STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
On this subject we have nothing cheering to
oiler; things are, if possible, more gloomy than
ever in the south ; and even the spirit of outrage
is making intrwdon into our own peaceable bor-
ders. A few nights ago, the Church of Yen-
nagh, in this county, was robbed of its furniture ;
and although the theft was a petty one, in point
of profit to the robbers, yet the disposition it
evinces, is a strong proof of the demoralized
state of society. We fear, and we have long
been under the impression, that, though our im-
mediate neighbourhood is tranquil, the same
spirit of malignity which has superseded every
good feeling, is fast spreading through the king-
dom at large, and unless put down by some
more than ordinary exertion and energy, is likely
to increase, till it shall acquire a strength and
force not easily resisted, by the means now ap-
plicable. Since writing the above we have been
informed that some window curtains have been
pawned in one of the offices of this town, sup-
posed to be those stolen from Eennagh Church.
—lt would be well if there was an inquiry made
into the circumstance, as this might lead to a dis-
covery of the thieves.—(Carlow Morning Post.)

"PART! OcT. 6, 1823.
"My Lord—By desire of his Excellency Sir Chad." t•:Heart,
I enclose .a letter to your Lordship, stating the suicide of Mrs.
Maria Dell, thinking it possible that you may find out some
of her friends to make it known to them.
" I saw her just before she left Paris, when she stated to me
that she was of Dublin, and had been going to Bordeaux to
see her sister, but was unable to proceed. She appeared to be
about 70 years of age, and was destitute of money, havin,r,
as she said, lost her pocket-book. Her manner was very odd,
and inclined to mental derangement. I persuaded her to re- I
turn to Ireland, and advanced her sufficient money for that
purpose. She left Paris, and at the place where she slept •th
first night, she was found in the morning dead, with her throe.,
cut.
" Should your Lordship be able to communicate this Intel.
ligence to any of her friends, you will probably relieve them
from some anxiety as to what has become of her.

Th© Fury and Reda discovery ships arrived
off Gravesend on Tuesday afternoon, and pro-
ceeded directly to Galleon's Reach, where their
glans and ammunition would be removed, and
then the ships proceed to Deptford. The num-
ber of persons to congratulate them on their
arrival was immense.
We are gratified to learn that Captain Panto'
was much better last night. lie lost 20 ounces
of blood yesterday, by which he was greatly re-
lieved, and his medical attendants are now of
opinion that a few days will place him entirely
out of danger.

it bit a young girl in the uncle. Immediately
an alarm was given, when a general pursuit
took place ; several attempts were made to shoot
him, but without effect, when on nearing the

hand, struck him a blow with it, and held the
sharp edge on his neck till life wax extinct.

DISTILLERS.

We have heard it mentioned, that, notwithstanding the re-
duction in price, the Scotch Distillers intend sending their
spirits to this country for sale, and that it will he offered at a
low rate in comparison to the price demanded by our domestic
monopolizers. Now, although the manufacture of Whiskey
be one of our staples, we cannot regret (if such be the fact),
that a set of selfish individuals, who, by their co-operation,
have too long plundered the public, shall meet so formidable
an opposition at their own door. Let it not be said the Distil.
lens have benefitted the country by the employment ef their
capital; but rather let us ask, how was that capital first ac-
quired, and then let us see how it has been actually employed.
—We shall not disgust our readers by a detail of all the means
by which their capital has been acquired—they arc notorious.
Suffice it to may, tndepcndent of such means as we allude to,
it was extracted from the bowels of the country by the artful
combination of their united policy, which on one hand held
the agricultural interest in leading strings, and on the other,
kept down the retailers with all the grinning exaction of want.
They thus acquired a capital which they have uniformly wielded
in regulating the price of corn to their own advantage, and
in regulating the price of spirits to the disadvantage of the
retailers. Let us not be mistaken; we are not jaundiced by
their success; we do not envy. them the possession of their
ostentatious luxury, or the exactions of their griping avarice.
—We can concede to laudable speculation all the merit of suc-
cess ; we rejoice at the reward of upright industry, and shall
always applaud that modest display of wealth which uniformly
marks the pursuit of honest gain. But we feel it is high time
that a source of competition should be opened in the manufac-
ture and sale of so important an article, whereby the public
will assuredly be bencitted.—( Cork Mercury.)

A Gentleman from Kinsale has just favoured
us with the gratifying intelligence, that for the
last thirty years there had not been so extensive
a take of fish as has been made within the last
thirteen or fourteen days, the quantity of hake,
herrings, sprats, &c. &c., is immense. This
has proved now a. benefit of real value, the
fishermen having been enabled by the bounties
granted them by the Fishery Board, to have their
nets and boats in readiness to avail themselves
fully of this supply. Something ought to be
done with regard to the Salt Duties, to render
this still more valuable.— (Cork Mercantile
Chronicle, Oct. 17.)

THAMES RIVERMEN SOCIETY.

The first anniversary of the SOciety for pro-
meting Religion among Waterman, Bargemen, and other
Itivennen, visiting and relieving their sick and widows, was
held last night at the City of London Tavern,—Mr. Alderman
Kx e in the Chair, in the absence of Mr. Alderman Thompson,
who was detained in the country.
A report was distributed in the room, which set forth the pr-
ominent means employed by the committee to promote religion
among the Thames Ilivermen : Among other benevolent
arrangements made by the society are the. following :—They
have opened places on the banks .of the Thames for religious
meetings in the week, and on the Sabbath ; to which have been
attached libraries, to lend books to the watermen and others,
fur the religious improvement of themselves and faluilitsm—dis-
tributed.Rthles and religious tracts among them —taken notice
of any particular death or calamity, and invited their attendance
'at a place of worship, and had it unproved by a Minister of the
Gospel—visited anti relieved their sick and widowsl and imparted
assistance when they were in peculian distress. '1 he opennig of
places for religious worship, particularly for 1./mermen, barge-
men, and others, has been attended with pleasing succes,m. Being
ender the milanagement of persons of the same profession, and
meeting with their brethren in trade, they feel less hesitation than
if they were invited to mingle with strangers. A deputation
from the Committee lately visited the different plying places
and barges on the Thames, distributing religious tracts ; and
ascertained that of about 3000 persons they met with, 400 were
destitute of the Scriptures, the majority of whom were desirous
to obtain them.
The Society during the last severe winter solicited the bene-
volence of the public on behalf of the watermen, who were de-
prived of the means of support by the Thames being from
over. Time Committee relieved upwards of 1,000 families with
PO4 clothing, and fuel ; and assisted in the repairs of the boats
of several that had been damaged by, the ice, who would other,
wise have been unable to resume their labour when the weather
became favourable.
Several resolutions, in furtherance of the objects of the So.
ciety, and a subscription ie aid of its funds were proposal, and
etipported by the Rev. Rowland MI (who praised the grand-
tous preaching of the Society, as he said he never knew any
thing stop the parson's mouth so certainly as being paid too
much money—(a laufth)—Rev. Mr. Jones, Rev. G. C. Smith,
and two other gentlemen.
A handsome subscrption was collected in the room, and the
wannest interest was evinced for the welfare and stability.of
the Society.

he is to be delivered- up to thY 'Regency. It
does not appear, however) Whether he is in the
custody of French or' Spanish Authorities. The
probability is that the former have) or will
immediately have, entire possession of him ; in
which case we do not think they will definer him
up to a set of men for whom they: probably enter-
tain no great veneration, and who might 'Sacrifice
him to their vengeance. It would by contrary
to the laws of nations, for which the French
still affect to pay some respect, for them to treat
this man in any other way than as a pritoner of
war. But a much stronger motive may operate
with them in preserving him. There ikevery
reason to suppose, that they will make NM in-
strumental to their designs against Cadiz,
which they would rather get possessioit of
quietly, and by the aid of gold, than by force of
arms, and at a great expence. They may, by

Philip of Macedon did in Greece. So far Louis

Buonaparte. And Prince lilt, as he has been

POETRY.

TO A CHILD.

• BY MISS JOANNA BAILLIE.:
Whose imp art thou, with dimpled cheek,
• And curly pate, and merry eye,
• And and and sleek,
And soft and fair, thou urchin sly ? •
What boots it who, with sweet caresses,
First call'd thee his, or squire or hind ?
For thou in ev'ry wight that passes •
Dost now a friendly playmate find!
Thy downcast glances, grave but cunning,
As fringed eyelids rise and fall,
Thy shyness, swiftly from me running,
'Tis infantine coquetry all !
But far afield thou halt not flown,
With mocks and threats half-spoken,
I feel thee pulling at my gown
Of right good-will thy simple token !
And thou must laugh and wrestle too,
A mimic warfare with me waging,
To make, as wily lovers do,
Thy after-kindness more engaging
a wilding rose, sweet as thyself,
And new cropt daisies are thy treasure ;
Filglidly part with worldly Pelf,
To taste again thy youthful pleasure !
But yet, for all thy merry look,
Thy frisks and wiles, 'the time is coming
When thou shalt sit In cheerless nook,
The weary spell or horn-book thumbing !
Well, let it be ! through weal and woe,
Thou know'st not now thy future range ; . .
Life is a motley shifting show—
And thou a thing of hope and change !

UGLINESS.

Perhaps no Lady was
,ever better reconciled to
positive ugliness, in her own person than the
Duchess of OaItEANS). the mother of the Regent
d'prleans, who governed France .during the mi-
nority of LOUIS XV. Thus she speaks of her
o wq,appearance and manners ,

" From my earliest years j was aware bow ordinary my ap-
Pearance was, and did not like that people should, look at me.
attentively. I never paid any attention to dress, because dia-
monds and dress were sure to attract attention.. My husband,
on the other hand, loved to cover himself with jewels; and was
well satisfied at my dislike of them,as it saved all disputes for
the possession of them. On great days he used to make me
rouge, which I did greatly against my will, as I hate every
thing that incommodes me. One day I made the Countess of.
Soissens laugh heartily. She asked me why Y never turned
my head whenever I passed before a mirror—every body else
did ? I answered, because 'bad too much self-love to bear the
sight of my own ugliness.

" I must have been very Ugly in my youth. I had no sort of
features; with little twinkling eyes, a short snub nose, and
long thick lips : the whole of my pbysiognomy was far from
attractive. 31y face was large, with fat cheeks, and yet my
figute was short and stumpy r in short, I was a very homely
sort of person. Eitapt for the goodness of my disposition, no
one would have endured ,me. It was impossible to discover
any thing like intelligence' in MY eyes, except with a micros.
cope. Perbaps there was not ,On the face of the earth such
another pair of ugly hands as mine, The King often told me
so, and set roe laughing' about it; for as I was quite sure of
being very ugly, I made up my mind to be always the first to
laugh tit it, This succeeded very well, thoueih I must confess
it -furnished me with a good stock of materials for laughter.
My tehiperament is naturally rather melancholy, and when
any thing distresses me, my left side swells up as if it were
filled with water. hate to lie in bed, and the moment I wake
I rise immediately. As for breakfast, I take it very seldom,
and' then have notbingbut bread and butter. Chocolate, coffee,
tea, and all other foreign drugs, I detest. My habits are con.
pletely German, and nothing suits me in the eating and drink-
ing way which is not eonforniable to our old customs.

And WI for gravy broth it is abominable; it always makes me

THE KING. &c.

BRIGHTON, DEC. 25.—As early as half-past nine o'clock
in the morning his MAJESTY received the Sacrament in the
Palace Chapel., The Sacrament was also administered to his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, and their Royal High.
neases the Duke and Duchess of Clarence.—At noon the Morn.
ing Service in the same edifice commenced, at which time, in
the centre compartment of the Royal Closet, were the King
and, to his Majesty's right, the Duke of York :--on
his Majesty's left were the Duke and Duchess of Cla-
rence. In immediate attendance were :—The Hero of
the Age, (the Master. General of the Ordnance, the
Duke of Wellington), the Master of the Horse, the Duke
of Dorset, Lord St. Helens, and the Lord Steward of the Royal
Household. In the compartments of the Royal Closet, to the
right and left were Sir William Keppel, and his Majesty's
Suite; in which were included Lord and Lady Maryborough
Lord and Lady Granville, and the Earl and Countess
Cowper. The King's Household filled the spacious pew the
whole width of the Chapel beneath the Royal Closet. The body
of the chapel was filled by Nobility, Gentry, and Townsfolk,
admitted by tickets.. The prayers and lessons of the day were
read by the Dean of Hereford and the Sub-Dean of the Royal
Chapel, St. James's. A very fine discourse from the 10th and
11th verses of the 2d chapter of St. Luke, was delivered by the
Dean of Sarum :—" And the Angel said unto them, fear
not: for, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day,
in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."—
The harmonious part of the Sacred Service partook of a
character divine. The choristers, under the direction of Mr.
Hawes, had been augmented ; the auxiliaries were Charles
Incledon, of national celebrity, Messrs. Sheppard, N. Cook,
Simes, &c. The whole of the King's band, under C. Kramer,
Esq., were on duty. Mr. Attwood governed the solemn swells
of the organ. The Psalms of the day—the 19th, 45th, and
05th, were chaunted. The re Deum, the Jubilate, the
Sanctus, &c., were as perfect as the combination of dulcet
sounds could render them ; but the effect produced by the chorus
from the Mestiah,—" Unto us a child is born," and Handel's
Hallelujah chorus, may be imagined, not expressed.

Extempore on Mr. HENRY TAYLOR, If North Shields, who
died Feb. 20, 1823, aged 6 year:.
Weep, seamen, weep, your friend is now no more ;
lair bark is moor'd safe from the ocean's roar: •
He brav'd the tempest in its direst form,_
Calm midst the thundirings,of the raging storm.
His was the task to guide your vessels right,
Through foaming seas, in winter's darksome night:
He lights projected—was the pilot brave,
To rescue seamen from a wat'ry grave.
Weep not that he bath left this world of woe.
Where troubles, trials, and where tempests flow ;
Weep for a Tar, whose eyes are clos'd to death,
Who lov'd all seamen to his latest breath.
Now o'er his grave, ye Britons, drop a tear,
His mem'ry cherish, and his name revers :
A Christian true to life's protracted end,—
True to his God, arid to mankind a Friend.

MR. EDITOR—In your Paper of Monday
evening it is stated that Mr. AnEßNATHY's.journey to the 56
mile stone on the Gloucester road, and back in 28 hours, is the
greatest performance on record, in contradiction to that I say
that FosTE3I PowELL, in the year 1786 (his age being 52
years), went on foot from Hyde Park corner to the 50 mile
stone on the Bath road, and back again in twenty-three hours
and one quarter; and that in 1787 he came from Canterbury to
London-bridge and back again, being 112 miles, five minutes
within the 24 hours • and on Monday, the 23d of August, 1790;
he started from London-bridge to 1 ork and back again, which
journey heperformed in 136 hours and 13 minutes. , The time
allowed was 138 hours. •
