daughter since she was committed.

DUBLIN, MAY 4.

Ttit weather has been for some time past so un-
commonly fine, that abundant as 'the last Harvest
was, the ensuing one promises to be even more
produelive. The Merchants' Corps of-Yeomanry,
commanded by Captain STANLEY, had a most
splendid dinner few days ago at the Commercial
BUildings Coffee-house, in hot-Jour of Lord PEL-
HAM'S birth-day, tinder whose auspices that loyal
body of men, the Yeomanty of Ireland, first dis-
played that galiantry-,and courage by which Ireland
was preserved during the late unhappy contest.
After dinner, many loyal and patriotic toasts were

WICKLOW ASSIZES, APRIL 24..

LORD ALDBOROUGH'S WILL.

. Tx Is day came on to be tried before the Hon.
saron Smith, and a most respeEtable Special Jury,
an EjeEttnent brought by Lord Aldborough, to re-
cover a very considerable Estate in this Coun-
ty, devised by the late 'Earl to - his Countess,
with whom, as he expresses himself in his will,
he had passed the most happy period of his life,
rnd by whose' portion, ;o,o°ol. he had been
raised from indigence to affluence. The question
turned solely on the due execution of his Lordship's
Will.. Two of the subscribing Witnesses, Mr.
Ashford and Major Harris, swore to the fart; but
the third, James IVlolyneux, said, he did not see
The testator either sign, seal, or publish the instru-
ment to which he had put his name as a Witness.
The Will was all his Lordship's hand-writing ; 'and
it appeared on the cross-examination of Mr. Moly-
neux, that he, immediately after the death of the Earl,
had written a letter, giving a very different account
of the translaion from what he had sworn .on his
direa examination :—This inconsistence of course,
invalidated his evidence ; and the Jury, after about 5
zni mites, found for the Will, by which the estate is
secured to the Dowager. Countess. The Learned
Judge perfeetly concurred in the verdifi;- and every
auditor in the Court expressed approbation. . That
such 'a question should occupy fourteen hours, is
sufficient to caution personS of landed property to he
:careful whoM they call upon to attest their last will.

The Pantomime of Harlequin Greenlander, per.
forming at the New Theatre, • Sadler's Wells,
possesses some/uncommon traits of satirical humour.
The Prize Cattle Mania/ is well hit, and there is
an Azcellent burlesque of the Turret Scene in Blue
Beard. The new Piece of Speed the Plough brings
plenty of grist to the mill, and gives an uncommon
treat in the Exhibition of M. Otto's House illu-
minated, as we lrave before observed. The Dance
of the Millers receives increased applause; and the
whole of the Entertainments, together with the
beautiful appearance of the House, attraas crowded
Audiences every evening.
