•L.T BAILEY.

'6l"hrarsday, Munn*, Kellaway and George Lowther wet..
bilicteil, the former for having stolen some pears, the pro•
pertly of James Collins, and the latter for having received
Ilbe Anon., knowing them to have been stolen.
The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at Stamitird-bill,
and the prisoner Kel:awar was his gardener, and had been
so for two years and n half. It appeared, that on Monday,
Nov. IS, the prisoner Lowther, a trititerer, was apprehended
by a wa:chinan, with the pears in his possession t eingtaken
to the watch-Louse, he confessed that he had received them
of Kellaway.
On Tuesday, Nov. 16, before Mr. Collins went to town in
thy morning, his
_gardener requested him to send down •
letter to the magistrates, who had taken his friend Lowther,
for having a few pears in his possesAion which he had gine
hiai. The prosectitvr then went down to the magistrates,
together with Keilaway, and when the pears were produced,
he knew then, to be his own; there were about a peck and
a half of them, and were worth Ss. Toe magisi tate, upon
bearing the evidence,. immediately committed the gardener
a. the thief, awl Lowther the receiver.
A great number of witnesses gave both the prisoners an ex-
cellent character.
The Jury deliberated a long time, and then returned a
verdict Wing Kellaway Gnilty and Lowther Not Guilty.
The Common Sergeant then sentenced Kellaway to be im-
prisoned one year in the House of Correction, to be kept to
bard labour and to be whipped in the gaol.

Last night a dreadful fire broke out 'near Wapping docks.
It began on the premises of Messrs. 'Vince and Clark; but
wh. thee it were occasioned by mere accident, or by neglect
an e elesseees, we could n,t ascertain. The extensive dry-
cod warehouses of Messrs. Vizier and Co. were soou
burs to the ground, and the contiagration spread to the
neighbouring houses, many of which were speedily destroyed.
chief suderera are Mr. Oliver, an ironmonger, and Mr.
Walelle, a vintner. Happily no lives were lost; though a

W. regret to state, that the county of Waterford, at a dis-
t nee of about six miles to We westward of the city, con-
Lases to exhibit scenes of robbery, and symptoms of worse
outr•ige. Ni later than Thursday eteanight, there were
very strong Indications of it, conspiracy to assassinate.

of the plot was fully upon his guard, we forbear to enter into

Thursday morning seven prisoners (all transports) confined
in Carlisle Goal, made their escape in a manner the most dar-
ing and outrageous. The turnkey (Mr. Brown) went with
Lis atteridaut, as usual, a little hefbre eight o'clock, to open the
doors of the prison rooms; when it is customary for his at-
tendant on the outside to lock the outer door until he retiree;
f(910 the cells (it being considered unsafe fur him to have the
key then on his person); just as the doer opened to let bins
out, Pellet, one of the transports, flew upon him with a short
thick staff, struck him to the ground, so violently as to render
him nimble to make any resistance ' • and immediately six more
rushed up to their leader (all with their irons off) and pro-
ceeding to the lodge, went op stairs, palled the turnkey's
wife out of bed, and threatened to kill her if she did not pro-
duce Use key of the street-door; which she did ; wheat they
opened the door, and thee made their escape. Mrs. Brown
immediately followed M her shift so the itseets cad pee (be

five dragoons immediately went in pursuit of them ; mad by
ten o'clock, Pellet and Bird were brought in, having been

Pine, on the 10th ult. and shortly filled with water, when a
'limber of persons between decks were drowned. ie ves-
sel kept together lentil the morning of the I lth, when the
wreck was hailed by the mate and four others, who had ven-
tured on shore in a boat, at the Inward of their fives, and in-
formed the sufferers of their situation. For the boat to re-
tern was impossible : a line was therefore fasten :d romid a
dog, which fortunately happened to be on board, and being
thrown over, lie swam with it on shore, which was the means
of saving the lives of the master, crew, and &shoat 160 pas-
sengers. When the vcAel some time alierwards went to
piece., upwards of Rio persona were prccipited into the ocean
and perished.
