TIIE LONDON JOURNALS DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAYERS August 3. [MORNING I'OST.] The Manifesto, said to have been drawn up by the Russian and Austrian Governments, has Isot yet been made public ; and the delay in its appearance creates fresh doubts of its existing any where, save in the articles of Newspapers, or the letters of private Corre•spondents. But in the absence of this document, another is spoken ofi which, though less decisive in its language, would ultimately lead t o th e same result. We mean the categorical reply, said to have been made by the Emperor Alexander to the corn .plaints of the P or t e aga i ns t B aron S trogono ff. instead of reproving the conduct of his Minister, the Emperor is represented to have demanded complete satisfaction from the Porte for the in •sults offered to that distinguished and spirited individual, and to have allowed only eight days . for that satisfaction to be given. Should it be withholden at the termination of that period, the Baron, it is added, has orders to quit Constantinople, and the Russian troops assent _ bled on the Pruth, to enter Moldavia. As it is scarcely possible that Sultan Mahrnud, even if - willing himself, should possess sufficient influence over the people, and the fanatical Janissaries, to be able to give the satisfaction required, war be tween the two States appears inevitable. This information is derived from Vienna, and therefore entitled to some credit; for all that has hitherto proceeded from that quarter has. shewn that a ,wish existed somewhere to prevent intelligence favourable to the Greeks from transpiring. The appearanc e o f suc h a s t a t ement would conse quently imply a change in the views and opinions of those by whom the publication of in telligence is regulated. It is also remarkable, that the Petersburgh Journals of the 3d ult. should have announced that the retreat of the Greeks, who occupied Bucharest, was in accord ance with a settled plan, and should have cau tioned the public, before they judged 'of that operation, to wait its results. These indications are certainly not decisive, but they seem pre paratory to an open avowal and adoption of the Greek cause ; and what is perhaps still more im portant, by displaying themselves at once in the Austrian and Russian capitals, give fair reason to think that an understanding on the subject has taken place between the two Powers. [NEW TIMES.I Letters were received yesterday morning from the Consul-General at Con .tantinople to the 2d July, and from the Consul at Smyrna to the 26th June. They -are of a satisfactory nature, and ; furnish direct contradiction - to the continued fic tions which have recently filled the ,coluMns of the French Journals. Indeed upon this subject we,cannot caution our readers fro much against a ready credence of the accounts which proceed from that capital, for it is perfectly evident that for some time past a continued fabrication of falsehoods has been adopted for the purpose of Affecting the Government Rentcs, thus present ing an • advantageous opportunity for certain speculators to take the new Loan. All the most frightful accounts which have been re ceived-- respecting Turkey -. have proceeded from France; the . burning of Smyrna was the first,.and every successive post has brouk,, , lit Accounts of an equality alarming nature. Ac cording to the above-mentioned letters from Constantinople, the fears of a war bet ween Rus sia and Turkey are entirely at an end. The Em peror has answered the representations of the Ottoman Porte by a communication, the contents .of which although not altogether known, are be lieved to be of a nature to consolidate peace and amity between the two Powers. He is said to have expressed his displeasure at the conduct of his Ambassador, Baron Strogonoff, and his in tention of immediately recalling him.—W e give the following extract of •a letter, of which we have been favoured with a sight : " CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 2.—We have not written to you under such pleasant feelings; as the intelligence which it is now our duty to communicate, affords us. All the attempts of the Russian Authorities to provoke the vengeance of the Otto man Government, have entirely failed ; and it is with infinite satisfaction we find that the indignities which they have been continually offering, were not sanctioned by their Government. An express has been received by the Porte containing a commu nication from the Court of St. Petersburg, in answer to the re presentations of this Government. The Contents have not been publicly made known ; but were strong reason to believe that it contains confidential. assura%ces of amity, and a decided disapproval of the conduct of Baron Strogonoff; who will be im mediatelyre-called. You may 'easily conceive the general satis faction this has given, wlaieli is rendered the more pleasing by the expectation that this good understanding between the two Courts will lead to a mediation between the Turks and the Greeks, and prevent a recurrence of the horrible atroities which of late it has been our painful task to narrate." • [BRITISH PRESS.] We learn, on the authority of a private letter from Vienna, that the ; Emperor Alexander has returned an answer to the Remonstrance which the Porte had transmitted to him complaining of the conduct of Baron StrOgonoff, but not in a tone likely to 'appease the resentment of the angry Sultan. The whole' contents of the answer have not transpired, but it is understood that the Emperor Alexander has required a complete sa tisfaction for the insults offered to his Ambas sador, and that only eight days have been al lowed to the Porte to consider of its answer.— The Ambassador, in the mean time, has received instructions to leave the dominions of Turkey if the satisfaction required be not granted, and the Commanders of the Russian army that now rests upon the frontiers of Moldavia have received sealed orders, which they are -not to open before a certain day. We are not apprised , of the nature of the satisfaction required, but in the Vienna letter a doubt•is very properly suggested whether the Sultan possess sufficient power over his fanatical soldiery and people as would enable. him to acquiesce in the demands of Russia. A despotic Government is powerful only over individuals ; it can oppress its subjects singly and "separately to the utmost height off' its caprice; but it must ever truckle to the mob, be the mob military or otherwise, and so must it on:Ate with .the imbecile Government of Turkey, should the apprehensions or the policy of the Sultan and his Divan lead them to embrace a line of conduct which it might not please the rabble to pursue. The wishes of the troops and of the people of Turkey have, under similar cir cumstances, been usually expressed in a manner equally rapid and explicit. The Sultan and his Vizier are knocked on the head, and of\er the ordinary course of murder and pillage, the reins of government are committed to some new pup pets, upon whom the conduct of their predeces sors with respect to the particular measure in contemplation is expected to operate as a nega tive example. [MORNING HERALD:I THE FUNDS.—Yesterday the Market opened at 744.. Immense sales by some principal brokers were effected at that price ; a temporary de pression was the consequence ; and at twelve o'clock Consols were reduced about 4 per . cent. After that the Bulls rallied and continued to purchase largely till one, when a re-action took place, 'and Consols reached 75, with a s Or' market. The House are considered Bears to a large amount, and what is rather in favour of improvement, there is no continuation to the pre sent Account. There were, no foreign arrivals, nor any reports worthy of attention upon 'Change. The Russian declaration of hostilities against the Porte, so confidently reported by the Bears, vanished into air without answering the purpose of the fabricators. From the present aspect of the market, Stock may be considered as gene rally improving. The French Funds, it is rather singular, are something better in the face of a lean.—Prices yesterday ,at four o'clock Consols 74A to i 75 Reduced - d 4 Four per Cent- 944 i Five per Cent. Consols for Account ' 741 to 754 [THE TIMES.] ORDNAI , ICE.—We think it worth while to call the attention of the public to the following state ment sent to us from Sheerness, which we give implicit - confidence to,. as an instance of what is to be expected in the way of retrenchment.— All the officers, even those of but a few years' service, are to be put on half-pay, whilst the greater part of the men, after a whole life spent in the service, are turned off without considera tion : and it has been particularly observed that every man who gave. evidence in the late inquiry. on the conduct of th e st ore keeper and other officers respecting the peculation of public coals, wood, &c. have been selected . and punished.in that way, perhaps for telling the truth : " SHEERNESS, AUGUST 1, 1821.—The Ordnance Depart ment at Sheerness is broken up ; the officers and clerks (all freemen of Queenborough) are put on half pay, and the foreman' and workmen, some of whom have been bet Ween 20 and 30 years in that service, discharged without a shilling, or an hour's notice to obtain employ.—lt is not three years since Mr. Wm. Akid, the storekeeper at this station, was superannuated on 5001. per annum, and a general promotion in consequence took place in this office, as also the appointment, for the first time, (in any office under Government), of one of the clerks, Mr. James Batchelor, now, put on half pay. Query—Could not this establishment have been broken up at that time as well as at present ? The amount of the superannuation to the store keeper alluded to above, and the half pay to the others, is from 1,2001. to 1,3001. per annum." rmo R.NING CHRONICLE.] We are told by the advocates of the Bridge street Association, that " if the Association he strong to prosecute, the law is far stronger for the just protection of the accused ; and so long as the ordeal of Grand and Petty Juries is to be gone through, and the integrity of the Bench re mains as a shield to the defendant, we must look upon this objection as a mere pretext—the impo tent reclamation of conscious and trembling guilt against the energy which would assist in bringing it to merited punishment."—lt is very true the ordeal of Grand and Petty Juries is to be gone -through, and the integrity of the Bench remains as a shield to the defendant; but a defendant may, notwithstanding this protection, be ruined by the efforts of such an Association, even before a Jury has pronounced upon his guilt or in nocence. Of this we have a proof in the case of Benbow, lately the subject of so much triumph in the Ministerial Journals. BenboYs guilt or innocence has not yet been declared by a Jury of his countrymen, but, he was compelled to shut up shop, and go to prison,- from inability to find the sort of bail required by one of the Six Acts. But putting the inability to find bail out of the question, the successful issue of a pro secution does not indemnify the defendant for the expence Nwhich it occasions. Now, a combination like the Bridge-street Association, may involve any writer or publisher in the most complete ruin, by a series of prosecu tions, in all of which his innocence has been pronounced by Juries of his Countrymen. But to appreciate the sort of ordeal which a Special Jury is, our Readers have only to attend to the Report of the Committee of the Common Council, on the State of the Special jury List of the City of London. In that great City only 485 persons were found fit for Special Juries, and in a number of Sittings 274 only were summoned, while the mass of business was done by less than 100 per sons. Of so small a body as this, the s en ti men t s of each i n di v id ua l may easily be known ; and the Master of the Crown Office can, if he please, on every occasion, pack such a Jury as shall convict whomsoever it is wished to convict. The result of every Special Jury Trial may, therefore, be said to be altogether dependent ou the disposition of that Officer, who is placed be yond all control or responsibility. The Mary and Elizabeth packet, employed in the carrying of salmon between Beauly and Montrose, sailed from the latter place on the 16th instant, and, while in the river at Beauly, her boat drifted, when the master, Mr. JOAN JAMIE, stripped himself, and jumped into the water, to recover it, but unfortunately sunk, never to rise more. STATE OF TUItKEY. Intelligence was received -yesterday from va rieus parts of Turkey. It is contained in letters of the 26th of June from Smyrna, the 27t4.from Salonica, and the 2d of July from Constantinople; and having been conveyed by an express . from the latter city to Vienna, is the most recent in formation that has reached this country. Up to the 2d of July, at Constantinople, the communications between the Porte and the Rus sian Ambassador remained suspended. The lat ter had not received his instructions from Peters burgh, and it was thought that it would be the middle of the month before they could arrive. The insurrection in Wallachia is now ascer tained to be wholly suppressed. Advices had been received, announcing that Ypsilanti was wandering as a fugitive among the mountains on the frontier of Transylvania. It is said that in the last engagement he was able to maintain with the Turks, several Franks, officers of his staff, were made prisoners, among whom were three Russians. Nothing has transpired, however, to show that they had receivetlthe sanction of their own Government. It may be mentioned merely as one proof, among many others, of the warm interest inspired into the subjects of Russia by the struggle of the Greeks for independence. In naval affairs a great effort seems now to be making by the Turkish Government. Another division of the fleet, the strength of which, how ever, is not stated, has passed the Dardanelles, with the expectation of immediately commencing hostile operations in the Archipelago. This-ar mament sailed, it is said, immediately on the arrival of intelligence at Constantinople that the armed vessels of the Pacha of Egypt had an chored at Rhodes, and were ready to co-operate with them in an attack on the naval force of the Greeks. An Algerine squadron, destined for the same object, was also expected in the *Ar chipelago, and on the junction of the three fleets great reliance was placed at Constantinople for regaining the ascendancy at sea, on which the issue of the contest so materially depended. 4n those narrow seas, which are swarming with Greek vessels, it is not likely that this can be effected without some previous encounter. In the Morea, which has been considered the strong hold of the Greek insurrection, their af fairs appear to languish for want of enterprise.— They had not been able to effect the reduction of any of the fortresses, nor by their superiority in numbers, and efficient naval force, to starve the Turks into a surrender. At Patras the Turks appear more than once to have ventured out of the castle, but the arrival of a reinforcement of the Greeks, and the appearance' of a Greek squadron in the gulf, had agaiii forced them to the shelter of their fortifications. The town is now wholly destroyed ; and the English Consul, after remaining 'to the latest moment compatible with his safety, has been compelled to quit it. . At Smyrna, the period from the 21st to the 26th of June had passed without any new out rages, and the city was tolerably tranquil. The embargo continued, and a French sloop of war, which arrived off Smyrna, was refused permission to enter the bay by the Pacha. The Greek in habitants of Smyrna, who, during the - dreadful scenes from the 3d to the 19th, took refuge on board the vessels, had been induced, by assurances of protection from the Pacha, to return to their homes. They were far, however, from placing implicit confidence in his promises ; but their immense numbers, and the inconveniences of their crowded situation, with the difficulty of procur ing subsistence, placed them in a choice of evils. Great distrust is said to exist at Smyrna between the Pacha and the Chiefs of the Janissaries, who regard him with little respect. The arrival of messengers from Constantinople, though their dispatches were not made known, had rendered it probable that a reinforcement of troops were on their march, who would confirm his authority. At Nymphe, a village about five leagues from Smyrna, the insurrectionary spirit had appeared, but the rest of the vicinity was quiet. The most urgent necessity appears to exist for a strong naval force in the Archipqlago, to protect the European commerce in that quarter, as the Greeks, according to the statements of the foreign con suls, are carrying on piracy to a most ruinous ex tent, with little discrimination in the objects of their plunder, or respect for any flag. Salonica on the 27th of June was in a state of , the greatest alarm, and seems to be on the eve of a catastrophe more fatal than that of Smyrna. An insurrection of the Greeks had broken out in the week preceding, throughout the extensive coun try of Ca lamaria, of the population of which they form a very great majority. A contest of the most ferocious description had arisen there.be tween them and the Turkish troops, the latter of whom were worsted and driven into Salouica. That city was crowded with them, and under the irritation they felt against the Greeks, which they imparted to the Turkish inhabitants, the greater part of whom were armed, the most frightful excesses against the Christians were contemplat ed. This dreadful situation was aggravated by the appearance of a Greek fleet hi the harbour, who were making demonstrations of au attack on the Morning Paper.) A Grand High Mass and Te Deuid was cele brated yesterday, in' the chapel of the Portu guese Embassy, in South-street, Grosvenor square, in the presence of the Ambassador, seve ral of the Foreign Ministers, and Catholic Nobi lity, for the safe arrival of the KING in Lisbon. The Rev. Mr. FRYER, principal Chaplain, offi ciated at the Altar, attended by two .Priests in superb vestments. Mr. V. Novello presided at the organ. The Mass was composed by Mozart, and the Te Deum by David Perez.. The Solo parts we►e admirably suns by Mrs. Hunt, Signora Corri, Miss Cramer, Messrs. Evans, F. Novello, Gattie, and Boyle, and the chorussas by the other Gentlemen. of the establishment, which afforded a delightful treat to the lovers of Sacred Music. Boston Haven, which has for some time past been . so blocked up, that it was impossible for large vessels to sail into that Port, is about to be cleared at a great expence, so that ships of a con siderable tonnage may euter it with safety. I. VW INTMLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCII, AJG. 2. gCIIOLEY V. COLES. This was an action brought under the statutes the 9th of Ann and 47th Geo. 111., to recover a penalty of 501. for an illegal "'transaction con nected with the coal trade. It seems that the ships engaged in that trade are furnished with sworn meters (in order to the delivery of their cargoes) upon their arrival in the river. The meter is appointed as soon as the cargo of the particular vessel appears, by the books of the office, to be sold ; and the presence of a certain certificate put on board at Newcastle or else where, by the shipper, is necessary to the proof of such a sale. In order to prevent vessels from obtaining undue priority in the appointment of the meter, by sending up their certificates (by post or otherwise,) before they are actually in the pool and ready for delivery, a penalty of 501. is imposed upon any master who shall part with his.shipper's certificate before his vessel is to the westward of Blackwall ; it was for the vecovery of that penalty (half going to the informer, half to the King,) that the. present proceeding was taken. The undue delivery of the certificate was proved, and the Jury found a verdi i ct for the plaintiff—Damages, 501. The Court, on its rising, adjourned to the Sit tings before Michaelmas Term. CONSISTORY-COURT, Auc. 1. RUDVN AGAINST - SMITH', FALSELY CALLED nunux. In this ease Lord STOWELL gave sentence this- r.— h is dismissed tie libel asinsuflicient to authorize him in pronouncing the sentence of nullity which was prayed for.— At the same time the Learned Judge desired to be distinctly .understood as not intending, by that dismission, to lay down any general rule in similar eases, as he was proceeding entirely Upon the peculiar circumstances under which the present matter came before the Court. TIM MARQUIS OF DONEGAL. V. MAY, FALSELY STYLED . MAnCniONESs OF 'DONEGAL.. Dr. PHILLIMQRE was heard in reply to the objection which had been taken by Dr. Saiabey to the jurisdiction of this Court, with regard to the citation issued, by it against the Marchioness of Donegal. The Learned Counsel .observed, that he understood the argument of his Learned Friend to found itself upon the 106th canon • and that of his other Learned Friend (Dr. Lushington) to be &rived from the statute 23d Henry VIII., technically termed the Statute of Citations.— His Learned Friend did appear to him to have put somewhat of a wrong construction upon it, however, inasmuch as he spoke of it as one enacted for the protection of the jurisdic tions ; whereas it rather seemed to him (Dr. Phillimore) to have' been intended for the protection of the parties cited. - Since that statute had passed, it had always been held by the Courts which had had to put a construction upon it, that the appearance of a party to a citation cured all defects in the jurisdiction ; and this was the principle upon which he meant to meet his Learned Friends. The immediate object of the statute was to correct the extravagant pretensions of the Archbishop of Canterbury; not so much as Archbishop of Canterbury as the " Legates Latus" of the See of Rome. He admitted that the wordi of the Statute bore, that no . person should be cited o u t o f th e jorisdiction and diocese in which he might happen to dwell ; • but in a 'very curio u s a n on y mous e ase , which his Lordship would find in Etty's Reports, p. 99, it was said, " it was alio observed by Richards, that if a man subMits himself out of his diocese, he never can have his prohibition, because the cita tions have not issued according to the 23d Hen. VIII. His submisiion shall validate the jurisdictiOn." There was also a case in Gale, by which it appeared that a party could not plead the said . act against a jurisdiction whi c h h e h a d ac k now l e d ge d . by appearing to. The fact seemed to be, that the statute did not take away the jurisdiction, but gave the parties a right to dispute it. And -to this effect was the well-known case of Laugh= and Langhatn ' which was decided by . the Court On the 21st of June, PlO3. There the party cited was of the parish of St. Dunstan in the East, which was out of the Court's jurisdiction ; yet the Court held that the defect might be ab solved upon the principle now contended for. It was a maxim, that a citation which was not valid per se produced in the Spiri tual Courts no effect ; so that if a process were had upon such a citation, the sentence would be null and void. (Ayliffe, p. 17G.) But it was otherwise where the party chose to appear to such a citation ; for afterwards he was not competent to dis.- pute the jurisdiction. So Gibson, in his Codex, commenting largely upon the statute of Henry VIII., observed, "If a man is cited out of his diocese, and appears, and thereby submits himself to the jurisdiction out of which such citation travels, lie shall have no benefit of. the st oute of citations (23 Ben But there was a stronger authority . in Gale : and he knew not whence lie could derive a more effective one, particu larly upon subjects connected with the canon law. In his 40th observation, in the - chapter, " de citationibus," he advanced the same principle as Ayliffe : but expressly declared, that the case was otherwise where a party appeared to a citation, " namque, per comparationem, citatio convalidatur." But, besides that in the present suit, instituted by the Marquess, of Donegal, his Marchioness had appeared : if any objection to the jurisdiction of the court was to be sustained, it must be an objection com ing from one of those two parties. No such objection had been taken ; and he doubted the competency of his Learned Friends to raise it on behalf of the next in kin. Dr. SWAEEY here submitted to the Court that the argument which he had before offered, founded upon the 106th canon, was strengthened and confirmed by the 94th canon. That ex pressly restrained the Dean of the Arches or the official of the Audience Court, as it ,was then called, or the Ordinary, the Archbishop, his Vicar-General, or officials, from citing parties out of their dioceses before them, excepting only in the cases excepted by the 23d of Henry VIII. The Learned Counsel then contended, that no objection taken on these grounds, either under that Statute, or under the 94th or the - 10iith canon, would be good. in law. So it was ruled in the case of Dr. Lewis, Mi niiter of the Parish of Allhallows in the Wall, London, who was proceeded against on the 17th of October, 1674, (on which day the citation was served), for marrying clandestinely. In June, 1675, sentence was given against hint in the Arches Court. He appealed to the delegate; and the cause was as signed to be heard in .1676 ; but in the meanwhile.the Doctor prepared and finally prosecuted his appeal against :the original jurisdiction. The case was exceedingly well argued at the time ; Dr. Lloyd and Dr. Masters having been selected for that purpose by the society. The same inference, as to the validity of an objection taken to tie jurisdiction of the Court, after the appearance of a party, was to be derived from " Darby and Cousens." That was a tithe case, where the question arose Upon a certain inodus ; it was alleged that the quantities had not been duly set forth ; but the parties proceeded against in the Arches Court refusing to give in his answers, the cause was finally.reMitted to the Court below, from whence it had been brought up. Dr. Plisr,ermonE was disposed to think that the last case was rather favoUrable to his own argument than otherwise.__ As to the language of the 94th canon, it could prove nothing in the matter. now befote the Court; for it cle a rly a ppli e d only to the regul a tion or the Arches and Audience Courts, providing merely that none should be cited therein Who were not dwellers in the Archbishop's diocese, or else in his .peeu liars.. The words were " then dwelling," Sec. Yet in many cases the Court would not begoYerned even by this rule ; fo r so it was in the case of " Tenduc ci and another;" for Tenducci was at Naples during the greater part of the proceedings which were had in that suit. The suit was (hr nullity of marriage, by reason of his impotency. Having thus disposed, as he trusted, of the objection against the Court's jurisdiction, with respect to the Marchioness of Donegal, upon the principle that " citatio, ptr comparationem in curia, convalidaturf it remained to be as certained how that objection operated with respect to the party sin whose behalf it had been taken. If this gentleman (Mr. Chichester) intervened at all, and indeed he disputed his liabi lity to be made a party, he must be content to take the case as he found it. He at least was within the.. juriSdiction of the. Court ; and no doubt the Court would rule that it was not com petent for him to raise an objection as on the port of another person, namely, Lady Donegal.. As to that lady, there was ro_ thing to prove that she was not within the jurisdiction of the Court ; and for the reasons already alleged by him, he (Dr:Phil limore) trusted that the objection which had been urged could not be sustained. Dr. JESSE ADDAMS, on the same side, entered into a short argument for the purpose of showing that not only the 94th and 106th, but several of the preceding and following canons, relat ed entirely to the judicial regulations of the Arches and Au dience Courts ; that upon the authprity of the cases cited by his Learned Lcader, it was obvious that the simple appearance of the party to the citation was sufficient to found the jurisdiction, and that therefore this could not be contended to be a proceed ing CORAM NON JUDICE. This objection, in fact, was strictly a plea in abatement ; and as such, one that ought to have been taken advantage of before issue was joined in the case. Lord STOWELL felt that the stream of authorities was in fa your of the binding a party. by his voluntary appearance ;' and therefore was of opinion that the jurisdiction'of the Court in this matter was established. Dr. LUSIIINC TON had no difficulty' in saying, That it would be very desirable that Mr. Arthur Chichester should have 'the Solemn judgment of some Court or other in this case. At the same time he wished to consult for a few minutes with his LearnL ed Friend Dr. Swabey, before he addressed ,his Lordship (if he should feel that course to be necessary), having certainly anti= cipated a different opinion from the Court upon the question ,of jurisdiction • • The two Learned Counsel-then withdrew for a short tirhe..arid on their return Dr. SWABEY informed his Lordship," that Air. Chichester; feeling the matter to be one of extreme ;importance, intended, with great deference.and . respect .for this Coitrt, to appeal, hiA protest being overruled, to some other Court. It might be the Deler:atesor a tribunal of another character.- Under these cir cumstances, neither himself; nor his Learned Etientb, ri.it it a duty to address one word more to his Lordship Upon this matter. After some observations lion, the other Counsel, the allega tion of the Marquis of Donegal wasadmitted without opposition. • ,• LAIIOVREE AGAINST tAnounEr. In the last Session but one of the Court, this cause was con cluded. • The. amended libel being brought in on the part of Njr, Labouree, proceeding against his wife in a suit of separa tion and divoree,-by reason of. adultery. The libel was admit ted ; and his Lordship pronounced the sentence prayed for, • HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. His Lordship then presided in the Admiralty Court. • THE SHIP PRINCE REGENT. This was the case of a, bottomry bond, in the hypothecation of which the freight was omittod. Lord . STowELL- said, he" sitould direct that the freight in this case be bronslit in, and subjectd to contribution in an average Upon the ship, freight, and cargo. - In this case the freight 11 ::it been omitted in the hypothecation of the bond.: but he had no doubt of the Court's jurisdiction 'to . supply, the deficiency, which it now directed to be supplied. I,Tuquestionably the hypotheca tion ought to have included freight. The leihier—the person who advanced the money upon the bottomry un;- doubtedly elect to havethe cargo included ; for he was compe tent to elect upon what security he would hazard his adVancei• But he could not exclude ship and freight, for ship and freight were evidently the natural securities for the repayment of . his money, and the Court observed, that in directing. the freight to be added to the hypothecation, it was only strengthening the securities to which the lender was entitled. The bond was then ordered AO be' brought into the R eg istry of.the c curt, and,to be paid with interest and costs. THE SHIP . I . In this case a ship' s 'register was AITRORA delivered up by the Captain of the vessel to a party inaking : adv ances f er . rep a i rs done anti performed - to her in consequen ce of damages sustained at see --- The Captain drew upon the owners for the amount or part of the amount of the char ge S ; an d p ayment was refused by thern of the Captain's bill. This• was an application to the Court to grant an attachment ao . ainst the party holdin g th e ship's qr.' tificate of registry, so deposited with the lender of the monies expended in repairs by way ofsecurity ; and by him refused t° be delivered up until repayment of his disbursements. It tic rts contended on the one hand by Dr. Lushington, that the master ought to have taken up such monks in the regular way . . ul'o n bottomry ; but that he had no right to deliver up his ship's re" gister, nor the lender of the - cash to detan it. Dr. .le r, the other side,maintained,- that the Party advancing the trio Y was entitled to withhold the register, by way of lien upon ti-e owners for his advances. Lord STOWELL said, that as this was a new case, he s hould take sometime to consider of it.- Extract of a letter from C.
