We .naire a rla4 it red 'that Lord CASTLEREAOI
lied been sumptuously entertained by the Sovereige'
and Inhibiianis of Belfast, on the 90th ultimo. In
the course 'Of an aniihated and eloquent speech, after'
dinner, his Lordship made the following interesting
communication respecting BONAPARTE'S sentimentli
KS expressed by him at St. Helena:
" Gentlemen," said his Lordship. " it is oolong,'
a problem or a speculation for curious men, what were
the designs of the Ruler of the French, the enemy
of liberty, and I may say, the enemy of mankind—..l
I say it' is to longer conjecture What his views were
with' espect to us—he has not thought it worth while
to conceal them, but has declared, in his present re-
treat, that in war or in peace, or rather during the
short truces be might perMit us to enjoy, that
although Europe might be at his feet, he con-
sidered he had accomplished nothing while Great
Britain should remain an independent nation
I call uppn yen, therefore, to compare your Com.
mercial situation and resources as they are with what
they might, and most inevitably would have been,.
had the Prince and his Government stooped to any
other measures but such as have been adcpted."
Oh the health of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S venerable
father, the Marquis of LoNIPONDICIIKY, being drank,
that Nobleman addressed the Meeting in the follow.
in-impressive and feeling in:meet
f1:111* Lords and Gentlemen-4 beg leave to re.
tarn you my most sincere thinks for the honour you
have conferred on me, by drinking my health—a
compliment I receive from such a body as are here.
assembled sviith the liveliest gratitude; but oh ! how
shall. I express mysilf—where shall I find words to
give an idea of the pleasufe, the delight which fills
my parental heart at the compliment so large arid so
respectable 'a part of his countrymen have this day
paid to my son ? thereby exhibiting to the empire
their approbation of the part he has performed in the
great and important services, which it pleased his
Prince to entrust hiM ivitfi,• and which,* under Pgo.
VIDENCIIi has led to the pacificition pf Europe.
Gentlemen, as a parent,' permit me lo express
myself, but how insufrcient are words, how impossi-
ble isit for' me to find language to convey the hap.
phial, the pride, the delight I feel. To my GOD I
return my thanks, my grateful thanks, for giving me
such a son, and fur pet milting me to witness such a
day. Oh I I am a blessed and an happy father,
thankful to the ALMIGHTY fora il the blessings he has
showered down upon me !"
" It is impossible (flays the Befut MO: Lefler) to
describe the sensation produced by this speech, it
stridently came from the heart, and as such was
acknowledged and felt by every person piesent; it
indeed called forth a sentiment which Nature has im.
planted in our breasts: whatever we may be in respect
to ourselves, we all *are ambitious in regard to our
children—and every cue seemed to feel, that few in.
dividuals have hid this sentiment more amply grati.
fled than their venerable guest: and we are convinced
that every one present joined in the common wash
that he long might live in ,health and happiness to
enjoy the lustre which the fair fame of his children
has shed over the evening of his days."

We lament to state, that the Irish Newspapers, to
the 2d instant, contain more painful accounts of dis-
orders and murders in that country, than we have
recently received. At Kilkenny, the spirit of insubor.
dination has again become too manifest. At Boyle,
and its vicinity, there is asynem of general outrage;
and, worst of all, there are accounts of several most
horrible assassinations at Ardee, at Costello, and at
FoorMile-Water.

Sunday se'nnight a duel was fought at the Dinan
Bridge, Kilgenny, between J. K. jun. of that town,
and Lieutenant L. of the Queen's County Militia,
attended by their friends. After exchanging shots
without effect, ihe.seconds interfered; and the parties
were reconciled.

A few days since, as Mr. Moores,an eminent apo-
thecary and chemist, of Dublin, was in the act of
making some experiments in his laboratory on hydro.
gen gas, an explosion cook place, by which the wooden
barrel, containing the gas, was forced against his
face, breaking his cheek-bone, and forcing out the
eye. Part of the barrel was forced through the
roof, so that if ,Mr. Moons had been a little nearer
he must have inevitably perished.

She had with her a basket with tea, signs, and butter,

pers.Water Foot for thirty years past. On his return
from Attain on the evening of Sunday se'nnight,
about six o'clock, with two men and a young wo.
man in the boat besidekhimself, the evening being ex-
tremely dark. he mistook the course and ran down
the Scotch instead of the English Channel, and got
ashore upon the sands which part the two Channels,
where he cast anchor, and the passengers took out
their luggage, it is supposed, thinking they were near
Skinburness. Having wandered about in the dark
between the two Channels nearly seven hours, they
could not find their boat ag4in, the tide came up and
they all perished !
Muansn.—On the night of Friday week, about
ten o'clock, a Person of the name of Thomas Hanson
(who had accepted the office of detector of poachers,
upon a certain district of Rumbles Moor, under
WILLIAM &mem" Esq. of Zion. Hill, near Bingley,,
Yorkshire, and had laid soveral informations against
nightly depredators), was shot at by some, person
or
.persons yet unknown, through the kitchen win-
dow of Mr. Lomonotrom, Inn-keeper, Silwen,
while in mixed company. Seven lend and
two iron slugs were extracted from his leg and
thigh. by Mr. SLacac, surgeon, of Cross Hills I, an ala.
baster marble was also filed At the same time, but did
not take effect. He languished in 4reat agony till
Monday morning last, when he expired, in come-
quence of a nuntification. An inquest was held gla
