FRACAS IN COURT.—On Friday week, at the quarter
sessions in Kilrush, Clare co., while Mr. O'Connell was
defending the persons charged with an outrage on Mr.
Hill; the government inspector, Mr. Hill, who was on
the bench, was observed to laugh, and in reply to a ques-
tion thereupon by Mr. O'C., said he was indeed laughing
at his foolish observations. Mr. O'Connell said he would
not suffer such language to pass with impunity elsewhere,
and that he should notice it out of court. The presiding
barrister required Mr. O'Connell to find sureties to keep

the peace, and on his refusal he was committed to bride--
well, where he was visited by his brother attorneys, and
spent with them a pleasant evening. The subsequent
proceedings have not yet transpired.
DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—A letter, dated
Portumna, 3rd instant, states that on the previous Friday,
as Mr. Hacket, and his lady, of that place, were returning
'a e
homeward from Redwood, Tipperary, in a car, the
evening, two men deliberately aimed at them
with
fire
arms, upon which he jumped out and struck at them with
his whip, but both barrels were discharged, the slugs
from
loss which dreadfully wounded him. Though faint
loss of blood, he regained his seat and got to Portumna,
three miles of, where by the last accounts he lay dan-
gerously ill. The murderous attack is unaccountable, as
Mr. Hacket is acknowledged by all parties to be a most
benevolent man, and his lady not less amiable,--giving
employment to many poor persons ; food to the hungry
at cost price, and charitably rendering their residence a
dispensary to the sick poor of the neighbourhood.
IRRL AND.—The amount of advances made from the
Treasury for the relief of Irish distress by public works,
was, on warrants issued up to June 15th, £5,574,876.
From the third monthly report of the Irish Relief Com-
missioners it appears that the whole number of rations
daily distributed, gratuitously, in the 1677 divisions re-
ceiving relief, was 1,923,361; and 91,326 rations per day
were sold. The average cost of a ration is about 2d.
The daily cost of the food given away is therefore rather
more than £20,000. If the 312 yet to be included be added
and the number of rations required for them be assumed

to be, on an average, the same as for the 1677 already re-
ceiving relief, the' total number of rations to be daily dis-
tributed, without payment, will be about 2,388,000, at a
cost of about £24,000 per day, or £168,000 per week.
The whole number of persons receiving relief, (allowing
half-rations for children) will be upwards of 2,700,000.
REFORMATION IN DUBLlN.—Yesterday, as we an-
nounced in our last publication, five persons renounced
Popery in St. Audoen's Church. One of them is a Mr.
John M`Shane, who has been employed for years as a
literary teacher in different Romish seminaries. He long
resisted the truth of the gospel, but at length yielded to
its influence under the teaching of some of the reformed
priests. The Rev. Thomas Scott received the converts ;
and, after they had partaken of the Lord's supper, and
had signed the roll, he presented each of them with a
Bible and a copy of the Book of Common Prayer. The
Rev. R. H. Maunsell Eyre preached from the Ist chapter
of St. Paul's epistle to the Romans, 15tliand 16th verses
—" As much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel
to you that are at Rome also. For lam not ashamed of
the gospel of Christ : for it is the power of God unto sal-
vation to every one that believeth.—Dublin Evn. Herald.
INCENDIARY FIRE IN CORK.—Last week the work-
house of Cork was discovered to be on fire, the work of
an incendiary, threatening the destruction of extensive
public property, and great loss of life. It occurred after
all the inmates had retired to bed in the range of wooden
sheds, lately erected in addition to the workhouse, which
are all connected together. Some one effected an' entrance
into a cellar, formed of the stone foundations, upon which
the sheds are erected, where the coffins are kept, and his
preparations for carrying out his design evinced the ex-
treme of cool and wicked ingenuity. He stuffed some of

the coffins with shavings, and piled them on each ether,
so as to form a communication with the floor above, where
a thousand paupers were sleeping. Fortunately, one of
the women, who was sleeping immediately over the place,
and was almost suffocated by the smoke, just after the
fire commenced; jumped out of bed and threw herself
from the window. The alarm was then given, and the

men got out. A discharged pauper.is supposed to be the
incendiary. The fire was got out by active exertions.
ACCIDLNTS TO THE SEA KING AND THE ATHLONE.
On Sunday morning, about two a.m., owing to the very
dense fog which prevailed, the stetuner Sea King went
ashore on the smallest of the Copeland Islands, on her
passage.from .i.iverpool to this port (Belfast).. No blame

to a close, that it became difficult to obtain committees; but in
our case, with less delay than might have been apprehended, a
committee was appointed for the 25th ult. The whole of that
day was occupied with the question of title, which the commit-
tee settled by requiring the qualifying terms which had been
inserted in the first act, and then adjourned till Monday, at 11
o'clock.

THE REGISTERED PALETOT CASE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SIR,—In your report of the proceedings before the Vice-
llor of England on Saturday, June 12th, you describe

Chance

ourselves as receiving the protection of the Court -in respect to
an infringement of our patented right to an invention, and by
an assumption of the title by which it has been publicly known.
From the great popularity we have attained by the sale of the
subject of the injunction, a garment styled the Registered
Paletot, of Llama Cloth, it may be assumed that the public will
be somewhat interested with the precise facts of the case.
It has already been described, that, when first introducing
our invention, we with much care selected a name hitherto un-
known in this country as, tracing the origin of the word pa-
letot, it was shown that it was derived from the Greek, adopted
by the Roman, and afterwards by the French linguists. " Cir-
curnjicitur corpori pallium habitus Graxorum" ; by Bayley,
thus, paletoque, or pallescote, a coat sith sleeves.
That we exercised due caution in selecting an unusual name
has, by the result of these recent proceedings in the Court of
Chancery, been fully proved. For such, unfortunately, is the
state of competition of trade, or the envy of individuals engaged
in it, that, should eminent patronage and success attend any
member in particular, he is immediately subjected to the like -
injury of which we have had cause to complain. Now, had we
advertised our invention simply as a new overcoat, it is more
than probable that, ere this, we should have been confounded
with the many advertisers that since our appearance before the
public have assumed a somewhat similar description to that
which from the first has been employed by us.
The defendant in this case, being perhaps more conspicuous
than the rest, was first selected to be an example, as we are now
determined to enforce our rightful claim to the on (as
far as regards the English language) of the title Registered
Paletot of Llama Cloth; but yet being unwilling to proceed
against those who may have unguardedly used a similar title
without first giving them notice. We would, therefore, respect-
fully beg permission, through the medium of your columns,
now to notify this our intention with regard to all present or
future copyists; for it would appear, from the affidavits made
by Messrs. Dawbarn and Son, of Liverpool, Messrs. Waring
and Son, of Birmingham, as, also, many of our other influential
agents, that they have experienced equal inconvenience with
ourselves through so many tradesmen in their neighbourhood
assuming the same, or a similar unauthorized, title to that of
the Registered Paletot of Llama Cloth. It may be judicious
here to explain, that we believe that, bad a continuance of these
unfair proceedings been allowed, we should have been seriously
injured should purchasers have been induced to believe that
these piracies were articles of our manufacture, the moderate
charge and excellence of which has induced patronage, extend.
ing from the Royal families, both here and on the continent,
together with the principal members of the court and the pro-
fessions, as, also, general favour with the great middle classes
of this country.

raging all grievous annoyances that may affect industrious
