HISLOP V. KNIGHT. This was an aflion to recover I£ I18 from the defendant, a. calico- printer, under the following circumstances. In May, 1810, the plaintiff bought a quantity of calico of the det'end^ n^ amounting to several thousand pounds in value^ r. The goods were shipped for Madeira, and there sold by the plaintiff's agent to a person named Jackson. Some time after, it was stated to the plaintiff, that part of the goods were damaged; and in his settlement with Jackson, he allowed a sum of j£ 118 for the damaged goods; and to recover that yiTn the pre- sent aelion was brought.— It appear ® ], however, that a very considerable quantity of this descrip- tion of goods had been taken out, and a difficulty arose in identifying the damaged goods, as being part of those sent out by the defendant.— Several persons were called, but none of them could speak positive as to their being part of those sent out by the defendant. Lord Elienborough, in his ;. ddress to the Jury, observed, he did not think the identity of the goods had been made out. He also adverted to the length of time which had elapsed since the good* were sold— no notice having been given to the defendant of the alleged damage till about a month before the aftion was brought. It was therefore a question, whether the plaintiff had not delayed till he had lost his opportunity of bring- ing his a< 5tion at all. He would, however, leave that question, as well as that of the identity of the goods, with the Jury. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdiiS for the " defendant. SATURDAY, JAN. 11. THACKARAH V. ELACKITT. This was an action to recover the amount of two Bills of Exchange, the one for £ 1833, Is. and the other for £ 1386,18x. drawn by the present de- fendant, and accepted by Messrs. Preston, of Too- ley- street, London, who had since been obliged to stop payment. It appeared that the defendant was Agent for Messrs. Preston, on whom he had been in the use of drawing blank acceptances, and in this way the bills in question were drawn, and bough they were only accommodation bills, yet they had passed to the plaintiff for a valuable con- sideration. The Messrs. . Prestons had prevailed on the plaintiffs to give cash for them, on engaging that they would, within a fortnight, re- discount them. This they f^ ik'J to do, and before the bills became due, tb- IVestons stopped payment, when t'ae plaintiffs applied to ha » e th; bills handed over to them, but they had been destroyed by mis. take along with some other bills drawn by Mr. Blackett upon the Prestons, which hud not been used. The plaintiff therefore applied to the de- fendants to give him other bills in the place of those which had been destroyed through mistake, offering to indemnify the defendant for any claim that might be made. With this the defendant re- fused to comply ; and it appeared, that though an application had been made for other bills in the room of those accidentally destroyed, no notice of the non- payment of them when they became due, had been given to the drawer, the defendant, which Lord Ellenborougb held to be as necessary as if the bills had still been in existence.— It was then urged that the bills were mere accommodation bills j but it appearing that the defendant was the agent for Messrs. Preston, and, that at the time of drawing the bills in question, the balance of the account was in favour of the defendant, Lord Ellenborough was of opinion that the bills could not be esteemed as mere accommodation bills; and, though one of the two bills might be suffi- cient to exhaust any then existing balance in the defendant's favour, his Lordship did not see how he could separate the one from the other. He was the more inclined to this opinion, not wishing that the rule as to notice of the dishonour of a bill, which, in his Lordship's judgment should, as far as possible, be given in every case, ought to be in any degree relaxed. At the sartie time, the plaintiff should be at liberty to move the Court, if he thought he could establish any distinction between the one bill in question and the other. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. THE SAME V. THE SAME. This was an action on the case, by which the same plaintiff sought to recover from the same defendant a compensation in damages, for his having failed to comply with the. injunctions of the A< 51 of Parliament, in granting to the plaintiff other bills in place of those which had been de- stroyed.— Mr. Topping argued, that the words of the Aft of Parliament, " lost or miscarried," did not cover this case, wheie the bills were aftually destroyed.— Lord Elienborough thought the ac- tion, at all events, premature, till it should be determined, wiiether the bills, if aftually in ex- istence, could have availed the plaintiff.— Mr* Parke and Mr. Topping, for the defendant, con- serued that a Juror should be withdrawn, and that the case should stand over. ALIENS ( CIRCULAR ) MURDERS DISCOVERED, " Murder most foul-, as in the best it is, " But this most foul, base, and uunaturaI About eighteen years ago, a Mr. Carter, shop- keeper, of Crarfield, in Suffolk, and his daughtef were murdered there by some persons then un- known. Within these few days a discovery has been made by a female ( who laid at the poiat of death), to the Rev. Arch leacon Oidershaw. It appears, that the son of Mr. Carter emploved three men to commit the bloody deed, at the price of ten pounds ea ? h. They met on Shotover- heath, near Harleston, to concert the diabolical plan The son met them the night after and paid 20 pounds to the two persons who perpetrated the aft ; the other ( a man of the name of Head) an accessary, has also confessed and made a comolete disclosure. One Thrower, who resided at Wort- well, near Harleston, has been apprehended. It appears by the confession of Head, that about the time of the murder, he returned from transporta- tion, and met Thrower, and a person called Black William, alias Smith, a travelling tinker or gip- sey, who requested his ( Head's) company to join i them to commit the murder. Head went with \ them, and saw Gipsey Will kill Mr. Carter with 1 an axe; and Thrower murdered the girl with a 1 hammer, which was afterwards thrown into the i river at Bo'lrn- bridge. Head has lived at Car- i brooke, near Watton, ever since, and some money being left to him, his wife, who lives fear Karle- ! ston, applied to receive it, and was told she could j not, unless she couid prove her husband's death, j She said, she had heard he had lived at C^ r- brook£, but knew no further. Upon this, strift i search was made after Head, in consequem e of the information given by the female above- men- tioned, respecting the affiir, and he was found there by the constables. When in custody, he was told that Thrower had made a confession- Head immediately said, " what, have you been I to Swaffham for him ?" Upon their answering t in the affirmative, he added, " then I will confess the whole." Thrower was soon after apprehend- ed. On Wednesday, Win. Smith, who has tra- velled the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk for more than 20 years as a . tinker, with his wife who tells fortunes, was apprehended at Bacton, by Mr; Everett and his two sons, of Caister, near Yar- mouth. Edmund Thrower and John Head are commit- ted to Ipswich gaol, by J. Kerrich, Esq. Carter, who employed the murderers, has been dead some years. We understand that it was Carter's widow, who is now dangerously ill, that first imparted the cir- cumstances of this horrid deed, which was com- mitted in 1793, and affords another proof— " That Murder, though it have no tongue, will speak " With most miraculous organ !" ;( Norfolk Chron.

DEATH OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE of Buc- CLEU « H.— On the 11th instant, at Dalkeith Pa- lace, his Grace, Henry Scott, Duke of Buccleuch aad Queensberry, Marquis of Dumfries- shire, Ear) of Dalkeith, Sanquhar, and Drumlanrig, Viscount Nith, Torthowald and Ross, Lord Scott of Esk- dale, D uglas of Kiomount, Middlebie, and Dor- nock : Also Earl cf Doncasti\ and Lord Tyne- dale in England, Knight of the Garter, Lord Lieutenant of the counties of Edinburgh and Rox- burghshire, Governor of the Royal Bank of Scot- land, & c.— Hi; Grace was born in 1716, and suc- ceeded his grandfather in 1752.— He was the only son of Francis, Earl of Dalkeith, by Lady Caro- line Campbell, eldest daughter of John, the Great Duke . of Argyle. In l^ GT, his Grace married Elizabeth Montagu, only daughter of the late Duke of Montagu, by whom he has issue, Char- les William, now Duke of Buccleuch and Queens- berry, and Henry James, Lord Montagu, and four daughters; viz. the Countess of CourtoWn, Countess of Home, Marchioness of Queensberry, and Countess of Ancram ; all of whom have fa- mil cs. His Grace is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Charles William, Earl of Dal- keith, who married Harriet, daughter of the late Viscount Sidney, and has several children. His. Grace succeeded at an eariy age to a prince- ly fortune, which gave hirft the means of indulg- ing his natural disposition to public spirit and pri- vate liberality, to which purposes, accordiuglj-, a considerable part of his immense funds were known to be applied. He was exceedingly affable in his manners, and what deserves to be recorded of a person so greatly exalted both in rank and fortune, was generally accessible to the poor. As a landlord, his liberality was well known ; h' wa? easy of access, and always ready to take an active part in any sc! sc? r,.. of b- aetfolesce- ini hunrumry • MISCELLANEOUS. ' We would not, needlessly, alarm oiir leaders^ but it is incumbent on lis to apprise them that a gang of desperadoes is supposed to bo in the neigh* bourhood of Plymouth. On Wednesday night the family of Captain Sonrerville, in George- street, was alarmed by some cries in the room* vhere the Captain's s ew. ird slept, which were attributed by Mrs. S. to his being in a fir, td which compl '. int he is frequently subject. It ap* pears, however, that in the middle of the ttichr, the steward was awakeried by the pressure of a cold hand upon his face, which being rather sapt- - stiti'ius, he ascribed to a supernaturalcarise ; on questioning the supposed ghost, the application of the hand was so forcibly repeated, as to con- vince the steward that it was no airy phantom which disturbed his repose, but real iiesh ami blood. Recovering from his consternation, be instantly sprung at his unknown assailant, and n severe contest ensued between them, in which the steward received many violent blows. The scuf* fle was soon put an end to by the approach of Captiin Sornerrille, at which the robber immedi- ately quitted his antagonist, arid darted through the passage and street door, with the greatest precipitation.-^- He was Vigorously pursued by Captain S. and his steward, who were al- nost in purii naturalibus, but in vain, though the robSer ir « his flight, was so hard pushed as to drop a great coat and a pair of boots, » hich he vhad taken from the passage.-^- At this crime- fraught er> When intelligence of midnight robbery and assas- sination distresses Our ears in almost every d' » rection, the propriety of art active police musn speak home to tile senses cf every man, and we entertaift sanguine hopes that the suggestions of the patriotic author of an address will receive all that attention to which he i5 entitled.— At a inet f- tng held at Plymouth on the 29th' ult. an associi ation, patronised by Lord Bcringdon, f m.- ed for defraying the ex pence s of apprehending and prosecuting persons guilt;' of feHv. es ar. i thefts on the persons or properties of x'Ao inhabi- tants of that parish. Such associations cannot be praised too highly,, arid we trust t'i, <• they will be generally adopted throughout the coir. u try Plymouth Telegraph.

ELFAST COMM ER 11 au CHRONICLE. jgggHeteasEH PARI,! \ MENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS— JANUARY, 14. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved th. it the Speaker do communicate to Lord Minto, Sir Samuel Auchmuty, Admiral Bertie, tand the other military and naval officers and men, he Thanks of the House, voted a few nights since for their h'ghly meritorious conduct in the capture T> f Java. Ordered accordingly. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved for the usual returns and estimates respecting revenues and charges of the Civil List; and also the estimates for the arrangement of his Majesty's Household at Windsor for one year. The sugar export Bill was committed, and order- ed to be reported to- morrow. Mr. G. PONSONBY gave notice, in the ab- sence of a Noble Friend of his, one of the Mem- bers for Yorkshire ( Lord Milton) that that Noble Lord would, on Monday se'nnight, submit to the House a question on the subject of the present State of Ireland. t The CHAN, of the EXCHEQUER wished the Hon. Member to be a little more explicit to the House as to the particular object of the mo- tion, if he was aware of its nature. Mr. PONSONBY explained that the motion • would relate generally to the existing state. of Ireland, and more especially to that of a Catho- lic population. DISTILLERIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for resolving into a Com- mittee, upon the Distillery Afls— Resolved ac- cordingly. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose to call the attention of the Committee lo the subject of which he gave notice last night, pamelv, the necessity pf suspending for a time the Distillation from Corn, owing to the high price of that article, in consequence of a failure in the comparative plenty of last year's crop compared with the former year. After the repeated discus- rions this subjeft had undergone in the last and preceding Sessions of Parliament, he felt it unne- cessary to enter into a long detail, as the argu- ments on that subjeft, heretofore urged on both sides of the House, must be fresh in every one's memory. He adverted to the arrangement made last Sessions for facilitating to the Distillers a fair np ion between the consumption of sugar and grain, consistently with that preponderance which should always operate in favour of home agricul- ture, when no necessity like the present existed. Ir was found, however, from the inquiries made by G" vrnment in every quarter of the country, respeflins* the state of the harvest and the prices of p- rain. and the communications they had re- ceived, that the pr'ce of grain was so unusually high, and. so little likely to be lowered at this pe- jiod " f'he season, bv anv importation from abroad, that Government must deem it a matter of expe- tiiency, if not of absolute necessity, to put a stop to the distillation from grain for a time, in order that as rt. iirh of the produce of the harvest as pos- sible-, should be left for human food, and to pre- vent. bv every practicable means, such a retrench- ment of the provisions of the country as must be extremely distressing to the great mass of the ,,..„ p! e : this he thought would be the soonest and • i n -' t eftVflually done. by the stoppage of the dis- ion from gfain, a measure which could be ur< , nive of no possible injury to the cultivator, >}.> nee of corn was not thereby likely to ex- [. ,.<•<•. any very considerable fall from its pre- 5 i, i? h rate. In otder, however, to make up : r.. which the revenue might sustain, it had V •• Hrwght necessary to rar- e the Rxcise Duties upon Sn" at Wash, and in order to give the Home T) istiller every preference in his own market, he • : nded to propose an additional duty upon all Foreign Spirits imported, except those of oui Co- ' ontes; indeed the imports of Foreign Brandies were, at present very much reduced, but there was no knowfntr how soon that import might increase; and considering the enormous profits of late de- rived by the importers, he thought that an addi- tional duty of 12J per cent, would be but a trifling deduflinn from their very high profits. He did not propose to stop the Grain Distill, ry m Ire- land, but as the Briti'h Distiller would now be excluded that advantage, he thought it but rea- sonable to prohibit the importation of Irish Spirits int Great Britain during the suspension. Mr. DAVIES GIDDY said a few words utterly in- 8 MK'PONSONBY rose, not to oppose the ar- rangement, but to notice a very remarkable cir- enmsunce, namely, a growing disposition in this countrv, both in and out of Parliament, to depart from lb - ancient usage of the Constitution, by which Parliament was in a great degree super- seded in its funitions; for not only on this im- portant subjefl in which the agriculture and the people of the country were so deeply interested, bur in the regulation of almost every other branch of trade or commerce, it was customary for the parties interested not to appeal to Parliament by tition or otherwise, where their interests could properly discussed, and their grievances re medied, but to apply in the first instance to the Ministers of Government, and to settle by antici- pation whatever regulation should or should not be afterwards adopted by Pat lament, as if it was tlie privilege or business of Ministers to diflate • what Parliament should or should not do. He should have thought it the duty of Ministers to have sooner assembled the Parliament, and let the people petition them for the necessary regula- tions. „ ', , , Mr. PERCEVAL answered, that the measure in question was one of the most obvious necessity, that to have convened Parliament at an unusual time would have only excited alarm, and aggra- , ted ti e very mischief it was intended to pre- namety, an excessive rise on the price of j „ ran, besides, if Parliament had been assembled, ' it could not have sooner effected the purpose than bv measure BOW proposed. Parliament not being be • a VI III bv measuic f- y - , silting, the parties concerned naturally applied to . Government as the only ostensible source for re- , medial measures. It was necessaty Distillers should have timely notice towoik up the mate- which they had bought and prepared, and that ihey should not be ItU lo purchase up large ( famines of corn for the season, when it was in JwHcuH- UkUoa w ptuUibk that Distillery. The measure of relief to the public in consequence of the notice, would be in operation a month sooner than it could have been by the mode proposed by the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. PONSONBV replied in support of his first argument. Mr. ROSE supported the Chancellor! of the Exchequer, and said that incalculable mischiefs might aiise from the early calling of Parliament, and the consequent alarm to the country. It was in every recent experience that the letter of the Secretary of State which had gone forth on a si- milar subjeft, had immediately produced a most enormous rise on the price of corn. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proceeded to move a string of regulations, which he gave in writing to the Chairman. They were for regulating the Excise Duties on sugar wash in England and Scotland; and they imposed an ad- ditional duty ok Is. 8d- per gallon on every gal- lon of sugar- wash, and \ 2\ percent, additional on all foreign spirits imported. THE KING. REPORT rtOM THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO EXAMINE THE PBJSlCIANJ WHO HAVE ATTENDED HIS MAJESTY '• DURING HIS 1LLN> SS; TOUCHING THE STAT it OF HIS MAJESTY'S HEALLH. Ordered by the House of Commons, to be printed, 1 Jan. 1812. The Seleft Committee appointed to examine the Physicians who have attended his Majesty's health, since the examination of his Majesty's Phy- sicians before a Committee of this House in the last Sessions of Parliament, and to report such ex- amination to House— have, pursuant to the Order of the House, examined the Physicians, accord- ingly ; which examination is as follows :— VENERIS, 10" DIE JANUARU, 1812. The Right Hon. CHARLES LONG in the Chair. DOCTOR MATTHEW BAILLIE, CALLED IN, AND EX- AMINED. Q. Is the state of his Majesty's health such as to render him incapable of coming to his Parlia- ment in person, or of attending to any kind of public business ?— A. The state of his Majesty's health is such as render him incapable of corning to Parliament, or of attending to public business. What is the state of his Majesty's bodily health ? — His Majesty's bodily health, when I left him on Monday last, and generally of late, has been but little disordered. What is ( he present state of his Majesty's men- tal health ?— The errors of his Majesty's mind seem to be as strongly impressed upon it as dur- ing any part of his illness; but his Majesty has within the last few weeks been able to relate anec- dotes more disHnfily than for two or three months before that period. Adverting to the state of his Majesty's bodily and mental health since you was last examined before a Committee of this House, are you now of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is probable, or improbable?— I think that his Majesty's reco- very is highly improbable. Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is hopeless?— I cannot state that his Majesty's re- covery is altogether without hope, but I think it still extremely improbable. On what do you ground your opinion, that his Majesty's recovery is highly improbable ?— I think his Majesty's recovery is highly improbable, be cause his illness has Continued for many months; and his mental health is in a considerably worse state than it was eight or ten months ago, because his Majesty is considerably advanced in life, and because his Majesty's present indisposition has as- sumed a more determined form than in any of bis former illnesses. • Has his Majesty's pfe- ent degree of mental in- firmity taken place gradually, oi suddenly ?— The present degree of his Majesty's mental infirmity may be said to have laken place rather suddenly; he was in a much better state of mental health towards the end of Jnne; early in July his mind was impressed with all the errors which have con- tinued since. Have you ever known an instance of any per- son, exaflly circumstanced as his Majesty now is, in point of mental health, recovering ?— My ex- perience, in complaints of this general class, is very limited : I have not known any case resem- bling very exaflly, in all its features, that of his Majesty. The only person that I have known, about his Majesty's time of life, whose mental health was deranged, did not recover. At the time of the sudden change, from better to worse, in his Majesty's mental health in the month of July, was his bodily health ' much im- j paired, and was his life in danger ?— I cannot re- • collect the minute circumstances attending the j derangement of his bodily health at that exaiS • period j but the general impres ion which remains ! on my mind is, that his bodily health was not ; worse at that time, than it has been through the j general course of his indisposition. Were the paroxysms of mental disorder at thas ; time such and so violent, or are they so new, at during their continuance to bring his Majesty's life into danger from their effefl ?— In some of the most violent paroxysms of his Majesty's com- plaint, he may perhaps be said to have been in some hazard, but it never appeared to me to be considerable; with regard to the present state of his disorder, I believe that his life is in no hazard whatever. Can you state how long Cgo it is since you formed an opinion that his Majesty's recovery was improbable ?— I begSn to be less confident about his Majesty's recovery, at the time of the Report of July ; in the beginning of Oflober I thought his Majesty's recovery very improbable _ and now my opinion with respeff to the improba* bility of his Majesty's recovery is rather strength- ened than weakened. " N" In your opinion, are his Majesty's faculties of perception and memory impaired in any material degree ?— His Majesty's perception and, apprehen- sion seem to me to be as acute at present as dur- ing any period of his indisposition ; his memory seems to be impaired, but in a very inconsiderable degree.— Withdrew. DR. WILLIAM HEBERDFN CALLED IN, AND IX- AMIN ED. Is the state of his Majesty's health such as to i render him incapable of coming in person to his si Failiamcot, or of attending to any public busi- ness ?— It is such as to render him incapable of coming in person to his Parliament, or of attend- ing to any public business. What is the present state of his Majesty's bo lily health ?— It is very little removed from his Majesty's natural state of health. What is the present state of his Majesty's men- tal health ?— His Majesty's state of mind is very much disordered. Adverting to the state of his Majesty's mental and bodil* health since your last examination be- fore a Corfimittee of the House of C immons, ate you pow of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is probable or improbable ?— Improbable. In what degree do you consider it as improba- ble?— It is highly improbable, but not in an ex- treme degree. Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is hopeless ?— No. Is it your opinion that the prospeft of his Ma- jesty's recovery is all but hopeless ?— No. His Majesty,, from the middle of July last till about the second week of December, appeared to me to be more uniformly disordered in his mind than he has been since that period ; had the same degree of diso; der still continued, I might perhaps consi- der his Majesty's condition as almost hopeless, but the subsequent improvement, slight as it has been, makes me think altogether more favourably of the termination, In what has that slight improvement consisted ? It consists in a greater pawer of conversation, and in having laid aside some erroneous notions with which his Majesty had been before possessed. Is it to be understood that his Majesty's mind is not as much impressed with the errors wh: ch had possession of it before, ai he was in the mid- dle of the month of July last?— The errors to which I allude, had grown up in his Majesty's mind between the middle of July and the end of August ; from the second week in December, his Majesty's mind has appeared to me to be clearer, and freer from eri or than it had been in the latter part of August. Do the errors which existed in his Majeity's mind belore the middle of July last,. still continue • to exist in the same degree that they did formerly ? — The'errors and general character of his Majes ty's disorder since the middle of July, have ap- peared to me altogether different from what they were in anv previous part of His Majesty's illness ; and though some ideas m^ y still regain, which possessed his Majesty's mind early in his disorder, the greater part of them have grown up since the middle of July. You are understood to say, that those errors that have possessed the mind of the King, between the middle of July and the second week in De- cember, were quite distin< 3 from those that had possessed it previously to the middle of July i— Yes. And you are understoo 1 to say, that" those er- rors were removed, or very much diminished at least ?—. Some of them have been removed. S ate whether the errors which possessed his Majesty's mind before the middle of July, still continue to pos. ess it ?— I beiieve I must go into some history of his Majesty's complaint, from as long ago a. February last, to the end of April. His Majesty had appeared to U, getting materially better in the months of April, May, and June, there was very little of the disorder exhibited ; early in July thee seemed to be a fresh.' accession of disorder, so distinft in it* charailcr, from his Majesty's previous state, that I : ook upon it as in- deed a new complaint. Did the old complaint con'imieto subsist along with the new complaint; or when the new com- plaint manifested itself in the mind, di. l the old complaint seem to be extinguished ?— When the new complaint arose early in July, though his Majesty was not well from his former disorder, yet I am not conscious that there were any par- ticular errors that at that time rested upon his mind. Do any of the errors that possessed his Ma- jesty's mind before the middle of last July, now possess it ?— His Majesty's mind is still possessed with the same sort of false reasoning ; but I am not aware that for some time previous to the com- mencemsnt of the present disorder in July, there were any false fails upon his Majesty's mind. Then the error of his Majesty's mind, as you are understood to state, previous to July, was merely that of false reasoning ; are you to be un- derstood that that was the sole error of- his Ma- jesty's mind, previous to that?— I think for two or three months previous to July, that had been the state of his Majesty's mind. Does that propensity of the mind still continue? • Yes. Did that f. ise' reasoning extend itself to many subjetfts, or did it confine itseli" to a few ?— It was principally confined to a few ; but there w.- re many subjefls upon which his Majesty's judg- ment could not be trusted. Does his Majesty's mind continue to be engag ed upon those particular subjects, on which you say it was principally engaged at that period ? — Yes. When his Majesty's mind runs upon those subjefls, on which you say it was principally en- gaged, is it subjefl now to the same false reason- ing it was then ?— Yes, You have said, that you consider his Majesty's recovery as highly improbable ; have yu ever known any person circumstanced in mental. health i as the King is now circumstanced, and of the same age as his Majesty, recover from an illness such as his Majesty's ?— I never knew any person under the same circumstances" of disorder and age as his Majesty. How Ion* have you been of opinion that his Majesty's recovery was highly improbable ?— Perhaps from the latter end of Aug.— Withdrew. Bit. JOHN WILLIS CALLED IN AND EXAMINED. Is the state of his Majesty's health such as to render him incapable of coming in person to his Parliament, or ot attending to any kind of public business ?— His Majesty is incapable of doing either. What is the present state of his Majesty's bo- dily health ?— His Majesty's bodily health I have thought somewhat improved since I saw his Ma- jesty first, which was the 9th of October; but not within the last week. What is the present state of his Majesty's men. tal health i— There is a very gr^ at degree of de. rangement, and particularly bordering on insan- | ity, having very much the symptoms of insanity; at the same time rather unusually and occasion- ally with delirious characters. Adverting to the state of his Majesty's mental and bodily health during his present indisposition, as far as it has come under your observation, are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is pro- bable or improbable ?— Very improbable. Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is hopeless ?— No, certainly not hopeless. On what do you found y. ur opinion, that his Majesty's recovery is not hopeless ?— I think it has not arrived at that fixed point, at which cases generally are hopeless; it has not so decidedly that fixed character of insanity to render it hope- less. Do you expect that his Majesty will recover ? — No; I do not expect that his Majesty will re- cover. When did you leave Windsor?— This morning. What was his M ijesty's state at the time you left Windsor ?— A very indifferent state. Is it worse than it was last week ?— Yes ; I think it is certainly worse than it was last week. Has there been any aggravation of symptoms within the last three days ?— J think there has ; they have bordered more on the symptoms of delirium, perhaps not to a greater degree than I have seen since the 9th of October last, but, as compared with ten days or a fortnight before, there was then a better appearance. From the 9th of October to the 23d November, I saw his Majesty only three days. How often do you visit his Majesty now?— I have been resident at Windsor ever since the 18th of November, with the interval of last week; I returned on Saturday. There appears, in a Report presented to the House of Commons from her Majesty's Council, to have been the correction of an opinion given by one of the Physicians in his first examination ; were you the Physician who so corrected your opinion ?—- I was. Were there any grounds upon which you could form a different opinion from that which you gave in your first Examination, before the second took place ?— I do not know, with regard to my own feelings, that I formed a different opinion; but I found that I had not used a word with its proper import, being perhaps in the habit of using the wOrd despair in- a more light manner than I ought to have been : I did not mean that I did despair totally; but one is perhaps apt, when speaking to the friends of a person who ask whether' they shall remain longer or not, or whether you despair, to say, I conceive a person may recover, but I can- not be without despair, or I cannot help despair- ing ; but on hearing read the words I had used, " I cannot help despairing," with an emphasis laid upon them, I was s ruck with them as con- veying a meaning much stronger than I intend- ed. I had not been in the habit of attending the Queen's Council. Did you mean more by saying you despaired of the recovery, than that you dM not expect a recovery ?-— No, I did not. You attended the King on former illness ? Yes Is his mental stale worse now than occurred at any time during those previous illnesses when you saw his Maje- ty ?—- Very considerably worse than I had seen his Majesty before. You stated that you were called in on the 9th of October ; has your attendance upon his Ma- jesty been pretty constant since, that time ?— From the 9th of October I saw the King only to the 12th of October, and was called in again on the 18th of November ; since which I have attended his Majesty regularly. Since your attendance became pretty constant, have you ever witnessed any thing approaching to a lucid interval in his Majesty's case?— I have> seen several times in which the King could hold conversation extremely well for a short'time, but his Majesty was always liable ta the disor- der pressing upon the mind again at any moment. The King has held certainly good conversations. Do those conversations appear to you to be of a favourable tendency ?— Certainly one cannot help having a hope from hearing those conversa- tions, but it requires to get to a further advanc- ed point to be able to say that it is really an amend- ment ; it is often what takes place when derange- ment is gradually ceasing. Then the derangement of the King's mind is not such as to leave you without hope at any mo ment ?— It had yesterday much of a feverish ten- dency ; it was more difficult to interrupt the King from the influence of disorder on his mind but there is generally a capacity in the King to an- swer any sort of questions. Since your attendance upon his Majesty, has there, in your judgment, been any appearance of progressive improvement ?— I can hardly so well call it progressive improvement, as occasional; there were many days on which there was a great degree of quiet, that has taken place at different times since ti; e 23d of November. Is your opinion upon the probability of his Ma- jesty's recovery as strong now as it was on the 9th of O( Sober ?— It is. Do you consider his Majesty's disorder, in ge- neral, nearest allied to delirium or insanity?— For the most part, during the greatest part of the time I have seen his Majesty in his present indis- position, it has been nearest allied to insanity.— Withdrew. DR. ROBERT DARLING WILLIS CALLED IN, AND EX- AMINED. Is the state of his Majesty's health such as to render him incapable of coming in person to his Parliament, or of attending to any kind of public business ?— His Majesty's state is not such as to en- able him to come to his Parliament, or to attend to any kind of public business. What is the present state of his Majesty's bodi- ly health ?— The present state of hi' Majesty bo- dily health is by no means good, though it may be considered, generally speaking, better than un- der the circumstances of want of air ar. d exercise might have been expedieil,. This morning, his Majesty is. in an extremely agitated and nervtms state, which has been increasing for some tune past. What is the present slate of his Majesty's men- tal health ?— The Maie of his Majewy's htalth is worse at piesent than it has JBeeft at any time since his atuck. Adverting to the state of his Majesty's mental health since your las: examination before a Com- mittee of the House of Commons, are you now of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is. probable or improbable ?— Extremely improbable. Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is hopeless ?— I do not think it impossible ; but I really hardly know how to apply the word hope- less in a medical sense, it is only applicable' to a state somewhere between extreme improbability and impossibility, but that is a state which is so extremely difficult to ascertain, and in the greaser number of instances will be as transient, that t hardly know how to apply the words. I do npt think it impossible, but it is in my opinion all bat impossible. When did you first form y^ ur opinion that h s Majesty's recovery was extremely improbable ?—- I began to have a very indifferent opinion of his Majesty's state, soon after the beginning of the paroxysm in July; and as. the symptoms have nsver given wa y in any respetf, my hopes have con- tinu ally decreased. Is there any thing peculiar in the aggravated symptoms which have shewn themselves within the last three days ?—. Nothing peculiar ; nothing that we have not; seen in several aggravated states before. Are the symptoms themselves more aggravat- ed than they have b » en at any previous time ?—. No; I have seen his Majesty in the same state several times. Are the symptoms which have appeared with- in the last three days, such as to endanger his Majesty's life ?— In any other individual i think they would; but I have so repeatedly seen the King in the same state, and have seen them give way afterwards, that I can hardly say that I con- sider his Majesty's life as in danger from those symptoms. Referring to the answer given'to the third ques- tion, respecting the state of his Majesty's mental health, did you mean to convey to the Committee that his Majesty's mental health is now worse than it was after the paroxysm came on in July ? — I think it is. Do you mean to confine your answer to that question, merely to appearances within the last three days ?— No ; nothing has taken place within the last few days to increase the mental symptom1. The mental symptoms have regularly incieased since July ; they have never diminished. Has there been no abatement of symptoms, at times, since the beginning of December ?— No abatement of ihe essential sy mptoms.— Withdrew. DR. SIR HENRY HALFORD, BART. CALLED IN AND EXAMINED. Is the state of His Majesty's health such as to render him incapable of coming in person to his Parliament; or of attending to any kind of pub- lic business ?— It is such as so render him incapa- ble- of coming to bis Parliament, or of attending to any kin ckif public business. What is the present state of His Majesty's bo- dily health ?— Not good, by any mean;. What is the present state of hi-, tlnu il- eal health ?— Extremely disordered. Adverting to the King's bodily and m<- nt< i health, since your last examination before a Committee of the house of Commons, are you now 0 f opinion that his M'jesty's recovery is probable or improbable ?— improbabl*. In what degree do you consider it as improba- bie ?— Very improbable. Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovesy is hopeless ?— No. On what do you found the opinion, that his Majesty's recovery is not hopeless, though v « iy improbable ?— It is very improbable, from the character of his present symptoms ; ftom the do- ration of th » disorder, and from his Majesty's advanced period of life ; but above all, from the influenceof his Majesty's peculiar situation and circumstances, upon his irritable constitution : But his Majesty's faculties of perception and me- mory are not impaired. When did yon first form an opinion that the recovery of his Majesty was very improbable ?—- In the beginning of Joly last I thought i' in"- probable; and the continuance ot his symptoms since that time has made it very improbable, in my opinion. Do you expert that hW Majesty will recover ?— 1 do not espeft that he will recover. Is his Majesty in a state to converse upon pub- lic affairs 1— Certainly not. Has there bi en any period since your last exa- mination, when his Majesty's life has appeared in imminent danger ? — No. Is there any such dartger existing now?— I think there was not when I left Windsor on Saturday ; but I have reason to thivk that within the last t . ur and twenty hours the King has not been so wi ll. Had any fresh secession of disorder taken place before you left Windsor on Saturday, or lrid ynj reason to apprehend that it was coming on ?— his Majesty was under circumstances to make one ra- ther suspeil that it was coming o::, than thas it had established itself. i Could you ascribe the aggravation of the symp- toms that were coming on, to any particular cau.- e? — No. Have you observed any signs of amendment in his Majesty since the beginning of December ? — There have been several occasions on which the violence of } iis Majesty's disorder appeared to be so far abated, and his mind seemed so far cleared up, as to admit of his detailing anecdotes of past i times accurately, but not to exercise a sound judgment on present circumstances. Since the beginning of December, has his Ma, ' esty shewn generally more disposition to conver- saiionl— His Majesty has frequently shewn him- self rather more capable of conversation. Has his Majesty, in any of those conversatt. ns to which you have referred, adverted to the cir- cumstances of his own situation ?— Yes. liy watching the tutn of his Majesty's thought, and the remarkable energy of his expressions, it is ob- vious tnat his mind has been deeply stricken by the supercession of his authority. I think it is important to state this, because it has a gru'Ur weight in determining ihe opinion which i have formed as to the great improbability of lis Ma- jesty's recovery, than the psirticula. sympteiJH u!

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AND MURDER.— Yester- day evt ii'iiiji, about nine o'clock, the shop of Mr. Pryor, boot and shoe- maker, No. 71, High- street, ] > iot) gh, was entered by two thieves, with crape I river llieit faces, The servant happening to come up stairs at the moment they were packing up the '; property, gave ' he alarm, when she was instantly f . seized by one of them, who endeavoured to pre- J vent her noise by placing his hand over her mouth, i The sire^ t door being opef., she struggled to reach 1 it in order to prevent their escape until the fami- ly, who were up stairs, could come to her assist- ance. She had nearly accomplished her purpose, j when she was struck bv the other villain a violent ' How on the head. Being deprived of their booty i by the girl's resolution, and finding the family •. a roady alirmed, one of them immediately cut j tne poor girl's throat with a knife. In the confu- sion which occur: ed in consequence of the girl's J jituation, we are sorry to say the robbers escaped. , Great hopes are, however, entertained of their , apprehension, as she can swear to ihe person of i one of them. The girl, we are happy to add, is 1 not considered in any danger, the wound being j about an inch in length, but not deep. BELFAST SHIP NEWS.

BELFAST, Monday, January 20, 1812. - London Papers to the 14: h inclusive, have arriv- . ed— This day's Mail still due. One of the most interesting articles in the last Papers is the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons appointed'to examine the Physicians in attendance upon the King. In a preceding column we insert the greater part cf this document, by which our Readers will be enabled to see the opinions of the Physicians on the present state of his MAJESTY'S health, and on the probability ol his recovery. A Mail from Lisbon has arrived, but it fur- nishes little intelligence of interest or importance. The head- qiarters continued at Freynada, and no movement of any consequence had taken place i in the Allied Army, the posture of which, was [ becoming every day more formidable in point of I numbers, and resources of evfcry description. The English Army, was, it is said, in the best health | and spirits. | We have received a number of American Pa. per% principally from New- York, but not of later dates than those we have before noticed. They qr'ive an account of a dreadful storm in lat. 41. from the log- book of the Spartan, which vessel appears to have been saved by the intrepidity of her crew, some of whom volunleered to go aloft to lower the sails, at a time when tifis service was so dangerous as to allow the Captain to issue no commkod for that purpose. We do not find that any of them fell a saciifice to their intrepidity. The occasion of Mr. Lancaster's visit to Dub- lin is stated to have thus arisen :—" There is an immense establishment at Channel- row, in Dub- lin, where all paupers are received, and those who enter voluntarily may rem. li' 1 as long or as short a time as they please; others are seized in the streets and compelled; yet this does not preveru mendicity throughout the city. In ihe House of Industry at Channel- row, there are some hundreds of children fed and clothed. Mr. Pole, who fre- quently visits all the pri ons and all the hospitals, inspected ihis' place, and the condition of those children. Having heard, of Mr. Lancast r's sys- torn, he wrote to him, desiring he would send to Dnb'in one of his assistants, well instructed in his method of teaching, to teach these children. Mr. Lancaster appeared himself, informed Mr. Pole that he was come to set forward the business at Chj-: r. e!- row ; that he also intended to give public Lectures on Education; and requested the Lord Lieutenant's and Secretary's support to his system. Mr. Pole is said to have answered, that he had not written for Mr. Lancaster, but for an assistant; and that, as to his system, he was to expecl no encouragement from the Lord Lieute- nant or Mr, Pole." In the Consistorial Court, on Tuesday last, the Right Hon. Patrick Duigenan sat for dispatch of business ; and heard the cause, instituted by John Blachford, Esq. for the dissolution of his marriage with his late wife, for adultery with Wm. Digg'.: s Latouche, Esq. when the Learned Judge pro. nounced the usual sentence of divorce. The Treasurer of the Belfast Charitable S iciety acknowledges to have received the Sum of Three Pounds Eight Shillings and Threepence sterling, from two Gentlemen of this Town, which they received for holding a Survey on Sugar. We are enabled to mention, that Adam Hun- ter, Esq. of Ballvmagarry, long the faithful Agent of the Antrim Family, charges no discount what- ever, on payment of rent. Messrs. Moore and Hamilton Echlin, A'tornevs, have removed their Office from No. 16', Ann- street, to No 70, Mill- street, Belfast, where their business will be conduced in future by Hamilton Echlin— Mr. Heary Waterson having been dis- continued in their employment. Belfast, January 2, No. 76, Mill- street, 1S12. HENRY WATERSON, agreeable to notice given i by him to Moore and Hamilton Echlin, Attornies, ' in June last, has, several months ago, withdrawn himself from the management of their business in Belfast.— His Office is, as usual, at his H>' Use, No. .58, Ann- street. Januarv 14. 1812. LONDON, Wednesday, January 15. A Proclamation from the, Prince Recent,' in the Gazette of last night, appoints Wednesday, the 5th day of February next, as a ' lay of general fast in those parts of the United Empire called England and Ireland, " That ' he Prince and his Majesty's people may humble themselves before Almighty God, to obtain pardon of our sins, and in the most devout and solemn manner send up prayers and Mipplications to the Divine Majesty for averting those heavy judgments which our manifold provo- cations have most justly deserved, and for im- ploriny his blessing and assistance on his Majesty's arms for the restoration of peace and prosperity to his Majesty and his dominions;" and the Archbishops ani Bishops are ordered to compose * foim of prayer suitable to the occasion. Another Proclamation appoints Thursday, the 6th day of February, as a day of general fast for Scotland. Thonrrh no. official or positive advices have Tieen received of peace having been concluded be- tween Russia and the Porte, it is so generally be- lieved in the Ci: v that Preliminaries have been signed, thats'ime of the most respe& able Houses arf a fling in the confidence of that event having taken place. It is also very generally expected, that our commerce with the Baltic next ' e. ison will be free from the obstructions and embai rass- men s which have of late cramped it. Colonial prodiite 1' is, in consequence, experienced a. con- siderable rise, coffee having of late advanced full 12r, per cwt. ; and yesterday sugar had a further lise of Is. per cwt. The orJers from the Baltic for these articles to be shipped in the Spring are very extensive. Other commercial speculations are 4ilv> spoken of as promising favourably. j The Adventure, Jackson, from Liverpool to St. j Kitts, was taken on the 21st November by two ; French frigates, bound from the East- Indies to j Brest. We trust that this is the only capture by ' the above vessels which we shall have to receive. It is rumoured that the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer and Mr. Ryder do not agree in opinion as to the propri^. v of enforcing payment of the in- come tax from military men. The Irish Militia Officers in tills country claim exemption, on the ground that they were not liable to it in Ireland, • while those of the English Militia, in that country, h ive it deducted from the issues of their pay here. ! TV Chancellor of the Exchequer is of opinion, ! that the officers should be relieved from this oner, eus burden altogether, in which Mr. Ryder, it is said, does not concur. Sunday se'nni'.- ht, a melancholy accident hap- pened to one Smith, a gardener of Porchest- r :— j He had been drinking at Cosham, and on his re- I turn home, a little beyond Paulsgrove, mistook j his road, and walked into the mud, and being | unable to extricate himself, the tide, on its rise, flow d over him. He was not found li! l Tues day roorrnnf, when, fin some persons going to- • wartls him, with mud pattens, they found, from the appearance o: the mud around him, that he j had ma- ie '. neat exertions to extricate himself, j and in following his tracks, it seems he h td j many times ne ired the shore, but from the dark- i ness cf the night, and btting unable to distinguish I whether he was right or wrong, had again re- turned and walked still farther towards the tide. II The largest emerald which has ever been seen | lias lately been imported from the East Indies ; | j it was one of the most valuable stones of Tippoo j| fiaib's crown. It is of an extraordinary size, and ! its weight is supposed to exceed considerably 506 j gr tins. Monday, the long- expected union between I Miss Tylney Long and Mr. W, Pole, Jun. took j place— i union which, before its solemnization, j created more fashionable conversation and con- J jeeture, than any marriage project for many |> year? past. The preparations, made for honour- !! ing tl event with thjit distinction which it de- jj manded. were of the most splendid and costly If description imaginable. No accounts have ret reached the Admiralty of the St. George or Defence— they are now quite despaired « . f.

Si*.— It is with real concern I observe, that the savrtge and barbarous diversion of COCK FIGHT- IRTG, still continues to receive the countenance and support of a certain class of the community; it is how ver, I believe, now chiefly confined to the lowest dregs of the people. A set of these un- principled vere'ehes assembled oil Saturday last, in ! the vicinity of Queen- street, in this town, for the i purpose of enjoying one of those scenes of torture, j which are at once a disgrace to humanity and a l reproach to the country. During the contest, a \ dispute arose respecting a wager, suspended on ' the death of one of the noble creatures, the unfor- tunate viflim of this ctoel sport, when one of the savages atfual'. y threatened to appe il to a Magis* trate to settle the point in dispute ! Is it possible S. r, that these vagabonds can be so ignorant, as to Mjppose, that the taws of the country', and the Magisterial anthority, whiph are established for the preserva lnn of peace and good order in so- cie'y, are to be degraded into the infamous em- ployment of settling their lawless wagers ? Indeed, J. trust there is not a Magistrate in this county, who would net on such an appeal, commit both the parties to the Stocks or House of Correction, as his du* y would unquestionably call upon him to Jo. Ev- ry assembly of this kind is properly a riot, and . s such the members composing it are p; tni? hable by the wholesome laws of the British Eni- ire: and when we consider the multitude of crin.:. s, which are uniformly associated with this m. w cruel and disgrac nil diversion, among which we may enumerate— idleness, dissipation of pro. r . rty, lie?, blasphemy, imprecations, assaults, bar- barobs unJ wwton abuse of the animal creation, tind'in short, a manifest contempt of all laws, ho- rn? n or divine ; assuredly, everytf'iend to the gvrjd order of society, to humanity, or to religion, roust feel the highest indignation, as well as the severest pain of mind, at seeing the continuation of this species of amusement in a civilized country, and v. i let st'ch laws, as the British Empire so justly glorias in.

To til EDITOR of the BELFAST CHRONICLE Sr*— On a tour lound the north- east coast of ti e county Antrim, passing through Ballycastle S'- me d vy's ago, I observed a bustle about the door of the principal public- house; inquiring the j cause, I wa; informed that two privates of the Derry M liti. t were billetted upon the house, that althon^ li the landlord offered as much biilet- mn- riry as some other shop- keepers had paid, the men : would not tak<* less than the highest which had been paid in town : rather than be at so much exoence, the landlord got a clean room and bed ready, and offered to open a fire- place, and put a sufficient lock on the room door; this'the msn peiemptorily refused, and forcibly took possession! of the room off the shop, uje4 as an qipes. Next morning 1 inquired how the affair ended, asd was told that the men slept in the office, hav- ing a considerable property in the shop completely at their command. I was at the same time toid, that otherwise the party quartered there are well- feehave I men. Considering that the suhjeCl supports the soldier, and that the soldier fights the battles of his coun- try, I am disposed to be equally a friend to both; but must confess, that I consider the subject, in the ca^ e I hate mentioned, to say the best of it, net • well treiied ; 20 or 30 men billetted for a length of time, on the inhabitants of such a place as Bal- lycastle, makes the suppoit of the P. ate fall par- tial upon them, which could be easily obviated by having a house for a temporary barrack. I am, Sir, your humble servant, A Traveller. too much to say, that, for a century, a more nu- merous and splendid assemblage has not been wit- nessed in this city— Citizens and country Gentle- men, high in commerce, property, chara& er andj talents, crowded from all quarters, and without any distinction whatever, in compliance with the great summons of their country. Not only the streets but the very parapets and house- tops, to the rear of the place of meeting, Were filled by an anxious people—^ nxious not solely for the cause of the Catholic, but for the cause and safety of all— of the Country, of the Constitution, and of the first Charters of Freemen.— Great as was the anxiety, the assemblage, and the cause, the most perfeCl decorum, dignity, and harmony governed every feeling, prevaded every mind, ar. d gave ut- terance to every sentiment. It was a heart- cheer- ing spectacle— a glorious day, indeed ! A brave, loyal, and virtuous people, assembled in thousands — afluated by one heart and soul— merging all directions in the great and common interest of country— c: nfronting and confounding thsir libel- lers— discussing, supporting, and establishing their invaded rights, with the wisdom of Sages, the calmness of Philosophers, and the intrepidity of Heroes! ! We have neither space or time to be- stow on this grand event all the proud reflexion and just tncomitim it so eminently demands ; but, in the fulness of candour and sincerity we must j say, that our Protestant countrymen and fellow- citizens have, on this occasion, beamed new lus- tre on the liberality and sound patriotism of the Protestants, of Ireland. The sentiments delivered by that truly noble man, Lord Glenworth, are exactly such, as we did expect from the purity of his heart, his manly decision, ana promising LIMERICK. MEETING OR 1 HI CATHOLICS OT THE EIL'T ANB'eotTNTT or LtMEKICK, AND F1UENDS 01 HELIClOUS FREEDOM. LIMHRICK, JAN. 8.- R- ON Monday last, the Cat ih lie and the Friends of Religious Freedom me- at the Commercial- buildings, in pursuance of a public requisition. About twelve i/ clock, the *. « ' « » » » and avenues leading to this spacious and Hi; *' b edifice,' wite so thickly occt'pted by ntttn. b,' s jespcflability and rank, of nil persuasions, t . t, ovi tiirf opening of the looms, seats were ob- uiavd wuli much liijficuhj. We believe it is not career in the pursuit of independence. The neat, chastened, and energetic speech of Mr. Biuce does honour to the head and heart of that eaiiy advo- cate, unaltered friend, and intrepid champion of Catholic rights. Several other Protestant Gentle- men of high rank attended for the purpose of de- livering their sentiments; but the lateness of the hour, brought on by protrafted discussion, pre- vented them— of this numerous class, was Col. Burke, the pupil and friend of that illustrous Statesman and Patriot Edmond Burke. A cir- cumstance occurs to us, which we must draw from the obscurity of silence— becaue it was silence that spoke volumes. While Mr. Howiey, jun. was appealing to the heart, and arguing to the under- standing, in a strain of pure and native eloquence, not unbecoming the brightest examples of antient or modern time— the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, Pro- testant ReCtor of *, was so overpowered by the noble sympathies congenial to him, and so strongly excited by the irresistible appeal of the orator, that tears became the sole utterance of his overcharged breast ! This is the silence which speaks ' trumpet- tongucd'— it is the impetuous language of the heart! ! About one o'clock, th^ cries of ' Chair, chair, and Mr. Howiey,' having been loudly repeated from all parts of the Hou^ e, this Gentleman was unanimously voted in, and took the Chair ac- cordingly. Mr. Howiey opened the business of the Meet- ing by reading the requisition for convening it. The following Resolutions, proposed by Wil- liam Roche, Esq. of the Bank of Thomas and William Roche, seconded by Francis Mahony, Esq. and supported by John Howiey, jun. Esq. whose speeches we regret our limits will not per- mit us to insert, wete carried unanimously :— Resolved, That we whose ancestors so eminently distin- guished themselves in defence of their religion and liberties, and who scaied with their blood a capitulation which was most perfidiously violated, view with emotions of the utmost indignation th<; intemperate spirit of progressive intolerance that a< 51ti. ite the Administration of this country, in dispers- ing the General Committee of ' lie Roman Catholics of Ire- laud, assembled ill Dublin, on the ' 2 » 1 day of December last, Jor the sole, legiil, aud constitutional purpn . e of preparing an humble Petition to both Houses of the legislature, add- ing by this adl of aggression ,• s now and exasperating griev- ance to those already so l^ jtg and so patiently endured by the Roman Corholits ol Ireland. Resolved, That regarding our country with the affeCtion of Irishmen, possessed of hearts whose every feeling hangs upon its interests, we cannot behold, without the strongest sensations of alarm, the adoption of measures calculated, at a . moment when that country is beset with all the dangers of implacable hostility, to paral- ze the energies of the peo- ple, and to lessen the security of the empire. Resolved, That at this perilous crisis, when not even that shield of public right, the Trial by Jury, can shelter cs from oppression ; and when the strongest bulwark of the Consti- tution has been invaded, we look fwrward to the moment wheu the restrictions which have been imposed upon that ilustrioili personage, the Prince, Regent, shall cease, fur a redress of those grievances that would tend to alienate our affections, Ware thty not so strongly cttnefited to the in- tei e& ts < a the Throne by au unbroktu series of loyalty and allegiance*. . , Kesotved, That confiding the management of our Petition ro the G rterol Committee of the Catholics of Ireland, and concurring with them m every seutjmept, we fi- el the mast ardent and lively gratitude ;<? our numerous and highly re- spectable Pfotestatit relluw- subje& s, whose admired talents have shed a lustre tin the cause of religious liberty, and whose i; . lightened liberality we are anxious to have engrav- en on the hearts of our children, as the best memorial. of mutual confidences as well as the surest bond of union and national defence; and we most firmly rely upon their zeal- ous and continued co- operjition in the g.- ea; work of estab- lishing the civil and religious freedom of our country. Resolved, That we deem the Right of Petition one of the first principles of our Great Charter, and the most invaluable blessing of Civil Liberty; and that any violation thereof, is a breach of the Bill of Rights, which most and ought to be resisted, not only by Catholics and Irishmen, bur by all those who derive and claim in inheritance under our glorious Con- stituted. Resolved, That the Earl of Harrington is most justly en- titled to the gratitude of Irishmen, ai well for his condufi as a Genera! Officer, as for'his liberal and conciliatory Orders, so charat51 eristic of the true spirit of the Statesman and of the Soldier, winhint; to annex the Olive as an honourable appen- dage to the Sword of the Hero. Resolved, That we never can • ufficierrtly express what we feel towards that highly revered and distinguished Noble- man the Larl of Fingall, for his wise, firm, and digniSed de- meanour, which, while it promotes the cbjecSt of Religious Freedom, essentially contributes to conciliate the esteem, and to secute the affedtion ol his countrymen. Proposed by Mr. Howiey, jun. and seconded by Mr. W. Roche— That the warmest Thanks of the meeting are eminently due, and are hereby given to Lord Viscount Glentworth, and G. E. Bruce, Esq. for their truly liberal and eloquent observations this day, and to our other Protest. int and Dis- senting Brethren, who so numerously honoured this meeting with their presence. Several other able and eloquent speeches were made, amopg which those of Loid Glemwurth, J George Evans Bruce, Esq. produced the very j itrong impressions so particularly noticed in the 1 excellent paper ( The Limerick Evening PuitJ, from . wiiicu we extract these particulars. Lord Glentworth, as a Protestant, rose to answer the call that was made upon him, which he was peculiarly happy to obsy.—( Ap- plause.)— Since he was capable of perception he had but one opinion upon the Catholic Question, and that opinion led him to give it his decided and unqualified support ( Loud applause.)— He had now little in his power, but if he should ever have the honour of a seat in Parliament, his Ca- tholic countrymen should have irt him, if not an efficient, at feast an ardent and zealous advocate. —( Cheering.) He was determined to follow the footsteps of the late Lord Pery, his respected ances. tor—( Loud cheering.) He had no right to tresspass upon the time of the meeting.—( Cries of Go on, go on !)— Pie was unspeakably happy to meet his conntrymen, aind not only his countrymen but his fellow- citizens, on such an occasion as the pre- sent—( Hear, hear!)— If it wera not indecorous, he should himself have been the instrument of calling them together—( Applause.)— He had not any thing more to add, but he could not sit down without expressing his satisfaction at the order and harmony which were so observable around; this would secure admiration and respect even from the enemies of the Catholics of Ireland ( His Lordship sat do4en amidst { reals of rpplause that continued for some minutes.) Mr. G. E. Bruce ' I did hope that I should not feel the necessity of troubling this respectable j meeting with any observation of mine. Twenty years have passed, since I had the honour of ad- vocating the cause of Religious Toleration ; and, at that time, I had the presumption to say— that the force of bigotry, however strong, or the mo- nopolizing spirit ot Government, however inte- rested, could not smother, till this day, the wis- dom the policy, and the justice of granting to the Roman Catholics of this kingdom the full ex- tent of political righ. s—( Loud cheering from all parts of the house.)— At this moment, I should feel myself an useless intruder to support a pro- positi > n, so ably maintained by yourselves— I rose merely to return my thanks as a Protestant, included in your Resolutions— and to assure you of my humble opinion, that no Government can resist, with effect, the Petition of a great and res- pectable body of Loyal Men, asking only for their rights, in a peaceable and constitutional manner— and such, I think the conduct of your body has been.'—( Great and long continued apblause). This numerous and respectable meeting, says The , Limerick Evening Post, adjourned at four o'clock. Never did we behold the proceedings of so immese an assembly carried on with greater temper, order, and unanimity ; it was a scene which could not be contemplated without convey. [ ing to the heart those sensations which ever must ' be present to that philanthropic mind that loves its country, and rejoices in the union of all sects of the children of Ireland. ENNISKILLEN QUARTER- SESSIONS. TUESDAY, J AM. 14, 1812. The King, at the Prnxerutuir of Michael Cassidy and » th: rs, against Rolen l'allis and others. In this case, Bilit- of Indiclment were found against upwards of 100 persons, for a riot and assault, at Derry^ onnel'. y, in the couuty of Fer- managh, on the 10th of July, 1811. > Mr. Kernan, as Counsel for the Catholics, moved that the trials in this case, for the riot and assault, should be postponed till the next Quarter- Session « . He said he grounded his motion to the Court on the affidavit of Thomas Burke, which stated, that informations of several persons had been taken by H. Leslie, Esq. a Magistrate of the county Fer- managh, charging, that a person of the name of ; Denis Murvournagh had been murdered at Derrv- I gor. nelly, on the 10th of July last, by one of the | party of those very rioters, against whom Bills of ! Indifiment were now found for a common assault. , I He said, the riots sought to be now tried at the | Quarter- Sessious ( by way of set- oft' to a higher ' offence) were so conneflsd with the ciime of ho- micide, as ts. constitute, in his opinion, the offence of murder, which the Court were incompetent to try. It was not necessary for him to inform so enlightened a Bench of Magistrates as h? had then the honour of addressing, that, in the offence of murder, there were no accessaries; that, in point of law, all persons aiding and assisting, were prin- cipals in the second degree. He thought it would be a monstrous perversion of justice, if, in this in- stance, the greatest crime that man was capable of committing, was suffered to merge into the ve- nial offence of a common assault; and for these reasons, he entertained no doubt, that their WOT. » Vps would see th'.' necessity of postponing the trial, until a Cot. rt of competent jurisdiflion had disposed of that lor the murder of Denis Mur- vournagh. Mr. Rolestone, in reply, said, that as to whether the Court would proceed on the trials or not, was matter for their own sound discretion, on inspec-' tion of the judicial document referred to them.— Should it appear, by any such document, that the crime with which the persons are now charged, is merged, or likely to be merged, in a greater of. fence, which is now attached in a Court of higher jurisdiction, he was free to confess, that this Court could not proceed till the event of the trials in the super ior Court was known. But before the Court would postpone these trials, they would recollefl, that this was the first time that any attempt was made to impeach the Traversers with any heavier crime than that of riot and assault. The Court wouid here reeoliefl, that this charge was made at a time, when the persons, for whom he was concerned, were ready to plead, and ready for trial— that they have been put to an enormous ex- pence in preparing for this day. They would also recollefl, tiiat they had been maligned in The, Dublin Evening Post and other public prints, which stated, that the transa& ion had originated in re- ligious animosity. He was happy to say, before the Court, that no such thing appeared before the Court.— And now » . en the whole of the merits of the case are ready to be investigated before the Public, and the fafts about to be established, through the pure source of twelve honest and dis. interested tnen on their oaths, we are told by Mr. Kernan, that the assault, of which we have been charged, is not the crime for which we are intend- ed ' o be prosecuted— that it is merged in a greater K offence. He ( Mr. Kplcstoue}, mutt however that if their Worships, on the investigation of the affidavir, should be of opinion, that this is a pro. ! ceeding not made for the purpose of harassing his ; clients, but for the purpose of public justice, it merited some consideration. He again congratu- j lated the Country, that religious animosity had nothing to do with the transaction, and concluded by observing, that the trials ought to be proceed- ed on, as the peace of the County required as j speedy an investigation of the subject as possible, j George Nixon, Esq. delivered the opinion of the Court in these words :—" On the motion of Mr. Kernan, I have consulted with my Brethren on the Bench, and we are of opinion, that, for the reasons stated in the affidavit now laid before us, all the Trials connefled wi'h the Riots of Derry- g'onnell, on the lOrh of July last, should be post- poned until after the decision of the question in the superior Court, at the ensuing Assizes. He then read the Affidavit, as follows : " Thomas Burke, of Dt umadiller, in the county of Fermanagh, m iketh oath, and saith, that on the 10th day of July last, a person of the name i of Denis Murvournagh was murdered at Derry- j gonnelly, in said county— and thVrt Informations | have been sworn before H. Leslie, Esq. a Magls- J trate for said county, against several persons, for j aiding and assisting in said murder ; and Depo. j nent saith, that heveri'iy believes that the several j persons against whom informations have been ! sworn for divers assaults, which took place at D r- rygonnelly, on the 10th of July aforesaid, were j concerned in aiding and assisting in sai j murder, j and that the entire transaction and assaults, which j took place on the said 10th of July aforesaid, at Derrygonnelly aforesaid, are connected with, and inseparable from the commission of said murdir. Sworn before me, m Court, this 14: h day of January, 1S12. ( Signed) u BELMORE." « THOMAS BURKE." Mr. Nixon continued.— It is true, it did not appear from any judicial document except that now produced, that a homicide had happened at th° time of the riot and assaults at Derrygon- nelly. If any such circumstance had appeared to me, on the oath of any of the parties to whom I granted warrants, I would not have returned the informations to the Quarter Sessions. But it was very remarkable that although I was one of the next resident Magistrates to the place where the affray happened, and that I had de- clared that I would take the informations of such persons as would come to me, yet I had never been applied to by any of the persons concerned in the riots on either side to take their informa- tions, until after the last Quarter Sessions for this county. Mr. Nixon concluded, by observing, that though the trials were postponed, yet there was no danger of a failure of justice. He was happy to find, that there did not at present appear, from any document before the Court, that a religious ani- | mosity had given birth to the disgraceful tran- sactions which had taken place at Derrygonnelly — and with respect to the law of the case, he agreed with both the Counsel, that if the mis ' e- meanor had merged into felony, the Court of Quarter Sessions had no jurisdiction to try it. The Court then, in compliance with Mr. Ker- nan's motion, ruled that the trials should be post- poned until the next Quarter Sessions. SAME DAY. The Ki/ ig, at the Prosecution of L. Crawford, against G. Gallo t* ly. This was an indictment for an assault on the Prosecutor by the Traverser, who is the Gaoler of Enniskillen. When one of the Jury was called to be sworn, Mr. Crawford, the Prosecutor, to the great as- tonishment of his friends and brethren, objected to him, the Juror, on the ground of his being an Orangeman I Mr. Irvine, the Agent for the Traverser, ex- pres^ ed considerable surprise and indignation at the circumstance of the Prosecutor, who was himself an Orangeman, casting such an unfair im- putation on the character of the members of the respectable Orange Lodges of this county. However, Mr. Crawford, persisted in his chal- lenge, and on his being asked by the Officer of the Court, why he made such an objection ? the Pro- secutor replied in " Hoc verba," " because the Juror sat in the same Lodge with the Traverser." Here the Proceedings on the trial closed. The parties, at the instance of their friends, having in terchanged forgiveness, the intervention of the Jury became unnecessary. MILITARY EDUCATION. GENERAL ORDERS. " Horse Guards, January I, 1812. " With a most earnest desire to give the fullest effeCt to the benevolent intentions of Government in favour of the Soldiers' Children, to which his Royal Highress the Prince Regent has, in the name and behalf of his Majesty, given the Royal sanction, the Commander- in- Chief calls on all Ge- neral Officers, Colonels of Regiments, and Com- manding Officers of Corps, to take under their special superintendance the Regimental Schools belonging to their respective Commands; and his Royal Highness is persuaded that, bearing in rntnd the important benefits which these Institu- tions, under proper guidance and management, are calculated to produce to the individuals them- selves, to the army, and to th ® nation in general, they will consider them as deserving their con- stant personal care and attention. " It will rest with the Childien themselves, when arrived at a proper age, to adopt the line of life to which they give the preference; but it is ex. tremely essential, that their minds should be im- pressed with early habits of order, regularity, and discipline, derived from a well- grounded respeCt and veneration for the Established Religion of the Country. With this view, the Commander- in. Chief direCis, that ti e Regimental Schools shall be conducted on military principles? and that, as far as circumstances will permit, their establish ment shall be assimilated to that of a Regiment, and formed on a system invented by the Rev. DoCtor Bel!, which has been adopted with the Jmost complete success at the Royal Military ASJTIBO^ " His Royal Highness has directed, thafe*. traCts shall be made from Dr. Bell's " Instruc- tions for conducting a School, through the agency of the Scholars themselves," which having recsiv • ed Dr. Bell's approbation, are subjoined as best directions his Royal H ghnsss can give ftsjr thj conduCt of the Regimental Schools in the Bri- tish Army. " It is necessary to observe, that, allhoucrh itr the Instructions, Boys only are mentioned yet the Female Children of the Soldiei v aVe' also in- tended to partake of the benefits of tbis- sysein of Education, wherever the aci^ m( n idations, anil other circumstances, will permit. " The Commander. in- Cliief considers it pecu- liarly incumbent on the Chaplains, and other Cler- gymen engaged in the clerical duties of the a^ mv, to give their aid and assistance to the Military Of- ficers, in promoting the success of these Insti- tutions, by frequently visiting the Regimental Schools of their Divisions and Garrisons; by dili- gently scrutinizing the cor. duCt of the Serjeant Schoolmasters; examining the progress and gene- ral behaviour of the Children, and reporting rhj result of their obseivations to the Commanding Officer of the Regiment. " It must ever be remembered, that the main purposes, for which the Regimental Schools are established, are, to give to the Soldiers the corn, fort of being assured that the education and wel- fare of their Children are objects of their Sove- reign's paternal solicitude and attention ; and to raise from their offspring a succession of loyal subjects, brave soldiers, and good christians. " By order of his Royal Highness the Com- mander- in- Chief. ( Signed) " HARRY CALVERT, Adj.- Gen." On Saturday sennight, or rather early on the- morning of Sunday last, a number of villains burglariously entsred the dwblling- house of the Rev. Mr. Corbet, P. P. of Glanomera and Broad, ford. The first intimation Mr. Corbet had of his house being thus infested, wtvt, we must say, a very feeling one indeed. He was awoke by a num- ber of heavy blows, inflicted in rapid succession, which severely wounded him, as well as a Gen- tleman who had called late and had partaken of his bed. When the consequent terror of the mo- ment permitted inquiry, and that those unseason- ble, as well as troublesome visitors, had proved themselves to be pure flesh and blood, lie was commanded to deliver up his money, to which he feigned a seeming acquiescence, and be^ gej to be permitted to grope his way to his deskfaj there was no light. His first search at the desk: was for a pair of pistols, which he usually kept loaded, and on meeting with tfcem he called on the robbers to depart, threatening to fire amon^ them; upon which he was immediately grappled^ when he fired, and one of the gang excl. iune. l that he was " murdered."— Mr. C. directly snap- ped the other pistol in the same direction, but ; missed fire, upon which he forced into the par. lour, got out at one of the windows', aft'd calk. I foi assistance. The roboers at tiie same inornc . t retreated through a back wind > w, - it which i' ap- pears they entered, and unfortunately Mr. Cor- bet's friend, in his confusion, got out a- non- r. - th em, when, we cire concerned c observ.?, he p.- ii. k clearly for mix'ng in bad company, as the villains, g ve hint a dreadful beating with i. heir sticks atut bludgeons. A large quantity of blood remained in the room, and marked the track of their re- treat, nor could any appearance ot the bullet", r « it! « which the pist il was charged, be traced, io that the pleasing presumption remains of its havin- been borne away in the body of one of the viL lains.—( Ennis Chronicle.) Last week, as a sentinel belonging to the piquet- guard, at Yaxley barracks, was on his po>, t ai r> ne of the inner gates, a. French prisoner asked leave to go through on being questioned as to his business, he said he was going for a bucket full of water; on which the soldier ob- erved, that he- already bad one ( which was actually the case): but scarcely were the words pronounced, when the prisoner threw the contents of the bucket into the sentinel's face, which sudden application had such an effeCt Wpon him, that he dropped his fire- lock ; this was taken advantage of by the French- man, who unfixed the bayonet, and ran off with it. The soldier, however, quickly recovered his recollection, and having snatched up the piece, Ke discharged it at the ptisoner: the ball: entered be- low the shoulder, and came out at his breast, hut did not cause instant death. We understand that the wounded man is still alive. On Christmas morning a Merino ewe, of the- Escurial breed, yeaned a strong healthy lamb, in the open park of Coats, in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. FROM AN AMERICAN PAPER.
