An unusual spectacle has since Sunday last
been exhibited in Whiie Hart-yard, communicat-

a man rarading before several houses with 'a
lighted candle and lantern great curiosity, as
might he expected, has been excited, and several
individuals attracted to witness 'so novel a sight.
These brothels have been too long allowed to
exist, and it is a subject of surprise that the at.
retain!) of the Police has not been directed to re-
move—the thieves of all descriptions, (many of
whotn must be known to the officers,) that infest
the neighbourhood, and are in part supported by
the unfortunate inmates of these dens of infamy,
in which, we are ►nfortr,ed that females, apparently
not more than fourteen years of age, reside fur
the avowed purposes of. prostitution. Several
persons have been plundered and ill used, and it
is not many weeks since a Gentleman,, in a state
of inebriety; was enticed into one of lie houses,
a ittl robbed of more than 300 pontiffs in notes.
and a valt.able gold watch. These brothels, it is
said, are kept by a woman, who, it is added. has
several in other situations, and employs servants
in their rminagement, one of Whom is represented
as her mother, and others as her sisters, while her
husband, according to report, keeps a shop in an-
or;'ier- vicinity and is, apparently, nn honest trades-
man ! It is stated, that the parties are 46 be in-

THE NATIONAL SEINES MEDALS.

MR. Enrron---The liberality with witich your
columns have been at all times open to the re-
marks of Medalists and the Lovers of the Fine
Arts, and whclt liaise been of Isre more especially
. • ,
eai,ed forth by the interest and admiration excited
by the. progress of'Mr. Monies truly splendid,
pattiotie, FiOd national undertriking, induces me
to avail myself of your kindness, and wl4ich I am
the more impelled to do, as I find that the 3Mi
Medal of the Series has been published, so that
we may look to its completion as being on the
eve of accomplishment. Restricted as Mr. Mu-
DIE has been by his plait to very narrow limits
(compared with the subjects which might, and
which I could wish the patronage of the Publ c
may yet induce hiM to record, by doubling the
number of his Medals), great praise is due to this
Gentleman for the judgment with which he has
selected the most interesting. front a crowd of
brilliant and important events, and the impartial
division which he has Made of Civil, Naval, and
Military Occurrences, so as to give as faithful and
COMprehenSive a view of the most prominent and
interesting circumstances which this remarkable
period of our history affords to the attentive ob-
server. In the first.division of these subjects, I
know not of any one-which is more singular in
our annals, or which excited more interest at the
tiMe, than the visit of the Allied Sovereigns of
Rnsst,i- and PrUssia to this country in 1814, and
avhiet Lain glad to find has been selected by Mr.
Muiste as the subject of the Medal just publish-
ed, and which will record to future generatioes
the tribute of respect which by this Visit was paid
by these MOsarchi to that noble system of action
laid down by the immortal PITT (who may justly
be styled to have been " the exciting salvation of
Britain ;)" and by steadily put siting which,' his
suecessors not only " weathered the storm," but,
with their own, preserved also the liberties and
independence of Eurbpe ; sentiments which 'were
treokteolv ex tressed (and with great justice) by
these August Persons on various occasions. It
has been to me a matter of surprise and regret
that this visit has not been recorded by a Medal
Worti.y of the occasion ; and I feel, therefore;
the more obliged to Mr. MUDIE for repairing the
omission and tteglect of others. 'the oh,erse of.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DUBLINT, MAY 28.

BREACH OF PROMISE: OF AIARRIAGE.

OiRELLY V. KEARNEY.

Mr. PHILLIPS applied to the Court that this
case, which was specially fixed fur this day, might
be postponed for the present, as it was then tin-
der compromise, •and -all probability would be
seLt ;et, before the day next appointed for trial.
Lord -NOHBURY said it would be desirable that
theilarties would arrange matters amicably be-
tmeen_.them ; and in order to afford than titne to
effect which, he would order the cause to be put
last nn the list.

We understand that a comprouCse has since
been entered into, the plaintiff having consented
to receive 3,5001.

CORK, MAY 25.—0 n Wednesday evening the
Deputy Witter Bailiff, Mr. BECHER, attended by
a constable, boarded off the Sovereign's Island,
near Kinsale'," the brig zanies Fitzpatrick, bound
for Philadelphia, which had left this pOrt
on the preceding evening, in search of a per-
son of the name of Twomey, Who had acted
as Tithe Proctor to the Rev. iwJr. Beaufort, of
Cloyne, .and had eloped seVeral days ago with
it sum over two thousand pounds, partly be-
longing to that gentleman, partly to others,
by whom he bad been confidently employed.
Atter diligent search he was found concealed in the
coal-scuttle, but Considerable risk and difficulty
were encountered in taking him ashore, as the other
passengers opposed it ; and it was not until theCap-
rain had threatened to run the vessel into Kinsale
that they desisted from resistance, and suffered
Twomey to be put 'on board the boat which was
alongside the ship, in order to be carried on shore.
This, however, was at length effected, and the
prisoner condtiC!ed to the county jail—but we
understand the capture of the man is not likely to
lead to a recovery of the proflet't y,as that was traus-
ferretl to his wife, who was on board, but against
whom there was no warrant, and she proecetied
on the voyage. Such are the patticulars we have
learned of this transaction, of the correctness of
‘vhien we have reason to be assured.—(Curk
