EAST INDIA HOUSE.

EQUALIZATION OF DUTIES ON SUGAR.
Yesterday the adjourned debate on the resolutions proposed
on Thursday by Mr. Forbes was resumed.
Mr. WEEtnwo and Mr. MACAULAY spoke in support of
the resolutions,
Mr. HUME followed on the same side, and used many argu.
ments in favour of a free trade, not only in sugar, but in all the
commodities of East Indian commerce.
Mr. S. DIXON supperted the amendment of. Mr. Plummer,
and thought that, considering the great and peculiar difficulties
under which cultivation of sugar m the West Indies laboured,
the merchants were entitled to the preference which the law
secured them in the home market.
Mr. It. JAcKsow contended for an open trade in sugar, and
expatiated on the advantages to the Asiatic atid itrltish (*mar t,
nines which might be derived from an unrestrained comtnere,..
Mr. STErrms supported the resolutions.,
Mr. FORBES replied.
The CHAIRMAN put the question, so as to take the sense or
the Court on both at the same time.:-." that the words proposed
to be left out stand part of the question." .
The question was carried in the affirmative.
A ballot was demanded, which the Chairman appointed to
take place on Tuesday, the 18th of April next.

IRELAND.

A Gentleman who resides in the County of Cork, celled
us a few days ago, and gave a most frightful account of the
state of society in that part of the Kingdom. He assured us,
that the country Gentlemen are obliged to keep their hre-srms
on their tables during dinner, not knowing the moment they
might receive a visit from some party or other of the ruffians
who infest the CoUntry.-L-(Car/ow Morning Post)
The news from the south to-day is of the same alarming
nature as for some time past.--Fires blase in every ran of the
country, and defenceless families are every where driven to the
road. One such scene in England, us we. Lave nightly occur.
ring here, would rouse the whole Kingdom, and. suggest im-
mediate inquiry into the conduct of our Rulers.----( Thalia

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.

The CHIEF COMMISSIONER promulgated a Rule to the'
following effect, and hoped that those persons present, connect-
ed with the public Press, would disseminate it as widely as
possible
;---
"One of the rules of this Court is, that no Attorney of the
Court shall, in any case, receive more than'the sum of 61. for
business done therein for any Insolvent, until he shall have
submitted his bill for taxation. Whatever may be the arrange.
ment between the Insolvent and the Attorney, the latter, by
such practice, violates one of the positive rules of the Court ;
and, if such a departure from the observance of it comes be-
fore the Court in future, relating to 'any specific individual,
the Court ;All promptly notice it, and ascertain the truth of
the statement.

" A public discussion elswhere has induced the Court to no-
tice this circumstance, and we find that one of the Attorneys,
Whose name the Court will not mention, has in tiro 'instances
received more than the specified sum without submitting his
bill to taxation; and should it occur again, that Attorney will
certainly be removed, and struck off the rolls of the Court im-
mediately. The Court will also cause such removal to be no—
tified to the superior Courts, and it is not very difficult to con-
jecture what steps will be adopted by those who preside in
them."

gence by prolonging my obseivations.

DREADFUL FIRE.

This morning, a little after eight o'clock,
a fire broke out at a Carpenter's shop,
tuate in Whetstone's Park, Lincoln's Inn-fields,
and adjoining to the great timber-yard of Mr.
CRUDDASS• As it is surrounded by a
,number
of old wood premises, great apprehensiOns were
entertained that the fire would be very
destructive ; but, happily, from the exer-
tions of the neighbours, and the fire-englnes
which were soon collected, no very great damage
was done. The chapel, in , Gate-street, is a
good deal injured, as well as two or three houses
in the same street. We do not hear of any
accident. It appeared that the fire was arca-
sioned by the carpenters, when they went to
breakfast, having left on the fire a pot containing
combustible matter.

ACCOUT.
[From the Short-hand Writer of the InsolvNent Debtors' Court.]
This morning a fire broke out in Whetstone
Park, Lincoln's Inn-fields, at the adjoining pre-
mises of J. MASSEY, Esq. Chief Clerk to the
Insolvent Debtors' Court, whose town residence
is No. 2, Gate-street. This Gentleman was
induced to rise early on professional business, and
first discovered the fire, and gave instant alarm.
Unfortunately Mrs. MASSEY, who is supposed to
be in the last stage of pregnancy, together with
her children, came up from the country house, at
Drayton, a few days ago, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that they were conveyed, almost
in a state of nudity, to the house of Mr.Sotrrito ATE,
where they received every attention. At present
it is not ascertained from what source the fire
sprung, but several houses are destroyed, and
the whole of the neighbourhood thrown into the
greatest consternation. We are happy to state
that, as Chief Clerk of the Court, it happened
that Mr. MASSEY had no important documents
destroyed, which on other occasions might have•
been the case ; had it been so, serious inconve-
nience would have resulted. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed on the exertions of the
Police for protecting the property, and the fire.
men for their laborious exertion to prevent the
extension of the conflagration.

COURT OF KING'S PEXCII.—(Tms DAY.)

OPPURMAN V. S MUTT AND °TITERS.

This was an action brought by the Plaintiff
against the Defendants, to recover a compensa-
tion in damages under the following circum-:

stances :
The Plaintiff formerly rented a house belong-
ing to the Defendant Smith, the corner of Ship-
alley, in Ratcliffe-highway. After a quarter's
rent had become due, the Plaintiff removed his
goods from the premises without the knowledge
of Smith, or even paying the rent due,
and let, the premises to a person named
Sydney, who gave information to the land-
lord of the removal of the goods, when he
sent in Mr. Draper, a broker, and his man.
On examining the rooms of the plantiff, the pro.
perty was all gone, with, the exception of a few
trifling articles, which had been conveyed away
by the side door into the alley, consequently the
defendant followed the goods to another house,
and there seized them, and the present action,
now brought by the plaintiff, was to recover a
recompence for having his house entered and
goods seized.
Mr. GUaNET, for the defendant, addressed
the Jury, and observed that the manner iu which
the plaintiff had removed his goods was a frau-
dulent one, and done to cheat his client out of
his rent. The Learned Counsel maintained that
the defendant had a just right to follow the goods
and seize them wherever they could be found, as
the removal was clandistine.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE briefly summed up
the evidence, and the Jury, after a few minutes
consultation, returned their verdict for the de-
fendant.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--L(Txis DAY.)

CURIOUS CASE OF APPEAL.
The Parish of Topsham, Devon, v. the Parish
of St. Gilests in the Fields.
This was an appeal by the former parish
against the latter, for having illegally removed
two pauper children named Fay, from the re-
spondent to the appellant parish, which was sup:
posed to be their legal settlement.
Mr. ANDREWS called the father of the paupers,
who swore he was born at New York in America,
and had never gained any settlement in England.
Mr. Avot.ritus cross examined him, in the
course of which he declared he should not know
his own father.—(Load laugh.)—He was quite
sure lie was not born at Culmstock, in Devonshire.

John Fay, an old grey-headed man, was then
confronted with the last witness, and swore he
was his son Jack, and that he was 19 years
younger than himself ; that he was born at
Culmstock, and at the age of nineteen ho
enlisted into the Marines with Sergeant Davey,
and, after eleven years absence from England,
he returned to Culmstock, where he married.
John Fay, the son, protested the old man was
not his father, nor was he ever in the marines,—
he had served on board a man-of-war, the Eury-
dice. _

MATCH FOR ONE HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS.
An interesting nice took place yesterday morning, made on
the preceding evening over some mellow port, at the Turf
Coffee-house, between Mr. Hewston, late of the Guards, and
Gilbert Stanhope, Esq. It was to go on foot twenty miles,
and Mr. Hewston backeti himself to do his work within two
hours and a half in several bye bets. The match was run on '
a mile piece of ground, leading from Hanwel towards Hai.-
row, and betting was even. Mr. Stanhope cut out the work,
and did his first mile in six minutes and ten seconds. It was a
very tine race. Mr. Hewaton keeping close with his oppo-
nent. Both were together at the tenth mile, which was perform-
ed in one hour and ten minutes. The travelling pace was about
a mile in seven minutes and ten seconds ; but-in the sixteenth
mile Mr. Stanhope fell off' his speed, and resigned in the
eighteenth, Mr. Hewston kept at work to win his bye bets,
and he did so by accomplishing the ground in two hours and
twenty.five minutes, with apparent ease. The company was
chiefly gentlemen acquaintances of the parties.

once obtained, the place was yielded to other'
adventurers, who came in the same manner to en-
rich themselves and to remove with the fruits of
their extorsions into tlieir native land:, But
meanwhile many settled in the country, and
better state of society was gradually introduced.'
At length the United Stites of America gave the.
signal of emancipation ; and the progress they
made in civilization, and in,political importance,
must prove an inducement for other colonies to
imitate their example. If this event tended ma-
terially to the naturalization of the arts and
sciences, and to‘the amelioration of society, in
America, these beneficial incidents were power-
fully excited, in another quarter, by the subse-
quent removal of the Court of Lisbon to the
Brazils. The time is perhaps, not far distant
when Bahia and Rio Janiero will rival Washing-
ton and New York, in intellectual acquire-
ments. Though the human intellect in the United
States is, perhaps, as yet at a Ipwer ebb than
among the most enlightened nations of Eu-
rope; still, if we recollect how comparatively
recent have been their exertions hi the career of
knowledge, and dispassionately examine what it
has recently produced, we shall be struck with the
perfection which it has already attained. That a
similar improvement will take place in the Spanish
colonies, should they effect their emancipation,
we have every possible rer.son to believe ; and it
is under this impression that we wish well to
their cause. As rebellious subjects, if rebels
they be, they are not wholly free from blame;
but as men endeavouring to assert their rights,
and to benefit their condition, by throwing off an
oppressive yoke, and to take the rank which
Providence has no doubt assigned them in the
political world, they must obtain the sympathy of
every enlightened and liberal mind.

[MORNING HERALD.]

The French Papers of Tuesday last, which we
received yesterday evening, contain a fuller, at-
though not an official, detail of the capture of
Trocadero, than what was communicated some
days before by a telegraphic dispatch. The
place was carried by a sudden attack, made on
the morning of the 31st, or rather the night of
the 30th ult., when the French troops, availing
themselves of the darkness which then prevailed,
waded across theditch, and mounted the ramparts,
which they got possession of, after defeating the
Spanish cannoneers who had been stationed at the
guns. The loss of the French is stated to have
been no more than 140 in killed and• wounded,
and this is accounted for by tbs. circumstance of
the guns not being able to bear upon then►, the
balls having passed over their heads. Such is
the statement contained in the French papers,
which affect to represent this achievement as
one of vast importance. It is, however, an
event to which we attach very little import-
ance, so far as regards the ulterior operations
of the assailants. It is well known, that the
Trocadero cannot be called a fortress, nor is it a
place of any strength, Ilut an insignificant redoubt,
which had been formed merely for the purpose of
impeding the advance of an enemy towards the
bay of Cadiz ; and this may be inferred from the
account which the French themselves gave of its
capture. A well fortified place could never be
taken, in the way they. describe. The ditches
of such a place could not be approached, until
after a severe conflict at what is called the
covered way; nor passed over without fascines
or floating bridges ; nor could the ramparts
be ascended without ladders ; and even during
these operations the assailants would be enfilded,
and numbers of them destroyed, by the fire of the,'
bastions, which are always attached to well-for-
tified places. But from the account before us, it
is evident that there was neither a covered way
nor bastion ; that the ditch was fordable, and'
that the ramparts were so low as not to op-
pose any obstacle to the assailants in ascend-
ing them. So much for thins boasted advantage.
gainingd by the besiegers of Cadiz, whose
statement respecting the small amount of thi.ir

toss, compared to:that of the. Spaniurds,-;s
altogether unworthy of credit. The telegrlphic
account stated the loss of the Sp;lniards in killed
and wounded to have been 400. It is •evident
then, that there must have been very severe fight-
ing ; and 16 it to be supposed that,, a great body
of assailants, who always roust fight under con..

negociation), simply announces, Ist, 'the receipt
of a letter from FERDINAND, stating that he is
free, and that he will go to PM St. Mary when
the Duke chooses, and 2dly, the Duke's expecta-
tittn that FERDINAND will be there (at Port St.
Mary) on the next day, viz. September 9.9 th.—
Stl. That the second Dispatch is dated, not
from Chielana, but from Port St. Mary, at
half past six, in the evening of the 29th.
4th. That this second Dispatch says nothing
of FERDINAND, leaving it to be merely inferred,
either that he had not come, or that lie had
visited the Prince, and had, after an unsatisfac-
tory interview; returned into Cadiz.

bth. That either of these inferences is equally
probable ; for although it would certainly be
surprising, if an interview had taken place, that
the Duke should suppress all mention of it, yet
it is not less surprising and unaccountable, on
the contrary hypothesis, that he should omit
to st►►te that the KING'S intention had been
changed, and that his own previous expectation
of an interview had been disappointed.
6th. That the balance of probability is turned
in favour of an interview having actually taken
place, by the Duke's statement that the negocia-
tion had been broken off ; for as it appears to be
clear that there was DO. negotiation previous to
the 29th, the declaration that the negociation was
broken off can only be rationally explained by
the presumption that FEItn►NAND did come to
Port St. Mary in the character of a negotiator;
and that he proposed terms to which the Duke of
ANUOULEIME refused to accede.

7th. That FERDINAND'S return, under such
circumsta►►ces, to Cadiz, is accounted for by sup-
posing that his f►►mily were held as hostages ;
and that the same supposition satisfactorily ac-
counts both for his havi►►g proposed terms to
hict► the Duke refused to accede, and for the
Duke affecting to consider him as still deprived
of his liberty.

dinner of substantial wear and tear, at Shelton's, in (.ate-

at Randal's, on the day fortnight before the battle. This is
the most interesting match that could be made with big men
of about equal weights Joshua, the lion-hearted, is too much
famed in combat to mention more than his name. Ward is a

SPARRING.

Sampson had his benefit at the Fives' Court yesterday.
There was a tolerably numerous assembly. The seuhto were
between Reid and Kitchener ; Cooper and stockman ; Belaseo„
jun. and (iipsey, jun. ; Oliver and Whitehead; the General
of the Tribe and Seroggins ; and Sampson and Crawley.

Dnxxwa►mr ON lionsEnAca.—The Moors {re.
(polity amuse ihemselves by riding with the
utmost apparent violence against a wall, and a
stranger would conceive it impossible for them to
avoid being dashed to pieces, when, just as the
horse's head touches the wall, they stop him with
the utmost accuracy. To strangers on I►orseback
or on foot, it is a coma►on species of compliment
to ride violently up to them, as if intending to
trample them to pieces, and then to stop their

horses short, and fire a musket in theii. faces.
Upon these occasions they aro very proud in dis.
coveting their dexterity in horsemanship, by mak-
ing the animal rear up, so as nearly to throw him
on his back, putting him immediately after to the
full speed for a few yards, and stopping hint
instantaneously ; and all this is accompanied
by loud and hollow cries. There is another
favourite amusement, which displays, per.
haps, superior agility. A. number of persons
on horseback start at the same moment, ac.
companied with loud shouts, gallop at full
speed to an appointed spot, when they stand up
strait in the stirrups, put the reins, which fire
very long, in their mouths, level their pieces, and
fire them oW, throw their firelocks immediately
over their right shoulders,. and stop their horses,
nearly at the 'same instant. This also is their
manner of engaging in an action.

RENCONTItE.----A dispute arose yesterday morn-
ing in the Foreign Stock Exchange, between Mr.
L. and Mr. G,., both Gentlemen of high respect-
ability. Argument ran high—both parties waxed
warm—and Mr. G., transported beyond the
limits of reason, at length so far forgot himself
as to apply the ungracious epithet of " Rascal"
to Mr. L., who, by a mechanical vibration of his
list, so completely destroyed the equilibrium of
Mr. G., that but for the dense crowd by which
they were enclosed, that Gentleman would have
undoubtedly been prostrated. The rencontre

here terminated through the interposition of by.
stnnders.

Sweet, simple Poet, thou art PO !
And shall no parting tear be shed
fly those to whom thy name was known,
Above thy ,low and lonely bed ?
Shall not a. pilgrim, lingering by,
Gaze on thy turf, and heave a sigh.?

Yes.! many many ! for thy heart

%Vas humble as the violet low,
That, shelter'd in some shady part,
We only by its perfume know ;
Yet genius pure, which God had given,
Shone o'er thy path—a light from heaven !
'Mid poverty it cheer'd thy lot,

darkness it illumed thine eyes,
And shed on earth's most dreary spot
A glory borrow'd from the skies :
Thine were the_shows of earth and air,
Of Winter dark, and Summer fair.

Before thee spread was Nature's book,
And, with a bard's enraptured glance,
By thee were seen,
.in glen and brook,
A limitless inheritance;
Thy ripening boyhood look'd abroad,
And saw how grand was man's abode.
Expanding with thine added days,
Thy feelings ripen'd and refined,
Though none were near thy views to raise,
Or train to fruit the budding mind;
As grows the flower amid the wild.
Such was thy fortune—Nature's child !

No pompous Learning--no parade
Of pedantry, and cumbrous lore,
On thy elastic bosom weigh'd ;

Instead, were thine a mazy store
Of feelings delicately wrought,
And treasures glean'd by silent thought.
Obscurity, and low-born Care,
Labour, and IVant—all adverse things
Cotnbin'd to bow thee to despair ;
And of her young untutor'd wings
To rob thy genius—'Twas in vain ;
With one proud soar she burst her chain.

The beauties of the budding Spring;
The glories of the Summer's reign :
The russet Autumn triumphing
in ripen'ti fruits end golden grain :
Winter with storms around his shrine ;
lach in their.turns, were themes of thine.

And lowly lift, the peasant's lot,
Its humbkhopes, and simple joys';
By mountain-stream the shepherd's cot :
And Whit The rustic hour employs ;
White flocks on NaturcN carpet spread ;
Birds blythely carolling o'er-head.
These wertilthy themes, and thou welt blest,
'eat blest beyond the wealth of kings;
Calitt)oYl; seated in the breast

Of the rapt poet as he sings;
And all that Trutli or Hope can bring
Of beauty,,gilds the Muses wing,
And, Bloomfield, thine were blissful days,

(If flowers of bliss may thrive on earth ;)
Thine was the glory and the praise

Of genius link'd with modest worth ;
To Wisdom wed, remote from strife,
Calmly pass'd o'ee thy stormless life.
And thou art dead—no more, no more
To charm the land with sylvan strain ;
Thy harp is hush'd, thy song is o'er,
But what Is sung shall long remain,
When cold this hand, and lost this verses
Now hung in reverence on thy hearse !
