The following particulars of the loss of the Ho-
nourable East 'lndia Company's ship Cabalva are
from a young officer, who was an eye-witness of the
melancholy affair, and deeply partook of the suffer-
ings of the unfortunate crew, as communicated by
letter to his friend, a gentleman of Lewes :
" The commencement of oar misfortunes may be dated from
the ship's striking three times upon the Hove Rock, off Brighton.
For the first hour after the shock, we made but little water;
but the leak shortly gainA upon us at least nine inches per hour,
.and daily increasing, it west neczs airy to keep the pumps cun-
Kandy going from the Isle of Wight. In a short time the crew
4rontluied, which however was quelled by the-example of punish-
seem on a few individuals. We at length arrived at the Cape
of Good Hope in a tremendous gale, when in the night of the
ii-Jd of June, the leak suddenly increased to two feet per hour;
every pump on board was now in constant action, and we hourly
'expected to founder; here Captain Dalrymple determined to
liner up for Bombay, and dock the ship, when at four o'clock
s. m. we struck upon the rock off the small uninhabited island,
Or rather sand bank of Catgados, while ruining at the rate of
-eaglet knots and a half an hour. It then being very dark, we of
course expected every moment would bare been our last. We
all jumped out of bed in,our shirts, not having time to think of
saving any other article. Poor Captain Dalrymple went down
by my side; I was also under water, but a seaman caught nus
by the hair of my.head, and by that means saved me. ti ft the
wreck about twelve o'clock, when the water had risen to the
asn hatchway, which bending very much, we expected every.
osorneut would burst up. After the first shock we cut our main
and fore toasts away; a sea soon cleared the mizen, which wens
by the'board at one dash; the scene was then truly dreadful,
beyond de.sripdon, some with broken arms, legs, or heads; in
short, some wounded in a manner too shocking to relate.—
I fhrtunately, with others, was thrown upon a reef of coral
rocks ; and in this state, with a shirt on only, had we to wade
over pointed rocks, to gain the Island, in doing which our
feet were literally cut to pieces. Besides our Captain, we lust
our Surgeon's Mate, who did all he could to cheer me up,
by assuring me he was a good swimmer, and could save him-
self and me; but he, alas! poor fellow, perished. We scratch-
ed a hole with our fingers in the sand, and buried him, as did
we our unfortunate comrades all; some half in and half out the
rock were covered with pieces of wreck. Providentially,
some sheep, pigs, a few barrels of beer, ticc. were washed
ashore, and each man was allowanced to two ounces per day.—
We now constructed a sort of tent, where every high tide washed
over our sleeping-place. After being'en shore a week, we crus.

AMERICAN NON-INTERCOUitSE ACT.— (From Ike
*Norfolk Herald, October 2d.)—The law which closes
the ports of the United States against vessels coining
direct from the British West-India Islands, went into
qperation yesterday. Within the last three weeks this
port has been crowded with such vessels, availing
themselves of the little time that remained to take
away cargoes of our produce. Some of these have
sailed, and probably, ere this; have made a good:
offing ; others have pot to sea, but owing to the
north-easterly gale that is now prevailing, must have
been compelled to put back, while others, though
ready for sea, have not been able to get out owing
to head winds. The orders from the Secretary of the
Treasury do not leave it discretionary with the Col-
lector to permit the sailing of vessels tiller the Ist of
October, who have loaded and cleared for the British'
Islands before that day: in consequence of which the
most unheard of exertions were made to expedite
those vessels which arrived at the eleventh hour.
Of the expedition with which they have been ult.
loaded and laden again, an instance was given in'
our last, and another in to-day's Paper. Not one
was behind hand—not one craved indulgence be-
yond the time allotted: all were ready to depart
the day before the law was to take effect, when they'
find themsehes unfortunately detained by adverse
winds. Since Saturday night last the wind has bees
hanging on at N. E. and during the last two days ha!
been blowing a hurricane; consequently, no vessel
could get to sea from this port, or even from liamp.i
ton-roads. We do not apprehend, however, that these
vessels will be made to experience any further detenH
tion, after the North-easter has removed its embargo,'
yet we cannot witness their final departure from our
waters but with feelings of regret : since the peace
they have been regular traders to our port ; some of
them having, in that period, made seven or eight
voyages hither, each time bringing valuable cargoes;
paying heavy duties, and taking away our lumber,
naval stores, and flour in return. We have yet m
learn whether the inhibition of this trade, which has
certainly been highly beneficial to this section of the
country, and to the nation at large, will produce an
equivalent advantage in the employment of our own
shippin".„, We hope, yet we doubt it.
On Tuesday evening, as Mr. GEE, of Carmarthen-
street, was passing the.end of Charlotte-street, Fitz-
roy-square, he, was surrounded by a sang of ruffians,
who knocked him down, and stole his watch and 4:7

IBER 14.

" Besides giving bills on houses at Amsterdam
and Ilamburgh, as is understood in the chief ar.
tides in the Convention for the prolongation of pay
ing the contributions, Messrs. Baring and Co. will
give bills on London, Vienna, Frankfort, Augsburgh,
and one or two other cities. The different Powers
will have their separate agreements with the contract-
ing bankers. The separate Convention with Prussia
occupied the most attention. The whole is now ar-
ranged, and the Bankers are preparing to depart.
Mr Baring sets off to-night for Paris, Mr. Siliem
for Amsterdam, and Mr. Rothman for Frankfort.
Mr. Baron Rothschild goes to Paris on Tuesday, alai
the whole of the foreign bankers will be dispersed
by the middle of nest-week. There has been nu po
litical news here since the settlement of the terms of
the late Convention. The attention of the Public

must now be directed to the official publication of
results, as the business of Congress is now drawing
to a rapid close: If nothing unforeseen occurs, the
last conference, it is supposed, will be held on Tues-
day or Wednesday next (17th and 18th inst.) though
all the Ministers will not leave Aix-la-Chapelle tilt
the end of the week, or probably the beginning of
the following. The suites of the different Sovereigns
and the bureaux of the Ministers, have got orders to
hold themselves in readiness for a speedy departure.
" The Emperor Alexander leaves Aix-la-Chapelle
for Brussels on Tuesday morning (the 17th), or Mon-
day, night. His departure was fixed for the 16th, be-
fore It was considered that it was a Monday ; on
which day the Russians, according to their belief,
never undertake auspiciously any journey, or engage
in any enterprise of importance. The Emperor, of
coarse, is above this prejudice ; but he has on more
than one occasion shewn that he respects it in his do.
aiettics. His late departure for Paris was postponed
a day from the same cause. 'His Imperial Majesty
will remain at Brussels till Saturday, when he re-
turns here. He will arrive on the Sunday morning ;
and after breakfasting and attending Divine Service
in hii chapel, will set out for Vienna by Stutgard
and Munich. The Empress-Mother arrives here on
the same day, and after dining at the Emperor's ho-
tel, sets-out for Berlin. The King of Prussia accom.
panies the Emperor Alexander to Brussels, where, it
is said, he will remain for two days, and endeavour
to negotiate personally with his brother-in-law, the
King of the Netherlands, for the exchange of terri-
tory on the Meuse. The Court of Austria departs
on Tuesday. His Imperial Majesty proceeds first
to Munich, where the Empress awaits him : he will
remain a day at Cologne, to repay the inhabitants,
by a longer visit, for the kind and enthusiastic re-
ception which they gave him on his rapid journey to
Congress.. The Princess of Tour and Taxis departs
on Monday. The Duke of Richelieu has said that
he leaves this on Wednesday, the day after the Sove-
reigns. Not only the Prussiau•Ambassador, but the
Prussian Cabinet is here, and will likely remain for
a few days longer. Prince Hardenberg leaves Aix-
la-Chapelle this day. se'nnight, and proceeds directly
to Berlin. Prince Metternich departs about the same
time. Nothing has transpired of the intended mo-
tions of Lord Castlereagh and his young Peers. The
garrison have received marching orders for this day
se'nnight. Some of these arrangements may be al-
tered to a trilling extent; but if no new occurrence
takes place, similar to a treaty of prolongation, there
,is no doubt that, by the end of next week, there will
be as few stars and Ministers seen in Aix-la-Chipelle
as the week before the meeting of Congress."

Extract of a Letter from the Count de Limonade,
Minister of Foreign Affairs to King Henry of Hayti,
to a Gentleman in London, dated Cape Henry, 14th
September. 1818 :
" Sin—l take this opportunity to inform you of the accident
which befell Fort Henry, on the 25th of August last. A flash
of I ghtiting, which, about four in the afternoon, followed a
violent storm, caused the explosion of a depot containing car-
tridges and powder. Many of the buildings of the interior, and
of the eitadel, with which the fire communicated, were shaken.
On the first intimation of this accident, his Majesty repaired to
the spot with his usual celerity, attended by the Officers of his
Staff. He was immediately followed by the household troops,
the troops of the garrison, and the neighbouring inhabitants.
Thanks to their zeal, thanks to his Majesty, who threw himself
into the citadel in the midst of -the flames, and whose example
being followed by his fellow-citizens, they at length succeeded
in getting the fire under, and preserving the other buildings.
" The powder magazines, the military stores, and the vaulted
batteries, which are bomb-ptoof, have nut sustained the slightest
Injury. In short the citadel remains in its former state of de-
fence. The worst effect of the explosion was that, the crown
Work became exposed in consequence of it. This inconvenience
can be easily remedied, and measures were immediately taken
fur that purpose; but what distressed and afflicted his Majesty
most, was the deplorable loss of his brother-in-law, the Prince
Node, Duke of Port-de-Paix, Governor of the Citadel, and
of apart of the Officers and soldier, of the garrison. whp also
perished. We have to regret the loss of 1.59 persons, as well
military men, as private individuals, who exerted themselves to
quell the flames' and met so dreadful a death by this melancholy
accident. The body of the Prince was deposited at Sans S,auci,
and bis Majesty will at least have the mournful consolation of
sqrnmitting his remains to the sepulchre.
" As I entertain no doubt of the interest you will take in this
event, and of your affection for the King, I was anxious to lu-
•form, you of these particulars. Fur the rest, his Majesty is as
wells, could be expected under such distressing circumstanco.
His lofty character and firmness do not abandon him. Ile Las
no need of them to support hit present troubles, those of the
Queen, and of his family, because the Prince, the object of
their regret, . merited their affection by those splendid -and
amiable qualities which made him beloved by all.
" I request that you will communicate these melancholy de-
tails to our common friends, for the purpose of obviating the
false reports which our enemies will not fail to spread upon this
occasion. " I have the honour to be,
" With the highest respect and most sincere friendship,
" Your affectionate servant.

THE BISHOP OF DURHAM.—It rarely happens that
any individual sustains the Episcopal character for
the long period of half a century ; but such has been
the case with the Honourable and Right Reverend
person here mentioned : and, in consequence, his
Lordship's jubilee, or 50th episcopal year, has lately
been celebrated at Newcastle-on-Tyne. This venera-
ble Prelate has not only adorned his elevated station
by a life of rectitude and paternal moderation, bat
has exemplified his earnest desire to advance the dig-
nity of the Church, by promoting to all the livings
•in his gift men who have signalised themselves by
works of literary eminence in Theology; and which
are rendered indispensable requisites to present them
to his patronage.

BULLOCK V. DODDS.
The question this ease was, whether the foods
'of a felon accruing after attainder vested in the Crown.
'before convicti:c?

Mr. MANNING cited 2 Hawkins, bOok 2. sect. 9. c.
69. to shew that choses in' action were forfeited as
well as other goods. The second question was, whe-
her choses in action accruing to the prisoner after
ittaint, vested in the Crown without office found?
For this he cited Bittcton. b. 3. c. 12. s. 14 Staun-

rd. Prerogativa regis, 45. b. 56. and Thelwall's
igte:t. b. 1. c. 15. No. 24.9. in Ventris outlawry held

:;.Pou.ocic, on the other side. insisted that the
should have been a plea in abatement, and not

ilea in bar. Though itt the earlier cases, a person
inted was supposed to have lost all rights what-
soever, yet since Statute 17 Edward 11. c. 16. s. 17.
which enumerated the prerogatives of the Crown),
ling was forfeited to the Crown but goods and
,Attels, and debt by obligation, and those only upon
:e found. Bro. ab. 801 l ab. 111:7herbert, all con-
la,ed the same doctrine, and said that there was a

[action between a chattel and a chose in action,
, that a chose in action was not forfeited. Even
Stamford, who goes further, does not say this. Seve-
cases in the time of Elizabeth, and after, espe-
'y Slade's case, shew that encroachments were
made; that wherever the thing, if in possession, was
forfeited, the action for such a thing followed also.
Sladds case, he eaid, was not supported by the autho-
rities vouched for it, and was contradicted by many
others.
The Crown first got debt upon obligation, then
debt upon simple contract, then detenue, then trover,
and assumpsit, as far as it could be substituted for
debt. (3d Levinz, 29.) All this was contrary to the
of Edw. 11. If his first principle was valid as
chases in action before attainder, a fortiori they
would not be forfeited after attainder, and certainly

' The effect of at-

tainder was to prevent the =tainted from sneing, or
holding things capable of being actually in possession ;
but did not effect a forfeiture of Moses in action ;
especially without an office found; for as to thz plea
in the present case standing fur an office, he could
not understand it. The plea was no office. 'ln re-
spect to outlawry, he cited authorities to chew; that
then was no 'distinction between outlawry in civil
and outlawry in criminal cases; and in civil cases it
was only such as disability of the person as could be
pleaded in abatement, especially as the action only
went tor damages. The plea should have been in bar
as to the debt, and in abatement to the damages ; but
being bad in part it was bad in the whole. The office
to be found, was also of the greatest importance
where the right of third persons were concerned, in
order that they might traverse the office.
Mr. MANNING 'S reply was poitponed.
NOV/MUER V. DODDS.

The Court interrupted M. Manning in his reply,
by stating that he need not labour the point as to
chose* in action vesting in the crown under the word
catalla, in the statute of Edward 11. Such property
was always taken under an-extent, though not under
ta Fi. Fa. It was therefore too late to argue that such
words as bona et catalla did not pass chose.; in action,
accruing before attainder ; he might proceed to argue
the pirint as to thoses accruing after attainder. Mr.
Manning then cited several authorities to sheer that
such property vested in the Crown by relation, (1
'Levinz b. Noy, 143.); and lithe Court should hink
that an office was necessary, the plea in the present
instance amounted to an office. In cases where such
a doctrine had been disputed, the pleas had been bad.
Staunford 60. a. was an authority- that a confession
in a plea was tantamount to an office found.
The Court. postponed judgment.
az& v. DEBENHAM.—(EVIDENCE.)
Mr. NOLAN argued in support of an order of ses-
sions, touching a settlement. The question was,
whether the books of a parish could be evidence of a
certificate entered in them, against third persons?
which, on the. authority of several cases, Mr. Nolan
contended it could not. The 42d Geo. lbi. c. 46.
made parish books evidence of apprentice indentures,
when properly entered ; but if the evidence now con-
tended for could not be admitted, such an enactment
was rugatory. It appeared too, that the parish books
had not been duly authenticated under the hands of
the overseers. The principal case cited- was the Lord.
Mayor of London v. Lynn, H. RI. 214.
Mr. SCAALETT, un the other side said, that if this
evidence were refused, no other could be brought, the
certificate itself having been lost. He argued that
the books of a parish were P sort of public document,
and could not be-likened to a private book. In the
present instance, too, it had been the usual course of
the parish to make entries of this description in the
parish books, so that there could be no ground for
supposing them entered with an interested view.
The book was not brought to prove the whole case,
but only to confirm imperfect evidence.
The Court, after expressing its.sense of the impor-
tance of the ruleS of evidence, and its unwillingness
to infringe on those rules, and stating that this was
the only country in which- a rational system of evi-
'dence existed, held, that the book.in question could
not, under the circumstances, be given in evidence;
the parties making the entries in the book being in-
terested in those entries.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER is.

ALLEY V. WALDLORAVE AND OTHERS.
The plaintiff had contracted with the Justices of
Bedfordshire for building a bridge over the Ouse.
The money wits to be advanced by instalments. They
had failed to advance two instalments of £3OO and'
C6OO. The plaintiff, in consequence, brought his
action against the five defendants, who. had been
elected by the other Justices to superintend the build.
ing. The case was now argued upon a demurrer,.
that the Magistrates were not personally liable.
Mr. Serjeant BtossET argued for the demurrer,
that the Act of Parliament distinctly provided, that
every action and defence on the subject should he in
the name of the'Clerk of the Peace.

Mr. Scrjeant COPLEY, for the plaintiff, argued,
that the Act only said, that the party may bring his
action against the Clerk of the Peace, and therefore
that it was not exclusively binding, to bring the ac-
tion against him. The defendants had been the con-
tracting party 0.1 the one side, and therefore bound
to perform their part. The action arose, not from
the Act of Parliament, but from contract.

The CHIEF Jiisrice was of opinion that, not only
from the terms of the Act, but from the general
principle and propriety of the law, the action should
have been brought against the Clerk of the Peace,
who had a regular mode of indemnification pointed
out, while the Justices had none.

Judgment for the Defendants.
POTHER .1 LL V. WA LTON.

This was an action on a charter-yarty. The plain-
tiff had been employed by defendants to proceed with
his ship to Havre de Grace, to take in six pipes of
brandy at that place, carry them to the Island of
Tercera or St. Michael's, there t, dispose of the
brandy at the market price, and bring home a cargo
of fruit. The plaintiff did not proceed to Havre, but
sailed in the first instance to the Azores. He after-
wards brought an action for the expenses of his voy-
age. The action was resisted on the ground that he
had not fulfilled his contract, the defendants con-

tending that the whole voyage was to be considered
as only one transaction : he obtained a verdict ; and
the question now was, whether the departure from
the instructions in one instance was such a breach of
the contract as took away from the plaintiff h;s right
of action ? The Court held, that there were two se-
, patate voyages, and two contracts. They confirmed
the verdict for the plaintiff in one transaction, but
said the defendants had a right of action against him
for not fulfilling his contract in the other.

positive information has yet reached the Magi-
strates of Bow-street Police Office respecting the
stolen child.

Guttoitat.t.---Yesterday W Mann, a black sea-
man, late of the Cabalva East Indianian, was fully
committed for robbing P. Rainer, another black, who
had been servant to an Officer of that ship when she
was wrecked. The prosecutor and prisoner came to
England together in the Hastings; the former sup-
plying the latter with necessaries during the voyage.
When arrived in the River, the prosecutor came to
town, leaving his chests on board, and the prisoner,
during his absence, broke them open, and stole con-
siderable property. He was soon after met by the
prosecutor, dressed in some of the clothes he had rob-
bed him of, and a great part of the rest were found
at his lodgings in Gravel-lane,
MARLBOROUGII-.STREET.—NaraIt Ball, servant to
J. CUCIIIIANE, Esq. of Wistbourne-green, Padding-
ton, was charged with robbing her master. The pro-
secutor had long been robbed, and a watchman being
suspected was discharged, and his wife, the laurdress
to the family, lost her place also. At length the pri-
soner, who was also a laundres's in the family, pledg•
ed a shirt ; and on being taken she was searched, and
a glove full of duplicates was found concealed about
her person, most of which led to the property stolen
ona Mr. Cochrane.—Remanded.

HATTON GARD E....Le—Yale/41T a poor simple fel-
low, of the name of John Murray, an Irish labourer,
residing in Lockwood's-Court, Saffron-Hill, was
brought up in the custody of John Barnley, the
beadle, charged with having murdered a child, and
buried it in the cellar of the house in which be lodg-
ed. The prisoner being asked what he had to say in
his defence, said, that on Monday morning last his
wife was brought to.bed of a still-born male child,
after a very dangerous labour, as Dr.Whitmore, of
Bath-street, could testify, who attendet: her delivery;
and as it was the custom in his country not to bury
still-born children, or children not christened, in con-
secrated round, but in some spot set apart for that
purpo,e, in the vicinity of some holy weir, Lissheen,
or Forth; and no such place being convenient, he
thought it no harm to bury it in . a corner of the
kitchen. Many of the persons present confirmed the
statement of the prisoner with respect to the custom
in Ireland, of burying stitch children in lonely spots
of ground, set apart for that purpose. Dr.Whittnore,
who came on being sent for, proved having been
sent for to attend the prisoner's wife in a dangerous
labour; that when the child was born it had merely
life; but the woman being in danger, he was obliged
to attend to her, after which he found the child had
no signs of life. He used the necessary means, by
inflating the lungs, &c. to restore animation, but to.
no purpose. The prisoner was then discharged, to
the great satisfaction of all present, the Office and
every avenue thereto being crowded. The child was
afterwards buried in St. Andrew's burying ground. '

Umos Ilsa.t.—An indescribable scene of confu-
sion and riot occurred on Tuesday night in the Bo-
rough; occasioned by the following circumstances :
Between four and five o'clock on Sunday morning, a
chaise-cart driven by one man, and followed on foot
by five others, was observed by Wilkinson, the night
constable of St. Saviour's, and one of his assistants,
proceeding along St. Thomas's-streot, Southwark.— '
Suspecting that something wrong was going on, they ,
attempted to stop the horse, for the purpose of search-
,ing the cart ; but were prevented from succeeding in
their intention, by the men on foot, who jostled
against them, and by forcible means prevented their
near approach to the vehicle. The party at last
stopped in front of St. Thomas's Hospital, and three
!sacks, containing something of a bulky appearance,
were conveyed from the cart into the Hospital, by
the driver and the five men who had followed on
foot, and immediately afterwards the whole party
'drove off in a hasty manner. The night constable,
on the following day, stated to several respectable in-
habitants of St. Thomas's what had occurred ; and a
report circulated through the Borough that exten-
sive depredations had been committed in some adja-
cent burial-ground. Upon more particular inquiry
it was ascertained that the body of a Miss M—,
which was interred on the 7th inst. had been torn
from the grave ; the friends and relatives of the de-
ceased, together with the friends of several other per-
sons who had been recently interred in the burial-
ground contiguous to Harper's Chapel, in the Lon-
don-road, proceeded to that place in a body on Tues-
day evening, attended- by several constables, and
withobt ceremony commenced opening the graves
of those persons who had been recently interred, and
in the space of a few minutes four coffins were .dug
up and found to contain nothing but stones and dirt.
The horror and indignation felt by the surviving re-
latives and friends of the persons thus dragged from
their place of rest, cannot be described. A vast
crowd of persons had assembled to witness the pro-
ceedings : execrations burst from the lips of every
ir.dividual, and curses were denounced upon the
heads of those who had unfeelingly explored, for in-
terested purposes, the mansions of the dead. The
whole neighbourhood became alarmed ; husbands
implored the constables to search and ascertain
whether their wives had been removed ; wives for
husbar_ds, and parents for their children, made
the same application, and a scene of confusion en-
sued which baffles all description. It was at last de-
termined an application should be made to the Ma-
gistrates upon the subject ; a cart was procured, the
empty coffins were placed upon it, in such a manner
as to be most conspicuous to the public view, lighted
torches were held by some ct the party, and followed
bT upwards of a thousand persons, the friends of the
disinterred, proceeded to make their complaint to
the Magistrates at this Office. There being no per-
, son in custody, nor any particular person pointed out
as the offender, the Magistrate could only join his
