It appears by letters recently received from our
ships of war in the West Indies, that a fever has pre-
vailed on board some of them, peculiarly fatal in its
nature to those attacked by it. Among other vessels
the SCAMANDER, it is said, has lost six Officers, in.
eluding the surgeon, four Midshipmen, and two
clerks. The CHILDERS, in the short period of a month,
has been deprived of several Officers by the same
unfortunate cause, besides five Pursers successively
appointed to her, and upwards of 30 men.
In consequence of the PRINCE REGENT'S recent al-
terations in the efitablishment of the Royal Marine
Artillery and Marines, as stated in yesterday's STAR,
each Division will be reduced two companies, and the
Orficers remaio on full pay until called into actual
service. A separate Division of Marine Artillery is
to be established, to consist of eight companies, which
are expected to be stationed at Deal, and the Hospital
there will most likely be converted into Barracks.—
The present establishment of Marine Artillery is only
four companies. This arrangement will make a re-
duction of four companies in the present Marine force.
A f urtiter reduction of seven Quartermen will take
place this month at Portsmouth Dock-yard, from
among those not confirmed as regular Quartermen.

THE GRAND belt

On Thursday the LORti PRoitiitr and Magistrates'
of Edinburgh proceeded in full state to the Royal
Hotel, the residmice of the Grand buke NiccHoLAs,,
in order to present him with the freedom of the City,
which was voted to him on the preceding day. The
LORD PROVOST, on presenting the diploma of flee.
dom, addressed his HIGHNESS in a very atitrnated
speech. Baron Nretiotav on the part of his High-
ness (who is not sufficiently acquainted with the Eag-
lish language to speak in it himself) made a suitable
reply. In the afternoon the LORD PROVAsY gave a
splendid entertainment at his house to the GRAND
DUKE and his suite and many of the Nobility and
other characters of distinction. After dinner, on the
LORD Pnovorr proposing 16 the Health of the Em-
peror ALREANDIER," the following spirited Verses,
composed for the occasion, were sung by the Band to
HAYDN'S celebrated air, " Goo. save the Emperor

" The health of the Prince Regent."
" The health of the Grand Duke" was next given,
to which kis Highness replied, by proposing The
prosperity of the City ot Edinburgh," of which he
was now A Citizen. Alter several other toasts illus-
trative of tie occasion, the company retired to the
drawing-room, and after conversing for a short times
the Grand Duke and his suite withdrew.

The CRoWN PRINCE of SWEDEN has sent a favourite
officer, General MoERNER, to his Majesty the King
of PRussiA, to ask the hand of the Princess FluEn
WILHELSIINA ALF.SANDRINA, ror his son, Prince Os-
caa. This alliance between Prussia and Sweden
would form an interesting political counterpoise
against the striding power of Russia. But the Prin-
cess is said to be affi inced to Prince Nicholas of
Russia, now in England.

Brandon Hill, in the nei:;lthourhood of alit city, t,,
con:idea, their present distresses: A great many Gen-
tlemen have already been sworn its as extra con-
Stables to act, if necessity shoed require it. At pre-
sent there is but one Company of the 25.1 i Regiment
in the neighbriurhood.
Amongst the retrenchments carrying into present
effect are various ?Auctions in nearly all the Public
Offices, chiefly consisting of persons in subordinate
situations.—At the Ordnance Office five or six Mes-
sengers are to be di.charged.— At the Navy Office
the savings are to consist of a reduction in the num-
ber of junior clerks.—At the Victualling Office, 12
junior clerks ate to be, or have been already, dis-
charged, some of whom had been employed there five
years, and none of them had salaries exceeding £llO
4 year. The alteration commences on the Ist inst.
It is stated that a tax of ten per cent. an the salaries
of all persons holding offices under Government is
intended to be proposed by some friend of economy
in the approaching Session of Parliament.

Sunday se'nnight a person, supposed to be young
Watson, was observed in Dundee. A diligent search
was, of course, instantly made ; but if such a person
actually was in town, he had contrived to elude dis-
covery. In the course of the search, however, a
`stranger of rather a suspicious appearance was disco-
vered in a lodging-house, and apprehended, early
in the morning. He was afterwards examined before
the Sheriff, and the account he gave of himself not
being thought satisfactory, and there being good reason
to suspect that he had been concerned in the late riots
in the Metropolis, a report of the precognition was that
night sent off to the proper authorities iu London,
and the man delivered over to the custody of
a Messenger, till further orders should be received
as to his disposal. He is a stout good looking fel-
low, about 30 years of age, and calls himself Robert
Johnston. He acknowledges he was in London at
the time of the late riots—that in coming from
Mark-lane he passed the rioturs at the Minortes, but
did not join them. His right arm has the appear-
ance of being much bruised from the wrist to the
elbow ; this heattributes to a sprain received 9 months
ago in playing at quoits. He says he has a brother
in the 43d regiment, and that he came to Dundee for
the purpose of purchasing grain; but although he is
a perfect stranger in Scotland, he has brought with
him no letters of introduction or credit, and hide
more money than would be sufficient to defray his
travelling expenses.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECk4BEit
BRIDOg ti.' *AVirt.
In 1815, the plaintiff was Captain of the East taz
dia ship the Princess Amelia, with *hods the defen-
dant, a cloth-seller in the Minories, entered into an
engagement for the soppiy of totirteen bales of scarlet
cuttings, at ss. 2i.1. per lb. It was *Hedged in the
declaration; that (~e defendant undertook that the
scarlet cuttings shotild be good and merchantable,
whereas they turned out to be bad and unmerchant-
able.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in stating the plaintiff':
case, observed, that it was not generally !clown that
a considerable trade was annually carried on with
China in *hat were called scarlet cuttings, or the
cuttings of scarlet cloth. To what purpose the Chi-
nese employed theta was not of flinch consequenSe,
but he believed they ..wre chiefly converted into or-
naments, or wh it e..,:te in old fashioned tim ,s called
pockets, for which the modish term ridicule !tad now
generally been substituted hi this cnuntry ; he sup.
posed, however, that the Chinese, who were a sensible
alliewd people, had not imitated us hi this innovation,
but that they still res:reed their good old words,
without any deprived admixture of foreign afr;cta-
tions. The plaintiffbeing first Wiser of the Princess
Amelia, which was ahout to proceed to Canton, was de.
sirous that A past of !its e.a men' sbould be composed
of scarlet cuttings, which being sold in the markets of
China, produced
arniey with which he made his par.
Chases for another investment ~n !:is return voyage.—.
The success of this adventure 114,1, however, been :4:-
terfered with most impartintly by the delendant, who
had agreed to supply him with a commodity fit for
the purpose ; and instead of fultiliing his engage-
ment, had furnished an article ‘,l about half the
value. In contracts of this kind, every thing depen-
ded upon the good faith of the seller; for he was to
procure them to be packed into bales by strong pies.
sure, that they might occupy as little room as possi.
ble, and it they were afterwards opened by the pur-
chaser for the purpose of ascertaining the quality,
that object would he defeated. The 14 bales having
been shipped, the plaintiff proceeded to China, where
they were landed; but upon exposing theist for sale
among other goods of the same kind conveyed by
other ships, he found to his astonishment, that instead
of seatlet cuttings, consisting of pieces of cloth
cable to the purposes of the natives, the defendant
had packed up for him mere shreds and patches,
strings and clippiags, fit for no use whatever, inter.
mixed with large quantities of list, and even many
pieces of serge to make up the quantity. The conse.
criettee was, that for a irked (a Chinese weight of
133i1b. English), the plaintiff only obtained 80 doh
lars, while his c ,mpetitors received exactly double
that price. Th,, loss the plaintiff had suffered
amounted to £5'23; but the Jury would also take
into account the special damage he had sustained in
the disappointment 01 his home adventure, in conse-
quence ut not procuring an adequate sum for the
scat let cuttings. The amount be Oad paid to the de-
fendant was 5904. 3s. 2d.
Several Pursers of Et.t-India ships, who had been
present at the opening of some of the baits; deposed
to the bad quality of the scarlet-cuttings, and to the
low price they ilitained at Cotton. :.s.:9rno samples
of .SIIIIiidT rankly,, but not of the identice.l goods,
wme pre:.ented to the Jury. The witilesst s proved,
that the v..iirds a scarlet cuttings" meant cuttings of
cloth, without list, of reasonable dimensions, and not
cuttings of serge, many of which wen: mixed in the
bales made op by the ilefendaia.
Mr. SCARLET'', for the defendant, in the first place,
submitted, that the plaintiff mutt be nonsuited, hav-
ing declared in all the coonts upon a special war.
raiity, that the scarlet cuttings should be good and
merchantable, whereas no evidence of such a war-
ranty had been offered.
Mr. CAMPBELL, however, who was with the Attor-
ney-General, referred his Lordship to the sixth count,
which did not aver a warranty, but only alleged that
the scarlet cuttings were of no use or value.
Mr. SCARLET? then addressed the Jury, complain-
ing that the plaintiff had not dealt fairly by the de-
fendant in selling all the cuttings at Canton, at his
own price, and then calling upon the defendant to
make up the difference of what he had expected to re.
ceive: he had preserved no sample of the bad or of
the good parts of the bales, and put his opponent
entirely at the mercy of the witnesses, who only spoke
from recollection. He then called several witnesses
who assisted in packing the bales, and who swore that
the samples produced to the Jury by no means gave
a fair representation of the bales. They admitted
that a few shreds might have been included in them ;
but they were in general large pieces, such as were
usually exported. A few pieces of serge might also
have hound their way into the great bodyof cutting!.
A Mr. Spilier, a press-packet, who had finally pre.
pated the bales, deposed, that be saw the outsides of
several, and thought them better than any he had be-
fine packed. Fle confessed that lie did not examire the
interior vim(' the speitnena being handed to him,
hs picked 'Rut many mecca that he
,thought did not
propetly come dirder . the denoMination of scarlet
cuttings.
Lord Eeeeesonnuote recommended, that in order
to ascertain the precise amount of damage, the par-
ties should be examined upon oath ; and he also ex-
pressed an opinion, that by reference more satisfac-
tory justice could be obtained; but, after some dis-
cussion, the parties could not agree, and a verdict
was found for the plaintiff,

There was tome inaccuracy in the statement which
appeared in our Paper of yesterday se'nnight,
tive to the labouring poor of Kensington, employed
by Lord HOLLAND. The fact was, that his Lord.
ship's proposal to the Committee of the Kensington
Association for alleviating the Distresses of the In-
dustrious and Labouring Poor, resident in that pa.
rish was, to give employment to twenty poor men,
in preference to subscribing a sum of money to be
distributed, and to continue that employ for two
months, or three, if the inclemency of the season
should require, at a fixed price per client', with liberty
for them to leave their undertaking, should opportu.
nity offer a higher rate of wages to them. His Lord.
ship bad axed on and appointed six of the twenty be.
fore the Committee could recommend any ; and it
was not until the morning of yesterday se'nnight that
the remaining fourteen could be appointed and com-
mence their work ; and not one of the twenty have
Isrusk from a single hour of their duty.

the part of theyrosectnion. Mr. ustER. appeared,
C
for 'lire, and Mr. CANI4OII fHoor Preston. Tee
pace, es on the former' occasions, was greatly
crowded.
The LORO• MAYOR having intimated that Mr.
Beckwith's evidence should be taken; in'order to his
retiring to send hit servants to the justice Itoom,that
Gentleman deposed as follows:
On the mornaog of the. '2d at December I was
from home. Upon my return I found that my win.
dows had been broken, my house otherwise forcibly
entered, and plundered of fine-arms, &c. to the
amount of Ael,vo and upwalds.l have win tlh.

but cannot swear it to be my prowl.
with Gamble I can swear to.•••It Was in my house in
the matting of the day of the riots, and was one ut
those taken out.
Here Mr. Nobler stated that Goff, who had takeu
Gamble into custody, bad already sworn to and
signed his depositions.
The LORD MAYOR acquainted Mr. BrCkW, that
fie had within these few days received five suns and
some very valuable pistols.which his Lordship wished
bite to inspect, as they might turn out to be his
propel ty.
James Carter was then put to the bar.
The Loan MAYOR—" Your case DAN you were
last here has been well considered. You have been
guilty of an offence in joining the rioters, on the 941
of December, and even by your own confession were
active on that day among the moth Your conduct.
therefore, merited some degree of punishment, and
this you have had by 113411SODDIent from that time.

that YAWS yon are in liquor you are Of
men; and althotigh this in itself is unpardonable. it
throws a fair doubt upon your conduct as to being a
determined rioter. It is also favourable that no arms
were found in your possession, and that you were
rather behind the mob. But it shnuld not be omitted
that you used on that day very improper expressions,
and confessed you le.tal carried the flag. It, theretnre,
you will drink, and cannot govern 7..ur temper, you

again. You are now discharged."

on the 4d of December instant. •
Samuel Levi, of No. 3, Garden-place-4 stinted
in securing the prisoner, and kept him in custody the

.=
The Loan Maron—The .evidence against Tn. is
.
of a very strong and:Anserent nature.
The Prisoner was fully committed for trial.
Viewer Prestos, the Secretary, was next httrOdlleed
to the bar.
Mr. Convoy—ln consequence of the humane sug-
ration of your Lordship. at the last examination of
the Prisoner, 1 attend here to do as his adviser ; and
knowing him to be an infatuated man, and likely to
be making a lung address to the Court, in the event
of his commitment, I have prevailed on him to suf.
far Me to act for him. I now, therefore, humbly
sabmit to your Lordship, that there is no evidence
of a felonious nature yet produced against him ;
and from what I haveken, he appears to have been
merely watching the operations of the mob on the
Jay of the riots. The Gentleman (Mr. Dowling)
who has before
in given his. testimony, merely states,
that he saw hima waggon at Spa-fields ; and Km-
nersiey, the Officer, alsolpeaks of him as one among
else crowd in the Minories, but charges him with 0•
particular act.
• The Lotto MAYott.—His taw has undergone the
most mature consideration, and from all the evi-
dence before me, I feel it my duty to hold him to
hail, to abide:lds trial for a misdemeanor, namely,
that of being concerned with others in a riot. The,
City Solicitor must have twenty-tour hours notice of
the bail.
The Prisoner—l hope it will not offend your
Lordship, it 1 repeat the assertion, that my conduct
throughout this business is what it should be— In-
dependent. Indeed. I think now, that were 1 to
look round this crowded Court, I could find those
who would bail me at once—men who admire my

firmness.
The LORD MATOBIit is imperative that the City
Solicitor should have the notice I state. The bail
must be respectable.
The Prisoner bowed, and withdrew, in mod),
but not tiU be had first heartily shaken Hooper
b.
the hand.
Hooper. the Treasurer, was next examined, and
a recapitulation made of the evidence given on the
former dap against him.
The LORD MAYOR..--YoOf case also, Hooper, has
been impartially"anti carefully considered. You were
not only found among the mob, but yon were also
in possession of a loaded pistol, at a time when an
armed assembly was firing among the inhabitants.—
T'iere are certainly shades of difference in your offence
and that of Preston's. He was neither found, nor
seen with arms. You will, however, be tried for the
offence, and of course it is. like his, bailable, upon
igiving proper notice to the City Solicitor.
The Priv net was removed, in custody.
Richard Simmonds (the man of colour) was the next
Prisoner pin to the bar.
The LORD MAYOR—You were found, Simmonds,
with a drawn sword among a body of rioters, and
making an attack upon a soldier. Fortunately for
you the man whom you cut at cannot identify you,
And the sword taken from you has been mixed with
others, so that it cannot he particularly selected.—
Were it not for these two circumstances you wo,iit!,
no doubt, have been put upon trial for a capital oi-
fence, and your life would be at stake. You may
therefore find bail to abide your trial at the Sesus us.
The Prisoner was also removed from the bar, in
custody.
Gousell (the drayman) was the last Pri.l
stoner examined, when the following new evidence
was produced against him s
William W •oldridge —1 am a chimney-sweeper,
and live in Fentherstone.street. On the 24.1 of De:
cember I was coming from Walborn, up Skinner-
street, when I saw a great mob, apart of which was
composed of sailors and 'Wessels. servants. They
went into Mr. Beckwiih's shop several times, aid I
saw the Prisoner among. them with "a doublehar-
relied gun. Ike was trying to fire and break th•
windows. I afterwards saw him on the lett hand
side of the Minories, with a ainskrt. 1 knew him
when he was at the house of Messrs. Calvert. I saw
him the morning alter the tint, and spike to him up-
on the subject, when he begged I would say nothing
of it to others.— Cho Prisoner here exclaimed—" Oh, ,
