LITERATURE. MR. LAWLESS'S HISTORY of IRELAND DURING THE REIGNS of GEORGE I. 11. 111. and IV. This work we understand will shortly be in the Press of Messrs. Whittaker and Co. Since its announcement we have returned to the pages of Mr. Lawless's History of Ireland, of which we have now before us the third edition, printed in Edinburgh ; of the style and manner in which the forthcoming work will be executed, we cannot give a more reasonable conjecture than by the opinion our readers may form from the passage we take indiscriminately from the volume before us. Mr. Lawless commences the reign of William the Third with the following reflections. We think they are written with a good and generous feeling, though palpably breathing that indignant mind which felt for the prolonged calamities of his native land : " The surrender of Limerick, on the coadition of Irish freedom, closed the struggle between this enuntry and England. The right of William to the Irish throne was acknowledged and submitted to, and the establishment of the civil and religious liberties of Irishmen was expected to have succeeded to the intolerance of fanaticism and the rapacity of monopoly. The battle was bravely fought by the Irish people; and from the character which their il lustrious opponent enjoyed in his own country, they most reasonably hoped that they might repose vvith confidence on the faithful fulfilment of any treaty to which the necessities of the English monarch might have compelled him to accede. Ire land therefore sheathed her sword, in the ingenu ous confidence of having an honourable enemy to treat with. How those expectations were fulfilled— how that confidence was preserved—how the honour of the English nation has been maintained in her solemn treaties with Ireland, let it be the office of history to record. It has hitherto been our duty to relate the struggles of an armed, though abused nation, with the jealousy, the bigotry, and the rapacity of England. The reader has waded through scenes of slaughter and desolation. He has followed the Irishman in his various efforts to defend the religion anti liberties of his country. During this sad melancholy proaress, he was some times relieved by the spectacle of successful re taliation or unprovoked aggression; and he has been often consoled by the temporary exhibition of a courage which would add lustre to the proudest achievements of ancient or modern (lays. Until the period to which we have now arrived, we had never to contemplate the cowardly exercise of a tyranny which trampled on the man it de ceived; which tortured the victim it disarmed; wheti pledged its faith in order to betray ; and with all the contemptible malice of a voracious jealousy, was perpetually plundering the courage which it feared. _ _ _ " That revolution which was the fruitful parent of so many blessings to England, was the copious source of Ireland's bitterest sufferings; the great event which completed the establishment of British freedom, confirmed the slavery of Ireland. The links of that chain which were struck from the English nation were more than doubled on the mind and the arm of Ireland. Zhe accumulated vengeance of the last two hundred years, was poured on the devoted head of our country by the monarch of immortal memory.' Even the mise• ruble instruments of English despotism were chained to the oar ; they should strike at the will of their masters, and truckle to their passions, if they hoped to preserve their confidence. The little miserable monopolists whom the reader will see exhibiting from time to time on the political stage of Ireland, were little more than the well paid exe cutioners of their fellow citizens; their duty was to wield the lash and torture the victim ; their em ployment was the degradation and impoverishment of their country; their wages, the government of that country which their folly or their treason, or their avarice had wasted. Every revolution ex perienced by Ireland, from the invasion, but left a new ingredient of bitterness in the cup of misfor tune. Every change was from bad to worse; so that the Irish patriot who sympathised with her fortunes, might have lamented that the sword of annihilation had left a subject on which her future tyrants could indulge their malice. A celebrated writer on the English Constitution, speaking of the various revolutions which took place in Eng land, has the following observations : " If we peruse the history of England,' says De Lohne, we shall be peculiarly struck with one circumstance to be observed in it, and which dis tinguishes most advantageously the English govern ment from all other free governments-1 mean the manner in which revolutions and public commotions have always been terminated in England. If we read with some atteotien the history of other free states, we shall see the public dissentions that have taken place in them, have constantly been ter minated by settlereents, in which the interests only of a few were really provided for, while the grievances of the many were hardly, if ever, at tended to. In England the very reverse has hap pened, and we find revolutions always to have been terminated by extensive and accurate provisions for securing the general liberty.' " In Ireland we have hitherto found that revolu tions terminated in the forging of new chains and the multiplication of new tortures. The liberty of England aod the slavery of Ireland have invariably proceeded together; Ireland going down as Eng land ascended. Posterity have justly concluded that the rights of Irishmen and the prosperity of England cannot exist together—a melancholy truth, which the - events of the present day only contribute to confirm, and which is still left to the enlightened English Government of future days to refute. The lights of history cannot be extinguished, nor her powerful voice silenced. The conclusions we have drawn are irresistible, and the idle violence which attempts to punish their publication only impresses those troths more deeply on the mind. The glories of William and of Anne—the victories of Marlboe rough, and the universal conquests of Chatham, • have been the most disastrous epochs of Ireland. Never was the heart of our country so low as when England was the envy and the terror of her enemies. The sounds of English triumphs were to her the sounds of sorrow—the little tyrants who ruled her were inflamed with courage, and urged on with increased rancour—the unhappy Catholics of Ireland, who always constituted the nation, were doomed to be again insulted and tortured with im punity—and the protestant Parliaments of our country, as if their existence depended on their ser vility, will be seen sacrificing even their own pro perties, as well as those of their Catholic country men, to the insatiable monopoly of England—yet all those scenes were the offspring of that revolu tion in which Engiishmen most justly triumph—a revolution which, De Lolme says, terminated by a series of public Acts in which no interests but those of the people at large were considered and provided for. The series of public Acts which the same revolution produced in Ireland, were directed to sacrifice the peace, happiness, and seeutity of Irish men to the establishment of a contemptible mono poly, which rendered them for seventy years the degraded slaves of a system that beggared and in suted them. The enlightened Proteetant of the present day, looks back with horror on that profli gate folly which gratified the malignity of a foreign country, in the enactment of a system of legislation which puts into the shade the more humane, be cause less lingering despotism of the inquisition. lie shudders at the recollection of that infatuated spirit of ascendancy which chained the hand of in dustry, barbarized the infant mind, broke up all the social feelings, bribed the child to betray his parent, and the perjured apostater, to plunder the innocent an d conscierithm Is. ne Protestants of the present ; day hasten with one voice to cancel the odious re coiJ and to bur y it in 0;04 oblivion, Th e Ease lish revolution of 1688, for the anniversary of which the bells of ascendancy ring the annual peal, was the consummation of Irish suffering—it should be there.. fore looked on by the honest Irishman, as a theory from which he might derive gratification in the con templation, but as a practical curse, with which his unfortunate country was visited at the very moment she ought to have shared in its blessings. The Protestant of the present day thus reasons ; he adopts the language and the opinions of that great man, whose towering genius first contributed to dis sipate the fog of religions prejudice, and expose the miseries which it concealed. Cheerfully does he bow to the reasoning of the great Edmund Burke, when he thus describes the Constitution of 1688, as practised in Ireland by the Parliamentary task , masters. " I cannot,' says our great countryman, in his letter to Sir Hercules Langrishe, ‘. possibly con found in my mind all the things that were done at the revolution, with the principles of the revolution ; as in most great changes, many things were done from the necessities of the time, well or ill under stood, from passion or from vengeance, which were not only not perfectly agreeable to its principles, but in the most direct contradiction to them. I shall not think that the deprivation of some millions of all the rights of citizens, and all the interest in the Constitution, in and to which they were horn, was a thing conformable to the declared principles of the revolution. This lam sure is true, relatively to England (where the operation of these anti-prin ciples comparatively were of little extent); arid some of our late laws, in repealing Acts made im mediately after the revolution, admit that some things then done were not done in the true spirit of the revolution. But the revolution operated dif ferently in England and Ireland, in many, and these essential particulars. Supposing the principles to be altogether the same in both kingdoms, by the application of these principles to very different ob jects, the whole spirit of the system was changed, not to say reversed. In England it was the struggle of the great body of the people for the establishment of their liberties against the efforts of a very small faction, who would have oppressed them. In Ire land it was the establishment of the power of the smaller number, at the expence of the civil liberties and properties of the whole. It was, to say the truth, not a revolution, but a conquest ; which is not to say a great deal in its favour.' " PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank itock 3 per Cent. Red. 39 Der Cent. Cens. ......

A g7F - 310 LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1829. The " Diplomatic disclosures" oldie Coif, rier Francais seem to have staggered the money dealers and speculators on 'Change yesterday afternoon, in a way wllich speaks little for their political sagacity. The subject is very properly commented on in the Times of this morning ; but the wonder is, that its private correspondent says there is no doubt of its truth, that is, of the treaty, and that the public indignation is greatly excited in Paris ! Excited indeed!—at what?— at the apprehension of an Austrian army to overawe the public spirit, and beard the military genius of France, because 30,000 of its warriors are to be despatched to Turkey ? Is the power of France so reduced then that it cannot spare 30,000 men—or the stability of the Royal Go vernment so insec►_►re that it cannot trust its safety but to Austrian swords ? Ridiculous. The Bourbons have too keen a recollection of past events, and must entertain too much respect for the French people, to hazard, nay, to provoke a repetition of scenes and events which would send them forth once more, and for ever, outcasts from a station which they could neither honour nor adorn, because they failed to appreciate. But it cannot be. Prince POLIGNAC has too much good sense—too long an experience in diplomatic matters—has too much respect for the intellect of the age and the spirit of improvement so univer sally at work, to counsel the King of FRANCE to adopt measures or to become a party to treaties so diametrically at variance with the interests of France and the stability of the House of BOUR BON. National pride has been too recently wounded in France to brook the - appearance of Austrian surveillance, much less the proximity of an army of controul, and the Austrians know it. They may join in treaties offensive and defensive, but the spell which linked the as sembled nations in fearful unity for their mutual safety, has passed away. The master spirit which roused them in bondage to achieve their deliver ance bath departed, but left the magic of his name as a heritage of glory which young French men will cherish, while her veteran warriors burn at the remembrance of her past days as hey mourn over the present destiny of France. But there is no reason for alarm, even supposing a treaty of alliance offensive and defensive were to take place between France, England, and Aus tria. On the contrary, it would be a sufficient guarantee against the further encroachment of Russia. It would at once put a period to her ambition, and limit, if not restrain, her demands upon Turkey. There can be no doubt that the progress of the Russian arms, both in Europe and Asia, is viewed with uneasiness by Austria —with jealousy by France—and with anxiety by England ; but there are no real grounds for appre hension, so long as the great Powers of Europe understand each other. The SULTAN may he obstinate to reason—he may even reject the mediation of England and France—which offer of mediation is a proof in itself that the destiny of Turkey is not left at the mercy of Russia — but though the armies of NICHOLAS should reach the walls of Constantinople—and the pro bability increases daily —set we say that there is no ground of apprehension for the ultimate in tegrity of the Turkish empire from the aggression of Russia, so long as England, France, and Austria, watch over the contest, and cordially understand each other. Why, their own indivi dual and conjoint interests are the best security in the world for this assumption. They may bear awhile with the profession of Russian mo deration, wishing rather to soften than to irri tate—more desirous to accept explanation than to question motives too strictly, but if events square not with professions, and acts with solemn assurances—then, indeed, it will be time to put on the armour of remonstrance— and to follow it up, if occasion should still require it, by action, prompt, vigorous, and decisive. But not till then. It is wiser to appease than to provoke— better to endeavour to repair the wounds that exist, than by intemperance to widen the breach which temerity may enter, but which only repent ance can ever repass. We have occasionally noticed in our columns the excessive, we might almost add, the poi sonous impurity of the Thames water, mentioning at the same time our regret and surprise that some decided steps were not taken either by the Government, or by some influential Company, to obtain it from a healthy and efficient channel. This regret is increased from the circumstance of the very general complaints that are now made every where on the subject. We have repeat edly letters from individuals, signing themselves " fathers of families," and who date from various parts of the Metropolis, complaining in bitter , terms of the very offensive quality of the Thames water, and requesting to know when there is likely to be some alteration in the present method of supply. On this subject we may here take the opportunity to say once for all, that we really cannot tell. Plans, we believe, are in progress, by which a purer supply of one of the most ne cessary articles in existence will be ensured ; but when, where, or how, these plans are to he put into execution, we know no more than our enquirers themselves. One thing, however, we may venture to tell them for their consola tion. There is a new Filtering Machine, sold, we believe, by Mr. ROBINS of the Strand, which possesses the singular recommendation of being able to purify and chrystallize the very worst pos sible water. It is of a most convenient and port able nature ; is simple and speedy in its process of purification ; cheap in its price ; and, in short, the very thing for those numerous "fathers of families" who have honoured us by their communications. Lisbon Papers have been received, but their contents are unimportant. Orowro, JULY 10.—The Junta of Administration of the General Society of Agriculture, &c. of the Upper Douro, has published an official notice, to the effect that the Junta having, in January last year, represented to his Ma jesty the necessity of providing means to preserve the lives of persons shipwrecked on that coast, his Majesty, with his noml regard to humanity and religion, had been pleased by his Royal resolution to sanction a plan for this purpose. A safety boat, with all the necessary apparatus, is to be provided. A building shall he set apart as a refuge for prisoners saved from shipwreck, where they may receive all possible assistance : in one part of. the building the safety boat, &c. shall be kept, in the other the shipwrecked per sons shall be received and provided for, and it shall there fore be furnished with stoves, clean beds, and every other necessary, apparatus, &c. Above this asylum there shall be a bell, which is to be rung as a signal, when any ship, boat, or prisoner is in danger. A keeper of this asylum shall be appointed, who shall reside on the spot to take care of the safety-boat, &c. to ring the bell when any shipwreck occurs ? and to give NCIE YESTERDAY.

On the 25th, the same proclamation was to be made on the island do Principe (Prince's bland), by Joao Maria Xavier de Brito, Governor of the two islands. The Board of Trade gives notice that a Tripolitan brig, called the Matruka, commanded by Rais Zurich, and carrying six guns, has sailed from Tripoli, to cruise against the ships of those Powers who are at variance with the Regency. Advices from Bucharest to the 20th ult. state as positive information that General GEismAR was concentrating his forces with a view of striking a great blow. These accounts also con firm the arrival of General TOLSTOY, with the Russian reserve, on the banks of the Danube. A superior school was about to be formed at Bucharest, to which several French Professors hail been invited. GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

Consols opened at the same price they left off at yesterday, 881 for the account, since which they may be quoted at 84; the state of the market may be attributed more to commercial concerns than political informa tion. The letters from Manchester this day are very gloomy, it is feared that the great failure there will be the cause of many other houses stopping. The Foreign market is void of the least interest, and prices are nominal. Sincapore Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 15th March. The papers of the 12th state the arrival there of the Governor General, in the Enterprise steamer ; his Lordship's health is perfectly re-esta blished. Accounts have been received from Batavia of the 10th April; no new political event had taken place. Two Lisbon Mails had arrived by the Marl borough and Magnet, the first sailed the 2Gth July, and the latter the 2d of August. It is reported that the Equitable Life Insurance Office has offered to lend the City the one million, half this year and the other half next year, should the Bank decline the loan.

In the early part of the morning Consols began to give way, since which a panic took place in the market, and Consols fell from 881 to 87,i, but at present a slight reaction has occurred, and Consols may to this time be quoted 88k, buyers. All was bustle and confusion on 'Change, and in the market every person was anxious to know the cause of the sudden fall. We have reason to know that it originates in the ship of the line Gloucester being put into commission for foreign service, and report says three more ships of the line, owing to the Russians augmenting their naval force in the Mediterranean. We also understand that the article of hemp has got up 6/. per ton.—This cer tainly looks rather warlike. The private letters by the Lisbon mail this morn ing are gloomy. The exchange has fallen there, and discount is getting up. Letters have keen received from Oporto, of the 28th, which state that two more persons have been ordered for execution. In the Foreign market Danish Stock has fallen 2 per cent. and Russian Stock 1 per cent. An express has arrived from Paris—the contents have not transpired. THREE O'CLOCK It is now stated on 'Change that the Gloucester, Melville, Kent, and another ship of the line, are ordered to the Mediterranean. Accounts have been received from Vienna, that the Russians are in full !march on Adrionople. The Turke are collecting all the troops they can muster to give the Russians battle in the plains of Adria nople. The late great forgery at the Custom House has been discovered. Consols for Account, 87i. MARRIED.—On the 11th inst. at Cantray, liiverness•shire, by the Rev. CHARLES FYVIE, of Inver ness, ROBERT GRANT, Eq. M.P., to MARGARET, only daughter of the late Sir DAVID DAVIDSON. " TIIE LETTER."— The following letter has been received from Lord ELDON in reply to one written by Mr. Errts : " Sir,—l have received your let►er, together with that enclosed, supposed to be mine; the latter is a forgery, and I shall use my best endeavours to discover the author of it. " I am, Sic, with respect, your obedient servant, "London, Sth August, 15.29. " ELD ON." " John Ellis, Esq., Newry." According to the Bavarian Law, says the Prussian State Gazette, whenever a piece of land is left uncultivated, any individual may give notice to the pro prietor of his intention to till the same; and if, withi❑ a twelvemonth after, the proprietor does not himself bring the land in question into tillage, he is obliged to submit to the transfer of his land, at a valuation, to the individual giving notice as aforesaid. _ _ - - When the celebrated Lady MARY WORTLEY MONTAG uit was at Belgrade, she lodged with a great and rich Effendi, a man of wit, and of a very agreeable hu mour, who constantly dined with her, and drank wine without any scruples, on which subject her Ladyship ral lied him not a little. He answered, smiling, " That all things in the world were made f or th e use an d p l easure o f man,' and that God would not have let the vine grow, Were it a sin to taste its juice ; but that, nevertheless, the law which forbids the use of it to the vulgar was very wise, because such sort of folks have rarely sense enough to take it with moderation." The fact is, the Effendi (that is to say, the learned) have no more faith in the inspi rations of the Prophet than in the infallibility of the Pope. Ignorance and superstition has long been losing ground in Turkey. A young woman lately come to Broughty Ferry, afflicted, it was thought, with dropsy. So ill, indeed, was she, that she could scarcely walk, even with the aid of two crutches. She hail only been in the Ferry a single day, and bathed o nce , w h en t h e b ene fi c i a l e ff ects of the water became apparent, for the dropsy completely vanished, or rather transformed itself into a fine healthy c hild. A similar event occurred to another female resi dent in Broughty Ferry. Her case of dropsy., however, was apparently more desperate, for she was delivered of twins. —Aberdeen Chronicle. --- At the Waterford Assizes, a libel case came on which was of a very aggravated nature. The plaintiff was a Miss ANTHONY, and the defendant, Miss Evarts, an elderly spinster, aged 50, who charged t h e plaintiff with the murder of her illegitimate children. Sir. SHELL was counsel for plaintiff. The defence set up was partial insanity; and from letters which were read it appears that jealousy prompted the defendant, lest she should be married to a Captain RUTLAND, who was pay ing his addresses to her. The plaintiff got a verdict of 500/ , tiarnageh and 6d. cost!. SMITHFIELD. Coarse heavy Lowland Meadow Hay £2 4 to £2 15 New Meadow Ilay 2 13 2 18 Useful Old Ditto 3 3 3 10 --....—....

About Doncaster, where they are most forward, cutting is more general; but the Mal ton way it will be a fortnight yet before the labours of the reaper are put into full requisition. The state of the weather, in the mean time, will be looked to with great interest and anxiety,, for a few :clays at this crisis will do much towards either confirming the bad effects which the ungenial season has already produced ❑pon the crops, or will go far towards correcting them. For the last few days the weather has been all that the most fidgetty agriculturist could desire— genial and glowing; but last night a change took place, and all this day the rain has been descending in repeated and heavily-descending showers. At such a moment this must be very unfavourable to the heavy corn, and dispiriting to the farmer. I have made it a point of inquiring of every farmer with whom I had an opportunity of conversing about the state of the crops and the prospect of a good or bad harvest, and at these interviews accident has brought me into contact with men from almost every part of the country. In a district of such extent, and with such a variety of soil and cultivation, the esti mates of nten will be as different as their farms, and their calculations not easily re ducible to a common standard. But, upon comparing all their reports, I should say a fair sum mary of them was, that the spring crops are an average crop this year, but the wheat certainly below the average as to quantity, and exceedingly inferior in quality. The causes which influence the con dition of the grain do not seem to affect the amount of the produce, for an intelligent farmer from the neighbourhood of Mahon assured me that, in the season of 1826, which was the very hot one, al though the wheat was prime in its quality, yet the returns were any thing but satisfactory. The wheat generally is not matured enough to see whether the ears are growing, and, if they have tolerably fine weather for the next fortnight, the farmers look to the harvest with any thing but despondency. Throughout the country the condition of the la bourers is described as very distressed, and the poor rates are heavily felt. At present they have 2s. Gd. per day wages, but in the winter not more than 7s. a week. The shopkeepers complain of the stag nation of trade, and of the difficulty of getting in their bills. The late races were the worst attended that have been for years, and this accidental circum stance has come most inopportunely in aid of the general gloom at this moment. The market here is most abundantly supplied with provisions of all sorts, and at the following prices S. d.

The threat was made at a public-house, to Enw. M‘Laucrum. His plan was stated to be, that he would by bribing, get admitted into Mr. O'CoNNELL's room, and there shoot him with a pistol, upon which was to be en graved Mr. O'CorrstELL's name ; that was to he left in the room, and then it was presumed, that it would be supposed that Mr. O'CONNELL had shot himself. The case occu pied a great deal of time in investigation, at the termina tion of which, Mr. COLE said he thought it a ease for a peace information, and ordered the prisoner discharged. rtoenterinto a recognizance to keep the peace,ed himself in o a n suns the of 501., and two sureties in 201 . each.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. POINT OF PRACTICE. The LORD CHANCELLOR had got the masters' who are in town, to consult upon the question' whether upon filing an interpleading bill, it be o r , cessary to have an affidavit prior to the Cour ts granting an injunction ? The result was, tbatlf affidavit beyond the denial of collusion was re4V site; and the Court now made the rule conform: lb l • to this result. It will be recollected that Sir Joho Leach, when Vice-Chancellor, decided agreeably to this order, but that Sir Anthony Hart, and again Sir Launcelot Shadwell ruled differently—hence the present controversy. EX-PARTE GORTON IN THE MATTER:OP LOCKER, BANKRUPT. The LORD CHANCELLOR had read the affidavits' and the impression they produced had confirmed the opinion he had delivered when the arguments wer s closed. The first question was, whether the Ca ur , t had jurisdiction; and next, if it had, whether t h ' 4 was a fit case for the exercise of that jurisdiction 111 compelling repayment, and declaring a forfeiture of till debt ? That the Court had jurisdiction was beg ot ' u doubt,that the repayment ought to be called.for,th ere could be as little; but it would be premature to de clue the debt forfeited, until the verdict of a jik,rY had been returned upon the facts. A creditor lia r been offered a compromise which he refused to se cede to; he subsequently authorised his attorney negotiate for the sale of his debt ; the debt was so nominally for 19s. in the pound, but in point of fact in such a way as to yield 225. in the pound, and 1° a person substantially representing the bankruP The creditor had sworn that he knew nothing of the ' party with whom his attorney had dealt being i° any way connected with the bankrupt; the o ther side alleged that he was informed of this fact. u p der these circumstances the Court directed an Wu" to try whether the creditor had reason to belies or suspect, that the party purchasing the debt d represent the bankrupt. A WARD. L The LORD CIIANCELLOR stated, that he nauA rea d d the papers in the case in which Mr. Knight ha d applied for leave to take a ward out of the jurisdiro tion of the Court, and he had found it impossible t acc Mr.ed to the application. e KNIGH T observed, that any security or un f dertaking would be given, not only by the f a ther ° the ward, but by persons of the highest respe cts, bility to any extent. His LORDSHIP said, that if the ward was pen it ; ted to go out of the jurisdiction of the Court , t l Court could have no further controul over him , ° fi t in such a case, should an application be made to tils 0 effect, the Court would feel extremely re l u ctant t, enforce a pecuniary penalty on the securities for 0111, misconducted. It was therefore absolutely oe ce ' sary to refuse the present petition. RE GOODeHILDE. Of This matter was called on upon the subject , costs. Mr. AGAR was on the one side, and RUSSELL on the other. In the course of wrangling observations made at the bar, 'ate ( ' The LORD CHANCELLOR felt it necessary to 1--, v fere, by saying, you had better, Mr. Russell, oli fi n s t Mr. Agar to finish before you rise again to inte rtur him ; upon which ir Mr. RUSSELL said, if I am not to rise, my '- till Mr. Agar finishes, that will never be. Mr. AGAR, after a pause, and with great war° said—my Lord, if we are to have these obserl; tions made at the bar of the Court of Chance r y' d will be infinitely better to have the Court ahOl i9be i, altogether; and made, too, by .a gentleman wh ° encouraged here to be a reporter of this Court. „J The LORD CHANCELLOR interrupted the Le ar l '..; s Counsel by saying —Well, the best way of p uttu. , ‘ an end to them on your part is to pass them c' s "' without further notice. Mr. AGAR—But—but— hav e The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Agar, if J°" ;, to any thing to say to Mr. Russell, you must 511 will him out of Court. I must request that r t. 0 41.• proceed to address yourself to the case, and,t o dress me. One circumstance that creates grea t fr " n convenience and delay at this bar is, that gentlenceh are very much more in the habit of addressing e a other than' the Court.
