ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS.

TUB:DAY, NOV. 14.
The adjudication of the following cases has taken
place :
Litany, Silva, Master.—lt appeared that too gui-
neas had been demanded of the Master of this ship
for piloting her from off the Island of Portland, to
the Downs, which was resisted, and a tender of 28
guineas made. The Court had the assistance of a
Trinity Master, who was of opinion that the sum
tendered was amply sufficient, and the' Court pro-
nounced for the same with costs. _ _

Eleanor, Hall, Master.---This was an appeal from
a sentence of condemnation of the ship and cargo,
.which passed in the Vice Admiralty Court of Hali-
fax. The vessel, on a voyage to Antigua, put into
Halifax (az asserted by the Master) in a state of dis-
tress, where she was seized for a breach of the Na-
vigation Mt. The Court took time to consider its
Sentence.

The Managers of the private Theatre:in Kilkenny,
have paid to the several charitable institutions in that
town no less a sum than 1081. us. tid. being the
produce otitheir late dilletanti performances.

DEBATING SOCIETIES.—These miserable meet-
ings, which under pretence.of cultivating elocution,
are in reality but hot-beds of delusion and sedition,
imperiously call for the.most rigorous and prompt re-
gulation and controul. The placards and hand bills
which they publish to gull their visitors, are both in-
decent and scandalous. One of. these has assumed
to itself the censorship of the MagiStracy, and the
right of discussion on the property of individuals ;
another has most impudently proposed a question
combined with a circumstance which has occasioned
great distress in two worthy and respe&able families.
It such proceedings are to be tolerated, to what
length will they not be carried ! Are questions
which are to become the subjeas of investigation by
that palladium of England, a British Jury, to be pre-
maturely discussed by these twelve-penny TuLLY'S,
these shirtlessCicaao's, these invisible Is° CRATES'S ?
What a door ,for extortion will be opened, if matters
of private-rights are to be bandied about by these
half-starved reformers ! The bombast and pomp
with which the solemn decisions of these ,sublime
Forums areannounced iza their placards,rnight furnish
a constant subject for laughter, if it were not painful
to refleCt how easily the young mind is led away
by the cant of liberty, which always flows in a full
stream from the mouths and pens of these free-
thinking, free-speaking, and free-ateing gentle-
men.

LONGEVITY.-Sk•ah Williams, in her 108th year,
