IRELAND.

On last Monday we felt considerable pain in
being under the necessity of laying before our
readers, an account, extracted. from The Limerick
Chronicle of last Saturday, of a series of outrages
that had been committed in the southern dis-
tricts, during the sitting of the Special Commis-
sion. The object, in every case, was the attain-
ment of fire-arms; and the only inference which
could be drawn from such a fact was that the
horrible spirit, which had instigated the pea-
santry to shed so much huinan blood, had not
subsided, and that the executions at Limerick
had not produced a suitable effect on the minds
of the conspirators. The intelligence, however,
-which has been received this day from the
southern districts, shews that the awful examples
-which have been made at Limerick, and the cer-
tainty of the execution of the other malefactors,
who spoke not of mercy till the vengeance of the
law overtook them, have been productive of the
most beneficial effects, as none of the Provincial
Journals mention the perpetration of any crime
connected with that conspiracy of the peasantry
against life and property, which has proved so
fatal to the unfortunate victims of so frantic a
project.—(Dublin Correspondent, Dec. 9.G.)
This day, about three o'clock, a procession of
' the operative Broad Cloth Weavers of the Li-
berty, passed through the streets to the Pigeon-
house, for the purpose of offering their homage to
the Marquis WELLESLEY, who was expected to
land there, but who will not arrive until Friday
or Satuiday. They carried in the procession a
golden fleece and other emblems of their trade,
tin& a variety of flags, bearing appropriate in-
scriptions, such as " The sons of Jason welcome
the Marquis WELLESLEY."--" Welcome -WELLES..
LEY, the representative of our good King,
GEORGE IV."—(lbid.)
A circumstance of much iMportance has been
communicated to us, and which, we are assured,
is a fact that may be relied on. It is this—the
seven men under sentence of death, in the county
of Limerick, have made an offer to induce their
friends, the deluded peasantry, to give up 1,100
stand of arms, on Wednesday, (this day,) at
Rathkeal. If such an important occurrence
realty take place, immediate application will, of
Course, be made to Government in their behalf.—
(Saunders' News-Letter.)

BRIGHTON, DEC. 27.—The KING continues in
the enjoyment of excellent health. His MAJESTY
confines his exercises to the Palace Gardens and
the Riding School. There have been neither
Palace arrivals nor departures since our last re-
port. Prince ESTERHAZY and other illustrious
personages are expected to join his MAJESTY'S
suite before New Year's Day. Sir B. Br:ooNr-
_ FIELD returns from Carlton Palace to-morrow.
A recent paragraph in an evening paper, announc-
ing a change in his MAJEsTy's Establishment,
has no foundation in truth whatever.
HAWKERS AND PEDLARS.—It is the intention
of the Officers of the City of Oxford to prevent
itinerant dealers vending their goods in the
public streets, under the Hawkers and Ped-
lars' License. Legal opinions have been taken
on the subject, by which it appears that on
J;:,*r or market days they are allowed to vend
their articles in the public market only; but that
they subject themselves to a penalty of 101. by
selling or exposing to sale goods or merchandise
in any public street of a corporate town; and
prosecutions will be commenced for offences so
committed in future.—(Oxford Herald.)
• FRi. PA RD 0 N.— The Newcastle Chronicle says,
—His MAJ EST Y has been most graciously pleased
to grant a free pardon to John Reynolds, ai.las
John Diet, who was tried at the last Northum-
berland Assizes, and convicted, subject to the
opinion of the Judges on a point of law, for ma-
liciously shooting into the Swallow Revenue
Cutter, on the coast, near New biggin. He has
been accordingly discharged from prison. It
will he recollected that the point reserved was,
as to the Swallow having hoisted the proper
colours ; and that Diel's leg was shattered in the
action, and amputated when they left him at
Boomer.

TURKISH SUPERSTITION.—A German Paper
says, that the Turkish people are now much
affrighted .in consequence of an old prophesy of
an Arabian Astrologer, named A CH AM, who main-
tained that the conjunction of planets, Saturn
and Jupiter, would be productive of important
effects on the Ottoman Empire. Those planets
are now nearly in conjunction, and the terror of
the multitude is therefore very great. RunlN
Kowm, who served as an Hessian under Prince
CONSTANTINE, in the wars carried on in 1673,
with the Turks, by the illustrious Kinz, of Po-
land, JOHN 111. then in the 95th year of his age,
and who afterwards wrote a history of them, re-
lates in his work many extraordinary circum-
stances respecting the Turks and the Astrologer
ACHAM.

At six o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke
out in the glass-house of Messrs. R rAn and Co.,
in White's yard, Rosemary-lane. It began in
one of the vaults underneath the factory, where
some cinders,_ which had been shot there from the
furnace, having ignited, the fire had communi7
cated with some billets of wood which lay close
by. It was, however, fortunately discovered in
time, and extinguished without doing any ma -
rial damage.
So very numerous were the geese in town that
the holders were selling them on Saturday arid
yesterday at two shillings each. Four to five shil-
lings were got for them on Wednesday.—(Glas-.
gori., Chronicle.)

FOR. THE SUN.

CONSECRATION AT BRIGHTON.

MR. EDITOR—In the perusal of your Paper
of this evening I was struck by a series of errors,
in a paragraph relative to the intended consecra-
tion of the Royal Chapel at Brighton.-Ist, You
state that the above solemn ceremony is to take
place on Monday next—that is not the case—
Tuesday is the day fixed.-2nd, The Members of
the Choir of hia MAJESTY'S Chapel Royal are the
only professional persons ordered to attend, though
it is true that Members of St. Paul's Choir will be
present, as holding appointments in both Choirs.--
3d, The names of Messrs. SLADE, KNYVETT, and
BELLAMY, are incorrect ; there is not a Musical
Professor (I believe) of the name of Slade; Mr.
KNIFETT, I regret to state, is too much indis-
posed to attend as Organist to his MAJESTY;
and Mr. BELLAMY, not being of the Chapel
Royal Choir, will not attend—the latter Gentle-
man is now performing at Bath.
I am, Sir, Your's, &c.
York Hotel, Dec. 28. MUSICUS.

respondent was copied from a Morning Paper o

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SWINTON (SURREY) COURSING.
There was a fine day's sport on Swinton Downs on Thursday,
for the Swinton Cap, and other matches, notwithstanding the
wetness of the day..
. .-' Tilt CUP,.
Mr. Simpson's Fly . e . 1
Captain Rogers's black b. . - - 2
Mr. Ferguson's Riddle . . - 3
Mr. Horn's Bagshot brindle b. beat Mr. Hall's Nina.
Capt. Green's brindle b. beat Mr. Goodison's Snowdrop.
'Alr. Archer's Jezebel beat Mr. Rook's fawn b.
Capt. Johnson's white dog beat :,Ir. Horn's black b.
Mr. Rose's Ranter beat Mr. Owen's Music.
These matches were for Ugs each, and seven others were
undecided.

THE Tnr...vrar.—A more favourable recep-
tion attended the new piece of Giovanni in Ire-
land, last night, at Drury-lane Theatre--The
scenery and processions, &c. have been much
facilitated and improved by practice, and the
piece constitutes a superb exhibition, which can
only suffer in comparison to the splendour of
THE CORONATION.—The farce of Who's who
followed, and the whole concluded with The
Romp, of which Miss KELLY gave a very diverting
portrait, and Miss CUEITT sang the Mocking-bird
song, from Guq Mannering, so admirably as to
procure a warm and unanimous encore. There
was a larger audience than could reasonably be
expected in such Inclement weather.

The Earl of COVENTRY, in addition to very

handsome abatements made by his Lordship
within the last five years, has, at his late audit,
made very liberal deductions to his tenants, nut
by an indiscriminate allowance of a per centage
upon tlj rent of each farm, but according to the
period of time at which the tenants took their
estates.

A RUCIINUNTUYI AD HOMINEM.—JAMES FERGU-
SON, the ingenious mechanic and astronomer, was
travelling once in a stage7cOach in which there
happened to he only another passenger, who was
a Sectarian. The'man being brim-full of zeal, kept
the discourse continually on the subject nearest
his heart, and pointed out passages of Scripture
incessantly, exclaiming, as he uttered every
text or disjointed passage; " Is not that scrip-
ture ?" Ferguson at last grew quite impa-
tient, and told his fellow-traveller, that upon
his principles he would undertake to prove the
lawfulness of suicide. " How so ?" vociferated the
scripturist. " Why," returned the mathematician,
" Judas went and hanged himself." is not
that scripture ? "Go thou and do likewise."—
Is not that scripture ? This put an end to the
conversation, and the parties went on to the end
of the stage in silence.

Last week a farmer of Math, in Kent, by mis-
take gave his waggoner a sovereign instead of a
shining, for allowance, when poor Robin turned
it over and over, and laying his head clown on

his shoulder, evidently appeared not pleased with
his present ; his master inquired if he thought
the shilling was not good. " No, master," ex-
claimed Robin, " I think not, as it has a horse
on the tail side." The farmer's eyes were imme-
diately open to the error he had committed, and
readily exchanged the piece of money, giving
Robin a white shilling bearing the ar.ns of Bri-
tain quartered, instead of the offensve horse.

Intended for the Grave of

MRS. ELIZABETH INCHBALD,
Who died on the Ist of August, 1821, in the Sixty-ninth year

of hei age.

wntTTtg DE JOIIN' TAYI.OII., ESQ.

Lo ! the White Tablet, emblem of the mind
Of Infant Parity, below enshrin'd,
Mark'd by the tribute of parental sighs—"
Here too at rest lamented INCIIIIALD lies.
The CHILD presag'd, in Time's maturing hour,
To rise a beauteous intellectual flower,
Yet ah ! while Hope indulged a fond delight,
The cherish'd blossom felt Death's fatal blight
Thus INCHBALD'S youth presag'd a future claim
To moral dignity and mental fame,
But Time, what Nature form'd with powers so rare,
Touch'd with prophetic zeal, was proud to spare ;
Proud to prolong her useful mortal state,
E'en to the verge of our allotted date,
To spread the works of her creative mind,
That, while amusing, meliorate mankind.
Her life was just, benevolent and sage,
As Truth proclaims in her instructive page :
Religion consecrates her lionour'd bier,
And a TRUE CHRISTIAN waits for mercy here.
• l'lpitapli written by the Right Ho lourable GEORGE CAN
NING on his Eldest son, buried in Kensington Churchlard.—
Mrs. INciniaLD's is the adjoining grave.-,
