At Devine-glen, near to Drutalaorig Castle, in Nithisdale, the chaise, which was ahead, was arrested by an enormous wreath of snow, 20 feet deep. Three of the horses being re markably powertul, the driver drove into the wreath, with the determination to get through; bet there was no overcoming the obstruction, and the vehicle slack fan.

A few nights since, the house of Francis Doonao, a farmer, is the parish of Fenagh, near Ballinamore, was I broker' into by a number of men with their faces black cued, who demanded his money ; the poor man denied having any; upon which these monsters placed him oni the fire; this induced his wife to produce twelve sove reigns, which she declared were all the house contained; but the •villains were too well informed, and, to extort the remainder of what they were well aware he posses. sed, they brought a quantity of straw (in the midst of *bids they placed the unfortunate man), and having set it on fire, soon compelled him to acknowledge a farther sum of 01. which they carried off; but Doonan was so dreadfully burned that little hopes are entertained of bis recovery. Yesterday a fire broke out in the house, 61, Angier street, Dubl n, in the back drawing•room, occupied by a Mrs. Bark. The accident wits occasioned by a lighted candle incautiously left near the bed, by which the ~Marnes were communicated to the curtains.

APRIL 14.--This day Thomas O'Brien, Patrick Harding, and Patrick Leary, for Whiteboyisna, were executed, pursuant to their sentences, in front of the new •county gaol. The unfortunate culprits were turned off without expressing any declaration of their gailt or innocence to the large crowd before them.— &fore the drop fell, Thomas O'Brien fainted from excessive weakness, and remained half suspended, when the platforms gave way—his feet at this moment, clung to the cross-beam, and, to relieve him from the agony of such a situation, a soldier extricated the feet, and he swung then with his fellows; but the sad ac cident evidently prolonged his mortal sufferings, and his body was painfully convulsed. The convicts were attended to the scaffold by the Reverend Messrs.Tuoby,' O'Grady, and Malone, Roman Catholic Clergymen. Denis Sullivan has been committed to Tralee gaol for the murder of Daniel Shea, in the barony of Glans rough, which had been committed tea years ago. Monday se'nnight, Capt. M'Clintock and Mr. H. M.

JOHN PllllllO AND CO. AGAINST 301111 WILK', JUN. AND G. VERRICE. _ This was an action brought by Sir John Petting and Co. bankers, of Cornhill, against the defendants, who carried on the business of Solicitors, for the recovery of a sum of 2.0001. the amount of a bill of exchange drawn by Mr. Wilk', in the name of himself and partner, en dorsed by Mr. Wilks, and accepted by him in his own name and that of Mr. Verbeke. It appeared that the defendant Wilks conducted the money affairs of the firm of Wilks and Vetbeke, and that accounts were kept in his name at the banking-houses of Sir William Kaye and Sir John Pening. In the beginning of Jan. 1826, a balance of 1,7001. stood in the name and in favour of Mr. Wrlks.jn the books of Sir John Perring's house; and on the 4th of that month Mr. Wilks addressed a letter to Mr. Bather, a partner in the house, to tbefol• lowing effect: "My dear Sir,—To accomplish a particular object. wkM b. ter faring with the balance In your house or Sir W. Kayo, mil without selling oat stock or shares at s loss. I Man be iu Wile 148 sum of 4,0001. until the end of February ; and I shall be oblipil if you will discount the enclosed bill, which will become due m the 7th of March, and which I will am want to have renewed.—li ant, Sir, yours, very truly, " JOHN WILKS, Jun." In compliance with the request contained in this letter, the bill was discounted. and paid on the following day by a check drawn by Mr. Wilks, and handed by him to the Welsh Iron Company, in discharge of a sum of 2,5001. due by him to that Company for shares. The bill was subsequently dishonoured, and upon Mr. Ver beke being applied to for payment, he desired that ap plication should be made to Mr..Wilks, who settled all the money matters of the firm. The defence now set upon behalf of Mr.Verbeke, who alone appeared by his Conasel, was, that he was entirely ignorant of the whole transaction until two months after the bill had become, due, and that the house of Paring and Co. must have been aware that Mr.Wilks had pledged the credit of his partner for his own private purposes, by the terms of the letter in which the bill was enclosed. The CHIES Amigos. said, that if the Jury were cf opinion that Mr. Barber, acting for the house of Per ring and Co. had reasonable ground for being informed that Mr. Wilks had pledged his partner's name for his private purposes, they ought to find for the defendants was not necessary that the Jury should believe that Mr. Wilks contemplated any fraud on his partner, for he might have had reason, and good reason, to sup pose that he could have taken up the bill when it be- cane due, and in that case his partner's credit would have suffered nothing. lithe Jury considered that Mr. Barber had not reason to suppose that Mr. Wilks ap plied to have the bill discounted for his own private purposes, they' was bound to fiqd their verdict for the plaintiffs. • After a few ;Amin, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs . --Daunaget 2,000 L with interest amount ing to 1161. 14s. 2d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Art= 19. IPAATT AND ANOTHIR N. VORIS& This was an action at the instance of the plaintiffs, who are Assignees to a publican of the name of Lynch, against the defdant, who is a wine-merchant in Mark ' lane, in order t o recover the sum of RC paid by the, bankrupt Lynch to the defendant after he had cow witted an act of bankruptcy with the latter's knowledge. Mr. Sergeant 'LIDDY having stated the case, called several witnesses, but the question having turned upon die point as to the defendant's knowledge of the act of bankruptcy committed previous to the payment, the only evidence for the plaintiff on this point was thetas. downy of Mr. Hanson the plaintiff's Attorney. It appeared that on the evening of the 6th October last, the bankrupt's house was sold, and that a Mr. Russell, the defendant's clerk, was present, with several other creditors. Mr. Henson stated, that next morning, at nine o'clock, Mr. Russell and Mr. Spratt called ups* him, and the latter informed him, in Russell's presence, that several writs had issued against the bankrupt, and that he (Spratt) had every reason to believe that the bankrupt had committed an act of bankruptcy. Under these circumstances he consulted witness as to what he should do, when witness advised him to give notice to Whitbread and Co. and others, who had funds of the bankrupt in their hands, that a commission should be issued against him. Notwithstanding this, however, Russell on the same day got the bankrupt arrested, and put into a lockup house, where he received the SOL and then discharged him. Mr. Sergeant WILDS, for the defendant, stated, that he would prove that Mr. Henson was mistaken about the hour when the meeting took place. Mr. Russell was accordingly called, and deposed that he had got the money about four o'clock, on the 7th October, and that he did not see Mr. Henson till six o'clock in the evening. The witness's examination before the Commissioners was then read, -before whom he deposed that the meeting took place about a fort. night after the 6th of October; besides the evidence he then gave, varied in several particulars from that now given. The Cnral JUSTICR having recapitulated the evi dence, left it to the Jury to say whose testimony they should believe, that of Mr. Russell or Mr. Henson. If they believed the former, as the law stood at preseut t i it was their duty to 6nd for the defendant ; if the latter, then they would 6nd for the plaintiff. The Jury, without any hesitation, found for the plain tiffs—Damages, 501. MN. CON.--CLINTON N. SMP. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation for the loss of his wire, who was alleged to have been seduced by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant WILDS briefly stated the case. The parties to this action moved in an humble condition of life. The plaintiff was a traveller to a mercan tile house iii the City ; the defendant moved also in the more subordinate branches of trade. The plaintiff sad been married to his wife but, two years, when .he commenceJ an intercourse with the defendant.— Up to the beginning of that connection she had ' iced c Irrectly and happily with her husband. - 1 'Since that date she had become addicted to the use of strong liquors, to habits of pecuniary catiavagance, and other irregularities of conduct. Sucb as &ening ter husband's clothes in order to raise money Ter the lupply of her imprudent expenses. The plaintiff's bccupatimr frequently required his absent* from home. The defendant took that opportonity of frequenting the plaintiff's house, and carrying on an intercourse with the wife. In order Vie better to avoid suspicion, he passed for her brother; and accoutred for bia absence fsem the house during the husband's stay in town, by stating that he and the husband (his alleged brother-in law) had quatrelled, and were not on terms of acquaint ance. Tae husband, on returning from his commereal journies, found his wife more and more given to intoxi cation, and his property decreasing in still larger pro portions. Complaints (the result naturally was com plaints) on his side—denials on hers—mutual irritation —frequent quarrellings—personal, and ultiMate sepa ration. After they had ceased to cohabit, the husband discovered, on inquiry among the persons who lodged in his house, that his wife had carried on an adulter , us intercourse with the defendant dining his (the husband%) absence. To that immoral connection he imputed all her subsequent depravation of general principle and conduct; and from the defendant, as the active cause of her moral and social ruin, he sought by the present action such reasonable and moderate compensation as 'a Jury of his country would consider due to him for the loss of his wife and his domestic happiness. Elisabeth Diane sworn—Proved the marriage of the plaintiff and his wife iu January, 1824. Mr. Peter Smith, an attorney, was the next witness called. Having appeared in the witness' box, he se. faced to give any testimony on the subject until he &Mild be paid the expenses of his attendance. He had been waiting on the cause five days, and required a guinea a day for his attendance. Mr. Sergeant Wane having undertaken that the 'witness should receive the proper expenses, Mr. P. Smith stated that he had lodged in the plain. tiff's house from the spring of 1825 till the summer of 1826, and had occasional opportunities of observing the manner in which the plaintiff and his wife lived together. They were on very good terms with each other, as good as husband and wife ought to he. Mr. Gates ' s merchant's clerk, lodged in the plaintiff's house from the March to the Michaelmas of last year. The plaintiff was absent from toss n in June, on his tra velling business. The defendant Baron came every day to the house after the husband's departure, but never except in the husband's absence. Wanes. had heard that the defendant was brother to the plain.iff's wife (Mts. Clinton), but doubting the truth of this, asked him (the defendant) whether he really was her brother ? The defendant blushed, looked confuted, and said be believed he was. The defendant constantly cunt to the house; he was there frequently late at night with Mrs. Clinton. even the very night of the day that Mr. Clinton (the plaintiff) left town. He was generally con cealed all night in a spare bed-room on the second floor. Witness once tapped gently at the door of that room, earl saw the defendant open it. Whenever there was a knock at the street-door, that was thought to be the husband's, the defendant used to run from the ki then nip stars, and hide himself in she spare bed-room. This laved from May to July. When the plaintiff, t n his return to town, would rise in the moping. and go out to attend to his bu s iness in the counting-house, the wife would also rise, and go to the bed-room where the defendant lay concealed, and stay with him souse minutes. Oa one occasion she remained there tea minutes. Her husband (the plaintiff) was used to quarrel with bet on account of her addiction to the use of spirituous liquors. . . Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SPANlClK—Mititieff has, seen Mrs. Clinton with a black eye; has visited ,Clinton the (plaintiff) since their separation. Saw Betsey May living as a servant with Mr. Clinton, but does not bow who is the present, the adissg Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Clinton was not used to keep a servant before he sepa sated from his wife. Betsey May is about eighteen 17of age; she had been on a visit to the plaintiff o s !before the separation. The affair of the black eye oc curred before the visit. Witness knows that Mrr. Clinton has sued her husband for maintenance in the Ecclesiastical Court. _ _ _ Re-examined by Chief Justice Barr—Tie plaintiff's present lodgings consist of two rooms, a bed-room and a sitting-room. There is but one bed; but then, in the sitting-room there is a sofa, which is u.ed for a bed, a) be has seen bed clothes on it. Amy Hall, a girl about 14 years of age, lived as sew. Tani to her aunt, Mrs. Gates, the wife of the last witness, at .the plaintiff's house. Knout the defendant Bevon; has seen him in a bed-room with Mrs. Clinton and, Mrs. Gates, witness's aunt. Never saw Mrs. Clinton in bed with the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Wu-Ds—Are you sure you never saw Bevon in bed with Mrs. Clinton ? Witness—l newer did; but my aunt (Mrs. Gates) told me to say so. Bevon and Mr. Clinton have come once together to the house of witness's father since the separation. Mr. Gates re-examined by Chief Justice Besr—ls sure he saw Bevon in the bed-room. He had been there 211 night. Witness suspected the existence of a cri minal intercourse between the defendant and Mrs. Clinton, yet still continued with his wile to live in the same house with such characters, because he was bound by agreement to remain six months. Though he was' , told that the defendant vas Mrs. Clinton's brother, be did not believe it. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant SPANK'S addressed the Jury for the defendant. One thing was clear in this cate, and that was, that the plaintiff s house was conducted on liberal principles—(A laugh). It afforded accommodation to lovers, not for money, but accommodation for love. He would be far from denying that the fair labourers were undeserving of their hire; but if people would go to the devil, it'was some consolation that they went to the devil gratis,—(laughter)—u they did in the house of the plaintiff; now, that was what he meant by saying it was conducted on liberal principles; but what was the whole matter proved in this case? Why, that a man was seen in company with two women , -with two.
