PORTSMOU ni, DEC EMBER 24. His Majesty's sh:p Tees, Captain Frederick Marryatr, is returneJ from tl:e East India station, having been in service upwards of four years an 1 a half. Captain Martyatt has latterly been very actively employed in co-operation with the army at Rangoon. We learn, that when the Tees sailed, t! e rainy season had set in ; the advanced part of the army was still at Pr ime, and had apparently nn intention of proceeding up to Urn meraparira, until December, when the rains would have abated. The Burmese had stockaded themselves within a few utiles. There was no appearance of any pacific overtures taking place. Our army was by no means in a desirable condition. The difficulties of the trans port of provisions was very greet—the south-west Mon soon blowing against a strung current, creating such a hetvy sea in the Irawaddy, that k was impossible for loaded boats to proceed ; and the land-carriage was daily becoming more difficult, from heavy rains and lo.s of cattle. Donabue and Pamlay were held as ports, but Bassin had been totally evacuated. Some hard fighting had taken place between the Burmahs, at Bassin, in consequence of some of them having assisted the English; the former had sent a deputation to R. in goon, for a supply of arms and ammunition. The evacuation of Bislin, it was expected, would prolong' the war—as the only supply of grain which could be obtained at Ummerapoora had been thereby cut off. The troops belonging to Bundoola (the Burmah Chief), at Donabue, and several other Chiefs, were in that direction—mostly at Lamina, where the Bassin arid addy rivers form a junction. The disposition of his Majesty's ships, consequent upon the necessary cessation of hostilities, was as follows r—The Alligator and Arachne were at Rangoon, thatched over for the rainy season ; Captain Alexander was at Prome, Capt. Chads, at Rangoon. The S Thie, Captain Ryves, on her return from Rangoon, was obliged to throw her guns overboard ; and being found leaky, and unfit for fur ther actives...! vice, she was sold to merchan s; the crew were to be conveyed to Trincomalee, in the Tamar—to be sent hcme thence in the Liff-y, which was refitting there few her passa 4e homeward. The Larne had sailed for Penang and New South Wales. COMITIMIO3 e Sir James Brisbane had left Mkdras, in the Boadicea, for Calcutta, in consequence of a very unpleasant alterca tion which had arisen between Sir Archibald Campbell and the Navy ; the former having persuaded the Go vernor-General to put all the Company's naval force under his command. This had. been previously at tempted, and successfully resisted by the Naval Officer formerly in command. When the t eder was issued, Captain Gordon Btonter was dispatched to Calcutta, to rerr.cn crate ; and the Governor-General recpiested to have a personal interview with the Cominodore upon the suhj ct. A freight of 12 lac, of rupees was put on bard the Boadicea, at Madras, to take up to Calcutta. SECONDARIES' OFFICE, COLEMANSTREET. Dictums :Z. CLARK AND CO V. ESQ. This was an action for the recovery of £l3 14s. due from the defendant to the plaintiffs, who are respectable booksellers, in Por tugal -street, Lincoln's Ina-fields. The Solicitor for the plaintiffs stated that the circumstance which led to this action was one of rather an extraordinary nature, and proved that a County Magistrate could sometimes commit an act of indiscretion, whiNth was punishable otherwise than by those means by which the plai:ttiffs bad thought it proper to resort. The defendant WAS a Magistrate of Sort h.iinptoishire, and occasionally purchased books at the shop rt the plaintiff. Upon one occa sion be left a balance of £3 14s. unpaid, and on the 17th of June, 1P23, he cidled in, and referring to the money he was indebted, asked Mr. Clarke to let him have £lO, and he would give his cheque for 1:d. 4s. Mr. Clarke, who was aware of the respectability of the defendant's station in life, did net hesi tate to take the cheque, and gave the worthy Magistrate two I!. notes. To his surprise, however, he found that he had been choused out of his money, for upon application to the house of Mr. Higher'', to whom the cheque was dit ecti:d, it was a-certained th•a his Wor ship was wholly unknown there. He soon afterwards wrote to the respectable drawer of the cheque, stating the fact of the refusal upon the part of Mr. Higham to pay, and the denial of any know ledge of the person who had drawn the order, and he received an answer, apologising for so unworthy a trick. The amount, how• ever, was not forthcoming, and the plaintiffs, although they mil:ht have proceeded to an earremity of a different kind, contented them selves with suing his Worship for the balance he owed, and the money he borrowed. John Wright, a person in the employment of the plaintiffs, stated that he saw the defendant write the cheque for £l5 14s. in their shop, and receive the £lO from Mr. Clarke. Another witness said, that he presented the cheque for payment at the house of Mr. Higham, in Lower Grosvenor-strerr, and was told that no such person as the defendant was known there. There was no defence, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict for the amount of the demand. ON THE DEATH OF AN INFANT. -r ..- Sleep in the green earth's bosom! Happy child/ Thy truest mother watches now thy rest ; Thou too bast dreamt of life, but unbeguiled Bait tu , ted agair. to sleep on Nature's breast : And what though hopes on thy horizon signed, Foretelling noon-day splendours to our eyes,— When thuds of death their dusky mandate show's!, And shut thee ou: into thy proper skies ; Better thy sleep, without a dream or breath, Than dreams of woe, and breath that fans woe's Same. No enemy rejoices in thy death, No slanderous tongue stabs thy defenceless (ante, And if on earth few tears for thee are given, More smiles will welcome thy return to Heav'n. E. 0. B. A TREIIENDOUS COMET. Previons to the E,piegle's le:ving the Western He misphe:e, there wa. visible, among the Constellations towards the South POle, one of t' e large.t C mets that has bten Ee e fr"ni the earth for a considefahle petiod, perhaps since the oi:e of 1682 or 1759 (if, as is sup posed, they are the same), it being considerably larger than the ore that appeared in 1811. It first became visible in the latter part of September, or beginning of October, when it was about the brightness of the P.eiades, at an elevation of s;xteen or eighteen degrees. and without any considerable tail ; its increasing bright ness, and the increasing length of the tail, together with its retrograde motion among the stars, soon made it .appear that it was rapidly approaching the earth; and about the middle of o.tober, at the close of twilight, in the absence of the Moon, it was the most conspicuous celestial object above the horizon. On the 15th Octo. ber, e.irly in the morning, Mr. H. A. Newman, Master of his Majesty's ship Esdicgle, observed its distance from two of the most considerable stars in its vicinity, as follows: At Simr.ti's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, October 14 fi, at 15 20 m. observed distance of the comet and the star Fomalhaut, 26 17. 40 comet E. of star : and the star Archenar, 23. 50. 40 comet N. of star. At this time the tail extended about seven degrees from the nucleus. Again, on the 12th November, at seven P.NI. in lat. 32. N. and lorri.; 19. 32. W. the distance from the star Fomalhaut was 29 00. comet W. :cid from the star Archenar, 43. 37. comet N. of star. At this time the tail extended fifteen degree, from the nucleus, and the nucleus itself was very visible to the naked eye, its apparent diameter being much larger than that of Ju piter. The tail had a small curvature, and, as usual, itrminareJ in faint hairy lays; it se, med to be receding - nor from the earth. These observations are not car ; ected for the effect of refraction ; this effect will be tri :ling, as the three objects had a considerable elevation at the time of the observation. The Astronomer Royal at the Cape of Good Hope was sedulously employed otrservilg for data to determine the elements of its orbit ; fr,.or whose accuracy astronomers may hope for every ut eel* 3. An Inquest was hell at the White Lion, Hampton i Vs . ick, on the body of W. Bond, servant to a farmer, of th.it place, aged 15, who, while unloading a c rt, hay., irg neglected to strap the hinder part, it f ii on him, and crushed him so as to cause his death.—The Jury re turned a verdict of Accidental death. ST. STIEPIIKN.Tibis day is the anniversary of ST. STEPHSN. He was one of the seven Deacons appointed by the Apostles to manage the Public Fund established; hr the relief of the Poor, and to attend to minor eccle siastical occupations. He is called the Proto-Martyr, r the first Martyr of the New Testament. He was Stow tts thatb kr: the year 33. ~+--- --~ CONDEMNED SERMON• Yesterday the three unhappy criminals, Wm. Henry Austin, Richard Wm. Jasper, and John Edmonds, whose doom is fixed for to-morrow, attended Divine Service at the prison Chapel. They were, as is usual with persons in their calamitous situation, placed in a pew apart from the other prisoners, generally termed the c , ,ndemned pew. The Rev. Mr. Baker sat with them during the service, the Rev. Mr. Cotton being the officiating Cler gyman. During the progress of the service, they ap peared self-possessed and attentive. When it had con• eluded, and previous to the sermon beini; delivered, a penitential psalm, entitled, "The Lamentation of a S n ner," was ciranted, in which the criminals all joined with considerable fervour. The text selected for the con dem. ed sermon was taken from the 17th verse of the 51st Psalm, and was most appropriate to the occasion. Ile Rev. Ordinary, in descanting on it, took occasion to enforce the necessity of repentance, and pointed out to his hearers bow acceptable a sacrifice was a contrite heart in the sight of the ALm IGIITY. Repentance, he said,should be sincere,and confiding in the mercies of the LORD. Despair was not to mark its features. Hope was to be placed in GOD% mercies, who would realize that hope, and receive the repenting sinncr, as (Id the father of old the prodigal son. The impressiveness of the Rev. Gentlanan's delivery was not expended in vain ; his auditory, but more particularly that part of it which is so near e:ernity, appeared deeply affected; and per haps the day, the Nativrty cf c ur SAVIOUR, added to the solemnity of his appeal. The sermon, which had heretofore been preached on a similar m-lancho;y occa sion, was selected at the instance of the convicts diem :,elves. At its conclusion they were removed to their cell-, sensibly alive to the awfulness of their situation, and deeply impressed with the necessity of a sincere and c infiding repentance. Austin, who is 35 years of age, was charged with stealing a Bank note for 51. the prop ,r; y of C'•arles ' Gat diner, which had come into his possession by virtue , of his offi..e, as a letter sorer at the General Po,t Office. It appears thit the note in question was sent, from Mr. Gardiner, at Wimbourne, to Mr. Pyrke, of Oxford. It came by the way of London, and where, among• other letters, it r. maned in the Post-Office to. be sorted ; the prisoner, who PM a sorter, went to the box several times, and examined the Tetsworth boa, which adjoined the Oxford box. A man named Wallis, who had known the pi is•rner since 1811, proved that he met the prisoner in July, when the prison •r gave him thre.. 51. country notes, and requested him L . get them changed at the banking house; in the City. Wallis got them changed as he was desired, and met the prisoner by appointment on the Southwark bridge., ' The prisoner then told Wallis to get some French money to the amount of 101. Wallis obtained the French money as he was desired, but having met with some difficulty in passing one of the .1. notes, he put 'his own name on it, and got it cashed at the Bank of England. The prisoner, on hearing this circumstance, appeared rather flurried, but he. ae,:epted the French and Errglish money, and gave Wail s cue sovereign for his trouble. Wallis was however apprehended, 0.. account of his name being on the note. The prison;::, who made no defence, w.rs strongly rec•lamencled t.) m.rcy by the Jury, on account tri the exccllent cha racter he had received. John tdpumck, who is c2l: years of age, w.is tried for horse-,te ding. Tile prisoner was seivint w Mr. We!ib, of Great Marlow, from whom the pi ironer had stolen the horsz.., and soil it f-r 121. About a rriouth after the horse had been restored to r.e prosecutor, the prisoner stole it a second time, and offered it for sale for 141. The prosecutor recommended him to mercy, but the Judge said he was fearful, for the sake of example, that the law would be carried into effect. Jasper, who is 25 years of age, was charged with forging a bill of exchange for 251. with in:ent to defraud Messrs. Fox and Co. When placed at the bar to take his trial, he pleaded guilty, and was strongly recom mended to mercy by the prosecutors. The oath of allegiance to CONSTANTINE, the new Emperor of Russia, was administered yesterday, at the Russian Chapel, to the members of the Legation, and to the principal Russians re•ident ie this metropolis. Papers front Rio de Janeiro, to the 27th October, have been received. The 12th was the Emperor's birth day, and the anniversary of his being proclaimed Em.. peror of Brazil; and the Dian° tiuntinense contains a long list of promotions on the occasion, recopying seve ral numbers of that journal. An extraordinary outrage 1141 been perpetrated at Rio on an Englishman, named Edward Holland, who, with his clerk, was dragged from his house and thrown into prison, by order of the 'Judge of Villa Carneta, because he refused to sell him certain articles which were waned for the public ser vice. The British Consul. however, having made a proper representation on the subject, the Emperor ordered she Judge. to be brought to account for his ar bitrary conduct. The species of retribution to which he was subjected does not appear. The hostilities in the Banda Oriental still continued. DtMERAR GEORGE TOWN, OcT. C 4 We have in truth been distressed with the same un nsualiy hot and di y weather, to an extent th at ha: on •he sea coat de •troyed almost all the provision grounds, and ma.erially inreaired all the cultiva:i n. To those who have not visited the too sacs, the eif..cts that are prodoced by a drought, under the. po • elf ,cure of the sun, will, in most hands, by de-trip tar short of the reality. Sh:ivelled vegetation, I).4:clird and widely cracked earth, stint of water eves for do mestic purposes, testify to ourselves on the sisot the direful consequences that d sill exemplify th, mselve-, and the daily and sudden deaths of many •at nu: telow colonists, thus cut off in the mime and vigour of lite. Even wit•tr is now sold to the poar ialtabtarit-, a! the very high rate of 225. per puncheon. being brought from the upper part of this river by punts. Trie injury to vegetation has net been the only evil. As is gene rally the ca e, and was so in the year 1804, lar,:,e tires have sprung up behind the back dams of the estates, commencing in the woods, and pursuing Cher course, even to the cultivation of canes, &c. which ate equally ready to ignite. In some cases, the fire has overpoaered and eluded the vigilance of the planters, and in one paiticular instance in Essequibo, twenty acres of canes weie bar•t. List week it was generally nude, vont!, that the.: files extended from Surinam to Berbice piitially, and from Berbice again, mine or less, along the whole of Demerara to the extremity of tt.e Essequibo coast. The West coast had an alarming tire belied the back part of it. Nov. Io.—We felt a severe shock of earthquake; inched, the severest ever remembered here by the oldest inhabitant, but providentially it did nu mischief; and at the beginning of this mouth we discovered a comet, which is still plainly distinguishable, although it ha, removed with astonishing raiidity to the ssestward since it was first perceived. Whether these phenomena have any influential consequences on' this our planet in respect to crops, seasons, &c. we cannot say, and it is in vain to conjecture ; but our si!uation and prospects are fat from satisfactory. POLICE IN rELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. ' Saturday two Gentlemen went to the Justice Room, and in formed the Lord Mayor that gangs of thieves were, by day as well as by night, committing robberies in Fleet -street, notwithstanding the boasted vigilance of the police. The substance of the complaint was as follow,:—The chambers of one of the complainants, who resides in Falcon-court, Fleet -street. had, on the preceding day, been broken open, between ten and (Seven o'clock, and robbed of every portable article ; and those who committed the robbery must have been some time lurking about the neighbourhood. This rob bery reflected, in some degree, upon the character of the officers, whose duty it wai, the complainants thought, to apprehend any suspicious person ts born they observed lurking about the streets by day or by night. The mention of it in the neighbourhood excited not the smallest surprise ; on the contrary, it was said to be me of the ordinary circumstances of the day ; but it was at the same time declared, that all bold depredations committed within the precincts of the City were confined to the vicinity of Fleet -street, where there appeared to rest a complete impunity with regard to the thieves. The respectable shopkeepers all complained of the relaxed condition of the City system, which, in fact. rendered it mater of extreme hazard for any person, with property about him, to walk in the street, where, oo account of its great* populousness, there should be abundant means of security. The Loan Maxon admitted teat Fleet-street, public and open as it was, was the rendelvous of the most numerous gangs of thieves to be found in the City, and said lie would take immediate steps to put an end to the very alarming evil complained of. WORSHIP-STREET. Saturday, Thomas Robin, a journeyman silk weaver, was brought before Mr. Tweroxo, the Magistrate, fur final examination, upon a ch trge of having a quantity of silk in his prwes,ion without sa tisfactorily accounting how he became possessed of it, a: well as having given a harntss-reed anti roller to a person mow(' Sigance, which article% with four lo:tms wol kof silk, were all. to have been feloniously carried away on San ay night, the 314 o:toher, from the residence of a person named James Lonquett, a journey man silk weaver. The Officer said he had had for many days in his possession a warrant againsr tke prisoner for ielon). and in its execution he felt justified in bringing the silk found in the prisoner's house before the Magistrate. The Magistrate then inquired from Gooding as to the hour or time he got the silk ? and was answered about two o'clock in the afternoon; and upon examining the 10th sec. which he read, it' appeared " That where there is cause to suspect" any ps•rsou of embezzling, &c. the Magistrates may is.ue a search warrant to search any dwelling, warehouse, garden, or place, " in the day time," and as he considered the stipulations of the Act should he strictly adhered to, he thought (as in the case of a pawnbroker) restitution could not he made, ur punishment legally inflicted in a departure from the Act. Mr. Tweroso was of opinion, that as the prisoner was taken up under a wartain for felony, under very mysterimis circumstances, and the silk being found in-ls's possession, and he unable to account for it, it mattered little whether a possession of the article was ob-. gained by a search warrant or by taking the parties on suspicion. A long argument then ensues , the re-4th of which was that Rob son was di :ctieir6ed out of custody. _ . . Mr. W:Ahaslppcated extremely dissatisfied with the decision. UNION HALL. Saturday, Trse:i was again placed at the bar. The Magistrate, addressing the prisoner, observed that since the former examina tion be bad received two letters, one of them from kir. Williams, and the other from an anonymous writer. The first, he observed, ern:n:oy confirmed, in most respects, what the prisoner had alleged regarding the respectability of his connections and of his own un fortunate situation ; but the anonymous correspondent -spoke of him in a far different light- lie (the Magistrate) would take spe cial care, however, that no anonymous writer should ever influence hint in his decision of any cue, as he considered that that species of conrnunication was most injurious to the ends of justice. The Magistrate then dischuged Toosey, to whom he gave an admoni tion that seemed to have its due weight. An Inquest was held last week, in the parish of White parish, Wilts, on the body of William Bailey. The deceased, together with his brother (John Bailey), and a man named Thomas Frampton, were discovered by the keeper and his assistant in the woods of Lord Nat.- SON, about two o'clock in the morning of Tuetday, the 13th inst. On coming up with them a desperate struggle took `lace: other persons, however, arriving to the assistance of the keepers, the poachers were at length taken into co:truly. The keepers had each a club stick, but no fi e-srms. After the affray two guns and a flail were foun 1 on the ground; one of the guns, loaded with• powder and shot, ss as produced at the Inquest; the other (a witness deposed) the deceased discharged at the keeper, but, fortunately, without injuring him. Four pheasants were found in the pockets of Thomas Framp ton, and one was found in the pocket of John Bailey. The poachers were taken to the house of the keeper, where William Bailey died on the following Thursday, from the wounds he received in the scuffle. John Bailey remains at the keeper's house, extremely ill. The keeper is also much brui:ed. Thomas Frampton has been com mitted to prison. Every medical attention was paid to the deceased. The Jury returned a verdict of " Jut-, tifiable Homicide." The total receipts of the different religious societies in this country, amounted during the past y e.sr to four hundred and eight thousand five hundred and eighteen pounds, nineteen shillings, and eight-pence! ••••I • I • I • • I•• M.
