MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. IVesinesday, Wm. Moles, a t.hintney sweeper, who was in dieted at the but Old Bailey Sessions for the murder ofJ. - hog% Ilk :apprentice, aged five years, and acquitted, hut de tained, was indicted for an on the Soltlie child, stud plead ud Not Guilty. Ms. related scver3l (-sews of atrocious yr inience on the part of the priwaser tow.ts ds the deceased, which were fully • contirms..l inct idn siee. . Elizabeth Ware pi uv ed that she 11;11V the prisoner striking at the chilli's lees with brush to tutee hint up acl o i 11l 'icy, which .he was •utablr to ascend, and diva dragging hint 'loon by she leas, sad dashing hint with violence upon the door. basalt Rte es corroborated this testintoro., and added, that the pri , uto r declared he would scar the iuy oat what he gut -hint Inoue. . .... • Aline Chandler proved that the prisoner came to her house .in 11 liitcehapel, Ole the 2-3410 f ,Ipril,witli the deceased boy and another, to sweep a chimney, into which he put up the former, who stuck iu the due for nearly nil 11011 r. The pi isoner was at length prevaile'd-upuit to g et to the top of the chimney and es.- -tricate the child, which he did with loud imprecations against him. The moment he got Mtn down lie knocked him against a chest of drawers iu the room ; and when the child, almost sense less from the blow, was endeavouring .to recover himself, lie kicked him across the chaiMter; and in this case, as in the foe mer, repeated his asses eration, that he would serrehins oat when lie got him home. Mary Craig, who lived next door err the prisoner, proved, that on helping the wife of the latter,. who wets drunk, into leer aIWII ittalSe, she saw the child out the ground near the prisoner, sell° desired him to get up, which he was unable to do without the assistance of a stick. Wetness hooked at the boy's leg, whielt she found greatly swollen. At her suggestion the pi i sinter relished the wounded part with ointment; and a heu the hitter 'Mind the boy still unable to wall, he dashed him on the =round. . t.. halts and Esther Jacobs proved their having. on the 23d of April, a bile accidentally passing near the prisoner's house, been alarmed with screams and coins of murder and mercy. Rohs kicked in the door, and upbraided the prisolier and his wile with their umiatural a NM The latter held a strap iii her band, with which she avowed she had Ismit heating the child, tutit repeattAl that she would do so again. The prisoner, out tieing called upon for his defence, put in a moisten paper, cont.iining a general deaial of the charge, and • stating, that lie aas the victim of persecution. He did nut call any witnesses. 'fate Coart summed up, and the. Jury instantaneously return ed a verdict of Canty ; :u.d the J11.14r, after severely auunad ve rtii.g on his gnat, sentenced Mau to Two Years Imprison otemi. Friday.

Sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment. This l'i/Se excited much mirth in the Court. To a question from the. Learned Chairman, " What trade arc you i" the Pro secutor replied. " I am the finisher of the law, Sir!" Thomas Frankland, a notorious character, nas indicted for . stealing a pair of • stockings, the property of Elizabeth Wood. The fiefs were shortly these : Mrs. Wood, on going to bed, %%lien hallm.dressed, discovered the prisoner concealed tinder ber tied, wilen she gave the alarm, and the stockings were found upon Wm.—Guilty. Sentenced to seven years' transportation. Nothing can more effectually prove the fally of reject ing the means of vaccination to eradicate small-pox, and of adopting any inoculation of it upon the score of its se curity to the individual, than the fact of its contagion being preserved in clothes, in papers, and in buildings, thr an unknown period of years. Mr. Turner, in his History of Thibet, p. 219, affords an ample proof of this l ig*/ remark:--" The late Tishoo Lama, when the small-pox broke out nmung the inhabitants of the immense monas tery in which his palace is contained, removed his court; and the capital, Tishoo Loombo, remained three years with out inhabitants, that it might be no longer contagious. )3y all these cautions, the Lama remained free front the saiall.pox till the :,ge of 46 ; at that time he made a visit to China, whose Emperor, anxious to pay him divine ho nours, made a grand entertaintmmt for him in the Gar den of Gardens. Soon ;Alpr tLis, the Lama Was zcized with the small-pox, and died."—Sce Appendix to Lord Macartney's Embassy. _ '~ ~_ Daily experience also proves in London,•that the rooms —AI beds, bundles of papers, drawers, coaches, old clothes :c!l...ips, and any other articles, connected with any small pox patient many years past, unlc..ss thoroughly cleansed at the time, will open tic pandora of.contagion. The practice ()f the French, in keeping alive their institution for educating yanag men tier the office of. Consul, .as mentioned in the French Papers, is highly . praise-iverthy, and deserving of imitation by the Bri tish Government. It has been by such vigilance in the clucation of diplomatic characters that the French Nc-' poeiators have generally succeeded in carrying their; p;,int:;, in preference to all other-competitors in Cabinet In i-,11 aavertisement lately in a Dublin Paper, there _ippearetl an offer of an hou.e and land, together with sperking iiecommodati.ms ; in which it Wak; stated, tea .t whoi.ver might take the premises, should have per without fitrther leave—to shoot hints# • • • late I lows ger Countess of Conytighain has died, itinnenseiy h ; for, to the asteniehmerit of her Terre.. rentaiives, no less4lian one Hundred and fifty thousand guineas have been found securely deposited in leather .bags, within her rrivato closet.

The fellow then said, it' she would let I Mitt give !lima shilling lie would nut hurt her; to which she objected, and called out " Murder," at the same time forcing her way out of the house, with gre.d resolution, to alarm the neighbourhood; site was, however,overpowered, and inhumanly dragged to a corner of the garden, where the wretch stamped upon her body, and kicked her about the head in a most brutal manner; after %I Melt lie thought it prudent to retreat, leaving his unfortunate victim weltering DI her blood, and almost in a lifelesss state.
