MEETING of the WOOL and WOOLLEN TRADES.
A Meeting of the above Trades was this morn-
ing held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, for the purpose of re.
ceiving the Report of the Committee, appointed at a former
Meeting. Mr. BISIICOPP was called to the Chair, and
observed to the Meeting that, as he had filled a similar
honourable station on their Committee, he should proceed
at once to the reading of the Report prepared by the Com-
mittee.—The Report was then read, from which ,it appeared
that the Committee had had an interview with the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, at which they pressed on his notice
the granting of a drawback on all foreign wool remaining un-
opened in its original packages, but that
tothethreleuit the Chancellor had
assigned as a reason for refusing their request, that he had found
he could not allow a drawback on manufactured and manufactur-
ing goods, and was therefore determined not to grant any ad-
vantage that would reach CO on)), one part of the trade.
—He should propose
reducing
threepence on the :—The
hilocf
duty of sixpence to be llowered
Sept., and a further reduction to ld. on the 10th of December
next ensuing.—The report was moved to be received and
printed, after which the usual routine of !notions were made
and agreed to, and the meeting.dissolved.

WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY.—A Special Ge-
neral Court of the Proprietors of this Stock was on Thursday
held at the Company's House, in
Fenchurch_
street, for the purpose of `` Takin-
g into Consideration the Ex-
nediency of making certain further Reductions of Rates,,
Ain
consequence of the present State of the Company's Funds.'
read, the Chairman submitted to the Court a Scale of Reduc-
tin After
w tineh ich Requisitionlal 'Convening the Meeting had been
beendrtao:n
up
by the Court of Directors, and
which extended to almost every article of West India produce.
These reductions were unanimously agreed to, and are to take
oftt
effect on the 31st instant. Among other articles on which the
rates are to be lowered, are sugar, cotton, et-6,x, cocoa, oils,
ginger, all kinds of wood, spices of all kinds, also leather,
wine, rice, &c. &c. In all of these articles there is not only
to be a reduction in the prime rates, but also in the charge
for warehouse rent. The tonnage rates of ships are also to be
reduced.

AIIDEN-41ANDECIS ltles-
ORATOIIIO2COYENT-G
siah, with the exalted excellence of :Aid' its
great Composer would allow no one of his other
oratorial productions (except Samson) to be any
way comparable, was performed last night to as
full and splendid an auditory as the judgment
and taste of the ingenious Director has drawn to-
gether during the present Lent. BnAIIAM, Mrs.
SALMON, MISS STEPHEN!, and the other principal
vocalists, exerted thsmselves with all their usual
success, and the Piece went off with an eclat
worthy of its unparalleled claims. NrcnoLsos's
Concerto on the flute was very eifvetive, both in
the point of execution and the province of expres-
sion ; the latter of which qualities is peculiarly
his own. -Mrs. ANDEasox on the piano-forte ac-
quitted herself respectably ; and the evening's
performance, regarded in the aggregate, was of a
character to produce the highest gratification.

Mr. THELwALL.—rFIie sixth of the Lectures
at the Haymarket Theatre last night was better attended than
on all the preceding occasions—a due tribute to the merit of
these instructive discourses. The subject, of course, chiefly re-
lated to SFIAKSPEARE and his Pastoral, Romantic, and mixed
Comedies. The characters of Rosalind, Orlando, Jacques, and
Touchstone, were critically examined and illustrated-, as well
also those of Viola, Malrolio, Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew
Aguecheek, and, subsequently, Sherlock, Portia, Gratiano. The
Lecturer then touched on Thar a IVO, and have a Wits, and the
New way to :pay Old Dads, ia which his observations were mark- i
ed by acumen and judgment. Finally, he viewed the merits of
some of the Poems of Sir Walter Scott, and of the Novels at-
tributed to that admired writer. lle then animadverted on the
difficulty which dramatic writers find in getting their pieces on
the stage, :and the inadequate rewards which attend them when
they have been represented. We have not room for farther
notice, but we may fairly repeat cur observation, that if Mr. T.
had originally devoted himself to elocution, and such public
discussions, he would have been justly distinguished, and most
probably successful.
uNsTER BAR.—We have heard of some very
extraordinary occurrences which have just taken place in Lime-
rick. The parties mentioned are Serjeant LEFROY, the Going
Judge, Serjeant GooLD, and Mr. O'CoNN E Li- For the pre-
sent we decline stating particulars, especially as we understand
that in consequence of a requisition addressed to the Father of
the Bar, there will be a meeting of this body at Cork, for the
purpose of taking the matter into consideration, and adopting
some reselutims thereon.—( Dublin Evening Post.)
