VICE-CILINCELI,OR'S COURT, JUNE It.

NON-ATTENDANCE OF COUNCIL—His Honour the VICE-
CflAsccgr,ton, this day, struck out the following causes, viz :
—Gardner v. Rowe, Gardner v. Marsh, ex-parte Spurrow, ea -
parte Marsh, and the Bishop of London v. Loyd, in UMW.
quence of the non-attendance of Counsel and Solicitors. Ht
Honour observed, that when so much was said of delay, it was
but proper that the Warne should fall on the parties who
caused it ; and if Gentlemen would not attend, the Court must
do its duty.

Surinam Papers of the 9.1 q .of M3y contain
the following article :—" On the night of the I I th of April the
Dutch ship William the First took fire, and after burning of}'
her stern cables, fell on board the Dutch ship Betsey, which
also took fine, and both were consumed to the water's edge.
They were large vessels, both loading on their return, the for.
mer for Amsterdam, the latter for Rotterdam. The only life
lost was the Captain of the former, whose body was picked up
in the river three days after the fire. The tire was occasioned
by one of the sailors smoking a pipe while stowing cotton in
the hold."

TURN-OUT OF THE JOURNEYMEN BRICKLAYERS.
This body of men have left their work, in consequence of the
Masters refusing to comply with their demand for a rise of
prices.
DISTURBANCE AT BUCXINGHAPI FICHISE.—AbOut 2AI
journeymen carpenters went yesterday in a. body to Bucking-
ham Ilousc, to compel the men at work there to leave their
employment. Two of them did so, and at length it was found.
necessary to call out the military, both horse and foot, which
had the effect of making them disperse.
MARLDOIIOUGH-STREET.—Sir Jas. Colburn eppeared at
this Office, at the instance of the Parish Officers of St.
George's, Hanover-square, to show why he should not relieve
them from the burden of supporting his wife Lady Colburn.
Sir James proved that the officers of that parish had no claim
upon him, as it was in that of 31arylebone that he had gained a
legal settlement. Our Readers will recollect that the Lady
committed bigamy by marrying with a person of the name ok'
Ventura, and therefore Sir John did not consider himself
bound to support her. The Magistrate dismissed the case 'as
being now entirely in the hands of the officers of Marylebone
parish.
On Wednesday last four deserters from the
24th Regiment, who had been placed in the town prison at
Truro, made their escape, by forcing the fastening of the door.
and then scaling the outer wall, from which they lit themselves
down by tying their blankets together. One of their com-
panions, who had incurred the displeasure of his comrades.
was left behind asleep. On awaking he was surprised to find
himself alone, and the door open. Three of the four who
escaped were taken tht next day at St. Columb, and ..onducted
to their former quarters.—Wornwall Gazette. )

Fute.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out at
the house of Mr. ROWLEY, White-street, in the Borough,
which totally destroyed the same, and damaged the adjoining
buildings; but the speedy arrival of the engines prevented tis
further progress.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DlLOWNlNG.—Yester-
day afternoon, about four o'clock, a boy lathing in the.river
opposite Pig's-quay, Blackfriars, went beyond his depth, and
twice disappeared. Mr. Rose, of Adelphi.wharf, happened vi
be passing the spot in a sculler at the time, and having stripped,
was about to plunge into the water with a view to rescue. the
boy, when a waterman succeeded in raising the latter by means
of his oar, and he shortly afterwards recovered, and was taken
ashore. ome means should be adopted to prevent so danger-
ous a practice as boys bathink, in the Thames, which is fre-
quently attended with the loss o life.
k very pleasing performance by an American
author, has lately appeared. It is a tale of
olden times, called A Peep at the Pilgrims en
1636, a most interesting period, and it contains
a faithful and accurate delineation of characters
and opinions, of which we have in general but a
very confused notion. The Pilgrims are those
worthy and rigid sectaries who passed over
to New England, to enjoy beneath a stern
climate and amidst the savage sons of the
desert, that liberty of conscience they were
refused at home. We there see these men
whom history presents in such a repulsive
form, cheerful, mild and benevolent, and
exercising all the endearing charities of social
life. They are finely contrasted with the
savage ferocity and energy of the aborigines of
the country, and the views of the Indian scenery,
and the sportive frolics of some of the youoger
actors diffuse a pleasing colouring over the whole.
Whoever reads the book will not regret the few
hours it has occupied.
