SUM:JP!? ASSIZES. LANCASTER, AUGUST 11. BLEAZBY V. BRIDGE. Mr. ALDERSON opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, a weaver, against the defendant, the servant of a Mr. Culling worth, a Gentleman at Manchester, who was indebted to the plaintiff, to recover damages for an assault com mitted upon him. Mr. Sca eta= called the following witness: — Mr. Cullingworth, the master of the defendant, was called to prove the insulting language which passed be tween the parties. He heard something like a scuffle, but he saw no blows struck. In cross-examination the witness denied having kept servants for the purpose ofevading the demands of his creditors, and also to the violence used towards the plaintiff. - Serjeant CROSS—Noboiy who knows you, Sir, could suspect that you kept set wants for any such purpose. 1 hose who know the firm to which you belong could net believe any such statement for a single moment. Ec,imination e%ltmed—The phiintiff was conducting himself with great violence when a traveller came into hilt shop. The plaintiff asked the defendant what he was coming there for ? to which he replied, " You know yr, u ' r e a scoundrel !" upon which he was knocked down. Nn furtlit-r evidence being adduced in support of the plaintiff's ...e, he was nonsuited. NEGLECT GT ATTDRNIES. Several cases were called on in the course of the day, but as no :.•!ori.ies appeared to instruct Counsel, the cases were ordered to r struck out of the list. Nichard Williams and Hugh Quin were capitally in v"cted for la Tying disposed of, and put away a forged note of the Bank of England for 51. knowing the same tote forged. At.. SCARLETr stated the case to the Jury, and called the follow ing witnesses. Elizabeth Eves—ls servant at a public-house in Pres ton, and. remembers the prisoners having had something to drink 'here on a Sunday evening, and called for change of a five pound note. Witness offered the note to Mrs. Eaton, who asked to have the names of the prisoners. Change was given for the note. Mrs. Eaton the landlady, and Eaton, the landlord, corroborated the servant. The note was here identified by Eaton, the landlord. John Gillespie was called to prove that the prisoner Williams was known •to him ; that he went to a but cher's shop to buy some meat; that he offered a N. note to be changed, and that he got the change from a public-house near the butcher's shop, and that , Q(tin obtained a part of the change. Witness had sokilus picion of these persons, and returned to ask the land lord of the public-house if it were good ? he found upon enquiry that it was bad, and went to the consta ble, Whar ton, who dispatched some officers to search for the prisoners, and they were found at a public-house in a direction totally different to that which they said they were going to take. Clarkson, the keeper of the public.house, and his wife, deposed !o the receiving !;se £5 note, and NVharton, the constable, to the apprehension of the prisoners. Mr. Lee, Inspector of Notes to the Bank of England, proved :hat the notes handed t• him were forgeries upon the Yank. Both the prisoners were then found Guilty.. Two persons, of the names of David Charles and Joseph Nicholson, were indicted on the same charge; but after a few observat ons between Mr. SCARLLIT and Mr. Justice BAYLEY, the case was act proceeded in, and the prisoners were acquitted. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Janes Hayward was capitally indicted fur having feloniciusly killed and slain Jane, bit wife, on the :16th July last. It appeared in evidence, that the prisorer and his wife were walking home from Gorston, near Manchester, in a state n?itller tipsy nor sober; that they walked along for a certain distance as lovinly as husband and wife are wont to do on such occasinns, but that all of a sudden the wife fetched her espouse a blow, which so kindled his wrath, that he fetched her another under t. e ear, and of which she never lived to complain.— After she fell, her husband called for her to arise, but she made no answer to the call ; she was lifeless, and no more. The husband again called her by the most endearing names, but love and life had fled together, and she spoke no more. The surgeon who inspected the body said, in his opi nion the death of the deceased - was occasioned by the blow under the left ear, which left a livid mark, and produced a great extravasation of blood. r The prisoner, in his defence, called the father of Ns wife, who said that the prisoner had been a remarkably , nood husband and father, and had always treated his wife very well. In fact, the witness could not say whe ther he felt more at the sorrow of the prisoner or at the death of his wile.—Verdict—Guilty. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, taking all the circumstances into his con •sideration, looking at the provocation the prisoner had received, and at his character for good conduct, sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonment. CORK, AUGUST 13. John Hearne was capitally indicted for abusing the person of Mary Connolly, on Sunday, the 29th of May last, at Rath, near Cloyne. The prisoner was a decent and rather a respectable looking young man. The -prosecutrix was a strong, healthy-looking girl, apparently about twenty years of age, and appeared quite capable of defending herself. When she gave her evidence she had on her three large shawls, a thick stuff gown, a linsey-woolsey apron, a cap, without a bonnet, and a large blue cloak, the hood of which was thrown over her head. tier face was not disagreeable, but wanted delicacy of expression. Mary Connolly examined by the prosecuting attor ney, through the medium of an Irish interpreter.—l know the prisoner, and am sorry I do know him. I lived in service at his brother's house; the prisoner lived there, and had part of the farm. I recollect the', 29th of May, and have good reason to recollect it.— {Pretending to cry). There was nobody in the house but I. and the prisoner, and a one-year old child that I was minding. It was about twelve o'clock. Prisoner bolted the door ; got hold of rr.e, and I struggled with him_(Here witness made some vay faces, and pre tended to cry). I did not struggle much. When he bolted the door ail my spirits and courage went out of on e, What's the good of telling. it ? Anybody may under stand.—(Al ter a good deal of this sort of parrying she was brought to describe the offence). I unbolted' tile door, went nut, and met my mother, and told her how I had been used. She told me to go back, and stay till my mistress came home, to see if I could set any recompense for the ill-usage I Lad got on Sun day. I told my mistress on the Nlond y that I did not. want to stay Viith her any longer, and si.e gave me a good character. • Would not the man be a good match for you ? N"." , uld you not like to marry hint ?—I don't • want anything about marrying or ei,tistening l Lain after my credit. Would you nut have made it up for money am looking after ,my credit, not money. I wouldn't make it tip for all tb. nit:nil I * nuld put here—(holding up her apron)---not for all the money in th world. Is not marriage the best way to get your Credit?—Whstsornever the Gentlemen are pleased to do, I have no objections—( A laugh). Did not a man see you and the prisoner together?—f knew/ who you mean; the colder. He's not to be believed. He served a girl in the same way. By Mr. Baron PitOIZTATHEILTITy mother wished me to stay till my mistress came home, that I might be rightyied. D , she mean by rightyled that she wi s h e d hi m t o 'starry you ? I don 't n t know what she meant; but anything your Honour* think proper. Did the prisoner sleep in the same house with you after he had ill-used you?—The prisoner's bed and blighter-in-law's bed (put ting her hands apart about three feet) were as close together as this, and it is not likely I would do anything out of the way. Ellen Connolly, a wild-looking, half-dressed woman, with a blue cloak hanging from her head • loosely over ter shoulders, and with a large glibbe, or roll of hair on her forehead, was then examined. She deposed in Irish as follows :—I am the mother of Mary Connolly ; I went to her master's house on the day in question, and found my daughter sitting by the cradle; the man that wron ge d h er was t h ere sitting on" the table ; I asked her what was the matter, for she looked teased ? we went out of the house, and she told me. After some other witnesses were examined, Mr. Baron PENNETATHER briefly charged the Jury, who retired to consider of their verdict. While the Jury was out of Court, the prisoner's Counsel applied to the Judge fee his permission to slffer the prisoner to be triar ried to the prosecutrix I His Lordship objected for some time, but upon being very urgently importuned, and being told it had been frequently permitted by other Judges in that Court, he said they might get mauled if they liked. He should not notice it. The pri soner was then taken from the bar to theJudge'scham ber, where the happy couple waited in anxious expects tion for the Priest who was to bind them together in holy wedlock. On the arrival of the Rev. Gentleman, he took a stole (a long stripe of silk with a Cross painted in the middle of it) from his pocket. Having adjusted his prayer-book and laid it reverently upon the table, he kissed the Cross upon the stole and put it over his shoul ders. He then proceeded to address the prisoner—that is, the intended husband--who seemed to be debating in his mind whether he Would suffer himself to be hanged or married. "Now, my boy," said the Priest, " you must not take any notice of what has took place to-day." (The prisoner cast a glance at the woman, but it was not a look of love).• " Sure," continued his Reve rence, " you can't blame her for endeavouring to get a good husband ! A likely boy, too, as you are" (sur veying him from his heels to his head, and then from his head to his heels). "Ah ! my lad, now I knbw you will make her a good husband, and love her and cherish her, and be an honest, industrious boy. And you" (turn ing to the woman)" will make him a good wife, won't you? Ah ! forget all that is past, and live together happily." Upon the conclusion of this friendly address, the Priest made inquiries foe aring. A Gentleman present asked if there was no dandy in the room that would lend his finger ring ? Some one suggested that a split ring from a watch chain would do; when the High Sheriff, with great courtesy and good humour, immediately prepared to disengage his. Before, however, 'he could do this, another Gentleman laid a split ring upon the table, upon which a spectator observed—" Blood and ouns, man, don't have that ; take the Sheriff's, for the luck of the thing." This advice being complied with, the happy couple were directed to go upon their knees, and the Priest took the stole from his own shoulders, and laid it across their heads. He then asked the man if he would have the woman for his wedded wife, providing " our holy mother the Church" would permit? To this question, however, the poor fellow made no answer, but looked unutterable things-- 44 Why don't you say I will?" said the priest. " muttered the prisoner, the fear of the gallows evidently overcoming his reluctance to be married. The same question was then put to the Lady; but the poor girl, although in her " endeavouring to get a husband," she had sworn most positively she could not speak English, replied, without the least hesitation, and without any sock modesty—l WILL. The other part of the cere mony was then gone through, without the bride ever feeling at a loss for English, in which to make her re sponses. This union was all completed in the course of five or six minutes. On the happy couple leaving the room, the Priest who is Chaplain to the gaol, anxiously inquired how he was to be paid? A person said he might put it down to the county; but this suggestion did nqt seem at all to satisfy the Rev. Gentleman. 4,The prisoner being again placed at the bar, the foreman of the „Jury declared in a loud voice, that they found him Not Guilty. This verdict was given without any reference to the prisoner's marriage, of which the Jury knew nothing. When the man wassabout to leave the dock, several of the male prisoners attempted to kiss him, but he rejected their caresses with the utmost disdain. It is customary in this country for the pri. aunt s in the dock to kiss a man who has just been tried, previous to his leaving the Court. A Liverpool Paper states, that the followers of Jo hanna Southcote, have bought an Egyptian ass. We should have thought an animal of that sort was the last thing they could want. An Inquest was held at the Stag, Castle -street, West minster, on the body of Elizabeth Harris, aged 22 1 who, in a state of intoxication, fell asleep at her lodg ings in Ship -court, Peter -street, when her clothes caught fire from the candle; on awaking she ran into the street, and two pails of water were thrown over her, and she was conveyed to the Westminster Infirmary, where she died. Verdict—Accidental Death. The history of the old church of Pancras is not a little singular—lt is one of the oldest in Middlesex, and the parish it belongs to, one of the largest, being eighteen miles in circumference. The name was sent from Rome by the Pope expressly for this church, which has the only general Catholic burial-ground in England, and Mass is daily said in St. Peter's at Rome, for the repose of the faithful whose bodies are deposited therein; it was also the last church in England whose bell tolled for Mass, or in which any Catholic rites were celebrated. YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY.—A shop-boy in the employ of Mr. John Alford, draper, of Bradford, having been corrected for some offence, attempted on Friday last to seek his revenge by poisoning his master. For this purpose he went into a druggist's shop, and actually stole a parcel marked " poison." This he put into a bucket of water, from which the kettle was filled for tea; and on the family (consisting of five persons) par taking of it, they all became sick. Mr. Adye, a re spectable surgeon, was sent for, who administered some medicine, and very fortunately removed the cause. Oil analyzing the water, poison was clearly discerned. Suspicion at once fell on the boy, who has since con fessed, and is now in prison. . . _ A Royal Sardinian edict directs that henceforth no person shall le,un to read or write who cannot prove the posscssiott of property above the v.due of 1,500 li, about sttt ling.

Total imports, 514,5571. -- •?~ fl ems'►'-_' NEW BRUNSWICK. By the Legislature of New Brunswick, during last Session, a law WAS passed, which is of a singular, cer tainly of a prejudicial character. It provides that, for the purpose of encouraging ship-building, every builder shall employ, in his yard, at least two apprentices, under a penalty of 50/. for every vessel of 100 tops burden or upwards, built where such apprentices are not employed. This is carrying legislation a great deal too far. If it be to the advantage of a master to employ apprentices, self-interest will be a sufficient inducement, and there is no need for the Legislature to interfere: if nit,, then the compulsion of a statute forcing upon him a species of labour less productive than he could otherwise obtain will injure, not advance the trade. QUEBEC, JULY 4. COUNTERFEITERS.—It is known that gangs of coun terfeiters have long resorted to the townships in this province, on the fiontiers of the United States, to carry on their infamous practices. Imagining themselves out of the reach of the province line against the United States' laws, they have considered their establishments there as in some me 'sure secure, and although fre quently interrupted, they have still carried them on with too much impunity. By the activity of Mr. E. T. G. Stod fert,.Preventive Officer of his Majesty's Customs, one of their gangs has been broken up, and four of those concerned committed to prison at Sherbrooke. On the information given by Mr. Stoddert to Major Kilbourn, Captain Chamberlain, and Mr. Farnsworth, Bailiff, proceeded on the morning of the 27th ult. to Stanstead Plain, with Mr. Stoddert, where the inhabitants cheerfully turned out to the num ber of about thirty, and surrounded four houses where the counterfeiting was supposed to be carried on, viz. the house of the noted Morrel Magoon, jun. Verbic, sen. and Calvin Verbic; some of the inmates fled to the woods, but were afterwards taken. A press, rollers, whitening, ink, and other materials, for making notes, were seized in a camp in the woods. A box was also taken with plates and notes to the amount of 1322 dol lars, on the Cumbtrland Bank, Rhode Island Bank, and Smithfield Bank., The public cannot but feel much indebted to the in dividuals concerned in breaking up this den of rogues, for although the notes found were on American Banks, the practices of the counterfeiters are not the less dis graceful to the province and discreditable to the spot where they find refuge. ALBANY PIER AND BASIN. The pier in front of the city, the construction of which was authorised by an Act of the. Legislature of this State, passed April the sth, 1823, is nearly completed. Its extreme length is nearly 4,400 feet—its width is 80 feet, and its height averages about 20 feet. It runs in front of the old docks, at an average distance of about 250 feet, and incloses a basin, the area of which mea sures about 32 acres, capable of holding about 1,000 canal boats, and 50 or 60 vessels of the largest class usually employed in the navigation of the Hudson river. Near the northern or upper end of the pier, the Erie and Champlain canals, which unite about eight miles and a half north of the city, are terminated by a lock, through which boats and other craft enter the basin. At the southern termination of the pier is a sloop lock, 177 feet in length, and 30 feet in width, having a depth of 11 feet at the lowest stage of water. There is a convenient swing bridge over the lock, and two other bridges are now constructing, running from two of the principal streets across the basin, which will furnish convenient avenues to the pier. Each bridge will have a draw to admit the passing of vessels. The facilities afforded to commercial transactions between canal-boats and river-vessels are strikingly ob vious. A perfect harbour is formed by the pier, which secures the canal craft from the violence of storms, and a capacious basin will at all times accommodate the vast commerce which, although at present in its in fancy, is destined to become of incalculable importance when the chain of navigable communication is per fected to the great lakes and the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the consummation of which is at no very re mote period. A slight view of the advantages which will be the immediate result of this great local improvement, made by a few enterprising individuals, naturally leads the mind to contemplate its immense consequence, when the Albany basin shall become the principal depot of a commerce which, the Canal Commissioners estimated in their last annual report, would produce in tolls in the year 1826, the sum of 500,000 dollars, and that for the nine following years their increase will be at the rate of 75,000 dollars annually. All estimates hitherto made of canal tolls have fallen short of the actual receipts. There is, therefore, every reason to anticipate a result which will justify the estimate of the Commissioners. The city of Albany is nearly at the head of the navi gable tide-water of the Hudson, and is situated on its western bank, at the termination of the great canals, which, when completed, will form a chain of navigable communication through Lakes Ontario, Erie, Michi gan, Huron, and to the Sault of St. Mary on Lake Su perior, and including Champlain, a line of navigation of neatly 2,000 miles. With the prospective advantages to be derived from a commerce with this extensive l e. gion of country, and anticipating a canal navigation with the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, which will augment to an immense magnitude the commerce of our great canals, it follows as a natural consequence, that with these increasing resources, capital and enterprise are the only desiderata for making this city a highly commercial and prosperous place. When the Barons de ROTHSCHILD arrived at Calais, on their way from Paris to London, they agreed with the Captain of the Lord Melville steam-packet, for themselves and suite, to the number of '2B persons, to be conveyed safely to the Tower Stairs for 150 guineas They had not, however, got far to sea, when it came on to blow hard, and several of the Ladies becoming quilmish, never, as we understand, having been at sea b:fore, the Captain was directed to make for ltamsgate harbour, where the party was landed, and proceeded to town in 'carriages. The steam packet immediately put ,ack•to Calais, and took on board the passengers who I h.al befute been disappointed. 7 TlL ein k: ARM*.

A SCUTCH CANUTE. From a life of the notorious Paul Jones, lately pub lished in the United States, we extract the follow?ng ac count of his descent on the British coast at Whitehaven About the time that lones visited Whitehaven, he went round to the *Firth of Forth, and made his ap pearance off the harbour - of Kirk tidy, a noted small town on the borders of Fifeshire (called by the Scotch the Lang toun o' Kirkaldy,' owing to its length). No other enemy, however formidable, could have created in the minds of the inhabitants, such consternation and alarm as that which then approached. Paul .tones was the dread of all, old and young, (pamphlets of hir de predations were as common in every house as al manacks.) He was looked upon ias a sea'.monster, tbat swallowed up all that came in his power. The people all Rocked to the shore to watch his movements, ex pecting the worst consequences. Thete was an old Presbyterian Minister in the place, a very pions . Ind good old man, but of a most singular and eccentric turn, especially in addressing the Derry, to whom he would speak with as much familiarity as he would to an old farmer, and seemingly without respect, as will appear from the following. He was soon 'seen Inakiog his way through the people with an old black oak arm • chair, which he lugged down to low water-mark (the tide flowing), and sat down in it. Almost* out of breath, and rather in a passion, he then began to address the DEITY, in the following singular vav : " Now, deed Lord, dinna ye think it'. a shame for ye to send this vile piret to rub our folk o' Kirkaldy ? for ye ken they're a' puir enough already, and ha'e naething to spaire. They are a' gaily guid, and it wad be a peety to wive theM in sic in a way. The way the man blaws, he'll be here in a jar, and wha kens what he may do? He's nane too guid for onything. illeickle's the mischief he has dune already. Ony pecket gear they ha'e gathered thegither he will gang wi' the heal o't ; may buin their Nooses, tak their vary cites, and tirl them to the sark ; and wae's me! wha kens but the bluidy villain might tak their lives. The puir weemen are maist freightened out o' their wuts, and the bairns skirling after them. I canna tholt ! t canna' the ls: I ha'e been fang a faithfu' servant to ye, Loan ; but gin ye dinna turn the wun about, and blaw the scoundrel out of our gate, I'll no stilt a fit, but will joist sit here, until the tide comes at:d drowns me. Sae tak yere wul o't." It may be well to add, that the wind changed about the time of the honest parson's supplication. i SPORTING INTELLIGEA CR. HEREFORD RACES—Amen 17.
