There was one such seaman on board ; it was true 40 bad heeu spoken to. If the vesselton traveuettthe laws, it must be answerable for the consequences. (Hear, hear.) It must depart as a merchant vessel. Col. DAVIS said he was perfectly satisfied with the explana tion. What he had stated bad been communicated to him on good authority. Mr. W.

Mr. HUME hail raised no question on that subject; but be newel question the propriety of appointing Mr. Plunkett to be one wif the commissioners. He was too young a man, he Lad not experience enough for such an office. Mr. GOULBURN said, whatever might be Mr. Plunkett's age, he mast deny that such gentleman was deficient in the re ea isite experience and ability. Petition ordered to be printed. ALIEN 13114..—Mr. PEEL moved the third reading of the Aliens' Regulation Bill. Mr. BERNAL opposed the bill, though the state of the house did not encourage him to go iuto any details. The bill was now avowedly a precautionary measure ' - it was not to meet a speci fi c evil, but it was a bill perpetual in its principle. Mr. WETHERELL strongly supported the bill. Such a power must be lodged somewhere; and Aire could it be lodged with more advantage, with more security, than with the Crown ? Mr. DENMAN opposed the bill, contending that its principle was unjust, and that it operated most injuriously, as far as the character and best interests of the country were concerned. Sir R. WILSON also opposed the No. There was not in all the Peninsular Governments any thing which at all resem bied an Alien Bil , and it was disgraceful to the British Go vernment to have one in this country. He considered the bill es derogatory to oar character abroad, and injurious to our interests at home. He had no donbt the bill would pass this night, but it was satisfactory to him to know that an hon. friend of his, the member for the city of Durham, would move its repeal et an early period of the next session. Colonel STANHOPE defended the bill, which he said, so far from oppressing foreigners, protected them. The well dis posed Ibreigner, who came Isere for business or pleasure, would find the country open to him for either of these purposes; all that this bill did was to prevent the ill-disposed and desiguing from making this country tbepestthouse of Europe. Mr.ScarFett and Mr. Lockhart opposed the bill. After some further debate the question for the third reading was carried, on a division, by a large majority, and the bill was passed. • 1,• The other orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned.

In July, 1816, from Liverpool for the coast of Africa, purpose a., g home a cargo of palm oil. On the Nor. following, .. cargo, of which one-fourth belonged to the bankrupt Jones, was insured tbr 4,5001. In Muy or June, 1817, Jones received a letter from the Captain, dated Nov. 1816, stating that the vessel was then at Bonita, that lie expected to complete the stamps in ten maths, and would write by every opportunity. This, however, was the only letter be received front idin. Oa the Gth of Sept. 1817, :ones Wrote to his brokers in Londln to..elfect an additional inmr- Wince of 0001. upon the cargo ; iu consequence of which, the present' policy was executed •on the Stir. On the 10th Jones wrote another letter to his brokers, stating that his reason for making the additional insurance was the uneasiness .of Mrs. Roberts, the captain's wile, at the vessel being so long past due. It turned out that the vessel was wrecked off Prince's Island, and the captain and two mates being dead, the Portu guese Governor took possession of the cargo, and sold it for the benefit of the parties. The amount of the first insurance was paid ; and the present action was brought to recover 2501. the bankrupt's share of the last policy, which was resisted on the ground that when effecting the insurance, be lied not com• municated to the underwriter the receipt and contents of the car t ( ain't letter, by which he would have been enabled to form airtime accurate judgmelt of the risk he was encountering. The Lord ChiefJusillie having recapitulated the evidence, The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2501. GALE AND ANOTHER V. JONES. This was an action of (rover brought by the assignees of John Wilkinson, an alleged bankrupt, to recover the amount of a quantity of oil from the defendant. The cue turned upon the question, whether Mr. Wilkinson wan or was not a trader within the meaning of the bankrupt taws ; to establish the affir mative of which, Mr. Scarlett, the lesdin; counsel for the plaintill's, stated that he wasifiepared to otter some additional evidence to that which had been adduced in the other cue on Saturday last; but being afterwards unable to produce the evidence lie ea peeled, he said he would submit to a oonattit ; and the plaintilts were accordingly Galled. e4t principal proprietors of Visnxball-gardees, attended slice to prefer a complaint against William and John brothers and linen-drapes, of New-street, Covent ' Edward Lancaster, woollen-draper, of Taristock wing given very great and general offence to the Monday night. defendants were, upon presenting themselves to the .1. Chambers, Esq. dressed lake shopkeepers.— .axhall, they had green oeck kerchiefs round their wore coats and trowsers which in cut and colour td with those ornaments. stated, that at I I o'clock the defendants entered and showed at that moment a disposition to insult . They hallooed through the walks, broke through companies, knocked •off the hats of gentlemen, and iln every respect the conduct of the theatricsl heroes example had operated so much to the injury of the lower There were tunny pet sons of distinction in the gardens at the titne,and the chief proprietors thought proper, upon learn ing tint the defendants were persevering in this scandalous course of amusement, lirst, to send Mr. Simpson, the superin tendent, to expostulate with them, and afterwards to place them is the hands of the police. Mr. Simpson's interference Inning produced no other effort titan that of exasperating them to a more offensive line of conduct, the advice and threats of the officers were laughed at by the three gentlemen, who continued to perform the parts they had selected to astonish the pnblio in, until they were collared and dragged out of the gardens to the watchhouse. Hall, the officer deposed, that by the direction of Mr. Simp son, be followed the defendants, and saw them insult several gentlemen. There were other fellows Au the gardens, who wit ness believed, were of the same party, and constituted a very formidable gang ; but when the defendants were disposed of all order was quickly restored. One man appenred in a Highland dices, and having attracted notice by that singularity, and by a very close imitation 01 the Tom and Jerry school, occasicnally drew a dagger, to the terror of the ladies, and brandished it in a most theattic.4l manner. This gentleman became as quiet as the rest, upon finding that the proprietors were determined to remove all blackguards, Witness added, that the defendants • told him they ss cot to the gardens to have a lark. Mr. Chambers expreowd great indignation at the condnct pursued by the defendants, and highly approved of Mr. Bisti's determination to bring such offenders to justice. There were, he observed, two courses to be proposed—the one was a pro secution ; the other a fine, upon pain of prosecution, and a public apology in the newspapers. Either of these would be satisfac tory, but one of them was indispensably necessary, as well fur the sake of the proprietors as of the public. Mr. fish said heshould proceed upon the suggestion of the magistrate, and the defendants declared that they were ready to comply with the mild alternative proposed by Mr. Chambers.-s- They had, they said, drank too much wine. The proprietors merely demanded, that in order to pre ♦ent a prosecution the stun of forty shillings each should bo paid by the defendants, and that the apology should be signed upon the-spot. This being done, the money was sent off to the committee now sitting for the relief of the famishing Irish. Mr. fish declared that the proprietors had determined to have this gardens most v i ilan fly ss atched, and to punish every person who disturbed the company. Norma AND GENEROU3 A cr.—Tnestlay-week, being his halt.yearly rent-day, Thos. Strickland, Etq. assem bled his tenantry at Stzergh, where they partook of an excellent dinner, and alter the cloth was drawn. and a tew agricultural sentiments were d k, T. Strickland, Esq. rose, and expressed himself to the following purport: Gentlemen, it is the fiat time I have have had the pleasure of meeting my tenantry on such an occasion ; and I do assure you I am highly gratified at seeing you all around time, and it shall always be my entleavoi.r to • sties , / you creryitossible indulgence to make you com. fortahle. thorouAly convinced you have used every exertion, during the depressed state of the times ; and from the various reports I have read, and from my own local knowledge, I well know th t the distress of the agriculturist is great. I have, therefore, given orders to my agent to draw his pen across all arrears due to me • prevtous to last Christmas. The heartfelt gratitude of the truantry, for this noble act of their generous land lot d, was expressed in a manner which made the ancient nail re-echo. This is an act which needs no comment. Ott Tuesday afternoon a poor wretched woman Milled Catherine CAL., went into the shop of Mr. Palmer, linen-draper, Ketightsbnilge, under pretence of purcha•- ing half a yard of cheap muslin, and whilst the shop men were otherways engaged, contrived to conceal set e ral yards of diaper under hc•r clothes. On her leaving. . the shop one of the shopitten perceiving her ra►her bulky, followed het to the d tor, and stow her with•the diaper. She WI Ott her knees and implored tue.cy, stating that ,he was compelled by distress to commit the act. By this Bute a constable arrived and took her to %eaten- house, fastened her in, and left her. In the evening the constable coming to set the watch, found her suspended with her shawl by the neck front one of the bars of hr r priton win w. She was still warm, and every means met! to re,fnre her, but in vain ; tl,e vital spark had fled.- A coroner's inquest %vat held on the bod, and a person of deplorable appearance claimed her as I sister ; said• they had lately come from Margate to Loudon; that their way of obtaining a livebliood was ‘ery precarious; that the deceased frequently quarrelled with her, and, upon the whole, the Jury were humanely unanimous—lna( the deceased caine to her death by hanging herself in a fit of lunacy. 0,1 Sunday morning Mr. Thorn 14 G i •A c y, ab ou t 19- a years of age, clerk ill a solicitor's (Mice in MC Temple. • look a boat from the old Barge-house, to Kobe riser Twines; on getting into tile of the rive: he stripped off his clothes, and grim:: g , .od swami') r ho plunged in, and was instantly st .1, it is supposed. with the cramp, lie immediately stuck.

HOW-STHEF.T. ALLEGED FRAUD iron 771 E NUirit.iTY.--James Phil lip', au elderly mail, of very respectable appearance, was twilight before Sir R. Ilirnie, in the custody of Timeless, one of the principal officers, charged by Mr. Folowes, Secretary to the Lord Great Chamberlain of England, with having obtained money rum' a great number ut no blemen, nutter the pretence that he was autlicnized to receive " Coronation Fees." The prisoner was appre hended by Tannton, upon a warrant under the statute fur obtaining money under false pretences, issued at the suit of Mr. Fellowes. Mr. Fellowes stated, that the defendant, during the trial of tier late Majesty in the Hunee of Lords, and for souse time subsequent, held • subordinate situation in the office of the Lord Great Chamberlain, from which lie was dis missed fur some irregularity soon after the King's Coro nation last year. He (Mr. Fellowes) immediately after the opening of the present sessions of Cattlemen/ went to the Continent, where he had been residing until within these few days, when lie returned to the duties of his office, and was informed by Lord Gwydyr, the late Great Chamberlain, that complaints had been made by Lord Delastiere and other noblemen, that a mau, pretending to have authority ('tom the Great Chambeilatit's office, had had been collecting sums of money from peers, as coro nation tees, he having a book with hint st•issped with " G IC" and " Lord Great Chanthet litin's office" in gold letters. The fraud, probably, would not have been disco. vered, but that sonic noblemen, thiektog it a very extra ordinary cite (mice that lees of one and two emineati should be solicited in the 'moue of the Lord Great Chem ise' lain of England, couceived it proper to mention it to Lord Gwytlyr. 'Taunton, the officer, stated, that be apprebetilled the defendant at his house iii Crown-street, 11 estiiiiiister, and upon asking h i nt it he had a book with the IlaaleS olpeers in it, lie gave up one which witness now produeett Mr. Pitillips said, lie thought it altogether an e aor dinary charge, and denied that be hail been guilty of any fraud. He had been told that it was a c wawa', hoist time immemorial, to solicit Donations from the peers of the realm atter a coronation, nod as lie had • large family, apt conceived he had a right to do so, lie set about it, thinking that if any thing was to be gut, lie might as well have the benefit oh it. • lie had dime the thing lan ly and openly.
