HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is insured by marriage; "the strictest tie of perpetual Friend. ship." is a gift from Heavth, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association, with celestial intelligence." Previous, however,.to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be hokler,should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effentinize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, • from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of rPlief. To all such then, we address out selves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the nniltiplied proofs of 20 years' successful experience. The easy cat es of married life a r e sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath —for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power.

Dr. Trotter had been called to examine the body of the deceased, upon which he found several mat ks of violence—on the legs, chest, and other partial the body, particularly on the neck and chest—conceives the de ceased came by her death by direct pressui e on the chest and neck, producing strangulationher clothes were all torn and dirty.. Witness saw the prisoner at the Inquest, and examined his person, on which were several fresh marks of violence ; one side of his upper lip was nearly severed—there were several •eratches on his face.—(Witness here detailed the result of a more minute examination of prisoner's person, which is unfit for publication, but which seemed to complete the chain of circumstances by which his guilt was e,tahlished). Criss-examined—lklieves the prisoner came voluntarily to the • Inquest. Here the case closed for the prosecution. The prisoner called I no witnascs. Lord 1401111.1 RT charged the Jury, after which they retired for a f.:w minutei, and returned a verdict of Gulity. The Judge then proceeded to pass' the awfnl sentence of the law, in impre•sive and .affecting terms. His Lordship earneciy. entreated the prisoner to lose not a rilomentin sending for his Clergyman, and ordered him to be hanged on the following Thursday (Thursday last), and his body to be given for dissection.' The prisoner was a man of middle size, with sharp and regular features, and aged about forty-three years. He manifested during the entire of the trial the most stupid in , tiffetence,.and when called upon to know *hat he had to say u by sentence of death should not be pro ',minced upon him? be called out loudly for a long day. and remained unmoved dut ing the commencement of the Learned Judge's address. When, however, hi-. Loidship dwelt upon the enormous brutality of the pri s,mer's treatment of so young and evidently so virtuous a gill, who had confided to his protection her safety and her honour, the miserable wretch gave a hysterical yawn, opened his mouth most frightfully, found much difficulty in closing it again, and afterwards continued crying while he remained at the bar. At Ennis Assizes, James Kean, a soldier of the 35th Regiment, was tried for the murder of Patrick Riedy, at Kildysart, on the 31st January. By t h e : examination of several witnesses, it appeared that Kean, and one or two other soldiers, were drinking in a pub lic house, when some disturbance arose between them and the country people who were in . the house; in a scuffle that ensued, Kean stabbed the deceased with his hayonet. (PIINSEPATHER) haying charged the Jury, they retired for• a few minutes, a•nd brought in a vet diet of Manshuditer. His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to transot cation for life; but said, that there were other cis cumstatices which should be considered, and he would reserve to himself the discretion of com muting the sentence, if he found it deserving of it, before he left the town. J a mes M' Namara, Andrew anninghant, Margaret M , Aantara, and Susan M'Nemara, were convicted of assisting Connor Hogan, who has absconder], in vio lating the person of Bridget *Namara. ,They N e:e sentenced to be hanged at Ennis, the Ore. former on' Saturday, the 26th of March, and the latter on Satur day, the Ist of April. A more disgusting instance of :tuman depravity, we believe, was never brought to light, and credulity itself is inclined to question the possibility of the most depraved and brutalized of the female sex taking the part in the transaction which was very clearly proved against those women. A Jury of matrons were impannelled, to try if the two females above-Mentioned were so long pregnant as to render it necessary, according to law, to postpone the execution till after their delivery. The verdict returned by twelve respectable females is, that they are both pregnant, but they could not sty if for a sufficient length of time to requite stay of execution, according to law. At the Sessions of the Peace held at Bantry, on the' 26th of 1 ebruary, where Counsel and Agents attended an behalf of the Catholic Association to conduct apro secution, several Jurors were Objected to, on the ground that the were subscribers to tl , e Catholic Rent. The o'sjections were allowed ; the parties challenged left the Jury-box, others Were substituted, and the trial pro ceede I. The verdict was " Not Guilty." The brother of the prosecutor swore five oaths in the Course of the examination, and was fined one shilling for each oath. LANCASTER, MARCH 12. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF PINNEY, V. ROYLANCE AND ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE,. MEATH (IRELAND.) C. Keegan was indicted for the murder of Ann Feely) by strangling her. Catherine Wood lives at Summer-hill; Ann Feely was her sister; saw her last alive on the Tuesday be fore Christmas day; on that day, witness sent deceased from Summer-hill to Dublin, to sell some wooden ware s ; saw her on Christmas Eve,,when she lay dead on the road, about a quarier of a mile from her house. When the deceased left witness-to go to Dublin, she was gay, and in pct feet. good health ; she was about sixteen ; when witness saw her lying on the road, her clothes were all dirty, and torn to pieces, and her eyes full of gra7el and dirt. Cross-examint:d.—The deceased left Dublin on her return hdoe, with a man named Byrne, a carman; de ceased was never subject to fits or illness; thete was found on the deceased a half-crown, one shilling, and one tenpenny-piece, with some goods under her arm. J. Fitzsimmons, a carman, was in Dublin in Decemher last, and left it two days beure Christmas; kne.v Ann Feely ; she accompanied witness four miles nut of Dublin, on her way-home, and was in good health and spirits ; knows. W. Byrne, a carman—he was coming up with an empty dray, and nothing at all on it, when the deceased asked him, as witness's dray was loaded, if he would give her a " lift". towards home? and Byrne said he would; the deceased then got up on Bytne's dray, and they soon got out of witness's sight. W. Byrne lives within a mile of Summer-hill. (I - I:re witness confirmed the statement of the last witness, as to the deceased having got up on his dray about four miles from Dublin). Prisoner was sitting on a separate dray, and when they came to a public-house on the road between Summer-hill and Durthoyne, called the Hatchet, prisoner and the deceased sat on the same dray; witness and prisonet had five naggius of whiskey at the public-house, between five persons ; the deceaikil took some at different times, about one glass in afr; prisoner pressed her to drink; witness and prisnnei stopped at another public house on the road, after they were at the Hatchet, and had a couple of noggins more of spirits; deceased did not drink any at the last public house; the prisoner and deceased walked and sat upon the dray occasionalfy, and appeared friendly; they sat with their backs to the horses, and were in'eonversa lion, sitting close together ; when the Liras arrived at the moss roads Moynalvy, witness asked the prisoner why he did not go home, as that was his road ? it was then about seven or eight o'clock and dark (23d of D:cember); prisoner said he would go on to the cross road, Spring Valley, and when they came to that place, the prisoner attache deceased left the witness and bid him good night—witness asked deceased if she would be afraid to go h .me in the dark by herself? she was then about a quay ter of a mile from home— the deceased said she would not be atr lid—she was then in good health and spirits—the prisoner and the deceased then w ent together towards Summer hill, which was not the way to the- prisoner's house. —Witness then gave a description of her clothes, which were neither torn nor ditty—plisoner went at least half a mile out of his way, by coming to the crossroads at Spring Valley—witness on going home fell asleep by i the fire, and he was awoke by a knocking at the doJr, when asking who it was, and opening it, the prisoner came in with his coat very wet and dirty, and asked witness to feel the weight of it, it was sowet?—witness did not feel it—prisoner then sat down .it the fife, and afterwards awoke witness to let him out, ate on his going away, desired witness not to say to any pers,or that he had seen him, or that he had been at his (wit ness's house) that night, as lie would not wish it lot fifty shillings—saw the deceased the next morning lying dead on the road, at the corner of the ci ass-road. . f. King knew Ann Feely, and met her on the night but one before Christmas-day, in company ith a man, within dime or four perches of Spring Valley ; the man had his hand round her neck, and witness bid her good night, to which she replied, "good night," kindly. The man did not speak. Shelley, di.covered the body of the deceased on the morning of Christmas•day ; she was lying on her side on the road, and her head on her arm; there were OTHERS. This cause excited much more interest at these As sizes than any other cause in the paper. The Jury was a special ...re, and when the cause was called on, Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. J. WILLIAMS, and Mr. PARK. appeared for the lessor of the plaintiff; and Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. TINDAL, and Mr. D. F. JONES, appeared for the defendants. Mr. PARK opened the pleadings. This was an action of ejectment brought by the lessor of the plaintiff against the defendants, who were unlawfully possessed of certain premises situated at Hanging-gate, in the parish of Manchester. The defendants pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Scarlett) stated the case. This action was brought to recover possession of certa idl property situated in Manchester, and forming part of the estate of the late James Finney, the great uncle of the lessor of the present plaintiff. The lessor of the plaintiff was the son of Peter Davenport Finney, lately deceased, who was the nephew of dames • he (the les sor) was an infant of very tender years, and came in in tail as heir to the estate in question. The only difficulty in the case was, whether that estate, which was admit ted to have been lawfully enjoyed by the lessor's father, now belonged, by law, to the lessor himself? In other words, the great question peas, whether the lessor was the legitimate son of the late Mr. Peter Davenport Fin ney or not ? for if that infant, who was not yet a year old, was the la% fit' issue of that Gentleman, there could I be no question that the estate came to him. This ac- thin wi s l rought thus early in the infant's age, because, if his I i iends waited till he was twenty-one years old, many, if not all of the witnesses who could prove his tide, might have ceased to exist. The mitrriage under ....~=. [ PRICE &NEN PE'CE. which the lessor claimed was made in Scotland. It tne fact of that marriage could he proved, as be h a d no doubt it would be, it was a good marriage in England, and the issue of it was lawful issue, by the laws of this country ; for although the ceremony of marriage was difftrent in different countries, yet, if it were performed according to the established usages of the particular country where it took place, it was a lawful marriage in all other countries whatsoever. The Learned Coun sel then detailed the facts of the case, as they were supported by the following evidence t Mrs. S.trah Simister, a widow, living at Birmingham, deposed to Mr. and Mrs. Finney having lodged in her house in December, 1820, when, on being asked if they were mart ied ? Mr. Finney said no, but that he was under promise of marriage to her, which family cir cumstances prevented him from performing just then, but that he iltended to marry her. Mr. Benjamin Lupton gave evidence as to Mr. Fin ney's declaration that he would marry Miss Williams, and that he went with her to Scotland for the purpose. On the return of Mr. Finney,. said Mr. Lupton, I ob served .4o him, Now you have been to Scotland, I suppose you will soon have an 'heir for Pulsham" (the family estate). He said " I believe not. If Puh•ham had Eeen in Scotland, no doubt the child would be the haft ; but that he thought that as Pulsham was English property, the child could not take it." I said, that I thought that a marriage in Scotland would be good in England. He said he thought not with regard to pro. petty. He instanced the Gretna-green . Marriages, and said, that if they we r e p eop l e of any consequence, they always got married again in England. After this, he generally called the Lady his wife, or his good Lady. Matt' Anne Loyd Finney, examined by Mr. Arrott- NEY•GENERAL—My maiden name was Williams. I lived at Chester in 1819, when I fitst became acq.iainted with Mr. Finney. I resided with my father at the time. . I was slightly introduCed to him, at first. He afterwards visited at our house, and I became intimate with him. He proposed in August, 1821, to marry me. I gave my consent, but he said he had an objection . to be mar ried in Chester. He gave no particular reason for the objection, but he asked me to leave Chester to he mar. rigid. I first objected to go with him, as I did not w i s h to travel in company with a - Gentleman who was with him, who was .of a very dissipated character. He left Chester at that time. Oir his return he renev ed his acquaintance with me. here Mr. Ihmeamear interposed, and requested that his Lord• ship would give his opinion on the competency of this witness to give evidence in the cause, as she was deeply interested i n it s suc cess? First, she would be entitled by a verdict in favour of the lessor of the plaintiff to be guardian of the infant, at least for the sake of nurture; and next, if the child died before arriving at the age of twenty-one. she would be entitled to half the amount of the accumulations of the estate in the meantime. Mr. Justice Ilotaovn was of opinion that there w.s no legal objection to her competent+ to be a witness, as she bad 'nu direct in terest, nor any interest which did not depend on a ettittiogency. Examination continued.--4 went with Mr. Fmney to Birming ham in December, 1829, under a promise of marriage. . : L was then pregnant. I Went to the house of Mrs. Simister. I Witness was here overcome by her feelings and shed tears. She was permitted to leave the witness-box, and take a seat on one of the benches near It.] • 1 staid some months at Bii mingham. I left Bird, ham, in August, 1821. I had a child at Birmingham, a daughter. Some time after the servant came for Mr. Finney, saying that his mother was very ilk He or dered a pustchaise, and left the following. morning. The chaise stood at the door nearly two hours. He was very unhappy at having promised so often to marry me and disappointing me. He promised me faithfully that be would return in ten days or a fortnight, and marry me. He wrote to me in the meantime, and desired that I should go to Liverpool, where he would meet me, and take me to the Isle of Man to marry me there. I went to Liverpool, accompanied by a servant, Mary Wilmot; and 'the morning after I arrived there, be joined me. We remained some days at Lives pool, in consequence of the'child being taken ill. - I was in pri vate lodgings, and went under the name of Mrs. Wil liams. The child died there : and throe or.foor days after we set out in the packet for the Isle of Man. On our passage to the Isle of Mars the packet was obliged to put in at Greenock, owing to bad weather. We went ashore there on the Saturday, and went to theWhiteHart Inn, belonging to Mr. Walker. We remaineckthere till the Tuesday following. When he found the packet going to Greenock, he said," We can now be married without that form of ceremony which is requisite in England." On the Sunday after our arrival at Greenock, a cert.. mony passed between us. He had previously explained to me the law of Scotland. and said that if he merely called me his wife, and I acknowledged him as my hut,• band, before witnesses, it was a lawful marriage in Scotland. Before we came to Greenock, he asked me what I thought of Gretna.green marriages? I asked him • how far it was to Gretna-green ? he said, " Not far; but we can be married without that." lie then desired Mary Wilmot, Our servant, to bring a Prayer Book out of my carpet bag, which was in the bed-room. She went and fetched the book. He asked me if I wished to be married ? I said that I had no objection., He then began to rind the marriage ceremony. Ido not recol lect how he began. but if I had the Prayer Book I could tell—(The Prayer Book to which she referred was then handed to the witness). He began with the words—" I take thee to be my weded wife;" and ended with the words—" Those whom GOD hack joined Loge. ther, let no man put asunder." I repeated the words after him : I said—" I, Mary Williams, take thee to be my wedded husband ;" and he repeated these words for himself, changing of course the names, and putting "wife for husband. He had a sing, which he had previously bought at Chester. He pulled it off his finger, and put it on mine. I have worn it ever since. He then said." Mary, we are now married by the law of Scotland." We dined at theWhiteHart that day. At dinner he often called me Mrs.Finney. On the Mon day we went to Glasgow, but returned to Greenock that day to dinner. On the Tuesday we left Greenock, and sailed to the Isle of Man in the packet. We staid there five or six weeks. He repeatedly called me his wife there. From the Isle of Man we returned to Liverpool. He then intended to go to the south of France. I was to accompany him. We went first to Liverpool, and from thence proceeded to Birmingham, as I wished to pass a day or two there to make some arrangematu He went to his mo th er to settle hi s affairs. While he _J
