AFFAIR OF HONOUR BETWEEN LORD BINGHAM AND MAJOR FITZGERALD. The • Court Journal" has published the correspondence connected with the meeting which lately took place between Lord Bingham and Major Fitzgerald. near Brussels, by which it appears that Lord B. when &candidate for the representation of the county of Mayo, in Ire. .and. in the year 1826, made Major Fitzgerald a promise of getting huh a comfortable appointment; and the Major asserts in his letters to his Lordehip, that his Lordship having accepted of what interest he possesned, and his own !Amoral exertions, after the full explanatke that took place between them, gave a decided promise to provide for luta. For four years after, his Lordship's letters to him have been filled' with hope. expectation, and regret ; anti in his letter to his Lordship, slated 17th June, 1830 (the first in the published correspondence), he etatts that he is ready to receive either a good military or civil situation Ter Any healthy climate; hut would not any longer submit to be trilled with. Lord Bingham did not deny the engagement he had entered into to get Major Fitzgerald a comfortable appointment, to do which he had exerted himself, and, if the Major's objectionable letters were withdrawn, was willing to renew his exertions. Friends had been now appointed—Colonel Freemantie on the part of Lord Bingham; and Lieut. Breedon, R.N. Major Fitzgerald's brother-in-law, on his behalf. A long correspondence took place, in the course of which the lilajoe's objectionable letters were withdrawn, but too late to prevent the parties going to Ostend, for the purpose of a hostile meeting, the polies in London having become acquainted with the negoclation. Lord Bier ham was on this occasion accompanied by Captain Lyon, between wheat and Lieutenant Breed on i t was agree d that the parties should mesa a •ykile trom Ostend, on the Brussels road. Captain Lyon sod Lad Biugl. ham went to the place appointed by the forma; but Lieutenant Ikea.' don and Major Fitzgerald having gone on another Bnwesis road, sane delay took place in Major Fitzgerald's caning on the ground, which he did, accompanied by Mr. Hailsham, Mr. Breedon not having dia.- Toed the mistake of the road. Mr. Habitant went io quest of Ji. Breeden ' and returned with him, when Mr. Breedon placed a paw a the hands of Captain Lyon, signed by himself on the part ;of Meijer Fitzgerald, stating that, having acted under a misconstruction of the promise made by Lord Bingham, and having ascertained that his Los& ship was using his endeavours to serve him, he was anxious to wfdiassw , all his objectionable letters on the subject—relying on the honour end generosity of his Lordship for the ultimate fulfilment of the same. Thus the matter terminated at Ostend, and rested till the newspaper accounts of the affair in Kngland caused Major Fitzgerald to call for explanation, which has produced the publication ti the whole correspondence. LORD NUGENT AND A. CAMPBELL, ESQ. The following curious correspondence between Lord Nuger.t and Mr. A. Campbell, appeared in the Bucks Gazette of Friday last :—A re port of a speech made by Mr. Campbell et a dinner given to the Mar. quis of Chandos by the freeholders of Bucks, having stated that Mr. Campbell said " He was sorry to see an individual desert their ranks, &c.—that individual had insulted him and his sons, and through them the whole body of Brunswickers. This indignity he would resent the very next opportunity that offered." Lord Nugent wrote to Mr. Campbell, stating that he had been informed that there was an impres. 'don that the allusion was made to him, and though he could not easily believe it, he trusted Mr. Campbell would be good enough to give him his auth ority for removing the impression. Mr. Campbell replied, that the newspaper report was incorrect ; but he neither retracted nor ex. plained any expression he had used. Lord Nugent, on the receipt of this note, wrote to Mr. Campbell, requesting to know whether be had .aid that the individual to whom he alluded had deserted from some ranks, &c. Mr. Campbell replied that the expression attributed to him was incorrect. Lord Nugent, in acknowledging the receipt of this note, said the phrase, as reported, if pointed at him, was offensive, foolish, and untrue ; but having been informed by Mr. Campbell that the report was incorrect, he had not a word more to say on the oubject. Mr. Campbell replied the next day, in which he says : " I am anxious, however, that there should be no misconception on the subject. I therefore lose no time in informing your Lordship what expressions I made use of, and stating that they referred to your Lard. ship. At the dinner given to the Marquis of Chandra, at Aylesbury, in celebration of his recent election, under circumstances the most flat tering to the House of Buckingha m, as well as to his Lordship him. self, I proposed a toast commemorative of that event. In tha course of what I said in prefacing this toast, I expressed my admiration of the enthusiastic attachment which had been evinced.by the thousands as sembled on the memorable sth of August, under the benne:s and colours of the noble family, and stated my regret at having seen on thit day one individual who. I considered, ought to have been foremost in the aura, desert those colours, and show himself in the adverse ranks-.. 4 fact known not only to those whom I addressed, but the immense *seem blage who witnessed it." L:rd Nugent, the next day, wrote to Mr. Campbell, that the words he stated were substantially the same as those in the report t they, therefore, came in all respects under the same description. Mr. Camp.. bell wrote to Lord Nugent the next day, October 5, saying, as the circumstance to which he referred was witnessed by thousands, no doubt or denial could be made of its truth ; he therefore took leave to close the correspondence. The following letter, which we give at length, closes the published account of the transaction " TO JOHN DELL EIHI. Atuntrzy . " My dear Sir,—Having, from the beginning, made you aware that 1 intended to call for an explanation of words used on a late public oc- casion by a Mr. Campbell, and supposed by some to refer to me, I now send the whole correspondence, which he has declared to be at an end. He has chosen to close the subject, upon my telling him that the words which he has now owned to, as well as being offensive, were foolish and untrue. I felt that I owed it Namely less to my friends and con. stituents than to myself, to put a stop as soon as possible to a bad habit tl•at a certain class of persons have got into, of mistaking the contemp. ttioua forbearance we have sometimes shown for a disposition to tolerate impertinent allusions of distant and implied threats. I now wish to state to ,n constituents why 1 told Mr. Campbell that the phrases he adopts are offensive, foolish, and untrue. Ist,—lt was offensive, pre►uming, and impertinent, to allude to any political differ. awes that may exist between myself and any individual of my family, particularly when the presence of that individual at the head of the table would have restrained any man of feeling, discretion, or spitit, from so indecorous a display. 'ldly. It was untrue to say that I had ever deserted any colours or cause. The charge, such as it is, of deserting what Mr. Campbell vul garly calls the colours of my family, all my constituents know to be un. true ; those colours happening also to be my own, and to be borne as mine on every public occasion wheys such symbols are, with propriety, admissible. It is untrue that I have deserted the opinions of my fa mily, which have been strongly, uniformly, and notoriously opposed to those which were supported and extolled on the day in question. It is untrue that I joined any adverse ranks. lam yet to learn that, while the County of Buckingham returns two Members to Parliament, and there are but two candidates, any body with two ideas can describe are of those candidates as opposed to the other. It is untrue that I ever deserted any public cause, and manifest that I never deserted that of the Brunswickers, to which Mr. Campbell adverts, it being one of my chiefest delectations to remember that, to that cause, with all its in. justices and all its absurdities, I have been ever recognised as being in direct and irreconcilable public opposition. Thirdly and lastly—Mr. Campbell's words were foolish ; as the words of a man who has neither the discretion to avoid offence, the propriety to retract, or the spirit to support it. " Ever, my dear Sir, your's truly, " Oct. 7, 1830. _ " NUGENT." Anonymous letters, signed " Swing," have been received by post, by two individuals in Dover, threatening the destruction of their premises by fire, which has caused great alarm in the families.— The dead walls all through the town, and for some miles on the road to Canterbury, all bear the same significant word, " Swing," in chalk.— Kentish Gazette. SCOTTISH ANATOMISTS.—On Sunday, the 19th ult. Mr. M'lntyre, late Master of Monkland Canal Tract Boat, was in terred in the burying ground attached to the Rev. Mr. Torrance's Meeting-house, and secured by a niortsgfe belonging to the Airdrie Funeral Society. No other interment taking place during that week, no suspicious apparance was, of course, observed, till, on the Sa turday evening, the grave-digger, having occasion to go there, dia. covered fragments of grave materials scattered about the place of Mr. M'lntyre's interment. Assistance being obtained, an examination followed, when it was ascertained that the violators lied gone down through the remains of a person buried four or five years before, on the right side of the safe, and, through an interstice of non warping, succeeded in breaking open the coSn ; they found it im. practicable to abstract the body; but, determined not to be altogether disappointed, cut off the head and took it with them. The relatives, much about the same time, received information that their deceased friend's head had been seen in the hall of an Anatomical lecturer. No time was lost in dispatching several active individuals, if possible, to recover It. By the prompt assistance of Captain Graham, admission was soon obtained to the hall in question, and the head soon re. cognised and claimed. It was again brought beck to Airdrie, and, on Tuesday last; In the presence of a large assemblage of , people, it was again, along . with the body, which had previously been raised, committed to its kindred dust. The horrifying sight of the headless trunk, raised from • perfect puddle of mud (for the shell had been completely destroyed) exalted such feelings, that, had the guilty perpetrators been forthcoming, a speedy and awful pit. nishraent had been indicted. The Society to whom the safe belongs have, at a very considerable expense, ordered a complete inside lining Of strong iron plates, to prevent. in future, the practicability of such • 4utages being committed where they are employed.

MAYOR'S COURT, 00.11. WALL V. TARLTON, IMAkT, GAILWISSZE. This was an action brought for the recovery of the sum of 1501. due by the defendant to the plaintiff, and add to be in the possession of the prnishce. Mr. MrainousE said the sum sought for was part of the sum of 4,0001. due to the plaintiff by the defendant, and he thought he could satisfactorily prove that the garnishee was In poasesslon of the funds of the defendant to that extent, at the time the attachment was is. sued. Mr. E. Church, attorney, of Spits Lags% abated, that Ms. *met, the garnishee, was not only agent to the delinde but peep* eso eerned for him, and also agent to the plaintiff. MMus teas toll by the garnishee and his clerk, that before the attachment imam% be (gar nishee) had received a remittance of 1501. from the defendant, and that sum was offered in pest payment of the debt dud to the plaintK pro- vided j udg ment was not enforced. After the attachment was loaned, it was statafby the elerk of the garnishee that /dr. Smart was ready to pay the 1501. but it wu not said that the garnishee had then in his hands 1501. of the defendant's money. On the part of the garnlibee it wu proved that the 1501. which bad been remitted and offered to the plaintiff, was afterwards paid to Mr. Drake, in part payment of an execution. The Rzcozhri said that the garnishee might have dared to p c g the 1501. in expectation of a supply of funds from the defendant, and rested the Jury to find for the garnishee. This cease, perfectly unimportant u to any results the interests of the parties may have on those of the public, shows in a very striking view, the imprudence of the Courts in staring any attorney or solicitor, even as agent, to have the conduct of a case on both aides, as we hate been informed is frequently the cue in agency °Men. If a Rule of Court will not reach this mischief, it is high time it should be made the subject of some legislative enactment. POLICE REPORTS. Mesoloor.soinne.—Miry Doiiivon, a large-countenanced warm, with a very p r eposterous voice, which, in the opinion of the Lord Mayor, was caught in " ginnegan," was brought up charged with hav ing kidnapped a dumb child belonging to respectable and Industrious parents. An officer, as he walked along the streets, am Mrs. Donovan with the child in her alms, but rather in an uncommon position, for the heels of the poor infest were 'pore the head ought to be ;and he also observed that Mrs. Donovan was rather advanced beyond the cares of the wadd, by.that which makes us all not care a d—n for it. He told her the baby was breaking its heart a-crying. "That's a d—d lie," said she; "it's as quiet a child as ever lived—a'nt you, my jewel ? " and she cuddled the little feet to her breast. " Why, what a beast of a woman you must be," said the officer, " to hold the poor child that way, it will cry itself to death, or be smothered." " It's you that's the bast," cried Mrs. Donovan, " for you see the child doesn't say a word; it's a nasty bastard that's following us that's making such a d—d noise," and she turned round to where the baby's head was, and said, "Whist, you young I'll vagabond, or I' kick you to the d—L" The officer, who happen to be a scholar, declared that he could't listen to no such " mismanagement," no longer, and believing that the mother of the child was no mother at all, he took both into custody, and he was right too he said—and no mistake, for she was no mother of the child, but a robber of the child. The LORD Alaxoa.—What is she a kidnapper ? Officer.—Why, my Lord, I think she meant to depredate human creeturs.—(A laugh.) Here the real mother stepped forward, in great apparent distress, and said that she had left the child playing at the door at six o'clock, and missed it in five minutes. She ran round the neighbourhood in a state of distraction, but at about nine o'clock she was relieved by the sight of her little one in the arms of the officer. The Loan Blayoa said it was rather incautious in her to leave the child at such an hour, and he hoped this would be a lesson to her. The mother said she had never before allowed the child to be exposed since the visit of the Sing and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, who, she understood, had s way of disposing of babies without putting them underground. (Loud laughter.) The prisoner said, as she was walking along, she saw the child cry ing, and finding It was dumb, and could not tell her where it lived, she took it in her arms, and went about the neighbourhood, asking every man whether it was his, but she could get no father for it. The Loan Maxoa—Pray, whom did you ask ? Prisoner—Please your Lordship, I first went to a butcher and then I went to an undertaker, and they both said they didn't belong to the child, and then this gentleman tucks howld o'm, and tuck me to the watchhouse. The LORD lilmroa—And bow did you get so drunk ? Prisoner—Why, your Lordship, I went into a gin-shop to get a drop to enable me to carry the child. (Laughter.) It was stated that Jars. Donovan had actually called at three or four places and asked who owned the child, and that she did not at all act as if she had any intention but a good one, and Providence must have interposed wonderfully to preserve both, for the unhappy nurse was scarcely able to stand, and actually lost all power over her limbs as soon as the child was taken froin her. The Loin 111.4Tost argued very favourably foe the woman's dia. meter from this latter circumstence, inasmuch as he considered her strong anxiety to keep the babe from harm, endued her with a power which deserted her the moment it was takes from her. His Lordship dismissed her with soma advice as to her future conduct. BOW-STIMET.—T. Wilson, a stage.eoseh driver out of place, was charged with having stolen a parcel, containing 301. John Warmington, a porter at the Golden-cross, Charing-cross, stated, that on Thursday he received a parcel from Thomas Bryant, (hiver of the Lewes coach, directed to Mr. Warden, 65, Cheat 51ary.la.bonne. street. He handed this parcel to the prisoner, to deliver and on the following Saturday morning ascertained that it had not been left at Mr. Warden's house. Witness then went to look for the prisoner, and found him in the Coach and Horses publio.honse, St. Mar tin's-lane, in a state of intoxication. Witness said, " What have you done with the parcel, Tom ?" To which he answered, "Oh ! it's all right." A young woman who was present roved that she saw the parcel de. livered by the last witness into the prisoner ' s hands. Mr. Warden proved that the parcel, in which was a remittance of 301. from his brother in Kent, never came to hand. The prisoner denied that the parcel bad ever been delivered to him, and be was ordered to be remanded, to give time, if possible, to trace the stolen notes. Tsauss Poxicr..—Yesterday, Michael Weir, a seaman of the Sealeby Castle East Indiaman, was brought before Mr. B101:12111P, charged with assaulting Joseph Lancaster, the gunner of that vessel, on the high seas, on the 12th of August, 182 9. The complainant deposed, that on the day named the prisoner had been guilty of some act of disobedience, and the Captain ordered him to take Weir to the poop and place him in irons. He approached him on thestarbeard side of the quarter.deek for that purpose, when the pri soner made use of dreadful language, and struck him several times in the face. A struggle took place, when the prisoner seised his shirt, the front of which he tore to pieces, and hit him a violent blow on the eye, which cut it open. He suffered from the effects of the ill-treatment for some days a ft erwards. Mr. Woolcr cross-examined the complainant on behalf of Weir, and elicited from Lancaster that he had been in England six weeks. and should not have come forward but for some words which took place be. tween them in the street. ____ Blr. Wooler.—Had not Weir been on the poop in the morning, re. leased, and formally forgiven by the Captain ? The complainant answered in the affirmative; but it was for some fresh offence he was ordered to place him there again. He swore that he did not strike Weir, bat only laid his band gently upon him. Mr. Wooler.—Was not the grating rigged, and Weir tied up to be flogged the next day ? caster.—.He was, Sir ' • but the ship's company prevented the punishtnent from taking place, and Weir was released. Samuel Bacon, the boatswain, said, he was standing by the capstan, and witnessed the assault. He subsequently heard Weir thr eaten to jump overboard with the complainant, and drown both. MG Woolsn aoss-examined the boatswain, who espresso& great re. luctance in answering questions. The prisoner, in defence, said that Lancaster seized him by the neck. kerchief, twisted it round, and nearly strangled him. He resisted this ill-usage, but not in the violent manner mentioned, and was struck first by the complainant. Mr. Wooler said, the present charge would not have been preferred but for the feeling which existed on the subject of naval discipline and which Lancaster had taken advantage of. He had good evidence to show that his client bad been much ill-used, but would advise him to reserve his defence for another place, as be was prepared with bail. Mr. BRODZILIr observed, that it was evident the quarrel which had taken place since the parties had come ashore bad influenced Lancaster in coming forward, and be ought not to have slept so long over the affair before he preferred the complaint. He bad nothing to do with any dis putes between the officers and the seamen, and sat there to administer impartial justice between both parties, and would not be influenced by any feeling which existed elsewhere on the subject. The complainant was doing no more than his duty, and obeying the orders of his Cap tain, when he endeavoured to place Weir on the poop, and put him in irons; and as the assault had beau distinctly sworn to, and not dis proved, it was his duty to hold the defendant to bail, himself in SOL and two sureties in 101. each, to answer the charge at the next Admiralty Saniees. Thatow-Hatz..--On Sunday morning, between nine and tin o'clock, a riot of a very serious nature took place in Kent-street, between a mob and several ofrthe new pollee. In the course of the above morning se veral men had been drinking in a public-house, and, a dlsturhence hay .ing commenced amongst them, three men heliostats to the new police went into the house with a view of suppressing h. They, however, had scarcely entered the place whoa the fury of the rioters was turned on them, and they were driven into the street and attacked by the party. Th e riot can continuing in the house, the policemen, determined en:de in their duty, again attempted to take the principal rioters into cus tody, and in their endeavours were again repulsed by the mob, until a strong reinforcement from the station-house tome to the spot, and, after a most determined ?mistimes on the part of the ar ceeded, at length, in securing twenty.two d the In escorting the party of ofmders to the the utmost difficulty, is they were hooted, mil phsd with stools and mud by the enraged multitude, whose feeler assord to be sidled to the highest degree against the constables. raw, howevar, suc ceeded in lodging the whole of the above number in the stadatobsesa, and they were brought before Mr. Box. and Mr. &MUM, yes. tedayto ball. morning, and those who were prominent in the alit were held _ _ le the cause of the investigation, a papa= Ili d ffin Inha bitants of Hent-atreet was handed to the Di ark that the police themselves were the chief cause of the riot and ditnm that had occurred on the preceding morning, and that those individuals whose signatures were attached to the papa was reedy to come fanned to prove the truth of their statement. The paper alluded to contained a charge of very great violence on the part of policeman No. In, letter M, towards a man named Harvey, who it was alleged had been cruelly and unjustifiably beaten about the heed sad body with a trundle= by hie assailant. This charge was speciony inceired into 4. o sto bthe High. trues, as the man who was thus treated wail deas in s at The policeman stated, that the tiellendest Haney was aimed In the riot that took place on Sunday inewing in Hent.street, but tithe then escaped.

The above in substance was the mesa of le flak by the different policemen examined. In aoupn to their however, some of the inhabitanti were simmined, end they s : that the police behaved with violence, and nesseted that ewe them was drunk on the occasion. This assertion_ !was, Itowsweit. disked by the superintendent and inspectors, who deslared that the ch of ,drunkenness was without fixandation. Pew of tho inhobitant arge s were enabled to state that Harvey, the defends's, was not enpgad in the riot The Magistrates said that the neighbourhood of Hent.street was no. torious for riots and other offences. It appeared that the policemen had not in this instance by any means ex deedd their duty, which was at. tended with much peril, particularly in the place spoken of, and they should uniformly meet with that assistance they required when theycon. ducted themselves with firmness and propriety in the execution of it. An immense crowd assembled ;during the day in the street before the office, in consequence of the proceedings of the rioters. Lawirrn-srexxr.—Yesterday John lialhnn, a journeyman butcher, was charged with assaulting Mr. Gole, the churchwarden of St. George's in the Rut. Mr. Gole stated that on Saturday last, while he was - standing in his own house, be heard a noise as if horses were galloping furioady, and at the same moment a cry of distress from some individuaL He ran out, and observed an old man lying In the road groaning dread fully, who stated that he had been ridden over by the defend. ant and another man. Some pawns having witnessed the transac. don, stopped the men, and witness insisted that they should mom. pony him to his house and give their addresses. One of them readily complied, but the other, on being asked, said, Oh, yes, here's my ad dress, you same time striking him ` seized b a blow which knocked him down. The defendant, on being seized by some bystand ers, made a desperate resistance, and it required the united strength of four men to force him into witness's parlour, for the purpose of obtain ing his direction. The magistrate, as one mode of teaching him hu manity, inflicted the highest penalty of the law, 61. for the offence, or to send him to prison for two months, leaving hint also open to the man whom be had injured to seek his remedy. A serious charge of assault elnd riot was made by four policemen of division H. against a journeyman baker, named Andrew Larkin. One of the policemen stated that, about one o'clock on Sunday morn. be and another constable were coming down Cable-street with two gMs in custody, and when they came close to the Hoop and Grapes public house, one of the girls, who was intoxicated, called out for some man, when instantly upwards of thirty persons, among whom was the psis:net, sallied out of the public house and attacked them, and rescued the girls. The mob then commenced throwing stones at than, and one of them was knocked down. At this time three other policemen cams to their assistance, and such was the violence of the mob, which had in. creased to nearly one hundred persons, that their lives were in the most hninineot danger. In corroboration of this, one of the policemen exhibited a large which he said bad been thrown at his head, and by which he was down. On rising, the prisoner struck him en his nose, and blackened both his eyes. He was subsequently knocked down, kicked in the most brutal manner while on the ground, and nearly strangled with his belt. 11iir7iValissr. said he shook) &w him 61. or send him to prison for two months. Quicw.suermtz...—Yestesday, Daniel HIM a labourivan, charged with violently assaulting and kicking Margaret ant ; and Mem Roland, a sister of the defendant, was charged with assaulting her. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on the previous evening, a police constable saw Mary Roland quenching with the and the defendant Hay rushed pest them, knocked the complainant down, and then kicked her violently. Ha, in his defence, said that his sister was aiming some beer, when Mrs. Bryant and her husband insisted upon drinking some of it, which was resisted, when Mr. Bryant used very bad language towards his sister. Mr. WHITE—But if he had used such that was no MOOD you should knock the poor woman down, nd in each a brutal manner. The Magistrates, alter consulting, ordered Daniel Hay to find sureties for his appearance at the Sessions to answer the charge, and to give 48 hours' notice of bail. The female was discharged, on the payment of foe the assault. MURDER OF A WIFE BY HEE HUSBAND. From the Sumer ddeerliess. It is our painful duty to record a most appalling murder, committed at Newhaven, in this county, on the night of Friday last, which has caused gnat sensation in that place, and also in the town, where the perpetrator of the horrible aline is well known, and was considered a respectable man in his situation in life. His name is Harry Winter, the captain of a trading vessel, of which we believe be is ppaarrtt owner. The instrument used to effect the dreadful purpose was a which was broken to pieces. The body of bL unfortunate wife, when disco vered on Saturday morning, presented a shocking spectacle, being hoe. ribly mangled and covered with blood. Au inquisition was held an the afternoon of the latter day, before our Cormier, Mr. Ga. and a most respectable Jury, at the Bridge Inn, Newhaven, when, from the evidence, It appeared that the deceased and her husband had, ppaxotly, lived unhappily together ; wed that on Friday morning, pr e viously to the husband leaving New. lam fee Lewes, some angry weeds had passed between him and the misetunate deceased. He returned front Lewes to his home about half. past nine o'clock in the evening, in a state of intoxication ; and soon 'after his arrival a noise was heard in the house t but from the frequent quarrels which had frequently occurred, no particular notice was taken of the circumstance by the neighbours. In the morning, Winter went into the street, smoking his pipe, and asked a female named Dyer to tome and see his wife. The woman, knowing of their frequent quarrels, asked if be bad hurt her ? He said, "be was of it was something vase than that." Mrs. Dyer did not go, but her daughter went into die house, and found the deceased lying on the floor of the bed-room, in Wstate of nudity, covered with blood, and quite dead ! She instantly alarmed the neighbours, who also went into the house, and the husband was taken into custody. It further appeared that the murder had been accomplished by the inflictioe of nu. merous heavy blows on various parts of the body and head (frem which the left ear was nearly severed) by a fire-shavel, which was found broken. A great number of witnesses were examined, and after a patient investigation of 7 hours, the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder" against Harry Winter, and the coroner issued his warrant for the committal of the prisoner to Horsham gaol for trial at the next assizes. The prisoner, it appeared, after the dreadful deed had been perpetrated, slept in the room all night; and it is sup. posed that the clothes of the deceased, which were found torn to tatters, had been stripped off by the prisoner, as he was heard to say, "She tort my shirt off last night, and I have torn hers off to night." It appeared, also, that the ill-fated woman had been dragged into the house, probably after endeavouring to escape, marks of blood being found upon the 'Atilt' leading to the door. The prisoner, who is about 50 years of age, was conveyed through this town yesterday morning, on his way to Ho rsham, and did not appear much affected at his awful situation. It is supp osed by some that Winter must have been seised with temporary derangement, as, on the night of the unfortunate occurrence, he had taken home a new pair of silver spectacles for his wife, and a fat goose fee their Sunday's diaper, of which he bad also invited the mate of his vessel and the mate's wife to partake. He is, we believe, a native of the western part of our county.

A Christian can't marry her ; no, yet her loss if 1 Suffer, I feel that my heart will soon ossify I I'll do what'll prove more the love than the wit o'me, I'll swallow oxalic. then surely she'll pity me, And garnish my grave with some few sprigs of rosemary, He did as he said, and died crying, " Here goes, Mary !" Fraser's Magasine. A Spanish Refugee brought over with him a little dog hum Spain. who lately died ; and in commemoration of this arelaseholy event, he has composed a sonnet, of which the following is a translation made by an English lady : TO MORON. Through unknown crowds with weary step I roan:. A woe-worn wanderer on a foreign shore ; And when I seek my solitary home, Thy friendly welcome meets my ear no more. How of the fond expe of thine eye' Hemmed through the anguish of frame! How did thy trembling limbs im try To spring responsive to the autos! My faithful Guard ! on yea deserted bed, Near thy sad master did'st thou love to rest ; But Death's cold hand his cruel venom spread, Stilled the warm throbbings of thy generous bteas.—. Snatched the last solace of my exiled state, And left the Wanderer to his lonely fate. 14 FERRARI.
