Saturday, Dr. RICHARDSON, upon returning to
Dumfries, his native town, after traversing the Polar
Regions, with Captain FRANKLIN and his party, was
presented by the Magistrates with the fzeedom of
that Burgh. Provost KERR, on delivering it, ob-
served, that generally the ceremony was -meant to
express only the Corporation's regard for the indivi-
dual who received such a mark of its favour ; but
that the exercise of it, on the present occasion, must 'I
gratify every individual in the town, as he was sure
no one could be found who did not feel proud that so
distinguished a traveller was his townsman. Doctor
RICHARDSON, in a few words, but with neatness and
elegance, returned thanks.
A letter from Captain HECOHAN, of the Thomson's
packet of Dumfries, to his owners, dated Pictou, the
21st May, says, they had landed their passengers all
well, and would proceed that day to Richebucto. In
lat. 43. 40. long. 52.30. they fell in with the ship
Lord Wellington, of Whitby, which had run upon an
iceberg, and damaged herself; they lay by her till
they had.tried every means to stop the leak, but in
'vain, when the crew left her (19 in number), with
eight feet water in her hold, and came on board of]
the packet, and were safely landed in Pictou.
We are happy to find that the Irish papers received
this morning, do not mention a single outrage on thei
much dreaded Ist of July. In Dublin the Royak
I Standard was, as usual, hoisted on the Bedford Tower,
*Web was the only honour which marked the anni-
versary
of the battle of the Boyne.
The persons arrested at Doneraile have been ad-
muted to bail One of the Dublin papers states, on
the authority of a letter from Moy, that a party of
dragoons stationed at Magherafelt, who had been
'taken out for the purpose of repressing illicit distilla-
tion, had been attacked and fired on by a party of
Ribbonmen near Stuartstown, county of Tyrone.—
iThey, of course, returned the fire ; and, it ,is said,
that eleven of he Itibbonmen, two dragoons, and
three horses, were killed on the spot, and several se-
riously wounded.
NEW INSOLVENT Btu..--The most important alte-
ration in the above Bill is, that it subjects the pri-
soner who does not prove his insolvency to have arisen.
from mil fortune, to be remanded for eighteen mouths,
unless three-fourths of his creditors, to number and.
value, consent to his discharge.
