We have on a former occasion reported at coasidera ble length, the proceedings which arose upon a ques tion of stivage effected on this ship. The Court, in giving its sentence, referred it to the Registrar and Mer chants to rbport what part of the cargo might be sold duty free (under the late Act of Parliament, 'in respect of the remission of duties on salvage goods), in order to defray the salvage decreed. By this report, it ap peared that a very considerable part, indeed, if not the whole of the cargo, was to be sold as free of duty; an an exemption which went to occasion so considerable a loss to the Revenue, that the Commissioners of his Ma jesty's Customs took an objection to the report. The matter being this day argued, I.ord SrOWEI L held that their objection was entirely well founded. It was ect to be contended, that owing to any accident cr- miLiort one, which arose out of natural causes, such as the perils of the sea and of storms, and was in no u.ty to be imputed to any negligence in the Government in providing light-houses or harbours, the revenue of the State was to stiffer to an extent that might prove enormous. Counsel had, in their argument, ex tended the construction of the word " salvage," in the Act of Parliament, to the whole of the cargo; whereas the Act evidently applied it to a part only—such part as, being sold, might raise a fund for the payment of the salvage to be allowed to salvors. Although this ar rangement might fall heavily, to appearance, on the party or owner, where goods might happen to be st lected out of a cargo for this purpose, the remedy would be provided by apportioning the loss generally among the owners of the remaining cargo, agreeably to the principles of commercial distribution in cases of jettison or of jactance. The Act of Parliament. which was in tended to relieve salvors from the liability they were ,formerly under in many cases, of having their stipulated remuneration absorbed in the duties payable upon the goods salved, was evidently meantto embrace only such a . portion of the cargo as the sale of, free of duty, would suffice to yield the quantum of salvage agreed upon or decreed ; and with this limitation the provisions of that statute must operate in the present instance. The Court therefore confirmed its former decree, and directed the partial remission, only, to be allowed in this case, on the principles it had laid down. The Court considered that the Board of Customs had acted most meritoriously in taking this objection in the manner and on the grounds that they had done. - A few warrants for head-money.were granted,endar of a peculiar interest as to the facts of the cases. WINCH BRIG•LA ,I.UBI. The Ktzo's.AnrocaTz said, in this case a petition' had been moved for head money for the above mho, which was captured in 1806, by the Bon Fortuna the; vessel La Lune had 47 men and two guns, which the Captain placed on shore in St. Domingo, and.eonsasu nicated to Lord Mere the .capture. Sir Christopher now prayed for the head money for the capture, and, observed that the Captain had done no more than was, frequently done in the war, viz.—landing. the men, as their vessel was very much crowded; on . a promise of a future exchange. Lord SrowaLL ordered it to stand over. HAMILERSMITR AND SMALLISENNV(iRITN TURN- Plitts.—A very numerous Meeting ofthe Trustees took place at the Pack Horse and Talbot, on Turnhame. Green, on Saturday last; they were convened for the purpose of Letting the Tolls on the - High Western R6ad, from Hammersmith to Smallberry , Green, and in con sequence of the late decision of the Magistrates Against the present lessee, Mr. Levy, arising Out of the recent controversy between him and Mr. Cebbett, 'an nu usually full Meeting of the Trustees was the natural eon sequence. These tolls were let, three years ago, at a rental of £9505. As a diminution in the profits has Leen sustained by the late decision, amounting at lease to 12 . 500 a-year, it was expected the rent would be thesl much reduced. At two o'clock precisely the auctionl commenced to a very full anditorr The Trusted put' up the Gates at £9OOO. Mi.

The biddings proceeded pidly to the amount of £9500, when Mr. Levy, address , ing himself to the Chairman, said, it had been inti mated to him that the Trustees did nor continue to hold him in their good opinion. If this were the ease—that is, if he had suffered by Means of Mr; Cobbett's perse-- cution, he would willingly retire from the lesseeship.— . The Chairman, however, assured him, that the Truster placed the greatest confidence in him, and would la men t 'to see his place filled by any one else ; upon which, - in ! a tone of self-congratulation, he said, rime my chlt= ratter has not suffered, I will give you another hundred pounds; and, after a severe competition; he was declared the Lessee, at a rent of 9,9101: The' complimented him upon his general good coat Levy retired. le had been rumoured that M, was to be a competitor, but he did not wet) is probably the largeit rentAlikt is produced one Trost in gpiland; thilficliiiied ,teat buted, by the Trosiees t to Vie circumstance I jesty having determined to spend so roucit' Windbor.

An objvcdon was taken by Mr. Annatws, as Counsel for the de fentianis, on the p.ior hearing, on the ground that the summonses issutd for their appearance were Illegal, inasmuch as the date of the commiesion of she offence, the parish or place where the same WAS alkged to have been committed, and the Act of Parliament under winch the proceedings . were instituted, were not indorsed on the summenses. This, however, was obviated by Mr. Miami:cc or dering fresh suconionses to be Issued, with the indorsements con tended for; but great difficulty ww; experienced in effiecting the ser vice of them, as the defendants anticipated the measure that would be resorted to, and of course kept out of the way as much as possi ble; however, four out of the original number, which we believe was six, were personally s , ereed, and of course attended. Mr. ANDREWS and Air. ROT.-. 11 attended as before for the de fame, and Mr. ADOLPUei for the complainants. TOn the first case being called, Mr. Minsiitmt. said he would call the attention of the Learned Gentlemen on both sides to a question which had occurred to him on the former hearing of the cast., al though he did not then express it. relative to the informer, who bad stated himself to be under twenty-one years of age, and was, therefore, legally au infant, and, consequently. incapable of appear ing as an informer under a penal statute, as Magistrates sere en:- power,:d, by the 18th. Geo. 'J. c. 19, to award costs on either part) in any case where a penalty was to be recovered by information. Should the informer be called upon to pay costs he might refuse, and could not be sued, and therefore he, Mr. Minshull, was of opi nion that the informations could not be proceeded in. Mr. Rorcis said, in confirmation of the worthy Magistrate's opi nion, there was a case in 2d Hataiinis Ems of the Crown, Mons v. Ellis, wherein Serjeant Onslow had expressli laid down the law which Mr. Minshull bad just affirmed. On reference to these authorities, Mr. Armerres acquiesced in opinion with Mr. Minshull that no further pro cess cou ld b e h a d, an dl the informations were of course qua-ited. MANSION-HOUSE. A Jew named Moses, who was stone-blind, was charged by an elderly woman, whose daughter had been hired to lead him about, with .istving committed a rape upon her daughter. He was, she said, a beggar, although he bad given himself a fine name, and had taken advantage of her child while pursuing his trade of begging. The Jew said in his defence, that the young woman had led him about upon his business at the rate of half-a-crown a week, but being fond of the weavers, fer she came from Spitalfields, she did not like his quiet protection, and went back to them, leaving him without a guide. She soon, however, returned ; hut as the weavers were after her, he would not have her to lead bins any more, for fear she should lead him astray; upon which her mother came up to him and took him by the nose, which she wrung with such vio lence that be actually thought that feature had followed his eyes. The Loi) MAYOR, who perceived that the first charge was made merely for the purpose of getting rid of the second, questioned the Jew upon the nature of his occupation. Moses said he was a matrimonial broker; in other words, a per son who provided husbands for wives, and wives for husbands, and that he bad a per =cage for his labour. The LORD Mavos said the poets bad painted Cupid blind ; but then he was somewhat younger, at least in appearance, than Mr. Moses, who had thus engaged to do the business of the little god. His Lordship asked how Moses could perform the duties of the of fice in his blindness? The Jew replied, that the secrecy was the more to be relied upon when the interceasor,vcaa without eyes than when he had perf ec t eight. It was, W*44/fiat defect that qualified him best to recom mend parties to each miser. The Loan Mates then desired the old woman never to pull the old man's nose again, and the old: matt to get himself led in future by a boy, lest the girls should lead him astray. GUILDHALL Mary Walker was charged on suspicion of having stolen three ten pound notes. Mr. Earle, of the Temple, stated that he left three ten pound notes on Saturday : evening upon his law table; the prisoner was bit servant; she was the only person who had access to the room du ring his absence. Nest morning he found the norm gone; he ques tioned her; she denied having teen them, but said that perhaps she had lit the fire with them that morning, as she found some paper on the floor tolled up in th 2 manner he described them ; that upon this answer he had reason to suspect her knowing something of them ; he did not wish to prosecute this business farther, as he had memo to believe since.the warrant was granted that Walker did not make away with the property. The Magistrate said there was no charge proved against the pri mer • he would; however, advise Mr. Earle 'to ascertain the num bers :of the three WOW, and to have them stopped. This perhaps might lead to a:detcreloo of the person or persons concerned in the ,_transaction.--.Mary Walker was discharged. MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.

HIGH PRICL: OF COALV. The LORD Melva bas received several tommeneee. tions upon the preser.t high price ofeoals,requesting bite r ; terference to prevent the gross impbsitions white there was reason to suppose were daily practised upoathe Pee. tic. The statements made teem to the following effect ; " The present price of coals was eaormottsly great, ape it was to be regretted that the number of meters did not correspond v. ith the number of cargoes of coals white had lately arrived in the River; so that the de:Rea l -le e , from this deficiency of coal-meters receesarily erevere e l the expected and natural reduction hi the rice of rite article. There were now neatly SGO call-vessels in the ' River; and as the' meters must take their turn reeel a e r . tht ee or tour weeks must elapse before tee vessels could be cleared out. This delay eippliee specelators anl ship-owners with the oppertenity and means or keeping I: p :he price of coale by uriting and forming a monopoly which had already reached an alarneng height, and might, if neat ti t cooe:tweed, be the source o f t h e greatest distress in the severity of the winter season. Tee pcor were already suffering in consequeece cf the exorbitant charge for so necessary an article, which was at the pre sent moment actually et the was' price; and it was ear eeelar ly incumbent upon the Chief 'Alagistrate to inters pose his authority, at least for an adequ a te hiciease of the number of coal -niters, in order tier: some check should be given to so obnoxious a monopoly, and that so indispensable an article - of domestic use should fall to its proper level. The LORD MAYOR, upon being applied to on so ice. poi tact a subject, ordered that a minute and immediate investigation should be made into the evil, and the causes of it; and he ascertained, that even within the last week 194. coal vessels had arrived in the liver, not withstanding which the price remained alai mingly.high. It vies further reported, that the number of co:Li-meters now acting being 107, and there being a few more im mediately to co-operate with them, the duty was capable of being discharged without any effort, and that the evil complained of arose from quite a different source: It arose, in fact, from the following practice, which could not be too much reprobated. Some of the most eminent dealers bought their coals at the pit's mouth, and freighted their ships with them. Upon the an ival of the cargoes, they made purchases, or pretended pure chases, of part or the whole of them, through their factors in London, at an exorbitant price, gnd thus corn• pelled the Public to pay for small quantities in propor tion to the price which the original purchasers had thus unfairly put.npon the article. The Loan Melroet,'in reply' to the application, then said that the evil complained of (and aieevil it certainly was, of - a very serious nature) was above his 'reach. Over the coal-meters; against whom indeed there was no ground of complaint, he could exercise an authority, if any of them could he provedto have aided in any imposition upon the Public ; bufehore wreo it appeared - were charged with the obno?iobs offence of keeping up the priee of coals could note hi-believed, be reached, except by some legislative enactment'. 41.0•1 , A milkman has exhibited a sign over the passage be tween Nos. 5 and 6, in Duke's row, opposite Sc.
