I beard a fair use cry ; Bat give to me the roaring breeze, And white waves heaving high ; Awl white waves heaving high, my boys ! Tbe good ship tight and free ; The world of waters is our home, And merry men are we. There's tempest in yon horned moon, And lightning in yon cloud. And, bark! the music, ntaiiners. The wind is piping loud ; The wind is piping loud, my boys ! • The lightning lashes free, While the hollow oak our palace is, Oar heritage the sea. • - ASS IZE INTELLIGENCE. --mid.— WARWICK, Mama 30. Bayliss was indicted fur manslaughter, in killing and slaying Elizabeth Egan, a child of four years of age, by dragging and forcing her along, without ad ministering to her proper food, thereby exhausting her, through which she languished and died. John Egan, the father of the child, lodged in Mill lane, Birmingham. The prisoner came to lodge at the same house.. He was remarked for his attentions to the child. Upon one occasion, witness saw the child fob. lowigg the prisoner. and reproved her. The prisoner said, be was going to take her to some brick•kilas. Witness found his child dead in Oakley-wood, near Tachbrook, on tie Friday week following the day he last saw her at home. William Sumner, a brass founder, at Stratford-upon- Avon, saw the prisoner with the - child at an inn at that place: The prisoner said, the child was his own, his 4 , very own child." It cried when-the prisoner attempted 'to-remove it from its seat to go away. The prisoner kissed it, and promised to buy it a cake. When he went away, he said he was going to take the child to • its mother. The little girl appeared almost famished, and ate voraciously. The prisoner had paid little or n alten;ion to it. John Hobbins kept a lodging-house for paupWs, it Stratford-upon-Avon; prisoner and the child lodged there on the 9th September. He said the child was his own; that the mother was a di unken woman, and had abandoned it. The child appeared under restraint, and would not speak. After the, prisoner had left, witness, accompanied by Egan, the father, made search for him. They found hiin, without the child, at Snitterfield. lie said the child was with his mother. Upon his mother entering the room, however, the prisoner said he bad left the child in a field near Oakley-wood. He afterwards said the child was dead ; that she was taken with a vo- Inkling, upon which he held her head ; she gut worse; and he put her in his lap; in about ten...minutes she screamed and died.

Thomas Hiruns, surgeon, at Warwick, examined the child's body, 'There *as no external mark of 'violence. She died from grad fatigue and exhaustion. tier stomach contained nothing but blackberries.

By the Act of the 29th of Elizabeth, c. 4, the Sheriff is entitled to receive one shilling in the pound, except in simple contract debts (and this was ooe). The Learned Counsel then cited " Thornton v. Merridew," &fool. Fuller, p. 382, to illustrate his argu ment. The Act of the 43d of the same Queen gave treble coots to the parties aggrieved, where it was taken, and directed that the Sheriff's remedy was against the plaint If for his poundage.

EQUIVABLII TEA Aoancr Comeawr.—Yesterday, Mr. Guittedery. the Managing Director of the Equitable Tea Agency Company, appeared' before the Loan, MA Tog, to ansyeer a complaint made by Mr. Torriano, the Solicitor, upon the part of Mr. Bell, of Hudders- The Loan Ma ron.—You haie been sent for, Mr. Goundery. to answer the charge of having obtained, by false pretences, two bills of exchange for the amount of 921. 2s. ; and you also are charged with having appropriated money put into your hands to other pur- poses than those for which it was delivered to you. The Luau Macon then desired Mr. Bell to state his complaint. Mr. Bell said, that he had first becume acquainted with Mr. Goundery in the course of last summer, when in the employment of a respectable tea-dealer. Afterwards Mr. Goundery and he had some correspondence upon the subject of purciaa,ing tea, and be coming a Shareholder in the Company, having been led to do so in consequence of the inducements held out to him of advantage de rivable from the premiums on the shares. On the 19th of Dee. Mr. Bell transmitted 921. 2s. to Mr. Goundery, in two bills of ex• change, both of which had been duly honoured in London, and ordered four chests of tea to be sent in return. Mr. Goundery not having sent the tea, several priming letters were written to him by Mr. Bell, but no aatisfactory reply could be obtained until the first of January, when an account was received by the Inver. By. this account Mr. 8.11 was surprised to find himself debited in the sum of 401. as a deposit on 10 shares in the Equitable Tea Agency Com pany. Mr. Bell transmitted the whole correspondence to London, in order to obtain legal advice on the subject, and the papers being placed in Mr. Torriane's bands, that gentleman, on the 16th 'inst. wrote to Mr. Goundery, and also to the only Director whose resi dence he could discover, stating that unless Mr. Bell's demand was instantly satisfied,such proc.edings would be adopted as might be deemed most advisable. Mr. Torriano proceeded upon a charge of the misdemeanor. Mr. Bell then deposed to the purcluse of ten shares from Mr. Goundery, on the representation that a company was in existence, of which be was managing director. Ile would not, of course, have purchased. had be been aware that no suck company existed. He paid .ElO for the shares, and had never seen any thing of the shares since. • Mr. Torriano then called John Greatorez Marshall. Mr. Marshall said, he had been a traveller fur several tea homes until lately.—( Mr. Marshall's - name had appeared in the list of Directors.)—He denied that he was a Director t er that be had ever consented to become one, or to allow the use of his name as such. It had been printed entirely without his consent. He was not ac quainted with any one Director, nor did he believe there vivre any Directors, or that there was any thing like a Company at all. He admitted that he had called at the office *nee or twice, spd saw persons there, but be did nut know them. All be ever did in the office was directing a few letters, containing tea lists, for Mr. Gown (bay, at his request. He never received any money for what he had done, and never beard what quantities of tea bad been sold. In answer to questions front Mr. Goundery, the witness said be never attended any meeting, and never, to his knowledge, met any body at the Counting-house. Mr. Goundery-1 can prove that yon The printer of the Shares stated, that no more than 1000 had been printed. The shares produced by Mr. Bell were numbered from 9,000 upwards. Mr. Goundery said that there was a Company, that shares had been issued and sold, and deposits paid upon them, and that in consequence of Mr. Bell having written for some a number were allotted to him. Mr. Heil said he hail written in consequence of the circular, which stated that a Company had been formed.

This case was ably stated by Counsellor Holmes, who described the plaintiff as a small farmer living near BAllyclare. He bad two sons and three daughters, the youngest of whom was the unfortunate subject of the present action, who, after a long couitship, and under the most solemn promise of marriage, in an unguarded mchment yielded to the artifices of the de fendant ; but when the object of bis seduction became pregnant, he basely deserted her, and mat vied another woman. The defendant is a grocer in Ballyclare, in good circumstances, and this action was brought by the plaintiff for damages for the loss-ot his daughter% services; and he trusted the would this day thew the delendant, and all such persons, that they should not, vritb impunity, sport with the feeliegs of virtuous inno cente, nor wantonly destroy the happiness Of *rec. tionate parents. Ellen M'Adoo was then called—She seemed to be a modest and simple country girl,.and appeared upwards of 20 years of age, though she described herself as be tween 18 and 19. Being examined, she said her lathe, and mother were both ; she resided with them, and managed the affairs of the house ; she had two sisters matried, and two brothers younger than herself. Thomas Alexander, the defendant, was a grocer in Ballyclare ; he became intimate in witness% family, and very attentive to her, nearly three years agb; was courting, witness; witness's father diJ not know much about their courting; did not tell him; he would not let witness speak to Alexander ; witness's mother heard of the courtship ; before she consented to him, he swore to her with uplifted hand,• being a seceder, that he would marry her, and also swore her not t' marry another; the reason for not then marrying, he said, was, that part of his money was in the hands of his brother,. and until he got it, be could not marry her; witness and defendant were often together ; defendant first succeeded in seducing witness in Noeember,lB2l. ; she bore a child to him on the 4th of December ; in March or April, defendant asked witness if she was pregnant to him, and she said she would tell him in eight days, but she did not see him afterwards, and in about eight days she heard he was mariied to another woman: he had left the farm,and set. reed to Ballyclarr. Cross-examined by Counsellor Scutvm—Witness is only between 1$ and 19; never spoke to any ether young man but the defendant ; father's house con sists of one room and a kitchen; witness slept in a loft over a kitchen; witness and the defendant were frequently in the room alone ; there the first in tercourse took place; it was in November, about day light going; does not know if her father and mother were in the kitchen at the time ; witness knows John Murray; he might have been in the kitchen when de fendant and witness went into the room together; never went to the defendant's house by night or day; never went to his bed-room ; the room in father's house was where her father and mother slept ; there was one bed in it, which might sometimes be made, and sometimes not made,when witness and defendant went into the room. Robt. M'Clelland was married to plaintiff's daughter, and lived in the neighbourhood—Knew defendant for ten years; witness had a conversation with him about his sister-in.law ; he said he was going to be married to her ; defendant. kept her company till about twelve months since, and up to the time he was married.— Defendant was considered by the country, and by his own conversation, as courting the girl in an honour able way. Defendant, at that time, said be was about taking a place in the country, but said he would rather purchase a place, were it to cost him 1,0001. which he could do, if he had his money from his brother, and owe no man a shlling. Ellen M'Adoo is now about 13. Counsellor ScalvaN spoke at great length for the de fendant, describing him as a man more sinned against than sinning, and in fact as the party who had been seduced by the plaintiff's daughter, aided by all her relations, and that if a parent suffered the most unre served int. rcourse to take place between his daughter and a young man almost wider his eye, he should not complain when the result happened to be, as in this case, the lon of her virtue, and the loss abet services. James Car, a country lad, was then called.—Witness had been in plaintiff's house when the defendant was there. Plaintiff and his wife were at the time in the kitchen, and defendant and Ellen M 4 Adoo were together in the room • witness heard Ellen's' voice-from the roons,, telling defe ndant, in a kind of laughing manner, not to break her finger. This was about ilaich,•lB24. George M'Murray was labouring servant with defendant in 1825.

Mien went home about twelve at night, a female cousin of her own came with her, and went home with her. Counsellor Psttaf.r addressed the Jury for the plain tiff, and vindicated him and his daughter from the allegations of seducing the defendant, whose heartless conduct he reprobated in severe turns. He called upon the Jury to consider the customs and manners of per sons in the humble situations of life of the plaintiff, which sanctions very different modes of courtship, un der the most virtuous intentions, from what was prac tised in more elevated ranks, where more delicate and reserved conduct was observed, and called upon them for a verdict to check such profligates as the dependant. The Learned Juana, in an able and impartial address, committed the ease to the Jury, as one peculiarly within their province, fur appreciating the merits of the case, and the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. The Jury retired, and in a short time returned with a verdict for plaintiff-2W. damages, and costs.

He was angry and uneasy, and altemptei to go out a second time, but was prevented by Lovett. He again asked Lovett whether he would leave the hods.' ? and he replied he would remain there as long as he thought proper. The deceased then left the house, and the pri soners set down at the kitchen fire together. They con versed with each other in so low a tone that the son could not hear them. In some time after the deceased returned, and concealed himself behind the door, lis- tening to the prisoners' conversadon. He then again desired Lovett to go home, but he refused ; and getting up, he laid held of the deceased, and tripped him up; he fell, and Lovett over him. The deceased repeatedly called out to Lovett to let him go, and not to kill him. Young Creane, hearing his father's cries, came from his. bed, and called out to Lovett to let go his father,but Lovett told him his father had a cholic, and that he (prisoner) was taking him off the ground. Lovett still remained over deceased, cooking hint, and Johanna went to the other side f the body, and squeezed his throat under the ear. Lovett was lying upon the body, with his knees pressed upon the stomach. The boy v..a, frightened, and did not endeavour to go out to give the alarm.

The deceased was buried two days after ; and about a week after the deceased's eldest son and his brother were sent to their uncle, on account of her inability to support them, when the boy related the circumstance. The uncle, however, cautioned him to keep it a secret, as his mother would be hanged. On the 19th of June following the prisoners got married, and then they were appreLerided.

HALLS—Really, Sir, your conduit altogether has been so extraordinary, that although I can have no objection to yoar know ing my name, I do not feel myself called upon to show you even the courtesy of giving the information you require. It is, however, very well known here who I am, and if you wish to be informed, one tat the gaolers, I dare say, will tell you. Mr. Carney did not reply, but walked away without making the enquiry of the gaoler. II A RY-LA-BONNF.

Thomas Lovell, who was convicted, with Julianne, his site, of the murder of Creane. the former hurban.l of Johanna Lovett, was executed at Tralee on the 24th ult. Johanna Lovett, after the delivery of the verdict, was ascertained re be in a state of pregnancy, and the execution of her sentence was consequently postponed for two m , nibs. Lovett fully confessed the justice of his sentence. The partner of his guilt was not per mitted to disturb his last moments, but his aged father and mother, who betrayed the deepest affliction, were admitted to his cell; the interview was affecting in the highest degree. At his execution he betrayed much want of firmness, and was so exhausted and depressed as scarcely to be able to make his W. 47 to the platform. in a few seconds be was, launched into eternity. His body, after hanging the usual time, was cut down, a3d ibrwarded, under a strong escort of the polite, to the General Infirmary fur dissection. His father and mother were allowed to sit on the coffin. They wept bitterly and aloud during the melancholy procession. The sin gular atrocity of this barbarous and unnatural murder makes it quite iiitinct from the ordinary features of human guilt.
