lstroyed, 33 ditto, severely injured; 456 settlers
houses destroyed; 176 ditto, greatly injured. Pi
t!lcarborou,gh, Rocky Vale, Alonkey Town, Lower
Town of Scarborough, and otherwise in the vicinity
of Scarborough alone-122 houses of all descriptions
(including outbuildings) were totally destroyed ; 84
ditto, greatly injured. The loss of life is estimated
at nineteen only.
The whole of the barracks were unroofed, and
some of the side walls blown down ; the officers'
quarters were entirely stripped of their verandas,
roofs, and shingles, windows and door blown in and
broken, part of the roof of the hospital blown down,
canteen, ordnance stores, and out-building in ruins ;
one soldier of the 19th regiment killed, and another
seriously injured ; several soldiers of the Ist West
India Regiment also seriously injured by the falling
of the ruins. All the officers escaped, excepting the
deputy ordnance storekeeper, who was much injurtil
by the falling of his house, and the fort adjutant
received a contusion whilst extricating• others front
the ruins. By the unwearied exertions of the officers
of the garrison, particularly the officer commanding,
the troops were provided • with shelter and comfort--
able accommodation, under the circumstances (the
rain falling in torrents during the following day),
the greater part in tents erected .in the pasture, and
many in huiidings temporarily cleared for their re
ception. Ihe loss of stores, arms, &c., is immense ;
and from the total destruction of the barracks, it
has been deemed advisable to send the whole of the
white troops to Trinidad, for which purpose the brig
Judson has been chartered, and sails for that island
this evening.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was occupied nearly the whole of the
day with a case arising out of an order made by Mr.
Baron Platt respecting the delivery of certain title
deeds, upon which it was contended a lien was held
by the attorney to the defendant.
The particulars of the case were not of sufficient
interest to the public to warrant a lengthened report.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

BOOSEY V. TOLKIN.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES applied for a rule to show
cause why an order obtained by the defendant in this
case, and made by Mr. Baron Parke, should not be
rescinded. The order directed the plaintiff to strike
out the first and second counts, or the third count of
the declaration, it being alleged by the defendant that
they could not be pleaded together without a violation
of the ordinary rules of Court in such cases. The
action had been instituted in consequence of the
alleged infringement by the defendant of the copy-
right of an air contained in Bellini's opera of La
Sonnanzbu la.—Rule granted.

COBBETT V. HUDSON.
At the conclusion of the business of the Court, Mrs.
Cobbett appeared on the floor of the Court, and re-
quested their Lordships to issue a habeas corpus,
calling upon Captain Hudson, the Keeper of the
Queen's Bench Prison, to bring her husband, William
Cobbett, before their Lordships, for the purpose of
showing that the return made by him to a certain
writ was a false return, and that her husband was
illegally detained in custody.
The COURT promised to look over the return, and
give their decision on Monday.

their proper time. The railway trains, too, have been
in many instances delayed, and the omnibuses, instead
