Yesterday tho Assoeiati Presbytexy of Loiailon held a meeting at Mil? -lane Chapel, Cannon-street. The Rev. Mil. tAw described to the Presbytery the re- ception which he experienced on Sunday week, when he went, by order of the Synod of Edinburgh, to preach at Albion Chapel. Ile proceeded to the chapel, accompanied by some of the elders of Miles's-lane congregation, and passed through one of the outer doors of she building. Somne men were posted within the door to oppose his pro- gress; thbse, however, the elders 'who accomparnied him pushed aside, and he advanced to a place called the pass or stairs, 'where he found seven men placed, who refused to admit him into the pulpit, and asked him by what autho- rity he came there? He read to them the order of the Clerk of the Synod of Edinburgh; but the men still re- fused to let him pass, and he retired.-This report was ap- proved. Mr. LAW then proposed that Mr. Fletcher should be de- pesedg Anotiher member (Mr. Broadfoot, we believe) con- sidered this too harsli a proceeding, and moved, as an amendment, that a committee should be appointed to wait on Mr. Fletcher, to-get from him signs of genuine repent- ance for his past conduct.-The amendment was agreed to. AMr. TIAssut presented a petition froTm the elders and qleacons of Well-street Chapel, complaining that the speech delivered to the Synod at Edinburgh by M!r. Kircaldy, the delegate from Miles's.lane chapel, contained misrepresenta- tions, and praying -hat the said speech might be taken ilto consideration. After sorme conversation, the petition was withdrawn, on account of some informality whichi attached to it. A Lady, a member of Well-street congregation, present- eda etitson,sgnplaning that the London delegates had stated to the Synod at Edinburgh, that influence had been em77ployed to procure signatures to the petition 'which had been presented by the members of Well-street Chapel, in favour f Mr. Fletcher. No influence had been used to obtain her signature, and from her own observation she believed that no influence 'was em7ployed to procure the signature of any other person. The reading of this petition was followed by some marks of approbation frora the auditory. One of the members of the Presbytery entreated that this might not, be repeated. Neither ruglng (clappinr) nor expressions of applause shouldt be heard at the meetings of the Presb,xy. Mr. Lvzsl1observed, that Mr. Kircaldy would, 'when the proper tim rrived, give an answer to the charges 'which had been brought against him. Mr. KIRCALDY made a similar remark. The petition was theR received, and the meeting ad- journed. MR FLETCHER.

LAW REPORT. ? oe oI) bOUHANCELLOA determined thmt tmere 3na t- e -,Sn- other qxaminptin of the pedtioner, before his Lords.hipoiald fen- ture upon a decision. EO)Y V. Ro2y. In this caseof appeal, a bill had. been filed for wastCin cuting anid-seling timber, by the owner of the first estate of inheritance against tenant forlife whose children also artotke ine life.estate in the freehold. e thethjiut The bill prayed an account, a render of profits, and the value of the timber ctt during-30 years past. The answer pleaded the Statute of Limitations, and referred the petitioner to his-legal remedy. The amended bill sought, in the alternativev, the profits or produce of the waste during the six last years, wvhich eonfessedly would not come within the statute: the barring of the inberitor's claim by tha statute was opposed by the distinctions aillowed in the cares. The matter fell, for the pTesentsi ito a ouertion, whrther the bill should follow, in Its analogies, the r dy given in action of tort or that glven by action of atsurnpsiM; and the Compint ot theplatiffin ppeal was, that the defendant bad sought nore bv his bill than'any remedy hetould by any posibility hIve obeainei in either of these actions. Mir. HEALD and Mr. SWANSTO0 TWere for the appeal: r. HAIT and lVr. KOE supported the original bill The LonD CIWAWC3LLOR, in postponirng the judgment, ob- served, that there was no doubt that timber cut by tenant for lifet, impeaebable for waste, would devolve on the reversdoner i% fee (M r. Seanston had informoed the Curt that the tenant in feeozdy couJt bring the action, which was nspi the power of anyone of theinter. mediatex takers) bt reason of iteverance from the freehold. Itwas also true, as it hal been asserted, that the inclination of the ourt was very reluctant as to calling for aniccomr, except for purp^t or injunction. But the jtrisdiction being once Posessed of the queg. tion, was freqsentlv led to presribe z remedy without putting the plaintiff to the additional trouble of seeklng it in a court ; nd it so doing, the Court would of coarse take notice of what was the practice in common law, in regard to the Statate of LLi"I tations, when plealed in bar of a dormant claim; and, as they all very well knewv, that practice admitted very slight Lirc,mson=c in removing the bar so pleaded. He wacs not Prepared to say but that asssmpzit at law, or a bill anvlogous to amsn, p& fil equity, nmght be had in a case of this Idnd- but titeti the bill boutd cautiously follow the analogies of the action whether tort or as- rumpvit, n the remnedy which it prayed; otberWise it wonld not he a true representation, and the Court might refuse the emmedy which could most suitably have been askevA of it, if prayed fbr und .'v an tr^r>. mA COUMT Or CEANQERY.

IVe spoke yesterday on the multiplicity of projects a-foot; and the day itself on which our remarks appeared, only gave hirth to two. We would wish the public to observe that we are far from recommending that capital should lie dormant, or that the possessors of it should sleepily exist upon its mere legal retunis. lVhat we wish for is, the em- ployment of it in useful speculations-in schemes of manly enterprise. Some impropriety in the conduct of the promoters of new projects ought, at the present moment, to attract atteintion. The public will find, by inspecting the lists, that there are the same Directors to various projects of so similar a nature, that no single scheme can tlhrive but by the decline, and in proportion to the decline, of the other. Surely, on the commencement of a new proJect, the Directors should ad- vertise, as is often the ease with rival shopkeepers, that they have " no concern with the people in the next house ;" otherwise the dealers with them may be betrayed and de- ceived, to a degree of which they have no idea. But the reverse of this is tlhe case at present; it seeming to be a re- commendatior, to the manager of a new concern, that he is already deeply implicated in half a dozen others. Connected with the above is another practice, most dis- honest and dishonourable. A project is set on foot, witlh an air of secrecy; it is whispered about, talked about; people apply for shares, but in vain ; at last the scheme is made public,-then, however, the shares are at a premium of five, fifteen, or even cgh teen per cent. Purehases are made with avidity, the original speculators sell out, and realize pro- perty-shares fall to a discount, and the dupes suffer. WVe denounce these practices as most disgraceful to the parties concerned. They are more wicked than those of the wicked Lottery, of which we rejoiced to anticipate the suppression. WVe advise the public to beware of the many-headled Direc- tors. They can be true to no party.

Saturdav, ttic 6th, being tte nrst anniversary ot the glorious en- try of the King into his capital, when restored to thc free exercise of sovereignty wlhich a disorganizing faction had usuiped, there was a splendid drawing-room at the Palace of Bemposta, where the Gran- .es, the Diplomatic Body, and a vast number of persons of distinc- tion, had thc honour to pay their compliments to lhis Majesty and to kiss his Royal hand; and as the splendour of this menmorable day was heightened by the decrees which the King had just promulgated, s'ho with so much prudence and wisdom guides in such difficult times the helm of Government, all were eager to express their grati- tude to our beloved Monarch, who received every bodywith theicind- cst expressions of satisfaction. The flags were hoisted on all the forts and ships of war, which fired the usual salutes during the course of the day. The city was brilliantly illuminated in the evening, and the joy of all good Portuguese at the publication of the law and decrees issued by his iMajesty cannot be de- scribed: there wiere none of those rude shouts which during the time of the Constitutional Government were raised by a hiredmob,- of those insults with which thev assailed many respectable zitizens, and made them follow the stream : it was the lively pleasure which animates well-d3ispesed hearts, when there is a pleasing hope of im- provernent in the public prosperity, when good order is consolidated, And finally, when measures are taken wehich directly tend, like those we owe to his Majesty, to close the fatal abyss of revolution. WAR OFFICE, Ju.NE 7. A decree in favour of the English officers actually employed in the Portuguese service, declares that it is just thev should enjoy the same advantaces as his illaiesty's laws give to the other officers of his armies. Thosc English officers who passed from the British service into the army of Portugal, and who are to be employed in it, are to be consideced, without any distinctien, according to the re- gulations of the Alvara of the I Ith of December, 1790 : tich time of' their service, resulting fromii their comnissions when they removed from thc British army to that of Portugal, shall be accounted as if' wholly passed in the latter. Those Elnglish officers who remained in the Portuguese service after the close of the war in 1814, are considerec in the same situa. tion in which they now are, till, the time of their service being ve- rified, they may begin to enjoy the advantages which his Mlajesty was pleased to grant them, under the title of Refonn, by his decree of August 6, 1820.

'I'The fishermen of Arklow bave been long remarkable for the perseverance and industry with which they have pursued their hazardous calling, whereby they are euabled to support, in humbile comfort, a numerous and hardy race.

It is stated in the Irish newspapers, that at the sessions under the " Insurrection Act." for the county and city of Limerick, which stand adjourned to the 3d of Janmary. there is-not a single person for trial under that act, in either county or city gaol? In the cotnty or city of Limerick- not one prieoner to be tried under the Insurrection Act! Hear'this, Mr. SAURIt, and ye eaters of beef-steaks, and my Lord CLANCARTY and Co. " Where be your insur. ' rections now?" Where thie rallying point for your Orange xegiments ? Where your prophecies of Pastorini ? Christmas-eve, of the year 1824, was fixed, you know, for the commencement of the famous Popish massacre. The solitary fact, above related, of tranquillity reigning throughout the county of Limerick-the grand focus of re- &liaa hefore Mhr. SURWN wAS dismissed-speaks a lan. guage not to 'oe misunderstoodor perverted. One of the journals mentions a report, that Sir HARCoURT LEES is reserved for a bonne bouche by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL-if Mr. O'C0rNELL should not previously have proved too hard of digestion, and spoiled the Right Honourable Gentleman's stomach. A prosecution of Sir HARCcoURT LEzs carries burlesque upon the face of it: yet if this mncreurial parson should have really found any portion of his countrymen so mueh farther gone astray than himself, as to be actually under the influence of his ravings, a public trial, and a conscientious guardian, appointed by the proper authority to take care of him, may help to keep the honest fanatic from doing or suffering harm. As an addendum to the evidence efrestoreti subordination throughout Munster, we would point out to the attention above all of the Irish Government itself, the speech of that great statesman Sir GEORGE HILL, delivered at Derry, on the Apprentice-boy Anniversary of the shutting of the gates last Saturday ne'nnight. This raan is Vice. Treasurer of Ireland. Verily, the most knowing 'prentice that evar wore apron, or swvept shop, could not have excelled the sage Baronet on that occasion. Of all the topics of alarm that had been rung from Lough Swilly to Cape Clear since 1689, not one, no, nor half a one, save only that of a Popish Pretender, was omitted by the Ring's Vice-Treskurer; bitt to componsate for that one omission, we had the "Popish Parliamant" th6 tremendous " prophecies." Oh, ye Gods! the Pastorini-prophecies from a member of Parliament and of the Government! And this to frighten an Orange mob, and to secure their votes for another election. Why does not Sir GEORGE HILL, too, come upon Ministers with his proposD to raise a No- Popery regiment? " Sure enough" (as his countrymen say), thore is precedent f'or s9 generous an offer. If we were given to blushing, we might change colotur at such dirty sights._
