STAG HUNT IN IRELAND.
Monday se'nnight, a stag hunt took place in the magnificent
scenery of the Upper Lake at Killarney, when, atter running
through the mountains for some time, and being pressed hard,.
the stag, as is usual took to the water. Amongst the boats
pressing to save him, one, containing four men, was upset. in
consequence of the boisterous state of the weather; two of the
men were saved -by a boat near them, but the other two were
unfortunatly drowned. There .also happened a disasiraus
contest for precedence between two boats, in which a Gentle-
man had his aim broken,'and a boatman two-ribs ; another man
had also an eye nearly knocked out. .

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday several of the wit-
nesses who gave evidence against the Bishop of Clogher, and
John Morelley, attended at this Office, and hid a private in-
terview with the Magistrate, we understand, relative to appear-
ing at the Sessions to prosecute. The soldier is still in confine-
ment for want of bail.. 'We are informed, upon good authority, '
that after the depositions had been laid before his Majesty; he,
commanded that immediate proceedings should be pursued by
the Law Officers in the Ecclesiastical Court in Ireland, in or-
der to deprive the Bishop of his dignities. It is said that the
Bishop had a passport in his possession on the morning of his
examination, and that he quitted the country soon after his li-
beration. The Sessions commence on the 10th of September.—
(Morning Chrimick.)
The Directors of the Rhenish West India
Company are at this moment engaged in a plan
for the formation of an establishment at Vera
Cruz; the principal port of Mexico. The Agent
of the Company, who is at l'othau-Prince, is to
repair.to that place, and the first vessel consigned
to it will sail from llamburgh in the course of
this summer. A circular letter to the German
manufacturers of articles fit for that market in-
vites them to take a part in'this first essay to
open a direct commercial intercourse between
Germany and the rich countries of. Spanish

SINCLAIR, the celebrated Vocalist, is now at
Florence, completing an engagement as first
Tenor. He has received some, very flattering
honours in Italy. At the Opera at Pisa, during
the Carnival, he sung before the GRAND DUKE,
who was pleased to compliment him highly; and
the Cassino, or Academy of Music at Bologna,
the first in Italy, have elected Mr. S. an honorary
Member of their Society.
ACCLDE'NT BY FIREARMS.--The premises of a
baker, named Woodhouse, residing at the corner
of Chapel-row, Vineyard-buildings, C lerken well,
being infested by rats, a gun was kept loaded for
their destruction, and on Saturday morning last
a journeyman discharged it at a party of those
unwelcome visitors, and unfortunately lodged
the contents (small shot) in the body of a poor
woman, named Wright, in the parlour of a house
opposite, who now lies dangerously ill. The
numerous accidents which have already occurred
from the incautious handling of fire-arms, ought
to make such instances of the unintentional shed-
ding of human blood, by a precipitate or awk-
ward use of those weapons, less frequent than
they unhappily are.
