The lutest accounts from Ireland state, that fresh
odtrages bare been c..ramitted by the Rihbontuen in
the county of Roscommon, particularly at Rallinasloe,
where as armed banditti hare made attacks npon se
sPral bonsr. In Wexford, too, there %sere some dis-
turbances during die night of the MI ult.; but the
depredator,' on this occasion seem to have been actuated
only with the hapes of plunder. In one of their at-
tarks they were repulsed, a:►d one of their men was
killed; they, however, ..ontraeil to carry him or, and
thus elude detection.

The representations contained k a letter signed
" A Parisbiotic," and inserted in 'l4 STATEtMA;
on Monday last, we are infortne•i, on the most respect-
able 'whinny, are ffrossly incorrect. We are cer-
tainly most happy in thus being able to contradict the
s'atenicitt, which ronveyed a censure on those indivi-
dnals oho were runrected of rofaning the use of St.
:•epstlehre's church, by letting oitt the leads and win-
d les, a: fire sblllings a bead, to such as were desirous
of a ituessing the execution.

S I Mit or WASIII s:GTOSI.--(Rah lferrh
1;)-- We have latch been tisvoured with a description
of this motchles: statue, this chef d'oarre of the cele-
brated Canoes, which is shortly expected to grace our
State House. The Father of his country appears in a
sitting posture, which is peculiarly susceptible of that
rains and dignilksl expression which belongs to the
%newt patriot, who enjoys repose after a long life of
iiiustrious services. This attitude is happily conceiv-
ed too in relation to the employment in which he is
/ aged. He is occupied in writing with a stiletto (a
at cl pen,) on a tablet, his (crewel address to his
°awry men. It became necessary also, in order to
irrespond with the hail in which the statue is to be
places!, which is of nu extraordinary elevation. Our
is. ru atilt rateseian is ciuthed in the ancient classical
c..siume. The pedestal is ornamented with !shield&
scenes, in basso rrlievo, of the life of this great man ;
and the marble used for the occasion is said to be of
the purest kind. Even the celebrated statues of the
Apollo of Belvidere, and the Venus of Medici, have
their itoeishre, but the statue of Washington, like
Washiottun himself, is aithoet a stain or spot.
COURT or ALDERNISN.—A Court of Alder:nen was
onTuesday held at Ouildball. forthe transaction of pub.
1.: business, which was well attended. Receipts
were directed to be issued for a Common Hall, for the
election of the usual Metre for Midsummer's Day
seat. A Commission from his present Majesty, for
the Coascrvation of the River of Thames and Oaten
et Medway, within the C ity's jurisdiction, having been
obtained, was laid before the Court, whereupon the
Lied Mayor appointed Coons of Conservancy to be
hoiden for Essen and Kent, on the Ittb hist/Int, and
for Santry and Shadiest' oo the let of Jnae nest.
