THE return of this Gentleman to Ireland seems.
to have been attended with circumstances very Bat-
wing to his feelings ; be appears !c., have been every

-satisfaaion which seeromo prevail upon his advance.
ment to-those situations to which His Majesty has been
pleased to call him—having taken the Northern route
home, in Order to inspeet some :improvements which
have been invented by us in &unfit), branches of the
Machinery, and in the Linen Manuladure, be was
enabled to communicate the result of the experiments
he had witnessed this side the water to the most emi.
bent persons concerned in that trade in Ireland, dur..
ing his progress through the. Province of Ulster, the
principal seat of the Manufaelure ; and these, we are
happy to add, have been generally considered to pro.
mise.them much public advantage. At Dundalk, the
Assize Town of the County of Louth, he arrived the
day pre Aous to the Eleftion ; and although it was
well understood that no opposition would take place
on the occasion, yet_ we are told that he was attended
to a crowded, hustings by alMost every Gentleman
of rank and property in the County.. His re.elec.
tion over, he prOceeded to Dublin, where all til,e
Public Bodies, but particularly those conneqed with
the Mercantile Interests, seem to have gathered
round him, each as if emulous to exceed the other in
'expressions of the public suffrage in his favour—
among
.'them we have given, in the front of our Pa.' '
per, the Addresses of the City, in its corporate ca.
pacity, the_ Merchants, and .the Members of the
Linen Trade.

• The
,Speech delivered by Mr. HENRY THORN-
TON, on Tuesday last, at Freema,ons' Hall, as
Chairman of Mr. _NIA wmt NG'S Committee, forms.
a very striking contrast with the speeches ut-
tered. at the Meetings held, by tt,e friends: of
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Mr. THOR NTDN's arL
dress was marked by Gentlemanly langUage, as
Well as. sound Con.titutional principles. lie de-
tailed the htb•iriess of ,the Meeting with the utmost
candour and persOctiity, and while he reptobated
the %erb improper conductof the opposite party, he
displayed! not e of that, vehemence, acrimony, and
virulence which hon. uniformly marked the
rangues of the.opposite Such is the difference
between Gentlemen and real F, lends to their Conn
try, and the Zealots of Party and Pander, of the
Mob.

The impudent description which the French give
of us, in calling. us a Nation of Shlkeeperr, was An.
ticipited by ADOisoN, who however intended to
pay a due tribute to our commercial pre-eminence.
‘4 Fleets of Merchantmen," says he, " are so many
sqo .drone of fioating shops, that vend our warts and
manufaihreer in al the markets of the
.world, and
find out i'haprnen under both the tropics."
It is said that there is no truth in the Nevispiper
report at the marriage of Lord hARDLEY with
CItiLDERs.

Colono the Earl of CALEDON to be Colonel et that

wendtit-CA. GIORGE Pfiturs, Commander
'of the First B tttali oi of the Fourth Class of !Ulan_
chester and• Salford Volunteer Intantry, on Wednes,
day last, r tiered to theirconsideration the folloWing
question, viz. " Whether, • in the event Of an In-
vasion, they were willing 10 move 4. fifths of their
numbers' to. any, pats of Great Britain ?" With an
ardour and unanimity which refleeted upon this re-
spedable .Corps the highest credit, they requested
Lieut:-Col. PH I tirs to represent, that, although it
Would be ruinous to' them generally, as shopkeepers
and traders, transuding -business themselves which
they could not delega,m to others, to .leave hotie on
a, bare rumour or apprehension of,lnvasiOn,yet they
were ready, in case .a considerable body of the Ene-
my should aftually land in Great Britain, to match.
against them to any part of the Island.
The Bristol'Volunteers,rogether with the United
Clifton and Westhury,.have received orders to pro.
vide themselves with every thing necessary fur actual
service, and in case of alarm, will iinufediiitely m:rch
to Marlborough. •
In the neighbourhood of Dorchester, wheat in
general is remarkably' heavy in crop ; a partial
blight, intie.ed, aiipeare4 in some fields, but to no
great extent. In piece of land in the .common
field 'of Fordington, belongirg to Mr. Ensor, the
reapers finding • the straw very much in clusters,
%Vete induced to pull up one of the roots,,when, to
their greatastonishment, they found 79 straws well
eared, the produce of one grain ; in many instances
they ,found 00, 6z, 644 &c. .

On Monday se'finight Mr. WOODS began to cut
a very fine field of Wheat, 1.1 about five,acres, .on
the Farm of lituntan, in the Parish of Ayr. It is
'calculated, that the produce of this field will be zoo
bolls per acre. A hundred pounds were offeted for
th 4 whole Crop, and refusetL
The hops in. Kent, as well as the Worcester and
SUssex Plantations, have: materially s.uffered from
the late cold winds and wet weather; which, al.
though in a much less degree than in the year 1799,
yet a
.comparative deficiency in
.quantity is 10 be
fully expetted, from their general small size, which.
anticipate, from their present apFearance; to be of
a very fine quality.
The Surgeons of the Faculty of Physicians and
Surgeons. of Glasgow, and its neighbourhood, have
been in the constant practice since May ISot, of
inoculating weekly 'with the Cow.pock, the chi!.
then of the labouring poor of that city and neigh.
bourimod free of 'expellee ; and, they. have just re-
ported, that since the commencement of their Cha.
rity, they have inoculated above 6000 children
that no instance of death has
,happened to'any'of
these children while under iftp disease—hardly ar,y
of them !rave
,required any medical treatment—and
not a single instance is known to the Surgeons 'tsthere

From the bonsbast adulation of the Address of the
Senate, as delivered by the President to 116 Im-
perial !Ugliness, we give the'following extract :----
it I should never come to a conclusiun if I
should attempt to express every sentiment of re..
weft and devotion 'which the Btnate entertains for
you : but we cannot intrude U purl moments so
precious as your`i. Those n !licit your Imperial'
Highness condescends to spate us, appear short
indeed. We hive scarce beheld you in the bosom
of the Senate, when your Imperial Highness pre.
pares to return into the bosom of the Army. .But
thOugh we are necessarily obliged to rem tin at our
post, we feel the utmost regret that we cannot
accompany you -to that which you are about to
occupy."

In the Address from the same body, to the Prin-
cess Jostru INE, the President tells her, 66 your
palace is, in my eyes, the Temple of Modesty : I
should fear, therefore, to offend the G.Aldess, it
should dare to describe her virtues."
