aside in a wet state, and keeping them closely confined in a box,.
Wetting 'them every six months; yet they have been found at
the end of that time capable of containing boiling water, and to.
be perfectly free from mildew: and all dispositions to heat, and
without the least mark of deterioration..
The two first of the following experiments were made on the
12th January, 1832, upon No. 4 Sail-cloth, manufactured from
the best Riga Flax, against No. I Sail-cloth- manufactured
from the POorimara Tenax. The third experiment was made on

PHORIM LIM TENAX, or New Zealand Flax, when satura-
ted with the peculiar compound recently discovered—boiling
heat, 212 degrees, will not affect it. Frosty weather dues not
injure it.

The superior qualities of this new manufacture have been estab-
lished by a severe trial of two years and a half to the satisfac-
tion of some of the most scientific Judges in this kingdom. who
have given their written testimony to that effect; and the Public
are respectfully_ informed that an extensive water-side premises,
near London, have been already engaged for the purpose of
commencing immediate operations, and that the operative de-
partment will always be conducted under the supermtendance
of competent persons.

VRANCIS DOGGETT, C 6, VINE-PLACE, LORD-STREET,
sole AGENT in Liverpool for BETTS'S PATENT
FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, returns thanks to the
Public for their very liberal support of the above incomparable
Spirit, which has been certified by the most eminent.chemists
to be as pare and wholesome as the best varieties 4if Foreign
Brandy, and continues to be recommended by .the Medical
profession in most parts of the kingdom. F. a also promises
to supply every Article in the Wine and Spirit trade, whole-
sale add retail, free from adulteralion 'and on the very
lowest terms at which genuine comm ' Wes can be afforded.
F. D. lays a disappointed and aner /assailant before the
fll
Public in his own words, extracted' rom his letter to J. T.
Betts and Co,. February 11th, 1833. The whole of it and
others dated December .Bth and 21rh, 1832, and January sth,
1833, may be perused by those who incline, at the above
address. James -Norval's anxiety to sell, as Agent, Sub-agent,
or Traveller, the Brandy he now abuses, must be evident to
the reader. The merit and success of that which he subse-
quently espoused—onhis services being declined by J. T. Betts
and Co.—have been gravely and, doubtless, truly represented
in open Court by his Employers as appears in the report of
a trial Desanges v. Desvignes. F. D. has bestowed no intem-
perance or spleen on J. Norval, tut has coolly opposed to
J. N.'s misstatements facts fiirnis!sed by F. D.'s assailants.
J. N.'s attempt at a hit in the concluding paragraph of his ad-
vertisement is a most ludicrous and discreditable failure.

EXTRACTS FROM JAMES NOR` AL'S LETTER TO J. T. BETTS AND CO.

February 11th, 1833.
" I was sorry to learn by your letter that in the mean time
you declined the offer as agent, convinced as I am that it
would ultimately have led to your advantage. In the first
place, from my very extensive knowledge of the trade, and the
pecuniary resources of each of its members, I am certain that a
bad debt could hardly have happened; and, in the second place,
from my intimacy with the dealers, I could have persuaded
many of them to buy your spirit who otherwise would have
never thought of it; and, • the third place, from the connec-
tions I have formed in eve town and village around Liver-
pool, the quantity I could hay old would be very great."
\
" I would propose that you i uld appoint another agent to
meet . the orders from the country, who would occasionally
travel to forward its sale; and I am certain that if I were ap•
pint( d I en ild do an immense business in this way, not only
in this immediate vicinity,
.bUt in the more populous parts of
Ireland, where I have connections formed, as also in Scotland,
for every town of which I have persons in the trade who pur-
chase friim me. . .
" 1 hare to request your answer to this proposal, and hope
that it will be favourable to my wishes."

The following extract may serve as a full answer to James
Norval': boasted preference given to E. H. Destlynes's Brandy,
and should HE ever .tequire "placard" or "long WINDED
ADVERTISEMENT," the following Is recommended as particu-
larly caLpted to the purpose ; and should his real opinion of J. T.
BETTS and CO. 's BRANDY be desired, the curious may be grati-
fied by perusing his repeated applications to become their Agent,
Sob-agent, or Traveller. His amusing Letters on the subject
lay at the Office,

From the Times of Friday, 21st June, 1833,
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, THURSDAY, Jcst 20.
(134.011; a common jury.)
DRSANGRS V. DEsvinNEs.
This was an actiou for a Breach of Contract, and also for
work and labour.
Mr. Serjeant Wide conducted the Plaintiff's case; Mr.
Serjeant Taddv, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Martin were counsel
fir the Defendant.
It appeared that a Monsieur Despi4s having set up a Brandy.
Distillery iu the neighbourhood of Golden-square, which he
carried on in partnership with the defendant, the plaintiff, who
had previously been a diamond merchant, in consideration of
a promise from My.-Desvignes to obtain a share in the busi-
ness, took an active part for one or two months in furthering
the interests of the concern, and negotiated with a Mr. Love-
day for the purchase of certain premises, in which the business
has ever since been carried on.
,No specific contract, however,
was made with him as to the share he was to have in the con-
cern; but the defrndant subsequently promised to compensate
him for his services. Eridence.was adduced sun the part of the.
defendant, to show that the speculation had turned out an un-
mfltable oiu notwithstanding a change sf experiment had been_
tried, first frosts distillation from runt to distillation from potatoes,
and afterwards to distillation from whiskey; and that, therefore,
the plaintiff had lost nothing by not having had a share in it,
even if ho had contracted tor one, which it was contended he
had not

The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that there was not
snfticitist-evidenee to support 11la .I:omits on. a special cotkuLmt,
for u share in the business; but that the plaintiff was entitled
to recover, On the common count for work and labour, some
remuneration for the services he had rendered to the defendant.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages LAO.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

Munnee.—Last week an uufortuate man received, while
returning. from the fair of Clonolty, so desperate a beating,
that he aied last Friday.—Jlunmel herald.
Between six aud.seven o'clock on last Sunday evening, a
man of the name of Looby, was found in a state of insensibi-
lity, near Knockanulla, about half a mile outside Cashel, on
the road to Golden; he had seven desperate wounds on his head
from stones, which he received from a man of the name of
Daniel, a neighbour of his, and with whom lie was going to
Gerane, where they both lived ; there is very little hope of his
recovery.-16d.
On 2,tonday last, the fair day o. Cappagh, a riot of a most
terrific mature took place. Two factious fought for a consider-
able time with inconceivable fury, exhibiting in their inhuman
rage the ferocity of canibais more than the semblance of civil-
ized mortals. ‘Captant Wilcocks, with' a .police force, 40 in
number, when attem4ting to separate them, was dreadfully
assailed by both parties; Captain Wilcocks received several
blows, and the arias of many of the police were broken, and
others of them severely injured. In the midst of this dreadful
scene, Captain Wilcocks, and the police under his command,
conducted themselves with astonishing forbearance, and, at the
same time, acted with the utmost intrepidity. They stieceetied
in arresting 15 of the belligerents amidst dense showers of
stones and other missiles thrown from the tops of the houses,
and other places of eminence.- The rioters were safely lodged
in Tipperary gael.—Cionntel Advertiser.
ARRAN QUAY OFFICE—FIRING AT A DESERTER.—A pri-
vate of the 60th Rifles, now quartered in Dublin, deserted a
short time ago. On Wednesday night, three non-commissioned
officers Wets directed by their commanding officer to go in co-
loured clothes to Thomas-court, where it was suspected the de-
serter .was concealed, and endeavour to make hint out, and, in
the event of their succeeding, to take him prisoner. The non-
commissioned officer succeeded in apprehending the deserter
—but, as they were escorting him though Thomas-street, he
suddenly ran from among them. One of the soldiers fired at
the fugitive, aiming at his legs; the ball missed aim, struck the
pavement, and, bounding upwards, hit a horse belonging to
Air. Smith iu the knee. The deserter was again captured, and
the man who wounded Mr. Smith's horse taken prisonei. The
case was heard before the magistrates of this office. The de-
serter was sent to the provost, but the man who maimed the
horse discharged. It appeared to the magistrates that the :sol-
dier acted in the strict performance of duty when he fired the
shot.—Dublin Evening .1/Ina.
A MAN NOT A MAN.—A curious and somewhat laughable
occurrence took place a few days since at the bathing strand at
Williamstown. There is a portion of this strand protected from
the public eve, and appropriated to the exclusive use of ladies,
as a sign exhibited thereat denotes. OQ the day in question,
some females, while in the water,were thrown into a state of the
almost consternation by seeing two bathing-women bearing in
a person (who, although in a suitable dress,) was too evidently
of the opposite sex.; and on expressing their horror at the vio-
lation of decency thus openly committed by the introduction of
a man, they received the following answer :—" Ob ! never feUr,
ladieS—it's not a men at all, its only a Priest!" We. re-
ctilleOt -that -Mr. O'Connell mainly rested his defence of
Father Maguire, in the celebrated case of Anne M`Garaghan
upon the physical impossibility which, the learned advocate
contended, existed in one of his " sacred profession" ant" holy
calling" committing the act imputed to 111;1: and we *ell re-
member the sarcastic and biting irony with which the then
Chief Baron commented upon that part of the case ;:but here
we have the sentiments expressed by Mr. O'Connell practically
acted upon by the bathing-women of Merrion, solemnly, and
we dare say seriously, asserting that which they had been taught
to believe—namely, that a priest is not a man.—DublinEpetting
Mail.

A CociseEY SPORTSMAN.—At the Chelmsford petty sessions,
last week, Cornelius O'Brien, tailor, of LiYerpool-street,
Bi-
shopsgate-street, had been stunmoned for shooting upon the
lands of Thomas Smith, of Barking, without a license. Mr.
Smith—l was not much afraid for the game, but lam inclined
to think he was in pursuit of my poultry. (Laughter.) I thought
he-was fond of a goose. (Renewed laughter.) Defendant was
convicted in the penalty of 20s. and -costs, which the solicitor
said should be paid.—Essex Herald.
SQUATTERS.—The first species of settlers, or cultivators, is
what we call squatters. These are poor citizens, generally not
very industrious, who, not possessing the means of buying
lands, live upon those of others, and work them until they are
expelled by the proprietors. Their poverty is entirely the'fruit
of their idle and drunken habits, for those among them who are
industrious.never fait to make a fortune. There are, however,
many of them who, although industrious, and with the means
of rapidly augmenting their substance, pursue this- sort of life
from choice, from taste, and perhaps, even from habit. For
the most part, they have a wife and children, some negroes,
and, sometimes, very numerous flocks. They rarely raise two
crops from the same land; on the contrary, they quit a district
as soon as it becomes peopled. Under their hands the country
soon assumes a new. relieve : every seven or eight miles rise up
huts, formed from the trunks' of Iron is too dear for
them to permit themselves the use of it; weed, therefore, sup-
plies its
.place, even for hinges and locks.. One of these huts
may easily be constructed in two or three days; one may see
them spring up like mushrooms. More than once, when on
horseback in the woods, in search of my horses or strayed oxen, I
have met, in the very midstof the forest, a cart loaded with house.
hold furniture and children, and one or two men escorting
about thirty cows had hogs. After
.the questions, where do
you come from ? where are you going? which are always cor-
dially answered, the head orthe tarniiy has asked me some de-
tails relative .to the country, and requested me to (Elect him to
the creek, or the nearest spring. A week after I have been
astonished to see a good hut there., a fic.d of cattle, and some
poultry i the wife spinning cotton, the husband destroying trees
by making a circular incision in them, called a girdle : iu short,
settling. their household gods without making any iuquily as to
whom the land belonged. Frequently also, I have semi them,
after a few days' sojourneabandou their dwelling for the slightest
cause, and transport themselves—God knows where. Among
these first settlers, of whom some are destined to make large for-
tunes, whilst others continue always wandering, there exists no
form of government; every dispute is amicably terminated by
the fist. As they live out of the United States, they have nei-
ther election nor politics; the land or the houses have, in their
eyes, but a secondary value ; they attach the idea of. property
only to the cattle: each of these has its mark, and, if any are
stolen, he assembles his neighbours, and, the plods in hand,
they go together to the thief; and administer to hum a punish-
ment more or less severe. According to their morality, cow-
stealiug is the greatest crime : no laws yet exist; and, in the
meantime, the population increases in a way to make Mr. Mal-
thus and his friends tremble for the consequencesea-Muraes
United States, 2d edition.
ANECDOTE OF DR. PARR.—" Many able friends of Dr. Parr
have described his peculiarities, and that apparent disregard to
etiquette, which he ivhinesically practised to attract notice ; but
there was in his character a fund of good nature, which often
called forth feelings at once of regard and kindly ridicule that
few could relish more than himself. On the evening that I
dined with him at Lord Blessington's he had his pipe brought
in, as usual, after dinner; and the servants, not being accus-
tomed to such a ceremony in the house, had neglected to pro-
vide him with a basin. 'r he doctor, kowever, merely noticing
the omission, rose, and going to the sideboard, which was gor-
geously ornamented with gold and silver vessels, brought away
a golden chalice, and placing it at his feet, found, till a basin
was brought, that it answered the purpose equally well."—Aute-
biography el John Galt.
PECULATION IN THE DUBLIN POST-OFFICE.—We have heard
with extreme regret that a gentleman most respectably con-
nected, and occupying a station of great responsibility in the
Post-office, has been charged with peculation to a large amount.
An investigation bas, we understand, been instituted some days
since, and We have learned that it was thought necessary to
hold the gentleman to bail—but we forbear giving a more mi-
nute detail of this much-to-be4egretted transaction, and hope
that the individual alluded to may yet be able to repel the im-
putation thus cast on his hitherto unblemished character. The
circumstance will, at all events, lead to some changes in the
Post-office, and we trust that, in any arrangement it may be
thought advisable to make, a necessary precaution will be taken
to guard against a recurrence of the abilses practised in the office

A COUNTRY EeccrioN.—lt is in the country places that an
election should be seen. The clay. arrives. For some months
previous the candidates and their friends have been in motion,
taking their calls from habitation to habitation, trying to per-
suade, accuse, explain. &c. In general, the friends take more
trouble than the candidates themselves. The governor, by pro-
clamation, fixes the day, and divides the country into precincts,
in each of which he chooses a central house, and appoints three
election judges. These three dignitaries of a day meet on the
morning, and, swear, kissing the Bible, to conduct themselves
with integrity, &c. They seat themselves round a table at a
window. An old cigar-box, duly patched up, With a hole in the
lid, a sheet of paper, and a writing-desk, form the 'materials of
the establishment. Every one presents himself outside of the,
window, gives his name, which is registered upon the. paper,
deposits his ballot in a box presented to hirn, and withdraws ;
if fhe judges doubt his qualification as to residence or age, they
administer an oath to him. Within the room every thing passes
in an orderly manner, but it is not the same outside. The wood
is soon filled with horses and carts. The electors arrive in troops,
laughing and singing, often half tipsy since the morning, and
exciting one another to support their favourite candidate. They
or their friends present themselves to the electors a; they arrive,
with ballots ready prepared, often printed, and expose them-
selves to their Jokes and coarseness. Every new comer is
questioned about his vote, and is received with applause or hisses.
An influential man presents himself to vote, declares. his opinion
and his reasons in a short speech; the tumult ceases for a mo-
ment, and he draws away mapy people after him; nobody
offers to molest him. In the meantime the whisky circulates ;
towards evening every body is more or less tipsy; and it
is not often that the sovereign people abdicate their power with-
out is general battle, in which nobody
knows what be is about,
and in which ad those who have managed to retain their carriage
take good care not to embroil themselves. Every one goes
house to sleep. The judges scrutinize the suffrages, and send the
result to the capital. The next day beater and heat are as good
friends as if nothing had happened, for every one has learned,
from his childhood, to submit to a majority. Flee popsdi vo.v Dci
is here an absolute axiom. It should be observed, that the pub-
lic interest does not suffer from these tumults, because, generally,
every one has made up his mind long before voting, and holds
to it, drunk or sober. The excitement of an election is very
soon over. Before it takes place nothing else is talked of ; the
next day there is no more question about it thanabout the Great
