sass Parolf. Miss Paton war born at Edinburgh in October 1801. Her father, who is a person of distinguished professional maisteace, and much devoted to the line site. discovered In his daughter, even whys a child, the most singular musical talent. When sole two years old, she could name any tone or smai.tont on hearing it mended ; which was fre ineptly ascertained by musical professors at the time. This was heat dtocovered in a curious way by her calling out to her mother in the night, when the watchman called the hear—" That is 13 flat," which was immediately found to be true. When four yeses of age, she played the pianmforte and a small beep, and . elms sang not only with some tee. ratios, but with • sort of style peculiar to hrtsell. Before her fifth year, she extemporised with ear prising ability on the pianoforte. When eight Teas of ugh she gave six public concerto in Edin burgh in one season. where she played the piano forte sod harp, ming, and recited " Alexander's feat," " Ode to the Passions." and ether principal pieces. Her performances in those various departments were so remediable, as to pro cure fashionable and everflowiag audiences on every occasion. When she was abinst time years and a half old, her father was induced, by promisee. of powerful patronage, both in his ewe pmfessiun and that of his daughter, from semoirtetthe Scotch nobility, and particularly her Greer the late Duchess of Gordon, titmouse his family to I.ondon. Miss Paton then performed ut the concerts of the nobility, and had ao 'nasal public benefit, the last of which was at tended by a flamer's* and brilliant assembly, in chiding Count Mastiff, and other distinguished per sonages. Miss Paton'' grandmother was bout • mssicisa ; she lived in the village of Strsihbogie, Aso called Dandy, in A besdeeashire. She played the violist, sod, although never professional. her fain* mss so great, the the Duke of Cumberland, on his way to CullOrlen field, went, with some of his officers and ninsiciano, to hear her. His !loyal Highness mid Isis company were so surprised and delighted with her performance, especially of Scotch airs, that he presented her with a superb Ralf of silk tartan. This NON scarf has been pre served almost unworn, fur nearly • century, until another distruguialied patinsiage, viz. the Heiman Plstaff, bonneted Miss Paton with a similar present of Indult manufacture.

Sissantoods, of Ilulborits.hill, silversmith, fo► entice ▪ dog on Lewis Hart, by means of which he •a, severely bitten. The este for the proseculiou was stated to the Jury by Mrs ALLEY, who called the following witnesses. Lewis Had examined—l live in Duke -street, Aldguite, with my father, who keeps a euuk'a ,bor. Igo out with pens and peacils for rale. Oit t 11.• Stl of Jane I was coining from Holborn-hill to wards Fleet-market, when yoong Simmouds (thr D. fetichist) hit me over the head auk a hag, sate:;;, " You Jew thief, what have you been otraiii there ?" I had a parcel of pens on niy shoulder. I replied, "That is no concern of yiniro." A bay who was passing ,by said to him, " What ate yon insulting that boy for I he mid nothing to you. Don't let me are you touch him again." On n la t h the Defendant replied, " I'll shew you that I can serve both you and him worse," and pointing nil!, his band, he said to a dog who was statidnig by him, •' Fetch him," touching. me at the same time ; the dog immediately flew at me, dragged me the ;pound, and bit a piece out of my belly. I screamed, and the murket.people came to my as. 'admire. Defendant then said, " Now fetch the other," pointing to the other boy, and the dog im. mediately jumped at him, and lore the at off his head, mid nearly tore it to pieces. I teas thin taken to the Defendant's father to show what had beet, done to me by the dog. A chair was requested for me, but he said, " Pooh ! pooh ! take him away, have children enough of my own," and eilded, " I keep that dog as a protection fur my children." I was afterwards put iu a coach and oaken home, and a surgeon sent for. Cross-examined by Mr. Pidt.t.irs.—The other boy's name is Samuels; I was nut acquainted with him before; I did not pinch the Defendant nor square in his face; I was carried to Mr. Simmonds' shop; it is at the top of Holborn-hill. The Prosecutor appeared in delicate health, and small of his age, but gave his testimony with re markable clearness and precision._ _ _ J. Samuels sworn audexamined.—l am fourteen years of age ; 1 was coming by Fleet-market on the 3d June, sod saw the Defendant hit the Prose cutor over the bead with a bag. I heard hits sly, " Yes Jew thief, what have you been stealing there ?" The other replied, " What concern is that of jour's ?" I said to him, " Why can't you leave that boy alone ? don't you touch him again." Ile said, " Don't you be saucy, or I'll serve him and you worse." He then said to the dug, which was close by, " Fetch him," and the dog flew on hint and lan him, palling him on the ground, he hal looed out and all the people came about hon. Ile then said, " Fetch hint." and the dog jumped ar me and tore of my hat. Neither of us had af fronted him in the least. The people came about, and a man carried him away to the boy'. father. Cross-examined by Air. PUeLLIPS. —! never Ilso Hart before ; 1 was not eating currants with him. Wm. Nankerville, who keeps a stall in Fleet market, stated, that as lie was fetching some brrr from the public-house he saw the boy setting the dog at the oilier. He saw the dog far; eii ou I but being called away to attend his business, he did not see any farther. Nathan Coiostadt, the surgeon who attended tla. Prosecutor. stated, that one wound was on the groin an inch in leugth and half an inch to depth. There were also two places on the abdomen with marks of teeth; be had requested she lad's father to go and fetch the deg that he might examine him; but it was refused to be sent. Fie scut a second time with his card, and requested that the dog might be sent, but it was refused. and its consequence he was obliged to uoe couotte to t 1..• sores. The boy suffered a great dral of pain, ass.) he attended him fur three weeks. If Ilse dog !rid been seat, the boy would have been well in half the time. Hart, the father of the Prosecutor, WIN next ei •mined, and he proved having beets twice fur the dog, which woe refts►ed. Mr. Sousnousis (ilse fa ther of the Defend:lm) told him tlt,st the do wag a ferocious dog, and if he spoke loud in the shop the dog would fly at him. On his cross-examination he said, that Mr. Sim moods said any body might examine the dog their ; he was then playing with the children, and nothing *as the metier with him. Mr. C. Plitt.t.tes addressed the Jury for the De fendant, and stated that he should tall %guru...sae, who would completely contradict the story they had heard. After commenting at some lengih on th e 'improbability of that story, he procerded to call his witnesses,. Joseph Griffiths, who lived with • fruiterer in Fleet market at the time the transaction took place, gave his account of it, which differtd in many re.. specie from that given by the witnearce for the pro secution, bet either from natural rtupielity or knavery, he prevaricated so strongly, and contra dicted hurarelf so glaringly. that the Recorder mot, than once reminded hnu of the discoidant vtatt ment he had made. and asked him by which would abide. William Killick, who keeps a fruit-stall in the market, swore that Hart, the Prosecutor, awl the witness, Samuels, had been together, and bought souse currants at Itis shill, and that he had fie quently seen them togrtlirr. John Lockinton Suninends, the father 'of the Defendant was examined. He stated that lie now keeps u silversmith's shop, though he lc rmerly kept a pawnbroker's opposite where he now Itsts.
