The Rpecitil Commieslon in Limerick,is adjourned to
the 12111 of January. The Solicitor-General, in moving
th•all;ournment, made a very eloquent and masterly
addresi to the Court and the public. We would
recommend to the Gentlemen of the county of Lime-
rek to have it panted and circulated through the
cams y t indeed, we think it-should be generally circn-
Wed theaugh the South of tivelvd; it should be ad-
d coed to the people from the Altar. The folly, as well
as the Mirthless, of these Arkanciations could not be
more (orcittly put, than by reminding the Peasantry of
t ttfaiture of all cornier efforts; of theirs, and of the ire°.
giThlons death which all the 'Anders suffered since the

There is no lover of blaVountrY who will not applaud
this determination pacts*, part if the Government. To
its, who are opposed in principle to the Insurrection
/Pict, iltis determination is particularly agreeable. It
*ill, we have op ;doubt, supersede the necessity of hay-
log recourse ti• Wit unconstitutional measure. The
Commission wiWepeedily, we firmly believe; work out
its object. Not only is the County of Limerick com-
paratively tranquil, hut by accounts from Kerry, it
apps a.e, that the deluded Peasantry are surrendering
their arms to the Magistrates. Dr. Church, one of the
most active Magistrate!, and one of the hest men in
the County of Kerry, proceeded to a certain place,
about ten miles from Listowel, and bordering on the
County of Limerick, where fifteen stand of arms were
delivered to hint, accompanied by the compliments of
Captain Rock. The particulars of this curious and
gratifying scene we shall lay before the public, on
Thurstlay.
There has been a meeting at Ballinhassig, in the
county of Cork, consisting- of certain half-pay officers
and others. '1 he district is quiet, and has never been
oivturhed ; and yet a memorial was sent to the Lord
Lieutenant, requesting his Excellency to embody the
militia, and proclaim the Insurrection Act. Gentle-
• men, you ;ire too late—the Special Commission in Li-
merick has already proved what the ordinary tribunals
are able to accomplish. Its another month, all the
cowry will he at peace, without either the Insurrec-
ton Act, or the embodying of the militia.
Some outrages have occurred in Limerick and
Cork, but they are not of a nature particularly for-

Dustim, Dec. 24.—The Members of the Corpora-
t on went up to the Castle, in their Robes, this day, at
*lts o'clock, to present their Address to Lord Talbot.
His Excellency was pleased to confer the honour of
Knighthood on the Sheriffs.
His Excellency received the Aldermen of Skinner's
Alley, at three o'clock, when they presented their
Address!
The Sessions Grand Jury has also voted an Ad-
dress, which was received immediately after that of
tie Corporation.
General Sir Colin Campbell is appointed Chamber-
lain to his Excellency the new Vieeroy of Ireland.
norrixo LIMIT SEfIP.-Daring the dreadful gale
of Thursday night last, the Light Ship, that was moor-
ed at the Kish Bank was forced from her anchorage,

board ten men. Considerable apprvbensions were en-
t •rtaked for her safety ; but It e are happy to state her
being safe at Holyhead, where she arrived on Friday
evening.—(Doblig. Mercantile Adeertieer.)
There are at this time employed in the manufactory
of Mr. Best, at Norton-under-Hamden. in Somerset-

man in the year 1767, and whose united ages at this

Mr. Holmes, the Sub-Dean, is appointed to the reading,

occasion. The Congregation will he admitted by
tickets, and it is reported that already applications have
been made for ten times as many sittings as the Chapel
will afford.
Sir Benjamin Bloomfield departed fur London on
Monday; and, with Lady Bloomfield and family, is daily
expected to return.
In this county (particularly in the Eastern part of it),
the farmers are in a deplorable condition. Several of
them, who rented large portions of land, and who have
been reputed wealthy, have, within these few weeks,
failed to an immense amount ; one, it is said, for 20,000/.
A second meeting of the Agriculturists of Sussex, will
shortly
take place.
Groyne, at Black Rock Bottom, we regret to
learn, has been so assailed by the late heavy seas, that lit-
tle hope exists of its being able long to withstand further.
attacks. The outer part of the work is nearly rendered
useless. The failure of this project will, we rear, entail
a heavy loss upon the town. Several other of our groynes ,
have been seriously injured by the excessive violence of
the present South Basterly gale.
We still have a continuance of dreadfully tempestuous
weather, and it now blows with iucreaselfury from thel,
S. E. with torrents of rain. The damage done at sea
must be incalculable ; and we cannot look at the loss of
valuable lives, and the miseries brought on thousands of
deserving families in eteneeqoaaco, without ehadderiog
we understated; that upwards of one hundred ships have,
been toot since the I a of December, belonging to the Port
of LOndon alone; and damages in proportion have been I
sustained by the shipping interest throughout the
kingdom.
No collier has been able to come on our beach for up-
wards of two months. The valuable acquisition of Shore-
ham harbour now becomes manifest, and has been the
means of preserving much valuable property and many
lives, during the present weather, in securing a side
shelter for our hardy tars to run to in gales from the
Southward. Most of the harbours-have been blocked up,
Dover in particular. This inconvenience has been little
felt at Shoreham. It is expected, that when the present
improvements are completed, that it will rank as one of
the finest harbours in the Channel.
We regret to find that coals are getting exceedingly
scarce in this town ; unless the wind should shortly shift,
Lewes and other places will become completely exhausted.
A very high flood, on Tuesday, inundated all the
low lands near Lewes. The water has not been known
to be so high at Uckfield and other places for many
years.
There has not been a higher flood at Arundel than
at present, since the great one that extended its sweep-
ing havoc to Chichester.
At Bramber, the inhabitants, in consequence of
the flood being nearly br4ast high on the growl-
floors of their houses, are obliged to live in the upper
stories.
A ship's jolly -boat has been driven on shore between
Hove and Shoreham, marked "Good Intent, of Exeter,
William Pearce."
POLICE.—On Monday, Thomas Sargent was com-
mitted to Horsham Gaol for non-payment of a fine of
141. fur having a tub of Geneva in his possession. On
Thursday, G. Jasper, a fisherman, was complained of
by Mr. Chassereau, for demanding parochial aid, in a
most violent manner, and while, too, he was in a state
of intoxication : Jasper, being heartily ashamed of his
conduct, and promising never to repeat the offence,
was, at the desire of Mr. C. let off unpunished.—
A simple, honest-looking rustic complained of his
wife, who, he said, " bad taken up with another
man ;" the woman was present, and reproached her
husband with unkind treatment towards her ; the Ma-
gistrates, of course, could not interfere, which greatly
perplexed the poor fellow, who seemed very anxious
that his rib should be punished a little bit for ber
faithless conduct to him. When the parties left the
Court, the paramour of the woman, who had been wait§
ing without, bore ber off in triumph, she nothing loth.
The feelings of poor Hodge (who appeared uncommonly
fund of his abandoned spouse,) may better be imagined
than described.—Sir D. Scott sat on the Bench each
day.
IIISLANCHOIa CIRCI/MISTANC 6.--a party of ten
with the view of keeping up an old ass-
yeatihsimut,denominated " Tip Teerering," sallied from
Chichester on Monday evening. and pursued
athd
e
route of Hampnett, Westerton, Woodcut, n
Goodwood, and having finished their tuneful round,
they agreed, in order to counteract the effects of
the cold, to run home; when Richard Cooper, aged
13 years, who was hindmost, having fallen in a
ploughed field, was left bebind.—Op search being
made a short time afterwards, be was discovered
lifeless in a field, at Woodcut. The extra beverage
srlsich he had taken, combined with the cold and damp
situation la which be fell, caused his death. Coroner's
verdict—" Died from the inclemency of the weather."
