A seaman, of the name of Gilson, belonging to one of his Majesty's ships, was brought up on an accusation of having compelled a boy to mount the shrouds during very inclement weather, when his hands were benumbed by the cold, and/or having followed him when he was not executing -his commands with alacrity to cause him to be more alert, which so alarmed the boy that he feH from the rigging into the sea, and was drowned._ No person appearing on the part oftheprosecution, the prisoner was discharged by the customary proclamation.- - The Marquis cf &mei pleaded to an indictment against him, and traversed the same to the next Ses sions. There being no other business before the Cottrt, the same was adjourned. Yesterday four persons were examined, at Marlbo rongh-street, on chargesof uttering forged notes, three of whom were committed. An alien, who has resided at Dover for some time, by the name of Dr. S--, was taken into custody on Wednesday, being found in the citadel wins a forged pass, under pretence of visiting the wife of a soldier who was ill. Three centioeis who, thus de ceived, had suffered him to pass, were put into con finement. The Doctor has since been removed from the guard-house to the town gaol. The person, calling himself Baron Kitt-ruff, who was implicated with Davenport Seilky,in the atrocious frauds lately practised upon the Marquis of HEADFORT, and who was some time since (most wisely) sent out of the country under the Alien Act, has some how or other contrived to have his name foisted into different accounts from Heligoland.
