During the, time of Evening Service, at Notre Dame,
a man entered the Chapel des Freres, knelt upon the
steps of the Altar, said his prayers, aid then palling
oit a pistol, shot himself in the bead. Several women
in consequence fainted, and a great alarm provailed.
The suicide was conveyed to the Hospital, where he'
was found to be a Serjeant in the Veteran Cannoniers,
named Lamothe. He died after two days of dreadful
agony, leaving a wife and *roe children. The motive
for the act is not known.
Letters from Canton, of tile 16th April, have been
received, which speak of the situation of affairs there as
tranquil and prosperous. The new Viceroy of Canton
was on very good terms with the English, and filled the
difficult post of mediator between our countrymen and
his own Government with great prudence and mode-
ration. Cotton was at a low price. so as to afford
little profit to those who made it an article of export
from Hindostan to China.
tier Royal Highness the Princess Augusts, is On-
petted to arrive in London on Wednesday next. Mr.
Watkins, her Royal Highness's maitre orkotei at Frog-
mere, has been at Buckingham-house some days mak-
lag preparations for her reception.
An ultra print announced last week, that Sir Thos.
Lawrence bad nearly finished a BRAUTIFOI. likeness of
the King, in his Coronation Robes. This was. no
doubt, giving an additional tint to the plasm, and a
hint at the pointer's courtly attention to the wishes of
the Monarch. It %vete much to be wished that bis Ma-
jesty's Ministers would give such flattering portraits of

Lis subjects.
On Sunday the Doke of Wellington and suite peeved
'through Birmingham on their way to Mr. Littleteo's

EDINBURGH, Nov. 23.—0 n Wednesday the Lord
Proiost, Magistrates, and Council, unanimously agreed
'to present a dutiful and loyal address to his Majesty,
on his safe arrival in Britain, after his late visit
hisdominioas in Ger Many. Oa the same day the
motion formerly made in the Town Council to reduce
the salary of the Lord Provost from 10001. to 8001.
per annum, was again taken into consideration, when
after some discussion it was agreed without a vote,
that the salary in future should be 8001.
STATUS TO TIII DUKE Or Kawr.--Thirteen hltn-
eked pounds it is understood, were subscribed for a
statue to the memory of the Duke of Kent, by philan-
thropic individuals.
Models were submitted to the Committee ; and one
was universally approved of, which is now nearly ready
for public inspection.
The Duke appears in au erect posture. standing in
his robes. underneath which the uniform of a Field
Marshal is conspicuously blended. His Royal High-
ness leans on a pedestal. The right arm reclines
on the bible; the left supports the drapery underneath
theirms of the house of Guelph. The pedestal is com-
posed of a pure block of Aberdeen granite. There
is in the countenance a mingled expressions of august
dignity, pious awe, and chastened ecatacy, which gives;
an air of sublimity to the whole.
No place is as yet fixed upon for its erection : but It
stptoi2d, that the crescent, at the top of Fortiori.
place, will be the spot selected.
A matrimonial alliance is on the tapir., and approach-

Cumin", Nov. 21.--We Can scarcely recollect an
incident of more horrible atrocity since the busing .f
Scullabogue, in the last Irish Rebellion. than that
which occurred on Monday night, at or . near The
Seven Acres," a farm so called, between Thorny Bridge
and Closeen, at the foot of Sliivenamen, in this
county. The place was the residence of a better kind
of farmer sear Shea. who had recently put oat some
under-tenants, at will, as they are called, who held
without lease, by Civil Bill Process, and had poseessed
himself of their lands. For this be was served with a
.notice, that. unless he restored the old occupants; be
should stiffer for it; and being determined to preserve
his property, and to resist the attack with which be
was menaced, he provided himself with fire-arms, in
sufficient number for good defence, and got into his
house two or three neighbours, of resolute character. for
his assistance. These precautions, it seems, were fatally
rendered useless, for, at a late boar on Monday night, he
and his numerous family, consisting in all of eighteen,
diem, women, and children, found the dwelling house
in flames around. them. Shea, the owner, appears to
hive.been the first to burst out on his assailants. but
was instaatly shot, and thrnwn back into the dames
another making a similir attempt shared the same
fate ; and, before the murderers departed, every seal
*ln 'the house was burned to death ! This is the pith
and marrow, as far as we can learn it from an eye wit-
less of the ruins, who bas taken out Mr. Thompson,
the Conner, to bold an inquest on the bodies. The
conflagration, which continued until a late hour mist-
day morning, was seen in various directions, at a long
distance; and one gentleman, asking a countryman,
whom be met on the road, two or three miles from the
'place, what could occasion such a fire, was answered
with perfect meg froid, " Notbine, I suppose, but
satisfaction they are taking for the poor people that
were turned out of their houses t'other day."

CLONMEL, WZIDNEIInAT, NOV. 24:—1% is with feel-
ings of the deepest horror we have to state, that on
Monday night. or early yesterday moraine
. the house
of Mr. Edmond Shea, as opulent farmer, at Ousts.
pish, near Cloneen, befireeifFethard and Mulliitabone,
Barony of Middletbird, in 'this county, and at the
North-west foot of Sltevetaisau mountain, was de-
stroyed by fire, with Named She% his wife, (who ins
supposed to have lain in that unhappy night of an la-
test) five children, a fine young woman who had bees
on a visit at the house, five laboatteg sees, and three
servant maids!!!
We speak of 'the above as natter of het, communi-
cated to us by as eye witness, who saw the bodies yea
terday at noon—he represented them as having scarce-
ly the resemblance of the hums* form. bat seemed ra-
ther like lumps of bog-wood, as they lay sear the door
almost in a cluster, intermixed with the ashes of the,
burned thatch.
It bad been mentioned in town throughout the
whole of yesterday, that nineteen persons suffered, viz.
that Edmond Shea was shot by banditti. in attempting
to escape from the house, and eightees others perished
in the flames ; but it appears there is yet no evidesee
of this. it is mere matter of uncertainty, and we ttast
somewhat exaggerated.
Though we are desirous of confining ourselves as
much as possible to matter of fact, independent of loose
et' idle conjecture, or hearsay, it is just we should
million that scarcely a doubt exists the conflagration
was felonious. and the consomme of a serious attack
by murderous banditti; and we have the isformadou
from persons who were passing near the scene, that
about two yesterday morning they heard several shots,
and soon afterwards saw an omissive ire in the direc-
tion of Clone's, as they were ou their way to Closes&
It appears there sou a jealousy against the Sims
regarding some ground they lately came into posses-
sion of, and it is supposed this was the cause of the
catastrophe ; but of this we know nothing. Of souse
of these facts, we suppose, we shall be better isforesed,
when the result of the Coroner's Inquest is known.
We understand the Inquest will not be held till this day.

A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro, with letters
'So the sth October. One of the lettere, which was,
dated on the day of the sailing of the packet. as-
' seances, that a conspiracy has been discovered to that
city to separate the Brazils from Portugal. tied to esta-
blish an independent Oovernment,auhebead of which
the Prince Regent, with the title of the King of
Brazil, was to be placed. No other letters, however,
by the same conveyancy, contain any hint of such an
occurrence. The Rio Janeiro Bank still contineed tep
experience the pressure caused by the departure of the
King. and the failure of their projected loan in Europe;,
and as a measure of expediency, they bad bated two ,
millions of rein in copper tokens, with which they
were making payments, often in whole bags of copper,
without any proportion of gold and silver. '
The following is an extract from a letter received
from an officer. at Rio Janeiro :

a! Rio JANZIRO, Sam 30.—The English schooner
Samuel arrived here on the 26th inst.. in fourteen
days from the river Plate, bringing certain accounts
of the fall of Lima to the Independent forces under
General San Martin and Lotd Cochrane---an event
viewed by the merchants here of no small importance,
as opening a market for the purchase of British manu-
factures. All the ships lately on this station are roved
Cope Horn, except the Slaney, Capt. Stanhope, which
ship is in the river Plate. The Blossom, 28, Captain
Vernon, and Alacrity, Capt. Hos. Fred. Spencer,
sailed to-day to join Sir T. Hardy, at Valparaiso; the
former arrived, with the Beaver, Capt. MiLean, on the
t2d inst., from the St. Helena station. On the 14th
last. the Aurora frigate, Capt. Henry Prescott, C. 8.,
arrived from England, after a tedieas passage of 47
days from Plymouth, and 34 from Madeira : she re-
mains here, being second in command on the station.
The Doris frigate, Captain T. Graham, arrived some
time before from England. The force collected round
Cape Horn will be, Superb. 74; Creole, Owen, Glen-
dower, Blossom and Conway frigates; Beaver and
AlacritY sloops. The Morgiana, Captain Finlaison, is
lying here, from the coast of Africa. She has sent
bito Bahia a schooner, with 170 slaves on board. All
is quiet at this place, but there appears i great want
of confidence in the present State Managers : and what
Is worse for us, the Portuguese have not any money in
eirculation,and every thing is very dear. The Beaver
sails for Bahia to-morrow. The convict ship Proei-
deuce, with 200 female coOvicts on board, bound to
Botany Bay, is lying bete." P.S. "I open my letter
to say that several expresses have arrived to MerCalk-
Ole houses bore, announcing the fall of Lima. The
packet sails to-morrow."--(Pertamouth paper.)

600 black fellows were down in a crack to clear the

One of his principal Generals was an Irish sergeant

Ambassador (whose principal object is the abolition of
the slave traffic) that 1,200 of his troops. and 2,000
slaves, were on their way to escort him up the coon-
try. There being no carriage conveyances, every
thing is conveyed on men's backs. We had a bullock
sent on board every day ; they sell hero at about a
dollar and a half each, weighing from 300 to 4001 b.
Plenty of poultry, bat !no vegetables ; limes and
men-trees grow wild. In fact, these civil islanders '
gave us every thing we wanted. We ate now fitting
(12th June) at Port Louis for a two month's cruise,
intending to take i trip to the Johanna islands, with
two Madagascar Princes. This friendly island con-
tains upwards of four millions of inhabitants."—(Thid.)
A most serious, accident bad nearly happened along-
side his Majesty's ship Northumberland. in the Med-
way, on Monday last. The fire engine was put in
one of the boats, for the purpose of washing the ship
round, with the boats Wain, and two men and two boys ;
the first Lieutenant layaear, in a small boat. with two
boys to direct. By some neglect, the fire engine
dipped on one side, when'several of the men moving
suddenly over to replace it, the boat filled and disap-
peared, with men mete, /sc. for some seconds. On
coming up, the boys in the small boat threw
their oars to those in the water, which rendered the
boat 'manageable. Fortunately those who could
swim reached the small boat and ship, and were picked
up; two (a man and a boy), unable to swim. still
straggled, and would certainly ban perished, but that
Mr. Hopkins, a midshipman. jumped overboard after,
and saved the man ; and Mr. Meredith, the first Lieu-
Mast, jumped after and secured the boy, whom they
