WRSTMINCTER SESSIONS.

(SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.

GALLANT 1111ITENDE.—We have obtained the following par:
'Molars of an action with the pirates, er Manikins, is which
they were pliantly defeated by the brigs Abeam, captain
Blinn, of tide port ; Bowduia, Captain Carr. of Warren (ar-
rived at Newport); and Neptune, Captain Barton, of Bristol.
These vessels sailed from Mantasas on the Sd inst. in company
—four biers after sailing they were chased and come ap with
(about eight miles from Matinees) by a piratical 'showier,
sweating one large gen en a pivot, and supposed to be matted
with seventy or eighty men. The pirate bailed the cavities of
(the brigs and ordered them to surrender, otherwise no quarter
alseeMhe given them. The awake aimweeed, that they es•
oselkal nese, end shield defend their ls to the last. The
piest• immediately commenced the action by discharging his
large gun, and giving three cheers, which was promptly Ps-
turned by the brigs ; and after an amino of one hoer and a half,
they obliged the pirate to haul off, damaged oessiellemthly.
Judging from the confusion they were in, there meet have been
a great member of the pirates killed or wounded. I%ey came
up with mildews sweeps, and used seven only whea they heated
off. The brigs were so near the piratical seheoner, that the
Captains sew people on board whom they bad traded with et
*duress. The Bookie parted company with the ether brigs
slier getting through the Passage. The Abeam mu bested to
this port, and the Nerada to Trieste.—Firgisiii Paper.
Two French artists, MM. Bouten and Dagoeree, have %t-
-weeted a new method of exhibiting sorties of painting, differ-
ing from the panorama, in'that two separate ehimaa are *W-
hited at the same time. kis called the Diorama, red the Uri
is borrowed from the panorama. The scene is the interior of
some grand building, or the view df a hematite! valley, which

remelts a staircase, lighted by a single lamp, to render centrum
more striking ; he then enters a handsome room, and before hies
is a window looking into the isiteri • of a church ; that et pre-
sent exhibiting is the elmpel of the Trinity, at Canterbury ; the
MOM then terns on a pivot, and the spookier is surprised at
seeing before him the valley of Semen, in Switserlaad. The
picture is plaited at a fixed distant* from the spectator, and is
lighted from the sides as well as from above, while it is on con-
trived that the eye of the 'poet:dor shall be kept epos the pli•
lure, and pass over the space between without notices By this
oreano the illusion Is almost perfect. and the tooter-oft, oau
scarcely imagine himself otherwise thau looking at were froth
a window. The management of the light displays great judg-
ment, and upon that the deception io a great 'struck depends.
FALSE DloE.—The recent detention of false dice reaemiales
a circumstance which happened many years ago at a feenoes
gambling-horse, in the chief region of gambling, the perish
of St, James's.—A nobleman, when be had lost a oonsiderable
sum, suspecting some fraud, declined playing any longer. took
the dice, and placed him in his pocket. The gang were all in
alarm, fearing that the detection week put an sod to their
depredations. After a eonsultation for some time, it was re-
solvei to offer his lordship's valet da chamire 5801. if he would
enter his mac.' .'s room, remove the tale, diem, and substitute
good ones. The bait soeceeded, and the house preserved its
oheracter.
The swampy siteetine of the Funiteetiary it Millhank, ren-
ders the pla,se pat tioularly obnoxious to the human constitution,
end no doubt occasions mush of the mortality of the prison,
which was very improperly erected In a swamp. The green
&Innen: water that suirounds the building is extremely on-
wholesome, and if the place war properly irrigated, and .
'steam-engine erected to throw the water into the Thames, it
would tend greatly to the salubrity of the place.
A man named Humphries, of Llanfair, in North Wales, paid
his addresses to • female, who lived heeond Conway. They
agreed to meet at a fair in that town. In his way hither, be
felt down one of the preeipioes of Penmen Mawr; aloe wits
overset in the Conway terry-Mint, and was the only perms that
escaped out of more than fourscore. They were afterwards
united, and lived many years in the parish of Llanfeir i is the
cli.:rch-yard of whieli the inheloitants point out their graves.

night of Monday the 13th or January he went into the Red
Lion public boue at ten miseries after twelve, and'sew at the
bar five men and e women, one of whom was served with ha
glass of rum witbuut any hesitation.
Cross-examined by Mr. Taylor,—Dost you know the Red
Lion to be a house for the reemption of travellers 1 1 believe it
is.—Have not you seen coaches at the door, after twelve at
night, to take bume people returning from the theatre have
seen couches at the Qom. Were IV stage coaches at the
door on the night in questioe, At ten minutes after twelve ? I
saw one stage ooacn at the door. Can you swear that the

Chet there was 4 techoical objection to oonviction,mathe ground
that there was a misnomer as to the parish. The informant no
being able to prove in what parish the house was situated, the
objection was cousidered fatal, and the conviction quashed.
Mary Hammond was iadictad for steeling a number of house-
hold articles, the property of a poor woman who was °unlined
to her bed by illness, and whom the prisoner visited under the
pretence of affording assistance. She was detected in com-
mitting the theft, and on the proaeoutris endeavouring to get
back her property, the prisoner struck her a violent blow in the
face.—The case was clearly proved.
Thin Chairman (V- Const, RIK.) in passing judgment, said, the
case was one am aggravated nature, and the sentence of the
Court therefore was--" that she should be tiupristuted Ilia ca-
lendar months, and kept to bard labour.

the army surgeons had been applied to with a view
to ascertain the number of those who are ready for

tion of a great many of the medical attendants of
the army, and we understand that the vacancies are
