The Mew York American, of the 23d last, in allusion
to the recent hun.,urahle acquittal of Capt. HULL,
of she American navy, at Booton, says. that that
pliant officer was driven to this vindication of his
honour by the malskseity of those who were lio•tile
to him. " because he struck the firot blow that
humbled the pride of the Enlist' navy, and esti-
Isli-hed the soperiority of his roautryeneo's skill and
courage."—Now, w"hset doubting either the skill
or courage of the America's, the assumption of
their superiority is an empty boast, of winch we did
not deem a liberal New York paper eapab!e. We
have no wish to me the matter put to the proof;
so the cmifhet, we guess, would be, for both parties,
more samgmwasy than satisfactory.

The increase of Dissenters in all parts of the
country is great and astonishing. In Newcastle the
Primitive Methodists, or Ranters, ss they are
culled. have opened a place of worship ; there is
also en elegant New Jerusalem Church building,
and rnindly advancing towards its completion ; a
new Scotch Church hes also lately been built ; and
nearly contiguous to it is the Brunswick New
Chapel, for the Weslepori Methodist.. Another
Scotch Church is also buikliug sod nearly tiuished
in Hanover-square ; and another new Baptist Cha-
pel woo lately opened in Westgate-street ; and in
that town and neighbourhood the Independent Me-
thodists have twenty-eight places of worship. asp-
plied by Unity-Mu preachers ; while io Newcastle
there are -only fair established churches, one of
which, perhaps, would hold all the inenshers.

There was a good skew of stores, which sold very
low, but in the opinion of many persons not worse
thin formerly. Not a large supply of pigs ; fat
ones, same as last fair ; stores, rather better.

is this, make it agreeable among ?ourselves, whether
you will brine it at now or postpone it till Mondry

it until you are ill fully prepared with the whole
of the infortuation you intro to lay before the
Court."

Mr. HoRNI—" I don't know whether it is your
Loidiehip'a linemen!' that the Noble Earl should be
brought to town to be examined."
The LORD CHAIICILLOR—" Is Mr. Skirrow in
Court ?"

Ludy Portsmouth's Solicitor—" No, he is not,
my Lord ; but Mr. Hamilton, my Lord Ports-
mouth's Solicitor, is in Court, sml lie his inform-
ed me that Mr. Skirroir is pettedly willing to
comply with any thing the Court may soggert ; and
if the Court thinks proper, he is ready to bring his
Lordship to London immediately."

Mr. HAILT—" 1 have no doubt but Mr. Skirrow
is willing to do any thing that is advisable, bat
your Lordship ought to-be informed that my Lord
Portsmouth is at liorstborii Park, where Mr. Fel-
lowes is; and if any body has the care of his Lord-
ship. it must be Mr. Fe',owes."
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" 1 lave no doubt
but when Mr. Fellowes is informed that it is with
view to save expense, he will consent to any thing
of that kind. At the same time, that ought not to
be done until you ton tell me that all your affidavits
are filed, because that falls in with what l said be-

visit ,or see the Noble Lord until 1 have first con.
