During the hard gale of Friday the 7th, the Hope, of this place, Hoag mailer, laden with coals from Sun&rland, was wrecked at Dunbeath. ....The mailer and crew painted, except one man, who was with difilculty raved. Mr. Hoon has left a widow and a numerous family to deplore his lofs. We mentioned formerly that a large 'eel, ruppofed to be a Dutch or Danifh Indianian, was wrecked at Cairnbuig. We are now polreffed of the following authentic particulars : The wreck confined of part of the bottom, fides, mails, and rigging, and it is fuppofed the weird truck about - Rattertbead, on the Sunday night. Oa the wreck coming ,!bore, it was taken charge of by the &dor on the Inverallochy mate, and by the Admiral Subftitute in the Caimers Store, and fecured in the belt manner poilible for be boof of all concerned. Yet a great pan of the lighten articles were plundered and Veaway by the neighbouring Mennen.— l d unices of the Peace, in the dittria, ordered a reach of the honks of the Mermen furaed dhaving carried of the wrecked articles. And on the matter being Mentioned to Lord Invest:ay and AULT. HARM Efq. of Broad land, by Bailie IKSLISAII at Frierflargh, they moll bandfosnely volunteered their pedestal aU tance in the (catch, and accordingly on Tlnerfday, in the Seatown of Corfisellie, found no Isdb than a tart load of wrecked articles. A recognition was then taken, and John Cow and his fon who carried of the articles, and a farmer is Lonmay, who had received part of them, were committe d. But the father and the farmer having found bail, were li berated. and the fon was fent of to Aberdeen, under the charge of a conllable. In confequence of the fearch, a paper, fuppored to be the regifter of the verel, was recovered, by which, and the dreffes of two bodies. which had come afhore, and other articles found among the wreck. it appears Ike is Ruffian property, and named Mapahema, and to have been in ballsinu this paper had the Ruffian arms at the top. Mac praife is due to the gentlemen who sifted as milieu on this occafion, and to Captain Gieessris of the Henry Dundas cutter, lying at Fraferlburgh, who fent out a party of his men to eat in(scoring the wreck and deteßing the offenders. The reginer is now at Aberdeen, to be produced to any perfon haying inures. FROM LLOYD's UST. DEAL, J.M. so.—Salisd hoted their rerpedire veyagnao—Wind L Weis bud.

PETERSBURGH, DECEMBER 9.—The Eng. lith (hip the Princefs of Wales, Captain Yovno, which, on account of the contrary wind, had been obliged to lie at anchor two days off Tol buchin's Light.houfe, and was furrounded by drift ice, loft its anchor, was driven by the ice, and is ftranded on the fouth coati of the Gulph of Finland, so werßs from Cronftadt. To let it afloat, a third part of the valuable cargo was fafe• ly lodged in boats, and brought dry on fhore : but in the night of the al December it had the misfortune to be pierced through by the drift ice. It liesnow aground in is feet water, three werfts from the emit, and two thirds of the cargo are under water. The fugal., coffee, and indigo are fpoiled ; the woollen and cotton goods may per haps have fuffered lets. It is hoped, that when the ice is (after, the (hip, which is a three malt veffel, of 300 tons, may be alfo brought into the harbour : at prefent it is impable, without the utmoft hazard, to pats to it over the Wore and broken ice floats. The cargo is eftimated at 50,0001. and the (hip at 4.0001.

The flamed pra&ice that prevails on the mall of Kent, and molt other places, of plunder ing the wrecks of veffels, having been fo longfane timed by cullom, and the Magiftrates on the (pot conceiving themfelves utututhorifed to reftrain or pun& Nth. Underwriters of the property on board the above vdel, took the opinion of Counfel, and being advifed that this offence amounted to felony, applied to Sir RICHARD Foao, who granted a war rant fer (earthing thepronifes fufpedled of contain ing property taken from the wreck, and difpatched &vett, and feveral other Officers, to Whitflable, who found a r calks of pot alb, and reverel etas of (agar, which appeared to have come from the wreck, in the warehoufe of a tradefman, in Whitftable, bet which did not appear to be there concealed. The tradefinan was brought up a pri loner to town by the Officers, and has undergone feveral private examinations at Bow.fireet, where it appeared, en the evidence of William Hull, a Cullom-Hoes Officer. of Whit Roble, that on Sunday, the tyth, he law a fifhingveffel belong ing to the prifoner, in company with two others, employed in weighing the wreck ; and on the Wednefday following he faw the Adriana In Whit.

Several other witneffes from Whit. Sable were examined. The prifoner *Hedged that the goods were only lodged in the prattifes, to Pave the heavy charges which would be made at the Cullom-Houk.

The Court fat about oneo'clock.—Thefirll thing that took place was the juaification of bail ; two Gentlemen jullified, in the film of 30,14.01. each, after the payment of all their juli debts. THELLUSSON V. BELL. Mr. ERSKINE, on the part of the Defendant, moved for a rule to thew caufe why there lhould not be a new trial in this cafe. This caufe was tried at Guildhall, on the 2IR of December lati, before Lord Ellenborough arid a Special Jury of Merchants, when they found a verdict for the Plaintiff. It was an anion brought on a policy of infurance, dated February 2, 1792, on account of the (hip Malabar, at and from the Ifle of France and Bourbon, in the Eall Indies, to Toulon. Be fore this (hip let out on her voyage, (he had been informed by a veffel, that had jut( arrived, that the King of Priam, the Emperor of Germany, and the King of Sardinia, had gone to war with France, and that Great Britain was arming.— When, in the courfe of her voyage, fhe had got between the Azores and Madeira, this information was confirmed by an American (hip, which they met, and which had come out from Li(bon a few J days before. This (hip alfo informed them, that France and Spain were at peace, which was ;,111) confirmed by their having met two Span& fri gates, who did not molell them. In order, as was alledged, to avoid cruizers, they put int Cadiz, and Spain and France being at war, they were immediately captured ? The queßion was—Whe ther this was not a deviation ? The Underwriters infifted that it was. His Lordfhip Rated, that, in order to jußify a deviation from the ordinary track of the voyage, there mull be Tome immediate, urgent, and impending neceffity, fufficient to ope rate on the mind of a reafonable man, that it would be for the good of all concerned.—The Jury found a verdia for the Plaintiff. Mr. Erfkine, in apply ing for a new trial, contended, that this fhip had received no information to jullify her in deviating from the track of her voyage. In order to jußify a deviation, there muff be force immediate, urgent, and impending neceffity ; as for inliznce, if the Captain of a veffel receives information, that the (hips of the enemy are on the track of his voyage, that is a good reafon for deviating from it, in or der to avoid them ; but a man could never be juf tified for going out of his way, when he did :at t know there were any enemies in his way. Lord Eta.ersoitouon.—" Yon do not throw an imputation on them, that they went in there frau dulently, but only hat they did not make out a cafe, that jullified them for fo a@ing 1" Mr. ERSKINI raid it was exataly fo. Suppofe France and Spain had then been aaually at peace, what right bad they to g o into Cadiz, unlefs they were dnven there by imminent danger? The Learned Connie' laid, be moved to let afide this verdict, as contrary to evidence. He willied to have the judgment of the Court, upon the fags given in evidence, whether this did not amount to a deviation ? Lord ELL an almond ii...‘ The danger war not fulficiently imminent to jußify the deviation. Take a rule to thew caufe."—Rule granted. HABEAS COZPUS. Mr. Gatitow moved for a writ of Haifa: Cor pu t to be direfted to the Gaoler of die I& of Ely, to bring up a perfon of the name of ---- Nicolls, to be bailel _ The LearnedCoonfel laid, was fora rape. He had alum: dant evidence of that which would not ;citify him if it Rood alone—that this Lady was of very eery manners t that was abundantly proved by a variety of affidavits. Betides the denial of the Defendant on affidavit, of the Lady's refinance, he bad abun dance of evidence, not only that the did not refill what took place, but that the laid a trap for the purpore of doing the all, which today the called a rape. He raid he had other evidence, that both before and fine that time, the was lien with this man in a fituation, too indelicate to be defcribed. He had a certificate from the Magifirstes, awing, that upon the evidence that was kid before them, they thoold have thought it their duty to admit him to bail, if they had conceived they had any jurifdiaion to do it. He had revere] affidavits, that this charge was made on account of a grudge the had to Mcoll's brother, and had endeavoured to bribe a perfon to burn his !wore. The Court granted the writ, at the fame time direaing that notice thould be given to the MagiC. trates, the Profecutrix, and all concerned.—Writ granted. MANDAMUS. Mr. WOOD obtained a Writ of Ma/le~ to be directed to the town of Berwick•uppooaal'weed, to command them to proceed to the eledion of a new Mayor, that office being at Feint vacant. Mr. Houk', moved, that a Mfs. Hutchinfon might be difcharged out of cußody, on filing com mon bail. She bad been committed as a tingle wo. man, though, in fad, the was a married woman, and her holland was at prefent abroad. She had obtained credit for there goods, for the value of which the had been arreßed, exprefsly as a married woman, and the goods bad been brought to the bottle where the had lived a long time. Lord ELLeasoaouoic." The party knowing the was a married woman at the time he gave her credit, is a fufficient reafon for granting the rule." —Rule granted. Batt.. On an application being made to the Court, to difcharge a Defendant out of cuftody, on filing common bail, on the round that the Plaintiff had not (worn, in the *kw/ to hold to bail. that no tender had been made him of his demand, in notes of the Bank of England, Lord ELLanaoaottow Paid, be would never ex- tend an equitable eonftroetion to an Aa of Parlia ment, which, perhaps, ought newer to have exiled, and which, be hoped, would loon be at an tut COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. U. NADKINSON V. ROBINSON. Serjeant SnEPHERD moved for a new trial in this cafe, the circumflances of which he ffiortly fisted to be thefe : A cargo of pilchards, on board the (hip Pifcaroe, bound from Cornwall to Naples, had been infured by the Plaintiff with the Defendant. The veffel was loaded on the yth of Oaober at Penzance in Cornwall, from whence the proceeded to Falmouth, where the was detained till the a4th of January following for want of convoy.—Having at 'aft failed along with his Majelly's (hip la Pique, Captain Foote, the arrived in the Mediterranean, where the unpleafant intelligence was communi cated to the convoy, that the ports of Naples and Sicily were in the poffeffion of the French, and that all Britifh veffels were rigoroully excluded from the harbours of thole kingdoms. The voyage to Naples was therefore completely 1011, and the Captain of the Pifcaroe, as the belt mode of proceeding that could be adopted in fuch a fituation, made for Port Mahon, in Minorca, and thefe difpofed of the cargo to the beg poffible advantage, that the un derwriters, in cafe of abandonment, might hare the benefit of the falvage. In the mean time, as foon as the news of the ports of the Two Sicilies being Phut againft Britith ' veffels arrived in England, the proprietors of tne cargo, without waiting for any intelligence of the fate or fituation of the veffel, which did not arrive till fame months after, fent notice to the under- \ writers, that in cafe the report concerning the ex elution of Britifh veffels from the Sicilian harbours thould turn out to be true, they would totally abandon the cargo to them accordingly. When this circumfbncewasconfirmed,they fued the underwriters for the value, who, however, re futed to pay, upon two principles ; firft, that the abandonment was made too foon, and fecondly, that the proprietors had no right to abandon the cargo at the time when that event took place.— Upon thefe grounds the Jury had given a verdiet for the Defendant. The Learned Serjeant then proceeded to ohferve, that this verdift truck him as very extraordinary, and, perhaps, was pronounced in too precipitate a manner ; for when the CH IF r jusrsca was about to funs up the evidence in the ufual form, one or two of the Jury thought proper to prevent him, and declare that they were perfeetly (added, and immediately gave their verdiet in favour of the Defendant. When the Court confidered thefe cir. cumßances, and the evidence on both fides, he was perfuaded that a fecond hearing of the cafe would not be refufed. Lord A ***** allowed the circum Rance Rated by the Serjeant to be in a great meafure true, but obferved, that in faits relative to infurance, a Lon don jury were certainly the moil competent judges. His own private opinion, he confeffed, leaned ra they to the other fide, and k was on that account he had informed the Jury at the time that the firft principle upon which the Defendant refted his eau& ought to be entirely laid out of confideration ; becaufe, if the grounds of abandonment were jolt, whether notice.of an intention to abandon was given fooner or later, was a matter of total indiffe rence. They all anfwered that they had been aware of that circuudtance, and Rill adhered to their verdi&. The cafe, however, undoubtedly demanded Come confideration ' and therefore there could be no objettion to anew t rial.—Rule granted. Soon after Mr. Emma had (acar/ding to the phrafeology of churchwardens, &c.) iwad 6is in Lincoln's Inwfields f adjoining to Lird Kenyon's. be was met at his door by a noble Lord, who exclaimed, •• Why.
