MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

It will be recollected, tbat an order of aililiatirn
was stades' few days ago, by the Magistrates of now-
street,. against Mr. KLAN, the Actor, with direction
that he should pay a week, for the mainte-
nance of a bastard 'child, of which a young roman
had sworn he was the father. Mr. Kean's Solicittr
at the same time said, he should appeal against the
order; and that he could prove that his client was::.
least two hundred miles from London, for three
months, namely, from the latter end of Augu.t
year, to the latter end of November. The mother
of the child bad sworn that the illicit connection tool
place about the latter end of September, and the tircc
of the birth of the child corresponded with that ck-
claration. Mr. Kean now attended to make his ap-
peal, accompanied by his servant, and other wit-
nesses, to prove the fact above stated.
The mother of the child was put into the box. Ski
was very young, and proved to be one of the proqi:
tutes who frequent Catherine-street and White Harr,
yard. On being asked by the Court who was the
ther of the child, to the great astonishment-of ti
whole auditory, she declared she did not know.
Mr. Kean was, of course, discharged from his le-
cognizances.

Saturday night, Mr. Wootton, of the George Inn,
Dorchester, in Oxfordshire, was, on his return front
Oxford, thrown from his horse and killed on the spat.
Thursday night, between eight and nine o'clock.
as George Welfare, pne of the Constables of South-
wark, was walking along the Dover-r,ad, his atten-
tion was attracted by a moaning noise, which seemei
*to proceed from a small field at the end of Dove:-
street. He hastened to where he thought the voice
proceeded from, and as he approached closer, he be-
held it man stretched on the ground. The Oaks:
,lifted him up, but it was some time before he could
persuade him he was safe. At length he sufferv.i
himself to be carried into the road, and from tl,ence
to a surgeon, where he was properly dressed. Mere
were three desperate wounds on the head, and- one
on the cheek, supposed to have been inflicted by some
heavy weapon; his clothes were torn and bloody—
The account he gave of the circumstance was, this:
he was a stranger to the neighbourhood ; that while
crossing the field where the Officer found him. ls
was attacked by a number of thieves and wontes,
who beat him with sticks until he was stunned, and
then took his watch and pocket-book, in which he
had five pounds in notes, besides a few shillings in
silver, with which they made off, leaving him in dist
deplorable situation. The attack was so sudden, that
he could not identify any of the robbers.
REMARKABLEACCIDENT.—A singularcircumstanse
lately took place at the Coreedie Francaise, Paris. 13sp-
TISTE, who was playing the part of a Bailiff, drew
from his pocket a paper to represent the warrant by
virtue of which he exercised his authority. hat was
his astonishinent on reading the name of one of his
female relations, who, through ignorance of a will
which had been made in her favour at Dresden, was
deprived of a Considerable fortune bequeathed to
her by her uncle. The paper was a true copy of this
will. ilarrtsra uttered several exclamations of sur-
prise, accompanied by such comic gesticulations, that
the Theatre resounded with applause. The audience
were, however, far from suspecting the real cause.—
,Beiprisre, having carefully deposited the paper is
his pocket, continued his part, and on the foliowing
day,. communicated the discovery .to his rolatioa,
whose claims will probably be speedily acknow-
ledged. This strange adventure is explained as id-
lowss—Some time ago, a party of the performers of
the Comedie Francaise proceeded to Dresden, to play
in the presence of the Sovereigns who were assem-
bled in that city. Among ether scenic accessories,
they found it necessary to procure a number of old
parchments ; and it is probable that the document is
question has ever since remained in the pocket of the
dress worn by Berrtsrz when he made the fortunate
discovery.
ELl:mt.—The leaves of the elder-tree are often put
into the subtcrraueous paths of the moles, to drive
them from the garden. if fruit-trees, flowering
shrubs, corn, or vegetables, be wiped with the green
loaves of elder branches, insects will not attach to
them. An infusion of these leaves in water is good
.to sprinkle over rose-buds and other flowers subject
to blights and the devastations of caterpillars.
