The energy and atlivity of the inhabitants of Hawkesbury, in pursuing and apprehending the ill-advised and equally ill-dispnied miscreants who fled towards the mountains in wild and terrible despair, was highly, meritorious and praiseworthy; and the ardour with which they ex erted themselves in .the cause of loyalty, while it affords an indisputable testimony of zeal and at. tachment to a much-loved Monarch. and a happy, envied Constitution, will have much influence in deterring the rash, unprincipled, and deluded, from future efforts of intemperance and folly." ?O?ULATION OF SYDNEY. " From the last Returns made to his Excellency the Governor, of the number of houses and inhabit. ants contained within the tGwnship of Sydney, in cluding the Brick Fields, Cockle Bay, and Farm Cove, there appears : Houses in Sydney, exclusive of the Military Distria, qao Military Distridt, - , I,Co Brick F ields, Cockle Bay, z 8 Total - 676 The whole number of Inhabitants, exclusive of the Military, amounts to 2,100." THE NATIVES. AUGUST To our former accounts respeet. ing the hostile hordes whose conduct has lately . been the subject of attention, we have to add, that among the reaches about Portland Head their ra. vages have been felt with much greater severity than. elsewhere. The farms . of Bingham and Smith were robbed the same day, and their bedding and wearing apparel taken out of the houses ; in that of the latter John Wilkins, a labouring Servant, was wantonly Itreated With detestable barbarity ; after patiently sannitting to be stripped, and with. out even challenging the injustice of the proceeding, a flight of spears were darted at him, most of which the unfortunate man received ; and had he not pre cipitately made towards and plunged into the river, must doubtless haie perished beneath their brutal hands the owner of the farM, however appeared at the critical juncture, armed with a musquet, which, levelling at the savages, induced them to desist from the further persecution of the wounded man, and to consult their own safety by a timely flight. Last Friday se'onight the farms of Crumby and Cuddie, at the South Creek, were totally stripped by a formidable body of Natives, supposed to be about Igo in number, many of whom darted their spears at a labouring servant, who fortunately ef. feded an escape without receiving any wound.— The 'above persons have been thrice plundered in the space of a very few months, and have now not only lost their crops, but their whole stock of poultry, together with their bedding, wearing apparel, and every other moveable. On Thursday last. they re. presented to His Rxc LLENcy the excessive incon. venience under which they laboured, owing to the latter loss, and received such assistance as they stood in immediate need of. " Another groupe made a visit to Tench's River, on the maraud, where getting among the corn of J. Kennedy, without endeavouring to conceal them. selves, they were, speedily discovered gathering in the crop, with unusual activity. The Settler dis. approving their diligence, as it. promised but little advantage to the interests of his own family, in. stantly embraced the means of repelling a visit that had no real claim upon the laws of hospitality, and by a few discharges obliged them to retire with a trifling booty.. We do not hear of any other at. tempts thereabouts ; nor that any Europeans have lost their lives through their spear wounds."

It has been very often said in the Public Papers that our inveterate Enemy (who seems not reluc. tant to adopt any means of distressing this Na. tion, though ever so unjust or atrocious) intends to employ and is provided with a dangerous and diabo. lical Engine of Mischief, in order to destroy our Ships during the attempt of his Desperadoes to in. vade our Coast, which he proposes to accomplish by a certain chemical invention of an unextinguishable Fire, of such force as to consume any sort of combustible matter it touches with astonish ing violence. For this purpose certain chosen men, encouraged by pompous promises, are to be aproint ed to manage this business ; and, during the attack our Ships may make on their invading Flotillas, these devoted champions are to discharge ♦essels filled with this Greek fre on board our Ships, by which means they expert to be able to set them on fire and throw our Seamen into confusion, or to destroy them. It is well known to expert Che. mists that such fire may be obtained by certain combinations ; and also that (although it is called unextinguishable fire) there is an assured and not very difficult method of. extinguishing it. Let our aEting Shipq be severally provided with a cask of water, in which as much pot-ash has been mixed or dissolved as will make it a very strong lye or lixivium ; a quantity of this liquid thrown' upun the voracious fire instantly extinguishes it.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF KlNd's FRIDAY, rES; 22. SITTINGS RSPORE LORD ELI.ENROAOUDI-1 AND A SPECIAL JURY, DAWSON ANA OTHERS 'V. Htsl2. MR. Ettsxtrre stated, that the Plaintiff's were most respeetable persons, Bankers, in Chancery. lane, and brought this aaiun against the Defendant for 9731. due to them from him upon the balance of their accounts, as would appear by the books, settled, as had been thought, to his entire salisfac. Sion ; but some people in this world chased to con. duet themselves in a way that put good nature out of countenance ; so that now and then the best men became sulky, and which disposition they would not shew were ft not for the ingratitude of those who owed them obligations. The Defendant was connetied in marriage with some part of the firm of this House, and they transaded business for him as Bankers. In Juiy, 1803, this Gentleman was con :thus of this balance, for he wrote to one of the partners to this eired: " Dear Sir, money is at this time very scarce !" and desiring the House to turn its attention to a plan for giving him time. He was well acquainted with the stare of the accounts, having had access to the books ; and he understood what he was about, having been formerly in the profession of the law. He had written letters say. ing, he was very much obliged to the house fur riot having pressed him lot the balance ; observing, that he had recovered a verdict of 18001, which would be payable in a few weeks ; and stating some other BMW which were due to him, and which were as good as the Bank of England ; and he never made any kind of objeElion to the balance, wishing only time to discharge. it. After some correspondence, he was pressed to give security for the balance; and which not being given to the satisfadion of the Plaintiffs, this anion was commenced ; upon which he brought the case into the. Court, of Chancery, an honi'urable Court cer. tainly, but in which great expedition was not to be expeeted in the settlement. He filed a Bill against the Plaintiff, praying an itjunflion to stay pro ceedings at law. An answer was put in by them, taking exception to that injuntlion. It was referred to the Master. The answer was reported sufficient; so that he did not proceed to obtain his iojundion. —But now he was about to say, that mow of the money in the Plaintiffs' hands belonging to him had been laid out in the purchaie of Stock Inr time bar. gains, which were illegal ; and, because the Gcn. tleman who was his Broker in these transa(tions was also the Broker fur the Plaintiff,' house, it vitiated the accounts between him and them in every instance wherein such purchases were mad:, for which there was not the slightest colour upon earth. He should prove the balance as claimed entitled his Clients to a verdiet. Charles Liversedge, Cashier of the Plaintiffs' Banking-house, proved, that busines was done with them on behalf of the Defendant through the medium of Mr. Langdale. Mr. Peglar, a Clerk of the Plaintiffs', proved they were in the 4434 of paying the Checks of IN/IGL - few. The balance appeared to be as above stated ; and the correspondence was proVed to haVe taken dace between Mr. Hesse and Mr. Dawson, as stated by Mr.•ERAINE. The SOLICITOR GENERAL (Mr. Gina,), on the part of the Defendant, professed hirt Client's readi ness to refer this matter to any Gentleman to be named by the parties. He observed, that some. thing of this kind had been thought of before. A Gentleman, of the name of Playford, had been ap. pointed by Mr. Hesse to examine the accounts for him ; and the Plaintiffs had said that he should see the books wherein the whole of the accounts were entered. He went accordingly to examine them ; but instead of allowing him to look over the whole of the accounts, they told him that if he would object to any one, or any specified number of the items, he should examine, but that they could not leave the books with him to grs over the whole of the transactions, for that would be endless, since they were entries of many ye,tri, and the transac tions were so numerous. This would not answer the purpose of Mr. Hesse, and so the matter re. mained unsettled. Mr. Hesse had, therefore, no, means of ascertaining the. real state of the accounts, and was under the necessity of availing himself of the advantage of any thing he could. Mr. Langdale was the Broker of Mr. Hesse, he was likewise the Broker of the Banking-house of the Plaintiffs. He transatfted business for Mr. Hesse in the Funds, upon time bargains, to the amount, in all. of half a minim), for which Mr. Langdale had the usual commission. It was also the practice of the houSe to share half of the commission with their Broker ; and these, he submitted, made all the ttansaelions, in which the bargains for time took place, void, as between the Plaintiffs anti Mr. Hesse; inasmuch as that the house of the Plaintiff's, by agree. ment t,ietWeen them and their Broker, had halt the commission on these transactions ; and that, there fore, Mr. Hesse was at liberty to write off these items in the accounts. He Was, howeverotill ing to refer the whole of it. Mr, H. Playford proved, he called on the Plain tiffs for the l urpose of investigating the accounts on behalf Of Mr. Hesse. They told him, as Mr. Gists had stated, that he was welcome to look at any specified number of items ; but that duty could not let him go over the whole of the accounts, as he required, which was for five or six years. Lord ELLENSCIROUGH said, that such a retrosped as this would stagnate the whole business of the house ; and, therefore, it could nut be expedied to be complied with. Mr. Langdale proved, that many transaftions in which he add as Broker for Mr. Hesse were as had been stated; and that his brokerage upon them was also as had been stated ; bus that the Plaintiffs knew nothing of the use to which any money was applied when they issued it to the Defendant—they had nothing to do with the time bargains of the Des fendant. Lord ELLENBOROUGH ob9efved, that, from the nature of business, it was impossible that Bankers could know to what use money WAS to be employed by their customers on their raying it out ; it might as well be contended, that they might be hatipi because 1101 . 140 one of their cu4tomers committtil I fiery, as to say they were an: , wert')le for the use of titarier they paid out. As t the corninisioo which the Bankers might divide wiCi their ;rakers, that was matter of private arrangement, wt-.i.-!t had nu bearing on :my other subjeet. No person keep. ing cash with Bankers was obliged to employ the Broker of the house. It WAS common to do so, perhaps, bat any other Broker might be employed. There was really nothing its this case. He would, however, recommend- to the Plaintiffs to allow all reasonable inSpeetion of the accounts, provided he dismissed his Bill in Chancery. Verdict for the Plaintiffs, Damages 7391. las.

Thomas Board and Elizabeth his wife were tried on an indictment for high treason, %smirch charged them with counterfeiting the correct, coin of the realm. The prisoners resided in a cottage near Ball's Pond, on the road to Highgate. Suspicions having arisen that they were employed in menufa...turing base money, several 4 er‘onS were sent, on the roth of December, from the Police Or.fice in Witriborough• street, to ascertain whether ihe information which had beer tivenwas true. They surrounded the cottage, into which the Pri,oners refused them admittance. The Prisoner, T. Board, pointed a pistol at,them.; but finding ,hat he could not intimidate thethii,..ers, he, a t l ast , fired the pistol in the. air, and surren. d er ed a t di, c retion. On searching the house the Officers found 6o connterteit -sixpences- in an un. finished- state, and a noni!ier completely - prepared for circulation. They alsO found various Materiala and implements necessary for carrying on the bnsl. ness of c;ining. The Court informed t;e Jury, that in cases of high treason. all parties concerned were principals ; the wife, therefore, cotild not have the advantage of an acquittal on' the around of her having an.e.l under tie itiluence• - of the hu4bankl, but was to ba regarded, in every respeCl, as a femme sole.. The Jury found both the Prisoners Gu;ity, but recorn.. mended the woman to mercy. IftiMorn .Sims was indicted f..K a rape on bath Mathews, a child of nine year; of ag ; and S'amue/ Illiichell, for the same offence on Lucy Todd, • a child kinder eleven yeArs of age. The cvi. dence was not, on either of.these . ndietineuts, that which the Law requires to ,constitute the crime charged, and the persons accused. , were of course ac. quitted,—The circumstances which came out in the case of Mitchell indu.:ed the Court to order hint to be detained.

The following preventive has been used and recommended in various instancei,, with the greatest success, in relieving persons when in the worst stages of Typhus Fever, and in reserving the attendants from being at tacktd by the disorder : Put half a pint of vinegar into a tin pot or saucepan, to which add halt an tion,:e of common n i tre . o il l t _ petre), pounded. 113 soffit at it is dissolved, hnld the pot or sattee-pn in the left hand, and *pply a red-hot poker into the vinegar, when the steam or gas arising from the effervescence will destroy the contagion of the disorder, and exhilirate the patient ; it may be frequently repeated until the vinegar has lost its acid quality, when a fresh mixture may he made ; but the above quantity is as rituc:h as need be used in twenty-four hours.
