AAOTHER LAGAL DIFFICULTY.

CUMBERLAND ASSIZES.

We lately noticed the emeiseraranient experienced
in csioarqueoca of the Conmissinn fot the Assizes
of Gloucester not locriog been opened on the pre..
scribed day. Another difficulty, but not of the
mune kind, has recrusly occurred at Carlisle. The
following are the particuliirs:
011 entering the Court on Saturday Morning.
Mr Justice Ilsitt.i.T made some obseivations on
the weight of business wheel' he saw by the cause
list was to coare before the Court in which he pre.
sided. He end he h-rststori that much diumutist.
firemion existed I. spectiimic the shortness of time
1411.41 load hero allow.rl for the present As.izes.
lie would explain the reason. Wheti the Judges
wet together, Nod erromiged the Circuits, it was
thougiit flint recent events (the Election) io this
ands tarighlrourtog county, would 1110111:11 reduce
time busimmessr, and ilia: was the only reason why
KO short a period of tone had (retell fixed upon.
It seemed limit tbis boopositioo was ill-founded es
it respected Cututirrland, and he was:moutons to do
all in his power to settiedy the defect. lie was wil-
hog to sit ill Carlisle, trod try the civil causes,
while Bs Wood proceeded to Appleby alone,
and executed the Commission there, if this cotwer
should !prove egrereble to Counsel ; ur„ he wouldca return to Cutlisle, utter the business at Lueisler
Ind closed.

Mr. Sc•itLETT, and several.other learned gentle.
anti, of the bar, said, that return;,';; from Latices.
ter to Carlisle wow out of the question—they could
do sal such thing—mid they hoped that the business
wilittel he gone through Ly Wednesday evening.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY replied, that whenever was
agreeable to the Counsel, would also be agreeable
to him ; he was nuly anxious that the !sorties who
had matters at issue in ihat Court, should be ena-
bled to get them suittletl.
Mr. Baron Woe* fists the business of the
Crown Court on Monday night, and seuteeeeed the
isrieweirea sou Timid*, morning. He occupied the
remainder of the day in trying Nisi Prias causes,
sent from the oilier Court. Ost ‘Vedneselay morn-
nig hr set oft for Appleby. where he merited the
Commission in the evening ; before his departure, he
reprieved all the prisoners under sentence of death.
Wednesday evening, at the rising of Mr. Justice
BAYLEY, diem still remained Sprciel Joie oneness
fur trial, Millorra aid Others v. lie Whelpdale—
Hodgman v. liaruise sad Another—sad homptoa
v. (:owan, each likely to occupy a considerieleit
time. • The lending Counsel declared that ih
would not remain—their presence being required
A melt ley. •
Mr. Justice Barittirreid, he could not pre
them from going, certainly, but he was bound to
try the rental tt itt g creases if the parties wished it,
and iu the morning lie would he ready to liter the
respective attorneys, if they desired to go on.
The Court WAS opened on Thursday morning,
and the Counsel did not attend. Mr. MouNnY
appeared in Court. ready to go on in the case of
Milburn v. 1)e Whelpdak Mr. BLEAVNIIIS was
also ready, but he felt disiiicluied to I •retl, from
a wish that his Client should have the beeirlit of ex-
perienced Connie% In consequence it was deter-
unned to tulle this caus.e and %Aura/mon v. Gowan
to Lancaster.
Mr. Justice BATLEY left Carlisle fur Appleby in
the course of the day.
A great Humber of witneises had been waiting in
the town f the eminence went or the Assizes, at
as enormous expense, iodepelidesit of ihe iiiconve-
seietece and cost of prolonging the litigation. Mr.
Justice Bayley was fully sensible of the hardship,
and expressed great regret.
Fifiy.six eati.e, were entered for trial ; artflit of
which were Special Jury muses.--esid two of these
are removed to Lancaster.
A meeting of Mirka" took place at the Both
ut which were present *rectal residing in Car-
lisle, mid nearly ell from the other parts of -the
county. It was agreed that a deputation of At-
torneys should, on Monday, wait upon the Grand
Jury. to express to them their opinion that the As-
sizes ought to be held in this county twice a year. A
deputation eceordingly waited upon the Growl
Juyy, who, after considering the subject, unani-
mously cause to a resolution iii favour of a Spriiig
Assize. The Grand Juries of Northumberland and
Durham, at the late Assizes held us those counties,
clime to vimilar resolutions.

The g►eat political contest in Westmorland sees.
to occupy the minds and t.sgitate the passions of
the Kendal men at this time as strongly as during
the election. The confidence of Mr. BROUGHAM'S
Mends is very greet. One very striking symptom
of failure on the part of the Lowther family, is the
forced production of a new paper to advocate their
cause.

Tim whole of the capital convicts nt Guildford
ilaaisea, 32 it► 'mother, have arrived at the gaol in
llorsemonger-laue ; all of whom liner been re-
prirvrd, • iicept err, fur forgrry, and

BETWEEN CARLISLE AND THE SOLWAY Mint

On Tuesday last a numerous and most respectable
Meeting was held at the Town Hall in Cotlisle, for
the purpose of deteron. g upon the adoption of
the line recommended by Mr. Chaptipm in In+
Report, and to enter into a subscription bit shares,
in order to be prepared to apply for an Act of
Parliament in the next Session.
The Earl of LO.aDALE ilaVing taken the °weir—.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, after muting what 1:4.1
taken place in reference to the Canal since the f:
Meeting held on the snliject, tamed that the
port of the Sub-Comtuittre be read; which was rend
accordingly. and received with much approbation.
Sir JAMES again rose. He said it gave him great
pleasure that it fell to his lot to propose a residua/0i
having for its object the confirmation and adoption
of the able Report of Mr. Chapman-41,d he felt
convinced that all who had perused it attentively
would agree with him in opinion, that a more sans.
factory document in reference to such an untie:tali_
dug could not be expected or produced. It was
clear from Mr. 'Chapman's, ard still more clear
from the excellent Report of the Seib-Committee
which bud just been read, that the project of s Canal
from Carlisle to the Solway Frith has on!y to is
put in execution, to be completely successful. If
any one had a doubt of this fact up to the rest tit
moment, they would henceforth doubt no langt.r.
For his part, lie had always entertained the ereate.r,
confidence of success. He bud all along em,rtioiit mt
an opinion that a Canal would nut only prove of in.
calculable advantage to Carlisle and the surrou, d.
ing country, but would, be a source of relit to
those who subscribed towurds its constructioa ;11'1
now felt satisfied that this would be the ease. At
the commencement of this business, there we e
various opinions as to the hoe of Canal. Tine
object of appointing a Committee, and getting a
survey made, was to ascertain what. line would be
most proper. Mr. Chapman had incontestably
proved, and his testimony wee confirmed by the
Nets collected by the SubsCouirnittee, tle:t the
termination of the Canal at Fisher's Cross, teas
prefernble, no well as much less eXpetisive, e all
carrying it on to Maryport: The Corn in; ttee op.
poioted for the purpose having approved of tl e
,r-
-commendation of Mr. Chapman, the husines,
the present Meeting then would be not to speculate
upon this or theft line, but to coofirm or rejoet
the film which had been chosen--and he ti tiered
that the company present would be unanimous
their approval of it. lie felt uncommon pleasnt;-
its statement, that subscriptions to the imieeer
of 30.0001 had been obtained in Carlisle nlai.c. it
11,111. Clear from tine most important feet, thi.t
Soh-Committee had nut neglected their duty.
Baronet then read a iertrig
which were afterwards separately put, and ilea, .•,
wirnisly cariied.
Oti the messing of the first Rese'.eion, rt.
CuawaN said, when Line subject ass ti. al inns r:1
there might hove been some points of diftereoce as
to the precise line, but that was tint now the eics-
lima. He was couvinced.. that whatever hoe oils
adopted it could not fail of being beneficial to even-
class of the community. Every man mutt me.
that a carmen/re,: emainunicatiou by er4tes woe
:nii;
produce lecreased activity in almost every imp -
tint branch of trade ; its belie tidal influence would
extend from the manufacturer down to the ineamet
labourer. He had formerly held an opinion, awl
he wss of the 'nine opinion still, that by lllralla
a Canal, end most particulurly if extended tos
Newcastle, the agriculture of this district would lie
very much benefited. lu years of !dewy, the
sus plus quantity of grain might he sent to mere
distant markets; and in years of scarcity, the im-
portations, which are always mode from the Baltic,
might be sent to Carlisle in depot, and hence
spread over on extensive tract of country, and even
to Ireland, very much to the public benefit.
After the remainder of the Resolutous hod
beets passed, subscription !tapers were handed
iound. The Noble Chairman put his name dimwit
for 5,0001. When the hat was read ote.r. it er.
peered that 43 0001. hod been subscribed. Tie
announcemeset weereceived with great apphinse.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM—" Gentlemen, is a
glorious day ! We shall not he afraid of yet a ar-
rying the Canal to Newcastle."
Some additional subacriptionv were here handed le.

Mr. CUSWEN—" The suns wanted in ord. r ti.
obtain au Act to. 1 believe, 50,0001. We are .hint
of thus sum only 12,3001. which will be isiwd
without soy difficulty. There can. be no doubt
now that the uudertakit.g will go forward—Jiol I
'mit and hope that all the advantages, which h..ir
been calculated upon. will he realized." ,
The Thanks of the hireling were ufterwards
voted to the Chairman, sod the Meeting broke !v..
