alfo coins and a fimilar infcription; a purfe of gold being laid on them. The company then proceeded in waggons covered with green haize along the iron railways round the dock premises, and laid alfo the foundatina-ftone of a warehoufe for general purposes. The company next went up Virginia-treet to Ratcliff-highway. Here their carriages were waiting to take them, to dine at the London Tavern. Wednesday, July 14. As the following incident has excited more of the public attention than is ufually given to fuch matters, and as the indifcretion, which it is our duty to record, bas been perfecuted with unparalleled malignity and rancour, we give it in detail. On the night, we will not fay of general but universal illumination, Mr. Cobbett, commonly known by the name of Peter Porcupine, who within the last two years had found it expedient to remove from America to England, refufed to put up any lights. As this determination of his to oppofe the univerfal joy on the peace was well known, and indeed published by himfelf, a mob was affembled before his houfe a little before 9 o'clock, who began to break his windows. About to o'clock, three young gentlemen, Mr. C. B. Mr. W. and Mr. H. accidentally paffed through Pall-mail, and, elevated partly by the occafion, and partly from having dined toge ther, very foolishly and thoughtle fily threw, not fiones, but bricks at the houfe. Every one who thinks will fee the diftinction. The ftones of the pavement could not be removed without a pick-axe; but unfortunately fome repairs were going on at the adjoining house, and a pile of bricks was at hand. The young gentlemen were feized by the police officers, without any refiftance on their part, and taken to Bow Street. They were committed to Totbil-fields Bridewell for the night, brought up again next morning, and not admitted to bail, but ordered again to be brought up on the Tu-fday for re-examination. Thus they fuffered fix days imprifonment among the loweit mifcreants. Two things here may juftly excite furprize. Firft, as it was obviously a BAILABLE OFFENCE, that they were not directed in the first instance by the magistrates to procure bail. Secondly, that the punishment of fix days imprisonment, and the confequent expences, was not confidered as an adequate atonement by the profecutor, to whom every apology, and every extent of compenfa tion, was immediately and repeatedly of fered. This atonement only seemed to excite a fiercer defire of vengeance; and this offer was indignantly refuted. The forms of the Quarter Seffions, to which the matter was referred, would not allow the trial to come on till after an interval of three months. These three months were em ployed by the profecutor in exasperating the public mind. The young men, who were in every other refpect of the pureft and most unsullied character, were stigmatized with the terms of base villains; they were reproached again and again with their commitment to a common ga›l; the feelings of their relatives and friends were tortured with the threat that the indictment should be capital. Great pains were taken to induce their fuperiors to difmifs them from their employments, and every effort was made to itamp them with infamy, and to ruin their hopes. Fortunately, we are not a nation of Savages. When the trial this day came on, the matter was feen in its real point of view. It was a thoughtless boyish action; no malice, no moral turpitude, no depravity appeared. The jury, from their hesitation, appeared inclined to bring them in Not Guilty; however, as the fact itself was neither difproved nor difowned, they were content to recommend the young men in very strong terms to the clemency of the Court. The profecutor was urged to join in the recommendation. His reply is memorable, and is, perhaps, the first example of the kind in the annals of British courts of judicature—-CERTAINLY NOT: I CAME HERE FOR JUSTICE, AND NOT FOR MERCY.-The fact difdains all comment. The two firit of the defendants, all of whom were accompanied by a number of the most respetable individuals, zealous to testify their irreproachable cha❤ rafters, were fined 301.; and the latter, Mr. H. 101. Thursday, July 22. This evening a very melancholy event took place, at the Entern entrance into the Welt India Docks, at Blackwall. In order to bay out the water at the entrance of the bafon, next the Thames, a coffie• dam had been conftructed, which had hitherto bid defiance to every returning tide. It appeared, by the evidence of Mr. Kent, the Mafter Bailiff, that about 10 minutes before 7, the tide being at its height, he was looking towards the South coffe dam, when he observed the head of one of the piles decline towards the river. He mftantly called out to the people who were at work below, at a depth of about 30 feet, exclming, "For Got's fake, come up; the cottre-dam is blown." The people ran in all directions; the water rushed in with a dreadtul noife, and, dafhing against the gates, returned by the Eastern wail, and fwept away all who had not had time to get up. The bason in an intant filled to the depth of 22 feet. Some, by the violence of the torrent, were forced against the piles, and jammed between them. At first, it was fuppofed the whole of the docks would have been prematurely filled; but this idea was happily diffipated, by the effectual refidance of an inner dem, w.ch which stopped the progrefs of fo deftructive an inundation. There were about 20 men at work, cutting away the earth on the infide; but by the alarm being given, all were enabled to climb on the wharf in the centre, and fave themfelves, except eight perfons, who unfortunately loft their lives. Among the fufferers, we learn, is a Mr. Buff, the brother of the Superintendant of the works. It is a circumstance of infinite regret, that the melancholy effects of this accident might eafily have been avoided, had the warning voice of prudence been attended to. It appeared, by the proceed ings before the Coroner, that Mr. Kent forefaw what would happen, and that a Committee was called; who, instead of acting upon his report, paid a fatal deference to the opinions of the Surveyors, who pledged themfelves for the fecurity of the dam. The Coroner's jury brought in a verdict of Accidental Death. How this extraordinary majority has been obtained by the Hon Baronet may probably be the fubject of future investigation. Saturday, July 31. We understand from a gentleman lately come from the North, that the pretenfions of the celebrated Mis Robertfon to the ef tate of Fafcally have excited no little furprife in the Highlands of Scotaind, at what London folks will believe. That estate originally belonged to the very ancient family of Strowan, and was erected by charter from the Crown into a feparate Barony, for a younger branch of the family, with the condition, that upon failure of heirs male it fhould return to the elder branch. At the demife however of the last of the heirs male of this younger branch, the family of Strowan were under a fentence of forfeiture, on account of their adherence to the House of Stuart. The heirs of intail could not therefore put in their claim, and the eftate being much encumbered, it was fold for the benefit of the creditors, Had the forefather of Mifs Robertfon been of the Fafcally family, they would of course then have advanced their claims. But after this dexterous lady could impofe on tradefmen, by references to people living in the fame city, it is no wonder that the should get fome perfons to fwallow her claims beyond the Grampians, A complete Lift of the Members returned to serve in the next Parliament CIRCUIT, 1802.
