belonging to the ship ltirtial, lying off Lverpool,
going on board from shore, was unfortunately caught
by the ship's hawser, and nye' set, by which a seaman
and three boys were drowned. The mate of the

There was an ex-ratirdinary high tide in the Hum-

the lower parts of bull, on each side of the harbour,
including all High-street, from south to nrrth end,
with the respective crossings to the interior, tie mar.
het-place, Silver-street, Bowl-alley-lane, and Low-
gate, on the north ; and Witham, Drypool, and the
tiolderness coast to the east, were entirely laid under
water. From eight to eleven o'clock those parts were
a complete sea. Higher up to the west, on the
Humber bank, a similar deluge was experienced:
There was also a remarkable high tide at Chatham
tin Friday last, so much so that the Dock-yard was
complety rive:flowed. This was predicted by the
French Astronomer, LAPLACE, according to whose
theory, equally high, and, if favoured by the winds,
much higher tides may be expected upon or near the
succeeding days under-mentioned of the present year •

SLAVE Timm —Our Leaders may remember that
the Buenos Ayies Authorities long since prohibited
this nefarious traffic ; and we have now the pleasthe
to illorm them, that the Zephyr, belonging to the
above Government, on the I.lth of last September,
captured the Spanish schooner, Divina Patrolia, (wheat
a name!) Captain Manuel P,irests, bound from the
Bahia, in the Brazils, to the coast of Alrica, with a
cargo; consisting of bale goods, tobacco, muskets,
swords, &c. for the purchase of negroes.
By the Neptttne, arrived at Beamintrii from Buenos
Ayres, we have received a file of papers up to the
15th of November. The Censor, of 2d of th it month
states, that the Portuguese, preparatory to their attack
on the neighbouring provinces of La Plata, are at-
tempting to pave their way by. intrigues. It appears
their measures in view are rather calculated to rro.
mote the interests of the Court of Brazils than those
of Spain.

well to apply quickly at either of Wellies Odices, 9,

MELANCUOLY CATASTEOPIIE IN ASIERICA..--On the
night of the Ist of January, the dwelling house of
Mr. Henry H. Burwell, of Mecklenburg County,
was consumed by fire, and, lamentable to relate, six
of the family perished in the flames. viz. Miss Mary
Burwell, the eldest daughter of John S. Burwell, Esq.
of Franklin, then on a visit ; the infant child of Mr.
Peyton R. Burwell, who, with his Lady, are now in
Gloucester, and four servant maids. Mrs. Burwell
died on the next day, and Mr. Burwell the day after
of the burns they received in escaping through the de-'
vouring element. The fire *as discovered about,
midnight, which seems to hzve commenced at the
stair-case, and had made such progress as almost to
cut off the possibility of escaping that way. Mr.
Burwell did succeed in passing through the flames
with his wife, but they were so severely burnt as to
sink under the affliction. The family were sleeping
in the second storey. Mrs. Mzrtha Burwell saved
herself by jumping out of an up-stairs window, and
WAS caught by a servant woman—she, fortunately,
received but little injury. Mr. M. Hepburn, also
escaped in the same way and was much bruised. lor-
ttnialely Mrs. Burwell, the elder, and Miss Jane were
hum home. Mr. H. H. Burwell was in the twenty.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 10.
•
MACIPARLAND go. MSC&

This was an action for an alledged infringement of
a Patent for certain Improvements in Umbrellas and
Parasols. The Plaintiff had obtained his Majesty's
Letters Patent for his Improvements, and witnesses
were called to prove, that the Defendant had manu-
factured and sold umbrellas, containing one or more
of the said improvements. Objections were taken to
the validity of the Patent, in as much as the Plaintiff
had embodied in his specification all or many of the
11 parts of the Umbrellas in common use without dis-
tinguishing between these and the parts which be
wished to be considered as improvements.
Lord ELLENBOROL:OII stated, that a Patentee in il-
lustrating his invention, may describe or present
drawings of the machine or instrument which he
Professes to have improved, but that lie is bound to
ascertain what parts be has added, altered, or int•
proved f that he cannot take as new what the public
already possess—that he is bound so t‘i mark his im-
provement that others may be warned of the prohi-
bited ground. and .that t•.e Piaintiff's specification
being defective in these requisites his action could
not be maintained.--Verdict for Defendant.
