Yea, he did, that the d—d powders had killed the child ; that the measles had filmed too soon, and tensed the inflausmati 111 l in the mouth" lir. Morris had seat a box of ointment for the use of the child's lip*, hot Dr. M•binnon, whets it was 'hewn to him, desire,: it might be put °sic side, and no more of it used. Mrs. Hannah Law, the a idow of Richard Law, stated, that she ludzes in the same house with the child's parents. She was in Mrs. Boulter's room when Dr. Whitlow' first came to see the child: he went to the and thawed the child his watch, and asked if hr saw that lie then in quired if the mother hail any advice about the child ; she :old him Dr. Morris attended him. lie replied, Dr. Mount was no doctor, but only rat apothscary, and asked whcrc was the thing, he had sent ; which, nn being shi wn to him, he , aiil they were ti--41 stuff, sail to throw them away; they weer poison, and nut to give the child any more of them ; th it what hail been given to him from Dr. Morris bad totally 62,atroyA Ike ehihrs mouth. He then asked what the child was its the practice of drinking? The 'souther told him bat ley water and milk, which was ordered by Dr. Morris to be given cold.

The mother then 'hewed him the box of ointment seat by Dr. Morris fur the child's lips, which were inflamed ; he said that may he pot one side, and nut used any more, and observed, that Dr. Morris attended two children belouging to Mr. Dopes.. ' who were afflicted with the same complaint, and they both died. lie seemed to be prejudiced against Dr. Morris, and observed, the child's mother might as well have On 01.1 woneau about her as him. The child got worse and worse till be died. Witness was in the room when Dr. 111'Kinnon last came, bat she bail nut heard him say the child was wilfully murdered She also saw the mother throw the remainder of the medicines Dr. Morris had sesit into the fire, by his instructi 111 l s, and heard him any the skull was affected by the calomel givess to it by Dr. Morris. Dr. was then sworn. He deposed that he resides in John-street, Adelphi, and is • physician to the Western Dispensary. Ow the 15th 'aslant, about two o'clock its the afternoon, he was sitting at the Dispensary, in Charles street, Westminster, when application was made to I - to see the deceased; but on account of the great number of patients, be could sot see him till between liner and four 41 duck ; he saw him at the parems• house, and conceived him in very great danger ; lw was speechless ; respiration and digestion almost entirely gone; pulse at Use wrist not to lw felt ; extremities cold, lips livid, with several other marks of rapidly approaching dissolution. lie asked if any other 'medical mass attended ; his parents answered Dr. Morris ; he inquired whether it was Dr. Morris, the physi cian, of Parliamenbstreet, or Mr. Morris, the apoiliscary, of Chazolos-street ; they answered the latter ; and he asked what had been the opinion of that gentleman, that he would wish to see him; they answered that kis opinion was favour able, but they never more wished to see him. Witness most solemnly declared upon his oath, that he mover asked for any medicines, nor that any had been slim., to him, or ever bad seem any of the medicines the child had been taking previous to his attendance. Conceiving the case to he hopeless, lie only gave the child a few grain's of rhubarb, and other little fever medicines; he under /stood the child had been ill for twelve days before he saw him, He had not mentioued Mr. Morris's name in any disrespect. fnl manner; did nut reconcile how often he called to see the child, nor when Ow child died ; he was shocked to hear the evidence given by the preceding witnesses, but he knew a great deal of ignorance prevailed ationszst the lower order of people ; be lived twelve years in John-street, and during that lime had much practice • 1111 l nest them, anal knew evils instaiwn of perjury. During his attendance the parents of the deceased were in • constant slate of intoxication ; the mother was on the stairs instead of attending the child, and he was informed the father had • man of coals over the child's body when he was dead in bed. Himself and Dr. Alums attended together sometime ago in a dangerous case, and both agreed so much so, that Dr. Morris had called at his house, and conferred friendly wills him upon it. With tr ess.% to calurnel Beier administered to the deceased he de clared beacon- knee what kind of medicine thechi Id had loam taking until be called at Dr. Morris's house, in consequence sof the report which prevailed its the neighbourhood, and foam' by his hooks that the awiliciues be had scut to the de cease., hail been such as he would himself prescribe. lie conceived the deceased had died in consequence of a putrid sore throat ; be had no •ppearance of the measles upon him. Dr. Morris bore said, that the expressions used by Doctor 111 , iiinnon respecting Mr. Dimree's children were solely the 'amie of nil the seaudakias reports its circulation so injurious to We character. . _ . Dr. 111•Kinnon said he wsa not aware of having made um of such expressions ; if be had it ea% not to injure Doctor Morris in his practice of medicine as a professional nom ; he did not think himself responsible for suy itiadvertent ob nervations he might hate made. 1)r. Morris then produced the following anonvmona letter, who h he 'Teemed by the twopenny ! a sst Sir, you are poldiely srt•used of murder; you must clear yourself, or you a►e ruined fur ever.'• Mra Mary Aon Robinson, who nursed the deceased; was then examined. She was pretest whew Dr. moon called stir. 11o:child's death ; Mid beard hi. sa) it was nti more than lie eneected ; that the eh.ld was murdered by tallies mercury, and if Mrs. Boulter paid Dr. Morris's bill he would more attend her. She sever saw the parent. of the child drunk, bite un ehe collar:cry, they both were remarkably *ober. The landlord of the parents sweet be had been in the habit of seising them daily, but that he arm obterved them drunk; they lodged in the house since October Nat. Doctor Thomas, of Leicester-place, Leicester-square, was examineJ —When the book was presented to trim, he said, aner what be had already wituesiwil, he hail great reluctance in being sworn, some oust of the former witnesses must have perjured themselves ; and for that rem. ,, ,,, if the Jury would Me pleased to bear him, lie would relate the truth without being sworn. The Coroner lutist hint nu evidewce could be received only upon oath, on which Mr. Thomas kissed the book. lie then stated, that Dr. Morris had called upon bin,, and related how his character had suffered by the report in circulation, he wished to have the whole investigates!, and cleared up. Mr. Thomas having understood that two respectable medical gentlemen declined doing any thing in the bushiest., he, in the presence of an eminent physician, and respectable apothecary, volunteered his services, and accord ingly went, accompanied by Mr. Jones, a reapectabie apothe cary and practitioner iu the Strand, to the residence of the pa rents of the deceased. Ow their tittering the place, lie found them more respectable and decent than persons of their de scriptiun generally are, and he observed to Mr. Junes, he had no doubt but they could readily get al the truth. They re. quested permission to examine the child's body, which was granted without hesitation. The body was in a rofila, and Ile lid instautly removed. They finuid ironsidOrahle ulce ration in the throat, and also on the h pa; but their attention was particularly directed to the state of the gnats, which wire suisisit, and which would nut be the case if itirrestry had htcu administered in any deleterious quantity. The child had every appearance of hating died through • putrid fe ver, attended with a sore throat. Winona and Mr. Jones next ex...lensed Dr. Morris's hooks, and were perfectly antis. lied the medicines entered as having been seal to the i te. ceased, was well Calculated to vest 4 re hum, :f ase virulence of Ili. complaint adinitted of a cure. The child's parents related to Cr Thomas, whets. he examined the body, the satyr in sob, Jim, as now appeared in evidence respecting Dr. %Pkiunu,i s Cu . Mt. Junes. apothecary, in the Strand, cuiffirmed Dr. Thomas's evidence. Mr Morris, of Chandos-atreet, who attended the de. ceased originally, was then examined.—He laid he practised in-mi•Jicine 25 years in his present linaw , and was forty years in the Mighbfierhood, Hr was called to the deceased on the Mk of the present Month, and found him labouring under a maliiiiaist more throat; his mouth was then ulce rated, and the symptoms were so violent the/ he could nut open Isis mouth or move his tongue. He aitended him until the day mentioned by the mother in her evidence, and at her request would have called daily, although he was aware it would he vain, only on that Monday two ladies, his patients, were taken in labour, which precluded him from attending ; hut he Rhea,. hail pest medicine, sufficient fur two days. Mrs. &oilier had taken offence at this, and procured the attendance of Dr. M'Kinnou. This gave rise to the report that he had nstudereil the child, and lie was afraid of his life it• hr tame into the neighbourhood. Mr. Gel', at the representation of the parish ; issued his 'meant to sumsnim a Jury at ten o'clock um hut Dr. M' Shim'', wrote to Mr. Gill by the Insdle, and nu Jury was called. The receipt of wimpy:nous letters, and the report of his having unirilereil the child, caused Dr. Morris to apply to the parish officers to have a Jury called, iii order to clear his character, and rescue his family from the cilium'' , and inevitable rims whirls such scaudalous accusation was likely to bring apuu them, and destroy all their future piospecis.

A letter received at Gibraltar, dated Madeira, the November, 1818, says--- , We feel it jocun-wilt, for the isifuenialiou of all cruisers, to Odom you of an outrageous robbery, which has lately beets committed by a pirate no the English schooner Sir Thomas Hardy, bound from Gibraltar to 'Trinidad, which occasioned that vessel to pot ii. here, in order to repair her damage, and afToril the crew and passen gers an opportunity of renewing their stock of pros isione and clothes. The occurrence took place on the 81h inst. in lat. 30 40. and lung 8. The pirate plundered and destroyed about one-ilsird of the cargo, part of which, and of the ship's stores, he threw overboard, rut souse of the rigging, and sub. jeeteil two gentlemen, who were p gm, Mr. Smith and Mr. Hill, to shackles, and almost suffocating confinement, fur eeveral hours, from whirl, be released them to undergo a muck execution, which was attended nob every painful circumstance of reality, except the loss of life; that he granted there, but nut until he had taken from them every thing valuable they possessed. That such a freebooter may not escape the sigilance of our eruisrrs, we subjoin, fur their information, such a descriptiou of hits, and hos ves sel, as we have been able to obtain. The vessel is a ship painted black with a white streak, bas black quer. ter cloths, mid is light and high out of the water ; but her quarters are nut real. She has • billet bead, four windows in the stern, with • star painted on one side of each of the outer ours. Sire is American built, and is supposed to base been a schooner raised upon. Her bor. den is ;aid to be aboot three limidred tuns ; and she carries sixteen twelve-postad carrunadee, wills one hundred no ti at least. The pirate commanding calls himself Almeida. He speaks English very well, is rather a short undo, stud has a most malicious cast in his eyes. When the ideate at tacked the Sir Thomas Hardy, be bad a flag hoisted, blue— while—blue, and ucver 'Mewed any other. He did nut pre tend to be an Insurgent, but boldly declared himself at war with all tuitions." SERIOUS ACCIDENT. An accident, which had nearly proved fatal in its COOP!. occurred In Mali-Surgeon Doughty, of the Albany Hospital, Isle of Wight, Friday sennight, about four o'clock, in the harbour of West Cowes. Being on his return from a mow of duty at Porchester Castle, in the Depot buy, in com pany with Colonel Maiuwaring sad Dr. Denecke, and on fol lowing them wit of the cabin un the deck, lie found the Cultre! had lust his hat overboard ; he having an umbrella iu loin hand, was about tor put it up to screen his Commander's head from the rain, which was then fast falling, when the main-sail sudienly blew to the side un which he was stand jug, sod struck hint with such force as to throw him oil his balance, carry him over the vessel's side, and plunge him into the sea, when he immediately sunk, and was carried by fhe tide under her keel, although she was then sailing. Rising to the surface (though no ',migmatite), he struggled greatly with the troubled virulent fur some time, when be again went down, and, after a short interval, came to the sot face a &mind time, and renewed his at, aggks for the preservation of lift-, but was soon exhausted, and hi■ efforts finally ceased. lam a few seconds lie must have dis. appeared; and, although every possible celerity was used in lowering and manning the Iwo boats of the Depot vessel to render assistance, yet, it is believed, neither the une nor the other could have arrived in sufficient lime. The eye of Pro. violence had, however, directed Sir George Thomas to the scene, wham, fortunately being in his boat to windward, enure down with a degree of rapidity highly honourable to his 1111. triunity, wed who arrived just iii time to save a sinking fallow. being from a watery grave; for, when taken into the boat, the lamp of life appeared extinguished, and the last spook of vitality seemed to have left his livid lip■. In this stale be was speedily put on board the Depot boy, when that prompt assistance rendered try Cul . Mainwaring in person, and by bis authority, and the judicious application of the means used un such occasions, ender the direction of fb. IM•necke, soon re-kindled the vital flame ; and, although be suffered greatly during rt turning animation, mud fur come time mites warde, be is maw iu a fair way of recovery.
