DREADFUL °commaNcE.-.-On Monday even.
ing week, the house of Hugh 111u1lany, of Carrowbagh, near
Enniskrone, in the county of Sligo, was observed to be enve.
loped in flames, and In a few minutes a heap of rubbish alone
was visible. On digging in the ruins, horrible to relate, the
bodies of the unfortunate owner, his wife (far advanced in
pregnancy), and three daughters, miserably scorched, and
wholly lifeless, were discovered! A cow, heifer, and pig,
shared a like fate. SO, violent and rapid were the flames, that
the people assembled round the scene of destruction, among
whom were Mullany's two sons, were unable to render any
assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. As none of the inmates
survived, it cannot he known how the accident occurred—it is
supposed, however, that the fire communicated to some flax
which had been stored in the house, and caused the melancholy
catastrophe.
On Tuesday se'nnight, a shocking affair hap.
pened at J. Gordon's, Esq. at Iteddisham.hall, near Necks :
two of his men servants, the coachman and footman, disagreed,
when, in the irritation of passion, the coachman stabbed the
footman in the body, which occasioned his death.—(Bary Pest.)

EDINBURGH, OCT. I.—. Yesterday -forenoon,
the new AcadeMy- built by subscription, near Stockbridge,
was opened for the first time. The boys, with their teachers,
assembled in the different class-rooms at 11 o'clock, and short-
ly after proceeded to the elegant hall, of an oval shape, in the
centre of the building, the gallery and the body of which were
crowded with gentlemen' upwards of 690 of who'll were pre.
sent. The teachers took their places at a table in the centre,
and the boys were seated around them. About one o'clock
the Directors entered the hail, accompanied by a number of
gentlemen, among whom we observed, Sir Patrick Murray,
Sir John Hay, Sir, George Clerk, Sir Robert Dundas, Sir
-Henry Aloncreiff, Sir John Sinclair, Bishop Sandford,
Henry Mackenzie, Esq., James Moncreiff, Esq., Henry Cock-
burn, Esq.,V;-Mackenzie, Esq. Rev. Dr. Davidson, &c. &c.
Sir H. Moncrieff was requested by the Directors to open the
Academy by prayer. The Rev. Baronet then offered up a
most impressive and eloquent prayer for the success of the in-
stitution, which was intended for the instruction and training
of youth, and that the same good aeons might follow which
had attended the variotfa sefitiols al our. nation ; that the
youth who might be reared in successive generations in this
school might be a consolation to their fathers, and that from
this seminary men might arise who should fill stations worthy
of the education they had received; and that when the present
generation were gathered to their fathers, the institution might
ong flourish, and remain a monument of the liberality and
spirit of those who had erected it.
Sir WALTER SCOTT then rose. He said that the Di.
rectors had thought it necessary that some account of the in.
stitution should be given to the Meeting, and had im.
posed upon him that duty. He wished that such a task
had fallen to the lot of sonic other person better qualified than
he was for the performance of it, but, as it was, he would
attempt to discharge what had been imposed upon him. In
such a meeting as this he need not explain the advantages of
education, it transferred gradually one age to another, carrying
along with it all their improvements. Our ancestors little sup-
posed that we would achieve such vast and wonderful disco.
veries in every branch of science and the arts, and yet, from
the spread of education, it may. be that our successors may look
upon the 18th and 19th centuries as we do upon the 14th and
lath. He need not repeat what is well known, that we owe
much to the foresight of our ancestors, the bloody sword of
civil strife had scarcely been sheathed, when they sat down to
devise andriut in practice means for the instruction of their sue.
censors. We here are imitating their example, the bloody
sword is now sheathed, and may it long continue so, let us there.
fore go on in the work we have begun, and as it has been said
that education is a torch, let this institution be an evidence that
we have lighted it for the direction of our successors. King James,
who with all his failings did many praiseworthy actions, found-
ed the excellent school in this :city. It has become learly evi.
dent, however, that it alone is inadequate to the greafincrease of
the city, which, since the school was founded, is six times

bjjshment of this institution. With respect to the High School
it had been imagined by some that this seminary had been set
on foot for the purpose of injuringit. He had been educated in
the High School and had a veneration for it, and he was cer-
tain and confident every one connected with this institution were
actuated by no such unworthy motives as that ascribed to them.
It was to institute a rivalry-;a rivalry among scholars-A-a rivalry
among those who will one day be ornaments of the nation, and
be the best defenders of their country. The Directors would
have been well contented to have formed a union, but the obsta-
cles were of such a nature as to be insunuountable. Ile was of
edld wniotht thenod bestat
the
helm leolopueldpetittliloant wpoalulidnobreosattwenodo
helm when he saw another vessel in view. The ge-
neral necessity of the erection of this institution was
so apparent, that lie trusted the meeting would applaud those
gentlemen who had taken an active part in the management.
and also to the ateltitect for, the elegant design which he had
raised, and to those gentlemen who had gratuitously given
their time in superintending and directing the affairs of the
institution. The Learned Baronet paid a handsome compli-
ment to the talent* of the differeut teachers. The institution,
he said, were indebted to Oxford for one of her best scholars, a
gentleman in the prime of life. Scotland was particularly dis--
unguished as containing the best informed men Of any country,
but it was also remarked that she had produced few classical
scholars. It was a saying of Dr. Johnson, that she was like a
besieged city, where every man had a mouthful, but no man a
bellyful. It was surely, however, better to have a mouthful
than to starve. 'With a view to wipe off this reproach, the
Directors had made arrangements, and they trusted that by
the means they had adopted the
scholars would be better
grounded in the languages to fit them for the Universi-
ties, and particularly in a knowledge of Greek, and this
at a time when their poetry was hallowed, anti the liber-
ty of that interesting country was almost achieved. It
was also intended to improve the study of mathematics. An.
other class, which: was a new one in our seminaries, was one
of English literature, the principal object of which is to con-
nect the English with the learned languages, and by this means
the pupil would become acquainted with the history of our
country. lie highly approved of this plans it Was proper to
know the Roman and Grecian history, but the history of this
country, to our students, was of paramount interest. He
would have the names of Wallace and Bruce placed alongside'
of 31iltindes and Themistocles, and he would have Plodden and
Bannockburn placed with Marathon and Platea.—The Learned
Baronet then turned to the youth assembled, and addressed
them, pointing out the great advantages which education
held out. lie pressed upon them to prosecute their studies with
their whole souls, for unless they gave up their whole minds to
study, the labours of their teachers woull be useless. To what-
ever profession they might incline, unless they possessed learn.
ing, they could never rise to eminence. A physician without
learning, was a quack ; a lawyer without learning a mere for-
malist, and altogether unworthy of his profession ; anti a cler-
Tman without learning, was like a soldier without a sword,—
he surest road to temporal happiness was a well cultivated
mind. It' they went abroad, learning would prove a solace In
their hours of retirement. They were now entering into life,
and he trusted they would remember that a man not young in
Year endeavoured to impress upon their minds the value and
importance of education. The learned Baronet was frequently
applauded in the course of his speech, and sat down amid loud
cheering,
The Rev. J. AVIT.LIAMS, the Rector TOM He said that,
after the eloquent prayer, and the luminous explanation they
had heard, nothing but an official call would have induced him
to intrude upon the attention of the meeting, to endeavour to
give a faint outline of the study to be followed. To imbibe in
the minds of the students a love of the classics of Greece and
Rome, who had left imperishable monuments for the imitation
and instruction, not only of our age, but of all nations, to teach
them to imitate the intellectual giants who have gone before us,
would be the objects of their utmost attention. It was intend.
ed to make Latin the groundwork of their instruction. They
were not to make any innovation, but surely the coun-
try of Crichton and Buchanan should be eminent in Latin
Literature. They were to teach Greek by means of the
Englis it by a h language,
an4not by the method now followed of
teachingjargon. The English language was to
be attended to by a gentleman who was to teach its principles.
In all the branches he trusted they were so complete, that they
might be said to be a self-contained house.—(Applause.)—
From what he had seen of his coadjutors, he felt assured, that
the subscribers would not be disappointed. in the formation of
the Academy. One boon he asked, that the public would not
be hasty in their censure or their applause. He trusted, that
in a short time, the Academy would not shrink in a comparison
with the greatest Institutions in the south, not even with Eton
or the Charter House, and that it would be the means of re-
viving the days of Crichton and of Buchanan. He hoped that
the genius of the Scottish youth, which has reposed in the
portico of Grecian literature, will be awakened, and proceed
into the interior of the temple. lie flattered himself, that those
educated in this place, would shed a lustre on it,
classic.—(Applause.)—Ile then addressed the youths, assuring
them, that nothing should be wanting on his part to render
and render it
them a credit to the country to which they belonged.
Mr. HENRY MACKENZIE briefly addressed the meeting,
but in so low a tone, that he was inaudible to the greater part
of the meeting.
The boys then retired to their class rooms, after which the
meeting broke up.

On Tuesday ---
evening three trunks were stolen
from Hawkins's Bristol coach ; and on the following day two
of them were found under a hay-rick at Brislington. One had
been cut open, and cash, notes, wearing and apparel, value up-
wards of 1004 taken out.—(Gloriceitcr Herald.)

Plurnix Park, Sept. 25, 1824.
Sin—l have to acknowledge the honour of the connnunica.
tion which you have transmitted to me, on behalf of the Mem,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce of Belfast.

I beg that you will allow me to offer, through you, my best
thanks for that communication. No Administration can be in-
different to such an expression of approbation of their measures,
on the part of a Society of Gentlemen whose interests those
measures affect, and whose intelligence gives value to their
judgment.
I hope I need not add, that I am duly and deeply sensible of
the expression of your kindness towards myself.
The shortness of my stay in this country, which I must leave
(vegy reluctantly) to-morrow, renders it. unnecessary for me to
offer any apology for not availing myself of your flattering in-
vitation.

It would have been a great pleasure to me to witness the
prosperity of your town—a prosperity which, I trust,. will lung
progressively increase.
I have the honour to be, with great respect, Sir,
Your moat obedient and faithful Servant.

Chamber of Commerce, Belfast.

OUTRAGE ON COUNT SAN ANTONIO

MARLIMR otrorr-STREET.—Yesterday a charge appeared
entered in the watch-book of St. George's parish, Hanover.
square, against John Chitty, for assaulting a watchman, and
Robert Alsebrook, for endeavouring to rescue Chitty from the
custody of the watchman.
Lacy, a patrol, and Fox, a watchman, in Bond-street, stated
that they were conveying Chitty, who had assaulted Lacy, and
knocked him down, to the watch-house, about ten o'clock the
night before, when Alsebrook came up, and attempted to res-
cue him; they could not, however, state any act or expression
of his which could spew a disposition in him to do so.
Alsebrook, in his defence, gave the case a very different com-
plexion. He stated, that as he was going towards his master's
(Count St. Antonio's) house in Hanover-square, where he is in
service as footman, he saw a man in the custody of the watch-
man Fox, and at the instant Lacy, the patrol, came running
up, and struck the man a desperate blow on the back with a
bludgeon; he (Alsebrook) remonstrated against such unneces.
sary violence, and asked what the man had done, but in no
other manner did he Interfere; when he was seized upon by
the two watchmen, and dragged off to the watch-house; while
going along, he told them whose servant he was, and requested
they might let him go, as he had done nothing; and just at
this time his master, Count St. Antonio himself, came up, and
asked what was the matter, and they (the watchmen) also took
him to the watch-house; but .when they got there, there was no
charge made against the Count.
Count St. Antonio being sworn, said, that as he was crossing
from Brook-street towards his own house in Hanover-square,
he saw a crowd of persons, and thinking that lie heard the voice
of one of his servants, he went up, and saw Alsebrook, his
footman, in custody ; lie inquired what was the matter, and
what his servant had done, and said, that if he had committed
any offence, or tnisconducted himself, by all means to take him
to the watchhouse. These two watchmen, however, would give
him no answer or explanation, but said if he did not go about
Isis business, they would take him to the watchhouse too. He
told them who he was, said that the man was his servant, and
he merely wanted to know what he had done, in order that he
might bail bins or not, according to the nature of the offence
instead, however, of giving him any satisfaction upon the sub-
ject, Lacy called out to the other watchman to take care of
the other prisoner behind," meaning the Count himself, he sup.
posed; and he was taken with the others to the watchhouse,
but there was no charge preferred against him ; and dashing
that his servant had been really guilty of no offence, he became
responsible for his appearance.
The watchmen denied that they took the Count into custody
at all ; but said that he went voluntarily to the watchlouse,
and ased the Count, if he was a gentleman, to speak the truth,
and say did they even lay a hand on him.
Count St. Antonio said that they certainly did not lay hold
of him; but be considered himself just as much a prisoner as
if they had.
• Mr. Davie, a gentleman who was accidentally passing at the
time attended at the office to give his testimony. Hermit!, that
he had seen the whole transaction from the beginning, and the
account given by Count St. Antonio and his servant was cor.
rect. The c,ontlict of the watchmen, he said, was scandalous,
particularly Lacy, who, in the most wanton manner, struck the
prisoner Chitty a desperate blow, after he was in custody.
Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, said, that this was a case oras
gross misconduct on the part of watchmen as ever came before
him at this office. Whatever cause . there might have been for
taking the prisoner Chitty into custody in the first instant, there
could be none at all for striking him in the brutal manner that
was described, after he was secured; and, in consequence of
this brutality towards him, he should now discharge him al-
together from the charge of assault. As regarded the servant of
Count St: Antonio, there did not appear to be a shadow of folio.
dation for the charge of rescue made against bins, or for taking
him to the watchhouse; and the conduct of these watchmen was
most scandalous in taking him into custody in the manner they

Count Si. Antonio now Interfered, and
Magistrate might do away with the suspension against Lacy.
Ile was, the Count said, highly satisfied with the investigation
that had taken place, and the justice done to himself anti his
servant, and he did not wish the watchmen to suffer through his
means, more than the reprimand they had received. He there-
fore.should feel obliged if the Magistrate would restore Lacy to
his situation.
Mr. DYER said, that as it was the Count's request, he should
do so, and Lacy ought to feel muchobliged for the lenity shown
to him ; and he trusted it would in future, be a warning to him
how he conducted himself. Lacy was then restored, for which
he expressed his gratitude to the Count and the Magistrate,
and acknowledged that he had acted very wrong, but should
take care not to do so again.

ROBBERY IN HYDE•PARK.—Tuesday evening,
about eight o'clock, a most impudent robbery was committed
near the statue of Achilles, In Ilyde.park. A gentleman
named Mackenzie, residing in Portland-street, Oxford-street,
was passing through to Knightsbridge, when a fellow came up
to him and requested to know if his name was Orchard. Mr.
Mackenzie replied in the negative, upon which the other re.
joined, " You are a liar, for your name to Orchard," and so
saying gave a whistle. In a moment he was joined by two
others, who began to strike Air. Mackenzie with their lists.—
Mr. M. ran away, but when he reached his friend's house at
Knightsbridge, he found he had been robbed of his watch and
silver snuff.box by the assailants. Mr. Mackenzie gave imme-
diate information at all the Police Offices of the circumstances,
with a description of the thieves, and we understand one of
them is well known to the officers.

We mentioned in our last, that a respite was
received at llertford gaol for Davis and "'orris,
Davis, it appears, is respited until the 3d day of
January next, and Harris, alias Long Ned, during
his Majesty's pleasure. Both of these persons,
it will be remembered, were convicted at the last
Assizes with a man of the name of. Green, for the
burglary at Earl Cowper's stewards.—(Bucks
Chronicle.)
