MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

John Carroll, a boy of twelve years of age, was con-
victed of picking Major Carter's pocket of a handker-
chief; he had been convicted of a similar offence last
Session, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment.—
The COURT now sentenced him to three months in the
House of Correction, and to be whipt.
Henry Dover, a boy of ten years, was convicted of
stealing potatoes in Covent-garden market, and sen-
tenced to be imprisoned a month, and whipt.
John Thompson, a young man who said he was a
surgeon, was convicted of stealing a hat, and sentenced
to tour months hard labour in the House of Correction.
Several charged with picking pockets were acquitted.

MELA NCIIOLY ACCIDENT.—Sunday forenoon, about
eleven o'clock, as a number of persons, assembled on
the east side of the Prince's Dock, Liverpool, and on a
long stage extending to a ship lying the second from
the quay, were watching some boys who were trying to
take an empty bottle out of the water, their accumtr
laced weight broke one of the under bearers or cross
bars which was lashed to the spars, and upon which the
planks re,ted, and immediately upwards of thirty per-
sons were precipitated into the water, but all, except
five, were rescued from a watery grave. The bodies of
those five were conveyed to two public-houses, in Roberts-
street North, where they were attended by Mr. T. W.
DAVIES, surgeon, St. Paul's-square, and Mr. DAWSON,
surgeon, who were on the spot very soon after the acci-
dent, and by their exertions succeeded in restoring ti e
suspended animation of a young man, named Gt iffiths ;
and they also perseveringly, for several hours, tried
every means with two of the others, but without sutcess.
The sufferers are—
Peter Wilkinson, recently from Manchester, a volunteer from the
Lancashire Militia, going to the 84th Regiment, in Ireland.
Richard Thomas, 16, son of one of the street watchmen.
Thomas Rose, 19, apprenticed to a blacksmith.
John Ainsworth, 19, apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, and son
of one of the police-officers.
John Holbert, 16, apprenticed to Mr. Crompton, paper-dealer,

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JULY 9.
The arrivals of this week arc—English Wheat, 6,850 quarters ;
Barley, 480 qrs. Oats, 22,100 qrs. Irish Oats, 2,800 qr.. Flour,
7,500 sacks. The quantities being large and the weather being now
very fine, causes great dulness to prevail in the sale of all sorts of
Corn. Wheat hardly supports the terms of Monday, and inferior
sorts are unsaleable. Barley supports last quotations. Beans are
very dull and rather cheaper. Oats arc abundant, and Is. per qr.
lower than on Monday last.
London Averages fur the week ended July 3.—Wheat, 7,650
qrs. at 635. 4d. Barley, 276 qrs. at 545. 3d. 041, 15,344 qrs. at
