LAVVINTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. WESTMEATH V. V.'ESTMEATH, Sir CHAS. WETHERELL stated that this petition was ordered to come on upon the question of costs. The pe tition was heard before his Lordship, when Master of the Rolls, and the object.of it was to have a new trustee ap pointed in the room of Lord Talbot. The Marquis of Salisbury had declined to pay Lady Westmeath 500/. a-year pin-money, the interest of a stun to which the in fant daughter of. Lord and Lady Westmeath will be en titled at the death of the Marquis .of Westmeath. Lord Talbot had declined to act, and therefore Lady Westmeath felt under the necessity of instituting a suit against Lords Talbot, Nugent, and Salisbury, for the appointment of a new trustee, and the payment of the arrears oilier pin money. Before the suit came on to a bearing, Lord Max well consented to become the trustee in the room of Lord Talbot, which, being assented to by all parties, the suit dropped, and the only question that remained in dispute was upon the costs. Sir Chas. Wetherell now submitted it was the universal practice that the costs of the suit, so far as it went, should come out of the fund. SuonEN contended that he knew the practice as well as any man in Court, and he asserted that Lady W. had no right to the costs out of the fund. The suit had not been operative, the trustee had not been appointed in consequence of the suit, nor had her Ladyship taken the proper means to get a trustee at first. He was not in structed to oppose the costs being paid out of the fund, hut his clients felt it their duty to see that the funds were not paid away unnecessarily. Sir Crins. WETHERELL considered the arbitrary spirit shown on this occasion, by those who instructed Mr. Sug den, to he pretty much allied to the feeling of monopoly on the part of Mr. S. himself, as to the knowledge of the Court. The practice, however, as laid down by Mr. S. was • perfectly new •to him, as well as to several of his Learned Friends around him ; and he would 'just take the liberty of saying he knew the practice of the Court as well as Mr. Sugden. His LORDSHIP said he would read the affidavits. He understood the question to be, whether the suit bad been properly instituted; and whether the Court could order the costs to be paid out of the fund, if the suit had been pro perly brought. • NEROT V. BtTRNAND. This part-heard appeal was resumed in argument. ADMIRALTY COURT. CAPTURE OF PALEMBANG. Dr. LUMINGTON stated the nature of the circumstances under which this enterprise was brought under the consi deration of the Coiirt. In the year 1811 the English were in possession of the Island of Java, and at that period the reigning Sultan of Palembang entered into a plot against .the Dutch settlement established at Palembang, which was then under the protection of the East India Company. In consequence of ttte treacherous conduct displayed by the Sultan, an expedition was undertaken against Palembang, the land forces being under the command of General Gil lespie, and the naval force under the orders of Capt. Bowen. The result of this armament was, that the Sultan was completely subdued, and finally deposed, and his brother made Sultan in his stead. A considerable quantity ofarnis and stores were captured in this expedition, part of which were sold for 46,000 dollars, which Were divided amongst the captors ; but, as the new Sultan was left in a very em barrassed state, in consequence of the escape of his prede cessor with the whole of the treasure, it was agreed that a considerable part of the property captured should be va lued, and that the new Sultan.should give a bond for the amount.. The property so valued amounted to 200,000 dollars, or abOnt 30,0001. sterling, for which a bond was given by the Sultan to the East • India Company. Subsequently, upon a settlement of accounts be tween the British Government and the East India Company, Which comprehended a variety of trans actions, the Government undertook to meet all claims against the East India Company, arising out of the Palem bang expedition. In the present case, therefore, the de fendants were really the Government, though nominally the East India Company, and on the part of the captors it Was now submitted that the 'East India Company, upon entering into a treaty with the Sultan of Palembang, had made themselves responsible to the captors for the amount at which the booty. 'was valued. There was confessedly a payment of 16,000 dollars, made by the Sultan to the East India Company, and it was insisted on the part of the cap tors, that there were further payments of five thousand dol lars and twenty-three thousand dollars, made, in discharge of the bond. The captors admitted the receipt of fifty five thousand dollars, which is to be subtracted from the original claim 01200,000 dollars. Dr. DODSON followed Dr. LUSNINGTON at the same side. The KING'S AIIiDCATF. (with whom was Dr. .lENNER) said that the Covernment was only anxious that the facts of the case should he brought fairly before the Court. He contended, however, that die captors made themselves the private creditors of the Sultan, and that the East India Company were in no degree responsible for any transactions between the captors and the Sultan. The latter had agreed to pay the East India Company one half of the treasure taken away by the Ex-Sultan, if it could be recovered; and the sums stated to have been received by the East India Company were in liquidation of that claim, and not in liquidation of the bond ; with the exception of the sum of 10,000 dollars, which, as stated by Dr. Lushiugton, was admitted to have been received by the East India Company in payment of the bond given by the Sultan to the captors. 'Dr. JENNEII having been heard at the same side, and Dr. LUSIIINGTON in reply, the case now stands for the consideration of the Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LAW PROMOTION. At the opening of the Court this morning, Mr. CHARLES FREDERICK WILLIAms appeared behind the bar in silk robes, but having received the usual invitation from Lord Tenterden, he took his seat within the bar in the cus tomary manner. DOBSON V. SOTHEBY AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a merchant in Leadenhall-street, to recover from the de fendants, who were directors of the Beacon Fire Insurance Company, the sum of 3001. on a policy of insurance. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL stated the case. The plain tiff had a country residence at Enfield, in Middlesex, where in 1826 be commenced building a barn. In December, before the barn was quite completed, there being some tar ring and painting remaining to be done, the plaintiff ap plied at the Beacon office, and got the building insured at 300/. While the tarring operation was going on, it wasfound necessary to keep a fire in the barn, for the purpose of boiling the tar, and unfortunately on the 10th of January, the tar-kettle'was carelessly left on the fire by the plaintiff's servant, till it boiled over, and the tar caught fire, which communicated to the rest of the building, in consequence of which the whole premises was entirely consumed. The Beacon Company had since been dissolverl, and transferred all their policies to other Insurance Offices. _ _ _ • Mr. Golding, who was Secretary to the Beacon Company, proved th e s i gna t ure o f t h e d e f endants to the policy, which 'was dated th e 28th D ecem b er, commencing from the 25th. David Hargrave, the carpenter who built the barn, said it was fi n i s he d on the Bth of January, and that it was worth 3501. Cross-examined by Mr F Por.LocK.—The barn con sisted of three divi sions,tli a ' e r ( * .e " t utre one contained some wood when the premises were burnt. Henry was too late Young had sent an engine to qu enc h th e fire, but . , Mr. FRED. POLLOCK' addressed the • for the de metrolhave the barn in fondant. When the plaintiff app i ii i le PuT to b e2j a as a plain tiled questionsinsured, he represent e d it house, and did . not state that it was tarred whereas independent of the tarring, which was not d allotted a disclosed, the premises were divided into three parts; one for a cow, another for hay and corn, and the p thit: saw-pit; all w hich Ise never mentioned. The insurancefor a was effected at Is . 6d. per cent, the lowest rate, but if the premises had been fairly described by the def en d ant, they could not b e insured at less than 2s. 6d. Th ere were, ' besides a fire • and a barrel of tar introduced into the building in violation of the policy. Indeed, it would appear, that the plaintiff had anticipated the conflagration, because it was the 18th December that the fire was first introduced into the house, and on the day following he ap_ plied at the office and got it insured. Under all these cir cumstances the Learned Counsel submitted, the plaintiff wa s not entitled to a verdict. James Goddard tari-ed the barn; the fire in which he boiled the tar was first kept at'the outside of the build ing, but a few days before Christmas, the wind blow ing very high, th e plaintiff, notwithstanding witness's remonstrances, prevailed uponithim to remove the fire to the inside. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having replied, Lord TY.NrEItDEN, in summing up, said that the ques tion for the Jury was, whether the property was insured on a fair description by the plaintiff. It appeared to him that it was quite immaterial whether the house was used as a barn, a cow-house, or a saw-pit. The policy did not guard against any thing being introduced into the premises but powder, which was the only article especially men • tinned, and therefore be thought that the 'defendants must hear the loss. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 3001. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ASSAULT. EZEICIEL EVANS V. SNOW. Mr. ABRAHAMS opened the pleadings. This was an action of assault and battery, to which the defendant pleaded " Not Guilty. . Mr. Sergeant WIT.DE stated the case very briefly, and called a person named Andrews, who was present when the assault was committed. The witness stated, that in October last he dined in company with some friends, among whom were the plaintiff and the defendant, at the Bull Inn, Hoxton. Whilst the witness was stand- - ing at the window, he heard some angry words pass be tween Evans and Snow, and on turning round, he saw Snow strike the plaintiff on the side and knock him down, " chair and all." The defendant is a tall powerful man, and the plaintiff " a very . little 'nn indeed." Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Tannv—The parties are toll-collectors. They drank a few bottles of wine after dinner, but had not been larking each other. The witness heard Evans call Snow u a cuckoo," and say to him, " I am as good a man as you for any thing."—(A laugh.)— They all drank tea together, after. the assault, and the witness believes that Evans and. Snow drank out of the same tea-pot.—(A laugh.)—The witness remembers hearing Snow call Evans a very had name. William Taylor, a surgeon, saw' Evans three days after he received the blow; he had then a difficulty in breathing, symptoms of anxiety about him—(a laugh)—he had evi dently an arterial hemorrhage, and such as a hurt of the description which he received. might produce. He was now tolerably, but whenever he got cold he would he likelt• to feel the effects again. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY, for the defendant—l hope, gen tlemen, that none of us would wish to be called Cuckoo." It has been a very disagreeable name to be applied to mar ried men ever since the days of Shakespear.—(A laugh.)— We all know that at certain times of the• year that bird warns husbands .of their fate, for, as the poet says— " The cuckoo, then, On every tree, Mocks married men, For thus sings he, Cuckoo, cuckoo !"—(Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, " this is too bad." It was - always an ominous sound. It is " A word of fear, Unplea,sing to a married ear." (Continued laughter.) And then, gentlemen, we are told by , the witness, that the plaintiff boastingly said, that he 'was as good a man for any thing as the defendant. Why, really one must be dull and deaf not to under stand the meaning of such dreadful imputations. —To Mr. Snow, they must have been particularly galling; they must have deeply wounded the delicate sen sibility of him who was " as pure as the consecrated snow that lies on Dian's lap."—(Laughter.)—Now Gentlemen, is not this a mere trumpery piece of business, and yet let us see what Scriptural names we have mixed up with it; here I have Elisha on my brief; the plaintiff is Ezekiel; Isaac, is the defendant's solicitor ; and my friend Abraham is Counsel for the plaintiff; and all this array of holy per sonages has been pressed into the service for the purpose of getting up this cuckoo case.—(Continued laughter.) —.I am afraid, however, gentlemen, that you must give the plaintiff a verdict, but then let him have what lie deserves, by dismissing him with one shilling. • The Loan CHIEF JusTlcE, in summing up, said, that in all probability the defendant had never read Shakspeare, and therefore could not be supposed to take violent offence at being called a cuckoo. His Lordship left it to the Jury to consider whether one shilling could possibly be a com pensation for what appeared from the evidence of the sur geon to be a severe blow. The Jury, after a few moments' consultation, returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages one shilling ; costs one shilling. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

BROMLEY, JULY 19.—The body of a female was yesterday discovered floating in that part of the Ra vensbourne, that flows through the Bishop of Rochester's Park, near Bromley. She was very respectably dressed, but only one halfpenny was found in her pocket. It is not known who she is, but it is surmised that she came from London, possibly for the horrible purpose she has so fatally accomplished. A celebrated clerical fox-hunter being about to be presented to a London living, one of his tally-ho friends expressed a hope that it would be that of All hallows-barking COACH ACCIDENT.--T 4 Celerity and Defiance coaches have been upset on the road between Plymouth and London.

SUNDAY, Jur.v 15.—This morning at ten o'clock, their Royal Highnesses left Mount Edgecumbe, in the Admiral's barge, under a salute from the batteries and ships, the latter being dressed, with yards nianned, and proceeded to the Britannia, to attend divine service on board that ship. The Countess of Northesk, and Mrs. Captain Hawker, were in waiting to receive the Duchess. After the service, her Royal Highness went through the ship, with which she appeared highly gratified. At half-past two, her Royal Highness returned to Mount Edgecumbe, and the Lord High Admiral went to the Admiral's-house, where his Royal Highness held a levee, and gave audience to up wards of 103 Officers. After the levee, his Royal Highness returned to Mount Edgecumbe. MonnAv.—This .morning his Royal Highness held another levee and saw 50 officers. Afterwards his Royal highness visited the ships in Commission, and landed at the Dock-yard, and passed through to the Gunwharf,' which establishment his Royal Highness minutely inspected. In the afternoon, his Royal Highness received the con gratulatory address of the inhabitants of Devonport, at the Mtniral'i-house, Mount Wise. A deputation was appointed to present the address, and a procession walked from the Town Hall to Mount Wise, and for Med a line in front of the Admiral's house. The Deputation then wero admitted to the presence of his Royal Highness, and presented the following Address TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE WILLIAM HENRY MIER OF CLARENCE, LORD HIGH ADMIRAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN. May it please your Royal Highness, . •. . We, the Commissinners and inhabitants of the Town of Devonport and Parish of Stoke Damerel, approach your Royal Highness with feelings of unmixed pleasure, to offer our bumble but sincere congratulations upon your Royal Highness's arrival in this Port, in the ancient and dignified office of Lord High Admiral of Great Britain. - . Alive froze our Maritime situation to the welftre of the Navy, we Ka . iled with delight the appointment of your Royal Highness to the direction of its powerful energies, as eminently calculated to promote its interests and increase its glory. iityWever inferior in political importance, Devonport with its forty thousand inhabitants has never been surpassed in loyalty, and the gracious condescension of our beloved So vereign, in conferring a name upon our town, has excited feelings of. veneration , and. gratitude, which we shall ever devoutly cherish. Your Royal Highness is endeared to us by many recol lections, and it is our unfeigned and constant prayer, that your Royal Highness may be long preserved in health, to support by your firmness and wisdom, the Naval and Con stitutional bulwarks of the nation. To which his Royal Highness returned the following answer : Gentlemen—l return you my sincere thanks for your congratulations on my arrival in this port, in the character of the ancient and dignified office of Lord High Admiral. I cannot undervalue. the importance of Devonport, with its forty thousand loyal inhabitants, and ant sure the gracious condescension of our beloved Sovereign will ever be gratefully remembered, for having conferred a name upon the town in which exists so important a naval arsenal. I must always remember with pleasure the many *appy hours I formerly spent in this place, and I thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes, and shall use my` best and constant endeavours to execute faithfully the high trust im posed on me by the gracious goodness of the King. (Signed) WILLIAM. After the a4ress had been presented, the procession passed over the Parade, and through the Gate opposite the Main Guard, into the Town and through St. Anhyn-street Fore-street, and Duke -street, to the Town-Hall, where a vast number of the inhabitants were assembled, and the Churchwarden having taken the chair, Mr. Rodd stated the result. The answer of his Royal Ilighness, was then read by Mr. Rodd, and was received with thunders of applause, which lasted several minutes. Thanks were then voted to the deputation, and Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. At half-past five o'clock, a numerous and respectable portiOn of the inhabitants, sat down to a most excellent dinner, which was served up" in the Town-Hall, by Mr. Elliot, of the Royal Hotel. This day her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence, held a drawing room. at Mount Edgeumbe, which was at tended by a vast number of Naval officers and their ladies. TtiEsitay.—His Royal Highness the Lord High Admi ral, attended by the Earl of Northesk, Sir Byam Martin, ' Sir Edward Owen, Sir William Hoste, John Barrow,'Esq. &c. &c. visited the Athenum, for the purpose. of witness ing the experiments of our truly scientific townsman, Mr. William S. Harris, on the application of lightening conduc tors to ships. Soon after eleven, his Royal Highness and suite arrived at the Athenaeum, and were received at the gate by the President, and officers of the Institution, by whom he was conducted into the Hail, where the other Members were assembled. Mr. Harris then proceeded to explain the principles upon which his improved conductors were constructed, and demonstrated by experiments, the most ingenious and satisfactory, the decided superiority of fixed and permanent conductors over the moveable ones at present employed. From a powerful machine he passed the electric fluid down the mast and through the keel of an elegant model of a ship of war, floating in a large ve sse l filled with water, to a boat at a distance from the ship. A portion of combustible powder was placed around the mast and in the boat; and simultaneously with the electric shock the powder in the boat exploded, leaving that around the mast through which the fluid bad passed by means of the conductor untouched ;—thus proving in a manner clear to the simplest apprehension, that a ship protected by these conductors would escape unhurt from the effects of the most violent thunder-storm. In a second experiment, he passed a similar shock through a mast two or three inches in diameter, protected like the former by a conduc tor, which remained uninjured; b u t another shock being passed through it, the conductor having been preViously removed, it was immediately shivered to pieces. The Lord High Admiral paid the most courteous attention to and spoke fro m personal experience of the dangers the experiments and illust ra ti ons b roug h t f orward by M r. to H a which rris ships are exposed from the effects of lightning ; and showed by the various questions lie was pleased to put, that he iad entered most fully into the scientific de. tails which had been submitted to his notice. It was also pleasing p observe, that th e exper i ments an d exp l anat i ons' were m inutely attended t o , b y t h e severa l a bl e an d sc i entific gentl em en in his Royal Hi g h ness ' s su i te. Af ter t h e expe riment, the President, Henry W oo llcombe,.Esq., thanked hi s R o yal Highness for con d escen di ng to h onour t h e Ply mouth Institution with hi s p resence on thi s occas i on, and alluded to the former proofs of Royal favour and munifi cence, which have adorned the walls of the Athenaeum, with casts from the Elgin Marbles, the present of his Most Gracious Majesty, and concluded with stating briefly the general. objects of the Institution; in the furtherance of which he had the pleasure to say, many officers of the Naval profession were associated. To this address his Royal Highness was pleased to return a gracious answer and retired, being attended to his carriage by the officers and members of the society. His Royal Dighness on leaving the Athenaeum, proceeded in the Admiral's barge to Hamoaze,- where he went on hoard the San Josef, and mustered and inspected the Or • Binary. Afterwards his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duchess, who had in the morning visited the Dock yard, embarked on board the Lightning steamer, and paid another visit of inspection to the Breakwater. Her Royal Highness seemed highly gratified by her visits to the Dock yard and Breakwater. At the former establishment, she went on board, and 'particularly examined the 110 gun ship, now on the stocks, and which in compliMent to her Royal Highness, is called the Royal. Adelaide. In the evening their Royal Highnesses gave a splen did Ball and Supper on board the yacht, to the resi dent and visiting Nobility and Gentry, to the Heads of Departments, Officers in the Navy, Army, &c. For this occasion the Meteor steam-vessel was lashed •alongside the yacht, to the level of which she was raised by a false deck, and with which she communicated by a platform, enclosed, roofed, and carpeted, forming a convenient, safe, and elegant passage. The decks of both vessels were co vered with an awning, extending nearly the entire length, and composed of the standard and 'various flags of England, and several other nations; those most friendly to thi, country being placed in the most conspicuous situations.— At convenient intervals were suspended large branches with wax candles, which diffused abundant light, and dis played to great advantage the gay colouring and various devices of the awning. The raised deck of the steamer was tastefully chalked, and the masts and other parts were decorated with evergreens. At each end was a splendid canopy of silk flags, beneath which were placed sofas for the Royal Host and Hostess, and in other places were seats for the accommodation of the guests. At the lower end of this, which we may designate the ball-roorn, were two elegant orchestras, hung with flags and adorned with ever greens. The deck of the yacht, from stern to about midship, was laid out in a commodious manner with long tables, upon which was placed a sumptuous collation, with the choicest and most costly wines. About half-past ten o'clock their Royal Highnesses went on board the yacht, and shortly afterwards all the company to the number of between five and six hundred had assembled. About eleven o'clock the dancing commenced, to the excellent music of the Marine ' Band, and was kept up with spirit—Quadrilles and Waltzes alternately putting forth- their attractions, until twelve o'clock, when supper was announced. After supper, their Royal Highnesses returned to the Ball-room, where dancing was resumed, and after Rome time, the royal barge was brought alongside, and their Royal Highnesses departed for Moupt Edgecumbe, leaving the minds of the vast assem blage deeply impressed by the urbanity of their Royal Highnesses' demeanour during the evening. The company did not entirely break up till two o'clock. The following were among the guests :—His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquis of Graham, the Earl of Darnley, the Earl of Northesk, the Earl of Errol, Earl St. Germains, the Earl of Morley, Lord Valletort, Major. General Sir John Cameron, Sir W. Fahie, and Lady, Com missioner Sir J. A. Gordon, Admiral Sir M. Dixon, and Lady, Rear-Admiral Sir E., Owen, Commissioner Shields, Colonel Morshead, R.E. and , family, Colonel Bainbrigg, and Lady, Colonel Bunbury, Colonel Taylor, Lieutenant- Colonel Durnford, R. A., Colonel Forbes, Major Smith, and Lads', Majora Arc Wall, Thorn, Booth,'Olennie, Caern cross, Brandreth ; Captains Sir Charles Dashwood, Camp bell, King, Hawker, Bowker, and Ladies ; Commander Foote, and family, Commanders Lewis, Richardson, Dundas, Waldegra.ve ; Rev. Messrs. Hennah, Holliday, Birdwood; B. Tucker, and J. Tucker, Esors. and families ; Mr. and Mrs. Strode, Mr. and Mrs. Carew, and family, Lady B. Bulteel, Lady L. Call. WEDNESDAY. —At eleven o'clock, his Royal Highness inspected on the Hoe, all the troops in Garrison, including the Royal Marines. In the evening his Royal Highness dined with Mr. Commissioner Shield, at the Dock-yard, on which occasion a grand procession of the men employed in the yard was formed to receive his Royal Highness. Her Royal Highness went up the Tamer in the Lightning' steamer this ,day, as far as the Weir-head, to enjoy the beautiful scenery, which that trip embraces. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence will par take of a dejeunt; with the Lady of Sir John Cameron, this day in the Citadel. Her Royal Highness will laud at the Agent's Steps, in the Victualling Office, and proceed by a ivate way to the Lower Fort, steps for the ascent, cover ed with green cloth, having been erected for the occasion. This day his Royal Highness dines with the Officers of the Garrison (not with the Field-Officers only, as erro neously stated in our last) at Elliott's Hotel,• Devonport; and in the evening his Royal Highness, with the Duchess, will attend the Regatta Ball, at Whiddon's Hotel. To-morrow (Friday) their Royal Highnesses leave this port for Milford.—Plymouth Journal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-Jux 19.

He is now preparing his appeal to the House of Lords against the decree of the late Lord Chan cellor ; but meanwhile he has sent out two let ters on the subject of that appeal, and on his claim generally to be the guardian of his own children, which will be read with interest. No one can deny to the writer of these letters the possession of considerable talents ; and above all, if he would accept of such a compliment from us, the happy tact of expressing himself, with the re serve and delicacy of a highly well-bred gentle man. His strong objection to the Misses Long having the care of his children, and more parti cularly of his daughter, is their being tainted with sectarian principles; and certainly, whoever considers where the advantages of good society, unpretending goodness, liberal principles, 'and refined habits prevail, would feel the same anxiety ; but the ladies in question do appear to be very far gone indeed in sectarianism . , to be able, in their rank of life, to bear the conversa tion, and share the correspondence, (such a man !) one John Barry, wliilom the apothecary of the late Sir James Long ! More than Mo- Here ever pictured in the character of the Tar tuffe—more than ever Cowley exhibited in that of " Cutter, of Coleman-street," appears to exist really and livingly in this John Barry, of Beau fort-buildings. From him Mr. Wellesley pub lishes in the Appendix several letters to the Misses Long : they are all exquisite, and would do for the stage. We shall insert one of them. How it came to Mr. Wellesley's hands, we know not My dear Miss Long " Pro bond public°. . . " A wise man once paid, never is there any thing done, whilst there is any thing left undone. Mr. Arnold will receive your instructions by this day's post. Thi s f ar , i s done ; but to pay my debt to you is on ly now d o i ng —Ah me ! and in what coin ?—But why ask me ?—Did n ot thi s morning, twenty summers now past, usher my dear friend, into the world ! Nor would it satisfy my voraciousness— an odd word—if 1 had words of congratulation sufficient tofill a volume upon the occasion; but you, having a more moderate appetite, will be satisfied with the assurance that we are not among the least of your friends in rejoicing upon the occasion. A short time ago, I was ready to, and almost desirous of, taking my flight from this lower world into the heavenly regions; but, in order to tee this day once more, to see my che.re amie take possession of the means, and to eee her follow the natural bent of her mind in applying those means, as well for the comfort of others as her own, I say, that, in order to be a spectator of these things, I shall be contented, if it is the will of Providence, to bear the events of another year, even if equal to this last as to corporeal sen sations. However, to put an end to a subject which begins to be too serious, I shall beg leave to know what amends you will make for the irregularity which xvill be introduced into my house to-day? It is now eleven o'clock only, and common - decency has prevented my dory from having recourse t.; the brandy-bottle, which she is as fond of as yourself ; and as to the kitchen folks, I have them secure under lock and key until a proper time; but when the mistress and vir gins begin, it will behove the master to keep himself sober, that should they, in their cups, set the house on fire, there may be somebody to put it out. I was thinking about some constables to keep order, but fear that when acquaint ed with the cause of their being summoned, viz. Lady C.T. Long's and her daughter's characters for generosity and hospitality being so well known, they will run restive also; so that, upon the whole, I think it best that I don't trans fer my authority, but keep the reins tight in hand. Yes, yes, the reins—now what a fortunate word—and why? I'll tell you. The word reins, if not tiresome to you to hear a third time, puts me in mind of a bridle ; thence, by a concatenation of ideas, springs up a saddle, and —won derfully marvellous the fertility of my genius !—hence is produced a noble creature called a horse. And now seem to soar beyond this terraqueous globe for a still more sublime thought :—Oh, I have it; and what, then, is it ? may be, questioned. Answer—l ere you, even You, ele gantly seated upon this said horse. Very well, Mr. 13arry-, and why all this puzzling yourself, as I am sure you must have done, by this roundabout way of wishing me a plea sant ride. I suppose, now, I must tell you, my dear Miss, that hoivever vain you may be in the imagination that you have unravelled my design, yet you have only don• it in part, as I not only intended what your deep judgmerA, found out, as to my wishing you a pleasant airing, but also that I had a further motive, which, as a friend, I will let you into the secret of; and that was, as this letter was not to contain a word of advice more than the quotation from the wise man with which it commenced, to assist in filling up my paper; so, if the secret is worth having, pray rgulember that you are in my debt for it. Again, let us return to the serious, that I may thank your mamma not only for the entertainment at their house, but likewise for the maintenance of us at our own ; as our servants, being ignorant of our return, were not pro vided for us, so that our pair of nice young rabbits stood us in good stead. But this was only part of her kindness; however, between you and me, she is a very cruel woman, for over the servants'-hall fireplace it is written, or used to be, I well remember, that the merciful man is merci ful to his beast." Now, the same is meant for woman as well as man ; and I can prove your mamma to be very un merciful, by loading her own horses, and afterwards 41rs. Lawea's, with so many good things for such undeserving creatures as we are; however, as my old woman loves good eating as well as good drinking, we shall not make any further complaint. Now, according to my motto, I should say something for your sisters to hear !—Oh, that I could say any good—and yet it is very , hard, with my gi‘joti kind of ,stf;ong inclination to be censorious about them—that I cau l:x.4,-ogs not,gyen invent anything reflecting upon them however, I wZ, Ihe as spiteful as I can, by charging them with having so early, out of complaisance, before thi; appetites were ripe for the morning's meal of your rinds 17 _,:ene, and when manA t r w e Le n . he joins in a laugh. As to yourself, hereby make it he returnsshall on t i v y i with known to all your auditors, that 1 t 'etsik you are a provok ingly pleasing young lady, "ert present ; and that in the course of time, with good instructions, n ot f ic u e ll t b h , a d t ge l t ie of is a you will become more than tolerable. in the mean time, lest you should think me intolerable, I shall, with our united respects and love to all the parties mentioned, subscribe myself, my dear Miss Long, your's truly, very truly, J. BARRY." " Beaufort-buildings, Oct. 2, 1809. Oh the blessed morn " 4 When the child was horn.'" It is amusing to hear Mr. Wellesley talk of improving the estate of the Longs. He appeals to the public in these letters. The public can not. shut their eyes to the fact, that under his management, Wanstead• house has vanished from the face of the earth. However, on this subject, we present the following extract : "Look at the Draycat estate, the property of my eldest t t re . aut A hor r i ec ty ei o v f er th a e nd c, n mt ia r n t— age:• nleieadsybreeeltaipvepooifn the Misses Long, to which I disdained making any opposition; my resolution being not to interfere with the property, i i ier r l to be deprived of the custody of my children. management of it with mine.

During all that time it was under the control of the Court of Chancery, and became a source of,profit and exaction to a host of trustees, guardians, ma nagers, agents, and receivers, appointed under the autho rity of the Court. As they becam e enriched, the estate became impoverished, and years of care, and very great expense on my part, were afterwards necessary to repair their waste as.d neglect."
