Mr. Richard Berry (who was the cause of detecting the infamous 'ruffle of a similar nature, which was tried before the Commissioners last week) stated, that he was fenuerly the proprietor of the Quee►►'s Head, public house, in Queen Street, Cheals►de. In the month of October last. the defendant called at his house, and the conversation arose respecting the colouring of beer ; defesidantaaid he was in the habit of snaking a liquid for the puriinse of colouring, and the price was ss. 4d. per gallon.

BOXING. A match off hand took place on Wednesday even ing, after Cribb's benefit, in Harper's Fields, Pad dington, between W Abbot, a boxer of some note, and a Birmingham man, who strongly fancied him self. His prowess had been talked over at the Fives Court, and afterwards at Cribb's. The Count ryonan boasted that he cared but little about weight, and he was a match tor most of the fighting men. An amateur present, not willing to overmatch, proposed W. Abbot, he was sent fur, and he soon arrived in a costernounger's drag.

The body was taken to the dead house, and the circumstance has given rise to different reports. A Coroner's Inquest is already summoned to inves tigate this ease. The first stone of a charity school at Costessey, which is to be erected at the expense of Sir Geo. Jerningham, Burt for the education of the poor of that place was laid on Thursday se'nnight.

Dud belweeii Mr: Grattan and Lord Clare.—The following statement is from authority Mr. Grat tan having, at a public meeting in Dublin, made use of expressions which Lord Clare conceived to reflect upon the late Lord Clare, his father, and having declined either to explain or qualify them, the parties met on Tuesday morning, when Mr. Grattan, having received Lord Clare's tire, instantly fired in the air. The friends present having gives their opinion that the afliiir could proceed no fur. ther, Mr Grattan came forward in the handsomest manner, and mated, that having now met Lord Clan in the field, and having given the satisfaction re. quired, he was then willing to admit he was wrong in having made of such exprehsions, on which th. partici. immediately shook hands, and the athiir ter minated."

GRATTAN. It is our painful duty to record the death of the Right Hon. Henry Grattan. This melancholy event took place at a late hour on Sunday night, at his house in Biker-street. It has been fi,r soma time expected with mournful anxiety by his family, the whole of whom watched, with the tenderest solicitude, the death-bed of this distinguished cha racter. Fur the last five months Mr. Grattan la. boured under a severe dropsical affection in the chest, which, though attended with acute pain, he bore with the utmost resignation. The disorder bad attained so oppressive a 'might that Mr. Gist tan fur the last three months was, obliged to seck rest in a sitting posture; any attempt to sleep in any other : manner brought on an asthmatic affection which immediately threatened fatal consequences.— Mr. Grattan, anticipating the fatal result of his di . order, adopted, contrary to the advice of his friend., the determination of making one more effort on bi - halfof the civil and religious liberties of his eottatr) * To use his • own emphatic words, in reply to the Address of the Catholics of Ireland, presented to hini in Dublin not many days ago, -he owed ' 1 his last breath to his country," and with unerring haste ~ has that melancholy augury been fulfilled. On Monday night it was the intention of Mr. Grattan to have made the effort to take his seat in the House of Commons, and to close his eminent career of public services, by layirrg on the table of the House of Commons a series o f Reiolutions declaratory of those principles of civil and religious liberty which he thought became the high moral station of Great Britain, mid the enlightened character of bile age iu which we live. Mr. James having carried his Election for Carlisle by a majority of 86, is a convincing proof of the increasing strength of the independent interest in that City. The chairing of the Hon. Member w sv witnessed by an imoseme multitude, by whom he .. was hailed with acclamation. Some unexpected difficulties have, it seems, arisen respecting the occupation of the Dublin Theatre by Mr. Harris; in consequence of which Mr. Soul has left London, as the agent of that Gentleman, to fit up the old Post Office, which he intends opening under his patent instead of the old house, if any further delay is made to the acceptance of the terms he has nmposed. The new Bank notes, it is understood; will be ready to be jawed- in time to pay the dividends in October next. A dye is sinking for a new silver coinage ff the present reign, which, it is said, will be issued on the day of his Majesty's Coronation. Pours.—Lodgings being announced far single gentlemen in a genteel neighbourhood, the other day, with an N.B. that they would not be let to any poets, a gentleman was curious enough to enquire the reason, when he was !given to understand by the. landlady, that the resolution she had formed *mkt from her having let the lodgings to three different . poets in her time, who had only dotted the floor all over with ink, spoilt her looking glasses with wicked rhymes, crowded her door with door all day lope, and run away at last without paying her a farthing abet rent.
