NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

TOR OGLR CASTLE.

Lcores, Nov. 9.—By the Abberton, arrived from Bombay,
letters have been received from that place, dated the 15th of July.
From them we learn, that the Ogle Castle had only two passengers
on board ; their names viere--Lieut. %wax Novo" and Lieut.
Wissux Nowa'''. The former statement of six females having
been seen on the poop, must have been a mistake.

on the 341 of July, in a leaky state, having experienced bad weather,
and it was supposed would go into dock.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. IL
SIR WILLIAM CLAYTON, BART. V. -•••••• BROWN, ISQ

AND WIFIL.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated, that this was an
action on a contract. The plaintiff, Sir Wm. Clayton.
had a house in Gloucester-place, which he commissioned
his Agent, Mr. Johnson, to let for him. The Baronet
at this time resided in Oxfordshire, and the Agent, in
December. 1824, let the house upon agreement to Mrs.
M•Dougall, the wife of Admiral Nl•Dougall, for the
term of one month. at ten guineas per week. The ser-
vants of Mrs. M'Dougall took possession of the house,
and put in part of the luggage, but the next day they
complained that the house was uninhabitable, being
both damp and dirty, and so forth. Mrs. M'Dougall
and another Lady (her friend) inspected the house;
and the consequence was, that she refused to go into it.
Mrs. M'Dougall afterwards married Mr. Brown.
Mr. Johnson, the Agent of Sir William Clayton, proved the
cootraet for one month, at ten guineas per week.
Mr. Serjeant WILD; on the part of the defendant,•
contended that the contract was not binding, because
the house was totally uninhabitable. To prove this he
called two witnesses, the footman and lady's maid of
Mrs. Brown, who both said that the house was exceed-
ingly damp and dirty, and had spoiled their blanketsokc.
Mr. Serjeant VAuotraw, in reply. cautioned the Jury
to beware of the statements of servants, who were, in
most c ises, more difficult to please than their masters
and mistresses. The house was irs more damp than the
nature of the season, which they all recollected was vet y
wet, had occasioned ; but the proverbial fastidiousness
of servants, especially where their immediate interests
were concerned, as in this case, was the only cause of
Mrs. Brown's objections to reside in the house. Mrs.
Brown (M.Dougall) was at that time living in a gay
and fashionable hotel, where her servants were living
like 64 fighting-cocks," and where, instead of waiting
upon her, they were waited upon themselves by the
servants of the hotel, so that they enjoyed not only th:
great pleasute of being treated like Ladies and Gentle-
men, but the additional felicity of being made love to.
which was of the utmost importance to them in dirk
representation of 4. high life below stairs"—( Laughter).
—Taking all this into consideration, it was nothing
strange that they should be loth to quit their 44 gay
abode," with all its enjoyments, for the damp and ditty
house which their servile fancies had conjured up, and
of which they had used their powers of persuasion to
convince their mistress. No doubt Betty, the lady's
maid, conceiving a natural abhorrence at the house, for
more things than its imputed damp and dirty condition,
would tell John, the footman, that her Ladyship had a
great horror of bugs; and in order to prolong their gay
career at the hotel, she would tell him that it was in-
dispensable they should in'orm their mistress that they
had seen a bug in the house. " Seen one bug," said
Johnny, 4, why, I will swear that I saw one hundred—
a whole swarm of them, creeping about the walls"—
(Lauskier).—n Th•.t will just do," said the sensitive
Betty ; 6, keep to that, for my Lady hates bugs so,
you can't think"—( [roars of laughter).
The Loan Cuter Jimmie summed up, observing, that there was
a specific agreement that the Lady should take the house for one
month certain, at ten guineas per week.
The Jur), after some consultation, found a verdict for the plain-
tiff—Damages, 142.
COURT OF DELEGATES, Nov. 8.
PRISCO* v. BRISCOL.

This Court at yesterday for the first time this Term, but did
not prolong its sitting beyond twenty minutes.
Doctor La; in the suit of Briscoe v. Briscoe, which
is one for separation by reason of adultery, complained
of the great delay which had been unnecessarily created
in bringing it to a termination. It had been now before
the Court for several years, attended with very heavy
costs, and was as yet undisposed of. The Learned
Gentleman concluded by moving that the Registrar be
directed to lay before the Court, previous to its next
day of sitting, as account of the cos•s and expenses of
this suit in its various stages.
The motion was seceded to, after which the Court adjourned.

SONNET.-ON TWO LOVERS.

Theirs was a hallowed flame! for they bad met
In childhood's sunny path, ere tempeit-showers
Had passed their shadows o'er the bright-winged hours
Of life's deceitful morn;—ere fell IlLgr..-t
With her malignant mildews coldly wet
The blooms of early joy,—when in the bowers
Of Innocence and Uwe, 'mil sweet spring Meyers,
They little dreamed 'the sun of hope would set !
Oh! sweet and brief delusion ! All too soon
'lire bleak storm howled, the gathering clouds were rife
With death and desolation; in the noun
Of life and luve, amid the gloom and strife.
Those fund impassioned lovers widely parted :
She in the cold grave sleeps—He lingers broken-hearted !
