The Yeomanry Review took place to-day, and was
a beautiful and confoling fight. There were, withnnt
exaggeration. at kali Sow men under arms. His
Excellency, Earl HAILDWICRE, palled the his front
and rea , and the troops marched by him in flow and
quick time, after which he quitted the field, and the
diffo ent reap. filed off on their march home, . It
was a feene would deter rebellion from its purpofe, or
icare it from the field. Oa the entrance and depar-
ture of Lord Hattowicas, the Celli Artillery (a
Yeomanry Corps formed of *the Gentlemen in the
Ordnance Department, and others about the Caine)
fired a fainte of sat guns.

D. M,Craith, Efq. was again examined as an ad.
ditional w•itnefs to prove the fad of infurreition in
the city of Dublin, on the night of the 23d of July
1411.

On his crofs-esamination by Mr. Mg%Tatty, a
circumßance occurred, refpating the mode by
which the witnefs dieted his efcape : a particular
pikeman more attentive to watching his movements
than any of his companions, attrafted his particu-
lar notice—witnefs had fome call and notes about
him, viz. sos. in filver, guinea and half note, alfo a
guinea note, all of which he offered the man to fa-
cilitate his efcape—this propofal the pikeman at fill
rejeded, damning the witnefs, and alledging he did
not want his money—the man at length contented,
and %Ode he was receiving the flyer and notes
from the witnefs held his pike to his breaft, and
took the 'harp end of the pike which had been
forced on the winters, into his hands, fearful, as it
appeared to him, to entruft witnefs with the ufe of it
-1-witnefs at a convenient opportunity, took occafon
to run down John•lireet, near the corn•markct of
Tbensat-lireet, leaving the pike he held with the
pikeman.
To a quellion by Mr. MiNatty, the witnefs re-
marked, that yetlerday he conceived it was only his

lion on the witnefs, relative to we identity of either
of the prifoners.
The tefticoony by Mahar y, was in general fimilar
to his depofitions on the trial of Felix Rourke. But in
addition he identified the prifoner Killen, as the per.
fon who bad piked one of the man whom he law In
Dirty.lane, lying on the ground bleeding and groan-
ing, and the prifoner M'Cann, as the man who fired
a long pißol at another man, whom he law In the
fame ;medicament ; he law Rourke kill a watchman.
On crofs examination by Mr. CURRAN, it came
out, that witnefs had Peen M'Cann before, but had
no acquaintance with him whatever ; knew his hook;
never had any quarrcl with him to his knowledge;
knew a man of the name of Keegan; owed him a
debt which he does not recollea having ever been at*
rafted for a acitba did witocfs over charge brCano

with letting him for (truck Keegan once,
that he was &link at his own hook ; dues not know
what part M'Cann took in the goal-fel ; never profcl.
red any enmity to M'Cann, nor ever laid he would
be revenged of him ; raw the prifoner Kilian at his
own houte frequently; drank finall beer in his.com.
patsy, but did not cultivate any acquaintance with
him ; Kilian kept a fnack bottle, near the corner of
Thomas-ftreet, in which the witnefs fometimes retort-
ed, but never drank any liquor there, except (mall
beer, no other kind having been fold there.
Mr. CURRAN very warmly expreffed the high fenfe
he entertained of the mildnefs and beneficence of the
prefent Government, fo much expiatiated on by the
Learned Gentleman, the Prime Serjeant ; in coming
to the (tatement of his client's defence, he raid, they
mutt from neceMty retort to an alai.

would not permit any one to go out. in conleguttlee
of a noire and firing which were heard outfide ; (he
did not hear the caufe of it, n:ither could the con•
jeettire what it was—heard afterwards it was occa-

THEATRE Rona., DRURTZANE.

This Theatre opened on Ssturday night with the
popular play of Pizarro, the produce of which, it was
announced, was to be appropriated to the Patriotic
Fund at LLOYD'S Coffee-houfe. The houfe.sras very
refpeetably filled, but confidering the canfe in which
the audience was called together, we are forry to ob.
Terre that there was not in the boxes that difplay of
/Alio:In we could have wished to have Peen there.
The Rolla and the Elvira of the evening were with
Pore and Mrs. PowILL ; of the performance of the
former, we had occafson to fpeak towards the clofe of
lalt feafon—it is greatly inferior to that of Kawet.r.
Mrs. PowaLL we think as gold an Mire as any the,
page can boat. In Tome of the latter bills of the Clay
HOLLAND was announced as Alamo; in others the '
name of H. Jorthsroas (new to this theatre)"Aobst
for the charater. The audience esprer:d tome MA,
appointment at the change ; but on its being Rated
that Mr. J. was not pedal, one ;rrpinr,feeiess was .com.
fidered as good as another, and the play was (tarred
to proceed. In the Peruvian High Fria, Duaitows•
from the Cirrus, difplayed great powers of voice, and
Tome automatical improvement Juan at:tor. rJWILL
and BAILITNOSS, as the Ataliia and Pizarro of the
evening, were, as nfual, highly refpeaable. In the
farce (The Prize) there was no novelty ofca(t. Rail
&earwig preceded the &It rife of the curtain, and the
adore and aetreffes were greeted on entering as ufual I
at the commencement of a hafon. The hods has
undergone no decorative alterations.
