LONGF9III). OCTOBER 29. [EXTR♦CT PROM ♦ LETTIR.I The harvest here has not turned out so favour able as we expected. The crop of hay was by no means good. The oats hav►, its moot places, run very much to straw and small head. The potatoes, however, are excellent, and. I believe, very pro. uutive. Tiw fever, though greatly abated in this town, is very far from haviiig disappeared. I attribute this to the want of au hospital, wlt ch would confine the contagion to our spot, instead of having the air tainted by it, as it now is, its every lane and alley you cats turn to, so that you are to danger of Mind tog it at every step. Miss Edgeworth's comedy of Lore and Law was lat-ly performed here, with the approbation of its celt.brated audiurrss, by the young K eirtleincii of the town and rieighbourliourl, fur the benefit of the 'odor and faintly of • deceased respectable inhabi tant who hart fallen a martyr to the typhus. This, the first of Muss Edgervortler dramatic pioductions, was peculiarly fitted for representation almost out the scene where its characters, with one exception, intrinsically Irish, were conceived, drawn, and, as many suppose, partly studied from real originals. It went off with great eclat, and received from a crowded house the most rapturous applause. MURDER CUMMIT:"ED IN GLASGOW.

The Logo CHANcSI.Luit— ,4 I take this oppnr- Natty of observing, that this Court and its branches are often blamed for delay ; at times, per. hap•, not improperly. But, presiding where I do, I think it is no more than right that the public should know, that. at this moment there sire 260 judgment• of this Coast and iis branches laying with the proper officer, which have not been called for. This is sufficient to prove that all delays are nut to be attributed to the Court." IMPORTANT. In the molter of IV Las, a Lwoutie. Mr. SHADWEI.I. moved that the Master's Report might be confirmed. Mr. OWEN said. lie was instructed to oppose this motion, on the gromiii that the Master had allowed auction duty on thecae of an estate of the lunatic's, which was by the order of that Court, which could not be correct, as Sale* directed by the Court of Clusocrry were specially eteepted by the Act of Parliament. Mr. SN•DWiLI., in reply, said, his Learned Friend was unshaken, for in all caws of the sale of R lunatic's estate, the duty war payable. He there. lure haul no doubt but his Lordship would confirm the Master's Report. The LORD CUANCELLOR—" I have paid peak cular attention to this s r.e. It is one of occulter: importance, not from its men nature, but from tins bearing it has on the question of the sale of lunatics' property. It is sufficient for me at present to say, that the auction duty is due; for it must not he for gotten that in cases of lunacy I sit here merely 144 John Lord Eldon, mid net as Lord Chancellor. It will be seen by reference to the Acts of Parliament that I sit merely by virtue of a Consmissmii, au 1 therefore any sales. made by my order in lunatic cases are those of John Lord Elalust, and not of the Lord Chancellor. I trust I have explained myself suffi ciently on this suhject so as to be understood, as it is necessary that the distinction should be publicly known and thiderstood. The sale therefore in this case cannot be included in the exceptions granted by the Acts of Parliament in favour of the Eng lish and Scots Courts. It appears that its this case the Luctionetr- did not horn In• the conditions of sale who ass to pry the auction duty, but had merely given at parole condition. I cannot be bound by parole term!. of vale. and it is necessary fur me to say, that they ought never to take place, as they only tend to (recopy the time of the Court un:lec..rsinity. The Master did not think proper to order it to be inserted in the con dition of sole, who was to pay the aue:bm duty, therefore it is impossible for me to confirm Ina Re port. I have seen conditions of sale which pond .edly expressed it, by which means much litigation ■nd expense were saved. The lunatic is not the vendor here, nor will this Court perint even the next of kin of the lunatic to interfere ; for nu per son that has sat so long where 1 have Call help knowing. that there are no persons more willing to mislead the Court than they are, and that under a mistaken idea, for they certainly have no interest in a lunatic's property during his lifetime.
