Mr. Walsh made his appearance for the first time, but as he had not delivered to the Assignees any accohnt of the Lottery transactions, ;he Connsel were ,of opinion the account delivered in was imper fect. His Solicitor acknowledged that it was under his instructions he had not mentioned the Lottery bu siness ; but if it Was the opinion of the Commissioners it should he 'done, his cli:±nts were ready to do it. The Counsel for the 'Lottery Creditors insisted that the disclosure should be of all the effects of every kind,' and as the Lottery constituted nine,tentlis of the debts,. without them the statemenewas not complete. The Bankrupt said it 'would take- them some lime, as the accounts were voluminous. The Cominissioneregare them till Saturday the 31st instant,by uliich time they said they should be ready. On looking over the account produced by the Bankrupts, it appeared that no account had been dered of Mr. tralsh's landed proptrry.. which he:Was, epprised was absolutely necessary, although he rasa' Member of Parliament, to be laid before the Creditors.: Mr. Nisbett underwent very little'examinatien. • • A bond debt of 40001. lately due to the firm by Lord Moira occasioned considerable discussion : Mr. Walsh stating that the name of the Noble Debter had been cautionilf withheld, from - considerations of deli cacytowards him ; while Mr. Bish declared, that no such delicacy had been observed. Although the Earl's name appeared in the list of debtors, Mr.Waish observed that the money had been paid to Messrs. Dan: and Co. who were his Solicitors, and who, he understood, claimed a lien upon it. Mr. MONTAGUE, one of the Commissioners, expres sed his astonishment at such a circumstance, and de sired to know when this payment had been made. Mr. WALrs said, about a fortnight before the bank ruptcy. Mr. MONTAGUE recommended to the bankrupt to be prepared on this subject against the next meeting ; for; if deemed necessary, the Commissioners must be under the necessity of calling the Noble Lord before them ; an inconvenience to which he was satisfied his Lordsip would chearfully submit rather than the ends of justice should in any respect be defeated:• Bow-sraerr.—Thursday a paper parcel containing Ihalf . ..notes and bills, to the amount of about £BOO, tralable in London, was sent from the Chichester Bank by the new mail, directed to Messrs.

The folldwing maritime paragraphs appear in a Paris Paper of the Bth instant : " The privateer, the San Joseph, of St. Maio, arrived in hforlaix roads, on the 25th, bringing in with her an English three-masted vessed, carrying ten guns. She sailed front Liver pool, and was bound with a cargo of dry goods and four chestzef dollars, for the Cape de Verde Islands . The privateer has also on boa rd a ransom of 00,000 franks for an English transport, which she stopped on her passage from Comma to England, and which had on board 42 women and children. The San Joseph, being joined by those of her crew who were in charge of her prizes, is preparing to proceed again to sea. . . _ " On the 3d instant the privateer le Rodeur, of Boulogne, en tered Dieppe, with an American prize, calic,! the Hopewell, of 157 tons, which she captured on the coast of England.

" On the same day the Alexandrine privateer of Boulogne, arrived also at Dieppe, where she landed six prisoners, taken from on board the English vessel, driven ashore at Boulogne.— She was bound from Gibraltar with a cargo of wines for London." • Tns Pr.aus.—Yesterday Hyde Park afforded a very brilliant display of fashionable costume. The sombre sadness of the winter scene was r.4ieved by the appearance of dashing Belles, clad in pelisses of elegant make and beautiful colours. The trge is now predominant for ermine, crimson, gold lace, with — imperial purple, and our fair countrywomen promenade with magnificence suitable to Queens and Princesses. Scarlet cloaks, which have been much worn of 1 , , e, begin to disappear; dark green velvet mantles, with vandykes and narrow gold lace, of graceful and elegant appeas ante,are the novelty of the day. The furs worn as trimming to caps arid robes are so various, that a Naturalist may discover the coveting of every quadruped; the Tiger of the Torrid Zone, the Polar Bear, the Alpine Fox, and the subterraueous rabbit, are qually pillaged of their skins, to adorn the beauties of fashion.— By the aid of these friendly auxiliaries, they are enabled to defy the blast of stern winter; and ,while they exhibit themselves in pedestrian groups, the scene is cheerful and picturesque. Many delicate females did not venture to encounter the severity of the weather, b• he path from Piccadilly to Kensington was crawled by hardy Lures, wearing in their faces the th:ge of health, and the smile of hap; Iness.—The skaiting Arnatears were disappointed in their favo _ate amusement. It was expected, from the severity of the fros , bat the Serpentine would have been frozen, but the ice was nr. sufficiently hard to bear the wei t tit of a man. The trees in I Iyie Park have suffered much by the storm of Saturday night. A wry large limb of one tree in the Mall, St. James's Park, was torn from the parent trunk, and laid prostrate across the path. The parks have in other instances felt the approach sad friolence of the season. Saturday morning, at six o'clock, died, at his house in Hertford-street, the Earl of'LavEamot. His Lord- I ship was in the 80th year of his a t ge.• The immediate cause of his death was a disorder in the bowels, which in a very few days quite exhausted him. The Noble Earl never recovered the shock he received on the ac cident which happened to the Countess. When her' head-dress caught fire, recollecting that there were always two servants in the apartment of the Noble Lord, she burst into the room, and by the timely as sistance she received from the men the flames were extinguished, but the Noble Earl survived the alarm but a few days. By his death, the offices of Collec tor of the Customs Inwards for the Port of Letrdorr, and Clerk of the Pells in Ireland, have become vacant. His Lordship was twice married, and has left two sons, Lord HAWKESBURY, now Earl of Ltvauroos,, and the lion.

WiRTNABY. In this case an action was brought to recover un der policies of insurance, on. the ship Vigilante, and another, which were to sail with cargoes of beans and oats, from a port in the River Ems, to this country. The Vigilante did sail from her port, and had pro , ceeded a certain way down the river, when she was detained by a Dutch gan-brig, carried back, and, cn an application to the Hague, her cargo was after wards iv:stored to Mr. Wilson, who was the Plaintiff's Agent, and had shipped it on his account. The other vessel had never proceeded from the port where she had taken in ber cargo, but being deterred by the 'fate of the Vigilante, and by a decree which, in the mean time, Ilid been issued, retanded her cargo, and gave up the voyage.. - The policies having been ef fected, tn.seittre ; the two cargoes against alI captures or detentions by hostile po.%crs, it was now sought to recover undue &ern, ,as for a total loss on both car goes, an ,abando:uncut ii.:v in g been previously made. Mr. Serjcant Sitrmittto a.nll Mr. Serjcant Ben., on the part of the"l 3 ),,ithilf, c!early proved the detention of the Vigilante, and the subsequent abandonment. By a letter from Mr. Wilson too, it appeared that in reclaiming the cargo detained an ex?ence was incur red to the amount of 2081. Mr. Serjeant i.ms, for the Defendant, argued, that here no loss,.proVided for under the policy, had been incurred. The Vigilante, no doubt, had sailed from her port, but her detention had not been occa sioned by an hostile power, but by the Government of the country to which the port whence the Vigilante railed belonged, or some other friendly power, who, in detaining the ship and cargo, only wished to pre vent a forbidden intercourse between the subjects of that country and their enemies. As to the other ves sel, it was obvious that no claim whatever could lie, she never having even attempted to sail on her voyage. It was difficult, however, to conceive what loss had been at All sustained by the plaintiff. The cargoes were still at his own disposal, remaining in the hand of- his Agent; and might, for any thing known to the defendant, be even now in this-country. The fact, however, was, that the voyage was alto gether illegal, the port to which both vessels were to have sailed, though originally belonging to the King of Prussia, having before the date of the policies r and before the sailing of the vessels, become part of the . newly-erected kingdom of Westphalia, and as such fallen under the dominion of an alien enemy. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD, in addressing the Jury, con fessed the case to bean uncommon one. He was In -11/4dneed, however, to regard it as one in which an 'ace rage, and not a total toss should be allowed. Though • the Plaintiff had argued it as a total loss, there was • evidence of an average loss on the Vigilante, - by. which alone any voyage had been undertaken.• He could not, seeing that loss, recommend to the Jttry to find for the Defendant ; but still he should reserve to him to move the Court for a non-suit. The Viti. lante was insured for 5001., the loss sworn to by Wilson, in recovering the cargo, was, 2081. and the ,proportion of the 5001. now sought to be recovered was 1201. The Jury found for the Plaintiff an idetage loss— Damages, AliO. 13s. 4d. being exactly in the propor -4 Non which 1201. of 5001. bents to 2081. i 1 • On Monday, the 12th inst. in obedience to an unanimous judgment.of the Second Chamber df the Court of Session, I..OOKHE.
