to Tnefday lark the High Sheriffs and a Depu.
Won of the Common Council, waited by appoint
anent upon Sir EVAN NEPIAN, with the refulutions
to which they had agreed at lafttilichaelmas Affemi

IA). There rehilutions particularly corn; lained of
the ruinous andfilthyllateof the films of Dublin ;

the frauds by which the price of corn and other pro-
vircins is fo extravagantly enhanced ; the &tires to
which every kind oftrgaade is fubjeaed by the want of
Myer coin for change ; and, finally, the great incon
rimce fiffered in the principal fireete, of Dublin by

the want of an avenue from Calite-Oeet to Ship-1
Meet, Gave the clofinx of the pattern of the Cattle-

pate. This refpeaable Deputition was received in
the lona polite manner by the Chief Secretary t he
en:eted fully into the (event top:cs propounded, and
aimed the gentlemen of the with of Government to
accede to their defiles. Refpefhng the paving and
t;eading of the preen, Government had, he faid,
already an contemplation to propofe Come effectual
remedy; that the &Nat of corn and provifions was'
now aBually under their confideration; that tnea-1
fares had aftually been taken for procuring, as fine.'
dily as the dies could be executed, a fupply of change
for this country ; and, finally, that the avenue be-
tween Caftle-greet and Ship-firect fhould• be imme-
diately opened. The Deputation continued for tome
time with Sir Eves, fuggefling their own opinions
upon thefe feveral Wirth, and difcuffing the diffi-
culties which occurred in the courfe of converfation;
and departed highly gratified by the polite and at-
tentive reception with which they had met.
A few nights ago- fire took place in a honk in
txchequer-fireet, owing to the careleffnefs of a boy
who let a candle fall among tome hay on which he
went to fleep. Owing to the exertions of Bennett, the
engine keeper of St. Andrea's parifh, the flames were
got under, and the life of the boy was fortunately
Caved.
Major Site and Juflice BELL, by uncealing elec-
tions, have fucceeded in breaking three diftina knots
of villains—one, a gang of robbers; another, a fet of 1,
bank note forgers; and a third, a party of dollar,

lnitted for trial.
SPORTING.—Sir FENTON AVLSIZIL'S bounds, with
tie Kildare Hurd', had an excellent run from Cor-
Daily on Monday Morning Taft. The hounds found
jug at day-light, and forcing the fox in.rnediately
from this famous hill, he tried both Davidttown and
Yellow Earths' and finding them flint, he went of
pliantly over Hugheftown, Stratford, and Belleeke
Hills, were being turned by country people, he went
aff beautifully for Friarilown and Turnannt, in
which he was fun to ground. The feat lay fo high
over all this fine grata country, and the hounds car-
ried fuch a head, that all the horfemen were beat in
the beginning ; there were only a hemtfman and two
Gentlemen that got in at the end of the hunt by the
advantage of knowing the lhortefl line of country.

The meafures adopted at our Cufiam-houfe have,
for tome days pant, engrolled almo(t all our atten-
tion. You mutt have heard from the Irifh Papers,
that nearly the entire of the officers in the Excite
Department, were, on Monday tall, fuddenly fuf-
rended, and their places filled by a draft from the
country. A Rep of this kind, where no delinquency
was proved, or even infinuated, naturally excited
loud murmurs againfl the perfon from whom it
finwed, (Mr. Fnrrea) the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer ; nor have thefe murmurs been confined to the
difplaced officers. The Revenue Board, who were
not even confithed on the expediency of it, are highly
offended, and a very angry altercation is (aid t.r have
taken place yellerday on this fubjea between Mr. F.
and Lord D. the tenior Commiffioner. It is alto (aid,
that that branch of the Revenue, the collation of
which is the immediate objea of Reform, has coals.

clear flame made its appearance, which fpread a dii-
agreeable fmcll, and blazed for an hour and a halt.
The eruption occupie3 one half of the lake, forming
a hill of ten fathoms in height, and 300 in citcumfe-
fence.
By the lag accounts from Botany Bay, we learn,
that Crofsley and Robinfon, two noted Attornies,
who were tranfported thither from this capital, have
realized conliderable funs of money, they having for
Tome years engraft!, or rather divided between
them, nearly the whole of the legal Wind's of the
colony, in their proteffional way. Crofsley's time
of fentenat having wiled, and his pockets being
pretty well replecithed, is about to return, and be-
come once more an orsa:4na to his profelDon in Lon-
don, leaving the colonial field open to Robinfon,
whore fentance of tranfportation is to endure for life.

The trade of Fortune Hunting, whether by Mar
riage or Legaciec, is generally attended with a deal
of vexatious trouble:. In the former purfuit, many
hair.hreadth cfc.:pes from petional danger, arc fre-
quently expel, lenced by the adventuring gallants ;.
and in the latter, people often t:angle half their lives
away. before the death of the parties realife their
ezpeftancy. Yet there :5 mode of Intone-hunting,
and but cne, where all danger, labour, and trouble
arc avoided. This objet is evidently a State Lottery.
Here the only trouble, if it can be termed filch, is to
Rep, or to fend to a Lottery Office, and the only ex.
ence th^ very final' one, comparatively fpeaking, of
P •
purchafing a Ticket or Share ; which, without loft
of our precious time. may in an inftant prefent a for-
tune of magnitude. Wlioever reads the Scheme of
the enfuing Lottery, sill plainly perceive it is one of
t"'e mod ialexelling that ever folicitcd the embrace of
a.trenturers.
