Under all the circumstances of thecae, the sen tence of the Coutt was, that be be imprisoned for the space of three months.

It was clear that he was such a one as would have stood no chance against an ordinarily strong female. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, WEST-PaRT MURDERS. The following is the conclus ion of this trial: we gave the first part and the verdict yesterday : The LOUD Anstnceez addres'ed the Jury on behalf of the Crown. After a few preliminary observations on the nature of the case, and the circumstances under which it had been brought forward, he went over the evidence at some length, commenting on it, and showing its various bearings on the respective cases of the two Fienels. Ha L idship contended, that even indepen eently of the evidence of the socii criminis altogether, the charge against the prisoner Burke had been corn-. pletely male out. He referred particularly to the evidence of Mary Stewart, of Utay and his wife, of Elizabeth Peterson and her brother, and most especially of Alston ; and he maintained that their joint testimony ' established such a connected train of circumstances as could leave no doubt whatever as to the guilt of the pri soner. As to the case of M Duugal, he adverted to her previous knowledge of the intended clime, evinced by • her statement that they had "a shot in the house far the Doctors" —together • ith her offering a bribe to the par ties cognisant of the facts to conceal what they knew, and contended that her accession, as art and part in the commiision of the crime, was completely wade out. If it was not, the case of the prosecutor, he said, would be lamentable; for, in that case, he might abandon all hope in futu.e of ever obtaining a conviction where a crime of an occult nature had been committed. The DEAN of FACULTY commenced hit address to the Jury on behalf of Burke, precisely at three o'clock • in the morning. After some general observations on the nature of the crime, the alleged circumstances of atrocity attending it, the effect of the intent charged, • the prejudices which had been raised, and the influence '''.. of the various publications which had taken place in the newspapers and otherwise, in exciting a let ment in . the puhlic, together with a very ingenious attempt to get rid of the awkward presumptions of the case, on account of Burke's alleged trade of a resurrectionist, he proceede.l,eith his usual great talent, to analyse the evidence, and to exhibit the numerous and stalking con tradictions between the testimony of the accomplices and that of the other witnesses. Mr. COCKBURN addressed the Jury on behalf of McDougal. In commenting on the testimony of the . : Hares, he said, even-supposing their evidence to be cor- ' reef, it did not amount to certainty against her. To talk vi their credibility was a sporting with men's lives and a mockery of justice. The evidence of these mis • creants could n t be received in the same manner as the evidence of art honest person. Their character was ' written in letters of bleod, that never could be effaced from the recollection of all who heard their horrid narrative. Could they conceive that an accessary to murder was worthy of credit?—and yet the law made him an admis ible witness. The man who was the chief evidence in a trial for the grime of murder — who had lc Id that be sat I n a chair within a yard of tl:e murder and murderer, and raised not an aim,] uttered not a cry, to save the unhappy - victim— s% hich was the most guilty—the cool, cold-blooded spectator of the foul murder-or the phi ended actor? • These were certain questions which he fat it his duty to ,put to flare, but 'Which he warned him not to answer unle.s he chose. " I asked him,* said Mr. C. e it he had been concerned in other murders?" but he declined to answer. ' I asked him whether a murder wa s committed in his own house in' October last? and again that monster took dieter in his privilege. In what situation was that man placed when he gave his evidence? Tnere were other murders hanging over his lead, upon which he might be libelled; he came from the gaol, and would be returned to it—knowing full well, that if the case failed, he might be called upon tO deice td from the witness box, to take, :dons with his wde, his place at the bar—in short, to eschange places with the pannels. The monster had been that step/ ' day out or gaol, to which he would be again consigned if he filed to make them ( the Jur)) believe s story. He had often heard of King's evidences, or 1 approvers, in climes to which ' they had been acces-1 banes.; but of persons coming t o g ive evidence with' oilier crimes of a similar nature hanging over their; • l'reads, the very 'idea was -hortible. It Hoe and. his wife bad stood at the .bats and made a judicial ... Crintesslon o f the primes *filch they had stated from the witness box, sentence legally disqualifying them would have been recorded; hut being allowed to.make their confession born the titre, teey were not only freed from ' the crime, but cleared to the effect of being converted 'into good .and credible witness es . But what could a Jury think crt the evidence of the man, who came for. ward and said, I have been:guilty of one .murder, but _ rata to free'nsyself mini blame by impeaching another aelio was nut prolnerly so guilty? 11114 had seen t aliJ wietcn—who was the picture of poverty *a ' e d --isho stated that his traffic was as sevolting to sight feeling as his will was prelligate.

The Learned Gentleman alluded to the, ' *declaration, and said if the Jury allowed their minds to 'he influenced by the statements of those documents, the pannels would be legalle murdered. If they had doubts ' of the evidence; and ( said Mr. Cockburn), my Gob! can you say that there ate not doubts in the case? The Asannel must have the bereft of these doubts.

CLARK began .his charge to the . 'Jury at six o'clock on Thinsday meriting, and ,fici•brd ' about hail pist eight. His ' Lordship expressed great estisisetigp et_ the defence having Assn eAtrainittzd so e Auch eliinestsCeuisil ; **nubs could ,assure them (the Jl/17).11. wet bead the deface-of any individuals ma ducted with more teal and coeulmmate ability then that of the prisoners. Tnei e was another observation which he was called upon to bring under their notice; namely, to express his thorough confideece that they would divest their minds of every impreition or pfeju• dice which might have been raised from what they had read or heard out of dotes. It would be a matter of in finite regret if writings or publications, or any sort of feeling, should for one instant affect their Minds ; but he was sure they knew their duty too well to be influenced by prejudice; they would be guided by nothing hut the facts a% disclosed during the investigation. The evidence was partly circumstantial, and partly direct. The first was composed of a number of titillate facts and circumstances; and the latter of the testimony of socii. It would be their duty, first, to consider the ge neral evidence; secondly, that of the socii; and, thirdly, the combined effect of both conjoined. From these the verdict, upon a fair inference drawn from a coosider ation of the whole,'would be made up. His Lordship then directed the attention of the Jury to the way and manner the old woman Campbell had been bereaved of life, informing them that if they were satisfied, she had not died in consequence of violence, there would be an end to the inquiry. If they held the contrary opi nion, they would proceed to consider whether "she had lost her life by the h Inds of the prisoners, or one or other of them. The evidence of the identity of her per son was the first branch of the investigation. His Lord ship then went over the 'whole of the evidnice with great minuteness, commenting upon those puts where there were seeming contradictions, or which bad been specially alluded to by the public piosecutor in the: course of the defence. With respect td Ore . :SOW, his Lordship said they were entitled to sreditif they gave a true account of the transaction of which therspoke. He admitted they were not placed loth* samerituation with a person against whom no suspicion existed; but it was the duty of the Jut yto sift their evidence. They had been told of the Hares being connected with other mur ders. With what murders they might be chargeable he did not know ; but to a c -rtainty they could not be libelled on either the charges contained in the libel now under., trial, ...ad which had not bern sent to the Jury. It was therefore unfounded in law to say that these two per sons were liable to be tried for the two murders con tained in the indictment. These individuals, who were %Wei Vie protection of the Ceurt, had been called as accomplices, in the same manner as associates in rob bery, wilfully fire rising, and other capital...crimes. With respect to M'l)ougal, his Lordship was under stood to express his opinion, that if the evidence were to be believed. she had been an accessary before the clap mission of the mime, during its commission, and after it was committed ; and, open the whole, he seemed to consider the libel as made out against both. The Jury retired' at half past eight, and after having been enclosed for fifty minutes, returned a verdict, finding William Burke Guilts of the charge ;. and in re The to Helen *Dottrel, found the libel Net Proven. LoRD A DVO CATE having moved for the sentence of the Court, Lord bla"nowaist said, after.a trial of unexampled length—protracted to nearly twenty-four hours---a tiial in which the minds of your Lordships have been excited 'to the uttermuct, it would be improper in me to detain the Court with commenting on the circumstances of this most atrocious case ; and I feel that it is quite impossible for any one who his attended to the pro. feedings on this trial, to think that we have any thing left to do but to go through with the distress ing duty which has now fallen to _your Lordships to perform. Bit it is impossible, in considering the whole cirasuistances of this distressing case, not to advert to that most extzaoi dioaty—thite most unexam- Fled, and that atrocious system, which every one must teal has been .developed by the evidence which has been broUght forward. lan sure,. and I speak in the presence ot your Lordships, who can correct me if I am wrong, that in the whole history of the country—l may say, in the history of civilised society—nothing has ever been exhibited that is id any respect parallel to this ease.' Murders have been .c3mmitted before now ; crimes of all descriptions have unhappily been too common ; but we had flattered ourselves that our country was in a great measure free from the stigma of any great or heinous atrocity committed within its bounds. That' there should have been found, therefore, not one, but many, leagued and combined togethei, in order to sacri fice their unoffending fellow-creatures, for the wretched. purpose of disposing of their bodies, is to the last degree humiliating. The retry announcement of such a system is sufficient to raise ideas of horror which it would ho vain to search for. words adequately to ezpress. When I take a view of the other features of this case, it ex-' habits a picture of iniquity which the greatest stretch of imagination can heftily take in, - yet it was so clearly brought out in proof, that I am sure it must carry conviction to every one who beard the evidence. -kis proved that the prisoner, in going up the atm alter some of his usual avocations in the morning, fell in with this poor unprotected old vrornan.wi h whom it es quite.clear,that be was perfectly unacquainted before. Now began his airaogetuents , tor summing his victim. With the immediate feeling upon him of the object which be had in view, he claims kindred with her by a fictitious.naoic, and by . pretences of kindoess endeavours to gain on her affections. He entices her into his Ossn house, and there continued .his friendship to her, into /noel] that ske.expressed gratitude to Mrs. Causeway for the kindness with which she bad treated her. He , thus contrives .so far i to Achieve his object, that she seams to have opened : herniations and confidence to 44M—she looked to him for protection—she felt he had &talc ,kindly vii4l her—she refused to enter the house until he entered with her. . She did enter with him. p struggle, ur s emended ,straggle ensued ; and when I recollect that thainonsent she fell, that struggle ended, I cannot rationally, eetertainx donbt that it. was icigoed stud gqt./lp for she purpese,of etureppie . g her. and throwing hernff her guard. ,What 4id the suslivi. dual to whom-sbe looked' tor protection sow do? She is thrown down, and- bee with the ferocity of a demon, instantly throws himself upon her, and extinguishes life in a few moments. Ido not state this with any view whatever of exciting the 'feelings, or aggravating in dignati-n against the unhappy prisoner; but really when such, a system of crime, in which there're many actors, is developed in the- midst of this great metto fobs, I cannot "resist stating the• inspeestion which it hes made upon my sand as -one --of the .IDO4 MOW strous ezhibitions 44 atrocity ever • disclosed in the annals of criminal .jetiopsudence in• ibis or any other country. Sitting as I do in this place, these is little occasion to advert to certain matters that were pointed at, and eloquently pointed at, in the course' .4 the Maw. I will only observe, that with matters of science we have nothing to - do. We hare. nothing writs hut to administer the l aw as handed down to us; anJ Gyp fat bid that the-claims of science .or of philo . sophy, or of speculati in bf any kind, should reran ei from feeling the bailor which iamb °fences. are natur, ally calculated to excite. With respect to the issue to the pannel,your Lordships are aware thettbst nape ask be.death. 'Thebiabest hiw-beessid, it tins kill—thou shalt de to: murder:" and the law of this country says, that he who commits n.utder shall suffat deaths The prisoner must hive Considered that he strips, committing the high crime of murder. - In breast, as in the breast of every one, must be implanted. Oat feeling, that murder was the most heinous of climes. There is no doubt that it is tie duty of the Court to pronounce sentence on the prisoner; and 1 now sugge.t that he be detained in the Tolbooth of Edit.buigh, and that he suffer death on the scaffold on the '2Bth day of, January next, end his body he given for dissection. Lord MACK ZNZIE essed his concurrence. THZ BIEPTIENCIL The'LORD JUSTICII Climate then addiessed the pri soner nearly as follows—William Burke, you now stand convicted by the verdict of an inrelligeot and respect- able Jury of the atrocious minder charged ag-On t you in the indictment, upon evidence which could nut leave a doubt of your guilt on the mind ut anyone who heard it. Iso I ully concur in the view w hich his been so eloquently given by my Lemma kkruker of the nature ~ - • f the offence, that I a ill not occupy the time of the Court with commenting on it. A came more atrocious, a more cold-blooded and sys erratic piepa. ration for murder, and the moose so paltry. is unix ampled in the annals of the coon ry. It is now my duty to inform you, that if it was clear beyond all possibi lity of doubt that sentence would in any case be carried into full execution, this is ot.e of those cases. You may rest assured that you have no other chance; and I would now solemnly warn you to pre. pare your mind in the most suitsble manner to appeal in a very short time before the throne • f ALMIGHTY GOD- to answer for this Crime, and for every other with which you sled chargeable in your oon cooscience. The necessity, of repressing crimes t f this nature pre cludes the possibi.ity of your eisteitainii•g the s ightest hope. of a remi*siort of your sentence. Tile only doubt I have in my mind is. , to s silly the violated laws of your country. and the voice of vublic indignation, yiur b.rciy ought tit t to be exhibited in chains to bleach in the winds, in ordet to deter oliers from the commission of similar offences. But taking into consideration that the public eye would be of by so dismal a spectacle, I torn willing to acce..e to a more lenient exectrion of your sentence. and that you, body should be publicly dissected. I urn tth at if ever customary to preserve skeletons, your ske n it is %sal be preserved, in order that pos:etity may keep io re membrance yt.ur atrocious crimes. 1 earne.try advise' you to lose no time in liumbliog yourself i r toe sight• of GOD,.4nd that you will sick the aid of the Minittio s of religion, to whatever prrtession you may belong. The present charges having. been folly established against you, it is my duty to amiss you that you hare but a few days to remain on the earth. His Lordship then pronounced, with due solemnity, the sentence or the law. The'scene altogether was singularly striking and im pressive. The prisoner stood with uridinciring hi ill ness. Not a shade passed across his countenance —not a nsuscle of his features was di,conivosed during v.e solemn address of the Lord Justice Clerk consigning him to death. At this moment, as indeed throughout the whole trial, he betrayed that indtfference to his situ• ation which could only. spring (mom utter recklessness of life, or be the calm of settled despair. The female prisoner, on the other hand, was greatly agitated. Dur ing the whole course of the trial she bad betrayed great restlessness and anxiety ; her face was often deadly pale, and although the expression of her features was not upon the whole disagreeable. it frequently assumed a haggard and ghastly appearance, like that of a person in the jaws of death. At the moment wheksentence' was btng pronounced on &peke e was drowned in; tears, ind seemed to feel deeply For the wretch who bad evidently no feeling for himself. 1 After the trial, Burke and Nl'Dougal were removed to the lock-up house. whither flare and his wile bad, been conveyed after giving their evidence. They were detained there till four o clock yesterday morn.' ing, when Burke, Hare, and his wale, were taken to the gaol ; 14I.Dougal was liberated last night, :baiiintbeen only detained in the lock-up house for her personal protection. We understand that Hare has made some disclosures in which he confesses having been concerned in no less than twelve different acts of murder, in some of which he was the principal, and in others an accessary, and that he knew of another in which, however, he was not a party. Burke, pre vious to his 'trial, stated in conversation to those near him, that he had made up his mind for the worst, being' certain that he would be convicted, which may in some measure account for the apathy and apparent iinlif ference which he maintained during the trial, and par titularly when the awful sentence of the law was pro nounced upon him. Since his conviction, he is appa rently penitent, and seems resigned to his fate. In hi, religious opinions we understand he is a Cathol i c . eel I ----- POLICE INTELLIGENCE.: GUILDHALL. Josses Nichols, driver of the cabriolet Na 87, was charged before 1 Mr. Alderman Kay, with cruelly beating his hone. John Thraby, owe of the officers of the Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals, stated that he saw the defendant and another calsrloleadriver racing down Holborn-hill, about tea minutes before seven o'clock in the evening of the 10th inst. on which occasion he dogged the horse very violently and unneces sarily: He was positive about the number, but asld not speak to the man. The defendant pet up an alibi, and said, in answer to the charge, that on the evening in question he had had the misfortune to knock down a Jew at the corner of Dow street, and to cut bis head, for which the Jew took out a warrant against him, and by that Means be remembered that he was at home by half past sic o'clock that night, and that be did not go out ,again, or did his cabriolet either. The defendant then called George Hodgkins, who said be took care of the horses In Dorsit.ntewi. Beranston-square, where the cabriolet, No. 87, psi up; and that the defendant was at home and bad his horses cleaned by hal4ast sic o'clock on the evening of the loth instant. John Judd, another of the Society's cams, was-then called, and said he was with Throsby. and was positive ai to tbe hour; but could sot recollect the number of the cabriolet, not the person of the delver. Mr. Alderman Kay said, that be very muck doubted the evidence for the alibi ; but is Judd could not speak to the number, he should dismiss the complaint. .BOW-STREET: Toe MOULSIT 1101SIST.—Mr. Warrington's servant girl, who, it will be recollected, had been taken into custody, was yesterday brought before Sir Dumas, Braun in private, and discharged.— From this it may be conjectured that all hope of unravelling the 'gait, and briuging the robbers to justice, has been abandoned.

Yesterday a young lad named Barris, was placed at the bar ni a charge of entering the house of a person named Hoban, aid stealing therefrom a Dutch clock. The complainant excited much laughter in the office. mimes the drawling manner in which be gave his evidence. Please yet Worship (said he)l wan out on boxing night to see the play. leav-1 ing my street dour double lucked, and when I returned I Mead k open, which was not the way I left it. So I was afraid to vets= in by myself, upon which 1 called the watchman, and we goes boldly together. I goes along my passage, and the first thing I saw was that my Dutch clock had been yolked uff. w hich I did not like ; there was somethink else taken out of the first Boor, bat 1 don't, c o rrectly speaking, know as yet what it is ; so womb' that the prisoner was consarned in the same, I looked Attalla two whole days and two nights; I at totigth found him out, sad taxed blot witb robbing nie of my Dutch clock, which he at Ilre denied, which I told bins if he would confess it would be ' • better for bim ; and so your Worship, he ups and tells me n be pawned th - e clock, which I went and seed, and here it n is all which I have got to say, y..ur Wor.bip. Mr. Cumulus—You have already said too much. By your own account s it appears that you have induced the prisoner to make a confession of his guilt by a promise of not proceeding against him; and be no sooner lets you into .he whole secret of the robbery th.a you nun round upon him. You have got back your Dutch cluck, and you ought to consider yourself lucky. In future, should your house be broken into, added the Magistrate, and you should suc ceed in discovering the thieves, don't extort confeuions from them, otherwise your charge falls to the ground.
