IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS.—Captain John
Phillips, the master of the schooner George the
Fourth, appeared before Mr. BALLANTINE 0 show
,•ause why he refused to pay the sum of 31 13.. 6+l.
n George Swine, one of the licensed Trinity H mge
'Hots, for pi►oting his vessel from Gravesend to
London.

The complainant went on board at Gravesend,
old brought the vessel up to London, and the de-
t'endant wanted to deduce ss. for the waterman who
assisted to bring up the ship from Halfway-reach.
Gytain Phillips generally employed two water-
nen, and his 42wtleltelisti----1 ,q-zr

he pilotage, inasmuch as Swine had not only got
the ship aground in Halfway-reach, hut ran foul of
tier of shipping in the Pool, carried away the fore-,
opmast stays of his schooner, and split the cathead
rf the vessel he ran foul of. Af:er he had got out
f this dilemma he put the vessel about on another
rack, snd ran foul of a cutter, which he seriou'ly
lamaged. A more inexperienced pilot he never
knew. _ .

Mr. BALLANTINE said it appeared to him that he
was bcund to order the pilotage to be paid. Ttie
Captain could come upon the pilot's securities for
the damage done to his vessel.
A Mr. Evans said the watermen knew more
tbout bringing ships up the river than those pilots
,vho had been masters of ships. The Trinity
House did not, however, now appoint watermen to
ne pilots on the river.
Mr. BALLANTINE said that did not speak much
for the wisdom of the Trinity House. He was of
opinion the complainant was not the most astute
dilot or he would not hat e got the ship in a dilemma
three times.
Captain—l think he ought to pay the damage.
It was lubberly piloting. I took every care of the
schooner.

Mr. BALLANTINE said the question was of great
importance, and he looked very closely into the Act
of Parliament. It appeared that the pilot's bowls-
men could be sued for the amount for which they
had become liable in case of damage, and it might
affect the proceedings in a superior Court if he was
to order the pilotage. On looking over the Act
carefully he was very glad to End that he was not
driven to the absolute necessity of ordering the
pilotage, and he would not do it. As far as he was
concerned he dismissed the (•aSP.

CHOLERA.—IL is with much reluctance that
we are obliged to make it at last known, that Csmelon is
deeply infected with cholera. No less than ten deaths
occurred last week, many of them amid the most shameful
scenes of filth ; and it was only upon Monday last that we
saw a subscription paper handing round for aid to cleanse
and fumigate the wretched haves of the bulk of the inha-
bitants—mostly nailers. The immediate proximity to
Falkirk, and the equally neglected state of hundreds of
houses there, makes every one devoutly wish that this fell
disease may be cut short in its present march.—Scotsman.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1833.

The French Papers of Tuesday, which arrived
this morning, contain further news from Spain
favourable to the Spanish Government. The
rebels are stated, in a telegraphic despatch from
Bayonne, to have evacuated Tolosa, and it was
reported at Bayonne, on the 21st inst., by the
master of a chasse maree which had just ar-
rived from Bilboa, that on the preceding day,
whilst off the latter place, he heard a heavy
firing, which ceased towards the evening, in
consequence, as he supposed, of the submission
of the rebels. A telegraphic despatch was re-
ceived in Paris on Tuesday morning, but
the contents, although said to be very favour-
able, had not transpired. It was reported that
the despatch announced the taking of Bilboa
from the rebels; but if this had been the case,
we think the French Government would have
published it, at least after a certain personage
had made his stock-jobbing operations. It
appears that several Carlist chiefs have taken
refuge, since their defeat by EL PASTOR, is
the French territory. There are no very recent
accounts from Madrid, but a Paris paper, Le
Temps, which is usually well informed, states that
at the date of the last accounts the unpopularity of
M. ZEA and M. CRUZ had increased daily in the
Spanish provinces, and that, at Madrid, when
the troops were reviewed by the QUEEN RE-
GENT, cries of " Down with ZEA, and CRUZ,"
were frequently tepeated. If this statement be
