and therefore it is certainly incumbent upon Sir

CLARKE says, " Jaffa; appeared to be almost in as
forlorn a state. as Rama.; I,lle, an :itself was still
infected with the . smell of un'tviried bodies. We.
went to the house of the En fish Consul, whose

remains of bodies in the sand, and Captain CUL

to 'euman bodies or those of cattle, removed a part
of the sand with his sxord, and uncovered part
of a hand and arm. Upon this, calling to our
friends, we told them what we had discovered,
and retnteecng to the Consul's-house, asked him
the cause of the revolting spectacle we had wit-
nessed-.-He told us that these were the remains
of bodies 'carried thither during the late plague
for interment,. but 'that the .sea, frequently re-
moving the sand, which covered them, caused
them to be thus exposed ; and be cautioned us in
future against walking that way, as the infection
might possibly be ketained, not only by those bo-
dies, 'but by the clothes and other things there de.

An interesting occurrence took place at Volk-
ingtani on Tuesday evening se'nnight.---A poor
woman, who had obtained a pass-liiitet to remain
there all night, was sitting by the fire in the
kitchen of the Greyhound inn, with an infant
child at her breast, when two Chimney-sweeps
carte in, who had been engaged to sweep- sonic
cf the chimneys belonging to the Inn earlynezt
=io-rnitig.. They-were, according to custom, treat-
ed. with a supper, which they had began to eat,
when the younger, a boy about seven years of age,
Ifq-pening to cast his eyes upon the Avorgan
-(who- bad been likewise vie Wing them nvitli a tix'ed
attention from their first entrance), suddenly start-
ed up, and exclaimed in a frantic tone—" .That's
my Mother and immediately flew ,into her
arms ! It 'appeared that 114. r name is Mary Bavis,
and- that she is the wife of a private in the 2d re-
' giment of Fcot Guards, now serving in the Penin-
sula; she resides iu Westminster ; her husband •
quitted her to 'embark for foreign service on thc
20th of last January; and on the 28th of the same
13fallth she left her son' in the care of a woman who
ccetipied the front rooms of her house, while she
went to wtsh'for a family_in the neighl,ourhood
on her return in the evening, the woman had 7de-
camped with her son, and, notwithstanding every.
effort was made to discover their retreat, they bad
not since been heard of; but having lately been in-
formed that the woman was a native of Leeds, 4irie
had come to the resolution of going there in
search-of her child, and with this view had walk-
er! ?roan London to Folkingham, a_distance of 100
'milts, with an infant not more than 6 weeks old
in her arms. TLe boy's master stated, that about
the latter end of last January he met a woman..and
boy in the Vicinity of Sleaford, where he resides;
Si::appeared very ragged, and other Wise much dis-
trosed,n and. was at that time beating tone boy
most severely; "she .then accosted him (the mas-
ter}, saying she was in great distress, and a
long way from home, andiafter some further pre-
. liminary conversation, said, if he would give her 2
guineas to enabled her to get home, she would bind
her son apprentice to him; this proposal was agreed
to, and the briy was regularly indentured, the wo-
man-having previonsly made affidavit as to being
his own mother—., This testimony was corrobo-
rated by the 'boy himself ; hut as no doubt re-
mained in. the_mind of

boy's -real mother, his without any far-

. bitants interested themselves very humanely in the
poor wom:zn's behalf, by not only paying her
coach fare back to London (her children having

collecting for her the sum of two pounds five

POLTCE.

~Ttl,DttAt.i..—Several of the light7fingrerect gen-
try, who had been extremely active in the pursuit
of their a-.-ocations in St. tarthOlOtheiv Fair) were
yesterday brought to this.ofiiee.
Joh.4 Lawrence was charged by Mr. Nader, the
Deputy City Marshal, with beini, a reputed thief,
and with -being found amongst ther crowd in the
fair, endea'vouring to glean a-few trifles in the way
'of pocket-books and watches. Lieveral pocket-
handkerehiels ivere found in his nos'session but
as no prosecutor appeared, he was rernanded.untii
Tues{—layl lest he might be tempted to commit
some serious acts of depredation during this season
of revelry.
Ti.!zomas Raylis was fully committed to take his
trial, for picking the 'pocket •of John Latimer, in
the :fair on the pre ceding night, of a pocket-book.
He was caught in the fact by Chamberlaine, the.
officer, and endeavoured to exr.-dr himself by
stating, that the bOok had fallen np into his grand
from the pocket of the prosecutor.
,Solonictit
.80/oinans, charged v:ith cutting the
se,d froin a gentleman's. watch with a knife, was
rzYmanderl till Tuesday; as were johil lluggins and
John Harris, chara;ed to be pickpockets.

. .
A person, of themime of "John iliorgan) who
:Stated himself to be amaster painter and glazier,
residing in White-street, Spital-fields., charged
yrith a cruel assault, on arespectable looking boy,
not mare than 11 years-.of age, named William
Xiisbey, nishew, to Mr. Kilsbey, of- Windmill-
street, St. John-street. It appeare,l from the
Btdtpinent of the child, that as he was ;passing
tip.ongh•the fair on the preceding night; about a.
quarter after nine, he was very-muchpushed,.and
in endeavouring to - extricate himseit, be acci
dentally put his hand against the prisont."2r ; who,
with the ferocity of a tiger, turned'round, seized
him by the hair, forced his lingers into his mouth,
tore out one of his
,teeth, and dragged away a
great-part of the qlveolary- procvss of the jaw; 1;e--
Mes leaving other sanguinary marks of ,h is nails
on the_ child's face and neck. Air. 'saltier declared
that he never saw a i4n_ conduct lihnelf, in all
;respects 'more like a savage, both- at the time. of
the assault alleged, and in his au bsequent con-
duct, when taken before Mr. Holdsworth, at the
Ram Inn.

The friends of the .child at-tended, and said,
that as they understood the prisoner had a wife
and a large family, they were disposed to forego
a prosecution, upon condition of his giving a sum
of money to a charitable institution, and acknow-
ledging hii error. This the prisoner agreed to do,
and he .was directed by Sir John Lanier ;to pay
two guineas to the Marine Society, and to be de-
tained.in custody till it was paid.
,Bow-STREET.—Yesterday, Jacklini who was
tliAccted a few night's since in Brentford,' with
loaded pi“olt, supposed to be for the purpose
of house-brewl9ng,. was brought to the OlEce fur
firtber examination. •

Mr,. Nmlts inquired if he had eiterobeen 'ton-
vieted, and was answered that he had not'; but
it was ascertained that he had been several tiniel
in custody.
cave, the patrolc, stated, that on the evening
preceding the night of the prisoner being appre._.
tended, be saw him in a chaise-cart, on the roam
to Brentford, it comoany with a 11- ko w thief'
of the name of 81'yl,n, and another thief, whdse
name he did not snow. .

Mr. NARE':, called upon the prisoner to account
for his having the il.3telunents found on him;
when lie said, that he and bie3 brother-in-law were
engaged in a violent dispute, respecting 11 houses
in :117ssaninster, ore of which he occupied, and
crrica the loaded. oktols to defend himself.
,A Magistrate, sitting by the side of Mr. NAnEs,
who resides at Brentford, stated, that when he
was brought before him on the morning after be
was apprehended, his defence was then quite dif-
ferent ; he then gated, that as he had 3/. in his
posSessoti, he had aright to carry loaded pistols.
'..:;AP„ss eonyicted him as krogue and vaga-
bond, trade,. the 23d of George lit; for having
the loadtel'pktols in his possesion, with an intent
to commit felony. e •
Bo tar;-sTr, E n Wed n esday - afternoon, a
person .:tyus brought in the custod of another man;
who stated that, he had met his prisoner in the
street, and had brought him there in' conseqUence
of his basing defrauded him 'of a rum of money
soma time since. On NARE3 inVeMigatillg
the charge, be discovered that the transaction
ameamted to a debt ; and on -an eXplariatiOn of
the connection of the.parties, it appeared,' that
the
.man who had been brought in custody,
had given evidence against the other, -as being
concerned with the late Colonel Despard, and his
condut in endeavouring to convert a debt into a
fraud was a matter of revenge. The male who
brought the ether a prisoner was in consequence
ordered to find bail for the assault.
MAneßonourin-sTREFer.-e7-• Daniel Livermore, a
coachman, NvaS. charged with an assault on
wife. The parish of St. George, in conjunction
with the Directors of Middlesex Hospital, were
the prosecutors for the injured woman on this
occasion, —.lt appeared by the testimony adduced
that, fin. a long. time, the wife of the delentaet
bad slifferedea series of cruelties, which had es-
caped legal notice*; but the last case of this de-
scription. was such as necessarily gave rise to in-
cuiry. The poor woman had received a fractiereki
skull from the violence of her husband, which, did
trot,: providentially; deprive her of life, but re-
duced her to a state of insensibility., and she
remained so several days without being able to
give any account of what caused the,torpor under
which she laboured. The lensband was committed,
in default of bail until the Sessions. '

A singular phenomenon was to' be seen last
month, in a, garden at Niort, in the department of
Deux Sevres, in France : the branches on one side
of a plumb tree were loaded with ripe' fruit, while
that OD the ether side was hardly formed.
