BATTLE OF Titarar.oaß.--'Phis day being:the' Anniver.
nary of this most brilliant achievement of the British Navy, it
will be again celebrated by the Inhabitants of Greenwich and
its vicinity, at the Green NI an Tavern, on Blackheath ; and we
understand the Meeting will be numerously attended by persons

County of Bent.
BRIG TON, .OC.T. 16.—The weather yesterday and today
has been bright; but with " an eager and a nipping air." The
rides and walks have been gaily frequented, and as the autum_
nal dip, of all others, is the more strongly recommended for its
bracing qualities Lord Neptune's levees rather increase than
diminish in attendants. At the Pavilion every thing remains
in statu quo—the artists continue to make progress in the in-
terior finishing's, and not a doubt is entertained of his Majesty
there, for the winter and spring seasons, with but shqrt
intervals of absence, very goon after his return from Hanover.
THE COMITENAY ESTATES.—These vast domains in the
county of Limerick, were granted by Queen Elizabeth 'to Sir
Courtenay. His descendant, the present Lord Viscount
Courtenay, resides in some remote part of America, and, we
believe, has never even seen his Irish property. Ile has 'been
selling this old forfeiture for some years—and his sales have
produced him two hundred thousands pounds sterling, which, at
six per cent. would bring 12,0001. per annum—but he has still
remaining 42,000 Irish plantation acres, let, it is stated, on an
average for nearly 40s. an acre, and Which, therefore, yield him:
80,0001. a year, or upwards. The Couttenay property has been
for some time under the management of trustees, who reside in
England. By a letter from Newcastle, we learn that Mr. Hos-
kins resigned his agency to the Courtenay Estate on Thursday.

BLItTII.—On Sunday, the 14th October, at Sydney Place,
Cork the- Lady -of -Major-General Sir John harnbert, 'of 'a
dauiner. The General had just returned from Attending, in
the County of Limerick, an investigation of the outrages
committed there.

PRESENCE OF Mmo.—Nlacartney, who was Lord Mohun's
second in the duel with the Duke of Hamilton, and suspected
of very foul play, fled for it. Soon after, a country gentleman
being beset with highwaymen, told them with a seeming in-
henuity, that he was the identical Nlacartney, upon which the
ighwaymen took him to a Justice of the Peace, in the hopes of
obtaining the reward which had been ofl'ored for his apprehen-
sion, but in consequence of which the rogues themselves were
sent to goal and punished.
A shopkeeper at Doncaster had for his virtues obtained the
name of the tittle rascal. A stranger asked him why this ap-
pellation had been given him ? "To distinguish me from the
rest of my trade," quoth he, " who are all great raJeal.y."—
(Hull Packet.)

When Dr. THOMAS, afterwards Bishop of Salisbury, was
Chaplain to the British Factory at Hamburgh, a gentleman
belonging to the Factory died at a village about ten.miles dis-
tant. Application was made to the clergyman of the township
for leave to bury him in the church-yard. The parson inquired
of what religion he was, and was informed that he-had died a
Calvinist. " Then," said he, " he cannot be buried here ;
there are none but Lutherans in my churchyard, and there shall
be no other." On this being told to Dr. Thomas, he immedi-
ately took his.horse and went to argue the matter withthe
parson, but found him inflexible. At length the doctor gained,
by ridicule, what he had failed to accomplish by the force of
reason.—" You remind me," said the 'doctor to the priest,
" of a circumstance which once happened to myself when I was
curate of a church in Saint Thomas-street : . I was burying a
corpse, when a woman came and pulled me by the sleeve in the
middle of the service, Sir, Sir, I , want to speak to you.'
Pr'ythee, says I, wait till I have done No, Sir, I must
speak to you immediately !' Why, then, what is the matter ?
4 Why, Sir,' says she; you are burying a man who died of
the small-pox next my poor husband, who never had it.' "
This story had the desired effect : and the Priest permitted the
bones of the Calvinist to be laid in a Lutheran church-yard. .
111 niAGE LOTTERY.-It has often been said,figuratively,
that marriage is a lottery ; but we do not recollect to have met
with a.practical illustration of the truth of the simile before the
following, which is a free translation of an advertisement in the
Louisiana Gazette A young man, of good figure and dispo-.
sition, unable, though desirous, to procure a wife, without the
preliminary trouble of amassing a fortune, proposes the follow-
ing expedient to obtain the object of his wishes. He offers'him-
self as the prize of a lottery to all widows and virgins under 32.
The number of tickets to be 600, at 50 dollars each. But one
number to be drawn from the wheel, the fortunate proprietor
of which is to be entitled to himself and the 30,0Cr0 dollars."_:
thew York American.) ,

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.--The following important
case to Friendly Societies was decided at Brechin, on Saturday
last, by James Carney, Esq. of Balnamoon, and William Al-
lardice, Esq. of Murlingden, Justices of the Peace :—A majo-
rity of the Gardeners' Society voted part of their funds to pur-
chase a flag, which was protested against, and submitted to the
Justices, by whom it was found that the funds of the Society.
could only be applied to the support of members, and that 'the
master and treasurer should refund• the money paid out for the
flag, and have recourse to the members who voted it away.—
(Glasgow Paper.) _ _

A curious circumstance occurred a few days
since at Castle Baring, in the county. of Mon-
mouth, the seat of CHARLES BANNITYNE, Esq.
As Mr. BANNATYNE,. the Hon. Mr. BROCKHURST,
and Mr. HENS, were on a shooting excursion, the
gun of Mr. lIENs went off by accident, lodging
its contents in a thick holly-bush, whence a
brace of pigs, of the wild boar species; rushed
out, making a precipitate retreat to the inner-
most recesses of the wood. Mr. BANNATYNE
fired at the lighter coloured animal, but the shot
seemed to Make no impression ; the lion. Mr.
BROCKHURST fired next, and laid the animal
prostrate. Upon examination it was found to be
a hog of the Indian kind, which, it is supposed,
has, with its companion; escaped from some me-
nagerie. •
