Sr.
JACO DE LA VEGA, OCT. Cortes
pondent, who dates near Black River, has trans.
mitted the following account of a m ,st awful aac
alarming phenomenon, which Made' its appearance
in Middle Quarters, in 'the parish of St. Eliz theth,
on Monday the e.i.th day' of September. ult. about
four o'clock in' the afternoon. It began with very
heavy black clouds, as if there was a deluge of rain
ready to fall. It. was presently afterwards accom:
pilled with a dreadful roaring noise, as if a violent
squall of rain with wind was coming on, but much •
more loud and horrible. There was soon the ap-
pearance of a large globe rising from the earth and
ascending into the atmosphere, occasioning
..very
violent commotions and convulsions in the earth,
The fall of trees was distindlyAreard, and larg,:
limbs thereof, together with innumerable birds,
were seen carried to an immense height in the air,
the clouds at the same time convulsed in the most
awful and terrific manner. There was then seen
what resembled a water-spout, but no water fell
from it. This continued its course from the north_.
east to the southward, carrying all before it, tear-
ing up log.wood, cotton trees, tee. by the roots,
and whirling up in the air the limbs of numbers of
the largest trees, having at the same time the ap.
pearance of fire attended with a thick black smoke,
which ascended from it in its course, and a report
like guns going off. This continued nearly an hour,
and its course was upwards of a mile. The ap-
pearance was so awful; and of so extraordinary n
nature, that'the whale nAghbaurhond,, and all. that
Saw it, we're alarmed beyond measure, not knowing
Whereit would end, Fortunately it kept its course
where.no dWellings or buildings were, otherwise
they meth inevitably have been destroyed, as the
strongest buildings could not have withstood the
violent force of this awful convulsion of nature.

KINGSTON. OCT. B.—Yesterday moaning
Majesty's Brigs Racoon and Foilliou, sailed from
Port-Royal, in quest of the French Privateers men.
tioned to be cruizing off Portland P,Ant.
On the 3oth August, at fifteen minutes pa'st
eleven o'clock, P. M. a-single, but violent shock of
an earthquake was felt at St. Ann's- Its di.
redion appeared to be from NOrrlt to South ; its
duration about four .seconds moon waning.; titer_
to meter Rs ; no wind, but was preceded by a. so.
lcmn stillness of the atmosphere. The brute crew.
tidn, immediately previous and subsequent to the
concussion, were extremely agitated, as was mani.
feared by their.criel Of alarm. For several hours
before the shock the air was close and almost irre.
spirable; a heavy fall of rain took place the fol.
lowing day. The usual rumbling noise and ;undo.
latory rpotion.of the earth, which generally attend
these phenomena, were opt perceived.

Ori Tuesday lair, at eleven o'clocki each Sports-
man on, the Wo and around, Wim thought his
horse 'superior in blood and 'speed, made his ap:..
peara,:ce at Foxholes it was sotm known /that
the Royal Hart Thorspville, was at Coloriel THORN.

drew. At ten minutes: before twel.ye Sir. MARK.
Sykes, the Driflield Hunt and Horaemen,
number about an hundred. (a very Manageable field),
bring. all .ready,. Colonel TunareToN oriered the
'dour of the pen to be thrown'ttpen, and the Hart made
his appearance, but took- quite a.contrary diredion
froth what was wishrd : he seemed fat, sleek, and
modest; he soon, hoWever, bounded over a'nretty
high fence, and took Boythlorp 'Great Sheep Walk,
and "seeing-the hounds- at a diatatice ( who •luckily did
not see him) he went away gallantly up to Falconers'
Hall, -Great Whin-bed, and as ,he,. now was seen
about two or three miles, forward, the steady hound
Con& was laid on the scent to drive' him, so that
be might not loiter ;- the- pack in twenty Minutes
Were then brought to the. line, and a finer or more
sharp burst was never seen than what took' place
throughiSir MARK SyttEs's high Wood, Butterwick
•Wold, and across that extensive fine turf Shetburn
Wok'. coos:// had got tin to him, hut he soon disen-
gaged himaell by knocking Mal over, and bounding
the fence. • Herr the pack were st.pped, and the horses
allo \sett Ica minutes to breathe; they then were per.
'Milted to go on, and another sharp burst took place in
$wmAR STKEVIi plantations. A greyhound and
.mongrel mait4:coming out of the Cover, made it
clear they had run the Hart; and possibly killed
him, for the Haunds.dia not acknon ledge any scent
further. .After much search in the , Upper and .
Lower Covers, the hound Modish, one. of Old
Conqueror's blood, at 'last gave tongue, and im-•
mediately from a thicket out bounded the Hart ;
Modish attempted ,to seize him, but was knock.
ed down by the . Deer ; she attacked him again,
when he 110Unded ,user the fence. The burst was
most tremendous, He tork the wide Wold over
liesler ton ; descended the brow, the whole Pack at
his haunches, and in the 9(1 of. snapping at hint ;
dashed through EiSt and West ilesierton townships
across Knapton Warren, seemingly to take soil at
Seampston; bent eastward across the Scarborough
read for the river at Yedingham, where he got
into a pool,- and there tlefended himself bravely
against the,ands till secured.— ehus ended a long.;
'expetied chase, which' for speed and run over the
finest turf, has no parallel. The . hounds all the
way were in a,corripad body, and might have been
covered with a. sheer. It iai ahoUght that the extre.
snity oldie _ram could not be less than fifteen miles,
and the whole run about twenty:five miles". The
hart returned on
.Thursday to his pen, appal curly
no worse for the spot/ which he had afforded.

THK KING v. JAMES BLOXANt.

This was a critninal information on a charge of
sending a letter with the intent to provoke the Pro.
seentot to fight a duel.
Mr. EIt,KINE lamented the growing prevalence
of the praa ce of duelling, and commended the
exertions which wete made to repre.ss it by the
sitAng.orm of the law. The mode of challenging,
which he shonld now explain, was the..most re.
prelerbitile. If -a person, by the laws of honour
•(a code which rnust not be Acknowledged here),
had received an insult which nature could not en.
dure, perhips makes,a,civil- application for the
interchange of the address. Under. such a
eumstance •there itWa chance that the angry pas.
tions may subside, and a reconciliation may be
'effetled ; but. if a man attach. to his defiance. tin
insult, the litain of which must last during life;
if he blended with it' the coarse language of invec.'
the, the aggression assumed a very different cha.
rafter. The Prosecutor, Mr. J. Ingram (said
Mr. NtsKINE), is- the son of one of the Church-
wardens of Aylesbury, and one of the Yeonuniry
Cavalry of the County. lie went.with his father to
make some payments at the Vestry. This Defendant
thought proper to interpose. in the. public business,
And to. enter into a contention with the father of this
Gentleman. Mr. logrAtp,„jun, on this occasion,
desired • him 'to -withdraw*, and said, it would be
necessary. to have., him removed if he did not
comply, as the business of the Nrestry must not he
interrupted ; addirg, at the same time, " I shall
'talk, to you atterwatds, but at present I have no
cvncern with4yo4„ii
Itt coosequenee of this altercation, die following

instant, the Petition respeaing the right of voting
in the Borough of Liskeard, with a view to fix it
for a future day, --though' still to precede the consi.
deration of the other Petitions. He did this with
a view to obviate the inconvenience which would
otherwise result from keeping the Mayor of
Liskeard and other. Witnesses% so long in town,
as the. interval between the consideration-of. the
several Petitions.
Mr. SHER ID AN thought the question of right:,
ought to he brought.to a decision as speedily as .pos.
sible. He had no objelion, however, to accom-
modate the other,side,, if the 'consideration tf the
other two Petitions was also deferred.
After some observations from Mr. GREGOR',
Sir .WILLIAM Ert LFQRD and Mr. SHERIDa,
explanation, the consideration of the Petition of
Right was fixed. far the .24. th instant.

SHERTDAN was also, on the Motion of Mr.' SHE.
RIDAN, deferred till the 3d of May.

PRIZE AGENCY BILL.

Mr. jER vls moved, that the Order of the Day
be now read for the second reading of the Prize
Agency Bill. The Order being read,
Mr. IBRI/IS, rose, and expressed his regret,
that from the proceedir,gs upon this BM having been
postponed so frequently from day to day, and from:
the many imporiant objetls for consideration whHi
it involved, and the very advanced period of the
Session, rendered it almost itnpradicable now to
carry it into adoption. He had, however, the strong
assurance that it was in the contemplation of His
Majesty's present Ministers to bring f;• ward, early
in the next Session, another Bill, havi..g similar 1

Propositions brought forward to-night by the
Right Honourable Gentleman, though he was
IconiYincedyif any man had ability to render them
effectual, he had ; yet, when he considered the
wretched state of the Country, he was not sanguine
enough to hope for his success, though he sincerely
wined it.

Mr. DAWSON objeaed to the proposed Duty
on Stamps. He was disposed to throw no difficulty
in the way in regard ‘to the-imposition on Wine,
'but he considered it necessary to increase that which
was applied to Spirits, from a fit regard to the morals
of the people.
Sir J. NEWPORT,. Mr. STUART, and Mr. r•ON.
SONBY, said a few words.
Mr. LEE observed, that when the Debt of Ire-
land. should be in the ratio of two to seventeen,
cOmpared with that of. England, there might he
something like regularity . and consistency in the
system of comparative Taxation between the two
Countries.
The several Resolutions being agreed to, the Re-
port was otdereLf to he received to-morrow, and the
Bill to he committed on Friday.
The: Scotch Additional Force Bill was next pro.
seeded in by a Committee of the whole House.
The SECRETARY AT WAR explained, that the ob.
jeCt of the 13ii1 was to increase the Regular Forces by
diminishing the Militia, and made some siridures on
the several Clauses, which being read andagteed to,
the Chair was resumed, and the House agreed to' re-
ceive the Report to-morrow.

Mr. STURGES BOURNE brought up the Bill to

Mr. WILBERFORCE moved, that the House-to.
morrow should proceed further in hearing CCunsel
on the Slave Trade,

General GAscoYNE said, he should objeet, unless
there was full attendance.'

Mr. WM. SMITH remarked, there was no end
of the ,objeaions of certain Genlemen to this mea-
sure ; first they proposed the admission of Counsel,
and when admitted, they defer hearing them.
Mr.-FULLIR hoped it was the intention of the
House wholly to drop the matter this year ; there
were 1000 Prisopers in Jamaica, and the agitation
these discussions occasioned, was extremely dan-
gerous.
The ATTORNEY GENERA;. sate, that the peril
arose from indecision ; when the At should have
passed the agitation, would subside.
The SPEAKER having put the question, it was re.
solved to hear Counsel to-morrow.

THE KING V. GENERAL PICTON.

In our Report of the 3d of-lait month, we noticed
this case, and the circumstances under which the
indiCiment was found. We also ntplained the ap.
plicatiOn to 1116 Court, by Mr. DALLAS, for a Rule
to obtain the Examination of Witnesses, as direacd
by the 4zd Geo. 111. c. 45..
Mr. HARRI,ON, on the part of the prosecution,
signified he had no •obj.zftion that the Rule for the
Mandamus should be made absolute, but it perhaps
might be necessary to haVe a joint commission, and
In that case it would he without costs. Mr. DAL-
LAS assenting to this proposition, the Rule was
granied, and ordered to be so prepared.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
HARWOOD V. ASTL EY.

This was a Writ of Error from the King's Bend%
The verditt was for 20001, in an action for slander;
the Plaintiff having said of the Defendant, who was
a Candidate .to represent the County of Norfolk in
Pirliament, that he was ari assassin and had muf-
dered•his own fathir.

Mr. PLOWDEN moved a 'reversal of the judgment
on a point of law, which he'adrnitted had never yet
been distinaLy before any Court for judicial deci-
sion. The declaration alledged that the words was
spoken of the Defendant as " a Candidate" for.Par-
li.ament. He insisted that whebever-a person became
a Candidate, he not only divested himself of the
shield of the Law, as proteding his charaeter,
hut, it became the duty of every eleCtor to publish
all his faults and vices, in order to kriow whether.
he was the man required by the King's writ, naMe-
ly, the most "fit and discreet" man to represent the
County ;, that whatever was said of him, could not
be matter Of recompense.to him, as a candidate ; and
that:therefore this. judgment, which gave damages
for that injury, must be reversed.
Mr. ER,KINE was about to reply, but. was stop-
ped by the Court, •
The CHlErlus-rtce of Common Pleas ob-
serving,: that, the doariqe of Mr. PLOWDEN. went
to this extent, that every man might say what he
pleased of a Candidate for Parliament. -
Judgment of the Court below affirmed.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, [UNE 20.

JOHN LOCKYER, joHN, LOCKYER WAINWRIGHT,

AND -ISABELLA WAINWRIGHT.

On the entrance of the judges of the Court, the
ATT•JRNEY GENERAL prayed: judgment on these
Defendants.

Lord' ELL ENDOROUGH asked the Officer if Isa-
hdla Wainwright were in attendance, as she had
permission either to appear on that day, or at a
future times'

John Lockyer Wainwright immediately replied,
that she was waiting in.the Flail, their Lord-ships'
commands.

John Lockyer having entered the Court, followed
by Mrs. Wainwright, Mr. 'Justice GRosst deli-
vered-the sentence, accompanied by a concise and
pathetic address to the three unfortunate, persons
who; bad been convicted of this Conspiracy.
stated- the sufljciency, and even redundance of evi.
deuce, which played the crime beyond the reach•of
uncertainty. ; he dilated on the heinousness of the
offence, , and observed, thatit had the peculiar en.
.ormity of being an attempt to deliver up youth .and
indiscretion into the arms 'of age and avarice, and
to disappoint all the just expedations and flattering
hopes of the. unfortunate vktim of this crime. His
Lordship then commented on the share they had in-
dividually_borne in this nefarious trarisaftion,
• tinguishing the particular circumstances of aggra-
vation applicable to the several Defendants, and
concluded with ordering and adjudging 'to each of
them imprisonment under the custody of the Mar.
shal of the Court during 18 calendar months.
• [Mrs. WAtNW RIGHT appeared in the state of se-
rious and painful indisposition we reprowitited in
our report lait week.)
