LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TMS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. wiLtis v.. ELACK.- Mr. HENLD stated that this was in fact two ap peals` from dte decision of the present Master of the Rolls, then Vice Chancellor. The case depended upon the construction of a covenant in a Marriage Settlement. The,, petition of appeal which. Mr. Heald had to argue was presented by the plain tiff . in the . cause, .who . was the ,trustee -.under the, marriage. settlement. The „object of the covenant was to secure to the new-married couple such provision ultimately as the other younger children of the testator would have. Upon the marriage, 1,4001. was given:to the testator's daugh ter down, with the covenant that he would make further provision for her and her issue, equal to the other younger children. The bill was filed for the purpose of dividing the estate of the testator among his younger children. Upon the case 'being heard before Sir John Leach, he pronounced the following decree :—He declared that the testator was bound by the covenant in the settlement to make a provi sion for her and her husband, including the 1,4001. The parties not being satisfied with this, presented a. petition of rehearing, and upon the case being re-heard, he ordered that his former de cree should be varied, by omitting such part thereof as declared that the testator was bound by the. co venant in the settlement to make provision for his daughter, including the 1,400/.,- and that he was only bound by the covenant to give her as full a part of his estates as the other younger children would become entitled to in the event of his death. Mr. Heald then contended that the latter decree was not correct, and that 'the only decree which ought to stand was the first decree. ' ' Mr. ROUPEL and Mr. PRESTON followed on the same side. Mr. ROE appeared for some of the other younger _______ Mr, PEPYS appeared on the other side, arid con tended that the last construction put on the cove nant by Sir John Leach was the right one. Mr. TINNEY was on the same side, and was ad dressing the Court when we left. . , VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BANKRUPT PETITION. Ex PARTE DAWSON, IN RE WENTWORTH . This was the petition of the assignees and certain creditors of the estate of the Messrs. Wentworth and Co. ; and it prayed that the certificate of Thos. Rishworth, one of the bankrupts, might be stayed until such time as the bankrupt should give to the Commissioners and the petitioners a full and satis factory explanation of various acts of misconduct on his part, under the Commission. The petition, which was opened by Mr. HoRNE, stated among other thi ngs, that the banking-house of the Messrs. Wentworth and Co. in London, stopped payment on the 9th of December; 1825, and that several establishments at York, Wakefield, and other parts of the country, failed on the 10th of the same month; that an as signment of all their estate and effects was made to the assignees on the 10th of February, 1826 ; that since that period the bankrupts had undergone se veral examinations to the satisfaction of the Com- missioners; and the requisite . number of the creditors, as well as the assignees, had accord ingly, after the final examination, signed their certi ficate. The object of the present petition was, that that certificate, so far as respected Thomas Rishworth, might be stayed on the ground of mis conduct, which, with the exception •of one fact, had come to the knowledge of the peti tioners, since they had affixed their signatures to the certificate. The petitioners had proved debts under the commission, to the extent of . 25,0001., and had, therefore, in the opinion of the Learned Gentleman, a manifest right to the atten tion of the Court. They stated that they had since discovered that Thomas Rishworth dealt largely with the house of Hexley and Co., in London, who were in the habit of making extensive purchases of corn on his.account; even after the bankruptcy, a fact which he concealed from the petitioners. Down to October, 1826, he corresponded with Hexley and Co., as if no bankruptcy had taken place and he continued to treat the subject of their dealing as his own property. The clear effect of such conduct, the Learned gentleman submitted, was to defeat the primary object of the commission, which was, that a full and true discovery of the bankrupts' estate and effects might be made in order to their proper distri bution. among the creditors. This object was clearly defeated by the conduct of the bankrupt in concealing from his assignees, concerns materially affecting the estates of co-partners certainly effecting his separate estate. If the Court then should find Mr. Rish- worth not fully disclosing in his examination affairs of so much consequence to his creditors, could it be said that he had so conducted himself under his 'Commission ' as that his certificate ought to pass the Great seal ? The affidavit of Mr. Patrick, an accountant, employed in winding up the affairs of the bankrupts, stated in his affidavit, that Mr. Pjshworth kept a ledger , in which there was an account'opened under the head of " John Hex ley's account." In this ledger there were various erasures and obliterations made in . the handwriting of Rishworth ; among others there was an erasure in Hexley's account of 4,0001. to the debit side, and of 8,0001. at ,the credit sde. The bankrupt had, up to July, 1826, free access to the bank at Wc.kefield, in which the accounts of the effects of the petitioners were kept. He 'had a general superintendence of the affairs of the bankrupts, and affected to assist the assignees in winding up , the accounts, until he was desired by them to desist from further interfe ' rence with them. One of the affidavits in support of the petition stated, that a. sum of money to the amount of 1,8811. 13s. 3d. had been received on be- half of the bankrupts in Bank . of England paper and other good 'money; it was after Wards discovered that Rishworth had abstracted this money from 'the coffers, and substituted for it cash notes and other liabi lities of the bankrupts. If this were made out against him, it furnished such an instance of misconduct during the pende nc y of t h e c ommission , as must in his, Mr. Hor n's opinion, justify the Court in saying that the certificate of the bankrupt ought to be stayed. The affidavit added, that the sum thus taken away was partially restored to the petitioners. The notes and liabilities of the bankrupts were :taken from him at the rate of ten shillings in the pound, that being the rate allowed to other debtors of the estate, - who held such securities of the bankrupts, the other half he paid in lgood money; thus there is a clear acknowledge ment of the fact, and' a partial restitution of the money. But ought the petitioners to be satisfied with that, had they not a right to know whence this good money, to the amount of over 9001., came from ? The same affidavit went on to say, that it having been communicated to the assignees that Rishworth kept a private cash-book, they sent for him, and desired him to produce it ; • between his leaving the assignees for that . purpose and his subsequently re turning with the book, it was mutilated; several leaves had been cut out in two places; the leaves cut out from one part were subsequently restored; but the other ho. had not as yet given. It appeared, however, that this book had been previously exhibited to the com missioners. The petition, after setting forth that the bankrupt had received several sums of money far which he had not satisfactorily accounted, stated, that about the date of the commission he caused bank notes of the bankrupts to .be burn ed, to the amount of many. thousand pounds, and the petitioners were Still ignorant whether part of these notes .supposed to be burned had Lot afterwards b e en re-issued ; th a t i t wasimpossible that they could be sufficiently informed on that subject until the winding up of the affairs ;* and therefore it was, that they prayed that the certificate of this bankrupt might be stayed, until he should undergo another declared sed examination. Th e pet i t i oners a d m i tte d th e i r know ledgeu fbaeeftosreththeyey ga of the bank rupt ' s h aving ordere d t h e notes to be brn certificate; t s hattbey .but Nvere a to that.fa l the l other burned time ignorant. The Learned Gentleman did not call on the Court to 'say, that Mr. Rishworth had wholly disentitled himself to his certificate ; be merety wished that_it might be stayed until it should be ascertained whether he had done any thing in juriOns to the estate of the bankrupts. • Mr. GIi.DERT then proceeded to read severahaffi davits, those in behalf of Mr. Rishworth, denied some .of the charges, and gave explanations of the others—all guilty intention was most explicitly and solemnly denied. Mr. RosE appeared for the bankrupt, and con tended that even if all the allegations in the peti tion were true; the Court ought not at 'this late stage, to interfere to stay a certificate signed un der circumstances so honourable .to the . bank rupt. The petition was to be traced to the bad feeling of the assignees,and had Mr. Rishworth been little more.cap in hand — Mr. HORNE.—Cash in hand. Mr. RoSE.----His Learned Friend was quite right ; for if Mr. Rishworth had been a little more cash in hand, to his assignees, these gentlemen would never have troubled his Honour with their petition. The arguments had not concluded when our 'Re porter left the court.

KATHARINE'S DOCKS.—Wag es to brick layers up to the 19th inst. were ss. per day, and to the labourers 38. It is the invariable custom with builders to reduce, the wages on the Saturday following the 9th of No vember, owing to the men not being able, from tie short days, to work their full tune. The reduction proposed, and which has now been acceded to, is 6d. per day to the 'bricklayers, and 4d. per *lay to the labourers, which se cures to the former 4s. 6d. per day, and to the latter 2s. Bd., leaving to.them a sum much more in proportion to the time .which they are able to work, than the summer • rates, aud.which evry reasonable person will admit is a fair remuneration for the labour performed. STATE OF TRADE.—There has been a con sideralole improvement in the sale of printing cloth in, this market during; the present aveet, The demand for the l ower descriptions of cloth f ar exceeds the su pp l y , and t he stocks of calicoes are hi general very low.

ISLAND AND THE CITA' OF scm, OCT. 7,. 1827. J arrived here on the 27th of September, on my w ay to Scio, but, unfortunately, found that all com munication with that island was, interrupted by the presence of three Greek brigs cruising in the nar row passage which separates it from the Main,. , By the kindness of' Captain Rooke, of his Majesty's brig Jasper, who is here protecting fifteen sail of British m erchantmen thatproceed under his convoy as far as Malta, I have, however, been able to pay two short visits to that interesting place. On Monday last (Ist instant) the Jasper left the Creek of Cesme at an early hour in the morning, in order to facilitate the, passage of the English Consul resident at Scio, whose presence Was requisite at Cesme, for the despatch of the fruit vessels, and with the intention of speaking with the'Greek cruisers. Capt. Rooke land ed me and a friend, with two gentlemen of his ship, at the town of Scio, about ten a.m., and stood down to the Greeks, who were some miles to the, north ward,' We speNt the morning in examining the town,' which is the most complete and the . most me lancholy 'ruin ',ever beheld. A' report prevailed that a large Greek fleet was at hand, with troops on board that were to attempt a landing. All the Turks we spoke with were, or affected to be, confident, and strangers to the slighteit alarm, but the Greek part of the 'population, which, betlyeen the, sad remnant left after the massacre of 1822 and those who had sincerepaired to the island, amounts to twenty-two thousand souls, seemed labouring under cruel apprehensions. Many of them entreated us to give them a passage to the main--to any spat not threatened with the horrors of Greek and Turkish warfare. ' In the afternoon we returned to the Jasp e r, when we found that Captain Rooke had brought one of the Greek brigs to, and had had the Commander, whom he described as a fine spirit ed young man ; .on board for some, .time. Captain Rooke asked him whether'he wished it to be under stood that- the, island of Scio was in a state of block ade He replied; that most certainly it was ; that, Moreover, the right of the Greek Government to blockade the place had been fully-acknowledged by the English and French Admirals, and that in a few days a more effective force would be seen in the Channel. He said that Lord Cochrane was not ex pected, but that lie looked every day for the , arrival of Captain ,Hastings and the steam,vessel, and that a descent on Scio by a considerable force was me- • ditated, of the perfect success of which he would not permit himself to doubt. To Captain Rooke's request that the British Consul might be perMitted to pass to Cesme in an lonian boat, he answered that no molestation should be offered him—but that they must examine the boat in its passage, to see that it contained no Turks nor Turkish property. On our sail back to Cesme, Captain Rooke bore up to another of the Greekernisers ; the Commander came, immediately on board, and ,presented a figure Worthy to be borne by a desCendant of a heir of Sa tan:AS, Whose effect, however, on closer 'examination, was much injured by a wily, suspicious eye, that was never a moment at rest. His statement differed in nothing from his companion's ; except in his assert ing that Lord Cochrane was expected there, and in his fixing the number of the forces to be employed in the invasion of Scio at six thousand men. When we arrived at Cesme, we found that the Turks had been eagerly watching; from s tile heights all Captain Rooke's manoeuvres, and. were busily employed in speculating on what mould be their results. Of the laws of ,blockade, these people understand nothing, and they have such an opinion of the sed supre;naey of England, that they think a gun fired from one of her ships ought to clear the Archipelago. Nearly all the British vessels having taken in their cargoes, on Friday last, sth inst. Captain Rooke stood over to Scip v to bring the Consul over himself, as he apprehended, and not without reason, that in spite ofthe assurances of the," Honourable Captains,", a Greek visit would not be unattended with moles tation to the old gentleman. I and my friend were again of the voyage. We arrived at nine a.m., and Captain Rooke and 'a Lieutenant went on shore with 'us. At the landing-place we were received by "the Consul and the superiors of the Turkish cus toms, who led us - to their house hard by, and regaled us with pipes and coffee, during the discussion of whiqh ,they put various questions to us relative.to the present state of affairs, the proipect of pacifica tion, &c. Hence we repaired to watt on, the Pacha, who resides in the castle, a half-ruined fortress (whose greateit strength consists 'in a dry ditch), built by the Genoese during their occupation of the island. At the outer gate was found, drawn up in honour to Captain Rooke, a guard of the. Tacticians, or newly-organised troops ; in the interior of the for tress near the Pacha's habitation, a common Turkish guard ; and at his dope= Albanian. guard, of bold and picturesque appearance.' We were .ushered .up stairs by I know not how many attendants, and at length found ourselves in the presence of the Pacha who was seated on a divan, in a pleasant, cool room, open to•the sea, with his Cmii at his side, and a number of officers 'attending; in a rank by the door. He received us very courteously, shook hands with Captain Rooke, and beckoned us to be seated. He then whispered some orders to an officer, and di rected his attention tli;ifie Consul. Lobserved him well during this short'Conversation, and'may describe Issuff Pacha as a handsome old man, With a magnifi cent white beardoVith just that portion of embon point that becomes age, and with a mild and gentle manly countenance and demeanour. Presently a. triiop of servants came in with splen did pipes, coffee, 4c. • but for this time I will spare you the particulars of the ceremonies, attentions, and compliments, that were paid us, and merely give you a few notes of the Paella's conversation.— He raid he regretted the present troubled state of affairs,' but that he still hoped that the moment was distant which' would see the Silken, his master, en gaged in a war with the great Kings of Europe— that he was not a man of blood—that he had pledg ed his word to the Greeks pow .on the island, that they should not be molested, unless they entered into, machinations with the-rebels from abroad—that lie did not fear invasion—that he would meet foree with force, openly and lionoUrably, but that lie de spised that' paltry mode of Wallare ibhich consisted in sailing two or tliree ships up and down a coast, 'and nierelq preventing trade and eonzmunication., "Not," added he, " that this injures or annoys me and my faithful Osmanlis no,, the whole weight of the evil falls on the poor Greeks here, who,are the fishermen, sailors, carriers, and merchants of the Island." After a visit of three-quarters of an hour, being previously sprinkled with sweet w aters, and scented with the smoke from silver encensoires, we took our leave, and were accompanied to the gate with the same state that attended our entrance. The town, on this visit, seemed to- me even still more ruinous and desolate than it did•before. In a principal street, where stood:the burned and dilapi, dated residences of the Greek Primates, we startled a Number of partridges, so silent and deserted is that once gay and o pulent quarter. WO were glad to escape from this vast scene of destruction to the country, but there we found every house reduced to bare,lntteriag, and impeopled walls; and the view from the romantic spot called Homer's School, a few years back so lively and beautiful, offered us a succession of.ruined buildings, uncultivated fields, and unpruned gardens. I ascertained to-day that.the Paella of 'Scio, who was formerly Bey of Rhodes, has, only four hundred men of the newly-organized army, and one hundred and fifty cannoneers, in which number are included engineers, artillerymen, sappers and miners, gie. Be- Sides these, there may be on the island six or seven' hundred Turks capable Of bearing-arms, and fighting in their old irregular manner. The castle, they sag, mounts eighty guns, which are more than they would know how to work well, and nearly all those I saw.were in a bad condition, arid most miserably mounted. The place, I am sure, would not be a twelve hours' obstacle, to a thousand British soldiers. There' are three aimed Turkish vessels in the port, but exceedingly and' bearin g very light guns. Two of them went out some fifteen days ago, when the first Greek brig appeared in the Passage, but on a nearer view of the size of the Greek and the weight of his metal, they were glad to retire, though the Spectator Oriental pretends that they chased the Greeks as far as the Spalmadore Islands. The three Greeks are very fine large brigs, superior sailors, bearing. each of them twelve guns, with a crew of : 100 to 120 men. They are polacco-rigged, uncoppered,and very deficient in bulwark, by which their men must be sadly exposed. They continued to cruize off Scio, but no other vessels of their flag have yet appeared. The Turks, on this part of the Continent, are at this moment unusually vigilant, ►nd cannot conceal that they are alarmed. They say they expect troops from Magnesia and Smyrna. A few days before my arrival at Cesme, an en ;ragement took place between a Greek mistico and two Turkish saccolevas that went out of this creek ta_the attack. After a long running fight of ,mus ketry, the Greek found himself between the two Turkish boats that carried threelimes his compli ment of men. On this the Captain of the mistico, L daring Ipsariot, drew alongside one of the sacco levas, and shouting to his men to follow him, leaped her deck,.and cut down her commander. Two ether Turks fell beneath his desperate sword, but his men did, not follow him; and a Greek on board the Turkish boat contrived to plant a yatagan in his back—he fell—an expert hand cut off his head. whilst e crowd of others, with yells of tritutph, kql at his prostrate body. Some of the Greeks, at this sight, set fire to their powder—the boat blew ,ip; 'but twenty out of the thirty that composed the crew, were picked up alive by the :.Turks, and brought into Cesme, with the head of the Captain mspepded, at the . bowsprit of one of the saccolevas. These prisoners (strange to tell) were not mas sacred, but sent over to Scio, where they are still M the Castle. The headless hacked body of the Captain, after being exposed some hours on the quay, Was thrown into the sea. In a day or two, it Boated ashore; and now lies, a most revolting spec tacle, on the sands at the end of the creek, about a bowsprit from the town.

THE SERAGLIO.--This opera, which is to be brought out at Covent-garden 'on Saturday next, has been for a' considerable time in preparation. The music is arranged , and adapted from MOZART'S celebrated opera Die .Entfulirung aus dens Serail. This opera produced at Vienna unbounded applause; it drew the most over flowing audiences ; every body was amazed at its new traits of harmony, and at passages so original, and, till then, so unheard from wind instruments. During the composition he was married to a distinguished virtuosa, Mademoiselle WEBER, a name as distinguished in our, time for musical excellence as Mozaitr's was in the time of Joslex The opera was supposed to owe to this felicitous circum stance 'much of that endearing character, that tone'of ten derness, and that expression of the softer passions, which form its principal attractions. It is certainly strange that such a distinguished opera should be unknown in this country - for no less a period than 45 years, although its merits are well known and the music admired on every part of the continent for many years. The opera is to be called The Seraglio, and is getting up with unusual splendour, under the direction of Mr. KRAMER, the master of the King's private band, who it is said has composed addi tional. airs for the piece. His IVlAJarry is . already quite fathiliar with the music. LIVEkPOOL, Nov. 21.—There has ,been a good demand from' the trade to-day for Cotton, and about 3,000 bags have been taken at steady prices. _ in habitants of the village of. Leuchars were considerably On §undaylast, during divine service, the alarmed, in consequence of the outrageous proceedings of an intoxicated individual. However mildly he may treat any other person, it his, it seems, been customary with this worthy, when in a state of inebriety, to do every possible in jury. to the yersons and property ef his relatives; so, in ac cordance with use and wont, on coming home last Sunday to the house of his widowed mother, he promptly thrust her to the door, and afterwards set fire to her bed, by throwing burning coals into it. He considered, however, that his measure of mischief was yet by no means suffi ciently full, 'and accordingly bethought himself of burning, about their ears, the houses of two of his uncles, who re sided in the immediate neighbourhood ; the accomplish ment of which enlightened project he Was setting about with what expedition be could, when arrested by a number of constables. After being well fastened with ropes, he Was committed to the village bell-house, as a place of tem poiary confinement, from which he was removed the fol lowing day, and brought to Cupar gaol.—Fife Herald. ROBBERY OF THE WARWICK MAIL.-011 Wednesday night last, the Warwick mail was . robbed .of sr ( WHITEHEAD and Co. of Warwick. The bank of es .. was e ffected in a very extraordinary manner, and robbery , very clean way in which it was done, it is the ban k notes to the amount of 20,000/, belonging to the from the •Iting" bad a hand in the affair.

Tavern, Snow-hill, on Wednesday, to go with the mail on the same night to Warwick. lie gave directions to . the clerk (as he had done on former. occasions) that the mail should stop at the Furnivars-Inn Coffee-house in Holborn, and take him up, as he had luggage there which he had to take with hirrh— The mail coach, stopped at .the, usual hour, ab ou t e i g h t o'clock, according to' his orders, and th e gentleman came out of Fornivars-Inn with two bags in his possession, one 'containing 2,000 sovereigns, and the other 20,0001. in • five and ten pound country notes, of the banks of Messrs.

Mrs. Fry and Mr. J. Gurney have published the fruits of their recent travels in lieland,-ufider the title of " Report of Mrs. Fry and Mr. J. J. Gurney to the Lord Lieutenant of rreland,:re specting their late visit to that country." Like all impartial persons who have ever visited Ire land, whether from the North, South, East, or West, Mrs. Fry and her friend recommend the abolition of civil disabilities as an essential pre liminary to the settlement of the country. " Abounding in gratitude (they say) as are the Irish, when justly and kindly treated, we pre sume it will be allowed that they are, in no com- mon degree, alive to a sense of wrong —that when injured and deprived of their just rights, they have both the acuteness to discern it, and the heart to feel it ; and presently harbour a deeply•- rooted sentiment of disaffection and revenge. We conceive that we should be stepping out of our true province were we to offer a direct opii nion on that perplexing and agitating question— ' Roman Catholic Emancipation :' but we trust we shall not offend the Lord Lieutenant by an. expression of the general sentiment, that theri, never was a people in the management of whom a perfect equity and impartiality was more evi dently requisite than the people of Ireland-- that it is,. in the highest degree, desirable that every class of the King's subjects in that country should, so far as is consistent with the safety of" the state, be allowed the exercise of the same rightS—:and that the less the distinCtions of . religious opinions are insisted on and dragged tc; light, in connection with the civil policy of the Pountry, the greater will be the probability of its hping blessed with a state of permanent tran quillity. We lament that constant agitation of this irritating subject, which keeps perpetually open the wounds of Ireland ; and cordially* Flo we wish, that through the means of reasonable concession on both sides, the ques,: l ;ion might be settled, and forgotten for ever."--, They were also struck with the redundance of the population; compared with the employment for them, and they recommended the transfer of 3 or 400,000 of them to America, particularly Prince Edward's Island and Upper Canad a . But this is impracticable for manyreasons. Thty" observe, that although " in consequence of the"' disadvantages under which the country now la bours, the population Seems to be excessive, here is surely strong reason to believe that err e most made of national resources, this parent evil would cease This, inCle.ecl, was the most striking feature which the picture of Ireland presented to our view. Scarcely any :ping is made the most of. A fine and fruitful country is left in a state of partial and inade quate cultivation. A people gifted with an ex .raordinary vigour of both body and mind, and evidently designed for an elevated place in the scale of nations, is to a great extent ignorant of its own wants ; and is therefore so far from put ting forth it powers, that it appears to rest con t mted with filth, rags, disorder, wretched accom modation, and very inferior diet." ' 'The poPula- Con is only redundant, because the resources of i fine and fertile country are not sufficiently. called• forth,' and because the excessive competi tion for land as a means 'of subsistence gives to he landlord the power of exacting an inordinate rent, which prevents the wretched peasant from collecting capital 'to improve his cultivatio n .' Th e Irish peasant, like the' French peasant under the old regime, is obliged to area a greeter pOsreity . than what he suffers, becausellie measure of the. landlord's demand is the measure of the tenant's means, minus, the potatoes and water for himself and his young bog-trotters. The only', hope we, have of the ultimate impiovement of Ireland, is in . the increase ofthe immediate evil,and not in its relief by partial emigrations to America.' If the English - people were to be so foolish as'to consent 'to pay ma one farthing for this object, it would 'afford immediate ease to the landitaida, end - they might ub on. While the Whole country Swims with redundant people, the landlords cannot detrude„ without subjecting themselves to consequences . to which, hard and unfeeling as they are, their . nerves are not equal. But if the system Cott tinues, the population will eat up, in one way o r other, the whole produce of the estates. This will necessarily compel the landlords to come to such a compromise with the people as the land lords of England and Scotland bare come to. Nothing but necessity will bring them to their 'senses. In an excellent article on the Poor Laws, in the Quarterly Review for March, . 1826, the best •production on the subject we have yet seen, the writer says, cc It has been of ten observed that the present state of Ireland hears, in many points, a very strong resemblance to the state of this country during the sixteenth century. Coinciding in the correctness of this remark, we are disposed to think that the same code of laws which contributed so materially to bring about an improvement in the agricultural economy of England, would be attended "with ,imilar consequences if introduced into Ireland. The introduction of a system of poorlaivs„ ad ministeredhere before the fatal innovation of 1795 , would on the principles ; which 'prevailed gradually- extinguish the practice of subdividing and sub-letting land, which has proved so inju rious to that country; and at the same time it would impose a salutary check upon the sudden and violent depopulation of estates, which inflicts pm the ejected tenantry, now totally unprovided for, sufferings at which humanity shudders. We ,hall not be suspected of wishing to oppose tmy inreasonable impediments to the abolition of the to give icious tenures which now p reva il i n I re l and ; we thethe Irish discarded Landowners p wonld only provide aga i ns t an i n di screet and thrupt alteration o f th e system, which must ?hove easant r i y m . s h \a‘c7kl; unshackled i le we would f atl liberty to manage their property in the m anner which may seem most conducive to their private interests, we would take care that' the-purEtt* of individual gain should not involve the peasantry In absolute destruction ; and we kiirow not how this object could be attained, e xcept by imposing upon the propri e t ors o f land a legal obligation to maintain their ejected tenantry, until they can be provided for elsewhere. -''Wherever a legal.pro vision' has existed for•some time for the M noround for repre mainte- nince °e poor, there is g ;enting it 'as pressing exclusively, or even par_ upon the occupiers of land or houses ; lie poor rates, in fact, constitute a rent charge, .vhich is calculated when they are let ; the amount is deducted from the rent, which, in the absence i f t his burden, would be exacted by the Land- • ord. The only portion of this charge which :an fairly be represented as falling upon the.te. lant is the increase which may happen to take dace in its amount subsequently to the com nencement of his lease. In England, there r'ore, where the law makes a provision for the mor, the opulent Yeomanry deduct the mount )f the poor: rates from the rent which they. pay ; Nhile in Ireland • the case is reversed. In this - jOuntry t heinainteuance of the poor is devolved . ipon the landowner ; in the other, it presses ex
