TALLOW TRADE.

SECONDARY'S OFFICE, Nov. 21.
MITCAELLS V. RAINER.

This was an inquiry to assess the damage sustained by the
plaintiffs, in consequence of the defendant's non-performance of
a contract for tallow, which he had entered into with them.
Mr. MAULS stated the plaintiffs' case. The defendant, he
said, had purchased from the plaintiffs' broker, acting on their
account, on the 27th of February last, 465 casks of Archangel
tallow, to be delivered on the 27th of the following month, and
paid for in cash, at the rate of 48s. 6d. per cwt., deducting five and
a half months' discount. The tallow was offered to the defendant
on the day of delivery, according to the terms of the contract,
but he declined taking it, and never since performed his con-
tract. The plaintiffs, in consequence of the defendant's re-
fusal to fulfil his agreement, brought an action against him in
Trinity Term, to recover damages for the loss they sustained.
On the trial of that action the defendant allowed Judgment to
go by default, and the present inquiry was to assess the amount
of the damages to which the plaintiffs were entitled.
Mr. Samuel Dzotc stated, that he was a Russia Broker, and
negociated the sale of the Tallow in question between the plain-
tiffs and the defendant. The witness read from his book the
terms of the contract, which corresponded in ever particular
with the statement made by the paintiffs' Counsel. He had
some months since retired from the business of a Tallow
Broker, and could not state the present price with certainty.
Mr. Charles Soames, a Russian Broker, stated, that the pre-
sent price of Archangel Tallow brack 1821 (the quality of the
Tallow in question), was 335. per cwt. ; he had for some days
past been endeavouring to obtain 345. but found it impossible.
On his cross-examination the witness said, he sold 100 casks
of new yellow candle tallow the day before, at 375. 6d. per cwt.
but that quality always sold higher than Archangel Tallow,
from 3s. to Gs. per cwt.
It was agreed between the Solicitors of the parties, that the
quantity of Tallow sold at the contract price amounted to
73931. Is. 6d. after deducting the five and a half months' inte-
rest, which sum should have been paid on the 27th of March ;
and for its retention the plaintiffs claimed interest to the day of
the inquiry, which added to the difference between the contract
price and the present price, together with the charge. for the
storage and insurance of the tallow, and a commission to be
paid on the re-sale, made the whole of the plaintiffs' demand
amount to 27431. 4s. Bd.
The defendant's Solicitor agreed to all the items of this sum
except the charge for interest.
Mr. MAULE contended, that under a decision of Lord Ellen-
borough, the plaintiffs were clearly entitled to interest; his
Lordship having ruled that, when it was contracted that money
should be paid on a certain day, and the payment was delayed,
interest was chargeable.
The defendant's Solicitor submitted, that the contract in this
case was different from a contract for the payment of money,
being for goods bargained and sold, which were to be paid for
on delivery, but no delivery having taken place, the time of pay-
ment had not arrived, and no interest could be chargeable for
the non-payment.
The SECONDARY, in charging the Jury, said, as the defend-
ant was to have been allowed discount for making the payment
on the 27th of March, it appeared reasonable that he should pay
interest for having retained it.
The Jury, after some deliberation, said, they would neither
deduct the discount from the price of the tallow, nor-allow the
plaintiffs interest for the nonpayment.
On a calculation it appeared, that this decision would take
771. 15s. 2d. from the plaintiff's demand ; and
The Jury immediately returned a.verdiet for the plaintiffs--
damages, 2,6651. 9s. 61

His Grace the Duke of LEINSTEa is now lay-
ing out grounds for the cultivation of field grapes
and delicate fruits, according to the plan, the
notice of which originated with this Journal.—
The discoverer of the plan is now with the Duke

at Carton—and two English Dukes are among
the personages who are anxious that the dis-
coverer should visit the sister kingdom.—(Dublin

Patriot.)
A country paper contains the following project,
which is one of the nearest approaches to the

scheme of Swift's Laputan Projector which has
yet appeared :—" An apparatus for printing has
been invented, on principles of, extraordinary in-
genuity. The first part of the operation is the
casting of the types in a machine, which, though
simple in its structure, performs a variety of mo-
tions, by which the types are founded, finished,
and distributed into cases ready for the com-

positor. The second part of the apparatus
is a machine for composing, or collecting the
individual types together into words, lines,
and sentences ; which is effected by jacks
and keys, to be played upon in the man-
ner of a harpsichord or piano-forte. The third
part of the apparatus is that which is used
in taking off the impressions from the types.—
The principles upon which this part of the ma-
chinery is constructed are very different from
those of the founding and composing apparatus,
but equally good, and more expeditious. After
the types in the form have given the number of
impressions desired, they are returned to the
melting-pot, re-cast, and distributed mechan-
ically : which iS more expeditiously performed
than the old process of breaking up the type by
hand, securing also the advantage of new type,
and consequent uniformity throughout a long
work, which by the old method could riot be
easily accomplished. The whole of the me-
i chanism is worked with perfect ease by manual
labour. A Mr. Church is the inventor : he has
perfected the press at Oxford."
THE TRAPPISTE.—One of the French Jour-
nals gives the following account of the Spanish
Chief who makes so conspicuous a figure in the
Army of the Faith, under the name of the Trap-
piste :—" During the wars in Spain, this man was
a Captain of Guerillas. After the peace his mind
took a religious turn, and lie retired to La Trappe,
in Spain, where he was received as a lay-brother.
The Revolution, which desolated his country,
awakened all his ardour. After a long solici-
tation, he succeeded in obtaining permission
to resume the profession of arms. He always
dresses in the habit of his Order, and the
words, " it is the will of God," are constantly
in his mouth. With a whip in one hand and a
sword in the other, he advances at the head of his
troop, crying out to the enemy, " Fire upon me ; I
am Brother Antonio; I fear nothing. God's will be
done !" At the taking of Urgel he repeatedly ex-
posed himself) but was never wounded. A third
habit has been just made for him; the two first,
pierced with halls, have been torn up by the
soldiers of the Faith, who think themselves in-
vulnerable when they have about them a piece
of the habit of Brother Antonio."

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.—TWELVE PER-
SONS DROWNED.—On Sunday, the 3d instant,
a boat upset betwixt Kirkwall and Shapinshay,
by which twelve persons returning home from
Church were lost, viz.—William Borwick, te-
nant at Sound in Shapinshay ; Ellen, Margaret,
and Euphemia, his three eldest daughters ; Tho-
mas Heddle, Thos. Groat, and Margaret Smith,
farm servants ; Thomas Bell, son of G. Bell, at
Cliffdale ; 'William Leask, residing there; Eliz.
Peace, his wife ; Magnus Leask, his brother ;
and Peter Peace, his wife's twin brother. These
melancholy events have left the relatives of most
of the sufferers dependent on public benevolence.
