COURT OP ♦ICE-ADMIRALTY, JULY 25.

SHIP LADY CAMPBELL, BETHAM MASTER.
In this cause Mr. PONTARDENT, for the sole owner, applied
to the Court for a decree that the certificate of registry of the
ship might be delivered up by the present master. He stated,
that the owner of a ship had power at any time to discharge the
master, (even though a part-owner), without stating any other
reason than disinclination to continue him in command; and
referred to the case of the New Draper, 4, Robinson, p. 237,
and several other cases, in support of his application.
Mr. HERBERT PUGH, for the Master, stated, that however
strict the law might be as to securing to an owner the right of
depriving the master of his command, the owner bad power to
cede such right, which he had done in the present case, by en-
tering into a written contract with the master, whereby it is
expressly stipulated, that the master should have the sole com-
mand and destination of the ship for the first voyage, without
any let or hindrance from the owner ; that a valuable consi-
deration having been given for this agreement, and the onus
therein contained, on the master's part, having been performed,
he was entitled to a specific performance by the owner. Some
comments were then made as to affidavit, wherein the owner
attempted to charge the master with negligence and incapacity.
His Honour the JUDGE declared, that the cases relied on
by Mr. PONTARDENT did not extend to the deprivation of the
master at an intermediate port, when the voyage had been
partly performed, and great responsibility had been incurred.
That in such a case he should require some special reason to
be proved for the dismissal of the master. That in this in-
stance complaint was made of the negligence and extravagance
of the master at L'Orient, into which port the ship put to
repair. If the owner had reason to he dissatisfied with the con-
duct of the master, it was his duty to have entered his protest
at that port. No such protest appeared ; and as to the general
charge of incapacity, his Honour would not so far insult the
common sense and humanity of the owner as to suppose he
would trust his own life, and the lives of 50 passengers, to the
care of a person incompetent to command a ship : and decreed

the certificate of registry to be delivered to the master to enable
him to complete his voyage; and costs to the amount of 100
rda. were given him.

CALCUTTA, Awo. 28, 1823.
The accounts from the Mefussil continue to be of a distreeS
ing character. During the 15th, 16th, and 17th instant, there
was a continued furious storm at Bhaugulpore. The Wind,
which was easterly, was so violent as to have destroyed several
trees, and as the river was very high, it was apprehended that
intelligence of accidents might follow. The indigo plantation*
about Bhaugulpore were under water.
A person who lately left Dinapore mentions that the river
was making such serious encroachments on that station, that,
apparently well grounded apprehensions were entertained °I
the cantonments being swept away, unless immediate precau-
tions should he adopted to prevent such a catastrophe. A Con'
mittee of Survey had been appointed to take into consideratio4
the state of the quarters and bungalows near the river's bank-
Last year similar fears were entertained as to those alluded tch
but nothing was done, so far as we hare been able to learn.

( From the Bombay Gazette, Sept. 3, 1823.)
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—A horse Of great
promise belonging to a gentleman in Surat died suddenly a few
days ago. On dissection the following remarkable phenomenal'
was observed :—Spleen upwards of 11 feet in circumference'
and weighingat least 901bs. avoirdupois I For the information
of those ignorant of the natural size of this generally considered
unimportant organ, it may be necessary to observe, that, untied
ordinary circumstances, its circumference seldom exceeds
inches.

MADRAS BIR.TIIS—On the 13th instant, the lady of Vatenant W. C. Brunton, 2d Regiment Light Cavalry, of I B°T'i
—At Cochin, on the 15th ult., Mrs. Alexander Harringtori, °
her fifth son.
