A Meeting was held in Dublin, on, the. 19th
instant, and Resolutions -passed, condemning the
treatment which Mr. WALLAcE had received
from Captain M'N.AmxttA, and offering a rewarti
of 200 guineas for the apprehension-of the latter.
The Dublin Register says, that the advertise-
ment, summoning the above Meeting, was drawn
up -by Mr. WALLACE himself ; and that he got it
posted through Dublin, and printed in the news- .
papers at no inconsiderable expellee.
Lord and Lady STEWART have each subscrib-
ed five guineas annually to the Durham In-
firmary.
Mr. RoncaTs, one of the Representatives for
Maidstone, gave, on Saturday last, a fine piece'of
beef to- every one of his constituents who thought
proper to accept of it.
A Lochaber correspondent observes, ". that
the spirit of liberality, and hospitable kindness,
once so prevalent amongst the. Highland chiefs,
yet remains unabated in the generosity displAyed
by LocHIEL, to the tenantry on his extensive
estates. The severe losses sustained by sheep
farmers and. graziers, for some time past, met
with LOCHIECS attention; and without request,
he granted for three years a deduction of 20
and 10 percent. over all his property—an ex ,
ample worthy of the imitation of all proprie-
tors. Lochiel's hospitality, in Annually giving a
dinner, with a plentiful supply. of venison from
his deer forest, to all his tenants, on each day of
the collection of his rents, is also sensibly felt
and acknowledged by his people."—(lnverness

The confectioners yesterday commenced stor-.
ing' their ice-houses with that summer luxury ;
but the most frozen pieces did not exceed one

The following article appears in an American
Paper, under the head of Salem, the 22d of
September We are told that the "following
scene took 'place, in Norman-street, a few days
since; A ha lf-growrrcat, more bolda perhaps, than
1)11140, fastened upon a large rat that was out
upon i'foraging expedition, but was on the point
of losing its prey for want of strength to hold
it ; at this critical moment the cat was. Opportun-
ely reinforced by an old hen; which
.had pro-
bably be-en bereaved of some of her tender off-
spring by .this merciless depredator, and which,
while puss still kept her hold on her. antago-
nist, actually picked Out his eyes ;,the rat, how-..
ever, blinded as he was, still maintained the unequal
contest, till the mother-cat, seeing the struggle
from a distance, flew also to the aid of her brave
little mouser, and soon decided the fate of . the
clay, carrying off the before. half-conquered bar-
barian in triumph."
THE FIRE FLy.—The insect called the Fire-
fly exhibits a most beautiful appearance on a dark evening.
When a vast number -of these flies settle on the branches of:.
tree, they illuminate the whole tree, and produce one of the
most!pleasing appearancest hat exists in nature. The birds nests
hanging on trees are among the most curious productions of in-
stinct. One kind, which is mostly suspended on the branches of
the tale tree. contains a \long round entrance from the bot-
tom to the middle room, and at the top of that is the, nest,
inclosed and supported by a belt. Another .kind has actually
a trap door to it, which the bird lifts up with its beak
as it enters, and which falls doWn of its own accord
after time bird has entered or flown out. Another of these
hanging nests, equally curious, if not more so, is made with
fine moss and hair, and inclosed in large leaves act ualil
sewed together with the fibres by the bird—certainly with the
greatest propriety called the " taylor bird." •
SUICIDE.— Yesterday, John Griffiths, the
coachman to C. WARREN, Esq. of Bedford-
square, put a period.. to his existence by nearly
severing the head from his body; with a razor,
at• the stables in Gower's Mews. The unfortu-
nate deceased had lived with the family a number
of years, and was much respected, No cauP.!
whatever is assigned for the committal of this
dreadful act.
The notorious James Moffat, alias fellCoiil,
(the friend and , companion of • the no less mate-
rions Ihiffeji White) died in, the new prison,
Edinburgh, on the. evening of the 20th instant.
Our readers will recollect that he lay .in that
prison
.under sentence of death, having been found
guilty at the jury court in June last of robbing
the Paisley Bank.
Yesterday a poor labourer, who had just ••ar-
rived in town from Ireland, was at work attend-
ing bricklayers, repairing the roof of a houSe
in SidmOuth-street, Spafields, and had ascended
by the ladder in safety to the top of the build-
ing but never being e high before from the
ground, on looking round he was seized with a
swimming, in his head, so that he • could not
standond he lay -down in the gutter, 'from
which place no persuasion could prevail on him
to move ; he lay in that situation several hours,
until he was nearly frozen to death from the cold.
As there was no entrance from the outside. of the
roof into the house,' and it• getting late, • the
men were under the necessity of procuring 'a
puny and a long rope, by which means he was
lowered to the ground,.more dead than a live from
the fright. This novel scene attracted a Twine•
rous crowd of persons.

By the packet from Jamaica advices have been received to
the 14th ult. The most important part of the intelligence
from this-qoarter is contained in the private letters; and n is
a singtttar coincidence that, as we yestetdayfunder the head
of infortnat ion derived through Buenos Ayres, noticed the
sailing from Valparaiso'ol-th'e expedition tinder the Command
Of General St. ,Martin, we have this day to mention, as our
intelligence by way of Jamaica, the landing 14 that expedition
at Pisco, a port to the southwat dof Lima. 'This tact is stated
on the authoilty of letters front Lima, dated Sept. 10, and
received at Jamaica. The event appears to have taken place
only three days before, and to have been communicated by an
express from Ptsco to the Viceroy of Lima, where the news of
tit. ,Martin"s 'disembarkation produced a very powerful im-
pression, and nothing le'ss was apprehended by the citizens
than Another attack on the' harooor of Callao—an attempt
which we know from other sowers not t olive been in, laded

Sedition ensnares the poor, and betrays. them in a thou-

The friends of the King and the Constitution
are accused, by their eneniies., of endeavouring to make a di.
eision in the country, between the aids and the poor; we
deny
,the charge,. and retoti it upon oar adversaries. They
excite disunion and dissension ; they create diOsions between
the 'different classes of society; they instigate the poor
man .to rebel against the hand that erriplo}s him; and they
encourage the labourer and the mechanic to set up their
judgment against that of the Nobility, Gentry, Cleigy, and
Magistracy of the land ; thus attempting to subvert the very
foundation of our Constitution, by opposing numbers to pro-
perty; and pub:at-Oaring, to prevent the latter from baring
that weight and influence in public affairs, which the laws of
our ancestors, end thoSe by:which we are governed, intend-
ed it should possess.
Dr. Walker, at the Huddersfield meeting, called the atten-
tion of his auditory to the strong points of. resemlabiner be-
tween the proceedings of the Jacobins of France, anti the Psa-
dicats of England. In nu one point is that resent dance more
striiting, that in the base and wicked endeavours to set the
poor against the rich; thelatiouret against his master; the
peasant against the land proprietor; and, in fact, all the lower,
and labouring classes, against the privileged orders ; against
the Nobility, the Clergy, and the Magi;traey.—Erery man,
no matter what his rank, who does nut fall down and worship
the *Juggernaut of tire molt, is assailed with the most gross in-
vective, the most teurrileus abuse.. His motires'are misrepre-
sented ; and he is held op by the liberal faction, as a supporter
of abuses, by which.lre benefits; assn oppressor ofiunueence,
the Itioniph.of which be dreads; and as a tyrant 'over the
people, on ultose sehjection his own importance depends.
In such a strain are the characters of the most eminent
amongst the nobility,' the clergy, and gentry of the country,
assailed by a set of dastardly malignant libellers, who merit
the scorn and iiiilignatiou of every hottest inan. The effect
'of this conduct is too plainly perceptible' in the altered man-
ners•of out,population ; intbat spirit of disloyalty, insuboi-
aillaiinn, and infidelity, which now characterises so large a
portion of the English peoPle; that people, who, hut slew

LAW APPOINTMENTS BY THE QUEEN.
(Pron. the Dublin Correspondent.)
•It is stated in a Morning Paper, that-her Majesty the Queen
has been pleased to appdint an Attorney-General, and also a
Solicitor-General for Ireland.. We have no right to queition
what is stated as a tact, however odd or singular, unneerS-
sary Or illegal it may appear—hut we have a right, certainly,
to doubt her-Majesty's authority tit bestow, in Ireland, either
rank or power noon any mendier of the profession of the
Law. Her Majesty's rights in this -way, are undisputed ill
England ; heciaus.e, as Blackstone says, rind speaks always
upon ant horit v-44 The Queen of England hat h separate
Courts and Officers distinct from the King's, not only in mat-
ters of ceremony, but even of laW ; her Attorney and Sobel-
tor-Peneral are entitled to a place within the Bar of his Ma-
jesty's (*inlets, together with the King's Counsel.che rea-
so9 given for this is not founded Nom any prerogative inhering
in the dignity of a Qateen,- but upon grounds of public nee,es-
'snty: " The reason," says Black-tone, 4. given by Sir Edward
Chaise is this llecause the se;saloat of the tutu troll Law
would not have she King, whose continnttl rare and study is
for the public, et circa ardllo regni, to be troubled and dis-
quieted nts'accontet of his-wife's. domestic affairs, and there-
faire it vests in the Queen a power of transacting her own
concerns, without the intervention of the King, as if she was
an unmarried
• For about
.eight hundred years, no consort of any Lord
of Ireland, reigning in England, or of any King upon the
throne of England, had any dornestic affairs tai he transacted.
in Ireland—or supposing. for a Moment, that she had, the
King's deputy in this kingdom would final, in the ordinary
aids which the law officers of his Majesty have time and
liower afforded hint, sufficient means to vindicate her Ma-
jesty's rights, without trouhlrng or...disquieting the King on
account of them. But, in this matter, the Common Law, in
order to prevent the King front being-disquieted or ItOubled
about the (anirea's" domestic affairs, allows his Consort her
Courts of Law, and her law office's in England-'—but the rea-
son for this permission never existed in Ireland,, where the
Queen of; England never had a court of Law, or any officer
of law down to the present day. There is the reason of the
Common Law .against the pretension claimed by her Majesty,
there is the silence of all preceding time, to strew that the
Queen of England never.had a court of law in Ireland,
nor a law officer—how then, .can any Judge of this* land
recognise the Law appointments,. said to be made by her
Majesty in Ireland.? If it were a matter not obligatory upon
the Loud High Chancellor of Ireland and the other Judges,
to.disalinw.--and if it. were only a /natter of mere discretion
whether or not they should recognise the appointments which
we are to-suppose the Queen has made—would they riot feel
themselves hound to be satisfied, that the very 1:1111e reasons,
and dto other, required and justified thessanctioningof the
Queen's Law Officers for the first time to Ireland, which ac-
Cording to Sir Edward Coke, constitutes the only ground up-
, on, which the Queen was empowered .to have CoArt s' of her
own, arid Law Officers in England ? Would they not -be bound
in -conscience., aS wise.and grave men, to examine, suspici-
ously and jealously, the causes Which -may have induced the
Queen, for the first time sinCa the creation, to set up a right
to appoint Law„Officers in I.reland--not deferring tn-.hypotbe-
tical inventions,' bust exarnaiing solely public,groUnds of ne-
cel4ity and polity?' 'We tippet:bend that if her late Majesty
had advanced such a claim, great as her virtues were—nohle
as her example was—enthusiastic as were heraffections for her
linsban&—and sedulous as tier tenderness uniformly,was, to
preserve him froM troubled and disquieted by her
, domestic affairs'—yrt the Judges conid nut eoneur in it ;-. fair
there was no precedent for-it,- no law, nut• no politic neees-
site—though the latter wutild be matter for the Legislature,
and nut fur them to interfere, in, if it were to assume a press-
ure; shape.
And does the present pretension advanced by her Majesty,
affect to found itself upon the reason of the Common Law
right. to Practice•the sane in Etneland.? Is it for the Ring's
peace,t hat the Queen has taken such an unprecedented sten ?
Is to present our SOVeleigo Lord King George IV. from being
troubled and distmehed by her domestic affairs, that her Ma-
jesty has appointed an Al; ot oil and Solleitiff:Geneeal in Ire-

cerise of tile Country. -At present, we only propose to our-
selves to make alimited.and. Impartial suggestion tision this
head. We respect the
.protesslori intent' which tier Majesty
has 'Selected bel Ministers in Ireland, and we seminal not un-
provuleedly transgress against that 'respect—hot we cannot
conceive the possibility of that selection, or any other to the
purpose, receiving the ancient essential to the giving of it

The famous American Recipe for the Rheu
nuttism.—Take of garlic two cloves, of gum am
maniac one drachm, blend them by bruising
them together ; make them into two dr three
bolusses, with fair water, and swallow them, one
at nights and one in the morning;
.drink, while
taking this receipt, sassafras tea, made very
strong, so as to have the tea-pot tilled with chips.
—This is generally :found to banish the rheuma-
tism, and even-contractions in the joints; in a few
thbes using. It is very famous in America, and

Fatal Consequences of Noctambulation.-7-Early
on Friday morning the Ist eurr ent,
.a young man,
the only son of a respectable family in Airdrie,
arose froth his bed:while asleep, and is supposed
to have fallen when coming out, • and, struck the
corner of a chair With his head ;. he died in a few
hours after. The head was inspected by the
medical gentlemen of the place, when a small
fraeture was found on the' right temple bone, and
a great quantity extravasated blond between
the skull and dung mater, by the rupture of a
'blood' essel, which occasioned his
,death. • From
his infancy he had been in the habit of rising in
his sleep.---L-(Edin6urgh Coarant, Dec. '25.)

letter he received by post, stating that the writer had been
attempted to be- robbed by Charles Taylor anti another, in
Flom on, on last Friday night, when he shot
Taylor jn seitdefenee, and the other wan then escaped. He
remained consultation with Mr. Benoett, the Magistrates
till three o'clock, the !tont• appointed to take the inquest,
and then met Mr. Unbein, the other Corone, for the county
of Middlesex, at the Horns Tavern, opposite Shoreditch
church, where a respectable Jury Was empuonelted to itivesti-s
gate all matters and things relating to the death of the de-
ceased. An'immense crowd was collected about the house
during the proceeding. The jury being sworn, they went
to view the body, whichlay in a vault in the church, and on
their remit Mr. Unwin read the following letter, received by
Mr. Stirling in the morming as above stated
" Sir—Having seen in the Newspapers various accounts re-
specting; the unfortunate man Who was killed iu Hoxton-fields,

tain facts respecting

hint who holds the inquest
" Passit,p, through the fields on Friday night about eight
o'clock, I wet the deceased and another man, who ordered me
to stop and deliver toy money, which I refused ; the deceased
replied, if you make the least noise I will hlutv your brains

shoot you. Whilst spelking, he made a kind of thrust, et'

found, unless it passed quite tough the ndy.
" The very peculiar cunt-haling feeling at the moment,
gratitude fur my • providential escape, and sorrow for the
vunhappily attempted crime of, the deceased, operated so
forcibly upon my mind, together with the natm e my bu-
siness,
.deterinitted me to leave the discovery to ehatr,:e.
did not Conceal it froth any idea of Ganger fur toynelf: the
arm of justice, sellpreservation (the first law oi".rtatuie,,
the duty of my conseience,lhe happiness of my wife and
family, partly are the motives by which I am induced to give
this statement without my nanie; but this relation of the
truth may be relied on as well as if it was attestedliy the
most unquestionable names in London, and I solemnly swear
to the truth of it. My object in writing to you, is to prevent
suspicion of his being killed by robbers. Front his deter-
pitted manner of attack, I believe. hint to have keen a prac-
tised footpad. To account for my having pistols, it may be
proper to state, that this is the third assault I have met v.-10
in four months. in the first of which I was robbed of consi-
derable property, and hare since carried pistols in my own

defence." '
Mr. G.-T. Heath, surgeon, at tioxton, examined the body
at the Whitmore's Head, and found a wound to the bream!,
which he tilt!' thought was inflicted by some sharp instru-
ment. 'He now further examined the wound at the rely'4t
of the Coroner and Jury. traced it through the heart, and
found a pistol ball between the fourth and fifth till, left side
of the spine.
Joseph Richardson and two others, the men in the employ
of Mr. Kutt, the Kines rioter, at Shak!eworth, deposed to
the finding of the body of the deceased .about- twenty-fivie
yard 3 front the bridge-way in • Rhodes' fields, htv.t they at first
thought he was drunk,' and carried, him to the Wtiltroore's

Head.
A person who' met the deceased in the fields in thee Arly
part of the evening, described his dress, out he had nt,

ledge of hint.

deceased cohabited at the Rose and .Crown, cow, and
who sinee- his death deo rnyed herself, told bins the deceased

years of age.
