CLERKENNTLL SESSIONS, Nov. 4.

M,/on WILLIAM NI AIIIWANINB, Chair".v,
and a nn Rear' of 7ustices of the Peace
_fur
that County.

Irilliam Miry, a prisoner in the Col,lll*th-fields
prison, was indided for stealing a quantity of cop-
per from a building in the prison. l'he Gels of the
ease were pmed by Mr. Arid, and he was sentenced
so remain in ennfingment six months above the
term for which he st ,od committed.

James /Girl'', a blind fiddler, was brought up for
judgment, on a conviEtion of keeping a disord rlv
house ; na,mely, a house for music ;tnd dancing. con-
trary to the statute. This son of Apollo had before
fillets under the displeasure of the Magis rates, by
suffering his harmonious strains to attraFt an ass-m-
-blatte of not very orderly company, at his lniging,
in Duke-street Their Worships had, however, re-
laxed their severity, and they promised to pardon
him. upon condition, that he should not commit a
repetition of the offence. Kegaa consequently
lift off his favourite pursuit for a shoot time ; hut,
finally, returned to it i.gain ; and his balls displayed
all the gaiety they originally possessed ; his enemies
could net see the former scenes of merriment re-
vived, without disapprobation ; the Magistrates
were. consNuently, again applied to, and our blind
Orpheus was summoned to attend the bench, in.
stead of which. he refused to leave his festive
throng, and, with the greatest sans frud bid their
Wordships defiance.
_ _ . _ _

On being called upon to speak in defence of his
condua, he alleged, that after he had been warnei
to leave off his musical pursuits, he complied with
the injunttion during five weeks, at the end of which
time, his wife went to the work-house, his children
were starving, and the whole of his family would
have perished, if he had not again taken up his
fiddle, to procure them bread. He observed, he was
blind, and had no other way of getting a livirg.
He said, he had been employed by several Ma-
gistrates to exert his musical powers at their
houses ; and he thought, from the indulgence he had
experienced from them, that he ought to expel a
licence to carry on his business, if their Worsh.ps
did not approve of his conduit in the present in-
stance. The Court informed him, that the contu-
macy he had :hewn could not pass unpunished, and
he was sent►nced to one month's imprisonment.

Sentence was then passed upon the several per-
sons found guilty, and tern.tining for judgment ;
and the Sessions closed.

The University and King's College of Aberdeen
have eleßed the Ri,4ht Hon. Lord GLZIORIVIe to
be Re:tor of that University, for the ensuing year,
in place of the late Di v o SCOTT, Esq.
On Wednesday and Thursday. the South Devoe
Militia, commanded by Lord Rota.c, arrived at
Lilo-mesa, from Bristol.
On Sunday morning, at nine o'clock, Deur .-
Col Jzfeni-esoti inspeaed the lit Battalion of the
Queen's Volunteer Corps, on their grodud in
Chel-
seaselJs, for the last time this season. After the
inspeetion, the Corps marched to their Armoury,
where they deposited their arms and acco.arements
till the spring. One of the members of the 1.1
Company, refusing to deposit his belts, the Colnetol
dismissed him from the Cups.
As a soldier belonging to the Surrey Militia, ly-
isig at Dover, was washing a bat-horse on Friday
last in the Sea, the beach being stem, he was soon
out of his depth, and, in swimming, threw his rider,
who was drowned before sufficient assistance could
be procured; thz horse being blind, kept swimming
is a circle fur some time, but could ant be saved.

Yesterday, at Nlarlborough-street, three women

of whom were fashionably attire)), were charged
with stealing a valuable silk shawl from the shop of
Messrs. IIY nz and Lt.ovu, Warchonsemen, 68,

and desired to look at some valuable silks, acc.
They left it without mi.kitig a purchase, an were

tion. Inft.rmation was given to the shopman. by
