This watch was at that time begun, and has been made on purpose for her MAJESTY. in a style worthy or her MAJESTY'S acceptance, while it will afford Great Britain a splendid testimony of the superior skill of our watchmakers, who famish ac curate time-pieces, while their Continental rivals furnish only Randy toys under that denomina tion, as daily exhibited in the window' of the metropolis.

It having been nor constant practice to devote our columns to all matters that relate to the elle. elation of human misery, we are happy in drawing the attention of our readers to the following Petition, presented last Monday ro the House of Commons by Mr. Bernal. Shootd the shortness of the pre sent Session prevent the subject being taken into immediate sconsideiation, we trust the interference of the Lords of the Treasury, under whore control all matters relating to this immediate service is placed, will render any future application unneces sary. Should it, however, happen otherwise, the Petition being sent to every Member, they will be in possession of the continued and unubming cause of the death of throe inend circumstance of which we are continued they could not by any possibility be aware. The Petition itself renders it unnecessary fur us to add more " A Petition of William Henry Mattison was presented and read, getting forth, that the Petitioner, during several Sessions of Parliament, from th e h opes Of rendering his Life Preserver available to the preservation of his Majesty's subjects when shipwreck necnrrod, presented Petitions to the House, *hen, from reasons which do mot bicome the Petitioner to impugn, it was considered by the House in applicable to that great and national purpose. " The Petitioner must humbly submits that the arguments then adduced do not apply,neither ought to prevent, through the possession and vise of the invention, the &tore preserva tion of that meritorious class of takers and men at present employed is She dangerous service of persuing smugglers, in which hazardous duty, since the frassnetion of the corps known tinder the designation of 01Seers And Men employed is the Preventive Smuggling Duty, so less than thirteen officers and ninety men have unnecessarily aad prematurely perished. _ _ Oaken.

The Petitioner trusts, that, honeout as he is by the Re moieties. of the Heuse in NU, sail other teen imegials of the highest official characters, the House will learn with the b,glwst gratification, that It is its the power of the Petitioner to eunvioce any Committee that sissy be appointed, that the lives of these officers and meta, whilst employed in the dan gerous service of porrairg smemelees, nay in future be pre served to their cottony, wise it is the will of Ilse House so to do; the more particularly,sis, through the extension of the. preventive nianggling system to the southern coast of Ireland, the consequent extensiou of the unnecessary death tames, entitled by every law, human and divine, to their country's protection, must ensue. . 4 The Petisitmee has heard it stated, t►ere are other feven tions mole effectual to this desirable purpose; the Petitioner knows °lnoue; but should such be the case it can make no difference to the House, through whose iuceuioas Inventions the lives of these officers and into are preserved, provided the mesas of future preservation are not sitliheld from them.

" The Petitioner the more humbly submits the above to the consideration of the House, as the prayer of this Petition is now reduced to a specific and limited nature, and it must be apparent to the House, that in this short apace of time 103 British officers and men have lost their lives, when, but fur the danger attending this service, it is not probable that one would have died in the course of nature. 4 The Petit r therefore prays the House, that a Com. miller may be appointed by the House, in order to ascertain whether the lives of the officers and men employed in the pursuit of smugglers may slot be preserved in future through their beiug permitted the use of the Sesmeses Friend, or such other means or inventions as may appear best calcu filed to cattalo so desirable an end ; or that the House w 11, in their wisdom, take such other means fur the application of the Petitioner's invention to the purposes aforesaid as in their judgment shall be most 6t and proper.

This rat seems formerly to have had one of its hind fret snapped off by a trap, just below the knee joint, and the wound has. through time, healed up ; at this part, there is actually formed a new foot, with the claws, &e. precisely the same as any of the others; and the bone, which had been cat through farther down titan the flesh, still remains.

Robert Ilkoctitopogh, a young lad, stood indicted for uttering it forged one-pound note, knowing k to he forged, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Thomas Warner, a tailor, residing at 41, Grub.- street, deposed, that en the 24th April la•t it person somethu►g like the Priamier came to his shop. mud purchased a waistcoat for Ss., in ryinent of which he tendered a oae-pound note. The following day he Caine and purchased a coil, and paid another note, both which proved to be bad. The person gave his address, 's Robert Browne, Rastoke-street," but tin such persona resided there. In consequence of some information he received, he went, in cote puny with a peace-officer, in search of the person, and met the Prisoner at the bar in Barbican. and there arrested him. He told the Prisoorr he was the man he had been in search of, for putting off a bud note, and the Prisoner answered, " I know I am ; but, fur Gud's sake ! don't hurt ine." Cross-examined by Mr. LAW.—He said he would not swear ptentively to the person of the Prisoner. Prisoner told witness be ►old' his watch to a person in the street, from whom he got the notes. Mrs. Warner, wife to the former witness, corro borated put of his statement. Win. Thomas, shopmatt to Mr. Harris, opposite the house of Mr. Warner, stated, that on the 24th of April he gave him change of a note, which he said was the note produced to him. Robert Saps/ell, constable, proved that he ar rested the Prisoner in Barbican; he begged him to let his father know, who, he said, lived in Bar tholomew-square. Mr. Christmas, inspector of Bank notes to the 8111111 of England, proved the notes to be forged. The Prisoner being called on for his defence, stated that he sold his watch to a stranger, and got the notes in qiiesiion in payment. Several wittiesees gave the Prisoner a good cha racter. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evi dence, the Jury retired for half an hour, and re• turned a verdict of Guilty; but recommended him to mercy on the ground of his youth, Isis good cha racter, and the probability that, having been out of employment, lie was made the dupe of designing persons. John Low was convicted of the minor offence, of having in his possession forged Bank of Eng land notes. It appeared in evidence that the police-officer who searched his lodgings found in a tub no less a number than sixty forged notes. blizabeth Webster was capitally indicted for ut tering three forged notes, knowing them to be forged. It appeared that the Prisoner, on the 24th of February lust, went into the shop of Mr. Vomiter, a chandler ut Bromley, and there gave in payment for some articles she purchased a forged one ironed note. Some time after she went into the Moor's Arms, opposite to the house of Mr. Poulter, where ►he offered another note, but Mr. Underwood, the keeper of the tavern, refused to give her change. She was seen by a little girl, and was brought into the house of Mr. Poulter by a peace officer, and on being charged with passing a had note iti the house, she immedi ately swallowed the note she had in her hind. She was then taken to the watch-house, but from that she made her escape. Oil the 31st March she went into the shop of Mr. Browne, a chandler at Mlle End, and there she purchased some bread, butter, tea, anti cheese, and offered • note in payment. Mrs. Browne put the note up to the candle, and immediately told the Prisoner it was a bad note, end asked her where she got it. First she said she knew, and afterwards she denied it. While in conversation with the Prisoner, a man came into the shop who pretended to be drunk, and after some inquiries he pushed the Prisoner out of the door, and thus she made her escape. Mrs. Browne kept the note, and the Prisoner .vas subsequently ap prehended. The note was produced, and • Gentleman from the Bank proved it to he forged. Mr. Justice BAYLICY, in summing up the evi dence, expressed his regret that the Prisoner hsd not followed the example of so many otherp, and pleaded Guilty to the minor offence. The Jury, without hesitation, found her (hairy— Death. Mr. Justice BATLEY stated to the Jury, that she appeared to have acted under the influence of a mutt who had been convicted of the saint offence, iO coosequence of which the Jury recommended her to mercy. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. CHARGE OF LIBEL. Robert Kemp and James Cotton were indicted for a libel on Henry Beverly Wakeling. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecu tion. The Prosecutor, he said, was a young man, conducting clerk to Mr. Price, •n eminent Solici tor. The Defendants were, one of them the clerk, and the other the steward, of • Benefit Society called the Unite', Friendly Society. Some time ago the Prosecutor became a member of this So ciety, and soon after had the misfoitune of cutting his hand in a manner which disabled bhp fiom fol lowing his occupation. For some time he supp . orted himself without making any application to the So ciety; but his disability of following his employ ment continuing much longer than lie expected, he applied, as lie was entitled to do, to the Society for assistance, and twelve shillings and sixpence a week were allowed him. But although lie was unable to write or otherwise employ himself in his profession, it became sometimes necessary that lie should go to Mr. Price's office to give information respecting the busines s in which he bad been previously engaged. —Tile officers of the Friendly Society having beard of those occasional visits of the Prosecutor to Mr. Price's office, took it into their beads that he must he ►reviving his 'salary, and was •o longer enti tled to assistance from the Society, they therefore refused to continue any fu►ther rel►ef. The Pro secutor, who was not receiving any salary, and who %sus incapable of earning soy, felt himself aggrieved the eortdnet of the of f icer*, and in conacquence aiStrainsimed thefts before the Magistrates at War 611111. I fertrt Police-office, where th'e payment of h:a al 1611%nee: reoin the Socisty was ordered. It appear dillfilift its it‘oorve of the examination the Proseru 4earts4e etas inquired. and he stated what he he !revert and what he still believes, that he was 23 years of age. The Defendant* proceeded to make a search in the church books where the Prosecutor's baptism was registered. from which they came to the conclusion, that the Prosecutor was not quite twenty-two years of age; and they immediately issued a printed circolar Ikter to the Members of the Society, and which also came into the hands of many other., in which they stated that the Prose cutor had committed perjury in the account he gave of his age before the Magrstrates. The Learn ed Gentleman said these facts should be proved, end the Jury could then have no difficulty in pro nouncing • verdict of guilty. The Prosecutor proved the case as statett. Fie accounted for his uncertainty respecting his age, by the death of his parents in his infancy. but remem bered having entered into the navy in the year 1811. Mr. ANDREWS made a most ingenious defence for the Prisoners. De said the printed circulars were only intended to give notice to the members of the Society of the conduct on the part of orte of them, with which it was proper they alsoold he made acquainted, for the purpose of considering wlnther any proceedings should be taken on it. The CHAIRMAN charged the Jury that the pub lication was in his opinion libellous, but they were the proper constitutional judges both of the law and the fact, and he their verdict what it might, the diameter of the Prosecutor must stand above sus picion. Ile had offered himself for cross-exatni nation, but was too pore to be injured by it. The Jury consulted for a long time, and then inquired of the Chairman whether a part of them might give up their opinion to the majority. The CHAIRMAN told them they must all agree in the verdict. They renewed their consultation ; and after a little lime brought in a verdict of 1101 Guilty on both Defeudants. POLICE. MANSION Romps. INTERESTING TO LONDON. THE Tn*ua Ftadaww.—A fisherman was brought be. fore the Lord Mayor, on a diorite of working wills as on• lawful net, by Mr. Nelson. lb. Wa t er Bailiff. . . The fact was proved by Rough, the Deputy Water Bailiff, wbo seized the net from the Prisoner. The fishermen, in his detrncr, complained, that the water in the Thames had been rendered so unwholesome by the routine.' discharge of the poisonous gross matter into it, t►at but few fish could live in it, and the fishing hail Mee so unprofitable fur some time past as to compel the fisher men to have recourse to unlawful nets, to avoid utter starva tion. The fish In the river bad been gradually decreasind fur some time; bet now the increased discharge of gas water in the river, promises to drive the Ash out of it en tirely. The Lord Mayor expressed his astonishment at this state ment, as the Gas Company had been indicted al the Sea. lions, and the nuisance had been promised to be abated ; bat he doubted whether the poisonous water discharged from the gasometer could couthenivate the whole river. Mr. Nelson assured his Lordship, that the anises( e was.. tatulerable and more extensive than ever, and that the water was its an increased decree unwholesome. The baneful effects of the poisonous water were felt as fir as Brenttord up the river, and beyond Rotherhithe down it; but the ex tent of the evil was incalculable, as the fish that entered the coothrninated water were destroyed often by whole shoals. It was well knows, fur instance, that there was • long bank of mud, which extended for a censiderable dis tance, before the Temple, on which the red worm was bred is great quantities, sad so this bank the smaller fiat fish had, before the introduction of gas reservoirs resorted in abundance, but now that the gas water was discharged immediately into it, the numerods broods of fish that fed there, and helped to support the fishermen, were destroyed or driven away. The Water Bailiff mentioned the recent cir. conistauce of a horse having drank at the wate►•side by Westminster, and died immedistely after, when, on its being opened, it was declared that its death was caused by the poisonous quality of the water which it had drank, and which was saturated with the residue from the gasometer. The fisherman declared to the Lord Mayor, that in conse quence of the injury that had been dune to the river by the contaminated water that had been discharged in it, he did nut now earn four pounds where he had formerly been In the habit of earning folly, and that this was the case with ■ll his bietbren. The docks had dune them sufficieut injury before, for these were bodies of stagnant water saturated with copper, and other ingredients, to such a degree, that if a Irian slink in it, death was as certain, and all attempts to restore animation equally as ineffectual, as if be had fallen into a brewer's vat.— The water of this description which was emptied into the river from the docks, bad driven away many species of fish that formerly •isited the river periodically. The salmon was some time since caught in abundance, but scarcely any now came up the river, ant during the last year only out salmon had been caught. The shad and smelt, which were but • short time since the mimeo( great profit,..had almost entirely departed, and many fishermen, who formerly sup ported themselves and. families un the river, were driven away to seek their livelihood elsewhere, or to ewer into other occupations. But if the Gas Companies were suf fered to go on as they bad done fur some time back, the fishing would be almost entirely destroyed. The fisherman prayed that his Lordship would take these circumstances in miligstion of hi, offence. The Lord Mayor expressed his regret at the distress to which fishermen were reduced, and dad there was ao available remedy. He thought, however,ffiat the use of such nets as that found upun the Prisoner would only tend to in crease the evil. The Act was imperative upon him, and he bad no alternative. His Lordship condemned the net, but ordered its appendages to be restored, and mitigated the penalty. It has been given in evidence before the House of Com mons that the widening of the water-way at Londun.bridge, by its removal or otherwise, will Cause an increased body of water to flow higher up the river, and will feud materially to correct the evil complained of. SOW-STREET. Tester Jay an unfortunate girl, apparently about 1a ;eon of age, and of the most interesting and handsome person, but shove attire indicated exit-cute poverty and distress, ap. plied to the sitting Magistrate, Richard Birnie, Esq. fur re dress under the fullowiug circumstances : It appeared from her statement that she had fur the last three weeks been living at a house of ill-fame in Exeter street, Strand. The wretch who kept the Mimic had exact ed the enormous sum of three guineas per week for her board and lodging, and in consequence of her not being able to pay She sum due fur the last week, he threatened to strip her of her clothe. and tura her naked into the street, this thte.it be deferred executing until yesterday morning (having in the mean time kept her lucked up in a dark room, without any covering whatever), when in lieu of her clothes be gave her the tattered and loathsome garments she then appeared in, which were barely sufficient to preserve common decency, stud then brutally turned her into the, street, plunged tutu the must abject wretchedness. Being thus without usii ney or friends to whom she could apply in her present situation, her bodily strength exhausted by the dissipated life she had led, and rendered enure so by a lung abstinence from food; her spirits broken and overcome by the bitter aid humiliating reflection, that her own guilty conduct debarred her from flying to the fostering mitts of affectionate rterals, whom also she had !resoled nith des. genre and wisely, sod the too. inevitable capture of bee infamy, that it was some time ere her waudeoing senses were sufficieetly composed to determine what course she should pur.ue tit the preneet emerges' y, whea she tho•elit she could not du better than In have recourse to the ju.tore of her country againat the consist who had so basely toe.te4 her, and after extreme pain and difficulty she succeeded He &atria; her ',feeblerf limbs to the office. Daring the detail of the faregoiag particulars she seemed overwhelmed with shame and remorse, and at times sobbed so winked, as to render her voice ioartieulate. Her pitiesus nee excited the atteatioa and sympathy of all present, end it was much to the general satisfaction that Mr. Simi, ordered Humphreys, one of the conductors of patrol, to fetch the accused to the office. the his being brought there the necessary proceedings were gone inter s fur the purpose of indicting the house as • common brothel, M'e afterwards learned that this unhappy girl is of the must respectable parents, and for the last six year• had been residing with her noon. About three months ago some dif ference having arose between them, she abecondeel, 'skim with her wily n few shillings and the clothes which she thew wore.

Bangor Fer►y, February 10, 1021. &a—Agreeably to your directions, I procecird to mei examined the works ■t the harbour of Datum e. The. have now bees carried to a very considerable went, sad into upwards of thirty feet depth of water, at low water ..1' ordinary spring tides; they have been performed in a manner which pikes equal credit on tho►e who pistolled, and those who conducted and more immediately superintended the sundry operations. The performances, by means of the im proved diving machine, contrived by the able engineer, Mr. N immo, will be au excellent model for similar workr where • great depth of water is required, or where rucks are to be removed tinder water. The resident manager, Mr. has, by sagacious eon. duct and euresnitted taertioos out ouly pushed on the wosk• generally with regularity sod dispatch, but has brought the distieg bell operations, in great depths, to a degree of am, plicity, safely, sad celerity, which is easterly credible; she workmen actually preferriug 'lse* to the works ss.ove high water mark. All that relates to payments sad pecuniary concerns has been equally well conducted by Mr. Robert Grubb, under she direction of the Geneva' Pust.office. Bet having sow not only provides' effectual protection and accommodation for the packets, but also fur slie revenue and trading vessel. of great draft of water ; cad as any further extension. is so great a depth of water, with occasional later ruptions from violent storms, would be attended silk much trouble and expense; I iberefure recommend that the 'mei. neer be directed to sake the necessary measures to coMplete Ik e wor k s now on band, with sill practicable dispatch, and without attemptisg any further extension A,lthough the harbour protection wall be very complete the accommodation for passengers, after landing, will ',ill he imperfect, until a comfortable inn or hotel has been eonstrueted near the landing-plice; and for such an establishment there is ample space on the cleared ground on the north side of the high ridge of rock, which form a desirable protection, nut only to .bat apace but to the harbour itself. I cannot close this Report without stating that when the works have been completed as here recommended, • very valuable station will have been acquired in a very important point of the coast; •nd this, whether we regard the purl of Waterford, and the fertile districts to the north and wart of It, the occasional protection to the revenue cruiser., and general cusotin traders, or to the connexion with the south western parts of England. The Rreollllllll. dation will also be sufficiently extrusive far all that eau he at present contemplated ; and if increased prosperity re quires more, the present ternsinatioa offers no obstruction to extending the works to meet the greatest possible derninude.

The storms of December have brought it to the slope and firmness proper for receiving the ',sweater's on the sea front. The quarrying fur t h is pavement will, diirioc next reason, furnish all the additional rubble stone requisite complete the extent totiinsted fur. 1 would nut recommend any further extension of this mn:e until she benefit of the harbour be more fully eirperieuce I and 1 hate reason to lir titre the estimate formerly frarni%bed, will curer all the expense of completing the pier in its two. paired dimensions, viz 42,4001. Of that estimate, two crania of 12,000/. each have Seen already voted by Parliament, leaving a balance of the esti mate of 18,500/. Ten thousand pounds are required to nay on the works during next season. These week' will chiefly be, the eom ;lacono of the pavement and parapet on the sea side, soot the wharf wall tio the inside of the mule; fur which last work it has become necessary to procure proper stone (ei pecially for the diving hell part), at some whit distance up the haven, the quarry in the ueighbourhood of the pt. r being nearly exhausted. Fur further lafornsation as to the present state of she harbour, 1 big leave to refer to the Report of Mr. Telfued, who has lately visited the works, at She reqnest of the Gene. n 1 Post-office, and which Report, I understand, has bat • transmitted to Government.
