Order issued by the late gallant and respected Commander of
the Forces in Ireland, previous to his departure front Dublin :
Adjutant-General's Office, Dublin, 24th June, 1822.
His MASCIITY has been pleased to direct the following reduc-
tions and changes to be made in the Staff of Ireland from the
25th instant inclusive :

The Commander of the Forces to be replaced by a Lieu-
tenant-General on the Staff.

The Adjutant-General and the Quartermaster-General to be
discontinued.

. Lieutenant-General Sir SAMUEL AIieMIEUTY, G. C. IL to be
Lieutenant-General on the Staff.
Previously to quitting the command of the Army In Ireland,
General Sir DAVID BAIRD feels that he owes it to the uniform
support and assistance he has derived from the General Officers,
the Heads of Departments, the Staff, and the Officers in com-
mand of Corp., to express his entire approbation of the zeal and
intelligence with which they have respectively fulfilled the du-
ties intrusted to them, and especially during a period when the
state of the country called for more than ordinary vigilance and
exertion.

The Officers and troops in general have merited his warmest
commendation, not only for the discipline and good order they
have observed under harassing duties, and in the peculiar state
of dispersion in which this Army is placed, but for the temper
and forbearance they have manifested upon every occasion.

Between one arid two o'clock this morning the
Metropolis was visited by a violent thunder storm,
accompanied by heavy rain. The lightning M as very
vivid, and the peals of thunder laud and long-conti-
nued. At two o'clock all was again calm, and the
rain entirely ceased. About noon, however, the
" lightning's vivid glare," accompanied by loud and
Frequent peals of thunder, announced an approaching
storm, when the rain soon began to fall in torrents,
and continued for some time to deluge the streets of
the Metropolis with water and to clear them of pas-
sengers, except in the neighbourhood of Whitecha-
pel, whete the anxious visitants to Fairlop Fair very,
reluctantly quitted the coaches, chaises, carts, andll
other vehicles, in which they had taken places to visit
that annual scene of festivity, Hainault
As a proof of the healthful state of the inhabitants
of the City of London, which within its walls contains
ninety-seven parishes, we learn by the last weekly
bills of mortality that the number of deaths did not
exceed fifteen.

DUEL.--Capt.O'GßADy and Mr.JAMEsGRATTAN,
both Irish County Members, had an affair of honour
lately, in consequence of a political dispute. The
former was attended by the Hon. JOHN Lowrnza, as
his second, and the I.attei by the Hon. CHARLES
HOWARD BUTLER CLARKE. After an exchange of
shots the seconds interfered, and the parties shook
hands before they left the ground.
DimmteNnass.—VVednesday, a man was observed
in Theobald's-road, Gray's Inn, in a state of intoxi-
cation; at length he leaned his bead on a post, and
remained in that situation some time, as if in a sleep:
a person went up to rouse him, but at the touch of
his hand the body fell=the man had expired !—Ver-
dict—Died from.excessive drinking.
tiTRAORDINARY CIRCUM.,TANCE.—A few even-
ings back, a person of respectability died from the
effect of the following singular fright :—He had been
sojOurning at a friend's house in Southampton-street,
Holborn, to avoid the importunities of a n-smerons
body or creditors, and the more disagreeable visits
of bailiffs, and he thought himself quite secure from
their intrusion ; but by some curious means or other
a Sheriff's officer, who held .a writ against the fugi-
tive, discovered his retreat, and prepared measures
for the caption. He repaired to the house at an un-
seasonable hour at night, and continued knocking
until the, door was opened, when he forced in, and
asked for the Gentleman by name, at the same time
announcing the object of his visit. The unfortunate
Gentleman was then in bed, but a person went up to
apprize him of the matter; when he heard it, his
colour left him, his frame became dreadfully agi-
tated, and he fainted away. Surgical assistance was
procured instantly, but life was gone ! Mr. STIR-
LING held an Inquest on the body on Saturday, when
it appearing that apoplexy was the cause of his death,
a verdict was returned to that effect.
L Atrrossaarus.—At a Melee days sale of books, Ste. that has
just concluded, several autographs were amongst the lots. One
lot was the signature of BONAP• ars ; it fetched egg/feet shillings.
Another lot consisted of several autographs, the most celebrated
of which was that of the late Princess Cal A ItLorns; the lot
fetched Si. - - .

Wednesday afternoon a female roiled at Mr. Harding's, stl•
trerstitith, thford-street, with a note, requesting some silver
teapots might be sent to a house in ChapeLplace, Vere-street,
for the approbation of a Lady who could not leave the house.
A young man was dispatched with some; and after being ad-
mitted by the same female, was sliewn Into the drawing.ronni,
where three teapots were selected by her, and taken up stairs
for the Lady's approbation. After waiting a quarter of an hour,
the young man rang the bell, and found she bad made her es-

getting under weigh and quitting their moorings,
waiting the signal for starting, from the Pearl yacht,
whose owner, the Marquis of ANGLESEY, had been
chosen Commodore for the day. At eleven o'clock,
the Commodore was seen standing to the eastward,
followed by the whole squadron, and on meeting
Admiral Sir JAMES H. Wllttswnto, ott Norris Castle,
who was on his way from Portsmouth to join the
fleet, in his beautiful cutter, the Sylph, the Marquis
left the Peat?, and, accompanied by the Hon. C. A.'
PELHAM, went on board the Admiral's yacht, which
immediately hoisted the Commodore's pendant, and
led the fleet round the white buoy of the Brambles
to the entrance of Southampton water, and thence to
the eastward; when, after beating as far as Hirrst
Castle, the squadron bore up and ran for Cowes
Roads, where they arrived about four o'clock, the
Parade and shores during this time being crowded
with spectators, who had assembled to gratify them-
..elves with the sight •of se novel and interesting. an

next Member in succession will be appointed Corn-
modore for the day ; at which time it is confidently

utmost expedition.

Wednesday sennight, while the Caledonian steam- ,
boat was leaving the quay at Perth, a young man,
who had been rather lath for his passage, in attempt.
ing to jump on board from a neighbouring vessel, tell
into the river. The Captain of the sloop, Mr. BETT,
of the Industty, from Inverkeithing, immediately
spruirg over, and holding by the hand of the Mate
of the vessel, who stood on deck, succeeded in lay-
ing hold of the drowning man. He was unable, how-
ever, thus to extricate him, and called out to the
Mate to let go his hand. The. Mate obeyed, and the
Master dropped into the Tay beside the young man,
who, with terror and despair painted in his counte-
nance, grasped him firmly by the waist. Captain
BETT being an excellent swimmer, turned upon his
back, supporting the lad on his breast ; but being en-
cumbered with his clothes, and the weight of the
body above, he sunk and rose again several tin:e,,
before- the boat which was sent to their assistance
reached them. It reached them, however, just in
time, and brought them ashote, amid the plaudits of
the spectators, who were filled with admiration at
the coolness and intrepidity displayed by Captain
BerT, during the whole transaction.
A fatal accident, occasioned by the fire-damp, took
place early on Monday morning, at the colliery of
Messrs. NuweouLos, near Sheffield. Ten of the work-
men had just descended the pit, where a quantity of
the gas was accumulated, which coming in contact
with the lighted candle, the vapour ignited, and five
of them were unfortunately killed by the explosion.
Two out of the number escaped with little.injury.
Three of them were shortly after extricated, though
so much burnt as to be considered in great danger.
Wednesday se'nnight, some wicked incendiary set
flue to the house of Mr. C. P. CAHILL, of Cranagh-
more, in the parish of Drum, within two miles of
Athlone, in the county of Roscommon. The flames
communicated to two adjoining houses, belonging to
wretchedly poor people, and entirely consumed the
same, and burnt to death a pouts? Lady, HARRIET
FLOOD, an inmate of Mr. CAHILL s.

• BOXING.
Tuesday was the day, for making an addition 'to .the stake-
money between Randall and Marlin, but, as Was anticipated,
the match is off, and without a forfeit, from the builLtling Man-
tier in which the articles were drawn up. It was at Spring's
house where the parties met, and to finish, Spring and Randall
had a fight, the marks of which the latter bears, and he accc.
Spring of hitting and kicking him when down. The matter is
not set at rest, and some diversion is likt:ly to ensue. • •
Two merry stand-up battles were fought yesterday morning,
on the Weald, near Stoke, Bucks. The first was for twenty
guineas, between Josh. Davis and Jae! Harris, two very good ones,
of eleven stone each. The first two rouwis lasted a quarter of
an hour, and the claret flowed in abundance.—Davis was thrown
in both rounds.

3d. Harris received a heavy facer, which darkened one of his
peepers, but he floored his adversary by a hit in the wind, which
doubled him up.
The 4th, .sth, and Sth rounds were fought in distress, but the '
men recover-d second wind in the seventh round, and turned to
for mischief. It was a gallant round in favour of Davis, who
loosened his adversary's jaw.
tith and 9th, Davis kept the lead, and Harris was blind of an
eye, but he floored Davis in both these rounds. lie however
had chance after, although he protracted the fight to the fif-
teenth round, when he was lilt down, and v as deaf to the call
of " '.me." Davis won it in thirty-two minutes.
Muss and Havoll..—"nliS was a merry fight for a purse of XS,
and it was won by Moss in twenty minutes, by superior fight-
ing. Haven was the biggest man, but Moss is a strangle left-
handed hitter at the head, and he man;;led his adversary's pro-
minent organs in good form.
. BATTLE BETWEEN A TOAD AND AN EEL !
. A few days ago, a toad, sitting on the edge of a small rivulet,
near Coniston Lake, Newcastle, by accident fell into the water,
where was a large eel, which immediately give it battle : it seized
it by one of its hind legs, and shook it as a terrier would a rat.
Still the toad defended itself with vigour, till the eel actually se-
vered its leg learn its body, which it swallowed, and az-ni re-
turned to the ch./cp, but with great care evaded coril!ng in front,
till espying one of the toad's unguarded moments, it wiz. d the
remaining kind leg, which soon shared the fate of the former.—
There being no more prominent parts behind, nor any other part
to si ize upon without rushing into the very heat of the contest,
the poor toad was suffered to escape with the hiss of two of its
most useful members !

SHAKING IN THE HAT!
" Ltre.."—Th.: following specimen of a certain kind of " Life"
—once all the go, but now rapidly going out, was brought un-
der the notice of the Sitting Magistrate yesterday, at llow-street
Office. A poor harmless translator of old shots was placed'at
the bar by a city officer, upon a charge of having stolen or
otherwise improperly obtained a cheque for WM. front one stolen,
Freslitield, Esquire.
This John Freshfield, Esq. is a diminutive forked-radish sort
of a young man ; very fashionably attired--ur, as he would say,
kiddi'y toad ; and, though it was scarcely noon, rather queer in
the attic—that is to say, not exactly sober. He stated his case
'in this manner :—" Here—l wish this fellow to say how be got
hold o' my cheque for three hundred—that's all you_know, let
him come that, and I shall be SlllWitti—rum go—had it kit
night, missed it this morning—d---d ram go. litre—here it
is, see! payable at Hankey's—all right; grabbed hint myself.
Went to Hankey's two hours 'fore Hank opened—waited two
hours—sat upon little stool, wouldn't be done, you
he comes with it—grabs hint! There be was—looked like a foul.
Halloo! says I—how did you come by it? Muss. Hadn't a
word, you know. Only let him come it now—all about it and
I'm satisfied. Don't like to be dune--a rum go, but can't stand
it. That's all."

The City Officer said, he had been sent for to Mulkey's, to
take the prisoner into custody ; and having done so, be carried
him before the Lord Mayor; but as it appeared the offence, if
there was any, had been committed in the county, hid Lordship
had referred the matter to Bow-street.

The Magistrate asked to see the " cheque," as the Esquire
called it. '('he officer produced it, and it proved to be no: a
cheque, but an acknowledgment from Messrs. Ilankey and Co.
that they had received .4.7.00 from John Freshtield, Esq. for '
which they would account to him on demand.
" Pray have you ad account at flankey's, Mr. Fresh&ld?"
asked the Magistrate.
Mr. Freshfield replied—" Who—l? not a hit of it. I'm fr.:hi
the country you know. I}---n town—had enough of it almost.
,Pftlan.d in this manner. Its a sick'her. Got it again, though.
Ottly want to know how that fellow—the long one there—came
by it. Put the Moot at flankey's to be safe, 'cause wouldn't be
done, and then lost the cheque ! That's a rum go—isn't it,
your worship?'
The :Magistrate asked the prisoner how he came by it ?
lie said he lodged at Mister Burn's, thefightingsrian, in Wind.
'mill-street, and two Gentlemen there, whom he did not know,
gave him the " cheque" to get cashed.
His Worship directed an officer to go to Burn's house and in.
quire about it. In about half an hour he returned with Mistdr
Burn in company.
" Burn, do you know anything of this busimss?" asked the
Magistrate. " Who was it gave this paper to the man at the Bar?'

.
" Who gave it him, your tVorship"—said Mister Burn," why,
I did." " You did !—and pray how did yoa come by it ?
Why, I won it, your Worship—won it by shaping in the hat r
replied Mister Burn, squeezing the sides of the hat together, and
giving it a hearty shake, to show his Worship the trick of it.
The Magistrate lsoked at Mr. Freshheld, who 10..ked at Mr.
Burn, who looked boldly round at everybody, as if nothing was
the matter; and at last Mr. Freshfield ejaculated—" Will, that
is a run go, however ! D—n mok never thought of that, you
know. Don't believe it, though. Cuming it strung, ek! Burn !
may be, though—won't be sure.',
After soliloquizing some time in this style, he began.% long
history of his having gone from Burn's to Spring's, and Spring's to
Burn's, and betting upon the " match for Monday ;" and t.king
the long odds at one plzce,, and giving them at another, till the
Magistrate and everybody else was quite weary' of it. .So his
Worship discharged the prisoner, recommended Jii...ter Burs
nut to addict himself to '4 shaking in the hat," directed the City
Officer to return Mr...Freshfield his .C3CO " cheque," and a 419.
viwi Fieshfield to put it into his pccke:, and return to his
I home in the country as soon as possible.

MARRIAGES IN 11tan Larx.—Yesterilay Lerl Spormen led to
