great exertions, was given with three.

Flour Es addressed the Meeting, and said,
itafforded him real gratification to find the exec_
dons 'of himself and colleagues were so. favourahly
received; he and his family were very,' warmly
attached to Mr. Burdon, not froth anY.particular.im.
tiniacy which had subsisted betweenthemi but from

. Mr. ATCHESON'S health, as first promoter of,.the
London Address to Mr. BURDON, was next given.
Mr. ATCHESON thanked the Cornpany'fot the
honour they had so unexpectedly conferred upon-him
by drinking his health in so.fiattering a manner.--.
It was, he said, with conscious pride he took credit
to 'himself for having first prothoted the London
Address to "Mr. BURDON ; afterwards, his exer-
tions were trifling compared to those 'of his two
worthy Colleagues, Mr. I3RAMWELL and Mr.
1-lAwx.Es, to whom Mr;BuaDON's friends and the
County in general were-much indebted on this Oc-.
casion.
.Mr.-ATCHESON then took a.review of Mr.,
BCRDON'S aflions from his first eleaion, which'
shewed•the propriety of the choice they then made;.
as Mr. BURDON'S exertions had exceeded their'rnosi
.sanguine wishes.
That the Shipping and Mercantile Interest of the
County, in'particular, were greatly indebted to Mr.
BURDON, and the result of their Elealon would be
to them.a proud and glorious triunsph; as it conso.:
lidated and established their influence and interest
where 'before they were considered to have had
none ; and, he said, he trusted-that in future the Land.
ed, Shipping, and Mercantile Interest of that Coun-
fy would be united and form a Colossus of strength
too firm ever to be'shook or overturned.

He took occasion to express his satisfaCtion at the
presence of the Chairman, Sir FRED. M. ElsE N, who,
he-said, was one of the descendants of Ar. EDEN,
who with a few other independent Freholders, had
obtained the eleCtive ,franchise for tllat County;
and he mentioned a few circumstancediat tending that
event.

The Chairman then gave several other Toasts,
among `which_ were the following :

The memory of those brave men who so nobly fought' and
died in the service of their King and Country during the late
War.

The Naval and Military Heroes who so gloriously
.distin-
guished themselves durifts the late War.
The Hero iaptcre, Sit Sidney Smith.,

DUBLIN, JULY 22.

IN consequence of the notice issued brthe'HiOr
Sheriffs, a Court was yesterday held in the Sessir
House in Green-street, :for; the purpose of c:,_iling
two Citizens to serve inParl.tainetrt for this City.
On the arriyalof the several Candidates,
, CHARLES
.Esci. raise-rand called the at-
tention of the Eleetors2to Thai late Representatives-,
Mr. •BERESFORD and Mr:OGLE, who had dis-
charged the thist cOnfided in them with unimpeach-
ble integrity and. liononr. It was, he said, the
duty of the Citizens of Dublin to reward those qua-
lities when they had' been disPliyed in their Ser-
vice, and 'confidin'ras he did in their justice arid
consistency; 'he begged leave again to recommend
them to their support. •

The Right Ifon: the LOR ErMAtolt, rose-to sup-
port the nomination of Mr. OcL E: •

W. CoLvILLE,,Esq..in a handsome and appro.,
priate speeCh, proposed J. LATOUCHE, jun. Esq..
JONAH BARRINGTON, ',Esq. was proposed by
HENRY GRATTAN, Esq. and the motion was second-
ed ,by . ,

. , ~ •
Mr. GEORGE P.:INSON BY, whocomplimented the
public spirit, Odependent cond:let," 'and
,political
purity of Mr. BARB tTOTON.
On the usual reference to a sheiv of hands, the
Sheriff declared in favoUr of Messrs. BERESFORD
and; LAToUtkir ; a, poll, however, was demanded
by, the-other-Candidates and their friends. . •
In the course Of polling, Mr. Gi FF:AR v objeaed to
the competence lof Mr. Grattan; who was about to
vote for,Mr. Barri?gton, on the score of having been
;disfranchised in the year 1798. (Mr. Beresforil and
Wir.Ogreiverally declined taking cialiantAge of such
-an incident). Mr. Giffard periisted, not on the part,
of either Gen liernadhe alledgecblittt On the part of the-
Freemen of Dublin, and in support of .their rights..

Mr. GR: TTAN, iuruly, expressed tlie satisfac.'
iion he felt at conceivii-4:this unwarrantable Objec-
tion did not otigiaate w•itliicthe respeetable
.date in whose "support it ~.7'was apparently made.,
rihouih circumstane:es had-Tendered it impossible
for hint to cc:tlesce with tiVm in Politics, yet he
felt a pleasure which he cot.ld notdescribe, in re-
fle;aing that he still enjoyed a share of their esteem.
Mr. Grattan proceeded ,to sh6v by inference erom
established precedents and legal authorities, that he
could not haye been disfranchised.

After some argument; in, whith Mr. GEQRGE
PONSO'NBY'S observation was objetaed to, the -Att
of Parliament precluding-allinterference from Law-
yers; Mr. GkATTAN'S. competence as an Eledor.
was established, the AEt of his Disfranchisement
not haiiti been recorded in the original Hall, and
his name still standing on the Records in the Town
Clerles Office.

The polrnow commenced, agreeably to a resolu.
tion among the Candidates, of polling only a cer-
tain number, on the first day.

The weather was very unfavourable, being vein
cold and damp, but 'the name of the PRINCE, who
had not,honoured the Gardens for these'seved years
before, at traCted a full Garden, anci.pacticularlY

At one. o'clock the Proprietors reeeived.st• letter
from the PRINCE, saying, he was so extremely in
disposed that he could not ,possibly atiendi- which
being made knovvn to the Dlitchess‘ of DEVONSHIRE,
and his particiihr 'circle of frietid:who;* were en-
gaged to sup with him, they sat dOwn to
_a most
sumptu3us supper, which had been provided by the;
ProprietOrs at,a great expence—it consisted of every
delicacy die season affords. A large party of the
Guards Were-stationed on the outside 'of the Gar_:
dens, and the Bow-street Office'rs and Police Patiole

give any encouragement to' such

SI NCI/ L Alt CHARACTER.---The person known by
the name of 11/1..1)E VER DION, *iVIIOID almost every
one -must .have remembered aboUt the' streets of
London, for a great- number of years; wearing a
little bag ' wig, and a large cocked ha.; and car-
rying .an- umbrella; died last week of -a caficer:inT,,:
the breast, being it appears, a. female; though she
alwayS wore a 'masculine habit. By papers isund
in her. apartments, it seems -she was the natural
daughter of: a former KING of PRUSSIA, and came
to England with Madame. Scrivi ELL ENB EAG, MiS-
11:ESS of the robes to HER MAJESTY. It is, understood.
she' was. once in- possession of
,property to the
=bunt- of -8-0001. which, trusting in the hands.a.,
.a foreign Banker.. who failed, she entirely lost.
She
„afterwards obtained a genteel subsistence
chiefly by 'translating ocrrnan—but for some time
previous, to her 4leath,. in
,consequerce of her
,in-
creasing infirmities, . she . was nearly reduced

fore
,her death the tortures arising ,froin her dis-
order, which she had longendured without co m_
plaint, induced her to reveal her Ifit9tiori and her
sex- to
,a • German Physician who .lodged in the
house where she resided, and who not only faith-
fully kept the .secret; butsprocured Jot* her' frOmi
some German ''friends a .liberal subscrii,tion,
which rendered the stnall-remnant of-her life as
fort4le , as. the nd tU re of her, situation would fiklinit..
In her lodgings a number of .valuable suits of clothes
'haite been -found, in
.which. she used, till I,Vithin.
these few years, to attend at COUrt, on gala days, in,
the male charaaer, having never been, known in any"
other since her residence in this country, except' to
her patroness.; her external form„ way, ho,,vever,
such as almost to have caused a suspicion of the real

its. usual paraphernalia, was whimsically grOtescre.'
By. a Paper- found _on her table,. she has ,bequcathea.

There can be no reason why a •body of Artist%

EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.•—A considerable num_
ber of E;gyptian Antiquitiei were last week brought
to "the • British Museum. They were colleted by
the French, during their . stay in Egypt,: and
were 'sent on board a 'vessel for the purpose of
being conveyed, to France. The vessel was taken

ancient Statues, some with the heads of animals

Among these rarities is an enormous hand-of gra-
