On Sunday, a cargo of British faints were landed at the Pigeonhoufe, by a Welch boat; they are part of the Miffionary Society for propagating the gospel in foreign parts, and among idolatrous nations. The good men have not acted agreeable to their inftitution, for God help us, we are neither foreign nor idolatrous. Whatever progrefs we have made, either in politics or religion, it must be acknowledged the Reformation has diftributed an immenfe light over the fifter country:-we have no greater proof of it, than in this great commiffion of grace, appointed to give us a call; it confifts of thirty be, and fourteen he preach ers, their fools, bibles, and hymn books. Among the company are eleven Birmingham nailors, two pilots from Liverpool, two jugmakers from Staf ford, a fowgelder and two weavers from Leeds. The he preachers are jenny-fpinners from Manchefler. It is faid, on account of the great number of loyal men lately become bankrupts, that an additional number of Police magiftrates will be appointed; and, as a confiderable number of filent young lawyers faunter in the courts under the weight of large wigs, and great apprehenfions from the ill nature of taylors and tavern keepers, that a large detachmentwill be employed as a board of inftruction, to aflift the broken tradefimen in their judicial appointments. A few days ago, in Wales, in a meeting houfe of Jumpers, one of the Congregation bouncing from the floor, declared he had Jefus by the garment; this fignal attracted the attention of one Gwyndy, a barber, who had spent the laft fortnight in purfuit of the holy drapery without fuccefs; the poor fhaver was fo impatient to share the cloth with his happy brother, that he tumbled over the gallery and killed two old women in the fall. The accident fo difconcerted the affembly, that the grappling man of light let go his hold, the garment efcaped, and thus things remain unfettled until the martyrs are depofited. Some malicious perfon having af ferted, that Sir James Bobbin, of Ball-alley, was ftruck with a tennis racket instead of a fword, on receiving the title of knighthood, we are defired to contradict fuch idle reports, as the inftrument ufed had not an inch of either catgut or wood in its compofition, being of real Birmingham fteel, which the public can be fatisfied in, by looking into the middle pane of Alderman Archer's fhop window, who is a competent judge in fuch cafes, being a sword cutler and a magiftrate, as by corpora tions and law established. precede all gentlemen's coaches, and compel the wretches to remain down in their dwellings during the tranfit of their masters and miftreffes. GREAT TRADE. Yesterday, a veffel arrived at our Cuftom houfe, laden with 118 hogf heads of whiting, 8,000 firebricks, and two troops of dragoons, from Liverpool, which caufed the greatest activity amongst the clerks on the eftablishment who happened to be in town. Expreffes were forwarded by order of the Board, for the return to their bufinefs, of two quay furveyors, at prefent on a vifit to the Lakes of Killarney. The Irish Catholics are made to understand, they will be admitted to all the advantages of the conftitution if they turn Proteftants. Mr. Grattan and Lord Grenville make the demand; they forget, that when Catho. Jics might have preferved their properties, and have equal rights in an independent country, and could have avoided Hell and Connaught' they refifted any temptation: the conditions held out at this day must be very inferior to former ones. Mr. Grattan, who advises, has faid our country is dead, for he followed her to the grave.' So we are to turn fwadlers, jumpers. feekers, muggle tonians, any thing but papifts, for the honor of going into the tomb with departed Ireland! This morning the fwelled and disfigured remains of a man well drefsed were taken out of the river; a large concourse of people unanimoufly decided that the body was the Mu jor's, and were proceeding to evince their joy, by giving it a clasic funeral, with the affiftance of a burning heap of furze; but alas! their feftivity anď piety were stopped, to their great regret, by two evidences: one proved the dead man to have been a country alderman; and another affured the crowd, that he faw the MAJOR a few minutes before, placing a blue centinel over the ftone urinary in Exchange court. Mr. Broome, the bailiff, entertained a felect party of legal friends, at his feat in Schoolhouse-lane.Mefirs. Day, Bd, Caffidy, Mangan, and others of equal rank, were of the party. After the gentlemen were properly furcharged with whiskey, fome misunderstanding occurred, which terminated in a row'; like fire, the noify contagion spread to the adjoining houfes; and imme. diately a colony of fweeps, who inhabit an ancient tenement, formerly the refidence of Aughrim Luttrell, joined iffue-not as profeffional men ufually do, by propofing any adjustment, on the contrary, they widened the breach, in proportion to the weight they threw in to the contending parties. hough poor Day had his face well blackened by the fifts of his enemies, and the caps of his friends, we hear he efcaped without any great injury: B d es caped better, as he happened to have in his pocket a mitten full of penny pieces that he received for an opinion on his way to dinner; that seasonable article had its influence, as the moft athletic of the fable champions gave his protection in exchange for the glove, and Latitat got fafe to Sally's-park, near Dundrum, SALE SALE OF MAJOR S'S LIBRARY.

DIALOGUE IN THE CANAL PACKET. zine-his colour changed, and he called for the captain in a fury :— "Sir,' faid he, "how dare you have this Magazine in the boat of a loyal Company by G-. Sir, you must be a rebel and a fcoundrel, to circulate fuch a villainous piece of flander, and I fhall report you to the Company." The captain faid that "it was left there yesterday in a mistake by a gentleman." "You lie, you rafcal," cried he, "no gentleman would carry an affaffinating, ftabbing, mur derous, cowardly piece of difloyalty, like that rafcally Magazine; vou have it here as an agent of the French party in Ireland, as Mr. Grattan has remarked, and to bring loyal men into disrepute." The captain had retired before he had half concluded his fentence, turning up his nofe and fhaking his head, as much as to fay, "I'm fure you don't like it." He called the captain back, and gave him the Magazine, and commanded him to burn it. An English officer of dragoons returned in fome time with a blue book, and he was observed when reading it to laugh immoderately; it was foon recognized to be the book that had been fentenced to the flames curiofity was awakene, and not one in the boat but evinced a defire to read this infernal compofition, and To th.
