IM PRO VEMENTS about the METROPOLIS.

-GUILDHALL.—The interior of the City Hall is'
now in a better state than it has been (luring-many
years. The antiquity' of the Guildhall has received
a new face. The arms of Edward the Confess'or,
a►nd the shield of Edward the Third, are made
new aMI brilliant, as they were in the, days of
those Princes. The arms of the City, and the
several Companies, also appear to the best ad-
vantage; and the several arniorial hearings of the
driferent Monarchs who have conferred benefits
on the citizens of London, are clearly made out
as the same stood Originally on the cornices. The'
only objection to the new entrance leading to the
Courts and City Chatz►tier is, that it is not wide
enonglL Beckford's monument is placed in a
good situation. Those finely carved but dispro.'
portioned figures, the Giants, are now elevated
on pillars it► the angles of the West window,where
they form a• good ornament. At present there is
no cluck i❑ the Hall, but we suppose one will be
put up as a matter of course.

MILLBANK.—The bank broken, so as to pro-
duce inundation near the Penitentiary House at
Millbank, has been repaired, in pursuance of the
directions of.Qovernment, and a -slim voted for
that purpose last Session of'ParliaMent. A three
feet brick wall extends along the bank to within
a short distance of the Vauxhall Bridge, and when
the terrace within the avail is laid level, it will
turns an agreeable promenade. The works of the
Penitentiary House go on with great rapidity. It
seems: a town within its walls. New extensive
buildingsare erecting in addition to the large edi-
fice flanked with towers', the exterior of whiclrwas
lately finished. .Three'ot the arches of the Vaux-
hall Bridge are formed by hour work, and, in
short, the great number of hands employed in
that ritrrter, cannotlail in making daily progress
to the works.

.The fine ornaments about the exterior. of So-
merset House are shortly to be. brushed up, and
put
in clean condition.

• The new opening in front of Callton House
piwseeds with great dispatch. St. Alhan's
Tavern that was, and another house;- are all that
renkain standing on the west side of St..Albates-
trect.

SPECIAL SESSIONS UNDER TUE INSUIIItiXTIbN ACT

AT CI,O.\.NIEL.

On Thursday last the Special Sessions tinder tl►e
Inst;trection Act bei►►; adjourned I'rou► the City.
of Cashel to Clon►uel; the:public business was pro-
ceeck.d upon lelore Mr. Serjeant Mane Ei the As.-
sistant Barrister, and a full Bench of Magistrate-8.

The proceedings are voluminously reported in tlit!
Ctonnie herald; and as they are too ifflportaut
to suffer from any coutraction, we therefore have

reserved them for our ensuing publication.
At present, we shall content oirridves with
briefly observing, that the business of the Court
and the serious and awful duty confided to it by
the country, ►sere trausacted in all respects with
suitable solemnity, Wisdoni, and justice. The
Learned Serjeant who presided judicially, diS-
played, with peculiar advantage to the public', his
sound and useful abilities ; and the trilils which
took place, were, during their process, as inr-
p•ressive and affecting upon the minds of the crowd
of spectators which the occasion bad attracted, as
could be desired.

•.
Three men were convicted of those crimes
which have so long afflicted' and scandalized the
country ; and they hod, immediately after con-
viction, the sentence of the law pronounced
against them,' and carried forthwith into exe-
cution. They were taken trot.n'the Dock, under
'l4 military escort, to he conveyed to the pri6o.ll-
- at Gork, from whence they are to be trans-
ported to Botany Bay for seven years.—(Dublin
Correspondent, Oct. 9.)
_

They who so imperatively counsel the Govern-
ment to expend some of the present season in
inquiring into the causes of the disturbances in
the south, .have not, 'perhaps, considered with
sufficient circumspection, what the result is likely.
Atmands in this respect be
to be, should their co
complied with. By all means, let the causes, be
the subject of investigation ; but let not this pro-
cess be attempted, until the weapon be wrung
from the Insurgents' hands. Let it be commenced
under no truce—no compromise, with systematic
outrage, bearing all the lineaments and features.
of rank rebellion ; hut let it commence when the
public authority shall have asserted itself when
the law Anil have recovered its ordinary effi-
ciency; when Justice shall be.. satisfied with the
atonement made for horrible outrages, tending to
ultimate evils of the most abotninable.nature.

Where the punctltin,slaus is to be sougia.for, at
which inquiry should commence, is likely to be a
question of some argument ;• but We hope to be
able hereafter to give some ;Assistance in the ad-
justment of that question, the indispensible. im-
portance of which is so earnestly pressed upon

(From the lieffast \'eu•s-Lettci).

TO THE EDlTOR,—AitiioOgil the following .stanzas do not
glow.with the same living fire which shone through the cele-
brated letter from Watetford, which aPpeared iu t he' Pillar's

WATEurottu, I.l.—Never did more real courage
skLie on the whole trout, than glinted through this child of
irrt,nd mid his mho:talons.. Hundreds crowded around him
to steal a glance at the Pillar of their hopes. After bidding
farewell to Mr. Fitzpatrick,-he mounted the coach toproceell
to the place v'meeting• appointed. He may fall,-but a resus-
citating spirit is still in Ireland—be may triumph, but his pa-

See the bright Heroes of Erin advaticing,
Majestic,•etfulgent, two pillars of tire ;
Their eyes like the meteors of night brightly glancing.,
AR brilliant with valour,•ail flashing with ire.
Shop-boys of Waterford,
(Hereafter called Slaughterford)
And you too, Fitzpatrick, shall cherish their fame;
Peel and Saxton ye martyrs,
You have caught pretty Tartars,
O'Connell and •Lidwill, our pillars of dame.

Thcrmay fall—but their spirit shall still live in Erin;
triumph—but never change colour or tone;
They may tall—but the lipstatt's they say are unerring;
They nay triumph—bum still the white feaihee's their own;
Ye runners of Bow-stract,
Though living in no street—
You.know where they're going--yem know whence they came.;
Loud, loud blow each horn, boys,
• Every. Justice forewary, buys,
Oh ! save from disaster our pillars of 'flame. •
•
All flashing like lightning, all growling like thunder,
O'er the. dal k streets or Lwinton indignant they broke;
Old women and school-boys were struck dumb vit h wonder,
When sudden the lightning all vanished in smoke. •
. Far from going to Pover,
They were duly bound over;
But their tune and their colour shall still be the same;
They shall promise to tight, boys,
And still show the white, boys,
And still be our heroes—and pillars of flame.

Behold the same heroes of Erin returning,
Oh ! vote to their valour a morsel of plate;
Though their eye-halls no more in their sockets are burOing,
Though extinguish -1.71 their dame, their expenses were great.
Think of those who hare puffed them,
Think of those who have situfjed them—
What editors—runners—their gratitude claim
For they never would brace all,
Unless sure that a save-all
Would secure the last Hash of our pillars of flame,
A FLASEIMAN.

There is a grand dispute on the topis just now-,.
whether 'Mrs. Maapvti, who has lately appeared
at Drury-lane Theatre, dresses like_ a Lfily of
Quality and Fashion, or like a modest ?
We propose a mixed jury of young Methodist
Preachers and London Milliners to decide 'this
lawny and important question.
'Die Commissioners for the Redemption of the.
National Debt, now puichast upwards of 100,0001.
Stock daily, which will he increased to nearly
150,0001. next quarter, commencing the Ist of
November ;--if to this is added the savings of the
Public, which an able financier has estimated at
twenty-five millions per amity), and we include
the indemnity of nine millions from France, the
aggregate would buy up, at the present price of
the Funds, fiearly ninety millions of stock before
next Michaelmas ; which .could not tail to raise
Ct,usols 30 per cent. Probably Mr. 131sti anti_
ciliated these immense operations, when he con-
tracted with Government to furnish the foi'tunate
purchasers in this Lottery with Stock at 56, thus
securing to them the atfyantage of all the rise
but this, in human probability, will never occur
again, and is the first tithe that ever a Lottery
pos.scssed three Prizes or- 500,0001. and four
.frizes of 20,0001, which may all be drawn 7th
November. -
