His Lordship addressed the Court epos its opening, mist ing he had called them together thou early, for the par. pose of the dispatch of the business that wes before them, and that he Mould be et all times ready to convene its mertinge, whenever requisite or desired; that he should in. deavonr to the inmost, to discharge his public duty, as well in stippoitiog the dignity of the office, as in presiding with the strictest impartiality over the debates in the Court; and if, in the brat of debate, any thing should occur not strictly applicable, he should as delicately as possible remind the is. dnuhtal of it, and so as not to give offence to any. He would, at the Mine time, beg to remind the Court, that it would best consult its owe dignity, in passing such orders sad resolutions as they could duly enforce; bet by no moms wished to restrain the Members in bringing forward muds propositions as they !sight think proper.

Mr. Dams rose so move an Aden's, of Coictoleen to the Prince Regent upon her Majesty's death. It became that Court, he said, which bad been always distiagnished fur loyalty, to raping' at this period the arose it entertained of the loss with which the nation had been @Mined by sloe death of the Queen. From a City ancient and loyal like the City of London, the Royal Family had claims to special attentioe. All ranks joined in this sentiment, which had lets so frequently exhibited in our sympathies at times of triumph and exultation, and which could not slumber upon occasions of mourning and regret. All political questions which might arise under other circumstances were wholly Merged in the powerful claim to esteem which our late (Wes had supported fur so many years. Considered in all respects, she was calculated to make a deep impression open the hearts of a loyal and affectionate people. As a wife led mother her character was equally priseworthy. The tender solicitude wide which she had watched over the illness of his Majesty, and the scrupulous example she ex hibited to her children, is she whole course of her life, were parts of a character which for purity and duty was the ad miration of all descriptions of persons. The dignity, too, with which she had filled ben high station was no less re. inarkable, her Court beiag a piece from which all were ex cluded whose conduct was deserving of reproach. Mr. Davies concluded a speech, which he delivered in a very low tone, by moving an Address to the Prince Regent and the vest of the Royal Family, upon the subject of the death of her Majesty, who had been for so rosy years an example to the ration. Mr, Jitcas seconded the motion. He agreed in all that had heel said, bet was particularly struck with that part which described her Majesty as an example to the nation. The Qaeeo was, he said, an example not only to the British nation, bit to all the nations on the Continent. He had, is differeut countries, heard declarations, both public and pri vate, that the Queen of England was one of the purest cha racters, and that under such an authority It could sot but be expected that her Court should participate in that re. Intrliable diatioction. The reign of George the Second, *hick had been advancing in morals with respect to the 'Court, bore no comparison to the purity of the highest ranks of doh day Her example wile to be (*soldered as the canoe. The motion was carried unanimously, aid ordered to be savertised—(Fbr trAfeA *lmpost eats Paper.)

Yesterday • numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the inhabitants of Chelsea avid its vicinity took !dace at the Flask Tavern. Chelsea, to take into consideration the enormous increase of rates of the above named Company, and the best means of obtaining redress for the present griev ante. and security against future oppressien. At half-past one o'clock Sir Hamm Wit.toe, Bart. was called to the Chair. He r egre tt e d th a t some person of greater importance in the landed interest had not been called to fill that situation. He regretted much that Lord Grosvenor or Mr. Same had not attended, on an occasion which, in hie opinion, so nearly concerned them ; but as most of the Gentlemen present were his neighbours and friends, it was proper that wh e re o pp ress i on was he should attend them.-- (.4ppluse4.-- It appeared to hiM that an unprecedented demand had been made on the inhabitants of Chelsea for water—an article the gift of Heav en , and the most essential to the poor newly of all others. ft was an article subject to no loss—to no manufacture—and in fort could prove in no way detrimental to the proprietors, whose only trouble would be to supply It to the public.—/Hear./—For himself, he stood there independent of any Water Company. for he never had any from them, nor did he want any; but it was on the poor classes of society that the demand was likely to operate most seriously ; on persons who, by the assistance of that water, supported .their families in decency. On entering into this subject, it was proper the Meeting should know what line of conduct they ought to pursue, for those persons they had to oppose had grown rich with their money, and could afford to oppose them with some of it.—(Appieue.)-.-He apprehended that the Water Company rested their defence principally on the expense they were put to in laying down iron pipes, tint he would say, that such an excuse could not ivied, them much, as it was a notorious fact, that wooden pipes were much more expensive than cast iron ones.—/Hear./—Bat supposing the iron cost three tunes as much as the wood, did not the Water Company save labour and materials in re pairing pipes, and would they not in seven years be considerable gainers He was an old Magistrate, and his maxim *silo s condemn no one unheard. but still lie was of opinion, that . good guild wood wu much dearer than cast iron, although the letter was by far more durable. He would be. glad to hear the opinions of some other Gentlemen on the subject, but he trusted no political or other extra neous matter would be introduced, but that each person would confine himself to the immediate object of the Meeting. J. Bunn, Esq. Secretary, then read the )De ports of former Meetings on the same subject, held at the Gloucester Coffee-house, Gun Tavern, Ike. with the Resolutions agreed on at those places. J. E. CLaitia, Esq. got up to address the Meeting, and to propose some Resolutions, but was interrupted by The CHAIIIIIAI, who observed. that till the moment he heard them read by the Secretary, be was ignorant of the proceedings of sly former Meetings • he was much astouished . that. o n th e first bl ush of the thing, the Water Company did ,not make some overtures to conspromis• the matter, end put ; :dowu that natural spirit of indignities' which every man feels when he is oppressed. . . Mr. Eowe•oe, • resilient of Chelan, begged to say, that, at a meeting of the Committee, a letter was sent to the Directors of the Chelsea Water Works, begging them to lower their rates; and their answer was, that they would cut the pipes off from every house which, after seven days notice, refused to pay the rate. He (Mr. E.) would not have submitted to this, was it not in consideration of his tenants, who were poor people and must hare water. The CNAIRItAIIie That it not the consideration of the Meeting ; you heed not tell your private rea sons for submitting to a gross imposition." Mr. EDWARDS, in continuation, stated that two years ago, when the Junction Company came into Chelsea, in opposition to the present Company, circulars were then sent round begging the inhabi tants not to encourage the Junction, and the rater were lowered. Shortly after a combination (he could call it no ether name) took place between the two Companies; some concentration of interests took place, and the Junction left the neighbour hood, after which the Chelsea Company levied what rates they pleased. Mr. WtiLsox, of Sloane..street, next addressed the Meeting. He said it was notorious that the Chelsea Company had acted from bad motives, for he recollected two years ago, when the Junction Company opposed them, that they took 130 per cent. off, and if they could afford to serve the neighbourhood so cheap two years ago, it was sin gular their rates should be so exorbitant now. He refused to pay the rate, and had a pomp erected— a course which he would advise other persons to adopt. Mr. Lucks said, that he was one of those raised at the rate of 84 per cent. He refused at first to pay it; but the Company sent him two men, one carrying a receipt, and the other a pick-axe. They said, •' Pay us the money, or we'll cut off your pipe."—( Linighfer.)—He refused to pay it, and the man with the pick-axe cut the pipe off. He (Mr. Jaicks) thought the best plan would be to ertabli►h a new Water Company, but it would re quire the interference of the great capitalists of the place.—(Cries of " A phut to that Feet is made oat.")—Mr. J. said he was glad to hear it; it would prove very beneficial. Mr. CHauptow complained of being double rated, and of having the water turned from hia premises on his refusal to pay it. CHARLES Psalm, Esq: in an eloquent speech, expressed his readiness to support the establishment of a New Water Company, and submitted a Re. solution to that effect, which was unanimously carried. A Committee was then appointed for General Purposes, and J. BURN and C. Aims, Esq.. were appointed St eretaries. A person named Sizvi informed the Meeting that he first paid Q. and had been lately rated 41. 140. Thrisks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting dispersed. LAW IIORLLICIINCIt. IRCVCIIANCELLORI COURT, Wnvonnst, THCRIIDAV, Nointarit 26. • . reterPs D. mime. Mr. Hest.° stated this was a bill filed to enforce the specific perfortnauce of a.contract. It apprio ed that the• Defendant had employed a person of the name of Addis, to purchase t I ttttt se in Berke ley-square, which was 14 , ireeted to 1w onld by auc tion by the will of the late, L ily M iry Fittersltl. Addis accordingly purchased, and the Dekiirlaiit refused to complete it, on. the ground that the sr ticks of sale were altered from the time lie empow ered Addis to purchase, and the time the rale ac tually took ;place. The addition to the articles of sale was, .4 That the purchaser should not object to the title, because a deed which was executed iii the year 1758 was missing." The Defendant, how ever, did not demur to the purchivie mode by his agent for three years after the wile had taken place. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—" I think that cannot be an objection to his being obliged to perform the contract, for if a man submits to the act of his agent for three years, it is to be supposed that he approves of it." . • Mr. HEALD , in continuation, said, That the next objection of the Defendant was, that the testa trix tad not the power to devise the property, although she might ha've given it by deed of gift. He would like to hear what his Learned Friends bad to say on that point, before he should snake any observation on it. The Defendant had made another objection, that on comparing the abstract of the title with the deeds, a deed executed in 1777 could not be produced. This objection, however, was futile, .as the testatrix had, by a deed of 170, revoked all former deeds made by her. Under those considerations he had no doubt but his Honour would grant the prayer of the bill. Mr. SUDDEN followed on the same side. Mr. BELL, Conasel for the Defendant, Mid, Ain the testatrix, Lady Mary Fittgerald, had been much loved and respected by a part of the Royal Family, irho had made her considerable valuable presents on her marriage, which being personal, site had a tight to dispose of as she thought proper, which she might have done by deed of gift. He therefore contended that the production of the deed of 1777 was *necessary, as it might contain something which would invalidate the Plaintiff's title, as she had the power of disposing of the mansion in question by deed of gilt, as she pur chased it with the presents made her by the Royal Family. He therefore trusted his Honour would dismiss the bill. Mr. DOWDESWELL followed. Mr. HIALD replied, The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed. that he was of opinion that Lady Mary Fitzgerald had the power in her lifetiMe of revoking any deed she might have previously made; and she had exercised that right in the year 1786, which made all her previous . deeda null and void ; therefore it was not necessary that the deed of 1777 should be pro duced. He was of opinion, that the Defendant was bound to the specific performance of his con tract, sod so he decreed. The remainder of the day was occupied in hear ing short causes, of no interest except to the parties concerned. COURT OF BINGE BENCH, WepivinTelti Tmintuum, NOresiek !6.

The ArCoRNEY-GENERAL said, he had no mo tion to make—but that hr attended, in consequence of a motion made by his Learned Friend, Mr. Hol land, fur a writ of Habeas Corpus, to bring up the body of • person named Drake, who had been cum. milted to gaol ou a charge of murder. Mr. Bottaab stated that the Defendant *as in attendance. Mr. Drake was then brought into Court, in the custody of the gaoler of Maidstone Gaol. The writ of Habeas Corpus, and the return to it, were immediately read. Next were exhibited tne affidavits on which Mr. Drake stood committed for murder. Patrick Smith, Terence Kinahan, John Fagan, ?Wind: Murphy, Michael Wood, Peter Allen, Jolts Ryan, hennas Kelly, Williams Lowe, John Minivan, fricholas Savage, John Doyle, Thomas Kenna, and Corne lia: Crawiley, convicts on board the hulks at Wool. wich, stated, in their affidavits, that in March. 1817, they sailed in the Chapman, a convict ship, from Cork, for New South Wales. of which vessel Richard Drake was Captain, Alexander Dewar (who has already been admitted to bail), Doctor, Milbank, first mate, and -- Baxter, third mate, and keeper of the convicts, of whom there were 200 on board. The crew consisted of 45 sailors, and there was a detachment of 4o soldiers, belonging to the 41ith regiment, commanded by Lieut. Bunton. Until they arrived at St. Jug°, the convicts were treated well. On the 17th of April they were all ordered on deck, and their irons were examined, when it was found th.st 10 of them had cut their fetters. This was done, by rouse of them, to free themselves from vermin, by others to risible them to get off their trousers. On the night of the 17th two or three of the convicts were standing near the hatchway stairs, when ass alarm was given by Baxter, who swore the convicts were shunt to rise, whets the soldiers and sailors fired, from different parts of the ship, into the prison. The convicts called for mercy several times, hut the tiring continued for upwards of an hour. The second-mate tired amongst the convicts with a short gun, and Baxter also used fire-arms against them. No person came near them that night—hut, when the prison was opened the next day, four mess were found dead, six.

Vickery, and John flooper, privates in the riame regiment, spoke to the fact of the firing, and of the convicts having been killed and woulided—with this addition, that, herons the firing commenced, the convicts mode it rush from the prison towards the Sick hay, the door of which was burst open.:— and the convicts "tied out " Fire sway I . you are parcel of young keouts, not used to fire with belt cartridges—you can only tire with blank." The affidavits of Captnin Drake, Dr. Dewsr, and two other individuals, set firth, that Baxter had received information from Michael Colli n s of a conspiracy amongst the prismilere to murder the soldiers and all the crew, except Mr. Milbank, and to run away with the vessel. Milbank was to be spared to navigate the ship tilt they came within sight of hind, when he too was to he dispatched. This information was corroborated by Lee and Ryan, two other Convicts—and, on examining the irons of the prisoners, many of them were fouud to be cut through. Bryan Kelly, who was killed on the neth. had bribed Lucy, one of the seamen, to procure him a pair of pistols to shout Dr. Dewar. On the 17th, when the disturbance arose. Dr. Dewar, Captain Drake, and Lieutenant Bur. eton, were sitting in the cabin.
