WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.

iVal

These Sessions commenced yesterday. before Mr.
Cossr, Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates.
Michael Hartnett, and five other Irishmen, named
Cormetly, Donne!, Mackay, Drury, and Herbert, were
indicted for a riot and assault on the SOth of April last,
in the parish of St. Gtorge, Hanover square.
Mr. ALLEY stated the facts to the Jury, and called
witnesses, from whose testimony it appeared that the
defendants, having been employed in building a chapel
'in South Audley-street, adjourned, on the day abovet
mentioned, to a neighbouring public-house to drink
porter. While there, a misunderstanding aro•e between
them and three or four other men, who were also drink-
ing porter in the same house, upon which the former
attacked the latter, and severe injuries were inflicted nn
both sides. Hartnett, however, who was the ringleadel
of his party, seemed to have come off worst, for he had
his head dreadfully cut, and his arm broken. After
they had been put out of the public-house, they coutt-

nned their riotnns conduct in the street, and the deten-
dant O'Dminel actually ran at, and bit a groom in the
calf of the leg, who was riding quietly by at the. time.
' Mr.- Prin.t.tPa ad tressed the Jury at comidenble
length on behalf of the drfendants.
The Seq. after half an hnitr's delift-ratloni [mind'
Hartnett Guilty of the assatrl., and alf-tht defendants

The Racoansa, in passing sentence, commented upon
the enormity of the prisoner's conduct, and observed
that it was fortunate for him that loss of life had not en-
sued. As a warning to other persons of his situation
in life, the Court felt it their duty to pass a severe sen-
tence, which was, that he be imprisoned six months in
the Borough Compter, and pay a fine of 101." to the
Bing; and be further imprisoned until such a fine

WEST COWES, OCT. 11.

Last night, about ten o'clock. the London coaster
smack Happy Return, of and from Penzance, William
Woodcock master, laden with tin, Pound to London,
while at anchor to the westward of the buoy of Warden
Ledge, brought her anchors home, and drifted on the
Ledge, and almost immediately sunk; the master and
two male passengers were washed overboard, and were
saved by a boat; two men and one boy belonging to
the vessel, and a pilot from Yarmouth (who just before
went on board to render assistance to the, vessel, as
well as to take off Mr. Wavell, a surgeon. from New-
port), were airs saved by getting in the vessel's rigging,
and remaining a short time. until assistance arrived
from the shore, which rescued them from their perilous
situation. We are sorry to relate, four women passen-
-I,ers and two children, about fifteen months old, were
drowned in the Tessera cabin ; and Dr. Wavell was
washed overboard, and also met a watery grave. It
appears Mrs. Acres, one of the women, yesterday morn-
ing, off St. Alban's, was delivered of a stillborn chi d ;
and as soon as the vessel got within the Needles, and
anchored, medical assistance was required, when Dr.
Wavell was sent for, and lost no time in repairing from
Newport on board. His loss will be not only a severe
one to his respectable family, but to the whole island in
general. The names of the unfortunate women drowned
were, Mrs. Acres, Mrs. Arthur, Miss Mary Oats, and
Miss Colanso.

At eight o'clock yesterday morning, a tremendous
explosion spread consternation at Dartford and the -
rounding neighbourhood, and was heard at a great
distance by travellers. It proceeded from the blowing
up of the powder mills of Messrs. Wilkes, by .which
calamitous accident three men were killed and four
missing. •

some person or Felons unknown was returned.'

LONDON MEDICO-BOTANICAL SOCIETY•

The fire Meeting of the eighth Session of this highly
important and interesting Institution took place last
night at the Society's Room, Sackville-street, Piccadilly;
the President, Sir JANIS *Glutton, in the Chair.
The minutes of the last Meeting were read by the
Secretary, which recapitulated, among other matters,
the election of his Majesty the King of Wurtembetg to
be an Honorary Member ; of the. Marquis of Coning-
ham, and other Noblemen, to be Fellows; and of Sir
Anthony Carlile, Mr. goalie, and other Gentlemen, to
be Members of the Society, or proposed for such. The
Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdown (by acclamation),
Admiral Earl Notthesk, and the Marquis of Donegal,
'were admitted Fellows butt:slier ; and the Brazilian
Ambassador, and his Majesty the King of Bavaria,
were elected Honorary Members. The lists of dona-
tions of books and plants were next read ; after which
several new Members were formally introduced and
received.

Mr. Faottr (Director and Lecturer of the Society)
then proceeded to read an addmt, in which he took a
comprehensive view of the objects, formation, and pro-
gress of the Society. When he bad arrived at that pe-
riod of its transactions (Jan. 1827) the Lecturer condoled
with the Society on the loss it had sustained by the
death of its late Illustrious Patron, his Royal Highness
the Duke of York, on whose virtues he pronounced a
warm eulegium. Mr. Frost next congratulated the
Society on the acceptance of the office of Patron by
his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Lord High
Admiral, and of the accession of his Grace the Duke
of Wellington to the ranks of its Members. The Lectures
then deck at considerable length on the advantages
likely to result from the extended knowledge of botany
among the medical profession, and congratulated the
Society oa the progressive increase of their numbers.
Sir JOHN LILLY moved, that the address which had
been just delivered should be printed, and that the
thanks of the Society be given to Mr. Frost.
Both of which Resolutions were unanimously agreed to.
Letters and donations of seeds, arc. were then read

(tom the King of Bavaria, the Brazilian Ambassador,
and various individuals, among which were some spe-
cimens of plants said to be efficacious in the cure of
Hydrophobia. The announcement of a donation by a
Mr. Weston of a book, containing an account of the
plants existing before the Deluge, excited a general and
long continued laugh. Other routine business of the
Society was then dispatched, and the Society, after a
few words from the President, adjourned aver to Friday,
the 12th of November next.

The room was decorated with some very fine Palms,
Plaintains. the Tea Tree, and other rare shrubs and
plants. The table was strewed profusely with speci-
mens of most of the flowers and flowering shrubs now
in bloom,—together with some very fine Evergreens
from the gardens (as we we informed) of the Lord
High Admiral and Prince Leopold. All the proceedings
11 appeared to give unmixed satisfaction to a numerous
and highly respectable auditory.

GUILDHALL.

Thomas Slade, the tad in tlie employment of 'Mr. Coates, the
baker, iu Warwick.laae, was rowmarnined, on suspicion of having
embezzled a 101. note, eke property of his master.
Mr.Coutts ittated,that he had not yet heard any tidings of the note,
but the man Who was drinking ale with the prisoner had called, and
stated that the priswier avowed to him hie intention- to steal
the note.
Winch, the man alluded to, being present, wait interrogated by
the Alderman. He said that the'rhoner acknowledged to him,
while they were drinking, that be had received between 41. and 5/.
from his master's customers, whit* be had not accounted for;- and
that therefore he must do as his (Winch's) son did—affect to lose
the 101. note. The prisoner'. fellow-screams fetched hint away,
and at the instance of witness, attempted ti get the Mite [tom him.
As he went away with two of •Mr. Cootts's men, and was so near
Mr. Contts's house, witness old not suppose that the prisoner could,
even if he seriously entertained the project, carry his intention of '
losing the 101. note into effect, and therefore he did nut say any
thing about it.
Mr. Coutts raid, helsad heard Which was seSn in' the prisoner's
company after he ran away from hie k4low *truants; but Wench
. .

posiiiveiy asserted that this was untrue.
Mr. Alderman Arrant said he bad no doubt of the prisoner's
guilt, and he would therefore remand him again, to give Mr.
Coutta an opportunity of tracing the note.—The prisoner was re-
manded till Tuesday.

A poor woman made application to Mr. CONANT under the fol-
lowing circumstances. She had bought a pair of shoes for her

husband in

which aite was taking home, when

one of the street-keepers accused her of stealing them, and though
she informed him where she bought them, and offered to accom-
pany him to the shop, he 'mined on taking her to the watch-
house, where she was confined several hours. At length be
c.ime to her, saying, perhaps she did not steal them, but if taken
to Priarlborough-street Mee, even in that case, abe would have to

MARY•LA BONNE.

77mens Whce%► was charged with highway robbery. Richard
Harrison, of Charles-street, Lissoo-green, stated, that as be was
crossing Harper's-fields, about half-past II &clod' on Thursday
night, three men knocked bim down; one of them placed his hand
over his nibuth, while' the others rifled his pocket of 12i. and then
they ran away. He cried stop thief, which was heard by a Mr.
Edwards, who followed and secured the prisoner. The prisoner
said be had no concern in the robbery—it was committed by Elijah
Harlow and James Haynes. into whom company he accidentally
fell at a public-house. He ran away, from fear of being charged
with it. Barlow and Haynes being well known as reputed thieves,
Mr. }lOllllll ordered Hooper and. Webster (dicers) immediately
to apprehend them ; and they found Hies eating at a house of ill
fame in Richmond street, Pornatan-grelo. They were locked up
for examination.

W. Morris, W. Peitipher, and E. J•nes, were remanded, charged
with stealing two coats and two hankerchief,, belonging to Mr.
Fox, in Church-street. Lisson-grove. It appeared that white the
servant went to fetch water, for the purpose of cleaning the steps
at the door, the prisoners entered, and stole the above attacks from
the passage.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday a Lady of independent fortune, and wife of a Gentle-
man employed in the Spanish service, together with a baker, were
brought before W. A. A. Werra, Bag. by William Welsh,* watch-
man in the Grosvenor-place district, charged with indecently ex-
posing their persons in the street.
Welsh stated, that as he was going his rounds on Thursday night,
about a quartet past ten o'clock, at the top of Coleshill-street, Pim-
lico, he found the defendants lying on the pavement. (Tim watch-
man here desctibed t►e situation of the parties, which decency for-
bids us to relate.) He took them both into custody, anti conveyed
them to the watehhoese.

PERTH, DECIMIER 20.

A fine horse, belonging to tom!' of the dealers at-
tending An'rewsmas market, on Friday last, was taken
by a stable-boy to the Tay to water. The boy spurred
the animal to leap over one of the chains between the
poles at the North Inch, in attemptirig which one of his
legs was broken. lie was brought to the Horse. Cross,
where the owner refused to take poissess;on, saying that
he amid hold the stabler responsible for his value. The
poor animal, thus neglected by all, stood, shivering.with
cold and pain, all Friday night and pa.t of Saturday;
on three legs, with the bone protruding through the skin
of the fourth without sustenance of any description.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The extent of piens:set which have thus fallen a my
to the destructive element, may be stated to be about
100 feet in length, 60 in depth, and 70 in height. The
whole of the costly furniture and effects in this exten-
sive range was destroyed; so that the premises are pow
a mere shell.

Mr. Dallimore's loss, of the Turk's Head, most be
very considerable ; as. nearly all his furniture was de-
stroyed ; and seven or eight pieces of strong beer, con 1
gaining from 2 to 3,000 gallons each, which were in his
cellars, burst, and of course the contents were lost. A
quantity of malt and hops were also consumed. We,
lament to add, that Mr. D. was not insured. We have
not been able to learn whether Mr. Knight and Mr.]
Simpkins were insured or not.
Two men were apprehended by the police, for em-
bezzling some of the property ; and one, for being
fourtd drunk on the premises of York House.
Hata PAST TweLve, r.►t.—Since writing the above,
the part of the building above the sadist's shop, which
was of great height, has fallen in with a tremendous
crash. No injury done.—Bath .Geseite.
The lower tiers of blittliis in several private wine-
cellars at Chichester have been found to be more or
iless broken, owing, as is conjectured, to the shock of an
earthquake, which was felt there, and on other parts of
the southern coast, about three years ago.
Yesterday about one o'clock, a melancholy accident
occurred on the Thames. Two young men, about 20
years of age, were observed rowing a boat towards the
line of barges lying on the Surrey side of the River,
and after some difficulty succeeded in gaining a barge,
when the person who sat at the head of the boat rose
and attempted to catch hold of the side of the barge:l
but owing to the strength of the current the boat
citified away, and precipitated the young man into the
river; his companion threw out a rope, which the ether
bold for nearly five minutes, but before any assistance
could arrive, he sunk to rise no more. His companion,
in attempting to save the youth, fell also into the river,
and was carried by the stream nearly to Southwark
Bridge, where he was picked up.

HAYMAkKET TIIICATRE.

A new Comedy, in two acts, called Spring and
Adonen, was brought out last night at the Haymarket
Theatre: it is from the pen of Mr. KINNEY, and dis.
plays the usual good taste and vivacity wi ich distinguish
the productions of that writer. The story of the. piece
turns chiefly upon the perplexities ana difficultle, of a
widow of 50, Mrs Rattle, who, being resolved, smite qui
coute, to have a yorsa4 husband, marries a C4ptain in
the army less than hill her own age, and considerably
encumbered with dtbt.TheLady's specula ion, as may be
supposed, is Unfortunate ; and the subjection of her
hustsand in the beginning.of the first act, rises into open
rebellion before the end of the second. The part of this
excellent helpmate himself becomes a leading one in
the phy, and is particularly well played by Mr.
Coons, who, in the scene where he returns drunk from
the Kink's Bench prison, and resolves " to be master of
his own hbuse," exhibited a degree of comic talent for
which we had not given him et edit. Mr. Cooraa is cer-
tainly an imposing actor; and Mrs. CLIFFORD is also
available in the character of Mrs. Ralik l better than we
recollect to have found her since her appearance at the
Theatre. The matrimonial differences of these parties are
occasioned chiefly by two grounds of quarrel—some new
demand for money arising every half hour on the part of
the Gentleman, and some fresh jealousy on the side of the
wife; and the torment of the latter is completed by
the presence of a female cousin and of an orphan
niece (of whom she cannot decently get rid), but with
both'ot whom she convinces herself that her husband,
is in love. Mrs. Giosfaa plays the "cousin," Mrs.,
General Dartmouth, a st military woman" whose whole
discourse is couched in the vocabulary of the guard
house, and fights her campaigns and parades her,
techni•alities, with considerable effect. The niece is
the' young Lady" of the drama, performed by Miss
Gtoven, and designed for the wife of Sir Simon Slack
(Mr. W. FARRIN); who, however, is induced to change
his intention, and marries the cousin, .Mrs Dartmouth,
instead ; and there is a Major Osmond, who is brought
on to be the true lover of the young Lady, whom this
old Gentleman rejects. The weight of the action, how-
ever, lies upon Mr. Comma and Mrs. CLIFFORD; whose
constant quarrels keep the House attensive and in good
humour during four fifths of a piece of considerable
length. The play was received, and announced for
repetition, with general applause; and will be entitled
Ito tate its rank among the successful productions of the
season.

DIEPPE.

The gaiety of Dieppe continues undiminished, every day being
successively devoted so some fresh object of pleasure, for the amuse-
ment of the Duchess de Bent Modal Is still Isere, with Madame
Cothran Rossini, and also Hadermaun ;
.and they have several
times had the honour of performing before her Royal Highness.--
A few days age the Duchess visited the ruins et the Chateau
d'Areques, a most beautiful spot about three or four miles
from Dieppe. On this occasion a piece of musk composed by
Rossii.i was performed by the above three personas It is no
longer expected here that Charles X. will pay the whit, which
had been expected, to Dieppe; since, by the time he returns
from his journey to St. Omer, the season will have advanced
considerably. The town continues quite full, and will probably
be so till the departure of the Duchess for Paris. The sailors of
the port have given a fete in honour of her Royal Highness,
+which caused an immense assembly of spectators. Owing to the
great influx of passengen by the steam-packets from England, the
traffic of the harbour has increased considerably, and the town is kept
thereby in a state of constant bustle. The hotels overflOw with guests.
Several balls and concerts have been given; nor does the Declaimed.
Berri confine her attention to objects of *mum mrot alone. Under the
direction of her itoyal Highness antiquarian researches have been
made ih the vicinity of the town, and several interesting relics
brought to light. In short, the Princess and the people seem to be
mutually delighted with each other; and the later have peculiar
reason to be charmed, for since her Royal highness commenced
these anuual visits to Dieppe, the town has made rapid strides from
the comparative obscurity in wisfek it was b. foto buried. The
Duchess went over, a frw Jays ago, to Eu, which is about four or
live miles from Dieppe, where she was met by the Duke d'Orleans
and has family.

A WANDERER.

Friday week, the 24th ult. a poor man, who had been
wandering about Galloway and Dumfriesshire for
months, was put into a cart and conveyed to Kirkeud•
bright, from a farm-house in the neighbourhood. His
legs and thighs were covered with sores, which had
began to mortify from want of proper dressing, and his
general health was also in a deplorable state. His beard
bore ample testimony to the fact that no razor had
crossed it for years; his combined and matted locks had
remained uncut for an equal length of time; and also-
gether his appearance was so frightful, that the owners
of .he very humble,t lodgings positively refused to hive
any thing to do with him, until the Minister of the
parish humanely interfered, and got the Magistrates to
issue a warrant on the subject. An asylum was then
provided for the wanderer; but he did not occupy it
long, for although every attention was paid to him, he
died in the course of the following day. Ho. was able
to speak until within a few minutes of his death ; but he
repeatedly refused to reveal hisname, and when pressed
on the subject, faintly muttered, " never, never." He
admitted, however, that he came from Newcastle, and
both his language and tone of voice indicated that he
bad seen better days, and was superior to the ordinary
class of mendicants. He was apparently between 50
and 40 years of sge, stoutly made, with red hair, fea-
tures strongly marked, stood about 5 feet 10 inches;
and should this paragraph ever meet the eye of his re-
latives, it will be a satisfaction to them to know that
his remains were decently interred at the expense of the
Kirk Session of Kirkcudbright.—We have traced the
above character through a number of places, in all of
which he excited a good deal of interest. His style of
language was figto alive and scriptural, and though ob.
vlously deranged, he talked rationally on a variety of
subjects. He never asked for alms, but thankfully took
what was given to him, avoiding strong driuk, aid
living exclusively on milk and vegetables. He said he
was a Nazarite under a vow, and had received a mission
to warn mankind of their trespasses and sins; that he
was born to govern the world with a rod of iron; that
he had a vial of wrath to pour out on the present gene.
ration; and that be would be seen riding at the last day
on woof the horses mentioned in the Revelations. One
Lady, who was very kind to him, and at whose house he
had been kept several nights, was anxious to know his
name and the place of his nativity; but his answer was,
that his vow enjoined silence on these heads," and added,
"but this bed is not like that I was accustomed to lie
in." The same individual wished to get his sores dressed,
bat he sternly refused, observing " that the hand of Gou
should not be intermeddled with..-.Dumfries Courier.

THE MARKETS.

Our supplies having arrived very sparingly this week, we bad
more demand for almost every ankle; and as t►e samples of Wheat
and Barley' came rather damp and rough, eft dry samples of Wheat
and Barley obtained fdonday's prices. Beans were much uooght
after, but as the factors demanded exorbitant prices, no sales have
been effected. Oats command Monday's prices, and sales rather
brisk. In other articles no alteration.
