ACCOMMODATION TO RiPORTERS.

Mr. OLDHAM moved, that it should be referred to
the Committee of General Purposes to consider what
further accommodation could be made for the -entle-
men who attend that Court to report its proceedings.
In making that accommodation, they would only
imitate the example set them by a very superior
Court, in affording conveniencies to those who had
the arduous duty of reporting its proceedings.
Mr. Hustcostisa _said, there could be no difficulty
in the matter, as only a few seats were wanted, and
he would move that it should be referred to the Com-
mittee to provide seats in such part of the Court as
should be found convenient.

Mr. 1. N. WILLIAMS hoped: that it would only be
referred to the Committee to report on the measure,
whether expedient or not.
Mr. DixoN said, he would oppose the motion.
Mr. A'derman WAITHMAN supported the motion.
After some further observations from Mr. HIM.
comic, the motion was put and carried, there being
but two dissentient votes.

The LORD MAyott, we are sorry to state, continues
in so impaired a state of health, that his medical at-

town every night.
The Governors of Bridewell Hospital gave orders
a short time since, to all the persons occupying the
houses on the north side of the building, to quit, with
a view of enlarging the prison, for the purpose of the
classification of the prisoners, and other internal im-
provements. A corn-mill is to be erected, and no
more oakum is to be picked ; the occupation not being
considered laborious enough. The workmen have
already began to pull down part of the houses.

i-0-ORE'S IRISH MELODIES.

Oki ! the sight entrancing,
Wheu morning's beans is glancing
O'er files, array'd
With helm and blade,
And plumes, in the gay wind danciiig !
1, hen hearts are all high beating,
At:d the trumpet's voice repeating
That song, whose breath
May lead to death,
Til:t never to retreating!
I'4ll the sight entrancing,
V'len morning's beam is glancing
O'er files, array'd
With helm and blade,
And plumes in the gay wind dancing
Yet 'tic not helm or feather—
I or, ask yon despot, whether
His plumed bands
Could bring such hands
And hearts as out's together?
Icave pomp. to those who need 'cm—,
Adorn but man with freedom,
And pnsud he braves
The gaudiest slaves,
That crawl where monarchs lead 'era.
The sword may pierce the beaver,
:atone walls in time may Lever,
'Tit heart alone,
Worth steel and stone,'
That keeps men free for ever!
Oh! that sight entrancing.
'When the morning's beam is glancing
O'er files, array'd
With helm and blade,
And in Freedom's cause advancing !

of Lonjoint expedition approaching the nature of thisi,
but not precisely of the same character, they would
have had an interest. They usually partake of the
grant made by the Crown in such cases. The tenour
of their Charter is, that they shall have all prizes
captured within their own territories:'
Sir WILLIAM SCOTT thought that there was suffi-
cient in the facts alleged to prove (as he understood
it) that this capture vas connected with the reduc-
tion of the Island of Java, and was therefore to be
considered as growing out of the Dutch hostilities of
that period, and out of the attachment of this Orien-
tal Sovereign to the Dutch form of Government.—
This being the case, it was enough to found the juris-
diction of the Court for the purpose that was prayed for.
The Decree was then ordered to issue (specially
worded) for the said condemnation.
SHIP PRINCE REGENT.--(0N PETITION.)
Thiswas a case of particular importance as regards
the liability of freight in cases of bottotnry. The suit
arose upon a bottotnry bond given for monies lent,
and in this bond the article of freight had not been
included ; " ship, freight, and cargo" being usually
hypothecated. Here the ship and cargo were the only
recited securities.
Dr. JENNER shortly stated the facts of the case.
Sir W. SCOTT observed, that the proceedings con-
tained a great deal of irrelevant matter; such as
hearsay conversations, and differences of opinion be-
tween
the petitioners, not to mention a by-battle or I
two between their clerks. He was sure, from the
Learned Counsel, he should receive a just account of
the transaction, without any unnecessary derails.
Dr. JEERER stated, that this vessel was laden with
a cargo of coin from a port in the north of Europe,
destined for England. In the course of her voyage
she encountered a violent storm, which compelled
her to put into a port on the coast of Holland. There
the Captain being under the necessity of raising
money to pay for the repairs of the ship, gave a
bottomry-bond to the parties advancing the money.
:The bottomry-bond was conditioned to be paid in
three days. On the third day an action was entered
into by the holder of the bond against the ship and
cargo. On the 21st of May last, the other defaults
being allowed by this Court, the fourth and last
default was granted by it ; and a decree of perishable
monition ant apvtai,ement issued against the cargo.
Dr. LUSHINOTON, in this case, appeared on behalf
of Mr. Rothschild,who was the holder of the bottomry
bond, and who ought clearly to be paid out of the
ship and cargo. Whether the Court should direct
the freight to be brought in for the purpose of fur-
nishing additional funds, was a matter with which
his client had nothing at all to do. All he looked
for was the payment of his bond.
Dr. ADAMS said that this was an invalid bond, if
it had been taken for a ship and cargo, omitting the
freight. It had been acted on so as to render it ae-
fecttve in validity ; for it could only be valid as a
bond on ship, freight, and cargo.
Dr. JIINNica conceived that the only point here was
