DUBLIN, lAN. 23.

His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT, accom-
panied by his amiable contort, vifited the theatre
on Thurfday evening: the acclamations bellowed
on them teemed to prove highly grateful to their
feelings ; and the undlminifhed refpcti which the
audience ever evince for the illuarious Perfonages
mull ftrongly conduce to their frequent appear-
ance at the theatre. His Excellency was dreffed
in the regimentals of the Cambridge militia, of
which he is Colonel. The Cxintefs of HA anvil cue
flill the friend and patron of the Irifh mann-
fatturer, wore a gown of blue cabinet ; her head-
drefs was fnpremely brilliant, bearing a profufion
of diamonds, ar,d encompaffed by blue and brown
feathers ; her necklace and car-rings were beauti-
fully ornamental, in luflre exceeding any we have
witneffed for a long period. Her Ladyfhip alto
wore a fwanfdown muff and tippet, which are be-
coming the rage in the higher circles. An im.
menfe number of Ladies of beauty, youth, and
fafhion, graced the boxes, of whom the lovely
Mifs D'OYLEYS were eminently confpicuous.
The Entertainments, which were The Cal4l
Spare, 4.0 The Wicklow Gold Miner, sere repre-
fented with great corrednefs. We were tarry,
however, to witnefs the departure of Lady
Haanwicaa from the Theatre towards the con-
clufion of the 4th Ad of the fira piece, as we
were informed it proceeded from indifpofition.—
The Viceroy, his children, and their fuite, quitted
the Theatre amida the louden profeffions of elteem.
In almoll every quarter the late norm had been
felt to a ferious degree.
There is fcarcely an houfe in the, city which has
not fuffered more or lets by injuries to the roof,
walls, or chimnies.

Happily this dearalion was not attended by the
lots of any lives that we have heard of.
A young gentleman, fon of Jo HPI DwYER, Efq.
of Merrion-(Greet, had a moll providential deliver-
ance ; the whole (tack of chimnies fell in upon the
bed in which he lay, but he was proteaed by the
rafters of the roof which lay acrofs him, and after
being buried for nearly two hours under the rub-
bith, he was dug out, with a few flight bruifes.
Another flack of chimnies in Merrion-greet fell
through the whole houfel and overwhelmed a ter.
vant fleeping in the kitchen, who was extricated
without farther injury than a bruifed arm.
A gentleman who was fuddenly awaked by the
form, ran from his bed to the window to look out,
at the infant a whole pile of chimnies fell upon the
bed he had la left, and crufbed it into the fore;
beneath. •

We }cave heard of many fimilar prefervations,
in which the hand of PROVIDENCE feems to have
vifihly interfered.
Tile house Of THOMAS WAutre, Efq. at Ste-
phen':•erecn, fuffered contiderable damage, by the
whole (tack of chimnies having fallen in.
On Thurfday morning the Itreets were brewed
with (tones, Elates, tiles, and broken laths, the frag.
ments of ruined roofs and walls ; feveral trees were
torn up by the roots ; and we fear much damage
has been fuffered by the thippieg in the Channel.
In the Bay of Dublin four Blips were run aground,
but got off yeticrday without damage. The point
from which the Dorm came was favourable to our
coaft, but mutt have been very deffruaive upon
the Wehh (bore.

A parapet wall in Merrion•fquare prefents a (*m-
yth: appearaaee ;it blown back upon the roof
of an houfe, where le lies unbroken and regular as
if it had been placedfo by art.
The ravages of the llorm were not confined to
the city; the environs Coffered equally, and we
hear nutny trees were torn up on the toad leading
to Drozheda.

" After quitting the Cape, we fuffered a great
deal of delay, by calms and unfavourable winds,
and were at lift obliged, on account of the fick-1
nefs aboard, and other circumfiances, to come in
here, where we have been about a week. We are
in the fame bay where the Winterton people were
in 1792 ; and the India Company having, in return
for the civilities (hewn by the Kiva ofBAaAN to
the Englifh on that occafion, made him confidera-
ble prefent. ; we have been treated by the natives
with great hofpitality. We have laid in a Rock of
frefh provifions, have landed- and refreffied our
lick, and are bow ready to pat to lea in profecu-
tion of our voyage for Ceylon. A Bengal fhip
with rice, for England, was driven in here in dif-
trefs, and I take the opportunity of writing you.
44 The natives have been very civil. The
brought us all kinds oflive flock, fruits, &c. which
we paid for in magnets, piftols, old iron, knives,
buttons, handkerchiefs, and other things. They
do not Teem to know the value of money. Oae of
the Officers pitched his marquee on shore ; it was
extremely difficult for us to prevent pilfering.—
They are very expert in thieving. The tea-kettle
was taken off the fire when the fervants were pre-
fent, and the bed covers and pillows were flolen
from a fervant's bed while he was afleep in it; but
they ate rather troublefome than dangerous. Molt
of them affume magnificent names. Befides King
George, we have the Prince of Wales, the Duke
a York, Prince William, Auguftus, the Duke of
Marlborough, and a great many others. Thefe
grandees do not barter themfelves, but their peo-
ple bring us prefcnts, while theyArd to fee that
adequate prefcnts are made in" iota women
are by no means difagreeable, and by no means
fly. The grandees even will fell, or rather prefs
you to take their wives and daughters; the women
teem to -have no influence in their fociety. The
men are athletic and well made, of a bright co-
lour, and have acquired enough of broken French
and Englifh to make themfaves underftood. I
wills you had a better defcription of this large and
curious ifland than any that has been yet made
public.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 27.

Mr. Serjeant BAILS? moved for a Rule to (hew
caufe why a new trial (hould not be inflituted in
the cafe of WAliarns v. Browne, in which a ver-
diet had been obtained for the Plaintiff, in the
courfe of the Taft fittings after Term at Guildhall.
The circumftances wee there : the plaintiff, who
was a black failor, was employed on 'board the
(hip of the defendant, which flip happening to
touch at the ifland of Grenada, the plaintiff was
recognized and feized as a runaway (lave. The
defendant interfered, and paid a certain fum for
his redemption, and on the day after the plain-
tiff's releafe, he entered into an indenture to terve
the defendant in any capacity for three years, for
a certain (Upend. Notwithilanding this inden-
ture, the plaintiff brought his action for wages,
but the defendant put in as a fet-off againft the
demand, the receipt of the plaintiff for the money
advanced for the purpofe already defcribed in
Grenada with the indenture. This indenture,
however, being confidered illegal, the Tury found
for the plaintiff. To fet afide this verchet was the
object of the motion.—Rule granted.

SAYLER V. SIR THOMAS DUNLOP WALLACE.

Mr. Serjeant Comm. applied for a Rule to (hew
cattle why a new trial fhould not be inflituted in
this cafe. It related to the fale of a Commiffion
in the Wallace Fencibles. The plaintiff who was
Senior Captain in that Corps, was appointed to
the Majority by the defendant, who was the Co-
lonel Commandant, in conafilleration of 4001. paid
him by the plaintiff's father, to whom the defen-
dant obfetved at the time, that the regiment was
to r to India, and would be permanent. The
plaintiff's father remarking, that otherwife the
commiffion would be worth nothing. The regi-
ment being loon after difbanded, the plaintiff
brought his aetion for the recovery of the 4.001. and
the jury gave him a verdift, on the ground that
the money was advanced in confequence of the
mifreprefentation of the defendant, and that he
had .not, according to his letter of licence for
railing the regiment, any authority to difpofe of
this commiffion. The Rule however was granted
on there confiderations, that the principal evi-
dence on the trial was the plaintiff's father Lthat
the purchafe money was extremely inadequate to
the value of a Majority, and that the plaintiff re-
ceived, for Tome months, the pay of a Major.
CARPENTER, ASSIGNEE OF FOWLER, V. MARA ELL.

Mr. Serjeant Barr moved for a Rule to thew
wife why a new trial fhould not be had in this
cafe. From the Ratement of the evidence, it ap.
peared that Fowler, previous to his bankruptcy,
had affigned a certain note of the defendant's to a
perfon of the name of Baxter, part of which had
been paid—to recover what remained due an a&ion
had been brought in the name of the Affignee,
and a verdift found in favour of the plaintiff for
7,1. The Learned Counfel argued, that this vcr-
di& fhoald be fet afide, becaufe the anion was
not brought by the proper perfon, for in point
of law the note having been transferred previous
to Fowler's bankruptcy, the Allignee had nothing
to do with it—his only concern being with fuck
property as migbt be divided among the different
creditors • in corroboration of this Ratement he
quoted the cafe of" Wynch v. Keely," 6th Term
Reports.—Rule granted.

DiFTLILS V. PARRY.
This was an aftion upon a Policy of Infurance
on Madder, on board a Ihip bound from Rotter-
dam to London, which had been captured by a
French privateer. A verdift had been found for
the Plaintiff—To fet afide this verdift Mr. Serjeant
Laws applied on behalf of the Defendant—he con.
tended that as this madder was on board a fhip
configned to Meffrs. Bridge and Smith, who had
his Majeßy's licence to trade between Holland and
this country only by themfelves or their agents,
the Plaintiff's traffic was not legal, and therefore
he was not entitled to a verdift.

Lord ALVAN LE Y obferved, that there letters of
licence to particular Merchants, were evidently in-
tended to enable them to make the moll of them,
to trade for themfelvcs, or to trade as the agents
of others ; therefore the dillinEtions taken by the
Learned COunfel, upon this quellion, and of which
the Underwriter teemed inclined to avail Itimfelf,
could not ftand.—Rule refufed.

ESISSANOti b. HARRISON.
Mr. Serjeant Beer applied on behalf of the De-
fendant for a Rule to thew caufe why there fhould
not be a nonfuit or a new trial in this caufe. He
Rated, that it appeared in evidence.that the Plain.
tiff, who was an Algerine Jew, had a demand of
40001. on the Government: he entered into a con-,
tract with the Defendant to give him ten per cent.
on all he could recover for him. The Defendant
accordingly obtained a warrant for the payment
of 12001. to the Plaintiff; which Plaintiff did not
think proper to relent at the Treafury, conceiv-
ing it below his Jul} claim. Some time, however,
before the warrant was obtained, Plaintiff gave
the Defendant tool. to forward his application to
the Treafury, to recover which the anion was
brought • and Defendant put in, as a let off, the
contra before alluded to, and his fervice in con-
fequence thereof but there the Jury, under the
direaion of the Learned Judge, overlooked, as il-
legal, and allowed the Defendant five per cent. on
the wool. recovered, and awarded the Plaintiff
the difference between that and the tool. he ad-
vanced. The Learned Counfel contended, that
the agreement was legal, and the condua of the
Defendant was junifiable as that-of Navy or Army
Agents, and therefore hoped the Court would ac-
cede to his motion.

Lord ALVANLAT was of opinion, that there was
no analogy between the cafe of the Defendant and
that of Army and Navy Agents, as the fums to be
received by the latter were fixed, and the allow
ance for their trouble afcertained ; whereas the
Defendant might, with as much juftice, aft 5o
per cent. as to. His Lordihip added, that he
trufted the laws of England would ever be found
to protect Foreigners from unjust extortions of this
kind. .

Mr. Juftice Rook faid, that as it appeared on
the eaamioatioa of the evidence, that the Loa ad-

La iia by the Plailtiff, Was in confertt2ence of a
letter from the Defendant, that filch a fum was
neeeflary to bribe fome fubordinate Clerks LI the
Treafury, it was money had for an illegal pr.
pole, and therefore the Defendant was in flia en-
titled to nothing at all for his fervices to the Plain-
tiff in this bufinefs. He fhould be of course rather
difpofea to grant a new trial on the application of
the Plaintiff's Counfel, in order to oblige the De-
fendant to refund the whole fum of tool. without
any deduEtiolis.
Mr. Serjeant SH EP HARD, on the part of the Plan-
tiff, declined the invitation of the Beach.
Mr. Barr's application was refuted.
