Dispatches from Admiral STIRLING, .at Jamaica,
and from Sir FRANCIS LAFOREY, at Barbadoes, were
received yesterday.
All the West India letters are full of the enter-
prizes of the American privateers. From Guada-
loupe, we item that they were swarming in that
neighbourhood, and from the superiority of their'
'sailing, in general bade defiance to pursuit.
A letter has been received by the owners of the
Lady Johnston transport, laden with ordnance and •
other military stores, for Canada, announcing her
capture by the Comet French privateer, which sent
her into New York. Het cargo is, unfortunately, too '

trust, however, that no time will be lost in senclin* to

gation between that Island and Halifax, and that of

• CHICHESTER.—Monday se'nnight was given the
third public amateur concert, at •the old. concert
room, in the Cathedral Church-yard, which was suc-
ceeded by a ball ; the harmony of which was for a
short time interrupted by some evil disposed persons
driving' two spike nails through the floor, front the
premises immediately under, one of which a lady
who was dancing actually ran into her footbut who,
we ate happy to say, received no material injury.—
With the exception of the above unpleasant circum-
stance, the evening concluded with the greatest har-
mony.
Christmas, a singular Marriage took place in the
parish of Drymen. The bridegroom was•a widower,
upwards of 80 ; and the happy bride, aged 70, bu-
ried her former husband only eight months ago.—
The parties and their friends met; according to agree-
ment, in the middle of the moor, several miles from
any cottage, where the clergyman of a neighbouring
village married them. About 50 people and two
pipers attended at the ceremony, and accompanied
-the happy couple home. •
Thursday se'nnight, a person of the name of Samp-
son, who had just been married in the Church at Pon-
tefract, took out his money to pay the dues, and by
forgetfulness left forty pounds in notes upon the
Communion Table : recollecting himself soon after,
he went in search of his money, but it was gone, and
has'not been since recovered.
Jame: Fratnitton and Robert Gray, two labourers,
are committed to Wincheser, to take their trial at the
next assizes for stealing lead nut of the plumber's shop
in Portsmouth dock-yard. It is remarkable that these
men were appointed watchmen over the above stores.
Last week a villain went down the area steps be-
longing to the Bishop of Ely, in Dover-street, Picca-
dilly, and during the temporary absence of the butler,
in answering a knock at the street door, he slipped
into the pantry, and selected a large quantity cf
table-spoons from among the rest of the plate, and
immediately ran off with the property. This daring
robbery was committed in open day.
Saturday evening, a young woman, coming from
Walworth with a bundle of linen, was overtaken by
a fellow near Newington-causeway, who offered to
carry her bundle, which she refused. He, however,
walked with her a short distance, when he gave her
a violent blow upon the head with his fist, which
knocked her down, when he snatched the bundle, and
ran off.
Sunday se'n&ght a child was found burnt to death
in a back apartment of the Cross Guns public house,
Southampton, the grand-mother of the child having
eloped with the key of the apartment the preceding

evening.
On Wednesday last, a shocking accident occurred
at the Proving-house, in Walmer-lane, Birmingham.
One of the workmen employed in proving the guns
for the army, stepping betore the muzzles of the bar-
rels, after a
~zeneral discharge, to fresh prime two or
three which had not exploded, the old priming unex-
pectedly took effeet, and the-contents of the pieces
literally carried aw;iy the poor fellow's leg and thigh.
He was immediately conveyed to the Hospital, but
died in a few minutes after his arrival there, leaving
a widow and six children, who were dependent upon

his industry.
The body of a female infant, about a twelvemonth
old, was found floating on the surface of the New
River on Thursday last. On inquiry, it proved to
be the child of a milk.woman at Islington, who had
lost her child on the preceding Friday, and having
been intoxicated at the time, could give no account
of the manner in which she had disposed of it. It is
supposed that the child must have fallen in acciden-
tally from her armS into the river, as she was allowed
Y be au affectionate parent.

GUTLlMALL.—Yesterday C. Se/fivan; Mary Strom
and John Griffiths, were brought up on suspicion of
murdering T. Bloomfield, late a watchman in St.
Sepulchre's parish.—R. Messenger, a Purser in the
Navy, stated, that as he was going up Skinner-street,
arm in arm with his brother, a little before two
o'clock on Sunday morning, a man jumped out from
the end of a lane, and knocked him down. He got
up, and was no sooner on his legs, than he was
knocked down again. All this happened without
lany provocation being given by him or his brother.
He had no idea of the man's person ; but that he was
short, and had a great coat on.--R. Messenger, bro-
!ther of the last witness, stated, that he saw his brother
knocked down by a man who rushed out of Seacoal-
lane. There were two men and a woman in com-
pany. Witness called the watch when his brother I
was knocked down a second time, and both the men
ran away, across and down Skinner-street. They were
pursued by the watchmen, but were not at that time
found. As he and his brother were proceeding to-
wards Newgate-street, they heard the rattles sprung
again, and on going back saw a watchman lying by
the door of a bookseller's shop (Mr. Godwin's) cor-
ner of Cow-lane and Skinner-street : a short time
after the prisoners were brought into St. Sepulchre's
watch-house. He thought Sullivan was the man
that knocked down his brother, but could not be eel.-
tain.--A countryman, stating himself to be out of
employment, deposed that he was passing, and saw
Sullivan knock the first witness down twice. He also
saw Griffiths in company with him. He was confi-
dent Sullivan and Griffiths were both together.—J.
Ward, a watchman of St. Sepulchre's parish, also
deposed, that hearing the rattles spring, he went up
towards Cow-lane, where he met the deceased : they
came back, and witness hastened across Skinner-street
to the end of Seacoal-lane, where the row was. He
left the deceased behind him; about ten yards from
Mr. Godwin's door, where he was found. About '
half a minute after he heard a hint spring of a rattle,
land on going over the way to where it came from, a
person said, is take that fellow up for springing his
rattle when there is nothing the matter." Witness
replied there was matter enough ; for he found the
deceased in the act of falling, with the blood issuing
from his mouth in large quantities. Witness did not
know who the person was who wanted the deceased
taken up for springing his rattle, neither did he see
any men running.—Ann Simpkins, a girl of the
town, deposed, that she walked up Skinner-street,
behind the two Messengers, and saw Sullivan rush
out of Seacoal-lane, and knock down one of them
twice : she was sure Griffiths, the woman Stevens,
and another woman, were in company with him.—
Mi. Richard Messenger said, in answer to a question
put by the worthy Alderman (ATares), that it was
perfectly possible for the prisoners, from the situa-
tion of the place where he was struck, and that
where the watchman was found, to have given the
watchman a blow in their way across the street,
and down it.—Benjamin Hodges, private watchman
to Boyd, Clark, and French, deposed, that he heard
the row; but there being a number of suspi-
cious characters about during the former part of
the night, he' refused. to quit his master's premises.
—Atlength. hearing a few faint cracks of a rattle
near him, as from a person under the influence of
constraint, he left his box, and saw the deceased fall.
ing, with blood gushing from his month. Witness
saw neither of the prisoners, nor did he see any one
running the way of the deceased. He saw five or six
men running away ; but they appeared to be sepa-
rated from the crowd at Seacoal-lane. It appeared
to witness that the deceased had been knocked down,
and-had got up again, by the appearances on Mr.
Godwin's door.—Griffiths here asked the worthy A-
lderman to permit him to say a few words. He said
he would speak the truth. Sullivan and he were at
the Thatched House public-house, and when that
was shut up, Sullivan asked him to go somewhere,'
and have a glass of gin. Although he expressed a
wish rather to go home, yet he consented, and they
went to the Star in the Old Bailey. At this house
they hada !nee glasses of gin each, he believed, and
they sat about two hours. They then went down 1
Snow-hill, where Stevens and another girl were stand-
' ing. There were two Gentlemen coming up, and
Sullivan, being in liquor, knocked one of them down.
He then got him away, and they went down Sea-
coal-lane, but, in a short time after, they returned to
1 the place of the row. He denied positively that they
ran down Skinner-street. Stevens, and Sullivan, and
himself, then went down to Fleet Market, where he
(Griffiths) gave Stevens 6s. which Sullivan bad
given him to pay her. Sullivan, however, wished it
back again, which she refused ; and as they were
both wrangling, and would not go away, the watch-
' men took them into custody, and he accompanied
them to the watch-house, to speak between them.—
They were then sent from St. Andrew's watch house
to St. Sepulchre's, and from thence to the Compter.
—The latter part of his statement was confirmed by
the watchman who took them in Fleet Market.—
Being asked how they gained their livelihoods, Grif-
fiths said he is a turner in Clerkenwell, and Sullivan
said he is no particular business, but used occasionally
to cut out blocks of wood for Griffiths. He lived
over the water.

Mr. NALDER, one of the City Marshals, here stated
that he had examined them apart, when Sullivan
told him he lived in Baldwin's-gardens ; that they
had been at the Black Horse, in Barbican, where he
had got his nose broke ; front thence they went to
Chick.lane, and subsequently to the Thatched House
and to the Star. Griffiths, on the other hand, said
they were oil alone, and were only at the Thatched
House and the Star.

One of the Patrole said, he knew them both, they
were very bad characters, and that he saw them in
Skinner-street on Sunday morn;ng. Whw they were
taken in Fleet-market,.. one of the Officers observed
blood on Sullivan's hand, which he instantly ac-
counted for, by saying it came from his broken nose.
The Fire Patrole belonging to the Sun Fire Office,
stationed in Skinner-street, stated, that hearing the
'row, be cros'ed the street, and met a tall stout map
on the run. The man passed him running towards
the place where the deceased was found. —The
Landlord of the Star public-house remembered
Grif-
fiths and Stevens being at his house on Sunday
morning ; but he did not think that Sullivanlwas
there.—They were remanded till to-morrow, to give
