BROWN V. WALLER.

Mr. Serjeant PECKWELL moved for a Rule to sheer
cause why a new trial of this action should not 1;:?
granted, the Plaintiff having been non-suited ill ti,._
former trial. The Plaintiff had laid a wager ot-
guineas, whether a Mr. Gutridge had forkite,l 1..,
word with Mr. Whitbread, in not abiding by 1
.;
decision as an arbitrator, in a matter in diffetent..ll,..
tween Mr. Gutridge and another person • a ,feci,i(
by which, whether for or against him, Nit% Gut:it.;,...
had promised to abide : and the Defendant, who t. 7;
the stake-holder, had decided the wager against ti A
Plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Pr.mwEu, now contended,
that Mr. Gutridge had not forfeited his word in re-
fusing to abide by the award, inasmuch as the award
had nothing to do with the matters in difference, and
awarded Mr. Gutridge to make concessions of other
property than that in dispute.
Lord ELLENBOROUCII said, the question was--Was
the wager won or not ? If Mr. Gutridge did not
abide by an award by which he had promised to abide,
the wager was won.
Mr. Serjeant PECKWELL..-gs Suppose the wager out
of the question : could Mr. Gutridge be said to have
broken his word, in not abiding by an aly.ti.d which
had nothing to do with the matters in diff,..t.eacz

Lord EaENBOItOUGH-" Yes ; and it might be
very proper that Mr. Gutridge should break his worth
it may be a breach of the word in terminus, but a bet.
ter performance of it virtually.
The COURT, however, expressed its willingness to
see the Report of the Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD,
before whom the cause was tried.—Rule granted.

The Deputies from the Tyrol paid a visit yesterday
to the Bank and the India House. They were received
with the greatest politeness by the chairman and Di,
rectors of :hose two great Companies. When they
entered the Rotunda and Transfer Offices of the Bank,
the national interest in the fate of the brave people they
represent manifested itself by repeated acclamatinai
and cheerings. Proper persons were appointed at both
places to spew them the interior of the respective
buildings, and they returned much gratified by tila
honours .and attentions they received.

Slacker of Character.—The fashionable world will
readily recognise some of its distinguished leaders in
this very popular novel, which, by a lively and cha-
racteristic exhibition of modern manners well sup-
ports its title of 44 SPECIMENS OF REAL Lier"—The
tollowing high character of this Work in the Critical
Review sufficiently stamps its merit.—" The Novel,
on the whole, is a very rizirited and natural perform,
mice ;Ahe dialogues and conversations are given with
muck freedom and elegance, and the characters in
general excessively well designed and executed,—
Amongst a number of curious and entertaining scenes,
we have a good description of a Table d'Hote, which
we will extract, &c." Among the various characters
described, we have a Colonel's Lady, who is soldier
mad ; a Lady A. eminent for elegance of manners,
and refined dissimulation • Fashionable Bond-street
Loungers, and Quizzing Men of Quality."

bly adhered? At all events it was I point with which'
that Meeting had no connection, unless they presum-
ed to interfere in a manner which neither moral or
religious principle sanctioned.
Mr. Boy LE expressed a desire to hear the teasons
upon which the Learned Gentleman grounded the
assertion, that the Catholic Laity could not interfere
with their opinion upon the appointment of the Ca-
tholic Prelacy.
When the Amendment was about to be put—
Mr. POW ER rose and expressed his hopes, that in
his native city, though after an absence of some years,
he might be pardoned for intruding a very few ob-
servations. He did not see the necessity which ex-
isted for introducing a polemical discussion, to prove
that the Catholic Laity had no power to infringe upon
the rights of their Hierarchy. There were, without
such a reference, motives sufficient to sway every man
who felt for the character and honour of th4t great
Body, not to yield such a right even to the venerable
discretion of the Executive /Vlagistrate. Amidst the
disabilities under which they had laboured—under
all the odium to which the Catholic Body were sub-
jected for centuries, of persecution, it was still a con-
solation to feel, that they were blessed with inde-
perident Clergymen. (Hear, hear !) Surrender this
right to the Crown, and what power will a base Mi-
nistry avail themselves of. In place of a respected
popular Prelacy, responsible to public opinion, and
alive to popular feeling, you will have an intriguing
servile Clergy, the tool of every hireling of office, and
more anxious for his countenance than for the accor-
ding sentiment of his flock. (Hear ! hear !) In be-
half of the Catholic and of the Protestant part of the
community, he would protest against the innovation,
as equally dangerous to the liberties of both. Was
this the time to degrade the claim of truth and justice,
the demand of loyalty and valour, by an unnecessary
bribe? The great question stood upon its own merits,
it was sanctioned by the ablesta nd honestest States-
men in Europe ; and therefore, he trusted, that in
1 offering their just prayer before the august delibera-
tive assembly, they would not overcharge it either
1 with slavish concession, or braggart menace. They
had to recollect the political martyrdom which they
Ihad already suffered for the religion of their fathers,
and as long as they revered that recollection, they
would pronounce their veto upon the proposed amend-
! meat.

CORK, NOVEMBER I.
Pursuant to public advertisement, a. most respect:.
able Meeting of the Roman Catholics of this City
:tad County was convened at the Bush Tavern, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety
vf petitioning I'atliament early in the next Session,
for a release from the penal disabilities under which
;Lev now sifTer.
On the motion of GEORGE GOoLD, Esq. Joust GAL•
/1, ‘y, Esq. of Lota, was called to the Chair.
Counsellor JUSTIN M'CARTHY then addressed the
Meeting :—As one of the Committee, he stated that it
iiiid fallen to his duty to propose certain Resolutions,
upon the propriety of which the Committee to whose
care the Catholics of that great city and county had
colitickal their interest, had unanimously agreed, it was
11::•11 unnecessary to develope the reasons and motives
which led to such a conclusion. It was, perhaps, of
tliu greatest importance to the ultimate success of their
r.l:tce, that the principles which recommended it were
: , fully understood, and so wisely appreciated—still it
,1:•.;lit be proper to preface the Resolutions with some
~:neral observations. The disabilities under which they
I.:houred had not one effect more poignant to the feel-
igs of the Catholic Body than that they held them
tip to the public view, as well as to their own consi-
L!-:ation, as a degraded cast. They felt that any man
I f tileir body, hosiever transcendent hi: merits, ele-
•:!icd his rank, or distinguished his virtues, in moving
t sre'rgh his proper sphere in society, could place his
ion,' upon his heart, and in the language of conscious
iqicpeadence say that he was in ins native land the
equal of his Protestant fellow-subject, even with leSs
ciaims to superiority. In such a state of things, it was
impotsible for men to be divested of those excitements
nbicli prompt the human mind to take the means of
extricating itself from undeserved inferiority.—lt was
impossible that those impulses should not operate with
T. 4 Catholics, which were so strongly implanted by the
hrnd of Nature in the human heart. In compliance
irith that impulse, he felt that it was the duty of the
Celio!ics of that great City and County to seek for the
covcry of their Constitutional rights by legitimate
nrin.3. At all times the right and the policy of con-
ceding them were felt and admitted by the wise and the
patriotic, hut the peculiar_circumstances of the present
e,,,y rendered the propriety of the discussion much
rare perspicuous. It was surely a public duty to knit
in an indissoluble bond the hearts and affections of

,:lands, the map of Europe was extinct, and when,
Elf a single nation was left upon its extensive Conti-
nent that would dare to breathe the accents of inde-
pendence.—(Hear ! hear ! hear!)—The Learned and CORK, NOVEMBER 1.
