THE MAIVESS AVLONDONDERST.—On Saturday
evening last, Belfast was honoured with the presence of
no less a personage than the Most Noble the Marquess
of Londoaderry. He drove into town, accompanied
by his nephew, Lord Valletort, and yet strange to tell,
notwithstanding the recent example of the capital,
no • cheers heralded the approach of the mighty
Statesman ! After a short delay, during which tine
his Lordship took some refreshment, his carriage drew
up for his departure, and as he was about to enter it
a cheer was attempted, when instantaneously the ears
of the Noble Marquess were assailed with a most dis-
cordant mixture of hisses, groans, and language not
very courtly, amid which be drove off at a very rapid
pace to Monnt-stewart.—(lriehman.)
All the houses of worship in this town, 'with the
exception, we believe of one, are hung with black, in
testimony of respect to the memory •of our late la-
mented Queen.—(/6id.)
A correspondent of The Irishman says :—Party is
Scotched not Killed.—The reconciliation of parties,
which appears to have taken place to a certain degree
in Dublin from the King's visit, has not reached some
other parts. On the 25:h instant, an inspection of
Yeomanry took place in Lisburn. The Ballinderry
corps marched into town, with a Lieutensut.at their
head, playing the party tune of The Protestant Boys.
A complaint has been sent lot ward to the Chief Secre-
tary, to ascertain whether Government will sanction
such a proceeding. It is fitting that we should know,
whether a reconciliation, which has co,t Ireland so
great a sacrifice of honour, is merely applied to the
ear, though broken to the hope at the caprice of every
subaltern who may please to prolong the vexatious
age of bigotry. Are the benefits of the new era to be
extended to all parts of Ireland, or merely confined to
the immediate presence of the King ?
Dvat.tx New Doces.—A correspondent of the Dub-
lin Morning Post of Thursday says, it is a melan-
choly fact, that such is the depression of trade in this
city, that on the opening of the New Revenue Docks,
on Monday last, the only vessel Mat could 6e procured
ira the harbour, to perform the ceremony of entering
them, teas a pleasure Goat! Query—Would it not
have been better to have distributed the sum of 500,0001.
to the distressed traders and manufacturers, which
would have caused the revival of trade, and consequent-
ly flowed back with interest to Isis Majesty's revenue,
than to have expended as much on the erection of
Docks and Buildings, which, from the foregoing cir-
cumstance, must be perfectly useless:
It is said in a German paper, that in addition to the
other instances of zeal in the cause of the Greeks ma-
nifested its dill'erent parts of Germany, 600 citizens
of Bonn, on the Rhine, have formed a subscription to
aid them, and that more than 200 young men, mostly
students, have enrolled themselves in a corps to pro-
ceed to join them against their Turkish oppressors.
These youths are to be accoutred like our riflemen.
They will proceed to Marseilles, and thence embark
fur time Mores. Prince Emilia! of Ilesse Darmstadt
is said to have declared, that in case the German vo-
lunteers in the cause of Greek independence should de-
sire to be led on by a German Prince, he is ready to
place himself at their head.
Letters from Barcelona, of the ISth ult. say, " The
disorder which has manifested itself here has happily
made no pregress. We enjoy the hest health, not a
single inhabitant has been attacked by the disease, of
which however, we feel the dreadful effects by the to-
tal interruption of commercial business. The return
of deaths in the Lazaretto is 4 out of 22.

Instructions have been given to collectors of As-
sessed Taxes, that the duties in respect of Husbandry
Horses are to be collected for only one quarter of the
present year; and after payment of one-fourth part of
the duties assessed, the Commissioners of the District
will discharge the remainder of the said duties. Per-
sons who have compounded fur the said duties are
also to be relieved in the same manner for three
quarters of this year, being the third year of their
contracts, after payment of one-fourth part of their
duties ; but no part of 5 per cent. duty is to be dis-
charged, which will remain on the charge to be col-
lected when it becomes due.

Elm/Briton, Aco. 3l.—An instance of sterling
honesty was displayed heir on Monday last. A lady
and gentleman, who bad been out at dinner on Sunday,
sent for a hackney coach to take them home. At
night the lady missed a five pound note from her purse;
and recollecting that the had taken a piece of money
from it to pay a chairman who had gone for the coach,
she immediately concluded that the note had been then
pulled out, and blown off by the wind. Un Monday
morning, however, the lady was waited upon by the
coachman, with the missing note, which he had found
on the seat of the coach. He was liberally rewarded
by the lady; and we regret that we have not been fur-
niched with the name of this honest individual, that
we might, to his honour, make it public.
A CACTIOR TO DEALERS IN CORN.—By the Act of
Parliament lately passed far regulating the Importa-
tion and Exportation of Corn, Brain, Meal and Flour,
into and from Ureat Britain, it is required that all
Millers, Maltsters, Factors, Merchants, Clerks, Agents,
and other persons, being dealers in corn, for sale ; or
the sale of Meal, Flour, Malt. or Bread made thereof,
do return, or cause to be returned to the Inspector of
Corn Returns, an account in writing, signed with their
own name, of the amount of each and every parcel of
each respective sort of British Corn, and the price
thereof, and by %that weight or measure the same was
bought by them during the week on the first market
day then next ensuing, and the names of-the
sellers of each of the said parcels respectively; in de-•
fault thereof, sucß dealer is subject to the penalty of
101. Every such Miller, &c. to make a declaration
before a Magistrate, that such return shall be true
and just; and the Inspector nut to receive the returns
finless it shall be satisfactorily proved to him, that the
person or persons tendering the same, shall have made
the said declaration.

The moment that places the Omen in the tomb,
Envelopes the heart of each Briton with gloom ;
'While* and delusion In Erin now ring.
And Pageants divert the light heart of the King.
So passes the glare of a light sunny shower,
No brightness reigns there unless gilded by power,
While Darle, and Co. reign as Tyrants, 'tis clear,
The King must transport 'em, or atop the whole year.

dominions ab.lut the tuit:tlle of the present month

tion as King of Hanover.

Royal Highness to Anspach-house, the seat of the
worthy Baronet, and a royal salute was fired from

Deaay.—There was a public dinner at Derry on
the 12th ult. The day was at once the anniversary
of the birth of the King, and of the opening of
the gates of the City after the memorable seige
in 15:19. The Derry Journal gives the toasts on
the occasion. The list includes no party senti-
meta—being probably the Est document of its
kind, since l6tt9, that was not of an opposite cha-
racter.

The Duke of York was lately on a visit at Compton-
place, the seat of Lord George Cavendish. The dis-
tinguished party on one day took a ride to Headley
Head, and falling in with an officer on the Blockade
Station there, the Duke, among other things asked
him, "if he had made many seizures," to which the
Blockade Commander (but without the most distant
idea that he had the honour of being addressed by the
illustrious Commander iu Chief) ingenuously replied
—l, not many, fur the service had of late been at-
tended by so many vexatious circumstances, that he
now gave himself but little trouble about it," or words
to the same effect. The Duke smiled, and rode on to
view the dangerous promentory which has sent so
many ill-fated mariners to a watery grave.
Di:EL.—Friday se'nnight, a meeting took place at
Rothgar Castle, mar Drblin, between a Mr. ll—n,
and a generatan, who was understood to be his bro-
ther-in-law. Mr. ll—n was seconded by Mr- S—ls;
his opponent, whose name is not known, was seconded
by Mr. 51'L—u Surgeon P—t attended upon the oc-
casion. After exchanging a few shots, and Mr. H.
wounding his antagonist, the matter in dispute was
adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties.

tion, on Monday. Her crew, two men, and a col-
league, who, when the boat was brought to shore, ran
his fist in the face of the Commanding Officer, Lieut.
Boxer, R. N.; are committed to prison.
The great have their luxuries; then why not the
poor their comforts?—On Wednesday morning, during
the rain, a waggoner was driving a team of four horses
on the turnpike road with an umbrella over his head ;
his p4rtner was behind him defended from the wet in
the same manner. We notice this with a smile, purely
on account of the novelty of the thing.—(Brightoe
Herold.)
letters received from Edinburgh say, that Sir Wil-
liam Forbes and Co., the bankers there, have given
notice, that in consequence of money being so plen-
tiful, they can only allow 3i per cent. for deposits ;
and where the sums are small, only 3 per cent.
LYNN, AI:O. 30.—0 n Saturday afternuen a melan-
choly accident occurred in the river Ouse. a little above
this town. Two lads, sailors, and three young girls,
the eldest of the party not eighteen years of age, took
a boat for the purpose of sailing about the harbour
for pleasure. when unfortunately, the lad at the helm
left it in playfullness to take some fruit out of the
apron of one of the girls, the wind blowing rather
fresh at the time, the boat suddenly tacked ro..nd
and upset, when the three girls and one of the boys
were in an instant plunged into the water and were
drowned, no relief being at hand. The other lad,
named Smith, being able to swim a little, recovered
the side of the boat in time to witness the last strug-
gles of his perishing companions, and save himself.
A person on the bank seeing this distressing scene,
gave an alarm, and sent a boat to bring off the sur-
vivor. An inquest sat on the bodies at the White
Swan, West Lyon, on Monday, when a verdict was
returned of—Accidentally Drowned.

statute which indicts a penalty upon persons riding
horses in the public streets fur show, on ; but
the Alderman finding that the men were wholly igno-
rant of the statute, and bad merely gone with their
horses out of the market to avoid the crowd, con-
sidered their conduct not desiring such a punishment
as the law directs, but recommended the complaint to
be withdrawn, and directed the men to be discharged,
on paying the fees and officers expences.
