COURT or KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, APRIL W.—
This day, Mr. JOSEPH O'DONNELL was sentenced to
nine months imprisonment in Kilmaiuham, for an
offence growing out of the late Contested Election
in the county of Mayo. •
Amongst the working classes of persons in town,
there is great depression and distress ; so little em-
ployment is to he had in some branches of track that
no fewer than 1500 journeymen cabinet-makers have
recently been discharged from the concerns of some
of the principal upholsterers.
At Manchester, and in other manufacturing places,
there is also a great stoppage of trade ; it is sup-
posed that there are, at the former place, not more
than 100 looms now at work.

In the watch-making line, as well as in the silk
trade, vast numbers of industrious persons have be-
come totally destitute, for want of any employ.
BRITI9II INSTITUTIoN.—The PRINCE REGENT yes-
terday visited the British Institution preparatory to
the public exhibition of a number of Dutch and
Flemish pictures. His Royal Highness was received
by the Marquis of STAFFORD and other Directors
and he continued for two hours in the rooms. The
collection is truly rich in the works of RuaEns,
VANDYKE, and REMBRANDT. A well written preface
to the catalogue says, that these fine specimens hare
not been collected for the purpose of amusing the cu-
rious, or of delighting the judicious—but to excite in
the British artist the ardour of emulation. They offer
them to him, not that he may copy, but that be may
study them. The collection is most superb. The
genius of ltueEtts equally rich in , every d!partment
of the art—the delicacy of the portraits of VANDYKE
—the originality and solemn grandeur of REM-
BRANDT, cannot fail to make a lasting impression
on ardent minds.—And the young artist will find In
this Exhibition, together Asith some of the richest
works of the ahose masters, exquisite specimens of
Cu ye, GERARD DoUW,TENIERI, VANDERIELDE, and
others.

Extract of a letter from the British (lead-quarfe►s
in Flanders, April 27.—" The army is to be divided
Into two columns ; the first commanded by the Prince
of ORANGE, the other by Lord HILL. In my nett,
I will let you know the Generals of Divisions and
Brigade., and the regiments that compose them.—
The cavalry is to he commanded by Lord Uanatnue:
the Ist brigade is to consist of the 7tn, 10th, anti
18th Ilusors, the General not appointed ; the 241
brigade, of the I Ith, 1211 t, and 16th, under VAN.
; the-33, of the rat• and 2d Llgtrt German
Dragoons, ami 2d Hussars,. under Colonel DAL.
CEIM ; 441., ISt, and 3d German Hussars, and a regi-
ment of Belgian Hussars, ander General ALTEN ;
Ist Dragoon Guards, Otis Dragoons, and some others,
under Sir WILLIAM PONSONBY ; 13th, 15th, and
23d, under General GRANT; and Life-Guards and
Blues, under O'Laucittuvr. Theseare brigades men.
tinned in orders : there are, besides, about 30,000
Belgians.
NEW PosT•OFFIcE.—The Committee appointed to
examine the intended improvements in the Post-
Office have presented their Report, which has been
printed. They approve the removal of the Post.
Office to St. Martin's-le-Grand, at the same re-
commending a subsidiary office in Lombard-street
or its vicinity, for the convenience of the foreign
Merchants. The expellee of the new hailing is esti-
mated at 150,0001.; the value of the groand, &c.
to be purchased at 205,1621. The Report con-
cludes as follows :—" With regard to the principal
front of all public buildings, it may be observed,
that whenever the proportions are in themselves
ample, the component parts kept upon a large scale,
and the general divisions symmetrically arranged so
as to form one uniform design, together with a due
attention to the breadth of light and shadow to he
produced by the whole, any edifice of considerable
extent can hardly be destitute of character and dig-
nity ; but that ornamental decorations, introduced
for the mere purpose of embellishment, and uncon-
nected with utility, while they prodigiously enhance
the cost, rarely produce au effect; in point of ele-
gance or grandeur, which compensate for it. An
Office for the receiving and delivery of Letters, which
should be concealed behind a front fit for a palace,
and Banked by triumphal arches, would present an
incongruity no less offensive to gond taste, than In.
consistent with rational economy."

A report says, that Mr. RAYmown is likely to be-
come the Lestee of Drury-lane Theatre, when the
present Committee of Managers relinquish their trust.
It appears from Advertisements, that Mr. Josten
LANCASTER was to deliver Two Lectures at the Com-
mercial Rooms in Waterford, one on National Edu-
cation, and the other in support of the Universal
Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Since that Gen-
Herniates arrival there, says the NVaterford Paper,
he has been zealous and indefatigable in visiting the
different Schools, and in communicating to them that
valuable information which has given so much cele-
brity to his name. The l'ubiic, we trust, availed
themselves of the important opportunity which
they were afforded of acquiring a more extensive ac-
quaintance with Mr. LiNcitsTut's system and views,
by which they will be so powerfully aided in pro-
moting that instruction amongst the young which is
the best foundation of morals, and which is so es-
sential to the prosperity and happiness of the social
state. _ _ _
