e have heard much of the talents of an Actor
named MACKAY, who has appeared with very
great success in the Edinburgh Theatre, and we
therefore readily give insertion to the following
Letter, which we have reason to believe is the
production of the famous Caledonian Bard of the
present day, who is as much distinguished for the
liberality of his disposition as for his poetical
genius :
44 EDINBURGH, .JUNE 11.—Mr. MACKAY, or the
Theatre Royal of this city, sets off for London,
to try -his foiiune for two nights in Covent-gar-
den. The extreme delight which has been re-
ceived here from his minute, at the same time
spirited delineations of the worthy Magistrate,
Beattie Nicol Jamie, makes us patriotically ari.
xious that our brothers of the land of cakes should
• be aware of the very uncommon treat now pre-
paring for them. We can scarce hope that the
part, as performed by. MACKAY, will be, on' a
first representation at least, altogether under-
stood by a southern audience, because it wants
the broad outlines of national caricature; but a
Caledonian wilt at once discover all the finer
finishing of the part, and be aware that Mr.
Nicol Jarvic is not only the Scotchman, but the
Scotch manufacturer; not only the Scotch manu-
facturer, but the Glasgow _Millie; and not
only the son of his worthy predecessor the Dea;-,
con, but the cousin of the redoubted Rob Roy.
—lt is no disparagement to your inimitable
LISTON that he cannot be all this, because
he is not a native .of Scotland., and cannot be
aware of those provincial distinctions which are so
nicely marked by Mr. MACKAY. We therefore
earnestly wish, as in the case of foreigners, our
worthy Baillic should be tried by. an audience.
containing a proper mixture of his countrymen ;
and we humbly pray such as may sojourn in the
land of beef and Pudding not to neglect this
hint. Mr. MACKAY'S performance in Rob Roy
was attended by a run of the most distinguished
and uninterrupted success; he was highly praised
in Peter's. Letters, and we believe •is the only
person who ever received a written communica-
tion from the learned JEDEDI Ail CLEISIIBOT/lA3I,
testifying his high approbation of his perfor-
mance, and enclosing, it is said, a substantial •
testimony of his regard. Our Scotch friends
should also be aware, that in countenancing a
performer of high merit, they will also serve a
very modest and respectable countryman:"

Yesterday the remains of Mr. FORBES were re-
moved from his house in Fitzroy-square, for in-
terment, with great funeral pomp. The process
sion was preceded by six men on horseback, the
hearse with six horses, Mr. FORBES'S carriage en-
tirely muffled with black cloth, and the horses
with velvet. Forty-three private carriages followed.
The body was conveyed to St. James's Chapel,
Hampstead-road, where it lay in state this day,
when it will be conveyed to the family vault in
Aberdeenshire.

CHARGE OF MURDER.—Yesterday, Thomas Taylor was
put to the bar, at Lambeth-street Police Office, charged with the
murder of William Foley, yesterday morning, in Blue Anchor-
yard, Rosemary-lane. It appeared that the deceased died of
a blow he received in a boxing match with the prisoner.
The Magistrate ordered the Prisoner to be remanded until the
Coroner's verdict should be obtained.
It is impossible to appreciate the advantages of
the present Lottery, to be drawn 10th July, too
highly. The public are sure to obtain the Prizes
of 24,000," 16,000, and many other Capitals
of X 2,100, &c. which must then be drawn, at a
very trifling risk indeed ; and they cannot have
a Blank, as every Ticket which is not drawn will
have nearly three-fourths of the whole money re-
turned, viz. every Ticket will receive 171. and
every Sixteenth, 1/. 3s. 6d. other Shares in pro-,
portion. 'Such great Prizes at such trifling risk,
every person should immediately avail themselves
of. . The time is short, and such an opportunity'
not likely to occuragain.—J. and J. SI VEWItI

TIIE'LONDON JOURNALS.

Y EXTRACTS FROM TIIIL MORNING PAPERS.

June

[MORNING FOST.]

The House of Commons, it is expected, will
Nave got through the whole of their business by
the middle of next week, when they will adjourn
for, a few days, in order to afford time to the
Lords to pass the Bills now in progress and on
Tuesday se'nnight ParliaMent is expected to be
proro.gued.
We have again to congratulate the Public on
the state of the City poll. Yesterday Alderman
Gar rata was 970 a head of his Crook-ed opponent ;
and it is now certain that the proud triumph
which we early anticipated cannot be prevented
by the utmost efforts of the City faction—either
by " Hook or by Crook."—( Ibid.)

[MORNING CIIRONICLE.]
The warfare which Mr. Ilume has waged with
so much ability and perseverance against Extra-
vagance and Corruption throughout the Session,
has terminated in a manner not a little flattering
to that Gentleman. With the assistance of the
depressed state of Agriculture, he has succeeded
in. bringing over a number of Country Gentlemen
.from the ranks of the Treasury ; he has heard
his services to the Country loudly extolled by
the supporters of Lord Londonderry ; and lie
has gained one great point, the recognition of the
principle that Salaries should be brought back to
the standard of 1797. The warfare has not re-
dounded much to the credit of Ministers, either!
with the country at large or their own adherents;
and in spite of their majorities and their affected
taunts, they have been forced at last to yield
much to the gelr.,ral opinion. Lord Londonderry
affected to be very humorous on the subject of
the rapidity of Mr. Hume's economical tamer.
" When he found'," said the Noble Lord, " that
the Government had resolved to do some-
thing) he resolved to take a leap beyond
them, and a Harlequin leap be made of it—
Mr. Grimaldi himself could not have sur-
passed it ; but so far, was he from agreeing
in the promise that the Honourable Gentleman
had made, that he should consider himself a
Mountebank if he were capable of saying that
four millions additional could be saved." Na—
to do the Noble Lord justice, he is never very
fond of saying that any thing can be saved. In
the beginning of the Session we were "told that
economy had been already carried as far as it
w. as possible to carry it—that no further reduc-
tions could be made ;.and yet we now find it ad-
mitted on all hands that there is great room for
economy. Indeed, no man can read Mr. Hume's
speech attentively, without being convinced that
very great savings may be made in almost every
department of our expenditure ; • and however
averse Lord Londonderry may be to rapidity of
motion, if Mr. Hume continues to display the
same industry and perseverance, we have no
.doubt the Noble Lord will at last be forced to
wend his pace considerably.

[THE TIMES.]
It is not our custom to flatter men of any rank
.or condition connected with the political con-
cerns` of the country ; being always more atten-
tive to measures than to men. llowever,. as a
great deal of abuse has been heaped upon Mr.
Hume by the stupid retainers of Government, it
is proper :hat they should know what their mas-
ters-think of the efforts of that Gentleman, that
they may not in future be too hasty in hazard-
ing opinions upon subjects on which they are in-
competent to judge. Lord Castlereagh, for
example, entertains a very different notion of
.the powers of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen,
from The Courier newspaper ; and in the appre-
ciation of authorities, we suppose that of his
Lordship will be allowed to possess the most
value. Lord Castlereagh hoped that Mr. flume
,would resume his labour next Session : he ad-
mired his industry and talents; he even seemed
to think that he had launched into details above
human powers.

[NEW TIMES.]
The impudent quackery of puffing Mr. Joseph
ume in Tire Times deserves to be exposed,' as
much as ever the puffs of his brother Surgeon
J)r. Early did. It came out, not long since, that
Mr. Hume was a Correspondent of The Times ;
.then we heard Mr. Hume praising The limes;
then The Times praised Mr. Hume : and now we
are unblushingly told that " he overpowers the
retainers of office, by the•extent and accuracy
of his intelligence" !! !. His accuracy ! What!
Can it ever be forgotten that this accurate Gen-
tleman actually moved a string of Resolutions in
Parliament grounded on calculations in which he
had mistaken one column of figures for another?
blunder-rot Which a boy of - ten. years -old
would have deserved• to be- whipped, was pro-
posed by this accurate Gentleman to be solemnly
adopted by the British Parliament ! Then,
as to the extent of :his information, to be'
sure, a person who contents himself with
stir h vague and muddle headed notions,
may easily inn from one to another, and .talk de-
omnibus rebus, et de quibasdam aliis ; but in any
other point of view, common sense must tell us,
that the very pretension to such multifarious
knowledge is a piece of rank Charlatanerie.—
,Let us only look at the documents in The Times
of yesterday, which that acute Journal pronounces
to be." the most important" and " most singu-
lar documents on the finances of the nation that
were ever niade public !" " This is the wonder-
ful lion from the wilek of Africa !" says the show-
man ; ten feet five inches from the point of the
lose to the tip of the tail, and ten feet five inches
from .the tip of the tail to the point of the nose—
the most finest .hannywal ever travelled; he can
carry off a bullock in his mouth as thof it wur a
lamb, and are as gentle as a lady's lap-dog—
Geet oop, my fine fellor."

We venerate and admire a wise political eco.
lawny; but we want words to express our con
tempt of those Quacks, who under the name o
retrenchment would involve our finances in inex

tricable confusion. CC In hot reformation," says
the great Burke, " in what men more zealous
than considerate call making clear work, the
whole is generally so crude, so harsh, so intligest-
ed ; mixed with so much imprudence and so
much injustice ; so contrary to the whole course
of human nature, and human institutions, that the
very people who are most eager for it, are among
the first to grow disgusted at what they have
done. Then some part of the abdicated grievance
is recalled from its exile, in order to become a
corrective of the correction. Then the abuse as-
sumes all the credit and .popularity of a Reform.
The very idea of purity and disinterestedness in
politics falls into disrepute, and is considered as
a vision of hot and inexperienced men ; and thus
disorders become incurable, not by the virulence
of their -own quality, but by the unapt and vio-
lent nature of the remedies."—(lbid.)

[BRITISII PRESS.]
With reference to the objects contemplated
by Mr. Ilume, there appears in examining the
language of the Address and of the Amendment,
very little cause for preferring the one form of
words to the other, nor is it easy to perceive
why the Ministers, who opposed the motion with
all their power, should have unanimously con-
curred in the tenor of the Amendment. The pub-
lic, however, we think, have some cause to be grati-
fied with the debate and the result, nor indeed
has Mr. flume, in his apparent defeat, any reason
to complain, for the Amendment recognises
as strongly as need be the propriety of pur-
suing a strict and anxious inquiry into the expen-
diture of the country, with a view to the enforc-
ing of an efficient and palpable retrenchment.
Mr. Hume's motion had merely a prospective ob-
ject ; it bore no reference even by implication to
the past conduct of the Government ; it convey-
ed no censure nor testified any feeling of the dis-
pleasure of Parliament at any past sins of omis-
sion or transgression ; it prayed for a minute in-
vestigation into the mode and expence of the
management and collection of the revenue—for a
careful revision of all salaries and allowances,
especially of those which had been increased
since 1797, that they may be adjusted with re-
ference to the increased value of the currency—
and finally fora general reduction in the expendi-
ture of the country, particularly in the military
establishment. This proposition was vigorously
opposed, and one is almost tempted to
suspect that the opposition of the Ministers and
their friends on this occasion was governed by a
principle of caprice, or perhaps by some other
feeling not more respectable, when we find the
very same suggestions comprised in Mr. Bankes's
Amendment are received with smiles of approval
and' adopted by acclarhation. In the Amendment
his Majesty is humbly but earnestly entreated to
give directions that an investigation similar in
principle to that which has been instituted in the
department of the Customs maybe extended to all
other branches of the revenue, with a view to ren-1
dering " the collection of it more economical aid
its management more efficient." If any weight
were to be attached to the terms of two proposi-
tions which are similar in principle and spirit, the
terms of the Amendment most manifestly imply
a stronger censure upon the -existing system,
whatever it may be, with regard to the " collec-
tion" and ".management" of the revenue, than
can be inferred from the terms of the original
motion. The amendment then proceeds to re-
commend, " for the purpose of affording a fur-
ther relief to the country," that a minute inquiry
should be instituted in the several departments
of the civil government, " as well with a
view to reducing the number of persons
employed, as with reference to the in-
creased salaries granted to individuals since
the year 1797 ;" and finally, " that every possi-
ble saving should be effected in the more ex-
tended establishments which the country is
obliged to maintain for the safety and defence of
the United Kingdom, and more especially in the
military expenditure, by a reduction in the num-
bers of the army, and by a constant and vigilant
superintendence over that and all the other de-
partments of the State."

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

(From " The York Chronicle.")

It will be seen that the Constitutional Association, in propor-
tion as it is calumniated and vilified, its numbers and its funds
increase. Well, indeed, may the Committee express their sa-
tisfaction in being able to exhibit so gratifying a proof of the
continued estimation in which their efforts are held by the loyal
and well disposed part of their fellow subjects. Finn in the
principles upon which the Institution was established, they
commendably avow that they will not suffer themselves
to be turned aside from their duty by the calumnies and
falsehoods of known violators of the laws ; and their cer-
tain success will be the proud reward of their loyal and
virtuous exertions. Nothing can be more wretched or con-
temptible than the attacks daily made upon this truly patriotic
and honourable Association ; nor can any thing be so sense-
less as the wilful misrepresentations of its objects in regard to
the Liberty of the Press. Their calumniators well know that
they aim no blow at that Liberty, and that their attention is
directed only to the punishment of the vile panders to infidelity,
treason, and disaffection, who are the disgrace of the Press,
and whose infamy have converted for a time that blessing into
a curse. There is no danger to the Press but such as arises from
its base and atrocious licentiousness. Its true and only liberty
will breathe with renewed vigour, and move with redoubled
energy, when relieved from this morbid excrescence, which de-
forms its beauty and paralyses its influence ; and in this glo-
rious and virtuous pursuit of united good men, there can be no
doubt, that, under Providence, the result will not fail to frus-
trate the diabolical designs against Social ()tiler, and preserve
to us those blessings which alone can render life endurable to
moral and civilized man.

The beautiful ride from Inverness to Beauly
has lately received much interest, by the erection
of a pillar on one of the romantic rocks of Cinch-
nahary, close above the road. This spot (vide
Shaw's history of Moray) was in 1454, the field
of,battle between the Clan Chattan and the Mun-
roes. The Laird of MACKINTOSH being slain,
and the tutor of FowLls wounded, a great num-
ber of their followers lost their lives, and were
buried (as the bones found testify) among the
rocks. The'column is 26 feet high, surmounted
by a leaden statue of Fame, gilt, and four feet
high, and the whole surrounded by cast-iron
railing, representing battle axes ; including the
rock, the fijure is one hundred feet above the
road.

FOR THE SUS.

JOHN BULL.

• Ma. Enrroa—The weekly Paper under the
above-mentioned -title, as well as the CONSTITU-
TIONAL AssominoN,has been the subject of the
bitterest obloquy ; bat the abuse thrown upon
both has issued in general from those whose com-
mendation would virtually be disgrace. Among
the most virulent opponents of John Bull, and of
the Society, the Old Times has been conspicuous
for its scurrility,- and on Monday last, as I find
by your Extracts from the London Journals of
that dav, for I will not disgust and outrage every
liberal 'feeling of my nature by reading the Old
Times itself, that despicable Paper has made a
formal attack upon John Bull; but, with the
usual fate of falsehood and malevolence, has fallen
into the grossest inconsistencies,. as, with your
permission, I shall endeavour to point out. The
Times commences its attack with an observation,
that it has suffered John Bull with " some pa-
tience to run his course."—lt required, indeed,
more than ordinary patience to suffer that which
it could not prevent, for .john Bull has proceeded'
with a rapidity of success unexampled in the
history of Newspapers. The Times adds, that it
understands " his labours are drawing to a con-
clusion." It may be fairly said of the Times,
that its " wzshes were the father to that thought."
But the understanding of the Times on this, as
on most occasions, is founded on falsehood, for
John Bull is still flourishing and firm. I believe
there is hardly a man in the kingdom wlm has
any regard for justice, candour, and decency,
who does not heartily wish that the Times itself.
were drawing to a conclusion. it proceeds to
say, that it forbore to notice John Bull, being
" rather anxious that the print of which we are
speaking should itself do our work."—Heaven
forbid ! for then John Bull would have been em-
ployed in such dirty work as would soon have put
an end to his useful laboUrs But now comes the
consistency of The Times—it says, " fro:n the
manner in which we understood it commenced its
career (for we did not, see it), we had little
doubt but that it woulernore effectually damn it-
self, &c." Now, Sir, what must be thought of
The Times, which, by Wits Sown confession, de,
pended on hearsay, and did not even see the Paper
which it abused ?—and from what hearsay was it
likely to- judge, admitting the improbable asser-
tion that it did not see John Bull ?—Why, from-
persons, of its 'own kidney, and, consequently,
likely to give such a report as would only flatter
its wishes, and gratify its malevolence. Again,
The Times says, " John Bull ends with as much
malignity as it began," still depending on hearsay,
if it were.possible to believe any of its assertions.
But, to the. deep mortification of The Times,
John Bull is not likely to end, till it has put some
restraint upon a seditious and profligate press.
The Times then asks," what has he done ?" Why,
Sir, it well knows that John Bull has stormed'
the very citadel of Faction; he has made the ene-
mies of order raise an outcry, and induced most
of them, and among others the Old Tinier, to
tremble for their own safety. I shall pass what it
says relative to THE QUEEN, as that is a subject
which ought if possible to be buried in oblivion,
but her MAJESTY must be pitied for being sup-
ported by a parer which ought to be the object
of universal contempt and abhorrence, as it is
characterised by all the qualities which have
been imputed to Newspapers in the most de-
graded state of the .Public Press. After
styling John Bull "an infamous print," a -desig-
nation more appropriate to itself than to any
other public journal of any description, The
Times declares itself unable to criticise it as
a work of literature, " for (it says) we have
rarely seen it though it has all along, not
indeed criticised it, but commented on it with as
impudent a freedom as if it were familiar with
the whole series of John Bull's publications. And
now, Sir, as The Times has shewn so much im-
pudence, virulence, and scurrility against John
Bull, it can hardly be expected that honest John
will sit quietly down under such malignant hos-
tility ; but as The Times has thus abused the ori-
gin and progress of John Bull, I would advise
John to investigate the origin of The Times,
under the digerent names which it has as-
sumed since .its commencement, and to trace the
progress of that conduct by which it
,has attained
a degree of success that may he considered as
a striking and lamentable proof of the degeneracy
of the public in taste as well as morality. Nor
should John Bull forget to state that one of the
Proprietors of The Times holds a lucrative place
at this moment under the very Goiernment which
his Paper every day so grossly reviles, or fail to
inquire for what services it was conferred, or for
what merits he is permitted.to retain it. I pre-
dict, 'Mr.' Editor, that if John Bull enters upon
such an investigation, he will never more be
honoured with the abuse-of the Old Times.
Bedford Coffee-house, June 28. VINDEX.

Mr. MuauAY, father of Mrs. SIDDONS (now
performing in Dublin), some time retired from
the stage, to which he had been many years an
ornament, was the son of Sir J. MURRAY, whose
name stands so conspicuous in the annals of the
rebellion of 1745, as Secretary to the Pretender.
He was educated for the medical profession,
which he quitted early in life for the stage.—
Mrs. SIDDONS has a brother, a respectable per-
former in comedy, who acts as Manager of the
Edinburgh Theatre for his sister, who is the
sole Patentee.

A shocking murder has been committed in
Lincolnshire. A Clergyman has been shot by
one of his parishioners, while in friendly conver-
sation with the assassin, and killed. We have
not yet heard the particulars ; but the murderer
was not in custody when the account was sent
off.—(Hereford Journal.)
FATAL XCCIDENT.—Mr. FRITH, a respectable
Gentleman, Who resided in Camden Town, rode
out on Sunday for the benefit of the air and re-
creation, when his horse, which was a high-
spirited animal, took fright at some thing, and
ran off with him ; Mr. FRITH was thrown against
a post, and received such injury as caused his
death on Wednesday evening.

IRELAND:

LORD CLONCURRY, AND THE BARONY OF
SOUTH SALT.

This Nobleman, who prides himself upon living in retire-
ment, in the midst of his tenantry, nevertheless appears anxi-
ous to let the world know that he can occasionally emerge from
Ills obscurity, anti instruct the community in what he conceives
to be a prover obserVence of the laws, and a due respect for the
Constituted Authorities. It has rct, however, been our good
fortune to hear much of his Lordship, or of his exertions as a
Magistrate, except where an opportunity presents itself, that he
can lay hold of any occurrence, to assure the people that they
are oppressed by their rulers—that they are labouring under a
vile system of misgovernment, and that they are ground down
by an _in supportable weight of grievous taxation, emanating
from bad men,•and worse measures! In one of these periodical
flights of his Lordship's fancy, has he thought proper to indulge
last week, and by way of reply to an Address, got up for him
by some of the inhabitants of the Barony of South Salt, he
makes some strong observations on two of the most exalted
Personages in the land,-viz. the, Lord Chancellor, and the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. With respect to his allegations against
the former high and venerated legal character, we shall quote
Lord Cloncurry's own words.Lalle says—
" If in some other parts of the County the same good order
has not always prevailed, I attribute it very.much to the want:
of Magistrates, or to the conduct of some improper persons ap-
pointed to that office, who trade on the cotnonssion and on the
miseries of their fellow, creatures—to the public money given to
these improper persons for payment of iniormers, to drink with
the fottlisb and unwary, and lead them into crime."
—Now-here, we conceive, is a direct charge against the Lord
ChanMlor, whom he accuses of appointing " improper per-
sons" to the Commission Of the Peace, who not only -neglect •
their duties, but distribute money toinformers "to drink with the
foolish and unwary, and lead them into crime." This is mischie-
vous, very mischievous language, addressed as it is to a district
now actually in a•state of disturbance. So far as respects his
charge against the Nobleman at the head of the Law Depart-
ment
in this country, it needs not our feeble advocacy to excul-
pate him from so she a calumny, for no Man ever filled' his ele-
vated ' station with More fidelity, Meekness, and talent than
Lord Mainers.—Bat my Lord Cloncurry does not end here.-L.
He goes on to say that the misfortunes of the country arc in-
creased by its mode of being governed.
" The-Lieutenancy of Ireland, which instead of a station of
high political importance, has often been a mere money-making
retreat, divested of dignity, and cootrouled by, under-secretaries,
or young inexperienced political tyros, sending much money
from the country, and driving from our beautiful city all whO
have taste enough to dislike bad company and tinsq finery—
. finally, and all in all, to the want of a resident rood reformed
Legislature."
Lord tOtoncurry here makes a sweeping charge—he actually
accuses the Lord Lleutenant of sacrificing the mterests of the
people whom he is appointed to govern, to the mercenary ma-
tiaras of accumulating wealth by the profits and salary attached
to his high office, and of thus betraying the sacred trust reposed
in him by his Sovereign !—Will any person acquainted with
the mild, the beneficent, the conciliatory manner in which Earl
'Falb& has governed the Irish nation, read this passe without
feelings of just indignation at so foul an insinuation ? The very
Meaning of the passage defeats itself, for at 'its conclusion we
have Lord Cloncurry's real sentiments, where he declares him-
self a Reformer—a Radical Reformer, perhaps, for aught we
know or care. But from this conclusion it is self-evident, that
his Lordship, in place of expressing his anxiety, and using his
best efforts to restore the peace of tis dititriet,'seizes an opportu-
nity of giving. Newspaper publicity to ids political 'Opinions., as
well as of giving the Radical Press of Dublin ail occasion of
complimenting him • on the manliness and independence of his
conduct, in nearly as fulsisme terms es they did upon his Lord-
ship's late exhibition at Kihnainham ! -His Lordship must be
w_ll aware that the peace of the country can neither he restored
or maintained by the promulgation of political opinions, and
therefore we conceive that his Address is altogether a compound
of folly, and with regard to its expediency, it is, our opi-
nion, ill-judged and ill-tirned.—(Hibernian jourrll, June 25.)
Elam LivEnroolo—lf we were allowed to express a wish
as to the selection of those who are to accompany his Majesty
on his visit to our shores, we should like to record the hallowed
name of LivErtroon !—He whose private sorrows Claim our
sympathy, and whose unerring course has sieeied hlin so closely
in the bright path of political glory, which his great friend the
immortal PITT set before him,' would, doubtless, be, welcomed
here, in a manner worthy of a generous people, to the wisest
and best, and most consistent of Statesmen-Lwhile a change of
scene might tend to heal the sorrows of a wounded heart ! To
Ireland a sincere friend at all times, Irishmen would take his
Lordship to their bosoms, and share with him those generous
effusions which are so characteristic of their country—could
then we antieipate.suoh a circumstance, how glad should we ba
to see it realised.—(lbid.)

The Revenue Commissioners appointed to visit this country,
are expected to take their departure from London, the moment
the present Session of Parliament closes, which may now be
shortly expected. We are in general well acquainted with the
Public Offices of Dublin, and we only do justice when We say;
that not only every facility will he given to these respectable
strangers, in the course of their investigation, but, that the
greatest joy and satisfaction. pervades every public department
at the circumstance. When CoMmissioners, some time ago,
came over for a like purpose, they went away satisfied that the
business was done here better than they found it at HOME !
The Customahoun Checks, in particular, they admitted. were
much more complete—and the only thing they recommended
was long before in the contemplation of the Irish Government
and his Majesty's Commissioners of Customs and Excise in
Ireland. It may be asked then, why repeat these visits again ?
Why to gratify Sir J. Newport and a peevish Opposition, who
are constantly labouring to shift upon others, that responsibility
which they only wish to enjoy themselves ! We remember
when the chief. promoter of this Commission was-himself
a Minister in Ireland, he made a useless display of Revenue
Regulations, which entailed on the country a greater burden
than we fear he will be ever able to remove from it—We
allude to the system of dividing the Customs and Excise, by
which means additional Collectors were appointed at an en-
ormous expense, and that in petty villages where the receipt of
Revenue was scarcely competent to pay the salary of the former
Collectors, &c. Yet this is the man who talks now of ma-
king retrenchments in the collection of the Irish Revenue ! but
which we admit is wanting in respect, at least to that which we
alluded to. If the newly appointed Commissioners for instance
go down to the starving. shores of Larne—of Wicklow,—of
allyraine,—and Coleraine!—of •I)onaghadee, contending in
Boverty with her opt)osite neighbour Portpatrick—Tralce,
altimore, Newport, Westport, Kilrush, Killibegs, Yough-.
all, &c. &c.: how these Gentleman will stare to find as many
Collectors in such places as we have named, as there are at
Liverpool, Bristol, or Hull,- the first trading port in Entf-
land! We remember once a case very much in point with tale
present, when the Barrack Board was attacked, and the late
Lamented Lord (Tyrawly) who presided there, male the object
of vituperation. Another Noble Lord in the secret, forgetting
what was due to his own rank, resorted to steps, by proposing
an oath fo one of the clerks, which the late Lord resisted. The
cry was up. The Barrack Department was a little Augean
stable. The PET Nobleman we allude to, was the HERCULES
appointed to' cleanse it.—But what followed after years had
been uselessly spent in the examination ? Why the most ho-
nourable acquittal of the accused, to the credit of an Establish-
ment proverbial for correctness, and a due sense of propriety in
all its departments. Let the new Commissioners then come—
we shall receive them with joy—although we hope not contami-
nated or blindfold, as some of the starving opposition would
insinuate, by our hospitality-and we are satisfied they will de-
part as gratifi
ed as the Public Departments of Ireland can de-
sire or wish.—(lbiii.)

Fta E.—Yesterday afternoon,Thetween two
and three o'clock, a fire, which created consider-
able alarm, broke out in the laundry of the house
of Mr. Justice BrsT, in Bedford-square. It
originated, as is supposed, in consequence of a
pipe which extended from the stove to the chim-
ney, starting from its proper birth, and thereby
communicating fire to: the wainscot, which ap-
pears to have been burning fur some time before
it was discovered, as. the alarm was first raised in
consequence of the flames being seen ascending
through the roof. Messengers were dispatched
in all directions for engines, and several were
soon in attendance.—TlTe fire, before it could
be got under, although a plentiful supply of
water offered, caught one of the stables adjoining,
the roof of which, together with that of the
laundry, were burnt. The flames were furtu-
'lately prevented from extending to any of the
dwelling houses. _ _ _

Suicinr.—Yesterday morning a lady of the
name of BOND, who resided in Little Mary-le-
bone-street, was found suspended from the
tester of her bed. She was cut down immedi-
ately, and surgical assistance procured, but she
was quite dead.

de,rable length, and concluded by moving a resolution fox the

the Guildhall, and also the instructions of the last Court .to the
Committee of City Lands to oroceed with the original motion.
A long discussion ensued, in thecomseof which the conduct
of Alderman Bridges was justified, he having. done nothing
more than taken the best precautions in his judo-inent to prevent
a breach of the peace. On the shew of hands' being taken, a
very great rnajority appeared in favour of rescinding the Monort;
a division W 33 demanded, and the numbers were as-follow

LAW INTELLIGENCE,

COURT OF CHANCERY, JtNE 23.

JUDO MEN T.
IN THE MATTER OF !TOWARD AjiD °inns, EAMERPVT3-
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" This is the petition of the as-
signees of the bankrupts, praying that the commission may be
superseded, on the ground that there is no petitioning ciedi-
tor's debt. The Petition not only casts reflection on the pe-
titioniu creditor's debt, but on his character. I hold that
a petitioning creditor is obliged to give every satisfactioU
to the assignees. respecting his debt. It is sail on the pan
of Mr. Campbell, the
.petitioning creditor, that he is ready
to go before the Commissioners ,and give "every explanation :
one part of his debt is a bill of exchange, which is said to
be tainted with usury, but if he is the bona tide holder
of the bill, without notice of the usury, under the, late Act
of Parliament, its being so tainted will not debar his
claim ; but if he is only the holder of the bill for another per-
son who was privy to the usury, it would annul his claim. Lct
an application be made to Mr. Campbell to go before the Com-
missioners, and to be examined as to the validity of IA &du!,
and if he refuses, then come here and I will give an order for ii:-
quiry. As to the queStion of the assignees being able to se;
aside a commission of bankruptcy, it is certainly a difficult
matter if they are guilty of negligence, but if they have used
due diligence, a,r_dhay..ra proper ground, I do not see why the!
should not be relieved, altheugh they are Officers of the C0..2r,:.
The petitioning creditor stands in a very different situation
all other creditors to the .assignees ; he is bound to give them
every information, and for every purpose of the com-41iesien)
as the agent of the assignees."

GORDON Y. GORDON.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, alluding to this case, witicklal
already correctly appeared before our readers., said he had tirscs:l
up the minutes as far as related to the accounts, and should ,
hand them down to the Registrar. He would not, however, ,
finally pronounce his Decree until he had disposed of the qt;llt
tion relative to the filing the affidavit of which so much had bent
said, but in, delivering out the minutes of the Order he had draw"'
up, relative to the accounts, he would be giving the party 57'
opportunity of being heard, should they, on seeing them, 113"
any objection to make ; and in the event of that not being tR
case, he would dispose cf the whole on Tuesday next.
