Monthly Chronicle.

Oct . 2 . By the activity of the Bow-street officers the above Mr . Lara was taken into custody at the Golden Cross , Charing-Cross . He had taken a post-chaise to Portsmouth , and returned from thence to London , whither he was . pursued by the police officers , who traced-his steps , but lost him in the last stage . Meeting with his brother in Cornhill , they took him into custody , and found on him a letter acquainting him that his . brother was to be found at the Golden Cross , Charing-Gross , by the name , of Jennings . They went thither , and found him in bedand : Secured all the propertyexcept about 40 I . To disfigure himself he had

, , cut off his hair , and had on , a travelling cap . The offence being coinmitted-in the city , " he was ordered by Mr . Addington to be taken before the Lord Mayor , by whom he was remanded into custody for further examination . ' 3 . He -was again brought before the Lord Mayor ; after which he was committed to the Poultry Compter . -. " . ' . - HarwichOct 7 Inured the inhabitants of t-town are to the

dis-, . . as- a s . eapOr , tresses incident to tempestuous - weather , yet the calamitous effects of a dreadful storm of twenty hours duration , have been so great as to amaze even those most familiar with such unhappy scenes . The tempest commenced about eight o'clock on Sunday evening , and by eleven o ' clock next morning there were 35 vessels wrecked within twenty miles of Harwich harbour . At one o ' clock on Monday , the crew of the Restoration , Captain Walker , a fine new ship in the Norway trade , and the people from a North Shields-collier , in three boats , with

the utmost peril and difficulty made the harbour . They had been in their boats from eleven o ' clock the night before , and when they at length . happily reached the shore , were reduced by fatigue and the inclemency of the weather to the greatest weakness . Captain Walker reports , that in the morning of Monday he saw upwards of 70 sail of vessels making signals of distress . The wrecks of several vessels are plainly to be seen from the town , and several lives must inevitably have been lost . A boat with four men and two women , in attempting to cross to Languard Fort on Monday , was driven out to sea , where the unhappy

people must doubtless have all perished . Brighton , Oct . 7 . The tempest on Sunday evening was the most tremendous that has been known here for some years . Thesea came neaily upon the Steyne , whilst the wind was so violent as to take away several parts of the adjoining houses . The most distressing event that occurred took place about three in the morning ; a ship was driven near half a league from the town , they fired signals of distress , and hoisted out the lights . The fishermen crouded to the sea-side , and finding every relief impracticable , they soon afterwards became melancholy witnesses of the ship's sinking ; and , what renders the tale more lamentable , ¦ we have not since heard of a single life being saved ,

• . HIGH TREASON . 9 . At half past nine in the morning the judges appointed by a special commission to try the persons under charges of treason ( viz . Lord Cliief Justice Eyre , the Lord Chief Baron , Mr . Baron Hotham , Mr . Justice Buller , Mr . Justice Grose , and Mr . Justice Lawrence ) met at Serjeant' -s-rlnn , Chancery-lane , from v . hence they proceeded to the new Sessions-house on Clerkenwell-green , attended by the two sheriffs , with their under-sheriffs , the city marshals , & c . where they opened the commission , when the Grand Jury were sworn in , to

whom the Chief Justice gave an excellent charge . In the delivery of this charge the Lord Chief Justice , at some length , pointed out to them the nature and extent of " the duty they owed to their country , and the trust reposed in them . In the discharge of this task his lordship had occasion to enter into a very minute and extensive review of the several statutes in existence upon the law of high treason , together with the opinions of the several judges , and other law authorities , during the several periods of English jurisprudence , applying the whole to the existing circumstances of the times . Although in all writs they were specially denominated the King's jurors , yet he deemed it hardh" necessary to observe to thern , that the duty imposed on them Pn 2
