LOAD° Ai SESSIONS,

Yesterday John Bar lowe andlli, Lyon, the
latter a JL-w: about do years of age,, were inctidt.d
as accomplices in a high misdemeanour, with in-
tent to cdmmit a detestable crime, on the trig:.r of
the '24th of April last. The prosecutor, St.an, ton,
having .cause
,to sasped the intention of the tra-
vrrsers, watched them from Geolge-street, bet„ d
the MarisiOn House, to a dark'allev, leading from
Bearhinder-iane, in.° Lombard-street, where he de-
te:lted them in the tali ; 'secured Barlow on the
spot,. but Lyon made his escape, ,and
tor apprehended hint 'some weeks atterwards in St,
chorch-yard. The prisoners were both round
Guilty._ Lyon had been. already twice convicted of
the like offence; the first time in 1796, for which
he was imprisonei wgate three years, ati
held in recognizance, himself in 1001. and two
Sureties for 501. each, for, three years 'after the ex-
eiration of his sentence; and the second ;ime 'in
1805, when he' was sentenced to tour years impri4
w sonent and similar recoguizances. Tne Court, ia
Consideration of his being thus shewn to be an in-
corrigible offender, ordered his second recognizance
tc). be estreated, and himself to be imprisoned flue
years in I.\4:wgate, and to fi-d the liise recog-s
nizance for seven years after the expiration of his
sentence.

Barlowe, who is a young reran, and had ,been a
Gentleman's- servant, was sentenced, to two years
imprisonment, and the same recognzzances as Lyon.
2 homas Siney was indicted to; an assault with the
like Intent upon a youth named Nicholson, in
Moortields, on the 29th of April. The assault was
clearly proved. The prisoner, ,in a sane-lified tone,
made 'a long speech -in his -defence, said he was
coming from a place of worship, and that it was the
prosecutor who made 'the assault upon him. He
said he had been but three weeks in London, and
was going from the Tabernacle to his lodgings in
Tash-street, Gray's Inn-lane; but he produced no
witnesses even to charader.

Verdict—Guilty.
' The Court siitenced him to two years impri-
sonment, and the like recognizances as in the pre-
cedmg cases.

Caution against purchasing Regimental Clothes.—
Last week a fisherman at Itowlivdge was convicted
before the Magistrates at Colchester in the'penalty
of 51. for 'buying a regimental great-coat.-1( to
be hoped this may serve as a caution to others against
pirchasingisuch articles in fin me from soldiers, un-
lesS santtione,l by the presence of a non-commis-
sioned Otlicer.

i*LANCEIOLY ACCIDENT.—On the evening of
Thursday last about a hundred Dissenters assembled
together at a Meeting-house 'at Horn End, betwixt
Christchurch and Poole, to,hear the orations of a
man-of the name, of Hodges, when a part of the
roof .fell in, and tour p¢: sons were killed, besi its a
number seriously hurt. The Meeting-house form-
ed part of a barn, and . was iu a very bad stake,
inasmuch as it did not atrold a shelter from rain.
Another miscreant was taken up yesterday, for
having extorted o'ol. at various limes of a Gentleman
in Wigmore-street, unda a threat of charging him
with vicious propensities.
Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock, there was
a very tempestuous storm at Windsor, of thunder,
hail, and rain, which lasted for upwards of half
an hour., The hail-stones that fell were as big as
a common marble,'and might have been swept up
in pecks•in the streets. It has beaten all the fruit
off the trees, and cut all the peas and beans down
in the gardens in its environs. It was su very se-
vere, that it has stripped all the trees and vinese as
bad as if it had been thrashed.

• An extraordinary circumstance occurred last week
a farm in the neighbourhood of Llauelly ; a
young girl, accompanied by -her brother, driving
some cows into the tiell from milking, was attacked
by.a bull, thrown dowo, and•triirrrl,led upon ; the
boy, anxious for his sister's sa,iety, picked up a sharp
stone, which he threw at the animal, and striking
bid) between the eyes, he fell dead instantly, tl
stone being literally buried in the skull,

and Highgate the lightNing was,rtiost alarming, and
so near,' that the thunder was like 1110 roaring of
heavy artillery. Grest damage was produced by the
rain. The streets lc many parts mere impassable,
and the property of the inhabitants in their kitchens
and cellars received injury. Westminster Hall-pre-
