Chtigmas-day, a ewe of the Lancaster breed, the property of Mr. Marshall, farmer in Parknouse, near Kirkcudbright, brought forth a fine healthful lamb, which is thriving well. Yesterday morning, the body of a new-born male in fant was discovered, by a boy of this town, lying in the river opposite the Moat, and was carried to the Council Chamber. It was full grown, and appeared to have been alive. No marks of violence were upon the body, Two females have been apprehended on suspicion, and put into confinement. Friday, the body of an old woman, the widow of a man named Barton. who many years since was snatched from leer by the hand of death, was found in the Nith here above the Caul, immediately beside the gullet door, on the Masweltown side of the river. She had long lived in a house in Red Lion -street, blisweltown,.,in a separate part of which another widow also resides; and having, in her lone:y situation•., but few friends or ac quaintances to note either her presence or absence, no alarm was felt respecting her until the morning of Wednesday, although her door had been observed to be shut and her house silent from the morning of the pre ceding day. On Wednesday, her door was broken °ten, when the bed was found newly made, the floor and the fire place cleanly swept, and everything tidy and in its proper place, save a large pig, or jar, with which she had been in the habit of •" carrying in" her water. And now it °centred to sonic of those present that they had seen her on the Tuesday morning, with the j4l in her hand, going towards the river. A search was instantly commenced, and continued without suc cess until Friday, about three in the afternoon, when her corpse was • accidentally discovered lying close to the pullet door, to which the current had no doubt borne at from the place n here she had descended to fill her jar, and where, in all likelihood, she had sturabled, and closed the winter of her life. It gives us great pleasure to be able to say, that by the latest accounts from Miramichi, it appears that the unfortunate sufferers had, by the bountiful subscriptions of the neighbouring Provii.ces, and the kind assistance of philanthropic individuals, in a great measure reco vered from the effect of this distressing calamity. O'ketez.—The public, who have derived so much entertainment horn the woks of this dramatic veteran, will hear with regret, that, in a very advanced age, and deprived of sight, he has hardly the means of decent support.

Monday afternoon, while a plumber was looking at the pipes at Sir 11. lintronn's, Curzon -street, he heard some person groaning, and or. proceeding to the place, discovered Sir 11. HA LFORD'S housekeeper in the. ago nies of death. She was immediately taken to a warm room, and every means used to recover her, but to no purpose, as she died a little before four o'clock. The deceased was in good health at breakfast time. Two °diets of the West-country 4ang of horse-steal ers, of the names of Colisson and fArogniortan, were appiebended at Appleton; near Woodstock, on Tueiday night, by the information of an accomplice, when three stolen horses and a chaise were found in their possession. One of the horses and chaise was stolen Irons Bowes rrr Osf .rdshire, last week, and the other two were stolen from a paddock belonging to the Ittv.Mr.llowles, near Farringdon, 11. rks.

It is well known that there is a small Church within the walls of the Tower of London, dethcated to St. Peter ad Vincula, but it is not perhaps tiJ Reuel ally known what is the oi - igM of this title. The following extract from the Sarum Breviary will explain it:—" A certain Roman Captain, called Quit inus,had a daughter whose name was Balbina, who had a disease in her throat. This Captain kept St. A!exander the Pope shut up in pets in. This maiden his daughter, went oft to the prison whe.e blessed Pope St. Alexander was kept bound in chains; and she kissed the chants wherewith the Saint was bound, which she did hoping to recover alifs thereby. 'l'n whom Saint Alexander said, My eatiginer, do not kiss these chains, but go and seek the shams wherewith St. Peter was bound, and kiss them, and thereby thou shalt be cured.' She immediately came to her father, and told him what she had heard from the aforesaid Pope, which, when her father bad heard he sent messengers to inquire for the p icon where the Apostle had been bound, and from thei:ce to bring with them St. Peter's chain, which they did ; and the said maid kissing them was presentlz perfectly se covered.

LAW ,REPORT. COTAT OF JUNO'S BENCH, WESTAHNSTEB, Jaw. Ht. LITTLE V. STM3. This was an action to recover for an excess of a dis tress for rent. The plaintiff was a tradesman, residing in Eagle -street, Red Lion-square, And being indebted to his landlord in one quarter's rent, amounting to 181. a distress was put ?tao his house, under which the de fendant had seized upon everything on the premise.. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiff, stated the two points, that the defendant had seised upon the tools and im plements of the plaintiff's track, and that the goods seized were not described in the auctioneer's catalogue, according to the statute. In the warrant it was stated that the seizure had been made of " a conch with cushions, &c. a chaise body, with all the premises con tained, to the amount of my rent';" but in the auctioneer's catalogue, the articles were classed in a most singular manner. For instance, one lot consisted of a dic tionary, a tool chest, a Holy Bible, and a pair of breeches," and the auctioneer, in disposing of this lot, with the gravest face in the world, had kept ejaculating " a Holy Bible and a pair of breeches, and no hole in the breeches ; Holy Bible, no hole in the breeches, Holy Bible."— Another lct was " a tool chest, sundry tools, and a stuffed bird in a case." Mr. ABRAHAM took an objection to the counts in the declaration. The premises were cf2tc,ihed as being.. in the parish of St. George the Martyr., Red Linn-square," there being no parish to which that description could technically be applied. Mr. CAMPBELL argued, that the term Red Lion square, not only meant the actual site of the squire, but it included all the adjacent streets, which might comprise the parish in question. Toe venue of the action was not a local venue, and the terms Red Lion square, might be taken as mere surplusage ; er that the plaintiff might proceed upon his plea of trover, notwithstanding any such Objection to the description of the parish. The LORD Cum , Juarrce, after some consideration, said, that he would take the 'Opinion of his brother' Judges sitting in the adjoining chamber in Banco, upon Mr. Abraham's objection to the venue. His Lordship, after an absence of about ten minutes, resumed his seat upon the Bench, and advised the defendant to consent to withdraw the case, and refer all matters in dispute to arbitration.—Verdict for plaintiff, subject to reference. SOSIPH V. WALTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the keeper of the Imperial Hotel, at Cheltenham, to recover of the defendant, a Lady residing in Gower -street, the sum of 421. being the amount of expenses incurred by her son, a minor, whilst staying at the pla;ntiff 's hotel. It appeared in evidence that defendant's son had, upon a furjuer occasion, bees at the hotel r f the plaintiff, to whom the defendant had written a promise to pay the son's bill. The plaintiff accordingly sent his brother to the defendant with the account, and she immediately dixbarged it. This witness deposed that the young Gentleman, in shewing him into the drawing-rodeo, had said that he would soon be at Cheltenham again, and would put up at his brother's house, and the doors between the drawing-room being opened, he presumed that the mother had heard him say so, and she chi not prohibit his going. The defendant's son, a short time , after, arrived at t' e Imperial lintel, in a carriage--and four, accompanied by Mrs. Beaumont, and he remaiped there six weeks, during which time he contracted 'the bill of 42/. to recover which the present actian was brought. 01 this bill, lflir was charged for hoard, at Si. per week, and the remaining sum was made* up b) charges for Champaigne, at I Is. a bottle, and Claret at 10s. with dinners and extra expenses of eatertainments, given by the young Gentleman to his f, iends. Shortly after this bill had been contracted, the defendant wrote to the plaintiff, informing him it had come to hr: knowledge that her son %%as at his house—that he was there against her consent, and that she would not be answerable for his expenses. The Cat[! JUSTICII put the case to the Jury, whether the defendant's son had gone to Cheltenham with the consent of his mother ? If be had not, the Jury ought to find a verdict for the defendant ; if they were of the contrary opinion, they ought to find for 'the: plaintiff, to the extent that was reasonable to corer the expenses of a person of the connexion and station o! d?fendant's son, during his temporary residence at Ch(ltenham.— Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 211.

RICHARD lOYLE, the first E trl of CORK, is styled by Sir RICHARD Cox, the historian, as t! e Noble Earl of Consc, Lord High Tieasurer, one of the most extraor dimity persons that any age 'pith produced with te. spect to the great and just acquisitions of estate th tt he made, and the public works uhich he began and finished, h tying elected a.sd endowed Chuiches, alms-, iIOUSC3, and Ire! school, and built btidges, castles, and towns, one of which, namely, Bandon, east him 14,0004 imanmuch that when Calatwitt.t. saw these prodigious improvements, he declared(little exp.cting to find smith in lie:and), " that if there had been an Earl of Cork in every province, it viould have been impossible for the Irish to have raised a tebelli ,, n." This distin guished person, who at an advailced period of his life stated in a letter, that his revenues, betide hOuses, demesnes, packs, a•id other royalties, yielded him 504 a day net, began the world in a very humble. manner, which he records with great simplicity as follows: " Alter the decease of my father and mother, I being the second son of a younger brother, having been a scholar in Benett's College, Cambridge, and a stud-nt in the MiddleT:mple,Lonlon, finding my me His unable to support me to study tl:e law, in the Inns o - Court, put myself into the service of Sir Richard Manwood, Knt. Lord Chief Baron of his Majesty's Court of Ex chequer, whom I served as one of his clerks; and per. ceiving that the employment would not raise a fortune, I resolved to travel into foreign kingdoms, to gain learning and knowledge and expesience abroad in the world. And it pleased the ALMIGHTY, by his D,vine Providence to take me, I may say justly, as it were by the hand, and lead me into Ireland, where I arrived, at Dublin, on the Midsummer eve, 23d of June, 1588. All my wealth then was 271.35. in money, and two tokens which my mother had given me, viz. a diamond ring which I have ever since and still du wear, and a bracelet of gold worth about 101. a taffety doublet, cut with and upon taffety; a pair of black velvet breeches, laced ; a new Milan fustian suit, laced and cut upon taffety ; two cloaks; competent Linea tud necessaries ; with my rapier and dagg , r." tATAL ACCIDENT A melancholy and fatal accident happened enPriday night to Mr. Benjamin Vowell, a very respectable inha bitant of Battersea, and a member ef the Fishmongers' Company. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on that night, two Gentlemen passed through the toll-gate at Battersea Bridge, in one-Erse chaise:, and had not pro ceeded far along the bridge when one of them returned to the toll-gate, and told Robert Jackson, the gate keeper, that a man was lying in the road on the bridge, apparently dead; the gate-keeper left the toll Agate, and proceeded to the spot, having first called out for the watchman to come to his assistance. A Gentleman of the name. of Rough also called to John Brown, the watchman in Lindsay-row, Chelsea, for Goo's sake to come, and make haste, as he thought there was a man lying in the road dead. When are watchman came up to the spot•where the man lay, with his lantern, he re cognized it to be Mr. Vowell; lie was not then vile dead ; and with the assistance of the w itchmen and the late toll-gate keeper, was removed from the bridge to Ye Adam and Eve, at Chelsea; the house was shut up, the watchman called out, and knocked at the door for upwards of ten minutes, but could not gain admittance. The unfortunate Gentleman was then carried to the White Hart, where the landlord opened the door, and admitted the body; a surgeon was sent for, and at tended, but his assistance was rendered useless, as life had become extinct during the time lost in cart ying the deceased from one hone to another. Upon examining the body, it was found that the deceased's jaw was broken, his nose injured, and his head and face dread fully crushed. When first found on the bridge, the wound appeared quite fresh, and could not have been done more than ten minutes. The toll-gate keeper stated, that a glass coach, belonging to Mr. Nodes, of Manor -street, Chelsea, had pasted through the gate about ten minutes previous to the deceased being picked up. The wounds inflicted had every appearance and mark of having been done by a coach wheel, and it has since been ascertained that a man named Richard Hornblo w, drove a coach for Nlr.Nodes on the night of the accident, from Mr. Hyde's, at Battersea, along the bridge, to Chelsea. The horses in the coach, in passing al ng the bridge, shied at something, but the coachman. did not observe any person near the coach, and it being a very di k and stormy night, and raining fast, he thought it was the storm that caused the horses to shy and get on time foot-path, and, unconscious of any acci dent having happened, drove the coach straight home. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Alitlike was yesterday brought before Sir IL Theme, charged with stealing two hoists, the property of Mt. John M'Curty. The circumstances were these:—Mr. APCurty, who is an American Gentleman of fortune, about nine months since observed an ad vertisement in the Tones Newspaper, which stated that two horses (geldings) were to be sold at the King's Head yard, Little Russell street. Being at that time in want of a pair of horses, he applied at the place of reference , and was introduced to the prisoner 'Maltby. The horses were then hewn bins and after sundry encomiums, a bargain was struck for one hundred and fifty pounds. They were taken home, and employed in the service of the prosecutor. After a short time had elapsed, one of the horses became ill, and was unfit for use. Mr. M'Curty then went to•setk the seller, and after a long search discovered him. He complained of the conduct the prisoner had adopted towards him, in selling him a useless horse. The prisoner expressed himself extremely sorry that the horse was not as good as he supposed, but If lie would give him twenty-five pounds more,he would take the sick borse,aad return him one which ' should compensate for the disappointment. The prosecutor:complied, and another horse was sent. In about three days after the second horse was In the carriage of the prosecutor, when he suddenly laid down, and nothing could make him rise; the prosecutor again sought I the prisoner, and at length found hies ; he remonstrated sharply, I and told bins that *rime compensation must be made; however, not to appear mercenary, be offered to cite 1001. for the horses in re turn, and the expenses of keeping the horses at ltd. a month. This offer was accepted, and the money was to be paid on the ensuing Wednesday. As Mr. Al' eurty had not a stable exactly convenient for the Inn ses, it was agreed they should remain at the stables of the prisoner. It was also agreed, that when the money should be paid, the prost cutor should give a hill of sale of the hones, but he should have nu power over the horses until the money Was so paid. On the Wednesday, the time appointed for payment, the prosecutor called at the stables; he was informed that Alaltby was not there, and they did not know where he was. From that time till the pri soner was appreLen led, be never saw dotter hint or the horses.— This was the chatge.-414 WAS remanded. L A M BETH-STREET. A KIDIIMPILD CHILD.-11111111 named French, a Woman suppmad to be his wife, and another woman named Stephens, were charged with baying kidnapped a child from some family. It seems that the parties, who formerly resided in Westminster, took lodgings in George-street, Whitechapel, and from the manner in which they behaved to the child in question, who is two years and a half old, led the landlady to contider that it was not their child, but that it bad been stolen ; she therefore caused thetu to be apprehended. The prisoners were examined separately ; Mary French was the first. and she declared that th, child was her illegitimate offspring, and was born in Liverpool, while her husband was apart from her. French said that the child was his niece, and be took care of it after the father had run away from his wife, who was his sister-in• law.—Catherine Stephens declared that she found the child at a Chapel door, in Dublin, and had reared it as her own. The Magistrate directed the child to be taken care of, and re manded the prisoners. MARY-LA-BUNNY. Israstous Sanucriox.—A man, named Stephen Bagg, was brought to the Office, upon an older of affiliation, at the instance of the PAruchial Officers of Acton parish. Mr. Francis, <we of the Churchwardens, informed the Magi.. trate this was a most aggravated case. The defendant was the bailiff and gardener of a Lady of fortune, and had contrived to seduce the unfortunate victim who now appeared spina Lim before she attained her fourteenth year. • The defendant, upon entering the Office, said he had compro mised the affair, having entered into a bond of indemnity with the parish. The complainant, a mild looking girl, in answer to the questions of the Magistrate, said she was fifteen years of age, and had been delivered of a child two months since, of which the defendant was the father. Mr. Raerunsos asked him his age? Ile replied, thirty-two! Mr. Gammas—Mere likely fifty, (be appeared of that age); really it is melancholy to see such a case as this. Mr. Francis said dist the defendant had locked the girl in an outhouse, and had there effected his purpose. He believed she was of weak intellect ; her mother was in the last stage of illness, and, was not aware of the circumstance. Mr.G airnln Perhaps, it is as well she should not: this is so in famous a case, that I cannot allow the fellow to go away without his giving good security for fulfilling his indemnity to the parish. lie was then locked up, but sent for the money, 25/. which is the sum demanded by the parochial authority. His victim appears in a very delicate state of health. She had concealed her pregnancy until within a few days of her accouchement, when it was acci dentally discovered by her aunt. Yesterday, an elegantly dressed young Lady applied to Mr.Gatt firm for assistance, under the following circumstances :—She said, that she bad some short thus since married a young Gentleaaan,and had lived with him very happily in the neighbourhood of Kilburn. On Wednesday morning he left home for town, where he had some business to transact, promising to return to dinner at four o'clock.— ' In the course of the day she had left home to pay a visit or two in the neighbourhood ; but, on her return, was surprised to find the doors closed against her; and, upon making an efort to get into her own apartment, she was informed they were no longer her's, and ahe most not skew her face there again. She had Iso ascertained that her drawers had been ransacked, and her dresses deprived of some valuable lace. She had in vat's asserted her right to - admission into the house, but was treated with the utmost contumely, and found at length, by her husband's not returniN, soot oppeuradits rye .priry, to this tteallsltt, and that 1,4 was the instigathr. Mr. Geirrern asked whet paid the rent of the apartments ?—Tnt applicant replied, her husbands aunt had taken them, and paid the rent, allowing theist to live in the rooms, and her principal right of excluaion was, that being the rentor, the place was her own, and no person but those she pleased had any right to live in them. The Magietrati said it whs a singilar ease, but one entirely with out his jurisdiction. The young Lady departed much disappointed UNION -HALL A lad oily fourteen years of age, named Themes 31errit *re charged with having refused to maintain an illegitimate child. of which he was stated to be the father. The child having, in du: form, been sworn by the mother, the defendant wall asked the tea. son of his refusal to support the child ? when he answered; that he was not the father of it, and that he had never criminally known the girl in his life. The defendant's father said, he Was cenvince , l the girl had perjured herself. She had been in his service, but l: did not consider CI It his son had behaved in the manner that the girl had represented. Ile 1 , ..d a aumerous trendy, rums of were always present when his SD!) and the girl came, in centred, :40 be felt confident that no opportunity had ever presented itself, h• which they could have furmed such close intimacy with on another. Added to all this, however, he was ready to prove, that waen the Surgeon attended her during her accouchemeur, she ad mined that his son was not the father of the child, but that a pion,: man named Joseph, had the most right to that appellation. Tar girt, when examined, admitted having been acquainted with a young man, named Joseph, a sawyer by trade ; but, although Joseph had had interviews with her, for a year and a half, still no oue but Thomas Merritt was the father of the issue in question. Mr. M. replied, that she had rent tin-d out during the while of one night, while she was in his service. this the girl said, that she had supped at a friend's house where the sawyer was one of the party, and finding it was too lite to return home, she slept with her female friends. The Suwon who attended the girl during her confinement, was called, and he stated that he was present, and heard the girl admit to her mother, during the pains of labour, that Joseph the sawyer was the father of her child. The girl's mother, however, contra. dieted this assertion. The Magistrate observed, that the girl had, in all probability, spoken the real .truth at the time she considers d herself in danger, and that the sawyer, whoever he was, had more right to the child than the lad upon whom it was now fathered. The girl, however, persisted in declaring that the def e ndant w as the person whom she could positively swear to, and added, that not withstanding what the young man's father had sail about having DO opportunitlea, it was all nonsense, for they had pu . nty,,and one night in particular, when he came home late, instead of proceeding to his own bed, he came to her's, andi4mained there until day. brtak.-The Palish Officers stated, that the girl had unifoently declared to them that Thomas Merritt was the father of her child. Under these circumstances, as the girl positively swore to the de fendant being the father of her child, the Magistrates granted the order of aSliation, mud decided that he should pay 2s. 6d. per week, fur the child's maintenance, besides the ex:tenses attending th_ girl's confinement. The defendant anti his father appeared terribly chagrined at the decision, both vowing that Joseph, the sawyer, was the person who should have been saddled with the burden. In the course of yesterday, the driver of a hackney chariot, N.•. 935. attended before Mr. St . to answer the suatatints of a Gentleman, named Smith, for taking 'more than his fare. It appeared that on Saturday last, about four o'clock,he engaged the defendant's coach to convey him to Brixton, and having gone thither, the man demanded es. lie thereupon remonstrated with the coachman, who offered to take 6.. 6J. which 11r. Smith paid, saying, that he certainly would summon the driver for imposition. On the coachman's being called, he said that he was entitled to back fare, the distance being above four miles. Mr. liar naby, second clerk, referred to the hacknercosch fares boOk, front which it appeared that the distance was not mote thaa three miles, and that the fare was only es. 641. The driver was accordingly ordered to repay the Gentleman two shillings, and also to pay all expenses. QUEEN-SQUARE CUTTING AND Matassee.-1 private watchman, of the name of Manning, was charged with dreadfully wounding one Ruben Bald. win, on the evening of the !frith of December last. Daniel Manning was placed at the bar upon a warrant which had since been obtained by Baldwin's brother-in-law. It appeared that Baldwin, and Manning and his wife, were in company, on the night stated, at a public-house. Offence was there taken at the sing ing of some song by Manning's wife, when be immediately went out, for the purpose of fetching a stick to assist his countrymen, who were !HA, and expected to be overpowered; and Manning now struck at Baldwin. The latter was cut upon his forehead with a knotty shillelab, four or fere inches lung, from the very front to the skull. Baldwin was taken to St. George's Hospital, where he remains in great danger. Manning was committed to Tuthill-fields Prison. Tuaxias ♦No TURNO4 —John Indians, from Bowyer-lane, in Camberwell, but who recently has figured as a stealer of turkey, and a tureen, in the vicinity of lielgrave-place, was finally examined by the sitting Magistrates at this Office. The tureen now produced had been traced from Belgrave-place into t►e Great Ahnonryi but the evidence of Mary Ann Meyers, who formerly knew the prisoner well, was thought insuMcient to establish the felonious part of the present charge. After some consultation between Mr. 'lllaatuoin and Mr. Wane. the prisoner was dismissed. TOWN-HALL. Mr. &J. Manners was summoned by It. Everett, jun. t►e Toll taker at the Circus, fur horsewhipping him. It appeared that the defendant, In consequence of ancient bickering. with the Toll-col lectors of the Trost, had met with matters displeasing to him, which be endeavoured to cut away by the application of a horse-whip, at the above Gate, on the 3d inst. for which he was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 10a and costs.
