This had been a qucstion upon the wonstruction of a charter-party, The plaintiffhad at Cadiz chartered the yt. Patricl, and had made the terns of the charter conditional, upon the arryval of another ship, the Grant, also chartered by bim at a certain port in Sousth Ame- rica, within a specified time, from which the St, P0d7ck was to carry a cargo to Europe. St. Blas, in Califbrnia, was the fifrst plaCe mrentioned. 'Guayaquil, in Peru, wasafterwardssubstitutte&t. The charterer had agreed to pay 6.0000. for the St. Fatrick, which viasato go from London in ballast. tn the charter.party of theSt. Patrick, the charter became void if thie Grant should not arrive at Guayaqui at the time stipulated. The Gnra? did not arrive in time. She lad oeen captured by Lord C-ochranc, and detained at Lima for a con- siderable time. Shc arrived at Oaayaquil too late,and without a caigo. The owners of the St. I'atsric hrought their action to recover from the charterer an indetruity for the suam of 6,0001. The Lord Chief Justice at he trial ptt it to the Jury to find whether the de- lav was occasioned t'hrough the fault of the captain of the Grant, ar;d dlirected them, if they thoiught that it was not occasioned by the fault of the captain, to find their verdict for the defendant. The Jarv fouind for the defendant. The AfToaNEY-(GE.wt AL afterwards obtained a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted on the grounds of mis- direction by his Lordship in point of law, and of the verdict being contrary to the evidence. Mlr. SCARLETT and MAr. POLI.OC- showed ucause. 'Non-aTrrval must be non-arrival, for the purose of the voyage. The Granf had a.-rivei', but after the time speci e'l ; and afier the St. atericA had been chartered for another parpose, and sailed from G(}avaquil. the pr)Liso nmaking the charter-party void on the ron-arrival tf the Greet canme into operation. j ,'7e ATTORNEY-(GENERAL and air. CAXIPBEILL argued that the defeiAifalt became in law responsible for the arrival of the Grant, and that tler, was improper delay on the part of the captain of the Grant, his servanm in stopping so long at St. Blas. Their Lo-rdships a.'ler full statemei,ts of their vievs of the ques- tion, refused a new trial.-Rule discharged. f Ir. Hunt was in attcnda,cCe to receive judwment on the prosecu tion of Thlc jI,erat.

According to letters from P&irs, dated on..Monday last. and received yesterday by express, a Spanish cabinet courier had arrived iii that capital on the pieceding, day, bringing a formal application totheAllied Powers to become mediators between Spain and her late colonies. To what_ ever results this step may lead, it is important at least to know, that by taking it Spain at, -elgth' afio'ledge-I (what, indeed, was manifest to all theworld) herinability to make conquests, and declares her disposition .to enter into' any intelligible arrangement. That it will procure no ad- vantage to Spain, beyond that of retiring from the contestq witb some slight remains of dignity, is obvious. We sup- pose the Allied Powers will ardly give themselves the trouble of interfering; for even ifa Congress should assem- ble in consequence of the invitation of Spain, any decrees they miglit think proper to fulminase against the trans-At-- lantic States, would. only have the effect of overwhelmting with the-ridicule ofEurope thosewithwhom theyoriginated

The poaiis morning and evening papers of Wednesday arrived last night Th Aonileur states that the Royal Tribunal ofNismes is about to brinb7 to trial one Roque, and twelve other persons, ac- cused of crimes aginst the internal tranqollUity of the state, and of rebellion against the gandarmerie. No decisive change is announced as having taken place in ti:e healLh of the PoPE. The illness of his Holiness appears to be contagc;nus in the Sacred College, no less than three of the cardinals, SPExt'cri, TABIzzIA,and RurFFO, having been latcly seized with dangerous maLdies. The first died on thc 21st ult. The following is the account which the DiaVwo di Roma of the 31st ult. gives of the progress of the Hloly Father's distemper. " Iis Holiness had sullfbrcd at the end of Novemberone of those he- ,norrhages,towhich hehas beensubject forsome years. Notwithstand- ing the weakness it left behind,the "oly Father,whose ardent zeal for the good of religion and the state is above all praise, would still devote his attention to it without ceasing, even in his bed. In the night of the 23d, the Pope had a violent suffocatiolt. The physi. ean found that he had a fever, and an incipient swelling, and ap- plied sinapisma to the feet, and a blister to the neck. These reme- dies sufficed to relieve the breast. Rome, which was in consterna- 41on, was consoled this morning, by learning that its adored Prince -. sensibly better. The fever-has ceased, and the swelling is con. sideiably reduced. On the 25th the Pope was able again to attend to-business, and to give daily audiences to- the Secretary of State. His Holiness is only very weak, butit is hoped tbat regular diet wUl strengthen him." The Etdle of Wednesday evening contains the following state. ment, on thealleged authority of letters from Corfu, dated Decem- ber 18 _" All the English men of war which are cruising in the Levant have received order; to meet at Dlalta. The object of their m3sembling is an expedition against Tunis, the DEY persisting in his rcfusal to comply with the demands of the British Government, rhichdlaimas the release of the Greek slaves.

There ars certain p henolnena in the present comet which are of rare occurreuce in those eceentric bodies. Wirhen first no- ticed about a nonth since, its course appeared to Ire northward with little change in right ascension, whence it was expected it wvould become circumpolar, and be visible above the northernhori. zoD. During the last week the comet htas nioved in a retrograde di- rection, describing at the maximum an are of ten degrees hi tigbt ascension in 24 houots, and ecliifing southwatd. prwn theiftereased motion; as vewed from the earth, the comet nmusthavepassed nearer to our planet at tbis time, although the motion-in its orbit had decreased; yet being farthier fiom the sun, it bas been less isible. in the present night it will be nearly in opposite right ascension to the sun, and therefore pass the meridian about mid- night : but the tail in that position being projected in the direction from the earth, vill appear as the coma surroantling the nucleus. A series of observations having becn made at tbe Royal Observatory, these will afi'ord the wmeans of computing-the elements with great ac- ctracy. That indefatigablb astronomer, Dr. Brinkley, has alteady given the result ofhisobservatiohs, and deduced approximate ele- ments.

No. 9, Essex street, Strand, Feb. 12. Sir,-I am sorry to say that your report of 6ti;s day is a firossp.r. verSion of what was done and said at the Maryle.LOne policeoice, where I attended yesterday, with four respectablc pem.Ons, tO prove that I did not nor ever had refused to pay the 4s. per w eek for the maintenance of a bastard child of Hannah White's, begoKten, as I am credibly informed, by one Wickstead, a card dealer at is gum- bling.house. On the contrary, when Thorpe, the messengbx or parish constable, not an assistant-overseer a' you state, carne with a bill for the amount, I told him it was mv wish to see the child, wlhich had never been showvn to me, that I maight be assured that such a thing really was in existence, antl that it was taken care of in a mannersuitable to the sum levied upon me-4s. per week for its maintenance. This said Thorpe hummed and haed, and made four di&erent appointments to produce the chlld, none of which he ver kept. it tSerefore excited a suspicion, which still remains on my aind, of some foul plav as to the existence of the child, which had never been regularly produced to me, either at 2llarylebone po}ite_ office or any 7here else, not even when the impudent hussey swore atHislks'-hall that she was a modest and a virtuous woman! thiough in her modesty and virtue she allowed me, a stranger whom she did not even know by name, to become the father of a c-iid by her, and to know her four tLmes for 4s., as she swore. I understand the woman hrought a child to Hicks's-hall, and that it was as dark as a mulatto, which she very warily, or advisedly by Thorpe, left in charge of some one else, wvhilst she was examined by those wise- acres, to whom, had the child been produced, it would have proyed to ocular demonstration, from its complexion, &c., that it was-not of my breed.
