The deep channel or gully which renders this river so re markable, is very contracted, but we were unable to obtain bottom by sounding, owing either to its extreme deptb, or to the effect of the stream. The water of the river is much purer at this, than at the op. posite season • it was found perfectly fresh hi veins for some eon. sidetable &tine* without the points which fain the river's entrance. The barometer, dozing our stay, ranged between 30, 50, and 30. SS; but it was generally quiescent at about 30. 30; temper - - atare of the atmosphere 85.5. to 79; the river 80, with little variation. We left the Zaire on the sth of January, and pro ceeded northward down the coast. I parted from it with extreme regret, for notwithstanding every object recalled painful recollections, it is, and has long been, my chief .wislr to be employed in q second attemyt to di:.c.,ver the soUrca of this mysterious stream. On the 7th - we . reached Cabenda; a convenient little by-way much frequented by the Portuguese and Span ish slave traders, who are in the custom of sending ti.eir boats up the Zaire and along the coast to trade, while they remain here. It supplies stock, but is somewhat high. Between Cabsticia and Cape Lopez, a number of small places occur, where both ivory and blues are purchased. The principal i -..en at Cape Lopez is the largest and most cAnpact we have yet observed among the native settlements. It is a place of very considerable tra.'e, and its comaiodities are more plentiful and varied than else • where, southward. The Fetish jugglery exists here in all its absurdity, and an exhibition which occurred during our stay afforded much amusement to some of our party ; it was quite equal to anything Punch and Judy could have done. of the appointment by commission of the court. If the county court . bill shall pass, the judges to be appointed in each county under it would be no less unescepti,,n able than conveniently situated, for the performance of the duty of assesors; and jurors would be in mead -ince on the court days, and the calling them together by a special summons rendered unnecessary. If this cour s e should be adopted, the solicitors for Vie I parties should respectively furnish the assessor with the allegata on either side proposed to be proved, and, if required, a brief of the pleadings; and each side should go through his case as on a trial at law. The authority for the proceeding may either be a commission or' writ of inquiry ; and the finding and return would be in the form of a special verdict,. certi. fying the allegata proved, or facts found, on either side, abstaining from a ty inference therefrom. It has been suggested that a less number of jurors than twelve (say five or seven) might as well, or better answer the end, and lessen the burthen Avon jurors; but to this t here may be a popular, if not other objections. 4 If the County Court Bill should not pass, a certain number of commissioners or asuman (resident barri;tere in each county), might be nominated by the Court to be appointed in each com mission, and any one of them called upon to act at the instance of the prosecuting party. _ _ _ Node , is hereby further given, that hs cam the add parties shall not purchase tbe Rents payable by them rospecdvaly, on or before the Ist day of March next, the Commissioners= IllorigAol afterwards to dispose of the Sante by PoMk A 4BOUt - TH .

This last question was referred to the Lord Mayor, Alder men„and Common Council, to state the custom of Lou. ,don in this respect; who having, in the usual form, cer tified in the affirmative, by the mouth of their Recorder, the Vita CHANCIitLoN after again hearing counsel for plaintiff and defendant, gage it as his' judgment, that the settlement, though it would be a bar to dower in lands, would not affect the Lady's claim to a moiety of her husband's personal property, to which, as the widow of ,freeman, site was entitled.

We left Loando St. Paul ou the 19. h Dec. last. This place, from the water, has an ininsing aspect. Its fortifications are good, and the garish it has lately been improved. in order to oppose anyittempt of the Brazilians. Among the Portuguese military ate many who served in the Peninsula war, and in that school obtained a character which did not previously belong to them. This port still sends vast nuinberrof slaves to &nth- America; 24 vessels were lying Ate'ffr - for cargoes of this commodity.• Two of ilieth.Ailfid during our stay. • On the 25th December we arrived off the Month of the Zaire, or Congo, but were unable to enter the river • until the Ist January, on account of the strong outset of the current round the south entrance of the river, though we were frequently favotired with powerful 'Aids. On the above day, however, the tide, together with a strong breeze operating against the stream, enabled us to run up as far as convenient, and we anchored off Sherwood's Creek, in about the Congo's second anchorage on her ascent op the river ; and very near where the indefati gable Professor Smith, who died in the Congo expedi tion, was interred. We were not high enough, or Analficiently near to Embomma, to meet with any of our particular friends but the Chenoo Cangi ; N.

He knew me perfectly well, and he produced, with a variety of others, - •chiefly Portuguese, a certificate written and given him by the lamented Hawker, Lieutenant of the Congo. It was in a very mutilated condition, and I renewed it for him in the former name, villeins the cause, dec. 1 made the Chenoo some s mall presents, in token of remembrance and friendship, and be returned me a duck and some Indian corn. -He staid on board till the vessel was getting under way, and on leaving, very narrowly escaped a serious accident froin the c4p sten bars.

The fol lowing are - the most material and important of the Papers which it contains : PAPER-DELIVERED IN BY ML FORSTER. DIFFERENT MODES OF TAKING PAROL EVIDENCE. The mode suggested'in the answer to Question 56, is founded on the supposition of the continuance. of the habit of laying the evidence, instead of the facts proved before the Court. It has been considered that one com petent examiner, either of the appointment of the Court or the Master, is preferable to a greater number chosen in the usual way by the parties ; and that leaving it to the parties td 'state the facts or case they mean to prove, and examine the witnesses, subject to cross examination by the opposing party (as in a Court of Lai) is out of all question preferable to the exhibition of written in . - terrogatorie , .. Another mode which has been deemed preferable by opinions of great weight, is that of the appointment of two examines s of the degree of a Barrister, of suffi cient standing, of the nomination of the Court; the oae to be instructed and take the examinations on the part of the plaintiff; .the other on the part of the defendant. The examinations to be vivii.voce, in the presence of both; and the witnesses subject to mutual cross-exami nation: afid each to take down the depositions of the witnesses, on his :Lie. - Whether the questions put to the witnesses, as well as their answers, or the latter only, should be returned, is a matter for . consideration. A third mode is by. three Commissioners ; two (bar risters of the above description) al the election of the parties, anda third of the appointment of the Court or Master, proceeding la itbove, and the third Commis sioner Vting . -SUP uprise .

A sixth (and that which in the humble opinion of the writer claims the preference) is a trial by ae-shorirs jury, before a competent judge, sitting as an assessor, INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jura Gasper James Rudolph Eschman was opposed by htr. HEATH, on behalf of two creditors—namely, Mt. B a l. foar, si silk merchant, if Mr. Ewens, a baker. The insolvent had been before the Court en a former day, when it appearing that he had previously taken the benefit of the act within the period of five years, his case was Adjourned generally, to obtain the consent of three ' fourths of his creditors. Failing in this, he now sought Ito obtain his discharge, on the ground that his present debts had been incurred thruh inevitable misfortune, whereby the consent of three - f ourths of his creditors was rendered unnecessary. It being proved, however, that the debt to Mr. Ewens had been contracted by inducing him to cash a bill, which he understood from the in solvent bad been received by the latter for valuable consisleaticin7liut which turned out to be a mere accom• isiodation bill, it was held by the_Court, after hearing an ingenious address from Mr. Cams, in support of the insolvent, that the debt not having been incurred in a fair manner, he had failed to establish such a case of innocent misfortune as the Act Contemplated, and there fore his petition was ordered to be dismissed. Henry d. Pricker, whose caw stool over until he shookd deliver op possession of a house to his landlord, came up again today; bat it appearing that, although be bad since consented to give up the house, all the fixtures had been removed and disposed of, his charge was further postponed until the Males be restored. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH, JOLT S. 81111111 11. Roo ' Procurator-Fined of the Justice of Peace Court of Roxburghshire (Jedborgh District). Mt. Sheriff, a Gentleman, resident in the neigboor hood of Jedburgh, in October last, ordered a small cask otapirits from Edinburgh, which was accordingly sent by the carrier, with an Excise permit, and left on a Saturday night at a toll bar near Mr. Sheriff's residence. No notice, however, was sent to Mr. Sheriff of tbe ar rival of the cask, till Sunday afternoon, when he was also informed that the time allowed in the permit for delivery would expire on the Monday. Mr. Sheriff, dreading a seizure by the Excise, and the possibility of his being found liable in a penalty, in the afternoon lent his servants to bring home the cask, which, after some opposition by a constable in the 'neighbourhood, was accordingly effected. Information was then given by the constable to the Procurator fiscal, who, being actuated, it would seem, by rather more seal than dis cretion, laid a complaint against Mr. Sheriff, for a breach of the Sabbath, before the Justice of Peace for the Jed burgh•District, and obtained a edriviction against him for a penalty of 101. Scots, under certain old Scots statutes against Sabbath breaking ! Mr. Sheriff, being dissatisfied with the judgment of the Justices, brought the cause by advocation before the Court of Justiciary, pleading in justification,that his sole object in removing the cask on the Sabbath was to protect his property, and avoid a breach of the Excise laws. The Corm, after bearing Counsel anima sides, without express ing any opinion as to whether thew statutes were in dearetarie, bet, front the total hrsigularky of the proceedings of Reid. he Find s and the District Justices, advocated die esase, sod assollsied the defender, Mr. Sherif.
