STEAM BOATS. The loss of the Comet naturally calls public attention to the safety, or rather dangers of steam-boats, and had a calamity like ibis occurred in the first year after they were hint:dined, it would have excited a very strung prejudice against steam navigation, theugh of its value there can be no doubt. We have already no ticed the opinion of a skilful engineer, that Inspectors should be appointed to examine the steam-boats at all the porn ; a correspondent in a Morning Paper suggests, that they should only be employed to tow other vessels, and should not carry the passengers.. Had the Comet, he says, been a sailing, anti not a steam boat, she might have been saved, as it would stem that the paddle was first struck; but be that as it may, had the passengers been on board another vessel astern of her, this boilable waste of human life certainly would not have happened. He further adds, that by employing a com modious vessel for passengers, instead of a yearn-boat, many di-comforts would be avoided; such as the smell of the grease, the chances of fire, boilers burs ing, &c. This is certainly all very true, but before we abandon the use oF steam-boats as passage vessels, we ought to leave no means untried to tender tl.em as safe as pos sible, and much in this respect may be done in the ways we have pointed out. On the mere subject of sea manship, which appears to have been sadly neglected in the recent fatal instance, the Glaspra. Coutier has the follow . ng sensible observations : " To guard to the utmost against every danger which may lie in the way, no master of a steam -vessel ought on any account to leave the deck, more especially by night, without appointing a trusty man to look out, and another to be ready in case of any appearance of danger to stop the engine at a moment's notice, if required. Where any accident ensued the vessel which had not taken off her steam, and which had taken the wrong side, ought to pay all damages. Beery steam-vessel going towards the land, into any bay, harbour or creek, or up any river, ought to keep to wards the forbeard side; and all steam vessels coming from the land, from any harbour, creek, or bay, or going down any river to the sea, ought to keep to the starboard—or always to the right hand, and every vessel coming into port or up any river, should have lights up—distinguishing and conspicuous, as are used by men of war for night signals, hung out forwards. By these simple regulations being enforced and attended to, many lives may be saved and much damage prevented. Also it would be proper in dark nights and in narrow channels to ring a bell or blow a horn at near intervals. While on this subject also, we would suggest, and before any fatal accident compels us to call public attention to it, that all steam boats should have buckets on board, to enable them to extinguish any Are which may break out, and the machinery may be at, con structed, that the engines, in case of necessity, could be made to pour in water into any part of the vessel which may be on fire.— Why should any precaution be wanting which could save life, and add to the security of property r OLD BAILLY SE:BBlOiNz, OC TOBER 28. William Harwood, a highly respectable and vene rable locking ream, seventy-one years of age, stood in dicted for thelful Murder of his grandson, G=orge Barton, on the 19th of October last, by stabbing him with a dagger. The prisoner was also charged, on the finding of the Coroner's Jury, with Manslaughter. Ann Hill sworn—l have been for eight years house keeper to the prisoner; he is a coal undertaker, residing in Unien.street, Shadwell ; on the evening of the 19th of the present month of Oct. the grandson of the deceased, George Barton, came home; be asked me for some meat? and the prisoner soon afterwards came in ; I was cutting meat at the time; the deceased asked me to cut him some lean? and the prisoner replied, "it must be cut fair ;' I said, " Nonsense, I am cutting it fair:' The deceased said, "I must have some money." The prisoner said that the deceased should not enter his house again ; the deceased exclaimed, "I will have some money or his (the prisoner's) life, a old —;" and struck the prisoner with his double fist on the moull ; I said to him, " George, for Heaven's sake, don't." He replied, " Curse his old eyes, I will have money—that is what I want." The prisoner left the room for a short time, and went up stairs. He had 'storey up stairs, but I do not know that he went to fetch any. When the prisoner came down stairs, he said to the deceased, "Get out of the house." The de ceased replied that he would not, and he gave the pri soner hard blows with his fist doubled, as b:fore, on the chest. The deceased was a powerful young man, tvisraty-three years of age. When the deceased had given the blows, the Risoner struck the deceased in stantly with a dagger which he held in his hand ; the deceased, on receiving the blow, staggered against the door; I took hold of his hand, and told the prisoner to go and call the watch, or some one to assist ; the de ceased appeared faint, and I said, "George, what non sense is th;s ; what is the matter ?" The prisoner went for an officer, and came back again ; he did not attempt to run away ; I had, before that time, heard the deceased declare, that he would have his grandfather's life, and I told the prisoner. The deceased, about eight months ago, threatened to rob the house, and he did rah it ; he also threatened to have my life; when he Was stabbed and fell, I said, "Oh ! he's killed—he's killed, go fetch the watch." The prisoner heard me; I saw nothing in the-hand of the prisoner when he came down stairs. Cross•examined by Mr. Cuawoon—The deceased was a very wicked, profligate young man ; the prisoner was very fond of him, and tried ail in his power to reclaim hun ; from the threats of the deceased I lieved the prisoner went is fear of his life. John Jennings, a coal-whipper, sworn—l was in company w ith the dece 'sed at the Phceirix Tavern, on the evening in question ; the prisoner was there, and there was a subs'cription ler a distressed person ; the prisoner gave a shilling ; the deceased said he had half a crown, and some one told him to keep it, as he might want it himself ; he replied that the prisoner should give him more money, or he would have his life. Cross-examined by Mr. BRODRICK—The deceased was violent; passionate, and wicked, and the prisoner was very kind to him. ' W. Wilson statad.—l took at prisoner into custody ; on the way to the watch-house he said, * I have done his job, you will never take him again :" I have bad the deceased in custody for felony, and was looking for him for another. Cruse-examined—The prisoner was in great distress of mind at the time be said I have done his job, &c. Joshua Millar, a surgeons—l , txamined the deceased ; the point of the dagger had passed through the lungs into the right ventricle of the heart ; there was a great effu s ion of blood. The prisoner put in a written tletence.—lt stated that the deceased was a profligate, abandoned young man, and that be had always treated him with great kindness, and had always supplied him with food, clothes, and money, and his house v, as constantly open to him; be was violently attacked by the deceased, and was unconscious of what he had done at the time be resisted it.—He expressed the utmost sorrow for the death of the youth ; he had, notwithstanding his crimes, always felt the most fatherly affection for him, and it was not likely he should commit the dreadful Fume ot• murder at a time when ke was, from age and maturity, about to sink into the grave.— He concluded by duos himself on the. merciful consideration of .. W. Haggerty, for the defence, said that he heard the deceased, on the night in question, threaten to take away the life of the prisoner if he did not give him money. The prisoner said that be had given him enough. The deceased replied, " I'll have more, or your life." Francis Meyers corroborated the last witness. Mark Hodson sworn—l produce a will which the prisoner had in his possession ; I was a subscribing witness to the will on the 6th of February last ; tl.ere is a b:quest of 1101. to the deceased, and all the pri soner's household furniture, plate, linen, watch, &c. A number of witnesses gave the prisoner the highest character for kindness and humanity. Mr. Justice PA rain, in summing up the case, said that he and his brother Garrow were of opinion that , the crime did not amount to murder, supposing they gave implicit credit to the whole of the evidence. Toe question was, whether the offence was manslaughter or justifiable homicide? He thought there required more evidence to shew the prisoner was justified in the assault' on the deceased. The prisoner might have retreated from the vio:ence of the deceased, and have locked himself up in his apartment till a watchman had been obtained ; and unJer all the circumstances, he thought the Jury would be warranted in finding the prisoner guilty of manslaughter, leaving it to the Court to take into its consideration the facts which had been elicited. so very favourable to the prisoner, during the investi gation of this most melancholy case. The Jury returned a verdict—Guilty of litaneauglacr, under great provocation. The Rsconozo said, that under all the circumstances of this unhappy case, the sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner pay a fine of 40s. to the King. John Rankin, aged 26, was put to the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Mary Anne Hunt, on the 23d of September, by strikir7, her several blows on the head with a board, and inflicting several mortal wounds and bruises, of which she immediately died. He was also given in charge, on the Coroner's Inquest, for Manslaughter. Mr. ANDAEWS opened the case to the Jury, and in particular directed their attention to the evidence which would be given by the two principal witnesses who were to appear in support of the prosecution. These were the daughter of the deceased and a woman named M'Mullan, who were both present at the trarsaction, but whose accountsof it would be found to differ in some very important particulars. It would, however, be for the Jury to hear both, and decide to which of them credit belonged. The case for the prosecution was then gone through. Tire prisoner in his defence said, that the deceased had for several nights got very drunk, and annoyed him .very much, and he could get no rest. He remonstrated' with her, but in vain. He also declared, that on the night in question.the woman struck him twice before he returned the blow, and when he did, the woman fell, but could not say whether the injury she received was from the fall or not. _ Prisoner described himself as a labourer at a wharf, but his address and manner of delivering himself be-' spoke a person much above one of that class. No wit nesses appeared to give him a character. At five o'clock Mr. Justice Pau began to sum up, and went through the evidence with great minuteness, remarking, as be proceeded, on the discrepancies between the statements of the two women, as far as they bore on the case. The Jury, after a few moment's consideration, returned a verdict—Acquitting the prisoner of Murder, but finding him Guilty of Manslaughter. Alji•esi Flowers, a young man, was put to the bar, charged with the wilful murder• of Simon SuLivan, a child with which Mary Sullivan was pregnant on the 20th of September last, in the parish of Mary-la-bonne. 'Die prisoner gave the woman several kicks on various parts of her body ; she was taken ill in consequence, and delivered of the child, which was baptised Simon —he languished some days, and then died from the bruises and kicks which the mother had received; the offence took place in Oxford-street. Mat y Sullivan and others having deposed to the fact, The watchman who was near the spot, sm.!, that he heard the woman call " Watch !" He went up and found the prisoner and Sullivan fighting. The woman gave charge of the. young man with the white coat on, saying, that he had insulted her, but she did not say more. He took the -whole of them to the watch house together. In .He stated that the two Sullivan, were upon Flowers it the same time. Verdict—Not Guilty. NEW COURT. Thomas Sharpe Bur eliw;sinciited for stealing several articles at wearing apparel, the property of W. Elliott. The prisoner made no defence; and the Jury found him Guilty. Mr.Serjeant A RABIN told the Jury, that the prisoner's relatives were very respectable, and to prevent their .being further disgraced by his misconduct, the Court would send him out of the country for I,le. John Hooper, alias Thomas Ha -toe, a Lieutenant on half-pay, was indicted for stealing some silver spoons,the property of George Wall. The prisoner underwent a long examination at the Mansion house, when it ap peared that he went into •a coffee-house in the City, ordered a sumptuous dinner, without having any money to pay for it, and dining the temporary absence of the waiter he put the spoons in his pecker. The prosecutor and witnesses did not appear, and he was acquitted. . George Baines Collin:ore, aged 22. was indic:ed for stealing a silk shawl, belonging to his sister. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said he was innocent, and that his sister had stated that she would lay things in his way to induce him to steal them, and. that she would then prosecute him, and do all in her power to get him out of the country. The prosecutrix, who is a respectable-looking woman, as sured the Court that she had not said anything of the kind. The prisoner had robbed his parents, and she told him that if he robbed her she would prosecute him. The prisoner contradicted her, and called his mother.in.law to•confrm his statement; she, however, had only heard the prosecutrix threaten to prosecute him if he robbed her as he had robbed his parents. She gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury deliberated about three quarters of an hour, and then returqed a •erdict of Gmilly. No tidings as yet have been heard of the male child belonging to Mr. Weller, that was stolen, from the girl intrusted to nurse him, on the 6th instant, near the Duke ut York publtc•house, in the Borou;h. The reward has been increased to fifty pounds. fhe mother of the child is inconsolable. _ The French papers contain accounts of the refusals of the Cures of Versus, near Chalons, and Coberstany, near Perpignan, to bury two young women who had died in those places. One Cute refused on the ground that the deceased had not been married in church ! the 'other, because the grave was too near the windows of his house The Mayors interfered, but the Cures being Lobstiaate, the bodies were interred without religious rites.' alwaib c r • by throw iug the Cow t. MIDDLESE ! X SESSIONS, OCTOBER 28. The Court was occupied till a la:e hour with Mint cases, none of which possessed the slightest public interest, or were ranked by feitures different Irom those which ordinarily characterize such tran , actions. The offenders were many of them women ; the nii:jority were convicted, and sentenced to sir and twelve months' imptisonm.fnt. In some instances children of a very render age had been em ployed to circulate the base coin. W. Camac, E-q. of Mansfield-square, appealed against a conviction made against him, by lain Raw linson, Esq. one of the Magistrates of t':e ary-la-honne Unite-office, for having caused to he heaped up a quan. tity of marline in Alan:field-mews, in the parish of Mary-la-bonne. There is no thoroughfare through the Mews, which was originally wholly private property, but then it is contended that the Mews has been open to :any person who chose to is a 1 k dawn it ever since its toil:ration, and the questions therefore for the consideration of the Court were, whether this circumstance, coupled whir the fact that the place was lighted, paved, anti watched by the parish, were evidence of a waver of the private right ? and whether they ccit‘tituted it a public place within the meaning of an Act passed in 57 Gen. 111. entitled, An Act for the better paving, lighting, and prevtnting of Nuisances within the Metropolis?" Evidtnce having been cAled to prove the nuisance alleged in the conviction, and Counsel heard, . The Co.sillm.tt: was of opinion that the conviction was a good one, and therefore affirmed it, subject to a special case, which it was agreed between Counsel should he drawn up for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of the King's Bench upon the question, whether Mansfield-stews was or not a public place in the meaning of the 57th of Geo. III.? TRIAL OF SIR CHRISTOPHER DICKENSON, FOR A LIBEL ON HIS MAJESTY. Mr. Christopher Dickenson, a gentlemanly person, of low statute, and wearing powder, was indicted for pub lishing a libel on his Majesty. ?lr. BOMAN') stated the case for the prosecution. • Simnel Reynolds stated that he saw the defendant, on the Si of 'September, near the Horse Guards; he was reading aloud what he called his proclamation, copies of which he afterwards affixed upr,n the different public buildings close by. The libel was bete put in, and read. We subjoin a copy, as furnishing the strongest possible evidence of the deranged state of this Gentleman's mind:— " I, C. Dickenson having suffered for ten yearn) ) , a most unjust and tyrannical law, and having for the space of seven years applied to his Majesty, the Ministers, and the Parliamentary Gentlemen fur redress and received no answer, I now issue my edict: I proclaim that his Ah.jesty bath maintained an unjust and tyrannical law, and bath not caused justice and law to he administered according to Ids coronation oath ; and I therefore prohibit George the Fourth, commonly called King, front any longer reigning, and command that the next heir be proclaimed King.—Given under my hand at Shrewsbury, in the year 1835. " CH RISTOPH R MUNSON." Other witnesses were examined to prove the publication. • • The unhappy Gentleman appeared wholly unconscious of what Was going on. No do uht could exist of his insanity. The Jury found him guilty of the publication, but pronounced bim insane at the time of so doing. Judgment deferred, and in the mean time the Chairman directed every attention to be shewn to hint. POLICE IN IEL LIG ENCE. GUILDHALL Mr. Jay, the Master of the Aldersgate Workhouse, appeared to answer the compLiint of F.leanor Lloyd, a young woman whose husband bad deserted her, leaving her with three children. She earned her livelihood creditably as a hook folder, but was unable to support her fancily also, and now sought an order for relief in money for one of her children only, then sucking at her breast, having been told by the Parish Officers that they would not relieve her child but by taking it and herself into the Workhouse. Mr. Jay stated, tbat be was ready to take the applicant into the house, and the Alderman (LocAs) said, after that offer, he could not order her to be relieved in any other way. iler husband absconded with a widow, who has left four children chargeable to another parish. A Wire' WITH Two FiIISBA ND% AND A Masse° WITH Two %yrs.—A kindle with two husbands sought tobave her first hos ' band obliged to allow a weekly sum for the support of two children by the second, with whom she still cohabits. The first husband his, unfortunately, also another wife living, and was afraid to resist this unteasonable overture. He, however, offered to send the children to his friends in Wales, but this was not consonant with the feelings of their real parents, and they now wished to extort an allowance in money through the hands of the Parish Officers. Mr. Frewin, the Beadle, met the application by offering to take the children into the Poor-house; and the Alderman said, after that offer, he could not direct any other kind of relief. WORSIIIP-STREET. The driver of the hackney-coach No. 44, appeared in support of a summons against 3lr. Pullen of Canoohnry, for not paying his fare. Mr. Pullen, a few nights since, sent for three coaches from Islington Green to Canonbury, rind thence to take his family and friends to the Haymarket Theatre. On arriving there the complainant wcs ordered to wait, which he did, an d took a part of the family home. Mr. P. had given 2.55. to one of the coach men to pay the rest, but the complainant's demand was 19s. 6d. NIT.. P. denied that the coachman was ordered to wait, and the Magistrate asked hint it he was paid his fare, on arriving at the Theatre? to which he answered in the negative. The Magistrate then said, a coachman WAS not discharged till his fare was paid, and ordered Mr. P. to pay the fare, with is. 6d. to Coachee for attending three time;, two of which Mr. P. failed to appear, and Ss. costs. TOWN-H ALL. T. Rubinson and D. Elliott were chargPd with a daring outrage upon Mr. Sandham, a grocer, in Bermondsey-street. Air. S. was stepping into htd, on Thurmlay night, between 11 and 12 o'clock' when he was alarmed by a violent rapping at his street-door, which descending in his shirt to open, the prisoners, who were utter strangers to him, under pretence of demanding restitution of an apron, dragged him, naked as he was, through the mire of the street, and he was only rescued from their hand; by the assistance of four watchmen. The prisoners pretended they were drunk, which the watchman denied, and they were held to baiL ALARM CP FIRE AT TUE COBURG THEATRE.-=ThUrS• day evening, during the performance at this Theatre, considerable terror prevailed, in consequence of an alarm of fire being raised in the gallery. The mo ment the report was heard, a general rash took place from all parts of the Theatre towards the doors, during which several persons were thrown down in their eager ness to rea:h the outside. Amidst the fear thus occa sioned, upwards of 150 persons out of the pit, rushed on to the stage, while 300 more gained the road in front of the Theatre, from other parts of the house.— The actor s then on the stage ceased, and the perform ance was suspended, until Mr. Davidge stepped for ward and addressed the remaining part of the audience, assuring them that there were not the slightest grounds for the report of fire being raised, which appeared at first to have issued from the gallery. This statement had the effect of quieting all further apprehensions, when the audience again resumed their seats, and the performances went on. Fortunately no accident of a serious nature occurred. Subsequently, it was ascer tained that the report of fire being raised throughout the Theatre, arose in consequence of some persons seated in the back of the gallery, the ceiling of which is ex tremely low, calling out " Lift up the scenes higher"— the latter word being frequently repeated, the audience mistook it for " fire !" A gentleman farmer of Norfolk, who had engaged for a wager of 20 sovereigns, to ride his boar pig from his own house to Wis. beach, which is four miles and a quarter, in one hour, performed the same in fifty minutes. 4 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, STAFFORD RACRS--OweTuit forty Two A Sweepstakes of two sovereigns each, it Two mile heats.
