PAras JULY. 19.---The. Austrian Observer gives extracts. from the journals of Corfu and Greece, in which we find the, following facts:—The Turks of Asia had attempted to make a landing on Samos, but Miaulis having appeared in time with the Helas, the corvette, and other vessels, the Turks were repulsed with loss, and left 1,500 men in the hands of ,the Samiots. The Greek corvette suffered so severely On the occasion, that ' it sunk, but the crew were saved. The Greeks 'have attacked the Turks in Athens; they have succeeded in making themselves Masters of the town, but the fire of the batteries of . the Acropolis obliged them to evacuate it. How ever, they still blockade it Closely. The Turks in the Acropolis deSert in such great numbeis, that it haS been necessary to male R lazaretto in the Greek camp. The President Car d'lstrias, and his brother, ac companied r tricOupi and Nivrocordato, had, on the7th*Jime, a 'coigererti: with 'the Greek Bishops sera by the Porte • It seems, that the attempts of General Church against Anatolico and Misseloughi having failed,,he had fallen back to Dragomestre. To facilitate the operation's of the Greeks against the Turks in Attica, and particularly in the Acropolis, the President has extended the blockade of the coast to the Gulf of Vole, including Negropont. The blockade compre hends a tract of 20 miles on the coast. Private letters received this. morning at Paris an nounce, that 4000 men of the Constitutional army, pursued by the Royalists, having thrown themselves into Gallicia, the Spanish Government, after hav ing made them lay down their arms, had, with a ge nerosity very uncommon, granted them a month's pay and provisions, letting them know that they might wait for the decision of the Portuguese Go vernment respecting their fate.

An account of the-expenses of cleansing Chatham harbour since 1814 was presented' at the bar. The Duke of WELLINGTON preSented a peti tion from the Chamber of Commerce, Manchester, against the Bankrupt Laws' COnsolidatiOn Bill. The Turnpike Acts Bill, the Military Pensions Bill, and the Savings' Banks Bill, were read the third time and passed; the Composition (Ireland) Bill, the Slave Trade Bill, and the Deserted Children in Ireland Bill, went through, a Committee; and the Benefices' Regulation Bill, the National Debt Bill, the Butter Trade (Ireland) Bill, and the Appropria tion Bill; were read the second time. CUSTOMS' REGULATION BILL. The Earl ofSHAFTESBURY moved the third reading of the 'Customs' Regulation Bill. Lord GODERICU wished to make a .few ob servations' upon one of the clauses of•the Bill. The clause to which he referred was that which continued" to next year the present rate of duty on the importa tion of silk goods from the East Indies. That rate Of duty would . have expired; by the precept .On the. 10th of October next, and on the expiration of that duty, silk goOds from . the East Indies were to be charged an ad valorem duty of 30 per cent. The objection he had to the clauie was, that the duty to be charged under it would turn out to be consider ably more in its operation upon the article than 30 per cent, which was considered the maximum of duty which silk goods could pay without creating a great chance of smuggling. By the present law this ad vct lorem duty of 30 per cent. would commence to be charged on the 10th of October next, and individuals Concerned in the trade with the East Indies had made arrangements for the importation of silk goods, upon the assumption that they would have to pay no higher rate of duty than 20 per cent. ; whereas, by the clause he had adverted to, the duty would be between 40 and 60 per cent., a duty much too high ror the article to bear; and which would lead to illicit importation, and would operate disadvantageously to those individuals whose orders had *been sent out upon the understanding that they yvere to pay a duty of 30 per cent., but whose goods would now be .sub jected to the increased duty by the pperatiOn of that clause. He objected to the clause, also, because there existed no real necessity for it. The-appre hensions which had been felt on the score of the change of system had not only not been realized, but so far froni it;the facts turned out to be diame trically the reverse. Our manufactures had im proved, and the machinery, which was our only de fect, because, he believed, there was a monopoly in the trade, was now equal to any that was used. The quantity of raw silk now manufactured in this country, as compared with any former period, had increased in , the proportion of three to two,—an amount exceeding the most sanguine expectations of those who were favourable to the change of system, and putting to flight all those apprehensions of ill consequences which it was said would proceed from that change, against Which So much had been said., That change in system, however, had turned out to be a most beneficial measure for the improve ment of one of our most important branches of ma nufaetures. He was sorry, therefore, to see the Clause to whith he had alluded in . the Bill; but he had no intention _of moving an amendment; the fate of which he was pretty sure would be unfortunate; and which,' if sticcessful, would . be inconvenient - i n its operation on the Bill itself. He placed reliance upon the Noble Duke at -the head of the Treasury; that though this high duty should continue for a time, it would only be for a time, and that he had no intention of: departing from those principles which had proved . so beneficial to the trade, which would continue to prosper under the free system adopted in 1824. The Duke of WELLINGTON informed the Noble Lord, that nothing further was intended by extending the operation of the present law from October next to the folloWing year, than to allow more time for inquiry on the subject, and he could assure the Noble Lord that Government, as at pre sent informed, had no intention of making any alter ation in the system which had been adopted for the admission of silk goods from the East Indies.— Adjourned.' HOUSE OF COMMONS, MoranAv, JULY 21. At six o'clock there were about fifty Members present ; but no Speaker. Mr. Ley, the Chief Clerk of the House, then addressed the Member s present, and said it was his duty to read a letter he bad received from the Speaker. He then read a letter to the following effect : " Sir—l request you will acquaint the House of Corn. ;sons the great concern I feel at not being able to attend their service this day, in consequence of the death of the Archbishop of Canterbury this morning at, I 1 o'clock. " Your's obediently, • (Signed) " MANNtRS SUTTON." Mr. PEEL . said that. although ',iinder ordinary circumstances they shotatt feel it- rtteuMbetie on them to adjourn for at least . three "Or fold ?ilaiS, the .pre ;sent state of pubqe . hosibass 'would render - . such a . 4.lelayin the highest IncOtiVetient.''He there fore hoped that the Speaker might be prevailed on to come down for a short time to-norrow,when an aWiiiiineitt would be moved.—The House then rose. _ PIEACItti IN ThE ATLANTIC. (EXTRACT FRO3t LLOYD'S.) Having in my voyage from India, between the Cape of GoOd Hope and the Western Isles, heard of several piracies having taken place, I am induced to enlarge a little of the subject,' for the purpose of showing to the world hew the North Atlantic .continues to swarm with the abandoned wretches who infest the sea, under the denomination of Colombian privateen, which are in reality Colonibian pirates. They range from the West Indies as far to the northward and eastward as often to board vessels about the Western Isles; they hover about the Cape Verde, and from thence printipally in a track of about 30 to 48 deg. W, long. The most prominent part of my subject, is a circumstance respecting a Danish ship which I overtook, named Blucher, Captain Peterson, from Bahia to Altena, with a cargo of ' sugtir. On exchanging colours, I bore down on him, and the usual question and answers being exchanged, he _informed me he left Bahia 17th May ; on June 4th, in lit. 11 N. long. 32 W. 7 r. Si. of same day, he was auddenry surprised by the appearance of a schooner, and was presently saluted with a gun, with orders to Capt. P. to surrender; being unable to defend the ship, having neither arms or ammunition on board, he yielded to their request and was presently boarded by a boat's crew, containing - II armed menof various nations and colours. Their first request was to know where the captain was, and on his stepping forward to the officer, who, it appeared afterwards, was the boat swain, the captain was directed to order his people all forward,, and hesitating to do so, two fellows, with their faces covered'with beard and mustachios, Seized him, and each presenting a double-barrelled pistol, with . spring bayonets, to his bowels, told him, if he did not instantly comply, they would murder him. lie then requested his people to go forward, and. on their retreat they were drivin into the forecastle by heavy blows from the flats of sabrei. This being done; 'they dragged him forward, and' with heavy blows on the head and back, they flung him into the forecastle. They then ordered the second mate to be in at tendance and furnish them with what they required.— They commenced their havock by cutting away all their main running rigging. the launch was next thrown into the sea, which they soon loaded with casks of water. The boat was constantly going from the schooner to the ship all night. After they had been on board two hours, many of them became intoxicated, and during the night Captain Peterson supposed they exchaUged about twenty men;, - taking care that those who . were on board the ship 'should be sober ; they plundered the Blucher of twenty five butts of water, and as.they got them on board, drove 'in their heads, filled up their casks, and then threw the Blucher's casks overboard. 'they distressed them of their bread, cordage, canvass, a handsome azimuth compass, with two others, all their charts and navigation books, either English or French, together with their watches, spy-glasses, quadrants, and all their nautical instruments, excepting, from oversight, the Captain's sextant and a nau 'deal almanack, which were found on the deck the follow ing morning. They took all their clothes, only leaving them what they stood in: They very carefully packed up all the wine in oakum and sent it on board, together with 'a cask of sugar and one of butter ; they then killed all the fowls and took them into the boat ; with all their store of pigs. A white hat, which the Captain lutd on, he was or dered to take off, and the fellow who .dewanded it said, it would do. _ _ . At 11 A. as, the boatswain came forward, and told the Captain to make his appearance, and on coming up found him dressed in all his best clothes, the others were all dressed in the Captain's and officers' dresses, some having four shirts on, three pair of . trowsers, &c., and they observed their Captain was so good a man, they were not allowed to take any bundles with them, therefore this was their plan. One among them observed, it is not . our custom to take all, and immediately demanded Captain Peterson to show them where his money was, telling him,• we know you have money : at the same time they ex claimed, one and all, without the money we are deter mined to murder you and destroy the ship ; and on being told that he had but a few crowns, they took all he had, and after committing every nuisance in the cabin, too dis gusting to relate, they went on deck, and were preparing .to hoist out another• boat belonging to the Blucher, for the purpose of taking all her new sails, but daylight made its appearance, and with it a strange sail. They were instantly ordered on board the schooner, for the purpose of running away. '1 he stranger seeing two vessels. exhi biting a disordered appearance, bore down• on them. The _schooner, then made off, staving in the long- boat's side, and sinking her. The vessel proved to be the brig Cale donia, of Guernsey, from Rio Janeiro, bound to Quern, sey, Nicholas Gifford master, and fa•om him they were sup plied with a chart. The boatswain told Capt. Peteraon they had orders to leave him only two casks of water; they howeirer, left eight. Capt. Peterson says the boatswain was a tall hideous figure, and wore round his neck a large silver chain, attached to it his silver whistle, and his fingers all decorated with tinge, on some of which were two or three. On his passage out, off St. Antonia, Cape Verde, he was hailed by a schooner, who demanded what was his cargo. On being informed coals, he asked if lie was, sure of it, and happily did not board her ; they had at that time 24,000 dollars on board, the amount of his homeward cargo. I was also informed of an English brig laden with ordnance stores, having been .captured, and the crew put on board another vessel. Capt. Peterson in formed me of his meeting a Danish vessel from Rio Jane rio, a friend of his, who told him he was compelled by a schooner to take on board fifty men, and carry them to Rio for 100 dollars, then a week's sail from it. They gave him his choice to take that or nothing, the Danish Captain being on board the schooner. Previous to his quitting the schooner, the Captain of her desired the Dime to step into the cabin, and presently wine being set on the table, the Dane was solicited to take a glass, and, de claring he bad never tasted such good wine before, he , told the Captain it was intended for the Archbishop at Rio, but to save him the trouble, they were making use of it themselves; end come, said he, suppose we drink the Bishop's good health. Having done so they parted. I have been boarded twice on a Brazils' voyage by these ves sels, and though not plundered, was glad to give them what they required. They were disguised as passing as patriotic privateers in pursuit of Spaniards. I have been trailing to the southward these eight years past, and never met a Spanish vessel at sea; .and I believe it is well known there are very few any where. The crews of these schooners have no pay ; and was it not for the depredations they commit, they could not exist.— Had not the Dane been providentially supplied on the following day with an abundance of rain, they would have bad to have borne • for the West Indies, which would have ruined his voyage. They had been` on an al lowance of 21b. of bread , a week per man, ever since up to the day I fell in with him. The , Captain was Obliged to wear one sif his people's old shirts, having only the one he took off to get washed in salt water. I fortunately had a good stock of provisions, and was thereby enabled to re lieve him with what're required in clothing and stores, on the 29th of June, in lat. 33, 28 ; long., 10, 57 . West. P. S.—Same day passed a stout entire lower mast, with the trusseltrees affixed to it. Spoke the brig Britannia, William Ferrers, from Bombay. The Danish Captain very innocently asked, where are all your English men-of-war? If one half the reports which are in circulation (some of which are of too delicate a nature to advert to) be correct, the Duke of WELLINGTON must have difficulties and anxieties to contend with of a more arduous nature than any which our foreign relations can present.--I.lforn ing Herald: PUBLIC. MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM.—A public meeting, to form an auxiliary branch of the Society for promoting the religious principles of the Reformation, has been held in this town, Captain GORDON in the chair. There was much speaking and some noise, but little or nothing that calls for particular notice. The Duke of SAN CA Rims, Ambassador from Spain to France, died at Paris, on Thursday last, of an aneurism of the heart. He was 65 years old. The Duke ie succeeded by his eldest son, the Count PUERTO, an officer in the •Royal Guards of Spain. Hi 4 Excellency is said to have declined very fast since the death of his favourite daughter, the Countess de LESSINE. The Duke was a native of 'Lima, but was very early em ployed in the Spanish army, and became shortly afterwards the tutor of the present King of STAIN. A farmer, on Thursday last, who brOught th a bag of potatoes into Monasterevan for sa le, was so ,mu annoyed at the low price 'offered. for them, that he threw, them into the Canal. For this act he was immediately summoned before Mr. Cassmy, a Magistrate, and fined 10s.—Dublin Freeman's Journal, i. PRICES OF STOCK ' S Tlfil.,;tl4F AT 014100,4..C1C.

We have reason to know fiem. undoubted authority that FERDINAND of Spain has made a most pressing solicitation to our Government to acknowledge DON MIGUEL as King of Por tugal. We 'do not wonder atthis, because the existence of a Constitutional GoVernment .in Portugal would : form an lalarming contrast to the oppressiou•in Spain. Indeed so impressed, was . FEADINAND . with this fact,..that he kept up a constant communication with the Ultra-Aposte lleals of 'the Sister Kingdorni"and used • every means in his. power to ..foster .a:spirit of 'rebellion throughout Portugal, in which he was most effectually seconded by the Priests, as the result has now unfortunately proved. But FERDINAND very innocently supports his intercession in behalf of MIGUEL on the basis of close family connexion—and that the abdica tion of DON 'PEDRO entirely precludes him from any future pretensions to the Throne of Portugal. Another reason is urged with, sliAlar:plansibility --that the recognition. of MIGUEL ivould keep down the spirit of tevolutign;.W* is, the -stitution, not only in Portugal, 'but altoingSpain; because the Governments being bolh absolute,- 'the incentive to rebellion would' be checked: by the certainty that. no, protection, and conseluently no•mercy, could be expected in either kingdom by a desertion from the other. As a still further induCement—and one which touches us More nearly— FERDINA ND suggests. the probability . of hiS being .sooner enabled to repay the claims of this country upon Spain, but he does not actually promise the repayment of the debt. He says, that the Peninsula being freed from internal commotion; the resources both of Spain and Portugal will considerably improve, and the happiness'of the people will be increased, by enjoying the protection of Govern ments acting on the SitneprinCiple, and , swayed by the same motives. - `What answer our Government. has returned, if any yet, we do not pretend to say ; but the de clarations of the Duke of i .Wri.:LiiiwroN .arid 'Mr. PEEL in their respective places in Parlia- I me nt stand much in the way of:ack now le d ging. a USURPER as the, lawful Sovereign of Por tugal—the most ancient Ally of this Country..: By their declaration Government stands 'coin !flitted, at least for the present ; iybileon the other hand, it must he confessed that the speech of Lord A.BERDEEN is directly . the other way. That Noble Earl's official situa tion adds weight to .his. assertion 7 -that there are many friends to' 'this country' among. the Apostolicals or Absolutists of Portugal. The recent correspondence of Marshal BiRESPORD would seem to corroborate this assertion if it .be true, all .we say is ---Save us from our friends, and - we will protect ourselves froM our enemies. The Prussian State Gazette of the 16th inst. his been received this morning. The Ses sion of the Swiss Diet opened- on the Bth. The Universal Gazette of Greece gives an account of the capture of -a. Turkish corvette with sick men on board , . which attemptedto break the blockade o f Modon and escape to Alexandria, but she .was observed by a Russian frigate and take". The plague among the Egyp tian troops does not seem to be so virulent as at first reported. We had before heard -of the -capture of the Turkish vessel, but were not fur nished with the particulars : ZURICH, JULY-9• The Session of the Swiss Diet opened yesteiday with the usual solemnities. After attending divine service in the Protestant and Catholic Churches, the Deputies met in the house of the President, whence they proceeded to the CittM Church. There M. Burgomaster Reinhard, for the third time, opened - the Session. After taking the oath, the 'Deputies repaired to their Hall, to hear the annual report on the domestic and foreign affairs of the Confederation. BERLIN, JULY 15. The Greek Bee contains the letter which the Ipsariots sent to Count Capo d'lstria, with the diploma as citizen of ,Ipsara, and the Count's answer. The latest number of the Universal Gazette of Greece that we have received contains a letter from Egina, which gives an account of the capture of an Egyptian corvette, with sick on board, which was going from Modon to Alexandria, and was taken by the Russians, without regard to Ibrahim's protestations. - It appears that Ibrahim, distressed by the blockade, and probably to get rid of useless consumers, atempted to send the sick invalids and wounded to Alexandria ; two brigs employed for this purpose evaded the blockade under cover of the night, and sailed to Egypt. — `On the 14th of May, at ten at night, the above mentioned corvette, commanded by Captain Alustafa, attempted to follow their example, but was observed and followed by the Russian frigate Castor; on board the corvette were some hundred sick and wounded Arabian soldiers, and 2S slaves of both sexes, of whom eleven were children. Captain Svinken, of, the Ezekiel, who com mands the Russian blockading squadron, landed the sick and wounded on the Island of Rodano, and sent the cor vette, with the Christian prisoners, and a crew of 60 men, to Egina, to Admiral Count Hey ' •den. On board this Egyptian ship was found a list of the soldiers who were lately sent to Alexandria, according to the statement of the chief physician of Ibrahim's army. The number sent on board the Epirus brig was 411 men, and in that on board the corvette of Captain Mustafa, which was taken, 423 men. The number sent in the other brig is not men tioned; perhaps both brigs, though only one is named, had 411 men on board. They all belonged to seven m egiments and the corps of Artillery. Besides the above sick there were still 400 in the hospital at Modon, and 100 in that of Navarin, making in all nearly 1,400. Some cases of contagion had lately occurred in the camp at Modon, but the disorder seemed not to be so malignant as the plague. Ibrahim's physicians do not agree about the nature of this disorder, some call it the plague and others take it to be only an inflammatory fever, but it is cer tainly contagious, and the patients die in a few days. The similarity of the symptoms seem to confirm the suspicione entertained at Hydra and Spezzia, and to justify the pre cautionary measures adopted by the Greek Government. The Gaette de France of Sunday contains no additional news from the Russian and Turkish arm ies, but gives some account of an unsuccessful attempt by the Turks to take possession of the Island of Samos. The timely arrival MIAULIs saved the Island and destroyed the Turks, fifteen hundred of whom fell into the hands of the Samiots by their retreat having been cut off. It is also said that the Greeks have attacked the Turks in Athens, and succeeded in making themselves masters of the town, but were obliged to evacuate, it in consequence of .the •fire from the batteries of the Acropolis. According to private letters received at Paris, 4,500 men of the Constitutional army, who sought refuge in Gallicia, have been compelled by the Spanish Government to lay down their arms, after which they received a month's pay and provisions until the decision of the Portu guese Government was known :respecting their fate. We arc much inclined to doubt the correct ness of this information—first, because it does not appear very probable that the Spaniards would have a sufficient force to compel the surrender of 4,500 men, and next that, how ever great the generosity of FEIWINAND'S GoVernment, it would not like to pay a body of 4,500 men even for a month, unless it hoped by this manoeuvre to. establish a brother Despot on the Throne: We received the Hamburgh Reporter this afternoon, dated Friday last :—it contains the Bulletins from the Russian Army which we gave yesterday. It appears that Admiral GREW has made his appearance before Varna, with a part of the Russian Fleet of the Black Sea, which had been engaged at the siege of Anapa. This circumstance tends ,much to confirm the presumption that the ,Russians mean to take the sea coast in their 'march on Constantinople, and, thereby render the " impregnable" passes of the Balkan useless to the Turks as a line of defence. According to accounts from the Vistula several military divisions, among whom is a numerous body of light cavalry, are ordered to proceed with great despatch to join the army in Turkey : BORSEN-HA LLE, FOUR O'CLOCK. Since last Tuesday our funds have in general recovered about There are no sellers in the market, and of trans fers there have consequently been few to-day. There has been a general expression of surprise and dis satisfaction manifested to-day, in consequence of the Dutch mail having arrived without bringing any letters; papers of Tuesday have been received, but these contain only the prices of Monday, whereas from the letters of their corre spondents, our merchants expected to have been in pos session of those of Tuesday. The cause of this irregularity is not known. The arrival of the English papers of the'llth occasioned a declbas of from I to 4 per cent. in I3eilin. In Vienna also there 'has been a decline. _ .

Several military divisions, which are at present on their march from the interior of Russia towards the Dnieper, and among whom there is a numerous body of light ca valry, are said to have received distinct orders, to proceed with sufficient despatch to reach their places of destina tion in the first week of August. In another column our readers will find a long article, deseriptive of the. System of piracy pursued in the Atlantic by vessels under the Colombian and other, flags. The affair at liallinamore turns out to have been a mere &splay of local feeling en the , part of the Catholics, calculated rather to show the Protestants the impolicy of celebrat ing the Anniversary of the Boyne, than mani festing any real hostility. It is said that 500 of the people were armed with pikes and other offensive weapons ; but we think that too much importance is attached to the affair, which partook more of a temporary popular effer vescence than any settled purpose. However, the affair is considered of sufficient importance by Government to warrant the immediate departure of Mr. DAWSON and Sir GEORGE HILL for Ireland. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

CITY, TwaLvz o'CLocz. A more than ordinary bustle has taken place ix the English Funds this morning, in consequence of its being settling day, but the transactions have been chiefly confined to the Brokers adjusting their ac counts ; so far all has gone off smoothly, with one exception, and that of no material importance, although the party was much respected as an old member of the House. Consols opened at 86i for money, and 884 for account; they have scarcely fluctuated at all, the only variation is their being at present 88t, the nearest price. The operations for the August account seem to be rather limited in extent, and have the appearance of there being an indisposition to enter into speculations at present. India Stock has fallen from 246 8' to 244 f 5f ; the Bonds remain stationary at 106 7; Exchequer Bills, 73 4 pm. The Foreign Funds remain nearly at yesterday's prices, and little or no business appears to be doing; Brazilian Bonds, 62k; Portuguese, 56 ; Russian, 94 ; and Mexican, 40. The Share Market is' also in a complete calm, and no variation has taken place worthy of notice. By the Hamburgh steamer, which has just arrived, Papers of the 18th inst. have been received, but they do not bring any intelligence of the least impor tance from the East. The Metalliques continue to rise, being quoted on the 10th at Vienna, at 93/; the Actions of the Bank, on the 15th, were 1,070, and on the 18th 1,076 at Hamburgh. Three per Cent.

Consols have become heavy within the last two hours, and have declined to 861 1, at present they are 86i for money, and 861 87 for the 28th of August, the Contango having nearly gone off; Indi a Bonds are again higher, they reached 109 pm. The Foreign Market is a perfect blank. THREE 0' CL 0 CR. Consols, 861 ex. div FOUR O'CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES. Consols 861 Danish 62 Do. for.

It proceeded to the nearest pert, Corunna, where the party received such inhospitable and even bar barous treatment' from the Governor and his agents, an shows that the Apostolicals in the Peninsula still ruake common cause, and that an attempt to support the rights of a Constitutional Sovereign in Portugal, however legiti mate his title, is sure to be resented and resisted by the absolutists in Spain. The Deputy-Governor, in the ab sence of the Governer, placed a guard of soldiers on the beach to prevent any body from landing but the Captain , and ordered this guard to fire, if any attempt should be made to disembark. For three (lays he refused to let the vessel be laid ashore that her bottom might be examined, and when permission was at last granted, she could not, on account of the neap tides, be got up far e nough for the purpose. With much difficulty and great expense the re , pairs were made, and coals, water, and provisions pro cured. All this time none of the party were allowed to land. Whenever they were seen by any of the Govern ment agents, they were even exposed to insulting language and unmanly threats. Never was an expedition more un wfo a r :. n d n a a n t e d than e t l h v a a t rd m ..b a d o e u n b d y t p h a i s s sa s t g e e a , m w e rh, which t o h cc o u n p i h e e d r a o l I t i ( t )- - gether twenty-six days.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. . BIENIIOLT. V. LOGAN. This case, which occupied the Court during the entire of yesterday; was - again proceeded with to day. It came on upon exceptions to the Master's report, and for further directions. CONSISTORY. COURT. TYRRELL V. TYRRELL. In this case, which was one of divorce, promote' by Mr. Tyrrell against his wife, by reason of adultei by her committed with the Rev. Mr. St. Aubyn, Dr. DODSON, on behalf of Mrs. Tyrrell, said io should best consult the interests of his client 1/ offering no opposition, as he must a d m it th e case was clearly proved on the part of Mr. Tyrrell. His MAJESTY'S ADVOCATE very briefly coon' mented on the circumstances of the elopement 0 , Mrs. Tyrrell from her home with Mr. St. Aubyn, and Dr. I.IIISHINGToN, pronounced the case to tic clearly proved, and decreed the parties to be di' vorced from bed, board, and mutual cohabitation. FLINTAN V. TLINTAN. Dr. LUSHING.rON, after 'hearing • Advocates oil both sides in this case, which has been repeated!) before the public, gave judgment. The parties in the cause were married in 18141„ and lived together till 1826, when they separated , : and shortly after the suit was .instituted by Mrs. Flintan, against Mr. Flintan, by reason of adultery and cruelty by him committed. It had been admit'. ted by the Counsel on behalf of Mr.' Flintan, that the adultery charged against him was clearly proved' • and therefore that part of the case needed no eonsi': deration ; but his defence was, that she also wad guilty of adultery : it was charged to have been • committed by her at various times since 1821, and with a number of persons; no less than five. Er ceptions had been pleaded, and in a certain degree proved, against the testimony of the .witnesses who had been examined to prove Mr. Flintan's plea; but there was one of them, Mrs.Jarrall, who was believed by. both parties (and the Court concurred in that belief), .to be entirely worthy of credit, and she deposed to having seen 'Mrs. Flintan and a Mr. Bevan lying on a bed together;-though she at the same time said that their clothes . appeared in the usual and proper manner. Now the Court could not' looking at this eviden ce , a t the low way of life id which the parties appeared to have lived, and et the corroboration this testimony gave to other wit' noses who, though less worthy of belief, de' posed to specific acts of adultery committed Mrs. Flintan with. Mr. Bevan; the . Court would not come to any other conclusion. than that Mrs; Flintan was also guilty of adultery. With regard to the other parties with whom she was charged to have cohabited, her guilt was not so,clear, but with Mr. Bevan, her conduct admitted of no doubt. lie therefore pronounced that Mr. Flintan had substar tiated his recriminatory charge against Mrs. Flintae , • and consequently dismissed him from the citatiod served on him in this cause, and from all further observance of justice therein.

The brig Catherine and Hannah, of and from Soo' derland, Captain Lumsden, • arrived in our harbou r on Thursday night, and we have been put in posses' sion of the following distressing particulars, which tend to recall in their narration the horrible tragedy which had so recently taken place. The' Caput° states, that on the 4th May, in lat. 45, Il N. 5 6 '" i n nf ic t h o the Superb, Sfoupulerobla 0 W. at one o'clock, P.M. he picked upa boat belong' o n f ic a e n b d er f g rri nn ß t r hp istl i a fo t for Quebec' of pril which stove her for wird. This unfortunate occurrence obliged all hands to take to the pumps, at whic h they continued without intermission for two dal e and a night, when a schooner hove in sight; an t the captain proceeded in the jolly-boat, to tr ea with them to take the crew. While the eaßto ui was so engaged, the vessel being quite in k a sinking state,_ the crew left the pumps to get bl e boats out to leave her. • They succeeded in ge tting a boat, (the one _subsequently picked up), a", seven men got into her, on which they unhoelou the tackle, slipped the, ship, but could not aga in , regain her, and it coming on thick, -they could 10 ," find the schooner, and the unfortu n at e men we re le ft to the mercy of an all-wise God—without pro" sions, water, masts, sails, 'or any thing that woul d enable them to struggle for existence, save and Mr; eept two oars ! In this state they were buffetteu about for' cleven days, not knowing in what dire' tion they were moving, and with feelings it is total l l impossible to describe, when they, were fallen in wit h by the Catherine and Hannah, Om the scene that, presented itself was sufficient to appal the stoutest heart—as it had already struck. , the crew With horror! Of the seven men only two were alive, Two of them died about twenty-four hours after, leaving the ship, from their previous sufferings, an d on their bodies the others subsisted for some time ' Three others were also dead i n th e b o at whose bloo d afforded drink ! and their bodies sustenance to th e wretched 'meti, who lived, to narrate the heart-rod e log tale--in a word, they were endeavouring to pre' long a wretched existence by eating and drinking each other's blood ! ! ! and to • add to their misery they had all been dreadful frost-bitten - before death had terminated their sufferings: Captain Lute den instantly took the living men on bard , but one of them only survived 'about twenty' four hours. The other survivor is so muc h frost:-bitten, that it is thought . must be oole putated, and from all he has stiffered his recovery 15 considered doubtful ; it seema that his.being able t? sustain himself longer than hia. companions in te l ' sery was, owing to tobacco. He states that the mate' second mate, and eight of the crew; were left 0 ", board the • Superb, and •when they parted her t hr , carpenter was engaged in cutting away the goo° chions to' get the long-boat bver the-;tide, it beil washed to leeriard'against them.
