DUBLIN,' MARCH 10, 8 O'CLOCK.
Mr. Keogh's party ne indefatigable in their ex-
ertions to counteract the tendency of Major Bryan'S
resolution, which had been- unanimously carried at
the • late .Aggregate Meeting. This day the Ro-
man Catholic inhabitants, of
.the parish of St.
cholas Without, were-summoned, through rite in-
fluence of Mr. Keogh .to meet at Francis-street
Chapel, and it transpired, in the course of the day,.
' that the design of assembling the parishioners was,
to prevail on. them to agree to certain resolutions
expressive of the precipitancy of addressing the
Prince Regent to remove the Duke of Richmond
and his Secretary from the Irish Government.
The Gentlemen of the opposite party took the
alarm, and attended with such considerable nume-
rical strength as induced, the friends of Mr. Keogh
to p-ropose an adjournment until the fdllowing day.
The proposal was agreed to. It is intended to call
parochial meetings in till Oft parishes of Dublin,
and when the Catholics shall have expressed in de-
tail their dissent from the precipitate resolution of
Major Bryan, to call Another aggregate meeting
for the purpose of resol-Viiig, that an Address to
the Prince Regent to remove the Duke of Richmond
or Mr. Pole would be inexpedient.

The following are at the head of the Deputation appointed
to present the Catholic Address to the Prince Regent :
Earls Shrewsbury, Fingal, and Kennare ; Viscounts Cor-
manstown, Netterville, and Soiithwell . lLer.is Trim blebtown
and Fretich • Sirs Thonsas Esmond, Edward •Bellew, Hugh
O'Reilly, Thomasßurke, and Francis Gould, Baronets ; Major-
General O'Farrell, Colonel Burke, &c.

A number of non-commissioned Officers of good
character, belonging to regiments in Portugal, who
have distinguished themselves in that country and
Spain, have been appointed to commissions in the
Portuguese service.
The Committee of Lords to whom it has been
referred to consider in what w,ly the business of
the Court of Chancery may be expedited sat on
Tuesday last. We understand they are unani-
mously of opinion, that the Loan CHANCELLOR
should tontinue_to be the Speaker of the • House of
Lords ; as it is of the last importance that Appeals
from the Courts below should be laid before the
• highest authority in the law.: It is not in this way,
therefore, that the LORD CHANCELLOR can be as-
sisted—but, it is said, the. idea alluded to some
time ago, is entertained favourably, namely, that
he should-have the aid of two Masters of the Rolls
-.7--one of -whom would have the title of Vice-Chan;
cellor, with higher functions than the other, who
• would still have- the name of Master of the -Rolls
but, between them, the LORD CHANCELLOR would
be eased of a ccmsiderable+art of his most fatiguing
duty.
By a late. decision, of' the bard of Taxes (by
which the shopkeepers in Stickton have been bene.
fited), a shop window, or front, a glazed door in
the centre (the whole being in one frame) and the
posts, or partitions between the .doer sod the side
windows not being of .the breadth of, twelve:
, inches, is' to be considered chargable 4:4%4

risprudence was long in whit of such an additiOn. to it, as this

there -should -he three tompetent persona selected and appointed
for the Purposes of the. Act, which would then render appeal to
other judges wholly unnecessary. His Lordship noticed the
nlaus'erwfiieli directed the oaths to be.taken by Debtors on sur-
Tenderilg their property and delivering in their schedules, con-
tending that it would be snich better to have them examined

tor deliver itrthe schedule, and then attest the truth of them

revolyedintis mind, long previous to the Introduction of the
141, the'qesession whether one or more .hedges should 'sit in the

fronfthose most capable of giving it, he found that the Judge •
vr-s infinitely prefirable to a great number, as, in truth, he
would have little flee to advert to, or to adjucate, these mere
yiyittersof Net.. His Lordship urged a variety of remarks on
ether parts Of the Bill; as did Lord Holland, the Marquis of
Landsdowne, and 14e Lord Chancellor, and. the W.I went

" Prowled- always, that nothing in this Act shall extend,,
or be construed to extend, to compel any Catholic or Dissenting
soldier to attend any places of religious worship against his inch-
station; Or to prevent any Catholic or Dissenting soldier from
attending his own place of religious worship as long as the said
attendance at such place of religious worship Cloth not interrupt
or interfere with his duty as a soldier."
On the question being put,
The Earl oT LIVER rdol. objected to it, on the ground that it
was whoßy..unnecessary, because no grievance had been proved
to exist front the law on that hirad prevailing as it did, but es-
pecially as it is a well known fact, that neither compulsion or
yet-prevention was exercised towards either the Catholic'or the
Dissenting soldier throughout the whole army. His Lordship
also added, that on the contrary, when an illustrious person-
age, then sitting near him (his Royal Highness the 'Duke of
York), Was in power, and held a high situation in the controul
of the army, he directed general orders to issue, allowing the
Catholic soldier the indulgence which was now sought by the
clause aubmitted by the Noble Earl, and the practice has ever
since preVailed.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNa then urged, that as it was
allowed to be the practice, there could be nu sound reason why
it should not also have the sanction of law.
Earls SPENCER and ROSSLYN spoke to the same effect, and
Lord I..avraroot-replied. The House then divided, Contents 11
—Non Contents 22—Lost by a majority of 11.
The other clauses were severally agreed to, and the Report

Mr. PERCF.VAL moved the Order of the Day for referring
the Report on the subject of Commercial Credit to a Corn•.
mittee of the whole tiouae. The Syealy.tr having left the
Chair,
Mr: PER CEVAL rose and observed, that in xibmitting to the
Committee the result of the Inquiry iiitu the state of Commer-
cial Credit, and in proposing the adoption of the measure recom-
mended by the Committee up stain, he was perfectly. ready to
admit that, as a general principle, Parliamentary interference
in these cases was to be avoided, such interference would bt

vident speculation wonld in some measare be removed. If Par-
liament should interfere at all, it was desirable that the remedy
