A case Of some importance to Mas
tiers and Mis.resses was decided yes
terday, after some argument, before the
Court Of Request, Vine street;-A gro
Ger summoned Mr.. Styles, chemist,
in Regent street, for the payment of
eight shillings, for goods had by wo-
man representing herself as being in
Mr.. Styles's service-which he refused
TO pay, on the ground that the woman
had left her service some time past,
and consequently the goods were not
had for him. The Court, however,
with the exception Of one member, de-
cided in favor Of the grocer, on the
principle that person sending ser
want tc a shop for goods, and paying
one bill, is bound, on the servants .eav-
ing:him, to give notice to all his trades
men not to let her have more goods on
his account. Ifhe does not do this, he
is liable for any accounts she may run
up in his name, at shops she had been
accustomed to fetch goods from for
his use, while she was in his service.

Ship Wreck ofths Ogle Castle East hdi-
amdn
Dozens Nov. 3.-Extract Of a letter:
i was reused from bed at half past
six O'Clock in the morning, to behold
large and beautiful ship, which had at
that moment, in endeavouring to reach
the Downs from the westward, struck
on the Goodwin Sands, about the wes-
tern extremity. AT the termination Of
about twenty minutes from the period
of grounding, her forepart having pre-
yiously lowered or sunk into the sand,
she inclined so much on her starboard
side as to bring the masts within 10 or
10 feet Of the water. In this situation
she continued for FIVE or six minutes,
when her masts having come in con-
tact with the waves, were all carried
ashore. She struck at half pas, six in
the morning, and before hall past she
was perfect wreck cannot accu-
rately describe the scene which took
place on board, having been distant a
bout three miles; but could perceive,
with he assistance of a good glass,
that no sooner was the misfortune per-
ceived by the crew and passengers,
than the utmost CONSERVATION and con-
fusion prevailed on deck. Persons
were seen running IN every direction
Some took to the cross-trees, others to
the rigging, while the bowsprit and
poop were crowded. The cIoss-trees,
seemed the principal asylum, where
they all flocked around the stump Of
the mizen mast, to which someI pre-
sumo were Iashed One man chung to
the broken extremity OF the mast, where
he remained for more than an hour.
While in this perilous situation, from
which Providence alone could have sa-
we'd them, boat lowered round in all
directions, evidently with view of az
fording assistance, but, alas, she was
unable tc approach nearer than one
hundred yards A second boat made
her appearance, and in vain attempted
to approach. Two others made des-
perate efforts, and one more determine
ed than the rest, lowered to windward,
passing and repassing within eighty or
one hundred yards; but, notwithstand-
ing the determination which the brave
crew evinced, they were unable to al
ford the necessary assistance, so great
was the surge, and violent the gale.
Several boats came up now, but 10 no
purpose, they were unable 10 approach
on any side. About seven O'Clock sew.
eral tremendous waves washed over
her deck, and the crowd on the poop
was considerably diminished; many no
doubt, having been washed off The
boalsmen continued their praisworthy
exertions with unrcmitting dexterity
and courage until half past eleven o.
clock, when the severity of the gale O.
bliged them to forsake the pursuit, and
make for the shore"
A letter has been received from ma
val officer, dated Deal, 6tn Nov.
Sits reported to day that II Of the
crew Of the unfortunate ship Oge Cas-
lie were taken off the floating wreck by
French fishing boat, and have since
arrived al Calais"
Acc riding to reports from Deal,
several females, on the poop of the
0gie Castle, were seen distinctly from
the boats. A tremendous wave buried
the vessel, and hid it for some mo-
ments-when she re-appeared TO view,
the females were no longer visible
all had been swept away!

IN SENATE-TUEsDAY, Dec. Is.
The various subjects contained in
the Presidents Message, were referred
to appropriate committees.
Mr.. Eaton submitted the following
resolution for. consideration
Resolued, That the Committee on the judi
ciary inquire into the expediency of so amend
igg the Judicial Sy stem of the United States
as that each and all the States may equally
participate in its benefits.
Mr.. Lloyd, Of Mass. laid on the Ia
BILE the following resolution for consi-
Iteration
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the Navy
be directed to cause to be laid before the Sc.
nate, the proceedings and judgment OF the
Court Of Inquiry in relation to the employ
ment the squadron under Commodore Por'
ter, for the suppression Of piracy in the West

1928 and '24; and, also, the proceedings OF
the Court Martial in reference to the transac.
tons at Foxardo.
Mr.. Holmes submitted the following
resolution:
RESOLVED, That the Committee on Finance

far as to prevent the illegal introduction of
such goods from provinces or territories ada
cent to the United States.
RESOLVED, That the Committee on Finance

ing to the coasting trade.

derauon of the following resolution,
submitted OH former day by Mr..
Johnson, of Kentucky:
Resoircd, That committee be appointed to
inquire into the expediency Of abolishing i'm
prisonmen. for debt
Mr.. Hayne thought the suggestion
made on the subject the other day, by
the gentleman from Massachusetts,
(Mr. Mills a very go"d one, and he
hoped it would meet the appreciation
of the hon mover: he should therefore
move to amend the resolution by add
ing the following words:
''And also that they be instructed to inquire
into the expediency of establishing an uniform
system Of Bankruptcy throughout the United
States, with leave to report by bill or other
wise"
Mr.. H. remarked further, that, by
referring both subjects to the same
committee, sufficient time would be
given for the inquiry, and the whole
ground would be occupied; the only
objection would be It's not being refer.
red to the Committee on the Judiciary;
but that committee would, he presum-
ed, have so much to do, t would pro-
badly, not be able to bestow the neces-
sary attention on the details of these
measures.
Mr.. Johnson, of Ken. said he should
make no objection, as far as he was
concerned, but would vote for the pro-
position provided no objection were
made to it by the committee on the
Judiciary.
The amendment was agreed to, and
the Resolution, as amended, adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Johnson, the COM
mittee was ordered to consist Of seven
members.

LORD BYRoN's LATEST VERSES.

MIssoLoNGHI, Jan. 90, 1924.
On this day I complete my thirty-sirth year."
IT'S time this heart should be unmov'd,
Since others it has ceas'd to move;
Yet, though cannot be belov'd,
Still let me love.
My days are in the yellow leaf,
The flowers and fruits Of love are gone,
The worm, the canker. and the grief
Are mine alone.
The FIRE that in my bosom preys,
Is like to some volcanic isle,
No torch il kindled at its blaze;-
A funeral pile.
The hope, the care, the Jealous fear.
Tn exalted portion OF the pain,
And power Of love, cannot share,
But wear the chain,
But tits not here-it is not here
Such thoughts should shake my soul ; nor now
Where glory seals the bero's bier,
Or binds his brow.
The sword, the banner, and the field.
Glory and Greece around US see;
The Spartan borne upon his shield
Was not more free.
Awake not Greece-she is awake -
Awake, my spirit,-think through whom
My life blood tastes its parent lake
And then strike home
l tread reviving passions down,
Unworthy Manhood unto thee
Indifferent should the smile or frown
Ofbeauty be.
If thou regret thy youth,--why lives
The land of honorable death.
Is here--up to the field, and give
Away thy breath!
Seek out---less often sought than found
A soldiers grave, for thee the best,
Then look around, and choose thy ground,
And take thy rest.

FROM THE FAMILY VIsIroR.
From the 2oth Chapter of Genesis.

from NS 2otH ChdpteT o. OeneStS.
And Jacob went towards Haran; and he alight-
i at certain place, and tarried there all nights
nd he took stones for his pillow, and laid down in
hat place to Sleep"
When exiled Jacob wandered lone,
Far from his hostile kindred driven,
His pillow was the messy stone,
His tent the ethereal Dome Of Heaven.
Yet no dark thought of danger nigh,
His sweetly peaceful sIumbers hindered,
For DER him watched Fathers eye,
And round him ministering Seraphs lingereds
Sweetly he slept in Haran's land,
While visioned glories lowered DER him.
For we'll he knew and lov'd the Hand
That spread its future gifts before him.
Sweety his song Of praise he poured,
When morn's fresh beauties glowed beside
him;
For gratefully his heart adored
The power that ne'er had ceased to guide
him.
And why should Lies poor Pilgrim fear,
When all around is sad and drearya
For, he, too. claims the guardian care
Of One who soothes the lone and weary.
Why should the wounded spirit droop
When faith brings many blissful token,
To cheer the fading beam Of Hope,
When Joys Elusive spell is broken.
