RISFi ATTORNIES AND SOLICITORS

We have great pleasure in inserting the fol-
lowing Address from the Attornies and Solicitors
of Ireland, to that learned and 'upright Judge,
the Right Hon. Wm. DOWNES, Chief Justice of
the Court of King's Bench, with his Answer
to it :

To the Right lion. .11,-Nt. DowNr.3, Chief Justice of his
Majesty's Court of King's Bench, in Ireland.
Pursuant to a Resolution unanimously adopted at a General
Meeting of the Profession, held on the 11th of Feb. 1822,
We, the Attornies and Soli':.itors of Ireland, beg leave most
respectfully to avail ourselves of the opportunity which your
Lordship's retirement from the judicial seat presents, of ex-
pressing the deep sense we entertain of the
,many virtues by
which your public and private life has been so long and so emi-
nently distinguished.
In concurrence with all who have observed the exalted qua-
lities of your Lordship's character, the dignity, patience, talent
anti integrity, with which your high judicial functions have
ever been exercised, we lament that your state of health has
deprived the public of so incorruptible a Judge, and the Pro-
fession of so pure a Guardian.
We trust that your Lordship may long enjoy all the blessings
which render retirement desirable, all the consolations which
• flow from the consciousness of an honourableend well spent life.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The promised statement of the Chancellor of
the Eechequer, which had been appointed for
Last night in the House of Commons, was again
postponed to Monday next, in consequence, we
are sorry to say, of the continued indisposition of
the Right Honourable Gentleman. The distresses
of the agricultural interests occupy a consider.
able portion of the time of the House every even-
ing. A. Petition was presented yesterday evening
from ttie county of Suffolk upon this subject by
Mr. Gooch, which gave rise to an interesting
discussion. • The state of the counties of Nor-
folk and Snffolk was noticed by Mr. Lockhart as
presenting serious grounds for alarm. Popular agi.
tation that arises from general distress demands
the most immediate attention from the Govern-
ment ; but the exertions, hitherto unavailing, of
the friends of the country in Parliament, have
unfortunately proved not only the strength of
-.Ministers, but their determined unwillingness to
afford any effectual relief to the agriculturists.—
The remission of a shilling a bushel on the malt
duty, is too insignificant and too indirect to be-
stow any immediate assistance to the distresses
of the country. The repeal of the Salt duty
would, in the opinion of well informed land-
holders, be much more productive of general
good. The miserable majority of four against
Mr. Calcraft's motion, shelved clearly that the
sense of the House of Commons was hostile to
this odious impost, and if the Ministers consult-
ed propriety of conduct more than their own
pitiful personal interests, they would have in-
stantly consented to give up the tax.

[NVO IINING POST.]

We team with regret, from what passed in
the House of Commons last night between Mr.
Lockhart and- Mr. Gooch, that riots have oc-
curred in Norfolk, and disturbances have taken
place hi Suffolk, which made it necessary to call
out a part of the Yeomanry forces. In the course
of the evening some explanations took place be-
tween Mr. Wilmot and Mr. Hume, which prove
the latter to possess quite as much sensibility to
attacks upon himself as becomes an Hon. Gen-
tleman ever so ready, on slight grounds, to call
the conduct of others in question. It had been
well if he had contrived to conceal this. Since
it is known how much a sarcasm cal: gall this
Senator, it is to be hoped that the Hon. Gentle-
man will remember, for the time to come, that
" he who plays at howls must expect rubbers."
A Petition was presented to the House of Com-
Mons last night, from an individual in the situa-
tion of a Trustee Stockholder in the Navy Five
per Cents.. far a party who is absent from the
country. The difficulty in which he stands is,
that. he cannot coL.municate with the real owner
of the stock in time to dissent within the period
allowed by the Bill; and by acting upon his
own
.discretion, he stands in fear of our highly
penal laws for the misappropriation of this spe-
cies of property. The inconvenience is obvious
and pressing, and the Government have seen it
in that light ; for Mr. Lushiugton stated that it
was in contemplation to introduce a clause, giving
a longer time for dissent to Trustees.
