LIMERiCks, MAY 3O.—Yestetday a ntitict riot
issued from the-House of George E Bruce and
Co. intimating, that in constmence (it the slid.
den and unexpected suspension of three Provincial
Banks, the if:oly_ pay:tient of their noes should
be discontinued ; but, at the same time, 1")
the pub!ic, tha the real unsettled estate and assets
exceeded by five-told the debts of the Utilise.
This notice, however unpleasant the CatiS,
produced it, is nevertheless e,cry way calculated
to satisfy those concerned, and ensure perfect
safety.

'file following is so extract of a letter from
Limerick, dated the 27th tilt, :
" 'this morning, at the opening Of the two Banks, the Con-
fusion was so great that many persons fainted ftom the ex.
cessive pressure. Au opinion prevails here pretty generally,
that the landed surd mercantil?. interests of the City and
County will, in consequence of the heavy lodEruent,; they hard
made, collie forward and support the Bank. A military guard
was placed at the entrance of the Bank, notwithstanding
which numhers of the country people forced an entrance, who
tociferate that the doors shall not he closed. From this you
nosy easily judge our prenpects here."

We stop the Press to state;th,ti the Dep,itatiou
which waited on the Lord Licnienanr from the
City of Conk, to request aid of the Government
at the present exigent crisis in the South of this
Kingdom, have received warm assurances, that
the object of that application should be strongly
recommended to the regard of the Financial De-
partment of the United Kingdom. The EXCen.,
tive Government, now that Parliament is sitting,
at►d in the absence of the-Chief Secittary, did nut
feel justified in.taking any other course, than to
recommend the case of the applicants in the
warmest wanner.—When assistance had been
issued before, on a similar occasion of general
distress, the Parliament was,not sitting.

ROYAL. TrisTrTerriorz.•,,--We resume our atten-
tion to the interesting Lectures on Architecture
at this place. Mr, SOANE gave his secondLec.
cure on Saturday, before a more numerous au-
dience th4n on the former occasion. lie re.timed
the subjects of the preceding Discourse, and after
commenting on some ornamental Edifices la Kew
Gardena, proceeded to exemplify the principles of
Egyptian Architecture, describing the nature and
design of its several productions. The Professor
then naturally directed his attention to Greece
and Rome, bestowing bigh praise on the Archi-
tecture of those cottutries.—He observed, that as
the remains of their buildings excited so much
wonder and delight, how great would the advan•
rage have been, if the Arts of Printing and En-
graving had existed in those times, that tht whole
of. those beautiful and stupendous Structures could
have been presented to the eve, in defiance of Ihe
ravages of Time upon the Originals, and it the
great Masters who raised those Originals could
have transmitted their principles and rules to pos.
terity. The Professor examined the Fiva Oataerts,
which he reduced to three, according to the strict
views of Grecian Architects, vie. the Douro,
lotatc, and CORINTHIAN, defining the distinct
character of etit:ll. His account of the removal of
a stupendous Obelisk front Egypt to it,me, and
the difficulty of raising it in that City was highly
interesting. A variety of other subjects were na
troduced, and illustrated as before with valuable
Drawings. In the course of his Lecture, the
Professor spoke with reverence and gratitude of
our late excellent Monarch, panieuktly on the
advantages which the Country has derived from
the sanction which he gave to the Instittittoo of
the Royal Academy, as well as to hill general 1)4.
crone ;e of the Fine Arts, and whatever could
tend to adorn as well as to secure the Empire.

SADLER% WELLS..—We have too long neglected
to notice this old and established source of public
amusement. On Thursday evening, a new Mel
Drama, entitled The - Rival Heroes, Charles the
Twelfth and Peter the Great, was, prninced with,
every possible degree of eclat. It was perhaps
principally indebted tor its brilliant soccesa to the
exertions of a young female, who appeared for
the. first time. To personal attta,:tions, well cal-
culated to sofien the severity of criticism, she
unites a degree of talent which clamps its unqtra.
'died applause. A voice of sufficient power, with
a most pleasing modulation, a degree of feeling.
seldom surpassed, and a solid judgment, combined
in this deserving performer, give promise of a
rapid advance to the highest rank of professional
eminence. The audience on this occasion wet*
not only numerous but fashionable.
Tide ROYAL YACHT.—From the general atten-
tion excited to view his MAJESTY'S yacht the Prince
Regent, it Was expected that her launch on Tues-
day, at Portsmouth, %snubd attract a great body of
spectators, and certainly there were never so many
parsons assembled in the Dock-yard and parts of
the harbour adjacent, to witness a similar
pleasing and imposing spectacle. The vessel
being ornamented with the National, Admi-
ralty, and Navy Board colours, and every thing
prepared to give due effect to the sight, at a
quarter before one Lady Campbell christened
this fine and beautifully-ornamented vesssel, with.
—" May success :and prosperity crown the
Prince Regent !" and sire glided into her native
element, amidst reiterated, loud, and hearty
huzzas. Sir George Campbell afterwards enter-
tained a large party of distinction at an ele-

of San Carlos, and Prince Charles, Abbe
the Broglie ; General Sir George Conk,
were of the party. Upon the health of the King
of Spain being drank, the Spanish Ambassador
returned thanks, and proposed the health of
his Majesty George IV. His Excellency remark.
