DUBLIN. JAN. 22.
CLERI:SHO O THE PLEAS.

The Judges, on Tuesday, sat in the Court of
Error, for the purpose of pronouncing judgmetit
in this important ease, as to the right of the Chief
Bir of Col Exchequer to api t a person to the
oilier of Clerk of the Pleas, vacant by the death
of the Earl of Bisckitighttoushire, or whether the
right was vested in the 040,11. Judges Johnston
and Moore had delivered their opititonsin rayon, of
the Crown, when, we regret to state, the Chitf
Justice of the King's Bench was attacked with a
sudden, and. we tear, severe indisposition, which
caused an adjournment, without their coming to a
filial decision on the question.
Yesterday again this important case occupied the
Court of Error. Mr. Justice Fletcher, Mr. Jus-
tice (Mayne, and Nlr. Baron 51`Clelland delivered
their opinions upon it yesterday, which were in
favour of the Crown. It is supposed that Sir Win.
Smith, Mr. Justice Daly, and Mr. Burin) George,
will pronounce their judgments this clay, which
will conclude this case in the Court of Error.

EJST HOUSE, SZPTEMS2II 23.

. A Quarterly General Court of ProprietPrs of
East India SioCk was this day held at the Com-
pany's House in Lradenhall-street, in compliance
with the terms of the Charter. _ _

A variety of papers, chiefly relating to the Com-
pany's Civil and Military College. were laid before
the Court, in ptirsuance of the Resolutiou agreed
to by the General Court in April, 1809.
The CHAIRMAN (J. Pattison, Esq.) was then
on the point of putting the question of adjourn-
ment—when

Mr. K. isatiou rose, and stated, that it was Iris
wish to say a few worda, with regard to certain pa-
pers, which were ordered, at the last Court, to he
laid before the Proprietors. The papers to which
he alluded respected what was termed "• the charge
sgaihst Mr. Hudlestone." He had looked over
those documents with attention, aud, prepared as
he was to deliver his sentiments on the subject, lie
dud not think it would be quite right to enter into
it on a (lay like the present, when the Court war so
thinly attended. They ■ll knew, that, at this tie-
riot of the year, a great proportion of the Ptoprie.
tors were out (..f town, and it aerated to he ()illy
consistebt with that respect which they owed to Mu.
Hudlestone to have this delicate question mention-
ed, when, in the common course of things, a full
Court was assembled, or a Court of Proprietors was
specially convened for the purpose. Still. however.
he begged leave to ►ay, that, drill' a must careful
perusal of the papers laid before the Coon, he felt
that M:. Iladlestone stood before the Company
and the public with as much honour. with u high
and perfect a reputation, as that which he poosesss.l
the very first hour he offered himself for the Di.
rection. In saying this, he meant not to cast any
imputation on those gallant Officers (Cul. tVilks
and Sir J. Dallas) who were said to have made this
charge. The fact was, they had not done so. The
charge originated in another quarter—it ettisatettli
from the ciitic in a periodical work. Such bei►ig
hie heeling, he would certainly, at some future lie-
nod. submit a proposition to the Court, declaratory
of their complete conviction, that the character of
Mr. Hudlesione was in nowise impaired, it cotter.
quence of the publication to which he Fad advert•
ed, but that it stood as highs in their estimation as
it ever had done. He now wished to snake a few re•
marks on a matter of very great importance. lie
meant the warfare now carrying on in bolts. It was
hardly possible to (minder what had been done
during the campaign. without feeling the highest
respect sad gratitude to all the parties concerted.

ACCIDENT TO rH R SALISBURY
COACH.

Last night, about sesen o'clock, the Salisbury
coach, on its arrival its town, stopped in the vicinity
of Charing-cross, mid during tne temporary oh-
*cove of the driver (who, we understand. got 'alto
transact sonic business) the limits took fright at
some object, and set oil in full speed along the
Strand, to the Imminent danger of the passengers.
The horses could not be stopped until they ran
against the fence surrounding the open sewer at the
corner of Southampton-street, and were precipi-
tated into the abyss, a depth of twenty feet.—
The guard, who was behind, fortunately escaped
unhurt, by leaping off. There were four or live
men at work in the hole at the time, who fortunatel♦
escaped, by precipitately running into the open
sewer, which co►plies itself out of Southampton-
street into the Strand. By the weight of the
horses the arch of the maul sewer was broken in.
Of the four horses, three cleared the fence, and fell
into the excavation. Fortunately the traces were
broken by the sudden jerk, leaving the coach and
one of the wheel horses on the very brink of the
abyss. There was no passenger its the coach. Ii a
few minutes a great crowd were assembled ; the
military guard immediately arrived front tht Savoy,
and formed a circle to keep back the mob. By
great trouble mid exertion the harness was loosened ;
a crane was erected to get out the horses, iu the exe-
cution of which, three of the large scaffolding poles,
that were erected to support the ponies, g►ve way,

in Pall-mall, the imbibition of a magnificent col-
lection of ancient amour, with his presence. Ilia
Imperial Highness's attention, on entering the spa-
cious Hall, which is near 90 feet in length, was
attracted to the araIIHM of Henry IV. of France,

which induced him to inquire Islip the modeller

lochs deep, and let the buttons of it he antSciently capaci.

inches deep all over it. Put another cloth around that
which contains the cream, to keep the dirt from it. When
deposited in the hole cover it up with earth (but du slot
tread it down) and let it remain 24 or 26 hours ; then
lake it out and pear the cream, which will now be very
thick, into a bawl or other vessel, and stir it well from Gee
to tea minutes with • wooden spoon or ladle, when the but-

been eitpcbeeil to their allselo, and that they are
prosecuting with double seal the measures which
the plague and their internal divagations lied for
a time stopended.
Though it seems that the Spanish flag hes no-
thing to fear, precautions egainot their attacks are
however making. It is affirmed that negociatiosis
to this efffct have been opened in London ; it were
to be wished that their result might be as speedy as
the danger is imminent.
Meantime a plan is carrying on to overturn the
Government of Tunis by means of a descendant of
a certain My Bey, who was taken and beheaded by
the Algerines 1757, when they conquered
Tunis.

The Pretender affirms that he has friends in the
neighbouring State, who only wait for his arrival to
receive him with open arms, end to place him on the
th►one of his fathers. He has already gone to put
the affair in train ; 2,000 Turkssird a numerous body
of Arab cavalry, commanded by the Ages and the
Bey of Coustasnina, are shortly to join him. It is
well known that peace and friendship have long
subsisted between Algiers and Tanis, and the latter
Government has done all it could to preserve the
good will of the Dey of Algiers by ',resents.—
Nevertheless, the Algerian enter the Tunisians ter-
ritory as enemies, without a previous declaration
of war.

The plague has at length abated its ravages :
the mortality is now from live to eight persons
daily. The Dry, whose mildness is still praised,
is going to send an Atub issador to London, "to
tie still closer the bonds of friendship at present sub-
sitting with Great Bilitant, and probably to request
the neutrality of Great Britain in the new piracies
which are intended." This is singular, Great Bri-
toil', like other European States, has concluded
Treaties with Algiers, Tunis, &c. which it maintains,
as Lord Exmouth's expedition proves. It is not
stipulated in them that it is to be the champion
of other States. There, as every where else, the
word is •' Help yourself;" or establish legal refs.
tions by Treaties, o► juin with such as are stronger,
if you have not strength enough to protect yourself.
If the English, who area put of de European
family, will not receive those who have a mind to
join with them, there is in the Mediterauran su
American squadron with which common cause may
be made, or other arrangements agreed upon for
protection against the pirates. Nothing has yet
transpired respecting the effects of the steps taken
ou this subject by the Diet at Frankfurt.—(Hase-

a cannonade was openid from the Peishwah's
guns, which did little execution, and soon
after the line was surrounded by wept bodies iff
cavalry coming so at speed. The Ist, 7th na-
tive infantry, which was drawn elf from the left of
the line, by the eagerness of the noes► to attack a
battalion of Gala's, was charted while separated,
but completely beat off the attack, and the de-
notogentent was promptly repaired by Colonel Burr,
who immediately joined the 'corps, and by his cool-
ness and promptitude speedily extricated it fiom
its perilous situation. The horse motioned to
'hover round In dirge Millen until the end of the
affair, hut were deterred, by Colonel Burr's skit-
Int amingementi, from any more attempts to Atirge.

of our brigade in this affair amounts to about

Dickshut is among the idled. The Peishwah is
now on the hill of Parbutty, immediately to the
ninth of Poona, and his troops are do the side of
the town opposite to this place, much dishearten-
ed. There are so many objections to attacking the
town, and so little could now be done by pursuing
the Peishwah's troops, Without attacking it, that
Lieutenant-Colimel Osborne, who Orlive4 yester-
day evening and took the command orthe brigade,
has determined to remain in his present position un-
til the arri►al of Genend Smith, who may be ex-
pected in • week or ten dap. Unfortunate as a
quarrel with the Peishwali may be at this moment,
I have no doubt rah 'Lordship will think it was
inevitable. It was evidently meditated at the time
of the Peislinali's promises of cordial aid, and had
lately hems advanced too far to leave his Highness
any hope of averting it by professions or explana-
tions. It is, therefore, a happy circumstance that
his Highness should have thrown off the mask be-
fore he had made env progress in his intrigues With
our native army.. Nothing could exceed the zeal
of the sepoys in the affair of yesterday. I shall
have the honour of transmitting Lieutenant-Colonel
Burr's report as soon as I receive it. I beg leave
to point out to your Excellency the great zeal and
exertions of that officer, in removing the ammini-
tion, stores, and provisions, to the new ground, and
in all the preparations requisite for opposing the
Peishwah's army. Your Excellency will judge
from his own report, of leis conduct in the action
that followed, and will, I have no doubt. be of opi-
nion, that it was owing to his great coolness and
judgment that he was enabled to give so serious •
ciieck to the Peishwah, anal so great a change to
public opinion in this part of India, with so little
loss to our own troop..

that it was found most beneficial to leave the discre-

Y'RENCH CONSPIRACY.

Hitherto various teports on this subject have con-
curred in representing that a treasonable plot has
been formed by the Royalist party; and the French
Minister of Police, M. De Case, seems to have
given • confirmation to this idea, by the arrests
which he has directed in Paris, and by the articles
which lie 1113 suffered to appear in the French
Newspapers. A new light, however, is thrown
on the transaction by sonic letters which have ap-
peared in a Morning Papers, signed " A Roy*ha,"
and accusing M. de Care himself of being the real
conspirator. This Koyali,t, who is well known,
dist:milt. charges the Minister of Police with being
the author of certain letters from Paris, which have
appeared in the Private Correspondence of The
Times, and which manifestly implicate the French
Princes and the Noblemen about them in the charge
wf TreJsun. It is a serious imputation on the good
faith of M. deCase, to assert that he resorts to such
underhand methods of injuring the Royal Family ;
and, of coarse, that Minister must feel himself
c.sllrd upon publicly to Fetid the imputation.—
Esther, therefore, he will do an iii the must unequi-
vocal manner, or the public d will be led to
conclude that there is UM much foundatioti for the
swain 111 l s of the Gentleniun who signs himself
" A Royalist."

LINES TO MEMORY-WRITTEN IN AFFLICTION

Memory! why still wilt thou obtrude
Why force thy physic on my weariest brain,
That late bath felt the shock of tempests rude,
And sigh. fur shelter, but yet sighs in trails!
Memory ! I woo thee not—thou'rt not the friend
Of his whose sunny day of life is past;
Mows sorrow Now, and carts, mod solitude attend;
lagratitudes black cloud and overwhelming blast.

Cease, then, thy tyranny, officious Power—
Cease to imbitter thus my sad sojourn ;
Thou shew'st me many a past and pleasant hour,
But tell'st me they are gone; sh! never to return
Away then, Memory! nor more my peace beeet—
Come then, Oblivion, come ! and teach me to forget.

IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.

We are happy to hear that the audacity of the
pirates, who Imre during the last year so Much in.
terrupted the trade of this country, under the pre-
tence of the hostilities between Spain send her Co.I
• s, has at last attracted the attention of ou►
Government, mid that orders have been issued to
bring these offenders to justice. ‘Ve annex a copy
of what we understand to be a Circular Order to
our Admirals on foreign stations, on this important
subject, and we have little doubt that they will not
he slow in carrying these instructions into effect,
as they have been eye-witnesses of the interruptions
to which our trade has been exposed by these ma-
rauders, am! which we have been so often obliged
to notice. Our readers will see that of course these
orders do not apply to the bona iftle shops ol any
State or Government whatsoever, but only to those
who make a pretence of the South American trou-
bles, to carry on a war of plunder upon the trade
of all nations, and particularly of that nation whose
trade is the most important and extensive.
