COUNT BETTERA.

It is already known that an order has been issued
for the removal of this person out of the kingdom,
under Elm Aliitts Act. As soon as this circumstance
became known to the Count, he contrived to possess
himself of a brace of pistols and a sword, and swore
that he would shoot the first man who dared attempt
to expel him: he kept the door of his room constantly
locked, and threatened destruction to all who dared
to enter. Indeed, so resolute and determined was he,
that Mr. Wood, a messenger belonging to theAlien-
office, was dispatched to Queen-square Police-office
on Saturday evening, for the assistance of a couple
of police-officers. The Magistrates, however, de-
clined interfering, but allowed the officers to go, if
they thought proper; when Pople and Handley volun-
teered their services upon this occasion, and pro-
ceeded softly to the Count's room, at the Alien-office,
the door of which they found locked. They then
held a consultation together, how they should best
disarm the Count with the least danger to themselves.
They spoke to the Count through the key-hole, who
declares!, with an oath, that he would not surrender
himself until certain conditions should be complied
with ; and swore that the first who entered his room
forcibly should be a dead man. The officers again
consulted together, and, by a manmuvre, obtained
entrance to the Count's apartment. He made a des-
Ferate attempt to break from them, and to seize his
pistols, which lay on the table, but was foiled in his
endeavours, and completely overpowered by the
prompt and resolute conduct of the officers, who tied
his hands with a handkerchief, which effectually pre-
vented his doing any mischief. After he was secured,
he told the officers that if they had not had recourse
to stratagem, he certainly should have blown their
brains out, and the officers had every reason to believe
his assertion, for on examining the pistols they were
found to be heavily loaded; he had also a sword by
his side, which he was prevented from using. A
coach was procured, into which the officers got with
the prisoner, who is a powerful athletic man, about
40. After travelling a short distance in the coach,
they took a post-chaise, and drove to- Gravesend,
,where they arrived safe with the' prisoner at two
o'clock on Sunday morning, when he was imme-
diately placed on board the Alien vessel, which was
about to sail for the )afore, where he will await the
arrival of a vessel to take him to Ostend.

The Loan Cuitsicirs.wa possesses strength and ac-
tivity equal to any man of hii age. His Lordship is
in his 74th year. Duiing his residence at Encons, his
seat in Dorsetshire, his Lordship breakfasts regularly
at eight; and goes shooting (as soon as the season
commences) at nine; a sport to which his Lordship
is very vouch attached, and is allowed to be as good
a shot as any Nobleman or Gentleman in the coun•
try. His Lordship walks over so much ground in
the course of a day, that his gamekeeper is frequently
knocked up.
A Floating Chapel has been. opened in the port of
Dublin, for the use of the seamen. A vessel of 2601
tons has been fitted up for that purpose. This is the
first chipel of the kind in the Established Church.
