Thurfday laft the mail from Ballinafloe to'Cal.
way, and the mail from Philip(town to Edenderry,
were both robbed by bands of armed ruffians.
• At her own expence the Countefs ofHatknwiccE
has introduced into the Liberty, looms and other
implements of trade of a fuperior and improved
confirudion, encouraging to the ufe of them, and
exciting by frequent premiums and fiiperintendance,
an emulation to profjt of thefe advantages, and
prove the quality and encreafe the value of their
different fabrics.

Her Excellency has alfo fet on foot efiablifii.
ments fnr the Education of the Poor Children in
the Liberty, and for their inftruetion in the ufeful
Arts; there, at regular periods, are vifited by the
Governeffes and other Ladies of the Vice-Regal
Houfehold, and, not unfrequently, they have the
benefit of her Excellency's own infpeaion,at which
time the is careful to bellow fuitable rewards on
fuch as peculiarly dillinguifh themfelves by atten.
tion and improvement.

Yetterday Bond-greet and St. James'slreet
were fuller of loungers than they have been fince
the fall of the leaf. The Duke of CUMBERLAND
was among the fafttionables.

Mr. KING, Mailer of the Ceremonies of the
Lower Rooms, in Bath, has commenced an aaion
again( the Proprietor of them, for having refufed
to open them this feafon.

The cnrricle horfes of the much lamented Mr.
HEATHCOTZ were fold at Tatterfall's lall week
for 140 guineas. They were knocked down to
Mr. Mot LAND, of Walthamilow.

On Saturday a Life Boat, built by Mr. GREAT.
HEAD, of South Shields, was brought to Liverpool
on a large waggon, for the purpofe of being
tranfported to the Ifle of Man.—The name of the
boat is, The Duke of Abel, of Douglas, and is a
prefent from his Grace, for the tile of that Ifland.
Mrs. SIDDONS is arrived in Dublin, where flit is
laid to be engaged for the Winter feafon.
Mrs. JORDAN has cleared upwards of toool. by
her fhort trip into Lancafhire, where her charming
talents have made a lafting impreflion.
DRURY-LAM—Lail night the Mufical Farce of
The Poor Soldier was performed for the firft time at
this Theatre, principally, we believe, for the pur-
pofe of furnifhing Mr. CHERRY with an opportu.
nity of appearing an the charader ofDarhy,of which
he gave a very fpirited and humourous delinea-
tion, exhibiting the more prominent features of
novelty, as he delivered the dialogue in the Irilh
brogue; his diminutive figure alfo added to the
general effed of the performance ; we cannot,
however, rank it equal with the Darby of the other
houfe.—The fongs of Petrick were fung with
fcience by KELLY : the fine air, Tho' Leixfhp
proud of its &May bowers, was omitted altogether..
IDIONLIM difplayed his ufual powers in Dermot.
Mefdames MOUNTAIN and BLAND particularly ex-
celled in Nerah and Kathk,ne ; the reft of the cha-
raiders were ably fupported.

COVENT-GARDEN.—Laft night a numerous and
elegant audience were again attracted to thisfloufe
by REYNOLDS'S Dtlays and Blkndert. When the
curtain had dropped, Mr. FAWCETT came for.
ward, and fpoke nearly as follows :
" Ladles and Gentlemen—The Epilogue was advertifedtobe
spoken this evening, only through the miftake of the printer,
as it did not meet your approbation it was withdrawn. Mrs.
MATTOCKS therefore hopes, that you will indulgently difpenfe
with her undertaking the irkfome talk of again attempting to
recite it.
The audience received this apology with fuch
expreflions of latisfaCtion, that it was evident they
were rather gratified than offended by the orniffion
We are happy to cones a ltatement in a late
publication, relative to the title of Athenry,
which we find to be perfectly erroneous. The
honours of that premier Barony of Ireland are
now in abeyance between the two furviving daugh-
ters and Coleireires of the late Earl of LOUTH,
Baron of ATHENRY. On his Lordfhip's denrne,
in 1799, without iffue male, the Earldom became
extinct—but the Barony being infer, is tranfmitted
in the above-mentioned channel. In fucli a cafe,
it is in the difcretion of the Royal Prerogative to
invelt either of the Co-h.tireffes with the dormant
Peerage ; but no fuch determination having taken
place, it is to be prefumed that the honours of that
ancient houfe are referved for 'Eaomas BEKNING•
HAM SEWELL, Efq. the natural claimant of thefe
diftindions, as being the only fon and heir appa-
rent of the Lady ELIZABETH, Wel daughter and.
co-heirefs of the late Earl of LouTH, Baron of
ATHENRY, whole other daughters have no male
ifl'ue. We are the more founded in this fuppoil-r
Lion, as it appears that all the regular forms
authenticating this cafe have been palled through
by that Gentleman fince the death of his Grand-
father, (in confequence of an order of reference
from his Majetty), to the entire fati4aCtion of ti:e
Crown Lawyers—and that no other claim had
fufficient weight to be brcught forward to the 1,10-
Lice and decition of thole learned Officers.
occasional airumption of the title by the lately d:-
Leafed JOHN BIRMINGHAM, Efq. of Dalgin, mt.
county of Galway, who pretended to a diltintr.:-
lationthip with the late Lord by the male line,
proves to have been wholly unwarranted, as the
creation dates from a period long antecedent
t.
the in(litntion of titles by patent, and the defcen,
by heirs general is inconteltibly proved on re"a"l
to exit} in the Co-heileffes above-mentioued.

TORBAY, OCTOBER 31.
Lail night the wind flew round from S. W. to
E. and blew a whole gale. This morning early
the Utyssts cut away two anchors, and went to
fea ; as did the Advice and Exprefs brigs, after
cutting away one anchor each, all bound for Tri-
nidad, I am told.
Two P. M. the wind is ♦eered to E. N. E. and
the Chip ANDALUSIA, Capt. Cox, has this infant
weighed, and is making out of the Bay. A ftrange
brig, name known, bound for Bourdeaux, remains
in the Bay only; her Captain, I find, lies Fick on
board, of a fever and the ague, and I fuppofe will
not fail till the can get her anchor.—The (loop
Eagle, Capt. Poac HAS a, remains in Brixham Pier.
