instant, I will, on Thursday, the 15th day of July next, at the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon of said day, at my Chambers on the Inns quay, Dublin, set up and let to the highest and fairest bidder, that part of the Lands of KNOCKBRACK, situate in the barony of Tyaquin and County of Galway, containing in or about 110 acres, being part of said Minors' Estate, for three years by pending the minority of the Minor, John Burke- Dated 29th June, 1824.
     THOMAS BALL.
     John William Browne, Solicitor for said Minors, 16, Kildare-street, Dublin.

EMPLOYMENT OF THE POOR

     A memorial from this town having been forwarded by James H. Burke, Esq., Mayor, a few days ago, requesting that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant would be graciously pleased to order the commencement of the public works in this county, his Worship the Mayor has received, by this evening's post, a most satisfactory answer. Mr. Gregory in his letter states, that the public sorks will be immediately commenced, the Lord Lieutenant having issued orders to that effect.- This is most gratifying news.

SCARCITY.

     We have been informed this day, by Francis Blake, Esq. of Cregg, that the greatest possible distress prevails in his neighbourhood. We are persuaded that Commisary-General Luscombe, with his characteristic humanity, will afford the miserable sufferers immediate relief.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Yesterday a party of the 5th Dragoon Guards arrived in Galway, and was the bearer, we understand, of some money for the distribution of Mr. Commissary Luscombe. They put up at the Clanricarde Hotel, and on their departure this morning they expressed themselves highly pleased at the accommodation they received- the forage, stabling, &c. being excellent.

     MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - On Friday, Eliza Ledwich, an aged servant, 71 years old, who resides in Marlborough-street, went to take a tea kettle off the fire; when being embarrassed by lameness, and oppressed by age, illness and fatigue, she fell with her head against the grate, and her clothes taking fire, she was burned to death almost immediately. An inquest was held by the Coroner, Alderman Drury Jones, and a Jury of respectable neighbours. Verdict,- "Accidental Death."--Freeman's Journal.

     A subscription is about to be raised for the widow of the Missionary Smith, whose untimely death has been a subject of such just lamentation, both in and out of Parliament.

     The Estate of Peter Holmes, Esq. in the county of Tipperary, including the town of Nenagh, comprising 800 houses, is advertised to be sold for payment of debts.

     EMIGRATION.- The whole number of emigrants that arrived in the United States during the year ending the 30th of September, 1823, from all parts of the world, did not amount to 5,000- National Journal.

THE ARMY

     The "Tenths" are actually and positively coming to Connaught. In our last was announced that they had received orders to replace the 5th in Ballinrobe, Gorg, &c., &c. Is it to teach them to fight that they are sent hither? The Gentlemen of this County, we know, have been celebrated in the annals of duelling; but since the death of the eccentric Major O'S____, who used to frequent our Assemblies with a blunderbuss and a small sword slung over his arm, we did think that their fame in this respect was dying away. We should be sorry to see it revived; but if it should be necessary, there is still a spirit among us that will not brook impertinence; - an arrogant or overweening spirit was never sent to a better school.

MENDICITY ASSOCIATION

     We have frequently taken the liberty of calling the attention of our Fellow-Citizen to the necessity of attempting to do something towards the suppression of mendicity; and we are glad to be able to say, that our calls have not been quite ineffectual-all classes seem to be fully impressed with a conviction of the benefits which would result from it; and very many of the most respectable Traders and Shop-keepers of the Town have assured us of their willingness to contribute largely towards the support. We now submit to our Readers the plan of the Mendicity Association of the Town of Sligo. We have got those of Dublin, London and Newry in our possession; but we prefer this, both because we are informed that it has been eminently successful, and that it appears to us so simple and so well adapted to the situation of this Town, that we think no person who considers it can for a moment doubt of its being successful, if any the slightest pains are taken to carry it into effect. The expence of each individual in the Sligo Institution to the Public does not, we are assured, exceed the sum of 2 1/2d. per diem, so trifling is the cost of so beneficial an Institution. We hope the Summer will not be suffered to pass away without something effectual being done; and we entreat those Gentlemen who are anxious for the good of the Town, or for the introduction of order and industry among the lower classes, to come forward in this business without further delay.
     "The Sligo Mendicity Association is managed by a Committee, according to the following plan:
     "A suitable person is appointed as Clerk and Steward, who resides in the house occupied by the Institution. He is allowed a competent salary, together with fuel and candles. He is required to give security to the amount of £200 for the faithful discharge of his duty, and the value of property entrusted to his care. He also provides the necessary female assistance for the domestic management of the house.
     "No person is admitted to the Institution who has not been resident in the Town at least three years prior to its commencement, or who is able to obtain subsistence otherwise than by begging.
     "All persons admitted shall attend at the house from April 1st to October 1st, at six o'clock in the morning, and continue there till six in the evening from October 1st till April 1st, attendance is required from eight till half-past four.
    "The inmates are employed breaking stones, making mats, spinning coarse yarn and wool, knitting, platting straw, picking oakum, making baskets, or such other labour as is deemed suitable. An hour is allowed from work for breakfast and another for dinner.
     "A pint of oatmeal made into stirabout, and 1 1/2 pint of buttermilk or 3 lbs of potatoes, and 1 1/2 pint of buttermilk or soup, is allowed to each individual at each meal. The soup is made from broken meat collected through this Town.
     "Each adult is allowed 8d. per week to provide lodging, clothing, and other necessaries, not furnished by the Institution. Not more than one individual in a family receives this allowance.
     "The Committee meet regularly at 11 o'clock every Monday in the Institution, and oftener if necessary.
     "Three Members of the Committee are appointed to visit the Institution daily, at meal hours, who register the number of inmates and other observations in a book kept for the purpose.
     "The admission of paupers is entrusted to the visitors for the day in conjunction with the Steward subject to the control of the General Committee. A register of all admissions is kept as per 'Sligo Mendicity Roll Book.'
     "The Institution is supported by annual subscriptions, together with the proceeds of work done by the inmates and other casual contributions.
     "All accounts due by the Institution are laid before the Weekly Committee Meeting, and if approved, are signed by three Members present. No other accounts are paid by the Treasurer. At each Meeting of the Committee the Treasurer produces the vouchers for all sums paid by him during the foregoing week.

MARRIED

     In Harcourt-street, Dublin, Nicholas C. Whyte, Esq. of Loughbrickland, County Down, to Mary, eldest daughter of the late Thomas Seagrave, Esq. of Cabragh, County Dublin.

DIED

     At the Grove, in Tuam, on Sunday, at an advanced age, Mrs. Chevers, relict of the late John Chevers, of Killian, in the County of Galway, Esq.- A lady of the most agreeable and prepossessing manners, and whose unbounded goodness of heart acquired for her the love and esteem of the poor, to whom she was a most generous benefactress.- She was universally known, esteemed, and respected.

PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE

     LIMERICK, JUNE 30 - Last night, three persons who personated policemen, forced their way into the house of Patrick Meara, care-taker, on the lands of Bunlickey, in the liberties of this city, and beat him unmercifully with sticks. He had some time since sworn information against trespassers, which is the only reason that can be assigned.
     On Sunday morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock, four men, two of whom were armed with long pistols, came to the farm-house of Mr. Meade, at Ballyegan, about a quarter of a mile from the military and police station at Liscordan, and searched it for the dairyman, who had fortunately gone to Askeaton; they ordered the woman to quit the employment before night, and on leaving the house, one of them fired a shot. They then went to the house of one M'Donnell, about tow or three fields distant, and gave the servant girl a severe beating with a stick, for having said that she knew the person who, some time since, beat Mr. Meade's woman.
     The fair of Spancil-hill, on Thursday last, was uncommonly crowded; buyers from Dublin and other parts of the country attended-three to four years old heifers sold readily from 3l. to 11l. and a great number purchased. Milch cows maintained their prices. Two year old sheep brought from 27s to 30s. each in large lots and hoggets 25s. Good horses were in great request, and were from 40l. to 60l. all bought up-all other kind of stock also went off at improved prices.

      CORK, JUNE 28 - On Thursday last, a noted character, named Joseph Howard, was apprehended by John Kiely, Esq. of the police establishment, near Kanturk; he formed one of a party who, it will be recollected, attacked the Charter schoolhouse, near Charleville, on a Sunday, while the family were at Church, and having demanded arms, attempted to shoot a servant boy. This fellow was long sought after; and when taken into custody, he said his name was Joseph Meade, and denied any knowledge of Charleville or his ever being there. Accordingly, on the following day, he was sent under a proper escort to the scene of his former outrage, and was fully identified, after which he made a disclosure of the entire transaction.--Constitution.

     WEXFORD, JUNE 23 - On Monday, an altercation took place in a public house at Kilmick, where some of the police were drinking, when a man of hte name of Richard Bennet, of Fearney-hill, in the Barony of Forth, was stabbed in the thigh and belly, of which wound he lies dangerously ill. - Serjeant James Johnson, and James W. Walsh, sub-constable of the police establishment, have been committed to gaol, charged with the assaults.--[ Herald.

     CLONMEL, JUNE 30 - On Friday morning last, two sons of Mr. Fogarty, of Borrisoleigh, went with a party to make a distress on lands in the neighbourhood of Templemore, when they were resisted by Jas. Gorman, the owner of the cattle, who, it seems, was served with a notice not to pay the rents to Mr. Fogarty. In the affray that ensued, we regret to state that one man was shot dead by Phillip Fogarty, who, on seeing him run with a pitchfork at his brother, fired the fatal shot. William Fogarty lies dangerously ill from a wound he received, and in the opinion of the Surgeon who is attending him, cannot be removed to the county gaol, where his brother had been sent. Several on both sides are severely wounded. It is reported that the mother of the unhappy man that lost his life, has become insane. The deceased has left a young wife, en famille, and two children. Two assistants of the Fogartys are also committed to the county gaol.

     SLIGO, JUNE 30 - The following threatening notice was posted on a chapel door near Easky, in this county, and was torn down by one of the police under William Gardiner, Esq:
     "Notice is hereby given to the Landholders of Atingware, any or either of them that proposes for any other man's holding, shall be made a miserable example.---"Signed Captain Rock, under the Grace of God."

     The Very Rev. U. Fitzgerald has been appointed Provost of Ennis for the ensuing year.

STEAM
COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA

    We gave, in our last, an account of a very interesting Meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on this matter, of which men of high rank and talent- namely, the Marquis of Landowne. Mr. Rice, and others, and Mr. Nimmio too, the Government Engineer, took a prominent part.- Of the practicability of the plan the public will judge, and it must derive high sanction from the above names; it must also be obvious that, if practicable, the importance of facilitating the communication with the New World must be of the greatest interest both to Government and the Commercial interests of Great Britain. But what we wish now more particularly to remark, is, that Galway, not Valentia, is unquestionably the Port most suitable on the Western Coast for such communication, should it take place. A noble Bay, without any bar to clog its entrance to the largest vessels-deep, extensive and well sheltered by the islands of Arran, secure of ingress and egress at all hours- a populous town and neighbourhood, with a Trade capable of great increase- the Harbour extending to the very bosom of the Atlantic, yet distant only, one hundred and four miles from Dublin, or less than a day's journey-with a Mail Coach Establishment, a Canal Coach too, and the Grand Canal extending within 30 miles of it, and likely to be continued to Galway-these are some of the advantages possessed by this place. As to Coals, it is will known they are at a cheaper rate then at almost any Port on the Western Coast, for this reason, that the exports of Corn so greatly exceed the imports, that Coals are necessarily brought in large quantities instead of ballast, to cheapen the outward freight of Corn. Hence, at a pound or a guinea a ton, or less, any quantity of Coal would be contracted for and supplied by the merchants here. Neither should we forget the opinion of the late RICHARD KIRWAN, that the County Clare is, in many places, a great land of Coal, and, in point of fact, at this moment a great deal of culm, which is believed usually to be contiguous to, or the superstratum of coal mines, is brought from Malbay to Galway, even in the rude manner of working it at present. In this age of mining, therefore, why should not this attract attention in case of such an arrangement, and be made, perhaps, to supply abundance of fine coals? Would it not, at least, be worth the trial? However, even without this, the advantages of Galway are so obvious beyond any other Port, that they must, even on the map, strike the Committee, and with such men as we have mentioned, fair play cannot be doubted. We are happy to learn the Chamber of Commerce are about to make an immediate and strong representation of this subject. Galway has already, a tried and eminent friend on the Committee in Mr. Spring Rice. We need not observe on the many advantages to this Town of making Galway the point of communication. It would make it a thoroughfare for business-create trade-give life, intelligence, activity, to all our resources- develope our natural advantages- and, aided by the other measures now happily in progress to restore their rights and the management of their own affairs to the people of Galway-would conspire to make the present auspicious time a new era, indeed, here.

PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE

     CARLOW, JULY 8 - The Right Rev. Dr. Doyle and his three curates in the parish of Carlow, and the adjoining parish of Graigue, have voluntarily relinquished the whole of their Sunday collections for two months, that the money may be distributed amongst the indigent poor of these two parishes. This we call real and practical religion, because we know that the whole income of these parishes, did not give any redundancy to the Bishop or his Curates, and they must consequently curtail even their necessary expenses.

     LIMERICK, JULY 7 - The Limerick July fair, held on Monday, was one of the best that was recollected for a length of time, although it was supposed that the fair of Ballingarry would interfere with it. Good milch cows brought from seven to nine guineas; strippers, heifers, and yearlings, proportionate prices; sheep, from 18s. to 25s.- Horses, in good demand, and a great shew of them, from ten guineas up to thirty-twenty guineas were refused for three year old colts-two years old carried from ten to fifteen guineas.
     Sunday, the Right Rev. Dr. M'Mahon, Coadjutor Bishop of Killaloe, attended by  the Right Rev. Dr. Tuohy, examined and confirmed 283 children in the chapel of Castleconnell. After the ceremony, which was very impressive and solemn, the Right Rev. Doctor exhorted them to be submissive to the laws of the land, and to put their trust in the King of Kings, who will never forsake those who repose their confidence in him.
     Several hundred summonses were issued last week, by the Magistrates of Kilmallock, for the recovery of Tithes, some for the sum of six pence!
     Saturday morning, the redoubted Captain Cotter, was lodged in Tralee gaol, charged with the murder of poor Brereton, for which crime four others have already been suffered.
     Major D'Arcy has been appointed Inspector General of the Constabulary force in Limerick and the adjoining Counties.

DOCTOR O'MALEY

     Supposing that the Public are not aware that he professes MIDWIFERY requests to inform them, that being an ACCOUCHEUR of the Royal College, Edinburgh, and having practiced for two Winters at the Lying-in-Hospital there, he can at present devote a proportion of his time to said most useful department.
     The DISEASES of CHILDREN having also engaged a very great part of his attention, and seeing them with regret frequently entrusted to the unscientific treatment of Nurses, or, what is as bad, in the empiricism of untutored experimentalists, he begs to advocate the cause of these helpless little ones; in fact he wishes to impress on the minds of Parents the necessity of timely application to such as are more particularly versed in their Complaints, and by such conduct their tender offspring shall frequently be preserved from the insatiable gripe of premature mortality.-- Galway, 15th July, 1824.

DOCTOR O'MALEY

     From motives of justice, we deem it imperative on us to comment, in some degree, on the pretensions of our Townsman, Doctor O'Maley, as set forth in his advertisement. From the general acknowledgement of his efficiency by the poorer class, as also from the decided impression on the minds of many highly respectable persons who have experienced his assistance, we can soar above the limits of refutation in asserting, that no Medical Man in the sphere of our Community has evinced more general professional acquirement or talent. The favourable result of many dubious Medical and Surgical Cases under his care within the last fifteen months, being well attested, cannot fail in acquiring him the character of a judicious practitioner; and we therefore cannot conclude without mentioning from the most unquestionable authority, that in the accoucheur province none of his contemporaries will be found superior; and, under the auspices of that celebrated College from which erudition has so long emanated, we positively assert that no man can have a greater prospect of extensive practice in this very essential professional department.

MENDICITY ASSOCIATION

     At a Meeting of the Inhabitants held on Friday last, pursuant to notice, (James H. Burke, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,) the following Resolutions were proposed, and unanimously adopted:-
     "1st-Resolved, That the great resort of mendicants to this town, particularly during the Summer months, tends considerably to increase the distress which then especially prevails, has frequently been the source of infections and malignant fever, and must, in whatever point of view it is considered, be deemed an evil of the most alarming nature.
     "2d- Resolved, That until effectual measures to check this evil be adopted, the advantages as a bathing place, which this town possessed, must be over looked, its trade depressed-the best feelings of its inhabitants wounded- their charity abused-and all their exertions to ameliorate the condition of the lower orders, rendered in a great measure fruitless.
     "3d-Resolved. That the best, the surest, and the most humane measure that can be taken, in the establishment of an institution at which every case of genuine distress may be relieved, THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF EMPLOYMENT, in such a manner as to discourage mendicity, without increasing distress.
     "4th - Resolved, Therefore, that an Association for this purpose, be now formed this Association to consist of a President, two Vice Presidents, and such other members as may subscribe one guinea a month or give a donation of ten guineas to the fund for its support.
     "5th-Resolved, That the business of this Association be entirely entrusted to the management of a Committee, consisting of the Mayor, Magistrates and twelve persons, such Committee to be elected annually by the members of the Association, and to be empowered to adopt such regulations, and appoint such Officers with proper salaries, as to them may appear necessary, for the management of the Institution.
     "6th - Resolved, That the Committee be also empowered to fill up every vacancy that may occur in their own body by election, such election to stand good until the next annual day of meeting.
     "7th - Resolved, That his Grace, the Archbishop of Tuam, be respectfully requested to become the President of this Association, and the Very Reverend James Daly, the Very Reverend Edmond Ffrench, our Vice President, for the ensuing year.
      "8th - Resolved, That the following Gentlemen be elected Members of the Committee for the ensuing year.
     "9th - Resolved, That the Clergy of all denominations be requested to cooperate with this Committee by using all their exertions to carry its measures into effect, to induce their respective congregations to do so.
     "10th-Resolved, That confidently relying on the strenuous exertions of the Committee who have this day been appointed, this Meeting do at its rising, adjourn to the first Monday in August, 1824, or such other intermediate day as the Committee may deem necessary to reassemble them.
     "11th-Resolved, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to our worthy and respected Mayor, for his very proper and dignified conduct in the chair."

TERRIBLE ATROCITY - THREE BROTHERS MURDERED

     About eight o'clock on Sunday night last , from fourteen to fifteen of that murderous banditti called the Rockites, attacked a house between Knockgraffon and Outragh, inhabited by five brothers of the name of Kindealy, whom they beat so savagely with sticks and firearms, that two of them died in the course of the night, and a third early next morning; the remaining tow are so severely wounded that their lives are despaired of. The other two are removed-one to the dispensary at Caher, the other to the county infirmary at Cashel. It is said that their skulls are dreadfully fractured-if so, there is very little hope of their recovery. The skulls of these that died were literally beaten into a mummy; and the unhappy survivors have continued speechless ever since. Not satisfied with the deed of murder, the ruffians took away £30 which these unfortunate brother had for the fair of Gracetown, to which they intended to go the next day.

     That noted villain, Daniel Callaghan, was apprehended a few days ago by the Police, for burglary and felony, in the houses of Edmond Lynch and James Egan, in February last. The two Crottys, who were his accomplices in the attack on Egan's house, were hanged at the last Assizes.- Callaghan had part of his ear bitten off by Egan the night of the burglary.

     CLONMEL, JULY 17 - Thursday evening last a man of the name of Edmond Guidra, was brought to the infirmary in Cashel, with his skull severely fractured, one of his legs broken, his body severely wounded, and covered with blood, in consequence of a beating he received from four men, with their faces blackened. This dreadful outrage was perpetrated at so early an hour as four o'clock in the evening, at Templemore, within two miles and a half of Cashel, and three miles of the place where the Kinnealys were murdered. This unhappy man's crime against the murderous Rockites was, that he took the meadowing of part of the lands of Templemore from Thomas Moore, Esq., of Cashel. These ruffians first attacked, with the handles of a pitchfork, a poor man who was working in the same field with Guidra; but on begging of them to spare his life, as he was only a poor laborer, working for his day's hire, they left him and made towards poor Guidra, who, on seeing them approach, pulled off his shoes and stockings, and ran off as fast as he could, but had not gone far when he was overtaken and beat in the savage manner we have related.

McCarthy, gardener, were returning from Ballingarry to Glenwilliam, after distraining some cattle, they were fired at from behind a ditch, but fortunately received no injury.  - On Saturday, several armed men broke into the house of George Hore, a farmer, near Castletown Roche, County Cork, which they robbed, ans also wounded some of the family. - A party of ruffians, who attempted to break into the house of Thomas Pim, in the Barony of Fermoy, on Friday, were repulsed after an exchange of shots.
     The Insurrection Act is to be withdrawn from the Liberties of Limerick, except the portion in the South, where the burnings occurred.
     It is a circumstance interesting to Ireland, that the first Episcopal Protestant Missionary who is to be permanently stationed at Jerusalem, and to open a place of Christian Worship for the Jews, should be an Irishman, in the person of the son of the Rev. William Lewis, of Limerick.

SHIPWRECK OF THE BRIG JESSIE

     It has never been our lot to record a more melancholy catastrophe than the loss of this vessel, on her homeward passage to this port form the River St. Lawrence. The intelligence is brought by the Mary Ford, which arrived here from Pictou on Tuesday last. The Jessie, a fine new vessel of 310 tons burden, commanded by Captain M'Alpine, a gentleman distinguished for his general talents, and particularly for his skill as a seaman and a naval architect, sailed form Three Rivers, in Prince Edward's Island, on the 22d of December last, a period of the year somewhat later than usual for an European voyage. Nothing was known of the vessel and crew for several months, and it was so generally supposed that she would never again be heard of, that we understand a settlement was in contemplation by the underwriters with the parties interested. It chanced, however, that on the 19th of May last, the master of the mail boat from Prince Edward's Island to Pictou, discovered part of the wreck of a vessel, stranded on the Isle of St. Paul's, a barren rock about half a mile in circumference, 200 miles from Cape Breton, and 3 to 400 from Three Rivers. It was soon discovered to be the remains of the Jessie, but no living creature was to be seen near her. On landing, the boatmen found a weather beaten temporary hut, and within it the awful spectacle of the passengers and crew of the Jessie, 22 in number, all dead! From the remnant of barrels, and other appearances, it was evident that on being wrecked on this dreary and inhospitable spot, they had succeeded in erecting the hut with such materials as had been washed on shore from the wreck, and had saved some portion of the provisions; but after the most dreadful sufferings from cold, owing to inadequate shelter and the want of food and fuel, they had perished under the united rigours of famine, and the storms of an almost polar winter. What their sufferings must have been, or how long the strongest amongst them were doomed to behold the pallid bodies of their companions while the finger of death pressed upon their own, there is no longer to tell. There were amongst them, besides the lamented commander of the brig, Mr. Donald M'Kay, the owner of the vessel, and Mr. Forbes, of Miramichi, a partner of Mr. Drinkwater of this town. The names of the other officers and crew of the brig we have not been able to ascertain. On the intelligence of the catastrophe reaching Prince Edward's Island, a small vessel was dispatched to bring the bodies for interment at that place; but, owing to the change in the atmosphere, they were found to be in such a state of decay, that it was necessary to perform the last sad duties of humanity on the spot where they perished. -- Liverpool Paper.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

     At an early hour on Monday morning, an alarming fire broke out in the house of a Cork-cutter in Abbey-street. Before an effectual assistance could be rendered towards checking its progress, the flames raged with tremendous fury, and the entire building was nearly one body of fire. Several engines by this time had arrived; and being supplied with water from the carts belonging to the Paving Board, which were also in attendance, they played with much effect, although for a considerable time before the great body of fire was reduced. The floors of the house fell, and also the front wall, which came with a dreadful crash into the street. The sight was truly appalling as the flames rose with redoubled fury from the pile of ruins. Serious apprehensions were entertained for some time as to the safety of the adjoining houses; but, we believe, except a house which was next to that in which the fire originated, and to which the flames communicated, they escaped uninjured. A considerable quantity of furniture from those houses were conveyed, for safety, into the street. A detachment of Horse Police attended to preserve order. The Lord Mayor and High Sheriffs were also in attendance. The conduct of the Police was highly exemplary, and the greatest assistance was rendered by the carts of the Paving Board, which were supplied with water from the river and from yards in the neighbourhood. We have not heard in what manner the fire originated. it was no effectually got under until about three o'clock. It is with much regret we have to state, that a young woman, named Mary Kelly, only twenty-one years of age, was burned to death; the remains of the body were dug from out the smoking ruins yesterday. A Coroner's Inquest was subsequently held on the body - Verdict, "Accidental death by burning." It is most pitiable to witness the distracted state of the Mother of the Deceased, a very old woman, who was amid the crowd, shrieking and wringing her hands. The body was found in an erect posture, half consumed, in a back part of the house; the head had separated from it. -- D.E. Post.

     ALARMING FIRE. - Yesterday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, the north side of the Metropolis was thrown into consternation by the bursting out of a fire in the house behind Mary-street, and in a most populous neighbourhood. The flames were discovered by the Watchman on duty, who very properly gave the alarm with alacrity. At first some dismay was created by the want of a sufficient supply of water, but that important want was quickly removed by the activity of the Paving Board, who brought a quantity of water in their carts from the Liffey. The flames were got under in about two hours; but considerable damage has been sustained, and but little of the furniture saved. It is somewhat singular that it was Mr. Harris's intention, in consequence of the late fire in Abbey-street, to have insured his premises yesterday. A boy, son to Mr. Harris, had a narrow escape of being burned- he was obliged to leap out of the window into the arms of the spectators. -- Ibid.

     Christ's Church, Dublin was originally built A.D. 1038 by Sitricus, King of Dublin, for a Friary Church. It was converted by Henry VIII, who broke down all the Abbeys and Monasteries in England and Ireland, into a Royal Collegiate
Church - like St. Peter's Church, Westminster, London, formerly Westminster Abbey - solely under the authority of the Dean and Chapter. - There is no Stall or Seat in it for the Archbishop of Canterbury, nor for the Bishop of London.
