however, it was found a. mistake. had:crept-Loos*

name of the husband should also. have Awstkiin.

His Lordship gave judgment in this causi.,
which was a Petition, praying the pay.Ment.of
costs, on the ground of vexatious litigation.,;ilis

well founded, and directed the payment

BRADLEY V. ARTHUR.
The parties in the cause were Lientenant-
Colonels in the Army, stationed at llonduo4,
and the action is brou►tht against the defendant
for a compensation in damages for false imprisOn-
ment. The trial is likely to occupy the whole.of
the day, and, when our Paper went to press, Ad-

VESsICL BW*74T,-111ontlay morning the greatest alarm
prevailed in Shields harbour, in consequence of a tire breaking
out on board the Ship' Cumberland, one of the Newcastle trailers.
She was lying on the south aide of the harbour, near to the
Mill-dams and was laden with a general cargo of meichandize,
for London. About three o'clock intimation being yen that
the vessel was on fire, measures were immediately taken to re.
move her, in order to keep her clear of the other Shipping.
She was run upon the sand below Milburn-place, on the north
side of the river, and her appearance was terrifically grand:
The flames burst forth through the deck near to the mainmast,
and spread to the rigging and sails with a fury almost inde-
scribable. A great number of boats were on the alert.; but
from fear of the mainmast coming overboard, which took place
about five o'clock, they were obliged to keep at a respectful dis.
tance. A fire-engine was at length got to bey upon her, but
the vessel was then so completely enveloped in flame, tJtit every
exertion to save any part of her valuable cargo was fruitless.
Ti' e whole of the 'easel is destroyed, except her twd Ades and
one of her lower
_masts. The amount of the damagreltits not
yet been ascertained, but it must be very corisiderahle.. one
gentleman alone had 2,0001. Worth of whalebone on hoed. It
is not known how the fire originated : some conjecture' that it
may have been caused by two keels of charcoal that mere ea
board.

The Spanish Coestitutional Government was
tharaciarized by 'great mildness. Never since
the beginning, of time was there- a Government
IvhiCh displayed less of a sanguinary and vindic-
tive spirit, The Government which has succeeded,
if Gorertithent it can be called, is chargeable
*OW wholesale' imprisonments, robberies, and
aitinisiitiations. During the whole period of the
COnstitution& Government, The New nmes,
Colitier, And the rest of the Ministerial Papers,
never ceased lauding it with the grossest abuse.
I,:very Artifice was resorted to, every prejudice
was appealed to,' in order to render this unfor-
tneate Government odious in the eyes of the
country. The very Ecclesiastical Reforms, which
rrotestants should have been the last to condemn,
and which religion and morality, not less than
the exigencies of the State commanded, were the
theme of constant invectives. But now that
atrocities, to which those of the French Revolu-
tion were nothing, are constantly taking place,
these admirers of social !order are dumb. It
w'onid seem from ,their silence as if they consi-
dered murder and robbery among the incon.l
teStible Prerogatives of legitimate Governments:

liberal writers of this country,, during the perpes

potism, the latter complacently extracts from the
Madrid Gazelle of the 224, another list of fabri-
cated victories said to have been gained by the
Viceroy of Peru over the gallant Bolivar. The
defeat and dispersion of,the army of the latter
are now represented as so, complete, as to
have induced the 44 Insurgents" themselves to
rise against their Chiefs, and deliver up Gene-
rals Alvarado and Santa. Crux to the Royal
troops. Neither is this all : The 46 Intrepid
La Serna" is made to wait for nothing but the re-
inforcements sent out from Cadiz, to invade the
state of Chili, and reduce it to its former servi-
tude. As to Bolivar, the article says—" he is so
weakened, and his situation so perilous in the
midst of a population which execrates him, that
he will not content himself with flying from
Guayaquil to Panama. Ile must make haste to
return into the Colombian territory, and the time
is not very distant when means will be found to
overtake him there." It must be owned that the
Madrid Ga..;etle has a happy knack at prophesy-
ing; and that it is much indebted to Bolivar for
the manner in which he has helped to realize its
predictions. It expressed n conviction that he
must be overtaken, and behold he himself came
forward to meet the enemy ! It is true that it
was not on the Colombian territory that the
meeting took place, and the battle was fought,
and that his flight has turned out to be that of a
conqueror, instead of the running away of a fug'.
the : but it will only cost King Ferdinand nod
his Editors some of that' inventive skill which
they are so often in the habit of exercising to
give a proper colouring to the matter, and we
have no doubt that with a little care and inge-
nuity they will satisfactory prove to those who
will believe them, that Bolivar's return to Lima
is a fresh proof of discomfiture, and that he has
been driven to that city on purpose by the 64 in-
trepid Viceroy," let he should effect his escape
back into Colombia.

The conflicts between the Bench and the Bar
have been more frequent in ono of our CoUrts
within these few days, than they ever were be.
fore within the walls of the Four Courts in as,
ninny years. CoW per—we don't mean,the Judge,

We consider this captivating description of. things
us quite justifiable in a poet. If he were obliged,
to cull in• matter of fact to his assistance, the
picture would gain infidelity; but to pin a poet
down to precision ie his statements, would be
to deprive him of the choicest of his preroga-
tives. But although Coreper's Reports on this
subject may be good authority in the realms of
fiction, we suspect they will not be quoted with
much reVeretice in the Court of Common Pleus.

['rut: Time v.]
It hi generally believed in the first military
circles, that the question of the expediency of
preserving our possessions in Western Afrieur ut
the ex pence of increasing the army, has.at length
been determined in the affirmative. Tine rein•
forcements, however, will be raised in a manner
the least objectionable to those who are advocates
for abandoning the s,:erie of so much recent
dkaster. Two black regiments are to be
levied, which will prevent the conence and
delay of recruiting in this country. Two white
regiments are, at the SUMO time, intended to,
be formed from convicts, in the tin me manner es
the 60th was raised,. which will strengthen
the white population in our Africun possessions.
These four regiments, with the increased strength
of the 2d West India Regiment, and Itoyal Afri-'
curl Colonial Corps, will, it is supposed, prove
sufficient to make such u demonstration against
the Ashantees, and our other enemies, as shall
obtain It settled ptsar►., and prevent a recurrence
of such reverses as have been lately experienced.
Of this force Major General Turner takes the.
command ; Colonel Sutherland, second in coin
inand ; and Major Chisi►u,ini will retain the in►-
portant post of Cape Coast Castle.
