CROWN SIDIL--Before Mr. Justice GASELIZ William Craig was charged with breaking and enter ing the dwelling-house of Ann Law, and stealing stock ings and other articles to the amount of fifty pounds, her property. Mr. Dow Lino prosecuted, Mr. BACON defended, the prisoner. The prosecntrix is a milliner, and resides at s,Crown street, Walworth. On the night of the 12th July last, she was the last person who retired to rest in her house. She had previously seen that all her doors and windows were safe. The next morning, about half-past four, she was disturbed by a knock ing at the street door.. She went down stairs, and then, to her great astonishment, she perceived that the window of her parlour was open, and that some person had done this by patting his hand through a hole pre viously cut in the shutter. She then went into her shop, and found that every thing there was in confusion, and property of various kinds, to the amount of nearly 501. was taken. It was soon after communicated to her that the prisoner, about four o'clock that morning, had been seen running from her house, with a bundle under his arm ; that, being pursued, he threw it down, and in it were found a great quantity of stockings and other ar ticles. These being shown to her, she instantly recog nised them as some of the stock she had the previous night lost. In this bundle was also found a lantern, from the horn of which, a piece had been broken ; and in the parlour was discovered a piece of horn which ex actly filled up the deficiency. This was the case for the prosecution. Some witnesses were called to the character of The prisoner. The Jury found him Guilty. Edward Nunn was charged under the 9th Geo. IV. c. 31, sec. 11, with • attempting to administer a certain poison called oxalic acid, to Francis Cook, with intent to murder him. _ Mr. BACON prosecuted—The prosecutor is a shoemaker at Bengal-place, Kent-road, and the prisoner is his ap prentice. Some time since the prisoner, contrary to the custom of the family, thought proper to fill the kettle a little before tea-time with water. When the water boiled Mrs. Cook was filling the tea-pot, when she thought she smelt a very unusual smell arise from the water ; knowing that the prisoner had filled the tea-kettle, she desired him to drink some of the tea made with the water which he had poured in, and into which she had put some milk. This he refused, at the same time adding, " If you will put a little into a good deal of water I don't mind drink ing it." Inquiries were then made of the servant about what had been the conduct of the prisoner before this, and she said, that about a month antecedent the prisoner had remarked to her that he was tired of his business, and wanted to be transported ; that he had inquired if his master died, should he be obliged to serve out his time with his mistress; and that he had asked her if it would not be odd if they both died suddenly. On hearing these statements, Mr. Cook sent for a con stable, and had the prisoner taken into custody. A neighbouring chemist was then employed to analyse the contents of the tea-kettle, and he found it to be strongly impregnated with oxalic acid. The constable, hearing this, asked the prisoner if he knew what was the nature of oxalic acid ? and he said, " Oh, yes ; a tea spoon full would kill any body in 24 hours." The water in the butt, whence that put into the kettle by the pri soner had been taken, was examined, and found to be pure. The prisoner, in his defence, denied any knowledge of the acid being in the kettle, and the Jury acquitted him. BRIDGEWATER, Am 28. MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. Abraham Reed was indicted for the murder of his wife, Mary Reed, by administering to her arsenic. The pri soner is a wild-looking man, about 30 years of age. The following are the circumstances proved against the prisoner : He was married no longer ago than the month of July, 1828, but the marriage was not followed by that happiness which might have been expected. There was, however, reason to fear that dislike to his wife was not the only cause of the murder he had committed. It would appear that ho was a member of a benefit club at North Molton, and by one of the bye-laws of that club, the person who had been for two years a member of it became a free member, and entitled to a certain sum of money u burial money for his wife. By his conversation on this subject there was reason to fear that this money had been one of the causes that had excited him to the commission of the offence with which he was charged. .On the 29th of June last, the prisoner called at the shop of a Mrs. Burgess, in North Molton, and asked to be suppliedwith mercury or arsenic. She said she sold neither, and he then asked if she sold Spanish flies, and she told him that she did not keep that in the house ; he then went to the shop of a druggist named Waistcoat, in North Molton, and by representing that he wished to destroy rata, obtained three ounces of arsenic. On the morning of the sth July he purchased, at the residence of a Mr. Hale, half a pint of cream ; and it was in evidence, that a portion of the same cream had been eaten by Mrs. Hale's family, without their suffering any inconvenience, so that not the slightest doubt could exist that no poison had been mixed in the cream before it was delivered to the prisoner. On the 4th July the prisoner's wife was in good health, but on the following day, soon after she had partaken of the cream which the prisoner brought home, she was seized with sudden sickness, and when the neigh bours came to her assistance, the prisoner• said she was only in a fit ; she complained of a great pain in her sto • - mach, and after having taken some tea said, " I am poisoned—l am poisoned ; send for the Doctor, or I shall be dead before he _comes." The prisoner was standing by at the time ; she was asked what she had eaten ; she said cream, and added, that there was arsenic in it ; the prisoner was then asked where ho had pur chased the cream, and his wife, interrupting him in the conversation, said, " you don't know what' I know." Some of the persons who were round the de ceased then asked to see the cream, and the deceased replied, " he catched it out of as hand, threw it away, and broke the cup." During thew hole of that night she remained in a very bad state, and on the following morn ing she died. In front of the prisoner's house there is a small pond, into which the residue of the cream was thrown. Some pigs and fowls that ate it were suddenly attacked with vomiting, and died soon after. On the same day that the deceased died, the prisoner gave direc tions for her funeral, which he wished to take place as speedily as possible ; and hastening to the Secretary of the Benefit Society, demanded the sum which he was entitled to receive for his wife's funeral. No suspicion at that time having been entertained that. the poor woman had been murdered, three pounds were paid him on account, and the prisoner returned home. The next day (two days after her death) she was put into a a coffin, and the undertaker, who assisted in performing that duty, remarked that he thought she bad not died a natural death, and he advised that a medical man should be called to give his opinion of the cause of her death. A horse was offered to the prisoner to go to Dulverton to procure the attendance of a Mr. Collins. He ob jected to it at first, but afterwards took the horse and went ; on his return he. said that 'Mr. Collins would come on the following morning. He added, that if it lay in bis power he would not have her opened on any account, and that she had said before she died, that die of what disorder she might, she never wished to be opened, and that the person who did open her should have no peace upon earth, for she would haunt him as long as he was living. The next morning tioe body was opened, and the stomach and bowels were blond in a very inflamed state ; but in consequence of the violent vomiting, the poisonous contents of the stomach were thrown off, though the deadly effects of the poison still continued. One of the pigs that hid died of the poison which they picked up was also examined,and the stomach presented the same appearance as that of the woman. A singular conversation was proved to have taken place be tween the prisoner and a young woman, about 3 weeks before this occurrence. The young woman was asked if she was going to a feast calle d Winsford Revels, she said she did not know if she should; the prisoner said, " he should, if his wife died before ; he was asked, what reason he had to think his wife would 'die, as she was seen the day before in good health ? he said she would not live a fortnight longer. He was again asked, what reason he had for saying so ? and he answered, " Mark my words whether she will or no." Winsford Revel was on the day on which the deceased died. The prisoner, however, did not go to the Revel. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, merely declared that be was Not Guilty. Lord Chief Justice Tit; DA L having summed up the evidence, The Jury, after a short consultation, pronounced the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner declared, with a convulsive effort, that he was not guilty, and that the witnesses had sworn falsely. The LOAD CIIIEF JUSTICE said he had been convicted upon very clear evidence, and after a most patient hear ing, of the dreadful crime with which he was charged. His Lordship then, in the most solemn and impressive manner, passed the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner, ordering him for execution on Monday, and his body to be afterwards given to the surgeons for dissection. His Lordship, who now for the first time passed sen tence of death upon a prisoner, seemed deeply affected by the performance of that awful duty, and communicated to the surrounding auditory much of that emotion by which he was himself evidently agitated. MR. HUSKISSON'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER. Mimcmanza, AUG. 27. Mr. Huskisson arrived from Liverpool•yesterday after noon (accompanied by his lady), at Claremont, near this town, on a visit to Benjamin Haywood, Esq., of the firm of Heywood, Brothers, and Co., bankers. In the even ing he dined with. Mr. Heywood and a select party of friends, who had been specially invited for the occasion. This morning he drove into town, and proceeded along with Mr. Heywood, and one or two other gentlemen, to visit the different public buildings and manufactories. He inspected, particularly, the silk manufactories of Messrs. Royle and Crompton, in Lower Mosley-street; and of Messrs. Henry and Edward Tootal, in Fountain street. From thence he proceeded to the Exchange • News-room, which he entered exactly at a quarter to one. The room was extremely well filled at the time, it being generally understood that Mr. Huski sson would visit it at that hour. Immediately on his entrance, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Heywood, Mr. and Mrs. Birch, M.P. and several other gentlemen, he was surrounded on all sides by the principal merchants and manufacturers, who formed a dense circle around him. The Right Honour able Gentleman then addressed them to the following effect : " Gaunitatiat—l certainly will not detain you by any studied assurance of the sentiments I entertain of the kind manner in which you have done me the honour to receive me. Were Ito attempt to state my feelings, I shOuld fail in so doing : that attempt, how ever, is altogether superfluous and untie y. lam sure, Gentle men, from your own knowledge of human nature, you must allow that a pereou who has bad a shale in the councils of the State, and who has taken an active part in public life, cannot but feel highly nattered when he finds himself, in a private station, honoured with such a reception as I have just experienced—(Cheers.) Gentlemen. it is the more Battering for me, as it is impossible for even male volence itself to aseribe'this reception to those motives which it might have date, bad I been still clothed with the honours and the attributes of office which 'I formerly possessed. I feel this kind• ness the more, because I' am a personal'stranger to almost all whom I have the honour to address ; and also, because I am not con nected by any other tie with this great and populous community. I am not unaware, however, that I am in the centre of a great ma nufacturing district. hi which there is the greatest British industry and ingenuity, and the greatest wealth arising from manfractures, in any pert of the world.--(Cheers.) I ant not, also, unaware that those measures of Government of which I was the official organ in recommending to Parliament must have cached difference of opinion. I can Only say, that lam always glad to court fair dis cussion, and to hear the arguments of these who are opposed to me. Probably their information and judgment may so modify my views as to lead me to change the principles I have hitherto advo cated. At all events, I shall always be glad to profit by the ex• perience and knowledge of those whose intelligence entitles them to attention. I state this the more intelligibly, because I speak in the presence of those who will do justice to my motives and integrity. I am not altogether ignorant that arguments of a different sort to those which ought to be employed, and that weapons which are nut fair in political warfare, have been directed against the indivi dual rather than his measures. To all such attacks, which are ad. dressed to the passions and the prejudices, and which lead to the excitement of personal ill feeling, I shall never reply. I think them unworthy of the notice of any public man, and undeserving of his attentiou—(Cheers). Gentlemen, I shall not further detain you, nor occupy that time which may be better employed than in listen log to me—(Cheers, and cries of "go on, go on !") I shall only say that I am aware that there are causes at this moment pressing herd upon the industry and wealth of this populous manufacturing community. How far these causes are within the reach, and under the campy! of Government, and how far they have been occasioned by circumstances which no human power can in influence, I cannot pretend to say. Some there may be which are within the reach of the councils of the country; but there are others far beyond their controuL Whatever the causes may be, it is the anxious wish of the individual who has the honour to address you, if he saw sure means of permanent relief, or even of temporary alleviation, to give his advice and assistance, when Parliament assembles, towards procuring that relief which you are all anxious to obtain. Gentlemen, I have before observed that I am shogetberiolitically disconnected with Manchester, and that I have no personal acquaintance almost in this great comma. sky ; but though I am politically connected with Liverpool alone, I cannot help feeling that the interests and prosperity of I iverpool, and those of Nlancheater, are so closely united, that in whatever steps I take to promote the interest of my own constituents ' I can not be far from promoting the interest and well-being also of the Manufacturing community. I feel that Liverpool and Manches ter are not only intimately connected with each other, hut I would say to the landed interests of the country. that Liverpool and Manchester, connected as they are with the population of the kingdom generally, are interested in the prosperity of manufac turers, and mainly contribute to the advancement of the commerce of the country. I hope that all will join in this common feeling; and that all will concur in any measures that may be requisite to relieve the present pressure ; if nut to restore that buoyant and active com merce which once produced such beneficial effects in this part of the country, a healthy and safe remuneration to the capitalist, and which raised this eoentry to the eminence which it now occupies in political power and commercial enterprize(Cheers). Allow* me, gentlemen, again to thank you for the kindness with which yoi have received me." After leaving the Exchange, the party prOcceded to view the Royal Institition; the Patent fitted Manufactory of Messrs, Sharp, Hill, and Co. and one or two of the Public Ilttildisip and Institu tion' of the town. Mr.' I [Nilsson afteristardi returned to . Clare moot, where he dined ; and it IS his intention to s e t off to (1 4 " May) miitiling for Storrs, the beautiful. seat of lobs Bottle, oar Winda mate. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WEYMOMMGATTA. Oar regatta commenced on Friday, the weather was extremely fine, and the sailing beautiful. The Esplanade was crowded with spectators, and there were many elegant equipages on the drive. The bay and surrounding bilk. which command a fine view of the sport, presented Otte of the most enlivening scenes that have bees witnessed for many years. The first prize, a Silver Cup, value twenty-five sovereigns, was sailed for by the Clymene, Gazelle, Alexandra, Nautilus, Antelope, and Duke of Gloucester yachts. and, after a severe contest, was won by the Alexandra of Wry% mouth, belonging to O. Welsford, Esq. &TUMMY, SZCOND Dar.—The boisterous state of the weather tneday, the wind blowing a tremendous gale from the S. and S.W., prevented any of the prizes being sailed for with the exception of the Ladies' Silver Cup, value forty sovereigns. The vessels en tered to contend for this prize were—The Blue-Eyed Maid, Capt. Lyon ; Elizabeth, Lord Darnley ; and the Vampyre, D. George, Req. After one of the most beautiful matches ever seen, the Elizabeth reached the goal first ; but in consequence of the zabeth having wetted her sails during the race, the Cup bee bees awarded to the Vampyre. Moetur, TkIIRD Day.—This morning the weather ladled es tremely gloomy, but soon afterwards brightened, and it fortimately turned out a beautiful day. The first prize, a superb Cup, value 60 sovereigns, was sailed fur by the Blue-eked Maid, Elizabeth, and Turk, and was won by the Blue-eyed Maid, beating the Eliza beth by a few seconds only ; the Vampyre and Turk both carried away some part of their rigging, and yielded in the early part of the contest. The second prize, a Silver Cup, value 15 sovereigns, for yachts not exceeding 15 tons, was contended for by the Gazelle, Alexandra, Duke of Gloucester, Nautilus, and Antelope, which came in first , beating the Gazelle by only six seconds.

SHANNON REGATTA. • From the inclement state of the weather, the match between the first clam yachts, fixed for Wednesday, 19th instant, was - obliged to be postponed till the Friday following. During the en tire day if blew with unabated violence from W.N.W. and scene. period serious apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the fleet, at anchor in Torbert Roads, as several drove from their maw ings, although the bay is esteemed peculiarly secure from saes blowing from that quarter. Thursday, according to appointment, the Second Class Vessels started from their respective stations at Foyne's Island, and pro ceeded with a stiff breeze at W.N.W. toward, a flag boat moored at Bale Bar, and from thence across the river, round a second boat, lying off Carrigabouk Castle, and returned to the Revenue cutter, moored at Kikush, the termination of the course in the following order : 1 Jane, 111, tons W. Plercy, Esq. 2 Corsair, 91 tons R. Russell, Esq. 3 Antelope, 10 tons 4 Dove, 8 tons . R. Barclay, Esq. It was a well contested race between the two first boats, and won by Mr. Piercy, beating the Corsair by seven minuted. Mr. Russell's boat unfortunately carried away her jib; off Bale Bar. Friday the weather was more propitious—the wind Moderate at W. Tubers Bay presented the most animated appearance we ever recollect, teeming with innumerable vessels, freighted with beauty. Seven yachts were entered to contend for the prize in first class, and on the firing the signal gun from the Knight of Olin's Venus, started in the most beautiful order. Mr. Hickman's new boat, having drawn the brat lot, took the lead, followed in gallant style by the Blue-eyed Maid and Sham rock, and on her passing the first signal boat, at Bale Bar, was considerably to windward of her competitors. At this point there was a most interesting struggle between the Shamrock and Mary Ann which had an unfavourable start, but bad been gradually gaining on the yachts a-head. On rounding the second flag-ship moored off Kilcredane light-house, the Mary Anne bad materially shortened the distance between her and Mr. Hickman's; and opposite the pler,at Kilrusb,passed her adversary, and arrived victor at Tarbert, beating the second by a minute' and a half, and the third by three minutes. They arrived in the following order 1 • 1 Mary-Anne 21 Tons. F. P. Russell. Sq. 38 .. Poole Hiekusau, Esq. 3 Shamrock 19 .. W. Burreugh, Esq. N. 4 Brilliant 16 ..

Monday, the meeting took place at Limerick—it was, indeed, a gala day, a fine lively breeze of N. W. wind prevailed, all the skip. ping in port were dressed out with their flags, salutes firing from the different yachts, while they flew along the surface of the water, the river was covered with boats of every description, from the elegantly decorated pleasure yacht, with snow-white wings, to the. gig, gondola and more humble cot—the ',lore' welder side covered' with a dense multitude of both sexes, eager to catch a view of the' rowing matches. At half-past one, three handsome six-oared'egs entered for the first prize, and after a very hard struggle, through a course of Ave miles, in which success seemed alternitely to &viler the different parties, thus terminated -1 Mr. Mull ock's Defiance Black. 2 Mr. Whitely's Pelican White; 3 Mr. Sexton's Go Lightly Green. The second match between four goodolas was a very severe contest, as the river had got very rough from the freshening of the breeze, and concluded, after rowing the lower vessel at the Pool— Black Joke 1.... &Wiser', 2....

Never do we recollect so exhilirating a day on the Shannon ; and we trust it will be often repeated, as one of our best and most salutary amusements.—Liesersck Chronicle, Aug. 26. GREAT PEDESTRIAN PRRFORNIANCIL Thursday last an immense concourse of spectators assembled at Waltham green. to witness the performance of the celebrated West, who was backed by a sporting Gentleman of 'fwickenbam, to walk twelve miles in two successive hours, half the distance backwards. At the hour of three o'clock the pedestrian arrived on the ground, accompanied by his backer, and surveyed it over, re marking that it appeared heavy.

FACTS ARE STUBBORN TIIINGS.—The Welsh firmly believe that one of their princes, named Mad o c(th e h ero o f Southey +s poem of the same name), discovered America long before Colum bus, and that the Indians of that vast continent are descended from bins, one of the strongest proofs of which position was the fact of the existence of a bird there named the penguin, which, as the _Welsh man of letters observed, was evidently dratted from the Cambrian pew (white), and psis (bead). This argument was held to he unanswerable until it wu observed by an eminent naturalist that penguins have invariably idea heads. Last night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. &wirer, boot and shoe maker, 131, Meet-street.

The off shaft of the cabriolet entered the chest of the off NH* coach horse, and killed him on the pot. Mr. Hams asked if Savage was driving furiously at the time ? The complainant would not positively say that he was, but 1 1 , thought that Savage had no business to drive between him and th e waggon. Savage stated that he was only going at a jog -trot, while th e complainant was racing with another hackney coach, and ra n at full speed against his shaft.

Thomas Owners, a hackney coachman, in a half senseless state, was brought in by one of the pariah beadles, charged as follows : Mr. Barden stated, that he is a coachmaater, and the defendant WI. in his employ ; the-latter went out with his coach on Friday seereing with two valuable hones, fit for a Gentleman's carriage. The defendant not returning at night, he became uneasy. At two deleek on Saturday afternoon, the coach was driven home by a stranger, and the defendant was inside. On questioning him as to the cause of bis long absence. and to render an account of his earn. lags, he said he had been robbed ; " but, your Worship, on exa mining my horses, I found them in a dreadful state. One bad been driven so hog without his shoe, that the hoof was worn to the quick." • The Magistrate expressed his horror at bearing this statement, and called upon the defendant to account for his conduct, and to return to his master the monies he had received. The fellow not Wag able to comply with any of these commands, Mr. &musses, said be would prevent his repeating such con duct for some time, and committed him to three months hard la- bour in the Hons. of Correction. LAMBETH-STREET. Smoot Taylor and Was. Eatery, alias Potts, were charged with being concerned in the perpetration of a burglary and robbery in the house of Mr. Campion. of Waltham Cross, Herta, on the night of the Kith of March last. The prisoners were apprehended in consequence of the statement of James King (a man who was lately executed at the Old Bailey) that they were concerned in the bur glary. It appeared that Emery (whose real name is Po:ts) came to the shop of Mr. Matthews, a pawnbroker, in Whitecross-street, on Monday last, to redeem a pair of boots which had been pledged the day after the robbery, in the name of Ana Potts. On tender. ins the principal and interest, Mr. Mathews detained him, on which the prisoner exclaimed, i hope you are not going to betray me." Air. Campion identified the boots u part of the property stolen from his house. John Morris, a Lambeth-street dicer, said, that on searching Taylor he found the duplicates of several rings pledged in his name. Mr. Campion said, that among the property stolen were several rings. The prisoners were remanded, in order to ascertain whether the rings pledged are part of the stolen property. WO ILS H I P. STR KET.
