Yesterday evening, the Eclipse packet, from Ostend, arrived bere with passengers, and this morning the King George, Ostend packet, made this harbour, with passengers, and a neither of stout cart-horses, of the Flemiji breed, which are landing. A third Ostend packet also arrived here to-day, with an extra Mail, it is said. Ramsgate harbour has now nearly SOO sail of vessels ; many of them have got out several times, and been obliged to put back from the Downs, the wind having returned to the old quarter. Nothing can prove more clearly the utility of Ramsgate harbour, than the great number of vessels, of various descriptions, it has afforded shelter to for many weeks past, which must convince impartial nautical men that it is well situated Fax a packet station for Ostend and Calais, particularly Idle former, as Ramsgate is nearer to that place than lolly neighbouring port on this coast, as a number of packets, steamers, and ethers, come here after trying Dover ; whereas, had they steered direct for Ramsgate, from Calais or Ostend, half the time, as well as distress and inconvenience in many instances, might have been saved ; for vessels of the packet description can come into, as well as leave, Ramsgate harbour, at any time of .the tide. Riaffl :~!!a!! -~ assiiii. . - . 1 "rggv , KINGSTON. DECEMBRIt Willirrnr Detnhaut stood indicted, on the Coroner's Inquisition, .for having, on the 17th November, wilfully murdered Caroline Dewhurst, his infant daughter. The prisoner, when placed at the bar, appeared very faint; a chair was offered him by Mr. KERRIDGE, the Solicitor, for the prosecution, which he gladly accepted. The application of water appeared to revive him. The evidence adduced (that of Elizabeth Adams and the two watchmen) being the same as that given at the Police Office, and published some time since in our Pa per, we only add that which contains some novelty. John Swift—l am a surgeon, and reside in East-lane, Walworth ; at about three in the morning of the 18th Nov. I went with Mrs. Dewburst and Mrs. Adams to prisoner's house; I found him in the middle of the bed. room between the watchmen; he had no hat or shoes on; he was using insolent language to them. I asked what was the matter? he said, nothing; he asked me what business I had there? I said I had come to see a child; he said there was nothing the matter with the child ; it had only fallen down stairs a few days back, and he requested I would leave the house and go abcut my. business. I went to a corner of the room, where there was something covered with a rug or flannel : I removed it and saw the child; there were marks of violence on the face ; I said I must insist upon ex amining the child ;he said, " I'll be d—d if you shall." Gave him in charge; he was taken down stairs. Previ ously I said to him, " your child is neatly dead"—he seemed rather agitated, and said calmly, " I hope not, it can't be deacr—he added, that he had always done his duty to it. After he was removed I examined the child ; the legs, thighs, arms, and neck wete also much bruised, particularly along the spine and on the buttock. I took means for the revival of the child. I went down mairs for warm water, to put the child in a bath ; I then e aw the prisoner, who I asked to get a candle, for the P urpose of lighting the fire to make the water hot.— H here was only the light from the watchman's lantern. e replied, that he should not—that he was not accus `omed to housekeeping—knew nothing about the can dies, and that I might ask " that person out of doors," meaning, as I supposed, his wife. I went to her, but she did not come in. I spoke to the prisoner of the bruises on the child. He said they were produced by a fall she had had a few days back. During the time the prisoner was sitting in the kitchen, he said to me, " I have done something that would hang me"—his hand was resting on his forehead ; he appeared in a calm state, and rather sullen ; up stairs he had been in a violent passion ; I returned to the bed-room with the watchmen, and examined the room ; there were several ( large patches of blood on the floor, wainszotting, and wall ; the next morning I saw hair, apparently human, I attached to a patch of blood on the wall ; the state of the child could not be inflicted by a fall down stairs a week previously ; Mr. Thorp, a surgeon, iftetwards at tended the child with me until its death, about eleven o'clock in the morning ; after its death we opened the head, and fodnd much blood on the brain, beneath thei bruises; the cause of death was an oppression on they, brain, caused by external violence; the bruises were) such as might have been produced by the dashing of I the child against the wall ; 1 bad never before seen the prisoner, and cannot give an ()pinion of his state of mind ; he appeared, when first, I saw him, in a pa roxysm of passion. John Walters, Governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol. —Prisoner has been in my custody about six weeks; I have generally seen him twice a day ; I have observed that he dislikes conversation ; I never saw any symp tom of insanity ; he now, as at first, in my opinion, is perfectly sane. MroJustice Bounounts called upon the prisoner for his defence. He whispered that ho would leave it to his Counsel. Dr. Uwins—l am a physician, in Bedford-row, Lin den ; on the 14th of March I visited the prisoner ; I have attended him but twice; he was in that condition of brain that I thought it would terminate in insanity ; the nerves were affected, although not sufficiently to exhibit outward acts of insanity ; I do not consider that his mind was then deranged, but I considered that derangement would follow ; I thought loss of rea son would probably be the result of his then state. Thomas Sibrey—l am a surgeon, and reside in the Blackfriars Road ; I have attended the prisoner for two years ; I think, during the last ten months, he has been pattially deranged ; he has rung me up at all hours, ,night and morning, in a state of great agitation, so much so that I have been obliged to have him confined upon a sofa until he recovered; in the latter end of August I was obliged to keep him at my house for three or four hours, until I sent for his wife, and di rected her to take him home in a coach ; I consider the, prisonet in that disordered state of the nervous spstem, that at intervals he possessed no controul over his ac tions; he is a man of highly cultivated mind and acute, sensibility ; his misfortunes in business always greatly affected hint when he referred to them, which he some times did in conversation with me. Dr. Price—l reside in East Smithfield, and have had occasions of seeing the prisoner ; I attended Mrs. Dew burst in her confinement; for two months I was in the prisoner's house daily ; his conduct towards a child who died during the confinement of his wife was most affectionate, more so than I had ever witnessed before ; he did not pull off his clothes for the eight days and nights the child was ill ; he is a man of a highly culti vated mind and acute sensibility. Dr. Forsyth considered the prisoner to have laboured under mental affection, from observations on his conduct and state in October last. Henry Green, sirgeon;of Comm.— considered the prisoner insane. The Learned JUDGE thought it only necessary to state to the Jury the law of the case. It was obvious that the prisoner was subject to temporary derange ment. Had it been otherwise, the murder, would, per haps, have been sufficiently established. It was beyond all doubt that the prisoner had killed his own child— an act abhorrent to humanity. But the act itself was proof of the prisoner's insanity. Indeed the evidence on the part of the prosecution established the fact of the ptisoner having been in a state of derangement imme diately after the commission of the fatal act. Would a sane man have attempted to convince those about him, that the appearance of the child had been produced by a fall a week previously ? He thought that circum stance sufficient evidence of a disordered intellect. His LORDSHIP then read the evidence for the defence, which having concluded, he observed that the Jury would be justified in ending a verdict of Not Godly, because at the time of committing the afence he was in an insane state of mind. The Jury returned a verdict according to his Lordship's sugges tion.—The prisoner was then aseibted front the brr.

The cirOtustanies of this cite were 'fatly stated iq the STAR at the time the accident happened. Our readers will 'recollect that while the prisoner went to cupboard to alt a piece frOM i loaf 'of bread, the de ceased pursued him ins treat .fission, and in the Con: fusion that ensued the fatal acclient took lAice.

We have authotity for stating, that the account df the failure of Sir H.Dviv's experiments on the preserk vation of the copper sheeting of the SAMARA % gives in the Hampshire Telegraph last week, and copied into most of the London Papers, is a fabrication. Dudfield, the notorious receiver of stolen ptopetty, who was convicted on Wednesday last at Kingston, for having received some of the notes of which the steward of Earl Cowmen was robbed, was so dishonest atn , lng thieves, that his conviction caused not the slightest le vet in Shire-lane, Petticoat-lane, Angel-alley, or arty other of those places to which the abandoned of both sexes resort. His father educated him, strictly in all the ' elements of fraud, and was himself for 34 years no torious as carrying on the trade of a receiver of stolen goods, or fence. In the case for which Dudfield was tried, he had promised the family-men (so called front their breaking into houses in which families reside) £750 for the whole produce of the robbery of Earl Comma's steward, but he gave no more than CM.— In some instances, the thieves have been even with him, and he has found it necessity to shell out, from the fear that information waled be given tax those who were robbed. It is calculated that the compromises he has been obliged tike in consequence of . his , fears of losing all, hauls cost him as much as he could have made for the last four or five years.. When he was con veyed to the j4ce-room, he d—d the Police for daring to lay hands opt a gentleman who had more property than all of them put together. He whistled, and sung obscene songs, and swore that the pet son who took 5,50 sovereigns out of his hands, was guilty of nothing less than a robbery. He, however, lost some of his cons dence when he found that he was to be committed. He now derives hope from the invalidity of some parts of the Act of the 3d of Geo. IV. under which he has been convicted, and epos which the Judges have expressed doubts. A point has been reserved for the consideration of the Judges; and Justice Bun &Goon told him upon his trial, that, if the Judges decided the point of law in his favour, he 'Should be pat donech—lt is not =Gs stated in son ... of the Moining Papers, that Du .s mother is dead : she is still living, and is the proprietor of more than one house of infamy. • • #. -\~S A * t GLASGOW, DECEMBER rt. Sunday morning the Clyde had risen to a heigh t unknown in this city since the memorable flood of 1782- The river had been very considerably swain an Thurs day night,but decreased a little on the evening of Fr ida y. The thaw, which had only been partial, on Friday evening, became general, and as the night advanced, an exceeding heavy rain, with a strong gale from the S.W. commenced. About six o'clock, am. the river began rising in earnest, and continued increasing the whole of Saturday, and Saturday night, till about six or seven o'clock on Sunday morning, when it had at tained its utmost height.
