On Wednelday !aft the long-conteßed cattle of Dillon v. Dillon, was decided in the Court of Dele gates, confiflirig of five Judges, Lord Weaver re ading. The.

Saturday night laa, the dwelling-boufe of a poor man who was employed by Mr. Rosati.? Hoaaw, in the tare of is farm lately taken by him in the county of Waterford, was broken open by a banditti, who beat the unfortunate man in a very defperate man ner, and forced him to take an oath that he would quit the place before the enfuing night.—They on the fame night committed fume other outrages dm a honfe of Mr DUDLIY'S, from whom HOGAN had taken the farm. On Monday a very handfome young fellow was taken in'o cuftody in Waterford, on a charge of paff ing a five guinea forgery. He gave a very contra diflory account of himfelf, and has been fully corn mined. His name, he lays, is John Porter ; that pre vious to the year ;Sol, he lived as clerk with Mr. Carleton, of Dublin, and afterwards with an actor• ney in Britain-areet ; that he lately came from Wee. ford.

About eight o'clock on Wednefday morning, a man or pale complexion and middle file, in a grayilh drab cnlnnred coat, and white firiped waiftcoat, and about 26 years of age, knocked at the door of Simpfon's Hofpital, and defired to fee one of die patient., named Edward Johnfon, and being inform ed that he was not out of bed, the Clanger requefl ed the perfon 'rho opened the door to inform John fon, that a man from the country wifhed to Irak with him. This message being delivered, the suitor was immediately introduced to johnfon's room, where he fat down, and Paid he came from Johnson's part of the country, near Donegal!. The latter, who was totally blind, profeffed hirofelf fomewbat furprifcd at a 'ad from a perfon whore voice was quite unknown to him ; the firanger declared it was merely a odic of friendfhip, undertaken at the desire of the wife and family of the patient, with whom he (aid he was to. lerably intimate. After flopping a short time he in vited johofon to go out with him to drink, which be ing declined, he took out of his pocket a finall cake, afking him to break bread, fence he would not dtink, laud giving it to him; immediately took his leave, fay. tn . g that a female friend of johnfon's, whom he met on horfeback on the road from the North, would call on him at one o'clock. On the ftranger's departure, Johnfon divided the cake with another patient, nam ed Thomas Mallow, who was alto blind. In the emote of the day, Johnfon grew lick, his bowels were much affeeled, and a dangerous vomiting en rued. It then occurred to him that he was poifon ed, and he communicated his fears to the Steward of the Hofpital. Mallow complained in a limiter man ner ; when Dr. BOTTOM was fent for, but medical in terference was ineffeCual ; both were violently con vulsed, and at four o'clock on Wednefday evening, as we have already Rated, Johnfon expired. Mallow died early on Thurfday morning. The firß was 46 years of age, the latter 34. Thus have perifited by the bands of fame unknown villain, two inoffenfive members of the community. whole deaths, we troll, will be avenged by a kilt Paoviotecs I A Coroner's Inqueß was held on Thurfday on the bodies of the unfortunate men, and after the fullett invelligation of the horrid tranfailion returned a ver . - dift ot—lrtyal Merrier by Poifews agailfi few podia .r peril's: minium. Nothing, since the murder of the women in Peter's Row, by Crawley, has excited more public indigna tion or regret than this diabolical traonfaCtion. We were at first unwilling to fuppofe that there oasis ex. illence a being fo completely loft to every fenfe of feeling, as hint who has fent there poor blind mor tals to eternity," with all their imperfations on their heads"—but we have unhappily received a full con. firmation of the murder, and on theft particulars the Public may rely. The Trotters of Simpfon's Hofpital have offered a reward of one hundred pounds, for the difcoverr of the perfon or perfons concerned—and we trait the difcovery is not very dittant. While every inmate of the hefpital was confufed and agitated by this aloft Clocking affair, their dif. trefs was heightened by the fudden death of ano. ther patient of the houfe, Alexander Rofs, who in- Rantaneonfly died on Wednefday night, about ten o'clock, by burning* blood relict is the head. Monday fe'nnight, at gantwicb s Mr. Schofield, ferjeant of the Army of Referee, was married to Miff Betty Hallwood, of Beam-btidge.

Sbe wm taken without any oppolitiost, having been previoutly boarded by a Britith frigate, which imprefed her men, leaving berbartly enough to navigate the vefel. The Bithunisra Gazette mentions, report that Pi not*, BostAAAAve and his lady had made their eff. cape on board the Cordelia, a fall failing fc.honner, under the command of Captain Towles ; aid the Philadelphia True American Rates that they wine lhipwrecked and obliged to return. Both reports, however, appear to be equally without foundation. A grand Jury of the Sate of New Jerfey have pre fented a bill of indiftment againft Colonel - Buster fi r murder. As the wound was given in, the State of New Jerfey, and General HILKILTOII died in that or New York, Colonel Boaz ' it was thonglst, could not be charged with murder t for, as in common law, if the Itroke of which one dies be given in one county, and be die in another, it is not murder in either, fo it ought to hold Rill more ffrongly in refped to differ- ' ent Stater. It happens, however, that there is a par ticular ftatute of the State of New Jerfey, by which, if the ftroke be ;rafted there, and the perfon die in confequence thereof though in another State, it is held to be murder. - • t 6.—Captain Pkreasom who arrived here yciterday from Shelburne, informs us that be pared the French frigates, the Didon and Sybille, from this port, on Saturday evening, at 5 o'clock, off the N. E. end of Black Ifland, with their courfes ' hauled up. As it was then calm, he fisppesfes they could not have gone more than a mile before twelve that night, when a breeze (prang up from N. N.

The following extraordinary occurrence, which happened in the neighbourhood of Denton on Fri day fe'nnight, cannot fail to excite the allonithmert of our readers ; but, incredible as it mull undoubted ly appear, the fart may be depended upon, as it took place in the pretence of feveral perces' : if A man of the name of Wilton, who fay: he is a native of hiancheller, but of Irifh extraaion, and evidently deranged in his intelletts, went to the ens!. works of MCITTS. Cooke, in Houghton, and ?signer. ed the men at the three different pits to fuller him to leap down ; but they drove him away, and were con(dering on fome means to fecure him, when rb fetving the momentary abfence of a man employed in winding water, he darted forward with inconc, is able (peed, threw off his hat, and precipitated f headlong down a pit Ito yarns in depth, to the a - moll terror and difmay of the beholders. A matt was immediately let down, not doubting that he Ihnuld find him lifelefs ; when, however, to his rept afionithment, he found him ftanding upright at the bottom, up to the neck in water, anJ not only able to talk, but to •ffil very naively in getting into the bucket, apparently in his pertia genres, and. abet. brought up. could both fiend and walk into the hut with very little help.
