MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 3.

Healy Kirkman, an extraordinary-looking indivi-
dual, whose contour of countenance and long raven-
black locks would compete with those of the Rev.
E. Irving, was placed at the bar, on an indictment
charging him with creating divers nuisances which
ire detailed in the evidence, and enumerated in a
long indictment, which also contained a count
charging the defendant with an indecent exposure of
his person.

Mr. Joseph Hingston was the owner of certain
houses situate in College-street-west, Camden-town,
which he purchased about two years ago, one of
which was occupied by the defendant, who carried
on the business of a gold and silver refiner, and also
reduced metals sent to him by the dealers in marine
Stores. He had observed the conduct of the de-
fendant for some time, and as a proof of its nature he
would mention, that tenants who had taken houses
from the witness, had left them after occupying
them a week, and at the forfeiture of their deposits
for rent. The defendant (who had frequently been
before the police Magistrates) was in the constant
habit of firing off pistols in the middle of the night,
commencing at about eleven o'clock, and not ending
his incessant perturbation of the neighbourhood un-
til seven or eight o'clock in the morning. This,
however, was not the only nuisance which owed its
origin to the conduct of the defendant. The efflu-
via arising from the melting down of the old metal
sent to him, at most unseasonable hours of the
night, was another of the evils he had brought upon
the neighbourhood, and to such a degree did it ex-
•st, that the two houses on each side of that occu-
pied by the defendant were unoccupied and com-
pletely untenantable. Every means had been tried
with the defendant to induce him to quit, or abate
the nuisance, without effect.

Mr. Aggs, inspector of police, corroborated the
evidence of the first witness, and added, that the
obscene language used by the defendant was such as
he would not lend himself to repeat.
Mr. CONST (the chairman) asked what proof he
could produce of the second charge for an indecent
exposure.
In support of this count of the indictment, Mr.
ADOLPIII2S called two witnesses, who distinctly
proved that the defendant had, upon two occasions,
exhibited himself on the boundary wall of his pre-
mises in a perfect state of nudity.
The defendant (when called upon for his defence)
in a most theatrical tone denied that he had ever
exposed his person in the manner stated, for the
walls were covered with broken glass bottles, and
therefore it was impossible for him to walk upon
them in a state of nudity. He maintained he had a
right to amuse himself with discharging pistols in
his own premises; and over the fields ; and with
respect to the nuisance stated to arise from his melt-
ing down iron, he could only repeat that he had oc-
cupied the premises for ten years, and had never been
complained of, and that, too, when he carried on a
much more extensive trade in the melting way than
he did at present. He had nothing more to say :
as to the indecent exposure, it was all nonsense.
The Jury immediately found the defendant Guilty
on all the counts of the indictment.
The CHAIRMAN inquired if the defendant was
prepared to give up possession of the house before
the quarter-day ? The defendant (in a most vio-
lent tone)—No ! not by any means.
The CHAIRMAN—The Court fully understands
the nature of your reply, and the sentence of the
Court is, that you be imprisoned in the House of
Correction for six months. The defendant (laugh-
ing)—l shall retain possession of the house.
Mr. ADOLPHUS—No ; you have got notice to
quit. The defendant—your notice is imperfect, and
I will not give up possession.
The defendant was then removed in custody.
The remainder of the day was occupied in dis-
posing of cases of assault of no general interest, and
.he Court adjourned to Thursday next.

ISAYING AND DOING. A rnan going to
be hanged in Dublin, gave the executioner a guibea.
- Lung life to your Honour," cried the Irish Jack Ketch ;
and with no more ado, turned him off.

HAMBURG4tAPERS.

STociztroLm, AUG. 21.—News baying been re-
ceived that the cholera has again appeared at Cron-
stadt, the Board of Trade has, by a vet-elution of
the 19th instant, declared Cronstadt and St. Peters-
burgh to be infected, and all the ports of Anger-
mania, and `Vyborg, as suspected.
According to official intelligence, several uses
supposed to be cholera have occurred on board the
Chapman frigate, which returned on the 11th to
Carlscrona from a guise. This ship has been put
under quarantine, and Dr. Settenblad, with two
other physicians, has been sent from this city.
ST. PETERSBURG!!, AUG. 16.—According to of-
ficial reports from the Imperial Legation and the
Consul-General in Persia, the plague appears to have
entirely ceased in the provinces adjacent to Russia.
HAMBURG, AUG. 28.—Count Porto di Borgo
left St. Petersburgh on'the 18th, to return to Paris
by land.

Prince Adalbert of Prussia, accompanied by Cc.
lonel Von ticharnhoort, arrived• here yesterday in
thta• steam-boat from London, and after a short stay
proceeded to Berlin.
The accounts of the cholera from Rostock show
that the disorder has been very fatal there : up to
the 25th there were 440 cases, 240 deaths, and only
99 recoveries.

BERLIN, AUG. 27.—Among the foreign officers
who have came to be present at the autumnal re-
views, we remark an extraordinary number of Bri-
tish officers :—Colonel Lord Fitzelarente, Lieute-
nant-Colonels Clive, Cornwall, Dundas, and Green-
wood, Major Devereux, Lord Somerville, Lieute-
nant in the Navy, Captain Doule, &c.
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 4.—A report from Hus-
sein Pacha, Field-Marshal of Natolia, dared 9th
July, gives an account of an action between the
Turkish vanguard and the Egyptian troops under
Ibrahim, in which the latter were three times at-
tacked and repulsed; best the vanguard being weak,
could not maintain the ground it had gained, and
fell back on the main body, which was at Antiochia,
ready to advance as soon as its subsistence is
secured. The country cannot furnish any supplies
whatever, and the army must depend on its own
magnzines.

Commercial letters from Rhodes, of very recent
date, say that the Egyptian fleet WB4 still cruising off
Alexandria. The Moniteur Ottoman says, "it
seems that Mehemet does not intend to let his fleet
quit the Egyptian coast, because he fears a landing
of the Turks, which, while the country is destitute
of troops, arid the population extremely discontented,
might be fatal to him, as the Sultan's troops would
be received with enthusiasm by the Arabs?'
BstuNswrcK, AUG. 28.--The assembly of the
States of the Duchy of Brunswick was opened yes-
eddy, after art interval of 10 months, with a very sa-
tisfactory speech by M. Von Plessen, which was re-
ceived with unmixed approbation.
