It is not generally known that Steasrias I, the French Minister to the Ottoman Porte, is a cousin of Bow AAAAAA and therefore it is somewhat ex traordinary, that, being nearly related to the Im perial Family in France, he should be suffered to remain in a state of diplomatic degradation, when he may rather be expeeied to take his rank among the new race of Revolutionary Monarchs. Yesterday, as Major-General CRAVVIR u was re turning from the QuLttes Palace, one of his horses took fright. and ran away furiously with the catti est ; the General jumped out of the carriage, when it was about halt way between Constnution.hill and the iron gate, the entrance to the Green Park, and escaped unhurt.

Among the.e is the loss of the Princes, .f Walls packer, bound for Liverpool. She attempted to proceed on I I the 19th; but, ending it impossible to prosecute her voyage, attempted to put back on the 20th, when she struck upon the South Bull, and sunk.— The Captain, crew, and two ladies, were saved; but 150 soldiers, who were in the steerage, were unfortunately drowned. The brig Rochdale Hooosen, with upwards of one hundred soldiers on board, went on shore under Sca Point, near BlAck-rock, about four miles from Dublin, and it is supposed that all on board perished. In the streets of Dublin, the darkness was se great, several carriages were upset, the drivers being unable to see their way, and several serious accidents were the consequence. In the number was the Loan Cnaw. cct.Loa's coach, on its return froth the Viceregal Lodge, in the Phoenix-park. Fortunately, however, Lady MANUS'S, who wu in the carriage, escaped with only a slight contusion. Owing to the dark ness. and the extreme severity of the weather, only one of the Mails, the Beh est, had arrived At Dublin, at three o'clock, on t7e 20th ; and the Mirth Mail going out, could not proceed farther than &may, about four miles from that cry. sty etew„ ■OT. *O.

F' • i v irnattairegi • COURT OF CH teickta, N0v.29. SHOCKLIE ESTATE. anoakws mod OTHERS e. MOUSIt•T end casTLass Mr. Ricir•aos stated, that Rob, rt Andrews, at his decease, was seized in fee of an estate in Northumberland. called Shocklie, which he be queathed by will to his five daughters, share and share alike. Before and after his death, Mr. Castles, the Solicitor. was his agent, and the re ceiver of the rents. There was also a Mr. Flopper, who aced as land-agent or steward. In the year 1795, Catles dismissed hopper, and employed Moubray in big place. The family bad the greatest confidence in both of the Defendants. The children being of age in 1800, one of them married the Rev. Mr. Nesfield, a Clergyman, who was not much conversant in worldly affairs. The Defend ants had the entire management. After some time it was thought proper to sell the estate, and the Defendants advertised it to be sold by auaion. once, in a York Paper, bat never in a Londun Pr per ; and on the day appointed for the sale, abere was no bidder. Some gentlemen attended tot purpose ; but got such an unsaiisfattury account, they decined. Defendant, Moubray, decllred to Plaintrifs, that it was let at its full value at 3911. a year ; and shortly after its being reposed fns site. Moubray became the purchaser, tor a of 11,1501. and got possession. In the year ensuing. he let the estate for 6201. a year. There was a wood and wood land, which Meutstay had had privately valued, but never let the Plaint , ffs knew the result. The wood was valued at near 10061. and the wo )d-lansl to 4tl a year. Mr. Richards thee said, tl.ere was only aim question to determine by the Court, which was. whether Mr. Muutnay was an Agent or Land Steward 1 Fur if he was, the dottrine of that Court would declare the sale to be null and void, as no Agent has a rig ht to purchase nailer such circum stances. Ile by their answers denied that Monbray was au Agent, and contended that he was only the friend of Caries, and as such latest for him. Mr. Rrcbards added, that he was sorry, but was obliged to say, that when his Lord ship should have heard the mass of evidence in ibis cause, he would declare Defendants ..uglit nett Ile be believed on their oath. The remainder of the day was occupied in reading the interroptvries and answers in this cause. . 1, , ~ I I. eouar OF KING'S lIENCH, Not. 21. Lord ELL [NIOIIOIIOII read the judgments of the Court upon ♦arious cases which had barn argued before them during last term. In the case Doe oil Demise v. Mannings and Others, the judgmen• was in favour of the Plaintiff.— ln that of Ham. o. James, the judgment was in favour of the De fendant —ln the case of Roberts v. Carribide being an aaion for words spoken, the Rule Niel for arresting the judgment was discharo.i and in the case of Gudding and Others e. Eoldero and Co. a verdia was entered for the Defendant. It will be recolleeted, thitt this last WAS an anion upon a policy of insurance upon the life of the late Right Honourable William Pitt, entered into between the Plaintiff and Defendant, upon the k9th of Nov. 1801, when Mr., Pitt's so did not exceed 45 years. Upon the payment of 15 guineas per ann. by the Plaintiff to the Defendants, the: stock and funds of the Company were to make good to Mr. Philip Godson, on the demise of M,. Pitt, the sum of 5001. which was the amount of a debt due by Mr. Pitt to the Plaintiffs. This debt, however, was afterwards duly paid to the Plaintiffs, by the Earl of Chatham, and the Bishop of Lin colts. Executors of Mr. Pitt's will. The question reserved for the opinion of the Court was, whether the Plaintiffs were entitled, under such circum stances, to recover and their judgment proceeded upon the footing, that the Plaintiffs had no ground of edits's, as the debt had been paid by the public as soon as Parliament had authorised it. by granting a large sum for that purpose. Tat LINO V. COL/LIVIY. This was an issue in a eV warrant., calling upon Mr. Courtney, the Defendant, to show cause by what authority he claimed to be a free Burgess of Saltash, so as to be entitled to vote for a Mcmbas of Parliament. On this a special verdia bad been found. Mr. ADAM, for the Plaintiffs, argued, that the Defendant was not duly elceled a Burgess, upon three grounds, viz. Ist, The Eleflion and swearing in ought to have taken place at one and the same time;—ad. The swearing did not take place ip pre sence of the Mayor and a majority of the Justices of the Peace and Aldermen ;—UJ, The Defendant was sworn at a meeting of Aldermen called for a different purpose ; all which circumstances were inconsistent with the charter by which such Elea:lions Are authorised. that the Mr. Dame isa. on the ether side, argued, . Defendant's Eledion was perfedly consistent with the charter, and cited various cases to shew that in them the Elation and swearing-in had taken place atter a considerable interval. The Defendant had been previously defied by a majority of the Alder men ; and. therefore, any meeting might complete that Election. although they had been called toge ther for a different purpose. The case. alter being fully argued, was ordered to stand over. in order that the Court might look ism authorities, and more particularly into the Aa of Parliament. If they should deem any further argument neceuaty, they would intimate it. CRIAIISAL INFORMATIONS. The ATTOIPET•GISIBRAL moved tot a Rule to,. shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. Richard Frederick Thompson, the person on whose behalf he had, yesterday. moved for a writ of Cardietari.to remove certain pro ceedings which had beets instituted against him int-, this Court. He made this present motion upon tae jean affidavits of Sir James Cockburn, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Robert Bland, DiredLors of the Philanthropic Society. for which Mr. Thornpeon had stied as Secretary. They being dissatisfied with his conduct was the case of his discharge ; but notwithstanding his being so discharged, he had undertaken afterwards to call a meeting of the sub scr:b rs, by a circular letter, in which be accused and libelled these Diredors. for kcepi tg certain sums of money, suneanting in all to IUO4- under
