Mr. fiti•le.m.in Le M till kit a afterwards stated, *At the ( •,:ontir ee would lose no tithe—and also mole some observations or what fell from Mr. Waithman, at the last Colo t, which he conceived to rellea on the Committee. After a motion was made, "That this Court do agree with the Committee ir ;heir report ;" I Mr. SENIVEL thirom said. the repon was very un misfaCtory. He fully agreed with the observations of the worthy Commoner, at the last Court, that if the city of Lmdon did not speedily take some steps towards improving that Market, it would, in all probabilis y, be removed from the city. He had it from undoubted authority, that such a plan had been in contemplation, and even some measures taken towards effecting it. Mr. WAIr ii It AN,. after making many observa timis leading to shew the absolute necessity of an enlargement of the market, aad also its inadequacy to the accommodation of the public, complained that this report, after a lapse of two years, gave no information whatever as to the plan in contempla tion ; if they were suffered to take their own course, it all probability, in two year; more they would make another report as little satisfaetory.

" The fever has now gone completely through the town, there not being one single house w:iose in habitants h.tre escaped the contagion ; and the deaths in fever have now decreased in consequence, to about four or five daily. At the South part of the Rock, it still continues to rage among the it-mpg, xic! it is the general opinion of - the faculty, that the disease will not be extirpated till every person has been attacked with it. It is now clearly aleertaitied to be the malite,- hant pestilential fever, as has prevailed in the West Indies since 179 j ; and, it is a remarkable fel, that the only person. who escape the contagion, are such as have had that lever in tare West Indies, Or the fever at .Philadelphia or Malaga.

DOE, on Mt demne If W 1.11, I A MS, v. COCK. This was an anion in ejedment, to recover . possession of a house and premises in Pall Mall the lease was made by the Plaintiff to Meiir Powell and Smallwood, and by the latter underh to the attendant, at a rent of 1361. 'Os. The bat of the premisses in question was to St. James' square ; and there was a corditional clause in ' lease, t!iat• the tenant was not to raise buildings, alter the premises in such a manner as to obstru light and air from the adjoining houses. It appeared in evidence, that a story had been raised, and various other alterations made, which greatly obstruded both light and air. tinme of the Jury had had a view of the pre mises, and, after a short examination of Witnesses, found a Verdict for the Plaintiff. HAMILTON V. LONGMAN, erecutor of EVANS. This was an aelion to recover the sum ol upon a Bill of Exchange, under very pectileo cir• cumstances. Mr. ERSKINE stated the case of the Plaintiff, _ Archibald Hamilton, a Printer, who, he observed, had brought this aflion against the Defendant, executor of the late Mr. ihornas Evans, of Paternos. ter-row, bookseller. This was one of those few cases, which displayed 1 melancholy instance of his. man depravity .end avarice. Mr. Fyans had-been an eminent bookseller in Paternoster-row, and his son was married to the sister of the Plaintiff; but he was a singelarly unfortunate young man ;,' it -- thought expedient to send him on a voyage to A, rica, for which purpose, it was necessary to fit out ; the father, though desirous to push his fortune in the world, was willing to do so, provided it him nothing ; and being one of those creatures, never could be prevailen on to put his hand in pocket, refused to advance a shilling toward; his son's as ,stance. Mr. Wilkie, a friend of the party, applie to the old man to advance Mt. towards fitting his son out, and he declined doing so ; but being a person who thought he might make a pro mi-,e for a matter not likely to occur, and being al ways accustomed to look at a distance up in payments of this kind, he promised, that if the De• fend Ant would advance tile money, he would pay it at a futue day ; ,his the Defendant would not do, unless • e Plaintiff would give him his promis sory :tote for the amount, and, to induce him to do so, it was agreed he should c..deem it by doing printing work to tile value, for the Defendant. By this means the money was raised, a :d the young man was sent to A.nerica, where h: wandtred an outcast from society for eighteen months, without friend or conciettion to assist or relieve him. On his return, he sought his father, from whom he should naturally expeff relief, bu• sought in vain. The old miser, on hearing of his son's return, concealed him self from him, and, in his search for hi, unnatural pa rent, he became a viEtim to hunger and •s•ant, and fell down, helpless an i destitute, near a church at Shore stitch. When accosted by passeneers, the only words he could pronounce were, "N 0.34, Pater soster-roee." Ile was put into a coach, s end carried to his father's house, and the persea who then saw him denied any knowledge of him, and refused him admittance. The next day, he was found in the street, by some humane mum who gave hire six-pence. fie was then taken to Bartholomew's Hospital, and when questioned, could only articulate " Six-pence ;' there he in a day or two died of ahnal want, while his father, wallnwtilic in riches, skulked from place to place, that he might nut see or he seen by any one; and, tilieteh he would not give his son what would buy him a morsel of bread in his life-time, he had the generosity to spend toirec shidinitt to ba: him. Some time atter, the old man died, heaving a fortune of uewat•ds of 6,1001. which, instead of bequeathing t.' his grand-children, he devised Mr. Brown, wha hal hem a fellow shop-keeper. leaving the Men lent his executor. Mr. Wilkie rhea proved, that by the express de sire of old Evans, be had applied to the Defendant to advance the foul which he accordingly did, upon the conditions already mentioned. With this, and some other :mat sum,, the witness fitted out young Evens for his voyage. • On his cross-examination by Mr GARROW _ said the moneywas Advanced with the knowledge of old Evans ; but he could not swear positively as to his being acquainted with the menn-r in which Hamilton Was to %WO k it out with the Defendant he could not lieip declaring he was the greatest old scoendrel that ever lived, and had literally hid himself, in melee that he miht avoid the necessity of relieving the wants of his child. Mr. Butter stated, that he had seen old Evans many times at the request of his sun, whom the fa ther called " An unfortunate boy," but never could be prevailed upon to call him son; he applied for some relief for the young man, but the old fellow refused, saying, he would not give him one far thing—and alleging, that if he was not aide to borrow five guineas for himself, he must go to A workhouse: witness was sent by the Plaintiff at one time to look tor hint, as he was the only persen who knew where to fled him : he asked him to pay two notes of. 751. each for his son, and the one in qaestioa for 1001. The former two he insisted he had nothing to do with, but the latter he admitted to be his debt, and promised to pay it, declaring at that time, that he had not a shilling. His son was then in starving condition, and aftuAlly eating the leaves of the trees in the witness's garden. Mr. Gait aow, on the part of the Defendant, in timated to the Court, that it was nut his intention to resist the paymert of the demand further than he felt it his duty to see that he was justifiable in paying the debt. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff of I 001. she said she could not give more than fourteen, which he refusing, they both went out of the shop. The Witness at that time did not suspeft that any thing had been taken from him ; hut, as, soon as they went out, he lapis to roll up his lace, which lay on the counter, and, in less than three minutes, missed that piece which Ann Harris had admired so much. He immediately followed them up Cran barn-alley, but could no where ,ee them. On the fath, he saw them pass his door, and fol lowed them up Long-acre ; he followed them into a linen-draper's shop, belonging to a Mr. *knight ; he went to the door, and beckoned Mr. M•hnight to come to him ; but he said, if he would come into the parlour, he would speak to him. He ace .1 a mply went its, and the Prisoners seeing him, went • out of the shop ; he followed them, and took Han nah Palmer by the arm, and asked her to go wich him ; to which she said, she would go wan him wherever he pleased. He brought her into Mr. M'Knight'•. shop, and sent for a constable, to whom he delivered them. The lace never was found, nor did they make any admissions in their examination before the Magistrate. The Prisoners did not call any IVitness, but said that they had often bought things at the Prosecutor's shop, and that day they saw each other but for a few minutes, while Ann Harris was trying on a gown which she had making for Hannah Palmet. Sir Roams. Glt AM Ali summed •ip the evidence. The Jury found them both G04.'!,4; but recommend ed them to mercy on account of theh youth. Ara Johnston was iadined fot stealinit two sheets, two blankets, and other things, th• proix•t ty of Coin Forbes, lett to the Prisoner with a furnished lodging.

Sever. boatmen lost their way on the River for rwar,tre hours in the darkness of the fog, and vessels the were under sail were obliged to drop a sir anchur by which they lost a tide. On Wednesday evening, a woman of say appea ince went to a linen-draper's chop, in litshopsgate street, where she bought articles to the amount and paid for them, which she took with her i a coach ; soon after, the master missed a piece finc•muslin, and a card of lace, value 101.
