sorry to say, still exist in this County, a disgrace
and a lasting reproach to that generous and high-
minded spirit which characterised our peasantry.,
It is a truism that several parties of hired assassins,
well appointed as to arms and ammunition, have ser
vet al times, withal the last two years, lain in wait for
Mr. M'Mahon. " There's a special providence in the
fall of a sparrow," and to a similar providence Mr.
*Mahon attributes his numerous hair-breadth
escapes from those assassins. At the last fair of
Nantenan, near Rathkeale, Mr. M'Mahon and his
brothers, as they Were about to quit the fair, at an
early hour, were treacherously surrounded, and, in
the most cdvardly and brutal manner, nearly beat to
death with stones, by a gang of nearly 40 ruffians.,
Mr. M'Mahon and his brothers owe their lives to the
humane interference of several respectable individuals
who were ti ea at the fair."
The Dublin Papers of Tuesday contain a report of
the proceedings which took place in the Guild of
Mei chants on the Quarter-day, on the subject of the
repeal of the Union. Those proceedings anywhere
else would be comical enough ; but fun is a sort of
business among our Irish brethren. Alderman No-
GENT moved the first question of the day—namely,
the appointment of a Committee to prepare Resolu-
tions for the "repeal of the Union." Take one sample
of the worthy Alderman's reasoning powers and moral
taste :•44 I say that the repeal of that measure is the
only thing that can restore independence and tran-
quillity to our country." (We would humbly ask
the patriotic Alderman what he means by the word
" restoring ?")—Let that be as it may, a Committee
of 21 wise men were named, and among them the
aforesaid Alderman NUGENT, to draw up Resolutions
for " the repeal ;" while in ten minutes afterwards a
motion to admit a few Catholic Gentlemen into their
Guild was rejected by a large and loud majority.-:.,
Thus they declare on one side that the Catholics shall
have nothing, and on the other they cry out for a re-
volution, which infallibly gives them all/

DEATH OF, MRS. G 4RRICK.

Wednesday afternoon, at the advanced age of 98,
the venerable relict of our great Roscius, suddenly
expired, while sitting in her chair, at her honse on
the Adelphi Terrace. So little of previous indica-
tion was there of her approaching dissolution, that
Wednesday morning she was making preparations to
attend the re-opening of Drury-Lane Theatre, of
which, we understand, she was a very large proprie-
tor. Great as was her age, she was generally thought
to have been much more advanced in years. We
heard it confidently stated, some time ago, that she
was above a hundred ; but we have reason to be-
lieve that the above is correct. Her maiden name
was VIOLZTTE, and she was a native of. Germany, not
Italy, as generally supposed. She was born at Vienna,
wher.e she was a dancer highly admired. At an early
age she-was taken under the protection of Lord and
Lady BURLINGTON, with whom she resided at her•
marriage. It is understood that Lord BURLINGTON
gave her six thousand pounds as a marriage portion,
when she united with our unrivalled Roscius, in the
July of 1749. Mrs. GARRICK was remarkably beau-
tiful in her face and person, and till• her death she
retained that erect deportment which she derived
from her original profession. GARRICK, always sen-
sibly affected by ridicule, endeavoured to avert it on
his marriage, and therefore published a Poem on the
occasion, of which he induced his friend, Nan MOOR;
as he was familiarly styled, the author of the Tragedy
of the Gamester, to assume the credit ; but it was well
known to GARRICK'S frieads, and particularly to the
late Dr. blows v, of Chelsea College, who. was inti-
mate with both, that it was really the production of
GARRICK himself, written for the purpose of antici-
pating the wit and humour likely to assail him, on his
adopting the character of Benedict in real life. Mr.
and Mrs. GARRICK were a very happy couple, and
enjoyed the highest society in the kingdom, tiil the
close of his lite, in the January of 1779, and it is re-
markable, that during the whole period of their mar-
riage, whatever invitations they received, or excursioas
they took, they never once slept asunder.—Mrs. a-
RICK'S private box, at Drury-Lane Theatre, in conse-
quence of that venerable Lady's death, was closed
yesterday evening.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. I&
The supply of nearly ail sorts of Grain, since-Monday, are
tolerably good, and most of our buyers being in want, occasion*
a fair demand for nearly swtry article of a good quality. Wheat,
which is fine, supports Monday's prices, and there is rather more
trade for ordinary samples. Barley.l3sens,aird Peas, remain in
price as per our last quotation; and Oats fully maintain, their
price, but the trade is not brisk.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Wednesday evening, about sis
o'clock, Mr. STURTEVANT, glover and hosier, Lud-
gate-street, corner of rssationere-court, arrived home
after an absence of Ave days; he was sitting in the
parlour in good health and spirits, conversiog with
his niece, when he complained of a sudden pain in his
breast, fell back, and expired immediately. .
