Tint Coavice fe;r , days ago, Hunt sent to Charles Forster, the censtabie of Hickmansworth, liens, who apprehended Probert and Thomas Thutted, with a particular request that he would visit him at Woeiwich, as he had a communication to make to him. Forster went to hint, and remained with him nearly two hours. fluid complained of the " rascally" newspapers, as he termed them, for stating that he had been put in double irons for singing " Ad's Well," in the Chapel, which he said was a gross falsehood; another invention propagated was, that he had allowed his whiskers to grow to an enormous length ; the fact was, that he had constantly shaved them oft since his arrival at Woolwich. For cer asked him it he had not been confined in the Hulks, and ironed, for misconduct? and he declared that he never had, and the officers Or overlookers in the yard confirm, d his statement. Hunt said that torte Of the confessions attributed to him were not genuine. He tied Forster " that a Mr. Holdiui was to have been murdered in Ptobett's variant, on the same week hr was apprehended ; that he (Hunt) had never had a moment's peace or mind since the murder Beare, and he thanked God that it was found out, for other v o rima had been [elected, and it wat impossible to say %There it %trunk!

Forster shewed Hunt a glove, which was found the day alter the murder in Gill's Hill-lane, in the ditch by eke side of the &LI t h rough which tbo tinily was dragged by the assassins. " Prs ", T "n`P"sed the glove was one of Weare's; but notwithstand - LT it was touch smeared with blood, Hunt immediately identified it to be one 01 Joint Thurtell's gloves, and having put it on his hand, be exclaimed," I was with .lack when he purchased the pair, and be wore them n hen lie left Tetsali's in the chaise to go to the New- Mad.ann wet t W. are." .Forster asked Hunt how ninth money was actually rat the person of Weare at the time of ;be murder? slate r, plied that John Thurtell said to him on the day of the mur `;'l".. Joel lk (Wean.) is going dawn, and there will be at least 001• each for u., and the rascal carries it in a pocket in his I,nnel in next hi. skin." Hunt also said, that he had no doubt but John tuned gut a large sum, and concealed it front him and Probert, to richly deserved his fate. When Forster took his leave flute, the latter burst into tears, and said, " I have only a to xo-stopper: if you will accept of that, in rentiernbrzpce of an ItlftUlLet” fefre.v, take it."

LENT' ASSIZES: LINCOLN, MARCH . • PARKER V. DAVY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover Compensation in damages for the loss of the service of his daughter. The appearance of the young Lady was extremely prepossessing, and when put into the witness box, her very modest and amiable demeanour excite.' strong symptoms of sympathy in all who beheld her, I excepting the seducer and his father. Miss Y.O ker is the only daughter of very respectable parents. She is between 16 and 17 yeara of ag.e, but appears much older. During the whole examination she conducted herself with great propriety, and without the least ap pearance of affectation. Mr. Serjeant Vairottast addressed the Jurv.—The facts of the case are in a very narrow compass: and I shall lay them before you from the mouth of the unfor tunate victim herself. The plaintiff, Gentlemen of .the Jury, is a tanner, farmer, and maltster, in the parish of Scawby, near Brigg, in this county, and tie de fendant is a farmer in the vicinity of the same place.— Living near to each other; the families were on terms of great intimacy. The defendant is a 'very young man, Gentlemen,: and it is scarcely credible that one so green in years should bit so grey in vice. lie is now married; and at the very moment that he was endea vouring to accomplish the ruin of my client's danghter,i he was actually on the point of marriage with another' ' woman. Finding he could not accomplish his,ends by the ordinary means of seductioNhe told his unsuspect-: ing victim that her father, who Wks averse to the con 'Rectionovould never give his consent unless she became. pregnant. He completed her 'ruin ; 'and tire family had' no suspicions of this. man. He was in and out of the house whenever he pleased. He possesed himself of the poor girl's affections, completed her ruin, and then fiend-like, cast her away fcr ever. At this moment of time my client's daughter is not 17 years of age, but' she is a perfect woman in her appearance,•and has been so for two or three years. The acquaintance (,1 the parties took place when she was not more than 13 or 14 years of age, and it continued to the spring of the last year, when he accomplished his purpose and abaft. : cloned her. The length of the intimacy proves that she was not easily prevailed upon. . Miss Parker, 'etamitied by Mr. CLAnKE, junior.—ls the daughter of the plaintiff, who resides in the parish of Scawby. Knows Thomas Davy. Has known him four or five years. Is about sixteen years and a half old. - Davy was intimate with her brother, and came to see him when he was ill. Began to pay her particular at-: tention about three or four - years since. He visited her as a lover, to marry her. Has no sister. is an only. daughter. Davy continued to pay her attentions till last April. Their intimacy was known to her father and mother, but her father objected to it. She at length proved pregnant, and was confined on the 20th of last December. Davy told her that her father would never give his consent unless she was pregnant. The de fendant married the 19th of May last. Did not know that he was going to be married. The woman he was married to lived at Boston. Cross-examined by Mr. RBADER.—He was seventeen years of age when he proposed to marry her. This was about three pears ago. ' Her father always objected to it, but her mother did not. Her mother never shut the windows when they were together. Never was locked in by her.mother with Davy. He always came after her fa thei went tabed, but her mother sat up till he went. Re-examined by Mr. CLARKE, junior.—She went to a Chapel at Brigg, where she sometimes met Davy, and they walked home together. Her mother asked Davy why he came to see her (witness), and he said he in tended to marry her. He is now living upon a farm of. his own at Redbourn Mr. READER felt certain that they would not give such damages as would ruin the young man, who was a mere boy; and indeed the most moderate damages, would satisfy the justice of the case. Mr. Baron Htm.r.ocx chirged the Jury.—l-le'said, in cases like this the amount of damages must have refer -*nee to the conduct of the offending party as well as to his property. The defendant's conduct in marrying another woman just after he had accomplished the ruin of the daughter was a peculiar aggravation of his offence. The mother, it appeared, approved of the connection, although her father disapproved of it but he saw nothing unnatural or improbable in that.— She might think she was promoting her daughter's hap piness, and the father might be ut a diffetent opinion. The parties were young, it was true; they would re collect the defendant had made a proposal of marriage to the mother.—The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict—Damages 3001. This verdict, which would have been much more severe had the JOry known that the defendant is a rich man, appeared to give universal satisfaction to a very crowded Court. WINCHESTER, MARCH 15. SAVAGE, JUN. V. OODFACY AND /VIM This action, for Breach of Promise of Marriage, had for many days excited the expectations of those who are fond of fun—it being thought that many circumstances of a laughable nature would be elucidated in the couyse of the trial. On this account, and because numerous friends of berth par ties attended to hear the is'ue of the cause, the Court was brimful of auditors. The facts which were submitted to the consideration of the Jur y were chiefly as follow t—The plaintiff is in partnership with, Or at least in the employ of, his father, a respect able hair-dresser at Romsey. The defendant, Mr. God frey, is the son of a grocer and tallow-chandler, in the same town, and was married to the lady who is the cause of the proceedings, and whose maiden name wa., Mary Ann Fryer, in the early part of last year. The plaintiff had, for ten long years, paid his addresses to Miss fryer, and, as will appear, received from her reiterated promises that he was the happy man. The defendant had pleaded the statute of limitations, but did not resort to it on the trial. At the time the plaintiff commenced his suit—not the present suit, but his suit of love—Miss Fryer resided with an aged aunt, by thr name of Jones. The old lady was, averse . to the connexion, and the young couple were therefore compelled to have recourse to secret meetings (in the cow•house, &c.) through the assistance and confidential exertions of tilt servant, Miss Elizabeth Judd, only 48 years old! . This handmaid of .Cupid, and the plaintiff's sister, a ve.o, decent and reputable-looking young woman, demi) proved repeated promises' by Miss Fryer to marry the plaintiff immediately on the death oilier aunt. - Alum: Christmas, 182'2, Mrs. Jones died ; and her.will, which was proved by Mr. Godfrey, as her executor, left Mist Fryer the owner of some few thousands of 13t itish cpin. The plaintiff, delicately refraining from personal intru sion too soon after the death of poor Mrs. Jones, sent his sister abovementioned to Miss fryer, with every ex pression bf . undiminished affection :Mi s s Fryer re pouted her promises, never to be fulfilled! But why ? —after ten years of fidelity, what potent cause could change the mind of Mary Ann?—Mr.Godfrey hard retid the aunt's will, and he fell in love with the faithless legatee, who, too susceptible of his insinuating atten tions, withdrew her favour from the anxious Mi. Savage, and placed her changed affections on her air n's exe cutor. The et - na-ship of, her secsind (..ve should say next admirer) was much more brief, and much more effective, than that of the deserted plaintiff. the May of 1823, Miss Fryer became Mrs, Godfrey. " Savages occupatioa's gone." His ter' years siege had all beers spent in vain, and his patient declaiation that he would gladly wait, " if it was twenty years longer,'! was now of,no avail ! Every promise that Miss Fryer had made even the sol , :ann vcrv, sanctified by -a ki.,s on .the after lit had Leen t: eating her with ruin and wine, were all viclated, arid the Flai,rtiff had no contra:gaols., save . what the laws of his country might afford. Mr. Savage is about 35 y ears of age, and earns eight shillings every- • week ; and Mrs. Godfrey is in her 4.oth year, and of a constitution not quite so strong as her. pocket. No witnesses were called on behalt of the defendants; but severe remarks on the . evidence were made, in a vein of acute and ironical argument, of above an hour's dura tion, by Mr. C. F. W tr-Lrams, their aslvi , cate. The Jury consulted a few minutes, and then coppen. sated Mr. Savage, for Iris two-told loss - Of Mrs. Godfrey and her money ,by giving him aVerdict-LDamages 4004 LANCASTER. •. Benjamin Thomas, aged 'lB, was indictedon the .Coroner's verdict for the wilflll murder of George Jones, at Liverpool; on the 17th May. it appeared from the evidence that on the day before mentioned, the prisoner -was in the streets of - Liverpool in a drunken state, and •challenging several person's to fight. The boys hearing the disturbance he created, threw stones and brickbats, which - very much exasperated him: he seized a knife • from one of his fellows, and rushing into the crowd, stabbed the deceased in the belly, of which wounds he died two days after. TheJurx returned a verdict of Manslaughter, and the prisoner was sentenced td be transported for 14 years. Prscrustn.—Mr. Justice PA RIC, in his charge at the opening of the Worcester Assizes, said, a case of death arising from fighting might be dither manslaughter or Murder. Where a night was suffered to elapse between the quarrel and the fight it would undoubtedly be murder; and if ever such a case should Come before him, he should consider it his duty to' leave both the seconds, as - well as the principal, for execution. His Lordship then alluded to the late fight near Worcester, and to the death of Mr. Titituv, of Covent•Gardert Theatre; occa%ioned by the . falling of the scaffolding erected for the unlawful and wicked 'purpose of witness ing a prize fight. it was proper that they should know that this was a high offence, and that the blame must light on those who had the power of Magistracy and ought to have prevented it. He was no respecter of persons, and knew not whether it would fall on the Magistracy of the County or City ; he believed on both —he cared not which. EUere one of - the City Magis trates rose, but his Lordship said, " I cannot hear you, Sir." 2 lie was also sorry to understand that the erec tion of the scaffoldi, which occupied three days, although so insecurely put up, was proceeded with on that sacred day, which ought to have been dedicated to GOD. At the last Trim Assizes, a family case was tried, in volving property to the amount of tywards of £200,000. it was an ejectment on the Title, for recovery of the real estates of the-late Smkrtkt. I.To:)Pritco, Esq. of Low town in the County of Meath, brought by the Misses DonorizzA and Caro ERINE DOPING, as his co-heiresses at law, against ANTHONY JOHN DOPPING, Esq. who claimed those estates under a will executed by the said SANIUEL llopprszo, bearing date the 25th November, 1820. This will the plaintiffs alleged to be a forgery,. and the question at issue was, whether tli,e will was genuine or fabricated. At the conclusion of the defend. ants case, Mr. BLACKBURN E, who had been• brought down specially by the plaintiffs, rose, and said, that on consultation with the other Gentlemen Concerned with him, they had come to the determination of submitting to a nonsuit, it being admitted that the will had been most satisfactorily proved. This onia:-aucement was received by the loudest acclamation and cheering, in deed, to such an extent was it 'carried, that tile Judge was obliged to inter fere to suppress it. The crowds of tenantry who were waiting the issue, outside the CouFt house, caught the sounds of the cheering within ) 'And the streets of Trim presented the greatest Scene of Jo-. mult and rejoicing.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK.LANE, MARCH 15. The arrivals of last week .were goOd, patricianly of Oats. This morning there are tolerable good -quantities of 'Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, from Essex and Kent, hut not mach from Suffolk. There are several additional vessels up front the North with Oats. The continued stagnation of our. Flour trade still prevents our mil lers from buying Wheat, and this article hasslecliued in value Is. to 21. per quarter, with a dull trade. Barley sells heavily on the terms last quoted. Having some country orders for Bans, this article fully maintains the terms of last Monday.. Grey Peas also support last quotations. Boiling Pea meet a very heavy sale, and th ey are rather cheaper. The large arrival of Irish Oats has bad such an effect on our buyers'sminds, that they will purchase scarcely any Oats, and this article has in consequence tl.ereof declined in value ls. to.s. per quarter.
