LOSS OF THE ERNE.

With regret we state the loss of his Majesty's
ship Erne, 9.0 guns, Capt. T. Scriven, C.B. which
misfortune occurred on the night of the Ist ofJ one.
on a reef of rock', off the Isle of Sul, one of the
Cape de Verd islands. She was on her passage to
the coast of Africa. The accident was occasioned
by mistaking the south for the east end of the Isle
of Sal. It blew very fresh, and iu twenty minutes
she filled; shortly afterwards her mainmast fell,
hut fortunately without hurting the yawl, which
was on the booms ; the mizets-mast stood, by which.
at daylight, the boat was launched, and the wreck,
which had struck two cables length fron► the shore,
drifted to within one cable's length of the island, on
which the officers and crew and a small quantity of
provisions and necessaries, were landed. In the
course of the night the wreck parted, but the crew
steadily persevering in holding ou by the remains,
they were all saved. The island is inhabited only
by about a dozen slaves; an American brig, bound
to the coast of Patagonia, took the officers and crew
off, in a few days afterward, and lauded them at St.
Jag°, where Captain Scriven chartered a small
schooner for Barbadues, from which island they em-
harked in a transport, and arrived at Spithead un
Saturday morning.

Extract cf tt letter, dated Cadiz, July 49.—" The
late affair at Port St. Mary's still remains enveloped
in a great deal of mystery. One of the principal
ricturs in it was a Colonel of Artillery. The infec-

toady CUD account for his so suddenly changing sides.
The conduct of suing other officers of high rank is

LAW MTN L LIGENCS.
COURT OF CH ANC ERY, lawcours.l NH,
SATURDAY, AUGUST 14.
GORDON T. GORDON.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, on coming into Court
this morning, said he lied appointed to give juitg.
meta in the above important case this day, but
wi,hing to give it the fullest consideration, he was
water the becessity of postpnniupt it till Alunday.
Mr. MONTAGUE applied to the Court on behalf
of • Bankrupt, praying that he might be at
brrty to surrender himself. He was a foreigner,
and not acquainted with the strict forms of the
law, and the severe punishment awarded against
!hose who did not surrender in a gist.' time. Ilia
wife having told him that lie was sure to be tilt,.
euted fur not surrendering, he was so much alarm-
ed that lie ran away, but was now anxious to have
liberty to surrender himself up. There was no
opposition to the application.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, who seemed much
amii-ed with the case, said Ilse poor woo had, iii his
opinion, suffered r 1111 l igh from the fiight 'lulu which
lie was thrown by his wife, and therefore was ut
li-
ber.v now to surrender.

EX-PARTE SANDS, IM THE MATTER OF SEWELL,

A LUNATIC.

This was • petition from the Committee of the
Lunatic, relative to the appoilitment of a preacher
to Quebec Chapel. The Rev. Dr. Bousfield hail
farmerly been the chrgymais ; but other appoint-
BMWs caused hini to re•sgo his situation as minister
of the chapel, and it was therefore enema. The
emoluments from the chapel formed a considerable
Fart of the estate of the Lunatic. The .salon
prayed that it might be referred to the Master, to
retort who was the most proper person to succeed
Dr. Boma&Id. It was delolfid-de that the person
appointed minister of this chapel should be pats
sarssed of talents, to excite popularity, and attract a
numerous audience. This would be a source of
great profit to the estate, ar the seats of the chapel
would be well let, sad of course a greater revenue
secured.

'rile LORD CHANCELLOR arid, he well recol-
lected haring the Case berme him some time ago,
sad be hail let it bland over to Iller what the par-
lies would do. He cauterised that, while he had many
singular applications to him, this was one of a eel)?
hovel kiwi ; nor could he know how, or by what
test, the merits of a popular clergyman for this
dispel could be tried. He should refer the whole
to the Master, u probably the Master would be
found a mach more able judge of what constituted
such popular taleuts than lie was.

The Vice-Chancellor ruse on Saturday. bet his
Honour will reounie his wittisogs et the end of Oc-
tober tu-xt. We understand dist the Lou, Chou.
