MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yesterday the Sessiens commenced before Oe'
Chairman, Mr. MiwrwAßlN6, and the Bench of
Magistrates.
Satitian, a butcher,• was indi&ed for -a-
most' unmanly assault upon a young girl nand

Harris:
It appeared from the evidence, that some trifling
dispute had arisen between the children of the De-
fendant and two little brothers of the Prosecutrix,
about sweepilig the mud before their respective
.doors. The dispute of the little urchins ran so *atm-
ly, that their parents came into the street, and the
Defendant, espousing the cause of little relatives,
set upon the mother of the ,Prosecutrix, who is a
decrepid old, woman, and. her brother, whom h 6
beat most unmercifully with the broom, and then
attacked the ProsecUtrbc herself, whom he treated
with such brutal. severity, -that she fainted through
pain and terror. She was rescued from his cruelty
through the humanity of the by-standers, and con-
veyed to her mother's honse;where, after some tithe;
and with much -ditWculty, she was restored. Her
fits, however, have since frequently returned;in ,con-
sequence of the treatment she received, and to such
a degree; that medical men have given up all hopes
of her perfed recovery froth the effeas of the in-
jury she has sustained.
The Defendant adduced slime witnesses for the.
purpose of contradicting this testimony. But the
Jury, after- having heard the summing up of the evi-
i deuce by the Chairman found the Defendant Guilty,
and lie was sentenced to pay a fine of 201.

The following melanchkily ocurrence, is supposed
to have happened at about nine o'clock in 'the eve-
nihgrof the totli inst. As John Kinglake, Esq. of
&armour HOuse, in - the
,county of Somerset,
.was
ascending the batik of the river Paratt, opposite his
residence, for the purpose of going to, a neighbour's
honse, it is probable that he missed his footing; and,
from the bank being very narrow,. the night dark,
41
and the tide extremely high, that he was precipitat
.
into the river, and, unfortunately drOwned.
most 'careful and unremitting .search- for the bo ill
during several days has been unsuccessfully 10iide.
It is imagined that the slimy suostance with which'
the water of that river abounds, has deposited on, the
body so thick a coveritig,as hitherto to have eluded -
eve, y endeavourthat:has been exertect.to' discover it.
Similar instances of,concealment.pf persons drowned
in the fOul .water of the_ 'river Paratt - have been
known to occur frorn.the cause here assigned.- The
walking-stick which tile-deceased was observed to
have in his hand, on leaving his house at the time
mentinne.d, was found the feicwing morning, ork
the side of the bank towards the river. Oa his per-
son at the fatal period, were a gold watch and, a.
pocket-book, containing bank-notes to aconliderziOe
amount., This sad aceident has snatched frorn the
kindred and acquaintance of the
,deceased, an .itf-
fetaionate relative, and a valuable friend, whilst it
'has deprived the public ofan intelligent, alive, and
useful member of society, and, what, indeed, is still.

more estimable, of a .truly, honest man. •
Several casks of wine have, within the last week;
been thrown ashore, and picked up by boats on the .
western coast of the county of Kerry. A part of
the wreck of a vessel wag also.dtscovered by a haat
of Mr. Rice, rind brought to Dingle, on whist, „,„,-
fpund the Captain, his wife and child, and .maid-
servant, quite dead, and two men, part of the crew,
nearly in . the same state ; the latter, however,
.by
'proper care and attention, are now perfaly re-
_
stored. From these. men "(one of whom is a Swede,
and the other an. Italian,) it -has been learned, that
the vessel was the Lady Nelson, of Dublin, Captain
Wade, from Oporto, , for Liverpool, dashed to
pieces on SatUrday, the 14th instant, on the Lemon
Rock, between the Skelligs and the main land, awl
that her crew consisted of
,22 sailors, one man,. Iwo
.women, and a.child passengers, all.of whom peril*
ed except themselves, who were four days and nights
. exposed to hunger on the wreck, irefore,they .v eke
1 taken Op. The cargo. of, the Lady -Nelsori consisted
1 of 450, pipes of port wine, twelve of which were.
driven on shore at,Valentr,f, an 4 secured. by -Mr.'
i
I Berhill, surveyor of that port. . .

Faas are stubborn things, And cannot be too often
resorted to, when the objet of their promulgation is
the benefit of human kind, and hence it is, that phi-
lanthropists are so frequently stimulated to aas of •
public justice, in the communication of cures effeet-
.ed by the use. of •Dr. TAvi.ort's Remedy for Deaf-
ness.--J. DEDM.AN, ploughman to JAS.• IN4 'i,,l
~,tsi
Esq. of Rottingdeati, near Brighthelmstone; y. e!
been for a considerable time as. deaf as the ~ a!
which his plough turned up, an affliaion that ca,.tisOd
much trouble .to Mr.. IN .RAM, in making '
-`him
sensible of the instruaions that were occasionally ne-•
cessary in his agricultural pursuits, until a few
montlis•ago, when the- finger of Providence luckily'
pointed to the remedy ;he Applied it--was blessed
with the ,restoration of his hearing, and has ever
since perfe&ly retained the enjoyment of that blesS--
ing. The happy man, by the advice of Mr. and
Miss INGRAM,' came personally to the Office of W.
LEE, and with gratitude acknowledged the cure.--
