About half- past twelve o'clock, J G H E A T H E D HARRIS1, Esq. one of his Majesty's Commissioners for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, entered the Court Room, in the Castle, and immediately proceeded to the examination of Insolvents. AVeuoticed Mr. Venables, Mr. Carr, and Mr. Hartley, attending as Counsel ; and Mr. Lancaster, Solicitor to the Insolvents. Edward Thompson. late of Macclesfield, Cheshire, gar- i dener, formerly of N e w Chapel, Staffordshire, anil afterwards of Congleton, was the first Insolvent brought forward. He had been arrested for a debt of £ 15 As there was nothing peculiar ill this case, he was. discharge*. The learned Commissioner here animadverted in strong terms against the appraisers meeting insolvents in tiio prison, and merely from their verbal account, appraising their property, without ever seeing it. This practice subjected the appraiser to be committed, and prevent insolvent from having his discharge. H.' gave orders to Mr. Dtnstan, the Governor of the Castle, to prevent any such proceedings in future. Wi/ liom Edwards', late of Parkgate, Cheshire, farmer, and lodging- house keeper, arrested fur the costs of an ejectment— Discharged. Robert Dale, late oi' Newhall, Cheshire, farmer, arrested for a , debt due to his father, for £ 240 and lo whom he bad given a judgment bond— Discharged. Edmund Lockitt, late of Sandbach, Cheshire,. adjourned by his own request, until next Court Day, not being prepared with his affidavits. James Croolcshank, late of Siilfbrd, Lancashire, painter. This Insolvent was opposed by Sir. Carr, on behalf of Messrs. Thomas and Piercy, of Hull. It appeared tbe insolvent had been a journeyman painter, to the widow of Mr. Allen, a painter and glazier, at the above place ; that he had afterwards married the widow ; and succeeded to the established business ; that he had contracted debts with the opposing creditors, and others, to a considerable amount; to none of whom he had ever paid a s h i l l i n g— He had also given his father a judgment bond for lent money to the amount of £ 6 0 ; upon which the father bad sold the property. This insolvent underwent a very long examination boih by the Court and Mr. Carr, respecting his property being made away, his arrest in Chester, when all his debts were contracted in Lancashire, & c— Mr. Venahies ably replied oil his behalf, and contended no fraudulent intention had been made out. The Court addressed the insolvent in a long and humane speech, pointing out in strong terms the fraudulent intention he had practised throughout the whole of his business, which he had only continued about a year, and a half. The Commissioner having recapitulated all the circumstances, sentenced the insolvent to twelve months, in Chester Castle, for defrauding his creditors, and not Lo derive any benefit from the Act, but his debts still to remain against him, as if nothing had been done, so that each of his creditois may still act against him. Richard Kettle Podmore, late of Nantwich, spirit dealer, was remanded. until next Court- day, for npt having filed his affidavit, and not paying his solicitor's bill of costs. William Doyle, late of Rochdale, Lancashire, watch maker.— Discharged. John Smith, late of Great Neston, Cheshire, gentleman was opposed by Air. Peter Hope, of Liverpool, in person* and the detaining creditor, for having accepted a bill £ 3 f, drawn by one Griffith, of Liverpool, now a bankrupt. The defence setup was that it was done as a friendly act; and, as there appeared no fraudulent intention oil the part of the insolvent, he was discharged, on allowing £ 10 per year out of his half- pay towards the liquidation of his debts. John Profit, late of Lymm, Cheshire, weaver, an old man, and very deaf, was opposed by Mr. Carr, on the behalf of John Ellison Remanded until next Court Day, not having filed his affidavit, nor paid his Solicitor's bill of costs. John Sharman, late of Mortev- green, Cheshire, shoe maker. Mr. Roberts appeared for the detaining creditor, who was so poor that he could not. attend the Court. This was a hard case, as the insolvent had put his creditors to great expence, the original debt being only £ 1 for rent, and a second debt for £ 2— Discharged. S A T U R D A Y ' S G A Z E T T E. T U R N OF L I F E. To William Smith, Esq. Upton Magna Hall. DE A R Sir, having by a most fortunate circumstance heard of the fame of your Ploughman's Drops from Mr. J. Large, Printer, Wolverhampton, and who very earnestly recommended me to make trial of your Drops, but 1 being somewhat prejudiced against medicines of the kind, for a while hesitated, but at length f did purchase a bottle of Mr. Smart, and I have now to bless Almighty God, and you my dear Sir ; for by only taking two small bottles, I was perfectly restored to a good and sound state of health, which 1 had not enjoyed for more than 6 years. In gratitude to yoi » , Sir, and for the benefit of other matrons labouring under the same disorder, I will briefly relate the leading features of my most stubborn disorder. Sometime about May, 1819, I was taken with a dreadful racking pain in my head, and what with a swelling in my body and legs, which was to that alarming degree lhat I was under fearful apprehensions that the skin of my legs would break; and was attended with very great pain, which at times nearly deprived me of my senses. During this state I was so very nervous that I was a great trouble to all about me, frequently jumping and starting at the least appearance of noise. About Sept. 1824, I began taking your invaluable Ploughman's Drops, although I had taken as much Apothecaries' Medicine as would kill a horse, yet all was to no purpose, before 1 had finished taking the first bottle he swelling in my legs began to abate; whilst taking the second bottle, the pain in my head left me ; and by the time I had finished it I found myself quite a new creature. Thus, dear Sir, you may easily conceive to what an alarming state I was reduced, but am now as well as ever I was in my life. This I am ready and willing lo confirm whenever it may be required.

MACCLESFIELD COURIER, STOCKPORT EXPRESS, AND CHESHIRE GENERAL ADVERTISE^. STAFFORD ASSIZES, July 2J. COINING. Theodore Moore was indicted for having in his possession various machinery and implements used in coining. Thomas Forrester, constable of Shelton, stated on the 29th of May last, he was in company with John Wright and George Bently at the Antilope, in Shelton ; hie attention was directed to a cart which stood in a field at the - back of the Hare and Hounds: two men were with i t ,— Theodore Moore and John l. awlev; the cart was loaded - and covered with matting. He asked Moore what was in the cart, who replied, D— n you, lihat is that to you. He then saiddie was a constable, aud was determined to see; there were three casks in the cart, and in attempting * lo remove one, it fell to the ground. Lawley assisted to carry it into the bouse, and by order of the witness he opened i t ; three packages containing silvered blanks the size of half crowns were takon out. Witness went out to look for Moore, but could not find him; he then put the - cart and its contents into the care of Wright and Bentley, took Lawley into custody, and proceeded to inform Mr. Locker the high Nonstable. Cross- examined.— Suspected the kegs contained smuggled spirits. The pieces of metal may be for medals; he could not say; he thought they were blank half crowns. Mr. George Bently corroborated the statement of the ^ preceding witness. Joseph Locker, Esq. High Constable of Hanley, was fetched by Forrester, on the 26th of M a y ; found the cart as described by Forrester, and two persons watching i t; ordered a horse to be put to, and had it brought to his house; on unloading, found three casks weighing 1 \ cwt. each, and implements; next morning he broke open the small box, found 5 round pieces of iron, some pieces of white metal of the size of halferowns and shillings, packed in papers; opened one of the casks, and found similar pieces of metal; all the casks contained 8400 pieces ofthe exact size of a shilling, and 63G0 ofthe size of half crowns. In a large box was found a bar, 3 yards long, several screws and chocks, and two screw wrenches. On the 28th, the witness received from Ralph Barton, the body of a press and the fly balls; he bad the whole put together, and all the parts fitted. The body of the press was of cast iron, and weighed 7cwt. 2qrs. 91b. The collars fitted the blanks found in the casks. T . Gill, Leeds, was marked on the cart. Cross examined— Found no dies to stamp with ; had heard of Catholic Medals, ( some were produced which exactly fitted the collars) Joseph Cook proved the prisoner having taken the house al Burley Dam, in which the press, & c., where found; he assisted in getting a very heavy cask into the house, prisoner said it contained files, iron, and different things. Prisoner brought a lock which lie was anxious to put on the door, but there was no staple. Remembers II. Barton coining and searching the house; the following day the prisoner came home; he said, " What the devil has been to do here ?" Witness said, " Do not you know of it? 1 ' He replied " N o , who has broken open the cask." Witness told him the constable had been there and had taken his wife into custody. Prisoner said, he would play the devil with him for it. The prisoner was about to walk away, but witness detained him, till Griffiths, a constable, took him into custody. Mr. liichard Floyd, is a Brass- founder, at Birmingham, knows the tools used for milling, & c . ; never saw such tools used in common trade as those now produced. Cross- examined Many medals are struck in Birmingham ; never saw catholic medals like those produced. Mr. E. Thomason, a Goldsmith and Medalist, explained the way in which coin was milled on the edge, and shewed that the collors produced, would mark the pieces in imitation of money. On cross- examination, he admitted that an artist might at his pleasure mill a medal like money, but he never saw any with such an edge. Richard Franklin, Esq. of the Mint— Believes such a collar as that produced is only used for coining money. John Lawley, the accomplice, who has been admitted Kings's Evidence. The prisoner married his sister about three years ago, entered into his employ last November; engaged to go to Hull.' Went there, and Moore followed Witness took with him a large block of wood, a large fly bar, a large screw, a wrench, and one box. Has seen such collars as are now produced. Prisoner took a house near Hull. Remained there about three months. Witness then took a bouse at Hanley, in December l a s t— Moore came to that house in April. Prisoner took a house al Brunton in- Swayle, in February. Took with him a large cart, containing the body of a press, a fly, block of wood, two casks containing blanks for making shillings arid half- crowns. He assisted him in coining: he used the grain collar now produced. Believes it was in the month of February last. Witness turned the fly. The balls were on the fly. Moore supplied the blanks. An alteration was made in the cellar; a wall taken down, and rebuilt to enlarge it, and make room for the fly. He took the tools to Brampton, and made a hole in the cellar to put the block. Fetched other parts of the press from Burrow- bridge, and set it up in a working state at Brompton. Coined about 400 dozen halt- crowns, with collar now produced. Went from thence to Burslem, put up at Red Lion. Had 400 dozen of half- crowns in casks. Saw next day five men and one woman, who purchased the coin at 3s. fld. per dozen. Paid part in money, part in silk handkerchiefs, linens, gold watch, seals, & c. Witwent home. On the Saturday following prisoner went to Birmingham with Moore. Saw three casks in a cart in Aston- street. Witness took them to Brompton Moore arrived first. He took one cask out, and bid witness take the cart to a public- house, eight miles backagain on the road. It was so late he could not take it then, hut took it five miles off. Returned to Brompton and coined about 100 dozen half crowns. Brought them to the Hare and Hounds, Hanley, in one cask. After this the house was taken at Oulton, in name of T . G i l l. Moore took it. Had a third coining at Brompton, 150 dozen. The large cask was brought to Leeds from Brampton, and put into Mr. Pickford's wharf, addressed, " J o hn Hill, Stoke upon- Trent," to be left till called for. Press, &. c. were taken to Oulton. Did not, assist in coining at Oulton. Prisoner took a house at Burley Dam, in Salop. Went with him when he took the large cask. The body of press was taken there and two balls. Was at the Hare and Hounds, in Shelton, on the 26th May. Had been there before several times. A t the time they were taken, had with them the articles mentioned by Mr. Locker, Barton, & c. All the machinery was the same used at differnt places. Witness gave information to the Constable of the house at Oulton and Burley Dam. Cross- examined— Has been a coiner about six months, and knew there was harm in i t ; but prisoner said witness was only a servant, and therefore was not in danger. Expects by convicting Moore to- day, to save himself from prosecution, and to promote justice. Never thought of justice till he got into gaol. Prisoner has four children. Witness was confined in Warwick gaol on suspicion of stealing a copper furnace two years ago. Was also in Worcester gaol about 1( 1 months ago, for being out late at night. He was confined there three months. Would not answer whether he had two wives. Is a gunsmith ; worked eleven years at his trade. Had nothing to do with selling the base coin. He was dieted with prisoner, and had 10 shillings per week. Was never concerned with other coiners. Prisoner had dies to represent shiU Jings and half- crowns. Esther Gibbs— Her father keeps the Red I, ion public house, in Burslem. Remembers prisoner corning to Burslem about beginning of April. Heard Moore ask for a stable to put his horse in. He took the horse and cart to the stable gate. Afterwards Moore asked for a bed for himself and Lawley. Moore was accommodated. Lawley went away, and came back in the morning; two other persons came next morning; they breakfasted together; after • breakfaat a man and woman came in and were in the room with prisoner. She saw in the room scarlet cloaks, cloth, silk handkerchiefs, Irish linen, and watch seals. Moore ordered Lawley to fetch two casks out of the slahle into the room. The room was quite clean when they took possession, but when they left there was a quantity of straw and brown paper. Saw the casks opened. The straw and paper could come in no other way than in the casks. Saw Lawley on the Friday following, who fetched the horse and carl away, and took the empty casks. Saw no money stirring. The prisoner was now called upon for his defence; he put in a written paper, in which he denied having used the press for any other purpose than stamping medals; the pawnbrokers duplicates shewed his poverty; he hoped the j u r y would not attend to all that had been said against him, but pronounce his acquittal. Ann Lawley is sister to the accomplice, and had lived with them at Hull, and also at Brompton. No press could have been used in the cellar without her seeing it, as she fetched ttater from a tub in it. Remembers the cellar being enlarged, but did not stay at Brumpton more than four months. Has lived at Birmingham since. Mr. Thomas Downing of Birmingham, press and tool maker, would not have thought there was any thing uncommon in the edges of the medals; a collar is not a common part of a press. . Mr. T. I. ithgow, silversmith, lias seen medals with grained edges similar to those produced. It is not common. Xijver saw such but once. The learned Judge now addressed the J u r y ; he ob. set veil that, it was difficult to bring home the fact of coining, therefore a law is provided which enacts that if any person shall have tools, icc. in their possession, which are not in common use in any trade, but are used iu coining, they shall be considered guilty of high treason. The question is 1st., whether the collars produced are instruments of Ihe kind mentioned in the aet. 2d. Whether the prisoner knew he had such an instrument in his possession. As to the question respecting the instrument he meant to reserve it for the opinion of the 12 Judges. That the tool produced is suitable for coining there is nil doubt; it is made of hard steel, and if a softer metal is forced through it, it will produce the same mark as on lawful money. No attempt has been made to shew thai the instrument had bevn in common use in any trade; medals have been produced, but 110 evidence has been adduced to show were they were manufactured.— Verdict— Guilty, subject to the point reserved. YORK ASSIZES. ( the FORGERY. John Cox, aged 20, for forging a Bill of Exchange, trial postponed from the last Assizes.) Mr. II JIUIY stated the case for the prosecutor, and proceeded to call the following witnesses:— John Thurley is a clothier at Bramley, and was at Leeds market on the 21st of December last. He was standing with his goods in the cloth hall, when the prisoner came by, and he asked him to purchase. He bought some cloth amounting to £- 22 16s. 6d. which he delivered to him at the Saddle Inn, Leeds, the same day— The prisoner paid for it with a £ 20 hill, and £ 2 16s. 6d. ill cash. Witness said he thought the bill was not a good one, and afterwards went to the prisoner to get him to change it, asked if he knew any of the indorsers. He said one of them, ( Thomas Langston), was adrysalter in Manchester, and he had received it of him the preceding Friday. The prisoner having satisfied him, he afterwards paid away the bill. He took it up in February ; the bill being dishonoured. Prisoner indorsed the bill in the presence of witness, and said he lived qt Hudderstield. John Reynolds resides at Manchester, and is by trade a weaver. The indorsement is not his hand writing. He neve was a drysalter. Thomas Langston is agent tothe Guardian Fire Office, for Manchester, and never indorsed the bill now shewn him. He believes there is not another person of that name in Manchester. R. Darbyshire has been ten years a police officer in Manchester, and after diligent enquiry, found no person of that name in that town. Has lived there upwards of forty years. This was the evidence for the prosecution, and the prisoner being called upon for his defence, said, that be was in the habit of purchasing cloth both at I^ eeds and Huddersfield, and that having been introduced to a person of the name of James Ilochkinson, an agent in Manchester, he had disposed of his goods lo him, and who paid him for them with the bills now produced, telling prisoner that all the parties were most respectable. He being satisfied with this, went to Leeds market, and paid Thurlay one of the bills, telling him it was a good one. He had afterwards occasion to go again to Leeds market, and saw Thurlay, but did not know any thing about the bill, but said he would give him cash for it. He paid the agent 5 per cent, for selling his goods, who said the person who bought the cloth had paid him the bill. Thomas Mann Lee, attorney for Cox, subpeened James Hochkinson, and gave him 30s. to pay his expences to York.— In consequence of his not being here last Assizes, the trial was postponed. Witness has been sever d times at Manchester, but was told that Hochkinson had left that town. Having heard of his re- appearalice there, he went bv the Manchester Coach, on Wednesday hist, and met him on the road, walking with another person. When the coach hail got past, he jumped off, ran after him, and got him by the collar. After he had got assistance, he went with him to Leeds, but when lie got to the Chief Constable's Office, he would not go in, but went to a public house, and he was to meet him the next morning, but he had then disappeared, and not since been heard of. I l i s LORDSHIP summed up the evidence, and the Jury left the box for a short time, when they returned a Verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then charged on another count, wilh having uttered a similar bill, purporting lo be drawn at Manchester, on the 11th of December. James l. uptnn is a clothier at Armlev, and war, in the Leeds Cloth Hall on the 21 at of December kst. He aoid the prisoner some goods, for which he was to be paid in cash, but being delivered to him he said he h id paid all his cash aivav, but would give him a bill. He received ( after an allowance had been made to him) a Bill of F. x. change for £ 20. and paid it into Ihe Leeds Union Bank. On asking prisoner who were the persons by whom the bill was indorsed, he said that George Hargreaves was a cotton- spinner, Samuel Hall, a cotton- manufacturer, both of Manchester, and that George Bibbv was a respectable man in Huddersfield. On the bill being returned, he wrote to Cox, at Hudderstield, but he never received any answer. George Darbyshire, of Manchester, and William Reed, of Leeds, Police Officers, had applied at various times in the respective towns, but could never discover any ofthe parties. William Wigley is collector of the rates at Huddersfield, and is certain that no person of the name of Bibby resides in that town. The J ury returned a verdict of Guilty. be a good thing to disarm the anger of your brother, who, you know, was averse to the - match ; say was it not your brother that made you prosecute the poor warm- hearted boy ?— Sure, then, Sir, it was not; and both my brother and I think the lad has been punished enough for what he d i d — ( A laugh.) Mr. FREEMAN— Then you think he has been punished enough ?— Indeed I do, Sir, Mr. FREEMAN— And Kitty, you think lhat an offer of marriage from the boy you love is a good tiling ?— Why, then, how should I be able to answer that question, for sure I never had that happiness ( A laugh.) Mr. FREEMAN— But you think it wonld be a happiness P — Indeed— and upon my word 1 do ( Smiling.) Mr. FREEMAN— Now, Kitty, tell me— did yon never hear of a ring— a beautiful ring, with hair in it ?— I can't say that 1 ever did. ' Mr. FREEMAN— But shouldn't you set a great'value upon such a ring if it was nicely made, arid had an M 1) wove in it ?— Well, then, I should, if such a smart gentleman as yourself was to make i l ; for sure it would be made very nately. ( Loni laughter.) Mr. FHEEMAN— Oil, Kitty, you are very complimentary; but was lie not often at your house, and you at his ; were you nol very loving together, and had lie not ninny opportunities of running away with you ?— Why, sure if lie had had any design upon me, he had oppprl unities; but indeed he did run away with me, and it was very bid of him. I was talking to him the night before, and he said nothing about it. Mr. FREEMAN— Did you not, Kitly, get a knife from him, a pretty little penknife ?' 1 did, but I gave it to him again. Mr. Baron PENNEFATHER— Perhaps the knife cut the love in two ? Mr. FUEEMAN— Do you hear his Lordship's suggestion, K i t t y ; did the knife cut love in two?— Oh, the unfortunate g i f t ? But should you have any objections to a handsome boy ?— Why, if such a man as you came in my way, I think I should not hesitate much. ( Great Laughter.') Mr. FTIEEMAN Well, Kitty, I must say, that you are a pretty girl. You might say that, Sir, if I was as handsome as you. ( Laughter.) Mr. FREEMAN Well, well, K i t t y , your compliments are quite overpowering, but did you not give the boy a ring?— 1 believe there was a little matter of a ring passed between us. Mr. Baron PENNEFATHER That certainly was holding out something like an inducement to him, which he probably might mistake. 1 will go on with the case if it should be thought necessary, but I think it may stop here. Mr. FREEMAN.— Go down, Kitty, you are a pretty good humoured girl. The Learned Judge then observed that had the offence been made out, and the Jury had found the prisoners guilty he certainly should have left them for execution ; tor he considered abduction a crime of great enormity, and one that ought in all civilized societies to be visited with the most exemplary punishment. The present case was certainly a very light one. Verdict— Not Guilty. FIGHT between the LION NERO, and SIX DOGS, at Warwick, on Tuesday. ATTEMPT TO BURY A MAN ALIVE. On Wednesday evening, Britain's private burial ground in Church- row, Whitechapel, was made the scene of the most dreadful uproar and confusion from the following cause:— It appeared that on Tuesday week, a woman named Lucer, was taken to the London Infirmary, where disease baffled the skill of her attendants, and she died a day or two afterwards. There being marks of violence about her face and head, which were represented to have been inflicted liv her husband, the parochial authorities deemed it necessary to institute an inquiry into the real cause of her death ; and on Saturday evening, a Coroners Jury sat on the body, and after the evidence of the surgeon, who attended her in the Hospital, it clearly showed that her dissolution was not at all attributable to the injuries on the face and head, but entirely owing to a fever which was very prevalent at this season ofthe year. The result of the inquiry did not at all satisfy the neighbours o f t h e deceased, who persisted lhat she bad been massacred bv her husband, against whom they vowed vengeance. On Wednesday evening, at the hour appointed fortha funeral, all the friends ofthe deceased assembled, with vast numbers of their countrymen and women, to the amount of several thousands, from all parts of London; as the funeral priicess'on moved on, the multitude increased; and when it reached the burial place, not less than from eight to ten thousand persons were present. Such was the uproar, that Mr. Nicholl, the . Minister, was interrupted repeatedly by several of the Ivisit calling out that she did not belong to his flock After the corpse was lowered into the grave, the general shout was to serve out the nforileriiig Sasenach ( Protestant); and at this signal the husband, who was the chief mourner, was seized upon and forced to the edge o f t h e grave, whilst others were prepared with shovels to fill the grave up. The poor fellow struggled with all his might and roared out lustily for assistance; and, fortunately, at this moment, a body of officers, belonging lo Lambeth Street Police, rushed forward to save him from the dreadful sentence that awaited him, in which they with the utmost difficulty succeeded, but not until his habiliments were reduced to rags. The affrighted man was placed in a coach, and accompanied by many persons for safety to his home: and yesterday he made application to the . Magistrates for warrants against many of the assailants, none of whom hive as yet been arrested. ENNIS, JULY 21. Zachariah Holland and Michael Gavan were indicted for having, on the 9th of February last, at Rabeen, forcibly carried away the person of Catherine Hickev, for the purpose of procuring her to be feloniously married to the said Zachariah Holland. In consequence of the illness of a material witness for the defence, which witness is since dead, this case was postponed at the last Assizes. Catherine Hickey, on being called, tripped lightly up the step of the table, anil after being sworn, with a good deal of ease and composure, seated herself ( as is the custom in the Irish Courts) in the witness- chair. She appeared to be about 25 or 30 years of age, was wrapped up, in this " piping hot weather," in an immensely large gray woollen cloak ; she had a dirty straw bonnet on her head, and under her cloak might be perceived a muslin gown, which probably had been sometime white, hut which had exchanged the colour of innocence for a dirty saffron— Though not possessing ill- looking features, she altogether presented an appearance not at all calcul ted, one would have imagined, to induce a man to risk his neck bv running away wilh her. She was examined by Mr. Wolfe, and deposed as follows — 1 was at my aunt's, at Raheen, about six months ago but I can't say what monlh it was. Indeed I was not gone to bed when a party of men came and demanded entrance. They said they were police- men, because we refused to let them in. The door was opened bv my cousin, when eight men came in, seven of whom I knew, but am sure I did not know the other one. Holland and the other prisoner were with the party. Indeed I knew Zachariah well, and have done from infancy. You may say that we have been very intimate, because we lived near each other. Holland demanded that I should go out with him. I desired him to wait till morning, that I would consent. I said so because 1 wanleil them to go away. I don't know the words I used, I was so confused at the time. He said I must go immediately, and Ihey took me awav. Holland said, I will marry you to- night, and make you as happy as may be. Upon my odh I went without my consent, undoubtedly; they carried me about a mile, but 1 screeched so that a party came up to my assistance. A man of the name of Sexton heard me cry, and he came to iny help. I went into Sexton's house, and then the Hogans came up, anil I made mv way back as fist as I could. Indeed there was no courtship at all between us, but he had a friendship for me. Vou may say that I went to his house often, and he came as often to mine; and sure I suppose it was the friendship I had, for him that made him run away with me. By Mr. FREEMAN Did you never hear now, Kitty, of gentle violence, and don't you like it, Kitty ? Witness Sure, Sir, then ( smiling), I don't know what you mean. Indeed I can't say that I like gentle violence at all—( still smiling.) . Mr. FREEMAN— But these Hogans, K i t t y ; don'l you think they were troublesome fellows not to let a girl run away with a young man, and get married, Kittv? Oh, you didn't think him loo young, did you, Kittv ? and wouldn't it have been comfortably settled between you and the boy if your father had not interfered ?— Why, then, indeed, my father could not interfere, for sure he is in a better habitation. Mr. FREEMAN— Well, then, your brother, K i t t y ; was it not your brother put you up to prosecuting the boy ?— No. Sir. it was not mv brother neither. Mr. FREEMAN— Why, now, Kitty, tell the truth. Oh, I know you are a good girl— that sweet smile tells me so- Tell the truth, now Kitty, and say that you and the boy luiy your hands together, and thought an abduction would T U E S D A Y ' S G A Z E T T E.

B R A D F O R D COMBERS AND W E A V E R S . — W e r e g r et that we are obliged to report the state of matters to be in the same situation as last week. Without recalling any of the opinions which we then expressed, we may assure our readers, that we deeply lament the continuance of this unhappy dissension : we feel for till who sutler by it — we feel for the shopkeepers and tradespeople of Bradford— we feel for the women and the children who are expose to privation through its operation, and we only trust that the permanent interests of trade may not he affected by it. There is yet anollier thing which we lament ; it is the lone of some of the speech » s which are made at Fnirweather green. To speak of Ihe tyranny anil oppression of tile masters, of their insensibility, of their wish to render their servants slaves, is only to widen the breach, and thus protract the season of reconciliation beyond its natural term. There are many members ofthe Union who cannot but know that such speeches are unwise, as well as ridiculous. On Monday afternoon a meeting of the combers and weavers was held on Fairweather- green. The numbers were about 1500, which, we understand, was fewer than had assembled upon former occasions. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Holmes, Mr. Tester, and several others from Keighley, Baildon, & c. It was not assembled for any specific purpose; but seemed to be convened for the purpose of exhorting the workmen to be firm and orderly, and of informing them o f t h e state of the funds at the disposal of the Committee; thest were stated to be five limes greater than they were six. weeks' ago.. This extraordinary exhibition, . which has been so long announced, and upon which so much doubt has been thrown, took place on Tuesday evening, according to appointment. The place chosen for the combat was the factory yard in which, the first stage was erected for Ihe fight between Ward and Cannon. Two sides of the yard were formed by high buildings, the windows of which looked upon the area, and the vacant- spaces left were filled up by Mr. Wombwell's collection of wild beasts. The dogs, six in number, were thus distinguished by names— 1. Turk, a brown coloured dog.— 2. Captain, a fallow and while dog, with a skewhald face 3. Tiger, a brown dog, with white legs— 4. Nettle, a little brindled bitch, with black head 5. Rose, brindle- pied bitch 6. Nelson, a white dog with brindled spots One of them Tunc, had already been engaged in combat with another dog larger than himself, whom he bad killed, and lie bure a mark of punishment or. the back of his head, which was almost scalped. The following were the conditions under which it was agreed the combat was to be decided:— 1st. Three dogs at once to be slipped at him. 2d. If one or any of them turn tail, he or thev to be considered as beaten, and no one of Ihe other remaining three lo be allowed to attack him until twenty minutes shall have expired, ill order to give the lion rest; for he must be allowed to beat the first three one by one, or as he may choose before the remaining three shall be started. After the expiration ofthe stipulated time, the remaining three dogs to start according to the foregoing rules, and be regulated as the umpires shall adjudge. At seven o'clock, Mr. Womb ( veil having made the necessary disposition of his customers, announced his intention to begin, and immediately proceeded to enter the den, which he was enabled to do with perfect facility through the railings. Mr. Edwards was then desired to bring forth his dogs, nnd he immediately came forward with the three which were to make the first assault. Turk, weighing aboul 3Glbs. Captain, weighed about 501bs. Tiger, weighed nearly 601bs. Turk was a thorough- bred bull, and the other two half- bred, between a bull and a mastiff. FIRST ASSAULT. The words " let go" were now given, and the dogs were brought halfway up the platform, while Nero crouched at full length with his face towards them, and his paws straight before him, but there was nothing of hostility in his look, nor did he seem to apprehend any danger. At last Turkwas let slip, and lie rushed up the platform, through the bars, and directly into the lion's mouth, which wasopened to receive him. Captain and Tiger were instantly with him, and seizing Nero by the nose, forced him to rise, and thus extricated Turk, who did not seem to have received any injury. Nero now turned round to evade his assailants, and for a moment freed his head from their attack ; but Turk rushed to his front, and dashing at his under lip seized it with a firm grasp. Captain and Tiger came up to his assistance and followed his example; but Nero pawed them oil', and struck his talons into their hides, and then making another desperate effort, once more extricated himself— roaring with affright and pain. Turk, however, with the most dauntless courage darted at Nero's nose, and succeeded ill making a pin, while Captain caught his lip. Tiger also made a rush, but he caught rather at the shaggy mane of Nerothan at the nose, and while in this situation he received a severe slap on Ihe head from Nero's paw, which made a deep incision; he instantly retired, and contented himself with loud barking, while Ills more courageous companions continued the attack. Nero broke away, and if he could have escaped, he no doubt would ; for it was clear he was acting onlv on the defensive. He never once attempted to bite his assailants, or he must have instantly rendered them powerless. They continued their attack till at last Turk got into such a position, that Nero actually laid upon him and held him down with his paw, while he paused for wind. The dogs were also winded, and Captain stood at bay for a feiv seconds— while Tiger, who proved to be a complete cur, was pulled oil' the stage. Captain war. now encouraged to renew the attack, and he once more darted at Nero's nose. Nero jumped up, and roared with pain, and Turk was set free, and again rushed to the assault. Nero retreated, bill was pursued, and more especially by Turk, who, although reduced to a shocking state from the opening of the wounds in his head, and the infliction of new scratches, rushed to bis antagonist's nose, and repeatedly held his under- lip in his leeih. Captain was also engaged with great courage, hut at this period of the battle, he received such a scratch on the side of the head, that he made up his mind for a retreat and bolting through the railings, was caught, and having turned tail he was not permitted to return. Turk was now quite alone with Nero, and was still undismayed ; he followed him from corner to corner and renewed" the attack till at length Nero again got him under his paw on the siage, and held him for some time in a quiescent state. Mr. Wombwell, who seemed greatly agitated, now mounted the side of the den to encourage Nero, who regarded him, as we might almost say, with an upbraiding look Tuik at this instant extricated himself from his confined position, and, mangled as he was, renewed the assault, while the spectators cried " Shame; lake him awav." Nero, still unconscious of his power, retreated on the defensive, and roared with pain, and at last Edwards, watching an opportunity, seized Turk by the leg and dragged him out, although still disposed to continue the fight, and immediately claimed the victory for the dogs in consequence of the lion having " turned tail." The majority, however, was against so quick a conclusion of the cruel sport, and Nero was destined to sustain another and more ferocious attack, while every care was taken of Turk, who certainly displayed unparalleled bravery from first lo last. The assault lasted eleven minutes. Poor Nero enjoyed a cessation of hostilities his lips and nose exhibited several marks of the teeth of his assailants, and he was a little distressed; but still there was nothing of that loud roaring which ' natural history describes as indicative of the passion of his species- Mr- Wombwell now came forward and entered the den amidst loud huzzas- Nero scarce noticed him till he procured some water in a tin vessel, which he held to him to lap, and tbe remainder of which he threw in his face. The quietness with which the poor animal conducted himself at this moment, gave additional evidence of the natural docility of his disposition, and the fact of his anger never having been roused. After Mr. Wombwell had retired, he walked about a short time, and then lay down to rest. At length there was a general cry o f " time, time," and Mr. Edwards received instructions to bring forward his second dogs. The dogs were immediately brought forth. Nettle, weighing321hs. Rose, with only one eye, weighing 341bs. Nelson, between a bull anil a mastiff, weighing 701bs. All these dogs were allowed to be better than the first set, and it was therefore pretty certain that Nero, contrary to the sanguine expectations of Mr. Wombwell, would be conquered. Slill it was imagined by some that the repetition of attack would call forth his energies mere decidedly, and that by the full exertion of his natural powers he might yet be successful. SECOND ASSAULT. Shortly before eight ihe new assailants were placed on the platform, held as before by iron chains till the words " let go" were given. They manifested the greatest impatience to commence the attack, while Nero, roused by their how lings, stood in the centre of the den, regarding them wilh a stedf'ast look. Nelson was first let loose, and in a second he caught, poor Nero by the nose. Nettle anil Rose followed, and as quickly made for the same point. Nero roared terrifically, and as before endeavoured to paw them off. He succeeded with some little difficulty, inflicting some severe scratches. He then ran round the bars, as if endeavouring to find an avenue for escape ; but the dogs followed him, and rushing to his front again seiztd him in the tender place. Rose endeavouring to catch him by ihe tongue but only seized his lip. Once more did Nero shake tliem off, inflicting sundry wounds with his talons, and the dogs were bleeding in various parts of their heads and bodies. Nero pursued his retreating system, and ran round the den, amidst cries of " H e ' s beaten, he's beaten!" At this moment he was bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth ; and the seconds of the togs, watching an opportunity, drew them out, and insisted they had won. Mr. Wombwell denied, that his lion was beaten, and ar, appeal was made to the umpires; butlhere appeared to be only one in attendance. A good deal of mock and real altercation followed, and at last it was agreed there should be a THIRD . ASSAULT, And tbe dogs were for the last time led to the platform, all eager for the affray, and in no respect dismayed by Nero who, in fact, had only continued his defensive system making no use whatever of his teeth, and using his paws only to push off his determined assailants. The dogs, at the signal given, made a simultaneous rush, and at the same instant seized the unhappy Nero by the nose, pinning him at once to the floor. Nero succeeded for a moment in shaking them off, but this tended only to increase his own punishment, for they returned to the assault with renewed ferocity, again pinned him at the same instant, and dragged him in an exhausted state close to the railings, where he roared with agony. The victory of the dogs was now evident to all, and Mr. Wombwell admitted himself that his lion had no chance. The moment this admission was made the dogs were taken away, and Nero was left alone. The poor fellow stood up evidently worn out in spirit and body ; the blood flowed copiously from his wounds, and as he paced slowly backwards and forwards, he seemed to be in terror every moment lest the attack should be renewed. Mr. Wombwell, whose mortification was sufficiently apparent, again entered the den with water which he threw over the Icon's head a ceremony which rather increased than diminished his alarm. A short time was then allowed to elapse to permit the crowd to view the effects of the battle, after which the caravan was drawn to the side of the den, and the door of communication having been opened, Nero, with alacrity, took refuge in this sanctuary, which was immediately closed. The last two assaults did not occupy more than five minutes. OBSERVATIONS. It was evident throughout, that the domestic state in which the lion had been brought up, completely disqual - fied him for combat. He had no confidence ill himself, and may be said rather to have resisted persecution, than to have fought the dogs. As an exhibition, it could only be considered as an experiment, and from the want of courage on the part of tbe lion, Ihe interest was greatly diminished. We cannot but hope that this will he the last exhibition of the sort which will be permitted in Ibi? country. A GREECE. Letters, the contents of which may be relied on, have been received from Zante to the 14th ult; they relate a succession of events which occurred in Greece for several months past, and we learn that, after the surrender of Navarino, the Generals who were detained al Hydra, were liberated, in order to put an end to the murmurs then created by the people. Colocotroni then took the field, and with his army succeeded in driving Ibrahim Pachain a position called Lacka, near the forest A Konla tou houkos, where, up to the latest date, he remained firmly enclosed. This circumstance it is said will prove fatal to the power of the Turks in F. gvpt. We also learn, that a body of upwards of C000 Turkish tronps surrendered to Goura, in consequence of their being destitute of provisions. Those troops which were beseiging Messolonghi were expected shortlv lo retire from thesame cause, the garrison being well defended and amply provisioned. Patras was closely invested by four Greek ships, and and it was thought that provisions" were very scarce at that port, the Turkish army in Uomelia having been supplied from thence, and the vessels bound to lhat place with provisions had been captured on their passage. Intelligence had reached Zante of the total defea? of the Turkish fleet from Constantinople, of which action the Government published a proclamation on ihe 24th May. This defeat is considered as nearly concluding the war in Egypt, which had so long been carried on with immense slaughter on both sides. W A T E R F O R D , J U L Y 1 9 . — O n S a t u r d a y , in D u n g a r v a n , twp privates of the detachment of the 58th regiment, named John Mulligan and Daniel Game— the former an Irishman, the latter a native of England— having quarrelled while drinking, determined to seek the gratification of their resentment in a duel, with their muskets ! Accordingly, they loaded their pieces, and, placing themselves at a distance of about sixteen paces, from each other, snapped, but without doing any execution— Game's shot missing his opponent, and Mulligan's musket not going off. The latter, as we have heard ( but of this part of the transaction, it is right to observe there are different versions), then laid aside his arms and expressed a desire to be reconciled to his opponent ( with whom he had previously been on very friendly terms), but Game, still under the influence of passion, and heated by intoxication, declined the proffered reconciliation, reloaded his | iiece, and fired at his unfortunate comrade, who received the ball in his neck, and lell dead on the spot. The survivor, Game, has been committed to the county gaol, under the Coroner's warrant, toabide his trial at" the ensuing Assizes. KEW GARDENS— These gardens are now regularly opened every Sunday evening till half- past nine o'clock. In one of the hot- houses in the Botanical gardens, there is a shoot from the willow that sweeps over and shades Bonaparte's grave at St. Helena. After having been cut from the tree, the little branch was put into earth, and it struck root, Oil arriving in England, it was presented to His Majesty; and as our King wars not with the dead, it was ordered to Kew, and the memorial directed to be taken great care of. It is now hardly a foot high, but it is in full leaf; it is taken special care of, not a leaf of it being suffered to be touched. C O M B I N A T I O N AND M U R D E R ( From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.)— On Sunday, a man named John Doolan, a slater, living in Bridgetiiot- street, was found in a dairv yard in Ardee street, in a shockingly contused state, and was removed bv the Police to the Coombe Hospital, where he died very shortly after. An inquest was held on the body, and the Jury returned a verdict, That the deceased came by his death in consequence of wounds inflicted on his head. The deceased did not belong to " t h e body," and worked under the regulated prices of the Union. It is, therefore, not doubted that he fell a victim to the murderous combination, or " Union of Trades," which has existed for some time past in Dublin. ANOTHER CASE.— On Thursday, Mr. William Pickering, paper- manufacturer, lodged informations lo the following effect, at the Head Police- Office, Dublin : That for the better carrying on of his business, at Maillmount, near Rathfarnham, he lately took into his employment, as foreman, a man named Collins, a native of Scotland, in consequence of which the greater part of his people left tlieii work on Saturday last, and during some part of that night, his watercourse was destroyed, and the water turned off to the great injury of his business! A bout 100 persons, armed with bludgeons, a bayonet and cane sword, beat the wife and daughter of an Irishman in Mr. Pickering's employ, most brulally, on the previous day. E L E C T I O N OF C H A I R M A N FOR THE MANCHESTER, A N D S A L F O R D S E S S I O N S — A t the Q u a r t e r S e s s i o n s h e ld at the New Bailey on Monday week, after the Grand Jury had been charged, the Magistrates present with the exception of Mr. Norris, withdrew to determine upon the Gentleman to be appointed lo occupy the situation of Chairman. In about halfor three quarters of an hour Mr. Norris was called into the Magistrates' room ; and shortly afterwards Mr. Hav came into the Court, leading Mr. Norris, and followed by the whole Bench of Magistrates. — Mr. Hay, evidently much affected, addressed the Gentlemen of the Bar, and informed them that the Magistrates had appointed Mr. Norris to the office of Chairman. He took the opportunity of saying that he now finally retired from that Court; and he begged to express his thanks to the Gentlemen of the Bar for the attention which he had. uniformly received from them during the long time he had officiated there The Rev. Gentleman was here so much affected that he shed tears, and could not proceed. Mr. Norris then addressed the Bar. He said, lie could not enter upon the important situation which the kindness of his fellow- magistrates, more than any merit of his own, had placed him in, without feeling great diffi. dence, as he followed two gentlemen, who had so ably filled it , the one for twentv- two years, and the other for two • ears. He must in vain hope satisfactorily to follow the example set him by the Gentlemen who had preceded him, but at the same time he would endeavour to do so. He trusted lhat he should, by degrees, be competent to fulfil the duties of the situation, at least with impartiality to all parties. With respect to the Gentlemen of the Bar, he hoped to receive from them that courtesy which had been uniformly paid to his predecessors, and that assistance which would aid him in fulfilling duties always important, but in none more so than in this Court of Quarter Session— The Magistrates then withdrew to con. siller upon several questions relative to Bridges, and other matters that are not brought before the public. They returned to Court in the afternoon, and after trving an appeal of no public interest, proceeded in tbe usual course to arraign the Prisoners against whom the Grand Jury had found Bills. The business of the Court was, at this period, suddenly suspended for a short time. Mr. Ashworth, who had just received a note in Court, spoke pri. vatelv to Mr. Norris, and gave him the note, who immediately took it out of Court, apparently to shew it to the other Magistrates not on the Bench This note seemed to excite a considerable sensation amongst the Gentlemen of the Bar, to whom Mr. Ashworth appeared to be communicating the contents. We understand t was a note from Mr. Sergeant Cross, at the Albion Hotel, to Mr. Ashworth, desiring that lie would communicate to the Bench and the Gentlemen of the Bar, that he ( the Sergeant) should not consider the appointment, of Air. Norris to the situation of Chairman as complete, until it had been ratified by Lord Bexley, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancashire, to whom, we understand, the Sergeant stated he intended to apply. Mr. Norris returned into Court in about five or ten minules. and gave the note back to Mr. Ashworth, who, after handing it round to the Bar, wrote a note in reply to Mr. Sergeant Cross, which we understand merely sta'ed that he had, as desired, communicated hi? no l e Bencb actl the Bar.

THIS Company is founded upon the principle of dividing the whole of its Profits amongst Ihe Shareholders and such Persons as have effected Insurances. To the Shareholders a fair rate of Interest will be paid on their advanced Capital, with a Bonus of One- third of the profits ; and to the Insured, ( whether Shareholders or not) a Bonus of the remaining Two. thirds, in proportion to the premiums paid by each on Policies of not less than one year's duration. The Interest will be paid annually, and the Bonuses will be divided pvery seven years. The subscribed Capital of Five Millions is divided into 250,000 Shares of £ 20. each, upon which two pounds per share, amounting to £ 500,090, have been paid and invested; and as each Shareholder is bound to effect and keep up Insurances equal to the amount of his shares, or to pay a fine of one shilling per share annually, the Company secures a certain • d accumulating business, the profits of • which will be divided amongst all who are connected with it, whether as Shareholders or Insurers; thus the Shareholder has a profitable investment of his capital, and the insured participates largely in the profits o f a Company, whose business is commanded by the number and obligations of its Shareholders. ' The terms of Insurance are liberal. Losses will be settled and paid promptly ; and claims submitted to arbitration, if required. Losses by Lightning will be made good. No charge will be made for Policies of £ 300 and upwards. D I R E C T O R S . J A M E S R R O G D E N , Esq. M. P. Chairman. R I C H A R D S O N BOIIRADAILE, Esq. Deputy Chairman, S A T U R D A Y , J U L Y 30, 1825. NOTHING of any public interest, wi th the exception of the Assizes, which are now general throughout the country, has occurred since our last, and consequently we have had nothing before us save a disgusting detail of crime in all its most frightful shapes; together with certain minor offences, such as libels, breach of promise, crim. con., and cruelty to animals, of which the hangman, the last officer of the law, takes no cognizance. Now that Parliament is prorogued, and all the great questions which agitated the countrv have for a time subsided, and are at rest, horseracing, and banging for horse stealing, are the orders of tbeday ; and instead of the splendid oratory of our Legislators we can expect nothing but the last dying- speeches of the miserable wretches, whose lives are justly forfeited to the outraged laws, and a detail of their executions. WITH the exception of what we have already alluded to, the proceedings of the Catholic Association, however tiresome a repetition of our comments on the subject may be, is the only circumstance which can occupy the public attention ; and accordingly, we find Mr. O'CONNELI, and Mr. SHIEL, at Wexford, doing all tbe mischief that in them lies. The former gentleman, to be sure, was called away to attend his professional duties, and had only time to pocket a couple of silver tureens, which some people who have heen fools enough to suffer themselves lo be de. lulled by his absurdities, ( to say nothing worse) have presented to him ; but Mr. SHIEL most ably, after his own fashion, made up tor the deficiency. We cannot pretend to wade through the whole of thia tragedy- gentleman's ranting nonsense, but will content ourselves with thefol lowing extract :— " Sooner or later, the popular passions will attain boil lip. and the volcanic matter will once more find a vent. You, over whom the lava that is yet scarcely cool rolled tlown, watched the smoke of the crater, and remember that another eruption may fake place. This is not the ebullition o f a mind fermenting with bad nnd foul emotions— nope but the utterly desperate can desire a convulsion, which would hn in all likelihood as unavailing as it. would hp bloody. But how deeply would it steep Irelar '-' n tears. If. should, however, be remembered, that which . 1 may deprecate, we may not be able to avert.— ( Applause.) The ofllee of prevention lies with the Ministry, whose leader in the House of Commons has lately told them that the enemies of England had fixed their hopes upon this discontented country. ( Loud cheers.) Thatintimation, io which I have done no more than given a distinct expression, contains a warning-, in which'every subject of this hind is equally concerned. Protestants of Ireland— the cause is yours as much as it is our own. ( Loud cheers.) Do not console yourselves with Ihe mean and selfish hope ihat Ihese events cannot happen before you have descended into the earth. The interest of your children is at stake, and the time may come ' God grant, that it may never arrive!) when your sons shall be slaughtered on your thresholds, nnd your daughters may scream for help upon their fathers' grave.' ( Loud and continued cheers!) 1' Now this puts us exceedingly in mind, with all its fustian, of the priest, leader of an Italian banditti, who, whenever his murderous crew went forth in search of plunder, exhorted them to abstain as much as possible, and only just to help themselves to what out of actual necessity they required ; and whenever any thing like a certainty of detection occurred, bv no means to cut the throats of their victims, to avoid it, thereby clearly pointing out the expediency of doing that which he so speciously deprecated.

I M P R O V E M E N T OF ROADS A m e e t i n g of t h e C o m - missioners of the whole line of road from Ashbourne to Stockport, was held at Leek on Monday last, when it was resolved that a survey should be forthwith made, with a view to ascertain what improvements could be effected, and how far the line can be shortened. No measure can be of greater importance to this town and Leek; and when we know that by turning the road, all the heavy hills between them may be avoided and a communication opened, with very little exception upon a dead level all the way, we sincerely hope that no mistaken notion of economy will intervene to cripple so important and useful an undertaking. We expected to have been able to lay before our readers Mr. Telford's report, upon the projected Macclesfield Canal; a meeting is to beheld this day of the Committee, when it will be laid before them. We understand it is highly satisfactory. A new bank is about to be established at Shrewsbury, under the firm of Price, H ughes, Iones, and Edwards. A vast deal of Church property has been sold this season. The low rate of interest will account for the high prices it now produces, as compared with former years Add to this the difficulty of finding employment for the younger branches of a family in the Navy and Army, and a satisfactory reason for increased value in Church property will be apparent.

The lover ' made believe' on ihe night in question to go to Ashborne on professional business, but after getting a short distance from the town he was met hy his fair one, and they proceeded in a chaise lo Clieadle, and so on through this town, where they arrived about three o'clock on the following morning, on their way lo the north. Wejiave hot heard of them since. We understand the young gentleman's papa on ascertaining huw matters stood, or rather, how they were running away, commenced a leisurely pursuit in a " one horse shay," hut the young ones having ten hours start were in little danger of being caught. Under these circumstances we should recommend to the pursuer ( who is also a doctor) the application of the following axiom to himself, which in the course of bis professional career he must so often, together with his physic, have adniinistere I to his patients: " What cp. n't be cured, must be endured." SUICIDE— On Friday morning se'nnight, a woman of the name of A m y Davenport, was found drowned in the River Mersey, close to Lancashire Bridge. It appeared before the CoronerV Inquest, held al Mr. Shawcross's, the Dog and Buck, Heaton Iforris, that the deceased was at the time in an unsound state of mind— that she had several times attempted to destroy herself, and that on one occasion she had so far succeeded that animation was, for a time, suspended, but by the application of proper means she recovered. Oil this occasion she rose from her bed— partly dressed herself, and left her residence, a cellar in John- street, Stockport, to throw herself into the water from the Bridge. The Jury returned a verdict of Found drowned in the Itiver Mersey. She vras an unmarried woman, about 40 years ot' age, has had five illegitimate children, and had two of them living with her. An Inquest was held on Monday last, at Mrs. Bradley's, in Dukinfield, before J. Hollins, Esq. on the body of a child which was run over by a carl belonging to Mr. Alexander, brewer, of Salford, Manchester. The circumstances attending the death of this child were aggravated hy the driver of the cart, which passed over the child, sitting, at the time of the accident, in another cart then following his own, and the j u r y very property returning a verdict of Manslaughter, he was committed on the Coroner's Warrant to Chester Castle.

Roberts, the ingenius inventor ofthe hood and mouthpiece to enable persons tu enter places on fire, and to endure what would otherwise cause suffoAtion, continues to meet with great encouragement in the metropolis. On the 6th instant he appeared before the Chancellor of Ihe Exchequer, to receive £ 100, the liberal bounty of his Majesty; on which occasion the Right Honourable Gentleman presented him with the sum of £ 10, out of his private purse, and promised to submit one of his apparatus to the inspection of the Lords of the Admiralty. Sir Robert Wilson has interested himself on his behalf; and at the request of some distinguished, individuals in Paris, Roberts is about to proceed to the French capital with some of his invaluable life- preservers.

D U T Y ON F I R E I N S U R A N C E S T h i s d u l y f o r t h e l a st year amounts to £ 059,377- The duty being 3s. for every £ 100. insured, it follows that tbe total amount of property insured is, in round numbers, about £ 159,585,000. It is probable that at least an equal amount remained uninsured. E X T R A O R D I N A R Y P H E N O M E N O N On T u e s d a y m o r n - ing last, Mr. Wilson, Governor of Hertford gaol, had a sow farrow twelve pigs, one of which was born dead, and on examining it, it was found to have a human face growing from its mouth. We have been favoured with a sight of it. The lower jaw of the pig is complete, and the tongue protrudes nearly an inch out of the mouth ; the snout is turned backwards towards the ears, and from the mouth a human face projects. The eves, eyebrows, and nose are complete, and the mouth marked. There are no eyes but those in the human face. The sow and ten of the pigs are doing well County Chronicle.

We regret to have to remark, that the manufacturing trade of this town still continues under severe depression. Employment has become more restricted; several additional factories work fewer than their usual hours, and some large ones have entirely stopped their operations. The consequence is deeply in jurious to the general commercial and other interests, with the additional evil of the total inaction of many thousands of industriously- disposed work- people. We believe the entire cause of this state of things to be the late very extensive and unnatural attempt to throw all the raw material under the influence of monopoly, which is continually frustrated by successive large arrivals of cotton from various parts of the world Manchester Chronicle. The discovery of the Miftonian MS. in the State Paper Office has led to the appointment, by His Majesty, of Commissioners to examine the documents in that valuable depository of the records of former times. During the fights at Warwick on Tuesday the sun was so intensely hot and the air so close and oppressive, that hundreds of the spectators, before both of thein were ended, were almost in a fainting state. The publicans of Warwick could not supply liquor in the parish of Budbrook, where the fights took place, and this was the cause of much of Ihe distress which followed. Neither, ale, porter, or spirits could begot. A sovereign was offered many times for a quart of porter, and a shilling for a bottle of water. Two pumps near the spot were soon exhausted, and the water drank by the populace ; and ton- arils the end, water was fetched in buckets and bottles from the canal, and sold at 2d. and 3d. a pint, and in many instances at a much higher price The pick- pockets obtained much booty, as many people had their pockets emptied. At Worcester Assizes two women ( mother anil daughter) were convicted of horse- stealing, and judgement of death wes recorded against them. They had been tried about a year ago for stealing a colt.

These R ices, w hich were held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last, have heen very well attended, and tbe running has heen generally good. We have below giv- en a return list of the Horses. The Cavalry Cup, which always excites the greatest interest, was easily won bv Mr'. Oldham's Mux Edwards, of the Stockport Troop of Hussars. Dale's Miller's Joy, the pride of all the Sporting Yeomen in this part, was easily beaten; indeed, in the second heat lie with difficulty saved his distance. The odds were greatly in his favour al starting; but he was soon passed hv both the other horses, and never recovered his situation. The dUst on each day was extremely annoying— the heat excessive— and the road between Macclesfield and Knuts'ordwas crowded with vehicles of all descriptions. The Grand Stand was crowded with Ladies of distinction, and the Race Ball, hel. l at the George Hotel, very fashionably attended.

M C H E L T E N H A M — A Mr. Danvers matched himself, at t h e finish o f t h e Cheltenham Races, to go on foot f r om thence to Bavswater, 94 miles, in 22 hours, for 200 sovereigns. The" s t a r t took place on Friday night, and the pedestrian performed 30 miles in six hours w i t h o u t stopping to refresh. He accomplished the 50 miles in half the stipulated time, and travelled leiz u r e l y at r a t h e r more than four miles an hour, and won t h e match easy with ten minutes to spare 0 """ nels only, and thick shoes. B R U T A L CONDUCT On Saturday last, a person o f t he name of Tonge undertook for a wager, to ride a beautiful and valuable mare, his own property, from Pendleton to Liverpool ( a distance of 34 miles) in two hours. He started, and when within t h i r t e e n miles from the latter place t h e animal dropped under him and expired almost instantly, f r om fatigue. S U R C H A R G E S A table of returns from surveyors of t h e Assessed taxes has been printed, s t a t i n g t h e number of surcharges which each has made within the last two years, t h e proportions of those which have been allowed and disallowed, and t h e sums of money received by tach on account, of surcharges. This document shows t h e annovances to which those who contribute to this branch of taxation are, 111 many instances, unnecessarily subject, in addition to the pressure of the taxes themselves. I11 t he very first page of t h e r e t u r n , of 197 appeals, 50 were given in favour of the a p p e l l a n t s ; in another instance, of 54 appeals, 27 were successful t in Chester, 19 surcharges were allowed, and 30 disallowed ; in Cornwall, out of 118, 75 were disallowed ; in Cumberland, 27 were allowed, and 81 disallowed. Similar instances might be multiplied— but with these evidences Itefore us, bespeaking a tendency in some public- officers to distress the people, surely there can be 110 stronger ' argument than this for inducing minist e r s lo r e p e a t ' t h e whole body of Assessed ' Taxes, which are indeed the least productive of all others a j c o n i p a r ed with their pressure on individuals. P A R I S H S E T T L E M E N T By an a c t p a s s e d on t h e 2- 2d of June last, the act 59th George I I I . respecting settlements being gained by renting tenements, was repealed, and the following enacted in its stead:—>' That no person shall acquire a settlement in any parish or township maintaining its own poor, by or for reason of settling upon, renting, or paying parochial rates for any tenement, not being his or her own properly, unless such tenement shall consist o f a separate and distinct dwelling- house or building, or of land, bona fide rented tiy such person, in such parish or township, at aud for the sum of £ 10 a- year at the least, for the term of one whole year; nor unless such house or building, or. land, shall be occupied under such yearly hiring, anil the rent for the same, to the amount of £ 10. actually paid, for the term of one whole year at least; provided always that it shall not be necessary to prove the actual value of such tenements; any . tiling in any act or acts, or any construction of, or implication from any act or acts, or any usage or custom to the contiarv, notwithstanding." CAUTION TO COACHMEN.— A conviction took place at Warrington on Saturday last, before Thomas Lyon, Esq. of some consequence to those in the habit of travelling by stage coaches. The driver of the Sovereign coach, front London to Liverpool, was convicted in the mitigated penalty of five pounds, for carrying twelve passengers outside, with a very considerable quantity of luggage on the roof o f t h e coach. The object o f the* conviction was, to compel the proprietors of coaches in Liverpool to abandon the prevalent practice, of the illegality of which the public do not seem to be aware, of carrying any luggage on the roof with twelve outside passeng'ers. The Legislature, to secure the safety of passengers, has directed, that no luggage whatever, under such circumstances, shall be carried 011 the roof; but, with only ten outside passengers luggage is permitted, provided the extreme height of the same does not measure more than ten feet nine inches from the ground." I11 the above case, the proprietors have thought proper to direct the driver to enter into recognizances to appeal to the Quarter Sessions in October next, when, we have. no doubt, the conviction will be confirmed. A S H O W E R OF W I N E ! ! ! On Saint Swithin's Dav, this Year, 15th of this Month, ( July) the Drawing of Ihe State Lottery took place ; the W A T E R Y S A I NT on that day did not shower down his usual favours, but our old friend BIS H enabled^ Lira to shower WINE, instead of WATER, all over the United Kingdom; as it will be recollected, he added, as Contractor for the last Lottery, Sixtyfour Pipes of Wine, in Four Prizes ; one of these Prizes, entitled to Sixteen Pipes of Wine, BISH sold; andinaiMition to them he sold Nos. 3, G13, a Prize of £ 21,000, 9,776, another Prize of £ 21,000, EG87, a Prize of £ 2,000, and 4.837, a Prize of £ 1,050, besides several minor Capitals, all drawn same day, ( 15th inst.) The Money Capitals, as usual, the fortunate holders may receive the amount on demand; and the Wine Capital Prizes the holders mav select the vei v best Wine they can pick out. from the Stock of any Wine Merchant in the United. Kingdom, B I SH will pay for it, and send it, Carriage free, to wherever the fortunate holders reside; or if the quantity of Wine is too much, or they prefer receiving Money, B I S H will pay in Money whatever tile very best Wine would cost. The above wonderful luck is only a continuance of that very extraordinary success which always attends Bisu's Offices, but particularly so in the last EIGHT Months, as he has sold in that short period, three of £ 30,000, Nos. 1,804, 2,478. and 15,756; Two of £ 21,000, Nos. 3, CI 3, and 9,776; Four of£ 20,000, Nos. 699, 7- 034, 1- 5,301, and 15,556; One of £ 10,000, No. 5,446, besides an immense number of small Capitals.

MACCLESFIELD COURIER, STOCKPORT EXPRESS, AND CHESHIRE GENERAL ADVERTISE^. — POETRY. THE POETRY OF L. E. L. ADTHOR OF THE " IMPBOVISATRICE." This young poet has produced another work under the title of " The Trotibndour; Poetical Sketches of Modern Pictures, and Historical Sketches." The Troubadour is concluded by n finale, in which the personal sentiments of the author are distinctly expressed. Here she leaves fiction aud fancy, and after a charming description of the effect which the success of her first work, and the praise it procured for her, had upon her heart and spirits,- so as to lead her to begin a new attempt, she addresses herself to the contrast afforded by its close, when she lost a fond and affectionate father. We never perused any thing more honourable • to the head and heart of a poet than this natural and pathetic apostrophe.-"-( Literary Gazette.) My task is done my fale is told, The lute drops from my wearied hold: Spreads no screen earth, no summer sky To raise fresh visions for my eye. The hour is dark, the winter rain Beats cold and harsh against the pane, Where, spendthrift ) ike, the branches twine, " Worn, knotted, of a leafless vine ; And the wind howls in gusts around As omens were in each drear sound,— Omens that bear upon their breath Tidings of sorrow, pain, and death.

Tuesday se'nnight being the anniversary of his most Gracious Majesty's Coronation, the Members of the Nantwich King and Constitution Club, met together at the Crown - Inn, to celebrate the day. Henry Calveley Cotton, Esq. of Combermere Abbey, in the Chair; William Sprout, Esq. Vice- president. Notwithstanding the extreme heat of the day, ( the thermometer in the shade indicating 88,) and the'distance at » hich several of the Members resided, a large party assembled; and after the usual preparatory meeting of the officers, sat down to dinner about hall- past four o'clock. The repast partook of all the varities of the season, and was got up in excellent style by Mrs. White. Delightful venison, presented by our respected county Member, Wilbraham Egerton, Esq.; and included in the dessert were some delicious grapes and pines, the latter o fa species sent home by Lord Combermere during his Governship of Barbadoes, and of superb flavour. Such an assemblage as graced the Ball- room of the Crown Inn, on Tuesday, is highly creditable to the loyal town and neighbourhood of Nantwich. On the cloth being withdrawn the following Toasts were g i v e n :— The King, and God bless him, 4 limes 4. The Duke of York and the Army, 3 times 3. The Duke of Clarence and tbe Navy, 3 times 3. Tbe Royal Family. The CHAIRMAN— I will trespass upon your time for a few minutes. The Nantwich King and Constitution Club was instituted for excellent purposes to enable us, by associating together, to evince otir love to the patriotic Sovereign of these Realms, and to Ifie blessed political Constitution of the country, both in Church and State ( Hear, hear.) You mignt have observed., Gentlemen, in proposing a former toast, I did not say one word about the great merits of an exalted Individual, but I think that we should not be silent. Every one knows, that when his Majesty ascended the throne of these Realms, or rather, when he assumed the reins of Government, owing to the lamented malady of his illustrious father, he expl£ citly declared that he would make np alteration whatever in the existing administration, so that in the event of his father's recovery, he might, find things precisely' in the same state as they were previous to his illness. His Royal Highness acted up to the very letter of that declaration, and although his Majesty did not recover, still aft fairs were ordered on the same uniformity of principle which instanced bis anxiety for the quiet and well- being of the nation, and entitled hirii to the heartfelt thanks of all classes of his'subjects. ( Hear, hear.") Gentlemen, what 1 have just stated to you, I have from the best authority ; and if further proof were wanting of his, patriotic and benevolent views, we have it in fits recent personal visits to distant parts of his dominions. Gentlemen, the Nantwich King and Constitution Club should act up to the principles of the Constitution. Every one Ttnows and feels tbe blessings we enjoy from that. Constitution} and although endeavours have been made by deep designing men to injure and deface it, all their attempts have proved abortive, and it stillexists in its original pride and Majesty. ( Hear and cheers.) It has been suggested to me, that there are certain gentlemen who have expressed a feeling of regret at not joining this Club, and giving as a reason for their hot doing so, that powerful friends had interfered to prevent them from so doing. But, Gentlemen, I think there must be some mistake in this— tbe fact cannot be as it has been represented to me I know that the Gentlemen who are alluded to, are too liberal— I am persuaded they would not interfere in the way whit- li has been described; and although there may be several who may not choose to visit us, I am nevertheless convinced they wish all of us to do what we think may be best for the general good. ( Hear, hear.) They wish us to have what we really enjoy; liberty of conscience, and liberty of action. Do you think, then, that there are any of them who would really object to meet us ?— We join no party— we stigmatize no body. The only object of our meeting is publicly to manifest our love to the King, and our zeal in the support of the Constitution in Church and State ( Loud ami long cheering) Before 1 sit down, I will shortly advert to another circumstance: I t is our duty as laymen to support the Church, for if the Church falls, the Constitution of the Country will inevitably follow it. You must be well aware, Gentlemen, that it is one of the plans of the enemies of both, to attack the Church in the first instance, in order by so doing, to accomplish the downfall of the Slate. True Englishmen. therefore, should unite— should associate as we do, and for the same purpose,— that of upholding the Church, for neither King nor Constitution will stand without it. Tbe enemies of all have attacked one or two individuals, but with little effect,— the poisoned arrows of heir malevolence have recoiled, and proved ineffectual. Gentlemen I will no longer detain you from the sentiment to which I have adverted, and that is— Our Glorious Constitution in Cburcll and State. God Save the King was extremely well sung by !" r. T" nilinsnn, of Chester. The Laws and Judges of the Land. CHAIRMAN— I am now about to propose to you the health of an illustrious individual, of whose merits I might speak volumes. It is the health of his Royal Highness the - Duke of York and Albany ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) We before drank his health, as leader and Chief ofthe Army, which he has conducted and superintended in a way which has obtained tor him the unqualified admiration of all military men ; we will now do it, as His Royal Highness the Duke of York and Albany, and thanks to him for his open and upright avowal of his sentiments, on the Roman Catholic Emancipation ( Question :— 3 times 3, and cheering for a considerable time. The CHAIRMAN— Toasts crowd so thick upon us— we have so many genuine good ones to drink, that we scarcely know in what order to give them— Allow me to propose to you the health of the greatest Captain that this or any other age has produced.— Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, 3 times 3. S. HARDING, Esq. ofWrenlmry Mr. Vice- President and Gentlemen, I have the honour of proposing thehealth ofa Noble Lord— a high- born and gallant Warrior, who has served his Country in Foreign Climes, and is now employed by his Sovereign, in the East Indies, Lord Combermere and the the House of Combermere.— Drank with 3, times 3, and loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks on behalf of his Noble relative, and adverted to his gallant services during the late war. fie had embarked in many importantenterprises with the great General whose health the Company had just before drank; and he ( the Chairman) believed he might say, that he had never gained or participated in a Victory, but what he thought of his neighbours in and near Nantwich, and of the share he might have in reliev. lKg them and Europe from one of the most terrible and oppressive tyrannies ever imposed upon mankind— That triumph has been accomplished, and this country was now elevated to that lofty and commanding situation which made it envied by all the world, and far beyond that which could have been anticipated by its most sanguine wellwisher. Commerce and Manufactures had improved to an incredible extent, and every part of the Globe partook of eur industry, whilst at the same time agriculture was flourishing. If, therefore, any one was idle in this country, it was his own fault. One thing, however, he much wished, and that was, that the great men of the country would stop at home and spend their money here, instead of squandering it in foreign lands. SONG, Mr. Wallace—" Wellington's Name." CHAIRMAN.— I will now, Gentlemen, proposetoyou another General, though last not least in the estimation of the Country— one who has mainly assisted in bringing ihout the peace ofthe world, and who has done honour to England—- Lord Hill. SONG, Mr. Harding,—" Come, come, my Jolly Lads" Mr. Harding's health was drank, and that Gentleman in very neat terms expressed his thanks. The CHAIRMAN* said, he had a toast which he conceived to be of some importance to propose, and which any per. son might concientiously drink, _ although opposed in opinion to others on religious topics. The late question in the House of Lords might be thought well or ill of, but he ( the Chairman) thought no Protestant— no respectable Catholic could object to it, because they could wish for no other ascendancy in this country. The Protestant Ascendancy. The - Ladies. SONG, " The Glasses sparkle," Mr. Tomlinsin. The Rev. Mr. Cotton, and better health to him,— proposed by Mr. Corser, of Whitchurch. Mr. MARE Gentlemen, it may perhaps be deemed nhtrnsive in my presuming to propose a toast, but I hope that the worthy Vice- President, and you. Gentlemen, will pardon me, if, on this occasion, I take the liberty of proposing to you the health of a Gentleman, whose virtues have endeared him lo the heart of every Member of this Club. He, too, Gentlemen, is a branch of the illustrious House of Combermere— and I therefore respectfully - propose to you, the health of our worthy Chairman. ( Three times three, and loud and long cheering.) The CHAIRMAN— I am very far, Gentlemen, from being able to express to you my thanks in the way I could wish, for the great honour you have just now done me, and more especially for the warmlh with which the proposition of my health was received, and the handsome terms in which it was announced by the worthy gentleman, Mr. Mare. It was highly gratifying to me, to meet so nionv Gentlemen, so perfectly respectable, as 1 have now the honour of addressing, and more especially united together in so good a cause. Gentlemen, with respect to tbe town of Nantwich, I have lived a neighbour to It a great portion of my life, and it therefore enhances the pleasure which I now enjoy on so good, so laudable, and I wilL say. SO useful an occasion, in having the happiness of presiding here. Gentlemen, we meet here for the purposeof indulging in a loyal feeling and in the mutuality of good wishes; permit me, therefore, to propose to you, Prosperity to the town and trade of Nantwich. The Lord Lieutenant of the County. The Members for Ihe County, and thanks to them for their firm support of our blessed Constitution in Church and State, CHAIRMAN I will now propose to you the health of those Gentlemen from Chester, who have visited us on this occasion, and who are members of a similar Club, also distinguished for its loyalty and attachment to the Constitution— I mean the Chester King and Constitution Club, 3 times 3. Mr. Tomlinson returned thanks. CHAIRMAN— Gentlemen, I will now, with your permission,— and I shall feel no small pleasure in announcing it,— propose to you the health of a Right Rev. Prelate, who, in his situation ill the House of Peers, has supported the Church o f England manfully and with extraordinary ability I will give you the health of the Lord Bishop of Chester This health was drank with 3 times 3, and loud applause, CHAIRMAN— I shall now propose the health of a most excellent man— and certainly I never saw a Vice- President carry himself better through a day's proceedings than he has dope— and, considering myself the Coachman of the Club, never had I a better Postillion; I will give you the health Of William Sprout, Esq. our respected Vice- President, and many thanks to him for his services to the society, 3 times 3. Mr. SPROUT I rise, Gentlemen, to return you, and our worthy Chairman, my best thanks, for the honour you have j u s t now done me in drinking my health in so marked a manner ; and at the same time I cannot forbear expressing my delight in seeing so numerous and respectable a company, It is now 28 years since I put on a red coat, a black stock, and a sword, in defence of my good King aud my envied country ; and although I am now far advanced in years I am still willing if necessity should require it, to perform the same yiart again.— ( Cheers, unci cries of hear, hear.)— Once more to handle my sword for our present beloved Sovereign and the same glorious Constitution. ( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will not trespass on your time by lengthened observations ; I am one of those who like promptitude— who admire business. done in a crack ; and therefore after indulging in the remark, that there is not a greater. Cocker on the turf than our worthy brother and Vice- president, I will give yon the health of Dr. Belly. se, and may he long eiijoy health and happiness. Dr. Bellvse, in very warm terms, expressed his thanks for the honour conferred upon him.

Mr. Turner returned thanks, and stated, that 011 account of " tlie distance at which he resided from Nantwich, and the impossibility, from that circumstance, of attending to the interests oftiie Institution, he was under the necessity of resigning the office of Secretary. He had in Iris view < i gentleman, who was perfectly competent to succeed him in the offijd, and that gentleman was his worthy friend, Mr. I. iversage.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. I. iversage expressed his thanks. He had not tbe least idea of being appointed to so honourable an office till that day, and happy should he be to render any service in perpetuating ihe Club and its principles. ( Hear, hear.)

B O R O U G H C O U R T . — R e f o r e Mr. JUSTICE PARK. MURDER. Thomas Dcvcy, aged 28, was charged with the wilful murder of Maria Austen, 011 the 2d of July, instant, by stabbing her with a knife. This case had excited considerable interest in the town, and the Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner was a married man and had cohabited with the deceased, who was also married, with three children, but had separatee! from her husband for some time, and at the period the offence was committed, was far advanced in pregnancy. Mr. READER, on the part of the prosecution, stated the tbe case to the Jury, which was tully made out by the evidence of the following witnesses:— Mary Fallowell— I am a single woman, and boarded in the same house with Maria Austen; the prisoner also lodged under the same roof; I went into the deceased's room about half past ten on tile night of the 2d of July, and the prisoner followed soon after; be asked me what he had said the night before to Mary Austen, the daughter ofthe deceased; i s a i d " Y o u threatened to strike her." The prisoner admitted he had said so, and the deceased then said that her children should not be controlled by him. He then went into his own room, which wa9 on the other side of the passage, and returned, went up to tbe deceased, and struck her a violent blow below the left breast, saying " T h e r e then." The prisoner then returned into his room, and I heard him lay something on the table. I supported the decesed in my arms; she put her hand to her left side and groaned. I desired a daughter of the deceased to go and fetch her uncle, but the prisoner replied, " don't send for any one, for she is a murdered woman."— I then asked the prisoner to let eh a light, but he said " its of no use, she is a< lead woman." He fetched a light, and went up and kissed the deceased, saying, " it will be tile last time." The prisoner was going down stairs, and met the brother of the decease/), who said, " Tom, what have you been doing ?" He replied, " nothing." A Surgeon was then « n t for, but before he f-. rrived, the deceased expired. I assisted in carrying the body up stairs, and on undressing her, I saw that her clothes were very bloody. I do not know that there had been any quarrel between them. The next morning I went into the prisoner's room, and saw three knives on the table, one of which, a butcher's knife, I deli vered to the constable. I compared this knife with the cuts in the clothes of the deceased, and thought they corresponded in size. Cross- examined by Air. I l n . t — T h e r e was no fire or candle in the room; the prisor- yr did not lock his door when he went out. The knife I Sound on the table in the prisoner's room early the next morning; the deceased did not wish any body to be sent for. I have known the prisoner about half a year, and 1 always thought him a very still quiet man. ' By Mr. Justice PARK— I saw the deceased's husband that night; he had been living at Leicester, but had come to Nottingham that day. Samuel Spencer— I am one of the police officers of this town; I received a knife from the last witness, which I now produce. ( The production of this instrument, together with the clothes token from the body of Ihe deceased, and which were nearly saturated with blood, excited great sensation in Court. The knife was similar to those used by butchers, and had been made verv sharp at the point.) I compared the knife with tile cuts in the clothes of the deceased and thought they corresponded. Maria Austen, a child of nine years of age, after being questioned by the I . earned Judge as to tbe nature of an oath, was sworn. 1 am a daughter of the deceased, and was in the room on the night my mother- was hurt. The prisoner enme into my mother's room, and my mother told him be sliould have nothing to do with her children. By the JUDGE— I saw the prisoner slrike my mother; I was standing opposite my mother. Ann Whiting, the mother- in- law of Ihe deceased. I was sent for about half- past ten on the night wf the murder, and found my daughter dving; I sen', for a Surgeon, but she died before he arrived; I assisted in undressing her, and found a wound under her left breast, and a considerable quantity of blood. Mr. White,— I am a surgeon in Nottingham; on tbe night in question I was called to the deceased; . she was then dead; 1 examined tbe body the following day before the Coroner's Inquest, and found thit the left lobe of tbe liver had been perforated by some shrirp instrument, and a considerable effusion of blood in toe abdomen; tile wound was about four inches deep, and had evidently been given by a violent blow; I compared the knife now produced with the wound in the liver, and it precisely corresponded in size; the deceased was far advanced in pregnancy. The examination of tbe prisoner, taken before the Magistrates, was then put in. It contained a complete confession of the murder. The prisoner in his defence said, that he bad for the last few years been subject to violent pains in the head, which at times deprived him of reason, and that he had more than onCe attempted suicide. The Learned Counsel for tbe prisoner set up a plea of insanity, to prove which several persons, relations o f t he prisoner, were called. Their evidence, however, entirely failed in substantiating such plea. Air, Justice PARK summed np the evidence with tbe greatest perspecuity, and the Jury, after a few moments' deliberation, returned a verdict of " Guilty." Tbe Learned Judge immediately passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, and ordered hiru for execution on Wednesday, and his body to be delivered over for dissection. not. When Airs. Bridgeham interfered he was going to strike at her; he then shut the door, and caught his wife's head against the chair. Cross- examined— I believe the prisoner to be a peaceable and industrious man, and never knew any thing mischievous of the deceased. The surgeon, who was called to attend the deceased, opened her bead, and discovered her death was occasioned by inflammation of the brain. There was a slight tumor in the upper part of the left side of the head. It may have been occasioned by a blow. The inflammation might have been produced by the foil on the floor. In his cross- examination, he said liquor taken in large quantities might have caused her death ; but. her breath did not indicate that she had drank much. Previous drinking might have caused it. A good character was given the prisoner by several witnesses. Verdict— Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, on the - ground of the provocation he received. YORK ASSIZES, July 20. John Jloiinson was indicted for killing and slaying his wife, at New Alalton, on the 23d of'March last. The prisoner was in the service of Earl Filxwilliam, and was defended at his expense. J Ann Sawden examined I live near the prisoner, at New Malton, and am acquainted with his wife. The prisoner's wife came to me to look for lodgings on the night of the 2d. of March. She got up after going to bed, and took a little gin. She got up and went to her own house at midnight I saw the prisoner go into his own heuse about noon on the day mentioned in the indictment. Cross- examined Though I knew the prisoner's wife for a year and a half, 1 did not know that she was a drunken woman. How long they have been married I do not know. Hannah Thompson— I live near the prisoner's house. About noon on the 23d, 1 saw the deceased at the door. I went in, and the husband came in soon after. She had . been throwing, things out of the house, and when tbe pri- 1 soner came in, be struck her twice, which made her fall motionless on the floor. Robinson said nothing, and appeared sobgr. Cross- examined I thought the deceased was in liqnor and she might have fallen from the chair without being, struck. Mary Bridgeham— I saw the prisoner with an axe in his 1 hand cm the ilight of the 22( 1. His door. was shut and lie Ifroke it opeii, saying that if any body followed them lie would chop them up. He fastened the doors and windows and saitl bis wife should not go there any more, as he was master of the house. About twelve o'clock on the 23d, th » day after, I saw the deceased go into her husband's house, and in an hour after the husband went in. I went to the door and saw him in a position to strike, but didnot observe him strike anv blow, though I saw tbe deceased fall, as it appeared to me, from a blow. The husband < lesired her to go out when be went in, but she made no answer to him-. When he struck her I told him lo recollect that it was not a beast be was striking. He replied " D— n you, if you don't hold your tongue I'll give you as much." The deceased . was motionless when she fell. I heard some person say " Poor thing! she is ilyicg;" on which the prisoner siiiii " I)— n her, if shn don't die I'll make hef die before night. 1 have hail her in these cues heforo now." She never spoke afterwards. Cross- examined I had seen the deceased in liquor before, and think she had some that morning. The prisoner is a cartwrigbt, and was Often obliged to go from home, and during his absence Tom I l y t b e lived with his wife. Re- examined Do not know that Hythe lodged there. There was only one bed in the house. Robfert SamuioH, being near the prisoner's house on the day in question, saw him squeeze the head of his wife between aehair and the door, but could not say whether he tt- as awafe of it." Woulil lie'inclined to think^ he was MANSION- HOUSE. A L L E G E D A D U L T E R A T I O N OF F L O U R O11 S a t u r d a y , a corn factor was summoned by a baker to appear before the Lord Mayor, to answer for having sold five sacks of some injurious compound os wheaten flour. When the baker applied for the summons, he stated that he believed the stuff he had purchased as household flour, was a mixture of plaster of Paris, beans, and a very small quantity of wheat; and that it was impossible he could sell it to his customers. He had, he added, sent a sample of it to a gentleman at Apothecaries' Hall for analyzation, and found that it was composed of materials which were very unfit for the food of man. The factor, attended by bis Solicitor, appeared to answer the chaTge. When tbe case was called on bv the Lord Mayor, tbe complainant was not in the Justice Room ; and after his Lordship had waited a considerable time, the factor's Solicitor stated, that his client was ready to prove that the article had been purchased as wheaten flour; that the factor was a mere agent in the business; and that the flour had been purchased by sample. T h e L O R D MA Y O R raid, t h a t as t h e c o m p l a i n a n t did not appear he should not proceed in ( lie case. The factor's solicitor appeared anxious, for the sake of the character of his client, to have the case investigated. The LORD MAYOR then, having learned that Air. Clarke, the operator at Apothecaries' Hall, who had analyzed the article in question was in attendance, asked that gentleman what sort of materials he had found it composed of ? Mr. Clarke replied, that he had ascertained that there was no plaster of Paris or bones, as was apprehended by the baker, in the article. He had, however, found that there was very little wheat, and that there was a great deal of beans and other things in it, which, although not destructive to health, were exceedingly stimulating, and unfit for use in bread. He regretted that the most injurious ingredients have frequently been used in making bread. The factor's solicitor urged that his client had sold by sample, and was not responsible 011 that ground, for any defect in the article, and that he was ready to produce the person of whom he bad purchased. He also shewed by the Act, that this complaint could not now be entertained at this period, as the time to which it was by the Act limited, had many days ago expired. The LORD MAYOR, upon reference lo the Act, found that this argument was conclusive, and said that there was no charge against the defendant. Air. Clarke, in the course of his statement to the Lord Mayor, mentioned that adulteration in fijiur is carried to a shameful height. He had been engaged incessantly from the 4th of September till the 28th of February, by the direction of the Lords of the Admiralty, in analvsing 1,4 « 7 sacks of flour, which were lying in warehouses at Hull, and such pernicious stuff he had never seen in the whole course of his experience ( he had been twenty- two years in Apothecaries' Hall). He had taken a sample from each sack, and in some he had found that upwards of a third was plaster of Paris and ground bones, two of the most abominable ingredients, and which tbe slomach neitheruf man nor t « ? ast is capable of digesting. lie had sent samples of this hopeful flour, which had indeed a very trifling portion of fiour'in it, to the Lords of the Admiralty, baked, and in several of its processes, and never was seen anything more frightful. Il was, as a loaf, almost as black as j e t , and to cut it in pieces would require a hatchet. It was of course condemned, and the person who owned it, and who was about to send it to Spain or Portugal, was fined in the penalty of £ 19,000. A baker, who was present during the conversation 011 the subject, said the flour was not intended for use. It was allowed by a recent Act of Parliament that wheat should he taken out of bond, and that flour correspond, ing in quality should be substituted. The owner of the article in question had substituted the flour objected to, which was not intended for use, and therefore it should not be mentioned as an argument likely to tell against the bakers. The LORD MAYOR asked the baker what it was intended should he done with the adulterated flour, if i t wa ® not intended for sale ? The Baker— No doubt it was intended to throw it into ( he sea. Mr. Clarke said he entertained not the slightest doubt but it was intended for sale in Spain or Portugal, but lie was sure lhat'the fate it would now meet with would be that which was just mentioned, and to which alone it ought to be consigned. It was, in fact, a complete poison. The LORD MAYOR observed, that of course such stuff could not be sold as flour in Spain or Portugal, without being > n some degree qualified. Air. Clarke said a mixture of Hour was generally thrown in, but the ground bones and plaster of Paris were extremely deceptions to the eye, although instantly detected by the chemist, as they would immediately effervesce upon the application of vinegar or other acid, and affect the nose most powerfully. T h e I . O R D MAYOR w a s o f o p i n i o n t h a t t h e e x p o s u r e of the abominable system of adulteration would produce much benefit to the public, and thanked Air. Clarke for the very useful information he had communicated. Mr. Clarke said lie had to state to his Lordship what would no doubt surprise him much, and would be of 110 little interest, as his Lordship was a large tea- dealer. He had lately analyzed some souchong lea, and found that there was 25 per cent, of lead ore in it. A few r. igbts since, a gentleman, who, from an early and happy union with the woman of his choice, became the father of a large and amiable family, chiefly females, wandered into the suburbs in the neighbourhood of St. Stepben's- green, lo enjoy the evening's refreshing breeze, and unbend his mind from Ihe cares and toil uf a laborious profession; when meeting with an erring fair one, whose charms might warm a stoic into love, and feeling as the father and protector of female innocence, knowing the sex as nature made them, not as poets and libertines feign them, he was moved, by a natural impulse, to converse with the poor unfortunate, in order, that having learned the history of her wrongs, he might " min'ster to a mind deceased," and induce her to return into the path of virtue, After a fgle- a- tete of an hour, both parted, mutually gratified; but, alas! how fleeting are the joys of this life. Upon the gentlemen's return home, and when about to seek " nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," preparatory to which, it was necessary to disencumber his body of art inexpressible portion of his clothing; he betook liimself to think if he had been to his iron safe previous to his evening Walk, as was his custom, in order lo rid himself of such loose " trash" as might have accumulated in bis pockets during the day; when— Oil 1 perfidy, thy natiie is woman— lis recollected that he had in his ******** pockef, Banknotes, amounting to TWO H U N D R E D A N D E I G H T Y - T H R E E POUNDS sterling, when his philanthropy led him into conversation w. ith. pne of Eve's daughters, the whole, of winch had disappeared ! Having made his case known to the officers of Collegestreet Police- office, Peace- officer Alackey arrested a man named Keardoii, under very strong suspicion, of his being the receiver.; but it is feared it will be difficult, to supply sufficient legal evidence to warrant his conviction. The unfortunate gentleman is considered by some ill- natured persons as undeserving of pity; for it is not long since he lost TWO HTJHDRED - AND S I X T Y odd pounds under similar circumstances, and led into the. " scrape," as he asserts, from motives of pure ptiVanthrq/ y. As the gentleman does not wish his wife to know his misfortune, we are induced to Conceal his name, not wishing to disturb the harmony of Connubial lifei— fluHlihFrcenian's Journal.
