This was an action nn a policy of insurance, at and
from Gravesend to Liverpool, upon the ship Fanny.
The, vessel sailed from Graveseud in April, but in
her passage was captured by' an enemy's cruiser,
though afterwards recaptured by the Sceptre man of
war, and brought back to Gravesend. In July he
sailed a second time from Gravesend, reached Liver-
poi in safety, and delivered her cargo to the consik
awes. In the mean dine her owners had abandoned
to the underwriters, and notwithstanding her ultimate
safe arrivll at her port of destination, brought their
action as for a total loss. A verdict was taken at the
trial for the plaintiff, but a paint was reserved for the
consideration of the Conic, namely, whether,,iinder
. these circumstances the plaintiffs were entitled to go
against the underwriters as for a total loss, upon
their abandonment ; or only for an average loss,
arisieg out of the capture, detention, and recapture
of the vesseL

port of the total loss, and Mr. RICHARDSON in sup-
port of the average loss, declared its opinion in favour
of the latter: Their Lordships held, that a policy of
insurance was only a policy of indemnity on the part
of the underwriters, who were pot bound to take the
abaadonment of the assured. In the present case,
the assured bad suffered a loss by the detention of the
vessel to the amount of eight per cent. and for that
amount the plaintiff was entitled to recover ; the mi.'
derwriteri being bound by their contract of indemni--

assured bad sustained. but nothing moire.

and directions to the officers, conductors atiepattele,
belonging to the above'Office, nue of the ringleaders
of the mob which disgraced the, metropolis yesterday
evening by parading in various neighbourhoods with
lighted torches, with loaves of bread on the tops of
poles, breaking the windo*i of a number of chops,
loassicularly bakers, was apprehended. About seven
O'clock a mob, emanating at least to between two
rand three hundred persons, attacked the shop of Mr.
Morrison, a baker, the corner of Green-street and
Castle•street; Leicester-square. A patty of the pa
Dole belonging to this Office, amounting to flit or
six, were in readiness to secure any of them as sgon as
any act of violence commenced, which they boldly
did when the mob began breaking open the shop,
,by
rushing in upon them. They seized a man who was
carrying a long pole with a halt quartern loaf on the
sop, when a number of voices snag out I, a mace,"
and the man was released from the custody of the
patrole ; however, they succeeded in keeping the pole
with the loaf at the top, and brought it to the 0 .ffice,
'where Mr Newts and Mr. Bums were in attendance
till midnight, to receive all charges brought before
'them respecting the peace of the town. Ashelby,,one
of the patrole belonging to the • Office: had his head
so much cut, and in other respects wounded by the
mob, that he was obliged to be carried home in con-
sequence of their attacks upon him to rescue a may
he had seized; he received several inhuman Sticks;
from the mob, who broke the shop of Mr. Drew, a.
baker, in Kintstreet, Soho. The young man who
was secured opposite
to Mr. Morrison's.son's.
Green•street, after being locked up in St. M
watch-house till the mob had dispersed from that
neighbourhood, was brought to the office, and under=
went an examination: he bad much the appearance
of having been to sea; he said his name was John
Severn ; he was of nb trade, but was clerk m Mr.
Hill, a dyer, in Great Polteney-street, Golden-square.
William Maidment, one of the patrol., described the
Snob, Consisting of two or three hundred persons,
being assembled round Mr. Morrison's house, their
riotous behaviour, &c. several of them throwing at
and breaking the windows; among them was the
prisoner, who stood at the head or in the front of the
mob ; he produced a large piece of bard cemented
Mortar; which was found in Mr. Morrison's shop, and
which had been thrown into it. On searching the'
prisoner he found two small pieces of hard cemented
mortar, which resembled that found on the counter
of Mr. Morrison's shop. Richard Wilson, another
patrole, confirmed Maidment's statement, and said
be succeeded in securing the prisoner by hard fighting
with his truncheon staff; but by the numbers of the
mob who attacked him at the same time, his coat
was torn to rags. Mt. Morrison stated, that nine
squares of glass in his shop-windows bad been
broken ; he did not know, of his own knowledge, how
many loaves were stolen out, but his daughter and
men had told him that some loaves had been taken
out ot the windows by the hands of the mob after the
squares of glass had been broken. The prisoner, oh
,being called upon for his defence, acknowledged'
being where the patrole had described him to be, but'
denied throwing any thing at or breaking the wine
dows, but the patrole swore.positively to the fact. Hai
accounted for having the two pieces of hard cemented'
mortar in his pocket, resembling that found in Mr. ,
Morrison's shop, by saying it was used in dying.

not considering it a lambic offence, he was emana-
ted for farther examination.

age, John Pierce, John Commit, Jaws, Reed, and eleven
others, were brought up by Hope and Hewett, offi-
cers, charged with having attempted to steal the
Mary Ann East-India trading vessel. John Wheeler,
alias Cornett, swore that he went 'on board the Mary
Ann, on her home passage, at the Isle of France,
about the 25tleof August last, and sailed next day.
One Saturday after she bad saile,d, Pierce came to
him on the forecastle, and asked witness to join him
and a row comrades in taking the ship from the d—d
rascals that were in her, to which he consented, but
refused to take an oath, under pretence that he must
speak to a comrade first, as he did not wish to join
the mutineers, and he went and told the third ofbccr
of it. The nett morning he found Pierce walking
on the forecastle, who told him he had fourteen good
hands; that he meant to batten down the hatchways,'
cat the officers' throats, and throw them overboard.
There were thirty invalid soldiers on board, whom
Pierce said they should call from below, one by one,
and throw them overboard; the ladies (passengers)
he said they should keep for themselves, and when
they got near shore throw them overboard. Pierce
alio said, he should ask Mr. Quimey to navigate the
vessel, and if he refused, throw him overboard; this
he told Mr. Q.uimey of, which Norbuge overhearing,
Pierce and him agreed to throw witness overboard
also, the first opportunity, but fortunately he escaped
an untimely end. John Grant, a seaman on board
the Mary Ann, corroborated the 'above testimony,
adding, that the mutineers sever mentioned a word
ot it to him, but he heard them lay a plan for seizing
the ship and cutting the officers' throats ; of the rest,
he was informal b 7 theTeet *ham; 'They were fully

Th. City of Londonderry has folloired the ettel-
etsausphe orßelfast, 'presented a Congratulato
dress to Lord Casmaaaaou, and invited his Lord-'
ship to a grand entertainment in honour of Ins distin-
guished sertices, as s Statesman, to the British Em-
pire generally, and in token of the pride which Irisl•
men in particular feel in calling his Lordship their
eountrymans The Deputation appointed for that
purpose waited upon the Noble Secretary at Mount-
Stewart, the seat of the Marquis of LOOONDEIMY, on
Thursday, the 31st ult. and presented the invitation.
Hi, Lordihip, however, has declined the invitation,
.as Will be seen by the following Address to the Mayor
;maid Ficemen of the City of Londonderry ;
viv GJCNTLEMIX.—I acknowledge, with the warmest
sentiments of gratitude, the dancing congratulations
with which you have been pleased to welcome my
return to my native country, after an absence em.
ployed Wale public service, and under circumstances
deeply important to the welfare, not only of this
country, but of the world. .

" At the close of the arduous contest in which we
,have been engaged. it 'must be most gratifying to the.
government,. of which I am a Mmber, that their
.conduct should receive the approbation of the free-
,men of the city of Londonderry ; bred in the school
of Mr. Pitt, and convinced as he was froth rape-
Acne*, that through resistance alone a peace de-
serving that name was attainable, the Ministers o!
the Prince Regent did not hesitate, however awful
jthe responsibility, perseveringly to animate and to
direct the energies of the nation, and the unparalleled
achievements of its fleet and armies, to the complete
overthrow of that revolutionary power, against which
this illustrious statesman had to 'contend in its earliest
and more delusive forms.
44 Upheld by the unqualified support of the Prince
Regent, their august master, steadily treading, as
you have well observed, in the footsteps of his King
and father, and sustained by the determitied spirit of
a brave and free people, they have at last succeeded
in bringing this great struggle to a termination,
compatible, as they trust, with the repose and Tiber-
,ties of mankind; and which must hand down to the
latest posterity the Regency of his Royal Highness,
as the most splendid era in the history of this or per-
haps of any other country.
" This auspicious result, Gentlemen, is to be
mainly attributed, under PLIOVIDENCIt, to the unani.
mity which has marked the Councils of the Allied
Powers, rendered effectual to their object by the
immediate presente of so many of the illustrious So-
vereigns at the head-quarters of their victorious ar.
ties; but, to no cause is it to be traced with um e
truth than to the unconquerable spirit of the peo
pie of this united kingdom, which successfully sat!in-
tained the conflict at the period ot.its utmost peril,
and afforded to the oppressed nations of Europe, not
less by their arms than by their resources, the snf!ans
of triumphantly destroying the tyranny under which
they groaned.'

to lire, has been found; in all times of pubic danrer,

a'very deep sense of the many proofs of tegard hid'
you have afforded to me and to my family, I leave
you to judge how truly it would gratify me to visit

period of my stay in Ireland compels me, most re-
luctantly, to forego this satisfaction for the present.
Permit me, however, to look forward to revisit the

gratified by the manner in which your sentiments
have been conveyed to me on this occasion, by the de.
