BRIGHTON. Die. ♦

On Thursday eveniog lust, between nine and ten
o'clock, we were visited by a second gale of wind,
with a most boisterous contention of the elements,
closing with heavy and driving storms of rain. that
soon changed the ordinary cliaanels of the streets
to copious streams, which, en their jmictioa, on de-
clivities, rendered the crossings, for a time, iinpas-
sable.
The wind rose rapidly, between four and five iu
the afternoon, at which time only one vessel was
in sight, in appearance, a transport, or sloop of
war. She was running, at a great rate, under
reefed topsails, in a direction far Portsmouth.
During the storm, the wind was peciikarly an-
noying to the dwelling-houses, film.; the cham-
bers with smoke, while in others the, violence with
which it descended the chimnirs, forced the con-
tents of the grates, in many plaev; into the middle
er the roomy; however, we kill happy to state,
inconvenience was the only attendant esil of the
gale, as the fishing-boats were hauled up beyond
the power of the Rorie, and not a single vessel left
exposed on the beaA.
The Alert, Williams and Sally, coal brigs,
stated in ow last to have received much damage
in the gale of Saturday se'nnight, were got °lion
Tuesday, and are now refitting in Shoreham bar-
boor.
The expected arrival of his Royal Highness the
Prince of W•res, on Saturday night, was strongly
rumoured, from an idea, that his household were in
attendance for his reception ; and, though not vet
'trisect, the gratifying honour of a visit from ,lie
Heir Apparent, inmost noxiously looked for.
Tha roads to Shoreham, Littleliampton, and
‘Worthing, Lot week. exhibited many of our in-
valid troops in waggons, on their return to quarters
from Walcheren, with pallid counteosoces, that
bore pitiable testimony of the pestilence they had
been so wantonly exposed b.
The dancing and card assemblies, at the Castle,
are elegantly and isumensuoly attended, for the ad-
yawed state of the season.

The meeting at the Town-hall. on Mouday last,
had to beast; as ■ll charitable institutions should
have, a fell attendance. The Earl of CntEnErrica.
most ably discharged the duties of Chairman, and
the business clo.ed w►th a large subscription tor
the furtherance of this laudable design.
Mr. WA Ertsft. we understand, is to succeed Mr.
BECHT, as House Steward t. the Palmas, the form-
er Gentleman having retired from_ that situation.
Mr.. FITZHERIERT, Lady HAGGLISTONE, Miss
Simmons', and many other fashionable personages,
are among our last arrivals.

NEWTOWN' BANK Nona.
On Tuesday se'noight, Jane Lane, a noted
fortune-teller, who tired near Wyehridge turn-
' pike, Hereford, and .bane I.a. e, her daughter,
who went by the mune of Overton, were brought
front Bristol to Hereford; and on 'Wednesday they
underwent au examination before the Mayor of that
city, on the charge of hiving isseed notes belong-
ing to the Newtown Beek, Montgomeryshire, sup-
posed to have been lost at Worcester.

Anne Lane, alias avertoo, charged with hating
passed one attic above notes to Mrs. %Inward, who
keeps a shop at 11'yr:bridge, Hereford, was first ex-
amined. She said, that in the latter end of Fe-
bruary, or the beginning of March, ISUS, she went
to Loudon, accompanied by her daughter, a little
girl about eight years old ; that, at the inn where
they mapped at Oxford, the child having occasion
to go iuto the yard, the another accoinpaiiied her;
and whilst there, she perceived on the floor • kind
of leather pouch, lidded up and G.:nosed with a
button, which she picked up; but !tsarist); some
person exclaim that the coach was wai,ing, she put
it into her pocket, without • * g its contents,
and proceeded un her journey. Oo goiug to bed
in Loudon the next eveniiig, she opened the pouch,
and found that it contained about 23 or .24 notes,
which she supposed to belong to a bank in Glamor-
gandiire (taking, as she said, Montgomery, iii orna-
mented letters, for Glarnorganshire, though she
could read and write) ; that she expected to hear
twine account of their being lost; but failing in that,
she passed seine of them the beg; i last iii ii CP.
met. On producing to her some of the notes, shy
iinuotelaitely acknowledged they were thesame is
those found at Oxford ; and, at the request of rile
Mayor, she wrote her WAR' on the Liack, of one of
the notes issued by her. She also staled, that she
gave to her mother, for the purpose of buying sorn
articles for the children, the note offered to, and '
detilined by, Mr. Smyth, mercer, of Ilereford.
Mr. 'f ilsley, of the Newtown Bauk, had stated in
his deposition, that the notes were, lost the latter cud
of April ; whereas it appeared, by the above state-
ment; by Anne Lane, that she found them
two months before that period.
Mrs. Milward, wifit of Mr. Milward, deposed,
that, iii the beginning of lout summer, she received
a blauk impression of the above notes froio Anne
Lane, who, she then supposed, was the wife of
John Overton, in payment for goo', value se.
and that she gave the Prisoner Lis. iu change;
that, on sliewiog the note to Mr. %Inward, her
bin:band, he. iminediately pronounced it had, and
desire,: her to return it to the Prisoner, who, when
she I.,:e.tivtql it back, observed, that " her husband
(waning Overton) gave it to her out of his coat-
pocket io a mistake ; that lie had many more of
them, as he was employed to carry theta to the
proper place to be tilled up."
Jars, Lane, the mother, was charged with having
uttered one of the above notes at the shop of Mr.
Smyth, mercer, Hereford. She acknowledged the
fact, and wtwl she received it of her daughter ; hot
that sly aiterwartis paid fur the goods, with a good
bill of the Hank of F.:tgland, which she received of
Out Keyaolds, of Gattertop, Herefordehire, whe
had come to consult r respecting a ;tome that
wool stolen. They were both nuininitted for trial:
The gypsey-woman entered into recognitaire
in the sum of t ul. (which was deposited) for her
appearance to give evidence against the Lanes.
On Thiirsday, John Orel-too. the tVorceder
coachman, was re-examined. After the depupi-
firms were read over to him, he denied haring any
knowledge whatever of the notes in question., 1k
wus also committed, on suspicion of having stolen
the said uotes.

Whrn Mr. Tilsley went to Hereford, about
fortnight ago. he took with him the piece or leatla r
which was tied to the frail. containing part of the
noteo, when it was received at the house of Messrs.
Baxter and Lloyd, Ludlow, boring the following
direction a ritten on it: " Richard Baxter. Esq.
Ludlow, Shropsbire."—..Jolin Owens, one of the
Police Oflicersat Herefordirok particular care of
this piece of leather, and. ante indefatigable in-
quiries. he discovered that Serjeant Sheraton, be-
longing to the Staff tit Hereford. frequently wrote
letters for Overton. On Friday morning Shenton
appeared at the Council Mom, and deposed,
that the direction on the above piece of leather was
his hand-writing. and that he wrote it about six
montbe ago for Overton, but fur what purpose lie
did not know.

The notes were lost the latter end of April,
IFOS, and the directions, fur the purpose of for-
warding to Ludlow the remaining 17-to, were writ-
ten about six months ago, bat it was not 4leli-
vered till within the last month to the turnpike-
man, sear Worcester.
Of the small number of the shove notes at-
tempted to be put into circulation, *early the whole
have bees racovered. Those which were tilled rip
Might have been detected by the most CA1rt..141.011 ob-
server, the hand-writing being so Willy executed
as not to bear the smallest resemblance tu-iliat of *
man '4. business; and several of them were even
proffered without either tuialrer, date, or signa-
ture. -

A shocking occurrence took place at Liverpool.,
on Friday,. Toe cirennodasices are as follow :
About half-past ten o'clock, on that morning,
Mu. WILLIAM WIL4OII, of Lord-street, a tallow -
diaintler, dropped front the top window of his
house, into his back-yard ; he broke one of his
thighs, one of his arms, tool his breast. De ins-
sfteil oily about au hou►. An Inquest was held
the v+atne day, on the body, at the Town-hall, •be-
fore Dr. (;EURARD, one of the Coroners. It ap-
peared in evidence, from the testimony of DANIEL
WILSON, the deceased's brother, that the deceased
was very munch given to liquor, and when he left off
drinking for any length of time, he became nielmi2
choly, and they were obliged to have a person to
take care of him, to prevent his doing mischief to
himself, which he frequently attempted; and Ivo,-
ing lately left off drinking again, on Friday morn-
ing hr was observed to he mare dull than usury',
and he went frequently up stairs. The shopman,
end servant-girl of the deceased, einieraied the
alr.nre statement. A joarneyinitn hakes proved the
manner lie which the deceased dropped f the
window. The •lit returned a veldi- • of--Lve,i,ss.
