He complained of the increased importatiou of articles from countries comparatively untaxed and onlithed, but in parti cular of wool, by which the price of British grown wool was greatly debased. Al the time when the woollen manafacture was considered as our great and most flourishing staple (the beginning of last century), the average importation was 569,7271 b.; and on an average of right years ( 1789 ) previously to the Fench Revolution, it hail advanced to 2,660,0001 h ; but the over whelming importation of last year 111110111 lied to 26,405,4861 b. and in the quarter from Jan 5 to April 5, 1819, the importa. lion was 3,345,6411 b , considerably more than the cove. sponding quarter of the last year, awl one-third more than the importation of the whole year pltviously to thee French Revolter . Formerly, we imported scarce any. but the 'finest *vole oeSpain ; but now the market is glutted with every itiferior kind of wool, Am all parts of the world. I have here some samples of wools which I was not aware till lately were ever brought into this country ; some from South America, which sold, the first week in last month, in London, at Oil. per lb.; some from Mogadore and the coast of Barbary and Syria, washed at Malta, at 8 d. per lb. and some from Germany at 1211. per lb.; and these are of such staple, nod su cheap, that they are likely to exclude all our coarser stitil inferior winds, of which we have plenty,from the carpet, blanket, and other manufactures. Of the enormous impartation of last year, of nearly 26 millions and a half, 11,035,76:11b. were from the North of Europe, 2,129,6771 h. from France, from neither of which any was formerly imported, and 8,760,6271 b. from Spain. In addition to the stroug objections to such immense im portations, it sl Id be observed, that, on an avenge, up wards of 2,000,0001. sterling goes out of the country an nually, for an article which we might raise ourselves. Since the last Meeting an essential point has twit attain. ed, via. a duty of 6d. per lb. on the import of foreign wool. It was first proposed that the duly should take place on the sth July; but most miaceomitably, the duty is nut to take place until the 10th October next, in respect to Europe, and until the sth January, 1820, in respect to other parts of the world ; before which time, suck is the eagerness to send to our market, that every lurk of wool that is stored sad in readiness will be poured into this country; which, added to the crest chit of British and foreign wool already ia the market, will continue to debase the prier, which, I am sorry to observe, is now lower than it has been for many years; and the farmer and the revenue will derive little benefit fur a considerable time, perhaps the next two years; and no doubt advautage will be taken, and we shall be tohl that it is • bad tax, and produces nothing. Some of the best South Down has been sold at Is. 6.1. but I cannot reeoninstied to the best growers to sell under 2s. per lb., sod the less that is sold the better would be the price to those who are obliged to sell. I wish 1 could give a more satisfactory animist of the wool.inaiket ; it continues very doll ; the demand trif ling. and prices very low ; the sales of foreign wool very trifling, PO that the prices must be considered as nominal. His Lordship then stated the prices of foreign wool and the prices of B r' • h wool at the principal fairs is England. He regretted that he bad received no !account of the prices of Irish wools. lie then said, I am sorry thus to expose the unfavourable state of the wool trade; but it appeared to me the only means of nodding you to judge what it might Ire p. cadent to if., under the circumstances. The market can hardly be worse than it has been lately; it will, however, greatly improve hereafter, when the duty Os (orrice wool begins to operate, and probably when the present money. difficulties have ceased. 1 canting dismiss the subject without noticing the deterio rated state of Spanish wool. It is said, that B onaparte and his agents sent great numbers of the best-wooled flocks into France; and cbsirous of rnonopolisiug the finest wool, ma. liciously caused the several kiwis of sheep that remained is Span to be mixed, in which he was aided by the confusion of the time, and thereby Spanish wool was greatly deterio rated, and it now coma into this country much inferior in quality, anal in • bad state. The finest and besi.wooled sheep of Spans were kept principally for the sake of their wool, without any care respecting the carcass, the feeding them, or ally consideration of them as an article of food. But it is now proved, that sot only as fine wool as any grown in that conutry, may be crown in other parts of Fairope, especially in this tummy, but also, that by • proper soder lion, the carcass will afford u good neattun as that anon most vaned sheep. In answer to those who declaim on the mischief likely to arise to our woollen manneset•re, is consequence of • duly on foreign wool, it may be observed, that the price of the manufacture has nut decreased, but has greatly increased since the immense importation of foreign wool, and that the usanafisoure itself is not of so good a qualtly as here. tofore. Within my recollectiOu, the finest bliAid cloths, which now sell at 366. were sold at 18s. per yard: and if we are to jodge from the rennin of the cloth milled is the West Rubs% of Yorkshire, the quantity of the mainfactore has by no means increased iu proportion to the immerse It.. portation of wool. On sir ge of 10 years, ended 1808, the broad and sot row cloth milled in the West Riding of Yorkshire (the only hearth of the trade of which a precise knowledge ems be obis taiord)was .. 15,000,001 yards. In 1817 • 16,218.0611 In 1818... The value of the woollen outstations exported from I fear 1 may tire yOu with these details; but there is an other object of still greater importance which demands our most serious attention. I earns the proteetioa of the pro duce of the soil—the araseleas.elamour of the multitude— the 'gewgaw* of others—oud the timidity of those who ought to have faced she immendisig mischief, have at lentil reduced the agricultural honest I. such • state of distress, that the country, so lung supine, begins to feel the necessity of representing their sufferings. His Lordship then west into bag details au the prices of grain for some years past, and the quantity imported, aosountiag in the years 1817 and 1818 to millions, all of which, he contended, might have hems raised is the country. He attributed the Bask Restriction Act to the importation of grails. The motion that Europe might depend upon America for subsistence, he observed, was most erro neous, for that *mushiest never ia oat year seat to Europe sufficient for one day's supply. But his Lordship observed, that the heaviest oppressive us the agriculture of the coma try, at this time, is the enormous tax for the wasteful main tenance of the poor—more heavy and oppressive than all the other taxes and assessments put together, the whole of which falls almost exclusively OD the land; at the Mat time that the landowner and occupier pay all other taxes and assessments in common with the rest of the community; and this expenditure is as mischievously impolitic as it is wasteful. Unfortunately, the enmity Deems sot to be 'ef ficiently aware of the necessity, and prepared for such measures as would check the mischief, or avert the ins pending ruin which mast otherwise take place. The re port of, and evidence before the Committee, for the amend ment of the poor laws, very hilly sad ably apprised the country of its situation; but the inefficient measures of the Committee, however respectably composed, will extend rather than dimisish the evil en loudly complaised of, sad have proved that a large Committee is sot It to prepare a great, uniform, and simple measure, such as the exigency re quires. Patchwork might be expected. it is moat mortifying to observe how little attention was paid to the Bill. os these subjects, passed or brought into Parliament last Session. It is clear they were sot uaderstood. Some were passed, and others rejected, without discussion, or scarce any notice; yet more necessary sad essential mea sures could not possibly be brought forward. It is to be hoped, as the necessity of proteciiug the most essential produce of the country begins to be understood, that Petitions sod Representation' from sit parts will be addressed to the Legislature, which has recently shows M imetic's to the subject by imposing a duty in the import of foreign wool; and these can be DO doubt but that his Majesty's Ministers must ardently wish fur and will comply with su gg estions, which, not prejudicing is any respect, will be evidently advantageous to the orontry. We should recommitted that ao foreiga grain which this country can produce should be, in any case, duty free; and we should require that the highly objectionable warehouse. ing systems should be relinquished, which is infinitely more hurtful than is generally imagined: through that system the ports are always open to foreign grain, duty free. We should also borrow from the wisdom of the Irish Corn Laws. which improved upon ours, by prohibiting the import of foreign four, and thereby keep that manufacture with great advantage armee' ourselves.

POLICE REPORT. SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE. Yesterday G --- -I - D'Evereuv.; of the Patriot service, ac companied by Colonel Rl'Dennott, and several Of sod Gentlemen of the first respectability, attended at Marlbo rough-street Office, to complain of a disgraceful mileage committed on him, the Gement, by two persons. the one calling himstlf M'Gregor, brother of Sir Gregor M'Gregor; the other, Dr. O'Reilly, the brother-in-law. Counsellor Casey ass the presiding Magistrate. The complaint being called toe, Mr: Hatband, as Coun sel for the Defendants, addresrsd the Magistrate. He was authorised by his clients to say, they felt deep regret for having, by their conduct, transgressed the law, is offering au insult to General D'Everettx, and they were ready to make every atonement in their power. His clients con ceived they were authorised mean on the General, in eon septette, of remarks made by him on the conduct of their relative, General Sir Gregor M'Gregor, hut, at the same time they admitted, that they bad acted extremely wrong, is the manner in which they obtruded into Gement D'Eve reties chamber, and were ready to make such an apology ' bete, or in ally other place, as the General, or the presiding 1 Magistrate, thought proper to dictate. A conversation here canoed en the subject of the apo logy offered, in which the public and private merits of Ge. neral D'Everenx were admitted on all sides. The Magistrate here observed, that having issued a sem i mons on yesterday fur the parties to attend, be was more or I less is pomessien of *bestowed of complaint; bat as it oc- I tarred to hint that • very strong apology toast go to the Ipublic, and is order to apportion it to the offence, be I thought it necessary that the whole of the facts should be stated by the General, and as she matter was now to be set. tied in that way, he would nut administer an oath, relying I sa he did or the high honour of General D'Evereux. Here it was asked if the General had Counsel in anted ance. IGeneral D'Evereex--" No, Sir; I did not consider the attendance of Counsel Necessary; I have but • plain sad direct statement to make." The General then stated that he had sever sees the De fendant. in his life, until they furred into his bed room. in Greabant's Hotel, yesterday morning about the hour of her o'clock. Being awoke by the woke, he observed the curtains had been draws back, and the younger of the two (M`Gre goo) at his bed-side brandishing • large stick, and threaten ing, with impreitatiossa, " to knock hie brains out, sad to rip out his guts;" in short, all the language steed by him (*Gregor) the Gettersl did not think it degrees to repent. His threats and the vieiemse of his tanguage were sea, that the General attempted so ring hie bell, which was neer the bedside, when M'Gregor seined the cord, and swung it heat his resell. At this wieuerat the educe &readmit Mer est the meows, shad said he was Dr. O'Reilly. He coodeeted Wesel( in a mire peaceful meaner, and did not sae such low language as Sll`Gremir. He told the General that the high-Wooded Highlander (*Gregor) had come to demand satisfaction from him as reperseutative ofSir Gagne AlleCirr. gur, whom be (the General) had spoken elisrespectfolly and that if the General reflood to wort Itt.Gregor. he was determined that the General slmold meet him, Dr. Mcitly. The General replied, that. he did rot know them, sod that their cooduct was so extremely reprehensible, sad in every respect so soneestlemea-lilse, in Weskits/ is on his re pose, at so essessosable an hour, or, indeed, to have ob tended into his chamber at any hour, that he could hold no communication with them, and desired them to withdraw. They retired. These were the plain facto, and ha bad 'Whist farther to say. Mr. H abated said, he held a letter in his Maud, which hod stimulated his cheats to set in a stainer which be would sot attempt to justify, hot which, he trusted, would have its fair effect with the Magistrate in framing the apology to be mode. He then asked Goers, D'Everesti if the letter be then bald was written by hint. General IrlEverenit" Certainly, I avow it ,• bat I bold in my head a letter horn • distingoistied office!' is his Ms• jesty's service, which occasioned me to write the letter pro dusted hy Mr. Holland. My letter was orifice Yoder the b rus' the& my countrymen had beets slaughtered." After some discussion, both letters were handed te the Magistrate for his private perusal. Harting read cluck, he said it was evident that the letter received by Gee. D'E.ve rest occasioned his writing the one comarlamed of. They were sot read in Court, sad we are therefore igno mot of their contents. The Magistrate then proceeded to state his opinion, and proosence upon the case. He, with great force and slut queer, dwelt upon the violent sad outrageous proceeding of the Defendants. which nothing he (the Magistrate) had beard er seen could, is the least degree, justify, and, after paying • high compliment to the character of General Meerut's, declared, that had be adopted any other line of conduct, be would have compromised that diameter. Were an officer of high rank, intrusted with affairs of great mo nad, sod the protection of • great cause, to answer, as seemed to have been expected of the General in this case, every perms who might conceive themselves aggrieved by obitervations, which his official situation called upon hum to slake, the cause might be deeply injured sod the service lose its best and most diciest supporter. General D'Evereux, addressing Mr. Casey, said, a What has folks from you, Sir, with so much force and eloquence, must be considered highly satisfactory." The Magistrate the, called on Mr. M'Gregor and Dr. O'Reilly to stand forward, while, is their same, be would say, that they felt they had acted is a most improper and usjustibable manner; that they were extremely sorry fur it, sad thankful to General Mvereant for not pursuing the I matter farther. All parties thee bowed to the Magistrate, sod retired. THUNDER STORM. This month, was ushered in by tremendous thun der-storms in Ireland, which extended almost over the whole island. On Saturday and Sunday there was • great deal of lightning in Dublin, but no thunder was heard until Monday morning. On Monday a dreadful thunder-storm, accompanied with heavy rani, was experienced at Omagh. , The house of ARTHUR GALBRAITH. Esq. of Lisa. nally. near that town. was struck with lightning. Mr. GALBRAITH and his family were sitting in the cl . • g-parlour when the lightning entered ; Mr. GALBRAITH was struck dead, and the rest of the family rendered insensible—the servants in the kitchen were thrown into a state of stupefaction, and a pointer dog, lying between the feet of one of the men-servants, was killed in that position.— On the same day .one of the arches of the new bridge on the new road leading to Iriineatown, in the county of Fermanagh, was carried 'Way, am) a stream burst through Belmore mountain, which carried down immense fragments of the rock.— In the west of Ireland a poor woman was killed near Tuam. and two children were struck blind in the parish of Easky, in the county of Sligo. Seven more, all part of the same family, were struck 'emir. less. In the county of Clare, Brantford river was flooded to a greater height than ever before remeni. bered ; the water carried away the bridges leading to Limerick and O'Brien's bridge, and crossing the road. turned one of the piers to' the entrance to Hurlstown, and tore up • number of trees in one of the plantations, and some perches of the demesne wall. It also entered the house of the Her. Mr. COR. BEM and some ladies who took shelter there were compelled to get out of the upper windows, and the back wall of the house was obliged to be broken to allow the water tbrough the garden. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ♦THY, MONDAY, JULY 26. Lord NORBURT entered the Criminal Court at 11 o'clock. when the Commission was read, and the. Grand Jury sworn. His Lordship felt happy in addressing so highly respectable a Grand Jury. He knew theta well and intimately. and was aware that they possessed a perfect knowledge of their duty. lie was glad to see the two worthy Members far the County at their post. particularly as they had just returned from their arduous duty in Parliament.

It was a proud reflection, that while the Sister King dom was in a state of disgraceful agitatioo. t he utmost tranquillity prevailed in Ireland. Hr never remem bered so much good order among the people, all were quiet and healthy; calamity had vanished ; there was the greatest prospect of an e'uundatit crop, a redun dancy on hands—even plenty to send to other countries.
