Last week, a female child, seven years old, travelling with its
mother in a Plymouth stage, in jumping towards the door on the
off side, forced it open, and before its mother could catch hold
of its clothes, fell on the kirb stone, and her skuli was literally
dashed to pieces. She was the only child of an officer on foreign
service.
Early on Thursday morning, a std accident happened in Cle-
ment's cow-yard, at Kingsland, °whit to one of the bulls getting
among the cows white the peeple were milking. A woman
who was far advanced in her pregnancy, not being able to get
out of the way in time, was gored in a dreadful manner, and one
of the horns of the furious animal penetrating the abdomen, she
was literally ripped oi,en. The poor creature was instantly con-
veyed to the hospital, where she now lies in: most deplorable
stattri:..and little hope is entertained of her rec... very.
At the General t-a-ssions of the peace for Canterbury, held on
Monday, J. Newsom, for feloniously uttering a false and forged
check, purporting to be drawn by J. Browat, with intent to de-
fraud Messrs. Payler and Co. of the Canterbury Bank, of the
sum of ten guineas, was found guilty, and the Mayor passed on
him the awful sentence of death. The prisoner immediately
sunk down, and was taken from the bar in a state of.insensi-
bility. He was a non-commissioned officer in the Royal Wag-
gon Train, and an excellent character was given him by several
of his officers, and by two other respectable persons with whet*
he had lived as a servant.

OLD BAILEY.

Tuesday, John Brown was indicted for stealing, on the I Ith
•f December, a leather portmanteau, containg wearing apparel,
the pro )erty of David Field. The portmanteau was put-in the
Bedford waggon, at Bedford, with other packages. It was to
come to the White Hart, in St. John's-street. The waggon
contained poultry, which the waggoner carried to Newgate
lklarket ; and during his absence, the prisoner opened the fore
part of the waggon, where the portmanteau was stowed, and
was seen making off with it. The Jury found him guilty, and
being a notorious offender, he was immediately sentenced to
seven years tpnsportation.
The several trials having finished, sentence of Death was
pronounced by the Recorder on the tollowing convicts, viz.:—
Jeiseph Blair and Gustavus Lowe, for forgery ; Ann Nesbitt, for
fasslng counterfeit money, having been before convicted of a
like offence ; Jane Holland and James Blay, for burglary; John
White and Thomas King, for highway robbery ; Henry Wilson,
Urm. Lewis, and Wm. Henry Atterbury, for stealing goods in
dwelling-houses ; and Henry Goucher, for horse-stealing.
Twenty-one were ordered to be tran'ported for seven years ;
one to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two years ;
nine for one year, and eight for six months ; ten in Newgate for
various periods; two to be privately and one publicly whipped ;
two fined Is. each, and discharged; six judgments respited, and
twenty-three were discharged by proclamation.—Sessions ad-
journed to the 20th of February.

PARISIAN FASHIONS.

A long feather in front of the hat, and a Saw of ribbons with
long ends un the side. Th-se are two articles of fashion
generally adoi.:ed. At the commencement of this fashion ,he
feather was worn inrnediatel; trout •if the hat; to day it
may be worn a Ifttiv on one side. In the first instance it was
worn in a straight and upright form; but today it is admitted
to be a little incline d ; a white :,taw cr rftbon may likewise be
worn, or one of pit*. but wi:at is the must admired is a mixture
of both; that is to a ribbon composed partly of pink at,d
partly of white; or, if you prefer, yellow and white. At first
the ends of th. 2 bow were placed in an opposite position to the
feather ; but now it it worn on the same s de. Borderings of
gold embroidered on hats of black velvet are considered the
summit of elegance, but the embroidery must he extremely
light ; it must to. rn only a narrow-border, for the broad would
be considered volirar. Pearl and coral beads are the grand re-
source of the milliners; yes, pearl or coral. We have said
that the pearls had taken precedence of the bugles. It is now
the same with the coral: they 'have taken precedence of the

what it has been these last two days."
Thursday—" His Majesty remains as well as he was yester-
Friday—" His Majesty continues very much in the state in
which he has been for the last two or three slays."
Saturday—" His Majesty continues very much the same as

His Majesty had another relapse on Saturday

warm bath, which produced considerable relaxation.

PORTUGAL.

Extracts of Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches, dated
Cartaxo, Dec. 22 and 29, have appeared in
the Gazette. They inform us that reinforcements,
consisting of 16 or 17,000 men, had probably, by
that time, according to his Lordship's computa-
tion of their progress, joined MASSENA, who had
posted some troops on the Lower Coa, and
sent others- towards Castello Branco, after throw-
ing three bridges over the Zezere. No men-
tion whatever is made, at least in what has
been published, of the capture of a French spy, or
of the probability of an approaching action.
Private Letters represent the renewal of offensive
operations as very distant. They assert that the French
Officers at Santarem spent their time in festivity,
whilst our own and the Portuguese amused them-
selves with bull fights and other sports of that
nature. Mutual invitations were given and received
by officers of both armies; and it was perhaps for
the purpose of preventing this dangerous inter-
course that Marshal BERESFORD in his daily orders
directed that every officer belonging to the division
of the combined forces, under his command, should
on no pretence whatever mbsent hiniself for a term
exceeding 24 hours. It is ,also stated, that this order
was issued in consequenceQf the discoveries made by
)VZnssE::A'sAide-de-camp,enin the vicinity of Cas-
tello Branco. The Moniteur has mentioned a snare
spread to deceive Lord WELLINGTON • might not the
revelations of this spy form part of that snare, and
be intended to occasion some movement of our
troops, which might assist the plans of the enemy ?
He is said to have reported that want of bread
would shortly compel MASSENA to retreat, and in
consequence of this information, our Commander is
represented as doing every . thing in his power to
bring on a decisive action. Let him beware ; a
moment's imprudence may render months of cau-
tion useless. Large reinfot cements a. e to sail
shortly to join his Lordship.

DUKE'S PLACE IN AN UPROAR.

On Friday evening, a consid.-•rable disturbance took place
among the Jews in Duke's-place, arit:og from the circumstance
of a Jew baker there, who had, previous to that titnz., been in

dent of 1789, and no precedent could at.this time have been so
imperious on the House; because a similar proceeding Lead, in
that year, not only been proposed, but adopted, and the Parlia-

DOWNING-TREET, JAN. 14.

A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was yesterday
received at the office of the Earl of Liverpool, addressed to his
Lordship by Lieutenant-General Viscount Wellington, dated
Cartaxo, Dee. 20, 1810.
My Lotto—The enemy still continue in their position at
Santarem, in which no alte- ation of consequence has been made
since I addressed your Lordship on the I sth instant.
They continue to collect boats on the Zezere, over which
river thov have now two or three bridges.
The enemy have hewn themselves en the Lower Coa, ac-
cording to the last accounts limn Gen. Silviera, but not, in his
opinion, in such force, as to pass that river. The reports which
I had received of the march of the troops of the Bth corps to-
wards Madrid, have not been confirmed.
The last accounts which I have received from Cadiz, are of
the Bth instant. I have, &c.
(Signed)

WP.LLINGTON.

The following 17.xtract of a dispatch from Lord Viscount Wel-
lington, dated k.artaxo, Dec. 29, 1810, has been received at the
office of the Earl of Liverpool.
Since I addressed you on the 22d instant, I have received re-
ports that the enemy's troops winch had retired from Lower
Beira, in the end of last and the beginning of this month, had
crossed the Coa at Almeida, on the 15th, and 16th instant, and
had moved into Upper Beira, by the roads of Piuhel and Tran-
coio, and of Alverca and Celerico.
I have not been able to ascertain exactly the strength of the
body of troops which have emered by this frontier, but it is
sLated to be 16,000 or 17,000 men, and consists, I should imagine,
riot only of Gardanne's division, but of some, if not the whole,
i.f the troops of the 9th corps.
By the last accounts I have of these troops, the advanced guard
had arrived at Maceira, in the valley of the Mendego, on the
v:?,d, and their progress has not been rapid. But if they have
continued their march, they ought by this time to he in com-
munication with the enemy's post in the neighbourhood of
Thomar.

General Silvie.ra had retired with his division of troops to
lkioimento de Beira; but lie and General Miller and Colonel
Wilson'were prepared to act :.cross the Mondego upon the flanks
and rear of the enemy's troops, the whole of which it appears
were marching on the left of that river.

No alteration has been made in the position of the enemy's
troops in front of this army, excepting that a detachment of be-
tween two or three thousand cavalry and infantry had moved
into Lower Beira, across the Zezere towards Castello Branco,
probably with a view to gain intelligence.
By accounts from Estremadura, it appears that Generals Men-
aizabal and Ballasteros have had some success ir. their opera-
tions against a French division belonging to Mortices corps,

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

A miraculous instance of preservation from destruction oc-
curred in the East Essex Regimental Hospital at Harwich, in
bhe middle of the night of Friday se'nnight :—A chimney was
lown down into one of the sick wards, the whole contents of
which, near a ton in weight, fell on each side of a bed in which
a sick serjeant lay ; the bedstead was shattered to pieces, and
himself enveloped under the ponderous load, notwithstanding
which he was extricated from his alarming situation unhurt—
another man, who slept in the next birth, also escaped without
the smallest injury.
A gentleman was stopped on Tuesday evening last, about half
plat eight o'clock, by two footpads armed with horse pistols, on
Golder's Hill, between the live mile stone and the Ivy House,
returning from Hendon, who after robbing him of his cash,
pocka•book, &c. tied his hands behind him, placed a bandage
over his eyes, and then threw him into a ditch in about twenty
minutes, by extreme exertion, he liberated one hand from the
cord, which rendered him able to get up, and consequently hast-
ened his steps towards the Bull and Bush Inn, North End. It
is conjectured the villains made their way towards Hendon
Vdlage.

By a tette! from the seat of Government, we learn that it'is ex-
pected, that a Proclamation, laying an embargo on all vessels in
the pi.rts and hirhours of the United States, would.be. issued by the
President, in consequence of advict.s received by late dispatches
from the United States .Charge d'Affaires in London.

LYCEUM.

The Inconstant was performed on Friday, for the purpose of
again bringing forward Mr, Poi NAM, whom the whole of our
Readers must recollect was some years ago one of the walking
Gentlemen of Drury-Lane. A Daily Paper talks much of the
disadvantages of a first appearance, &c. and it must be confes-
sed that all this would be very fine, if in its proper place; but it
has a ludicrous effect when applied to Mr. Pumnit, who,
though new to the writer of that article, is not new to the Lon..
don Stage. Mr. ETRE has left the Lyceum ; and, as a thing of
this kind would be quite as well said of him when he again ap-
pears, if 1 were the author of the article in question 1' would
write one to be ready at his return. Mr. PUTNAM, in my opi•
nion, succeeded very indifferently. His conception of the part
was bad, and his affectation madeltis performance contempti-
ble. He may be found useful in a Theatre, but he will not suc-
ceed in the roung Mirabel line, in a Company of which
Wactics and MELVIN are Members. G.

TUE BATTLE BETWEBN CRIB AND MOLINEXIX.

The battle between the formidable champion Crib, and the
powerful Molineaux, which has for some time past been the
first and only consideration amongst the sporting world, took
place on Saturday at Thisseltun Gap, in the county of Rutland,
eight miles from Grantham, bordering on thrle other counties.
A 25-feet stage was erected in a stubble ground, without the
slightest interruption, and before twelve o'clock several thou-
sands of persons had collected, one-fourth or which were No-
bility and Gentry from the surrounding country. Not a bed
could be had within twenty miles of the seat of action on Friday
night. Captain Barclay, by a science of training peculiar t.b
himself, had reduced Crib from upwards of 16 stone to his
present weight, by Scots living, but ire had still kept his stamina.
pure. Molineux ban not to boast of patrician patronage, and
consequently his training was left chiefly to himfell ; and,
although he has conducted himself steadily, yet the want of that
of that sort of countenance, which gives men confidence, suL-
jected him often to despondency not favourable to training.
From this circumstance alone may be attributed the immense
odds, which were 3 to 1 oh Crib, and 6to 4 about the first
knock down. The combatants mounted the stage at twelve
o'clock,'and at 18 minutes past (having viewed each other
with significant glances), they prepared for combat. Gulley and
Joe Ward seconded Crib, and Riennian and Bill Gibbons se-
conded Molineux.

THE SET-TO.
Round 1. Sparring for one minute. ivheti7 Crib made play,
right and left. The right-handed hI,Jw told slightly on the body
at the Moor, who returned slightly on the head. A rally tol-
lowed, in which three blows were exchanged, when the Black

SINGULAR CRICKAT-MATell.

On Wednesday last a singular Cricket-match commenced at
Bias-pond, Newington. The players on each side were twenty-
two women eleven Hampshire against eleven Surrey. The
match was made between two amateur Noblemen of t e re?
spective counties, for five hundred guineas aside. The per-
formers in this singular contest were of all ages and sizes, from
14 years old to upwards of 40 ; and the different parties were
distingui,hed by coloured ribbons: royal purple for the Hamp-
shire ; orange and blue, Surrey. The weather being favourable
on Wednesday, some very excellent play, and much skill was
displayed; but the palm of that day Wa'i borne off by a Hamp-
shire lass, who made 41 innings before she was thrown out.
At the conclusion of theday,tbe first innings for Hampshire were
81, while those of the Surrey were only seven. Five to one ou
the Hampshire lasses; any odds offered, but no takers. Thurs-
day the Surrey damsels kept the field with their second innings
almost the whole of the day ; but it rained so incessantly there
was very little play. The game, it is expected, will he con-
cluded to-nearrow ; but the gene-ral opinion is, that. Hampshire
will gain the victory. Notwithstanduig the unfavourable state
cf the weather, a great concourse of euple attended to witness
this Angular contention; and although each party seem. d to
exert their utmost skill and activity against thi.ir adversaries,
the utmost harmony and good humour prevailed amongst
them.

MISCELLANIES.

Lieut.-Col. the Hon. Basil Cochrane, of the 36th regiment,
has been tried by a Court-Martial at Fuente Guinahio, on a
charge of writing letters to Major-General Campbell, of the 6th
division, couched in disrespectful and offensive terms; and,
being found guilty, was sentenced to be reprimanded, which
sentence has been carried into effect.

A General Court-Martial assembled at Bombay on the 29th of
May, 1810, to try. Captain John,.Stirling, of the 84th regiment,

3ISTEII.

General Gareau, commanding at Mont Louis, having learned,
Ws the 15th of April, that a body of 300 imsurgentb had entered
Puycerda, where they were committing great disorders, set out
i►:,rnediately with Woof the 20th horse Chasseurs, and a com-
pany of the regiment of Wurtzburgh. About noon the General
perceived the insurgents before the town. His infantry could
not .keep pace wi•.ll the rapid march of his cavalry ; he, not-
withgtar►din;;, determined to make an attack. The enemy
were all overthrown, and cut to pieces. He took eighty-two
prisoners. •

ARMY OF ARRAGON.
On the 3d of March the garrison of Tarragona came to attack
the fort of Saint Philip, on the heights of Balaquer, with about
2000 men. They were compelled to retreat by the fire of the
fort, after having seen a flag of truce shamefully sent back, who
was sent to propose to the Commanding Officer to deliver up
the fart for a considerable sum of money, which was to be paid
to kiln in England.
On the same day the Governor of Tarragona endeavoured to
surround with 6000 men, 2000 French, who were posted at
Pereßo, under the orders of Colonel Robert, who held them in
check, without putting his cavarry in motion, until the arrival
of General Hilbert, with a regiment, and his artillery, when
the enemy were obliged to retire towards Tarragona in con-
fusion.
The English General Doyle endeavoured to raise a regiment
In the mountains of Catalonia. Colonel Solana, with fifteen
Officers, endeavoured by dint of bribes. to procure recruits
among the young men, Old even among the bands of robbers itl
the upper vallies. The columns that were sent in pursuit of him
surprised him and all his people on the night of the 14th of
March at Blancafort, on the Noguera.
On the 12th, a squadron of dragoons attacked the advanced
posts of Oentral Musnier, at Beuicarlo. They were charged,
and pursued to the distance of a league by *sixty of the 4th
Hussars, under the command of Lieut. Desmart, who killed and
wounded upwards of twenty of them, and took sixteen prison-
ers, and several horses. • Soon after, 500 of the enemy s horse
united, and came to take their revenge. The Chief of Squadron,
Rubichon, went to reconnoitre them with • ightv cuirassiers-, who
instantly drove their sharpshooters back upon the body of their
troops, consisting of five squadrons. Rubichon immediately
formed his troop into close order, and with a resolution which
does hint honour, rushed into the midst of the enemy. Valour
prevailed over nuipbers. The Spaniards were broken and
obliged to fly, leaving on the field eighty killed and fifty pri-
soners. We had only four killed, and ten wounded.
General Sachet arrived on the 26th of April, with his corps
before Tarragona. He has collected at Col de Balaguer and
Mora, every thing necessary for the siege. It was expected
that the trenches would be opened against the fortress at the
beginning of May. •
