DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 20.

     In our last, for want of better Information, what we think the Public interested in knowing, that the State of the Poll, in balloting for the Election of an Alderman, on Friday last, stood thus;
     For Mr. Darquier     1.
     For Mr. Lamprey     3.
     For Mr. Wrighton    0.
     For Mr. Bailie          91.
    Mr. Wrighton, whose character in public and private Life is most respectable in the Eyes of the Commons and Citizens, would undoubtedly have had many Votes upon this Occasion, had he not held an Employment subject to the Ministry, which is looked upon to be incompatable [sic] with the Office of Magistrate.
     Mr. Alex Pope, Gent., of the City of Waterford, is sworn into the Office of Master of Chancery, for said City, by a Commission issued for that Purpose.
     We have an account by the last Packet, that on Wednesday the 7th inst. died at Clifton [England] the Hon. Lady Harriet Fitzgerald, third Daughter of the most noble Marquis of Kildare.

     On Saturday last, died universally lamented, Magrath Fergus, Doctor of Physic, Son of the late celebrated John Fergus, Doctor of Physic. As this young Gentleman gave early Proofs of the greatest Genius, Assiduity, and Charity in his Profession, eminently possessed every social Virtue, and exemplary filial Piety in particular, the Loss of such a Friend to the Public, such an Ornament to his Profession, and such a Comfort to his Family, is easier conceived than expressed.
