RECENT FATAL DUEL AT WINSTER.-011 the
27th ult. the remains of Mr. Cuddle, Surgeon, of Winster,
whose melancholy death was narrated in our last, were deposited
in a vault formed for the purpose in the-church-yard of that
place, amidst an immense concourse of spectators, who testified
by the deepest sympathy their respect for his character, and
their commiseration of his unhappy fate. We understand a
subscription has been entered into for the erection of a monu-
ment to his memory, bearing a suitable inscription.—(Derby
Mercury.)

PARISH OF ST. ANDREW'S, ITOLRORN.—At a
meeting held yesterday, the decision upon the
laudable proposal of the Rector and Vestry to
adopt the necessary measures relative to the
enlargement of places of divine worship, was
postponed for a week. The opposition which it
experienced was on the score of expcnce, though
it was shewn the accomplishment of the measure
would not require more than, five shillings from
each parishioner at the end of twenty years,
with interest, amongst a population of 30,000 in-
habitants.

A very important discovery has a short time
since been made of the original books of Regis-
try of Marriages and Births which occurred in
the Fleet Prison and its Rules from the year
1686 to 1754, together with those also celebrated
at the Mint and Mayfair Chapel ; of the authen-
ticity of these records no doubt is entertained ;
and they have, by an order from Lord SI mourn,
been lately deposited with the Registrar of the
Diocese of London, in Godliman-street. The
long period of doubt and difficulty, which obscured
the union of the marriages and births of that era,
before the date of the Marriage Act, will now he
cleared, and the titles to estates during that pe-
riod'find a clear elucidation hitherto very much
required.

SINGULAR FACT.—A striking proof of the
want of education, which still too generally pre-
vails, occurred a short time since, in this county
A Coroner's Jury assembled near Waldron, for
the purpose of holding an inquest; but when
they came to the ceremony of signing, it appear-
ed that there was but one of the twelve who
could write his name !—(Brighton Chronicle.)

The Melo drame. entitled Theresa has been
brought out at the New York Theatre.—The
Baltimore audience have been disappointed by
the performance of Mr. KEAN.

I R E AND.

LIMERICK ELECTION APPEAL.

• (From the Limer;cit Advertiser of May 29.)
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Barrington, Agent to Mr. Rice,
dated London, Weduesday night :
" We have fully succeeded, and the Non-Residents are
struck .ofr for, ever." _ _ .

The division in the Committee was thus :—" For the Peti-
tioners, Lord Walpole, Sir L. Palk, Charles Chaplain, S.
Bourne."

" Against the Appellants, The Chairman, Dr. Phillimore
Sir L. Cole, Sir P. Musg-ravz, R. Colbourne, T. P,Macqucen,
Penruddock, C. Duncombe, S. Graham, A. Smith;G.
Lucy and N. Calvert."
This intelligence so sweet to the palates of the Independents,
pia our entire City into . a bustle, and active preparations were
quickly made for a public jubilee last night, which was cele-
brated in the most perfect good-humour.—The Mayor and
Magistrates acted prudently in making no display of soldiers or
constables—aware that the Citizens were only intent on dis-
playing delight at their triumph, they very properly looked on
in friendship, and the adherents of the opposite side inter-
mingled with the Independents in friendlyintercourse and amity.
Since the Mail arrived on Sunday, the vessels IA-the river, &c.
displayed their flags, and at eight o'clock last night, discharged
several pieces of small ordnance. About that hour some rash
persons ran shouting through. George's-street, bearing on a pole
a tattered effigy, to
,which a placard was affixed, inscribed with
the words, " J. T. the Traitor !" on reaching Denmark-street,
they plunged it in the fire just kindled there, and subsequently
caused it to be burned on Baal's-bridge. In Mungret-street
the rejoicings commenced. The houses of Messrs. E. Ryan
and Sons were tastefully decorated with various banners and
trophies ; the latter • displayed the emblem of a Noble House,
twice reversed, with a scroll and the words
" Civic Liberty restored."
" A pure Spring' discovered."
In front blazed a large fire. There were other flags and
fires in the same street, and at old Mungret Gate, a trium-
phal arch, festooned with laurel, encircled a banner, upon
which was painted a colossal figure of the Eagle of Independ-
ence.. crowned, holding in his talons the sword of justice, and
the lightning of retribution ! Suspended from the Office and
Stores of Michael Eagan, Esq. in Upper William-street, waved
a crimson streamer, surmounted with laurel branches:; an enor-
mous timber ire., in front sent forth an animating blaze, and
merry groups danced blithely to the piper's jig, who played
with all his might. •
In Cornwallis-street, and at Mr. Mabony's house in the
square, ware tar-barrels and fires. Opposite St. John's Church
was fixed a Tree of Liberty, laurel Wreaths encircling a shop,
and the motto of

" The Corporation overthrow," and
" The Independents victorious."
A large fire burned at Mr. Coonerty's, Shamrock Tavern,
Broad-street. On Old Baal's Bridge two of the largest fires
ever displayed in Limerick, which required almost the powers
of a salamander even to approach. There was a fire fronting
Mr. Hughes Russell's, from whose house a gay flag floated.—
Mary-street boasted its conflagrations also, and opposite the
Exchange burned a turf fire—and from the window of Mr.
Egan fronting .that building, a streamer was appended, with
the Motto

" New Liberty"
upon it. On Merchant's-quay, fla:s and fires rivalled each
other in effect. -Charlotte's-quay, Lock-quay, Wilson's-quay,
and Clare-street, boasted a proportionate share of " Indepen-
dent" fervor. In William-street we discerned a large fire op-
posite the house of T. Ryan, Esq., &c. &c.—There W ~;3 a bar-
rel of flame in front of the house of John M'Namara, Esq. in
George's-street.
There were tar-barrels before the Pank ; the dwellings of
Messrs. Bodkin, Carroll, Kelly, Boyse, T. G. Bodkin, Stc.—
The Victuallers, (Newton Market) burned four large tar bar-
rels. They mounted the following motto in front of their fire—
" The Birth of Liberty,
And the Death of Corruption,"
On Arthur's-quay were several_ fires, especially at Mr. B.
•M‘Malion's, and in Francis-street, at Mr. Barrington's, where
we came. in front of the Commercial Buildings, which pre-
sented a striking display of festivity ; from the top waved the
Union Jack, and four enormous firesin front of the door were
encirled by thousands, rejoicing in the very fullness of triumph,
firing vollies, minute guns, huzzaing, shouting, and animated
almost beyond description with joy and satisfaction. The chief
object of contemplation for the evening-- was the Commercial
Buildings, within whose walls our , Chamber of CoMmerce so
materially contributed to the present felicity of • this 'Mercantile
City. The. Gentlemen who compose that invaluable. society are
extremely popular, from the conviction that their Funds were
devoted to the cause of independence, only because it was that
which was best calculated to promote the trade, prosperity, and
happiness of Limerick.'
'l.O Mr. Rice, for this fresh Victory the Citizens are grateful,
for es ertions that must have been truly warm, indefatigable,
and sincere. We understand that the evidence of.M.r. M. Bar-
rington was considered by the Committee of the most convinc-
ing kind and attracted their marked attention.
'We understand that the Chamber of Commerce have re-
qursted our amiable and indefatigable representative T. S. Rice,
Esq. to order that his Portrait (at. full length) shall be painted.
by Mr. James Russell, intended 113 an ornament for the Com-
mittee Room in the Commercial Buildings.
