This com munication, written in great h a st e , mere ly stated, that her husband, Mr. Vandenberg had beers seized at the Negree of Harju, ,or Porto, by the natives, and that she bad in consequence taken refuge in the Fort : the letter finished by requesting that assistance might be sent from Atuboyna without delay. Accordingly, on the iiioraing of the I Bth, a party of European sol diers from' the garrison, and of European sailors front the line of battle ships, Nasau and Admiral Evert, in all about 150 men, to which were.add, ed 50 Javanese troops or upwards, making to gether a total of 200, or 210,men, including of ficers, left Fort. Victoria, under the command of Mojor Batjes,. for Saparona. The small party . went in boats furnished by the Avaugkya of Baroomira, who, with the Rajah Sing sooty, ,accompanied the expedition ; in the passage when off Hatvoko, they fell in With tivo or three berant prows, and taking thepeople com posing the crew for, enemies, they fortwitit shot five,or six without semblance of a tria ; sabse onent. information has proved that these men Were not foes to the Dutch Government. " The party artived at Saporana on the 20,h of May, and Major Batjes came to the determination of lauding at that part of Saporana called the Ne gree Teeanw. The beach at Teeautv is rotten ground, covered with Salaro trees, and amongst them the natives skulked with their muskets ready loaded ; un !,pproaching the shore,, they were fired at by the people of Saparona, who slimed them :selves to be good marksmen, by killing a Litittte nant Monter, and wounding a Lieutenant Seim drag, both of the It, N. in the boats : the N, hole Harty appear ,to have been in great.confosion; the . natives permitted them to "advance without in itch resistance to a place called' Kayleeo ; they 'there made a stand, and firing from behind the -trees; killed a number of sailors ; and Major .finding that nothing was to be done against a hidden enemy, who dealt destruction on every side, retreated precipitately to the beach; no people having been left to look after the boats, they had drifted off to a little distance in deep water, and Major Batjes was shot In endeavour ing to get .to one of them. A party of European Hors, amounting to between 40 and 50, got into one of the orangkys, which swamped in conse !pence of its being overladen, and they were all drowned. Of the.,whole party sent to (pia the insurrection, only two officers, a doctor, twOmid shipmen, and ten or twelve Europeans; reached the Residency. of Harookay 'in safety. One of the Officers, Lientenant-Schndrus, is since dead, haying been wounded in the boat he slid not land. " It appears that the Rajah of Sing Soory landed with a white flag upon his stick, with the hope that the rebels would listen to him : as he advanced, however, lie was ShOtAhrOtlgh the hear t from behind a salato tree : his slave boy took tip the body, and brought it,unmalested, to the beach, where a boat belonging, to his master teas in Waiting ;'the crew expressed the most savage sa tisfaction when, they saw the dead body of the .• . rtajAh rif Sing So6ty, and refnced to take it into the boat, although pressed by the slave boy to do so ; they seized their palhiles, and vociferating execrations to the Dutch, inatte the best Of their way to own Negree. "The causes - assigned for his unhap'y insur rection are, the paper money, 'requisi`tious of men for Java, the i'resident's ornering a woman to "be flogged naked in the bazAar, his. flogging the Lieutenant Btirgher without just cause, his mak ing the pi!ople turnish fish and sago gratis to the troops., and his trufsting too much to Mr. Orneck, his writer.

Lid de Jeud, R. N ; Lieutenant Schndrus, wounded, since dead. The heads of the European Officers and men have been stuck upon the-end of poles. It has been since ascer.;. tained that the natives killed the .Resident, his wife and children, together with his writer, ?Jr. Orneck, and that they were determined neither to give Gr receive (platter ; they hoist the English flag, and have aheady made two at tempts against Hartvoka, where there are 200 troops. With the exception of the •Negree ,Harooka Proper, the whole of the naives of Ilarooka have joined the people at Saparona ; the whale of the inhabitants at Hik are likewise understood_ to. be ready for. revolt. The soldiers discharged from the Elfglish service are reported to be ringleaders ; the Burghers of Saprona likewise take an active pan in the insurrection : the rebels are said to be' greatly in want of ammunition, anti have sent for supplies from Ceram ; but it does not appear that . the people of Cerani have joined the rebellion.',' S 1 l' NEWS.

A letter,' from which. the following is an ex tract, has been received by Mr. ELVIDGE, of Bri'd lington Quay, dated " Lerwick, (Shet! and) Nov. 11, 181'. I have to inform you of the melancholy wreck of the Helmsley, Capt.

JAW INTY',4I,I:i‘G'ENCt. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DLc. 3. GRIM CON. GEonalt iclttrToN v. itonsn fsT eivTorL An action for criminal conversation with the wife 'of the plaintiff. "life datuaga were laid in the declaratiOn at 200/. It appeared from the opening of Mr. MARRYAT that the parties are brothers, in a 3 lutpectable, thongh not an exalted station of life, the plaintiff being employed as a printer, And the defendant a planter, not to any great extent, in the IVcst Indies. Mr. George Newton was married in 1803 to a young wo man of reputable connekiotis, and they lived, in the utmost hatthony until 1813, *nen the defendant first arrived in lingland; even . at that time the plaintiff entertained no suspicions (fur how could he suspect his brother ?), and per mitted his wife to accompatiy the defendant into Scotland to see their mother. Robert Newton subsequently quitted the country, and again return ed in the spring of 1814 ; soon.after which the adultery was committed ; the particulars of which, as detailed by several witnesses, nanlfested the most disgusting and almost incredible grossness ott the put of the woman '; who, besides, appeared to have been the seducer—if such a term can be used, as descriptive of the allneements adopted by . a woman of 35 to a wan of 40. Mr. TOPPING addressed the Jnry for the de fendaut. Recollecting all the.circuinstances, the m ges in the plaint ill's declaration could scarcely be laid at too small a sum. The parties were all even beyond mature age, and did not offend from ignorance or inconsideration. It was not to be forgotten, that the adultery took' place inl‘l4 ; soon afterwards the elopement took place, and from that tune to this, the 41elenthaut and Mrs. Newton had been living in guilty intercourse. Only question for the Jury was, the amount of damages to he given to the plaiatiff for the loss of the . So ciety .of so abandoned and profligate a woman as his wife upon the evidence appeared to be. Mr. Justice Atao*, in summing uji, went over the principal facts proved, reworking upon the al fettionate Manner in which the plaintiff and his wife lived together until the art ival W . the defend ant in England. As to the question of damages, the chief points for consideration were the charac ter and conduct Of the wife, and the period that had elapsed between .the iliscoVery and the time i.vtien the action was comnienced. As to the first, it was observable that, no woman forgot her duty to her husband without forget t ing her ditty to herself; and adultery was, there tore, scarcely ever proved, wit b out being accompanied with . cireamstatices.of the grosseit indelicacy. The near relationship of the parties might well put the husband off his gnaid ; hut, after the disclusure of the adultery, several years had certainly elapsed, and the pldintiff xvtil knew where the parties were residing and con tinning the criminal intercourse., Under all the facts, his Lorthhip was persuaded' that calm and temperate damages would satisfy the justice of the case. The Jury desired to leoovr • what were the eir stances of Ihr defendant ?-- Mr. Justice ABBOTT Observed, 110 proof bad been given upon, I hat point. dAr9ages were laid in the declaration at 2001.; and that snuff could not be exceeded ; the verdict might be as touch under that amount as the Jury thought right. _ _ • _ '!'lie Jury consulted for ;) ftnv . rniontes, and gave a verdict forthe piaiiiiitf—DAtuages 12O!.

Mr. GASFLEE stated that the carriage ,inques tion had been ordered atid made more than three years ego : the defendant, whit appeared to be sa man of fortune, in October, 1814, called upon the plaintiffs, and desired that they Would' make him a landau, e.,timated - at 320 guineas, with hat ness, &c. at 34 guineas more ; 211. was charg ed for the standing of the vehicle in the warehouse of :be plaintiffs, being at the rate of 3s per week. .It was finished in the February after the order was given, but the defendant never sent for, it, nor had Ire been. - heard of till • lately; when it was found that he had returned front the Continent, and was residing in Albany. llc was there waited upon, admitted his liabily, and excused himself by stat 7 lug-, that be bad been suddenly called abroad by an unfortunate speculation in wines : be said that 'he had then no use for the carriage, and offered to give the plaintiffs 501. if they would keep it it themselves : this proposal they rejected, and brought the present action. Mr. Justice ABBOTT said, that as- there was no contrt in the declaration for the warehousing of the carriage, the plaintiffs could not recover for it. The witnesses having proved the order and its execution, Mr. Gu liN Elf admitted tbat his client had no defence, having made as bad a speculation in law as' lie had in wine.

As one of the stonemasons, in the enqi/Oy of the D.)ck Trustees, was dressing, on the sea-wall of the Regent's Dock, a tinge stOne„ brought from the Western Point quarry, and a fro' he had broken a considerible thickness from its °lnside,. lie discovered, in a hole of small (Hanle eel., which was prrtiidly filled with 'clay and 'el loamy said, Oleic bees, in a state of animation; to the astonishment 'of. himself and his fellow-w,orkmen, many of whom were wit nesses of this Strange phenomenon. The fore- , matt of the works , put than into his . handkerchief. where they remained for several Innis afterwards ; but while exhib.tiog his newly resuscitated strang ers, two of them flew away, and he voluntarily gave the third its liberty. These bees are des-,' et ihed to its as .having been of the drone species. We have questioned the p...r , 0n as Id tke troth of der singular' a statement, and he affirms, that they were found in the interifsr of the solid stone, at weihrve destribed,above„ withbut'aoy perceptible Cornmun'catioll froth without. Ttiuds, and other similar animal•-, have been fotoul, in a living state, io situations equally ettraordinary ; but we never heard before or. aoy- or the winged (Pipe ing incased in the heart of a solid stone. Th e discovery is singular, and will furnish 'matter Of curious speculation to the natoalist and the obilo sonher.—(Li&erpoot Courier.) The following st oerteut will probably elucidate " this ,strange phenomenon.''—As soon as we heard of the above circumstance, which occurred on'Satmday, the Ist inst. we went on the. Tue sday morning following to inspect the stone in which which the bees, as they are tailed, had beets lodged, but it had, about an hour before, bee:t put into the barge for the purpose of being taken to another part of the doct. In our. inquiries of • Mr. Dowell, lle master mason, the person 'who' had the bees in his 'possession, whether any cre vice had been observed on the outside of tire stone,. by which tiny cnuld have gained access to the abode in which they were fount!, be could give Ifs no certain information on this• point, neither negatively mor affirmatively.' But he spewed Its a stone of the exact description of the one in goes tion, in which there was what he edict, a " ssna hole," filled with loamy sand, which extended[ front the surface to the depth of ten inches into the stone. This loamy sand, it is conjectured,. would, after being exposed to the air, become suffici6nly dry to be capable of removing itself on the least change of situation in the stone, anti thereby excaystiig a In.le such as had been found •in the stone where the bees were discovered. As soon as we had ascertained this fact, our wonder in the preceding statement ceased, as we think that of , our readers will also after they have resat this article : this %vitt also account for our not having; before noticed lie circumstance. The stone front which the bees were taken, had, we under stand, been some weeks laying at the quarry for transmission to this place : in the early part of September we had some sharp frosts, and it is not improbable the bets had sheltered themselves its the cavern in which' the masons found them, from the inclemency of the weather at that tine. Where th e y we r e first discovered, we ondeistand, they,,. were in a state of torpor, hot the warmth oC Doweirs poCket, in which they had bccal placed/. completely reanimated them.—(Liver p 0 . 94 Adtlere• Lisa ), NIARRIED.
