FORTIFICATIONS .ON THE RHINE. --ihm, The activity of the Prussiant, in availing themselves o f pea ce, by placing their towns in the most complete state o f defence, has been most unremitting, particularly a t this m oment. The important fortress of Ehreinbries ten, at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle; blown up by the French, will be in' a most formidable state. The f o rtifications- on a prodigious scale. The Duke o f Wellinon, who ea mined these a few weeks ago, has h a d ut honour of having his name attached to one of them- The town of Coblentz is fortifying. Three vast fortresses have also been built at Z mile distant from the town, in opposite directions, to command the roads from France and Mayence. Similar operations are also going on nit!) vigour at Cologne ; new fortiti cations are building round it, and fortresses in the vici nity. In three years all these will be completely finished. The King of the Netherlands is also not inactive. He has built a fortress en one of the heights above the town of Liege, which will contain, in barracks now building, s everal thousand men. A second has been founded on an elevation commanding the toad to the French fron tiers; an d ground marked out fur a third on one of the bins overhanging the town. His second son, Prince Frederick, often pays a visit to this place, and appears to b e remarkably popular with all ranks. WINDSOR, OCTOBER 19. This morning his MAJESTY, with his Suite, attended Divine Service in the Private Chapel. Saturday the KING, attended by the usual persons of his Suite, took an airing in his phzton, in the beau tiful rides in Windsor Great Park. Her Royal Highness the Princes's AuousTA, accom panied by Lady MARY TAYLOR, attended Divine Ser vice in the New Parish Church, where an excellent Ser mon was preached by the Hey. Mr. THOMPSON, from the 23d chapter of Numbers, and the first part of the tenth verse. " Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." _ _ _ Friday morning her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLoucesren paid a visit to the Princess AUGUSTA, at Frogmore; her Royal Highness returned in the after noon to Bagshot Park to dinner. Mr.BLOOMFIELD, son of Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, passed through Brussels with Dispatches for London, on Friday. The Princess AUGUSTA passed through Cologne, use, and Brussels, on her return borne to London. The Queen of WURTEMBERG is arrived at Stutgard, from a visit to her sister the Princess of Hcssa Homaunc. • The Duke of CLARENCE left his residence at Bushy, on Saturday morning, at twelve o'clock, far Portsmouth. Saturday, the Duke of SANE %Yuman arrived in town from Bushy. Ills Serene Highness attended Divine Service at she Royal German Chapel yesterday. In consequence of the house of the Duke of CAM /meal at Hanover undergoing a thorough repair, his Royal High resides with his father.in-law at Rumpenheim, near Frankfort, but he will return to Hanover by the end of this mouth, when the repairs are to be finished. His Masesrv, we understand, has given directions that all the paintings in the several Palaces, respecting Nay! ac dons, &c. be forthwith collected, and presented to the Royal Hos pital at Greenwich, for the purpose of forming in•that asylum a gallery, to be entirely devoted to the record of those proud achieve ment,. Preparation for the reception of the Royal gilt is to be made without delay. The Duke of YORK arrived on Saturday on a visit to the Duke of Gamow, at his seat, Euston Hall, Thetford, from the Duke of Rtrri.eisu's, Cheveley Park, Cambridgeshire. The Duke and Duchess of LIIINSTER have arrived at heir seat in Ireland, from the Earl of Ilaaatearotes, Elvaston, Derbyshire. The celebrated STIEBELT, author of a great number of musical compositions, among which is the fine Opera of Romeo and Juliet, died lately at St. Petersburgh ; he had resided for 15 years in that city, and acquired a large fortune. We regret to leant' that the wife of General Ritmo, as also a sister and brother of the General, are now residing in humble lodgings in the vicinity of the City Road, in circumstances far from comfortable. What are the Spanish Committee doing with their money, when such near connections of the unfortunate Hero of the Constitutional cause are thus neglected? And at such a moment as the present, when the mental an guish they must feel, in consequence of the uncertain fate of their relative, stands so much in need of alle viation? The increase in the Revenue of the Customs, at Li verpool, for the Quarter ending the 10th of October last, over the corresponding Quarter, in 18'22, amounts to the astonishing sum of 96,4001. The Carlisle Patriot, received this morning, devotes two columns to a report of some proceedings at the Town Hall, in that city, as well as at the Penrith Ses sions, between one of the Proprietors of the Times news paper, and Mr. DOWLING, of the Morning Chronicle. It appears that the Editor of the Glasgow Chronicle had promised to send to the I Imes Office a report of the Whig Dinner at Glasgow, which did not come to hand, and suspicion fell on Mr. DOWLING, who.had been to Glasgow, that he had inttrcepted the parcel. A war tant was taken out against Mr. DOWLING, who was ar rested while attending the Birmingham Festival, and conveyed to Carlisle. • A long examination took place at the Public Office, when the Magistrates sent the bu slness to the Sessions at Penrith. There Mr. pious, on the part of the Times, presented a Bill, charging Mr. DOWLING with intercepting the parcel at the Carlisle coach office; and Mr. DOWLING presented a Bill, charg ing certain parties with a conspiracy. The Grand Jury, however, no doubt thinking it Strange that such disputes should be, 'Tsviit Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dec, threw ot*both Bills; and here the matter rests at present.

KINGSTON SESSIONS. The several cases of convittion under this Act byl NIA Unica SWANEY, Esq. were appealed against before' a Bench of Magistrates. The greatest interest was ex-{ cited. Neither Mr. SWASEY himself nor any of the wit-1 nesses whom he was called upon by law to bind over to appear against the parties convicted was to be seen in the Court or its vicinity.—The first case called was TM! KING V. DOOR. This was an appeal against the conviction of Maurice Swabey, Esq. one of the Magistrates of Union Hall Of fice. The appellant is a respectable man, a resident of Walworth, who, on the night of the 10th of August, upon returning from the City, and walking along the Borough-road, met one Mrs. Merrit, with whom and with whose husband he was intimately acquainted. He prevailed upon her to go-into a public-house in the Bo rough road and drink something; after Ythich theywalked on together, the appellant being a little affected with the I liquor he had taken in the course of the evening.— Having some occasion to be private for a short time, he desired his companion to walk on a little, and she had I separated from him a few yards, when a watchman ap proached, seized them, swore they had indecently ex posed themselves, and dragged them off to the watch house. Next morning they were brought before Mau rice Swabey, Esq. who gave implicit credence to the watchman, and committed the appellant and Mrs. Mer.- :it to the House of Correction as rogues and vagabonds, there to work _with all descriptions of malefactors at the mill. The appellant, however, immediately entered into recognizances to appeal against the conviction, and accordingly appeared in Court with his Solicitor, Mr. Lee, of Union -street, and supported in his appeal by Mr. Thessiger, the barrister. Mr. LEE proved that he had served notice of the ap peal upon Maurice Swabey, Esq. The Baxcu having waited for some time, that the witnesses for the conviction might make their appearance, asked whether any one appeared to suppoi t theconviction? Mr. THISSIGIR.—No : there is no penalty to be shared..—There is nothing to be got by coming here." Th e &so h What! are not the witnesses here?"—No answer. Mr. Los.—l fear the Bench will have to decide without the presence of the watchmen. The BINCH (without an observation on the merits of the case.).— " The conviction is quashed." THE KING V. MARY MERRITT. This appeal rose out of the foregoing case. Mr. Lee proved the service of the notice on Maurice Swabey, Esq. The liaucn.—ls any one present to support this conviction ? Mr. Tuussogu.—No. It must follow die other. The Ibmcs.—Does not the Act require that the persons whose evidence convicts before a Magistrate should be bound over to give evidence in cases of appeal? Mr. LAWSON (Clerk of the Peace).—The Act Is imperative upon the Magistapte who convicts to bind over those on whose evidence heoconvicts. to appear at the Sessions, when the order is appealed against. The Beiscu." The conviction is quashed." Tii6 WING V. HART. This is the celebrated Waterloo-road case, upon which Maurice Swabey, Esq. presided, and which closely re sembled the above-described: Mr. Lea proved the service of the notice. The Bench paused for some time, in evident expectation that all the cases would not be yielded up Without a struggle, if not upon the spirit, at least upon the letter, of the Act. Mr. Lawson looked round the Court nod said, " Does any ap:' pear In this ease ?"—No answer. • The Basecet.--" The toweled°. is quashed:" Till KIM I. GIBSON. This was an appeal against a conviction by Maurice Swobey, Esq. before whom the appellant was charged with being a rogue and vagabond. Mr. Lawsox.—Who appears to support this conviction ?—No. body answered. Mr. Bora (the Assistant Clerk of the Peace).—ls no person bound over to prOsecute? Mr. Tuzssuaza.—No doubt the Magistrate, being by the terms of the Act, responsible, has bound over the proper witnesses. Two officers, named Clarke and Blackman, said they were ordered by the Magistrates of Union Hall to attend on this case. The Bzucu again appeared in amazement, and at a loss in what manner to act, andasked—"ls there no Counsel?" The 015cen.—We were only ordered to attend : we know nothing further. Mr. Taxsusza.—Those persons do not come before the Court in such a form u to be capable of giving evidence. No doubt the Ma gistrate that commits is bound by the Act to prbsecute the prisoner. The BENCEI." We will proceed with the case." Mr. LEE then proved the service of the notice upon Maurice Swabey, Esq. and said the conviction was not maintainable any more than any of the rest. In answer to questions from Mr. Tiftsstaxa, Clarke said he was bound over at the time of the conviction, and Blackman said he was bound over about a fort- I night after the conviction. Blackman's evidence, stated that he was conductor of the Bow-street patrol ; that on the 19th of July he attended at the laying of the first stone of the Infirmary in Waterloo-road ; and while he was standing near the Duke of York, he saw Gibson amongst a crowd of peo ple, and knowing him to be a reputed thief apprehended ' and searched him. In Gibson's pocket he found a pair of scissors in a sheath, which scissors he suspected were , intended to be used for the purpose of cutting pockets. Cross-examined by Mr. Titissiota.—Had not the scissors now to prodace, for they were given up at the time of the examination, by the direction of Maurice Swabey, Esq. Did not know that Gibson was a licensed hawker, but believed that he had been in the duffing business. Gibson did not say, at the time of his apprehen sion, as witness recollected, that he was an assistant to his mother in disposing of linen about the country, and that he used the scissors on such occasions. By the BENCH.—Witness found nothing else upon the prisoner of a suspicious nature. Gibson was amongst the crowd, and nobody was with him, and he was there like any other person. Did nut see him attempt any thing, but took him into custody, knowing that he kept company with reputed thieves. Clarke, the officer, said he had been examined at Union-Hall by Mr. Swabey at the time of the convic tion,•and he then stated that he knew Gibson from hav ing seen him in bad company, but that he had never seen him in custody. He knew that Gibson bad been hawking about goods with his mother. This was the whole of the evidence on which the ap pellant was convicted before Maurice Swabey, Esq. Mr. Tnassicza lose and addressed the Bench at some length, and concluded by expressing a hope that the t3ench would treat this case with the same ceremony they had used towards the other convictions by the same Magistrate. The Bastat.—". The conviction is quashed: Several circumstances have occurred to indicate a severe winter. Snipes and wild-fowl of various descriptions have already made their appearance in abundance. A child of Mr. DENTON, in Chalton-street, Somers- Town, died on Friday evening, In consequence of drinking balling water from a tea-kettle, while be anotiorr was putting ►way the tea equipage.

Vesey and his son, plasterers,. were first dog out, the latter slightly wounded on the cheek, and the former much bruised. They were taken to a surgeon, and both are doing well. Three others were shortly afterwards found, one of them much ißittred, but on a vein being opened, he was suf ficiently recovered to walk home. The sixth was quite dead. He was also carried to the surgeon's, who tried every means to restore animation, bat in vain.
