B sTEM IT4 V. Sttoy.—The plaintiff in this case was a widow woman, nod owner of a house, the occupier of which hail be. tome considerably in :wear fur rent. She in cousetplence directed the defendant, %%Ito is a broker, to make a distiew ma the premises for a qualoer's rent, amounting to 111. Ili.. :id., free of all (I-auctions. The defendant proceeded accordingly to make the levy, and having done so, he waited o at th e p l a i n . tiff, and tendered her $l. 12... and receipts for land tax and sewers rate paid by the tenant, for 31. 4s.bil. making loge. ther the amount of the quartet's ueut. Mrs. Bateman re fine. eil to receive this . , and insisted oil the defendant paying lice the full sum which lie had been iustreeted to levy, and the defendant refusing to do so, she brought the preient ac tion. CI. 124. had been paid into court by the defendant. Mr. Agar, for the defendant, contended that his client had coaductcd•himself in n perfectly legal way ; lie was hound to allow the tenant the amount of taxes paiil by hint. 'the Act of Parliament providing that they should in the first instance, be paid by the tenant, and afterwards be deducted from the rent. The Learned Judge, on the Act of Parliament being pro. duced, held that such was the law, unless there was a specific agreement to the contrary, which there did not appear to be in the present cave. The plaintiff not proving any such speci fic agt cement was nonsuited. Extract of a letter from a Mr. B. formerly a manu facturer in Manchester PHILADELPHIA, Se PT. IL—According to the promise I Made you, when we parted at Liverpool, I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to give you all the information in my power relative to my situation and prospects here, premising that my stock of information cannot be very extensive, as only arrived the latter end of July. I was detained nearly six weeks at Cork, waiting for an opportunity to ship the at. tides I brought with me, and without which my coining here would have been worse than useless. At last, a tavoura'►le moment arrived. and all was g•tt safely on hoard, and escaped the prying vigilance of the Custom house officers; and we arrived here after a pleasant passage of 29 days. I immedi ately waited on our mottle! friend, Morrison, and found that by his exertions, the extensive ',remises we were In occupy, were in a considerable state of forwardness, so that by Christ mas at farthest we expect to begin our operations. In the interim, my time will be fully occupied in superintending the construction of the machinery, from the tnotlels I brought with me. I liod the mechanics here far behind those in Eng land; and, were it not for the tin re I brought with me, I should quite despair of ever completing the arduous task in which we have engagrd. I can say little of this country at present, tiot having been a mile beyond the limits of the city since I arrived. I have, however, met with many whom I knew in England. There are, indeed, many hundreds here who have recently emigrated from the United Kingdom; and not a vessel arrives that does not bring an accession to their numbers ; among them are many who are extremely dissatis fied, awl are resolved on rewriting again to England. This is not to be woodered at, when we consider the many thou sands that are continually emigrating here without ally pre. concerted plan. or the least knowledge of the country. Many of these, if they do nut meet with situations in the place where they first land, immediately feel disgusted with every thing around them ; and, instead of penetrating to the interior towns of the Union, where there is, I am well informed, room for eoun•less myriads in all the useful and handicraft professions, they fall into a state of Is-Burgin stupor, and sigh for their native country. I advise no man to emigrate who feels hime self comfortable at home ; and above all, I would have 11011 come here who imagine they can procure a comfortable live ).hood with less exertion than is required in their native coun try. There are too snail, idlers here already dissatisfied and disgusted with their change. The Consul's office is daily beset by these, who having remained until they have expend— ed all their money, arc craving to be sent back as distressed British subjects; and many are sent at the expense of the En glish Government to Canada. In short, I would have every man who wishes to emigrate, to well weigh every circumstance before lie makes up his mind on so set ions a measure—i u ulas_ try, prudence, and economy, are quite as requisite here. to enable persons to make their way through life, as they are in England, or any other part of the globe ; and without these esseutial requisites, a mate be hi: profession what it may, only exchanges for the worst. What surprise‘` me is, the Omit. tress of all articles of English inatintactitle. Manches. ter goods can be purchased; here, and, I am informed, in all the sea ports of lilt Ulllllll, fur very little noire than what they can be procured for Ul/ the spot. But this lam credibly informed will not long he the C.1711' ; fur us the infant wtauu• factures increase, a higher duty will he laid on importation."

From the Dominica Chronicle, dated Roseau. July 8 :—A circumstance has n ith:n the last few days been reported to us, which, for the honour of the human character, as well as front the respect which is tine to the hospitality that the Spa• 'dards of each party have experienced from the Government of our Colonies, when constrained to seek refuge in them, we hope will prove Oil further elucidation to have no truth. The report, as stated to us, is, that about the IBM or 19th ult., a small vessel, bearing, the independent flag, soiled from Ore several British officers on board, for the purpose of joining the standalli of that party in Venezuela ; that at the time of their sailing a Spanish vessel of war, in the inter. gists of the Royalists, was lying in the harbour, undergoing some repairs, but immediately sailed in purse it of her unarm ed oppommt, which she is supposed shortly to have overtaken, and that the whole crew of the small vessel, amounting to seventeen or eighteen persons, had been murdered by their barbarous pursuers; as the Spanish brig returned the next morning to her anchorage at Grenada, and on her crew being mustm ed by order of the Governor of that bland, in cone (pence (Aare suspicion attached to her, we are assured that several were found deficient; which was supposed to have been occasioned by a desperate effort on the part of the un. fortunate British officers to board the superior opponent, although the Spaniards denied having overtaken them, and would give no satisfactory explanation of the cause of the de• ficiency in their crew.

Glider the existing laws of the Island of Guernsey no warrant either from the Judges of the King's or other :Magistrates, can be executed there, and it was found. necessary to assemble the Privy emitted of London, and the Prince liegent (acting for the King) to sign the %attain for the arrest of the prisoner, who was on Sales. day eontinitted to Kilmainhain gaol, in older for transmission to Sligo, to abide his trial at the next assi!es.

OCT. 1 e 4CCIDENTS AT NOTTINGHAM. [Front the Nottingham Better.] The body of the unfortunate malt, who was the rinse of the late di eadhil accident was blown across the canal and the balding path into the meadows, over what is called the ket's Leen, un the opposite bank of which, it appears as though the hotly first touched the ground ; one °flies legs were leer here, whifu the other mutilated parts of his body were propelled with great violence aleng the ground, at least dozen yards t i mber, leasing a hideous track of blood and brains, pieces of u!sull and thsh.

We now pass ou to the other victims of this heart rending eatos tiophe ; and perhaps the first that claims our notice is .1 he Howell, a boy aged only 11, the son of one of the book keepet s belonging to the concern, who resided at a house in the yard. This youth, like the rest of his fellow-suchrers„ presented a horrid spectacle; not a feature could be recog nized, and their bodies, or rather hunks, were so mangteJ that it Will9l only by their (Jointlys they could be identified. About 30 yards east of the Wilding, in a direct line front it, stood Mr. Julio Pyatt, a respectable whartinger of this town, who proviiientially escaped unhurt ; he was at the moment ceiling to three of his men, and giving them directions about the loading of a cart they were drawing in the yard, one at the shafts and two pushing behind. Being in a northerly direction, they fell victims to the blast, and were driven with the utmost violence towards the large gates.—Their name* were John Scales, a single man, aged 30, who lived at what is called the barracks, iu High-cross-street; William Norman, living at the same place, aged 60, a widower, with no tamily dependent on him; and William Stevenson of Stevenson, aged 23, who It id represented himself as coming front Leicester.

This 111J11 had only been three days In Mr. Psattli employ. The nest subject of fatal nit-- fortune whom we shall notice, is William Parker, aged only 15, the son of a poor malt, living at Carlton, in this emelt botirhuod.
