STOVE TENTER HOUSE.
To the Editor of the Dublin Journal
SIR. - The great attention which you have of late paid to the calamitous state of the Poor in this Metropolis, and the many plans for their relief, which have been suggested in the columns of your valuable Journal, highly entitle you to the praise and gratitude of your fellow citizens. Whatever tends to relieve the unprecedented distress of these sad days, deserves applause; and when the opulent and humane, are liberally contributing their money, and their time, to alleviate the calamities of their countrymen, how far one valuable class of our industrious Artisans has been benefited by the munificence of a PATRIOT, whose fame will be transmitted to posterity, along with those who have dignified the name of IRISHMAN ! Need I mention the name of THOMAS PLEASANTS ? The Sum of Eleven Thousand Pounds, which the public benevolence has placed in the hands of the enlightened Committee of the Mansion-house, augmented as it has been, by the Royal Bounty of Two Thousand Pounds : and by Five Hundred pounds, from the Bank of Ireland, and other ample contributions; will, undoubtedly be disposed of by them with mature consideration, and in such a manner as will most effectually attain the object of the charitable donors. It seems to be a prevailing idea with the Committee, that the best mode of affording assistance to the poor, is to provide them with work suitable to their respective conditions; unquestionably, this is the truest wisdom : and it was on this principle that Mr. PLEASANTS founded the STOVE TENTER HOUSE, which has succeeded even beyond expectation, in relieving the Woollen Manufacturers in the Earl of Meath's Liberty and its vicinity. The completion of this most humane, and extensive building, and the necessary and valuable apparatus attached to it, of Size-house, Stoves, and Tenters, has cost him upwards of THIRTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS; and thus has our great, and good man, expended on this one object, a sum considerably larger, than that collected by royal bounty, and the numerous contributions of public bodies, and private individuals, for the relief of the poor of Dublin. But he is now receiving a portion of his reward, in beholding the crowd of grateful workmen, who daily throng to this (as it has been justly termed) TEMPLE, AND ASYLUM OF MERCY, AND INDUSTRY.
The present writer, Mr. Editor, has for these two years past made frequent visits to it, and always with encreased pleasure; but never with the genuine delight that he lately felt when he found, on examining the books of the superintendant, that in the last month, the following articles were sized, dried, and tentered, viz. :-

And 78 pieces of stuff, containing 30 yards each, or 2340 yards ! Such are the blessed effects produced in a most inclement season; and the manufacturer now attains, in a few hours, and complete in every respect, what formerly cost many days, sometimes weeks to accomplish, and even then, in a very imperfect manner. If we also recollect, that at a very moderate calculation thirty human beings derive their support from each piece of cloth sold in the market - what respect and veneration are due to him, whose enlarged and bountiful mind, planned and presented this institution to his native country ?
R.E.M.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
APPEAL FROM THE RECORDER OF THE CITY OF
DUBLIN, SITTING IN THE CIVIL BILL COURT.
William Morris Appellant - Eliza Smith, Respondent.
This cause, which came on before the Lord Chief Justice last Term, was a case of much interest to the Citizens of Dublin, and the country at large, in as much as the Recorder has given judgement in a process, issued in the Civil Bill Court, that Wm. Morris, late of the firm Morris and Malone, bankers, was liable to pay the outstanding notes of that firm - against which this appeal was made.
Mr. White, for the Respondent, went into her case, by examining witnesses, to prove the hand-writing of the signature to the notes.
Robert Eachus proved that a �3 bank post bill was signed by him as the signing clerk of the firm, that it was made payable to P. M'Auley and a �4 bank post bill was made payable to William Clancy, who was a Clerk in the house; the �3 note was duly accepted by William Clancy, having the letters W.C. The �4 note had the appearance of an acceptance with the initials J.H. signed thereto; but there was no such clerk belonging to the firm whose name began with J.H. nor was it in the hand-writing of any clerk in the house. The notes has been issued in January 1814, the bank failed in the June following.
Cross-examined by Mr. R.C. Walker - Knew both parties, Morris and Malone, intimately; Malone kept the bank and money change office in College-green: Morris never interfered in the concerns of the bank : he knew nothing of how things were conducted there : did not pay the clerks; is convinced Morris never received a shilling from the establishment; has known to his own knowledge bank post bills, after being paid, and when they ought to have been cancelled, to be re-issued - it was a very common custom; has heard and believes that they were issued after the bankruptcy.
Mr. Deveaux another clerk in the bank, proved the very same facts, and swore that Morris has no concern in the Bank, nor never received any of the profits out of it.
Mr. R.C. Walker submitted to the Court, that there was no evidence to support the Respondent's case, and that it must be evident that the Appellant Mr. Morris, had never received any value for the notes in question, or any notes issued from the Bank kept by Malone. He as his Counsel must insist on the strictest proof being given.
The Lord Chief Justice, without requiring the Appellant to go into his case, any further than what came out on the examination and cross-examination of the two witnesses examined on the part of the Respondent, laid down the law on the evidence before him, agreeing with Mr. Walker's opinion, as to what the law was - and stated that whatever the equity the case might be, the law compelled him to reverse the decree in the count below. - This judgement is final in this case.
PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
DROGHEDA, JAN. 18 - Horr'd Murder - Our feelings are again outraged, in being under the painful necessity of recording a transaction of the most diabolical nature, which took place on Thursday evening near Ardee :- The following particulars we have learned from a Gentleman. Mr. John Rath, a respectable and wealthy farmer, and an excellent member of society, returned on the above evening, from the Quarter Sessions of Ardee, to his house at Irishtown, on the Dundalk road, and about a mile and a half from the former place. Having sat down in his parlour, with two friends, to dinner, the lay in front of the window - one of his guests sat a little distance on his right, the other on his left - it was then between seven and eight o'clock, and the shutters were not closed. In this situation some hellish miscreant discharged the contents of a blunderbuss loaded with slugs, which carried off the upper part of his head, and scattered the brains of the unfortunate victim about the room - neither of the other persons, we understand, were injured. One of his friends, shortly afterwards, went to Ardee and informed the police, who, with the military, were in pursuit of the murderer during the night, but unfortunately did not come up with him. Friday, an inquest was held by Doctor Blackwell, one of the Coroners of the County, and a verdict of wilful murder found against persons unknown.
At the last Assizes of Dundalk, Mr.Rath prosecuted a man for robbery, who was convicted on the clearest evidence : Mr.R. however, interfered in his behalf with the Judge, and his sentence was commuted to transportation. This act is a further proof, if any could be wanting, that there is a confederated society of villains, who sit in judgement on every man than has the boldness to support the laws of his country, and bring offenders to justice. The Magistrates in the neighbourhood will, of course, exert their usual vigilance to bring this monster and his associates to speedy trial. - Drogheda Journal.
BELFAST, JAN.21.- For a considerable time past the peaceable inhabitants of Banbridge have been grievously annoyed by nocturnal depredators, who broke into shops and stores, and carried off property. These outrages had, latterly, become so frequent, and were always committed with such secrecy and address, that it was found necessary to establish a nightly guard. Even this, however, was not sufficient to protect the well disposed from these nightly marauders. About two o'clock in the morning of the 15th inst. a most daring attempt was made to rob the house of Mr. John Hill, keeper of the Banbridge turnpike gate, but, we are happy to add, was resisted with equal intrepidity and success. The house is low, the principal part of it slated, but a small projection over the rear, used as a scullery, is covered with thatch, and communicates with the rest of the house in the inside by a door, which was locked on the night the attempt was made. The villain, (whose name is Cartwright, and has lived in the suburbs of the town these several years and had been long suspected,) cut his way through the roof of the abovementioned projection, entered the scullery, with a chisel sprang the nails of the door opening into the kitchen, and, finally introduced himself, unperceived, into the bed-chamber where Mr. Hill lay. To effect his purpose with the less noise, he had taken off his shoes and put them into his pockets, and succeeded in carrying off, unperceived, two watches that on the fire board, in Mr. Hill's room at the time. Mr. Hill had no assistance in the house but a little boy and girl, neither of them above 14 years of age. He had been up not very long before, and even heard a little of the noise made by Cartwright in the house, but thought it was made by a cat. Upon looking up, however, he observed, that his bed room door was open, which he knew he had shut. This induced him to rise, and he espied the robber just attempting to escape thro' the opening he had made in the scullery. Mr. Hill nobly rushed on him, seized him by the collar, dragged him back, and had the good fortune to throw him on the ground, at the same time calling to the boy and girl that there was a robber in the house, that he had got a hold of him, and that they should rise and give him a sword which was beside his bed and light a candle. They both started out of bed, the boy got the sword, but was under such trepedation that he did not dare to approach them where the two were grappled together, but threw the sword to the place, which, most fortunately, was secured by Mr. Hill. In the mean time the girl had lighted the candle. On this Cartwright, who had got up, and had got a little disengaged, sprung to one side, snatched up a knife that he saw on a table, and made a furious drive at Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill turned the stroke aside with the sword, and at the same time slightly wounded the robber in the wrist.- This only served to exasperate the villain, who collected his whole force, made a desperate thrust at Mr. Hill : but here too he failed, and received the just reward of his murderous intent. Whilst the villain was in the act of making the stab, Mr. Hill struck him with the sword, and inflicted a deep wound in the side of his face, and further throwing himself into a posture of vigorous and determined attack, threatened to run the sword instantly through him, unless he would drop the knife and surrender. This had the desired effect, Cartwright became all submission, and peaceably suffered his hands to be tied. He has been since safely lodged in Downpatrick jail, there to await his trial.
Since Cartwright was taken, his premises have been searched, and both tea and brown linen cloth have been found supposed, with good reason, to be part of the plunder taken out of a shop, robbed a few weeks ago. There are some hopes that this may lead to the discovery of others concerned in these nightly depredations. - Belfast News Letter.
On Tuesday week the first anniversary of the Belfast Religious Tract Society was held in the Rev. Mr. Brown's Meeting-house, Donegal-street. The business of the day was opened with a prayer by the Rev. John Thomson; after which William Clark, Esq was called to the chair. The report of the last year's proceedings was then read, containing an interesting and luminous review of the exertions of the Committee since its commencement and pourtraying [sic] the great advantages the lower classes of society might be supposed to reap, from the circulation of small publications of a religious nature. As we understand this excellent and satisfactory report is shortly to be laid before the public, we forbear further comment. In proposing the resolutions, the meeting was addressed by the Rev. Messrs. Hanna, Carr, Thomson, and Miller, who severally delivered their sentiments on the nature, designs, and happy effects of this benevolent and praiseworthy society. Our limits will not permit us to give even a faint outline of the speeches delivered on this occasion. The audience was numerous and respectable, and seemed deeply interested in witnessing the procedure of the day. The friends of the Society left the meeting, encouraged by the liberality, activity, unanimity, and zeal that appeared to characterize this first anniversary, and which promises a harvest of future success. - Ibid.
Extract of a Letter from Glenarm, dated 18th Jan.
The Countess of Antrim, feeling the pressure of the times, directed her agents to lower the rents of her Ladyship's tenants in different proportions, from 4s. to 5s. in the pound :this is the second time they have experienced her bounty. She ordered flannel to the poor of both sexes, and nobly directed money to be distributed among them according to their wants. Her Ladyship subscribed liberally to a loan lately instituted at Larne for procuring provisions at a cheap rate for the industrious workmen and labourer. Subscriptions of this kind and private donations seem absolutely necessary in all parishes, and the conduct of the Larne gentlemen is worthy of imitation. - Ibid.
HORTICULTURE
ON SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN GARDENING.
By Joseph Sabine, Esq V.P.H.S. &c.
I believe it has been understood, that at certain periods, preventing or retarding the mounting of the sap, tend to produce and ripen the fruit. An abundance of sap is found to increase the leaf buds, and decrease the flower buds. A process to retard the sap has long been employed, with the greatest success, in the gardens of Montreuil, at Paris, which you will find well described by the Abbe Schobal, which is easily procured. His practise thereby, is to divaricate the sap as near the root as can be, by cutting off the main stem, and training two lateral branches, from which his wall is to be filled.
The other process of interrupting the rising of the sap, by separating the bark, has, I believe, been long in practice in vine forcing houses; this is done when the grapes are full grown, and is found to assist the bark in diminishing the aqueous, and increasing the saccharine juice.
I have succeeded in banishing, entirely, the red spider, &c. from my hot-house and green-house at Ashbourne, by the simple process of cutting off the infected leaf. I had observed that the leaf once attacked soon decayed, and fell off; but in the meantime the animal had removed to another; and the leaf, from the moment of the attack, seemed to cease to perform its office. In short, by persevering in this amputation, my plants became the most healthy I have ever seen housed.
To destroy the insects in the wood and walls, washing them with a solution of corrosive sublimate in water, I found effectual. But care must be taken than none falls on the plants; and the workmen must be apprised of the strength of the poison.

At Edinburgh, on the 11th current, Mr. Moss, after a lingering disease of nearly three years duration, the pains of which he bore with exemplary fortitude. Mr. Moss was long the great dramatic favourite of the Edinburgh public, and many still recollect the excellence with which he pourtrayed Lingo, and many other characters of the same stamp. He was for many years a member of the Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Haymarket Theatres, and upon resigning these engagements, he attempted by his individual powers of humorous recitation and singing, to support himself. These efforts failing, he commenced the dangerous speculation of management; but here, alas, fortune was still unpropitious, and the lingering illness which caused his death would have been aggravated by the extreme of poverty, had not both public and private assistance repaid the efforts he formerly made for their amusement. As he lived, so he died, esteemed by all who knew him, which was evinced by a funeral most respectably and numerously attended. - At Dundee, Scotland, on the 15th current, Charles Craig, weaver, at the advanced age of 108. This man was born in the old Castle of Newtyle [?], where his father was a gardener, in 1709; lived in that parish about eight years, removed to Glammis, where he spent about sixty years of his life, and has lived in Dundee above forty years. - Charles Craig was of rather small stature, well made, neat in his person, and sober and industrious in his habits. He enjoyed general good health to within two or three days of his decease. - On Friday, the 17th inst in Cavendish-row, Frances Anne, daughter of Richard Dobbs, of Castle-Dobbs, in the County of Antrim, Esq.

No. 70, THOMAS-STREET.
Opposite the Market-House,
MOST respectfully inform their Friends and the Public, that they have a large assortment of Pewter Measures, which, from the reduction in the price of Block Tin and Pewter, they are enabled to Sell at Prices lower than any ever yet offered to the Public, and which, in point of quality and manufacture, are superior to any other House in the Kingdom.
Their Kitchen Furniture also will be found superior in quality and manufacture, and at Prices so low as will render it worthy of a decided preference.
Their Stock of Birmingham and Sheffield Goods (being entirely new), combining the peculiar advantages of having been purchased for Cash from the Manufacturers, and the present dullness of Trade in England, they can offer them on terms so favourable to the Public which is yet unprecedented in this Kingdom.
N.B. Copper Patent Measures, Copper Scales, Brass and Iron Weights.

ARRIVALS-TO THE PUBLIC.
THOMAS & JOHN WARDLE & Co. (from Leeds,) Manufacturers and Importers to Woollen Goods, 10, FRANCIS-STREET, return their sincere acknowledgements to the Public, for the very liberal support they continue to receive, and beg leave respectfully to lay before them a statement of arrivals, which is a convincing proof, that their Establishment enjoys advantages, which no other House in the Retail Trade ever possessed in this City. It is not the intention of the Proprietors to resort to that system of puffing now so much the practice - but simply to lay before the Public facts that cannot be denied - 8 bales per the Sarah Ann, 5 ditto ditto Ferron, 1 ditto ditto Lune, 1 ditto ditto Elizabeth, 1 ditto ditto Argus, 4 ditto ditto Irene, 3 ditto ditto Preston, 3 ditto ditto Betsey, 7 ditto ditto Aerial, 4 ditto ditto Warrall, 4 ditto ditto Sarah Ann, expected every ride - making a total of 41 Bales, since their commencement on the 21st October last - besides a further supply of 10 Bales, which will be shipped the first opportunity.
Their Stock of West of England Cloths, in Blacks, Blues, and Colours, they recommend to the notice of the Public, as being of the primest quality imported, and which they still continued to sell at the wholesale Prices.
The Proprietors, when soliciting the continuation of that support they have long received, feel they have no other claim on the patronage of a discerning Public, than their having being instrumental in quashing a monopoly which has for a considerable length of time kept up the prices of Goods, when it was well known that all descriptions has experienced a considerable reduction.
THE COMMITTEE HOUSE FOR
CHARITABLE SOCIETIES
TRUSTEES.

| Rev. James Dunn | John D.La Touche, Esq. |

| Thos. Lefroy, Esq. | Wm. C. Hogan, Esq. |
| Thos Parnell, Esq. | James Ferrier, Esq. |
THE TRUSTEES of this Institution had some time since announced to the public their intention of procuring a House in which Charitable Societies, both National and Local, in and near the City of Dublin, might find accommodation for carrying on their business, and for holding their meetings.
They have now to congratulate those who more especially take an interest in the success of benevolent and charitable objects, that they have succeeded in attaining the object which they had in view; they have purchased the House, No.16, Upper Sackville-street; a House containing ample accommodation, and almost central between the North and South sides of Dublin; thus, in every respect peculiarly adapted to their purpose.
Some of the apartments have already been occupied by Public Charitable Institutions, and a large room has been set apart as a General Committee room, where the meetings of their Committees may be held; an accommodation which may also be procured upon moderate terms, by such Charitable Institutions as may not require a room for their separate use, but which may desire to occupy the Committee room, either for a single meeting - or periodically, once a month - once a fortnight - or once a week. For the further accommodation of such Societies, provision will be made for keeping presses, where their papers and books may be arranged, and access to these will be given to the Officers of Managers of the Institution to which they belong during the greater part of the day. The Trustees need not dwell upon the great facility which these arrangements will afford to the Conductors of Charitable Societies, in carrying on their business, and the important assistance which will thus be rendered to the first-attempts of establishing any new Institution, which may at a future time be judged beneficial to the Public.
The Trustees have been under the necessity of charging the Institutions which already occupy rooms, a higher proportion of rent then they would have wished, in consequence of the whole Fine (�1000) not having, as yet, been collected, exclusive of the rent of the House, (One Hundred Guineas per annum) and the necessary alterations and repairs which must also be provided for. The Trustees do not however conceive that they have acted imprudently in deciding on the purchase before the Fine had been collected; the situation and size of the House, and the reasonable terms on which it was offered for sale, made it highly inexpedient that such an opportunity should be lost, since, had not the purchase been concluded, such a House, in such a situation, might not again have been procured on such terms, and the design might eventually have been frustrated from the difficulty of finding another House so advantageously circumstanced.
In order to pay off the remainder of the Fine, to defray the expences incurred from the alterations and repairs necessary to fit up the House for the accommodation of Charitable Institutions, and further to enable the Trustees to reduce the rent of �113. 15s. to �36. 13s. which by their Lease they are empowered to do and thus to diminish the cost of that accommodation to Charitable Institutions - for these objects so very desirable; so highly conducive to the end in view, and tending to render the benefits of the "Committee House" extensive and permanent, the Trustees have determined to solicit from the Public such Subscriptions and Donations as benevolent persons might be inclined to bestow, to perfect a plan which has been so happily begun, and which may confidently be pronounced to involve a national object.
The Trustees make this candid statement of the circumstances in which they are placed, that the Friends of this Institution may justly estimate the difficulties which are yet to be surmounted, and may be induced to realize the hopes which the Trustees have formed, of being enabled gradually, (they do not expect to do it rapidly) to effect these objects, and to reduce the rents, payable by the Institutions which occupy the House, until finally, they shall enjoy all the facilities which it affords for the annual payment of merely a trifling sum.
The Trustees would here acknowledge with gratitude, the effectual assistance which they have received from the "Society for promoting the comforts of the Poor," by a Donation of �200; they would take this opportunity of expressing their hope, that the Members of that Society will be gratified in the reflection that they have thus laid the foundation of an Institution, (for without their contribution the House would probably not have been purchased) calculated to afford the accommodation to some of the most valuable Societies which labour to promote the welfare of the poor, as well as of this City, as of Ireland. For these a home has been provided, where their Managers may leisurely, systematically, and quietly prosecute their business; where the Conductors of different Charities may reap the advantage of an intimate communication with each other, conducive to mutual improvement, and to the perfection and establishment of the great cause which they have in hand.
The Committee House will also furnish a central point where may be collected much of that information and intelligence which is so useful, yet often so difficult to be obtained.
The Trustees entertain hopes that when the existence of this Institution shall be known in the Sister Kingdom, the Conductors of its Charitable and useful Societies, will be induced to sent their Reports and Publications to be deposited at this House; and perhaps a correspondence may be opened by which the improvements which experience has taught them to adopt may be made known here, and thus the institutions of Ireland may be brought forward to that state of perfection which every friend of this Country must desire that they should attain.
Such are a few of the advantages which may be expected to result from this Institution : to state them all would be difficult. The Trustees are authorised, even already, to express a strong conviction that immediate and decided benefits will ensue, so as to justify them fully in calling on the Public for assistance - and they confidently look forward to a great and encreasing current of good originating from the little spring which they have opened.
The Committee House is not the property of any one Charity - it has been purchased according to legal forms; and the Institutions which meet there, solely occupy it as Tenants. The Trustees have, by their constitution, determined not to admit any other Societies but those formed for Charitable purposes, for the convenience of which arrangements shall be made - and it will not perhaps be contended, that while the various operations of legislation, of commerce, and of civil and military policy, require a close and persevering attention to the minutiae of system, in order to their success, that Charitable institutions alone can prosper with systematic arrangement, which can only be had by providing a permanent station for the conduct and detail of their businesses, and for keeping their books and correspondence, and where the Public may at all times have access to the Representatives of the Societies.
The Trustees conceiving it materially conducive to their objects to form a collection of such works as have been published, or may from time to time appear on benevolent subjects, such as Reports on Charitable Institutions, Books on Education, or the improvement of the condition of the Poor, or on the management of Hospitals, Alms Houses, Prisons, &c. &c. will feel thankful to those Societies and Individuals who shall contribute donations of Books on these subjects, or on subjects generally connected with them. The Trustees would hope, that they will be thus enabled to form a Library most valuable, as it will combine a collection of Books on subjects so highly essential and interesting to the welfare of mankind.
All Communications to the Trustees to be sent post paid, directed to the Secretary of the Committee-House for Charitable Societies, No. 16, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin.
Donations and Subscriptions will be received by the Trustees, by the Right Hon. David Latouche & Co; and by the Secretary, Mr. James Boyd, at the Committee House, 16, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin.
