A report wos in circulation for the last two days, that Sir Abraham Bradley King had received a luau fiom Lord Sidmouth, on the subject of an event of a very recent nature ; and as it was pro bable that much misrepresentation would ensue if the public should not be able to learn any part of its contents but by hearsay, we (says the Dublin Curre4pwillent) endeavoured to procure u correct copy of so important a document, and we now feel the greatest pleasure in laying it before our readers, verbatim, as follows : " Richmond Park, Oct. 9. " MY Dr. 4[t SIII.-1 cannot forbear congratulating you upon the complete accomplishment of his Majesty's gracious intention to confer upon you the dignity of a Baronet of the United king. dom. It was a ino,t fortunate circumstance, that at the period of his Majcify's visit to Ireland, the high office of Lord Mayor of Dublin was held by u person of known prudence and discretion, who, by a happy union of moderation and liminess, was enabled, wiihout the surrender or compromise of any principle, to con. ciliate the confidence and esteem of all parties. Allow me fur ther to express the great pleasure which I have felt in noticing your active and, at the late dinnu of the shaitls, successful en deavour to promote that liberal forbearance, and that true bene volence, which you so constantly observed and practised while in &lice. It is of the greatest importance to Ireland, and to the whole etnpira, that such an example should be implicitly fol. lowed. Accept my best wishes for your health and happiness, and believe me to be, with sincere esteem, my dear Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, SIDNIOITTIi. To Sir Abraham Briatey King, Rut." On this letter the Dublin Morning Post observes, —" This is a very important document. It omits all notice of the new Lord Mayor and his toast, but the epetobation of Lord Sidinouth is specifically given to the late Lord Mayor, fiir conduct the very opposite to that pursued by Mr. Kingston James, and more especially for his' successful endeavour at the late dinner of the sheriffs, to promote that li beral forbearance and true benevolence, which he so constantly observed and practised while in office.' Observe, reader, it was at this dinner that the toast was not drank. Now, as Lord Sithuouth praises the • liberal fiabearance and true benevolence' of Sir Abraham Bradley King, it fi,llows that there was not, according to his Lordship, one particle of liberal fiirbearance or true benevolence in the conduct of Mr. Kingston James—not even so much As the division of the twentieth part 01 one poor scruple.' And this is now the unanimous opinion of every in dividual in England, Ireland or Scotland, to whose cars the trumpet of Fame haat blown the glorious achievement of the new Lord Mayor of Dublin, notwithstanding the palaver of the canting speech, cr rather speeches, with which the toast was pre faced and ibllowed. The second letter of Lord Sidmouth gives the coup de grace to the rump to which Lord Mayor James adheres with such singu lar tenacity." During Sir Robert Wilson's confinement, in con sequence of his gallant conduct towards Lay:dote, Lady NVilson applied for a house at Rouen: idler going over it and inquiring the terms, Lady Wilson remarked that the terms were higher than she could I:fford to give ; her conductor (a gentleman), taking 11 • lady of the house aside, mentioned that it was c lady of Gen. Wilson, who saved Lavulette's that wanted the house. Immediately on this Icing communicated, the price was reduced to meet l:er ladyship's view.;, and every attention and res. cat paid her ladyship and tastily during their rebi dtusx at ituueu.

Curtis, had originally been the political clove of J. llonie Tooke. Such, however, it appears, was the case, and in this manner Tooke related the occasion :—" Sir William's anther had been a zealous friend of popu lar politics in the city and county, and at the period of the great contest for Middlesex. when Wilkes was opposed by Lutteral, old Mr. Curtis regretted that his business and time of life prevented him being so active in behalf of his fiivourite candidate as he wished to be. My son, however,' says he, is just now of age; he is young and strong ; take him, Mr. Horne, under your own direction, and make him useful in your canvas.' " The young man," continued Horne Tooke, " retained his acquaint ance with me tir some years afterwards but subse quently, as would readily he supposed, we seldom met. It happened, however, after a very long in terval, while I was a member of the House of Com mons, that we did meet at the door of the House, going out together into the lobby, and, what was more extraordinary, going out on a division upon the same side. Being side by side" said Tooke, " I offered him my hand as an old political pupil, and told him I was heartily glad to find that he had re turned to his master and to his orignal principles at lasts ' Return ! ' replied Sir William archly, I never left my principles; it is you Mr. Tooke, who have changed.' How am I to understand you Sir William?' Why, Mr. Tooke, when I engaged in politics with you we had the majority with us; by the majority I have always stuck, and I will keep among the majority to the last." At the general meeting of the Commissioners under the Paving Act, held last week, a Memorial was presented by Mr. Alderman Booth, signed by upwards of 80 inhabitants of the first. respectability in Nuns ich, requesting the Commissioners to take into their serious consideration the necessity of ap plying to Pariiament for more extensive powers to enable them efli:ctually to pave, light, watch, and cleanse this city. In consequence ot• which, and on the motion of Alderman Booth, seconded by Mr. Edward Taylor, and supported by Mr. Plumptre and other gentlemen, a Committee was appointed for taking into consideration the measures necessary to carry the above petition into effect, and to wort thereon at the next monthly meeting. At a meeting of the Norwich Reform Society held on Tucsd..y (Mr. G. Kitton in the chair), it was resolved that a subscription should be raised, in order to assist in indemnifying Sir Robert Wilson for the loss he has sustained by WA late dismissal from the --- Extract of a letter dated Osnabruck, Oct. 5.:-.. " I have at length arrived in the kingdom of Ha. nover, but am still one hundred miles from the capital. In my progress to this town front the Prus sian frtmtier, I witnessed the strongest manifestations of loyalty and attachment to his Nlajesty. A tri. limphal arch has been erected on the spot where the boundary line is drawn, and the decorations, though composed of the most simple materials, do credit to the taste and ingenuity of the parties who devised them. The arch is sustained by fbur posts, festooned with branches of palm, intermingled with the greenest foliage of the threat ; and the whole is mounted with the imperial crown, having the letters " G. R." inscribed underneatb, on a shield of azure blue, Similar arches arc constructed at every village I have come through, and the people appear anxious to rival each other in testifying their affection to a Sovereign, whose name and family are connected with their fondest associations. At Glandorf, the first village 1 came to after passing the frontier, I found the landlord of the inn, who is also the post master, brushing a suit of antiquated unifinm, in which lie intended to appear bethre his Majesty. He said he would present his Royal Master with wine of a hundred and twenty years old, poured out in a gold cup, and expressed his earnest hope that his Majesty would condescend to accept the libation. His daughter, who attended in the room with some refreshments, on seeing an English gentleman tender a sovereign in payment, immediately snatched it from his hand, when she understood it was stamped with the likeness of the King. Fixing her eves upon it with !look of ecstatic delight, she contemplated it Lora few moments, and then after passing it three or four times to her lips, declared she would not part with it as long as she lived. Surprised at the emotion she betrayed, the gentleman asked it' she had never seen the coin before? and she replied, that this was the first time she saw the likeness of the good King of Hanover." Betbre I left Munster, this morning, I discovered that the postboys had a desperate con tention for the honour of driving his Majesty's car riage. One of them, who was a fellow of some humour, said that the Koenig- von Prussen (the Kill.. of Prussia) when he passed through, did not provoke such angry feelings among them, as they would all have been very well content to let any one who pleased drive his Majesty to the d—l. You will not be surprised to hear that the King of Prussia is no favourite with the postboys, when I tell you that by an order lately issued at Berlin, any one of them who shall be found asleep on his horse, is to 'be placed on a seat, firmed by three pieces of wood, brought to so sharp a point as almost to pierce through the flesh, the unfortunate offender being all the time compressed within a wooden frame, and unable to relieve himself in any other manner than by an of attended with a varied sort of pain.... This punishment continues for six weeks, during which period the wretched sufferer gets nothing but bread and water, except on the third day, when he is allowed a little broth to sustain life. As soon as the time elapses, he is obliged to pay a fine of la dollars, and is then restored to his fOrmer situation, only to undergo more aggravated inflictions, should he again unhappily doze while on duty. From this instance you may form a tolerable estimate of the policy that exists in the King of Prussia's dominions. The Ekyplion Obelisk.— . Fitts piece of antiquity was lying in front of the temple in the island of Chiloc, where it stood originally at the time of !gulonly, or pro bably anterior to that period, and was first noticed by Gordon, alter various other travellers bo.h ancient and modern. It was taken from that place to Alexandria by the traveller Belzoni, to whom Mr. Banks is entirely indebted for his arduous operation, as it may be seen.— On the first attempt to convey it on board, the pier har ing given way, it slipt into the Nile. front whence it was raised by great labour under the direction of Belzoni, who being destitute of mechanical instruments, except some palm-leaf ropes, and a few pieces of palm.trees, contrived to have it turned up on the bank again, from whence it was embarked in a small boat, and launched down the cataract over a fall of water of about 20 feet in breath, and 600 in length, full of rocks on every side. It was then taken to Thebes, where another party of trayMers claimed it, they made au attempt on Belzoni 's life. At last the obelisk was safely taken to Alexandria by lino, where it was shipped for England. It is 22 feet in length, 4 feet square at the basis, and folms ill proportion about 130th part of the great obelisk now lying iii Alexandria, named Cleopatra's nceole, which is about 67 ket in length, by seven broad at the base. — There is reason to hope that that great monument of ill tvpity will he brought to this country, particularly as it Ices on the shore in the harbour of Alexandria, so fa. vourably situated for its embarkation. FUNERAL or Mn. ItEtimg.—The funeral of this ulebratod Engineer being appointed to take place on Tuesday. the neighbourhood of Stamford-street exhibited an unusual scene of bustle. At ems early hour carriages were seen driving from all directions to the late residence of the deceased, setting down gen tlemen to follow Mr. Rennie to the place of his internment. At precisely twelve o'clock the procession proceeded from Stamford street over lilacktriara Bridge, to the great western gate of Paul's, where, on the body being taken into the Cathedral, the o fi r c er i a n l is w te t l y m ic r e cl w i accustounal solemnities ; the streets through which the funera l with doe pte,sed were thronged with spectators, and at the entrance of I.
