WEST INDIA SLAVERY. F e following account of the trade of Haiti is ex. d from the last Number of the Quarterly Review:— 1,, a table drawn up by M. Itrgitrac, entitled " Gene ral balance of the Commerce of the different Foreign N a tions with Haiti, for the year 1822," it was stated, that the United States employed 884 vessels, of the ton nAgt. t 88,178'tons to import cat goes into St. Domin go. which cargoes were valued at 6,641,570 dollars. We have no means of comparing the statement as to rl.e 'timber of vessels, as the official returns of the u n ited States for the same year only give the tonnage, 2n d vehich is stated to have been only 44,113 tons, % %hid) is not one-half of the quantity mentioned by the Secretary-General of Haiti. The value of the exports nt tram the United States to Haiti, is given as beiug old) 2,119,811 dollar, which is less than one-third of the Haitian document. The export trade from Haiti to the United States is said by the Secretary-General to employ 508 vessels of 5f),919. tons. The United States' official retut ns only admit of 1.1,:;03 tons, in - eluding their own and foreign vessels, a: .3 of the last, 736 tons are stated to have been Haitian. The total value of all the articles exported from Haiti to the United States, is represented in the Haitian docu ment to have been 3,293,892 dollars, nearly one-third of the gal neut . all the exports irons the island. The official re turns tit the United States, however, give only '2,341,817, as the value of the exports from Haiti to America. The value of the coffee exported from Haiti to the United States is represented in the Haitian document to have been 10,141,578 dollars, which must be an er ror, as coffee forms only part of the exports, and yet is here made to exceed the whole amount in value. The Unted States' official document gives 1,801,150 dollars as the value of the coffee from Haiti ; and the ireight thereof is stated as being 8,394,393 pounds. As we have drawn attention more particularly to the cultivation of sugar by free labour in the West Indies, we shall notice the discrepancy in this article also be tween the official documents of Haiti, and the United States. The former represent sugar to the value of 6/,991 dollars, as having been sent to the United States, the official returns of which, on the other hand, only acknowledge to have received sugar to the value of 1,631 dollars, and give the weight thereof as being `24,241 . 1b5. or about sixteen hogsheads. From the proclamation of President Boyer, it becomes doubtful how much even of that small quantity was produced in Haiti, as the whole, or part thereof, may Lave been imported or smuggled from the neighbour ing islands, %%here cultivation by slaves prevails. The doubt, however; is merely expressed to shew the unsa tisfactory state of our knowledge as to the value of free labour in the cultivation of this staple production of our We.bt India Colonies. In the letter from M. Inginac to his anon me us correspondent, he says that the com merce of Haiti is increasing, and that the quantity of offer i .• thinced inlB23will be a third more than in 1822. As Great Britain and the United States are repre senteJ by the Haitian dbcunitnts to be the greatest im pellers of ci.ffee, the returns of these countries ought to 41.rw this inciea es In 1822, Great Britain imported from Haiti 41.632 ci.t. or 4.662,781 lbs. in weight, which the Haitian do cument gives as being 13,548,591 dollars in value—an thviolis mistake, for both statements cannot be correct. Taking the smaller quantity as being most lavotarabie to 11. inginaes accuracy, by adding one-third to it we late 6,217,045 lbs. weight which Great Britain ought to haveimfOrtei from Haiti in 1823,; instead of which tie officinl . documents laid befote Parliament shew that ce!v 44,422 cwt. or 4,952,864 lbs. of coffee was te- ired from Haiti. As the coffee sent from Haiti to the United States four-fifth's of the value of the total exports, if ►nch an addition had taken place, as .11.Inginac states, we ought to have found the total value of the exports horn Haiti to the United States in 1823 to have been 3;293,892 dollars; instead of which, by official returns, k was only 2,341,817 dollars. As to the assertion respecting the great increase of commerce in 1823, the official returns of the United Sates, who carry on one-third of the trade of Haiti, ;hat in 1822 they employed in that trade 42,975 American and 1,325 tons of foreign shipping; tat in 1823, so far from increasing, the American ige employed was only 32,292 tons, and the foreign 1,011 tons, forming the diminution of about one , in the tonnage employed, if the American official meats be correct. We have no hesitation in saying after a careful examination of the subject, we enter doubt whatever of the accuracy of the America n tent. as compared with that of the Haitian Secre end under this conviction we cannot too strongly re le this attempt to impose upon oak Credulity, and satisfied that it will meet the reprobation of all rea le men, whatever their sentiments may be upon the 'al question ;. and we hope it may serve as a cau co those Mho wish to form an accurate opinion this contested subject, to examine well the data on side befoie they surrender their conviction. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCEiIY, NOV. 12. RR SIR GREGORY PAGE IUaNER, A LUNATIC. Pand.retone applied, on behalf of the Commit ior permission to defend an action at law on behalf the lunatic, who is sued by °lie Abbot un a bill of •snge, drawn by one Tomkinson. The ground of defence was " no consideration." le LORD CHA NCELLOR was sorry that lie could not the Committee indemnity for the costs, which 4 make his permission of vet y little value. Ile 'o doubt of the propriety of the defence proposed ; here had been leave given to traverse the inquisition mac;. The verdict of another Jury might take hole case out of his jurisdiction, although no steps et been taken towards *traverse. If there should 'ocee.!ings, and if the Jury should find the pea . to be of sound mind, it would not be in his Lord power to indemnify the Committee for expenses nature of this action. lie was reminded by this ie necessity whiCh there appeared to him to be of ttly application to the Legislature for some prowl -1 enactment for the safe administration of the estate lunatic, and for giving suf f icient security and in city to tlie acts of the Committee when FlAced in imbiguous and uncertain situation. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOV. 12. DAVIES V. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. is case has been already several times reported in ''per. It was an action against the BALA lot having, Yr a false wan ant of aitorney, transferred stock, ling in tbnplaintiff's name, into the 'lame of another Ai, and-kw having paid the dividends thereon to *tong peck" The plaintiff had known of the cir .cumstance of the forgery~ irhith was by his brother, and of the unauthorized transfer on the sth of March, but in order to sci eel his brother, he suffered the Bank to pay the dividends on the sth of April without dis closing the circuan , tance ; and again on the sth of July, without making any communication ; and then on the 80th of September, after he knew the Bank had paid the dividends to the other person, he came and de manded payment. The question came on for argu ment again to-day. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN was for the plaintiff, and contended that neither assent to nor concurrence in the transfer was to be implied from the circumstances o; the concealment, and that the Bank, being guilty of a breach of duty in the wrongful mismanagement of the stock, were liable to the loss which had been sustained. Mr. Se! jeant TADDY appeared for the Bank of Eng land. He contended the facts did not shew the stock had been lost in consequence of the unauthorized transfer, and therefore that allegation must fall to the ?round. The COURT told the Learned Serjeant he need only confine his arguments to the question of the dividends. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN said they should be perfectly satisfied it they could get the dividends. Mr: Serjeant TADDY then considered whether they would be entitled to the dividends. It would be most fatal to public justice if the plaintiff could maintain his action for dividends, cowidering the manner in which he had conducted himself, the manner in which he had defeated public justice, and the course he had taken to shield from justice a capital offender. All considerations of neatness of blood mu:4 be laid out of the question. lithe plaintiff had been indicted for mis prision offelony in cnncealing the forgery, and a Court had had to pass sentence of tine or imprisonment, the Court would attend to the painful situation in which the plaintiff had been placed by the neatness of releion ship ; but if, when a person had ‘s ithdrawn an offender from public justice he chose to assert his claim to the money lost by his own act, his motives could not be taken into consideration. The plaintiff here claimed dividends which he knew the Batik had paid to another individual, and which he had himself the means of pre venting. The Learned Serjeant next contended that no. action could be maintained where a felony had been committed, which action arises directly or collaterally out of the felony until conviction or prosecution. A person is first bound to give notice and prosecute for a felony, before he can recover any damages in a civil action. I❑ " Bracton de Corona," book iii. cap. 3. it was laid down that a person ought to lose no time in dis closing a clime if he knew of it, or, as Bracton ex pressed it, it was hardly permitted him to look behind him, and he must not delay, though he should be en gaged in the most urgent business. If the contrary were permitted, persons would then argue thus ; we will lay by till the individual, our friend, has escaped or eluded the at m of the law, and, when he is beyond its reach, all our civil remedies are entire. To what extent this might go it was impossible to say. In the present in stance, the delay had been for only six months—it might be for six years, and even go the length of the whole life of the claimant. Prompt information ought to be given to public justice; public justice should be the first care and the first duty of every individual, and ought first to be satisfied in every transaction before other interests are attended to. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, in reply, observed that a great deal of the argument of his Learned Friend had proceeded on an assumption of facts. He was sure that the Court considering that the plaintiff had been ac tuated by regard towards his brother, would deal more leniently towards him than under other circumstances, and would not visit this ccncealment upon him to the whole extent of his fortune. The Cuter JUSTICE said the Court had received in the argument all the assistance which learning, talent s , and industry could give. Considering the importaace of the interests in discussion, the Court would be want ing in its duty to the Public if it was not to take time before it pronounced judgment, of which it would give due notice. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, NOV. I. William Hill came up to be heard on his petition to be discharged, and was opposed by Mr. PoLrocK on behalf of a creditor named Thomas Sanders. The in solvent had been a corn-factor in Nottingham, and had received from Mr. Sanders a bill of '271. to get discrlrilted for him, the proceeds of which he did not pay over, which was the ground of opposition. The insolvent stated, that he offered the bill to his bankers for discount, but they refused it; he then gave it to his butcher, to whom he owed 151. expecting to get the balance for Mr. Sanders; but another creditor of-his, having heard of his leaving the bill in the butcher's hands, went to him, without the insolvent's knowledge, paid him his debt, and took up the bill, which he kept in liquidation of the debt due to himself. The insolvent also stated that Mr. Sanders had, a short time before, accepted a bill for his accommodation, and that all his creditors resided in the neighbour hood l of Nottingham, which place he left immediately after Mr. Sanders's bill had been disposed of in the manner he stated, and came to London, where he was arrested by a friend for 151. which he had borrowed from him a short time betore. The COURT said they would not remand the insolvent on the opposition of his creditor ; but they could not overlook his having come away from all his creditors, to be arrested by a friend in London ; for which the judgment of the Court was, that he should be ternand.:..l for Nix months. ustacto labour i Vet Ir Lis atm mace c cuffee As G senteJ t porters th In 18 ti.t. or current &aim's Taking to Live 6, to have tte offic ti!,. 416 coired f As tt formed inch an ve nog from II 3;295,8 k was • As tr COM= Sates, chew ti tans of but tha touLag only 1, fourth tiucunt that, al ain no sa.e.lll taty, al probati we are Fonabli genera tior. to upon t either IN ?qr. fo ti the •Ichan t;ieir d The C r -:111T ou,d nc nut thq lt inc fire wl y it pro tomer .im p ' s of the • , f the meat anal If a 11 • u, ar 001 p. tr•der vo•udi {visor city • INQUEST ON SCOTT, THE BOXER. Yesterday an Inquest WAS held before J. CHARSLEY, Esq. Coroner for the county of Bucks, at the king's Arms, Coinbrook, on the body of Henry Scott, who fought a pitched battle with Ned Blown, otherwise the Sprig of Myrtle," on Tuesday last, in a field near Coinhrook. _ The Coroner arrived at eleven o'clock, and the Jury being sworn, the Coroner addressed them at considerable length relative to the law affecting Mul der and man slaughter. lie thought from the nut:re of the ca,e, that the Jury had better apply their attention to what o.e law defired to be mantlaughter ; but before he stated rat it was, he should take the liberty of saying, that all pugilistic contests, whether they were pitched battles, or arising from the spur of the moment through the heat of passion, were illegal. Witnesses were then examine.% who described the battle nearly as we have already detailed it. The sur geons, Messrs. Adams and Baker, were both of opinion that the death of the deceased was caused by the extra vasation of blood. Mr. Adams thought that this might have been the consequence of a blow, a fall, or of ex cessive exertion; and Mr. Baker was of opinion, - that a blow on the side of the head was the cause of it. The Jury found a verdict of lifunalaughtsr against Edward Brown• MELANCHOLY SHIPIPRECIe. TCc Mara sailed from Qtrehec (where she had landed passengers from Dublin and the Smith of Ireland), with timber on her return voyage, nu the 28th of August. Nwtliing particular, happened until the 9th September, when they experienced violent gale at S.W. where the sea was runnieg high—ship labouring and making a good deal of water. P.issed the wreck of a vessel, sup posed to have been square-rigged, with nothing stand ing but her bowsprit. They had tole! ably fair weather till the (oth, though for ten days the pumps were obliged to be kept constantly going. On the 21st the gale increased, and they hove to, in or,cr. to clear the deck of as much timber as possible ; when in this situation a sea struck her on the stern, carrying away the dead lights, the wheel, companion, and part of the pumps. At this time they were what is called scuddin, when another sea struck her and washed away from the helm the Captain's son, a fine young man, who was mate of the ship.-- Whilst the Captain was in a state of great distress for the loss of his son, the sea struck him, and would have washed him away alsl, had he not caught hold of the main sheet. The sea at this time making a clear way into the cabin, filling all the births with water. On the 23d, the gale having abated, the men were employed in getting plank over the stern, and putting tarpauling over the companion, &c. On the 26th, spoke the Ar gyleshire for Picini', out sixteen days from Liverpool. Moderate weather till the 4th of October, when it blew a tremendous gale. On the sth, hove to under a close reefed topsail. A sea struck her, which injured her counter. Though both pumps were kept going, could not keep her free, and the water lose into the cabin. —At five another sea .struck her, carrying away bul warks, staunchions, pumps, &c. wounding a number of the persons on deck. Dr. Dorman, a young man who had gone out from Dublin with the vessel as surgeon, had his leg hr oken, and the Captain's hand was severely injured. Between twelve and one found it necessary to cut away the foremast ; but it falling on the wrong side, carried away the mainmast. Six or seven persons were at this time on the top of the mast ; after a good deal of exertion got them all on board but Benjamin Hope; a black cook, and a child about eleven years of age, the daughter to one of the passengers, were washed over board. The eleven survivors on the wreck were now in the utmost distress, expecting every moment the open ing of the decks ; they proceeded to the bowsprit, aban cloning themselves to their fate, and driven before the sea, not expecting to survive the horrors of the night, and without a morsel of bread or a drop of fresh water. —ln this fearful situation the despairing crew and re maining passengers were driven before the wind; they wanted provisions, nor could they in any way get to them, and they were distracted to find, when the weather moderated a little, that the water casks were all stove in, and they found that sails, provisions, &c. had all been washed out of the cabin windows. Having been three days without food,-they happened to find. an Indian shoe floating, this they divided amongst them and eagerly devoured. Or the Bth, Dr. Dorman died. —Two days afterwards they found a piece of beef about four pounds weight, this they divided into half ounce pieces, and shared daily —this helped 'to keep them alive —but they : were dreadfully distressed for w ant of water, and tried to allay their thirst by washing their mouths with salt water. On the night of the 11th, one of the crew, John Ste- phens, died, and a boy about 11, the other child of a passenger named Gibbs. Oa the 1201, death also put a period to the sufferings of au interesting passenger, a woman named Jane Mountjoy, far advanced in pregnancy. These all died in a state of wild delirium. Despair now took possession of all, when they, on the 13th, found another 41b. piece of beef, which they shared from day to day, anxiously looking out for relief. On the 15th, they saw a vessel about two miles off, but which did not seem to notice the wreck ; but about meridian, same day, saw an other vessel, *lnch fortunately came to their relief. She proved to be the Portaferry, Captain l'ottocx, who, alter much exertion, got the wretched survivors, six of the crew, and one passenger, on board his vessel, treated them with the greatest kindness, paid attention to their wounds, and brought them to Portatcrry.
