Amongst the many dreadful occurrences which fall tinder our notice, we have to add the following lament able case of manslaughter, perpetrated by a father upon the person of his own son, an infant of between six and seven years of age, and the dreadful catastrophe arose from giving way to art unbounded fit of passion, excited by a cause the most trivial. The unhappy man, who now stands charged upon the Coroner's warrant for the offence, is a Mr. Banton, a person about 50 years of age, and holding a respect able situation in society, that of Steward to Thomas Boner, Esq. of Elmstead-lodge, about two miles below Bromley, tent. It appeared that the child went daily to school to Bromley, but on account of the distaace, was ..in the habit of going home only once a day, at the close of the school, in the evening. About ten days since, the boy, upon leaving school, loitered on his way, which occasioned him to arrive home considerably after the usual time. Thon.going in doors, his father questioned him as to the cause which - had kept him so long, and not receiving a satisfactory answer, ordered the child into a rrom. On entering the room, the door was fastened by the father,when it appeared he took up the rail of a chair, .which wstlying on the floor, and began to chastise the poor child is a most unmerciful manner;' the cries of Abe •thild only served -to exasperate the frenzied 6t -which• bad taken possession of the father: The child, *ndeavouring to aioid the blows, stooped, when, horri •ble to relate, the stick lighted with the utmost violence —upon-the back part of the child's head, and in an instant be fell senseless upon the ground, the blood gushing in tot rents from the wound. The. unhappy Man, upon seeing the fatal effects, which his passion had occasioned, instantly gave the alarm. The intelligence was in- 1 Knotty carried to the house of his master, and a mes senger was despatched for surgical aid. /n the course of a quarter of an hour - a surgeon arrived, who attempted to bleed the child,bat medical aid was of no avail, the vital spark having fled. The medical Gentleman, Upon finding his skill of no use, inquired how the accident had occurred? w.hen a female who was present stated, that the parent of the child had been chastising him with a stirrup, and the buckle of which had entered the bead. At this instant the unfortunate mother rushed into the room, exclaiming that her child had been mur tiered, and that it had been done by the rail of the chair, and not by the stirrup. A . further examination then took place, when a violent blow was discovered near the abdomen, which, from the discolouration, was evidentiy produced by a kiLic, but which the same female endea- toured to account for, by saying the child had been bathed with strong vinegar.• Upon the day following the dreadful catastrophe, the Coroner held an inquest on the body, when, after the examination of twu wit nesses, a verdict of a Manslaughter" was returned ; and the unfortunate man was committed to Maidstone gaol, 'to take his trial at the sessions for the offence.

BERWICIL, JULY 14.—Saturday, the Dundee smack, of DUndee, on her passage from that port to London, stood off our harbour, and sent a boat on shore with the body of het captain, Robert Spink, who had died sud denly in the course of - the night. The preceding e►ening he was in perfect health, and walked the deck in his usual manner. Saturday a coroner's inquest, on view of the body, returned the foll Owing verdict—‘ , That the deceased bad died by the visitation of GOD."

Asenonossv.—On the Ist day of August next, Venus and Jupiter, the two most beautiful planets of our system, will appear to the naked eye to be in contact. They will set together two hours and a quarter atter the sun, or about half-past ten o'clock. As it will then be nearly new moon, this interesting appearance will pro bably excite great attention. Late on the night of Sunday, or early on the morn. mg of Monday last, Robert Adam or Adams, Edward .11'Dougal, and Johh M'Donald, prisoners in Montrose gaol,for acts of swindling and theft,effected their escape, by breaking through the north wall. Two cases of sudden death occurred at Edinburgh on Saturday. About twelve o'clock a travelling diapason sat down on a seat, near Springfield, on Leith Walk, and almost immediately expired.—About half air hour after, an old man, who was employed in holding a pole' with a lottery placard , in front of the Register Office, dropped down, and expired a few'minutes after. Friday, a young woman, carrying a child, was acci dentally rode over by a loaded cart, on the Lothian road, near Edinburgh. Aware of her danger, she threw the child from her, which escaped unhurt, but the girl her self was so dreadfully bruised that she died in conse quence, next day. The Bishop of DURHAM arrived at his Castle at Bishop Auckland, on Friday last. On his entering into the county. at Croft Bridge, which separates it from the .county of York, he was met by the Officers of the See, the Mayor and Corporation of S:ockton, and several of the principal Nobiiity and others of the county. here A sort of ceremony was performed, which had its origin in the feudal times. After this the procession, consisting of between forty and fifty carriages and a great number of horsemen, which altogether had a most imposing ap pearance, moved forward to its place of destination.— When it arrived at Darlington, his Lordship and corn pany baked at the head inn in that town, where they partook of an excellent cold collation. At this place his Lordship's frank and generous disposition was mani fested by his affability and familiarity with every one. 'They then resumed their progress; and on approaching his Lorihhip's beautiful and magnificent castle, at Mick land, he was bailed with every demonstration of joy. A distinguished American Physician describes, in nearly the following language, the scenes of misery which mark the track of spirituous liquors Houses without windows, - gardens without fences, fields without tillage, barns without roofs, and children without prin ciples, clothing, morals, or manners." "Ardent spirits," says he, "crowd the Sheriff's docket, fill our gaols with crimiaals, our hospitals with patients, and our church-. yards with premature graves." A man who had estab lished a tippling house was about to erect his sign, and requested his neighbour's advice as to what inscription he should put on it. The man replied, I advise you to write on it " Beggars made here." Tuesday, as a workman was descending a well, which was digging near Newington Green, the rope broke, and precipitated him a depth of 20 feet, by which both his ancles were dislocated, and he was dreadfully bruised. Sunday night, a Gentleman, in company with two Ladies, resident in the neighbourhood of Finsbury , square, was returning in his gig from the conntry,when the horseprecipitated them with great violence on the pavenseot. They all sustained severe bruiies, but one of the Ladies was much hurt. The shafts of the gig were broken to pieces, and, during the confusion, some heat tins wretch carried off a travelling bag containing various articles. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BIANSION-HOUSE. Samuel aimed and Men. his wife, were charged under the fol lowing circumstances :—William Lempey. a porter, it appeared, bad some dispute with the male prisoner, who has long been consi dered a stone-blind man, and the blind man was said to be of a most vindictive disposition. He was at his window one day, when the prosecutor addrained him from the street, and when three or four other persons were present. Although he was so blind be took up s brick-bat threw it where he heard the voice issue from, and struck LetnOel with it, and upon another occasion aimed at another voice, which was offensive to him, and bit the owner of it as unerringly. It was therefore supposed that the plea of blindness was, under such circumstances, not admissible, and the blind man was brought up, and charged with; the assault. Arnold, in whose eyes there was not the least symptom of specu lation, declared that it was all false. He never threw a brick-bat' or anything else at anybody, or at any voice, and he therefore never bit anybody. A witness—Oh, my Lord, he sees as well as I do ; we know It. The Loan Maims—How do you know it? Witness—Why; we were all watching one day for the balloon to go up, and when it went up, Arnold, blind as he was, went to the window and , looked up, and when he turned his eyes to the spot where it *is, he laughed, and said, " Aye, aye." Arnold all this time kept his sightless balls stedfast. A man made a short plunge at his face, but the lids were immovable. It was said that be and his wife were very much given to hearing the Gospel, and attended at Cross•street chapel when Mr. Irving officiated. The inhabitants of the tieiglibourhoisd of that respectable place, Angel alley, where the defendants ,xeside, stated that. however strong the - religions feelings of the blind man and his wife might he, they were certainly a pair of the greatest blackguards that ever disgraced society. the Loco 31avoa—In what way arethey so offensive? It was stated that the woman was in the habit of hiring little girls to attend her as her own children, in selling matches. They used upon occasions to sit upon the steps of a hall-door, in the most miserable plight, and the compassion of the multitude was touched upon seeing them. It was said that if that compassion had followed them to the abode of the blind man, very dreadful scenes would have been witnessed: it was the practice of the wife of the blind man _to prostitute the poor children to " Gentlemen," when the business of the day had been concluded. The mother of a little girl, aged eleven years, stated that her child had been sold to a villain by the blind man's wife. The LORD MATOII committed the two defendants to prison, in default of bail. BOW-STREET. George Watson, alias John Pale, was yesterday brought to this office, from Derby, upon a charge of forgery, in the custody of Gardner. The office was crowded to excess by persons who were anxious to see the prisoner, who has In almost every county in Eng land committed forgeries on Bankers. Sir Richard Birnie ad journed to the private room, that those who were in attendance on Peele's case should not be incommoded by the persons in attendance on routine business. Mr. John Steward deposed, that he was clerk to Messrs. Beech ins and Sons, bankers, 'l'onbridge Wells, Kent, and that, on the 30th day of May last, the primmer called at essrs. BeecMng's bank, and produced a bill of exchange, dated " Genoa, 4th March,lB26," pur porting to be drawn by " Wm. Davidson," upon Messrs. Coutts and Co. Bankers, Strand, for thirty-five pounds, payable to " Messrs. J. Webb end Co." for which bill he requested cash. Deponent gave him thirty-four pounds, seventeen shillings and sixpence, de. ducting two shillings and sixpence for discount. In due course the bill was sent to the banking house of Messrs. Contra and Cu. where it was discovered to be a forgery. Mr. Andrew Dickie, a clerk in the firm of Messrs. Cuutts and Co. stated, that he recollected the bill In question being sent to that firm ; he examined it, as be does every bill which is presented, and pronounced it a forgery. Several ocher eases were ready to be entered into, but his Wor ship considered that there was no necessity for going into them, as the present case was so clearly proved. Sir R. Blunt took occasion to observe, that during the whole period of his Magistracy so atrocious a case of forgery bad not come before him. In his possession were found * great number of blank bills of exchange, indorsed, " John Thompson." It was stated, that he bad managed to destroy a huge pile of papers, which, no doubt, were of a similar description. He was delivered over to the care of Gardner, to he conveyed to Maidstone gaol, to await his trial at the ensuing Assizes. Sir R. Brune mentioned that information had been for a long time in the possession of the Police, of the practices which the pri soner bad carried on with such extraordinary success. He bad never, in the whole course of his Magisterial experience, known an instance in which the crime of forgery had been_ so extensively perpetrated. It was a singular fact, that the prisoner.. could be indicted in every county in England, for there was not one, in some part of which he had not uttered forged paper. Mr. Gates, Solicitor to the Association of Bankers, for protection against forgery, attended for the prosecution, and W. C.urtis, Esq. the banker (sun of Sir William), who is at the head of the Associa tion, was also present. Mr. Gates stated, that he had been engaged in tracing him to a great many places. He was a min of very imposing manners, had a great knowledge of business, and the style in whieh he had lived, and the appearance of himself and his female companion, a beautiful and elegant woman, completely disarmed suspicion in the minds even of the most wary. His general mode was to ride to the first rate inn, in whatever place he used to stop at, and these live sumptuously for a few days, pay liberally, and take especial palms to ingratiate himself with the landlord of the house, whom, with his wife, perhaps, he would tak e in his carriage for a day or two to some place of public resort, or for a short time about the adjoining country, treating them with champagne, and every other luxury that could be procured. When about to quit the town he would say he was abort of ready money; he had plenty of bills, as good as the Bank of England ; " but, then, the devil of it is you see, that no one knows me here, or your bankers would discount for me." This was a difficulty which the Lmdlord would soon remove, by offering to say that be knew him, sooner than he should be inconvenienced. In this manner he got a'forged paper cashed at Newark, and seve ral other places. At each place where he stopped he was con stently receiving letters by the rot containing bills and bank-notes, and it had been ascertained that several of those very letters had been first given by the prisoner himself to stage•coachmen to be put into distant post-offices. When be was apprehended, he had two packages filled with printed forms of bills of exchange and promis sory notes, several of which were drawn, accepted, and endorsed in various names end hand-writings. Doe of these parcels he con trived to destroy. (Mr. Gates produced the other.) There were also some slips of paper, on which were written a great many signa tures indifferent characters of hand-writing, as if some person prac tieing. At one place the prisoner obtained cash for a bill of el'9o by tine expedient. He received a letter by post, with a block seal, With which be wok in haste to a tradesman, with tears in his eyes, and said, his brother had been killed in the Burmese war, and he was compelled to go in halts to London, to settle his affairs. But a still more ingenious trick was played off by him - at Rochester. He had been mine time at chat place, mid had by some means got• acquainted with s Lady of high respectability, and good property, residing there. He ascertained where she kept cash; and one day when be was taking a drive with her, in her own carriage, he re quested she would order her coachnsan to stop for a few moments at Messrs.-., (mentioning the name of her bankers) She at once complied, and he alighted, walked into the banking house, and requested cash for a bill to a large amount. The bankers, seeing with whom be came, had not the least hesitation in com plying with his request, and gave him the money. He left Rochester very shortly after. The prisoner is a good looking man, about 33 years of age, of florid complexion, light hair, and about the middle sire. His ap . pearance was gentlemanly. He wore a jacket, made after the fashion of those worn by our metropolitan fresh-water sailors in their excursions. His female companion was in the office, but not present at the 'examination. The prisoner's conduct has been extraordinarily cool and firm since Ms apprehension; it has, in fact, been that of a , man who has sufficient firmness, under trying circumstances, to make up his mind to meet the wont that can befal. H tiTTON GARDEN. °muumuus Asum.--.Caschmoss and Road, the two pugWats, were brought from the watch.home of Saffron-kin. charged with an asuuh at the house of Mr. Davis, landlord of the Bricklayer? Arms, Saffron-hill. ' Mr. Roans said he had never heard of a more gross or outra pous,caso of assault on a man in his own house and on an officer in discharge of bh duty. He should require the mi to give as hour? notice of pod bail. M &P LBO BO VG H-STREICT. A poor woman, named Gnaw, s pauper of &. George's Parish , applied for the Magistrate's assistance. She stated that she had two children lying dead, one of whom died ten, and the other four days ago ; a eoillm had been given her by a friend for the fir t, but the parish refused to bury them, unless in the parish corns. The child bad beats *weed down dote Friday, add could not now be r emoted. The 31agistrate advised her to nuke another application to the Overseers, and if they refused, he would give ►er assistance.

Several respectable coal-merchants, residing in the vicinity at Westminster, appeared on summonses Were Messrs. Gansoste and Wines, the Sitting Magistrates, to answer the complaints Bishop and Ashley, constables, for refusing to supply a waggon and horses for the conveyance of his Majesty's troops. It appeared from the evidence of the constables that on the even ing of the 3d July they served the defendants with notices to pro vide a waggon : .lid horses, and beat Knightsbridge barracks at one o'clock next morning, for the purpose of conveying the aretsi.ac coutrentettes, &c. of the Hnrse Guards, stationed there, to Egbant and Sraines. The defendants, however, never sent their teams, mist the consequence was that the troops were delayed for several hot-s ten their route, and waggons were forced to be pressed on the roi.d. The defence set up by three of the defendants was that proper time had nut been allowed them to procure conveyances. Messrs. Sant, Thompson, and Thickbroom, were convicted in the penalty of 51. each, with costs; and Messrs. Reeve and Bent, who made no defence, were tined in the mitigated penalty of sos. each. 2'hoosas Csolverwell was again brought up for re-examination ; no further evidence was adduced, and the facts of the accused malt having stolen a dyer tea-kettle, value 25 guineas, not being satisfac torily made ont, he was ordered to be disdtarged. An interesting young woman, of the name of Mary Woodward, charged her husband, Ms Woodward, with s. knocking her about" on Saturday night. Complainant said that this quarrel was ecca. sicced by her fetching her husband home to supper from the public house. His company was so courted at the Ship, that he frequented it from morning till night, and she rarely saw him, except at his usual meals. Mr. Wartn—Well, Woodward. what have you to say to this? Woodward—Why, your Worship. I dar'nt say anything be!or! my wife, for she will only scratch my face for it the moment we get back. Bbo came after me, your Worship: would take no &ilia!, and was dragging me along, when I gently bit her. That was all. Dlr. Wroms--Though I shall expect hint in future to keep h:s hands off, yet still, Mary Woodward, I must now caution you !lot I tobe so eager to go after your husband to public houses, for it is a ' practice, on the part of women, that no mortal man likes. But, und.r all the circumstances, I shall keep the warrant open for the present, in order to see how matters are likely to go on between you. Mary Woodward—Then I can come here again, your Worship, if he don't behave well? John Woodward—Oh, to be sure, whenever I don't happen to please you UNION HALL A man named Harris, a coppersmith, in the employment of Messrs. Mandalay, the engineers, of Westminster hood, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, charged with sealing a quantity of copper and steel filings, and was fully committed for trial, A young man in the service of Mr. Shepherd, landlord of the Fountain Wine Vaults, in Blackman-street, Southwark, was charged with the following felony. The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner was employed at the bar of his house, In erring customers with liquor. The previous day, as he (Mr. Shepherd) was behind the counter, he observed two shillings and two sixpences at the bottom of a small tub drawer, which was usually placed there, for the purpose of washing out the glassy. -Ht at once suspected that the money was deposited in that situation, by roe or other of the shopmen, and accordingly refrained from making the circumstance known, until he should have an op portunity of observing by whom the shillings and sixpences were taken. In order to establish the fact against the dishonest person, the complainant, unobserved, took the money out of the tub, and placed in its stead, two shillings and two sixpences which he had previously marked. Soon afterwards, the tub was taken from its situation by the prisnher, who proceeded into the yard with it, and on his return (a constable having been sent for in the interim) he was searched, and the marked shillings and sixpences found in his pockets. The prisoner was committed. There are twenty-five furnaces now out of blast in the upper part of Monmouthshire; the distress amongst the labourers is in consequence very great. Robert Hadd.tck, of Spilsby, aged 93, attended Lord Gwynya's rent-day last week, in good health, being his seventy-eighth year of paying rent to the family. Admiral CROAN (who is appointed to cruise in the Baltic and North Seas, with the Russian fleet of three ships of the line and eight frigates) is a respectable old man, a native of Perth, which he left when a mere boy in a merchant vessel, to seek his fortune; and by merit and good luck has reached his present elevated rank.— ft will be a proud and gratifying thing to him now to revisit his nativetown while his fleet is lying inLeith Road. Winchester Theatre was crowded to excess on Wei nesday and Friday last to witness the extensive comical and musical powers of the celebrated MaTaaws. His trip to America and Youthful Days, replete with writ and humour, raised universal mirth; nor was he less g. at home" in the admirable delineation of Morbleu, and Monsieur Tonson, a character peculiarly adapted to his genius. Winchester Theatre has not known so numerous and so good tempered an audience for many years. Naw Yuma, June 15.—The new American slip Great Britain; Captain FR;NCII, cleared out yesterday for a market in Europe. She has on board, under deck, 2415.ba1es of cotton, weighing 886,600 pounds, which, it is supposed, is the largest cargo that ever left the United States. This elegant ship measures 72.5 tons, and is fitted out in a style corresponding with her ad mirable model and materials. The value of her cargo forms a striking contrast with its worth at a very recent period. It is now estimated at 89,000 dollars ; and about twelve months ago it would have brought, in this market, more that 250,000 dollar. So overwhelming is the force of habit ) th it it is re lated of a person long confined in the King's Bench prison, that whenever he obtained temporary freedom, by means of a day-rule, he uniformly spent the time with a friend in the Fleet. Oranges, which at this time of the year used to be only procurable for fevers, and that at two shillings and half-a-crown a piece, are now so plentiful as to be sell ing in the streets at two for a penny.
