COURT OF RING'S BENCII-TIIIS DAY.

POSTER V. SIR G. PAGE TURNER.
Mr. BROUGHAM moved their Lordships to have the
,erdict set aside in this cast, And a new trial granted;
and also why the attorney for the plaintiff should not
pay the costs of his present application? The case was
tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the late sittings-
in Guildhall, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, in
consequence of its coming before the Court undefended.
The Learned Counsel said he was retained for the de.
fendant, and Mr. Scarlett appeared on the other side;
he (Mr. Brougham) had waited the greater part of that
day, in expectation of its coming on; but his Lnrdship
being engaged in another cause, that occupied a very
considerable time, he understond that no more defended
cases would be taken that day, when he, with Mr.
Scarlett, left the Court; after which it appeared that
the plaintiff's Attorney consulted with the Junior
Counsel engaged, and brought forward the case as an
undefended one, when a verdict was returned against
his client. Upon these grounds, the Learned Counsel
trusted their Lordships would set aside that verdict.
LORD CUM JUSTICE— Tate a rule to shew cause.

The Right Rev. D. FERENC,' hes been appointed to
the IliQlopric of Kilmacduagh, and Kilfenora, rendered vacant by
the death of the late Right Rev. Doctor Archdeacon. It is a
curious fact, wotthy the attention of those who may not.he already'
aware tif it, that Dr. Primness has been educated in the principles
of au Established Church, and was in early youth a Protestant.

TUX PASCO PERUVIAN MINING most
unwarrantable (though, perhaps unintentional attach) having been
made oil this Company, in one of the Morning Papers of yesterday,
the Public are iaformed. that it is intended to publish in the prin-
cipal Papers of To-Kowtow, a statement respecting the nature. ex-
tent, and value of the Pasco Mines, which will be malcient to
satisfy the moat sceptical, that in what has hem already *awl in
the Prospectus. the importance of those Mines was rather di.
=Walled than exaggerated.
The operative cotton-weavers of Carlisle have issued
an appeal ill ntanulacturers of Cumberland, on their

reports, it is bulky. It occupies nearly 1,000 folio pages,
and regards several hunched charities in the counties of
Devon, Essex, Lancaster, Svmerset, Stafford, Surrey,
Yoi k, &c.

KILAN gave Mrs. Cox the name of "Little Breeches,"
by reason of his having presented her with a sailor's
uniform, in which she often arrayed herself when she
accompanied her paramour in an amorous excursion
It was at one time contemplated to produce the breeches
on the trial.

The Reverend Magistrate, whose extraordinary im-
prisonment of his maid-servant occasioned so strong a
sensation, has, we hear, not only abandoned the charge
of robbery which he made against her, but has Made.
her a remuneration for the sufferings she sustained by
her illegal detention.
A Priest of one of the parishes of the French metro-
polis is said te have refused to admit a Protestant
Peer to sign the act of the religious solemnization
of the marriage of his niece. A general order
is said to have been issued from the highest authority,
making this restriction general ; and it is expected that a
similar order will be issued, excluding Protestants from
being god-fathers to the children of their Catholic
friends. The ecclesiastical registers of maniacs and
baptisms being at present of no legal validity in ratter
such acts of intolerance are of no further important*
than as they evince the bigotry from which they pro.
ceed ; but, once transfer to the Clergy (as has been pro.
posed) the custody of those records which are at pre-
sent kept by the Civil Officers of Government, and the
consequences of excluding Protestants from witnessing
such necessary solemnities may be the lou of important
civil rights.
The Etas gives several letters from Naples of thi
6th and 7th instant. They furnish fresh details of the
death of the Kura, and the preparations making for thU
Royal funeral. He has left an Olograph Testament
slated February 6, 1822, which, together with a codicil
added last year, was read in the Council of State, but
its contents had not transpired. The present MOSAICo
and his family had retired to the palace of Capo
Monte, where he meant to remain till after his father's
obsequies had taken place, on the 14th instant. It was
then his intention to bold a Court,. and to enter at
once into the splendours as well as into the exercise
of Royalty. Oa opening the body of the deceased

DREADFUL FIRE IN DUBLIN.

DUBLIN. JAN. 94.

Abort half-past twelve o'clock to-day, a dreadful
fire broke out in the house of Mr. George Bristowe,
hat-manufacturer, No. 1, Upper Ssckville.street, at the
corner of Noah Earl-street, occasioned. as it is said,
by a pot of varnish boiling over. This fire was the
most destructive for the time, we have ever witnessed ;
for in about half an hour the Boot gave way, and had
communicated to the adjoining house on the one side
in Sackville-street, occupied by Messrs. Whitehead and
Jones, lace-manufacturers, and on the other side, in
Earl-street, by a Mr. Clarke, we believe —St. !Mary's
Parish engine was the first on the spot, and soon fol-
lowed those of the several Insurance Companies which
were well supplied with water by the carts of the Paving
Board, and from the Post-offsce. At a quarter after one,
the Earl-street side of Mr. B.'s house fell with a Ire-
Meadow crash, the greater part into the street. We
have heard that several persons were much hurt. and
some of the engines damaged; but in consequence of the,
hurry and confusion at the time, we could not aster-'
rain. Notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the fire-
men, the flames communicated to the house of Mr.
Byrne, a glover, No. 3, Sackville-street, where it was,
however, in a short time got under. The Sackville-street
side of idr. Bristowe's house is in a very tottering. con-
dition and momentarily expected to fall—detachments
of the 88th foot, 4th dragoons, and 2d foot guards,
with the Horse Police, were promptly in attendance,,
and served materially to keep that order and regularity
so necessary on such alarming occasions. As we are
going to press the en ghat- are playing on the burning
ruins. Four o'eloek—Mr.Bristowe's house has just fallen
inwards, which has, in a degree, smothered the ruins.

Letters from Mexico, dated November l'/, by way
of New York, state that Mt. Moataa had arrived at the
capital. The new Government was proceeding with
great wisdom and moderation, and the country was in
a state of tranquillity.
Some of the French Ministerial Papers say that all
the European Cabinets are now thinking setiously of
" terminating the affairs of Greece," and that overtures
have been made jointly to that effect by the Gient
Powers "It is demanded of the Poste," according to
those Journals, " that she should recognise the inde-
pendence of the Morea, and of a poi don of the islands
of the Archipelago." The Gaaisn SCIOIIIOII. it is added,
" ought to give his full assent to a measure so fraught
with good policy, which would put an end to the cala-
mities which ravage those countries, and would leave
no chance of success to the ambition of some Cabinets.
May this intelligence prove true tb its full extent, for the'
sake of religion and humanity r
It is stated in a letter from New York, dated Deem-
ber Si, that the fabricated letter from Panama, which
appeared in the Boston Sentinel, obtained the less ere.
dig there, as that Paper, about IS months before, had
been the medium of a similar delusion,and was therefore
regarded with much suspicion on the present occasion.
A strange story is related in one of the French Papers.
It is said that four merchants from Colombia, having
arrived in England and made their purchases of English
,machinery, wished to proceed to France to buy silks and
other commodities of that country, to the amount of
about £lOO,OOO. These persons naturally applied to
the French Ambassador in London for passports, but
were told, that being subjects of his Catholic Majesty,
they must first get permission from the Spanish Lega-
tion. These independent Republicans, who would as
soon have thought of applying to the Pore's Nuncio,
because three centuries ago boo of the Pose's predeces-
sors pretended to have the dispoial of the new world,
kept of course on this side of the Channel, and com-
manded their goods from a utfferent mai ket. •
It has generally been the custom of the Sherriff of
