PRIZES CAUSES.—Ou Sittlrday Ibe Lords COM•
missioners of Appeals sat at the Cockpit, and heard
several causes. None of them possessing much
interest, except the Appeal in the case of the cap,
tore of Moose Island, in the commencement of the
late war with the United States. The cease had
been heard twice before, and now came on oil
farther proof ; When the King's Advocate and
Dr. ADAMS were heard on the pert of the Captors,
and Mr. WILLIAM HARRISON, Dr. ARNOLD, and
Dr. JENNER for the claimants. The Court, atter
a short deliberation, decreed restitution to the
claimants, on payment of the taxed costs of the
captors. This case excited considerable intcresc
in British North America, and the result will
doubtlessly afford much satisfaction there.

The Electors of Bridgewater have invited Col.
TYNTE to represent them in the next Parliament;
which honour that Gentleman has publicly (le•
dined ; various circumstances preventing now
coming forward and accepting a seat, in Parlia-
tnent. _ _

and minutely examining the provision and accom-
modation which the unfortunate prisoners receiv.

the various arrangements, complimented the.
Keeper upon the cleanliness and good order ob-
served, and quitted the prison at about 2 o'clock:
