We have net, at this late hour, time to describe the
scene. It was use of the most imposing we ever wit•
nem&
To the Address, which was very emphatically pro-
nounced by the Lord Mayor, his Excellency the lord
Lieutenant delivered a reply, [of which the following
is a portion):—
" The splendid appearance of this anmer,us and il-
Instrious Assembly, the rordiality and ardour of your
congratulations, and your generous and affectionate at-
tachment to my Person and tiovernment, constitute such
an addition to my honor and my happinesi, and would
adorn the close of a long and active life with inch
lasting glory, that, if the Assassin he not yet dinarmed,
my personal interest a ould he, that he should strike
now; but my duty to my lied, to my King, and to try
Country, forbids such a wish ; and itere, in your pr.•
Bence, with the most unfeigned sincerity, I join say
humble hope with your fervent *ravers that my life
may be spared for the service of Ireland, adding, ail,
the same earnestness, that if ever it shonld prove inje•
rious or useless to her interest and welfare, it will go
longer be valuable to me. • • • • •

son, I was greatly misisteel by enahy now present, re-
ceiving from you this hoguerable tribute of your ap.
probation, I desire to weed aoion to our Countrymen

" The indignation which the recent outrage- has, ex.
cited in your breasts, is natural and hoectetable.—let
me not be supposed to reprove so just a feeling Wltita,
declare, that having placed the consideration of lidie
transaction in the !sands of the Law, I leave It Wilte.
sacred light of legal justice to discover the origin, pies
Kress. and object of that disastrous attempt.
"So far, however, is my disposition averse from
casting upon the nation the crime of individuals, chit
I consider this event to have called Welt the ttur
character of my country in the most amiable and
vived colours, and this Assembly attests the justice of
my opinion.

my life has been encompassed. nor any which may still'

of may station." • • • •
[His Excellency, says the Dsblive Reciting !Jerold, re.
eeived the Deputation in a manner worthy of the sees.
"ion, and read his answer with remarkable force and
emphasis. At one time his emotion wee se lively es to
aiect his utterance.).
. Among the Deputation we observed his Osseo the
Dike of lasinater, the Earl of Month, Lord Ardee,
XYGenor.Don, and several of one most distinguished fel-
low eitizsus. We observed also. and were happy to set
them, the Most Rev. the WIWI, Arehbiallopid
Hr. Trey, and Dr. Murray: the Coadjutor trelet,e.—
Them venerable men were to fall Caaonicsls and Mor•
their crosses.

in bls bed, at his house at Waltl,amstow. After spend-

of *bleb, in turning the corner out of Greet Queen
Street, unluckily threw chi*n an old man and a child;
an empty cart went over the 'latter, but without &log
any serious injury ; the poor man, we regret to say, was
not so fortunate ; tbe Lord Chancellor's carriage. passing
at the moment ran neer him, and broke one of Ins thighs

of Mr. Davis, nearly opposite whose house the accident
occurred, where every attention was paid him that his

Limo Tsars I—This is a phrase generally used b
seamen to denote a species of marvellous stories with
which they delight to wile away the dreary "
mid-
watch" and to astonish the wondering minds of MO
greewhorna or land lubbers as may happen to be on
board. Amunst these nautical night talcs, the most ats
tonishing is that called " The Merry Dunns of %vela"
This was a vessel of such extraordinary magnitude,
that she has been known to be receiving a cargo of
coals at her bow port in Sunderland harbour, and die-
charging them at the same time out of her stern port
into the coal lighter below Loodentßridge. Stich was
the height of her masts, that a little boy being Het aloft
to clear the pendant, he way so long awending and de-
scending, that when he returned on deck. he was be-
come so old as to he grey headed. Working out of the
Downs, this amazing ship was of such a length, that in
tacking, her flying gib-boom knocked down Calais
steeple, at (be very instant that the tale of her ensign
swept down a flock of sheep off the summit 6f Dover
Cir:f. The following is an
s enumeration of the different
ails set upon her main beginning at the

top-gallant sail, royal,

disturber, heaven poker,
