[May I, 
on his way to join his ship at Plymouth. 
According to letters found in the pocket of 
the-deceased, love, and a quarrel with his 
rival, whom he had refused to fight, added to 
the dread of being deemed guilty of cowardice, 
induced him to the rash act. The Coroner’s 
Jury, pronounced a verdict of fe/e de se, and 
on the foliowing day his body was interred 
according to the form of law in such cases. 
He borea very fair character, and was heldin 
the highest esteem by his brother officers, 
some of whom, immediately on hearing of 
the fatal disaster, went express from Ply- 
mouth, to Exeter; -but unfortunately the 
verdict had passed before their arrival, other- 
wise, we may reasonably suppose, their evi- 
dence wou:d have occasioned a° material 
alteration in the opinion of the jurors; for 
they testified in the must positive terms, that 
the deceased had for a long time past been 
much disordered in his mind, in consequeace 
of some private troubles. 
CORNWALL. 
There is a prospect of Polgooth mine going 
to work again. She is certainly rich, and tin 
is indemand. The copper lode lately dis- 
covered near Padstow, ranks among the most 
extraordinary ever known in Cornwall. The 
ore lies within a yard of the surface, and is 
very fine. 
A case has commenced in the court of 
chancery—the prince of Wales v. sir Jahn 
St. Aubyn, which has sprung froma claim 
made by his royal highness, as duke of 
Cornwall, to the lands below high-water 
mark in the whole of the river Tamer,which 
embraces the whole of Hameaze and the 
port of Plymouth. These, belonging to the 
honour and manor of Trematon, one of the 
greatest royalties in the country, constitute 
the most prominent feature of the ducal dig- 
nity. They were granted by Edward III. in 
parliament, to the Black Prince, the first 
duke of Cornwall; in whose grant all the 
properties of the duchy of Cornwall are de- 
clared to be inalienable, indissoluble, and in- 
separable, from the duke, at any time, or in 
any shape, or manner, by the crown, or any 
other power whatsoever. It is the object of 
his royal highness to rescue his duchy from 
all usurpations by which it may have been 
impaired, and to preserve it inviolate for the 
benefit of himself and successors. 
is one of greater importance, from the value 
of the property disputed, than was, perhaps, 
ever discussed in a court of justice.
