INIERCANTILK SHIPPING.

Extract from the *sot to Lloyd's at HA Octobes.,l4.
On S:tturthy last it blew a heavy gale 'from 8.1 C,,, 4lid at.
ten in the morning several vessels were seen'running for the
H umber, but before the last of them could weather the point,
the wind shitted to W.S.W. with a heavy sea, and she was
driven upon the Stony Bank ; she instantly went on her broad.,
side and shipped a heavy sea, which is supposod to have swept
away the whole crew, as they all perished. The name of the
brig cannot be ascertained, but some of the vessels in company
fancied they saw the word liimrkilns' on her stern ; she had
yellow sides, with half ports, green lower masts, • and. green.
boom, with a sliding Bunter royal mast, white mast.headat and,
white tops, and top gallant-sail, marked fl. Tudgay, jun.,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

LORD BYRON'S CAIN.

Ilow-S•ritEr.T.---Yeitterday a notorious Individual of the
name of Themes Price, appeared before Mr. to,
complain of the conduct of a printer residing in Ileaofort,build.
logs, Stiand, of the name of lien johnson.
Price stated, that immediately on the appearance of Lord
Byron's Cain, he determined on publishing a cheap edition of
it in numbers. For this purpose he employed Mr..lohnson,
who agreed to have two numbers always published in advance,
being paid always for one nuMber. He hail, in pursuance of
this agreement, sent Mr. Johnson paper, which !emit between
31. and 41., and three engravings, for which he was charged
3/. 17s. 6a. Mr. Johnson now refitted to give him any corn-
pensation for paper or engravings—he even refused to let hint
havea foiv.copies of the work, which he stated to be completed.
Mr. lltNsltUt.t. asked if there were any regular, contract,
and at the mime time desirtd jaw ato state what arnittar
helliid to make to this compitint.
johnson,,• an industrious l,aiing man, IVlMittrd that he oil:
employed by Uric', to print 11:e work in question, but
With the understanding that when two Numbers were printetl,
the first was to be paid for. repeated'y called on 'Prier for
his !vinous, but to no purpose; price ,vras nut to be seen, nor
had he any fixtAresidence. Semi two years or better had now
elapsed since thNitiercement was nook, and although he'could
get no moneytill.he set up the work, and had now toy him (*fl-
eapit:a, which were of noziore use to lint than wash: paper.
Price—What objection can you have, as an honest Mall, to
make me some reconmence for my parer and engravings( which
cost me above W. ? All 1 oak is a few copies, Ul give away as
presents.
Mr. Mixsitur.t.—"l have not read the work myself, but from'
the character given of it by the gentlemen now around me, the
order I should make it' could would be, to have every one of'
those 900 copies committed to the (km a.
Johnson---I assure your Vrorship I have lad a great deal of
trouble with this business, and in the course of a laboriout life J
never had any thing so much to regret as t.) have had any deal—
ing or intercourse with this arm:Mine Raril7ca, ar I have heard
him called.

ilcre a gentlemen present informed the 111alistrate that Price
had within two years been committed from this office ol charges,
of embezrleinent, seditiOn, and passing bad silver, which might
account for the difficulty found by Air. Johnson in dilcovertng
the " local habitation' of Price.
111 r. Miss IT ea.—Price does not certainly come here with
Very clean hands, hut justice must b. dorm Lim as far as we
c.th. • What is your substantive e.mtp:aint ?
Price—That I have had no return, and no Compensation for
my paper and engravings.
Mr. Throitinte.---But then you have net performed your
contract ; you• have not paid as4yott promised.
Johnson-1 never had a sine,: farthing, your Worship, and
I have expended in labour above 12/. The work is of no use
to Me now, for an edition at one-third of the price his-sines
boot published.

erice--But, your Worship, the agreement has nit been per
formed at either side, anti it is too bad that 1 shall lore oil.
Mr. Ml:est:ix lA.—Under ell these circtunstuneeii, I shall
disiniss the complaint, 'Whatever perey is wrung; will find re-
dress in a Cettrt of lA*.
Upon lted.ring this decision Price rctir,,d precipitate/3,, and
apparently in high iludgeosiithat his complaint WAS eie rnesitedly
treated.
Tllll 1,1811 BOATS 01i` lIILLINGSGATE v. T 111:,
GRAVESEND HOA
The master of one of the Gravesend sailing boats was sum.
moiled before the LbRD Illavott yesterday, st the instance of
the Yeoman of Billingsgate Market, for having refused to re-
move frOnt the side of the market when he was directetto do
to. irhe master of the Gravesend boat denled
.the right se.
order him away, and upon this issue was jci . -
The eity Solicitor attended to epithet ti e ease for the 'prose-
cution, which excited great interest amongst the proprietors of
the fish boats attending tha market, and mu a of the Gravesend
boats. It appeared that it is .ettstome.ry at the market to ring
a bell at high water when the Gravesend s " east otr"
from alongside the market and make room for the fisiting boats.
Tile defendant, on the occasion in questien, did not east off at
high water when required by the Yeoman of the market, and
some boats with fish could not, in consequente, get in. But it
was proved in behalf of the defendant, thet It 2-could only get out
his vessel with great danger and exertion, re there wars at t' e
time a hard gale of wind. The prop lens s of some of the
Gravesend boats contended that they had LI preseriraivo eight to
place their boats alongside the market, and that they were not
bound to remove when it was inconvenient for them to do ao.
They had been acevicorned for more t an one hundred yeah to.
place tin r boats air noitie.
The City Solicitor read the Acts for the re.rgulation of the
market, and proved to the satisfaction of the ,Lord Mayor theft
the Gravesend boats were only Plactrd alongside the market by
su&ratiee, and that they had no legal right, there. The whole
atilt: dock and market was exclusively devoted to the fial)-boall,
On the Lour: M Avon declaring his opinion N.,Ningt the Pro.
o. of the Gravesend boats, they appealed to tie Lordship
not to drive them entirely away. They had been greatly injured
by the SteAM-bUtS, and Were severely reduced; but if theytaere
driven from alongside the market, and forced to lie off lit the
middle of the stream, their utter ruin would b theronsequence.,-
es no one wottld pay sixpence to be put t n board their boats,
when for the icitt,e price they might be put on board the were
boats. It Wll4 only the greater cheapness of the Gravesend hoots
that saved them horn being extirpated by the steanrboats,
which the public so inconsiderably encouraged.
On the part of the prosecution, it WAS declared that there was
no intention whatever to injure the Gravesend boats by driving,
them from the market : it was only intended to settle the right:
and provided they Made way at highwater for the. fish boats,
there waft no intention to disturb the present prattice.
The LORD MAYOR expressed his satisfaction, at thicdeela-
'en, and the case WAS then dismissed, it being understood
-he Gravesend boats must always give way for the fishing

of a probability of insurrectionary movements on
- the part of the Slaves in a particular district, he
bastened to thy. spot, n'ccompanied by a-small de-
tuctlmpot of mouotffil militia, with the object, in
the fir.it instance, of securing a principal ring•
leader, which Was accomplished, The Goveraor
having attempted, by personal expostulation with
detached partiei of the revolted Negroes, to,de.
ler them from their criminal enterprise, but with.

:out success, he felt it necessary to proclaim
• .Martial. Law, and to direct those military move.
' Ments against the insurgents on the 19thand 20th
of. August, which, as our readers have been ap-
prised, were carried on with uninterrupted success.
. On the 20th and 9.(2d the Governor issued the tWO
Proclamations which we pu Wished yesterday, and
on the Jlst of August, the period when the "dis-
patches were sent from the Colony, the revolted
,laves had all returned to their allegiance, stir-
, rendering their arms to the military authorities,
'ith the exception of on© hundred negroes,
who remained unaccounted for. The professed
-object of the Insurgents was " Unconditional
Emancipation." The eXplanatioo disseminated
`throughout the Colony that all measures of
amelioration must entirely depend upon the good
conduct of the slave population', had produced
• `the most satisfactory impression. No accounts
• have been recehed of any Whites having been
'murdered id cold blood, although many were
• placed in the stoc)ts, and others treated ith

personal intli;z,nity. The General Coort.martial
cottiutres sitting in George Town, for the trial

had been executed. The reports from Essequibo

awaits many of their comrades, who have been
imprisoned, and are to be tried by a military tri-
bunal as Constitutionals. At Xeres, San Lucar,
Port Royal, and All the neighbouring villages,
these violent measures have spread consternation,
and hundreds of the best families have abandoned
their homes, taken refuge in the mountains, and
become wanderers, and almost robbers, to sup.
port their existence. The effervescence among
the loner class of people is intense ; authorised
to satiate their pitssions, they hunt ,alt those
who are compromised as blood-hounds on the
scent, and. assassinate them when disco-
vered...-.L- The state of the country is dread-
ful ; it surpasses all description in anarchy, con-
fusion, and bloodshed. The French do little
to prevent these cruelties, but should they de-
part, universal depopulation and desolation must
ensue. The French,we understand, have already
sent fast-sailing vessels to Toneriffe, cuba, and
South America, to summon them to surrender to
the Allied arms, and to return to unlimited obe-
dience to King Ferdinand. What influence these
emissaries may have is not known, but I lear►t
from good authority that the United States have
anticipated them in their views at the llavannah,
and that it is believed .England will not allow
them to revolutioniie the Western World..

" General Downie, Colonel Browne, and many
other Officers confined with him, have waited
upon his Majesty and the Duke, and have expe-
rienced the most flattering reception, The Ge-

[ N f:NV Vti Es.]
The consternation caused by the King of
Spain's Decree continued the whole of yester•
day. The day before there were many people
who wished to doubt its authenticity. We for
our part could give no positive assurance that it
was genuine ; hut we, distinctly said, we believed
it would turn out to be so ; and the event has so
ftir corroborated our opinion, that we see the De-
cree published in the Jou'rnal des Minds and the
unofbcial part of the Muniteur. In Paris the
alarm among the Spanish Bondholders was greater
evert than in London ; the old Bonds tell
thuro from 44 to 33. The {tenter; had not expt—
ritired so material a decline, the last price
being 00 45 With tic in like manner the
Orock was ahnost Wintry confined to the Bonds.
Consols closed at 831; but the Spanish Bonds
of 1821, after having been- at 284, closed at
3Of ; 'those of the prestiheyerir had been at 22,
but their lust price was 24: most of the other
Securities were slightly depressed: The holders
of Sparkish Bonds have a lingering hope of their
ultimate recognition. We have stated .what we
think the justice. of,,the case °; but the Bond-
holders must remember that they have, no claim
whatever on the support of Government. If they
can make their own terms, it Is well and good ;
if not, they have no other prospect.

[ltoltYt N'O ERA.T.D.I •
Iri a IN/Liming contemporary of yesterday, we
observed the, following paragraph, .put forth
ane.of Orticles , '
" the lianiebliectOrs have' adopted a resolution which is
likely to he of essential service to ;the agricultural 'and landed
.interesni—we mean,that of lending en, mortgages. Acme very
congiderable lauded proprietors haveln consequence been enabled
to reduce Materially the 'rate of interest they
,had previously
Wen acenstouredlo pay on that'speelestof security: We have
been abil exactly • to ascertain thetratenf Interest actually
charged by the Milk,. which, however. -wehave reason to be_
Bete' rinetn be a fixed'eate,, but prObably varying in a certain
degree ,with tho estimation of the -borrowers credit and re.
.sourceo. probable that the Directors, as this is a mode of
employing'Mosey by the Oink which is wholly, npw, will limit
itellrA within certain bounds the capital devoted to that use."
Our contemperart congratulates the, country.
generally, and the, anded lute:est in particular,
.on the rdlief likely!to,he'derived from this new
rneasAtre oft the part' of the 'Bank Directors. So
Jaras the :measure will enable landlordS to 'get
rid, in less time thait they otherwise could do, of
the mortgages they have already effected.at the
rate of five per cent., by- borrowing money at
.three or four percent. on their estates, we concur
in opinion' with our contecoporary,and no further;
because we .think,. that if a man has beeti silly
enotigh to mortgage his land at a high rate of in-
terest, the sooner "he gets rid of that mort..l
gage the better." tie Who 'mortgages his estate
is generally a very extravagant or a very ava
ricious,,,man. The extravagant man regularly
spends 'mere than the income :arising from his
land arnounts. to ; and in the long run he is
obliged to mortgage. Out the avaricious man,.
when he tinds.,that land is rising in value, as it
hay generally been for tine last thirty yeurs,
in the hope
_of, improving ids fortune, mertgage
one estate, in order to purchase another with the
'meanies St). raised, and whiCh he wOulti raise at any
rate of interest order:to'effect his 'object.—
This practice has been carried on to a great ex..
tent tiering the list thirty years; and to this spirit
of speettlation, seising from avarice, may be at-
tributed a great_den I of the agricultural distress
which has in tely afflicted proprietors of land,
tvhen land, Hite nit other t hinge, took a turn,
and regularly
_fell in value as it bad risen
before,,..,,The principle, however, of a corporate
body lie the Bank of Eugland, which possesses
an uncontrolled coinage of circulating medium,
ving iii itself the power to put forth such me.
diutnfor the purpose of lending money at all ,by
Way o(mortgage, either on lands, houses, or any
thing of u, tangible nature, is most unwarrantable
and dangerous., The.assumption of such a power
mightev_entually produce one of the most dread-
ful aristocratic tyrannies that the world ever
witnessed. We all know how extremely innpro.
vident, human nature is in general. Those who

!iv° in a state of prosperity—and especially those
who have been bred and born in it, are generally
very improvident, foolish, and extravagant.

[Tut Trues.]
Our journal of to-day presents more particu-
lars, and some possessing considerable interest,
of the effairs of Spain, since the liberation or cap-
ture (we know not which to call it) of the King.
They are the scraps after the feast. One spark
of spirit appears to have shown itself after the
departure of the King : the militia in the town of
Cadiz are said to have ordered the gates to be
shat, and to have refused admission to the French ;
when Ferdinand himself ordered them to submit,
and to receive the French garrison. By what
authority could Ferdinand do this? or what right
had the French to accept such a boon? They
professed that they came only to liberate Ferdi-
nand ; they had liberated him : he was with them.
Upon what plea, then, could they afterwards
take military possession of the chief city of his
dominions, where all was tranquil and no one 110(1
opposed the departure of the King ? And if his
Majesty possesses his kingdom, as he asserts,
jure divino,surely.nothing short of a revelation
from the original donor could entitle him to alienate
a part. It was on the sd. inst. that the French
troops-entered Cadiz, and the fleet soon after,—
Orders have been given to disarm the, militia of
Madrid and Sevil:e : we are glad of this, for the
measure indicates distrust on,the partof those who
have adopted it: and when men have hearts, they
are not long in finding arms. These militiamen
are said to be now hardly able to lift up their eyes,
and to he ready to die with shame : so they well
may, but we believe more for their leaders than
themselves. However, they are still not without
the. means of wiping away their shame—opportu-
nities will soon occur. Mina still resisted, when
the last lIPWS came away. He is Said. to have
threatened the severest retaliation if Biego (who
had been condemned' to death) should suffer.
Upon Mine, therefore, all eyes are at present
turned. , 'Accustomed as we are to rely
upon the, unbending firmness :of this gallant
Chief, we, now althost fear that his resolution
may give way. Couriers have been dispatched
,by the King to all the Spanish corps Warmer), ,
ordering them to lei down their arms. The dis-
obedience of Mina would, therefore, from hence-
forth assume .a :more fearful appearance than
heretofore, when the wishes 'of the King could
only be surmised ; yet if .a portion of the Duke
of Aegoulerrie's army is ,to be left behind to oc-
cupy. Cadiz, and the rest have to guard Verdi-
nand's person, we do net see that there are many
'disposable troops to strengthen the forces
before Barcelona, or that Mina's enetniek are
much more qualified to • force him to sub-
*m isSion than before the capture of the King.
If he surrenders, therefore, we sluffl ake it for
granted that it is only because he has. defended
and that furtherresiste
the place to the utmost,
stuns was impracticable. We hope, et all events,
he will preserve himself far better dines : such
men re 'sratee. With Ferdinand it appears.that
the liryui,ition is to be restored. it is of Divine
right too, no doubt !—We are assured that after
the news of the King of Spain's surrender to the
French had reached Paris, M. Rote,
,Chief Se•
cretary of the French Embassy at Lisbon, arrived
with the preposterous • offer of the Pertuguese
fleet and army to aid Abase of Francein the re-
duction of the Peninsula. •This would be the
mustard after the beef, if we may tepose•tonfil
dente in the representations of the French them!.
selves as to the happy termination of 'their
illustrions enterprize. Mr. 'tote brought also
the Riband of the 'Order of Christ to M. de
Chateauhriand. Saez, who is appointed Ferdi-,,
nand's Prime Minister, and who signed the* Pro.
clamation now likely to obtain' so much Celebrity,
is a Canton of the Cathedral of Toledo. He was,
and is still, the King's Confessor.

[narrisn mess.]
Moderation end forbearance are not virtues to
he looked for in n bigot, Ferdinand will exhibit
just as much of both as he may be constrained to
do by necessity ; hilt he is after all a mere puppet
in other hands, and whether he will exercise his
recovered power with temperance, or tvliether the
dungeons of death shall groan with his iictimslis
not a question for his decision : itis tatik is theLof
bare submission to the will of his keepers, and
this he will perform with alacrity, pct It what it
may. Nothing can be more contemptible, in
everrlight in which It can be viewed, than the
language of the " Decree " put forth upon his,
liberation :—" All the Acts," says Article 1.
"of the Onvernment called Constitutional
" (of whatever kind and description they may
" be), a ' system wide!' oppressed my people,
" from the 7th of March, 1820, until the Ist of
44 October, 1823, are deelated null and void,
