• __. .. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, FRIDAY. JUNL 27. From the moment of Sir Jour NCTrPOLT'S en trance into office, his attention appears to have been invariably dire Ced to the bettering of the condition of the poor in Ireland. It might be supposed, that in a work so meritorious, upon every ground of policy and humanity, every Member from that part of the U:litcd E.:;.i,dont would be eager to lend a helping hand, and afford every possible fa cility to its progress and completion. Upon refer ence, however, to bur l'arliameatary Report, it will be found, that an Ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer for Ireland, thinks that the case of the Irish poor =ay very well stand over for redress until next year. It is evident, that the Gentleman alluded to does sot consider the state of the poor as a matter of pressing necessity, for his ob;e!lign is grounded andy upon the advanced period of the Session ; an objetlion that can have no weght, if due notice has been given of the measure, and sufficient time al lowed for its consideration. Now it happens that Sir Joon Nswroar gave notice of this measure in the last Session of Y..rliansent, and tile present Session did not commence until January. Compar ing the eineation of the present Session with that of ever pre:•eding one, this cannot be considered a day too far advanced for the introduet.on of any such measure. The firmness and perseverance of the worthy Baronet, it will be seen, have not yielded, in the slightest degree, to an argument of so little weight ; his Bill has been brought in, read a first time, and will be read a second time this day. The SoLictroa-GaNsaaL, last night, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Bankrupt Laws. He, at the same time, etplaioed the nature and objet of the Bill, which is of great iniportance to the commercial world. The Secret Committee of the Privy Countil, ap- pointed by the brat authority in the kingdom, to in quire into the cnodna of an illustrious female, se cond only in rank and importance, with respea to the state, sits at Lord Givers La a's Office in Down. ing-street. We have noticed this delicate business only so far as we have been compiled by our con temporaries. some of whom boast the priority of their intelligence, at tie very moment they plead in their jestification for mentioning it, that the gory was in .very body's moults. OW readers will sot censure us for paying the same respeet to the second female in the land, which we did sot refuse to Vis count Metricct. Whci we can with propriety lay the detail before the public, we will not be last to do our duty. 'Me ship Ardent, Capt.

It now appears, that Le had wit in his anger, and that in detaining his visitors, he only sought to have a corps of couriers and messengers ready to employ in the work of peace, just as Noast used the Dove when the de luge had subsided.

I" s • • •• , L r 17111ILLIGENCE. COURT Or CHANCERY, Jueetta, • waterloo end wire n. ',wo, At the rising of the Conn, Mr. PLOVDIV, on the part of the Plaintiff, rose to snake a motion for dis charging the Plaintiff from an attachment in this cause. The Learned Gentleman said, that the So licitor-General, who also held a brief, had men tioned it on a former day to his Lordship, when it was settled that it should be heard this day. The Loan CH•VCILLOR, inquired, whether to, tits was served on the Defendant ? and Was answer ed in the affirmative ; but hiring informed by Coun sel, oh the part of the Defendant, that the appli cation would, be opposed, he said. he certainly never could come to a decision without hearing all the parties, and that therefore the hasiness should stand over. Mr. M' Mahon. who was in Court, on day-rule, hoped his Lordship would pot come to such a deter mination. In that case he would be obliged to remain in prisonhatil the next ternhas he could not obtain a day-rule in the vacation; and the attachment having , issued at the suit of his sister-in-law, for the sum o f 261. only, he thought would be a farther induce ment to his Lordship, not to allow of any delay. -The Loan CHAsett.Loß then, with great feeling, assured the Plaintiff that he would duly investigate the matter, and do justice between the parties, on hearing both. As he had cognizance of the matter in the term, it was in his power, he said, to die- charge the Plaintiff from the attachment at any time, and he would do so if he was suckled to it. His Lordship the ordered that the ponies should at tend at his house. by their Gaged. at test o'clock the following morning, when the fullest investiga ' Lion should take place. s OURT OF IKING'S-IlEfecti, WIRTRIDIRRII, Sums 16.

' The Plaintiff was a clothier in Wiltshire; tl.e De fendant a woollen-draper in Illackfriars-road ; and the aaion was brought to recover the price of three pieces of blue cloth. The Plaintiffhaving proved Lis case • on the pan of the Defendant, the Lea rne d C ounse l contended, that in the first place these goods were sent in without order ; and in the second, that they were goods not of a q..'ality CIUAI to the price charged, being dyed alas lulwood instead of indigo, which appeared from as experiment that had been ma.'e with boiled vinegar on one piece of them. The Learned Counsel recommended it to some of the Jury, whom be observed to wear blue coats. to try the experiment. by boiling them in vinegar, when they went home. If they were in digo dyed, it would f..sten the colour, but if dyed with logwood, it would discharge it. It appeared, however, that the teodant had kept the goods upwards of six months, without finding any fault with them, and that the price charged was a fair price for goods of that quality. The Jury accordingly found a verdili of' 641. Ss. for the • cOatilON Fa.F.As, wesretuirrat, June 46. The Sitting after Term, at Westmirster, cein menced this day. At ten o'clock, Lord Chief Justice Massenixo took his seat oa the Bench, and heard NISI Prior trials until four o'clock, when the Coot' was adjourned until Satarday,as his Lordship, according to the general usage, will sit to-morrow at Gniklhall. m the City. Only two causes were heard; and the following only was worthy of ITIIIIOFIRLD V. FAO& Serjeant Bier, on the part of the Plaintiff, stated that his client was a hotelier. living in D 6 ke - strnti. Bloomsbury, acid that this was an aaion brought against the Itereadant, as Treasurer of the St. Giles's Volunteers, to recover the sum of 71. the value of four buttocks of beef, which the Defend ant, according to order, had furnished for the use of the Carps. The Learned Serjeant then went into a particular statement of the circumstances of the case, and concluded by saying, that hi had no doubt, when the evidence he hhd to produce was beard, of obtaining a verdict to the amount of the damages laid in the declaration. Several witnesses were then called. from whose testimony it appeased, that the St. Giles's Volun teers, sine* their institution, were in the habit of dining together annually, on the 33 of August, either at Finchley Common, or at some place within a few man of town. Preparatory to this festival, some time previous to the ati of last August, an order was sent to the Defendant, who lived in the parish, to Tarnish four prime buttocks of beef, not less than thing pounds weight each, faked and dressed. by the 'genies of the 2.1 of August. The day artivert o rand the beef was sent, according to the dinlions, ie eke Ortinly-rocan, at the British Mu ltiunit bus est being to the taste of the St. Giles's Irliallielft e lit Plaintiff was required to take it bask via. on an allegation that it stunk so mdch it was impossible it could be eaten. This desire was not complied with, end the allegation contra dieted; eat when the bill was furnished, the Trea surer, who is the nominal Defendant, refused to dis. l charge it, and the aaion was brought. The Plaintiff having closed his came-- Sateen Samsun, for the Defendant, made an able std elo.ut defence to the Court ; in the course of which he stated, that the evidence of the Plaintiff was perfeelly cerrea, but that be would re:y enireiy on the account that would be given of the state of the beef, when sent home, on the even ing of the 2.1; and of its progress towards putrefac don, sill the evening of the Ith, when it became so very offensive, that it was interred. Teri or twelve Witnesses were then called. who all stated, that when the beef was brought home. the outside looked black, and though apparently done to rag'. the inside was quite raw. One of the pieces stunk abominably. and had several maggots ia it ; two others were very much tainted, and the fourth, though it might have been sweet, yet was cooked iq such a manner, that it could not be used, and was buried with the rest, on the 4th of August.
