A GOOD THING.
l.afl fum'mer, while the Britifh (hip Chtehfcfler of
44 guns, was lying at anchor off Fort Jay, Dr. Morfe
of Elizabeth town, coming in with a load of hay,
hove about partly under the bow of the (hip, tnifa
ftayed, drifted foul of the 4 l^and the (loop’s fhroeds
got entangled m the (hip’s yards. The boatfwain of
the Chichdler ordered men aloft to ctit away the
(loop’s rigging,that (he might drift from alotig-fide.
The deQor (wore that if they cut him adrift he would
fend them all to hell in a moment.—“ You fend us to
hell” faid the officer—•“ Yes, by God 1 will,” replied
the dodlor.—“ Go aloft ami cut away,” faid the
boatfwain again.—11 Boy (fays the dotftor) go below
and bring me a brand of fire : I’ll be damn’d if I
don’t put fire to the hay.” The boatfwain (food a
xnafed, and faid the mao was mad. The captain of
the 44 was then called on deck. The do&or told
him he had the misfortune to get foul of his (hip, and
that, inflead of affording him relief one of his damn’d
officers ordered hia vefltTs rigging to be cut away, &
that if that had been done, he was determined to
make a ton fre—the dotSor (till (landing with the
brand or fire in his hand. The captain of the (hip,
pleafed with the doctor’s oddity alkcd him on board.
They went below together, where the fubjcid was re
newed—and the captain afked him if he would have
put fire to his hay, if the orders of his officer to cut a
way had keen complied with—he faid he certainly
fliould—it was hi« unalterable determination. The
captain of the (hip laughed mod heartily—they
brtakfafted together, and parted on good terms.

FROM THE FRIEND.
To the Editors.
Obferving in the Bolton Centirttl, of to-day, a
flight notice of an important event that lately occur
red i:i India, I have taken the liberty or fending you
a particular account of that unhappy tranfadlion.
About the middle of July laft, an infurre&ion of
a battalion of native troops, (or Sepoys) in the En
giifli ferviie, took place in the garrifon town of Ve
lore. This place is fituated in the Carnative Coun
try, about 100 miles inland from Madras, and about
40 from the dominions of Myfore. This place was
chofen by the Britifli for the exile of the fons and fa
mily of the late Tippoo Sultan, after the fubjugation
of his country.
Velore is remarkable for its ftrength, both by na
ture and art. k has two ditches, of great depth and
width, which are full of aligators, that temerity’s felf
dare not pafs them, except over its bridge. It for- I
nierly had two gates, but at the time the princes
were ftni '.here, one gate was clofed and fortified,
admitting only one palTage in and out. Here the
Princes were provided with a moft liberal fupport by
the Britilh government; their allowance is Iuperior
to that received from their deceafed father. They
had nothing to regret, hut the want of more liberty
than is the lot of prifoners at large in a garrifon
town. One battalion of the 69;h Britilh European
Regiment, and one battalion of Sepoys, compofed the
garrifon. The outer gate was ufually guarded by a
fmall detachment of Europeans, and the inner gate
by a guard of Sepoys. Thas were things fituated,
about the middle of July laft; when the Sepoys rofe,
about 2 o’clock in the morning, rulhed into the bar
rack-yard. fired upon the Britilh European troops
through the windows as they laid in profound fleep ;
and then rulhed in and bayonetted all they could
find. One of the foldiers made his efcape from the
berraefc to the outer gate, and informed the guard of
the tranfatftion. The guard was joined by a brave
officer, (Sergeant Brady) and about 30 heroes like
himftlf, who had fought their way to the gate. This
little band, under the orders of their gallant fergeant
inftead of making their efcape, Ihut the outer gate,
and refnlved to perifh, or prevent the efcape of the
Princes and their adherents. This gate-way was fo
fortified, that a few men might maintain themfelves
a confiderable time againft many—and this was the
cafe ; for the Sepoys made feveral delperate attempts
to diflodge the few brave fellows who defended it, ic
were defeated as often, with great lofs. All this
time, the Sepoys never thought of bringing up a piece
of artillery, which would have opened the gate with
fpeed—but fell to plundering, and drinking an inebri
ating liquor, called bang. Every European gentleman,
(with die exception of Col. Mariott, the Refidant,
who had ill* particular charge of the Princes and fa
mily, and who refided in the palace with them) were
maflacred, both civil and military. All the officers
«>f the garrifon, and officers in the civil fervite, with
i 99 foldiers were maflacred, belides a number horrid
ly wounded The Sepoys took all the EuropeanLa
d.vs and their children, of which there was a number,
and placed them in a houfe, under a guard ; the chief
tirgeon’s lady and two children excepted—thofe they
dcllroyed.
Immediately after fergeant Brady Ihut the gate, he
lowered a trufty foldier over the gate-way by a rope,
end ordered him exprefs to the town of Areot, about
11 miles dill ant, where Colonel Gillefpie was in gar
rifon with the 64th regiment of dragoons, (420
ftrong). On receiving the exprefs, Col. G. inftantly
mounted, and with one troop proceeded to Velore_
ordering the reft to follow as loon as poflible—and
dil'patching orders for another regiment, laying at a
neighboring town, to reinforce him if ueceflary.
Upon Col. G’s arrival at Velore, he found the Se
poys had taken alarm, and bnrricadoed the inner gale.
He allowed himfelf to be drawn up by a rope uron
the gate-way, where he reconnoitred the rebel* ; "and
finding it impoflibla to force the gate, he fent for a
couple of pieces of horfe artillery—which being
brought up, and the reft of his regiment arriving, he
opened the gate with his artillery in a few minutes,
and drove in, fword in hand. At this moment, the
Sepoys were drawn up, inclofe column, in the public
fquare to receive him. Upon hi* appearing in fight
they gave him two or three rounds—hut owing to
their enebriation, cr fotns other caufe, they did but
little damage by their fire. Colonel Gillefpie, with
great gallantry, d.ifhed into their column, which
could not refill him, but give way—and a dreadful
daughter enfued. The Europeans gave no quarter at
firft, but cut up in a few minutes 800 Sepoys—being
nearly all of a battalion of the b»ft regiment of the
C’oaft Army ; referving only the heads, or leaders, for
an examination.
But for the bravery of fergeant Brady, and the
prompt and vigorous efforts of the commander of dra
goon*, an incalculable mifchief might have happened
to the Britifh Empire in the F.aft.—During the con
riidl, the ancient flag of Myfore washoifled upon the
Palace 5 and one of the Princes, with his fervants,
were feen to be firing upon the dragoons from the top
of the Palace walls.
T.ie Governor of Fort St. George, I.ord Wm.
Biuitirh, had appointed a Military Commiflion, of he
firfl characters, who immediately left Fort St. George
for Vflore, to inveflig ne this unhappy affair. It was
in general the opinion, that the Princes would be im
plicated in the tranfatiion.
This being the Grfl inftance of the Sepoys proving
treacherous to theil" Mailers, it had caufed much a
larrtl, to the European inhabitants of India. Some
f) uiptoms of difaffediou had appeared in other parts
of the country ; and many p-ople feared, that a gene
tal revolt may ha7e been contemplated. W. I.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Friday, Nov. 7.
Carrington v. Robert*.
Thi* adtioi. had been tried before Lord Chief Jus
tice Mansfield at the fitting* after laft term at Guild
hall. It was an infurance queltion, and, a reference
had been made at the time of the trial' to Mr. Wad
dington, one of the Jury, to afcertain the amount of
average damages. Mr. Waddington.on a full invefli
gation of the cafe, was of opinion that a general ave
rage, as to fome articles, and a particular average as
to others, ought to be made, but he found himfelf re
firained from making fuch report in confequence of
certain oblervatiou* which had fallen from the learn
ed Judge at the trial, Teeming to import that it was
referred to him to afcertai* only the particular ave
rage.
Mr. Serjeant Shepherd in this fituation moved for
a rule to fliew caufe why the reference to Mr. Wad
dington fhould not be amended fofor as to enable him
to make a report as to a general, as well as a particular
average. The fadts of the cafe were thele; the fhip
wav iulured. under one policy, and the cargo under a
no titer. Being purfued by a privateer under Dutch
colours, and forced to lie to, the fea however being fo
high that the privateer could not come on board, ano
ther fail appeared in fight. On this, the Captain held
a confutation with his crew, whether they would not
make an effort for the take of preserving the ship and
sorgo ? They agreed; a prefs of fail was accordingly
made, and they were fortunate enough to efcape, tho’
by the extraordinary exertion the fhip was greatly
{trained ; fome of her mafls and rigging were broken
to pieces,and fhe was otherwife much damaged, Mr.
Waddington was of opinion that this being a benefit
conferred not on the {hip only, but in a far greater
degree on the cargo, while at the fame time the fhip
alone was injured, the average fliotild be general, and
fhould affedt the infurers of the cargo a* well as thofe
of the fhip. The Learned Counfel could not conceive
that it would be maintained, if it fhould be agreed on
to fight the fhip, rather than that fhe and the cargo
fhould fall into the hands of the enemy, that the whole
lofs incurred in fuch fuccefsfui contell fhould fall on
the fhip alone. If fo,he could not fee that a contrary
dodtrine was to be laid down in the prefewt inflance.
Sir James Mansfield laid, if part of the cargo had
been thrown overboard, for the purpofe of making
the fhip fit for adlion, there a general average mull
have taken place. But the argument of a general ave
rage in the prefent cafe feemed to go to this, that the
infurers of the fhip were in a worfe fituation by the
fuccefsfui effort which had been made to fave her,
| than if (he had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
The learned Serjeant might, however, take his rule.
vriih the fcfnftahfe of a horfeand two ntn, vHW irw
frven boors thrafh op wards of 150 itoucks of Barley

Mr, John Delafield, of this city, who we un
dcrlland devotes hit time to the fettling and Eliciting
payment of Infurance Lofles, hat favoreJ us with a
London Paper of November Sth, containing the fol
lowing intereding decifious in the Englilh courts of
law :—
COURT OF KING’S BENCH, Friday, Nov. 7.
EARLE AND OTHERS V. ROWCR.OFT.
Mr. Garrow moved for a rule to fhew caufe, why
the verdilt obtained for the Plaintiff in this caufe,
fhould not be fet afide, and a new trial granted. The
caufe was tried at Guildhall, at the Sittings after laft
term, and was an ail ion upon a Policy of Infurance on
the (hip Arabella, employed in the Africau trade.
The Captain failed with inftructions almoft unlimit
ed, except that in every part of them he was deGred
to make the greateff dilpatch iu the purchafe of his
cargo at the|befl market. He failed Grit for Cape Coalt
but upon his arrival there, finding Haves that were
difficult to be procured, and being informed that they
were to be obtained more eafily at Dalmena, a fmall
Dutch port, where there fubfifleda mutual courtefy
between the traders of each country, although Great
Britain was at that time at war with Holland, he went
there, and traded without muleftation from the Dutch.
Whilfl he continued there, an Englilh frigate hove in
fight,by which his veflel was taken, with fame of the
Dutchmen, and was afterwards ultimately condemned.
In going to this port he was ailing for the fuppofed
advantage of his employers. The queflion was whe
ther this amounted to Barratry. For the Plaintiff it
was contended, that it was Barratry in the Captain to
fail to an enemy’s port with knowledge of its being
Id; and in order to fhew that it was not, it was in
infifled that the defendant fhould clearly prove by his
evidence, that the Plaintiffs had direHed their Cap
tain to go there. It appeared that the mailer or Cap
tain of the veffel had no particular advantage in view
for himfelf, by going to Dalmena, which did not alfo
turn to the advantage of his employers. Thu only
advantage he could have, would be by getting earlier
to a market, by anticipating others, by arriving more
early at his market, and thereby obtaining a greater
price for his Haves, and confequently a greater luin by
way of per centage for himfelf ; which it was obvious
would alfo increafe the profits of his employers. It
was proved that it was ufual for the Englilh and Dutch
Merchants, at the Port of Dalmena, tc co-operate ve
ry cordially together in the Slave trade even during
times of war between their refpeHivc nations.
Lord Ellenborough—The Captain entered into an
enemy’s port, and rendered himfelf fubjelt to cap
ture, without any dire <51 authority from his owners ;
but, as he had no advantage iu view, but that which he
had in common with his owners, 1 doubted whether
it was Barratry ; I therefore, gave liberty, to m»ve
his point, and it is fit the queflion fhould be confidered.
As to the agreement between the Dutch and Englilh
Merchants, that perhaps will not help you, although
it be ufual; for they are ailing iu direll violation of
the law.
