• MIDDLESEX- ADJOURNED SESSIONS. Richard Williamson stood indicted for assaulting -Archibald Henry Stewart. The prosecutor said he was .employed to call at the house of a Mr. Douglas, the Quarter-Master of the West Middlesex Militia, at Ux bridge, for the purpose of receiving some debts due to a person named Strickland ; there we:e in the room a considerable number of Officers, commissioned and non commissioned, and he was ordered to leave the room. '[he Adjutant, who, he conceived, meant to insult him, aei:ed what he had said concerning the Rep,iment, and added, you must either jump over this whip or out of the window ; he teplied, he should do neither, and kick ing the whip aside, was proceeding out of the door when he was followed by defendant, who pushed him agains: the door and much strained his back. On his cross-examination, he said he was sent for to attend the meeting of the Officers, and had been a Lieutenant in the 18th Native Infantt y. When Captain Brew made use of the obsery :thous, a letter had been read, in his (witness's) hand-writing, reflecting upon the Regiment. John Strickland said, that some time since he leut the Officers of the West Middleex Mietie about 4001. but being unable to obtain it, he employed Stewait to te cover the sum, when he met with the assault lions the defendant, in the manner already stated. On his cross examination, he said he had been a Serjeant-elajor in the Regiment, but left in consequence of the inter ference of the Duke of Portland, and the defendant filled his situation. Mr. ADOLPHUS, who appeared fur the defendant, said, - he regarded tie proceeding as arising fit= spleen on the mot of the two di•mis,ed Officers. Captain Brew, the Adjutant and Captain, was called : He said, on Sttickland leaving the regiment, he com plained that some money was due to him from the Offi cers, and for the ecrpose of inquiry he directed Strick land to send a friend, when the claims should be in quired into. Stewart then attended, and the witness observing him, said, lie was acting the part of a double dealer ; and a letter was lead in his hand-writing.— Stewart then left the room, but no one touched him, or got up to shut the door. A whip was certainly laid down, and the witness supposing Stewart had disgraced the regiment, told him either to go out of the window or over the whip. Surgeon Thornton and other Officers of the Corps gave similar testimony. The CHAIRMAN left the evidence for the considera tion of the Jury, to say on which side they placed the greatest credit.—The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and he was sentenced to pay a fine of 51. Mary Orme was indicted for assaulting Ann Stone, on the 21st of February last. The prosecutrix deposed that she lodged in the de fendant's husband's house. On the day mentioned in the indictment, on going home, she found the street door locked, and the defendant refused to let her in. However, a ladder was procured, and she got in byethe window; the defendant got into her room by a false key, flew at her with a knife, and struck her with it, but the bones in her stays prevented any wound from being inflicted. The defendant was found Guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 13s. 4d. John Peterson was indicted for assaulting Sarah Gashey on the 21st February. The prosecutrix stated, that on the day mentioned, she was going to market, when the defendant met her, seized her violently by the arm, and struck her in the face. He threatened to do for her, and. held her by the throat, the blood all the while streaming down her face. He keeps a chandler's shop, at which she sometimes deals, and she owed him a rifling sum, which was the cause of the quarrel. Cross-examined by Mr. AI. LEY.—Witness and her husband had been held to bail for assaulting defendant. Peterson and his wife were then examined in support of their indictment against Gashey ani his wife ; and said that Gishey and his wife came to Peterson's shop about the bill on the 21st of February, and committed an assault on him. The Jury found Gashey and his wife Guilty; and Pe terson Not Gashey was sentenced to ten days imprisonment, and his wife to pay a fine of 3s. 4d. ATROCMI7B•OUTRAGE.—Monday, the 17th instant, a child, the son of a man named Roche, getting up on a high bank, ,en the lands of Sarsfieldcourt, perceived a labouter, whom his father was in the habit of employ ing, engaged in killing a lamb. The little boy said he would tell his father, when immediately the wretch turned from the lamb he had been engaged with, said that be would take care no tales should be told, and seizing upon . the boy, cut his throat, so as, however, not to divide the windpipe. The child is in"much dane ger, .but still lives. Mi. GREEN'S ascent from the Piece-Hall, in Halifax) ern MOnday last, was peculiarly magnificent ; the pa tience of the immense concourse 01 people assembled, to witness the first thing of the kind ever known there, was in some degree tried by the length of time occu pied in filling ehe balloon. It was iegated before four o'clotis, and the car being attached, it ro , ,e majestically and freely at twenty-five minutes before five. Ilis course, ior about a quarter of an hour, was due north, the greatest part of which time he could be seen from the Hall eknowing that that course would take him into a mountainous country, and where lie would not be likely to meet with immediate assistance, by descending a lit tle he got into another current, which took him north east,.and at ten minutes past six o'clock, he descended into an inclosed meadow, near Hot nby Castle, the seat of the Duke of LEEDS, about four miles from Bedale, is the North Riding, and sixty-three from the place of ascent. Assistance was at hand, and although the wind was strong, the balloon was seemed without sustaining any injary e and ,the intrepid amonaut was kindly . and hospitably entertained by Colonel Poi-es:tee, of Crake Hall. It is supposed he passed in the direction of the left of Bradford, Utley, Ripley, and Kirby Malzeard ; di rectly Gel - Masham and Bedale. After the balloon was secured, it was conveyed to Squire Mercuere.'s, of Ileckfattloand a messenger was immediately dispatched to Bedale for a chaise. Mr. GHEE/4'S ft tenth in Halifax were wa i t ing his• caul n till a Lite hour. A letter was received from him about nine o'clock cm Tuesday motto of his being well and sere ; log, stating the intelligence and about twelve o'clock he made his entry is a chaiie i and four, amidst the acclamations of the Pub:ic. The hills encircling a pail of the town were covered with people to witness the ascent. Thus l‘ir; Glir.EN's in vention of asceedioe with cerbu eetted hydro;en has at the greatest height, *Amu been amply proved. When the mercury stood iii the barometer at e' t) 3-10th inches; the mercus y in thc thermometer fluctuated from 10 co 45. POLICE INTRI.LIGENCE. • BOW-STREET. name parse,—Mr. Ceorge ring was charged with an assault and batterv-on the person of Mrs. Mary Canner. Mrs. Mary Canner is the sister of Mr. George King, and whilst she was Mfg.; ring, there never was a kinder brother than he was; but when she married Mr. Gunner, all his kindness was at an end ; for Mr. Canner is a cos:ermongrr, and Mr. George King being the ; litieal descendant of a long line of chimney-sweepers, and himself a chimney-sweeper of no ordinary talent, he considered it as a cir cumstance extremely derogatory that his sister should descend to marry a costerrionger. So he not only withdrew his countenance from her altogether, but he has never met with her since, that he has not manifested his anger, either by words or blows, and in almost every instance he has given her the blows first, and the ex planation of them afterwards. This conduct was the more cruel, as Mrs. Canner said, inasmuch as her husband, Mr. Gautier, " is a little tircitp man," and, therefore, quite unable to protect her.— I lowever, ,he bore It as will as she could, until a day or two ago, when she "met him promise:alp" in the Strand, and he then and there took uuon him-elf to lick her! And not content with kicking her, he told her to go along for " a dirty donkey-driver's dr,,h; ' and not content with this, he encouraged "the woman he gars Wiling with" to abuse her. !laving stated this much, Mrs. Canner proposed that a jury of matrons should be impanelled front the Ladies then present in the Office, in order that they might depose to the consequences of the kick in qu•..stion. But the Magistrate told her such a ceremony was not at all necessary, and he called upon Mr. George King for his defence. Mr. George King stood before the bench boldly, in ail his sooti ness, with his Mile daughter in his hand; and when his NVorship asked him what he bad to say for himself, he replied—" Say for mycelf, your Worship ! Why I ye this here to say—that she's only w•ea'd becoz I won't let my little daughter here wissit her; and the worst and the brat what f said to her was, ' Poll, don't put yourself in a passion !"fhat's all what I've got to say, your Worship, fur I never kicked her, not by no means." Ordered to find bail far his appearance at the Sessions. A NSIO N-11011SF.- Three boys, named Woodward, Abbott, and Earnshaw, were yes terday brought before the Loan Moron, for his disposal as thieves, found at large with intent to commit depredations. On the f.:9th of March last, at about one o'clock in the morning, a noise was heard in an old ruined house near the 'Binaries. The disturbance bt cape great, and an officer went there to ascertain the cause, when he lound a gang of eight little hungry wretches fighting for the division of a piece of bacon, which they had stolen in the course of the evening. The whole were taken into custody, and brought before the Lord Mayor. Two of them were sent to Bride well, and the other three were sent to the Refuge fur the Destitute. The Officer who took the boys to the Society informed the Lord Mayorthat he had stated the circumstances fully, and the result had been an absolute refusal to admit them. The Loan MAYOR said he had received from the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Crosby, a letter which stated in substance, that the cases' of Woodward, Earnsbaw, and Abbott, had been considered by the Committee, who had directed him (Dr. Crosby) to state that the last two were below the age admissible into the establishment, and that the first was not criminal, and bad a father in employment. and capable of giving work to his son. He begged to be allowed again to remind his Lordship, that the Institution was occupied in the reform of youthful culprits, under which character not one of the above boys can be classed. After some observations on the subject, the Loon Mavott ordered the prisoners to be taken hack to the Compter, until he tried some other place in which they might be taken and saved from the gallows. GUILDII ALL Mr. Gronons, the Superintendant of the City of London Gas Company, attended yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Tamp, to answer a complaint exhibited in the name of Lawrence, the beadle of the Ward of Queenhithe, for having caused certain pavement rear Broken-wharf, Upper Thames-street, to be taken up in the day time, for the purpose of repairing the gas pipes. _ - . . There was no question on the facts, and Mr. Gronons intimated his readiness to plead guilty to the complaint, which he said had originated entirely in the ignorance of their contractor for paving. Mr. Alderman Timer said it was of the utmost importance that these long complained of obstructions in the public streets should be prevented; but as this was the first complaint of the kind, and as it was only the object of the inhabitants to prevent a recurrence of the offence, it would not be necessary for him to do more than im pose a trifling penalty; and he accordingly convicted the party in the penalty of ...os. which Mr. Gronons immediately paid. It may be proper to remark, that in cases of accidents, or upon sudden emergencies that may arise to render it necessary to take up or repair any of the pavement., the Commissioners resident in the different IVards are empowered to give the necessary authority for so doing. MA Y-LA-BONNE. Catherine Sullivan, alias Kitty Busk, servant to a widow who keeps a tavern in the vicinity of the Office, but whose name, from obvious reasons, we conceal, was charged with instigating ber mistress's 4aughter, a mere child, to rob her mother. The unhappy widow, ho appeared overwhelmed in grief, stated, that having for some time past suspected she had been robbed, she examined her drawers and missed a 101. note and two gold watches. She questioned her daughter on the subject, who, at first,strenuously denied any know leage of the property ; but, at length, acknowledged herself to be the culprit, and that she had delivered it to the prisoner, who told her she would make the most of anything she could purloin, and Live her a portion. Sullivan denied that she had instigated the child, who voluntarily brought her the property to dispose of for her, it being her intention to elope with a young man. The Magistrate lamented the situation to which he was reduced, as it was not in his power to commit the vile receiver without also committing the child as the thief. To this the distressed mother, whose utterance was almost choaked will grief, could not consent; and the Magis trate was reluctantly convened to discharge the vile hussey. !ONION-HALL. A middle-aged and respectable-looking man, named Abbott, was brought before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. charged with having assaulted Mary, his wife. The defendant, who appeared to be labouring under much agita tion, delivered himself to the following effect :—Your Worship, on Wednesday last my wife and I were sitting in the parlour toge ther, when the subject of our oenversation turned. upon the late case of C,int. Con. tried in the Court of King's Bench, in which the plaintiff recovered £5OO damages. Mrs. Abbott said, she had not heard of the action before, and expressed a wish to hear some of the facts, which I related to her, and observed, that I was sur . prised the Jury had dealt so very leniently with the defendant,' in awarding such small damages. I also remarked that the Lady who was the cause of the proceedings was a vile hussey,' in con ducting herself so scandalously towards a husband who kad• gone to considerable expense, after his marriage, in paying masters for the purpose of teaching Ili wife all the fashionable accomplish ments a Lady should be mistress of. Upon which, Sir, my wife bridled up, and said, " Mt. Abbott, I ant surprised you should derame the Lady in that way, and I now tell you if I was treated by you as that Lady was by her husband, I chould just do the same tsling." " For GOD'S sake, Mrs. Abbott," said I, "de you mean what you say?"—" Certainly I do," said she, " for if a husband I goes into the country, leaving his wife alone behind him, I think that woman has a right to do what the Lady you told me of did." l was astonished at my wife's declaration, and remarked, that as I was frequently obliged, on account of my business, to leave town for days and nights together, I hoped and trusted she did not play such tricks. To this she made no reply, but said—" I do still think that the lady was not to blame; and I still say, that. I should have acted in the sante manner."—" But, Mrs. Abbot," said I, " you will recollect that we are net young folks, and we have a family of six children to look after."—" Oh !" says she, " that would not hin der tile: neither does it alter my opinion of the rer unfortunate lady." I could restrain my temper no longer: I rose from the chair in which I was sitting, and desired her to quit the apartment im mediately; adding, that she was unworthy of remaining under my rout any longer. She resisted the command, and I admit that I tumed her out, but did not assault her. The defendant added, that after his wife had expressed such opinions of Crim. Con. he could net think of living with her any longer. He had no objection to allow her a separate maintenance of 4/. per month, or indeed any sum the Magistrate would be Owed to suggest. 4r. ALLLM observed, that it the defendant's object was to obtain a divorce from his wife, he must apply to another Court. He was now brought before bim (the Magistrate) for an assault upon his Iwif e , t-hicli was pr ove d, a nd be must find baiL The defendant burst into -tears on hearing this decision, saying, Ithat it Was .a hard case that he Should suffer for endeavouring to correct a very improper notion his wife had formed relative to the s'abject he had alr:ady alluded to.—Bail was then taken, and the I kletentlant was liberated.

BETTING . AT NEWVAIDKET, APRIL 22. There was nor.much betting on either of the Races to-&y, as nearly every winner was plated out, consequently but little thence for the geld.

Betting 7 to 2 on Rebecca. Owing to the very• unfavourable state of the weather to-day, the assemblage of company was less numerous; the sport, however, was good.

Yesterday, Milk* Hetripsciess oppo;eotyMr. Pot.. Loci:, for Messrs. Reid attired. itt4 Messrs. Barclay Co. brewers ; and by Mr. Tot;n4bs in person. The insolvent stated, that he had lately kept a pub lic-house, called the Hart and Plough, of which 111essrs. Reid and Co. were the landlords. lie had borrowed 2(10/. of a Mrs. ',mock when about to commence busi ness, and 1001. of his father, and had a little money also of his own ; but when he was in treaty for die public house, he did not inform his landlords that the whole of this capital was not his own, consequently they ad vanced him another 1001. After having been in business some little time, Mrs. Locock procured a warrant of attorney from him, wheieby she recovered her money. He disposedofth good-will of the house for 1551. and received altogetbc; 360/. from the new tenant, of which he paid 1.01. to biz. father. His father had been for many years in tl-ze set. vice of Mr. Courts, of Piccadilly,. where he saved the money he had lent to the in s olvent. He was a ciedizer in his schedule for the balance. Mr. Toombs stated, that he had agreed to give tit insolvent 1601. for the public-house, and paid hila as a deposit; the house was let to another, and the de. posit never returned. The insolvent said, that Messrs. Reid and Co. would not accept of Mr. Toombs as a tenant. The COURT ob-erved, that there was no reason for not returning him his 201. but that was not the poi,,t before them. • They were of opinion that a clear case of undue piefetence and fraudulent transfer of prope:tv had been established against the insolvent, and the' efo, e oi dere" him to be remanded for eight calendar months, and confined within the walls of the prison. Jeremiah Jones Beading was not opposed ; but it ap. pealed that he had been discharged under the Act in July last, when he omitted to insert the present debt in 'his schedule. In the latter end of July, IF‘22, he pur chased a quantity of watches and jewellery for a person, who was to send them abroad to Sir Thomas Maitland ; but the party to whom they were consigned absconded, and had not since been heard of. In consequence of this transaction, the insolvent was indicted by the yea dor of the goods, and acquitted ; and therefore it %vas, that he had omitted (by his attorney's advice) to the debt in his former schedule. Ile never received the smallest portion of the proceeds of the goods. The COURT said, that the insolvent could not ht discharged without the consent of three-fourths of his. creditors. Insolvent.—Then I shall he consigned to imprison ment all the days of my life. The COURT said, that at the utmost his confinement would nor exceed five years. Insolvent.—l shall not live half that time. I am now 72 years of age. The COURT informed him he must comply with the order.—He was accordingly remanded. William nisselton, a police-officer of Hatton•garden, was oppposed by Mr. PoLLocic for the late SheritL, Messrs. Lucas and Thomson, trader the vexatious liti gation section. He went bail to the Amount of 201. ter Ford, the chief clerk, for which sum, upon Ford's de fault, he was sued. Ford took defeilce to the action for the insolvent, and afterwards absconded. The COURT ordered him to be remanded for ten weeks from the date of filing his petition ; which period will expire in about ten days. lil wrus. Tuesday, in Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square, the }lon.
