On Friday, the Britoinart, 10, Commander Johnson, arrived i'e•.•
from the Western Islands, having in tow a brig named the Kathlee.%
which she picked up in lat. 25. 32. W. about 1,100 miles from this
port, quite a wreck, with no one on board. The vessel was laden wit',
deals, her batches were open, her masts gone, and not a rope or block
remained. The crew of the Britomurt secured her harcbes in the la .1
manner they could, and rigged up jury-masts. On her exansins•in,/
here, it appeared she was from New Brunswick, but not a vestke
any document could be found to throw any light as to wriere she torr
dered, or what had become of the crew—thou,th the inference is, as
clothes were found on board, that the crew must bare been off the
wreck. She is about 130 tons burthen, and, from the large quantity of
barnacles on her sides, it is presumed she must have then in that state
for many months.
The Carron steam-vessel arrived on Sunday from Liverpool, to which

Or MARITIME AND INLAND DISCOVERY.
• We ha* reeled'. d longer than we intended, to notice the 2d volume
.91," The Hiat.•:evof Maritime and Inland Discovery." forming the
`Yltl Volume; cf Dr. Lardnces Cyclopedia. We ha* perused it with
„ kkettiqn, e..ti conscientiously say, that a more truly instructive
lime v.:1.11;10;!.ever pawed through our hands. Those who have seen
!be 11.0 volume. ne II no' have a better recommendation than an as.
porras,ce that :he etimat ter of the undertaking as commenced is ably
continued. Great judgment is shewn, not only in the abridgment of
the voyages it. troduced. but in the selection of the voyages abridged, and
we ,bserve. with satiefuttien, some are introduced which have been,
hitherto, too muEh neglected. Thus we find a very interesting abridg-
ment of the voyages and adventures of Ferdinand Mendes Pinto—who
like Marro Paulo was long only known to the public by his being emi-
t dDistinguished for the most impudent mendacity—but
It 'earth has removed the odium as unjust. Our extract shall be
troll thi., feat of the volume.
•:ifirVERINGS me PINTO FROM SIIIPWILLCI.—On Pinto's return
trout) the King of Aaru, he suffered shipwreck, and was obliged to crawl
his companions through the deep mud that lined the shore, tor-
11;enteri by myriads of insects, and in constant fear of being attacked by
the S 4 rpents and wild beasts that haunted the neighbouring woods. One
ot his companions died in his arms. With the remaining three he
rt-uelell a small river, which it was necessary to cross; but the two fore-
inost of the party had scarcely reached the middle of the stream, when
they were teized by alligators and dragged to the bottom. Pinto and
his surviving comrade continued standing in the sea, as the safest place
'hes, could choose. A small vessel at length approached the shore, in
whirl, they embarked to return to Malacca. The boat's crew, however,
soon commenced beating the two Portuguese, to force them to confess
where their treasures lay concealed. Seeing that the flogging proved
i .effectual, dley supposed that their captives had swallowed their gold,
and in cnnsequence administered to the companion of Mendes Pinto so
violent an emetic, that he died soon after ; and Pinto himself escaped
similar treatment only from the ill success of this experiment. He was
drugged ashore nearly dead from famine and ill usage; but as his weak.
revs made him an unprofitable slate, no food was given to him, and
tie was turned," he says, " a grazing like a horse." A Mahometan
merchant, hearing that he had friends at Malacca, at length put an end
to his sufferings, and redeemed him for a sum equivalent to about 17s. 6d.
oi our money.

Li IV REPORTS.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 28.
MICHELLI Y. SOLLY.

The plaintiff, an Italian artist, and picture-cleaner, sought by this
action to recover 1301. for cleaning and restoring four pictures, the
works of Italian Masters, of the old school, for the defendant, a gentle-
man of fortune, acrd the owner of a splendid gallery.
It appeared from the evidence in support of the plaintiff's case, that
the pictures, viz.:—The Virgin—A Virgin and Child—The Virgin
and Angela—and the portrait of an Italian Nobleman, were sent to the
pltintiff to be repaired. Time had nearly moved off one Madona, but
ti.e miraculous touch of the plaintiff's pencil restored the face to its
original purity. The skilful hand of Chevalier Michelli restored
all these cluf d'aurres of art, but he had not the skill to obtain pay-
vst.nt upon the scale by which he valued his work and labour.
Another artist, named Pabloni, and another artist, 111. Renagle,
proved the cleaning of the picture, and the charge, to be rea.
scrable.
Mr. CAMPBELL, en the part of the defendant, resisted payment,
principally on the ground that the pictures had been injured by the
p:aintiff. It was stated, that the Chevalier Michelli came to thin
e atutry in 1811, and was then described to be an Italian nobleman,
with large possessions in Sicily. He was a great admirer of the fine
arts, and haring been introduced to the defendant, was allowed to excl.
cisc his favourite pursuit, namely, restoring the works of ancient pa in.
tors upon the four pictures in question. They were sent to his lodgings.
where the plaintiff kept them a considerable time. When sent home
trey were consideted in a worse state than that in which they were taken'
away. The defendant being called upon for remuneration, told the
plaintiff he might have four or five pictures belonging to him at Stan.
icy's, in Bond.street. The offer was not accepted, on the ground that
the plaintiff was not a picture dealer.
A witness expressed an opinion, that the pictures had been reduced
in value by the work of the plaintiff. The head of the Virgin must
have been a new head, as it did not appear to be in the style of the
Master who had painted the other parts.
The Jury, under all circumstances of the case, found a verdict for
the plaidtiff—Damages, 1001.
