INTELLIGENCE. ASSIZE YORK, AUGUST 6. Abraham Bair:lqm, aged 60, ot the iiiirishpf Bradford, in the West Riding, stood charged by the s Coroner's In 'quest with the wilful murder of Sarah Ba;rsjow, his wife- Mr.At.asAnaza stated the indictment on the pert of the Crewe. After the Jury had been sworn, The CLeaz ot the AIMAIGN3 informed his 'Lordship, that one of the Jurymen wished to withdraw, on account - Of his being a near neighbour of the prisoner. Mr. Baron Huu.occ—That is no objection, in law • but if the prisoner's Counsel has no objecti on , th e J uror ' h a y w ithdraw. DIT. JONI, consented. After another Juryman had been added, and the Jury re-sworn, the cue proceeded. Mr. Art:canoes then said, the prisoner, he believed, was not coaspos mistratis. Mr. COLTMAN (who was also for the prisoner) skid, he believed the prisoner had never spoke since he had been confined in the Castle. Gaoler—He never has, my Lord, JUDO; to the Gaoler—Dues be seem to hear? Gaoler—No, my Lord. Juno; to the prisoner—Do you hear what Is said 2—The prisoner looked vacant and never spoke. Gaoler—l understand he has not spoken for four years. Juncc—l must impannel the Jury, to know whether he is mute by the visitation and providence of GOD, or sullenness in refusing to plead, and be cannot be tried until he pleads to the indictment. The Jury were then re-sworn to try hint under his Lordship's direction. Mr. Cocrrears—' , I will soon show that, my Lorcb" and called Jeremiah Haley—Witneu knows the prisoner at the bar very well ; has known him fifty years. knew the wife of the deceased. They lived happily together before the murder took place, and had several children. They were respectably off. Has known him in this state twenty years. His case has required persons to take care of him. The prisoner's wife has had the care of him. It is several years now since he has spoken to him ; but he has seen him within this year or two. He is overseer of the poor at Bradford. He is not capable of knowing what he does. Jooon—Can . he say aye or no! Witness—l asked him when► I first cam* Into the Castle, if he knew ins ? he said, yes. The Learned Gentleman then called ad examined prisoner's sea His father had been in this state of mind for ten years. He spoke to him on the Monday before be came to York. He isid, a be quiet." Junes—Yoe saw him before that time? Witness—Yes; I put several questions to him, but he got out of my way. He would speak now and then. We thought him out of his mind. Junan--CaU some, other witness. Joseph Bairslow—He is another sun. His father has been ont of his mind for these ten years. Seven years ago he spoke so as to be understood. Witness—He has had a strait-jacket put upon him. I scarcely ever get an answer from him. Have seen him once since he came to York. We tried to get an answer, but with no effect. Juan—Gentlemen of the Jury, you must try the prisoner whe ther he stands mute by the visitation and providence of GOD, or otherwise, before which he cannot be put on his trial. The Jury consulted, and repUed, " We had, my Lord, he stands mute by die visitation of Goa." The plea of Not Guilty was then recorded. The prisoner was afterwards tried on the Coroner's Inquest. Clerk of the Arraigns—Gentlemen of the Jury, look upon the prisoner, and say whether be is guilty of the felony and murder of which he stands charged. Mr. ALEILANDZA proceeded to calla principal witness, of the name of John Stead; who not answering, The Jurors said—Let him be called on his recognizance, and if he does not appear let them be estreated ; and they were accordingly. Mr. Cu/sun—This is the only witness, my Lord; and tar. Alexander said without this witness the trial could not proceed. Junos—Hu he been subpanaed ? Mr. Atuainsnii—Me Is bound by his recognisance to appear and give evidence. Jtiona---I shall order the recognilanee then to be ustreated. There is no witness far the Crown, and I am consequently precluded frost trying the prisoner. I shall allow no costs. It was afterwards explained that the witness was unduidably absent, and the costs were allowed.r—The Jury, under his Lord ship's direction, found the prisoner ltd Guilty. After which his Lordship said—" I have now no contrail over the prisoner, and be must be delivered to his Mends." When a Gentleman addressed his Lordship and said, if the prisoner's friends found him unmanageable, they would take care and plate him in an asylum for lunatics. Susannah Toupin, aged 35, late of Kingston-upon-Hull, stdbd capitally Indicted for the wilful murder of Ann, the wife of WilllafM Turpin (her mother-in-law), at the parish of Saint Mary, en the 16th day of Mardis, by poison who was removed by virtue of a writ of Habeas Corpus to the C astle of York, on the 20th July last. The prisoner, it appeared, bad made a cake and sent it by a child, in which cake was contained two drams of arsenic, and of which the deceased and child partook, but only Ann Turpin died from its effects. The prisoner on being called an to plead, said, "0,1 am not guilty, I am not indeed!" Application was then made to his Lordship to postpone the trial until the next Assizes, on the ground that the principal witness was of too tender years to understand the nature of an oath, and the trial was postponed accordingly.

BREACH Or PROMISE OP MARRIAGE. Mr. BLACXEURN opened the pleadings, and Mr. Baouomibt :rafted the case to the Jury. It was brought, said the Learned Counsel, for a breach of promise of marriage, under an engagement in writing, given by the defendant, when he well knew what he was doing and the engagement he had entered into. The plaintiff was the daughter of a poor widow woman, Sarah Mal loy. The plaintiff had been a servant in the employ of the defendant's father and mother, who resided at New Hall, near Sheffield. The defendant, Richard Swallow, conceived a •iolent attachment for her, and agreed in writing to marry her, which promise he had given to the ear, but broken to the hope; this action was brought for a compensation of that breach of fromise. The Learned Gentleman then called, _ _ _ Wm. Ashman, who proved that the parties had been to his house and had dinner, where the defendant met the plaintiff; he was 28 years of age, he believed, and had known him twenty years. The witness then de scribed, that the Clergyman at Sheffield bad refused to marry them without the consent of his parents ; he al. `terwards said he would not marry, but give her 5001. in lieu thereof. Cross-examined by Mr. ScAnt.wrT.—Had heard her say, if he did not marry her she should have 40001. he did not think the young man a weak person, but should not think him clever in giving such an instrument. Re-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—He knows Rich ard Swallow's hand-writing; the defendant is a man of property, and has a colliery; he has managed the busi ness three or four years; he is a man of great property. Martha Swallow examined by Mr BROUGHAM—She married the brother of the defendant on the 27th of March, 1823 ; she knew the plaintiff; they lived toge ther as fellow-servants in the same house; they were at Mr. Ashman's on the 28th of March all together, where the defendant said he would marry her, and never run off his promise, although his uncle Parker had advised him never to marry her; had heard that the plaintiff had had a child, and that the defendant had said he thought her none the worse for that. Cross-examined by Mr. SCAnterr.—Her age is 24. She has lived in two' places before. She was under maid, and Sarah was house-ittaid: She did not gain the affections of John so soon as Sarah did those of Richat d. He told her he did tint want his papers back.l She never thought him a ninny. The plaintiff told wit- 1 ness she had had a child by the butler in the family where she lived; she thought her none the worse for that. The butler was a married nun. She did not get a contract from 'John, as Sarah had done from Richard. She never set, her cap at him herself. Her husband: John, was sober when he married. Sarah had eight guineas a-year.;-- - Agreement put in and read " I. Richard Stirallow,d, agree to marry Sarah Malloy, or fur- Mt all Ply property.—Feb. 444, 824." The defendant, it aipeartd, had made an appointment to meet the plaintiff ; and not being able to keep his word, he wrote Vie following love epistle : " My dear Sarah—You will feel by no means surprised at my not coming over at sight o'clock, according to appointment—don't be afraid I shall rail away from my word. My mother keeps a good look out, and father is on the watch—make yourself comfort able, and I will never forsake you. I hope I shall net be in prison long. Your ewer faithful lover, , " Ilicomto SWALLOW." " P.S. I hope to call you my Wife very soon, when all your troubles will be over." But then came the one That was to blast her affec tions, couched in these cold and laconic words : Miss Sarah Malloy—Aftfr I saw you at Sheffield, I pondered on the great impropriety I hifd been guilty of, and which has set my friends against me. I shall not marry you, and therefore won't deceive you any more., 'My friends say . I shall not marry any per son so inferior to myself. I hope you will not trouble yourself any more about me. ....... " P.S. My servant will Lit you for some papers." Mr. SCA RLETT replied, and said it was a paltry action, brought by a servant for the evident purpose of gain. What did she want, the man or , the money ?—why the money to be sure, 40001. aye, " There's the rub." What would the Jury think of this case ? Where was his Learned Friend's tears, his sighs—he had shed none, nor heaved his bosom at the dreadful tale. Where were the blighted hopes of his client, her loss of time, the trifled affections of the heart ? It was a conspiracy be. tween the two servants, and nothing else, to make a fortune. What did Sarah say, why, he, the defendant, should not have his papers back under 4,0001. This was her loss; and it would now be seen what damages the Jury would give under such circumstances as thee. It was a catching bargain, and reminded him of a case (probably a York one) where a person bad agreed to sell a horse at a farthing a nail, doubled every time. The JUDGIL—That would be a Million twice doubled. Mr. Scant.Err--.This was just such a case—a catch ing bargain. The Jury retired, and in half an hour brought in their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. WINCHESTER, AUGUST 6. Richard Ventham and James Batt were indicted for stealing a sheep, the property of H. Collis, on the 22d February, 1822; in the parish of King's Somborne. The depositions of the two prisoners before the Magis trate, confessing to having stolen the sheep, were put in, and tit e Jury found the prisoners Guilty. The Learned JUDGE observed,that there were no fewer than eleven cases of sheep-stealing in the calendar. It was due to the public security that an example should be made of these offenders, and sentenced the prisoners to transportation for life. Joseph Hiltoa, Thomas Ranee, and Jecaimah Smith, were indicted, the two former for burglariously break ing and entering the dwelling-house of T. Dowling, in the parish of Eling, in this county, in the night be tween the 27th and 28th of July, and stealing therein certain articles of wearing apparel and an umbrella, his property ; and the latter was indicted for receiving part of the same, knowing them to have been stolen. The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. STAFFORD, AUGUST 7. WA. T 5 ler, aged 18, was indicted for setting fire to a cotton-mill, the property of Sir Robert Peel, Bart.-.,The prisoner was a very deeent-leteiring lad. SFr. Ounwoon listed tie ease for the prosecution. The prosecu tOr occupied a cotton-8118 at Fazeley, as tenant of Sir Robert Peel ; that Mill was burnt downiander such circumstances as left no doubt that the fire did not arise from accident. A witness would indeed prove a confession by the prisoner of the actual fact, but he ought to say that this witness was not one of so respectable a description as might be wished, th:refore they would consider whether this witness was sufficiently corroborated. It would appear clear that the prisoner was drinking at a public-house so late as twelve o'clock at night, and be said that be had then gone to bed at Tamworth, but it would appear that he was at the fire at an hour so early as to make that impossible, and this witness (a young woman) would state that on seeing hit* the next morning, she observed It was a bad job. He said it was, but the Fire-office would pay it. She said, " Had you any share in the job ?" He said, " Yes ;he knew where to find the keys of the mill, and that he lighted some waste cotton, and threw it among some more, and then threw the candle and lantern into the mill-dam. No candle or lantern were found in the mill-dam ; but a candle and lantern were found in a neighbour ing well, and 'with regard to his saying he knew where to find the keys, he would state that the head overseer, to avoid being die tubed in the mornings, used to hide the keys. where he knew that the man who used to light the fires of the mill would find them. Mr. John Hunter, who occupies the mill. deposed to the fire not having been accidental. Rachel Fletcher, King's evidence, who appeared to be about six teen years of age, examined—Remembered the night of the fire; prisoner went home with her and stopped till ten o'clock. Hymns were sung at Mrs. Gibson's, next door to our house, and I went out to hear them, and saw the prisoner; I observed that the prisoner had a lantern under his jacket ; it was lighted ; I asked him where he was going? he replied it does not matter to you where I am going ; he went along the wooden bridge, towards Mr. Hunter's fac tory ; it was nearly eleven o'clock; I remember the mill being on fire; I heard the cry when I was in bed; on the next day, that is the Sunday, I saw the prisoner, at about two o'clock, on some timber facing Henry Jenkins' door, where I lodged. He looked very (tightened. I told him it was a shocking thing that this fire had happened. He at first made no answer, and when I asked him again, he bade me hold my tongue, or he should be found out. We walked cloven to the Navigation Bridge. I said how could any one get into the factory? He said any one could soon get in, for the keys lay withiaside the gates. I asked Mtn how he did it, and he said he had good waste, and rubbed it in oil, and set it on fire. I said what a loss to Mr. Hunter it would be.—He aid—he be damued, it would be no loss to him, for there was a Fire-office who would make it good to him. I said what a spite it was to Mr. Hunter. lie said no spite at all, for the Fire-office makes it good. He said fur ther, that after he had set it on fire, he had thrown the lantern and candle into the mill dam. _ _ . by the prisoner, The witness underwent a long and re•examifiation by the Learned Judge. Other witneues were examined, and the prisoner put in a written defence, which was read by Mr. Bet.Lastr. The defence asserted an alibi, and added, that the girl was un • worthy of belief, she being a common prostitute, and had been turned away.by different masters, and been guilty of stealing a shawl. The prisoner desired that William Faulkener, who had been ori ginally indicted with the prisoner, but against whom the bill had not been found, should be examined as a witness. He was accordingly called, and stated, that the prisoner and he had been in company on the evening in question, and that they had gone home together. Mr. Justice Lirrianar.x summed up the evidence, and observed, that there appeared to be no motive for the prisoner to have com mitted the offence; and the question was, whether they believed Rachel Fletcher, for if they did not, there was by no means suffi cient evidence to justify their finding the 'prisoner guilty ; and even if they thought it doubtful whether she ought to be believed or not, they should acquit. The Jury having consulted together for some time, found the prisoner NW GuiLl44 An article from Copenhagen says, that the Princess Royal of Dewstaas: was to be married to the Prince of OLDIMULIPLO. The following strange story appears in the Cork Chro• ;tide; how the escape from drowning and the sinking to ri-e no more, are to be reconciled, we know not: Saturday morning, three young female children, while bathing at the brick-fields, narrowly escaped being drovrned: - Through some accident they were drawn into the deep water, and one of them had actually sunk to rime no more before their cries or perilous situation had arrested the attention of some young men who were bathing a short distance from the place, two of whom swam with all speed to their assistance , and fortunately, though with much difficulty, brought the bodies NW More Ur IRELAND. • • WEXFORD ASSIZES, AUGUST 3. HORRIBLE FANATICISM. „Lb* Cantu, Nicholas Widen", and James Leverets:, were Pl 2 eoft at the bat, and indicted for the murder of Catherine Sinnot. The unt-mentinned prisoner (Carroll) was then asked, in the u►ual Wily; whether he was guilty or not guilty? but he returned no :ittiwar: He was then asked had he heard thkindictmetit read? btu he eou timed silent. A second and third time the question of " Are yon . guilty or not guilty;?" was put to him, without obtaining any answer.

The trial w:ls pastponed till nest day, it having been ascertains that Mr. O'Coutietz, who was Counsel fur the prisoners, was ice • gaged at the time in the other Court. Wednesday the three prisoners w..ry again placed at the bar, together with Patrick Pare!, Z khakis Costa:, and Waller Scalia*, wl.o had surrendered themselires the preceding evening. The prisoners would not join in their challenges, but were all tried together. Mr, Museum., King's Counsel, stated the case, which he described as one of the most distressing that ever came before a Criminal Court of Justice, and without a parallel in British or Irish history. William Furling, examined by , Mr. Dotter -Tr, deposed to the farts of the case, which did not differ from those stated in the Semi.. From two to three hundred persons were assembled to see Father Carroll perform his miracles; some were kneeling, and some surd ing ; heard some of the people say," Jesus strengthen the roan." The woman, Moran, was laying speechless on the ground. Father Carroll came up with his hat off, looked at her for some time, then stamped twice with his foot, aqd said," Begone." The Priest then threw himself on his back, and rubbed the back of his hand on the gravel until it bled. He then got up, and, standing over Mrs, hlo ran's head, exclaimed—" Jesus, Jesus, Jesus !—Father, Father Father, assist me!" The majori t y o f p etsons p resent rema i ne d kneeling all the time. Father Carroll then proceeded to Sinnott's house, which was crowded ; he could not see the Priest, but heard water dashing about the room ; saw the Priest aft. rwards in bed ; the child was under the tub; Mr. Carroll was standing on the top of the tub, and he sometimes leaped and pranced upon the tub. Afterwards took off his stocking, and whistled a hurr.pipe. At four o'clock the witness (Purling) took the Priest away. The child frequently called out to her parynts to save her; did nit in terfere when he saw the Priest on the tub; when he was first going into the room Karel, one of the prisriners, asked whether be was mad or drunk ? and desired him to keep out of the way, as the Priest was at that moment going to expel a devil, and that he (the devil) might hurt witness in his passage out of the room. At this time the people had formed a passage to let the devil pass. Witness thought Father Carroll mad, though he suffered him to sit on the child. In his cross-examination he again stated, that the reason why a passage was made in the crowd was to allow the devil to pass from the ehild.—(Here the whole of the prisoners, with the exception of Carroll, burst out laughing). Philip Walsh was nett examined ; he was sure neither the Priest nor the other prisonersintended to hurt the child t when the tub' was upset On ohe child, Father Carroll said, with a loud vacs, " Bury him. Jesus, in the depth of tbr. Red Sea," meaning the devil. Witness would not Swear that he did not think Carroll capable of working miracles. Thomas Sinnott, the father of she child, was thetspo witness.— He deposed to the general belief that Father Carroll 6411 performed several miracles; he did not ask the Priest why be Miled,his.dxllll 4 , as he thought he would return and bring it to life !

Doctor Deverenx was examined for the defence—Had knows Father Carrell for 14 years; be laboured under " a determination of blood to the head, a confusion of ideas, and impaired memory, and he considered him incapable of understanding even simple subjects." Witness saw him by accident on the 9th of July, kneel ing in" the gripe of a ditch by the road side, with his hat off, and covered with dust ; he was then apparently much deranged."

LIMERICK ASSIZF.S, AUGUST & Miami Afttlamey Was indicted for a rape on Mary Wl' Mahon, at Mungret, on the Bth of November last. The ptosecutrix, a mild, good-humoured, and well looking girl, proved the offence, which was committed on the above evening, in a garden, at Mengret ; she gave her evidence in a clear and saris. factory manner, and exhibited none of that forward pertness obaerm. able in, cases of this kind. The perpetrator absconded next morning. Counsel for the defence could elicit nothing affecting the direct examination. They appeared very anxious that the matter might be settled by a marriage between the parties, before the trial would go any further. One Witness, in the course of his evidence, deposed that a marriage was about taking place before the trial; but that the Priest refused, and he could not tell why, Mr. Boyce inti mated to the Judge his belief that there was a rule in the Roman Catholic Church which prohibited the marriage of persons under any confinement or restraint. The Learned Strum denied this, and mentioned a fact within his own knowledge, of a marriage having her celebrated under exactly similar circumstances, in the Judge's Chamber, county Cork, when three priests were present at the ceremony, and the ./ury, at the time, engaged in consultation upon the case. Here the conversation ceased, and his Lordship charged the Jury, who retired. In the interim a clergyman was procured for the purpose, and the parties were married in the Judge's room—after which his Lordship or dered the Jury to be recalled, and stated, that from circumstances that bad since come within his observation, he would recommend them to acquit the prisoner. A German, having been shewn Mount Edgcumbe, and magnificently entertained with sea-Ash, exclaimed--" For my part, I like fiat countries, and fresh-water fish. Monday last, S. Turner. of Stroud, was fined for not resorting on the previous Sunday to a place of worship, having no reasonable excuse to be absent.

Absence from morning or evening service is equally punishable with total absence ; he who is absent from his own parish church, shall be obliged to prove what place of worship he attended.- 1 Hawk. c. 10. 1.4.
