JUVENILE PF.DESTRIANISYL A short time since, a boy named Pickett, about ten years of age, of the parish of Wroughton, Wilts, went to live with a brother at Croydon, in Surrey ; after being there for some time, t. disagrement took place, when the boy started, and walked all the way from Croydon to Wroughton, a distance of ninety- Eve miles, with only twopence in his pocket, with which he purchased a penny cake and a pint of small beer, having no other sustenance on the road. COWES, AUGUST 24. Our Annual Regatta this year has been more than usually splendid. The fineness of tite weather on Monday and Tuesday, induced a great number of persons, from all parts of the Island, as well as from the other side of the water, to attend ; indeed, so novel and pleasing a scene is but seldom to be witnessed, there being no situation in this country so well adapted for an Plea tic amusement of this kind. On Monday, after the review of the whole of the pilot vessels belonging to the Island, which occu pied the whole of the morning, the rowing match took place, and was well contested ; the boats being stationed in a line off the Parade, and opposite to the King's 'louse, on the signal being given, proceeded to the westward, round a flag-boat stationed between Cowes Castle and Egypt-house; thence to the eastward, round a flag-boat stationed in Cowes Roads, off Old Castle Point, and returned back to the starting boat, which course they went round three times. The boat first in the last time going round s was the Elizabeth, belonging to E. Jerkins, entitled to seven sovereigns : the second boat was the Ilarriet, John Later, en titled to five sovereigns ; and the third boat the Augusta, Robert Miller, entitled to two sovereigns. Tuesday, the Sailing Match, patronized by the Members of tl.e Royal Yacht Club, took place. About half-past twelve o'clock, the following vessels started, on a signal being fired ft.:tit the Resolution cutter, stationed off Cowes Castle, viz.— 'I he Cumberland, 25 tons, belonging to Mr. Thomas Hughes ; Charles and Helen, 23 tons, belonging to Mr. George Rats.:y ; the Ant, 51 tons, Mr. Samuel Summers; the Accommodation, 24 tons, George Judd ; the Sons of Commerce, 51 tons, Edward Stevens, junior; the Nancy, 27 tons, Loring Cork; the Favou rite' 27 tons, John Caws; and the Anna and Maria, 24 tons, D. Ellyett. The course pursued was the same as that of last year, which they went round thrice. The vessel first in, the last time going round, was the Cumberland, entitled to thirty sovereigns; the second was the Charles and Helen, entitled to eighteen sovereigns ;• the third vessel was the Ant, entitled to twelve sovereigns ; and the fourth vessel was the Accommoda tion, entitled to ten sovereigns. YARMOUTH, AUGUST 24. - - Our Races on Tuesday and Wednesday presented an increased display of fashionable equip :ges, amongst which were those of the principal families of the county and neighbourhood. The first day's sport was but indifferent: the Gold Cup, value lOngs. was woo by Mr. liaison's Lass heating Major Wilson's Rotter dam. The Sweepstakes of 20v. each, and lOgs. added, was won by Mr. J. M. Fellows's Yarico beating Mr..Utting's Mary ; and the Sweepstakes of lugs each, and 20p. added, was won by Mr. Cay's Hazard beating Mr. Postle's Dymoke and Mr. Jary's Jack Randal.—The second day, the Members' Plate of Fifty Pounds was won by Mr. Scott's Euphrates heating Lord Dun wich's Maoris. The first heat of this race afforded excellent sport, being won by a neck only. The Ladies' Plate of 50 was won in two well-contested heats by Mr. Villiers' Tanais, beating Mr. Rush's Waxy. Mr. J. M. Fellows's Yarico started for this Plate, but bolted out of the course immediately after starting, and was consequently distanced : the rider was thrown, but fortunately received no injury. A Bye Match for £5O be tween Mr. Cay's hazard and Mr. lining's Mary finished the best day's race ever remembered at Yarmouth: the first heat of the match was declared a dead one, by the Stewards, the second was won by the mare only by a length, and the third heat was declared in favour of Hazard, in consequence of the rider of the mare being thrown by some person improperly crossing the Coarse at the time : the rider received considerable injury from the fall : the mare took the river and swam across; she was ov,rtalen by a man who followed her in a beat, and brought back the sante way. The balls and ordinaries each day were fully attended, and a subscription was entered into and tkllrd fm a gold cup, for next year, value l CO guineas. SALISBURY AUGUST 25. Our Triennial Musical Festival commenced on Wedneday evening with a Grand Miscellaneous Con cert at the Assembly Room, which was numerously and fashionably attended. Among those present weie The Marquis of Allesbury, Lord and Lady Arundel, Lord Fulkstone and family, Lady Islildmay, Sir John and Lady Mt ley, the Bishop of Salisbury, his Lady, and family, Lady Med. licott, the Hon. Mrs. Harris, Sir J. Burrough's family, W. Wyndham. Esq. 111.1'.and Lady, &c. &c. Upwards of 900 persons attended the Cathedral on Thursday morning, where a Grand Selection (f Sa cred Music (chiefly from HANDEL) was performed in the finest style imaginable; nor was the Concert in the evening less distinguished. The pertOrmance of yesterday morning at the Cathedral was HANDEL'S Oratorio of The Messiah, which, in point of scientific execution throughout, and sublimity of effect, has rarely been surpassed. The Festival closed yesterday evening with a Concert and Ball, which attracted crowds of visitors. The whole was conducted in a manner highly creditable to the scientific taste and li berality of Mr. CORER, and attracted an unusual in flux of visitors to this city. Saturday afternoon a numerous assemblage was collected in a field without the Fortifications of Port-' sea, near the Flat houses, to witness the ascent of Mr. GREEN, in a balloon, which took place soon after three o'clock; but owing to the density of the atmosphere it was visible a very short time, and took a direction towards Chichester, and finally alighted near the village of Langstone. Saturday, the Festival of St. Louis was celebrated by the French in this metropolis with considerable pomp and splendour. The French Catholic Chapel in Little George -street, King -street, Portman-square, WAS decorated in grand style, and High Mass was performed, being crowded in all parts by well-dressed per.ons, or foreign Noblesse. In the evening his Excellency the French Ambassador entertained a party of distinction. A very splendid party are on a visit to the Earl of MORLEY, at Saltram; Earl SPENCER and Lord Mott 'Ertl, are among the Noble Earl's guests. The last accounts from Milton Abbey state that the Countess FITZWILLIAM was rather better, but still continued very unwell. The King of the NETHERLANDS has made a pre sent of an elephant to the King of PausstA, v.hich is every moment expected to arrive at Potsdam. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 25. IN THE MATTER OF BROWN, A BANKRUPT. The bankrupt in this case was one of the partners of the Windsor Bank, which Bank stopped payment upwards of four years ago. The bankrupt was then examined before the Commissioners, and by them committed for not giving satisfactory ans.rers to the qaestions then put to him. Ile has been in custody ever since that time, and was this day brought up upon Habeas Corpus, at his own request, to explain his former sta►ements, and to argue his right to be discharged. He addressed the LORD CIIANCELLOR at considerable length, and entered into an extended review of the state of his' affairs at the time the firm stopped payment; and contended that, under all the circumstances of the case, he had given a fair and satisfactory explanation of his concerns, and ought to be discharged. The Lotto CHANCELLOR said, he must take till Monday morning to look into the papers, and would then give his opinion. That opinion would be con ! tained in two words, either dt.,charge or commit-. ment ; it would, therefore, be unnecessary to trouble, , the bankrupt to come up again. If it should happen th.tt he felt it his painful duty to continue the com mitment, Mr. Brown might still make his application to the twelve Judges, one after the other, and even should eleven of the Judges nice with him (the Lord Chancellor) that the commitment should be conti nued, and Mr. Brown should be so fortunate as to find one Judge out of the twelve who considered his answers satisfactory. and that he ought to be dis charged, he would be entitled to the benefit of that opinion, and obtain his discharge, notwithstanding the L ud Chancellor and eleven of the Judges thought otherwise. Ills Lordship's Sittings concluded this day: he will, however, sit in his own room on Monday, to de liver a judgment or two. SURREY ASSIZES.-CROYDON AUGUST 25. GAITSKEI.L V. FAIR AND ANOTIIER. This was an action against the defendants two of the inhabi ants of the Halt Hundred of Brixton, to recover a compensation in damages for the injury done to the plaintiff's house, by a tumultuous mob assembled to compel an illumination for the result of the proceedings against her Majesty Queen Caroline, in the House of Lords, in November last. The plaintiff is a surgeon at Rotherhithe, and on the 13th of November, in the evening, his house was attacked by a mob of about one thousand persons.— The plaintiff had the front of his house illuminated with a dozen flambeaux, but this was not sufficient to please the people ; they said he was a shabby King's man, and he must be compelled to light up as he ought. They broke six large panes of his glass, and then departed. For this injury he brought his action, claiming a 'ainst the Hundred the sum of £2. 1 ls.—The case being made out in evidence, the plaintiff had a verdict for £2. I Is. WOODEOFFE V. THE SAME. This was another action of the same description.— Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 18s. CALDCLEUGH V. HAINES AND ANOTHFR. This was a like action. The case was made nut in evidence, the plaintiff had a verdict for £lO. 155.3 d. EEDES V. RROADLEY AND ANOTHER. This was also a similar action, brought by a widow Lady in the neighbourhood of Croydon. The plain tiff made out a claim for El. 16s. Bd. for which sum she had a verdict. Edward Lee was indicted for assaulting Joseph Spicer, on the King's highway, at Southwark, on the 25th of July last, putting him in fear, and taking from his person 3s. 6J. his property. The prisoner made no defence. He was found Guilty—Death. The Learned Judge pronounced the sentence of the law upon him, and warned him to prepare for a l speedy death. DURHAM ASSIZES, AUGUST 41.-RAFT_ Charles Dixon, aged 25, a loyman in Sunderland, was charged with having ravished Ann Macdonald, a single woman, aged 19. Mr. POLLOCK was Counsel for the prisoner. Ann Macdonald, the prosecutrir, stated that she had been in the service of Mr. Dinning, who kept a public-house at Dinning. She had been a year and a half in service before she had come to Dinning's, and she had been not quite half a year there. Her father lived at Monk-Wearmouth. The prisoner and two men had come into the house about three o'clock on the 21st of March. She had seen him in the house on the Saturday and the Monday before. Two, others came in at five. They had five quarts of ale, ' . and they had some steaks for supper. Her mistress had gone into the place where they were drinking, and asked payment of the reckoning. One of them said she might go to h-11 for it. Her mistress had before asked her to get rayment, and then said she would keep seven shillings (the reckoning) out of her wages if she did not get it. The prisoner said, if one would go with him to his mother's, he would get money to pay it. Her mistress desired her to put on her bonnet and go ; she said she . would not, for she knew nothing of the man. Her mistress then said to her husband, " James, will you go ?" He answered, " How the h-11 can 1,, when the house is in such an uproar?" There was a quarrel between two of the, men, who fought without their coats : Bell, whose wife was there, was one of the two. Her mistress again said to her she must go, and when she ob jected, her mistress said, " This good woman (Mrs. Bell) will perhaps go with you.' With this woman' she went. He had Mrs. Bell's arm in his, and the' witness walked beside her. He desired her to take his arm, and when she refused, he took her hand and passed it within his arm. The woman said, as they were going along the street, that her face w as so ill, with the erysipelas she must go into a house, she could not endure the cold. It was about nine o'clock. Witness said she would not go with him, alone, be cause he was a stranger to her. He said his mother's was very near, in Bishop-Wearmouth, and they would be back in twenty minutes, and that his sister would come back with her. She had never been in Bishop- Wearmouth. He led her away when the woman left them. It was dark, and no lamps were lighted there. By a light from a glass-house, or a lime-kiln, she saw that they had got beyond all the houses and were at a grass•bank, and she shrieked out. There he treated her with great violence, and at length effected his purpose. She kept shrieking " Murder !"_(ln course of this part of the evidence she stated the gross expression frequently in the months of sailors, which he applied to her.)—She exclaimed during the struggle, What a wicked woman to leave me in this way.!" He said, ‘c She knew very well, for I nipped and pinched her I , arm." He then led her home, and frightened her the whole way if she ever mentioned it. She knew where the grass-hank was only by his threatening to thre w her irro the gill. He told her, as he was returning with her, that he knew the clerk of Sunderland, and that he would send him to her to get her name, and they would be proclaimed in Church. He often said, If you ever put it out, I'll be the end of you." Ile went into the house first. She went to the back kitchen. Her master was out. Ile said that his mo ther was nut, and that he would have broken the desk for money, but that his sister refused, and added, that as sure as he bad a soul to save, he would bring it in the morning. The witness thought twice to rise to tell her mistress, but she was not able. She cried very heavily. Her mistress never asked anything.— She served ale afterwards at her mistress's desire, and went to Mr. Lee's for her master. Her mistress told her next morning that the man (Dixon) had wagered a gallon of ale that they would be married before May, and her master had wagered a pint of ruin they would not. She laid down the brush, and ran into the kitchen, and cried. Her mistress asked what was the matter ? She then said, "It would look as well if you had asked that last night, when you spoke twice to me, and I had not been able to answer."— She told her mistress what had happened. She went to her father, and afterwards she was taken before a Magistrate. Her mistress said, If it were me, I would stand at the gallows' foot and see him hanged." Cross-exantiAed.—The prisoner had never come into the back kitchen. Her mistress said next morn ing, that it was 11 o'clock when they had come back. By the COURT.—Mrs. Bell said she need nut be afraid, for be was not a married man. Mrs. Dinning swore that she bad once ordered the prisoner out of the back kitchen, that he might not hinder Ann Macdonald from her washing, and that she understood from a little girl that he was there twice before; that Ann Macdonald said Dixon had plenty of notes—(the witness could not well explain how the prisoner had been pointed out as hawing the notes, for she admitted that his name had not been used)—and that she said next morning that she was afraid of being with child. By the COURT.—Did you threaten to keep 7s. out of her wages?—No: I could not, for the had re ceived 12s. Gd. What wages did she receive ?—Four pounds in the year. Well, you know more than 7s. were 'clue ?—She had received a quarter's wages and 12s. 6d. besides. The Rector's gill was a good mile from their house.' Ann Macdonald served a pint of ale to the prisoner after their return. She did her work as usual. Wit ness was with her, and gave her plenty of opportunity to tell at night. In the morning she had not cried till she was asked whether she was to be married.-1 1 The girl had never shewn any forwardness towards men. She had not blamed her for sending her out. I She conducted herself very well. William Ainsley, servant to the Rev. Dr. Grey, proved from circumstantial references to dates, that a little after ten on the night - of the 21st he heard a female shrieking " Murder!" at the gill. He went to the ground, but the cries had ceased, and he I saw nothing. Alexander Macdonald, the girl's father, stated that he had lived nine years at Monk-Wearmuuth. On the 22d his daughter told him of the outrage com mitted by a man upon her. She was assisted to bed, and was never well since. A medical man was called, and afterwards a Magistrate, for she was not able to go. She was his youngest daughter by his former marriage. --(The agitation and distress of this poor man were very affecting. His language and dress indicated him a native of the north.) Jpseph Lees was the constable who took the pri soner. On seeing witness the prisoner launched his coble, and went to sea. He landed at a distance of five miles, and was apprehended. He resisted, but was overpowered. He said, "I know I have been in fault, but I hope to get off with two years' im prisonment." The prisoner was married, and had three children. Mr. Hopworth, the surgeon, described the violence ii done to the person of the prosecutrix. She was very reluctant to let him examine her person. The deposition before Mr. Pemberton used a tech nical description instead of her terms respecting the man.ner in which the offence was committed, and this appeared to be a contradiction to her present testi mony, but she stated that the deposition had been explained to her as meaning what she had now sworn. She was again examined by his Lordship as to the points in which Mrs. Dinning's evidence was opposed to her's, but she firmly adhered to the same testi mony. She had heard them say they had notzs, but she saw none. She did not know till after the vio lence had been offered that he was a married man. She said to her mistress in the mottling, that she and that man had ruined her. The prisoner was called on for his defence, and said, " My Lord, I have nothing to say." Mr. Justice Bextry.—This was .a case which re quired careful and anxious consideration. The feel ings were naturally roused in. such a case, and it was therefore necessary to take care that their feelings should not get the better of the cool judgment which ought to be exercised. It was impossible that a greater injury could be inflicted on a helpless wo man than a crime of this sort, and therefore the feelings must be strongly interested. The evidence of the young woman might be so broken in upon, that he, if he were one of them, might be obliged to say, that it was not safe to trust her testimony where life was at hazard. He said it might be so; it was for them to consider whether it was so,—(His Lord ship then read over :he evidence, remarking that it would appear better if she had declined to repeat the coarse sailor terms, and that she seemed to have pre served presence of mind during the violence of her struggle.)—lf they believed that the crime was com mitted without any consent from her, it was 'their duty to find him guilty. But in a case where life was certainly at stake, if any reasonable doubt ex isted, they would give the prisoner the benefit of it. " I anxiously hope (concluded his Lordship) that your conclusion will do justice to the case on both sides." The Jury having retired for nearly an hour, re turned with a verdict of—Not Guilty. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.— Gentlemen, I hope your ,verdict will prove satisfactory: I am much obliged to you for the assistance you have given me. Th e young woman may have stated nothing but the truth; it is likely that her evidence was quite true, and I hope she will leave this Court without any reflection upon her credit ; but in such, a case, and with such circumstances cf difficulty and doubt, your verdict was the one to which you could mote safely come. Foreman (who had taken notes of the evidence).... That was exactly our view of it. . _ The prisoner sat down during the absence of the Jury, and stood up on their return. When he heard the verdict, he turned suddenly pale, rested his fore head on his right hand, and, at the moment tbe Learned Judge concluded his remarks on the ver. diet, dropped down in a swoon. He was carried senseless out of Court. The girl, Ann Macdonald, never remained a ma ment in Court but while. she was under examination. This bring the last trial for the Crown Conic, the Jury was discharged at its conclusion. POLICE. AFFRAY AT KNIGHTSBRIDGE.MA RLIOROUCH liana CrUfitlis, William Figg, and several others, were brought up, charged with being concerned in the above affray. George Blanc, constable, stated, that after the Blot Act was read in the Barrack-yard, he and several other constables were ordered nut to disperse the mob that had collected, and that on the appear ance of the officers the people seemed to retreat, hut that the prisoner Griffiths turned round, and called nut, " Stand, con, ands, stand !" and seemed unwilling to retire ; be could ne t . however, swear if the wor ds " Stand, cowards, stand," were addressed to the people or to the officers. William Craig, eon. stable, corroborated the above statement, and was positive the words alluded to the people. This prisoner was admitted to bail, and the others were discharged. dummy/al.—Ann Smith was charged with robbing Little Radical Waddington of 20. It appeared front the statement of the comphinont, that as he was passing through Long-lane co Sunday night, he was rudely accosted by the prisoner, who, while she employed one hand in a way we shall nut describe, put the other its his waistcoat pocket, and took out the above sum ; and before he could summon assistance, she called the watch, and they were both taken to the watch-house. In de 'fence the prironer said, Waddington put the money into hee hand, and strongly insisted on taking liberties witii her, which obliged her to call the watch. This Waddington defile .1; be, however, was unwilling that the case should to to the *Woe; and the pr isoner was discharged with an admonition. The Offi cer then applied to know to whom the money should be given, and the Alderman directed it to be given to the poor wsraan; but Waddington formally claimed it, saying, it would seem like an acknowledgment of the truth of the defence if he suffered het to retain it. It was accordingly given to him, and by him to the watchman. One or two of the light-fingered gentry attempted yesterday to exercise their calling, at the funerals of HONEY and FRANCIS, but they were detected and punished in a summary way at the pump. Wednesday morning, John Bennie and William Sutherland were executed at Edinburgh, pursuant to their sentence, for house-breaking and theft. Friday, at midnight, a most awful fire broke out in the factory of Messrs. HUMPIIRIEs and Son, oppo site the South Parade, Frome. Upon the first alarm the inhabitants assembled in great numbers, and not withstanding their exertions with four engines the whole building, with all its machinery and stock within, was totally destroyed. The body of fire that issued front the premises, which, being situate on aa eminence, was so great as to throw an intense iightoa every house in the town, and to be seen at Newbury, in Berkshire, a distance of 50 miles. The heat waste that degree, that the leaves and fruit on the trees ex posed to it, for nearly 100 yards in front, are partly dried up. Not more than £BOO of the property was insured ; and about 2.00 industrious hands arz de prived of employment. BIRTHS. Friday, the Lady of William Terry, Esq. N.P. of a son.
