have been, according to your own statements, asso-

with beings who are unworthy to live in the society of
Christians, or to associate with any but the beasts of
the field. If the Gentleman whom you assaulted had
been intimidated by your vile threats, and had given
you a single farthing, you would now have had only

you be transported beyond the seas for seven years;

with whom you consort, that if they get money
by the practices to which you have resorted, they
will die at last by the hand of the common execu-
tioner: and if they do not, they will receive the sante
sentence as you have just received.

man, gave him the thanks of the Court for the ac-
tivity he had shewn in apprehending the prisoner, and
told him that the utmost expenses the law could
award him should be given, for the loss of time and
trouble which he had undergone in attending on this
prosecution.

A rumour was current yesterday in the political
circles, that his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON,
instead of returning immediately to England, by
way of Paris, had agreed to accompany the two EM-
PERORS to Venice, and afterwards to Florence, and
from thence take his departure for England.
The fog was so dense in the metropolis this fore-
noon, that most of the public offices, and many of
the shops) particularly in the City, were obliged to be
lighted up.
It is again reported that considerable reductions in
our several public departments will take place at
Christmas next.

Wednesday afternoon, during a heavy surf, a boat
containing five men, a woman, and two children, at-
tempting to land at Fort Twiss, Hythe, was upset at
a short distance before the boat came to the shore.
Lieutenant HELLARD of the Royal Navy, and Mr.
SHALLARD, master's mate, on perceiving the acci-
dent, immediately ordered out the seamen from the
Fort for assistance, themselves setting a gallant
example, by divesting themselves of their timer
clothing, and plunging into the surf, at imminent
personal risk ; and by their prompt exertion and
example, succeeded in saving the whole of the boat's
crew from a watery grave. One of the seamen un-
fortunately had two ribs broken, and two others re-
ceived severe contusions. The whole rescued party
had every attention paid to them at the Fort, and im-
mediate medical assistance; and we are happy to
leant are likely to do well.
ROYAL ACADENlY.—Yesterday, the 10th, being the

James Bayley was indicted for stealing three deal
boards, value 18d. from Messrs. Lawrence and Co.
yin, timber-merchants, of Hoxton. The peculiar
feature of the case was this—that the principal evi-
dence against the prisoner was a young woman (Ly-
dia Church), to whom he would have been married
a few days subsequent to the robbery. This witness,
who gave her evidence with tears, and fainted as
soon as she quitted the box, proved that Bayley had
brought the wood to her mother's house, saying that
it was his, and that he intended to make a tahle of it.

James Brittle, a servant of the prosecutors, proved,
the planks to be their property.
Bayley, who had himself been in the service of
Lawrence and Covin, gave this account of the trans-
action: —He had received the deals from the fore-
man of the concern, to be worked up in a given
way ; having boards of his own by him which an.
swered the given purpose just as well, he had made
use of his own wood, and kept that of his masters.
The foreman alluded to (who was brother to the
witness Brittle) was not called ; but Brittle said that
he had reason to believe the prisoner's statement true,
so far as regarded the receipt of the deals. As to his
having worked up his own wood, of that he knew
nothing.
The prisoner said he had been 16 years a soldier ;
and the same witness (Brittle) spoke of him as a ge-
nerally honest and industrious man.
The Jury, after some resistance on the part of one
gentleman, returned a verdict of Nat Guilty.
