FREMANTLE QUARTER SESSIONS. Tuesday, Jnly 1st, 1834. BEFORE the Hon. W. H. Mackie, Esq., Chairman, the Rev. J. ii. Wittenoom, G. Leake, and R. Mc Bride Brown, Esquirea, J. s P. Ambrose, stood charged with stealing three rat-tail files fr«m Mr. Solomon's shop at Perth. It was, fully proved by the evidence of Fraser, the shopman, and Charles Bourne, a person who was in the shop at the time, that Ambrose took the files off the counter. The prisoner did not deny having taking the files, but stated in his defence, that he had a running account at Mr. Solomon's, and took them in a joke, considering that when it was found out he had them, they would be charged to him. J. R. Lacy and George Smith were called by the prisoner to prove that he was in liquor that evening ; and Lacy deposed to his frequently repeating such practical jokes, when under the, excitement of liquor. Lawrence Welch, who had been in the habit of seeing Ambrose at Mr. Solomon's shop, and1 was present on the evening in question, stated that he seemed perfectly sober, and competent to transact business. J. Morgan, Esq., who had known and employed the prisoner for eight or nine months, stated that he had, up to the present time, regarded him as an honest man, and that was his general character he knew that a very-little drink would make him muddle headed. ' Verdict-Guilty. Sentence, on« monthi' imprisonment with hard labour. ? w ....?* n », » r ' The Jury strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy, on the ground of character. Studsor, was charged with stealing a bag of scupper nails, and two jackets, the property of the King, found on his premises. The prisoner was some time ago in the employment of J. Morgan, Esq., Government Store Keeper, and accounted for the possession of the property in the following manner :- Half the nails, he said, were given to him by Samid Ali (Mr. Morgan's servant), and the other half he took home with him out of the sweepings of the store. Thejackets were thrown aside at a survey, as rubbish, and he took them ako, on the autho rity of Samid Ali. Marmaduke Hutton corrobo rated the prisoner's statement regarding the jackets, but believed that in the heap of condemn ed jackets there were none so perfect as thobe produced in court ; and Samid Ali deposed that the prisoner mended his shoes twice, and that he gave him the first time a handful of the nails, and the next a small paper full Verdict-Not guilty. George Smith, charged at the instance of J. R. Lacy, Mr. Leroux's foreman, with stealing a keg of paint, was acquitted. Cabioz alias William, charged with stealing a clothes' line, the property of Mr. Wood, baker at Peirh, was acquitted. Habib, was found guilty of stealing a pair of compasses, the property of Terry, the boat builderT and sentenced to three dozen lashes and three months' imprisonment with hard labour. Reedy pleaded guilty to the larceny of whaling gear, and was sentenced to six month» imprisonment with hard labour.
 * but from his (Mr. Morgan's) own observation,

THE horse ferry boat at Guildford is admirably constructed for the purpose, and although the first cost of building is considerable, the advantage of the ñrst outlay will be experienced. This is on© of the best specimens of workmanship in the Colony, and real taste and judgment have been displayed in the design. Edwards, of Perth, obtained the contract, and has done justice to it. The risk and difficulty of crossing at this ferry is now entirely removed ; you may ride into and out of tiie boat with perfect safety. For further convenience, we would suggest that the bank on the Guildford side should be lowered. Dodd, of the Clei kum Inn, has leased the right of ferry for the next twelve months at the rate of £5. per annum. THE new Commissariat Stores at Perth are rising rapidly ; the cellars are completed.

CURIOUS MODE OF NAVIGATION.-My passage from Falmouth to Barbadoeer, in the packet, was agreeably enough ; but at this island, in order to complete my voya e to La Guayra, I was transferred to one of his Majesty's mail boats, a dirty little schooner, with a cabin six feet by six, scarcely a pint of fresh water, and most untouchable provisions. These, however, were trifles. When we got out to sea,' I found that the captain of this gallant bark (which is entiusted with the conveyance of the mail from Barbadoes to! La Guayra, a voyage of about six days), never in cumbered himself with either compass or quadrant. They'have sa much experience, ofn the" current* which prevail in these fteav that they aró never at
