The manufacturers of Ireland mean to petition
the Legislature for a continuance of the protecting
duties passed at the time of the Union. in favour
of the manufactures of that country. The follow-
ing Resolutions for that purpose have been adopted
by the manufacturers of the City of Cork. Similar
Reinlntuit's have b.est adopted by the manufac-
turers of Dublin mod Carrick-on-Suir :
Resolved—That at the period of the Legislative Vision of
Great Britain and trelaud, it was deemed seeessary to coo-
finite the then exist eig duties upon the imports of &kith
and Foreign Mannfacturrs fur a term et meaty years, which
regulation in r of Ireland was conceded as • cots pease-

primers, the waist of capital amongst our traders, corn.
booed with various other national causes, we are still in
want of that protection afforded us by the Act of Union
and should the p t existing ditties be abolished, the total
and complete extinction of every semblance of Irish moon-
facture, and the ruin of our entire manufacturing popula-
tion, must inevitably

A vessel is arrived in Cork, is. twenty-nine days
from Norfolk, Virginia. She brings intelligence
that the yellow fever wss raging with considerable
violence at Baltimore, Boston, and Charleston.
There was also reason to think that it had broken
out at Bermuda. All weasels arriving from thrt
island were placed under quarantine on their arrival
in the ports of the United States.

The late Duke of NounLs was Lord Lieute-
nant of the Wert Riding of Yorkshire. His G►ace
was removed from the office for having given " The
Sovereignty of the People" as a timid. at a public
dinner, at the Crown and Anchor Tave►n. The
office was then conferred on Earl FITZWILLI Aillionid
in Mr. Foit's Administration the Duke of NORFOLK

insisted upon bring restored to it, but Ertl Frrz.
WILLIAM contended that the office was hereditary
in his family, and should not have been given
away out of it. Hi. Lordship prevailed, and has
continued to hold it to the present time.

ted to prison until next Sessions.

During the last two days the wind has been un-
commonly high from the north-west along the coast,
which has occasioned some damage sesougst the
shipping. Several vessels have put into Rsutsgate
fur shelter, and, as will be seen by our port letters,
a kw have lost anchors and cables, but the damage
is not so great as might have been expected.
Friday 300 convicts were removed from the
Leviathan and Laurel hulks, in Portsmouth har-
bour, to the Co►omandel. which ship has been fit-

LAW LVTELLIGENeF.

COURT OF KINGs BENCH, Goiconnt,
SATIJOLDAY. 001111111[111 t 3.

SR TAITET AND ANOTHER V. RAPP._

This was an action by the asaigtires of Messrs.
from the Latham and Parry, to recover fDefendant
a sum of tummy alleged to have been received by
1' for the um of the Isiankrapte estate.
Mr. GU RN EY stated the case to the Jury. From
the Learned Counsel's statement it appeared, that
toe precut question arose out of the transaction
brtweru the bankrupt Parry and the prevent De.
leinimat, which his already been so fully detailed
to the public, both by the proceedings in this
Court and in the Court of Chancery. The case
related to the advance of monies at different limes
Icy the Defendant to Parry, to be employed, as the
latter stated, in the purchase of wines, which were
to be re-sold for the benefit of the parties. It sp-
!mimed, that in the coarse of these transactions Mr.
Rapp advanced tee Party a sum exceedilig 126,0001.
Parrs• rendered loin from time to time accounts of
purchases and sales, and had paid loins hack
130.0001. in midst to which Mr. Rapp claimed
to prove under Latham and Parry'. commission for
a further sum of 9,000/. alleged by him to he due
upon the transactions tie question. On the bank-
ruptcy of Lithium and Parry taking place, and in-
quiry being set on foot as to these transactions be-
tween Parry nod Rapp, it appeared that the whole
was a faiptcation out the part of Parry, who, want-
ing money fur other purposes, obtained these sums
of Mr. Rapp, amusing him from time to time with
accounts of pretended sales sod purchases of wines
which never took plaice. The assignees, under
these circumstances, opposed Mr. Rapp's proof for
the sum alleged by him to be due, and the Lord
Chancellor would not suffe► hero to prove. Mr.
Rapp three brought his action against the assignees
in the Court of King's Bench, anti obtained the
opinion of that Court in his favour. Having thus
two different opinions, the assignees, to obtain a
review of the opinion of the Court of King's
Bench, brought the present action to recove► hack
from the present Defendant the sum of 4.0001. be-
ing the amount paid by Parry to him as profits
upon these pretended sales of wine, above the sum
advanced by him. The facts were admitted on
both sides. as proved in the former case of Rapp
and De Tastet, with this additional fact admitted,
namely, that at the time these transactions were
going on, Mr. Rapp was wholly ignorant of the
difficulties and embiarrassments under which the
house of Latham and Parry were labouring. A
special verdict VIVA accordingly taken for the Plain-
tiffs for 4,2811. subject to a reference, if, on the
question coining under the consideration of the
Court hereafter, thee Plaintiff's should be considered
as entitled to a verdict.

The Westmorlinid Reform Meeting took place
on Thursday, at Kendal, conven.d by the Earl
of THAWS?, hereditary High Sheriff.
At the Quarter St-s,ions at Kiittisford, on Time-
d.), last, all indictment was preferred. and • true
bill found against the Rev. JOSHUA IC ism, Rector
of the parish of Bethnal-green, and hi. brother,
Mr. BRYAN BIRO, of Woodchurch, in Cheshire,
fur a conspiracy to lay, and, in pursuance of such
conspiracy, for actually causing, and procuring to
be laid, certain quantifier of arsenic, opon the lands
of Sir THOMAS STANLEY. Bart. situate at Thurs.
taston.

The Inspector Ger.eral of the Irish prisons lately
visited a mansion of misery in G.lway, called a
" Bridewell," in which he found ten wretched wo-
men, one of whom wits incarcerated no Ira. than
twelve months, another eight months, and the re-
mainder several weeks, all being in fetters. " What
are their crimes ?" said he to the gaoler, naturally
enough. The gaoler knew not their crimes; he
had no written committals: all he could tell was,
that he had verbal directions from a town Magis-
trate to detain them, and that he detained them
accordingly ! The Inspector•Getseral ordered the
unhappy wretches to he liberated, and reported
their case to Government.

Herat[ !ASTER, Esq. the heir to the Rowton
Emotes in Shropshire, attained his 21st year on
Monday last. That the sentiments of respect and
esteem possessed by his late father, the Represetr-
tative of Shrewsbury. are inherited by his son, was
manifested by the universe! testimony on this occs-
sion. Twelve sheep were carried in procession
through the town, amid the clamour of bells one
was given by a lady to the poor of the Castle Fore-
gate; one by Mr. PRITCHARD Bud Mr. Scot.-
TOCK (in preference to the useless waste of illumi-
noting their own shops), to the poor of St. Chad's
Alms•houses; one by the spirited landlord of the
Hon. W. Htt.t.'s Arms; one by Mr. T. Wm°.
!No; one by Mr. Actor ; one by individuals in
Doglane, and the others, by a general subscription.
The latter were distributed at the following respect-
able Inns :--Cross Keys, Mirmsid, Old Post-Of-
flee, Castle and Falcon. Coach and Horses, Seven
Stars, &c. At these Inns societies of tradesmen
assembled ; and a superior provision was made at
the Lion bine where J. WILLIAM, Esy. presided.
Some good song" were sung; and the toasts com-
prehended theorems of the neighbouring families,
end the benefactors of the town and county. Many
tradesmen illuminated their. houses. The tenantry
on the ancient family estates, anxiously testified
their respect, by generosity to the poor neighbours.
The member of gas lights already in use in the
metropolis, amounts to 51,000. The total length
of maims in the street; through winch the gas is
conveyed from the gas light manufactories into the
houses. now measures 988 miles.
A report has recently prevailed that the memo-
rials transmitted to the PRINCE REGENT on behalf
of HINZ! STRNT have failed iu producing the ef-
fect so anxiously desired by his friends, and that
little hopes are entertained of his escaping the
punishment which the law directs to be inflicted on
such offenders. For this report we believe there is
no positive euthority : but we understand that it has
been deemed expedient to send in further dont.
meld; to prove that both the prisoner and his rela-
tives have lsboured under mental derangement.
The result of the deliberations of the Privy Council
cannot be known till the report of the Re‘weere
and the recommendation of the Jury by whom the
case was tried, shell be• commouicistod.—
