RALEIGH. (N.C.), MAY.IO.
MANUMIRRION.—At the annual Meeting of the tinet,tt
of Friends in this state, held last Fall, that r‘speetabit
body came to the resolution of manumitting and rem*,
all the coloured people hell by them, that were willing t 4,
leave the country ; and since that time, they have heir
concerting measures for carrying their inn idiom intoeffett.
and consulting the wishes of the coloured people thee,;
selves in relation to their future destination, which has rt.
stilted in the following arrangement :-120 of the numb„,,
are desirous of going to Hayti, 316 to Liberia, and No
wish to be sent to the non-slave-holding states of Ohio,
Indiana—which we believe embrace the whole of the pup,
lation of this description held by this Society, except Ifeß
who have formed family connexions, which they are un.
willing by removal to dissolve, and where the husband „,
I wife is Itch! by persons from whom they cannot he put.
cliated.

We obtained this information from our friend Dr. Georg,
Swaine of Gui:dford county, (as be passed through this
city, a few days ago,) who is deputed by his Society to at,
tend to the embarkation, and to supply the rants of ,f.„,
part of this population who have made choice of Hays fa,
their future lioJ:e. They will sail from our port of Ben.
fort, a few days hence, on hoard a vessel which has beet,
engag-d for the purpose, ownid by Mr. Henry Cooke, of
that place, and commanded-by Capt. Thompson.
The 316 of this population who have chosen to go to
Liberia, and the 100 who wish to be removed to Ohio or
Indiana, will also be sent there at the txpolse of the So,
ciety of ,Friends ; the former by one of the first vessels to
the Africa!' Settlement ; and the latter, by means of wog.
gons, which will b.! c tigaged to convey them and the litte
property of which they may he possessed.
Besides the above-mentioned coloured people, we learr,
that this Society have already sent Mt lit- persons to the
State of Ohio, 47 by the Indian Chief, which lately tnihd
from Norfolk to Liberia, and 11 by another vessel, which
sailed about the saine time to Africa.

It ought also to be mentioned to the credit of this Sc.

WEPT-AMINO OF THE COUNTY OF YORK.

" Mir hoan—We, the undersigned weavers, spinners, and la-
bourers, of the town and neighbourhood of Almondbury, humbly
beg leave to make our most distressing case known to your Lord-
ship, fully confiding in your known gentrosity of disposition, and
your with far the pmce, happiness, and prosperity of our country.
We are men, and though from our humble situaion in life, some
may deem k presumptuous in us to approach into your presence,
yet the necessity of our families demand at our hands every lawful
exertion to obtain bread for own wives and children, since the
sources of our labour and industry have failed. These blessings
have Sed hem us for some months past, and after having tried pa-
rochial and charitable aid, we find them quite inadequate to our
wants. The greatest proportion of our employers, alter having
used their best cutleavouts to continue our work, we tear are fast
faliing under the diffacultiesohich are now overwhelining the coin-
ruercisl RCd manufacturing classes in one common ruin.
" The few who have ventured to memorialize your Lordship under
the-
-c a nst trvingeircurnstai.ces, only form the outline of hundreds
and thousands of their fellow-workmen, whose cases are equally
distressing and appalling. And we most humbly beg your Lord-
, ship to make the necessary inquiry into our state, and to coder
such relief as will keep our faini les in existence, and preserve the
pe:tu of tlh, eotu.ty. The tale of our distress and sufferings is too
long for a memorial; but, if your landaltip will condescend to give
us a personal interview, we will relate our various trials and suffer-
, logs, and we doubt not but your Lordship will use your best
en-
deavoun for our relief.

NEW YORK, JUNE 20.

Letters from Para to the writ of May were received
yesterday, via Barbadoes- and Hartford. They state that
an insurrection hail broken out at Cameta, a place about
150 miles from Para, up the Amazon, where upwards of
Sot) men had embodied, and committed some excesses. A
letter of the :nth says, " the expedition sent to quell the in-
surgents at Cameta has been entirely defeabil, with the
loss of its artillery, and mere than 40 wounded. The
latter have arrived here. This business, which was at first
thought unimportant. begins to assume a serious aspect.
An embargo has been laid here, and the President is fitting
out a brie: of in guns, with several smaller vessels, includ-
ing a New York schooner, and declares his intention of
destroying the town in case of further resistance.

Mr. Sergeant Val:cuss: (with whom was Mr. PLATT) said,
this was an action for defamation. The plaintiff and defendant
both resided at Sheerness, and the former was employed eaten.
sively in conveying stone for the manuf..cture of Parkins's cement.
The defendant was a fanner. and the proprietor of a hoy which
was used to convey corn rn London, and carry back goods for the
Sheerness tradesmen. 11l health obliged the plaintiff to leave
Sheerness in the month of February last. After the plaintiff's de-
parture, and on sonic subsequent occasions, defendant said, to the
great Injury of the plaintiff, " This is a pretty jos about Jeremiah
Brown—he is broken to pieces. It is true, for Saxby told me so
and all the vessels and tackle are L Ina in the harbour to be sold."
The defendant said, tan. that the plaintiff was never worth a penny
in his life, and hail failed two or three times. To a second person
he said, '• Brown has gone off, and there will not be a penny for
any one." The Learned Sergeant 5t.1,1 he should prove that the
defendant had uttered these words, and that there was no founda.
tine for them.

The ease having been proved,
Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the Jury for the defendant. lie
hoped they would be lenient and teinperate in the damages they
might give, for the deferulant had fonli illy listened to the gossip of
another person, and how the tale orlgiuuted he was not able to
ascertain. Ile regretted that he had imprudently uttered words so
offensive. and he hoped this regret would weigh with the Jury.
The Loan tut Er JUSTICE summed up.
The Jury found a verdict tie the plaintiff—Damages 1001,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ECTottT zo t Turner, theßeadle of St. George's,
yeserday appeared on the following charge of extortion:—
Os. Self, a widow, formerly in the public line, said she had
lied as bar-maid about six months with Mrs. Lightfoot, kvintner,
inSouth Audley-street, till last Saturday, when, in consequence of
acne difference between Mn.s Lightfoot and herself, she determined
leave. At the time of her leaving, Mr. Southall, a friend of her
siatress, recommended that her boxes should be searched, and sent
Dr Turner, who having looked over her trunks in presence of the
alters, and finding nothing but her own property, said there was
no charge of felons to detain her. Witness then initial him to get
her a coach, and he helped her in with her boxes. This being
done, he said he expected to be paid for his trouble. She put down
a five shilling piece, and he hesitating, Mr. Southall said that was
not enough. Agitated and anxious to get away, she put down two
half-crowns more, which Turner took up and kept. Having men-
tioned the circumstance to her mother, she was advised to apply at
the_Office.

Turner said it was a voluntary offer of Mrs. Self's ; that he had
had a great deal of trouble, had paid tifteenpenee to the man who
fetched the coach, and had a right to be paid porterage and loss of
time.

Mrs. Self denied any voluntary offer, for when she put down the
crown piece, he was dissatisfied, and then she put down the two
half-crowns.

Mr. DYER—It is a very gross extortion. There wu nothing
found on the young woman to charge her with, and it is out of all
reason to make any demand. The person who calls in the officer
is the party to pay, and not a defendant. You ought to have
known what you were doing. You are liable to an action. Were
you in the hands of a jury you would be very roughly bandied.
Ghe back to the young woman the ten shillings directly.
Turner—l paid fifteen pence to the man for the coach.
Mr. DYER, to Mrs. Self—Pay him 15.3 d. and take up lie lOs.
It is a shameful extortion.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

• COURT OF CHANCERY. WZDNESDAT, MAY 24.

MELLIIIR v. xEctisn.

The Loin CitaircELLoa. in reference to the application that
had been made in this cause, for the defendant to be allowed to
(atm the money out of Court upon giving an undertaking to pay
it bock again if requited so to do, said that he cr•uld not consent to
&a large a sum being taken out merely upon an undertaking that it
al id be returned if necessary.
Mr. HORSE observed, that perhaps his Lordship would permit
It ill of the money to be taken out upon ouch an undertaking, rr
es.m the whole mm, upon Mr. Mellish giving a security to pay it
back again if it should become necessary.
The LORD CIIAXCELLOR thosaght the proposition perfectly
reasonable.
London, England, 1826-05-25

nREF,CE.

The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition front a wish in
Essex, complaining of the cruelties which had been practised by
the Turks upon the Greeks, and praying the interference of their
Lordships. The Noble Earl remarked, that he did not know, nor
did he wish to inquire, what WWI the policy of the Government with
respect to the war between the Turks and Greeks, but he would
have no ohiection to ore petitions on the subject presented to their
Lordships: The petition which ho had in his hand was the first
which had lien presented, but it should not be inferred from that
circumstance that there was any indifference in this country to the
cause of the Greeks. The reason there were not many petitions on
their Lordships talde, io farcur of the Greeks,was that the country
in gencrttl entertained no doubt of the sincerity of his Majesty's Go-
vernment in their wishes to forward the success of the Greek cause.
FOREIGN (URN BILLS.

The Earl of I,IV movod the order of the day for
ening into a Committee for the tardier consideration of the Foreign
Corn Bills.

'''''''' of I/ANSI/OWN said, that in consequence of
unavoidable absence, he had not an opportunity of delivering his
sentiments on those measures when they were under discussion he.
fore their Lorttships ; and although he did not mean to give them
any oppoNititin, he wished to state his reason for giving them only •
limited rapport. Ills ohiection was not to the Warehoused Co•n
hot to the discretion given to his Majes.y's Government for
the admission of tiircign corn, when there did not appear to be any
necessity made oat for giving them such a power. If it should
happen thlt s nete%pity should arise Co. the •arriistoi.r. of a W•••••••
quantity of corn than that allowed by the Act, would the Noble
Earl at the :mad or the Treasury say that Government would not
take upon themselves the responsibility of admitting whatever
quantity they thought necessary ; and if such should be the case,
he did not see any reason why they should not assume the responsi.
finny without the present measure. lie did not think that any
alteration should be made in the Corn Laws until • complete and
permanent revision should be determined on; and he knew no
duty more imperative upon the Legislature than an entire revision
of the Corn Laws. lle also thought that if any class was more
interested than another in that revision, it was the agricultural
interest.

Their Lordships then resolved into a Committee, when, after a
few verbal objections by lond ELLE Knoll ov cu, the further con.
sideration of the Warehoused Com Bill was postponed until to.
morrow (this day), for the purpose of giving time to make the ne.
cessary alterations.
The Corn Importation Bill passed through the Committee, and
was reported without any amendments.
Lord TEYNII.I3I presented a petition from Rochester, against
any alteration in the Coin Laws.
Their Lordships adjourned at Seven o'clock.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

tember, but he did not know from whom, he having that day pia/
away and received, a' bets, to the amount of 22,02 M. lie admitted
also that the plaintiff's had advertised their loss by posting bills
about the town, and announcing it in the " Public Ledger," sad
the " hue and Cry," newspapers ; but the defendant contended
on this that he did not take the note for a twelvemonth after such
announcement ; and the plaintiff% had not exercised due caution
in allowing so much time to pass without again advertising.
The Loan CIIIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury. If they
thought the defendant had taken the bill from somebody he
knew, and had not, therefore, thought it necessary to now lkom
shorn he received it, they would find a verdict in his favour; but
if they thought the plaintiffs had exercised a due caution in adver-
tising it, and the defendant had taken it without due caution, their
verdict must be for the plaintiff's.
' Mr. Sergeant ‘VILDE said there must be a verdict for the de-
fendant, there being no evidence of a want of due caution, to go
to the Jury.
The LoaD CHIEF JUSTICE thought there was.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Then, my Lord, I must tender your
Lordship an exception.
After some discussion as to the wording of the exception, his
Lordship received it.
The Jury then delivered a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages
fifty pounds.
SNOW AND OTHERS V. SADLER:
This action was brought by the same plaintiff's. The facts were
also the same ; and it was similarly disposed of.

REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.

COPY OF MR. HITSKISSON'S REPLY TO THE
REQUISITIONISTS.
Somerset-place, 20th May, 182 fl.
GENTLEMEN,—My friend /11r. Bolton has this day delivered
to me a requisition, conveying, in terms most Nattering to my feat,
logs, the expression of your readiness and desire to use every exer-
tion in supporting my re-election as your Representative in the next
House of. Commons. I will frankly own to you, that before I re-
ceived this requisition, my mind had been made up to solicit the
renewal of the high and impurtant trust which the expected diaso.
lution of the present Parliament must, ere long, place at your dis-
posal. Apart from all motives of honourable distinction connected
with that trust, I could not but feel that the tender, at least, of my
further services, was the only return, however inadequa,e, which
1 could make for the decided approbation with which you had so
recently marked my past conduct. The number, as well as the re.
apectability, satisfy me that I am not thought undeserving of the
continued confidence of my con-tituents. I receive, therefore,
with all gratitude, the pledge of your united co.operation to secure
illy return for Liverpool—a pledge which it will be my pride to
give you an opportunity of redeeming at the hustings, whenever
the election may take place.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
With truth, respect, and attachment.
Your most obedient and faithful servant.
W ILL! AM HUSKISSON.

SPATE OF TRADE.

FROM THE LOWER RWIWE, MAT 6.
Our manufacturers of wooden cloths have lately received contd.
derable orders, chiefly from Italy. The manufacturers who work
for the Levant market are also very busy. Since this branch of
commerce has declitied at 3larstillcs. the East is chiefly supplied
by our cloth manufacturers. They might have expected still greater
advantages from the sale of the goods sent to these countries, bat
for the louses they sustain by the augmenting deterioration of the
Turkish piastre—an evil the progress of which ism) rapid that there
is not always time, when a payment is made, to calcula.e the real
value of the coin, and to regulate the prices accordingly. Nee
orders for German wool, especially the middling qualities. have
lively been given from Virolers, Cumin, &c. hut yet the merchants
have limited these orders because they have learned that great quan-
tities of wool are expected back from England. at Antwerp and
other seaports. The amount is stated at 12.000 bales, of which
about the half is German wool, and the rest Spanish.
The public tranquillity was never less disturbed in the North of
England than during the present week; a number of cameo have
co-operated to 'allay the late excitation in the public mind, and
none more effectually than the benevolent exertions which are mak-
ing in every part of the eountry, with the King es their chief
patron, to relieve the prevailing distress. We do not think that
■ny material improvement has taken place in trade generally, but
in one branch of the woollen business there is an obvious amend-
ment. Our correspondent from Bradford. in his letter yesterday,
says, " The stuff inarkct of Bradford was on Thursday unusually
brisk ; a larp quantity of goods were sold, but there was little or
no advance in the price; the manufacturers are in better spirits,
and this spring in the demand will make an opening for fresh
stocks; should the improvement continue, a great many of the
working people will meet with partial, if not full employment."—
Money is still MM.!, and credit, which is a plant of very gradual
growth, revives slowly. Considerable doubt exists as to the nature
of the business meant to be transacted by the flavernor and Com-
pany of the Bank of England. in their intended branch banks, at
Leeds and other commercial places. On this subject we have no
specific information ; hut we may venture to say, that if they con.
fine their transactions here, as in London, to the mere discounting
of bills, without making advances, either a new, and we fear dan-
gerous system of bill transactions, noun be introduced, or little
advantage will accrue from the establishment either to the Bank or
to the public.—Leeds Nereus y.
