MISCELLANEOUS.

DU.ILIN, JAN. 6.— JONAS GREENE, Esq. was
this day unanimously elected Recorder of this
City, in the room of the late W. WALKER, Esq.
,There never was a choice which gave more gene-
ral satisfaction. There were eleven candidates.

The Sheriffs of Middlesex having some time
ago refused compliance with a. RequisitiOn which
was presented to them to call a Meeting of the
County, to take into consideration the propriety
of petitioning the House of Commons for a Con-
stitutional Reform in the Representation of the
People in Parliament,_ a second Requisition, to
the same effect, has been presented to the Duke
Of PORTLAND, Lord Lieutenant of the County.
His Grace has complied with the Requisition,
and fixed Tuesday, the 16th instant, for the
Meeting.
A circumstance, reflecting great credit on
Major E. J. WOLSELE I'S Company of the ?sth
Regiment (the King's Own Borderers), quartered
in this town, has come to our knowledge, and we
feel great satisfaction in laying it before the-public.
A soldier named Thomas Barber, lost his wife on
the 31st ult. leaving behind her four little chil-
dren, one of whom is only 9 months old—every
non-commissioned Officer and soldier of that
Company voluntarily subscribed a day's pay to
the distressed family.—(Sligo Journal.)
Several large. flocks of wild geese and ducks
passed the coast of Kent, last week, in an eas-
terly direction.
Seventeen persons met with premature deaths
at Liverpool during the late frost, in consequence
of venturing upon the ice before it was sufficient-
ly strong to bear them.
It is a singular circumstance, that in the City
of Cork there has not been a single apothecary s
shop opened in addition to those established 4D
years ago, but there has been an increase of 49
attornies in the short space of 3 years. •
At Harrington, on Saturday last, a tame gull,
which is a fixed inhabitant of the garden of Mr.
PEut, was found extended on the wound with a
sparrow-hawk, in the same situation, by its side.
The hawk had hold on the gull by the head.
Both birds were in an exhausted state, and ap-
peared to have fought till mutually overcome.
The hawk was taken up and put into confinement,
but it died within an hour. The gull recover-
ed and is still living. The attack of a hawk
upon a gull is probably a singular circumstance,
and to be attributed to extreme hunger, the re-
sult of the severe weather, and consequent scarcity
of more ordinary prey.
Tuesday night a gentlewoman had her pocket
picked in the Pit of Drury-lane Theatre, in a
very remarkable manner : her upper petticoat was
cut theough, and both corners of her pocket cut
off. She felt something about her feet in the
time of performance, which she took to be a
dog, but now supposes it to have been a little
boy under the bench, who cut her pocket, and
stole two half crowns, three shillings, a silver
thimble, and other articles.

THE RESCUE PLOT.--The depositions of the
several witnesses in this affair have been trans-
mitted to the Office of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, to be acted upon as the
Law Officers may advise. It is understood that
bills for felony in rescuing, for a conspiracy to
rescue, and for the assault at the rescue, will he
found at the present Sessions. Other evidence
in corroboration of the testimony adduced has
been received.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an Inquest
was taken with respect to the remains of Mary
Crewel], aged only 19, ivho, together with Miss
Anne Leece—(See our Paper of Friday last)---
was killed by jumping out suddenly from a two-
story window, in consequence of terror by fire,
at No. 13, Bedford-row. The deceased was ser-
vant to Mrs. Leece, and it now appeared that the
conflagration was caused by the falling of a can-
dle while endeavouring to turn Mrs. Leece, the
unfortunate young Lady's mother, in her bed.
Hereupon the servant girl alarmed Miss Leece,
who was reposing in an adjoining room, and who
assisted to remove her sick mother to another.
Miss Leece and the servant then returned in.
order to extinguish the tire, which still continued
to spread, while they in confusion had fastened
the door. Dreading to be burned to death, both
immediately threw themselves out of the win-
dow. This statement was given to Mr. U win,
by Miss Leece, just after their fatal fall. Ver.,
dict—." That the deceased (Mary Creweil), ia
order to avoid the flames, jumped out of a two-
pair of stairs window, whereby she received the
mortal injuries of which she died."
CAUTlON.—Servants should be very vigilant is
looking after the property of gentlemen travelling
into London, as trunks and luggage are every
evening cut from carriages, notwithstanding the
frequent cautions that a nest of thieves live by
this system of plunder. On Saturday evening,
as Mr. Ord, of Berkeley-square, was coining to
London, his trunks- were cut from the top of the
carriage, somewhere'near Knightsbridge, con-
taining valuable ladies' dresses; and the robbery
was not discovered until the carriage had reached
Mr. Ord's house.
WILFUL FIRE.—On Thursday night, Mr:
SNODGRASS'S mill at Mile-end, near Glasgow,
was discovered to be on fire : no water could
be procured for a considerable time. The two
upper floors of the mill and the roof were
completely burned, and the lower floor much
injured. The fire originated in the engine house,
which is also burned. The premises are par-
tially insured to the extent Of 40001. At 20
minutes before twelve, a man was observed
running from the north end of the mill ; and.
passing through a door in the wall, escaped across
the fields. Immediately after this the picking.-
room, in which there had been no-light, wits dis-
covered on fire, from which it,. is supposed to'
have been the work of someincendiary ; although.
the proprietor is giving the same wages to hissworkmen that the
.workers receive at the neigh-
bouring Edinburgh Courani, Jan. 8.)

The near appecacli of the meeting:of Parliament is matter
of public satisfaction, and still greater public benefit. When
people's minds are a good deal excited and divided by noun''-
, cal• feeling, whilst the Parliament" at the"same'fins.e is non.
existent, the cotnntunity is thrown into a state of tinconcen-
trated and chaotic- activity. Counties, cities;'Parishes, and
• villages, are at pres,nt agitated by contests fur rival ad-
dress.s—, acts party contends for victory—a defeat here is
set off tioirist a victory there. Titles, wealth„rcspectithility,

[Morning Post.]
Nothing eertainly can be• more painful or abhorrent to the
liberal and enlightened mind. than to see men of rank and
property in the country encouraging by their prese tier and
elartiple, meeting's of the poorest and least educated classes.
It is a mockery-on common arose to call such meetings delilie-
-rat•ire;-and it would be cruel irony on the persons whoFtritilrose
them, to sav that they arethe organs-of sound opinion..
If experience has any weight, -we are justified in maint'ainiug
that they have, no .other tendency than to prevent legitimate
discussion. History also teaches .that such meetings. are the.
usual suns of the decliiie of good political institution.; the
prectirsors of anarchy, and •at• last of mi`itary-
They are entirely foreign to the doeient eririt on-1 practice
of the Constitution; and cannot he reconciled v.ith any

they have the eiiect,.of, -nose-fling the ideas of ttiq labt,uring
6;as:es, of mak..n.4 them .diicontented with their cOtidltion,

-to turbulent and atrintious uteri; for. if; there wcre,wi po7
litical mohs, there would be -no eneottrageriient for dema-
gog:ties; and levellers.- •But 7 the greales'i 'mistfilet,- is theii
strong tendency to hriug, into disrepute, the wise and shill-.
Jary printii►les of the Vonstitution ; thq being as fatal to
sound liberty as they• are to a mild e,zercisc of authority.

the 13eri,shire Nlteting), wass-composed of the " truly loyal,"

abbe: Sir Francis Bnrdett's ele.itns to that itesiznation are
too obvious to be questioned: Mr. Hallett, lketter known as
" the frieid"of CObbett," belongs to thie,salitella4, and these
two are a fair specimen of the loyalty.of the whole meeting.
But let us look 'a little closely at the " true loyalty" of the
Papers themselves, on whose authdritylthe t►tle of these new
Loyalists rests. Of The T hitt S it is quite needless for us to speak:
but we shall enter op 'the more dubious case of The Horning
Chronicle. In the first place, ~s'e obServe 'that the loyalty of
the worthy Editbris,of a roost exclusive kind. Some.hundreds
of Loyal Declarations and Addresses to the King hare lately
been subscrihed,some of them by several thousand names.-=-
It 11-admitted by The Chronicle itself, that the' majority of
the Freeholders of Scotland Lave already addressed his Ma
jesty; but let the worthy Editor is not satisfied :• all these
Freeholders, all the Traders and Manufacturers, •all the
Agriculturists, the Gentlemen, Clergymen, Magistrates,
N tblenten, ;who . have signtd these .Addresses are (we
quote his words) " impudent and hypocritical pretend-
ers to loyalty'." As to'llie Clergy, in particular, they,. Ins
says, are ;" in the first rank" of men " who have set
a r example of immorality,. of insincerity, of treason to their
King, and to the institutions or their country"!!—Nor is this
toisciu:duct of recent -date : 'it seems they have behaved so in
all periods of our Alas !" says the Editor very
'pathetical*, ".when did the Sovereigns of England ever re-
eeive wholesome advice from their Clergy?"—lt is clear,
therefore, tnat the " truly loyal" must wish to get tid of the
Clergy altogetln r.

COURT OF KIN6SLIENCH, JAN. to
siTriNcs AT GUILDHALL.

The Cnitt, JustieF, presided in this Court,
and proceeded to hoar the remainder of thoso
cases which stood for trial. at the Sittings after
last Term. There was, however, no -case of the
slightest public interest ; and the only cause
which eYcite..d any portion of public attention,
Was that in which a person of the name of
Muxeter was plaintiff, and Mr. Robins, a sug,„ar-
baker, defendant. The -plaintiff's.. case, which
Mr. CAMPBELL . conducted with considerable
ability, "was this :—lle had. beep discharged from
the Alefend'ant's service, having filled. for sothe
month:; the situation of 'principal sugar boiler, and
as he had received no notice previously to his
dismissal, he sought to recover a month's wages
as the;, invariable custom of the trade in such
cases.- It was shewn however, by Mr, GURNEY,
from the plaintiff's own witnesses, that this prat=
tice always originated in a previous specific con-
tract, and the plaintiff submitted to be nonsuited.
