THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM LAMB.

,We were inadvertently drawn info an error,
respecting what we said yesterday about the Free-
dom of the City of Dublin having been presented to
Mr. Lamb. The following extract of a letter from
a correspondent disproves the fact :
" The next motion was to grant the Freedom of
the City to the Right Hon: William Lamb: It has
been the invariable practice of the Corporation of
Dublin to present the freedom of the City to every
Lord Lieutenant, and to every Secretary, upon his
arrival in Ireland, but upon Mr. Lamb's name being
pronounced a significant whistling was heard from
one end of the room to the other, and though Mr.
Morrison raised his voice in favour of the motion, it
was unanimously scouted by all the other members,
after Mr. M'Cleary, a gentleman from the North of
Ireland, with a strong Scotch accent, had in a droll
speech frightened the honotirable members out of
their wits, by describing to them the horrors that
might be expected now that this wolf had come
among the sheep in the disguise of a Lamb.

We have received this forenoon the Allge-

the following. Article, that great exertions are
making in equipping the Russian Fleet in the
Black Sea :

onEssa, JULY 2.
In consequence of orders received froia St. Petershurgh,
the Black Sea fleet is to be immediately got ready to put
to sea. Since the receipt of these orders workmen have
been employed day and night in fitting out three ships of
the line, and sevetal frigates, and it is expected that they
will be quite ready in a few days. These measures have
revived the hopes of the Greeks. According to a notice
from Constantinople of 26th June, the passage of the Dar-
dandles is granted to the Swedish flag. English houses
are laying up large quantities of corn.

counts from Sto2kholm to the 13th inst., which
express some apprehensions for the Russian.
Fleet from Cronstadt, in consequence of a violent
storm which had been experienced for three days
front► the South West. Nothing of political
importance appears in them. We subjoin ex-
tracts :

STOCKHOLM, JULY 13.

The storm which has blown for these three days past
from the south west, excites apprehensions for the .Russian
fleet of Admiral Seniavin, which has sailed from Cronstadt.
For the Russian Ambassador, Count Suchtelin, who is
gone by way of Abo to St. Petersbnrgh, it would be
favourable, if not too violent. The storm has done great
damage in the gardens and fields, and especially about Upsal,
where it was accompanied with hail.
According to accounts from Gothenburg, the crops have
not been so promising for half a century as they now ant.
As by the Royal Proclamation of the 20th ult. the high
import duties on Foreign Corn will be again in force after
the 16th instant, the' Argto calculates that the prices will
be in higa, that this -Ordinance will be equivalent to a
prohibition.
The Gazette announces to-day the appointment of
Count Lowenhjelm, late Mini ter of the Ottoman Porte,
to the post of Ambassador to the Court of Austria.

Seventeen ancient silver coins with Chaldee or Syriac
characters, in excellent preservation, have lately been found
in a peat moor, near Souder Kirkely, in Falater.

On the 25th and 30th ult. the islands of Leland and

tended with violent gusts of wind which did much damage.

By letters received this morning from Lisbon,
by the Mail, it appears that his Majesty's ships
Albion and Genoa of 74 guns, had sailed from
the Tagus. The report that the Spartiate had
also proceeded to the Mediterranean is not cor-
rect, as she and the Pyramus iemained in the
Tagus when the packet sailed.

The Journals at Rome have published the following,

tions, in an alarming way, the failure of a highly reputable

just happened ; it is well known that the unfortunate oc-
currence took place full three weeks ago.

MURDER.—This morning a murder was
committed near Whitechapel Workhouse, on the body of
a watchman, named Dawkins. It appears a young WO-
man, who was being ill-treated by the murderer, placed
herself under the protection of Dawkins, which AO irri-
tated him, that he picked up a large flint stone, and struck
the deceased so violently on the head, as to cause instant
death. The murderer was taken into custody after a
desperate resistance. The body of the deceased was taken
to the London Hospital.

There is said to be one of the largest rubies
ever known in the treasury at Ava ; where its beauty is
increased by placing it in a bowl full of water, and con-
sequently magnifying its lustre. The following story is
related of the manner in which it came into the possession
of the Kings of Ava :-After the sacking of Pegue by
Alompra, the unfortunate degraded old King, Beinga Della,
whose life was spared by the clemency of the conqueror, was
kept in close confinement in Rangoon during the reign
of his son, and old age was fast hastening the period of
his existence. Still he was an object of jealousy and
fear to the Burman kings; and Shembuah, who had
but just suppressed a revolt of the Peguers, was glad of
the opportunity it offered to deprive them of their only head,
vvhona he therefore, though innocent, ordered to be exe-
cuted, in 1769, as a participator in the rebellion. Awa
Bock, or Pagoda Point, was the spot appointed for his exe-
cution, and on his waythither he was observed to be constant-
ly twisting what appeared to be a piece of wax in his hand,
and this his attendants stated he had done during the whole
time be was in prison. After the execution, curiosity in..
duced some of the bystanders to examine the wax, and in
it was discovered this ruby, which was of course itumedi-
ately forwarded to the Court,.. Two Years at Ava.
