" x' , . THE Slst WILLIAM cuicris PACKET. DETAILED ACCOUNT oF TUI Lo3S OF THAT VESSEL sstso sTF, Nov. 6.—Yesterday areived here the Lord Liverponl packet, from Ostend, which port sh lett on Saturciay afternoon—kought se .veral (Acct.!. and passengers. By tais veasel, we leant -there are hone , : of the Sir William Curtis pack:t being got off. Letters are tdso recei'eed tt 11.• verpwil (addresse4 l to the owners of ire Rantsgate packer), from passengers who were on board the Sir William Curtis whet.' sie struck; and who are very desi!tus of excelaating Captain VALERA. the Colitimuuler, front any blame or. in-' attention to tfic.VCSSel "r the lives of the pas . auneers on hoard, and therefere, unsolicited, have written to the Ramsgate packet owners an ac , coant of the disastrObs circumstance. The Sir William Curtis packet sailed from Rantsgate for Ostend on Friday evening, Oct. 27, allow nine o'clock, fine weather at that time; but afterw,ar !s becoming unfavourable, she did not arrive off Ostend until Sunday morning, too late to get in that tide. In the afternoon a very severe gale -sprung up at easterly, which made a great sea at the cot ranee of the harbour. At seven o'elock the light was• hoisted on the east pier, which denoted a sufficient depth of water for the packet to enter ; 'but Captain Falera being deter mined, if possible, to avoid any delayed making for the harbour until nine o'clack; when the vessel struck on the ground, about 50 yards distant front the pier-head; and afterwards washed up awainst the piles on the west side ; art attempt was then made to get the boat out, but she stove, and the vessel tilled with water. At this moment Captain Fulcra attempted to fasten a rope to the piles, that the passengers'might by that means be assisted ; •but in endeavouring to this Caw emir Fulcra was wished overboard by a tre mendous wave, and it was with ;;rest difficulty tic sr he got on shore, and saved his own life.— At this nuitnent it is most probable that the on . - fortunate Ladies were - washed off the deck also. The Steward of the ship caught hold of Isliss Carleton with one hand, and With the other held by one of the piles, when the vessel heeled, and his lea; was jammed against the piles, and he eot:151 keep his hold of the lady no longer, and she sunk and was•seen no more, This man remained on the piles front nine until two o'clock in the initiating, before lie could get extricated from his situation—l believe that his thigh was broken.— Colooel Kinnaird was one of the passengers,"and got on shore from the piles considerably hurt several others escaped in the Same'svay.' Ales. Carlerots (Mother of Lora - Dorchester) and her (laughter, a young lady onwards of twenty, and their female scream, naloetunately perished. The liCdy of ;Vies. Carleton (only),, had been found at the time the Liverpool left Ostend : the -young lady and female servant bad 'not been picked up on Saturday last. - endeavours.were wanting, either by the Cap tain for Mate, raj save the unlortimAte passengers that eel ished, and their exertions on this melan choly 0, asion were highly meritorious, although. fiat attended with the 'desired success. The Cap rein's it , a eutleavonrittg to make harbour of Os tend in the morning is universally acknowledged to he good judgment; as, lie would then haye been sore to have lost his vessel. •Nothiag'but it most severe gale coming on at the time he- Made the harbour, caused this •dreadful ac cident. The passengers, front whom the ac cfnut is received, say, that their . only motive of wrltittg, this Statement- is to clear the Cap taita and 2clate of the Sir William Curtis packet from censare, as no blame whatever can be al-. leged against them. Besides the unfortunate fe male sufferers before-mentioned, there was a' yowler utan perished, who was brother, it is said, to a.person that %Vas lost in the Lord Wellington, Doverpacket, near Ostend, a few months since. the very extraordinary eireninstance.of there heibe; several feet less water at the Pier Head on Struday, than t bere'was the day before at the same time, and the being deceived by the light being hoisted, under the idea of there being the same depth of .water. as usual, this dread:til accident may be chiefly a ttributsd. Letters from Flushing alo Mention the saute circumstance as very ex traoedioary, otethere being three feet less Water at that place oil Sunday evening, than there were twelve hours before, owing to the gale Conlin , ' on so rapidly from.the eastward. - USEFUL NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

On entering the outer door, all the lobbies and avenues to the large room were choaked up ; and it the private door had not been Opened by order of the Stewards, the squeeze would have been intolerable. On the merits of the Messiah, which has been so long celebrated for its various excellencies, it is unnecessary to enlarge ; and with respect to its exuctition the present case, we had the pleaStne to remark that it called forth universal applause. The - choruses were unusually grand and sublime. Every performer seemed to be un der the most exact discipline, and to join ‘vith singular skill and effect in producing one general and complex system of harmony. 17lie merits of Mr. 13natt in the different passages of the Mes usnally allotted to hint have been long known and etlebrated. His voice is admirably adapted for the expression of sublime emotion, and sacred music therefore affords full scope for the display of his pOwers. The other singers met with just and deserved applause. Mrs. Salmon was particu larly admired for the force and effect. ‘vhich she gave the beautiful passage of ." I know that my Redeciner liveth." We have already mentioned that . last evening's performance was crowded to excess. Mrs. Sal mon sung several songs with uncommon sweet ness, and Witham gave some Italian airs, and the " Maid," with all his characteristic taste and expression. In the latter he was loud ly encored. .

LAW iNTELLIGENCE. 'COURT 01 , CHANCERT, Nov. s. ALgTON V. WHITEITEAD. Sir SAMUEL 1t! ILLY and Mr. IIAnT stated this to be an applicatlon on tht;;Art of the petitioner for liberty to prgve 1-107. the arrears of an :I'l4 nuity, and 6,10.1/. as the vdice of that annuity, instead of 2.6001., the staii at which the annuity had been valued by the Commissioners.' In the year 1808, the bankrupt piirchased an annuity of the petitioner, and gave for it 2,50G1. stipulating fur its redemption the sum of 2,6501. The peti tioners, for the purpose 'of ascertaining the value Of the annuity, referred the same to Mr. Morgan and Mr. Mills, the actuaries of two of the Life Insurance Offices, who reported that it was worth upon•an average 11,1001. This they stated upon an estimate of what was the value of the annuity, not with reference to what was its actual money price, but upon the ordinary profit of money.— The Cotranissioners rebutted the evidence, and fiXed the value according to the redemption price. This the petitioner now Meant to call under the review of his Lonfship, ant) in so doing, they begged to recall to his Lordship'S recollection the caw of ex-parte Thistlewood, , where his Lordship had found the petitioner entitled, upon the same footing as the petitioner had adopted in the pre sent instance, to a larger sum than the annuity bail originally cost, -namely, to 10,0001. instead of 8,000/. Atter hearing Counsel on both' sides, The Loan CHANCELLOR agreed in the impor tance of the case. There was at present, at least there was ‘vheir his Lordship last inquired into the practice, no general practice observed, either in the Master's °lice, or by the Commissioners of Bankrupt, some of them deciding one way, others another way. Thistlewood's case did not seem to his Lordship to decide this case, but de pended upon peculiar circumstances. At all evem.s his Lordship had no hesitation in saying, that the opinion of the Commissioners could not be cor rect, in taking the redemption price as, the crite rion Ity which ti) judge. Thatsurn was fixed as the value to he band( d over entire, not as a price Ott which the petitioner would accept of a corn position. The rule should be the sarne,.whelber this tvas or was not a clause of redemption. His Lordship take thne ,to consider the case, a nd ordered the Report of Mr. Morgan and . Mr. Mills to be handed to him. COURT OF ,KING'S BENCH, S. CAREOL V. DE TASTET. Mr. ATToaNEy-GE ( NF.FIAL moved for a new trial. in this case. He stated that it was a question of great , importance to the commercial . world, be sides that manyihousand pounds ;depended on the present cause. - • The CatlsC was .tried at'the 'Sittings after last. Term at GUildhall. It Was an action by the as.; signees of Messrs. Parry and Latham, broker's, to recover from the, defendant a quantity of West India produce, which hail been transferred to La tham, as he contended, fraud ule utly, a :id by a votun lary pieferenee, in contemplation of bankruptcy. T - e facts were'. that Mr, De Tastet employed Latham and Parry to buy Vest India produce for him, which they did, and as Parry told hint, wa3 in the docks in his name: 'lt appear 'ad that a Mr. Mardell heard . that De Tastet held his acceptance for several thbusand pounds knowing that his house had no such acceptance outstanding, he called on De Tastet and desired to see the bill. D T.astet declined :hewing it to him, and said it was the acceptance of another house ;- but this Mr. Mardell insisted .could not' be the case, as there iris no house of the same Chris tian and surname. De Tastet then sent for Parry, and it turned out that the acceptance was forged ; upon which- De Tastet exclaimed—" Where are any sugars, my rums, and my coffee 1. - -Parry said they were all safe in the Docks. De Tastet immediately, sent his broker, and made , Parry transfer them all into his name. Parry immedi ately absconded, and thereby committed all act of bankruptcy. The question was, whether the transfer obtained from Parry, with a halter about his neck, was not a compounding of felony, and was available against the creditors of the estate of Latham and Parry. The Court said, there was nn evidence that Party was promised an indemnity for keeping this transfer, and aS the transfer seas (made before any , act of bankruptcy by Latham and - Parry, at the pressin , instance of a creditor,: it could not be considered as a fraudulent and- voluntary prefer ence.—Ruie refused. THE KING V. THE PARISH OF ST. JOHN. Mr. GURNEY moved for a certiorari, to remoVe this matter into the court of King'l,l,lench trout the Dover Sessions. It respected a road-between the town of Margate aural Acorn, which the pro secutor contended, had not been kept in a suffi cient state of repair. In order to establish the contrary, the certificates of two Magistrates re siding in the indicted parish had been produced at two separate-Sessions, when the fact was, that two or three days previous to the sessions, a few workmen had been employed to face the road in question, by filling in the ruts, - etc. in order,. to give a colour for the certificates' of the Magistrates. At the last.sessions a Distringas had been prayed for to compel the parish of St. John to plead to the indictment, but it had been refused on 'the ground of the certificate produced from the Ma-; gistrates, who could not be ignorant of the . real bad condition of the roAtl. Lord ELLENBOROUGH-- , -It might have been well to remind the certifying Magistrates of the case decided apiin this subject. Mr. Guitz.:Ey answered, 'that he had referred them to it at the Sessions, and had offered (the illagi•strat es being .npoll time bench), that if they Ivonhi swear to the truth of their certificates, he ,wOold drop the iadictincnt . against the parish, and would .adupt kinothet'wethod of proceeding. He wished that the certificates should be reinovtd to time Court 'of King's Bench. Lord ELLEsinottotiGi-I.—lt is competent for yon to ;CIIIOVC matter by certiorari, but I do not know , . . . • ,vt• further pnrpo(.... will be lins."3 i•c, by removing the certificates.
