ROYAL ACADLNIY.

Having yesterday been obliged to give R brief
and hasty account of 'lllr. SOANE'a Lecture on
Thutsday last, we avail ourselves of the follow-
ing additional notices from a respectable Morn.
iug Paper :
" The Professor lamented the scantiness of patronage and
encouracernent extended tjWiirtiS young Architects. He con-
sidered this to be one of the principal reasons why London,
in all parts, is so disgraced by meagre and despicable build-
ings. An idea of penury is ever conveyed by the constant oc-
currence of little portico's of only four columns to houses
intended to be in a great style of art. A spirit of par,imony
has not only stinted buildings in the course of election, but
has stripped finished and perfect works: it has lately entered
and robbed Wardour House (the excellent production of Sir
Wm. ('limunraS)i. of the gi eater part of its beauties. The
general neglect n out-houses, &c. was very reprehensible.—
Mr. Suave considered, that donicstic offices, coach houses,
and stables, reqnired as much attention as a drawing or
dining room, in order to render them parts of one grand
whole. With respect to chimneys, although the closeness
of the buildings in London prevented them from bring erect.
ed upon the exterior, it was nevertheless the preferable mode ;
yet they should never be, as frequently in the case of country-
houses, of a circular form. In the course of the evening,
Mr. SOANg recounted the whims of various Architects in the
disigns of their own houses. That of One JOHN TANK, who
lived in the reigns of ELIZABETH and JANIKII, was eery remit' k-
able. The ground plan of this man's remarkable house, or
rather twa houses, was in the forms of his initials, J. and I'.;
and he posted the following upon the wall—
" J. and T. joined together as you see,
Make a dwelling- house for me. J. 'l'.
" Even 'Nino JONES was nut free from these grotesqua
conceits."—(.Horning Herald.)

THE THEATRE ROYAL AND iNla.
dital-like, The Dublin Evening Post now threatens
Mr; HARRIS with the denunciation, by the Public,
of hinist-If and his property, if he shall get the Pa-
tent, because he is an Englishman ! and yet this
is the very paper which soot only railed a: NI..
Jolsßa, for his total incapacity as a Manager, but
also raked up the ashes of the dead to impugn
his pnblic character ! Thus it is with the radical
system ; it is never to he satisfied with any other
change or alteration, but what originates with
themselves. Now, to us who are plain people, we
feel perfectly satisfied with the change, and only
hope, what indeed we nerd not doubt, unless the
fault lie with Mr. JoNes himself, that he will be
liberally provided for—the minor Proprietors and
the 13und-holders secured, and the public ,•nter-
tained. Such will be the effects of Mr. Harris
getting the Patent. Let the public appreciate,
from the style in whicb ibe Theatre has been ma-
naged heretofore, bow it insist be conducted hence-
forward.—(Hibernian Journal, March 1.)
HENRY HARRIS, Esq., and his brother Captain
Haatus, will set out for .Dublin, next week, to
take possession of Crow-street Thrattv, of ‘rhich

RIBBON SYSTEM.
ALARMING PROGRESS OF THE BANDITTI.

Our intelligence from the West, received this
morning, is very alarming. We shall endeavour
to comprhe the different accounts in ds few words
Fts possible.

From Abascrag, a village in Galway, on the
borders of the County of Roscommon, we learn,
that the police were attacked by the country peo-
ple who had assembled on Sunday to hear mass.
The police men b eing unprepared .vere severely
beaten. At Kilvonnel in Galway, an affray took
place bet Neel) the Police and Ribboomen. The
combs( was well contested, but the former were
overpowered by numbers and two were railed.
Twelve Ribbonmen ►►ere marched into Tuant on
Solid under an escort of.. the 78 h Regiment,
from Moylough, and next morning dispatched to
Galway.

nom the Comity of Clare we learn, that the
ports of Ballinvilla and Coloaclea, on the borders
of Miyo, were attacked on Friday night by a party
of Ribbonmeu from Roscommon. Their object
was to force their way into ►llayo, btu they were
driven hack with the loss of two killed and one
mortally wounded. The latter, who appears to be
a man of considerable respectability, evinced great
contrition for his ►fence, admitted he met his fate
in rebellion against the King's Government,
begged pardon of God for the crime, and hoped'
his deluded companions would return !o their
allegiance.
The Mayo Constitution of Monday says, that
" the Mail Guard and passengers, who arrived
here last night (Sunday) state, that eight or nine-
dead bodies (policemen, we greatly fear, from the
description) were lying on the road, yesterday, as
the Coach passed by near Ahascragh in the
County of Galway. It is much to be apprehend-
ed that these unfortunate men were surprised and
murdered by the rebels. A great crowd was seen
at A short distance from them. The coach passed
hastily on, and we have no particulars of an af-
fair so eminently calculated to produce the most
anxious concern."

We have repeatedly men•ionet! that the Ribbon
system, it not speedily suppressed, would assume
n formidable aspect. The following letter frctn
Mr. Browne to the Marquess of Sligo, is some-
thing like General Paez's dispatches to the Su-
preme Chief of Venezuela. 'Io be serious—we
must express our regret that Mr. Btto►rna has
given a sort of military character to the events he
describes, for, as yet, we scarcely think that the
bandit►i and their movements ought to be treated
with so much respect.

Clare, Februrry 24, 1820.

Mr Lotto,—Herewith I transmit a detailed statement of
the events that occurred here during the last few days. On
the night of Tuesday, the 24d inst. the rebels from the coun-
ties of Roscommon and Galway made a concentrated move-
ment thruugh the pass towards Mayo, between Dunraacrcena
and Belmont, having taken advantage of the absence of Cap-
tain Higgins, who had been deta,ched from thence a few
days before to Kilmaiue, to observe their movements On
that side.

Their numbers may probably have amounted to twelve or
thirteen hundred men; and while a rebel column of 500 men
was posted before Dunmacreena, to keep the detachment sta-
tioned there in check, they passed into Mayo, broke into se-
veral columns, and proceeded towards the different villages, in
the direction of Musickfield and Ballindangan, to swear the
people of those villages, and were itnmediately fallen in with,
by a patrole of the 39th Regiment, under the direction of
the Rev. Denis Browne, and checked in their proceedings.
Its the meantime, notwithstanding the determination of
those ruffians to attack the post at Dunutacreena, Captain
Crean formed the resolution to detach a party in their rear
to attack them, and succeeded in making eight prisoners and
putting a column of them to the route ; but fearing they
might attack Dunmacreena, he countermarched and lodged
his prisoners at the barrack, when the symptoms of attack
MI the part of the insurgents continued to increase. Ile
therefore determined instantly to transmit the prisoners to
Clare to the Right Hun. Denis Browne, under an escort of
Yroistanry, who were attached on the road near Ballindan-
gan, by a party of rebels, collected together from the co-
lumns that had been•previously dispersed. 'l hey were obliged
to fire four volleys on the Insurgents, whom they (trues off
after making their Leader prisoner; and from the quantity of
blood which appeared on the road, it is supposed some of the
assailants must bare been severely woanded.
An express in the mean time reached Clare, when the
Right Hon. Denis Browne and Colonel Browne advanced
with a party of the 39th Regiment, under the command of
Major D'Arey, to the assistance of ;he Yeomanry, and were
joined on the road by Dominick Browne, Esq. 'Member for
the County, his brother, Mr. George Browne, and Doctor
Keane of Castlebar, with number of Gentleitsen and armed
Servants from Castle Mount-Garrett, who succeeded in driv-
ing those mi.creants into the County of Galway. without
coming in contact with them, since which time the posts
have been reinforced and tranquillity restored.
I have the honour to be, my Lord,
Yonr very obedient Servant,
HENRY BROWNS.

The Marquess of Sligo,
Governor of Mayo, &c. &c. &c.

TIM SCOTCH RADICALS.

GLASGOW, FeB. Tuesday, where
the Authorities entered the house in Gallowgate,
where the delegates were seized, the girl rata
screaming to the room where they were, crying
to them that they were " all gone." The
men were thunder-struck, and suibmitted
quietly. One person tore a letter to pieces ;
but not so effectually as to prevent its
being Again put together. Another letter was
thrown into the fire, and was so muct► spoiled
as to be illegible. Several atheistical works
were lying on the table. The nnn►ber of sen-
tinels is increased at the garrison as well as
at the gaol, and last night one of the hussars
was placed at the gaol as a sentinel, in addition
to the f,,Lit soldiers. The total number imprison-
ed on the Sheriff's warrant is thirty. In addition
►o these, three were apprehended on suspicion of
Braking pikes, at the instance tat the Magistrates.
The present object of the Radicals, as was for-
merly noticed, is a general strike, on the Ist of
March, of all the working classes, until they ob-
tain a re•titation of their political rights,"
Orator Brayshatv lately paid another visit to
this place. He spent tour days in Paisley and
this loon in visiting such of his friends as were
at liberty. He went off on Sunday night. •
We are sorry to learn that the Military have of
late been a gleat cleat insulted by the populace ;
and it is not in human nature that such maltreat,
nt can be sustained .such longer without reta-
liation.
