An extraordinary transaction lately took place not far from this city that has caufed much converfation in the polite circles, and probably will afford great sport to the Civilians. A large company dined with the Rev. Mr. A. a near relation to the Archbishop's, and when the ladies left the dining room the gentle men pushed about the bottle fo brifkly that on their joining the ladies in the drawing-room they were reeling ipe for fport, and fit for any frolic. In this fituation the master of the house observ ed, that he had never married a couple, and defired to know whether any of the parties prefent would admit him to begin with them; and particularly asked a beautiful young Mils M this quelt on? She replied that he had no objection provided he would get her a partner: he asked Mr. R. a gentleman of very large fortune who had dined with him, and was then perfectly elevated, to ftand up as a bridegroom, who immediately did fo, and Mr. A. then went regularly through the whole marriage ceremony between Mr. R. and Mils M. to the no fmall amusement of the company. Fatigued with this business, as well as overpowered with the wine he had drank, Mr. R. on the ceremony being finished threw himself on a fopha and fell fatt afleep. In the interim the company began to feparate, and the party with whom Mil M. had come infifted on leaving her behind them, which they did, declaring that they could not part Mrs. R. from her husband.-On MR.'s awaking, fomewhat fobered by his nap, he was not a little furprised to find that he had unexpectedly got a wife; and perfifted in treating the whole tranfaction as a mere matter of fpo t. But no matter of sport is he likely to find it, for the young lady's friends choose to view the bufinefs in the mott ferious light, and intend, a we underftand, to inftitute a fuit in the Ecclefiaftical Court to enforce the confummation of the marriage. DUBLIN, Nov. 25, 1788. THE funeral proceffion of the Volunteer whe died in confequence of the hurt he received on the the 4th inft. in ferving the Artillery of the Liberty Corps, was splendid beyond any thing we have obferved in this capital for a confiderable time. The body was attended with detachments from the different Volunteer Corps in Dublin and all the various Lodges of Freemafons in town. Indeed the whole was folemn and refpectable, and conducted with a propriety, that fhews in what high eftimation the character of a patriot foldier is held by the citizens of Dublin. There were two bands of military mufc attended. The proceffion extended near half a mile in length. The boules of Divine Worship were never fo crowded as on Sunday laft. Every defeription of people feemed emulous in preferring their pet tions to Heaven for the life of our beloved Sovereign. Many who had not quitted their chambers for year, obliged themfelves to be carried out upon this inte elting occafion-fo that there was a general overflow in all the churches in town. With an eye of hope, and pure sprit of devotion, the feveral congregations locked up to the throne of Eternal Grace in fupplication for the best of Kings. Never was a icene of affection as this effufion of loyalty and religion. It was not like the cold, PRO FORMA affemblage, which too frequently takes place on the Sabbath-be countenances, the demeanor, and the expreffions of the worshippers, all indicated the affliction of their hearts, and the fincerity of their piety. The Presbyterians, ever remarkable for their attachment to the House of Hanover, with that decent detachment which diftinguishes their profeffion, offered their pious pections to avert impending death. This zealous loyalty was not confined to the eftablished church. The fame virtuous flame warmed the breafts of our Catholic brethren→→ and in every Romish church in the metropol, the mott fervent fupplications were offered by the feveral priefts at the altars, joined in fentiment and expreffion by their flocks. The various leas of D.featers were alto alive to the generous teelings which pervade the community, and the forms of prayer prepared on the occafion. May the united prayers of milions be crowned with faces and may our beloved Sovereign be reftored to the grand fupplications of his affic ted people, and to the government of the sealm, which he has ever maintained in juftice and Bercy! Court of Common Pleas Burrowes against Neuburgh. After a trial of feveral days, on Monday laft the evidence being entirely clofed, Lord Chief Justice Carleton firft, and the Right Hon. Mr. Juftice Hellen arter, proceeded to charge the Jury, in the courfe of which the learned Judges cwed the greatest ability, impartially and judgment. The Jurt, who were compofed of gentlemen, (pecially funroned from the co. Cavin) and of the most respectable chara&er and fortune, after -the charge, retired near leven o'clock in the evenice, and in less than Steen minutes recured their verdict in favour of Mr. Newburgh, which accorded with the charge of the learned Judges. Thus the long fitigated caufe, after a former trial and verdict in the Court of King's Beach, which lafted eight days fitting, and a trial in the Court of Prerogative, which lafted thirty-fre hearing days, and which also went in favour of Mr. Newburgh, has even agzia, on each ned tigation, been confirmed to him, and of cure a paternal and confiderable landed property wi be reftored to the truly relpectable heir male, and to the ancient family and name of Newburgh Dec. 1.

Laft week, in one of the Courts, a certain Barrifter, fond of volubility, withing to be wirty on a horse dealer, asked him what the horie in queftien faid to him. The dealer replied he never knew a horfe could speak; but he had once heard an afs bray. I beg your pardon, Sir, I did not mean you The Hon, and Rev.

A gentleman at Kilmainham fately bought ad of bottled claret from a merchant in y-reet, which he ordered home; it was put into clieves, and fent off with three perten who conveyed it to the purchafer's manfion, where they unloaded it, and packed it in a binn fo much to his fatisfaction, that he paid them liberally for their trouble; on which one of the fellows, (feemingly affected with a paroxyfm of gratitude) taking his generous employer afide, told him in confidence, "He could not fee fe good a man wronged without informing him; that the wine they had brought him home was not that which he had bought and paid for, but a very inferior kind, which had been palmed upon him. -I would advile you therefore, fad he, to take a bottle of the wine, as if you had tatted it and found the fraud, and fend back all the reft, in lieu of which I'll engage to bring you half an hogfhead of the very beft in his cellar." No iooner faid than done; the wine was loaded in the clieves and sent back, but neither that or any other ever appeared again; it went to an undifce red country. After many painful and reiterated fearches, the grateful porter was found, but the fufferer was fo much afhamed that he quietly puts up with his lofs. Laft Sunday, an excellent charity fermon was preached in Lazor's Hill Chapel, to a very large congregation, confting more of proteftants and protel ant offerter than of Roman Catholics; and what redounds much to the honour of the proteftant heater, and proves the liberality of the prefent day is, that the proteftants contried raftly more to the charity than their Calic brethren; exclufive of which, many per of the ettabi.fhed church generously added the charity who could not attend, by fending eir leveral mites to the different perfons apinted to collect, from two and three guineas, half a guinea; -how noble this, and how Brthy of imitation!

The learned Judge, after expat ating most pointedly on the enormity of his guilt, ftil aggravated by his profeflion and his knowledge of the tendency, fen tenced him to fix months imprisonment, on each indictment; and to ftand in the pillory, once in the last week of each period, with a label on his back, expreffive of his crime. Lat! Tuelday night about twelve o'clock, a country chapman, (who lately came to this city to buy good) in going home to his lodgings in Smithfield, was flopped in King-freet by fome fellows, and robbed of e ghteen guineas and fome filver.
