CovENT-G "mins TilscirrteF..—The Erik was re-
peated lait night at this 'Theatre, and it was received
by an overflowing House with shouts of applause.
It is, indeed, the ne plus ultra of scenic magnificence;
at least, the pageantry connected with Elizabeth's
ascension of the throne of all the Rus,ias surpasses
in apparent cost and multitudinous magnificence all
the mimic coronations that have preceded it.
HAYMARKET.—Mrs. INCUBA C.D.S Comedy of Every
One has his Fault, was revived at this Theatre last
night. TERRY, who is respectable in everything he
undertakes, represented Harmony admirably. In Sir
Robert Bramble we had a new.debutante, Mr. Joust-
aos, from the. Bristol Theatre. He is a lively, and
we may add, at times, a skilful, if not a judicious
performer. OEBERRY'S Solna was in that excellent
humorist's best style. Irwin gave less of occupation
and of eminence to Mr. CONWAY than his talents
deserve. Mrs. PEA RCE as Miss spinster, Mrs. CHAT-
.TERLEY as Lady Eleanor Irwin, and Mrs. TAY:.EURE
as Mrs. Placid, were received with distinguished
marks of approbation. We are happy to see Miss
BOYCE so much improved both in appearance and
manner, since we last vtitnessed her performance at
Drury-Lane. She is as interesting young woman,
and her representation of Miss Wooburn impressed
the audience with much respect for her talents.—The
House was well attended.

At the last Lancashire Annual Sessions, an answer
to an application to Lord SIDNIOUTH for a reimburse-
ment from Government for the erection of temporary
Barracks during the troubles of 1819, was read. The
answer from his Lordship contained a refusal, on his
part, to comply with the demands lithe county !

WORSE AND WORSE.-At the time the Manchester
Cavalry-were in Liverpool, a Gentleman, who is a
most inveterate punster, ivas much annoyed, at a very
late hour one night, by the mewing of cats on the top
of the house ; and, being unable to sleep, he amused
himself by making a string of conundrums, which, if
published, might make good the words of one of our
satirists :

" Sleepless himself, to give his readers sleep !"

cursed cats like the Peterloo heroes ? Answer—Be-

WORSE STILL.—Why is the noted Mr. T. the Gen-
tleman with the pig-tail, who is to be seen every morn-
ing leaping into the sea from the pier-head at Rams-
gate, like the celebrated Dr. DODDRIDGE, author of
the Rise and Progress of Religion on the Soul ?
Answer—Because he is given to Div-in-i-ty.
ST. PAUL'S WEA THERCOCK.—At the Coronation of
Queen MART, in 1553, amongst other pageants and
shews which were exhibited in the city of London, as
the Queen passed from the Tower to Westminster,
was the following singular feat, which is thus de-
scribed by HOLINSHED :—" Then there was one
PETER, a Dutchman, that stood on the weathercocke
of Paule's steeple, holding a streamer in his hand of
five yards long, and waving thereof, stood sometimes
on the one foot, and shooke the other, and then
kneeled on his knees, to the great marvel' of all
people. He had made two scaffolds under him, one
above the crosse, having torches and streamers set on
it, and another over the ball of the crosse, likewise
set with streamers and torches, which could not
burne, the wind was so great. The said PETER had
sixteen pounds thirteen shillings given him by the
C:tie for his costes and paines, and for all his stufft'•I

A large eastern window, which was completely co-
vered, has just been discovered in the Church of All
Saints, Bristol. It is said, by very old people, to have
once contained a most beautiful specimen of ancient
stained glass, but of which not a vestige now remains.
The masonry appears still to be sound ; beneath the
window was discovered an antique altar-piece.
ADROIT SWINDLING.—A German lately achieved
a clever swindling adventure at Lyons. He went to
a magazine of silks, and became a purchaser to the
amount of 10,000 francs (about £400), for which he
tendered a bill of exchange due in five days. The
shopkeeper refused to accept it without previously
authenticating the signature. He therefore accom-
panied the purchaser to the banker, who declared
that the bill was good, and that he would have no
hesitation in honouring it when due. The shopkeeper,
in consequence, surrendered his silks and accepted
the bill, or rather a copy of it, while the adroit sw;n-
diet- ran immediately to the banker with the true one,
and having discounted it, disappeared both with the
money and the goods.
The average prices of Corn are still declining.—
Those for the week, ending on Saturday last, were as
follows:—Wheat, 61s. 4d. (a fall within a fortnight
of 9s. 3d.) Nye, 28s. 4d. Barley, 335. sd. Oats, 21s
11d. Beans, 335. 3d. Peas, 31s. 6d.

Tivistock Fair, on Wednesday se'nnight, was very
full of cattle, and a great deal of business was done.
The sellers complained that the prices offered were
low ; but on a comparison with the prices given at
other fairs-of late, the buyers thought they were ra-
ther on the advance. Cows and calves sold well ;
and, on the whole, a great quantity of cattle were
disposed of.
Saturday se nnight David Watkins, of the Parish
of Lanvrechfa, Monmouthshire, was committed to the
County Jail, by J. H. MoGGRIDGE, Esq. on suspicion
of having taken and carried away a certain house,
hold goods, the property of W. Howell, from his
dwelling-house in Laiivrechfa aforesaid. .Howell is
tenant to Watkins, who, it is supposed, took 'away
the goods of Howell in his absence, and without
notice, ►n order to secure his rent—a most illegal and
oppressive practice not unfrequently resorted to, but
wh►ch it is hoped the example made in this case will
put an effectual stop to. Watkins was subsequently
admitted to bail.

DUBLIN, OCTOBER le.

I%•sterday being Quarter Day, after some routine
business, the thanks ‘,l the Guild were voted, with
an Address and a Gold Box, to Sir A. B. Kis°, Bait.
for his conduct as Lord Mayor, and particularly for
his exertions to carry into elect the benevolent wishes
of his Sovereign for unanimity amongst all classes (f
his Irish subjects. The Baronet expressed his grati-
tude in a handsome speech, and said he would con-
tinue to promote conciliation among all denomina-
tions of his fellow-citizens, by every means that laid
in his power.
Mr. Murata alluded to a report relative to a letter
said to have been received from Lord Sidmouth by
the lion. Baronet, and requested he would he su
Pond as to communicate its contents to the Guild.
Sir A. B. KING said he had no objection to make
it generally known, and again repeated, that he
would have great pleasure in forwarding the views
4f conciliation of his Majesty and his Ministers. The
letter was then read by the clerk, as follows:

" Richmond Park, Oct. 9, 1821.

•. • -
INFAR Sin—l cannot tOrbear congratulating you upon
the complete accomplishment of his Majesty's gracious intentioa
to confer upon you the dignity of a Ilaronet•of the United King-
dom. It was a most fortunate circumstance that, at the perioJ
of his Majesty's visit to Ireland, the high office of Lord Mayor
of Dublin was held by a person of known prudence and disctr.
Lion, who, by a happy union of moderation and firmness, was
enabled, without the surrender or compromise of any principle,
to conciliate the confidence and esteem of all parties. Allow toe
further to express the great pleasure which [ have felt in
no-
ticing your active and, at the late dinner of the Sheriffs, success-
ful endeavour, to promote that liberal forbearance, and that trua
benevolence, which you so constantly observed and practised
whilst in office. It is of the greatest importance to Ireland, and
to the whole Empire, that such an example should be implicitly
followed. Accept my best wishes for your health and happiness,
and believe me to be, with sincere esteem, my dear Sir, your
faithful and obedient servant, " SIDMOUTIL

" To Sir Abraham Bradley King, Bart."
When Sir ABRAHAM B. KING sat down, Mr. Ness
a Member of the Corporation, immediately rose, and
gave notice of a motion for the next Quarter Day, to
grant the Freedom of the Guild to five or six respect-
able merchants of the Roman Catholic persuasion.
The notice was received with mixed applause and
disapprobation. The latter, hOwever, preponderated.
Mr. Ness said, his object being to promote concilia-
tion, he hoped he would not be interrupted; and his
Majesty had given a proof of his respect for the Ca-
tholic Body by granting to Lord Fingal the high
honour of creating him a Knight of St. Patrick—
(Hissing continued). Ile hoped the Guild would for:
low the illustrious and excellent example of their So-
vereign. Mr. Ness concluded by giving notice of his
motion as above on next Quarter Day.

Extract of a private letter, dated Rathkeale,
(County of Limerick), Oct. 14 :
• We are here in the utmost consternation. Mr.
Gores, who has been the Chief of our County of
Limerick police, has been murdered in the most
shocking manner. He had been removed from his.
command within the last week, in consequence of
inefficiency, and replaced by Major STUART. Mr.
Gone° this day rode into the country, as he had been
accustomed to do, and on his return was shot dead
between two and three o'clock in the day! This
town is now in a state of the inmost alarm. All the
arms that were in the possession of our country Gen•
tlemen have been taken by nightly bands, and nearly
two hundred pounds. worth of powder has been
bought and distributed in this county amongst the
disturbers. I send you this information, which will,
probably, be the first received in London. My
brother has just returned from viewing the body of
poor GOING. He was shot within one mile and a
half of this town, and under circumstances of pecu-
liar barbarity. He received nearly fifteen musket
balls, and had his thigh shattered by slugs. • I am
unable to describe the state we are reduced to. I
sleep every night with a brace of pistols loaded at
my bed's side, and a Queen Anne sabre. GOING
went yesterday to Limerick, and dined (on his re-
turn here last night) with Mr. WALLER, from whose
house he was literally dragged, this morning, to the
fatal spot. His murderers were dressed in hite
shirts over their clothes."

The body of John Corneal, who was murdered in
the Barony of kenry, is not yet found, though every
diligent search has been made for it.

CORK, OCTOBER 13.
We regret to learn, that the outrages and atroci-
ties, of which ample details have been given in the
Limerick Papers, are extending to our County in that
vicinity. At a late hour last evening, we receiVed
the following communication from a highly respect-
able quarter:—" On Friday night, the sth instant, a
large body of armed men proceeded at night through
the town of Newmarket, and attacked several houses
in the immediate neighbourhood for arms, in which
they were but too successful, having obtained six fire-
locks and two cases of pistols, from Homan, the
pound-keeper, besides arms at the following houses,
which they forcibly entered, viz.—Messrs. Stannard's,
O'Keefe's, Creagh's, and Waters's, and committed
depredations at other places in the line of their route."
On Wednesday last, at the fair of Five Mile Bridge,
near this city, a desperate affray took place between
two factions, one the Coveneys, otherwise the Gaols,
the other the Colemans, aided by the Harringtons,
one of whom, we understand, was the principal
leader. Several hundreds were engaged at each side,
and both fought with the usual ferocity on such oc-
casions. Many were dangerously, some fatally,
wounded ; and, unfortunately, one man who had no
concern with either, servant to Dr. Daunt, who re-
' sides in the neighbourhood, received a blow from a
stone as he passed, which instantly killed him...-
Surely the Gentry and Magistrates of the vicinity
will exert themselves to secure the principals, and
have them made examples of.

Coax EICIIANCR, MART-LANE, Ocr. 19.—We continue to re.
ceive large supplies of Wheat, but there is no improvement is
the demand, tur only the finest and dryest sampks meet buyers t
all the inferior sorts are only nominal in value, and are unsale-
able. The arrivals of parley this week have been very large,
yet having wore buyers to-day than on 'Monday, there was a
much brisker demand for It, at an advance of I s. per quarter ea
lUonday's prices. (kits are Is. per quarter cheaper, and dull
sale in consequence of the magnitude of the supply. In other
articles there is no alteration.

Surrurnto Al/Limey, Oct. 19.—The Market was plentifully
supplied this morning with all descriptions of Cattle, and the
prices of all kinds of Meat were as follow :
Beef, 3s. Od. to 4s. Od. per stone of nibs.; Mutton, 2s. 64

TO THE GREEKS.

. -

Arise, arise! the time is come,
Ty skies are brightning red;
"fis Glory calls thee from the tomb,
With voice to wake the dead.
No weakness Low, no dull delay.
Fair land of Braece, for thee;
Then rouse thee from thy death-like pall,
The breezes of thy mountains call
To life and liberty
AEd gird thee with tby glittering sword
To cut thyself a way
Through tln•usands of the Turkish horde
To Tyranny's decay;
0 dream not that thy Spirit's fled,
While yet one bosom burns,
And the ashes of the glorious dead,
That nobly fought, and never fled,
Are starting from their urns !
• Unfold thy banners to the breeze,
And marshal every man,
From Ida to the lonian seas,
With Freekloni in the van;
The tyrant's step is faultering now,
The world will smile to see
The standard of the Sultan low,
The Crescent sink beneath the blow
That's levelled by the free !
Albanian from Epirus strand,
Th' lonian from the sea,
The Spartan and Thessalian band
Are burning to be free ;
Mount Athos sees the Cross on high,
Above it's convents wave,
Religion fires the coldest eye,
The night of slav'ry has gone by,
And GOD is with the brave!

Can agcs tame the warrior's arm,
Beside the iEgean Isles?
Can youth's high blood forget to warm
When first it's country smiles?
Oh ! by the thrilling battle-my
That swell'd upon the sea,
When Vict'ry saw with joyful eye
That Athens yet was free,
Think not of ignoble peace,
1:1.41e3th the sword nc'er sbeath'd of yore,
ALd dye thy s:reams with Turkish gore,
For Glory and for Greece!
Aberdeen, Oct. 12, 185 a.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.

Yesterday these Sessions commenced. The Chair-
man (Mr. Coxsr), hi charging the Grand Jury, re-
marked, that although the list of cases was nume-
rous, fret he had reason to believe they would find
nothing out of the ordinary course in the business
which would be submitted to them.
itl‘Carthy, Roebottom, Deane, Hardy, Davis, and
Jones, privates in the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards,
were then put to the bar on a charge of riot in the
Almonry, Westminster, on the 18th June last.
Mr. ADOLPHUS informed the Court that the pri-
soners at the bar had been already tried at the Old
Bailey Sessions upon a charge of murder arising out
of an affray in Westminster on the anniversary of
the battle of Waterloo. One of them (M'Carthy)
had keen found guilty of manslaughter; the rest were
acquitted. As it was not the intention of the Parish,
after the investigation which the subject had already
undergone, to prosecute the matter further, it only
remained for the Court to arraign the prisoners and
discharge them.—This was accordingly done; but
before the prisoners left the bar—
The Cuantssmi said-4d Prisoners, it is better before
you go from this place that your attention should be
called to the gross impropriety of your conduct on
this occasion. Your subsequent behaviour would
lead one almost to suppose, that in the commission
of the crime you had the intention of doing deadly
mischief ; for, sirce your acquittal, you have not only
considered yourselves justified in what you have done,
but you have gone and abused the officers of justice,
who only did their duty, one of whom narrowly
escaped with his life. You all know that you have
since boasted that you gloried in the act, and that
you would rather have died than made any conces-
sion. You hare not been visited with punishment,

and the great lenity shew•n you should be taken in
. proper sense. However you might have been prompted
by a high spirit, yet the danger in which you stood,
and the dread of being again in a similar situation,
should have its full effect upon your minds. Persons
who support the dignity of the military profession,
under whose controul you more immediately are,
feel the necessity of assisting and protecting the officers
of justice, and 1 hope, before you leave this Court, you
will be impressed with the respect due to the laws."
Mr. ALLEY was sorry to hear that the soldiers had,
subsequently to the day of the tumult, acted impro-
perly towards any of the police. There was certainly
nothing in the conduct of the latter throughout the
whole affair to provoke or justify any such attack.
Mr. RAINSFORD, one of the Magistrates from the
Queen-square Police-office, complained in the strongest
terms of the ill-treatment that Cooper of that Office
had received from one of these soldiers : the violence

of the latter had been in the particular instance al-
luded to most intolerable, and might have led to
serious general mischief, had he not promptly inter-
fered, and sent to the Horse Guards for assistance.

Mr. ADOLPHVS said, that nothing could be more
proper than the Chairman's admonition to the sol-
diers, who would, he trusted, profit by it in their fu-
ture conduct. Certainly, nothing could justify any
ill treatment of the police; but, on the other hand,
no treatment could be worse than that endured by
the soldiers, on the day of the occurrence which had
already undergone investigation. They had suf-
fered what soldiers, what men. with flesh and blood,
cotild not bear. Was it to be tolerated that brave
men, who had fought the battles of their country in
time of war, and who. evinced so much loyalty in
time of peace; were to be insulted and abused as
they walked the public streets ?• They deserved from
their country a very different treatment. lie trusted
that soldiers would alwayslemember they were citi-
zens, and had a civic as well as a military obedience
to pay the Authorities of their country. They would,
lie trusted, imitate the high example of their Offi-
cers, than whom there could not be a more high
minded or honourable set of men.
The iiisoners were then discharged.
