SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday, Hugh Li.le, an elderl, and Arahans Lu.e, his son, a lad about nine yews of age, stood indicted for unlawfully tendering in pay ment a counterfeit sixpence, and the said Hugh Lisle with having forty-three counterfeit sixpences in his man upon crutches, possession. Verdict, : Guilty. Sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, Brixton, and there to be kept to hard labour. Edward Par:ridge, aged twelve years, was indicted for feloniously stealing a bat, value 20s. the property of Samuel Partridge, on the 13th June last. It appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner were b: others, and that the present proceedings were adopted from motives of humanity to the prisoner, in order, it possible, to save him from a disgraceful end. The pri soner had, for r.early the last five years, been connected with a gang of thieves about his own age, who,e depre dations in the neighbourhood of the Borough had been carried to an alarming extent. The prisoner had re peatedly committed robber ies on his parents and neigh bours, and had been (in consequence of his youth), sent to the House of Correction at Brixton, six times fnt 'such offences; but all reformation appeared ho?elcss. as he had only been out of confinement a few days when he committed the robbery tow complained of: The case being satisfactorily proved, the Jury' returned a verdict of Guilty. The CIIZILMAN, on• passing sentence, observed, that it was la mentable to see SO young.a persteras the prisomr so depraved, and that iu 'item to him the sentence rat the.oourt was, that he be trans ported for the term of seven yeari,:-.-rthe poisoner-appeared, duri!:g the trial, with a smile on his countettanui.

Linent, the well-known traveller, sailed from Li verpool on Sunday last, for the Mediterranean, in com pany with his Lady, the Princess of Dongqla and fa mily.' This Gentleman is a native of France; but having long resided in northern Africa, he assumes the Turkish dress, which he well becomes. His fine ap pearance and that of his Lady, who wore a splendid Egyptian costume,. attracted considerable notice, while they remained at Liverpool. M. Linent, it is said, pure poses proceeding on a journey of discovery up the Nile, and, if successful, will probably return homeward from some part of the southern coast of Africa. LivanpooL, JULY 16.—The arrivals at this port, from foreign parts, have, duringthe present week, been more numerous than for several years past in the same space. They amount to nearly 100 sail, exclusive of vcsels from Ireland and coastwise. The import of cotton from the United States and the Brains has been' uncommndy heavy, amounting, in five days, t r not much short of 50,000 bake and bags. The cotton market has, iu consequence, been in rather a depressed state, accompanied with a trifling reduction in prices. The New York cotton market was, according to the latest accounts, very dull also. To-day the packet-ship Wiliam Thompson arrived with nearly SO cabin pas sers& is. The packet-ship Pacific, for New York, *re mains wind-bound. Thursday Last, as two children,-the i one six, and the other three years old, were playing by the side of the Le minister Canal, accompanied by a-mastiff dog, in en. deavouring to Rush the dog into the watekthe youngest cltild fell in. The An coal immediately plunged in, and; seizing the child by the head, its cap came off in his Mouth, with which he swam out, and placed it on the shore; but jumped in a second time, and brought Out the little one, by carefqlly lifting it by the shoulder. The father, who was emplbyed in the coal-yard, at a dis;ance. - having missed the children, went out in search of th em, and arrived just as the dog had landed his little charge. BYO/WNW/SD—The Police of Paris have adopted a very singular method to' secure the people from mad dogs. Just before the conitnencementof warm weather, notice was given, that all a grfoundin the streets, after a cer ain date, wfold Ledestroyed. The n;ght previous to the expiration of the date, the police efficers procured a quantity of poisoned' sausages, with which they baited the city in different parts to allure the dogs. A few hours after daybreak. a most- distressing scene was witnessed. Dogs were seen dead, or in the agonies of death, in every part of the city ; and after that day, not a single dog was to be found at large.

Mr. Horn declined to receive them; and replacing them in the side-pocket of the plaintiff's cost, dragged him a few yards, which was the assault complained of.

VirkV l I have just returned froat a visit on board Lord Cochrane's fi,:e frigre the Peranga, which is now lying off Spit' c id. Since her arrival, she has been the ob ject of general attention, and her decks have beentAlaily. and !lowly crowded with visitors. This attraction has certainly beencreated more by her distinguished Com wander, their brany striking curiosity about the ship itself. She is a frigate of the largest size, her guns, rigging, stores . &c. are arranged precisely , in the same manner as in our English ships of war. Everything on beard; however, is at present in great disorder and disrepair, and she more resembles one of our vessels put into harbour to refit in war time, than the neat aad trim appe .rance which an English man of war.presents in time of peace. Her crew, of which not more than a third are at present on board, consists of young men, from the age of seventeen to twenty-one. They are a fine set of men, 1 ,oking; most truly. as though " their home was on the deep." They are all of Lord Coch. rane's own. selectioa, who unlormly evinces a desire to take boys in preference to experienced se amen on board his ship, and seems to wish, as it ware, himself to have the training of them. The most Tema: kable difference that struck me to exist between this Brazilian frigate aad one in our service is, that. she had no marines on board. In the place of them, at the head of the gang s% av, on each side of the vessel, and in different parts. of the deck, are stationed young Portuguese &tilt rs cf very dark colour, dressed in a white summer dress, and each armed with a cutlass. 'though less lormide le than our marines, the appearance of these lads is striking and warlike. The only oth. , r difference worthy or, noticeis, that the Lieutenants • in the Brazilian service wear two epaulettes, and the uniform of the Midshipmen is slmewhat more ornamental than those in our's. The whole crew speak with a respect bordering on enthu siasm of their Admiral, Lord Cochrane, of their admiration of his talents, and confidence in his valour. I have been anxious to ascertain the object of the ar rival of the Peranga at this moment on our shores, and the result of my inquiries is, that this visit is certainly not an accidental one. A pretext was assigned that she put in to refit, but this is quite unsatisfactory and unfounded, from an assurance I received on board, that Lnrd Cochrane left his own ship the Don Pedro, a 74, at Maranham, and drafted the greater portion of her crew intosthe Peranga, for the purpose of coming to England. As to aay repairs that were necessary for thePeranga, I was further assured that they could as easily have been done at Maranham: as at Portsmouth. Indeed, it was frankly declared on board, that it was the Admiral's business that brought them to England, but whether that business be of a private or public na ture, they either did not knose, or were naturally un willing, to disclose. If a person might be permitted to conjecture on such a subject, I. should say that mired motives of a public and private nature induced Lord C chrane to the present visit to his native country. — The residence of Lady Cochrane in England will sa tisfactorily account for his Lordship's visit on private grounds, and the close intercourse that has subsisted between Lord Cochrane and our vessels abroad, will in some degree lead one to believe that in his induce ments to revisit England, political considerations have had no small share. Indeed, I am enabled to state, from a source, on which reliance may be placed, that the Commissioners sent out from this country to South America, have interchanged frequent civilities, such as dinner parties, fetes, &c. with Lord Cochrane, and that they have made acknowledgments in their communi cations to England, that they were greatly aided, and that the fulfilment of the objects of their commission, were in many instances materially facilitated by the advice and assistance of Lord Cochrane. We hear that the bodies of several persons are now lying in the crypt of lidington Church, mho owned, who have fallen victims to the alarming beat of the weather. Several horses dropped dead in the cours•of yeetarday, in diihreint parts of the metropolis. A letter from Pailadelphia, dated Jane 15, says, "On the last birth-day of Waangscsiton, the Liberator BOLIVAR paid a visit to the United States squadron, at Chorillos • and was saluted from the frigate United States and the sloop of war Peacock. The British ship CAMIPRIDOZ, 74, and the Chilian squadron, also sa luted the Liberator, — the three squadrons thus com bined in evincing their respect for the character and • talents of one of the first men of the age." Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. Duna, of Bexhill, attained his ninetieth year, and according to custom, celebrated his birth-day, by giving an excellent dinner at his house 'to about fifty of his friends and neighbours. Mr. Dux! I also ordered 150 stone of good beef to be distributed amongst the neighbouring poor. The principal part of the master clothiers in Clerk heaton have agreed to the advance of wages, and the spinners and weavers have resumed their work on terms from 2s. to 4s. in their favour. .. - DEATH BY DRowNlNO.—Friday afternoon, at six o'clock, as a party of boys were bathing in the River, at Chiswick, uff one of his Grace the Duke of Devetz stun E'S fields, called Cerney Mead, a lad, sixteen years of age, named Henry Butts, got out of his depth, and 'being entangled in the weeds, sunk almost instantly. The Duke was walking on the law's at the time, and on witnessing the catastrophe, hastened to the spot, and evinced the most intense anxiety to recover the body., The drags belonging to the Humane Society, kept at the Red Lion, Chiswick, were immediately sent for; but, we regret to add, were not in order, and, conse quently, could not be used. The Duke begged, among '.the many Gentlemen who assembled-in their boats, that - one would row over to Barnett, for the nets kept there, which was done, and in the meantime the nets of some fishermen were sent for from Hammersmith, but the tide being against them, a considerable delay arose. The net arrived, and was drawn over the reeds, bat un successfully; and after about three quartersot an hour, the body was fished up by a water man's oar, and taken to Mr. Mash's, a tenant of the Duke's, close by (by the Duke's desire), where every exertion recommended by L the Society was used. After two hours, however, it was found that every effort was useless. The Duke, wh -n he found all their labours in vain to resuscitate the body, assured the brother of the poor lad that he would relieve the distressed parents (the father is a 'bricklayer at Hammersmith) in every way he could.

I shall discharge you now • but you must remember that frolics of this description must not been couraged, and the next one of the sort will nut be so lightly over looked.—The prisoner was then discharged. BOW-STREET. Monday, Sir IL 13:10111 was occuplid the greater part of the • afternoon in the examination of Mr. Wm. Christmas, late a elerkin the banking house of Messrs. lloares, whose name has so efteo appeared in the public prints, in connection with that of a well known actress of Covent-Garden Establishment, he being charted with having embezzle d an Exchequer Bill for sel,ooo,thepropehy of his late employers, and applied the proceeds to his own use. The exa. mtnation took place in a private room, but we learned that the leading facts of the case are these s—The prisoner had been about fifteen years in the employment of Messrs.Hoares,and a considerable degree of respect was entertained for him by the Firm, but since his connec tion with the Lady alluded to there had been so many statements, and such frequent exposures in the Public Papers, respecting that connection, that the partners felt themselves called upon to dismiss Mist. They had, moreover, discovered, that he had lately taken a splendid house near East Acton, at which he and the Lady resided, and that they had set up their carriage. The partners, in conse quence, of this discovery were the more confirmed in their determi nation not to keep him any longer in their service, and about a fort night ago he was dismissed. In the course of his employment he was entrusted with the negotiation of Exchequer Bills to a large amount, and after his discharge from the firm it was discovered that he had embezzled and applied to his own use one bill for sel,ooo and that there was ton much reason to suppose that his di4toneit7 was not confined to that single transaction. One of the partners in oessequenoe applied at this Office on Monday morning, and Salmon Was sent to apprehend the prisoner. He was conducted, en his ar rival; toss private room and immediately afterwards sent for. bie RICKARD Ibetne, and offered to make a full disclosure of all that bt could be charged with, but Sir RICHARD declinetthearing any col fusion until the prosecutors came. When the examination wile going on, the prisoner professed the same willingness to disclose everything, and after some conversation on that subject, he was in- formed that be might make any communication he pleased by letter to his late employers after he had reached the prison to which he would be sent. He was committed to the House. of Correction, Cold Bath fields, for further examination, and was informed that his Solicitor might have an order to visit him, but that leave would not be given for the admission of friends indiscriminately. He will bore examined next week.
