(failal Tits DUBLIN ITSIIIIIIIS. ripst4, Frosp. a circular Letter wit,leh has bees pot it4e ow handsby *friend, and signed by Mr. Shay( Mason, of the Record Office, we RDA it is the intention of Go ternmint to carry the provisions of the Popniition Act into effect. Thu Letter is addressed to the ; and many of them will. no doubt, endow. sour to promote the object of the liovernment. That a Census of the. Populatioo of..any Country is matter of great importance to. the Country and Government, is an sinxiorn that will be universally received. But there have always been considerable difficulties in carrying the principle into execution. In Prattle, from the peculiar structure of society, and from the intimate Connexion between the Government and the Perferts and Mayors, the object dues not present so Many difficulties. In England, the Church we should think admirably calculated to promote the operatitm •f the Act ; if there were not, at the same time, au many denunsinations of Dissenter*. The numanber 4 the Methodists, h o wever, is well known; d it; would be ea•ty, we should suppose, to desire from each Sect the numbers respectively of those who are , in communion with the Church of England, as well at those who have seceded on wheels called a purer Armenian principle. The Calvinistic Methodists also could be enumerated , without any great difficulty.— The saute tsar be said of the Quakers, the Iluptiws, the Sucinians, and the other Sects that prevail in Eng land, and of whom a regular and accurate Census is tartar by their respective Priests and Eiders. Yet we believe that the Population Returns in England , are extrently defective ; for, if we remember accurately, the rrturns were m ade, not b y the Clergy, hut by cer tain Officers appointed to carry the Local Militia Act into execution. In Scotland the measure war of more easy accomplishment. Ilut we have hot leisure, at present, to go into particulars. In this Conistry, we apprehend that greater difficulties would occur in the execution. The 11Iagistraies are Lot t " n such ion ! - mediae andfricadty contact %AO% the ople ;mow whom they live. The latt?r regard their superiors rather with fear than wills love. Besides, we suspnot ect that the Magistrate s, g enerally speaking, will bring much activity into the measure. •I lie Country, at this n.oitteut, is in such a deplorable state with regard to its Agricultnre, that the Gentlemen of Ihic re land will not he in he art to prosecute a duty wh they will deem, we suspect, an net of snperogation. We hare not the Act before us : but, we really think that the only rileetual way by which the m easure can he ear,ied into or:ation, will he by a coli.municatoi me n with the Catholic Cler il y ni en of Ir. land. Mr. Sha Mason—:o whose exertions in p,oitioting the Statistics of Ireland, much credit is dn.., and willingly paid by all parties—must he aware we should imagine, of the peculiar state of society in Ireland, anti particularly of the prejudices of the Na:iecs on Clis very score, of iiiinthering the People. These prejudices, we could easily show, are natural ; for their cottages are 51 arrely visited by persons *hove them in rank, except with some legal, fiscal. or ecclesiastical view. 'I be Slieritis thfr.Trs, the Collector of the County. or Baronial As sessment, and the. •I ithe-Proctor, are the ordinary means of communication between the higher an,; tor lower 'tillers. If Mr. Mason could enlist some of the Catholic Clerry in the measure—if he could induct them to explain the m atter to their respective flocks, the thing would be easily and speedily accom plish...l. We should certainly support any plan of the kind. %V :oats., every one of any information knows, that there is no financial measure in contemplation- - fur wile:, indeed, remains to be taxed? Gut the people do not know this ; and they sill not believe it, exc.tpt front the mantas of those in whom they have confidence. We shor.lll, indeed, he most iIIiKIMIS to have a census of the people. We do believo the population of Ire land, to he much woe e numerous than most persons sup pose. We alionki like to have the matter fairly and fully stated ; and though there is not. we Lelieve, guy provision iu the -act regarding religions distinctions, yet nothing could be easier titan to have them marked down in the different schetittles and returns. — It would, see repeat it, be extremely desirable to know, as nearly as exactness can be obtained in such an enumeration, the exact amount of the P.oteatants, Disputers, and Catholics of Ireland. POLICE. MANstoN-Iforse.—A young woman, named Maria Ford, was brou.r:lt before the Lord Mayor. on a charge of havine . altos, ted to defraud Mr. Purse, the pawn. broker. of (Amt.:a Wall. Mr. Mill, the f. - /rettian to Mr. Parse, stated, that on Saturday the prieuner came to their shop, and offered a Stilt of pearl jewel., as she stated them tu be, to pledge for Gor 71., givim; Iter name Maria Stuart, 6, Angel street. A ...Ind set of pearls had been pledged by the prisoner at their shop before,' but on inspecting those offered on the present occasion, he immediately per erived that they were not genuine, and having been .in formed that persons were going about defrauding the trade with ;mud; pearls, he thought it his duty to bring her b e fore his Lordship. On going to the place where the prisoner ha I stated that she resided, no such person was to be found. The husband of the prisoner came forward, and ar said that the articles off ered for pledge were certainly pels, but be admitted That they were of an inf erior quality. , I A Jew also came forward , and o ff ered to bet large', sums that the articles i n q uestion were pearls, but th I were certainty huh ones , and what were com monl y eab 1 dead pearls. tin the oth er slily it was strenuously e nied that they were any thing of the kind. The I.oen 3Psvott put an end to the discussion, II observing that there did not appear any thing to 'errata him in detaining th e p risoner, who, whatever ntight. have been intended, had completed no offence. Th. pu:tlieity given to the matter, by bringing the prioonet before him, would be sufficient to put the remainder 4 the fraternity on their guard against any attempt of the kind, if any such should he made.

The plaintiff is this ease was b o re sometime in the ?ear -anattaral son of the late. Earl of Strath. riore, by Mary Minster, now Countess of Strathmore. 'the late Eatl married the said Mary Millner on tThhe 9.1 of Jnly, 1820, and died on the nest day. e f laintiff, by his friends, has filed a bill, which charges, that by the marriage of his parents as above stated, the plaintiff, according to the la'sr of Scotland, was legitimated, and that he is therefore entitleti to the title and dignity of Earl of Strathtnore, and the other F:atch titles and Scotch estates possessed by the late Earl. The hill then prays that proper persons May be NP to defend.and establish the plaintiff's rights as above let forth. To this bill the defendant, the Right Hodn. T in bar homas Eowes, the brother of the late Earl, pleaed that the plaintiff is not in law Earl of Strathmore, nor ratitled to assume that title, and that the defendant. who in the bill is impleaded and stied by the name and ticteription of the Hon. Thomas Bowes, is in law E of Strathmore and Kinghorn, and ought to be inspleati c•l and sued by that name and dignity. In sopport of this plea the defendant averred, that at the time of the plaintiffs birth his parents were unmarried, aw awl were bein a bla natural-born subjects of the King, resident l atomi c:led in Englan d ; and that the plaintiff, g cud at the time of his birth, is incapable iu law of in trriting the title, style; and dignity of Earl of Strath. Mt ire. Mr. Haar appeared for the defendant in s upport eac of the pl• a. In this ca se th ere were- two persons, h ;Arming himself to be Earl of Strathmore,bnt it was evi. dent that there could he but one real Earl of Starathmorae in existence. It w as of the most vital importnce tht the Court shauld determine who was the Earl of St rath- Inure. The Learned Counsel contended claimcing to English law, the plaintiff had. no what ever to the'title. Mr. floarda followed on the part of the defendant. He understood it was to he contended on the, other side, that the defendant's plea was nntenable, liecause it involved a question of.dignity which the court had no power to discuss. It was not however a tplestion '.f dignity merely, bat a qftestiott relating to dignity inseparably connec ted wills prnperty, and on an issue tosdered to the court by the plaintiff's own bill. The plaintiff, in his bill, states that he is entitled to certain baronies in Scotland a s Earl . of Strathmore, and prays that, as the defendant claims these baronies, the conrt Mill appoint persons to secure the plaintiff's itiVrests in them. It was impossible for the plaintiff to s:ty that he will not suffer the defendant to litigate the question of property when he has himself brought him into court to discuss it. If the plaintiff nets not the Earl of Strathmore, the defendant ads: and until the qua- ' tion should be decided in his favor, the plaintiff should not be allowed to come into court in possession of pri -IHeffe3 which might operate to the disadvantage of the defendant. Mr. SIIADWALL. on the same side, contended it had always been considered necessary to give a party his right designation. The real question to be decidei was, whether the nattral child of a Scotclonan cobs- ] biting with an English woman becanws entitled to a', Sento% estate by the subsequent marriage oh wasf bis parents. The casts of Patrick and Shedder, whic argued in the House of Lords in 1 SO9 weuld serve far a precedent on this point. The circumstances of that case were, that a Scotchtuatt in America had a r.atural child, and afterwards married its mother, which, however, according to the laws of America, sl i d d not legitimate the c hild. The question to decid in the Hous o Lords was whe.her this ttitild was en titled to the e Sc f otch estates , of the father, and it was de termined that he was nut. The LORD Cuattcst.t.on observed that, :wonting to law, if aScotchman went to the East Indies and served in the Kings forces, he was still a 'e.soteltstsan ; hat if be entered the company's service, he was no larger a Scatchinan, hut immediately got isvo the pro. 'ince of Canterbury. After, Mr. Sit anwet.t. had proceeded with some fur !'ter ohservationa, the LnaoCIIANCGLI.OR observed that there was a petition from one of the parties now be fore the House of Lords, and lie suggested that it would be most adviseable to let a co mmittee of privileges determine the question of title, before proceedin wore carried farther in this court. His Lordship a 'tied, that he would use Isis influence to induce the Itottse to take the case into immediate consideration. The counsel for the different parties appeared to approve of the snggestion of his Lordship, and we un derstood that the defendant suffered his plea to be over titled, upon use nnderstanding that it should not pre . jedice his claim to the title. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Ormon FM 4n. (At Nisi Enos. before the Lotto Cant 41:rtice.) GROUT t'. UELLISII. This was an action for money hail and received. The defendant, who is an auctioneer, put up to sale certain lands in Hertfordshire, of whirl% the plaintiff became the purchaser , p a y in g 17/. deposit. and 2/. 1 tis. section duty.

'ion of Bankruptcy In this case, took place in tiaildhall The parties had been eminent annnity brokers, and the claims on the Bankrupt:state extend, it appears, to a vast amount, both in number and ratite. The first meeting of creditors had been attended by an unprecedented throng of anxious and desponding creditors i and the second which - was held yesterday, presented a scene of confusion very difficult to describe. The place ap-1 pointed was the lower Irish Chamber, but on the ar rival of the Commissioners, it was found so crowded „that an a djournment to therotirt of Common Pleas was agreed on ; before, howeVer, the persons concerts-1 ed . could approach the Court, that also became se ' Crowded, that the C o mmissioners, to avoid the pressurel proceeded t.- the Ilustings in the Great Hall, where they opened the proceedings. As soon as this became known to the persons who filled the Court of Common Pleas, they all rushed forth with the greatest eager ness. The Consissioners, and other persons on the Hustings, were soon so pressed by the !timbers that smt:roanded them, that an adjournment to the Court of Common Pleas, which was by this time empty, was :wain agreed on, anti, after much difficulty, the Com mis inners and persons immediately concerned in the proceedings, succeeded in making their way to ' it, through a crowd that were evidently asf distinction as they were numerou s. 31auy persons o were present. The Commissioners stated, that it was not thought adviseable to proceed to the ele•ice of Assig•tees sititil a greater nnuiber o f creditors should have proved their debts, and desired any creditors who were present to proceed with their proofs. Several debts were then proved without any olomer ration, but on Mr. Johnson proposing to prove a debt of 701., a considerable incursion took place. Nlr. Johnson stated, that the only evidence be hail l of the bankrupts' being his debtors Was their own h mhs, by which it appeared th A they 11.1$1 received a 1 dividend of 70/. on his account on; of Mr. Wellesley's estate. Mr. Whims was K 1 plied to, to say whether 1 that sum was really tine to the elaintant ; lie replied, that having no access to his books since the commis. sion hail {smell, he could not positively answer the question ; hat accor.ling to his recollection the money had not been received for Mr. Johnson, attliongli he it might possibly be placed to his credit in their bu .ks. H • explained this by saying, that they frequently in their hooks debited the account of.a person for ;vivo', they were to ply money, anil creSited the a •eottlit of a person for whom they werf to receive it, without any actual receipt or payment of money having taken place. • The Commissioners, after this explanation, inquired of Mr. Gibbs, whether lie could by hil hooks deter mine the true state of every person's aceonnt with whom he and his partner hail money transactions . — Mr. Gibbs declared positively that he could. Mr. Montagne. who was Connsel for the bankrupts, ohjevted to receiving Mr. Johnson's claim, before it • houlil be ascertained whether the bankrupts had re ceived the money from Mr. Wellesley's estate ; lie said this was a questi 111 l of vital importance to the creditors—it trite not Mr. Johnson's claim for 7thl. that was to te deciapol by it, but claims to the amount of 10P,0001. The Commissioners, after some coosnitation, said, Mr. Johnson's claim must be received, subject, of course, to be either confirmed or disproved by fur ther evidence. Mr. Montague stated 'to die Commissioners, that several persons entertained doubts of the validity of the petitioning cre.litor's claim, and that .it isiielit pre vent a great deal of unnecessary trouble and expense, if lie were again, and more particularly examined in proof of his debt. Tim: Commissioners said, that the petitioning credi tor had sworn to his debt to issite the commission ; that they had examined him respecting it before they had opened the commission, and again on his proving antler it ; and they eertainly would not now call un him to contradict what he had so repeatedly sworn ; a proceeding which they conceived would not he strictly compatible with their duty. Mr. MONTAUCE said, that if he were Counsel for the petitioning creditor, lie should stronely advise him to have it ascertained beyond the possibility of a doubt whether the claim he had made on the hankrr.pt's estate was a valid debt, as if it sirottill turn out at any', stage of the proceedings that his claim was not valid, the whole of time expenses would fall on him. The Learned Gentleman said, he had known a cas.. in which a Commission hail proceeded so far Out upwards of 6000/. expense hail been incurred, after whirl' it was ascertained that there was, in fat t, n o ( lebt due t o t h e petitioning creditor, and he was in e?nsequenre obliged 1 to pay the whole expe nse ; it was, therefore, very dearly ', the interest of dr! petitioning creditor in this ease to ascertain that important fact, of which at present mach doubt was entertained in the early stage of the pro ceeding, and it was also the interest of all the o her creditors, that if the present commission had issued illegally, it alight be set aside, and an unexceptionable commission issned. If the Commis.ioners bail any doubt 44 their powers in time case, a short petition could be presented to the Chancellor, by which the question ronld be immediately decided. The Commissioners said, :hat on the apprAntnment of Assignees, any inquiry into time chains of the petitioning cr editor that might be thonght necessary could take place, hot they had done all that in the present stag e of the proceedings was either usual or nee ll sa lv. The Commissioners then appointed March 6th, 10th, 13th, and 17th for receiving proof of debts, aud March the 44th for the choice of Assignees. Who ever heard of :Mi. being preferred to 21,000/.? -A ad yet such will very probably be the ease To-stoaaow ; .as tbetonly INckets and Shares now on sale are those which have been returned ; and which ma y e ventually rain all the ,treat Capitals.
