Yesterday morning, at 11 o'clock, the Earl and Coulitess of Livierpool left town for Bath. WVe shoultl not have mentioned a work entitled " An Historical Fragment," relative to her late Majesty Queen Caroline, ha(l we not foundl some of our cotemporaries in dispute upon its matter. WVe can only say of it, that it is a parccl of absurdity without head or tail; and totally un- deserving of any attention from the public. The King, at the last levee, conferred the honour of Knighthood on Captain G. Augustus Westphall, of the royal navv; P. I,aurie, E:sq., one of the Sheriffs of thcidty of London; and J. Williams, Esq., of the Gothic, Kentish-town. SILKs lVaAVRSa.-The followfing is a copy of Mr. Peel's letter, communicating his MIlajesty's answer to the petition of the Spitalfields WVeavers:-" Sir,-l have had the honour of leying be- fore the King the petition transmitted in your letter to me of this date from the operative Silk W\reavers of Spitalfields and its vicinity, and I am to acquaint veu, and reqtest that you will communicate the same to the petitioners, thathis Najesty cannot, consistently with the advice which he has received ftom his confidential servants, accede to the prayer of the petition, and withhold his assent to the bill relative to the silk trade. But his Alajesty has particularly di. rected me, in making this communication, to observe, that he is very sensible of the uniform loyalty and good condutct of the Weavers of Spitalfields; and that he places the utniost reliance on their assur- ances, that under all circumstances they will remain steady in their attachment to his person, and will continue to set that example of industry and good order for which they have always been conspi- cuousB. " I anm, Sir, your most obedient hum'ile servant, "WNhitelall, April 9,1824. (Signed) " ROBE;RT PEIL. " To Robert Brutton, Esq., &c., &c."1 The bill before the House of Commons, for amen(ling the act respecting the British Mluseum, adds the President of the Society of Antiquaries and the President of the Royal Academy to the number of the official Trustees, and gives power to the Tnistees to purchase and takelands. The name of Mr. Powlett has beea erroneously inserted in the list of the Minority which opposed the grant for building churches. It wvas MIr. Ridley Colborne, and not Colonel Beaumont, who, in the debate on Friday, on the subject of the Angetstein collection of pictures, suggested the building a gaUery on the site of Marlborough-house, when the lease expired. An useful little work, cailed The Italian Interpreter, h'as been lately published. It contains well-arranged and copious conversations on various subjects,and will prove an excellent travel- ling companion. The jlfanchester Guardi'an of Saturday says-." Yester- day the celebrated Mfr. Brougham made his professionaldcbit in this tovn, as counsel for the Mancbester and Salford Water Works Company, in. a question between them and Mr. Grimshaw, of Gor- ton, at to the value of a plot of ground belonging to the latter gentle- man, in that township; fer wiom MIr. Williams was advocate. At 11 o'clock last night, the jury returned their verdict-Damages, 1,7801." IRELANID.-Mona OUTRtAGES.-Scarcely a post arrives without furnishing us wiEh additional instances of outrage and vio- lence arising from the same fertile'source-the detennined dictation of a set of lawless conspirators ta the landlord, as to the manage. ment and disposal of his own individual property. The tling is daily assuming a more extensive and more alarmizig shape, in spite of the activity which, as we are told so confidently by the Castle prints, is exerted by the Executive Government for its suppression. The particulars we ihve now to announce have been received through a most respectable channel, and one upon which the utmost reliance nmay be placed. On Sunday night last, within two and three miles of the town of Trim, in the county of MIeath, no less than nine houses were destroved upon one townland, by the diabolical act of vile incendiaries. 'They were farm-houses, whose tenants had been evicted for non-payment of rent, and the landlord had smice been at considerable expense in renairing and thatching, for the reception of a new tenantry, who were ready to move into the occupancy in the course of the present week. These arrangements were, however, prevented, end a valuable property totallv ruined, by the lawless system above alluded to. Near the Cross keys, in thesame county, a man named Cassidy, who is considered a wealthy farmer, on the same night had his house plundered of every article of value by & band of desperate ruffians4 who even carried off' the bacon from his kitchen and drove before them the pigs from his farm-yard. Cas- sidy, when he thought the banditti were at suffident distance, at- tempted, by another road, to make his way, unobserved, to thepo- lice stationed at no great distance from his house. He, however, failed in his design, for the villains discovered him, and after beating him so barbarously that but slight hopes are entertained forhis life, they eventuaUv maide off in quiet posse66ion of his property.-D,ab. jin Star, April 8. DE'ltsNPOnT.-We have been: itformedI that our good neighbduirs of the above tow;n have, within these fewr days past, beetn brought acquainted with the tri)fing expense arising from fees, &k to the various officers, iatonsequence of their new aming their ,town, and which anounts to the, moderate sum of 3,500L ! bThl4.9. indeed, as Poor Richard saZs; "jipayirg d.Iat for their whistle"av DttQIMI,ic Prech'oldcr. . iGTiNOA, March 24.-A decree of the Couincil of State.

ELozaiwr.Extactof leterfrom Brussels, dated April 0:.-. A most extraordinary circumstance has occurred here, u'Which will afford conversation for a month to come. 11liss B-.g11..ri, the dausghter and sole heiress off a deceased Baronet, eloped yesterday morningt from the house of her mother, Lady B-.-gh-n, in thie Rue Itoyals. Not a trace of the fair fugitive has yet been discovered, nor has she left the slightest clue which m ight lead to a knowledge of wbere she is gonse f6; It is supposed, however, that Mlr. T. R-Ti, who is also mifssingi has been thc companion of her flight. She is only lii years of age. tler for- tone is considerable, amounting, it is said, to 80,0001. WVe do not know whether she is a Ward ef Chancery if shie be, her elopemient will, no doubt, give employment to the gentlemen of the longrobe."1 On Wednesday morning, the 7th inst., a "1Mr. Tr. Rtobini- son, of London," according to hiis card, arrived in this citv, on his way to Gretna-green, withi a handsomie young English klay, of high connexion and great fortune, with whiom he eloped, it is isaid, from Brussels, where she was residing i, but her name was stu- diously~ concealed. Th%ey were miarried at Gretna in the usu-al sumimary form, returned to the Bstsh-inn here, and remained till yesterday mnorning (Friday. the 9th inst.), when they vet out for London, having taker. the whole of the inside of the mail-coach to themoselves&-.Carlisle Patriot. A striking instance of the affectioni in the brute ercation to their offsnring was exhibited on Mfonday by a hitch fox, which was forcedl itrem a suiff (within the limits ef Sir Beliiggham Gra- ham's Hunt), and boltedi with a cub in her mnouth before Sir R. Puleston's hounds. The pack were immediately laid on, but the humanity of the hounds, or want of sc-nt, allowed her to escape from what appearedI inev-itable deathi; andI we need hkardlly addl, to the great satisfaction and delight of jnatv assemnbledi sportsmen. Curto BY THE Kice, OF A HORS'E.-A v-ery extraordi- nary instance of'thiesuddlen recovery of speechi occuirred at Forest- rowv, near Brighiton, the other day. A mnan namned Newmiani, who is horse-keeper to Mlr. hloure, of~ Lewes, had been, dumb for twenty- seven years. About thiree wveeks ago lie received a kick from a horse which he was comibing down, anid was laidl up in consequience for a weekc. Upon leaving his room lie was seized with a severe at- tack of the nerves andI became delirious. He continuied in that con- dition for somne days, and upon recovering his, senses lie returned i m- mediately to Iris 'Id Occupation, but dlid nnt remain long at it whien he was again desperately afflictedl. The third attack was, it seemis, the charm. He appeared in theya,rdlwhierelhechad beenRaccustomed to answer all inquiries as to his hiealth withi a turn of the heaLd, an(I whien his master said "1 Well Dick, hiow are you to dlay 0' " A great deal better, thankl you, master," was the reply, to the astonish- ment of Mr. Hoatre, whoi actually- staggered at thec miiracle. The poor man, we understand, continues, in good healths. The imelancholy case of murdler at Bockleton is alm-ost the exclusive topic 'of conversation in that part of tlie counitv. WVe hiave little to add to the particulars respecting it which we ga~ve last week. It appears that the deceased enteredl into the service of' Ars. Halfpenny, at Bran,yrdl Mav, fair, in 1821, anid that she died on thle morning of Sund ay, thbe 927thi ult., from (as it is alleged) a series of' cruel treatm-ent on the part of her mistress, hut miore immiediate- lY fromn the efl'ccts of a severe beating she received from her oni the morning urevious, for having remained too long in bed.
