Saiurday se'nnight the Derry Militia marched into
Cork from Midleton, to embark on board the trans-
ports destined to take them to Bristol ; but in conse-
quence of their destination being -altered, they had
to return the same day to the above place.
The transports that have arrived at Cork are now
ordered to take the Derry and West York tO Ports-
mouth, and have to lay in provisions accordingly.
which will delay their sailing. They are take provi-

The West York are to be replaced at Cork by the
Oxford Militia.
The Kildare Militia, about 250 strong, arrived is

that place to perform the duty until their returo, when
they will resume their march for Canterbury.

On the night' of Sunday last, as ritANCIS SMYTH,
Esq. of Carrick-on-Suir, was sitting in his parlour at
Ballynaclashy, in the county of Waterford, and within
about two miles of .Bonmahon, three men entered.
and instantly shot him dead. After perpetrating this
criminal deed, they departed, Ve itlIQUt robbing the
house, or using any other violence. This disgiaeeful
outrage is supposed to be the result of in4ieidual

Friday se'nnight the London mail-coach was over-
turned between Duilbar and Haddington, near Beall-
ston, in consequence of one of the horses Awing at
some straw lying on the road-side. 'Pe carriage
was thrown into the appos,k ditch, where it stuck
fast. The mail was forwarded iika post-chaise. We
have not heard of any injury having arisen horn the
accident.

.

A few nights ago, as a poor industrious man, a
cooper by trade, was returning home from his work,
he was waylaid by some savage ruffians, in Nelson-
street, Belfast, and most inhtunanlyi beaten with
bludgeons, tic. to the imminent hazard of his life
which, it is probable, the villains intended to take
away, but were providentially prevented from killing
him on the spot by the interference of some neigh-
bours, He now lies dangerously ill, with his skull
fractured. Ths only* cause assigned for this barbaroni
outrage, is the refusal of the sufferer to join- jo a come
bination of the journeymen coopers to abstain from
working, for the purpose of raising their wages. Two
of the offenders are in custody, and we trust they will
' not escape the punishment their conduct so Asdf de-
mands from the insulted laws of the country„..‘ . •._
The following is an extract of a priyate letter from
Bremen, dated October 20:--,4 Already, on Thus-
day, the 12th instant, rumours reached our town that
the Russians were at Verden; bat no person would
attach any credit to it, as we had so often been dice
appointed. It wasp however, fully confirmed the
following morning, as a number of Cossacks were
seen swarming round the town. At nine o'clock,
a. r 4. a heavy cannonade began before the Eastem
Gate, which Listed the whole day ; but our Thursday
it slackened, and little firing was heard. Most hap'
pily for our town, a capitulation was concludedt sa
the night from Thursday to Friday, as the French •
garrison was in want of powder. The brave fciail
cans and Prussians entered our town on the hStb, to
the universal joy of the inhabitants, who reeeiye4
them as liberators from an odious and most tyrannil
cal yoke. Many inhabitants embraced the brave.
Cossacks on their horses, as well as the brave Mr.
Backhouse, who is a Colonel in the Russian ser-
vice, and who commanded a part of the Cossacks.
--During the bombardment, two large wind-mills
on the eastern gates, and old. and new ramparts, woe
struck by howitzers, and burnt down to the ground.
One bomb fell in the New Towns on the house of a
Physician, who was very much attacbedto the fre9o.
and whose daughter was wounded by the explotionit
which took place in the sitting-room. Another bomb
fell on the house of Mt*. Moysa, at the Cathedral
square, went through a cradle in the childrense room,
exploded in the saloon, and broke the furnitore, with-
out hurting any person. One fell on Mr. Boring's
house, in the Schussel-korb, another in Wilken-strassc,
and a fourth in the Little Weser, without doing any
material damage, None of the inhabitants have been
killed, but the houses on the ramparts of the eastern
gate have been much damaged. The Cossacks, and
all the troops, behaved uncommonly well. The for-
mer are dressed partly in sheep and bec--slsins, and
look very formidable, but their features announce)
the goodness of their character. Many of them are
between 70 and 80 years old, but are as hearty AS
other people of 50. 1 hey almost all sleep in the
streets near their horses, upon straw, aact but few are
in the houses, where they refuse beds, and lie upon
straw, as well as the greatest part of their Officers.--
The Mayor and Municipality continue the recta.
ment of the town, provisionally ; but tile t rctect,
Count d'Arberg, and all the French who wire etn•
ployed here, as well as the garrison, lett us early ,11,
the morning of Saturday lasts they talc. with them
the curses of the inhabitants. An immense quantity
of tobacco has been sold here very cheap—it lklonged
to Bonaparte's famous tobacco monopoly. As swill as
the french batteries at Blixen and Bremerihe shal
be taken, I hope we shall have a free communicaiiiin
, with England. All is joy and mirth here,
Old and New. Towns have been most brilliaia)
minated.'' • •

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was I

ter past four. After which two Messengers were or-
dered to be in readiness for foreign service. One of
them was expected to leave town last night for the
North, and the other this morning.
Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and. Viscount
CASTLEREAGH had audiences of, the PRINCE REGENT.
Yesterday morning MONSIEUR called at Carlton
House, and made his respectful inquiries after the
PRINCE REGENT.
'1 he Russian Minister has been some time indis-
posed, at his house, at Richmond, in consequence of
which his house in Harley-street was not illuminated
last night. On Thursday night it was' brilliantly
lighted.
Mr WiIITDREAD has presented the Proprietors of
Drury-Erne Theatre with a bust of GARRICK.
We have the pleasure to announce, that a new and
complete edition of the Armoire: Himviyurs, Line-
retires, et Anecdotiques du Jittii6n de Grim*, in four vo•
lames, may- now be had at CoLautts's, in Conduit-
street : those tberrfore, aho have nut yet seen this
interesting work, may now be gratified with a perusal
of the roost amusing though masterly sketch of the
society, the
-manners, and literature of the French
watior, ever exhibited.
Messrs ES-Arsasarnoz• and WOOD caution the Pub-
lic agaiost spurious imitations of their Patent single
and' double Flageolets : Messrs. B. and W. the Pa-
tentees, are aware that a quantity of Flageolets of
this description are sent into the country made by on-
principled tradesmen, *who are always on the look-
out to reap-an advantage from the labour of others,
but on a candid inspection by any professional man,
they will be found so much out of tune, that it is im-
Asible for any person who should purchase such an
•strument, to play in tune or to produce those tones
Patent Flageolet is capable off. They are in-
iced to give the public this caution, as there is
arce a dity passes, that some one (who has been
sposed on, thinking they have purchased a Patent
lageolet) call at our Manufactory to have it tuned,
bleb 'cannot be done*: they also request the public
be particular in poking for the Patentees' names,
-ome makers have gone so far as to imitate,
are genuine that are not marked with
ttunoz and WOOD 35, Holborn-Hill, London.
further inform their friends and the public in
they have obtained a New Patent for a Fla-
ith the fingering precisely the same as the
Flute, villa has all the compass of that
)t, made with or without- additional keys,
. sizes, from an Octave to a full sized Con-
German ADM

Notices, in a printed‘fcirtnt ha ty;nk been posted ia
various parts of tb i e town, of the ntention on tbe pact
of Government to illuminate the public offices, in
testimony of their sense of the late unexampled and
brilliant successes of the Allied Powers engaged in
the contest with the Ruler of France, the most exten-
sive preparations were yesterday made in all parts of
the metropolis, to second the views of his Majesty's
Ministers, and to prove with what sincerity the public
at large coincided with them in an enthusiastic feel-
ing of joy and admiration, at the prospect which was
now afforded of once more establishing the various
States of Europe upon such a basis of independence
as was likely to secure to this country, and to the
world, the blessing of a tatting and firmly secured
peace. Scarce had the glooms of night lowered up-
on us ere a-new day, as it were, burst upon our view,
and exhibited an effulgence of the most dazzling de-
scription ; but not more dazzling than the lustre
which shone from the deeds of those, whose achieve-
ments were meant to be thus proudly and honoura-
bly acknowledged. Every square, every street, every
lane, nay, every alley, contributed its meed of light
towards the general Mate, and long before the hour
of nine, a scene was exhibited, calculated to excite
the most heartfelt feelings of delight and satisfaction.
Never was national joy more signally pourtrayed—
never did the heart of John Bull seem to be more fer-
vently alive to the blessings with which the coming
hour seemed pregnant. Thousands and tens of thou-
sands of all ranks of his Majesty's subjects poured
into the chief avenues of the town—not alone to gra-
tify their curiosity, but to evie.ce how cordially they
participated in every feeling of admiration and re-
spect for those brave and gallant people who, at
length awakened to their own interests, had boldly
asserted, bravely fought for, and gloriously attained
their national independence. Never did we witness
a collection of more happy countenances, nor ever
did we see -a mass of population so immense more
cordially disposed to be in good humour with them-
selves and all about them. The weather was parti-
cularlr favourable, and we are hippy to state that
nothing occurred to mar the general harmony of the
evening, save the occasional inconveniencies of dirty
streets and impetucus jostling. We were happy to
observe also, that from the precautions adopted by
the police, the mischievous practice of throwing
squibs and discharging other fire-corks, to the alarm
and imminent danger of passengers, was, in a great
measure, suppressed.
Among those illuminations which were conspicu-
ous for splendour at the West end of the town, were
the following ;
Carlton HousP.—'flie whole of the facade, cowered
with lamps. The pillars wreathed in a very beau-
tiful style. In the centre, a most elegant star.—
The effect of the whole grand and brilliant in a
very high degree.
Apsley House, the town residence of the Marquis
Wellesley, was tastefully illuminated, exhibiting stars,
festoons, intertwined with laurels, &c.
_ _

Mr. Long Wellesley's house, which on other occa-
sions went so far beyond its peers, on this day of
.proud celebration was uncommonly cold in its ap-
pearance. At the Park front there was only one
, ample row of lamps, and the same in Norfolk-street
—but this was accounted for by the absence of Mr.
'W. from town.
At Mr. Cooke's, Mr. Wellesley's neighbour, there
was a tasteful exhibition, a splendid crown, stars, &c.
in Park-lane, many of the Noblemen's residences
in particular evinced much taste and liberality in
their illuminations, especially Lord Dudley and
Ward, Lord Middleton, &c.
The Duke of Montrose's residence, in Grosvenor-
square, was splendidly illumined, and displayed a
large brilliant crown, most tastefully supported.
Mr. Jennings's, in the same square, presented an
agreeable appearance, two beautiful stars being
conspicuous ; and Lord Sydney's also was agree-
able to the sight, by means of numerous large
flambeaus.

In Portman-square there were many pleasing illu-
minations, at Earl Grey's, Mr. Cochrane's, Mr. Ha-
milton Nesbitt's, &c. Manchester-square, Baker-
street, the the New Road, and all the streets in its neigh-
bourhood, shone also with great lustre.
Cavendish-square, Hanover-squate,Golden-square,
Le.c?q,r-fields, Lincoln's Inn Fields, Bedford and
Russell-squares, Montague-place, &c. &c. were all
very tastefully illuminated.
The Swedish Ambassador's residence, in Ches-
terfield-street, presented an interesting appearance,
there being the words Grossberen, Leipzig,
Denevitz," &c.

In Oxford-street there were many instances of the
joy felt by its inhabitants in extensive illuminations,
emblematic exhibitions, &d.

The Spanish Ambassador's house, Dover-street,
was most brilliantly illuminated, presenting the ,
words—,, The Spanish Nation to the Allies in the ,
North."
Bond-street displayed many very appropriate illu-
minations. such as crowns, stars, •' S. K. L. D."
(Silesia, Kulm, Leipsic, Denevit s) ; and the Royal
Institution did not forget to offer its meed on the oc-
casion of such splendid triumph, as if to shew, what ,
is the truth, that the sciences and literature only flou-
rish where there is something like freedom.
Lord Ashburnham's residence was tastefully
lighted up, with the addition of flambeaus round the
tore-court.
In Piccadilly there were many festoonings and
displays of laurel ; but amongst the most singular
and grotesque, exhibitions, it would be an injustice
not to mention the White Bear Inn. It may have
been observed that at this Inn there is a large white
Bruin placed over the door ;—on the present occa-
sion, this figure was literally covered wits lamps,
having two red ones to denote his eyes, it is to be
presumed.
At Stubbs's, the paper-hanger, there was a large
transparency, displaying the Lion of England and
the Eagles of the North combining to devour and de-
vouring the monster dragon that had ventured to
trespass on their.repose and liberties.
St. James's-street presented a beautiful and varie-
gated appearance ; almost every house had either
lamps in front or many candles in the windows.
The most remarkable objects in St. James's-square,
were the Union Club-house, and that of Lord Cas-
tlereagh, the latter of which displayed a Crown be-

tweets two glitter;ng Stars, and tinderneath the
tiah V. C. A.
At Arthur's elttb-hottse, there Was G, R. In large
characters; and neatly decorated, Star, kc.
At the Guards' Subscription-house, there was
" Lamm," in bold and neat characters, without any
ornament.
Pall Mill made a very gay appearance, generally,
'but there, before the superior and overwhelming lus-i
tre of Carlton House, all the lesser lights, " sxlnt inter
leper Luna minorer," were outshone, and compelled to
bide their diminished heads." There was no parti-
cular device or inscription, but all was dazzling and
insufferable brighmws."
The Opera House was illuniinited by a beautiful
Star, between two flaming Pillars, and underneath,
" G. R. and the Allies."
At the Admiralty was held out a rich Crown over
a blue Anchoraand two brilliant Stars, between which
were the initials G. R. and G. P. R.
At the Treasury, we read, in large and dazzling
characters, 84 Tun ALLIIII-GREAT
SIG."
Fife House too made a conspicuous and beauti-
ful appearance. A radiant Arch, surmounted by the
Crown, and underneath, in a corresponding curve—
" Small., Kuser." In the centre of the base, " DES..
NEYITE," and in large characteri, between two flam-
ing Stars, at the bottom, " LEIPSIC."
At the North side of the entrance to the House of
'Lords, the large window exhibited one blaze of lus-
tre, immediately over which were the letters G.P. R.
the Prince's Plume and the Regal Crown at the top,
and underneath was inscribed, " THE Cat:se or Ey-
ROPE."
The House of Commons was distinguished by a
splendid Crown, the initials G. R. and a beautiful
Star.
In Great George-street, the most conspicuous ob-
jects were the Adjutant-General's Office, which dis-
played the Crown, with this inscription, " To THE
ALLIES I" the Commissary-General's Office,, with the
Crown with G. R.; 'and the Irish Exchequer Office,
which was si lendidly lighted.
From Parliament-street to Charing-cross the bril-
liancy was superb, particularly the Treasury and the
Horse Guards, the centre of which latter edifice
was distinguished by a superb Star, under which
, were written, "
The South wing presented a Regal Crown, with the,,
letters G. R. and the North the Prince's Plume and
G. P. R.
A very appropriate personification of the present
distressed state of Bonaparte, was exhibited in the'
ft-tint of Ackermann's Repository of Arts. The Cor-
sic,tn Pc.tentate was represented sitting on a drum in
the field of battle, his hands under his chin, his el,'
bows resting on his knees. Opposite is seated Death
upon a dismounted cannon, in the same position, his
elbows upon his knees, " staring the humbled Ruler
in the face." His right foot has crushed the insolent
French trophy, the cidevant invincible Eagle, his left
foot on a cannon-ball. These two Sovereigns of ter-
ror look equally ghastly. In the back ground is
seen the legions of the Usurper filled with dismay,
flying before the conquering Germans, Russians,
Prussians, and Swedes, whose proud harmers display
the Northern Eagles, which will drive the French
"Eagles berna the Rhine. The whole was surmoun-
ted by an emblematic Circle, indicative of union and
strength, which was lighted by gas, and df dazzling
brightness.
At Covent Garden Theasre, the word " VICTORY"
was displayed in front, in letters of red and

•

its inhabitants contrived, that in splendour ;t sh6nld
vie with the longest and most elegant in London..
.Mr. Blades, whose loyalty and taste art alike con.
spicuotis, and who has already becetbe proverbial
for theexcellence of his illumination's gratified-all
who had the pleasure of passing along Ludgatehillt
with a triumphal arch, lofty and elegantly propor-
tioned, composed of lamps of every imaginable to.
lour, surmounted with a very brilliant crown. In the
centre appeared written-44 Our brave Allie," formed
of lamps sufficiently luminous to brighten the oppo-
site house tops, and underneath were the initials G.
R. of corresponding resplendance. On the front of
Messrs. Rundell and Bridge's' jewellery shop appear-
ed the word—" Victory" between two bright stars,
the radiance of which was not eclipsed by the neigh•
bourhood of the triumphal arch which we have just
described. Mr. Jackson's shop was illuminated with
a refulgent star; and Webb's Lottery Office pre.
sented a front covered with lamps, tastefully grouped
and clustered. . I
St. Paul's Church-yard was adorned by the ele-
iant taste and loyalty of Menri. Neale and Bailie,
' and Messrs. Pelbttt and Green. The shop of the
former was illuminated with two ample boughs of
laurel, formed of variegated lamps, surmounted with
a splendid crown of the same materials; underneath
appeared " Leipsic," with the initials of the Hero of
the Allies, the Crown Prince of Sweden. The shop
'of the latter was of corresponding elegance--an Im-
perial crown, skirted with boughs of 1 awe), brightened
underneath with two stars of no ordinary splendour,
'had a fine effect, and attracted the passengers in
crowds, who testified their approbation in loud and
continued shows. The pediments, porticoes, and en-
tablatures of St. Paul's School, were hung with very
bright lamps; and several private houses were illu-
minated with stars and crescents.
From the entrance into CheapsiJe and through tl'e
Poultry, till the prosp'ct terminated by the branch-
ing of the street at the front of the Mansion Houella
the view was dazzling and magnificent. The front
of a shop at the commencement of the street presented
tae initials of the names of the mighty Kingdoms at
~resent asseciated to preserve the Freedom of the
World—Eoglaud, Russia, Prussia, Sweden and Aus•
tria. On the tiont of the shop of Mr. Moore and Co.
appeared a very splendid star ; and Mr. Kennet, the
hat-manufacturer, exhibited amidst the splendour of
his windows the busts of those two immortal Minis•
ters whose genius alternately directed the councils and
nerved the arms of the people of Britain. The ape
pearance of the busts of Pitt and For, at the moment
when the. heart is rejoicing in the successes of freemen
against Imp incipled usurpation, brings forth remem•
brances which a British heart delights to recal ; and
for a mometit we associate the Achtevements of the
present day with-those two immortal Ministers. On
the shops of Messrs. Kemp and Rae, and .Hick and
Keats, appeal.ed two radiant stars ; and leftward, as
we passed, we could discern Guildhall. amidst the
gloomy splendour of an imperial crown, composed
of red lamps, the initial letters of our Sovereign's
name, and a star, the light of which served to make
the surrounding darkness more visible. Mr. Rigge,
the perfumer, adorned his shop with a resplendant
star; the shop of Messrs. Birkeu and Wiustanley
presented a star of corresponding effulgence ; se-
veral othei shops were decorated with-lamps, in
groups, rows, and clusters ; and the Atlas Insurance
Office had provided a huge transparency, represent.
ing Atlas himself, supporting the universe on his
shoulders.
