0 rt l ; yet he was new made the defendant ; and Ate acting ill the legitimate line of his pretension, has been almost ruined ; whilst Sir Home Popham has grown rich by a direct violation of the law. (Hear! Hsu,. It ceased to bee question of a particular nature. The general evil of it was this, that whilst petty offences to the revenue laws acre punished to the extreme of rigour, nay of it native, other men, who happened to be protected by great party con nexions, not alone violated the laws with intiounity, but were actually remunerated out of the funds of the country f r or the violation. (Hear! Hear!) With respect to the general merits of the Him. Captain, those upon which the Learned Advocate commented were subsequent to this grant, and, therefore, could not be comprehended within the siew of its propriety or impropriety. At all events, were the merits of a deserviug Officer, such as Ad miral Robinson, to be totally overlooked ? or ra ther, were the antecedent services of that gentle man to be entirely removed out of view, whilst the subsequent conduct of Sir Home Popham was to be pleaded as a set off to his violatiou of the law ? What was the fact? It was this, that the guilty person received '28,0001. at the same time that the correct otficer t w ho had properly performed his duty, scarcely received sufficient to defray the ex reuses of the long and protracted litigation in the Prize Courts. There was some object in the uppeul made, with respect to the allowance which ought to be made to a person to situated as the Honourable Captain was when this smuggling tniesaction originally took place. The Learned Advocate was rather guilty of an anachronism in his descriptiou, inacimucli as he believed the Hon. Captain had no children at that period. The Right Hon. Gentleman denied that the claims of Sir Home Popham were of a nature to compensate for such an offence. With respect to naval services, he had never performed any. In Holland, he was, perhaps, useful in a variety of ways, naval, military, and commercial, particularly from his contiguity to Oiteittl. (A iatigA .') He contended, that in the legitimate meaning of the English lan guage, this grata 'Gas a misapplication of the fund, be it in the Crown or not ; and if there was an ex ample wanting to prove the impropriety of vesting such a fund as the Druits of the Admiralty ii) the bawls of the Executive, it wus the shameful misap- aus !au the nu• L as not Pe 2 t lick• wis r the that e" wrl iv of t sat And I tilt u;:al j t(t.

The defence set up by Mr. GARROW, for the Defendant, was, that the nhole of the Christmas boxes belonged to the foreman ; but he was unable to establish any such exclusive r?ght, and there fore the Jury, without any hesitation, found a ver dict for the Plaintiff, damages 51. tie. being his proportion of the sum received. 1 here were ninny other actions depending on the result of this, which are, of course, decided.

MONTHLY 4ORICULTURAL REPORT. The sowing of all sorb of Spring or Leal corn amps, ma them of the late barley kinds, in must of the northern dia. tric, has been some time finished; and, from the complete rummer in which they bare been put into the ground, and the warm showery weather which has since succeeded, they cannot but have come forward is a rapid and vigorous man ner ; while all those crops, of both the grain and poise kinds, which were put int* the son at a mere early period, 1t,.. an unuseally healthy and promising sppearanee. The m fluence of the uncommonly tine growing weather, darns; the whine of the month, has even been considerable on the sown wheat crops, so as to have rend , red the aspect of than which had been greatly injured by the alternations trust and thaw, in the preceding months, in sums eases highly favourable ; consequently less mischief than was at fret ap prehended will probably be at...nailed iti such crops.
