In tke strangest 110111111 Ms Innocence, and hoped, by the assistance of his Melnik hi be able re prove that what the pre secatiin had swortfwas falae.r‘. James Davis promised to reform if his Kis was spared. The BECAME* said, it wile a, melancholy duty be had to perform, to pass the- just sentence of the law upon the number of persons who stood before the Court., The Juries by what° they were tried had paid the ut most attention to thtir cases, and. from the admirablt manner in which they had discharged their duty. not a doubt could be entertained that they had come to a jest and proper conclusion. None of the prisoners were advanced in life, and most of them wereextretneiy young. and afforded elaraples that a life of crirne leads to a very early death. Sincere and effectual repentance was all they ought now to look forward to. and he therefore entreated them not to a loss a single moment in supplicating the Almighty to forgive their heinous °ferret. In alluding to the case of Const, he observed, that he had committed an offence against the petson-of a female, and for ever blasted her happiness. Let him • ask his own conscience what he ought to feel, and chat hope be could hold out out to other's in a similar num lion, if he was placed as a Judge over them? He had aggravated his offence by imputing to the young woman wilful and corrupt perjury. Upon the trial she under went every possible examination, and her statement was confirmed by the evidence of others, and who had heard the prisoner make a coafessioo of his guilt. With re- 4 spat to the coiner,, that was an offence against the whole State, and unless it was pursued by the sentence . of the law, woald destroy all confidence between man and man. He concluded by imploring them to prepare for that sentence which might take place on all of them. The address had a great effect upon the majority of the prisoner. many of whom cried bitterly, and iso-. plored for mercy. 'rho following were waned to be transported for lik, vie.

A fish salesman attended the Justice loans on Wednesday, upon the complaint of the Supetintendant. who seised a large quandty of salmon in spawn on his stall. Mr. Goldham declared that the fish was wholly unfit for use • that it was, in fait, glangerous to eat of it. The salesman declared use; it was as good as any other salmon in the market, and that be could predate persons who would swam that it was wholesome Acted'.

After many inquiries mark ktillassoot part of the' county, for the y man who was saspemod to have committed the - mnrder in Bridgasttost. Year on Sunday, the _ inst. and who was supposed to have abstonded, it turns oat that be had been in the town ever since the murder, and was living not more than two or three hundred yards from the spot where the cruet deed had been committed. This individual proves to be a pension named George Thornton, a young man about ss years of age, and answering very mi nutely to the description given of him by the witnesses who were examined before the Coroner. About eight ticlock on Sunday night week, this person came to a small shop in the Back-laoe, and sat down. A woman. who happened to be there, was forcibly struck with the likeness he bore to the description given in the adver. tisement which had appeared; and after turning her suspicions to another person, went to the. lock-op and informed the constables. Rishton immediately •pro. needed to the place,• and took him into custody. He acknowledged at once that be was the person who was with the spurdeced man and his relations, as stated, but of course denied that he had any participation in the bloody deed. He underwent an examination the same evening before the mayor and T. B. Addison. Esq. and was then remanded to the House of Correction foe fur. Cher examination.. On Wednesday the inquest suet according to adjournment, when, after a long minus I tion of witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict of " wa. ful murder against George Thornton." It appears that Thornton has lived in Manchester, and been employed there in some branch of the fustian cutting business, but for the last two or three months he has resided with his mother, sister, and a brother, the last of whom he has occasionally assisted in his trade of a shoemaker. The family came originally from Lancaster, but have resided in Preston for the last sir or seven years. The house whe.e Thornton wis taken is kept by an old 4cogple who sell trait in the streets. He first began to visit them about the races, and used to call frequently since, mostly spending a few coppers in fruit or other articles which they sold. Beyond this they had little knowledge of him. He was there about two o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday week, and again on Thurs day evening. At present the most material fact, against him is, that on examining his clothes, a pair of dark blue trowsers have been discovered, upon: which there are the marks of blood in numerous places.. The front of the thigh part seems to have been very much sprinkled, the right hand _pocket is smeared with blood, and there is a hole io one corner, where the substance of the pocket appears to have been torn away. The coat in which he was taken beats also the marks of blood. among the ancient customs of this country, one of matchless absurdity was continued eves to so late a period as the reign of George the First. Daring Lent, an ancient officer of the Quern, styled the ales Cbek Crews, crowed the hour each Night, within the precincts of the Palace. Oa the Ash Wedwesday after the accession of the House of Hanover, as the Prince of Wale*, afterwards George the &mood, sat down to supper, this officer ab ruptly entered the apartment, and in a voice resembling the shrill pipe of a sock, crowed a past ten thaw*" The astonished' Prince et first maseiving it to be a premeditated rose to resent tb; Jesse I bet ups the mown, of the ceremony being explained to Ham be was satisfied. &nee that period, tats status:, which war introdamsd be remind the Court of their errors, by that clarkm raids called bock Peter to repentance, Ism been sliecou:laved.— Nein gat Doeilewas.

Among others, we panicularlf noticed—lit, a gun barid found in 1824, on the shif t . ing sands at St. Andrew's, and presented to the muse,. ,by Sir Henry Jardine. It is thickly encrusted by a p t . trifled coat of sand and shells, appmently trained by the great corrosion of the metal, except at the etazit, w h ere a fracture has laid the tube bate. According to conjecture, it is as ancient as the t i me o f t h e Spaaaa Armada, and supposed to have belonged to one of the unfortunate vessels that wet e separated from that a nd wrecked on our coast.-2d, The spurs of the gr eat Gustavus Adolphus, " the Lion of the North,' wont by him at the bale of Luise°, and taken from tysk a !: after his fall by his aide-de.camp, Colonel Hugh s aw merville.-3d, The thumb:kin', an instrument of tots tore, used in Scotland in former times to extort coo• fession—a small instrament made of ste e l, and urns.masted with brass—insignificant in site an d appearance; but ePPlicatiom-4th.

This extraardituery machine was presented to the Society by the Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgh, and II authenticated beyond dispute. It it constructed of dark oak—an axe, laden with a mass of lead, rises ins groove, by means of a rope,which was regulated by de executioner, and having reached a due height, drop heavily by its own weight on a thin block inlaid mid lead, intended to support the neck of the victim. A more simple, and we may add a more humane contr" vance—admitting that those who suffered by it aleso deserved to the—could hardly be invented. Tbeblade so often stained with illustrious blood is coveted with rust. It is needless to add, that.• to a Scotchmanstall acquainted with the history of his country, this is a object *of na ordinary interest, and calculated to coypus up a thousand solemn associations connected with the memory of the past. The relief it all bat renders the great men who have lesiva,' their being 'sneak* edge our coetempormss. for the imagination overleap ing the lapse of time, almost brings them back from the grave. We have only ,to add, that every par who takes an interest in antiquities, will think their use well spent in making a circuit cf the gallery; mid* cannot sufficiently commend the liberality which In thrown it open gratuitously to the public.
