PALACE COURT,OcT. 9.
B sTEM IT4 V. Sttoy.—The plaintiff in this case was a widow
woman, nod owner of a house, the occupier of which hail be.
tome considerably in :wear fur rent. She in cousetplence
directed the defendant, %%Ito is a broker, to make a distiew ma
the premises for a qualoer's rent, amounting to 111. Ili.. :id.,
free of all (I-auctions. The defendant proceeded accordingly
to make the levy, and having done so, he waited oat the plain.
tiff, and tendered her $l. 12... and receipts for land tax and
sewers rate paid by the tenant, for 31. 4s.bil. making loge.
ther the amount of the quartet's ueut. Mrs. Bateman re fine.
eil to receive this . , and insisted oil the defendant paying
lice the full sum which lie had been iustreeted to levy, and
the defendant refusing to do so, she brought the preient ac-
tion. CI. 124. had been paid into court by the defendant.
Mr. Agar, for the defendant, contended that his client had
coaductcd•himself in n perfectly legal way ; lie was hound to
allow the tenant the amount of taxes paiil by hint. 'the Act
of Parliament providing that they should in the first instance,
be paid by the tenant, and afterwards be deducted from the
rent.
The Learned Judge, on the Act of Parliament being pro.
duced, held that such was the law, unless there was a specific
agreement to the contrary, which there did not appear to be
in the present cave. The plaintiff not proving any such speci-
fic agt cement was nonsuited.

Extract of a letter from a Mr. B. formerly a manu-
facturer in Manchester
PHILADELPHIA, Se PT. IL—According to the promise I
Made you, when we parted at Liverpool, I avail myself of
the earliest opportunity to give you all the information in my
power relative to my situation and prospects here, premising
that my stock of information cannot be very extensive, as
only arrived the latter end of July. I was detained nearly
six weeks at Cork, waiting for an opportunity to ship the at.
tides I brought with me, and without which my coining here
would have been worse than useless. At last, a tavoura'►le
moment arrived. and all was g•tt safely on hoard, and escaped
the prying vigilance of the Custom house officers; and we
arrived here after a pleasant passage of 29 days. I immedi-
ately waited on our mottle! friend, Morrison, and found that
by his exertions, the extensive ',remises we were In occupy,
were in a considerable state of forwardness, so that by Christ-
mas at farthest we expect to begin our operations. In the
interim, my time will be fully occupied in superintending the
construction of the machinery, from the tnotlels I brought
with me. I liod the mechanics here far behind those in Eng-
land; and, were it not for the tin re I brought with me, I
should quite despair of ever completing the arduous task in
which we have engagrd. I can say little of this country at
present, tiot having been a mile beyond the limits of the city
since I arrived. I have, however, met with many whom I
knew in England. There are, indeed, many hundreds here
who have recently emigrated from the United Kingdom; and
not a vessel arrives that does not bring an accession to their
numbers ; among them are many who are extremely dissatis-
fied, awl are resolved on rewriting again to England. This
is not to be woodered at, when we consider the many thou-
sands that are continually emigrating here without ally pre.
concerted plan. or the least knowledge of the country. Many
of these, if they do nut meet with situations in the place where
they first land, immediately feel disgusted with every thing
around them ; and, instead of penetrating to the interior towns
of the Union, where there is, I am well informed, room for
eoun•less myriads in all the useful and handicraft professions,
they fall into a state of Is-Burgin stupor, and sigh for their
native country. I advise no man to emigrate who feels hime
self comfortable at home ; and above all, I would have 11011
come here who imagine they can procure a comfortable live
).hood with less exertion than is required in their native coun-
try. There are too snail, idlers here already dissatisfied and
disgusted with their change. The Consul's office is daily
beset by these, who having remained until they have expend—
ed all their money, arc craving to be sent back as distressed
British subjects; and many are sent at the expense of the En-
glish Government to Canada. In short, I would have every
man who wishes to emigrate, to well weigh every circumstance
before lie makes up his mind on so set ions a measure—iuulas_
try, prudence, and economy, are quite as requisite here. to
enable persons to make their way through life, as they are in
England, or any other part of the globe ; and without these
esseutial requisites, a mate be hi: profession what it may, only
exchanges for the worst. What surprise‘` me is, the Omit.
tress of all articles of English inatintactitle. Manches.
ter goods can be purchased; here, and, I am informed, in all
the sea ports of lilt Ulllllll, fur very little noire than what
they can be procured for Ul/ the spot. But this lam credibly
informed will not long he the C.1711' ; fur us the infant wtauu•
factures increase, a higher duty will he laid on importation."

front the respect which is tine to the hospitality that the Spa•

of our Colonies, when constrained to seek refuge in them, we
hope will prove Oil further elucidation to have no truth. The
report, as stated to us, is, that about the IBM or 19th ult., a
small vessel, bearing, the independent flag, soiled from Ore-
several British officers on board, for the purpose
of joining the standalli of that party in Venezuela ; that at
the time of their sailing a Spanish vessel of war, in the inter.
gists of the Royalists, was lying in the harbour, undergoing
some repairs, but immediately sailed in purse it of her unarm-
ed oppommt, which she is supposed shortly to have overtaken,
and that the whole crew of the small vessel, amounting to
seventeen or eighteen persons, had been murdered by their
barbarous pursuers; as the Spanish brig returned the next
morning to her anchorage at Grenada, and on her crew being
mustm ed by order of the Governor of that bland, in cone

several were found deficient; which was supposed to have
been occasioned by a desperate effort on the part of the un.
fortunate British officers to board the superior opponent,

would give no satisfactory explanation of the cause of the de•
ficiency in their crew.
