It was waltiscoted with oak, ave. sue. mounted by a handsome cupola, through which the light is ad. mitted. The distance of the seats allotted. to Counsel from the Basch precludes the use of those conversational tones (In which gentlemen or the bar sometimes indulge) which, from being in. smitele to the greater part of the auditory. would be lost to the world awl posterity, but for the " recording genius" of the re porter, whose practised =catches even the aLitpcon of a south:, moat 14o...tires life to airy nothingness. In future, however, his .. v egoic capacities will not be so exercised. at least to this Court, the trigeuulky of the architect has contrived that the building shill give to the oratory of the bar "an echo to the sense" thing which sill not, we presume, be regretted by the jossi v r branches of the profession. Arriptio ludo, we consider the echo which is so very perceptible in this Court a great disadvan. loge; utilre we could be persuaded that the gentlemen of the s, be i n **awn times wished to rival the celebrity of the ancient Novius, whir^. only excellence consisted In his strength of lungs. tln the whole, it Is a way convenient bondman building, constructed precisely upon the plan of the temporary 'truants in which the Court held its review sittings. 'CASEY .V. DINDIX. r. Baron aiIAU•3I said that he was prepared to give his opi. niuo in this canoe, which stood for judgment that day. Though it *ma o in which I.e was not as conversant as he could wish, and snail 1 hare been harpy had the tattler/evolved on natal his Learned Brothers on the Ueoch, he would, no:withstandieg, supported by by.the general opinior. of the Court, give his own opinion upon b ; ha fr4t himself hampered by the very complicated nature et the earse..and the variety of pleas which hid been set forth in the de. Aeration . • the fast count states that Dibble.. Masai, Alderson, and sobers had entered into partnership ir. the tobacco trade at Bristol, pnci conjoi!,:ly became patties to a deed which was to regulate the cociduc: of the raiment, out of which indenture aro.e ; but that in. ptruwient it was agreed, that if any disputes should arise beiweca the pane's. the suhicrt of difference abosli be reduced to tenting, and retttrecti to arbitration. It also regulated the mode of appoirt ihg the arisitnitont—ont person ahnuld be named by etch disputant, and three two nominees should be allowed to call a third arbitrator; i• wan them provided that the eeti•ion of a thehe arbitrators should be yurele A rule of Cutlet, and.that the patties should well perform all the conditions of the deed. The declaration stated that,ln point of fact. disputes did arise between the patties. and that, in compliance with the conditions of the deed, the subject of dispute was reduced to writing ; that arbitrators were appointed ; that notice had been givr Oto ibbin that the arbitrators were appointed, and that the affair vat to he referred to their decision, as the deed regulated. that.Dibbin owe his consent to this arrangement ; and the Sr. b itra t or' , is sorequenee, went into inquines necessary to saw% to.a s r=aa on the merits of the ease. But Dibbtn, before the time appointed for the verdict i s ibi lus eerrt= on urelA revoke its i decision. v, The . , 1,1 i ~~ ILisrotrata of the eause—that Dibbin by this deed prevented the arbitration from making the award. This was the gist of - the mat. 'This conduct soblected the other party to con. entierable inconvenience, who had in comer:items immortal expenses to in amonnt %prettied in the declaration. .tn swand was, however, matte, and 11132/. given by a verdict of this arbitration to the plaintiff: Another count in the declaration stated that sowe of ttnae disputes were reduced to writing, mai that an award was made on tile 17th March; that the matter was subsequently , taken into Court, and 1,0321. allowed to the plaintill: The defendant netnitketantling, refused to pay the *want, and constituently broke his ctrienant; that was the substance of the declaration. Ills lArdatin then 'aid that the defendant pleaded thitry4ighr dip'. terentylette, and traversed the' entire statement of the declaration. To the greater pert of those pleas the defendant demurred, end in a farther plea to the first count in the declination it was urged that she plaindff would not be entitled to the amount if the award had not been made. Upon this point it was not aecesuiry to say much; the plea ought to contain a clear and distinct proposition, stating a certain specific fact. The Court could not, upon the supposition that the award had not been made, take any view of the case, lie. cause many subjects were involved in that question.. There might hue :'ltheti several accounts between the parties to arrange, and ether matters which were not before the Court. The other pleas might be demurred to without any injury to the cause. His 'lArdship raid that when he considered all the pleas together, he had knowledge of that whiclrreferred to the notice of arbttration. ITpon that point It is stated that the defendant was, st the time that the antic' was oructl,lten miles distant from Bristol, and ill, but he did not say that be was ill in bed ; but he (Baron Grahato did not think that sufficient cause to revoke the award. There was indeed a ease in Haskins, 71, where an award had been art aside, upon the ground that notice of meeting bad not been given. The opinion of Lord Hardwick., however, overruled that decision, for he Raid that notice in such* case was not necessery. The difference be tween the two opinions was—if the party had been informed that the arbitration had an intention to charge them excessively, or refused to bear him or Counsel in defence,. then beyutul all doubt and .question there would have been gond ground for revoking the decision. In this case the party did not attend the meeting. but on the 13th October, the very day on which the deed of reescation was made, the award of arbitration war concluded. He did not consider that there was in this plea apy ground for revo cation. The notice of meeting comprehended as far as the ?itch plea. In the 21ss plea the defendant stated, that at the time of the arbi tration the sum of 1,032/. was not due and payable. That was a bad plea, because it assumed that the award had been made. A plea which denied a sum that hail been awarded was not due was in fact to set aside the award. The 22d was a general plea. Ile was surprised that any pleader could have set forth a plea in that ray. To apply the phrase eon intrgft eonrenlionent to such a case was extraordinary. It would indeed have been very difficult to know what plea of t h irty-right he had broken ; it was a strange in congruity. Upon principle. of reason and common sense such a plea could not be put upon the general issue, because non twit On t.( r fionent applied to several pleas. Vi'ith respect to the award it sell; he did not consider ft valid ; it did not award a certain sum. but what money was at the time in the hands of the cashier of the cepertners. They diould have inquired what money was in the hands of the cashier ? what were the debut of the co-partnership he had to pay ? what debts he had to collect ? And they should also have taken into their consideration the expenses that might have been incurred, had a debtor to the copartners refused payment. it dots not appear how Dibbin got notice of the meeting and how he gave his convent. If lie gave his consent, it was not necessary that it should be given in writing. An objection was taken by the de fendant, because it had been said that he had given his consent in writing, and that the award was made whit that consent. That ob. jeetion was not material, it had no force. The defendant should allow the fourteen detnurrers, and the record would then stand upon the single ground, whether or not the notice given by the plaintiff and accepted by the defendant was a good plea. Mr. Baron 11 t• t.1.001C raid that he did not think that the notice of meetiag could be made a ground of plea. In the case of Aston 1.. George, or George v. Aston, he did not exactly recollect ha* the names stood, where great expenses were incurred, and there were symptoms of partiality, it was decided that all the costs should be paid. In Bury v. Thomson it was held that notice was necessary, bur in this case how was Dibbin to be satisfied ? The COURT decided that the plea on the notice was not valid. DANIEL - 2'. ROW!. Mr. Sergeant SPANlClliroocetikuii rule to show cause against • rule obtained in this cause, to obtain greeter time for the return of the writ of capias ad sati;faciendam : he said that the grounds 1 upon which the rule had been sought was, that the principal in this ease could not be brought up without imminent danger of his life. Various vexatious methods had been already resorted to, to keep the plaintiff out or his money • an attempt hkd been made to change the venue, for the purpose of protracting the time of pay. meet; and if any party In this cense was entitled to indulgence, it was due tolthe plaintiff who had been already greatly incenvenk. enced by the contumacious conduct of the defendant.' The illness of the principal was no reason why theirail should either bring up the principal, or par the amount of the bail.bond. The only diffi culty in the case touched upon this, that it was a legal impossibi lity, and not a moral impossibility, that could excuse the appear. anee of the principal ; this was tn. lair as laid down in the case of Wynn v. Petty, and in Cock v. Bell, Lord Vienhorough held that the appearance of the principal was excusable only on the ground of the party being required to perform n legal impossibility. In • case of lunacy it was decided, that though the party was a lunatic. yet he should be brought up os the grounds that the hail take upon themselves 'the incotianlences that might occur from their becoming bag; for, in fact, by their intervention the plaintiff is debarred of his verdict. Dlr. BEATON Paid that he would not trespass on the Court with many arguments to show that the rule ought to be made absolute ; he would, however, make a dtstinction between the cases cited by i the Learned Sergeant. in the cue of Wynn v. Petty there had been a Kir( fades. The Learned ('amused was proceeding to com ment on the cue of Cock v. Itell, when— Mr. Serjeant S Pas KIE said that was not the case to which he referred. 3lr. Burrow said, that though he felt the greatest reverence for the decision of a Court of LAW, yet as Counsel for his client he felt himself called apon to say, withrthe greatest deference, that the decisions in all those cases wereuitintrary to humanity. Air. Barron II cl.t.ucit said, that the decision would have the effect to make the bail pay the money they had undertaken to pay, in cue there was not an appearance on the part of the prinepal. Mr. BultTON said, that Lord Ellenborough said iti giving his opinion on the case cited by the Learned Seageant, " that it was not stated that • the removal of the principal would endanger his life," by which he clearly intimated that if it had been so stated, such a•etatement (if substyntiatedi would hare operated to a diffe rent decision. Lord Ellenborough added in express terms on that occasion, that if the defendant could not be brought up without risk of his life, it would be a subject for consideration. The object in this case was to corer costa and he admieted that the defendant was liable for them. The LORD CHIEF Banos; said that he recollected a case which occurred in the early part of his life, in which a very eminent mer. chant of the city of London, who by those der.ilentions which un fortunately sometimes occur, had got into difficulties; he was engaged ins suit and was so ill that ho could not appear in Court. The attorney on the othe other side, however, insisted. and the un fortunate gentleman was brought into Court upon a litter. It was then said that there was nothing similar to it except the conduct of S'ryilodr in the 111 ercheut of Vendee. It was, however, the law of the case, The Court dßerred judgment tin to-morrow. The LORD CHIEF Banos then inquired if any of the new trials were ready to bebrought on as the Court was anxious to the ws!e of a few. . . None, however, being in reatliriness, the Court attiourneti about one o'clock. HIGH COURT OF AlAirtal, Tummy', JAW. 31. (Br a rt Lord STOWttL.) SICIL AN PRIZE-MONEY. The Covet, at its sitting, proceeded to give judgment in this curious and complicated case. Lind Sr. OWEI.I. said, that the question upon which he was now called on to decide arose out of t i me cam ure of Genoa, with its de penuenciea, Spezzia, /Cc.. which were taken possession of: by the combined forces of Great Britain and Sicily. anti a very consi derable amount of prize booty fell into the hands of the captors. The particular question arising out of the capture related to the share of Sii Robert Hall, who held a commission as .:11ajor-fie. octal in the Sicilian arm;, and was also a Post Captain in the natal service of Great Britain. It did not diatitictly appear how the transfer of tab R. flairoawsoloso was made. boo it may be prommed it was in accnnianee with the advice, and with the approbation of the Commanding ()Stem Lord W. Bimini.* and Lord Exmouth. it did not appear that Sir U. flail had any particular connexion with the Sicilian army, nor with Sicily itself. Probably this ex. pedition was the first and lest time in which he acted under his Si. cilisu commission. His services as a Sicilian officer must them. fore hare been only occasional and temporary. He was regularly certified as a ltrtgadier-tieneral in the Sicilian service, however, and there could be no doubt as to the validity of his appointment, nor could that be affected by the duration of his service. A great deal of obscurity was Imported into this case by events, and cape. trolly by the death of Sir R. flail. The ex tiedition took place early in tr 4 year 11114. en that when this ease came bcfore the Come, which was not until the last day of the last term, eleven years had elapsed, and all the circumstances culnectrtl %jib the expedition ha.! become matter of divan' history. Many events concurred to e'obatrast the question ; Sir R. Hall was dead. and the light which be cottlit have imported into the case Men lost. flatterer, the Conte was now bound to consider the question as well and eonfroodiettaly as may be. The law made a very scanty pro. tision for the regulation of distribution to allied forces. IP an. cier.t times he knew of no precedent* hearing upon the case. Eng land ass usually obliged to maintain her conquests single banded, but it was by Ito means so in the last war, when almost all the states of Europe rem spinet their common oppressor. and useired Eng. land. There were three Acts relating to die distribution of prize. money mused it: the reign of the late King, and one confirmatory Act in the reign el Ills present Majesty. Besides these' there was an order of Cloned, which bore more particalatly on die prevent ease: It directed that the share of price-money due to-Sieilian Careen should be paid pact so the Alliostor Pleuipmentiary for Sled/, to be distributed in such manner Mod proportion as the Sicilian IlloyernnWnt may direct. Upon this state of the Taw the prevent question Came on, and as wa s bef or e obse r ved , the Chan of pr R. Hall to Ills stare as a - Sicilian General 'termed to be ear. lideedy proved. The amount of his share was paid somewhat prematurelps but not imprudently, to Chelsea Hospital for safety. Chelsea Hospital was the proper depository for the unpaid Owes of British parsl officers, but dira. llall iris a Sicilisu military THE AM PRESS. officer, and though his share was not Improperly paid into Chelsea llostii . al. it was nut het-011114 to the regular course. There was roloorislon that unelainied rucilian prize-money should go to the Hospital. By the Sicilian prize list sit It. Ball was marked as a Sicilian Brigadier-General, and In this character a considerable sum was attributed to him as his prize share. By the ordinary rules of distribotion he was not entitled to claim in both characters, but was allowed to take in his highest rank. The share belonging ' to the inferior station, the duties of which he eould'unt fulfil, was divisible amongst the officers of that class, to whom the right was conveyed by Sir B. Hall's acceptance of the higher station. By an maw, in which all parties scented to sluice, Sir It. Hall applied as a Bri;ish naval officer, and took the share of prize -(Honey attributed to him in that character. He never applied as a Sicilian officer, and by that means came off miens above 500.'. to which he Was entitled in his Sicilian character. This mistake was an honest error, for he accepted less than he had a right to take, but still the feet threw great dilfieultin in the way of the Court. If Sir it. Hall was alive, justice may be done by his receiving the sun. of 1,231 t. deposited in his name, and vying back 71 1 0/. which he had Improperig received as naval officer, to the officers of his class. 'Bit Sir It 11/1 was dead, as well as many of hit brother officers to whom the :gam drawn by him in error properly belonged ; and if the claim of Sir H. Hall was not - destroyed by his taking as a moil officer, the Court was bound to direct the share to be paid over to the Sicilian Bovernment. As to the claim of Sir R. Hall's 'British represetrtathrri, If the sum deposited was Sicilian property, 'the Conti must Order It lobe transmitted to Sicily, and he was igno. rant what regulations prevailed in Sicily with respect to the distri bution &prise money not claimed during the life of the officer. If be was folly irdbemed, however, such knowledge could not apply to the patties Oct now came fors/aril ae personal representatives of Sir It. Ilan. The obligation of the Injunction contained in the Order of Council was Imperative upon the Court, and was as fresh at pre. sent as if it had been applied for at the first opportunity. The Court was now bound to carry that order into execution as strictly as when it was firstlssaed. Time did not affect the present applies. tinn ; but did Sir R. Hall's receiving as a naval officer affect his claim ? As to this it appeared that he was acting in error. Ile should not have enstaidered himaelf, nor should others have consi dered hint, as a British officer, but as a Sicilian militant officer. Ilia description as a British naval officer was evidently incorrect ; and the Court was not at liberty to forget what was right because Sir R, Pall had pursued a wrong course. The Court was bound to consider what the Arts of Parliament and the Order of Council considered Sicilian peoperty. The jurisdiction of the Court began and ended with the Order of Council, and by that order it was imperative upon hint to consider the representative of the Sicilian Government as the proper depository for Sicilian prise -money. The Court may give advice, but its power was confined to advice, anti could only he offered in the shape of a suggestion, tlrit the Plenipotentiary of the Sicilian Go vernment should he applied to, to distribute the money with a li beral view to the erititv cif the claim of Sir 11. Hall's representa, dm. In the commencement of the suit, sonic complaint was made against the officers of Chelsea Hospital, het as that charge was not afterwards alluded to by the Counsel, the Court was bound to con sider it as withdrawn, and that no imputation rested upon that no-' ble establishment, or against the officers whi conducted the affairs of' that institution. Those officers seemed to have acted in com pliance with the orders of their legitimate sovereign, and with a proper respect to the foreign So. , ereign in alliance with England. There were difficulties in this case which naturally created hesita tion, and it was not without much difficulty and many doubts that the Court had rnme to the decision he now pronounced—that 12911. the whole sum marked to Sir It. Hall as Sicilian property, should he paid over to the Plenipotentiary of the Sicilian Govern ment. The Court was occupied during the remainder of the day in the investigation of a chin for wages made by a mariner against the master and owners of a vessel, and resisted by them on the ground that the claimant was frequently intoxicated, anti was therefore in. capable of discharging his dunes. Tile circumstances were in no drgree interesting. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, TUESDAY, J. 31. Samuel Pixley was opposed' at great length by Mr. Pommels, on behalf of several creditor,.

The insolvent was therefore remanded for a period to be heccafter Robert Dennis also, who was beard on his petition in December last, and was finally detected in attempting to defraud his creditors by a pretended bill of sale, received this day the judgment of the Court. which was, that he be confined within the walls of the pri son 15 calendar months trom the date of his petition. POLICE. DI ANSION- HOVSE. Yesterday a youngrnin, of respeetableappearance, begged to take his Lordship's advice with respect to a Joint-Stock Company. His name, he said, was William Batts. He had been clerk to Mr. Cohen, of the Stock Exchange. His complaint was against the Imperial Distillery Company. In the prospectus the intended ca pital was stated as 600,000/. in 1200 shares of fifty pounds each. He purchased 100 shares, on which he paid 5/. per share, and on fire of them he paid 10/. per sham, when he had a hint that the concern was not in a proper condition to have more money advanced. In fact he heard that only about 2300 shares been paid up, and yet the Directors proceeded with the concern. He refused to entrust them with any more of his money, and they consequently declared his shares, on which he had paid 3251. to be forfeited. Now himself and others had taken a legal opinion as to the proceeding, and were of opinion that the Directors were bound to dissolve the concern, and return the deposit. Application had been made to them, but they refused to give any other satisfaction than their words, that the thing would do, and they refused to call a public meeting of the subscribers. Under these circumstances he applied to his Lordship for a summons to bring the Directors, or some of the parties, betore him, to account for the illegal deten. don of the money. The LORD 3lavon—Now, in truth, did you not purchase these shares with a view of selling them ?—The applicant. That would have depended on circumstances. The LORD ill aTon---Yes ; on the circumstance of their getting to a premium. The rpplicant assured his Lordship that it had hears his inten tion to have kept a portion of those on which he paid the deposits. The Loan MAYOR said he saw nothing in the ease which gave him the power to interfere the applicant must proceed by civil action, or by application to the Lord Chancellor. The applicant said it was of no use to spend four or five hun dred pounds more in attempting to get relief at law, when even with the best case it was so uncertain. The Loup MAYOR asked the applicant whether he had ob• Nerved the extraordinary list of bankrupts in the Gazette lost Sa turday The applicant—Yes, I have; and I consider the ruin of a large portinn has been occasioned by speculations like the present. The LORD MAYOR—And $0 do I ; there are few things which have occasioned so much misery as the spirit of gambling and ex cessive speculation introduced by some of these concerns. The young man having been informed th-at no aid whatever could be given to him, in this instance, from the Mansion House, went away, declaring that he would, with some other sufferers, try to call an efficient meeting, and see what could be done In their desperate condition. GUILDHALL. ..... Mr. Moore, of the firm of IViloon, Moore, and Robinson: of Milk -street, silk-manufacturers, appeared to answer the complaint of Sarah Galloway, a weaver, for refusing to make the customary advance of money upon work in the course of manufacture. The complainant stated, that borne months since she had the miatortnne to spoil sixteen yards of Pomona green silk by bringing it from Spitallields to Mr. Aloore's warehouse through a shower of rain, and the piece was thrown upon her hands, on an under standing that the value of it, about 31., should be paid by deduc tions of 7s. Gil. from the wages upon every piece she should snake thereafter. After paying in this manner 11. 2s, CA, finding great delay in obtaining Traumata from the warehouse, she for a time neglected taking out fresh work. In consequence however, of toine• threats used by Messy'. Wilson towards her husband, he sold some furniture, and made a further payment of five shillings, v•liile she went, and offered to liquidate the whole debt by taking out more work, and allowing a deduction to be made from the wages on every piece, at the former rate of 7.. lid. each. Materials torlos yards of double winner, 20 inches wide, for weav ing which she was to mein__ VI. a yard, weep acatirdisg,ly ale /Weed to her, And an sifritifelif 15s. was made, when she had completed the adequate nunrber of yards to have earned that sum; but when she had finished 00 yarth, and applied for a further advance of wages, it was denied, and it Was intimated that when she brought in the whole piece, the U. lid. against her in the books, for damage, would be stopped. Atter having consented to stopping only seven shillings and sixpence at a time, she thought the Magistrate would naafi:re to prevent Messrs. Nl'ileon from driving her to the work-house, by the course they hail announced. She had six children, four of them under seven years of age, who had all been afflicted with the small-pox during the summer ; and what with the badness of the trade, "the extent of their flintily, and their ill fortune, both she and lien husband had long been struggling with the deepest poverty. Last week they Ind been able to übtain only a single 21b. lost amongst them all. Mr. Moore had a notice posted in his warehouse that he advanced half the wages on goods the course of manufacture, yet although it was four weeks since he had advanced the 11.51. and she had now completed work to the amount of 21. 21. he refused to let her have a shilling more when she stated her extreme distress, and did every thing but beg for her earnings upon her knees, It was usual when a piece ran to up. wzrds of a hundred yards to divide it into two, that the operative. might not be distressed by delaying for weeks the final payment of wages ; but Messrs. Wilson insisted that the 105 yards in question should not be so divided, and that the whole should be finished, the wages thereon amounting ton Ma before they would advance any. thing beyond the Iris. 'nit was die unfeeling and oppreasive con duct of which she complained. Mr. Al none, in reply, said that if he had stopped more than the 7s. be). that might have been deemed a breach of agreement of which the Alagiatrate couLl take cognizance ; but until the whole piece was tintalicti,•and the final settlement "cattle to be talked of, the question what should he stopped did not arise. lie. rider lie denied that there was any such agreement between them •and the complainant, or that the taatiee in their warehouse was to the effect She had stated. It was not that they would advance Wardle Wages while the piece was in the loan, but that they would not advance more than the halt She had broken her first agree: ment as to paying for the atrbtled silk, and ft seethed necessary to dal ciaticudy with her. •Notbtos was more comma Wag for the weavers to represent they Lad finished a greater number of yards than they really had. The complainer', obtained the l&s. on the :Ds! of December, on a representation that she had completed 211 yards, but that could scarcely be credited, %then at the expiration of a month she hod only ranched SO yards. itut without entering farther into the merits of the case. he would protest against the power of the Magistrate to call upon him to make loans to his work people on the security of the wars they were earning. It saes a matter which clearly must be left to his discretion. Mr. Alderman Avers:A, atter consulting with his legal adviser, said that when a brother Magistrate granted the summons, strong doubts of his right to interfere were expressed, and he now ad mitted he had no such tight ; but on account of the largeness of the complainant's family, their misfortunes, and their distress, he earnestly recommended her to his conipasiou. Ile did this as a man, not sea Magistrate. After aiserting, and drawing . the Alderman to admit, over and over again, that he lied no jurisdiction ip the matter, Mr. Moore said his recommendation should not be lost upon him, but he would do rather more for the complainant titan their usual rules allowed. Mr. Alderman A T INs asked the complainant why she did not apply to the parish in her distress ?to which she replied the over seers never listened to the complaints of those who had work in their looms. ' _ _ raInN.UALL. Yesterday a poor girl, evidently labauring under mental de rangement, who gave her name //user& Jones, was placed at the bar, in which shoyontinued to pare tip and down completely bewil dered, while a young man named Andrews, the son of a licensed victualler residing in the Borough, made the following statement to the sitting Ma.'istrate. lie said that for some time pant he had been dreadfully annoyed by the unfortunate girl at the bar, who fancied be was her husband, and under the impression, followed him about every where lie went ; in fart, said he, she has been my persecuting spirit, and so strong has the supposition taken pones shin of her mind, that the moment she observes me. either in the house or in the street, she uniformly attracts mobs of persons around me, by claiming me as her husband, and upbraiding me the author of her misfortunes ferrefusing to acknowler:ge her. lie declared most solemnly that he had had no intimacy whatever with the girl, never having seen her in his life until about three weeks ago, when walking along the streets, she addressed him by the name of husband, and when he told her she was mistaken, she resolutely persisted In the assertion, and ultimately collected n crovid of peo ple, to whom she declared that they were husband and wife, and that he (complainant) wanted to get rid of her by disowning her entirely. flee appeal to the mobs that she often col lected frequently rendered his situation peculiarly disagree. able, and morT than once has he hen trested as on object of indignation by those who heard her assertions. She laboured under delusion of mind, he bad no hesitation in saying, and trusted the Msgistrate would adopt such measures as would prevent a re petitioh of such conduct towards him, which, if persisted in, would militate against him seriously. During time young man's statement, the dendant seemed not to take the slightest notice of %that had been sai l, but remained pacing tip and down with that vacaney of countenance indicative of a dis ordered mind. When asked by die Magistrate her residence, she made no reply, apparently unconscious of what was passing around her. it was lvere stated t hat the poor creature had made her escape out of p lunatic asylum in the neighbourhood of Oxford, and ar rived in town without shoe or stocking to her fret. The Magistrate gave orders for inquiry to be made on this point, and oischarged the afflicted girl, who was taken from the office by a female, who promised to protect het until her real situation was ascertained. 3f ARKETS.

Novemb structed o er 1826 n the observations made by Its Majesty's ship L et " , The bearings mentioned in these instructions are all by corr. pass or magnetic— •• Ist. To enter Table flay front the northward, meaning to p ars outside of Robin Island, a ship should keep the tight to theme. ward of south 9 deg. cast, or about south and by east, until si l e nt soundings under 20 fathoms at a little more than a mile from the light-house; she may then steer E.S.E. or K by S. rot to come under 10 or 12 fathoms, until the light bears 11 .5.11', she may then steer fur the anchorage, and may anchor in from seven to six fathoms us soon as the lights are shutting In behind tie Lion's Tail. This track leads about a mile clear Of danger in Green Point, but a ship need not approach it so near if she have, by seeing Robin Island, ascertained by its bearings that she is clear of the Whale Rock, in which case she may round It at a greater distance from Green Point, if desirable, but the soundings in that ease mil not alone be a sure guide. • " 2d. In coming front the S.W. a ship should not get less than forty fathoms before the light bears S.E. or E.S.E., nor less ti.a% twenty fathoms before it bears S. by E., while the preceding d:. melons may be followed. Prom the northward, inside of Bobbin Island, the light should be kept about S.)V. by S. until a ship has passed that island ; in doing which she may have some casts from eight to six fathoms; and when on that course the water deems to eleven or twelve fathoms, she may steer for the a nc h orage by the plan as before directed. I n beating round Green Point a ship should never shoal her water tinder eleven or twelve fathoms until she has brought the light ri bear W.S.W., u before said. In beat. ing between Robbin Island and the Main to enter Table Bay, the soundings may be taken front the island, as it shoals to very raga. larly. In standing towards the Main, it appears prudent to tack at the first cast of the lead after the water shoaiens. 6` In these directions it is.taken for granted that a ship will al. ways keep her leads going. " By day, or when the shores or surf may be seen, or indeed under any circumstances, the plan ought to ba_a sufficient guide. " There are two lights on the light-house, which are in e about S.V. by S. These appear to be of no oth er use than to on as snre the navigator which is the light-house, if he should see other lights. We hare seen the lights clearly off' clerk at sixte en man distance; but the y will not make clearly as:two lights until within six or seven milsa to the westward of them ; and from the northward one light only will appear.
