Moin""' ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDFORD, AUGUST 21. Andrea Leslie was indicted for maliciously setting fire to the house of Alexander Walker, at Bermondsey.— The Jury having heard the evidence, after a few minutes consideration, returned a verdict of Not Guilty; the Foreman adding, that the Jury did not consider the man to have been in his right mind at the time. John Fisch was indicted for stealing a pocket-book, and two sovereigns, from the person of John Henry Frederick de Dampierre, on the 30th June. The prosecutor stated, that on the day mentianed in the indictment, he and a party of a dozen, after dining at Cumberland Gardens, proceeded to Vauxhall Gar. dens, where he lost his pocket-book. He did not exactly k row the time when he lost it, but his pocket had been cut and the book gone. He immediately spoke to Hall, the officer. The pocket-book contained two sovereigns, and a blank cheque, with other memorandums. .Robert Hall is an officer ; he heard of several rob belles having. been committed in the gardens, and was on the look out ; Mr. Dompierre came to him at the time that the prisoner was in custody ; the witness desired the prisoner to walk into a little room called the Treasury, which he did, Mr.Dompierte accompanying them. He then searched him, and found upon him three or four sovereigns and a guinea and silver ;and Cave, a fellow officer, produced a blank cheque from his coat pocket ; upon which Mr. Dompierre said, "That is my cheque; don't shew it me, for I can tell you the number," and the number that he stated (866) he believed was the number of the cheque. The prosecutor then exclaimed, that he had taken a valuable purse, which he would give five guineas for. The prisoner said that he knew uothing aLont it, and that with respect to the cheque he would explain it some other time. The prisoner was then called upon for his defences He addressed the Court neatly as follows:—" My Lord, and Gentlemen of the Jury, this is a charge of which I am as innocent as the child unborn. I had been going to another part of the gardens when I found the cheque, which I picked up, as any person might have done." He had very little to say as to -Mr. Dompierre's evidence, except as to the mistake that that Gentleman had made with respect to the number of the cheque.-lle had been reared, 'as he might say, in the lap of afilaence, and after serving for twenty years in an honourable profes sion, was it to be sppposed that he could be 60 mean, so despicable, so low as to descend to pick pockets, more especially in so public a place, where every eye was upon him, and where it was impossible to escape? It made his blood run cold. Again he would ask, if he had been guilty would he have kept the cheque, apiece Of paper quite valueless.? Would he not rather have instantly thrown it away, if, as had been represented,. he was a hardened offender? To their verdict he looked ; it would either enable him once more to hold up his head before all the world, nr blast him for ever. Mr. Justice kluaaaucur summed up at some length ; and the Jury, after consulting together for a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict or Guilty; but they never theless expressed some doubts on the subject, and therefore recommended him to mercy. His Lordship, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, said be had no doubt as to the propriety of the verdict. He perfectly knew wAo he was, and he thought he could not do better, in order to remove him from his present companions, than transport him for fourteen ye rts. AUGUST Ceorge eregory, the boy who was committed for the murder of his tattier, was admitted to bail in two sure ties of 30/. each, to appear at the next Assizes, iu con sequence of the absence of a material witness, who was detained by a dangerous foyer. John Macdonald, aged 44, was found Guilty of sacri legiously stealing from the church of St. Cambei well, carpeting, a plated crown and mitre, &c. ou the Y3d of June--i)eada. DURHAM, AUGUST to. Thome tftclusqn, a pitman, aged 22, was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Henry Curry. on the 12th April. The prisoner pleaded 4 , Not Guilty." Mr. WIGHTMAN read the indictment, and Mr. HOLT conducted the case for the prosecution.—Thc ptisoner and deceased had been chinking together at a public. house, and aiterwaids quarrelled, and made an attack upon the landlord of the house with sticks and pokers, in which affray deceased received a blow which killed him. The Jury, without retiring, found the prisoner Guiky of Manslaughter•—The Learned Judge, in passing sen tence, told the ptisoner that the ungovernable passion which the evidence proved to be the constant inmate of his breast, rendered it necessary that for his own pre servation, and also for the preservation of the lives of the more peaceable members of the community, that he should be sent from this country. He sh.u►ld there in, e sensence him to be transported beyond the sea for the space of fourteen years. EXETER, AUGUST , 20. • TVillutnt Marshall was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Taylor, by striking her on the head with a shovel. The prisoner's child haedied, and the deceased volun tarily assisted during its illness, and passed some reflec tions upon the prisoner, as to his want of expedition in procuriug some leeches, which the prisoner heating, he rushed to an out-house, seized a shovel, pursued, and struck the deceased, and killed her on the spot. Drs. Miller, Collins, and Daniel, three Physicians who were in Court, gave it as their opinions, after hearing theevidence, that the primmer was decidedly insane when be committed the act. Mr. Baron GA KUM. in his summing up, seemed to entertain a strong opinion as to the sufficiency of the evidence to make out the inanity of the prisoner when he committed the act. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict—Not Giulia, on the ground of insanity. The prisoner was removed in custody, to be detained in prison during his :Majesty's pleasure, HEREFORD, AUGUST is. Thomas Williams, a farmer residing at Welsh New ton, was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying his servant boy, William Dickens, by throwing a stone at him, which inflicted a mortal wound on his head. Ann Dickens, widow, the aged mother of the de ceased, stated, the he was sixteen years of age, and in the employ of the prisoner ; on the evening of the La. of April last, the deceased came home, and cried very much ; he had A deep wound on his head, and the collar and bosom of his shirt were covered with blood.; the deceased told her that he and the prisoner were at plough its a. field, and at the end, of the furrow the horse got his foot over the trace, and that tha prisoner took up a stone and flung it at him (the boy), which struck him on the head, and he was so stunned that he could not tell if he fell or not; witness kept the boy at home that night;, and next day took him before a Ma gistrate. and obtained a summons against the prisoner, who on the following day, appeared before a Bench of Magistrates. The prisoner admitted that befittag the ' stone, but. said. that he iotended to have thrown it at. the horse, and.t,be nagistrates gecommended .tbe deceased to go back to his miser. He did.so,..and .on:Stinday. the 45th of April, he came horse again, and complained of a violent pain in his head. Witness examined the injury, and discovered a wound as large as an egg. She found his head in a dteadiul state.—(The witness was here unable to articulate, her distress was so exces sive).—She sent twice for medical assistance, but could not obtain it. On the Friday following, witness took the deceased to the Monmouth Dispensary, but was told by Mr. Holbrook, the surgeon, that she must get a re commendation from a subscriber before he could exa mine the boy. She after wards got a recommendation, and she obtained medicines and ointment on the fol lowing Saturday, but the head of the deceased was not examined by any medical man. On Tuesday, the 4th of May, the boy expired. Other witnesses were examined to the above facts.— On cross-examination, one of them said he was present before the Magistrate when the prisoner was examined. The prisoner said in his defence that he took up a clod of soil to throw at the horse, because it would not turn round at the end of the fui row, and there was a stone inside the clod, which he was not aware of at the time, which strnsk the boy. On that occasion, the Magi.' grates aska the boy if the prisoner threw the stone at him or at the horse? The boy replied, 44 He threw the stone at the horse." Messrs. LUDLOW and CURWOOD both rose, and asked his Lordship if he thought the case ought to be allowed to go on, after the admission of the deceased that the stone struck him accidentally ? Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was of opinion the prose cution ought not to be pressed further. Verdict, Not Guilty. There was only one pi ironer for trial at the Carnar-. vonshire Assizes. An Act was passed by the Common Council at St. John's (New Brunswick), on the 23,1 of June last, making it lawful for the pilots of that port to demand, from the Master of any foreign ship or vessel that they! may pilot into or out of the harbour of St. John's, the sum of ten shillings, Halifax currency, for each and' every f6ot of water the said ship or vessel shall draw. Among the happy symptoms of the decay of strong patty feelings in Ireland is, the fact that Col. BLACKER, the Deputy Vice-Treasurer, has sent to the Grand Orange .Lodge his resignation, as Deputy Grand Master of that Association. It is understood that Colonel BLACKER had determined upon this step some time since, and was induced to hold his Orange dignity only in the hope of moderating the te mper and spirit of that illegal faction. Finding, we believe, that the countenance and appro bation he was supposed to give to their proceedings by his continuing to wear the insignia of office amongst them, far overbalanced any benefit he could effect by his temperate suggestions to his associates, he at length resolved publicly to withdraw. from them. We con gratulate the people of Ireland on this event, because it is another proof of the disposition of his Majesty's Government not to suffer the spirit of party to sway their councils, or pervade their fuuctintraries. Colonel BLACKEIL does himself honour by his wise and manly secession from a body, with which, we dare say, he now regrets he ever bad the misfortune to mix himself up. Wednesday a storm of thunder and lightning visited the town of Leighton Buzzard and its neighbourhood. Mi. Henry Samuel, of the Cross Keys Inn, was em ployed with his son William, another son, and a lad, in preparing a field for its next crop, about a quarter of a mile from the town•on the south side, when William and the lad were struck to the ground by a flash of lightning. Mr. Samuel saw the lad rising from the ground, and his son extended thereon with his face downwards, and his stockings on fire; having extin guished the flames, he raised the body and found it to be a corpse. It is supposed that the deceased had his hoe (with which he had been at work) across his tight shoulder when struck, which attracted the electric fluid, as the hair from the right side of his head was singed, and it had descended on his breast to his feet, tearing in its progress his flesh and clothes. The Hunterian Museum of Glasgow has lately been enriched by the present of a living rattlesnake. The reptile is inclosed in a large box, fronted with glass, defended by a grating of wire. It is perfectly lively, although since its arrival it has taken nothing but a portion of the yolk of two eggs. Living mice and young birds have been introduced, but without its taking the smallest notice of them. Frogs also, but they were found entwined in its folds, or even perched on its head, without suffering the smallest injury, or as much as at tracting its notice. A rabbit, however, did rant fare so well: the little animal had been scarcely put into the box when the snake darted at it and bit it, retiring as it were at the same moment, and coiling itself up in its folds. The deadly nature of the bile was soon conspi cuous. In about a minute the rabbit was seized with convulsions, and after three minutes more expired, in apparently dreadful agony. The snake did not subse quently take the s.- 4 rallest notice of its victim, but moved about as though its prison contained nothing but itself. At liermanstadt, the capital of Ttansylvanai, in the belfry of one of the Lutheran churches, of which there are four, there is a clock with a very musical set of chimes. When these cease the hour strikes, and imme diately after, a small figure, placed io a window, beats a drum, and repeats the hours by giving an equal num ber of strokes, after having flourished for a few seconds. This figure is said to be that of a man, who, at a remote period, discovered a conspiracy formed by some of the inhabitants to massacre the garrison. CHARLES YORKE used to relate the following fact : —" His father, Lord Hardwicke, was in the Court of Chancery when Lord Cowper was hearing a cause, in which Richard Cromwell had some concern. The Counsel made very free and unhandsome use of his name, which offended the good feeli`ng of the Chancel lor, who knew that Crom,well must be in Court. and at that time a very old man, he looked round and said, 'ls Mr. Cromwell in Court?' On his being pointed out to him in the crowd, he very benignly said,' Mr. Cromwell, 1 fear you are very incommodiously placed where you are, pray come and take a seat on the bench by me.' Of course no more hard speeches were uttered against him. Bullstrode Whitelocke, then at the bar, said to Mr. Yorke, This day so many years ago, 1 saw my father carry the Great Seal before that man through Westminster Hall." During Serjeailt PEAKR'S illness, whilst addressing the Jury, at Shrewsbury, in the cause of Thomas v. Biddulph, a C am b r i an L a d y was as k e d by . M r . J ust i ce , if - she had a smelling bottle to help in Mr. Serjeant's recovery she replied No, but she had a paper-full of .1 time blend and cheese, which was at his service. POLICE IN2ILLI&ENCE. BOWISTBILST. Cu: OUT AND OUT.--tlWr. *gene. Pitmaiss was brougtt Up from A t . Martin's tivatelvbosisconcday last • week, .charged • with (Laving incurred hackney-coach fares to the amount of thirty shillings, with out the means of paying one singletarthing. . Mr. Burge Flemings, it appears,-had been ".taking his ease itt his inn," somewhere near Charing crow. and feeling himself coma fortably tucked out, he wished to belt. " No," said snine host," - t can't stand that--.-mutton chops ,are - muttors chops now-a-days, acct if you can't pay I must have pawn." Now the most gentlemanly pawn in such e.ses is a *arch or a snuff-box, or a brilliant, or even an umbrcila---provided it be a silk one : but Mr.l3eorgellemings had none of these superfluities, and therefore he offered hiseMist coot. " Let us see it?" said mine host; and Mr. George Remisigs pad and handed the waistcoat to the over-particular landlord ; but toned up his blue coat,,ala Sir Robert ; and looked quite as well with out a waistcoat as with one. But mine host did not much admire the waistcoat; it was rather run to seed, it was out of nap, and un washed, and in his opinion by no means a sufficient pawn. What was to be done? A decentish 'bandana might have answered the purpose, but unluckily Air-George Fleetness happened at that mo ment to be bandana-less, •and to say the truth, altogether urnhand k erchiefed. Then as to a skirt, that was neither here nor there, as Phelins O'Gorman said by his modesty, or a shirt might have been useful in such an emergency ; for there are gentlemen in town who do sometimes make shift to turn a shirt to account in this way. .So, as neither shirt nor bandana was in the way, Mr. George Flemings relinquished the lid of his knowledge box, u the thing he could most conveniently do without ; — the said box containing nothing of value. This done, he called a hackney-coach, and sallied forth, sans chapeau, sans mate, and without one penny in his pocket, to look up his friends for a replenishment. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when he thus sallied forth, and the coachman drove him about and about to seventeen different friends without the slightest success, and then, becoming tired of the job, be drove Mr. George Flemings to the watch-house, where he left him in pawn for both fares—amounting to thirty shillings, as aforesaid. These matters being stated to the Magistrate, Mr. George Fle mings was asked what he had to say in his defence ? and he acknow ledged that the demand of the coachman was a very just one, and he would pay it, but unfortunately he was not in a condition to pay it at peseta. lie assured his Worship that he was a gentleman, and would pledge his honour fur the payment as soon as it was his power. There was so much gentlemanly resignation in hia demeanour, that his Worship directed he should remain in the watch-house in stead of being committcd.to the common jail ; and he was sent there accordingly. Next day it was communicated to the Magistrate, that Mr. George Flemings was in danger of famishing in his con finement, there being no allowance of food at the watch-house, and he having nothing wherewithal to purchase any. Upon hearing this, hie Worship kindly directed that Mr. George Flemings should be , furnished with bread and cheese and porter, at his cost. Still the money was mot forthcoming, and at last his Worship sent for Mr. George Flemings, and urged him to write to his friends. " Cer tainly," said 31r. George Fleming and he instantly wrote a note to Mr. Greenwood, the army agent ; in which note the Magistrate had so much faith that h. suffered Mr. George Flemings to go at large, upon his pledging hislonour to return on the following day: and Mr. Richmond (one of the clerks of this office), not to be behind his Worship in liberality, lent Mr. George Flemings a very stylish white hat ; which hat Mr. vffieorge Flemings pledged some more of his honour to return when he railed next day. The note was deli vered to Mr. Greenwood, who returned thirty shillings by the bearer ; saying that was the last money Mr. George Flemings should' ever have from him, and be desired never to see or hear from him again. This thirty shillings was divided between the two hackney coachmen; but, as Mr. George Fleming forgot to redeem the honour he had pledged at this office, the Magistrate eventually re mained minus the bread and cheese and porter, and Mr. Richmond his chapeau blanc. CHILD STRALINC.—A poor Irishwoman, named Anne Burke, living in Church-street, St. Gilts's, complained to the Magls trat e, on Saturday, that her infant, only a [cernight old, had been stolen from her by a strange young woman, who met her acciden tally in the street, and having enticed her Ingo a public-house, on Friday afternoon, under pretence of taking her to a Lady, who would be a great friend to her child, sent her out on some frivolous errand, and during her absence abaconded with her child. The Magistrate directed Nicholls and other officers to use every exertion in discovering this unfeeling woman, who is described as being about the middle size, genteelly dresstd, and having a parti cular blue mark under one of her eyes. The infant is a boy, and has one of its eyes blood-shot from a cold. MA RIAJORMIG 11-STREET. A little boy, of very interesting acper.rance, and genteelly dressed, about eight years of age, was brought up, charged as a vagabond. The constable who apprehLnded him, said, that young as the pri saner was in years, he was by no means so in his practices as a beggar. He lire frequently been in custody before, as well as his father and mother; the former had been for years known about town as a vagrant dressed in the character of a sailor, although he never was one, and singing the song, " I sing the British Sailor's praise, a theme renowned in story." Until lately, the father, in his singing excursions, generally led the child by the hand, but he now sends him out to beg on his own account, and very few mendicants are more successful, for his appearance excites so much interest that scarcely any one passes who dors not give him something. The father and mother have two establishments, one at Whitechapel, and another in St. Giles's, so that on the days they scour the west end they retire to the latter, and when in the east to the former, and they are known to live very luxuriously on the produce of their daily labours. The little prisoner was now questioned by the Magistrate as to his general habits, and the average of his daily receipts, and in his' answers he betrayed as much intelligence of mind as he exhibited in terest in his person. He said that for a long time be used to go out with his father, and sometimes with his mother, who always take separate walks, but latterly they send him out on a walk of his own, and he pretty nearly averages, one day with another, 2s. 641. a day, which be always brings home to his father. It is a very bad day that be can't make is. 6d. He had that morning, up to the tune be was taken, got ad. which he had then about him. The Magistrate said, that had he continued to go about with his father, and been Liken in that situation, the father, and not him, would be punished ; but now that be had set up on his own account, he must take the consequences. lie was then sent for one month to the House of Correction,and the officers were directed to have a sharp look-out after the father and mother. SALISBURY, Atm. l9.—The Lord Lieutenant of the county (Lord PEMIIRONE) had his pocket-book (containing only me morandums) cut front his pocket coming out of the Cathedral, from the Musical Festival yesterday. The Bishop's brother had his pocket picked in a similar way of sel 1, awl the Dean of SAs.v was robbed of ,C 5. Madame CATALANS, SAPIN am! Mrs. SALmon, did better than even the family Mell. A very full musical meeting. THE CASIELEON.-oile of these creatures, which so rarely live in our climate, and which when not alive no longer possess that singularity which constitutes their value, is now exhibited at the house, of a baker, in Fleet street. It is imported from Sierra Leone, and is the only survivor out of a great number who were passen gers in the same vessel. , It is about nine inches long " from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail," and is, in all material points, of the lizard form and species. The first peculiarity which strikes the spectator is in the eye. The orb of sight is encased in a spherical socket, moveable in every direction, and projecting so much as to enable the animal to see on all sides; and what adds to this facility is, that one eye has no sym pathy with the other; so that one can be shut while the other is open, or one looking forwards while the other is looking backwards. The appearance of the eye is very. singular. It so completely resembles a gem sur rounded by a slight ring of gold, that it might well be supposed to be really a piece of metal and a precious stone. The variations in the hues over the whole skin are rapid and surprising. On a plant of delicate green the cameleon is scarcely distinguishable from the plant itself; on black it becomes duslcy ; passing over :grey, it assumes again another tinge. It delights in light and heat, and changes in form as well as colour ;when warmed by, the rays of the sun. The claws have ,considerable power of tenacity, and are capable of be . ang turned round so as to embrace any object presented to them. The tongue is long, and of such strength that ;the animal can seize with it a fly or other insect at the 'distance of seven or eight inches. At the end is a divi• -sion in the manner of a forceps.

A poor man mowing, near Arles, in the Queen's County, Ireland, had one of his legs nearly cut off on Wednesday week by his comrade, ss horn he approached too near behind without giving him notice.
