LAW INTITLL MEATS.

COURT OF BMWS BENCH. JULY I.
wnIT or HABEAS CORPUS.
Mr. CAbTURN moved for a writ of Habeas Cor-
pus to be directed to the Captain of his Majesty's
ship the Enchantress, calling on him to bring into
Court the body of Anthony Barrow the younger,
who was Master of a sloop called the Active, trad-
'•ing from Pool to Bristol. It appeared that he was
appointed Master on the 30th May ; that the sloop
sailed from Pool on the 16th,Asf last month, and
that on the 26th the Koster was impressed, and
carried on board the Enchantress, lying near Bristol.
The father of the impressed man went on board the
Enchantress some days ago, and saw his son, who
was desirous of going on shore with his father, but
was prevented, on which he gave instructions to his
father to make for him the present application.
Lord ELLENBOROVeIi asked on what ground the I
present application was made ? Was it solely on the
ground of the person impressed being Master of the i
'sloop—or, had he, as such Master, any power of
exempting'others of his crew ? for this was the
ground on which the Court proceeded last ;Perm ;
holding that a power to exempt others neeessa- I
rily implied a right of exemption in himself,
without which the power to exempt others could
never be exercised. His Lordship wished also to'
know what was the burden of the vessel, and what
the number cfthe men on board ?
Mr. CASPURN said the vessel was 53 tons burden,
and the ground of his application was, that a Mas-
ter of a vessel, as,such, was entitled to be exempted.
Lord ELLENIOROUGII said this did not follow.—
He suspected the mastership, in the present instance,
had grown out of the case. Did the affidavit bear
that the person impressed was bona fide the Master,
and that he had been so before the present period ?
Mr.Ca4eune said the affidavit lore that the person
impressed was really the Master of the sloop ; that
he was appointed in May, and sailed on the 16th'
of June from Pool to Bristol, having previously
signed the bond at the Custom-house, the bill of
lading, &c. The father was the mate of the vessel.
Lord EeeeNaottotrott had no doubt the son had
been put forward here, the father being otherwise
protected. It was too rank a case for the interfe-
rence of the Court.—Rule refused.

MONTHLY 4CRICULTVRAL REPORT.

am.,

The grass is generally down in the vicinity of London, and the
hay harvest proceeding in all the forward parts of the country.
Although a considerable and profitable hulk, the meadow hay
does not equal the general expectation as to quantity ; but pas-
ture lands, and the artificial ge..sscs, were scarcely ever more re-
markable for weight of swathe. l'he grass Is also very forward
on all mowed and cleared grounds.
Wheats are now in high bloom, and although the late told and
changeable weather and h:gh winds have in sonic degree affsettei
their colour, no damage is yet apprehended, and in ten days Sr a
fortnight more the blooming will generally be over In the tinti-
them counties. In some of the cold and wet lands wheat looks
rather sickly, and its recovery will depend entirely tea the state
of the weather during the next two or three weeks.
'limy talk of too great a bulk of straw upon inferior lands, for
the crop to be very productive on such, but the warm and good
lands are of the highest promise. 'I he growth of spring wheat is
full as considerable as last year.
The Spring crops promise a general abundance, with the excep-
tion of some barleys and oats, which have been blighted, probably,
as well by the lightning as the chills and variable weather. Peas
and beans will be a full crop ; potatoes an extraordinary one. It
is said the potatoe crop in Lancashire has been for several years
overdone, much undrained and improper land being applied to
that ptirpose, to the great deterioration of the quality of the Lan-
cashire root. Hops will be an universal crop, and fruit most
abundant. Some little damage has been done to the rutaboga, by
the slug or fly. English turnips will be rather a late season. The
lands work admirably.
Fat beef uncommonly dear—store cattle somewhat cheaper,
the grass going off.
In Ireland and Wales, the seasons have been wet, cold, and
Vackward, probably near a month behind the southern parts of
England. In Prance, and generally upon the Continent, eke pre-
sent, it is said, will be the most productive year of the last ten.

• FASHIONS FOR JUL r.

FROM IA BELLE ASSIEMBLEE OF THE PRESENT
MONTH.
OPERA DR Es s.—A blue satin robe, wore ever a slip of white
satin, Jet in a: the bosons and tdeeves (which are short), with silver
Moravian net-work. A tunic of.Pgyptian brown sarsnet or crape,
confined on the shoulders with diamond studs, and trimmed round
the bottom with silver net, separated in small divi-ions by spangled
open work balls. A chaplet wreath of green foil, ;laced twice
round the hair, which is disposed in long irregular riuglets. Ear-
rings of silver open work, studded with brilli.uda, resemblirg in
form the bell of a child's coral. Shot bof brown satin, bound zi.d
sandalled with silver braiding. I.ong gloves of white k.d.
WALKING DR ESS —A rousul rube of white jacconot muslin,
with a boddice of violet moaner' trimmed with rich silk Bran-
denburgs of Austrian green, a half pelisse of fine transparent
muslin, with bishop's sleeves, fancifully tied with green
rib-
band. A Hymen hat of purple brocaded ribband and lace, or-
namented with a green military plume; a Chinese parallel of
purple sarsnet, shot with green ; gloves and shoes of York tan.
GENERAL. OBSERVATIONS—MusIin pelisses, lined with pink,
blue or yellow sarsnet, are still very prevailing, as are spencers of
like colours; lace warts alone seem to have the preference, either
lin black or white lace : mantled' are by uo means considered as
nelegant. Satin tippets, trimmed with lace, are very becoming
to a light figure. White satin spencers, mantles, and pelisses are
in a high degree of estimation. Small cape formed of brocaded
ribband, finished with a long rosette in front, edged with lace
pearl, or in the long Mango shape, intersected with white gymp,
with a cord and tassels suspended from one side ; and caps in evLry
fanciful intermixture of satin or ribbband, ornamented with os-
trich feathers; they are made flat on the head, raised from the
forehead, and in the long Grecian shape.
Flowers were not at all worn at the Prince's Fete, cords and
tassels terminated the draperies, and gave an air of graceful negli-
gence to the figure; feathers were umversal, much of the Spanish
costume prevailed; the sleeves were worn very short, the bo-
soms very the backs rather high, trains of a moderate length.
The tunic in crape or lace, embroidered iu silver, was displayed
upon almost every female of rank and taste. All lace worn cal
this magnificent occasion was of the manufacture of tins country,
a noble example, which we hope will be universally followed in
all ranks of life. Honiton lace, as most resembling 'Brussels
point, held the preference.
The ornaments in jewellery were either of diamonds, pearls,
rubies, sapphires, or emeralds. The prevailing colours, pink, blue,
yellow, and buff.
