An unfortunate accident took place at Sheerness on the afternoon of Wednesday last.—As the launch belonging to his Majesty's ship Ralson able, was proceeiing from that vessel, with a draft of men, to the • Namur (flag ship) at the Great Nore, she ran fwd . of the Martial gun brig, and almost immediately stink. It is supposed there were near 80 persons in the launch, of whom it is reported only 35 were saved.—The confusion that ensued on the vessels coming in contact, is represented as having been principally the cause of so many lives being lost. Eiam Jemmott, for piracy, is further respited for one week, from the expiration of his former respite. On Tuesday, as four soldiers were escorting two deserters up Lud hate-hill, one of them, a remarkably stout fellow, contrived to slip his andcuff, and ran with great precipitation up the Old on which one of the escort fired his piece at him, the ball of which went through the window of a respectable inhabitant. The report of the musket brought several of the turnkeys from Newgate, who, aliled by the guard of a mail coach, succeeded in stopping him, after much re.istance, dur ing which he threw several of them down in the mud ; nor did he submit tEI one of the escort came up and presented his piece, threaten ing to blow him to atoms. fie was then taken into tht, prison, aid, being properly secured, was safely conducted to the Savoy.

THE NATIONAL REGISTF,II. POLICE. MANSION-HOU,E.—On Thursday William Thomas charged John Olifnnt, before the LORD MAYOR, with violently assaulting him with a red-hot bar of iron on Tuesday List, by which his left arm was consia derably burnt, and his head cnt. Both these parties were fellow jour neymen blacksmiths at a Mr. Bailey's iron foundry, in Lower Thames street. The complainant was a Welchmari, the defendant an English man ; and some altercation taking place between them relative to money matters, in the course of which some national reflections made by John Bull exasperated Taffy to use some opprobrious epithets against his adversary, he, in a monient of irritation, drew a red-hot bar or iron from the furnace, and struck tiim on the eft arm, and burnt !din se verely ; he next struck him on the head, and cut him so severely that the blood gushed from the wound in great quantities. Notwithstanding this, the Welchrrian stood his ground until he gave his antagonist a good drubbing, being the strongest man of the two. On the part of the complainant, one of his brother journeymen (an Irishman) came for ward to give evidence ; but he delivered himself with such violence and incoherence, and in so peculiar a dialect, that the Lord Mayor could not comprehend him, and he was ultimately ordered to retire. Mr. Bailey, the master of the litigant parties, stated that Thomas was of a very turbulent and troublesome spirit, and had provoked Olifant by the most violent and opprobrious language. Under these circum stances the Lord Mayor recommended the parties to retire, and en deavour to settle the matter among themselves; and having consulted a part for some time, the parties again appeared at the bar, when it was intimated to his Lordship that Olifant had offered to pay the com plainant 41. but this the latter rejeated, as a very insufficient compensa tion for tke loss of his time, and two quarts of his precious blood.—His Lordship, however, thought it a very fair compensation, and dismissed the complaint, referring the complainant to the Sessions, if be should think proper to prefer an indictment.
