circumstances had been submitted to a court of inquiry, consisting of the several officers of the British ships then lying there, whoexanlined into them, and directed the seanián to be flogged, islamabɛ Lord Stowell observed, that the captains of vessels were warranted in applying bodily pishment to an extent commen surate to the offence, In this case, it ap peared that the plaintiff (was employed in removing some logs of timber on board the vessel, and which de did in so idle and slovenly a manner as to draw on himself the laughter of the rest of the crew. On being remonstrated with, he refused to alter his conduct, and made use of contumelious expressions against the Captain, as well as the service in which he was engaged. This was an aggravation of his offence, and the Captain resorted to the usual method in such cases, namely, to institute a Court of Inquiry, which, by the rules and regulations of the East-India Company, was competent to inquire into them. The Court did so, and also heard evidence that the general conduct of the seaman was extremely indolent; and that, on several occasions, he had acted in an equally reprehensible manner. The Court of Inquiry, taking into view that conduct, was bound to consider this not as an isolated act of insubordination to the lawful authority he was then 'under, but as parcel of a system of conduct which might eventually lead to mutiny and the total loss of the ship. His Lordship, therefore, under all the circumstances, was not prepared to say the punishment inflicted was more than the plaintiff' deserved. The master was justified (taking the demerits of the case into consideration) in acting as he had done. He was therefore dismissed from all further observance of justice in this case. PREROGATIVE COURT. June 16.-Mackay V. Mackay. This was a suit respecting the testamentary intentions of Capt. Archibald Campbell, of the Duke of York, Indiaman. It appeared that in 1823, the Captain, previous to leaving England, lodged a sealed paper at his banker's, with instructions to transmit it either to Sir William Dallis, or to MajorGeneral Mackay, in the event of his dying at sea. The Captain died on his return to England, and the paper was accordingly opened, and was found to contain a testamentary disposition of his property, which he had divided into sixteenths. To his brother, General Sir Jas. Campbell, he bequeathed one-sixteenth, to his brothers Charles and John, two-sixteenths each; to his uncle, Major-General Mackay, four sixteenths and to his cousin, Miss Ann Whistler, to whom he was to have been married in the event of his returning alive, four-sixteenths. The remaining shares are left singly among different friends and relations. While at sea the deceased drew up six other papers, containing different alterations as to the amount to be enjoyed by each of the different legatces. The sixth and last of these papers increases the legacy to Miss Whistler to six-sixteenths, and reduces that to Major Mackay to onesixteenth. It contains other alterations, but these are the most prominent. Sir J. Nicholl, in an elaborate judgment, pronounced for the will left at the banker's, in connexion with the paper numbered 6, by which it was to be considered to be altered and modified. ADMIRALTY SESSIONS, OLD BAILEY." June 27.-Capt. A. Christie, and Phipps were indicted for assaulting and obstructing Lieut. (now Capt.) Marshall, of his Majesty's ship Glasgow, whilst in the execution of his duty on the high seas, Sir C. Robinson stated the facts of the case. Capt. E. Marshall was called and examined by the Solicitor-General.-He stated, that in May 1822, he was first lieut. on board his Majesty's ship the Glasgow, then lying in the Madras roads. Whilst the Glasgow was lying there, the Thomas Coutts merchantman, commanded by Capt. Christie, came into the roads. The Glasgow was thirty hands short of her complement. It is usual for king's ships, in that situation, to send on board any merchant-vessels which may be near them to obtain volunteers. The Glasgow had on board fifty lacs of rupees belonging to the East-India Company, which were to be carried to England. The Glasgow sent a boat to the Thomas Coutts to see whether there were any volunteers on board. A note was brought back to the Glasgow, from the crew of the Thomas Coutts, stating that they were desirous to volunteer on board the former vessel; in consequence of receiving this note, the witness, as commanding-officer on board the Glasgow, proceeded to the Coutts in a boat, accompanied by Mr. Hayley, a midshipman, and eleven men. The witness informed Capt. Christie of the purpose for which he had come, and told him to muster the men, that he might see how many were willing to volunteer. Capt. Christie refused to muster the men, but said that he (the witness) might see them between decks. The witness said it was inconsistent with the orders he had received from the Admiralty that he should go below. After some further objections, Capt. Christie mustered his men, to the number of 135, of whom about forty vofunteered: he selected about seventeen men, who went on board his boat. He was about to follow them, when he was prevented by a rush which was made by a number of persons. Some of these perP 2 sons sons called to the men in the boat to come back. He believed that these persons were officers. Captain Christie was near enough to hear what passed. The witness endeavoured to get to the gangway, but was held back by his coat, which was torn in the scuffle. He heard somebody say, "heave him overboard." All this was done within the hearing of Captain Christie. The witness then asked Captain Christie for a boat to put him on board the Glasgow. Captain Christie at first consented to the request, but afterwards refused it, saying, "that as he (Marshall) had found his way there, he might find his way back." In about a quarter of an hour after this, two armed boats came from the Glasgow to the Thomas Coutts. As the boats approached the vessel, Captain Christie and his officers went on deck, and the witness heard the people in the boats threatened if they ventured to come on board. The defendant Phipps appeared to be very active, and frequently communicated with Captain Christie. The evidence of Captain Marshall was corroborated on all the main points; and after Chief Justice Abbott had summed up, the jury found Capt. Christie guilty of obstructing Capt. Marshall in the exccution of his duty, but acquitted him of the assault, and acquitted Phipps altogether. The trial occupied ten hours. MISCELLANEOUS, The Court of Directors have appointed J. Herbert Harington, Esq., a Member of Council at Bengal; and James Butterworth, Esq., a Provisional Councillor. Colonel A. Macdonald, of the Recruiting Department, Westminster, it is understood, will be appointed Adjutant-Gencral at Bengal, vice Sir Thomas M'Mahon, promoted to the rank of Major-General.[Daily Paper. Sir Thos. Bradford, at present on the Staff in Scotland, is to succeed Sir Charles Colville at Bombay.-[Ibid. Lord Combermere, appointed to suc ceed the Hon. General Sir Edward Paget, commander-in-chief of the forces in the East-Indies, embarked in the Thalia, Captain Biden, on the 11th June, with the Hon. Colonel Finch, Military Secretary; Major Dawkins, Major Kelly, and Captain Mundy, aides-de-camp; and in the evening sailed direct for Calcutta. His Majesty has been pleased to direct that three more of the attainted Scotch titles shall be restored; namely, Carnwath, Airlie, and Wemys. The parties claiming are in the lineal descent. Mr. Peel has sent out a commission to Bengal for Major-General Dalzell to take the usual oaths as Earl of Carnwath. The valuable and extensive collection of coins and medals belonging to the late King, which his present Majesty has, with such munificence, bestowed, along with the library, was on the 29th May removed from Carlton House to the British Museum. This magnificent collection fills near 1,500 drawers. An article in the Frankfort Journal, dated Berlin, May 24, states that the two Chinese, who are at Halle, had asked the king's permission to be instructed in the Christian religion. After having received, for ten months, instruction from the Rev. M. Tremann, they were baptized with great solemnity on Ascension-day, before a numerous assembly of the clergy and civil authorities, and on the Sunday following received the Sacrament in St. George's church. His Majesty, the king, was pleased to be sponsor to Osseng, the eldest, and his Royal Highness Prince William, his Majesty's brother, to Abo, the younger of the two.

The usual routine business having been gone through The Chairman (C. Marjoribanks, Esq.) acquainted the Court that it was convened for the purpose of considering a dividend on the Company's capital stock, for the half year, commencing on the 5th of January last, and ending on the 5th of July next. The Court of Directors had agreed to a resolution on this subject, which should be read to the proprietors. The resolution of the Court of Directors, on Tuesday the 21st of June, recommending that a dividend of 54 per cent. should be declared on the Company's capital stock, for the half year, commencing the 5th of January last, and ending on the 5th July next, was then read. The Chairman." I move that the Court agree to the resolution of the Court of Directors." The Deputy Chairman (Sir G. A. Robinson) seconded the motion. Mr. S. Diron said, it was not his intention to call in question the propriety of the amount of the dividend now proposed; on that point, he thought, all would be unanimous. He hoped, in what he was about to say, he would not be deemed impertinent; but he begged to be informed by the Chairman, or by any other old proprietor, whether it had not been the custom, in time past, whenever a war broke out in India, to make some communication to the proprietors on the subject ? He, as a proprietor, knew from the public newspapers that a war was at present raging in India; and he wished to learn, whether it had not been the custom, when a war broke out, to state the fact. He trusted that he possessed a remnant of good sense, which would prevent him from asking any thing in that court which ought not to be made public; but, if the course to which he alluded had prevailed before (namely, a statement to the proprietors that a war had broken out in India, ac companied with so much information as the directors might think fit and proper to publish, with respect to the cause of that war), he trusted it would not be departed from in the present instance....! t The Chairman, I am quite ready to answer the question of the hon. proprietor.
