(FRONI A CORRESPONDENT.)

The news which has been received in Dublin this
day, respecting the likelihood of Sir Williani Alex-
ander refusing the Irish Chancellorship, has excited
more than an ordinary degree of attention. In fact,
not only all the well-wishers of Government, but
-men of every sect and party, have long been taught
to consider the office of Chancellor as destined for
Baron Plunkett. His legal knowledgei his elo-
quence, but above all, his perfect acquaintance with
the state of parties in this country, point him out as
the man most qualified to discharge the duties of
that important office. There is no part of these du-
ies which will require so accurate a knowledge of
the country, for the purpose of applying an effectual
remedy to the evil, as the state of the magistracy.
Almost without exception, they areas ignorant, as they
are bigotted. I could give you many instances,
but shall content myself with mentioning two facts
that came within my own knowledge; both hap-
pened in the same county, and within a few months
of each other. On suspicion of having stolen a few
twigs, a father, mother, and three children were
confined in gaol for four months, and all discharged
a few weeks before the assizes, without ever being
brought to trial. The committing Magistrate, in
the second instance, was a clergyman, and be had
three men confined for, I believe, five months, on a
charge of robbery, which the sitting Judge at the
assizes (Baron Pennefather) declared was no more
than a case of common assault! Such are the men,
which Baron Plunkett would be required to super-
sede, and appoint in their places, active, and impar-
tial magistrates. His knowledge of the country
would enable him to do this effectually. The reason
of the outcry which has been raised by the Irish
press, and particularly the Dublin Freeman's
Journal, against Sir William Alexander, is, that
they consider his age., and his want of know.ledge
of the country, must incapacitate him from perfor-
ruing this most necessary duty. But if Lord Plun-
kett be not appointed, I can insure you, the country
mill he content with Sir William Alexander, parti-
cularly, because be is not considered a bigoted poli-
tician.

A very extraordinary transaction has taken place
this day. Informations granted by a Dublin Cor-.
poration, against the High Constable of Dublin, for
illegally billeting soldiers on a private house. Really,
it would seem as if the change, (late as it•is) in the
Ministry, were introducing, even into Dublin, a
show of impartiality.

A RULE FOR COURTSHIP.

Let man, although in love, be wise;
And let his tongue explain his eyes.
Let him not ogle all day long,
Nor lose his time in empty song :
Let him, to make his seat secure,
Talk of his house and furniture, ,

And of his acres down in I<ent ;
The " Cruel Fair" will soon relent ;
In tenderest sympathy will soon,
Without a tear, a frown, or swoon,
Answer the question with " 0 ah !
" Pray be so good as ask Papa."

The depot of the 16th Foot, about two hundred
in number, marched into this town on Wednesday, on its
route from Halifax to Chatham, under embarkation orders
to join the regiment in the East Indies.—Cambridge
Chronicle.

The 53d Regiment, now at Kilkenny, will
proceed to Dublin, and be replaced by the 64th or 69th.—
Leinster Journal.

On Friday, last the 24th Regiment, under
Lieutenant Colonel Fleming, underwent their half-yearly
inspection in the Barrack-square of Athlone, before Major-
General Taylor. At eleven o'clock the regiment formed
in open column, in heavy marching order, and went
through a variety of evolutions with the greatest precision.
At half-past one o'clock they performed the sword exercise
in a masterly style. At a quarter before two the whole of
the troops in the garrison of Athlone, consisting of two
squadrons of the Royal Horse Artillery, one troop of the
14th Light Dragoons, and the 24th Foot, paraded in re-
view order, in the course of which the 24th made a gallant
charge, and then retired by threes from the right of com-
panies, when the cavalry made a most furious charge in
front of the infantry line, intended to cut off the retreating
enemy ; after re-forming line, the ranks in open order, the
line advanced, halted, and gave a general salute, when the
General expressed his entire approbation of the good state
of discipline, and also of the excellent interior regulations
of the regiment. The Serjeants of the Royal Horse Ar-
tillery and 14th Light Dragoons dined in the evening at the
Serjeants' Mess of the 24th, which was visited by General
Taylor and upwards of fifty Officers.—Dublin Patriot.

Henry Brougham, Esq., accompanied by his
daughter, passed through Wakefield, on their way from
Harrogate to Wentworth-House, last Friday.—Leeds In-
telligenccr.

A German lady spits upon the floor of her
apartment, even when it is covered by an expensive carpet,
and many attempt to justify such a breach of good manners,
by arguing that it is a practice tolerated even at Court.

On Tuesday, Richard Hartnett, Esq., while
shooting a partridge, shot a hare with jet black fore lege.
He has, after exhibiting this whim of nature, sent it to Lord
Brandon.= Cork Mercantile Chronicle.

The Covent Garden Manager has wisely
abandoned the intention of producing a version of the
French piece now acting at several of our theatres. The
novelty in immediate preparation there is Mozart's beau-
tiful opera Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail.
Mademoiselle Mars, the incomparable French
aefress, was very kind to Miss Foote during her profes-
sional tour to the great city, and was on every night one
of the most enthusiastic of her admirers. She gave a
‘‘ Petit Souper" on the last evening of Miss Foote's acting,
to enable her to enjoy her society in private life, to which
were invited all the leading talent of the Great Theatres in
Paris. —Paris Paper.

Cumberland used to boast in private society,
that lie had lived to see three of the greatest actors England
ever produced, perform three of their most prominent
characters. Garrick in Leon ; Henderson in Falstaff ;
and Cooke in lago. Cumberland gave Cooke the prefer-
ence—and to the end of his life said he was the hest actor.

SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTs.—The first of
these musical entertainments for the present season, which
took place on Monday evening, attracted all the fashion of
Leeds and the neighbourhood. Among the company was
noticed Lady Pollington and family, Lady Ibbetson and
Miss Heron, Mr. and Mrs. Dennison, of Elvington ; Mr.
Bothell,oafn dvcr Mrs.ino:
of
N osßarnes.t;il ; Alsowal dif-
ferent;Walker,
of ofof Rithseefamilies ;
of Killingbeck ; Cathcart, of Kippax ; Milnes, of Fry-
stone; Lees, of Grove, &e. &c. The Music-hall was
crowded at an early hour, and remained so till the On--
elusion of thC performance. The Cynosure of the occasion
was Madame Pasta, whose magnetic celebrity necessarily
converged universal attention towards her presence.—
Leeds Intelligencer.

A worthy burgher of Kirkaidy, with the inhe-
rent-passion for wandering characteristic of his country-
men, went, not long-ago to see the modern Babylon. On
his return to the Lang town o' Kirkaldy, he was speedily
surrounded by his inquisitive townsmen, anxious to learn
what the adventurous traveller had to report of London
and its lions. One, more eager than the rest, and whose
mind was wholly absorbed in the one idea of the great me-
tropolis itself, interrupted the traveller's account of his
peregrinations by land and water, with this interrogatory :
John, I say, John, man, tell us at ance what ye
think o' Lundun itsel' ;31 which elicited the following ora-
cular response :—" Deed, Tam, it's juist a kintra side o'
houses ; a' the folk there can swear as well, if no better,
than our Fife gentry, and a' the bairns can speak English
like pen guns."

UNWHOLESOME SALMON.—Several letters
have been received by Mr. Goldhani, the inspector of the
Billingsgate-market, froth persons connected with the salmon
trade in the West of England, complaining of the injury
done to the Severn Salmon Fishery, in consequence of
fishermen, in defiance of the Act of Parliament, taking tin
salmon at this time of the year, when they are in spawn
and unfit for use. The writers say, that the salmon is
sold in the markets of Bristol and Gloucester,• and that
unusual quantities are hawked about the country and dis-
posed of both to rich and poor persons, at an extreme low
rate, and several families after eating Them in that unwhole-
some state, have been suddenly attacked by the most clan -
gerous disorders, and yet the magistrates, whose duty it is
to put a stop to the practice, do not interfere.
