Noir, if the breeding of gotid Horses was en-

BUTTER TRADE.

CHAMBER OP COMMERCE OF THE CORPORATION OF

DUBLIN.
The Chamber of Commerce, anal the Corporation,
have had several interviews, regarding certain regula-
tions necessary to be adopted in the Butter market.—
The Corporation insisted that they should have the
appointment of Craners, Sse.; anal that their patron-
ago should remain untouched. This, they said em-
phatically was their sine 9na non ; but in the same
breath they talked of leaving the question open to
discussion. Now, the very question under discussion
it the sine Qua non. We imagine that the Chamber
of Commerce will not renew their interviews upon
this subject with the Corporation. ,The statement
will, no doubt, be laid before the Commissioners of
Inquiry ; and, on their report, some ;egislative ar-
rangements will be adopted. It is {nil time that this
matter should be arranged. The trade, and the public
demand it imperatively. Their interests should not
be sacrificed to the patronage of the. Corporation ; and
'we feel confident they will nut.—(Dublin lifergatik

13ARRAUR AND WHARF/AM lei TUE POUT OP DUBLIN.
This cause so important to the mercantile body,
wherein Lord Henry Seymour Conway, was plaintiff,
anal Mr. Peter Brophy, defendant, to ascertain the
right of the former to certain fees, claimed by him
as patentee craner and wharfinger, is likely to be de-
cided in the. Court of King's Bench on to-morrow, the
20hia inst. that dry being specially fixed by the
Judges to hear the further a►guments of one Counsel•
on each side, and to pronunce the decision of the
Court. The plaintiff's case will be argued, we under-
stand, by Mr. Ooold, and the defendant's by Mr.
O'Connell ; from the well-known abilities and talents
of these able Lawyers, no doubt, much curious matter
will be elicited respecting the origin, not only of the
Office in question, but of the early history of the Cus-
toms laws of the country, to which their researches
must necessarily extend. •
As far as the matter has yet gone, it bat been ad-
' mined, that the plaintiff, if entitled to claim any fees,
n bleb is the question for the Court to describing, tan
only demand those existing about )SO years since, bat
which his modern practice of collection had, in some
instances, trebled.
We hope in our next to be able to give a Report of
the proceedings, and the decision of the Judges.—

SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters from Rio de Janeiro to the 29th September,
received by way of Jersey, contain the following intel-
ligence
" We learnt some days ag• that General San Martin
had entered Lima at the point of the bayonet. and that
the scarcity of provisions hod previously become so great
within the city. that Anterkan floor sold at ore husdred
and twenty dollars the barrel. This news is confirmed
by letters from Buenos Ayres brought by the sloop
&ousel. in 14 days from thatplace. where it waerught

sloop and the Beaver brig of war have arrived, le rein-
force the squadron on this station. It appears that the
news from Lima will prevent the Aurora frigate from
doubling Cape Horn, and that the voyage batb of that
vessel and of the Alacrity has been countermanded. The
Morgiana will retain immediately to her cruise off the
coast of Africa.

'
The French frigate Antigone has been in our
port fur some time past. where she is aspreting the
arrival of two other frigates of 80 gnus each. built on
the new model.

" This Government is putting under repair the ship
of the line Vasco de Gams, for the conveyance of some
families to Portugal. She appears to be even in a worse
condition than. La Rainba, which sailed from hence
about a mouth ago.
We enjoy here a free press, and Dew printing esta-
blishments are forming. Our laws are the same as those
made by the Cortes. The Prince Regent watches with
care over their administration. One of the Judges who
lately permitted an arrest without previously signing the
warrant and subjecting the witnesses to an examination
has been cashiered, and all the influence and interces-
sions of his family have not been sufficient to obtain his
pardon from the Prince.
" The environs of the city are infested by bands of
robbers, mayor whom, thanks to the activity of the mili-
tary, have been arrested, but nevertheless the propri-
etors of estates find it necessary in many planes to keep
guard by nit: sc. The persons apprehended are whites.
" The Back has given notice of a sale of diamonds!
