LOSS OF THE HINDOSTAN EAST In addition to our account of yellerday we are Concerned to fate that three midtbipmen, Mr. Have HITT, Mr. HAMPAORD, and Mr. KIM?, were drowned. Mr. CLERK, a cadet, and about ao of the (earnest. were drowned, killed, or frozen to death. The fate of Mr. Caaaa, the cadet, was peculiarly hard. This poor young:man had been swathed from the raft, and had - allually regained the thip, when, his frength failing, he chopped from the marl on which he had clung for fupport. Soon after the get on the bank. the filled with water with the flood ; and as the fea made breaks over her, the remaining part of the crew who were lived were obliged to fit on the tops. Boats put 1 off from the (bore, and refcued them from their perilous fituation ; they were about tto in num. bee. At three o'clock. on Wednefday, Come of the marls and part of the hull were to be feen above water. and it was the opinion of well in formed profeflional people. that if immediate ex ertion was made, part of the goods and fpecie might be fared. The bullion on board was pri vate property, and amounted, we underßand. to about five and forty thoufand ounces. When the Grip frock, and no hopes of getting her off were left, the then being twelve miles from (bore. two rafts were made, and a great part of the crew, paffengers, tee. committed themfelves to them in hopes of floating on (bore. Thefe rafts, by the violence of the waves, were dathed againft each caner, and moll of the perfons on them were drowned or killed : fome efcapeci with their lives, and remained floating on the rafts. The Surgeon's servant had lathed bimfelf to the mart, which go. ng overboard, he was found frozen to death.— The Hindoflan, after drifting from her anchors on the evening of the nth, found her pumps chnaked next morning. The high North Eagerly winds blew fo violently towards the River, railing a tremendous fea, that fix or eight outward bound (hips returned to the Hope, but the Hindorlan was fail aground, and from the &CI it was evident the murk be loft.

No fault can polLbly be im puted to the Captain, as he never has charge of t'.4e (hip Ihe macs Portimmtb but no fault .4 • ia even imputed to the pilot. The Jai was ()eel tioned by bad weather, the tremendous gale alone; the crew and officers did their duty molt faithfully Mr. BRISCOE, one of the Company's Stirvoyor,, had a molt miraculous efcape. He was wafhed overboard in fight of the crew, who immediately threw a grapple after him, which caught his coat, but the cloth gave way, and the grapple returned to the veffel. Again it was thrown after him ; again he was caught, and again loft in the fame manner. The third attempt happily proved fuc ceisful, and Mr. Bat Seas was faved.—On the fhipl Itriking the fhore, th e b a k er an d b oat f wa i n flew t6' the fhrouds for fafery ; but this hafty expedient unfortunately proved their deftruEtion ; they both perifhed in fight of the furvivors, who could afford them no relief.

LEITH, JANUARY zo. Since Saturday Jail, we have had a continued heavy gale from the E. S. E. On Saturday ar rived in the Roads a large frigate ; but owing to the gale, no boats have landed from her. Same Mornmg early, a (loop, employed as a lighter, and loaded with Pones for the New Dock at this place, got aground at the back of the South Pier, and, the wind increafing, with a heavy furf, at the return of the following tide, (he was complete. ly wrecked; but the fails being previoufly taken a(horc, were, with a part of the rigging and ma terials, Caved. It blew very hard laft night, ac companied with a heavy lea, and the gale continu• ing to increafe, the high w a te r o f yea - o.day after noon tide exhibited a fcene feldom witneffed. The prodigious roaring furf without, compofed of continued breakers, and fometimes riling higher than the top of the light houfe, being interrupted in its progrefs by the angle of the North Pier, rolled into the harbour with itrefillible impetuoli ty, and occafioned fuch a violent commotion among the (hipping, that many of them fuftained damage by their ropes breaking, and from Tome of the mooring rings being torn from the pave ment ; and feveraf, to fecure their (hips, were obliged to bring on (hare anchors, and fix them in the arezt, and in the doors of'fiune of the houfes. In the Sand Port there was a prodigious fwell ; tau Props were funk, and others received confi derable damage. OLD BAILEY'. Yeterday fixteen prifoners were' tried, three of whom were capitally convicted, viz. Rickard Holford, yarn Copular, Wiliam Minis, and Benjamin James were indiaed for burglarioufly breaking and entering the houfe of Henry Wright, with intent to (teal, and (haling therein a boat cloak his property. Captain Wright raid, he has a houfe in the pa rills of Stepney, where he lives with his family ; there is a garden behind it, which opens into the fields; at a (mall diftance from the houfe is a chaife houfe ; this is within the fence, and here one of his fervants peeps. Jane Ether, the maid fervant, (wore, that on the evening of Sunday, 12th December laft, (he (hat the door of the chaife houfe. and made it complete ly faft. Next morning the found it opus; ; it teemed to have been broke open during the night. Captain Wright's coachman gave in evidence, that on Sunday, rath December, he drove his mater to the country, he is certain that he left the boat-cloak in the chaife•houfc. A Negro boy was then called, who Paid, that in the end of December he few all the four prifoners at Minis's lodgings, in Denmark•fireet ; they were all lying down except Benjamin James; James laid they mull go and fell Tome flockings they had Bolen, adding, " We likewife took a boat cloak, which would have fetched half a guinea, but we were obliged to throw it away in the fields." John Brown, an accomplice, admitted King's evidence, came next. He fwore that on the Sun day night he and the four priioners affembled to go upon a thieving excurfion ; they fet out between twelve and one, and loon got into the fields ; after croffing feveral fences they came to a houfe from which they tore off feveral leaden pipes ;—they then entered a garden; here they found eight pair of fiockings upon the currant bufhes, which they Role; advancing they arrived at a coach houfe; they immediately broke open the door ; upon go ing in they difcovered a large boat cloak, made of brown cantle, lined with green baize ; this they (tole ; but, going near the gardener's houfe, they heard Tome one cry " holloa !,' they inflantly made off, thinking they were purfued ; they had not got far when, to (peed their flight, they threw away the cloak in a ploughed field . - William 011iver dated, that on the morning of the ,sth December he went to plough a field of his near Captain Wright's; in this field he found a large boat cloak; he took it to Captain Wright, thinking it might be his. Captain Wright being again called up, fwore that the cloak was his property ,• he had it made for putting on when lie is upon the water ; he does not recollea any particular marks about it, but from its general appearance is Pure that it is his. A Police officer Poke of the prifoners being ap- prehended ; there was nothing found upon them. The prifoners Paid nothing in their defence, and salted no witoeffes. Mr. Junice LAWRIMCS obferved, that the prifo. um were indifted for burglary. The definition of this crime was breaking a dwelling houfe with intent to commit felony in the night time. If the prifoners had broken open this chaife houfe, they were unquellionably guilty of the offence laid to their charge. Being near the dwelling houfe, within die pales, and part of the family fleeping in it. the law confidered as a portion of the dwelling. houfe. The Jury would, therefore, have to con- Uzr what credit was due to the witneflis. Au accomplice was not to be believed but in as far as he was confirmed by other evidence ; but the of the three prifoners Hoiford, Connor, and Minis refted upon the teltimony of &own alone. The Jury, after a (hart cnnfultation, fend R. Holford, J. Connor, and W. Minis Not Guilty ; and 13. James Guilty—Death. Benjamin James and Wm. Minis were a . ga in put to the bar, upon another indidment, charging tilt ni with having ftnlen two laws and other articles, frornthe honfe of Phinneas Kindread ; and Richard Baker Was indided for receiving the laid goods, knowing them to he Rohn. The trial had fearcely begun when a fl tw was difcovered in the indiammt. The Frrofecutot's name is there fpelt Kindred, whereas he Rated that he fpells it with an a between the e and the d Kindread. The Lord Chief Baron laid the prifoners mull be acquitted, but another indidment lhould hepre ferred againfl them. France: Elliott, a fafhinnahle lady of the town, was capitally indicted for Healing a fur tippet, va. lue three guineas, privately, in the !hop of Wil liam Church Morhali, a furrier, in Hay's -court, Newport-market. The profecutor Rated, that the prifoner had been in his (hop on the ill of December ; that he afterwards miffed the article contained in the in diament. The following day, about noon, he raw the prifoner walking along by the Piazzas at Co vent-Garden, and immediately knew the tippet which the had on her at the time to he the fame that was Rulers from him. Not wiffiing to make any difturbance, or draw a mob about him, he went up quietly to her, and Paid, " My dear, will you come along with me?" She anfwered, "Yes, ' I will ; where are you going to take me to ?" He concluded her along the Piazzas, through Great Ruffell-greet ; and when be came to the corner of Bow-flreet, the laid, " Lord, Sir, where are you going with me ?" He Rill proceeded towards the Public Office, when, appearing to be in a flight, (he exclaimed, "Good GOD, Sir, yon alarm me!" The profecutor then told her where he was going to, and what his objed was in taking her there. The Magiftrates were not then titling. and it was with fomedifficuity he could make the Officers take charge of the prifoner. She denied having Role the tippet ; laid (he had purch tied it that morning from a woman for a guinea and a half; and told the profecutor, if it was his, he might take it back again, and the would put up with the lots of the money the had paid for it. Before this, the afked him if he had any thing to fay to her, why might they not fettle it quietly ? She next aflted him what the value of the tippet Was ? He ftid three guineas to a furrier; upon which file took three guineas from her pocket, and offered them to him. But he refufed to take them, obferving, that he would not compound a felony. She afterwards defired to fpeak with the profecutor in private; but he perfifled in delivering her lip to juftice. Mils Morhall, the filter of the profecutor, who ferved in his (hop, laid, the prifoner ufed fre quently to come there, and by that means (he was well acquainted with her perfon. On the evening of the t ft of December the prifoner, accompanied by an old woman, whom (he called her fervart, and whom the witnefs had often fern before, came into the Mop, and alked to look at Tome velvet hats. The witnefs took them up (lairs into an apartment, whic'a was alfo a !hop ; where the looked at feveral bats, but made choice of none.— They then came down, and the prifoner bought an inferior chip hat, which the had rejelted before. On the counter, in the (hop up (lairs, there were three tippets, which the witnefs had made that day; they were there when the women came in, and no other perfons but they were there, from that time until the miffed one of them. When they were up hits, the old woman flood near where the tippets lay, and the prifoner Rood between her and the witnefs, at whom the looked ftedfatily, as if with a defign of arreßing her attention. Upon coming down !lairs, they Teemed is a great hurry to be gone, the prifoner ezpreffing her fears that the thould be too late for the play. The witnefs• (wore to the identity of the tippet. When the prifoner was called on for her de fence, the addreffed the Court in a moll earnea and nnembarraffed manner. She Paid, that Sarah Moore, the old woman who accompanied her into the (hop, had been, but was not then her (errant. She called her, however, by that name, (he never took the tippet,. nor knew of (uch a thing having been Rolm ; but on the following morning, Sarah Moore, who lived (errant with another Ludy. called on her with the tippet claimed by the pro. fecutor, Paid, her miftreft had, the day before, received it as a prefent from a Gentleman, that the gave it to her (Moore), who then offered to fell it to the prifoner at a reafonable price. The prifoner then Paid, the gave this old woman, who could not lime be found or heard of, a guinea and a half for it. After making this porthole, the put it on, together with the hat the had bought the day before, and wore it publicly in the greet, which it was not likely the would have done, had the been confcious of guilt. She appealed to Goo as her Judge, if what the had juft (aid, was not a true Rory. The profecutor and his filler took occafion to inform the Court, that the prifoner ufed to call Sarah Moore her mother. As foon as the prifoner beard this nbfervatinn, the exclaimed—"Oh! no, no—fie! fie! for flame! I might have addrefed her by the name of Aletber Moerr; but could any one imagine that fuch a vile low wretch as the was my mother!!" The Judge, in the courfe of his charge, obfer•ed, that if the prifoner, by endeavouring to arrett the attention of the (hop•woman, had de6gnedly. af forded her companion a better opportunity of ttealing the property, the was equally guilty with her. The Jury, after foam deliberation. found the prifoner Guilty—Death. Upon hearing the vent& the fainted in the arms of the attendant. She is a good•looking young woman, 23 years of age, and appeared to be a woman of information. • Seven were cam v Vied of Felony, viz. Edward After? 7, for (haling a rack, contain ing a 0,11111;4y *of wheat, the property of John Shepperd F.:Hick; Thom: Sedgaciici, for ftealing part of a dit.ll 7 .:d ham, the property of James George Gann ; William Parer.. , fir Dealing a copper, the property of T. Pane 71-‘::?er Rrwe, for ittmling fix filk handkerchief;, the property of Daniel ; Richard Richard: and . 7ofeph ilealing a pair of boots, the property of Steplren Kimpton ; and Joha Bolder, for flealing 73 lbs. weight of beef, the property of John Mel lerifh. Ann Browne was indiaed for (leafing a watch, value 21. the property of John Jolhua Moring, in the dwelhog•lionfe of John Williams. Sofa:lo.th Williams fititi, the kept a chandler's (hop on Lambeth-hill, Dodors' Commons, and that, on tile 24th of November lafl, the prifoner Came in, pointing to her mouth and her ear, to fignify tint the was deaf and dumb. She then pulled a printed paper out of her pocket, which Ilated her to be a native of Bolton, in America ; that fire was the feventh daughter of the jitunib fun, and could perform wonders in the bet:fins-art. The witnefs bad no occaflon to make trial of her ficill on her own account, but called down a lodger, who had three children, one of them very much afiliaed with fome difiemper. The prifoner looked at the child, and wrote on the table, with chalh, that the would undertake the cure for ire fii/- five. Tie parties made fome helitation as to the price, and offered three thillings; but, after a little confederation, they acceded to the terms offered by the prifoner, who minded to return with the einfi in about a couple of hours. As the went, the looked round the room, as if with an intention to fleal fomething. The watch was then hanging by the fire-fide. She returned at the fiated time, and put down her phial near to the place where the watch hung. The witnefs called down he:. friend, and the pretended pupil of .tElculapius wrote a long prefcription in chalk, as to the man ner of treating the child. She then fignified a dellre to be alone with the witnefs ; and after a little further communication in chalk, was taking her leave, when the fon of the witnefs entering, the prifoner wrote on the door, " That is your fon." This confirmed the opinion of her (kill, for the witnefs thought that it was impo . ple fhe could know that without infPiration. During this occur rence, feveral perfons came into the fhop,and wer e ferved by the witnefs. The watch was loon miffed, but the prifoner was not feen till three weeks after wards, when (he was met by the fon, in Giallo clurt, Mutton-hill : by that time fhe had found her tongue, and denied any knowledge of the tranf aaion. The R E COR DI it here obferved it was anneceffary to proceed any farther with the evidence, as the watch had not beeen miffed till fome time after the ptifoner was gone ; other perfons had been in the lbop, and no poffelEon had been proved; it was therefore extremely unfafe for a Jury to con. vii under tech circumstances ; and he had met with fuch ilrange and unaccountable things in the lofing of property, that the evidence fhould in all cafes be clear Snd unequivocal. The prifoner was immediately acquitted: Ihe was a very decent young woman, about as years old, and had a fine child - in her arms during the trial. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. A cafe upon an Appeal from one of the lower Courts was decided here, which may be regarded as of conlicierable importance, inafmuch as it in foam meafure fettles the point refpefting the fort of carriages which, in the eye of the law, are held to be Rage carriages for travellers, and confequentlr liable to the duty impofed by Ad of Parliament upon Tech conveyances. A woman, of the name of Sam& Onnt, who has for feveral years part been engaged in the honour* able employment of watching for delinquents, lodging informations againft them, and earning a comfortable fublitlence by the profits arifing from the convidion of offenders, found out that the ve. hick, which, under the name of a waggon, par • fed and repaired between Piccadilly and Marlow, was not, in fad, a waggon, but a machine Mindy fitted up for the accommodation of travellers, fufpended on chains, with a coach box, and in every effential point refernbling a Rage coach. In confequence of her information the owner was called before a Magißrate, and convicted in the mi tigated penalty of 51. The affair was then brought by appeal before this Court, where the evidence of Sarah Orono was directly contradicted by Mr. Hatchett, of the White liorfe, Piccadilly, who (wore that for ur wards of thirty years part it had flopped at his father's, now his own honks and that no patrol. gers wereever hooked for it, though at times it might take up tome poor travellers, and carrr them for a trifle, a practice common to it with all the other waggons throughout the kingdom. It was not (afpended on fprings, or chains, but retied on the a:keret, and hati always been confidered as a waggon for the purple of conveying bores. I trunks, and all heavy luggage. He believed that the ad might with equal - propriety be tortured, ki as to impure a duty on Mont Garnerin for carry. ing Nitrogen through the air in his Milton. In reply to one of the Counfel, he Rated, that Calwes ' were often brought alive to town by this convey. ante, and fent to gentlemen and butchers. Mr. ' Hatchet evinced much ability on his erofs-eransi. nation t and his evidence alone, by which he gave new light on the tidied of waggons to a very nn. memos aftemblage of blagierates, was the chief caufe of reverting the former deciGon. The evidence of the keeper of the turnpike gate vris to the fame effect. He proved, that the vs. hick bad always been weighed as a waggon. Waller, belonging to the Gentlemen Farmers of the Poll Hort* Duty, alto proved moil clearly, that it did not come under the meaning of the Ad, it bring a common Carrier's Ca for conveying of heavy luggage, as rill aa paiengrtt OCCAllOnaiLr. • .
