A Gentleman, furious with anger and hunger,
Thus address'd an itinerant Irish fistniiinger.
You'knvish infernal impostor ! pray how

To blame me, when none but yourself are to Wattle ;
Before your own door you allow'd me to cry !eat
Fire days, Sir, before you thought proper to buy 'ern.",

LYcEOt.---The Castle of Andalusia was repre,
sented last night at this Theatre. It is one of the
whimsical production's of O'Ke.Erc, and is sup-
ported by excellent music, by the late Dr. ARNOLD.
LISTOti made his first appearance at this Theatre
in the -Character of .Pedrilla', He received ti very
gratifying mark of public favour on his entrance,
and, by his ladierous hum Our through the piece,
he obtained much applause. Mrs. C 1111.113 per..
fdrrncd Lorcuza; She sung very well, but-
racters"of playful humour are pot suited to
.her
talents. - SMITH'S poWerfal voice was exerted with
good effect in Don Ccesori and he was encored in
" Flow thou'regal purple stream." He wanted ex-
pression in the woilsong. who'perfOrltled

bour to becoMe more articulate in his singing.
---,The opera was attended by a numerous audi-
ence, and was very well received.
It is a curious objection made in an IrlshSournah
but .perlectly.conSistent with the usual contents of
that paper, that ansong the Jury rbp tried:Nit-X/1.-

(lector of the Paper alluded to wished to have
Atheists and examples of prolligaey upon the JOry
itt hopes that sympathetic principles pight havo
occasioned 'an acquittal.

and 27 minutes, during .which time '63. 'rounds
were fought. Mason appeared to be the favourite
during the whole of the battle, but betting was
nearly equal : the close of the conflict, victory
was declared in favour of 111w.ipp. They were
both taken from the ground, dreadfully beaten,
and ill a state of total insensibility.--,lt is coin-

• TitATION IN IRLIAND. •

(Vg,o:ki TtIE 'CORK. ADVIUtTiSE,II, JULY 27)•

We are„bappYtd find
:that the Corporationdf
the City of. Cork,- in common with the Corpora,
flans of Waterford; 'Limerick',, and all the great.
cities and toWns in Ireland have come for Ward trs
Wet, it tribute nf applause. and- approbation -to our
very amiableand highly independent minded Lord
Lieutenant', his. Grnee the Duke Or Richmond,
now that -he is about to, depart from :In (Ake
which, -tiering a period of'great peril and danger,
he has filled with vigour, trite wtsdom, and great
humanity.
Certainly at no period {lie} a certain: party in
Ireland, assume an aspect More daring or more
intolerant in view and object than during the
Administration of his Grace; and it is as equally •
'certain a fact, that in no country; or at atty.:tithe,
was any party so humbled, and effectually. put
doWn in disgrace, as the identical party in, clues-
tion have been, by his Grace's cool, temperate,
yet strong an energetic system of Government.
And to this it is -owing that' at.this period,. al-
though mighty liave been the struggles made for
disuniting the people—imighty the struggles to
'seduce them tq think badly of the Government,
-and almost to draw them from their allegiance
although week after•week have been spent in ad-
dressing ,the passion's .Of the multitude, and
though a certain portion of the press in Ireland
has most intambusly prostituted itself to this vile
and wicked purpose, in a manner horrible to re-
flect upon, yet, thank God, that under the Duke
of Richmond's Administration,' Ireland at this
moment of his departure,:nresents aSceneof the
most perfect calmness, tranquility and peace, and
his Grace can return to England, with this happy
reflection on his mind, that without tyranny, or,
force of arms or Hiss of blood, but by a due and
wholesome' exercise of the laws, he leaves Ireland
wiser ancl happier than.he found her.
Let men of common sense weigh the occur,: ,
rences now pastlet them reflect upon the'inde-
! cent Usage—the intemperate language—the vile
anti libellous slanders ilailynttered, and as yiiekly
printed, under the very eye and ear of that Noble.-
man, which they wereintended to insult.--let them
reflect Upon theSpeechesofthose lognacionsCnun-.
sellktri,'sotne of whom briefless in the hall of the
Courts--,-repelsed petitioners front the audience-
chamber of the Castle, sought to draw, theinselVes
into notice, by declamatory libels gross and vulgar
as she toil front which some of .those. agitators
sprung, against t he GovernMent, ngainst the Laws,
and against the 'Representative of Majesty in this
country; It'!t such 'reflecting men say whether, tut-
. der such circumstances it became not the duty
of the Chief Otivernor to put down such an as-
senibly, to • intimidate such agitateis, end to pro
cure peace-to the land.--=When that
,tiody,
itself the DeleLte-ate'S front the Irish tatholies, first
assembled, the fears of the country beeamexous,
etl; it was conceive:lA.lot suck a Delegation .of.
Members from all the Counties end Cities in Ire-
land would speedily asinine the appearance 'of an
Irisk Parliament, and not 'a verytemperate or dig-
nified 'one either.. This body 'growing tq a git
gantie size, assuming an importance even greater.
than: the Government itself---dictating with an
imperious authority, for the whole people of Ire,
land, whom they impudently did not hesitate
to say they represented by -Delegation,
oit
came the duty of the Duke of Richmond, as chief.
Governor, to hnmble this growing Parliament,
and put an end to its existence.
.With a dignity
and temper befitting his Graeer,-inditferent as to
himselli and the injuries.attempted to be pet tipon,,
him—he, by the regular course of the law, si-
lenced those demagogues—put an end' to their
delegation—and restored security to society.
Ansi what has been the benefitresulting; from.
this conduct in 'his Ciracel Time has passed

pe,,ranee and moderationthe.passions Inner-

who have so daringly intruded thernselves upon
public notice, are in reality vaunting idle &ma-
