At the Guildhall, at Plymouth, last week, a man of colour, who gave his name John Thomas, and repre sented himself to be -the father of the two children lately rescued from a booth in Plymouth Fair, appeared before the Magistrates, to know their determination in respect to the two unfortunates. He said he was born a free black in Jamaica, that he went to sea at twenty years of age, but after some years he left the sea and became a labourer in the London Docks. He had recently been in the habit of unveiling the country with tracts. He was of the Roman Catholic persuasion, and was married at Cork, in 1803, to an Irishwoman, also a Roman Catholic; that he had three children by his wife, one of whom was dead, the other two were the boy and girl now in the Workhouse, who were born in the parish of St. George, is the borough of Southwark, from which pariah his wife received relief when lying in; that his %di died in January last, when the two children were placed under the care of his wife's sister, in London, and since that time, until within a few days, he had heard nothing of them, nor was he before aware that his sister-in-law had sold the children to Sanger. .In answer to some questions that were put to him, he said, he had been looking for the children for the last nine months, and on hearing that they were at Plymouth, he had appeared to claim them as his offspring. The Magistrates, after a short deliberation, decided that he was unfit to be trusted with the care of the children, and they ate, therefore, to remain in the Workhottse until it it decided to what parish they belong, when an Order will be issued accordingly. .

This was an action to recover from the defendants the sum of SU. which they had received in behalf of the plai tiff, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence, that in the month .1 May last, the plaintiff,• Colonel Meyrick, sent a horse to the defendants' stables, to be sold by them by public auction, without being warranted. On the day of the sale Mr. Anderson, the horse•dealer, who board a steam-v - essel in the River, for Gravesen d, on route to Chat ham.

A Detachment belonging to the East India Company's Service, embarked this morning on board a steam-vessel is the River, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham. was 'one of the bidders, publicly inquired of the de fendants if the horse was warranted, and was answered in the negative. The horse was then purchased by Mr. Angerstein for eighty-four pounds • but was re turned the following day, lame. Colone l Meyrick re fused to take back the horse, and gave the defendants notice not to return the price to Mr. Angerstein. Mr. A. gave them notice not to pay the money over to the plaintiff, but to return it to him, which they had done, Mr. Angerstein giving them an indemnity. It was ad mitted for the defence, that no blame attached to Messrs. Tattersall, who had not warranted the horse ; but it was contended that Mr. Angerstein had been induced to purchase the horse by the representation of a man who was employed by Cot. Meyrick to a•tend the horse, and who had represented him to be perfectly sound. The LORD Cain JUSTICE stated that the representa- tions of this man were not binding, unless it could be, shewn that he was authorized by Colonel Meyrick to' sell the horse. Messrs. Tattersall were the only persons employed by Colonel Meyrick, to act as his agents for . the sale of the horse, and they had expressly deilared that the horse was not warranted, the plaintiff was therefore entitled to a verdict. Verdict for the plalotiff—Damages 841. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 7. , NOTTIO Or COLOMIL GEORG* MOIONIVII LOW, mussesurss: Yesterday Mr. Coons moved for a Rule to be served upon the above.named Insolvent, fer him to thew cause why he should not be brought up before the Court to be re-exAmitted touching his estate and effects,and also why in the mean time his discharge should not be stayed. The Learned Gentleman stated, that the Insolvent was last before the Court on the Bth of June in the present year, when be was remanded for eight calendar months from the date of his petition, at the suit of Mr. S . . Cox, a horse4eider; in Stamford-street, for having, by. frau dulent and false representations contracted a debt of eighty guineas with him. The Court would remember that the representations were, that the insolvent stated himself to be a General in the army, and that he was in the receipt of the interest of 10,0001. annuity, through the medium of Messrs. Hodson and Stirliog, in the Strand; but that, owing to their (then) recent embar rassment, be was unable to receive his half. yearly divi dend. Believing these representations to be as true as they turned out to be false, Mr. Cox was induced to take a bill at two months fey 841. which was disho. 'soured, and the insolvent in consequence was arrested. Mr. Coosa said, that he grounded his application Upon several affidavits, which related to a recent dis covery made, and which excited a strong suspicion that the Insolvent was in possession of considerable property at the time of his discharge. As the term of the Insol vent's imprisonment had nearly expired, be (Mr. Cooke) trusted that the Court would also grant a Rule to stay the discharge. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, that with regard to the discharge being stayed, the Court could not inter fere, because they had already directed an order to . the keeper of the prison to discharge the insolvent at the expiration of a given period. The Court, however, would entertain the other part of the application, and grant a rule nisi. The insolvent's Counsel will sow ems against the rule ea Mas i day next. A Board of the Lords of the Treasury was held on 'Tseatiay, at the Treasury Chaathen.

The barracks at Milford are likewise to be enlarged, to receive a strong detachmedt of the Welsh Fusileers. By accounts from Boston (U. S.) we learn that the manufacturers of woollen goods were about to petition Congress for an additional duty to be laid on the woollen goods imported from England. The petitioners allege that "Experience has shewn that under ordinary circum stances woollen goods can be manufactured in Boston cheaper than imported," and that the cause of their present depression is on account of being obliged to compete with a distressed population, who work for the most trifling pittance at the tune the English market is overstocked.
