ILINQUET SONG'.

tlail•to our Chief ! now he is wet through with Whiskey;
Long life to the Lady come from the salt seas;
Strifre up,. blind Harpers; high to be frisky !
For what is so gay as a hag full of fleas !
Crest of O'Shangbilashane !

Long may your root every Irishman know !
Pats long have stuck to it,
Long hia god luck to it;
Whack for O'Shauthuashane !—Tooley Whagg Ho!
Our's is an esculent. lusty and lasting,
No turni,o, nor other weak babe of the ground;
Waxy, or mealy, it hinders froth fasting
.Half Erin's inhabitants, all the year round,

Hogs', cows', or horses' dung,
Still does the crest of .o,'Shaughnashane grow;
Snout for it, Ulster Men,
Till the Bogs quake again,
Whack for O'Shaughnashane! Tooley Whagg Ho!
Drink, Paddies, drink to the Lady to shining! '
-While flowret shall open, and Bogltrotters
So long may the sweet rose of beauty be twining,,
-- Around the potatoc of proud Mara eygig !
While the plant vegetates,

Wash down the root, from the borax that o'erflow;
Shake your- shillalahs, Boys!
Screeching drunk, seream your joys ! •
Whack for O'Shaughnashane!—Tooley Whagg Ho s
Time rolls his course ;—now seems in haste,
And now seems slow.—as Cooks roll paste;
Rolling out rows from human dust,
Soon to be broken—soon as trust:
All under time, to ruin falls,
Like i3larneygig's now moulder'd

We have seldom had occasion to reaonitnend to .
the notice of our readers a work of such great and
peculiar interest as tte Memoirs of the Princess
Royal of Prussia, the beloved sister of FREDERICIi
THE GREAT. These Memoirs, written With her
own hand, were bequeathed to her First Physi-
cian, the Privy Counsellor, M. DE SUPPERVILLE,
and are now first pUblished from the original
Manuscript in the French language. They contain
a variety of anecdotes and important facts hitherto
quite unknown,.
We understand. the Minden, of 74 guns: built
at Bombay, is now fitting for foreign service' at
Portsmouth, and intended' to proceed to India,
under the command of Capt. SaaNt,' to receive
the flag of" Vice-Admiral , Sir 'SAMUEL HOOD, the
Commander in Chief of his Majesty's squadron in
the Indian seas.' The Salsette, and several other
highly approved frigates of a superior class, had
been built at Bombay ; .but the Minden, being the
first ship of the line that has been constructed out
of the limits of the United Kingdom, may be said
to take the lead in the foundation of a new era in
the annals of our' naval architecture. Two new
docks, formed for the reeeption of ships of the
line of the largest class, were, in 1810, added to
the accorinnodations of the naval yard at Bom-
bay.' They were constructed under the superin-
teudance of Major COWPER of the Engineers, of
immense blocks of granite, dove-tailed into each
other; and,combining their capacitywith their syin-
metry, and probable durability, are thought by
competent judges to be unrivalled by any similar
works in the British dominions. In one of these,
the Minden was built, about two years ago; and
on her arrival in this country attracted the atten-
tion of professional men of all classes—Naval
officers, and Ship-builders, as well as men of
science in general, in the first ranks of life,—
Being entirely the handy-work of native artificers,
under the direction of JAMSETJEE BOMANGEE,
Parsee, also a native of that country, and Master-
builder for the Navy and- the Hon. East India
Company at Bombay, and constructed entirely of
the wood of that country called teak, the curio-
sity of connoisseurs was unusually enhanced; but
those to whose immediate care that branch of oux
national defence is confided, had a serious inte-
rest in ascertaining the properties of :.his mag-
nificent specimen •of JAMSETJEE'S skill. The
Minden has accordingly been surveyed by the pro-
per officers at Portsmouth, by order.of tbeLords
Commissioners of the Admiralty. Their report
does-not gratify any local partialities at the ex-
pense of truth and sound policy, but represents
her•as an unexceptionable man of war, in every
substantial requisite ; and whilst it confers ho-
nour on the 'builder, his work stands ,a proud
monument of the inestimable importance of our
Indian possessions, which produce,. from the
depths of their unfathomable forests, coMparative-
iy tinhalloWed by the axe hitherto, au accession
of strength to the mother country, at a time when
she is alarnied at the rapid diminution of her own
materials of shiplbuilding, and threatened with .
a scarcity, 'at no very distant period, of her
justly • celebrated native oak, the only resource
of our Navy, until the .?ilinden and the
Bonibay Docks have now cheered the pro-
spect of the "Statesman and the patriot, with
a noble specimen of the forests of Western India,
and of the science and skill of our Indian subjects
in the improvement of them to the grand national
purpose of adding strength to our marine, at a
period when all the arsenals of the Continent are
subservient to the views of the enemy. The pub-
lie will'be gratified to learn, that, in pursuance of
these advantages, the keel of the Cornwallis, ano-
ther 74, was laid in one of the riew docks at Boni-
bay, in- September last; and we. understand,the
Navy Board nave recommended the building of
ships of the same class to be followed up at that
settlement, under the direction of Commissioner
JOHNSTONE, who proceeds thither in the Minden.
We understand that positive inforination was
received by the Transport Board, °I./Friday last,
of the' safe arrival of General Pniataaok on tie
French coast.—Thus, notwithstanding all the
vigilance and exertion used to prevent the escape
of this parole-breaking Officer of the--Legion
of Honcor!—be has ultimately completed his
eriana,:e_

toturr, OP CHANCERY, ILLY 20.

COLMNN AND. 11.-rNSTON V. MORTIS

'Mr: LEACH was heard this day in behalf of the
plaintiffs. r
-He began by stating-generally, the ptetious
proceedings in that Court, in eotiscqtieo.ce of,the
disputes between these parties, the proprietors of
the Little Theatre, in the Haymarket. A Bill
had beets filed by.7.1,1r. Morris, in March, 1809 ;
the chief object -of the pl=l.tver of which was, that
Mr. Colman tright be removed from the situation
of General Manager, and Mr. Winston from that
of Stage Maw'ger, rt acconnt of neglect or rnis-
-manageinent in their several departments. Upon
this, his Lordship had made an order of reference
to. the Master, to ascertain whether, ,under all the
eireamstances, the parties had performed their.se-
veratdktties according to the rirtnersliin agree-
Ment. The :Buster had reported,, that Mr. Colr
n:an and Mi. Winston line; performed their duties.
To this report he admitted exceptions had been
taken.; and there that cause stood for the present.-
There was nothing in it inconsistent with the ob-
ject of the present suit. A Bill had been lately
tiled in the Exchequer. by Messrs. Colman midi
Winston for a dissolution of the partnership be-
tween them and Mr. Morris, and tfte removal of
Mr. Morris from the of li ee of Treasurer to the
concern, on the ground of alleged misconduct in
that office.
,Upon its beint, stated to the Barons,
that there was a suit depetlinton this subject in
the Court of Chancery, tiiey refused to interfere,-
observing that the Court of Chancery was -the-
proper tribunal. •
A bill,therefore, for the purposesaforesaid, had
been very lately filed in this Court,and an answer
put in, The case was.not as yet down for hear-
ilia, so as to call upon their Lordships for a dis-
solution ; but the plaintiffs
-'thought it necessary
to apply, without further delay,for the removal of
Mr. Morris from the office Of Treasurer, and this
was the object of the present motion.
The chief grounds` on 'Which the motion was
founded, were, first, That Mr. Morris had ever
since the close of the year 109 -refused to divide
tho, profits of the concern among.the partners,—
3d, That he had nevertheleSs taken seven hundred
and fifty pounds out of the partnership concern,
and applied the-same to his own Use ; which pro-
ceeding he endeavoured to justify upon the ground
that when an account shotild be talign, that this
and more would be found -dueto him!: but he (Mr.
Leach): contended, that Mr. 'Morris -had no right
hateter to appropriate tobimself any part of the ,
partnership fund‘till a regulansettlement and di-
vision took place. 3dly, That Mr. Morris had
.or-
dered the money recewerg'to give no account of
their ?nightly receipts to the partners ; and it had
been admitted by Mr. Morris, that he had ordered
them not to give any account except at the Trea-
sury. Mr. Morris, inchis answer, submitted,to the
Co;rrt, that he was not bound to 'make a division
of the profits till the matters in dispute were ad-
justed.

The LORD CHAN.CELLOR stated, that when he
had made the further reference to the Master, he
could not conceive. how Mr. Colman, who (he
was sorry to say it of a man of his genius) lived
on the other side
,of the water; and never was on
this side,'could execute the duties of Manager.
The Master, however, had reported, thathe could.
111 did notagree With the Barons of the Exebe-
qUer;-in the notion, that they .ought not to take
cognizance of a cause, because another, aid a
.different suit, though _on the same subject; was
depending in Chancery ; and he wished they had
taken the business so far out of his hands. One
thing was perfectly clear, that if these Gentlemen
"could agree:among themselves, they would manage
the concern much better than the Court of Chan -
cefy." Perhaps Messrs. Colman and Winston
might be better judges than Mr. Morris of the
proper method of management ; but he certainly
ought to be. consalted ; and he recollected the
manner in which he bad been consulted was a
mere 'mockery. This partnership, be believed,
was under the agreement, unlimited ill point of
time ; but if these Gentlemen were to be partners
to all vternity, he Suggested that it might be ad-
for them to be a little more conciliatory
audYieldingto'each other, otherwise it would be
rather an nneomfortable co-eXistence. In regard
to the present application, he did-.not think it
Would be proper in him to remove Mr, Morris
.from an office, with • a salary attached to it,
cept under' circumstances which would justify a
dcuree of dissolution of jhe partnership. It was
ranch too strong a step to take Jipon a mere in-
tetkicutorv:motion ; and he must, therefore, re:-.‘
fltie the present application. But 'other motions
might easily be made, so as to secure the'partne'r-
sliip prOperty 'from being misapplied during the
pendency of the suit. .
Mr. iroPsOx said, that Tmthere was uothinooof
which Mr. Winston was more desirous than that
ike partners should conduct the concern
,with.a
Conciliatory di position towards each other but
it was too much to "expect that he should sit still
ontented, when Mr. i'ataris, from motives of
oc,rsonal. hostility,, triad refast!d tO, pay him his
salary tor'three years.
