LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST2s.
GORDON v. CORDON.
In this case, which has excited so much litigation,
Mr. Rosa stated, on behalf of the defendant James
Gordon, that some minutes had been prepared of
the order made by his Lordship, and that it was
proper to state to his Lordship that the defendant
had instantly discharged Harry Gordon, his brother,
out of prison, in consequence of the opinion formerly
given by the Court. .
The LORD CHANCELLOR—This certainly is a very
painful case, take it as you like, in every respect. 1
am glad Mr. Harry Gordon has been discharged by
James the defendant. In this he has done right;
but I cannot help regretting that this case ever was
brought to a public discussion in a Court of LAW or
Equity. shall read over all these minutes, and shall
myself write out such an order as I think essential to
the justice of this distressing case. I have considered
my judgment with the deepest anxiety, and I see no
reasort to induce me to alter one word in what I said;
for if I ant •to believe what James alleges to be the
fact, then I must believe the whole of the other par-
ties to be most dreadfully perjured—a conclusion
which I never can fox a moment entertain.
EX-PARTE SPENCER, IN THE MATTER OF SPENCER.
This was a very important question relative to the
proceedings in suing out• Commissions of Bankruptcy;
and the question was, whether a creditor could carry
on 'an action against a.bankrupt for a debt due to
him, and at the same time prove such debt be-
fore the Commissioners ? The applicant in this case
is in prison, and the creditor has nevertheless pro-
ceeded to prove his debt before the Commissioners.
The Loan CHANCELLOR, alter looking into all the
facts of the case, and into all the former decisions
which had bein given, said, that as it appeared to
him to be one• of• a most interesting general nature,
he would send a case for the solemn argument of a
Court of Law, as there were many doubts in the point.
He was the more inclined to do.so, as the late Lord
Ellenborough, one of the greatest and most enlight-
ened men that ever England had produced, and
whose energy of mind was indescribable, had held
that the clause in the Bankiupt. Act which enacted
this, was so obscure, that rend voltiit non dixit. He
therefore sent a case to the Court of Fitig's Bench.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then ordered.a Solicitor,
who had refused to.deliver up his bill pursuant to an
order of the Court, to do so within 14 days, or stand
committed to his Majesty's Prison of the Fleet.
This terminated the present Sittings, and at half
after• one his Lordship left the Court. He has gone
through all his Bankrupt Petitions, Cause Petitions,
and Motions, and has given intimation of his inten-
tion, during the vacation, to send judgments ■p to
the Registrars Office..

HALIFAX, AUGUST 29.

On Monday se'nnight most of the principal inha-
bitants received a printed Circular, requesting them,
in the name of the Magistrates, to repair to the Ses-
sions House, for the purpose of being sworn in as
Special Constables. In consequence of this intima-
tion a considerable number of the inhabitants attend-
ed, and were sworn in to preserve the peace.
On the 'Wednesday preceding there was a Meeting
cf the work-people of this nei7hbourhood on Skercoat
Common. The persons assernt.led were addressed by a
man who said he had been at Manchester and began
to give an account of the affair. Whilst he was
speaking, THOMAS HonToN, Esq. arrived on the spot,
and the orator desisted. Mr. HORTON then spoke to
the crowd, telling them they would not assist their
own cause by such Meetings. Some one exclaimed
they were starving, and must have a cheap Govern-
ment. The worthy Magistrate cautioned them against
using any seditious language. They were civil, and
appeared evidently disappointed. The Meeting broke
up after about two hours, during which Mr. lion-
'Tux remained 0:3 the ground.

The importance of the details respecting late trans-
actions at Manchester, have been such u to exclude
almost every other subject from our attention, and
from that of the Public generally ; and the room
they have occupied in our columns, left us but little
space to express our opinions respecting an event
which N e sincerely wish could be blotted out from
all record and recollection. As this, however, is
impossible, the bane, we hope, will not reach pos•
terity unaccompanied with its antidote. It will not—
it cannot !—Already the correctness of pure, uncor-
rupted English feeling ; its innate detestation of the
blood of war in the time of peace ; its abhorrence of
all indiscriminate anticipations of vengeance, on sup-
posed, or on real culprits, of any description—have
been marked in a tone of feeling which will vindi-
cate the national character in the eyes of posterity,
in spite of every effort to paint the outside of the se-
pukhre, and hide the dead awns bones.—" Should you
lay it on an inch thick, to this complexion it must
come at last !" •

The leading facts are now before the Public—but
net all the facts. In justice to the Magistrates, and
jtistice to the sufferers, " the truth, the whole truth,"
c.:ght to be fully elicited. Let the Public have " no-
t;arng but the truth." We demand a full and serious
inquiry into the conduct of the Magistrates. In using
this language, we arc only speaking the voice of our
country. W e demand a serious inquiry into every
part of their conduct, from the commencement of their
proceedings to the tragical catastrol he cf the 16th of
August—Nay, to the end of the examinations of Mr
HUNT and the other prisoners on Friday last. This,
we maintain, is due, in justice to the Magistrates, as well
as to the pi isoners, that they may have a full opportu-
nity to wipe off; by the force of unimpeachableevidcnce,
every unfounded aspersion that may have been thrown
upon them. Evidence they must have, which has
never yet been suffered to transpire. We say so, be-
cause we cannot believe it possible, that, upon such
evidence as has yet been offered to the Public, a letter
of thanks from the Secretary of State could have been
sent to them. A full opportunity should, therefore,
be afforded them to bring forward •this evidence;

and if, in the proud consciousness of their correct
conduct, they would prefer the silent approval of
their own minds, we dten say that, not for their sakes,
but for the vindication 'clear national character—a
matter of much greater importance than any thing
that regards them, the subject should not—eanno—

LEEDS, AUGUST 29.

Meetings of Delegates from the different townships
within 16 miles of this place, are held almost daily,
either on the subject of Reform, or to procure an
eclualization and advance of wages. Many of the
Masters are willing to accede to the terms of the
Union Societies, %tith some modification ; but most
of the opulent ones rem•tin inflexible. lam happy,
however, to state, that there is a gradual improve-
ment in the Woollen and Stuff Trade, and many
fresh hands are setting on in some of the principal
Factories ; though the Manufacturers complain, and
with reason, of the scarcity of cash, and the paucity
of their remittances from all parts abroad. If trade
continttes to ist,prove, it will dd away with much of
the discontent that at present exists. The workman
and labourer, when enabled to procure a sufficiency
of the necessaries, and a little of the comforts of life,
for himself and family, will care little as to Reform
in Parliament, or any thing else connected with the
subject.—The two arrests stated to have taken place
here last Monday, were not any way connected with
political offences.

Those who have travell'il in this busy world

Snare's the face, with ey'ry tempting dish,
To tickle tastes or please a peaking palate,
From puts and pies, to simples lobster salad.
But when on calling for the senior waiter.
(♦ Lady by perhaps for whom to cater).
They find the falsehood of the obese of plenty—
The bill alone is full—the larder empty.
What's to be done 7—So late, and they so weary,
Tke night pitck dark., the next stage too so dreary ;
The waiters an and the landlord civil,
Their wish to please has conqucr'd half the evil.

Sigh for what's gone, and sup on eggs and bacon.

considerable anxiety ; and many thousand persons,
from the neighbouring towns, are expected to be

to proceed to the Meeting in marching order, with
bands of music, &c.

TORRYBURN, AUGUST 19.

The operative Weavers in this parish met here on
the 14th instant, and unanimously agreed to Petition
the Heritors of the parish, to take into their conside-
ration the deprivations they lay under from want of
employment. In consequence of which representa•
tion, a Meeting of the Heritors was held in the Ses-
sions•house here, when Sir ROBERT PRESTON, of
Valley field, Bart. Itstrs Muumuu, Esi. Advocate,
of Inzievar, and other representatives of the absent
Heritors, met, and agreed in the most cordial man-
ner to employ the young men at 1 and the married
men at lc 6d. per diem, and to continue to find them
employment till such time as a revival of the trade
took place, or the hands were otherwise employed—
an example worthy of imitation.—Edinburgh Star.

MEETING OF THE COUNTY OF RENFREW.

RENFRiW. AUGUST SO,

At a Meeting of the County, called by special ad-
r rati ement from the CONVEN ER, on the Requisition
of Lord BLANTYRE and other Ileritors, for the par-
pose of taking into consideration the best and most
effectual mode of relieving, by creasing employment
or otherwise, the distress at present experienced by a
very considerable proportion of the Operative Manu-
facturers in the County, Mr. Munn, of Caldwell,
Vice-Lieutenant, in the Chair—The Meeting having
taken into consideration the state of the Operative
Manufacturers of the County, and the difficulty of
managing a General County Subscription, in such a
manner as properly to meet the present emergency,
recommend that Parochial Subscriptions be imme-
diately resorted to, under the direction of the Ileritors
of Parishes, for the relief of those.who are out of
work ; and at the same time, in consideration of the
peculiar exige.icies of those Parishes which contain
the largest proportion of Manufacturing population,
the Meeting resolve to place a Subsidiary Fund, is
be raised by volun:ary subscription, at the disposal of
a Committee, consisting of SirJous MAXWELL, Bart.
and nitre others.—The -Meeting unanimously recom-
mended it as more beneEcial to at:minister relief as
far as posible, by providing employment in agricul-
tural labour, or the like, for such as are out of work,
than by granting direct pecuniary aid ; and that one
shllfl ig per day be adopted as the general rate of,
wages to be given for such employment.

to be confounded with those two-penny publications,
to which blasphemy was eiclusively confined ; for_it
should be borne in mind, that all the Press had con-
demned those seditious and blasphemous publica-
tions. Indeed the Press, taken collectively, might
be considered as sound in this country. With re-
spect to the right of petition, that was a distinct thing
from the right of assembling ; but, in order to peti-
tion, the people must assemble, as the freeholders did
now. The present Meeting could not petition with-
out assembling. It might be going too far, to take
upon us to state what may or may not be tae law in
this respect. He concluded by again recommending
it to the Rev. Gentleman to withdraw his Declaration,
in order to avoid as much as possible any thing that
might tend to disturb the unanimity of the Meeting.
Thollev. Mr. TROMAB then withdrew the Decla-
ration, after which thanks were voted to the High
Sheriff and Lord Macclesfield. The Meeting then
dispersed. Many Gentlemen signed the Address be-
fore leaving the room.

DENBIGHSHIRE MEETING.

This Meeting took place, pursuant to formal No-
tice from Sir WILLIAM WATKINS WYNNE, Bart. the
Lord Lieutenant, on Tuesday last, in the Shire Hall,
at Ruthen. It was resolved, first, that from the tried
loyalty and uniform orderly conduct of the inhabi-
tants of Denbighshire, even during periods of the
severest privation, the Meeting have full confidence
in the continuance of the domestic tranquillity pre-
sently existing ; second, that at the same time, seeing
that, under the specious pretence of Reform, serious
attacks are made, not only against the British Consti-
tution, but against the Christian Religion, the Meet-
ing feel that they would be wanting in a most sacred
duty were they to remain inactive, or were they to
neglect doing the utmost in their power to counteract
the efforts of the disaffected ; and, thirdly, that to
further this object, it is highly expedient that the
Armed Yeomanry of the County should be aug-
mented. A subscription was accordingly entered into,
and upwards of eleven hundred pounds were sub-
scribed on the spot.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
COWES, AUGUST B—Three o'Clock.
This moment his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE-
GENT, on board his Royal yacht, is anchored in our
Roads, and a more brilliant assemblage was never
presented. His ROYAL HIGHNESS was received un-
der salutes of twenty-one guns each from the Castles
of Cowes and Carlshot, and crowds of elegant fe-
males, and the whole of the population of the island,
are congregating, for the purpose of paying their re-
spects to his ROYAL HIGHNESS.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS, it is expected, will remain
four or five days; and on Tuesday is to honour the
Marquis of ANGLESEA with his company to dinner,
at his elegant little mansion at Cowes. This is one
of the most delightful days of the season, and our
Island never had a more captivating appearance.

Saturday, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK
arrived at Windsor from Brighton, for the purpose
of being present at the Council, which assembled to
receive the Monthly Report of his MAJESTY'S Physi-
cians. Yesterday the following Bulletin was issued :

" Winci,ok:astle, August 7, 1819.

" M. BAII.LIE, " It. Wicia,."
A Svplement to the Louden Gazette of Tuesday
was published on Saturday night, but its contents
are altogether stale and uninteresting. They consist
of copies and extracts of General Orders, Reports, &c.
concerning some of the operations in the campaigns
in India in the years ISI7 and ISIS, which did not
officially arrive in regular course; but the whole of
which duly appeared in the Star many months ago.

Two men of the names of Harris? and Downer, were
on Thursday evening taken into custody, at Wigan,
on a charge of sedition. They had arrived there
from Stockport, and are supposed to be Delegates.
After undergoing a short examination, before the
Magistrates at Wigan, they were conveyed in care
of an officer in a post-chaise to Stockpoit.

MR. BIRCH.

The Stockport Magistrates have received such in-
formation of the perpetrators of the murderous at-
tack on Birch, the constable, as has induced them to
publish a new edition of the advertisement offering
the reward, with the names and description of James
M'lnnis and Jacob *lnnis, natives of Ireland, and
weavers of Edgely, near Stockport, as being deeply
implicated in the felony, and as having absconded.
The following letter respecting the state of Mr.
Birch, and the measures taken for the discovery of
the assassins, has been transmitted to the Editor of
the Leeds Mercury, by desire of PETER NI Alt S A ND,
Esq. of Stockport, one of the Magisttates fur the
County of Lancaster :

" Stockport, Thursday Morning, August 5, IRI9.

Birch. lam very glad to say, that he still survives, and that he
is much better than his medical attendants had reason to expect ;
he improves daily, and although he is yet extremely weak, yet
very great hopes are now entertained of his ultimate recovery.
The Magistrates have sat daily since the unfortunate affair hap-
pened, and have (as you know no doubt) committed a person of
the name of Bruce, to Chester Castle, as an accessary. Several
others have been in custody, and one still continues; the real as-
sassin, I am sorry to say, it is believed, is not yet actually in
ettstody ; but it is a pleasure to add, that the Magistrates are in
possession of such information as has discovered to them the
whole transaction, and as will very shortly, I trust, lead to the
apprehension of the principal offender.—l am, Sir, yours very

LEEDS, AUGUST 7.

Last Saturday, a Select Meeting of Merchants and
others, was held at the Court-house, in this town, to
take into consideration the propriety of affording to
120 croppers and their families, amounting in the
whole to about 500 individuals, the means of emi-
grating to America. This Meeting was held at the
earnest request of the suffering workmen. After
about two hours spent in deliberatin, it was deter
mined, that it would not be adviseable at the present
time, to originate.any public subscription for the pro-
posed purpose, but that if no material improvement
should take place in trade, before the next Spring,
the matter shold at that time be re-considered, and
if it was then judged proper, a subscription should be
set en foot, for enabling such of them as were then
inclined to quite the country, to proceed to Canada.
We hear, with great pleasure, that the Cotton trade
has improved considerably within the last three
weeks. The raw material has advanced about three
half-pence a pound, and the manufactured article
will sell for at least ten per cent more than it would
have fetched a month ago. Calico weaving, which
was one of the most depressed branches of the trade,
has undergone a material improvement, and the ad-
vance to the weaver may be stated at 20 per cent.
upon his former wages. This improvement in trade is
said to arise from an increased Continental demand,
and not from any home speculations.
The Sub-Committee lately appointed by the Board
of the Workhouse have now made their Report on
the causes of the present increase of pauperism, and
the means of remedying it. They have come to the
conclusion, that the only general resource is in the
soil. They therefore recommend that the guardians
of the poor should provide for each of the partly-
employed families from half a rood to a rood of
ground, as near as possible to their habitations, on
which they may raise potatoes, cabbages, beans, &c.
for their families, and employ their leisure time in
this kind of permanently productive labour. " A rood
of potatoes and a pig," say they, " will begin toraise
the cottager into independence, and for them he will
love his country the better."
The next source of relief they suggest is the culti-
vation of Wastes. Domestic colonization, upon a
small scale, they think should be tried, the requisite
funds for which they suppose might be raised in
Leeds, by voluntary contributions.
'The last point to which they directed their atten-
tion was Emigration. They do not reject the idea :
they feel a conviction, that, under certain circum-
stances, with the concurrence and aid of Government,
it might be rendered advantageous; but it appears
from their correspondence with Lord BATIiiiRST, that
Government do not contemplate, as yet, the interfe-
rence of Parish Officers on the work of Foreign
Colonization.

BRIGHTON, AUGUST R.

Friday evening the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied
by General Sir B. BLOOMFIELD, returned to this
place, where he was received by his Royal Brother
the Duke of YORK, the Marquis of ANGLESEA, Gene-
ral Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL, Admiral Sir EDMUND
NAGLE, Colonel THORNTON, &C.
Yesterday the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, the LIFFEY,
and another frigate, two gum brigs, the HOUND re-
venue cutter, the yachts of the Marquis of ANGLESEA,
&c. were close in, and at 2 P.M. the state barge from
the royal yacht run in also with sixteen oars well
plied, the rowers uniformly habited in blue jackets
and trowsers with red facings, having as much of a
military as of a nautical appearance.
At half past two, the REGENT, having hold of the
arm of the Captain of the Royat. GEORGE, the Hon.
C. PacEr, walked from the Palace to the water's
edge, crossing the Stevie to the descent by Russell
ikuse, amidst the joyous acclamations of the popu-
lace. His ROYAL HIGHNESS was habited in a blue
loose coat, white trowsers, black stock, and white
hat ; and, truly, we never saw him in better appa-
rent health and spirits. Hic ROYAL HIGHNESS was
also accompanied by Sir B. BLOOMFIELD, Sir ED-
MUND NAGLE, Sir W. KEPPLE, &c. The Marquis,
of ANGLESEA had gone on board earlier. His ROYAL
HIGHNESS'S embarkation was effected in the easiest
and safest manner, and on the REGENT'S reaching the
yacht, the Royal standard was hoisted at the main,
and the thunders of salutes from the shipping were
reverberated from the shore. The scene altogether was
as grand as lively, and was increased in interest and
variety by the numerous pleasure boats, filled with
elegantes, all anxious to enjoy the spectacle, and be
participators of the pleasures. The yacht, the fri-
gates, &c. stood out for the south east, where they
were visible in the evening, the weather continuing
equally favourable, with the wind in the same guar.
ter. His Royal Highness's decided destination was
not suffered to transpire.

Our supply of Wheat was rather small this morn-

Essex, the quality of which being very inferior,
caused a better sale for fine old Wheat, Which ob-

more freely, in consequence of the unfavourable re-
port of the quality of the new.—Oats fully support

dents fay just. In the, rnidtt of all joie emburiasments, and
of the general agitation of people's minds, it is impossible to
foresee the issue of events so complicated and extraordinary.
" It is asserted that tare ancient Regiment of Walloon Guards
(now called the i2d Regiment of Spanish Guards) is likely to
form part of the Expedition. Much confidence is placed in the
fidelity of this corps, and on that loyalty of which it has given
multiplied proofs since its first formation. The King has been
extremely affected by the insurrection of the troops; however,
he persists in trying the fate of arms, to endeavour to regain
possession of the South American provinces, which are on the
point of being wholly lost to the Mother Country. The Madrid
Gazette has preserved a profound silence on all that has passed,
and the private letters hardly venture to give a few circum-
stances. What is certain is, that several superior Officers of the
Army were no strangs!rs to the revolt of the troops, and several
fresh arrests have taken place. It is now affirmed that the
troops of the Camp of Vittoria had formed the project to seize
fai aa Cadiz, the Isle of Leon, and the fleet : with what inten-
tion is unknown.

6' Some persons are pefsuaded that there was a conspiracy, of
which ('adiz was the seat, to cause the army to proclaim the
Constitution of the Cones, after which the troops, led by Ge-
sit•rals who are not named, were to march to Madrid, to force
the Government to convoke the Diet of the Nation. Little
credit teem.; due to those reports, but it is certain that without
conspiring every enlightened person desires a change of system;
the discontent is general, and certainly with reason. Never, no
not even under the last Prince of the Austrian Dynasty, was
Spain reduced to so deplorable a situation as that in which it is
now placed."

ROYAL IRCHANGE.
An improvement having taken place in some of
the Foreign Exchanges, occasioned a rather brisker
demand for Bills yesterday : there was money for
Bills upon Hambnrgh, at 34. 2. and 34 1 ; prime
Bills were offered, at the commencement of business,
at 33. 11. however the drawers submitted to sell at
34. and from that to one grote higher, may be consi-
dered as the correct price. Amsterdam was in more
request than last post, at from 11. 6. to 11.61—for
Paris there was money and Bills at 24. 1266324.15.
—Spain was offered at 39/.—.We are not aware of
any particular news in the mercantile world under
this head : trade continues languid, and our mer-
chants are generally shy of each other, and of en-
gaging in any fresh transactions.

➢ZINCING-LANE.

Coffee has continued very dull throughout the
whale week : some partial business has been done by
private contract, at lower prices for money ; the pre-
sent quotations therefore, as they appear in our price
currents, must be considered as nearly norniral.
The British Plantation Sugar Market is nearly in
the same state as last week, still continuing very
irr-ctire. Foreign Sugars of all descriptions are very
flat : at a public sale on Thursday, about 400 chests
Havannah went off heavily at a reduction of 2s. per
cv t. Refined Sugars have been more inquired for,
' and several parcels sold, particularly Lumps, at
higher prices.
Pepper, Pimento, arid other Spices, continue de-
clining in price, and in very limited demand.
The sales declared by the East IndiiiCompany are,
for the' Bth of April, 501 bales Cotton, 7,461 bags
ditto; 11,354 bags Rice; '1,580 bdgs Sugar.—For
10th of May,, 1,079 tons Saltpetre ; 6,6'10 bags Black

COTTON MAIIKET.

Our advices from Liverpool are rather cf a more
favourable nature. Cotton was somewhat steadier,
and a sale of 1000 Bowcds had taken place on Wed-
nesday at an improvement of about id. per lb.
In this mai ket they have remained steady through-
out the week, without any•variation in price, except-
ing Bengals, which may be quoted id. lower; but:
the business has been very inconsiderable. •
