" GentMown of the Hong of Commons,
" I thank you for the supplies which you have granted me for
the service of the present year, and for the wisdom you have ma-
nifestell, of availing yourselves of the first opportunity to reduce
the interest of a part of the national debt, without the least in-
ftingement of parliamentary faith.
" It is most gratifying tome that you should have been enabled.
in consequence of this and of other measura, to relieve my people
front tome of their burthens.
" lily Lords and Gentle»ien,
" The distress which has for some months past pervaded a
considerable portion of lrelaad, arising principally from the failure
of that crop on which a great body of the population depends for
their subsistence, has deeply affected me.
" The measures which you have adopted for the relief of the
sufferers meet with my warmest approbation ; and seconded as
they have been by the spontaneous and generous &lots of my
people, they have most materially contributed to alleviate the
pressure of this severe calamity.
" I have the saiisfaetion of knowing that these exertions have
been justly appreciated in Ireland; and I entertain a sincere
belief that the benevolence and sympathy so conspicuously 'mai-
fested upon the present occasion, will essentially promote the
object which I have ever at heart, that of lementing the connec-
tion which subsists between every part of the empire. and of
uniting in brotherly love and affection all classes and descriptions
of my subjects."
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his Majesty's command, said—
" My Lords cia Gesetkntes.
" It is his Majesty's Royal will and pleasure, that this Par-
liament be prorogued to Tuesday the Bth day of October next,
to be then here holden ; and this Parliament is accordingly pro-
rogued to Tuesday the tel of October next.

Gen. GASCOYNE presented a petition from a numerous and
respectable body of merchants of Liverpool, complaining of the
non-acknowledgment of Columbian independence by the go-

attendance of members, but it was nevertheless his duty to ad-
vert to the petition. He was also sorry to see the government
represented as it was in that house, but be trusted that the
government would make some efforts. The Columbian audio-
ritiea had intimated to the Carrie of Europe, that unless their
independence was acknowledged, their ports would be shot
against the refusing powers. This bad the effect of extensively
suspending the commerce; but he trusted that the government
would see the policy of acknowledging the independence of
Celtriiibia. lie hoped the trade of England was not to be sa-
crificed to political etiquette.
Mr. LUSIIINGTON said that the question was one of great

STAFFontoslittiE MactsTaaTas.--At the Quarter Ses-

which did not belong to his master. On his return some

for stealing the net, and Lee was the principal witness

maistrate directed the jury to acquit him,and desid the
prosecutor to prefer a bill against the witness Lee.re The

ledge of it. lie was convicted, and the Chai
se sell-
tenced him to seven years' transportation. The .
verity
of the sentence in this case may probably excite a feeling
of surprise ; but that feeling will be a good deal dimi-
nished on learning that Lee was suspected by the magis-
trate of poaching ; and the Chairman actiially assigned its
a reason for so heavy a punishment, " that the prisoner
opened his house as a rendezvous for poachers." What
notion their Staffordshire worships may have of the rela-
tive enormity of crimes, we do not know ; bat it appears
a net
to us that seven years' transportation fur taking op
which a man finds in a field, is a disproportioteate punishas
ment, even supposing the offence to be clearly proved,
in this case it certainly was not. The (Whinging paragraph

LIMERICK ASSIZES.

ABDUCTION OF MISS GOOLD.
MONDAY, JULY 29.—.!'his barbarously and pre-emi-
nently atrocious case came on to be tried, which, when
commenced, all parts of the Court became instatteously
thronged with persons of the first disticuon, and conti-
nued until the verdict was announced.
The undermentioned persons were put to the bar in
the following order, as the principal cooperators in the
abduction :—Daniel Doody, John Cussen (this man went
• by the name of Walsh to Miss Goold), James Leahy,
Maurice Leahy (a very opulent farmer), Win. Doody,
David Leahy, and David itiedy.
Mr. Quin, as leading counsel for the Crown, rated
the case.
Miss Honnrah Goold was sworn, a young lady of
delicate figure, appeared to be about the age 01 sixteen;
she was in mourning dress, and gave her testimony cor-
rect and thstitict, interrupted roar/ by those bursts of
acute sensibility which the narration of the unparalleled
outrage committed upon her, caused in the recital of it
before the horn of justice. She deposed having lived
with her brother in the county of Cork, in the month of
March last; is now about lb years of age; recollects
Monday night, the 4th March; a party came to her bro-
ther's house on that night; four persons came into her
bred-room; she was in bed at the time; would know
some of the persons, if she saw them, who had come into
her room.
The young lady's attention was directed to look about,
and see if she knew any person or persons who had been
in her chamber. She immediately, and without hesita-
tion, identified John Walsh (who pleaded by the name
of John Cusco) and Daniel Doody. The persons who
had come into her room asked whether she was the
eldest, to which she replied, " No." She was advised
by those persons not to feel alarmed, as it was not her
they looked fur; they proceeded down stairs, but returned
in a few minutes, and again put the former question,
" %Vas she the eldest ?" answering it themselves, by say-
ing she was, and desired her to get up. One of the
party said to the rest," Come out of the room, and allow
her to dress herself,"—Cusaen said this. After she was
dressed in her usual way,one of the party came and took
her up in his arms, carried her out, and placed her before
a man named Browne, who was on horseback. It was
John Cussen (Walsh) who did so. Never saw Browne
before this night. They rode to the house of lirowne's
father, Daniel Browne; this took place entirely against
her will; it was very dark ; could not tell the hour.
There were twelve persons in the party, on horseback.
When they came near the house, the door was opened,
and a pillion was brought out and put on the horse. She
asked Browne, for God's sake to let her go—he replied
he would nut. She was then seated on the pillion, and
a inait's coat put around her. The party were travelling
the whole night, during which she frequently fell from
the horse, when they at length arrived at a public-house,
Browne still continuing before her, but could not tell
the landlord's name of the public-house. The woman
of the house heard her cry, and asked her name, for
which Guerin (one of the party) was going to strike the
woman. live awn cattle to the public-house along with
lirowne—the two in the dock she identified were of that,
number. Trey proceeded front thence to another house,
1). Leahy's, sett.; identified him in the dock. 'lbis was
on Tueplay morning, the sth. Cusses and Doody, the
prisoner, came there also. She was put by the kitchen
tire; James Leahy (identified him in the dock) told her
not to cry—that she ought to feel glad that it was no
blackguard who had taken her away; that lie was a
gentleman, and a man of education. She replied, that
she would never consent to marry him. She was next
taken into another roan), by whom she could not tell;
Leahy's wife, and a girl named Cahill, were there at the
time, and she asked Mrs. Leahy's leave to sleep along
with her. Browue and James Leahy, who had spoken
to her not to cry, came into the same room, and break-
fast was got ready—David Leahy (the father), his wife,
James (the son), Browne, and Mary Cahill, sat down to
breakfast—they pressed her to take some tea. When
breakfast was over, the whole party retired, leaving her
and Browne alone. Browne approached his chair to
her's, when she rose and ran to the door; Browne inter-
cepted her. He then proceeded to force oft her clothes,
when she screamed out for help, end "save me!" He
flirt' wanted her to go to bed, and threatened to expose
her to the outside party, amid
here the Court manifested a disposition that the young
lady might approach near the Bench, to tell any fact
pressing on her feelings.
Mr. Goold said she need not be particular, but would
only ask her one question, which he did, and she an-
swered in the affirmative.
Miss Gould was in tears at this stage of the trial, and
the deepest sympathy seemed to have pervaded through
all who beheld tier.
In this dwelling she stopped until Thursday, but in the
interval was taken, on Wednesday night, to an adjacent
cabin, and brought track on Thursday morning to
Leahy's, where the prisoner, James Leahy, was before
her, and domestics. She stopt until three o'clock on
I Itursday----David Leahy, jun. did accompany her to the
cant) (MeMlfie.l), dud this was against her will. She
was next removed to the house of Maurice Leahy (who
she identified in the dock, a comfortable farmer),
Browne along with her and David Leaky; this was also
against her will ; it was the distance of two miles
David Leahy's. She slept that night at M. Leahy's;
Browne slept with her ; she starlit there a day and night ;
saw Leahy's wife there, and also a matt named Connell;
she was then removed to Lane's house, Browne going
along wi It her, accompanied by the prisoner Maurice
Leahy, and a seivant man. She was next removed to
Alalmity's house, Browne still along with her, acconipa-
Sited by Maurice and James Leahy; and upon her oath
these removals were against her will. She stopped a day
and a night m time latter place, and was next taken to
bat id L.:atly's, oil Sunday, the first place where she hat
