Brodigau, of Pilltown, near Drogheda, against the pro posed duty on native tobacco, has been forwarded to Mr. O'Connell for presentation. It is universally admitted the intended duty is prohibitory : we regret this, as it impedes the course of national improvement, by limiting employment. In the neighbourhood of Drogheda, the culture was about to extend. The example of Mr. Bro digan on his estate would have induced some of his te aantry, and the respectable landholders of his vicinity, to engage in the cultivation, but for the uncertainty of the law ; and in Louth, Mr. M'Clintock was about to en gage in planting tobacco to promote the employment of the poor around him. lie witnessed the operations of Mr. Brodigan last season, and became impressed with the advantage of the culture. We also understand that Mr. L. Foster, the county member, Sir P. Bellew, Bart. Mr. W. *Neal, and Mr. *Allister, were also about to in troduce it on their respective properties ; but the high rate of duty will extinguish their efforts. Also, the Rev. Hugh Usher Tighe, of Drogheda, was about to introduce it on his property in Westmeath. We extract the follow ing passages from the petition forwarded by Mr. Brodi gan. He states that " One hundred millions of lbs. of native tobacco require 100,000 English acres of land for their production, and 500,000 persons of different ages for their management and cultivation for nearly six months of the year, embracing the curing process. That allowing five persons to each family, and two persons, old or young, from each, whose labour, in the present state of the Irish poor, would support the rest, we have 250,000 families supported, or a total of 1,250,000 per sons. That the cost of labour and preparation is nearly 151. per acre, which gives a total of 1,500,0001. annually distributed amongst an unemployed population. Peti tioner, therefore, respectfully submits the great advan tages that must arise from such a diffusion of capital; it will give a new impulse to industry, create a new demand for labour, revert through several channels to the public treasury, and spread peace and comfort where now all is poverty and barrenness. That to justify the proposed duty of Is. Bd. per lb. to be levied on native tobacco, it has been stated, the revenue has sustained a severe loss in Ireland by suffering Irish tobacco to pass uncharged. That is disproof of such assertion, petitioner begs leave to refer to the return made to your Hon. House on the 25th ult. which exhibits a steady increase on duty paid on tobacco in Ireland for the last four years, during which time the culture of Irish tobacco has taken its rise ; and it is, therefore, evident no loss has been sustained by the public revenue in Ireland by the substitution of native for foreign tobacco in domestic consumption." IRISH NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTIES. On Sunday, pursuant to requisition, a highly respect able meeting of the inhabitants of Galway took place at the ball-room of Kilroy's Hotel, to take into considera tion the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposed augmen tation of the stamp duty. Valentine Blake, of Menlo Castle, Esq. J.P. John Ireland, Esq. J.P. P. M. Lynch, of Kenmore, Esq. Nicholas Lynch, of Bama, Esq. James Lynch, Eeq. James Joyes, Esq. T. J. Blake, Esq. and Mark Lynch, Esq. took part in the proceedings. Spirited resolutions were adopted by the meeting, and a petition against the new duties unani mously adopted.—Connaught Journal. The meeting at Cashel on Monday was very numer ously and most respectably attended ; Matthew Pennefa ther, Esq. in the chair. The most cordial feeling ex isted, and gentlemen of opposite political opinions enter tained but one sentiment on the gross impolicy of the threatened increase of taxes on this already overbur dened country. Before the meeting separated, a requi sition to the High Sheriff was set on foot for a county meeting, which was signed by Colonel Pennefather and other highly respectable gentlemen.— Clonntel Adver tiser. The Earl of Glengall, not knowing that a requisition for a county meeting was in progress, has strongly recommended this patriotic step.—lbid. The requisition for the approaching meeting at Car rick-on-Suir is signed by Lord Duncannon, Messrs. 31. Cox, C. W. Wall, T. E. Lalor, D. Osborne, H. Briscoe, J. Walsh, J. Kelly, L. H. Jephson, and upwards of thirty other highly respectable and influential gentlemen. —lbid. ARMAGH COUNTY MEETIwo.—The city of Ar magh was the first town in the north of Ireland to op pose the projects of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Primate of Armagh returned Mr. Goulburn to Par liament ; and the Primate's agent sat in the Chair when a petition was forwarded to the same Mr. Goulburn, with a request that he would present it to Parliament. The county of Armagh meets on Monday next, to petition against the alteration in the spirit duties ; Down, Antrim, and Derry, will follow the example ; all Ireland will shortly be up.—Newry Telegraph. Almost every town of any note in the kingdom has already assembled. Every barony and parish should be at their duty. The spirited parishioners of Maycullen meet on Thursday next. —Connaught Paper. TRADE.—At our market, on Saturday, there was no alteration from the week preceding worthy of being re ported. At Huddersfield, on Tuesday, a good deal of busi ness was done ; but no improvement in price. At Brad ford, on Thursday, we are happy to state, there was a tolerably brisk market. We are not aware, however, of any further advance in price ; but certainly it is not only wanted, but expected' with great confidence.—Halifax Chronicle. ADVANTAGES OF "A TIGHT FIT."-0110 evening this week, a singular method of swindling was success fully perpetrated in Leeds. The following are the par ticulars :—A soi-disant gentleman having taken up his quarters at an inn, proceeded to the shop of a bootmaker, and directed that he might be waited upon with a pair of boots, " rights and lefts," at a stated time. He then gave similar directions to another tradesman ; and has tened to his inn, to await the result, having so arranged that they should not come at the same time. Presently came tradesman No. 1. The boots were tried and ap proved, but the one for the right foot " fitted too tight," and the gentleman requested that it might be taken back, " stretched a little," and returned. This order was of course complied with—its fellow, " fitting to a hair," being left in the room. In a few moments, the second tradesman arrived. The operation of " fitting on" being gone through, the important discovery was made that the left boot was too strait, and the manufacturer was ordered "to get it altered a little" forthwith. He left the place for that purpose, and, in the mean time, the commercial traveller slipped on the two odd boots, and marched off with Lis boot-y ! Soon after, the two respectable trades men, who bad been thus duped, learned the trick that bad been played them ; and a wag observed, that in the one case the impudent rascal had committed a down right robbery; and in the other let had left nothing behind wherewith to con-sole the rightful owner.— Halifax Chronicle. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCELLOR'S CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAT 10. The Court was occupied by some motions of no interest during the day. It was understood to be his Honour's intention to hear motions twice a week during the term, as there is at present a considerable arrear. ROLLS' COURT, MAT 10. HUNLOCK V. CELL. This case came on for argument upon a point reserved for the consideration of the Court. It arose upon the construction of the will of the late Sir J. Hunlock, by whom powers of appointment and revocation had been given. The first power was a power of appointment to male issue ; the second to daughters, exclusive of sons ; and the third was a power to appoint the surplus of the accumulated rents to any child. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. BLUNT were heard for some of the parties, and Mr. BICICERSTETH and his junior for different interests. His HoNoy it, having beard the case, fully decided in favour of the power, as it existed upon the face of the will of Sir J. Hnnlock. His HONOUR intimated to Mr. TINNEY this morning, that he would not suffer the minutes of a decree to be re discussed, unless the whole were re-argued. The effect of such a course was, that the time of the Court was un necessarily occupied, because parties were unable to agree among themselves. His Honour directed the case to be re-argued. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 10. (Sittings In Banco.) IHMTON ALE CASE. REX V. BALDWIN AND CRADOCK. Mr. BROUGHAM reminded the Court that Mr. Camp bell had obtained, on behalf of the ale brewers of Burton on-Trent, a rule to show cause why a criminal informa tion should not be filed against the defendants as pub lishers of a certain Treatise on Brewing, in the work called " The Library of Useful Knowledge," in which treatise it was imputed to the complainants that they em ployed illegal ingredients in the manufacture of their ale. This the complainants had distinctly denied, and swore that they used only the legal ingredients of malt, hops, and water ; and he must say, in justice to them, that they had afforded every means in their power for inquiry, and had even opened their brewhouses for examination, which gave the best opportunity for inquiry, and had offered to submit their ale to any chemical test that might be required. The fact was, that the learned person who had written the treatise, had himself been a practical brewer for 20 years, and that he had been misled by a circumstance which was sufficient to mislead any one. He had stated, as the fact was, that he found it impossible to make ale of the flavour and quality of Burton ale, out of the three single ingredients of malt, hope, and water, and without the use, but in a harmless degree, of the articles which had been mentioned ; but he said that he could make ale of the flavour and quality of the ale in question, of certain saline ingredients—such as gypsum, for instance. Now, it so happened, that the springs at Burton-on-Trent, the water of which was used by the brewers, flowed over a rock of this substance, so that the ale was naturally impregnated with the saline ingredient. The writer of the Treatise not having been aware of this fact, was almost necessarily misled, but the circumstance fully accounted for the flavour and quality of the ale, without the use of any other ingredients than malt and hops and the water of the Burton Springs. It was agreed that this statement should be published in all future editions of the work, and on this undertaking and on making this statement in Court, it had been settled between his learned friend and himself that the rale should be discharged. Mr. CAMPBELL observed, that his clients had never entertained any hostility towards the honourable and learned persons who patronised this work. The whole of their object was to clear their own characters, and he had the affidavits of all the brewers of this article, and the affidavits of eminent chemists besides, to the fact that the complainants used nothing except malt, hops, and the water of these springs. His learned friend had very• handsomely stated, that these gentlemen had afforded every means and opportunity in their power for the fullest inquiry and examination, and the statement which he had made was quite satisfactory, and he hoped that the ale would circulate as extensively as the libel had done. Mr. BROUGHAM-4t might be proper to add, that the gypsum was not deleterious. Lord TEN Tannin—The lovers of Burton ale may now drink it without fear. Mr. BaousHare—ln moderation. Rule discharged. Statement agreed to be inserted in future editions of the Treatise on Brewing:— " The Committee of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, on occasion of this new edition of the Treatises on Brewing, desire to recall the attention of the readers to what was said of Burton Ale in the first edi tion. Soon after it was published, the Brewers of Bur ton-upon-Trent complained that they were misrepresent ed, and made affidavits that they used none of the illegal ingredients which the writer had recommended, and the use of which, they conceived, was imputed to them.— Upon these affidavits they applied to the Court of King's Bench, and subsequently laid before a Sub-Committee of the Society copies of the whole of their affidavits, in cluding the affidavit of an eminent chemist who had ana lysed the ale, and also the water front the springs in Burton. In addition to this, they offered to allow a che mist to be appointed by the committee to analyse the ale when brewed, and the water with which it was brewed, to show that nothing was to be found in the ale but what was also in the malt, hops, and in the springw of water from which they obtained their supply. The readers of the treatises, it is hoped, will perceive that it was not intended to accuse the brewers of using these ingredi ents ; and had it been suspected that there was anything deleterious in them, the use of them would not have been recommended, nor, at the same time, had the committee been aware of the evidence adverted to, would such direct allusion have been made to the ale brewed at Burton. " The Author of the Treatises has, however, himself often brewed with the ingredients alluded to, and, thereby, procured a flavour similarto what he is now informed the brewers of Burton-upon-Trent are able to procure from malt, hops, and pure water alone. Their method of doing so he confesses he does not know, otherwise he would have described it in the present work. While on this subject it may be remarked, that almost all the practices that have been adopted for the preservation of malt liquors were known from time immemorial in the brewing and cellarage of wine. Even those of which the brewers in Burton have felt so much fear of being suspected, were adopted among the Greeks and Romans. Honey has boon mixed with wine as well as with beer in all ages, and sulphate of lime, pounded rosin, and sea salt, are re commended by Palladins, an agricultural writer, who lived in the time of Mucus Antonine." JUDGMENT. HOISUALL V. PONTLIZOY. This was an action for goods sold and delivered.— The plaintiff had published a catalogue at Liverpool of certain lots of ivory to be sold by auction, on the terms that the purchaser should pay by good bill. on London at four months, to the satisfaction of the seller. The catalogue was sent to the defendant by his brokers,and he authorized them to purchase a lot for him, which they did, and sent him the ivory, and he accepted bills for them to the amount. The brokers failed, and then it appeared that the plaintiff had given them the ivory without de manding compliance with the terms specified. The plaintiff brought his action against the defendant for the price of the ivory, but was nonsuited, and applied for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, and the Court took time to consider. Lord TENTERDEN now observed, that the plaintiff had enabled the brokers to make the defendant believe that they had settled with him for the ivory, and he bad, therefore, accepted the bills of the brokers, and if the defendant should now be held liable to the plaintiff, he might have to pay the money twice over. The Court was, therefore, of opinion that the nonsuit was right.— Rule refused. NISI PRIUB. WOODBURN V. TROTTER. This was an action for an assault. The plaintiff was a son of Colonel Woodburn, a gentleman residing in So merietshire, and the defendant was a farmer in the same neighbourhood. The defendant called at Colonel Wood burn's house and saw the plaintiff, in whose presence he used very abusive language respecting the father. The plaintiff desired him to leave the house, and accompanied him to the door, and at the door the defendant gave him several violent blows, and the plaintiff gave the defendant one in return. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Ten Pounds. GREEN V. BARTRAM. This was another action for assault and also for false imprisonment. The defendant was a coachmaker, at' Whitechapel, and the plaintiff wrought for him. The de fendant had received 21. from another person, to be paid to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff called on the defendant to get this money and some other money which he owed him, and refused to go away without it. The defendant then called a watchman and gave him into custody, and the plaintiff was kept in the watch-house from Saturday night till Sunday night, when he gave bail for his appear ance before a Magistrate on the following day. He ap peared accordingly, but the defendant did not attend, and the plaintiff was discharged. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Five Pounds. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 10. The Court was occupied during the Whole of its sitting in hearing motions of no interest to the public. The case of Stracey and the Bank of England is specially appointed for to-morrow. FOSTER AND OTHERS V. WESTON. In this case, argued this morning, which was an action tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the sittings before last Hilary Term, and a verdict taken by consent, for the plaintiff, for 7001. subject to an application being made to the Court, on the ground of a malicious arrest for 1,0001. the Court decided that from the affidavits on bothisides, it was evident that the defendant had been ar rested for 3001. more than was due. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIO _ _ Yesterday two examinations took place before the Loan BIAToa, which exhibited proofs, in different ways, of the effects of the gin system. Mary Palmer, a young woman of genteel appearance, and ex. trmely well.dressed, wu charged by an officer under the following On Sunday morning the defendant and another young woman, accompanied by two men, began to sing a glee, in Coleman-street, to the utmost extent of their voices ; and as the inhabitants had often expressed their aversion to such serenading as four drunken people may be supposed capable of giving, one of the officers went up to the "chanters," and requested that they would not persevere in breaking the rest of the neighbourhood. As soon as the glee was finished, all departed except the defendant, who thought herself bound to make amends for the absence of the other performers, and screamed as loud as she could, so that several persons left their beds, and threw up the windows to ascertain the cause of such horrible noise. The officer's advice and threats were equally ineffectual, and he was obliged to take the girl into custody, and lodge her in the watch-house. So far the matter was comic enough, but in the strong room of the watch-house the unfortunate creature was very near putting a tragic termination to it and to herself. It was evi dent that she had been drinking Wait spirits, and the moment she was introduced to he prison she became exceedingly dejected, and looked broken-hearted. The watch-house-keeper, soon after she was locked up, heard an unusual noise issue from the room in which she was confined, and on entering found that the defendant had pulled her shawl tight round her neck, was stretched on the ground, and had that sort of rattling in the throat which, in cases of violence, often immediately precedes death. A few moments would have despatched her for ever, and it was with some difficulty she was restored. Upon recovering, she said she had drank so much gin that she could not resist the temptation to destroy herself, and that if more ready means had presented themselves she would have preferred them. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the defendant was In any bu. sinews" The officer said he believed she lived by prostitution ; but though he frequently saw her in the streets at night, she was upon all for mer occasions very well behaved, and was evidently superior to the general run of women of the town. The Lord MAYOst believed, that the madness with which the unfortunate girl bad been seized, sprung from that beverage which is falsely considered a relief from trouble. In her case the gin had made her troubles too severe to be borne. _ . It was stated, by an experienced person who attended on other business, that since the gin had become cheap, suicides had in. aeascd, and that several parts of the town presented scenes strongly resembling Hogarth's celebrated picture of " Gin.lane," which was by no means an exaggerated representation. The defendant expressed sorrow for having made the attempt upon her life, and said that the gin had made her such a wretch that she knew not what she did ; she really believed that it was made cheap to get rid of the poor. The Loan MAYOR advised her to abstain frotn such dreadful excesses, and having received a solemn assurance to that effect, dis. missed her. _ _ The ddendant was said to hare been once very beautiful, but gin had much bloated her fee,- and made her skin turgid and a few months more of the use of the beverage must , (if reform be quite out date gelation) alter her appearance to that of a perfect fright. GUILDHALL. P I A traveller, in the employ of a distiller in the neighbourhood of Holborn-bridge, was charged with neglecting to maintain his wife. It was stated by the wife that she was married to the defecdant fif. teen years ago, and had two children. She received a fortune of bOOL and some years after their marriage they came to London. Shady after their arrival, she said, her husband deserted her. He then medal a lady at the West-end of the town, in possession of a forams of 116,0001. and was subsequendy tried at the Old Bailey for convicted, and sentenced to transportation. A person (she who appeared on the trial, on behalf of the prisoner, was in. di7redrfat perjury, and transported also. It appeared that she had boss id an allowance of seven shillings per week, but refused on the penal that her husband could afford to pay ha a larger sum. The Itlienies thought seven shillings per week a sufficient al. lowance, and ordered the husband to -- that sum. Bowzi;tri,i. CSAROZ or Bennett. a pang man of respectable appearance, was charged with assaulting a *. Causer, a tradesman of repute residing in the neighbourhood ot illegent.street, and with rubbing him of four sovereigns and some silver, on the highway. Tim prosecutor stated, that on Saturday night he spent a consi part of the evening at the Sun 'ravens, in Davereus.court, -bar, where there was music—rot:eland instrumental ; and alio many pretty wools, by whose fascinations he was induced to *them till our two o'clock on Sunday morning. He had me wins, and did not deny that he was inebriated, but he sot ao:tipay as to be in of distinguishing s and elliseving their actiomi. The prisoner introduced h f to him 1181 wee leaving the tavern, and offered to see him home, which oar he dethead. as quitting the home the prisoner joined him, sad I Wised open being allowed to see him de to hie residence; Id, as the primer was a roupdable man in appearance, he did not oppose it. The prima isd bim across the Strand to Picket. Wont, and then said, " yen are all right; this la your way home." Re 4esrved so the pdasser, that it was quite the opposite way to Regent-street, u they were going towards Temple.bar, and the pr: goner immediately thrust his hand into his (prosecutor's) right hand smaliclothes pocket, and took out all the wooly he could gest ? , and ran off. Prosecutor cried out, " Stop thief ; and several po. ticenten chased the prisoner, and secured him. There were four sovereigns and some silver in his (prosecutor's) pocket at the am! be was robbed. Westcomb, and two other policemen, confirmed the e%idence of the prosecutor as to his calling out. They had a run after the pti timer, and secured him in Arundel-street, and found on his pets& I three sovereigns, a half guinea, and some silver. The Magistrates committed the prisoner. FELONY AND COMPOONDING..+TWO women, named Day, port and Williams, were again examined, charged with robbing a Mr. Hernott of his watch, in a brothel in Earl's-court, Cranbourne. alley, and W. Wilson was charged with receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen. The facts have already been pub. lished. The prosecutor's watch was retained to him by the instru. mentality of the male prisoner, on the sum of five pounds being paid. The only new evidence was that given by a witness, fmni the Lowe where the robbery was committed, implicating all the priconus in the charge.—They were again remanded. THE RIGHT AND 7'HE WRONG SIDE of THE ROAD. ATHY PETTY SESSIONS, Aram 27. Paley Hogan, a gawkish lump of a " gassooo," was brought up before the sitting magistrates this day, in custody of two polic emen, charged with disobeying their orders to keep his own side of the road coming into the market. The prisoner, with some difficulty, mounted the green cloth, for his hip bad been put out of joint two or three years ago, at a hurling match, and one of his legs r enu i Ded ever since much shorter than the other. The jaunty motion which his body bad acquired since this accident, endowed Patcy with at sir of suavity, as he hobbled along the table towards the worthy magistrates, that he was altogether unconscious of. Indeed, every bow he made to the Court, as he stumped the short leg down upon the green cloth, was, in reality, more the effect of his lameness, that any intentional courtesy on his part towards that august body. Dlsestrate—Well, Hogan ! how is it that I we you on the gree t cloth ; I thought you were the hat boy in the country there wool,: be any cause of complaint against ? Patcy—" Faith, Member Robert, as to my martin here, d'ye see,' (quoth Patcy, grasping his left elbow with his right hand, m t . twisting it back and forward with dire intent of removing sonic trou bksome customer,) " plain your honour, a blind man might hare found his way, pa after the same manner I did myself, for 1 was led into court all the way from Bsaick.shthreet, betune these two gintlemin," (pointing to the police.) Ist Policeman—Please your honour, " the Captain" ordered u, to watch all the roads coming into the market, and to take every horse and car into custody, that would not keep at his own side of the road. We were stationed on the Queen's County road, near Woodstock, when prisoner passed us in an ass's car. We called after him, and told him repeatedly to keep his own side of the road. but he p ulled to the other side in spite of us; so then we puma, him, and took him into custody. atcy—Och 1 the spalpeen! d'ye hear what he's althur satin: Now, plain your honour, be's runnin away wid de story quite en tirely ! I was stain in ie asses' car, bekayse of my lameness I cou'dn't walk, plebe your honour, an'l had the two bits ov thum ropes from the winters in my hands to guide the crathur, whin I passed these gintlemin, and they bawl'd out to me to keep my own side iv the road. Now, plaise your honour, I didn't think I owned e'er a bit of the road at all at all, since my uncle Darby an Jim Blurrin lost the pursintmint for Mick Nowlan's half mile. Jim, shore your honour knows, used to mind the half of the road near his own cabin door, an I, wid this same crathur iv a n ass, used to mind my uncle arby's half, at the side where we live; so, Oahe your honour, whin these gintlemin bid me keep at nip own side of the road , by varies, I pulled my best to get the crathur over to the side my uncle Dar) 's cabin is on, an thin they ran up In a morthal great passion , biddin me pull to the left; well your honour, jist to plaise thin, I did pull the rope in my left hand till I was near twishtin my ahowlther out iv joint, as well as my hip, bud all wouldn't satisfy shim, though I was near drivin the poor crathur ov an ass through and through the hedge Into Misther Maxwell's gardin, among the rosy. an poseys an the nurse an the ebilther. ((reat laughter followed Patsy's explanation.) Magistrate (to the Police)—Did be kap to his left hand ? Ist Policeman—He certainly did, your honour, but it was to tht right hand side of the road. Magistrate—How is this—it seems a strange contradiction? 2d Policeman—Oh, your honour, he was sitting In the ear, with his back to the ass, and his right hand on the left side, and his left hand on the right side. (This paradoxical exposition threw a new light on the subject.) Magistrate— Tha I see it is a mistake, owing to the boy's *- nausea ; I will discharge you, Hogan, without any int, as it is your Hat offence, but you must, in future, keep to the proper side of the road. Patsy—l thank your honour. Bud Shure " the Captain," wid all his doing, ought to put up a porklimathin, tellin hue what side to keep ?
