. On Monday night, about twelve o'clock, the Doke
of CtiMBESLA Nb S apartments, in St. James's Palace,
were discovered to be on Are. The discovery was
/bade by a servant of Mr. GORDON, who residesin
the apartments adjoining to his Royal Highness's,
by the body of smoke and smell of fire that had got
into the rooms. He gave the alarM, and it was found
to proceed from the very large fires in the stoves,
used to cook the dinner. Notice was given to the
labourer in trust of the Palace, who, with a number
of men always sits up all night, on the Celebration
of the Birth-days. He brought the Palate' engine,
and after ripping up some boards in Mr. Gordon's
apartments; and getting the engine'to play, he got
it under in a, short time without doing much damage.
, The Mcarid G#eite, of October, 1806, gives .an
Account of the return of Dr. Francis. Xavier Balmis,
Surgeon Extraordinary to the King of Spain, from
a voyage round the world ; taken ter the sole pur-
pose of conveying the benefits of vaccination to all
the transmarine possessions of the Crown PlSpain,
And other countries in their vicinity. This expedi-
tion set out from Corunna,.in November, 1803,
carrying eut,22 children who never had the sniall-
Tiox, as the means of preserving, in due efficacy,
the vaccine matter, by successively transmitting it
from one to another, during the voyage. It stopped
at'the Canavie.s, at Porto Rico, and at the-Caraccas :
in that province it was divided • ) t« 0 blanches,
one destined for South Americ the other for the
Havanuah and Yucatan. T atter, by a sub-divi-
sion, spread vaccination through_ New Spain ; and,
uniting again at 'Vera Cruz, proceeded, with .26
'fresh children, across the Pacific Ocean, to the Phi-
lippine Isles, where this salutary disease was propa,-
gated thrOugh ail the islands subjea to Spain, and
among the natives of, the Visayan Archipeiagoi It
theuee-reacheLL Macao and Canton, where it Was
s'accclsful in•bringing the matter m an active state,
in which the English practitioners had hitherto fail-
ed. Balmis proceeded for Europe in a Portuguese
vessel, and:touched at St. Helena, where he pre-
vailed upon the English Settlers-to adopt vaccination,
which they. had before negleted, though communi-
eated to them by Dr. Jenner. The branch of the
expedition- sent to South America, though it un-'
derwent shipwreck, was successful. in 'saving. the
children, and the matter, in an active -state, and
spread Vaccination widely in New Granada, from
whence,' in March, 1805, it proceeded to Peru.
At Up-park,,in Sussex, the seat of Sir H. AA-

triait';'l7l:)`on-ei was indied for stealitrg, from on
hoard We Trafalgar barge, 1.541b5. weight of lead,
the property of the-East India Company.
Robert Knight, Quarter-Master of the Worcester
Itidiaman, 'swore, that on the 15th of December,
the PriSoner, with several others,: were hired to work
as-lumpers on board the Worcester, then lying at
Blackwall; alongside of which vessel the Trafalgar
lay ; she had then on board several tons of pig lead,
the property'of the East India Company the
evening be discovered one of the pigs of lead con-
cealed beneath the cable of, the Worcester. Con-1
ceiving it to be removed from. the barge by some of
the Jumpers, he concealed it in anotherpart.of the
vessel. In the morning, the. Prisoner and three
.others were observed very busy, searching the yes-
'se' for the lead. Soon after the Witness saw the
:Prisoner in the a& of cutting it with a saw, to-render
it more. convenient to carryoff;. and when the Wit- H
ness expostulated with theiPrisoner, and represent-
ed the impropriety of his conduet, he replied,
" Dam'me, I know you're down to it, .but
splice it, if you don't' blab." The Witness. assured
him, he would neither partake of the Crime nor the
emolument, and immediately sent for an Officer,
who took him into custody.
Several other witnesses were called to prove 'the
lead the property of the East India Company, which
being satisfa&orily established, the Jury found the
Prisoner Guilty.
Thomas Mason was indieted for stealing from his
employer, a fat-Mei-near Hendon, in compAnY wit,h
WM. Roden, not yet taken, 37.1russes of hay. They
were observed about four o'clock in the morning, by..
a watchman, Mason drivi a team laden with hay,
.and Roden following at a distance. . The watchman
• stopped the cart; and demanded a reason for the Pri-
soner appearing with it at so early an hour; declaring it
should not proceed till the owner hirnselt appeared:
The Prisoner called Borten, who, he told the watch-
man, was the owner. Boden came up in a great pas-
sion, and demanded the Prisoner's whip, with which
he sworehe would knock tine watchman down if he
would not permit the cart to pass. The .Prisoner then.
drove off the cart, and was not taken till next day.
The Fay was proved to'be the property of the farmer;
and the Prisoner having nothing to urge in his de-
fence, was found Guilty.
James Lloyd was also found Guilty of stealing five
pounds weight 'of cheese from the shop of Mrs. ,
Gates, Prescot-street, on the 2oth. of Decetviber last.
The Prisoner, NA ho appeared extremely indigent,
professed he was coin, riled to it by hunger. •
The RECORDER, passed sentence of death upolvthe
seventeen Prisoners following : ,
Robert Grig, James Field, Thomas Ward, Eliza-
beth Stacey, Frederick Smith, alias Henry St. John,.
Catherine M‘Carthy, John Fordhain, John Harvey,

LEWES, JAN. 19.—At the Sessions for the Eastern
Division, which eornmenced here on Friday morn
ing, the most prominent trial was that of Joins
Greenfield, of Brighthehnstone, which created great
interest from the circumstances ittctiding it. It was`
nine o'cloc':: in the evening vitert it commenced,.
and was not concluded-till past one in the morning-.
Mr. ROE opened the pleadings, and the eircutii-'
stances of the case which gave rise to. the indi
Were stated by Mr. COURTnORPE. Mr. Greehri,std,.
in 1782, at the age of Qs', and then -a journeyman
carpenter, married his wife, the object of his cruelty,
who was at that time A years of age. She had
been affliaed twice with
,a paralytic strokelafter I;te
marriage, and, during ber extreme ill slate of health,-
Was so cruelly negleaed•bv the Defendant, that she
became a slght dreadful to behold,. without .a bed,
and with nothing but rags to cover her ; and With;
ulcers on her legs and back, which had been sutler-
ed to ,breed maggots,. from' tire cruelty' and 'w,:int,of '
attention on the. part of her husbaild. Information
haVing been given to some medical persons, she was -
:removed to the Workhouse, where, in about a fort-
night after her removal, she died. These were the
great outlines of -the case. .Several-medical Gent le-
inch,,and
,others, were called. to prove the abc,ve.fitels,
and the wretched state under which • she laboured
when they advised her remoVal to the Poor-house.
The case beingelosed far the prosecution,
Mr. SEnowicx addre'ssed the Court on'the part of
the Defendant. He'exhorted the Jury to dismiss from
teir minds everyinipre,ssion they might have receiv-
ed before they entered the door tsf the Court. The
Defendant had married his wife,-then the widow of an
,inn-keeper, when she was about fifty-six, and much
older than himself, but not for her fortune,for he had.
but the furniture of the inn, and some'reversionary _
property,. not a'nounting, in all be ever received, to
more, titan 3801. ; not
,marrying her „Ifiereforf:- for
wealth, he could have married her only from, affec,7,'
tiou or prudence. But he was then, and still is,
only a journeyman carpenter, and worked for his,
daily bread. had lived with his wife full
twenty years, for she died at" the age of 76 ; and
he would prove, from the most respea-lable
wit-
nesses ' that were in habits of conStent intimacy
with her that she had every comfort his cir-
cumst,nces would afford ; that she had a female
servant to attend her ; and this unfortnnate man,'
her husband, himself attended her during all her
illness, and through all the dreadful debility brOughtT
on her by 'two paralytic strokes, in the last of which i.
she lost entirely the use of her leg and right arm;
that be dressed her with his own hands,' and pro- •
cured and,appiied daily the ointments :she Tegqire4,;, 1.
that the state to which she was reduced was the con-
sequence of her great age and long-con:inned weak
tress aid malady, and of the aftlielions with which
she was visited-by a hand that no mortal can restrain
or controul ; that it was most unjtist.to ascribe to the
husband's cruelty and uegleel. that ',vhich was the
result of his poverty and inability; co; be Was him-
Seirreduced to the necessity of requiring relieffront !
the parish,; that he could not do More titan he did
was his misfortune, and not his crime.

SEOGWICK .prectieci to call several wit-
nesses, who proved, that during their long inter
course. with the Defendant and his wife she was
much aftlitied. with disease; that ishe never corn,
plained of anysnegled or cruel treatment on the part
of her husband; but always stated ttiat'she had suf,
hcient. The testimony to this effe(-t went-op to the.
period of her removal to New Steiue-street, which
was six weeks before bier reinov3l to the.por)r-lieuse.
the Jury, after sonic- deliberation, returned their
verdici—Guilty of 3/4:4-lea and Crue'lly; :and the
judgment of the Court, . in cOnsequence, was, that
the
.Detendant should.be.confined in the House Cif
•
Currettion for the space of twelve months.

The following instance of most unnatural con-
' chia in a father is mentioned in the Slatfordshire
Advertiser, of Saturday last. One Geerge Allen, a
labourer, at Upper Mayfield, in that county, who has
.been for some tithe past subjea to epileptic fits, and
was ill the whole of the pieceiling week, appeared
to be quite, recovered of his illness on Monddr. He
went to beg at his thual.titue, and was found by his
wife sitting
up -in bed; smoking
.pipe according
to custom., .There were three children in another;
bed in the room, • oue of them a boy about ten, the
second a girl of six, and'the third a boy only three
years. of age the wife had an infant at her breast.
He questioned her twice abOut softie otherman
who be supposed had been in the house; the Wife
,assured him that no man had been in that house
but himself, asserting her".; innocence. in the most
solemn manner ; however he persisted in his accu-
sation. The rest of -the story is almost too shock-
•ing even to mention ; but the substance of it is that
with the greatest composure imaginable, he at-
tempted at first to , kill his children with a razor.
On' the wife attempting to 'prevent. him, he cut her:
throat, but not thick handkerchief which
she had tied round her head and under her chin
saved tier life. She ran out and alarmed her neigh-
bours; but he, in the interim, accomWlished his
horrid purpose—the three children were all .found
dead. Whtin tha fellow was taken into custody he
said, with the most hardened apathy, that it was
his intention, if he had not been prevented, -to have
killed his wile and all the children, an old woman,
that lay bed-ridden in the house, and then hiMself;
On Wednesday last an Inquest Was held before
Enoch Hand, Esq. 'of Utoxeter. He there again
confessed his guilt, but without the smallest symp-
tom of compundion or remorse. He even had the
bardit-;ood to observe to- the Coroner, that he sup-
"
posed it was as bad a case as be had ever heard of.
Yet it is remarkable that this man had long :had the
Chat-advr of an honest industrious man, and lived in
the greatest harmony with his wife for the space. of
, seventeen years.

On Monday an Inquest was held on a'child at
Shadwell, who, being left alone in a room, drank
some boiling water from the spout of a tea kettle,
and died soon after. The Jury returned a verdial of
Apcidenial Death. -•

The Military Schools at' Marlow andWycVnbe,
will, we understand, 'as soon as The convenient arj.
rangernents are made, be removed to Winchester.

An apartment of .the above description, sixty feet
in length, and of a proportibnable width,, is now.
fitting-up for a Nobleman. Eight feet in the length :
of the room has been taken ofrie forma recess,
afir the manner _'of the ancient chantries in the
King's" College, Cambridge. The" object or, this
improvement is to form two grand entrances, eight
feet in width, and situated opposite to each-other,:
communicating ,with the dining-room. The roof:
of this part of the room consists of a series of arches,
whose centres are the different side-buttresses. To
' those who arc acquainted with King's College, a
description of this roof, which bears an exaat simi-
litude to the one in that Chapel, is unnecessary.---.
From ,the centre groin of the roof hangs a
.superb
'cbandelierrof Gothic ornattent, worked in or-molu.
The sides of this romp are divided and sub-divided
into Gothicrcompartments of raised work to imitate
oak. The centre is occupied by, a noble set of ma-
hogany dining tables, supported on a Gothic, frame
of carved oak. The chairs are likewise of oak, ela-
-borately carved ,in Gothic work, and highly var-
nishect. , The seats; containing purple morocco
leather cushions, are very handsome and apprOPriate.,
On each side of the,chimn6- are placed two %cry
handsome sideboards,-supported" on a framti-work,
containing' Gothic niches, with figure; after the an-
tique. A very massive cellaret and wine cooler are
placed under each sideboard. 'The on .this
side of the room, contain grOl/thd Gothic niches, in
which are placed Baronial figures as large as life.
This born is principally illuminated by tvC-q') chande-
liers suspended over the dining-tables, one at each,
end. The stove in the chimney represents a Gothic
vase, which is placed on a pedestal of marble. There
are three windoWs, groined *en-suite with the chan-
tery entrance. The curtains are composed of su-
perfine purple cloth, trimmed with yelloW silk lace
of a Gothic pattern. The carpet .is wove at Ax-
minster, after the pattern of .the grOund-work of •
King Henry the SixtWsCliapo at Cambridge.
