THE GREAT EA-SURN.

'The Times correspondent on hoard.the Great,Eastsrn
reports the effect of the gale. Capt. Harrison and the
whale crew were •at their posts • reedy to run the -ship
out:if necessary. :23etween two and three o'cloek the
wind;almost equalled the force of hurricane, at times
erkirg at the masts asif it would-snap them off at the
deck, making the ;Gnat Eastern i-tremble perceptibly
throughout her immense length and breadth, as if:some
giant-hand was shaking her.
liqaptain Harrison's waterproof -toat was, on his way
along the deck, blownkto ribbons ~,off him, and he him-
scilf at last carried before the g,ale,:and blown down and
tunibled along with auch violence as to receive some
severe contusions.
:The saloon skylight were blown up, and. rain and
Wind poured into the.ealoon. ,The upper •,wood-work
waSileaking at every sea, and the mower decks-soft and
plasßing from the' drippings.
t'Tiliree anchors -were down . and: appeared taut to the
very, utmost. At ;:6; the breakwater works were giving
waiy,•ivortions of the.kwreck once.cr twice • fouling the
screw, and it was7-found necessary to swing :by one
'anchor. At 10 30,mm., it.-parted, and the ship was
adrift; rolling and tumbling towaxd,the,shoie. -A:second
heaary anchor was let:go, and the screw moved ahead,
butaizgain fouled. The paddles were-then driven round
:at- opted, and were somewhat danaaged by the; oating
timbers.

The-election to the Chancellorship of-the Universitty
of Edinburgh took place yesterday. Tke numbers
were—for Lord Brougham, 654;; .IJuke of Baccleuch,
419 ,majority,23s.
The '.7iliteB; ID.tily News, and Past have each a leader
on the loss of the Royal Charter. The article in -the
Times is simply A narative of the sad event. The two
other joYv-nots are critical.
The aloacester Election Commission has terminated
its public proceedings, having sat 24 days. Some
further evidence will be taken in Loudon, but merely
to clear up a few trilling points.
The will of the late Robert Stephenson, Esq., has been
worn to by the executors. The personal property alone
was valued for probate duty at £400,000, which is
exohisive of the freeholds.

The Times has a leader on Lord Brougham's speech
at Edinburgh, and says—We were never more serious
than when we hail in Lord Brougham an almost provi-
dential medium between English and French ideas.
. A cireular from the Horse Guards requests that
officers commanding regiments.and depots will discourage
by every means in their power officers smoking in the
mess-room. The Commander-in-Chief does not, how-
ever, object to their smoking in the ante-room.
A deputation of merchants and others, interested in
the trade of the Cape of Good Hope, waited, yesterday,
on Sir 34orge Grey, to present, an address, when he
announced his intention of accepting the offer of Government to resume his position as governor of that
colony.
The books at. Lloyd's again display a fearful list of
wrecks and casualties, principally coasting vessels, but
still the pecuniary sacrifice must prove enormous. One
large vessel, probably an emigrant ship, it is feared, has
gone ashore at Fishgard, though at present definite
Inforniation has not come to hand.

. (Before E. jA.mns, Esq., Q.C., Assessor.)
RICE ,V. MELLADEW.—This action was raised at the
instance of Mr. Rice, merchant, in Liverpool, against
Mr. Melladew, cotton broker, on a disputed right to re-
turn eight bales of cotton, which were alleged to be
inferiorJ. to. s a
Asprnmp laen

.
the plaintiff, and Mr. Brett and Mr. E. M. Fenwick
for the defendant. It appeared that on the .26th
S.
itcalffiaiesmedap w
pa:art fordB6 s.
of July last plaintiff sold to the defendant, through Mr.
Chinn, cotton broker, a lot of 44 bales of cotton of "
ordinary and good ordinary quality, at 6tel. per lb.
The annual terms in the cotton trade is payment in
ten days, or three months discount on approved bills' at
three months. If the cotton is proved to have been
falsely packed, it may be returned within twelve
months. Mr. Chinn, according to the usual practice, sold
the cotton to Mr. Melladew by samples taken from each
bale. On the expiry of the ten days, defendant de-
sired that the cotton might be allowed to remain for,
a short time, as he intended to send them to - Hull or
Glasgow, but ultimately it turned out that he had bought
them on speculation, as he sold and delivered 28 bales
to Messrs. Houghton, Vance, and Co., of this town.
In the meantime a dispute having arisen as to the
quality of eight of the bales not being equal to sample,
the plaintiff's broker, Mr. Chinn, refused to deliver any
more, unless defendant would agree to take all the
sixteen. This the defendant refused to do, alleging
them to be falsely packed. Mr. Chinn, however, insisted
that Mr. Melladew should fulfil the original contract, which
he eventually agreed to do, and having taken delivery of
them, returned the eight he alleged to be falsely packed
next day, availing himself of the privilege, already
alluded to, in the cotton trade, of return within twelve
months. The question thus at issue was, whether the
agreement was valid against the custom of the trade.
The evidence given by .tr. Melladew was to the effect
that having examined the cotton by his warehouseman
the day after he entered into the contract with Mr.
Chinn, and finding that eight bales were falsely packed,
he immediately objected to take delivery of them. On
Mr. Chinn and Mr. Rice peremptorily insistinc, that he
should take them, he agreed to do so, but with the
pro-
viso that he would not promise to keep them. Having
taken delivery of them, he returned the eight bales, paid
the balance he owed on the thirty-six, and sent a debit
note discharged to the amount of £B6 ls., being the
price of the eight bad bales. Several witnesses were
called, who deposed that they examined the eight bales
and found them falsely packed. The jury, after con-
sulting for about half an hour, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff.

ACTION FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.-HICSS, SEN.,
AND Hicxs, Jux., v. BUSKIN.—In this case, which was
undefended, Mr. Brett, who appeared for the plaintiffs,
stated the circumstances to be as follows :—On the 20th
of September last the defendant, who is a horse dealer,
belonging. to Ireland, but who occasionally transacts
business in Liverpool, met the senior plaintiff at his
place of business, 19, Regent-road, and offered him a
horse for sale. The plaintiff sent • him to his son at
Egremont, who purchased the horse for £24, agreeing to
pay £lO on the following Monday ; the balance, £l4,
to be paid in the month of May next. On Monday the
defendant gave both plaintiffs into custody, on the
charge of horse stealing. The case was heard before
-Mr. Mansfield, who dismissed it. This action was
brought to recover compensation for injuries sustained
to their character by being brought up on such a charge.
The jury returned a verdict of £5O damages to each
plaintiff.

WARD AND OTHERS V. COULBOURN AND ANOTHER.
—This was an action raised to recover damages for in-
jury sustained by a steam-boat. The damages were
claimed under three heads—for injury done to the boat,
for wages paid to her crew during the time she was laid
up, and also for loss of profit, which thus accrued to
the plaintiffs. Messrs. Grey ifldl3lttt appeared for the
plaintiffs, and Messrs. J. B. Aspinall and S. Raffles for
the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiffs were
owners of a steam-tug called the Storm King, and the
defendants were owners of one of the Seacombe ferry-
boats, named the Thomas Wilson. On the morning of
the 31st of December last, the first-mentioned boat was
preceeding from the entrance of the Bramley-Moore
Dock to the Sloyne,-for the purpose of towing out an
outward-bound vessel. V4thin a short distance of the
=Landing-stage the Thomas Wilson ran foul of her, carry-
=ing away a portionof ohe of her paddle-boxes and injuring
the paddle._ The Storm King was thus laid up for three
weeks. Ur. Aspinall contended, for the defence, that the
captain of the Thomas Wilson took the course which he
conceived was ,correct, and which, in- point of law was
right, for •he acted according to the well-known rule,
that when two vessels are in danger of coming into
collision, it is the duty of both to port their :helms. The
captain. of the plaiittiff's boat, on the contrary, put his
helm to the-starboard, whichwas clearly the wrong course.
The learned Assessor, in summing up the evidence, said
it was for •the itu'y to decide whether the captain of the
defendant's boat vbeyed the law, knowing that it would
produce akoollision, or whether he did not see that the
helm.d the -Storm King had put to the starboard in
time to take •another course. The jury, after a short
deliberation,. found a verdict for the defendant.

LivEmrooL POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY,

(Before Mr. MANSFISLD.)

.A COWARD LII ASSAULT.-Bridget Welch was sum-
moned aby.2ridget Donnelly for assaulting her. Mr.
Cobb appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Bluck for
the defendant.—The complainant, who appeared with
her face and arms bandaged, stated the defendant was
an innieeper in Bannister-street. She had gone to
another publio-house for some beer, and the defendant
being jealous, as she was -returning had her dragged into
her house, threw some hot water in her face, and then
broke the jug over her head and body.—Several wit-
messes mere :called to prove the case.—Mr. Bluck, for
the defemee,,.-called witnesses to prove .that it had been a
regular fight.—Mr. Mansfield, after hearing the evidence,
said he 6onsid.ered one party as much in fault as another,
and the ease,would be dismissed.

SERIOUS •CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—A respect.
ably attirodTerson about forty years of age, named John
liart, who •was described as residing at 44, Crown-
street, was charged with embezzling various sums of
money, 'the property of Messrs. Fletcher and Co.,
tobacco manufacturers, Fleet-street.—Detective Officer
Marsden stated that when he told the prisoner the
chug!, he said he was guilty, and that he had been
carrying it on for seven years.—Mr. Fletcher said the
prisoner had been in their employ as head clerk for the
last ten ,years. It was his duty to go to St. Helen's
two days .every week, to collect accounts and make a
return of what lee received. Ile had been there on the
13th, but he had given no account of £lOO he re-
ceived from Mr. Bliukhorn, of St. I;re/en's. The sums,
traced to him at present amount to from £BOO to £l,OOO
They had the greatest confidence in him—as much as
though he had been a partner. The prisoner was
remanded for a few days.

THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.

THE INQUEST.

The inquest on the bodies was commenced on Friday
afternoon at Lianallgo Church, before Mr. William
Jones, coroner of Anglesea, and a jury who were sworn
in Welsh. It was an impressive sight, when the coroner,
standing at the communion table, surrounded by the
group of dead and mangled corpses, amid the audible sobs
of those who had recognised their friends, commenced
his melancholy task. Mr. Moore, solicitor, of Warring-
ton, !Wore the opening of the inquest, asked the Coro-
ner what course he intended to pursue ? The Coroner
thought he should be satisfies, under the melancholy
circumstances, with the identification of the bo-
dies. This having taken place, the Coroner
proceeded to Penross Church, where he also charged
the jury with the investigation into the circum-
stances of the death of the bodies lying there. The
inquests were adjourned until Wednesday next, at
twelve o'clock. In reply to an application, the coroner
undertook to have an interpreter provided.
Several parties were present, who stated that they
were prepared to vindicate the character and memory of
Captain Taylor.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFVL INVENTION.—There is nothing
that houseivives complain of with greater truthfulness than_
the breaking of some favourite piece of glass, valuable china,
or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such things cannot be
matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want
has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention,
by Mr. Adsheacl, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement
that may be said to heal in a perfect manner, all cracks and
breaks in the articles spoken of, and not only in these, but in
marble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not be
dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our
neighbour's, ani the glass that has been cemented by it is
stronger in that part than in any other. The article is very
cheap, and no house can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the
agent for its sale in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for
themselves by looking in at his establishment. Agent for
Liverpool, E. T. Hall, 23, South John-street. Sold in bottles,
