C. - • company some time I fell asleep en the sofa. I don't re cokkeet. a glass taping put to my lips. A Friendly Society an at my hot's*, they keep their strong box there; that is generally known. We had had a public dinner of an Orange Society at our house on the previous Saturday. I received from 201. to 251. on that day. The box gene rally contained about 301. I could not tell the amount in the ()lunge Society's box. After being asleep some time, I was intoxicated and confused, and did not know what I was doing. I had never felt so from a similar quan tity to what I thought I had taken before ; I had often drank four or five noggins of whiskey, without being intoxicated ; I was awakened by a striking against the bar wall of the passage, and the mugs falling down inside the bar ; who made the noise I don't know ; I got up, and the first thing I saw was my wife all over blood ; it was getting day-light then ; it was one o clock, or rather turned of one; in consequence of what I was told, I seem in pursuit of those men ; I went as far as IVarrington, which is about thirteen miles, but did not find them ; I saw my wife blcody, and knew the maid was wounded, before I went in pursuit ; I had sold a canary-bird and cage to Alexander, on the Whitsnn week twelvemonths; in a week after what happened, I went before Sir P. ittusg rave, at Appleby, and saw both prisoners there ; I recognized them immediately ; I Lad no doubt of their being the men ; Michael hung I.is head as so a a, he SAW me; Alexander did not seem so much daunted; they had gotten their whiskers shaved off. and their coat-sleeves appeared to have been washed from above the sleeves; they wore blue coits as they do now, and Michael had the same striped waist• coat on that he has at present. Thomas Parking•on examined by Mr. CounTraxv: I was in Blear's public-house, about half past eight, on the 21.1 of May ; I stopped about an hour; I sat in the tap-room, opposite the bar ; I saw the two prisoners sitting in the bar, on the sofa with the landlord ; I had seen' Alexander before at Blears's, in the bar; I remem ber 'Bleats coming from the bar to the kitchen, and then I saw Alt xander pour something from his glass into - Blears's; he then poured something from a jug into his own glass; it was about a pint jug; it was pale, like water. J I Mr. Justice Pratt : Whiskey is pale, is it not ? for I don't know, I am sure. Examination continued: The prisoners then turned and whis pered ipso ber. William Higgins, a fine little lad, examined t I am Pout teen years old ; I lived with Joseph Blears at the period in question ; I went to sleep in the double bedded room about nine o'clock ; I had been in bed about three hours, when I was awakened by a noise; I saw a man, Alexander M.Keand, whom! bad known before, with the left hand round Betty Bate's neck, and doing something that I could nct see; he ap peared to be making his nonsense with her; there was a lighted candle to the window, which is between the two beds ; I saw the man and the woman struggling at the end of the drawers, which are at the foot of my, bed ; my bed had no curtains ; I was then lying down in bed ; she kept saying " Give over, and be quiet," and then I saw the blood gushing down from her throat; this was after I had seen the prisoner's left arm round her neck ; his right arm WAS somehow across the woman's neck; he flung her down upon the floor, and she screamed out 64 murder !" I saw them struggling very hard up ,, n the floor, and then the u oman got up and caught hold of his legs, and said, " I'll mark thee, man." Ile flung her down a second time, and did something more at her, but what it was I could not see, it was at the side of her neck. He left her then and came to me; I had not sat up before he came to me, nor do I know how he saw me; when he came to me I rose up, and, he put his left hand on my Mouth, and thrust me down again; his hand left blood upon my face; he kept his hand upon my mouth ; the woman at this time gi t tip, and was going out of the room, and he tattled her at the door. I saw him struggling with her at the door place ; they stood upon their feet. I got out of bed and rushed past behind the woman; he made a grasp at me, and mat ked my shirt with his bloody hand, but he did not keep hold of me; I jumped over the banisters and escaped. When I passed them he (Alexander) fol lowed me down stairs; I ran out through the back kitchen, and out at the back door ; I ran round the back of the house to the front, and he followed me to the railing in front of the house; I ran down by the railing and through a stile, and back along a hedge and a ditch, where I conc-aled myself. I lost sight of Alex ander and the other when I got to the rails; they were rualning towards me at the time; I only got a glimpse of the pri,oners' heads a, I passed the bar going to bed; I knew Alexander before; he had bought a canary bird and cage on the last Whitsuntide but one; I had seen him there on one or two occasions before this ; when he etas struggling with the woman, and when he came to nie, I could see plainly he was the man who had bought the canary bird. William Hancock, a surgeon, at Manchester, said; I know the prisoners at the bar; I have known Michael twi years. He was a housekeeper, and I lodged with him about a month or six weeks. I have known Alex ander twelve nionths ; I lodged at Byrom-place, Par. liament-street, Manchester ; Alexander lodged in the • house at first, but became the master, and I continued to lodge there till the 22d of May. I saw both about 6 o'clock on that day ; I parted with them at Mr. Boardman's public-house. Salford, which is about three and a half miles from Blears's house. They went towards Pendleton, which is in the direction of Blears's house. They both wore blue coats ; Alexander bad black, and Michael dark trowsers ; they wore the waistcoats they have on now. Alexander wore a black stock, such as that produced, on that day ; and the stick produced was used by him as a walking stick. (The handkerchiefs produced.) Michael had such a handkerchief on that day. Michael had his beard grown all round under his chin upon that occasion. The COURT—The prisoners had their whiskers trimmed small. Cross.examincd—The general description of their dress was the same as at present. There appeared no disguise in their dress. Alexander M'Keand being called on for his defence, protested his innocence ; he had treated Blears, and they lad both got very tipsy ; Blears struck hint several ro t!t, say itig he could beat three such men as he, of ter ...ch he could give no account of any thing that had 114 pened. M. M'Keand said, that on the day of the murder, his handier, whom he bad not seen falr a we k, asked him t assist hint in getting in some debts due to him in the neighbourhood ; he sent him forward to Blears's hOuse. telling him to have a glass of ale, and wait his coming. isone t then described their all drinking together, and his Urother's getting very tipsy, and quar reling with the landlord. He could give no further 1-ccount ; but his li e hung upon a thread, and he called Ilium Vat Gon, before whom perhaps he was shortly to appear, to witness his innocence of having committed THE EVENING STAR.

For some weeks we have had an extraordinary con tinuance of hot weather, the thermometer being at 28 deg. The number of strangers arrived to be present at the coronation daily increases, and the rent of apart ments round and near the Kremlin increases iu the same proportion. The British Ambassador, the Duke of Devonshire, has hired for the time of his stay here, the largest and handsomest private residence at Moscow, viz. the palace of General Chepiloff, near the 'Luisa bridge, for which his Grace is to pay 2,5001. sterling. Count Potocky, chief member of the ceremonies, arrived here on the 17th, aad two days afterwards, the regalia of the Empire used in the coronation, with the Emperor's gold and silver table services, in 15 heavily laden wag gons, escorted by military. The fete of theG rand Duchess Olga Nicholajefna was kept yesterday. The Empress mother having received the congratulations of the No- bility, &c. went to the Cathedral with the Grand Duke Michael and the Grand Duchess Helena. The city was splendidly illuminated in the evening. BERLIN. Auousr 12. There is again a report of a change in the Ministry of the Interior; namely, that the Police will be separated from it. The Greek Committee in this city will soon send another remittance of 30,003 dollars to M. Egnard. TRIESTE, AUGUST S. Letters of rut older date horn Napoli di Romania spoke of nothing but the expected arrival of Lord Coch rane; yet, since the news from Corfu recently given of his actual arrival, we have heard nothing more of him. The latest letters from Ancona of 2d inst. only say, Cochrane is at Napoli. The impatience of the Greeks here for further news becomes daily greater. An article from the Hague, dated the 12th, gives a frightful picture of the diseases which are prevalent in Friesland and Grouingen. They are termed fevers, and are of so insidious, yet se deadly, a kind, that persons who are seised in the evening, and whose state is apparently in no respect dangerous, have not un frequently died in the coure of the same night.—At Groningen alone, according to the reports, there are 7,000 sick, nearly one fourth of the population. These fevers are still ascribed chiefly to the use of brackish water, the consequence of the last inundation of the sea. A similar visitation, it is stated, followed the great inun dation of 1775. All the accounts from the Provinces of the Netherland speak of the fineness and abundance of the crops. We have received the French Morning Papers of Fri. I day, and the Mai( dated Saturday. The latter contains, :under the head of St. Petersburgh, a Proclamation of the Estksaok to the Russian Army, in which his Ms praise; his brave and obedient troops for their fidelity M hen attempts were made at his accession tb seduce them from their allegiance. A letter from Madiid, doted the 9th instant, contains statements respecting the late events in Portugal, evi dently fabricated for the purpose of throwing a doubt on the stability of the constitutional forms which have just been sworn to and proclaimed: The following is the article to which we allude: MADRID, AUGUST O. • " An extraordinary courier has just brought news from Portugal The Infanta held "a gala court on the occasion of taking the oath to the charter. The Nuncio, the Spanish Ambassador, and the Russian Charge d'Affaires were not present. The Prussian Minister came, after having made a kind of declaration with reservation. The members of the diplomatic corps who were not present at the taking of the oath, made their appearance two days after, to ki,s hands in compliment to the Regent. The revolutionary cockades of former years re-appear in the streets, where the monks, and even the secu lar clergy are insulted. " Tne Regent has written a letter to the Governor of Oporto, General Saldanha, to congratulate him on his conduct against the partisans of Don Miguel, and she expresses to him her inabilty to govern with a Council of Regency, which, in virtue of the charter, she is about to dissolve. " While things arc thus passing at Lisbon, the provinces are be. coming the theatres of Anti-Constitutional reactions in favour of Don Miguel. New troubles have broken out at Oporto, Evora, Elva., Chaves, and Braganza. The province of Tras.os-Montes in particular, is greatly agitated. The nephew of General Silveira is at the head of a Royalist party. 4 Several General Officers have passed into Spain. The soldiers , who are gorse into Spain are disarmed as they arrive on the Spanith territory. The Portuguese frontier authorities, founding their demand on cartels of exchange, have claimed these detachments from the Governor of Badajos, who refers them to his Government. M. Gomez, Portuguese Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, has sent in his resignation to his Government." We are told that all the Members of the Royal Court had met at 11 o'clock on Friday, to a discussion on the question of M. DE Mormostas denunciation of the Jesuits. After an ample deliberation, that learned body came to the conclusion, that the entertaining of M. DE Mormostert's charge did not lie within their compe tence." This seems to be the only decision to which the Court could come on the vague statements and imprac ticable demands contained in the document to which their attention was called. Trinidad Papers to the 2d of July have brought a letter of instructions from Earl BATHURST to Colonel You're, appointed to the highly-important situation of Protector and Guardian of Slaves, in the Colony of Demerara, which evinces throughout the most marked anxiety to have it inculcated, that the obligations of the slave to the owner, so far from being, in any degree, weakened by the system of amelioration, which is sought to be introduced, ought, on the contrary, to be strength ened, in consideration of the protection granted to their just rights. The Trinidad Guardian of the SOth of June contains a long account of a meeting held in the town of Port of Spain, to remonstrate against the pro- posed measures of Govern Hunt. It is a curious feature in this account, that the speeches of two individuals who were present, M. FRANCOIS D'ARADIR, and M. Broorter, are reported in French. The petition to the Legislature was agreed to ; and on the motion of Mr. ifncuson, it was carried unanimously, that the Earl of ..WROMORRLAND should be requested to present it to the House of Lords. Mr. BURNLIT next proposed that Mr. Hums should present the same petition to the House of Commons, which was also agreed to. Mr. BU*NLRY, we believe, is the brother-in-law of Mr. Hums. A Proclamation had been issued by the Governor, doing away with all the securities formerly demanded from persons leaving the Colony, lest they might ab scond from it, on account of debt. The population of the island has increased, last year, according to the census, 1012. Only twelve Chinese remain out of the cargo of 200, brought to that island at the expense of 200/. sterling each to this country, in order to cultivate, civilise, and enlighten Trinidad. We quote from these Papers the following important communication from Earl BATHURST to Gen. D'URRAN, Demerara, as explanatory of the views of this country on Colonial matters : Downing-street, February 25, 1826. " The manumission of slaves, under these regulations, will be in conformity with the concluding Resolutions of the House of Cent mons in 1823, which deflates that the great object of Emancipa tion must be accomplished at the earliest period which shall be 1 1 compatible with the well-being of the slaves themselves, with the safety of the Colonies, and with a fair and equitable consideration of the interests of private property.' " But the Court of Policy must recollect, that if; on one hand, Parliament and his Majesty's Government stand pledged to give the Planters an equitable compensation, they stand equally pledged to take such measures as may ultimately, though gradually, work out the freedom of the slaves. - - - " !the Court of Policy may be assured that from the final accent. plishment of this object, this country will net be diverted." WITIM OP LOID •ATIOLST TO COMM 70V110, SLUT PPATICTOR, . the murder, or of ever having aided in such a crttue.• With this solemn appeal to the ALMIGHTY, he should leave his case to GOD, his Lordship, and to the Jury.— Tbey bad no witnesses to produce, arthey had not had the means of procuring their attendance. The prisoset's master was clear and collected, and be spoke with apparent sincerity. The Jury being about .to retire, Michael M•Keand again addressed them, repenting his former defence, and adding, that he had repeatedly slept where large sums of money were kept, without incurring suspicion. - Had he had means of procuring evidence, he could prove that he had not been intoxicated but twice since he had left home, a period of ‘is years. He begged the Jury not to be prejudiced by the false statements that had ap peared in the newspapers. Mr. Justin PA ltx said, that be was igtorant of any thing that had appeared upon the subject in the newspapers; he was sure the Jury would decide the case strictly upon the evidence. Verdict—both the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Justice PARE then pronounced the awful sentence of the law, and ordered them for execution on Monday, and their bodies to be dissected. Michael WiCeand then appealed solemnly to Gon, that he had never committed of contemplated the murder. What his brother might have done he coeld not say. The prisoners were then re moved from the Cow. ISOM TDB TRINIDAD PAPW. " Downing-street, filth April, 1026. " Sts—Previously to your taking possession of the very arduous and important situation to which you have been appointed as pro tector of slaves, it is necessary that I should convey to you some special instructions for the regulation of your conduct in the exer cise Bits various duties. " 11 will be your particular duty as protector of slaves, to watch over the faithful execution of all such provisions or regulation. with respect to the treatment of slaves as are at present in forte in Demerara, or as may at any future time be established there by any lawful authority. " You will, if necessary, apply to the Local Government for any facilities which may give you a more complete opportunity of re ceiving and considering complaints which may be preferred by the slaves against their owners, or any other persons exercising a dele gated authority over them; and you will not fail to make a report to the Lieutenant-Governor ' which will be transmitted to me, en the subject of any practical impediments which may be found in the execution of any part of your duty. " You will not deem it necessary in all cases to wait to receive ;complaints front the slaves themselves; but if you shall hear of any unwarrantable treatment to which any slave, or any gang of slaves, are exposed, you will repair to the estate, and there institute a diligent inquiry into the conduct of those persons who may be responsible upon the occasion. " You will not, however, forget, in the execution of your office, that it is also your duty to secure all the legal rights of the pro prietor as wail as of the slave, as far as they are involved in any transaction with you as protector. 1 . You must exercise a constant discretion in impressing upon the minds of the slaves in the most forcible manner, that the men. sires which have been pr6vided for their protection are in no de gree to interfere with the unremitting practice of industry and obedience, to which, under prescribed regulatihns, their owners are by law entitled ; but, on the contrary, that those duties are the more strictly IA be observed by them in proportion as the law and regulation tom pnte, to prevent any improper eacretse of the authority of the master. tuil must explain to them, chat although they may a l ways expect to find in you a vigilant friend and protector in all cas e s where such protection can be properly -required, they will at the tame time bnd you entire:y determined to discountenance say hi. 'ohms and unfounded complaints which may be preferred by them 'against their Masters. " You will not fail to make It your early and peculiar study to fix on the minds of the slaves, by suck arguments and explanations as are suited to their state of information and comprehrnsion i the principlei which are contained in this letter, and which petead e all that course of legislation which his Majesty's Government have established and recommended in pursuance of the resolutions of both Houses of Parliament.—l have, &c. 4 , BATHURST. (Signed) " Lieut.-Col. Young, Protector of Slaves." The accounts fromTITZI sta . e, t► , at twenty fi , e thousand French troops are to enter Spain; but this account dues not gain much credit. The accounts from Lisbon, dated August 2, state that the Pawns RIMSrr has sent an express to the Vng of Stunt, complaining of the Spanish Military Governor,, for permitting whole Regiments of Portuguese, in open rebellion, to enter Spank with their colours dying and drums beating : this remonstrance is said to have had the desired effect on FIaIDIAND, who has sent orders for the like not to happen again.

TiAs seconds then interfered, an explanation ensued, which proved satisfactory to both parties. Doctors Vanes' and G. Mater attended on the occasion. Since the appearance of reviving trade at Glasgow, a good many goods have been packed for exportation. They are chiefly printed goods, stripes and checks, shifting. and coarse linens. No branch of the cotton trade has suffered au little as the coarse goods (stripes and checks) for domestic consumption. MATH3WII' Life Preserver must, we suspect, have been of Irish construction, as it appears to have brought his life into jeopardy, when it could have been in no danger without it. ST. PETSRSHURGII, AUGUST s.—According to an official statement in our Commercial &setts 71 the , commerce of Russia, from 1812 to the middle of this year, the total receipt of the Customs in the whole empire was, 578,486,029 rubles. The amount last year alone was 55,717,070 rubles, and during the first half of the present year 25,893,035 rubles. A young Greenhorn from the country was fined Is. at Marlborough-street on Thursday (be pleading ignorance), for inscribing the initial V. of his' sweetheart's name on a seat in Ken sington-gardens. The warning was wanted. At a recent dinner given in one of the towns on the borders of the Principality, various family toasts were given, such as t i Lord and the House of Mr. ••••• and the House of ," and so forth, until at length every House, gnat and little, was given. An Officer present was called upon to give a toast," Why really, Gentlemen, (said he) there is hardly a' House left fur me; but I'll give you Mr. Jones and the House of Indus try.' "—This bit at the absurdity of some of the former toasts caused roars of laughter. The King of BAVARIA has seat to M. ETNA RD a suns of 106.0001. of which 80,000 f. are from his own purse, and 26,000 f. subscribed by the members of his family, to be employed in the deliverance of the Greeks. The following is the KING'S letter : " To alleviate the misery of the Christians of the East, I had sub scribed 20,000 florins, or 43,097 francs, „payable in ten following months. As this relief might come too late, I place this sum now at your disposal, and even double it, that you may be able to afford more effectual aid. These 86,000, which you may immediately dis pose of, are independent of the 20,000 francs which I remitted you to redeem the Greek women and children. With what pleasing satisfaction de I make this new sacrifice for uufertunate Christians; for, am I not a man and a Christian ?" A great number of sharks have appeared off the coast in pursuit of pilchards. The usual number of Lon don Sharks have also made their appearance at the watering places, to prey on the fiats at the ;ambling rooms. There are abundance of loose,sh at Brighton. At Lancaster Assizes, Patrick Mullins, a little boy, aged eleven, was indicted for the wilful murder of Anne ISylam, aged eight, by striking her with a poker, and beating her head against the wall, on 22d May last.— The parties had had a childish dispute, when the prisoner seized a poker, and, after a struggle with the little girl, he snuck her on the back with it. He then knocked the deceased's head against the wall. She was taken to the Infirmary, and died next day. The prisoner was convicted of manslaughter, and is to be transported for life. Monday night the paper mill at Scotswood, near Newcastle, the property of Mr. Thomas Ramsay, was discovered to be on fire, and the whole of the ex tensive and very valuable machinery was completely destroyed, excepting the steam engine, which is serioudy damaged. There were upwards of 2300 reams of paper, independent of a large quantity of rope and loose sheers in preparation, on the premises when the fi , e bloke our.
