Sir B. MARTIN (in reply to an Ago de by Colonel
Davis on a former night) stated that the Turkish vessel
alluded to had entered this country as a merchant ship ; that
lie sessel wee n,,t mounted with 58 guns ; and that 400 British
seamen were not on board. There was one such seaman on
board ; it was true 40 bad heeu spoken to. If the vesselton-
traveuettthe laws, it must be answerable for the consequences.
(Hear, hear.) It must depart as a merchant vessel.
Col. DAVIS said he was perfectly satisfied with the explana-

good authority.
Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from Homey, High.

Mr. GOULBURN said, lie could not tel had been

Mr. HUME hail raised no question on that subject; but be
newel question the propriety of appointing Mr. Plunkett to be
one wif the commissioners. He was too young a man, he Lad
not experience enough for such an office.
Mr. GOULBURN said, whatever might be Mr. Plunkett's
age, he mast deny that such gentleman was deficient in the re-
ea isite experience and ability. Petition ordered to be printed.
ALIEN 13114..—Mr. PEEL moved the third reading of the
Aliens' Regulation Bill.
Mr. BERNAL opposed the bill, though the state of the
house did not encourage him to go iuto any details. The bill
was now avowedly a precautionary measure ' - it was not to
meet a specific evil, but it was a bill perpetual in its principle.
Mr. WETHERELL strongly supported the bill. Such a
power must be lodged somewhere; and Aire could it be
lodged with more advantage, with more security, than with the
Crown ?
Mr. DENMAN opposed the bill, contending that its principle
was unjust, and that it operated most injuriously, as far as the
character and best interests of the country were concerned.
Sir R. WILSON also opposed the No. There was not in
all the Peninsular Governments any thing which at all resem-
bied an Alien Bil , and it was disgraceful to the British Go-
vernment to have one in this country. He considered the bill
es derogatory to oar character abroad, and injurious to our
interests at home. He had no donbt the bill would pass this
night, but it was satisfactory to him to know that an hon.
friend of his, the member for the city of Durham, would move
its repeal et an early period of the next session.
Colonel STANHOPE defended the bill, which he said, so
far from oppressing foreigners, protected them. The well dis-
posed Ibreigner, who came Isere for business or pleasure, would
find the country open to him for either of these purposes; all
that this bill did was to prevent the ill-disposed and desiguing
from making this country tbepestthouse of Europe.
Mr.ScarFett and Mr. Lockhart opposed the bill.
After some further debate the question for the third reading
was carried, on a division, by a large majority, and the bill was
passed.

iDAY, JULY 16.
..NEF. OF JONES)•. ratite.
apo icy of insorannee. In July, 1816,
from Liverpool for the coast of Africa,
purpose a., g home a cargo of palm oil. On the
Nor. following, .. cargo, of which one-fourth belonged
to the bankrupt Jones, was insured tbr 4,5001. In Muy or
June, 1817, Jones received a letter from the Captain, dated
Nov. 1816, stating that the vessel was then at Bonita, that lie
expected to complete the stamps in ten maths, and would
write by every opportunity. This, however, was the only
letter be received front idin. Oa the Gth of Sept. 1817, :ones
Wrote to his brokers in Londln to..elfect an additional inmr-
Wince of 0001. upon the cargo ; iu consequence of which, the
present' policy was executed •on the Stir. On the 10th Jones
wrote another letter to his brokers, stating that his reason for
making the additional insurance was the uneasiness .of Mrs.
Roberts, the captain's wile, at the vessel being so long past
due. It turned out that the vessel was wrecked off Prince's
Island, and the captain and two mates being dead, the Portu-
guese Governor took possession of the cargo, and sold it for
the benefit of the parties. The amount of the first insurance
was paid ; and the present action was brought to recover 2501.
the bankrupt's share of the last policy, which was resisted on
the ground that when effecting the insurance, be lied not com•
municated to the underwriter the receipt and contents of the
cart( ain't letter, by which he would have been enabled to form
airtime accurate judgmelt of the risk he was encountering.
The Lord ChiefJusillie having recapitulated the evidence,
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2501.
GALE AND ANOTHER V. JONES.

This was an action of (rover brought by the assignees of
John Wilkinson, an alleged bankrupt, to recover the amount of
a quantity of oil from the defendant. The cue turned upon the
question, whether Mr. Wilkinson wan or was not a trader
within the meaning of the bankrupt taws ; to establish the affir-
mative of which,
Mr. Scarlett, the lesdin; counsel for the plaintill's, stated
that he wasifiepared to otter some additional evidence to that
which had been adduced in the other cue on Saturday last;
but being afterwards unable to produce the evidence lie ea-
peeled, he said he would submit to a oonattit ; and the plaintilts
were accordingly Galled.

principal proprietors of Visnxball-gardees, attended

wing given very great and general offence to the

stated, that at I I o'clock the defendants entered
and showed at that moment a disposition to insult
. They hallooed through the walks, broke through
companies, knocked •off the hats of gentlemen, and
iln every respect the conduct of the theatricsl heroes
example had operated so much to the injury of the lower
There were tunny pet sons of distinction in the gardens
at the titne,and the chief proprietors thought proper, upon learn-
ing tint the defendants were persevering in this scandalous
course of amusement, lirst, to send Mr. Simpson, the superin-
tendent, to expostulate with them, and afterwards to place them
is the hands of the police. Mr. Simpson's interference Inning
produced no other effort titan that of exasperating them to a
more offensive line of conduct, the advice and threats of the
officers were laughed at by the three gentlemen, who continued
to perform the parts they had selected to astonish the pnblio in,
until they were collared and dragged out of the gardens to the
watchhouse.
Hall, the officer deposed, that by the direction of Mr. Simp-
son, be followed the defendants, and saw them insult several
gentlemen. There were other fellows Au the gardens, who wit-
ness believed, were of the same party, and constituted a very
formidable gang ; but when the defendants were disposed of all
order was quickly restored. One man appenred in a Highland
dices, and having attracted notice by that singularity, and by a
very close imitation 01 the Tom and Jerry school, occasicnally
drew a dagger, to the terror of the ladies, and brandished it in
a most theattic.4l manner. This gentleman became as quiet as
the rest, upon finding that the proprietors were determined to
remove all blackguards, Witness added, that the defendants •
told him they ss cot to the gardens to have a lark.
Mr. Chambers expreowd great indignation at the condnct
pursued by the defendants, and highly approved of Mr. Bisti's
determination to bring such offenders to justice. There were,
he observed, two courses to be proposed—the one was a pro-
secution ; the other a fine, upon pain of prosecution, and a public
apology in the newspapers. Either of these would be satisfac-
tory, but one of them was indispensably necessary, as well fur
the sake of the proprietors as of the public.
Mr. fish said heshould proceed upon the suggestion of the
magistrate, and the defendants declared that they were ready to
comply with the mild alternative proposed by Mr. Chambers.-s-
They had, they said, drank too much wine.
The proprietors merely demanded, that in order to pre-
♦ent a prosecution the stun of forty shillings each should bo
paid by the defendants, and that the apology should be signed
upon the-spot. This being done, the money was sent off to the
committee now sitting for the relief of the famishing Irish. Mr.
fish declared that the proprietors had determined to have this
gardens most v i ilan fly ss atched, and to punish every person who
disturbed the company.

Norma AND GENEROU3 A cr.—Tnestlay-week, being
his halt.yearly rent-day, Thos. Strickland, Etq. assem-
bled his tenantry at Stzergh, where they partook of an
excellent dinner, and alter the cloth was drawn. and a
tew agricultural sentiments were d k, T. Strickland,
Esq. rose, and expressed himself to the following purport:
Gentlemen, it is the fiat time I have have had the
pleasure of meeting my tenantry on such an occasion ;
and I do assure you I am highly gratified at seeing you
all around time, and it shall always be my entleavoi.r to •
sties,/ you creryitossible indulgence to make you com.
fortahle. thorouAly convinced you have used
every exertion, during the depressed state of the times ;
and from the various reports I have read, and from my
own local knowledge, I well know th t the distress of
the agriculturist is great. I have, therefore, given orders
to my agent to draw his pen across all arrears due to me •
prevtous to last Christmas. The heartfelt gratitude of
the truantry, for this noble act of their generous land-
lot d, was expressed in a manner which made the ancient
nail re-echo. This is an act which needs no comment.

Ott Tuesday afternoon a poor wretched woman Milled
Catherine CAL., went into the shop of Mr. Palmer,
linen-draper, Ketightsbnilge, under pretence of purcha•-
ing half a yard of cheap muslin, and whilst the shop-
men were otherways engaged, contrived to conceal set e-
ral yards of diaper under hc•r clothes. On her leaving. .
the shop one of the shopitten perceiving her ra►her bulky,
followed het to the d tor, and stow her with•the diaper.
She WI Ott her knees and implored tue.cy, stating that
,he was compelled by distress to commit the act. By
this Bute a constable arrived and took her to %eaten-

house, fastened her in, and left her. In the evening the
constable coming to set the watch, found her suspended
with her shawl by the neck front one of the bars of hr r
priton win w. She was still warm, and every means
met! to re,fnre her, but in vain ; tl,e vital spark had fled.-
A coroner's inquest %vat held on the bod, and a person
of deplorable appearance claimed her as I sister ; said•
they had lately come from Margate to Loudon; that their
way of obtaining a livebliood was ‘ery precarious; that
the deceased frequently quarrelled with her, and, upon
the whole, the Jury were humanely unanimous—lna(

fit of lunacy.
