ARMY

A Lieutenant of an Old Veteran Battalion, on the English Establishment, wishes to Exchange with a Lieutenant on the British Establishment of Half-Pay. For the Particulars, a Letter directed for X.V.W. at the Bar of the Globe Coffee-house, Essex-street, Dublin, will be duly attended to. - Veteran Battalions have advantages now, and particularly in time of peace, that no other Corps in the Service have.




County of Wicklow

Notice.- Whereas one Bank Note of �100, and one Bank Note of �20, both bearing date in August, 1807, were lately taken on the person of Sarah Manly (who passes also by other names) of notorious bad character; and it also appears that the said Sarah Manly passed one Note for �15, and was possessed of other Notes, but which have not been discovered.- The said Sarah Manly says she found the Notes on the Road near Wicklow, in April last, but there is a strong suspicion that she became possessed of them in a dishonest manner, and is now confined to Wicklow Gaol.- Whoever can prove to the property of those Notes, will apply to Thos.Weaver, Esq. of Cronebane, in said County, in whose Possession they now are, or to the Head Office of Police, Dublin.
The said Sarah Manly is about five feet high, swarthy complexion, dark eyes and hair, and has lately lost a front tooth in the upper jaw, and is a native of the parish of Castle M'Adam, in said County.

Dublin.- Saturday, Sept.29.
This being Michaelmas Day, the worthy Alderman Hone, commences his office of Lord Mayor. Great efforts are making to equal and if possible exceed the magnificence of the late excellent Magistrate, Alderman Sir William Stamer, Bart. It is a strife of honour when good Magistrates contend, who shall be the most just, the most active, the most vigilant; who in the Mansion House shall be the most hospitable host; who as a man shall be the most kind and benevolent :- this is a strife we wish may ever continue amongst the Alderman of Dublin.

The next Quarter Sessions for the County of Dublin will be held at Kilmainham, on Tuesday next, the 2d of October. The Court will sit at ten o'clock, and business will be immediately proceeded on.

We rejoice, that in consequence of the recent demand for Irish Woollens, there is now in the loom great quantities of Broad Cloths, which in texture, fineness, and colour, promise to vie with any imported from England.

On Wednesday the 26th instant, a Coroner's inquest was held on the body of a full grown female infant, taken out of the Royal Canal, at Binn's-bridge, Drumcondra-road; the verdict was wilful murder against some person or persons unknown.

Sunday, 23d inst. at 2 A.M. during a violent gale from the N.E. a brig of about 90 tons burden, William Irwin, master, partly laden with coals, bound from Saltcoats to Dublin, was driven on shore in Ballyhalbert Bay, in the district of Douaghadee. There were on board the said brig, two officers, and about 60 privates, of the Royal Artillery, on their way from Glasgow to Dublin. Mr.Lemon and Mr.Miller, coast officers at Ballyhalbert, attended on the spot, and rendered much aid in procuring boats, &c. to expedite disembarkation of the troops, &c. who will proceed by land to Dublin. The brig fortunately received no damage, as she was expected to get out on Monday morning's tide.

On Saturday evening last a fire broke out in the house of Mr.Walsh, a spirit dealer, at the head of North-street, Belfast. As it began in the upper story it was fortunately prevented from communicating to the spirituous liquors in the under flat, and by the judicious and arduous exertions of the firemen with their engines, &c. it was extinguished before it could attach to the adjacent tenements.

Births
Wednesday morning last, in Lower Merrion-street, the Lady of Mr.St.Pierre, of two sons.
At Woodstown, the seat of Robert Shapland Carew, Esq. the Lady of Richard Power, Esq. jun. of Clashmore, of a daughter.

Married
By special licence, Captain King of the Roscommon regiment, nephew of Colonel King of Charlestown, in the county Roscommon, to Miss Rowe, daughter of Ebenezer R.Rowe, of Ballyharty, in the co. Wexford, Esq.
Mr.G.Lyster, bookbinder, Temple-bar, to Miss Shaw, of Fishamble-street.
At Bangor, Mr.Michael Andrews, to Miss Sarah M'William, both of Belfast.
In Banbridge, Mr.William Merren, to Mrs.Hamilton, of said place.

Died
Friday se'nnight, in Clonmel, the Rev.Thomas Hay, Rector. Long converse with the world (for he was rapidly approaching to 60) had not corrupted that simplicity of manners that most usually accompanies a virtuous disposition. He was a friend to those who were friendless - he was hospitable without the ostentation or frigidness that diminish the value of hospitality, and charitable without that display which robs benevolence of its best attribute.
At Ballentore, in the 23d year of her age, Miss Foley, daughter to Samuel Foley, Esq.
In Chancery-lane, Mrs.Craig, wife of Mr.William Craig, Printer.
