The rector of Bermondley had his pockets picked; and the rector of St. John's received a violent bruife on his leg. The young women who were to ftrew the flowers, had their cloaths cut fo as entirely to spoil them; nor were they fuffered to precede the corpfe, but were under the neceffity of throwing their flowers from the pew (which they had with much perfonal danger reached) into the middle aifle. The remains of Mr. Ruffel were at length, with the utmost difficulty, configned to the deftined vault, under the body of the church. The leaden coffin, which covered the inner fhell, was inclofed in a plain one of beautiful oak; and that was lodged in a coffin cut out of folid tone, without a lid, that the fexton may have an opportunity of keeping the oak coffin clean, for which he is to receive yearly four guineas, and 10l. for taking care of the monument. The will, it is imagined, will be brought, by an amicable bill, into the court of chancery; where, in all probability, the teftator will be deemed infane.

Parliamentary Reform, held in Dublin the the Affembly of Delegates for promoting 25th, 26th and 27th Days of O&tober, 1784. WILLIAM SHARMAN, Efq; Prefident, in the Chair. Refolved, unanimoufly, that the people, in the largest fenfe of that word, have an undoubted right to ftate their grievances, to petition for a redrefs of them, and to propofe reme dies for the fame, with that deference which is due to the legislature, and with that firmness which belongs to the people. Refolved, unanimoufly, that this right belongs to the people, with peculiar extent and energy that fuch defect as that now complained of in on the fubject of Parliamentary Reform, fecing the legislature is incapable of remedy but thro' the exertions of the people, and if not remedied, would deftroy their share in the legislature, and of courie the balance and freedom of the conAitution. Refolved, Refolved, unanimously, that to combat this evil, the people have a right to confer with each ther, the better to digest such mode of redrefs a they may wish to recommend to parliament; and, that that method of conferring which moft conduces to just investigation, and is least subject to diforder, is beft. Refolved, unanimoufly, that the meeting in one place of perfons felected by the people for that purpose, in preference to the meeting in multitudes at various and distant places, is obviously molt conducive to concord and found decifion. Refolved, unanimously, that a reform in the reprefentation of the people in parliament is indifpenfably neceffary. Refolved, unanimously, that we esteem it fortunate that in this great purfuit there is no competition of intereft between the fifter nations of Great Britain and Ireland: but that, on the contrary, a reform of parliament is equally defired in each kingdom, by the wifeft and honefteft men in both. Refolved, unanimoufly, that the appointment of this affembly by the people, and the fteps they have taken from time to time on the fubject, have been conftitutional, and calculated to procure the aid and co-operation of the legiflature in that falutary work. Refolved, unanimously, that this affembly do hereby addrefs the counties, counties of cities, and great towns, who have not yet been reprefented, therein recommending it to each of them refpectively to elect delegates for that purpose, before the 20th of January next; and do exhort them, as they refpect their own confiftency, -as they with for the fuccefs of a Parliamentary Reform and as they tender the perpetual liberty and profperity of their country-to feize this opportunity of effecting this great and neceffary confirmation of the conftitution. Refolved, unanimously, that the thanks of this affembly be given to our worthy prefident, William Sharman, Elq; for his very upright, able, and fpirited conduct in the chair. Refolved, unanimoufly, that the thanks of this affembly be given to our worthy member, John Talbot Afhenhurst, Efq; for acting as fecretary, and for his proper conduct and attention to this affembly. Refolved, unanimously, that the feveral refcJutions entered into by this aflembly be printed in the public papers. Refolved, unanimously, that this affembly do adjourn to the 20th day of January next, then to meet in Dublin. WM. SHARMAN, Prefident. J. T. ASHENHURST, Secretary. Nov. 4. The volunteer corps of the county and city of Dublin, commanded by General Earl Charlemont, pursuant to annual custom, paraded through the principal streets of the city, after which they drew up in College-green, and fired three rounds in honour of the day. The following is an inftance of the alarming pitch to which public depredation is at prefent carried: On the evening of November 4, about the hour of eight o'clock, a number of tellows arm ed with piftols, &c. formed a plan to commit a robbery, which they effected in the following manner: One of them, well dreffed, called a fedan chair, while another went before as footman; they went to a lady's houfe in Templestreet, rapped at the door, and sent in the name of a right honourable gentleman, who happened to be known to the lady, defiring to speak with her; it was accordingly defired that the gentleman fhould walk in; the chair was opened, and the villain with his affociates (four in number) rufhed up ftairs, all of them armed. The chairmen immediately difappeared. The family coofifted only of the lady of the house, a young lady a friend of her's, and a fervant maid. The lady hearing fome unusual noise below, looked over the railing, and faw the villains make falt the door, upon which the retreated and locked herself up in her bed-chamber, but the villains foon broke every door in the houfe, took whit they pleafed of goods and money, and during four hours (the time they remained in the houfe) practifed every brutality on the lady and her friend, each of them being held down alternately by thofe ruffians, while they feverally perpetrated a violence on them. The youngest of the females having at length contrived to make her efcape over a wall, the gave the alarm, and two of the villains being apprebended, were brought before juftice Graham, who com mitted them to Kilmainham gaol; and as ftri&t fearch is making after the other villains, it is hoped they will be brought to condign punikment. 6.] Two men were executed at the front of Kilmainham gaol, pursuant to their fentence; one for theep-ftealing, the other for committing a robbery in the above prifon. Mary Sutton was likewife executed for robbing a bleach-greta at Donnybrook. She publicly declared her in nocence of the fa& for which the suffered, Same day, the unhappy foldier who some time ago was tried by a general court martial, and found guilty of having houghed himself on the Circular Road, in order to obtain the allowance of 20l. per annum, pursuant to an act of parlise ment, to be levied in whatever parish a foldier may be houghed by any other perlon, and who was fentenced to receive 800 lathes, received 500 in part of his punishment in the Barrack yard, and was carried away with fcarcely any fymptoms of life, and it is thought cannot poff bly recover. It is hoped that this inftance of juftice in a court martial, will deter all other of the military from committing the like vanatural offence, which falls but little short of actsal fuicide. Very large commiffions are received by the merchants of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Water ford, Galway, Londonderry and Belfaft, har beef, butter, bides raw and tanned, tallow, foap and candles, for our friends in Europe, America and the West India islands. The prices of thofe articles are already enhanced, and may be expected to rife in proportion to furut demands. One houfe in Cork has got order from Meffis. Marault, Duhamel and Co. of Bourdeaux, for 2000 tierces of beef, 1409 da. parky 1 1784 Hiftorical Chronicle. pork, and 1780.cas of butter, of the first quality that can be had. On Saturday 13th, Tuesday 16th, and Wedmeiday 17th of November, counfel were heard en a motion for an attachment againtt Henry Steevens Reilly, Efq; high fheriff of the county of Dublin, for a contempt, in affembling and prefiding at a meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the county, for chufing delegates. Mr. Caldbeck, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Recorder Huffey, and Mr. Michael Smith, were heard on behalf of Mr. Reilly; and Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Solicitor General, Mr. Prime Serjeant and Mr. Serjeant Fitzgerald on the part of On the 26th the rule was made abfolute, and the attachment iffued, on which Mr. Reilly furrendered on the 27th, and on the 29th was fentenced to one week's imprifonment, and a fine of five marks. the crown. 11.] James M'Cormick, thread-maker, was taken up drowned, out of the Liffey, directly facing the Earl of Moira's, on Ufher's-ifland. He has been miffing fince Saturday night last. The coroner's inqueft fat on the body, and brought in their verdict accidental death, as there were no marks of violence on him. The lord lieutenant and council of this kingdom have iffued a proclamation, dated the 13th inft. offering a reward of 100l. each, for apprehending the three firit perfons concerned in fending threatening anonymous letters to Meffrs. Courtney and Ridgeway, Meffrs. Strangman and fons, Meffrs. Zuthorft and Goff, and Meffrs. George and Wm. Penrofe, eminent merchants, of the city of Waterford, relative to the exportation of bacon; which proclamation is to remain in force for the space of fix months. 19.] Came on in the court of King's Bench, the pleadings to fhew caufe why an attachment fhould not be granted against counsellor Lyfter, and the other gentlemen who held the meeting in the town of Rofcommon. Mr. Currin, in an elegant fpeech of three hours, in which he difplayed the found lawyer and firm friend of his country, pointed out fuch defects in the affidavit, that the court refuled to make an order for attaching the gentlemen concerned at the meeting. Same day came on in the court of Exchequer, the great caufe between the Earl of Donegal and Mrs. Hamilton, refpecting the fifheries on a part of his Lordship's eftate in the province of Ulfter; when, after a trial which lafted till feven o'clock in the evening, a verdict was brought in for the plaintiff. Same day Meffrs. Rourke and Dowling were brought to the bar in the court of King's Bench, to plead to the indictment found against them at the fuit of alderman James; they both agreed to traverfe, and the court being unanimous that there was not time to bring on the trial this term, it was adjourned to the next. Mr. Dowling was remanded back to prifon on a fecond charge of high treaton, and Mr. Rourke was admitted to bail on his former recognizance. 23] At day-break a dreadful fire broke out in the warehoufes of Mr. M'Carty, merchant, in Poolbeg-street, one of which where the fire broke out, contiguous to a malt-kiln, was im- Yesterday came on in his Majesty's court of King's Bench, the great trial at bar, commonly called the Ely caufe; the pleadings of counfel continued till near eleven o'clock last night, and went principally to prove, as we hear, that though the Houfe of Lords had referred the order was made for a new trial, and therefore caule to the courts, yet by fome mistake no no witneffes could be examined. The court continued fitting till two o'clock this morning, when the jury retired, who this day at ten o'clock delivered a verdict for the defendant, Mr. Loftus. The harveft having this year fo bountifully crowned the farmer's wishes, we can admit no doubt but where domeftic confumption fails, exportation will amply reward his toil. If we recal the prophecy of Jofeph, we shall confequently confider, that though plenty now produces her golden horn, the labourer is not to relinquish his perfevering efforts to preclude future want. Cultivation is ever the chief finew of a country; commerce is only fubfervient to its fecondary pur poles; and we are happy to hear that every quarter of the nation is fo pregnant with the spirit of agriculture, that its happy confequences must effectually impede every approach of scarcity the enfuing feafon, if Providence should equally bless the farmer's induftry. It is recommended to the confideration of the Dublin Society, whether the most effectual mode of promoting the fabrics of this country would not be to grant their premiums to fuch Mafter Manufacturers as would embark extenfively into trade, and at the fame time introduce machinery upon plans already adopted in England. - Inftead of encouraging the introduction of spinning Jen nies for the woollen manufacture, the Society at prefent pay a farthing per kein additional for what is fpan in the old and injudicious method of carrying it on; it is, however, a matter evident in itfelt, that where a hundred different women draw the threads of yarn for a fingle piece of cloth, there will be a particularity in the manner of each that will prevent thofe threads from being equally ipun or twifted; but when the fame number is drawn out by a single machine, all muit be perfectly equal, A BIRTH S.
