GRAND REVIEW AT DUBLIN.

in the early part of Monday, a report was current,
especially in the Public Offices, that a Grand Review
of the troops in garrison, would take place at two
o'clock, in the Phoenix Park, in honour of, and in the
pre4enee of, M irshal MACDONALD (the Duke of Taren-
Sir WALTER SCOTT. and others . Great numbers
accordingly' flocked to the Fifteen Acres.
About two o'clock the different Regiments stationed
here, with the exception of that (the 75th) supplying
the city guards for the day, were on the ground.—
Shottly afterward. Sir COLQUHOUN GRANT, accompa-
nied by Major-General. Sir CRARLIES.DovLE, and other
military persons I.f distinction, entered the field. They
were immediately joined by Sir Court CAMPBELL, Ad-
jutant-General G Annimea, and the Quatter-Master-
General Sir GEORGE DOUGLAS. Sir COLQUHOUN GRANT
having•taken his station behind the Royal Standard,
the moans pas,cf before him in slow and quick time in
the following order:—
Third Dragoon Guards The 22d Regiment
A division of Flying Artillery A division of Flying Artillery
The 5d Foot Guards The 16th Hussars.
.Thesildßeginient (Highlanders) I
The different Regiments then went through a variety
or svolutions (for which they had no previous prepare-
tion);.indei.endenily of their usual discipline as parade
a,,. Ss CoLquHouN GRANT communicates his
'orders only on the spot, as if he, and those under him,
wete on a field of battle.
Am those who accompanied Sir COLQIINOUN GRANT, but two, wore
the liritiih uniform; one of those two must, it was said, be the
" tlarsiqial of France." One of the Gentlemen wore a green
cost art white hat, but he appeared too young for the veteran
:Nelaciioriat.n. The other was dressed in a plain military frock, with
a corresponding hat and feather. All agreed he was the man who
so often gained reputation " at the cannon's mouth." While the
424 passed in quick time, the Highland pipes of the Regiment
struck up a Caledonian tune, be smiled. This was " confirmation
strong," that it was no one else but the Duke of Tasesime, and
a few Gentlemen, natives of North Britain, who were in the
crowd, swore it was a MACDONALD, for" his heart naturally warmed
to the Scotch music."
The day was beainifully fine, and the Review, on the whole,
was * very great treat to the spectators.

We learn from Leipsic, that the New Association of
that place, .called the Elbn-American society, have
shipped a great quantity of cloth, drapery, shawls, lace,
&c.• for Mexico and Colombia. in different places of
Ndrthern•Germany, active measures have been taken to
open communications with the New Republics.
Letters •from Trieste, of July 4, say that CoLoco-
TZON/0 who has made himself master of all the military
and civil powers of Greece, has caused Prince Mavito-
CONDATO, the friend of Lord 8Y110.14, to be beheaded.—

. From a . report lately made of the affairs of the
French *Cass e d'Antrirtissirnent, or Sinking Fund, it ap-
piars that, during the last six months, they have pur-
chased for 317,286 f. of reales 5 per cents. which cost
7,696,027 f. Bc. making an average of 101 f 99c. and
also 501,065 reale; at S per cent. costing 12,761,5131.

su possecsiun of 37479,972 f. of rentes, which have cost,

The ivrit.tsure, TULLY, from Vera Cruz, arrived on
Wednesday, at Liverpool, with the Mexican Minister
on board. The swiftsure put into New York to refit,
-On the Mk of June.
Monday next, the wheat harvest will begin in many
parts of the county of Sussex. The crops of every kind,
with the single exception of hops, are good and abun-
dant. There is, moreover, a considerable stock of corn
yet in hand of the produce of the last year)
About eleven o'clock last night, a fire broke out on
the premises of Mr. Rhodes, cow-keeper, on the banks
of the New River, at Islington, which destroyed seve-
ral barns and outbuildings, with their contents. A num-
ber of stacks of hay were on the grounds adjacent,
which were saved. from destruction by the wind blow-
log from the north-east, which carried the flames in an
opposite direction. Notwithstanding its proximity to
the river, the fire w not got under till after two
o'clock this morning, The fire, it is said, originated
is the !cable, and communicating to the adjoining out-
baildings, the whole of them in a short space of time
were levelled with the earth. We have not heard that
any lives were lost, with the exception of a quantity of
pigeons, which, with the house that contained them,
Were 'educed to ashes.
A pcor fellow was f.und dead at Pollard's-hill, near
Horsham, supposed to be occasioned by the hot
weather, and making to., flee with the luxuriant drink
—water, as he was morning from the fair. He was
• r.c.ken to the Cock, Southwater, where the Coroner's
inquest was to be held on Tuesday. He had a small
bundle, which contai,ed a pair of trowsers and two
7.e:kcloths, avid some papers of.a political nature; and
z,:,rcz:,:e in his pocket; but nothing to lead to the least
:Lovcry why he is, or to whom he belongs.

PRIV A 7 Z CORAESPONDENCE.

• • • " nue, Jinx
" Politics at Paris are exceedingly dull at present,
and a universal stagnation has followed the Coronation,
and the fetes which succeeded it. The Chamber of
Peers, and *that of the Deputies 'aie now all quiet ; and
the Minister of Finance is waiting in anxious suspense the
result of their labcur and his own speculations together.
The business of the new system of Renter goes on but
slowly, and no one can as yet tell how it will end. The
New Exchange, though quite finished, is not yet
open

led, and the Bulls and Bears are still obliged to get
on with their business, as well as they can, in their tern-

porary building of deal boards, the inside of which, in
the hot weather which now prevails, is literally a per-
fect oven; and in clamour, noise, and struggling,
makes it :4 striking resemblance to the Black Hole of
Calcutta. Building, throughout Paris, goes on most
prosperously, and the masons and carpenters are all at
full work. Numerous new streets and passages are now

in hand, and the number of the latter Will shortly
render this city one of the most convenient in Europe
for foot passengers, as at present one can walk under
cover nearly a fourth part of the city in some places,
by means of these passages; and fortunate that it is so,
as a more filthy, beastly pl ice, as far as regards the
streets, it is not possible to imagine ; and Paris, which
boasts so much of its police, may, in this one individual
instance, be pronounced the most ill-regulated city
in Europe.
" JULY 19.—The weather in Paris is at present most
intensely hot, and such a season has scarcely ever been
remembered ; nearly a period of twelve weeks has
elapsed since a single drop of rain has fallen, and the
country is absolutely burnt up. The thermometer of

IFahrenheit is now daily as high as 90 degrees, even in
cool parts of the city, and is in many places between
90 and 100 degrees throughout the day. The waters
of the river Seine are extremely low indeed. Many
most melancholy cases of hydrophobia have occurred,
and the police have issued most rigid orders on the
subject of dogs, and have proceeded. to destroy all
those found in the streets which are not muzzled, or
led by a string.
" Generals Count de Segur and Gourgaud have had
a meeting, notwithstanding all the efforts of the police
to prevent it, and both of these Officers have been
wounded. It is supposed by some people that the
matter will not rest here, notwithstanding that the re-
coeds in the affair have decided that the matter ought
not to.proceed any farther. The duel was decided a•la-
Francais , by the sword, and not by pistols."

FRAME-WORK KNIITARS.

The frame-work knitters, who have now been out of
employ nearly fourteen weeks, again' assembled in the
Infirmary-square, Leicester, in large numbers, on Mona
day and Thursday week. Several persons, as usual,
harangued them from a window facing the'Bridewell,
exhorting them, in strong and forcible language, to
rewain firm, as, they said, they must attain their object
if they did so. One of the speakers (Seal) said he had
only that morning (Monday) come from the tread-mill,
where he had been confined a month for what was
called " neglecting his work," but which one Magis-
trate had not considered any offence, under the present
circumstances, and which another Magistrate had ex-
pressed great doubts about. However, there he was,
as determined as ever to support the frame-work knit-
ters' cause. The last words which their friend George
Hort had spoken to him in the Bridewell, were—" Tell
my fellow-workmen outside, that* I care not for six
weeks nor six months tread-milling; I am prepared to
sacrifice even my life in their cause, it it be necessary."
—On Thursday it was notified to the meeting that the
knotted hands were about to strike. The country fine
hose hands, it was also said, having thought, that from
3d. to Is. per dozen should be taken off the statement
for making those articles, and Is. 6.1. per dozen for
narrow clocks, the workmen connected with that branch
residing in Leicester, had Acquiesced in the proposition.,
It was further intimated that a deputation. should go to'
Hinckley and other places, to endeavour to produce a
general turn out of the worsted branch. According to
a hand-bill, which has just appeared, a meeting of the
knotted branch (consisting of 200) took place at the
White Swan,Market-place,Leicester, on Thursday,when
the following, among other resolutions, was agreed to—l
"That all present do from this day suspend their labour,l
and recommend all knotted hands and other branches
of the worsted manufactory, not present, to do the,
same." The warp-loom knots and wide-frame hands
have also ceased working, until the plain-hose men ob-
tain their " statement" prices; so that it should seem
that the turn-out is likely to be more general than ever.
We have been informed, that such is the glut of hosiery
goods in the London market at the present time, for,
Vrant of a demand for them, that the largest hosiery
warehouse in London has upwards of 200 trusses in
their carrier's warehouse, the premises where the busi-
ness is carried on being glutted up from the same cause.
If our information be cot rect, what would have been the
state of the market if the framework-knitters had been
at work during the last three months, instead of being
unemployed, as they have been ?

Monday se'nnight Generals 603SZLYN and Mos-
vaasoa, with a large party of their friends, inspected the works in
the New Dock Yard, at Sheerness, and appeared much pleased
with the progress of this grand national undertaking.
Letters from Maranhao', dated 9th ult. state, the
northern provinces of the Brazils are very unhealthy,
on account of the continuance of excessive drought.
The prices of cotton had advanced greatly, on account
of the rapid rise in England.
THE Caom—All accounts concur as to the rapid
progress the crops are making. In Angus, Meares;
and File, there is every prospect of abundance. Wheat,
in particular, promises to be remarkably productive.
In some parts of Fifeshire, barley is already beginning to
change colour, and will be soon ready for the sickle.
In England and Ireland, fields of barley and wheat
have been cut down a week ago.
The buildings on the east and west sides of the inner
square of the King's-mews, Charing-crost, are to be
pulled down, to make way for the further improve-
ments in that part of the 'metropolis, between Cock:pur-
e street, the new club House, and St. Martin's Church.
