will return to England in the course of this year, when the rainy
season sets in on the coast; and it is probable the BLainsroxx will
be here about June next.

The Timis, Captain Sir JOHN PIOLLIMORE, with the squadron
under his orders, consisting of the three trial sloops and the JA•Pilt,
are expected to return to Spithead very shortly. They sailed from
Falmouth, on their last experimental cruise, on Monday sennight.
The following intelligence has been received at the New Eng-
land Coffee House :—The ship Blucher, Parrett, from Liverpool

Captain, passengers, and crew, twenty-three persons in number,

on the 26th of December, in lat. 38. 30. and long. 33. W. by the

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN.I7.

+-

Hugh Mills Buubury, the young man who was ex-
amined on a previous day, came up for judgment. The
insolvent, it will be recollected, was made a Commoner
at Cambridge, and obtained from various tradesmen
there a quantity of goods, under the pretence of his
being the son of Sir Thomas Sunbury,. with an income
of 7001• a-year and large expectations; having abruptly
left the College, his creditor% immediately arrested him,
and he went to prison.
Mr. Cooxa wished to explain some points that had
appeared in the 'newspapers, when the insolvent's exa-
mination was reported.
The Cover declined hearing the Learned Gentleman,
and sentenced the insolvent to twelve months' imprison-
ment, for obtaining goods without any prospect of
means to pay for the same.
Humphrey May was also sentenced to six months'
imprisonment, for not accounting for some part of his
property.

The Barbadoes Papers announce the death of
WALT= R. Dtairmr, Esq. youngest son of the Governor; and
Government Secretary. Mr. D'Ualon had, in the company of
the Protector, and a party of young Gentlemen, visited an Indian
post up the Essequebo, for the purpose of witnessing the distribution
of the triennial presents made to the Indians ; and, while bathing
in the Creek, almost immediately went down. His body did not
rise till twenty-five hours had elapsed. One of the party of Gen-
tlemen, who can swim very well, made every effort to save him
without effect.
AFFAIR OF Hogoxra.—A meeting took place on the
4th instant, between —IIOIVTUERS and Gaoling Jocose's', Esqrs.
the latter, a Professional Gentleman. The first shot was without
effect, but on a second exchange of shots, both Gentlemen were
wounded Mr.J. slightly, and Mr. C. dangerously, the ball having en-
tered his side, between the second and third ribs, lodged in his
back; it was extracted in a few hours after the meeting, and he is
now considered out of danger.
We observe that a Meeting has been held at the
George Inn, Axminster, of Landowners and others, the object of
which was to create an opposition to the proposed Ship Canal across
the Isthmus of Somersetshire, to unite the English and Bristol"
Channels. "We have made enquiry respecting this Meeting, and
find that no prelrious notice was published to convene it, and that
it Was attended by from fourteen to sixteen persons; some of whom
were not landowners. It seems to us quite clear, from all that we
have heard and seen respecting the Canal, that the object of not pre.
viously advertising the Meeting was fully answered, by confining it
to the little Janus we have already mentioned ; for we know enough
of the sense of the owners and occupiers of land generally, to be
convinced that had publicity been given to the Meeting, such
a string of resolutions would never have been carried ;indeed,
we should have been surprised had their tenor not been of the most
opposite description. The character of the Meeting at Axminster,
is sufficiently evinced by the circumstance, that all the Resolutions,
Which are in all respects decidedly hostile to the Canal, were
carried unanimously, which could not have been the case, had the
Meeting been properly convened.
The Laughing Philosopher, who made his debut in
Christmas week, has since perforined an extensive tour of the three
Kingdoms, and added to the cheer of thousands of merry families.
He is still on his travels, sought everywhere, and his attendance may
be commanded, through any Bookseller, for a fee of only half-a-
guinea, which includes travelling expenses.
Mangan, whose mysterious retteat has excited so
much attention, And who was believed to have been
murdered, has at length been discovered. It appears
that he has entered as a soldier into the service cf the
East India Company. His brother, and Mr. Duvall,
upon the information of two men who claimed two gui-
neas as a reward for the discovery, which they received,
went to Chatham, and recognized him in the appro-
priate dress. He declined telling his motives for enter-
ing, and yet acknowledged that he knew that the itispi•
cion of having murdered him fell upon Lynn, ,now
charged with the murder of Hogg. No attempt was
made by Mangan's friends to release hint from the Com-
pany's service, and he expected to be diaughted off for
ludia this day.

ber of men enlisted to reel nit the army, for the. year
