I:MA:LAS 20 211 E •CINTIOATO LLOYD'S.

" London, July 18th, 1821 i
" I am directed by the Committee for Managing the Affairs
of Lloyd's, to acquaint you, that they have been in correspond.
Bence with the Committee of the Society of Ship-owner', on a
plan for the purpose of affording assistance to ►essels in distress,
at sea or on the coast : and they intend to recommend by public
notice (copy annexed) to Owners and Masters of ships, that
their vessels should be provided with rockets and blue lights,
and in case of distress, in the first instance to fire a rocket, and
then burn blue lights until relie►ed.
" The Committee of Ship-owners mean to write to the rd.
dais Consuls at ports abroad, soliciting them to endeavour to
procure the adoption of this plan by foreigners; and this Com-
mittee having no doubt that if carried generally into effect, it
will be the means of saving many valuable lives and much pro.
perry, they request that you will give the measure all the pub..
betty in your power, for the information of Owners and .Masters
of vessels, at the boatmen belonging to your port.

" I am your very humble servant,

" The Committee of the Ship-owners' Society, in concurrence

commend in the strongest manner to Owners and Masters of

three dozen blue lights, to be used in the following manner, in
all cases of distress, as the means by which many vessels :tad
lives may be saved, viz.
'• First—A rocket to be fired.

" Secondly—Blue lights to be burned until relieved.

Whilst the LIFFEY lay at Lisbon, the Russian
fri-

vette; put in there from a voyage of discoveries in the
Pacific Ocean, bound to St. Petersburg!). We un•
derstand these ships proceeded nearly in the track of
our great circumnavigator Coox, but got as far as
70. S. having ascertained (which is the principal thing
discalvered) that the land discovered in the licrth
Pacific by Cooic, and called by him Sandwich Land,
is an island of islands.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST 3.
Charles Booth was brought up on his Petition. His
discharge was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf
of Messrs. Barclay, Perkins, and Co.
. .

It appeared by the evidence that the insolvent kept
a public-house at Kennington, belonging to Messrs.
Barclay, for nine years, during which time he paid
them upwards of 1:1200 a-year for beer. In the
mouth of December last he set up an opposition
coach to Wandsworth, by which he lost so much,
that in the month of April he was obliged to transfer
his house to another, on which occasion he received
.C 366 for his stock, furnitute, &c. A clerk from
Messrs. Barclay, agd another from the insolvent's dis-
tiller, were present when the money was paid, expect-
ing to receive it in payment of their repecti‘e
accounts, which the insolvent sL.t2d would not ha. •
left a shilling to any other creditor. To prevent this
disposition of the money, he put it in his pocket the
moment he received it, took French leave, and paid
the whole of it to his other creditors.

Mr. HEATH, for the insolvent, described the con-
duct of brewers and distillers, on occasion of the
transfer of a public-house, as invai iably calculated
to secure themselves, even though all the other cre-
ditors should be left without a shilling. The Learned
Gentleman said that, to his own knowledge, Messrs.
Barclay and Co. who are alike prudent and respect-
able, have an excellent attorney, who keeps his office
in the brewhouse, constantly employed in this busi-
ness ; indeed they have such powerful means of pro-
curing a preference for themselves, that it was by no
means necessary that the Court should exert its au-
thority to punish a debtor who had refused to give
them the preference they sought to obtain at the ex-
pense of all his other creel tors.
The CounT said, in this novel case the brewer and
distiller had certainly been outwitted ; but as they
were evidently seeking a preference for themselves,
they could not justly complain that the insolvent had
given a preference to other creditors who were less
able to bear the loss, and who had probably made
comparatively but little profit by his dealing.—The
insolvent was discharged forthwith.
Jacob Joseph, a J, w, who kept a marine store, wt.s
opposed by his landlord for having made away with
his furniture to avoid paying his rent. The case was
clearly proved, and the insolvent was sentenced to
six months imprisonment.
