O'PARTCRi Of THE LORD LIEUTENANT. Dublin, Monday livening. This morning the LORD LIRUTRNANT held an un dies' levee, which was excessively crowded. The cid oi Disblin first presented themselves at the Castle at tell o'clock with the address, which was prepared by persons of all ranks and religious persuasions, to testify their respect for the Loan Lints/farm and their deep regret upon his departure. In the crowd which thronged in the avenues of the Castle, were a number of military Officers in full unif rm, who appeared extremely anxious to press on with the civic cortege, to pay their respects to so distinguished and gallant a member r t their pro fession. " Upon enteting the drawing room, his Excellency received them standing in front of a semi-circle of offi tial dignitaries. Oa his right stood the Lord Chancellor, and Lord F. ancis L. Gower ; neat them was Lord Plunkett, the Lord Chief Justice Bu.he, the other Judges," and the Attorney and Solicitor Generals. The Marquis of Anglesey was dressed in a blue frock coat and white trousers, and in the most gracious manner received the deputation, which consisted of the following N hlremen and Gentlemen— Duke of Leinster Earl of XliMows ksrl of lluwth Earl of Portarlington Earl of GlengaU Earl of &edits Earl of Landaff Viscount ("meats Lord Cloneurry Lard lanmorris Hoe.

Esq. • " The L.nd L eutenant immediately delivered the Vl lowing answer to the address. which was read by the Rev. Edward Groves. a Clergyman of the Established Church : " The Noblemen, Gentlemen, Freemen, and inhabitants of the City of Dublin engage my warmest gratitude by their address. " It was one of the main objects of my administration of the government of this country to lead the way to an equitable adjust. meat of all differences, by showing to all classes of Irishmen, that loyalty to their King, obedience to the law, and kindly feeling and forbearance towards each other, would afford the surest guarantee that a duo attention would be paid to every other important object attainable by legal and constitutional means • and I quit the shores of Ireland with the less regret, inasmuch salt have seen those views partly accomplished- By concurrent testimony, public tranquillity has been restored, —commerce has been revived,—industry stimulated,—and em ployment thereby in a considerable degree provided fur the labour ing classes. • 1 I therefore most confidently hope that the same means which have produced these happy results will continue to be exercised. " Neat to the gratihcatlon which this will afford to me In my re tiretnent, will be the remembrance of the generous construction put upon my cor.duct by the inhabitants of Dublin, and I take my leave of them with sibeere regret hut Ido not, and never can, relinquish the interest I feel in their happiness and in the prosperity of the kingdom and capital of Ireland." is At the conclusion his Excellency's voice faltered. and he appeared deeply affeceds He afterwards stoke in friendly and familiar terms with the Host. It 'best King, M.P. (neplew of Lord Lorton), Mr. J. D. I.d. toliche, and several other Gentlemen, who took leave csf him; and his Lordship was pleased to say, that he • would certainly take an early opportunity in his private . capacity of paying those visits to his friends in various pats of the country, which unexpected circumstances rendered it impossible for him to do at the time he had originally intended. " The levee continued till past twelve o'clock, and bringing up the rear in the cortege were the Lord . Mayor and Sheriffs, and some of the members of the C rrporation. As the levee broke up the appearance of the streets became extraordinary. The soldiers of the gar rison were drawn out in single files, and reached from the Castle to the point near Kingstown, where the Marquis of Angle.ey embarked, a distance of near seven . miles. The multitude poured forth along the whole line of road, and not a hedge or a window was unoccupied. It • a. a crowd compo.ed of all classes. " As the clock struck twelve the Marquis of Angle sey took his leave of the Castle. When he appeared in the vreets the sh..u:s were deafening, and he seemed deeply affected by this exhibition of popular feeling. .• 'The vide on a beautitul blood how, sui rfunded hi a body of military officers, most of then, weartng W4rerloq m-dale.

THE WEATHER —So tar as We 0001 d judge by our feelings, lag night was one of the coldest that we have experienced fini,semon. It was, indeed, generally anticipated that oho dense ' fug. we bad a day or two ago would be followed by hard frog.— in the greets, and every wiser.. Ice is common and 'IIIIIDISTREIHISD INHABrTA NTS°, SPITALFIELDS The poverty and misery in Spitalfields ate dreadful In the extreme. A deputation from the unfortunate weavers, who are out of employment, waited upon the LORD MAYOR two days ago, for the purpose of soliciting Ms Lordship's advice in this awful extremity ; and yesterday, at his Lord ship's desire, one of the principal Ulcers of the parish called upon him to acquaint him with the actual condition of the poor in that extensive and industrious district. He assured the Lord Mayor that the wretchedness of the unemployed mechanics was almost incredible. The Parish Authorities bad been o►liged, in order to relieve the craving necessities of 2,400 individuals, to borrow a sum of money upon the approaching assessment. Some idea might be formed of the condition of the population of *Wallah from a knowledge of the fact, that there were at that moment no fewer than 600 looms now vacant. A parish so indigent, and so immensely populous, was quite unable to support such an over whelming demand upon its resources. The LORD MAYOR desired the Parish Meer to mention to the Rector, and the other Authorities of the Parish, his wish to see I l them on Friday next, In order to consuk with them upon, the most effectual means of administering relief. It was mentioned Inci dentally, that apprehensions were entertained that the greater part of the trade of Spitallields would be permanently transferred to Maccle*Seld, and oth.-r towns, where the commodity is to be worked on terms reconcilable with the state of the trade. In the event of such a change, the destitute condition of Spitalfields would be incapable of any improvement or amelioration. The course supposed to be likely to be advised, for the relief, is the usual one of a Public Meeting, and :lee proposal of some general measure for encouraging the Spital6elds manufacture. It is probable also that the Lord Mayor will apply to the Corpos ration for a second loan of the Guildhall, for a Concert in aid of the funds, which the urgent necessity of the case requires should at once be attempted to be raised. The readiness with which the Chief Magistrate undertakes to aid, on all occasions which call for the public sympathy, is highly honourable to him, and confirms the exalted opinion entertained of him by his fellowaratixens. TH ri - VtA IUER, GLASGOW, JAIIIIMIT 20. The weather has become very severe; the frost yes terday was very keen ; the thermometer about 14 deg. below the freezing pnint at mid-day in this city. The , barnmetlr is high, and the atmosphere appear sealed fur a Listing trot. DUM FRIES, JANUARY 20. Alter a fortnight of very moderate frost, which dried the ground, cleared the ditches, enabled the husband man to cart manure, checked the young wheats where inclining to get spindly, gave the sheep a dry and kindly bed, whether on the hills, or hemmed in by flecks, feasting on turnips, the weather has as length set in with rigour. Yesterday, in fact, was the first truly wintry thy we have had; and it was curions to mark the change that had occurred within the lapse of ■ very few hours. Early in the morning everything was while, not excepting the house tops; and long after the sun h tis n, the " c anrenc h call " lay thick and un• broken on many a field. In the gardens, the ornamental shrubs and bush• s looked like as many Misses going to a Ball, and not all the peruquiers in the wsuld could have twisted their locks into so many fairy forms and shapes. While Ct.ffel is nearly bare of snow, Queens berry has got his wig well powdered, and as the storm came upon us when the moon was full, it is likely ro be of some continuance. Last night her Ladyship looked down (in a war sublime scene, and her beams as they flickered far and wide—reflected every where from a sheeny expanse of prodigious magnitude—seemed to p rur forth a double portion of light. At an early hour the Curlers were all busy getting their stones, brooms, and tramps in order, and although the ice was rather weak, many a bunspeil was contested with admirable skill and spirit. To-day again they are busy with their "roaring play," and as they appear to be calculating on a long lease tif their favourite sport, the butchers as well as the gardeners will profit by the increased con sumption of beef and greens. The whiskey merchants, 101, will get rough of custom, and if the storm last long i s effects will be felt in the returns of next quarter's revenue! WINE AND SPIRIT' TRADE. Yesterday a Meeting of the Gentlemen connected with the above trades was held at the Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane. QUARIAS HARRIS, junior, Esq. was called to the Chair, and stated, that at the last Meeting it was de cided that a Provisional Committee should be appointed for the formation of a Permanent Committee to repre sent the wine and spirit trades; the report of that Com mittee he would now tead. It stated that every im portant branch of c. , snmerce was represented by an assucia.ed b , dy, but in the wine and spirit trades, which were constantly ezosed to legislative e. actmeots, no such Association ezi ted for supporting the ii.floence of the tsaile, which was more especially called tir, as confere. ces with his Majesty's Government were highly necessary at times. to uphold its interests—and could only be propeily effected by such an association. It was proposed that a Committee should now be elected, con silting of Gentlemen in the wine and spirit trades, corn psehending those immediately connected .rich the various w ine couritties, as well as wine and spirit brisker, with the view of seciiiing due representation of the interests both at home and abroad. _ _ Mr. Moores. although he had a greet respect for the ine and spirit broker ►, conceived that their introduc tion was unnecrser). The CHAIRMAN interposed. and said the brokers, being intimately connected with the trade, arid its adopted children, as it were, he chi ught the M eting could not do better than avail itself of the talents and ea etience of the brokers. Objection might as well be taken to the foreign wine merchants alluded to in the same paragraph with the brokers. AIr.WYLDR defended the brokers, and said, to them alone did Parliament look, when any information was required regirding the minutia: of the trade. Alter some conversation, the recommendations of the Provisional Committee, for establishing a permanent Association. were agreed to. Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and the Meeting adjourned to the first week in February, when the Members of the Association are to be appointed. Messes. BOOTH and COPELAND, the present Sheriffs of London opJ Middlesex, have discovered a disposition to malutoin the dignity of their office with becoming splenAnt fet i d hospitality, and have also given proof of their cfffrilable feelings towards' the unfortunate and distressed, by granting supplies of koala and clothing to•the poor prisoners, with a liberality which hai es deeded that of any of their predecessors. - Foe —About eleven o'clock last night a fire broke out at Mr. Bank's, a sugar baker, corner of Little Dis tiff-lane, Doctors' Commons. The watchmen had ob served the smoke some time before, and sprung their rattles. without being able to awaken the inmates, or to get admittance. This being obtained at last, and the fire making rapid progress, a great number of hogsheads at sugar were removed to the streets adjoining. The !Limes continued till six o'clock this morning, not* ith -goading the exertions of the firemen from the different Offices, and a plentiful supply of water, but the progress of the conflagration was stopped from extending to the adjoining houses. To 4sturseine of property in the pre mises in which the, fire originated must have been great, as the whole of . the inside and its contents were consumed. LAW INTELLIGiNCH. COURT OP KING'S BENCH, 1 -ASSAM 21. Beare Lord Tsitesasse and a Spada! Jury. DREWRY E. BARRIS. This was an action by the executor of a Gentleman named Armitage. agai .at the defendant, as clei k or trea surer of the Commissioners appointed by the Act of Par. liament for paving a certain district of the parish of S.. P.ul, Shad well, for a false return to a writ of aupirdangto. It appeared that the Commissioners had, ill __•ny yews ago, borrowed of Mr. Armitage a sum of NIX for the purposes of the Act. The interest was regular ly paid until the 'ear 1802, about which time Mr. Armitage died, and the plaintiff became his executor. No intetest haying been paid since that time, the plaintiff, alter filing a bill in Chancery. obtained lion) the Court of King's Reach a writ of ftandamrs to compel the Commissioners to pay the principal money and interest. The return madr to that writ was—first, that the money was not due; secondly. that it had been paid; thirdly, that tie Com missioners were possessed of no funds; and lovably, that they had no authority to pay. lt was now cow tended for the Commissioners that payment ought to be [smarmed from the long time that had elapsed. For the plaintiff, however, it was urged, that twenty years had not elapsed from the passing of the general act of the 50th of the late King. till the demand for payment made in the year 1825, and that toe presumption of payment was destroyed by the circumstance r f the debt being tegularly entered in the Commissioner,' books. Vetd.ct for the plaintiff—Damages, 3001. Befute Lord TENTERDZII and Common Juries. MARTINEAU v. SMITH. This WAS an action on a promissory note fir 1 900/. payable by instalments. The note purpot led to be made by the defendant, a farmer at Hertford, and his son in law, George Edwards, an attorney at St. Alban's. The plaintiff, a banker at S.. Alban's, bad accommodated Edwards wi.h the loan of a large sum of money, and the note in question was given by him as a security to the plaintiff, who on receiving it, delivered up son:a other securities which he had previously held. 'limn to was dated the 2d of August, 1827. Some r.f the instal menu had been paid, and the plaintiff now claimed a balance of 8471. for principal and interest. The action was defended on the ground that the signature to the note WAS not in the handwa sting of the defendant, who had received no consideration for the note. Several witnesses fur the plaintiff spike to their belief that the signature was in the handwri ing .•f the d fendant. The wttttes•es for the defendant (six in number) believed that the sig. nature was not written by the defendant. o.e of them said it was nothing like the character of the defendant's handwriting, but two or three others said it was a very good imitation. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 8471. MARTINEAU V. EDWANDS. This was an action, by the same plaintiff, to recover a balance cif 1.2544 6s. 2d. on the tame note, and another for 4101. There was no defence. Pronf of the d tent.- ant's (George Edwards) handwriting being given, a vet dict was entered for the plaintiff. Sittings before Mr. Justice Baraar, Mr. Justice larmanaLs, and Sir JAMBS PARKS. OODWIN V. ROIIIIITS. This action, which wie tried befo,e Mr. Justice PArk at the last D. rchester Assizes, was to recover the value of a bill of exchange. alleg.'d by the pl rintiff to have been by hm accepted for the accommodation of the de fendant. From the not sof the trial, it appeared that the plaintiff's brother swore that the defendant ad mitted to him that the bill was an accommodation bil ; and that he had asked for a loan s.f SOL to assist him rte taking it up. To falsify this. a letter in the handwriting of the plaintiff himself was produced, expressing-his re glet that he could not p .y the bill which wasthen abootio become due, but poetising to pay pats immed.a lel y, and some more in a month. The pl sn u ff then called It e Sheriffs' officer, who swore that the defendant, on being wrested, said that he knew he owed the motley. The Jury, upon this evidence, found for the plaintiff Last term, a rule Nisi was obtained t , r a new tend, on the ground that the evidence of the Sheriffs' officer came upon the defendant by surprise, and that it was false. In support I f this, the defendant, and two persons who mere present. swore th.t the defendant, on being se. rested, said that she plaintiff was a great rogue for having arrested him, as he ( he plaintiff). owed him money. Mr. Sergeant E. LAWS; now appealed to orpose, and Mr. Eat.' and Mr. Ilmtarlw to support, the ruse. The Cowry were of opinion, that vie case ought to be again submitted to a Jury, anJ thettfine made the rule ab,o!ute. The four Judges sit in bona. to-morrow (this doy), and take cases in the new trial paper. COURT OF COMMON PLRAS, JAM. CI. LANZ V %MILKY AND OTHERS. This was a Special Jury cause, hut only siz Jurymen answered to their names; the remainder were fined in the mitigated penalty I f 101. each; a tales was then prayed, and the c.,use proco eded. One of tioe Jurymen afterward. entered the Conti, and asked to be eztu ed, on t . e ground of being d. tained on very urgent business. The LORD CHIRP JU-TICC said that his attendance in Court was the more urgent, as the parties were put to a very serious inconvenience by the non•attendance of special Jurymen, but he woulJ this time take that 'scone. His Lordship afterwards fined the summoning officer in the penalty of 40s. for not being present at the sitting of the Coml. This action was brought by the plaintiff, formerly secretary to the Imperial Distillery Company, to recover the amount of his salary for nine months, at the rate of 5001. per annum, from the defendants, who were share holders. The names of Mr. P. M0.0.e and John Willis, jun. stood as Directors in this Association. There was great difficulty to prove the facts in this ease, some letters not being evidence unless stamped. The LORD CHIEF Juarscs observed, that he was de sirous that all the laws relating to stamps were repealed. Ia the course of his eapetience he had known them to work more injustice than any other acts of the Legis• lature. Mr. Sergeant TADDY submitted that the plaintiff had not proved his case. The Luau Cum Justus said he must call ups* 'him fur a defecce. lithe proprietors had succeeded is their golden dreams, the defendatts, as shareholders, would have ezpected a share. Where a person specs. lated in such bubbles to obtain great profits, he ought also to take his chance in the loss; but he (the Lord Chief Justice) wished he could make the directors, who had held themselves out as decoy-ducks to entice rie public into these speculations, pay the salaries of the servants of the company. Mr. Sergeant TADDIN in defence, stated that . _ should prove that the defendants were 'arced out of the Company by the plaintiff, in consequence of the di-fondants not advancing the third instaleseot of 51. per shwa In eamehasioa, tba Loathed Counsel said it was possible to let posterity know the serioos is jury their aocestors bad sustained by these babbles, which hid now happily boost He urishoti . be wild 'have it writtea on the mountains of Peril gni M.1:01 And all other places there these bubbles had extended heir baneful influence: and he wished he coulJ all clerks and *ecretarir*, together with the directors, .0 follow the Lord Mayor's show, that posterity might .feriJe inch infamous undertakings. The letter watt then put in and read, N hich stated, that if the de tentlints did n. .t tome forward and pay the it:. stalments of 51. per share, they would abandon all tut re-t, at cot ding to the deed of cowing ership. and would hot b: et titled to any profits arising from the Tech' ttion in which the Company was engaged. Mr. Serg , ant WILDS in reply sail, that tt.e defence would not assist the defendants. The Directo.s had not cat vied the threats usr d in the letter into execution, and the, .fore the defendants were not te.eased Iron their liability ; that had been decided by this Court many years since, and therefore his client had a rig' t to their verdict. The LORD CUM JUSTICa said. this was merely a case of partnership. Every partner was liable to the debts of the concern. The question was, were these persons partners? It appeared they hector) e share holders in the middle of June, 1825. and if this veto. Winn had gone on prosperously, they would have been entitled to a share of the profits during the time they (Anoint" d partners. Fur the defence it was alleged that the shares were forfeited ; but as the law stair d, it the other partners waved the right of forfeiting the shays, then the defendants remained pastor IN. If the JNry the tight the defendants were partners. then the ietdiet must be fur the plaintiff; but if. on the contrary, the D.,ectors enforced the partnership deed, then the de. lenslants must have the benefit of their decisir n. The Jury, after deliberaiing a few minutes, asked the ,Lord Chief Ju Lice several questions, which teing an. sleeted. they again consul ed, and returned a verdict I r the plaintiff.— Damages 3751. PF.DLIT tJ. WILLCSLLT. M.. Sergeant Cunha and Mr. IiII..DRICIC appeared for the plaintiff. The Emmet rtatrd that tins was an actei.n brought to mover a sum of money ...compensation foe services performed by the plaintiff f r the defendant, inn. procuring the attendance t f witne•ses, aid in obtainer g evidence relating to the appeal in which Mr Wellesley was cum din the H •use of Lords. The Jury *mold probably ri collect, that in the early part of t.te la t year, Mr. Wellesley a as engaged in an important litiga. Pon in the Court of Chancery, in which t! e Lord Chan cel!• r had give.. judgment against him. Front that judge meat Mr. W. had thought proper to sppe rl to the House if Lords; acrd when his case was remove) 'Whet, he lime:tied to suppose that he would be allowed to adduce new evidence upon it. To do this it was nesessai y for him to collect the testiniony of p. rsoris resident in London and in Paris, and for that purpose he requited t , ,e assi .IROCC of 4 man in the habit of fp viewing both these cities. Such a person he brand in the plaintiff, who was an Engl shoran, but who had been catty ing on trade in Paris as a manufactnier of minetal waters. He the broth. r of two persons who had long car• ieJ on the same business in Lood.in. Mi. Wellesley applied to the plaintiff to come over to th s cou.itty. a requisition with which be immediately complied. and on his rrival here Ire went to a hiuse occupied by Mrs. Bligh, in Biker-street. where he met Mr. Welles. ley. Mrs. high, Mt• Powell. their Solicitor. and Colonel Paterson, the father of Mrs. Bligh. The fit at thing these parties did was to hold a conteresce together as to the cour e to be pursued ; and it was arranged that the plaintiff should sleep in Colonel Pat. rot n's house that night. and should go off the next morning to f Cols Mrs. Scott from Peri . He did so, anif intro eshwely returned with her to this count! y.

'Wellesley. It was to recover s. me compensa. ton for these services and this bitable, that the present action was in.tituted. The defend .nt alight say that he had reaped no I enafit fonm these services, for that he as not stiffesei to give fresh evade' ce in the flo ise of Lords; and that although he had a.teurpted to turn ,that ev:dence to account in an indictm nt be had pse. rr. d at. the sessions, Le had tailed in doing so, as the that d Jury threw out the bill. This de vice, how. eser, was no answer to the plaintoff's demand; that demand would be proved from the enemy's quarters, but he had no doubt he should be able to make ut his C 45e. Colonel Pate, son was rut into the box, and he prem. d that the plaint•ff had peilitrined the rervice► stated; but from the Colonel's evidence it appeased that be had himself given the detections to the plaintiff, and had paid him money on account of the expenses incurred. That money had, in two instances, been repaid him by his daughter. She was at that time living in the same house with Mr. Wellesley. llie money was paid to wit• ness in a dressing-reborn adjoinii•g Mr. Welle,ley's bed• room.

The plaihtiff always received hib directions and money from witness. Mr. Wellesley never ante' (net! in the m.rter. Mr. Sergeant Caoss directed the Geier of the Court to call Helen Bligh, otherwise Well sley. Mr. Sergeant WILDS asked Colonel Paterson,whether he had not been present at his daughter's marriage to Mr. Wellebley, Colonel Paterson answered in the affirmative, and added, that the marriage took place in Nov. last. Mr. Sergeant WILDI objected, that a wife could not be admitted to give evidence against her husband. Mr. Sergeant Carus said, she had received her sob• cena before this marriage,and it could not be pee mitied to one party to deprive another of a witness, by marry-, ing her in the mean time—(Laughter). Ttie LORD CUM JUSTICe thought it was not very likely that many witnesses would be withdrawn from causes in that manner—(Continued laughter). Mr. BRODRIOIC said, there had been a case in which the Court held, that an underwriter, who had acquired' an interest in a policy subsequent to receiving his sub• pans, was still liable to be examined ass witness iu the cause—(Loud laughter). The LORD Cam Jusuce could not conceive that there was any resemblance between a wife and as derwriter, and he should reject the evidence.
