The following is an extra& of a Letter from an Officer at Cairo, dated the z4th of Oelober ; giving an account of the ceremony of invefting Sir RICHARD BicaraTom, and feveral other Naval Officers, with the Ottoman Imperial Order of Kpighthood, the Crefcent 14 On the morning of the Bth, the Admiral ac companied by the lurki(h Admiral of the Gallies, and fuite, and thole Of f icers of the Navy who had been particularly feldted, proceeded from Gene ral Hurt Fl MON s tent, to the tent of his Highnefs the CAPTAIN PACHA, and were received by the whole Turki(h line, under arms, with mufic play ing and colours flying. When we alighted and approached the tent (which was open in the front) we obferved the CAPTAIN PACHA feated upon a molt magnificent fopha, attended by the PACHA of EGYPT, the Chief General of his Highnefs's army, and the Reis EFFFN9I. The three latter were feated on the fame fopha, and rofe at our approach, but his Highnefs received us fitting. We were placed in cha l ks on each tide of the fopha; the Admiral on the right of the CAPTAIN PACKA.— The General Officets of the Turkith army and natty ftood at the back of our chairs, behind them were ranged his Highnefs's retinue, arrayed in their different badges of diftinEtion, and round the tent in front were drawn up his Body Guard. His Highnefs was dreffed in a white robe of beautiful Persian fain, over which was the robe of Rate, worn only on particular occafions, made of the fineft red cloth, and on it was placed, be low the break, two Aigrettes of large diamonds ; and in a fah of rich Patin, round his waift was fixed a dagger, the handle of which was fo thickly co vered with diamonds, as to render it impoffible to difcover of what other materials it was made. On his head he wore a fuperb turban, with rows of pearls placed on the different folds. His rich drefs, his venerable appearance, having a very long black beard, which be was continually ftroking, altogether Made a molt inrerefting figure. The other Grandees that were feated on the fame fopha, were as magnificently dreffed, in all rerpetis, cepting the red robe. Having been ferved with coffee and fweatmeats, according to cuftom, the ceremony began by his Highnef invefting the Admiral with a Pelice, the ' Star and Red Ribband, and Medal of the Order of the Crefcent, all of which being properly ar ranged, he was defired to kneel, at which time the Grand Seignior's Firman was read, impower ing his Higlinea to confer the honour of Knight ' hood, which was immediately performed on the Admiral, upon whore riling a Royal falute was fired, and other demonftrations of fatisfaftion, agreeable to the Turkiih cnitom. The Star is molt beautifully let with diamonds, and the Pelice is valued at goof.

This was an anion for money had and received to the Plaintiff's are. The Plaintiff, who is a fo reigner, aired in the capacity of Vice•Conful at 'Algiers, and having confiderable claims on the Britifh Government, he came over to this coun try to have thefe claims liquidated. The Defen• dant, who reprefented himfelf as an agent or broker, got introduced to him, and having perfuaded him that he had great intereft at the Treafury, pre vailed on him to fuffer him to ad as his broker or agent. It appeared that he had had frequent conferences and been various times at the Trea fury, in order to get the accounts paired. While engaged in this purfuit, he wrote a letter to the Plaintiff, requefting that he would fend him a draft on his banker for one .hundred pounds, it being neceffary to fee the clerks in the Treafury, and that he would account with him for it. The Plaintiff, after prefenting a petition and memorial, at length got an order patted for part of his de mand to the amount of I roof. and upwards ; of this fum, however, he did not chute to take more than 2801. fo much being necelfary for his imme diate wants, and let the refidue Hay in the hands of Government till the whole rtf his claims were fettled. thefe amounted to 4ocol. and upwards. He fought by this adion to recover back the tool. which he alledged had been unjuttly obtained. The Defendant Rated, that the Plaintiff was in debted to him in a greater fum than tool. for the fervices which he had rendered him, as it was by his intereft the order was made for the payment of the t tool. To prove this, he called feveral wit neffes, who Rated, that they had feen the Defen dant employed in the Plaintiff's affairs for a con fiderable length of time. To firengthen this evi dence he produced a written agreement, figned by both parties, in which the Plaintiff engaged to al low the Defendant the fum of ten per cent. for all the money he fhould recover. His Counfel con tended that this inftrurnent was legal, and confe quently the Defendant was entitled to a balance for the fum recovered. Lord At VANLEY was clearly of opinion the in ftrument was not binding, and cenfured the de mand of ten per cent. as being exorbitant. He did not perceive any fervices which had been ren dered by the Defendant. The Jury were to de termine on the quantum meruit P. The Jury found a verdiZt for the Plaintiff for 391. 135. allowing the Defendant fi ve per cent. on the fum received .- MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS, JAN. 21.

AYLESBURY QUARTER SESSIONS, JAN. ts. DIANE V. THE OVERSEERS OF CLEAT MALLOW AND OTHERS. This fuit excited confiderable intereft. It was brought to determine whether it was not the boun den duty of pariat officers to rate Rock in trade for the relief of the poor ? The parifh officers of Great Marlow, in June rated Rock in trade to the relief of the poor ; and fcveral appeals were made agairill their rate at the Michaelmas feflion. According to the cußom of the Court (and we believe of other county Courts) the eau t prokat G, in cafes of appeal, lies ;with the appellants. In this inflance, howe ver, the cußom was reverted ; and the parifh offi cers were called upon to jollity their rate, by prov ing that the Rock in trade of each perfon was fully equal to the turn at which they had altelfed it.— It was admitted, on all fides, that Rock in trade was rateable by law ' • but it was aliened by the appellants' Counfel, that it was imprasfticable to carry that law into execution : unlefs tradetmen themfelves would voluntarily come forward and give an account of their Rock. The proof re quired of the parifh officers proved infufficient to eftablifh the amount of flock in fevcral cafes, though effeanal in others ; and the Court ordered the various charges on Rock in trade to be (truck out of the rate altogether. By this decifion the main queftion was left undetermined ; and the prefent fuit was brought by a parifhioner againft the officers, to oblige them to !hew caufe, why they had not inferted in their fubfequent rate filch Rock in trade as was proved to exifi ? Mr. BF9T, as Coward for the Plaintiff; Paid, that flock in trade was rated to the relief of the poor in London. That it was alto rated at Brißol, Nor wich, Exeter, and all the great commercial towns, for the relief of their retpeftive poor. That the county of Buckingham poffefted a confiderable in land trade and tome important branches of mann faaure, particularly in paper and lace ; but that the trade of this rich and populous county did not contribute one penny piece to the relief of the poor. The whole of this very heavy burden fell upon the land, and had increafed the price of it to the cultivator fo materially, as to influence, in no (mall degree, the price of the abloltue need faries of life. It was proved that the land in the parill of Great Marlow let, twenty years ago, from eight to twelve shillings an acre. The poors rates were then, eosin Noah five !killings in the pound, • • that is from 25. to 35. an acre : the land t!.erefore coil the farmers from los. to gs. an acre, relit and poor Rtes. At prefent the rents have been advancett,:by the , landlords to 15s. and 255• an acre, andi thy pools rates are zos. in the pound and upwards, on thufe advanced ruts, 16 that the very lame lands which were hired only twenty years hack from tos. to ifs. rent and pouts rates, now colt the cultivators from 3os to 50s an acre. This was an advance of about 300 per cent. and was chiefly owing to the increate of poors rates ; which fell the heavier upon the land, as the trade of the county did not participate in bearing a kilt and equitable proportion of the burden. Mr. BEST argued, that the prefent high price of provifions, though exorbitant, was not lb MO, in proportion as the rife which had taken place in the hire of land; and that if new and improved modes of culture had not been of late years difeovered, and much larger capitals employed than ever w e re before in the amelioration of lands, yieleilir na. turally an indifferent produce, there is great t ea fon to believe, that the price of provitions would have been Rill higher. This, however, he was fearful, might be averred with certainty, that whilft the land continued fo burdened, (tor the cafe of Marlow was far from angular) it would be vain to entertain any hopes of teeing the price of the neceffaiies of life return to its former flan dard. It had been too much the praCtice of lase, lie laid, for people to let their faces againft tarm crs, whilst they thought that trade and manufac. tures could not be too much favoured ; but the farmer WAS in reality a manufadturer, and the land WAS his raw material : nay more, his was the firlt and molt effential of our manufactures, fince all the rest depended upon it. If thii primary pro cefs is clogged by impolitic burdens, if the article does not come neat to the confumer, free from all charge, impuft, intermediate profit, from every expence l in lhort, not abfolntely =diary, the bad efted is not confined to the manufacturer, but is felt and extended to the whole political fyftem. If any fpecies of manufaCture ought to claim ex. emption from public burdens, it is that called farm ing ; but in this county, a policy direCtly hoftile to common fenfe prevailed : for here farming alone was faddled with the whole burdens of the pro vince, %chilli every other fpecics of trade and ma nufaCture was exonerated. No wonder then, that the farmer found his raw material had r ifen upon him to the enormous height of 300 per cent. and that it was utterly impoffible for him to bring his article to market on the fame terms he had done formerly. Mr. Barr obferved, that the county rates were always paid out of the poors rates. It. was ob vious, therefore, that it was not the maintenance of the poor alone, but the adminiltration of juf tice ; in short, all the expences and calanOties that befel the province, which were charged upon the farmer. Here, however, he mull explain himfelf; it was far from his intention to fay that the farmer paid thole taxes • it was evident that they were brought to marketi with his produce, and there, paid by the confumer. This was in reality a tax upon bread ; and far better would it be for the public, if the tax was laid upon the bread as it carte out ofthe baker's oven, than that it [tumid be collated in the pi efent indireCt and more ruinous way. If the invention of man was employed for the exprefs purpofe of doing mifchief, it could not mote ef kEtually fulfil that purpofe than by fuch a mode of taxation. It was a load which preffed like an incubi,: on the heart and vital circulation of the body politic, and which, if removed from thence, and placed equally upon the fhoulders of the peo ple, would be borne with cafe and alacrity; for this country poffeffed a degree of matchlefs Herculean ftrength that aftoniihed the raft of Europe ; but . it was the molt wretched policy to burden her, where the lighteft load mull inevitably prove gall ing and oppreftive. Our correspondent proferes himfelf incapable of following Mr. Belt through the particulars of a long fpecch, which, for elocution and argument, furpalred any that he had ever heard before within thofe walls. He concludes by obferving, that the plaintiff was ordered to be paid his coils of fuit. The parifh officers, who profeffed themfelves pofed to follow the with of the Court, and Paid they were willing to tax flock in trade, were or dered to refrain from 'fo doing till next feffion, when tome new objections made by the parties rated, or liable to be rated, are to be fully heard, and a final decifton obtained on this important bufinefs.
