This was an action nn a policy of insurance, at and from Gravesend to Liverpool, upon the ship Fanny. The, vessel sailed from Graveseud in April, but in her passage was captured by' an enemy's cruiser, though afterwards recaptured by the Sceptre man of war, and brought back to Gravesend. In July he sailed a second time from Gravesend, reached Liver poi in safety, and delivered her cargo to the consik awes. In the mean dine her owners had abandoned to the underwriters, and notwithstanding her ultimate safe arrivll at her port of destination, brought their action as for a total loss. A verdict was taken at the trial for the plaintiff, but a paint was reserved for the consideration of the Conic, namely, whether,,iinder . these circumstances the plaintiffs were entitled to go against the underwriters as for a total loss, upon their abandonment ; or only for an average loss, arisieg out of the capture, detention, and recapture of the vesseL The Court, after hearing Mr. LITTLZDALR hi rap. port of the total loss, and Mr. RICHARDSON in sup port of the average loss, declared its opinion in favour of the latter: Their Lordships held, that a policy of insurance was only a policy of indemnity on the part of the underwriters, who were pot bound to take the abaadonment of the assured. In the present case, the assured bad suffered a loss by the detention of the vessel to the amount of eight per cent. and for that amount the plaintiff was entitled to recover ; the mi.' derwriteri being bound by their contract of indemni- - facades& to snake good the actual damage which the assured bad sustained. but nothing moire.

About seven O'clock a mob, emanating at least to between two rand three hundred persons, attacked the shop of Mr. Morrison, a baker, the corner of Green-street and Castle•street; Leicester-square. A patty of the pa Dole belonging to this Office, amounting to flit or six, were in readiness to secure any of them as sgon as any act of violence commenced, which they boldly did when the mob began breaking open the shop, ,by rushing in upon them. They seized a man who was carrying a long pole with a halt quartern loaf on the sop, when a number of voices snag out I , a mace," and the man was released from the custody of the patrole ; however, they succeeded in keeping the pole with the loaf at the top, and brought it to the 0 .ffice, 'where Mr Newts and Mr. Bums were in attendance till midnight, to receive all charges brought before 'them respecting the peace of the town. Ashelby,,one of the patrole belonging to the • Office : had his head so much cut, and in other respects wounded by the mob, that he was obliged to be carried home in con sequence of their attacks upon him to rescue a may he had seized; he received several inhuman Sticks; from the mob, who broke the shop of Mr. Drew, a. baker, in Kintstreet, Soho. The young man who was secured opposite to Mr. Morris on's. son's. Green•street, after being locked up in St. M watch-house till the mob had dispersed from that neighbourhood, was brought to the office, and under= went an examination: he bad much the appearance of having been to sea; he said his name was John Severn ; he was of nb trade, but was clerk m Mr. Hill, a dyer, in Great Polteney-street, Golden-square. William Maidment, one of the patrol., described the Snob, Consisting of two or three hundred persons, being assembled round Mr. Morrison's house, their riotous behaviour, &c. several of them throwing at and breaking the windows; among them was the prisoner, who stood at the head or in the front of the mob ; he produced a large piece of bard cemented Mortar; which was found in Mr. Morrison's shop, and which had been thrown into it. On searching the' prisoner he found two small pieces of hard cemented mortar, which resembled that found on the counter of Mr. Morrison's shop. Richard Wilson, another patrole, confirmed Maidment's statement, and said be succeeded in securing the prisoner by hard fighting with his truncheon staff; but by the numbers of the mob who attacked him at the same time, his coat was torn to rags. Mt. Morrison stated, that nine squares of glass in his shop-windows bad been broken ; he did not know, of his own knowledge, how many loaves were stolen out, but his daughter and men had told him that some loaves had been taken out ot the windows by the hands of the mob after the squares of glass had been broken. The prisoner, oh ,being called upon for his defence, acknowledged ' being where the patrole had described him to be, but' denied throwing any thing at or breaking the wine dows, but the patrole swore.positively to the fact. Hai accounted for having the two pieces of hard cemented' mortar in his pocket, resembling that found in Mr. , Morrison's shop, by saying it was used in dyin g. applied to be admitted to bail, but the Ma gistrates not considering it a lambic offence, he was emana ted for farther examination.

One Saturday after she bad saile,d, Pierce came to him on the forecastle, and asked witness to join him and a row comrades in taking the ship from the d—d rascals that were in her, to which he consented, but refused to take an oath, under pretence that he must speak to a comrade first, as he did not wish to join the mutineers, and he went and told the third ofbccr of it. The nett morning he found Pierce walking on the forecastle, who told him he had fourteen good hands; that he meant to batten down the hatchways,' cat the officers' throats, and throw them overboard. There were thirty invalid soldiers on board, whom Pierce said they should call from below, one by one, and throw them overboard; the ladies (passengers) he said they should keep for themselves, and when they got near shore throw them overboard. Pierce alio said, he should ask Mr. Quimey to navigate the vessel, and if he refused, throw him overboard; this he told Mr. Q.uimey of, which Norbuge overhearing, Pierce and him agreed to throw witness overboard also, the first opportunity, but fortunately he escaped an untimely end. John Grant, a seaman on board the Mary Ann, corroborated the 'above testimony, adding, that the mutineers sever mentioned a word ot it to him, but he heard them lay a plan for seizing the ship and cutting the officers' throats ; of the rest, he was informal b 7 theTeet *ham; 'They were fully committed for trial at the present Admiralty Sessions.

Hi, Lordihip, however, has declined the invitation, .as Will be seen by the following Address to the Mayor ;maid Ficemen of the City of Londonderry ; viv GJCNTLEMIX.—I acknowledge, with the warmest sentiments of gratitude, the dancing congratulations with which you have been pleased to welcome my return to my native country, after an absence em. ployed Wale public service, and under circumstances deeply important to the welfare, not only of this country, but of the world. . .. " At the close of the arduous contest in which we ,have been engaged. it 'must be most gratifying to the. government,. of which I am a Mmber, that their .conduct should receive the approbation of the free ,men of the city of Londonderry ; bred in the school of Mr. Pitt, and convinced as he was froth rape- Acne*, that through resistance alone a peace de serving that name was attainable, the Ministers o! the Prince Regent did not hesitate, however awful jthe responsibility, perseveringly to animate and to direct the energies of the nation, and the unparalleled achievements of its fleet and armies, to the complete overthrow of that revolutionary power, against which this illustrious statesman had to 'contend in its earliest and more delusive forms. 44 Upheld by the unqualified support of the Prince Regent, their august master, steadily treading, as you have well observed, in the footsteps of his King and father, and sustained by the determitied spirit of a brave and free people, they have at last succeeded in bringing this great struggle to a termination, compatible, as they trust, with the repose and Tiber ,ties of mankind; and which must hand down to the latest posterity the Regency of his Royal Highness, as the most splendid era in the history of this or per haps of any other country. " This auspicious result, Gentlemen, is to be mainly attributed, under PLIOVIDENCIt, to the unani. mity which has marked the Councils of the Allied Powers, rendered effectual to their object by the immediate presente of so many of the illustrious So vereigns at the head-quarters of their victorious ar. ties; but, to no cause is it to be traced with um e truth than to the unconquerable spirit of the peo pie of this united kingdom, which successfully sat!in tained the conflict at the period ot.its utmost peril, and afforded to the oppressed nations of Europe, not less by their arms than by their resources, the snf!ans of triumphantly destroying the tyranny under which they groaned.' " This spirit, the distinguished characteristic of dr. free Constitution under which we have the happiness to lire, has been found; in all times of pubic danrer, no where to etist in greater purity titan within slit. walls of Londonderry; the history of your city 1.a3 ;tendered these principles hereditary amongst you ; °And I am confiient its freemen will never degenerate 4rom their ancestors, -either in loyalty to their Sore. feign, or in manly devotion to their country. ilk !..1012‘22 these-stiptendens. Gentlemen, and with a'very deep sense of the many proofs of tegard hid' you have afforded to me and to my family, I leave you to judge how truly it would gratify me to visit your ancient and loyal city, and to accept at your hands the honour of the public entertainment which you have proposed to me ; but the very limited period of my stay in Ireland compels me, most re luctantly, to forego this satisfaction for the present. Permit me, however, to look forward to revisit the city of. Londonderry at no distant day; and highly gratified by the manner in which your sentiments have been conveyed to me on this occasion, by the de. putation charged to deliver to me your address, I beg leave to assure you, Gentlemen, of the unaltered re gard and respect with which I have the honour to remain, your most faithful servant and tellow.citizen, " Mount Stewart, Nov. 2.
