NAPOLEON B9NAPARTE, The following is an extract of a letter from a tradesman of respectability at St. Helena, em ployed upon the flume! of Bonaparte. It is dated— Nat. Bekaa, May 20, 18t1. • " Yoe will of course have heard of Bonaparte's dissolution, but perhaps • few facts from an eye. witness respecting that important event may slot be deemed tedious. Bonaparte had been sick at inter vals ever since I have been on the island, but never considered dangerously so by the faculty until about two months back, when lie evidently began to decline, and of course every possible attention was paid to him, hut without effect; he died on the 3th instant, Saturday evening, at half-past five o'clock. After his decease he was dressed in full uniform, with cocked hat, boots and spurs, and laid out in state. " The Vanse morning I received orders for the coffins for the illustrious deceased, which were of course execute,' with all possible dispatch. The shell was made of one-inch mahogany, lined with tin and covered with led outside. The tin was af. terwarda covered with white satin; pillow and mat. tress of the same. The outside coffin was made of Spanish mahogany, the top and sides fine colic carts; and I dovetailed it together and polished it with my own hands in the highest possible manner that my poor abilities would allow of. There was no inscription whatever on the coffin. " On Wednesday morning I rode up to Long. wood, and enclosed the body in the coffins, with silver-head screws. Enclosed with him in the coffin were a silver urn coutaining his hear►, and another containing his stomach. and all the coins that were issued during his reign ; together with a knife and fork, a spoon, and one plate, all of silver. I saw his heart before it was soldered up in the urn, which was permitted to me as a great favour. " The pall at the fasters) was of purple velvet, on which was placed the cloak or mantle and sword, which Bonaparte wore at the battle of Wa terloo. and on the head of the coffin a cushion and crucifix. The coffin was placed ots a braise drawn by four of his own carriage horses, and the pro. cession moved towards the place of interment, which was his own choice. - - " Soon after he went to Longwood to reside he complained of the badness of the water, and at that time Madame Bertrand lived at Huit's Gate, about one mile from Longwood, at the top of a very pretty fertile valley, known here by the amine of Scowler Vale. Bonaparte frequently visited Madame Ber trand, cod observed how very superior the water which he drank there was to that which he got at Longwood ; and, on being informed that it was pro. cured from a spring down the Vale, lie expressed • wish to walk and see the well. He weut there with Madame Bertrand. and after examining the water, he noticed a willow tree growing about ten yards from the well. Viewing it in silence fur a few seconds, he said, 'Should 1 die on this Island, 1 would wish to ba buried under that tree; and I will drink no water liut i from this spring.' When he returned lame he furnished one of Ms servants. a Chinese, with two silver bottles, holding about is gallon each, sod sent him immediately to the spring for water—and the same Chinese has had no other employment than fetching water its these bot tles twice a day fur the lest five years. " The land where the corpse of this extrordinary moo is deposited belongs to Mr. Torbet, a very re spectable ►hopkeeper in lames Town. It is now called ► Nepoleon'a Vale,' and is very much fee. quented by the imihabitaut►. The grave was lined with stout., amid covered with a plan, slab of the same matersol." svivavvv D.

Yesterday being they day appointed, after many adjournments, for the final examination or the hank ruptb, when the creditors in general understood that no further disappointment ',mold take place, there was a very full attendance of creditors and their represeutetives, all extremely anxious to hear the statement that they expected would be made. . - -------- The bankrupts, however, deposed, that their accounts were not yet so balanced and adjusted as to exhibit a correct state of their effects and debts to their creditors. Mr. Adams, the accountant to the Commission, having been applied to, stated, that the bankrupts' accounts amounted to 800 in number, and that Mr. Gibbs has balanced upwards of SOO in the manner which he conceives is best calculated to give the creditors a full view of the debts and credits of the estate, and to chew the man ner in which a considerable part of the deficiency has been disposed of. Mr. Adams proceeded to explain the method adopted by Mr.Giblis for this purpose, which was to debit the accounts of all the annuitants to whom the b.inkrupts had paid their annuities, without having received them from the grantors, with the amount of the several semi so paid. This mode of balancing the account., Mr. Adams stated, was quite different from his own view of what was the correct mode of doing it, and would make a great number of persons appear debtors to the estate, who were not so by the books as they stood at the issuing of the commission ; but he added, it could not have the effect of misleading any one, as all the accounts were preserved with all their debts and credits at the time of the bank ruptcy, and Mr. Gibbs was making quite a new statement of all those accounts on which payments had been made by the bankrupts without their having received the money themselves. The Commissioners expressed their satisfaction that all the accounts would be so stated as to en able every one interested to see what would be the effect of every decision that may be come to on those annuitants' accounts, who had received pay ments from the bankrupts, which bad never been mule by the grantors. The Commissioners at the same time intimated, that no alteration had taken place in the opinion they had formerly given, vie. that in all those cases in which the annuitant was informed at the time of receiving the payment, that the bankrupts had not themselves received it from the grantor, they (the arn►uitauts) must be held accountable and debtors to the estate for the pay ments so made; but that in ever• case in which no such intimation had been given, the payment must be considered a boosafide payment to the annui tant, and valid against the bankrupt's estate. Mr. Adams was also interrogated as to the length of time it would take to prepare the accounts in such a manner as would be the most satisfactory to the creditors. In reply to which he stated, that he certainly thought it would take Mr. Gibbs a month at the very least to prepare the accounts for his in. spection, and that it would, after that should be done, take himself •mother month for deciding on their correctness. The Commissiostere, after some consultation, agreed that it would be for the interest of the creditors that the next meeting should be adjourned for two months, which was accordingly done. Several creditors proved debts, but without any thing particular occurring. WONDRRPUL UNDERTAKING. Captsia Henderson started yesterday monies at day. break flea Trifoliate.

The LoaD CHANCELLOR sat in his p►ivate room. THE HON. NEWTON FEI.LOWFS N. THE EARL. OF PORTSMOUTH, JOHN HANSON, ESQ. One of the Trustees of the Portsmouth Estates, and OTHERS. Mr. HART moved on the behalf of the Plaintiff, that it might be referred to the Master to appoint a receiver of the trust estates, with power to cut timber mid dispose of it. It appeared that • bill bad heen filed by the Plaintiff spinet the Defend ant Hinson some time ,rose, as the trustee of the Portsmouth estates, and the Noble Earl, as teihnit for life. By the will of the late Earl of Ports mouth, who died on the 17th of May, 1797. it was provided that the Port.. iiiiii th estates in England and Ireland should he toijoyed by his eldest sou, the present Ertl of Ports ..... uth, during his life, subject to remain aiinuitits legacies, and at hi, death to devolve to his issue ; and in case he should die without issue, that they should revert to Cie second son of the testator, the Plaintiff, and has issue. About the year 1799 the Noble De fendant. the present Earl, ...erred into prop...- sale fur marriage with Grace Norton, the daughter of the late William Lord Granary ; it being deem. ed unsafe by the relations of his intended wife, as well as by his own relations, that lie should be left in the sole management of his estates, he being a person of weak mmd anti irritable temper, and ora dirprwition very liable to be imposed upon, a deed was executed, by which the Earl agreed to give up his estates from the day of the solemnization of his intended marriage to the whole and sole control and management of four trustees, viz. the Hon. Newton Fellowes, Lord Grantley, John Garnet, and John Hanson, who were empowered to take what measures they might suppose to be beneficial to the estates, end also to place annually the sum of 6001. in the British funds until it accumulated to 14,0001. when they were to apply the surplus in liquidation of the pecuniary claims on the estate, or in support of the Earl end his family. It was also covenanted by the deed that the trustees should make up a true account of all the receipts and disbursements respect ing the estateson or before the 25th day of December iii every year. The deed further provided, that in case of the death of any of the trustees the remaining trustees might appoint successors to the trustees so dying. In consequence th ereo f, upon t h e d eat h o f Mr. Garnet, Mr. Justice Best was appointed • trustee in his room. Soon after the executi,in o f the deed, the marriage of the Earl with Miss Norton was solemnised. The Countess died in October, 1813, and iu the month of March following the Earl intermarried with 14 daughter of Mr. Henson, one of the trustees, who had acted as Solicitor both to the present and the late Earl of Portsmouth. The bill charged, that since the marriage of the Earl with Miss Hanson, Mr. Hanson, by the in fluence he had obtained beer the Earl. had con verted his trust in a variety of ways to his own use and advantage, and injured the trusts by Ins unjust and improper conduct, and bad refused to come to a full account of his receipts and disbursements with the other trustees, although frequently requested to do so by the Plaintiff, Amongst other acts of misconduct, it was alleged that the Defendant, Hanson, had possessed I - self of several beneficial leases of the trust estates, which he had assigned over to other persons upon receiving premiums, one of which amounted to the sum of 700/. He (Mr. Hart) believed it was to be urged as au excuse for the Deleticlaut in not giving an account of the money in his hand., that his bill of costs as Solicitor to the Earl was nearly commensurate with the rents which he bad received from the estates. The Court, however, would not allow the Defendant Hanson to settle bit bill of costs in this way. The Learned Counsel then read some extracts from the answer of the De fendant Hanson in which he admitted that he was io possession of Farley Mum, being part of the trust estate', for which he paid no rent, and that he held in his hands rents to the amount of 4,000/.; but he alleged that Mr. Justice Best and Lord Grantley had admitted that it was just and reasonable that he should set off the balance in hi , Pemeseiou against the debt which was due to him by the Noble Earl for costs. He (the Learn ed Counsel) could ooly say, that if Mr. Justice Best had made use of that admission, he had not exer cised the discretion on that ()coition for which he was usually remarkable. The Learned Coult erl then stated that the Plaintiff had filed • supple mentary bill, to which Mr. Sevait. the bailiff in Ireland to the estattm, and Mr. Wm. Young, the receiver is that country, were made parties. It alleged that Mr. Stink fuel received money from time to time for timber cut down ou the estates in Ireland, which he had paid to the Noble Plaintiff, in stead of paying it to the trustees, and that Mr. Young had in his hands, on account of the rents of the estates in Ireland, 3,000 f. which lie refused to account to the trustees for. It was therefore preyed that they might be dismissed from their re. spective situations. He (the Learued Counsel) did not consider it was necessary fur him to take up the further time of the Court, us he was convinced he had stated sufficient to induce his Lordship to ap point a receiver as prayed for. Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. BELL followed on the same side. The Arroomair-GILSERAL, Counsel for the De fendant, the Earl of Portsmouth, resisted the ap plication altogether, es being utiwarrauted. He coutended that the effect of the trust deed expired oii the death of the first Countess of Portsmouth. He maintained that this Noble Defendant was com petent to manage his own affairs surf estates, and that he had received very vexatious conduct from the trustee", particularly from the Minutia; his brother. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" For the purpose of this motion I am bound to take the deed of trust as a Imiauffde instrument, at the saute time I am of opinion, if the deed was necessary, that the Noble Earl ought not to have been allowed to enter into the solemn engagement of marriage. Whether it ought to stand or not ass valid instrument isaumber question, that is not now before me." The Arrotorer-OsmeaoL said, it was the in. tention of his ' • Client to apply to *. Court Noble _ _ _ co the to declare the deed null and void. Mr.. TIM LOllll followed on the um• side. Mr. HIALD s Counsel for the Defendant Hanson, ...,,.., bonletided that all the allegations in the bill were I unfounded, fur his client never refused to give iii llts aceountr, for the best possible reasim, that they I hail never been alkyd for. The chief charge that lie omitted to make out his law bill ; he wound tint coneend but he ought to have dune in, but that was no ground why a receiver should hr ap pointed. He was surprised that the Plaintiff should say that the rents of the estates in lehnid ' were not paid to the English receiver. because he held in Iris hand a document signed its the year 1818 by all the trustee., including the Plaintiff, where the account* were settled up to that year, auil balance remained of only is,. In March, 1821, only six month. before the time the Plaintiff iii his bill alleged th a t the Defendant Hanson receircd all the rents, there was a similar account signed. which bore the signature of the Plaintiff; where there uppesred a balance of ISO!. is. Bd., which Was directed to be cartied to the ensuing i.ccorint. He lied nn hesitation in saying that the hill was nothing more than the production of the crertrie imagination of the gentlemen who prepared the in structions on which the bill was fifinird. whoever they might be. Ile contended tl at no remedy could be obtained by granting the application. Mr. SKIIROW.Coutosel for Mr. Ju.tice Rest sad Lord Greotley, said that be was instructed to cuts sent to any order that his Lordship might plea►e to make. Mr. HART replied. The LORD CH•NCIILLoR observed, that he was bound, for the purposes of this motion, to take the deed as a valid deed. It was impossible that one trustee could act alone, as it was intimated by the deed that all the trustees should act. If it was in tended by the Noble Defendant to try the validity of the deed, he would advise him to take the twee*. miry proceedings as boon as possible, that they might appear ois the records of the Court to elicit that object, and he wished to be hammed on Sa twday whether it was or web not bi, iiitehtimi, fur lie would ou that day give his judgment, Kb he was determined at all eVrilt4 lint to allow the estates to be under the present management. Judgment po•tponed. IN THE M•TTER OF HOWAHD AND GIBBS, GANILRUPTS. Mr. flouts asked permission to mention several petitions in this bankruptcy which called lot im mediate hearing, and which could he may hea rd before his Lordship.

It war referred to she Commissioners to in quire into it, and they had reported in humor of the petitioning creditor'. debt. since which an appeal hod been entered ageism that report. There WWI another petition pending fora longtime. the 'im port of which was to cut down the whole of the assignee's debt.

The LORI, CUANCELLOII" Let them ba all put down at the head of my Bankrupt Petition COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, LO/DON, JULY 31. Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE mad II Common Jury. PHIPPET V. HEARNE. • This was 1111 action for assault and false impri so ))))) rut. The Defendant had pleaded the general issue, Apr Gei/ty. and also • special plea, that the Plaintiff had in his presence stoleu a box of lace, for which the Defendant had him taken into the ' custody of a peace officer. This the Plaintiff de bird, on which issue was joined. Mr. Scanitere stated the case fur the Plaintiff. whom he described as • respectable young wan who followed the business of a factor or COMIIIISI•1011 agent. He had heard that the Defendant, who is an ion-keeper, keeping the King's Arms, Sitowhill, li.d a box of lace to dispose of, on which he had a lien of 40/. The Plaintiff mentioned she lace to a friend of his, named Brydges, a lacemaii,who agreed to look at the lace, and if he approved of it, to advance the 401. required. The Planitiff accord ingly went to the Defendant's with his frieud Brydges, who, approving the lace, produced the 40/. and gave it 19 the Defendant, who demanded 7s. more, which being paid by the Pl a i n t i ff, h e was about to take the ho; of lace away, but the De fendant then threw down • seal, d paper, which he siail•Sres all they should have for their money. Budges said he would have his money Lack again, and laid hold of the Defendant's hand and wrested the notes sway from him, but fearing that he should not be able to retain them, as the Defendant called his servauts, he dashed his hand through the window awl gave them to his porter, who was waiting outside to carry the lace away. The De. reorient then sent fora constable, and charged then. both with robbery, and tiny were in consequence taken to the (311 wpm-street Conipter, and detained for two hours, and afterwards taken before the sit ting Magistrate at Guildhall, who immediately dis missed the charge. Brydges had brought Iris ac tion and the damages had beep settled by the She riff. Mr. Phippet now brought his action, and the Derandinit had the audacity to put on the record as a justification that the Plaiutiff had committed a felony, which was such au aggravation of the origi. nal injury, that he was sure the Jury would mark their *ease of its the damages which they would award to his client, winless the charge of rehaby was mast satisfactorily made out.
