The fhip Ann, WARDEN, failed this morning
from Old Harbour for London.

The bufinefs for which the Affernbly were called
together being 6nifhed, his Honour w•as pleated
to put an end to the Sefflon on Wednelday lift,
by the following Speech :

" Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen
" of the AlLmbly,
" The bufinefs of the Seflion being doled, I
grant you a. recefs. I do, in his Majetly's name
prorogue this General Affembly, to Tuefday, the
vyth day of July next, and it is hereby pro: ogued
accordingly."
This being the laft day of the June Grand Court
the following perfons were called to the Bar, and
received them fentences

Thomas John Mytin, and Samuel R. Mytin, for
an alTault on David Garfia, the former to pay a
F.n: of 501. and to be imprifoned nne month ; the

mitted until the fines are paid.

a fine of zol.

John *Lean, Efq. for contempt of Court, to
pay a fine of xsol. and all expences incurred by
the various attachments that have been illned
againll him.
A caufe of great importance to the commercial
world was this day decided, in the Grand Court,
againli the holder of an accepted order, ror not
having prefented it until four days after the ac-
ceptance became due, it being the opinion of the
Bench that due diligence bad not been tiled.
The Iron Bridge over the Rio Cobre, we are
happy to fay, is now pal Table for carri iges. From
the Itrength and nature of its conaration, we
cannot doubt that it will fully anfw‘r every ex-
peetation as to utility and duration. Its beauty
and elegance have a very fine effeCt on approach.
ing this town, to which it forms a very great or-
nament.

REFINER'S BLUE VIRDITER-4t is rather (Irange,
among the important difcoveries in cherniqry for
thefe laft twenty years, that the art of pi sparing
that beautiful blue colour, called Refiners Blue
Verditer, or Bleu de Montague, Ihould tenttin a fe-
cret with, perhaps, not more than a dozen people
in the world. There is, indeed, an abundance of
blue colours which bear that name : but what we
allude to here is a foft, moll beautiful warm blue,
even fuperior in point of tint to ultramarine.—
Dr. PRIESTLEY, we underhand, when relident in
Birmingham, was occafionally engaged for fevcral
years m effecting this object, hot never lucceeded
to any tolerable degree of perfection. England at
prefent furnifhes the whole of this article to com-
merce. PELLETIER, in his Annals of Chemillry,
has given an analyfis and mode of prepat ing the
tender bleu d'ilns4terre ; but there is reafon to believe
that his analyfis is incorrect. Mr. Fotracaov, in his
" Sy(leme des Connailfance Chimiques," vol. 6.
p. 275, fags, L'Angleterre a long toms f :urni
feul au commerce cette couleux li employee
dams la fabrication des papiers peints."—lt
is prepared in a fmall way by several refiners in
London, and fometimes to a tolerable degree cf
perfection; but they feldom ever make it twice
alike. The largeft manufactory of this colour in
the kingdom is that of Meths. COLLARD and FRA-
SER, of Birmingham, whole article forpaffes in
beauty all that we have feen. The confumption
of this colour in Europe is great, and there is cer-
tainly room for others to embark in the manufac-
ture of this article. PELLETIER may not be ea-
adly come& in his mode of preparing it ; but it is
likely the Principles he has laid down are true,
