The Court was occupied for five hours th;s day in hearing Counsel for and against a rule for a Mandamus to the Governors and Company of the Conservators of the Thames, direaing them to re store Christian, and discharge Suffcry, as Register of that Body. The Aa under which the Corporation was formed was the 15th of Charles the Second, and they had the power of making, among other officers, that of Register, which was eleaive. For several years the Register aaed by Deputy, and when Mr. Cole, a former Register, died, his Deputy continued in office for some time aft:r, with out any appointment ty the Corporation, and at that time several persons registered their deeds with him. An eleaion soon after took place, and those persons voted for Suffery, by which he gained a majority, and was appointed. The chief question was, whether these Registries were good and valid ; and the next, whether the appointment was that of Deputy or Co-Register, as Mr. Cole had appointed his deputy without the in terference of the Corporation, and he did not receive any emolument or salary from that 'body. The Court, after hearing the arguments on both sides, considered it a question of importance, and deferred judgment to a future day. SOCIETY for Me SUPPRESSION of VICE. A Quarterly General Meeting cf this Society was held at the Crown and Rolls Rooms. Chancery-lane, on Monday Ist ; previous to the r , porr he;tig read, or the general business of the day entered into, Mr. Wakefield stated, that in pursuance of tl - ,e promise made at the last Meeting by Mr. Bowles, in the name of the Committee, upon the suhjea of using artifice, that they would endeavour to think of some plan which would meet the approbation of all parties, and not militate against the sentiments of those who disapproved of the principles on which the agents of the Society had ale d, they had considered of the subjeEt, but had not yet come to a determination. They, however, in order to prevent a repetition of the debate which had formerly occupied so much time, and apjeared likely to be injurious to the So ciety, recommended a conference between dime Gentlemen on each side, who should be authorized to canvass the subjeEt, anon t' submit the result of their conference to the next General Meeting. After some conversation between Mr. SN akefield, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. Nlacauly, about the wording of the Resolutions, they were put and una nimously agreed to. The report and proceedings of the Society were then read ; the Secretaries, and other Officers ap pointed for the ensuing yeas; and the several votes of thanks passed. Lieutenant-General Ptoot is appointed to com mand the North Inland Distri& in the place of Lieutenant. General G A !Mt tit. A letter from Captain STSWASO, of the Latoni Transport, slued in Lagos say, 428th April, states. - That he arrived there on the 15th, in company with the Juno, Merimer, Lord Dascom, and the Free dom, Transports, sailed from Gibraltar on the Bth April, under convoy of the Avower, shall of war, —he adds, that a French 74 gun ship, and a frigate, were cruising in the gut of Gibraltar, and that number of privateers were on the coast." A gentleman remarking yesterday that Chance and F o rtune seemed to have combined on Mon day, not to suffer any floating capital to stir, his friend wittily replied, the reason was, bectiuse Fortune was ravished on the first onset out of ten thousand pounds, against the w,ll of Chance; and in revenge, they will probably on Saturday next, combine to make a grand stir among the floating capitals; a serious consideration to such as have y_t put chased their ]'islets and Shares.

In expressing, there for:, to your Lordship the high sense 1 entertain of the itn portance of thisOfficerN service., I remain confident that bra just merits will he honoured by your Lood.hipte particular no• tics and approbation.
