sion was sued out in the month of Illay, and in the month of June
following, a joint commission was sued out by C"ter Win" both
Read and Davis, under which he bed been appointed sole assignee,
being, as he alleged, • creditor of the estate, in the amount of 20ui.
upon a bill of exchange, for which a valuable consideration had
been given. The petitioner now preyed that the assignees under
the first cnnimission should account to him, so assignee under the
joint commission. It appeared from the affidavit in support of the
petition, that the bill had been drawn by W. C. Moulton, on the
bankrupts, who indorsed it over to • person named Parsons, who
again indorses, it over to Coster, who alleged that he had given
goods and cash for it to Parsons. Now, as Parsons had not himself
been brought forward to contradict this, he, the Learned Counsel,
submitted that the consideration had been proved.

ST. DVXVTAN'S IN THE WEST.

TO TUE EDITOR OF TILE BRITISH PRESS.
Eta—l attribute it principally to a want of acquaintance with
the slides of this parish, that your Reporter has represented •• a
numerous meeting of the parishioners to have decided, by a large
majority, against inquiry." But as such a statement, especially
when coupled with allusions to fraud, must necessarily tend to the
discredit of the parish with the public at large, I rely on your jus-
tin and Mims:milky for the hisertion of the following facts:—
First, It should be :downed, that the overseen are In this parish
constantly chosen by the inhabitants at large, in a general melting,
and not, as in roue others, by a self.elected Select ‘'estry. It
should Wadded, that the 'Votary itself is also annually chosen by
thu parishioners in a general meeting, and act as auditors of the
accounts of the overseers.

itecoudly, It ought to be known, that so far front any secrecy
Wilting on the subytet of the parochial accounts, the Books are
constantly open to the inspection of any parishioner at tire vestry
clerks office; and that the vixy individuals who brought forward
the motion for a Committee of inquiry hail themselves, as a Com-
mittee of Inquiry, been actively examining the books for more than
six weeks put.
Thirdly, The teal ground of objection to the formal appointment
of a Committee was this :_That after this six weeks' examination
nopound had been shown tin such a measure; no abuse disco-
rened—no malpractice detected. The only charge attempted to be
mad. was, that the rates had not been closely collected ; to
which it was replied, that the greater part of the sum net ob-
tained wea only the amount of a litigated claim on the Inns of
Court, which could not be Teraina nil the termination of the
leweatit.
It wee for these reasons solely, that inquiry was within every
one's mph, without such a trotninittee, that no ground of suspi-
cion or disteuet hid been adduced ; and that the poet °dicers were
of highly respectable characters, that the meeting declined sp.
point a Comutittee, and resolved, by " a large majority'
That the parishioners felt the utmost confidence in the ability
and integrity with which the overseers for the last four years had
discharged the duties of their other, and desired to return them
their warmest thanks for the •Aue."
I remain, Sir, your. respectfully.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION.

EXTRACT Of' A LETTER, DATED THURRO, MAT $l.
" The llecla arid Fury passed through the Pentland
Frith yesterday afternoon, with their colours flying. They
had a fine favourable lirmze, and as it still continues, it is
supposed that this eve,ting these brave men will, for
a time, bid farewell to the shorts of their native isle.
" They were piloted through the Frith by a fishing-
swack, the master of which reports, that the crews of both
vessels were in great spirits, 80 most of them who could
write, glially embraced the opportunity of his returning
to the shore, to forwaal a few farewell lines to their rela-
tions awl friends.
" An official despatch for the Admiralty, and a hag of
letters from each ship, which were sent to the 1 sustom-
house here, accompanies' by a polite card from Captain,
l'atry, have, in t. nos of his request, hi en forwarded by I
tlt,. Hasa, agreeably to their several addresses. The im-
pression on the seals of many of the seaman's letters was,
'l'houol lost to sight, to memory dear ;' a motto no
doubt reciprocal to the fetlings of their friends at home,
who, from this time, must feel a deep anxiety for the sue-
cers and safety of these brave and intrepid adventurers—a
fecling iu which their countrymen in general must also
partieilate:'

A punster, during Iliniter, is a most inconvenient ani-
mal. Ile should, therefore, be immediatily discomfited.
Th • art of disetnnfiting a punster is this:—Pretend to be
deaf, and aft. r lie 'lna committed his pun, and just before
he expects people to laugh at it, beg his pardon, and re..
quest liim to repeat it again. After you have made him
'do this three , say, 0! that is a pun, I believe. 1
never knew a ',linger venture a third exhibition under
similar treatment.

A fine singer, after dinner, is a still greater bore, for he
stops the wine. This we pardon in a slang or drinking
song, for such things serve as shoeing-horns to draw on
more bottles by jellifying your host, so that though the'
supply may be slow, it is more copious in the end; but a
tine-song-singer only serves to put people in mind of tea.
You, therefore, not only 1t:34: the ciiculat►on of the bottle
while he is getting through his crotchets and quavers, but
he actually tends to cut otf the final supply. Ile, then, is
by all means to be discouraged._

ticular regard, is nevertheless a quack. I never saw so

his shirt collar. Ile is no inure an orator than his country-

TWELFTH.

•• ----- 7 There is a kind of mythological jacobitism going just
now which 1 cannot patronize. You sic Barry Cornwall,
and other great poets of his calibre, running down Jupiter
and the existing dynasty very much, and bringing up old
Saturn and the Titans. This they do in order to tthew off'
leaning; and depth, but they know nothing after all of the
Isky gods. I have long had an idea of writing a ilithy-
ramble, in order to show these fellows bow to touch off
mythology. litre is a sample—
CIIIIIC to the fleeting, there's drinking and eating
Plenty and famous, your bellies to cram;
Jupiter Ammon, with gills red as salmon,
Twists round his eyebrows the horns of a rain.
Juno the she-cork has harnes I I her peacock,
Warming the ray with a drop of a dram ;
Plicrbus Apollo in order will follow,
Lighting the road with his old patent Ham.
Cuckoldy Vulcan, despatching a full can,
Limps to the banquet on tottering ham ;
Venus her sparrows, and Cupid his arrows,
Sport on th' occiodon, tine infant and dam.
Mars, in full armour, to follow his charmer,
Looks as ferocious as Highlander Sam:
Jocus and Connie ride tandem with Monius,
Cheering the road with gibe, banter, and bon.
Madam ',storm, the old Robs Boas,
Simpering as mild as a fawn or • lamb,
Drives with Aurora, the red-nosed Signora,
With fingers as rosy as raspberry jam.
These is teal mythology for you!

Mrtbri.—A poor 1111 M, seeking for herb% vas murdered by a
man named Reran, at a place called Batterfield, county Kerry, on
Wednesday, by repeated blows of a pitchfork.—Dabfire Papfr.
A Saves DEFEXCE.—On Saturday evening week, at dusk,
six men, in arms, broke into the house of one Matthew Griffin, who
resides in the vicinity of Caber, and the reception which this coura-
geous fellow gave his unwelcome visitors deserves to be recorded.
The first man who entered was about to approach Griffin, who hap.
pened to have the tongs in his hand, when he instantly knocked
him down ; another of the party immediately struck at him ; he,
however, succeeded in knocking him down also, but not till the
miscreant missed fire with a pistol ; at this juncture, a third man
extinguished the lights, and made an unsuccessful attempt to shoot
Griffin, whose determination to resist dispirited these assassins, and
caused them to decamp. At some distance from the scene of their
defeat they discovered that one of their comrades was missing,
when they returned, and found him in Griffin's custody, bleeding
profusely from the wounds he received. On removing him they left
behind a sword and two hats, which we hope may lead to their de.
tection. Griffin, who is nit more than a year in that neighbour-
hood, is unable to ascertain what was the object of the deluded
wretches. The sword and two hats have been sent to Lord Glen.
gall, who has, we understand, expressed himself in terms of warm
approbation of griffin's conduct—Dab/la I'm-ma's Journal.
On filoodayingbt, a short time after nightfall, a party of armed
men came to Ballinita, near Ardlinan, pursued and fired at a man
of Mr. Burke's, who went out a short time before to look after the
stock. One of the balls passed through the crown of his hat, and
carried sway part of his hair; fortunately he fled into the house, or
tbs banditti would, DO doubt, bare murdered him.

TffE WEST IArbIES:

Letters were received yesterday from Demerart of the,
23d December. They mention that the colony still re;
mained in a very agitated state. The events of the Christ=
mas holidays (the negroes being allowed eight days of
feasting and i leness) were so much dreaded, that the
Governor had prohibited the negroes on the east coast from
engaging in their usual sports, and had recommended the
planters to withhold their allowances of runt, &c. The
fears of the colonists had, however, in a great measure
been removed, by the arrival of some troops, a detachment
of the 23d regiment, from Cork. The following is an
extract of one of the letters :
" Demera
" Martial law is expected to be discontinued after thera,Dee. t
Est:in
If the present alarming and agitated state of this colony would
allow at &jest, the following is one very current in George Town!
The Negroes being on the wharfs, seeing detachments of the
Scotch regiment landing, stated, that • Their friend, King George,
must have been in a great hurry in sending out the @oldie», es they
had been sent off in such baste that they bad not had time to put
on their breeches.' "

Yesterday we received the following intelligence from
Jamaica: as it is not of a later date than that previously
received, it contains nothing further relative to the recent
insurrection :

JA MA ICA, ec.
Admird Sir L. W. Halsted and family, and IrisD MajesU.ty's
Commiverunera, the Coaeul.tieneral, and some of the Consuls foe
Colombia, were entenained during their stay for one day at Dar_
bb at a Otani a ids jourdiette, given by Mr. Cavan, of that
Island.

The edict produced on trade on the Swish Main by the arrival
of the Commissioners and Consul- General at Jvmaica, has
been of a most favourable kind ; houtes at this Island are pre•
=
to establish branches in Colombia, and the influx of
trade through the Atlantic ports alone of Colombia, is
expected some to reach four or dve millions sterling. It will re-
uue u wards of thirty days for the Commissioners and Consols
to get up the Magdalena to Hands. The stream sets down
very strong, and the sails are furled up the whole way, a Imes.
scarcely ever prevailing on the river ; the heat is very excessive,
and a species of hard.biting mosquito infests the river in myriads.
The usual mode is to encamp on sand-banks every night, with
! mosquito-nets suspended over portable beds, or cots. The Consul.
General takes his Lady and family and the sufferingsthey will have to encounter in the Mare of no ordinary

DOMINICA.

The following is an extract of a letter from Dominica, dated De-

freedom was strived—that they had only no days to work for their
masters. The consequence a this was, a combination of the whole
gang to come so the Governor; and that they might have some pre-
text for such an set, they committed several petty thefts on the
manager's stock and that of the estate, and cut a great many of the

degree, dieeppeinted, fur he only took away their woos (leisure
after dinner time) for line days. This mode of punishment did
not Wit their putpOse, and a difference in opinion, in consequence,arose among than, and they determined, instead of coming down
in a body, only two should be sent to represent their grievances.
A man and woman accordingly appeared at Ooveroment House,
when their case wu referred to a Magistrate; they were in cus-
tody till the manager was sent for to explain, who came to
town; in the meantime four more came from the same gang.
They were brought before two Magistrates, and behaved in a
most insolent and provoking manner; yet these negroes had
received more Indulgences than any gang in the colony, end
nearly double the privileges the law allows, having got, every
Saturday since crop was finished, in sddition, a regular allowance
of fish and salt„ when it could be got ; and instead of any severity,
they had experienced the utmost lenity and comfort. This wn
proved by the driver, and some of the people themselves; and die
driver distinctly and manfully stated, that for some time past he
could not get the work of the estate done as usual—that the negroes
were sulky, and insolent to him that their constant conversation
was about freedom, which he supposed some persons had put into
their bean. He said he knew the same ideas prevailed among all

Our garrison altogether does not consist of more than 100 men,
as whew not men than BO are effective, and about as many of the
U West India regiment; how far the latter can be trusted on such
a service as they are likely to be required for, is a matter of doubt,
particularly then at Prince Rupert's, where there is not a single
white soldier to control them. We have applied to the Com-
mander.in-Chier for 1 reinforcement, but 1 tear we shall be die-'
appointed. Our population, you know, is upwards of 16,00 it
slaves; our militia, small in number, is dispersed over the
island ; hence the difficulty of assembling them to act efficiently
upon an emergency, and, even in the case of concentration, the
eatatsa must be left unprotected."

FRANKFORT PAPERS.

Frankfort papers to the voili ult. reached us yesterday
morning. The following are extracts:—
FRANKFORT, JAN. 82.

Mr. ROthachild retuned • few days ago from his journey to
Nsel. It is said that ins Royal Highness, the Elector, has PM -
tracted with him for a loan of two millions of dollars.

FETES/BURG*.

On the 6th January the anniversary of the deliverance of Roils
from the invasion • of the French, and twenty nations In alllence
with them," was commeintwated with the usual religioussoleumity.
The city was illuminated in the evening.
DRESDEN, JAW. U.
The firm stone of a monument to the illustrious Leasing, was laid
at Cameos, on the King's birth-day.
CoLoowE,
From tl2O report of the C6lllmlssioners, relative to the liqui4lation
of the ciaitn‘ of the Rhenish provinces of the Prussian 3lotiarchy,
originating in the period when they were in the hands e• France, it
appears that the whole amount of the claims recognised in the yeah
18'11 and 111211. was 3f.X17,741 francs; nearly 2v minimal are
claims, for which a lie claimants ha titles, and about 6,410,611111
claims fur which no legal title could be prodticed, but which are
allowed as equitable.

REDUCTION IN TUE RATE or BANK INTEREST.—..
Little more than a year ago the Banking Companies of
Scotland reduced the rate of interest from tour to three
percent., and they have now, it is said, come to the reso-
lution of taking oft' another ptr cent.; so that the new
rates will be as tcllows

On money at present lodged in sums not exceeding ISIVOL, in-
terest to be allowed at 2 per cent.
On money deposited on accounts to be opened, where the sum
exceeds I,INWL 2 per cent.
On suns under 1,9001., 3 per cent. to be allowed as at present.
These are the terms of this Bank of Scotland—terms to

which the other companies are expected to adhere, with
some immaterial differences, that bear verry little upon the
general principle. Nay, it is even said, that Sir William
Forbes and Co. have apprised the public, that, in future,
they will allow no interest whatever upon sums exceeding
5,0001. —l)einyi•ies Courier.
We believe that resolutions to the effect alluded to have
already been adopted by the other great Banking Com-
panies in Edinburgh. Indeed, so great is the difficulty
in making profitable investments of capital at present, that
according to the information of a correspondent, bills of
undoubted credit have been discounted in Glasgow at Xi
per ceut. —See/so/am: _ _

Glasgow and Paisley geods are sold in Nieseow as cheap
as in this country, all smuggled of course, but regularly
stamped with the marks of Ilnasian manufacturers. The
poor Emperor is thus made to believe that Russia will soon
supply all the world with muslin goods ; and to benefit his
thriving manufacturers, he prevents the cultivation of the
soil, the real wine of wealth of RUS44.—Wargoto Herald.

SIARI.11:1ROUGII-STREET.

Yesterday, Joseph Brown, an aged and infirm man, whoa* gene.
ral appearance was that of poverty and wretchedness, was brought
betiwe Sir GE°. FARKANT. by Wright and lineUer, the officers
lichit.ging to the 31endieity society., charged with having for •
length of time practised the grossest impositions on Earl Urowolow
and the members of his Lordship's family.
. .

31r. Walker, the acting manager of the above useful institution,
attended on the part of the Society, and charged the prisoner under
the 3d clause of the Vagrant Act, as • common vagrant, having
obte.itted, under fraudulent and false pretences, various same of
money front the Eel of llrownlow, which offence subjected him to
an imprisonment of three calendar months in the llouse of Car.
rectum. 31r. IV:ill:a then produced • bundle of begging
letters, written by the prisoner to the Noble Earl, and stated that
be Ind been in the constsnt practice of annoying his Lordship
with these epistles, which contained the most appalling accounts
the human mind could suggest of the privations and bodily in.'
tinnities of himself and wife, the latter basing been confined to
her bed for a long time. These distressing appeals to his Lord.
ship's feelings, procured from him the desired object, and the pri-
soner was continually and liberally relieved.

The prismier, upion being (aid on for his defence, said he had
been brought up by the Noble Earl from a child, and he and his
family were the only friends he had in the world, and if he was
sent to prison it would be the death of hini. . .

lle was then committed to the tread-mill foe one month. Ay he
left the bar, he said he should be much obliged if his Worship
would order him to be executed, instead of sending him to prison,
as lie was quite tired of his life.
Bro Born, the pugilist, made his appearance at this Office yes-
terday. he having been apprehended on a warrant, by Valentine,
the ( 'dicer, fur cruelly beating a watchman of St. James's parish,
named Samuel Burridge.
The Magistrate ordered him to find bail to answer the charge at
the Ses.ions. A■ lien retired from the Office a summons was
screed upon him fur keeping his house open at unseasonable hours.
