On Thursday, his Majesty drove to the Castle, and after visiting the pleasure. grounds, returned to the Royal Lodge.

It is now nally settled, that Windsor Castle is to be the residence of th King during the winter, and that he will take up his abode there on 'Thursday oer Friday next. On the following Monday, a splendid entertainment will be eiiss to numerous distinguished individuals. It is now some months since thele„, has given any entertainment of magnitude. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, Dem.. lag Street. The Ministers present were—the Lord Chancellor, the Duke cf Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Rosslyn, and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the E. chequer, Mr. Berries, and Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald. The Ministers assembled ac. three. o'clock, and remained in deliberation till half-past five o'clock when t;:e Council broke up. Several of the Ministers came to town for the purpose of at- tending the Cabinet.

The very unusual occurrence of deferring the meeting of a Council, which ree to assemble for the important purpose of receiving what is commonly known a, the Recorder's report, has excited considerable observation. It is asserted eo: the indisposition of the Sovereign is not of such a nature as to incapacitate lil;„ from discharging this duty without serious inconvenience ; and invention ale conjecture have been put in requisition, to account for a circumstance which ie in ordinary cases, one of very rare occurrence. We have heard. the !natter at- tempted te be explained in a variety of ways; but the version of the history which seems to be most received, ascribes tile delay to tile Royal disinclination to come into direct personal contact with the Common Sergeant, whose duty it to reteive the King's commands on the subject in question, in the absence 'or Recorder, who is rendered incapable of attending by a s■.vere \1-e certainly have heard this account of the affair front an authority entide:i to anent:, on such topics; at the same time, it is only fair to take into the account the ill of his Majesty having put off his visit to Brighton, for which all the arran:zela were in a state of great forwardness, and that indisposition was assigned :e reason for this change of purpose.—Morning Chronicle, Thursday.

The Lord Mayor's procession on Monday was as fine as usual: this indeed., too cold a compliment—the last is always the finest ever seer!. The Duke:. Wellington, Mr. Peel, Sir George Murray, Lord Bossism, and the Chancellor : the Exchequer, attended the dinner at Guildhall. A correspondent of the Times states to-day that it was the gracious intentire the Duke of Clarence to have honoured the civic feast on Monday with his pre- sence, but—he received no invitation.

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Bathurst, Lord Rosslyn, the Chancellor oldie Ex- chequer, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Berries, and the Common Law Judge:, sembled on Thursday in the Court of Exchequer, and appointed the Sheritn fur the various counties for next year. At a meeting on Wednesday night, of the trustees for the watch of the pari-1, of St. Mary, Whitechapel, it was agreed to submit to the parishioners the plan ot a parochial police, to be called the " Whitechapel Police Association." Die Association to consist of the trustees for keeping a nightly watch under the loci act, of such of the respectable inhabitants as may be chosen by ballot ; and the police and resident magistrates to be deemed honorary members. The member: to be elected by ballot, to be subscribers of one guinea annually, or active pee sons placing themselves at the disposal of the trustees. Six members to be on duty each night, in addition to the present police establishment; and to lie . allowed 2.1. each for refreshments.

The latest accounts from the manufacturing districts are of a cheerinedes,crip- tion. The demand for goods at Manchester, Leeds, er.c. had considerably revive-l. At Liverpool, in the three first days of this week, 12,000 bags of cotton hat sold, chiefly to manufacturers, at an advance of an eighth per pound. Messrs. John Walker and Sons, woollen manufacturers at Milshar, received. week, a large order; and their workmen, in the usual spirit, struck for an mb,l1ICL. of prices. This was promised, but only till the order should be executed. Tile men, however, wished to have it made permanent, and deserted their looms. Messrs. Walker, after some delay, succeeded in supplying their places, and thine: now go on smoothly; though, from the hostile demonstrations of those who Issi " turned out," a riot was for some time apprehended.

THE Aastv.—A Court-Martial has been lately held at Ipswich before Moja', General Sir John Macieene, K.C.B. and a board of officers, on Lieutenant Deis of the 7th Dragoon Guards. The charges were in effect as follows—tot, that Lieutenant Hely had, between the 6th of November 1828 and the 10th olio!, 1829, contracted a debt of 38/. 17s. 21. with the messman of the regiment ;sin that he had refused to discharge it; 2dly, that Lieutenant Hely had borrowed of Thomas Sage, waiter at the Great White Horse Totem, On the 25th of Juno last, the sum of 101. which he had neglected to pay; 3dly, that he lad borrowed 74/. of Paymaster-Sergeant Gauley, by means of bills which had been dishonoured. The Court was occupied two days with the charges and the defence. The sentence will not be made public, till the King's pleasure shall have been intimated. During the Musical Festival in Chester, the officers of the 67th Regiment quar- tered there, finding it impossible to procure lodgings but at enormous prices. ap. plied for billets ; which the Magistrates accordingly issued on the various

and public-houses. Against this arrangement the Honourable Colonel •Siolyneue remonstrated, and expressed his desire that the officers should be quartered no the hotels in the city. The Magistrates refused ; and in consequence of the Colonel's deportment on the occasion, they found themselves called on to lay the matter before the Commander of the Forces. Lord Hill, it is to be presumed, has not been inattentive to the complaint, for the regiment has been for some days under the command of another officer ; and on Friday last, Colonel Molyncue requested an interview with the Magistrates. It appeared that an investigation before General Bouverie had been ordered by Lord Bill. Colonel Molyneux seems willing to avoid this by an apology to the Magistrates; but the civic dig- nitaries declared their intention to allow the matter to take its course. In answer to a memorial by the licensed victuallers of Chester, complaining ot the system of billeting soldiers on them, Sir Henry Ilarding,e has stated, that the innkeeper is legally bound to furnish accommodation in his own house to the officers and men who may be quartered on him ; but recommending, at the same time, a substitution of accommodation elsewhere, when the innkeeper may desire it, providing the option be left to the military.

THE DUBLIN COMBINATIONMURDER:7-011 Thursday the 5th, Thomas Magieth and Michael Mellon were tried at Dublin for the murder of Thomas Hanlon. After three challenges on the part of the Crown, and two for the prisoners, the jury were sworn—though not before the Clerk for the Crown had been forced to pause for some minutes, while administering the oaths, in consequence of the tremendous cheering which Mr. O'Connell's arrival excited among those without. The Solicitor-General, in the course of his address to the Jury, stated, " that a more deliberate, a inure wanton, a more cruel, and, he might certainly add, a more audacious murder, had never been perpetrated. It was not a murder that originated in a sudden heat ; it did not arise flom any quarrel, nor was it to be palliated by human infirmity ; but it was the deliberate execution of an indivi- dual. who had offended against the laws of a body, the constitution of which he should explain. It was deliberately planned, and deliberately executed. It was a murder perpetraned in the day-light, and in one of the most populous streets of the city. The unfortunate man, Thomas Hanlon, was by trade a sawyer ; he and his companion. Hughes, were returning from Nvork ; they were waylaid by gang of not less than thirty-persons. Hanlon had no personal quarrel with the prisoners, nor with any of thoee concerned in his death. It all arose from that spirit of combination, which had been growing up in their city for several years, and which had now attained a fearful magnitude ; so much so, that it must now be decided whether lawless associations of tradesmen are to rule over the law, or submit to its wholesome enactments. The object of the combinators was to regulate the wages of workmen ; and the trades of the city were combined to- gether to afford mutual assistance. Timothy -Molloy, the principal witness for the Crown, after telling how the murder, of which he was an eye-witneas, was planned and perpetrated, and swear- ing that the prisaners were active in completing the tragedy, was cross-examined by Mr. O'Connell. " You are an innocent fellow ?"—‘4 I am innocent enough." " Innocent enough ! then you are not a murderer?'—No." " You are inno- cent ?"—" I am too innocent.'' You agreed to go and murder a man ; the murder was committed e and yet you say you are too innocent"—" Yes, I do." " You primed with whisky?' —" No 1 did net prime." " Yes you primed with two glasses ; you know, if you took more you would be loaded" [laughter]. " Did you read the reward ?"—" I did." " Did you not read that the reward would not be given except to a person who did not strike a blow."—" 1 did." " Did the reward increase ?"—" It did." " At last they came up to your price ? Have you been promised that you will be saved yourself?"—" No." " Do you think you will be hanged ?"—" I do nut know." " Is it your opinion you de- serve to be hanged ?"—(No answer.) C. Was this the first slating you were at?"

- No, it was not." " Well, you killed your man before?"—" No, I did not."

" Oh ! I beg pardon—well ! where did you slate him ?"—" In Dirty Lane." 0 Did You know the man you slated ?"--, No I did not." " How did the man escape death ?"—" I never heard of any nom being killed by slating nor did I ever hear it was the intention to do so." " Oh ! you only thought of horse-whipping him with such a thine as that,—(holding up one of the bludgeons.)?"— 0 Yes." " How many did slate in Dirty Lane ?"—" Three, I suppose."

" Did you ever hear that the chandlers had occasion to slate ? Whom did they employ ?"—" The sawyers." " Did you ever hear of one Tim. Molloy being employed by the chandlers ?"—" Ay did I." "And he is here on the table ?" — " Yes." " Did you get any pay for that ?"—" I got no pay; but when it was

discovered I had to go to England." " INhom was it you then beat ?"—" He

was a companion of my own when I was iwthe butchering, line." "What was your payment for that?"—' I got no payment ; but I got 2/. 10s. when 1 wanted to go to England to keep out of the way." " Two pounds ten shillings for slating a man ? Did you ever hear of a man named Ryan ?"—" No, I did not." "The man whom you wanted to have drowned in the canal ?"—"I deny that." " Did you ever speak to a man mained Burke about drowning Ryan No, not to my knowledge." " You might have spoken about drowning three men?"—" I might have said such men ought to he drowned." " Did you ever say that you

might have believed in a God ; or you might not ?"—" No, I worship a Deity." "Did you ever term it a humbug ?"—" I always believed in a God." "You were always a conscientious man ?"—" I always had a considerably pretty fairish conscience." " Did you ever talk about not believing in Christianity?"—" Never to my knowledge." " What was the first stun you saw offered as a reward ?"— " About 2001." " What do you calculate it came to at last ?"—About 10001." " So you got 2/. 10s. for slating. and you are now to get 10004 forswearing?" Witness then stated, that he could not tell whether he would get any share of the 1000/., and that he did not expect it. He said he hid his bludgeon in a dunghill. After all the witnesses for the prosecution and defence had been examined, and the Chief Baron had recapitulated the evidence, the Jury consulted for four hours, and then returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Its announcement was received with screams of horror by their friends in the Court-house.

Baron Smith then sentenced them both to be hanged on the following Saturday. The prisoners, particularly Mellon, conducted themselves with great firmness. When the shrieks of his family reached his ears, he seemed not to hear them, but to listen to the exhortations of the Judge. He had five children. Magrath was only eighteen years of age.

On Friday evening an application was made to the Chief Magistrate by the various classes of operatives iii Dublin, stipulating, that if the lives of Melon and Magrath were spared, the different bodies would dissolve themselves, deliver up their books and papers, and never again unite in any unlawful confederacy. The proposal, however, could not be entertained ; and accordingly, on Saturday at one o'clock, the sentence of the law was carried into etlbct.

Leary has been respited, but his three companions in affliction are still under sentence oldeath ; and the Trish papers say it is to be feared, that the sentence will he carried into execution. Many memorials have been addressed to the Irish Government on their behalf; but it has been left to the Cr4Iwn Officers to decide upon their fate.

The 5th of November has passed over in Ireland without outrages of a serious nature. There was here and there a paltry Orange parade, but the public peace has not been violated.

The Board of First Fruits has ordered several churches to be built in Ireland.

Dr. Doyle has addressed a long and admirable letter to his flock, on the sub- ject of the secret Societies that exist in Ireland. He treats of these Societies, their objects, and consequences. He proves that these objects can never be at- tained; and if attained, would only bring with them results still more direful to their promoters and the country at large, than have always flowed from their failure. He reminds his flock that the country is now permitted to enjoy pros- pects that have hitherto been denied to it ; and that the poor can no longer look on the Government as their oppressors. " The greatest cause of our national misfortunes," he says, " has been removed. The penal code has been repealed, the road to improvement in Ireland is now open,—nay, the work itself, of im- provement is already commenced; the minds of all men are engaged in devising means whereby the condition of the people may be bettered; and the King's Government,,which,has made all his:subjects 'equal before the law, is now anxiously intent on providing us with the means of living as becomes the members of a free state. In other times, beloved brethren, if 1 saw you distressed and in want,, or driven by oppression to combine, I might hesitate, before I would take up the arms of the gospel, lest in the employment of them, I should seem to range my- self on the side of guilt in power against guilt in distress. But now no such feeling damps my zeal, or makes my heart falter, whilst my tongue would speak. No ; this is the period of the resurrection of our country."

A hostile fleeting took place on Saturday morning between Lord GeorgeTeres- ford and Mr. Henry Winston Barron, the two candidates for the representation of the county of Waterford, The cause of quarrel arose out of some statements in a letter to the electors, published by Lord George Beresford, in which his Lordship alleged that Mr. Barron had twice offered to support him, with all the interest of the Barron family, in the county, provided Lord George, in return, would lend his aid in effecting the return of Mr. Barron for the city of Waterford, now represented by Sir John Newport. The meeting took place about nine o'clock, in the demesne of Bishop's Ran, county of Kilkenny. Lord George Beresford was attended by Mr. Joseph Greene, and Mr. Barron by Mr. John Alcock. The ground having been measured, and the preliminary arrangements made, there was an exchange of two shots each, without producing any effect. Mr. Greene, the second of Lord George, then came forward, and stated that both parties having proved themselves men of courage, he could not sutler the affair to proceed further, and would therefore walk Lord George off the ground. The four gentlemen then separated, without any reconciliation having been effected. Mr. Barron has published an address to the electors of Waterford in reply to that of his opponent, in which, after admitting, With certain qualifications, the state- ment of Lord George, he says—" The simple fact of my having held any confer- ence with the Beresfonl family is not to be justified, and I do not seek to justify it ; hut this forms no excuse for his Lordship's dishonourable violation of a pri- vate and confidential communication ; and 1 therefore most unequivocally stig- matise his conduct as a base and profligate abandonment of every principle which has heretofore been held sacred amongst gentlemen." It is to be feared that this letter will produce a second meeting, as the duel took place before its publica- tion.—Dublin Correspondent of the'Glohe.

The challenge which produced the late duel in Waterford was front Lord Beres- ford. Mr. Barron had sent him a manuscript copy of his letter before it was sent to the newspapers, and a message was soon after delivered. This accounts for the circumstance of the letter of Mr. Barron and the account of the duel appearin in the same paper.—Dublin Morning Register.

The Bishop of Ferns has addressed another letter to Lord MounteasheL It is but a reiteration of What he formerly advanced,—that abuses are not creeping iota the Church, but, on the contrary, disappearing rapidly, through the efforts of the Bishops ; and that, could abuses gross and manifold be pointed out by Lord Mountcashel, still the mode of attempting their redress to which his Lordship has had recourse, is ill fitted to effect it. He quotes Burke to show that tithes are not a public burden, and that Roman Catholics, consequently do not contribute to them. Without calling Burke's impartiality into question, it is obvious enough that tithes now present themselves in points of view that did not occur to the inquirers of forty years ago ; and that if the matter is to be decided by qu- thority, plenty of great names may be opposed to the Bishop's opinion. Thu Bishop contends, too, for the necessity of education to clergytnen ; a position which few will care to dispute with him ; but he has not explained how, it hap- pens, that tile Church rating cultivated talent so highly as the Bishop says she does, rewards it so indifferently—that it so seldom is the passport to promotion—aud that the learning which Arould grace a bishoprick is so often confined to a humble Cure ?

Private reports state, that the cause of the Church is daily losing ground in Dublin ; that a reform in the Establishment is 'called for on every side- and that Catholics and Orangemen are likely to unite ere long in opposing the present system of tithes.

As evidence of the speedy decay of religious animositiee, I ought to mentioa that, in Derry, Mw George bawson is now so popular as to be independent of his former patrons, the Beresfords ; and that even the Apprentice Boys of that redoubt- able city are ready to embrace their Catholic countrymen.—C'orrespeizdmsl off/se Morning Chronicle.
