It turned out that Kitchen had invi'ed the other prisoners to have a "jollification" with him ;n the absence of his Captain, and sad havoc they had made in the "old boy's" stores. In the course of investigation, a more serious charge appeared 4gainst Kitchen, who had given a quantity ol brandy, canvass, and other articles belonging to the ship, to Gray, Thompson, and Duggin. Mr. BALLANTINE said, it was something novel to hear of such boys drinking until they were in toxicated. He discharged Craven and Sheatn, who had not added dishonesty to their offence, and sen tenced Kitchen to two months' imprisonment and hard labour ; and Gray, Thompson, and Duggin ro fourteen days' imprisonment in the House of Correction.

Mr. Davis, the defendant's late master, had fre quently seen a servant in livery call to see Sarah. He used to go down to the ki chen and remain some time. Sir V. ROE —How long is it since you have seen this W,ll , am Bale ? Sarah—l have not seen him J these 18 months. The defendant declared that this could not be true, for be was positive he saw the man go down the kitchen stairs in January last, a short time be fore he left the service of Mr. Davis. S +rah again repeated that she had not seen Bale for the last 18 months, and that she dictated a let ter, winch the defendant wrote for her, forbidding him the house.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 7. THANES POLICE. Captain Robert Ellis, master of the Dino, a trading vessel from Zante, was charged with assaulting Mr. R. F. Burnaby, one of the Trinity.huuse branch pilots. THE KING V. ACLAND. The defendant (James Acland) moved in person for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial had. This was a criminal information, filed by leave of the Court, at the instance of Mr. Bolton, an Alder man of the town of Hull, for a libel on that gentle man, who was one of the trustees of a charity at Hull, charging him with pensioning his daughter on the funds of that charity. The case was tried at ihej laq assizes at Yoik, before Mr. Justice Jatr4 Psrke, when the defendant was found guilty. The preset application was made on two grounds—first, that the Learned Judge had refused to receive evi dence of the truth of the libel; and, secondly, had received the evidence of Mr. Bolton's trustee, which ought to have been rejected. The defendant made a very lung address to the Court in support of his motion.—Rule refused. All parties a:mut to Tender are particularly desired to read attentively the Conditions of the Contracts, which may he seen at this Office, or on application to the Cap tains superintendent of the Victualling Establishments at Deptford, Portsmou h, and Plymouth ; the Agent for the Victualling at Haulbowline; the Victualling S'oeekeepers at Deal and Sheerness; the Secretary to the Postmaster- General at Dublin; or to the Collectors of his Majesty's custom s at each of the other places.

A SPLENDID VIEW of this beautifu SEAT of the late Mr. BALLANTINE said, it appeared that no great liarm had been done on either side, and allowed the parties to retire and settle the matter. The pilot ultimately accepted of a sovereign and his expenses as compensation. Daniel Lyons, a Lambeth fi-herman's apprentice, one of the lads implicated in the murder of Mr. Wil kinson on the river, was charged with stealing a tar paulin, and some rope and tackle, from the pleasure boat of a gentleman named Cowden, off Lambeth. The pris)ner was starving, found the property and =old it to get a bit of bread. Mr. Mitchell (an inspector of the Thames•police) said the prisoner procured a situation at a public house, after his discharge from Newgate, but he r , bbed his master extensively, and was sent about his business.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. (Late Colburn and Bentley.) COURT. OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7, WILLIAMSON V. DANES. This was an action of assumpsit against a married woman. Siie pleaded her coverture, to which plea the plaintiff replied that the defendant's husband had been declared a bankrupt, and outlawed under the commission; and that he had been abroad to avoid surrendering. To this replication the de fendant demurred. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS, in support of the demurrer, wa, stopt by the Court. Mr. S . rgeant TADDY in support of the replication, voted a number of authorities to show that a wo man whose husband has been transported, either fir fe or a shorter term, is restored to her rights and lib nits as a fence sole; consequently in the present rase, the hu , b.itid having committed a felony under e bankrupt laws, and left the realm, and thereby placed himself substantially in the same situation as a person actually transported for fel •ny, the wife must be taken to be restored to her liabilities as a fence sole, and therefore liable in the present action notwithstanding her coverture. The COURT were unanimously of opinion that the replication was bad in form and substance.— Judgment fur the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant BomPAs, after the question of la w was decided, stated that, in point of fact, the hus band in this case had paid 20s. in the pound, and otyained an order for suspending the commission. The COURT observed, that it would be as well if he paid this debt, as well as the others. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UIL 1) HALL. Yesterday James Evans was brought before Mr. Alderman KELLY for re-examination, charged with itidecen , ly exposing himself to several girls belong ing to Sr. Er helburga Charity-,hoot, Bishop.gate. Mr. Greenaway, the treasurer of the school, had learned that the prisoner was to be charged with corrupting the minds of the girls of five oilier schools in the vicinity of Bishopsgate, but he begged that the proceedings of that day should be confined to his original charge, in proof of which he should call two other girls, in addition to the two who were heard at the first examination. Swan Garrett and Martha Wood were ques tioned at some length, but their evidence did not establish an asqiult, although it showed gross mis conduct on the part of the prisoner, who made no defence. In reply to questions from Mr. Alderman KELLY, the prisoner had been a city coal -meter, and was in receipt of a pension by way of compensation. He was now a clerk in the employ of Mr. Sheppard, of Mark-lane, and resided in Manor-row, Rotherhithe. Mr. Alderman KELLY said, the prisoner's con duct was so disgusting he could not dwell on it. He should have gloried in sending him to trial, so that he might meet a more severe punishment than a Magistrate could summarily inflict ; but his great anxiety was for the children, and he knew they could not be examined before the Grand Jury and Petty J ury w i thout renewing and impressing on their . memori es t h at which it was better they should forget as soon as possible. He therefore committed him, for hard labour on the tread-mill, for three months as a rogu e an d vaga b ond. The prisoner shed some tears of shame or remorse. IVilliam Ingram, a fishmonger in Clare-market, attended on summons to answer a charge of impro per driving, preferred by Thomas Mellish, Esq. Mr. Alderman KELLY fined the defendant 20s. and costs. B 0 TV- STREET. Yesterday John Ayles, a young man about nine teen years of age, was charged with being the father of a male child, of which Sarah Evans, a young Welchwoman, was the mother. The charge was preferred by the vestry clerk of St. Paul's, Covent girden, in order that the child might not become chargeable to that par sh. Sarah Evans was delivered of the infant which she then had in her arms on the 23J of September last, and John Ayles,now present, was the true and only father. 'the defendant never had any intercourse with .. the young wom an f urt h er t h an h i s having li ve d in the same house with her, when she was in the ser vice of Mr. Davis, the hatter, of York -street, Covent garden, with whom he lived as shopman, up to Ja nuary last. Sir F. ROE told Lim that unless he could pro duce evidence to prove that he was not the father of the child, his bare assertion was of no avail, as opposed to the solemn oath of the young woman. The defendant then said, that one evening in January last, while his master, Mr. Davis, was en gaged with company in the parlour, the door hap pening to be a-jar, he saw a livery servant, whose name was William Bale, go down the kitchen stairs. He taxed Sarah with the circu , nstance, and she con fessed that the man was her sweetheart, and that she was then with child by him. Sarah positively denied that she had ever said so, and again declared that no other person but the de fendant was theTa - ther of her child. She admitted that she knew William Bale, and that he used to visit her occasionally when she lived in the service of Mr. Da vis. liiendant—Had you not a child by him before ,his was born ? Sarah—That has nothing to do Hr. HALLS observed that this statement of Mr, Davis was in direct contradiction to the evidence of the young woman, who declared, that she had not seen Bale for 18 months. Sir F. ROE a'.ked Sarah, where she became ac quainted with Wiiliam Bale. She replied, that they lived together in the same family, at Clapham-rise. Sir F. ROE—How long did you live there ? Sarah—For nine months. Sir F. ROE—What was the name of the gentle man in whose service you lived ? The young woman, after a long pause, did not recollect the name. Sir F. ROE—And yet you lived for nine months in the family ! The Magistrate then observed, that the evidence in support of the charge was of that description, that he did not feel himself called upon to make an order on the defendant, without further inquiry. Charges of this description were easily made, but unless they were supported by something like satisfactory evidence, no man would be secure from the liability of having a child fathered upon him. The Vestry Clerk had no desire to press for the order, if the Magistrates were not satisfied that the defendant was the father of the child. He suggested that the case should stand over for a week, with a view to the production of further evidence both on the part of the defendant and the parish. This suggestion was immediately adopted, and the case was ordered to stand over accordingly, and that Bale, the servant, should be summoned to attend the re-hearing. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday a person named Finney was charged with an unprovoked and desperate assault on Mr. David Robertson, of King , gate-street, Holborn, on the 2Gth ult., by knocking ban down and falling upon him, whereby the complainant's leg was broken. Mr. ROGERS, after remarking on the brutality of the defend dm's conduct, sentenced him to pay a fine of 51, and to be imprisoned two months in the House of Correction in default of payment. Edward Howell and James Howell were placed at the bar, the first-mentioned charged with stealing, and the latter with receiving, seven dinner knives and forks, six dessert knives, and one carving knife and fork, the property of Mr. Smith, of the Angel, Islington.—Both prisoners were fully committed. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, Susan Cambourn, a very pretty mo dent-looking young femme, and Thomas Brown, her sweetheart, mud to whom it appears she was to have been married in a short time, were placed within the felon's bat, the former charged with robbing her master, a gentlemen residing in Poplar, of wine glasses, table linen, tea, and various other articles of property ; and the latter for receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. It appeared that the female prisoner, who had not been quite a week in her situation, commenced all extensive system of plunder; and on the preceding evening a box of ti,rs, in which she had packed half a dozen of wine, wine glasses, and other property, was stopped just as she was about to have it taken to the lodg ings of her lover. She was remanded, and her sweetheart, on his receiving an excellent character, discharged. Q UEEN- S QUARE. George Jarvis was finall, examined, charged with assaulting and robbing Mr. Carr, of No. 8, New Cur, Lambeth, between 11 and 12 o'clock at night, near the Elephant and Castle in the Kent-road. A fellow named James Preston was now brought up, charged by the constable with being the person that threw the stone at him, which caused the escape of one of the prisoners. Tr•e Magis'rates committed Jarvis for trial for the robbery, and fined Preston 51. for the assault on the constable. In default of payment he was committed for two months to the House of Co.rection. WORSHIP- STREET. Yesterday two fellows, named John Adams and Thomas Lovel, were brought up for final examina tion, charged with savagely assaulting and attempt ing to violate the person of Alice Payne, a married woman, about 43 years of age. The a , aault was committed on Friday evening last, and the poor woman had since been in the hospital, in consequence of the very serious injury ahe had sustained, but yesterday she was brought to the office in a coach to give her evidence. It appeared that the complainant was standing in the court in which she resides, and the prisoners who occupy a room on the first floor of the next house, having ascertained by inquiry that her husband was not at home, invited her into their place to rake something to drink. She accordingly went to their room arid had a glass of gin, and they immediately afterwards began to take liberties with her. She resisted, and in the struggle with them was struck upon the head by, she believed, the younger pri soner, Lovel, after which she became unconscious of what took place. The whole transaction, it ap peared, Occupied but a short time, and some of the neighbours, who were alarmed by the outcry, found the poor woman covered with blood, from an exten sive wound at the back of the head. Heads, a parish constable, produced a window-sash which had been dashed from the prisoners' room into the court, and also a woman's cap, drenched with blood, which he had found upon their bed. The prisoners declared that they never struck or ill-used the prosecutrix, and said that she cut her head herself by dashing it through the window. They were required to find bail for their appear ance at the Se-,sions, and being unable to do so, were committed. MARLB OR 0 UGH-STREET. Mr. David Evans appeared to answer an infor mation against Mr. Peter Ware, landlord of the Nag's-head public-house, Carnaby-street, for suffer ing card-playing and bagatelle in his house. Mr. DYER would take into consideration the fact of his being a very young landlord, and only fine him 40s. in place of .51., which he had fully intended. A PAIR OF PRIGS.—A brace of lads, the eldest not more than fifteen, were charged with having aided and abetted each other in stealing a coalsack One of the boys had been seen to take the sack and run off, followed by the other one, who had ap parently planned the affair. MVy,” said h e ," J ac k E vans r DYER C ail e d upon t h e eldest for hi s defence. (the youngest pri soner) and I vas a coaling along Tottomy-court road, ven he says to me, say, Bill, I'm blowed if The child was accompanied by her father, a for mal old personage, attired in a snuff-brown body coat, with gaiters and wig to match. Mr. Turner, having made a'low bow, clapped on a pair of green spectacles, pulled out a quantity of papers, advanced to the Bench, and said, " Please your Worship, I appear as the legal ad wiser of my d trter. I charge Mrs. Mary Young with having been guilty of a serious of assaults on her, the me morandums of %%hich I shall now proceed to read The first beginning of the commencement of the outrages is, according to my memorandum, on the 20th of October, when she knocked my darter's head against the corner of the table designedly for the purpose. The second assault was on the Wed. nesday following, when she filled my darter's shoes with dirty water. The third assault took pl'ce on the 2d November, my wife's washing-day, when— Mr. CONANT —St op, you must confine yourself to the assault committed on the day specified in the warrant. Mr. Turner—Oh dear, no I If this case was in his Majesty's Court of King's Bench I might prove five hundred assaults if I pleased. Mr. CONANT—WeII, you know the law, if it is so, better than I do. At all events you must stand back, and let the girl give evidence herself. Mr. Turner pulled off his spectacles, and pocketed his papers in a huff, remarking, if he was before the Judges in the Court of King's Bench, they would hear every syllable he had to say. The Magistrates at length elicited, from hearing both sides, that the defendant was landlady to M.. Turner, and had lately distrained for five weeks' a- rears of rent, amounting to 1.55. " Yes, your Worship," said Mr. Turner, " she 'strained on my goods, and I 'strained on her back in the Court of King's Bench." " 1 suppose you mean you replevied ?" said Mr. CONANT.—" I did so; and before I have done with her," said Mr. Turner, turning round with a threat ening look to the defendant," I'll put the laws on her before the Lord Chancellor." Evidence having been brought forward to show that Mrs. Young did act in the mariner described, Mr. CONANT directed that she should find one good bail to answer any charge at the en , uing Sessions. A GOOD-NATURED WlFE.—Andretv Morris, a man advanced in life, whose face showed he had been in some hard service, was turned into the dock by a private soldier and a middle-aged woman, when the following conversation ensued:— Mr. CONANT—What is this man charged with ? Soldier—He was g ven into my charge just now. Mr. CONANT—What for? Soldier—As a de•errer. Mr. CONANT—By whom was he given into your custody? Soldier—By this woman. She was leaning on his arm; but when I approached she let go, and gave him into my custody. Woman—l charge him with having deserted from his regiment. Mr. CONANT—What do you know of the pri soner ? Wornati—Know of him ? Why, he's my husband ! " Husband !" ejaculated the worthy Magistrate. " What ! do you charge your own husband ?" Wo man—Yes, my lawful husband. The prisoner denied that he was a deserter. The wife declared that he was, but did not know the regiment he had belonged to. Mr. CONANT said that it was a very singular charge for a woman to make against her husband. He could not possibly detain him on her evidence. He was therefore discharged. UNION- H ALL. Yesterday a tall elderly woman, named Dickin• son, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged with assaulting a gentleman on the Southwark-bridge. The complainant, on passing over the bridge on the preceding night, was accosted by the defendant, wt.°, in consequence of his refusal to accompany her, immediately seized the tails of his coat, and pulling them asunder rent the garment up to the collar. There was no policeman on the bridge at the time, and it was represented to the Magistrates that gentlemen were frequently much annoyed and exposed to abuse and vile language from improper females, who made the bridge a kind of rendezvous every night. Mr. CHAMBERS expressed considerable surprise that the bridge was not properly watched, as well as the roads on either side. Inspector Hock said that the superintendent of the division to which he belonged gave directions that the bridge should be patrolled at night; but the men were warned off by Mr. Brown, the city marshal!, who disputed the right of the metropo litan police to act on the bridge, and the result was that the city police only patrolled from the Middle sex side to the centre arch, leaving the south side from thence to the toll-house unprotected. Mr. PAINTER, the Magistrate, who is one of the director, of the bridge in question, expressed very great surprise at the information just given by the inspector. The defendant was committed for a month to Brixton. MIDNIGHT REVELS—HIGH LIFE BELOW DECK.— Yesterday six sailor boys, be , ween the ages of 12 and 16, named Kitehin, Craven, Gray, Thompson Dzeggin, and Shearn, were charged under the fol lowing circumstances :—On Tuesday night, at 12 o'clock, R owe , a watchman, was passing the ship Adrian, in the Dock Basin, when he heard the sounds of revelry proceeding from below. He got on deck, but found all the hatches snugly fastened. On looking through the crevices, he saw lights in the forecastle, and such a jovial scene was going on as really made his mouth water. The six pi Bone's were seated, with a roaring fire and plenty of lights, while the table literally groaned under bottles of brandy, rum, wine, and porter, with drinking glasses of no small dimensions. One of them was singing " Old King Cole was a merry old soul," while the others, who were each provided with a pipe (from which, however, they had suffered the tobacco to fall out, in the heig!it of their enjoyment), were drinking, laughing, and nodding to one another. The watchman called another officer to him ; aim t was truly laughable to behold the prisoners, who heard the unwelcome call—their countenances changing, in a moment from the picture of hi larity to the most woe-begone fright. For a moment Mr. BALLANTINE said, the prisoner's narrow escape from the gallows had had no effect, and he sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in Brixton gaol. FAMINE IN ANGUILLA. The following account of a dreadful famine in Anguilla, a small island, and a dependency of St. Christopher's r ppears in a Barbadoes paper:— " The sympathies of this community have never been more suddenly or more warmly called into action than by the intelligence first announced from the pulpit at the ca. thedral on Sunday last. The Lord Bishop, in a mat ner whico reflects honour on his benevolent and philantbrop c mind, announced to the large congregation which ha as sembled for the holy exercises of the Sabbath, that our fel low-colonists in Anguilla were suffering the dreadful Ili series of famine, and were dying from its effects. Tt e int4ination has reached us in private letters, there being no newspaper at the afflicted spot. We certainly are surpri-.(1 that in the neighbouring islands of St. Cinistepher nd Antigua the public journals du not so much as allude to the subject. We should therefore doubt the correctness of the reports received here, had we not ourselves sera the letters, and been satisfied that they came from a source of undoubted veracity. It is much to be regretted that 'he extract (tom the first letter, dated June 29, was not made public the moment it was received. It is as follows : " We have not had coffee, c.ndles, starch (arrow loot) and many other necessaries for a lung time, but ex pect a reitifoicernent of money to-morrow. Should I be disappointed, Idu not know bow I shall make out, for I am now crediting bread, and can get nothing else, except meat on Saturdays. for there is not a pint of grain or a pot 'toe to be obtained in the island; indeed the people are on the bank of starvation. There has been such drought, so mach so as to produce a salt crop, which it is expected will be collected next month, if there be any persons alive to reap it.' The second letter, dated August 7, gives a more la mentable account of the prevailing misery. The writer says, "• I come now to the state of things amongst us. I never saw before the present time distress so great, so ex tensive, and so apparently irremediable as exists in this place at present, and is likely to continue for some long time. Poverty pervades the whole country, and the ex treme of it, actual stirvation, has carri,cl many a poor suf ferer, after a scene of suffering, to a premature grave. This day accounts came in, through authentic sources, that four individuals had perished for want of fail. Hitherto children and the aged and infirm, have chiefly suffered. It is however, not the young, the b gear, or the infirm alone who feel the pressure of want, but the industrious and healthy, and they keep up longer, but how lung many wiil be able to support thi it present sufferings remains to be sesn. I act as clerk and sexton (residing near ti c churchyard, &c.), and I apprehend the call for a grave from every individual that I see approaching. The calls on private charity are too extensive to be complied with. My house from sunrise to sunset is beset with applicants, hom (quite doing violence to my feelings) I am now obliged to dismiss unaided. The children cannot attend the schools; such of them as I could relieve I have, but I apprehend almost the same suffering for myselt it an op portunity does nut offer for St. Christopher shortly, and there is no likelihood of it during the hurricane season. The cause of this suffering ie the severe drought we have experienced, 'he high price of provisions at St. Bartholo mew's, the want of credit here, and there being generally no surplus of provisions from year to year, as at thrhadoes. The three most industrious planters are obliged to pur chase provisions at St. Bartholomew's, which is an unusual thing for Colonel Lake and his brother to do. A meeting of the Council was held to-day, and they have petitioned the Governor of St. Christopher's to present their petition to Government to giant relief ; their representative in the Assembly also is requested to use his endeavours to give them immediate aid, but it is ' begged from the beggar,' for the St. Christopher commun:ty, I believe, are very much embarrassed. For some time past an emigration from this to St. Thomas's and to St. Croix has been going on. The President and family have left us, as also his brother and family, and many others. Indeed, the island craft have been for several months now eogaged in taking lime, which gives no profit, and passengers, amounting to 25 and 30 at a time, to the last-mentiozied places ; yet th ose w h o remain suffer—indeed, the suffering is extreme.' " P. S.—This letter I concluded last night. This morning application is made for two more graves. " Forenoon.—One of the grave-diggers dropped down from hunger. A child has been found dead in the woods, where it strayed to pick berries.' " In consequence of the above information (instead of a public meeting being called, as stated by some mistake in the Globe of last night), the committee of the Corn mercial-hall, at a meeting yesterday, appointed five of their number to receive subscriptions, in order to ado.inis tcr inirnediite relief. Other benevolent individuals are exerting themselves to obtain contributions. " This evening the schooner Harper sails, taking the Rev. C. Cummins as passenger, who will purchase at Antigua the required food, so far as the present funds will admit." THE NEW SPORTING WORKe-.-." Where can a nobler field be found for the im gination tf , an tout opened to the man attached to rural pastimes ? To muse beside a sparkling stream—to wander writing tighiand solitudes—to feel the excitement of the chase, and after wards the delicious repose which evening and the fir -side bring to the weary hunter—these inuAt be felt to be un (l rstood, and few of th pee who feel them can express the luxury of their sensations.
