This was; on a Policy of Insurance for 2001. made
to the. Plaintiff, as Agent to a Mr. ,Oxman, on the
ship ‘Vrow Anna, from Penzance to Genoa, on
which ship Mr. Oxman had a Bottomry Bond for
zOol.

• The Danish ship Vrow Anna having been strand-
e I near Penzance, was purchased by Mr. Oxman,
for the purpose of 'breaking her up. Afterwards,
Mr. Oxman having a better opinion of the vessel,
and a confidence in her Captain, advaKed the mo.
ney for, repairing her, gave the vessel to the Cap_
tain, and took, as a security for the money expend,.
ed, a Bottotnry-Bond. This vessel so repaired,

..proceeded on her voye to Genoa, -with a cargo of
P 9
ilch•ris the property of British Subjeas,-and. was
taken by a French Privateer, carried into Malaga,
and there condemned by an order of the French
Consul who resided there:

The description of this vessel in the Policy was,
the Danish ship Vrow Anna, which description the.
Defendants' Counsel contended amounted to a gua-
rantee that she vv.is a neutral vessel, and not British
property, masked by a Danish bottom, the value of
which was entirely covered by this .Bottomry
Bond. .

For the Plaintiff it` was argued, that the words.
Danish vessel being in the Policy, did riot amount to
a guarantee that she was neutral ; and it was
ed, that on thesame day other Policies had been
done on the cargo of the vessel at the same rate. .of
insurance (Is guineas per cent:)•without -describing
her as a Danish vessel. It was also insisted upon,
.that she -‘i,-.asorta fide a Danish vessel, nofhwith-
standing the amount of thin Bottcmry Bond:
In the -contse of this Trial, a Question of Law
arose, Whether the Sentence of a French Consul,
residence in. Spain, had the: same legal validity as
the Sentence of a regular Court of Admiralty,. and
whether it could be read as conclusive evidence of
the condemnation of the vessel, and the causes of it ?

• This being altogether s Question of- Law, was
-reserved for the future consideration of the Court.
The Learned Judge told the Jury, that the words
Danish vessel being in the Policy, did amount to a
guarantee that she was Danish ; and the principal
question for their consideration was, Whether at
the time of her capture she was to be considered
neutral vessel or a British ship ?--Verdian for the
Plaintiff.

This was an Auion of Troyer; to recover the
value of too casks of tallow. The Plaintiffs are
Merchants in Russia, and at the time of sending
this tallow to the Binkrupt's order, being informed
that his circumstances were doubtful, gave notice
both to the Bankrupt and their Agent in London,
that unless a former
_debt was paid, the bills of
lading should be delivered up to .Mr. Slider, the
Plaintiff's Agent in London.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL observed, that. the
Commercial Law of Russia, and of all the North of
Europe, was in this resped more equitable than our
own. By the Law of Russia, a Consigner, when
_ _

informed of the failing' circumstances of his Con-
, sigpee, may not 'only stop the goods consigned in
transttu, but, on giving a proper notice to• the
Judge of the place, may get an order for taking
them out.of the ship, or even the warehouse, of his
Consignee. He offered, in evidence of the Law Of
Ru sia, a formal attestation of certain Russian
Judges on this head.—Thefe being some doubts of
. the admissibility of this. evidence, it was reserved
as a question of -Law; for the future consideration
of the Court.

DERBY, MARCH 10.

On Thursday last,ithe body of a young woman,
who about five weeks since was drowned in the
river Dement, near the Holmes, in this Borough,
was discovered floating in the river in the liberty of
Alvaston. The Coroner's Inquest on Saturday sat
upon view of the body, and returned a verdiel.—
Accidental Death.

Some days since the body of a new born
,male
child was discovered floating in a pool of water in
the parish of Hartshorne, in this county. The
Coroner's Inquest sat. the next day upon view of
the body, but no evidence could-be brought for.
ward to throw any material'light upon this dark
t ransadion.

On Wednesday last, an
.inquisition was taken in
the Parish df Great Baddow, in Essex, before the
Corwier, on an occasioo, the particulars. of which
are interesting"and extraordinary. Jn the evening
of Thursday, the 4th instant,
.as the wife of a la-
bourer (who had on the
.Saturday preceding tcken
_possession of a cottage on Galleywood Common, in
the.said Parish, which had :been quitted at Christ-
mas last, by a :family who had occupied it nearly
for the space of-forty years) went to fetch some-
.thing but of one of the chambers, she accidentally
discovered, in the corner of a, closet, adjoining a
chimney which had lately undergone gaine repair,
three tiles placed in, a particular. manner; on re-
moving which, the withered remains of a small
.folin, apparently human, dropped on the floor, to-
gether with the shattered- remnant of an old hat,
in which the body had .eyidently been deposited.
'Alarmed at the incident, and not diteElly knowing
. what she Watifound, she carried it down stairs.to
her husband, who, conceiving it to -be only the
skeleton of a monkey, desired' his son, then present,
to throw it out into the road, where it lay until some
of the neighbours, more intelligent or- more curious,
picked it up, and ;communicated the. matter to a
neighbouring Magistrate, -at whose desire the in-
quest was taken, as above stated, and though the
most critical investigation took 'place; which the
• nature of the circuoiStonces would allow, nothing
transpired to criminate, in the least degree, any of
the. partieslabove mentioned. The shrivelled and
disfigured remains, which formed the subjea-of the
said inquest, were Minutely inspecled by, two' Sur_
geons, who attended on the occasion, ~and Who,
pronounced stem to haVe been the body of a male
child, but could not presume to say whether it was'
born alive, or at what period of time it was placed
in the situation in which it- was found; but agreed
that it must have lain ,there several year.s, and
might have continued as mai:y more, without un-
dergoing- any material change, -it being in a per-
, feelly dry and withered state,: Such being. the. cir-
cumstances of the case, the verdil of the Jury was,
" That the said child was still-born, of the body
of some person utiknoft."
A:serious affray took 'place at' Greenock a feiv
evenings ago : A party of Americao sailors and
some women, were watched by a:crowd of bOys to
a house of ill fame ; they had no sooner entered it
than the.boys assailed the doors and windows with
a shower. of stones, at which the landlord and sail.
ors sallied out, and :attacking in their tUrn,,dis-
persed them, and knocked down several person's ac-
cidentally passing. The Magistrates, with' a party
of the
.military, went to the place, Ind took the
landlord and three of the sailors into custody. The
former was sentenced to be drummed through
.the
streets. of Greenock, and be banished that town
for life ; two .of the sailors were fined zos.
each, and sent on board their ship, giving bail not
toteturn on shore while the ship remained in that
porn.,

At Lincoln Assizes, George Gllly was convieted
of having burglariously brokercinto the house of
Mrs. A. Robinson; at Boston,- and J. Brown,: eon-
vided of horse-stealing,, were sentenced. to be
hanged ; the latter was reprieved before the. Judges
left the town, and ordered to be transported tor
Evison, tried for the murder of her infint
child, was acquitted.

At Worcester Assizes, James Matheri, convicted
of bz.:rglary ; Joseph Hingley and Willidm Attwood,
Of sheep-stealing ; and Peter Milnes (capitally con-
viaed at the Summer Assizes of i 800, but judg-
ment respited); severally received sentence of
death.

Some nights since three men, armed and dis-
guised, knOcked at the door of 'Mr. S. SIMPSON, of
Shotly in SuffOlk, and by imitating the voice of
Mr. S. induced, a female servant; who with a boy
was sitting up for
,him, to open it, when one of
them presenting .a blunderbuss to her breast im-
posed silence on her, while another carried off-a box
in which Mr. S. kept articles of value, .and which
then contained cash and notes to the amount of

From Newcastle-on-Tyne, we are informed of a
most extraordinary care, performed on Mrs. HI N-D
of Willington Mill, after her case had compleatly
baffled the most eminent medical gentlemen in that
neighbourhood. A violent scorbutic.disorder of
many years standing in her head, had not only dis-
abled her from attending -to any business, but nearly
deprived her of sight : in August last she received

an easy and complete cure by mean 'of
rtEß's Alterative Pills, which will be aLliested bY
her, and by Mrs., BLEADES, Fancy Dress Makeri
