Mr. sowed concluded lilt short cowrie of Lectures
on Architecture at the Royal Institution on Sodur.
day last, to a most numerous assembly of ladies and
gentlemen. He described with enthusiasm the chase
and elegant beauty of the Greek monuments, and la-
mented the degradation of the beautiful style which
took place after Constantine had, in his ill-judged
spirit of bigotry, determined to efface every dome
erected for the purp.se of heathen worship. Ile ac-
miowledged the aweainspir ng influence and holy ef-
fect of Gothic grandeur in nor churches, but said
neither the Gothic nor any of the mixed modes, to
which we had so many specimens through the Nor-
man alterations, were adapted to genera) ;imposts, or
to other than to situations of romantic locality. He
shewed that the Grecian was even more capable of
tilling the mind with the most lofty sensations, it the
scale corresponded with the magnificent objects in-
tended to be commemorated ; a,nd to sheer how com-
paratively small all our nobleft works of il.is kind
were contrasted with the great monuments of the art
abroad, lie exhibited eXiMpics in co:nparison of the
most noted buildings in England with those of a si
mils kind elsewhere. He concluded will' display-
ing a connected set of drawings nn a most extensive
scale, prepared as the designs for a Senate House,
by order of a Committee of the House of Lords, and
which from their beauty delighted every eye. It
would redound to the honour of the ace and country
if this plan for a Parliament House were carried into
execution.

Saturday an Inquest was held at the Niue Elms,
11.1 t tersea, on the body of J. Bushell, one of the young
men who was drowned on the preceding Sunday,
consequence of the Moat upsettiog in the River. No-
thing fresh transpired, and the Jury, returned a ver-
dict, Accidental Death—at the Sane time reprobat-
ing the conduct of boat-buittlers in letting their boats
without being accompanied by a waterman, the
source of innumerable accidents.

Last week Mr. J. Bownter and S. Canldwell. were
both unfortunately drowned in the river I)crwent,
near Belper bridge. They had been in the water
near an hour washing- some sheep, and had nearly
finished, when one of the flock taking a, wrong direc-
tion in the water, Mr. Bowmer followed with a view
to turn it : unfortunately in the attempt he got out
of his depthiond being unable to swim, lost his life.
His companion hastening to his aid, got into the
same depth, he shared the VIM! fate.

About eight o'clock on Saturday' evening, the 7th
instant, as Mr. HYNKY Vaither, of Northampton, a
dealer in lace, was en his way to Lichfield, he was
stopped on Whittington-heath, about two miles from
Ithat city, by two men, one of whom, flourishing a
large thick blackthot n stick over his head, demanded
his money. he Accordingly delivered them his purse,
containing aboot two pounds in silver. This, lvm-
ever, did •not satisfy the villains, who instantly
knocked him down, and beat him with sticks in so
shocking a manger as nearly to deprive him of life,
and rendered him totally insensible. While in thus
state they riffei.i his pockets of £35 in Flai.k of Eng-
land, Birmingham, and Tamworth• notes. They
likewise robbed him of a small box, containing lace
of the value of upwards of £BO, and gut clear off
with their booty.

We copy the following accounts from the Thalia
Evraiitz Poi of Toes lay list :
" Cork Ittpuner °See, Saturday; Five o'Clock.
Just as our Paper was going to Press, a small
body of people passed our office, drawing a cart with
several bags of meal, which they had seized on one
of the quays, where it was about to be shipped for
Newry or Dublin. Having lodged the meal in the
market, we understand, they retnmed to the vessel,
where the Mayor, High Constable, and several Gen-
tlemen having art ived, the owners consented the re-
mainder should be relinded."
112TDACT OF A LATTER ?ROW CASK, DATSD SUNDAY
EVENING LAST, JUNE 8.

" After having relanded one cargo, and lodged it
in our Meal Market, they repaired to the other vessels
and did the same, the Mayor or Magistracy offering
no hindrance, and the owners, under such circum-
stances, being obliged to consent. They then repaired
to the stores of several merchants and corn dealers,
and bore off whatever was lodged there to the same
depot, with the exception of what was purloined on
the way by those aho would not, or could not, wait
the issue of the ultimate fate oh the grain. They also
visited the stores of other merchants, understanding
that potatoes were lodged there, for the purpose of
shipping to your city or the north ; but it is only jus.
tice to say, that in this they•were misinformed; tor,
though doubtless you have received considerable
quantities from this district, it has been without the'
agency or intervention of the merchants, who have,
to a man, refused to participate in any such transac-
tion. The scenes which I have been describing to
you did sot tetminate till a< late bout last night, near
eleven o'clock, when the people dispersed, no acci-
dent having occurred, or outrage further than I have
mentioned.

" This morning the proceedings were resumed,
'and several potatoe boats at the quay stripped ot their.
cargoes, Otter which the multitude proceeded to Pas-
sage, five miles down the River, where they under-
stood (erroneously I am sure) shipments of potatoes
or grain were going on.
" The City of Dublin was yesterday thrown into
tonsiderakble agitation by a variety of accounts from
Limerick'; the following appeared in an Evening
Paper of last night :
" We regret to state, that some very alarming
riots wok place in Limerick on Saturday last, in
consequence of very large bodies of people assembling
to force the stores of that town, which contained prt
visions. The military were called out, and the Nlayor
of Limerick, accompanied by General O'Loughlin,l
and the Officers of his Staff, made every effort that it
was practicable to use, to restrain the violence which
threatened the demolition of the various places which
appeared to be the object of attack. Argument and
remonstrance were resorted to, and the utmost f.or•
bearance shewn until they became no longs of any
efficacy, and then, the rioters having commenced
their attempts at plunder, the military were ebligesi
to fire, and, as we:understand, two lives fell victims
to this act of lawless turbulence.
Thi north aid the west of Ireland are tranquil.
