IRELAND. DFSPERATE AvracE.L . 071171 — nday evening last, about hair past six o'clock, as Major Powell, inspector of police, Capt. lien. demon, also of the police, and Mr. Tobin, of Usher's-island, Dublin, were travelling in a chaise from Dundalk to Drogheda, they were attacked on the top of Tullyescar-hill by a gang of rob bers, about six in number, who stopped the chaise, and a:1 .pped several pistols into it, which tOrtimately missed tire. Major Powell then tired at one of the fellows, who had got on the fore carriage, but without elfiiet. The gentlemen were then taken out of the chaise, separated from each other, and robbed of their pistols, am munition, money, watches, and luggage. While the gang were rubbiag Major Powell (who made great resistanc e , an d com pl ete l y succeeded in dragging the ramrods front three of the robbers' pis tolith Mr. Tobin effected his escape into lhoglieda, and having called upon Ald. Smyth, magistrate (mil* county of Louth, a party of the that regiment were, at his request, promptly turned uut It} Major Nichol, and accompanied Mr. John Armstrong, chief von stable, in search of Major Powell and Captain Ilentlerson, who were left in tile robbers' hands, and for whose safety great apple. !tensions were entertaintsl. On arriving at the spot where the rob bery was committed, a loaded pistol, ammunition, pistol and case of Mr. Tobin's, some papers. etc. were found by Mr. Armstrong and his party, but they were not able to obtain any information of the gentlemen miming. It appears that they ako escaped without material injuty and crossed the country to I.istoke House, the resi dence of our Ilevaider, front whence they wereesmeted into lhoi , beds by Mr. Van illontrigh and one of his sons. The night was dark, and it does not appear that these gentlemen could identity any of the robber—llrogkeJa ./Dismal. It has been proved to demonstration, that any person purchasing a Ticket or Share in the present Lottery, speculates for a 20,0001. Prite at a much cheaper rate in proporti.in than in the' lao, tor there are now Seven Prizes of that amount instead of Three. It should also be noticed, that more than two-thirds of all who purchase before the First Day's Drawing, may receive back at the rape of 101. per Ticket, even after having hail the chance of the Two Prima of 20,1141111.

Sit,—Various occuirences have prevented my addressing you sooner on the above important branch of this subject. At length, I take up my pen fur that purpose; and having attempted at apology in mg Lest (the 22t1 of October) for the subsequent re mark., I shall, with due deference to superior information ski judgment, without further preface mar& },very commission of bankruptcy is directed to five learned menu. ben of the law, whether counsel or attorneys ; and in case any our of the live should die or withdraw fnim acting as a commissioner before the affairs of die estate see wound up, I understand the commission, being incomplete, is void, and a new commission is necessary. Now It may happen, that a commissioner named may die before the commission is opened, in which case there would be no authority to proceed in it, even to examine into the act of bank. ruptcy, or any other preliminary proceeding, before the basikroptcy was published. If this be the intent of the Legislature (I do not say that it was) is it not incumbent on the whole five to qualify by the prescribed oath, in the presence of each other, before the bob netts of the commission is proceeded in ? Under the present system it is generally understood to be ray , often the case, that one, if not two, out of the fire commissioner, know nothing more, from beginning to end, about a bankruptcy ill which they are named (I mean in London) than what they learn from the receipt of their portion of the fees. flow these leer are divided is not generally known ; it may be by special agreement be tween them fora periodical stipend in the lump, or by a certain portion of the fees of every commission. In some instant s the at. tendanec of commissioners is partial, and documents are signed lir them at their chambers; but can it be defended as right or natural, that any responsible character, holding a public judicial situatioa, can be justihett in signing his name to sanction an adjudication of matters with which he is totally unacquainted ? But these last oc currences are toocommon to need evidenoe to verity them (as stattf in nip Petition to the House of Commons, presented by Alr.Baring the 30th of June last) ; and it most be manifest to every capacity, that in such instances the country debars no benefit from the skill and learning in the law of the absent connotation(' (which was the object of his appointment) fur the satisfaction of the people and the preservation of the public peace ; nor the parties in the case, from whom he takes a consideration to decide to the beat of hisjudginent and experience. I think, Sir, that every just man must contemplate this prank" with a degree of horror, as a bad example from the le arocd sad co• lightened part of the community to those inferior to them in met. tel acquirements and the power of promoting the good of ao:iety. Vet this dreadful system goes on, and, by a late Bill brought into Parliament, is intended car go on to perpeti ity. I augur this, be cause there is nothing in the Bill calculated to alter it. And whiles the commissioners are so numerous, with commandin‘ influence from family alliances, private friendship, the prospects of wealth and honours, it is hardly possible but they should have leanings and inclinations too powerful 11l be resisted in all eases whota favours may be expected in return for favour and partialities already 'hewn, and that die due course of justice may not thereby be Witt ruptcd. A further objection to this system, especially in London, is that commissioners are often seen advocating the cause of most dainties. offenders (Innkrupts), before other commissioners, with whom the advocates are riot named in those commission., directly opposite to their mural duty, as judges in bankruptcy cases, sad to what wooed have been their own determination if the uses bad come before them as commissioner. instead of counsel. This is a practice cal. masted to lessen die character of comnbasioners, rather than to up hold the due dignity and reverence of judicial authority Vonitnissioners. as jt01g..., should be wholly independent and consistna ; and how car tkis be, while they are either Tunchsing counsel or attorneys, ciriti:ioolly having bricesoresses put into thew hands, or otherwise professionally employed, by persons subject to be interested in bankrupt emotes, to which these toembersof the Jae are commhsioners, and from whom the courtesy 'Weird society renders a particular attention to the individuals that employ them wholly unavoidable? Those who are attorneys give briefs ur caws to those whet are counsel, which (-mattes a leaning towards the wishes of the party from whom they derive professional advantages, and this na tural inclination runs through the whole race of lawyers, uhrilscr act i ng as ~e rinis•iniers or solicitors to bankruptcies, of which the attorney. also e forty miles from London may be sometimes emu inibioncrs, iamietinies solicitors; and the social affinity, from nen. tool pecuniary interesta, is so strong, that to expect justice to Inc administircd would be to expect supernatural conduct in that so. dissoluble compound of virtue, vice, consistency, and absurdity, which dic as recognises, though in different proportious, isis von. shouting Ilem. 1 must now, Sir, beg to defer the conelo.ion of thus head rill a e i r ng 7ten the d t ay .i b t i j h i e,. .e n t e i i t r o ill n.
