(successors to M , Adam and Co.) beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur porting to be MINERAL PAINTS which are not supplied from their Nlanufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many persons are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Works (which has been proved by the highest authorities to be most inju rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the name of their Paints, which bare for upwards of twenty years (not withstanding the great and open competition) received such extended patronage from Government, who still continue to use it, and the following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished ORicers im his Majesty's service, will fullyprove its durability and economy, notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and ineffi cient imitations. The ingredients these Paints are composed of are Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late Earl of Dundonald's Patent, to which no other house has access. The Mineral Paints are a cheap and durable coating for all out door work, such as Wooden, Iran, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds, Barn.' Out-houses, Fences, Palings, Gates, Bost and Barge bottoms, Ships' sides and upper work., Wood and Iron Bridges, Docks, Chaim Cables, oral eil Weed sad Iran Wurt under water, us expossill loth* weather; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent them imbibing water and being injured by frost ; and for coating Ida walls to prevent damps. No wood coated with these Paints will be worm-eaten, not will insects or vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed frames, or other places, coated with them, and they will be found an effectual cure for the dry rot; being composed entirely of Mineral substances they are insoluble in water, and thereby resist moisture in a manner su perior to all other preparations.

" This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at the desire of Messrs. 21•Atlam and Co. we made experiments with their preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep tember, 1806. The situation of the wood and iron work 'made use of in this experiment is very high, and entirely exposed to the wind fmm the Chaanel, where it is difficult to find any coating able to resist the weather. The paint, after having withstood the winter in the above situation, has formed a very hard and com pact body on both wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is hard and very dry ; the iron free from every appearance of rust.— From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown Paint, Its hard, solid, and impenetrable state, there is every reason to believe that it win defend the wood and iron work for years agalust the effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ' • and we give it as our opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron work exposed to the weather or to damp, and coadcier it to be cheaper than any other that can be procured.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S Cant JULY, .13. BASS v. TODD AND OTHERS. In this case a bill was filed by the plaintiff against the defendants, in order to restrain them from erecting cer tain bnileings in York- street, Port man•square, conttar j. as he alleged, to the terms of an agreement enter -... into between him and the lessor, a Mr. Harcourt, the year 1807• It appeared that Mr. Harcourt had himself taken n lease for ninety-nine years, of the ground on v:hich York-street now stands, from Mr. Portman. In the agreement between the plaintiff and Mr. Harcourt, it was understood that the then intended street should bV sixty feet wide; the plaintiff conceiving that it would be imperative on every person who might take a lease of any part of the same to observe that I mit, he did himself accordingly build the public-house now known by the signitif the Royal Oak, and in which it resides, observing what he deemed a stipulation ; sub sequently, however, the defendants and others, in lire manner, took portions of the ground, on which they erected various houses and other buildings, but without confining themselves within the limit already men tioned; some of them having encroached upon the street by six feet, leaving its breadth only fifty-four feet. Amongst others, a church, ordered to be erected by Act of Parliament, and a free-school, transgressed the pre scribed boundary (as the plaintiff alleged) by several feet. It also appeared, however, in the course of the suit, that in the original lease by Mr. Portman to W. Harcourt (under whom plaintiff and defendants de rived), although there was a stipulation that the street should not be less than a certain width, the tenants were not limited to the space of sixty feet. The Vlce-Cuascut.oa, after recapitulating the facts of the case, said that the plaintiff having failed to prove that he had entered into the agreement with Harcourt. under the persuasion that he was to have the benefit of Harcourt's own agreement with Mr. Portman, stipu lating that the street should be sixty fe.t wide, he the Vice-Chancellor) should dis Charge the suit, and oadered that the plaintiff should pay the costs of ali parties. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 13. HILL AND OTHILISS V. STARBUCE. This was an action for damages, brought by the plain tiffs, who are ship-owners, against the dlfendanr, who was formerly Captain of the vessel called the 'Mee In 1522, the defendant was sent out to the South Seas as master; the vessel was fitted out in the most approved method for the whale fishery, and he had instruction; to prosecute the voyage with all dispatch. Instead of doing this, however (according to the s:atement of Mr. ScAttLETT, who was for the plaintiffs) he had been allured by a Syren, at the Sandwich Islands, where he pas ed much of his time and neglected his duty, She persuaded him to take her on board, where sl:e remained about nine months, and then persuaded him to return to the Sandwich Islands, in order to be cured of certain swellings occasioned by the food which Elie had taken during the voyage. The consequence of all which was, that the young girl's appearance so much improved by the voyage, that the Captain became quite a favourite in the main island, where the King and Queen resided, and was courted by all ranks and sexes, but patticularly by the Ladies. The Queen took quite a fancy for him, and she likewise was determined to make a voyage in order to improve her looks, and learn wisdom by associating with Europeans. The ,Captain lingered in this island, which might be called another Circe, and, instead of catching whales, seemed only intent on catching women. As etiquette, however, prevented the Queen from coming without her husband, the King was obliged to accompany her with a nume rous suite of attendants. Great quantities of live stock were put on board, pigs, goatr, oxen, &c. Many of the necessary vessels for curing the fish were in com•e quence thrown overboard, and the main object of the voyage was changed for a scene of pleasure and riot. From the Sandwich Islands they steered to R.o.laneiro. where they amused themselves in visiting the country for some days. They then proceeded to England with the unfortunate King and Queen (a ho died in this country), and arrive 4 at Portsmouth about five or six months later than they would have arrived if no delays of this kind had taken place. The cargo of the vessel was not completed, and - part of the oil which they had on board was damaged, and rendered nearly unsaleable, owing to the way in which the master had conductod the voyages.— The vessel was fitted up to contain 300 tons of oil, but instead of that only 275 were brought home, and about twenty-five of these were worth only 17/. per ton ; whereas the average price/6as 421. per ton. Tile 1 s of time and deficiency in the cargo W 45 a most serious to :s to the plaintiffs, and the Jury would assess damages accordingly. The defence set up was a most remva able one. The master took the young woman on board because she had a remarkable eye for a whale, and 1.•.- sisted the crew in finding out the places where the.a animals frequented. It was likewise alleged, that the presents put on board by the King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, amounted to a large sum, perhaps some hundreds of pounds ; but it was wrll known posi tions wet e so cheap there, that they cost next to no:h'ng. Mr. Scoaters then called Robert Poole, formerly Captain of the Aigle; Robert Stubbs, who was an articled apprentice to the plarittfr.,, and sailed is the vessel to the South Seas; and seve , al other witnesses, for the purpose of proving that the a— fendinn had neglected his duty, and caused great less to the plaintiffs. The ATTORNEY-GENRRAL, for the defence, produced witnesses in order to prove that the defendant had • filled the contract, and, in proof of it, that the platntrils had received a bounty of 5001. granted by Pat liament to the owners of vessels which brought home the greatest quantity of fish. After a great variety of detail., which occupied the Nun till eiskt o'clock, the Jury returned for the plaintiffs—Damages, idles. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 13. WHITE D. WINDOM AND Wile.
