Siir Jo STEWART - observed - that gre at i ncon . venence might possibly result from making any great alteration in the terms of Freehold Leases in that Country. In the North of Ireland, almost every weaver possessed a freehold, and it might, in future, such re, h e of the utmost imp ortance to t h e i nterests et a descriptio n of Freeholders, if any material alteration, was made in the nature of their tenure.: C°l"uel BAGWELL described an instance of the present mode of qualification for Freeholders, which Appeared to him to be_extremely improper. Twenty or thirty persons were gathered round a table, not one.tliird of them, in many instances, understood a `:`'`i 0 1 English ;an oath was read to them in l tsh, and that in 10 complicated a form, as t h at i t, Wou ld require some deliberation, as we ll as a to lerable knowledge of the struCture of the English langua ge, to completely understand it. When that was dune, the Clerk, knowing that every one of them could not understand the pliiin English Words, Kiss the Book, says to them, " Foos" en licur," that is, in English, " Kiss th td the b oo k accordin l e Book."

Yesterday a Court of Diretlors was held at the East India House, when Capt. S. HAwE, o f t h e Motakch, took leave previous to departing for Ben. gal dire&. The Court adjourned at six o'clock, till Wednesday next. Lieutenant-Colonel CRICHTON, and thirteen Gen. tlemen of the zd Regiment of Edinburgh Volunteers, arrived at York on Saturday last, from Edinburgh, in a new-invented machine for transporting troops, with Their arms, &c. having performed the journey of zoo miles in 29 hours and a half., The experi., meet was made by desire of Lord MOIRA. On Monday last the Chatham Dock-yard Regi .‘ ment, under the command of Colonel HOP E, assem bled on the Parade at twelve o'clock; when the Colours which belonged to the former Regiment, when embodied in the year 1755, were restored ; after which ceremony the Regiment marched to their exercising field, and fired three vollies in ho. . nour of .HIS MAJESTY'S Birth-day.

His MAJENTT has been pleased to confer the dig nity; of 4 Baronet of the United Kingdom, upon JOHN LEES, Eicp Secretary to the General Post Office, Ireland. Mr. HESE LTINE, the King's Proctor, died on Tuesday last. This Gentleman raised himself in life wholly by his own abilities, industry and rec titude. He was a very amiable chary ter in private life, and always ready and aCtive in giving support to any measure calculated to promote the objects of benevolence. He was a strennoui Member of the Society of Free Masons, and upon several occasions exerted a force of eloquence in behalf of the Institu-• tion, that, from all reports, would have been highly creditable to the British Senate. We are much inclined r , .) believe, that the da mage which Admiral LINOIi boasts of having done to British Settlements on the Coast of Sumatra, is very much exaggerated. It is evident that Fort Marlborough was not even attacked. Sillebar, where Lirstots pretends that he has destroyed such quantities of pepper, &c. is a small defenceless place, about ten miles from that Fort ; and there, certain. ly, some mischief may have been done; but it is probable that the must valuable stores and mer chandize were at Furt Marlborough. A man and woman were last week apprehended at Manchester, upon whom were found 751. of base money, chiefly shillings and sixpences.

" That the Memorialist was reguiarly engaged to serve lames Munson, farmer, in W llyntie. for tile half year com mencing at Whitsunday last, at Six Guineas of fee ; and the Memorialist accordingly entered home to Mr. Nlorison's ser vice, in terms of his agreement at that term. " That some time thereafter the Memorialist enrolled him self a Volunteer in the said company, without having previ ously obtained the consent of nis said master tor doing so, and continued to attend punctually at drill with the company, after his ordinary work was finished, in the evenings, until the 13th October last, when, to his great surpliae, :sir. Mori son discharged him from his service, because the Memorialist had gone to Cullen on the day preceding, without his master's permission, to attend in his place, at the inspecti. , n of the company, by Major-General the Marquis of Huntly ; and that, although the Memorialist before he set out to join his company, and also when he was dismissed AS aforesaid, offered to make ample recompense to Mr. Morison, in work or in money, for the loss of his labour during his necessary absence on duty in His Majesty's service, at the inspection of said battalion. Qua'.—Will the Memorialist, under the above-mention ed circumstances, be well founded in an aelion against Mr. Morison, of his said stipulated tee, and for wages besides, since the said 13th day of OCtober, when he was dismissed from his service as aforesaid, until Martinmas last : or would Counsel rather advise the Memoraiist to restrict his claim against Mr. Morison to payment of his work from the said term of Whitsunday last to the said 13th October ?

" I return you the Memorial, with my Opinion; and in the circumstances of this case I decline taking any fee, which I also return to you. The case in the Memorial is one of those for which, unfortunately, no provision is made in any of the Volunteer Ace, and therefore, of course, a person •who neglects his toaster's work on account of attending drills or. reviews, -is; 'I am afraid, in the same situation with a tervant doing so from any other cause. The con duCt of Monson, however, is most atrocious, and every possible means ought to be taken to stigmatize him, and ro punish, by the scorn and contempt of all the respecta ble men in the country, who ought to enter into a resolution to have no communication or dealings with him whatever. And farther, as I consider that fvlorison's conduct can only have arisen from a secret spirit of disafreCtion and disloyalty, it is my orders to you, as Sheriff's Substitute of the County, that on the first Frenchman landing in Scotland, you do im mediately apprehend and secure Morison as a suspected person, and you will not liberate him without a communica tion with me ' • and you may inform him of these my orders.

Earl STANHOPE has invented, and after much labour brought to perfection, a contrivance applica ble to any musical machine played on by the finger ; as an Organ, Harpsichord, or Piano ; by which the music is printed by the mere (yeration of touching the note, so that copies of the music may be multi plied as often as any tune is played over. At a full Meeting of the Loyal Tarbert Corps of Cavalry in Ireland, commanded by Sir EDWARD LESLIE, Bart.Captain-Commandant, they all unani mously offered their service to any part of the King dom when called on ; and for which His Excel lency the Lord Lieutenant was pleased to return them his most gracious thanks. Mrs. MILLS, of Covent Garden Theatre, has been for some time so much indisposed, that she is in no likelihood soon to resume her professional la bours. The new Ballet, founded on the story of The Tempest, which has been long in preparation at the Hay.market Theatre, is not to be strictly confined to that Play, but is to be improved by all that can heighten and diversify the interest of the Piece, taken from the alterations of it by FLETcHEtt, SUCKLING, and DR YD RN. WKOUGHTON certainly resumes the management of Drury. Lane Theatre next season, and it is a trust that could hardly have been submitted to more judicious and experienced hands. BEATTY is the name of the little Irish Roscius, who is now exerting his extraordinary talents in Scotland. .His name alone will doubtless render him acceptable to the natives of that country, as it is endeared to them by the memory of a man distin guished Er genius, worth, and learning. Lord GR ENV I L LE has shown his respeEl for Mr. PITT, notwithstanding their political differences, in dedicating to that upright StatesmA'n some Li...E. ters on the subject of Education, written by the late Lord CH in a style of dignified senti_ ment and moral energy worthy of his high charader. The Earl of B- drove his Curricle to the evening rout of Lady Lou tsA MANNERS, on Mon day last, in Pall-Mall: getting involved in the crowd of carriages, he lost his temper, and dealt his whip very ireely upon a contiguous Coachman. The man bore this Lordly lashing for some time with great patience, but lost his temper in turn, and wielded his 'whip with such dexterity about the angry Peer, that the latter was sorely convinced of the truth of what the Poet says : " A Lord oppos'd against a man, is In: a man." The Ligurian Senate has, it seems, shown its - clemency to an old offender, by changing the in tended punishment of death into imprisonment in irons for fifty Jeans. The Senate perhaps conceives that this offender is as long-lived as an elephant. It is probable, however, that before a tythe of the time has pzssed over him, the Ligurian Senate will be Swept away by another revolutiolzat:y storm. It does not appear whetl.•• the new Emperor of France means to revive the cid Nobility of the French Court, Perhaps, indeed, he may conceive that now France is exalted from a Kingdom into an Empire, the former orders of Noblesse would be too low and vulgar for the Corsican Court. Spoil Nc.—Last week a match was run between Lieut.

LAW REPUI<T. COURT OF KING's BENCH, ruus 2. N ICHULSON ILLAN. Mr. GARROW moved for a Ride to spew Catlce why the verditt in this cause should not be sr'. and a non-suit entered. The cause was tried last week at Guildhall, when a verdia was given I r the Plaintiff for 581. the value of a parcel delivered at the Defendant's Coach-Office at Nottingham, to be sent to London by the Mail-Coach, but which was lost. The usual notice was proved to have been stuck up in'the Office, that the Proprietors will not he accountable for any loss above 51. unless paid for accordingly; but Mr. GAR ow now contended that the Plaintiff could not recover even the 51. as there was no Count in the Declaration applicable to that case.—Rule granted. HILLS v. EXECUTORS OF HILLS. Mr. ERSKINE moved to set aside the nonsuit ob. tained iii this cause. Io the year 1788, the deceased was indebted to his mother, the Plaintiff, in 7001,. and wishing that the Plaintiff, who was an old mati ner, should live at home, he was desirous of paying this stun by way of an annuity during life, of 841. for which purpose a deed was executed in the above, and the annuity continued to he paid till the year 1792. The deed not having been registered in dun tune, according to the ACt of Parliament, the de ceased thought fit to take advantage of this Aa, anti refused any farther payment. An anion was then brought by the present Piaintiffagainst the de_ ceased upon the Annuity Bond, to which he plead ed the Annuity Act, and the Plaintiff thereupon could not proceed. The present adion was then brought as for money 11,1 d and received to the Defendant's use, to which hP pleaded the usual plea, and the Statute of Limitation. Issu', was then taken. He then pleaded a set.cff, and the Plain. tiff, to prevent his set ting_off the sums he had paid, replied the Statute of Limitation to the plea of set-off, and thereupori issue was joined. On the last trial, hiS Lordship (Lord ELLE NBOROC'GH) was of opinion, that the plea of set-off was not a good ple a ; but the Learned Counsel trusted the Court would do every thing in their power to carry this unfortunate Plaintiff out of the Annuity Ad. It the D:fendant had made any declaration tantamount to an acknow. ledgment of the debt within six years of the tits when the aftion was brought, it would take it out of the Statute of Limitations, which; by his plea of the Annuity At the Defendant had done ; he con tended, that the Defendant's plea. of the Statute 6f Limitations could not be sustained,but -the could. The Curt observed, that the Pianriff had re.. ceivedmore payments from the atfendapt than were sufficient to extinguish the whole of the considera tion-money, and the compound interest. Th ere was no gr3und for setting aside the non-suit : it there was an acknowledgment of the debt, it bad long since been discharged. SPOIaING INTELLIGENCE. AS( 0 r HEATH RACES.
