LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-THIS DAY. PUBLISHING POLICE REPORTS. DUNCAN P. THWAITES. The expected decision in this important cause excited consider. able interest, and the Court was crowded to excess. On the L oco Cum JUSTICIt taking his seat, he proceeded to give judgment in two cases, and then intimated that the Court was not prepared to give their judgment in the above cause this day. ST. MARTIN'S PARISH. Mr. CUItWOOD moved for a Mandamus to be directed to the racers of St. Martin's Parish, directing them to select six persons from what is called the optional streets, for the purpose of forming a Committee under the Paving Act. The 26th Geo. 111. requires the Parish shall elect six out of the optional streets, and six out of the Parish at large. Ti affidavit on which the application was made, stated that two only had beet, elected from the optional streets. Mr. Justice BAYLKY.—Take a Rule to chew cause.

Ex-parte ROLLAND AND OTHERS, IN THE MATTER OP MARSH, STRACEY, AND GRAHAM, BANKRUPTS, AND OF HENRY FAUNTLEROY, A BANKRUPT. Mr. HEALD said, that a commisson of bankruptcy had issued against the three parties first mentioned, and a separate commission 'against Henry Fauntleroy. In the beginning of October, Mr. Seymour, a creditor, tolk out a commissice against the tour. No assignees had been appointed : nothing had been done in the commission, which, in short, was perfectly useless. The assignees under the commission against the three prayed, therefore, that Mr.' Seymour's commission might be superseded, and that he should be directed to pay all the costs; including this application. lkir. GLYNN appeared on behalf of a creditor, to request that this application might stand over. Mr. HEALD took a formal objection to the interfe rence of any one creditor with thioapplication. If one creditor had this right, why not 100? Why not the 1,500 or more creditors who were likely to claim under the commission /I The LOAD CHANCILLOIL said, that the objection came a little too quick upon him, u he really did not know what the Counsel were about. Mr. SHADWILL, on the part of the assignees against Henry rituntleroy, had no objection to thy application. Mr. HEALD had been as much in the dark as the Lord Chancellor, for until this minute, he had under• stood that Mr. Shadwell appeared to oppose the appli cation. The assignees, however, for whom he appeared, prayed for the superseding Mr. Seymour's commission, or, in the alternative, that the proceedings might be stayed, and deposited in the office of his Lordship's Secretary for Bank? opts. The LORD CuaNcELLort said, there could be no dif ficulty in this ca-.e, and the applicatii.n id' Mr. Glynn was of no use. A commis,ion hasl i. sued against three of these partners, and at first it did not occur to him what was to be done with the loofa]. But he was then informed, that an Act of Parliament had lately passed, which enabled creditors to take out a commission against some of many partners, without barring them from the right of taking out a second commission against the remaining parties, if need should he. This was the very case before him, and the Act of Parliament enabled the two commissions to work as if they were a joint - commission against the whole of the partners. There was no necessity, therefore, for the third com mission. At the same time it might he premature to supersede it, because defects might be discovered in one or both of the first commissions, which would leave this commission of Mr. Seymour as the only valid one. The proper way would be to render this commission inoperative for the present, by staying the proceedings„ s and depositing them in the Secretary office, without prejudice to the right of any creditor to present a pe tition under it. Order—Commission to be stayed, and the proceedings deposited With the Secretary of Bankrupts. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 26. THE KING V. THE HULL DOCK COMPANY. This was an appeal against a rate for the relief of the poor of Hull, on the ground that persons liable to be ated were omitted. These persons were of three classes: first, individuals having property in Hull, but not per sonally resident within its limits; second, the owners of :!Jips registered in the port ; and third, the landlords of 1,01,e5, whose tenants were too poor to pay the rates. The COURT now gave judgment, that the two first classes ought to be included by virtue of a local statute; and that the third class were rightly omitted according to the pi inciples of the common law. They therefore or der the rate to be amended according to their decision. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF RYMER, W. ROE. Mr. Po cr.ocic moved in this case for judgment against the casual ejector. The tenant in possession was the Rev. Alexander Fletcher; and the present motion was made for judgment, although the declaration was not persopally served, on the ground that Mr. Fletcher had evaded the service. On Saturday, the 30th of October, the Attorney for the lessor of the plaintiff called at the 11( , ISe where Mr. Fletcher resided, and requested to see him. The servant went into the house, and returned with a message that Mr. Fletcher would see the party 01 Monday. Upon this, the man was induce Ito with c•aw, and to call on Monday. On this day, Mr. Fletcher called out from an inner room, that he would tot see the person at all, and he left the declaration with a Lady whom he understood to be Mr. Fletcher's sister. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take the rule. Pott.ocx—A rule to shew cause, my Lord ? LORD CHIEF Justice—No; the rule for judgment. THE RING V. CERTAIN JUSTICES OF KENT. :Mr. FRENCH moved for a rule to spew cause why a mar damns should not be issued commanding certain Alagistrater of Kent, to hear a complaint preferred by William Cobbett, the younger, under 3 Geo.IV. against party for taking an illegal toll. Tue Alagi•trates re -I,;sed to hear the information, on an eironeona supposi n that the statute limited the time within which it Tram be preferred to three' , months. The clause on vilich they relied did not apply to the offence itself, but nn rely to the time within which an action must be b, ought for costs.—The COURT granted a rule. ' . THE LATE GALES. CHATHANI, NOVEMBER 26. The late gale:, or rather hurricanes, were very severe in this neighbourhood, trot passed off without the slightest accident to any of the shipping. That noble ship the Prince Regent rode the storm out with appa • rent ease : not so at Portsmouth, as one of the gaard• ships drove a considerable distance up the harbour, dragging the Hulk along with her. Both the convict ships parted their moorings, but were soon secured.— A transport, with troops, drove ashore off Mishit-, in the' gale, but was expected to get off again. PORTSMOUTU, NOVEMBER 25. The gale has totally sub.,ideJ, and the ships on shore are respectively getting their cargoes and stores out. preparatory to attempts being made to get them off. The water is slowly ebbing, but so great was the inun ' dation, that the disastrous effects will be long telt. It may be said that the morass next the town, :he marshes near the Castle, the Salterns and Farlington marshes, almost form a connected shcet of water. The damage at Farlington is incalculable: all the embankments are washed away, and the greatest devastation has been caused. To term some idea of the rush of water that entered these marshes, it is only necessary to say, that the engine-house attached to the water-works was com pletely surrounded. Two vessels were driven over the banks, and several boats passed over the marshes. The gale lasted, it may be said, nearly 30 hours. Its parallel is not remem bered by the oldest inhabitant. The Madra s , on shore in Stoke's Bay, is very much damaged, her main keel being beaten out, and the tide flowing as high within as it does outside; cargo dis charging. The Doncaster, of Newcastle, Marshall, dis charging timber in Portsmouth harbour, from Quebec, was forced on shore by the :hip Spring, and is now on the ground. RAMSGATE, NOVEMBER 25. The Harmonie, Voss, has been got into the basin, after being sufficiently lightened. The Cornelia, Sypkes, remains at the back of the pier, where she will be wrecked; her cargo is landing in a very damaged co,i dition. The Fortuna, Wicklund, and Camilla, Hende lin, sustained damage during the gale, and have been got into the basin to undergo the necessary repairs. About eighty fathoms of one-inch chain, without anchor, said to have been lost from the Mary, of Poole, have been picked up about two miles to the S.S:E. of this harbour, and landed here. SIDMOUTiI, NOVEMBER £3. The dreadful storm of last night, the wind blowing from the southward with a spring tide, has, I fear, reined this beautiful little place, and plunged 'whole families into the deepest distress. There is not one house on the beach which has not been broken into by the sea, all the lower parts being destroyed ; the doors, window•frames, and inner partitions carried wholly off, and the futni. ture ruined. Wallis's Library and billiard-room cons pletely destroyed, and the lower part of his house one bed of shingles. Marsh is also, I fear, ruined. In short, the whole Marine Parade is now a beach of shingle, up to the first Roots of the houses; and the sea rolled with fury about five o'clock this morning into the town, so that the main street, as far up as s ilartis, the grocer's, was only accessible by boats for some hours. The trades people in that street have had all theirgoods destroyed, the water being over the counters. The silk-shop on the Parade was cat ried away altogether, and the small houses belonging to the poor fishermen, just under the cliff, opposite the Chit Rock, were swept away, and the unfortunate inhabitants only escaped with their lives: these poor creatures, to the number of 18 (13 of whom are helpless children)are totally ruined. All tLe boats, fishing-tackle, and bathing-machines, were carried off to sea, except one machine, which was driven up near the Fort-field. In short, it is one heart-rending scene of misery and ruin. I never witnessed anything like it. YARMOUTH ISLF. OF WIGHT NOVEMBER Qs. Captain Mazin, of the Nicolas, arrived at Cowes, re ports having passed a ship bottom upwards yesterday, and a brig dismasted, apparently an American. The papers of the Sally sloop, Match, horn Cherbourg, dated the 22,1 inst. have been picked up; also a boat's stern, marked " John Dow" (remainder effaced), and Neptune. of London," a dog kennel, and a handspike, marked " Neptune." The damage done to this putt is very considerable; the whole of the vessels belonging to it were driven away, and great part of the quay de molished. The tide was higher than ever remembered ; and it is remarkable, that the tide at low water was higher than many tides at high water. A meeting was held at file Guildhall, Plymouth, at )2 o'clock on Wednesday, for the purposz of enter ing into a subscription for the immediate relief of the but ferers from the storms. Notwithstanding the short no tice, the attendance was numerous, and the sum of 801. was immediately subscribed. Among those present at the above meeting was the Bishop of Barbidoes, who subscribed liberally. At Weymouth, the hurricane was dreadful beyond description, the whole of that beautiful promenade the Esplanade, is completely washed away, and the inhabi tants of the houses facing the sea, were obliged to seek shelter elsewhere, as the waves beat up past the seconJ story. The scene of moving the furniture, the wi:id howling and the sea running mountains high, was made complete by the alarm of fire, which seemed inclined to finish that destruction to the town the sea had spared, fortunately only two houses were burnt down, near the late King's statue. Many families have left the town, fearing a repetition of such a miserable scene. We un derstand that several wrecks were seen in the neigh bouring bays. INUNDATIONS ON THE CONTMENT. HAMBURGH, NOVEMBER is. The accounts of the inundations in various parts of Germany continue to be very melancholy. Though we have not had such destructive inundations in our city, yet we have had, this month, continued rough and stormy weather, and very high goods, such as we have not expe:ienced for these 30 gems. On the 3.1 icsrAnt the water rose to the height of 17 feet 9 inches, and on the 15th instant, io that of 19 feet 3 inches, by which a great part of the city was laid under water. Hap pily they both happened in the day time, and the da mage was not considerable; but in the islands in the Elbe very great damage has been caused, especially by the giving way of the dikes. HAARLEM, NOVEMBER 22. The news received to-day from the Lower Rivet state the water to - have fallen three inches at Vianen, and tive and a half at the Grebbe. The accounts from the Upper livers are more favourable. These account are the more agreeable to the inhabitants of a great part of Holland and Uztecht, because, though we are now assured that there is no immediate fear for the north dike of the Lek, it must be owned that a continuance of the high flood might be attended with ruinous con sequences. A breach in" this dike would cause the water to overflow the crack of land betwvel the Donne on the sea -coast ; the Rhine, the hills of A merlOor r, and the Y. The consequences of.which may be appreciated, when we say that the water in the Lek is now, at Wykly-Durnstede, twenty-six or twenty-seven feet higher than the u3.ual water level at Amsterdam, and from forty to fifty higher than the watermark in many of the drained marshes. There is every reason to hope that the water will continue to fall, and that part of the country, and the city of Amsterdam, be saved from so great a misfortune. WALTSBUIIG, NOVEIIIIIF.R 17. The day before yesterday, at 8 o'clock in the morn ing, the Maine rose to the height tf 11 feet 9 inches; yesterday afternon it fell half a foot; during last night it continued to rise, and miv now have attained the height of 20 or 22 feet. All the lower parts of the town are under water, aad are passable only in boats. It is said there has been a water spout near Nuremberg. The town of Weiss.enshurg, in Germany, was above hall burnt down on the night of the 10th inst. NAVAL lATELLIGENCE. Lieutenant Iles•wt.:e, *Master- Warden of Woolwich Dock-yard, is appointeti one o: the Lieutenants of the Royal hospital, at Greenwich, on the vacancy caused by the death of Lieutenant SPEARING, who was the oldest Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, having held that rank sixty-seven years and three months. Ile had lost a leg, but nor in the service of his country, but in a most extraordinary manner. When yosin, he strolled into a wood, where there was a large deep pa, overgrown with bushes: somehow or other he contrived to tumble down, where he remained an iticredibl't Lumber of days, ss ithout the smallest sustinence ; search had been made for him day after day ; he was quite given up for lost, and at last was discovered by some boys nutting, and, when taker. out, was in such a wrerelted stote,Ohat it was found neces sary to amputate nos of his leg:. The situstio:: of Al.ister Warden of Woolwich Dock-yard is given to that g dint and meritorious officer, Lieut. Means, who was Lord NeLson's Aidole-Camp in the battle of Trafalgar, and while in the act of receiving his Lordship's orders cannon shot took off his leg. Lord Nm.son on seeing him carried below, remarked to Captain Hansa , he hoped young litvitas would be provided for ; soon after this Lord NELsoo received his mortal wound. RIVERS, on his arrival in England, was made a Lieutenant, and to the credit of Lord Mat viu.z, he has got a snug appointment on shore, as he has served in several general actions, and was constantly at sea from a very early age, until the peace. - The Flora,Baatityr, from Wikermund, was totally wrested on the coast of Jutland—crew saved. The DisrAxcst sloop of war, was paid off at Chatham on Wed nesday morning, and the crew, just prior to quitting her, presented to the Commander, Captain Scorr, a handsome sword and belt ; and to Lieutenant THURTELL, two epaulets, as a mails of their gra titude for the uniform kindness they have experienced during the time they have served in that vessel. _ _ The ItsucEs, of 28 guns, was paid on Wednesday, and sailed from Chatham on Sunday last. The Hoops, 74 guns, was taken into Chatham Dock on Monday. Lieutenant TeI:KKR, R.N. is appointed Warden of Sheerness Dock-yard, vice Mr. lilac, deceased. The Hope, Mawr., from Malaga to London, has put into Ilfra combe' with damage , and part of her cargo thrown overboard. The following notice was picked up at Gunwallow fishing cove, in Mount's Bay, on the 12. th instant, by a lad named WILLIAM CHINOU/ITII, belonging to that place:—" This bottle was thrown overboard from the James Cropper, Captain MARSHALL, now on her voyage from Liverpool to New York, in lat. 48. 20. North, long. 58. 5. West, all well, out twenty-five days, and experienced a succession of southerly gales and bad weather.

The upper part of the hull of the Richard, WILLIAMSON, is towed into Sullen Pool ; her buttons is left on the rocks. The cargoes and stores of the other vessels now on the rocks, are partly landing, by stages Irons the vessels to the shore, and partly put on board of craft ; every exertion is made to save as much as possible.— There is, however, little probability of any other vessels being got off until next spring tides. The wind and weather continues very favourable for saving goods and stores. FALMOUTH, NOVEMBER 25.—Wind W. N.W.—Arrived N.

The sloop Nancy, of London, has been detained by his Majesty's ship Scour, for a breach of the Revenue Laws, and brought into this port. FlRE.—Last night a tire broke out at the shop of Mr. Upton, a master carpenter in Eagle -street, lied Lion iquare, which, in consequence of the quantity of light wood it contained, and being in the rear of the dwelling, and surrounded by a number of small houses, caused the greatest alarm in the neighbourhood, but particularly for fear the fire should communicate to the timber-yard. The tine raged with great violence for nearly 20 minutes; but the engine 4 baying arrived on the first alarm, and a plentiful supply of water being obtained, the fire was got under without doing any material damage. About two o'clock on Thursday morning, an alarm ing fire broke out in the house of Mr. Thomas, grocer, next to the Ship Inn, Rochester, which, with the whole of the valuable stock, furnitu►e, &c. was eutirely con sumed, and for some time threatened destruction to the immediate neighbourhood, but fortunately being near the water, the Ship engines prevented its further exten sion. The fire, which was discovered by Mr. White, of the Union Coach Office, who was passing, is supposed to have originated from the stove in the cellar, used in drying hams. Saturday ,morning, about seven o'clock, an alarming file brbke out at the Lion and L:unb,S:tooter's-bili, which quickly commu:acated to some a.ijoining tens ments, and the whole were reduced to a heap of ruin, in about an hour. A child, ab, ut twelve years of Age WAS burned to death. MR. TAUNTLEROV. -....z-- This prisoner is now so wholly engrossed by his reli gious duties, that he has deemed it advisable to discon tinue receiving the visits of any persons, with the ex ception of the Clergymen and one or two chosen friends. ' A few Gentlemen were admitted to him in the course of yesterday, for the purpose of taking an eternal leave of him—he was much affected, and could scarcely articu late when he would tender his hest wisEhes for the health aryl happiness of one—his grateful thanks for the exer tions of another in his behalf, aild his heartfelt admira tion of the kindzess and liberalit y of a third, who had pledged himself to act towards his surviving relations in a manner that would in some way mitigate the privations which they were ahant to encounter. Ile ttkoki'care in nu instance to allow these inter views to he of such duration as would have the eff ct of whiii:y breaking down the fortitude with which he had armed himself by means of religious exerciccs. It is yet a mat ter of doubt with him, whether l,;e should allow of a last interview with even those who were most near him. " What," said he, " would be the advantage to be de rived from a scene which must necessarily agonize the hearts of those who participate in it ? It is my duty to approach the awful gate of death with as little ar. pos sible of attachment to, and concern for worldly mat ters ; and why should I, therefore, allow an interview to take place, which will have the effect of disturbing the tranquillity befitting me on the occasion, and re. viving ail my most ardent emotions connected with this world ?" It is needless to say, that the Rev. Ordinary, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Springett, are untemitting in their at tentians. A mow the books which have been placed in the hands of Mr. F. since his conviction, there is none in which he finds mere consolation than in Dr.llodd's cele brated work, the Prison Thoughts. The author of this work was himself condemned for, and made the victim to the crime of forgery. The Thoughts were written in the interval between the conviction and the execution of his sentence, a period of nearly three months. Thaq work, as he himself informs us, in a note which has been preserved in the " Anecdotes of Literature," was not composed consecutively. It was written at intervals, and always under the influence of the sentiment which each passage respectively developes, and without any regard to order or arrangement, or any of t h ose art ificial regulations, which in less critical circumstances might require his observance.

An extraordinary feat of walking was performed at Hull a feW days ago, by a native of Cumberland, only fifteen years of are ; and a brother of his, named M`Mullen, aged eighteen, has tines muck amused and astonished the inhabitants of Hingham by his ex traordinary speed. On Friday last be undertook to walk ten miles in two hours half the distance backwards, which he very easily performed ten minutes within the time. On Monday, be engaged to walk six miles and a half, the half mile retrograde, in one ►our,whick he accomplished three minutes within the given time; although at Intervals he seemed to move very leisurely, at others he went with most extraordinary swiftness. He Is a very likely, straight youth, of prepossessing appearance, and genteel address. He has offered a wager, which none seem inclined to accept, that he will walk eight miles within an hour. BOXING. Intelligence from Warwick states, that Josh Hudson left that town yesterday morning for London. He was in as good spirits as a loser of a stake of £l,OOO could well be. Cannon left Leaming ton on Thursday, after the surgeon had applied the needle and thread to the,gash on the cheek-bone : he is about as mush fit to travel as Josh.
