The Bilhop of ST. Asa n, and Lord LANGrORD and families, leaye, us on Thurfday morning. It was the original intention of Lord LANOFORD to have continued here the grearett part of the winter ; but in confequence of a hurt which his Lordthip got in the back tendon of his leg, tome months ago, while at Bognor, and which, at pre fent, being in rather an alarming Rate, the faith brious fea breezes are refigned for the chirurgical advice of the metropolis. General and Mrs. DOYLE, from Bognor, arrived here hit night,and fet off for the Rev. Mr. Dor La's, at Buckftead, this morning, where they purpole continuing a few days, and from thence return to I London.

The Bonaparte Packet, with feven paffengert, failed yellerday for France.

The celebrated Hatfield Rands committed for trial at the next Aflizes at Carlifle. On the 15th ult. at five o'clock in the morning, a dreadful fire broke out in the Houfe of the Royal Chamber of juftice ' at Stockholm. All exertions could not hinder the fire from fpreading to the Old Cattle adjoining, which contains - feveral of the Public Offices. The great en part of this building is confu med, but the neighbouring honks are faved. The fi re was was not extingui lhed till the after noon of the following day, after Lifting 35 hours. The King was prefent moil of the time, and di re&cd the meafures neceffary to be taken,,without which the las would probably have been much greater. Many of the Offices were obliged to re move ; but all their papers, except a very few, were faved. The Regalia of the kingdom were alfo 'faved. Lail week as a large party were making merry at a Chriftening, in the neighbourhood of Kitley, the beams of the floor gave way, and the whole of the affemblagc was precipitated into the room below, except the founder of the feaft, who hap pened to be (landing at the time clofe to the fire. His aftoni(hment was great at feeing his vifitors depart in fuch an unufual manner, and nearly drowned by the punch which had been placed on a table. The new•made,ChriUian, with the nurfe, a few minutes before, was in the room underneath, but had juft left it. Fortwately the whole party efcaped unhurt.

I MURDER.—On Tuefday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, the body of a man of a very re. fpedable appearance, was difcovered float ing in the Weft India Dock. On the body being got out, it was difcovered his hands were tied behind him with a cord, a number of violent bruifes in differ ent parts of his body, and a very great contufion in his head. His pockets were turned infide out, and every thing that was valuable taken.—From fame papers that were found upon him, there was reafon to believe his name is 4/der." There is no doubt but that he has been inhumanly murdered and robbed by fame villains who befet him in the neighbourhood of the Docks, and then threw him in to prevent deteition. On Tuefday laft, a Coroner's Inqueft was held at the Wheat Sheaf, Wapping-wall, on the body of Dennis Martin, a feafaring man, before En. WARD WALTER, Coroner for the County of Middlefer. It appeared that the deceafed was at tacked by three ruffians, a few nights ago, in Kiirg- Rreet, Wapping, who attempted to rob him, and beat him with bludgeons, which occafioned his death. The Jury returned a verdict of wilful 1.41' INTELLIG ENCE. • • . , COURT OP KING's iIENCH, NOV. 29. , On ad applicatl n made that Catt!'e might be per• milted to be thzvin before a Judge _ at Chamliers, The, CHIEF JurricE laid, that this (hall not be u done, nlefs it appears that it had been intrilible for the pat ties to come to the Court. boner : fur the Coutt would not nnneceffarily load the labours of the Learned judges at Chambers. FR.ONTSEPI V. FROST. In this Ore application was made to the Court by Mr. HORN e, the Counfel for the defendant, for a rule to (hew caufe why a vet diet given by a Jury in favour of the plaintiff, on a former occafion, fhould hot be fet alide; and a new trial granted ? The circumflances of the cafe were Hated to be as follow—while the Progrefs merchant fhip was at Martinique, in the Weft Indies, the Carpenter, who had been carried out from Europe with this Veffel, died. The plaintiff, who is a fhip carpen ter, being unemployed at the time, came on board the Progrefs, as it appeared, by way of trial.— Having continued Tome time, he was feized tvith the yellbw fever, and went on Chore, but returned in abbut three weeks after, when he entered into a regul`ar engagement to ferve on board the Pro grefs in the capacity of Carpenter, till the vefrel had arrived at her mootings in the River Thames. This was accordingly performed by the plaintiff, who brought this anion for the recovery of his wages. The defendant refilled to pay there wages on two grounds. The firft was, that the plaintiff had deferted from another veffel in the Weft In dies previous to his engagement with the Progrefs; and, on that account, by an AFC, paffed in the 37th year cf the reign of his prefent Majefly, to prevent defertion from merchant (hips trading to the Colonies and Weft Indies, he had no legal claim to his wages. The fecond was that the plaintiff had left the veffel, after her arrival in the River Thames, before the cargo had been dif charged, without any order in writing, contrary to the At ofParliament paired in the ad of George the Second, for the regulation of Seamen in the River Thames, by which it was enaaed, that any feaman who fhould leave his (hip before fhe came to her moorings, and her cargo was difcharged, without a written order from the Commander, fhould be liable to a forfeiture - of one month's wages, which became due to Greenwich Hofpital. No fatisfaaory evidence could be produced of the defertion in the Weft Indies, and therefore that point was abandoned by the defendant's Counfel, who confined themfelves to the fecond ground, namely," the plaintiff's deferting the veffel after her arrival in the River Thames. That the plain tiff had left the velrel without any order in writ ing was admitted, but it was proved that this was the general praßice ; that the commanders were often extremely happy to get rid of them at fuch times. The prefent plaintiff, it appeared, even from the defendat is evidence, bad gone off open. ly along with a great many others. The Jury gave a verdia for the plaintiff for the whole of his wages. The application for a new trial was refufed, and the verdict left undiflurbed. DECEMBER 30. -SMITH V. IRELAND. The. Plaintiff is a linen draper, and the Defen dant was his foreman. Some time during the laft fummer a perfon of genteel appearance came into the fhop and afked for goods to the value of 501. or 60. The Defendant made them up for him. The gentrtman, who turns nut to have been a fwindler, wrote out a check for a few pounds more than the money upon Bolder°, the banker, and a(ked the Defendant for the difference. There was not enough in the till, but the Defendant gave him two guineas. The Gentleman faid he would call again for the remainder. Upon carrying the check to the banking houfe it was found no fuch name as that upon it was known there. This action was therefore brought for the value of the goods. On the part of the Plaintiff, evidence was given that he had ftriCtly ordered his foreman never to give credit, and it was contended that the fore man had no right to do fo without an exprefs au thority from his mailer. The known cullomers of ' the fhop might be nutted, but firangers could only be ferved for ready money. Mr. ERSKINE, on the other fide, maintained that it was the cullom to give credit, and that the De fendant could not be liable unlefs he had jufi rea fon to fuppofe that the man who bought thefe goods was an impoftor. He afked if his learned friend, Mr. Garrow, would not obtain credit eafily in any fhop u here he was not known ? Mr. GARROW replied, that it was not an eafy matter for him now to appearin the City of Weft mintier incog. but where he was not known he cer tainly would not be trufted. His LordThip would recollect, that in the famous cafe of Creafy he had alked the witncfs if he would fell him goods on credit ? and the anfwer was," without good fecu rity, certainly not." Indeed, he had once in this way been reduced to great difficulties. When hur rying from the country to the fittings at Guildhall one of his horfes fell ill, and it fo happened he had no money in his pocket. He went to an inn, and Rated his fituation. " No, (faid the innkeepet ), you're not Counfellor Garrow ; this is all a Rory : I won't truft you." He was at length obliged to turn advocate, and urge that his carriage would be afecurity. However, he was f ill fufpicious, and his laft words to the pat boy were, " See that you do not quit the carriage till you are paid." A deduCtion was made for wages owing; the Defendant, but for the ref the Jury found a ver• did for the Plaintiff. MOORHEAD V. ROGERS. This was an aaion againft the Defendant for courfing with greyhounds without a licence, and for refuting to thew a licence to a perfon who duly demanded it of him. The real Plaintiff was Lord Berkeley. George Molton, his Lordfhip's gamekeeper, Rated, that on the 21(1 of September, ;Sol, he law the Defendant conning with a Mr. Slater and four or five others; they had killed a hare, which Mr. S. held in his hand ; he went up, and (hewing his certificate, aiked for Mr. S.'s.
