tember last, approving the Resolution of the Court of Directors

tinned open till six, when the numbers were declared

grant was consequently affirmed by a majority of 272.
Yesterday a Court-of Directors was held, when the

China; Captain T. SANDERS, Orwell; and Captain J. Wataxa,

Tuesday, there was a Board at the Treasury, to
take into consideration the reductions at the different
Public Offices, and a Minute WAS signed by Lord LI-
VERPOOL, &c. that those who now- retire should re-
ceive an allowance according to the scale•mentioned
in their Lordships' letter in the year ND.
The appointment of obscure individuals to lucrative
places under Government, whose only claim seemsto
have been their rendering themselves obnoxious to
the Public, is a matter well worthy of Parliamentary
enquiry, while many worthy individuals have been
dismissed from office who have spent the prime of
their life in the public service.
There is so truth in the account of the apprehen-
sion of the Navy Office delinquent at Charleston. It
is known that he sailed from this country in the Comet,
ORZSIVOLD, which sailed from the Downs on the sth
of November for New York, and there has been no in-
telligence of her since.
For several days there has not been a single Lon-
don smack in the harbour of Leith. A like circum-
stance has not, we understand, occurred for several
years past.
This morning a Lady, while proceeding from the
Bank, was robbed of her reticule, containing 1:12. 10s.

• DUBLIN, JANUARY 7.
The Marquis WELLESLEY attended Divine Service
yesterday, in the Castle Chapel, when the Rev. Lord
BRANDON delivered an excellent discourse; after which
the Citizens were highly gratified to meet his Excel
lency, attended by Colonel SHAW, walking through
Cavendish-row, Mou ntjoy-square, Gardiner-street,
to the Custom-House, the beautiful architecture of
which he seemed much pleased with. His Excel
lency called at the mansion of the Marquis of Moo-
HXI3A, in Sackville-street. His Excellency looked
well, and seemed in the best health and spirits. We
anticipate much good from a Viceroy whose urbanity
is so congenial to the feelings of the Irish People.
This day the LORD MAYOR and Corporation, at-
tended by the City Regalia, proceeded in state to the
Castle, to present the Address voted on the 4th inst. '
to his Excellency the Marquis WELLESLEY.

The Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT left town thib
morning for London.

The Marquis WELLZSLEY has ordered that the fol-
lowing splendid uniforms shall be worn by the Mem-
bers of his Household, on State occasions, viz.—Sky
blue coat, lined with white silk, and richly embroi-
dered with silver lace—the waistcoat also richly em-
broidered. The undress is to consist of a brown coat,
lined with yellow silk; buff waistcoat and breeches.
The buttons are to be gold, ornamented with a sham-
rock in the centre of a star.

The sale of Earl TALBOT'S large stock of Ayrshire
cattle, store sheep, and horses, took place on Friday,
at the Phoenix Park. Every article advertised for
sale was disposed of, and at very great prices, the
black cattle particularly. The wines were s?ld on
Saturday: they consisted chiefly of very small quan-
tities of French and other white wines: there was some
red Cape in pints. The auctioneer took his station
outside the steps at the rear of the. Vice-regal Lodge.
