'!`h Jury returned a verdict for the Defendants.

The Lkerpool Courier designates Mr. Brough-
ham's eloquent and argumentative speech as mere in-
flammable gas, light anti unsubstantial l It appears,
however, that this inflammable gas has at length
blown up these celebrated monuments of Ministerial
folly.

Om Tuesday afternoon, during a severe thander
storm, as a man, his wife, and daughter, were at
work in kbrick-kilu, near the York-road, about
two miles from Boroughbridge, the girl was struck
dead by the lightning; the man, from the same cause,
quite lost the use of both his legs, and the woman
her arms.

SUICIDE.—The village of Alperton, where Bowler
shot .ti 'Mr. Barrows, has been the scene of another
deplorable event. A respectable farmer of the name
of Kidney was, found drowned in a Oond at the back
of Mr. I3urrows's house, on Monday morning. He
had left his men hay-making on Saturday morning,
and Was not heard of until found -'ku the situation
above described. Tlie rash act is suppostKl to have
been occasioned by the deceased having suffered very
considerable* losses in consequence of the wet
weather. The rain on Friday last had completely
swamped a rick of hay unfinished, coaklning many
score load, and worked him into a stafftof despoil-
deney yereertniblo to all who knew hlto. •

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Yesterday Samuel 11 lifel wss indicted for a vin-
tent assault on the perhon of Sarah Warren, on the
4th of April last.—The Prosecutrix, it appeared,
lived servant with the Defendant, but finding the
work of the family too heavy for her, she, on
.the
day mentioned in the indictment, Lad given her mis-
tress notice she should quit her service, and had ni-
ter wards gone to her work in the wash-house. Soon
afterwards her master, the Defendant, came to her,
called her a wretch,,,,and said he would break her
neck out of the house; upon this and other abusive
language being addressed to her, she went up stairs
again to her mistress, and asked for her wages, that
she might quit the house; her master followed her,
and said she had endeaioured.to prove him a liar, and
again threatened to break her neck out of the house.
The Prosecutrix thed said, the Devil should not move
her till she had justified. herself agtinst this charge,
when the Defendant seized her by the right arm and
left breast, and endeavoured to push her d »vn stairs;
he did, in factl. throw her down on the floor, and
by the pressure of her breast, she sustained a r•ry
sever.? injury. An apothecary in the neighbourhood
was sent for, 'who, on his orritql, as appeared from
his evidence, found her lying on the floor in strong
convulsions, in which she continued for near half an
hour after his arrival; and the injury she had sus.
tained appeared so serious, that he thought it right to
call is Mr. Ashley Cooper, who had attended her up
to the present time.
An attempt was made to prove that the Prosecti-
tria, previous to the assault comp'.ained of taking
place, had told an acquaintance that she had been
knocked down in. Holborn by a hackney-coach, and
had received a severe blow in the breast ; the attempt,
however, failed, and the Jury without hesitati...n
found the Defendant Guilly.--Judgmeut deferred.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—On Sunday night last
a great number of mischievous boys assembled in the
fields between Copenhagen House and Pentonville,
and amused themselves with covering with hay
and insulting every well-dressed woman that ap-
peared in the fields. Their numbers having increased,
they proceeded to acts of the most wanton outrage,
and after pursuing some Ladies, and pelting them
with whatever they could find, actually drove them
into a pond in the corner of a field, full of water.—
Some Gentlemen perceiving the perilous situation of
the La:lies, went to their assistance, who were assailed
by hundreds of these young ruffians, and the Gentle-
men, to protect themselves, were obliged to arm with
pieces of the paling, or whatever they could get, to
ensure a safe retreat. Several of the offenders were
severely hurt, as well as those whom they attacked.
About ten o'clock the crowd was immense, but
peace was restored, in consequence of Mr. BLUNT, of
the Belvidere Tavern, having procured a party of
Constables. WC hope the ringleaders are known,
that they may be severely punished, and that the ne-
cessary precautions will be taken next Sunday to pre:
vent a recurrence of such disgraceful proceedings, if
the ruffians should again assemble in the same man-
ner.

On Wednesday last, a highly interesting experi-
ment was made s ith a machine, constructed by
I Messrs. F. - - EXTON, MURRAY, and WOOD, of Leeds,
under the direction of Mr. JOHN BI.ENKINSUP,
!the Patentee, for the purpose of substituting the
agency of steam for the use of horses in the con-1
veyance 9f coals on the iron-rail-way from the
mines of J. C. BLLANDLINC, Esq. at Middleton, t 3
Leeds.--This machine is, in fact, a steam-engine
of four horses power, which, 'twit!' the assistance of j
cranks turning a cog-wheel, and iron cogs placed at ,
f• one side of the rail-way, is capable of moving, when I
lightly loaded, at the speed of ten miles an hour. At four
1 o'clock in the afternoon, the machine ran from the Coal..
staith to the top of Ifunslet-Moor, where six, and after-
; wards eight waggons of coals, each weighing 3i tons,
were hooked to the back part; with this immense weight
Ito which, as it approached the town, was super-
i added about fifty of the spectators mounted up.
on the waggons, it set'otl' on its return to the Coal-
! staith; and performed the journey, a distance of
about a mile and a half, principally on a dead
I level, in twenty-three minutes. • without the slightestl
I accident. The experiment, which was witnessed by
thousands of spectators, was crowned with complete
i success; and when jt is considered that this invention
is applicable to all rail-roads, and that upon the
works of Mr.BRANDLING alone, the use of 50 horses
j will• be dispensed with, and the corn necessary furl
the consumption of, at least, 200 were saved, we
cannot forbecti.fo hail the invention as of vast public ;
utility, and to rank the inventor amongst the bene- '
factors of his. couutry.
A few days since, the Aylesbury coach was robhed
of a parcel, directed to Messrs. Masterman and Co..
hankers, in White-hart-court, Lombard-street, con-
taining-Reading and Aylesbury bank-notes to the
*moons-of 14001.
Friday morning early, the house of Mr. Pearse, in •
Breek's-place, Kennington.cioss, was broke open,
and robbed of property to a considerable amount.
• Monday afternoon a 'wild. bullock broke loose, !
and ran out of a slaughter-house in Whitechapel, acid
made his way, furiously clearing every thing before
him that interrupted his progress : a poor old
woman, who was crossing Somerset-street, WOW
knocked down, and very much hurt; the animetl
pursued his course, foUowed by a great number of
men and boys ; he tossed several dogs that were set ,
on. .At length he was secured in Mansel-street, and
led back to the slaughter-house; without doing artyl
farther mischief. • • i
MARLBOROUGIISTREET.—A woman in the employs'
of Mr. Ralph Raker, in Mary-le-bone, was yester-
day charged with 'robbing her master at sundry•timest
to a very considerable amount. It appeared in evi-
deree., thit the Prisoner bad been' noticed as having I
made large purchaser at various shops. Inforfnation
was given to her Mailer ; and while scrubbing, the
counter with herleft hand during the' time the family
sweet, at dinner, she was observed stealing the money
from the till with her right. • The Prisoner was fully I
committed for trill.

On Tuesday, the 16th .nl!imo,,. a woodcock wag
shot kr Mr. John Dandy, on the premises of his
uncle, .p.t Shipley, in Sussex,, a circumstance that
does not often occur at this season' td"the ner. Mr.
