A detestable old monster,of the name of Rawlins,
aged 61, with silver locks, was brought up by
Glannon, one of the officers, from Dock-head, on
the serious charge of infamously anaalting an in.
fant child, his scholar, unchir the age of ten years.
The story of the poor little injured innocent, with
the view of the medical assistant, and other circum-
stances, fixed the charges so completely on the vil-
lain, that he was fully committed to the County
Gaol. Sach was the indignation of the populace,
that it was with difficulty the officers could preserve
him from their fury, while on their route to the
prison. This is the same Win who was so roughly
handled in the pillory at Clerkenwell Green, within
these last three months, for a similar offmce,

southwarul ; several ships have come into harts°
among them the Matte, Elliott, with loss of
chor, cables, &c. The American ship Me,-,
is driven on shore.on the South Sea Brink; also t.
Sarah and Ann.

This morning upwards of thirty all of transpbt
arrived at St. Helen's, from the Mediterranean, un-
der convoy of the Niger and letTaissi frigates. They
must have haJ a short passage from Gibraltar, as
the Aurora, which arrived on Sunday, left there
th-te ; and she was only a fortnight coming hornt
But what seems more extrandinary, it is believe'
that the force arrived is the same which left Skil.
lately, with Sir John Moore, and that he is come
home w!th them. They have not had any commis.
nication with the shore yet.
Arrived the Resilience frigate, Captain Adam,
with a French lugger privateer, of 10 guns, whici
she took off Havre ; Sheldrake sloop, which chased
two French lugger' off Beachy Head, on Sunda;
night.
Arrived the Mercury frigate, Captain Gordon
from Newfoundland; and the Linnet, from a cruise.
There are SOO sick troops on board the fiPet from
Monte Video, besides more than 1000 who are in.
felled with the scurvy, and many of them very bad
cases.

REMAIN AT SPITHEAD.
