ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. IRD CIRCUIT—HEREFORD, Avows: ie. DEVEREUX V. VENCOTT. an action to recover the sum of 201. on an .y e bill, and the evidence given on the part of the -gntiff proved the business done, and that the charges were fair and reasonable. On the part of the defendant it was alleged that at the time he employed the plaintiff he was in a state of lunacy, which the plaintiff must have known. It did not appear, however, that any commission of lunacy had been issued against him, and the Jury, therefore, found for the plaintiff. AUGU sz 19. Thomas Ridge was indicted for steal ing five rams, the property of Richard Smith, at Here ford. The evidence being insufficient; he was acquitted. HOME CIRCUIT.—LEWILS, Avaver 19. Citowir &Dz.—Before Mr.Jostlee PAIL James Mills,George Moody, and Harriett Bevis, were indicted—the two former for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Richard Buckley Stone, at Eastbourne, and stealing cloth and other articles to the amount, in the whole, of 50/. and the latter with receiv ing a shawl, part of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. BRODRICK prosecuted and Mr. CLARK sox de fended.—The prosecutor's house was broken open on the 7th of last April, and the property in question removed. It appeared that the thieves had gained admittance by a window; from this window they had previously broken a pane of glass ; before they broke it they had stuck a sheet of brown paper with tar to the glass, so that when it was broken no noise was caused. A quantity of tar, in per forming this operation, had been spilt on the window stool, and in that were the marks of corduroy breeches or trousers moved over it. Inquiries were made in all directions as to who the persons could be who had com mitted the robbery, and it was then discovered, that on the evening previous to the robbery the two male pri soners were seen going towards the prosecutor's house at Eastbourne, and one of them was dressed in corduroy trousers ; they were accordingly taken into custody, and then Moody had on a pair of corduroy trousers, on which were marks of tar, similar to those which would have been caused by the tar on the window stool in the prosecutor's house. On one was found a handkerchief, which had been taken from the prosecutor's house ; and the ether was proved to have pawned a piece of cloth which was missing from the same place. As to the female prisoner, who was a woman of the town, no other evidence could he adduced against her than that she had pledged a shawl of which prosecutor's premises had been robbed. • The Jury found the two male prisoners Guilty, and acquitted the woman. Death recorded against the two former prisoners. Caroline Wood was charged with stealing thirteen sovereigns and a half, from James Wood, her father, at Broadwater. The circumstances of this case were peculiarly dis treming. The prosecutor, who is the prisoner's father, had made several efforts to reclaim his daughter from the abandoned courses in which she had involved herself, but without effect. She having committed this robbery on him, he thought the best he could do was to prosecute her, and leave it for the discretion of the Court to deter mine how she should be disposed of.—Guilty. Mr. Justice PARK, in most affecting terms, pointed out the peculiar heinousness of the prisoner's offence ; and told her that as the most merciful course he could pursue, and that which was most likely to be beneficial to her, v. as, to sentence her to seven years' transportation ; he should write to the Secretary of State, and represent to hint that this was a proper case for the sentence to be car ried entirely into effect. The prisoner appeared perfectly callous until this sen tence was pronounced upon her by the Learned Judge. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—COVENTRY, Aug. 19. CROWN ED& Before the LORD CNISI Eason and a Town Jury. Elizabeth Carter, an elderly female, was arraigned upon a charge of having 'wilfully and maliciously caused the death of a child of five years of age, by cutting her throat with a razor. Mr. HILL, the Counsel for the prosecution, called the witnesses, from whose statements we gathered that early in the forenoon of the 17th of June last, she went to the house of a neighbour and asked to have her child, which was in the habit of coming to stay at her house. Mrs. Wills (the mother), suffered the child to go, and about 11 o'clock the prisoner went into Mr. Coleman's (another neighbour), exhibiting great alarm and agitation, exclaiming " I am no more ; I am no more." She had the key of her house in her hand, which she begged Mr. Coleman to take, as there was somebody there ; he refused at first, and at length took it and gave it to his wife. She met Mrs. Wills at the door and gave her the key, as she feared something had happened. Mrs. Wills went, unlocked the door, and called the little girl (who was about five years old) by name ; she got no answer, and going up stairs, to her horror saw the infant lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She shrieked, and instantly assistance came. The pri soner all this time was in Mr. Coleman's house, exclaim ing incoherently, " What have I done? I am lost for ever !" and exhibiting such symptoms as induced them to send for medical aid. Mr. Fitzpatrick (Editor of the Coventry Observer) and another surgeon were called in, and she was placed under the former gentleman's care, who stated in evidence that she exhibited symptoms of inflammation of the brain, and in his opinion inflamma tion of the brain was a primary cause of insanity. The Mayor of Coventry (Samuel Whitwell, Esq.) cor roborated this testimony, the prisoner having been under his care, as county surgeon, after her commitment on the Coroner's Inquest; and some witnesses were called by Mr. Waddington for the defence, who proved her insanity. The LORD CITIEF BARON summed up the evidence, and remarked that no doubt could exist in the minds of the Jury as to the actual commission of the fact by the prisoner ; but the chief consideration for them was as to her sanity ; and if from what they had heard they were of opinion that she was not in a proper state of mind at the period at which this shocking matter occurred, she was in effect innocent of the charge. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. The prisoner, during the whole of the trial, rocked herself backwards and forwards in a chair, with which the hamane Judge had ordered her to be accommodated , and from wh a t we cou ld l earn, t hi s is her usual mode of behaving herself. Le Figaro, the most witty and the most spiteful of the Paris minor journals, appeared on Sunday last with a black mar gin, and with this advertisement to its subscribers There is a talk about the restoration of the Censorship par o►jLmnntses.—As we have nothing to fear from the tribenals, we declare that we will despise that measure whenever it shall be adopted. If our press should be stormed by an attack of the gendamerie, we will cause our paper to be composed and printed in a cellar. , Our subscribers may rest quiet under any circumstances; they shall receive our paper regularly, should we have occasion to print it out of Paris— even In Belgium." •7 • al" jar.c. ox FOB This was POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW—STRRET. 21splor, the man charred with stealing a cloak the pr,,perry of the Right Hon. Robert Peel, was rc.ex .mined. Lord Farnham's servant, Dawson, proved that he took the pri soner with the coat in his possession; and a servant of Mr. Peel proved that the property bad been stolen a few minutes before. The prisoner was fully committed by Sir RICHARD Biases( to take his trial for the felony. A man of the name of Kendall, who is well known for hia ec centricity, came before Sir RICHARD Biases yesterday, and com plained of a nuisance, which, be said, existed near St. Martin's Church, where the houses, for making the improvements in that part of the metropolis, bad been Wien down. He said that great numbers of boys, most of them thieves, assembled on the ruins, attacked passengers by pelting them, and many persons were robbed with impunity. Sir &cumin Boum said that the Beadles and Street Keepers ought to remove the nuisance, and the parish officers should be applied to on the subject. The applicant asked if he should apply to the Churchwardens en the subject ? Sir 'bemuse Maxim—You should find the Beadles and inform them. The applicant replied—find a Beadle; I have been every where to find one, and cannot ; will you grant me a search warrant to find one ?—(excessive laughter). Sir R. Brays—l never heard of such an application before; I have granted warrants for finding stolen goods and robbers, but never issued one to find a beadle. Kendall.—lf you will not grant a warrant I will bid you good morning. WORSHIP STREET. &Albald Paris, Esq. of Beech-hill, was summoned before SA. non Twrrean, Esq. for causing to be driven through the public streets, a cart Stied with soil, not having proper splash boards, and duly covered, as required by the Act of Parliament. The offence incurs a penalty of live pounds, and 30 days's imprisonment to the driver. The beadle and surveyor of Goswell-street swore that they ob served a waggon filled with soil passing down Goswell-street, and part of its contents slopped out on the pavement. On the other part. it was distinctly sworn that the waggon was properly tarnished, and the ordure was thickened with ashes and covered with straw, and was about to be conveyed to Mr. Paris's farm, near Enfield. The Magistrate said there was clearly an offence committed against the Act referred to and therefore inflicted the full penalty. Notice of appeal was given, and the defendant entered into re. cognisapces for the carman. Many Hugha was charged with embezzling a considerable sum of money, the property of his master, John Brind. The prisoner was in his employ as carman, and was accustomed to receive sums of money from him to pay various charges. It was discovered that the money was applied to other purposes, and the prisoner absconded.-111 defence the prisoner said nothing, and was fully committed. MA R L BO ROU G H-STREET. Yesterday Robert Pau and John rower, the latter a boy about fourteen years of age, were brought up on the following charge • Harris, a watchman, stated that for the last four or five nights he had observed the prisoner Paine encouraging some young lads to pick Gentlemen's pockets. Ott Wednesday night he saw him opposite the Haymarket Theatre, encouraging the other prisoner. who made several un►ucces.ful attempts to pick the pockets of persons coming out of the Theatre. At length he took them both into custody. Paine was only discharged from the House of Correction last week, where he had been confined three month. for a similar offence. The other prisoner is not known at the office. Paine said be was looking out for work, and it was a hard case to be taken Into custodg merely on account of his former conduct. The watchman hero produced a perfumed silk handkerchief, which he said he fountfon Paine, and which Paine declared was his own. Mr. Roe said he was determined to put a stop to the horrid practice of bringing up young boys to thieving. He then com mitted both prisoners for one month to the House of Correction. TOWN HALL Catharine Nilsen and limy Neste were charged with robbing a Gentleman of his gold watch and seals. The prosecutor stated that he was passing along the High.street, Borough, between eleven and twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, when the prisoner Wilson threw her arms around him ; the moment she was gone he missed his watch. Mr. Martin, pawnbroker, Tooley street, stated that the prisoner attempted to pledge the witch ; the other prisoner was in company'. Wilson laughed and said, " things were come to a pretty pass, when ladies' favours were expected for nothing ; she had bartered ben for Ns. sod the watch was given to her to pledge for that sum, the gentleman having no ready cash." Alderman J. J. SMITH said she might tell that story to a Jury, and committed her to the Assizes for trial. Neale was discharged. THAMES POLICE. John &aptness alias Burke, and Mary Ryan, were charged with uttering bad money. •illr. Powell, solicitor to the Mint, attended, and stated that the prisoners w ere o ld offenders. They belonged to an organised gang, who carried on their trade at the Eastern pan of the Metropolis, and at the fairs in the country. Their plan was to disperse themselves over a neighbourhood, but within sight Ouch other, one carrying the bag and supplying the utterer' with a - single piece of coin as it was wanted, and receiving the goods which had been obtained. The prisoners had been both tried and convicted in 1824 and 1826. The female prisoner here exclaimed, " Gen forgive you for telling lies o' the like o' me. Sure I knows nothing about you or your bad money either." Blaby and Fogg, two of the officers of the establishment, proved having seen the prisoners go into several shops, where they purchased trifling articles, and contrived to pass bad money. In Stapleton 's pocket was found two pigs' tails, a mutton chop, some pieces of soap, a handful of halfpence, pins, thread, needles, scissors, a sheep's heart, a bad shilling, a piece of cook-shop pudding, and about a dozen onions. The prisoners were both fully committed upon three charges of uttering. An extensive and intelligent agriculturist, MArrilEw Cuusv. Esq. of Coupland Castle, in Northumberland, says, " Speaking generally of Scotland, Highlands and Lowland., its uplands and rich carses,the fertile banks of the Tweed, Northam. berland, Durham, and Yorkshire, from actual survey; the South of England from accurate and trusty observers, we must pro flounce the present crop a failure. so far as we can form an opinion of a crop unreaped, and on which, in the North at least, a change of weather may exercise a beneficial influence ; the probabilities, however, are against such a favourable an ticipation, for nature seldom showers her bounties upon us for many seasons in succession, and we have had nine crops of extra ordinary abundance. The litter pars of the last summer, was the first deviation from the just proportion of heat and moisture which are necessary to a perfect evolution of vegetative vigour. The early part of this summer (if summer it may be called) has been deficient in both, but more especially in beat (as a reference to the thermo meter will decide), having rarely in the north reached summer-heat. And although, since the rains fell, there has been a manifest im provement in all crops, yet there is a slenderness of stem, and consequent Smallness of the ear, indicative of the want of vigour. Winter wheats in England are the wily exceptions in point of bulk, bat not as to ear. Spring wheat is universally a failure ; but as this mode of culture is confined to the north, it can only have a limited operation on the general supply. Oats and barley are miserable, except on fine rich soils and warm situations. The same remark, with the same exception, applies to green crops. Po tatoes are languid. Early sown turnips came at two growths, and must be irregular; the latter sown brairded well, but advance no further unless under very favourable circumstances. All cold dis theta have of course suffered most, we are afraid irretrievably. Hay is a very deficient crop, consisting only of dry wiry rye-grass, the clover having generally gone off through the winter and spring ; to supply this deficiency in artificial grasses is a matter of deep import. As there is a Ripply of over-year hay remaining, of a very poor quality, no serious rise in price has taken place, nor is antici pated." RELIGIOUS DIABOLISNI.—Le Compte de S‘voi ob serves,'• Si lieu a fait l'humme a son image. l'homme k lui a blen rondo." Reason leads to the discovery of the Divine attti butes as pure abstractions; but as no man can rise to the conception of higher principles of action than those of which he is himself con scious, when fools or impostors throw the Divinity into action, they necessarily impart to their idea something of their own weakness and infirmities. Let the creed of any sect be as puce and ai ek sated as it may, the mass of bigots, hypocrites, and mal-orga nised beings among its professors inevitably end in worshipping a demon. They may continue to caii the idol of this fabrication the reflection of their own vices and follies, " most wise or most merciful," du. &c. ; but they attribute to their teaml phantom their own hateful passions and narrow views ; and the result is a being, just so much worse than thennelve., t 3 he is more powerful and more uncontrouled. Such is the origin of religion. klisholiern— for an illustration of which see the self-tormenting wet- of India, who preach a doctrine of perpetual suffering and • bodily an g ui s h as bring most ple as i ng to t h e G OD of all Go Ste, too, the gloomy Calvinists, and long-faced Sectarians, and the dark preacher, of sacrifice all over the world. Between the religion of love anti fear, what a difference! It is that beautiful traditional picture of the human divinity, the Ecce Homo of Carlo Dlcr, eppooed 14) the grim and gaunt idol of the Pagrida of the Lodi Morgan's Book of the Boudoir.

A NAUGHTY LITTLE Boy.—At the Salisbury Assizes, on Tuesday, the Court was occupied for nearly two hours in the. investigation of a charge—a very solemn one indeed—namely, the stealing of a piece of gooseberry-pie by an urchin of 14 years of age.

In the course of the day a person stated to the Court that be had suffered very severe losses by persons who h a d taken the benefit of the Act, and that although he had gwwl grounds for opposition (as he conceived) in tw•o or three cases, he found the expense attending such a coun t . so excessive, that he should be obliged to put up with his losses without further investigation. He wishe t i, however, to state to the Court, that an insolvent would shortly be brought before the Court whose debts Wen. very heavy, and whose schedule alone contained front four to five hundred folios ! As it was necessary, should he oppose this man, that he should be provided with an office copy of the schedule, he had made application to the clerks in the office of this Court, and he found that, by the present regulations, he must pay Si. or 91. for it ! He considered that this was a very great and unneces sary expense, and operated as a great hardship upon creditors, many of whom were deterred from opposing an insolvent (although gross fraud might be proved) front their unwillingness or incapacity to meet such heavy charges. This opposition would cost him (the applicant) nearly 201. and he wished to ask if the Court would permit him to have a copy of the schedule without re sorting to so great an expense ? The Commissioner (Bow EN) said that he was aware of the hardship to creditors, but it was not in the power of: the Court to help the applicant, the rules and regulations of the office of the Court being under the controul of th,. Secretary of State. It was stated that the insolvent alluded to by the person who made the above application is an ex-book seller who failed i for a large stun but three years ago, and now petitioned this Court to be discharged from debts to the amount of 25,0001.
