/ DESTRUCTII IN OF THE ROYAL GEORGE INDTAMAN. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. CANTON, Jam 1, 1826. I doubt not ere you receive this, you have beep made acquainted with the melancholy destruction of our ship' by fire on the mousing of the 24th December; and imagining that you will receive gratification by heat ing the history of it from one. who was an 4e-witness of the awful scene from the beginning to the end, I shall shortly inform you of everything which occurred. 11.awitt the hours of four and five A M. of the 24th December, while asleep in my cot, I was suddenly roused by the cry of" Fire" in the gun room, and leap ing out, I rushed to the steerage, where I found the chief, 3d and 6th. officers, attempting to force open the gratne.; of the gun room scuttle, which was locked and covered with a tarpaulin. There was not at this time much smoke, but the smell was dreaciftilly suffocating, and the crackling of fire was heard distinctly, and the instant the tarpaulin was removed, the smothered flame could be perceived below through the smoke, which began to issue slowly in dense black volumes. The -first impression I felt, let me to hope the mischief would le only partial, and though I imagined consi derable damage might be done, the total destruction of our ship -never crossed my mind as a passibility.— ilut it too soon forced itself upon me. The sudden, sapid, and awful progress of the flames can scarcely be couceived, and is impossible to be described. They burst loth like a mighty torrent, which gati.ers stiength as it rolls on, spreading desolation, mocking human power, and 'sweeping before it • every resistance. In less than ten minutes from the first alarm, we were - driven from the steerage and the poop, and the whole of the afterpart of the ship was in a blaze ; naked as we were; we flew upon deck ; the whole of the ship's com pany had previously been roused, and every man was at his post, exerting every energy to repel the fury of the devouring element. So rapid wete its ravages, that even at this period we had received no assistance, for, although the alarm bell was rung, and the boats f the Scaleby Castle and other ships' had put off with the greatest and most praiseworthy promptitude, they were unable to get alongside, until the, flames were rushing np the after hatchway, and had burnt through the mizen stays. The interval of time which elapsed, just before their arrival, was perhaps the most awful of the whole .• trying scene. A partial explosion of gunpowder had taken place in the gun room; the spirit room had burst ; the fire was making quick-and sure progress between • : the lower decks, and had seiz:•d upon the rigging ; and the Hoppo man, in freeing himself from his fastenings, had.cut our boats adrift also, so that wesaw them float ing slowly down with the tide, leaving us almost with out hope of escape or succour, and with the prospect before 6s of a speedy and terrible destruction. This was an awful moment—it seemed an eternity of time. • I cannot describe the feelings of others,- indeed I can scarcely recall my own, but I can recollect my tongue felt dry, and rattled in my mouth, that I could scarcely as ticvlase as I tried to encourage the men around me, and that .1 drank greedily from the fire bucket as I handed it along. Yet even in this moment of despair, no man shrank from the hopeless labour in which he was engaged, but continued to struggle boldly with the, resistless eltment. • It was not yet fifteen mi flutes .slece the first alarm. and the boats of the Scaleby . Castke, and other ships above us in the reach, now got , alongside, - those from below having to row against• a strong tide, .arrived at a later period; but • all of them did whatever could have been expected from the unponqberable bravery sof British seamen. .The greatest Order - and regularity was observed by our own men, as'wel/ as by the boats' crews which came to our aid. ' 'While some were employed in getting the postider . f ont the magazine aud throwing it overboard, and tome in slipping the "ships' bridles, others were en gaged in protracting by every possible means the work of total destruction, which was now too apparently without a remedy. At last, about 6 A.SI4 only an hour and a half after the fire was discovered, every effort having been made in vain to subdue the flames, which bad now seined on every part of the ship, and advanced so near the. magazine as the bulk-head of the lazaretto, the danger being eminent, it was resolved by the com maadiagi Officer, with the advice of Captain Delafens, who had ;trine on board, to abandon her to her fate, a,od. seek only the safety of the crew. Accordingly, iheausier being given, the men went regularly into their-bnats,,the last of which had not left the ship '5OO yartivvehen she blew up with a tremendous noise, scat teting far and wide her blazing fragments. This ,teciind explosion, though it tore up the forecastle, was bowover, only partial,and was occasioned most probably by three or four barrels cf powder, which those ern played in the magazine were forced to leave on the 'gun deck when called to forsake • the ship. As she .dropped Majestically down with the tide, her hull in one complete blaze of fire, and every mast, yard, sail and rope bugling, the sight was awfully grand and sub lime, but'at the same time to us heart-breaking. There was a noble ship, which bad carried us safely so far from home, through so many dangers, which we ex pected would have conveyed us so soon and safely back again to the shores of Ord England, and which so lately claimed not only our praise, but the admiration of all who saw her. There she was dropping helplessly away, piece by piece, into that element over which she had so lately floated insplide and splendour, the prey of anr,ther and a more terrible one. Thus affording a sad and melancholy ex ample of the transitory nature of all earthly things. Her .bridles bad been slipped, as I have mentioned above, with the purpose of sunning her on shore; but that in tention having failed, from the rapidity of her destruc tion, she dusted past the Honourable Company's ship Windsor, at about the distance of a cable length, and at last took the ground about a mile below leer former anchorage, her mainmast still standing. Finally. about 7 A. at. the magazine exploded, completely tearng out her bows; the hull, already consumed to the water's 'edge, parted abreast ; the foremast and mainmast fell, burnt to a cinder, and sine of the finest ships of her class in the whole world had become a shapeless mass of smoking ruins. • Most providentially, during the whole progress of this awful catastrophe, not a single life was legit; and it• was only owing to the rapacity of the Chinese having overcome their fear of death, that human blood was abed towards its final conclusion. Tempted by the , hope of plunder, they ventured near the wreck, and •Wera engaged in stripping the copper from her bows, not aware of the powder s ill remaining in the magazit,e, which suddenly explodings and c ruying "ell "A b 6" ir, killed and wounded rpwards of tavelny;•, • If* grader part of Our crow was receive ,) co board the Honourable Company's ship Scaleby Castle, in the kindest and most hospitable manner by the - Officers of that ship, who appeared to strive vith eachother for the pleasure of soothing our misfortines, and rendering our foilorn situation more comfertible ; net was their benevolence confined to myself antil brother officers .alone, under the immediate suparin— tendar c' of Captain Nzwar.r., the meanest sailor was clothed and fed, and comforted most libera l ly.' No one has saved a single articleoutof all they pos- ' sessed ; every thing the ship contained was destroyed, even to her papet a. Our sails were bent, and sea votes nearly completed. We had 8090 chests of the Com pany's tea on board, besicits private trade, and we were to have dropped down the river in two days, to com plete our cargo at Second Bar; but ship, and cargo, stasl every thins else is gene, and we consider ourselves fortunate, though nearly naked and destitute, in having escaped with our lives out of this dreadful and distress- ing calamity. No trace of the cause of it has yet been discoveted, although the select Committie, at ihe re quest of Captain TitsfSms, have been endeavouring to investigate the matter by the strictest enquiry—all agree it must have been burning for hours before it was I discovered : the moment the tarpaulin was removed, and a current of flesh air suppled, the flames burst forth beyond all human controul. Our ship is lost, totally lost : further than this we know nothing, if 1 " except the sad . conviction that our proudest hopes and fondest expectations are buried in the wreck of our good, but unfortunate ship, the Royal George. Our poor Captain, at the time of the accident, lay dangerously ill at Canton, and the news of it, as might have been expected, reduced him to the last extremity. For some days little hope was entertained of his reco very, but I am happy to say he is now out of danger, and I trust he has yet many happy years to live. He has been to us all along not only an able and skilful Commander, but a kind, affectionate, and liberal father ; and it might have melted the most obdurate heart, to have seen him, even when his own dissolution was thought to be approaching, exerting himself, far be. yond his feeble strength, and spending almost his last breath, in carving out schemes for the future welfare of his poor suffering Officers and crew," as he kindly terms us, forgetti•lg, in the goodness of his heart, that he himself is far the greatest sufferer. APPEALS. HOUSE OF LORDS r MAT 1. FLETCHER V. SONDIS. This case is a long time before the public. The er cumstances respecting it are briefly these :—ln 1814, Lord Sondes presented the plaintiff to a living of which he was Patron, and bound him over in a bond of '12,0001. to resign when either of his younger brothers (who were then minors) should be capable to accept of the living. In 1820 the ycungest brother of Lord Sondes being in such a state of capacity, application was made to the plaintiff to resign, but he refused; whereupon Lord Sondes brought an action on the bond, and. the Jury returned a verdict against him with special damages. Against this verdict the Rev. Mr. Fletcher appealed to the House of Lords, who ordered the following question to be submitted to the twelve Judges for their opinion—viz. " Whether there was sufficient matter on record to show that there had been a simoniacal contract between the parties, and that the bond was thereby void by the statute cf Elizabeth re• specting such contracts." All of the Judges, except the three Puisne Judges of the Co l on of Kiog's Bench, sat this day in the House of Lords to deliver their opinions on the subject. Mr. Justice GASZLEE said, that there being a differ ence of opinion among the Judges on this subject, it was his duty, according to the custom on such occasions, to express his opinion first. He felt some difficulty in expressing himself differently from his Learned Bre thren; but after minute deliberation, he should declare in linthre, that the bond in question was not void either' by the statute or common law. Before the decision in, the case of the " Bishop of London v. Fitch," bonds of gene:al resignation were held legal. Since that time the law had been" otherwise, though the general opinion in Westminster Hall was opposed to that decision. Lord Kenyon said, that if the question should come again before the House of Lords, he was sure their Lordships would revise it. The present case did nct come within the statute of Elizabeth, as neither money, reward, nor benefit was given for the presentation. To resign in favour of a younger brother could not be construed into benefit, as the patron was not bound to provide for him. Bonds of special resignation were never held to be illegal unless they came expressly within the statute. At common law even, bonds of general resignation were always held good. Tne Learned Judge cited "Lee v. Lewis," " Felix v. Rolle," " Charles v. Locke," in Croke, James, to shew that special bonds of resignation in favour of sons and distant relations, had been held valid; and alluding to the public policy of encouraging the practice, he said, that if the case were new,he might be influenced from public motives to give a different opinion ; but since it had been the law these 200 years, he could not reconcile it with his duty to deviate from it in this barticular instance. He therefore thought that there was not sufficient matter on record' to invalidate the bond in question. Mr. Baron HULLOCK differed widely from his Learned Friend. The bond had been given in consideration of the presentation ; the: efore, though not expressly, it was by inference within the statute rf Elizabeth. It had been decided in several instances that any security given to evade a statute came within the statute: this was evidently one of that kind, for the bond had been given for the consideration of being present , d to the living, and every presentation not gratuitous was corrupt, therefore simoniacal. It differed from a bond of gene ral resignation in the degree of benefit, but not in its nature or operations: therefore it should be judged by the same principle as that of " the Bishop' of Lond-n v. Fitch. In all the decisions that had taken place respecting bonds of special resignation, the statute of Elizabeth never came before the Court. To support such bonds would be inconsistent with public policy ; when the contingent should happen, it would make the Rector a tenant at will, liable to be deprived esf his living if he did not do what the Patron pleased. Tue interest of the public eequired that the incumbent should have a freehold in his rectory ; it would render trim more independent. If the consent of the Or.iinary was necessary for a resignation, and that it should be refuted, would not the Rector, io case the bond was legal, be obliged to pay the amount and keep the diving ? How could this be distinguished in its ope rations from a purchase of the presentation? The learned Judge concluded by saying, that by the com mon laws and the stature the bond was word. Basins GA HOW and G Alta SI, JUstiteg BUR itOUOll and PAKK, delivered their opinions to the same effect. ' It being • five o'clock, the Loma CHAVCRLLOR move) that the Honor adjourn till two o'clock (this day), to hear the opinions of the Chief Justices of the King'i Bench and Coln/non Pleas, and of the Chief 8..r0n. '• , GLASGOW, APRIL IP. - . • MELANCHOLY LOSS' OF A FISHING BOAT. Monday forenoon, as one of the Pei ryden (Montrose) fithing boats, with a crew of six men, was passing through Lustan Bay, for the former place, with a heavy sea running, and the wind blowing fresh from the N.W. she *as struck by a sea on the broadside and swamped, when five of her crew were instan ly drowned. 11 , ,e situation of the bait being observed by t''.e crew of the Preventive -Coast Guard stationed at Red Castle, they, with a praiseworthy alacrity, manned their boat and. proceeded to tender assistance. On reaching the fish ing boat, they found'her bottom . up, and one man in a state of insensibility clinging with the grasp of death to the keel (all the other five having disappeared). They tcok him into their boat, but by the time they reached the short the vital spark had fled, and all attempts to restore animation totally failed. fly tir:s melancholy event five widows (some of whom are in an advanced state of pregnancy) and tweotrone children, are deprived of their husbinds and fathers, and with them of the weans of their daily subsistence. One woman has lost a husk and, a son, and a brother, and two of the other women who are deprived of their husbands are sisters, who also had a brother among the sufferers. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 1. THE KIM? W. THE JUSTICES OF THE CiUNTY OP wAnuloc. Mr. &Ant Err last term obtained a rule calling on the Justices of the Peace for the county, of Warwick, to show cause why they should not pay one of the coro ners of that county for bis travelling expenses for attend ing certain inquisitions therein held by him. Mr. BROUGHAM now appeared to show cause against the rule, and admitted that by statute tl,e coroner was, for every inquisition, entitled to the sum of 20s. and the further sum of 9d. for every m le which he shall travel from the place of his abode to the place where the in quisition shall be Laken. In this instance he had tra velled from Coventry to Birmingham, for the purpose of taking one inquisition, and for that he bad been ;Mowed his fee of 20s. and the 91 per mile travelling expenses ; but whilst at Birmingham he had taken two more inquisitions, and though the payment of his fee was not disputed for either of them, it was contended that he was not entitled to his travelling expenses for the two last inquisitions the same as if he had been com pelled to take a separate journey for each of them. Under this impression the charge had been withstood, and it was submitted the Court would discharge the rule..- 1 Rule discharged. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. BROUOMAM opposed a rule calling on the Pub lishers of the English Gentleman Newspaper to shew cause why a criminal information should not be tiled against them for an alleged libel on Mr. Rothschild. The objectionable at ticle imputed to Mr. it ,thsclaild the withdrawing of a large sum of money glom certain Bankers during the panic. The statement was wholly without foundation. The Com after hearing the arguments of Mr. Baonoswe and Mr. Ifovr , enlarged the rule with respect to two of the defendants, and made it absolute against the supposed author of the libel. THE MAYOR OP TR!QONY. The COURT was moved to enlarge a rule for an at tachment against the Mayor of Tregony for not obey. ing a peremptory mandamus. The mandamus was obtained by Mr. SCARLETT, in consequence of some irregularity at an election in tee Borough of Tregony. The Gentleman to whom it was directed kept away from the Borough after notice had been served at his house, and the rule for an attachment was obtained. The Coos: were of opinion that there was not sufficient ground to enlarge the rule, and therefore it was made absolute. SECONDARIES' COURT. DUBOIS V. GODEFROY. This was an action brought by Stephen Dubois, a poor silk-weaver, residing in Pelham street, Spitalfields, against Mr. Godefroy, a skein silk-dyer, living in the same neighbourhood. It appeared that Mr. Peter Godsftoy is a wealthy skein silk-dyer, residing in Pel ham -street, and that on the 29th of July list, about half-past six o'clock in the afternoon, as James Dubois, one of the plaintiff's children, %as playing near his father's door, in Pelham -street, where they reside, on the curb-stone of the pavement, the defendant (Mr. Godefroy) drove his chaise, or gig, it a furious rate down the street. The wheel of the gig passed over the body of the child. The child was very seriously butt, and it was necessary to call in the assistance of a medi cal man, under whose hands the child remained for a considerable time. The doctor's bill was paid by the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff's wife was, from her attendance at the bed of the child, unable to attend to her loom for three weeks. Her husband and family lost the benefit of her services, which were worth ten shillings a-we. k. One Regan stated, that he was present when the gig passed over the body of the child. lie said it would have been impossible for even the most active person to avoid the gig, it was corning down at ouch at rate. The child, alter the accident happened, was brought into his apartments, and was bleeding lions differs it wounds in the head. He was al.o much injured about the body. Charles Paul, a weaver, was also present at this accident. He stopped the gig, and got from Mr. Godefroy his card. The Jury. after a few minutes' consultation, found a verdict fee the Plaintiff —Damages 1.51. At the Glasgow Circuit Court on Thirsday, Thomas Mikenna and Dennis Murphy, for house-breaking and theft, were sentenced to be hanged - on the 14th of June next-. Charlet Campbell, found guilty of killing his wile, was, at the same time, pronounced to be insane, and was ordered to be confined in Glasgow gaol kr life, or until the Court should order his liberation. Friday,the prisoners in the gaol of Ayr, made their escape, with the exception . of one man under sentence of transportation for life. The total number who left was twelve, of whom eight have been re-captured. Those who still remain at large, ate Francis Doneatie, James Nim,no, George Carmidrae/, and teorge lane. Ttey are all under sentence of banishment, the first for life, and the others forloui teen years. The three poor children who lost their lives at tht late f.re in Vere-street, were yesterday buried in cne grave, in the bulial ground, in Portugal-street. Mr. Hawkins, who also lost his life at. tile same time, was buried in a grave near them. The Duke of WELLINGTON is said to have affirmed at Berlin that the fall of Mitsoloaghi would not decide the fate of i Greece. SPORTING INTF,LLIGF_NCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTF.RSALI:S, MAT 1. A very crowded attendance during the whole of the afternuor, but the settlement of the bets oil the week's racing engrossed tt.e attention of all for a considerable time; when the indispensable business was al raneed, and very large sums had exchanged pockets, the betting commenced, but was far from being heavy; indeed. except at intervals, it was very languid... The odds un the Derby have settled themselves, but in a shape which was not generally expected. The General was backed very freely, and it is princi pally by those who stand very heavy against him. The Mask= rose to be second favourite, but was not backed to a large amounts Dervise and Advance are also looking up. Very little was done on the Oaks and St. Leger.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL T. Hatt (a boy), J. Gabby, and F. Godfrey, were finally examined, the former charged with robbing his master, Mr. Francomb, Leg horn and straw hat warehouseman, Nesvgate-street, of property to a large amount, and the two latter with inciting him thereto, and receiving the property. Mr. Francomb stated, that he had extracted all the particulars of the several transactions front Ilart himself, whuwaa willing to turn King's evidence. He was about to repeat the confession, when Mr. Humphreys, for the prisoner, objected that such a statement could not be heard, because it could not be received as evidence, and the otojection was allowed. Mr. Francomb again pressed that Hart should be made a witness, as, otherwise, he could prose nothing against the others; and it would be shocking to suffer a gang to escape, who had caught an acquaintance with a tradeinsau's errand-boy., for the purpose of seducing him to rob his master. The Aldermatt(Grom), however said, he had not the power to admit him a witness; and the boy, nut choosing to implicate his accomplices unconditionally, was committed for stealing a hez of goods worth 3GI. which he was to carry to an ior ' hut which be surrendered to one Cleghorn; while Gobby and Godfrey were discharged. BOW-STREET. Issies /Nana was charged with stealing a gold watch, a dtantencl pin, and other articles in the House of Mr. Davies, a jeweller, in Southampton-street, itrand. Wednesday week the poisoner called at Ik. Davies's, and said he wanted a diamond pin made for him. Some patterns were shewn him, and he fixed upon one ' • but in the course of conversation he said, as a medical student, he was in the habit of assisting at dissections, and he thought the shank of the pin might be inconvenient to him : a brooch, he said, would proba bly suit hitst better. Mr. Davies said be was of the same opiniOn, and added, that in a few days he shouki have a better assortment of that article, and perhaps he would do bins the favour to call again: In this he readily acquiesced, and yesterday se`nnight he .called again, selected a brooch and one or two other trilling articles, and said he was living with Mr. Ilendy, a surgeon its Waterloo-road, one of whose cards be produced, and perhaps Mr. Davies would be good enough to send his purchases there, and they would be instantly paid for. As he was leaving the room, he seemed. suddenly to recollect himself, and said he had almost fgott.eta that he should like to look at tome patterns of mourning sings- Mr. Davies went to another part of the house to procure them, leaving one of his daughters in the room with the prisoner. While. he was gone, the prisoner told Miss Davies it had just occurred to him that he had a most particular engagement. that it was theta past the hour of appointment, and tha: Mr. Davies could bring the patterns with him when he called with the other things ; he ineti left the house. Mr. Davies thought this sudden departure rather singular. but suspected nothing wrong, and went to Mr. Iteudy's house with his goods, where he learned that there was no such per. son living there, but that a young man, exrctly answering the de. scriptien as to person, had called there that morning to NtreXaw some article, and had takeu away one of Mr. Hensly's cards. Mr. Davies hastened home, and then found that he had been robbed of a gold watch, and the other articles mentioned, whi:h werr lying oat a glass case chase to where the prismirr stood, and no person wept Mr. ws family had been in the room but the prisoner. Miss, avies had observed him draw his hand hastily across the case on her turn ing round to look at him. Mr. Davies repaired to several hasus•A in the trade, and put them on their guard ; and on Wednesday the prisoner wont to a jeweller's in Clerketiwell with a similar story, and being desired to call again in the evening, notice was given to Mr. Davies, and on the.prisoner's second appearance he was appre. hended. In defence be said be knew nothing of the transaction, and was remanded till Wednesday. NEWGATE ANo LICA DENH ALL MARKETS, Al*sr 1.
