The Patriots had.--Eilled, 9S; wounded, Sl.- Among the latter was Lord COMMAS% who received a pistol shot in the leg, and a bayonet wound in his thigh. Lord Coen *sue was the first person on board, and attacked the Lieutenant of the watch of the Esmeralda, whose head be cut off at one blow ; the frigate was taken out, and, in IS minutes, was all sail set, under a very heavy fire from the batteries, ships, and gun-boats, mounting above 800 guns." • The attention of the Shipping and Commercial Interest is particularly called upon to attend to a Bill bronght in by Mr. DICKENSON and Mr. Cuftrus, to increase the power of the Commissioners of Sewers, already ample and extensive. The object of the Bill is to give to the Commissioners of Sewers power over Navigable Riveis. Almost the whole fashionable world was present at the Marchioness of SALISBURY'S rout, last night.

JOHN Wall:HT. This was a very affecting case. The prisoner stood Indicted for the murder of his own son, an infant only five years of age, by throwing him into the Birmingham Canal, on the sth of Sep tember last, whereby the unhappy child 'was drowned.. Sarah Lees.—l live at Wolverhampton—know the prisoner. In the month of September last he loded at my house. He had a w'te, but she did not live with him,.. and a little boy five years of age. His wife was in service; she came home with her husband on a Sunday, the Sd of September. They all thought she intended to stop. I came borne about seven o'clock, and found her in the house. She remained that night, and she and the prisoner app ea r e d to be very comfortable ;the; slept to gether. In the morning the prisoner got up before his wife, and went to fetch what was necessary for breakfast : he then called his wife, and they breakfasted together. After breakfast the prisoner's wife asked him if he was going to work? he said he wee, and added, ".Well, dear, you'll get my dinner ready ?" and she said she would. The prisoner was extremely cheerful sod happy. His Wife, however, went away as soon as he was gone, and never returned. The prisoner came home to dinner about one •he said , " What, has n 't m y w if e g ot me any dlr.- tier?" I ;aid, " No; she's gone: out." He uarped his foot, and aald, lam sure.she is.gone..eff again." lie remained at home woe little. time s Sid !Sakti' Wry. wild. He went out in an uncommon way ; and I said, Where are you going, Wright ; or what are yots ping to do r He raid be was going to look for her. 1. was ,nfraid.that he would make away with himself, from his agitated .and wild appearance ; I had felt alarms of that sort before. I tried to petsuatiebim to come back, but he would not. When he cainehome, his clothes were very wet, and I accused him "Pith havins ittempted to drown himself ; he looked very stern at me, and denied it, and begged me to say nothing at all to bins about it. He remained in his clothes as they were, and would not have them dried. In the afternoon the prisoner went to fetch his little boy from qchool ; this was not his habit. He pressed the little boy to his bosom, and said, " Ah! thy naughty mother has left us again ;" and when he looked at the child seemed to become more tender, although very good to it at all times • was particularly kind to the child the whole of the evening. The prisoner lived very poor in - general, his earnings being very small: at times, when there would be but little bread In the house, I'd say, " Wright, have a pint of beer, and get a bit of bread , it - will be better th an nothing;' and he said, "No I will keep it for little Jem—he can't do without." This occurred" frequently during the time he was with me. If they were short of food, he always kept some for the child, and was particular in having the child wished, and hearing it say Its prayers. I have offered him money, and he always said, " Keep it to buy milk for Jem." On the Monday night in question he asked me to put the child to Ord, which I did. The Inhaler and the child always slept together; they slept together that night. After the prisoner went to bed, I fetched his clothes down . to dry; he would keep his wet shirt on. The prisoner had nothing to eat that night, but had two half pints of ale, which I and a neighbour gave him. He got up the next morn ing a little after seven, and called the child. Hearing him call the child, I got up also. When I came down stairs he was smoking; very soon afterwards he went out with the child; nei ther of them had bad any food. I thought the prisoner was ra ther calmer than the evening before. I asked him where he was goingto take the boy? and he said," To the Workhouse." No thing more passed. He returned about ball-past. ten he was alone. I asked him it he had left the boy at the Workhouse ? He said he had. I observed that I thought it was a very good job that he was taken into the Workhouse. I added, " Now, Wright, you must pluck up your spirits, and endeavour to for get her, for she has forgotten you." He cried, and shut& his ' head, ;ltd said, " Ah, mistress !" and trembled very badly. He asked me If I would go and fetch his uncle Jem? and I said, " I will just now." He left the house, saying fie would go him ' self. When he tame from the Workhouse, as I thought, he looked very ill indeed, and trembled. I thought his Jetting" were hurt at being obliged to leave the child in. the Workhouse. I did not observe his clothes. After the prisoner had kit the house I went to the Workhouse, in consequence of something I heard from his uncle's wife. I did not lind the child there. I then returned home. Some time after the prisoner eams in with his uncle, Samuel Wright. When he came in, I said," Wright, what have you done with the child—where is poor Jem ?" He replied, "He is dead, mistress." When be said this he was crying sadly. I said nothing more; b ut the prisoner's uncle said, "He has drowued the child in the lock. The prisoner said nothing. The prisoner, on being asked by Mr: Baron GA ItilOW whether he had any questions to put to the witness? said, " None at all." ' Mary Anderson.—l live in the Hampton Lock. On the morning of the sth of September I had been for some milk, and was returning. On getting over a gate I saw a man stand ing in a field, with his back to me, and facing the sun. A child lay On the grass by the side of the man. .1 made up to bim, asked him if be had had the child in the cut ? The child w,is dressed, and wet. He said, " Ay." I said it was a good job that be had got it out again. 'lnc prisoner was that man. .1 afterwards saw the child carried by my house dead, on the same day about one o'clock. Other witnesses deposed that they had seen the priioner with the boy, in a similar manner. James Wright.—l live at Wolverhampton. lam uncle to the prisoner On the sth September last the prisoner came to me about half-past tdh, and said he wanted to speak to me. I went out with him, and at going towards thcWelnall road he said to me, " Uncle, 1 h.tve drowned the Lid." I said, " I hoped It was not true." fie said, "It is too true,". and added, " I wish to see my uncle Samuel." I went with the prisoner to look for big uncle. We met him close by the Red Lion ire. When we met him, Samuel said, " John, what is the matter with you? I see something very horrible in your countenance." I told my brother what had passed. The prisoner looked very wretched; he was all of a tremble. My brother said, " Whet shall Ido now?" I did not hear the prisoner make any reply. I told my brother I would take him down to the George inn, and give him a drop of drink to revive him. I did so. I took part of one pint of ale with him, and my brother sent fur me. I left the prisoner at the George, while I went to :ny My brother afterwards went for the prisoner to the George, a.. 41 'we went in search of the boy by the desire of the prisoner, who said, " 171 go and thew you what lock I put him in." The prisoner seemed very much confused before he could find the lock out. lie went to two locks before he found the . right; he was very melancholy. The third lock he came to he went and looked at a particular place, and said, " This is the lock I p•t the boy into." This lock was in Bushbury parish, in thiscounty. I asked hint if he was sure ? he teld use he was. 1 stripped myself and went in search of the hoy. I found the boy.abcut 12 or 14 yards below the lock ;are, in the pc:4ld. After I tech the bedy from the water, I laid it on the bank-side: the pri soner snt beside nisi brother. 1 afterwards asked leave to put it on the cabin of a boat going towards Wolverhampton. As the boy lay on the cabin, the pri•oner jurap...d to him, threw himself on the body, kissed it, and said, " Poor Joni !" The prisoner Was very melancholy, and hardly knew what to.do with himself. Samuel Wright, the br.rher of the Lust witness, stated, that his brother haul informed him of the drowning of the boy. The prisoner proposed to deliver hin:selt IT to ingice. Ile said his wife leaving him, end his er_treme poverty, had driven him to madness. He said, " I made for the Wednesfield Copal, and I there threw the child into the water; seeing the child sang gßug, I relented—jumped in, and took the child out of the water." (Here the witness was. greatly affected). I then said, • Where did you go after this?" and he said—" I made to a coo cage In order to dry the child's clothes, and take It home. The woman of the house refused my request, and I was ashamed to take it home in that condition, and resqlved again so effect my purpose of throwing it into the water." I now said to him, " If it be True that you have been in the water this morning, your clothes must be wet." I felt them, and they were so. L then giddy " What did the child say to you after it had recovered from its first throwing into the water r and he said . the child said to me.—" Father, what did you throw me in for? do n o g throw me in again, and I will not cry any more."
