By Major W. H. COURT. Late Resident at the Court of PaTombeau. and Resident and Commandant of the Island of Ba nca. London: Printed for Utak Kligsbury, Parbury and Allan in which he said, " I inclose you the bills, you are aware that unless you can at once procure cash for the twelve month's bills, it will do no good." He also produced a letter of Sir T. C.'s to Mr. Park, dated Sept. 8, in which he said, " I know but one principle for an honest man to act to—do as you will be done by—only change places, and say, if you bad given me security for 20001., as I have given you, and received nothing id return, what would you say ? All I now ask is the titer* of my securities." After these ac knswledgitrentseaderSir T. C.'s own hand that be had sent the bills to tire defendant, and that be had so fully consented te•bis passing them to Mr. Park, who was the present /older, as to call it his own act ; it was iregostildirai tufty that the bills were taken or dis posed oebythe defendant without Sir T. Champneys' consent.' 'The case of Eccles was considered an ex treme cue, and in all the cases quoted by Mr. Alley, money waegiven, and the party accused had run away with it, 44 in the present case the defendant had been backward ind forward with the prosecutor twenty times during the aegociation. If any advantage was taken of Sir T. C., it was a fit subject for a Court of Law or Equity, but certainly not for a criminal prosecution. If it were, one half of those who trans acted business on the Royal Exchange might be brought before the Lord Mayor in a week on charges of felony. The object of the prosecution, no doubt, was to have the defendant sent to prison till the next Assizes, in the expectation, that while ander pressure he might give up the bill withont obtAining what be had advanced ; but if the Bench had any doubt, the de fendant was ready to give security for his appearance, and certainly they would not take the extraordinary step of committing him to prison. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, he was also instructed, though it could notlpow be proved, that besides the hundred guinea■ Sir Thomas Chatnpney admitted he had re ceived from the defendant, he bad also received 1501. and ten gold watches value 301. each. Sir T. Champneys indignantly denied having ever received in any way more than 100 guineas, and con ceiving Mr. Adolphus's statement an imputatation on Isis veracity, warmly declared he would not allow the Learned Gentleman to use language there which no wan dared to use outside the door.

STROMNI9I, SEPT. 13.—The ship Ellison, Captain Johnson, airived here, all It ell, with 13 large fish, 170 tuns of oil, and brings the following intelligence Was in company with the Grenville Bay, (on her passage home) with fish. The on the 20th May, with one fish, left the South West, for the purpose of going up the country, bet when she had got as far is lat. 65. long. 56. West, she was met by a complete barrier of ice, which compel.. led Ler to proceed down the Straits to the S. W. fish ing ground again, where she remained until the 12th of Jane, when she again went up the Straits, to the former latitude, but was obliged to return. In the month of July, she made another attempt, but was equally unsuccessful in getting farther up the Strait*, being met by the same insurmountable barrier of lee. She left the fishing ground, for England, on the 12th of Ang. From the state of fishing at the S. W., Capt. Johnson could not say what the success of the ships up the Straits might be. He mentioned his haring felt the country very cold; indeed so much so, that when leaving the Straits, the cold was as severe as at many seasons when making the Straits. SEPT. 17.—The ship Fame, Captain Scoresby, sen. of Whitby, pissed here on the 15th, all well, with 9 fish, 1.10 tuns of oil, on hoard of which vessel there were some persons for the purpose of attempting an improvement in the present system of taking whales, which was found to succeed beyond expectation, they having actually killed one fish ; the fish was first strwit in the usual way, with a hand harpoon, when the Con greve rocket was immediately fired into the fish, which almost instantaneously caused death.

G reat Ryder-street, St. Jamey's, resiiisoce of the inventor. : 17 X lON-HALL.—ileary Palmer, who good charged by Sir Thomas Champneys with having fraudulently obtained from him upwards of 2,00111. in hills, came up yesterday, accompanied by his bail, for final ex amination. Mr. ALLEY, as counsel for the prosecutor, commen ced the proceeding by calling Sir Thomas Cliampnevs, who proved that none of his property had been re: nrned. Sir 'l'. Chainpneys was cross-examined by Mr. Adol phus, the defendant's counsel, and stated that he had not received any watches from the defendant. and that there was not the least pretence for saying he hail, nor had he received a sum of 150/. He accepted one of the bills for 201. to buy stamps for the other hills. Mr. ALLEY then addressed the Magistrates. The result of a very long consideration was, lie said, tlm ant's firm conviction upon his mind that the Le f 1 conduct amounted to a felony at common law. The definition of felony was, he stated, a fraudulent ob taining of property against the will of the owner. Sir 'P. Champneys had proved the manner in which the property had been obtained by the defendant, and there was not a particle of evidence to contradict his testimony. Sir T. Champney, in confidences, on the defendant's representation, had given him hill to the amount of 2,0001. and a bill of 201. for stilly:. The defendant had promised to return the bills or the money, in one instance in ten days, in the other in 7 days. The only question to constitute the felony was, had the defendant obtained the bills against the will of the owner? To a common observer it would ap pear that he had not, as Sir T. Champnrys had freely and unsaipectingly given them to him ; hat the law said, that if he obtained them by a fraudulent contri vance, it was not with the owner's free will ; and though he had the actual, he had not the legal posses sion. In the case of Eccles, Mr. Edwards from whom he obtained the bill, on the promise of getting it dis counted, gave it to him freely, though on eonsidera ti,in be sent his clerk to follow Eccles. E.:cles made away with the bill, and it was decided that he had been guilty of felony. In the case of Campbell, the mistress of the house in which lie lodged, sent to him to his room a 25/. note to change. He said he had not the change, but took out the note to obtain it.— lie did not return, and it was decided that lie had committed a felony. Such was also the case of Walsh, who had been entrusted with the sum of 50,0001. by Sir Thomas Planter, and having run away with the money was found guilty of felony. The Learned Gentle man quoted many similar cases, which he contended all proved that Sir T. C. had never given the defendant legal possession of the bill in question. lie hail only given the actual possession on a fraudulent represent ation made by the defendant, and the 100 guineas which the defendant gave to Sir T. C. on the first bill of 5001, must be considered as a part of the artifice by which he obtained the 15001. subsequently given ; and if this should he the opinion of a Jury, there was no doubt that the defendant's conduct amounted to a felony. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in rely, said the defendant had been in basieess for years on the'lloyal Exchange, and had never absconded for a moment. It was ad mitted by Sir T. C. that be gave the bills to the de-1 feadant to get them discounted ; that he had received a 100 guineas on account, and that one of them lead i been applied to the payment of stamps and expences ; if the defendant bad no other claim en the bills, be • was justified in .boiling them tilt these sums were paid. The Learned Gentleman here read a letter of .Sir defendant, dated the - 2Stli of Aug. Mr. A i.t.Ev said, he-had no wish that the defendant should be committed to prison till the Assizes; he might be tried at the Sessions. It was most untruly stated abakOif T.4,l, : bad reeei wed faun the defendant 3001. worth of wa'eltes, or any property of any kind except the hundred guineas, and he had a gentleman in Court who could prove that the defendant had him self acknowledged, on the sth of September, that he never gave Sir T. C. any thing butthe 100 guineas. Mr. AbLes, one of the Magistrates, desired Sir T. Champn'rto em plain how he - came to know that the bills were in Mr. Park's possession, and whether it was at his desire they had been given by the defendant to him? Sir T. Champneys stated, that when the defendant called on him toe second time about the Canteen, he said it was Mr. Par.:'s property, that he was a man whose bills would pass for '20,00111.: that if Sir. T. C. would go to the extent of 2,000 L, a . negociation might take place; that led to the introduction of Mr. Park, hot Sir T. C. positively declared that Le bad never taken property or money from him in any way. The claret that had been mentioned was never in his (Sir T. C.'s) possession. The defendant told him it was bought from Captain Golf. Some time a ter Air. Park called on him, and ea ntioned him against the de fendant; said that be knew that he (Sir T. C.) had been used, but declared that he should not sleep till he ha•i brought bins 1,50/. Park then said " !ou t aliont tee claret in my cellar ?" Sir 'l'. C. expressed great snrerise at hearing that Park had the claret, the defendant having tul,l him in Leicester-spare. Sir T. th , n sail to Park, as lie had the wine in his pessession he (Sir T. C.) would authorise hisn to keep it till he 'twilit be paid the 1501. he promised to ad vance, and in l'ark's presence he wrote an acknow led,.cement of haying reeeived that son from him, and a consent for his keeping the wine till lie should be re paid. This note he sent to Park by his servant, ex pecting to receive the money in retnrn; but Park came the next day, and said the defendant had taken the wine out of his possession. Sir T. Chatnpneys pro seeded to state further particulars of his transactions with the parties, to which, in the present stage of the proceedings, it might be proper to give publicity. After Sir T. C. had concluded his statement, Mr. ALLEY said, it appeared to him that a sufficient case had been made out against the defendant to send him to trial for a misdemeanour ; and after some dis cussion it wis determined that he should stand out un his present hail for 48 hours, within which time be should give bailie the amount of 2,0001. for bis ap pearance at the next Sessions to take his trial. Mr. ADOLPHUS made, a proposal on the part of the defendant, that he should lodge all the bills in the hands of an officer of the Court, provided Sir T. C. would lodge 5501., which the defendant had advanced on them, and abide the result of an arbitration or trial at law, to determine the justice of the defendant'sclaim. Mr. ALLEY rejected the proposal with indignation. He said it was an insult to public justice, after the evi dence Sir T. C. had given, for the defendant to make such a proposal. He, for his part, should feel , himself disgraced if he were to become a party to such a com promise. After the examination was concluded, Mr. Park, who was present while it was going on, came forward, and said he courted inquiry into hie conduct. In the course of the examination Sir Thomas Champneys said, that by a late valuation, his property was estimated at 350.0001. M•TRIMONIAL CoNsot.artox.—At Antrim Assizes on the 14tb instant, A. Stewart was conVicted of steal: ing a hat, and sentenced to be ttanspottzd for seteil yesrs. The prisoner, er► meeivieglesteace, said," ft ,*is better than I bad marriage." r tx . 1 The petrified remains of a very large marine animal have been found in a quarry on the top of a hill near Bruwyard. They were unfortunately removed from the quarry by the workman, broken to pieces, and car ried upon the roads in the neighbom hood. Only a part of them hays in consequence been preserved, yet sufficient to slew!that the animal to which they once belonged, must hare been one of no common kind or size. It appears to have lain on the sttrfare of a free stone rock, and was covered by a thick stratum of ytl lowish coloured marle. Never was the petrefactive process more complete ; the different pieces are literally masses of stone, only distinguishable ..as the parts of an animal by their exterior form.—(HertfoN/ Journal.) ROUTING OP A BAND OP SMUGGLIMS.—The Excise of Crielf and its vicinity, with their characteristic vi gilance and assiduity for the suppression of smuggling, having learned, that that daring band of smugglers, de nominated " The Stirling Band," were to go through the country, towards the louth, in the prosecution of their illicit traffic, determined, if possible, to seize the whole, or a part of them. The Excise, accordingly, who wene our, proceeded to different quarters, aided by a small party Of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, who are stationed in Crielf for this purpose, and the Ex cise awl Dragoons who went to the Bridge of Kinkel', sarcertled, upon the morning of the IBth instant, in seizing three horses, with their burdens of smuggled whisky. The riders made their escape through the woods and plantations of Strathallan, not being at all willing to come into contact with the Excise and Dra goons. Some of the smugglers, panic struck, threw off their burdens and Ned for safety. The rest of the hand; consisting of about seventeen, having received notice of the c atastroplie, either returned or made their escape, by some other direction. The horses anti aquavitte, &e. were brooglit into trieff, upon the forenoon of the 18th. Sup i an example, it is trusted, will teach this band the temerity of their conduct in their violent attempts, avowedly soil perseveringly, to infringe the l a w s o f th e i r e:tuntrv. This shows the necessity of having a parts of Dragoons stationed throughout the country, without whom, it would be most difficult to suppress such (lan. ing characters WI the Stirling band. _ HO :MULE ASSASSINATII.N.—A Correspondent, re sident at South Shields, sends the following dreadful det ill, being an extract from a letter received by the wife of a seaman on board the slip Greenwich, a South Sea whaler : " Ship Greenwich, Jan. 7.—On the 25th of Novem ber last, at sa. m. we heard a noise in the cabin, and the second mate, C. Woods, rushed from the deck to ascertain the cause, but was met on the cabin ladder by a man, a native of Lima, who immediately stabbed, him in the breast, and ran forward along the deck and stabbed A. Ducent, then lying on the a indlass, and af terwards ran about the deck stabbing five other men ; he then jumped overboard. IVe found the Captain and chief mate in the cabin, stabbed in the breasts. The Captain's name is 11. Hammet, and chief mate's J. Snipper. Thus I have given you as faithful an ac count as lam able 4this transaction.

It is so much tilepraciice of those who have made any discoveries, from which they hope advantage by laying them before the public, to speak to the most extrava gant terms of their merits, that the discerning hesitate to patronise them, lest they should become the victims of quackery. A similar prejudice operates against the Honest dealer, who, conscious of the superiority of the commodity which he supplies, and satisfied with a mo derate profit, looks for remuneration in an extension of his business. Mr. CHAPMAN, however, seems to enjoy an ample share of public confidence ; but to meet the objections of the most fastidious who may wish to pur chase his ALE and Baja, yet doubts its genuineness, he has made an affidavit, of which the following is a copy: Sworn at the Mansion-house, before the Lord Mayor "it CHAPMAN, of ilagnigge Wells Brewery, in the parish . of St. Panctas, in the County of Middlesex, Ale, Table Ale, and Table-Beer Brewer, maketh oath, end saint; that his Ale, Table-Ale, and Table-Beer, are brewed: from hops,and malt only, and that he never hasbor ever will permit or suffer say drags or oth er injurio us ingre-: clients to be used in his brewery..
