The Commander, Mae, and passengers got safe on sbote, but eight oldie crew perished. remained an the Island, exposed to the cold and rain, undl the Bth of November, bn which day the carpenter and three or four of the crew embarked in a small punt, made out of the wreck with surgical instruments, which were thrown on shore, and reached Tristan d'Acuulta, where they procured two whaloisosts, and brought those that remained ou Inaccessible Island away. On the 9th of January a brig, from the Brazils, put into Tristan d'Acunha for water, and took them all away; and, on the' 18th of January, they arrived safe at the Cape. The carpenter and boatswain were sent home in the Phoenix. Captain Gam was waiting for one of the Com pany's ships, which were hourly expected when the Phoenix sailed, 2d of February. During the time they were on the Island they had no food but penguins and their eggs. Out of some bales of Cloth washed on shore, they made tents ; an iron buoy, sawed in two, was their only cooking utensil. They were for four days exposed to heavy rains and intense cold, before they could procure fire. The Ladies and passengers suffered severely, nothing beinicsaved but the clothes they wore, thoship going to pieces in two hours after she struck. Captain Gaines and eon were in perfect health on the 2tl of February." Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Captains were sworn into the com mand of their respective ships, vit.—Captain SAMUEL LYON, to the Dorsetshire ; and Captain Gamma STays.ws, to the Cold stream, consigned to Bengal direct.

We do not hear any news from that quarter later than the American Papers brought, of the European troops being shipped off. It is stated in an American Paper, that, since the death of Christophe, a very alarming and pernicious change has taken place at Hayti, both in regard to commercial transactions as well as those which should, under the existing Government, contribute to the welfare of its subjects. Confidence is destroyed, and swindling has taken its place. Nearly every port charge is doubled, as Well as all duties; one dollar per ton (tonnage duty) is now exacted in lieu of 50 cents. Several vessels have sold their cargoes to swindlers, and have now been kept waiting four months. If you have recourse to law and the tri bunal decides in your favour, the defendant is or dered to pay in 30 days (if a resident), bet at the ex piration of that time, if he says he is unable to pay, 60 days extension of time is given : if still unable to pay, is allowed six months and so on, until finally the plaintiff is glad to come off without anything, be brought in for costs of Coma, -and the swindler suffered, without molestation, to proceed on again.

SHACICHLI, ARROW' SMITH, AND WHATICIt• `This was an action brought by Mr. Aide-min WAITHMAN against the defendant; who are the Printers, Proprietors, &c. of the John Bull Sunday Newspaper, to recover a Compensation In damages 'for injury sustained by, the publication of a libel in their paper, imputing to hirti the receiving of stolen goods, and also his having committed wilful and corrupt perjury. - Mr. CArdPBELL opened the pleadings, and Mr. SCARLYTT stated the case. In the progress or which he described the defendants as wholesale dealers in libel, and that by such proceedings they derived considerable emolument; that no character escaped their attacks ; and also, that they, by such means, put into their pockets upwards of £2O a week each. —The libel in question appeared in the Paper of Sep• ternber 9, in the last year, and imputed to the plaintiff the having purchased some shawls, in'the year 1809, that had been fraudulently obtained from a Mr. Cooper, in Bond-streer, at a price far below their value; and that, in his return-of the amount of profits under the Income Tax Act, hi had made a false re turn, and afterwards sworn to such falsehood. The Learned Counsel proceeded to impress upon the minds of the Jury the injury inflicted upon the re• putation pf the plaintiff, who had, for a period of more than forty years, conducted himself in that un , impeachable manner that juttly entitled him to the protection of the law, and the verdict of the Jury ot the present occasion: Mr. GURNEY called Mr. Pressey from the Stamp.. office, who proved the proprietorship of the Johie Bull to be in the defendants, from af f idavits made and filed at his Office. This witness underwent a close examination by Mr. Serjeant VAuctus; nothing was however eli. cited by it to shake his testimony. The publication of the libel by the defendants was here admitted by their Counsel. Mr. Bensley proved having printed the Paper in January 1821, for the defendants, and also that at the time of the publication of the libel the Paper wa4 set up at the house of the defendants, inJohnson's-court, Fleet-street. Mr. Mallison, from Somerset-House, produced the Paper filed by the defendants, it was the 9th of Sep tember, 1821. Mr. Abbott, the Clerkof the Court, read the affidavit of the defendant Weaver, by which it appeared that in July, 1821, the weekly sale of the Paper was from 8,000 to 10,000. This being the case for the plaintiff', Mr. Serjeant VAuctrAN rose to address the Jury on behalf of the defendants. The Learned Serjeant proceeded to state, that there not being a justification, prevented him from entering into the proof of the al legations in the imputed libel ; but he should put in evidence to shew there were circumstances of strong suspicion attaching to the plaintiff. The CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his doubt as to the propriety of receiving such evidence, and, after a long consultation between the Counsel for the plaintiff and defendant, it was decided it should not be received. The CHIEF JUSTICE then briefly summed up. The case went to the Jury, who, after being out one hour, returned at a quarter past one with a ver dict for the plaintiff. Damages Five Hundred Pounds. THE PRESS IN INDIAIt will perhaps be recol lected that, some time since, a corre-po n d ence too k place between Mr. BUCKINGHAM, the Editor of the Calcutta Journal, and the Government Secretary at Calcutta, in which notice was given that Mr. BUCK INGHAM'S license to reside in India would be annulled, if articles which the Government should judge to have violated " the laws of moral candour and essential justice" appeared in his Paper. Subsequently to this, however, a bill of indictment was preferred al;ainst Mr. BUCKINGHAM for libel, and found by the iirand Jury of Calcutta. Besides the Calcutta Journal, there are two other Papers at Calcutta, the John bull and tl:e Hurkaru, and while Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S cause re mained to be tried, much discussion took place ill these Papers on the matter of the alleged libei, the two other Papers being violent opponents of Mr. BUCK INGHA In the course of this controversy, several letters ap peared in the Cakutta Journal, which the Government construed into attempts to impede the administration of justice; and Mr. SPANKIE, the Advocate-General, applied to the Supreme Court for a rule to shew cause • why a criminal information should not be tiled against Mr. BUCKINGHAM for these several publications.-- The rule to shew cause was granted on the Bth, cause was shewn against the rule on the 16th of No vember. The alleged libellous matter, which was contained in publications of considerable length, was chiefly concentrated in the followinwassages : " It is rumoured that, after a stormy .debate, which lasted till a late hour yesterday afternoon, a small. majority of the Grand Jury were prevailed Upon, not without great difficulty and strenuous &torts, to re turn a true 8i11..0.n" the matter of the united Secretap ries versus Buckingham. , . . . Tie difficulty espe rienced in this prelintinar y stage, it is to he hoped, is only the precursor to the greater difficulties that await the Holy League in the further progress of their operations."—There was also a call for " the names of the Grand Jury," and a rem.o k that the prose- • cution was a confession on the part of the prose-. cutors, that they needed white-washing. with some other observations of the same kin.l. Mr. Fratoussox, the ADVOCATE-GENERA and other Counsel, ad dressed the Court at considerable length ; after which, the Hon. Sir E. H. EAST, Chief-Justice, and Sit: A. But.t.t:ft, were decidedly of opinion that a cri-, urinal information should be granted ; and it was. granted accordingly. Sir F. MACNAUTON, the other Judge on the Beirch,• is said to have declared bin opinion, " that the Court ditt IttZt Ito W ant criminal informatietts . possess the power all."
