Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Sheriff's of Lon- Bon and Middlesex, attended by the City Remem brance:, arrived at Carlton House. Soon after, thvy were introduced into the presence of the PRINCE RE en; to know when his Royal Highness would re ceive the Address of the City, lately voted in theiro Common Hall, when the Panics was pleased to ap point the 96 instant. In the Parish Register Bill, now before the House of Commons, (which by the original projector of the plan was so framed as to embrace equally and indis criminately the interests of all descriptions of his Ma jesty's subjects, without regard to their religious creed,) an invidious distinction is set up, between Members of the Church and Dissenters ; the latter not being permitted to rank in the same columns of parochial registration with the former. We know that on this point the Episcopal Bench were divided in opinion ; and, were we not restrained from motives of delicacy, we could be more particular on the subject. The destination of the French fleet, which sailed from L'Orient, has not been ascertained ; no intelli- Ileum being yet received from Admiral DURHAM. By the accident which befel the NAMUR'S boat crew on Thursday afternoon, at Sheerness, only nine were drowned, and not 45, as erroneously stated in some contemporary journals. A few days since, Captain Carteret, of his Ma jesty's ship Naiad, was going into his boat, (a gig) nom Portsmouth to Lymington, when it upset o ff Cowes, and three me n were unfortunately drowned. Captain C. was picked up greatly exhausted, and faben to Cowes.

Since the commencement of the Paschal Moots, on the 'lath of this month, there have been such storms of snow, hail, and strong frosty easterly winds, as have not been experienced since the Spring of 1799. The snow is at present, in many places where the sun's heat does not reach, several Stet thick, and the ice strong. In the night of the 20th instant, the long gale increased to a hurricane, on the East coast, accompanied with a high sea, and thick snow showers. We have heard of the following ship wrecks on this coast, • among others not yet fully as certained : Lively, of North Shields, Hallowell,' lost near Howick Boat-house, crew saved, except a boy ten years of age, who perished with cold and wet.— John and Mary, of South Shields, Grewcock, near Workworth,. crew saved.—Themis, of Tynemouth, Cunningham, near Creswell, crew saved.—Cumbers land, of North Shields, Laing, at Newbiggin Point, crew lost.—Margaret and Ann, of Blyth, near the Sow and Pigs Rocks, crew saved.—Endeavour, of South Shields, Forsyth, near Meggy's Bourn, crew saved.— Fame sloop, of Hartley, Colley well Sands, crew saved.

YORK - Mary ScarberesszA, being placed at the bar and ar raigned, was asked whether she would be tried then or traverse, she elected tb be tried then. The pri soner h4ving no Counsel, the Court directed that no Juryman who had sat upon the trial of Mr. Jennings (which appeared in this paper of the 17th ult.) should be upon the present trial. Mr. RAINE stated the case on the part of the pro secution. He observed, that the present was one of the most aggravated cases that ever came into a Court of Justice. The crime committed by the prisoner aimed not merely at the property, the good name, and the liberty, but at the very life of the prosecu- tor, to whom she imputed a forcible violation of her person; who, if her evidence had been credited, must have died by the hands of the executioner. The Counsel here went through the evidence, which we shall state as briefly as possible from the evidence of the respective witnesses. Mr. Stanley stated, that he remembered admini stering the oath to Mary Scarborough, on the trial of .Mr. William Jennings for a rape. The indictment found against Mr. Jennings, for a rape, and the finding of the Jury, was then read. Mr. John Talbot stated to the Court the evidence ginn by Mary Scarborough, on the trial of Mr. Wi lliam Jennings, for a rape, on Wednesday, the 11th ult. which was in substance, that Mr: Jennings did, between the hours of one and three in the afternoon of Wednesday, the 6th of November, by force and violence, drag her into a field about a mile and a half from Fridaythorpe, on the Pocklington road, and there violated her person, she making all the re sistance in her power. To prove the falsehood of this allegation, the fol lowing witnesses were called : Mr. Jennings stated, that he had a farm at Friday. thorpe, which he frequently visited, and occasionally remained all night, which was the case on Tuesday, the 6th of November. He was all the morning of the 6th employed either about his own farm, or his business as overseer. He dined at twelve o'clock, and about one went into the kitchen to his foreman, who was getting his dinner ; and having more in stroctions than ordinary to communicate to him, he staid in the kitchen until ab out two o ' c l oc k, when he returned into his own room, intending, after he had rested a little while, 16 set off to Hayton, but his nap was longer than usual, and it was after three o'clock before he mounted his horse ; his man went with him through the village. Witness called upon Mr. William Harrison, and talked a few minutes with him ; also with two men who were repairing the road. It was four o'clock or after when he got to the Peven-gate, (the scene of action laid by Mary Scarborough). Witness said be never saw Mary Scarborough upon the road, never had any connec don with her in his life, and was never so near her as to touch her. Witness got home to Hayton about six o'clock. • William Smallpage, foreman to Mr. Jennings, went into a detail of particulars as to the employment of Mr. Jennings, on Wednesday the 6th of Novem ber, from which it was evident Mr. Jennings could not have been absent to go to Peven-gate any period after twelve o'clock on that day, until the time he set off on his return home, which was after three o'clock. . Martha Robinson also corroborated the statement of the last witness, as to Mr. Jennings being in the house from twelve until three o'clock in the afternoon of that day. . Mr. William Harrison, who is also a farm?r at tridaythorpe, stated the mariner in which Mr. Jen nings had been employed until twelve o'clock, and that he called upon him as he was returning to Hay- ) too, a little after three o'clock, James Walton, one of the persons alluded to by' the last Witness, said he was repairing the road on Wednesday, went to his dinner about ten minutes past twelve o'clock, and whilst he was scraping his shoes, Mary Scaih3rough passed Lim—she was going the Pocklington road. Mr. Jennings came up to him, and ',topped to talk with him some time, and said he I was afraid he should be too late, which induced the IltWirt, KINGSTON, MARCH SI. witness , to look a t hi s watch, and it was then half. .. . past three o'clock. estetday afternoon the LORD CHIEF DARON an d Several other witnesses were examined en the put M Y Justice of arrived in town for the purpose of of the proseewion, who spoke to expressions used by the prisoner, indicative •.f much rancour towards bolding the Assizes.

I James Black, a soldier in the Nest& Down Mi. applied to his mistress for the money, pretending that it had been called for. She gave him the £2O note, litia, said, he remembers Friday, the 29th.of October, j the fair day at Down ; in the evening, just after which he took into the town, (Epsom) where he got I dark, he and M'Alinden were going to their lode. it changed, having received fifteen one- pound Bank o f England notes and five pounds in silver.

M'Aliaden replied, it was an improper expression t• use before a soldier. Upon this one uf the party steps out from the crowd, with a seek in his hand, and made a slap at M'Alinden. Witness got between them, and warded off the blow. He then endeavoured to draw M'AlUden back into the house, but found the door was shut; he and M4Alinclen then set their backs to the door, and drew their bayonets to defend themselves, the crowd press ing on them with sticks. Witness and M 4 Alinolen then made their retreat into the meet, when he ob served another mob of about 40 people, who threw a shower of stones at them. One of the stones struck M 4 Alinden on the head, and he fell ; when be was . making an attempt to rise, another stone struck him on the side of the head, and be again fell. About this time the prisoner Doman rushed out of the crowd and caught hold of witness's bayonet, and while he was struggling with Doman, Smith, the other prisoner, came up and struck him in the face.— Witness conveyed his wife into her sister's house, and then came back in search of M 4 Alinden ; the crowd was gone, and he met some people carrying )44Alin den to a car; they took him into a house, and wit ness went for a doctor. A number of witnesses were examined in defence of the prisoners, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner, J. Smith, accompanied by his two bro thers, and some others, passed Widow Williamson's house on their way home. Smith had passed through the crowd, when- he was called back by one of his companions, to the relief of his• brother Henry, who had been stopped by the soldiers, and struck by some person. Smith appeared angry with his brother, for stopping in the crowd. Smith and his brother then went home. All the witr.esses denied any knowledge of the meaning cif the words hue barrow. The priso ners were acquitted of the murder, bat found guilty of the assault. On the morning of Tuesday se'nnight, the shop of Messrs. Malones, grocers, of Stephen-street, Dublin, was broke open and robbed to a considerable amount. Oa Friday last the following melancholy accident happened at Harlow, Essex. As some children who had been roasting potatoes at a kiln, were stooping to gather them up, the clothes of one of them, a girl of eight years old, caught fire, and notwithstanding she had almost immediate assistance, she was so dreadfully burnt that she expired in a few hours. As the Reading coach was coming to town on Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, the coachman quitted the horses to deliver a parcel in St. Martin's. lane ; when they set off at a quick rate without any driver. They passed along Chandokstreet and down Bedford-street into the Strand, to the end of Salis bury•street, where the coach overturned. The pas sengers, consisting of three inside and two out, escaped without much hurt. Yesterday afternoon a postillion belonging to Lord Whitworth, met with a serious accident near Pim lico turnpike -gate. He was riding one of his Lord ship's horses. and l ea di ng another ; in approaching the gate, he was met by a man in a one-horse cart, who ran his horse fu r i ous l y aga i nst the horse the young man was riding. The shafts of the cart corn. ing with violence against the animal, caused him to rear up and fall backwards upon his rider; the young man was taken up in a state of insensibility, and ap parently ,much hurt. He was conveyed to his Lord ship's house in Grosvenor-place.. At Greenwich Fair, on Monday, two young we. men of- decent appearance, had their legs broken; one of them was immediately recognized by her friends, but the other remains to be claimed at the Park-keeper's house, as her friends, from her owl*, account, were ignorant of her trip to the Holiday Hill.
