Yesterday the Margravine of ANSPACH arrived at
Dover, from Calais, in the Defence, Capt. ADAMS.

The Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE were ex-
pected at Calais yesterday even.ng.

Yesterday the Austrian, French, and Prussian
AMBASSADORS had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT,
at Carlton House.

1 The SPEAKER of the House of Commons has a very
severe cold and hoarseness ; but the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman remained in the Chair last night, till all the
business of the evening had been gone through.
Yesterday the Grand Anniversary of the Sons of
the Clergy was held at the Cathedral of St. Paul's ;
above twohundred vocal and instrumental Performers
were engaged. The Cathedral, as usual was very
much crowded. His Royal Highness the Duke of
CUMBERLAND attended as one of the Stewards, as did
the LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs, who went in their
state carriages; the Archbishop of CANTERBURY,
with a number of other Bishops and other Dignitaries,
were present. After the service, they dined at Mer-
chant Taylors' Hall, the LORD MAYOR in the Chair,
when several loyal toasts were drank, and suitable
returns made.

A Grand Selection of Sacred Music was given last
week in Isleworth Church, under the patronage of
the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, the principal vocal
parts of which were sustained by BRAHAM, Mrs. SAL-
MON, Miss STEPHENS, and Mr. BELLAMY.

Marshal General Lord BERESTORD gave a grand
dinner at Lisbon on the 23d ultimo to the Regency
and all the Corps Diplomatique of that place, and the
principal Nobility, it being St. George's Day, in ho-
nour of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT of
ENGLAND ; and in the evening he had the most splen-
did Ball that ever was witnessed in that country.
The Marquis de JUNIILHAC was found drowned a
few days ago, at the Bridge of St. Cloud, near Paris.
Mr. BALCOMB, who landed at Hastings on Teesday
morning, from St. Helena, was taken so extremely
ill immediately on his going on shore, that three phy-
sicians were instantly called in, and were in almost
constant attendance the whole day. Mrs. BALCOMB,
who had previously arrived in this country, with her
son, left town yesterday to attend her husband.
BARBAROUS MURDER.—For some time past the
Excise Officers, in the district of Ennis, in Ireland,
paid different visits to the Commons of Moyree, where
illicit distillation seemed to take its stand and bid de-
fiance to law and civilization. On a late occasion,
some fellows accosted, in the following manner, a Re-
venue Officer and a bailiff, in that quarter: " We know
who gives you information against our stills, and by
(i—d you shall never see Bridget Cullinan alive
again." This declaration was not regarded with any
seriousness, because Bridget Cullinan was totally
unknown to the Officer. However, it appears that
a woman of that name resided in the above neigh-
bourhood, whom these illicit adventurers suspected
for having given information against them—and this
marked victim of foul suspicion was most barbarously
murdered on the night of Wednesday se'unight, and
thrown into a well or pool, where her body was dis-
covered on the following morning !—An Inquest has
been held on the body by THOMAS IzvEns, Esq. Co-
roner, when, after a full investigation of the dreadful
circumstance, the Jury found—" That on the night
of the 13th inst. John Burns, Martin Burns, Thomas
Roughan, Patrick Sullivan, James Sullivan, Michael
O'Connor, and J. Whelan, together with other per-
sons unknown, broke into the house of John Hynes,
of llovree, and thereout dragged Bridget Cullinan,
late of' Moyree, whom they beat and abused in so
savage a manner as to occasion her immediate death,
and after her decease foey conveyed her body to a
pool of water, about five hundred yards from Hynes's
house, into w'nich they threw it."

FORTY-TWO POUNDS.

An Account has begiThiurned to Parliament of
the various sums paid by the Public to the Bank of
England, as a remuneration for receiving the De.
posits or Contributions on Loans raised for the pub-
lic service from the year 1795, to the year 1816, in-
clusive—from which it appearsthat the total sum paid

The establishment of the Transit or Meridian Time
in the Pier-House at Ramsgate, constructed by Lieu-
tenant FRIEND, of the Royal Navy, will be of great
advantage to the neighbourhood, from the strict ac-
curacy with which the apparent time is discovered
thereby, and by means of which the time of that
place is now regulated.
A letter, dated Natchetsches, March 16, mentions
the arrival of LALLEMAND, RIGOU, and the other
French refugees, at Galveston. The letter terms
them an extraordinary assemblage of Frenchmen,
with a large' quantity of warlike stores, as well as
farming tools. Nearly 3000 Negro settlers were ex-
pected shortly ; their ultimate destination is stated to
be beyond the river Grand Tampico.
Mr. MEAD, the American citizen, who has been
impritoned at Cadiz, by the Chamber of Commerce,
on a plea of bankruptcy, (and in whose behalf re-
monstrances were made by the American Govern-
ment), has been released by an Order of FERDINAND,
declaring the whole of the proceedings illegal. This
acknowledgment of course entitles Nlr. Mr AD, who
has been two years in confinement, to pecuniary in-
demnification.
