The farmers ? They would speedily have the y soul an equi va l ent a ddi t i onal rent to pay, although d be reli eve d f rom an onerous burden. The landholders ? Why should such an addition be made to theirrll property ? There is one arrangement by which the welt, important part of the community, the poorer classes, that d C hiefly, though not exclusively benefit ; and that is, at the tithes should be brought up, or compounded for " 1 . each pariah ; and, with the proceeds, elementary .. n lel ' et ctols be every where established. This measure would 'w a ll y ipe off the disgrace, which the gross neglect of !ll clergy in this country and Ireland, in the education of r or, has brought upon the two countries ; and is E.ll idispentable basis for the institution of any system of Permanent good government E • xaminer. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) 'COURT OF KING'S BENCH. COLLINS V. GODFREY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, to recover the sum of six guineas under the following circumstances. The present defendant Mr. Godfrey, some time since was a party to an action in the Court to Common Pleas, on which occasion he subpoenaed Mr. Col lins as a witness, he in consequence attended the Court six successive days ; but when the trial came on he eras not called into the witness box. Mr. Collins when lo was tendered his expences, made a charge of a guinea I: day for loss of time, which Mr. Godfrey refused to pay, and an action was brought to recover it. On the trial before Lord Tenterden, the plaintiff was nonsuited. In Easter Term Mr. CAMPBELL obtained a rule to chew cause why that nonsuit should not be set aside and n verdict entered for the plaintiff. Mr. KELLY this morning showed cause against the rule, and contended at great length that it could not be supported. He was fully aware that it had been the prac tice of Masters en taxing bills of costs to allow medics' men and attornies for loss of time; but yet, as there wi no Act of Parliament to sanction such an allowance, it could not be recovered by an action at law. The Act of Elizsbeth, which made a person punishable for disobeying the King's writ, did not say one word about loss of time— it merely provided for reasonable expellees. It had been held that Sheriffs attending at elections of Members o? Parliament could not recover for loss of time—and on the same principle of reasoning he (Mr. Kelly) contended that, as the plaintiff had only performed a particular duty, he bad no right to'rtcompence for loss of time: neither did he see the justice of allowing for loss of time to me dical men and attornies, when brokers, merchants, and others, were not allowed anything. He therefore sub mitted that the rule must be discharged. Mr. CAMPBELL, in support of the plaintiff, argued on the justice of allowing witnesses for loss of time. If they neglected to obey a subpoena they were rendered liable to heavy penalties, and therefore it was too much t o compel them to leave their business day after day, and then to refuse any remuneration for loss of time. Mr. Collins had attended the Court of Common Pleas for six long days, and the fact of his not being called into the witness-box did not alter the features of the case. The Court would also remember that it had been the invadable cottons of Masters to allow attorneys for loss of time. The Court consulted for a length of time, aft •r which Lord TZNTEEDEN said the point was one of great im portance; before they, therefore, pronounced judgment, they would take an opportunity of consulting the other Judges on the subject. Ne other case of public interest came on during the morning. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ILAMILTON V. JONES AND OTHERS. Mr. Charles Pitt, surveyor, residing in the Adelphi, once more appeared in person in this Court, and moved for a rule to sliew cause why the plaintiff in this cause should not refund 311. 155., part of 66/. 75., which he, Mr. Pitt, being one of the defendants in this cause, had paid in consequence of a verdict having been given in favour of Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Pitt began to cast several reflec tions on the practice of the Court, when The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, " You must behave yourself properly if you wish to be beard." Mr. Pitt resumed, and his stentorian voice was sufficient to shake the nerves of any common person. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Mr. Pitt, you speak so loud, I cannot hear you.—(A laugh.) Mr. Pitt then put in an affidavit, specifying the exact grounds on which be made his motion, and the Court granted him a rule nisi. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Montreal Papers to the 10th December, Quebec to the Bth December, and Port-au-Prince to the 22d November, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they are void of interest. The Montreal Paper states the return to Bermuda of his Excellency General Hilgrove Turner from Halifax, with his lady ; but the Bermuda Paper says his Excel lency is not in a good state of health. We have an arrival from Calcutta of the 16th Sept., a few days later than the last accour.ts ; as yet we have not seen the papers. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 15.—The import of Cotton this week is 5,559 bags, and the sales are 11,830 hags, at a decline of fully hd. per lb., and in some instances id. per lb.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at on Saturday, 82? ' ,at Which price they continue at present. We have no reports or news as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. According to act:tunas from the frontiers of Russia, it appears that the Russian army will amount to 145,000 men, infantry, and 18,000 cavalry, with 600 pieces of cannon, to attack the Poles, at the same time they are organizing a strong reserve, which is to follow the army of operation. Last week Bru►sels was' thrown into great alarm by a report that the Provisional Government was going to be ovet turned by a counter revolution on the 11th, but that day passed over without any such attempt. The private accounts from Ghent state that the Bel gian at my is preparing for an attack against Holland. The Dutch troops from Celuse and Ostbourg, to the nuseber of 10,000 men, approached Ghent and thought to take it by a coup de main, but they were stopped at Mal deghein, where a sharp engagement took place and the enemy were put to the route. Two pieces of cannon were taken by tile Volunteers. The Dutch, in their retreat, burnt two houses and damaged several others. On the 9th fresh troops left Antwerp, artillery and cavalry, for the Dutch frontiers. From 113yonne they write that the Spanish Govern mmn have decided to levy immediately eighty thousand men. The private letters from Paris are still of a gloomy na ture in regard to the commercial distress in that capital. The revenue will be deficient, as they have great difficulty in collecting the taxes. Consols continue at S2ii for the account, with little doing, as the speculators are busy in making up their ac counts against next Thursday, whirls will be settling day in Consols.

CLARK, CHAMBERLAIN OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Information was received yesterday morning from Chertsey, of the death of Mr. Clark, Chamberlain of the City of London. Mr. Clark was in his ninety-third year, and has for some time past been in a very infirm state of health. He was elected Alderman of Broad-street Ward in 1776 ; he served the office of Sheriff in 1777, and was elected Lord Mayor in 1784. He succeeded John Wilkes as City Chamberlain in 1798. The salary of the office is about 3,000/. a-yetr, including the balance allowed to remain in the hands of the Chamberlain. The gift is in the Livery of London. Mr. Clark was Chairman of Bridewell Hospital, and by virtue of that office, occupied a handsome house in Bridge-street, Filackfriars. One candidate for the appointment is that tried and valued representative of the people, Mr. Alderman Waith man. Mr. Alderman Waithman has filled, with dignity and impartiality, all the higher city offices, and been a member of the Corporation nearly 40 years. The other candidates that were mentioned during the illness of Mr. Clark, were Mr. Alderman Shaw and Mr. Alderman Wood. The election of either will cause a vacant aldermanic gown, as he must vacate his seat in the Court of Aldermen before he can accept the appointment. BRITISH WEST INDIA COLONIES. At a meeting of manufacturers, traders, ship-owners, and others, especially connected with the trade to the West India Colonies, held at the Jamaica Coffee-house, Cornhill, on Tuesday, the 10th of January, 1831, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Par liament for a fair and just protection of the various British interests involved in the trade with those colonies in the progress of any legislative measures for the emancipation of the slave population, the following petition to the Ho nourable House of Commons was unanimously adopted " TO THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. " THE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED MA hIUFACTU RERS, TRA DERS, SHIP-OWNERS, AND OTHERS CONCERNED IN THE PRODUCTION AND EXPORT FROM THE PORT OF LONDON OF THE VARIOUS SUPPLIES REQUIRED FOR THE USE OF THE - BRITISH WEST INDIA CO LONIES, "Shewetb,—That your petitioners are deeply interested in the preservation and prosperity of the West India Co lonies, many of them having large capitals embarked in their respective occupations, whereby employment is af forded to thousands of industrious artizaus, seamen, la bourers, and others. " That it has therefore been with surprise and alarm that your petitioners have witnessed the attacks made throughout the country on all the interests connected with those colonies, by the persevering efforts employed to ob tain petitions to your Honourablv House, praying for the immediate and unqualified emancipation of all the slaves in his Majesty's dominions. " That your petitioners are thoroughly convinced that the adoption of such a measure, instead of improving the condition of the slave population, would reduce them to misery and destitution, involve them in anarchy, and even tually terminate in their relapse into barbarian], or their total annihilation ; that it would cause the entire destruc tion of all property in the West India Colonies ; would entail utter ruin upon many, and inflict deep injury upon all your petitioners, while it would aggravate the distresses of the labouring classes in this country, by depriving thou sands of industrious individuals of their accustomed em ployments in the production and manufacture of articles of export to the British West Indies. " That especially warned by the awful example of St. Domingo, of the dangers attendant on the sudden re moval of the restraints of slavery from a population Ur, prepared for the reception of the blessings of freedom, as evinced in the destruction of life and property, and the enormous decrease of cultivation in that island, your peti tioners solemnly implore your Honourable House only to adopt measures for the final emancipation of the negro population in the spirit of the wise, temperate, and bene volent resolutions of your Honourable House on this sub ject of the 15th of May, 1823, in the propriety of which resolutions your petitioners fully concur. " Your petitioners therefore pray, that in accordance with the said resolutions your Honourable House will re fuse your assent to every proposition for hasty and unqua lified emancipation, and that in any enactment for pro moting the final abolition of slavery, the well-being of the slaves may be secured by effectual measures for ameliorating their condition, the rights of the colonists to property acquired under the sanction of the laws of the land may he protected by just and equitable compensation, and the interests of your petitioners be preserved from utter de struction by the adoption of such a cautious and prudent course in respect to the general interests of the colonies, as may at least afford time fur the gradual transfer of tLc capital and industry of your petitioners into other channels." At the same time a similar petition was agreed on to the House of Lords. The petitions will lie for signatures at the Jamaica Coff,:e-house until Saturday, the 29th instant, inclusive. TRIAL OF MR. SAVILLE, THE SUFFOLK SWING. SUFFOLK SESSIONS.—BURY, Jl v. 15. The defendant wag indicted for distributing two letters in the parish of Stradishall, in the county of Suffolk, of which the following are copies cc Will you, Farmers and Parsons, pay us better for our labour? If you won't, we will put you in bodily fear. SWING." rt 0, ye Church of England Parsons, who Stl-ain — at a gnat and swallow a camel. Woe, woe, woe, be to you, ye shall have your reward." Mr. EAGLE stated the case on the part of the prosecu tion. After detailing the facts as proved by the evidence, he contended that the defendant was indictable at common law, the. offence having a tendency to disturb the public peace. Elizabeth Hay examined--I live at Stradishall. On the 16th of December I ,aw the defendant, who was riding in a gig. I perceived he had a paper in his hand. I can not say whether he saw me, but he might have done so, as I was in the garden, close by him. It was about ten o'clock in the morning. I saw him throw a piece of paper on the road; I picked it up, and found it in two pieces. _.-(The witness identified the papers produced in Court.) gav e them to my husband. Mr. Ray (husband of l as t witness) proved the; receipt of the papers from her. Mr. Brown, of Stradishall, proved that he pursued the defendant many miles, and apprehended him, and found pieces Of torn paper upon him. Mr. GUNNING, for tke defendant, contended the case ought not to go to a Jury, as it was not within the sta tutes for sending thretuening letters, inasmuch as the letters were directed to no one, and contained no threat to born or injure, or to extort money. Mr. AusTF:: followed on the same side, and contended w as no actual o ff ence , an d no attempt to commit ° cognizable at commo n l aw ; no ex h or t a ti on t o r i o t, a ti r. l7e . e' i r no excitement to crime ; nor was there that vicious intention necessary to render an act criminal. He con tended also that the indictment was bad oo the statement of the inducement and its inuendoes, and cited several authorities in support of his argument. Mr. EAGLE and Mr. PENDECRAYT were heard in an swer to the objections; but the Court overruled them, leaving the defendant at liberty to raise them in the Court of King's Bench. 2lr• GUNNING then addressed the Jury fur the defendant on the facts of the case. The Rev. Ricl;ardlNhittingliam, Vicar of Potton, near Gamlingay, where the defendant resided, said he had known the defendant forty years., and considered him a most humane, charitable, peaceable, and highly moral man, very benevolent to the poor, and his political senti ments loyal and constituional. Nine other gentlemen from the neighbourhood of Potton, amongst whom was the Rev. Enoch Mi.nnine, Dissenting Minister, gave similar testimony, and spoke to having known the defendant from 20 to 40 ye;:ri.. The CIIAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of' the high respectability of his character. The COURT sentenced the defendant to twelve months' imprisonment, and a tine of 50/. We received last night, per Britannia, frotu the North and South American Coffee-house, American Papers to the 17th December. The part of the Piti:st- DENT'S Message respecting Banks has caused much dis cussion in these papers. A violent gale has done vll6 damage to the shipping in the Chesapeak. Dr. CHANNING, well known in this carnal'', has taken a passage for St. Croix, on account of illness. The census of New York is nearly completed. The Wards already numbered con tain 1 78,826 inhabitants ; when completed, the popula tion, it is said, will be found 213,7.50. On Thursday week the wife of LABAN Cox, near Chalford, Glonre,tershire, was delivered of three female children. DOVER. JAN. 15. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) I had hoped that the horrible system of stack burning in this county had ceased, but last night about six o'clock as alarm was gi% e - n of a fire at the Priory, a large farm adj doing the town, the property of Mr. Jolyn Coleman, who occupies it. The fire bloke out in a hem stack in the centre of his stack-yard, and in spite of the greatest exertions of the inhabitants and the military, very speedily extended to - four large wheat stacks and a straw stack, the whole of which was burnt. We never saw better order or fiber feeling prevail than on this occasion. The townsmen and the garrison appeared to be vyeing with each other, as to who should render the greater services, and this conduct, no doubt, saved two large wheat stacks and two large barns filled with corn that were frightfully close to those burnt. It lines not appear that there is yet any clue to the detection of the incendiary, but the magi trates are now sitting on the case. They have one suspected man in custody, and it is reported their officers are on the alert for others. It is said they will immediately offer a large reward for his apprehension in addition to any reward that may be offered by the Government. This fire has created the more surprise here, as Mr. Coleman had never employed any threshing machine, and had always borne the character of a very kind and liberal master. It mug have been very gratify ing to lain to ha re seen how zealously his friends rallied round him in the time of need. We noticed the Mayor and the greater part of the magistrates, Colonel Cleeve, the Commandant of the Garrison ; Lord Charles Wellesley, Capt. Gosset, and many officers of the Rifle Brigade, Captain Edward Boxer, R.N., and very many of the most respectable inhabitants, encouraging hy their example the efforts and exertions of the townsmen and the military for several hours in serving admirably five engines, and thus rescuing from the devouring element much valuable property. It is reported Mr. Coleman is insured in the Sun Fite-office. THE CALL OF POLAND TO EUROPE. By EDMUND READE, Esq.. Author of " Cain the Wanderer," " Revolt of the Angels," tte Must we again he trample&to the dust, Crush'd beneath Tyranny's gigantic tread ? Nations of Europe! hear—ye shall—ye must : Ye have stood by and watch'd us while we bled, Nor rais'd a hand, nor mourn'd our heroes dead ; Will ye new look on, and our struggles mock ? Lo, Liberty hath bounded from her bed, Her bar'd arm rais'd—her throne upon the rocit— And stamp'd upon her chains, and earth hath felt the shock, And chiefly thou, high France, who standest now Prouder than Rome, when girt with loftiest bays! Will Freedom's crown be shaken from thy brow, Or soiled in stooping frOm thy height to raise Those who have bask'd within its sunlike rays, Until they felt they too were men once more, And dar'd to emulate thy glorious dabs, And wash their wrongs out in their tyrants' gore, Or perish in the field—crush'd down for evermore! Spitit of Kosciusko! rouse, awake From thy long sleep, and look upon our deeds ! Our hearts no more cm bend, but they shall break : We may be scatter'd by the shock like weeds On the surf-beaten shore, but still succeeds The tide until it reach its fated height : Never in vain the heart of freeman bleeds ! Blood may be shed like water in the tight, But mankind wakes at last, and vindicates the right. And thou, to whom our cries in vain ascended From Prague's red bridge, from Warsaw's fiery wall ! 0, God of Freedom: if our crimes offended, • And made thee then insensate to our call, Are we not now more sinn'd against ? Then fall Thy wrath upon them, scorching like a scroll! And let the nations who behold our thrall, Prove in their turn the tyrant's worst controul, 0, let them feel the iron entering in the soul! DISPERSION OF A COMMITTEE BY THE POLICE MAGISTRATES ! (From the Second Edition of the Dublin Morning Post of SAturday.) At ten o'clock this morning the Committee of thirty-one, appointed to make regulations for the great meeting, to petition Parliament for a repeal of the Union, assembled together, at Hayes's Tavern, in Dawson-street, to break fast. Mr. O'CONNELL sat at the head of the room. A few minutes before eleven o'clock, he rose to address the meet ing, and was proceeding to comment upon the conduct of the Marquis of Anglesea, when Alderman Darley, Mr. J. C. Graves (two of the magistrates of the Head Police-office), accompanied by Mr. Farrell (chief constable), entered the room. Alderman DARLEY Said, I hope I do not disturb you, Alt. Mr. O'CONNELL—Not at all, Alderman Darley, I was only explaining ate Act of Parliament. Mr. GRAVES—We do not come here to discuss it. Mr. O ' CoNNELL-I was not addressing myself to you, Sir, but to Alderman Dailey, who always conducts himself like a gentleman. Alderman DARLEY—Mr. O'Connell, you must be aware that I came here in consegiumee of the proclamation, and, as a Magistrate, to direct that the present meeting shall disperse. Mr. O'CoNNELL—Alderman Darley, I think it my duty to apprise you, that this meeting is not connected, nor does any one in it belong to any association, assembly, or so. citty, nor is it connected with any body whatever, men tioned in the proclamation. These things I feel it neces sary to inform you, and you will now proceed at your peril. Alderman DA ittrr —I shall now read for you the form required by the Act, and do that which I am directed under the proclamation. (The Alderman here read the pre scribed form.) Mr. O'COXNELL pulled out his watch, and said, it is now ten minutes after eleven. Mr. GRAVES-13y my watch it is eight minutes. Mr. O'CONNELL here addressed himself to the meetimt, and said—Gentleme❑ this proceeding is totally illegal; but the gentlemen who have come here, and wi:o have dis persed this meeting, are acting as stipendiary Magistrates, under the order of their superiors. The proceeding is at variance with British liberty ; but it has the appearance of law, and I now call upon you to obey even that which has the appearance of law.—(Cheers.)—Now, gentlemen, we will all disperse.—The meeting then dispersed, giving three cheers for a repeal of the Union. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS IN LONGFORD. (Front the Dublin Morning Register.) LONGFORD, THURSDAY NIGHT, TEN o'CLocK.—ln pursuance of the following notice, a copy of which was published in the newspapers, a large number of the inde pendent freeholders of the county assembled, in the connte of the day, in the town of Longford : " County of Longford.—Notice is hereby given that a meeting will be held at Tallon's Hotel, Longford, on the 13th of January, IS3I, to appoint officers and adopt ruler fix• a friendly independent club, some of the objects of which will be to obliterate all differences, and promote good feelings amongst the friends of Ireland ; to encou rage obedience to the laws, and discountenance illegal pro ceedings. The chair to be taken at one o'clock, p. m. In the evening the friends of independence will dine in the club rooms." Tne freeholders asembled to make the necessary arrange ments for holding their meeting, for the very laudable purpose of reconciling past ditTerences and burying in eternal oblivion all religious animosiCes ; and, after accom plishing this good and laudable object, to dine on good substantial fare. Accordingly an excellent dinner, on a splendid scale, was prepared at Tallon's lintel fur upwards of sixty t4entlemen—when, lo ! certain Magistrates of Longford, with a Noble Lord at their h ad, called upon Tallow (alas, poor Talon !) and ordered him, under a pe nalty of one hundred pounds, not to entertain the meeting nu any pretence whatever. Tallon remonstrated, stating the serious loss and injury he should, in consequence, sus tain. 11e was directed to apply for remuneration to Doctor Nicholls and Mr. Disyer (who, by the way, is an Orange man), who were instrumental in calling the meeting, fur the truly benevolent purposes stated in the advertisement. On further remonstrance, their worships, in their kindness and generosity, consented that some few might dine, but on no account should they utter a sentence during the re pa4—that they should be as mute as fishes —that not one word on any political matter whatever should escape their lips—but, above all, if a word were uttered about the re peal of the Union, all sorts of pains arid penalties should he enforced—that a posse of the police should be in at tendance to watch the mouths of every man, lest a word should escape him; consequently, no man would venture to dine at Tallon's on this day, and the loss he sustained was considerable. It was a day of public business in the t3NVII, the (palter sessions were bolting, and no man would venture into the hotel of 'Fallon. Description falls short of any thing that could he said regarding the high state of excitement and indignatw❑ of the public, at this most unwarrantable stretch of power. Happily the people departed peaceably from the town, and it was owing to that spirit of obedience and fixed deter mination on the part of the people to remain tranquil, and perpetually put their enemies in the wrong, that no out • rage was committed. The people, thank Heaven, ate peaceable, and arc determined to remain so. I have witnessed a gratifying specimen of reconciliation between Orangemen and Catholics, this night, ii. Long ford. I have seen those whom I have known, of my own knowledge, to be the most bigotted Orangemen, grasp the band of their Catholic townsman in the most cordial friendship, and drink the health of Daniel O'Connell. DUBLIN. ARREST OF MR. STEELE. (From the Morning Herald.) This morning (Friday), about ten o'clock, Mr. Stee't• tr,s arrested in College-green, by Peace•o!ficer Hartley, of the j u strae warrantof Police,fro m Al d erman c!ia rgin i r i c ri s e s r: .i t t .k h h Dll : e v ar i ld n e-Y 7 C u7 h t i e e r f e u d ilea a rg nd published a libel, intitled " The.

After some delay, Jib Reynolds, of the Merchants'-qua), and Mr. F,eney, !, berdasher, of Castle-street, offered to become his bail, but the latter individual was rejected, on telusing to swear to his qualifications.

The Papers will give an aucount of the manner in which the Marquis of Anglesea wa■ received at, the Theatre. I was in various parts of the house, and I have no hesitation in declaring that those who applauded I,itn were twenty to one against the Cowie/Hies. I have kept this open to the last moment, t , learn the tonne O'Connell will adopt, but as yet he has puld.shed nothing. 1W THE LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND C N" GOVERNOR OF IRILAND. A PROCLAMATION.

Given at his 31ajcsty'i Castle of Dublin, this 13th dny of January, 1831. By his Excellency's command, E. G. STANLEY. ELECTION of a MEMBER of PARLIAMENT FOR THE FORFAR DISTRICT OF BURGHS. (From the Edinburgh _Evening Courant of Sou - day., This election, which has excited a more deep and gene ral interest thAn any similar contest which we remem ber, took place at Forfar en Thursday. From the great popularity enjoyed in the town of Forfar by the n, ble family of Airly, the inhabitants felt a lively int rest in the success of Captain Ogilvy. As the day of election drew near, the interest in the result became more intense. The populace began as early as Tuesday to give indicatirns of tumultuous proceedings, and it was then also stated, that an attempt would be made to prevent the delegate fr om Dundee teaching Forfar. With a view to the preserva tion of order, the Magistrites issued a proclamation, and concluded with expressing a hope that no force or ill tat would be offered to any person comine forward to the election. This proclamation tended to counteract the dis position of the people to violence; but still crowds pa raded the streets shouting " Airly for ever—Hurrah fur Ogilvy,"--and " Down with Jeffrey." Even the chil dren iu the streets were taught to utter the popular accla mations. Thursdiy morning the town was quiet till within a very short tone of the hour of meeting, el.-von o'eleck, when a crowd began to besiege the County Hall, and tile Lord Advocate and his friends were rather roughly treated in m eking their way across the stre,t, but no greater violence was used than hustling. On entering the court•room, where Captain Ogilvy, and his Counsel, Messrs. Robertson and Forsyth, and Mr. Danel Fisher, already were, The Loan ADVOCATE said-1 should like to know where the Sheriff-sub-titute is. Your troops are not moil ; there is a band of men at the doors who bran dished sticks over our heads as we entered ; a thing I have never before seen on any similar occasion. Mr. Ron. 111‘kv.Nzux next entered hurriedly, and in quired—" Is the delegate for Dundee here? " and being: answered in the affirmative, he rejoined, "then all is sate." Mr. P.a.rnicK ROBERTSON—Has any person hurt your Lordship ? LORD ADVOCATE..-NO, I am not hurt, but I have been subjected to a good deal of rubbing ; and I feel a sort of horror at mixing up my authority as an officer of the Crown, with my priva'e pretensions as a candirlaJe ; yet I cannot pass over such proceedirns, coining under mitre own eyes. There surely has been a great neglect on the part of the local authorities. I did not see a single person in the character of a constable, to preserve order. Mr. FORSYTH—The people are excited, and noisy ebul litions of feeling constitute the whole disturbance. LORD ADVOCATE..--I do not mind roaring ; they may use their lungs as much as they please ; but brandishing sticks is more serious. I have just called on the Sheriff, Mr. L'Amy, who is unfortunately so ill as to require to be bled this morning. I hope it will he the only blood spilt on the oecasion.—(Laughter.)_ Mr. MAcKeNziE—The people are paradisg the stroets with flags and music. LORDADVOCATY-I don't wire for that ; I wish the people to enjoy all their rights, and have no objection to their expressing their feelings. They way cry " Airy for ever," and Down with the Lord Advoiate." Mr. P. RwarnTsoN—Provided they do not knock biro down.—(Laughter.) Sir F. V. DRUMMOND—You hail better send for Mr. Robertson, the Sheriff-snlretitute. Mr. Hunter, the acting Town Clerk, was now observed from the window, of the Court Room, c 'ming to the Court, surrounded by an immense number of young lad., having on his right and left Provost Smith and D. Fi-her, Esq., who had left the room to go and protect hint from the mob. Mr. IL MacxxsztE said, I saw a man strike Mr. Hunter with a stick—That is too bad. Mr. CARNABY—It is nut a tithe sa bad as the manner in which we were treated in Cupar. Mr. Hunter having reached the Court-room, the Inisi ness of the election was pry ceeded in. The necessary preliminaries having been gone through, the delegates for Perth, Dundee, and St. Andrews,' voted fur the Lord Ad vocate; and those for Forfar and Cupar, for Capt. Ogilvy. The Lord Advocate was thereafter declared duly elected ; and as Forfar was the returning burgh, and k,,d the cast ing vote, if Dundee was out of the way, Captain O g ilvy also claimed the cle;lion. The Loan AnvocATE then addressed those present, as did Mr. ROBERTSON on the part of Captain 04ilvc. At the close of the election, the root► still showed a disposition to insult the Lord Advocate and his friends as they left the Hall, and trout a fear of what might follow, his Lordship sent off an express to Perth, about seven o'clock, for a party of Dragoons, who arrived at Forfar shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning, a t whicli boor baldly an individual was to be seen in tic stre,ts, ❑ight having passed without the slightest distill halo, Lord Mlle addressed the crowd in the cowse of the even ing, on the necessit) of preserving order, and they after dispersed.
