riots that prevailed last August, in the parish of
Saint Mary-la-bonne, under the pretext of dew:-
ing and exposing houses of ill fame, was brought op
to receive judgment, and was sentenced to be impri-
soned seven days, pay a fine of fifty pounds to the
King, and be further imprisoned until the said fine
should be. paid.
A miscreant of the name of Rolfe, who keeps a
school in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, was tried
and convicted of an assault, with the intent of viola-
ting an infant of eight years old. Sentence, thre
months imprisonment.
The Court likewise had the mortification of seeing
presented before them another, whose crime was that
of exposing himself to unprotected females in the most
disgusting way. He was also convicted upon the
clearest testimony. This wretch was sentenced to
twelve mouths in Cold-Bath-fields.

All the porters and watchmen of the Bank were on
Monday sworn in as extra constables, at the Mansion-
house.

Saturday morning, in the heavy gale at S.W. three
boats got embayed near Mount Batten in the surf,
which was dreadful. A man of war's boat, with six
men, pushed in to their assistance in a very gallant
style, and saved the boats, but were swamped them-
selves ; they providentially saved their lives by climb-
ing up the rocks.
Mr. NODDINGS, of Kirby-Moorside, having gone to
Scarbro' fair on the 23d ult. dreamt in the evening
that he was in a French prison ; in endeavouring to.,
make his escape, through the force of his dream, he
actually jumped out of the chamber window into the
street, and broke his leg.
Saturday morning, about three o'clock, a fire broke
out in a baker's shop near the new buildings, head
of Leith Walk, which was entirely burin down.
Saturday se'nnight, two convicts under sentence of
death in .Kilmainham gaol, namely,OWeil for highway
•
robbery on the banks of the Dublin canal ; and Hickey,
-for the burglary and robbery at Harold's Cross—were
launched into eternity at the front of that prison, pur-
suant to their sentence.

Sunday se'nnight, as Farmer SrionT, of Stratford•
Tony, was crossing the fields from the turnpike-road
towards his own Louse, he was stopped by two rrtn,
who robbed him cf about 451.

A woman named Pepperell, widow of the under-
gardener of the late Bishop DOCGLAS, WAS lately
drowned in the canal in the Bishop's garden, adjacent
to the Palace, at Sarum, It is \supposed she was
gathering sticks near the canal, when she slipped in,
and being old and very feeble, was unable to extri-
cate herself.

Another instance of the surprising effects of the
American Soothing Sirup :—The child of Mr. West-
'comb, 42,' Whitcomb• street, Leicester-square, was
dreadful inseutting her teeth ; with her two first she
had a total stoppage of her urine, that Dr. Themas
performed an operation on the child; she was just as
bad, with an inflammation on her lo' s, and a bad
cough, with scarce any breath, when Mr. W. applied
the Sirup to her gums—it immediately relieved the
child, anti has brought all_hcr teeth, without pain ;
the two first are quite black.—To be hRd of the Pro-
prietor, J. JoitNsov, 94, Neu man-street, Oiford-road,
and retail of Golding, 44,Cornhill, at '2s. 9d.a bottle.
