ENTERPRISE STEAM VESSEL.—The voyage of the Enirr.

undertaking, has attracted very general interest. She was last
heard Of on the 21st ult. Lisbon, bearing S.E. 25 miles, ard

Johnson's own account of his voyage up to that date

Enterprise, Aug. 21.
" We left Falmouth on Tuesday evening, Aug. 16, at seven.
o'clock, with the wind from the westward ; and at 10 o'clock I
took my departure from the Lizard Lights, and shaped a course
directly for Cape Ortegal. We are now about seven miles to►.
the northward of Lisbon. After leaving the Lizard, we Lad
moderate breezes, accompanied by a very heavy swell from the
west, but the lugs kept her steady, and eased the engine, which
on their beingg, set, increased its velocity from 20 to 24 strokes in
a minute. On Friday it blew a hard gale from the eastwar;l ;
we were weathering for eight or nine hours in the most disad-
vantageous position, with the sea right a-beam : here the spend-
ings were of great use, in keeping; off the sea, which they did
most effectually. We made Cape Ortegal at 10.30. with a fresh
S.W. wind a-head. We are going seven knots : the engines
have never ceased since Tuesday. I shall keep the steam up
till I reach the Trades, I hope on Tuesday next, when I shall
be prepared with good sails, to take advantage of the wind,_
All hands are well and highly delighted. P.S. Sunday, 10 a. m.
Lisbon S.E. 25 miles, going eight knots."

CHARGE OF RIOT.
Henry Adams and John Dilly surrendered on an indictment
against them and four others who did not appear, charging
them with having, on the 23d March last, illegally caused a
riot in the Parish of St. Ann, Liniehouse.
Mr. ADOLPIIIJS stated the case to the Jury, as proved by
several witnesses, from whose general testimony it appeared.
that a man, named Jonathan' Saul, held a house and shop in
Limehouse-causeway, where he carried on the business of
a butcher. The house was held in law by a person
named Barker, and the lease being expired, he, en
the morning named in the indictment (having previously
uttered a threat to that effect), in company with the two
defendants, one of whom, Dilly, is a constable, came and
commenced pulling the house down about the ears of Mr. Saul's
sister, who was in a very advanced state of pregnancy, and
succeeded in their object, against all remonstrance, having, in
the course of devastation, destroyed about 30/. worth of meat
which hung in the shop; for this injury the indictment was
found.

Mr. ALLEY took an objection to the indictment, contending
that no riot vas proved. _

Considerable legal discussion arose upon the point of law,
and the Court held the case was not one of the kind with wh'ch
the Court had any particular jurisdiction, and consequently the
defendants were acquitted.

PUBLIC PUNISIINIENT.—OII Saturday mot 11•134
last Daniel Leveridge, Henry Oliver, Henry Barton, Pla!lip
Ward, and Thomas Driscoll, all convicted, at the last April
and May Sessions, of uttering base and counterfeit coin, und r_
went their second public whippings, in the presence of the
Sheriffs and their Officers, and a very large crowd of spec-
tators, at the House of Correction, in Coldhath„fieltlx. 'The
punishment was not a nominal one, and the convicts ap-
peared to feel very sensibly both the degradation of their
situations and the pain of the flagellation. There are se-
veral persons undergoing their sentences of imprisonment and
hard labour in the House of Correction, for various terms,
for the like offence, but who were spared the disgrace of a
public whipping, in the hope that, as these are their first of-
fences, they may be led to reform, and become useful members
of society, instead of being held out as examples to others. That
these men, however, might know the nature of the punishment
which will undoubtedly be inflicted on them, in case they arc a
second time convicted of this crime, Mr. Vickery, the Governor
of the prison, very considerately ordered them to be placed in a
situation from whence they viewed the whole proceedings; and
M r. Sheriff Brown afterwards said a few words to them, expressive
of his hope that they would be taught, by the scene they had just
witnessed, to abstain in future from crime. and seek their living
by honest industry. We were happy to learn that the cor-
poral punishments which have been inflicted on such as have
been convicted, and the threatening denounced of a similar
sentence upon all who shall be convicted in future of the crime
of uttering bad money, have been very useful in diminishing
the crime. It is an offence of a peculiarly aggravated nature,
as it implies deliberation, and the parties chiefly injured by it
are the poor who can least afford it.

THE MURDER OF JOHN GUY.-This morning
a young man named William Milan alias Tallow, against
whom the Coroner's Inquisition returned a verdict of Wilful
Murder, in having killed a man named John Guy, a carter, in
a pugilistic rencontre in Jews'-row, Chelsea, about G weeks since,
was put to the bar of Queen's-square office, before Mr. Mark-
land and 11r. Gregorie, Magtstrates,on the. Coroner's war-
rant. The prisoner is a young man, about 20 years of age, and
has been living since the committal of the alleged crime in
Castle-lane, Jews'-row, Irlsea, and from the circumstance
of the whole of the police being on the look dirt for him, to-
gether with the remorse he felt at being accused of the murder,
surrendered himself this morning to Pople and Handley. the
officers, for the purpose of taking his trial at the ensuing Ses.
sions. He was accordingly committed.

The inhabitants of the Metropolis will, it is
said, soon be astonished by the sight of a balloon, which has
been so constructed as to be guided in the air. The inventor
intends to go up himself, and to take a given journey of 50
miles and back in the same day.
At the Chester Assizes, William .Leighton, for
picking pockets, at Congleton, was sentenced to be transported
fbr life.—The prisoner, on sentence being passed, in the most
audacious manner, called out to the Judge, and snapping his
fingers, said, " 1.11 toss you, hang or quit."
On MOnday, as an inmate of the west-kirk
poorhouse was being carried to the grave, the coffin had been
so carelessly constructed, that it fell to pieces, and exposed
the corpse, which had to be carried by porters to the church-
yard almost quite naked, when it was thrown in, and hastily
covered with earth.—(Stirling Journal.)
A seaman belonging to the Windsor Castle, of
bad character, and one who was considered to disgrace his Ma-
jesty's Navy, after various means had been tried to reclaim
him, was, on Thursday last, drummed out of the Fleet. This
`imposing ceremony was performed by the culprit being placed
in the ship's boat, with his hands tied before him, a halter
about his neck, and a paper, on which was described his of-
fence, fastened to his back, and rowed alongside every man of
war in our harbour, the drummers in the boat s.4eetly sere-
nading him with the honourable air, the " Rogaw's March."—
After he had gone through this pleasing round, h was landed
at Mutton Cove, with his paraphernalia, amidst the laughs and
sneers of a great number of persons assembled.—( Devonshire
Freeholder.)
