eiameyed on board his vessel five, and suffered to
be carried, away five more convicts, and one free
man, from the Colony, inlay of them being the
best mechanics in the employ of Governinast. They
were all set to week the ship as soon es the vessel

were all enrolled io the slate* ankles, and employ.

when Captain Skinner proceeded to muster tie
crew, the Defendant at first denied having more
than three convicts. bu t afterwards owned to six. The
Dromedary's people, however, found nine on shore.
The next day Capt. Skinner sent the prisoners back
to this port, by the General Gates, in charge of an
officer sad crew or the Dromedary. together with dm
Defendant in arrest, and duly two of his own ship's
company.; but his mate stud two more were after-
wards sent hither by the, Prince Regent, of this
port. There was a great deal of aggravating mat.
ter on both sides, which the Court declined to enter
into, in this dry action upon the breaches of the
Defendant's bond, which were so clearly proved.
The Defendant'. Solicitor complained of unlawful
seizure, arrest, and imprisonment here ; and the
Solicitor fur the Crown recriminated with charges
of cruelty and starsat of the convicts on the
sealing islands, and attempts to poison them on
board of the ship. But Mr. Justice Field mid
that these matters could not be inquired into
in this action, and might become the subject of
another. At present the Court had nothing to do
with how the Defendant was brought here: the

the hospitality of the port with gratitude, acted
more like a pirate than the subject +of a friendly

starve. Fur those serious consequences he must
himself be responsible. Although when he IA
this port, breaking through its regulations, he
might not' have expected to have been brought
back by any other constraint than that of perils of

would detain him for the penalties of his bond. Aud
then, and nut now, he should have thoisght what would
become of the fishing parties lie had left on the
islands. Upon proper repressentatious, the Governor
of this Colony world twice measures for the relief of
those parties. All the Coon had to do, was to
decide whether this bond ass not forfeited. They

The Judge could only say that the ezistence of the
Colony depended iiison his Excellency's power to
prevent the escape of convicts, and that, though
hundreds of ships hail sailed front this port, and
(he was afraid) ilanissials of convias had been
carried away, ihis was the first opportunity the
Court had hod of punishing so vital an offelice.
The Court found a verdict for 12 penalties of
spot. each ; eleven fur carrying away :so many
perions, and the 12th for quitting the harbour
without a proper clearance.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,

rHE TURF,

DERBY RACES.

Those race's. which commenced on Tuesday, had
been anticipated with great pleasure: the hoe wea-
ther of 'the last week, the numerous entries of
horses, the popularity of the Stewards (Sir C.
Crewe, tart. and R. R. Wlloint, Esq )s the ex-
pectation of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire's
0r...t0e,. and that of malty others of 'the Nobility
and Gentry in the county. all conspitid
'to ekcite
an unusual interest in this truly Eligthill pastime.
The incessant rain, however, in part detroyed
the expected pleasure of the cootie. The com-
pany in the New Stand, in the booths. and on the
ground, was very thin. end the whole icene, we'
destitute of the *heerYtilliess and piety Which
are usually witnessed do these festive occasions.
The extreme wetness of the 'ally also prevented the
s'ppesranceof the splendid equipages often seen
on the Derby Rare Cetus., particularly that of
the Duke of Devonshire, *ho went to the ground
in • btteelliog harouche with post horses. The
heats, notwithataMing, were well contested ; par-
ticularly for the cup, which could not be de.
sided without a second race. Tarragon end Te.
*kr: were the well-matched horses, which ran in
so dose together .s to make a dead heat ; and the
cup was won by Testers in the next contest, by
scarcely a length. The time employed in running
the three miles was only six minutes and 'nue se-
conds.

A sumptuous Ordinary was provided at the King's
Head, and though only about sixty Gentlemen
partook of it, the company was most respectable.
Hie Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Har-
rington. Lord Kisinsird, the Hon. Col. Cavendish,
Hon. Capt. Curzon, Hon. Francis Curzon, Hon.

M.P. Wm. Even., EN. M.P. J. Watts Russell,
Esq. M.P. &c. &c. &c. were of the limey.
The value cause which had kept away from the
Course and the Ordinary much of the company
preciously expected, had its influence on the hall in
the evening. Though brilliant with rank and beauty
and fashion, yet the number preseut was not so
crowded as is usual on similar occa!iotts. Dancing
w is, however, kept up with great intimation till past

alteration in the prices; some GA Sugars have, however,
Inert sold at very low rates.

The wholesale grocers have been very considerable pur-
chasers of refired goods fur the 'sense con•umptio■ of the
