N TAW INITLLICENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, Fts.l4. ißribre the LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE, at Guildhall.] LEA V. TELFEE. This was an action of ttover, to recover the value of a quantity cf silver plate. alleged to bate Seen wrongfully converted to hit own use, Plea—Noe (,luilty. Mr. C. Pitt brats stated the case. The plaintiff was a half-pay Sorgeon in the royal navy, and the defendant the Captain of a vets fel in the West India trade. in IILI, the plaintiff had some idea a going to the Cape of Good Hope to settle, and took his posseare onboard the Sir I iodfrey Webster, commanded by the defendant. He sent his baggage and other property on board, part of which was the silver plate in tmestion, consisting of a silver cruet frame, mustard pot, table spoons a gravy spoon, and two salt spoons. Soon afte rw ards he changnl his mind about going to the Cape of Conti (lone, and detranined to go to another country. He vent to demand his plate of the defendant, but the answer returned was, " I shall give you up the plate, provided you pay me for the hoard and lodging o your two cats." It seemed that the defendant had borrowed of the plaintiff two rats which were eele bitted rat catchers, for the porpose of destroying the vermin with which the vessel swarmed. The plaintiff; conceiving that the de. fendant could have no lien upon the plate for the board anti lodging ! of the cats, refused to secede to the terms proposed. Indeed the proposition was most nnreu.onable, considering the valuable work and labour which the cats had performed in clearing the vessel of rats. At first the plaintiff' thought the defendant has joking about the rata. hut to his surprise, the defendant had brought an action in the Common Pleas for the board and lodging of his feline pas sengers, and the case was now under the grave deliberation of that Court, whether the plaintiff had not a good plea of set-off; for the work and labour - ,erfort»ed by th;c cats. Ile that as it might, this action must certainly succeed, because a clear conversion of the plaintiff's plate would be proved. nod the defendant would learn that he had no lien of the description mentioned. Two witnesses were examined for the plaintiff: Me. SCAHLETT (with whom was Dlr. Archbold), opened the defendant's ease, and submitted two grounds of defence ; first, that the plaintiff had undertaken to pay the defendant's demand for maintaining the two cats, provided the plate was delivered, but 'having broken his agreement, the defendant was entitled to keep the plate until the 41. was paid ; and second, that the plaintiff' had no title to the property in question to enable him to maintain this action, inasmuch as he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act in 11120, and, consequently, all his property vested in his assignee. who alone had a right to the plate. Michael Datroy, Mate of the Sir Godfrey Webster, proved that the plaintiff had had all his plate away , front the ship, except the cruet frame and two salt-spoons, which were now produced in Court. The plaintiff had sent two cats and a dog on board the ves sel, all of which the defendant had to maintain. The cats were kept for five months. Cress-exambied.—Witness never saw any rats on board the ves sel. The cats ran away in Liverpool I rock. The proceedings in the Insolvent Debtors' Onset, in the matter of the plaintiff 'a petition, were then produced, and regularly prove'. It appeared front these that he was discharged on the Z"th of Sept. 1820. and that the Court ordered him to pay 41. a quarter out of his half-pay. Mr. Davis, a tailor, of Poland-street, Oxford-street, proved that he had been appointed by the Insolvent Court as assignee of the plaintift"s estate and effects, and considered himself entitled to the plate for the benefit of himself and the rest of the plaintiff's creditors. _ The Loan CillT:r JITSTICE called upbn Mr. Phillips to know what he had to say to this evidence. Mr. Puttt.trs submitted that the property in question might hare been acquired after the plaintiff's discharge, and, at all events, as against a wrong doer, trover was maintainable at the suit of his client. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said, that, is point of law, the plaintiff' had no tide to the property, it having become vested in his assignee, upon being discharged under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. Pult.t.trs contended, that, at all events, the plaintiff was entitle:l to a verdict for the gravy-spoon, of which, he sub. mitted, no satistiictory account had been given, inasmuch as that was a necessary article for the plaintiff and his wife to eat their soup with. The Loan ClltEr JUSTICE—I hold a silver spoon not to be a necessary article for an insolvent debtor. If he can afford to eat sour he must use a wooden spoon. No answer being given to the objection, the Learncl Judge di rected the plaintiff to be nonsuiterL COSTER T. SYMONS, OTHERWISE suraWOOD. This was an action by the indoreee, against the acceptor of a bill of exchange for 301. dated in 1817. 31r. Laselee and 'Mr. Moody conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Scarlett and 31r. Campbell the defendant's. ' The case was this :—the defendant had been the son of a stage. coach driver, who lost his life in the river Mersey some years since. Upon his father's death he became a manufacturer in Lancashire, :•ritl had had the misfortune to have a malicious commissions of bankrupt sued out against him. lie sucemeled in superseding the commission, after three actions, which absorbed all his means, and he was at length driven to real bankruptcy. Be came up to Lon. don, and was employed by a Mr. Shaw, a baker, to conduct the business of a shop in the Lambeth-road. Mr. Shaw being short of money in souse transaction of business, got the defendant to accept a bill of aw. by a way of accommodation. This bill wan indorsed to a Mr. Caffies, a flour-factor, to whom Shaw and a person named Alters were indebted. When the bill became due and not 'mid, Mr. Caffies agreed to take another bill for fifty pounds, in lieu of that accepted by the defendant; and the latter bill having been returned to Akers, it found its way into the hands of the plain tiff: A short time since it was discovered, that the defendant was heir at law to his uncle, Mr. Symons, the alder brother of his father, who was drowned in the river 31ersey. This discovery was purely accidental, and he succeeded his uncle in a large fortune in the county of CorawidL The first thing he did upon coining into possession of his estate, was to pay every bona tide creditor 20s. in the pound. The present claim he resisted under the circumstances above mentioned ; and it being proved, that the plaintiff had re ceived the bill after it was due, and that it had been accepted by the defendant without consitioation, The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found their verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SaTT.TEDAY, Fzie. 14. [Sittings in London.] WILLIAMS V. THE EARL OP STRATHMORE. Mr. Sergeant PELL stated that this was an action on a bill of exchange given by the noble defendant, before he attained his title. ---- There was no defence, and the plaintiff had a verdict for 1,1601. lls. lid. PROWSE T. SIIIIRET.. Mr. Sergeant TADDY stated the case on behalf of the plaintiff: This was an action to recover damages for an assault commuted by the defendant, on the 25th of January. The plaintiff kept a pub lie-house In old Fish-street, and, after the customers left on Satur day night, the defendant returned at a late hour, and the door be ing open, for the purpose of cleaning the place, he entered and took his seat ; the plaintiff remonstrated with him, but he refused to go, and a constable having been sent for, he promised to leave in a short time. As, however, he still continued in his seat, the plain tilFatteropted to turn him out, when he struck the plaintiff several violent blows, and in the scuttle winch ensued, some glass was broken. No defence was offered, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 11L Several other undefended causes were tried, none of which roe seeded the slightest degree of public interest. COURT OF EXCISE, SATURDAY, Fmk it Daniel Cowell, a common brewer, pleaded guilty to an informa lion for having in his possession one gallon of liquor, heretofore used for colouring beer, and eight ounces of liquonce, eight ounces ut Cayenne, and eight ounces of caraway seed ; and was lined in the mitigated penalty of 301. Henry Thompson was called on an information for having a ' vate still, but did not appear.

MANSION-HOUSE. Robert Cl•Jrler Nehassan %frau Charged With having stolen 771. le. I Id. from Mesas. Hoptias. brokers, of St. Petees.alley, Combat. . . Me. Edward Hopkins, stated that the prisoner was his clerk, and had been placed in the situation of a higher clerk, in conse quence of the ill conduct of the person who preceded him. The prisoner had of late completely emerged from the obscurity of the counting-house, and become acquainted with a set of dashing young fellows, who also had the means of robbing their employees, and were in the habit of meeting at a certain coffee-shop, where they sported East India warrants and other papers., no doubt with the view of obtaining money by them. On the 15th January, Bu- ' , charism, who was oceasiciaally employed in clearing goods from the East India House, told Mr. Hopkins that th ree parcels of mills, which were in the Company's wardresses, must be for warded. Mr. Hopkins, who was baiy at the thne, asked him the amount necessary to dear away the galls, and being told that 771. Is. 11d. was the suns, gave him a draft upon Whitmore's bank for the amount. Mr. Hopkins supposed that the gall. were sent off to his correspondent in Scotland who had written for them, but received intelligence that they had not arrived. The prisoner assured him that they had been sent off to their destina tion, and even mentioned the name of the ship. The trick could not, however, be kept up much longer t amd the prisoner abscond. ed. and concealed himself in a brother pear Welklose-square, at which he had spent the 771. in three nikhts. The police were ac tively in pursuit of him fur some days, but at last they found him, but in such a dress a. made it very difficult to identify him. In stead of being dressed like a broker's clerk. his clothes were made in military fashion, and his upper lip was covered with mus tachios. _ _ _ It was proved that he changed the draft at Messrs. Whitmore's, and that the galls had never been taken from the warehouse. nor paid for. Mr. Hopkins said the conduct of the prisoner had been the most unprincipled imaginable, as he had been treated with the greatest indulgence. Twelve immths ago, Mr. Hopkins said he might have transported Bucharan, but he tbrgave him, and again took him into confidence. The unfortunate young man had thus lost ore of the best opportunities that could Mire offered. He had been taken into the service of bis employer in the greatest indigence, and was now quite irreclaimable. The Lon!) MAYOR told the prisoner that he had destroyed, by an act of dishonesty and base ingratitude, the brightest prospects. Buchanan was then fully committed for trial. shire. 'Upon inquirlue , fter the drawer of the bill, no such per son as David Bowdig *vs to be heard of, nor did his client believe there was any such mean in existence, and the acceptors of the bill s MOM% Turner. end Co. were bankrupt*. With this outline of the facts, he should proceed to call his witnesses, with this ob servation, that there evidently had been a conspiracy to defraud his client by means of this forged bill. Henry Elder sworn.—l reside in Margaret-street, Cavendish square, and am a coach-maker; in March last I had a cabriolet to dispose of; the price was 120 guineas. I was applied to on several occasions by the prisoner, who was a stranger to me. to purchase the carriage. The first application was to my clerk, and afterwards, I saw Mr. Butler myself. The first thee was on the 6th of March ; our meeting was to arrange for the payment of the vehicle and harness, my servant having previously agreed with him for the price. I saw Mr. Butler at Hatchett's Hotel, and told him that I waited upon him respecting the purchase of the cabriolet and harness. Ile said he was not prepared to pay the money, but he had a good bill, if I would fee him at Garraway's on the next morning, and he would let me have it. The price for the cabriolet, with certain additions, such as painting the prisoner's crest, arms, &c. was then agreed to be ltt).. On the following day I went to Garraway's according to egreement, and saw the prisoner there, he then gave me the bill for 10411. I now produce, and said it was a very good one ; and that he had taken it of Mr. Davis, of Seaton House, Southampton, ter a horse which be had sold to him, and that Mr. Davis was a man of great fortune, and living in the first respectability in Hampshire. The prisoner did not say what he wanted the cabriolet for, lie gave me a check for 291.. payable at Stammers and Co., Dove-coort, v,ombarti-street, and referred me to them for his character. I went to these gentlemen, and they said that Mr. Ilutler was a gentleman of great respecta bility, and particularly as to his family connection, aid they con. sidercd him to he a man of honour and property. The check was paid. Afterwards tht y add me they had not 2141. of the prisoners, but they had so good an opinion of him that they would advance it. I told the prisoner I hail hapiirt-1 after the acceptors of the bill, and found they were not re!•pectabh", and he then gave me the assurance respecting Mr. Davis which I hare stated. I delivered the car riage livery to Mr. Butler, at Elvin's livery-stables, Woodstock street, Bond-street, on Saturday afternoon, the Bith of March, in consequence of Mr. Stammer's character of the prisoner, and of the latter's representations respecting Mr. Davis. On the follow ing ‘Vednesday I saiv the cabriolet in London-wail, for sale, at Mr. George*, a coach-masker. From what I there learned , I sought after the prisoner. I went to Ilatchetes, to the Portland, to the Blenheim Coifee Horses, and I also went to Brighton; but, notwithstanding my diligence, I could not find him, and I discovered that he h:ai gone to Boulogne. The bill was not due when I inquired at t!tc coffee-honses, but it was due when I went to Brighton. I have inquired after Mr. Dacia, of Seaton House, Hants, and can find no such person or place; and the warms, Turner and Co. are hunkrupts, and have lately appeared in the Gazette. Dowd Josh. Quin sworn—l am clerk to the above witness ; the prisoner called at my employees about eight or ten days before he purchased the cabriolet ; he was 3 stranger, and entered the ahop ; the cabriolet was there ; he asked the price of it ; I said 123 gui neas ; he locked at the carriage. liked it very much, and said he would tall again in a few days ; he called in three days afterwards, and made some observations about the carriage and its price, but I do not recollect what he said ; he railed again in three or four days after that, and said he would give 115 guineas for the cabriolet alone, but agreed afterwards to give 121 guineas for the cabriolet and harness, with extra welt. such as painting family arms, crest, /ie. In talking of the ar:rs, he spoke of his family ; he took out his watch-seal to give me an impression, on which I perceived a ducal coronet, and said to him, " I beg your pardon, 1 did not know that I was speaking to a Nobleman." He replied, " No, I ant not a Nobleman. but 1 em related to the Earl of Ormond, and my name is Butler ;" he then gave his address, Captain Butler. at Matchett's Ilotel, Piecedilly ; he spoke of the payment of the carriage, and said at first he would pay all in cash, but afterwards In said, apparently with much indifference, it would not make much differeoce, but he would pay half cash, and give an approved bill far the remainder. Mr. Elder was then allied by me into the shop, and I told him tai the purchase made by the prisoner, and Mr. Elder afterwards conducted the business himself. The cabriolet was delivered on a Saturday evening at Elvin's sta. bles, - and on the Wednesday morning following I discovered its removal from that place, and I instantly informed Mr. Elder of that fact. Ocorge Samuel Forde sworn—l am Mr. Eider's (the prosecutor) attorney. In consequence of what Mr. Elder discovered on Wed nesday, the 2M of March, respecting the cabriolet, I went to Mr. I George's, the coachmaker, in London-wall, and gave a notice to him respecting the carriage. My clerk presented the bill for pay ment. Shortly after it became due, I went to Southampton, and Ciel'a day at that place, making diligent inquiries at all the s d , taverns, and public places, and of all persons likely to give tne the information I required, if there was such a person as P. Davis, or such a place as Seaton House, in the county of Banta ; and I could not hear of any such person or place. I inquired at Winchester to the same effect, on my return to London, hut there I peel no information on the subject. I have made diligent in. qt David Bowdig, the drawer of the hill, and can find no such Itemon in existence.

On Saturday n case ofas.eryiiinsl7l;l nature was heard at this , 1 Ir-thee this day before G. R. 3finshull, Esq., in the private room. 1 It was a charge of assault preferred by Miss Marshall, daughter of 1 the late 11r. Sergeant Marshall, against the Rev. Thomas Viall, of Twickenham. The defendant, we underatand, married one of the sisters of Miss 31u:shall, and the cause of misunderstanding her, we have been informed, arisen out of some family disagree. meet. Miss Marshall appeared before Sir Richard Itimie on Fri. day, and submitted to him a written information, complaining of MI defer-Alan: haring met her while she was riding in bee carriage near Tesleington, he being on horseback, and having struck her with a whip or stick. flaring repeatedly before lad oernaion to complain of the intemperate conduct of the worthy Divine, she now felt it her duty, from apprehensions of a more serious at. tack, to take legal measures, to prevent a repetition of such conduct. - _ . . _ _ _ Sir R. Minx tt, on hearing this information, asked Misa Mar. shall what it was she desired of him ? Miss Marshall said, she wished to have & warrant granted against Mr. Vial!, in order that he might be brought before the worthy magistrate to answer for his conduct. Sir It I CHARD SSW, it was his duty to comply with this re. quest, under the circumstances stated ; and Miss Marshall having been sworn to her information, a warrant was granted &evadingly, and entrusted to Parry and Baker, two of the patrole, to be es. ecuted. The hearing of the case was appointed for Saturday at one o'clock. At an early hour in the morning tite officers proceeded to the residence of 31r. Viall, at Twickenham, and finding him at home, intimated the object of their visit. 31r. Viall was • good deal surprised at such a call ; but after some time agreed to wpm. pany the officers to London. l'ost horses were then ordered lb his own carriage, and the two officers and the Rev. Divine's battler having taken their scats on the dickey, Mr. vial himself got in. side, and was driven to the office. 3liss 31arshall bad previously arrived in her carriage from Ted. ditigton, where she resides, accompanied by a young lady. lkfore the inquiry commenced, 31r. Allen, one of the ‘fagis trates of Union-Ha ll , came to the other, and stated, that from • paragraph he had seen he was induced to suspect who the parties were that were coining forward ; and on being told that the war. rant bad been issued against Mr. Viall, he intimated that that gen. tlenian was not at all times perfectly cognizant of what be was doing. He knew bin personally, and although occasionally acting in an eccentric manner, he was in the main a very geed man. Both plaintiff and defendant having arrived, Mr. Minsbull bad an interview with the former, who was waiting in the private office, and on his return he stated that the lady wished to have a public examination, but had sent for her solicitor, who she was desirous should be present during the proceeding. M r.i 111inshull also Mated that the Rev. Mr. Vial! had likewise sent for his solicitor, and that when both parties arrived the matter should come on. Some convcrvation then took place between Mr. Allen, the Magistrate. the Rev. Mr. Vali, and Miss Marshall's soli citor. The result of which was, that the latter came into the public-office, and stated to Mr. Minshull that as it was a family dispute, it was desirable the examination should be private. Mr. ail NSH Cl.l. asked if this was the wish of both parties Alr. ALLEN remarked that helium certainly be the interest of all parties that such should be the course purvticd ; and the solicitor said that it was Miss Marshall's request that the subject should be investigated privately. Mr. MiNon EL I. said, he thought this was the proper election, and intimated his intention, when Mr. Viall's solicitor came, that he would hear the matter in the private room. . . Mr. Viall's solicitor having arrived, all the parties went into the private room, aml Miss Marshall stated her charge. She said, that as she was tiding in her carriage near Teddington, on Thurs day last, she was met by Mr. Viidl on horseback. Iler carriage window was open, and as he passed he struck in at the window with his whip, which alighted on her muff and made a considerable mark ; as he rode off he muttered something, but she did not hear what ; she added that she was a good deal alarmed, and from other causes felt it necessary to take measures for the protection of her person from similar outrages. The Rev. Mr. Vial! denied that he had any intention to strike Miss Marshall, and said that as he was passing the carriage, which was on the wrong side of the road, he merely struck out with his whip, to make his horse, which was a spirited animal, get out of the way. Miri Marshall, however, persisted in her charge of assault, and the Rev. I irntleman was finally ordered to enter into sureties, him self in 1,0001. and two others in NUL each, after which he was dis charged. The Rev. Mr. Vial', it will be recollected, is the gentleman who some short time back prosecuted his servant for stealing about four pennyworth of a cold round of beef ; which servant was acquitted, and afterwards brought an action for a malicious prosecution against the prosecutor, and recovered WI. damages. the dill produced at the house of Maims and Co. morocco Merchants, Grange-road, Berrooodsey, when it Micann due; Tur ner and Co. are the acceptors : I found no effects; the place was *but up, and the panics, I was told, had been made bankrupts. The evidence being concluded, hir. SHEARMAN said, that lie was not prepared at that moment to meet the charge, but he was instructed to say, that if the case was adjourned to a future day he should be able to bring forward itidenee to prove that the bill was not • forged one ; he should produce Mr. Davis, who paid the bill to his client, and David Bowdig, the drawer, and he trusted that the Magistrate would not fully commit the gentleman who stood before them, involved in so serious an accusation. upon the weak evidence that had been brought forward; especially when there were persons present who had seen Mr. Davis, the acceptor, who paid the bill to the pawner, robin& about the streets of London during the last week. Mr. IiRIFFITHE said, there was a pima/uric case dearly made out against the prisoner. Mr. Anovrtirs pressed fora committal, and said that it was impossible to produce 31r. P. Davis, of Seaton House, Southamp ton, because there was no such place as Seaton House; but a Mr. Davis might be produced on the trial, who might swear that he was the acceptor; but it would be for the Jury to pay, if the utter ing a forged instrument by the prisoner was not made out, when it was sworn, that on uttering it he said—" That it was acwpted by a gentleman of fortune, living at Seaton House, Southampton, who had paid it him fur a horse which he sold him," no such person being in existence. 3lr. SHEARMAN said, that if his client bad berm imposed upon, and had received the bill from persons who made the same repre sentations to him as he made to the prosecutor, then he felt con. vinced the prosecution could not be persevered in. Mr. A pommy.; s said, that if it was shown that D. Tlowdig and the bankrupts in the Grange-road, had manufactured bills, and had conspired together to put them into circulation, and the accused was not a party in the fraud and conspiracy, then the prosecution would not be pressed against hint. The ptisoner who Is a man of very gentlemanly and officer like appearance, addressed the Court, and strongly urged that another examination might be allowed him, as he should be able to clear himself of the imputations cast upon him, and was about to ad. dress the 3lagistrates upon the merits of the case, when he was advised to desist. lie was then fully committed to Neargate for trial. FIR? AT Di INC:IESTZR.—On Friday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the factory of the Oxford-road Twist Company. It first originated itt the second story from the attic, at the end of the factory next the River Medlock, and is supposed to have been caused by the friction of a shaft that wan not kept sufficiently oiled. The fire communicated to an engine used for cleaning waste, and in a moment the room was filled with flames. Fortunately, however, the rooms at that end of the factory are but of small extent, and are separated from the rest by the staircase, and by party walls, which prevented the flames from spreading laterally. Some alarm was, however, at one time, felt for the safety of the work people in the upper stories, as the tire had rendered the staircase impassable before they had time to escape: but there being a number of ladder' ready fixed to the building, they all descended, by that means, late the yard. A number of fire-engines very promptly attended, and by great ex ertion on the part of the hremen, together with the assistance of the powerful forcing pump of the factory, the fire was subdued without any further mischief than the destruction of three small moms, and a small portion of the roof.--Manrherter Guardian. On the evening of IVednesclay last, the Union Coach, from heeds to Sheffield, was overturned at t'ie bottom of NVorsbo rough Dale, by the horses becoming ungovernable, when, melan choly to relate, one of the passengers, Mr. Gordon, of Sheffield, music and dancing waster, was unfortunately killed on the spot, leaving his wife and two chitdren to lament his loss. Two other passengers were seriously injured.—Lads Parr. . - - On Saturday last, about one o'clock in the morning, as James 3PNeill, a seaman, was going over a long stage on board of his vessel, in the Prince's Dock, he came in contact with the bow sprit of a vessel, which projected over the stage, and was precipi tated Into the water ; and, notwithstanding the prompt exertions of Jams Preston, who immediately stripped and plunged in to try to save him, the poor man was drowned.—Liverpool Mercury. Mc arora or JouN Joxes.—We have given an account of an atrocious attack on a sawyer, named Jones, by which he lost his life. We have now to state, that the verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the ease is, in effect, " Wilful murder against Henry Griffith, and others unknown." Griffith was apprehended imme diately after the attack. He was seen, we learn, to return to the spot and renew his blows when his victim was on the ground. The'evidence against him was positive, and he was fully commit ted as a principal in the crime. Two othets were concerned.— Lirerpoo/ Mercury. !loam at.e Xionuta.—A horrible nturdtr was perpe- Wined on Monday (9th inst.), within two miles of Clonmel, on the I person of Mr. Hamenon, a gentleman of amiable and inoffensive 1 manners, and of an advanced period of life. The ru ff ians, in effect ing an entrance, awoke Mr. Hanierton, who, Crain the bead of the stain, discharged a ease of pistols, but it is feared without effect. The fire was returned, by which Mr. Hamertou's servant was must dangerously wounded. The ruffians then ascended the staircase, and closed with Mr. Hameron, whom they beat in the most cruel and savage manner with the butt.end of their pistols, until life was extinct.

Mr. FoaDe, the solicitor on the part of the prosecution, said, that he retained Mr. Adolphus on Friday night, and be promised to attend at the office at two o'clock at the latest, and he hoped the Magistrate would postpone the examination, to enable him to obtain the attendance of Mr. Adolphus, as he did not feel himself competent to proceed without his legal assistance.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. [FURTHER PARTIE"SLARS.I OD Thursday night, the Sth instant, the Wit Jo* of Cart, Captain ---, bound front Cork to Liverpoor, dada with pro. visions, the wind being N.N.W. s blowing hard, a tt e mpted to take shelter in Mobil-mil harbour, an d succeeded in geeing pretty close to the pier -head • bat the atoms increasing, her chain cable snapped in two. Another anchor was thrown out, but to no purpose, she drifted away (the wind then, at eight o'clock, being increased to a perfect hurricane), and struck on the rocks under the Penrhoe do. main, the seat of Sir J. S. Stanley, Bart. A number ofpersons had collected to therpot by the time she ruck, in the hopes of mt. doing assistance, amongst whom were Captain Hugh Evans, the Harbour Master, and Mr. Sparrow, with his brother officers of Customs, who got on the rocks so near, as distinctly to hear the piercing screams of women, and children, and men, in piercing agony, calling out tot help--". Save, (th ! save us !'' The men were directed en cut down the mainmast, which, it was cake. hated, would reach the rocks we were upon; but, to our great grief, we heard they had no axe, nor anything to cut it down with. The e wind blowing over the wreck, rendered it impossible for vs to throw them anything. The screams of the anoint children ' now became greater, hut soon died away. The men on hoard were now desired to throw a line towards the rock, v amen having a rope round his middle, went from the rocks into the breakers to attempt to catch it, but tried in vain. We were now coninelel to quit our station, as we were completely surrounded a the g:/w. ing tide, and our anxiety of mind piece, ted our noti r ini our 2-n_ gee, and two men very narrowly escaped being carried ofily a gnat wave, which weid completely over us, but we held one by tho other. The poor crew now teemed distracted, as all was rap a-ently over. One man now appeared undressed, and was /ern it t h row himself over, but sank to rise no more. The tide having now raised the vessel, and a part of her cargo floating about, slie came much nearer to another great rock we got upon, when, after a num ber of unsuccessful attempts, at last, with great danger, we sue. eroded in catching their line, to which they fastened a rope. which ere drew on shore. Directions bring given them to have. their rope in readiness, they were to tie a man around his middle, and we to drag him on shore, but they were so distracted that' the rope oat entangled, and they could lot out no more. Mr. Simpson, the agent at Penrhns, on that sent up to the house for ropes, and while we were tying them together we saw one man setting . off along the rope, holding fast by his legs and arms. aced so moving slowly on, and to the surprise of all, t ho kept encouraging him to hold fast and he woithi be saved, did arrive safe on shore. Another followed his example, and also got safe, hut no more dune undertake rho dangerous attempt. By this time we had got our ropes ready, and by giving proper direettons, a third was tied to the rope, who wh e t out, e'full away," and he was safely dragged through the heave breakers on shore. A fourth immediately followed biro. A fist was now fast, and only left the vessel, when we perceived a sixth close behind, which two, as they (through more difficulty than the rest) reached the shore, D dreadful crash ensued, which shivered t h e vessel to atoms, and stunned our ears. The six mat who so nar rowly escaped a watery grave, were humanely taken to Pen r h oa (the scat of Sir J. Stanley), where every preparation had been made for alleviating their distress, and by about midnight they stew e d tolerably well. They had left Cork that morning, with a crew of eight men and eleven passengers, who consisted of a Mr. Chid* half-pay in the army (chi- was the person who attempted to get on shore, being an expert swimmer) , a sergeant, two men and their wives, and live small children, who all (with two of the crew) pe rished.

Sean+ still continue* to be made for the bodice of Mary GM and bee infant, but hitherto without anoreos. Considerable difference of opinion has arisen regarding the ease of James Prigg, the gardener, whose sudden disappearance excited so strong a sensation, and we have received two letters upon the subject. The first supports the opinion that Prigg has been mur dered, and is from a respectable gentleman of linareshorough, who says, "Some tune ago there was a person from Thor Arch Mills, 11110, in coming from York market, threw his pockeok into the seek turned his horse loose, and left marks upon the toad, to create a suspicion that he had been foully dealt with; and, after wands. able struggling, that he bad been murdered. Search was made in every direction for the body, and an industrious farmer at Accee , had a field of corn trampled under foot and destroyed ; but it toned oat that the murdered man had fled to America, to chest his as. ditors, leaving his wife and family in the utmost distress. This happening in the immediate neighbourhood of linaresbro' many pen. pie have supposed James Prigg's affair ma be of a similar nature, but when the circumstances areal! considered, it is next to impossible it should be so. The person from Thorp-Arch was in embarrassed circumstances, and had a large family; Prigg's circumstances to known to have been good ; he was a young unmarried man, twenty. three years of age, and surrounded by friends. Again the pocket book of the first-mentioned person was found in the Mad ; nigb was found in the wood, by mere accident; where, according to elf calculation, it might have rotted undiscovered. The not finding the body is nothing to the pumose ; as, hum the rock and mina. ?annum bed of the river 1 4 1 id it may remain for months undia. covered.

THE RING. We are glad Bast Stockman, who crossed the fight with Cavanagh. is excluded from the ring. Even Bill Gibbons wad shocked at ins misconduct, and declares he shall never come within his ropes again.

The affair, it is expected, will take place within silty miles of London, and will, no doubt, excite much interest in the sporting world. Langan is at fine condition, and has youth awl strength on his side ; his talent at throwing, too, peculiar to his countrymen, must afford hint considerable advantage on a boarded stage, as falls in such a situation must be much more effective than those on the turf; Spring, however, is the favourite, and sa this to be his last battle he will no doubt, avail himself of his ca. tomary good generalship.
