The Committee wspu. anxious to have every inquiry made, and looked on the atUimiators as their best friends. If the views of the Society hall been tramped, it was because of the want of sufficient !Mks to meet all demands. The objects which the Institu. tson relieved were of three classes: Ist, those who were In deed utterly. destitute of means, morals, and religion, and the Society had saved many of this class, who had been cast cast .6f prison, from again joining their abandoned associates, and returning to their profligate ways. The 2d class were children, who had been represented by patents and others, as given to bad and pilfering habit*, but who were not too old in vice to be perfectly reclaimed. The Judges too had often sent boys to them who bad ham trial for and found guilty of offence's, but who would have hem utterly ruined •by being placed in prisons among those who were hardened in iniquity. The 3d class consisted of a number of pawns *be were destitute of the means of existence; but care was 'imps taken to relieve such only as had no claim on parochial soditlicte.

STANEA'S HOSPITAL SOCIETT. The Anniversary Dinner of the Seamen's Hospital Society took place yesterday at the London Tavern. Vice-Admiral Sir George Cockburn, 0.C.8. presided, supported by Admiral` Sir I.3iab Harvey, . Vice-Admiral the lion. SIT Hobert Stopford, K.C.8., Hear-A dmiral Sir Pulteney K.C.R., Captain Sir Christopher Cole, K.(7.11.. Sir F. Om manney, 31. P., W. Manning, Esti., N.Y.. W. Williams. Esq., 31.1'., T. Wilson. Esq., 31. P., W. R. K. Douglas, Esq., 31. P., r. Sheriff Whittaker, and air. Alderman Venables. This society originated in the appointment of a Committee in Ihl7, to manage a fund they subscribed far the relief of distressed ..eamen. The Committee having ascertained dust there are in the enure of the year many hundred seamen in the port of London des titute of medical or surgical aid, recommended that a permanent Hospital should be provided for their relief, with a view to which a public Meeting was held no thelbh of NI arch, 11121, at the City ' of London Tavern, at which it was determined to establish a per ' manent floating Hospital, for the use of sick and diseased seamen only, and the Grampus, formerly a :,0.1.,run ship, was granted by his 31aiesty's tiovernment for that purpose. From the reports which have been laid before the Society, it appeared, that since the Grampus was opened for patients, in less than 16 months, 1030 pa tients have been admitted, to which should be added 171 relieved at the establishment at Stepney before the ship was ready. Accord ing to the statement of receipts and expenditure, the amount of sub scriptions and donations to the 31st of Dec. 11r22, was MIL I ls. 9i. A very numerous and highly respectable company sat down to dinner. After the cloth was removed, the usual toasts were given in honour tif the King and Royal Family, accompanied with the appropriate airs. fhe CHM II SI AN then, in a speech highly suitable to the occa sion, proposed as a toast, " Success to this Society," which was re ceived with great applause. " The President and Vice-President of the Society" wen then . . Mr. MANNINO returned thanks. Sir ROBERT Srorroan then proposed the health of the Tres surer, Wm. Williams, Esq., to whom the Society was so deeply I indebted for his generous exertions. The toast having been drunk with considerable applause, I Mr. WitA.l.ssts returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him. He aissured the Meeting that he felt little due to himself for I the discharge of the duty they had devolved upon him. The greatest gratification he could receive would cc...gist in witnessing the pros perity of the institution. " The Chairman and Committee of Management" were then given. Mr. BLACKBURN (the ('ltaimian) a'sured the Meeting of the devotion ut himself and his colleagues to the interests of the society. The subscriptions for the ensuing year were then read by the Secretary. It was announced that the Lords of the Admiralty had given 300 guineas, end the t ith r brethren of the Trinity House 100 guineas (their second donat'.un). hit° the subscription was gathering in the room. The ettAzautix proposed " the health of the Physicians attic Society." Mr. Macstx wo is. in an eloquent speech, returned thanks. His greatest desire was to see the charity flourish, and in further ance of that object his exertions would be bestowed with pleasure. The CHAIR MAN then, in a brief but expressive address, yra posed " The health of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of I.on don," which was drunk with three tin" three. . . _ . Mr. Alderman ‘'r ?LAMLE!! acknowledged the honour conferred upon the body to which he belonged. " The Members fur the City of London" were then given by the ' Chair, and received with a warm emd hearty welcome by the C'otn iiL. in returning thanks, observed that a Society ori- Filleting in a similarly benevolent spirit was about to be organized. fhe object of the new Institution would be to rescue from shipwreck all who might be exposed to that terrific evil. The Earl of Liver pool had consented to be appointed President, sod the Lords of the Admiralty had promised their patronage. A public meeting would be held that day week, over .which the Archbishop of Canterbury would preside. The lion. Gentleman, after adverting to the dona tion of the Lords of the Admiralty, ameludal with proposing their healths, and he trusted the company would give them as good a fire as they had enabled us to give our enemies. The Lords of the Admiralty were then drunk with great ap plause. Mr. KEITH DOECLAs returned thanks. He observed, that he was but the youngest Lord of the Admiralty, but, he hoped, not wholly dlsentitled to their attention. The CHAIRMAN then, in compliment to the corporation to which he belonged, and to the virtues of the individual, proposed "the health of Mr. Sheriff Whittaker," which was received with conai iderable acclamations. Mr. Sheriff Iffit ITTAKER expressed the gratitude he felt in a short but expressive speech. The CHAIRMAN trusted that the company would forget his pro fession while he proposal the next toast. He begged be might be considered as an Englishman only ; and, while he was an English. man, he could not forget the services his eminent comrades had rendered the country. He then gave—" The naval officers present," which was received with very great applause. Sir EI.IAR HARVEY returned thanks. The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House were then toasted, and afterwards the Ladies, subscribers to the Charity. The CHAIIIMAY, after apologising for his unavoidable secession from the company, then proposed " The Stewards." Sir C. COLE spoke for himself and his fellow Stewards. The Chtuomaro then withdrew, and Sir PULTESET MAL COLIII was called to the vacant seat, and the company prolonged their conviviality until a late hour. The toasts were accompanied atilt appropriate airs from the pro- fessional singers in attendance. The whole evening was passed most agreeably, and the general feeling in favour of the Charity seemed to be considerably enhanced by the review of its progress that was laid before the company. /NST/TUT/ON FOR ORPHANS OF CLERGYMEN. The Anniversary Meeting of the friends and subscribers to the above institution was held yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the several reports of the treasurers and muter and minutest of the school, and for the election of fourteen of the candidates for admission. At half-past two o'clock the Lord Bishop of LONDON took the chair. There were also present the Bishops of Salisbury and Lin coin, Archdeacons Poet and Goddard, the Dean of Carlisle, Drs. , Laskin, Moore, Sheppard, and a numerous body of divines, &c. The Rev. Mr. Tunstsn, the secretary, read the minutes of the last quarterly meeting. The House Surgeon's Report was then read, which stated, that, the health of the boys and girls on the establishment was very good, yet that there had been astral of sickness during the past year, from the g reat prevalence of the measles and hoopitig-cough. fir. \Val - mow, the joint treasurer, robved a vote of thanks to Mr. Leese, the house surgeon, for the unremitted attention given to the children during a year of such unprecedented sickness. The Bishop of LON now thought that a more substantial mode of expressing their sense of Mr. Leese's eiertions should be adopted than a mere vote of thanks; and it was afterwards resolved that it should be referred to the committee to consider what donation 'Mould be made to Mr. Leese iu addition to the ordinary annual payment for his services. The Report of the ouster of the boys' school was nett read ; from which it appeared that there were at preient fifty-two boys educating there, and that three of those would shortly be withdrawn. The Report of the mistress of the girls' school stated, that there were then torty-six girls on the establishment, all of whom wore in good health. Previously to the reeding of the Treasurer's Report, Mr. Watson read a letter from Archdeacon Catubridge Iris Co-Treasurer, ex pressing his regret that an accident (a sprained =de) prevented his attendance.

On Wednesday evening a numerous meeting of the Licensed Victuallers of the Hamlet of Ratcliffe, took plate at the Pitt's Head, Broad-attest, Ratcliffe. Air. FAWCETT In the Chair. The Cna to maw stated that they were assembled for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament for relief , under the numerous grievances to which they were subject. Ile understood it was the intention of the propmers of the resolutions to confine themselves to one subject of their grievances and dia -1 abilities, under the impression that the 31inister would attend to it, amidst the numerous modes of relief which were dealt out to other trades. The malettion of the ditty on licences, an exceedingly op pretence to the Rublic, would be hailed with delight by a very large !only of his Majesty's subjects, and he trusted that they would all co-operate in an appeal to the Legislature to accomplish so desirable an object. lir the vast revenue which Licensed Victuallers brought in, some judgment might be formed from a publication, by Mr. Younger, aho stated that he had himself an opportunity of aver taking the average duty, ad valorem paid on every free-house chafer; and his calculation was, that boverratant got in each in. stance, the som of 111; because it happened in most instances, that a twofold or a threefold interest was taken : the assignment to the purchaser, and the mortgage to the brewer, who sometimes, for the greater security, thought prudent to take a warrant of attorney alao. Mr. CHRISTOPHER stated, that in 1815, the Minister had thought proper to lay the additional duty of nearly 100 per cent. upon the licences for the retail of beer, wine, spirituous limeys, and tobacco; but he pledged him fo s te el i r, at the same time., that the operation of the Act should cease in four years. Three thousand licensed victuallers petitioned the llouse of Commons in due time for the repeal of th! obnoxious Act, but they had been doomed to suffer under it up to the present moment, r.otwithatand mg the various other almost intolerable grievances which they had , so patiently borne. The present 31inister had commenced the Ses. sion of Parliament in a mentt auspicious manner, and there was every reliance to be placed upon his candour and impartiality, two virtues which he would have a full opportunity of exercising on the present subject. Mr. Christopher then moved that a peotion should he sent to Parliament, praying fur a repeal of the additional licence duty. Mr. Jessup, in seconding the motion, observed, that independ ently of the great measure of taxation in their respective licences, the publican was oppressed by hurthens aid disadvantages to which no other clasp of his Majesty's subjects was exposed. The billet , tine of soldiers was one source of annoyance; the vexatious prose cottons arising from the advantage taken by informers of the laws lin forty against them, limned another and a new feature of their distress; and their characters and property were in constant danger. There could not be A more appropriate Witlioll than this to seek a remedy; for the:Minister elicit manifested an anxiety to alleviate the burthens of other classes, naturally would not overlook the suffer , logs of those who perhaps were less querulous and more patient than any. (Applause.) The resolution was carried, and a petition to the dime alluded to was read and unanimously adopted. 3fr. illsenowaida expressed a hope that the old pull, " the long pull, the strong pull, and the pull altogether," would be adopted by the licensed victuallers. Ile trusted that the petition would not be merely laid upon the table. It might as well be quietly laid under the table. Perhaps the reason the licensed vie tuallers were more exposed to rigorous exactions than other people was, because they were so little in die habit of assembling together on public topics. 31r. JEsep r said he had the pleasure to announce, that Mr. Denial, the inwthy 31enthe: for Rochester, of whose good wishes and honourable intentions they had adequate testimony had most kindly offered to present the petition to Parliament. That it would not be a mere nominal bringing up, there could therefore be no doubt. .. . .. . . Here Mr. Bernal's letter to Mr. Jessup, signifying his intention, was read. . . _ --- It was suggested, by one of the meeting, that the Members for Middlesex should be applied to; but a resolution was passed, stat ing that it should be cootided to the care of the lion. Member for Rochester. . Mr. JEssur inured the meeting that he had every reliance upon the active support of the Members for Middlesex, particularly as the question had some allusion to their own interests. Thanks haying been voted to Mr. Bernal, and the necessary matters of form baring been gone through, the meeting separated. MEETING OF THE WOOL AND WOOLLEN CLOTH TRADE. Yesterday s Public Meeting iTthose interested in the Wool and Woollen Cloth Trade, was held at the White Bear Fon Basing hall-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration t he period which should be recommended to the Chaneello: of the Exchequer, as that most proper for making the proposed reduction in the duties on Wool, with the least injury to the general interests of the trade The meeting was very numerously and respectably attended. J. MAITLAND, Esq., was called to the Chair. Mr. Manor opened the business of the meeting, and observed that they were not, he conceived, assembled to consult the interests of any particular class, but that of the Wool and Woollen Cloth' Trade generally (hear, hear.) They were all aware that many dealers had now large stocks of manufactured goods on hand, that some of the most extensive manufacturers had large stocks of duty paid wool on worked op, atsi that dealers and importers had large stocks of wool on hand. All these must be seriously injured by the introduction Into the market of wool whleh had not paid duty, and the question foe the neenting to determine was. how soon, or in what manner the duty could be taken off with the least injury to.the general interests. After the best eonsideratil)n that he had been able to give, and the most extensive information he had obtained upon the subject, it appeared to him, that if 2d. per pound were taken off OD the Sth of Jolly, 9d. per pound on the sth of Octo ber, and Id. per pound in the month of January, the duty would by this course be removed s tiradually. The manufacturers would he enabled to work up their present stocks of wool, and the whole would be accomplished easily, and without giving any severe shock to the market. He therefore intended to submit re solutions to this effect, with others, that letters should be sent round to the different committees of the trade in the country, requesting them to write 'heir opinions on the subject, in order that the combined sent:meat m . ght be submitted to the Chancellor of the Exchequer; that the thanks of the meeting should be given to that Gentleman for reducing the duty, and for the attention he had paid to the general interests of the trade—manufacturers and traders in woollen; and alga that thanks should be given to Thomas Wilson, Esq., the Meudiee . for the City, for his exertion, on the same subject. Mr. Hut:nu, of Basingball-street, 1214 that it was the general opinion amongst those most deeply interested, that it would be most extensively injurious to the general interests to remove the tax immediately. lie &peed to most of what had been said j:iy Mr. Bischoff ; but he was decidedly of opinion, that six months should elapse before the removal of the duties should take place. Ile knew many who had large stocks, which would occupy a long time to work up. Three or four months must elapse before they could be brought into the market. Upon these considerations, he moved as an amendment, that the time to be recommended to the Chan t...nor of the Exchirpicr should be the sth of October, on which the whole duty should be taken off. Mr. lf. BARNET seconded the amendment. Mr. RILCY oppmed it. Nothing, he thought, could be more injurious titan the immediate and abrupt removal of the duties : the consequence must he, that no one would buy either wool or ma nufactured goods, until the period of total removal should arrive all would wait until the market would be paralysed and the loom was at a stand-sta This had been the errect of the sudden reduc tion of the &aim on leather. The large holders might be able to bear the evil ; but what was to become of the r:eavers and work ing men, who must be thrown out of work. As Englishmen and Merchants, they were bound to consider the interests °like labourer, and save hint from menaced starvation. Several Members conceived that the interests of the trade would be more benefited by the appointment of a longer period for the removal of the duties, than that proposed by Mr. Bischoff ; but in the midst of the conversation on thesubject,_. . _ Mr. Ettsenorr put the amendment. The s h ew of hands wu considerably against him, and he called for a division, by which it was found that Mr. Hat:litres proposition for delay till October was carried by a large majority. A long discussioh, of a clamorous description, then took place ; a great number who wrest obliged to vote for tl , e amendment, stated that it would ho tutuagvely injurious- to take off all the duties at once ; and suggested Lgradual diminution, to operate at distant Intervals. Mr. Stivcr.two said. that in the months of June and July scarcely any wool was imported that was to affect the mar ket ; and he proposed. as an amendment on Mr. Hughes's amend ment, that part of the duties should be taken off in Septetuber, and part in December. Mr. lliscuorc said the former amerdment having been carried was conclusive as to the time, and the sleeting were bound by it effectually. Others in the Meeting contended. that, as masters of their own preeeedings, they ware qualified to rescind any resolution they might have pawed. 31r. IHutN ri proposed a merit" of resolutions, nearly the same as those proposed he Mr. Bischoff; but dilliving as to length of time; amt aided, that if they passed, the Chairman should lay them before the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr.SEIVEKING, as an amendment to that part of Mr. Hughes's resolution which declared the opinion of the Meeting that the duty should be taken off at once in October, moved that the time to be recommended to the Chancellor of t h e Exchequer for that purpose altestld be September and December. This proposition was carried, and it was embodied with Mr. Hughes's resolutions, which were ordered to be advertised in the public papas, and circulated throughout the trade in the king , dom. MEETING OF SURREY MAGISTRATES. Yesterday the Adjourned Sessions for the County of Surrey was held at the Sessions !louse, Newington. The lion. :REY BI:5- ; NET presided as Chairman. Besides the County hlembers, a 'very full attendance of the other fientletren in the Commission were present. The object of the meeting was to discuss and settle the rules and regulations for the govemtnent of the county prisons, formed under the restrictions of a recent Act of Parliament for the management of prisons generally. RANDLE JACKSON, in alluding to the time appropriated to the education of the juvenile prisoners, said, it was the desire of the Chaplains of the !loose of Correcsion at Brixton, that a greater discretionary power should be given to the visiting Magistrates, in order that thoseyoutha who were working at the tread-mill for the stipulated number of hours restricted by the regulations, might be taken from their labour, for a certain portion of that time, for the purpose of being educated and instructed in their religious and moral duties. _ _ AD. BRISCOE supported the proposal, and after some conversa firm, it was discovered that by the mks as they stood, this power was alreadi vested in the 3lagistrates. On the subject of the quantum of punishment inflicted indiscri minately by working at the mill, Mr. Horne: Sr'MNEa said, that the report of the Prison Dis cipline Society, lately published, had treated the subject in a very judicious and scientific manner. In allusion to the dietary table established in the prison, the I same Gentleman observed, that he could not help thinking, that in die prisons, u they were now conducted, many of the prisoners re. ceived more comforts and luxuries while in confinement, than while at large. A discussion of some length took place on the Bench, on tbe pro priety or legality of putting persons to a compulsory labour, who were only committed for trial, on which The lion. Garr 111:x xxr obyery ed. that the Secretary of State had coincided with hint that it was contrary to the intentions of the legislature that prisoners should be put to the tread-mill before trial. Mr. 11. SE ItX ER thought that by the impmved mode of disci pline about to be adopted. put!..hment might be apportioned ac cording to the wale of crime. The Court afterwards proceeded with the examination of the other regulations, after which the meeting adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, TIIVIIISDAY, Frs. 26. 'Sittings in Guildhall, hefiiss the Loz:n CHIEF JusTicz and c.om mon Juries.' NOCKLES I'. CROSBY'. This was an action to recover money subscribed by the plaintiff to a Tontine in London, which had failed from want of a sufficient number of subscribers. The only question was, whether the per sons who had subscribed were liable for the expenses incurred for the undertaking. A sum of money, represented to be the balance, was paid into Court. case consisted chiefly of admissions and prospectuses of splendid fortunes and survivorship& Mt. GURNEY pressed for a nonsuit, on the ground that the rery conditions of the scheme placed the money at the absolute disposal of the Directors. Mr. SeanLETT contended, that there was scam before the Jury. There ought to be eight Directors, and there had been only seven. The Directors took no salary, because the project failed. The Loan CH Jl'STict: thought it would be a pity to oc casion a second action upon the question. lie would admit all the evidence, and then the Court would decide the question of law. A verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court. CHAFFrIS v. HALL. Mr. MARRVATT opened this case. It was an action upon a bill of exchange of 2001. drawn upon the " Oriel Copper Corn- Pan_7," wed accepted for that company by Mr. Claughton, M.P. Mr. Buo unlfht 3f Conducted the defence. The Oriel Copper Company existed only in the person of Mr. Claughton. A bill of his in that character was indonod by tba defendant, Mr. Hall. It was not paid when it became due; but another bill of 2001. was given to the plaintiff, which had not the indorsement of the defendant. The only question in the case, as raised by Mr. BROUGHAM, was whether the second bill was a substitution or a collateral security. 11 the former, Mr. Hall could not be liable ; if the latter, he was u%questionably liable. The Learned ('outisel contended that the endow of Mr. Score, the attorney, was not suflicieix to satisfy them that the second bill was only given in security of the first bill. The LORD CHIEF JPST ICE said. the question had been very fairly stated to them by the beamed Counsel, but one fact was de cisive of that question ; that was, that the first bill was left in the possession of the plaintiff when the second bill was given to him. If the second bill had been a substitution, the first bill would at once have been taken up from the plaintiff: Verdict foe plaintiff—Damages, 2171. WILLIAMS MID CO. V.WITTIC The plaintiffs are stationers in London, and brought this action to recover payment of paper and stamps supplied for the Leeds Gazette, whiCh soon afterwards became extinct. The question wail the partnership of the other defendants besides Nudes, who suffered Judgment to go by default. Messes. Poxes:Ka and VriT.DE conducted the plaintiffs' case. Mr. Hays, who had charge of executing orders to the plaintiffs, proved sending stamped papers for the Leeds Gazette in Harem bee, 1819. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLET T.—The order came from Mr. Lowe, a partner in the firm of the plaintiffs, who then tra velled for them. Witness could not say how Mr. Lowe received the orders, Ile knew not George Mudie. Mr. Bnyshaw wu spoken to by Mr. Mudie to report for the Leeds Mere-urn. Mr. Bailley said he would be paid every Thurs day, if he made out his account. Mr. Bailley was applied to by witness about going to the Pontefract Sessions, and was referred to'! Mr. Dixon, who told witness he might go, if 31r. Bailley thought proper. In the Committee witness saw 81r. Mudie, Mr. Bailley, Mr. Dixon, Mr. W. Smith, Mr. Lonedale, Mr. Massey, and Mr. Atkinson. Ile saw Wm. Saynor there; Mudie was editor. He knows Litdewo)d. Littlewood asked witness's candid opinion of the Leeds Gazette, and said he had given MI., but they should have no more front him. By Mr. SCARLETT.—I was first engaged in January, 1820. It was Mr. Mudie engaged nie. Bailley spoke to me about the end of January. The Committee met on Fridays, and I saw the persona I mentioned go in there more than once. It was Mudie's dwelling-house. Mudie carried on the Leeds Indepeadent before this: it was lower down in Brig-gate. I never knew that Mr. Smith had been his book-keeper there,and had accompanied Mudie to the Gazette, when he quarrelled with his partners in the Itt.k. pendent. Smith had been book-keeper of the Intelligence.. saw him at the book of the Independent. I have seen hint at the desk of the Gazette, talking to Beckwith, the book-keeper. Mu. die's house was the place of business, to which persons having business with the paper resorted. The paper lived 22 or 23 weeks. At the end of that period Mudie ran away. Wm. Massey, whom I saw going into the Committee.roont, was a carpenter, and had fitted up the office. I don't think the carpenters had finished their work before February. Mr. Laidlaw knows Bailley, Dixon, Lonsdale, Saynor, W. Smith, G. Smith, Massey, Mrs. Wilde (now Mrs. Massey), and Littlewood. I got subscribers. Bailey told me he was proprietor with Dixon. Lonstlale, W. Smith, Mrs. Wilde, and Massey. They wished witness to take a share. Cross-examined by Mr. Atioessow, for Mrs. Massey (then Nitde).—it was after the paper was commenced that Mrs. Wilde mitt me she had been disappointed of a share in the Gas Com. puny, which h:td turned out very profitably ; and to make up, she had taken a share in the Gazette, which had proved very un fortunate. _ . . George Beadwith, the printer of the Gazette, saw in the Com mittee, Rainey, Lonadale, IV. Smith, 3lasscy, Dixon, and At kinson. Littlewood said he hail paid a little slain. which he wished to have back, as he was afraid it would not aiawcr the purpose of the parties. Croaa-examined by Mr. PAlLlio—The Committee room was the Editor's room. Re-examined.—That signature I believe to be Mr. W. Smith's. Wm. Beckwith, clerk and book-keeper, knew the Conimitiee room, and saw several persons pass through the shop to that room. This witness knew nothing of his own knowledge. Mr. Scan rETT—Ite pleased to say nothing of what you wrote. The Loan Ctttet J t•ST ICE—iie will say no more than he can hcl- tp. Mr. SC AIIILETT-11e says what he knows. The Loan CHIEF Jt: STICE—It is evident he knows more than he chooses to tell. Mr. Ward, the attorney for the defendants, proved the hand. writing of Dixon. Witness appealed to the Court whether he was bound to give mi. defence of what the defendants had communicated to him. Mr. SCAILETT argued that the attorney was privileged. Be knew his Lordship had admitted evidence of this kird more libe rally than his predecessors, yet in this case he wished to be heard in objection. The LOAD CHIEF JEST IC E said he had no doubt at all upon the point. Mr. scarlet' might raise the arg ument as a bill of ex apnoea, or in any other shape lie chase. Communications in the cause were not evidence, but communications previously to the action he would always receive as evidence. Mr. Fscait•Evr took time to cer.sider the shape in which he would raise the question, if it should be found worth while. Witness was applied to in January, 11120, to draw up an agree. meat, by Mualie mid Rainey. They said they did not know the part. ners then. I have the agreement in my pocket. I received it after actions were coutmeneed. Notice to produce was admitted, but Mr. SCAELETT would net puce.

Seri,ant PELL star' the case, and said he hoped it would not occupy much of the time of the Jury, as it was a very plain one. It was an action, as they knew from his Learned I'6,l:lid, en a policy of insurance effected on the ship Anne*, on her pes,ars from Grenada to London. lie would give them the dates of her sailing ; she sailed from Landon to Grenadaon the lOth of Deenn.. her. 102-2, and she arrived at that place on the Ith of January, 1323. She then diselveged her outward• bound cargo, and enterid into various contricts folf homeward frr :gbh She continued moving about moil the 3d of F ebruary, when she wars hint in Grenville Bay. fie would state what he understood to be the law in this case, under the correction of his I,ordithip. her outward voyage terminated oar h er arriv a l at 1;r-enacts ; there could be no doubt therefore, as to the ship. The vessel was lost before took in any of her homeward_ bound freight. lie then referred to the case of N,riek v. Eames. to be found in Camplvirs Reports. vol. 3, to show tha state of the he ss applicable in the present Instance. The Learned Counsel also cited the case of Trescott Tristy, in support of his view of the law. The principle for which he now contended was, that engage. meets having been entered into between certain plantation ownersef the Island of Grenada and the owners of the vessel. to ship gun. lilies of sugar on hoard, end that in con Sequence of the loss of the vessel, the owners sustfining a lass, the underwri'srs were liable. • Mr. John Ilunt, the master of tho Aurora, Was examir. iI to prove the engagements entered into between some planters at (he. nada, with regard to the shipment of sugar; he also deposed to the lova of the ship. _ _ Mr. Sergeant 1 . 6 !taw appeared for the underwriten—li e thought it would partly resolve itself into a question of law. There were two points for their consideration; first, urea the policy on the ship, and next upon the policy on the freight. Ile would take the last point first, as the other side had made it the strongest. With reference to the facts of this use, the Jury would see whether there was a binding contract actually eotertal into for the homeward frright. The expectation of a fright would not do. Lord Ellenborough, in speaking on a policy of insurance on ouch an expectation, said that it was a policy nct only on an expectation, but on an expectation of an expectation. He was ready to admit, that if the freight had been on board, or if there was such a binding contr..ct between the parties as would maintain an action for breach of faith, the underwnters were bound to make the owners of the ship full indemnity ; but there must he such a contract, reciprocally binding, anti one which might be en. forced in A Court of Law, to be re fEcient to make the underwriters responsible. He now came to another point, and it wax a very im portant one. The ship, the Jury would observe, at the tithe she was lost, was not seeking her homeward freight, but proceeding to discharge her outward cargo ; so that she was not in the p ur . suit of any legitimate object under the terms of the policy, which only related to the homeward voyage. Mr. Justice PARK proceeded to observe that Rome points had been raised by the Counsel on both sides, on which he had at pr,. sent no doubt. The authority of lined Ellenborough had been quoted by the Counsel fur the defendant relative to the questi mi o f the de v iat ion of the ship in going from port to pon round the Island of Grenada. The judgment of that Learned Judge, in the case cited, was in opposition to every decision in this Cou.t for the last hundred years. The most important question, therefore, was that of freight. His Lordship could not distinguish between a written and parole contract. It was for the Jury to say whether they believed the Master of the vessel; and if they did, they would give a verdict for the plaintiff. .Mr. Sergeant %MOHAN, before the Jury gave their verdict, informed his bord.hip it Val his intention to tender a bill of es. cemions, on the point of the alleged deviation of the ship, in coasting, from port to port. The Jury, under the direction of his Lordship, gave a verdict for oho plaintiffs-- D amages 1951. . . The Jury accompanied their verdict with an °pinkie that the veslel entered Grenville Bay, not only to discharge part of her outward cargo, but also to take in part of her homeward freight. ills Lordship took a privete note of the Jury's opinion, and aloe a note of Mr. Sergeant l'aughan's objection to the direction of his Lordship. The question which the Counsel were anxious to have settled was, at what Cowan outward voyage terminates, aid when a home ward policy begins to attach. This point will undergo 'aims at. *fluent.

ClLSTl.carrst—Mr. Spring, in his letter, speaks of his wish to avoid " chaffing, and bring matters to a right understandirg " le tween hint and me. To show you, therefore, that tie choSiug is not on ,n. sire, and that / am really anxious to have matters clearly understood, I beg leave to submit the following facia to your judg ment : When I challenged him in Manchester, fur 1001. a-side, he pre- tended to treat my offer with contempt (though he had never, but in one instance, fought for more), and named 3001. as the least stake,--a sum three times greater than any for which he had ever cot.tended. But though he was afterwards shamed into agreeing for 3001. a-side, yet he calculated on my inability to raise so much ; and to prevent my doing so, he and his friend, besides thrown.; other obstacles in my way, contrived to induce the Bendel:An who agreed to put down the whole sum for me, to withdraw his patron age, so that it was with the utmost difficulty I raised the battle money. As to the battle—it is needless to repeat that I have good reason, to complain of the treatment I experienced. Every unprejudiced witness will bear me out in this,and ntyfriewis are so satisfind with my conduct, that they are cad) , to back me against Spring for 5001. on a sla , w, which they think the only way of guaaling against, repetition of unfair treatment. Ant when Spring finds am ' thus supported, he raises his demand to a thousand; on the ground. that I challenged him to tight fur any sum from 3001. to 1.0001. 3ly words wore—that I would fight him for, from 3001. to 3001., or for 1,0001., if I were backed, and I do not deny them; for, if I had 100,0001 I would confidently stake it. But 5001. is a auto between 3001. and 1.0001; and, if I could get backed for 1.0001.. I should rejoice at it, as it would at once do away this excuse of Spring. I think, however, that it will not tell much for his credit if ne cc . tinues to reject the 3001., which 1 row command, and 301. of whias I ant ready to lay down at Belcher s. to make the match, any tin* he thinks proper. I believe nine out of ten, hi the spirting world. will agree that Spring cannot honourably refuse this proposal. were it even only to meet the complaint of foul play, which I am justified in making with rcgard to the former battle. But he has also pledged hunnelt, when he received the champion ship, to imitate the donor's conduct. Then why not redeem huh pledge, or resign the gift ? Ile says that he does not wish to enter the ring again. Thil is mere shuttling. lie ought not to hold a situation for which he has no taste—he cannot, in justice, have the honour without th^ J.:lacer. If he will not fight, then let him resign the cham pionship to one that er ill—m a man who will not want to make a sinecure of the tide, and sill always be ready to fight for a stake of 300 L . . Permit me again to repeat, that I am ready to make a match to fight Spring fur 5001. within lOU miles of London, on a stage similir to the one on which Cribb and 3lolineux fought. Spatting exhibitions 1 cannot attend, till 1 set-to fur my felmd Reynolds on the 17th of March. I ant, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, JOHN LANGAN.
