THE EH . 46 V. iIIEItHILLES. 11lit wa s an indictment -foe a conspiracy) on be-__ ri l) °f the underwriters of Lloyd's, for a of c° _ u e nee with the insurance of a vessel called t h e ap ps Which, was abandoned,at sea and totally lost. General,-I)l3ed froM . the statement of the Attorney- Portuguese that poli cy of insurance was affected by merchant, named Via"' don Insurance Compny, on with the I,,on for a k oyage from Oporto to Rio Janeiro. The ship was valued in the policy at 2,000/ , and the goods the ship Diana, and freight at 5,97,5/. The ship. was wrecked on t he . voyage, and the underwriters refused to pay the Policy on the ground that the ship and cargo were Insured for an amount greatly exceeding their value. In process having issued from the - Court of Ex hequer against the un dervvriters a full investigation of the transaction took place. ' Vi a put in an ,a,flidsvr.it, in whi ch aa - he states that he had purchased Lue snip Diana for 7 9 0 milreas, or about 2,0001. En ...„ _ , n ...„_, , , 0 i nsured on vim moneY, and that he had purchased the goods board the Diana, which consisted of boxes ?f silks arid soft goods, at different fairs in the neigh named by °ourhood of Oporto, and from different persons in , the him. Upon this answe r being put Court of Exchequer, on the motion of the under--_ ~,ittnete, granted an order for the examination ?f fathers books, which were in the custody of his —4 law, in Portugal. Viana expected that the exkkination of his books would be deferred until bis No p b rn to ortugal, be bein g in England When t -e (,our of Exchequer granted the order; but by the limierwriters, i c n rity of Mr. Young, an agent of the y Portugal , the person in whose care Viana : s b : °° '''' were was induced to give them up for examination. t/ -141 1 this examination the under writers discov er ot' as they had anticipated, that . . . Viana's books Were wholly inconsistent with the particulars of the answer:given in by him to .the bill filed in the Court of Exchequer. A motion was therefore made for the production of the books, which was granted, and upon their production . in the Court, it was found that they were fabricated -to sustain Viana's answer, and that new entries were made, and new pages inserted and bound up, and even in one instance a new book substituted for an old one, in order to aid the deception. The fabrication of the books could be proved by' Mr. Yoling, who examined them in their original state at Oporto; and his evidence was borne out by a num ber of letters addressed by Viana,whilst in England, to his agents in Portugal, directing them to find a bookbinder,! and to make certain changes in the books, and entries contained in them, in order to sustain his affidavit. Theseletters, by some means which were not explained, had fallen into the 'un derwriters' hands, and -also the original contract for the purchase of the vessel, from which it appeared that Viana had only given 2,500 milreas for the ship Diana, instead of 7;900 milreas, as stated in his an swer. The underwriters also discovered that Viana was never in . possession of the goods which he al leged he had shipped on board the Diana. The defendant Mereilles was in England when Viana put in his answer, and made a deposition in support of the answer, in which he deposed generally that he, had seen certain boxes in Viana's house in Oporto and subsequently saw those boxes shipped on board the Diana. After making this deppsition, Mer eilles went to Portugal, and_ there was reason to suspect that he was present and assisting in the manufacture of the fabricated books, as the false en tries were in his handwriting, and he was seen with . a bookbinder, who was employed to - insert new leaves and rebind the books according to the sugges tion of Viana. If these circumstances were satis factorily proved, there can be no doubt that the de fendant had conspired with others to defraud the underwriters; and if such frauds' ware passed over with' impunity, there *could be no security for this species of British enterprise. The underwriters, therefore, felt it to be their duty to bring the de fendant to trial, in order, if his guilt was satisfactorily proved, that his punishment might operate as an ex ample to others In his own country, as well as in other countries where insurances were effected on the security of British capital. The policy of insurance, with the signatures of the under Writers was given in evidence. The letters of Viana, to his agents in Portugal, were also read, and occupied the Court for several hours. The case is not likely to close until a late hour in the evening. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. GoDFRET U. HARMAN AND ANOTHER. This was an action. brought by the plaintiff, as residuary legatee under the will of a.Mr. Patrick, to the amount of 3,3101. against the defendants, who are the executors under the will, for the recovery of interest; at the rate of five per cent: on the above sum for the time' it remained in their hands after the expiration of twelve months from the death of Mr. Patrick. It appeared from the evidence that the defendants settled their accounts, as executors, at th e c l ose o f the first y ear , and the. money was then suffered to remain at interest in their hands. Subsequently the plaintiff was arrested,and applied for the money, but the defendants refused to pay it, on the ground that if the pl a i n tiff rema i ned in prison he might be made a bankrupt. The defendant subsequently offered to pay the money, if the plaintiff would take three in stead of five per cent. interest. In the course of the plaintiff's case Mr. Sergeant TEDDY said that the money was in Court; it had been paid in, but the fact was that a commission ,of bankruptcy was taken out against the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant WILDE—And superseded. Mr. Justice BURROUGH—Have you any defence to offer? • Mr.-Serjeant TADDY said the money was paid into Court, and might be taken out if the plaintiff would consent to withdraw a juror. Mr. Serjeant WILDE would consent to no such thing; why should the plaintiff be saddled With the costs. Mr, Serjeant TADDY—WeII then we must de fend eureelves. The Learned Serjeant then. took some legal ob jections to the maintainance of such an action which Mr. Justice Burrough said he would reserve. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY then contended that no per son could realize five per cent. interest on his capi tal, and therefore the Jury would do ample justice by giving to the plaintiff three per cent., which had already been paid into Court. The defendants had consulted Mr. Bell, and his opinion was, that while a commission of bankruptcy was in existence, they might be compelled to pay the money over again if they paid it to the plaintiff. The commission was issued in. 1821, and was not superseded until last August, therefore, uutil then they would not pay the money without a serious risk. The opinion of Mr. Btll was then put in against the wishes of Mr. Sergeant TARDY, but as one of his witnesses had been examined relative to the opi nion of that Learned Gentleman, Mr. Justice BUR. ROUGH held that it must be produced. The opi nion when read excited some amusement, because it expressly stated that five per cent. ought to be paid. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 3,3101. I6s. 9d., with interest at the rate of five per cent. LIBEL. GUTHRIE V. WARELIE. This was an action for libel against the 'Lancet. It excited a great deal of interest, and the Court was crowded at an early hour._ Mr. BROUGHAM WWI retained in the case, but at the rising of the Court it was withdrawn. • till he h er e ed co it t o d i d s. obt H ain e INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT . - f s o e u n r t t h b s a c o k f the nse j° c 4 o nW nt ats o o f m th w r a ee s had been discharged within the period of five year and after his discharge accepted an accomrnos: dation bill, which was dishonoured. The COURT said that it was intolerable for insol vents, whose property was always liable, again to lay themselves under obligations for the purpose of assisting others. The case o f George Walpole, of Blackheath, was arranged, by his sister, Anna Maria 'Kay, reducing her claim from 6.59/. to 159/., and consenting to take a dividend of 4001., which has been paid into Court for the benefit of all the creditors.

THE LATE WRECK OF THE BRIG AURORA. —The body of another of the unfortunate sufferers in the wreck of the brig Aurora, (being the fourth that has been found), was picked up on Monday near Ballymacaw. It was very much mutilated, but from its size was recognized to be that of a young boy, named M'Manos, who joined the vessel shoat three months ago in London, where his parents reside. It was - deposited at Rathcohelan Church yard. Four more of the bodies of the Aurora's crew are still missing.— Waterford Chronicle. LATE ELOPEMENT FROM DUBLIN.—The parties in this affair, as we stated a few days since, were MICHAEL SHEA, a boat-owner, and Mrs. DARDIS, wife of another boat-owner, both of Dublin. The gay Lothario was arrested in this city, on Sunday evening. This fact we designedly abstained from noticing, on Tuesday, not w i s hing to throw any obstacle in the way of the appre hension of the lady; this persecution has been attended with the desired result, for Mrs. Daaois was taken into custody on Tuesday morning, in the suburbs, enamorati are thus prevented proceeding to the Continent, as, we un derstand, was their intention..—.Waterford Chronicle.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have oil more than one occasion ex pressed my surprise at the manlier in which a great part of the• Press have thought it right to treat the Country Bankers. In a letter which appeared in the illorning Herald a few days ago, signed " Scrutator," it was proposed that at a meeting of Country Bankers, then about to take place, a number of questions should be put to them, of whiCh the following are in sub stance, a lew of them, viz. , • What quantity of gold, and what quantify of Bank notes, they kept in the house to answer their circulation ? Whether they had not outstanding in their ledgers a number of debts which were very doubtful ; and whether they were not afraid to call in those debts, lest the ruin they might thus bring on individuals, might draw the at teation of the public as to their own solvency Whether in their annual balance at Christmai they were not in the habit of including these bad debts as a part of their assets—thus deceiving their clerks, as to their real situation ? Now, Sir, I will consent to spend my Christ nias holidays With the boa constrictor at the, - Tower, or to browse for a. whole month in Windsor Park, tied to the tail of the cameleo pard, if I don't convince your numerous readers of the absurdity of 4 Scrutator's" letter. In the first place, I must premise that the' Country, BankerS now in town, and to whom it was pro posed to put the above questions, are, all of them, _persons who have honourably paid their engagements. Therefore, what right has " Scru tator" to ask them questions relative to the man ner in which their business is conducted, any more than be has a right to go to two or three merchants counting-houses in the City, and say, ‘f there has been a great deal of smashing work amongst the merchants in my time —my mind is, in consequence, greatly disquieted ; let me see your books—perhaps there " may be something vicious in your way of doing business." In his way home he may " drop in" upon the Bankers in Lombard -street, and say to them, " Even your body, Gentlemen, , fail sometimes—it -is exceedingly unpleasant ; you create in conse quence distress, right and left ; allow me to ask you a few questions'as to your balances—What money you keep in hand to meet those balances, and what the amount of your bad debts were last year ?',' I need not say'what, in all probability, would be " Scrutator's" lot, if he were to try the ex periment with . the merchants and London Bankeis ; and is there any difference in the-eases ? Why is a solvent Country Banker to be baited with questions relating to his private affairs, and a London Banker or Merchant to be exempt from such iMpertifience ? I shall, perhaps, be told, what unfortunately is too true, that, on ac count of the numerous failures which have taken, place amongst Country Bankers, the public loudly call for an investigation and revision of a system which has been so destructive to the for tunes and happiness of individuals—hut while I admit this to be true, and that it is the duty of Parliamerapply a remedy, I deny the right of. indiviatialeto question any class of persons, who honourably pay their engagements, as to the mode in which , they may think proper to conduct their business. Should, however, 'my views be erroneous, and " Scrutator's" questions be perfectly proper, I propose us addition (the transition from banking affairs to private affairs being very simple), to ask the Country Bankers a few questions myself, and I now give them due notice : 1. During the panic in 1825-6, state the quantity of wine you drauk—distinguihing French wines, Port, Sherry, and Madeira. 2. What time do you go to bed in summer—and what time do you go to bed in winter? 3. What family have you got—be so good as to state how many boys, how many girls—their ages—where they go to school—whether they have had the small-pox—the measles—the pooping-coligh : state when each child cut its teeth—who are the godfathers, and godmothers, and what did those godfathers and godmothers promise? 4. Do you shave in hot-water or cold water—where do you buy your razors, and will you undertake to say that you always use.a nail brush? 5. Do you, nbtwithstanding Mr. Justice Park, suffer your wife and daughters to wear the present wide-spreading fashionable bonnets ? 6. With a large family you must be subject to illness. Now tell me; when any of your children are troubled with abdominal pains, do you physic them yourself, or do you take them at once to Dr. Paris? I am, Sir; your obedient servant, H. H.

CRAMER played on the piano with such a delicacy of execution as to call for the plaudits of the assemblage, and several handsomely dressed ladies in the gallery, unable to restrain their feelings of pleasure, joined in the compliment. Mr. Moscitzmes succeeded with a Fantasia, and the rapidity of this performer's execution was displayed with more than usual effect. The two celebrated professors just mentioned then gave a duet on the pianoforte, which was loudly en cored. Mr. BRAHAM sung a song, which had been writ. ten for the occasion, in his best style.
