SURREY QUARTER SESSION 'S\

COmthenced on Tuesday last at Kingston, and'
finished on Saturday.; thirty six prisoners were
tried, five of whom were sentenced for tranvorta-
don, several for various terms of imprisonment, and
one to be pilloried..
One case particularly arrested ocr attention.
Mellon, a chimney-sweeper, was indicted for assault::
ing and cruelly treating his apprentice.
It appeared that about six weeksago, two Gentle-
men returning home from Surrey square up West-
morland-row, VValworth, they heard * flint cry; as
of a 'person in distress. 'Humanity prompted them
to inquire the cause; and on entering the 'house
from whence the cry proceeded, they discovered a
boy suspended froth abeam by the wrist of his right
hand, and his left hand and foot tied together. In
this dreadful situation it appeared' that he had also
been flogged on his back in a severe manner. They
called for assistance, when the boy was taken'away
by Mr. Snow, the superintendant of the watch,- and.
conveyed to the humane care of the Master ofNew-
ington workhouse. The boy's master was then
taken into custody,
,and after a full. examination
fully committed for trial. The prosecution was
carried on by the Gentlemen of Newington,; and
the Jury having found bim'Guilty,. the Recorder,
after a very impressive and adtnonitory address,
pronounced sentence of six months. imprisphment in
the County Gaol, and to stand in and upon the
lory near St. George's Church, on Tuesday the I.3th
inst.. (Yesterday).

MARQUIS rf DOWNSIJIRE.

Whos.'er thou art by sorrowing custom led
To trace the mansions of the'kindred dead,
Forbear awhile to shed the bootless tear,
Think; if thou canst, that Downshire moulders here
'Cold is that heart which late with.feeling burn'd,
toy'd with the, joyous, With the mourner mourn'd ;-
That hand no more the soothing balm shall yield,
Which knew to proffer bOunty unleiveal'd :
Thus Unprotraae:d was thy mortal spin !
they.lov'd the Noble who bu't knew the Man. - ' .
Thy-self eclips'd what title's could bestow,
" For thou holdst that within which passeth sheW."

On Friday the 2d -of ,Odober, the Perthshire
Oentlemen and Yeomanry .Regiment of Light Dra
goons, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Com-
mandant the Earl of Ktr4Notil., were in quarters'
at Perth, and went through their manoeuvres in a.
very mastery' stile; and the:whole Regiment
lunteered; much to their, honour, their services to
any part of the United Kingdoms of Great'Britain
• and Ireland.
Lord DUPLIN and Mr. FRANCIS HAY. were in
the' ranks.
Among many other patriotic offers lately made
to Government .for the defence of the country, we
mention, with particular pleasure, that of, the Ship
Carpenters, Rope-makers, Joiners, Block-makers,
and others occasionally employed in the-refitment of
IVjajes(9's Ships at Leith, who, to the number
of 250 and upwards, voluntarily offered to be
•frained to the use of the great guns, and of pikes,
in-defence of the town and port of Leith ;• requiring
only arms to be furnished on the part of Govern-
ment (which were to be deposited in His Majesty's
naval Yard as a place of safety), the, Men themselves
declining all pay from Government, and their ma-
sters , generously sacrificing the time necessary ,to
train the,rn ; by which means a very large andef..
feaive force would 'thus have been raised, without
any expellee whatever to Government.
