r luflicr. it to sad , that 64 were perhapis is great
as 'were ever endured by mortals, and in fact as
e'reat as human nature such as ours could posSihly
ensltite. Our subsistence for nineteen days had
beeii as follOws :—each had thiee gills of brackish
water per day ; in the morning, tine ounce slf salt
beef or pork, and one ounce of cheese, and a
small handful of pease; at night, One ounce of
beer oi• pork, one ounce a dolphin, arid one
small potatoe, or half of a large one. This we found
very nourishing food, as well as serviceable to allay
our thirst, and Which we occasionally chewed for
that putpose. We had not one mouthful 'Of tread
of any kind ; we were continually %vet, and so
meat was our thirst, that some of our people
drabk their own urine, which proved to be very
injurious to them, for after they had drink it a
number of times, it passed through them every
ten or fifteen minutes, and caused great debility,
and those that pi act ised it were the most feeble
for several days after they got on board the Cam-
brian. I would here observe, that our boat
leaked very tiltsch, so that we calculated she would
have leaked herself full every eight hours ; the
gunnel of the boat was in no part more than one
foot from the water. As to the cause of our ves-
sel's upsetting, it is impossible for us in any way
to account for it, for when we left the deck there
was very little wind, and no appearance of squalls,
neither was there any when we came on deck,
Which time, at the longest, could not exceed three
minutes; neither had the man at the helm heard or
-perceived any wind ; besides, it is impossible it
could be done by the wind, mid thy Mate and
myself in the cabin not to have heard it, which
we did not ; but the only warning we had was her
setting over ;—np the side we instantly endea-
voured to get on deck, which we did in a few se-
conds, but she was keel out. It may perhaps be
thought by some who may see the account of this
unfortunate disaster, that I have been too parti-
cular in mentioning apparently trifling circum-
stances, but to us who have experienced so won-
derful a deliverance, I should deem myself greatly
deficient its gratitude to that good God who has
so mercifully spared us, not tt. mention every
thing be was pleased to bless as a means to accom-
plish so merciful an end. To him, the God of
Mercy, we owe • our most grateful acknowledg-
ments, and may our spares; lives be more devoted '
to his service than ever they have been, We were
taken up by the Cambrian, in hit: 37. 44. and long.

sons mercifully preserved in the lung-boat were

I would by no means-omit to mention, that had
we not been taken up the day we were, or the.
next day by noon, we nst eventually have pe-
rished, as there cante on a • hard westerly gale,
with so high a sea, as would have sunk mir boat
in a minute. The foregoing is as, particular an
account of this turf!,rinirate diselster,a) it is in our.
power to relate. To God lie all the glory Of our
pteservation.

LAW INTELLIGENCE..,,

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN 4,26.

PATENT HAIR BRVSHEV---ThIR KIN 4 V.,bIETtALFE.

Mr. SCAILETT 'moved for a rule'to spew cause
why the verdict in this case should not be set
aside and a new trial granted. The action was
tried 1.1-a Special Jury last term, anti a verdict
was fountiforthe crowa, oti the ground that the
specification of the Patent was not made out, the
description not being correct. The Learned Colin-
tel now contended, that the merits of the este had'
not been fairly gone into; and although at first
siht it might appeal. a Small matter of .contest,
yet when the very greitt superiority over the
rest of the brushes manufactured for -theYttinte
purpose was considered, it would be found of tiu
small importance to his client. The brushes. were
described as tapering brushes, an& he would.- veil-,
ture to maintain that they were properly so de-
scribed.

Mr. Justice ABBOTT requested that oue of the
brushes might be handed up to him ; and inquired
if it was one of the brushes produced at the trial.
ME.SCARLETT.--."No, my Lord, all those brushes
are safely locked up in the Court of Chancery."
Lord ELLENISOROUGH.—" Then this is only a
Common Law Brash; we should certainly have had
one of the others before us."

Mr. SCARLETT.—" Your Lordship well knows,
that when brushes or any thing else get into the
Court of:Chancery, it is a long time before they
can be got out again."
Lord ELLENDO'ROEIGII.--." The hairs-of these
brushes are of unequal length, they- are not te-
perish. The defendant should have gone to school
to learn the meaning.of words before he nretended
to describe his iuvei►tion. if he had made use of
the term unequal, he would have been safe, but it
seems that he must adopt a poetical 'word without
understanding the meaning."
Mr. SCARLETT observed, that a species of
bristles procured front Russia were called tapering
tufts in the mercantile phrase, and that he thought
a sufficient reason for the use of the term.

Lord ELLErounaottou thought otherwise, and
advised the defendant, if he could, to amend his
patent, and to put the word unequdi fur taperibh.
Rule granted.
