Nothing arrived or sailed to-day.—Remain the
whole of his Majesty's ships and outward-bound mer-
chantmen and transports as per last, with their top-
gallant masts and yards struck: they appear to ride
well, except two brigs that have lost an anchor and
cable each, but we cannot learn their names.—Wind

LYMINGTON, NOVEMBER 12.

A French privateer has been hovering about the
Needles within these fevi days, and yesterday she
chased a pilot-boat close to the shore. It is also re-
ported that she yesterday captured alight brig.—Re-
mains in the Roads, his Majesty's brig Elizabeth.

The BRAZE.: sloop of war arrived at Stromness on
the 26th ult. after having convoyed the ships of the
Hudson's Bay Company to their destination. She
brings intelligence of the safe arrival of the convoy at
Churchill Fort, on the 18th of August, 52 days after
their departure from Orkney ; but the people on board
the ship Prince of Wales. destined for the settlement
on Red River, had suffered much from sicknes. It
appeared that one of the passengers, received on board
at Stromness, had been infected with a contagious
fever, which shewed itself on the fourth day after the
fleet sailed. The disorder spread so rapidly, that, in
the course of the voyage, two-thirds of the colonists
had felt its effects. Out of sixty passengers who were
fAtacked with the disorder, however, only five died.

These prisogers were thesame who were tried yester-

Mr. Milttlxv stated the save for the prosecution.
Richard Couchman, the prosecutor, sworn.---ls
coach-painter—an Englishman too; came to this
country upon the invitation of Messrs. Hutton ; arri-
ved in December last; gave a supper on his coming
over, as he understand it to he the general custom ;
,knows Arthur Conolly, who now stands at the bar ;
be had been employed by Messrs. Hutton in the ea-
, pocky of body painter, but it was arranged that he
was to be employed in another department, that of
.burnishing, after the arrival of witness; at the supper
Jest mentioned, Conolly obsereed to witaess—J, we
are Irishmen, and. want no person to teach us our
thosiness; and. if you find fault with my IROII4
shall tell you to do it better yourself.' Conolly-
remained for some length of time in the employ di
Messrs. Hutton after this supper; his (Conolly's)
wages were raised, and at the suggestion of witness.
He recollects the evening_of the 27th of August last ;
Conolly had been discharged previous to that even-
ing; witness left the factory that evening at a quartet
before eight ; passed a dial, which makes him parti-
cular as to the hoary the factory is on Sommer-hill;
witness lives on the circular road ; Mr. Underwood
went part of the way borne with him; they parted at
.the corner of Buckingham-street, and shortly after,
as he was about to cross from the tight side of the
street to the left, he received a most violent blow on
the hack of the head, and as he was he saw
Conolly (with whose countenance he was well ac-
quainted) very distinctly ; is perfectly satisfied that
he saw and knew Conolly, and that he was she man
who struck him ; at that time he saw no other person,
but after he was on the ground, he perceived a num-
ber of legs, the glittering of instruments, and the ends
of bludgeons ; though he was considerably stunned,
he retained, after the first blow, his recollection and
sense sufficiently strong to enable him to identify Co.
nolly, without any danger of being mistaken.
He was cross-ex mined by Mr. Tuarrin DRISCOLL
to shew, if possible, something like * discrepancy be-
tween his direct and cross-examinations, or his eel..
denim yesterday and this day. There never, however,
appeared a more caudid, conscientious and rational'
witness in a Court of Justice.

Other witnessei corroborated, at almost every ppaars
titular circumstance, the prosecutor's evidence.
defence set up by the prisoners was an alibi, in which
they failed ; for after a trial of eleven hours the Jury
retired, and, in five minutes, pronounced a verdict of
Guilty. to the great satisfaction of every unprejudiced
person in Court.
Mr. Baron MCLELLAN' then proceeded to address
the prisoners, concluding, in allusion to their acquit",
tal yesterday, as follows :
" You have been equine(' by a Jury of your
Countrymen, upon their otths, of that crime which
would cOndernn you to suffer. death. I will not can•
vas the merits of that Jury—neither shall I exa-
mine its demerits—but this I will say, tint there
was not an individual out of the jury.o.ix, who bad
witnessed your trial, that was not satisfied of your
guilt—that retained the slightest doubt upon
,thsr
subjec•—and I trust that you feel at this moment,
the truth and the justice of what Lotter."
,His Lordship then passed the sentence arlscch
that the prisoner; be confined for Pun Yeats, and do
stand in the public pillory three times during that
period !

round the table of the Court. The lists of the indi.

in some instances amended, and several of the indivi.
duals originally proposed, were excused, on the repre-
sentations and suggestions of some of the Learned

An intercepted letter from BERTHISR to his Master,

A French traveller, M. Herat MAytraap, actors.
panied by a female guide, ascended on the 13th of
August, after a laborious journey, to the summit of
Mount Rose, near Geneva, which is 2430 toises above
the level of the sea. Like Monte Blanc, which it
nearly equals in elevation, it is covered with eternal
snows. M. MAYNARD is believed to be the first per-
son who ever accomplished the undertaking. The
journey proved extremely fatiguing, and through the
rarity of the air and the reflection of the snow, he
was much burnt, and lost the skin of his face. He
deposited in a ridge, upon The summit, French and
Italian coins, as indications to future travellers of his

perilous achievement.
Wolves, of a new species, have recently been killed
in the- French departments bordering on the Fyren-
nees. They are distingnished by their largo size, ex-
treme ferocity, and particular taste, which leads them
to attack men, women, and children, in preference to
the brute• creation.
The inhabitants bf Newgate-street, London,- and
its vicinity* having been lately much distressed by
want of water, a person was employed to open the
pipe, when, to his great surprise, he discovered that
a 'salmon, two feet eleven inches in length, and of
proportionate circumference, was found therein, and
which, being perfectly fresh, the operator believes
would have been alive, but for a blow which he acci-
dentally gave it in opening the pipe. It is evident it
must have very considerably increased in size during
. its confinement, as there is no possible ingress to the
pipe but through a valve at London Bridge, of seven
inches in diameter, which has a bar across the centre.
An inhabitant offered the man a guinea for the fish,
as a curiosity, which he refused, observing,-that it had
cost the company upwards of fifty, from the numer-
ous obstructions it had occasioned in its progress.
Mr. WEBB* the Philanthropist, has recently been
at Bunzay, where he visited the abodes of most of the
indigent cottagers, and afforded them the most salu-
tary relief. He attended Divine service at the church
of the Holy Trinity, where a Charity Sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr. DREYER, for the benefit of
the Sunday Schools, to which he most munificently
contributed. The singers, principally composed of
juvenile females, engaged his notice so particularly,
that be presented to each a al note ; the apprentices
also shared his liberality, for to almost every one he
gave a al note : and to others, who were out of their
time, be gave sums of 1'25, and £3O each. The above
Gentleman also made a short visit to Bury St. Ed-
mund's, last week, where lie gave away several small
sums, and agreed to putting out two or three appren-
tices ;—he went away on Friday by the Cambridge
Coach, promising shortly to return with a recruited
purse.
Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, two old
houses, situate in the Mint, were thrown down by the
violence of the gale, and fell with a tremendous crash.
They were fully inhabited in every part by Irish, of
the humblest class, and bad it not been that the patroles
fortunately discovered the dangerous state of the
building time 'enough to give them the alarm, the
consequences must have been dreadful ; happily,
however, they all escaped, though almost in a naked
state, before the buildings fell z no individual was

COURT OF .COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER IL
DICKINSON V. LANG.

• Mr. &Tient VAUGHAN applied to the Court lot a
rule to thew cause why a new trial should not be
granted in this case. It was tried at the Assines at
York, before Mr. Justice Chambre. The Learned
Serjeant went on to state, that he could produce an
affidavit, which he believed must appear to the Court
a sufficient ground for granting the rule. From this
affidavit it would, he said, appear, that Colonel
Lang, the defendant, had been completely taken by
surprise ; that he had not sufficient time to bring
forward witoesses, whose testimony must have en-
tirely prevented such a verdict as the Jury had given
in the case, namely, a verdict of 475 damages; that
it was not by his order Dickinson, the plaintiff, had
been arrested.

..

Here Mr. Justice CH Amiss interrupted the Learn.
ed Set-leant, and said, that the evidence, as it ap.
peared on the trial, was completely contrary to the
statement in the affidavit, on which the application
' was grounded. His Lordship then read from his,
notes the evidence given on the trial. It appeared,
that at the Theatre of Sheflkld, some noise took
place, in consequence of a Mr. Robinson not appear.
in g to sing a song which had been promised in the
bills. The noise occasioned by the call for this song
was the only bustle that prevailed in the house. The
Colonel, it seems, considered himself called upon to
suppress it, and accordingly-went up to the-gallery,
attended by a party of his men, with fixed bayonets.
Lieutenant Jackson. accompanied the COOnet: On
entering the gallery, Lieutenant Jackson came up to
the plaintiff, Dickinson, and thus Fatty accosted him
Yon d—d rascal, you're the fellow that's making
the noise !" Dickinson made a reply pretty Much in.,
the same stile; which reply produced so quick an ap-
plication of the Lieutenant's- fist, that Dickinson
confessed he was no fighter: this humble acknowledge
ment, however, did not disarm Jackson, who conti.
nued to make his experiments about the head and
breast of the plaintiff, until Colonel Lang came up,
and called for a ring, which he endeavoured to form
by all the exertion that: both his elbows were capable
of making. Dickinson prudently declined the con.
test, but was, notwithstanding, by order of the Colo.
nel, put under the care of some soldiers, who pulled
him down stairs, and conveyed him to prison. Such
were the circumstances of the case, as they appeared
—in evidence. Rule refused.

Thursday evening, or early yesterday niorning, the
house of Mr. H. Newsome, of Peckham, was broker
open, and robbed of a quantity of plate and linen,
and other valuables, with which the villains escaped
undetected.

Wednesday evening, between nine and ten o'clock,
as a journeyman carpenter, of the name of Hardy,
was returning home to his reiidence in Union-street,
Bishopsgate-street, from a job at Tottenham, he was
stopped near Kingsland-road by two fellows, who
knocked him down, and took from his person a silver
watch, a £1 Bank-note, and about 6s. with Aieh
they ran off across the fields towards Shacklewell,
and made their escape.
Sunday morning last, a return chaise was stopped
near the Star Inn, in Canterbury, on its way to Deal,
by a private soldier of the 52d regiment, assisted by
a party of the Glamorgan regiment, and who took
out of it a well dressed person, apparently a sailor,
who has been since identified to be a French Naval
Officer, who had escaped from one of the prison.
ships in the river Medway, where he has been confined
nine years. The soldier formerly belonged to the
East Kent Militia, and while in-that regiment, doing
duty over French prisoners, at several depots, had
gained a knowledge of their dress and behaviour,
which made him suspect the prisoner, whom he saw
enter the chaise, and who is for the present lodged in
Westgate gaol.
A diabolical attempt was made by some nefarious
villain, or villains, on Friday night or Saturday mot.
ning, to destroy the powder-mills of Messrs. Thickler
and Mouatford, at Chilworth, Surrey, by putting se-
veral stones it: and about the gudgeon of the water-
wheel of the corning-house ; which, but for the
timely discovery, would, in all human probability,
have caused the destruction, not only of the whole
works, but of the paper-mills and other buildings in
, the vicinity, by which a number of persons would
have been thrown out of employ, to say nothing of the
two that might hare fallen a sacrifice.

before Mr. Eitmeca, by Alexander Sidis, w seaman,
I with having been toncehted Wi:h a person named
Rode, not yet in custody, in defrauding him of .4e2A.
It appeared front the statement of Sims, that he had
been to Stimetset House to receive softie money that
was due to him, and on coming. out he was met by
the prisoner. who asked him if he wanted a lodg-
ing, saying he could recommend him to one where
he would be conit'ortably acconithodated at a cheap
rate. The prosectitor went with him to the house of
Ronke, and after he had been there a short time,
Rouke advised him to leave his money in his • care,
saying it would then .be safe, but it he carried it
about with him, he would perhaps have his pr cket
picked. The prosecutor accordingly gave Rouke
his money, who, however, soon after disappeared,
and had not since been heard of. After he eras
gone, a note, purporting to be tile note of hand of
Rouke, was brought to him lot the amount of the
money he had belonging to the prosecutor, made
payable at a distant day. This not satisfying the
prosecutor, he applied to Harris the efficer, and had
Clark the plischier taken into custody. Two other
seamen also appeared, who had been defrauded in the
same manner by Rouke, one out of 036 and the other
out of aZI2 } and Clark refusing to give any account
where Rouke might be found, the Magistrate com-
mitted him for re-examination.
