The 'Hanoverian troops, it is said, are going to
erect in the field of Waterloo, at the very, place
where they distinguished •themselves by their ex-
traordinary bravery, a monument which shall re-
cord to posterity their expl►►its on that memor-
able day ; the execution of this monument is con-
fided to a skilful artist ; 0:11 thousand franc• is the
sum to employed on it. Afterwards will come
the Monument of our Sovereign, which will not
be less distinguished than the others, and which
will doubtless be pl►►ced at Quatre Bras,, the real
place where the victory of the 18th was decided
before-hand by the courage of the Belgians, under
tl►e conduct of the valiant Prince of Orange.

New barley has been sold in .our market, and
wagers • are laid that new rye will,* brought in
the next market. The.fields from which the bar-
ley has been carried were again ploughed, and
some of. them already planted with potatoes.—
The fields of French Flanders, Picardy, and• 11 rtois
have uot for many years offered the prospect of so
rich a harvest. The vineyards of Champagne, and
Burgundy promise wines equal in quality. to 1602,
and exceeding in quantity the produce of two
common years. On the other hand the French
manufactories are recovering, and the number of
workmen increases daily. This happy result- is
owing to the rigorous prohibition of English
goods, the smuggling in of which is almost im-
possible..

Thit wa3 an action upon a policy of insurance
on the ship Atalanta, at anti froht Corfu, Teki,
Little Cephalonia, all or either during her stay
there, and thence to Trieste. Interest admitted
to be in the plaintiff, and loss averred to be by
perils of the seas.
Mr. TOl,rtio and Mr. CAMPBELL were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. SCARLEi'T, Mr. GURNSY, and
Mr.,CAlfFt, for the defendant..
The circumstances of the case were these
The plaintiff resides at Great Yarmouth, and had
chartered the Atalanta, a -mall-Sloop, for the
voyage in question. The 'policy was effected at
Yarmouth on the 7th of February, 1817, the ship
having sailed about the 20th of December from
Corfu, upon her voyage, 'which, in the ordinary
coarse of navigation in the• Adriatic, would not
occupy more than five rweeks. In the course of;
the.'voyage the vessel met With foul weather----all
her crew were washed overboard, except .one ratan
and a boy—she filled with water, and with the
assistance of some fishernteu was taken into .the
harbour of Venice, where she was left by the re-
mainder of her crew as a total wreck. It ap-
neared that the voyage from Trieste to England
was about three weeks, and on the 12th of Fe-
hrtiary the news of the loss arrived at Lloyd's,
seven days after the,insorance was effected. Un-
der these circumstances the action was brought
against the underwriters.
Ott ihe, part of the defendant, the defence set
up was, that the plAintitf was in possession of a
material letter in the month of November, respect-
ing the time at which the ship was to commence
her voyage, which he did not cononnnicate to the
nutlet writers at the time the- insurance was ef-
fected. •

Accordingly it was proved in evidence, that
about the 19th of November, the plaintiff hail
reccivedea letter from his Captain, dated the 26th
of the preceding October, stating that he was to
continence his voyage on the 28th of October,
and stating, that the moment he got to Trieste,
he should advise the plaintiff of his arrival. This
letter wls not communicated to the underwriters
until after the loss was known in England, nor
had any communication been. received from the
Captain after the letter in question. It was
proved, that had this letter been communicated to
the underwriters on the sth of February, no in-
surance cold have been effected, or, at lest, that
it could not have been effected on the terms of the
present policy.
Mr. .litstice'AßßoTi Was olopinion, that the
omission to -communicate thisletter was fatal to
the plaintiff's claim ; and therefore the.plaintiff.s
Counsel consented to be nohSuited.

RANDAL AND OTHERS V CLARKE AND GREY.

This was an action to recover the sum' ot 978 L
55.6 d. money paid, laid Out, and expended, to and
for the use of the defendants.

'Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Richardson, and Mr.l.Vylde.
were for the rdalistiffs,:tod Mr. i\farrynt, Mr. per-
ney, Mr. F. °l'ollork. sprd :Or.'ibark, were for the
defendants. The nisi of this case occupied a 'con-
siderable portion of the day.
The followiUg is an ontline of the case :—The
plaintiff are merchants in Liondon; and the de-
fendants had formerly been in partnership as
Blackwell-hall Factors. The defendant, Mr.
Gauntlet Clarke, bad in the year 1812 been in
partnership with a Gentleman named IVliitehead,
which partnership was dissolved at the end of that
year. For souse time atter this,Mr.Clarke continued
to carry on business on his own separate account,
and in the month of June be commenced a part•
nership with the other defendant, a Gentleman of
fortune, residing at Chtheuham, whose siame was
not to he pot forward in the concerts. By the
terms of the partnership agreement, each party
was to bring into the firm, as a joint capital. the
sum of 10,0001. .Mr. Grey to bring in his money
within a month from the date of the agreement,
and Mr. Clarke his quota at the end of the year.
Each was to have 5 per cent. for his money, be-
sides a- participation in the profits ; but for
the first year, Mr. Clarke was to pay all the
losses and expences of the concern, besides the
sum of one thousand pounds to Mr. Grey, clear
of all risk. At the time when this partnership
commenced, Mr. Clarke had had considerable
dealings in accommodation bills with the plaintiffs,
and other persons ; and also during his partner-
ship with Mr. Whitehead he had been in the
habit of raisin; money by accommodation paper.
This practice had likewise continued instil and
after the dissolution of Iris partnership with Mr.
Grey. It appeared, that during his partnership
with the latter, the plaintiff's had accommodated
him wi:h two accep:anees4 the one for 500/. and
the other fur 4781. which they had taken,un., and
the present action was brought to recover the
money lent and advanced by them to. take up
those bills; and the question was, whether the
money so advanced, was advanced for the, part-
nership's use. '1 he bills in question. were drawn
in the name of Gauntlet- Clarke, and the. only
question in the case was, whether Mr. Grey was
liable for the money so advanced, as a general
partner, after Mr. Clarke •Inid become batik-'
rapt.
On the part of the defendant Mr. Grey's evi-
dence was produced,' for the purpose of spewing
that Mr. Clarke had tint Complied with the terms.
of his partnership agreement, by advancing the
stipulated capital of 10,0001., and that the bills
in question, with others,• had beets drawn for the
purpose of performing his agreement and upbo
this evidence it WaS contended that Mr; Grey was
not liable for the money advanced by the plaintiffs.
' The case went to the Jury upon this, question,
under the observation's of the Learned Judge.; and
the .htry, under the circumstances, found a
diet tur the plaintiffs—Damages, 9781.
