By a Gentleman who has jnst arrivest we have the
following account of the situation of the Island of

" The are only 3000 British troops en the Island,
which are not competent to keepthe peoplein order,
much less to resist the enemy. The lower dosses are
all of them in fa conr of the Enifiels, bet the QUEEN'S

John loom stood indicted, that on the 16th of
July last, he not having the fear of God. before his
eyes, did wilfully-, maliciously, and felonioesly kill
and murder, with a pitchfork, John Hanlon, by
striking hies on the head.
supportlthe indictment, Surgeon Ghallee Todd
was called ; he proved that the deceased was brought
to the Hospital, that the right side of the head was
fractured, and that he had performed•the operation
of trepanning. ' 1
Cross-examined by Mr.
Pray, Sir, was it not a part of the head which, if a
former fracture bad been inflicted on it, a light blow ,
might have produced the contusion ?--1 rather think
not.. .
-
Did you never hear that the deceased had received 1
several wounds in the head, and that this was one of
the old ones?-.4 never herd any thing of the kind, .
and I am cestain that the blow given iullictod a frail!
fracture. •
The Rs:tont:ma asked the witness did he see Mine
ion dead?—[ did not.
Henry Clifford sworn..--Was e student in the
hospital, sew Hanlon dead; died itt consequence of
the woend.
• Gross-examined by Nee DefffiL. •
Pray, Sir, was there any eatenisiLbsjury t--There
was net.
Then it was not as the wetted is described in the
indictment, two inches long, one inch broad, and
two inches deep ?—lt was not,. it was a mere contu-
sion.
Mr.M‘Natt.t then urged, that as the•external
injury appeared, the blow most have been given, not
by the prongs but the handle, which took the ma-
lice completely out of the case; but he had that evi-
dence that would completely clear his Client of any
connection with it.
Several witnesses were then called, who did not
appear: he was acquitted, and Mr. M'Nally then
moved for the discharge of the Prisoner; stating that
the person who gave the blow had only done it in a
hue a-id cry after a thief.
.11‘,u Mite!:, • was indicted for stealing a gold
watch, gold chain and seal, the property of Mr.
Villeins Nash.
Win. Nash, a respectable Gentleman in the Roll's
Office, was sworn, and stated, that on the evening
laid in the indictment, he was returning from the
country, it might be about the hours of II or t 2,
that alighting oil his horse, the Prisoner at the bar,
and alio' her female accosted him, it was.at his father's
hall-door, they jostly d him, and he hurried np the
steps, and rapped at the door, that they, on his core.'
Ing to his horse, jostled him again, he spoke to them
not to do so rather sharply ; the servant opened the
door and soon after he missd his watch,s.few nights
after he met the Prisoner at the bar, be knew her by
her size and voice.
Nil.. Bernet, cross-examined Mi. Nuheo-Some
pleasantries took place, whether Mr. N. might not
have been crossed as well as jostled; the witness al-
lowed that he was near-sighted, the night was dark,
and that he recognized the Prisoner more by her
voice, and elegance of figure, than by her connte.
nonce.
The Prisoner addressed a Gentleman at the bar
(Mr. M'Nally), with a piteous appeal, that in the
days of her childhood and innocence he had known
her to he in a far different situation—es soon as she
mentioned her real name, that Gentleman interested
himself conspicuously in her case, and stated, that
she hail horn the daughter °tamest respectable charac-
ter, and that he had often, in her infantine years, nursed
her on his lap, and his argument might be expressed
with a little variation in the language of the

• Mr. WY.tr.t.o having asked the Prosecutor if
he could swear to the face as well as the voice of the
Prisoner, he stated he could not. The Jury then
found a verdict of Not Guilty, and the Prisoner was
discharge!, after making a solemn protestation that
she was not the person that stole the watch.

A Gentleman of the name of Younger, undertook'',
on Monday, fora wager of 60 guineas, to go sixty
miles on the Bath road in twelve hours. The pod's-

man (a seaman) named Charles Cassin, a native of
Galloway, who had been reduced teindigent cir.

days before his death, to have in his possession a vial

Yesterdayeldetly decent-looking man, who
keeps a respictable shop in the neighbourhood of the
Strand, was brought up by a young woman on a
charge of assault, with an attempt to ravish her.
The Prosecutrix told her story with a consider-
able share of ease and indifference, and related a
great deal of that kind of evidence usual on such
occasions, but quite unfit to meet the public eye or ear..
ate was interrogated by Mr. Banat, who appeared'
on behalf of the Defendant, and she was also elm!

Ben Child, alias Little Ben, one of Bill Somme,'
light-lingered corps, was yeterday taken before the
LORD MATOR, on a charge of robbing an eccentric
looking old Gentleman, named Captain Bailey, on
the preceding evening, of his watch. The Com-
plainant stated,that as he was passing slowly through
Aldermanbury, atiout seven o'clock, three men ran
furiously against him ; one of whom, in the colli-
sion, snatched his watch from his fob, and ran oil'.
He instantly gave an alarm, and joined in pursuit of
the offenders, with as much speed as his infirmities
would permit. They, however, turned the corner,
and were hidden from his view. lle afterwards
learnt that one of them, the man in custody, was
taken. To this man's person, however, he could
net positively swear, although he thought he much
resembled one of the men who had run against him.
The Officer having stated that there were other per-
sons Who witnessed the transaction, who could
'speak with more certainty to the person of the Pri-
toner, but who were not present, the Prisoner was
"remanded.

DREADFUL Ftax.—Yesterday morning, 'about bib'
o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out at Mt. Hol-
land's, tallow-chandler, South Audleydstreet, and
which for some hours threatened destruction to the
whole neighbourhood, as the wind was rather high,
which putied up the flames most dreadfully, joined
to which, the immettse quantity of tallow, which
was in the melting-house, where the fire first began,
gave the whole a most awful appearance. In a.short
space of time the house of Mr. Holland was toot,
pletely gutted, and soon after, six adjoining houses
were on fire at one time; thit had a most ataemiug
appearance, as they continued to burn with thegreat-
est fury, owing to there being a very short supply of
water, which, however, at about half-past three,
was procured in abundance, and nine engines were
seen at one time playing in South Audley-street;
they at length succeeded in arresting the progress of
the tiehuring element in that quarter, and, some of
them then played on the small houses in the Mews,
at the hack of South Audley-street, which were all
in a blaze, and burnt with such fury fdr a-cOnsider-
ahle time, as almost seemed to bid defiance to the
power of the watery element, hat at length sue-
'acceded, and about seven o'clock all danger was over.
The result is, that thirteen hpuses are destroyed,
