The Barnstaple Market appearing to its inhabi !ants, at this period, the highest in the kingdom for °lnciters' meat, it being at seven-pence to eight knce per pound, the Mayor last week called a eeting of the principal inhabitants, to take into Z /t 'sideration so extortionate, a measure ; when it Leas una n i mous ly resolved, that a subscription should fired to purchase cattle, to have them slaugh_ and rerailed at reduced prices.

The streets through which the Procession passed were crowded beyond all former example. The LORD CHANCELLOR joined the Processlon , in a.most elegant new State Coach.

The First Magistrate of London yesterday pre-' sided ,at a table very diff9ent, if we may believe the most authentic accounts from Paris, from that. of the First. Consul. The London Physicians will have a very different prescription to enforce frOm M. CORVISSART, if, on the Fite de la Paix, the Diner a la mode du Premier Consul was general in ,the French Metropolis. ' Yesterday an•unusual number of turkies, hams, . and chickens expired of a. consumption at Guifdhall.

COURT OF 1 iNe';,I3ENCIT, MONDAY, Nov. 9. - ; Tins beind- Lord MAYOR'S Day, the Court did not sit until Calf paSt,eltven o'Oloelc', and there Was but little business done, KERSLAKE iV. SAGE,AND OTHERS. Lord KENYON asked what'wps the nature' of this case; .for that he found it Was among the new trials, and he had 'searched for it in vain 'in his Note book . His Lordship was inforMed; that it was an aEtion brought for the recovery of 4 hum insured upon the life of a person, and the question was, Whether` the life insured was a fit one tp be insured ? that is, Whether he had, at the time of Insurance, any complaint tending to shorten life ? and that it was tried at the end of the Sittings before the'last Te . rm at Westminster, before , Mr. Justice LE BLANC and a Special Jury. Mr. ERSKINE said; he had turned this case in his mind, and conferred with Mr. GAR R° W, who was with Mm, upon it. It was tried, before Mr. Jus tice LE BLANC, and, last Term, a motion had been made for a new trial, and, he understood the Learn ed Judge bad gone the length of reading the Re port.—The Learned judge said; he had not read the_RepOrt, but he was ready to read it. Lord KENYON asked Mr. ERSKINE, if he had any thing to say upon it'now ? Mr. ERSKINE said,. that when the motion was made for the new trial, Mr. Justice 'LE BLANC, ' before whom.the cause was tried; had intimated a strong: opinion upon the evidence, that the ver dia.-was not satisfaCtory to' him, and therefore that the case ought to be set right by a new trial. This being the state of the case, and knowing that the opinion of the Learned Judge would have great weight, as it ought to have with the other Judges, and that Counsel for the Plaintiff . ..would have a great deal . to contend with, when they came. to shew Cause against this'Rule ; and, ayprehencling that the Court would,' at lad, order it to be re tried, 'he thought that in order to have the case come before another Jury as impartially as possi ble, the better way would be for him to 'give the ,Court no trouble upon this motion for a. new trial, and he thought -he should vary - the case from the last. .1 Rule for new Trial absolute'. [Our Readers may . find a full account of this Trial in our Paper of August 15, -and 171 In the matter of John Chambers the Elder, and John Chambers the Younger. These were Rules calling on the above-persons to she w Cause why a Warrant of Attorney which , lad been executed to secure to Chambers the Elder, the sum 'Of 151. should not be delivered up to be can. celled, , : and that all proceedings thereon, Sce.. in the mean time, be stayed, 'and that they , should . answer the matters of the Affidavits, 6,:c. This was moved some lime in the last Term, upon Affidavits stating that Charnbers the elder had lent a person thereid named, a sum of r St. and took,. by way of security for the re-payment of it, a Warrant of 'Attorney to cUnfess Judgment, unless payment was made apt a given day ; 'that upon failure of such payment, he 'had taken another Warrant of Attorney for the like purpose., at a future day, to' enter up Judgment for the same sum, and made these renewals of Warrants. of Attorney several times for the same sum, and took usurious interest, 2S.'6d. in-. stead of rs. 3d. each time. That John Chambers the younger was an Attorney, and the son•of the elder John Chambers. That as an Attorney, he drew all these, as well as many other Warrants of Attorney, at a Public-house called the Hole in the Wall, in Fleet -street, and charged fur each 11. los. and that the father and•son were thus concerned in this transaction, and played into opie another's hands; and which was stated to be most oppressive ; and indeed Lord KENYON took occasion to observe that this was apradice in which needy men, might be ground, as it were, between two mill-stones by this father and son. After the AffidaVits had been stated on both sides, the Court Ordered, " That the Rule; as far as it related to the elder Chambers, be discharged without -costs, on condition that he abide by what evier the Master (to whom that part of the Case was referred) shall dire& :," That as to John Chambers the younger, he should answer the matters of the Affidavit. Lord,KENYON,. in the course of this discussion observed, thlt Attornies, While-they continued upon the . Roll, were persons accredited as being. fit, by capacity and moral cOndud, to take care of the interests of the Suitors of a Court of Justice, and that they would do well to be careftil their conduEt. was.not unworthy- of the trust reposed in 'them, otherwise they would - become objeds. of severe punishment. • Major WARREN JOHNSON , of the zd Battalion of the 6oth. Regiment of Foot, who died on the sth of August last, on his passage home from Tobago, where he had commanded some time, and having' been three years in the West Indies, was the second son of Sir JOHN JOHNSON, Barr. of Montreal, Ca nada,.__ and_ grandson of • Sir ,WILLIAM_JoHNSoN, whose sufferings in the service of his Country are' too well known to reed a repetition. Major JoHr_ son's untimely death, being only in the z4th year Of his age, must in some measure b'e,attribtolti to the treatment helmet with on that station: seeing: Officers around him obtaining ledve to visit their native Country, he, naturally wishing to return to; his family, ‘ - applied for-the same indulgence, which being, refused, he exchanged into - the tit Battalion : in his passage to join which,' he was attacked by ; the fever; and .carried off in three days. It is but justice to his memory to.state, that during nine years.ser vice, he vas Cont:aritly with 'his Regiment ; from .his•tittention. to his duty, he enjoyed the favour and approbation of his superiors ; and when it came to hia lot to- command, - he. icqiiitted - himielf in that station as iin'Officer and a Gentleman; •and was be lovedand respefted by his whole Corps :-the situation in whiFh he has left his family, fully proves how well he was beloved by them.—This is•the tribute Of a friend, a u nd due to misfortune,. ; A'thi'nlUßC - H,' Ti IS day the French Prisoners ,lvfl'p ha 17C!

They amounted to ne•l7ly 3co, and their appearance indicated that their trei.tinerli: here has been.humaneand comfortable. They were all in glod health, and as might be expeeted, 'Very happy in the' prospea of being restored to their friends 'and families. On Monday night a fishing-boat, with five•hands , on board, froM . Cove, near Dunbar,'while working. .up the Frith in a heavy, gale of wind,' was overscr a little above the Eland of Inchkeith, and all on board perished. The boat has been towed into Leith, and the buoys, with some tackling, have been driven, ashore near the Glass-houses. The crew were,seen by'the people in a Berwick smack,. clinging to the bottom of:' the boat after she had overset, but the sea ran so high they could give them no assistance. She is named the javel, Robert 'Biggar, master. Yesterday several Gentlemen went in a boat from Leith, for the purpose of fixing an a proper spin for erecting a Lighthouse upon the Island of Ineb,• keith. There were Iso bolls' of oatmeal on Tuesday in Edinburgh marker, which sold from 17s. 6d. to Bs. 3d. per boll. Retail price per peck of best oatmeal Is. 2d. second is. id. There were also 16 bolls of pease and barley meal, which sold from , ro to, iqs, per boll; from sod. to is. per peck: A most melancholy circumstance took place a shOrt,time past, at Crediton, in Devon, between two Gentlemen of that place. A dispute arose about the removal of a tree, upon which violent words ensued, and blows followed, when one of the Gentlemen, with a large stick struck the other upon the head with so much force, that he instantly ekpired, leaving a wife and eight children to lament his unhappy fate. The deceased was a man emi. neat in the Law, and urtiversally respeaed. The Coroner's.
