In the Surrey Assize Court, yesterday, the impor-
t:l;a and long depending Cause of Messrs. Campbell
Whiter', of this city, versus Missrs. John Kir-
wan and Sons, of London, came to be tried by a
Special Jury. The action was brought to recover
the value of 2,100 chests rf Havanna sugar, con-
signed by the former to the latter in July 1799, which
were destroyed by fire in February following.—At
the trial it was fully proved by the evidence of many
respectable and experienced Merchants of this place,
and by the depositionii (which were read in Court)
of several eminent Merchants of London, to be the

practice sz,d usage of is to whom West India
produce is consigned,•YWlha take open themselves
to delay the sale thereof, without orders, to• insure.
against fire, although they may not have received or-
ders to that effect. Several cases were adduced, where
property, so consigned, had been destroyed by fire,
and the value recovered by the owner from his agent.
In this case it appears, that Messrs. Kirwan and
Sons took upon themselves to keep the property on
hand upwards of six rn(mths, without any orders for so
doing ; during which period the price of -sugar fell
upwards of 20s. per cwt. and that they insured these
goods against fire, and charged Messrs. Campbell and
Co. with the premium, though then under no advance
whatever • that they renewed the said insurance, and
charged the premitun, ,in like manner, to Messrs.
Campbell and Co. ; but the last insurance expired
some Jays previous to the fire taking place.—The
Jury returneda verdict in favour of Messrs. Campbell
and Whittle. for $g Al. 7s. being the value of the
sugars at the time /ivy were destroyed, with costs.
JANUARY 23.
Monday came on in the Surrey Assize Court the
trial of Awry Lr, ntwer of the Eliza Guineaman,
charged with feloniously, wilfully, and with malice ;
aforethought, striking one William Wood, Second
Mate of the said vessel, a mortal blow, on the 15thl
November last, on his nose, close by his right eye,
which fractured his skull, and of which he shoitly af-
ter died. The Jury, after hearing the arguments of
Counsel on both sides, and the evidence in the ex-
culpatory part of.which there was much contradic-
tion) retired for :shoot !".5 minutes, and returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter."
On Tuesday Henry Lefer, Richard Landy, alias
Lundy, and Al•xander Miller, were put on their trial
at the Conn House, charged with wilfully, feloni-
ously, and with malice aforethought, beating with
their hands one William Steed, formerly surgeon of
the Narcissus Guineaman, on the 11th November last,
so as to occasion his death. Several witnes.:es were
heard on both sides, as well as very elaborate plead-
ings ; when the Jury retired for about three quarters
of hour, and returned a verdict of " Manslaughter"
against Richard I.andy, alias Lundy ; and Henry
Leifer and Alexander Miller" Not Guity."

Yesterday Heary Lfer and Richard Lanny, alias
Lundy were individually put to the bar, ar.d after a
short admonition ti mu the Bench, they were senten.
ced to pay a fine of 7001. each, and to stand com-
mitted until such fine be paid. Mr. Attorney General
then rose, and in consequence of being informed that
Captain Miller had used scme threatning expressions
towards Johnson, the principal witness on the part
of the prosecution, moved that he should be bound
over to keep the peace. The Counsel on the other
side hoped that as he was in a strange country, their
Honours the Judges would deem his own security
sufficient ; their Honours were therefore pleased to
direct that he should be bound over in the sum of
1001. for his good behaviour.
The following are extracts from a Jamaica paper :
" Parish of St. F.lizabeth—Mr. James Jennings, who
was settling a coffee plantation about three mires from
this, had his throat cut ; his housekeeper, her head
severed from her body : their eldest daughter, her
throat cut ; the next boy, cut and scalped ; the third,
strangled ; and a black child, his throat cut, and
scalped ; there is also one of Mr. Jenni..gs's brown
children missing, about three years old, which, there
is not the least doubt, has shared the same fate ; and
the murderers, to complete their barbarity, cut the
throat of a milch goat, which they left weltering in its
blood. These cruel and barbarous murders were com-
mitted on a Sunday, and supposed to be done by six
Corotnantee Negro men, purchased by Mr. Jennings
about six months ago. One of the above Negroes
was discovered in the woods by a party sent in pur-
suit of them, who shot him on the spot. He was
wrapped in the clothes of the woman they had so
cruelly murdered."
" CATSKILL, Fee. 2.—On Thursday night last, the
house of the Honourable Daniel Sayer, of Canton,
was burned down, and four of his children consumed
in the flames. At a late hour of the night the back
part of the house was discovered to be on fire, but not
till it had got to such a height, that every effort to
save the house, or the four children, proved ineffec-
tual. How the fire originated is not known."

CHILD STEALINCL-At Union Hall, yesterday, So-1
phy Bouter was brought up, and underwent a long
examination, charged- on the oath of Charles
horn,Wag-
of the Horns Tap, at Kennington, with steal-
ing rom him a child two years old; by whom it was
stated, that, about eleven o'clock in the morning of
the preceding day, he lost his infant daughter, and
that it was found at Balam Hill, near Clapham, in
possession of the prisoner, in the afternoon, by Ro-
bert Collins; who also stated, that in consequence of
an information he had received of the above child
having been stolen, and likewise a description of a
woman who had been seen with it, he went in pursuit
of her, and, after various enquiries, traced her to
Balam Hill, and there took her with the child in an
errand cart; and, on her being apprehended, she
informed him that she had got the child fix= the
Swan, at Stockwell. The prisoner was committed I
for re•exaniination, to-morrow.

FlRE.—About three o'clock , on the morning of
Wednesday se'nnight, a fire broke out in a public.
house in Thomas-stri..et, Dublin, belonging to a young
man of the name of Brady. The two adjoining
houses were also burned, but the furniture, &c. were
saved. Some poor men, carelessly roaming the next
day through the ruins of Brady's house, were so se-
verely bruised by the sudden tall of a stack of chim-
nies, that one of them has since died, and two others
are in a dangerous situation.
The remains of Miss Eve and Miss Woolmer, the
two young Ladies who perished in the late dreadful
fire at Cheirnstbrd, were on Saturday interred in one
grave, in the church-yard of that town. The funeral
was conducted with peculiar solemnity. Twenty-
four young Ladies, habited in white, preceded the
coffins. The pails were borne by twelve young La-
dies, in white dresses and hoods, supported by the
same number of young men, in black, with white
hat-bands. The relatives and friends of the-deceased,
and a numerous train of the principal inhabitants of
the town, in deep mourning, followed. Mrs. Smith,
at whose house the fire broke out, died the same
morning. Miss Williams is in a fair way of reco-
very; but Miss Wilkinson, still remains in a very
precarioUs state.

I'HE Success of SPILSBURV'S Patent Antiscorbutic
Drops, in Scropholnui and Eruptive Diseases, may perhaps
be explained by its removing any injurious matter that ob-
structs the action of the absorbent glands; for, it is a fact,
in all cases in which the medicine has been must successfol, the
discharge at first is much increasod, (if eruptiv, more violent)
till the matter advances to health, In colour and consistency, with
an improved state of the appetite. Even this is the case in elderly
people, who from want of vigour have frequent ulcerations on the
extremities. The effects of the medicixe on Scurvy, Gout, and
Rheumatism are well known. It is requested you will a'k for the

CHING'S PATENT WORM LOZENGES.
FrO Parents, Guardians, and others who have the
-I- care of Children, this valuable medicine cannot be too strongly
recommended. Worms are a disease few children escape. They
destroy the appetite, weaken the organs of digestion, produce pains
in the stomach and bowels, deprive the body of its nourishment,
occasion emaciation and paleness stop the progress of growth, and
are the cause of the most alarming sonvulsions, which toe often
terminate in death. Nor are their effects less severe on grown per,
sons; by ulcerating the stomach and bowels, they are often the
cause of lingering complaints, which prove fatal at last, and subject
the patient to the most excruciating fita of agony and distress. In
childhood, every disease with which a child is afflicted is also high-
ly exasperated by them. The certainty and safety both of their
prevention and cure, by the above medicine, is so fully established
to the satisfaction of the Public, by the testimony of the first and
most leading characters of the Nobility, aul of others of high re-
spectability, who have witnessed its remarkable effects in their own
families, that it is only necessary to observe, this is the period of
the season when such a medicine ought to he given to children and
others,to prevesit any attack of this complaint.
