cropoed. The Gentlemen who distinguished
themselvel upon the occasion were, Messrs. O'Gou-
mo, SCULLY, nUalti O'CONNELL, and Dr. DRONf-

ment to the Petition being negatived, it was resolved
that it should stand in its present form.

cis'.on, al give their assistance to his Lordship.—

should b presented to the House of Lords by Lord

A Committee 'if eleven were then chosen, on the
potion of Mr. diC.cmstua,, to prepare a digest of the
grievances affecting the Catholic Body ; after which
ie Meeting adjourned.

Shipments of linens, daMask, and large quantities
ti Irish calieoes, have taken place to Rio Janeiro,
aid Demerara, during this month, from Belfast ; and
also of linens and calicoes to New York, but by no
weans in such large quantities as usual, to the latter
pLce.

At the time the last packet left Jamaica, consider-
apprdiensions were entertained for the safety of
t.l.e Little Belt sloop of war, and a transport under
e convoy, as they weie spoken off the east end of
tat island on the 12th of August, by the Garland
fligate, the Liule Belt having General MORRISON on
bard, appointed Lieutenant-Governor and Cornman-
d,r of his Majesty's forces in Jamaica : and as late as
f:e 9th of September, when the Garland returned to
Pm Royal, they had not been heard of. Hence it is
ftred they hate both foundered.
The herting fishery at Yarmouth bas been remark-
:oy productive, a greater q uantity having been caught
Ilan was ever known. The boats have come in re-
ruedly with twenty lasts, and, in some instances, as
may as twenty-three or twenty-four lasts have been
bought in Ott a time.
A letter from Stornoway states, that an enemy's
tiyateer has lately made its appearance on that coaq,
rd greatly excited the alarm of the inhabitants.—
Lus news was communicated by the Captain of a
Lip which has been driven on shore at Lochshiel,
lying closely punued by the privateer, which, he
Lys, captured two vessels on the same day.

In Norway, we understand, there are three parties
rruggling for the ascendancy. Of these, the most
taLcrous and respectable is for independence; the
text for an union with Sweden ; and the third, and
last considerable, is for continuing under the Sove-
fignty of Denmark.

As a hackney-coachman, of the name of Hiveson,
tic had taken up a fare at Covent-garden Theatre,
ssd rho was inebriated, was proceeding along Bel-
ton-street, on Monday night, be fell from his box and
floured his scull in so shocking a manner, that he
tied on being conveyed to the hospital. The horses
T7ceeded on with the coach, without the knowledge
tlle persons within, that the accident had happened,
it WAS turned over in St. Giles% but no person
x'•~lurt.

A few days ago as some labourers Were digging on
'^r premises of CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR, Esq. of Leg-
tl-n Abbey, near Louth, they discovered five human
zrceons. The spot where they were found is sup-
7^ced by some to have been the burial place of the
mnery founded there by ROBERT DE LEKEBURN.
ac J the skeletons rested on its side in an horizon-

• and one in a perpendicular positionkperfectly up-
ri:Lt : the remaining three were somewhat scattered,
c!:ulls being all within the circumference of three
only two feet below the surface of the earth. The
rn, were in a very perfect state, and in one instance
T.i"^ teeth were remarkably sound: they were care-
'El collected, and again interred. It is supposed,
with some degree of probability, that they were
remains of persons whodted of a contagious disease
:1 the yt ar 1631, or of the plague in 1606, at which
Period the mortality was great in Louth and its vici-
l'his opinion is streitigthened by there being no
_..ndearaitce of coffins in which the bbdies might have
interred. . _

cor-tNtointnErtrlißATßE;
The opposition at this Theatre last night was more
languid that at any time since .11:s commencement :
the whole of the play of 7711174;ci0ur Husband, was
ieard with very inconsiderable interruption. Mr.
WEINHOLT and another gentleman, charged as par-
ties in a conspiracy, were served with Copies of the
Rule of Court, moved on Monday against them, as
they went into the Theatre.
The Pit was rather more than half full before half
price, and the boies nearly crowded. Tlle half-price
made little alteration for some time, but towards the
close of the evening, added considerably both to the pit
and boxes. An individual, on entering at half-price,
attempted to commence the row, by raising a horse-
laugh, which was very generally hissed, and the laugher
being marked, though he changed his place in the pit,
was soon after surrounded by five or six of the Police,
and carried off without any symptoms of resistance.
We understand, however, that he had his coat torn
in the scufße, in which state, after being at Bow-street,
he again entered the pit. When the pit became nearly
full, a partial coughing commenced, which was the
signal for the row, and was followed by hisses and
groans, but neither so loud nor general as on most of
the preceding nights. The 0. P. song was several
times attempted, but this new species of music, as
well as the dance of the same designation, was corn-
parativelY feeble and languid till towards the end of
the Entertainment, when 0. P.-ism displayed a more
marked triumph, which enabled its admirers to go
through the usual ceremonies before dispersing.
No 0. P. badges appeared through the evening, nor
were any placar'cls e,hibited, but the pit, during the
performance of the pantomime, Don Juan, was loud
and coarse in their allusions to the private boxes ; as
usual, " Gon save the King," was sung, and shouts
and groans were uttered as heretofore on the depar-
ture of the company, about half-past ten o'clock.—
The disturbance is again evickntly subsiding, by the
proceedings in the Court of King's Bench, which
were made public in the newspapers of yesterday.
GRIM ILDI was admirably grotesque as Scaramouch
in the Afterpiece.
In addition to the usual groans, there were three
devoted to V. G. which, to judge from the enthusiasm
of the moment, must have left some impression on
some of the throats of the difrianti.

One or two contests took place, but they appeare.
to be of little consequence. A set was made at tvi,i
mean looking men in a box on the first tier, one of
whom had a silk handkerchief round his neck, and
several jokes were passed upon them, which excited
considerable laughter. The persons pointed at re-
mained, however, till near the conclusion of the af-
terpiece. •
At the conclusion of the performance, three hisses
were given for excessive bail," and three cheers for
the King, and the audience departed in peace.

Bow- srat tr.—Mr. John Robson, of No. 2. America-square,
ship-owner, was brought to this Office last night, soon after
eight o'clock, by some of the patrole who were in attendance a
Covent Garden Theatre. He exhibited the most tattered ap-
pearance, his coat being torn front the skirts to the collar behind,
and o-i- of the lappets was nearly torn off in front. On his en-
trance, he was placed at the felons' bar, where he remained until
Mr. James Brandon came, who shortly after appeared, and stated,
that the performances of the evening had proceeded in the moat
peaceable and orderly manner till the commencement of half-
price, when discord and confusion were excited by the prisoner.
who, on entering the pit, began a fit of artificial aneczing any
coughing, which, like the application of a lighted match to guns
powder, s productive of an instantaneous and general explo-
sion, avd riot and tumult became universal. Some of his friends
having intimated to him that his conduct was conspicuous, and
drew the attention of some of the peace officers, he moved inn.
the centre of the pit, where he renewed his iniitement to riot.
and annoyed the peaceable pail of the audience by his violent am'
unmannerly behaviour ; and whilst thus exerting himself, the offi-
cers
rualiesl forward and took hint into custody.
This charge was corroborated by Mr. Davis, the Surveyor, of
Bloomsbury-square.
Mr. Robson, in his defence, said, that his coughing and sneez-
were purely natural, and originated in the cloud of dust that
was thrown up by the violent motion of the people in the pit : ht
said, he felt no concern for his situasion, as, however obnoxious
his conduct might have been, it was dictated by a desire to sup-
port a rlo,3us cause.--Ordered to find bail, which he did im-
mediately, and wan discharged.
He then said, he wished to make a charge of assault against
Lyons, on., of the ol.icers who took him into custody, for poking
his stick in the face of his brother, without any just or reasonable
Cause.
On Lyons being called on for an explanation, he said, the per-
son alluded to had come before him while conveying his prisoner
to the office, and he merely put out his staff to keep him off.
Mr. READ said, the officer had only acted in conformity with
bis duty, audrefused to receive the complaint.

Monday an over-drove ox, infuriated by the cruelty
of his pursuers, ran up King-street, Cheapside, to the
end next Guildhall. He attempted to enter both at
the door leading to the Court of Requests, and that
leading to the Police Office ; but several persons
standing at both doors, had just time to fling them
to, and secure themselves against danger. Amongst
them was a young woman, with a fine infant in her
arms, whom the animal followed up to the very
threshold. He then turned his attention towards
Guildhall, making a rapid movement to enter. The
hall was much thronged with people, and the Court of
King's Bench sitting, into which many of the crowd
scampered for safety 1 and the horned atrocity was
every instant expected to follow. But, fortunately, a
number of persons at the outer gate had the presence
of mind to plead a lolly demurrer in tar of his entry, by
closing the iron gates against him.
On Friday night some thieves tore down the iron-
• wkich was placed on Kensington-garden wall,
near Bayswater, to prevent people from scaling the
same, and carried it off without being discovered :
,they likewise tore up the railing of the archways
which were placed there for the puspose of preventing
tie swans from straying out of the gardens. It is
supposed a cart must have been employed, as the
quantity of iron taken away is very considerable.

C&rI'ENkUROH, NOVEMBER 16.
The Convoy under charge of the SATURN and BEL-
LEROPHON, was obliged to pit in here km the 14th
inst. from hard westerly iiiads. One vessel (a gal:
Hot) was lost in the Belt, and another, notwithstand-
ing every exertion, wan captured 14 seven gun-looati,
and carried into Nassau: A large Dantiic ship, the
Asprees, laden with timber, got on a rock coming
intd this anclibrige, but get off yesterday, and Waif
up to Gottenburgh, water logged. The wind is now,
set in at N. E. and they are all getting under weigh.
The ships which parted from the NED Etviti are col-
lected here, And will sail with the TATO:AR frigate to
the Baltic. By accounts from Riga, of the 20th Octo.:
bet, fourteen vessels were waiting there for licence td
Iload. It is now very cold and frosty ; and if this wind
' continues, it must be expected the upper ports in the
Baltic will soon be frozen up. The FORWARD ar-
rived on the 14th with 20 sail front Leith ; she takes
the ships bound thence, and to the Northern ports,
which are part of the SATURN'S coriVoy. Between
I •
the 25th of June and this time, including the con-
voys under the BELLEROPHON and EDGAR, near 1500
sail of vessels will have passed the Belt, for England-
To these are to lit added the convoys which went
home early in the year, tvith the ORION ; and that
with Sir RICHARD Itiervrs, in the beginning of Jude:
Rear-Admiral PICKMORE was to bring down the trade
,assembled at Carlsoona, the 15th of this mouth ; and
the MINOTAUR, and smaller vessels, will sail with the
Ilast convoy the Ist of December, if the weat!let will
permit them to stay so long.
