Wyly think religion inconsistent with liberty, disgust the people

tremble to the invasion of the French. The misfortunes and Ito.

ess the einiaequenee of a shameless breach of treaties and the
Fe.existing disposition of England to tyrannize over Ireland ; for
whet England was Cathodic, she was equally hostile to the pro-
etety and tranquillitiv f Ireland. 31r. O'Connell then proceeded
p arctic in area to detnonotrate the violation of the treaty of Li-
merick. and °berried upon the infatuated policy that gives Ire.
bed an interest in the embarrassments of England ; suggested the
ersatage of sending in the course of next sunnier a missiqn of
eeltbrattd Catholic preachers, and also of two or three I:ish agj.
tars, in order to inform the English people what really were

ttnwyy..cr confirmation of that opinion, than the failure of Ministers
bride to the Catholics, in their endeavours, notwithstanding, all
thdr Uterine, to procure the assembling of public meetings, to
re:Sion averse the Catholic claims. The imputations of Mr.

COURT OF COANCiitY, FILIDAT, Dcc. 23.

CNAWSDAY r. COLLINS AND OTHERS.
The Lo•D CiIaucICILLOU said IMP judgment in t h:R case stood
for to-day. but as there was other business that would occupy the
Court until a late hour, he should come down on Thursday next,
and deliver that as well as several others. If the Solieitors for the
parties would then attend, he would not require the presence of
Connie!. His Lordship, in reterence to a motion made by Mr.
cs to a suit in which an abetment of it had taken place,
in consequence of the non-attendance of the parties on one side on
motion, service having been made by the other, and which was en-
deavoured to be eapleined by saying the Solititor was out of town,
paid, was it to be endured for a moment that such an explanation
abould have weight with the Court ? He (the Lord Chancellor)
supposed that it would be said hereafter that the delay ofjustlee In
this ease also was attributable to the Lord Chancellor. His Lord-
ship held a short conversation with Mr. Hart, on the subject of a
letter he had received from a female suitor, a client of that gentle-
man's. Ilia Lordship said that he must acknowledge the letter
was written in a very proper spirit, and he had considered it his
duty to write that lady an ainawer on the stibitxt of her application.
His Lordship said it was extremely painful for him to be put in
personal competition with the suitors He said that be never felt
more than when addressed by a person in Court the other day.
That person considered his case as one of great harmaliiii. and ex.
pressed himself tolerably confident as to the result ; and yet, said
his Luralaltip, at that very tittle the minutes of judsistent Were
drawls up, and the decision was against his claim.

• bOVENT.OARDEN TTIEATRE.

CONST V lIARI4IS.

31r. SIIADWFLL. on behalf of Messrs. Kernble, Wine, and
Forbes, pr►yed an alteration in the order made by hi. Lordship in
this ease, so fat as referred to the payment of '6 nightly expenses,"
and that it should stand instead thereof " the pdynient of rent,
t■=es, and annuities due, or becoming due fur, or h respect
of the Theatre, or chorged on the Theatre, or in the conduct
thereof."

r. HART objected that Alla would lead to a re.haring, rather
than an Rmeiiihnem of the motion.

31r. HEALD said he appeared for the receiver, and if the rent
was not ;.aid the Theatre must be shut tip, and therefore if this was
Insisted upon, the proprietors trust look to themselves.
The 1.0 tilt CHANCELLOR said that the order clearly pointed to
the carrei,t expetises, the current expenses being those incurred
front day to day, not goirg hack to old times. Rent became due
un a particular day, and therefore. in one sense, that might be
said to he a tatty expense. Old debts clearly were not meant to
be paid.
Mr. HAAT. en the part of Mr. Conn, prayed that the receiver
should pay monthly into Court the balance Mtn bands, after de-
ducting the nightly expense..
Mr. SVODPIS appeared for Mr. Harris, and agreed in the pro-
posal for the payment of the current expenses, viz. rent, taxes, an.
sullies, rates. and nightly expenses.
Mr. Su ADWIELL said it would be impossible to pay the rent; it
was not demanded day by day, and if the balance wu to be paid in
monthly, then at the end of the Stilt the balance would not be
suffici.nt for the payment of the rent, and they would distrain.
Mr. HEALD easel, this was an application tiyainat the receiver,
in order to inflict upon him every imaginable difficulty. It so hap-
paned that since he had been appointed he had become obnoxious,
by centre the proprietors together to pan the accounts. He (Air,
Heald) had never known an instance in wh;ch a receiver was embed
upon to pass his accounts monthly, nor were there any affidavit. in
this iostance to support the application, or show its necessity. The
receiver was under a personal bond of ;.11,000/. and two securities of
10,000/. each, which would fully cover any %lance likely to arise.
The tact was, that the object of this nuniou was clearly to drive
Mr. liottcr win out of his office of receiver.

Mr. limn . denied that there was auy thing personal Intended in
his appliec inn.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that there could not be the
slightest ground fur sunnusing but that he would order receivers to
pass their accounts as often as the nature of their office demands..
In this instance, he would not go the length of Mr. Han's propusi.
tinn, nor adopt that of Mr. Heald ; he would steer a middle course
between both. Let the receiver file an affiJavit of the amount of
the balance in his hands every trio months, and if there should be
any ground for applying the money, let him come to the Court. If
that were often neeeauary, his Ltmlabip thought it would be at boa
prices.
ilr. HEALD said, if his Lordship would allow him, he would
read the torm of the motion—receiver to notice affidavit of balance
in his hands every two month+, with leave for the partici, to apply
for such balance to be paid into Court.
The LORD Cusxcst.t.oa (to lilt. I.leald)—l think that is a
verrAser.ut.orsia.
NEtV KANIERtP.TA.C.F.

In answer to an applkation n7a7l; to his-I:ordshlp u to one of
the provisions of this Act, his Lordship said be should with to
have as many cams as possible where the Act created any doubt, or
alter difficulty occurred in its application, suggested to him during
the heat month, for reasons which it WAS uut necessary for Lim to
explain, but which might be imagined.

31r. If naxu applied on behalf of the petitioner, against whom
a cninmisrion of bankrupt was issued en far back as 11102. The
bankrupt then happened to have been travelling in France, and
the war suddenly breaking out, subsequent to the peace of Amiens.
he was detained, be order of the existing government, with many of
his countrymen. Under these circumstances it was impossible for
the bankrupt to surrender; and as it clearly appeared that he had
not left England to evade the commission, Jlr. Home hoped his
honnur would have no objection to comply with the prayer of the
petition.—Ordered.

Mr. 31ONTACU appeared on behalf of the petitioner, two per-
mons named IVooton, who prayed the Court to stay the certificate of
Richard Kichards•m, their late partner, who had been included
with them in a rommisaion of bankrupt issued some time since.
Mr. Itoec opposed the prayer of the petition on the part of
Richardson. tie raid that the petitioners had not yet obtained
their own certificates, and could not therefore properly coons before
the Court in ,he character of petitioners. lie hoped the Solicitor
would be ordered to pay the costs of a proceeding an improper.
The VICE-CIIAXCELLOII ordered the petition to be dismissed,
and the coos to be paid by the petitioners.
