On Tuesday last the Civil Court adjourned to Monday dext (tomorrow).
By the Lady Barlow we have the satis-
faction to hear that the Mah.atta War has been long since at an end, and that the good understanding re established between the Company's Officers and the Native Princes is not likely to be again easily shaken.
The only disagreeable circumstance con- sequent on the terrible gales encountered by the Lady Barlow was the loss of her cattle. After her arrival within the Heads we are concerned to state, that to her previous losses was added that of the fine Arab horse, the value of whicn is said to have been conside- rable.
The Governor King, belonging to Messrs. Kable and Underwood, stated in last week's Paper to have arrived the preceding evening, brought up a valuable cargo, consisting of about 3000 skins, and 30 tons of elephant oil. She encountered much bad weather, and sorne very heavy squalls, in one of which the vessel and cargo narrowly escaped being driven on shore on the Westem Point, King's Island. The weather very tempestuous, she let go her best anchor, which instantly broke from the ring. The second was accordingly let go, but not holding, every exertion of skill became necessary to keep her off the rocks, the sea at the time breaking furiously over her. It afterwards appeared that the second anchor had snapped short above the fl.ke, and thereby became useless. Mr. Moody afterwards saw the Integrity, but soon lost sight of her in a tremendous hurricane.
She left the Scorpion whaler, Captain Dagg, in Seal Bay, looking out for elephant, seal, and whale.
The John, Chace, is unfortunately ashore in the Straits upon a sand beach, but every thing saved, and every effort making to get her off, which we hope will be effected.
