VAL frrzfriugum. We hive to record one of the pobleet acts 'Of li. bend landlords that hits yet come to our knowledge. 00 Wednesday last Earl Fitzwilliam assembled his taunts occupying firma under his Lordship at Milton liduse, where they had been previously re quested to give their attendance, by a circular from his Lotilahip's steward, Wm. Simpson, Ertl. The Noble Earl received his numerous tenantry in the great hall : after each was seated. his Lordship in formed them that he had taken into his moat serious consideration their situation as farmers in the pre seat state of the times : by an atoicable communi cation which he had with some of his tenants who Narl kept a regular account of the out-goings and %peva of their farms. and which ■ccount his •Lordship had investigated. it was clear that ♦ RE DUCTION OF aver * WAS NECESSARY—fur he Was quite satkfieil 'ia kis outs tided, that the reduced pric eof the produce of Me land was nosy permit'. ,ientlg•atablisled, since our velars to payments its sovereigns and shillings. and he did not wish to bold out any delusions that corn would fetch a bet ter price: he was sstisfied in hie own mind that it Mtn lint : it [night nucleate a little according to seasons, but in 110 material degree; and his Lord. ship was of opinion, that any alteration in the Corn Laws could not possibly have the effect of raising the price of the produce of land—he did not meats to hold out any such hopes—he had therefore re duced his rents, under an impreotion that the ave rage of corn in the years 1792, 94, and 95, was about the standard at which we might expect it to keep. His Lordship stated further, that he expected each tenant would stop and dine. and that they wield lid a scaled note directed for each in his seat, stating the rent he had fixed upon their respective farms—and with which he hoped the tenant would hr satisfied. His Lordship considered that the connexiou between landlord and tenant was their mutual and common interest : he was aware that the tenants had embarked considerable cspitals, which they must necessarily do to enable them to occupy their farms properly, and it was but fair that they should be remunerated both for their capital and their trouble. His Lordship next strongly recommended that the labourer shoold have fair and sufficient wages to enable him to live—to live well, and support his family, velthont going to the parish for relief is make up a deficiency of the wages which he oabt to have ; for, in his Lordship's opinion, nothing tended more to lesseu the labourer in his own e ste em as a man. than being obliged to apply for parochial relief: it spoiled him us a labourer, by destroying the proper pride which a man felt iu supporting himself by his own honest exertions. We understand, from undoubted authority, that the reduction which has taken place is from 45 to 3$ per cent, including 15 pa cent, which his Lord. ship took off iu 1815. At the hospitable mansion an excellent dinner was provided for the tenants on this interestinf .. 7 l elision, and upwards or 80 sat down to table. Milton presided, and addressed the tenants in a most eloquent speech, in which he enlarged upon the subject which his noble father bad an agreeably open-d. Many excellent toasts sad sentiments were dank, several songs were sung, and the harmony was kept up at Milian House till late on Thursday morning.—(Starafurd Mercury.) RICHARD A•Lwatewr, Esq. at his •edit on Saturday the 22.1 ult. with the kindest liberality deducted 20 per cent. on his rental on Mark Hall 'goes Harlow, Essex ; and the Rev. Arnim A az- WRIGIIIT enterustned his tenantry, at Mark Hall, on the follooing Thursday, in the most hospitable wanner, and returned to each holder 20 per cent. upon their tithes. The seer. A. D. FLAKSTIAO, returned 25 per cent. upon his tithe., on the 27111 of December. at lambley, Nottinghamshire; arid on New Yeer'Nday the children belonging to the Sunday school. consisting of above 100 boys nod girls (which Pchoul is supported by his benevolence); also the singers at the church, were plentifully es terteined by his orders, at Mr. Bacierit.uVa, in Larabley, with old English fire, roast beef, plum puddibg, and ale. The provisions which were left weregireu to the poor inhabitants of the parish. From a Correspondent ;—" In your paper two or three weeks hack, you said that Sir Gii.seas• Iltsrucort, Bill. had green 13 per rent. to his tenants in Lincolnshire : I can leisure you that the same liberality war extended to oil Sir G.

Az-parte ISHAII/1 AND OTRAIIII, 1w THU MATTE* Or HOWARD AND Glass, PANICRUPTII- The AiTource•Gesaaat. stated tots petition , came before his Lordship i n th e s h a p e an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vire-Cbancel lor, which went to remove Mr. Carroll and °theta from being the ersigoeca of the bankrupts, although they had been chosen by the majority of the creditor., and his Honour had also ordered that they should pay the costs of their own removal. He (the Learnkri Attorney-General) was counsel for M. Carroll and his co-assignees, sod they had, in hit opinion, most properly opptsled from the decision of the Learned Judge. The petition • of Shane stated, that Carroll, Duffe, and Wilkie. were appointed assignees instead of the petitioners, by the threats of the bankrupts ; that one of their creditors, of the name of Bridges, who intended to vote for the pc. titioners as assignees, was influenced by Howard, one of the bsokrupta, from doing so mailer • threat that if he did, he would deprave him of one of his best customers, and the consequence was, that Bridges did not vote at all. The petitioners sub mitted that Carroll and his co-assignees ought Not to Imre been declared the assignees, and prayed that Shine and his list might he de clared the assignees of the bankrupts. There was also an ez-parse petition to stay the assignment of the bankrupts' estate to Carroll. &c. On the 29th November the petitions come on to be heard b e . fore the Vice-Chancellor, and his Honour ordered a new choice of assignees to be made, and that Carroll, &c. should pay the costs of their own re moval from the office of assignees, on the ground of the interference of the bankrupts is the choice of assignees. It was considered, when before the Vice Chancellor, as a new case, as it was the first application that had ever been made to the Court to stay an assignment of bankrupt's effects to as signees who were properly chosen and capable of acting. The jurisdiction of his Lordship in bankruptcy depended on the statute of the Sth George 11. It set forth that assignees should be elected by the 'creditors. and that the Commis. sinners of bankrupts could not interfere, as they were only the Returning Officers end they were bawd to make an assignment whe re the persona chosen assignees were competent to take in point of law. It would be therefore necessary for him to call his Lordship's attention to the 46th section of the sta. tote ; by it the Commissioners were bound to give early notice in the Gazette for as early meeting of the creditors to prove their debt., and for the choice of assignees, and in the choice taking place, they had no discretion as to making the onsgniseot of the bonkrupt's estate. This shelved how anxious the Legislature was that assignment should be spee dily made, for until it was made the estate was vest. ed in the bankrupts. Ina following section of the sta. toe, the Slat, power wee given to the Court to correct the Choice of assignees after assignment was made. but not before. It might be said by his Learned Friends in support of the petition, that if his Lord ship had the power after assigoinent, it would be bet ter to see it before the assignment. He would so. seer them No, for during the litigatios there would be no person to administer the effects of the bankrupts. The jurisdiction of the Court must he founded on the Act of the 3th of Geo. If. and that gave it oone in the present stage. although it did its the subsequent one after essigument. The Vice-Chancellor ought to have told the Petitioners they were premature in their appliestion. at the Commissioners could not withhold the assignment to the assignees, who were the choice of the ere. dimwit. His Honour, however, wee a opinion, that the . pellet ice of tau spe Wing the advertisement for the choice of assignees, was a precedent for suspending the assignment. If the Legislature bed intended to have given the jurisdiction to the Court, they would have token the more core to have given it before assignment as after it. If the decision of his Houour was right, it would lewd to oodles* litigation; for in every choice of assignees where a bankrupt had spoken to a creditor, there yenta be an application to stay an assignment, and there would be no person left to administer the effects of the bankrupt. He would, for the make of ergs mem. sesame that the Court bad the juriadro. The LORD CHANCILLOR-..." I never could VIM derbtsud what my predecemon bad done in baok roptey, witboat they thought dal had ammo jam dieting whirls was not given to them by auy Aet of Parliament." The Arroaxtv-GinnisAL, in continuation, said, with respect to the bankrupts having inlet fered iu the choice of magneem, by threats sad misrepoesetstateus to the general body of creditor*, he said tbe the bankrupt laws would not permit the interference of the bankrupts in the choice of assignees ; but iu mum cases it might be desirous, and be was of opinion that this was oort uf those cam. It was not denied hot there was a general mutes far the two lists, and the the bankrupts had joined in that canvas, • and it was most na tural they should. as they had • great stake de pending. The Ince-Charicelior, boweirer, was of *pinkie that the iuterferetroe of the baekrupts was improper and illegal, and that the assigcees chosen by such means were not competent to serve the office. The LORD CUR/MELLOR...." I ROE of opinion that the chiefs& the Gaud', gg out .f 100 in sunk. rupteies, ore cowed by the interference of bankrupts in the choice of assignees. cud 1 think this is a most proper clue to correct the evil."

The benkropts in this co-e were meet materially interested 'in the adininietration of their effects, and they were of opinion that the oppoiut. enrol of Carroll and his colleagues ci assignees would be more adruntageoui to their estate than If Shawe sod his colleagues were appoiirted. He would ..k, *mould the Court say it was improper fur the bankrupts to state to a creditor, i• If you rote for Carroll and his list us assignees. you will lie pail SOs. in the pound. fur we have the peanut Mafia deuce in their integrity; but if you vole fur Sheoe'a IWt. we will not undertake to say *hat the come- , quences may be; but at the genie time you are at liberty to esercire your own judgment." and floe was all the bankrupts had done, which was ,donti initiated by the petitioners cantraseing to the elec tion of assignees. There wet only one instance of their having used Roy influence with a creditor, sod that was with Bridges. whore debt amounted to only 221. and he did not vote, but if lie had it would not here turned the scale in the moonset of the debts so es to have 'seared the election a Shawe and his colleagues. The bankrupts deirieci, in the most positive terms, that they had held ou t. any threat to Bridges, ami he had made no alfishos vit ,• then the charge was only supported on the be lief of the petitioners. He should have expected that a case would have been made out of colluviou between the bankrupts and the assignees; Carroll was the only one attempted to he charged wish it by the affidavits', there was not a word in them re lative to Duffe and Wilkie. The petitioner, Sham.. could not complain of Carroll as to his canvassing for votes. for be had done the same thing, and it we. sworn that he applied to she basekrapt, Howard, to assist him in his election for assignee. Mr. Roue, Counsel for the Petitioners. said ho rose for the purpose of correcting the latter part 4,f the statement of his Learned Friend. es these was fist a word sf it founded in truth ; it was com pletely denied by the affidavit of Mr. Shave. Mr. MONTAGUR, Counsel with the Avroasist - Glteleat 1., said it was certainly denied, but in Viet Jesuitical way which only went to its confirmation. The LORD CH•NCILLOII--" You wiry let the argument go oa in its regular coarse. Mr. Hearn, for I can emote you I have read all the affidavits from the beginning to the end." The ATTORMIV-GIMIRAL is coolionotion said, that in this case the bankrupts were of tension that their estate would limy eve'' , shilling they were in debted. and leave them a large surplus ; it could not be denied then, that they had so interest io the adminietratioo of their effects.
