COUNTY OF CLARE.
• ENNIS, OCT. 29.—Major Warburton toting re-
ceived information, at an early hour yesterday, that's
party of the country people were to assemble, last
night, in the neighbourhood of Six-nille-bridgio, lost
no time in taking measures to defeat their object, what-
soever 'it might have been. He sent for the police
stationed here, who went oat about half-past six its
the evening. Hating given his directions, four of
them were sent in advance, who carne up with the
country people, and, upon challenging them, were in-
stantly fired upon; the police returned the fire, but it
is thought without effect ; after which, those mis-
guided men dispersed in all directions, and, owing to
the darkness of the night, escaped. Mr. IVeldon,
Chief Constable, with a large party of mounted police.
was sent in pursuit towards Limerick. If we way
coedit reports, one of the countrymen has been shot by
this party, but was carried of by his companions.
we understand their declared object was to deprive
the Rosscastle Yeomanry of their arms; and, fur this
purpose, between three atd four hundred persons had
assembled. As a precautionary measure, those arms
are to be collected and deposited in a place of safety.—

Coax, OCT. 27.—0 n Wednesday last, upwards of fifty
convicts were transmitted from the Depot, on Barrack-
hill, to Cove, to be put on board the transports now in
the harbour. They were conveyed down the river in one
of the steam boats. As this party was proceeding through
Barrack-street, the mother of one of them contrived to
baud him two bladders of spirits, which he succeeded in
keeping concealed until he got on board one of the
transports, and on that night he and a companion of his
drank so profusely of this liquid, that one was found
dead the next morning, and the other is in au almost
hopeless state.
FORZOODING.—Now, let the reader closely mark
us. The 4th of November is approaching. On that
flay the Statue of King William is wont to be hung with
party colours. On that day it was used to be dressed by
the Orangemen—shouts are raised, shots are fired, awl
other demonstrations of olefiance and irritation are prac-
tised. The city has been often frighted from her pro-
priety by these exhibitions, and the Government will
recollect this, that the only proof of sincerity which the
bulk of the people demanded from the seditious faction,
is a simple abstinence from those odious demonstrations
of the triumph of a few over the feelings of the many.
They desired to meddle not with their principles, as
they choose to call them, they sought not to eradicate
their prejudices; they only desired that those preju-
dices should not be offensively thrust into their faces; or
that men, at least corporately contemptible, should not
be suffered to hurt their feelings, to revive bitter recol-
lections, or to endanger the peace of the country. This
was all they sought, and this was enjoined by the King
himself.

Now, it was determined, (whether any alteration has
taken place within the last twenty-four hours, we shall I
not say) that the Molten Image in College-green, should
he arrayed in unusual pomp of trapping and colours, on
the 4th of November next. Whether a resolution, with
that view, was passed at the last extraordinary meeting
of the Grand Orange Lodge, the Deputy Grand Master,
Colonel Blacker, in the chair, we shall not say. We
have board, indeed, that the Lodge affect to wash their
hands eat of the forthcoming ceremony. But this shal-
low and silly canning imposes not on a human bring.
As we shall have more to say oc this subject, we shall
have gone for the present ;but we do repeat, that if
tie laa &smell, the Oranzeutest of Dublin, among
whom are many of the Police Magistrates, will wake its
toilet.—(Dedha Paper.)

BRIGHTON, Nov. 2.—The utmost activity prevails
in making the necessary arrangements at the Pavilion
for the reception of hi• Majesty. Several more artil-
lery-waggons, laden with furniture, &c. arrived here
yesterday.

A house at the south gate. Chichester, (perhaps the
best built structure in the city) of true palladium
proportions, and of which Sir Christopher Wren was
the architect, was, on Thursday, knocked down by
the auctioeer, at 2,9604. The fortunate purchaser is
Mr. C. Cooper, merchant, of the Pallant. It had been
a seminary fur young ladies, of the first families in
this man y for upwards of half a century.

Chichester beast-market, on Wednesday. was shun-
dandy supplid, and stock was cheap. Good mutton
fetched 2s. 91 per stone ; beef and mutton are hawked
about at less prices'--In the corn-market 13/. was de-
manded fur prime seed wheat. The quarter.' loaf in
the above city is sow at 9J.

Good potatoes are now to be bought, is almost
any part of thotweald of Sussex, at sd. or 91. per
bushel.

WARD or CRIPPLIOATZ WITRIN.—ID consequence
of the lamented death of Mr. Ed. Heath, one of the
Common Councilmen of the Ward of Cripplegate
Within, a Wartknots was holden yesterday at the
Church of St. Alphage, Ltndon-wall, in compliance
with a requisition numerously and respectably
signed. The Worthy Alderman (Wood) being oat of
town, Mr. Deputy Valiance presided at the meeting.
The Wardutote :toying been duly opened. Mr. J. Child,
of Aldermanbury, ruse to propose Mr. Hugh Herron,
as a fit and proper person to supply the loss which the
Ward had sustained by the 'leach of Mr. Heath, who
was seeontissi kr Mr. iborowrod. Mr. Herron was
Unanimously elected. . _

ANZCDOTZ IN HIGH 1-thse.—A curious anecdote is
told of a Noble Lord just arrived in town. He saw in
a gallery of beauties a portrait of a German lady, and
was so struck with a certain je he rein via, that he
passionately longed to see the original. His parents
bad no peace till they consented to visit the Continent
in search of the adored idea, and they found slut the
unknown, and her connections, were of so amiable a
description, that instant consent was gi►en to the alli-
ance. Proceeding so far that the intended bride was
brought to Paris, to meet the enamoured lover, when
le! the original and thecopy, not pleasing alike, the
fair one was rejected.. Now, whether any steps will
be taken in a Court of law, we know not.

MUkDICE, AND ATTEMPT AT SiTICIDL-A very
deplorable instance of the streets of ungovernable
human passion, occurred last evening, in Bond-st.,
Fell's Point. A mate of a vessel, by name Thomp-
son, had paid his addresses to a young lady, named
rrrilton, and, it was understood they were con-
led. After a conversation with her, as she
eat -mtnisg. he blew out her brains with a pistol,

HAT3IAR NET Tile ITRIL—This Theatre closed last
night for the season. The following Address win
spoken by Mr. 'realty ;
" LADIES AND (iIINTLEMEN—I am depnied by the P o-
prietor, to oiler you the customary return of Li 4 gratrfol
acknowledgements for the liberal support with which
you have seconded his anxious and arduous endeavours
to establish an independent Company in the New Hay
market Theatre.

1t would he tedious to detail to you the numerous '
and peculiar diffirolties of such an undertaking, as well
as the new and increasing obstruction with which this
little Establimihnent, so lon the object of your favour
(and it ;nay alionat be said olyour affection) bas now to
contend.

" Our short Summer privilege gradually encroachel
upon, and each succeeding year made less by the inva-
sion of the Winter Houses, has at length been entirely
taken from us by one of them. Since then the Whiter
Theatres are becoming Summer ones, and are striving
utterly to deprive us of that small port of the year,
which had hitherto been left free to our use, it is hat fur
(indeed it is the only chance we have remaining) that
we, availing ourselves of the full extent of the Royal
License granted to this property, should in return en-
deavour as much as possible to make the Summer
Theatre a II ister one.

" Of the difficulty of this attempt the Proprietor is
fully aware, nevertheless he enters upon the open field
of public competition, prepared to struggle and eneute;
he enters it at present, indeed, with unequal strength,
and surrounded by obstructions—yet is willing to fight
on, until he may at last succeed in establishing a Com-
pany, indepentlntof the larger Theatres, which; throng h
titjiillextent of his license, may haves just awl equal
claim to your support in a Theatre honourably devoted
to all the legitimate purposes of the British lirama.
" Much of the incipient difficulty which attends new
attempts has, of course, been retuoved by the experi-
ment I f the present season, and much of the experience
beneficial to future efforts. has been obtained ; and the
Proprietor desires me to assure you, that with his assns.
his exertions shall gradually increase in every depart-
ment to meet the wishes of an iudulgent public, whom ;1
is equally his ditty, his interest, anti his des re to serve.
" Every alteration or addition, by which the comfort,
the convenience or the dramatic effectiveness of this
theatre can be improved, shall be attended to, and no
exertion on the proprietor's part shall be omitted to en-
courage rising talent, and to secure such of that already
established, that time and opportunity may render ac-
cessible to him.

•• I have now, Ladies and Gentlemen, only to the •
sincere tlaanksof the several Performers, for the liberal
support you have granted them, with which I beg most
cordially to unite my own, and for the present respac'_
fully anti gratefully to bid vou farewell."

From the following statement of the number of 0154
cers attached to the Franklin American 74, it would
appear that the Americans are as attentive to the
manning of their v. ssels. as they are to the increase
of them :—1 Commodore, 9 Lieutenants ! I Sailing
Master, 2 Lieutenants of Marines, I Surgeon, 1 Pur-
ser.] Chaplain, 3 Assistant Sergeons, 2 Master's Mates,
3lidshipmem 11 Cadet ditto-64 Officers alone. •
Application for powers to build a new county Jail
at Norwich is. it appears, to be immediately made to
Parliament. The new Shire-hall is to be placed in
the ditch now appropriated to gardens on the nut side
of the hill, and a subterraneou. passage fur conveyiag
the prisoners from their cells to Hal wil! be tocavated.
The following account of a most melancholy acci-
dent has been communicated to ua by a Correspondent,
who dates his letter quarter pit five yesterday after-
noon, and states that he had that instant arrived in
town rather expeditiously ihrough Dunbar, whoa the
accident alluded to took place, about 20 minutes before
his reaching it :—Dunbar Castle is at this moment a
scene presenting a dreary blank. The amiable Countess
of Lauderdale *batted this life on Wednesday even.
