MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPTEMBER 15.

APPEAL 1311(.1--THE SILK TRADE.
John Parker appealed against the conviction of two
Magistrates of the Worship•street Police Office, who
fined him 20/. for having nnmanufactuted silk in his
possession, contrary to the Act of the 17th Geo. HI.
cap. 56. sec. 10, 11, and 12.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, in support of the conviction, stated
that the above Act of Parliament was expressly passed
for the protection of silk manufacturers, before which
time their property, from its nature, was at the mercy
of every petty plunderer. This arose from the total
impossibility of being able to identify silk in its wound
or unwound state.

The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to call n
number of witnesses, who swore to the finding a quan-
tity of silk unwound, and 2,200 bobbins with silk of
various colours on them, at the house of Mr. Parker,
No. 2, York-place, Bethnal-green, and such as could
not be used by any one in the business of Mr. Parker.
Mr. ANDREWS, who was for the appellant, endea-
voured to prove, by a number of witnesses, that the silk
was fit for the business of Mr. Parker; but, after a
considerable deal of desultory conversation, the Court
con6imed the conviction of the Magistrates; with the
costs of the day.

AN ONRULT APPRENTICE:
Mc. Smith, an artist, presented a petition to the
Magistrates, complaining of the misconduct cf T. W.
Gordon. his apprentice, in disobeying his directions,
.stopping out all night, and running away from his ser-
vice. The complainant entered into a very long state-
ment respecting the lad's behaviour, in leaving his
house without any cause, going off to some of his
friends, and disguising himself in woman's attire, to
avoid detection, in which misconduct he was aided and
encouraged by some of the members of bis family, par-
ticularly his elder brother.
The boy's father, who is a purser in the navy, corro-
borated Mr. Smith's account, and bore testimony to the
kind and attentive treatment which his son received at
the hands of his master. .

The brother, on the other hand, said that the boy was an op-
pressed boy, and requested that his story might be heard.
The lad himself was then put into the box, and stated
that he had been put into a bed with bugs in it, and
therefore was obliged to go to sleep elsewhere. He
did not go to his father with any complaints of his
master's usage of him, because he (the father) was a
severe man ; and he had, therefore, been obliged to go
and seek shelter at his mother's or his sister's. He also
stated that he had no taste for his intended profession.
Mr. Smith observed. that the boy was remarkably
forward in acquiring a knowledge of his art, and handed
is several well-executed specimens of his drawing. He
also produced three other younger boys, who had
already become clever little artists, to prove hii proper
treatment of his apprentices.
The brother still persisted in assuring the Court that
the lad was oppressed, and treated with over rigour, as
well as made to sleep in a buggy bed.
After a good deal of confused statement and counter-statement,
The CounT, first animadverting on the mischievous
consequences likely to ensue to the Lid from his bro-
ther's conduct in encouraging him iii his improper be-
haviour towards his master, sentenced the boy to one
month's solitary confinement in the House of Correc-
tion, with an intimation that if he did not then return
to his master's service, and conduct himself properly in
future, they would punish him more severely upon the
next occasion of his being brought before them.

..Dispatehei, dated July. 22, have been received at the
Colonial Department, from the Captain• General and
Governor-in-Chief, Sir CrmaLas TURNtIto at Sierra
Leone. The rainy season had commenced.
. By letters of the 27th of August, from Genoa, we
learn that a very strong shock of an earthquake was
experienced at that place on the preceding day, at about
twenty minutes after four o'clock ; it lasted five or six
seconds. It seems the shock was felt strongest by the
people in the upper stories of the houses. No accidents
of any note are mentioned. Neither the thermometer
nor the barometer varied in the slighest degree.

We indent to hi tint tVe haie incelawd troiti &it* Ma
account of a fatal renanttre. in Which an *nibble young Nolirmat
in that neighbourhood is stated to have been concerned. thil
following is One Correspondent's communication a=Net6 noels

" Cussrea, Simmons 13.
" i had Intended a coriununiCatibb bt a very dliterent kind, but
a most dreadful event has happened at Raton, and I Shall but lint
hate time to mention it before post hour. Mr. -s--‘ has just
returned limn Eaton Hall, width is a scene of dreadful eonfusidd
and disma_y. The whole of the Groiversor family are in thd
deepest affliction. I have just gathered the following particulars,
but the catastrophe ii not yet public i—
" You'll recollect that, a short time since, a.fracas took late at a
oni
ball in this city, between the Master of the Ceremonies, Bets
grave, and others, on die one pact, and 100111 e Irish Genti emelt on
the other, which, it appear, has never 'been' arranged. About
Saturday last three strange Irish Gentlemen arrived at the hatch
with a splendid equipage and many servants ; bat they were hot
neclare4 and a Mode( mystery hung over them. On Monday they
visited Baton Hall, and were treely admitted through the house,
gardens, &c. In the gardens, meeting with the two Ladies Grey;
one of the Gentlemen, who seemed rather inferior to the others,
grossly insulted the Ladies, and they then retired, leaving their
address with the porter.
" Lord Belgrave sobght them at' the hotel, and one of them
oared satisfaction. A meeting took place ; but in consequence of
something said by Lord Belgrave 's opponent directly betbee firing,
Lord B. fired in the air, and the other declined firing. It appears
that afterwards a correspondence took place, and one of them (a
man of Irish tide), challenged Lord Belgrave, who met hint
.this afternoon. The result Is, that. Lord Belgrave is slightly
wounded, and the Irish- Nobleman is shot through the abdomen;
and, the surgeons say, can't recover.--I have only time to my that
it is connected with the City Ball business.
" I'. S.—l have just learnt that the two seconds are arrested t
and Lord
LBelerave is in a more dangerous state than was at first
supposed."
We have made inquities at the mansions of Earl G los-
VBSOIt, and Lord! BZLORAVX and Wtwrow, and at all
the houses of the Nobility connected with the family, as
well as at every place where this news was likely to have
reached, and find that the only information they have
received has b .en through the Journal from which we
have copied the above statement.

THE GERMAN TO HIS SWORD,

ON THE PEACE OF 1814.

Back to thy sheath, red battle•brand,
Thy task of death is done;
For rescued is our Father-land,
And Peace with Freedom won.
Above the hearth 'twos thine to keep
From Slavery's footsteps free,
In Glory's beams henceforward sleep,

No more arous'd to be !
Of man the name, I durst not claim,
If in the slaughter-field,
Th' unholy lust of gold or fame
Thy steel had made me wield:
The cause for which I grasp'd thy hilt,
By nun a heaio,was bless'd ;
At summons less sublime 'twere guilt
To stir thee from tlty rest!
Sleep on for age, thou gory sword,
The pledge of peril past,
When back we drove the foeman's horde,
Like waves before t he blast.
Yu should again our native sod
By tyrants trampled be,
Our first appeal shall be to Goo--
Next, battle-brand, to' thee!
