The trial of the Earl of Arran e. Tyrawley. occu-
pied the Court et Chancery the whole of Tuesday.
In the three sitting days of Nei, Pries. durieg the
present Tertn, in the Co art of Common Pleas, there
were nn'y four records for trial. This is a pleasing
proof of the decline, in this country, of the trade of
litigation, and has excitpd considerable astonish-
ment, and, pethaps, morapation too, amongst the
gentlemen of the long robe.
Asentbman who has just returned from Baltina-
stse, infdrms us, that the country is ha the greatest
possible dine,* ; the roads are rendered imp usable
from the vast qunities of saow, by which All corn.
munication with the neighbouring market towns Is
cut off. Would it not be adriseshle in those pea-
son; who are placed in high military situations in
this country, to grant such assistance as the milita-
ry could afford, in re-opening the internal commu-
nications, and which could only be effected by stash
an interference ? Admiral Pakenham and Colonel
Avlmer have been indefatigable in their exertions
for opening the toads in the neighiscorhood of Kil-
cock. The Canal is completely frozen wp. which
also cuts off all commuoication by water.
A meeting of the Magistrates of the coolly Tip-
perary was appointed to take pine yesterday, to
take into ouosidetation the state of the coo sty.
