Recently, in London, an action was brought by an attorney's clerk to recover from the defendants, the sum of 1 2 10s. which he had paid to them for 10 tickets, for an excursion to the Nore, on board the Hero steam packet, together with other expenses incurred by the plaintiff, in consequence of the defendants having failed to perform their contract. It appears from the evidence that a short time previous to the 19th July last, the defendants published a placard or hand bill, advertising that on that day "a coronation gala and grand naval masquerade would be given on board that grand float ing palace the Hero steam vessel, which would leave the Tower stairs at eight o'clock in the morning for the Nore, and, after taking a close view of his majesty's fleet lying off Sheerness and Queensborough | would return, before dusk, to her moorings off the Tower stairs. Tickets 5s 6d each; breakfast, dinner, supper, and all other accommodations to be had on board on reasonable terms. The passengers to be permitted to land at Sheerness for an hour and a half." The plaintiff and his party were in attendance at the appointed bour, and having, together with about 200 more, embarked on board the "floating palace," which had returned that morning from Calais, (her boiler having burst on the passage), they were told that she could not proceed on the excursion till some trifling repairs were made. The repairs being at length completed, the company, to their disappointinent, found that a further delay must take place, until the "floating palace" was supplied with coals. About ten o'clock, a barge laden with coals came alongside, and the company having enjoyed the pleasure of witnessing the shovelling of the coals on board of the "floating palace," proceeded on her voyage; but, in consequence of her boiler bursting a second time, was unable to proceed further than Greenwich, where she remained until the return of the tide brought her to Blackwall, by three o'clock in the morning, where the passengers, amongst whom were the plaintiff's wife and children, were obliged by the defendants to go on shore. The plaintiff and some of his party, anxious to return home, left the steam boat at Greenwich, where they arrived at 12 o'clock at night, and were obliged to take a glass coach to London. for every hour each servant is harbored, one half of which is payable to the public schools, where such forfeiture shall happen, and the other half to the party grieved; and Mitchell was liable to pay $1 66 2-3 for every hour each apprentice was harbored by him, and that he must be sentenced to pay $4 880. The court agreed in opinion with the counsel for the prosecution, but delayed passing sentence, as the counsel for the party grieved, suggested that a compromise would take place. Richardson and Kell, (attorney general), were the counsel for the prosecution. E L Findley for Mitchell. N. B-The above case has been reported with the view of making known the penalty imposed upon those who harbor apprentices, as it is believed that most persons are not informed of the nature and effect of the acts of assembly upon this subject. In order, however, to prevent any injury to the credit of Mr. William K. Mitchell, it is deemed necessary to state, that he has compromised with the counsel of the party grieved, to whom one half of the penalty is given by law, and that an effort is making, which in all probability will prove successful, to induce the governor and council to remit the other half. Chron. NEW YORK. A destructive fire took place at Troy, on the 20th inst. and consumed many valuable buildings, especially the furnace-buildings of Messrs. Starbuck and Gurley. About forty workmen were thrown out of employment by this disaster. A large factory at Scaghticoke, near Tory, was destroyed on the 13th, together with its appurtenances. Loss estimated at $120,000-of which only 16,000 was insured. By this fire, more than one hundred persons are thrown out of employment, and, says the Albany Argus, "must literally suffer for the want of their daily bread, until they have an opportunity of moving to some other place." VIRGINIA. Mr. Giles is out as a candidate for the house of representatives of the United States, against Mr. Archer. It is supposed that there will be an animated contest between them. Mr. G. has also been toasted, in Virginia, as the next president of the Unit ed States. Another great fire has taken place at Petersburg, and destroyed between 20 and 30 houses. The loss sustained by fires, in this town, during the past five years, is estimated at $175,000-and some of them caused by design. There has also been an extensive fire at Norfolk. KENTUCKY.

LAW CASE. Harboring of apprentices. Interesting and important., State vs. William K. Mitchell, Ballimore city court, June term, 1826. This was an indictment charging Mitchell with harboring two apprentices of a certain Hester Crockett, from the 25th April, 1826, to the 30th June inclusive. The jury found him guilty of harboring the two apprentices from the 1st of May, 1826, to the 30th June, inclusive. The counsel for the prosecution then contended, that the offence in this case is created by the act of 1793, c. 45, sec. 3, which provides that persons har boring apprentices are liable to the same penalties as those who harbor servants; that, by the act of 1748, c. 19, sec. 2, persons harboring servants are compelled to pay one hundred pounds of tobacco, or $1 66 2-3 | of col. Sharpe, and the death of his wife, who, it seems, had resolved to die with him. We shall insert further of the particulars of this horrible case. They hardly have a parallel. It seems, by the statements made, that col. S. had seduced the woman, then found her a husband, on the promise of a piece of land, which he afterwards refused to give, charging her with having had a colored child; and that thereupon, to be revenged, she urged her husband to commit the murder, &c. But we have another tale of horror from the same state. The Frankfort Argus, of the 12th inst says"On Saturday evening an express arrived at the governor's from Cynthiana, announcing that his son, Isaac B. Desha, had, on that morning, cut his own threat from ear to ear with a razor, and could live but a few minutes after the express started. The messenger met the governor in Georgetown on his way to Mason county, but came on to inform the portion of his family left in town. It is stated, that after he cut his throat, he took a pen and wrote 'I am innocent of the crime of which I am charged,' when his strength failed and he dropped the pen. Again he took it up and wrote. I have been very badly treated,' and again dropped the pen He was alive on Sunday morning; but the surgeons had not succeeded in closing the gash in bis wind pipe " And yet further. It is reported that a capt. Lowe, the witness with whom Beauchamp tampered, through his wife, to swear against Mr. Darby, and by implicating him in the murder of col. Sharpe, to save himself, has, since the execution of Beauchamp, been shot. [Lowe refused to give the testimony desired; and, instead of acquitting Beauchamp, was, perhaps, the most powerful witness against him, proving that, B. designed to implicate an innocent man.] MISSOURI.

Great Britain and Ireland. The election for members of parliament was going on, and excited considerable disturbance at Carlisle, and other places.

No plumes waved above or around it; no fantastic figures or unappropriate drapery interfered with or lessened the solemnity of the feeling which it was intended to. excite. It was of an oblong shape, four or five feet wide, eight or nine long, and perhaps four feet high,. inclining towards the top, covered with tightly drawn black cloth, supported upon low antique wheels, and bearing upon it two large flat coffins. shrouded in black-upon the body of the car, in front and behind, were the winged globes of the Egyptian mausoleum-on the sides, separated by lachrymal urns, were escutcheons, containing the dates of the birth and death of ADAMS and JEFFER SON. This was the car; plain, simple and appropri ate, it silenced the crowd as it rolled heavily by, and the eye, fascinated by a strange attraction, rested up. on the two coffins until they were no longer to be seen in the dense mass of human beings that sur rounded them. shadow of the oaks-all looking to one object, all listening to one theme-the eulogy of Adams and Jefferson.

Those who fought t Bunker Hill and York Town-those who fought at North Point and New Orleans-those now arrived at the prime of manhood-and those who, clinging to their parents or collected under their instructors, urged the short rapid steps of infancy to keep pace with the proud ranks that marched along. Need we say more of Carroll, of Carrollton's place in the procession, than to state these facts. The Tea Case. FROM THE N Y. EVENING POST. We have procured from Mr. Staples, one of the counsel in the cause, judge Thompson's opinion in the case of the United States vs. the teas claimed by the Lippincotts, and give it to the public as an interesting document. 651 chests Hyson Skin tea, ad. The United States. This case comes up on a writ of error to the district court of the southern district of New York. The seizure of the teas having been made upon land, the information was filed in that court, as a court of common law, and the cause tried by a jury, and a special verdict found, which ascertains and settles all matters of fact in the cause. After the barouche, came the state authorities-after them came old grey headed men, who could tell of '76 as of yesterday-then the officers of the different courts and the municipal authorities-then came society after society-then came long lines of youths and children-then came seamen with their flags enveloped in crape-then came the crowd of The information sets out that the teas were import citizens of all ages and conditions, filling the street from side to side, children leading their parents, pa-ed into the United States in July, 1825, from Canton, rents leading their children-then, closing the pro- in the ship Benjamin Rush, and were subject to the cession, on came the deep ranks of soldiers-on payment of duties, and then alleges the following came a sea of plumes scarcely waving in the solemn grounds upon which the forfeiture is claimed: march; but the banners which were wont to float so fairly, were enveloped in mourning, and the eye looked in vain for the glitter of arms-rank after rank passed by, and still others filled their places, and when the head of the procession was concealed as it turned into Howard street, the last files were still nearly a mile in the distance. At last the head of the column reached the Park, and turning into the Belvidera gate, wound through the woods, until, after passing the crown of the hill, it descended into the natural amphitheatre below. In the centre of this, surrounded by twenty thousand people who looked down upon it, was the platform for the ceremonies; at the back of the platform, extended between the trees, was a drapery of black cloth, we should think almost seventy feet in length and fifteen in height, projecting from the middle of which, and supported by the bough of an oak, hung the dark canopy, over the place intended for the orator-on either side of the drapery behind, waved the United States' flags. As the troops of horse began to descend into the amphitheatre, the populace separated to the right and left, and in a short time the ranks of the procession formed a close body round the platform; a few mounted cavalry surrounded them, and upon these pressed the throng of people-close by the orator of the day, were seated CARROLL and IIOWARD, and the other seats were filled with the Cincinnati, the soldiers of the revolution, the state and municipal authorities, and the different staffs of the military. We have seen many spectacles-but never one which made the impression which did this in Howard's park-this crowd, collected under the broad 1st. That the teas were unladen and delivered from the ship or vessel in which they had been imported at Philadelphia, without having been entered at any custom house, or in the office of any collector of the customs in the United States, and without any permit from any collector or naval officer; and that the duties imposed by law on the said teas had not been paid or secured to be paid to the United States. 2d. That the teas so imported ought, according to the provisions of the act in such case made and provided, to have been marked, and accompanied with the certifi cates required by the act; and were found concealed in a store in Pearl street. in the city of New York, in the possession of some person unknown to the district attorney, unaccompanied by the marks and certificates pre scribed by law, and that the duties had not been paid or secured to be paid. 38.
