The REPRESENTATION of the NOBLEAIEN, GEN TLEMEN, PROPRIETORS ' and TENANTRY, within the COUNTY of HADDINGTON, connected with the United EAST LOTHIAN AGRICULTURAL . SOCIETY, HUMBLY SHEWE'ill—That your Memorialists approach your LordshiPs, as the regular channel of communication with his Majesty's Government, most respectfully to state the in creasing evils which. so deeply affect them, as proprietors and cultivators of the soil; and humbly to suggest such measures, as, if enacted by Parliament, would, in their opinion, tend materially to alleviate their situation, to afford a more steady protection -to agriculture, - n_od to infuse a spirit of enterprize, calculated to promote the prosperity of the country at large.— Your Memorialists neither wish nor expect a monopoly in the growth of corn, beyond what sound policy requires. They know that their prosperity is intimately connected with the prosperity of the manufacturing and the mercantile part of the community; but they also belieVe, that 'all classes would be. much more benefitted by encouraging the agriculture of our own country, than' by importing corn from abroad.—Your . Memorialists ask only protection _proportioned to the extent of'. public burdens necessarily imposed upon them, and to the dis advantage which they have to contend with more than other countries, in point` of climate. To their skill and industry, and to the security derived from an equal Government, they trust for every other superiority.—This protection they have every reason to believe his Majesty's Government and Parliament intended they should receive, when the 55 Geo. 111., c. 215, was passed into a law and depending upon this law for se curing to them prices for corn somewhat near to the rates at' which the importation of foreign grain is permitted, many of the Memorialists entered into extensive farming concerns, and expended immense sums in improving and enriching the soil.— But the evasion of this Act has cruelly disappointed their hopes, and prevented them from realizing any thing 'like the prices found necessary, after the fullest investigation by Parliament, for protecting Agriculture.—The capital necessary for con ducting farming operations is rapidly diminishing, and the soil is in too many instances either deteriorated or neglected. The failure of this Act your Memorialists consider to be owing, t Firs, To the limited manner in which the average prices for regulating the importation of corn is. taken, and to the incorrect method in which these averages are struck in the twelve mari time districts.. Your Memorialists stated to Parliament last session, the hardships which they conceived had resulted to Agriculture from these causes. By a recent Report from a Select Commit tee of the Commons House of Parliament, on petitions com plaining of Agricultural distress, they find that " there are circumstances arising from the mode of computing the average ruling price, which afford ?great and obvious facilities to fraud, without violating the spirit of the law,"--and, " that the . greatest neglect and inattention have universally prevailed in taking these averages." A striking illustration of the accuracy of these conclusions occurred last August, when the importa tion of oats was unexpectedly allowed, by interested individuals purchasing small quantities of oats at high prices, in some of, the northern districts, owing to whichi more than a million quarters of this article were thrown into the market, which being above the consumption, the price has been reduced much below what will remunerate the rower. By the existinsCorn Laws, the returns for ascertairung . the averages are only re ceived from the Factors or Dealers in grain, to the exclusion of the sellers. These returns are taken from one hundred and thirty-nine towns, comprised within the twelve maritime dis tricts, and are frequently made up from sales of only a few quarters of corn ; each of these returns constitute a distinct re turn in money, and thereby affect the average of the particular district as extensively as the largest and the most regular sale. Your Memorialists conceive that considerable weekly sales must be made in each of these towns, and that it would only be rea sonable that no return should be entered that does not exceed one hundred quarters, and that a penalty of five hundred pounds should be imposed upon every false return, and that the average prices in money should not be taken in every town or district, but that the whole returns of quantities and prices in the twelve maritime districts ought to be calculated and added together, and an average price taken therefrom. Second, That for six weeks preceding the 15th August, when one of the quarterly averages is struck, the quantity of grain on hand is generally small from the nearness of 'harvest, and of course the price is usually higher than at other periods of the season. The condition is also better, and consequently the value is greater : therefore, to afford an equitable protec tion, the period should either be changed, or the rates for this quarter increased ;—an importation immediately after harvest being always most prejudicial to the home grower, as it is then lie takes the largest supply to market. Third ? That as . the law fbr warehousing foreign corn, when not admitted for home consumption, does not contain sufficient provision ,or preventing such corn from being clandestinel-y sold in the home market, your Memorialists trust, thatsuch regulations and penalties will be enacted, and such a duty im posed, however small, upon the corn so warehoused, as to make it an object, of revenue, sufficient to ensure the attention of the proper officers, and to prevent the evasion of the law. • ourth, Your Memorialists have also to submit to your Lordships' consideration, that as the growth of corn is nursed by the breeding and fattening of cattle and sheep, the present very inconsiderable duties upon the importation of tallow and hides should be increased to one-third, or at least to one-fourth of the actual value of these articles. Fifth,—The Memorialists have likewise to complain of local and unexpected hardships. The Malt Duty, which, in conse quence of the acknowledged inferiority of Scotch to English barley, had been lower in the one country than in the other, almost ever since the Union, was unexpectedly raised to within a mere trifle of the English duty, immediately after the rising of Parliament in 1819. This measure has caused a stagnation in the sale of Scotch, and a very extensive importation of Eng lish barley ; and taken in connection with the restricted nature of the intercourse in spirits with England, by which Scotland is ,placed upon a footing so very different from Ireland, that whilst the Irish have an unrestrained toleration to export spirits to Eng land, the manufacture of spirits in Scotland for the English market is regulated in such a manner as in a great measure to exclude the use of Scotch or inferior barley, and to prevent the manufacture of spirits of a good quality ; thereby encouraging foreign or contraband trade, and rendering the distillation for England a complete monopoly, alike hurtful to agriculture and injurious to the public revenue. In conclusion, your Methorialists feel extremely diffident in offering any remarks of a general nature to your Lordships, from the conviction of their inability to advise, and from a firm reliance upon the inclination and the wisdom of his Majesty's Government, to adopt such immediate and energetic measures as the necessity and extent of their sufferings demand ; for it is not the reduction of rent, nor the total abandonment of the pro prietors' right,that will make up the differencebetwixt the present selling prices of grain, and the rates at which the importation of foreign corn is permitted ;. or, in plainer terms, that will reim burse the home grower of corn ,for the expence of cultivation, without the - payment of any rent ; the consequences of such a situation are, fortunately, yet but partially felt; but unless re lief is speedily given, it is obvious that the expenditure of the landlord must be reduced, the manufacturer must remain ure employed, the revenue must be diminished, agriculture itself must languish, and in the course of a few years, a famine may ensue, from the neglect of not administering timely assistance to the great body and bulwark of the nation—the cultivators of the soil. - Your Memorialists have seen a stimulusgiven to our fisheries and to our commerce, by public encouragement and bounties. In how far it may be practicable to apply the fostering aim of Government to their case, they do not pretend to say; but they rely with the utmost confidence upon their statement being taken into serious and dispassionate consideration, and such protection .given as his Majesty's Covernment are enabled to grant, and the extensive nature of - the evils with whi c h th e y have to contend, so eminently demand. - - . • - Signed by me, as President of . this Society, in conformity with the instructions of a. general meeting held at liaddington, - the 22d December, 1820, • TWE4DA LE. , Whitehall Treasury Chambers, March 1021: . • S.

A. further postponement of the -hearing of the amended.peti tion resented in this cause was made for Satuiday, to afford an opportunity of referring to- affidavits filed on the•hearing of a former petition in the same cause. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18. BENSLEY V. BIGNOLD. This was an action for goods sold and delivered, and for work and labour done by the plaintiff, as a printer, for the de. fendant, late Secretary of the Norwich Union Fire and Life Society. - Mr. SCARLETT conducted the plaintiff's case; and Mr. GuItNEY and Mr. CAMPBELL, the defendant's. It was proved on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant employed hiin to print three several editions of a publication entitled, " Elucidation of the System of Fire and Life Insur ance," consisting of one thousand copies ; valued at .1121. ss. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, attempted to spew, that the order for the printing was given on account of the Norwich Society, and not fin the defendant personally, but the evidence being of a different tendency, he submitted in point of law, that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, inasmuch as it appeared, that' the printer's names on the first and last pages of the pamphlet, were " Pinnock and Maunder," instead of the name of the plaintiff himself, contrary to the provisions of the statute 39 Geo : 111. c. 79. s. 27. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the objec. tion was not available, inasmuch as the object of that statute was public and not private, and consequently could not defeat the plaintiff's remedy against the defendant, who had enjoyed . the benefit of his labours. The Jury, therefore, under his Lordship's directions, • found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, ag THURSDAY, APRIL 19. • ' DiSPREe V. 'MITCHELL. This was an. issue directed by the 'lce-Chancellor. The' plaintiff, 'Mr. Despree, who is a banker at Paris, sent, in the year 1804, a quantity of dollars (value about. 250,0001:) to this country : they were consigned to Messrs. Thellusson and Co.,' of London, and . .were duly • received by that firm. Of the bitl lion so consigned Mr. Dcspree now demanded from Mr. Mit chell, the surviving partner of Thellitsson and Co., an ac count. In answer to that claim the defendant pleaded that' Mr. Despree being in 1804 -an alien resident in a country with which England was at war, and the .Messrs. Thellussons British merchants, the whole transaction had been ill ega l : the plaintiff replied, that the property had been imported under. licenses from the English government ; and whether the impor tation had or had not been licensed, was the question to the jury. On the part of the plaintiff the deposition of Mr.. Varcavessa, whO shipped the dollatito this country, was put in. Mr. Var cavessa swore that all the ships had licenses on board. Me moranda were also put in of 'orders in council granting certain licenses for the importation of bullion to Messrs. Thellusson and Co. The evidence of the defendant went to show thanhe licenses .obtained by Messrs. Thellusson and Co. had been intended, and employed, to cover certain importations of bullion from Holland, not the importation of Mr. Despree : it was also proved that the-ships which brought Mr. Despree's dollars had, previously to that service, performed another voyage • and it was contended, that th e licenses granted by the English Go vernment to Messrs. Thellusson and Co., lthough nominally granted for a period of 6 months, were intended only to cover one voyage : the protection had ceased, therefore, before the consignment from Mr. Despree took place. • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE left the question, upon the evi dence, to the Jury, who, without hesitation, found L a rdict for' the plaintiff. FLIGHT AND ANOTHER V. VYE. This was an action by Messrs Flight and Robson, the organ builders, to recover a balance of £156 upon the price of an organ worth £B7O, which they had built for the defendant, a elhgyrnan of Wooton, in Northamptonshire. Mr. DENMAN and Mr. WAI.Fo all were for the plaintiffs; and Sir. CIUIINEY and Mr. A MooitE were for the defendant. After the case had proceeded to some length, it was agreed to refer it to arbitration, the defendant objecting, that the organ was not worth the money which he had agreed to pay for it. The Sittings concluded this day. (in Wednesday the Judges of this Court sat at Westminster, to hear arguments for new trials. - QuAKEns.—An Address of the Quakers to JAMES H. on his accession, preserved i❑ Wanley's Common Place Book, is highly characteristic of that sect. 44 We come to condole the death of our friend Charles ; and we are glad that thou art come to be our ruler.

GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.—The 4th anni versary of this Institution was yesterday cele-. brated at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, by a very excellent dinner. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair. The object of this Institution is to afford permanent assistance,. by granting pensions to decayed artisans and me chanics and their widows, • without distinction of religion or country. A very considerable number of Individuals at present expetience the bounty of the Society, most of whom are nearly 70 years of age.. After the health of the King had_ been . .given from the . Chair, the Queen and the Royal FaMily - . was announced, and drank with great applause. Mr. Williams,. M. P., on, proposing the health of the Duke of Sussex,iook occasion to state that his Royal Highness had signified his intention of becoming the Patron of the SocietY. :..During the course of the evening the company were entertained by the exertions *of several 'vocal performers. The company, which was very numerous, comprii'ed many indi-adttali of distinguished character. [NEW TlmEs.] --• • The advice s - from Turlhey .cont go ain nothing de cisive respecting the insurrection _of the - Greeks; of which so much'has been said. In an article which appears in the Ilainburgh Papers, dated Jassy, the 10th ult., it is asserted that Prince; Ypsilanti had marched forward, with an army of 30;000 pen. Nothing has transpired which can in the slightest degree countenance the favourite, hypothesis of The Morning Chronicle, that the commotion is encouraged, and that the Revolu tioniSts will be supported by Russia: We even . find on the contrary that the Russian officers, ; who have .followed Ypsilanti, have been de prived of their commissions. That the present Government of Moldavia and Wallachia is gun as would be approved of by the rational lover of liberty, it would be absurd to contend, but it is undoubtedly equally absurd to believe that the mania of Constitutions is likely to Operate upon the inhabitants of those principalities. They probably endure so many substantial evils as must prevent them from the exercise of ingenuity in the invention of causes of complaint. The Turkish Empire, with all its crimes and all its despotism, is one of the most remarkable of poli tical phenomena. It cannot fall without a tre - -; mendous struggle ; and the state of the treaties and the interests of the Great Powers of Europe affords .full security that -that struggle is not likely to be brought on at present by any fo reign interference. [MORNISG_ CIIRONICLE.] The silly levity Which The Courier displayed when we first announced: the existence of a general Greek Insurrection, has given way to a very dif ferent tone. We told the Editor of that Paper, that his Patrons conld not- possibly fail to view, the matter in a very sdifferent light from that which he affected to see it in; and accordingly,' hailing no doubt seCeived his instructions, he begins at last to distlose no ,small degree of alarm. But his great alarm is not on account of 'Russia-0 no! it is the'establishmentof an inde pendent Greek Empire which he fears. And Russia, too, is thO. Vatter to whichrhe looks for aid to prevent the occurrence of so dreadful a, calamity ! "Should the Turkish Government be too weak," he says, " to quell .the rebellion; Austria and RuSsia are 'at hand to end the struggle." Austria must, of course, be a most powerful ally to Turkey, 'at a moment like the present, when her troops are scattered over all Italy, where twenty-millions of people are kept from rising merely by their presence. This is a happy -thought. -But then Russia—Russia surely can assist .the P.Orte! How very much the Turks must be disposed to court this assistance. When Turkey throws herself into , the arms of Russia, we shall next expect to hear of lambs Tying for protection to ravenous wolves. Gan that Power' forget . the numerous humiliations, which for a century past it has been constantly receiving•from Russia Has it forgot the many cessions of provinces which RusSia: . unjustly wrung from it ? Perhaps it knows not whO fo mented most of the disturbances to which it' has of late been exposed ? The magnanimous con duct too, of Russia and Austria towards'Poland in her troubles, must afford great encouragement to all Powers similarly circumstanced; to throw themselves on their generosity ! [MORNING, POST.] Some of the arguments urged in favotir of- the Catholic Bill in the House of Lords, were rather curious :—" As it had been passed by the Com mons (said one of the Advocates for the mea sure) would the Lords place themselves in the situation of a perpetual obstacle to the wishes of the Commons " If this argument were valid, it might be asked, why should the House of Lords exist ? Why'should they form one of the Estates of the Realm ? Their privileges • have been long considered as an essential part of the balance, which is the true security of our liber ties ; and the occasion, on which they have now been exercised, illustrates their utility—that of defending the Constitution, when the Commons, from a variety of considerations, are less able to repel encroachments. [BRITISII PRESS.] The German Papers continue to dwell upon their report of an expected visit of the King of England to Hanover in the course of the ensuing summer. We lately stated, that the Princess Augusta proposes to visit her Royal relatives, including her two sisters, the Dowager Queen of Wirtemberg, and the Princess of Hesse Horn bourg; and two brothers; the Dukes of Cam bridge and Cumberland, now resident on the Continent, but that her Royal Highness has, at the desire of the King, deferred her departure till after the Coronation. The report of his Ma jesty's intention to visit Hanover, we believe, arose from this circumstance. [THE tmEs.] There was a disposition at one time to degrade the East India Company under the appellation of 66 Counting-house Kings," and terms of similar import : but whoever considers the manner in which-our vast possessions in the East are go verned, and looks at the .way in which a people who gave themselves up to oar sovereignty with zeal and affection have i'een alienated, will deep ly regret that the lonian Islands were not by some geographical mysticism made an appur tenance to our East India territories. The ef fects of misgovernment here are the more la mentable on . account of the present conditio n of the Mediterranean, among the, nations 'bor.:, dering On which it cannot fail but that .cOn vulsionS must soon take place; and in which quarter consequently au attachment to the Eri lislr name would have been eminently serviceable. We know what is too 4eheraliy said, and indee'd but too justly felt with respect"tO foreign pOSSes , slot's—that they only serve toaggravate :the bur dens s of the mother country ; but we know • also that; under• an incorrupted 7 . overrithent, and a virtuous adininislration of affairs;. cOlonies serveto increase.the wealth and confirm the strength, of the dominant state. , Cromwell; when he added Jamaica to his empire, did not think that be was imparting to it weakness rather than poWer. We confess " our hearts hurt' Within us" when we look to Egypt. .We took it fiorn the the unprincipled Buonapartei 'and re stored it to the Tightful owners ;, btit if thes7e aie unable to retain that hold of it which we gave them, into what bands should it fall but ours, who won it and had it ? Yet if Egypt were ours again to-morrow, instead of adding, as it might, to our dignity and wealth, it would serve only to increase our burdens.— Above , fifty creatures without virtue and with out talents, or at least would not virtues and ta lents Ould not be the cause of their promotion, would 'be to be endowed with high and lucrative offices at the expense of the British people, slip ply because their relatives and friends possessed parliamentarY influence, and sent MeMbers in to the House of Commons. But these things will :not always continue tints; and if no other remedy is applied, the excess of the evil will bring the cure. Under a prudent, economical, paternal Government, and where there are no sinister in terests to 1e maintained by sinister means, there are few foreign possessions that are not able to maintain theniselves,.and to impart to the supreme state all the advantages•of an exclusive conimerce. THE LATE EMPEROR OF .HAYTI.-1 ne follow ing is an Extract of a Letter from Port-au-Prince, dated 10th March :—". You will, no doubt, have been. infOrdied of the disturbances that have broken out at Gonaives. The insurrection was to have been - general through the North at the sane time. ,The vigilance of General MaGx . i' (the Governor of the Cape), and General Ma.ac, at St. Marc's, prevented from taking place, by arresting, all the chief conspirators., General RICHARD and 23 others, who have arrived ,at Port-au-Prince, are under trial, . and will be shot. At Gonaives, the garrison and people of the neighbouring country took possession of the town, and made General -Tttaxtcx and all attach ed to les party fly to the vessels for safety. They, have plundered all the town, of which they still keep possession ; but an overpowering force has been sent against them, and they Will be speedily reduced. To form an idea of the barbarous atroci ties of the most bloody monster (CnnlsropnE) that ever disgraced the human form, you should visit the North as I did.; see the miserable vic tims that escaped from his cells, bear their tales of wo, and view their emaciated and mutilated bodies. I went through his famous Citadel and Palace of Sans Souci. In the former, on the highest bastion, I saw the body of the monster ; it was slightly covered with lime and earth, which I caused to be partially removed ; he had been dead then six weeks. Ilis cells were im provements on the celebrated black-hole of Cal cutta. .Men of the best constitutions lost the use of their limbs in 2-t hours, and it was a miracle if they survived the fourth day. it would take a - ream of paper, and more time than I can af ford, to give you a faint idea of what the unfor tunate people suffered who were under his iron. yoke. The Waste of human lives was incredible; and I hear from the first authority, that Ferrier alone cost 60,000 lives, and at least 30,000 more annually died of hunger - and fatighe at the public works, besides the many thmsands sacrificed in Cold blood, to gratify the thirst which the ruffian had for human blood." SUTHERLAND . TENAN'TRY.-Last year 'the .te nantry of Gruids, ix Sutherland, were served with notices of removal, the legality of which they contended before the Sheriff and superior Courts; we then declined making public a case which they brought us, because we were not sa tisfied of the facts stated, nor of, the advantage which a publication of them would produce:' 'So long as they looked to the laws of their country for redress we could sympathise with their griev ances, real or imaginary, but we regret 'to find that they have proceeded to acts of great vie lence and outrage. Both at Gruids and in the neighbouring district of Struthbrora, the sheriff officers, ivho were employed to serve. summonses Of removal, received so much 'opposition 'and mal treatment thatit has been found necessary to call in military assistance. A party of the 41st regiment, consisting of SO men, under command of a Field Officer, were.dispatcho from Fort George, and arrived on Monday at Golspy, where they were joined the fallowing morning by the Sheriff.; and many respectable country gentlemen, Justices of the Peace, from whence they proceeded to the disturbed districts. Another party of the 41st, which arrived here from Glasgow on Tuesday, were on Wednesday,morning marched to rein force them. .Rumours of some of the tenantry having paid for their rashness With their lives, have been in circulation, but they are not, con firmed, and we believe them unfounded.---hiver ness Journul.i• Two perfect human skeletons were thrown on shore, on Thursday last, at Exmouth; . during violent gale of wind.
