SURREY SESSIONS, OCT. 26.

The Grand and Traverse Juries having boo
sworn, the CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the Grand
Jury, and regretted that the calendar was so heavy,
yet he was happy there was nothing of a very hei-
nous nature which would be submitted to their coa•
sideration.

sentenced him to fourteen years' transportation.
Elizabeth Temple, a woman of the town, ss'
indicted for stealing on the 27th September, from
the person of George Evans, a watch and appen-
dages, his property.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty.
The CHAIRMAN said that street-robberies by pros-
titutes were of late so frequent, that it was necessary
an example should be made to deter others, and the
Court sentenced her to be transported for life.

?wick, was indicted for stealing 12 cheeps' trotters,
the property of her employer, Robert Beverley, a
fellinonger, on the 19th ult.

DOCTOR DODDRIDGE'S PRIVATE COR'

made acquainted with the private character, and to be
admitted to the private moments and thoughts of cele-
brated Personages. In the present work this privilege ie
accorded to the reader, and although the Author of the
Family Expositor appears in a new' light, the effect wilt
be to increase, if possible, the feelings of reverence and
affection with which his memory is cherished by the pious
and the good.

On Monday last, the University of Glasgow
conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws on JOHN Dr-
mocr, Erg. of the Grammar School of that city, formerly
Rector of the Grammar School of Kelso, author of a " Life
of George III.," and of improved editions of " Caesar,"
" Sallust," " Ovid," &c. &c.—Scotsman.

BYDROPHOBIA.—About six weeks ago a
child, four years old, was bit in the cheek by a dog, not
at the moment supposed to be in a rabid state, in the

the wound, and all promised well, until Wednesday lot,

which, upon being produced, occasioned violent spar"'
The little sufferer was immediately taken to the County
Infirmary, where, every hour, despite of all medical aid,
the symptoms became snore alarming, and on Saturday

smothered between beds.—Limerick Evening Post.

for the great majority of whose families there is no pub

country in the hour of danger and of death, with the as-
surance that those they lore most dearly will have some
resource to meet the exigences of pressing want, and ulti-

tear of gratitude to drop to the memory of those who have
provided for them.--Hampshire Telegraph.
