Several 11,4rn:ess were brought before. the Low. NIAYOJ, end, u::l4d at the eosruntneetnent of tlo flAsiss:;: s•essf , ;:, they were charged by. Mr. 6attuders Water-bailifT, ‘xish having takcn ‘vhife bait ir r siver Inauses. .The row raised list year by tht eelebrated Geeenwich and dis . mer, h:LS beets revived, red the tavern keepers of Lend(!: ha:ve given orders for ill - In:ease quantities of this far trite's! luxury. Saunders, it appeared, %vent down the rive: 1. few days ago in a strange boat, rowed by strong, wbts, arid tiny: 42(A the tishesteen hard at %rod, . _ sweepmg tnousands into iln.ir nulawful net.. S, suddenly ci:d the IVitter-tiailiff pounce upon them thin, they hail Hot time to get away, and several nel, were seized. The fishermen pleaded that it was impossible to avoid committing the olfe.nee, as it %vas called; that they did little or uo injury to the fishery, fur it mu. now proved beyond a doubt that Nvltite-bait was as distinct species, and not the spawn of larger fish, as bad beeir ignorantly' supposed by some. ,This was the opinion of all the . nrat lane philosophers. • - The LAD MAltott said, he fully believed flue white-bait was sui geiteris; bat. the existing law was clear and express against taking - ‘vbite-bait, and he could not avoid putting it had - execution.- Ncison, the Assistant Water-bailiff, and Mt men expressed an opinion Similar to that stated by hi- Lordship in. some.respects. They thought that the brood of large fish were very eiteitaively,destroyed by being taken, in the nets, 'were necessarily. made with very small meshes, in order to catch. white-bait. That destruction they said would not cease except-' those apprehended' tat 'the 'unlawful worse were punished. The fishermen all said, that Mr. Goldham, the clerk of Billingsgate-maatet, had paid the greatest attention to the subject. Ills knowledge was the most complete with respect to it, and the plan be had devised would fully relieve them, while it at the same time would materially serve the public, and in particular the gentlemen of the corporation.-0 laugh.)--There , was no reason why white-bait should not be ten times as plentiful as sprats, The LORD MAYOR desired .Mr. Goldham, who was present when the men were charged, to state what his plan was. Mr. Goidham said he Faust Premise that there could-.be, he thought, little doubt • that white-bait was, as had been stated lay his Lordship, gra generis. In the next place, stub •was the demand for it as a luxury from high places, and such was the poverty of those industriuus and struggling men, that it was imposSible for them to avoid taking i.. The tables of his Majesty, he could assure his Lordship, were supplied with white-bait, as - a befitting luxury, twice a week ; and the Royal Person joined with the ge neral-feeling in their - faVour.--(A hiugh.)—lt was highly desirable that those fushermen should not be permitted to go en in habitual and'demoralizung vio lation. of the law, and that the practice which could hot be prevented should be permitted under such r egulations as would render it innoxious. Ifie would suggest,"then, that the fishermen should at certain times—say during three hours each flay, and at certain places—he permitted t o tak e whitc-bait„ in the presence 'of one of the Water-bailiff's officers. It should be the duty of this officer who attended the fishing-boats, which should fish toOther in con venient clusters, to examine the boats, mid take care that all ;'aura; fish taken with the White-bait should be inintediata; thrown - o‘'erbcard. By this means the destinctioz; of the brood of other fish, - whicb was the chief, and in his opinion the only, valid &jet. , tion to the catching- of white-bait, might be pre vented. Where any fisherman did net take due care in this respect, he should be excluded from the permission given to - others. Tine LORD MAYOR highly approved of this plan, which the fishermen declared to be in every respect practicable, said he advised them to p e ti t i on t he Court of Aldermen to repeal the present law. Nelson, wino has grown grey in the service, de clared that the fact was, the oldest and most politic o f t he fishermen were friendly to those prohibitions, just as the poachiog interest was friendly to tine present game laws, because they kept ul> the price of the commodity by keeping it scarce and preventing too mat!) , competitors from working in the market: (A laugh.) As for the risk of fines and loss of nets, the public and the aril folks, Who would have these nice 'articles on their tables, paid for them by the additional price which was invariably de manded in consequence. So sure as Nelson had at good catch of net's; so sure the price of the white bait ran up.--(Laughter.) A meeting of fishermen took place some time ago, for the p ur p ose o f consi dering the propriety of petitioning the Court of Al dermea for the removal of these restrictions, when the reasons he had 'stated were urged by the gieatest politicians amongst the petitioners present, and ne gatived, it being held that th e white-bait-catching interest was promoted by those prohibitory laws which kept out interiopers. As it was, there were too 'i' of them, and more severe pena l t i es wou ld , in their opinion, be requisite, rather than otherwise, to keep down thei l ti o i l i t u , m l b v e h r o s. manifested a d ec id e d The LORD MA f ee li n g towards the poor fishermen, Was of opinion, notwithstanding the late failure before tine Court of Aldermen, that Mr. Goldhatn's plot ought to be adopted, and the habitual violation of the law, which, like the Game Laws' violation, led to more formidable infractions of the rules of society, be prevented. Ile reluctantly convicted the fishermen t o tine mitigatedpenalties,but he recommended them to petition the Court of Aldermen again immediately. We understand - his Lordship strongly advo rate, before the Court of Aillermen, the cause of the fishermen, as white-bait fishing is ai matter of deep interest to numbers of the corporation. ~, .... , . ---- :Z...' 7— ::, I . t < 1 e i 1 r • (4,9 I A /‹, `" - • •,-, • L,:,..•-V \I" i..-. 1.••• , ~., k , .. --- - , 1 _ _,. Pr. ICE '7 fL THE' CROPS IN DEVON AND SOMERSET. —The Want of genial showers is severely felt. It was very late before the barley was got in, and in most cases the blades have but just made their appearance, which wear a very unpromising aspect in consequence of the ab sence of rain, and the more forward crops are lean and hungry, and unless we are shortly favoured with rain we may calculate on an almost total failure ; beaus and peas are almost too gar gone to be recovered, the former are in full bloom and are scarcely a foot high ; the oats will share the fate of the barley, if it do not please Providence to send rain. Potatoes are just finished planting, and they also lack .moistur e .

Aftey they had done so, we came away again together' from the watch-hog-c, and words having continued, to pass between the prisoner and Perry, on account of the conduct of thelortuer to me, the prisoner struck Perry and 'hocked him down and fell upon him. I then Struck the prisoner and dragged him off Perry, and k.hey both.got up from,the ground. The prisoner 'then separated from us and walked away, leaving 'Perry and myself together lo . purne- our way home. As we had proceeded a link diteanee towards-home, Perry recollected that he kid .h.-ft - the key of our otlgiiiits in the pocket of his watch -coat, and we turned back again towards the watch-house to get it ; bat as we were proceeding, the prisoner iltrid 11 came in our Iyay,and said, that ai he saw we were going to the watch-house he would go there too. I told him that we were not going there upon any business about biro, but only to get our key,. that Perry had for gotten in his watch-coat pocket; and on my telling •him this, the prisoner once more went away and left its. When we got into Robert's-mews, close to the 'Was-house, I sat down againsi a wall- to rest my, self, as I had a severe fit of einighing come-on at the time, to which I am very subject, and Perry went forward to the watch-house to get the key:; while I was thus sitting against the wail waiting- the -return of Per;y, the prisoner 'Again canto suddenly up to me, and taking something which did not then see out of the pocket of a - ,Jacket which he wore, he suuck at me with it, aial - I instantly felt rayAelf wounded • in the side; the prisoner then clashed a large knife, which he drew out of my side, down upon the pavement, and exciaimed, your eyr3 ; there now, I have done for -you, and I shit!! be hanged for you." I immediately called " der" a;:-: loud as I was able, and having then fa;nted away, I knew nothing of what subsequently hap pened until I found myself • soineWhat recovered in the %watch-house, to which some *persons had con veyed me. John Perry, the watchman, with whom the pro seentrix lives, confirmed the whole of her statement, up to the time that he left her sitting against the wa!l in - Robert's-mews : he did not know, he mid, that any thing had happened to her until be met some men carrying her to the watch-hGuse as he was returning to her with - the key. • • John 'Owen, a hackney-eoachmau, who assisted in carrying the prosecturix to the watch-house, gave evidence as to his having seen the prisoner strike the woman, and afterwards throw a large knife down on the ground. James Jaincon,- one of the street-keepers of the Southampton trust, in the parish of St. Pancras,. deposed, that about nine o'clock on Sunday morning last, he went into the cell in Which the prisoner was confined -at- the' Watch-home, to search . him, aad while doing so the pri ,, oner said to hin); " Jameson, I have killed Jack's wife. - I was determined to he hung for her, and I shall be hung at Newgate on next Monday iveek, and I wish you would come and see me hung, as I have. a.keepsaketo give you then.". The prisone,r further said he had had a grudge against the prosecuirix, because sire had been the cause of pr t iventing his marriage with a young Won)An to Whom he %vas very much attached.

'Fite fact is, Mrs. Perry did not prevent our marriage; so I could not have said that I owed her any grudge: I had no grudge to Mrs. Perry, and never offended her in tnylife be fore, although . she has often abused me. Mrs. Perry—Ob, you unfortunate young man, I orgive you from the bottom of my heart, and I !mope God may forgive you. Sir G. FARRANT—h is my duty to commit you o Newgate o,n the evidence that has been taken. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial on the capital Charge, and a he was quitting the dice in custody of the gaoler to be locked up, we regretted to observe him betray a degree of levity painful to Witness in a person placed in the awful situation in which he stands ; for as be proceeded through the passage to the lock-up room whistled aloud seemingly with the utmost indifference ; he is a very fine-looking young man, about 27 ycars of age, and nearly six feet in height, with an extremely good-natured countenance, and a very regular set of features, by no means expressive of ferocity or any cruelty of disposition. It appeared the prisoner contrived to steal the knife the night before he committed the act, from a bineher with whom he was sitting in company, but he said that he took it for a " link," and not with any evil design. DESTRUCTIVE K ISSING.—CICERO speaks of a bronze statue of Hercules which had the features worn away by thc frequent osculations of the devout. Several instances of the same kind have occurred in modern times. The face of a figure of the SAVIOU a among the bronze bas relefi which adorn the Caa. Santa, at Loretto; has in this way been quite kissed away. The foot of the famous statue of St. PETER, in the Vatican, has also lost much of its metal by the continua! application of the lips and foreheads of votaries; and it has been found necessary to protect the foot of the statue of the SAVIOUR by :MICHAEL ANC FLU in the 3iiaerva from similar injury hy a brass buskin.

Thomas Elms was the first witness examined, and his testimony was as follows :,--Ott the evening of the 3d of Junel was in a field near Turnbam green. . I heard a queer sort of noise—a faint • cry. I went towards the spot whence it seemed to pro ceed. I saw a bit of flannel under some Clay. and grass, and I found it to be a child. I left a' young matt who was with me in .care of it while I went to fetch some one to inquire into, the matter. Th e child was lying on• its back; its face quite •black. The blackness.didnot proceed from dirt, but ap parently from strangulation. There was dirt, how ever, nit the face. 1 went for Mr. Williamson, the constable. of Acton. He: took up the- chill and carried it hoMelo his own house. Cross-examined—The child is now alive and well. John IVilliamson—l remember the day in tiou. A piece of black ribbon wtvi tied tightly round the neck of the child. The moment the ribbon was cut the child began to breathe freely, and in an hour or two its colour improved. The infant appeared to be about three weeks old. I took the pristmer into custody. I saw her on the 6th of 'June. It was about La-past eight in the evening. - I met her near Hammersmith, in company with a young man. i n consequence of previous information I took her into custody. On the morning after her arrest the pri soner sent for me, and said she wished to speak to me concerning her baby. I called in Barney, to be pre sent while she spoke. She said she left her. child in the ditch.. I inquired how she could be guilty of such cruelty. She replied that she did so in the hope of some ..humane person finding • it. I men tioned the string tied about the meek. She replied, " That was IQ not to strattgle it, but to hide a sore," or "cure a sore," I don't know which. The following day she saw the child, and kissed it very affectionately, and went off into very strung hysterics. It just happen e d that as th e witness.was deliver ing this part of his testimony the prisoner dropped On the floor in violent convulSions ; she struggled excessively, and was, with much difficulty, removed into the open air.

The complainant, a decent looking middle-aged woman, who appeared in a state of great exhaustion, from as copious loss of blood, being sworn, gave her evidence thus :—" name is Leah Goddin ; I reside at No. 5, Deer's-place, Somers -town. I live there with a man named John Perry, who is one of the watchmen of St.. Pancras parish. I have lived with . Perry for upwards of six years; but although I go by his name, I have never been married to him : we were out-asked at Lam beth Church, with an intention of beim ' , mari ied, bu t the ceremony never was performed. fhave be en . i n the habit o f going every morning to meet Perry, as he leaves off his duty as as watchman, and of coming home with - him. On Sunday . morning last, about six o'clock, I went as usual to meet him, and saw him the Hampstead road walking with the prisoner, who is also one of the watclunen of St. Pancras parish, and whom I had known very well before.

Heitz, • tern of account most p ro p er to be a d opted . in each department must d e p en d, nt lac t sure, upon the nature, whether s:niple or coin picx ()fits pecuniary transaction s , w e were never theless sensible that there were certain fixed principles, without which no sv:-.tetn could b e deemed solid and effectual ; triat these indis pensable qualities, apPlicable to the accorna :s o f every department, were acattertu, and perspicuity; in addition to which, w.e cot: - sidered that, in the various publie accounts, embracing the large receipt and expenditure of an extensive Government, it was no less neces sary' that there should exist a general nnifi)cinity of system, a ,fizeifity 01 . examination, and a ready means ofaffbrding iqfirmatioa on cyci y transaction the accounts involved. To the luerbantile stern of account, to which our attention is particularly drawn, we attach the highest value. As a science it cornea to us with the, powerful_ recommendation, not only of long experience. but of high authority ; those engaged in tba active pursuits of life, and _of thOae: Who hay:* surveyed its concerns with the eye of Oily sophy. It is the declared sentiment or Ofl `-A the most profound observers of human n'i;:irs. " that the counting-house of an accomplished merchant is a school of method, where the great, science may be learned of ranging particulars under generals, of bringing the difFerent parts of a transaction together, and of showinz at one view a long series of dealing and exchange.-..- Let no man (continues' Dr. Johnson) "venture into large business while he is ignorant •cif the method -of regulating hooks ; never let' him imagine that any degree of 'natural abilities gill enable him to supply this, deficiency, or pre serve a multiplicity of affairs from inextricable confusion.' • The Italian mode of book-keeping by doubig entry . affords, unquestionably, valuable facilities for unravelling and elucidating complex or intri cate accounts ; and, although' it may not be ad visable to employ it in its exact mercantile form, but in a manner (as will bet caller be explained ) more immediately suited to the business and du ties of the offices of Government, we are never theless satisfied that no person, without a know ledge of its principles, cats be deemed a good and perfect accountant. With this conviction of its :advantages af folding a clear view, and in furnishing a founda tion for every correct system of book-keeping, we think the knowledge of it should be twist tiered an indispensable qualification of every can• didate fur a situation in the offices of account in the great departments of Government. We think it right to point out one differenoi which exists in the accounts of Government asp compared with those. of a merchant. A merchant widers his account, of reeeipts and disbursemen4s,,,during any year, as belonging to that year; but the accounts of Government are frequently wanted, as far as they can be_pre pared, in twoshapes: Ist,' As an account of re ceipt and . expenditure within th e ' y ear , f or Al te I purpose of striking a balance at the end of the period, as an account current; and, 2dly, Ax an account of the receipt and expenditure for tir belonging to, a particuhr year, for the purpers of comparing the expenditure with the estimate for the same year. . . . In looking to an accordance in the public ac counts, a difficulty •at the outset immediately presents itself; owing to the different periods at which each department considers the years. as terminating. : in the Exchequer accounts, the Revenue accounts, and the Consolidated Final ,account, the. old style is observed, and the : year 1 ends on the sth of January ; in the Irnv- _ .. ~ .. ac counts the new style is nearly, though . not.. ex actly', adopted, and the year terminates on the 24th of December .; and 'in the Navy and Ord nance accounts, the year is reckoned from the Ist ofjanuary to the 31st of December. The accounts of each department so prepared may be .perfectly -correct in themselves, but for the purpose of a general accordance, and. for combining them in one complete account, it is de sirable that they should all begin and end at the same tune. . , . . . The payment of seamen's wages, on ship; books, is a branch of the naval 'expenditure, which appears to have been always considered as involved in considerable difficulty. Inconveniences- of -the most serious kind grew out of this.systetn. The first was, that the Treasurer usually,.con tinued during the time to hold a large balance of the public money in his hands. The second was of a more extraordinary kind. It is observed in the Third Report of the Commissiotters on Public Accounts in 1781, • that it was possible for a Treasurer of the Navy, retiring from ace in ill-humour, to stop the payment for eight mouths, or more, of teainen unpaid en the numerous volumes of ships' hooks.- open at the several ports in his treasurership. And an in stance is recorded, in the case of Sir Joint litn,h out, when this actually took place. The payment of the wages to a ship's cre - iv is (now) made on board of ship, and is completed in respect to those present, on the .seine day ; but the'names of other seamen are often on the .books, who have quitted the . ship, either by leave, by transfer, or on account of sickness, and who may subsequently prefer their claims for wages on the same book, which is kept open -for that purpose. . • . • . . .. As connected with the Naval ILxpenditure, it was our duty to make the account of Greenwich Hospital a part of our report, and at an early pe riod of our proceedings we • applied for returns from that department, &c. We learned, however, that in consequence 01 the deranged state in which Mr. Austen had left the books, we could not receive for some time the returns we desired; and so late as the 15th December we were informed that arrangements for the future system of conducting the business of the Hospital were not finally settled. The first and most material want is a syste matic arrangement of the general accounts, not in exact conformity with the practice of mer chants, or of other individuals employed, iu -the various pursuits of private life, which differ iii many essential points from the business of the departments, but specially devised for - the use of the public offices. The principles upon which accounts ought to be regulated are, how ever, in all cases the same. Simplicity of ar rangement, and the exclusion of every thing un necessary, or cakulateil to prmitree mystefy -and
