We are happy to learn that yesterday's declension
in the price of corn is likely to be followed by a still
further reduction to-morrc.w. A number of vessels
have arrived in the River, laden with corn, and more
are expected this day. The gangs of corn-porters
began to break bulk this morning, and seem all on
the alert. _ _

Every arrangement is making for his MAJerry
leaving town on 'Alonday next, On his visit to his Ha-
uoverian dominions.

When the KING arrived at Brecon, on his way to
the Metropolis, he was informed that four criminals
had been condemned to death. He immediately de-
sired an interview with the Judges (who were then
holding the Assizes), which lasted for a considerable
time, and the result of it was, his MAptsTir's most
gracious respite of their sentences.
Yesterday, their Royal Highnesses the Duke of
YORK and Princess SoPHIA visited his MAJESTY, at
his Palace in Pall-Mall.
Tuesday, the Duke of YORK held a Levee, as Com-
mander-in-Chief, •at his Office in the Horse Guards.
The Earl of DARLINGTON, who had been some
time on the Continent, is now at his princely residence
of Raby Castle, where his Lordship has a select party
of sporting friends.
Ladies LESLIE MELVILLE, Lady CASTLESTUART,
the Dowager Lady Came, Lady E. BRICKENDEN,
General Sir WILLIAM STEWART, and the Honourable
S. UPTON, have joined the distinguished circle at
Tunbridge Wells.
The Officers of the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone,'
gave an elegant ball, on Tuesday evening, at the
Depot,. to the Ladies in the town and neighbourhood,
at which the greater part of the beauty and fashion
were present.
On the night between Wednesday and Thursday
sennight, Mr. Rom= FERGUSON, farmer, at Mon-
boddo, near Lanrencekirk, was thrown from his
horse, and killed on the spot.
Dumf.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a
meeting took place at Coombe Wood, near Wimble-
don, between Captain R—, belonging to a Dragoon
Regiment stationed near London, and Mr. Kam, a
Gentleman well known in the polite circles. The dif-
ference appears to have taken place on Tuesday af-
ternoon, at a tavern in St. James's-street, in conse-
quence of some opinion expressed by the Captain re-
lative to the late pugilistic contest between Randall
and Martin. After firing two shots, the Captain re•
ceived the ball of his antagonist in the right (pistol)
arm. Surgical assistance was immediately procured;
after whicn he was conveyed to his residence, in the
vicinity of Pall-Mall.
FATAL BOXING.--At the Lancaster Assizes, on
Monday, Joseph Rayner was found guilty of killing
Peter Fisher.—The Learned JUDGE, in passing sen-
tence, said that the deceased had certainly borne an
ill-will towards the prisoner, and had actually struck
him first; and, if the battle had been nothing but fair
fighting, he should have deemed a very light punish-
ment sufficient for the offence, but he had, with
deadly weapons (the clogs which he had upon his
feet), brutally kicked the deceased on the breast,
which bad deprived him of life. The prisoner had said,
in his defence, that he had served his Majesty many
years, both in the army and the navy, and that ought
to have taught him what true courage was ; and that
it was unmanly to take advantage of another man
when he was on the ground, and unable to defend
himself, and to inflict such punishment on him as to
occasion his death. He was sentenced to ten months
imprisonment.
SUCCESSFUL RESISTANCE.•••••AbOIIt two o'clock OR
Thursday morning, an armed banditti of forty at-
tucked the house of Mr. ENRIGHT, in the County of,
Kerry, in search of fire-arms. He fired among them
and they fled. They then proceeded to attack the
house of Mr. KITSON, at Galesbridge, who met them
with determined resistance. They set fire to the
thatch of his house, but he kept up a constant dis-
charge on the miscreants as they passed his window,
and being obliged to sally out to save himself and
family from the flames, he attacked them, being
armed with a musket and case of pistols, and pur-
sued, them some distance—he saw them carry off one
dead body, and from the traces of blood, several
others must have been killed or wounded.

The foundation-stone of the new bridge at Wey-
mouth was laid on Monday last, by WILLIAM WIL-
LIAMS, Esq. Provincial Grand Master for the County

the Mayor and Corporation assisted.
