The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at Stamitird-bill, and the prisoner Kel:awar was his gardener, and had been so for two years and n half. It appeared, that on Monday, Nov. IS, the prisoner Lowther, a trititerer, was ap prehended by a wa:chinan, with the pears in his possession t eingtaken to the watch-Louse, he confessed that he had received them of Kellaway. On Tuesday, Nov. 16, before Mr. Collins went to town in thy morning, his _gardener requested him to send down • letter to the magistrates, who had taken his friend Lowther, for having a few pears in his possesAion which he had gine hiai. The prosectitvr then went down to the magistrates, together with Keilaway, and when the pears were produced, he knew then, to be his own; there were about a peck and a half of them, and were worth Ss. Toe magisi tate, upon bearing the evidence,. immediately committed the gardener a. the thief, awl Lowther the receiver. A great number of witnesses gave both the prisoners an ex cellent character. The Jury deliberated a long time, and then returned a verdict Wing Kellaway Gnilty and Lowther Not Guilty. The Common Sergeant then sentenced Kellaway to be im prisoned one year in the House of Correction, to be kept to bard labour and to be whipped in the gaol. Last night a dreadful fire broke out 'near Wapping docks. It began on the premises of Messrs. 'Vince and Clark; but wh. thee it were occasioned by mere accident, or by neglect an e elesseees, we could n , t ascertain. The extensive dry cod warehouses of Messrs. Vizier and Co. were soou burs to the ground, and the contiagration spread to the neighbouring houses, many of which were speedily destroyed. chief suderera are Mr. Oliver, an ironmonger, and Mr. Walelle, a vintner. Happily no lives were lost; though a severe areident betel 'Thomas Scott, one of the firemen of the Globe office; part of a wall tmnbteil in and nearly crushed him ; he was, however, carried to an adjoitalug house, with some brpee of reonvery.

W. regret to state, that the county of Waterford, at a dis t nee of about six miles to We westward of the city, con- Lases to exhibit scenes of robbery, and symptoms of worse outr•ige. Ni later than Thursday eteanight, there were very strong Indications of it, conspiracy to assassinate. As no atteinpt,however,,was actually made' and as the object of the plot was fully upon his guard, we forbear to enter into pfif I 'elat.; hat we canoe omit this opportarbity of again exhorting gentlemen and farmers to increase their vigilance, and. if possible, to organize their activity.—Waferferd Mirror, Der. 7. Thursday morning seven prisoners (all transports) confined in Carlisle Goal, made their escape in a manner the most dar ing and outrageous. The turnkey (Mr. Brown) went with Lis atteridaut, as usual, a little hefbre eight o'clock, to open the doors of the prison rooms; when it is customary for his at tendant on the outside to lock the outer door until he retiree; f(910 the cells (it being considered unsafe fur him to have the key then on his person); just as the doer opened to let bins out, Pellet, one of the transports, flew upon him with a short thick staff, struck him to the ground, so violently as to render him nimble to make any resistance ' • and immediately six more rushed up to their leader (all with their irons off) and pro- ceeding to the lodge, went op stairs, palled the turnkey's wife out of bed, and threatened to kill her if she did not pro duce Use key of the street-door; which she did ; wheat they opened the door, and thee made their escape. Mrs. Brown immediately followed M her shift so the itseet s cad pee (be alarm. They dispersed themselves in the fields.

A few days ago, in the neighbourhood of .Glasgow, two gentleareu were attacked by rive men, and robbed. It is -.hocking to add, that one of the two was imoroleted by re- peated blows on the head with au iron bar; and is the third murder that has occurred in , that neighbourhood within a few • weeks. In the neighbourhood of Halle whole fields of young corn have been destro)ed by snails, which have been produced by the continued wet summer; and which nothing but the frost eaa destroy.

On Saturday sen'night.the sloop of Mr. Meredith, Waterloo House, Woolwich, was feloniously entered, and molted of se veral pieces of muslin, with which the thieves got clear air. A competion took place at Mt. George's-market, Ordure'. road, on Saturday se'nuight, highly advantageous to the pub lic. Two butchers commenced voilla seihiug their meat et a reduced price, and before night brought all the rest into their vortex. The result was, prime joints of mutton were sold at 24.1. a pound, and beef at ;id. The Rsyal Omette of the 19th of November, published at Mt. John's, Newfoundland, annotinews the metal's:ll°i) loss on that coast of the transport ship Harpooner, Joseph Btiant, master, with more than half the nafortunato people with whom she was freighted. The Harpooner left Qiieboc oo the 27th of October, bewail for London, with invalids, and de tachments from tits Fourth Royal Veteran Battalion, and other corps stationed in °maths, ma a number of women and chil dren, in all 380. The ship struck on a reef of rocks off Cape Pine, on the 10th ult. and shortly filled with water, when a 'limber of persons between decks were drowned. ie ves sel kept together lentil the morning of the I lth, when the wreck was hailed by the mate and four others, who had ven tured on shore in a boat, at the Inward of their fives, and in formed the sufferers of their situation. For the boat to re tern was impossible : a line was therefore fasten :d romid a dog, which fortunately happened to be on board, and being thrown over, lie swam with it on shore, which was the means of saving the lives of the master, crew, and &shoat 160 pas sengers.
