COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 12. SHiP REGISTERS.— WARD V. DANCY. Mr. Agar moved in this cause, which was highly interesting to the commercial worid, for all order or injunction to annul a certain contract, for the transfer or assignment of a ship now freighted in the Port of London, from the Defendant to the Plaintiff, on the ground of defective papers ami vouchers of sale, for want of the necessary endorsement by the vendor on the certificate of assign- ment. Mr. Leach and Mr. White opposed the mo- tion, on lh ground of practice in the Registry Office, under the Act ot King William 11 Land the Acts of the 24th and 34th of the present King, regulating such transfers; by the last of which the old register was lodged in the proper office, with an endorse on taking out a new register, which required no endorse- ment. The Lord Chancellor, with some warmth, observed, that he Ould not sutler such an important point of practice, although merely a point a practice, to remain longer unsettled, as Air. Agar suggested the danger of seizure of the ship to-morrow, for not hav- in j- her papers perfected hy the endorsement, within the tune limited after the assignment, which had here elapsed. Judgment was deferred till to-morrow morn- BANKRUPTCY, EMBEZZLE-

MiAND OUTLAWRY. EX-PARTE BRIDGES IN THE MATTER OF T. "Lw IS. The whole day was occupied in the discus- sion of this new and unparalleled case. I t -.vas brought on upon the petitions of the Solicitor of the as a. ere/lltor for a sum of 2onl, only, and of some oilier creditor, hy the instigation of the bankrupt, with a view to supersede the commission, on the ground that the bankrupt, MI". T. Lewis, late of Gray's Inn, solicitor, was not a trader as a money- scrivfiier, as described in the commission of bankruptcy, sued out. against him m August last, according to a late decision of the Lord Chancelior, upon this very case, when first b>-<>U'' i)t before him, and some other decisions, to the effect of ruling that an attorney, as such, hy receiving; money from one client and |uuir««- it away, was not a dealer and chap- lnau, getting his living hy money sctveinng. Mr. Lewis, soon after the Commission in Au- gust last, absconded from London to Frnce. with the property of his employers to the ex- tent of 200,0001, less by a sum of 200/. only, without submitting to his commission, taking with him all his accotnpl books and vouchers, by which, in addition to the crime ot embez- zlement, he became a felon aud au outlaw by the Bankrupt Laws. Among the widows and orphans whom he had thus defrauded, it was stated was a Mrs. Mortham, an old lady of 75 years, the whole of whose property, amounting to 37,0001. he had possessed himself, and hadeven threatened with arrest for costs of suit, to the amount of ,1,0001. and other demands alleged to be due to liiiii. Sir Arthur Piggott gave a horrible picture of the Bankrupt's conduct, and contended, from the evidence, that Mr. Bridges, his attor- ney, was only a colourable creditor, and not entitled to any relief. The Lord Chancellor commented in strong terms of indignation upon this case, which he believed was without parallel in that Court. Every practice resorted to in this matter was untenable underlie bankrupt laws; without adverting, however, in any manner to the conduct of Mr. Lewis or his attorney, who, perhaps thought he was acting right, while all in the wrong, as his Lordship might he on the present painful occasion, he considered the proofs against Mr. Bridges were conclusive, to shew that he was acting as the Bankrupt, now precluded from being at all heard in this Court. The system could not impose on any one of common sense, and compliance with the prayer of either of the petitions, would, in the present dreadful inciease of Bankrupt cies, be productive of endless evils. Both Petitions were dismissed with costs.

The long established Banking Firm ofP) lie and Sous, of Bridgewater,have announced their intention to withdraw from business. The I house has recently experienced some heavy t losses, which have led to the determination o'f paying oft every demand, and closing the con- eera. To the report mentioned In some of the Papers of a quarrel having taken place be tween the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Macdonald. we are enabled to give the most positive contradiction. They are living on the best terms. ° Last freek. a young lady and gentleman ar- rived in great haste, at Gretna Green, where they were united in marriage by (he accom- modating character stationed (here for the purpose. The weight of the prize may be in some degree conjectured, when it is added that the gentlemlI paid the supposed parsoii 501. in a Bank of Englaud note, for the trou- ble he was occasioned in tying the nuptial knot. When Bonaparte returned frem Rtmja a General asked, what troops he had brought with him? 11 Ali replied a Parisian, he has none—neither olligeur, Tiraleur, nor Cltas- seur indeed he has nothing but sapeur (sa. peur—tiis 0,'1" I Some short time after this, when in the Lc. gislative Assembly he demanded a new levy of soldiers, a Member asked, Where is that immense army which you last summer led to Russia?" To which Bonaparte replied, in his usual short manner, and abrupt tone, Je Vai"—I have it; which soullds lilicgele- frozen the whole Body burst into laughter, and the Emperor soon after retired in a rage. Scotch Donkies.-Aii anecdote occurs in Newte's Tour in Scotland, of a gentleman ar- riving at Aberdeen with a splendid equipage. He was presently waited on by the official characters of the University to request his ac- ceptance of a Doctor's degree, for which he returned them his sincere thanks, assuring them how sensible he was of the honour done him, and desired to know what fees he had to pay for it. On being informed that it was only three guineas, he took out his purse, and presented them with twice that sum, observiug that half of it he paid for his own degree, and requested that for the other half he might have a degree conferred upon his horse. The University replied, that it was impossible to comply with such a request, because they never conferred degrees upon horses, though they frequently conferred degrees upon asses. Newtoivnards.—There has lived in this neighbourhood, nearly 40 years, in the town. land of Cunningham, a man who was deaf and dumb, of the name of Sam. Duncan, who has worked all that time in flax mills belonging 10 Lord Londonderry. Last week he was a little indisposed, so that he could not attend his work his wife has been in a poor state of health for some years, but was able to walk. Sunday she rose about seven o'clock, and made some tea, of which she drank, and her husband also drank a cup in bed; o lie of her daughters had been up at the same lime, when the mo- ther was advised to go to bed again for an hour, as she said she thought herself a great deal better than she had been for some time before; that her father was betler also. The mother then went to bed again herself; and a little after eight o'clock the daughter went into the room, and found her father and mother breathless corpses, lying in the same bed. As there was 110 sign of animation in either, and both apparently in the situation they lay ctowniu, it is generally thought they haddied about the same time. Lord London. derry has very humanely ordered every thing requisite to a decent interment, to be pro vided at his cost; and they will be carried on one bier to the place of interment. As some workmen were lately digging a road from Burford to Barrington, in Glouces- tershire, they discovered, near the surface of the earth, a stone coffin, of an immense size, and extremely irregular, weighing nearly three tons, which, on examination, was found to contain the perfect skeleton of a man, of mid- dle stature, having his teeth entire, also a great number of short nails, completely oxidated and malted together in pieces of hide, of which materials it is probable a shield was formed — From the size and appearance of this coffin, and from the circumstance of its being found near a place known by the name of Battle Edge, it may he presumed, wiilf much pro- bability, to have been deposited there after the battle, recorded by many of our early his- torians, to have been fought near Burford, aboul the middle of the eighth century, be- tween Eiheiwald, king of Mercia, and the West Saxon king Culhred, orCuihherl,-This relic is deposited in Burford church, for the inspection of the curious. Admiralty Sessions.- Yesterday morning, at It o'clock, the Admiralty Sessions com- menced at the Old Bailey, before Sir Win Scoll, Air. Justice Bayley, and Baron Graham, for trial of offences committed on the high I seas, when Win. Donevan, otherwise Win, Hamilton, a natural bom subject of. this king- dom, was arraigned, charged wilh having de- serted from his Majesty's ship Proserpine, on board of which he was seaman, and afterwards having entered into the service of the enemy, ft appeared, thai on the Proserpine being car- ried iiito (lie harbour of Toulon, Donevan wearing a French dress, accompanied hv some. frenchmen, came oo hoard the Proserpine, and wished to entice several of the witnesses to enler into the service of the enemy. Do- nevan's defence was, that he was fo.ced into the service, and the Learned Jude. after hav. ing summed up the evidence, left Ihe case to She Jury, who returned a verdict of Grdlly- Death. Four Malays, Paujang, Sootoo, Mootlie, aud La-den, were convicted of mur- dering Antonio de Costa, on board the Go- vernor HaNes. on the 9th of November, 1813, off tiie Cape of Good Hope. They were also convicted of the murder of Joseph Kater Ma- dicna. A Female Warrior.—An instance of a fe- male having devoted herself with uncommon zeal to the perils of milifary life, has lately occurred in titecase of Sarah Taylor, a middle- acd woman, who applied for relief to the Church wardens at Manchester on Friday last. It appears that when a girl, she was in the hauit. of wearing boy's clothes, iu which dresi she served her father, Wm. Roberts, (who is a bricklayer) as a labourer jaud being tall' of her age, when about 14 years old, shc enliSted as a soldier into the 15th light 'dragoons*— Probably her extreme youth and heaHhf ap- pearance might occasion a laxity of attention, for she passed muster without her sex being discovered. In the course of two months, she learned her exercise sufficiently for all the purpose of parade, the rough riding-master declaring her the best rider in the squad of re cruits wilh whom she wa-s taught, which she imputes to the circumstance of having been used to mount, undaunted, to the top of high buildings, when attending on her father. She remained with the 15lh light dragoons, in which she progressively attained the ranks of corpora! and serjeant, for 21 years; her sex 11 the tiii)e reiiiai iiii" a a secret to every one. Perhaps the care she was under of guarding it, had the good effect of producing that re- gularity and orderly conduct which recom- mended the pretended "WiHiam Roberts," (for such was the name she assumed) to the favour and protection of Ihe officers, and pro- cured her promotion. When she hud been a soldier 21 years, the Colonel of the regiment tendered her discharge which she demurred the acceptance of, but, being under size, by her consent, she was transferred to the 37th regiment of foot, which regiment she joined in 1800, at the island of St. Vincent's, in the West Indies,, wbcre, 591un after, she was taken seriously ill (for the first time in her military career) of the yellow fever, when wanting p some of those attentions which would invari- ably lead to a discovery of her sex, she was obliged to intrust the secret she had so well kept to the wife of a icrjeatit, at a time she expected nothing but death. She, however, recovered, and having no longer even a nomi- nal claim to manhood, she was obliged to resume feminine habiliments; but still ena- moured of a military life, as she could no longer be a soldier herself, she became, in. 1804, the wife of one, a private in the 37th foot, of the name of Taylor, by whom the Amazon has since had three children; still following the fortune of war through various climates during which she was, with her hus- band, two years in a prison in France, from which they were released in July last, in con- sequence of the peace. On the day she land. ed from the cartel, her husband died, and this martial heroine is now a widow, still anxious as she says, to follow a camp, as the most I pleasant life of which she can conceive. In | the course of her military cereer, she has vi- | sited many distant parts of the globe, and has I been iu many actions and received several I wounds, which, however, were not severe. and were in parts of her body which did not and were in parts of her body which did not betray her sex. A scar from a sabre which. i graces her head, and the mark where a tilus. ket oall was extracted from her leg, are ho- lIollrable testimonials of her service; but she says thaI the two years she spent in' a French prison were far more difficult to support, and did her constitution more injury than her voyages to the East. and West Indies, her march from the Red Sea through Egypt, or her campaigns in Flanders, in Spain, and in Italy. She is in hopes of obtaining the pen- sion allowed to soldiers for 10110" an d faithful services. The proper testimonials, it is said, are sent up, to be laid before the Commander in Chief, in order to attain it, as well as to procure the arrears of her husband's pay, which had accumulated whilst ha was ia the French prison.

BONAPARTE. Extract oflt Letter from Porto Ferrajo. We left Leghorn yesterday morning, and arrived here early this day. The British Con- sul at Leghorn, on whom we had to call to have our passports signed for Elba, shewed us a letter from the Consul at Naples, stating that the Dey of Algiers had declared war against Napoleon, and ordered his cruisers to capture all vessels sailing under Bonaparte's flag, and above alllhings to seize, if possible, the persun of the Emperor. At landing here, we waited on the Governor, who gave us po- sitive orders not to go to Longano, a town at the other end of the island, where we propos- ed to embark for the Continent, but to go to Piombino the first opportunity, and that if we left the town on any other occasion, he would have us arrested and sent to prison.— We waited on Colonel Campbell, the British Resident, who immediately wrote to General Bertram!, the confidant of Buonaparte, which had the effect to procure us permission to go where we pleased-and tomorrow we are to set out for Longano, where the Emperor now is. This town and harbour are the prettiest I have ever seen. In making the port, you first discover the fortifications and one or two houses—then you sail round a point of land into the harbour, which is sheltered on all sides by the hills, the town gradually rising behind the fortifications, which arc immensely strong; and above all is the Empei*>r's house, liow full of workincii. We saw many of the Imperial Guards here, who followed the for- I tunes of their Master, and, iu my life, I never saw finer men. Mr. ll- asked one of them how he liked the place. He grumbled much and said that nothing was cheap here but fish and wine, as all the meat must come from Piombino. Napoleon rises every morning at four, rides, reads, or walks all day, and goes to bed every evening at eight o'clock. When he first came here, he gave a grand ball to all the shopkeepers in the town, as without them lie could have no society. Every Sun- day lie has four of these people to dine with hid), and seems very affable, and, in general, in tolerable spirits. He still retains the Im- perial Eagle, but has taken for his colours a white grollnd, wilh a red stroke running dia- gonally through it. on which there arc three 6 1 t, gold bees, emblematic of industry, The pas- sage from Leghorn was most delightful. We li.id in succession, fine views of the Alps, Ap- peuines, Corsica, Elba, aud Italy, during the whole voyage. We rode to Longano this morning—the dis- t, t, tance is only eight miles. The road is hilly, hut remarkably good, having been made by Z, order of Napoleon, and commands the finest '1')' views imaginable. On the top of one of ihe hills we met the Emperor! drawn in an open carriage, by four horses. He sal by himself at one side, and two of his Staff at the other. He was dressed in a plain dark coloured coat, and had on a small cocked hat; He is very like the print you have of him at full.length, with his arms toided,except that he is one of the largest men across the shoutders I have ever seen. I-le is very ftill In the face. and of a deep yellow complexion. He made us a I low bow as we passed, and kissed his hand, as is his custom. He had ahout eight at- tendants, as mot lev a crew as I ever saw I Mamelukes, officers and privates. On our arrival here, we were waited on by the Eng. lish Consul and Vice-Consul, accompanied I by the Mayor. They inquired if we were the English Gentlemen ordered off the Island, and on our answering that we were, they snid that they were commanded by the Emperor to acquaint us, that he had heard last night of what had happened at Porto Ferrajo, and had sent off two Expresses to the Governor, re- proving him for his conduct, and ordering him to give us every assistance in his power.— He had also left directions with the Consul and Mayor, to attend us on our arrival, and to have two horses saddled, to conduct us to the mines, or where we pleased. After taking some refreshment with the 1.1ayor, who gave us a pass to any part of the island, we pro- ceeded towards the mine. Our horses were very near as large as asses, and our saddles as big as wool-packs: however, being well trained, they carried us very respectably up the mountain. J never saw in my life, or could have supposed there was a country of which there might be so much made-lull ot vegetation, having every advantage, good soil, incomparable cliinale, strong fortifica- tions, exceileut iron mines, and a population of about 12,000 souls. The country where the mine is, appears like a looking-glass. as the ore is all on the surface, and sparkles as bright as possible, when the sun shines. It y ields iron, sulphur, steel, and loadstone, sam- ples of which I have procured.—You may es- timate the richness of the ore by the fact that 1001b. produces 751b. of iron of the hest qua- lity. The Emperor has a house near the mines, at which he breakfasts, altogethei as large as one of my drawing-rooms, and that divided into a parlour, bed room, and study, resembling, hy the daubing paint upon it, a puppet shew more than the Palace ofaa Em- peror, litit the miners think it magnificent.— After getting samples of the ore, we returned to Longano, where our worthy Consul and the Mayor had a dinner prepared for us, not at the hotel, for it is not a goad one, but a private house, consisting of soup, boiled fowl, stewed fowl, roast fowl, and sallad, with most excellent wine. Our host was about six feet and a half high, having on neither coat,waist- coal, cravat, nor shoes, but with a queue of enormous length, attended us so far as giving us places, and then placed himself at the head of the table."
