itte ovor, at - ie sound a bale, the whole Bar-

in a blaze. In the Officers Barracks weie several ap-
propriate transparencies, among which in the mess-
room, there was one with a. picture of his Majesty, on
one side thereof, there was a transparency of St.
George, and on the other St. Patrick, with the words
“ Long live the King" underneath ; the whole was
wellconducted,aud mid a grand effect. In consequence
of the notification of the Magistrates and Gentlemen
of the town and neighbourhood, intending to dine

met at the King's Arms Inn. The Provost was at the
head of the one table, with Lieutenant-Colonel Ca-

Rule Britannia ; Mr. Solicitor-General Boyle, the
Member for the County ; General Campbell, the
Member for the burgh ; the Lord Lieutenant of the
County, with many other loyal and patriotic toasts.
During the evening Mr. Templeton favoured the com-

The company parted about nine o'clock, well pleased
with the entertainment, and with each other, in order
to dress for the assembly, which was well attended.
Among tly,;, company present were, Brigadier-Gene-

The Jubilee was celebrated at Ballantrae with lively
demonstrations of loyalty. Lieut. M'Donald's detach-
ment of the Argyllshire militia fired a feu de joys ;
in the evening, a select party of friends assembled at
the chief Inn, where they partook of a superb dinner,

The tenants on the estates of Miss Preston tamp-
bell, of Fernton, assembled to commemorate the•
fiftieth anniversary of his Majesty's accession to the
throne, on Tomachcastle, once the romantic residence
of an ancient Nobleman, the Earl of Strathearn. On
this delightful eminence, situated at the termination
of an extensive valley, by the foot of which the river
Earn beaudiclly meanders, a large bonfire was light-
ed, which illdwinated the adjacent country, and ex-
hibited the most grand and brilliant appearance.—
Around this blaze of light, on the same spot where,
perhaps, the ancient heroes of Caledonia had often
met with their noble host to fan the flame of patrio-
tism, enjoy the convivial feast, or to brace the sinews
of war, a great multitude partook of a suitable enter-
'aintrent for celebrating with their fellow-subjects the
Jubilee if the best of Kings. They were all animated
with the most ardent sentiments of loyalty and attach.
' ment to their gracious Sovereign, under whose auspi-
cious reign they have so long. enjoyed peace in their
native land, liberty, protection, happiness, social
order, while the surrounding nations of Europe have
been diAracteti with revolutionary contests, and the
fairest portions of the globe have been depopulated by
the desolating scourge of war, and their soil drenched
with blood. They drank health and long life to their
beloved Sovereign with unbounded shouts of joy ; the
health of Lord Melville, the illustrious statesman who
has so long resided in their neighbourhood ; to the me-
mory of the immortal Sir Ralph Abercrumby, the
venerable hero who gloriously fell in defence of his
country, and was the near connection of t!.e pro.
.
prietor. The health of Lady Abercrombie, his wor-
thy relict, who was born among them. The presence
of the amiable heiress, in all her usual vivacity and
. condescension, who had called them together, and by
whose generosity they w ere so liberally regaled, added
; much to the hilarity of the meeting. Her health
was drunk, as well as her sisters and other ladies and
gentlemen who honoured them with their company.
After spending the evening in the utmost harmony
and conviviality, after exhibiting demonstrations of
loyalty to his Majesty's person, gratitude for the in-
valuable blessings of his reign, and the most profound
veneration for those distinguished personal virtues,
which make him worthy of the admiration of the pre-
sent, and the imitation of future ages, they returned
home, rejoicing at the opportunity which had been
given them of evincing their attachment to their King
and country.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, Mieharl Dogherty, con-

House of-Correction, to undergo twelve months so-
itary confinement. _ _

A- serious affray took place yesterday, in the neigh-
bourhood of Brunswick-square, betwixt twc soldiers
and three Police Officers, who had gone to apprehend,
one Mahor.y, a deserter, at a public-house, who at-
tempted to escape by the back of the house, but was
apprehended. Shortly after a general attack was made
by a body of Iri.h labourers, who succeeded in rescu-
ing him. The soldiers were dreadfully beaten, and
one of them is not expected to live.
Sunday evening, the house of Mr. Pearce, grocer,
in Old-street, was broken open (timing the time the
family were at Chapel) by a gang of villains, who,
after possessing themselves of all the cash they could
find, completely stripped the shop of every article
that was portable, with which they got clear off.
A daring robbery was committed on Friday night,
on the premises of Mr. Willies, the Running Horse
public house, in Piccadilly. The villains entered the
premises-by the trap-door which leads into the cellar,
from whence they stole seven gallons of spirits, 14
bottles of red, and four of white wine, and tapped a
butt of beer, from which they took out several gal-
lons, and from the till £4 in halfpence.
