DUBLIN, DECEMBER 16. ASSAU On Thursday morning, at half-past ten, Mr. Wallace, who had been Leading Counsel in the cause of Coila and MeNatmara, and had stated the Plaintiff's case on Saturday last, was met in Sack villt-street, sorer the comer of Geary-street,. by the Defendant, Mr. It. NPlslamara, Hurl a person wear iug mustachios, whose name is yet unknown. After a word or two, spoken by Mr. Richard M'Neonara, intimating, that what he was about to do was in consequence of Mr. Wallace having, in his state ment, spoken as he had done, of Mr. NPlslamora's wife, he instantly, and without any request of ex phitation in satisfaction, gave Mr. llfallace a violent blow on the left aide of the face, and, while stag gering under the blow. gave him • I blows of a whip, with which he was armed, upon the head. The violence of the blow lied driven Mr. Wallace towards the door of Mr. Burke's house, winch was distant about three yard* from Mr. Wallace when 1 , he received the first blow. %%lieu recovering from the effect of the blow, lee was at the door of the house, when %tome person from within came for ward. Mr. M*Narnara said the person who accompanied him birth fled towards Elephant-1,41w, from whence they in a few intoutes eacaped. It appears that the waylaying of Mr. Wallace, and the commission of this unintrelleled outrage. had been meditated from the Sunday pieced*, but no intimation of any kind that Mr. I*Nattiora bad been offended at any part of theta:dement made by Mr. Wallace had been given to biol. The whole hail been kept a profound secret until the moment the crime was !wryer:act!. At the tune the out rage was coutinitteil, there were seven other isemsons besides the two by whom it was actually commit ted, waiting ut a short unit convenient thstmer, for the purpose, we doubt not, of the escape of the offenders, had there been any attempt made to secure them. Mr. Wallace was met by two Gentlemen of the liar, i 11111 l ediately after the flight of Mr. 111.Na meta, a n d pruceetted with them to Court, when, after a short consultation with sonic of his flicodis, an affidavit of the facts was made, and a warrant granted by time Chief Judtire of the Bench. Since that time the minis" exertions of the Po live hare been made to :11 rest the nifendero, but, tatifurrdinately, for the present without ell.ct.— Mr. ‘Vallace was on his way to Court aluue. and a ithout any means of tit lence ; M.Naniara was armed wish a gig whip. Soon as Nl`Nrimara had satiated Isis viodn tire feelings, lie spiang into a gig and drove oil' with his friend. ‘Ve make the following extracts from a letter on this subject in 1/se Dublin Register t Saturday fast ;-- " .11r. 11`Narnara was not accompanied by more than one person (who did rut interfer.), Hurt Ni•Nantara had obviously too ii superiority over Mr. Wa%Lice an personal sticaigili to require may ass sistalice. 11 is also stated that the independence of the bar is involved in this transaction.

A very numerous meeting of tl►e inhabitants of Ipswich took place in the Town-hull there on Tuesday, in pursuance of a requisition to the Hai. liftio, for the dotohle purpotie of peti►ioning the King to dismin his Ministers. and of congratulating the Quo en on the abandonment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. F. F. SgEKAIIp. Esq. wss in the Chair, B. BRAM e• Esq. one of the Kailas, having declined taking it. not conceiving it proper, as one of the Chief Magic• trate, or the town, to take an active part in the proceedings, although be believed his sentiments on the subject before the meetisso were pretty well known. After some preliminary discussion the ',vend Resolutions .were reed, en the motion of Mr. S. ALEXANDER. when Admirsl PAGE stepped for ward to propose a counter Address, which was seconded by Dr. WILLIAMS. and after considerable clamour it Was read. The Hall was at this time crowded almost to suffocation, and several individuals who were ewer tinned not to be inhabitants, were desired to walk out, but without effect. Sonic confusion took place. hut silence being restored, Mr. 'ELY addassed the meeting at some length, and concluded by proposing the original Address, which was seconded by Mr. J. GREEN. Admiral PAGE again moved that his Address be read as an amendment, and a long and rather stormy discussion took place, in which Dr. Wil liams, Messrs. Wenn. Jackaman. Roclwell. the Rev. Thomas Cobbold, George Roope, Esq. and others took a part. The question was at length put on the original Address, sod.carried by a great majority, with deaf ening shouts of applause. Admiral PAGE said he did not think the decision had been legally taken, and moved that the sup porter. of his * Amendment should adjourn to the White Horse. which they accordingly After their departure the remainder of the Reso lutions were read by Mr. Lawrence, and carried unanimously, its was an Address to the Queen, pro posed by Mr. JOHN KING. Thanks were then voted to the Bailiffs, the Chair man, the Requisitionists, and Alderman ‘Vood, after which the assembly dispersed, with three cheers for the King, and three for the Queen. The Petition to his Majesty is to he presented by Lords Grey most Holland, owl t h is Address to her Majesty by the Members for the Borough. 011 the arrival of the gentlemen at the White Horse, who hid protested against the proceedings at the Town Hall, the Rev. Thos. Cobbold was, on the motwm of Mr. Roslwell, voted into the Chair ; when a series of Resolutions', and a loyal Address to his Majesty, were unanimously agreed to. The Address is to be forwarded to the Earl of Dysart fur presentation to the king. A correspondent from Ipswich writes as ful lows :—" One of the Requisitionists for the Ipswich Address to the Queen having ventured on the Town.hall yesterday sesmight, was marked out by a creditor, who directed his Solicitor the same even ing to proceed immediately against him, although he held security to ten times the amount. Another tradesman told all his workmen that if any of them signed the Address they should be discharged his employ immediately ; his most valuable servant did sign it, and directly packed up his tools, and left of his men accord." On Friday last a very numerous and respectable meeting of the Young Men resident in Ipswich, was held in the Long Room ut the Bear and Crown Inn. E.' Lowrance. Eig. in the Chair; when an Address to her Majesty was luminously agreed to. upon the 27th or Siptembrr last. The accuunt of pensions and annuities granted S. the servants of tile Company wow read. The CHAIRMAN nioved for the concurrence of this Court with the Resolution of the 11.1 Court, for granting a pension of 1,0001. to R. M. Bar nard, E.g. Mr. IJUms wished for some explanation upon the nature of this g rant . Ile observed, that there were two individuals who had retired after a much longer service, having enjoyed much larger salaries, at considerably smaller pensions. Mr. Barnard had a salary of 9501. a year; he was to retire after 22 years service tot a pension of 1,0001. One of the two individuids to whom he had Ander!, had served the Company 13 years longer than Mr. Barnard's period, enioyed a salory of 1,3501. asid hi 4 pension was only 6001. his office being of the tell same character. While he was upon the subject, he wished to call the attention of the Court to a more humble but not less interesting case. There was 2 la bourer who served the Company fur 23 years. He hid beets ruptured in their service, and suffered other accidents which caused the removal of several bones from his skull. He was pensioned off with a small allowance : he took a little shop in the Borough, where he sold tea. The Compauy had adopted a very proper regulation, which pretreated those ger rants who had worked in the tea warehouses, and were pensioned by the Company, from dealing in that article. This poor man's salary was cut oft' in of • nee of that regulation. But then the rep. Winn war to him ass ex post facto law, having been agreed on subsequently to his superannuation. and his setting on the tittle business which he had in tea dealing. As soon as he heard of it, he deter mined to give up his stop rather them lose his pep. lion. But the regulation was enforced with such promptitude, that lie was unable to rescue his pen sion. He hoped some attention would be paid to the injury which liad been thus inflicted. Other wise, be expressed his determination to bring the Metter forward 011 sonic future occasiou. Mr. Losverres agreed with the Hip. Proprietor, in his zeal to protect the labourers, who were as worthy of consideration as their superiors in the service. The Cu AlamAY, referring to the subject of the pensions which had been objected to, said, that the Director. had exercised their discretion, and deter. mined the amount of each according to the ability Lind assiduity of the parties who had to receive them exercised fur the benefit of the Company its the various offices which those parties had tilled. Mr. It. JACKSON defeuded the Directors from imputation. 'Thee best defence of the managenient of the Company's affairs was the best uuderstond ing of it. lie went into a lengthkbiod review of the causes which had occasioned the necessity fur granting the • I pensions about to be proposed. The din • tints of the trade in piece gaud* had led to a correspouding reduction of the establish• melds in India. He maintained the necessity of continuing the trade, though it occasioned a luso, sis it was not to be considered by itself, but rela tively to that stupendous system of commerce sunJ policy, by which they held dominion over seventy mill on+ of people. The pensions were so far from being subjects of complaint in a pecuoi sty point of view, that they were the result ' of spirited economy and judicious retrenchment. He defended the Direction from the suspicion of being subject to the influence and dictation of the Xliiiisters of the Crown; it was less so than ever. Ile remembered when no Director could be ap pelibted without first gaining Treasury letters from Mr. Dundas, to chew that the Government concur red in his election. Mr. Conning, the present Pre- Anklet of the Boatel of Control, declined all inter ' ference in the choice of Directors. The Resolution was put, and carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN moved the concurrence of this Court with the Resolution agreed to by the last Court, for giving a pension of 8001. per annum to George Morgan, Esq. Mr. HUME took that opportunity of reminding the Count of the premature denial which had been given to his insertioos in 1917, that the India trade: was falling off; where:v., at that very moment the account. were nn eking out which had subsequently proved to them more than the truth of all which lie had stated. He bad asserted, that in cootie. (pence of the very high rates of freightage, sod the decrease in the value of the imported commodities, that it was impossible for the Company to compete with the less chargeable freightage and navigation of private traders. He had stated that the lose onon the trade was from 25 to 30 per cent. — Would it he believed, that while a direct and posi tive negative had been giving to that statement. the accounts which were then preparing proved that the lON was from 45 to 30 per east. ? He again ea . oriollteti to know how the proposed Ewing of SOW. per year was to be effected CHAVIIIIAW said, that it WOllllll Sill/eV by a comparison of the propoeed estimate with the cm peeve of teaching the cadets trigonometrical cur veyieg under Mr. Devisee, assistaut to General Madge, Surveyor-General. Mr. Hosts said, that the accounts charged cer tain sums far the nuttructino of four cadets in tri. gonometrical surveying. under Mr. Dawson. and foe the instruction of four other cadets in miring cad "Piing. He wished to know if the new Pro femme, when appointed, would undertake to teach sapping and mining also The CHAIRMAN said he supposed that the new Professor would have n ailing to do with that brooch, which must still be learned tinder Colonel Paisley. Mr. FIUME could not discover in thst case how the saviug of 300/. oas to lie effected, that aim being all that was charged in the accounts for in structions in military surveying. He had no objec tion to the appoiutinent. Let the young Gentle. men have all possible infurinetion to qualify them fur the service of the Compaity, which would be bettered in proportion to the ability of the officers. whose improvement, with respect to the good gi.- venintent of India. could Hot be too highly valued. Above all, he wished to repeat his more than three• told tale, to enforce intention to the- necessity of fitting the cadets for their employments before they should leave this comity, liv compelling them to leer's the langusige of the previuceii. to which they were severally appointed. tie regretted that iii spite of the evils which had accrued from their ne glect of this cautiou, moat of the Cadets landed India, and remained there during the whole period of service, iu utter ignorance of the dialect of the natives whom they were to command, and oath whom they were frequently to act. The Company ought to give the eotablishmeins more officers. All the aceonots received from India skewed the inade. quacy of the appointments at borne to the 'Kerosi ne, of the service.. The 300 Cadets who *roe about to be sent out woidil not till up half the vacancies. To six battalion. , which were kept oil' foot, varying iii the number of each bettaltun born 800 to 1,000 nien, there were no more than 43 &tropes's Officers. There was a similar deficiency of medical Olen. The civil departments generally borrowed them from the regimental surgeons, 54 • that there was not quite one to erery 1,500 men la Extravagance in the increase of those ap pointments would prove positive economy. Mr. LownDES asked if there were really no more than 43 officers to 6,000 men in arms, or was the deficiency occasioned by the absence of misty from their regiments? If the latter were the case, it was a subject which called loudly for reform and better regulation. Mr. MUMS said, that the worthy Proprietor wee perhsps not aware that in India any vacant office to the Commissariat Department was tilled by- office , ; of the line.
