ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4v.

An instance of barbarity, acarcely paralleled, occurred at Haat-
111WI, a few days since. A female child, named White, scarcely
four years of-age..left its parents about three o'clock is the afternoon.
bat nothing dangerous as to its fate was apprehended until the even-
ing. As mien, however, approached, .anmety and inquiry increas-
ed, but ne account could be obtained ofthe infant's retreat. It wan
at tint hoped that the little wandered' hod taken refuge in some neigh_
bowing house where it was known ; Moaner the most diligent wank
as as ma le. every exertion fails! in gaiitiog theidtaircd intelligence.
As lateas twelve o'clock, the crier went from one extremity of the
town to the other, proclaiming the circumstance, but sill without
tidings of the ankh At length shocking.to relate, on the *Bow-
ing morning the iufarg was tonntl in nearly atlitiless state, stowed
in a confined locker, in a fishing-boat, on the beach. The door or
slide of this recess was made fast. aud a piece of canvas thrown upon
the outside. Upon examining the child, it was futend thcatifully
bruised and disNpued; sevestilof the marks, no doubt, occasioned
as well by its own struggles-as by the blows it hadoceived. The
infant wore dogs, and these were dragged from her 0w5....-a eirecto3-
stUnee, however, whichled to the disoavery of the perpetrator; of this
infamous cruelty. .They preyed or be two boys, one seven and the
other nine pans of age. Upon the latter was faun d one of the rim's
tak.tr flow the child; and on being accused of the aline, they ac.-
knowledged having dipped the child into the sea, and afterwards
crammed it into the place described, hut denied beating it. 'lire in-
fant was from home twenty-two hours, and without food, eighteen
of these it had beetaconfund in the locker. The child, by on the*/
aid, is recovering, and the young barbarians have been taken before-
a magistrate, who has ordered them at be punished.

of them; and the remainder, which has flit excce.!e3

Neetostet NIEDAY.S.—The series of national medals
now under execution, is an endertaking which we ex-
pect eriil eventually prove alike creditable to the arts
of our country, and the splendour of her military fame.
One of the last of tdese medals, struck off by the
artist, represents'on the obverse side, a profile of Na-
poleon Buonnparte, in a plain General's uniform, and
em the reverse, a representation of his Majesty's ship
Bellerophon, with the Ex Emperor.on the gangway,
where he usually made his appearance to gratify the
earioeity of serettgers. The inscription on this side of
fhe medal, records the data of Buonapartc's surrender
to • Captain Maitland, of the Bellerophon, and Lis
filleu fortune is emblirsativally described by the repro-
statation of the Imperial Eagle, which once flouted
upon his triumphant banners, from the Tiber to the
Vistula, now chained to the flag staff of an English
ship of war, where the light air of every breeze en-
wraps it in the silken folds of the British standard.
What a humiliating contrast does not the representation
on this medal present to that which the ealed Em-
peror
bad executed in 1801, when, in the extravagance
of his insatiable ambition, he contcuiplated the subjuga-
tion of Great Britain, and relying upon his genius and
fortune, prepared by anticipation (as was his custom)
the-record of his eepeeted achievement ! On that me-
vinrable.oreasinn, Napoleon added to his cabinet of nie-
dalse prepared under the direction of Mons. Denon, one,
which delineated on the inverse of his profile a re-
presentation of Hercules in the act of strangling a leo-
pard between his legs, with the motto, " l'aa. xii.
a.OOO barques soot eonstruites." The leopard was
intended to represent Great Britain (fer Napoleon was,
of course, of opinion, that the line did not belong
to the armorial bearings of England). and the llercuiies
was, no doubt, the godlike representative of the prowess
of- France.
There• is something generous hi the view which man-
kind takes in favour of the eutbrtenate ; where his fate
i; hard, a great Legislator, has well observed—" that
we only see the scourge, and not the crime." Ia this
slew, we think the collection of national medals pre-
paring in this country will not only perpetuate the record
of our fame, and the just pretensions of car artists in a
neglected branch of their profession, but will also ex-
hibit the liberality of our feelings towards a fallen ene-
pea by abstaining from following his example, when it
is our turn to represent a vanquished foe.
We rejoice to tin'}, that a letter from different }arts
of France, annotmee a fall iu the price of provisions.
'the beneficial effect, of this, it is to be hexed, will
be soon felt in this country.

The affair of Lacy draws to a conclusion, say accounts
from Barcelona of the 4th. The drawing up the in-
dictment is terminated ; it was necessarily long, for a
crowd of witnesses were to be examined. according to
the rules prescribed by the Ordinance of the Army.
Tuesday night a large cannon, which was taken at
the Battle of Waterloo. was placed on some flag-stones
secitred in the ;;ravel on the Parade in St. James's Park,
and was pabliely exibited on Wednesday for the first
time, it being the anniversary of the victory of Water-
loo. It appeers to be placed in a very awkward and
inconvenient apot in the general tleeroeghlare from the
horse Guards to Westminster.
MI:LANCIIOLY 'Accts NT.—On Friday morning
last, during a most tremendous gale, the Cossack, a boat
24 feet long, stationed near Sidmouth, to prevent
smuggling, was obeesveti about a mile from the :lore to
be in imminent danger, shipping a great quantity of
water, &c. The crew were seen immediately to lower
the sails, nod in about five minutes the boat went down
head-flit-most, and dreadful to relate, every soul on
board perished. About twenty minutes afterwards a
man was seen floating towards the shore supporting
himself on two oars ; but when within about one hun-
dred yards was washed off, and never seen to rise again.
At two o'clock the boat came on shore, keel uppermost,
opposite the billiard-rooms, containing several large
pistols and cutlasses, a small cask of ruin, some biscuit,
a very handsome case sewed up is a green bag, contain-
ing several packs of ca►ds, sets of mother of pearl coun-
ters, and a very elegant fillagree silver purse, with three
sixpences in it ; sails, clothes, &c. &c. The sea ran so
high that it was impossible for any one on shore to,
render the least assistance.
Chapman Fruits, the Oxfordshire bargeman, cele-
brated as a diver, died on Thursday, aged 90. Ile
would grope for fish in their holds in the banks, and
wonld often catch and throw out very large ones with
his hand.
QUKF:N-SQUAIir..-..-Friday Mr. V. G. Dowling was
brought before the Sitting Magistrate, to answer a
charge made 'ag*inst him by Mr. P. Finnerty, for a
violent assault.
The prosecutor stated, that on Thursday afternoon,
about four c'clock, he was walking along the Strand,
in company with a gentleman then present in Court,
the defendant then came up with hint, with a horse-
whip in his ham:, and witheat any notice whatever,
attacked him.
Mr. Dowling did act ,leis any part of the charge.
He sail, that he had Ley given evidence in the late
State Trial, and that t':; day before yesterday (Wed-
nesday) a paragraph had appeared in a Morning Paper,
which was a most gross, maiiguant, and false lible upon
:L' et_Mr. Finnerty was the writer of the paragraph allaled
to. Ile therefore provided himself with the here:-
whip he held in his hand, and on meeting ?qr. F. he
ackna•.vled,;ed he had inflicted the chastisement on hint
silth as much vigour as he mule:, which he thought
Mr. b.. merited.
Mc. Dowling was held to bail, in two sureties of
4401. each, himself in double the suns. Me.
gala. he should also reauire the same from Mr. F.
bu gave him time to produce them at his leisarc, in
the course of two OZ* three days.
