Seldom has a chief governor of Ireland been to univerfally beloved and refpected by all ranks of people as he who reprefents majesty amongit us; individuals and public bodies contend for opportunities of manifelting the esteem and good opinion they entertain of his grace.-On Wednesday morning last the governors of the bank of Ireland entertained the duke, his amiable duchefs, their family, and fuite, at, a breakfast in the new bank; which at once difplayed the opulence, the tafte, and liberality of that corporation: and on the fame day the grand juries of the city and of the county, who in the preceeding term had had under an act of parliament fat together in great harmony, and at an early hour on Thursday morning the duke and his uite retired, though the rest of the company still remained in great feftivity. and determined to erect a magnificent bridge oppofite the four courts, which in honour of the duke, and to perpetuate his memory in Dublin, they ordered to be called Richmond bridge,' gave a grand entertainment at the Rotunda, to celebrate the nomination. To this entertainment were invited his grace the duke of Richmond and fuite, the Tord high chancellor, the earls of Meath, and Charlemont, the lord mayor, the four judges of the king's bench, fir Edward Littlehales, mr.

The day was uncommonly fine and favourable for a military fpectacle.-About twe o'clock the troops were on their alignment, when his grace the duke of Richmond, dreffed in a fplendid general's uniform, fuperbly mounted, attended by a numerous itaff, &c. entered the ground. His grace was faluted by a difcharge of 21 guns, and a grand falute of prefented arms from the whole line, the extent of which must have exceeded a mile. His grace accompanied by the duchefs, paffed the entire line, faluted by each regiment. On bis grace's paffing the line, he took his station near the centre as poffible, when there were three rounds of 21 guns each fired by the artillery, and in the interval of each round a feu de joie by the whole line, which had a moft admirable effect; after which the whole line cheered, and then broke into open columns, and paffed in ordinary time. When the troops took up their former ground, his excellency uncovered, advanced to the centre, received a falute from the whole, and retired with a falute of 21 guns. -The cavalry formed in the rear of the in fantry, and the yeomanry on the left. lords Meath and Charlemont, at the head of their refpective corps, and the merchants' The houfe of Lennox; long may it flou- cavalry, captain Geale, mustered very ref rish.

Several fongs were fung by fr John Ferns and mr. Grierson, and duets by mr. Spray, and mr. Philipps; the evening was ipent pectably, and looked extremely well. He grace the duchefs of Richmond appeared in the Windfor uniform, accompanied by lady E. Littlehales, and her grace's eldest daughter, lady Mary Lennox. They were in a new fuperb landau, drawn by fix beautiful chefnut horfes. Immediately following was another carriage, drawn by x fine bays, in which were her grace's five younger daughters, who appeared highly delighted with the fcene; a vaft train of carriages followed. After the review her grace, attended by a fquadron of horse, proceeded from the field to the caftle, to hear the ode, in honour of his majesty's birth day.-The levee was attended by all, the principal nobility, the lord chancellor, lord mayor, he judges, and great officers of ftate. Their graces entertained at dinner, at the vice regal lodge, all the generals, field and staff officers, with many of the nobility and perfons of diftinction. 9.] His majesty has been pleased to grant his patent for three additional fellow fhips of trinity college, to be added to the num ber ber of the juniors, which the board have refolved to fill up individually, by one every year in which there is no vacancy.

This day was executed, pursuant to his fentence, Robert Wilfon, alias James Wood, a private in the royal York rangers. On Sunday, the 15th of May, he entered the houfe of Michael Perrin in the vale parish, with an intention to plunder; meeting a defenceless woman of 75 years of age, piously engaged in devotions fuitable to the fabbath, he, in the moft deliberate manner, cut her throat with a razor, and nearly fevered her head from the body. The hipocrify and deception on this mifcreant could only be excelled by the horrid crime for which he fo justly fuffered, Immeiately after his apprehenfion, he requefted the affiitance of a clergyman, and intended, by his apparent contrition, to relax the vigilance of his keepers. But on the evening previons to his execution, having loft all hope of effecting his efcape, he became outrageous, and would have defroyed even the minifters who came to inftruct and confole him. Venting his fury in terms too hocking to relate, he went to the fcaffold, defpifing every religious admonition, and laughing at his awful fituation; fearless and undifimayed, he was launched into eternity; biciding defiance to human laws, and condemning that divine tribunal, before which he was about to appear, with accumulated guilt of a life spent in the perpetration of every fpecies of wickednefs. He had been fentenced to death in England, but having obtained his majesty's pardon, he was removed from the hulks into the Roval York rangers. He was concerned with the notorious Aberfhaw, who he called his father, and repeatedly expreffed his determination to die game, as refolute, as his other affociates in villany and murder.

Our friend T. had provided a retreat at his country house about fix miles diftant, to which we were to remove that very evening, but the form overtook us and stopped our journey; the thunder of the artillery announced the he ginning of the bufinets, and in a few mi nutes after, the whole male population of the city appeared in arms; wherever a French foldier was difcovered he was inftantly cut down or hot; fix of them were put to death under our windows, the fcene* was dreadful beyond defcription; after two or three hours carnage, particularly in our great freet Alcala, a reinforcement of, Frenchmen poured into the town, and in their turn became the affailants; our doors were burft open by the defeated populace, and feven or eight of the inhabitants took refuge under the couches, and in different parts of the houfe; but the French foldiers followed them, and in my prefence they mott unmercifully bayonetted those who had frit entered the room, where I and my children fat fhivering with horror. The prefence of a young French officer protected us, and he had the humanity to continue in the houfe the entire of this fatal day, to which I owe the lives of myself and chidren. All night the inhabitants were forced to illuminate their windows, and 15 dreadful looking fellows took poffeffion of the lower part of the houfe; they foon broke open the cellars which they plundered, nor could the prefence of the friendly! officer I have mentioned prevent them. The following morning was indeed a scene of horror-Almoft every perfon that paffed the treets were stained with blood, and the dead bodies lay in heaps, it was reported, and 1 believe with fome truth, that Murat, the French general, intended to erect fome works outfide the town to batter it to the ground, in revenge for the lives of his foldiers. This however, he abandoned. The next day, when the tumult had a little fubfided. T. and I got fome articles of plate,. and the books of the house, and through the interceffion of our French friend, were fuffered to remove to his refidence ar Ombra, where we now are with the children.

We have endeavoured, in various ways, to call the attention of the public to the perilous crifis at which the country is arrived; and the dangers by which it is furrounded dangers, it may be feared, every day increafing, as the means of repelling them are gradually” and not infenfibly, wearing away; and the difpofition to protract the conteft by which we mantain our indepen. dence, may at laft fink, even in the mot efolute bofoms, under unremitted exhaufti. on and inceffant fatigue. Indeed the fitus ation of the country is faid to have made fo strong an impreffion upon the mind of one, whole rank and ftation both give him a tenfold interest in its welfare, and afford him the molt enlarged opportunities of conduc ing to it, that he has voluntarily retired from his ufual amufements of the turf, and even parted with all the expenfive objects of them; in which, if the report is true, he has not only given his countrymen a teftimony of his virtue, that will not be for. gotten when the danger arrives; but has likewife exhibitted a proof of his judgment in the exercife of that peculiar quality, which the times more imperiouy demand. The unoftentatious filence with which this act has been performed by the heir apparent, is as commendable as the retrenchment itfelf nor fhould we have given it this publicity, but that we think, more of good will accrue to the country by the benefit of the example, than his royal highness can derive; of felf-approving pleafure from the modeft ftealth with which it has been performed. Economy, but more especially in public expenditure, feems at present to conititute the very tenure by which we are to hold our existence as a free ftate, Private It's a known fact, that the principal of a refpectable boarding-school, not many miles diftant from this metropolis, a nas tive of England, and a minister of the ella, blithed church, abfconded, for having been difcovered in acts which difgrace human nature with feveral of the pupils.It is earnetly hoped that parents and guardians will benefit by this intance of wofe than depravity, and not place fo ineftimable a charge as the care of youth, in any man, however fpacious, with whole moral cha racter they are unacquainted.

Very large exports of oats are taking place each week, especially to Glasgow in Scotland; each entry amounts to nearly 700 barrels. This, no doubt, keeps that fpecies of grain at its prefent high rates per barrel, and confequently raises the price of oatmeal per hundred weight. Bonfires on St. John's eve, were originally kept up as a commemoration of defe troying the power of the Danes in this country, as fires had been lighted up on the tops of hills on the 23d of June, as fignais to the Irish to commence their attack on thofe foreign invaders.
