DUBLIN, Nov. 7.—The vacancy created in the
reFtientation of the county of Meath, by the acces-
sion of Lord Bective to the peerage, on the death of
his father, the Marquis of lleadfort, will be filled.
and I have reason to believe without opposition, by
Lord Killeen, the son of the Earl of Fingal. The
county of Meath is, from its vicinity to Dublin, from
the fertility of its soil, and the number and wealth
of its resident proprietary, one of the most consider-
able in the island. The greatest resident landlord
is Mr. Napper, a gentleman of 20,000/. a year, and
who, of course, has fair claims upon the represen-
tation. It is understood, however, that this gentle-
man gives his support to Lord Killeen. Lord Clif-
ton, the son of the Earl of Darnley, has also con-
siderable pretensions, but it is understood that his
Lordship declines pressing them on the present oc-
eoilin. The thity person mentioned as at all likely
talse the s't'andard of opposition is
,a Mr. Wade ;
kjut the ttersise of the county is already expressed so
Ovoi*.,lly in favour of Lord Killeen,that it is thought
Wade will think better of it. Mr. Wade is an
Orangeman, or rather what is called a high Protes-
tant, and the only man; I believe, of considerable
prnperty ih that county that is so. Now, should
Lutd killett be returned, of which for my part I
have no doubts tiae event will be remarkable in this
l'eNpect Ott! forty-shilling constituency is no more,
kf.kt 'Catholic interest in the county arising from
0.1", source is at an end. Though there is great
tttholic property in the county, both of an ancient
thte,—for Meath belonged to the pale,—and of
recent acquirement,—still the greater part is Protes-
tant ; and it has so happened, that fewer ten-pound
freeholders have been registers] in Meath, than I
believe in any other county Gf its size and impor-
tance in Ireland. Satisfied with the Catholic Relief
as well as with their representatives, the people
appear to have rested on their oars, and The conse-
quence at present is, that the constituency are
generally fifty-pound freeholders—Protestants and
Protestant Clergymen. By these will Lord Killeen
have been elected.—Morning Paper.

DUBLIN, Nov. 7.

ArPLICATiON OF TIIE LORD MAYOR TO GOVERNMENT

UN BEHALF OF TILE MURDERERS OF HANLON ; AND

'IIIEIR EXECUTION.

Late yesterday evening an appEcation was made
to the Chief Magistrate, froM the heads of the va-
rious operative classes in this city, proposing that if
the byes of Mellon and Magrath were spared, the
therent bodies would dissolve themselves, deliver
tip to Ihe authorities all their books and papers, and
solemnly promise never again to unite in any unlaw-
ful confederacy.
. .

The LORD MAYOR immediately waited on the
Chief Baron (before whom the prisoners were tried)
and they proceeded to,ether to Lord Leveson,
tower, to whom the proposition was submitted.—
I s Lordship, however, stated that the frightful
I.pirit of combination bad attained such a height,
mid so many unfortut ate men had fallen victim; to
it.; fury, that a dreadful example was necessary; and
as the crime in which Mellon and Magrath were con-
cerned was one of the most cruel and sanguinary
murders ever perpetrated in a great city, Government
could not interfere, and the law must take its cour'e.
The wretched criminals, who were not aware of
Ibis application on their behalf, have conducted
themselves with a fortitude worthy a better cause.
They admit the justice of their sentence, and await
.pith re.ignation the awful hour that is to separate
them from the world. Immense crowds of people
are surrounding Newgate, and the adjacent streets
.are crowded to suffocation.

ONE o'CLOCK.—The unfortunate culprits have
just appeared on the drop. The great mass of the
reople are hushed in breathless silence, which is oc-
casionally interrupted by a few faint cries from females.

. .
HALF-PAST ONE.—The scene is over—and the
first criminals ever convicted of a murder arising
from combination have ceased to exist. A strong
detachment of police and military are about to con-
duct the bodies for dissection to the Surgeons' Hall.

The inhabitants of Mien, county of Gal-
wap, have entered into resolutions to put down, in every
legal u ay, the attempts now made by persons to register
01. freeholds, who have no pretence whatever for so
doing.—Cork Constitution.

We have heard that MOSEY, the Snydell
murderer, is likely to be brought to justice. It is ascer-
tained that he is in America; and officers have been sent
uver for his apprehension. It is said that a letter sent
from him to his mother has fallen into the bands of the
frrm her inability to pay the postage.—Leeds

On Tuesday, at a meeting of the Common
Council of Waterford, JOHN ARCHBOLD, Esq., was elected
a Common Councilman, or Assistant, in the room of
A EXANDER WALLACE, Esq., resigned. Mr. ARCHBOLD
is a Catholic—the second Catholic admitted into the Cor-
p• ration since the passing of the Relief Bill.— Tipperary

The whole of the fishing-ships have now ar-
rived, with the exception of the Ellison, which is daily
expected. The produce of the fishery is calculated at
shout 9,000 tons of oil ; in 1828 it was about 13,000
tons, and in 1827 about 17,000 tons. We accidentally
omitted to mention, last week, the buss of the Dauntless,
BRAN BA m, of this port, which took place in thick weather
off Cape Searle, on the 24th of September. The crew
were all caved, as was also, we understand, part of the
stores and blubber. The Dauntless had caught thirteen
fish and about 120 tons of oil, when the unfortunate event
occurred.—Hull Advertis r.

At Chockier, in the province of Liege, a dis-
covery very interesting to geology has been just made.
About a month ago the director of a lime-burning esta
blishment found some bones in a fissure of chalk-stone,
situated upwards of 150 Flanders ells below the level of
the Meuse (Meese). He communicated this discovery to
D SCHMERLING, who instituted a search and collected
a great number of organic remains. Messrs. GAEDA and
Lavy, Professors of the University, have been to visit this
place, and in a very short time they found hones them-
selves, and several teeth, amongst which there were teeth
of bears, of hyenas, lions, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses,
&c. Every thing indicates that this depot is ana-
logous to 'hose found in several countries, either in na-
tural caverns or in the fissures of rocks, which have for
several years past fixed the attention of geologists, and
especially of the celebrated Dr. BUCKLAND, Professor of
Geology at the celebrated University of Oxford. He pub-
lished a work intitled " Reliquian Antede!uviatice," &c
The bons a found at Chockier are the more interesting, as
this is the third or fourth example of a similar depot
found in lime-stone, of as remote a geological epoch as
that to which those found near Liege are attributed.

The following is an account of the manage-
mer.t of w ill tre s in Holland. It is in the form of a
conversation with a Dutchman :—" You, in England,"
said the Dutch gardener, " nail your fruit trees to a brick
wall by me ins of selvages of cloth ; and you invent pa-
tent composition as the acme of perfection. Now mark
the cohs:•qurnce ; your fruit must swell all round alike,
but its fruit-spur is kept close to the wall ; the fruit
pressed against the wall acquires a hard scurfy scab that
never softens, or acquires any eatable quality. This you
call wall-burnt, or some such term. Again, in two or
three years your nicely-jointed brick wall becomes a riddle •
of nail-holes, most admirably adapted to be the nest of
eggs of every insect that by instinct places them near
the food fit fur the young progeny. Then again, the
driving the nai's and replacing the cloth bands in a long
wall occupies the assistant for two months in the spring.
i‘irrk our simple method. I plant into the ground, within
a few inches of the foot of the wall, willow or hazel rods
peeled, at the distance of eight inches from one another,
and each reaching to the top of the wall. Thin long
laths of deal are laid across, and the rods are nailed to
tiem, the lath being between the rods and the wall. A
:similar line of laths is placed along the foot of the willow
rods. A few loops of iron are nailed into the wall, to
prevent the framework, if it may be so termed, from shift-
ing. Then the branaes of the fruit trees are bound to
each upright rod, simply by a string of Russian bass mat-
ting. Now this is done more rapidly than can be done
by your man of nai's and cloth and hammer. The fruit
Las room to swell all round ; no vermin harbours in the
wall ; and the gardener can preserve his trees more effec-
tually, and keep the main stock in a more healthy state,
than when compressed with its boughs against the wall
lLe rods need not be thicker than a man's thumb,"

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1829.

We are given to understand that all the
Common Law Arrangements have at length
been decided on by the proper authorities. It is
not intended to fill up any vaca►►cies on the
Bench till after the new arrangements have re-
ceived the concurrence of Parliament. For this

purpose a Bill is to be brought in early in the
ensuing Session, so as to pass through before
the Spring Circuit. Two additional Judges
are to be appointed, and Mr. Justice BUR-
ROUGH retains his scat on the Bench till the
new arrangements arc finally completed.
W ith respect to the changes contemplated in

the Equity Jurisdiction, the parties most inte-
rested are not yet agreed, but it is expected that
matters will be satisfactorily arranged in that
department, also, before the meeting of Par-
liament.

A Privy Council was to have been held at
Windsor Castle this day, the summonses for
which were issued yesterday, but early in the
morning a messenger arrived in town with
orders from his MAJESTY to countermand it.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, with the Gazette
de. France dated Monday, have been received.
The Message). des Chambrcs states that Count
CAPO D'ISTRIA was preparing to proceed to
the Russian head-quarters at Adrianople, but
for what purpose is not mentioned. We have
no doubt it is to get his secret instructions from
General DIEBITSCH, as to the best manner of
serving the views of their Imperial Master with
respect to the future destinies of Greece. How
far their plans may succeed we cannot divine,
but one thing is note certain, that as the policy
of Russia is better understood, the EMPEROR
will find it more difficult than formerly to ac-
complish his purpose. England and France are
now both on their guard, and the Russian must
shape his plans accordingly.
The Gazette de France places among the
mistakes of the Journals the statement that a
courier had brought to the Austrian Legation
news that the Emperor of RUSSIA had modified
the terms of the Treaty with Turkey :
(From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.)

TRIESTE, OCT. 21.

An English steam-boat has brought us word that Count
Capo d'lstria was preparing, with the approbation of the
Ministers of England and France, to proceed to the Rus-
sian head quarters at Adrianople. It is said that he will
land at Enos, whence he will continue his journey by land.
It is hoped that he will remain at the head of the Greek
Government, and that in this quality he will take part in
the negotiations respecting the affairs of Greece.

VIENNA, OCT. 29.

A Russian courier has passed through this city on his
way to Constantinople. An English courier has arrived
from London, and an Austrian courier has been dispatched

to Paris.

(From the Gazette de France of Monday. )

FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, OCT. 21.

Accounts from Constantinople up to the 9th have been
received. Halil Pacha had not yet set out on his mission
to St. Petcrsburgh, but every thing was preparing for his

journey, and especially rich presents for the Emperor and
Empress. It is added, the Porte daily gives fresh proofs
of its intention punctually to execute the treaty of peace.
The freedom of commerce has a great influence on busi-
ness, and, since the 25th of September, above 160 ships
of all nations had passed from the Mediterranean on their
way to the Black Sea. Three Russian ships had also
passed, but had not stopped or taken any firtnans.
(From the Allgemeine Zeitung of Nov. 4.)
BUCHAREST, OCT. 16.

For some days past the Russian Authorities have been
hiring houses, and there is no doubt but General Geismar,
with part of his corps, will soon return to this city. The
Pacha of Scutari has begun to send his troops to their own
homes, and they are now dispersing themselves in all di-
rections. The Commissioners, to whom the fortress of
Ghiurgevo is to be given up, have left Bucharest. For
five days we had had no case of plague, and began to be
inure easy, when all at once the plague appeared in two
bower!, which bad hitherto been free. Letters from Jassy
of the 11th say, that signs of the plague had manifest.d
themselves there.
VIENNA, OCT. 30.—Metalliques, 1024 ; Bank Shares,

German Papers of the 3d Nov. have been re-
ceived. The reappearance of the plague in
Moldavia and Wallachia has occasioned some
alarm. The understanding in the Russian army
was that the EMPEROR had remitted four mil-
lions of (bleats in the amount of the indemnity,
and that in consequence the Turkish territory
would be evacuated four years sooner than was
anticipated. In the meantime large purchases of
horses are made in Poland to remount the Ca-
valry. Russia does wisely to be prepared:—
FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, OCT. 23.

Within these few days it is reported that various cases
of pl igue have occurred in the principalities, namely, at
Jassy and Bucharest, which have induced the authorities
take the promptest measures, several soldiers of the
garrison having been attacked. It is believed; that in cell-

sequence of this circumstance, the troops left for the occu
pation of the principalities will not be numerous.

It is thought, in the Russian army, that the Ports ha`
obtained a reduction of four millions of ducats in the
amount of the military contributions; and that the Em..
peror Nicholas intends, on this account, to older the eva_
cuation of the Turkish territory four years before the tits
stipulated at Adrianople. Large purchases of horses are
making in Poland, to remount the light cavalry.

EGINA, SEPT. 2.

The National Congress at Argos has passed the follow-
ing resolution respecting the decision of causes that were
pending in the criminal courts before the arrival of the
President of Greece :—lst, all disputes between natives of
the country, arising from actions that are to be considered
as crimes or misdemeanours committed between.the_2Bth

of Feb. (0. S.) 1821, and the installation of the Provi-
sional Government in 1826, shall be decided on the first
and last instance by a tribunal of arbitration, consisting of
three members; 2d, each of the two parties will name an
arbitrator; the third will 15e appointed by the Govern-
ment, the majority of two decides; 3d, if the plaintiff or
the dependent does not name his arbitrator, t'ie Govern-
ment has the right to appoint him ; 4th, the arbitrators
are chiefly to aim in the execution of their duties at the ex-
tinction of hostile passions, and take equity for
their guide. In all the above cases, the usual course
of proceeding shall be observed with the reserve of
such modifications as the Government may think fit to
order, either in general or for the particular cases.
6. This tribunal decides finally on such cases with respect
to the damages to which the plaintiff has proved his
right, but every thing relative to the application of the
punishment is left to the Government."

The last (13th) decree of the National Congress relates
to the re assembling of the Fourth Congress, and the re-
newal of its sittings. The members of the present Con-
gress will form the next assembly, which is to be consi-
dered as only the continuation of the present. As soon
as the Government has prepared the plan of a Constitu-
tion, or when the casts enumerated in the 3d Article of
the first decree render it necessary, the members of the
present Congress are to be again called together.

By advices from Rio Janeiro we learn that

the new Sugar crop was not expected in the
market before the middle of October. The
Coffees of the new crop had come in very fast.
Hides were steady, but small ones not much in
demand.

Letters from Lima to the latter part of July
confirm the intelligence of the admission of the
prohibited articles on payment of certain duties,
amounting to 90 per cent., of which 50 per cent.
was to be paid in cash, and the remaining 40 per
cent. in billettes (Government securities). Flour
was an exception to this, the whole of the duty
being payable in cash. Every thing was tranquil
at Lima, and the citizens are said to be satisfied
with the change of Government. It was sup-
posed at the meeting of Congress that the 90 per
cent. duties would be reduced to 30 per cent.,
he old standard. General LA FUENTE, the
officiating President, was in favour of low duties
and commerce with foreigners. He had offered
to the Mining Companies all the assistance in
his power, both in money and mules, to get the
mines in work, which it was expected would go
into operation in January. The Markets were
very dull, and money extremely scarce. Dollars
were at 3 per cent. premium.

The following communication from our Paris
Correspondent would have appeared yesterday,
did space allow. It gives a view of the state of
parties in France. The reported recognition of
Don MIGUEL by France is not credited, though
the thing is by no means improbable, provided
the Usurper is disposed to marry the sister of the
Duchess of BERRI. These matrimonial matches
often overcome many scruples off state as well as
