LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF JOHN NICOL. - - We have read this singular little book with much interest, and that interest will be heightened in the minds of most readers, when it is known that the poor author rests his hopes of subsistence for the remainder of his days on this effort to detail the incidents of his chequered life, John Nicol WRS born in the village of Currie, near Edinburgh, in 1755, and being of a wandering disposition, had from his earliest days a strong propensity to a seafaring life. He en tered the Navy in 1776, having previously been apprenticed to a cooper ; and from this period to 1783, he served on board his Majesty's ships Proteus and Surprise, in the West Indies, during the American war. When paid off, he next engaged himself as cooper in a whale ship, and made a voyage to Green land; and on his return from this voyage, he sailed for the West Indies in a merchant vessel. The occurrences he met with in these voyages are detailed with much effect ; and his anecdotes are related with a simplicity which is highly amusing. John's next voyage wasone of discovery and trade, under Cap tain Portlock, to the South Seas and China, which occupied three years, from 178.5 to 1788. On his return from this ex pedition, and being desirous to see New South Wales, he engag ed himself on board a female convict ship, the Lady Julian, for this purpose. An attachment which he formed with a female convict at this time was the main spring to his wanderings for five years more. His object being to bring her home and marry her when the time of her banishment was expired. But Sarah proved faithless, and John's romantic attachment, after having stood the test of two voyages to the South Seas and China, in the hope of being able to learn something of the object of his affections, was at last cooled by his being impressed at the com mencement of the French war. John now served on board the Edgar, Goliah, Ramilies, and Ajax, for seven years, till the peace of 1801; when, having saved some money, he pur chased a house in Edinburgh, married, and began business as a cooper. War having, however,- soon again commenced, he was forced to retire to the country, to escape im pressment, where he worked at a stone-quarry for nine years. At the conclusion of this period he returned again to Edinburgh, but not finding sufficient employment,- and his wife dying, he, was obliged to sell part, of .his house to pay Some debts ; and the editor of his life saw the poor old man, in the streets of Edinburgh, in the spring of this year, picking up fragments of coal to warm his aged limbs. But we shall gratify our readers, N', , ho may...hp, disposed to assist the poor old tar, by giving a picture of his present situa tion in his own words : " At her (his wife's) death, which happened four years ago, I was forced to sell all my property, except a small room, in which L live, and a cellar whew I do any little work I am so fortunate as to obtain. Thisl did to pay the expences of her fu neral, and a number of debts that had been contracted unknown to me. As ivy poverty will not allow me to pay for a seat in a church, I go in the evenings to the Little Church ; but my house is in the Tolbooth parish.. ' " Dr. Davidson visits mein his ministerial capacity. These I may say, are the only glimpses of sun-shine that ever visit my humble dwelling. Mr. Mackenzie, my elder, is very attentive In giving me tickets of admission to the sermons that are preach ed in the school-house in the Castlehill. In one of Dr. Da vidson's visits, he made me a present of a few shillings ; it was. a great gift from GOD. I had not one penny at the time in the house. " In the month of August, last year, a cousin of my own made me a' present of as much money as carried me to London. I sailed in the Hawk, London smack. I was only a steerage passenger; but fared as well as the cabin passengers. I was held constantly in tow by the passengers. My spirits were up. I was at sea a,, , rain. I had not trode a deck for twenty years before. I had always a crowd round me, listening to my ac counts of the former voyages that I had made. Every one was more kind to me than another. I was very happy. " Upon my arrival in London, I waited upon my old Captain, Portlock ; but fortune was now completely against me. He had been dead six weeks before my arrival. I left the-house ; my spirits sunk with grief for his death, and my own disap pointment, as my chief dependence was upon his aid. I then went to Somerset House for the certificate of my service ; seven years in the Proteus and Surprise, in the American war, and seven in the Edgar, Goliah, Ramillies, and Ajax, in the French war. I was ordered to go to the Admiralty Office first, and then come back to Somerset House. When I applied at the Admiralty Office, a clerk told me I had been too long of ap plying. I then went down to the Governor of Greenwich Hos pital. 1 was not acquainted with him; but I knew the Gover nor of Greenwich would be a distressed seaman's friend. His servant told me he was in Scotland. I then waited upon Capt. Gore, whose son's life I had saved, but he was not at borne.— It was of no use to remain in London, as my money wore down apace. I took my passage back to Edinburgh in the Favourite London smack, and arrived just four weeks from my first set ting out on this voyage of disappointment. "What can Ido ? I must just take what fortune has still in store for me. _ _ _ " At - one time, after I came home, I little thought I should ever need to apply for a pension : and, therefore, made no ap plication until I really stood in need of it. " 1 eke out my subsistence in the best manner I can. Coffee made from the raspings of bread (which I obtain from the' baker's), twice a day, is my chief diet. A few potatoes, or any thing I can obtain with a few pence constitute my dinner. My Only luxury is toboca„. whicb...Lve used these forty.five 'years. To beg I never will submit:, Could I. have obtained a small pension for my past service, I would then have reached my .ttmostt earthly wish, and the approach of utter helplessness would not haunt me as it at present does in my solitary home. Should .I be forced to sell it, all I could obtain would not keep me, and pay for lodgings for one year ; then I must go to th© poor's-house Which' Li OD in his mercy forbid. I can look - to my death-bed with resignation ; but to the poor's-house I cannot. look with composure. " I have been' a wanderer, and the child of 'chance, all my . days ; and now only look or the time when I shall enter my last ship, and be anchored with . a green turf tilvn my breast; and I care not how soon the command is given." From " The Lit? and Adventures of Jehn Nicol, 7tfariner." " The natives (says Nicol) came on board in crowds, and were happy to see us ; they recognised Portlock and others, who had been on the island before, along with Cook. Our decks were soon crowded with hos, bread-fruit, yams, and potatoes. Oar deck soon resembled shambles; our butcher had fourteen assistants. I was as busy and fatigued as I could be cutting iron hoops into lengths, of eight and nine inches, which the carpenter ground sharp. These were our most valuable corn. modity in the eyes of the natives. I was stationed down:in the hold of the vessel, and the ladders were removed to prevent the natives from coming . down to the treasury. The King of Owhyhee looked to my occupation with a wistfureye; he thought me the happiest man on board, to be among such vast heaps of treasure. Captain Portlock called to me to place the ladder, and allow the King to corne,down, and give him a good long piece. 'When the King descended he held up his hand's, and looked astonishment personified. 'When I gave him the piece of hoop of 20 inches long, he retired a little from below the hatch into the shade, undid his girdle, bent the iron to his body, and, adjusting his belt in the greatest haste, concealed it. I suppose he thought I had stole it. I could not but laugh to see the King concealing what he took to be stolen goods. ", We were much in want of oil for our lamps. The sharks abounding, we baited a hook with a piece of salt pork, and ptught the largest I ever saw in any sea : it was a female, 19 feet long : it took all hands to hoist her on board ; her weight made the vessel heel. When she was cut up we took 48 young ones out of her belly, 18 inches long ; we saw them go into her mouth after she was hooked. The hook was fixed to a chain attached to our main brace, or we never would have kept her. It was evening when she snapped the bait; we hauled the head just above the surface, the swell washing over it. We let her remain thus all night, and she was quite dead in the morning. There were in her stomach four hogs, four full grown turtle, besides the young ones. Iler liver, the only part we wanted, filled a tierce. * * * _ _ . "They are the worst' people to pronounce the English of any I ever was among.. Captain Portlack they called Potipoti. The nearest approach they could make to ulyname was Niitie ; yet they would make the greatest efforts, a look so angry at themselves, and vexed at their vain efforts. " We had a merry facetious fellow on board, called Dick son. He Putig pretty well. He squinted 4 and the natives mimicked him. Abenoue, King of Atooi,could cock his eye like Dickson better than any of his subjects. Abenoue called him Billicany, from his often singing Rule Britannia. , Abenoue learned the air, and the words as near as he could pronounce them. It was an amusing thing to hear the King and Dick son sing. Abenoue loved him better than any man in the ship, and always embraced him every time they met on shore or in the ship, and began to sing Tule Billicany, Billicany, Tule,' &c. " We had the Chief on board who killed Captain Cook for more than three weeks. He was in bad health, and had a smelling bottle, with a few drops in it, which he used to smell at ; we filled it for him. There were a gootj many bayonets in possession of the •nativep, which they - had obtained at the murder of Cook." *.* We sincerely hope that the simple, interesting, and ap_ parently faithful narration of this old man will reach official notice, and procure him some permanent provision for his few remaining years. The show of fat cattle for the premiums offered by the Highland Society of Scotland is fixed for Thursday the 26th inst. at Queensberry House. An annual exhibition of stock has long been established in London and Dublin, but it is quite new in this metropolis, and is; expected to create great interest. In consequence of this show, a supply of excellent meat will be afforded to our market at Christmas. We are in. formed that the Committee, to whom the regulation of details has been committed by the society, intend to make arrange ments for admitting the public to see the prize stock, for which the excellent accommodation in the 'enclosures at Queensberry House will afford great facility.—(Edinburgh Courant.) rICTUALLIIVG-OFFICE, Dec. 6, 1822.

Printing for John Murray, Alhermarle-street. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 9. DUKE OF MARIOI3OROUGH. As soon as the LouD CHANCELLOR took his seat, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL informed the Court, that in respect to the question of right to cut timber on the Blenheim estate, his noble client had been advised to withdraw his appeal. LORD PORTSMOUTH. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated his intention to go through this case, whenever it should commence, without suffering any other business to interrupt it. He had taken this resolution from a regard to the convenience and feel. ings of the parties who were so deeply interested ; and as- he had so far subjected his arrangements to their accommoda tion, he hoped that they would agree upon an early day for the hearing. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. WETHERELL ex pressed their-anxiety to have it argued speedily, that they might have the opportunity of relieving the reputations of their clients from sundry gross and burdensome attacks and charges under which they must until then continue to labour. Mr. SHADWELL said that it was not In his power to agree upon any particular day, Mr. Heald being then out of Court. , The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested that it Would be as well to fix a day, leaving the appointment of it open to the ob jections of Mr. Heald on his arrival in Court. The LonD CHANCELLOR assigned 'Thursday, subject to the objection of the other party. Mr. HEALD afterwards came into Couit, and being consulted on the subject, said that he could not undertake to determine without advising with his friends who were engaged in the case, for which reason he begged that his Lordship would allow hiin to mention it again on the opening of the Court to-morrow morning. The LDRD CHANCELLOR assented. , IN RE BIBBY AND DICKENSON.--JUDGMENT. His 14oRnsiir proceeded with his judgment in this case. Having resumed and - completed his exposition of the facts and merits, he directed that the Commissioners should proceed to make a dividend on such of the debts as were satisfactorily proved, reserving the right of petition for the creditors whose debts were still disputed, and also the question of costs, which he would determine on another oceasion. Mr. AGAR wished for time to consult with some of his clients. before the judgment on the costs. Mr. MONTAGUE said, that if his'LordShip were not urgent, he would find that the post would travel very slow between London and Liverpool for some time to come. The LORD CHANCELLOR fixed the 13th inst. for giving his judgment on that part of the case. SIR CHARLES LONG IN THE MATTER OF,BROTHERS AND LEATH, BANKRUPTS, . . Messrs, HEALD and CHING were Counsel for the Petitioner; Messrs. ',CULLEN and MoNTAGH for the , Bankrupts; and Mr. PARKER for the Assignee. - • • The petition prayed, that the Treasurer or Deputy Trea• surer might be•allowed to prove in this bankruptcy, in lieu of the Commissioners of -Chelsea-Hospital ; that a new. choice of assignees might be had, or that some person should be ap pointed as to-assignee, to take care of the interests, of the, par ties who were entitled to the prize-money, and that the bank. rupts' certificate might be idayed. It was alleged that the sum ef, 1,0 Q9ol.had been placed in the h.rdsof. Messrs, Brothers and o. on behalf'af certain troops had-.made captures to that intiountin India ; and' thatji , i,tten"aPPlicalibt was made for the'satue by the :claimants,: 'that - st4rions:-subterfuges were .resorted to, in order to withhold the property; -that on these occasioni . it was pretended; - that the money had been re- matted back to India, and on -the credit-of this statement, that many poor fellows had been induced to leave this _coun try. On the parties, becoming insolvent, tlte Treasurer of Chelsea 'Hospital applied to proVe .raider the ComniisSion, - which the Bankrupt Commissioneis, after several adjourn ments, did not allow, conceiving,. that the Commisl4oners of the Hospital were the only persons who could be legally recognized in that capacity. .In opposition to the petition it was stated, that the _HoSpital;-, as a Corporate Body; was not entitled. to withhold the certificate 'of the ,Banic rupts_, but that this power *as; by the Act, vested only in the several individuals who claimed 'tinder the Commission ; that no competent person attended -the Commissioners, or desired leave to prove; that the Deputy Treasurer, Mr. ,I)ollard,. had applied to prove a debt dire not to him Self, but to the Commis sioners of the Hospital:" upon which • the Commissioners of Bankru,ptcy were of opinion, that in point of law he.could not be pern4itted to examine either the bankrupts or their books. It was also objected that the preient petition could not he sup-. *ported, as it had not ;been regularly signed, in conformity with his Lordship's order in bankruptcy, and tha; the affidavits in , support of it were irregular. It was asserted that the bankrupts • had not' withheld any in- formation required of them, and. that, therefore, their' certificate could not be suspended. , . The LORD CHANCELLOR promised to give judgment on these different points to-morrow morning at the sitting of the Court. This case occupied nearly the whole of the day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 9. • • SIR WILLIAM OAT V. LORD NEWRY. This was an action on the warranty of a horse, which the de fendant had sold to the plaintiff for seventy guineas. So mc ITOR.GENERA r..conducted Ihe plaintiff's case; and Mr. SCARLET T the defendant's. It appeared, that Sir Simeon Stewart was riding the horse in question, when Sir Wm. Ort first saw it. The latter being pleased with the appearance of the animal, asked the'price of it ? The sum of seventy guineas was agreed upon ; 4nd Sir Simeon told the plaintiff, from Lord Newry, that the horse was per fectly quiet in harness. The defendant's groom told the plaintiff, at,the time the horse was delivered, that his master would not warrant any horse that he had §old. • The first day the horse was driven out, when he had proceeded some distance, he be gan to kick, and at last broke one of the shafts of the vehicle to which he was yoked. When the plaintiff informed the defend ant that the horse was not, according to agreement, quiet in harness, the latter refused to take hin. back. The actionovas now brought to recover the purchase money, and the expellees incurred in keeping the horse, on the ground that the animal had not fulfilled the warranty. , Mr. ScAnLETT, for the defendant, contended, that there was no specific warranty on the part of the defendant, but, on the contrary, his Lordship's groom had said; that his master would not warrant the horse. The CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up . the evidence, re marked to the Jury, that it was evident a warranty had been given through the medium of Sir Simeon Stewart. • The only question remaining-for them to decide was, whether the horse had or had not fulfilled that warranty, by the circumstance of kicking' when in lirriess ? The Jury after a short consideration returned a verdict for the plaintiff-=Damages 1031. Bs. ; costs 40s. BEESTON v. CAMPBELL AND DOITGIIT Y. This was an action against two surgeons, carrying on busi ness in partnership in the lEdgwartt-road, for so negligently con ducting themselves .respecting a dislocation of the plaintiff's shoulder,_ that she was deprived of the use of her arm. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. GURNEY and Mr. CHITTY; the defendant's by Mr. Scan LETT and Mr. ROBERT SCARLETT. • _ It appeared in evidence that the plaintiff, a dressmaker by trade, and between .50 and BO years .of age, fell down, and had the misfortune to dislOcate her shoulder. This was not known at the time; but finding it in pain,' she consulted Mr. Camp-, bell, and went several times to hik house.; when he advised with, her, and gave her, lotions to apply. Afte,r some time she went to another surgeon, Mr. Heddington, who discovered that her shoulder was dislocated, and that by the 'delay the reduction• had become difficult and dangerous. She therefore .did not submit to an operation, but continued deprived of the Use of her arm. Mr. Ileddington wrotetio defendant, Camp bell; but received no answer. That gentleman, Mr. Chevalier, and Mr. Wood, gave their opinion that the mode adopted by Mr. Campbell of discovering whether there was dislocation was uncertain, and that they would liaVe adopted other. means of inquiry. Mr. SCARLET T addressed the Jury for the defendants,, urging that Mr. Campbell had no interest in maltreating the case, but strongly the reverse • that his attention had not been drawn to the case as one of dislocation, and that, at last, the plaintiff might have recovered the use of her arm by submitting to an operation which she did not choose to encounter. The Lonn CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the evidence, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. VEZEY V. AGAR. This waS an action to recover the sum of 2821., for which the defendant, one of his Majesty's Council, at the Chancery Bar, was indebted to the plaintiff, who is a surveyor. The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. GURNEY' and Mr. CHITTY, and for the defendant by Mr. SCARLETT and the COMMON SERJEANT. •. It appeared that the defendant is in possession of a consider. able estate near Kentish Town. The Regent's Canal Company' finding, that in cutting their canal, it was necessary to pass through his grounds, determined to put that project into execu tion. Mr. Agar brought this action against them to recover. damages, and in order to form a pryer estimate of the injury he had received, employed the plaintiff to make several surveys for him. •*. • Several witnesses were called, wbo proved that the charges ' made by the plaintiff were the usual charges on similar occasions. Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendant, called witnesses to prove that the plaintiff had entered into a special agreement, to be paid a certain sum if the defendant .paid him, and a different sum if the Canal Company paid him.. . The CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up the evidence,• re marked that if they were of opinion that the plaintiff had en tered into this contract to charge a certain sum, and that he afterwards charged more, he could not be entitled to recover. . The Jury having retired for about three quarters of an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 131/. bs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. D. GRAY v. CAMPBELL AND:OTBERS. This was an action brought by the.plaintiff, an attorney, against Messrs. Campbell, Thomson, and Waneman for the amount, of his costs in a Chancery suit, in which the defend ants were with others engaged. It appeared that two of the defendants, Campbell and Thomson, suffered judgment to go by default, and Wanernan pleaded, first, that he was not an swerable, and next, that he had given no undertaking within the last six years. It was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff for the whole sum subject to a reduction on ascertaining through the proper quarter the amount of Waneman's separate interest in the cause. KIIOLEY GOODMAN,-..AGREEMENT OF SEPARATION. 'Serjeant PELL stated, that this was an action brought to recover a sum of 15/. due to the plaintiff under an agreement. and which he had paid to the defendant's wife. The plaintiff was the defendant's father-in-law, and the defendant having had some unfortunate differences with his wife in the latter part of last year, entered into an agreement, by which he un dertook to pay the plaintiff, as trustee for his wife, the sum of 12s. per week, but which he had-since discontinued.. The agreement having been read, John Powell proved an acknowledgment of the defendant that he had paid for a consi derable time, but should not pay any longer. J. Stringfield had gone to the defendant in May last, when he refused to continue his payment, and advised him to pay to prevent further trouble and expence. .- - - • Cross-examined—The defendant said he would pay the money if lie was certain his wife was living-in an honourable way. Witness did' not know that Mrs. Goodman was living in adultery with a man named Pitt. • Elizabeth Slades knew the defendant, the wife, and, the plaintiff. 'Witness knew Mr. Pitt, whose name had been men tioned'; he was, she believed, in the East India House as a porter; he now lived in Regency-street. Se,rjeaut V.airuitax, for the defendant, contended, .that under. the circumstances of the case this agreement was at an - end, aid: could not be now enforced. If the Jury shbuld be - satisfied that the wife was living in adultery, there was an end . .of the action. . . Richhrd Stuart had been long acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Goodman. ibn Ma last tweith-night witness was at Mr. Good— inan's house. Mrs. Goodman came-in during the evening, and, . behaiea in every respect as she had usually done before the separation. .. Elizabeth Goodman, the daughter of the defendant, proved . ,that her father and mother slept in the same zoom on the even t . „ . ing in question. Miss Elizabeth Moffat had known Mrs. Goodman before the separation. After that event she visited Mrs. Goodman at Re .geney-street ; this was about May last. In the evening Pitt came in : Pitt called her " dear Jane," and she called him "my love." Witness did not see any improper familiaritiei between the parties. Mrs. Goodman told witness she was my s w happier than ever ; that she loved Mr.' Pitt's little finger better thim her husbard's Thole body ; she added, that her happiness would be complete if she could have a child by him ; they slept ,in the same bed, there being but one in the house. Mrs. Castle, sister to the last witness, remembered Mrs. • Goodman and Mr. Pitt coming to her house together; did not see any thing particular pass between Mrs. Goodman and Mr. - pia, except that they called each other "dear." F. Stuart, son to a former witness, a porter in the East India Company's warehouse, had seen Mrs. Goodman in May on London-bridge, when, on asking her ho w her husband was, she answered, " May he and 4 brother be doubly and trebly d---_d." _ Mr. Serjeant PEEL, in reply, l ead the words of the agree ment, by which the wife was permitted, after the separation to live where she pleased, and was to be totally free from " all authority, restraint, controul, or direction of her husband," but was to be in every respect as if sole and unmarried." He then commented at great length on the incredibility of the last wit ness's statement. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, in charging the Jury said, if parties agreed to a separation, and the wife returned to live with her husband, common sense would declare that the agreement Was at an end. But lie should be very sorry to declare that a casual visit to a husband by a wife on a night of festival, as iii. the present case, should oblige the husband either to turn her out at, night, or should leave the wife destitute, the agree ment being destroyed by such a visit. As to the adultery of the wife, it the Jury thought it was clearly proved that she had lived in adultery, she was not entitled to any further claim upon her husband. An agreement of separation could never be considered as a permission for the wife to live in adul tery, but, on the contrary, he should hold, that under such cir cumstances the husband would be entittled to bring his action against any one who he could prove had been guilty of a criminal intercourse with his wife. In this particular case, the question was, whether she had actually lived in adultery with Pitt ? Before he entered on the evidence on this subject, he must say, that the plaintiff was, as to that, entitled to their favourable consideration, for if she had been living in adultery, it was clear, from the defendant's own witnesses, that the de fendant was acquainted with the fact, and he should have given notice to the plaintiff not to make any further payments to the wife. If the Jury thought the adultery proved, the agreement was at an end, but if not, their verdict must be for theplaintiff —the wife's return for a single night not being sufficient to in validate it. The Jury consulted for a short time and then' withdrew from the box. After remaining absent above an hour, they returned • a verdict for the defendant, on the ground of the wife's adultery. On Tuesday last, an elegant Silver Cup was presented by the Coal-owners of the river Wear,'to Mr. MAR TINDALE, their Secretary, as a tribute of respect and esteem for his faithful services, during a period of fifty years. On this occasion, the. coal-owners invited between thirty and forty of their friends to a sumptuous dinner, at the Lambton Arms, in Chester-le-Street, where turtle, and all the delicacies of the sea son, were served in.; the best style. The chair was ably filled by T. Croudace, Esq., who, in presenting the cup to Mr. Mar tindale, expressed, in the most appropriate and happy terms, the flattering sentiments of the body of coal-owners. Among the company, were the Hon. Captain Cochrane, Sir C. Sharp, Sir R. S.Hawks, B. Ogden, Esq., J. C. Tarleton, Esq., W. M. Lamb, Esq., T. Wade, Esq., Captain Wright, R. A.. Messrs. Stobart, J.
