all his father's property, and a suit was instituted to aw '-taw what
was the amount f the sister's torture; this suit was 1.'41 pending,
and no account had yet hem rendered by white. it coeld be deter_
mooed what was the actual amount of the lady's fortune. In the
meantime the Court ordered Culotte' Manacle 12 make an allow-
ance for her maintenance.
Alva OHADWELL, as counsel for Mr. Prawn, row maintained
that Colonel Memack ought to he compelled to make hie si•ter a
handsome alluwenee, and he conceived that 4041. a year woad t not
he thought extravagant. The sum which hal nitberta bay ad VA I,cd
wan comperatively of a eery trilling &m00t.% The mder pro-
nounced by the Court had not been con-plied %int Sctoe e 'meet
which had been required t and he apprehenthed that his Lordship
would have no difficulty m thmettng a referer.ce to the Alseter„ to
ascertain what, tattler the circumstance*, v ould be a fair and equit-
able &Bowel:lee.
Mr. Suanrit opposed the mettien. Re ebietved, that one of
the objects of the present motion was, that the defendant should be
compelled to state the amount of this young lady' a fortune. For
the very purpose of ascertaining this tact, the snit had beer or*i,
orally inaututed, and was now pending. How wan It possible,
therefore, until the CIAHHBAHOE was eirecluded, that the plaintiff
should be able accurately is state what woe the amount of his stage's
(online. He conceived that there was no pretence whatever for
asking that a sum of StiuL a year should be alloyed, at d that
with eoual grace a sum of 4.9091. might be demanded. Colonel
Marsack had actually given Wel. a year, and intoulee to emanate
that son until the suit was determined. 'What pretence, therefore,
was there Mr this motion ? The claum set up tor :feel. a ye.r, he
supposed, arose out of an idle rumour that this young levy's for-
tune amounted to 10.000 L or 11.990/.; and live per core., it had
been erroneously conjectured, Ira, an equitable allowance. lie
hoped, under all the circumstances, this maim would be clisitinsed
with ceete.
Mr. SHATIWEL L. in np:y, said, that it was well knowe diet
3lajor Alareack had, ',dime his death', made ample provision foe
his daughter, who was sull an infant of little mute than 1G years
of age.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Court had no power to
compel Colonel 31arsack to make a greater allowance; but hc
should wish him to state, by affidavit, what be thought we. the
least aunt to which tin, young lady would be entitled. this
purpose thin question might stand over for a week, and at all events
the defendant should have his cove.
Mr. scepter observed, that the amount of the ladt 'a fortune
had not yet been ascertained, and it was ini.poesibie for Colonel
:llarsack to know what it was until the ease was determined.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the Court did not want to
take a farthing out of the hands of Colonil 31:asset. Such an
affidavit as be had stated would be useful to pine the Court in its
opinion as to the amount of the settlement to be ultimately made.
At present the ('tart was completely in the dart as to .he probable
amount of the lady's torten,. He knew it was Mr. Shativll's
ibject to get all be could ot.t of the plaintiti: .1s to the MN:. a-year
the Learned Counsel had as much cuanee of getting It as he (Lord
Eldon) had.
The motion therefore stands over until this affidavit is flied.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at the Mauritius,
dated fth April, 1821:
" We have much regret in acquainting you, that this island was
visited with a very severe hwrietine on the 211 February, which
has done considerable damage to the shipping in harbour, and has
entirely ravaged the interior of the island. %Ve have the painful
task to add, that there is little reason to doubt that his .Mitiesty's
ship Delight, Ci.ptain flay, must have foundered, with every one
on board, during that gale. !le was distinguished about three
kagues from the land, on the evening of the '...111 l'eliruary. Se.
wend pieces of wreck were washed an shore two days after the hur-
ricane, to the northwenl of the island. which were instantly recog,
nisei as belonging to the Delight, by a Midshipman and the
sistant-Surgeon, as well as by the Quartermaster and tire sailors,
who had been previously put in charge of a French slave brig, and
were by this circumstance providentially saved. We give a list of
their names, for the satisfaction of their friends, viz. Wm. Murray,
Midshipman ; %Von Adamson. Assistant-Surgeon ; John Popc,
John Jennings, John Eenr.eily„ and John Anderson, stamen;
Austin Drown, and John Jenkins, royal marines.
" To Julio Bennett, Esq. Secretary to Lloyd's."
The following infOrmatton is derived from Captain Tratlcr, of
the Neon", from the Isle of France, which ship arrived on Friday
in the Downs, and remains, viz.—

" Arrived at Mauritius the ti.ilowing :
" April l.—'l'he Avon, from Itengal, with lues of topmasts and
bowsprit; General Stock, of Salem. with pepper, disrusmed.
'• April Lt.—John Barry, thirty.firc (tars from the tape of Good
Bop., all well, for bourbon; 'Unger, (lark, from ('hiss, with
loss of formulist.

•• April 24.—Pani%h ship Johanna Maria, Itan::•;;;11, with loss
of rudder. _

" April 21.—Willisto Parker, from South America, with mules.
" The King George the Fourth, Prermtck ; and Albion. hest,
Lave partly repaired their damage, and will %ail in a short time."

SUSPICION or Mt tor.a.—ln our last papzr (says a
Leeds Journal), we mentioned the nalanch, ly death of %Valiant
Oill IVhiteley, of this place. who was found on the tnnniirg
before our publication suffocated in a midden. nc.:r Tittible ltrnl
and that the Coroner's Jury had adjourned from Friday to Satur-
day. to give time to receive evidence. On Saturday evening they
re-assembled. and under the imp:T.l'4on the.: :he deceased haring got
upon the wall to climb upon an adjoining Int ilaing, had fallen !Had.
long into the soil and there perished. they returned a vertlict ut
" Accidental Ileath." Notwithstanding this verdict, the relations
of the ill-fated man, from a number oat concurrent circumstances.
entertained a belief that he was wilfully precipitated into the loath.
some situation in which he was footed, by sonic murderous hands,
and that he fell a victim to their vielcnce. I 'rider this impression a
toward of one hurcircd pounds is offered for such information as
may lead to the conviction of the offender or offenders, and it is
hoped that if there suspicions hr well fo•Jaad, the murderers will
be overtaken by Fublic justice.
