Mr. Martin—l consider that the horse was utterly imam, to
draw such a load along the bridge.

that it is a most obstinate beast ; it won't draw a sprat off a grit

A man named Wilks was charged with burglary and with ,her.
stealing. It appeared that on Friday morning, the house cf
Abbinett, a linen-draper, of Kennington-cross, was braken opel,
and a quantity of goods were stolen, part of which were found in
the garden of an adjoining house, and a part on the prisoner, who
was apprehended by a patrol in Stanford-street, on the tame morn.
ing that the robbery was committed. With reference to the charge
of sheep-stealing, it appeared that a number of sheep having been
stolen frets% Dulwich, an officer was employed to watch a certain
flock, and he saw the prisoner skulking about the field, but as he
appeared in the dress of a countryman, and very readily gave his
address, he was allowed t go at large. However, it seems that he
is the person suspected of stealing the sheep, and it is supposed that
he strangled them with a bloody cord, which was found with some
house-breaking instruments in his pocket.—He was committed
fer trial. . .

The ship Sabina has arrived at Cadiz from Manila;

Monday evening a Meeting was held in the Latimer
School-room, near Hammersmith Church, for the pgu•
pose of forming an Institution tor the benefit and mutull
instruction of the Mechanics. and Artiszni of the
Hamlet of Hammersmith, ancithe Pitri-hespf Kensing-
ton and Chiswick. The room was crowded to egress.
Several resolutions declaratory of the advantages of
Mechanics Instittttes, and the necessity of forming
one fot this district, were moved and carried.

Last week a fire broke out at H:11 Farm, near Laving-
ton, %Vats, which, besides consuming a cottage, with a
considerable quantity of c .rn and husbandry imple.
ments, destroyed upward of 100 head of poultry.
During the late boisterous weather, a quantity of
French silks of different kinds, together with crapes,
velvets, shawls, gloves, and many other articles, have
been picked up along. the Sussex coast.
At the Surrey Sessions, on Tuesday, John Healy, a
miserable-looking old man, stood indicted for stealing
two sheets. The evidence against him was conclusive.
The poor wretch urged in his defence, that having been
wounded in the head in the service of his king and
count: y more than one and thirty years ago, his intel-
lects were occasionally disordered, and that when he
committed the crime of wf.i.7h he stood accused, he
knew not what he did. When questioned respecting
the date of the wound of which he spoke, the unh tppy
old man said it was on the Ist of June, 1794; and the
' occasion was th.. memorable sea fi,..;ht and victory ri
the late Earl Howe. Verdict—Guilty. The prison,/
was seotencei to be confined ii the House of Concede°
for one month, and be kept to hard labour.
The two men and a boy taken at sea by the Lyme
cruizer, with lines attached to a raft of kegs of spirits,
have been sent to Dorchester jail, by the Mayor of Lyme.
BARBAROUS ELOPVIRWT.—The individual who has
committed this gross outrage, is a husband and the
father of a numerous family, a man moving in a de-
cent and respectable sphere of life, a schoolmaster, en-
couraged for his learning and talents, and looked op
to as a teacher of morality. The city of Durham is
.the scene of his villainy. He came to that town, it
seems, about seven years ago, in indifferent cirearn
stances, and from his own ability and the suavity of his
manners, his school soon became the principal academy
in the neighbourhood. His • society was courted, and
he gained the confidence of the principal citizens, with
many crf whom he lived on terms of intimacy. The
astonishment then which was felt in the city of Durham,
on Friday morning last, when it was known that he had
eloped the night before, with a genteel and accom-
plishei young Lady about 20 years of age, one of his
own pupils, the daughter of a respectable tradesman,
may be easily conceived. He has absconded. leaving a
wife in distress and difficulties, with six small children,
without the means of supporting them. He is deeply
involved in debt, and by eleven o'clock on Siturday
m3rning, there were not less than ten writs issued out
of the Court of Pleas in Durham against his goods
This unprincipled person appears to be about*3 yea"
of age, and it is believed that he has gone, with the
unfortunate victim of his seduction, to America, having
with him, it is supposed, about 6001.
