came out in the course of the examination ;

On Sunday last the clergyman who officiated on board the floating chapel in the river Thames, observed two foreigners in the apparel of seamen, who were very attentive during the performance of divine service, but who gave evident symptoms of never having seen any thing of the kind before. The rev. gentleman made diligent inquiries, and found that they were natives of Owyhee, that they had been brought to this country in an American ship, and had no friend but a Mr. John Tudgay, sail-maker, and owner of the Ship and Pilot public-house, Wapping, High-street, who had been supporting them about two months.

Through the medium of the interpreter, it was stated, that the two warriors had been fishing at some distance from the shore, in a canoe, with three others, and that an American schooner, which had touched at the island for some of their valuable produce, bore down upon, took them all prisoners, and sailed towards Europe. In the gulf of California, a Spanish privateer captured the schooner, and took the prize and crew into San Josef, where the Spaniards murdered two of the warriors countrymen, and made slaves of the warriors themselves. The remaining poor stranger contrived to get possession of a small canoe with paddles, rowed into the ocean, and was never heard of more. After some time, during which they had worked as slaves, an American captain, who wanted hands, was accommodated with the two warriors. He promised to land them at Valparaiso, whence they could

procure a passage home, but he did not keep his word. He sailed on to England, and in London he left them at the house of the person above-mentioned, who has acted with great humanity. They are extremely gentle, good-humoured,and good-natured. Boozeoh-Hoo determined to adapt his appearance to that of those into whose society he has fallen. He therefore put on a jacket and trowsers, and cut off his hair, which hung down to his knees whilst he was amongst his countrymen. Tuano did the same upon landing. The former is remarkable for his activity and strength; can hit a pint pot at the distance of 50 yards with the point of his spear, and can dive to the bottom of 20 fathoms water. A subscription was entered into for the relief of the strangers at the suggestion of the Lord Mayor.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Nothing can exceed the popularity of Mr. Kean. There has been a great speculation in tickets today, the managers having given notice that no more would be sold than would fill the house.

27. THE QUEEN.-The inhabitants of the wards within the city, and the parishes round London, having manifested an anxious desire to present their addresses of congratulation to her Majesty in large bodies, instead of by small deputations, her Majesty, desirous of gratifying their wishes, and disregarding all personal fatigue, will receive their addresses in any way most convenient to them. In order to facilitate any arrangement for receiving such numerous bodies, as the days are now so short, her Majesty will not receive so many ad

KING'S BENCH.-This day the court of King's-bench delivered its judgment in the case of Davison. [See pages 472 and 488, ante. The court was unanimous, and the learned judges delivered their judgment seriatim. Mr. Justice Best, who tried the case at Nisi Prius, was the most particular in his argument. He said, that had the defendant confined himself to a legitimate course of defence, he never would have been subjected to the slightest interruption. With respect to the particular ground upon which the new trial had been demanded (namely, that the defendant had been prevented from entering into all the topics of his defence), it was important to remember, that that defence was in writing, and the omitted part, if any, might have been set out in the defendant's affidavit.

The court discharged the rule for a new trial, and the defendant was ordered to be brought up for judgment on Monday.

The King v. Jane Carlisle.Mr. Gurney rose to acquiesce in the rule obtained by Mr. Hill on a former day for arresting the judgment. There were There were three counts in the indictment, the grand jury declared their finding only on two, saying nothing as to the third. It was impossible,

The grand jury this day returned a true bill of indictment against Fletcher alias Franklin alias Forbes, the placard incendiary, for high treason, upon the 35th of the late King, for publishing treasonable handbills, &c. for a considerable time past.

The Solicitor-general prayed the judgment of the Court upon William Greathead Lewis, convicted at Warwick, for publishing a seditious libel concerning the transaction at Manchester in August, 1819.

The defendant, who was without counsel, put in affidavits, which complained of undue practices in the Crown-office, as to the mode of "picking, packing, or selecting" the jury by whom he was tried.

The court adjudged, that he should pay a fine to the King of 50. be imprisoned in Warwick gaol for two years, and at the expiration of that time, to enter into security for his good behaviour for five years, himself in 2001. and two sureties 100l. each.

28. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO
ST. PAUL'S.

in

To the Hon. Keppel Craven, Vicechamberlain to the Queen.

"Sir;--As magistrates of this city, anxious to prevent disorder and confusion within our jurisdiction, we request that you will have the goodness to lay before her Majesty the inclosed copy of resolutions, proposed at the two last Courts of Aldermen, with reference to your letters of the

17th and 18th inst., addressed to the right hon. the Lord Mayor, and submitted by him to the consideration of the Court of Alder

men.

"The Court of Aldermen first alluded to having been abruptly broken up by Mr. Alderman Wood and Mr. Alderman Waithman; and that held yesterday having been also broken up by the retirement of Mr. Alderman Wood, in order to reduce the number present to less than a quorum, and by the motion of Mr. Alderman Waithman in immediately counting out the court, and these resolutions having been thus prevented from becoming a pub. lic document, we, nevertheless, at this important moment, but without reference to any party or political question, feel it to be an indispensable duty which we owe to our fellow-citizens and to our selves, to transmit them to you as the individual sentiments of the magistrates who have subscribed them.

"We regret the delay which has thus been occasioned, because we were not without hope that, on re-consideration, her Majesty might have been induced to change her intention of publicly proceeding to St. Paul's Cathedral, and thus to have obviated the dangers and inconveniences to which the peaceable and indus. trious classes of our fellow-citizens may be exposed. We have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servants,

"GEO. BRIDGES, late Mayor.
"WILLIAM CURTIS.
"CHARLES FLOWER.

"GEORGE SCHOLEY. "SAMUEL BIRCH. "CHRISTOPHER MAGNAY. "W. HEYGATE. "London, Nov. 28.

"That this court, charged as magistrates, with the preservation of the tranquillity and order of this city, cannot but express its regret at the intimation of the vice-chamberlain of her majesty the Queen to the right hon. the Lord Mayor, communicated by his lordship to this court, of her Majesty's intention to proceed to St. Paul's-cathedral in a public manner, on Wednesday the 29th inst., as likely to be productive, under present circumstances, of serious inconvenience to the inhabitants of this city.

"That the right hon. the Lord Mayor be requested to forward a copy of the above resolution to the vice-chamberlain of the Queen, in order that it may be communicated to her Majesty."

CHANCERY.-Sergisson v. Sergisson. Mr. Hart, in this case, moved, that all orders which had been made in it might be abolished, as the trial at law had taken place, and completely set the question at rest. The motion granted. [For a full report of which, see page 204, antè.]

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.The King v. Davison-Mr. Gurney moved the judgment of the court.

The defendant put in two affidavits: the first from Mr. G. Cannon, speaking to his intimidation on the trial, and to his general good character; the second from himself, repeating the matter contained in his former affidavit. [See page 499, antè.]

Mr. Cooper briefly addressed the court in mitigation of punishment. He did not desire, that those portions of his client's defence which were appended to the affidavit should be read. They had merely been so appended, in order to justify their

lordships, that the defendant, in his former statements, had not exceeded the truth; and he trusted, that the line of defence which had been adopted at the trial would not inflame the sentence of the court.

Mr. Justice Bayley, in pronouncing the judgment of the court, adverted to the ground upon which the rule Nisi for a new trial had been granted. It was the full opinion of the court that the defendant had not sustained the slightest prejudice from any thing which had passed at the trial. The sentence of the court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned in Okeham gaol, in the county of Rutland, for a term of two years; at the expiration of that period to find securities, himself in 2007., and two other persons in 201. each, for his good behaviour, during a further term of five years; and to be imprisoned until said security should be found.

Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins attended in the court of Exchequer, and thus addressed himself to his Majesty's barons of Exchequer:

My Lords-I, Joseph Wilfred Parkins, late sheriff of the city of London and county of Middlesex, hold an affidavit in my hand, stating, that I have attended here since the 1st day of this term, and now, until the last day, have waited in expectation that Mr. Common Sergeant Knowles would have, in fulfilment of his promise, made his appear ance in this court, to have shown cause in support of his attempt to impose upon me one Samuel Collingridge, an attorney at law

by profession, commonly called the Secondary of London, to act as my attorney, to yield unto his majesty, King George the Fourth, a true and just account of the issues and profits of the office of Sheriffwick of the city of London, due to his Majesty, &c. &c.

"My Lords;-I now beg leave to move for a rule of this honourable court, calling upon the city of London, to show cause why I should not be at liberty to enter a warrant of attorney, and appoint my own attorney or deputy, to render an account of the issues and profits of the office of Sheriffwick of London, to his majesty King George the Fourth, for one whole year, that is to say, from the Feast of St. Michael the archangel, in the 59th year of his late majesty King George the Third, to the 30th day of September last."

The affidavit being read, a rule was granted accordingly.

ARCHES COURT, Nov. 28.-Reece v. Reece.-This was an appeal from a grievance arising out of a suit of separation by reason of adultery, instituted in the consistorial court of Bristol, and still therein depending. The parties are persons of property. The suit has been brought by the wife against her husband, and the appeal, which comes up to this court under peculiar circumstances, is from a decree of the judge in the court below, allotting the lady a temporary alimony of 100l. per annum. The answers to certain interrogatories, which had been before directed to be administered to the husband, having been read,

Dr. Arnold, on his behalf, contended that, whatever might have

been pleaded in the allegation of faculties produced in the lower court, the fact was, that this gentleman's nett income, after allow ing for all claims for rates, taxes, &c. produced no more than 1,015. 19s. 10d. per annum; charged moreover with annuities

of more than half its amount.

Dr. Swabey, on behalf of Mrs. Reece, expressed his regret, that that lady had not made earlier application for her alimony. This suit was commenced in January, 1816, and she put in no claim until February, 1819. The proportion and rate of that allowance he thought he could do no better than leave entirely to the wisdom of the court.

Dr. Jenner also appeared for the wife. These parties were married in 1803, and had had several children, seven of whom were now surviving. There were some circumstances in this matter which appeared to be very worthy of remark. The husband was represented to have been living in adultery with the governess of these children ever since the year 1814. The income of which he was in receipt was alleged by himself to be, after payment of taxes and all outgoings, 1,015. 19s. 10d. per annum; but amongst the deductions which he claimed was the annuity or annuities granted on the 17th June, 1817, to the amount of 350l. a year; this annuity, therefore, had been granted only a year and a half after the return of the citation. Now if the party would persist to claim a deduction on account of these debts, amounting to 3,000l., he ought at the same time to state how they had been incurred: he ought to state whether

they had been incurred before or after the adulterous intercourse, for which he was proceeded against, had taken place.

Sir John Nicholl. This was an appeal brought up from the consistorial court of Bristol. It was originally a suit of separation, instituted by the wife against her husband, by reason of adultery. The present was an appeal from a grievance-that being the allotment of alimony by the court below, which allotment the husband affirmed to have been too great. Under every consideration, the fair and equitable course for this court now to adopt would be, to reverse the sentence so far as directed the wife to take the allotment from the return of the citation, but to confirm it from the time that the decree of alimony was made.

This was accordingly done.

PARIS. The Parisians at present may be said to be employed in Bergami-hunting. Yesterday (the 27th) presented a most singular and busy scene in the garden of the Tuilleries, which, owing to the extraordinary fineness of the day, and the expectation of seeing Bergami, was filled with an innumerable crowd of persons of all ages, sexes, and conditions, and all seemingly in pursuit of the same object-Bergami. was a misfortune for a man to have any thing of an Italian physiognomy, garnished with mustachios, hedged in with umbrageous whiskers, and set upon a pair of broad shoulders, for he ran the risk of being pointed out as Bergami himself, or at least as a striking likeness of him, and consequently became an object of most obtrusive and annoying obser
