t , # • toeir to labor *has bet fie is of unsound mind. • * .Dr.Misnrk4—l saw MG . Frank on the 29th of last tho'igt; t I ha ve seen him three times—on the 29th, SOth, 4 andilit of last July ; on the two drst occasions, I had ample.bpportunity of Observing the state of his mind; he told me that had once been under the impression of an inejs — roper connexion . between Dr. Dickenson and Mrs.:Frank, but that he had been deluded . into it by Mr. lellamy, and that Dr. Dickenson was a good man, and his partieuliefriend ; that he had intrusted hint With the management of his affairs, and the collection of his tent, and the payment of his accounts. He went on today, that he had lived . with a Mrs. Bury while separate from his wife, and that he bad given her £l,OOO, and furnished a house for her, which was very Ample. He appeared totally indifferent to his houtehold atfairt;s - and to be in a sate of perfect nonchalance as to siffaira which might•interest another man; he laboured under the delusion that Dr. Dickenson was his parti tuinr.friend ; his dress. add appearanee were very re markable. He sighed continually, and appeared to pant fir breath at every moment. In my opinion, he is of unsound mind. I should say simply of unsound Mind, without specifying any particular class of delu sion. Ie is incapable of managing his affairs. 11r. WarbUrton-1 visited Mr. Frank nine times; I have gone ta:see him . with Sir George Tuthill; I en o tirely pcur with Min i in opinion as to the state of Mr. Prank's wind; I haa i tontrersation with Mr. Frank as • .to the eondoct of ',Nisi . ..Frank; he said he made no inquiry as to his vife's conduct—that the whole was a conspiracy of Mr. Bellamy, and his sisters, and other versant—that 'Mrs ftrink was an excellent wornatti 0 virtual% wife,. and a goisit!isiither; r asked shether he, believed that Dr.,Dackenson was a man of property when he was first introduced at CaMpsall? He said he did, as that heinherited some property ; I asked him wbttter,..after What he had • beard, I e thought Mr. Dickeason a ,roan to be trusted with the management of his property, &c. - He said yes; he had entire con fidence in him ; be was his best friend ; I asked whether it was consiktent with the dignity of his character as a Clergyman,.or a G.:ntleman, to be running up and down after women of 'infamous character.? He an- swered, " Oh, Mr.Warbuiton, what does that signify From what I have seen I believe him to be of unsound mind ; I don't think be is a lunatic,• but I think he labours under a great degree of delusion, which it is impossible to make him understand; I am convinced that he is of unsound mind, and not able to manage his owe affairs, and that he has been in that state since Dr. Weight attended him'in 1816; my opinion is, that be was so before that year, hut from tne evidence I ;an say it is my firm opinion that he was so in 1816. Several letters which had been proved in evidence were now put in and read. One of these letter concludes by expresing a 'hope that her husband would write to her Soon ; and' advert" to the Along *bails* of Mr. Frank from home; and makes a coarse anceig delicate allusion to a supposed improper confliction between him and a young woman, whom she names Mary ; but adds, ?' I hope you pay leer well." She then goes on to say that she will not feel -at all jealous on the occasion—that she will not 'suffer " the:green. eyed monster " re influence her; all she expects thither husband will come honieic•soundWind and limb." • She is, she adds, as he altveyssaid of her, a cold constitution in that way; but at the slate time she stspeiti like to know whether he intended to return home (Mr. Frisk wes'aethis time living at the parsonage-house at SOO in Wolfulk) that year, or the next, or . the year after. In this Vetter shelties talks of thgreift' . attention pain to the children by Dr. Dickenson, and of her bayitig engaged his attendance on them Mguineas a-year, he finding Drs own naglicluis. The . Court adjourned.at a ffttleaftir one' o'clocl into another room. Air. Frank was brougls f4fore theirs, and underwent an examination. which lasted during the space an hour and half. At halt-past two o'clock the Commissioners respniecbtheir seats in "men Court.

No gentleman who had heard the case hitherto iconic' doubt that Mr. Flank was of unsound mind. He called their attention to the state of family circumstances Vim - 'Kiting with his wife and family at Cainpsall. Advest. theloathsome conversation described by a low waiter at a . .coentry inn, . he observed that Mrs. Frank received the gross est information from that raker, and listened to the more Side 4eetrufessisins of Mr. Frank with callous assurance, as the result of hmiact and imbecility.. He appeared for parties who could have tie Wires in the issuing of the commission. He appeared for the tintliers lad-sisters of the hinatic. * Mr. Frank had a family Of siiiallehainc.

All he had to do with - the evidence was to direct the attention of thelury to It with a view s. skit fixing the date •of the lunacy, and of that deed. In the *beeper of all direct evidence upon that point, and with such abanslaqt . evidence of the continual wasting of so large an income for sby Mrs. Frank and Dr. Dickenson, so as to leave' Mr. F Mat this time a mere pauper. he called upon the Jury tit that date at the earliest period admissible by the evidence.

Adverting to the evidence fee this impose, the Learned Gentleman contended that the in mak; . Suet have existed in 1815. The facts. which proved it, daftly, were his own delusion with respect to his wife s conduct, and tbeinamgement of his property having Tor all these years been totally Withheld from him. How could a man with a glimmering isB sums OW a quaehatliclor tontine posseision of his house, and . base that lis Mire bad been visiting the doctor's bed-chamber, and *aiklhirs wife hid behind the curtains, without feeling any adequate ireierinewat? The Learned Counsel concluded by recommending fro MO so Led the insanity as early as 1818, being the period waills'eseerilig to his apprehension, was the best supported by the dried** evidence as that in high the mind of air.

The substance of his • observatiesesseeld go to the law of the case, by which, with a few - remarks apse some of the facts, and a very little evidence, he hoped to be site to do away with the effect of Much, if not of all, that had beta advanced.

Mr k Low stated the case, and called the prossteutriz.• annah Greenwell, who deposed that she was servant to the prisoner ; on the $d of April last, being Easter Sunday, my master came home on horseback at night, about 12 o'clock, and my fellow -servant,-Jonas Smith, took.his horse. A young man of the name of Storey had visited me, and when my master came into the kitchen to take off his boots, he asked if Storey was in the house, which I denied. Mr. Pratt then took the gun horn over the fire-place, and went into the back kitchen to look for him, but not meeting him, he said. he would shoot me ; he was then standing about the length of the gun from me ; he presented the gun at me, saying he would shout me, but I escaped by put. ing my head and shoulders over a furnace pot; I after, got behind a wall, into which some of the shot was lodged ; my master then said, " she's not dead r hel then took the other end of the gun, and said he would have my life; upon this my fellow-servant, Smith, cam* in, and my master jumped and went into bed. I was not in any way hurt, but I fainted •away, and on re covering went to a neighbour's 'house—to the house of Charles Gills. Cross-examined by Mr. Custom—l was housekeeper to Mr. Pratt at the time, and &orey used to visit me.

My piaster was in MOW% More this time he was always kind to me, and I don't know how he knew that Storey had been with me. Joseph was using the gun the night before. I saw him unload it and take the shot out. After that he put the gun_ over the liro-plhee, whence my muter took it down. If the gun had gone off, I think it would have shot me iss the breast. When my head and shoulders were behind the wall, then it was that nay master fired. He soon saw that he had not done me any harm, and then he said ° She is not dead yet." I did not shout murder, nor anything like that, tut I cried a good deal. The. noise nude by the gun was not land. Gin's people, next door, did not hear thiamin of the gun.

MALICIOUS STABBING. • Robert Jobson, of Gateshead, pitman, aged 17, was capitally indicted for maliciously stabbing William Liddell, with intent to murder him, or do hart some grievous bodily harm. • . Mr. Hovr stated the case. Eroin the evidence adduced it appeared, that on the 21st of May last the prosecutor (William Liddell) went into a public-house, in which a great number of per sons were assembled. At, first the prosecutor and his party avoided the quarrel, but shortly after his brother and some of his own purty had a dispute, and they went out to fight. A man of the name of Young en.; couraged the men to fight, and I said it was scandalous , to do so; whereupon Young. and I had high words. Robert Jobson then came in, and swore whet he would do if anybody touched his uncle Young. He immedi lately struck at me, and hit me a blow on the shoulder. fell, and he made off. I went out after him, and `said, " Robert, man, I know you" So he stood and struck at me again in the left side, and penetrated my body. 1 lev, he upon me, and when on the ground, I received a wound in the neck ; I found the prisoner was using something sharp ; that I was severely cut, when some persons came and took the pri.oner off me; I was then very sick, and my neck bled a great deal ; the wound was soon after dressed ; I was off work. for nine days, and was confined to my bed for a part of the time. In cross-examination by Mr. Coossom, it appeared that there had been some old quarrel between the uncle of the prisoner and the .prosecutor and his brothers, and that on the day in question (which was pay day) they had all been thinking at several public-houses, and knew little of what they had been saying or riding. The prosecutor and his brothers were old bound mat; and Young and the prisoner " new bound men," litd difference. often had taken place between them on that ' ' subject; but the witness positively denied having struck: the prisoner before he had used the sharp instrumeot, although he admitted that there had been a very ge neral quarrel amongst the rest of the• company; who, might be twenty in number; his pa ty were farther fr. m their homes Than that of the prisoner: Several witnesses were called, who gave very con trad!ctory evidence. Mr. Justice BAYLIS, in summing up said, they meat, be sati Sad, before they found the prisoner guilty, that if death !tad towed from the wound inflicted he wad& have ben guilty of murder.

Mnierialn, of Touenhans.eourt-road, was drowned yesterday In the Thames, near Batters bridge. The Rev. Mr. thinsta.m, formerly a Roman Catholic Reader of St. James's parish, in Dublin. publicly con formed to the. Church of England, on Sunday, by re ceiving the Sacrament of the LORD'S Supper, according to its ritual, in St. Stephen's Chapel, Mount-stre:t. The convert, who conforms in this way, renounces the derties of the Chirch. of Rome as emphatically, and attests his conviction cf.:the purity and the sanctity of reformed faith, as fully as he could have formerly . . do:,e by an kiome and offensiie recantation. The aev. Dr. Gnarl consecrated the dem nts, and was assisted in the administration of them by the &v. Sit F. L, Br.osse, Ban. and the Rev. Mr. CROSTHIVAIT z . ' A trial olcoasideftble 'gift:twice it - expected to enme on in the Court of Assiltei of Leon, in the course of August, respecting an assassination Which took place about nine years ago, at Tombes, in the Canton of Ver. Mend, on the persons of one Digagny, the proprietor of the farm of Tomb's; and a beggar, who %s ere both killed on the farm with - knives, and afterwards thrown into a well. An inquiry was set on foot at the time,bmt no clue of the murderers was obtained. Upwards Of eight years h-d passed over, and the circumstance was almost forgotten, when PnoVIDENCI, who never safe s guilt to escape with impunity, raised suspicions in the mind of the King's Procureur-General. The Procureur of St. Quentin immediately set an inquiry on foot, and nearly 80 witnesses were consequently examined. Five individuals were convicted as accomplices, viz.—Pierre Manly, aged 50, labourer ; Seraphin Manly, his son, aged 32, cotton-weaver ; Cesar Trochain, aged 28, la bourer; Pierre Xavier Made, aged S 4, turner in wood; J. B. Jerome Merda, his father, aged 68, formerly a weaver, all of LesChelles. They had all left their dwellings ; some were at Paris, others at Charleville and elsewhere. However, through the exertions of the po lice, they were discovered in less ibin 48 hours after. They have all been arrested,• anerEf a decree of the Court of Accusation for the Court Royal of Amiens, referred to the assizes of the department Gf the Aisne to be judged. It appears thit Manly, the father, was the instigator of the crime by means of bribery, and that he and his son, together with Xavier Merda, were present at the fatal mnment ; that Jerome Merda, the father, gave every informatiob resaecting the means of murder, the most expeditious mode of concealing the bodies, &c. and that Cain Trochain was the assassin. • The large: ship, the Baron of Renfrew, was safely launched at Quebec, on the 25th June, at one o'clock in the sifteinocm. She had, in the attempt, on the Satur tiny previous, stopped on her ways, owing to the grease being consumed by the fire. She went maje,tically info the water; and afterwards drove up with the flow ing tide near the town. Oa the tide ebbing, the Her tales tow-boat took her down the channel of S . Law rence; North of the Island of Orleans, where she was anchored a little to the North-west of the anchorage ground of the Columbus. The Baron of Renfrew looks much better in the water than the Columbus did, her breadth being ten feet greater.
