PATRICK SILK, of Galway, who had been
serving law notices in the neighbourhood of Loughrea and

ing Post.
Yesterday a meeting of the Magistrates of the
East Half Hundred of Brixton was held, by appointment,
at the Session-house, Horsemonger-lane, to take into con-
sideration the application of Mr. FORD to obtain a license,
under the Hotel Licensing Act, for the Rotunda Wine-
Rooms, situate in Great Surrey-street, Blackfriars. Mr.
FORD produced his waiters, and his case was fully heard,
when his application was, upon his own evidence, rejected.
The demand for worsted stuff goods at pre-
sent in the Halifax and Bradford markets exceeds the sup-
ply, but this is principally owing to so many of the weavers
and combers having been employed in securing first the bay,
and now the corn harvest.—Doncaster Gazette.

MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF SEDUCTION.—
Last night, between ten and eleven, the neighbourhood of
Chancery-lane was alarmed by the dreadful shrieks of a
female, who appeared to be suffering the most excrot:iating
pain, apparently from poison. After considerable delay
she was conveyed to St. Dunstan's watch-house, where
every means were resorted to for her relief, but without
effect for a considerable time, when she became compara-
rively tranquil. She refused to tell who she was ; but
having mentioned iu her ravings the name of an individual
residing not far off Fleet-street, persons were sent to gain
of him what intelligence he could give respecting her. On
his arrival at the watch-house, the unfortunate woman in-
stantly challenged him with having brought her to that
state; saying that but for him she should not have been
turned from home, and then broke into the most agonis-
ing mental distress, occasionally cailing on her brother and
family, 50d exclaiming she must never, never return to
them. It appears from what was stated by the person, that
he has had an acquaintance with her for months; that on
Saturday evening last he took her to a house of ill fame ;
that she was seen to go with him by some person who knew
her ; that on her return home on Sunday, her mother
shut the door in her face, and told her to go where she
was on Saturday night, since which time she has been wan-
dering about the streets, when at last, driven to despair by
the misery of her condition, she swallowed a quantity of lan-
danum,and not having eaten any thing for the last two or three
days, it had a most opposite effect to what such poison ge-
nerally has. By the prompt surgical assistance rendered,
her stomach was relieved of portions of the poison ; the
racking pain she at first was labouring under was in some
degree assuaged ; and her misery in some measure calmed
by the presence of her betrayer, whom she would not suffer
from her side for an instant, calling on his name, and ex-
claiming he could best tell what had driven her to seek
destruction. In consequence of her having repeatedly
threatened her life, it was thought the safest way to take
her to the Compter ; and as the individual whom she
charged as her seducer had the greatest influence with her,
it was considered necessary he should remain with others
in her company till an examination should be had to-slay
at the Police-office.

A rhubarb leaf was plucked in a garden at
Frampton, near Boston, on Wednesday, which measured
4,1•0*,, 3

dinner was given by the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE
to the Royal visitors and a large party, which was in-
creased in the conrse of the evening by the arrival of addi-
tional guests. The company were entertained with an
elegant supper, after partaking of which the party broke
up. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE came to town to the
King's Palace, St. James's.

STATE OF THE 'WEATHER IN FRANCE.-
A letter received in this city, dated Paris, Aug. 12, says—
" The weather has been extremely bad here for the last six
weeks ; and the accounts from all parts of the country say
that the corn is entirely lost. What I have seen of it was
as rotten as possible ; an immensity of it is lying on the
fields, fit only for manure."— Cork Mercantile Chronicle.
PUBLIC MEETING IN D ROGH ED A:A
splendid meeting took place on Monday at the Parish
Chapel of this town. The Catholic Primate, the most
Rev. Dr. CURTIS, in the Chair. At a quarter past two
o'clock the Primate took the chair amidst the cheers of the
assembly. There were a series of Resolutions brought for-
ward by the most leading inhabitants. Mr. LAWLESS
rose to reply to a highly complimentary resolution to him-
self and his mission, and entered into an able and compre-
hensive explanation of the nature and the object of his
journey. Mr. Lawr.r.ss was ably followed by Mr. FAItRELL,
of Drogheda, and Mr. BOYLAN, of Johnstown, near Dro-
gheda. I have no doubt the collection, which you know
is an extra one, and the foundation stone of the edifice Mr.
LAWLESS has been commissioned to erect, will be worthy
of the town of Drogheda.—Dublin Morning Register.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.—We are glad to
observe that measures have been adopted in Manchester,
Birmingham, and other large towns, to obtain subscrip-
tions and donations towards the completion of the 'names
Tunnel. It is impossible for any one who has seen this
grand national undertaking not to feel interested about its
success, or to doubt for a moment respecting the possibility
of its completion, if adequate funds are provided. It is
the subject of almost daily conversation amongst our neigh-
bours on the Continent, and many of theta have visited
London for the express purpose of viewing it. The gene-
ral opinion, both in France and Germany, is, that when
completed, it will be the most extraordinary work iu
Europe.--Sheffield Courant.
VALUABLE CAPTURE.--«'e understand
that a large stun of money, nearly 17,0001., just now
(three o'clock), has been recovered by the vigilance of the
Sheriffs in this city, which it had been supposed was frau-
dulently taken from a public establishment in England.
The delinquent is pursued, and will; probably, ere night,
lie apprehended.—Cork Afercan'ile Chronicle.

On Friday a plain-looking countryman was
decoyed by two fellows, under a pretence of selling him
some check, into a house, where he wat robbed of his
watch. In tle house were several females, one of whom
made a grapple at the watch, which roused the poor man
to a sense of the situation in which he was placed, and he
instantly took a firm hold of the chain. The watch, how-
ever, was pulled from him ; and on the alarm being given,
the whole company were taken into custody, and the
watch, after two days' search, was found by that active
officer, RODERICK GRANT, concealed among the grass in
the Greyfriars' Church-yard.—Caledonian Mercury.

On Friday, a tradesman who is subject to
epilepsy, fell down in a fit upon the pavement, opposite the
Cross, and had his head cut very severely. Some salt
(now the usual specific for that complaint), was put into
his mouth by one of the female bystanders ; on which, he
instantly recovered, and walked to the Police-office to get
his wound dressed.—Edinbmgh Evening Courant.

WH IMSICAL MISTAKE—On 'Nouday morn-
ing, an Irish couple presented themselves at the altar of our
parish church to he married. When the ceremony had
proceeded to the part in which the man takes the woman
for Isis wedded wife, and the minister has instructed him
to repeat the words " to have and to hold from this day
forward," the Irishman turned up his head, and with the
utmost gravity and simplicity, exclaimed, " Whst,
Ito have her till this day fortnight I" 'Die evident con-
cern the snan felt at the idea of being kept two weeks
longer in suspence, and the amusing nature of the mistake,
would have provoked the risibility of any one, and it was
with difficulty the minister could attempt to rectify the
Islander, and proceed with the ceremony,--Sheffie/d
Courant.

BARBA DORS, JULY 11.—His Majesty's; ship
victor arrived yesterday from St. Kitt's, fell in with, Ist
instant, on the ttorth side of St. Thomas's, throe Qpanish
ships of war, one of them of a large ells, with transports
and other vessels, in all Line sail, hound to Porto Rico.
This force will probably be joined to that at the Havanna!),
under LA Bottnr, with a view of snaking some attempts
on Mexico. The Barbadian of the 11th tilt. says, we
are authorised to state, that in future no slave will. be
allowed to depart from the island unless in time character
of a domestic, and that no goods, the produce of the United
States of America, from foreign islands, in British vessels,
will be admitted to an entry if transhipped from an Ame-
rican vessel, but are admissible to entry if taken from the
shore ; and vessels violating the latter order, if kingeT
tons, are liable to furfeituVt'.
