AFFECTING PARTICULARS OF THE LOSSI
OF THE JULIANA EAST INDIAMAN.

•The following account of this melancholy event
has been collected from one of the survivors :—The
Juliana, Captain OoriLvta, reached the Downs on her
voyage from Calcutta, on Friday, the 21st olDecem-
her, 1821, and after having put Mrs. Ogilvie op shore
at Deal, and received a pilot, proceeded for the River,
but was forced by stress of weather to anchor in Mar-
gate Roads, from whence she was driven with the
loss et two anchors and cables, on the morning of
Sunday, the 23d, and, from want of skill in the pilot,
grounded on a sand-bank, called the Kentish Knock,
between two and three o'clock in the afternoon of the
same day. As the sea was raging with great violence,
the mainmast was immediately cut away to lighten
and ease the ship, and a boat with two men in her
was lowered down , but the boat had scarcely touched
the water when it was dashed to pieces, and both the
men were killed.
At this time there were on board about forty pet-
.sons, including the Captain and his brother, both
Lieutenants in the Royal Navy, Mr. Graham, the sur-
geon, a saaid-servant, and a female child, passengers
from Calcutta. As there was no hope of moving the
ship, the long-boat was provided with provisions,
water, and a compass, with a view of quitting the
vessel; but the wind having gone down with the eb-
bing of the tide, and the carpenter having reported
favourably of the state of the ship, it was determined
to delay their departure till the following day, in the
hope that vessels would put off to their assistance, and
that they would thereby be enabled to save a part of
the cargo.
From this fatal resolution arose all the misery that
ensued ; for, had they quitted the ship at this moment,
an object that could have been effected without dif-
ficulty, the sea upon the bank at ebb-tide being com-
paratively smooth, there is no manner of doubt that
they would all have made the shore in safety ; but
the opportunity now lost never again returned.
In the evening, the violenceof the wind increasing,
the tide rose with frightful impetuosity, and the vei y
first wave that broke over the ship shattered thelong-
boat to pieces, and carried away all the bulwarks.—
Tire men were now obliged to take shelter on the
bowsprit or the highest part of the quarter-deck, to
avoid being washed overboard, where they remained
till the tide retiring gave them an opportunity to seek
between decks a short cessation of suffering, and to
recruit their wearied bodies with refreshment, or
such repose as was possible to be taken under such
Circumstances.

The Captain alone could by no persuasion be in-
duced to quit the deck, where he continued during
the whole of this dreadful night. He must have seen
that escape became every moment more doubtful;
and with what anguish must he in such moments
have reflected upon the wife fror.. whom he had so
recently parted, or his doting mother and other cigar
relatives whom he was never more to behold !

During the night pieces of canvas and rope dipped
in tar were burnt at the top of the mast, in the hope
that some passing ship might see and relieve them in
their extremity. A raft was also constrUcted, and
moil-jog was I,oked for with the most heart rending
anxiety. With the morning came the tide, nothing
abated in violence. One wave swept froin the dock
the 3 :irgeoti and the young female, and at the same
i I..ta.it dashed the maid-servant against the rudder,
and literally shattered her head to pieces! The fate
of Mr. Graham, a most amiable man, was singularly
affecting. lie had been ill during the greater part
of the voyage, and had a pre,entirnent, which he
often expressed, that he should never see London
again ; nor could he be either laughed or reasoned
oat of this opinion.

When the ship made the Downs, Captain Ogilvie
endeavoured most kindly to persuade him to go on
shore at Deal, but could not prevail ; and thus a va-
luable man was lost, upon whom a mother and two
sisters, now resident in Ireland, depended entirely for
support. Immediately after Mr. Graham had been
swept overboard, Mr. Edward Ogilvie having as-
cended the mizen-top, the- mast gave way, and he
was precipitated amongst the pieces of wreck with
which the ship was surrounded, and killed! The '
body was recovered and placed upon deck, at the
feet 4 his unhappy brother, whose agonies at this,
moment the writer, who witnessed the scene, would•'
think it absurd to attempt to describe.

Many persons wet e now lying dead about the deck,
baying 4cen either struck by spars or killed by excess
of fatigue, and no succour appearing, at eleven o'clock
an Monday morning, the Captain told the crew that
all further exertion on board was useless, and that
they had better endeavour to save themselves by quit-
ting the wreck as speedily as possible. Accordingly,
about twenty got upon the raft, which had scarcely
left the vessel when it was overturned by the fury of
the waves, and no more than six men regained their
station, the rest having. all sunk. The Captain and
two or three were still on board, when the sea having
forced an opening in the bottom of the ship, she im-
mediately filled, and her decks blew up: the hull
fell to pieces, and in a few minutes the whole was one
universal ruin. With great difficulty the raft, with
the six survivors, cleared the masses of wreck with
which it was surrounded. This was accomplished
about three o'clock on Monday afternoon. In the
course of the night four of the six died. The two
who remained were picked up by a fishing-boat on
Tuesday, when wholly exhausted by suffering.

When the raft drifted from the wreck, Capt. Ogil-
vie wasseen clinging to the quarter gallery, and must
have perished in a few moments. Why he did not
endeavour to save himself on the raft can be now only
matter of opinion ; but the great probability is, that
the high sense of duty which led him often to de-
clare, that in such situations the Captain should al-
ways be the last on board, must have induced him
to remain till escape became impossible. He was a
man of extraordinary talent, and was early distin-
guished by the immortal Nelson. He was Signal
Officer on board the Victory at the battle of Trafal-
gar, and had subsequently seen much service as a
First Lieutenant of a large frigate. Many can bear
•—env to his excellence as an Officer, and the sor-
'-• circle of friends speaks the esti-

MIDDLESEX SESSIOVt -

r.•
Yesterila, the Sessions for the County of Middle-
!!! commenced before Mr. CONST, the Chairman.
Three persons of'respectable appearance, named
autkr, Mott, and Durch, wtre indicted for an assault
on Achelly and Gooding, two of the Bow-street
patrol. The nature of the assault consisted in the
false imprisonment of the prosecutors.
From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared
that, on the 7th of November last, about a quarter
before twelve o'clock, Achelly and Gooding were on
duty, going along the Commercial-road ; Achelly
came up to a woman named Jones, who had a bundle
under her cloak, and insisted upon knowing what it
was ; she consented to go to the toll-house to have it
examined; where a number of persons collected, and
among the rest the prisoners at the bar. The woman
having given a satisfactory account of herself and
the property found on her, which consisted of two
pieces of bed-ticking, the officers were willing to let
her depart, but she said she would charge them on
the watch ; they accordingly proceeded to the watch-
house. From the evidence for the prosecution it ap-
peared that the prisoners were aiding and assisting
in carrying the officers there, and that they induced
the woman, Jones, to prefer the charge of assault
against them.
Mrs. Jones swore that the officer, Achelly, treated
her in a very rough manner; that she took him for
a thief, and was very much frightened. Her object,
she said, in giving the charge was that he might be
locked up and prevented from following her, as she
had a lonesome way to go.
The Jury, after a short consideration, found the
prisoners Guilty.
Mr. ALLKY, on the part of the pmsecution, said
there was no wish to detain them. They nisght go
home on their own recognizance, and appear to-
morrow to be dealt with as the Court thought fit.
The whole day was occupied in hearing petty cases
of assault.

The present ATTORNEY-GENERAL, when a boy, was
at school at Exeter, and since he became a Barrister,
has practised on the Western Circuit. On a trial on
which he was retained, concerning some premises
situated near his late school, h was necessary for.him
to fix the height and length of a wall bounding a gar-
den, in which grew many fine apple-trees, the fruit
of which at times tempted the youths so much, that
they actually used to cltmb over and purloin them.
In fixing the height and length of this wall, it was
deemed necessary to subiczna the old Lady who
rented the garden; but as she proved to be a most
unwilling witness, Mr: GIFFORD was obliged to put
the question many times, on which the old Lady,
who was actually lather dim-sighted, stretched out
'her neck, and called aloud—" Goo bless me! be not
your Honour little Bobby Gitford, that used to go to
Mr. —'s school? why do you ask me to tell the
height and length of the wall ? Eli thank you to tell
the Gentlemen yourself; for I believe that you used
to be over the wall as often as any of the other boys
at the school." This, of course, caused a great laugh
in the Court, in which Mr.GIFFORD joined heartily.
When his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER
visited the Duck-yard at Chatham, a few days since,
he was shewn CROMWELL'S standard, supposed to be
the only one remaining in the kingdom. Its ancient
simplicity and good preservation excited the attention
of his Royal Highness. When his late MAJESTY
visited the yard in 17S1, it was shewn to him, and
he expressed a desire that particular care might be
taken of it. This flag is red, 21 lea by 1.5, having
on it St. George's cross (red) on a white field, and the
Irish harp (yellow) on a blue field, the shield sur-
rounded by branches of the palm and laurel.

MAKING THE MOST OF A GOOD THING !—When the
baggage of Lady HAMILTON was landed at Palermo,
Lord NELSON'S coxswain was very active in convey-
ing if to the Ambassador's Hotel. Lady HAMILTON
observed this, and, presenting the man with a moidore,
said, " Now, my friend, what will you have to drink ?"
" Why, please our Honour," said the coxswain,
" I am not thirsty." " But," said her Ladyship,
" Nelson's steersman must drink with me ; so what
will you take—a dram, a glass of grog, or a glass of
punch ?"—" Why," said Jack, " as I am to drink with
your Ladyship's Honour, it wouldn't be good man-
ners to be backward ; so I'll take the dram now, and
will be drinking the glass of grog while your Lady-
ship is mixing the tumbler of punch for me!"

THE THIEF CAUGHT NAPPING!—The family of
Mr. CUMMING, of Cannonbury Ten-ace, New-road,
being to spend their Christmas at their cottage, near
Highgate, left their house in the care of a trusty man-
servant and his wife. Yesterday morning, on the
man's getting up, he was surprised to find a young
fellow, about twenty, sitting in an arm chair in the
kitchen, fast asleep, with a couple of bottles and a
glass before him on the table; the plate, and other
valuable articles were packed up, ready to be carried
off. It appeared that he had entered by a back win-
dow; but that after effecting his object of plunder,
he was unable to resist the tempting juice of the
grape ; he regaled himself with a bottle and a half
of wine, when he sunk into the arms of Morpheus, in
which state he was discovered with the bottles and
glass before him, as above stated : the man-servant,
with the assistance of his wife, searched him, and
found a gold rtng, some beads, and silver spoons in
his pockets. The servant being satisfied with the re-
covery of the property, and finding that no part was
carried off, gave the thief a good thrashing, and, un-
fortunately for the ends of justice, kicked the villain
out of doors, by which means he escaped legal punish-
ment. The servant, ou reflection, was sorry that he
had let him escape, and went immediately in search
of him, but to no purpose; and yesterday he gave a
description of his person at the Police Offices.
Early on Saturday morning, the cottage of Mr.
PRITCHA RD, builder, residing in Nurseryrow, near
Lark Hall, on the Wandsworth road, was entered by
thieves, who, after procuring a light, broke open the
drawers, and carried off the whole of Mr. and Mrs.
PRITCHARD'S wearing apparel of every description,
besides a quantity of plate, consisting of silver, table,
dessert, and tea-spoons, to the amount of upwards of
£5O. The robbers also regaled themselves with a
bottle of peppermint, which had been left in the par-
lour, and afterwards escaped with the booty.
Richard Greetisani, a private be to the 71st Regiment,
has been committed to Lincoln jail, charged with stealing coin
to the value et 41001slageina 1D $u &Muni of oweartburpe.

dettaasita -Actin f—Testerday. CosegtAikteilk, an excise-
maw* was brought up on a charge of felony. It appeared that 1
1 Mr. Hale, a tallOw-clumdler, in Cannon-street, having some sus-
picion that tho prisoner, or some of his official coadjutors, were in
the habit of maiming sea:arcs, not warranted by law or honesty,
placed his appreenice in the cellar on Sunday morning, the time
1 the prisoner usually took his survey, to watch him. He came,
41.111
the lad saw him select a paper of mould candles, weighing
about Sibs. from a box, and, dividing it into two parts, put one
in each pocket. There were two stray candles lying on a box,
which he also secreted. Having finished his survey on his own
account,• he proceeded to that for the King. and finding all cor-
rect, left the premises. The apprentice ran from his hiding place
to inform his master, and they called to the exciseman before he
had got many steps, but he quickened his pace, and said he was
lin a hurry to get to a neighbouring brewhouse. They both fol-
lowed, which he perceiving, began to run, and a chace ensued,
until the prisoner bolted into a cellar, near Salter's Hall, and
was taken by a constable coming from thence. The two candles
were found in his on, but the moulds he had thrown into
a copper hole. Mr. Hale had no doubt the candles produced
were his property, although he could not swear positively ; but
the evidence of the apprentice was deemed sufficient, and the
prisoner was fully committed.
MAILLSOZOUGLIATREIT.—Yeaerday, Mr. Fitz, of Millbank,
made a charge against a soldier of the 541 Regiment of Foot
Guards, for having entered his house. The prosecutor stated,
that in consequence of the late inundation, -his house was com-
pletely filled with water, and that on its being cleared away lie
Opened the whole of the windows, hi order that the place might
dry. Having occasion to go there in the morning, he ftsund the
prisoner on the top of the stairs; and having some property in
the rapper part of the house, he questioned him as to his business
there; when he answered, that he had a file of soldiers out,idt,
and he had received instructions to search his house, and offered
him great abuse; on which he gave him in custody to a watch-
man.—The prisoner was ordered to be locked up until the or-
derly serjeant was brought forward, to ascertain his general
character.

—J44ilioniptax was charged with a fraud. He had been sent
to a Miss Yates, with a note from an indigent relation named II
Weeks; soliciting alms, and had not only converted 51. he then
received to his own use, but went with other forged notes, and
obtained money. Understanding from these that Weeks was in
the workhouse, she went, and not finding her there, discovered
the fraud, and on the prisoner coming :gaits, gave him into cos-
tody.—Codunitted.
Qpsaa•souatin—A man who had lately leant a soldier in the
Foot Guards, was committed for a felony, attended with cir-
cumstances of the most shocking ingratitude. The prisoner,
being in distress, was relieved by Mrs. Caroline Hedge, of Wil-
derness-row, Chelsea, and on Saturday last she gave him a break-
fast, and promised to endeavour to procure him a situation.—
During her temporary absence he stole a silver watch from :he
mantlepiece. On the same night, Mr. Champion, the parish
constable, apprehended him in bed, at his lodgings, and found
the duplicate of the watch hi his breeches-pocket. Mrs. Hedge
identified the watch, which was produced by the pawnbroker.
The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and was fully committed.
The landlord of the Admiral Duncan, Charing-cross, %yes
summoned by a serjeant in the Grenadier Guards, to show cause
why he should not pay It'm the sum of £4, the value of a watch
and its appendages, which w_s stolen front the head of his bed
as he lay asleep, on Saturday night last. The serjeant was quar-
tered at the Admiral Duncan, and was put to sleep in a four-
betted room; lie hung hls watch on a hook at the bed-head, and
placed his cap over it; en Sunday morning when he awoke the
cap remained, but the watch, fice. bad been stolen during the
night. The landlord being examined, stated, that on Saturday
night, after the serjeant was gone to bed, a man dressed in tra-
velling clothes, of respectable appearance, who sail that he had
just arrived by one of the coaches, came to his house, took sup-
per, and asked for a bed. He was put into the room where the
serjeant slept, and left the house by six o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. Ile (the landlord) looked into the bed-room to see if flu:
bed-clothes were all right, and then let the stranger out, and he
Inuit have stolen the watch. The Magistrates referred to the
Statute, which renders it imperative on landlords to make good
to the full value all property stolen belonging to soldiers quar-
tered on them, travellers, /cc. while under their care, and they
adjudged that, in the present case, the landlord shou:d pay the
serjeant £4, as a compensation for his loss.
UNION-HALL—Yesterday, William Hind, Trillions Mueller!,
George Stevens, and trillions Borne, were brought before R. J.
Cita mores, Esq. charged with having robbed and assaulted Mr.
William Russell, of Paradise-street, Lambeth.—rstr. Russell
hobbled into the Office with difficulty upon crutches. One of
his legs had been broken, and he had suffered greatly the
inhumanity of his assailants. Ile stated, that on Christmas-day
last, as he was proceeding home about three o'clock in the after-
noon, he observed four or five men at sonic distance before him,
in l'aradise-street. Ile crossed to the opposite side of the way,
for the purpose of avoiding them, but was followed by Iliad,
who asked him what time of the day it was? Mr. Russell re-
ferred hiin to the parish clock, which was in sight. Madden
then crossed over, and with a desperate oath demanded to know
the cause of the altercation. Two other men immediately joined
Hind and Madden, and one of the party struck Mr. Russell a
violent *blow on the back of the head, which brought him to
the ground. He recovered himself in a short time, and rose,
but was a second time knocked down by a llow more violent
than the former, and deprived of sense or motion for some inn-
ments. While he was on the ground he received several kicks
on the body, and on recovering a little and attempting to move
from the place where he lay, be found that one of his legs was
broken.—Joseph Faun stated, that on going into the street he
saw Mr. Russell lying upon the ground, and the prisoners run-
ning away. lie identified all the prisoners.--John Ewitt, who
resides in the same street, also identified the prisoners.—They
were fully committed.
llow-staree.—Saturday, Mr. Marks Ridont, a genteel young
man, was brought up, charged with knocking at the door of Mr.
Poole, a tobacconist in the Strand, out of sport, at six o'clock
in the moruing.—Mr. Poole said the knocking was so furious
that he rhought the house was on tire ; the knocking and ring-
ing was repeated before he could slip on any of bis apparel, and
he hastened down as he was; when the prisoner mildly asked,
" Does Mr. Thompsontve here?"—" No, Sir," said Mr. Poole;
" I beg your pardoß4rejoined the other, and holding the door
to prevent its being closed, continued, " could you be kind
enough to tell me where he does live?"—Convinced this was a
repetition of the old joke of Maisie:sr Tintsqn, Mr. Poole rushed
on the stranger, and called the watchman ; but, after a struggle,
the prisoner ran off towards Temple-bar,-where he was stopped
and taken into custody.—Mt. Ridout now said, he was rather
intoxicated ; that he was come from the country to study the
law ; and that he was in search of a Mrs. Thompson.—The Ma-
gistrate ordered him to find bail; himself in £4O, and two
sureties in £2O each.

Mr. Horne, of the Golden-cross, Charing-crass, was fined 10s.
for a (Islay beyond six hours (the period allowed by the Act of
Parliament) in delivering a parcel sent by tte Rochester coach,
of which the defendant is proprietor, to• Mr. William Aubrey,
of Tooke's-court, Chancery-lane. The parcel consisted of a finb
turkey, which arrived in town at four o'clock on Chriimas-eve,
and of which Mr. Aubrey invited some friends to partake on
Christmas-day. He did not receive the turkey, however, until
three o'clock in the afternoon of the Following day ; and to pre-
vent his friends from being disappointed, he had been under the
necessity of purchasing another in the meantime for their Christ-
mas dinner.

Tuesday night, the Office of Jolts ALEXANDER,
Esq. at Miliord, near Carlow, was broken open, out
of which guineas and sovereigns to the amount of
about £l5O were taken.
•

An old man named HUSK um, residing at Ide Hill,
Sundridge, having received£loo, he kept it for secu-
rity about his person; but a few days ago, some person
robbed him of all the earnings of a long lite of labour.
PUBLIC DEPAULTER.--.-It is said that the defaulter
at the Navy Pay Office, who left this country a few
months ago, has been stopped at Charleston, in Ame-
rica, and had surrendered about £9,000 to the Agent
of the British Government who had been sent after
him, and was suffered to depart.
Fiaa—At eight o'clock on Thursday evening, a fire
was discovered in a stack of .hay, standing in St. Mary
