The CibLIIISCI, honever, failina to make out his case by ev ideiiee, the pluton It was ii..iistoted. LAwroN, v. Bolton. Mr. Campbell stated this Cabe to the Jury. The plaintiff is an ingenious nieelsaine, a maker of gas ap paratus, the defendant was a West India Captain, trading to Jamaica, and being desirous of taking out a gasometer as an article of commercial speculation, he called on the plaintiff and ordered one to be made. The work was • ediately pm in hand, this was in 1818, in July. and the defendant went frequenily to see the wo.k in fa progress. When finished, it was shipped by the authority of the defendant, under the orders of a Mr. Nlascer, and it went to Jamaica. Subsequent:appli cation was made for payment, but without success, and the present action was brought to recover the amount of the plaintiff 'a demands. he defendant resisted payment on several grounds.— Amongst whets, that the order was not given to the present plaintiff, but to his 3011—that the order was not executed till long alier the time agreed on, in conse quence of which the defendant sailed without it, and it was sent after him ; and further, that it was made ten times larger titan the order specified, and was more fit to light a street than a shop, tor which it was intended. The consequence of which was, that it was thrown on the plaintiff's hands, and lie had left it unsold behind him. 'l'he theatre had indeed made him an oiler for it, but he could not accept it, as they offered hint bills its payment, and he did nut choose to depend on their credit. The Jury, after hearing the witnesses on bosh sides. found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1161. 16s. 2d. —Costs 40s. IRIDAY, JAN. 12. VENISLES V. BRASECIC. Mr. Scarlett sta7edtl;;caSel;Cl;.Tury. The plain tiff, he said, had to complain of as grievous an injury as any one co 11l etcial man could sustain from another.— Tue plaintiff was a merchant, formerly residing at Boor deals, and the defendant a merchant in London. In 1814 the plaintiff sent a cargo of brandy to this country on board a Russian ship called the Charles, with letters to the defendant, who hail undertaken to advise hint as to a proper port to which to scud it for sale, mentioning Lubec or Haniburgli, but at the same leaving it to the better judgment of the defendant to send it any where else. 'lnc defendant undertook the charge, hut did not send the cargo to either of the ports mentioned, but selected Datuzic, a port the most improper of any in the Baltic, there being no sale for the article at that port, although it was subjected to a very high duty and to various other charges. It would ap appear that these objections were well known to tae delentlatit, who, however, sent them there to serve his own purpose, as he :red the bills of lading to a house at I),ltitzic, with instructions that the pitsceeds of the cargo of the Charles should be returned in grab).— The Ilsiitzic house being to send 20,0001. worth of wheat to this country, fur the amount. The cargo ar rived at Dantzic, and the wheat was sent, but some dis pute arose respecting the acceptance on the part of the defendant. 'I he plaintiff's brandy found no sale, but the agents of the defendant, Upliageti and Co., 'emitted them as security for the wheat sent to the delendant, and in this state they were kept till 1816, when tleteinlairt settling his disputes %%tilt Upliagen, respecting the ac ceptances, the brandies were given up, and sent back to England, what remained of them unsold ; but such had been the waste, by leakage and otherwise, the insurance freight, re-shipment duties, and oilier expetices, that, on the account being stated, the plaintiff found that the cargo, which had originally cost hint 10,0001. hail pro duced oti sale only 23671. lid. 61, whilst the charges on it were 26421. 17s. Toe plaintiff hail, as lie alleged, sustained tilts loss through the miscooduct of the deten datst, and now sought to recover a compensation by the verdict of a Jury. Mr. Scarlet' called a number of wituesses to support this case. Mr. Marryatt, on the part of the defendant, addressed the Jury at Considerable lenoll, and contended that his client was nut liable. By his instructions he was bound to send die brandies to some port in the Baltic, and Datitzic, for any tholee, which appeared on die evitience, was as eligible as au), Baltic port which could have been selected. It the Upliagens had illegally detained the cargo lin a demaild against a tiiird person, and the plain tiff had been injured by that deteirtion, the Uplia 6 ens must answer for their ow', act, lie also put in letters to prove that the defendant had represenied to the plaintiff that the speculation of sending brandies to the Baltic was likely to prove unprofitable. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 6001. The case occupied the Court ten hours, and did not end till past • o'clock at night.. Leammorost SPA—Captain Stevenson has re signed the situation of Master of the Ceremonies— the annual value of which is now estimated at 8001. and the increase of which is certain from the pro gressive though rapid increase of this popular watering place. Several Candidates are already i❑ action, and we doubt nut but a spirited contest may be looked fir. Captain Lyon, R.N., who lately returned from the mission into the interior of Africa, is appointed to the Beaks, and to accompany Capt. Parry on the next expedition for the northern discovery, - NAPLES,—We have received letters and paper, direct from Naples to the 20th ult. The embark ation of the King took place on the 130, as before related, but he was detained by adverse winds and tempestuous weather in the Bay of Naples. We cannot describe the ceremony better than in quoting a passage from one of the private letters. " The embarkation," says the writer, " was a truly beau tiful sight. His Majesty was carried lion' the shore in the launch of the English Admiral, having tke Admiral on his right, and the Princess de Patern.s who accompanied him) on his left hand, At that instant a royal salute was fired from the French and English fleets at anchor in the bay, with colours flying, and the yard of every vessel manned. The royal standard of Naples was hoisted at the main of the lower, the moment the King came on board. The natural grandeur of the scene was increased by one of the finest days of the season, the sun shining brilliantly, and the sky without a cloud.— The ceremony, however, ha 3 scarcely terminated, when a very different spectacle was presented. The wind changed, the sky grew cloudy, the weather became turbulent, and by night had increased to a storm. In the darkness and confusion, the Vengeur and Revohdienaire ran foul of each other, and the former received so much damage, that both vessels put into Baia, where they remained till the 16th, on which day the royal party sailed with favourable winds for Leghorn. The event of the storm ope rating on the minds of a people naturally addicted to superstition, produced a thousand gloomy pre sages respecting the royal journey." Crakicst. DELICACY.—On Monday the 18th ult. a loyal address to her Majesty, which had been previously voted at a most numerous public meeting of the parish of Rotherhithe, was presented by a deputation headed by a banner, which banner was subsequently deposited in the Committee Room at the parish Workhouse. On the Wednesday follow ing, in discharge of a part of his duty, the Rector attended at the Workhouse, to read prayers, and perceiving the banner, sent the following christian like letter, directed to the Churchwardens of St. Mary, Rotherhithe:— " Rectory House Rotherhithe, Dec. tl. " Gentlemen,—Haring yesterday observed a flag belonging to your cavalcade of Monday lag conspicuously raised in the large room of the Workhouse of this parish, I take leave to say, that I shall nut again perform divine service in such Workhouse till this banner is removed from so unsuitable a place. " I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your very faithful servant, " It. JONES, D. 1)." To which the following very proper reply was sent : •• Sir,—We have received your letter of the 21st, and feel sur prised at the menacing and arrogant position you have taken. •• We are astonished at your presumption in attempting to dictate to us in what manner we are to conduct ourselves on public measures. The banner to which you allude has been placed by us in the Committee Room, where it will remain. •• ‘Ve should feel unworthy of the situation we till, were we to allow ourselves to be influenced by any party man, whatever his situation or pretensions may be. •• Before we conclude •we take leave to say,' that we are of opinion your time would have been much more suitably em ployed in the cultivation of the Christian graces of meekness and charity, and in the punctual and conscientious discharge of the various duties appertaitung to your clerical diameter. rather titan in matting a voluntary and unprwoked attack upon a respectable body of men, who have merely exercised a consutudonal and indisputable right. in common with a large niaiwity of their fellow-parishioners." Thus the business rests at present, and if the Reverend Rector adhere to his determination, the unfortunate inhabittuns of the Workhouse will be deprived of religious comfort and instruction, be cause this intolerant Priest is annoyed by the sight of this symbol of the joy felt by his parishioners at the detection and failure of an infamous conspiracy. One of the churchwardens, and the ringers of Charlton Alackrell, Somerset, having denied the right of the Rector (the Rev. Mr. Sharpe) to control the ringing of the church bells, the latter has con sulted Dr. Lushington on the subject, and the following is the substance of the Doctor's opinion on the questions put to him by the Rector:— " That the CUIIIVIII of the ,ter ( whether incumbent or curate) is iircesany to authorize the ringing of bells in the church; and that the consent of either or built churchwardens, without the .ler's consent, is nut sufficient. '1 hat the ' ' ter's consent to the tinging of the hells must alis Ays ilt bad: if the two churchwardens differ, the consent of the minister and one chnrchwarden would lie sufficient; but the consent of the minister against both churchwardens wuul4 nut justify the ringitig, nor would the consent of lath churchwardens against the minister authorise it. That tbe 'roadster has authority to limit the time of ringing, and that the ringers are bound to obey him. And that no person has a right, without the consent of the minister (whether isee iiiii bent or curate), to place fiazs, garlands, or any thing else, either iu or upon the chinch, or in the cl u tch-card." It was expected that the Dividends now paying on the Three per Cents. would have been paid in the new Bank notes, but they are not, to the great dis appointment of the public, nor is any time specified when they are to be issued. Every day's delay is it matter of regret, as it is expected that they will, in a great degree, diminish the number of timgeries. We received u private letter on Saturday morning from Dublin, stating that persons connected with he Governhent there are now printing iu that c:ty, the speeches Jim the late prosecution against the Queen, with the intention of circulating them gratis in Ireland.

Mr. Gurney stated, that this was au action by the plaintiff, an East India Captain, to recover from Mr. Bat comb, a merchant, at St. Helena, 1211. for goods sold and money received fur his use. The defendant pleaded, first, that he aes tiot liable, and, secondly, the statute of limitation. The last idea he should dispose of by proving an application within the last six years, and as to has lia bility, the following were the circumstances out of which it muse :—ln 184 the plaintiff delivered to the defendant, un his tuna hiaag at St. Helena, several different sorts of goods lo be sold. Ainougst them were 12 a bolts of Bengal canvas, which Mr. Balconib was was to sell at St. Helena if he could get 41.105. per bolt for it; if it would not fetch that price, it was to be sent to Mr. Amyott, the philutiff's agent at the Cape of Good Hope, and to be represented as Portuguese goods, to avoid the objection to them as India goods at the Cape. In 1810, when the plaintiff again touched at the Cape, Mr. BiliC44lll deli vered him an account of Sa bolts sold on the island, and stated t h at the other 40 had been sent to Rio Janeiro, and sold there to a person named Hall, on whom in England the detendant gave plaintiff an order to receive the pro duce, 1211..5. 6d. Plaintiff took the order, but could never dud Mr. Hall, and now sought payment of the defendant, on the grounds of his having disposed of the goods to Hall contrary to his instructions, which were, to seed them to Mr. Amyistt at the Cape. Mr. Marryalt, for the defendant, contended, that his client was instructed to soul the goods to the Cape by way of Rio; in no other way could they have had the ap pearauce of Portuguese goods given to them; and further he contended, that the present form of actives for money had and received, and for not accounting fur the goods, could out be supported. No money had been received, and the defendant had accuunted fur the in which they had been disposed of. The Chief Justice said, if there bad been a collusion to represent these goods as Portuguese, to evade the Nevi gation Act, neither party could sustain an action. It there was no such collusion, be was still of opinion this was not the proper form of acsion ; it should have bets, an action of 'rover. He should nonskid the platutitt, giving him leave to move to set aside that tionsiiii, and bare a verdict entered for the amount of his deniand.— Plaiutiff uousuited. COWIE V. HALSALL.
