About three o'clock on Tuesday, the races baying concluded, the wrestling was commenced. This game, though an ancient British sport, has !peen for many years neglected in this quarter of the United Kingdom, and the attempt to revive it here has been wel comed by thousands. A number of the best wrestlers from Devon shire arrived bare for the purpose of stimulating the men of the northern countries to imitate their example, and from the reception they have received. there is no doubt that the sport will become popular. On the present occasion the men eshibiced oa a stage, elevated about three feet, which was erected in the centre of an en closed piece of ground opposite the large stand, where a band of music was Buttoned. wbo_played favourite national airs at the coo elusion of each match. The wreuling was chiefly between the men of Devon and Ireland, who came from London, and scarcely a man from the surrounding counties entered the ring. Between three and four thousand spectators were present. There were no private equipages on the ground, but a number of sporting Gentlemen attended. . The prises to be awarded are as follow—To the best man, £5O ; to the second ditto, £llO ; to the third ditto, £l5; to the fourth ditto, Rio ; to the fifth ditto, X 7 ; to the sixth ditto, ..C5. Pyle, a Devonshire man, best Threw his bat into the ring, and his *maple was foll Owed by Butler, a Nottinghamshire man. The latter showed himself to he a strong and an active man, and with stood all the efforts of Pyle for the limited time (eight minutes). He was then opposed by Burnett, another Devonshire man, and was equally successful in resisting him ; after which he withdrew. At the close of the day's play the following were the only standards made—Bolt, Devon; Gaffney, Irish; Pyle, Devoe 1 Lac Dorm—The principal men are yet to play. IVZSIZSDAY. The Wrestling was this day renewed with animation. A number of persons were on the ground, among whom were many sporting Gentlemen, and - several.ollicers of the Army. The play afforded more diversion than that of yesterday, and several of the best men were brought into action. The following are the names of the standards up to this night, made in addition to those of yesterday— James Stone, Devon; Fiuney, Irish; Burnett, Devon • .

Before Lord Thersanen, Mr. Justice Paws,/ Mr. Sam, Yesterday, John Short, who was pies - to:As . sly • altdai sentence of death for horse-stealing, was tried eitifin, and found guilty of stealing money and other articles out of the dwelling house of William Moores, at Pinner. Catherine Welch, aged twenty-four years, stood in dicted for the wilful murder of her male child John Welch, on the first of March last. _ Mai) , Hickman deposed, that she was passing along Parson's•green on the 2d of March, about eight o'clock in the morning, when she observed the body of a male infant in the ditch. Her husband was with her. She pointed out to him the body. She gave notice to the parish constable, who took the child out of the water, and conveyed it to his house. The child, on being taken out of the water, appeared to be about six week. old. This witness's husband corroborated her statement. John Levatt is a-constable at Fulham ; took the child out of the ditch, first to his own house, and then re• moved it to the White Horse public-house, where Mr. Holmes examined it in the presence of witness; is quite sure that the child which the surgeon saw in pre sence was the same as he took out of the water. R. Holmes, a surgeon, residing at Fulham, proved that, on examining the body of the child in question, there were several bruises on various parts of the body. which might have been occasioned by blows or by falling against stones when thrown into the ditch. He should not consider the wound on the forehead sufficient. to have caused death; the eyes were suffused with blood, and the eye-balls nearly destroyed, as if great pressure had been made on the head; there were na marks on the thr °etas if the child had been strangled. Considered the death of the child to hate been occasioned by pressure with the hand on the trachea ; was quite satisfied that the wound on the temple was inflicted during the lifetime of the child ; had seen the prisoner in the workhouse previous to examining the child; inquired if she hid been suckling a child; she said she had for two months ; her child had died, she observed, about two months back, when it was only a fortnight old; it was born at Saffron-hill ; the child had been baptized at the Spanish Chapel, Spanish-place; at first she said that she took it to be buried, and then said no, the woman with whom she lodged did ; she said that the person who made the coffin was a fellow lodger, but she did not know his name; that he had since left the neighbourhood, and she did not know whither he had gone; the child did not appear to have been iq the water for more than 12 or 14 hours; no putrescence had taken place. The constable said he saw the prisoner walking by the side of the ditch. He inquired if she was looking for any thing, because he had found something which he believed belonged to her; she asked what? he said a child ; she said she had none ; he followed her, and told her that she must go with him ; and as they walked together, she said that she had had a boy named Johnny, who was buried in Mary-la-bonne church-yard. William Cooke—Works in the garden of Mrs. Fitch; the garden is about a quarter of a mile from where the child was found. (in Monday morning found two little frocks and a child's flannel petticoat in Mrs. Fitch's garden; they were rolled up and pinned together; they were lying in the very spot where he had been standing to work on the Ist of March, which was on a Saturday. Those produced in Court are the same as those he gave to the constable. The prisoner was now called upon for her defence. She stated that her child had been buried in the old burying-ground of Mary-la-bonne parish. She protested her innocence of the charge in very strong terms ; and stated that she was without either friends or acquaint.' antes to speak in her behalf. Lord TENTERDEN charged the Jury at considerable length ; after which they consulted together for about fifteen minutes in the box, but not agreeing, they re. tired at half•past twelve o'clock to consider of their verdict. On their return into Court, at half-past three, they found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mercy on account of her youth, and as the evidence was only circumstantial. On hearing this verdict, the pri soner was powerfully affected, and vied oat several times—" My soul will be in heaven, for I am not guilty of this crime." The RECORDER then passed the awful sentence of Death on the unhappy woman. She was ordered for execution on Monday, and her body to be given to the surgeons for dissection. While the sentence was passing on her, she was dreadfully agitated, and towards the conclusion of the address fainted away. She was carried out of Court by two of the officers. Russell Browns was indicted for assaulting James Gallowly on the King's highway, and stealing from his person Ws. his property. The prisoner, in his defence, said that ke was quite innocent of the crime laid to his charge. Two witnesses gave him a good character for general honesty. After which Mr. Justice PARK charged the Jury.—Verdict, Getilty NEW COURT. doneas Hollier was convicted of stealing several sit ver spoons and forks, the property of Mrs. St. Leger, who resides at 22, Baker-street. On the morning of the 31st of March, the prisoner was seen by the footman going out through the door of the front area. He was pursued, and on being searched, the property was found in his coat pocket. It was stated, that the pri soner had been for a curuiderable time in the habit of sneaking down the areas of houses in that neighbour hood, under pretence of selling potatoes. James Bailey, was indicted for stealing three gallons of sherry, the property of Mr. Lovegrove, the landlord of the Percy Arms, in Rathbone-place. Mr. CLARKSON, for the prisoner, submitted, that the article alleged to have been stolen was not sufficiently described in the indictment. It was impossible, from what appeared on the face of the indictment, to say whether the prisoner was charged with stealing wine, inasmuch as the liquor stolen was merely designated " sherry." The Courcox Ssacieutur was of opinion that the case ought to go to the Jury ; it would be for them to say whether the evidence clearly explained what was mean by the word' s sherry." It appeared that the prisoner was observed sitting in a cart, in which there were two pipes of wine, the pro perty of the prosecutor. The prisoner bad his back to the horse, and was observed to be working at one of the pipes, as if in the act of boring with a gimlet. This induced a beadle, who had for some time bees watching his motions, to approach the cart, upon which the pri soner dashed a nose bag violently against one of the wheels, and broke a large bottle containing wine. The bottle was in the nose bag. Daring the confusion the carman absconded, and the prisoner also attempted to escape. It was proved that the pipe of wine which, to use the phrase of the witness, had been" plundered," contained 107 gallons of wine on delivery t 6 the carman, at the London Ducks, and that on being paged. at Mr. Love , grove's, there was a deficiency of three gallons. There was some doubt about the ptoof of the quality of the wine. The beadle who took the prisoner said it was not white wine—it looked more like sherry ;be sop. ppsed white wilie VIJII of the colour of gin; be did not thint 1 t•ws% cl aiet,inithe Wes - not in the habit of drinking that *situ IN rdiip - - Gefh.y. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLOUCESTER, Arius to. Sabi—Beim Mr. 13alrOe MtTanzit.—Rkhard Whitethorn was indicted for as saulting, beating; vnd woundirig, on the 26th November last, at Turk Dean, Robert Retina, a 'gamekeeper of Harry Edmund Waller, Esq. of which beating and wounding the said Robert Rounce died on the 16th of December last; and' *cob Perry *and William Smith were indicted for aiditig, and as•isting therein. Mr. JUATICI I .. with whom was Mr. MACLZAN, stated the case. Robert Cook said, I am in the - employ of Mr. Waller, as gamekeeper. - On the eveßing of the 26th Novem ber last, in consequence of some suspicion I had, I went out to watch the game. accompanied by' Stephen Curtis, Edward Strong, Robert Rounce. and George I Curtis. We met in a field on Mr. Waller's estate, in the occupation of Mr. Stone, one of Ma ter-.Ats. We had each of us a stick, but no fire arms. Rounce was under-keeper to Mr.. Waller, at Farmington.— When we got near to a wheat field, we lay down under a wall near the gate. After being there an hour and a half, on hearing a noise I looked up. and saw a man tarn from the wall. I jumped up and got, over the. wall, and saw two men standing near the gate, about ten yards off. They had a brindled dog with them. Rouncet,the deceased, got up to them first, and laid hold of one Of the men ; I seized the other. Rounce and his man had some words together. Rounce told him to drop his stick, and blows then passed between them. The man I had got hold of was very quiet; he did not strike me, nor I him. I interfered between Rounce and hisman. I loosed the man I had hold of, and laid hold of the other man, in order to stop the blows. A third man then came up to me. The first man that I laid hold of hallooed out 66 Forward, forward." The third man came up to me with some sort of' a. weapon that he held in both hands. He gave me a violent blow across the head with it, which felled me to the ground senseless. I had not said or done any thing to that man, nor did he speak to tne. When I recovered, I found that I had received several blows on my head, and one on my right shoulder and left hand. The three men were then gone. Geo. Curtis and Edward Strong were there, but I could not see Rounce. The two Curtis's, Strong. and myself, then walked towards my home at Hazledown.—Curtis and Strong went a little way with us, and then went back to look.for Rounce. Soon after that I nisi Rounce in Hazledown village. Robert Cook. a first cousin of mine, was with him. Rounce's face was all covered with blood, and he appeared to be very badly beaten, bleeding very much about the head. The first man I seized in the wheat field had a short smock and hat on: there was a moon about a quarter old, but it was not clear that night. The third man who struck me had a short smock on and a leather cap. In consequence of the bruises I had received, I was obliged to keep my bed for five weeks and two days. Stephen Curtis, Edward Strong, and George Curtis, the other keepers, corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and stated that they saw flounce have bold of Perry's stick, twisting it about to get it from him. Perry called out, D—n you; you.will break my arm." The witnesses identified Smith and Perry, and one of them stated he believed Whitethorn to be the third man•who came out of the wheat field. • Job Perry—l bye at Roel, in this county. The pri soner Jacob Perry is my brother ; I know Richstc! Whitethorn and Wm. Smith ; I met them on Nov. 26, in the evening, about eight o'clock, at llasiling,_which is about four or five miles from the wheat field. We all set out together to go poaching ; we had three nets with us and a dog, a dark coloured dog of the terrier kind; Whitethorn had a stick in his hand tfiittlre had to set the nets with ; there was an iron socket on the end of it, sharpened to stick into the ground; the stick was about a yalsl long from the socket; it was a crab stick, about the size of a. little Rail; I . had a stick to set the nets; Smith and Jacob Perry_ ki4 sticks. I zlon't know if all the sticks had sockets to them. There might be about nine sticks. Before we gist io TheAlltriillitYld: - we 'caught four bares.. .We parted before we got to.the wheat field. Jacob Perry and William Smith took the hollow, and Whitethorn and I took the hill. In the 'rhea field there is a gate in the hollow, leading.. into, the wheat field. White thorn and I began to . stet 'the nets there, and had not properlf set them 'when I . heard one halloo. I don't know whose voice it Was, it came Tint of the hollow on hearing that; Richard Whitethorn tan from me down to the hollow; he had stick in his hand, and I re mained where I was. • Mr. Charles Lamley, s surgeon of . 'Northleach, said he was called on to attend'Rounce at Hazledown, between twelve and One o'clock on the morning of the 27th November; he found him with three severe cuts on his head. The -next day be saw the de ceased again at Northleach ; he would net suffer his wounds to be examined till the 9th day ; he was then nearly insedsible, and the Witness introduced a bistoury, and opening one of the wounds, led out a quantity pf blood. On the 10th day Mr. Pitt, of Belford, lesamined 'the wounds of the deceased with the .wit iness ; he was then totally ihsensible. They trepanned 4ini, and found that the dura mater was ruptured, part of the inner lamina of the skull being driven in upon the brain. On the 16th flounce died, and on opening his head, witness found a collection of matter sufficient to fill a gooses egg. It was only wonderful how . he had lived so long. Contrary to the advice of the wit ness, Rounce had left his bed, and walked front lipzle down to Northleach, a distance of four miles; the morn ing after he had received the wounds, he bad attempted to ride, but was unable. James Gibberson, a tailor, residing in Sherborne- street, Cheltenham, said, I remember seeing on the 27th Nov. Whitethorn and Jacob Perry at my house; they had some game with them—three hares. They said they ;had had avow the night before; Perry said so. Perry showed me his arm, where he bad been struck by the keeper.. H. said it was very nearly broke; it happened on the bill. They then 'went away, leaving the game with me. I saw them again at my house in about two hours, and from thence I went with them to Prestbnry. Nothing passed, on the road till we got to the King'i Arms, when Petry said in the tap room, ,in tke:prei sence of the last witness, that he and Smith were taken by the keepers, and whin he hpUooed the keeper struck him; another of the keepers desired him not td , beat the man, as be was taken into custody ; the keepet replied he would cut his brains emir he hallooed any more. Whitethorn said, directly he beard Perry hal loo he caste down, jumped a gate, end met one of the keepers with him, who ordered him td give himself up. He said he did not think he should, neither should the keeper have those mai& had got. Whitethorn said the keeper seemed preparing far fightihg,aad thatWhitethor ■ kicked bins Ap o sind hit himasbewasgeteutg up again. Whitithoen ilitLia-struck thorman swore, but went I to the eui,tence of Jacob Perry. He got Perry loose from those two men, and ran aftestwamea .who ran away.

William Newton, the keeper of the House of Cortes. tion ntNorthleach, remembers app re h en di ng J , b Perry; and Jacob Perry was afterwards in his custody. Jacob Perry sent for me, and Said he wished to disclose the - 7 whole affair. I then asked him who the pat ties were that were out? He said, three others and himself. Mr. PHILLPOTTS, Villn conducted the defence, offered some objections,. tending to show that the keepers having used great violence without apprising the pri• soners of their authority, the resistance was occasioned thereby, and the offence did not amount to murder. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having overruled the objection, Mr. PHILLPOTTS called several withesscs, who gave the prisoners a most excellent character, par ticularly Whitethorn, who shed tears on hearing himself com mended. The Learned JUDON then recapitulated the evidence to the Jury at great length ; the summing up lasting for nearly two hours. The Jury then retired, and after an absence of ail' hour and forty minutes,returned a verdict of Not Garay. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—TAUNTON, Arau. Br(ore Mr. Jastice GamsLea. THE KING, ArTHeItROSECUTION OP— HAYDN, AG AINSt TIM REV. PATSICK MATHIAS CUMMIND, CLORK. This was ai indictment against the Rev. defendant for an assault (accompanied with proposals of : an in delicate nature) committed upon a married Lady at Bath. The defendant is a Clergyman of the Church of England, and at the time of the assault was a married man, but his wife has since died. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS stated the case for the prosecution. Mrs. Elizabeth Haydn, a very pretty and modest. looking young woman, was then called and examined. She deposed that she was a milliner at Bath, and had been far some time in the habit of doing work for the defendant's wife, from whom she had experienced in variably the greatest kindness. The witness'ihusband is a conveyancer. On the 13th of July last, -during the Bath races, witness. was in her own shop with Eleanor Bryant, an assistant, when the defendant came in and said, " Oh, I see you are engaged ;" to which wit. ness replied, " tint at all, Sir-1 can wait en you nosr." Mr. Cummins said ;bailie came to pay a bill due by his wife, but had forgo iten'hit purse, and that be would return in - the evening and pay the bill. At this tine the young woman (Bryant) went out *of the shop, upon which the defendant began to make his addieues to the witness in a very marked manner.. He said, that from the first moment when he had seen her, about two years ago, he had conceived a violent love for her, and thet tip "to the' present time he admired her exceedingly.' The witness exclaimed, " Good GOD, Sir, what are you 'talking about The detendaist re. plied, " Oh ! we cannot controul our feelings ; I can not help what lam doing." Witness reminded him of the great impropriety of his conduct, witness being a " married woman, and the 'defendant a married mail. The defendant, however, only renewed his declara tions of love, and implored the witness to make an assignation with him. This the witness refused' to do, and desired that he would allol her to withdraw, or that she must cart some one 'to her aisistanceby• ringing the bell. He said she must not leave him, and' attempted to prevent her from going. 'She, hoaiver, got into another roomm(iinto which - ht'tollotied, and' at tempted" to kiss her. He then seized her hand, which he held so fast that; in" endeavouring to get away, she - was - Mich hurts He begged her to keep secret all that had passed, and presied her - to make on appointment with him, which she refu;ed to - do. -He then said he would . retuin at eight in' the evening to pay his wife's bill,. when he hoped to find her in a mare .favourable teM per. - Witness, fearing lie would:return ais •he 'threat. .ened,left the house in the evening, in order so avoid him The Reverend defendant conducted•his own defence,' arid' cross-examined: the prosecutrix at great length" but she did - tint 'vary any of- the. principal - facts tle4 iiied -to in the direcerzatninationr She said th't she had at one time taken. some 'refreshment Wt the defen. dent's, The reason: of her not complaining to her !Ms. aid' of this assault at the: time when it happened was, that she dreaded that he would' institute some law proceedings, by-which she Would be very pain fully exposed 'to Aptiblic• notice •in Bath, which - was a very censorious • place. She, however, 'mentioned the fact the day after it occurred, to sdme young women, but with strict hijunetions to keep' it 'a secret from her 'husband. In stating the facts to the young women, she did 'not express any resentment against the defendant She 'had hoped that the repulse which he received would prevent him from making any further advances, but seeing that, - about five 'weeks after, 'he came again, and that she Would ptobably besubject • to a repetition of the insult, she then told'her htiabadd what bad happened on the 13th• of July. •The Witrieis repeatedly denied that she had ever endeitiOuredM pre- • vent her husband from taking legal proceedings spiral she defendant. Mr. Haydn deposed to the circumstantea of Mr. Cummins's second visit. Witness was upon that day in a private room in the house, when' his wife came in much agitated, and told - hini to go out into the shop, and receive a bill Which Mr. Cummini wanted to pay. •The witness, without stopping to inquire the the cause of his' wife's agitation, proceeded •to the ritrop,• where •he found - Mr. Cummins, from' whoa he received 94 on account of Mrs. Cummins's bill,. Witness •then returned 'to his wife, who informed him of what had happened on the 13th 'of July. Witness denied that he had ever made any overtures for a com promise of the affair. Such overtures had been made 'to him by a friend of the defendant's, who told him that if he came to the defendant's hotel, he should have a good bottle of wine, and something to put into his poc ket. To this the witness replied, that 'if it cost him •1501. he would' have legal satisfaction -for the' insult which had been otered to his wife. Eleanor sedthat Bryant,she s in the assistant shop istantoofnthtehep r llth o ecilti f ir ju d l e y, po when the defendant came in, and that she retired when the defendant said to her mistress, " Oh, I sue roe are engaged." ' • . • This was the case for the prosecution. • The Rev. 'Gentleman then addressed the Jury ih his own defence.
