The resoluti oas adopted by the "Council of National Safety," in Ireland, were yesterday sub mitted totheFirst Lord of th e T reasu ry by a depu tation of Irish possibl e f or the rePr6sentatives. It was of course im possible series comprising premier to gi ve an i mme di ate rep l y t o how ever Much information, :1 so many diff eren t su bj ec t s . , applic a bl e t o th e severa l points was contained Lord of the preceding in the speech of the Noble alluded.

The result of the inquiries wie t h 'e ha instituted appears to be—that twenty-two have been ir ill not be able, out of their own resources, to sup ply, ply the wants of the distressed population, which amount to over 100,000 persons, or about one-sixth of the population of the entire country We may assume that the localities which so ur gently require assistance are those mentioned by Sir JOHN BURGOYNE, in his letter, which appeared in The Sun, about the middle of last month, being the districts lying along the western coast, from ill-fated Skibbereen to the Giant's Causeway. The means already at tile disposal of the Government will be applied for the relief of the distress and destitution in these impoverished districts ; and it is conceived that , . 4, ' % • • ..... r,.1.- 4-79 . ..• --".. ... - 4 . ie - / ,gy p ;.;-1 1 c^, L s,'-Voll , -,:44 ~ •• '. .....

' —7.o..Lekli. —f" ~.-*.% THE S 600,000 persons may be supported thereby, together with what can be obtained under the Poor Relief Act, and assistance from other quarters, for a period of four months, after -41 tilhich time any further steps necessary for the maintenance of the people will be taken. At present the Executive have made ar rangements for supplying the wants of the people wherever the peer-4w is likely I. PIOT. ineffeetive. The resaainster ►f the coasky is to be left to its own resources, to the exertions of the owners and occupiers of the soil. They have the ability—if they choose to avail them. selves of the opportunities within their power—of giving profitable employment to the labouring classes, and thus enabling them to live by their own honest industry, in place of becoming pauperised, and look ing to others for that bread which should be earned by the sweat of their brows. The first great lesson to be taught the Irish people is a spirit of self•reliance, that will lead all classes to exert themselves earnestly and energetically in their respective stations, to avoid the reproach of national mendicancy. The Irish Members themselves are fully sensible of the demo ralisation that necessarily attends gratuitous re lief. In any nation it is very objectionable, but in Ireland it is peculiarly so. The people are satisfied with the humblest fare—a scanty supply of the coarsest food is looked upon as sufficient to dispense with the necessity of any exertion what soever, the lands are left uncropped, the fisheries neglected ; while those who might add to the na tional wealth are fed at the expense of the nation. Some weeks since we directed the public attention to an address of the North Wexford Landlord and Tenant Association to the landed proprietors and occupiers of that county. That address should be circulated throughout all parts of the island, for it points out the means by which the present emergency can be successfully encountered, the national diffi culties overcome, and prosperity and independence restored to the people. It is by a cordial co-operation of all classes, and a zealous determination by every person fully and fairly to perform the duties inci dental to his position, without any attempt at shirking or evasion, that the country can alone be pre • served. " The employment of the people in the improvement and cultivation of the soil is the only resource left for saving the na tion from anarchy, confusion, and ruin ;"—so say the North Wexford Association, and every unprejudiced person must concur in the opinion. The people must be maintained ; they have now the first legal claim on the produce of the several estates prior to that of the clergy, mortgagees, or nominal owners—they must be supported under any circum stances, and it must be obvious that " to support them in idleness while the land lies sterile and un productive, if permitted to continue, must overwhelm the country with a burden it is utterly unable to bear." The Association also stated, " that a full and saving measure of employment could easily and speedily be effected, by a combined and comprehen sive movement on the part of the landed proprietors, if they would come forward, and by their improve ments and cultivation develop the natural, resources of their respective estates, and thereby give the labour ing population the means of supporting their families, out of the poor-house." In doing so, every facility will be afforded. The nation will gladly aid tht se anxious to help themselves. Loans to the amount of a million and a half pounds sterling have already been applied for by the Irish landlords, under the " Landed Property Improvement Act," of which several have already been conceded to tha extent of 00,000/. sterling, and it is to be hoped that the remain der of that allcated by the Legislature to the same purpose will speedily be made applicable, and by the power thereby conferred on the 'landlords there will be full means of giving useful employ ment to all ; more especially if the parties liable to the payment of the poor-rates would, by a voluntary arrangement amongst themselves, agree to give em ployment to the idle labourers in proportion to the extent and value of their respective holdings. We are grieved to find his Lordship speaking of " the necessity for partial measures of coercion.' We shall ,however abstain from comment until the nature an c extent of the proposed measures are i brouglit forward and fully before the public. It is at least satisfactory to find that it is not by coercion alone that Ireland is to be governed, but that the con templated enactments are " to be accompanied by measures of a remedial character, calculated to ame liorate the condition of the people, and to restore se curity to life and property." Peace and tranquillity can never he restored to Ireland until the causes that have led to the disturbances are removed, until the relationship between landlord and tenant is placed upon a better foundation, and more equitable laws than those at present in force, are brought into operation. We cannot feel much amazement that the Protec tionists should, through their Parliamentary leaders, declare that our present embarrassments have origi nated—exclusively and immediately originated—in the operations of Free Trade. The opportunity is too seductive to be overlooked, out of mere sentiments of justice and truthfulness. Monopoly is hors de combat, Conservatism is paralysed. Toryism is defunct. The prestige of the good old class of politicians who were predominant in the good old times is vanishing. The anti-popular faction is used up, and doomed to obli vion. something must be done, if possible, to re trieve their position think Lord STANLEr and Lord GEORGE BIINTINCI. ; some show of life must be made— even though it be as distorting and evanescent as the galvanic convulsions of a corpse; some signs of vigour must be made—even though they resemble the momentary and ghastly spasms of dissolution. The necessity requires no enforcement with the fol lowers of these noble statesmen ; they are driven to acts of audacity by the very desperation. , of their cause, and by the perils of their most untenable posi tion. At this crisis in their destiny an oppor tunity presents itself for striking a last blow at their adversaries, and, in the act of striking that blow, of raising themselves again to power and distinction. This opportunity is—the panic which has seized upon the community. Here is a theme for vituperation ! Here is a, handle for sarcasm against the politico - economic system contrived by such imbeciles and visionaries as ADAM SMITH, as WILLIAM HUG. X.ISSON, as RICHARD COADAN, as SIR ROI3ART PEAL, aid as Lord Joula RUSSELL 1 What is honesty when contrasted with the chance of such a bitter, though ephemeral revenge ? What are truth, and candour, and straightforwardness when weighed against this golden opportunity ? Nothing. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK yields himself up to the sugges tions of this desperate fantasy. There is the fact of our embarrassments, and there is the fact that those embarrassments have been immediately preceded by the free-trade enactments. The inference deduced from these facts by the ingenious statistic's of the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn are exquisitely specious and deliciously calculated to gratify the spleen of his sup porters. All these national afflictions are attributed to the malign and destructive operation of free trade. The money market is involved ir. anxieties ; it is free trade. The capitalists are stopping payment, and coming down with a crash, one after another ; it is free trade. There is little food, and less employ- ments, in the manufacturing districts ; it is free trade. Enough cotton is not imported from Ame• rica ; 'it is free trade. Cotton won't come at all from Ilindostan ; it is free trade. Free trade is, in fact, the JOHN JONES of the farce; the Little Piciu.E— or, rather the Big PICKLE —of the vaudeville. Always doing wrong; always plunging into difficulties ; in every body's way; blowing hot when it should blow cold, and blowing cold when it should blow hot. Free trade is held up to the execration of the people as their bugbear ; as the cause h cause of a ll th e i r a ffli ct i ons; as the false step which has carried them over the edge of the preci• pice, and is now hurling them down into the abyss of picture of free t p r t s e c y le . national bankru ptc y. In drawing this malignant , th but . one in itsaerlf.G3°' however, a little too f stroyed its effect by felicitous aGm has just gone, The motion was a anything he has i ndignation. he has _ de- He has If he has provede intensity of his proved too much—for his own arg u m e nt. raised his voice so i loudly that i l .hitherto Z . : con centrated upon himself and his party thaa, scru tiny of the public, a scrutiny verted in another direction by the i mmftienee o f a ff a irs ; and under that scrutiny the ex- LONDON, travagance of the principles of the Protetionists cannot fail to be more than ever recognised. He has adventured upon such a variety of topics in his attack that he displays beyond all denial the super ficial character of his information. He has spread his statistics out over such a wide surface that he has betrayed their excessive shallowness, and laid himself open to the overwhelming rebuttal if Lis aniaganista. Never did Oppo sition leader make a more Quixotic charge, or receive a more Quixotic castigation. The walls of the Commons were still reverberating his denuncia tions against free trade, when Lord Joist( 'Winn". showed in half-a-dozen homely sentences their utter insufficiency and absurdity. Among other things, the Prime Minister asks the leader of the Protec tionists to explain whether he would have a duty of 20s. or 30s. imposed on wheat when wheat is at 110 s. the quarter ? Among other things, he reminds the House that while the exports from Liverpool of British manufactured goods to the United States were to the amount of 4,529,586/., for the three quarters ending October, 1846, they had amounted during the cor responding three quarters of 1847, to no less than 6,791,000/., showing an increase to the extent of just fifty pp cent. upon the exports of British manufac tured goods from Liverpool to the United States. Such were the declarations extorted from the Premier by the foolhardy aspersions upon free trade uttered by Lord GEORGE BENTINCIC The golden oppor tunity, in fine, which Lord STANLEY and his colleague in the Lower House have grasped at with such avidity, „ has proved to be merely what the straw is to the drowning man —an illusion and a mockery. Instead of leading to the revival it must tend to the yet further abasement of the stubborn supporters of that most stubborn fal lacy—Protection. The Duke of MODENA has declarred Massa Carrara in a state of siege, and has ordered his troops to fire on any assemblage consisting of more than two peraons. The Archbishop of Turin, Cardinal FRANZONI, had forbidden the clergy of his diocese to take part in any demonstration in favour of the reform granted by King CHARLES ALBERT. His Majesty CHARLES ALBERT has granted to the Duke of TUSCANY permission to march troops des tined to occupy Pontremoli over the Genoese terri tory ; they are to land at the bottom of the Gulf of Spezzia. The Italian journals look on this fact as the first ,political act of the Italian Confederation, proclaimed in principle in the Customs' Union Treaty. Extract of a letter from Naples, Nov. 15 :—" I have just heard that his bIAJESTT has changed his Ministers, and that it will be published in the Gazette of this evening. Everything is perfectly tranquil here, and the weather beautifully mild ; we have some strangers, but not so many as in former autumns." The Bilancia of Rome states that Count Cuurs- TOPH;It FERRETTI had been commissioned to termi nate the difference respecting Ferrara with General RIDITZYT, at Milan. Letters from Rome of the 16th state that the Council of State waa inaugurated on the preced ing day. The Provisional Government of Friburg has issued the following decree : " Being obliged by circumstances to adopt the most urgent measures to arrest the course of the evils which overwhelm the country, and prevent their recurrence ; " Whereas the accession of the canton of Friburg to the anti-national league called the Sonderbund was prin cipally the work of tt:e Jesuits and their associates ; " Ia virtue of the decree of the Federal Diet, dated 3d September, 1847, which declared the Society of Jesuits to be incompatible with order and tranquillity in Swit serlAnd, and invited the canton of Friburg to expel them from its territory; " Wishing to secure to the civil authorities the liberty of action necessary for the lasting pacification of the canton, and being invested with extensive powers con ferred on them by the resolution of the popular assembly held on the 15th November last ; " We have decreed : " 1. The Jesuits, corporations, congregations, teachers, and professors affiliated to that order, are banished for ever from the Friburg territory. " 2. This mere applies to the Jesuits, the Liguo rians, the Slarianites, or Fnires igno: ; the Brethren of the Christian Doctrine, the Sinters of SL Joseph. the Sisters of St. Vincent of Paule, and the Nuns of the Holy Heart. " 3. Congregations and corporations of that descrip tion shall nut in future be permitted to settle in the can ton under any denomination or pretext whatsoever, to purchase property in it, or to direct public or private establishments for the education of youth. "4. The individuals belonging to those orders and congregations shall quit the canton within the space of thrice twenty-four hours from the publication of the present decree. " 5. All the property, moveable or real, possessed by the abovementioned corporations, is to become the pro perty of the State, and its proceeds to be applied to public instruction, To that effect it is to be sequestered, and, after an inventory of it shall have been taken, it shall be placed under the civil administration. The cession or sales of any part of said property as far back as the 15th of October are declared null and void. " 6. The directors of the departments of the police and finance are respectively charged with the execution of the present decree. "7. The present decree becomes obligatory imme diately on its promulgation, and shall be published and posted up in the usual places. "The President SCHALLER. "The Chancellor Dr. BERCIITOLD. " Friburg, Nov. 19." The state of siege was raised the same day. A letter from Berne of the 20th says— " It appears that the Commander-in-Chief will act, with regard to Lucerne, just as she has proceeded against Friburg ; that is to say, the Federal troops will successively take possession of all the points that lie in the march, and then invest Lucerne until it capitulates. A letter from Upper Emmenthal of the 18th says— ' Yesterday the Lucernese attempted to make a sortie upon the Bernese territory at Uffiuson, between Willi eau in Lucerne, and Hartwyl in Berne. To accomplish this they cleared the road of all the wood they had strown upon it, in order to impede the march of the Federal troops ; filled up the trenches they had cut across the road, and demolished their redoubts, in order to gain a more easy entrance into the canton of Berne. But General Dufour promptly sent troops to the threatened point, and the Lucernese immediately beat a retreat. The leaders of some of the columns on entering the canton of Lucerne re solved that they would, when their troops should have to pass over the mines made by the Lucernese, send for ward all the women and children who remained in the villages, and thus secure, as it were, a safe conduct through these dangerous passages. Rather unsatisfac tory news has arrived by estatette from Tesino. While the canto❑ of Vaud keeps the Valais blockaded, so that the force of this canton is paralysed, the Commander-in- Chief of the Valaisian troops has conceived that a large portion of them might be usefully employed in the pri mitive cantons. Consequently, from the beginning of this month four or five battalions hare passed the Furka, one of the mass of the St. Gothard mountains, in order to reach and enter the canton of Uri ; whence these troops were moved in the direction of the canton of Tesino, to reinforce the troops which already occupied the St. Gothard. This unexpected reinforcement, which made the force of the League at this point amount to nearly 4,000 men, allowed of their assuming the offen sive with great vigour. On the 17th, after a murderous action, they carried Airolo, where the Casellini battalion and a company of carabineers were all that were posted to meet this attack, which was at the same time favoured by a fog. This small body was obliged to fall back on Faido, distant three leagues, and thence probably on Bellinzone, where Colonel Luvini has concentrated all his forces, viz., four battalions .of infantry, four com panies of carabineers, and one battery and a half of artillery, in the intent, as he writes, of bringing on a decisive battle." jAccording to advices from Aarau, the General-in- Chief of the Federal troops had ordered two bat talions of the division of Gmur to advance, by forced marches, to Ticino, across the canton of the Grisons. It was expected that they would arrive in time to cut off the retreat of the column of the League. Accounts had reached Berne late in the evening of the 21st instant that the Grand Council of Lucerne had determined, by a majority of only three votes, to persist in resisting, by force of arms, the execution of the decrees of the Diet. A loud cannonade had been distinctly heard at Berne, in the direction of the Em menthal, where, it appears, the bridge of Gisiknou WAS attacked by the Federal troops. The military operations against Lucerne were not expected to I commence before the 23d. By a royal decree of the King of Pcussil, all affairs relating to the principality of Neufchatel are in future to come under the head of the " Home De partment." This decree is a mark of the Mica's approbation of the conduct of the authorities of Neuf chatel in the affairs of the Sonderbund. According to the Frankfort Gazette, it is to the firm decision of Prussia alone that an armed inter vention of the great Powers has not already taken place in Switzerland. A Berne journal of the 21st announces that the troop s th e o f Zug ant and no f Zurich, t i z axl a d made bai n a d n r incursion yen ba c back with some loss. A report was current that Zug had offered to capitulate, but it did not rest upon any authority worthy of credit. Madrid papers of the 18th have arrived. The Eeo del Comereio announces that the Union Bank has resumed its payments. A Bill was pre sented on the 17th to the Chamber of Deputies, authorising the Government to continue to levy taxes to the end of December, and another to take measures for the preservation of public order. The latter pro poses to give it power to prevent any political meet ing without its authorisation, and to adopt military and other measures of some severity to put down sedition. A royal decree has been issued prohibiting the importation of mixed woollen and cotton fabrics where the proportion of the cotton exceeds a third part. Senor Escosoa♦ has taken his seat in the Cortes among the Progressista Deputies. On the 18th Senor SALAMANCA made a communi cation to the Chamber of Deputies, in which he stated that, having received the grand cordon of the Order of Charles 111., he was liable to re-election, but he begged that this might not be regarded until he should have cleared himself from the accusations which have been brought against him. The QueeN's troops have taken 200 Carlists pri soners at Ilorta y Alfara ; they constituted the band Of CSNDROS. MADRID Boma, Nov. 18.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26k, at 50 days ; the Five per Cents., at 15, for paper ; the Debt without Interest, at 4i ; and the Coupons, at 10i, We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. It is considered as certain that a Congress of the representatives of the five great Powers will be held to consider the affairs of Switzerland. "We have no doubt," says the Commerce, " that such a Con gress will unite all the conditions of impartial justice, that it will not be an intervention of brutal force, with some forms of right proper to conceal its real nature. Europe would feel repugnance to give, in 1847, the spectacle of five great Powers coalescing to crush a nation unable to resist them by force of arms, but which would summon them before the great tri bunal of history, where all oppressors, sooner sr later, receive a just reprobation. 'We, therefore, await with confidence this Congress, at which France and Eng land, two constitutional countries, will be present. Lord PALMERSTON has declared, it is said, that he would not permit an armed intervention in Switzer land. M. GuizoT regrets without doubt, at present, his conduct towards the Sonderbund, and his sending arms, which has only ended in defeat. Let, therefore, an intervention of a friendly character endeavour to reconcile eitiaens led astray by party spirit and by the ambiguities of an insufficient compact, and the twenty-two cantons may still hope for the establish ment of a regime, under which all good liberties will find guarantees, and will not be any longer a danger for federal unity, and for the central power of the Diet." The representatives of Groat Britain, Austria, and Prussia held a. conference with M. Guizor on Tues day; after which a courier was dispatched to Switzer land with, it is said, an offer of mediation, and an injunction to both parties to suspend hostilities. The Reform banquets continue to be held in every part of France, to the great annoyance of the-Mi nistry. M. NAPOLEON DcrcuATEL has been appointed Ambassador to Turin. M. PISCATORT, the French Minister at Athens, is appointed Ambassador to Madrid; and M. DE BACOUILT, who was very desirous of going to Spain, is to succeed the late Count MUSSON at Naples. The report to which we alluded yesterday, that the Queen of SPAIN is enceinte, is confirmed. The fact has been communicated to the French Government and accepted by them. The Prince DE JOINVILLE has resigned the com mand of th Mediterranean squadron. The cause assigned is indisposition. Orders have been sent to Toulon to fit out imme diately the ships-of-the-line Jernappes and Hercule, They have taken on board four months: provisions each. The Constitutiontwl says— " Al l the journals announce that M. Magne, deputy, is nominated to the direction of affairs of Algeria, in the room of Lieutenant-General Delarue. It has been lung in contemplatiori to place M. Magne in the War Department, but as Under-Secretary of State, in the room of M. Martineau Descheneta. In this capacity M. Magne would ha►e especially the direction of the affairs of Algeria. This arrangement has not yet been realised." Some uneasiness has been occasioned in Paris in consequence of the recent rise in the price of provi sions. The Conservateur attributes it to the holding back of the corn by the farmers, and does not con sider the rise either durable or disquieting.

EVkNING, NOVEMBER 26. 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QVANTEI? The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales, 3,000 bales. There was an improvement in the Rally% ay Share Market. It ;s with regret that we find we did an injustice to the firm of Messrs. Whitmore and Son, of the Stock Exch.rige, in stating that they had been declared as defau:ters. The party who was sanomuced as unable to meet his engagements was Mr. Henry Whitmore. We trust that the highly respectable firm first named will accept this full and entire con tradiction of the mischievous and unfounded assertion referred to. A great variety of letters and papers have come to hand to-day from almost all the porta of New Holland, and to late dates. Perhaps the most important item of intelligence is the fact that Sir G. Gipps, the Governor, had d'rected to be forwarded to the auth,rities at Port Philip that the Home Gov(rement had all but arranged the plans for de clarieg that vast territory as a separate colony. This would indeed be a great boon ; and certainly from the rising prosperity of Port Philip a right course to pur sue. The papers from most of the colonies speak of a lack of labourers, and it would appear that a fine opportunity is open for artisans and their families to proceed in that direction from this country. The produce of the mines in South- Australia was yielding most abundantly. In the Stock Exchange this is pay day, and four or five additional defaulters have been declared. The differences upon balances were very heavy. Consols for the Account have fluctuated this morning, 851 and 85i. For Money some sales have been etlected at 841 to 84j. The value of both is now rather better. There has been scarcely any movement in the Exchequer-bill Market, 2s. discount and par being the quotations for the 1,000/. obligation. East India Bonds are at 255. discount; Bank Stock remains at about 187 189. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have varied from 841 to 85k, the latter having been the opening quotation. There has been a very quiet market for the Foreign Investments. A further improvement has taken place in French Five per Cents, to 115 f. 50c. Spanish Five per Cents. have fetched 17k; Mexican, 131 16; Chilian, 90; Brazilian, 78; the Spanish Three per Cents., 29; and the Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., 54k. The Share Market has been heavy this morning. ONE CLOSING PRIcES OF lIKITISLI FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock lB7 189 189 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns.. 831 4 3,4 83% 3 per Cent.

To• day, the show of samples was small; yet, owing to the absence of the principal millers, the demand for all kinds was in a very dell state, at, in some few instances, a slight decline in t he quotations. Upward s of 11,000 quarters of For e i gn Wheat hive come to hand this week. Although the actual quantity on offer was not large, buyers held off, and the market closed heavily, at barely stationary prices. The Barley trade was again extremely dull, and grinding and distilling sorts night have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. In Malt—the supply of which was small —next to nothing was doing, and the rates were with difficulty supported. Oats were very dull, and 6d per quarter cheaper. All other articles moved off slowly, at unaltered currencies. Oats. I Flour. 1,150 vs. 1 1,410 ski. 3,630 I --- 1,140 -- 144 14 1 ,4 16% 84 991,i 21 3 % 8% 3 16 3 4 24 991, AZYITALS. Wksat.

The supply of Beasts here to-day being somewhat ex tensive as to number even, the time of year considered, the weather very unfavourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers small, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline on Monday's quotations of quite 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected. There were in the market 420 Oxen and Cows, 680 Sheep, and 87 Calves, from abroad. With Sheep we were scantily supplied; nevertheless, the inquiry for that description of stock was heavy, at barely stationary prices —the best old Downs with difficulty producing 5s 2d per !Vbs. Prime small Calves moved off steadily, at full prices: Otherwise, the Veal trade was dull, and the rates had a doe award tendency. Pigs were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Mitch Cows were quoted at from 151 to 181 each, including their small calf. Per Sibs. to sink tk• offal. I. d. to s. d. 11. 1. te s. A.

S3IITTI V. TRUE/IT. This was an action brought to recover 2751., money had and received for the use of the plaintiff. Mr. Charnock appeared for the plaintiff, and liff- Crowder for the defendant. The plaintiff was the executor of a man named Smith, and the sister in-law of the testator. It would appear from the evidence that the wife of the testator and the defendant were sisters, and their deceased father lea each of them a legacy of 3001. Oa the death of Mrs. Smith her husband handed over her 3001. to the defen dant, to be kept until he should think proper to recall it. Shortly afterwards he died, leaving the plaintiff hill executor, and the present action was brought to re cover the balance, 2751. The defence was that the money was held in trust for he benefits of the children of the testator. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. SECONDARIES.-(THIS SAY (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) JONES V. BRAND. The plaintiff in this action is a wholesale tobacconist in Moorgate-street, City, and defendant is a shopkeeper at Northampton. The action was brought to recove r the sum of V. Its. for goods sold. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. A letter was put in trom defendant :Omitting the receipt of the goods, and two letters were tendered a g evidence written by a partner of the defendant's tit‘ torney, in which an objection was taken that the action ought to have been brought in the County Court.
