LUDLAM, THE LUNATIC.—The keeper of this unfortunate gentleman, who made so curious an ap pearance on Tuesday at Lincoln's Inn Hall, attended yesterday at the Court of Chancery to seek his pa tient. He stated, that he saw the lunatic in bed at eleven on Tuesday night, at his lodgings in Charles. street, Westminster; that he took away his clothes which he had worn in the day, and when he went to , see him in the morning, he was not to be found. The only article missing from his room was a blan ket, which, lie supposed, he rolled round bim. The keeper stated lie had made a most diligent but fruit. less search after him. He was advi.ed by the Offi cers of the Court to wait on Mr. CARR, the &ere. wry of Lunatics, who would communicate the cir canistances to the Loins CHANCELLOR. FATAL ACCIDENT.--S.kturdity evening, as a Lidy and two Gentlemen were returning home in a one horse chaise from Narwich to Yartham, in attempt iug to pass a waggon, near Honirigham Church, they were unfortunately upset. when Mr. HURRY MARCON, who was sittivg on the left hand of the driver, was thrown under the wheels of the waggon, and kilted on the spot; the Lady happily escaped without ma teriel injury, hut the other Gentleman had three ribs broken, and was otherwise much hurt. The Provincial Papers hive, within the last week, mentioned many bases of injury done by the 9 reds over various parts of the country. They are ail, however, trivial, compared with the damage done in the Isle of Ely. in Cambridgeshire, as appears by the following extract from the Bury Paper : 66 ELY, JAN. 13. 1817.—1 t is with extreme regret we state, that a tremendous breach or gull has taken place in the Burnt Fen Bank, near Mr. Santini 's, on the river Lark, by which near 15.000 acres of land are inundated." At Boulogne, on the .sth inst. a very remarkable' phenomenon occurred. Between one and two o'clock in the morning, the sea became unusually agitated, add rushed Lao the port with such impetuosity, that in less than half an hour it had risen two feet above as ordinary level. A great number of ships and small craft were driven against the jettee of the port, and suffered more or less damage. S. me parts of the quay have been injured. This phenomenon is supposed to be Connected with some earthquake in oilier parts.

Yesterday the Sessions commenced at this Court, before the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Just;ce PARK, Mr. Juvice Annyrr, the RECORDER, &C. _ _ Betifmrin Hearn was indiefed for breaking and en tering the dwelling-house of J. Wliccler, and steal ing therefrom some glass ware, the priTtrty of James Baker. On the morning of the 29:h of December, the prisoner having a sack in hi, possession, containing the articles stoleo, was stepped by toe watchman coming fro:n Brentlord ; being asked what he had there ? he answered be had soo.e glass ware, his own property, which he was taking to Ealing. A mAii wbo was in company with him made his escape. Pri soner was detained till nest morning. when it was discovered that the Castle Inn, at Brentford, had been broken open, and some glass (the same that was found on prisoner) stolen. The property was proved by Mr. Baker, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty of steeling, but not of breaking and entering. lihn Davis and James Lemon were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Thomas Porteous, Esq. and stealing therefrom a silver can dlestick, his property. Amelia Marks stated, that she lives as servant in the house of prosecutor, who resides at No. 34, Half-moon-street, Piccadilly; she was positive that she had locked the area gate the night of the robbery. Robert Macey, another of Mr. Porteoues servants, stated, that immediately on missing the candlestick on the night of the robbery. he looked up the area, and saw the gate open ; he went up, and saw one of the prisoners ( Davis), he followed, and coming up with him, took him by the breast and said, e.l hope you are not the man who stole my master's candle. stick." Prisoner appeared confused, and said, " I am quite struck." Witness took him back, and in his way he dropped a skeleton key. Another skele ton key was found upon him, with which the Offi cer, who soon after came up, opened the area gate. CharlesJefferies, an Officer, coiroooratea this cart of the last witness's testimony. George Atkinson deposed, that he was going up Half Moon-street about a twat ter past eleven o'ciock on the 211th of December. The prisoner Lemon ran past him with something concealed in his bosom. Macey, the second witness, came up to him (witness) Soon after, and told him that his master's house had been robbed. On getting this information witness went into Piccadilly, where he very soon met with Lemon, whom he took into custody. In his posses sion, and buttoned up under his coat, was found the silver candlestick stolen, which was afterwards proved to be the property of Mr. Porteous. Some other witnesses corroborated the principal parts of the preceding testimony. The prisoner Davis, who is about 18 years of age, stated in his defence, that corning from Kensington he picked up the skeleton keys which were found in his possession. Lemon, who is a very young bey, said in his de fence, that coming down Piccadilly on tine night laid in the indictistenr, he was met by a man in a snuff-coloured coat, who produced the candlestick to him, and said he would give him a shilling if he took it heseie for him, lie (ptisoner) consented, and was going with the candlestick borne when he was taken into custody. Mt. Justice ABBOTT, before summing up. told the Jury, that if they believed the evidence of the in this case, they should find the prisoners guilty ; but there would a question remain, upon which he should take the opinion of the other Judges, es to whether the forcible opening of the area gate was a felony, within the meaning of the Act of Par liament? But it would not be necessary for hint to do this if the Jcry believed that the made stolen was of the value of 40s. fur then the taking it in a dwel ling house would amount to a capital felony. The Jury found both prisoners guilty of the break. ing and entering, and of steeling to the value of 395. The Court ordered them to be remanded until the °p eon of the Judges was taken On the Cast'. Richard Wiltshire and Nuran Parsons were indicted for stealing several articles of nearing apparel, the property of Itt•bert Hay wood. Plobecutur was a coachman in the service of a Gentleman. On the night of the 9th November was' going along the Stand, the female prisoner accosted him, and 'co quested to have something to drink.. Witness con sented to treat her, and they went into a public-house, where they had some gin. Witness had a bundle of clothes, which he laid down near him. The prisoner, Wiltshise, was present, and while witness was paying for the gin, both prisoners lett the house, Wiltshire saying to witness at the time " are you going ?" Immediately the landlord asked witness whether the bundle which was taken away was his? Witness then missed his bundle, .and immediately called out " thief," but was told not to be alarmed, it was only a lark. Never gut his bundle since that time.—Both prisoners were acquitted, purely, as Mr. Justice PACK said, through the humanity of the Jury; but Hay wood was directed to have his allowance, the Judge observing, at the same time, that he pitied him very much.. Mary Johnson was indicted for breaking and enter ing the dwelling-house of Mrs. Elizabeth Pond, and stealing therefrom several articles of wearing apparel, her property. The prosecutriz, who is a blind woman, left her own house in Broadway, Westminster, on the 27th , of December, in company with her sister, to go to l'er brother's knuss at Charing-cross. On her w ay thither she was followed and accosted by the prisoner, who told her that she had been travelling for three days, that she had not in that time had any thing to eat, and was then staving. Witness said she had no money, but if she (prisoner) would go home to • her (witness's) Wiese sale woultl get het some tat; prisoner consented. and when they get back to the home the sinter of witness made tea, aed primer got as much as she could eat and drink. Before she had dente eating, prisoner said that she was almost naked, and begged for some clothes; witness• gave her a goad black petticoat and some other articles, which she then put on. Prisoner then said, th it she hal a box with some clothes in it in Peter-soca, where it was detained for st. %%hie.' sum she ra euested witness would lend her, and she would repay it by worming saes.: of the clothes that were in it. Witness sa d she had not so much money, hut she took a gold ring from her finger, which she sent her sister to pawn, and got :Ss. on it; 2s. 9d. of if.is sum she gave to prisoner. Prisueer afterwards asked witness to go to a public-h•asse where her husband was; — witness and her sister went, and tuck share of a pint of ale, but the man whom she described as her hus band would not speak to her. On their return from the public-house to that of witness, some dispute arose between the prisoner and witness's sister, when prisoner threatened that if she (the sister) did not immediately leave the house, she would charge her on the watch. The sister then left the house, and soon after witness begged the prisoner to go with her for her sister, who WAS in the habit of. sleeping s.ith her; it was then ten o'clock. Pristrier' went with her, but took her a wrong way .and left her by her self near Broadway Chapel ' • was, e.s waited the re it the rain until eleven o'clock, when sense perosis came up and led her home ; on her return she found the door locked as she had left it, but on entering she found her box broken open, and the severe l articles mentioned in the indictment . gon e; the window shut ters, which were made frost before she left the house, were open on her return. Rebecca Pond, the sister of the last witness, comes borated her statement in its principal parts, and added, that the cause of the dispute between her and the prisoner, arose from the latter charging her with an intent to rob her sister; she vent lest the pri soner should charge her with the watch as she had threatened. E. Green, a police officer, being informed of the robbery, was for some time in search of the prisoner, whom he at length arrested at Moseley on the 7th of the present month; when she saw witness she began to cry, kpowing that he was an officer ; said she was well aware why he arrested her, and begged lie would not expose her in consequence of knowing hrr father and mother ; he then took her to her mother's house, where she was searched ; out her hied she wore a bonnet (afterwards proved to be the property of proseeetris), and in her handkerchief was a pawn broker's duplicate of a priests, which prisoner sieknov,- hedged she had pledged at Kingoen ; withe-s went to Kingston with time duplicate seed at the 'own, • which he then prodoced, and which Rebecca P•sed (the second witness) proved to be her stseer's property. Mr. Justice ABBOT then called up the.prosecutrix, and asked whether t:ie house she lived in was her own house? (It was so stated in the im.hctment.)— To which she replied in the negative; the owuer of the house did not reside in it. The prisoner being called on for her defence, ad skied that she had taken the articles, and expressed her sorrow fur it; but threw herself on the mercy of the Court, in consequence of het great distress, hav ing two young chttdren, and being now very near her accouchem:nt. She added, that her husband left her about four months ago in the state she was, and she knew net what to de, or where to go. The pri soner wept dui Mg time whole of the trial, and eissfee voured to hide her face. Mr. Justice 11 essoe summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; but recom mended her to mercy, on Account of her penitence and het' apparent distress. Thomas Goodall and George Wilson were indie•el for breakng and entering the dwelling-hause of Sarah Neville, on the 17th of DecersOna, and steelisig du:l,- Imm 3sl boxes and :ft) sets of dumaso., tee p:oeerzy of Thrones Wyatt. The prosecutor lives in the parish of St. Jesoes.— On the night laid in the indictment a p.ese of gloss was cut in his shop window, and the boxes which had been lying near it were taken Away. Witness was. not at home at the time, but being hammed by at boy, he went in search of the gobbets ; th • bey said he could point them out ; and as the:) , went along I.e met the two pr ers, whom he described as the per suns who took the boxes. Witness went to one of them (Goodall), and taking him by the culler, said Ise should go with hint to the Po soon r consented, mid in his way Al telliptCli tilr/W Stoffil. thing Irons him, which witness saw was a Lex of dominos. On Swing examined at the watch house, tour other bastes el donsines were found upon inns. In a subsequent exanduetiois, prisons:l Gouelell ac. k a awledged_ that lie, in censperty with others, had taken away 21 boxes of dominos. Mrs. Wyatt corroborated that pert of her husband's testimony which related to the loss of the JOllllllO9 and the detection of Goodall.
