RP , 0 tett .A?ke Burden appealed against the conviction of the Magis trates of Queen Square, pronounced against her as a rogue and varabond under the Vagrant Act. k appeared, upon the evidence of Thomas Gilman, a Police Officer, that on the evening of the 7th inst. he was walking along the Strand, and accidently overheard the conversation of two respectable looking young women, from which he suspect ed their business, and accordingly watched them, and observed than enter a neighbouring court leading out of t he Strand, and so into the apartment which he knew the Appellant occupied, whose profession, or calling, were previously known to him. By the time he thought the ladies were seated, he went up stairs, and on entering observed 14 or 15 young females sitting round the tea-table, at which the Appellant presided, who was read ing, from the grounds of a tea-cup, the several destinies of her fair auditors. One of them she particularly addressed, and told her she should see a great many changes and misfortunes, but she would surmount them all in the end, for a young man of prOperty, vsith light hair, would fall desperately in love with ber and marry her; but e should previously take some liberties with her person, which she must not resist on any account, as be should prove a very great friend to her.—Upon this the wit ness came forward, and to the astonishment of the company contradicted the Sybil in the material part of her prophecy, by declaring she was the damsel with whom those liberties would be taken, and he was the lover (not with the light, but with th•.! black hair) who woulti take that liberty with her person, by conducting her befGre the Magistrates; and among other illpkinents of her art, he seized a Bnok entitled " The True FO-tune Teller ; or, The - ode of 'Faith laid open." The Cita RM. ra was of opinion, that the evidence was insuf fcient to support the conviction. Although Gilman had heard the words, he could not produce the person to wham they were addressed, nor did he see any money paid by any of the Com pany, and, therefore, could not say for what purpose they were collected ; and, however he might regret it, the conviction must be quashed. Yesterday, the Westminster Ses;ions terminated with some trials for petty offences, among which Thomas Rebertx was convicted upon two several indictments of stealing a quantity of pewter puts, the property of two publi cans in Westminster. He was a respectable looking old man, but a n )ted ..Lender, having been twice before convicted of si znilar offencei. The Court se.; tenced him to be iinpriwned fourteen days in the House of Correction, upon each conviction. 4in6w4riA and it Wry, the former a journeyman printer and thc latter a lawyers clerk, wet e found guilty of an assault upon a publican, in Little Catherine -street, Strand, and ordered to flud 3 weirs foi - good behaviour for two years.

Two were unfortunately drowned. . ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. A young woman was found drownei Friday morning, near • Westminster •Bridge, by JcnN Powis, a bareeman.
