The pri. vateer carried 14 carriage guns, besides small arms, and was manned by 44 men and boys. In order to check the depredations of the enemy's privateers on this part of the coast, the Oberon and Calypso sloops of war, and Censor gun-brig, are sta tioned to enure between Newcastle and Yarmouth ; and the Sappho sloop of war is also appointed to cruize between Newcastle and Flamborough. A lugger privateer, long built, seemingly all black, with black cloths over her bulwarks, captured two brigs off Sunderland, in the morning of yesterday se'n night, and chased several others into Sunderland Roads, in the sight of great numberrof people upon the shore.

ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS. Yesterday, the Right Honourable Sir WILLIAM SCOTT proceeded to the adjudication of the following cases : Vier Gesusters, Smidt master—This was the case of a vessel under Kniphausen colours, laden with a cargo of masts and other naval stores, on a voyage from Riga to Portsmouth, which was seized by a Danish armed boat, and afterwards retaken by one of his Majesty's cutters ; and the question before the Court was a claim of salvage. The Court in this ease decreed the salvage prayed, and allowed the captors their expences. Harmonia, Ariansen master—This was a Hambro' vessel, coming with a variety of articles from the Island of St. Thomas. In this case the bulk of the property was condemned to the Crown. Sea Nymph, Jens master—This ship was on a voyage from the port of Oporto (to which the British flag was not permitted to trade), and was going, at the time of capture, to the port of Hambro'. The Court was clearly of opinion, from the testimony of the Master, and other evidence produced, it was manifest, that if the port of Hantbro' was blockaded, the Master's intention was to come to this country.—Property restored. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE MONEY. The Daring and Hardy, for the Anna Catharina and Leefde, captured i■ May, 1806 ; the Dictator and Flora, for the Eliza ; the Clyde and Fortunee, for the Henrick and Jan, August 27, 1803 ; and the Fisgard, Sophie. and Halcyon, for the San Nicholas, Ja nuary 17, 1805, will be paid on Friday next, at No. 23, Noriclk street, Strand; and there recalled on Fridays and Tuesdays. The Eurydice, for the Venere, captured May 9, 1805, will be paid on the 22d instant, at No. 9.2, Essex-street, Strand; and there recalled on Tuesdays and Fridays. The Niger, for la Virgin del Carmen, captured May 2, 1806, will be paid on board on Friday next, and recalled at No. 11, Cecil street, Strand. The gun brig Fervent, for the Jotif, captured November 19, 1806, was paid this day, at Portsmouth, and recalled at No. 4, Ely-Place. EAST•INDIA SHIPPING. It appears that the want of provi lons at the Mauritius was entirely owing to the vigilance of our rruizers, as all the Mada gascar traders had been taken by a frigate, &c. on their passage to that Wand. Rice extremely dear, twelve dollars per ioolb. The Piedmontaise frigate, from the Mauritius,was spoken with by an American, in 26 South, 66 East, supposed bound for the Bay of Bengal. A brig of 10 guns had sailed from the Isle of France, to cruize on the West coast. The Warren Hastings, Captain Hunter, was wrecked in a gale of wind at Bourbon. The Sentillante frigate, repairing at the Isle of France, was ex pected to be ready for sea by the let of June last. The ship Prince, Captain Fogerty, bound from Madras to Bombay, was wrecked near Gow early in June; crew saved. The following passengers, late prisoners at the Isle of France, arrived at Calcutta in the ship Gillwell, front Traitquebar, on the 24th June last, viz.—Captain Hunter, Lieutenants M'Carthy and Jackson, country service ; Mr. Finch, Mr. J. R. O'Connor, and Mr. Masse. The ship Daniel, Captain Thomas, was lost off the Sand Heads, in going up to Calcutta ; crew saved—the cargo extremely valuable. The Ceres, WHITEWAY, from Newfoundland for England, is lost, and all the crew. The Belfast, MITCHAM, from Sligo to Dublin, is lost near Sligo. _ The Europa, STRACHAN, of Arbroath, is lost near Sligo. The Thomas, ARCHIBALD ; from Demerara for Dublin, is put into Liverpool, with damage. The Hawk, Pocoex, from Falmouth for Hayti, is put back for Falmouth, leaky. The John and Isabella, HAYWOOD ; Traveller, FORSTER ; and the Sally, JACESIN, have put into Carlsham for convoy. On Saturday evening last arrived at Portsmouth the Spanish frigate Fuerte, of 24 guns, from Rio de hi Plate, last from St. Helena, commanled by Captain THOMPSON, who, for his very zealous and active con duct in disembarking the troops, and the many me ritorious services rendered by him to the army, was appointed to this ship by Reit. Admiral MURRAY.— The Fuerte is considered by the Spaniards the finest ship of her class that was ever built by that Govern ment, and as a very superior sailor. Captain TnoMP. sox experienced very severe weather on his passage, and but for the excellent qualities of the ship she would never have been brought to this country. Captain TuomrsoN has brought home from South America a breed of the Chili Beagle, so much esteemed for its ex traordinary scent ; which no doubt will much im prove the breed in this country. The Duke of RICHMOND was elegantly entertained by the Corporation of Londonderry, on Thursday se'nnight, and received tl e freedom of that respectable Corporation. Military and other due honours were paid to his Grace on the occasion. He afterwards proceeded to the seat of Lord BELMORE, in the county of Fermanagh. Those two very choice frigates, the Leonidas and Undaunted, are lying at the Great Nore, and are completely manned ; they will both proceed to the westward in a few days ; the former it is reported, to carry Lord STRANGFORD to the Brazils, and the latter on a cruize to the southward and westward. The yacht (and not a frigate) which was built in this country 23 years ago, and made a present of to the Crown Prince of Denmark, has arrived at Dept ford, having been returned by the Prince. She seems as if she had not been painted since she left England, and is now about to undergo a thorough repair. TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAR. lAverpo3l, Jan. 7, 1808. SIR-4 observe in the STAR of the .sth inst. you request a translation to the elegant, delicate, and com. plimentary Apostrophe to England, written by the Marquis de FuLvv. I present you the underwritten : If you consider it worthy the original and your re spectable Paper, you will please to insert it. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Acatow ! I pass each peaceful hour Shielded beneath thy guardian Power ! Yet while thy bounties I've enjoyed, Oft thoughts of home my peace annoy'd ; And still I felt a , : Alien here ; But see ! in thee my Sov'reign dear! No longer Stranger then to me, I find my Native Land in Thee! A wager has been laid, that there are more Princes now in England than there ever was at any former period, and more King: on the Continent ! DRURY.LANE.—KINNEVg Opera of False Alarms attracted a brilliant audience, last night, to Drury lane Theatre. Mr. BRAIIAIII was in fine voice, and received the most rapturous applause. COVENT-GARDEN.—Last night an Historical Drama, with musical accompaniments, entitled The Wanderer, or the Rights of Hospitality, was performed for the first time, and experienced a very favourable reception, from a numerous, but what certainly might be called, in some instances, an outrageously partial audience. DRAMATIS PERSONA. Prince Sigismond Mr. C. KEMBII Count Valdestein Pore Count Sparre MURRAY Colonel Saner BLANCHARD Gustaves Adolphus CLAReMONT Ramsay FAWCETT Miss SMITH Countess Valdestein Christina NORTON Thi-spiece is in three acts, and altered from a French play, on a subject nearly similar. It has been adapted to the English stage by Mr. C. Knausi E, who repre sented S;gistnond, its hero. The pl - it is composed tf the perils and escapes of this young Prince, who, with the assistance of Denmark, is making war upon the reigning Monarch of Sweden, in hopes of recovering the crown of his grand-father, Gustavus Vasa. The leading incidents bear a strong resemblance to some remarkable occurrences in the life of Charles Edward, our Pretender ; and they are wrouht in a most forci ble and interesting manner. We f orbear to give a de tail of the fable : because in a piece abounding v.-ith incident, anticipation must destroy the pleasure of the spectator. In the beginning of the first act there were one or two common-place allusions, which would be better omitted ; but, in every other instance, the lan guage and the sentiments are elegant and appropri ate : and the Wanderer is one of those very fev. - plays which unite the merit of interesting plot and classically written dialogue.—The sentiments of this piece are loyal and appropriate. It has the aid of some excel lent music by D...vv and RUSSEL, and dancing by the Misses Anams, &c. The chorusses were intended to lengthen the piece, and give it variety : they suit very well in a Melo- Drama, but they ckstroy the dignity of a Play. Nei ther do we approve of ballets in serious pieces. The second act was heavy, but the last possessed great interest, and was productive' of much stage effect.— This piece is said to be a translation from an unsuc cessful one, brought out at Paris three years since, the author of which was banished. It is impossible to do justice to the exertions of the performers. Miss SMITH was dignified, interesting, and impressive, and shewed herself a perfect mistress of her profession, in the different changes of her countenance, from hope to fear, from despair to joy. Miss Noteros looked pretty and interesting in the fair niece of the Countess. Mr. C. KEMBLE never appeared to greater advantage ; he was energetic and impressive. Mr. FAWCETT, as the old faithful domestic, was very well ; but the at tempts at humour were low and puerile. The Pro , logue was a stricture on the pent times, and was spoken by Mr. BRUNTON. T he s Epilogue was very poor, and the allusion to the misletoe not fortunate. — Miss NORTON spoke it with spirit. The house was crowded, and the Play announced for second representation amidst loud applause and repeated bravos. MCDERN DRAMAS. The following Letter was written a few days ago from a Lady in town, to her friend in the country : " DEAR MARY, " As you are fond of Theatricals, I hasten to tell you, that a new Play is to be brought out ors of these nights, at one of the Theatres. If you do not hasten to town, you'll not av-rtake it alive ! Yours, &e. M. C." A letter was directed to the Clown at Covent garden, whether from a love of pun, or a want of literature, is uncertain—Mr. ! Captain BARCLAY set off yesterday morning at a quarter past ten from the stone at Cumberland-gate, went to the Church at Harrow, and returned at nine minutes after one; by which all bets were won on his part, as the time allowed was three hours • he seemed to have performed it with great ease. He was dres sed in a white flannel jacket and trowsers, and kept his thumbs in a silk handkerchief slung round his neck. A foot race was run at Blackheath, on Monday , morning between CURLEY, the Brighton Shepherd, and COOK the Soldier, 120 yards for thirty guineas a side. They came in together in thirteen seconds : it was therefore adjudged a dead heat ; the stake mcney was returned, and the bets declared void. CORN MARKET, MARK-LANF, JANUARY 13.—The supplies of Wheat to-day are rather considerable, and sales thereof are at small variation in price—Barley in' good supply and in demand—Malt rather cheaper— White Peas full as high—Grey, and Beans go off heavily—Oats are likewise in considerable supply, and this trade is quoted a trifle lower.

Sinclair and Bayne, and Bayne and Anderson, tra ded between Surinam-and London, the one house being settled at the former, and the other at the latter place. Consignments between these houses had been made to the amount of 15,600 L for which remittan• ces had been returned to the extent of 14,4001.-- Both these mercantile firms had failed ; and the ques tion arose between the separate creditors of each, whether the difference or. account should go to the establishment at Surinam, or the dividend upon it? or whether such amount should be apportioned among the creditors of the one, in priority to, any such settle ment. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after Sir Samuel Romil and Messrs. Leech and Cooke had been hear d, ssa d, that if the Surinam and London houses were to be considered as the same persons, as being in partner ship, he did not recollect any case in which, under such circumstances, the houses could be creditors of each other, they being debtors to all and each of the mutual creditors. If one or more of the partners should not be interested in both houses, the ques tion would be varied. After commenting on the la* and equity of partnerships in such caes, his Lordship concluded with directing an inquiry, 1. What was the state of the account between the two houses? 2. What was the particular account on which the remit tances were made ? EX PARTE STEPHENSON IN THE MATTER OF SELLON. The bankrupt Andrew Sellon, on the 26th March, 1807, had signed a bond and warrant of attorney un der which execution had been taken by the Sheriff, and the following month a commission issued against him. Under this proceeding effects were seized to the amount of 79361. The bankrupt had passed his last examination, and had obtained his certificate.— This application to the Court was, that his Lordship would interpose his authority, to compel the bank rupt to attend the Commissioners to undergo exami nation as to the validity of the debt, and the regular rity of the proceedings in respect of this warrant of attorney. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY and Mr. CooKr, particularly the latter, entered into a long and elaborate argument to shew, that, both under the construction of the sta tute of James, and of the sth Geo. 11. c. 30. a bank rupt was liable to be committed for non-attendance in such cases, under the authority of the Court, in fulfilment of the purposes of those Acts. They like wise cited the opinion of Lord Hardwicke, and in more modern times a case from 2 81. Rep. 189, and a dictum of Lord Kenyon in Arden and Flower, (8 Term Rep. 534.) Messrs. RICHAIWS and LUPPELI, insisted, that the statutes mere silent. as to anysuch compulsion, after the third or final examination, and that no case could be adduced where the Court had ventured to supply the deficiency by its own authority, and they presumed that in the absence of all precedent his Lordship would not exeicise the jurisdiction required. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that this was an im portant question. If there did not exist a power in the Great Seal to enable the Creditors sccceccfully to demand an exposition of the affairs of the bankrupt, after what was called the final examination, it would be next to impossible to do justice in bankruptcy. His Lordship thought the jurisdiction of the Court must be exercised, and that the order should be made for the attendance of the bankrupt to give the neces sary explanations. JANUARY 12.— PURCELL McNAmARA. The LORD CHANCELLOR this7day gave judgment on the further hearing of the exceptions taken by Mr. M , Namara to the Master's report. Two of these exceptions, the one to the extent of 14,0001. and the other to the extent of 20001. for which the Master had refused to allow Mr. ,'Na mara credit, the late Lord Chancellor ErAtine and the Master of the Rolls had been of opinion sh•ntld be allowed. The whole of the other exceptions t tken by Mr. M. to the Master's report they had disal;:m ed. The Lord Chancellor, on rehearing the whole, now concurred with his predecessor and with the Master of the Rolls, in thinking that the Master ought to have al lowed Mr.M'Namara credit for the 14,0001. as at the date when it was acknowledged to be dui, subject to any set-offs which the plaintiff should be able to prove subsequent to that period on which he allowed her to be heard. The exception as to the 2COOI. his Lordship was of opinion should go back to the Master, to be further inquired into ; and, as to all the other excep tions, his Lordship entirely concurred in the opinion of his predecessor and the Master of the Rolls, that they should be disallowed. The young man who was shot in a duel at Wimble don Common, some weeks ago, is in a fair way of recovery, though the ball passed through his lungs. The Surrey Sessions commenced yesterday. Lord GnaNTLEy, who has filled the situation of Chairman 11 years, having resigned, the Bench, which was very numerously attended, passed a vote of thanks to his Lordship, and then, without opposition, elected Mr. Serjeant ONsLow as his successor, who returned thanks in a very neat speech. As more than double the number of principal Prizes are contained in the present State Lottery, than any former Scheme of the same amount of Tickets, purchas?rs of. Shares, in particular, have a much bet. ter chance than ever of participating of their benefits: in fact, this is so manifest to them, that a greater de mand for Shares of Tickets has already been experi enced than has been known for many years. HoaNsnr and Co. respectfully solicit the favours of the nobility, gentry, and the public in general, in the present State Lottery, as well as requesting their at.. tention to the Scheme. It is simplified and judici ously arranged, so that every one who peruses it, must comprehend the benefits they will receive, agree ably to the Ticket or Share purchased. There are treble the usual number of Capital Prizes, and of the minor sort there are double the number of the last Lottery, and no fixed Prize. Tickets and Shares arc selling at the very lowest prices, and the prize money paid on demand, whether a 20,0001. or a 211. HORNS.
