The question to this appeal was, whether the appel-
lant was liable for the payment of a bill drawn by the
respondent. as the agent of a Gentleman of the name
of Gordon? It appeared that Mr. Gordon, having
amassed considerable property in the West Indies, to
turned to his native country (Scotland), and purchased
an estate called Draikies, near Inverness. Wishing to
have, a resideace here, be command a course of
very eatessive Improvement. In the year 1808, he
entered into arrangement with Campbell, Fraser,
and Co. merchants of considerable eminence in Glon
tow. to make large pecuniary advances, upon the
condition of. their receiving the consigoments of his
foreign produce. It became necessary at the end of
that year for Mr. Gordon to revisit his estates in the West
Indies. prior to which be granted i power of attorney
to the respondent for the assuagement of his Scotch
affairs. The power of attorney also enabled him to dis-
charge all debts. sad if be should judge it to be for Mr.
Gordon'. interest, to borrow any stun of money to the
nista of 5,000 f. Campbell, Fraser, and Co. was the
mercantile house. with which Mr. Gordon generally
dials; it eras arranged that the•respoodent was to draw
all his bill: upon that house, which they agreed to ho.
neer. Under this arrangement several bills were drawn
and duly honoured. Towards the close of 1809, Mr.
Gordon required further advances from Campbell,
Fraser, and Co. A letter -was therefore written by
the respondent to them. stating such to be the case....
Toe appellaot answered• by stating that the drafts on
pin:bell, Fraser, and Cop woultimen honour to •the
„mint ittentleucl. In raoquece of this permission the
respondent elide appbkidion.to Mr.*J. Esser. who was
their agent fot the Bank Of Scotland it Inverness, to die-
cOunt the bill, which was.for 1001. which be ultimately
agreed to do. • A copy of the bill was itiatiediately for.
traded to Campbell, Fraser, and Co. who made no °by
jection to it. Before, however, Meats. Campbell and Co.
accepted the hill, information was received of the death
of Mr. Gordon, is she West Indies. and ultimately
Messrs. Campbell and Co. refused to accept the bill, Al.
',ging that there was a considerable balance due from Mr.
Gordon to their basso, la consequence of this an action,
at die instance of the agent, was baleen to enforce
payment of bill from Campbell, Fraser and Co.—
Against the actions keen defence was kept up, before

you will insist oa knowing something about it. You
will recollect that Paul was shipwrecked upon an
island called Melita, which, in the modern Tereus

tar, signifies Malts, and here is the very cave in
which he took refuge, and where the barbarians
built a fire, and you may see the very sett- upon
which he 'rested—that is, if you believe the Priests,'
and (for what I knew) they may have the very viper
that bit him, preserved in a bottle of spirits, for
they thew you so unsay wondrous things; that you
cannot doubt. Why, they have here in their churches
not only bones of the saints, the exhibition of which will
yet patents miracles, but several hundred weight of it e

thorns; bat don't laugh, sinner, as they would call you,

preventing the extraordinary reductions of the prices of
weaving mum and silk goods.
By half past four o'clock the house was needy filled.
and Mr. William Colquhoun was called to preside. The
Chairman, after reading the advertisement for calling
the meeting, hoped that in discussing the subject+ which

Goodson% whe, it was but justice to mention, had al-
ways taken a deep interest in the "effete hf the labouring
classes. He had stated, that if they obtained the support of
the weavers in Benfrewshire. be would take an early op-
portunity of representing their distresmd coodition to a
meeting of else county Gentlemen. Mr. M•Dougais
from Pollockshaws, read! memorial iddresssed to the -
Noblemen and Gentlemen in Radnorshire, which stated
the grievances under whets the operative weavers la.
bound from the unprecedented reduction of wages. and
concluded by praykig the County Gentlemen to use
their influence to rootage a Legislative enactment to
establish a Board of Trade in every mansfactorine
Diet, to 61 the lowest pica that can be paid--the prices
to vary according to circumstances.
Mr. Came, Glasgow—. Sir. I can assure you, that it
is with considerable diffidence that 1 rise to address
such ea ingenious and intelligent body as the Paisley
weavers. Necessity, however, made it imperious on
him to do so, being deputed by their brethren in Glas-
gow and the adjacent towns, mooching to 2.5:600.
He might likewise elate, that the proposed plan bad
the concurrence of all the west country lo4as.
Deputations having been sent to them, it likewise
bad the concurrence of a most respectable part of the
Glasgow manufactuiers. who coasidtred the want of
some regulation having a tendency to stop the redo°.
does which bad brought the trade so slow. 1111

menufacturers, stating their determination not to
‘take

mitigating those who could not do sou shut their aims

Mr. PaaltllLL begged leave to ask if there was any
goospect of the plan being adopted—tbe superstructure
was gohd.; bet the great difficulty lay in procuring the
sanction of the legislature. He remembered, that when
the manufacturers here were waited upon for a regale.

Mr. FINDLAY—There are three Names assigned for
the present distress, over-production, over-popelation,
sad there were those who thought it arse from. a 6cti.

capital was as necessary as hands is manufacturing. Its
kited that all these causes bad operated is bringing
them to their Fresont state. The country bad been to•
sedated with paper money; and In withdrawing their

to do. the circulating meisdieda was greatly redeat4 and
distress would follow as a astorateessogesaes.
Mr. Lono.--It appears to no tbat the two last

as much as another. He could state for himself, that
'be had received to. day the viarp, from • the warehouse,

than. some manufacturers were paying. How could
this be accounted for on fair prinCiples?
. Mr.M.Douoas,.Pollockshaws, could not convider it a

not pledge its being Ottk'd into•dect by s Bill in Pit.'
Bement. Our case bid changed Materially. The Gen-
tlemen in Lanark, Renfrew, and AYr Ores, were now
convinced that our case was truly despleratei"and it was
not to be doubted but they would eseh Alewives in
our favour. They bad the strongest jadecetitent for
doing so, for it could not be.iupposed that eberwould
feel pleasure in being called ion so often topubscribe for
the distressed operatives. Besides, property was be-
coming of little or no value, and would continue so
until their wages were advanced.
Mr. AV MS said, that though he was not engaged-at
weaving. it was not long since he had left the ye*. He
had known several attempts something similar to the
present, but they bad all failed. He did not think that
a legislative enactment could be procured. It would
have the effect, in• dull times, of throwing the trade into
the hands of the small manufacturers.

• Mr. °swarm thought one of the principal objects of
the Memorial was to present persons having no capitsl
froin making goods, and selling them at any price they
would bring. He thought that the subject was at least
worthy of a trial, and it was surely only an act of jus-
tice to endeavour to go band in hand with our distressed
brethren in Glaspw and its neighbourhood.
Mr. Annan repeated his former objections. It they
would petition for a reducti,n of taxation, or for cheap
corn, it might do some good.
Mr. YOVNG did not-concur with those who thought
the present low prices, the effects of competition in the
foreign market ; it was the competition among the'
manufacturers here, that produced such a great dews.
sion in the trade.

The • original motion, that the Memorial be adopted,
. was them agreed to, and • Committee appointed to
carry the same into effect. A motion for a Petition to
Parliament for .the reduction of the duty on the impor-
tation of foreign awn was rejected, as not being in

THE KINCMIRTH-DAT.

His Majesty's birthday was celebrated here • on
Thursday with greater eclat than for some years past.
The bells at later vale rang a merry peal. and early in
the forenoon we had rather a splendid .procession o
mail coaches."fhe horses' beads were decorated with
ribbons and flowers ; some scores of children got a
ride for nothing, ohd appeared highly delighted as they
lookid out at the windows; men, women, and mu.i-
clans, were seated no the top; and the different guards
stationed behind.'were ai 'nowt and gay as a dandy from
Bond-wee, in the laced hat and other articles of livery
which the King presents them with once a year. Between
tour sod five o'clock sipwirds of seventy Gentlemen sat
dawn to dinner in the' ing% Arms Inn—Provost M'Kie
in the Chair, supported by Francis Shout, E q. as
Croupier. The entestainment was excellent, and the
liquids good.; and al it is seldom we have so large a
dinner party, our •eivic rulers must have been highly
gratified on seeing thensselves sottounded on such an
occasion by nearly four score of their townsmen. The
usu.l loyal, constitutional. and local toasts were given
from the Chair; politics were avoided by a son of tacit
agreement, and the evening was spent in a very happy
manner. Mr. H. *Minn. of Lectfield, pronounced
a splendid eloge use his gracious Majesty and the Bei
tith Constitution, and was applauded to the echo, both

harmony; that Mt. A.ezander. and some owes Wiwi.,
duals present, elated to the utmost their vocal powers,
and were greeted with plaudits as hearty as they were
sincere. A litue after eight, the Provosts Magistrates,
and most of the company adjourned to the Trades'
Hall, where they again evinced their loyalty by dedi.
eating flowing bumpers to the health of his Majesty,
and almost every distinguished statesman in the laud.
Among these the Earl of Eldon was not forgotten; or
rather, we should say, he ieccived the hill beliefit of his
own invention, of a supplesssentary cheer. Its the course
of the evening squibs and crackers were !kind whiz-
zing overhead, and tat-barrels seen blazing at various
stations.
