Draper was •indicted for embezzling the sumof IL 14s.the monies of his employers,George Smith and John Freeman. It was proved by the prosecutor, George Smith, a soap-manufacturer, residing in Bermondsey, that the 'prisoner was employed by biro as a general collect ing clerk, and was in the constant habit of account. ing for the monies he received, either -the same even. ing or the next Morning. On Thursday last, the pri soner received from a person of the name of titorge Gardner £1 14s. being a balance due to the prose cutor for soap. For this sum the pi isoner did not account, and the next day (Fu iday) was apprehended. The constable who searched him found in his R ocket money to the amount of El 17s. At the watch house,. the prisoner said there were three or four sums for which he had not accounted, and put down on a piece at paper the names of the parties from whom he had received them. . The CH*IRMAN put it to the Jury whether there was sufficient evidence in this case to convict the pri soner? The prosecutor bad admitted that the pri soner sometimes accounted for . the monies received the nut morning, and on the morning after the money was received the prisoner had been appre. trended on this charge. It would be, perhaps, too much to convict the prisoner, and subject him to transportation for fourteen years upon such slight evidence.—The Jury immediately pronounced a ver dict of— Not Guilty. The prisoner Was again indicted on a similar charge of embezzling from the same parties a soyereign and a promissory note for £5. It was proved, that on the 19th of August last the prisoner had received the money from hlr. Edward Keneton, and had never accounted for it. The pro secutor had, however, neglected to produce his ledger, to prove that no entry of payment had been made. The prisoner called some witnesses, who gave him a good character, and the Jury again acquitted him. Samuel Rhodes was tried for attempting to commit a robbery, on Sunday evening, in the Sun and Dove public-house, Coldharbour-lane, Lambetb,was found guilty of the felony, and sentenced to be transported tor seven years. 7. Allen and C. Cottrell were indicted for stealing six files j the property of Lees, Cotton, and Hallam, iron-founders in Lambeth. Stevenson, a gunsmith, stated that he met the 'prisoners offering the files in question for sale at a shop in llosemary•lane, and purchased them for 3s. Mr. Hallam, and the person who made the filec, proved that they were the property of the proucutors. Allen was in the employment of the prosecutors at the time the files were stolen. Cottrell had itcentry left their employment. The prisoners were both found Guilty. —Allep was . sentenced to twelve, and Cottrell to six months im prisonment in the House of Correction at Brixton. At Caernarvon Assizes, Lewis Owen was convicted of a desperate attack upon Mr. STURDY, Supervisor of Excise, near Capel-Cerig, at whom he fired two pistols, by one of which he was shot in the arm, and the ball from the second pistol passed through his hat and coat. The prisoner then mounted Mr. Sturdy's horse, with which, and a plir of saddle bags, he rode off. The'prisoner wept while the Judge was passing sentence of death, and was not enabled to speak for some time after ; but at length,' placing his hand upon his breast, he said, " I thank you, my Lord; I hope when we next meet it will be in a happier place. " EXECUTION.-- Saturday was executed, on the Lodge of Gloucester County Jail, S. Barrilt, aged 31, coo -1 victed at our last Assizes of stealing three horses, the property of Richard Hooper, of St. George's. Since his condemnation it is satisfactory to be enabled to state that his behaviour was very proper, and be coming his awful situation. He received every at tention from the Rev. Chaplain, and, by the penitence he evinced, strewed that he had made a due use of those consolations which religion held out to him.— On Saturday, after receiving the Holy Sacrament, he was conducted to the scaffold about twelve o'clock, and having briefly exhorted the people to take warn ing by his disgraceful fate, was launched into eter nity, in the presence of an immense concourse of Spectators. %Ve would fain hope that his warning may take effect upon his guilty companions, but that he afforded in his own person a melancholy proof of the insufficiency of these dreadful examples of the law to deter the hardened offender from the repeated commission of crimes denounced as capital by our existing code. The subject of this notice was from the neighbourhood of St. George's, where, we fear, there are many more of equal depravity. About seven years ago be was sentenced to be transported for stealing two donkeys from Bradbury, Wilts, and having served five years and three months on board the hulks, the remainder of his term was remitted, and be was discharged in January, IW2O. He imme diately returned to his old companion% and was in close connexion with a most notorious set of horse stealers and housebteakers, of whose proceedings he has given an accurate account. Since the period of his discharge it appears that he has been actually a party in stealing no less than thirty-five horses from various parts of the country, which were dispined of at Smithfield, Brighton, Bristol, and other places; and he was one of the persons concerned in the rob . - bery of Mr. Godfrey's'house, at 13ittOn, a few months ago.. Some of the property has been recovered in consequence of his kOnfession, and.we would give a more minute detail of his nefarious transactions, but that we might thereby defeat the.ends of iustice, with regard to. his equally guilty coritirailltibli Gloucester Journal.. • ..--~•-. - t -.-. r. =fi ~• ~ "I',71 1 711 1 " 0 5 1 "7" ler"' .41 ghat he .

The Conousta said it, was a most dangerous ailing to throw boards down in that manner. It Arts a most shameful affair. Had it been the master, he should have made many more observations to the Jury; but a boy, merely of the age of fourteen, it was a veer 'wrong thing for him to be set to el.) it. Had it been a deaf man, they might have called out foi. ever. Poor people, he said, were subject to such injuries by d:e carelessness of their masters. There was a great inattention in this case, by setting a boy to th rove? die boards down that en dangeredC the lives of twenty oc thirty people, instead of bringing them down care fully. Had the master himself done it,-it would liav e amounted to manslaughter. It ought to have been done by a discreet man ; but the master, he said, might be indicted for a nuisance. The Jury expressed themselves very strongly upon the subject, and observed, that such practices ought to-be put a stop to. They were well aware that if a Man had been set to do it the accident would not have happened, and it was a great wonder the board did Clot bring the boy down with it.—After a s.:ort con sultation, they returned a verdict—Acri,lci:_:l I Death" Friday evening, an Invisition was tal;•.!ii at the 'Turf Tap, Grosvenor-place, on the body cl James 'Linton, a child five years of age, who came to his death in the following manner:—The deceased lived with his father, James.

On Tuesday, the 13th instant, awaking about sit o'clock in the morning, and seeing his elder brother asleep, he took the candle, which was burning, and went into an adjoining room to light the .fire, having nothing on but his bed-gown, which by some accident or other took fire. His father was awoke by.the screams of the child, whom he fotinii by his bed-side, enveloped in flames; he immediately wrapped the bed-clothes around him, and.succeeded In extinguishing the flames. Oil was directly ap plied to the parts injured, and on the 22d instant the deceased- was taken to St. George's Uospital, where he lingered until Wednesday last. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidentally burned." is most extraordinary that oil shouli' have been ap p!ied to tee poor child, instead or cold water. Olt, -instead of curing a burn or scald, only aggravates either t h e* one or the other. Cold Water is the only remedy in these distressing cases; and it also instantaneously relieves the sting of a bee or wasp.

Sr. George's Hospital, where he was attended by Dr. HAWKINS, until Thursday last, wheii he died. It being the opinion of Dr. HAN KINS that the cause of his death was an affection of the liver, produced by the accident he had met with, the Jury found a verdict of " Accidental Dea:l4 caused by the falling of a piece of timber on his foot: Monday evening, an Inquest was held at the Six Bells, King's-road, Chelsea, on view of the body of a male child, which appeared to belong to Elisabeth Fuilegar, a young woman residing in Chelsea. Dr. Tnostesox stated that the child was in such a pntri tied situation from lying in a privy, that he could not exactly say in what manner it came to its death, but he was of ()pillion the child was still-born.
