READIAC, Ocr. z.

YrstreDAY evening a splendid Ball was given
by the Crown Country Club. The Style of -this
perhaps exceeds every other entertainment that has
teen held in tier Town-hall.—Upon entering the
room the eyes or the company were highly gratified
with the brilliant Alegory that deCorated the Hall ;
end whilst the eye was employed in exarninit'lg the
splendour of the Illumination, it conveyed" to the
heart the highest sensation of gratitude by the Con-
templation of AnbiNOTOile and PEACE, delineated
in coloured lamps of the most lively hue, the light
of which Seemed to be still more' augmented by the
variegated festoons that hung in elegant simplicity
ot, the opposite side. At the head of the room was
a star of themosti rilliant colours, with the letters
G. and R. on either side. At the bottom was seen
a beautiful transparency, over which glittered the
word Peace, gracefully. ornamented with its
emblems. The olive branch indeed was inter-
mixed through the different parts of the room with
great taste: Magnificent as this preparation intik
appear, it howeVer received fresh lustre from the
numerous assembly of the most elegant personages.
We cannot adequately describe the gratification that
shone on the countenance of every one, on witness-
ing the attendance of Mr. ADIIiisTGTON.
At one the company retired 'to supper, when two
rooms were prepared with the utmost taste,and ele-
gance, for theoreception of the guests. Mr. DUN-
"DAs proposed the toast of His MAJESTY, which
was drank with all that expression of loyal affedion
which charalerizes the British Nation. The QuEEN
an 1 RoYAL and FAMILY were toasted with equal
ardour. The health of. Mr. AniiierdroN. being
drank with that enthusiasm of respell, and at-
feCtion, which his enclitic and private virtues
have produced,
_he rose, and assured the company:
that the blessings of Peace, which he had been
a happy instrument of procuring to his Country,
were the effect Of the vigour and wisdom of His
,Majesty's Councils, the firmness and intrepidity of
the Parliament, and the steady loyalty of the Pooplt
of England. Addressing himself more particularly
to the meeting, he said that the only circumstance
which he had to regret in consequence of his present
important office, was
.the necessity that 'separated
him and, his family frotrea 'county and neighbour_
hood, for which he should never cease"to feel the
warmest attachment and the firmest regard. He
embriced with pleasure every oppDrtunity Gf corlti-
,nuing his conneelion with them, and felt a more
than common satisfadion in meeting
,theM on the
present occasion.

Mr. NEVIT was then called upon for a song,
whose alacrity in obliging, as well as superiority
in performing, plainly proved that his heart was
interested in the subjed of his Muse, which was
well adapted to . the present occasion. He then
favoured the company with God save the King, in
full chorus ; and by the particular entreaty of Mr.
ADDINGTON sung another song, to the no small
satistaCtion of his auditors. Many other public
coasts received due honour, and morning dawned
Upon. the festive band before they separated.

'WINCHESTER, Ocr. 2.

The 4th, or King's own Regiment, whom it was
expeCted would have been discharged on the z7th
instant, were paraded on that day, and informed,
by his Excellency General CRAIG, that they were
to remain embodied till the expiration of the fin,
years.

Wednesday morning, while .a...boy about seven
or eight . years of. age,. was diverting himself on
an eminence at the foot of the Drygate, Glasgow,
where some large stones were piled up, he un-
fOrtunately fell, when, before he could recover:
himself, one of the stones rolled upon his head; and -
crushed him in such a manner as to occasion his'
death. in a few minutes after being taken home.

About twelve o'clock on Thursday •night, a
nvit, in the height of a fever, threw himself out
at a window three stories high, in the entry lead.'
ing to the College Church, High Street, Glasgow,
and almost instantly eXpired.

Ox Tuesday last a yontig man, 'genteelly dressed,
%srent, into the Inn at Raslin,and got breakfast, after
.which he told the Landlord he would take a walk,
and be baCk to dinner. He returned most purenally,
dined, and drank a bottle of 'Madeira, after which
he again walked out, leaving. word he would return
in a short time. The Landlord, however, had be-
gun ro entertain some suspicion of his guest, and
accordingly ordered a servant' to follow him at a
distance. He did so, and soon' observed he was
making oiT;,upon which the servant run up to him,
• and asked why he was going away without paying
his bill. The fellow, without answering a word,
imniedin.rely pulled two pistols from his pocket,
add attempted to fire one of them at the servant,.
but providentially it ,mssed fire, and the •servant
instantly ran forward' and seized him.
.He was brought to town on Wednesday, and
cointnitted.to prison. It is% reported he has been
concerned in some of the robberies lately perpetrated
in this city and neighbourhood, and that he has also
committed some swindling' tricks about the town 9f
-Dtilkeith. But probably these are merely reports.
We are informed his father is a man of "trust re.
speaable charaaer in this city, and that he has
formely
,suffered severely by the conduft -of this
prodigal son. •

In Haddington Market, yesterday, wheat arid
oats were nearly as .last week; barley, pease, and
beans about lower.
On Ttiesday.,se'nnight, tt-as committed
to Clitsgow prison,' by sentence of the Justices of
the Peace, • until he paid Isl. los. of damages,
fine and etpences, for resisting and biting 'with his'
teeth a toll-gatherer in the neighbourhood of
Glasgow, when endeavouring to weigh his loaded
cart, in order to ascertain the tolf•dues, in terms
of the Apt of Isarliament, and of the instruaiOns of
the Trustees ;-,-..and fanner in 'the neighbourhood,
for aiding and abetting the carter, and kicking anti
abusing the toll-gatherer and his assistant, when in
the execution of their duty on the aboVe occasion,
was lately found liable in damages, fine and . ex.
pences, to the amount of it:l. ras. in each of two
aEions at the instance of them and the Procurator
Fiscal of the Peace, and sentenced to be impriioned
till payment ; which last-mentioned sentences were
affirmed, with .costs, on appeal to the late Circuit
Court at Glasgow, and the .sums have since been
paid.
On thez rst Jilt. a very alarMing fire took place
at Foehabers. A little before .'eight o'clock at
night, the stable, etc„of IVIr.-Smitx,'vintner, were
discovered to be on fire. 'Upon the alarm bell being
tong, immediate assistance was given, both-by the
inhabitants of the town and' neig-hboahood, who
exerted themselves in the most aai-ve manner, 'yet
it was with the greasest difficulty, from the rage of
the flames, any of the range of buildings could be
saved, and, next. to a miracle, the horses were got
out with safety, the stables being involved in flames
before assistance, could be given. Great praise
justly due to both the inhabitants and neighbour.-
hood of Fochahers, for their spirited exertlon, as.,
not only Mr. SNirrit's house was in immediate dan-
ger, but di-it whole quarter of the town.

DUBLIN; SEPT. '3O.

Yesterday, being Mithaelmas.day, the Right
Hon. the

Graves. •

roole, was sworn into office, before his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant, at the Castle,.

As were also Drury Jones and, George .Walsh,
Esqrs.(as High Sheriffs; before the Recorder, at the
SessiOns:house.

This day his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant ar-
rived in town after his excursion to the South. The
necessity of being present at the ollhiai induif.lion of
the New Lord Mayor, accelerated his return, and
prevented many parts of The South the gratification
of a visit from a Viceroy so deservedly popular,H
A morning print states that her Excellency Lady
Hardwicke was detained at Killarney, by indisposi.
tion, but we hope the statement is erroneous, and if
not, that the amiable COunoss will soon return in.
reestablished health, to the citizens of Dublin to
whom her many virtues
,have rendered her justly
dear.

Tuesday last, a Court of Proprietors was held 'at
the Bank of Ireland, .whert Mr. Pim gaVe notice,

Tuesday morning, very early, 'a horse was found
dead upon Ormond-quay, Lnoar, thel:Coal-quay-
bridge with his throat cut ha had a saddle upon
-him,-and a portmaiiidau ; th:2 latter hadlieen cut,
it
.appeared, • and' rifled; yet a nurnbersiof papers of
different kinds were fou•nd, - s'ine of which were-
direeted, we hear, to a Colonel C-c, It is sup-
posed the rider' of the animal was murdered, but
who he was is not yet ascertained. The papers
found where the horse lay dead .were lodged in the
hands of a city Magistrate, and the affair yet re-
mains a horrifying mystery.
In consequence of information being lodged
against them,' for combination,' five, persons, who
are burners of cork_wood and cork-cutters, were
apprehended by Alderman jenkios on Tuesday
night, at ten o'clock, in .New-row on the Poddle,
