voured ! And where does this excels misery
and woe `exi-t ? In a place unapproachable by
Christian men, or at too great a distance fur im-
mediate relief ? No, but, in a Christian land,
alnong men calling themselves Christiana and
not at the extremity of the British Tispire,
but within a few days' journey from the capital
itself! What we are to think of those who, know-
ing the distress of their. countrymen—their Irish
countrymen—who having the means not only of
foreseeing the calamity which has befallen them,
but of preventing it ; or had it ha!)pened in conse-
q rence of some extraardinary convulsion of nature,
unexpected and unforeseen, had the means of alle-
viating it, and yet have not afforded relief, but
passed it by " on the other side," and left the
" exercise of mercy," and the " sacrifice of charity,"
to the Samaritan English—neither we, or any one,
(sin be at any loss ; but language is as incapable of
giving expression to the indignation and horror with
which we are filled, as to our earnest desire that relief
should be speedily and effectually atimin'stered to
those to whom life has become misery, and existence
impossible, without a supply of human subsistence.
For years past our ears have been dunned with ques-
tions re,pecting Ireland—the grievances of Ireland,
—the rights of Ireland, &c.; and it has been con-
.tantly preached up, that every thing that is bad in
Ireland has been caused by English misrule, and
that nothing is wanting to Ireland but a repeal of
the Union, to make her a land overflowing with
peace, and prosperity, and plenty, instead of being
the scene of rags, and filth, and wretchedness; but
much, as, we are willing to allow, has been the mis-
chief done to Ireland by the misrule of that Tory
faction which is now about to expire, there is no
truth more certain,—no fact more capable of unan-
swerable proof,—than that full three-fourths of the
real grievances and misery of Ireland are to be attri-
buted to her own heartless aristocracy, and that but
for England, her population would have been, not
once, but often, allowed to die from want. 'Even
so would it appear to be now. There is abund-
ance in Ireland to feed the hungry, to clothe the
naked, and to minister to the sick,—but the hearts
are few that are willing, and the hands but sparing
among those who are able. Nay, so utterly insen-
sible are the majority of the Irish landlords to the
distress around them, that the cry of distress is al-
lowed to reach our island, and the misery of those
whom they ought to have supported, permitted to
find the warmest sympathy in the British capita!!
To conclude, however, let relief be given according
to every one's means, arid when our Irish brethren
have been rescued from the jaws of death, let a
public meeting be held on the subject, that every
one may have an opportunity of giving vent to the
indignation and horror which is universally felt at
conduct so reckless, and so unfeeling; so depraved
end so barbarous.—Morning Advertiser.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 11.

Ex-PARTE INGE, IN THE MATTER OF CATHERINE.

HALL, CAMBRIDGE.
Sir C. WETHERELI„ on the part of the College,
applied for time to make the affidavits which had
been suggested by the Lord Chancellor at the hear-
ing of this matter.
Sir E. SUGDEN had no objection, provided the
time was limited.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the case required to
be well considered. He did not intend to give his
judgment until the week al:er next, and he took
this opportunity of saying, that if his opinion
should be against Mr. Inge (not however meaning
to say that it would be so), he thought it well for
that gentleman to submit to the examination which
he had before declined, on the supposition that he
had aftight so to do. With respect to the evidence
he had required, he wished it not to be of a general
satire, but applying, as strictly as possible, to the
peculiar case of the College Fellowships.

COURT OF ICINc;a4RENCH, JUNE 11.
14..0$0111"? "EX-PARTMSKiLi.

Sir J. SCARLETT moved for a rule to show cause
why a criminal information should not be filed
against Mary Cropp, the printer and publisher Of
the Bolton Chronicle, for a libel in that paper on
Mr. Henry Gaskell, an attorney, of Wigan, in Lan-
cashire. The Learned Counsel said; that Mr.
Gaskell had stated in his affidavit that he was a
burgess of the borough of Wigan, and generally
acted as solicitor for one of the candidates, some-
times for two, at the elections of Members of Parlia-
ment for that borough. At the last election' May 4,
the candidates were Messrs. Wilbraham, Hodson,
Kearsley, Thickness, Potter, and Hardcastle. On
the morning of the election a great mob, amounting
to 10,000, assenab!ed, headed by a person who
called himself Colonel of King William's National
Guards, who compelled some of the burgesses to
vote as they plea•ed, and beat arid bruised other,.
One man had lost his life from the treatment he re-
ceived. The mob prevented Mr. Kearsley himself
from going to the place of polling, tied threatened to
tear him limb from limb, and he was obliged to
keep within doors fur six hours afterwards. Some
time after they proceeded to his house and broke
the windows. They went to the house of Messrs,
Price and Co., and broke open and entered into
the house, and destroyed several articles, and stole
others. On the 23d of May one of those who had
stolen the articles was apprehended for felony, and
committed to the borough gaol. On the 30th of
May a mob again assembled and demanded the li-
beration of the person confined, forced open the
gaol, took out the man, and paraded him through
the streets. Mr. Gaskell had received intimation
that his house was to be burnt next, and therefore
he took the precaution to put it into as good a state
of defence as he could, and he also employed people

borough, who had seen it, thought it related to Mr.
Gaskell when it spoke of some person who had
employed spies, and who had written an anonymous
letter, having for its object to excite the mob to
excesses, in order to give the old vies something
to say against Riform. The Learned Counsel here
read the article, which purported to be from a cor-
respondent. The strongest motives to excess
had been held out to the people of %Vigor',
that spies had been employed among them;
and then, after talking. of boroughmongers and
plundering the public, the correspondent stated that
he himself had seen an anonymous letter, addressed
to the men of the Scholes News-room, encouraging
them to go on with their riots and excesses, and
promising that they would be protected. This
letter, the correspondent added, purported to be
sent by a trader in %litigate, who was manifestly a
traitor. The editor of the Paper commented on
this supposed correspondent's letter, and after cau-
tioning the people against these traitorous devices of
the boroughmongers, the editor observed, that the
office of the tradesman of Mitigate might, perhaps,
be found not 100 miles from the Three Crowns
public-house in that street,—that what sort of a
tradesman he was remained to be seen, and that
