Front the SYDNEY GiIZETTE, Oa. 1, 1804.

The Lady 'Bar a dreadful thunder storm
from the S.-'W. on Tuesday afternoon, we are ex-
tremely concerned tOstate, the above very fine Vessel
was overset, and sunk, at the King's outer moorings,
lying in live tinhorns and a half water. It was con-,
sidered, as the dreadful accident immediatelysucceal-
ed a remarkably vivid flash of lightnincr' that it had
struck and Penetrated through the Vessel's hull: and.
what gave the greatest strength to this conje&ore was,
she accident which about two years ago heel the
Atlas. Assistance was immediately rendered as well
from the shore as from the Vessels in the Port. His
Excellency went orf Mei whale boat, and tendered
to the Captain every possible aid. Captll4l FARREI.r.,
of the Fair American, had already hove abreast of
'the ship, then lying upon her broadside, her weather •
side being nearly level with the surface of the water.
The Investigator, commanded by Lieut. Ilou,sTos,
1w his Excellency's order, was warped alongside of
the Lady liarlvw; tackles were lashed to the masts,
of the Pair American, and passed round those of the
*./Z4 Barlow, to prevent any more unfavourable
change in her position, for ooeffbrt to relieve her
could-then be effeetual, as she could not be released
f`nru her mooring chain. She continued thus dur-
ing the nighti: but by the evening of the following
day, Owing to the activity and prodigious perseverr
alice used, -her masts were raised several feet, and
Supported by the Investigator. Between the hours
of eleven and twelve on Thursday we had the plea-
sure to see her upright, though full of water, sustain-
ed by'the tkvo vessels abovementiened. The loss
occasioned by the unfortunate event cannot be real,
dilrtstlinated.. We are sorry to state;that Captain
MrAsortas is very considerable ; the whole of the,
provisions have perished) r)urch of the oil recently
put on hoard has been Washed nut, and vast titian= ,
titlesilouted in by the tidias. •

We would seriously advise and exhort all fatnilies
who have the smallest pretensiont to refinement, to
lase no time in visiting that supernatural
Vauxhall, particularly during the all-attradive series
of entertainments now exhibiting, which certainly,
excel any fortner attempt to facinate the most nal-
lolls auditor. There were at least 3000 persons as-
sembled on Monday evening, although the weathet •
bore no comparison to its serenity at present.
On Monday night a Geetleman, with a Lady in
his company, hired a coach at eight o'clock, went
to Vauxhall, and returned home at a few minutes
etc' three next morning. The coachman renved to,
takes one pound note for his fare, and demanded h
Pima, which was paid him ; but he was yesterday
brought to Marlborough-street Police Office, u'llere,
after a minute examination of the parties, and th.
fullest allowance being given, it was turd that lie
had made an overcharge of upwards of 'Ss. for which
he was ordered to pay the penalty 91205. besides the

A fornier cause between the same parties, and on
the seine bill, had been tried, when the Plaintiff was
nontsuited. On the Motion of Mr. Eitsime, in
term, the Non-suit was set aside, and a new Trial
was granted, Which mite on now to be heard.
Mr. ERSKINE, for the -Plaintiff, said, that in the
preceding cause, a person of the name of Robert •
Wallace had been 'called, whose testimony alcitie
disappointed the just pretensions of his Client. He
supposed that person was now present; and, there.,
fore, lest he should square his testimony to the pur-
poses of the defence, he should only prove the bill,
and reserve his comments for a future stage, if they
should be necessary.
R. Blythe proved the hand-writing of the Defend-
ant, who was the acceptor.
• Mr. PARKE, for the Defendant, said, that his
Client'had no more to do with the responsibility in
this transadion than any individual on the Jury.—
His first objea would be to spew, that the Defendant
was an acceptor Without consideration ; and, next,
that the Plaintiff Was so far implicated in the affair,
either as partner with Wallace, or as cogniatit of
what Wallace did, that he could establish no claim
on the Defendant. Wallace would prove, that, for
the bill in question, the Defendant had no such con-
sideration : and further, that the Plaintiff was made
atquainted With the condition on which the accept-
ance was obtained ; vii. that Wallace, the drawer,
should provide for it at the time of its maturity.
Robert. Wallace deposed, that he was a partner
with the Plaintiff in some of his concerns; that he
pro Cured this acceptance under a promise to the
Defendant of supplying him with funds for the dis-charge of the bill. added, that he met the Plain-'
tilt at Carlisle, in December, 1804, and acquainted
him with the terms oil whichthe name of the drawer
was obtained for tht, bill.
Lord ELl:Emnoilotion said, the Plaintiff received
this bill from Wallace; as part payment on the ge-
neral transations between the Plaintiff and Wallace,
as his Agent. In point of law he was entitled to
the money, although it was to be regretted that the
Defendant bad rendered himself liable by his hid's=
erect - fidence.--Tiirdielfbr the prin cip

AlibL L. AARON RRAIi.
this alion was brought fir the sum of the
value stated ibr a coach -horse iwid to the
fntiant.

Mr.•Eftstatit, for ''
the turther, said, that this horse
was sold •under a warranty ; and that fourteen or
'fifteen dasPs after the sale, the &tee mils returned
with the following letter
-t, Srn,-The bay coach p):6lding I bought of you
last wo+ proves to be glandered, •therefore I have
returned Wan ; and as I am told you knew of the
diitemper, I am surprised you sold me a horse in
such a state. • .

(Signed) AARON
The Learned Counsel said, the best answer to such
an allegation was, that the horse was at the. door
of Guildhall, in perfea health, for the glanders vas
an :incurable- complaint, and • was .attended with
almost itnme(!iate death. • It was true, that the
horse had a sort of cold, which *as sometimes call-
ed the strangles, but at the tithe bf the warranty,
the. Defendant was distinelly made actinainted with
the disorder. After several witnesses had.been Callet4

Mr. Richara Marsden gave evidence, that the
horse had been subjeaed to a considerable discharge
. of mucds, from the strangles, but that he never knew'
a g%andered horse recover. On his cross-examina-
tion, he said, that the horse, at the time of the sale,
had a bad cold, and that be could not then be said to
be hi a sound state, but he had no one of the agri:e.
ale varititges of the farcies.
Mr. Colman said, that the strangles eta, the in-
flammation of a gland in the centre of .the throat,
which comnonly terminates in suppuration; and
with ,son-te discharge from the nostrils. Tire" Blau-
ders h was an in feetious- disease, but heat always
brought;-on 'by contagion: -It was more frequently
occasioned by.a foil atmc4pliere in the stable, than
by cOntagioa. There were two species of the &It,.
ders; •the one was an acute disease, which afle6ted
the Constitution of the animal geneially; and was
not -absolutely incurable ;. he had known some few
instances of recovery.- The ebranie glanders did
not direaly alfeet the nostrils, although they were
the channel of the diseharge, yet the seat of car-
ruptiqn was in the cavities of the head. This spe-
cits of the. disorder was -both contagions and in-
curable. He had accidentally seen the horse at the
',time of sale I he then had an ulcer upon the coro-
ner, and some of the absorbents were considerably
enlarged added to that; the glands were schirrous.
) Aft-=r a single remark -from the Learned Judge,
the Plaintiff was non-suited.

moyALL SALE;! APLALO.

The Plaintiff aud fiefenclant were at ,Gibraltar
during the time of the melancholy diseass which
prevailed in that fortress.
Mr. ERSKINE, for the former, said, that his Client
was engaged in the
useful operation of cleansing the
thvellings o 1 the town, thr which he received a dollar
per day; that he was indticed by the Defendant to
tome • over to England, and that he 444 on board
a ship is the capacity of servant to Cr. Maio. The
Learned *Counsel said, he should not be able to prove
a particular agreement for the precise wages or com-
pensation the Plaintiff was to receive ; but if he
sheaved in evidence that his Client stied in the capa-
city .of a servant, the Jury Would assign to him the
proper remuneration.

Some witnesses were then called, who deposed,
that the Plaintiff had cooked the victuals of the De-
timdant, that they were both of the Jewish persua-
sion and that their diet was prepared in a peculiar
manner.

Abraham Da Costa gare testimony, to a promise by
the Defendant, that he would give the Plaintiff' two
or three guineas at a Intim time. On the latter
inquiring ut the former, how he sho4ld iubsist

Mr. ERMINE ctineurred in . the. sentiment his

Mr. GARItoW added, he should make it evident;

which wt inadequate compensfition, at a time
ivlien every person was anxious to avoid t 1 fatal

The Plaintiii; are As. sig,nees of George Wardall.
The Defendant had attached certain property be=
longing to George Wahlal}; in the hands of Mr. De-
Beaune, an insurance-broker, and had in eonse-
luenco received it, De Reaunte having suffered
judgnient in the Mayor's Court to go bye default.
The Plaitititri broug,ht this ACiioti to recover the
value.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL said, that Geo,Wardall,
whorn the Plaintiffs represmted, was engaged in to-
reign cohcerns, and was ()WIWI of the ship called
the May. This person proceeded with her cargo
to the Island of Madeira; but previous' to his de.
parture he was in great pecuniary embarrasments,
and committed an aet of baidtruptcv it. Decent-
ber, 1802, in consequence of 'Mitch a Com-
mission issued. During the absence of Wardall,
De Beaume effe6ted insurances, by the order of the
Wife. of the bankrupt, the premiums of which
amounted to three or four hundred pounds. Losses
occurred, but De Beaume had untOrtunately given
the polities in confidence to Mrs. Wardall she had
delivered them over to Lewis and Nck, and Dc
Beaume could not regain the policies until Ite had
paid to the latter the stun of e3Ol. which they
ed of the Bankrupt. The object of acf:oiring-these
policies was to mover the loos, the t•hip and cargo
having been insured to the eattent of 37401. out of
which Mr. De ilatutie inirant pay hitiiself his pre-
miums, whieh he had no other chance of obtaining.
The Defendant learnt that the Broker was In thd
itteipt of thi,; large sum, and • therefore proceeded
against be Br; ume in the way of ottachm.nat in the
:Mayor's Court, and' the latter was obliL,:ed tO oi
him the Sum he def:s.lnded of 3t.i71. les. sd. The
Learned Counsel cOntended, that this amttufit wav
vested in the -Assignees, in coniequence of the bank-
ruptcy ; that on this count it must be, in law,
considered as Money lent and advanced tb the De-
fendant for the nse of As grew, and on this
principle the present Action was kinded. The
Witnesses having giv:::1 their testity, and the

A verdiat was also taken in this cause for t.Toi. to
be centrouled by the judgment of their Lordships
on a case in which the facts were precisely the same,
excepting that no attachment had issued, and that
this sum was obtained by the Defendants in the
manner stated in the preceding cause.

At Ayr Fair on Monday there was a middling
supply of woollen cloth, which sold readily, and
brought an advanced price,
On:Tuesday and Wednesday there was a consi-

There was but an ordinary show olliorses, a great

There never was a greater importation of Grain.

by the reliance which they placed on the accuracy
and ability of Mr. Tucker, and by the consideration
of the time whi, if had been spent by him, and the
diligence Which. he was kno..vii to have exerted in
the preparation of this Report, it has also ;been al-
!edged by.some of the.CommisSionc.:s of .the Navy,
in their evidence, that it Would be iMpossible for the
extensive basiness of the Navy Board to be trans»
aaed in that office, if the Iluatd Were to Cllter into
re-exarniivnion Of the faits contained in such
ports as May be made upon investigation by their
several Committees ; and it is also observed, that
'such a re-exarnination,, in the present case, would,
necessarily have taken up much, time,: and muk
have ID tilt, it impo3sible fbr the Board to comply with,
the direaions received front the Admiralty, " to .re=
port with as little delay as pOssible." It appears
that the Navy Board received from the .Admiralty
in the month of Febrnary, previous 'to the, .20th of
that month (on whiCh clay they reported), two Or-
ders to hasten the Report, in, the latter of which,
dated on the 18th, they were direaed, " it the Re-
port could not be sent immediately, to let the.. se,
cretary of the Admiralty know the reason thereof,

Your Committee having inquired into the circum-

: statione cf...ll,„lestef:Sernate, which, according to the
evidence before,. your Committee; one pf the •most,
experiencerlidthiptuels is usually seleEtdd to fill,
and which entitles the Officer who holds it to walk-
the.quarter-deck, to rank and mess with the Mid-
shipmen, and
,to be considered .and treated in the
Navy as a Oentleman. ' -
Durince the period' that elapsed,from his-appoint-
ment in °August 1800, until the return of the Rom-
ney to England from the Red Sea in the month of
April 1803, with the exception of Lone. week only
in which he was Acing Master, Mr. Bartholomew
served on board that- Vessel as Master'e-mate, and
appears by the'evidenee before your Committeeiand
particularly ',by the testimony of Captains Cardin,
Collier, and Winthrop, to have acquitted himself as
an Officer, of high charaaer and nierit, and to. have
acquired such a knowledge of .hiS profession, as not
only enabled him in India, and afterwards in Eng-
land, to
,pass the examination which every Officer
must peisa before lie can' obtain the ecannsisstoir of a
Lieutenant, but also to havb induced' Captains' Car-
(rut and Collier ;todesirethat he might- be lent to act
as, Lieutenant in the Red Seis onboard the respective
Ships then.under their command..
Soon after thereturst of the Romney tOEngland,
Sir Home Popham addressed letters to theeAllini;-;
ratty for the 'purpose :of obtaining. permiSOon for
Several Midshipmen underhis command, and alS'o
for Mr. Bartholomew, to repair to London, in order
that they Might attend 'at the Navy-Otlice to'answer
the above-mentioned examinationT and the Ad-
rniralty having Comprted with the applications made
by those letters, Mr. Bartholerriew appears to have
attended at the Navy-Office accordingly, and tohave
obtained a. Certificate of his having passed that: era •
minatien, bearing dateehe fst of Jane 180.3. •
During'the absence of Mr. Bartholomew. from the
Romney on this last,mentioned occasion; Sir IL
Popham, whe had previorely received orders direae

• Under these circUmstiinus, Ir. Bartholoro ap-
pears to have considered himself, and to have been
ccinsidered by Sir Home Popham. and iilso by the
(lii,icer by whom he was paid off at (.Itatliam, as'
discharged from the Romney, 'and as net belonging
to any other Ship ; and your Committee • hind that
be consequently continued .on shore), and was prin-
cipally resident with hiS wife and tamilyat-Chatham,
from the time of his having Passed the exitnination
which qualified 'him to obtain a Lientenantcy, until
the time of hid. being seized by a press-gang; during
the whole of which period he was anxiously engaged.
in soliciting his friends, as -well as the-Earl St. V in-
cent, with the hope •of obtaining • a lientenant's
commission, and of being, employed in .aaiye
0
Cr-
vice. •
. In the course of that period, which e.;:.ceeded the:
space of six months, 'Mr: BartholomeN • addressed
'nine letterS Lirl.St. Vincent, w-hich appear in.the
Appendix to this llepiirt, and to which„as well::.u;to
the answers Which. he received, yolir Cornmit tee are
desirons of calling the attention of the 'Hou,3e.. In
the first of these letters, dated the 16,th Juno, t i•;03;.
he states his services from thesear .1794, and solicits
promotion in very respeafal terms; and in reply
he: is informed, by a letter froM i Parker, the
Private Secretary to I St. Vincent, thiit his, Verd-
ship recommends his offering his services to'one 'of
the Captains fitting for sea.
, In his second letter., bearing date the 9.7 th. 'JAY,
1803, Mr., Bartholomew Meioses two letters frolic
two of the.. Captains nnde(whorii he had serra
adding, 6', that: he Could,proc* teStimoniki from'
Admiral M'Dowal and Sir Home Popham, but that
it Would be trespassing on 'Lord. St.'Vincenes time;"
and he renews his application for premotion in re-
speaftil terms. In.reply, to this letter, he is told
by ont, from Mr. Parker, , " that. there can -be no
'prointtion-while there arelNioLleutebants seeping

In his 3d letter, dated s4lt. 9, 1803, -Nl,c, .Par-
