THE COURT OF DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENG LAND TRADING to the EAST INDIES having on the 6th and 18th duty last issued Public Advertisements, giving no tice, that measures had been adopted which might lead to the discharge of a large portion of the existing INDIAN LOANS, and that the Court had authorized their Bengal Go yet 'intent to open a new Six per Cent. Loan in lndirt, to Which, the then present Six per Cent. obligations, of - ISd 1 , would be transferable, and whereas, by, advices recently F - eived from India, the COurt of Directors are informed, that bn the tst May, 18 , 21, the Governor-General in Council at Fort William gate notice, that the Promissory Notes' of the Bengal Government, standing on the General Register of the Regfstered Debt .of that Presidency, bearing date the 30th June, 1811, and numbered 1 to 10,000 inclusive, would be discharged' at' the General Treasury, on Tuesday, the 31st July last, on which day the interest thereon would cease; but that any of the Notes advertised for payment would, until further orders, be received in transfer to the New Loan 'then opened. And whereas the Court's intention of opening a New Loan in India, as set forth in their beforemerrtioned Advertisements of the 6th and 18th July last, has thus been anticipated by the Bengal Government. The Court of Directors do herebygi re notice, that the mea sures in contemplation brthe Court, and adverted to in their said Advertisements of the 6th and July last, are to be considered as'entirely void, and of none effect. And whereas in the Advertisement published by the Bengal Government, in the Calcutta Gazette on the let May last, notice was given that transfers of the notes advertised to be paid off to the New Loan, were to be received until further orders; and by the t Ith clause of the Conditions of the New Loan, the acconnts of the said Loan are to be closed on the 31st March, 15:22. And whereas Proprietors of the Promissory Notes adver tised to be paid off, resident in Europe, may not be enabled to convey instructions to India for the transfer of their pro, perty into the New Loan, before the said Loan shall have been closed. The Court of Directors do hereby give notice, that they have directed their Bengal Government to permit the transfer of ail Promissory Notes of the 30th June, 1811, to the Loan of the Ist May, 1821, which Notes shall he tendered in India on or before the 3oth June, 1322. And whereas it appears by the 4th clause of the Conditions of the said Loan of the Ist May, 1821, that the Proprietors of Promissory Notes transferred to that Loan, resident in Eu rope, might, if they required it, be paid the interest on their Notes up to the 31st December, 1821, by Bills on the Court of Directors at twelve. months' date, and at 2s. 6d. the sicca rupee. The Court of Directors, in view to the further accommo dation of the Proprietors resident in Europe, do hereby fur ther give notice, that those Creditors, bona fide resident in Europe, who shall have transferred, or who shall transfer, in India, their Bonds of the Loan of 30th June, 1811, to the Loan of lit May, 1821; by means of their Agents, duly authorised, on ur before the 30th June next, shall have the option of e ' ceiving their interest for another half year, viz. from the 31st December, IEI2I, to the 30th June, 1822, by Bills on the Court of Directors, at twelve months' date, and 2s. 6d. the sicca rupee ; the Bills to he drawn specifically payable to the absent Proprietor, or his order, and not to the order of any Agent or Agents whatsoever; but those absent Creditors who shall have,required, or who shall require, the payment of the principal of their obligations of 30th June, 1811, in cash, will not be entitled to the extended option of remittance of interest hereby conceded to subscribing Absentees; all ac cruing interest due to them to the period when they may have demanded their principal, shall be paid in cash only at the Treasury in Calcutta. The Court of Directors do further give . notice, that the Notes of absent Creditors who shall omit to signify their in tentions at the Presidency of Fort William definitively, with respect to the Promissory Notes of 30th June, 1811, on or before the 30th June, 1822, will remain without interest from that period. The Court of Directors have also resolved, that if the Ben gal Government shall see no objection to the measure, Cre ditors who have subcribed, or who may hereafter subscribe to the Loan of the Ist May, 1821, may, if they think proper, employ the Agency of the Accountant-General and Sub- Treasurer, at the several Presidencies in India, in procuring the remittance to England of the Interest on their obligations, by means of Bills of Exchange on the Court, to be pur chased in the market at the current price of the day, it being distinctly understood that no responsibility shall at tach to the East India Company for the acts of those Officers, in virtue of the authority which may be thus given to them. The Conditions of the Loan of the Ist May, 1921, may be seen by application at the Office of the Accountant- General, at this House. JOSEPH DART, Secretary. £AO,OOO NEXT TUESDAY !

Spaniards, -on the Island of St. Maria, Coast of Chili, on the' 24th of February - last, under circum stances of the most agg*ated barbarity, by which deplorable event his Widow and Orphan Children are left entirely des titute of the means of Subsistence. • HIS Melancholy CatasfrophC - occurred on • JR ' voyage to the South -- Sea Fishery,—Captai Har.Es sailed from England in the-Ship .o.lfley, about themnonth of October 120, and having doubled C,ape Horn, after a rough passage, early in 1821, he put •into• the Island of St. Maria, which is uninhabited, on the Coast' of Chili, to re-fit.—On the 24th-bf Febniary, about' 10 A. M., several men were seen on the. beach,. ank Capf.• Hales - stir:prising them to be Spaniards, 4 who had come over frOm.•thc Main, went on shore with his Second Mater, Armoirfer, - • and four . Seamen, armed, for the purpose of proctiring fresh provisions. The party was seen to land,'and join the Spaniards, who appeared'to be very friendly with them ; they shortly afterward retired from the beach to gether, and it was supposed that Capt.' Hales was in treaty with them for provisions, and was gone over to the South Bay to look at them. Towards sun -set; the Captain not having re turned, the crew became alarmed and a boat was despatched to search for them, which returned with inforination, that on their approach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and from their movements more were supposed to be concealed, and it being near dark, it was deemed Most prudent to return to the ship without venturing to land. The following morning no tidings having been received of the play on shore, at day-light the Chief Mate manned and armed two boats, for the purpose of endeavouring to find them ; on coming near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting on the beach, and on landing, discovered him to be Thomas Moore the Armourer, covered with blood, and severely wound= ed ; he was perfectly sensible, and informed them, that on their first landing, the Spaniards appeared to be friendly, giving them bread •and meat, and induced them to accompany them some distance from the shore, where they were suddenly sur, rounded by 40 or 50 men armed, on which the Captain re solved to return to his boat; which was refused; except on con dition of their delivering up their arms—They were compelled to comply with these terms.—The Spaniards then treacherously bound them, two and two, and carried them about three miles into the island, and when dark, brought them back near to the beach, among some bushes—stripped them—and cruelly stab bed them in cold blood, himself alone surviving, whom they left for dead, he having received 23 wounds in his body, and two sabre cuts, one on each side of the neck. He was perfectly sensible, and was immediately taken on board, where the Sur geon examined him, and found his wounds mortal. The boat had no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen coin-. mg towards the beach, and soon afterwards a man presented himself dressed in the Captain's clothes, waving his hat for a boat to come on shore; he was accompanied by three or four, who appeared to be Officers in green uniforms, with cocked hats and sabres ; others were discovered from the mast head lying behind the beach. The leader of the party appeared so much like Captain Hales, that the .Armourer was questioned whe ther he was positive that the Captain was killed, when he assured them he was, and that the Captain or leader of the Spaniards so much resembled Captain Hales, that he had remarked it when on shore. The Offley immediately weighed anchor, and stood for Conception, and at . 5 n. M. the Armourer became much worse, and ' at 9 the same evening died.—An instance of more atrocious barbarity perhaps never - occurred ; Capt. Hales, the Second Mate, Armourer, and four men perished, in this most inhuman transaction ; Capt. Hales has left a Widow and seve ral Children totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to obtain which, this appeal is made with confidence to the bene volence of the Public, convinced that they will humanely con tribute to the relief of an unfortunate family, who have been deprived, by this unforeseen and calamitous event, of their only support, and who have thus been reduced from respectable and comfortable circumstances, to the greatest poverty and distress. .SUBSCRIPTIONS will be thankfully received by Sir JAMES ESDAILE and Co.

COURT OF CRANUERY, Nov. 16. TABERT Y. TENANT AND NESBITT. Mr. HART, for the plaintiff; moved for anin4unction to re. , • strain the•defendants from putting to sea the ship Apollo, at present lying in the port of London. The plaintiff was the owner 'of 3'-Bths of the ship, and the defendants were.the.owners of the remaining 5-13ths. The ship was 'formerly 'coMmanded by the plaintiff, but Nesbitt had now transferred.the command of the vessel to the other defendant Tenant. The defendants had lately put new upper works on he "ship, which the plairitia' was convinced she could. not carry, on account of the rotten state of her hull, and they were about to send her on a voyage which the plaintiff conceived she was hot capable of performing. By Admiralty law, if a part owner of a ship was unwilling that the vessel should proceed on a voyage, the other part owner or owners had a right to carry her out, but at their own risk. All that the plaintiff desired, therefore, was, that the defendants Might be restrained from putting the ship to sea until they had - furnished him with an indemnity for the risk of the voyage. 'The LORD CHANtELLOR grafted the injunction.' pn ICE SEVEIcPtNC prosecution, that the perjury was assigned upon a certain affi davit, by which the defendants swore to a debt of 1,0001.: and under whicii a writ of ca. sa. *as sited out against the prose cutor:' When the defendants came to put in their affidavits, those which they presented appeared to be unstamped. 'The COURT granted•time to amend the error, and order 4 that the matter should stand over until to.mofr ow morning.- r' THE KING V. HENRY COLLINS. [Further Particulars.] On the'motion of the Somert on- G the defendant,r who had been convicted of an aggravated assault at the late s sizes,for Snsseki was now brought up to reecive the judgment of the Court. The case was tried before . Mr. Justice Bunnotro ft,. and it appeared from the evidence at the trial, that the defendant had been a midshipman in the same ship with the prosecutor, Dani e l Spursham, now an officer of the preventive service. The de fendant for some-reason not - explained to the Court had h;;,2 discharged the service. The assault,wAs committed near Ha.st-, inns, under the following circumstances i—The prosecutor was riding,.and he was met hy the defendant, who struck his-hbrse with a stick. " The prosecutor made some remonstrance,. anti the defendant then repeatedly struck him across the facqnd then left him, saying, " You may now go tollastings,.and tell ' what a d—d good thrashing I have given you." On thiS evi dence the defendant was found guilty. The CHIEF JUSTICE asked if 'the defendant had any affi davit or remarks to offer to the Cqurt. The defendant, in reply, Said he had ft case of a strong cha racter to offer , to their Lordships' attention in mitigation of pu • nishment, but that, as he was too poor to pay Counsel, iia feared that its effect would be loSt. He'said that the assault bid been committed in his own defence,; that he was first struck by the prosecutor; and he denied entertaining any towards him. He then offered some certificates of his good character, and. an affidaVit front Win. Illackmore Noble, a Lieutenant in the Navy, who stated that he had known. the defendant since the year leo6, and that he had been a good-tempered man and not disposed to quarrel during that period. The SOLICITOR GENERAL 4fiefiy, addressed the Court in aggravation of punishment ; and Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the sentence of the Court, that the defendant, for this offence; should b.: imprisoned in the custody of the ,Marshal of the Marshalsea for the space of three months, and at the expiration of that period that he shall find security to keep the peace, himself in one - hundred pounds and two sureties in fifty pounds each, and that he should further be imprisoned until he had given those securities. PITT V. THE RIGHT HON. WILLIAM 11USKISSON, H.P. AND OTHERS. As the Court was about to rise, Mr. Pitt, the plaintiff in this case, made an application for a rule to chew cause why a Mandamus should not be directed to the Judge of the Palace Court, commanding him to give a new trial. Our readers will recollect that Mr.l'itt brought an action in the Palace Court for 41. odd, mixed up with a charge of conspiracy against the dd. fendants. The grcund upon which this motion was made was, that the Learned Judge had misdirected ;the Jury' as to the law of the case. Mr. Pitt said, that as he could not move ibr a new trial, this was the only redress left him.' The Court refused the application, as there was no example of a similar one. They could only direct a Judge - to try a cause, but they could not compel, him to,find a verdict one way or the other. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Nov. I. The Court sat at Westminster till' past 12 o'clock, but to case of any public interest occurred. :Ir. Justice PARK went at one o'clock to Guildhall to hear Nii Prius cases. The lowing was the only one wortlynotice:— . . • RICHAItbSC , N V. lAMB. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the case to the Jury. This was an action of trover to recover a dressing case, the property of the plaintiff, which the defendant nowlili‘galfy - retained in his possession. The dressing case was splendidly fitted up with silver gilt ornaments, and was valued at the sum Cl'. 1601. ; die ink-stand was of silver, valued nt 401. The, plaintilf was an officer in the army, and these articles had been purclik;ed tlrs. Mestaer, from the defendant, for the purpose of pr:2-. renting them to the plaintiff. He had since been oblip:tt take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. The Learned !1:-.'rez.::r called • Charles Cox, who swore that he went to the shop' of the de fendant for the purpose of purchasing a dressing-eiise, when the• case in question was shewn him, with the 'crest of Captain Ri chardson on it, the defendant observing that it was perhaps tot; -'• •' dear for the witness. Ile subsequently served a notice on defendant, desiring him to give up the desk, and offering to pay the amount of the money due, and in tue event of a refusal threat-fling an action of trover. The defendant demailded 11431; which the witness being unable to pay, the dcfendant refused to let him have the articles. On his cross-exarnination ' he denied that the-plai t tiff h a d ever represented himself to be the • son of 31rs. 31estaer, or that that Lady was a Princess. He had been. informed that the desk had been purchased by Mrs. Mestaer to present to the plaintiff, and that the defendant had earned it to' Mrs - . 31est" account. Mr. Hague was called. He proved that he was the solicitor to Mrs. Mestaer, the residuary•legatee under toe, will of Mr. Mestaer. He called on the defendant.. in order to arrange ,tkie account between him and Mrs. Mestacr; the witness then' prb_ tested against the case and inkstand, being carried to Mrs. Mes tacr's account, but the defendant persisted in his declaration that Jll.s. M. was liable to hiin for it. . • Mr. Serjeant LENS, for the defendant, contended that th. , plaintiff had not proved his claim, even admitting that 3lrs. .liestaer had ordered the case in order to present it to Mr : L.,. ; Richardson_ yet after it had been-sent to that•l a dy' s house .„' "-..; about three days, the plaintiff called on the d ef e n d ant. and ,7 4. ~• $ 4, him, be (plaintiff) was sorry it had been sent, Mr Mr. 11elt*i 4 ^:;"',, was dead, and it was not likely it would be paid for then and he, therefore, requested the defendant to send fr.r it back gt a in, and keep it until he could pay for it. The Learned 'Seijeant insisted, that if the ease hat .been originally made on ac cunt ..; . of Mrs. 3lestaer, yet by the subsequent request of thetiotbriff, . I he had forfeited all claim to it, unless he could pay thAefend ant, for he had by that request created a lien for the debt due ... for the value of the case. .

This was a bill filed by the residuary legatee, praying, for a certain sum of money as incl u d e d in his legacy. The testator had given certain specific legacies, and then direeted that all his other effects should be sold, and the produce given to the plain tiff: After payment of all legacies, there remained a sum of money, besides saleable effects. The question was; whether . Money, which in its nature was not saleable, was conveyed by the expression " all other effects to be sold." The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that he could only decide by construction, and by acting upOn the most probable view of the testator. Money was not included in the expression " effects to be sold," but the testator having made a will, it could not be held that his property was to be disposed of as if he had died intestate. What had been saleable effects when the testator had made his will, might'have become money at the time of his death. Upon this construction the money was part of the resi duary legacy. No limitation could be given to the term " ef fects," as used in the will. The prayer of the bill was there fore granted, but the costs were ordered to be taken out of the estate. COURT OF KLNG'S BENCH, Nov. 15. SENTENCE ON MARY ANN CARLILE. [Further Particulars.] THE KING V. MAHN ANN CAIILILE. This was an indictment, preferred by the6ocle7; for the Sup pression of Vice, for the . publication of a blasphemous libel. The defendant (who is a sister of Mr. Carlile) was tried in July last, before Mr. Justice Best, at Guildhall. The Jury found - a verdict of Guilty. Mr.' Gu NEI now moved the judgment of.the Court. No affidavits were put in on either side. Mr. COOPER (who appeared for the defendant) submitted that it was for Mr. Gurney to begin. Mr. GURNEY submitted that his Learned Friend was mis taken. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Where judgment goes by. default, the prosecutor opens, because he has to state the facts to the Court ; but where the facts have been before a Jury, and where a verdict is found, it is for the defendant to begin. Mr. COOPER then addressed the Bench in mitigation. No one, he said, held in higher reverence than he did the purest religion which had ever spread its doctrines over the earth, but no man on earth could feel leSs apprehension of danger to that religion from efforts like those of the defendant. The judgment which their Lordships were about to deliver, would not (Mr. Cooper was sure) be in any degree inflamed by the contagion of that general odium which attached to the de - fendant's family ; but there was some danger, perhaps, that her sentence might be affected by an exaggerated view of the danger to be dreaded from her conduct. He begged, with humility, to remind the Court, that Porteus, Watson, Lardner, and a hundred others, all the warmest champions of the Christian religion, had depre cated prosecution against those who impugned it : he would refer their Lordships to the severe penalties which the family of Carlile were already suffering in support of their opinions ; and he trusted that the firmness with which those persons bore their punishment would at least be taken as evidence of the sincerity of their feeling. Mr. GURNEY (in aggravation) felt it unnecessary to detain their Lordships one moment with comments upon the character of the libel in question. Upon the conduct of the defendant few words would be sufficient. Whatever might be said as to sin cerity of opinion, he (Mr. Gurney) believed gain, sordid gain, to be the stimulating motive which had led her into crime.— Four distinct individuals—Carlile, his wife, his shopman, and his sister—had be e n t a ken, one a ft er another, from the shop in Fleet-street ; they had first been brought to trial, and subse quently to punishment. Penalty, it appeared, excited the de fiance of Carlile's family, instead of operating upon them as ex ample; the arm of offence was insolently set up and pitted against the arm of law; but the sentence of the Court (Mr. Gurney trusted) would prove to the world, that however ofl'ence might prevail for a time, the ann of law, in the long run, was the stronger. Mr. Justice BAN LEY (after deliberating with his *learned brothers) pronounced the sentence of the Court nearly in the folkiwing terms :—" Mary Ann Carlile, you stand h ere t o re ceive the judgment of the Court fora libel reflecting npon.the Old and New Testaments. Every subject of Great Britain is entitled to hold whatever opinion he pleases ; but none can be allowed to impeach established faith, or to endeavour to 'un settle the belief of others. Your Counsel, in his very judiefons address to the Court, has • treated your opinions as erroneous; and I believe that every man who thinks upon the subject will come, sooner or later, to the same conclusion. For myself, I can only say that, after much deliberation and research, such is the conclusion at which I . have arrived. The Court has no fears for the safety of the Christian religion. It does not be lieve that the rock upon which Christianity stands can ever be shaken by exertions like yours. But the Court has a duty to perform to society • to the poor, who have not the means o f ex amination: and to the young, who may neglect to use the means. To those persons, whoseFr e eatest enemy you are, the Court is bound to give its protection : the example of your family has terred you from offending ; and it would be dreadful inc for your particular profit, you could be allowed to. poi minds of a whole community-The Court, taking into deration the circumstances of your case, does order and ad' that you, Mary Ann Carlile, do pay to the King a fine of that you be imprisoned in Dorchester gaol for a per twelve months ; that, at the expiration of that time, y find sureties for your good, behaviour during five years, self in 1,0001., and two other persons in 1001. each : a! you be farther imprisoned until your fine be paid, an, sureties provided." The defendant left the Court in the custody of the Officer. . CRIMINAL INFORMATION.. Mr. F. Pot.Locx moved for a rule to shew cause why minal information should not be filed against certain but of the town of Berwick upon Tweed The applicatia cecded from the Mayor, Town Clerk, Bailiff, and Aldermen of the Borough ; and it was grounded upon th, stated in the following affidavit : The Corporation of Berwick upon Tweed having least tain tolls in the neighbourhood of the town, a Guild tva for the purpose of putting . the corporate seal to the lease also in order to the admission of certain Burgesses to thei dom. In the course-of the day, Holmes and Jefieries the parties against whom the rule was prayed) interrupted business of the Meeting by out-cries and violent conduct; a when the seal was about to be affixed to the lease, .they. into a part of the hall, called the Bend'," appropriate the Magistrates ; prevented the ceremony of sealing ; and.* ened to tear the lease, •and put it into the fire. The IV finding it impossible to restore order, dissolved the t. when Holmes arida person named Burgess assaulted the Clerk ; tore open his coat in search of the obnoxious lease (not finding it) attempted to throw the Town Clerk at Mayor over the balustrades of the hall staircase. t he I.onD CIIIEE JIrSTICE thought that there was eta stated to warrant the granting a rule. Mr. Justice BAYl.EY—Perhaps the mere rule will prod all the necessary effect. Mr. Pottocx—lt is in that expectation, my Lord, the rule is moved for.—Rule granted. THE NINO V. DAVID G.
