GENTLEMEN, IMPELLED by a sense of gratitude for the remarkable cure I have received hy tbe use of your invaluable Antiscorbutic Drops, 1 forward you the particulars of my case, that others who may be similarly afflicted may know where to apply for relief. For twenty years I had a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my arms, legs, and back of my neck, attended wiih tbe most intolerable itching and smarting-.-!-! tried various remedies, and had the advice of Medical Men in this City, but all to no purpose: the disease increased to such a degree as to destroy iny rest at night, my appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of recovery. Being recommended to give your Anti- scorbutic Drops a trial, I purchased a small bottle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this City, and after taking Five Small Bottles, to my great, astonishment, as well as that of tnv family, the complaint was entirely eradi- cated ; and i am now able to follow my business, which before I was incapable of attending to' It « ill give tne pleasure to answer any . enquiries-^ either personally, or if by letter, post- paid.

Lord ELDON, in presenting petitions from the county of Pembroke and the town ( if Haverfordwest, against the proposed alteration in the Welsh Judi- cature, expressed himself adverse to that measure, as likely to inflict great injury on the inhabitants of the Principality. \ Earl CAV » 3> Oil felt great diftfdence in dissenting in opinion from the Noble and Learned Lord, but he fnusf adhere to the opinion that the local judicature of Wales was a great mischief to the country. DISTRESS OE THE COUNTRY. Numerous petitions were presented, complaining of distress, and praying for a ffirther redaction of tax- ation, particularly that, of the malt. duty. On the presentation of the Kent county petition, Earl STANHOPE said, that sfich was the state of the agricultural interest, that. rents* if paid at all, were paid out. of the capital, and not out of the profits of the farmer. The I< oble Lord stated his conviction thftt a moderate reform in the House of Commons was necessary. The Marquis CAMDEN believed the distress was hot so great, as it had been^ represented, as a proof of which the assessed taxes were better paid this year than the last. The Earl of WiNCHlLSftA sttid he bad witnessed hv hundreds of instances families formerly living in respectability and affluence, hut now compelled to part with their cheerful cottages, and the few acres of land that surrounded them, which they had in- herited from their fathers— a patrimony as dear to them as his mansion and parks to the highest Noble — rffid compelled, after a lengthened struggki with adversity, to drag on a miserable existence, in a state of dependence upon those rates to which they had been the principal contributors. He would say loudly and boldly, in opposition to what had been stated by the Noble Marquis, that the distress which now pressed down the industrious classes of the people Itad never been exceeded. If something were not done to check the progress of pauperism, that class of people, the yeomanry, who stood as a link between the great landowner and the peasant, would v, ecome extinct. That class was the peculiar and proud characteristic of this country, and it would be truly a painful thing to see its degradation. He wished the Noble Duke opposite ( the Duke of Wel- lington), who ifow had a residence in Kent, would pass up the Weald of Kent in the Easter holidays, and judge for hini- elf of the diminution of capital employed on the land, and total want of cultivation of some parls of the land every where, perceptible. He would find that there was at least one- third of the labouring population out of employment. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained to the House the terms on which it was proposed to convert the new Foftr pet* Cent. Annuities to a Three and a Half per Cent. Stock ( see 4th page), and Mated Chat a saving would accrue to the country of £ 778,000, owing to the alteration. To inquiries as to how the dWentients were to be paid oft', the Right Hon. Gent, replied that it would be premature then to disclose his plan, but he could say that the mode intended to be pursued Vould be what became the country to pursue in fairness and justice to the public creditor. Mr. ROIUNSON expressed his opinion that fhe project was quite practicable; and Lord ALTIIOUP MM< I he entirely approved of the principle. His Lord- hip, however, desired to call the attention of ' the Rijjht Hon. dent, to a plan of converting the stock into terminable annuities, allowing the same rate of interest, but giving a bonus as art? inducement. The CHANCEI . I. OR of ( he EXCHEQUER promised to examine into Ihe plan suggested- hy the Noble Lord. — The resolution was then pot and agree d to. The House afterwards went into a Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates ; and after a number of grants had been voted, Sir 11. HERON moved a reduction of £ 900 in the superannuated allowances, being Che amount of pensions granted to the Hon. II. Dundas tfrhl the Hon. W. L. liathurst, ( sons of Earl Bathurst and Viscount Melville,) as retired Commis- sioners of the Navy and Victualling boards, at which they bad only sat four years. He thought no blame should attach to them hut to Ministers, and parti- cularly to two of the Ministers, the young gentlemen's fathers, who had long held most lucrative offices in the government, as their grandfathers had also done. That these Ministers, gorged with public wealth, should condescend to accept such miserable pensions, for which they had given no service, was a matter of great surprise ; as, though the pensions were small irf amount, tbey were monstrous in principle. Mr. Dundas and Mr. liathurst held ( heir places during pleasure, and as they had performed no service to entitle them to ( tensions, they should be dismissed • without any- On w hat principle could such pensions he justified > Was it custom ? He knew of no abuse that could not he defended on the same plea. The acceptance of the pensions was paltry, and granting them was, on the part of ministers, a mockery of the public distress. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the Treasury had, in appointing these pensions, strictly acted on former precedents. Mr. Bathurst, though called a young gentleman, had been for several years at the bar; and Mr. Dundas was also engaged iu a profession; and both bad abandoned their professions on being appointed Commissioners, which gave them a strong claim on government for a retired allowance. Colonel SIBTHORPE said, the Chancellor of fhe Exchequer had stated that there should be no differ- ence between the highest and the lowest, by which, no doubt, he meant the richest and the poorest. He had himself, however, presented a memorial from a veteran of 84 years of age, totally blind for the last four years, who applied for an additional sixpence a day; and was refused, because, as was stated in the answer, he was worn out in the service. These gen- tlemen would never have got their pensions but for their ministerial connections. Mr. HonilousE said it was a very unfortunate circumstance that the parties htdding these offices were sons of cabinet ministers; it was also an un- fortunate circumstance for ministers themselves, as well as for the country ; and he trusted that such appointments would not he defended. Sir GEORGE CI. ERK defended the course Govern- ment had pursued ; as did Mr. PEEL. The House then divided -. for Ihe amendment, 130; against it 121 : majority against ministers 18— In the list s » f the majority on this occasion we observe the names of Sir E. P. I- loyd, Hurt., Robert Price, Esq the Ear! of Ux bridge, Sir R. W. Vaughan, Bart. Sir • l. iWrottesley, Hart. W. W. Whitmore, Esq. and Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart. Sir JAM ES GRAHAM gave notice, that in discussing the Ordnance Estimates he should move the abolition of the office of Lieutenant- Genera! of the Ordnance. i'OS^ SOliiiPT. 1.0yI) ON, Monday flight, March 20, 1830.

We liftve seldom had to record, on an occasion of this kind, such public manifestations of esteem and regard us have been shewn to this respected gentle- man and his amiable lady ( Eleanor, youngest daughter of the late Rev. Croxton Johnson, Rector of Wiltitslow, Cheshire). The ceremony was performed at Burton, in the cotiflty of Chester, by the Rev. Oswald Leyces- ter ( the young lady's uncle), on Tuesday, the 2d inst from which place the happy pair came the same day to the mansion at Adderley, in this county. VVishing to dispense with the attentions of the tenantry rbti that part of the estate, they came in as private a manner n# possible; but on their approaching the confines of the Adderley property, they were greeted withifi. hing of cannon, ringing of bells, and arches were erected and decorated for them to pass under, and perhaps never were a happy couple greeted with such a dis- play of true genuine English feeling as was shewn to them hy the multitude assembled to witness their entrance on the hospitable demesne at Adderley. From that time until the present a continued, round of pleasure and amusements have taken place in the neighbourhood ; and it gives us unfeigned satisfaction to state, that on no Occasion have we ever known the poor to share more than they have done iu the liberal provision made for the occasion by the friends of the House of Adderley. On Thursday, the 11th, a Public Dinner was given at the Raven Inn, iu Adderley, when the larp^ e room over the Riding- house was completely filled with coin pany ; an exquisite band of music attended ; and ample justice, was done to the excellent dinner pro- vided by Mrs. Massey. It would be tedious to enumerate the . speeches, tosfsts, and convivial songs. u The Bride and Bridegroom,'" and every Branch of the Cor. bet Family, were named and loudly cheered, and morning's early blush found many lingering and loath to leave. Previous to the dinner, every poor family in the parish, without exception, iiad received from 7 to 30 pounds of beef and bread, according to their number, besides liberal refreshment and plenty of good ale, which was also given to every labourer, servant man, and boy, and favours were presented to every servant woman. On Friday, the 12th, a Public Dinner Was giv^ Jl at the Elephant and Castle Inn, Child's Ercall, where the tenantry and gentlemen of the neig hbourhood kept up the cause till a late hour. The roaring of cannon, flags flying, and music playing, seemed to have turned this quiet and sequestered village upside down, aud the enthusiasm of Adderley was certainly equalled if not surpassed. Mrs. Thacker justly deserved the praise bestowed upon her for her excellent dinner rife distribution to the poor families, & c. was the same as at, Adderley; and, in addition, Upwards of 150 poor women were regaled with fea by the ladies of Child's Ercall the succeeding day. On Saturday, the 13th, a Public Dinner took place at the Corbet Arms Inn, Market Drayton, when every attempt \ vjys made to eclipse the previous days'plea- sures. Th£ tYjorni'ng was ushered in with ringing of bells, flags and music parading the streets, bonfires, and various old English sports for fhe amusement of the populace ; ahd during llie morning 20') poor fami- lies were served with Tib's, of beef and a shilling loaf each. At three o'clock fhe company sat down to a truly sumptuous dinner, provided by Mrs. Ilocknell, when the spacious assembly room was completely fi'led. The tasteful manner in- which the room was decorated was much admired, and Mr. '. Hock ire 11 opened his best bins of wine on fhe occasion, the powers of which- were rests led for a. long lime, but many at' length fell prostrate to the Jolly God. — Mr. Richards, the celebrated comic singer, of Drayton, was present and in excellent voice, and41 llevjamin tiowHijctn" w a « , .. per haps, never sung by hiify in', so striking a manner as on this occasion. The several President*, Vincent Roger Corbet, John Bellyse, John Kilvert, and Chatles Warren, Esquires, and the Vice- Presidents, were respectively compli- mented and cheered for their condescension, affability, and attention. THE BALL AT AOOKRLEY HALL, Thursday, March 25tf » .— In addition to the company at dinner at Adder- ley this day, namely — Sir Andrew and Lady Corbet, Mr. Vincent Coi bt t, Mr. Croxtoii and Miss Johnson, Mr aud Mrs George Johnson, M r. Tay lor ( of Lvmme), the Rev. Mr. and Mrs Mascie Domville Taylor, the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. William Ctnrie, Mr. and Mrs Creswell Pigot, and Mr. John Belljse, invitations had been sent to all the principal tenants ou the estate to tea aud a ball, aud soon after six o'clock the spacious drawing- room was filled with nearly two hundred ladies and gentlemen. The pleasure that beamed in the countenance of the wot thy Baronet, Sir Andrew Corbet, and his respected Lady, when they introduced " the Bride and Bridegroom?," was quickly felt by the whole company ; aud the truly graceful manner iu which the happy couple made their compliments won the heart of every one present. The music im- mediately stiOck up u Haste lo the Wedding," and the mazy dance was enjoyed till eleven o'clock, when the company sat down loan elegant supper laid in the dining- room. The votaries of Terpsichore, however, soon returned back lo the ball- room, btit many gentle- men remained who pteferred indulging in the more substantial pleasures of the bottle. Time was not thought of, and it was only on the severstl parties returning home from this scene of festivity and delight, that they were convinced, by the ploughman whistling at his work, that they had trespassed largely on the succeeding day. On Saturday the 27th, Mrs. Corbet received all the poor women iu the parish of Adderley, whom she had previously invited to tea. Her condescension w ill be remembered by every one.— Each poor woman; on her return home, received a present of tea, sugar, and bread. At Shawhury, Moreton Corbet, Prees, Audlein, Sec we have heard ( hut not yet received the particulars) of sheep being roasted, and of balls and other amuse- ments having taken place. The following lines were composed by Mr. J W. Evans, ou the occasion of the above- mentioned Ball at Adderley. OX THE BALL AT ADDERLEY. " There was a sound of revelry"*— a sight Of youth and beauty in their hour of pride; And many a breast with rapture thrii I'd ... and bright Flash* d" many an eye, as, like a buoyant tido Tinged by the hues of Eveu's Iris- light, " The throng along the measured mazes glide: < ' And the voluptuous music's gentle swell Stole o'er the. spirit like the tabled Syren's spell. And there, amid the assembled multitude. Where Pleasure only votaries might find, Forgotten then its brow of snow and mood Ascetic, Age the gala's joyaun. ee jrtin'd; Nor then aloof the great or wealthy stood ; Fastidious Pride distinction vain resign'd ; * All mingled there in one promiscuous train. Nor lip did speak nor eye did look aught of disdain. FIRES.— We regret to state that, on Saturday last, in consequence of some fire having been incautiously communicated to a quantity of loose straw, by placing thereto a pot from off the fire with the soot thereon ignited, the roof of a cottage at Eaton Con- stantine was set on fire, and the dwelling and furni- ture nearly destroyed; two of the inmates were severely burnt in endeavouring to put out the flames.— On Monday afternoon last, a fire broke out at Stepaside Inn, in fhe village of Onibury, in this county, by which part of the dwelling- house, with the outbuildings; ricks of grain and hay, & c. were destro\ ed.

The present duty per ton is £ 1. r> s on ore, and £- 2 on lead; and the petition, which is expected to be signed by 3000 individuals, prays that the former amount may be increased to three anil the fatter to fotir pounds per ton, which will be about equivalent to the duty imposed upon the importation of other foreign metals.— We arc sorry to hear that the mining business continues in such a very depressed state, that the contemplated reduction of two hundred men in the worlds belonging to the Mold Mining Company, was carried into effect last weelc. The consequence must be a great increase of the burdens of the several parishes in that neighbour- hood. The proprietors of the Mines are unable to make any sal£ s at present, except at nn enormous loss, which is attributed by many of them to over- pro- duction. Their argument herein may be correct, as far as the foreign demand is concerned ; fot the Americans, who were formerly almost our best cus- tomers, have If arned how to appreciate the system of free Irade, and have excluded us from their market; while we are holding out every encouragement to foreigners to supplant our own honest workmen. The free- trade system has indeed worked this country into a most anomalous condition. MARKET HERALD. Welsh Judicature. THE HIGH SHERIFF and GRAND JURY of the COUNTY of MONTGOMERY, at the last GREAT SESSION, hohlen at POOL, on the 25th of March, agreed to the following Petition : To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled: The Humble Petition of the High Sheriff and Grand Jure, at the Spring Great Session for the County of Montgomery, 1830; SHJCTEDJ), That your Petitioners are unanimously of Opinion that very great Inconvenience will result from the proposed Measure of dividing or combining the Welsh Comities ; and therefore most urgently pray that such a Measure may not receive the Sunction of your Honourable House. That your Petitioners would receive with Gratitude any Advantage which mav arise to the Principality from u different Mode of appoin ing the Judges ; but as the inhabitants of Ihe Principality now possess considerable Advantages under the present Jurisdic- tion, tbey humbly pray that nn Measure may receive tlie Sanction of your Honourable House which would deprive them nfihose Advantages. And your Petitioners will ever pray, & c. A similar Petition was resolved to be presented to fhe House of Lords. ^ alts bp auction. THIS DAY.

Sir George Hill is appointed Governor of St. Vincents; Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald is to be his suc- cessor in the office of Vice Treasurer of Ireland. In the House of Lords, this evening, Lord KINO brought forward a scries of resolutions, the tenor of which was to declare that foreign corn ought to be allowed to be imported into this country, at all times, without restriction !— The insanity of such a propo- sition was in itself apparent; and the resolutions and 1heir object being decidedly opposed by the Duke of WELLINGTON, the resolutions were negatived with- out a'division. In the House of Commons this evening, Mr. PER CEVAL brought forward the Ordnance Estimates.— Sir JASIES GRAHAM then rose, and made his promised motion* the object of which was to abolish the office of the Lieutenant General of the Ordnance. The motion of Sir James was supported by Mr. Liddel, Lord Howick, Lord Alfhorp, Mr. Maberly, Lord Morpeth, and Mr. C. Grant.—' The motion was apposed by Mr. Perceval, Gen. Gordon, the Earl of Ux bridge, Sir H. Hardiuge, Lord Edward Somerset, Mr. Peel, Col. Wood, and Mr. C. W. W. Wynn. The flouse then divided, and the motion of Siti James Graham was lost by a majority of 200 to 124.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,— It is oftentimes both publicly as well ; privately asked, Why the river Severn of late years is less abundant iti its production of fish than in former times? and many probable and reasonable causes have been assigned for the continual defect. There is, however, a cause still to be added to the number, and which> partaking of a two- fold character, and constituting a moral as well as a political offence, is the most injurious and malignant; and the more deserving immediate check and castigation as a caution and example. 1 allude to those greater and smaller parties who make a practice or employment of wandering along the banks of the river, and from place to place, poisoning the fisli on the sabbath day. On the morning of the 28th inst. the river round the Quarry was made the theatre of this mmoral and noxious art, and so early as seven o'clock fhe ingredients had operated and the fish were pretty generally affected ; this continued till about eleven, by which time many of the larger ones were successively taken out. Now, Sir, as fish- pools and brooks, as well as rivers, are equally subject to be, and doubtless are, visited in a similar manner, and law and order are thus openly and wantonly violated and abused, 1 have thought it expedient briefly to address you on this subject, not having been early enough on the spot in the present instance to make an immediate example of the actors in this serious and wilful offence; which, I believe, the Magistrates will be found equally anxious to arrest whensoever the perpetrators or abettors shall be brought before them; and I trust that a notice to this effect, and of a meeting and collection for the purpose of restoring the fishery, & c. will shortly appear, so thai specific means may be applied. 1 remain, Sir, Your very obedient servant, A SALOPIAN.

How did affection's impulse strongly fall Upon the heart for you, benignant pair! How many an ardent aspiration rose, That long-, long ye might live unconscious of Earth's woes!

But long averted be that time, when those Who lov'd them living must their loss lament! Long- be it ere harsh fate shall interpose, And they from all their dearest ties be rent! But when indeed Existence' scene shall close, And tbey restore the breath their Maker lent, May all their virtues be their Offspring's then ! And RICHARD in his heir shall be himself again.

We have been requested, from two highly respect- able quarters, to caution gentlemen that have timber to sell as to " the persons into whose hands they intrust it: certain individuals have been carrying on a swind- ling anil most ruinous traffic as regards the sellers, in some counties, by which gentlemen have parted with considerable falls of timber, receiving in return bills and acceptances that, when the day of payment arrived, were found not to be worth one i'. U'thini?.— We insert, this caution the more readily,- because we have been informed that some of the parties have recently made their appearance within the range of our circulation. The Licensed Victuallers in different parts of the country are holding meetings relative to the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to throw open the trade in Leer, which they consid r will be very prejudicial to their interests; and deputations from several towns, for the purpose of endeavouring if possible lo avert the ei- il consequences which they apprehend from the measure, are already in London. At Stourbridge great horse fair, on Wednesday, there was an exceedingly large show of horses, but few of that superior first, rate class which this mart has been accustomed to exhibit. Such, however, of this description as were offered, were eagerly bought it)) for the London market, and brought prices equal to fhe best times. In inferior animals scarcely any business was done, and the transactions of the fair were altogether very inconsiderable.

" Oh dear, live," replied the son, " you did — I recollect now."— Smart's boxes were theii'searched, but nothing found except what belonged In himself In Jenkins's hox some, letters were found directed to Madilon. Smart was much confused, lilled up his hands, and said, " Good God — ibis will account for Ibe robbery ; this must have been ihe mall ; I had no iden aiiv one was Sleeping- Willi Jenkins; I would give £ 500 to have mm transported." Jenkins Came to Doncaster on the Tuesday before tbe races, and 011 the Thursday or Fri- day after his arrival, Smart applied to w'iiness to permit Jenkins to sleep alone, as he was ill, and it ivould be unpleasant for any one to sleep with him. Witness dined at the rooms every day during the races. On the day before the robbery, Smart asked witness If lie were going 10 the races ;" he replied no! as lie only intended to walk round life h'oilses; Smart silid he bail sent a brace of birds to w itness's lodgings lo lie dressed, as he was determined he should have a comfortable dinner, lie had hint so iliueli fiiligue dur- ing the week ; witness was much surprised, and told linn he would not go; Smart said lie had belter go, and lie down afterwards; witness, however, Would' not go.

[ Here tlie witness claimed the protection of the Court, as he might, bv answering the questions put lo him, make himself liable to a penally.] t The ordinary purpose of persons going to lhat house was not gambling. The house was kept open some times early, and some limes late; usually shut by one The door is always closed by lhat time, anil no kind of play is permitted except billiards— neiiber hazard, dice, cards, E.

He lived w ith Frederick Oldlield, who kept a subscription or gambling house, in St. James's. Attended on Ihe gambling table, anil not on Ibe horses. There was never a charge against liini of inking 11 £ 20 hole. One was missing about tw elve veins ago from llie table j it was not found 111 tbe sleeve of his great coat; nor did Olilfield threaten to turn him away. Block lives in Walworlb- road, aud is married to a luilv who has properly of her own. Il would be belter to ask him- self inspecting his aflairs. Knows a person named Leech, aud remembers iluit lie ( ihe witness) was rob- bed. That robbery was effected by offering almonds anil raisins to him for sale, and was called the sugar plum robbery. He did not receive one sixpence of the winnings that day. Was not indicted bv Kend, nor was there a warrant 0111 against him ; never sent Qnin to oei the mailer settled, as no money was lost in bis bouse; was never charged with beinsr an accomplice iu fleecing Mr. Read of Ills money.

A cheque was found iu Smart's possession for £ 50, which I1111I been taken out of Captain Brown's pocket; Sunlit said lie had given change for il iu ihe room, and he believed him ; he would have as soon suspected his own son as Smart, for whom he had as much respect as he bad for any man in England, lie should not tell from what the profits of the room arose. Each player receives u ball from the proprietor of the room, but no more. Never saw a fate hall. Does not know w hat dispatches are. Supposes they mean false dice. Never knew- a fate ball used.

Never heard that the man who made the charge was obliged to leave this country. Had seen Jenkins about Smart's house in London, as a waiter. After the robbery, Jenkins seemed very much uncon- cerned about it. Did not make any charge, against him until Ma- ddon's things were found nl his lodgings. On witness's return to the room, he throttled Jenkins, and should have choaked him. if he had not been taken off. He charged him and Maddon with having committed the robbery. Jenkins did not say " if you blame Maddon, follow him, and you wlfl get your money.*' John Watson ( examined by Mr. Serjeant J ON Est was em- ployed by Mr. Goodred, at Doncaster, during the races. On Thursday, the 17th Sept. Mr. Goodred, prior to going to the races, gave him orders to remain in the bar and take care of the chest; Jenkins was in the bar at the time; Goodred went away, and remained in it half an hour; after Jenkins left the bar witness bolted the door., and went up stairs, lie came down, unbolted the door, ahd went into the front room. Mr. Smart came, went into the room, and got his breakfast. Soon after, he saw Smart, standing outside, and . Jenkins inside the bar, conversing together. Mt. Darking came into the room, and wrote a letter on the farthest table ; no one else came in. They could not have done so without his seeing them; half an hour after Smart had left the. house, Jenkins put his boots on in a great luirry and went out. Smart came to the room about a quarter ot an hour after Mr. Goodred had gone There was no one in the room during the afternoon, except Mr. Dark ing, Smart, Jenkins, Thibald ( the waiter), Taylor ( Mr. Goodied'sservant), and the woman who swept the rooms. Witness saw a constable named Pike, and two women come into the room ; but they did not go near the bar. The night before the robbery, Jenkins gave witness two or three glasses of gin. He never gave him any thing before, nor would he trust him to fetch a glass of beer out of tlie cellar. Cross- examined by Mi'. STARKIE Mr. Darking is a gentleman who was always at. the room, and witness knew him well. W hen examined before the Mayor, he Said " a gentle- man" came in. He did not kao. w his name then, and described him as " a dark looking gentleman," but did not say he at- tended at the rooms. During the time he was in the room, witness was in the bar washing the glasses, and. he said so be- fore the Mayor; will swear that lie was never left alone; and will swear that Morgan was not there, uor Richard Smith. By Mr. COTTINGH AM-- This is the first time that he ever mentioned the name of Darking. By the JUDGE.— Had known the person of Darking two • years. He saw Goodred put some parcels into the box, just before he went to the races; and saw him try the lid of the box } told the Mayor he saw him put some parcels into the box that day. Frederick Fisher, Esq. town. clevk of 1) 6ncaster, stated that there were no depositions taken before the Mayor on the 8th of Sept.; minutes of the examination were taken, which Mr. F. handed to the Judge, for his Lordship's perusal. Martha Loftus ( by Mr. Dodd) stated that she lived in Frenchgate, Doncaster; and had the Charge of the betting- rooms at tlie ra'ces. On the cup day last year, the company left the house between one and two for the races. During the afternoon, Mr.' Smjrrt came and took tea; she saw Jenkins clean his boots in a back place, and put them on in the bar; after she had washed up the tea things, she saw Jenkins pop his head up near where the box was, and she heard tne glasses jingle. . Cross- examined by Mr. ALDKRSON.— Saw Mr. Darking in the room writing a letter; he is a groom porter to Mr. Goodred, and was in the room when she heard flip clawps iimrlf Ttivlnr of peculiar hardship ; for he had been held up," by, the public prints, as a man of ihe most- infamous charade^ and capable of joining in ( he commission of any crime, lie declared before God that he was inuuCetlh aud begged the jury to dismiss from their minds any idle rumours they might have heaiil, and dis" passiona! cly- weigb the evidence which w< mld l e adduced in his' favour, w ith that sworn against him.- He left his case with confidence in their haitds, as he was " sure they would not Consign a fellow. erCatufc to banishment for life from his friends, bis native country; and front' every thing dear to him. on the evidence they hud heard against him. • 7 SMART put in a long wriffeVdefence. 1 lie said tiiat he had been charged because Jenkins was his servant- 5 and because bis son had on him £' 200.

Al half- past eight o'clock, his Lordship began Iri sum up the evidence, which Occupied Mm Until rt quarter past eleven, when the jury retired. After be- ing- absent half an bour, they returned into Couri^ and pronounced both the prisoners Not Guilty. SMART was then arraigned on an. indictment, whicft charged him with being an accessory before the fa6t. No evidence being offered on the pari of the prosecu- tion, a verdict of Not Guilty was recorded. The trial occupied the attention of ihe court four tee li hours and three quarters; during the wholeof. whielj time, every part of the court was crowded to excess. was cleaning the lamps at the time; and Thibald and Watson brushing the tables. By Mr. Dout>'.— Darking does not live in Doncaster; she saw no oue in the bar but Jenkins'. By the JUDGE.— The watchman asked Jenkins on Friday, if lie thought they coitld get the money again; JeukinS replied, if they overtook Maddon perhaps they might. She never men- tioned this when examined . before tbe Mayor the following day. James Hopewell, journeyman ironmonger, took the loCk ofF the box to make a key for it. Having made one, he put the lock on On Monday in the race week, and gave Jenkins the kev, who remarked that he thought the wooden box would be safer than the iron one. Thomas Wood, locksmith, at Sheffield, stated that in Sep- tember last, a man brought a key to have one made like it.— It was either on the Kith or 17th ot Sept. It was entered in his book as on the 17th. Tymms having shown" him th § key of the box, witness said that the one he made was very similar as to size and pattern. The person called about half- past ten, and the key was ready by twelve o'clock. At half past one the peison called for the key aud got it. He put it down- to Mr. Butcher, because the man who ordered it. bad a butcher's frock coat on -— He could not recollect whether it was on the Wednesday or Thursday. Cross examined by Mr. ALDKRSON.— Charged 7d. for the key. He was a slender man, about 5 feet 4 inches high—- Smart was not the man, and he thought Jenkins was not Mr. Bl ck never pressed him to swear to Jenkins. He saw so very little of the man that he really could hot give an opinion about him. James Wood, son of the last witness, saw the man come for the key, and get some more filed off the step of it. He was more like Jenkins than any other person he had, seen." The entries are first made' on a slate, and copied into a book on Saturdays. By the JUDGE — Examined the lock of Mr. Goodred's box, and was of opinion that it had not been opened by a picklock! Henry Hoyland lodged at Martha Eyre's during Doncaster r. ices. Jenkins and Smart's son took lodgings there on Thursday before the races. Jenkins said he wanted two beds for a gentleman and his son. He said he had got. lodgings for himself. About an hour afterwards, Smart and his son came and approved of tire lodgings. Ou the following Saturday JJenkins came with another peison, and they slept in fhe same room. He had a carpet bag and hat box with him. They slept there until Wednesday night following, on which day a man packed it up. It was not called for until Friday night, when the man was told that Tymms had it. Mr. Smart and his son slept there during the whole of the time, on the first flocrr and Jenkins and the other man on the second floor. Smart paid for the lodgings. Never saw him speak to the man that slept with Jenkins. On the day of the robbery, he saw Jen- kins, his bed- dellow, and auother man together, oil the race- course. On Saturday, when Smart paid for the lodgings, he said he did not know of Jenkins having had any one to sleep with him. He afterwards said that his mau ( Jenkins) met the man in the street, and gave him half of his bed. Smart, told witness that if he were called up, he was to say as little as he could, for it would be a bad job if lie were sent to York Castle perhaps get transported, or lie might be hung. Smart said the man's name was Maddon. Handbills were then out about Maddon. Cross examined by Mr, ALDRRSON..— Saw Jenkins get up every day during the races, between 10 and 11 o'clock. In 1821 he was convicted of buying an umbrella which proved to have been stolen, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Martha Eyre corroborated Hoy- land's statemem respecting his conversation about Maddon on'the Saturday. When before the magistrates on iVlondav she said nothing about the strange man; the reason was because it had escaped her memory. Maddon one morning bVuslied Mr. Smart's coat. Thomas Tymms, police officer, Doncaster, stated that about 4 o'clock on tbe afternoon of tbe I7th Sept. lie heurd of the robbery, and was sent tor to the letting- room between 4 and o'clock the next morning to take charge of Jenkins, when Mr. Goodred yave him some letters, which bad been found at Jenkins' lodgings; Goodred said " Good God, Jenkins,- tell me where Maddo'n is, or where the money may be found.'* Jen- kins said that he had no doubt if Maddon" was overtaken the money would be got. Mr. Goodred said he had market! some of the notes. Apprehended Smalt ill London ou Saturday, the 7th of Nov. and set off for Doueaster the ifext day. Witness left a warrant wilb Ruthven to search Smart's house, ljlaek lias been in Court to- day. Witness frequently saw- Darking at the betting- rooms, and had seen hiin and Gootbed together. 1/ r. Joseph Lockwood, jun. of Doneiis- ter, saw Smart on Thursday, the 10th of September, about 5 in the afternoon ; he sho'ik bands with him, and told Smart that, lie bait . t'l- t's worth of silver, and Smart said lie should be verv much obliged to him for it; witness fetched the silver,' and Smart desired Goodred to give witness sovereigns for it.; Goodred said Smart was to pay it himself. Smart afterwards told witness that be bad brought no more money from town than would pay his expenses to Doneaster aod back again. Cross- examined by M-. A !.!>:. RsON. -. Witness is no game- ster, he never played in his lite, has seen gentlemen play at Hazard, and at un, deux, cinqtie. Smart endeavoured to get Goodred to pay, and told witness that both Goodred and Bliu- k were poor. In I82 « , witness wanted nearly £ 10110 of Old Mother II. for building the betting- rooms, aud Mr. Sinart put him into tbe way of getting the whole of it. Mrs. Sarah Chirn stated that she kept the Waggon and Horses Inn, at Birmingham. On the Monday before Doneaster races, she and Mr. Miiddon were taking breakfast, when Mr. Smart came in, and said " Good morning, Mr. Miuldon ;" and Maddon slid, " Good morning, Mr. Smart, have yon emtio to take breakfast 1" " No," replied Smart, " 1 ant going- to breakfast at the Albion." They then retired into li private, room for about a quarter of au hour. Maddon had a carpet bag and a leather hat box with hiin. On being shewn the luggage found at Jenkins's lodgings, witness reeog- nized it as Maddon's. The case fur Ihe prosecution having been gone through, the prisoners were called on foi-' lheir defence, when JENKINS read a written paper. He said he could with triilli assert, that he bait no knowledge of Ihe robbery. Unfortunately for him, lie was engaged lo attend the helling room's ill Doncasler during" tl| e last races, where be worked night and day for those who, by this prosecution, souolit lo ruin him. They hail deprived him nf ibe means of defence, oi lie could have proved, that lie bad at all limes borue a good character from bis youth ; anil that, by his sobriety, ilnlnslry, and attention, assisted his aged parents, w ho now were plunged into the greatest misery. His case was one DEVON ASSIZES.— George Cndmore and S a tali Dunn were indicted for the wilful murder of Gran' Cudmore ( wife of the former), by administering arsenic to her. It was proved in evidence that the male prisoner had given her arsenic in a basin of teaj and subsequently mixed a portion of the same poison with the medicine sent, iter by fhe parish, surgeon.- The woman was acquitted; the man was found guilty, and was executed on Thursday. It appeared that the guilty wretch put his wife out of existence that he might marry the woman charged as his accomplice.— Thomas Willey was indicted for the murder of Thomas Crapp, whose body, in a very wounded state, was found in the river Exe. An oh-' jection to the indictment was taken b* Mr. Praed,- the prisoner's counsel, on which,, after much legal argument, the prisoner was acquitted— U(- Was* however, detained on another indictment for tin' same, murder, the venue, of which is laid in the county of the city of fccftdr.— William Duvhod alias Maher ( one of Robinson's gang'-) pleaded guillv to a charge of returning from transportation before; the expiration of the term to which he was sentenced at Bristol . Sessions about 6 years ago— Death re- corded. There was another indictment against the prisoner for a felony.— James and Margaret Jones were convicted of uttering counterfeit coin, and were sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment.— Two women, named I. exntore, were convicted of bullock stealing, and death was recorded agrinsttliem. One of them had assumed male attire, and went by the name of John Hill ; when they were committed tit prison, it was found necessary., to lie- equip her in masculine habiliments, to enable fhe witnesses to identify her. . SIISSF.- X.— John JJoldcn, clerk in the Brighton post- otfiee, was convicted of stealing a letter contain- ing a £ 10 note.— Death recorded. NOTTINGHAM.— An action was brought by Mr. Webster, a surgco'n, residirtg in the vicinity i f Sheffield, against Messrs. Nelson, the coach- pro- prietors, to recover compensation iu damages for in juries sustained through the negligence of a coach- man On the evening when this accident occurred, the plaintiff was an outside passenger by the Courier coach fo London, and in passing through the turn- pike, the horses being driven out of fhe right line, the coach struck against one of the posts, and tin" plaintiff was shaken off bv the violence ttf the motion. He was very severely injured, and for a time his life was despaired of; and even at this time his perfect recovery was hopeless. It was proved by one wit- ness, that the guard. of the coach had stated that one of the horses was such a brute fliat a Hercules could not hold him, and bv that witness and another, that the coachman was, in their opinion, intoxicated.— The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 500.— At these Assiies, a farmer brought an action' against a cheifi'ist residing at Mansfield. In Novem- ber last, the plaintiff purchased some ointment of the defendant, with which he had his sheep, 48 in number, dressed ti'v the shepherd. The ointment, however, instead of mollifying the skin, had the' effect, of cauterising it, and in some of the poor animal-, separated not only the skin, but the FLC'sfr from the hones. Upon having the ointment analyzed, a qii- in fity of arsenic was found in it, to which this effect was attributed. Nearly one half fhe sheep died. The Jury returned a verdict fof the plaintiff', damages £ 35. STAFFORD ASSIZES.— The five poachers charged with maliciously beating and wounding the game keepers of J. H. II. Foley, Esq. M.

SHROPSHIRE LENT ASSIZE— March 24- It must lie owing to domestic grievance and private sorrows that the public mind of England is « t this moment so little excited by what is passing in France and some of the other continental states. It is true that We haVe sufficient scenes of agitation at hmiie. It is also true that when our own peace is endangered— when we are struggling with difficulties which threaten to overwhelm ds'- wlicn the cry of despair. sMiutl. s front our neighbour's hearth, und the poor pass by in rags supplicating that relief which it is not in our power to bestow— under these circum- stances it is not reasonable to expect that w e should either have the leisure or the taste lo pay any marked attention to foreign politics. Hilt these politics are not. the less interesting merely because our minds are absorbed by our own cares. The slate of France and the Netherlands is at this instnht one of extraordinary danger. New feel- ings appear to have sprung up, of old ones have ripened into open hostility; for in both countries, the royal prerogatives in the one, aud the royal feudalism in tbe other, are challenged and assailed. The Belgic subjects of the Prince of Orange evince a strong inclination to absolve themselves from tbeir nllcgiancc, und the people of France are dissatisfied not duly with the Ministers of the King but the policy which his Majesty has resolved to pursue. When Flanders at the peace was ceded' to Holland the people paid less taxes in the ceded than in t^ e old provinces. A comparatively untaxed community was united to a heavily taxed one, and tbe burthens of both were equalized. Besides this, a Roman Catholic population, attached to the institutions of France, was joined to a Protestant population, whose feelings were widely different from those cherished in the ceded district. Religions prejudices and increased fixation soon I'ciidered the Flemish dissa'tWieil1 with tbe transfer, and hence has arisen those interruptions in the Assembly of fhe States General, and { lie openly expressed desire of the frontier population to dissolve the present connection and be re- united to France. Sp long as the present pacific aspect of affairs con- tinues, no serious trouble is hkejy to spring' from these refractory Flemings; but should any commo- tion fake place in France their revolt' is as certain as the return of summer and winter. The seeds'of this revolt, We say, are sown, and it only requires a congenial atmosphere and a gentle bi'ceie frurn I he south to bring it to strength and maturity. Anil unless we much mistake the slate of parlies in France, and the elements of opposition which seem to animate and embolden tbe people of that country to some grand attempt, or some combined act of resist- ance for some well- defined object, tbe opportunity which the Belgians long for will arrive sooner than they could have expected. Charles the Tenth is in the position of an obstinate man w ho has gone too far. He is the Victim of hereditary perversity, tor he neither can' retreat without disgrace nor advance without danger. And yet he is so unhappily situated that it would be equally ruinous to stand still. His private advisers are evidently his Worst enemies, and we fear he is too much infatuated to be persuaded of his real position by those who could advise him better, Had lie been unfettered— had he been left to his own calm judgment— had not something visionary been constantly floating before his eyes, he would have instantly perceived that the course he had to pursue was plain, and direct, and straight before him. But let us reconnoitre his position. He acted imprudently in attempting to govern Francc by Prince Polignac as England is governed by the Duke of Wellington. He forgot the comparntiv strength of the aristocracy of the two kingdoms, and neglected to put, in the estimate Ihe old republican feeling, the old Boonaparteaii feeling, the equality of rank, Ihe repealed law of primogeniture, the hatred of the Jesuits, and the dreaded and execrated ascendancy of the church of Rome. All these combinations of persons, laws, and sympathies were against absolutism, and consequently opposed to tbe principles of a statesman who had made the Duke of Wellington his model. He should have considered that what serves to consolidate arbitrary power in this country does not exist in France. He has 110 great landowners— no thousands of capitalists with establishments built of bricks, and brass, and iron— 110 thousands of com- panies owning rail- roads, canals, reservoirs, and miles of gas ami water pipes under the earth— Charles had little or nothing of this ; and before he began Welling- tnnisiug he shuuld have considered what it is that unites a rich and corrupt people to any Government — even to a bad Government— for the sake of tran- quillity. This was his grand error. France had begun to nppreciate free institutions and the value uf a free press. All the affluent, ail the influential, all the respectable of the liberal and Protestant party were opposed to, new restraints, and naturally enough op- posed to Poliguac, simply because they could not trust him. He should, as a wise monarch, whose family have had some experience lately, particularly when 011 tbeir English tour, have deferred to these feelings among his subjects, and Polignac should have been the last man t'j force upon tlieni. If he could not comprehend the source of these misgivings he • hould have sought better instructors; and, as lie wished to imitate English proceedings, lie might have consulted his royal cousin of Windsor. The question was an exceeding plain one. " What ought lie to do in case the chambers were opposed lo bis Minister:" The answer of George fhe Fourth would have been, " Dismiss the Minister forthwith— surely another equally accomplished and equally faithful may be t'ouud in France. 1' This, we venture to say, would have been the ad- vice of a constitutional King. If a majority in Parlia- ment solemnly declare that they have no confidence in the servants of ihe King's choice, the King would be bnunil to dismiss those servants. Or, if he thought that such a declaration was merely factious, he might dissolve the Parliament, and appeal to the constituency of the country. This dernier appeal would decide the case finally and for ever. If the electors should return the same men, or nien equally hosiile tb I he Administration, no constitutional Monarch could for a single moment liesjtatc as lo what he ought to do. The formation of a new Ministry would follow as a matter of course. But Charles the Tenth has losl sight of Ihis princi- ple iu the constitutional system, and has mixed up his own private, irritated, aud petulant feeling's With his public duties. His reply- to the deputies was lhat of a furious scold. It was arrogant and intemperate He considered his dignity offended in the jicrsoil of his principal servant. He has consequently come into collision wilh the deputies. He has imprudently and unnecessarily invoked their resentment, without either advancing his own dignity, promoting tbe interests of his kingdom, or extorting from the repre- sentatives any professions of regret or humiliation. They are calm, proud, strong', dignified, serious, and resolved in their opposiiion ; and so conscious is his Majesty of this, now that the fever is over, that he has no{ the fortitude to dissolve them. The Govern- ment of France, therefore, is like a stranded ship— without the functions of life or locomotion. The Ministers labour unihr the stigma of not having the confidence of the nation. They may cling to their places, but they have 110 moral power. They may advise the King to consent or not consent to this or that act of foreign policy— they may work like sub- alterns in the affairs of the Duke of Wellington, and assist him iu placing Leopold 011 Ihe throne of Greece. But in France they are ntmenli irs. They are an inanimate mass— a body with a bead perhaps, but w ithout heart, or hands, or feet. They can do n ithing either for themselves, the King, or for France, without incurring a terrible responsibility. This dilemma into which the French Monarch has heedlessly plunged himself will lead to serious conse- quenccs. ll is true we perceive no indications of this in the thermometer of the rentes— but wait a lillle. The largest portion of these rentes is in the bauds of the liberal party. Conscious strength restrains fear. There can be no panic because France is united ngainst the King 011 this question— but the rentes will fall nevertheless, and lhat probably before the lapse of many days.— Morning Journal of H'ednesday.

[ BEFORE MR. BARON BOLLAND.] JOHN DAINTY, SESHS1A ORE, and WII. l. IAM FERItlDAY, were indicted for having unlawfully conspired together to charge one Samuel Pigg with having committed a robbery at tbe Old Park, for tbe purpose of obtaining the reward offered bv J Messrs. Botfield ( whose premises bad b? eu robbed), aud lo prevent the said Samuel Pigg from giving evidence against Richard Ore and William Deakin, who at that time were committed lo gaol 011 a charge of felony. This case, which in its detail was of a complicated nature, occupied the attention of the Court several hours, and arose out of the following circumstances: Richard Ore and William Deakin having been com- mitted to gaol on a charge of stealing poultry at Dothill Park ( of which offence they were convicted at this Assizes), John Dainty, who appears lo have been a confederate in their crimes bv receiving the oods stolen, together with Semima Ore, w ho is the wife of tbe said Richard Ore, endeavoured to pev- uade Catherine Archer and Elizabeth Deakin ( who were now produced as witnesses aud deposed lo fhe ict) to come forward and swear falsely that Samuel Pigg was the person w ho broke into aud robbed the warehouse of Messrs. Botfield, at Old Park: in this, however, they failed ; and in consequence they went themselves before the Magistrates at Wellington nd stated, that Pigg had committed tbe offence Urged: the Magistrates, however, knowing that Pigg was a witness against Richard Ore and Deakin were perfectly satisfied, from the statement made by the prisoners, that there was 110 ground for barging Pigg with such nn offence, aud that the old object of tbe prisoners was lo place such a stain upon Pigg's character as should prevent him giving testimony, or cause bis character 10 appear such as that his testimony would not be believed: they, therefore, refused to take their evidence against Pigg, and eventually committed them on Ibe present charge; aud it was now distinctly proved by Catherine Archer and Elizabeth Deakin, that the reason assigned by the prisoners, John Dainty d Seminia Ore, why they wished them to swear against Pigg was, that he might not be able to come as evidence against Richard Ore & William Deakin. — The case was very satisfactorily proved against John Dainty and Senlhna Ore, and they were found guilty: tbe evidence against Ferriday was not of a conclusive character, and he was acquitted.— John Dainty was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 year, and Seinilria Ore to be imprisoned 9 mouths.— As iu this prosecution Samuel Pigg, tbe prosecutor, could not be allowed his expenses, tbe Judge directed that he should be paid £ 5, iu consideration of his having come fearlessly forward as an eviden. ee against Ore aud Deakin convicted of poullry stealing, and given testimony that went towards making a breach iu a formidable gang residcnt'in the vicinity of Welling- ton, of whom several were convicted at this Assizes. [ BEFORE MR. JUSTICE LITTLEDALE.] On Wednesday morning ( orders having been given that no females' should be admitted), ANDREW HAYCOCK, charged with committing an unnatural offence at Wrockwardine in December last, was acquitted. THOMAS PRICE, charged with assaulting Mary Taylor, of the parish of Kymierley, on the 4th of November, 1S29, with intent to commit a felony. There was 110 bill against him for the capital offence, and he was tried for the assault, and the jury re- turned a verdict of Not Guilty. BENJAMIN ROBINSON, aged 20, a nail- factor, was indicted for obtaining certain sums of money, by means of two false promissory notes, from Messrs. Biddle & Co. of Shiffnal, bankers. Mr. Whatcley addressed the jury for the prosecu- tion, and said he hoped if there were any gentlemen in the box who were present when the prisoner was arraigned yesterday, ( be then pleaded guilty, hut had since retracted his plea,) they would banish from their minds all recollection of it, that they might not be prejudiced against him. He then briefly stated the evidence he should adduce, which will appear in Ihe following summary :—• Sampson Sumuierfield.— Am a clerk at the bank of Messrs. Biddle and Co. bankers, of Shiffnal; the partners are John Biddle, Richard Mountford, John Hensey, and William Henry Cope; I remember the prisoner coming to the banking house on the 9th of February last; it W'as in the morning, and was market day; tbe prisoner produced two promissory uotes, and asked me to give him the money for them; I asked him where he came from, and what his name w as ; he said he came from Stourbridge, and that his name was John Horsboru; 1 said to him " Who sent you from Stourbridge here?" and he replied, " I was told if 1 applied to the Shiffnal bank 1 could have the money." Mr. Cope, one of the partners of the bank, resides near Stourbridge; I know George and James Deeley; they live at a place called tbe Lye Waste, not, far from Stourbridge. Mr. Biddle came into the bank while 1 was engaged with the prisoner; Mr Biddle asked him who George and James Deley were, and whether the signature on the notes were the Upsills of Birmingham? prisoner told liini they were? be then asked him about Joseph Taylor who endorsed Ihe notes, and he said he was a nail- factor near Stour- bridge ; he then asked the prisoner if George and James Deley whose names were also indorsed were of the L. ye Waste, and be said they were; Mr. Biddle said he was satisfied with the notes, and then went into an adjoining room. I desired prisoner to write his name on the bills, and he did ; [ one of the bills was here produced;] I will swear that tbe names of Joseph Taylor and George and James Deley were w lit ten before the prisoner put his name; the No. ( 1512) was put on the bill by me, and is a reference lo our banking book; I paid the prisoner the amount of Ihe notes after deducting the discount. Cross- examined by Mr. Phillips.— 1 was before fhe magistrates when the prisoner was committed ; do not recollect whether I saw his warrant of committal; I never saw the prisoner before; will not swear whether he had a great coat or a close coat on when lie came to the bank, or of what colour it was. [ At this moment of the trial the prisoner was taken very ill, and fell down in a fit, but speedy assistance having been rendered him, he very shortly reco- vered.] 1 know the indorsement of George anil James Deeley; have seen an indorsement w here tbe two Christian names preceded the surname where there were two persons meant; 1 will not take upon myself to swear that Deeley always spelt his name with two cc's, but believe he did; I took the hill chiefly oil the faith of the indorsement; no enquiry was made about the notes till next day whether it was rightly spelt, when they were discovered lo be forgeries; I may have been to blame for not examining the notes more carefully ; I think the name Horsborn which is 011 the note is the hand- writing of one who can hardly write. Re- examined.— Mr. Biddle or myself were iu con- versation with the prisoner ten minutes at least; have 11b doubt it is the person that gave me the bills. John Biddle.— 1 am one of tbe partners of the Shiffnal bank; remember going to the bank the 91 h of February last; the prisoner was there. Air. Biddle also corroborated the last, witness's statement as to the conversation he hail with tbe prisoner at the batik, and further stated that the prisoner told him he was a nail- factor. Cross- examined.— There is an o too much in the word two on the note, and the word eighteen is wrongly spelt. He- examined.— Have seen many good notes very badly spelt. John Lee.— I am a constable at Stourbridge ; re- ceived a warrant to apprehend the prisoner on fhe 15th of February; found him at his house; I told him 1 had a warrant against him for forgery ; made no promise nor used any threat to him. Tbe prisoner said to mc " 1 obtained the money from the Shiffnal bank, and 1 meant to take up the bills as soon as they become due ;" he then said " 1 wish to see Mr. George Decley to tell him how it was ;" 1 then sent for Mr. Deeley, when 1 told him a man in my cus- tody wanted to see him ; he was some time in con- versation with the prisoner; 1 was not present all the time. Geuige Decley.— 1 live at the I. yc Waste: have a partner in trade named James Deeley ; 1 know the prisoner at the bar; have seen him three or four times before be was taken up; I never gave him authority to indorse notes for m. c ; saw ( he prisoner a shbrt lime after lie was apprehended according lo his own wish at the Lye W^ ste; saw him also in custody at. Shiffnal the 17th February ; it was at a public house there; we were alone a little time; 1 did not threaten him or promise him any thing, but gave him a caution, and told him what be said to nie would come against liiui; prisoner then asked nie how the job would turn out, and 1 told him lie must expect to die for it; he seemed lo pause a little at that; 1 then asked him if that was all he wanted w ith me, anil lie said " No, I will tell you all about it: I had no intention to draw the money if 1 had not been pressed to it by a man named and a neighbour of our's of Ihe name of ;" upon that 1 asked him w ho filled up the bills that were drawn, and be said filled them op; I then asked him who indorsed them, and he said No, he did it himself; I also asked him bow became to put our names on the bills, and lie said he was advised to do it by that ; that is all that passed while 1 was with the prisoner. James Decley.— Am brother and partner to the last, witness; have seen the prisoner before; never had any dealings with him or gave him authority to indorse bills for ine ; the names George and James Deley on tbe bill are not in my hand- writing. Cross- examined.-— Never saw either of the persons spoken of by the prisoner as having filled up the bills. The hill before produced was here read by Sir. Bellamy ( Clerk of Assize), as follows : — Birmingham, February 8th, 1830. No. 223. JIB. 6. 0. ( 1512) Twoo months after date, I promise to piy to the order of Mr. Joseph Taylor eaighlftitti pounds six shillings value received as advised. Thus & Jams: Upsills: At Sir James Esilaille & Co. Bankers, London. The bill was indorsed— Joseph Taylor. Geo. rind . bjim- s Dclcy. John R/ irsVira [ The last name was written by tH'e prisoner at the time he presented the bills ] Mr. Phillips here took an objection as lo the bill being correctly set out in the indictment, as there was a doubt in his mind of the word l- psilU as compared with the record ; but his Lordship said the objection was immaterial. Mr. luslice Liltledale then went through the evi- dence, and the Jury found the prisoner 6u: lty. One of the prosecutors ( through Ibe medium of their Counsel) strongly recbhimfnded the prisoner to mercy, as' he believed he was drawn into the com. miltal of the offence by other persons. Ilis Lordship then addressed the prisoner; in tbe course of w hich he said he had been convicted upon tbe clearest evidence of a very serious charge— that of forging an indorsement to a promissory note, and with uttering it: but from the merciful consideration of the prosecutor, and from a conviction in his mind that he was instigated by others, lie said he should be disposed to spare his life. Judgment of Death re- corded. There was another indictment of a similar nature against, the prisoner, but upon that no evidence was adduced. WILLIAM FLETCHER, indicted for having, in the night of the 2711) Jamiary last, unlawfully entered, with other persons, info tbe lands of John Tayleur, Esq. at the parish of Drayfon- in- Hales, he and his confederates being then and there armed, was convict- ed of that offence on the clearest testimony.— It was pfoved by tbe gamekeeper and other persons in the service of Mr. Tayleur, that, being on the watch on the night in question, they found the prisoner, with several other persons, poaching in the preserves of their master, and they succeeded in capturing the prisoner, although his companions escaped, leaving two guns with bludgeons, & c. behind them.— The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned 0 calendar months. CHARLES R1CHARES and JAMES WEAVER the yoimger were convicted of assaulting John James and otheriat Bishop's Castle.— Richards, having been in custody for some time, was sentenced to pay a fine of Is. and then to be discharged.— Weaver, who had been out. on bail, was sentenced to pay a fine of £ 5; he was taken into custody, hut tbe fine being almost immediately paid, lie was discharged. THOMAS JONES, WILLIAM PRICE, JAMES MATTHEWS, RICHARD STAPI. ETON, HENRY TANNATT, JOHN PH1I. IP HARWOOD, junior, JOHN STEVENS, and JAMES BOLTON, all of them young, and some of thcin apprentices, were indicted for having, on the 15th September last, at Bicton Heath, ill tiie liberties of the town of Shrews- bury, violently assaulted and beaten George Watson, of Liverpool, innkeeper, and unlawfully and maliciously cut and damaged a marquee, and destroyed jugs, glasses, and other chattels, his pro- perty. Mr. Phillips having, on behalf of the prosecutor, • tateil the case to the Jury, the following witnesses were called :— George Watson.— 1 am an innkeeper at Liverpool; I have kept an inn for two years there 011 the last occasion, and previously for several years; 1 have a marquee or booth ; I have been with it to races, but never to fairs; on the 15th of September last 1 was at Shrewsbury Races, at a place called Bicton Heath, a little more than two miles from Shrewsbury ; that was 011 the Tuesday, the first day of the races; my servants put up the marquee by my directions; they put it, up partly 011 the evening of Monday the 14th, and finished about 12 o'clock on Tuesday ; I put into it porter, spirits, and wine, also some tobacco, but no eatables excepting for tbe use of my own people; there were 16 tables and 16 seats belonging to tiie marquee, and 3 other tables, all of which were within the marquee. O11 the 15th September I saw all the men at the bar, with many others that 1 can- not identify ; they were at my booth several times in till course of the day ; tbev came the last time after the horses had done running; it might be about 6 o'clock ; the booth had not been injured by any of my people. [ The prosecutor here identified all Ihe persons at the bar.] — I observed tbe eight prisoners coming towards my booth making a great, noise ; 1 said to them," I hope you are not coming to interrupt or molest me— if you Want money or rlrink I'll give it you ;" James Matthews shewed me a shilling, and said u No, we are coming to spend a shilling with you;" they rushed into the booth, Matthews, Price, and Stapleton being foremost; I said to my servant, " give them what drink they wish for, if they require it, but don't take any money from them." Price jumped over the table into the bar, and began to break my earthenware, jugs, and glasses, exclaiming, " Go it, my lads, we'll have it down;" James Mat- thews jumped on the table, and with a stick be had in his hand struck me a violent blow in my face, he then, with a stick, assisted in breaking tbe earthen ware, jugs, glasses, & c.; Staplcton, Tannatt, and Bolton also assisted in breaking them; Harwood and Slevcns were outside, trying lo break the posts, & c. of the booth— they were pulling at them ; Matthews then came out with his knife open ; 1 begged of him to be quiet; and tried to prevent his doing any more mischief; he told me to get out of the way, or he'd run his knife into my guts, at the same time making a blow at me with a knife ; he then, assisted by Jones and the others, endeavoured to destroy the marquee by cutting it down to the ground; they then went away, huzzaing, shouting, ami making a great noise. I did not see a blow made with a knife at Mary Spiers ; after I was struck, I came out of the booth to take notice who the parties were ; 1 was struck above the eye in coming out, and had a very bad eye for a long time. While my servants were gathering up the broken parts of the marquee, & c. Price and Mat- thews came again; Matthews challenged me to tight hini; I said, " it is a shame to do as you have done already in striking me— what have I done to you Price then said, " D— n your eyes, 1 have a letter from the Mayor of Shrewsbury, authorising me to take you all three up and off the race- course," or words to that effect; he then set to and broke more of Ihe wood- work ; I begged of them to go away, and said " we will take our things away and go quietly off;" for I expected nothing less than to be mur. dered. I should think the amount of the damage done was nearly £ 50 ; my marquee was completely spoiled ; 1 lost £ 12 out of my breeches pocket that day, which I include in the £ 50. Cross- examined by Mr. Bather.— I never had my booth taken dowu at Stourbridge or any other place I saw 110 notice to innkeepers 10 apply for leave to erect booths; I did not apply for leave. 1 know nothing of any promise made to one Dibdin or Matthews that they should not be prosecuted if they would give evidence on this trial; I never gav£ in- structions to that effect to any person ; 1 never gave such instructions to my attorney, Sir. Armstrong, of Liverpool; Dibdin and Matthews gave me in- formation voluntarily; 1 have heard of such an offer having been made. 1 did not say Matthews struck at me with a knife; it was Price who struck at infc, aud used the coarse expression 1 have mentioned ; I never saw a knife in Matthews's hand at all ; I never said so; Matthews had a stick ; I knew too well who it was that struck me. [ Mr. Bather here appealed to tbe Learned Judge, observing that himself and two gentle- men by him had taken down from the mouth of the witness thai " Mat'hews thou came out with his knife open," & c.— The Learned Judge said he himself had so taken it down.— The witness insisted that he had not said so; aud the cross- examination proceeded.]' It was at Stourbridge 1 said I was refused leave to ere'et my tent ; I saw an advertisement that all licensed persons who wished to erect booths at Shrewsbury must pay a guinea and have leave of the Clerk of ihe Course ; I did not pay the guinea; ! 1 paid a shilling as earliest 011 obtaining leave; the remainder was never demanded of me. There were no gambling booths nearer to my marquee than other booths; there were some booths on Ihe ground tlmt I understood to be gambling booths, but I had nothing to do with thein. I think Ibe prisoners had been drinking, but they were not drunk. Re- examined— The men at the bar are the parties that did the work; 1 know all these men, because they bad been in my tent several limes that day ; my servant gave them drink by my directions, my servant gave them five or six quarts of porter ; 1 bad an opportunity of observing them ; they did not pay for tbe drink ; I had seen the whole of them in my tent that day before they enme the last time ; I do not mean that they were all in together before; but they were all outside of the tent many times; 1 had reasons for observing them particularly that day ; I am certain they are the men ; ( hey are all that 1 call identify; they avc the men that pulled the booth down. M. irj ; aret Spiers examined.-— I was engaged as servai. t to Sir. Watson 011 Ihe 15th of September last ; I have been in bis employment about 11 years altogether; 1 remember seeing several persons in my master's booth after the races were over, 1 saw James Matthews, Price, John Philip Harwood, Richard Stapletou, and others; they came lo the tent, and James . Matthews struck me, and 1 fell; Price was on the table with a knife'in bis hand, and attempted to slick me in the throat, but my fall prevented it; tbe blade was open, and he struck at c within about a yard as I fell; 9 or 10 glasses were saved, ami all the rest were broken; there were spirits in a 2- gal! on Can nnd brandy in a 2- gallou jug; there were a hamper of port wine broken, and some bottles of sherry ; the tables also got sadly broke, and the forms; at the lime these things were going 011 I recognized the prisoners I have mentioned as being there ; I never saw them before that day ; I had seen them three times that day; Ihey had five quarts of porter before they came last and some silver also, and they said they'd protect my master ; 1 had such an opportunity of seeing them before as to know them.— There was a waiter named Nathaniel Sl'Coy in my master's ervice that day.— 1 was kicked affei Iliad been struck down. Cross- examined— I fell from the blow which Matthews gave me, and as I fell Price was getting 0: 1 the table with a knife; 1 did not say that he struck at nie with a knife, but was ready to do it; I was kicked when down ; and as soon as I got up, I found my master had a black eye; there were many people iu the tent; there might be two hundred ; I was so much agitated at seeing my master's goods destroyed, that I could not count them ; 1 never was at Shrew sbury Races before, nor my master to my knowledge ; the bottles aud glasses were broken ; Price came in, and set on to break all the jugs aud glasses.— The exciseman bad been there. Re- examined.— Price had the knife, but did not strike at me. Nathaniel M'Coy.— I was waiter to Sir. Watson on the 15th of September iast, at Shrewsbury Races; I recollect something being done to my master's booth that day ; fhe men came first for drink; Price, Matthews, Stapleton, and Bolton, I observed in par- ticular ; I saw all the men at the bar there. Cross- examined.— I had not challenged any of these men to fight ; there was wine in hampers, and the hampers were kicked down. Re examined.— The jugs, glasses, tables, chairs, & c were broken. John Rider was called for the prosecution, but he was not examined. Samuel Badger.— 1 live in Coleham; I am a shoe- maker; I was by the tent on the day of the outrage. John Wheeler.— I am a nailor; I live ill the Abbey- Foregate; I was outside the teuton tbe 15th of September. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Bather addressed the Jury for the defendants. — He commented with much force on the attempt that had been made to give an assassin- like character to this drunken row, but which, as the Jury would be aware, had completely broken down 011 the cross- examination of the witnesses. He would not insult the Jury and outrage common- sense by saying the defendants had not been guilty of a riot and assault, but it was one of those drunken riots which so com- monly resulted from the low scenes and low pursuits that a race- course exhibited.— It was unnecessary for him to refer to the allusion that had been made to the Mayor of Shrewsbury : 110 rational person could for a moment suppose that he had countenanced the parties in their drunken proceeding. The Jury found the several defendants guilty ; and the Learned Judge sentenced them as follows:— Thomas Jones, in consideration of his having already been about a month in custody, to be imprisoned three weeks; William Price and James Matthews, to be imprisoned three calendar months; Richard Stapleton, Henry Tannatt, John Philip Harwood, John Stevens, and James Bolton, to be imprisoned six weeks. With this case terminated the business of the As- sizes. FOUR PER CENTS. The ministerial project for Ihe reduction of the Four per Cents, was officially announced on Wed- nesday.

On the affej- noon of March 19, a race between a boat belonging to the Eliza, Swan, whaler, and a pleasure boat, the ]> ropcrfy of Captain Robert Ram- say, took place 011 the river, which was attended with the most distressing circumstances. After the con- test was over, and the boats returning had just passed under the bridge, the crowd pressed to the side next the harbour, when, melancholy to relate, one of the great suspension chains gave way at the top of the North Tower, and came down at the lower part of the curve ( exactly the centre of the bridge, where the dense part of tile crowd were assembled, and where many were leaning over the rail iin mediately under the great chain) and one man and two boys were killed 011 the spot, the immense weight of the chain having fallen 011 their heads, which were crushed in a fearful manner. Several other boy have got arms and legs fractured, and many are slightly bruised and otherwise injured. The noise occasioned by the chain giving way was like the discharge of artillery; and the alarm among the Crowd Caused an immediate rush to the end of the bridge. Tbe confusion that took place is indescriba- ble: the multitude imagining that the whole fabric was immediately to give way, the rush became so great that th'e crowd trampled down and trode over One another, and hats, Iwfnnets, muffs, anil reticules, were strewed on the bridge, the owners thinking thinking themselves well off to escape with life Most, fortunately Hie end of fhe broken chain came in contact with, and rested upon the olher chain that runs parallel with it: had the whole weight of it Come down, the consequences must have been ap palling. The accidcnt happened a short time before the arrival of the mail from the north, and from the state of the bridge it was not considered safe to allow the coach to pass: the guard carried the bags across the river, and proceeded in a post chaise. In conse- quence of the chain giving way, other parts of the bridge have been so much injured that orders have been given to stop all communication by horses and carriages, and the alarm is so great that foot passen- gers are afraid to trust themselves on it, a. bj, many are ferrying over in boats to- day. Since w riting Ihe above, another boy has died in the hospital, from the severe bruises he received under the chain.— Abridged from the Caledonian Mercury. f* li0 « Uaneou! 5 Entclligence. STAFFORD ASSIZES. William Simpson, ( on bail) was charged with enter- ing certain inclosed lands, belonging to Earl Stamford and Warrington, in the parish of Enville, being armed, for the purpose of destroying game, in the night of the 13th of November. James Davies— I am a keeper in the service of Earl Stamford and Warrington. I went to the Camp Cover along with William and Thomas Stedman. We heard the report of an air- gun when we were ahout half a mile from Camp Cover. We heard other reports, and me and Stedman separated ; Wil- liam Stedman went to the right corner of the cover, and Thomas to the left. I went under a hedge opposite to the lane. I heard two more reports. 1 heard a pheasant fall and cry, and saw three men come out of the cover info the lane. They came to w ithin 15 or 20 yards of the place where I was. I heard an air- pump working. One of them struck the stile three times, and two other men joined them who had been in the cover. They went down the lane and I followed them. When I had got about 100 yards further I heard a scuffle and these words, " D— 11 your eyes, stand and fight like men ; we can beat them all.' 1 And soon ' afterwards—" Tommv, stand and fight, or I'll tell of you all." Sir. Phillips at this period raised an objection to the indictment, but it was over ruled by the Judge. James Davies.— Examination continued.— I found that Thomas Stedman had got hold of the prisoner. Tbe other men were gone. I found a bottle of sweet oil upon Simpson. Cross- examined.— 1 did say " If you come to Slafford \ ouare a d — d fool, for you'll be transported If you do." I did not wish him to be transported. By the Judge.— They can't work the air- pump without oil. Thomas Stedman, assistant keeper, corroborated the former part, of Davies's testimony, and added, — 1 got hold of Simpson. He turned and struck me twice with his bludgeon. He swore and said the words repeated by tbe last witness, when one of the men came back and struck me. i knocked his blud- geon from his hold, and he ran away. The prisoner pulled a pheasant out of his pocket, and he threw it into Ihe ditch. Cross- examined.— I hit him twice after lie had struck nie. The case being one of misdemeanor only, Sir. Phillips availed himself of the privilege of addressing the Jury 011 behalf of the prisoner. After animad- verting 011 the baneful effects of the present game laws, which lie said " put the liberty of his fellow creatures ill competition with a pheasant's wing," he directed the attention of the Jury to the evidence which had been given, anil endeavoured to shew that it was not worthy their implicit credit. The prisoner was acquitted. There is a Bill now before Parliament " to make provision for the lighting, watching, cleansing, and paving of parishes in England and Wales," in w hich it is made an offence in any person to "/ ly any kite, drive any hoop, or play fit foot- ball, or any other game or games, to the annoyance of any passenger or traveller." The adjourned debate in tbe House of Commons on Sir. E. D. Davenport's motion, that the House should go into a Committee 011 the distress of tbe country, terminated on Tuesday night; when the motion was negatived by a majority of 225 to 87.— The Earl of Uxbridge, Sir R. W. Vaughan, Bart, and F. R. West, Esq. voted in the minority. REPRESENTATIVE PEER Lord Doneraile has been unanimously elected a Representative Peer for Ireland, in the room of the late Slarquis of Headfort. Is it not, wc would ask, a circumstance unprece- dented in the annals of Political Delusion, that, the English nation received the first authentic, and really official, announcement cf the appointment of Prince Leopold to the Greek throne through a foreign medium— absolutely through the medium of the French King's Speech to the Parliament of France? MUNIFICENT DONATION.— The Lord Primate of Ireland has contributed the munificent donation of £ 25,000 towards tbe rebuilding of tbe cathedral at Armagh. The estimated cost for its complelion is £ 50,000. Tiie remaining £ 25,000 will be advanced from Ihe consolidated fund, to be returned by instalments, for which purpose the beneficed clergy of the diocese have voluntarily consented lo tax their livings at tbe rate of one per cent. ECONOMY.— A remark of a most pointed character made by Sir. Hume the olher night, in the House of Commons, speaks volumes as to the disposition of ministers for economy and retrenchment. " To shew the manner," said Sir. Hume, " in which the ministers supported their professions of economy, he would ask the house to look at the late arrangements with respect to the stamp office, it was found that out of eight commissioners, there were not three who could be persuaded to meet eat li oilier for tbe transaction of business. Wrell, the board was broken up, and it was supposed the ministers would avail themselves of the event, and as three were found sufficient for the con- duct of business, that 110 more would he retained. But what did they do ? They discharged and pen- sioned ihe whole of them, and then appointed a new board, more numerous than the former, and at a higher salary ! !.'" DREADFUL SIAIL COACH ACCIDENT.— On Sa. tnrday evening week, as the Slanchesler and lluddersfield mail was returning from the former to the latler place, the horses broke out into a gallop in coming down the hill by the plantation of John Horsfall, Esq Thornton Lodge, and grew unma- nageable. The coachman, having lost HII power over them, became apprehensive tluit the coach would Le upset 011 Lopgroyd- bridge, which is situated at tbe foot of Ihe hill, and before gaining which there is a sharp and dangerous turn. His forebodings were fearfully realized; for, on arriv- ing on the bridge, tbe coach came violently in contact with tbe curb- stone and the battlements; and the coachman, Sir. S. Stalham, of Huddersfield, a Mr. Berry, of Almoudbury, and a person of tbe name of Wilson, were precipitated on the rocks and gravel below, a fall, it is staled, of eight or nine yards at least. The horses then broke the pole, and proceeded with it at a furious rate to lludders- field, in the streets of which two of them fell from exhaustion, and, being entangled in the harness, a stop was of course put to the career of tbe other two, aud they were all secured without doing fur- ther damage. But the most tragical part of the disaster remains lobe told. As soon astheioach was upset, a man went down to the water side with a candle, and found Sir. Statham senseless ; after a few convulsive throbs, he breathed his last sigh. Mr. Berry's leg was broken; the coachman much injured, but able to walk, having no bones frac- tured ; and, strange to say, the other person, though his fall was four feet lower than that of his compa- nions in misfortune, had sustained scarcely any external injury, but he suffers from the effects of the violent concussion. Two olher passengers aud the guard were providentially thrown 011 to the load, and were but slightly injured. The coachman and Ihe other sufferers are doing as well as can be expected, and are none of them iu danger. The unfortunate Mr. Samuel Statham was a haberdasher aud hosier in Huddersfield, the eldest of three brothers carrying on business together, and was much respected : he was a bachelor, aged 37 years. O11 Monday au inquest was held on his remains, at the George Inn, Huddcrsfield. ARCTIC EXPEDITION.— The English expedition to the Arctic Pole ( says the Moniteur) has safely reached tbo 57th degree of north latitude! The steam- boat has traversed the most dangerous seas of the globe. But, wishing to touch at the coast of Spitzbergen, she was overtaken by a violent, gale of wind which carried away her maintop- mast. AH English vessel happening to get among the ice, anil being therefore abandoned by its crew, her mamma** was taken out by the sfearner, as well as the provisions and fuel, that were requisite for continuing the voyage to the Po'e. In the Vice- Chancellor's Court, on Wednesday, • case, instituted only thirty years ago, was decided. II was that of " Lord Clinton u. the Earl of Coven- try," and all the points that had arisen upon it had been settled but oue. Lord Clinton had conveyed certain estates over to trustees In raise £ 34,000, £ 7,400 of which was especially appointed for Ilia purchase of some property, which the Master had reported cou'd not be made. The motion was to confirm the Master's report. No opposition beinqr made, it was granted. Sir. Randall a » feed for costs for the surviving trustee out of th^ fund, which wa » granted. A singular circumstance occurred a few days ago at Doctors' Commons. Au executor attended lo prove the will of a deceased friend, who died in Chichester, when a codicil, dated in November^ 182!), was produced; but, upon holding up tho paper, to examine if any erasure had been made, if. was found to bear the water mark of 1830 ! For- tunately the witnesses were all living, or it might have given some trouble. Suppose a law- suit, depending upon date— and this paper had been produeed---! i » w fatal would have been the result.— It shews ihe necessity of paying, more attention on the part of paper- makers. At the Roscommon Assizes, J0I1 a Slornn su found guilty of shooting at the Kev. Sir. Day, on the 11th of November. P. Comyn, Esq. convicted at F. nnis Assiz ® of setting fire to his own house ( Scotland Lodge), on lie tirli of December last, is ordered for execution on the 1st of April. He is connected with some of the principal families iu Clare and Galway, and was at one time u magistrate for three counties. Seven criminals' have been left for execution at Ennis— Nelson, of Feakle, for the brutal iissnult on the child ( wliose trial is unfit to meet the public eye) — the three wretches for cutting out Ibe tonguea of the poor farmers near Kilrush— Sir. Cotnyn, for maliciously burning— and two for burglary. CAPITAL, CONVICTION OF A WIIOI, E FASTII. T FOR SIURIIKR.— On Monday Judge Hlackburpo was occupied from twelve o'clock at noon till eight o'clock at night, at Limerick, in tbe trial of John Slurphy, Lawrence Lynch, John Dan worth, Slar- garet Slurphy, Slary Murphy, aud Honnra Slurphy, for Ihe wilful murder of Walter Burke, at Ballin- liinch, in the county of Limerick, on the night of the 12th of April, 1829. The circumstances of thi » atrocious case appeared fully in evidence last Sum- mer Assizes-; and ou that occasion James SItirphy, son of John Slurphy, one of the prisoners, was tried before Judge ' lorrens, found guilty, anil executed, for tbe murder of Timothy Neill, one of the keepers oil his father's properly. On this oc- casion fresh evidence was procured in the person of Margaret Heffcrnan; and the prisoners above- named were convicted of the murder of Walter Burke, the second keeper, on the same liight with his companion Neill. The principal witness, Mar- garet Heffernan, who slept in the prisoner's bouse that night, was sworn not to divulge what she might see. After hearing the evidence nnd a most impartial charge from the Judge, the jury retired. The prisoners, including the father, mother, and two daughters, and two very clever well- dressed young men, fell ou their knees in the dock, to implore the Divine mercy. The jury returned in a quarter of an hour, and gave the verdict— Guilty of the actual murder against John Dunworth, Law- rence Lynch, and Mary Murphy, tbe eldest daugh- ter ; Guilty of the conspiracy to murder against John Murphy, Slargaret Slurphy, and Honora Murphy, father, mother, and younger daughter.— Mis Lordship passed sentence of death, execution, and dissection against the first three, for Wednes. day, the 17th of Slarcli, and sentence of death against Ihe other three also, without naming any day. Tbe judgment of the Court elicited the loud- est lamentations, and the prisoners were removed, under a stroug guard, to the county gaol, by torch- light, bewailing their fate with tbe most pitiful cries. His Lordship gave none of them any liopn whatever of mercy. At the Assizes at Pbilipstown, King's County, Ireland, Michael BrOgan, a wealthy farmer, was found guilty of the murder of his wife, and was ordered for execution on Slouday. It was proved by the evidence that the deceased was on the point of lying- in on the day of the murder ; and when the prisoner came home from market he suddenly rushed on tbe unfortunate woman, and broke the back part of her skull with a poker. No cause can be assigned for the dreadful deed. At the Lancaster Asstaes, ou Saturday, John Taylor, a quack doctor, was indicted for adminis tering a quantity of quicksilver to a little girl, named Ann Slorley, at Liverpool, on the 21st of December last, and ( hereby causing her death, it appeared in evidence that the child having been taken ill, the mother sent for the prisoner, who administered several doses of quicksilver to her, vVhich was supposed to have produced . death. Tho Judge, however, after censuring- tbe prisoner in strong terms, directed an acquittal, as the evidence was not stroug enough to substantiate the charge. — A. M'Gibhton, a> sed 21 years, an Irish labourer in Ihe dock- yard at Liverpool, was found guilty of th « wilful murder and robbery of Sir. Alexander Slun- ro, tbe late keeper of tbe Liverpool Royal Literary Institution. The prisoner was executed on Slouday. At the Lancaster Assizes, Paul Rigby, ( 47) John Grimes, ( 67) anil Mary Grimes, ( 27) were tried on a charge of highway robbery, attended with brutal treatment, committed at Spotfortli, near Lancaster, on the 23d of February last.— The prosecutor, Robert Stanley, who lives at Oswcslry, on his way to Lan- caster, about a quarter past six o'clock in the evening, was accosted by a woman, who asked him to give her some halfpence. Two men followed her who violently assaulted him, knocked him down repeatedly until he became insensible. He was shortly afterwards found by a man who was going from Lancaster towards Spotfortb, lying along side a gate by the road- side, to which bis hiinds were tied with wire, cold and in- sensible, and, to all appearance, dead, lie was con- veyed to the nearest huuse, and means adopted to resuscitate him, which, at length, were effectual. He then found thut be had been robbed of two Bank of England £ 5 notes* three sovereigns anil a half, sonio shillings, a silver watelrnnd its appendages, a silver pencil case,' and a parcel containing a shirt and twi » pair of stockings.— The prisoners were proved to have been at a public house at Spotforih on the evening named, where they drank some ale, and, on going away, desired the landlord to lake notice what time they left, without assigning any reason for it. Grimes was heard to say, as they went along " we are just ripe for killing a man, we have plenty of wire in the basket," and his wife, who was carrying a basket, said " hush, hush." O11 Rigby was found a glove, the fellow of which was found at the gate to which the prosecutor was tied ; and he carried a stick which bad a ferrule of an uncommon description, and which fitted exactly a scrirs of holes which were tracked to a considerable distance along the road.— The evidence having been minutely recapitulated to Ihe jury, they instantly returned a verdict uf Guilty against all the prisoners.— Rigby anil Grimes wert sentenced to Death, and Mary Grimes to trans- portation for life.
