CARLOW PETTY SE4SIONS, Dcc.

On Thursday Inst a Court of -Petty Sessiiin
was held in the Court-house,- six Magistrates
preSiding.

CURIOUS CASE.
The first case called ou wits a prosecution against Edward
Farrell, of the Bog-tavern, at the complaint of P. Man, nal,
surveyor, who was in attendance. An itinerant informer,
named John Bart, was produced, who prefer:ftd his complaint
in the following words :
Informer—On the Bth dny of December I went to the house
of that man that keeps the Whalley (pointing to Mr. Faireli),
and called for a maul of whiskey, for which I paid him three-
pence down on the counter; Inure betaken, he)ceeps a house
for girl/4.
Ned Farrell—You lie, you vagabond ; I keep no pirk.—
(Mitchlaughter.)—Gentlemcn (to the Magistrates). I'll cross.
examine that scoundrel.

Ned Farrell—Do you hear y.ou rameal—you paid three.pe.nce

counter.
Ned Farrell—Now you thief, I knew I'd find you out.
Oh Heavens ! (Ned in a pious attitude) is there utilaw'r
iv
there no justice is a man's life to be sworn away by such- au
infernal villain ! Ile swore on his solemn oath that he paid mu
after he drank the whiskey. Now, tientlemen, have I not
found him out? Look at hint; is there a man in Irelitrid Would
give bhn a glass of whiskey; unless he paid for it befort.thand ?
(Shouts of laughter.)
Informer-1 did pay you ; and.the girl that I took in with
me could prove the same, only she's now thirty miles oft
Ned Farrel—You lie, you villain. (Here the lklagistrates
interposed.)
Nod Farrel—Are you there, Garret Comerford ?
tiurret--'Yes, Sir.

Gentleman of great respectability now residua
at ant place

IIAVANNAII, SEPT. 1, 11123.
More important discoveries have been made
with regard to the plot mentioned in my last. The three prin-
cipal conspirators, knowing that the majority of the independent
party would not consent to their calling in the assistance of the
negroes, and aware, at the same time, that without it they could
not succeed, had secretly made terms with them. The negroes
upon' this, finding of how much 'consequence they were, coun-
terplotted, with the intention of rising in 16 days after the de'
Claration of the Independence, and murdering all the male
whites without exception, whether of the Independents or Go-
vernment party. Deputations were appointed to saear in all
the negroes, particularly the Cedereros or drivers of the Volantes,
and of whom families that keep Volantes havegenerally two or
thi*eresidenfin their houses. The white women, however, were
to lie sisred. The aged ones to be sent away from the island,
and the younger ones kept for wives. These double conspira-
tors were to have been joined by 10,000 men from St. Domingo,
ready to embark, upon receiving by express from the south of
the island an account of the rising. The island was then to
hive been divided between the negroes and mulattoes. Such
is the outline of this extraordinary counterplot. Much praise
is due to the Governor for his conduct throughout., this affair;
and I trust that, in my next, I may be able to tell you that
tranquillity is restored ; at present necessarily the public mind
is much agitated. Property has considerably fallen in value ;
as; for instance, an estate valued at 500;000 dollars is offered
by the proprietor for 100,000 dollars.caSh;

C)rr, Tyrelye o'Clock.—Consols opened, this

Steady with little fluctuation.—We do not hear
of any Express from Paris, which seldom arrives

A report prevailed that the King of SPAIN had
ratified the Spanish Loan, but it is premature.
It is, however, probable, that this event will take
place, as no doubt the new Government will

soon lie in want of a new Loan to a large amoun

and they will ratify the old one as a bait for
catching the new.

THE THE;CTRES.

Dauttv--LANL----The fluctuations of theatrical
policy have brought Mr. MACItEADY to this
House, and occasioned the return of Mr. YOUNG
to the other.
, It has indeed been reported that
Mr. YOUNG'S return to Covent-Garden arose
from the refusal of Mr. KEAN to appear OD the
same board's with him. Bat we cannot suspect
Mr. KEAN of such impolitic conduct, nor would
it be of the least use to him, as he will find as
powerful a competitor in Mc. MAcacito v. But
we leave these speculations to return to Mr.
MACREADY, who made his,first appearance last
night at this Theatre in the part of Virginias in
the tragedy with that title. The part was pur-
posely written for hint, and, therefore, of course,
was calculated to give full scope to his talents.
He has been seen so often in
,the part at the
other Theatre that we shall not imitate the
Morning Critics by an, elaborate account of his
acting. It is sufficient to say that he supported
the character with his usual energy, and that he
appeared to afford full satisfaction to the au-
dience, judging from the applause which he re-
ceived throughout. Ile was greeted at his en-
trance with the warmest testimonies of general
favour. WA LLACK'S MUDS was deservedly ap.
plauded. TERRY, in Deutalus, gave a good por-
trait of A blunt Roman soldier. AUCIIER, in
Appius Claudius, proves that he increases in pub.
lic favour as his talents are better known. Mrs.
W. WEST, in Virginia, certainly did nut come
" tardily off," but over-zeal is better than torpor
or negligence. We are glad to see so good an
actress as Mrs. GLOVED retain her station, and
her spirited performance of Sonia shewed how
well she deserves it. The Theatre was thronged
in all parts, and Peeping TOM kept a large ma-
jority of visitors to a late hour.

01 LNT•GARDENe--.-A very numerous audience
assembled last night at this Theatre, to hail the
return of Mr. You),la in Hamlet. His entrance
was marked by loud and reiterated acclamations,
particularly from the pit, which was crowded.--
Mr. YOUNG exerted himself with his usual force,
and without any attempts to give an appearance
of novelty to a part in which he has been so often
seen. if he seemed in some passages to exceed
the 44 temperance" neeeFsary 44 to give 'hem
smoothness," the audience, particularly those
in the upper regions, were so noisy that
he was obliged proportionably to increase in
energy, in order to render himself audi.

-
ble. Miss M. Tack: was it very interesting
Ophelia, and she warbled the " wild notes"
during the supposed insanity with the most
pathetic sweetness, Po/onius, the. Ghost, Ger-
trude, and the Chief Graz'e-digger, found all due
support from BLANCHARD, EGERTON, Mrs. FAH-
CIT, and FAWCETT,and all partook of the general
approbation. The Vision of the Sun followed.
In point of splendour of scenery and skilful me-
chanism this piece is one of the most striking
that has been presented to the public, and fully
justifies the popularity which attended it last
season, and is likely to be renewed during the
present.

SUN-OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK.

We stop the Press to state, that a Proclama-
tion from the King of SPAIN since his liberation
has .beft published in France, which ANNULS
all the Decrees of the Cortes since his cap-
tivity took place, and of course violates all
the promises which he had made' as the con-
ditions •of his release. Such conduct will most
probably not excite the least surprise, COO-
sidering the general opinion of his character.
We may, therefore, expect that the reign of
terror will commence in Spain with the resump-
tion of his regal authority.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.--Uninviting as the weather is
at present, the Muse of SHAIESPEARE hat still a
power of attraction which is honourable to public
taste. The tragedy of Macbeth was represented
last night at this Theatre, an as Mr. KEAN was
out of.town the hero of the loiece was assigned
to Mr. YOUNG. But the true policy of the Ma-
nagement would be to let these popular actors
appear alternately in the same characters. There
would then he a fair test of their respective
merits, and it would be a stimulus to their reci-
procal exertions. Mr. JOHN KEMBLE was not
only decidedly the best representative of Mac.-
beth within our remembrance, but far above all
competitors. Mr. YOUNG, therefore, does wisely
in following his outline, and properly inherits a
great portion of his reputation in the part. It is
but just to add that he displayed original spirit in
several passages, and gave a judicious portrait of
the whole. Mrs. W. WEST, who is'better calcu-
lated for the pathetic than the heroic, so justly.
however conceives the part of Lady Macbeth as
to render it by no means unimpressive. Mr.
COOPER'S Macdziff exceeds the ordinary rate of
merit in that character.

Cormr-GAanex.—The well merited attrac-
tion of the new Pantomime, Harlequin and the
Ogress, which was well attended last night,
has enabled this Theatre to pull up with veat
success.

MS STEPHENS and Mr. HORN, who have been
engaged for a limited number of nights by Mr.
HARRIS, are to appear at the New Theatre
this evening, as Polly and Captain Macheaths in
The Beggar's Opera.—( Dublin Morning Post.)

NORFOLK COUNTY MEETING.

NORWICH, FRIDAY, JAW. 3.
This day St. Andrew's Hall was open to the
public from eleven o'clock, and before twelve
was nearly filled; Hustings had heen erected at
the lower end of the Hall, on which the free.
holders who intended to take part in the pro-
ceedings of the day took their stations. A few
minutes before t,:t.elve Sir PAUL JODDIIELL, the
High Sheiiff olf the County, entered the Hall,
aud proceeded to take the chair, amidst the ac-
clamations of the crowd.
Mr. COKE, ,IIIr.,WODEROUSE, the Rev. GEO. GLOVER,
and many other Gentlemen accustomed to_ interest themselves
in county affairs, accompanied the High Sheriff.

The requisition calling a Meeting fur the purpose of peti-
tioning both Houses of Parliament for the adoption of measures
calculated to relieve the Agricultural Classes, was then read.
The Hum SHERIFF opened the business of the day by
stating the purpose for which the Meeting had been called, and
expressed his hope that the speakers who might present them-
selves would be allowed a fair and impartial hearing. He
took a brief view of the present depressed state of agriculture,
and set forth the importance of petitioning the Legislature
for relief.

A letter from the Earl of ALBEMARLE was then read, In
which his Lordship declined attending the meeting, conceiving
that it must be worse than useless, as it was not proposed to
petition for a Iteform in Parliament.

Mr. Alderman TRURTELL addressed the meeting,- and in a
very few words having described the existing distress, intro-
duced the Resolutions which had been drawn up for the occa-
sion, and which he thought, though temperate, were firm and
explicit.

that the ceremonial observed by them should I
be complied with by the other persons present.--
The latter resisted this dictation, and appealed
to the owner of the house, who requested that no
disturbance should be excited. The consequence
was that the heroes of the Trocadero" at-
tacked the company and broke the head of the
coffee-house keeper. The matter has been
seriously taken up by the French Authorities,
and a Commissary.sent to take the depositions
of the parties chiefly maltreated. The outrage
was entirely political. This house has been
marked as the resort of 44 Liberals" and of Of-
ficers of the old Army. A similar scene of
quarrelling took place there about two years
since, in which some Deputies of the left side
were insulted and maltreated. The Chiefs who
commanded in Spain were for the most part
of the old Buonapartean army, but the su.
balteru Officers had, in general, never served
before. It was their first campaign, and
they are, naturally enough, intoxicated by
their success. Some of them, too, were Officers of
the Garde du Corps, who had not only their pre-
sent glory to transport them, but had also some
former reproaches and humiliation to avenge.
It must be allowed that the l)►eke of Angou-
Lew bears his honours with great ineeknes.—
A Dottier remarkable circumstance in his con-
duct is, that whilst . the war party in Paris
openly demands the restoration of the Inquisi-
tion in Spain, and very distinctly advise the, abo-
lition of the Charter in France, he studiously
impresses upon those who approach him with
formal discourses of congratulation the duty of
• obeying and supporting the institutions which
exist in France at present. Hence he has almost
got into favour with the Liberals.

LIDDIAIID V. UORNE.

This was an action by Messrs. Liddiard and Co., warehouse.
men, in Friday-street, to recover against the book-keeper of
the coach-office at the Cross Keys Wood-street, the value of
a parcel booked to go by the mail to Cheltenham, but which
was sent by another coach called the Defiance, and lost.
It appeared that on the I lth of October, 1821, Mr. Davis, of
Cheltenham, went to Messrs. Liddiard's warehouse, andlooked
out goods to the value of 481. 125., which he directed should be
sent to Cheltenham, by a coach from the Bull and Mouth.—
When, however, the porter came to that inn, he found that the
coach had set out, and he accordingly took the parcel to the
Cross Keys, and there booked it, to be dispatched by the mail
that evening. The parcel was never delivered at Cheltenham;
anti, on subsequent inquiry, it was admitted that it was sent,
not by the mail, but by the Defiance.
Mr. ScanLETT, for the defendant, said he could prove that
the negligence occurred at Cheltenham, after the termination of
the journey; and also that there was a notice exhibited at the
office, that the proprietors would be answerable for no parcel
above the value of 5/. unless entered and paid for in proportion
to the risk.
The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE held,, that neither of these
grounds of defence were applicable to the case of a bookkeeper
who engaged to send a package by one coach and sent it by an-
other ; if they could succeed in such a case the public would
tie deprived of all option as to the conveyance to which goods
ought to be intrusted.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 481.125.
COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 9.
TAYLOR V. SINGLE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Taylor
' and Waters, the porter-brewers, against the defendant, Single,
to recover of him a compensation in damages for the injury which
he had done to their reversionary interest in certain premises in
the. Mile-end-road, called the Weavers' Arms, whilst-he was act-
ing under the authority of Mr. Barber Beaumont. The real
question, however, which this action was brought to deterniine
was, whether a slip of ground, six feet in breadth, adjoining the
Weavers' Arms, belonged to the plaintiffs or to 111 r. Barber
Beaumont. A variety of witnesses were examined upon this
point, whose testimony would excite no interest except with the
parties 'themselves. It was proved that lilt.. Barber Beaumont,
to assert his right to this property, had ordered Single to pull
down certain buildings which were erected Upon it, and that
the cost of re-erecting .them would amount to 1051. The Jury,
after hearing the whole of the evidence, which was very volu-
minous, returned a verdict for the'plantiff—Damages, 10.5/.

BRITISH RESIDENTS IN FRANCE.

The following Letter has been a►ldresse►i to
tho FRENCII i 1 InalSsAnOtt, on the confront ►vhich
the French Tribunals are disposed to exercise,
over, the Nrol►eety of Englishmen dying in that
Country :

TO HIS IXCELLE!;CY PRINCE rotrownc, HIS ltosT
CHRISTIAN KAI usT T'S AMBASSADOR AT THE COP IL T
OF LONDON.

Stn---I am under the necessity of troubling your Excelleihy
on a subject in which I should state that I am no otherwise
personally interested, than in the discharge of my duty as Exe•
cutor to Colonel Thornton, who died at Paris in March last ;
and which at the same time that it involves the interest of every
Englishman now resident in that country, will not fail, Ithink,
to strike you as u matter, on the decision of which the French
Government itself has a much greaterinterest at stake than any
private individual can have.
Colonel Thornton having visited France, came to England
to and fro, made his Will in England, acted with, anti treated
his property as governed by English Law, and appointed me
one of his Executors.

In this character I have been unable to obtain from the
French Tribunals any sort of acknowledgment of my rights.
1131 - the contrary, L have every reason to apprehilid that the
French Laws fin the diStrihution of the propetty a Frenchmen
Win be insisted on, anti that such of the Colonel's property as
was in France at his death, will risk being distrilnited in di
rect opposi►ion to his Will; unless by the L interference of
your Excellency, with the French Ministers, they should lay
aown to the Tribunals a better policy in the expounding of the
Law-on-this paticular subject t! an at present appears to exist
with them.

I trust, however, thetas the question really appears to be ai
much 4 political as a private one, your Excellency will excuse
my trespassing upon you in the way I do, and that you will be
kind enough to condescend to make such representatitrs on the
Subject, as the justice of the case to. mu as an individual may
appear to your to.merit, and as the magnitude of its itoportanco
to your own Government may seem to repder, more especially
necessary. I have the honour' to be, .4%.e.
With the most distinguished considiration and retipcct,

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Dvc.9.

LORD STAIR V. MURRAY.
Mr. AGAR. moved, on the part of the defendant, that the
Court wbuld direct en amended bill, which the, plaintiff had
put in, to be taken off the tile of the Court.. The facts of the
case were as follow the year 1812, Lord Stair, then Mr.
Dalrymple, being in Paris, visited the gaining-houses of that
metropolis (his Lordship alleged that he,waa trepanned into
dim), and there lost several sums or money, for which he gave
three hills of exchange for JAM. each. lie subsequently
called in these hills, And; issued in their stead, two promissory
notes, which were endorsed by Major Sir A. Don and Lieitte+
mint-Colonel Morgan. The last-mentioned gentleman depo-
sited these notes with Murray, the defendant, who was an army-
tailor at the west end of the town, who swore in his affidavit
that be gave a just cowlick:ration for them. When the notes
became due, Mr. Murray applied for payment, but Lord Stair
was unable to pi# them, and he prevailed on Mr. Murray to take
two other promissory notes of a later date,,in exchange. These
notes, alio, hie Lordship was unable to liquidate when they be-
eruntidue, but he' asked:Mr. Murray to take a. poit obit bond,
payable on the death of the then Lord Stair. Accordingly, on
the 3d of
.November, 11113, Mr. Murray. did receive from the
plaintiff a pest is bond for the value of the two promissory
notes which he held. The death of Lord Stair took place shortly
after, anti Mr. Murray applied for the payment of his bond.
The plaintitre hen refused to satisfy the demand, on the ground
that it was founded on a gambling transaction. Mr:Murray
immediately brought an action against his Lordship in the
Court of King's Much, His Lordship then applied to that

THE THEATRES.

Dnutt-Y-Lina.---The only variation in the per-
formance of The Road to Ruin last night was the
substitution of Mrs. llttuncs for Miss S. BOOTH
in part of Sophia, the latter having to fulfil a
short provincial engagement. MONDRY, as usual,
made a strong impression in 01d Dornton. We ob-
serve that some unkind comments have been made
and repeated upon HARLEY'S Goldfinch. We well
remember the excellence of LEWIS, the original re-
presentative of this character, and do not scruple
to say that HARLEY is the best of his succes-
sors that we have seen. It is ditlicultto conceive
what the fastidious critic can require that HAR.
'LEY does not supply. lie is all bustle and
animation, and seems evidently to have studied
the manners of the dashing heroes of the turf,
and if he is liable to any objection, it is
applicable rather to the excess of his vivacity
than to any falling off. This just tribute is
due to an excellent comic actor, and one who,
by all report, is an exemplary character in pri-
vate life. The farce,_ for which we did not stay,
G
was The Turnpike ate. One Morning Paper
says, that Mr. llonti, who was announced for
the part of Ilenr,y Dltint, was prevented from
appearing by indisposition, and that Mr. PENLEY
apologised for the substitution of Mr. MEr.aosr.
Another diurnal critic says, that " Mr. Hoar(
made his first appearance for the season in the
same farce, and was very favourably received :"
v " Who shall decide, when Doctors disagree?'

COTINT GARDEN.—Whatem may be said on
the dramatic merits of the musical piece entitled
Clara, it operates so strongly, and is so well
calculated to excite amiable affections, more par-
ticularly, as it is very well supported by the Per-
formers that its " salutary sorrow" is likely to
be more usefully imprussive on a mixed audience
than

" The broadest mirth unfeeling Folly wears,"
and the acting of Miss M. Tula:, to say nothing
of her beautiful singing, with the powerful effect
of FAWCETT'. parental agonies, should exempt the
piece from critical severity, independently of the
respectable efforts of the other Performers. The
piece was last night much applauded. The farce
of Fortune's Frolic, reduced to a single act, gave
Mr. RAYenta a new opportunity of confirming
the approbation of the public on his performance
of rustic characters, by his ludicrous representa-
tion of Robin Roughhead.
