- - The priaener larded Not Guilty. Mr. HOLT, in stating the caw to the Jury, observed that the prisoner bad been in the service of the vene rable Earl Fitzwilliam, at whose expense he would be this day defended. The story was brief, and he would now proceed to call witnesses. Mary Budgeham—Saw the prisoner on the day in question, with an axe in his hand. The door of his Irau,e was shut and he broke it open, saying, as he entered, that if anybody followed him he would chop them with the axe. He fastened the doors and win dows, and said, as he was master of the house, that bis wile should not come there any more, Next day witness saw the prisoner in a position to strike his wife, but witness saw no blow struck then. However, she saw the deceased fall. When, after prisoner struck the deceased, witness told him to recollect that he was not striking a beast; he sternly replied, D—n you, if you don't hold your tongue, I'll give you as much." Upon the deceased falling, witness heard some person, say, " Poor thing, she is dying," to which the prisoner replied, " D—n her, if she does not die, I'll make her die before night." After the fall, the prisoner's wife never spoke. Several persons gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury retired for about ten minutes, when they returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy on the ground of the extreme provocation which he had received. The prisoner was then sentenced toils months imprisonment in the House of Correction. William Taylor was indicted for breaking and enter ing the dwelling house of George Haigh, at South Ouram ) in this county, and stealing therefrom fifty sovereigns, a watch, and some silver spoons, and bills of exchange to the value of Mi. in the night of the 6th of April last. The principal witness against tie prisoner was the companion of his guilt in committing the burglary, a person of the name of Charles Law, who detailed with the most tedious and offensive minuteness the plotting and effecting the robbery and burglary. There was, however, nothing novel in the mode of attack, as the usual apparatus wet e used, namely, a crow bar, some matches, &c. Several persons corroborated the evidence of the informer in parts of his detail. The principal part of the property, however, was found concealed in the house of the prisoner. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence of Death was recorded against him, but Mr. Baron Mums told him that sentence would not be carried into effect, but he must make up his mind to leave the osontry for life. Mr. Cannon was no other than that far-famed indivi dual whe went by the name of " the Great Cannon of Windsor," or " the Windsor Cannon".—(A laugh), a man of great notoriety, and now said to be " the Champitsn of Engl and ," — he was a man of the fancy, and a professed prize-fighter, and had yesterday to support his claim te the championship against Ward—(A lawgh). Not being himself of the fancy, he could not meet this defendant, and he wished, therefore, to get * rid of him as soon as possible.— There were only two facts to Ise established—first, that the trespass complained of was committed in Mr. Calley's wood by this "dissolute person," who left the honest employment of coal-heaver in Windsor to hunt and shoot, and, who, with others, grievously molested the plaintiff. Mr. Calley let Burderop Park to a Mr. Hayne, a Gentleman of some celebrity who brought the defendant down. The wood was not let. When Mr. Calley forbade the defendant from repeating his visit to the.wood, the latter said " D—n him, but Ire would as often as he liked, and cl;cl not care for any man." John .Jerram sworn, said—l was under-gamekeeper huh October to Mr. Hayne, at Burderop Park. On the sth of November last I saw Cannon shooting pheasants in the great copse; he killed two in that day; lie had two semis with him; he was with Tom Belcher—(A laugh)—and the groom and dogmen. 1 saw him there a score times. On the 6th of November I was dis charged by Mr. Hayne. Cannon came to me on the 13th, and offered me 101. first, and at•erwards 201. for keep ing silence aboat shooting the phsassirts. I refused toe money. He told me he was preparing to fight Josh Hudson, and if he beat him he would get 7uol. and would not mind a few thumps for that—(A laugh). He told me that Mr. Calley forbid him from sho t:ti on his land, but " he would shoot; d—n him if he would not, notwithstanding Mr. Calle) or any other I m:in in England." Ater this I saw him shooting on Mr. Calley land. Cross-examined—Mr. Hayne seas tenant to Mr. Calley, in the Burderop house and manor. Cannon lived at Mr. Hayne's, and went with his servants. That wood belongs to Mr. Calley. I have heard Mr. Calley say that his estates were in the hands of his creditors. Can non offered me 101. and then 201. for not giving infor mation before the Magistrates of the shooting of those pheasants. He ssid " I understand you have informed against me for shooting game?" I said, 64 I have;" then he went out of the house, and he called me aside, and offered me 101. not to say a word about it. I refused ; he then offered me 201. which I refused also. lte-examined—The wood is cut every year, end the profits go to tin Calky. I know that, because they are his men who cut it. Mr. Caney now employs sae to look after the wood. Mr. lgullings, attorney to Mr. Calley, proved that the profits of the wood went to Mr. Calley, and not to his creditors. Mr. MANNING stated the defendant's case.—The Jury heard from his Learned Ft lend that the plaintiff was a Gentleman of property, but they also heard from the witness that he was in some difficulties, and let his house and ma .or of Burderop Park to Mr. Hayne. This (latter) Gentleman h.d a right to employ such per sons as he pleases to make the property available. He was justified in employing Cannon, or any others to kill game for him on this manor. Mr. Calley had parted with his property to papphis creditors, and he had no more interest in the pheasants than any of the Jury. It was material to notice that this action was brought un der the 4th and sth of William and Mary. Mr. Justice Gaines—The count under that Statute must be left out, for there is no proof that he was a " dissolute person," ner did it appear what he was. Mr. Serjrant Pau.—He told the witness that be was to get TOOL fir fighting Josh Hudson. Mr. Justice Gssemes—That is no proof; the count under the Statute is out of the question. Mr. MANNING continued.—This witness was in the employment of Mr. Hayne, and b ing discharged by him, he turned round, and sent to the plaintiff to enable him to bring this action. But he was not only a witness for this action for trespass, but it also appeared from his own admission, that he was an informer, to recover penalties before a Magistrate for the same offence. The object of the :ounts under the Statute William and Mary, was to subject the defendant to all the costs, though the Jury might not give more than one farthing damages. Though that Statute was ruled by his Lordship not to apply here, yet the Jury could see by it what was the feeling of the plaintiff. But Mr. Calley could not maintain this action, and if he got damages, it would be a breach of trust in him, unless he accounted with his creditors. Mr. Justice Gasman—Do not mind that, Mr. Manning, leave it to the Court of Chancery. Mr. Mamenna—Yes; the creditors might file a bill is Chancery, for at the time of this trespass Mr. Calky was not in possession of thz wood. He hoped that on this unsupported testimony of a dis carded servant, the Jury would nut give a verdict against his client. The Learned JUDGE explained the Statute of William and Mary, which prohibited apprentices and dissolute persons from following those sports which were not suitable to their station, to the neglect of their proper employments. On a verdict under that Statute the defendant should pay all the costs on both sides, how trifling soever the damages might be. But the Jury had nothing to do with that Statute, as the counts laid under it were not supported. The question for the Jury to consider for the other counts was, whether Mr. Caney was in possession of the wood at the time of these trespasses? or whether Mr. Hayne had a right, by himself and friends, or servants, to hunt or shoot in it ? It would, indeed, have been worth while, for this purpose, to see the conveyance from Mr. Calley to Mr. Ilayne; for it was possible that a Gentleman letting a place, might permit the person taking only, and not arty thers ' to shoot or sport. If Mr. Calley had not possession of the wood at the time, the action could not be maintained. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, with One Shilling damages. Mr. Serjeunt Pets. applied tie bis Lordship to certify that this was an action in which the plaintiff ought to have his costs. Mr. Justice GASZLIS said he would, but there was another action of the same nature, as he believed, Brown r. Cannon. lie would not certify in both ; and he suggested to the Learned Counsel to let a verdict be l takeu in that also, as perhaps the evidence was the same. Manssilo consented to a verdict of one shilling damages in the second action, understanding that his Lordship would certify silly for the first. Mesa Greca was indicted furthe murder of her new-born male child, on the 2d of Match last, at Caine, in this county. Thc Jury blind her Nee Guilty of the murder; but fAnTV of concealing tine birth.—She was sentenced to de mouths' impri sarketent. .721nes Prams was indicted for a rape on Barbara Crips, in the parish of Maimesbury, on the 28th of April last.

President Doti. vita, in .a late message to the Congress of Peru, an nounced that he had accredited Mr. TUDOR, as Consul- General from the. United States; he added, that he had no doubt England would acknowledge the independence of Peru, and expressed a hope that France will follow her example.—Captain &tams had arrived at Norfolk, in seven days, from the Havannah, at which time all was tranquil. None of the West India squadron was at the Havannah. These Papers contain little intelligence of interest except, perhaps, the account of the celebration of the I anniversary of the battle of Bunker's Hill. General LA FAYETTE was present at the ceremony of laying the first stone of a monument in commemoration of that epoch in American history, and at the dinner which succeeded the ceremony, gave the following toast : " Bunker's-hill, tend the holy resistance to oppression which bas already enfranchised the American hemisphere—the next half cen tury's jubilee toast shall be—to enfranchised Europe." Of the surviving Officers of the battle, there were pre sent seven Captains, three Lieutenants, and two Ensigns. No Field or Staff Officers are now. living. General LA FAYETTII has fixed the 15th of August far his embarking for Europe. The State of Georgia is menaced with an attack from the Creek Indians, who had collected in considerable numbers, and sent away their wives and children. It appears from the report made by the Commanding Oil cers on the frontier to the Governor, that they were not in a state to oppose any attack by the Indians, who had not, however, committed any outrages, but are described as having visited some houses by day and night with menaces and threats; and from their sullen countenances, and in sulting conduct ; from their sending their women and children out c•f the way, and the men collecting in con siderable bodies; and from the great prices they offer for arms and ammunition, and various other circum stances, thefrontiers were considered in danger. The alarm excited by this apprehended invasion, has led to some violent measures on the part of the Legislature of this State towards the general Government. At a meeting of the House .f Representatives of Georgia, on the 6th ult. a Committee presented a Report, which inveigh', in bitter terms, against the Government, and even recommends the Southern States to separate from theUrtiem, and, if necessary, to carry this determination into effect by force of arms. —.—,....„...

The following was the Address spokea upod the occasion by Mr. TERRY : " LAMS awn Gstwriatuarr—At the cline of a Theatre for the moon, it is scarcely possible to vary the mode in which it Is cus tomary to offer you a tribute of respect, for the various proofs of favour and kindness during that period. " I am deputed, Ladies and Gentlemen. on the part of the Pro prietor, to assure you that he is fully sensible of the great and ge neral patronage which he has experienced since he first undertook the Management of this Theatre; and to return you his sincere thanks fur the support which you have so liberally bestowed upon the various productions of this season. He ventures to indulge in the hope that his future efforts may still merit a continuance of your favour. " It is now my pleasing duty to express the grateful acknowledg ments of all the members of this Establishment.

The House was • very well attended. FURIHER ACCIDENTS UN THE MYER. Last evening, an Inquest was held at the Spread Eagle, Milibirk, before Thomas Higgs, Esq. on the body of William Doman, a 14 about 16 years of age, who was discovered floating in the Thames. From the dreadful state of putrefaction which the corpse was it is supposed to have been in the water several days. The deceased is the son of respectable parents, who are at present in the West Indies. The Jury returned a verdict of " Found Drowned." Another Inquest was held by the same Coroner, at the General Elliot's Head, liedfordbury, on John Maroh, a lad about 14, who, it appears, whilst amusing himself in reaching a cork floating in the River, off' a wharf at the end of Villiers-street, Strand, accidentally feU in and was drowned. Verdict accordingly. An Inquest was held last night before R. Coarse., Esq. at the Red Cow, Princes-street, Lambeth, on a young lad named Brboks who, while bathing in the Thames, on the Surrey shore , was ob served by were! of his companions to dive in the water, and not rise again. Immediate search was made for him, and very shortly after the body was picked up near the spot where he plunged in, and the usual means recommended by the Humane Society to resusci tate the body were adopted, but the spark of life was extinct. The deceased was the son of a lighteesnan, living at Lambeth.—Ver - • " Accidentally Drowned." THE KING.

Wednesday evening, as JOHN RAMSAY, Esq. ofFelix Cottages, near Highgate, was coming towards town, his botse took fright at *paper like whi ch some boys had just flown in a field adjoin ing the road. The animal set off at full speed, and the reins having slipped over the neck, the rider, perceiving no other alternative, endeavoured to throw himself off as the horse was descending the bill, not far from Mr.. Courrs's Lodge. In this attempt, however. he failed, his foot remaining in the stirrup-iron, in which state hi was dragged for nearly a hundred yards, when the animal's progress was stopped by a carter, who judiciously pulled up across the road.— Mr. RAMAT @ when taken up, showed no signs of life, and his bead and face were dreadfully lacerated. Surgical assistance being pro cured from Bentish-town, he was bled with the desired effect, and his wounds were then examined : the left arm was broken near the shoulder, and the parietal bone sustained a slight fracture. This is the second accident at the very same spot, occasioned by the lame dangerous practice. This morning, four young men, good swimmers, went out in a boat to bathe in the Thames, off Chelsea. One of them, named Thomas Smith, who lived at an upholsterer's in Drury-lane, sunk, and before his com panions could render him assistance, was drowned. This morning, about half-past six o'clock, a poor man, named Jones, came in contact with a waggon, in Tooley-street, and was so seriously injured that he died on his way to the Hospital. The weather has, during the week, been intolerably hot. The thermometer has ranged between 69 deg. and 84 deg. Wednesday morning we experienced a slight fall of rain, which, it was hoped, would have continued, and have cooled the burning atmosphere. It passed off, however, and the heat became as in tense as ever. In the afternoon, when the atmosphere was sultry in the extreme, loud peals of thunder were heard; but the thunder was unaccompanied by rain. It was succeeded, however, by a brisk breeze from the eastward, which had a most grateful and reviving effect in cooling the attuosphere.—Liverpooi taper. In the Justice Court at Glasgow, several cases oc curred in the course of last week, where severe punish ments have been inflicted on militia-men for enlisting into the line. From the investigations, it appears th.*t an idea is prevalent amongst militia-men,that on expiry of their days of training they areentitled to enlist. Su( k an idea is utterly erroneous, and those acting upon it subject themselves to punishment.
