SHIPIVREC'KS.

Owing to the continued gales of wind from the
North-east, several ships are on shore upon Yar.
month coast, viz.:—Prince Henry,CaptainDown.
ing, in ballast, on Haaborough beach, crew sup.
posed to have all perished, as only one Man was

Capt. Robertson, to the south of the pier, crew
saved; ship gone to pieces, coals lost.... The Tito.
Inas, William Wood, ashore on Yarmouth beach,
crew saved ; the cargo, consisting of beasts and
lrou, it is expected, will be all saved..-.A great
deal of reek and floats of fishing.tiets were seen
on Sunday in Yarmouth Roads, and several ships
have cut their anchors, and- run fur that harbour
and Harwich.
A foreign vessel from Hull to Tonningen, is bal.;
List, foundered atsca ; the crew, consisting of trie
Captain and seven men, saved themselves in the
lung.boat, and I.r.ded safe. A fishing vessel, bot.
torn upwards, belonging to Cromer, was towed -on
shore by the shore boats ; crew and nuts all- lost :
the master and one of the men have bees washed on
shore.
A brig was observed to founder off Lowestoft on
Saturday, and all the crew lost. A black and
a white buoy, from the quantity of fishing-nets got
around, passed through the roads, having !broke
from their moorings. -
Between 40 and 50 light ships cut and run for
Harwich. T. -fishing merchants of Yarmouth must
have suffered very severely, from the quantity of
mets u hick have been seen to pass, the boats not hay.
ing come in, the loss cannot be ascertained.

A melancholy accident happened on Monday
ae'nnighl, at the ash manufactory of Mr. D, Neil-
son, -Leith :.—As a young man, Was adjusting a
pump which he was using for pumping boiling alka-
line lees froM a large pan, four feet deep, into an.
Other pan, in standing on the edge of die former,
the pimp, 'trot being properly fastened, came, to
bim, by whicb he fell back into the boiling lees.
nis cries brought some people to the spot, who'
trirelrhim 9114 but, we are sorry to say, he is so
dreadfully scalded that little hopes are entertained
of hie Recovery. •
A French Physician, M. DELULL, has recently
transmitted to the National Institute, a description
of the real nature and properties of the Celt;:
bruted Bohan Upas, or poison tree of airs. '7Sd.
prevailed with much dlfficolty 4in the
Cu es toshew him the tree ; and he justly remarks, In
odntradicling the absurd notion of its diffusing
noxious effluvia in the atmosphere, that the climb.
lug ;pecks requires the support of other plants to
attain 'its usual growth. Re collected SMae Of tbe
pc;ison by mating an , incision.in the beet of 'the
tree; and from the experiments made with iron
different animals, he concludes -that this peculiar
species of vegetable poison acts eat:resin!), un the

A cwpse was picteJ Nip on Pombrey Sands last

of age, had a ring on his linger, w ith. two hilipds
united engraved on it, and asilk handkerchief alfout
Nis waist, but in every other respect was in a state
of nudity; his hair and whiskers were trimmed in
the military fashion. Every respeil was shown to
the body, which was interred in Pembrey Church.

111DDLESEIY SESSIONS(

• - PERJURY.
Frandi Bret/waits was indicted far perjutr.—
It appeared that the Prisoner had sworn to a cir-
cumstance grounded in falsehood, brit wH asseirted
in an alfulalit exhibited kt the Dann of King's
Bench, on the 30th June, 1808, for the purpose•of
obtainingo Kaled Court, calling on ooe Reuther
to deliver up cerNin deeds, which Francis britith-
waite swore that he had left in the possession of said
Pember, at the desire add request of John Kay.
Mr. POOLLY observed to the Jury, that that
statement was untrue; that Kay never so advised
Braithwaite, as the latter had. sworn, nor hadiany
deeds been received by Pember from the persoo et
the bar.
William Martin,. Clerk of the ltica, predlined-
sin office-copy of the Rile, fur the production of
the deckle, and Braithwaite's affidavits eg,
the Rate was granted.
Challes Boyd, Clerk to the Master in theceurt
'if- King's Bench, proved that the signature to ;the,
ibtfidavit was the hand-writing- of Mastg Foster,
which signified that he had sworn —Braithwaiiat
Mrs Pember swore that the signaturh at the,bott.
torn of the affidavit was the baud-writing afilialth4n
waite as did Mr. Carl..
Thesffidavit, which was a very long ones Iva'
then read, when

" 9 -
Mr. KVAPP took an objectiOn to the'indietrnealtp
contending Wit a sufficient quantity of the affidavit
was not eontained in it ; that a few lines had beelei
extracted, after which the Prosecutor had thought.i
it *efficient to steer the fact. 1
-.•
Mr. PtitotcY, on the contrary, equtended,.thatl
to have extracted more of the affidavit would have
been jestly tetrned by the Omit impertinent and.
superfluous; aid beheld., that it was necessary to--
aver that such Was trot done with tha.deixl as this at.s
&kilt stated. - ' . • • -
Mr._ KNAPP firrthereontended, in support of his
objection, that the-averment in the indictment:was'
not sufficient; -for when alluding to " deeds" men.
tinned in that part -of the affidavit extracted, the'
indictment said and only said, " the said deeds."
Mr. POOLEY replied, that the deeds alluded to
werethose as-averred in the Rule iii these words,
" to show cause why the tiai(l Richard Pemher
should not deliver up .to the said Francis Braith.
waite, the title-deeds alleged to hare been kir
with the said Richard Pcuiber by lite said Fran..,j
cis Braithwaite."
One of the Bench observed, that the indictment
'said, first; " certain deeds„". then ever afterwards
lilitided to " the said' deeds ;" and thought they'
ought to have been specific 1y named ; but after
it had been contended that the same deeds were
meant, as Braithwaite termed "z title:4o4s" in his
'affidavit, the prosecution was 4,11-tiweikto gpstn,..l ,-- '
Richard PeanAters swore, Alt he nevax!,reeelvelP
any deeds from-Braithwaite, .that had been itaktled
over' to him by John 'Kay.; and Mr. kap sFure,
that he never had so 'ittliisid Braithwaite as *ho

but a few days after he ,had been so patio possession
of the vessel, he was forcibly turned out by the

Mr. COMMON SEnJEANT commented nn the cue,
and told the Jury, that if the had any Wit that
the Prisoners were seen by the Prosecutor in the act
of stealing, they should declare so ie their yenta;
as, if the goods were not taken privately, the
capital part of the charge would be got rid of. Vs
act had been made pertien!arly for the proteationd
shopkeeplers, whose attention could not possibly
be directed, amidst a multiplicity of business, to
every individual who might come to deal with
them.—Verdict, Guilty; but not of stealing pti-'
vately.
The CommON SEELYFAST then addressed the Pri:
'loners, and after a suitable admonition to them es' tfg
heininsness of their offence, add the suliseeePt
aggravation of it by their Tondoct, aspired tie!.
that it was a great stretch of. tie Jury's basal
that they weft rapt ,capitally la Ased!,
as well to punish them as to deter aU others rb
might be pursuing the same courses, the Court OPd
tenced them to " transportation for seven-ows."
On sentence being passed, Jones, an intertiftiat
