The Pamcs REGENT has been pleased, in the name
sr.i on the behalf of his MAJESTY, to approve and
cc-Errm the finding and sentence of the Court.
His Royal Highness taking into consideration,
'soccer, that, although the insubordination which
his marked the conduct of the prisoners, by having
in a manner conspired to subvert the °ran and ar-
r9ements of their Commanding Officer, appears to
jasffy the sentence of the Court, yet a reference to
their exemplary characters, and to the recommenda-
tion of the Court in their behalf, and in that of Cap-
t.= !done in particular, •appearing to sanction the
exercise of a lesions slisposition, in mitigation of their
ounce, his Royal Highness has been most graciously
pp rised to command that Captain Molnar., in whqse'

Friday a meeting took place near Sligo, between
P—ass, Esq. and 11...—D C-w.•--11S, Esq. The
pa:ties discharged three pistols each, when they left,
the ground, fortunately without receiving any injury.
From the frequent advertisements for seats " in a
certain Assembly," and the number of candidates for
independent Boroughs, there is every reason to believe
that the monied interest will be fully represented in
the next Parliament.

The history of the late Mr. ROSE'S latter progress
in office mast be in the memory of nearlyidl our
Readers. His first public situation was that of junior
Clerk in the office of the Keeper of the Records, at a
very small salary.

It is reported that the Right Honourable CHARLES
ARNMINOT will doubtless succeed to the Treasur-
sl.,ip of the Navy, either imlnediately, or as soon as a
proper sucoessor can be found for his present office.
On New-Year's-Day, the Rev. G. BARING gave to
ror in Exeter, 600 loaves of bread, and 800 lbs.
bet, which were distributed impartially to those who
cure properly recommended, as objects of want.
Mellon. Mr. EARDLEY, last week, distributed tol
shove 100 families of the labouring poor of the parish
o F,riffi, in Kent, a liberal supply of shoes, stockings,
ad other clothing ; a most seasonable assistance at
this time of the year, and which must be most grate-
:❑lly felt.

As it may be supposed that the Leek, the ancient
appendage to the honours of the Principality, will be
:.ntrodiiced (with his Royal Highness the Prince of
INAtes's Feathers) in the new NN elch Order, as alto
trie Red Dragon, the favourite ensign ofCADWALLA-
L'FP., with other appropriate insignia, a ribbon of a
t'Serent colour from those of the Garter, Thistle, Bath
and S.t. Patrick, will be ordained. A white one edged
with green, would be consonant and expressive of the
rolotirs of the highly honoured Leek, and will not in-
terere with the other Orders of Knighthood.
ROYAL Hurr.—On Monday morning, about ten
ffs:,,ck, a fine deer was turned out, near Slough, at-
:bided by a numerous held of gentlemen sportsmen.
:?ie deer showed great sport, takings across the inclo-
sures towards Stoke, Dropmore-hill, and Hensor,
taking down the hill towards Cookham, where he
crossed the 'Thames ; by this time very few Sports-
men were up :--taking towards Maidenhead, where
he crossed the Thames a second time, into Bucking-
hamshire. The deer was taken by Dawney Common,
near Eton, after a run of near 3 hours.

Baturdr.y, Mr. ELLIOTT, of Lenham, having marked
tan snipes in a'pond at that place, was about to fire
at them, when they rose on the wing, joined by two
others ; at ',Villa he immediately fired, and killed the
whole ; diva dropping instantly into' he poad, and
firth fang at a short distatte.

•Tl4ja was ari action forsnoney paid and expended
by the plaintiffs for the use and On =Own of the de-
fendants. The plaintiffs are merchants at Cork, in
Ireland. The defendant is a merchant in London,
and one of the present Members in Parliament for
the county of Middlesex. The action, which was
for 40001. was brought to recover that sum from the
defendant, as having been expended by his direction
under the following circumstances:
The Eliza, an American vessel, Captain Hill, from
Charleston, laden with American produce, bound
for London, and consigned to Messrs. Mellish and
Co. was stranded in a gale near Crookhaven, on the
Irish coast, and unable to proceed on her voyage to
London. The Captain himself went to Cork, and
communicated his situation to the plaintiffs, as cor-
respondents of the defendants, and consultet them
whether he should endeavour, with temporary te-1
pairs, to steer the vessel to Cove, in order there to
take out her cargo, and have her thoroughly re-
paired, to complete her voyage to London. The
plaintiffs wrote to the house of Mellish and Co. Lon-'
don, for their instructions how to proceed, stating, at
the same time, the great expense and inconvenience,
that must arise, from an attempt to repair the vessel
at Cove, where there was no dry dock, where the
ship must be hauled on the beach, and the cargo
being landed, must either remain on the shore, liable
to great damage and loss, or be conveyed to Cork
for safety, at very considerable expense. The house
of Mellish and Co. in answer, expressed a wish that
the vessel might proceed, if possible, to Bcrurdeaux,
rather than to Cove, under such circumstances. A
correspondence took place, in which, after it was
agreed that the vessel should proceed to Cove, and
there take her repairs, the plaintiffs stated the heaiy
expense that must inevitably attend the repairs of the
vessel in that harbour, and the great delay that must
occur in the operation, before the ship, which was
very old and in a shattered condition, could be made
sea worthy ; and expressing a desire, that if the re-
pairs were to be .proceeded upon, the defendants
would send over some skilful and confidential person
of their own appointing from London, to superintend
dr work, and guard against unnecessary expenses in
repairs not actually necessary. An alternative war
also proposed of disposing of the cargo there, though
at very disadvantageous prices, and fitting up the
ship to carry passengers to America, as at that
juncture the emigration from the South of Ireland
was very great ; adding, that if the vessel was to be
offered for sale at Cork, she would be purchased only
for the purpose of breaking her up. But Messrs.
Mellish and Co. directed that the repairs should pro-
ceed, declining to send any person from London to,
superintend the work, expressing full reliance on the,
attention and vigilance of the plaintiffs, to have die
work done with every attention to strict economy.—
The plaintiffs accordingly had the cargo taken out,
and the vessel surveyed by skilful persons, and an
estimate formed of the expense at 36001. But this
expense was, by other sums advanced to the Cap-
tam, expenses of victualling the crew, and different
contingencies, swelled to 49001. This sum, aav so,
much exceeding the estimate, the defendants refused
' to pay, without the verdict of a Court of Law, sus-
tained upon proofs of the expenditure.
After hearing the arguments and evidence adduced
on both sides,
Lord ELLENDPROUGH was of opinions that nothing
could be fiirer than the conduct of the plaintiffs in
the proceedings they had adopted in the whole course
of this business. That the letters from the house of

the defendant fully authorised them to proceed with
the repairs, after an estimate of the probable ez-1
pense ; and certainly entitled the plaintiffs to a ver-
dict. But in order to a fuller investigation of the
charge, recommended that the whole subject night
be referred to a skilful arbitration, ta whom all tie
evidence should be submitted. .

Verdict for the plaintiff—subject to arbitration.
