both sexes, decked in attire of no mean aspect,
regaled them Selves with the dainties of the sea-
son.—(Dundee Courier.)

. _
An extraordinary flow of water, without any
apparent impulse but that of spring tides, oc-
curred at the morning and afternoon tides of
Saturday last, along • the northern coast of this
county. The sea rose from 4to 5 feet .perpen-
dicularly, above the usual height of 'the highest
spring tides, ovefflowing the banks and marshes,
and; in some situations, insulating the cottages,
which border the shore. The wind blew from.
the N. W. and was fortunately light, as had it
blowh from that' quarter with violence, the most
disastrous consequences must have resulted:-L-
The only serinu,s, damage we have yet learned,
is at Reculver, where the were action of the waves
against the west side of 'the cliff occasioned a
.considerable portion 'to shoot down, and more
particularly at the north-west angle of the burial
g.round of the old church, which has exposed 'to
view coffins with the mouldering remains of mor-
tality suspended, as it were, in " the midway
air," between -their parent earth and the ocean.
Oue of the coffins is that of a person, whom it is
remembered had been. interred there, and whos.e
body was washed on shOre, he' having
.been
drowned at sea.—(Kentish Gazette.)

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

The following Copy of a Letter has been trans-
mitted to us by a Correspondent :

" ST. PETERSBURG' DEC. '29, 1821.—" For a
long time we have not heard so many heavy com-
plaints touching the badness of trade as at pre-
seat. Several commercial houses of the first re-
spectability have addressed themselves to Govern-
ment, through the Minister of Commerce, (Count
Von LAMBERTOsoliciting pecuniary relief against
the hypothecation of their property. Generally
speaking the Government has acted with great
liberality : the required aid not only has been
granted, but the mercantile body have been offi-
cially informed that their petition to have their
merchandise four months longer in the ware-
houses, without payment of the duties, has been
fa:oarably riceived, and that their wishes will
iu r-os,equence be complied with. The repre-
sei:tations, too, which have been made against
the projected alterations in the new Tariff, alter-
ations which all practical men concur in viewing
as highly prejudicial to their operations, there
is pleasure in stating, have been attended with
the desired effect ; Government, in fact, waves
them altogether. Much praise is justly due
to Count Von Lambert for his very hearty es-
pousal of the mercantile interests, and for his
• unremitting efforts with the Executive till his
point was carried. Let us hope that with the ap-
proach of spring a healthful activity will infuse it-
self into business,and that the murmurings we have
had to notice will constitute a tale of the past...—
At the great fair at Nischneynovgorod, nothwith-
standing the badness of the times, goods to the
value of 7‘2-1- millions • of, rubles have been dis-
posed of. Taxes are every where obnoxious :
and, certainly ata moment of pressure, it were
good policy to refrain from imposing any of an
objectionable nature. Every wholesale merchant
pays yearly for his pass, i. e. his license, 100
rubles. lie is now further required to furnish
his establishment annually with three counting-
house books, containing 300 leaves : For every
sucit leaf, the government tax is two rubles.
Formerly a brokers' note was subject to a stamp
of 50 copecs : it is now three rubles. So that
you see, acute as you esteem your Chancellor of
the Exchequer, he might gain a financial hint
even from the Banks of the Neva.

" The cause of the Greeks, as is natural—is
decidedly popular in Russia. Though we can-
not precisely foretell events, every one does an-
ticipate the downfall of Turkish tyranny. The
folhwing fact, as elucidatory of the feeling, even
in Is<•'gli places, towards the unhappy fugitives who
have been driven from their homes money less, is
deserving of mention. In the city of Tobolsk,
lately, a subscription of 2000 rubles, (we are not
sure it is not 12,000 rubles, the figures being blot-
ted), was raised in a very short time--such sub-
scription having originated with the Minister of
Public Worship, Prince Golytzin, aided also by
the Governor-General of Siberia.

Last Monday (viz. on the 21th inst.) there was
a grand levee at Court, in honour of the Emperor's
birth-day.- Amongst a great many persons of dis-
tinction, who had the honour to be presented,
were the gentlemen attached to his Britannic
Majesty's Embassy, viz. Mr. Villars, Mr. Bank-
head, Mr. Fouche; and an English gentleman
on his travels ; a Mr. Pegrin ; the suite of the
French Embassy, the Viscount Pontkarre,
Chef-de-bataillon, and Secretary of Legation,
Viscount de Brese, Lieutenant of Embassy ;
and the Count de Grandpre, Captain in the
French Navy ; M. de Coignard, Secretary of the
Wirtemberg Embassy ; the Prussian Major
Than, of the Imperial Grenadiers ; Mr. Ad-
jutant Schoeler, of the same Regiment ; and
Lieutenant Schoeler, of the Guards ; the
Tii,;can Nobleman, the Marquis de Perier;
Nobleman, Count Salasar ; the Privy Court-
seller, Von Trantvetter, attached to the Saxon
Legation ; Mr. Von Kronsborg, Chamberlain and
Secretary to the Swedish Legation ; and Mr.
Dunker, Aide-de-Camp to the War Minister in
Sweden ; the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, Colonel
Anguez ; Mr. Calderon de la Barca ; and the
Consul General, the Chevalier Zea de Her-
mudes.

" They write from Moscow that the beau
monde there have had an important accession to

their evening amusements :—A very well orga-
nised Corps d'Opera, from Italy, have adventur-
ed to speculate on Muscovite patronage ; and it
is said they are likely to succeed r?
They made their debut in the private theatre be-
login!): to Count Apraxin, with the Opera Buffa
" 11 Turco in Italia." by Rossini. .The whole of
the performers gave great satisfaction, particularly
a Madame Anti, who was prima donna ; and a
Signor Pertn.ii, by his fine tenor voice.
" Professor Goruschkin, one of the most
learned Jurisconsults in all Russia, and a very

amiable man, died lately in that ancient capital
of the Czars. He had bee❑ upwards of 50 years
a devoted servant of the State ; and so perfect
was he in legal knowledge that he could repeat
the whole of the Russian Code—civil and crimi-
nal. He was 74 years of age.
44 I conclude with telling you we still have re-
markably mild weather : neither frost nor snow ;
an extraordinary phenomena at so advanced a
season in this climate."
