AFRICAN INSTITUTIO:V. Yesterday Meths commemoration of the 18th anniversary of tlis; Institution ; a very numerous inciting of ladies and gentlemen was mumbles' in the great loons of the Freemasons Tavern. to hear the Reportof the Committee of the past year read, and the Reso lutions that were founded thereupon. Atone o'clock, the Marquis at lAnsdown entered the room, accompanied by Lord Calt.impe, Lord Hervey, Lord Euston, F. Buxton, Esq. Al. P., J. Butter. wer.b, Esq. M.P., W. Smith, Esq. 31. P., D. Sykes, Esq. 31.1'. The Marquis of LaWSnOWN was called to the Chair, who then announced to the Company that theilkhealthof his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester alone prevented his presence at that 3leet log. in the object of which he felt an deep and uneeatinglW in terest. The Noble Marquis said that he derived pride end saris. faction in presiding our so respectable an assembly as was then convened for the noble and benign purpmes of assisting in the total sappression of that odious traffic designated the Slave Trade. (Cheert). Wet LIAM EVARS, Esq. M.P. then mad the Report of the the Ceenmittee, from which the following are CXMIC!... The Report was efeeedingly voluminous and interesting. These importations are chiefly effected under the French and •Portuguese flags; still, however, notwithstanding the risks attend ing it, and the penal inflictions denounced against it, the Spanish ttay Is bond employed in this proscribed traffic, and in proportion to the Rats the desperate audacity of the criminals appears to have increased. They proceed strongly armed, to carry on their work of r pile arid blood cn the coast, and some of them have not been tapthred until after a severe conflict with the British boats, and the lows of lives, by which they have incurred all the guilt of piracy. " Tim records of the mixed commission-courts of Sierra Leone, during the year 1822, exhibit six eases at Spanish ships condemned for slavetrading. In addition to then the Sierra Lame Gazelle spetifist several Spanish slave ships which had been detained by his Majesty's critic's' in lad; anti several more, evidently the tiroPerty of Spaniards, but which were ;protected from capture by the french gag.

" Our Government mode use of these various circumstances as they;oecuatd, lamas upon Portugal, with an earnestness thatdoee dielikhest aredit sto their zeal in the cause, the necessity of a more rigorous enforcement of bee own laws, and of her treaties with this country, but apparently with little effect. Some fresh articles in deed were at length agreed to, similar to those adopted by Spain amt the Netbelands ferenlrgtog the power of cruisers, but these have not yet been ratified. "On the oipazatiod r ßraid from the mother country, Mr. Candi* loot no time its representing to the Portuguese Govern ment, that there meld now remain no pretence for reing entirely to abolish the Slave trade. It had been prolonged by Portugal, only teethe sake of Brael. and it now only remained to prohibit it en*zry ottleethe Portuguese flag to the south, as well as to the r.arth of the line. To this application, however, the most perem. tory *valve was given, and a threat was even held out that if Groh Britain shoed proceed on this principle, Portugal would at ~ace cbovida all her treaties with Great Britain as null and void ; and theneceesity of continuing the traffic was maintained on a ground which mull new had never been urged, or even heard of, , and which was unfounded in point of fact—namely, that the slave trade was required for supplying, not Brazil, but its other African zed A4fatie possessions with labourers. " What conduct may hare been pursued by the Brazilian Go v emu+ mt On this subject does not appear, but undoubtedly that pass. sued by Torte& is calculated to produce the most indignant feel. :me in eery humane and liberal mind. " In the year 1842, it appan that 28,246 slaves were imported into Rio de Janeiro alone from the coast of Attica. The number embarked had been 31,240, 8,484 having died on the passage.

The remonstrances to that Power have been 'Rymer: y and urgently, but unarailingly renewed by Mir Clarks fitunry . MT Minster at Paris. A few extracts (rote these remonstrances, while they prove the vigilance of our Government, andel their Representative at Paris, will afford an instructive view of the manner in which France has fulfilled her engagements. _ _ " Aprif 7, Ifel.—A succession of fresh outragetre;ders it again my duty to observe to your Excellency. that the pledge given to his Brittneic• Majesty by the King of France for the effectual abolition of :he slave trade, remains unredeemed. " The official adviees received by his Britannic Majesty's Go v-rnment from Stem Leone, dated in January, prove that this de. testable traffic still exists in full activity on the African coast, co vered and protected by the Nag of France.

In order to facilitate such treaty, laws have already bees panted in both countries, imposing the punishment of Meant on the slave trade. " It is, indeed, a most gratifying circumstance, as Mt. Canning well observed, • that the two greatest maritime nations in the "mild should so far cow premise tin it notion.il pride, as tc net to gether for the accomplishment of stieb mirpcse ; especially as the realiration of this arrangement would probably not be the ter. minationof its benefits.'" At the Conclusion of the Report, Lord CALTIIOIIIPE UM for the purpose of naming the first , Resolution. He expressed the deepest concern , in which he felt I assured that every one who heard hint participated, in finding front the Report they had just heard read, that the traffic in slaves con. firmed to exist to such a frightful extent, and to be carried on with so much cruelty and oppression ; and more millet-hilly he was grieved to hear that France was the principalearrier of this inhuntaa merchandise. It was afflicting to see a country an abasing and degrading herself; and a matter of deep regret to krmw that such a polished and gallant nation as the French might cross the Atlantic, to learn lessons of justice and humanity. The stigma which the language of the report affixed to that country was, he was sorry to o b serve, warranted by a state ment of the farts which had been brought home to her. It was with concern that he saw the hopes blasted which lie had fro-Ay cherished, of France lending her aid to put down such an abomin able, such a disgraceful pursuit ; but ha trusted that the exertions of this country for the total extinction of that trade, would not be relaxed, and that its influence would be used when; there was the slightest probability of its being Atom's!. The colony of Sierra Leone was a standing reproach to ail those who persevered in this traffic, se it plainly shewcd what might be made of Africa, if pro per engines were employed to work with. The Noble Lord then concluded with paying thigh tribute to di.: character of fir C. Macarthy, whom he said he gready feared was lost to the progress of this great achievement, except by his example. Lord HERVEY sec wded the Resolution. He feared that be bad obtruded himself on the company without ,onmessing sufficient in formation on the subject to render what he had to say of any value to them, or if he haa possessed the infoneation, he lacked ability to do justice to it. Ile could hardly feel himself justified, after heating the statements contained in the report, in anticipating ' such a speedy regenerating of the morals of the Continental Powers, ea would induce theta to join heartily with us in sup , ran ,rag this inhuman, this monstrous trade; yet it was our duty to continue our efforts to implore them to come forward in the Yin. dication of the right! of mankind, and in support of the laws of God. The day had not long gone by—vet he thanked God that it I had gone by, when this country was equally criminal with others, in participating in such a traffic. The contrast that the present scene exhibited, supported him in his hopes that other countries might he brought rotund by our example. Ns. D.Sra es,EN.M.P. moved the second Resolution. lie said that it was the crown of glory of that Administration of which the Noble ' Chairman formed so eonspicuoun snot:lament. to pot an end to the ' deer trade in this country. His Noble Friends who had preset Mail him had meat eloquently enlarged on all the topicia on which he lad intended to address the assembly. The Honourable Geode- man then briefly adverted aci the conduct of France on this guys- lion, and of the little reliance that could be placed on any promises' of support which she might give far the extermination of the slave trade, and saying that Gallic and Panic faith might hence ' forward contend foe the palm of priority. I I • sear seconded the Resolution. He said, that he had been soddenly called on to address the meeting, and he could not refuse it, is his silence would not hate manifested the deep feelings of interat with which he watched the success of the Society. if it I were not for the existence of the Society, England, and consequently Europe, would be in tenon:lce of tit: cruelties and persecutions that desolated the unfortunate country of the poor African.— ' (Applause.) ' 31r. J. J. Grower (a member of the Society of Friends) moved the third Resolutioc, observing, that it was with no small MlL deice and uneasiness that he put himself forward, in the absence of others who would bare advocated so much better the cause of the ' Africans. The company had heard that the two greatest maritime Powers in the world had united their (Obit* to suppress the slave trade ; and it Wei a noble example to see such countries, sacrificing all petty jealousies, to effect • deed inseparably connected with thug benefit of the world at large. It was dis:reasing to our moral feel , . Ingo to see their Catholic and moat Christian Majesties pot to shame by the Iman of :Hewn sand the King of 3lndsgascai. (Laughter.). 53r R. 11. Iwo 1.13 seconded the Reralution. Ile stated that die country had nut yet learned the origin cf the Asbantee war. it had I orientated in the endeavoure . of people, un the territory of the King i lof the Ashantees, to cont inue the slave trade, representing to him, that so long as the gnglish remained on his coast there would be no security for his trade. Lord Lawsoowie said, that as this was the last Resolution which be could have the tumour of proposing m then, on amours of his public avocations requiring his presence elswbere, lip would beg leave to say a few words. lie remarked, that the next im portant step lo the abolition of the slave trade wan, the deelaration, of such a trade being made equivalent to an act of piracy; as, he conunded, that those who carried it on forfeited all claim to gib rights of trim, and therefore they ought to be separated from them. ' Ile had heard with great smisfaction, of the accomplOitment of their object, and he believed %hat this country would have promitl. gutted such a declaration long ago, if it could have secured the co , operation of any other country ; this had now been done, sad he hoped that it would be the means of extinguishing for ever the seeds of dissension, as the two countries were united by it commu nity of religion, a community of language, and a community of civilization. He had permitted himself to say much, as a balance against the gloomy objects which the meeting had heard. He can. eluded, by lamenting the absence of air. Mabel-fame, and the causes that peoduced it, and announcing to the meeting that a Gen tleman of Me name of Hoar had sent a donation of lOU The Noble Marquis then quitted the room, amidst the applauses of the assembly. Lord GAMNIEI was then called to the Chair, and shortly ad dressed the meeting. Mr. F. BUXTON moved the fourth Resolution, in a speech of sonic length, and with great fent oTiargument. Ile drew a very humourons contrast between Memeduet of the Kings of France , 1 Spain, and Portugal, the Ida of Madagascar. It appeared, that the latter Monarch had to the suppression of the slap , in his dominions, on eon Won of being furnished, fbr himself;', with a full dress coat with epaulettes, a cocked hat, and boots with I tassels, and that 400 of his subject' should be lorovided with troweers. The eastern dlouazeh adhered religiously to the terms of his treaty. The Rev. C. Cr If NC TIAN swonded the Resolution. The Hon. B.

Yesterday evening, at six o'clock, a numerous and highly re siiectable meeting ofthe members and friends of the above Society was held at the City of London Tavern ; Thomas Walker, Esq. r the Treasurer to the Society, was unanimously called to the Chair. The CHAISIVAN, in an eloquent and impressive speech, ex. plained to the meeting the nature and objects of the Society, and requested their attention to the Report of the Committee, which the Secretary would read to them. The SECRETARY then read the Report, which contained many , statements highly gratifying to the friends of the Society. The Rey. Joh x LEITCHILD then addressed the meeting, and took a very comprehensive view of the present unfortunate state of the sister country, end which he mainly attributed to the gross ig norance that perrndel the lower class of her population. To re more that ignorance, and to enlighten their minds by instructing them in the principles of the Christian Religion, was the grand object of that inati.ution. He then alluded to the great and meritorious ex-, ertinta made by the missionaries and ministers to effect that desirable objeet—exertwr.s for which Jhey well deserved the thanks of the community. He then alluded to the late Missionary at Demerara, Mr. Smith, whose vuKrings, he said, were unparalleled, and whose afflicted widow wu then siting by his side. rile Rev. Gentleman concluded a most impressive sputh, by . moving, that the Report just read be adopted and ordered to be printed. Mr. RING, of Reading, seconded the motion, and presented the , Chairman 4411. which he had received from the inhabitants of that place. The Rev. Dr. WATCH then rose, and, in as eloquent speech, callvtl upon the Meeting not to relax in the exertions they had made for the benefit of Ireland. He considered it of the highest import , ance to instruct the peasantry of that unhappy country. Their welfare was.a subject that demanded the serious attention of Eng lishmen. Ile meant no reflection on the Peerage of England, but he agreed in the opinion expressed by a celebrated poet, that -1 " Prince' and Pens may loutish or may fade, A breath can make them as a breath has made; lint a bold peasantry. their country's pride, When once destroyed can never be supplied." He concluded by moving a resolution expressive of the great satis faction the Meeting tenet the increasing prosperity of the Society. R. STEVEN. Esq. seconded the motion. Several other gentlemen afterwards addressed the Assembly, and, after passing a rote of thanks to the Chairman, the Ilecting 1 separated. A handsome collection was made at the doors. THE INSURRECTION ACT.—The Dublin Freeman's Journal of Friday contains the following paragraph:— " The Gazelle of last night contains a Proclamation by the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council, declaring tbe Ba ronies of Galmoy, Cranagh, Gownn, Faaaadining, Shil lelogher, and Ida, in the County of Kilkenny, to be in a state of disturbance, or in immediate danger of becom ing so,' and warning the inhabitants of the said baronies, that they, each and every of them, be and remain within their houses at all hours between sun-set and sun-rise, from lend alter Thursday the Gth day of !day next, under the penalties by law established.' " The Spanish General Torrijos, and his Lady, have ar rived in London. This young and gallant General was the last who capitulated with the Fl•ench in the city of Cartkagena. From Spain he went tg France, confiding in the Convention approved of by the Duke d'Angouleme. He passed through France, but found himself obliged to Inve the country, in consequence of that Government not fulfilling all the articles of that Cenvention with him, notwithstanding the strong representations he had made. THE MILITARY AND :1 - 44 VAL BIBLE SOCIETY This Society celebrated Its forty-fourth Anoircrsary yesterday, at the New Argyll Rooms, Regentatmet. The company present was eery nurnetous, and of the first respectability. Among the more distinguished we noticed Admiral Lord Ganibier, the Earl of linden , heed ley, Lord Rocksavage, Major-Gen. Hall, Major Phipps, Cope terarelin, R.N., besides many other military and naval officers. The Karl of Konen Wing bees called to the Chair, proceeded to the business of the day, by requesting Major Close to read the Report of the Committee, who, previous is doing so, read lett ers from the Archhiehop of Y or k. the Duke of Wellington, Lord Ilaerowle Lord Crithorpe, Lord Exmouth, and one or two other noble in dividuals, expressing their regret at being, from variou s causes, prevented from attending the Meeting, and containing assurances froth seen all of the deep interest they felt towards the Society. The Mason lien read the Report, which entered into a variety of details relative to the operations of the Society during the past year. It appeared (kat in the Ina; three years no lest than 11000 co. pies of the Bible had been distributed among the soldiers and sai lors, and 1,10001. subscribed by them, more than had been distri buted and subscribed during the last three yeah of the war. The Society's funds were howeveyeenseleribly in array, being upwards of. 6001. in debt, notwithstanding the Committee had, since the last annual meeting, paid off a snot equal to that in amount. Upwards of 4234 Bibles hail been distributed in the year then just ended, considerable portion of which had been sent to !nein, particularly among those men who were in the service of the East India Com. pany. The total receipts ot the present year were 2277?. 7s. 9i1., exceeding these of the last by which the Committee attri buted to the inc.-retard number of annual stthecribers. Favourable amounts were given of the new auxiliary branches of the Society established at Deptford and Woolwich, and similar accounts were. also received feint the several other auxiliaries. At Dublin, R la dies' Association had been formed, under the patrot.age of lady Norton. The Portsmouth Auxiliary had distributed 1107 Bibles in the past year, more than 700 of which were disposed of among the seamen at that port. The Committee expressed their thanks to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had kindly signed a request to the Henn:treble East India Company for pecuniary assistance to aid the distribution of copies of the Scriptures in the East, and they were happy to acknowledge the receipt of 1001. from that llononrable Company. The Committee had, since the last annual meeting, found it expedient to remove from Jenny*. street to a house suitably fitted up, at the expense of about 001., in Sackville-street, where they considered additional convenience would be obtained for the purposes of conducting the business of the Society. lord GA7.1131E11 rose to mote the resolution that the Report then read be approved and printed. His Lordship said, that deeply impressed with the importance of that Society, and earnestly wish ing it every passible success, he readily accepted the call made on hint, only regretting that it hail not fallen o. some more able per son ; but the report was so truly satisfactory that it required no ar gement from bito to recommend it to the acceptance of the meeting. May our brave soldiers and sailors ever continue to receive the in calculable and unfailing benefits which the books that Society sought to distribute 'intone them was calculated to confer. Lord Renegy seconded the resolution. His Lordship remark ed, that one peculiarly interesting feature presented by that Society was the early period df its institution—early. he meant, in reference with those other encellent societies which bad lately been insti tuted in that , metropolis, It was iustituted 24 years before any a . ..et society 'ref a similar kind, and had therefore done much im pamnt good to the world, especially to this country,' by stepping forward as an example to all classes of Christians, and exciting in them an emulation which had resulted in the formation of other societies, whose objects were the same—that of promoting, by the diffusion of the Word of Cud, the temporal and eternal happiness of mankind. It was highly gratifying to consider the great bone. tits that would be derived by teaching our soldiers and sailor , the Christian rules of conduct ; which form the very basis of all the social and relative duties. What order and di-cipline might we not expect from a course of Christian regulation ! Lord Roes ssveur. moved the second resolution. Tim Rev. W. Cueoloon tat seconded it. Ile observed, that it must always be peculiarly gratifying to those gallant leaders, whose hearts ever felt and submitted to the omnipotent power of Almighty God, to know that in the day of conflict they were marching to the battle field with men whose lives Sad made them fit, and whose faith had made them willing to die and meet their God. The Rev. Gentlemen then adverted to the univeral and non. exclusive system pursued by the Society, which circumstance, he said, made him with the greater readiness advocate the Institution. • Major-General lists. moved the ad Resolution; and in allu sion to the effects of the Bible on the minds of soldiers and sailors, he observed that it was said of Alexander of Macedon, that he was so attached to Homer, that he kept it in his hand by day, and under his pillow by night. They might well imaerthe that the poet inspired hint with martial ardour, checked every rising doubt, and braced and invigorated his energies to those deeds of valour which had come down to us as the immortal records of his tame. And was there not qn equal power in the Bible ? Could not . our sol diers and sailors be made familiar with the important truths con ' mined in that Sacred Volume; and were not those truths capable of instilling into their hearts a martial and a Christian courage, that should render them Alexanders in the fight, and more than Alexander, in the dying hour? Major linters seconded the resolution. He said it was very deliOtfal, after a lapse of 24 yeses, during which time his duties had kept him at India, to return home and find so many of his brother Officers, employed in distributing that Holy Book among their fellow-soldiers and seamen, which would lead them to the Clod of their salvation. In India the Ministers of the Gospel were unhappily few in number t British Officers were Mu:needled upon to discharge that sacred duty. lie had ever felt it a great plea sure, week after week, and month after month, in reading to the soldiers, on the Sabbath day, portions of that book which they were then engaged in distribening. &vent other resolutions were moved and seconded by the fol lowing gentlemen : Captain Passinger, R.N., the Rev. Hugh hl'Neale, Captain Franklin, who said, that during Ins voyage nothing had contributed to support hint and his men under the privations they had inevitably tb endure so meth as the Holy Bible, the perusal of , which malt the absence of every comfort to be unfelt, and held them onward in their solitary course, full of hope and contented resignetioa. The Rev. H. Bidding, front Nova Scotia, the Rev. J. Wiuchild, Captain Pell, al.;se, the Rev. Mr. Thomas, the Rev. Joseph Parsons, Chaplain off s he East India Service, and Captain The two latter gentlemen having moved and seconded the thanks of the meeting to the Noble Earl in the chair, His lordship declared it to be his noblest privilege and greatest honour to be 'Wowed to hive an opportunity of expressing his opinion of the great utility of disseminating the H std or God w itho u t eon or comment. When he looked back to a Society of a similar nature to the one they were then celebrating, which had been held in Dublin four years ago, at which place he had taken the liberty to recommend the present. Society, as one worthy of support, he little thought then what the value of that institution was, and what his experience had since that time found it to be. Ilia Lordship then adverted to the religious state of Ireland, and expressed his thankfulness for the good feeling shewn by the seve ral British Societies towards his own countrymen ; and at the con- 1 elusion, he appealed to the company to give their utmost aid to the funds of the Societe and exhorted them all to offer up their prayers for God's Spirit to accompany the books which they con tributed to send forth among the poor soldiers and sailors of their country. The meeting then ce.journed. ALGIERS. Active preparatiors are making for reinforcing mt. naval force off Algal". The Infernal bomb, Captain Barclay, is preparing at Depitord with the utmost despatch. to follow the Terror, widen has proceeded to the rendezvous at Gibraltar. The former vessel, it is supposed, wdl be ready fur sea in less than three weeks. Three oilier vessels of this . description are also equipping (sup posed for the above destination), therefore it appears more than probable the attack on Algiers will ultimately take place, provided our proposals ate not acceded to by the I)ey. Letters of a late date from Algiers state, that the harbour is still under the strictest blockade, and that the city has been aban. doned by the merchants, but whether from apprehensions of a bombardment, or in order to be prepared for it by filling the town with troops, stints doubtful. THE 841.4Z11.3. I,tters rcreivra vegterday frotn Rio de Janeiro, state that the affairs in the Brazils aasumea serious aspect. Several of the letters state the arrival of FrenCh vessels, but attach no importance to the circumstance ; others we have befcre us which give a very zliff, ri of account of the anticipations of the writers ; the principal events are, the accumulation of the seven French vest is of war, the ex pectation of two line-of-battle ships ; the circumstance of the Portuguese forces at Monte Video (which were shipped and expected to rroceed immediately to Europe) being de tained, with an understanding that they were destined to Rio Janeiro.

Porkies. to-morrow, if their Lordships pleased. The LORD CHILE JUSTICE said they might be able to out: 3lr. Parkins said he would be content to have any time fixed which their Lordships might think convenient.

Mr. Sergeant TADDY obtained a rile to slim cause why the err. diet for the defendant should not be set a.idc, and a trw trial granted. The case had been tried at Kingston, befiire th late Lord Chief Itaron. It was an ejectment. The prenhrty was a valuable cottage in Epsom Green. 1.0• D lIAGOT V. WILLIAM). Mr. TAUNTON moved that the verdict for the plaintiff in this use for 441. should be expunged, and • verdict entered for 937/. The defendant had been under steward to Lord Begot,. and had in that character received large sums of money In payment of timbre, and Mite goods sold. Au action hail been brought previously at the A Seine for Denbigh for 4,01101., fur wbicn the phut:tuff hal ob tained judgment. The receipts of that amount were prime' by Mr. Turner, who had been auititor to his Lordship Anothe r action was again brought before Mr. Baron Darrow. for a further sum of !117!. Of this sum only 46/. had been unknown to m r . Turner when the action for 4.0001. had been brought. Mr. Boro o (farrow held that the plaintiff was precluded from recorerit 0r.% than 4,000/. of money known to be due when the action fcr that amount had been brought, and therefore directed the verdict to be entered only tor the 461., with leave to more for entering the re. diet for the larger sum, which was fully proved to be due. Re (Mr. Taunton) contended that it was competent to bring a separate action, if the plaintiff chose, for every separate reenpt. A re. ference of all matters had been proposed, but the decedent had been in such a state of mind, and still continued so, that he could DOI give his assent. The Loan CM Il? r• JUSTICR—Take a rule to show cause. I feel great doubts in my own mird as to the result. Mr. Justice BAYLET—There is a writ of error in the Cat of the 4,0001. r. TAV TON said there was. Mr. Justice HA Y LEY—If that judgment should be eet aside, the larger sum may then be recovered in this case. Rule granted. LORD ESSEX V. COMBE. Mr. ADOLPH vs obtained a rule to allow cause in this case wi:y the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside. The trespass was drawing a wood belonging to the plaintiff But it was con tended that the defendant had license, in evidence of which several letters had been read. The Lord Chief Baron, however, had left it to the Jury as only a question of damages. The Loan Carta JUSTICE—ReaIIy if the Lord Chief Baron had only left the damages to the Jury, it would be strong ground for the rule. Mr. ADO Lett us—lt is distinctly so stated in a note by a Learned Friend of mine, for my attention wes very much divided, there being at the same time a very famous (Conolly's) trial for man slaughter. Rule granted. WEBSTER V. Me. BROUGH•11 moved for a (NW trial in this cam, in which the plaintiff had got a verdict. It was an action on a patent ob tained by the plaintiff for an impmveincnt on the famous percussion lock invented by the Rev. Mr. Forsyth. The defendant was the owner of the shop under the firm of Forsyth and Co. at the corner of Leicester-square. The defence was, that the defendant Faddism vexed the improvement before the plaintiff, and that there was so novelty in it to suppol a patent. kor the latter part of the defence the testimony of Mr. Alexander Galloway was mainly relied on. The LORD CHIET JUSTICE said, that he remembered that there had been a tray strong argamtaium ad hominess aganst the defendant, who had issued circular cards, celebrating the import an!e of the invention. Mr. Boot:Guam said he had afterwards formed a diffirent opinion. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said he only remarked that it Ira a smog argument of th a t species. But what you boasted of so highly at one period you cannot now so successfully represent to have no novelty or importan ce . I t hi n k i t i s very likely that that weighed very much with the Jury. klr. Baou•HASS—In our hands it would have been new. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.--Not according to Mr. Gallo. way's evidence; but what is old in my bandit may be new in yours. You may take a rule to show cum, but it is a very small BROUGUAIR—your Lordship said to the Jury it was the smallest matter you ewer saw come into Court. The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE—It is very likely I may have said so. Mr. BROUGHAM—The Vice-Cbaneellor described it as "no matter at all." (A laugh.) Rule granted. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, TUESDAY, MAY 11. THE ELIZA ANN. ....... Sir C. Rontweow stated this to be an appeal from a decision of the Vice-Admiralty Court of Jamaica From the evidence it ap peared theta quantity of corn and flour had been conveyed on board an American vessel from Virginia to the Island of Cuba, and from thence shipped on hoard the Eliza Ann, which was a British vessel and manned by English seamen, and conveyed to, and landed, and sold at Falmouth in Jamaica . The MMUS of the American vessel, Capt. Lowe, left his own vessel in port at Cuba, and sailed on board the Eliza Ann as supereargo, and it was front this circumstance that a presumption was raised that the property in the corn had acre, been transferred, but that it remained at the time of its being sold in Jamaica, the bola Ale _property of an American subject. It also appeared that 31r. Lowe, while in Cube. bad expressed his regret that be could not take Ins corn to Jamaica, as he could there obtain a better price for it. On this evidence the Vice-Admiralty Court in Jamaica condemned the gins Ann. under a clause in the 28th of George 111. cap. 6., which prohibits American corn from being brought into any of our West India Islands, unless the same be the prepare' of British subjects, and in British vessels manned with British seamen. Against this decision it was contended, that the cargo had been purchased by Wright and Shelton, who are English merchants, te. siding in the Island of Cuba, and that the shipment. thyme had been made by that firm. It was also contended, that even sup.. posing the corn to be the property of an American subject, the ap pellants were protected by the aath of George 111., which modifies the 28th of George 111., and allows the importation of corn s &e. from either the I tilted States or any of the foreign West India Colonise to any of our possessions in the %Vest Indies, if in British vessels properly manned, without requiring the same to be the property of British subjects. Ilia Majesty's Advocate, after thus stating *ease, proceeded to argue in support of the condemnation. Ile contended, from the whole circumstances of the case, that no doubt could mitt, lint that the corn remained the property of an American ; and, that as to the supposed protection afforded by the With of George 111., it could not apply in this case, inasmuch that the torn had not been conveyed the whole distance from America in a British vow+ Dr. JxxllEll followed on the same side. Dr. 1:11.71111)7GT0).:47111 behalf Wtii; — aensilts, denied that it was necessary by the Sikh of George 111., m t the com should be imported the entire distance in a British weasel. Judgment was deferred till the next Court day. SALE BY AUCTION. ASHTEAD LODGE. MOST DESIRABLE COMPACT FAMILY RESIDENCE. with Offices, excellent Gardens, Paddocks, ace. Ashuad, near Epsom, Surrey.
