LAID INTELLIGENCE.

ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COIVM3NS,
TOIORSDAT' INOVXMArR 10.
Ti day the Right Hon. Sir WILLIAM Sccirr, pro-
ceeded to the adjudication of the following cases:
Frau Maria Cathazina, Hustede, Master; and Zwey Freanhin,
B:erg, Master.-11ese two nit* came before the Court ton
further proof, respecting two valuable cargoes. The Court, eV
hearing the mat of evidence read, and the Advocates on It 4,1
sides, was satisfied that the transaction was a bona sde transao*,
don, and accordingly restored the property as claimed, allowing I
the captors their expellees of the further proof, cad freight and I
expences to the neutral Master.
Louisa, Evans, Master.—This vessel sailed under Fresh co-
lours, and in the prosecution of her voyage was captured by the
French, and afterwards recaptured by one of his Majesty's fri-
gates. The ship was in this case restored on the payment of the
usual salvage.
Eigeppiana, Jorg, Master.—This was a question of captor's
exper.ces ; which were refused.
Speculator, Brady, Master.—This was a British vesel, with a
cargo of hemp, on a voyage from Riga to Plymouth, which was
captured by the French, and afterwards recaptured by a Custom-
house cutter. In this case the usual salvage was allowed.

In consequence of the high price of grain in Eng-
land, Ministers have made contracts for the supply of
our armies in Spain and Portugal, as well as our
troops at Malta, and the garrison of Gibraltar, from
Mogadore, and the ports of :;icily. It is even be-
haved that they have made arrangements for the
supply of the West-India islands from the same
quarter.

The Royal Westminster Militia have marched from
&with to Cdchester.
Nearly 800 members of the 'Loyal Birmingham
Volunteers have *ransferred their services to the Local
Militia; and the remainder are expected to follow the
aame laudable example.

On Thursday a Court of Directors was held at-the
East India House, when the following Captains were
mom into the Command of their respective ships,
vie.--Captain 3. Eastiorem, Admiral Gardner, Ma-
tin., Madras and Bengal ; Captain P. Sastestne,
Dever Castle, Madras and Bengal. The under-
mentioned ships were taken up in addition to those
engaged for this season, viz.—Contts, Metcalfe, De-
vonshire, Surry, and Marquis Wellesley. The Court
adjourned at seven o'clock till Wednesday deli.
Tuesday, the smack belonging to and navigated
by John M'Phail, cooper, Greenock, on her way to
Glasgow from herring-fishing, was ran foul of by a

against *Phil's breast as to occasion his instant

DRIMY-LANE.—The magnificence of the Scenery,
the splendour of the Decorations, anti the animated
gammons of ELLISTON, JOHNSTONE, RAYMOND) Mrs.
a. SIMONS, and Mist RAY, gave, lan night, an
improved effect to the second performance of " The
67:Io of St. Qinntio." Severaludicious curtail-
tweets have been made in the Third Act ; and the
slaughter of the French being diminished, the dram&
looks bears a less striking resemblance to the sangui-
vary catastrophe of "TomThinob." In " The Sultan,"
the Roxolana of Mu. JORDAN VMS peculiarly distin-
tuished for a bewitching playfulness and vivacity.—
The House was excessively crowded.
Xmo's Tuxatitz.--The new Melo-Drama, The
gam, one of the most interesting pieces of that de-
scription which has been introduced to our Stage,
irks performed for the, second time last night. The
whole of the acting, and particularly that of Yomeo
ii. 314 Pop, in the serious parts, was highly corm-nen-
°able. Mrs. Dicitoxs displayed great musical skill,
and the fine voice of IxcLenos was heard to great
etrantage. The house was full-

' COURT OF KING'S EENCH, NOVEMBER 11.
SIAM (qui tam) P. ROOERS.
•
The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for a Rule to
shew cause why the writ of mandamus, issued to com-
pel certain Justices of the Sessions to return this con-
viction, should not be quashed. The object of this
motion was to facilitate that which the Defendant
wished. The Justices had convicted the Defendant
of an offence against the 42cl of Geo. 111. which was
an act to prohibit all persons from watering malt
within a certain time, anti in a certain manner therein
specified. The 4Gth of the King repealed the 42d,
and gave the party convicted before a Justice, the
r tight of appeal, which the 42d did not ; but the 46th
'no only in force for a limited tune, which was ex.:
pired at the date of the present conviction; for, on
the expiration of the 46th,. the 42d revived ; and by
' the 42d there was no appeal; so that the Defendant
, could make nothing of his mandamus, and therefore it
was that he moved it should be quashed. The De-
fendant was deceived in supposing. that he had an ap-
oil, Anil now he was out of time for his certiorari,
and which he could not have while:int his (the Attor-
ney General's) consent, but he would consent if the
writ of inattelannes was quashed.—Rule to thew cause.
EXCESSIVE IitiLDING TO amt.
Mr. Gannow moved, on the late Act of. Parlia-
ment, for subjecting Plaintiffs, who hold Defen-
dants to bail in mote than they knew to be due, to
costs, although they have a verdict in their favour, for
a rule to shew cause why the Plaintiff should not pay
costs. In the present instance the action was brought
upon the sum dueupon a bond, which was originally
for 1501. but in consequence of payments made by
the Defendant, it was reduced to 501. notwithstand-
ing which, the Plaintiff held him to bail for 611.
when he must have known, as it was stated, that only
501. could be due, beeahse all the sums paid. were in-
dined Pa tho bc44 grantcd.
