AIr. TitESLOVE moved for an injunction to restrain the defendant frorm exporting tbree gun-barrels, of.a particular description, which had been entered at the Custom-house, and were to be 8hipped fior Dantsic. The motion was made upon an affidavit of the plaiatiff, wbich stated that he vsas the inventor of an improved gun-barrel, and thfat the King's patent had been granted to him for thati inven. tion, by which the 601e manufacture of all sucl barrels was secured to him. The affidavit further charged, that the defen;Pant had imi, tated the barrels, and had inanufactured several, and had fraudu- lently placed upon them a forgedl copv ot the mark by which Ilr. Il[anton distinguished his own p,uns. Among others, thle plaintifl had discovered that there was at this time a case lying at the fCus. manufacture, which case was consigned by the jefenrdnt to certaiin permons at Dantsic. The injunction of the Court was therefore prayed to res8train the exportation of those barrels, and to prevert the defendant from making any others in imitation of MIr. Manton's patent. 2The YlCE-CEtAnCELLOB said, the injunetion might be taken. The practice of the defendant wras evidently a gross fraud on Alr. D.lanton, and an infrngJement of' his patent, MIr. ' tESLOVZ said, the injunction prayed also that the de- fendant might be restrained from obtaining possession of the barrels at the Custome-house. 'The VICE.CHAXCEI.Yont tbought this sbould be the object of a separate rmotion, and that notice should be given nf it: all the ether parts of the injunction the Court woould grant ge- parte.

To defray the cost of these repairs, the captain raised money on bottonry ; but the sum so raised being found to be inisufficient, she took in a fretght Ibr Lisbon. That freight also turning out to be unequal to the charges inctirred at l.avre, anothier boLtomry.bond was given, and the vessel was despatched back thither, in order to be sold.

Yesterday a Specinl General Court of -this Society-was held:-at the office, for the purpose of considering the 'no- tices of motion given on a former day; the REcoRDni, who is Vice Presidenit, in the chair. The Clerk read the sninutes-of the last Court,iihdalsoin- formed the meeting, from the minutes of tb e Dir-e6tr,'tiat the latter had prepared a report to 'submit to'the Propriem tprs, upon the general affairs of the Society ;Iiut}that toy had no desir to Q iess itupon thie netig, before any other ,discussioni, which. meqinbD m'inight .wish to introduce, and *were also ready to - ' it,* or-anniul it altogether, should *he Proprietors prefer such coutse. ' Mr. SWEET immediatly rose, and' said, that in giving lotice of the motion w-li tood on their listfor this days discussion; he had njo desire to occupy, their attention nnne- cessarilyj; his objeetwas to propose 'that it be referred to the Court of Directors, to considerof the propricty ofremodelling the constitutionof the 8odety, and'placing the newsubscrib. ers upon a footing distinct Itom the old. He was ready either to discuss the propriety of such a motion, or simply to move it, wvithout further comment, if the meeting preferred that course. (Cries of "Move") Mr. Sweet then made his motion for simply referring the subject to the consider_ ation of the Cottrt of Directors. The motion was then duly put, and carried, with only two dissentients. A long discussion then arose upon a motion of Mr. SLADErS, for referring to the Court of Directors the consi- deration of a disputed questioB upon two policies of assur- aiice which had been declared void. The circumstances are these:- Oa the 27th of November, 1821, two policies of assurance, effected by Mr. Samuel Sampson, of ILondon, on his own life, one bearing date in January, 1807, and'the other in January 1812, for the sum of 1,0001. each, were put up for sale by public auction by the assignees of Air. Sampson, and purchased by two gentlemen, wvho paid the premiums of assurance thereon to the present period. On the l1th of September, 1824, the purchasers were in- formed, for the first time, that Mr. Sampson had gone to America; that he had merely gone to New York and Up- per Canada, on busiiess which would probably occupy him there for three or four months; that he was in better health than he had ever been, and that he expected to return in the course of the present month. On receiving this intel- ligence, the holders applied at the Equitable Office to pay the usual per centage on parties leaving Europe; and were informed, as Mr. Sampson had actuallv saill, it would be requisite to make an application to the Directors for per- mission so to do. This application was made, and refused. The matter came in this shape before the Court of Pro- prietors yesterday, and it was resolved (with only two dissen- tients) that the matter be referred back to the Directors, to deal with it accordinig to the justice of the case. Another Extr ar Crt was fixed for the 50th inst. EQUITABLAE ASgURANCE SOCIETY.

Not mmaiy days ago, we cautioiled the piublic against the dirty tricks of Irisli Orange iincendiarics, for the excite, mnelit of a No-Pcprry panic. Here is onc of their arti- flees. A London paper, little known here, but sent,:like other damaged gootls, for sale in a lcss discriminating mnarket, having been duly primed from Dublin, let off the grave apd circumstantial history, that Lord FOztiris a General officer of high ftaniding and repute, had come up from the county of Longford to the Phoenix-park, to represent to tie LORD LIEUTENANT, that thfe Pro- testants of his Lordship's vicinity were in a most pe- rilous condition, and the country on the point of openl rebellion. The Orange chxronicle added, that a Privv Council "'liad sat to a very late hour the night lie- fore, to concert the measures necessary to meet the ap. "proaching cris_s '" and that a proclamation was. then actually (ahnost three weeks ago) " printing," the purpose of whiclh was, to put down the Catholic Association. Now, to show how carefutly the web of wicked'nonsense was. prepared, we know that for somne days before the above statemrent made its appearance, tite Dublin alarmists were boasting every where, that Lord FoRs Es had joined the OrKange party, and that his eyes were at last effectually opened to the da6ger which threatened the Governmrent. This report (and no wonder) made a sharp sensation, from the known. character of Lord FonuEs for firmness, libe- rality,.and good sense. Well-the best of the story is, that Lord FORBES never came to Dublin at all-never made any representation to the LOaD LIEUTENANT as to the danger to be feared from the Catholics: andl so far from having joined the Orange faction, holds them in utter antipathy. His Lordship wrote to the Dublin Evening Mail to disavow the gross falsehood, which was likewise contradicted in the Dublin Evening Post of the 7th instant. So industriously, however, has thc poison been administered, that it is still in partial circulatian at this side of the water,which induces us to take thus miich trouble to- wards exposing it. We may add, by vay of commentary on the prevailingdisposition tofrighten people out of theirsenses bv monstrous tgles of disalfection and conspiraoy through- out Ireldnid, that 1lard-Chaicellor MANNERS, reputedb to be of an.-Oraiij spidit -Anost as highly rectified as that of Mr. SAURIN himself,.hap just gone down to a succession of shooting Rarties, andriisted1 his pereon in the midst of the very districts alleged 4't5emost ripe for rebellion ! His Lordship mustjtherefoie, be well convinced thattheCatholic peasantry-ire the most forgiving Christians or the most impotent enemies on cayth;-a good argument why ie should not hate them: in the onie case, nor fear them greatly in the other,-why Lord Chancellor MANNE aS, at least, cannot be sincerely, both an alarmist and an Orangeman.

It appears by the Frenchl papers of Saturday last, ex- tracts from which we subjoin, that a kind of official decla- ration: has been given at Paris, that thc first dividend upon what is called the Royal, or Royalty Loan of Spain, is to be paid at Paris. We believe there is a mystification in this transaction, of which it is, perhaps, not worth the whilot to attempt the elucidatiotn: but it will be recollected, that Tihis Royalty Loan, whoever may be the holdlers of it, was contracted subsequently to that loan so much of which is bondfide in the hands of British subjects, and for the payment of the dividend due upon wlhich no funds have been transmitte(d to this country. (From the Eloile, dated Sunday, MVIay 9.) "PARIS, iMIAY 8.

[We ilLSert this letter for the purpose of awakening the London managers to a sense of the merits of a perfotmer so spoken of; but this must be the last letter we can publi.sl.] Sir,-By inserting the following in your next number, you will much oblige Yoar constant reader. AN ADAIIRER OF THE DRAdlA. IIndon, June 4. oir. Aent, or wnose tame provinciat report nas spoxen s9 soavOur- ably, appeared at the Woolwich theatre, on lVednesday evening, in the arduous character of Richard the Third. He undertook this performanec for the purpose of affordirg his London friends an op- portluity to judge of his histriQnic talents, and althougb evidently suffering from a cold, displayed powers of voice adequate to the fill- ingthe largest metropolitan-theatre. The character requiresintease ex- ertion, both mental and physical, from the firstscene whcrein Riduazd appears until the curtain drops ; and it was sustained throughout with unabated energy. M.Ir. Kent has studied his author diligently, treads the stage with a firm and graceful step; his face is capable of great varitty of expression; his action combines animation with strength, and his general style of acting quite free from mannerism. That his personation of the crook-backed" tyrant was without faults, cannot of course be affirmed * but even thoSe, few and trifling as they were eomparetl with his merits would scarcely be percepti- ble in a larger theatre. Taken as a wLole, it was a decidedly suc. cessful ef}ort, ar.d affords a rational nresumption that this gentleman will, at no distant period, attain dle higheat rank in his profession.
