TRADE.

'lle accounts trorn country of the fl onble
operation of an increase in the dernami fur our
trviiiiilactures„ nod a decrease in the price of
articles of necessary consumption, continue ,o be
cheering. The following arc some of the state-
ments to which we allude :

VtroacasTEn.—lt gives us real satisfaction to
state, that the applications for relief at the Wor-
cester House of Industry, have considerably de-
creased during the last few weeks. One came of
this pleasing change is an improvement which has
taken place in the glove trade, which it is well
known employs great numbers in this city and
neighbourhood.

MANCIIE2TER.-The stock on hand of manu-
factured cotton goods in the market of this place,
and of good yarns, both twist and w ft, is I, ss
by one-fourth than some years since, and trade is
improving there.
LEICESTER.—We have this week much pleasure
is the insertion of two important local documents,
one from the
.framework ,knitters,. who acknow-
ledge with gratitude the essential service rendered:
them by the Magistrates and Parochial Officers,
and admit that the majority are now fully em-
ployed at prices that will enable them, to maintain
their families with comfort, independent of paro-
chial assistance. The other from the Parochial
Officers acknowledges a considerable decrease in
weekly payments, and a -hope that every extra
expence will shortly be done away. ►'Ve are also
led to hope that the manufactory of this town is
again reviving, as we uudertand that from one
house only in this place, upwards of three tons
weight of hosiery goods were sent off during tl►e
present week.—(Leicester Journal)

IRELAND.

STATE OF THE MARKETS, CROPS, &c.

SLIGO, JULY 19.—Our markets have been well
supplied during this week. New Potatoes appear
in large quantities, and of very flue quality, at
10d. per stone.'—Oats and. Oatmeal experienced
a trifling depression since our last quotation, not-
withstanding a brisk demand from the North. Old
Potatoes are 3s. 10d. per peek, or 112 d. the stone.
This article must soon naturally disappear, and
we confidently anticipate that the :new will, in a
very short time, be bad in any quantity at the rate
of Is. to Is. 4d. per peck. The alternate rain and
genial heats, for the last few days, have produced
a rapid advance to maturity in the grain crops,
and, under the blessing of Providence, a few
weeks more will produce a harvest of 'the most
unbounded plenty.
At no period, we believe, for many years, has
the concourse of mendicants into this town been
so great as at the present season. We are happy to
perceive, however, that the number is now rapidly
decreasing, and in this decrease a fact of the ut-
most consequence is established, namely, that the
potatoe crop in the country has attained such a
degree of forwardness, as to afford sustenance to
the poor women and children, and that the hay
harvest offers ample employment to such of the
men as are able to work.—(Sligo Journal)
In this quarter of Ireland, the weather has, for
some days past, been stormy and rainy, but we
are satisfied that no serious injury has yet been
experienced. Rain is not now necessary-for some
parts of the crop, but it is to be remarked, that
it has been beneficial to others.—(Waterford
Chronicle.)

A fine field of barley, at Ballymuearrett, near
Belfast, has been cut down, and is now in stooks.

CORN IMPORTATION BILL.—The Act lately
passed is dated the 10th inst. Corn, grain, meal,
flour, and rice, may be imported in any vessel
from any country till the 14th of November next
inclusive, provided. thai the importation of grain
during the same period shall continue to be legal
under the late Act, 55 Geo. 111. cap. 26. Corn,
&c. warehoused for exportation only, may he en-
tered for home consumption. Rye-meal ware.
housed in like manner may be admitted to entry
duty free.

WHALE FlMERY.—Extract of a letter from
Hrimburgh, dated the Bth inst., received by Mr. T.
Jones, of Hull :—" To-day we basic had the
first sealer to Gluckstadt, which is a- small vessel,
and full, containing 50 pipes of sea-dogs. She
brings a very pleasing list of the 12th and 13th of
May. The ships at that time bad all an excellent
catch on the Robben coast. There are some
who have from 120 to 130 pipes of Robben blub•
ber. The English ships have also been very VIC..
CeSSfill. On that day most of the ships sailed
farther to the whale-fishing ; so if they only get
two or three fish more, we might soon have theta
all home, and full ships.
BAKERS.—One day last week Alexander Archer,
Alexander Hogg, John Ramsay, and George Wright,
of Deptford, in Kent, bakers and sellers of bread,
were severally convicted by the Rev. CHARLRS
BURNEY, D. D., and JoHN MASON, Esq., two of
his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county
of Kent, in the several penalties following, viz.
—the said Alexander Archer for having in his pos-
session a liquor or ingredient strongly impregnat-
ed with alum, the sum of 121.; the said Alexan-
der Hogg, for a like offence, the sum of 101.;
the sail John Ramsey, for a like offence, the situ
of 101. ; and the said George Wright, for having
alum in his possession, the sum of 21., which in-
gredients were adjudged by the said Juszices, af-
ter due examination, to have been in the posses-
sion of the above-named defendants respectively,
for the purpose of using the same in the adultera-
tion of bread.

Sunday, a child, belonging to Mr. WHITE, of
the Lord Nelson public-house, Maidstone, fell
into the Midway, from Mason's wharf. A poor
man, standing at some little distance, who saw
the accident, immediately jumped into the river,
and succeeded in securing the child ; and swim-
ming with it to the shore; where it was soon
completely recovered. The poor fellow who ef-
fected this deed of charity was " clothed in rags,"
but the compassionate bye-standers instantly en.
tered into a subscription, and raised a sum suffi.
cient to procure him a decent suit of clothes,
which they presented to him as a reward for his
humanity.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 21.

At4gr;OTTOq AND CO. 2L. HARCOURT ANb OTHERS.

This was tan application by Mr. Leach on the
part of the defendants, for having an injunction
dissolved which had been originally granted in he
cause of a bill being filed, in which it was stated
that the defendants had agreed to give certain
leasehold ant freehold premises as security for the
sum of 20,000/. which the plaintiffs agreed to ad-
vance to him and his partner, who were specula-
tors in purchasing and selling estates. The de-
fendant stated in his answer, that the plantifis had
agreed to call on him for no money till the secu-
rities which they held in their kands were used,
such securities, according to their own statement,
being available. The defendant had, however,
been informed, and firmly believed, that though
they had such securities in their hands they had
not availed themselves of them: It was on this
ground that he rvished the injunction should be
dissolved ; for besides, he- must say that it was
singular in a prudent kind of view, that this in-
junction should have ever been applied for and
no receiver appointed. The injunction wa- grant-
ed for the purpose of preventing the defendant
from collecting the rents of the property; and
why, :in the name of wonder, had a receiver not
been appointed in this ease, as it was obvious the
rents were in danger by• no such appointment
taking place. With the wisdom and prudence
of this measure the Court had nothing to do, as,
the simple 'question Was; Whether the injunction
granted in such a way &nil(' possibly be sanctioned
by the approbation of the Conti. There Was only
one thing, however, which his Lordship would
attend to, viz, the propriety of not allowing these
rents to he in the hands of the tenants.
Mr. HALL followed.

Sir-SAMUEL ROMILLY, on the other side, said,
that the reason of the injunction being granted
without the appointment of a receiver, was, that
Mr. Harcourt had agreed to convey the property
for seem ity of the debt due by him and his part.
ner. A deed was drawn up which Mr. Harcourt
had, from time to time, promised by his solicitor
to execute, but these promises having been found
to he delusive, the injunction was thought indis.
pensibly necessary, and was therefore applied for.
lie (Sir Samuel Romilly) had no objection to a
receiver being appointed, as he thought this in.
the mean time was the best plan which could be
adopted.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—I approve of your
having a receiver. Let the Master therefore ap-
point a proper person to be a receiver, and let him
take care of the property comprised in the agree-
ment. The Master will, in the•mean time, see
that the property be properly applied. I should
think, Sir Samuel, the plaintiffs ought to have
the charge of paying into Court such rents as are
now due.

Mr. LEACH wished Mr. Harcourt should be
allowed to 610 so, but the Court decided that the
plaintiff should do so, without prejudice.

ORDERS or COURT RELATIVE TO BANKRUPT CASES.
Mr. MoNTAGu having asked his Lordship to
Lear a bankrupt case between this day and the
:27th of August next, his Lordship replied,
Geotlemen—l here beg leave to inform you,
that I shall not sit after the 25th of August next.
j must further' observe, that as several 4pplications
bare been made to me for the purpose of my hear-
ing petitions in bankrupt cases out of their order,
I shall cert,tinly on no account hear any petitions
out of order, unless some extraordinary grounds
are stated to induce me to do so. I believe all of
you wiil do me the justice to say, that no man
can feel more deeply than myself, the painful.pri-
vations which Parties in this Court must undergo,
by their cases being long detained in the Court.
At the same time, should I consent to this appli-
cation,. I do not see why I should not do it in a
tholsand other cases, as the same arguments for
the one might be brought forward for the other ;
and by doing so, I might be the means of ruin-
ing those individuals, whose cases, by priority of
claim, I ought to have-heard first. It is but just
1 should hear parties in, regular order ; and there-
fore I beg, in future, all such, applications as the
present be desisted from. On the 25th of August
I shall rise, and till then I shall most assuredly
give all my attention to such cases as shall come
before nte—an assurance of which I believe you
'require no pledge.
The other cases were chiefly bankrupt petitions,
wiaich were of no interest but to the parties, and
on Saturday he is to give judgment in several
cases.
