HYDE PARK.

The improvements at this place have commenced.
A portion of the wall fronting. Knightsbridge Font
Guards Barracks and St. Georges Hnspital, is pulled
down, and is to be replaced with iron tailing. There
is t 3 be a new Park gate instead of that now close to
the Duke of Wellington's lulu e, and facing the great
brazen figure of Achilles; and, as heretofore stated,
that portion of the Pa, k now occupied as road, is to be
inclosed, to increase the privatf grounds of Ansley
House, the present residence of the Duke of Wellington.
The wall at the upper end of St..latue.'s Park, by that
nuisance the Toll-gate and Grosvenor-place, as well as
Hyde Park wall beyond Knightsbridge Barracks on to
Kensington, are, it is states, to come down, and to
have iron railing substituted.

SURREY SESSIONS, JULY 20.

Tilt KING V. ROGERS.
This was an indictment on the prosecution of Thos.
J. Holland., Esq. assistant overseer of the parish of
Bermondsey, against Thomas Rogers, master and owner
of a vessel trading between Hamburgh and the port of
London, for an assault committed on Eliza Kemble
Fisher, a girl under ten years of age.—The evidence.
for the prosecution having been gone through, a great
number of witnesses were called to prove that Captain
Rogers had always conducted himself with propriety
and decency, and by his good conduct had amassed.a
Considerable fortune. One of them, Miss S. Page, had
lived in the family many years. The Captain had thrte
children, a son, about 18, a daughter of 16, and.nno-
ther daughter about 12. He always bore a good-cha-
racter for decency and propriety. The Captain, and his'
wife were the most happy couple she had ever seen—
(The defendant here was quite overpowered, and co-,
vered his face). .
. The Jury, after consulting for a few minutes, returned their ver-
dittr....Yes Guilty.
WEST KENT SESSIONS.
• Frederick M. Van Heytknyson, Esq. stood indicted
for besting apoor old man, n fined Samuel Joshua
Taylor, of Bexley, and filing at him with a pistol, the
contents of 'which providentially passed over his head.
Mr. CLARKSON stated the case .for the prosecution,
and lamented that it had fallen to his let t i lay before
'the public, the particulars of an cffence, attended by
such aggravated circumstances. Ile called the prose-
cutor, who fully proved the charge laid in the in-
dictuient. On the part of the defendant witnesses
were called, whose evidence Was sucontradictory, that
the C urt, and Jury rejected it ;. and the defendant was
found Gui iy.
In the course of the trial, the Chairman,. T. LAW
'HODGES, Esq. in the kindest manner, recommended
the defendant (through the medium of his Counsel) to
settle the matter with the prosecutor; but • this well.
meant endeavour was entirely thrown away, as the
defendant would not bumble himself, nor make any
concession. In passing sentence, the COURT animad-
verted very strongly and very justly upon the enormity
of the offence of which the defendant had been con-
victed upon the clearest testimony. His. conduct had
been outrageous in the extreme, and it was fortunate
that the life of the prosecutor had not been sacrificed in
consequence of it; but what rendered the offence more
lculpable was, the scandalous attempt made to 'invali-
date the prosecutor's evidence bY two witnessei, whose
character would not bear the test of inquiry. The de.
fondant was sentenced to pay a fine of 1001.

The correspondents of the Paris Papers at • Madrid,
agree in stating, that Corunna is completely blociaded
by the Culombian privateers. They have very-lately
captured seven vessels belonging to the met chants
of that port. There are also many cruisers on' the
coast of Biscay.
The workmen have began to erect fencing round
Buckingham House, at a considerable distance ITOM the
iron railing, preparatory to the commencement- of the
alterations at that Palace. The carriage road in front
of such iron railing will be included within the fencing.'
Buckingham-gate entrance is. as yet passable for horses
and carriages, but the course of the road will be altered.
By the Act 4th Geo. IV. c. 49, persons riding, or
going in a carriage to or from Church on SUnday. or
on public fast-days ; and personi attending or returning
from the funeral ot any person who shall die and be
buried in the parish, are exemptei from paying toll.
Such is the flow of water already in the wells digging
for the supply of Canterbury, that it is deemed neces-
sary to erect a steam-engine, for the purpose of clearing
them, to enable the workmen to proceed with the work.
During the past week, the Band of the 3d, or King's
Own, Light Dragoons,, attended to play for ,five
days at the Grand Stand, Newcastle-on-Tineon ac-
count of the Races, yet for performing, this service at a
place like Newcastle, the remuneration given to the
whole body amounted only to five guineas
At Mansfield Fair, on Monday, a countryman having
purchased a horse for £2l, he toi.k him to his inn ;
sharper followed ii to the st able,and beginning to examine
the animal, inquired if he was for sale? but on being
told that he was jitst bought, the knave (with an
artificial surprise) exclaimed, 4. why, he's got the glan-
ders, and will affect all the horses in the stable, take
him into the fair again and sell him for anything sooner
than he saddled with the bargain." The unsuspectink
countryman thanked him tor his friendly advice, took
the horse out again inter the fair, where of course he
found plenty more friends ready t., hid, acd actually dis-'
posed of him to one ot the tribe tor twenty-four shilliags 1
