The Marquess Wellesley, on Saturday', visited Ulcomb
Place, the seat of the late Marquess of Ormonde, which is now

THE KING.—The inhabitants of Milford con-
fidently anticipated the landing of his MAJESTY,
but it is not believed that after having made so
much way through the Irish Channel, his MA-
JESTTY would alter his intention of sailing round
the •Land's End, and coming either to Ports-
mouth or to Brighton. Had their wishes been
fulfilled, and the rest of the Royal journey been
performed on land, his MAJESTY would ere now
have reached his capital, where he has been for
some days anxiously expected.—(Morning Post.)
The Emperor of AUSTRIA has presented to the

The LORD LIEUTENANT of IRELAND iS to

nour of the regular period being prolonged by
the Sovereign.
LORD COM BERMER E.—Tile freedom of the
Borough of Liverpool was presented in the most
handsome manner to our Cheshire hero, Lord
CO2II MERMEP.E, on Friday last, by the Worshipful
the Mayor and Council of that Borough.
The karl and Countess of BELmoar., after their
long absence, were welcomed to their princely
mansion of Castleroote with every demonstration
of joy, and the most conspicuous hills in the de-
mesne -and its vicinity were illuminated by tar
barrels. It is five years since the Countess was
last in Ireland.

When the Earl of FING kL was at Powerscourt
with his MAJESTY on Monday se'nnight, the SO-
VEREIGN put his hand in the kindest•manner on
his Lordship's shoulder, and said, " My Lord,
you will see my letter to-morrow; I am sure it
will please you."

On Monday night Mr. BAYLEY, the Roya
upholsterer, and his men, who conveyed the re
---ains of her MAJESTY to Brunswick, arrived it

:o w ii.

Miss STEPHENS is engaged for a few nights by
e Manager of the Bristol Theatre, and was.to
make her appearance there on last Monday even-
ing in the character of Roietta.
We are sorry to learn from many parts of this
county, that the late rains have considerably in-
jured the wheat and other kinds of corn, which,
in many places, are sprouting afresh, and the
dampness has alike tended to increase the mould.
Much of the corn about here remains unloosed,
the weather having been so particularly unfa-
vourable for getting it in. To this cause is to
be attributed the late rise of grain in the market.
—( Maidstone Journal, Sept. 11.)
DREADFUL A FFMA Y.—AllOther of those la-
mentable scenes which it has been frequently our
duty to detail, took place at Apple Bay, near
Birchington, on Sunday morning last, between
the men employed in the Preventive Service, and
a large party of
,smugglers, who had assembled,
armed, at that spot, to work a vessel loaded with
contraband goods; the country was alarmed by
the report of fire arms, and a desperate conflict
ensued ; the officers resolved to do their duty,
and the smugglers determined to secure their
cargo. Mr. KERR, the 'officer commanding the
Preventive party, received a desperate sabre
wound on the head, and three of his men were
also disabled ; the smugglers suffered materially,
but ultimately succeeded in carrying off the
whole cargo, as well as their wounded compa-
nions, who must have suffered much, from the
quantity of blood which marked their retreating
track. We understand a man belonging to Mar-
gate has been apprehended as one of the party,
and committed for further examination,—(Maid-
stone Journal, Sept. 11.)
ESCAPE FRO3I CHESTER CASTLE,.—RaIph Deane, a most
notorious character from the neighbourhood of Maccles-
field, who was committed to Chester Castle in the month
of April last, by the Mayor Of Macclesfield, for a burglary
at the house of Mr. Clark, confectioner, made Ins escape
from that prison on Tuesday morning last, Tins is not the
first instance of this man's dexterity; about three years ago
he was taken up on suspicion of being concerned in an
extensive robbery at Mr. Samuel Bradley's silk factory, in
Macclesfield, and placed in the strong lock-up room of Mr.
Frost, the chief constable, in the third story of his house.
In the course of the night he made a small aperture near
the window, through wnich he contrived to creep, and let
himself down into the street with the assistance of a short
blanket. After the lapse of a few weeks, he was retaken
near. Manchester, and placed in Macclesfield Gaol, strongly
ironed and chained to the floor, but even this would not
hold him—he again escaped. •in a short time afterwards he
was apprehended upon a charge of burglary at Rainow, near
Illacclesfield, and committed to Chester Castle for trial. Ile
pleaded guilty to the.indictment and was sentenced to two years
imprisonment in the House of Correction at Knutsford. In the
evening of the very day of his liberation from Knutsford-gaol, ha
committed the burglary with which he now stands charged. A
reward is offered for his apprehension, by the Constable of
Chester Castle.
_MELANCHOLY EVENT.—In Bantry Bay, on Tuesday last,
a boat having broken away from her moorings, nine men got
into another boat to recover that which had gone adrift, and
having succeeded in this object, were returning, when both
boats were dashed to pieces against the rocks by a breaker, and
the nine men perished. The fragments of the boats were scat-
tered on the strand at Newtown, and some of the hats of the
unfortunate sufferers were, found, but none of the bodies have
yet been picked up. Six of the men were married and have left
families.---(Cork Advertiser, Sept. 8.)
