trates, for getting the ship off the 11•,rnham.Sand,
and safely bringing her into Burnham River. The
Court was of opinion, that the service was performed
without any considerable merit or danger, and there-
fore pronounced fot 8200 and expencec

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY .s.
WORDSWORTH V. CAINS.

This was an action brought against the Defendant,
a poor sailor boy, for board, clothes, and money,
lent him by the Plaintiff. It appeared from the evi-
dence that this boy had met with an accident at sea,
for which he was sent first to Saint Bartholomew's
Hospital and afterwards to Guy's Hospital, and,
when recovered, he was admitted to board with the
Plaintiff, who had also advanced him money, and
paid for several articles of clothes for him out of elle.
rity. The Plaintiff was then very infirm, and, not
having convenience to lodge him at his house, he was
accommodated with a lodging in the house of a son
of the Plaintiff, who occasionally employed the De-
fendant in going with him to the country, to receivo
money at an Exhibition of 4030 Automaton Fi.
gures, for which he was to receive 16.6 d. per day.
The board charged was at the rate of 12s. per week,
from the 31st of December, 1808, to the 18th of Ja-
nuary, 1809, and, with the other advances, amount.
ed to RIG. The Defendant at length got the situa-
tion of a Clerk at a Waggon Office, and thereupon
this action was brought against him.
It was alledged, in defence, that the defendant had
received these several accommodations' from the
plaintiff in consideration of his rendering himself use-
ful to him during his illness, and going errands ;
but, upon a letter being proJuced and read, written
by the defendant to the plaintiff, he acknowledged
his responsibility for the clothes, and several sums
advanced—so that the Jury, under the direction of
the Learned Judge, gave a verdict for the Plaintiff,
for ei'4, and expences, 40s.

A letter dated the lbth of March, from Santa Fe,
mations, that the disturbances in the centre of South
America had subided, that the country was in a state
of comparative repose, and that commercial inter-
course was beginning to be re-established.
By the advrces from another quarter we are led to
believe, that rlthough a new Junta has been formed
in Carthagena, it's object is to correct the abuses of
the former Government, and not to throw off their
allegiance to Old Spain.
Ihe letters and Papers by the Jamaica Mail of
yesterday are to the 28th of May. They contain no
news of political importance, with the exception of
complaints of the depredations made by the cruizers
of CIIRISTOPHI, the black King of Hayti. The
schooner Susannah, from Portland to Port-au-Prince,
had been plundered on the north side of the island
of Guanaba by a boat with 15 men, who took from
her a quantity of provisions and cash, and ordered
her to Gonaives, within the territory of Chriitophe.
Another vessel from Port Royal was also taken
off Beacr, and sent into Cape Francois. The dif-
ferent ports in St. Domingo, we are told, stiU con•
tinue to send forth piratical ships, manned with des-
peradoes, ready to commit every aggression.-4
French privateer, with a motley crew from that island,
was off the American coast.
A fleet of merchantmen, consisting of 101 sail, ein•
der convoy of the HEBB frigate, of 32 guns, Me m=
brig, of 18 guns, and the HYAENA store-ship, of 24
guns, left Negril on the 20th of May, for England,
and their arrival may be shortly expected. Two run.
ning drips, v.:hich sailed from the West Indies about
the same time, have arrived off the coast.
The Kingston Catgut, of the 18th May, states, that
a Comet had been visible for some time there. From
the imperfect observations that, were taken of it, it
appeared to be nearly midway between the constella.
tion Orion and the sign Gemini. A slight ...hock (f an
earthquake had been felt at Kingston, but had done
only trifling damage.
All has been hurry and bustle among the Ame.
rican ships at Plymouth, for several days past, for
fear of an embargo. The American ship Harry Moore
sailed on the 3d, with American passengers, consisting
daffy of masters of those American vessels con-
demned lately in the Court of Admiralty.
Several transports, under convoy of the Sr. Fro.
aetixofrigate, arrived at Cork on Thursday se'nnight,
destined to receive troops for Spain.

rously attended—several parties partook of a coldeol-
lation under the branches of the
