NORTHERN EN PEDITION.

Letters have been received from Officers on board
the ships destined for the Arctic Expedition, dated
May 2, at Lerwick, in the Shetland Isles. The brig
which accompanied the DOROTHEA, is stated to have
been hauled on shore, having made more water than
they could wish. The Officers and men were in
health and spirits, and anxious to get clear or Side
British ports. They are to touch at Spitzbergen.

A Mail from Hamburgh contains the following
accounts of most dreadful and destructive fires at the
favourite Palace of the King of Saxony, on the Elbe;
also at Copenhagen, at Constantinople, and in Pome-
rania, and Silesia:
DILUDIN, Mae 3 —On the ist of May, at two o'clock, the
favourite summer residence of our King, the Castle of Pilnita,
on the Elbe, celebrated for its beautiful situation, was burnt
down. On account of the distance. it was some time before
much assistance could be afforded from this city; and thus, in'
four hours, what was called the Old Castle, the Opera House,''
the Brewery, &c. were destroyed. Nothing has been saved.
All the state furniture of the Palace Is burnt, as well as the 'Gal-
lery of Pictures, containing portraits of the ancestors of the
Saxon Family, numerous and venerable by their excellence and
age; the Temple of Venus, in which were the well painted por-
traits of all the mistresses of a former Saxon Prince; all the
furniture and paintings of the Chapel are also burnt ; among the
latter, the Altar-piece is particularly regretted. It was a master-
piece of I.rcas Castacu, the contemporary and friend of Luxus&
The Opera House was destined only to representations for the
Court. The decorations are said to have been very beautiful. and
the wardrobe magnificent; all is lost. Nothing certain is known
of the origin of this misfortune. No lives were lost.
PMERANLA, May R•-•01:1 the 341 inn. SS houses were burnt
down in the night, at Gollnow. Above 100 families hate saved
only their lives from the Games. On the Ist a similar misfit;
tune at Rankest, in Siksia, reduced 30 families to misery.
• Corannacra. Mar 12.--. This afternoon a dreadful fire broke
out in the Square of the Garrison, which has already reduced
several buildings to ashes, and at the later departure of these
accounts still raged, and on account of the high wind is not
easily to be extinguished. It is said to have been caused by the
carelessness of the painters in boiling oil.
Coerrawnsorte, Aram 10.—About a week ago the unfortu-
nate family of the deceased Marto, (the widow is a Princess
Appoilanti) perished in the most dreadful manner in the flames.
Their great house at Terapia suddenly was is flames on all the
four sides at once. The fire spread so rapidly that none of the
family could escape, and the mother and son, three women,
eight children, and four servants, perished in the dames. It
was only by the greatest exertions that the Palace of the French
Embassy was saved. It is generally believed that it was wil-
fully set on fire.
To SAVE IS T Gnm.—Those who delayed to buy
Tickets and Shares in the last Lottery, had to pay 901.
for a Ticket and 40s. for a Sixteenth, yet then there
were only 100 Capitals, and 18,000 Tickets. Now
there are 107 Capitals and only 14,000 Tickets, and
the price, at present, is 191. for a Ticket, and 275.
a Sixteenth. That they will not be lower is certain—
' that they will be higher is certain—that those who de-
lay to buy will pay more is certain—that these who
do not buy cannot get a Capital Prize is certain—that
the first 20 Prizes drawn on the King's Birth-day will
be all Capitals is certain—and that the Reader may
Fet one of the Three Twenty Thousands, if be buys
immediately, is sin certain.

COURT OP CHANCERY, MAY

The Loan CHANCELLOR this morning _
Fittings in Lincoln's bin Hall. He was occupied:h.
greater part of the morning in hearing the case
Lord Stewart and Lady Emily Vane Tempest, i 4
private room. The case was chiefly respecvr._ :..e
proposals of marriage to be submitted to the Maser.,
The minutes of the proposals were, after WON &S.'
cussion, agreed to.
At half-past ten, his Lordship came into Court.
The only case of importance was that of a lunatic,
named Caple, who, at the age cf ;2, married a
young woman of the age of 29, and had since be.
come a lunatic! It appeased the parties had lees
married about five years, and have two children, the
youngest only one month old I—The motion wasocbe.
ther ale wife should have the custody of the lunatic,
or whether he should be continued under tae same
guardians as before his nuptial.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took an a',.le view of the
case, and declared his regret that lunatic
were so little attended to by the Counsel and Solici.
tors. This was not the only case in which he had a
similar complaint to make, and he was determine,; is
future to make the expense of non-attendance fall
upon the Solicitors, but not upon the suitors. In the
present case he refused the wife to have any care sf
her husband, and dismissed the petition.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY
WDOUGALL V. WATKINS.

This was an action to recover 221. 15s. for goods
furnished to the defendant's wife. The defence set
up was, that the goods were furnished unknown to
the husband, and that they were not suited to the de-
fendant's condition. The plaintiff was a linen-draper
in Bond-street ; the defendant an attorney's cleik.—
He married on the 4th of June last, and between that
time and November the articles in question, consist-
ing of callico, diaper, Lornbaxeen, a silk gown, s a
handkerchief, &c. &c. were furnished. The delivery
of the goods was proved, aid also that they were fur-
nished at a reasonable price. Mrs. Watkins's mother
was called, who stated that she was present when the
articles were furnished to her daughter. The plain-
tiff did not press any thing on her daughter; he only
said she had better take them now, as hereafter per-
haps her husband would grumble at havieg to pay
for them. An embroidered shawl he took back, en
the witness observing it was too expensive an arnie
for her daughter. The red silk gown the witness also
objected to ; it was charged two guineas, but her
daughter said, she was Watkins's wife, and would
have a silk gown. The witness thought Watkins hal
a right to expect to find her daughter with such
things as these, for when he was courting her witness
I told him that she was very extravagant, and a very
bad temper ; he had, however, married her, notwith-
standing, aid they quarrelled soon afterwards.
Lord Ettxtesoaouom put it to the defendant's
Counsel to consider whether he could get rid of the
whole demand ; the callico and towelling were cer-
tainly necessaries.
Mr. SCARLYTT said, he felt the force of his Lord-
ship's observation, and it was agreed that a verdit:
should be taken for the plaintiff for 41. 16s. 6d.

Tosns-Hau., Soctsrvreux.--sTaise Mott was charged with
