The Martha Ellen, -which sailed from this port about a fortnight, ago, bound for Hobart.Towri, put back on Saturday, in consequence of the'death of the captain's brother, and of the very heavy weather which she encountered since the date of her departure. She'left'immediately before the outbreak of the recent gale, and though—through the illness and death of his' brotlrer, and the: continued head winds, the captain put back with the intention of reaching Port Oteßo—lie was several-times driven off rtie coast, and was only able to make up the Port yesterday, when the vessel anchored at Otaheitl Point The funeral takes place to-day or to-morrow, when the remains will be brought ashore, for intr-rment in the Port Chalmers burying-ground. The barque Benjamin Heape, from Melbourne, made the Heads on Saturday, but has been prevented from coming up by the wind prevailing from the 3.W. There are some other sail in the neighborhood of the Heads; names unknown. Several of the vessels which had been detained by the "ale of la&t week, and by getting on the bank, sailed on Saturday, and the number of arrivals having lately been s>mall, the harbor is rather clear of shipping. Captain James, of the Salcombe Castle, which sailed on Saturday, informs us that the schooner Pole Star, of which his brother is commander, had left Auckland for ' Napier, nnd had been, at the date of his last advices, been eighteen days out without being heard of. Tha Pole Star had a number of passengers on board : anil, on account of her protracted absence, considerable anxiety was being felt ns to their safety. Several cases connected with the shipping interest have lately been heaul'at the lles-'iflpnt. Mnei< =trn.fp'= Court, Port ChclmeiP. On l'iK;y. fm> jpim.i.' who had been booked as pas.feiif.c-is by the Daniel WatsoDjbouiid for Sydney,sued Mpssis. Guthiie&Co for L2O in each case, ai damages sustained by breach of contract, ii.asmuch as, though they were bockedto Bail by that vessel, they did not obtain a pnssaj. c. It appeared that six passengers hnd been booked in excess of the legitimate number, nnd that the men who sued had been put'on shore on thnt account, when the vessel was visited by the Clearance Officer. Mr. Wilson, solicitor, was agent for the defence, and elicited from the, first plaintiff tliat Mr. Guthrie had offered the party a passage to Sydney by another vessel, or to sendthem to Melbourne, and pay their faies thence to Sydney. • The magistrate gave credit to Mr. Guthrie for" what he ,bad ,done in this way, but held that there hiid,, nevertheless,' ,been n breach of contract. nnd ordered-the restitution of the pas>sagc-raoney, L 4 10s!, in four cases, with L2loa. for loss of time, and L 2 10s. for contingent damages, or L 9 10s. in all, exclusive of the costs of Court. In the fifth case, the plaintiff had got his passage for L 3, in consequence of his poverty, and therefore received only LB. Another passenger byjhejjaine vessel, booked by Mr. T. Norton, sued. Mr. "Norton for damages sustained in tbe same way.'-Mr. Wilson's defence for Mr. Norton was that, according to the contract ticket, the liability rested with the captain and owners of the vessel, for whom Mr. Norton was only an.agent. The magistrate overruled • the -objection, and Mr. Wilson urged the other objection—that the sending of the plaintiff'ashore had been distinctly the act of the captain nnd owners, Mr. Norton's employers, and not his"; and it was impossible to hold that, for the acts of a principal, an agent should be made responsible. The magistrate, however, held his court to be one to be guided by equity and conscience, rather than strict legality ; and, considering an injustice would be done the plaintiff, ordered payment of L 9 10s., being the amount of his passage and damages?,' assessed at the same rate as in the previous cases. After the decision. Mr. Norton asked of the Bench how he was to be guided in the construc.tion\.6f. his contract-tickets. After sustaining: .loss to some amount in a case at Dunedfri.',pe nad teen 'recommended to sign as agent only; /ofcjpap'iain' aid owners, or. whoever might be hisi principals"; but the ""recommendation of the one Court was overruled by the.decision of the;other, and there was no.sayin'giiow, often;»'the : same might hap-; pen. /r-tPhe magistrate -recommended him,- on' that poinfc/itotakelega'Lndyice:: his decisions could not be boundjby/thbse of any other Court, and such was his decisiori'in this case.: ■ .'i , ..v; ;
