LIFE-BOAT.

The new invented life-boat with which experiments
have been making at Weyrnonth some time past, is
considered by rhos, oho have tried it, to be well
calculated 'o answer the purpose it is intended
for. While she was sailing from Teignmouth
to Weymouth, her Kern ports were all the lime
open. The following description of her may
prove amusing to some of your London readers,
as well as others :—She is buoyed up by 8 cases, 4 on
each side, water tight, and independent of each other.
When men are saved from a wreck aid landed, ch.•
boat may fete; n, and some tons of goods may be
put in the C 4 •., if tit! sea will admit of Its being
taken out of the wrecked vessel. In a storm the
boat is dismantled, and rowed by fourteen men,
who are all fastrnizi to their seats. As the sea
breaks into the boat, it immediately runs oat at her
stern ports. It is impossible to sink her. She has
fourteen life lines, the ends r.f witich float with cork,
by which, men that are washed off the wreck may
bold, before they can be taken into the boat. She
brings before the wind, or nearly so, upwards of 100
men at a time from the wreck. She is as manageable
with mils as any boar. of her size. The rudder is
on a new principle ; she has fourteen grapnels for a
wreck. a room ten feet wide, water tight, with cop-
ventilators. The/ whole of her construiftion is
entirely Wee

On Tuesday Jit'nnight. in the afternoon, during a
thunder-storm.llie lightning struck a new ship on
Mr. Tr alarm.% stocks, at Scarborough (supposed
to have been antra Ted by the capstan spindle), killed
a man and a boy working near the half-deck hatch-
way, forcing the boy before the windlass ; it then
entered the hold, and made its way out through the
bilge, teatine away the planks, inside and outside,
spin some of the timbers. started most of the planks
up to the binds, and killed an old man who was
boring under the bottom, knocked down a boy ga-
thering chips, and Who is not expeded to recover;
i then split a shore in two. and went through it
into the sand. The sufferers' clothes were much
burned.
On Monday se'nnight, there was in the Western
parts of Northumberland, the most tremendous
storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with
heavy showers of hail and rain, for nearly three
hours, that the oAesa person can remember. Two
mowers, working near Beltingham, in the parish
of lialtwllistle, ran to a house for shelter, but were
scarcely sit dowe, before one of them was struck
dead. The eleiatic Buhl, it appeared, had gone down
the chimney, as no part of the house was damaged.
and :so other person, although ravens' were near,
was injured. A young man, servant to Mr. Tuns.

he WAS putting right some slie-p. A child of three

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—WitoiassaAr, Anaest 7.
SHATTO D. THI CARL OF RADHCiI j THS BAAL 0

54DNOR V. 'IMMO.
This business, in which there had been severak,
bills and cross-bills filed, and which has been floating;
in the Court nf Chancery. for twenty years back,'
came now before the Court. on the claim of Mr.
Shafto and several others to the right of pre-emption
of considerable estates in the counties of Wilts and;
Middlesex, formerly in the possession of Sir Charles;
Duncombe.
The bill stated a number of settlements and de-I
vises, which gave many. valuable estates in several
counties in England, to Lord Feversham ; some of
which his Lordship held in fee, and others, for, life
only. In the will made lay Lord Feversham, he
left the estates which lie held in fee, to his son, if he
should have one ; and, if not, he left them tq cer-
tain trustees, to be sold, and the produce to be di-
vided between his daughters—and further ordered,
that his kinsman, Thomas Duncombe, Esq, to
whom the estates his Lordship held for life de-
scended. should have the right of pre-emption of the
estates, ordered to be sold by the Trustees—and. if
he died, tifen, that whoever should be entitled to
the estates, originally settled and entailed by Sir C.
nuncotribe, shmald have the right of pre-eniption.
Thomas Duncombe, though he survived tie testa-
tor, ailed without signifying his intention of buying
the estates; which have ever since remained unsold ;
and of which Mr. Shafto and several others now
claim to have a right of pre-emption. being entitled
to the estates originally settled by Sir C. Duncombe
on the Earl of Radnor.
Mr. FONSLAI.4Oe. 00 the part of Mr. 900.1.1•
water , intitled in right of their wives to a share of
the produce of the estate, argued against the claims
of pre-emption, as the property was of that nature
that it would bring considerably more if put up to
public sale, than if it were sold on an ordinary va-
luation. There was no way, he conceived, to raise
the price of any thing, but by competition; and as
public bidding was the only way of getting, the
highest pries, and thereby accomplishing the inten-
tion of the testator, he hoped his Lordship would
so order ir, particularly as the different parties
claiming might, its that case, be the purchasers if
thee pleased.
Mr. Prooe and Mr. RICHAROIIs on the part of
Mr. Shah n, who is the son of the daughter of Tho-
mas Dunc..m.o.7, Esq. argued strongly in favour of
his right of pre-emption ; they submitted, that Mr.
Shafto derived this right frnen Thomas Drincombe.
and was also intitled in the estates sealed by Sir C.
Duncombe ; on which account they hoped his Lord-
ship would order the master to pun a price on them,
which, whatever might be the contingencies annexed.
could be easily done, and that then Mr. Shaftu should
be declared the purchaser.
The Ar roe es v GENERAL. on behalf of Mrs.
George Hose, stated, that the right of pre-emption
was in her, and Mr. Shafto, as heirs at law o(
Thomas Duncombe ; and therefore hoped, that as it
was a bone& intended to be given by the testator to
Thomas buncombe, it should be transmitted to his
heirs.
Another claim was then put in for a person en-
titled to a contingent remainder, under the Will of
Sir C. Duncombe.
Mr. F0,./IL•taquit then replied at great length to
all the claims, strongly urging the necessity there
was for having the estate sold, and the propriety of
selling it to the highest bidder.
The Loan Cu A scatima said, as he had been so
long a time in a state of doubt and difficulty with
respect to this will, he did not think he should delay
a moment in giving his opinion on it. His Lord.
sbip then adverted to the arguments which had been
urged on all sides, and said, that under the circum-
tances which had aslually taken place, he did not
hink any person was entitled to the right of pre-
emption of the estate.
It was of course ordered to be sold in the usual
way, the question of cons was, by consent, deferred
till a future day.
We understand.a Borough that returns two Mem-
bers to Parliament, is attached to the Estates in

In this case, respe&ing the legacies to religious
orders, which we reported in our Paper of yesterday
and the day before, the LORD Cri•scea Lost signi-
fied his intention of not pi onpuncing judgment until
Monday next ; and in the mean time he wished the
Gentlemen employed would look into the Statute of
the 31st of the King. and see whether it repealed a
Statute of James the Second, which took away from
English :Wiens entering into Foreign seminaries,
the right of receiving legacies.
JOHN YE/CALI CARLETON o, SIR WM. LEIGHTON.
In this case, the Plaintiff having filed a bill for a
discoyery and relief, the Defendant put in a plea in
hay, to which shape it now Came before the Court.
The bill stated, that Sarah Metcalf being possissed
of a considerable estate, made her will and pied ;
but that will being set aside, the property same
hen the possession of Anne Metcalf, aunt to the
Plaintiff She being desirousito leave her property to
Plaintiff, who was than a bankrupt, so as. a should
not make away with it. executed a set ib tbt year
1793, and by it lett the property in question to the
Defendant, who was an intimate friend. it being, at
the same time. understood that he onlf had it in
trust for the Plaintiff, and that lie should pay him a
yearly annuity of 1751. In 17911, Anne Metcalf
died, and, for some time eller. the Defendant paid
the annuity regularly ; but a short dine since having
refined to pay, it, the Defendant, on inquiry, found
he wets entitled, as heir at law, to the whole pro.
ppert;-;, and, therefore, filed his Bill, prayinit tbat
the Ain may be set aside, and the estate niide
over to him. It was also stated that the De-
fendalnt had lately offered to pay the annuity of ,
1731. hut the Plaintiff, refused to accept it! To '
this bill a plea In bar had been put In, which
stated, that the Plaintiff having become a bankrupt
in t'lntt, prier to the making of the will, hrectould ;
not be entitled to this property, as all the property
he had before his ceitificate was signed. vested in his
asogrkes. ,
'Ube Logy CHANCLLLOR. in delivering his opi.
nion, WEAL ever the whole caw, making his observa.
lions on all the points, and, on the whole, was of
opiniqn, that the pleas should be over-ruled, and
that DelimicLuit should not be allowed to emend it 1

• CHIW STEALING-
' Afresh,' Lae was yesterday brought before the
Magistrates at this Office, charged with stealing
Henry Watts, a male child, aged seventeen months.
Grace Watts, the mother of the child, deposed,
that she 'vas the wife of William Watts, now Cap-
tain'a Cook on board His Majesty's ship the Cr-
/roper, one of Lord Nelson's fleet. She lived in
Bishop'ts-court. Cbancery.larie, and, dunng her
husband's absence, she attended a gentleman of
Gray's 1111 Chambers, washed and chared, &c. On
Saturday last, about eleven o'clock, she sent little
Henry with his brother William, a very fine boy,
about five years old, along with James Bentley, a
neighbour's child, of about the same age, to play,
and take the air in Lincoln's Inosstinare. In a little
more than an hour after, her son William came!
running to her to Gray's inn, crying out that aj
middle aged woman, in black, bad run away with,
little Henry. She immediately went to the Police.
Office, to give information, and, about one olclnek,
was informed the child 'was in St. Ann's Win k-
house, Soho. She went there, and found the child,
almost naked, with only his little shirt, shoes, and
stockings. Tits rest of the cloaths, hat, frock, pet-
ticoat, &c. he bad been stripped of. -
William Watts; the boy, stated, that while they
were playing in Lincoln's Inn Square, the Prisoner,
whom he positively swore to, came up, and, taking
the hand of Little Henry, said, " Let us run a
hale:" he took his other hand, and they ran a little
way ; she then brought them into Holborp, and
shew.:cl them the White Stag, aqd Golden Bee-hive.
and, after coaxing them a little tprther, she bought
some cherries for then; at the corner of Eagle-street.
Sbe then brought them into Bed Lion Square, and,
looking at the buys, told them their hands and faces
were dal, and desired them tizi go wash themselves
et the pump, to which she pointed, and she would'
in the mean tone take ears of Little I lenry. While
the two hnys were at the pump, the Prisoner toqir
the oppor:unity of Ascots:firs with the Child, whOus
she afterwards stripped, as it is supposed, and left
exposed in the street. ~
James Bentley, the othetloy„ Ore a similar testi-
mony; they were both about6ve years old, and gave
their evidence with singillar precision and consis-

persons present, who wished justice should take its
' due course: ' '
The Prisonet.'did Rot attempt to make any answer
to those chargek. During a long examination, she
stood at the bar with her elbow resting upon it, and
her face covered with her hands; she frequently
seemed to cry. She appeared to be a woman of be.
evfeen forty and fifty years of age, •ithiery fall
black eyes, thin visage, sharp nose, and sallow
complexion; her arms were much tanned by the
weather, and she was something above the middle
stature. She *ore an old black velvet bonnet, long
stiff stays, and cotton shawl, with a black petticoat,
and had neither gown nor shoes on. The Police
Officers recognised her as an old offender ; she had
been tried upon three similar indiaments the Ses-
sions before last at the Old Bailey, and con,vieded.
She was ordered to be committed to Newgate for
the present. and brought up again for further MI-
. mination on a future day.
Three other women were brought up, charged
off suspicion of similar offences; but. upon investiga-
don, the elnirges against two of them proved
groundless : the third, of the name of Fyte, was
committed to the House of CorreEtinn, as a vagrant,
being a well known pest in the neighbourhood of
Holborn and*. Giles's.

ROBBERY.
On the night of the 26th July, between nine and
ten o'clock, when the servant girl of MTS. Knight,
who resides in alone house at Stone, near Dartford,
in Kent, went into the garden to shut the kitchen
windaw-shutters, she observed four men in the gar-
den, apparently 'disguised, coming towards the
house ; she, saspeCting them to be robbers, hasten.
ed to get into the house again, to shut the door ;
,but they were too quick for her, rushed into the
kitchen, and threatened, if she made any alarm, they
would blow her brains out ; and they being armed
with pistols she was obliged to comply. One of
thefts remained with her, and the other three went
into the parlour to Mrs. Knight, when they, with
' tlie mug horrid threats, demanded her keys, and to
tell where her money was; which she relnaantly
' complied with. One of the villains remained with
her. and the other two went in pursuit of the pro-
perty; in searchitig the different rooms, they went
into a bed-room, where an aged gentleman, who
lodges with Mrs. Knight, was in bed, and asielpi

NI 4 IDSTONfe AVOUST G.
Last night Sir JA N Is MA war Mb and Mr. Justice
lh are arrived in this town, and read their Com-
mission far holding the Assists. This morning they
proceeded to their respeftive Courts.
Noose e. TAYLOR.
Mr. Gases., stated that this was an allion of
trespass, for 'eking the Plaintiff's waggon, and
forcibly throvring out of it a quantity of stones with
which it was laden. The Plaintiff was the Rev. Mr.
Moore, the Vicar of Wrotham, in this county, to
erbieh living he had been presented by his late fa-
tiller, the venerable Archbishop of Canterbury. and
*ben he came to his living, he found that the tythes
hadbeen leased for a sum, which was a mere nomi-
nal rent. He accordingly did that which every
nun would do in his situation ; he called a meeting
of the farmers of his parish, and proposed that each
man should lease his own tythes, but as they did not
agree upon die terms, he agreed with a stranger for
the whole. This was the cau:e of the present ac-
ties and many other grievances, for the farmers,
although they would not compound for their own
tythes. yet they would tint forgive their being lett out
to a stranger. He stated this merely as explanation
to lbw why the present aftiou was brought, for
Me. Moore, the Plaintiff, did not bring it with a
view to obtain any heavy damages, but merely to
thew that he would not submit to be harrassed with
impunity. He would now state what were the cir-
essusturees of the case : a Mr. George Taylor (not ,
tiro present Defendant) was mussed of a farm,
called Shut-hill Farm, from off which- he bad col-
lated a great quantity of stones ; these he sold to a
Mr. Richard Wakeman,_ *ho fetched them away as
he wanted them. The fans was afterwards sold to
Mr. James Taylor, the present Defendant, a great
rut of the stones still remaining on the land.—
• Walonnan, who was the purchaser of the stones,
sold a part of them to the Plaintiff, the Rev. Mr.
Moore, avid he sent his wsggon to 'vice's them
away. When the wiggan came, the Defendant's
Bailiff arid he had orders not to admit it ~it the land
of the Defendant. They accordingly stopped
short, and got a wheelbarrow and wheeled the
If . stwaggon, since the waggon was r. a al-
lowed to to the stones; wher. jn.t as they 1. td
loa*d it, t Defendant and his servant appeared, as
4 4einv. and immediately threw the whole Ldiog
out of the waggon into the road.

the Defendant Patuell came out of the house, and
acid, "You shall not come in here, Sir; lam the

out of the window and said. " Oh, air ! Mr. Spec-

lELPAIT, JULY 31.
COUNTY DOWN ELECTIoN
The Court met at ten o'clock. and in a short
time Lori Castlereagh entered, and seated himself
near to the Sheriff. After a few minutes pause.
his Lordship rose, and spoke to the following effee
" GENTLIIIIIII FIRIZHOLDTRII,
ts As it was not in my power to be present on the
first day of the elettion, I am desirous of shortly
stating to you now the reasons which occasioned
my absence. Upon the vacancy in the Represen-
tation of the County taking place, I dig myself the
honour of soliciting a fresh mark of your esteem,
in again placing me in the dignified situation which
I formerly held, and of conferring upon me that
important trust which you had confided to my
charge for several years pait I was not then aware
that any opposition would he made upon the pre-
sent occasion ; hut so (non as I learned that was to
he the ens... I fel• it env duty personally to solicit
the hoe ,ar of stone sorsorwt. I trust it will not be
nft.‘4.l" me to offer any apology for not imme-
cli.oelv an., ring in the county, on the vacancy
deelar-d. You, Geitlemen, most be fully
sen•ible. that the important dories conneeted with
the situltion to which I have been annointed by
His 14fili,....V.ronuire me closest arention ; and when
it is also recolleded. that in a period of war, these
dative become greatly multiplied and doubly im-
nrwrant, yon will. I am persuaded, he of opinion,
that T was hest 'attending to your interests, when
ane.rinp ow elf to the discharge of those public
duties -'rich are in intimately connetted with your
own. These eireornstances will fully explain to
yea. and, I trust. justify my not being prese it en
dle Ira day of the 'leaks's' and I must add, that
having left London only on Friday afternoon, you
will be satisfied I have not lost much time by the
way
!shall now makes few observationsreiPelling the
opposition that is made to my re-eledion and the &ten-
tleman who claims your support. That one of the
!frilly of clanwilliant may poly and with propriety
'for himself to h.,-nme your Representative in Par-
liament. is a -ronosition, which no geotlemen, who
knows the respeAabilityof that family. can deny
Upon a former occasion. a member of that family
held doe dignified situation—the gentleman who
now solicits your support. and whom I must. not-
withstanding. the relations in which we are placed,
call my honourable friend, is, I am persuaded, pos-
sessed of those qualities and honourable sentiments,
which are calculated to secure to I.im general esteem.
None of those who know him can hold him person-
ally in higher respell than I do ; and I am fully
persuaded, that, in the present contest. he, and those
gentlemen whn all along with him. will cool on she
election oith all that temper and decorum, that is
consistent with the nature of the case, and it ehall
be my study to adopt a similar line of conduct:
t. I shall now advert to some of the circumstance,
which are connected with the opposition offered
against my re-election. by my Hoe. Friend, upon
this occasion. I observe. he is not new present I bat
in none of the remarks which I mean to make, shall
I feel disposed to derogate from that respectabis
lity and honour, which have always distinguished
him. That n of the fami'.v of Clanwilliarn might
justly look up to the honour of becoming your
presentative in Parliamert. is what might naturally
be eznetled ; but it may be asked, if. upon the pre.
rent meanie. the claim now made is with the non-
sent and approbation of that family ? I have reason
to believe it is not. If it had been so, we might
have eapetteg that the elder brother next to the
Peerage, would have solicited that honour. He,
howewer, lois not done so; and among the Gentle-
men who honour me with their support, I have the
pleasure to cnant :navy members of that family.
From what tlica has the present opposition taken jai
rise? Has it been from the Hon. ,ientletnan Mos,
self who stands forth as my opponent ? I l
that. I have -other reason to believe it takes
rise from a Noble Family which possesses great in-
fluence
and great pr, xperty within the county ; and,
if report be traits he • lid not solicit, bet has limn
solicited to stand forward upon the present occasion.
How far the interference of that family, in the mode
in which it has taken plate, has been constitutional
or proper, it is not necessary for me now to discuss.
there 's apr 'Der tt-huital eupetent to judge of that,
if it ever &hail -me '•. fore them. The family to
which I have all.. led -Ire, upon a forner occasion,
understood to have recommended a G. ntlentan to
your notice; and accorgir.,:ly the Hon. Gentleman,
who was my colleague. was chosen your Represen-
tative in Pirliament. Has n then the influence
at' ached to this family been fully gratified ? or •haU
the county he told, that molting short of comol-te
ascendancy -will ti.tisfy ths:- ,•xpeastinns ; that all
the other n d respeastsle t undies i-' the county
most yield to their mandate, and that family alone
shal" lot' it ov - them with uncontrnuled authority?
T'ae respctlaqe families id the county whc bo-
niest' me with their support possess prnpertv of not
ley imoortance, aad will n..t tail, with equal spirit.
r. mar,.tatn their iadeco• It is certainly
well known that upon many occasions those holding
the honours of h- Peerage have indireßly given
their support and ei.e• '.ante in the elettion of a
Comregner ; but probabh it was never known be-
tore, that any pets in possessing a Peerage should, by
pantie advertisement in the newspapers, openly de.
Blare their interference at an elegiacs. I shall here
rake n nice of what is in public report, for the truth
of which, however. 1 do not pledge myself; and tlio'
fusty Honourable Friend is not present himself, when
be retuttiait will be iu bis power. or those sotto adR

ffsr him may now tentradie it, if the report be SHP
rnutlded. . It is reported, that having obtained the
-*toast of this family, in respect of votes, he is also
i ito have the use of his purse, that is, that the whole
executes of this election shall be defrayed for him.
My purse is not so long as to prompt me to disturb
the peace of a county, or to challenge competitors
to a canvas; but still I have enough to enable me to
"and any contest, where my own honour, or the ho-
nour of shy county is engaged ; and, whatever ex-
pence is necessary shall not be spared upon the pre-
sent occasion. I have bad the honnur for fifteen
years past to represent the county of Down in PAT-
liament. I felt a pride in the elevated situation to
which I had been preferred ; I considered it as a
bond of union with the county, Which I should ever
wish to maintain, and which I hope shall not soon
be dissolved, knnwirg, as I do, that I have the appro-
bation and support of families of the first rank,
respectability, and property within it. Had I not
thus valued my connection with the county, I might
have avoided the erpence and labour of a contest.
and, I have reason to believe, might have procured
a seat in Parliament, without any of the anxieties
which these occasion ; but my attachment to tbe
county of Down was such that these copsidtrations
appeared to he of no moment." His Lordship ob-
served, that he had detained the Court longer thin
he intended to do, but was led into these remarks
by the peculiar circumstances of the case. He con-
cluded by saying, that he felt confident of receiving
the support or 'he Freeholders ; and had no doubt
they would again do him the honour of placing him
in the dignified situation he formerly held as their
Representative in Parliament.
Major Ma eriews said, that as the Hon. Colonel
Meade was not present, he would take upon him to
state fn his behalf, that what had been mentioned
by the Noble Lnrd respecting the peaceable manner
of eondueting this election, would meet with his
most hearty approbation, and he would pledge
himself, that the utmost propriety should distinguish
the conduit of his pony. After what had been
stated by the Noble Lord as to the honour and Aa.
taller of the Honourable Colonel, he did not find
it necessary for him to add any thirs more—his
Lordship had done it in a strain of eloquence in
which he would not pretend to follow him—it was
an eloquence which his Lordship possessed in sn
powerful a degree. that it had proved sufficient to
overturn the constitution of the country. He beg-
ged leave fnrther to remark, that his Lordship had
said that Colonel Meade did not invite, but had
been invited by the Noble Family which had been
alluded to ; he, however, would take upon him po-
sitively and exoressly to deny this, and, were it ne-
cessary. he could name the Gentlemen who solicited
in his belialf. It had been asked, why the Hon. Co
lonel should step forward upon this occasion and
not his elder brother ? He would answer this by 1
stating, that his elder brother, from his official do- ,
ties, could not undertake it, as he was a General,-
Ihavia eat present the command of a district. It had
also been said, that the Hon. Colonel came forward,
re-ommended by one of the first families in the
county ; hot surely this can never be urged as an
ohjelti,.l against him, or as a reason for rejeating
him The Major concluded by observing, that as he
was not accustomed to public speaking. he would
not follow the Nook Lord through his long train of
remarks; hut he trusted that the conclusion of the
poll would be a sufficient answer to all of them.
Mr nu-roves said, the Freeholders had heard a
long speech from his Lordship, in which he had
spoken of the independence of the county ; hut he
hoped the Freeholders would chew to his Lordship,
that they were sufficiently independent to return a
Gentleman of their own chus:ng. His Lordship he
said, had been the means of carrying through 'sat
me 'sure of the Union ; but had that measure les-
sened our taxes. nr increased our trade' At the
time a tax was laid upon the linen trade, did his
Lordship endeavour to prevent that ? He concluded
by remarking, that the Irish Parliament had now
been transported to England.
Lord Casecteesess rose, and said, he should
again beg leave to intrude upon their et.-ntion for
a few moments. The Hnn. Gentleman who had
spoken last. had laid him under obligations for which
he was bound to thank him. He admired his man-
liness and candour; for when any Gentleman had
reason to complain of his conduct, it was fair to ex-
press it openly, rather than follow the conduct of
some who went about with secret insinuations. The
Hon. Gentleman had objected to his conduct in re-
gard to the Union; but let Gentlemen reflect a
little, and they will find, that in respect to most
public measures, especially one of so much conse-
quence as the one alluded to, men are foand to
entertain very different sentiments, as it did han
ppe
upon that occasion ; he, however, was still of opi.
mon that the Union would be found of the greatest
advantage to this country. A very short period
bad ela ,ed since that measure had been adopted ;
but it would be found that by Ireland having be-
come an iotWal part of the empire, the expence
which she bad since contributed to the State had
been considerably less than would have fallen to
her shore, had she been left to maintain the troops
necessary for ',el- own defence, and to defray the ex-
' panel of bar own Government. With regard to what
i the Hon. Gentleman had said respecting the tax
I upon thefinen trade, he would shortly state, that, at
the time that tax was imposed. the Legislature had
resolved to lay a tax of 4 per cent. upon all manu.
I factored goods exported, which, it was supposed,
I would not injure them materially in foreign mar-
lheti. With regard to lessening other taxes, it must
' occur to every gentleman, that, during a period c.f
war, there was no opportunity for carrying their
usemnres into effect. Ir was a pleasing circumstance,
however, to contemplate that, by the mutual inter-
, course of the two nations, now formed into one, the
trade of hod; had been, and would be promoted, and
Isy the English merchants embarking their capital ie
Irish manufactures, great advantage must arise to
this counter.
