ROYAL MILITARY ASYLUM.
Tip interruption of our inquiries, by the expiration of the Act
• 'elf the 51st of the King, occurred before we had personally exa-
mined any of the Officers of the Royal MilPary Asylum; but we
- ' are enabled, from the very clear and satisfactory Returns and Ac-
counts transmitted to us, and front a personal inspection of the
Asylum, to give a general view of the mature of the Insti.
' .. Wiwi, and of the mode in which the business of it is at present
~, .st conducted—The Royal Military Asylum is an Institution of re-
cent date, and has not yet been noticed in any Report to the Le-
gistature. On the 24th of June, 1801, his Majesty's commands
were signified by Warrant to certain persons therein named, to I Launctre...

The expenditure and accounts of which we have !Atli eito

which we find in use in the conduct of the institution,ar.d
which it will he proper therefore to notice. We allude to the
practice which, with a view no doubt of preventing all perqu•sites
to the Inferior officers and servants, has been adopted, of selling
eve' y article, even of the least value, but useless, at the Asylum,
such as the old woollen and linen rags, the was:c paper and copy-
books, and tke grass of the coert-yards, &e. and of making, what
is there called," a separate fund" of the produce. The parer in
tile Appendix sbews what articles have been disposed of, and that
tl e produce in the year 1811 was about .0100, and it shews also
in what manner this furd has been appli. d. The establishment
of this fund, and the application of it, on a principle ehiefl7 of en-
eouragement to the children, are both very creditable to the ' MATRIMONIAI. FELICITY.

ADMIRALTY SESSlONS.—Yesterday the Admiralty
Sessions were opened, according to public notifica-
tion, in the Hall of the Old Bailey, with the accusto-
med ceremonies. A seaman, of the name of Gilson,
belonging to one of his Majesty's ships, was brought
up on an accusation of having compelled a boy to
mount the shrouds during very inclement weather,
when his hands were benumbed by the cold, and/or
having followed him when he was not executing -his
commands with alacrity to cause him to be more
alert, which so alarmed the boy that he feH from the
rigging into the sea, and was drowned._ No person
appearing on the part oftheprosecution, the prisoner
was discharged by the customary proclamation.-
-The Marquis cf &mei pleaded to an indictment
against him, and traversed the same to the next Ses-
sions. There being no other business before the
Cottrt, the same was adjourned.
Yesterday four persons were examined, at Marlbo-
rongh-street, on chargesof uttering forged notes, three
of whom were committed.
An alien, who has resided at Dover for some time,
by the name of Dr. S--, was taken into custody
on Wednesday, being found in the citadel wins a
forged pass, under pretence of visiting the wife of a
soldier who was ill. Three centioeis who, thus de-
ceived, had suffered him to pass, were put into con-
finement. The Doctor has since been removed from
the guard-house to the town gaol.
The person, calling himself Baron Kitt-ruff, who was
implicated with Davenport Seilky,in the atrocious frauds
