Loss or TMIL ASIA.—(From a Singapore Paper, dated Nov. 22, 11147):—" We regret to mention the loss of the Hamburgh ship Asia, Captain Allen, which left this some weeks ago for )lanilla. H a ving arrived there, she sailed again on the 24th of October for China. She kit the bay of Manilla with a fair breeze, which con tinged to increase, until in a few hours it blew a hurricane, in whirl the ship was wrecked on the island of Laban, about forty fin miles from Manilla. We are happy to learn that few lives have been lost. The only persons who have perished are Mr. Bell, the chief officer; Mr. Bruce, who, we believe, was clerk or anis tam to the supercargo, and one sailor; all others escaped uninjured, with the exception of a few alight bruises. Captain Allen arrived at Manilla from the wreck on the Ist of this month, and having in. formed Captain Campbell, of his Majesty's ship Cyrene, of the accident, Captain Campbell sailed on the 2d in the hope of recover ing some things from the wreck, such as lead, spelter, quicksilver, and specie. Mr. Graham Mackenzie, of this settlement, and Mr. Fox, at the date of our informant's letter (Bth instant), remained on the island of Luban. In the &nue storm the Jane and Eliza lest her masts." WINDSOR CASTLE. We are happy to find that his MaJerre has been sufficiently well to inspect the new quadrangle which is now about being added to Windsor Castle. The ut most splendour and magnificence reign throughout the apartments. The paper hinging. are covered with gold. The silk hangings are wrought ift paanels made on purpose. The flowers and borders consist of a species of embroidery never before seen in this country. Different individuals were employed in the manufactory thereof, so that no one out of doors could' See the tout ensemble. In his hIAJUITY'S bedroom there is a bath. In the centre stand. the bed, which, how ever, was not yet fitted up during Passion week. It is to be placed in a recess, opposite the fire place. On the left hand of the bed is a large Gothic window ; the bath on the right. There are three doors in the room, one communicating with the dressing-room; another door opens to a private staircase, leading to the Terrace, sad from thence to a private garden of about one acre. The avenue is by a double stone staircase, or flight of steps, of as vast dimensions as that fronting Greenwich Hospital, and a raised terrace surrounds the garden, and separates it from the park. A fountain, or artificial water-work, is to decorate the garden. The ceilings are all highly ornamented with gold. The windows are all of %ilia%) plate glass, most of them five or six feet hie, and about three feet wide. These are four huge panes to each window, made to lift up, each pane being barbed by itself, slipping in a groove, and lifting up separaoly, so as to form a distinct window. 'I t.ey are of the most costly materials. One room on the pi irate stair case has a glass dome or lantern, with ornamented stone work of the finest texture, resi mbling fillagrte. There are 300 rooms, requiring 500 servants in constant at tendar,c-. The yard of the quadrangle is flanked by. two galleries on two sides, one upwards of 200 feet I "nit. and beautifully wrought; looking into the qua &angle, and giving light to the inner gallery. The 111:ial poles for the window curtains are fixed, but coveted. Some of the doors and double doors have fire hinges of the most espen.ive kind and ezquisilk workmanship, costing thirty shillings each. Plate glass*. are lu every door throughout the building, - except in the bed' rooms. A new door is cut through cha qiiadraagle, leading in a straight line to the long walk, and affording a perspective of three or four miles. One cf the stone bronzed chimney-pieces is sopporteJ by two Fauns, each holding two Cupids in his arms, and looking towards the fire. The new building is quite separate from the old, and appears to have no connection with it. The finishing will cost at least half a million. The whole is to be ready by the mid dle of slay, when the King will give a fete, but, ac cording to others, by August. We regret to find that the beautiful paintings in St. George's Chapel are *lst to be destroyed pat tof them ate so already, the) dying patched, and the ceiling and sides mostly spoiled. though painted by the greatest masters, and forming attraction to visitors from all quarters. The Throne it removed from St. George': Chapel, and will be re- Placed by a new one. The flooring is done in oak, in i mitation of Mosaic. The boarders round several rooms are in small pieces of about two inches wide and short l engths. Two rooms were completely hung, one with dok blue aper, and broad crimson border covered tith gold ; p the other is of a delicate salmon colour.— she Royal kitchen is very large, a fire-place at each end, and arches for chimneys. The yard of the quadrangle Presents a heap of building materials and rubbish. The l ail erl is built quite new from the foundation, as far 16 IWO sides are concerned. St. George's Hail forms 14 e third side, and the round tower, with tLe mound of ends um which it stands, forms part of the fourth. DOVER, APRIL 16..

Magis trates for the county of Kent, the following parties, by order of the Board of Customs, were prosecuted by John Ward, Esq. Collector of Dover, for being found and captured by l.ieutenant Graham Hewett. of the blockade service, on board the French lugger, l'Entreprenante, near DungeneAs, at the lime she was towing a boat laden with 112 casks of foreign spirits, contrary to the Act 6 Gen. IV. chap. 108, viz.—Edmund Pope, Stephen Brignall, William Russell, Edward Pope, William Manser, inhabitants of Lydd ; Antoine Pascal Schiano des V , scomtes, Louis Joseph Dacorde, Charles Marie Face. Jean Claude Thomas, inhabitants of B sur-Mer—when,after a full hearing of all circumstances, and the law being explained to the Frenchmen by the prosecuting officer, the Magistrates adjudged the three first named Englishmen to be impressed into his Ma jesty's naval service; and the two others, with the four Frenchmen, to pay each a penalty of 1001. which neither of them being able to do, they were all committed to Maidstone gaol. SPECIAL PLEADING. ---.IIP •-- At the last Maichtone Assizes, a cause was tried in which the plaintiff, a cobbler, sought to recover damages for an illegal ejectment. The record was spread over as much parchment as would have coveted his sled or stall from which he had been ejected, and the case alto gether formed an exquisite specimen of special pleading. The declaration contained four counts, in reply to which there were five pleas. Then came replication and new assignment, rejoinder, pleas to new assignment, repli cation to the pleas to new assignment, and then rejoinder. In substance the declaration stated, that on the 23d of July, 1827, the defendants. Charles Butler. John Featherstone, and William Roberts,, did with force and arms, &c. break open and enter a certain shop and premi•es of plaintiff at Tunbridge.wells, and then and there made a great noise and disturbance, force open two doors, locks, and fastenings, value 51. and seize divers goods and chattels—to %sit, twelve chairs, three tabl?s, three desks, three stools, three benches; two curtains, two fenders, two sets of fire-irons, two troves, two carpets, four boxes, fifty pairs of boots, fifty pairs of shoes, 500 pieces of leather, and 100 shoe maker's tools, the property of the plaintiff, James Fry, value 504 and that they took, threw, and cast them out of the shop, and forced plaintiff to follow the said goods and chattels. to his great disturbance, disquietude, and injury. All these pleas, replications, and rejoinders were only touching and concerning a cobbler's stall, rented at ls. per week, six feet six inches square, having in it two stools, a few shreds, a ball or two of cobbler's wax, half a dozen hog's bristles, two lap stones, three or four cobbling tools, and sometimes a pair of cobblers! As to the tables, chairs, &c. &c. they never had existence any where, as proved by all the witnesses, except in the brain of the wire-drawer who drew up the pleadings. Mr. Justice Burrough, before whom the cause was tried, nonsuited the plaintiff. It is computed that ,the costs incurred in drawing up the special pleadings amounted to upwards of 50 guineas. If the cobbler had been enabled to go before a Judge or other functionary to have the issue settled, the matter might have terminated in five minutes, without any . waste of learned laboui, or the esptnbe of one shilling in writing. The Duke of WELLINGTON was on Tuesday under examinaticn by the Finance Committee for four hours, during the whole time of their sitting—namely, from twelve to lour o'clock. His Grace's examination is understood to have had no relation to his post of Prime Minister, but to the Ordn-.ince Department. _ The workmen have been some time employed pull ing down part of the wings of the New Palace, in St. James's Park. Tie effect produced by the fine archi tecture in front was injured by the pi ojections, and made heavy. The judicious alteration upon the wings will add, it k said, much to the beauty and appearance of the building. The cupola, or dome, is also to comedown. New York Papers to the 25th ult. (inclusive) Phila. delphia to the 21st, and Baltimore to the 20th, have reached us, but they do not contain any news. An anecdote is related of a soldier during the inun dation of St. Petersburgh in 1768, illustrative of a strong sense of duty. He was en sentry at the Palace, and thy water had reached to his thighs, when the Empress, who saw him from a window, commanded him to retire. This, however, he refused to do. although he was aware that it was the Empress herself who spoke to him, ob. serving to her that he could not quit his post unless his sergeant sent another to relieve him. Accounts from Norway state, that the King of Dati. MARK is going to resign his throne to his son. Several French Officers are waiting at Toulon to em bark for Greece, to put themselves under the orders of Count CAPO d'ISTRIA. Letters from Madrid of April S. say, that the regi n eat of Courinne is to embark for the Havannah in t e beginning of May, and another regiment is also destined to the Havannah ; but the Minister of Finance has not sufficient funds to accomplish the object. Letters from Monte Video, of 19 h Jan. state, that the Brazilians had ordered the rudder of the British itrip Melpomene to be taken away, vpon the plea that the said ship intended going to Buenos Ayres, and that Mr. HOOD, the British Consul at Monte Video, had pro tested•in terms so serious, that it was thought the Bra zilians would not persist in the measure.

EPISCOPAL FLOAIIjIG CHAPEL SOClttrir. —nes— A Meeting of the friends and subicribers to So ciety was held yeAetliay at the City of Lood•Nyravern The Right Hon, urable the LORD Mayor in the Chair. The Anneal Report was read by the Secretary, de tailing the difficulties which had arisen to prevent their objects from sooner being completed, and announc.ng the tact that his Royal Highness the Loan Hum AD• 14IRAL had given a vessel of war to be converted into a floating chapel for the use of seamen. Lord Beztay moved the adoption of the report, and stated, that the sanction of the First Lord of the Ad miralty had not been withheld from the Society but from motives of delicacy. His Lordship also stated his conviction, that within the last few years a great im provement had taken place in the morals of British seamen. It would be an inducement to that class of persons to assemble for the worship of GOD under that banner beneath which they have so often fought and conquered. Captain SUMMERS, R.N. seconded the report, which was adopted unanimously. The Chair was subsequently addressed by Sir CLAY DIUS HUNTER, the Hon. FREDILRiCK CALTHORPE, and other friends of the Society ; and, after a vote of thank to the L rd Mayor, who briefly acknowledged it, the Meeting sepal ated. PARISH OF SP. BRIDE. ELECTION or A LECTURER. Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, a public Vestrs Mte log of the i.diabitants was held in the Church, pur• stunt to a requistion, very respectably signed, for the put pose of considering the expediency of declaring the Evening Lectureship (at present held by the Rev. Mr Jones) vacant. The Vestry was numerously attended, the question appearing to excite very great interest and feeling among the inhabitants. The Vicar (the Rev. T. CLARE) took the chair, and the bu-inzss of the meeting inime.ii 4tely commented. A let,er was read from the Rev. I'. DALZ, who has for two years cAciated at this Church as Lecturer pc cation illy, announcing that hew* as put into nomination for the Lectureship of S.. Sepulchre's, which might, it he were elected, disenable him from Officiating at St. Bride's, but if he were not elected in the former paiish, he would cheerfully obey the choice of the parishioners of the latter, provided he did not in the remotest degree interfere with the interests of Mr. Jones. Mr. WOOD, in a speech of consideiable length, in- troduced his motion for the situation of Lecturer being declare) vacant. lie eulogised the high attainments and eloquence of language of Mr. Dale most highly, and contrasted them with, the qualifications of Mr. Jor es, whom, however, he described as a pious and worthy man, but without the description of fervent eloquence possessed by Mr. Dale, which be described as having wrought much good, and brought together again " the strayed flock of the parish. Mr. BURRIDOR followed on the same side, in a speech full of eloquence, and highly approved of the situation being declared vacant, to give the parishioners an opportunity of again proceeding to the election of a Lecturer. Mr. Satiissonir complained of the manner in which some of the du: ies of the Chuich had hien perlormed by persons appointed to officiate by the Rev. Curate (Mr. Jones), in his absence. Two of them were so drunk, that they were actually incapacitated from' proceeding with the service. He supported the motion, and en forced the necessity for the duties of Citrate being more properly and actively pursued. He said, that the pan persoo the number of 20X), in the workhouse, were without religious instruction. The VICAR said, this would be attended to in future. He had done something in it. Mr. 111111 DEN opposed the motion, and in rather a humourous Manner said, it emanated from " Codgers' Hall," and ought to be scouted. Mr. CUNNINGHAM also oppo.ed it, and said it was an eitremey insulting thing to remove a man, after seven teen years' service, without a single charge being ad duced against him. He condemned the measure upon the grounds of its origin being traced to a junto who formed no part of the voice of the parish. Mr. GILBERT JoNts, of Salisbury-square, condemned the motion as cruel, impolitic, and unjust, and pro nounced the conduct of the present curate as. most pious, learned, and exemplary. He proposed, as an amendment, that it was not expedient that any declara• tion as proposed be now made. Mr. RORIRTS. the Common Councilman, seconded the amendment, considering that if Mr. Dale had lent himself to this proceeding, he had forgotten the Chris tian principle of action—" Do unto others as you would be done unto?' The VICAR declared his firm conviction, that Mr. Dale nas in no way privy to the measure proposed. • Several Gentlemen supported the mntion, and others the amendment, and a feeling of general opposition, unbecoming the sacred character of the noble fabric in which they were as embled, was manifesting itself, when the Vicar interposed and declared, that under the circumstances, had he been applied to earlier, he would have arranged the matter satisfactorily to Mr. Jones, whose feelings were represented as likely to be much abused and insulted by such a decision. He proposed his interference for an airangernent in dividing the Lectureship. which he thought would very likely -meet with the 1 wisbes of the parishioners. Upon is a desultory discussion arose, in which it was hinted that Mr. Dale was unlikely, ender present circumstances, to accept the office, and it was ulti titnately determined to put the question of adjourn ment, upon the Vicar's proposition of arrangement,. but the show of hands negatived the adjournment. The amendment was then put. and supported by a show of about 32 hands. The ori*inal motion was next put and carried by an ores whelming majority. The Vicar therefore declared the situation vacant ; and an election will, in all probability, soon take place. A Committee of nine Gentlemen was appointed to arrange ulterior proceedings. The Vestry adjourned at half past nine o'clock. The venerable building, called Carlisle House Schotsl, Lambeth, is nearly demolished. It is removing to make way for the intended improvements upon the Church property near the Archbishop's Palace.

LAW INTELLIGENCE._ i-• gI • • COURT OP CHANCERY, Ao RIL 141. WILLISLET V DUKE OF BEAUFORT. • .•••••• Mr. Hoards said, there were two petitions in his Lordaltip's paper in this case; the first of which wav; that the Report of the fklaster, to whom it had betn re feired to select a4iiEntlernAn to fill the situation of tom to the infant plaintiffs, should he cot:firmed.

ULLOCIC AND OTHERS V. RIDDELIEN. This was an action on a warranty on a quantity of wine sold by the defendant to the plaintiffs, who are London wine merchants. It appeared that in April, 1825, the defendant, who is a foreigner, residi 1g at. Lubeck, wrote to the plaintiffs that tie had a qnaruity rsf the very finest Damlliac, of the vintage of 1622, suited to the London market, and that the price of it was 161. per hogshasil; The plaintiffs, in answer, desired to have the wine sent _over, provided it was of tee quality de scribed: Tire defendant accordingly sent it, having shipped it at Hamburg's, to which place' it as sent by land from : Lubeck. On its arrival in London, about the middle of June, it was put into a cellar in the Lon don docks, having been previously, for a short time, placed in a shed. It was not tasted until October, and then it was fund to be in a state of hie fermentation. Thedefendant was appriz:d of this; and it being found, after some time, to be getting worse and %%one, tl e plaintiffs at length sold it for a very small sum, some thing less than the dock charges and other ezpeises in curred. Under these circumstances, the plaintiffs now sought to recover the difference between the sum tI by had paid for the wine (36 hogshead.), and that which they had sold it for, together with the charges for freight, keeping it in the Loridon docks, and other inci dental expenses. Several eminent wine brokers were called to speak to the unsoundness of the wine. They stated that it was of a most inferior quality, and gave it as their opi. nion that it could never have been genuine Batillia4 as it had been described to be. For the defendant it was contended, that at the time the wine was shipped at Hamburgh, it was of the quality stated, and that it had been spoiled by being, after its arrival in London. placed in the shed, and kept there for some time during the hot weather. To prove that, it answered the description given in the warranty at the time it was shipped at Hamburgh, a foreigner, named Stahm, a wine merchant i f Lubeck, se as called. He stated that he was present whin the defisndant selected the wine at I3ourdesuz. lc uas genuine Baulliac— strong bodied, and was .hipped froth Bourdeaux ditect to Lubeck, *here it arrived in April, 182 S, in very good condition, and was placed in a good dry cellar until it was sent off to Hamburgh to be shipped to the plaintiffs. Lord TR/MENDEN. said, the question was-.-whether the wine was of the qVality described at the tinsel' was shipped at Hamburgh? If the Jury were of opinion that it was, their verdict must be for the defendant ; but if they thought otherwise, the plaintiffs were entitled to their verdict. The Jury found for the plaintiff.—Damages, 6371.14 s VIG3 V. BURGE. This was an action of trover by the Commissioners under the Paving Act (suing in the name of their clerk, Mr. Vigo) .to tecover the value of a quantity of paving stones. The defendant, it appeated, was a contractor under the St. Katharine's Duck Company, and had removed the stones in question for the purpose t.f making cer tain excavations specified in the contract; Ily the Paving Act, the Dock Company ate bound to pay to the Commissioners the v,lue of the stones taken for the purpose of the Company's work. The defendant, as contractor, had taken the stones in qt estion without making any compensation to the Commissioners, and the present action, therefore, was brought to teeover their value. The sum claimed was 584. 12s. 9d. There appeared to be no substantial defence to the given, pur s ts..nt to the action, but Mr. BROUGHAM took two objections—first, 6 and dd c Dock of Mi dd l ese x , d o td f ea t h : e e t e t av e n h o ru t eeg G hu e t t e r George e e l y at. the.

Lord TENTERDEN, however, holding, that the ton version in this case was not a matter done in pursuance of the Act, directed the Jury to find for the plaintiff. 'Verdict for the plaiotiff—Damages 581. 12s. 91 i A
