Oh Pat, Pat Jewel, I me you know all about it, for
your last letter was a stomacher. The new L— M—
is an ens, only a mischievous donkey, or Old Nick
would sot havetemptedialm to make as great a Week-
guard of himself as D— did when the King turned
his back at the Mansion House. Did not all my let-
ters tell you the loyalty of these vagabones was all a
bottle of smoke? For they care no more for the King
than they do for the Queen, nor for any of his family,
ne more than the boys in London do for the D— of
C.—. Their loyalty is vested in their places, their
power and expectations; and they still think some of
the old blackguards at your side will continue to pro-
tect them ; and, be the powers of Pluto, they don't
miscalculate ; for u one vagabone got off with impa-
shy,- after insulting the King and every liberal man
in Ireland, what has this upstart to dread? As the
same clan that advised the pardon of Dello D— ad-
vised theamnissal of Sir Robert Baker, a Magistrate
of the- molt exalted character ; the same advisers
that shut up' the King from his English subjects,
advised the-dismissal of the kayo, the intsepid, the
I able General, Sir Robert Wilson, when the country le'
satisfied that he has left no better officer In the service.
Sir Robert Baker is not a creeping ruffian that would
chuckle to any hypocrite in power. Sir Robert Wil-
son is neither P—p or Paltroon :—he did not raise
himself by Psttycoat or Backstair interest ;—be did
not get his preferment through family connection ;
he was not raised to the Staff by the fall of a brother
officer ; it was by the weight of his purse, and his
bravery in the field. But, Sir Robert Wilson loved his
country; lie saw a clan, assisted by perjury, drawn
.up in bilifir'arrili aghast a persecuted, defenceless,
raave wow'; he saw the machinations of this perjury
il, sartsuigreat this noble hearted woman stand up
triumphitTo the Midst of a bold and generous people•
He felt lie spirit of an Englishman, and scorned the
reptiles that spit forth their poisonous slime in vain.
So Pat, my dear boy, this they could not digest ; it
stuck in their stomachs--heaven keep it there. Sir
Robert Wilson never declared war against any woman ;
he never employed a female agent to assist his promo-
tion ; he never flogged the brave soldiers he com-
manded ; he never became a pensioner for his atten-
tion to his parent; he sever used horses and card-
ages, bought sidle the name of another person, to pro-
test them froaa'thia. cloches of the sheriff ; no, Sir
Robett Wilson was a gentleman with a small fortune,
much reduced by the purchases of his Commissions,
and the extra expenses attending au officer, accord-
ing to the gold and silver regulations of the army ;
aad yet this Commission, this rank that cost so much
I slag, so much labour, hardships and danger in the
is to Ise takes away, though nature made him
• man of beam of ihrtstlaa feeling, and undaunted
patriotism. I shall get vexed my dear Pat if I get
any farther, so I'll tura to your Corporation hum-
bugs, and your Lord Am. What most that body be,
who would place • Boethoon in the Civic chair, a fel-
low without talent, . reputation, or any requisite
whatsoever, which, by choiceor otherwise, could claim
the precedency of a pot-house free and easy. Oh, I

forgot—Bad luck to the Crawleys. Amis. Pat jewel,
to think of the low varmint Writing Lord Cloncurry,
with many other noblemen and liberal gentlemen, be-
side Roman Catholics, and offending them, and scoff-
ing at the parting letter of the King.—Ah, Pat,
what's bred in the bone always sticks to the flesh ; and
he that's born to be hanged will never be drowned.
lu troth and soul Pat honey, you said so much in your
last letter, yon have left me nothing to say, if 1
was to talk these three weeks to come; but no matter
about that ; be is an ignorant vagabone, and what
can you expect of a cat but his skin. Only think
of him making the son-In-law of Shemus Achockah
the founder of the British Constitution. What a
brats. as the woman said to her husband, when she
knocked him down ;),why, the donkey forgot that Al-
fred, Williaps the lay John, the Harry., and the Ed-
wards, thitTaiii•ed the Constitution of England, were
all Popishek. D—ls luck to the Orangeman was
amongst them—and was the Established Church heard
of till the last Harry; with his five wives, two of
whom be murdered, and banished the rest—all for the.
cause of religion and cbristian charity. All this the
Civic Donkey knows no more of than a horse does of;
his Pater Nosier, or a Cow of a Holiday; and still
the beast will be exposing his ignorance among de.'
cent people. And did not be know that Shears
Achockah lost hiscrown, because he wanted to impose
en the people and pick their pockets as Aby
Gaby did in the fool's-nap f Poor Shemus had no
clerk to lay the charge to. so be was (arced to put his
foot in his pump, take a short stick in his hand,. and
spew his back. Oh, bad lack to the Crawley*! This
ignoramus don't know that all the tusk-masters that
ever were quartered upon poor unfortunate Ireland,
were most religiously inclined to plunder its natives,
and persecute them after—not forgetting the Pass-
master of 98. So the Mushroom would toast the me-
mory of the Dutchman, the author of the National Debt;
because the nineteen-twentieths of the Irish people have
been tortured, robbed and insulted, by a set of canibalt,
his followers, although in presence of the King, they
never attempted to toast the memory ofhis own father.
Barbarous wretches, not worth pen, ink, and paper ;
but as I have begun, luck and grace to me, Pat,
but I will turn their inside out, for the information
of the honest boys at your side ; glory to them, and
may they always keep the upper head of their enemies.
Oh! oh, master Pat, you forgot what the English
papershave reminded me of ; besides, there is a Delt!o
here, who gets a paper from your side, free gratis, for
nothing at all, at all. They call it the Slop-tub; b•
was telling B. C., whom he thinks is a Delso, that his
friends in the gang, I shan't mention names, have
spent most of the subscriptions, and can't get any more,
and that Lord Noodle, the swaddler, from Poors-court,
won't give another copper. He said they are a set of
phnidetire....without honor—without principle-4nd

MURTHOUGH O'BLANEY.

MURDER.

On Thursday evening, about ten o'clock, a
man named Sayard, a shoemaker, residing at Bam-
ford, in Essex, was apprehended at the Castle
public-
house, at Gravesend, charged with having stabbed a
person named Ballard, and who died the followieg
day, in consequence of the wounds be had received.
An inquest was held on Friday, and a verdict of
" Wilful Murder" was returned against the prisoner.
'Onlffitarday as examination took place at the Town-
Hall, Gravesend,
Deborah Smith, of Shadwell. Essex, deposed, .that
on Wednesday last she went to Rumford statute fair,
and when in the market-place. where the fair is held,
she was accosted by Daniel Sayard, the prisoner, who,
after asking her how she did, inquired whether she
had received any letters from him ? She answered
"No ;" (she had received one, but did not wish him to
know it.) He then asked at what time she was going
home ; to which she replied" it was of no conseqaence
to him." She then left him, but he followed so
las to keep her in view during the whole
day
I She was with a party of friends, and met with:
the deceased about four o'clock; she went with
the party to the Rising San to get some refreshment.
it being the last public-house on their way homeward.
They left there soon after eight o'clock, and she wail:-
rod arm-in-arm with the deceased. When they came
to a four vent way, and while she was wishing the
party good night, Sayard brushed by her and the de-
ceased, and took the road that led to her home. When
she and Ballaid bad proceeded about a quarter of a
mile, the prisoner seised her by the arm, at the
same time saying he wished to speak whit
bet. The witness said " she had nothing to say to
him, for she had done with him." He still pressed
her, and by Ballard's advice she went to him. His
object was to persuade witness to walk with bins.
which she refused, whereupon he grossly abuse..)
her, and Ballard, seising him by the collar, toil
hint he should not use her so. A fight then com-
menced between the prisoner and deceased, when
Ballard knocked Sayard down ; in. a second round
they fell together, and on dais!: the deceased knock-

der !" Tae inhabitants of the cottage caide and as-
sisted Ballard into their house; at the same time
Sayard was standing in sight, and witness estelai
" that is the villain who has murdered him," and he
immediately ran away. The cottager' not Isavin
room for the deceased, he was removed in a cart IJ
a neighbouring public-house, where he lingered its
the most excruciating agony till Thursday eveniat,
six o'clock, when he expired.
Ots Sunday, Sayard was removed from Gravesend
to Chelmsford gaol. At his examination on Satur•
day he appeared much affected at the sight of De-
borah Smith, for whom he is said to have formed
an attachment—(Km/seater Gazette.)

most violent gale of whit', perhaps ever known, via>
experienced at Appledore, in this county. I t

CURRENTS op TIN Ocsart.—.Extract from the
Agents to Lloyd's at Boulogne, dated Oct. 5.
" We beg to enclose a paper which has just been
delivered to us in a bottle picked up this morning at
ten o'clock, on the shore at Dannes, between this port
and Estaples:—
" The merchant ship Sir Joseph Banks, John Wil-
liams, commander. At sea, Monday, July 16, 1821,
in lat. 49 deg. 11 min. 16 sec. N.; and longitude, by
chronometer at noon, 11 deg. 27 min. 36 sec. west of
Greenwich ; being calm weather, threw this bottle
overboard for the purpose (if ever found) of ascertain-
ing the current about the entrance of the English
Channel. Whoever finds Ibis will be good enough
to acknowledge it in some public manner.'
" item.—The Sir Joseph Banks arrived in the
river July 23, from Jamaica."
54 P—, aged 22, son of a general officer who
lost his life in the Russian campaign, and c'erst
to an attorney at Sarregne-mines, paid his adtlresses to
the daughter of the Sieur la—, tobacconist. The
young lady perceiving obstacles to their union, re-
quested her lover to discontinue his visits. Three days
after, between 8 and 9 in the evening, M. P. waited on
her, armed with two pistols. He hail no sooner sa-
tared the room than be fired at her with one pistol, and
blew out his own brains with the other. The pistol
he bad reserved for himself was leaded with two whole
lballs, and the other two cut in quarters. The, youeg
woman had strength enough left to open the window
and cry for assistance. The ball entered ender her
light grin, came out at the opposite side of her body,
and damaged a table against which she was leaning.
Next day she was still living, and there were hopes of
saving her.--(Paris paper.)
