TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Burt r Ya 4. 1;, SIR, As you like Christmas gambols,- I am tempted to setid you- the annals of this gay neighbourhood. Our Marquis . of HuritLy, who is the adoration of All ranks, assembled a large party by sledges, &c. (at the commencement of the great fall of sow in December), in his famed house of hospitality, Huntly Lodge. Theie they still are, happy themselves, and diffu s ing happiness to all around. - There the ancient feudal . system is, revived, of keeping open house, with oxen, bread; and beer for the Poor, fidlers and pipers to enliven the hall, ' and - hogsheads . of Claret and Madeira drunk from the cask, - by all who share of his hospitable board. - Upon HER MAJ ESTY'S birth-day, the Marquis called out the Volunteers of Huntly, who fired in hohour of , the day, 'and drunk • HER MAJESTY'S health amidst all the pomp of War. In the evening the Marquis gave an elegant ball and supper,- where our gracious QUE EN'S health,was drunk with three tik w es. three.—The dessert as ornatnented with flags, upon which were inscribed- the' toasts to b given—" God bless our KING and his FAMILY ; may 'they .long reign over this land of liberty, blessed and blessing a free and happy people."— !' HER MAJESTY ; may she see many happy -re turns of this day; the brightest ornament cf her sexliapry the man who calls her wife, happy -the child that calls her mother."—ln the middle of the table was a Fame representing the gzd Regiment, with the Colours of that Corps and of the 4zd, with •this inscription"' The gallant gay Marquis of 1-icixTr,y, the orphan's help, the widoqv'sstrry"- - --: " The brave. 423 and 9zd, who have ever distirL. guished themselves for honour, fidelity, and cou rage."- There were many other inscriptions. The Bonny Dutchess joined in the dance with her Son ; and only one regret was felt, that the lovely Lady GEORGIANACOLIid but smile her approbation, hav_ jag been for some" time very unwell. If you like my Letter, I could send you - many ay - scenes that took place during the festivity of this Noble Party, among which were horse-races'6l excellent' sport on the race ground at the old Castle of Huntly, by the MarqUis, Lord ERs O.Ly and Sir fox GORDO:Cy highly entertaining to the - DutcheSs, Lady ERROL, to all the gay Party of The Lodge and die Couritry around. 'Your's, Ati C3~Ex?ER. TO THT EDITOR OF 7 4 HE SUN. SIR, I have seen a Letter in your Paper, stating some of the particulars of a late shipwreck near Holyhead, in which much praise is given to Captain SKINNEk for his-exertions on that occasion, and it is added, that " he was the- only person of the Profession who remained all night with lights upon the rocks." Here is a lurking mischief in this account which' de:. serves to be exposed, as it tends to propagate what is false, by a concealment of truth : let the truth then be told.---Of the four other Commanders of Packets upon this station, who.are thus invidiously exhibited to the public, try...o * were absent on duty ; the + others were present at the period alluded to and it is no detraction from the merit of Captain SKINNER to state, that they were among the first anal the last upon the beach, when the vessel came on shore, and equally aCtive with himself in render ing every assistance in their power. upon an oc_ casion of this nature, I cannot think it right to par_ ricularize individual exertions, from considerations ofdelicacy (which the writer of the letter in ques tion. seems not to hate understood), towards the in dividualohemselves. The whole ship's company was saved ; and those who hazardtd their lives in the attempt, or who, in any degree, contributed to its success, have higher gratification from their own feelings than mere praise can bestow. I am, Sir, A. LOVER OF TRUTH. li;!yhcad, Fe 3. 4, 1802. * CaptaigsGonnAan and Feaxxss, of tile Leicester and 33cshorotigh. 1 - Captains IONES and Sa Aw, of the Uxbridge and Auck. land.

The objed of the 'Mutineers was'to run to Cayenne, and there to sell the ship, and with this view they gave the direc tion of her to the Boatswain, being themselves ig norant of navigation. Seven of the Mutineers, however, fearing they might fall in with a British Ship of War on their passage, some days after took - another boat, and made for the Coast ; but from the surf on the beach, or in the event of their sur mounting it, the savage state of the Inhabitants, there is little probability of their long surviving. The Boatswain and Carpenter, although seeming to aft in concert with the 'Mutineers, resolved to re_ . cover the vessel for the owners, and instead of standing for Cayenne, direded their course towards Barbadoes, which they discovered on the z6th No vember, and falling in with the Borne, of i 6 guns, 'were carried into Carlisle Bay. Copeland the Sur geon, Carr the Gunner, and Lewis the Seaman, "with another Seaman named Eversone, who shot Mr. JELLY, the Second ,Mate, are committed for • trial, and six others of the crew are detained in 'custody to give evidence against them.

TM/ ATTOXNEV-GENERAL moved for a Rule to ;hew cause why information in the nature of a Quo (Varranto should .not be filed against a Gentleman in the City of Litchfield, calling on him to shew by what authority he claims to be a Freeman of that City, upon the same grounds mip a §ihose on which the Court had already granted R • Several other motions•, on the same 'subjeet, were made on similar grountA by another Learned Gen tleman, and Rules were granted to shew causeale next Term. Mr. ERSKINE moved for a Rule to shew 'cause, .why a Warrant of Attorney, given under very par ticular circumstances, should not lie delivered up to be cancelled. It was a Warrant of Attorney given by a Husband to a Trustee, for the purpose of se curing to his wife 601. a,ye:.r, the husband and wife having lived together so unhappily that they agreed to separate, and the • husband allowed the wife that sum for her maintenance. He submitted, that the Court would. entertain this Motion from the analogies of the LaW, although he was not aware of any case that was exa*tly like it. The ground -- on which he moved this, was, That since the Exe, cution of this Warrant of Attorney, the wife lived in open Adultery. This .Warrant of Attorney was giVen as a collateral security for the payment of this, Annuity. This judgment, if contested before the Court, would be a bad one, if entered upon such a Warrant, he contended—and if so, the Warrant it self was a bad one. This Gentleman would have a legal defence to an aftion for the payment of this Annuity, for, most undoubtedly, if the wife lived in Adultery, she forfeited her maintenance. . Upon analogy, therefore, he submitted, that the Warrant of Attorney ought to be delivered up to be cancel led, on the ground, that the wife lived in Adultery. The date of the Annuity-Deed; and also of the Warrant Of Attorney, was the 28th of Jan. t 800. There Was a case in 2 Atkyns, 272, which Mr. ERScINE said, had some Analogy to this. Mr. Justice LAWRENCI!, asked if there was any proof .that this Annuity was to be paid to this • woman only during her continence—was that so ex pressed in the Deed or die Warrant Of Attorney ? Mr. EksiLit:•E said there certainly was not, but ,it was to be presuMed that a man would never grant his wife a licence to Adultery. Mr. Justice GROSE said, that this Warrant of Attorney, in its original Concoction was good ; it was not like a Bond or Warrant of Attorney given upon-usurious considerations ; 4 . 4 were, the Court might entertain the motion.—Where the instrument was originally faulty and bad, the Court would attend to a motion for setting it aside ; but here it wa&aiginally good, and therefore the Court could not set it aside.—Mr. ERSKINE was therefore told he should take nothing for his motion. DUBLIN, FE‘B. 6. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 4,180 z. SIR JOHN FERNS, KNT. V. THE DIRECTORS OE -filE SUN INSURANCE COMPANY. This was an Anion at iris; /rins,,,on a Policy of Insurance, on the Life of the late Thos. Maley, Esq. for r zool. John Heny deposed; that he was in the employ. ment of Sir John Ferns, in August 1800, and - did attend him to the Office of ,the Sun insurance. Coin. pany, to make a Policy on the Life of the late Mr. Whaley ; that when arrived at the Office he. met Mr. Needham, One of the Defendants in this Cause, and a Direaor of the Company ; thew was alsoNr. Campbell, Secretary to 'the Company, to whort.he mentioned his business. Mr. Whaley came there by appointment, to whom Mr. Needham turned in conversation with the freedom of an intimate, and made no inquiry of 'Witness- respeCting his age Witness himself then applied aloud to Wha ley, in the presence of Mr. Needham and Sir John Ferns, what his age Might have been ? He replied, 33 years. they did not insure of that age Witness then went over to the Secretary to insure him at thirty-four years, who, observed to him that he was right, and. that it was, better to be at the safe side ; he was accordingly insured at 34. years. —"Witness saw a printed Form of Insurance at the Office. The Insurance, Witness further deposed, was completed on the day he stated, the i sth of August, but. he did not receive the Policy for many days . succeeding. Witness asked the Secretary, after making the Policy, if there was any thing farther to be done ? Who replied; there was only to pay the premium ; he accordingly paid it, but was told that the' Policy was not ready, but it 'should be sent to his office. After some days had elapsed, and no Policy sent, Witness went for. it to the office of the Insurance Company ; it was there filled for him .by order of the Company, he presumed, Witness having - nothing whatsoever to do with the filling of it. He would not be permitted to take the Policy without signing an averment of : it.— ' [Here the. averment was produced to Witness . , who recognized his signature.] It was then, together with the Policy and Scale of Insurance, deposited with the Court, to be hereafter referred to. The following point was then, by consent, re served for future argument : 66 Whether the In surance of Mr. Whaley's life, at 34. years of age, on the isth of August, he having completed his 34. th year in the preceding February—was such a fraud as to vitiate the Policy ?" Respeting three mouths interest supposed to be due on the principal, the Defendants' Agent said, that should not be disputed if the pitihcip4l was de cided against them, The Jury, without hesitation, found for the Plain tiff 12.001. with sixpence costs. On Friday the body of a seaman was washed on shore under the Hoe, at Plymouth. It was in a dreadful condition, both arms and head being off, and the body much mangled.

On Thursday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a fire broke out in a small tenement occu pied as a line-factory, near the Potter-row Port. — The materials being so combustible, instantaneous ly burst into a blaze, and assumed a very awful ap pearance. The fire-engines, however,, being, soon brought to the spot, succeeded in extinguishing the flames before Much damage was done. While the fire was raging, the inhabitants in the,adjacent te nements removed part of their property. One ar ticle of furniture was brought forth from a house, which excited astonishthent in.all, and terror:not to A few. This was coffin, with a lock and key-on it, which the proprietor got made for himself a long time Ago, and now uses fOr holding small articles. Upon the present occasion it contained a bottle of gin, some old newspapers, pamphlets, BET.—A Gentleman lately betted, that within one hour he would lift too stones, placed in a straight line, at one yard distance each, and depdsit them in a circle round the first. He won the bet by two minutes and a half. The, distance is 5 7 -1 miles. The soth,'7oth, 88th, and tooth, are the fourths of the distance, and nearly corresponded to the quarters o the time, on which account a great many bets were taken. GUILDHALL.—Tuesday a genteel-dressed young man was charged before the Sitting Alderman, on suspicion of being concerned in committing a burglary in the house of Mr. Wanlass, haberdaslwr, in Cripplegate -buildings, rc. street, last week, and stealing bank -notes, cash; lace, and other articles, to the amount of upwards of 3001: After a short hearing, he was committed for .another examination. The great Sir EowARD Eltms E used to say, that " the gout was the Opprobrium Medicoram," in plain English, the disgrace of the Faculty, and Dr. WARD would only admit of temporary relief being obtainable in a confirmed Rheumatism ; but what, could they rise from the dead, would those bright luminaries of the medical world have to say, at the miraculous areas which have arisen from a few doses of Dr. BRODUM'S NERVOUS CORDIAL, which in the most obstinate cases have wrought such Cures, as the Gouty and Rheumatic_ will have cause to blessA,Ahe Inventor for, as logg as the remem brance of health and ease restord, can be. retainable in their miA ?
