Saturday, Henry Slifer wis indicted for an assault upon P4tience Prawn a young and interesting female, about eighteen years Of age, under the foible/mg dis graceful and unmanly circumstances.: The prisoner, a respectable looking young man, and a herald painter by profession, bad been acquainted with the prosecutriz some time, and when she was little more than fifteen years of age, having secured her affections, succeeded, in an unguarded moment, in betraying her innocence. The fruit of this unhappy connexion was a child, which only lived a few months, during which time it was entirely taken care of by the prosecutrix and her mother, a respectable widow woman of Bristol. It was stated, that the death of the poor infant was accelerated by the brutal treatment of the prisoner towards the mother during her pregnancy. Haring made to the prosecutris however. a promise of marriage, the acquaintance bel tween the parties was still kept up ; doubtless. On her ' part, from a hope that, notwithstanding his inhuman conduct upon many occasions, be would still make her the only reparation in his power for the injury be bad inflicted. On Sunday evening, the 21st May, the pri soner persuaded the prosecutrix to take a walk with him to Hanhans, in the course of which he wanted her to go with him into an ale-house on the road side, which she declined, from a sense of the impropriety of such a step.l Incensed at her refusal, he began quarrelling with her, 'snatched her parasol out of her hand, and struck her with it upon the head and shoulders, till it was broken to pieces. lie likewise stamped upon her feet with peat violence, and committed other unmanly force. Silent, and in tears, she pursued her way home, still accompa nied by the prisoner, till she reached a ferry which it was necessary for her to crow. The prisoner got into the boat with her, and when they had attained the other side, and the boatman had pushed back again, the pre , - goner renewed his brutal behaviour, struck her with his fist several times on the river bank, and at length. with one very severe blow, felled her senseless to the ground; and, bad not her clothes providentially been caught by the comp of a tree, she must have fallen into the water, when her death might have ensued. On reeoveriag her senses the prisoner was gone, and she found her way home as well as she could. The mother, who was the only other witness ex :mined, de2osed to the agitated state of the presets trix when she got home, the disordered appearance of her dress, ana the marks of excessive violence epos her person. Both mother and daughter underwent a long crow examination, but their testimony was not in the least .Shaken ; and the prisoner ag;ravated the atrocity ig i the 'ease,. by a futile attempt to impeach the respecteXlityl • of the tirosetutries another. Th e jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of The Rev. Cnatossort, in passing eunteatememmente strong and merited severity upon the and h el ot eimedips el tbs prisoner.

Robberies of shops and warehouses, for the last two months, have become alarmingly frequent In the City, and chiefly on Sundays, in the abacus of the occupants of the premises, or of servants, who are I entrusted to take charge of them. [ Yeeteeday, a servant girl was brought before Mr. Aid. Tool,. (who at for the Lord Mayor), and charged on suspicion of having been privy to the robbery of a warehouse In Iladsghill•street. Mr. Isaac Hanlsworth stated that be is the occupant of a woollen troth warehouse, at No. 44, Baslngball.street ; the upper part of the boost was occupied by a Gentleman named Burke.

The door of Je warehouse, l opeolog Into this private passage, was also locked. On Monday morning his man came running to him breathless, stating that the warehouses bad been broken open, and robbed. On examining the premises, It appeared that the door of the premises, which opened into Mr. Berke's private passage, had been opeoed by meats of picklock keys, sad goods bad been taken out to the value of Atsoo. A large quantity of other good. had been packed up ready for to. moval.

PILSIIt MIX; JULY 21.—Sir ROD SAT Steenweg revived at Pembrokelrard last week from 'London. He is nit leave of absence, and being unwell, visits this neigh bourhood for the benefit of his health. Sir Rimini' it so much better as to be able to take horse exerei,e daily. They have commenced building up the bar racks in San. derland, with brick instead of wood, with sr hick ;bate rial they were at first constructed. The east row is to be taken down altogether, which will make it sit y and healthy, and to be enclosed by a wall instead of the pre sent wood railing. Mr. Joshua Henderson, oTthe parish of Stanhor, in • Weardale, cattle dealer, was robbed of a considerable -sum of money in a lane between Hamsterley and Bed burn, on Thursday 'last, by a person who- pretended tl conduct him so far on the road. It appears that Mr. llersderson had been in rather an intoxicated state at the time. A reward of ten guineas being offered for his apprehension, the thief was soon after taken, and is now committed to take his trial at the present Durham Assizes. This makes 15 prisoners for trial there. The pickpockets were last week busy at their c riling during the Glasgow fair—and the chief field of their operations was amongst the crowd at the shows. One novice in the profession committed a sad mistake the other night, by putting his inexperienced fingers into the pocket of *Lean, the criminal oGcer, and gently taking from thence a pair of handcuffs, which &Keats obligingly showed him the use of, and marched him off to the Office, to ttie great amusement of the bystanders. Madame Vestals left Waterford with Mr. Hoerr, in her travelling carriage, for Cork. Nothing could be more lacrymose than her concert at Waterlord. The stage was ttoilighted with half a dozen tallow candles ; half a doses more dimmed the spate where the or chestra was not. Mr. Hoare sat strumming an unfor tunate piano in- urn merry antique. Miss Notts sung her belt, and Winn her worst. Her little nose was turned up in disdain, and her pretty lip pouted unut terable hatred to a thin audience, who sat weary on benches in the pit, for there ate no boxes at Waterford.

WOODS ow Fzar..--The undivided common between Hezhamshire and Allendale, has been en fire for the last three weeks, and is still burning. The moss and peat have been consumed to a considerable depth. The cause of this, like the other similar moor fires, is Dot certainly known, but the poachers are suspected, justly or unjustly. The fire which has been raging for tome time on Bowes Moor. Bordersdale, and the adjoining fells on the borders of Westmoreland, still renames tut-. extinguished. The injury it has done is incalculable. The - ling, the moss, and the peat of many thousand acres have been consumed. The food of immense aura ben of sheep has not only been destroyed, but the great proportion of the game, with its unfledged offspring, must have suffered. Different causes have been assigned for this dreadful conflagration. It has been attributed by some to the power of the sun and the long continued drought ; by some to lightning, mid by others to peach eat, The last opinion appears to prevail pretty generally in Westmoreland, and the severity which has been , eeenised towards the poachers is opposed to base induced them thus to revenge themselves, depeiviag others of shooting, sport in which they are not allowed to participat. • • a***** PIRA Tuonlap eennight, at Kilkenny.
