.TULY B. defendants could not ask for the bill being dismissed till they had put in their answer. Their best plan would have been to obtain a.l order for the production of that deed in a givcn time, and if. th it was not done, then they might apply Fir dismissing the bid lc regretted that the motion hail been made at a time when the Princess could lime no opportunity of instructing her legal a terser& Ile emeludel by expressing a hope that his Lord s:tip *mild not agree to the motion. Mr. SIM lwen followed on the wine side, and contended that if any delay had taken place the defendants alone were to blame ; for if they thought tit to complain, they ought to have put in their answer, and then no delay could hate taken place. It would certainly Ibr a new feature in the practice of the Court to make the order as prayed for. The Solicitur.General, in reply, contended the defendants could not 1.1:1•Welt till they had the document, **Count Munster had declared by affidavits his doubts of its being genuine. The Learned Corm then entered into a long detail of th e p ar ti cu l ars . The Lord Chancellor was clear that when a defendant pledged himself by oath to put in his answer on a certaln paper or docu ment being produced, and that till that was produced he could not answer without real injury to those for whom he acted; the Court would not make any degree till that was done. The pre. bent caw must be decided on principle rather than precedent. and the question was, whether the defendants, placed in their present situation, had a right to claim the dismissal of the bill, as though they had been differently situated? Ile hoped in God nothing on earth would induce hint to have his judgment biassed either way, and his order, thereibre, was, that the paper be produced by the third seal, with liberty to her Ito) al ll ighness to make any motion on the first or second seal. If he said nothing on this subject tomorrow, then this order would be considered as final ; but should he sec cause to alter his opinion, he would state what he thought. His nut saying any thing meth' be a proof that his order was final. Time case occupied several hours. WEDNESDAY, /USE 30. _ _ _ The Lord Chancellor. at the sitting of the Court this day. observed to Sir .rtlfur that on further consideration of this case. he wds confirmed in his opinion that the order he had sr ,fed ye►terday was the proper one to be made under all the pc. oulisr circurnstancts of the case. Therefore he pronounced it to be his order. SUMMER ASSIZES, 1819. NOR FOLK CIRCUIT. Before Lord Chip( Justice D ',LAS •od Mr. Justice Kunnas:rots. Ruetlnghatashire—Monday.

AGRICULTURAL H.F.POItT FOR J use.—The Wheat crops vary considerably in most districts ; those late sown are generally the most promising ; the early plants through the mildness of the winter having exhausted their strength unseasonably, particularly on lands not in good heat. Even on some of the best sons, the bloom is more irregular and the ear shorter than miy>aht naturally have been expected. l'lse eastern and midland counties have the best standing crops ; but from the present ap pearance, the general produce of England is not likely to be abundant. The cool weather will protract the harvest. The Barleys are good, except those in many parts of Norfolk, which have been severely cut by the night frosts in the beginning of the month, as have the Oils and Coleseeds throughout the fen counties of Cain htidge and Lincoln. Beans and Peas pmmise a large crop. The potatoes have much recovered front their frost-nipped state, and, though they will come later than was looked for, will probably be found to yield generally a full average produce. Swedish Turnips aie planting well from the late seasonable rail's. Bye-grass and Clo vers grow light; but the ablillthilCe Of meadow Hay will make tip the deficiency. The Hop plantat' through Kent and Sussex are still weak in bine, and re quire warmer weather. The young Clovers are a gene ral good plant. The Wool market is become brisk at advanced prices. Smithfield has been well supplied through the month with prime Heel, Mutmn, and Lamb, which commanded good markets. Veal awl Pork are cheaper. In !.caul Stock, both the Scotch and Welsh drovr rs have beets obliged to submit in reduced prices; but store Sheep, particularly well-bred South downs, retain their superior value. Horses of figure for harness or the field, are scarce, numbers having been lately shipped for the studs of foreign princes. Good bnney em t colts fetch more money ; but plain ones, and ordin. •,f hacks, are scarcely saleable on any terms. A meeting of the manufacturing, trading, and labouring classes of the city of Cork took place a few days ago, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament upon the subject of their distresses. Although there were nearly 15.000 persons assembled, it appears that the utmost order and propriety were observed. A series of resolutions were agreed to, and a petition founded upon them was read, and approved by the meeting. In this petition they pray for a reduction of taxes, and " a restoration of their landed propri etors, by wawa( a tax upon absentees, and a repeal of the Union." They further pray, if the above twain 011080 i be granted, that the mewls may be THE NATIONAL REGISTER. afforded by Government fior emigrating "to sonic country where, the taxes being lighter, they may be able to obtain employment and support."— The po!tition is to be presented to the House of Lords by the Earl of Charlemont, and to the House of Commons by the Hun.
