Loadon Adjonrued Sittioirs after Michaelmas Terra, before Mr. JUSTICE BAYLIS` m l 6►►ci Jumits. CRAMP r. GaraNwoon.—This was au action upon a contract for the sale of 40 cwt. of first sort Peters burgh bristles, sound and merchantable, which the defendant had purchased of the plaintiff, belt 20 curt. of which he had refused to take. The sum now sought to he recovered was 46.1 1 . being the difference in the market price of the article, upon the re-sale which the plaintiff effected, in consequence of the de fendant's refusal to take to that part of the contract. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. Matt !VW!, Mr. Overeat', and Mr. BoLLAND; and the de- fondant's by Mr. SCARLET' r and Mr. Ja RCM% The single question in the cause was, whether the bristles in qnestion answered the description of " first sort Petersburgh bristles, sound and merchantable ?" as warranted by the contract. A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides, who differed in their judgment as to the quality of the article. The case went to the Jun•, under the Learned Judge's directions, awl they found a verdict for the plaintiff Damages 4i 1/. 3s. DAVIF. C. MITVORD, STOREY, AND GLYNN. EAQD11..... "I his was an action of assault and false imptison went, by an alleged bankrupt against Commissioners. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. Anon. ears and Mr. F. Pot.t.m.K the defence by M. SUAIt- LK IT, Mr. MARRT.sr, and Mr. “ASEI.EIt. The case opened was in snhatan:•e this :—The plain tiff had been in partne-:hip in v bra:t.•l:ea of trade with another peraon, named Snowden, at Ply mouth Dock. In 11419 the firm hail a commission of bankrupt issued &gains! tlimn, haying property to the amount of .E 311,11110, ;wising thron. : le their hands. Upon their examination before the Comii..wtioners, the bankrupts were called upon to produer a balance sheet of their accounts. '1 hey complained that from Clines., the voluminous intriracy of their affairs, and canes, they were unprepared, and begged (ne ther time for that purpose. Indulgetece from time to time was accordingly granted. by adjourning the ex- 1 autination. On the I tlth of August, I:+19, being the last meeting, the plaintiff waa again called upon to produce his balance sheet, hot he did not, repeating his former ex.•uses for non-compliance, and praying further time. This the defendants refusrd, and immediately com mitted him to Newsrate. where lie was confined for six weeks, and ultimately discharged by Habeas Cuero*, by Mr. Justice Bayley. It was alleged that the de fendants had come prepared with the warrant of com mitment at the last examination, and had conducted themselves with intemperance on the occasion, thereby %hewing, as was contended, that they were influeneed by motives of malice. It was urged as a clear p-:iposi:ion of law, that Commissioners could not cmeensit a bankrupt for not producing a balance sheet • of his accounts. n defence, the suggestion that the defendants were in:luenced by malicious motives was treated as a pre posterous and incredible proposition, inasmuch as it was utterly impossible that they could have any feel ing of that kind towards the plaintiff. of whom they mew nothing hnt what appeared in his conduct when ender examination before them. Upon the merits of t*:-.! law in committing the pl tintiff, in consequence of le!ected delay in disclosing his affairs, prevarication in pxamination, and other unsatisfactory and improper c Induct concerning his bankruptcy. Several wit t...re examined in their defence, to prove the demerits of :lie plaintiff's case. Mr. Justice 13 svtar having summed up the ca-e fqr the Jury. they found a verdict for the plaintiff.- 14atnages 4001. '1 he Court eat till eight o'clock in the evening. Many of the witnesses for her Majesty are lodged ir. a house at Hammersmith, a few doors before the toad terns down to Brandenburgh House, and they appear to dew the different processions to her Majesty with the *lost lively interest, by waving their hand iterchiefs front the windows, and continually saluting with the hand every carriage as it passes.

After several spirited and appropriate speeches by Mr. lialliday, Mr. Harmer. Mr. Pratt, Mr. Hammond, and other Gentlemen, a long string of Resolutions, were passed, strongly deprecating the present proceedings against her Majesty. An address to her 31ajesty was also carried by acclamation. The thanks of the Meet srg were voted to Mr. Hammond, for the ability which he had displayed in , preparing the Resolutions and Ad dress: and Resolutions were passed, by which the inha bitants of the remainder of the parish are invited to con cur in and sign the Address. Several snips were sub scribed for defraying the incidental expellees of the proceeedings.

We last week gave in substance the information communicated to us, as brought by Captain Johnson,' !'.f the Cumbrian, of Hull, flout Lancaster Sound, in I Davis's Straits. At that time we had not been able to , see Capt. J. but sinee obtained the following particu lars :—I ri proceeding up Lancaster Sound, about 45 or 51 miles from the entrance, Capt. J. observed on the south side a large piece of fresh water running nearly parallel to the direction of the Sound, divided from it by a ridge apparently about thirty yards (.road, and supposed by Captain J. to be supplied by water from the hills. He sent the second mate and a boat's crew towards the shore, in order to ascertain the appearance of the country, and whether there were any plants, &c.; but the weather coming on thick, he called them back. Soon- ice bergs were found ground. ed in the sound, and a good deal of floating ire when Captain J. first entered it, but ms he advanced upwards, the quantity of ice became much less. There was a strong swell from the N. W. and the current ran don n the SOllllll at the rate of about four knots and upwards per hoer, although Sir John Russ found " no aprear- Knee of a current," and " no swell from the N. W." The Cumbrian proceeded, as nearly as Capt. J. Cdn ascertain, about 80 miler np the Sound, at Which place the width might he (ram 40 to 50 milt's. 'I hr land appeared to rise in a g..44i1e slope from the water's edge for *ono. &stance, then swelled into Lills of con siderable height, maul of them with c.a. gy peals. From the mast-head Capt. J. saw the 5....4,41 extend apparently abut 20 miles in the direction, by row pass, of N. E. by N. The farthest heal land ue the southern side appeared to tre.44.1 to tile soirli, and the water to open in that diiect!on. The breadth there, Capt. J. thought, might be abut 20 m ite, It may he useful to ittf.riii our rea.iers that Sir J. Ross states, that hr sailed about /40 miles tip Lancaster Sound (or shoot as far as Captain . 1 . eel elates the Cumbrian proceeded ;) but the chart given in the +O ficial ace.nott of the voyage, makes it only half that distanee. and Lieutenant Parry, in the Alexander. and Captain Sabine both fix it. a' 31 mile.; at :hi, extreme point of Sir .1. Ross's progress, he states thet he saw tlu• land round the hotteni 4.f the Has at eight leagues distance. The t utilhriae, we hare Isefory said, proceeded ahont MO miles, and the Sound wa s there perceived 'spelt about 20 miles further. ll'e are' aware of the vague nature I.f tin se computations ; hut, as Capt. J. is all intelligent and respectable man, it dors appear Leyond a doubt that Sir .1. 110. s was most unfortunate in putting hack at the moment be dill, without any sufficient reason, whose a little longer I perseverance might 14.1%e been attended with fortunate . results. No trace of the expeditition seat oat under' ' Captain Perry could be found, although Captain J. anxiously examined the whole snrrouuding country' with his glass, and liel4s no doubt they haul pene trated through the Sound into same open sea. Indeed, if they had either happened with any accident in the Sound, or been prevented from getting through it, there can be little doubt some traces of them would have been found near itr entrance, as they would tin doubtedly have endeavoured to reach that point. as the one where, under such circumstances, they might expect to communicate moat readily with their mutt trymen. We confidently expect that the first news we shall now receive of them will be front the overland expedition, probably about the mouth of the toper- , mine River of Hearne. 1 It was stated last week. that the Friendship and Truelove had been as high as lat. 89. 40. in Ita Ray. This is erroneous. The highest latitude we have heard of any vessel reaching is 78. 20. or 40.

A fine Lighthouse has been built on the end of the Pier at Ifolyitead, and lighted by gas, which is likely to be of essential service on that noted headland ; a range of lamps, lighted also by goo, reaches from the Lighthouse along the Pier to the town. Letters from Malta state, the British merchants in Sicily e.mtinue to be greatly apprehensive for the safety of their persons and property, and had applied to the tiovernment at Kilt* for British ships to pro ter' them. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, datld• Sep tember 7 :—" The present is to guard you against the serious reports that you may hear, concerning the fever which has taken place in this city. I can assure you, that dreadful malady does not exist to the de-1 tree stated in the American Papers, as it is only con fined to one small part of our city, occupied by the lower class of the citizens. It originated in the land ing of some potatoes, and other articles reported to, have conic from the llavannah. Another month over our heads, the cold weather will free us entirely from this awful disease." The States of liermany have suppressed Freemasons' Lodges, and ether secret associations. The intredne tion of politics into their proceedings, and the example of the Carbonari, are undoubtedly the causes of the suppression.

A number of persons having emigrated from dif , (ergot parts of this county to the Cape, and various costradietory statements, souse favourable, and others unfavourable, having recently appeared in several 'Journals of the day respecting the settlement near Alyea Bay, we have been favoured by a respected cots ' respondent at Burslem with copies of two letters from a person who was sent out by that parish, with his fa mily, the beginning of the present year, from which we give an extract, and doubt not but it will be ac ceptable to a great portion of our readers. The let ters are addressed to the father-in-law of the writer, and, though in a simple style, they speak the lan , . gasp of sincerity. The family sailed in the ship John, of Liverpool, the 2d of January. The wri:er, after having given an account in his first letter, dated jth February, of a prosperous voyage as far as Ma deira, in his second, of June 13, continues the narra tive until the ship mires safe in Algoa Bay, on the .341 of May, whets he observes— We landed on the sth, and went to camp on the 10th, when there came waggons belonging to the Dutch farmers to convey us on our journey up the I country to the land appointed for us, which took seven days.

BRIMITON, OCT. 2.—Tbe King left this place to day for his Cottage at Windsor. his Majesty had not quitted the Pavilion since his arrival from Portsmouth; but this day, on coming out in his way to town. he reviewed the !s.ith regiment of foot. Before quitting the yacht a certificate was given to Sir Edmund Nagle, for the sake of his wiper with Lord Yarmouth, that the King had sailed 94 leapnes. On Saturday the Duke aid Duchess de Cases had a view of the Pavi ; lion, an exception having been made from the esta blished rule of not *hewing it while his Majesty is Ihere, in favour of his Excellency. After their visit , they returned to Worthing. bumf:rte.—During her Majesty's aquatic excur sion to IWoolnich, on the ;tit ult. she was saluted by all the vessels in the river; but, by none, we may venture to say, in so uncommon a manner as the lit id port packet, Spink, belonging to this port, then on her voyage to Dundee. On her Majesty passing the smack, about four o'clock, near Oreenwich, all on board were astonished to hear loud h front the mast-held, and more so when, on looking up, they perceived a jack-tar (a native of this town and one of the passengers) seated on the very truck, grasping the vane in one hand for support, and with the other loudly cheering her Majesty as she sailed along. The Queen was graciously pleased to notice Jack's in trepid conduct, by repeatedly waving her hand to his stentorian salutes ; which were rendered not the lose musical by a few cups of kindness he had bad a short time before, on parting with an old shipmate he had not seen for many years. A lady of the - age of 66 years appeared before a Magistrate in the comity of Carmachen last week, and swore a child to a neighbour of hers, in the parish of Llanddarog, aged seventy-two years.—.

The Bridge across the Menai is in a progressive state of forwardness ; the abutnieuts on the Anglesea side are upwards of 60 feet high, whilst those on the ' Carnarvonshire shore arc also in a fair way. The Bridge, when completed, will be one of the wonders of Europe. In conseqnence of the heavy tonnage duty Imposed on American vessels, on entering the ports of France, application has bred made to Bovernment, to allow the laver*** of American vessels to be warehoused is this gesetry, and re-shipped, frost of duty, in Preach or British bottoms. The application has been acceded I to, and Falmouth and Cowes have been named as the ports where such cargoes way be landed and re-ship ped. Several American vessels are now out their pas sage to this country with cargoes intended to be re shipped for the French markets.

MoweatXl., Aco. 14.—The steam-boat, Lady-Slier broke, brought up last Thursday, between 300 and 400 emigrants: they come from the western part .of Scotland, consist principally of artisans, and are the first division of a body of 13110, who, after a Test's so licitation, have obtained from Government assistance in their emigration. The expense to this country they have defrayed themselves but Government pro. vided transports from Quebec to Perth, the place e f settlement. On their arri• .1 there each family is to be furnished with one thousand feet of boards and other materials for the construction of a house, together with agricultural implements, see i corn next spring, and rations for a certlin per. 4 l with their location ticket for 100 acres of land. 1 1 .1 . • are to receive 31. ; 51. more at the expiration of months, and 21. at that of six : in all, 101. together with 21. (the estimated expense of tit..t transport to the settlement) is to be refunded, without interest, at the end of ten years. The conditions of the grant of land are, that in three years five acres shall have been cleared, and a suit ible dwelling-hou.. ! erected. On the fulfilment of these, there will he dr . :- vered to them a title deed, the expense of which (I js I they will be required to pay.
