CURIOUS EJECTMENT.

DOE ON DEMISE OF JOHN G. PARKER V. SARAN PARKER.
This was an action of ejectment brought by the lessor
of the plaintiff, John George Parker, described to be
the son of Richard Parker, who suffered at the Nore, in
1197, to recover possession of an estate in the neighbour-
hood of Exeter, which he claimed as heir at law.
The cause was tried before Mr. Justice Burrough, at
Exeter, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. 1
The circumstances of the case are extraordinary, and
evidence was brought to shew that the claimant and
successful party bad obtained the verdict of a Jury in
his fa►our by gross fraud and imposition.
The Court, without hesitation, granted a rule to
shew cause.

Viscount CHATEAUBRIAND had a splendid Levee OD
Saturday evening last. The British Ambassador and
all the Coq: Diploniatique were present. The Vis-
countess and a numerous train of the French Nobility
also attended.

The Diorama in Paris exhibits an internal view of
the ruins of Holyrood•house, Edinburgh, which has
been attended by crowds. The view is by moon-light.

The remains of the venerable SICARD, Teacher of the
Deaf and Dumb in 'aris, who died some time ago in
poor circumstances, have been disinterred, and laid in
ground purchased by asubscription set on-foot. by M.
Ullsox LADEBAT, Paris, where a monument is erected
to his memory. It is an extraordinary circumstance
that the French Government, who appreciated the ta-
lents of the Abbe, did not supersede the necessity of
such a subscription, to accomplish an object to keep
alive the memory of one of the greatest benefactors of
the human race.

yesterday. Verdict," Accidentally drowned."

EMIGRATION TO CANADA..-.-.EttraCt of a letter from
Montreal, dated Sept. 20:—" The steam-boats Lady
Sherbrook and Swiftsure arrived here last week from
Quebec ; on board the first there were 287, and in the
latter 277 Irish emigrants, being .a part of those for
whom passages were provided under the superintend-
ence of Mr. Robinson. We understand that another
vessel is now on the way from Ireland with a full cargo
of settlers, and that many more may be expected in the
spring. The measures taken by Government are well
calculated to insure success to. the emigrants in this
country, and to relieve the inhabitants of both Quebec.
and Montreal from a very unpleasant burthen with
which the former wretched state of these wanderers
taxed their humanity. The emigrants are now to re-
ceive a free passage and provisions, and to he forwarded
at Government expense trom the place of their land-.
ing to the spot laid out for their location, and to be
put in immediate possession of the quantity of land
allotted to each individual free of every charge.—
A special order from Lord Bathurst has been received
in this country, directing that the emigrants shall re-
ceive one year's rations, to commence from the pericid
they take possession of the land, and to be distributed in
proportion to the number of each family. They are also
to be provided with farming utensils, and with one set
of bedding. for each family. We have heard likewise
that a cow is to be added. This mode cannot fail of
producing the good consequences which the t;ovein-
nient is so desirous of effecting. On the arrival of the
emigrants by the steam-boats above-mentioned, fifty
eightcarts and two caleshes were piotured at this place,
to convey them and their baggage to La Chine, on their
way to the township recently laid out, on the south-side
of the Ottawa, or Great River. During the period of
their remaining at La Oise the, word she Gowen-

BANKRUPT coivmnTsp•ro„NEWGATE.

At a Meeting held on Tuesday at the Office of the
Court of Commissioners, in Basinghall-stteer, under u
Commission of Bankrupt, against Perry Plyer'Andrew,
late of Brighton, grocer, the bankrupt was examined to
the following effect:—
By F. Vaster, Esq. one of the Commissioners..DO
you still abide by the items of the account you first de-
livered, of £303 10s. 10K.d. lost between the 11th of
May and 13th of August, by selling 12s.tea at 10s.and
10s. tea.at 9s. and sometimes Bs. and. other articles in
rotation, according to the prices, stating your receipts.
to be about £3O a week, and of £l6O as the expenses
of your family, consisting of nine persons, during the
same period, being at the rate of £l4 to £lB a week
or do you abandon those items, and retract your state-
meot in your last examination, that you had given
money, bard upon Elte,sin.tisio or three 'sovereigns at;
a time, to a woman of the town at Brighton ; and upon
the extravagance of your son, who, you stated, to your
belief, had taken your money without your knowledge,
and spent it? I cannot swear what my loss by under-
'selling amounted to; I can say I lost n:oneyl know; I
think it is true that I have spent £l6O for living, but
there is an error as to the rate; I think l spent about
£ll a week ; and I think I have given nearly £lOO, or
iquitet to women of the town at Brighton ; and I think
my son has taken my money, but to what amount I
know not.—Having stated that you kept an account of,
the expenditure of one week, can you produce that ac-
count? No, 'cannot. I kept no account in writing; I kept
it only in my mind. It came to about £2O every week,
including what I paid for clothes, &c.—State the name
and place of abode of any woman to whom you have
said you gave money ? I do not know their names, or the;
places where they. liveA.—Can you mention any person
to whom you complained of the extravagance of your
son ? I do not know that I did complain to any person.
—Have you any further answer to give to any of those
questions, or any further explanation or account in any
other manner, of the deficiency of your estate? I can-
not recollect. When I left Brighton, I came away with
£350, £250 of which I gave up to the creditors, and
the other £lOO was for myself and family, which I have
given an account of. The whole of my property I left
behind me. I left it in full power of my shopman. The
shop was open a full fortnight after I left; I cannot say
how it was managed. • I. never saw it afterwards; but
I have paid sums.of money away, but to whom I cannot
recollect, not having taken vouchers for them, which is
A farther explanation to account for the deficiency. I
mean that I never saw the shop or the property after I.
left Brighton.
I • The bankrupt having no further explanation to offer
in answer to the questions of the Commissioners, was
the same night committed to Newgate.
