The Recorder of Landon did not, as
.Atated in
sorne papers, make his full. report of the conekts

. .
Under sentencs of death in Neivgate.to the PRINCE
ItZGENT fit Council, on Thursday. On account

of the numerous capital offences owl the length
of the trials, it occupied the Recorder near two
'tours in reading, when thetat being other State
business to proceed upon, the final report was
postponed to a future day.
A singular circumstance took place on Friday
se'nnight at the Barton Ferry-landing, Hull. 4
recruit, drafted for foreign service, refused to go,
and. after being forted on board the barge, ac-
tually threw himself into the water, swearing that
he would not leave his wife and family fur any
'body. Hating swam to a considerable distance,
he was taken, but no sooner placed in the barge
than he repeated his former act. During this
time the boat got under way, and left hint ; but
he once more, on being brought to land, jumped
into the water. He was retaken,, and is now in
confinement at the guard-house.
On Monday afternoon last, a considerable nutn-
ber of,persons had assembled near the Navigation
lon, at Saturday Bridge, in Birmingham, to.cele-
brace wake, calied Free. Church Wake ; a cart
and horse, at the same time, stood at the door of
the public-house,. When some person, intendilig
by way of joke, to alarm some boys who were
in the . cart, took hoid of the bridle, which
accidentally came off, and the horse taking
fright, ran away, and threw down. two boys,
who were crossing the road to avoid the cart,
the Wheels apt the cart pasSed over them, killed
one on the
,spot, and fractured the limbs of
the other in a most shocking manner.; 'the latter
was immediately conveyed to the hospital, and we
are happy to say is in a fair way of recovery ; on
the for aster a Coroner's inquisition has been taken,
when it appearing thatthe bridle coming off ivas
accidental, the 'jury returned .a verdict of
dental Death.

About three weeks ago, two youths hound
,
themselves apprentices to a ship-owner at North
Shields; his ship being at London, he sent them
thither, and from their doing some duty ,th,fr,,
soon after going on board, with great dexterity,
they were deemed, promising lads. The second
day, one of them was much distressed by a letter
he received, and they both °Wined liberty to go
on shore, but not returning, search was made
acct. them, when they were found metaruorpho4eti
into two stropping Wenches ! it appears-thry were
in chase of their sweethearts, one of whom being
drom.ned, lover returned home, but- the other
joined his.tnisttess.
