Ler • (From the Morning Herald.) b en Znight there was a full attendance of Mem. tb' in . the House of Commons, in the expectation 2 1 some questions would be put respecting the 7 11 loured changes in the Ad m i n i s t ra tion, when Mr. ec 'etary Peel moved the Adjournment of the House Friday next, for the Whitsuntide recess. Mr. ' lit ne, however, merely asked about the time of forward the Army and Miscellaneous Bs reZtes; The Cannin g .

After those motions were dis -41,7, of, and no questions having been put, Thy of the Members quitted the House.— i;t,' Miscellaneous Estimates, which the Chan c"r of the Exchequer had intended to move, n 3O were postponed, as well as the Army Esti- Itt e B till after the recess. The changes in the 4 1 , ( Itnin' istration were freely spoken of about the °ll ses. Besides those previously named (Mr. Vlskisson, Mr. C. Grant, Lord Palmerston, and ir 0 1 Dudley and Ward), it was confidently men that Mr. W. Lamb also retires; and it was as confidently added, that the Marquis of Angle t will resign the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, in Event of Mr. W. Lamb quitting the Secretary -1), and of his other friends in the Cabinet leaving is C t. The necessity for this last-mentioned change A4l llo t very obvious ; but it is neveitheless stated ° llgst the Ministerial revolutions. To supply the 4i:tea vacated by retirements, it is stated that Sir H. Zdinge (the personal friend of the Duke of Wel- Vston) succeeds Lord Palmerston as Secretary at 14 4 ; that M r . F. L ew i s ' tak es th e B oar d o f T ra d e , r: Mr. C.

It is likewise positively An-70u.re.d, that the " Grenville Party," the Wynns k.",rbillimores, with their fourteen or sixteen votes, thelikely to^:turn to office, and to the support of Administration. During Wednesday and Thurs or evenings, Mr. C. W. Wynn quitted the lower I , m. Positio n Bench, and was in close and long con 'tC4tions with Mr. Secretary Peel. , Should the *Cp.& take place,—(should not the negociations, eti are said to be still pending between Mr. IF ; „ . 4 4iissen and the Ministers terminate favourably) g t eVe. Administration will be decidedly Tory, and Q b esitively -against the Catholic Claims, except the liet - nville party should come into the support of the 'flirOstration. MR. HUSKISSON, &c. &c. " (t he following we received last night from a West ()1 the t o wn correspondent : tZle differences between some of the Ministers re tp,,7B in an unsettled state. No doubt is enter ved that Mr. Huskisson is out of office, although lu ti l lFas in frequent correspondence with Mr. Peel 14 4 , 1 ig Thursday and this day, and had an interview 1 1 ) ,;""day with Mr. Peel for about an hour.

Ch ar l es G ran t f rom p u bli c lir t qless is to be attributed to the indisposition of Aster, who is supposed to be in a dying state. ere were several reports circulating in the b t 'le of the day—viz. Lord Dudley to resign, to C_qeceeded by Mr. Goulburn—Mr. Herries to be 'qeellor of the Exchequer. tFrom the Morning Chronicle.) 4 t lti said the Ministerial differences are arranged tik"la present; but we state nothing positive on Vibject. If Mr. Huskisson, Lord Dudley, Mr. Z. and Lord Palmerston withdraw, the Admi ttp7tinn would be very ricketty indeed, if the re. t N , : be taken from the high Tories. Mr. Huskis- N t a lla done well in corning to an eclaircissement in Ited and if he remain in o ffi ce, after th e d ec i s i ve tlq . an took, he will feel himself firmer than he was, tt 4 11 4 the efforts made to retain him will amount Wanfession of the necessity of his presence in the het to keep the Administration together. N A ° supporters of Government are by no means td with Mr. Peel, who has not answered their N tli tiona, In short, there never was a time .Ministers could less afford to part with men of t lenee and abilities. (From the New Times.) p t ,,, 4 e reports which prevailed on Thursday re various changes in the Administration have V C i r ed more consistency. There is no doubt, n_ that s evera l res i g nations have been tendered 4Ce ePted; neither is there any doubt that stre- YI efforts have been made to heal the breach.— It t : 4 efforts, it is believed, have been, or will be, th ' 4 4 and things will be restore d, if n ot wholly gi6l e ll' original footing, at least as near . it pos ‘'4' This is thought to be particularly thee calling t'ltt,regard to Mr. Huskisson, though, ir! g "-k` tl k e business of the Commons last night, the „ s °V 4 e et Ceas e d to apply to that Hon. Gentleman 'lp the title of Secretary, by which it had . been ?e , 1 , y r .4141 Y accompanied during his official existence. Ruskisson's abilities we have never been 4 ,,t 4 t t ,i ()r unjust. It is their amount, indeed, as IN Ni t ,'„ Yesterday, which, as long as he was t q `, 4 to follow a line of his own, led . th," ll bt whether his presence in the Councils cation might not be a source of weak -44(. ra ther than of strength. But to Mr. pe n l-B° H, acting as becomes the necessities of the t ` )(31 t o th t not sacrificing the interests of the_ country ', , o l :„Ves which might be usefully tried under more 41 b1 1 . "ule circumstances, NVO neither have, nor pos t(lh c h t "ave, any objection. Let him think more `et the resent and a little less of the future—let him .n actio n even since he brought his principles into 4004.1')h the state of things has so far changed Nthat if it was imprudent to venture 11 '04, 4 '°Ient s when he launched into them, it t ° .0 r1 ;: e Positively dangerous and possibly ruinous lat actirn'l4lle them now—let him acknowledge that it fo-re, of general peace he failed in obtaining t he e c - i e 'gn nations a return for the sacrifice of all end a l. „; tl sive protections of - our trade, our shipping, wh- ePtrtoslpvaerrity it rekin woul ddled be Eu madness to expect in rope, and every country is more disposed than ever to lock up all its resources within itself, to prepare for the mighty events which may ensue, and the conflicts into which it may be forcced. Let him, therefore, in re turning to power, adjourn the pursuit of those ob jects which a state of deep and universal tranquillity could alone render attainable. Let him turn from experiments to facts. Let nothing be given to chance. All, at a moment like the present, mast be caution, steadiness, and unanimity. There must be no fear for the stability of our interests at home, when there arc many sources of alarm from abroad. Then, and then only, will Mr. HuskEsson's resumption of official duties perfectly satisfy the country; because then alone will he possess her confidence. His abi lities will become her pride, because they will he use fully exerted. He will serve her as she wishes to be served, and his name and presence will impart union and strength where they have hitherto tended to divide and to enfeeble. We are happy to find that Earl Dudley was acting last night as usual in the House of Lords. It is most important for the maintenance of our influence abroad that there should be no alteration in his Department. Were our Foreign Minister to be changed this mo ment, an impression would immediately be created that we no longer intended to enforce the treaty of the 6th of July, The last bond of the Triple Alliance would be dissolved, and we should lose the only hold which we still retain over Russia and France.

The metropolis still continues engrossed with the rumoured changes in the Ministry, and even the Derby and Oaks are almost forgotten. For our own parts, we are very little concerned about the final issue of the contest between liberal and illiberal principles, being satisfied how it must terminate ; but at the present crisis of foreign affairs, we should sincerely deplore a recurrence of that anarchy, of which we have surely had sufficient experience during the last twelvemonths. We are decidedly attached to the liberal party ; but we should be sorry indeed to see them sepa rate from the Noble Duke at the head of the Government, who, by his splendid fame, his high honour, his conciliatory and manly character, is a tower of strength--if united with the intel ligence and wisdom of the day. Up to the hour of going to press nothing positive has transpired—but strong hopes are entertained that these unhappy misunderstandings win kertninate in a general reconciliation. T: 4e French Papers of Thursday contain no furti- r news from the East of Europe, possess ing a y novelty or importance. 'We may expect to be (laily,,.'ipplied with different versions of the last evv, general opiniohLZ6Dr , t ti; a new one succeed it. The es ,, nt is, that the Russians will obtain rapid poSses - .. 4 , of the Principa lities, and then concentrate their disposable force toward s Adrianople, where the SULTAN yet boasts that he will give them open battle. If he venture to d o so, we think he will have no till his invaders sit down se cond opportu n i ty o f Constantinople. under lli e the i; c e v n alls ch Ministers have carried the loan of Eighty Millions by a triumphant majority ; 287 being for them loan— ma j or ity, 222. ' "d only 65 against the Lisbon Gazettes to the 18th inst. have been received, but DON MIGUEL has not yet assumed the title of Kin g . Extracts will be found In another part of our Paper. Papers to th e 18th April, an d Philadelphia ato the 19th, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but their contents are not marked by any news of importance. The House of Representatives was occupied with the discussion on the Tariff Bill, but the general opinion was that the Bill would be ultimately rejected. The Philadelphia National Gazette says, that a file of Caraccas Papers, to a late date., cditained the addresses of the Military Corps, and Editorial Articles, in reference to the Ad ministration of the Republic, which were written with much art and ability, but they had for their immediate object the propagation of the doctrine that the Congress assembled at Ocana was illegal in its origin, crude in its composition, and likely to he wholly influenced by , the ene mies of BoLtvArt, and the secret friends of the old Spanish rule. The writers contend that a federal system ought to be adopted—that a strong Government is indispensable—and that no one except BOLIVAR can save the vessel of the State from fatal mutiny or utter wreck. Au extract of a letter from the City of Wash ington of the 10th ult., states that violent as sault and battery has just been committed on Mr. ADAMS, Private Secretary to the PRESI DENT, who had been to the House with a mes sage ; he was going into the Rotunda, within a few steps of the House, when he was met by JARVIS, one of the Editors of the Telegraph, who kicked, struck, and otherwise abused him it creates much sensation here. This unmanly outrage, perpetrated on the Son of the President of the UNITED STATES, whilst engaged in the discharge of an official duty as Private. Secretary of Mr. ADAMS, by one of the conductors of the public Press, shows the acri monious bitterness of political feeling of the adverse parties on the election of a PRESIDENT. But that any one possessing the least regard for his country, himself, for decency or law, or for any of the ties or obligations that bind society together, could be found who would suffer poli tical or personal feeling, antipathy, public or private revenge, so far to obtain the mastery of reason and manliness, as to make such an attack at such a place, and at such a :time, as are recorded, must blush for his country on account of such rancorous and disgraceful conduct.

THE FUNDS—(THiIs DAY). CITY, TwirLys o'CLocx. There is literally no business in the English Funds this morning, and it appears a complete blank in the City. Consols opened at 851 and the only movement since has been their becoming 85i, buyers, since which the market has reverted to its first quotation. The premium on India Bonds has advanced a little, and is new N 100; Ex chequer Bills are 62 4 pm. There appears little to notice in the Foreign Funds.— Portuguese Bonds are a quarter per cent. better, 534 ; Bra zilian, 594; Buenos Ayres, 40 ; Mexican, 394; Colom bian, "244. Every thing in Shares continues in an equally dull state, nor is there any alteration in prices for the last few days. The only topic in the city seems to be on the subject of Ministerial arrangements ; but so little appears to be really known on the point, that we defer entering upon it until something is positively known, rather than give circula tion to the several idle rumours that exist.

GRILLON V. Ross. This was an action brought by the proprietor of Gril lon's Hotel, in Albemarle-street, for 3!. 35., the amount of a dinner bill. It appeared that Capt. Ross, who is a gentleman well known in the sporting world, ordered dinner at Grillon's one day in September last for ten persons, and that dinner, with turtle, was actually provided for that number. Only four persons, however, with Captain Ross, came to partake of the dinner, and the bill was 261. 10s. Several persons were called to prove that it was the custom at taverns in town, when 'Elmer was ordered for a certain number, to charge for the full number, though ever so few persons came. The custom in this particular was not disputed by Captain Ross ; but he alleged, that when ordering the dinner, he agreed with Grillon that turtle should only be charged for as many as dined, He considered it an imposition, when he was charged for turtle for ten persons, and therefore defended the present action. There was no proof of the agreement which Captain Ross alleged he had made at Grillon's, and a ver dict was taken for the plaintiff.—Damages 31. Ss. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE KING v. CARR. AND ANOTHER. This was an information filed against the defendants, soap-manufacturers, to recover penalties incurred by certain alledged violations of the excise laws. The case, which was quite devoid of interest, occupied the Court during the entire day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DEFAMATION. COTTON V. JONES AND WIFE. This was an action for defamation, for words alleged to have been spoken by the wife of the defendant. Mr. Sergeant JONES stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiff was connected by marriage with the defendants, and purchased from them a milk-walk in Doctors',-com mons, for a sum which might appear to be large, being no less than 140/. He had been a market gardener at Edmonton, prior to his purchase of the milk-walk. Mrs. Jones subsequently called upon the plaintiff; a quarrel took place between her and the plain tiff, and the expressions complained of were then made use of. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call his evidence. Ann Cole sworn.—l know the plaintiff, and live in his house ; I also know Mrs. Jones ; I remember Mrs. Jones coming to Cotton's house last March, and asking for some thing, upon which words ensued, and Mrs. Jones flew out of doors and said, "I never stole a cow—l never was in Newgate—nor am I ashamed to show my face at Ed monton." Mr. Sergeant Wong—My Lord, they are all Welch.— (A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant JONES—No, no, my Lord ; my client is not.—(A laugh.) The witness continued—Cotton spoke to her in a pas sion, and instigated her to say what she did say. Mrs. Jones said this in the open court. Cross-examined—Mrs. Jones had a child in her arms ; Mrs. Cotton took Mr. Cotten in-doors ; Mr. Cotton did say something about Mrs. Jones being hanged. He said, "Go and hang yourself." They are both Welch, and were both in a great passion. Tha CHIEF JUSTICE—That of course!—(A laugh.) . _ . Mr. Sergeant WILDE—True, my Lord, I must apologise for wtsting time by asking the question.—(Laughter. ) Otler kitnesses deposed to the same effect. Mr. Sergeant WILnE declined addressing the Jury in such t case : it ought never to have come before a Court of Justice. The time of the Court should not be wasted with to frivolous a matter. Tie Cunt' JUSTICE said that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, if they thought the defendant's wife meant to imply that he had stolen a cow—but then they would recol lect :hat be had used provoking language, and to a Welch WornilL Tie Jury inquired as to the costs, and being informed that any sum under forty shillings would have the effect of making each party pay their own costs, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing.

STATE OF THE LAW. (From the Morning Chronicle.) In our King's Bench Report of yesterday, there is a case of an action brought by a Bricklayer against a Lady residing near Hyde . Park, for 2/. 4s. 6d.— Sir James Scarlett, who stated the plaintiff's case, observed, "it was unfortunate that there *was not some inferior tribunal to try actions for these small sums, for as it was, sometimes plaintiff, and some times defendant, found themselves in very unplea sant situations. A plaintiff, when he knows his claim is good, is unwilling to forego it; and a de fendant, who imagines he has a good defence, is un willing to pay, though each may be aware, that by bringing the matter into Court, they \rill lose more than the subject in dispute amounts to." Aye • unfortunate, indeed ! Sir James modestly says, the parties will lose more than the subject in dispute amounts to. He might have said ten times more without laying himself open to a charge of exaggeration. Here are Sr James Scarlett and Mr. Gurney arrayed against each other for a matter of 2/. 4s. 6d., respecting which there could be no difficulty whatever, and which the plaintiff must either have consented to lose, or prepared himself in case of failure for a swinging bill of costs. What foreigners would believe, but for such a statement, that so little care had been taken for the interests of the people of England—the most thinking people in the world ? " Touch but a cobweb in Westminster Hall (said Lord Chatham, on some occasion), and the great law spider will crawl out." It is unfortunate for the people who are left hi this helpless state—but what term are we to give to the conduct of those who have constantly opposed themselves to the remedy for this crying evil ? It has at all times been a great crime in the eyes of the upper classes of England to attempt to obtain justice for the people, Two protectors, the Duke of Somerset and Cromwell, exerted themselves in vain in behalf of the people. Cromwell feelingly ex claimed, " die Sons of Zeruiah are yet too strong for us." In the Life of Lord Burghley, by Dr. Notes, just published, we have some curious parti4 culars of the danger incurred by the Duke of Somerset, on account of the Court of Request which he established. "Of those," he says, " who were taken into custody, on the Duke of Somerset's first fall (for it must always be recollected that he fell twice), besides Cecil—who certainly was imprisoned as well as others—there were Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Michael Stanhope, Sir John Thynn, and Edward Wolfe. In regard to the im prisonment of Mr, Cecil on this occasion, his do mestic writes thus The cause of this has not, I think, been very clearly explained by any of our historians, and therefore I conceive I shall do the public a pleasure In settitig it in a true light. It was one of the articles in charge against the Duke of Somerset, that he had set up a Court of Requests in his own house, which was construed into a crime, because he therein heard poor men's causes, or sent him with his letters recommendatory to Chancery, styled by these sage politicians, altering and pervert ing the course of Justice. Now, as Mr. Cecil had been his Master of Requests, those who made the deed a crime, could not help falling on the instru ment as guilty in some measure, thoug h he acted under the Duke's direction however, his modera tion in office, his great abilities in matters of State, and the King's personal affection for him, wrought so powerfully, that in about three mon ths he was discharged from his imprisonment.' " The Doctor adds the following, in a note : " How far this was a crime may be judged from the following account : And as for his Court of Requests, surely it deserved no such hard censure; serving as some check to the rigorous and unjust dealing of the rich and the mighty exercised upon the poo r , _ who were not able to contend with them at law, by reason of their countenance and wealth, whatsoever great wrongs were done them; which at this Court might easily and cheaply be shown and complained of, by way of request and petition. Here many contro versies were made up, and restraints laid upon the destructive designs of the rich against the poor; and according to the cognizance of the causes brought before the Duke, he would sometimes send his let ters to the Judges that were to hear them, not to warp their judgments, but to incline them to do justice impartially, and not to favour the great in their extortions upon those of meaner rank and de gree; sometimes he would appoint intelligent and honest men as arbitrators, to consider the complaints referred to him, and with speed to make a just de termination and conclusion between party and party, without the long expensive formality of law.'—See Strypes' Memorials, vol. 11. 286, where may be seen a letter from the Protector, appointing such an arbitration." James the First, on his accession to the Throne, was struck with the sufferings of the people from want of legal prote!tion, and his historian (Wilson) informs us, that he " expressed himself to the Par liament, desiring their assistance, assuring them that he had no intention to alter the Government, though he wished the Laws might be rectified. But his Kingcraft (as he calls it) failed in striking at the Common Law, and he was convinced in it how dangerous it was to give too much knowledge to the people; the two great hammers of the State, the Churchman and Lawyer, that wor k the people to obedience upon the two anvils of conscience and policy, beat him to the understanding of it, so that ever after he joined with them, and that three - fold cord was not easily dissolved." Thus we see, that for three centuries, this con spiracy against the people has been able to stand its ground. Lord Althorp struggled in vain for seve ral Sessions against it. How far Mr. Peel will suc ceed in the very slight improvement he is attempt ing, remains to be seen. We would not have the people to be too confident on this subject. There are several worthy men in Parliament, and among the Lawyers ; but we must constantly bear in mind that the spirit of the Aristocracy is generally bad. Lucretius tells us, a great pleasure is felt, when we are safe on shore, in looking on a vessel at sea tossed about in a storm. We fear the u nwillingness to open Courts of Justice for the people has its origin in the kindred pleasure derived from knowing that the people are struggling with evils from which they are exempted. The i Irish possess one great adva n t age over our selves n the Assistant-Barristers' Courts. It is a melancholy subject of reflection, however, to find that good institutions are almost always extorted from the fears of the great, and that the misconduct of the poor often gains more for them than their good behaviour. Scotland would, perhaps, have been a prey to feudal oppression to this day, but for the rebellions which frightened the Government into the abolition of heritable jurisdictions and a variety of feudal grievances. In like manner we learn from a Parliamentary Report (17th Report on Courts of Justice in Ireland) just distributed, that the turbu lence of the Irish procured for them their Local Courts. " In the year 1787, the Irish Legislature made an important change in the establishment of the Court of Sessions, which has been found to add so considerably to its efficacy, and to public confidence in the jurisdiction, that what was in its first application partial only, has since been established generally, an d with acknowledged ad van t age . I n th a t y ear , cer tain counties in the South of Ireland were in state of alarm ing insubordination and disturbance ; the Jurisdiction of the Court of Sessions has been feebly and irregu larly administered, and consequently those. crimes, which, as violations of the peace, the are peculiarly . object of, its jurisdiction, often pass with impunity. This had the natural effect of increasing the confi dence of offenders, and training them to further contempt and violation of the laws. The impunity of assaults led to and encouraged homicides, and the lamentable effects of this state of things remain to this day To remedy th is evil, and check cr i m e i n the first stage of its progress with more certainty and effect, the Legislature passed the Act before mentioned, enabling. the Lord Lieutenant, w i t h t h e advice of the Privy Council, to divide any counties in the kingdom which they should think proper into dis tricts, in the [manner pointed out by the Act, and in the counties so divided, to establish a c onstabulatoly force for the preservation of the . public peace. It was further provided by. the same law, that in the counties so divided, General Sessions of the Peace should be holden eight times in the year, at the kart, and that a barrister of. six years' standing (not be ing a Member of Parliament) should be appointed to act as a constant assist to the Justices consti tuting the Court. Under the provisions of this Statute, the Lord Lieutenant and Council at that time extended its operation to several counties then in a state of disturbance; afterwards, in the year 1796, from the intermediate experience of its bene; ficial effects, the system was farther applied to the other counties of Ireland. That justice under this institution has been administered more regularly and satisfactorily to the public, and with more effect for the preservation of the peace, is generally admitted." " The Statute which regulated the Courts of Quarter Session, and appointed a barrister to them to assist the Magistrates in the administration of justice, proceeded farther and created a concomitant jurisdiction to be exercised exclusively by the Assis tant Barrister of each county for recovery of small debts in a summary way." The juri s di c tion of this Court in actions for deb t on Bond, Bill, or Specialty, is limited to 20/. In actions for rent and on the case in assunipsit and inseniiel eontputasset, 101. In actions of trove'', quantum meruit, trespass, dama g es, &c. 51. But it is proposed to equalize the surafor all cases, and to extend the limits of the jurisdiction. Such is the advantage which Irish turbulence ex torted. The people of England hacing a wonderful capacity to bear, have been suffered to bear, till at: last, as a wonderful piece of condescension, they are to have a sort of local Courts, for sums under 101 .! The evidence giv en b y the Assistant Barr;ster is valuable as to one point, namely, the preferenct: of the people of an intelligent Judge to a Jury. When the parties demand a Jury, they can obtain one; but they have too much good sense to demand one. " When I first sat," says Mr. Trail Hall (Galway - ) " I was very much disposed myself to have the as sistance of a Jury in cases bf contradictory evidence; but it was in general objected to by the parties." Mr. Schoales (Kildare)—" Has it been your prac tice to call in the assistance of Jurors in civil cases ?" " Sometimes, but not often." " Has your experi ence shown the practiet. of doing so to be useful ?" " Rather than contrary." " What appeared to be the wish of parties as to doing so ?"—" In general the parties do not appear to wish it : whenever they do, I comply with their wish." Mr. Peel ought to give suitors the option of hav ing their cause tried with Jurors. Already people complain bitterly of the hardship of the incessant serving on Juries, and the proposed addition will make the burden insupportable. But if the matter be left to suitors, it will be the same in England as in Ireland, and as it would be in every county. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the parties would prefer the Judge.

SPECIMEN OF THE ART OF LITHO GRAPIIY.—Mr. MARTIN has not overrated the Litho graphic Art, when he asserts, " that it will be found to possess all the ordinary merits of copper engraving, with the decided and very important advantages of being exe cuted in one-third of the time." From the specimens with which Mr. MARTIN has favoured us, we are convinced that it will fully answer his most sanguine expectations : it brings out its subjects with surprising distinctness ; so that even the minutest touches may he plainly distinguished. Its expeditious process too is considerably in its favour, and deserves encouragement. THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.—We have the pleasure to announce, that it has been definitively arranged that the LOAD limn ADMIRAL will arrive in Cove Har bour about the middle of July.

A E SIR WIT L ADMIRAL IAIII DOMETT,G.C.B ___(Froui a Correspondent.—This excellent man, and most distinguished officer, suddenly departed this life at Hawk church, Dorset, on Monday last, the 19th instant. Nearly the whole of his valuable life had been spent in the service of his country, and in most of the victories achieved Under the respective commands of Lords HowE, Barnroxr, and NELsoN ,who were his personal friends, he bore a conspi cuous part ; and for the gallantry, skill, and judgment with which he conducted himself, as Captain of the fleet, and on every occasion upon which he was employed, there was no officer in his Majesty's navy, of whom the profession enter tained a higher opinion. He was, for s everal years, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, a post of distinction which he was compelled to resign on account of the state of Isis health. It may be said of Admiral DOMETT, without the slightest departure front truth, that in him the profession has lost one of the ablest seamen, society one of its brightest ornaments, and religion one of its most unostentatious and consistent friends. His loss to the parish in which he was born, and resided for the latter part of his life, is irrepa rable. His property was large ; and no inconsiderable portion of it was appropriated to the support of public charity and the relief of private distress ; and his whole anxiety was to do good, and actjustly towards his fellow creatures. t ie j , tag sod 'l l l .l .
