" Through the great .exertions of Lieutenant Colonel Sir THOMAS SAVMAREZ, in collating the pilots and boatmen in the vicinity of Rau:pains, about thirty feamen and marines were taken off the Rock of the HAnnois at day light, which I fear are the whole that have been laved.

SaturclaY, Wilham Hart was indiaed fear Moitionfly Reeling, on the 24th of November, 348 penny pieces Value sus. the monies of WM. Gtainger-4ndther count in the indittment laid the manna as the prch petty of Wm. Hall. It appeared in evidence. that the profectitor, Grainger, is a brevet's drayman—that on the aboVe mentioned day, about fuur o'clock, he was deliver ing a calk of beer at a chandler's (hop in Spitalfields. The prifoner, while Grainger was fo engaged, ad vanced to the dray, and with a knife cut off the padlock, which famed the box, a till attached to the dray, and in which the money t eceived by the dray man was depofited, he immediately threw the pad luck into an adjoining piece of wade ground, and returned inflantly to the dray, when he opened the till and took a bag our, which appeared to be heavy, as he nfed Loth hands to fupport it. He then eroded the Area with his prey, which he depofited fomewhere, and returned to the feene of action again; this luccefsful mantruvring. of the prifoner was defcribed by the principal witnefs, Mary Prielt, who obferved the tranfaftion from an oprofite win. dow. The profecutor, on coming out of the chats diet's (hop, (hortly sniffed his money, and naturally made an outcry ; feveral perfirns were collated about the fpct, and a woman, the above mentioned witnels, told him the prifoner had taken his money, on which he ran up and collared him, laying he had his money. On which tie prifoner uttering tome flunking langnage, knocked him down. The pro fecutor however again attempted to fecure him, but the prifoner drew out a knife, and obliging him to della. he then got away. The allitiabce of Grif fiths, the Gilinr. was recurred to, but he fought for the prifoner in that quarter in vain. He faun after wards heard of his being lodged in the Conquer, un lune other charge ; the padlock was found in the place where the woman defcribed it had been thrown —it was identified by Grainger, as that belorging to the dray ; the money was never recuverer'. The pity immediately prow unced the prifoner Guilty. After which, Griffiths, the officer, info, flied the Court, uhlt the convict was one of the molt no torious pickp ckets in all London. and that he bad been engaged in fuck pladdces ever (iota he was a br. y. Yellet day William lianfon was capitally indiBed for dealing in a dwelling houfe thirty ye: ds Of brown Holland, and twenty yards of cotton, value 31. the goods of Meffis Meyer and hlegu, army clothiers, of Margaret-flrect, Cavendifh-fipiare, nn the 12:h of November lad ; and John Smith was indicted feu receiving the fame, knowing them to be liolen. The ptiloner Hanlon had been an 'apprentice to , the prolecutors for above lix years. They had miffed goods from lime to time, and in confequence ~f a private letter :risen a neighbour of theirs, a Mr. Ito hitt Smith, to whom the prifOner had offered fume leather for fele. their frifricions turned upon him, and he was charged with difh .nefty. He at fill affleted to be highly offended, firm the lenfe of fo much injury his chataaer ; but. on being called into a private rocm by Mr. Virgo, and finding Mr. Smith was in the houfe to confront him, he laid "he would e .nfefs all if that old rogue was gone." Mr. Smith went away, and the prifoner then con felled lie had been for a confiderable time pall rob bing his mailers at different times of various articles, and that he from time to time fold thole articles, greatly below their value, to John Smith, the other prifoner, who was a piece broker in Bedfordbury, and a men of conliderable opulence. A ( - catch war rant was obtained ; and Mr. Meg°, accompanied by Hamilton, the police Laker, of Matlborough- Itreet, went to the houfe of Smith, and there found the goods charged in the indiament, but divided in various pieces. The prifoner Hanlon, without any prnmife of mercy, figned a confellion of his guilt before the Magittrates at Matlborough-flreet, and laid that he had fold goods to Smith, within the pseceding month, to the amount of above 401. The goods produced in Court were identified by Melts. alegn and Meyer ; and a model of a door and win dow exhibited, to (hew the ltratagem by which Han fon had contrived io effect his plunder, and elude the vigilance of his mallets. Hanlon, in his defence, laid, that he made the con legion on the promife of being admitted an evidence againll Smith. The Rsfmtnea lamented that in this cafe, altho' the guilt of both was palpable, and that of the re• ceiver much greater than that of the thief, yet the indictment could not be fully fuflained by the evi dence. The whole value of the articles fworn to was but 31. they were all divided into greater or la fer pieces, and there was no proof that there was ft..len, at any one time, to the amount of forty &I li:Ts—confequently the capital part of the charge, as againd Hanlon, was done away, although the proof was fufficient to convict him of larceny. And with refrat to Smith, whom he confidered the greater criminal of the two, as a receiver and encou rager of fuch robberies. the only proof againd him under this indillment was the confelii.m of Hanlon, net taken upon oath, and therefore he could not he convicted. It was to he lamented that ctiminals like him fo frequently eicape jullice, through an ea gernels ti) convie the principal; whereas the true maxiui for the ends of jultice and the preventiln of crimis would be, " let a knave to catch a knave ;" and always to admit the thief as an evidence againd the receiver. by which means their mutual confidence would he broken down. The July found Hanfon guilty of the larceny, and acquitted Smith. Elizaloak Brown and Mary Matib were indicted for Realine fe,eral antient gold coin,, the property of Mr. Shuter, of Curfitot-ltreet, and (.rey, was indieled for receiving the fame, knowing them to be flolen. The prifoner Brown had been entrulled a ith the care of Mr. Artist's haute in his abfence, and on his return the ..-nins were milling, and a fulpicion fell upon the ptifoner. On keing apprehended, the eon, (cited the whole, and gave up the other prifoner Mar lh, as an accatry, and Grey as the receiver. It appeared, however, that fome inducement had been held out to the prifoner Brown to make this confer lion. The Rscoanva, therefore, would not permit it to he read in evidence; obferving, that if a oinfelli •n of this kind wa• obtained either from a hope being held otit that the thould not be ptaccutee, or front Hie inti , rettee of terror, it could not be received as evidence. THe impreffion on the Prifcrner's mind feasted to havi-been that the would be made ufe 01 only as a witners, and fhe teemed rather to be an in Hutment that had fallen into had hands. The Jury were therefore obliged to atquit all the three prifnner , . After the trial Mr. Le Gr ice, a refiner, to wham fame of the coins had been told by Grey, anted the Court whether he was to have any temuneration fur delivering them up ? The RITCORDSIt laid, " Certainly not. Na man of common fenfe or huritfly could buy fuch things from a journeyman fhoemaker." Lawrence Teary was charged with !telling, nn the 2d of November. a bandbox, value id. contaihing two gowns, value .sos. five pairs of ilockings, value 7s, and other articles, laid at the property of John Penthole. The circumflances of this cafe were briefly as fol low :—The profecutor, it appears, keeps an errand cart,and plys from Beckingham in Kent, to London. On the day abovetnentioned, he left his cart.for a few minutes in the Haymarket, while he went into the Opera H. life Tap. The prifoner was leen by one of the witneffes, Moles, a fcavenger's man, in company with another pet fon, much younger than himfelf. They Rood within a few yards of the cart : the younger man advanced, got op into the cart, took out the box laid in the indiament, gave it to the prifoner, run off himfelf, and the prifoner walked away leifurely with the booty. The witnefs ab ve mentioned law this tranfaaion ; he inflantly qu:rted his own cart, fulloaed the prifoner, laid hold of him and laid, " You have got Tome pr.-Terty tbat does not belong to you, come along with me." The prifoner anfwered, " I flWitt run away ;" to which the witnefs rejoined, " take care yr. lha'nt."— He then took him into the Opera Houle tap room, and gave the b-x to the prof - center, who intiantly reengnifed it alone he had charge of. It was ditaled to a Lady at George Box's, Elq. Brunfwick fquare. An officer was fent f .r, to whom the prilonee and the box were both delivered. The pi ifonet (who fecmed to be a thnr , ugh pacer) raid in his defence, that he was at fome dillance from the cart, when a young man c tme up, and, giving him the box, begged lie would tAke it fir hint AS far as Suffolk dicer, whither he was proceeding when the witnefs Moles flopped him. • The Jury had no helltAtion in finding him Guilty. Mr. Cost 140 N &SPANS' Commended the fpit it And allivity of the witnefi Moles. Sarah Smith was chatged with felonionfly Healing, on the 13th of N , vembar, a gold hioach, value los. a flirt and a 'hilt, two handkerchiefs, Once caps, and miter at t ides, the property of William King'ley. The princip,l witnels in this cafe was Mrs. King. flew, the wile of the prosecutor, whu is a pawnbroker in Carnaby Street, G. lden Square. Verdi& 6uiti . y.—The cot if.ner is a remarkably fine and well fumed ynung woman. Frederic Conrad. the fon r f a German, was convic ted of Healing a law. It was found on the perfon (lithe prifoner. The defence was, that he had been deaf and dumb fince his childhood, and was at vari ous limes fo mentally afTetted, as to be reduced to a Hate of apparent idiocy. The wit nell:s for the profeention pofilively fwore, that he fpnke to them at the rime he was apprehen ded ; whilft it was depofed by his father and two other perlims, that they never heard him (peak a tingle word fince his childhood, and that tie was fo deaf as not to hear the Tower guns, though aelnally taken to the fpnt, and placed immediately contiguous to one at the gulls, at the time t;f its being fired off. However, it was pi frively fworn on the profecution, that he had fpoken, and the cunning of the prifoner, in hiding the law between his j icket and his thirt, was alio a thong point in his criminal ion. Brids.l Conol'y flo 'el c tpitally indifled burglati. curly Healing leveral articles of wearing apparel, the property of various perfons, in the dwelling twat of John Kennington, no the tgth of November lilt. Mary Henley depofed, that on the day mentioned in the indictment, the had been engaged in writhing the articles flolen, the then gave them to her fellow fervant, for the purpcfe of hanging them upon a line in the bed room of tl.e w irnef,. W .eli her fellow fervant took them up, the brought down the key of the dam to the witnefs ; about eleven o'clock that night, when putting the key into the door, the found it open to her hand, and tha: it had been forced ; the things were taken away ; and witnefs gave an alarm w her mailer. On her eras examination, by Mr. BARRY, it ap peared that this houfe was let nut in various tet►e. ments, and that the prifoner at the bar and her but band, an induftrions hard working man, refided in one apartment. There were a number of percents who had accers to the room in which the clothes were placed. Peggy Isl43rath corroborated the Ilatement rela the to the clothes ; but the I( t cososa remarked, there was a VATIAIi:n between her evidence then, and the flatement fhc mule at the time of lodging her infrrmari• n before the Magidrate. Several other witnettcs were called, hut nothing was proved, attaching any criminality to the prifoner. The poor creature denied politively the charge againll her; and %fretted, that the witnefs, Henley, had menaced her with this profecortion, becanf.: the prifoner had acquainted a relation of hers, whom Henley was courting, that the had a holband at lea. The Jury, withr u! hsfitation, acquittsd the pri Contr.

REV. ROWLAND HILL ON VACCINE INO4 CU LATION. Missal Patrersas—Since the utilitY and fectuirf of the Cnw Pock Inv ciliation has, by the etprefs comb mand of the Sovereign, now received the fullefl con. firmation imaginable, from the united teliimonies every medical and fingical fociety b!longing to the United Kingdom ; and lince the Legit!alive Body have voted fuch an ample reward to the refpetiahld Phyfician who had the happinefs to introduce the dircovery, it were a mere Waite of time to produce another argument in its dcfer.ce. Let all its refit oppofers bligh with thame for what they have Paid, figs their recantation, and go and fin no more. On an early day after this molt beneficial difcovery, from mere prirciples of humanity, I gave it the turnoff countenance and publicity in my power, , — Brillol partook if a (hare of thele my attempts, and on fme former vifits to this city, ayplied the pro. idling lancet with the Cow pock virus to many hun• dick ; while, at the fame time, I did all in my power to advife the poor to accept the homane offer from the Difpenfary of gratuitous vaccination to all who chufe to apply. One would have foppoied, that filch a liberal pro pnial would have immediately banifhed the Small Pox from the City ; but on this my Tall vifit, I dif. covered jun the reverie. From having rriPtiy frefh applications, but no vaccine virus, that proved effiea• cious, I applied in the gentlemen of that excellent Inllitution for their affiflance, which was very readily granted ; and I was fur 'nixed to find, that they had but one patient under the vaccine inoculation ; and that at times, they found it a difficulty to keep it in exittence from week to week, and that nothing was found to quicken their applicwions, till after come viaims by the savages of the Small Pox compelled them to leek for that proteCtion they had fo luau tinufly neglsfled before. Having thus availed myfelf of the all iance of the Difpenfary, I was immediately determined to make another attack • n the Hill exitling prejudices of the people ; and after tome pointed and firm -4 recom mendations r , n the falmary effeels of ♦accination, I was happy to find that no lets than 720 fubjefts were added to my former lilt. Now it appears from hence, that peculiar exertions may Qin be attended with peculiar effeas, and it is well worthy the confideration of the public, how the lives of the common people. (in whom alone the ilreng.h of our nation confiit•) may be preferved faoni Ealing a facrifice to this ;heir fatal neglect. While vaccination has been In decidedly lane tioried both by Royal and Legiflative Authority, fhould not all orders and degrees of fociety exert themfelv:s to promote its general propagation ? Might it not be attended with very efficacious con. fequence., if all the Bithops were to recommend it to all their Clergy to be its advocates from the pul pit, and its promoters in every parifh ? Would not Push exertions as thefe infpire the like loidable zeal among Diftenters of every denomination ? After this, at what a t►itiing expence might not the Churchwar dens and nverteers appoint gratuitous inoculator. in every patilh ? and are not all enagiftrates and bodies corporate bound in duty to ant in Inch efforts by their au.hotily,and to put in force thole lawsalready exiaing (if not too inefficacious and obfidete) againft fuch mercenary and defigning men, who have now no more creole for planting in any parifh the coma gious difeafe of the Small Pox, than others have to propagate the Yellow Fever or the Plague and if Magittrates Humid find the prefent exifting laws too weak for their purpofe, tan a doubt be admitted that theLegiflative Body, from their views of vaccination, under proper information, would lend their aid? Alas, that our own country, the firft in the difcovery of this merciful proteCtion. fhould be the laN in exerting itfelf, as other nation• have done, fo as to render it as widely extended as it is beneficial and fafe I In no place is the Smallpox more fatal than in the confined and narrow courts and avenues of the city of l% iltol ; and I am it formed, that difeafe is at this time again beginning to make its ravages among its inhabitants. What a noble opportunity is now before them to make filch efforts, as might fet an example to all the kingdom; by immortalizing their chataller, already famed f.r their benevolent inititutions, by the promo ion of the difcovery of the immortal Jen ner, whereby millions throughout the Univerfe have been fnktched from an untimely grave.
