The following is the Address of that respect-
able Body the Society of Friends to tie King :
" To GEORGE the Foul2TH, King of the United Kingdom of

Great Britain and Ireland.

" May it please the King—it having been the
will of the Almighty to remove by death thy
Fa. her, and to permit thee to ascend the
Throne or this realm, we thy dutiful and filth-
ful subjects in Ireland, of the Society of
Friends, commonly called Quakers, desire
thus to approach thee, and bearing in remem-
brance the long and eventful reign of thy
revered Father, the recollection of whirse many
virtues is precious to us, we' gratefully acknow-
ledge the kind disposition he evinced towards us
as a Society, holding as we do some religious sell,
riments dillerent from his other subjects, thus ex-
Is biting his feeling for conscientiods_sCiirples, and
evincing thereby bis own religious consideration
and acknowledgment of the power of Him whose
tighrit is to- rule in the hearts of the children of
wen. •

" ‘Ve feel hound by the ties of duty and grati-
tude, to fidelity and attachment to thy Goretn-
ment. We are also hound by the stronger ties of
those Christian -princil►les which -teach us sub-
mission to these in authority, and first to the
King as supreme.

•‘ We look back with satisfaction to arose ad-
vances in the cause of humanity, and towards the
amelioration of the state of mankind, which took
place in the reign of our late King, doting which
an Act was passed for abolishing that great evil,
the Aftican Slave Trade—aod thy Royal Father
encouraged by his example the zeal and efforts of
.his subjects in promoting the diffusion of educa-
tion, and the general dissemination of the Holy
Scriptures-Imm this the good effects have ex-
tended to neighbouring nations, and even to those
that are remote.

• " We offer thee our respectful congratula-
tions on thy accession to the British Throne,
and with feelings of gratitude to Him tt►tit
ruleth in the Kingdoms of men, for that stare
of peace in which the sceptre of this' great
Kingdom has been delivered into-thy hands.—
We pray that He may cause this blessing to
COntinnel may He influence thy heart to seek his
divine council in all thy sees, Kraut, thee his
holy aid•to perform all -the•various, great, anil im-
portant duties of thy high station.. so that being
enabled to rule in righteousness, thou mayest, in
the end, exchange thy earthly Crown for au in-
corruptible Crown of Glory. •

At an early hour this morning, a great number
of Workmen proceeded- to the place where the
New, City Gaol is erecting, and forcibly turned
away all those employed on that building, who
were not naives of this city. One of those, an
Englishman, was very severely beaten by them.
They then proceeded to the house of 'Mr. Deane,
the Architect, under whose superintenden:e that
work is carried on, and were preparing to injure
that dwelling, when they were Prevented by some
sentinels stationed in the neighbourhood. From
the number in which they afterwards "appeared in
the streets, and the ill temper they she wed, it was
deemed necessary to have a party of ',ruse in
readiness to repress any violence They'Otay offer.
Their conduct was the more inexcusable, as the
Mayor and Sheriffs had yesterday interested
themselves in their behalf, and given them every
satisfaction which they could reasonably expect.
Mr: Deane also, with-that llberality for which he
is distinguished., acceded as far as possible to their
wishes.. Yet -so senseless are people of that de-
scription, especially when under the pressure of
distress, that they appear incapable lorreasoning,
and commit acts which always tend to aggravate
their sufferings. ,This has been 'strongly exem-
plified in the present case,. as Mr. Deane has
been obliged by their violence to put.a stop to the
building, and discharge all his workmen.--(Cork
Advertiser,..htne 6.)

DaEADFVT. AcCIDBNT.— Yesterday evening,
about eight o'clock, a fire was discovered at a
house in Short's-gardens,.Dtury-lane, and at the
Same. time dreadful screams proceeded from an
apartment occupied by .a poor woman named
Sweeny, lodging •on• the first floor. The neigh-
bours found the dour.of the room locked,'and on
btesking. it open, found her little' girl, a Child
about nine years old, in the fire, burned in a
most horrible manner ; there was only ■ younger
child in the room, the mother having gone out to
market. the chimney was still on fire.' 'Die
poor sufferer was taken to the Hospital, where
she expired.

On Wednesday morning last, whilst four men
were fumigating the Prince Ernest packet, at
Falmouth, with squibs (After the removal of the
corpse of Lady PowenscouaT), a spark of fire
accidentally communicated with the magazine,
which had been incautiously left •opru, and in
which was about fitty pounds of gunpowder,
which instantly exploded, blowing the deck
and cabin, from the mainmast to the stern, to
atoms, and shivering t►te_ mainmast. One man
had .his thigh and collar-bone Woken, and an
another bad his head severe y cut. The damage
the packet has sustained it estimated at from
seven to eight bundled pounds.-- (Plymouth
