SFR Trlnsr 4; Tr Nr, in pursuance of his notice, called the
atteiiiiin. of the lit,n-e II) the &object of the case of Ali Hossein,
;ate I'r'ore of the Cam:die. The Honourable Baronet divided
hi. tte,nt t ions into Iwo parts; the one expressive of the melon-
rhol I int of that Prince ; the other al -o ex pres:ive of the senii-
rn-nt• of that i I ouse, teat they did not participate in, or approve
the question 'whet put upon the first resolution, the
House divided—for it I l—against it :Cc—majority against it VS.
SIR S.ltll El. 1.0411.1. v spoke in support of the second reso-
lution. lie entered into a lung and very able review of Ow
virious farts and circumstances attending the deposition of the
N ;OW) of the c:irliatie, and, trim a review of the whole ease,
be cow rive it hi,rse:f justified in prootomeing it an act of uqjusti-
liable ambition, li Irdlx to be paralleled by any of those acts of
violence which we 11,,t1 lately witnessed on the Continent of
Europe. This tesolti ion, therefore, should meet with his de-
cided support, inastnut as it 'expressed those ideas of British
policy which, in his opinion. might to be pursued, and pledged
this country to afford that redress to the injured sufferers, which
was now within their power.
Loan Citert.wn ',Ann conceived that the House, after a deli-
berate exasni;tition during two separate discussions, had already
come to a fair decision a negativing the charge of injustice and
criminality. Did the Learned Gentleman think that by the
Caw which he had endavoured to make out, he should be able
to induce the House to revise the vote and decision which they
had already come to ? The Noble Lord then adverted to the
great length of time during which the charge was suspended.
The Noble Lord then entered upon a long reply, contending,
that even previous to the examination of the witnesses, Lord
Wellesley bad made up his mind with regard to the treasonable
proceedings of the Arcot Family. He conceived that a Govern-
*tient might justifiably adopt a great measure of policy, thoueli
they were not prepared, nor perhaps able to prove the hostile
intentions of the enemy by sorb proofs as were admissible in a
Court of Justice. The Noble Lord then tidVerted to the letter-
*at passed between the Nabob Wallajah and Tippoo
which he contended were of a political nature, and hostile to
our Indian interests. With regard to the reasons of this
treacherous correspondence with Tippoo, he Was disposed t.•
ascribe them to impatience of British influence that was not
unnatural, and also to h principle Of religious bigotry and
at-
tachment. The Noble Lord then proceeded to support at great
length the liaeofpolicy pursued' by the Marquis of WellesleN
with respect to The Commie, anecoticludcd by giving his de-
cided negative to the Resolution.
A division took place, when there • appeared► against the
..Re-
solution, 97—For it, 19.

Ma. 11".nr.rre then proposed a Resolution to this effect :
"That the Niarquis"Wellesley, in his conduct towards the Na-
bob of the Carnatic, had been actuated solely by a regard to the
merest of the British Li:Tire in India."
'A division took place On the original motion of Mr. Wallace,
when there appeared--:-Fot the motion, 94—Against it, 19. Ad-

MANCH rsTEn, Jv e e 15. Parties of the weavers again as•
sembled yesterday, at and near the New Cross, and in New wa-
hine ; but they dispersed peaceably., after being cautioned by
the General sent hither to col 1111 l and the troops tSir C. Kess,
believe) who humanely ads ised them to return to their employ-
ment, lest a contrary conduct should subject them to disagreeable
consequeuces. Every thing has been tranquil during this day.
Yestesday, it is generally reported and believed, a large bony
of refractory weavers met upon Cheadle Muss, and indicated
tither a riotous disposition; hut the appearance of a troop of
cavalry produced the effect of dispersing them, though not tenth
s veral men had been apprehended. A weaver from Ashton-
under-line, w ids hom I conversed this morning, inform• me
that nearly all the workmen in that town and neighbourhood
have returned to their looms, and that all is again as quiet as
before the disputes commences& From other places similar ac-
counts are brought in hourly; so that it is hoped the busi-
ness is draw* to an amicable close. Not only our Magis-
trates and Civil 011icers, but the Military stationed here, merit
every possible praise fur their unremitting exertions during this
Asagreeable dispute. They base, in every instance, displayed
the utmost humanity and perseverance.
TitoTriNGs‘lAlruH.-.41 has been made known, that a horse,
the property of %Ir. Progers, which a few weeks since was sold
h,r seven guineas, was backed to trot sesemeen miles in one
hour. The distance has very rarely been performed, ale,,ough
the wonderful snare called the Phenomena, once did nineteen
miles within an hour. 'I he stake for this match wash/Jib kundis•rd
acid life pounds to on. ha/a/re-Q. The horse started w Ith a seven
stone jockey at sigh: o'clock yesterday morniag, at Holies-
. Oven, lierv., to go o,ter some picked ground. The animal

went half the distance in two minutes above half the time, mid
the nest two miles was performed at a winning rate. After th,
horse had done twelve miles he began to and the match wa
lost after fourteen miles had been performed in forty-twt
minutes.

The present season promises to be the greatest for fruit ever
remembered in this kingdom. As the fruit trees did not blossom
till the spring was nearly over, no frost or nipping blasts fbi
lowed •to destroy them in the bud. This is certainly but ..
secondary object in our vegetation, but we may likewise antici-
pate a plentifill summer, and an abundant harvest.
