'ISTRESStiIG .thIPiVRE6r. FROM A NEW YORK PAPER. Captain Archibald Hall, in this State, called oti ns on Writ , 1 -t, and gave es an account of his recent sui tor by shipwreck, from which we have prepared the ;( „i i , ; statement:—" Captain Hall sailed from Bus lon the 22d of September, in the sloop Sally , of St., bound to Machias. His crew consiste d of two' 0Z lads, 17 or 18 years old ; and he had on board ° f e male passengers belonging to Machias. After ,viog Boston, they soon experienced very rough and • anus weather, and after being out 26 days, while , ding under bare poles, in a violent gale, they lost their mast and rudder, from which time they drifted the mercy of the winds and waves 21 days longer, ,tree they were taken off from the wreck. In a few ps their state of provisions was reduced to nine bis 6. Upon this morsel five persons lived so s:aringly , t o make it last 11 days. At last the biscuit failed, •J no help appeared. Their only sustenance now was !nei tin ee rats which they were so lot Innate as to a:t oby means of a cat which they hapi on board; and sly they feasted Their famished bodies on the cat hers These means of sustenance finally failed them, d still there was no prospect of relief. They had hi . to been obliges to keep ene hand at the pump most 'ale time, to prevent the vessel from sinking. But had now become .s 1 weak as to be scarcely able to k. Three days longer they survived without the t ist sustenance, save v hat they obtained from an old ge t hone, which they boiled over five tinier, and drank liquor, which became slightly nutritive by means : the mil-row and fat of the bone. Toso days before .1%./ere relieved,abi ig hove in sight—their dying heats „.!ed within them, and their half-gllzed eyes beAmed .hr•pe. Tne hi ig drew near ; she was not mote than . a mile distant ; she hauled to the wind, threw back , t,ip-sails, and appeared to' be wazching tore wreck. ;:ih longing ey es the clying sulFereis waited to see tilt lowered into the water. But whilst they watched, uld the brig filled her sails, kept cm her course, and a soon out cf sight. Hunger had now driven them to :elast resource. One must perish to preset ve the lives t the others a little longer. %Vim that one should be ey solemnly agreed to determine the next day at 12 bclock, if PROVIDENCE should nut sooner interpose, in ;seir behalf. But they were not left to this sad ewe pity. About three o'clock in the afternoon, the brig Dark], Captain Lawton, of Dartmouth (England), ap peared is sight, came to their relief, took them from the rrcck, and carried them to St. John's, Newfoundland, likre they were trea•ed with the greatest possible kind red by the citizens of St. John's, as well as by Captain ilwriar. They were fuinished with an abundance of and money, and after their strength was SU& Willy restored, they took passage for their homes in this Ate, w here they have safely an rued." 1: is st.tted in the Pluniteur, that the Duke of Non• 1:111N1131:11LAND is 10 be the Ambassador Exttaordinary vnt to rtTresent his BRITANNIC MAJESTY At the Cort)- Minn of the King of FRANCE, and that his Grace will ,;;,play great magnificence on the occasion.

Another brig for the Colombian Pea - r 1 Fishery Asso ciation was launched yesterday, from Sir Robert Wigrani's yard, at Blackwell; a great concourse of people assembled on the occasion, not so much to see the launch, as to witness the exerdsing of the diving-bell, on board the other b, ig (Colombia), fitted out by the Association, and now lying off that yard, ready for sea. his Excel lency General Micheleua ani suite were there, and were received by the Directors of the Association, on board the Colombia, where an elegant dejeune was provided for a numerous assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen, who had come on board to see the operations of the diving-bell, which equalled their most sanguine expec tations. Several Gentlemen went down in the bell ; amongst others, Mr. Rocafuerte, the General's Secretary; and when his Excellency left the vessel, he was saluted with the honours due to his rank. FlKE.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the house, No. 8, Vine -street, Saffron-hill, chiefly recopied in separate tenements by lodgers. The fire was dis covered by the watchman; the door was immediately burst open ; the inhabitants, men, women, and chil dren, appeared at the windows, crying out for some means of escape, the stairs having given way almost at the commenceenent of the file. One young woman jumped from the secon4 floor window (a height of about thirty or forty feet), and was received in the arms of a watchman; both were knocked down, but neither received any material injury. A man, his wife, and three children, were taken down by ladders, which were with great dif fi culty thrown up against the windows, the flames then streaming forth at every aperture; others of the inmates had broken through the roof, as in their hurry they could not oven the attic window, leading out on the gutters. One young wo man, in an advanced state of pregnancy, was missing when the roof tumbled in, carrying with it such part ' of the floors as had hot been previously consumed. There being a good supply of water, the conflagration was greatly abated by the continued exertions of the engines. The centre house, in which the fire origi nated, is razed to the ground. No insurance, as far as we could 'cam, was effected on it. The-young wo man, for whose safety some apprehensions were enter tained during the progress of the fire, had escaped over the leads at the instant the roof went in, and made her way through the attic window of one of the neighbour ing houses, much scorched. Though the property ac tually destroyed is not of much value, yet to those poor people it is an immense loss, being their all. SHOP•LIFTING.—Yesterday, a smart-looking woman was brought up to Hatton Garden, in the custody of Colton, a constable, upon the following charge :—Col ton stated, that he observed the prisoner go into a haker's shop, where she asked for a penny roll, but con trived to carry off a quartern loaf; from thence she vent to a hair-dresser's, where, after examining some ringlets, she secured a comb ; in this manner she went into five different shops, closely pursued by Colton, in each of which she was successful in smiting some ar ticle, though her labour only lasted half an hour; at length she went into a hooksellei's shop, and asked if the could be provided with A Companion to the Altar; 0:, is the constable, with some propriety, if not good pronunciation, called it a " Companion to the Hatter;" i k °r !nllnediately as the shopman went to look for the 00K. req u i re d, s h e se i ze d a vo l ume o f t he Aetogate .&e,dar. In order to give her an oppoi tunity of add log her ow n memoir to this valuable work, she was ul imnittsd for trial. • Z. 4 ii/ /'O/IT. . . COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY tl.O. GREY V. GREY. In this case his Lordship determinel that tl e heirs representative of the deceased legatee should take a full interest in the 15,0001, the subject of litigation : costs to be paid not of the estate. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JANUARY 20. MANToN V. MARSHALL. Mr. TRESLoVE moved for an injunction to restrain the defendant from sending to India twelve gun-bar rels and locks, which were uow packed up for exporta tion, on which were inscribed certain marks and in- scriptions, the right to use which was solely vested in the plaintiff, by his Majesty's letters-patent. The guns were stated to be packed in tw4 case', on one of which was inscribed, " Joseph Manton, London;' and on the other "Joseph Manton." The bill prayed also that the de fendant should be restrained from using in future these marks and inscriptions. The injunction wi g s granted of course. COURT OF KING'S DENCII, JANUARY 20. SALNInN V. BENSLEY.' The plaintiff, w! o is a compositor in the King's' priming -office, and a tenant of Lord Calthorpe, of cer tain property in Gough-square, Fleet -street, brought the present action to recover damages for an alleged nui sance, occasioned by a steam engine, erected by tl.e defendant, a very opulent printer, in Bolt-court, for the purpose of his business. The principal subifcts of complaint were, first, the noise occasioned by tlle working of the engine; secondly, the smoke and blacks, which escape from the flue. The cause was totally destitute of interest, an in deed, can only be understood by those who ate ac •ln.rinted with the locality of the sprt wke e tLe pre :nisei are situate. The ..I!eged carries of complaint have accrued since the year 1819, when the whole of Mr. t3t'n•.ley's premises were destroyed by fire. The trial lasted until past one o'clock, when the Jury. under his Lordship's direction, found fur the plaintiff —Damages, One Shilling. WEISS Comwall. nn the 23 ,1 of janniry, iBiG, and on file' 24th of March. or y two months afterwards, they sepa rated. A abed ss is executed in March, 1811, by which separate plovis:on was made for her, by Mr. Grim wood, her lather, and her husband was secured against all claims for the support of his wife and a child, the result of the two months cohabitation. Immediately On the separation she went to reside with her lather, but soon after he procured her a residence in the family of the Rev. Mr. Palmer, Rector of Redburn, in Lincolnshire, where she remained from June, 1810, until 1814. In the latter part r,f 1813, Mr.Grimwood died, and by his will he left his daughter (Mrs. John) an annuity of ]5Ol. a year, and 501. a year for the support and education of her child, and after her death the sum of 2.000/. was seemed to thic child. lie also bequeathed Mr. John a I , ..gacy 011001. S'ie had a servant named Margaret (.;;cen, who accompanied her from Cornwall, and who was married, while at Mr. PAlmer's, to a carpenter, namea Smith, residing at ki, ton. a small distance from Red burn. Smith took a bon e. and Mrs. John went to re,ide there in Oct , 'l•er, 1814. Thi; house had formerly been very large, but was then diviied into t.k.o tenements. one of which was occupied by Mr. Smith; and the other by a butcher named liuddlesZton. S!le remAin:J the:e until the year 1818, and then castle to London. lo the ccurse of the yeas 1511, the husband made inquilieh conceinirg t!►e wife's conduct, and in 1821. the present suit was instituted. The leasou Mr. John gave for not commencing ti;is rust until sn late a period was, that it . was not until Ib2l he heard of the leo' ts conceriiing his wife's criminality, and that he e nployed solicitors to seek out the necessary evidence. which was laid hefeire Counsel as it was collected, until the whole of the evi• dente WAS obtained. • Now, upon a reviesv of the evi dence, it was neccs,ary to examine into the manner in which it was coliecled, and whit snit of colouring «as given to induce the I:et son, to give their testimony. The two pint: ipal w itnes•es c- e Smith and Li, wife, the latter of whom had bun Mts. John's servant. Mis. Smith said, that Air. Ji:hn and the two solicitors had been her az Gainsboretth, and had given her to under stand, it was not only Mr. John's nish, but also Mrs. John's, that a separation should take place ; that it would be an act of compassion to the parties, and would enable each other to be marl ied again.—so that the im pression on her mind was, that her late mistress was anxious that she should be divorced from her husband. She (the witness) believed they wished her to say more than she knew, and pressed her very closely, notvrith standing she declared that she never knew her mistress to have been guilty of any bad conduct; they also hinted to her " that money or expense was no object?' Mr. Smith's testimony was to the same effect—the same impressions were given, the same colouring was exerte3. In Jan. 1824, the libel was given in preferring charges that were laid to have taken place in 1814,1815,1816. —The separation had ekisted for 14 years, and during the years preceding 1814, and subsequent to 1816, no imputation whatever was attempted to be cast on Mts. John's conduct. On the whole transaction, she was certainly entitled to the justice of the Cout t, that she should not be proclaimed guilty, unless upon the clearest evidence; and if, from the lapse of time and the generality of the evidence, she had failed to reply to the whole of the charges, the fault was not her's, but her husbaud's veg!ect in not rating the charges more speci fically. It had been said that tile witnesses etc un willing to give their evidence, but they were the hus band's witnesses, and must be taken as such. He charged her with committing adultery with Mr. George Robert Foster, who was a surgeon, in partnership with his father, in the neighbourhood of Redburn, and also with a clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Weyland, who resided in the neighbourhood. That, while she resided at Mr. Palmer's, she became acquainted with Mr. G. R. Fos ter and his father ; that she often expressed great anxiety for the company of young Foster, and fre quently spoke of him in terms of affection ; would feign illness that he might be sent for ; would refuse to eat all day, in order to give a colouring to her indisposi tion, and would get up in the night, when the family were asleep, arid get her food; that on one occasion, when Mrs. Palmer refused to send for Mr. Foster, she flew in a violent passion, and broke several glasses. These were charges, which certainly, if proved, exhi bited the appearance of an intercourse between the parties; but on looking at the ev idence,the whole of those circumstances were not only not proved, but entirely disproved by Mrs. Palmer herself. It therefore threw a cloud over the transaction, and caused a distrust in the evidence. Mrs. Palmer added, and she was corro borated by Mrs. Smith, that she never witnessed any improper attachment in Mrs. John towards Mr. Foster; they admitted that Mrs. John was in a delicate state of health, and often required medical aid, but, on those occasions, Mr. Foster, senior, always attended her.. Mr. Foster, jun. on one occasion, attended her before she was up in the morning, but she was then ill of sit, sore throat. Sir J. Nichol, therefore, thontlit there was no truth whatever in her having formed an improper attachment for Mr. Foster, jun. up to the time when she quitted Mr. Palmer's flintily and went to reside at Mr. Smith's, but that she so conducted herself during that.perrod, as to obtain the friendship of Mr. Palmer's family and the most respectable persons in the neighbour ' hood. The libel then charged that Mr. Foster frequently i visited her when she resided at Mr. S.'s house: that he remained until a late hour in the morning ; and that on those occasions was committed the crime of adultery. The Learned Judge, upon a review of the evidence, found no one circumstance substantiated by proof. Thus, then, there was an end to the charges of adultery, as committed by Mrs. John with Mr. Foster, who was married in 1815. The libel went on to charge, that Mts.John ccrnmitted adultery with the Rev. Mr. Weyland, while she resided at Mr. Smith's house; that Mr. Weyland used, on various occasions, to go to Mrs. John's bed-room at night, and remain there for a considerable time; and that on one occasion he was found by Margaret Smith in such a situation as to leave the inference that the parties had contracted a criminal intercom se. Now, the evidence entirely confuted that charge; for it ap peared that Mr. Weyland used frequently to call on Mrs. John, who was confined to her bed, and at her request, and in the preset cc of most respectable per .ons, would administer the Sac rament to her, and vio.ild pray 'to her. It appeared also, that during the titre she resided At Smith=s, she was much respected by the neighbourhood, and that she was not ( - yds. s isited by Mr. Weyland, but by Mrs.Weyland, t.l,ich would ink, that that Gentleman had only a re.igiuus motile in visiting her. The Learned Judge, after a considerable time occupied in his comments, pronounced a„ , ,ainst ti e divorce. 6 to to 10 to 11 to' 11 to This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a cotier and surgical instrument-maker, in the Strand, to recover from the detendint the sum of 1601. being the price of goods sold to a person of the name of Millar, of whose circumstances the defendant had knowingly made a false representation From the evidence for the plaintiff, it appeared that Millar was a bankrupt in 1815, and paid a dividend of 7s. in the pound. The defendant proved a debt under the commission, in March, 1820; three writs for 15001. were sued tart against him, and Sheriff's officers were sent to Deal, to arrest him on board a vessel in N hich be had taken his passage to the East Indies, but the vessel had sailed before the arrival of the officers; and in a letter written by the defendant to Millar, on the 7th of March, 1820, the defendant stated what was the con duct of the party who sued out the writ, upon learuing that the wr its had not been executed. In the year fol lowing, Millar returned from the East Indies, and en tered into an arrangement with Bating and CO. sa ho agreed, upon Millar's depositing in their hands goods to be shipped to the house of John Palmer and Co. of Calcutta, to make him advances of money. In Sep tember, 1821, Millar applied to the plaintiff for some cutlery, to be shipped to the East Indies, and referred the plaintiff to the defendant, who, upon being asked by a friend of the plaintiff, who Millar was? said that he was a respectable man, with whom he (defendant) had had considerable dealings, and that he always found him a good man. The plairaiff's friend then asked the defendant, if Millar might be safely trusted for 300/. or 4001.? and the defendant replied, certainly, he may be-safely trusted to that amount." Upon this represen tation, the plaintiff delivered Millar goods to the amount of 3201. half of which was paid in ready mo. ney, and the other half by Millar's bill, which has never since been paid. From an account put in, it appeared, that from the year 1819, down to August, 1821, the defendant had made advances to Millar amounting to upwards of 2,oool.—that he had advanced him some money after Sept. 1821, and that, in liquidation of those advances, a note of 1,0001: and two pf 500/. each, being part of an advance of 3,0001. made by Baring and Co. to Millar, were paid by the defendaht to his banker ; and in November, 1821, a sum of 400/. being part of an advance of 1,0001. made by Baring and Co. to Millar, was also paid in by the defendant to his banker; and in the account there was an item of 1601. ad vanced by the defendant to Millar in September, 1821. 'The goods sold by the plaintiff were deposited in the hands of Baring and Co. to be shipped for Calcutta. It came out in cross-examination, that 8001. out of the 1,5001. for which the writs were issued in the year 1820, was disputed. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendant. He begged the Jury would dismiss from their minds the bankruptcy of Millar, in 1815, as the question they had to try was—Did Mr. Bridon know, in September, 1821, that Millar was insolvent ? What was the evidence offered by the plaintiff to support the affirmative of that question? Evidence which demon strated that ;he did not think Mr. Millar imelvent.— There was not the slightest direct evidence of the de fendant's knowledge of Millar's insolvency, and he was satisfied that the Jury would not infer from the evi dence a guilty knowledge on his part, and by their ver dict for the plaintiff affix upon the character of a re spectable tradesman, the foul stigma of having by .mis representation induced another tradesman to sell his goods to an insolvent. MS LORDSHIP in summing up observed, tisk the bankruptcy of Millar formed no part of the question for the consideration of the Jury, because he, by having obtained his certificate, became a new man. The only question for their consideration was, did the defendant, in September, 1821, know of Millar's insolvency? His Lordship then having minutely detailed the evidence. said the Jury were the most competent persons, upon that evidence, to form an opinion, as to the knowledge of the defendant.—The Jury immediately found a ver dict for the defendant.

Sr ~George Sitwell's fox-hounds on Tuesday, at Barlow Woods; Frid,y, at Woodhouse Mill. lhur.day last, the Fox Hounds of Sir Thomas Stanley had one of the hr e o runs that has been known in that part of the country during the season. Reynard was unkennelted in Studley Wood; rid at tt r passing through Vtirteen parishes, and a chace of two hours and twenty minutes, he was killed in the parish of Hawarden. The Ilambletion Hounds hail a very hard day's sport on Friday, hot. T,a, y met at:llotley turnpikegate, and after drawing through B•ttlt y Gg iti:ge and Shamble-horst, unkennelled a fox at Moorly-lane Co; p ce ; he to' k them back through Shatisblefiurst and Berrywood Farm:, and etts run into between the latter farm and Rotley Grange aht•ut twelve o'clock. Another fox had been started in going the range of the above Coppice, which was halbsord a view towards Barley Grange during the time the hounds were occupied in kh' n; their first fox. The hounds were immediately laid , n the seen., n after a short delay in the Botley Grange Covers, a tine burst eit,ued across Wildtrn to Thornhill Plantations, and round to where tit: Te legraph formerly stood. Here they came to a check of at least ha f an hour, when a view was hallooed two miles off, at Moor Grt en, whence they went away, at a tokrable rate, to Durley Church, and on to the back of Mr. Kennett'a, at Winter's Hill, where he was headed back to Greenwood ; the scent now laid very badly, when compared with the morning (then but indifferent), and they followed him gradually to Mareshill, and down to Marwell Park Farm; from thence he skirted Stourwoud and went back to Green wood, where they were again checked for another half hour,when the major part of a numerous field turned tail, and bent their courses homewards. After many persevering efforts on the part of Thomas Smith, Esq. and the huntsman, he was gradually fol lowed on through Durley to Bracksall, where, in a small thick copse, he took a rest of about twenty minutes. The cheering tallyho sent him off again at full speed, and after taking a turn up round Durley he went through Snakemoor across the liot ley and Winchester Turnpike-road, through Shamblehurst, and up to the back of Batley Grange-Louse, where he nas run into a little after five o'clock, after a most persevering and in defatigable chace of five hours. Besides one whipper in, only two or three out of the numerous field were its at the death, amongst whom were T. Smith, Esq. and Hill, Esq. Many of the more hery sportsmen were destined to salute their mother earth in going over the high banks and hedges in this very inclosed country. BOXING. Another pugilistic contest took place yesterday morning, at Chalk Farm, not far from the spot on which the contest which ended so fatally on Sunday morning was decided. The combatants on this occasion were a man about eleven stone six, named King, by trade a whitesniith, and Harry Kilpatrick, better known at sparring clubs by t h . appellation of " Wolfe." The match was for ten covet eigns. At least twenty minutes' hard fighting took place, for although 12 rounds only were fought, the blood flew from each at every blow, with the exception of the first round. King, in fact, in the fourth round. was bleeding from the ears, mouth, and cheek. They, how ever, fought out the other rounds, when the friends of King seiz.•d and can ird him out of the field, and put him in a coach. V/ulfe was also taken away by his friends. It is surprisinr, after what recently occurred near the same place, that persons can be found to endanger their personal liberty hy being parties to such contests, which are lately become an intoleraLle and daring nuisance in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. AMERICAN SPORTING. FROM THI NELLEFONTI TATRIFOT, DECIDIIIIII 17. Mr. Mitchell, the representative elect from this congressional district, for the sake of recreation, set out on a hunting excursion on the Bth instant. On. the north side of the Bellefonte and l'hi lipsburgh turnpike road, about twenty-five miles from this place, he routed a large buck, which he fired at aid wounded, in the shoulder. The buck ran off, and he pursued for some distance, when he perceived the animal about forty yards a-head of him, lying on the ground upon his back, and an uncommonly larg e pan. ther having him by the throat. Mr. Mitchell immediately levelled his rifle, and shot the panther through the heart. The beast let go its hold of the buck, and made several !eaps towards Mr. Mit chell, and then fell lifeless. Mr. Mitchell then charged the gon, : believing the panther be had shot to be dead, and cast his eyes towards the wounded buck, which remained in the same position, whtn, to his great astonishment, he observed another large female panther, having hold of the buck by the neck, on the opposite side from Mr. Mitchell. Ile levelled his gun at the head of the animal, . and the ball entered her right eye. An awful silence prevailed for some minutes t when the panther surrendered her claims to the buck, considering it a vain attempt to contend with so powerful an antagonist as a Congressman, and was about to re tire in a modest and respectful manner before her superior; but Mr. Mitchell thought proper to detain her for further examination, which he did, by shooting her through the body several times. In the interim, the buck thought proper to absent himself from the scene of action, considering that his presence was not required, and left Mr. Mitchell and the panthers to settle the right of ownership 'to his carcase at their leisure, feeling himself altogether disinte rested in the matter. Mr. Mitchell, hcwever, having dispatched the panthets, considering the buck's departure rather unceremo nious, went in pursuit of him, and overhauled hem about a mile from the scene of action with the panthers, and shot him. It was by this time beginning to grow late in the evening, and Mr. Mies ellen thought it most advisable to retire from the sporting scene to his lodging. On his way thither he shot another very large buck, which terminated that day's hunt. Mr. Mitchell, during his hunt 'log excursion, which lasted four days, killed four bucks and two large panthers.
