Daniel Burton and Sons, at Middleton, where ma-
chinery is used in great perfeciton in printing Ca-
licos, were attacked on Saturday by a numerous

of musketry into the faEtory. Messrs. Buroes be-

Mnstc.—We lately gave an account of the pri-
vate rehearsal of an Oratorio composed by Dr.
CROTCH, upon passages selected from the beautiful
Poem of Palestine, written.by Mr. HEBER. The
Oratorio was publicly performed under that ,title on
Tuesday last, at the Hanover-scprare -Itoorns, and
the well-known talents of the ingenious ComposeT
drew the largest audience that we ever saw at that
place, insomuch that great numbers were unable to
procure seats, but were nevertheless detained by the
merits of the work till the whole concluded. It
may b 6 truly said that expectation was never more
fully gratified titan on this occasion. The recita-
tives, airs, and choruses, were not only appropriate
to the sentiments, but highly beautiful, expressive,
and affecCirg. The Vocal Performers were, HAR-
RISON, the VAUGHANS, ,BELLAMY, BEALE, W.
KNYVETT, SALE, jun. Miss DARBY, Master KINt:,
(vice Mrs. ASHE, who is at BATE,) and BARTLE.
MAN, and they all exerted thernSelt es with the ut-
most zeal. Mr. F. CRAMER ltd, and nothing could
exceed his zeal.and ability. Dr. CROTCH himself
presided at rhe Organ. There was a numerous train
of the most distinguished Musical Professor's present,
and the whole of the company manifested the
highest approbation of the entertainment which they
had received.

'Uarly on yesterday morning a decently dressed
young- woman took a bOat at Bankside, desiring
the waterman to take her to the Temple, and im-
mediately ct coming' to the middle of the river

FINAL lUDGMENT AGAINST THE BARONET.

The detision of the twelve fudges.

EXCIIE.;jUk bIIAMBEItS, APRIL 22.

CHIEF JUSTICE MANSFIELD this day delivered
the judgment of their Lordships on the Writ of
Error, to the following effea, -viz.—His Lordship,
after premising that they drought it better to kive
judgment immediately, than to postpone it, and;
after travelling through the material parts of the De •
clare.tion and Plea, stated, that since the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, down to the present day, such
privilege had been eietcised by the Huuse of Cofn-
Anons, which was quite sufficient for their Lord-
ships, how- in the nineteenth century; to guide their
decision, without looking into remote eases before
that period, more fit for the conteieplation of anti-
quarians than for modern • Judges ; nqr did he feel
disposed to discuss all the cases c:te ', nor all the ob-
jettions offered by 'the C.unsel to the
judgment of the King'. Bench. The objection that
the committal was for a libel upon past waiters, he
should reply to by sayita, that all such commit-
ments must necessarily be after and not before the
offence committed; nor d:d the difference of five
liburs, or five days, :constiline any difference;
but as to the soldiers, he deemed that a soldier
was not co' nomine distina from a citizen, or
any other person, since the posse comilatus, in
.the power of the Sheriff, to this day, were the
'early soldiers of this country ; and ridded; that
in' the year 1780, by the remissness of the
soldiers for the want of Officers or Magistrates.
to guide them, houses and other things were burn-
ed in this city, which 'their early intertwine would
have prevented. He thought they had equal right
to prevent a felony, or other public evil, as well with
any other person; and that respea and veneration
were due to and necessaryfor the administration of
j, stice, indispensably toward§ the persons of the
Legislators of this or any other; nation, if the people
hoped to benefit by them, while the clashing of
contradictory decisions in the Miffs-rent jurisdiaiotis
and Courts would puzzle and impede their proceed •
ings altogether. To the doubt of the publication of
the plaintiff's letter, avowed by him in his place as
his produ&ion, and so much commented on in a
weekly publication, he should reply by observing,
that daily publications of libels on the proceedings of
the House of Commons, to vilify and reprobate t heir
proceedings, was not to be construed into any eulogy
or panegyric
.upon the Members, either colleCiively
or individually. Under every consideration of the
question, he.stated, that their Lordship swere una-
nimous in their judgment for the defendant, and in
affirmance of the King's Bench judgment.—Judg--
ment for the defendant. ' .

BILL V. TAYLOR.

A special motion on the merits was made this day
in the Court of Exchequer, by the SOLICITOR GE-
NERAL, Mr. HALL, and Mr. O'DEny, on the part
of Mr. :Ell], an Attorney, to dissolve an injunetion
obtained by the defendant at Common Law, under
which the Sheriff of Middlesex was restrain, d from
sellkg the elrandelier.s, Stc. of the Opera fLose,
Oreli had -been rotten ire execution for a debt of
30W. After a great deal Alargnment, the Barons
ordered the money to be brought into Court, if not,
that the injunction should be dissolved, which would
in effedt extinguish the lights.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, APRIL 22.

GORDON V. LOVELL AND ANOTHER.

This was an aaion for slander. After hearing
Criunsel and evidence, Lord ELLENBOROUGH ob-
served, that the cause might be made to last much
longer, but as the defendant had (ailed in rnakil g
out the justification in form, as pleaded, there must
be, a verdia against him. But he was sure the Jury
would see enough of the cause to say it was not one
where the plaintiff's charaaer demanded much coni-
pensation, Verdi& for the plaintiff-Damages one
shilling.

A few days ago a lad, having had son e words
with his friends in the neighbourhood of Mow fields,
left them, and went and entered himself on board
the tender ; a few hours after which he was missing,
and was discovered to have jumped from the vessel
into the Thames, and was drowned. „ The body is
not yet found.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. —The ship ,deorgia,
Capt. STOKES, from Lisbon, to Savannah,,on the
21st of November last, in lat. 30 deg. N. long. "23
deg. W. about 3 P. M. then distant from the near-
est land, the Canary Islands, at (east two hundred
miles, while sailing with a fine breeze from the
southreast about eight knots, a black eland arose
from the south-west, and the ship was all at once
becaltited. A light air afterwards sprai.g up from
the north-east, at which time there fell from the
cloud an innumerable quantity of large grass-hop-
pers, so as to cover the deck, the tops, and every
part of the ship they could light upon. They did
not..appear in the least exhausted ; on the contrary,
when an attempt was made to take hold of them,
they instantly Jornped,, and endeavoured to elude
being taken. The calm, or a very light air, lasted
fully an hour, and during the whole of the time
these insects continued to fall upon the ship and
around her ; such as were within reach of the
vessel alighted upon her, but immense numbers
fell into the sea, and were seen floating in masses
by the sides. During the next day many still re-
mained about the rigging and decks, and were
seen in quantities jumping and flying from, one
place to another. Two bottles, filled with some
of the grass-hoppers preserved in spirits, are kept
for the inspetlion
_of the curious; and for the in-
formation of those who may not have an opportu-
ni,y of seeing them, the following description is
given :—rtie inseat is of a reddish hue, with red
and grey speckled wings, eyes black, two horns,
six legs, four long and two short, which last aid
them in jumping, two wings on each side ; length
of the..body two inches, and, including the wings,
when folded, two inches and seven-eightits. Land
birds of different kinds have frequently been Tound
at a much greater distance at sea after heavy gales,
but it is not easy to account how such a num-
ber of glass-hoppers got into the air, at so great
a distance from land, as they are not calculated
to fly far.

HOUSE OF PEERS.

TUESDAY, APRIL 21 .

[ConelUded from our Paper of yeeteriay.]

The MarquiS of bow tsSnial3 Was convinced, that
the petition Spoke the sense of the Ca, holic_ Body of
Ireland, and that emancipation would be equal i be—
neticial Id all descriptions of his. Majesty's subj.;-a4.
a
He, too, had laid on that table Petition ft qm a te-
speCtable body of his countrymen ; and he s!.oul
be happy in feeling that he could any.
thing to an object .so desirable as rdig ous li-
berty.
Lord ljvaoN, iii a-speech of -considert-ible 'tngt!i,
Went over the leading voints of the quests°. . ‘,V'd
had emancipated the- ne„osoe?, and we rtsu,..id
don) to the Catholics. He had in- consequence ofii'n
thought it a nistortuty for the Catholics ;that .they
were no, bprn black: toughs for popery thraugh,
the world, to crii,ll its cheiples at bone. It Lord
Wellington had been a papist, we should have lost
bit talents. We did not consult religion in our wit's.
When any offer was made from- the Continent,
away went our arkil y our ambassador, and our sub-
sidy. We fought often pretty hardly, oftener negc.c-
elated very- badly, and al ways paid pretty dearly for
the benefit of our Popish allies. -His
.Lordship c,u-
clu'ded by decl +ring, that the rejeatio'h of she Petitions
would be giving the greatest possible fo
Buonvarte.

The E rrl of Moms was of opinion that the No-
ble Lord (Liverpool) had most unjustly, confounded
the temporal and spiritual nature of the question :
but the Catholics made the distinetion in the cleat est
manner, disclaiming all idea of interleiing with the
present China h tstablishment. The Cateohcs came
as free born men, demanding their ; it
then tell upon Ministers to proaethat they were
unworthy of the right. But as to requiting the veto
as a pledge, Ministers would be as much jus.died in
demanding a similar pledge from the Dissenters.--
The Petition was backed by the weight of the Pro-
testant property, and it therefore spoke the sense of
Ireland. But were Ministers to threw it from theta
at once, and declare that they would nut in any man-
ner entertain the prayer of the Catholic people ? If
they were, what must be the alternative There
was nothing between conciliating them and knock-
ing them on the head : the latter 'would not be pe-
culiarly moral, but what was perhaps more looked
to, it was not peculiarly predicable. But something
must be done. •He knew there. had been doubts on
the question among the people of this country : he
knew, and with the extreme of anguish, that there
were doubts in . the mind of an illustrious Peron,
who had been once presumed to be'lhe friend of the
Catholics. But if his judgment was bewildered fur
a moment, he (Lord M.)
,would adjure the country
not to withdraw its confidence from Inch; he was
still full- of regard for the general interest, of respect
toe constitutionel,freedom, and of zeal for the happi-
ness of the nation. This was said from an intimate
knowledge of the fact; and it was to be hoped the
House would rely upon the testimony. now given.
The Irish offered the most solemn pledges for their
,allegiance,—they might be relied on : there was no
nation of a more faithful and confiding nature. But
if we rejected their Petition for right with conform-
we told them there was no right for them,--
how were we to keep down the irritation which we
Must base created ? We could not spare troops to
the oar-pose e and in the language of the Noble
Lord (Byron) by refusing the boon,
,we were only
doing a service to Buonaparte. -
Lord GRENVILLE said, he was not at all surprised
that they who had the rashness to turn away the Pe-
tition of four millions of people should have very
few reasons, and not one satisfactory, for opposing
the claims of the Catholics. Indeed, after the strong
and eloquent and utterly unanswerable arguments.
.which the House had heard tjiis night in tat our of
the question, he thought it-altnost
,an ad of great
presumption in himself to attempt- any noselty
the subject. New argument. he certainly had um,
but again and.-again would he raise his voile in ens
treaty for the grant of the prayer of the. petitioners,
when he considei•ed what the stake was that-was at
issue. When he recolleded that it was this question
that had occupied a large portion of his thoughts,
and had been in fact the chief fea.ture of his political
life; and when he considered that rhe'safety of his'
country was endangered ty the necessity of its agita-
lion, he hoped Noble Lotds would pardon him tOraab-
trud•ng upon them a few observations; What was
the House now deliberating on ? When the history
of this night shoOld be written in after times, with
what scorn would posterity hear, "that neither the'
just claims, nor the 601 Ft-rings, nor the loyalty of.
the Catholics, could obtain for them from this House
so much as permissiam to detail 'the pariicehirs
their case to it. , aklmost the one fourth of the poPu-
lation of theEnapire waa now petitioning the House;
and their prayer was baled by the petitions 6f
those very persons for whose benefit it was said that
exclusion was necessary,—backed• by those who
prayed that for their safety you should demolish what
you pretend to be the bulwarks of their' safety,—
who entreated yon to extticate theth trout that ar-
mour, which to theni is no longer a defence, but an.
ineumbrance.' The petitionees dictum:lt es actually
comptised the great majority of that nation
sacrificed its independence to your confidence. It
was not now a mere Catholic question, it was a
Protestant one also. The Catholics tell you of their
sufferings, and the Protestants call on you to give
them peace and union, and to restore harmony 10
their distracted couotry., And though the question
had taken this momentary turn, what was still the
condut of the Noble Lords opposite ? Was theta
ever such phrenzy manifested ; such political mad-
ness b trayed by persons who pretended to the cha-
racter either of statesmen or men ? Now. that this
country could not support itself without leaning on
Ireland,—now that a gigantic power was proceed-
ing, although t he Noble Lords did not affect to see
it, with rapid strides to overwhelm our existence,—
at such a moment it was that they spurned the Ca=
thohcs front their doors. He called on the House,
not to stand as Englishmen in that basest and most
dishonourable otall situations, that of receiving the
services of a people, without giving them their just
reward. He was glad, however, to hear that nig,lit
from the Noble. Secretary of State an avowal of the
injustice of the calumnies which were thrown out
'still against the Catholics ; although at the same
time he
,was'aware that the Noble Secretary %%' '43
quite conscious of the quarter whence • they origt-
,nated. The University of Cambridge had touni out
that there was greater 'Jaeger to this Country, iro.o

the Pope-, now'; than there t--Yer was before. The
N Secretary (Lord Lit erpoUl) had confessed that
this ti,t tot tunate and persecute&t man had opposec,l a
firtne, than most petty Princes to the de-.
sire of site. But the Noble Lord had.said,
04 the Poi- die, and ::anther be elected
d-
,f, the totl ce of B-aonaparte. It the rights of
four rniillonis-ot: people were to 13-. suspended merely
on tie ,pect.la;ioll ot existing public charatier, end
others Ric, eeding t<e!y.), who uonld coric!uCt thetn-
sejees an exclusion might be titer-.
teal. A great deal hadbeen said of the danger of
Catholic .Lido-s, nd ,:f Citholics. getti,g into tire
Cabinet, where their advice rni,:ht be -asked, with
repel to the apPointoient of a Protestant. Bishop.
Now the .CLurchot Scotland oad, u:itin an average, -
been Inimical to the Established Church as
the Church of Rome wa ; and yet he had sat for
above ten years in the Cabinet with a Secretary of
State of that pergt,asion (the Lae Lord Melville) and
whit was more ex(riordinary, the appointment of
test of the Bishop, then in his eye, had actually
'been coun.ersigned by this very, Mi•tister. He could
not avoid pointing out to the attention. of Ministers
the gre.d advantages which had resulted to Huniary
frZtin t lie liberality, of the Empress Maria Theresa,
in emancipating her Protestant subje-s. That pro-
vince, which uas netore the mo.t i,rbulent- and ie-
bellicius province belouging to tlt Empire, very soon
became the great support of the Empire; and if the
Emperor of Austria 110 W held his Crown, he be-
lieved- il,was owing,_ in great -measure, to the li-
beral policy pursurd wan itt.sPeet to .the Protes-
tants.

T e Lotto CHANCELLOR Could not agree to the
present- niotinu, wi.icti vv,l6, in his opinion, biwith
danger :o the Prot ta.,t Constitution. He was not
for going i::to a Committee, because he thought
than that would bv holding out false hopes to the
Cash ;lips. Ti e Noble Lord hid` laughed at the
Catitbr•dg,, A 'dressers; but, nevertheless, in his
Le;tr t, Lout Fingal, he had stated that the.power
of the Pope over the clergy of Ireland was, perhaps,
inc; eased instead of decreased. He had, also, then,
distialiy stated. that the prayers of their petitions
could not be granted, wi'hout being accompanied
with-suite extensive and salutary arrangements.—
Now what was the nature of those extensive and
complicated ar,angemeins he wa% entirely ignorant;
and if the Noble Eaton would not condescend to in-
form him, he must oppose the motion as tending to
impair tin Prott stata .Government. He never yet
could learn what those checks were v. htch .some
men would think sufficient, but to him it appeared
th it it would not be very easy to find any more ef-
fectual than those existing
,by the law.
Lord GRENVILLE, in .explanation, said, that he
was very much obliged to his Lordship for bringing
forsaid this charge in a manner and place which
al.!oAed him the opportunity of answering it. If the
Learned Lord would but have read the passage
pr,ceding that which he quoted, he would have seen
that Fos r compikaled arrangemetrs -,spoken of,
m~ tint not;:ing trn.re than that this measutc alone
'woulci not be .suffillent to produce th,se haply effeas
in Ir,lanu whh:h ere so much, wished for, but
t' 4,ntfkfr measures orttrst also be t.dien tot uniting
Itelatid. to this country by the bonds of love and af-.
fe,-t ion.

Lord HOLLAND took not'.ce of an .erroneous state-
ment which irr.ct bet.n le ie-the•course of ii de-
bate. The Bill -of Right-s Lad thwen stated as the
foun :al ion of the security or the Proysttant Rdigion.
NJw, as it happ,,ed, Bill ,o 1 Rights had not said
a woki about the Proie,tant Religion. The thir-
teen declarations which it contained ag to the rights
of the people of this country, were equally tine,
twinite,er was its religion, whether. Protest<n
Catholic, or t2tven Niatiometan. He kneN that acts
had been passed some years afterwards rfspealing
the Protestant religion, bu: still there was not a word
of it in the Bill of
.Right,s, and therefore it was not
so uninediately/copuected with the Revolution as
'as supposed by some of tint I.:\Tob:e Lords.

A Petition was also presented to the same effect

Claims, at the same time, he declared that- neither

Protestants hid a right to expect. On those con-
ditions, he and his friends ucre as, friendly as

DISTILLATION OF CRAIN IN IRELAND.

Mr. MAURICE FITZGER-ALD,From the begin-
nit)g-of the alrom hi Irrtatul, ndiu
cafled the attention of Government to that subject,
and had requested of them to quiet the feats of the
people, and to take the necessary steps to prevent
the impending e%ii. The'Right Hon. Secretary of
State for Ireland, had, however, been deceived by
false statements, and had asserted to the House that
Ihe scarcity was only local, and that enough of grain
existed in Ireland, not only for the supply of that
country, Out also to relieve the wants of lioglan4,
and to aftford enough for distillation from corn,
Notwithstanding 'those assertions, and notwith-
standing the improved state of the agriculture in Ire-
land, which surpassed in so short a time whatever
the most sanguine expectation could have autici—
pared, still it was too well proed that 3 scarcity ex-
i,ted at the present moment. ~Ele thought, in con•
sequence, that the readiest method of affording re-
lief to the population of Ireland, was to put a stop
to the distillation from grain, which consumed fifty
thousand quarters.a week.
The Hon. Gentleman concluded.by moving,

" That an humble Address should be presented to his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent, stating, that it appeared
necessary to the House, in order to obtain a necessary sup-
ply of food fur the poor of Ireland, that the Distillation from
Grain should be stopped, and praying his Royal Highness
to give direCtions for such measures as would speedily elled
that desirable object." ' -

Mr. W. POLE denied that the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman had called -upon him to stop the di,tillery
from grain oris former night. He did indeed state,
that he had received intimation that great apprehen-
sions of scarcity were entertained ; but,at the same
time he'declared, that so far was he from believing
this representation to be true, that he was convinced
no real scarcity did exist. He warned Government,
however, of the probability of, such a scarcity, and
exhorted them so make due inquiries,iko the real
state of the country. He (Mr. W. Pore) would ask
the Right Hon. Gentleman if he supposed the Go-
vernment of Ireland was not equally alive to the wel-
fare of that country as the Right Hon. Gentleman
himself ? Did he suppose that they had not made
every due investigation into the pi obability of scar-
city, and were not prepared to meet any exigency
which the course of events might create If he did
he was most egregiously mistaken; and as a con-
vincing proof of this assertion, he had only to state
to the Right Hon. Gentleman, that he had come
down that evening for the purpose of moving for
leave to bring in a Bill to effect the very purpose for
which the Right Hon. Gentleman had deatred to
address the Prince 'Regent. This was a measure,-
however, to which the-- Government of Ireland
would not have resorted, but under circumstances
of paramount necessity. The Right Hon. Gentle-
man then adverted to the general state of the supply
of provisions in Ireland, and detailed a variety of
fails which had come to his knowledge, through the.
medium of his public and private correspondence,
from which it appealed, that there was not # scarcity
of corn or 'other provisions; considerable pressure
did, it was true, exist in some places, but it arose
not from a scarcity, but from the impediments-which
had been thrown in the way of the intercourse be-
tween different parts of the equntry. The great
export which had taken place from Ireland, both

At the SUN 01-F1C.7., No, 11 e, Strand, where iidvertiwnents, Orders f

of Gran and Spirits, had contributed to increase
the prices. It was well knoWn to the Gen-
tlemen conversant with the course of distilla-
tion, that the corn in the possession of distillers
was either' kiln-dried, or not convertible - to .the
usual purposes of food. In order to give them
time, t!,elefore, to distil that which was kiln-dried,
he should propose that the Bill should not take effekl
until the 4th of May, from which time be should
also propose that a fortnight should be alloAed to
work off the wort and wash on hand. In conclu-
sion he moved, that the words of the original mo-
tion should be omitted, and the following sub-
stituted :

" That leave be given to bring in a Bill to revive
and continue, for a time to be limited, 'so much
oft he Aa of the 49th of. the King, for the pro-
hibition of the distillation from grain, as referred to
that part of the United Kingdom .called Ireland."
Mr. PONSONBY did not think it would be safe to
allow so long a period for the distillers to work oti
that part of their stock which was on hand, and
which Corild not be applied to human food. No
longer time should be allowed than was aelually ne-
cessary for the pas Sing of the measure. From the
information be had received from undoubted alitho-
tity, the 'state of the country was most alarming.-,-
This was 3 fact which could not be disguised; and
those who bad informed the Right Hon. Gentle-
man (Mr. W. Pole) that the contrary was the case,
were induced so to do tuerely from interested mo-
tives, and with the intention of deluding and mis-
leading him.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, the delay proposed by
the Right Honourable Ge•,ilernan. would only tend
to kcep out of the maik,t that grain which was
ah:eoluttly necesitary for immediate consumption..=
Any such delay, therefore, was strongly to be de-
precated.

Mr. SHAW observed, th.it it was utterly impossi-
ble for the distillers to work cif thtir stock on hand
in a less time than that rnoposed by the Right Hon.
Geutleman. They ci,uld not take any improper
advantage, or make any new purchases by 'st:ch an
arrangment.
_ _ _

M. STEWART declared his approbation of the
Amendment, and conceived that no more time was
proposed to be allowed to the distillers than was
aeinally necessary to work off their present stock.
Mr. PARNELL felt considerable doubt, whether,
even sup po.dng there was a scarcity, the stoppage of
the distilleries would haye any good effect.
Mr; O'DELL said, he had just arrived from
Limerick, and there was no scarcity dreaded in that
part of the country, as potatoes were neyer.,more
cheap or mote abundant.

The Hon. Mr, _C. H. HUTCHINSON agreed that
every measure ought to be taken to prevent the
consumption of grain, and for the support of the
population of the country ; at the same time, the
House ought to be cautious how they injwed so,
respectable a class of people as the distillers of lie,
land more than was necessary. A clause could
easily be introduced, to allow them to make use of
such grain as was in their posse*sion, and so pre-
pared a• not to be fit for any other use.
Mr. M. FITZGURALD shortly replied.
The od,inal motion was then put and negatived.
The Amendment was carried, and leave given to
ortrig ID the ?SM.

WRLLEsLEY POLE then brought up the Bill,
which was ►ead a first time, and ordered Co be read
a second time to-morrow.

Tuesday evening, about. right o'clock, a youth'
fifteen years of age, in passing the end of-the
ries, near Tower-hill, with a parcel, containing sonic
articles of apparel which he was carrying to a trades"
man's house, in Lower Thames-street, was accodec
by a man, dressed in Soldier's shabby jacket, k,
walked by his side a short distance', and took 31)
opportunity, when no other person was passioS'
of knocking him down with his fist, snatched it'6
.bundle, ran off, and made his escape, before 10
youth recovered himself,
