carry the mantle on their right arias, and not to

We have the satisfaction to state, that silver, in
dollars and bullion, to the amount of 3 millions and
a half stezoing, arrived by the last fleet from China.
A single banking-house, at the west end of the
town, had 73,000 dollars consigned to it. In con-
sequence of this valuable importation, the price of
silver has fallen considerably.

Mankind are prejudicectin favour of Modest sin-
cerity ; at least so the Contracipors for the pre-
sent Lottery seem to think, for they abstain from
puffing it, although it consists but of 8,000
Tickets, with various Capitals of 20,0001. 10,0001.
5,0001. 3,0001. 2,0001. 1,0001. &c. &c. &c. or
perhaps their silence may he accounted for on
their certainty of selling- all the Tickets, therb
being so few, and the drawing on Thursday next.

REPORT.

'OUII.7I' OF COMMON.PLEAS, MAY 27.

NORTH V. HULL.

r.l7(is was an action brought to recover eom-
,
Pl,,t!on. for darriaire,' r-presPntPd to have been
:.,7tainc:i in a cargo' of Amerir.eq flour,. by the
and misconduct of the defendant. The
J.QB,; 1. as estimated at 1721. ' -
It appeared, that about tile beginning of last
year, 'Mr. liuby, Who commanded a vessel called
the Charlotte, was employed to convey 120 sacks
of flour, the property, of the plaintiff, from Bos-
ton to England. The flour was shipped under
the ..stipdintendance of a person intrusted ,by Mr.
North, in excellent condition, and stowed in the
customary manner. cThe vessel, was
.considered
to be a good and sound one, and in nowise apt
to accept of water at the seams/. After, the or-
dinary, ',length of time the vessel arrived., off
the English coast, and anchored in a favour-
able. situation. The plaintiff dispatched a lighter 7
man to unship his flour upon the 14th day of March,
1811, who, upon application, 'v as informed-by a
person on hoard the vessel, that it was impossible
to CQIIIC at the sacks of flour, until that quantity
corn stowed above them was removed, and• which
would not be done until it was sold ; other appli-
cations were made with the like success. Upon
the 27th of the same month, Mr. Ruby informed
the proprietor of the removal of the corn, and de-
sired him to dispatch a lighter to carry home the
flour. This was done next day. The sacks' Were
landed at the Urand Junction Canal, Wharf, and
many of them were discovered to be as
,Eard as
marble, and the whole to have been what the deal-
ers denominate heated. One of the witnesses he-
sitated to ,declare, whether that he had perceived
narks upon the lowa' tier of sacks, indicative of
the admission of sea water. The whole cargo re-
quired to be sifted and purified, which occasioned
a loss of 29 sacks, of flour, and a depreciation of the
total value ; some of the loss was compensated by
a sale of the garbage, which proceeded from the
operation of bolting. The whole loss was mode,
rately computed at 1271, Such were the leading
facts described and proved ou the part of the plain-,
tiff.

- On the part 'of the defendant, .Mr. Serjeant
BEST maintained, that the injury sustained by the
plaintiii evidently arose, either from the admissiOn
of sea-water, of which the marks still remained
upon the sacks, or from the original blid quality•
of the flour. To be sure some delay had been
made to surrender the flour it the ligterman, but.
the delay was sci short, that unless the carito had
been in a state of corruption before its arrival; it
could not, have advanced to such a head by the
28th of, March. The misfortune., therefore, hn,
would Contend, had arisen from the common pe-
rils of the sea, and for which the defendant, by
law, .was rot accountable; but, could the cfAn-
sel for the plaintiff' undertake to strike the. differ-
ence between the damage described to be sustain-
ed by detention, and ~.hat win-211 Manifestly ap-
peared to have. been occasionel:by the admission
of sea water ; for the injury had a,i114,61. at such
an extent, that it was impossible' the whole could
have happened during the delay of
.a fortnight.—
He had no inclination to Press the subject beyond
modest limit', but for the sake of the Captain,
who was a poor than, whose whole- forinine•
was 'in jeopardy .by the decision ; he wished to
see the whole minutely, investigated.
The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE: relinifked to the
Jury, that it was not an actio. I brought to recover
coMpensation upon losses sustained by perils at
SC9, but for the gross misconduct in the Captain,
who permitted the flow to remain covered with a
cargo of oats during the length almost of a whole
voyage from. Boston, niler his arrival in England,
before he Would consent to its removal. The
Jury would consider the whole, and mark a-dis-
tinction concerning the damage represented to
have been 'sustained by misconduct, and that de-
scribed to liave,in all likelihood, happened by the
perils of the sea.
'The Jury'retired for an hour and a half, and
returned a verdict of 501. damages, to,the

HATT 0 N.-GARDE N .—Yesterday a young man
was brought up, and underwent an examination,
being charged 'by a woman, who keeps a small
chandler's,shop,in Peter-street, Saffron-hill, with
ifaving, accompanied- by two other men, come to

her shop, sho-wing
.her a harp halfpenny, and
telling her, if she had any of the same kind, they
would give her a penny for each, upon which
the woman, having got by her near 21. in half-
pence, placed them out on the counter to look
them over, when the prisoner was'very active in
handing several to his 'accomplices ; the prose-
cutriK noticed their pocketing some of the smile,
and begged of them not to rob her, she being but
a poor woman, an& that was money put by to pay
her baker with. The two.others immediately ran
of', 'and she, withnssistance„ secured the prisoner,
there being near ten shillings' worth Stolen.—
The fact was sworn to, and the prisoner not
'making any reasonable defence, was fully coin-
Mittedto Newgate for trial.
The Committee of tbe Stock Exchan b.-ehave, with-

each of the entrances from Capel-court and

There is nostruth in the report of Mr. W. tong
Wellesley, having closed Wanstead Park gates.
That Gentleman, it is true, thought proper to
shut the gates aganst disorderly persons, but,
tendered to the Gentlemen -residing in Wamtead
parish, and its vicinities, keys of admission to the
Park, which they did not feel inclined. to accept.
A number of workmen are_ at present employed,
in improving the • Green Park, finder the know-
diate direction of the Noble Deputy Ranger. It is
very much' to be-wished that the Ranger of Hyde
Park would Cause the railing to be continued from
the bridge to thz gate of Kensin.crton
The expellee would be very ginail; and the com-
fort fo those persons who walk in that Park for
, -
exercise or pleasure very great. At piccent they
have no'protection.frorn horsemen, who arc. per-
petually crossing the foot-path, and cutting Lip
that beautiful part of the Park between the road
and .the Serpentine River. • . .
