LORD =LP/LLB', TRW.

• The Conn met as ufoal nn Friday morning, and the
Lord Chancellor havinr; takerilis feat at the table, the
trial of Lord Melville was returned. Mr. Mark Sprott'
was again examined, and proved as entertaining as
on the preceding day, from the qiiaintnefs of his re-
plies.—The Right Hon. George "fierney, and Chas
Bragge Bathurli, Efq. formerly Treafurers of the
Navy, Mr. John Williams, Secretary to the Commit
linnets of Naval Enquiry, Mr. John Men:, an Officer
of the Board of Controul, Mr. George Fennel, of the
Na:y Pay Office, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. George Sehnf•
field, cif the Navy Pay Office, and Mr. WiliOn, of the
fame, were alfo examined. Mr. Bathurft and Mr.
Tierney both prntefted against leaving their feats'
among the Commons to be examined in the Wit.
mire,' Box. The latter, addreffed their Lord(hipa
upon his entering the Witneifee Box, and complained
of the refufal to examine him in the feat he had Pre-
vioufly occupied—oblerring that it was from nn per.
fonal feeling that he declined coming to be examined
like an ordinary witnefs, but from an imprellion that
it was the privilege of a Member of the Houfe of
Commons to be heard in his place.—He thould be
forty that any privilege of that nature fhonld be vio-
lated in his perfon, and he therefore took that oppor-
tunity of protelliog again', the practice.
The Court exhibited, at ulna!, a fplendid an.
diem, and, as ulna', a decided riajority in favour
of this Ladies. As Lord Melville retired, he was
again addreEd by a number of Ladies, and appeared
in good fpirrs.
The attendance ors Saturday exceeded every one
we have before witneffed; but it was contiJerably pail
eleven o'clock before the proceffion entered. The
Prince of Wal-s, and the four Royal Duke,„ as ufaal,
doled the march of the Peers, and faluted the Throne.
It was fuppnfed that the whole of the evidence fir
the profecution had been finill:wd on the preceding
day; this, however, turned out to have been a mil
take; for Mr. Whitbread it,form.:4l their Lordtbins
he had further evidence to offer. He then called wit-
neffes, and examined them relpeBing alledged ba-
lances in the hand: of Lord Melville, as Treaturer of
the Navy, IR 1784, and the years immediately fib-
fegitent. He alto examined wirndles to prove the
Noble Defendant's Intrces of emnlarnenr as Lord
Advocate, Keeper of the Signet, &c. in Scotland,
and the Managers then clo'ed their evidence.
Sir Samuel (homily began to Cum up the whole of
the evidence at half pail twelve, and concluded a
little before four o'clock, having fpnke about three
hours and twenty minutes. The Court adjourned
till Tirefday morning, when Mr. Plumer is to enter
upon the defence.

Lord Melville continued attentively fixed nn the
Orator doling the whole of his addrcfs. His Lord•
'hip, after the Winds of the day was over, converted
rely cheerfully with fiveral of the Peers and Pcerelres.

The Aniverfary Meeting of the Governors of the

On Saturday Jane Brown was brought before Sir
W. 'AWES, at Guildhall, charged with Reeling a fe-
male infant, the daughter of James Colman, a Shop-
keeper in Field-4ot, Holborn. It appeared the
chili was playing, between fin and (even o'clock on
Friday evening, on Holborn hill, when the pritorser
rbferved by a woman who keels' a gingerbread-
fiall near the foot, to take the infant in her arms.
On being questioned refpetling the child, the faid the
was gaming to take it a (bort way, and would quickly
bring it back. It afterwards appeared, the firipped
the frock and petticoat off the child, and took it to
Clerkenwell Workhoufe, where the left it with a tale
of feigned Mares. In paffing through Baldwin's.
gardens, the met with a perfon to whom the incau-
tioufly related the circumflance of having put a child
in the workhoufe, which led to a difcovery of her
condos, and the fame evening fhe was taken into
cuffing.

AbOnt nine o'clock on Saturday night, an alarm.
ing fire broke out in Bear•alley, Fleet Mtllkq, at the
honk of Mr. Steptoe, a butcher, vats has likewtfe a
(boo in the market. The accident happened in con-
let:pence of the maid fervant imprudently leaving the
candle with the children after the had put them to bed,
which praftice is, unfortunately, too prevalent. The
girl went out for Come porter, and on her return found
that the flames had not only confumed the bed cur-
tains, but had reached the bed room door ; the made
every effort to gain admifLon, but finding it imprac-
ticable, immediately gave the alarm, when every one
became anxious for the fafety of the children. Every
endeavour, however, to Cave them, unfortunately
proved fruitlefs, and the children, three of them, the
eldeß eleven years of age, were burnt to death. A
fourth child, an infant of nine months old, was pre-
ferved by the mother, whom up from the market,
and Caved her child's life at the imminent rifk of her
own; Ike is now moil clangeroufly ill. The appear.
ance of the fire at the early part of its career was
extremely awful, and teemed to threaten the adjoin-
ing houfes with deftruCtion ; but from the timely
affiliaoce of the firemen, who exerted themfelves in a
becoming manner, it loon began to lofe its alarming
afpee. The houses on each fide were much damaged,
particularly Mr. Lines's, who has 101 l a confiderable
quantity of his furniture. Parties of the Third Lon-
