Penes to ;at Address of the Honourable the House of Commons. dated !Ranh 13, 1827, for Cosies of all Dispatches which his Majesty's tioyerntisent have received from Jamaica, relative to an Attack made on the Weiler.° Alissionzry Alerting house, and the Dwelling of Mr. Ratcliffe. the Alivionary, at Christmas last ; as far as the same have been received. King's House, Jamaica, April 30. llf Lotio--flaving observed is a late London Paper a motion made by Dr. Lu•liiiigion. for an inquiry into the circumstances of an attack which is stated to have be, ti made duru•g the late Christ. out hol!days, fill the residence of a Wesleyan Minister residing at St. Ann'. Ilay, I think it proper to inform your Lordship, without waiting for your Lordship's instructions to that effect, that no Re. port ti..s been made to me of this unfortunate occurrence, and I Aare only hard of it casually. As far as I can learn, it %Va. a Osurileu fr.,l:c amongst some of the privates on guard, intended to alarm t:te Wesleyan Missionaries. I have never heard, nor du I beli•rr, that it was connected with, or the consequence of, the oron,r. peached oy the Rector of she parish, but was entirely sopretueditated, however much the outrage committed is to be reprobated and deplored. I hive lately learned from the Attorney-General that a strict isvestig-tion, which lasted many days, took place c.si the part 'lithe Magistrates, assisted by a Barrister, who was a Wesleyan himself ; ....I no evidence could be brought forward sufficient to induce a Grand Jury to find a Pill. Under these circumstances, it was ec.med more prudent to offer a reward of lOW. for the conviction of t h e offenders ; and it was hoped, that by appearing to let the matter drop, some of the parties concerned in the :lot might be induced to make some disclosures which would lead to the punish inem of the delinquents. • Your Ixardslop is, of course, aware that this event took place after the :omission of the Session. ..... In regard to the sermon preached by the Rector of St. Ann, and which is so strongly commented on by Dr. Lushington, I under stand that it has been repeatedly pteached before in this Island; that it vas nut written by Mr. Bridges, but by the late Archdeacon of Culciester. And as it has been stated by Dr. Lushington that Mr. liMiLes receives a yearly sum of 500!. from the public of Jamaica for a pamphlet which he wrote some years ago, It is only proper that such a mistatement should be corrected, as the only sum that Gentleman ever teceived from the Assembly was .5001. sterling, in order to afford hiss the means of publishing his" Annals at Lataica." I shall take care t s forward to your Lordship soch detailed in formrion as I may he able to obtain respecting the affair at St. Anti's Bay. I shall also transmit to your Lordship a copy of Mr. firdges's sermon. in the meantime I can venture to assure your lordship with perfect confidence, that there has been no participa nun of public feeling in the outrage there committed ; that Mission aries of all descriptions are treated with respect and moderation, asd any attempt to insult or oppress them would meet with general reprobation.

Ms. WATERHOUSE'S EFFECTS. The of Little S nkcley resented to day a scene of intuival bustle and activity. Almost every horse, gig, and cltaite in the county, was put into ru quisitiun, and numerous Gentlemen, harmers, and Jo( kies of high and low degrees, with droves of pedestrians, attended trom a distance to visit the far famed Parsonage, and be present at the sale of the effects of the ideceased Rector. Above 139 horses were accommodated at the two ioine-houses, and there could scaled) , be a less number, turned into cki-es, and fastened to the different gates and hedges. ' 1 1 hough living tit such a muddling way," as the villagers term it, few farmers could b oas t o f a . b etter stoc k e d f arm-yar d , or a I greater 'satiety of good furniture, than Mr. Waterhouse. Ile had filteen horses, ab,.ut the same number of cows and cakes, two hundred sheep and !milts, and a numerous progeny of hogs and rig, amounting in all to about one hundred and fifty. The stock was in excellent condition. Since the decease of the Rev. Gen tleman, the horses and pig. have been fed nu boiled wheat, the refuse of the long-lioarsiad grain with which the Parsonage was gilled; and every Rosin:oar, since the death of its owner, bas en joyed a cutniplete exemption from all sorts of labour. The prin cipal object of attraction at the sale, was the celebrated gray horse, which formed the pride and gratification of the latter years of ,Ir. Wsterhoute's existence. This beautiful animal the Bev. Gentle man intended to exhil.it for a week at the Horse Bazaar, and then present it to his Maj-sty. The memorable speech of the Duke of York, on the Cstholic Claims, so transported Mr. Waterhouse, that in the ecstacy of the moment he exclaimed, The Duke shall have my beautiful creature," the appellation by which be generally designated his favourite horse. This highly-ptized animal was sold to day for f 162 10s. It was purchased by a respectable farmer of the county for a Mr. French, a Mercantile Gentleman of Lon don. A five-ycat old mare, of the same breed, was sold for forty five guineas. A young horse, three years old, fetched twenty i guineas. The best hogs brought about 81. 6d. per score. Every article of use amongst farmers brought remarkably high prices. It' seemed as if our agriculturists, having made a sacrifice to attend the sale, on account of the harvest, were individually determined to purchase something hr memory of the singular Rectory of Stukeley, and of the distinguished. Slade continues perfectly resigned to his approaching fate. • The duty on Oats iose in a st.•gle day last week from 4d. to 4c. the former being the duty on Thursday and the latter on Friday. The increased duty made of course an augmentation in the receipts of the Customs on the latter day, which amounted in the whole to 51,0001.—a larger produce than fits ever before been known on a single day. We have heard that some mer chants importing Oats from the Baltic escaped tile pay ment of the higher dirty by their cargoes being I ended at Shields, whereas, if the vessels had proceeded to London (their regular destination), they would have arrived a'ter the higher duty came into operation.— Live , pool Advertiser. The young man who fell over the cragg at St. An- thony's Well on Sunday morning last, died on Monday. in the Royal Infirmary. Edinburgh. Between seven and eight o'clock yesterday mottling,' a scene of considerable confusion took place in the' Battle-bridge road, in consequence of the appearance of a large sheep dog exhibiting madness. A party of blacksmiths, employed near the corner of Maiden-lane, awaited its approach, and dispatched it with their ham mers. In its progress two little boys are said to have been severely bitten, and one of the blacksmiths has received a slight laceration in the left leg from the teeth of the animal. Two cats were also killed by the furious animal, and others bitten, which were imme• diately afterwards destroyed. The follow in; melancholy occurrence took place at Bury, a few days ago. Mr. JOSEPH MASON, ti Over fields, perceiving that his house was infested ssi h lass, hsta laiJ poison under a chest of drawers, in cne of the chambers. The poison was arsenic, mixed with oatmeal. In the course of the day, Mr. M 160 N 'S children went to play in this chamber, and dis covering the poisonous mixture on the floor, which they took for pure meal, they gathered up, and ate as much of it as they could. They were violently attacked with sickness, and though the unhappy parents procured prompt medical assistance, they had the pain of seeing two of their little innocents expue before the following morning. 'There were two boys of the ages of three and four years; another child was for some time considered to be in danger, but is now thought likely to tut vive. A shrieking accident occurred nit Thursday se'nnight, between nine and ten o'clrck, at Barrowfield dye-works. A labourer of the name cf M•Kay was superintending a close boiler in the cleating department, when, owing to something going wrong with it, by which the steam did not get vent, it forced up the cover of the boiler, which was shivered to pi e ces, and thrown about with great force, and struck M'Kty on the head, and he was also dreadfully scalded. The explosion was heard at some distance. The unfortunate man was able to crawl to the door for assistance, and was Mt ieJ home in great suffering. His body was rubbed with oil, and was then rolled in cotton, when, by some unfortunate accident, a cand e i❑ the h :nds of one of the attendants set fire to the tom n, and the unhappy sufferer was in an instant enveloped in Ba•res, and groaning in excruciating ,gony. Every effort was of course made to sabdue this unlooked for accident, but the scalding and burning were so sew, re, that he died on Friday morning.— (devour Chronicle. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. • • MAIDSTONE, Acirrest 23. Jekn Parkhurst was convicted of an avtault and high yoa t robbery on the person of limes Glazier, on the 12th .11 May last, accompanied with circumstances of great violence. The Learned Judge passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, coninring him to lose no time in making his peace with an offended GOB, AS no mercy could be ex teneed towa , ds him in thoi world. Geo. Eggldols, Edsvaid Garnett, John Whitehead, and Joseph Copeley, were indicted for assault and Lighway rubbery, upon the person of Mr. Ja mes Flint, on theBth of April last, at Dartford. The prison-!rs, all lads, were labourers, living at Dart. ford. The prosecutor, Mr. Flint, was a paper manufac turer, residing at B•rmingham. On the Bth of April, be tween twelve and one in the night, the pro,ecutor, who had been dining with his frien,f, Mr. Nicholl , , in the vicinity of Dartford, and where he hid drunk more than I his usual quantity of wine, was returning some wh it eleea•ed, to the Black Boy inn, at Dartford, where he intended to stop, when he perceived the prisoner Whitehead standing at the door. Perceiving, also, a female passing by, on the other side of the road, he re. quested Whitehead to go alter her, and to request her to favour him with her company fora weir. Whitehead h tying pei formed this commission, Mr_ Flint and the Lady proceeded together down a turning, called Cock• lane, and were there deeply engaged in conversant n,. when tour lads came r unsling up to them, and in a lied tone demanies: some 4. socket money." The Lady im niesliately vas away ; and • the prosecutor considering the thing as a joke, was moving after her, when Eg ' gleton seizing him by the coiar, tore his shirt, and de. dared "th it they would have som- money." At that moment Garnett also came up, and snatching at the prosecutor's watch chain, dragged his watch out of his lob, with a violence which broke a gold chain by which it was secured, and ran off. Eggleton and the other two prisoners were then standing close by,and the former was holding the prosecutor by the collar, and brandish log what he represented to be a constable's staff, at the same time declaring that he was a constable. The whole party then made off; and on the following day the four prisoners were. in consequence of the descrip rine given of them by the prosecutor, apprehended.— Eggleton, after being secured, raid, they never intended to steal the watch, and took the officer to a spot where he said the watch was concealed, and there it was found accordingly. The other prisoners made no particular statement, but simply asserted their innocence. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case to the Jury, commenting in pretty severe terms upon the disgraceful situation in which the prosecutor had appeared before nem, and suggested the possibility of his senses having been so far impaired by drink on the occasion in ques• Lion, as to render his remembrance of the persons who had robbed him very defective. The evidence with respect to the two prisoners Whitehead and Copeley appeared to him too slight to warrant their conviction; but with respect to the other prisoners, the Jury would say whether they had beers guilty of the capital part of the charge, or of stealing the watch only. The Jury found Eggleton and GAT nett guilty of the stealing only, and acquitted the other prisoners.— Eggleton was sentenced to eight, and Garnett to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour. HEREFORD, AUGUST 22. CILOWN SIDI.- - -Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN. James Frost and Joseph Herriott were indicted for having rescued Richard Hall from the cost dy of the constable conveying him to prisoo; and Richard Hall was indicted for aiding and abet - ing in the said rescue. John Taylor, the constable, said, that as a special constable, he was sworn in to convey the prison :r Hall to prison on the Ist of August last. When they got near the Sally's public-house, Hall begged to be allowed to go in and take some refreshmerit. The witness at first declined, but as the prisoner was very importu- ! nate, he at last consented. When they got into the, public-house, they found several of Hell's friends there. After they had taken some refreshment, the witness said they must proceed on their journey, when Hall swore he would go no farther, and rushed past the witness, who followed him, and caught him. The prisoners Frost and Herriott then came up, and the witness charged them to aid and assist, as they knew he was a constable. ,lint Frost and Hall having both struck him at the same time, Hall got off, and ran away a second time. The witness then followed and caught him again, but the prisoners Herriott and Frost again interfered, and set him at liberty; and on the witness attempting to follow them, they all three turned round and swore if he came after them " they would wash their hand's in his blood•" On cross examination, the witness said he had a pis tol in his hand when he caught Hill after his hest escape, but it was not loaded ; and he told him that if he wished to go and see his wile be!ore Ice went to pri son,he would take him through Veobly,where she lived. The evidence of Taylor being corroborated by ano ther witness, the Jury found the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Baron VAGGIIAN, after commenting on the enor mity of their offence, s•ntenced the prisoner Hall to one year's imprisonment and hard lab ur in the House of Correction, and the prisoners Flo t and Herriott to six months'imprisonment and hard labour in the same place. During the present Assizes I homat Taylor was im dieted for stealing a sheep, the proderty of William Bond. The evidence was conclusis e, and on being called on for his defence, the prisoner chanted forth, in a low tone, the following verses : Thi first wan that we will pray for shall be for Great George our King, That where he has got one man that he may have ten, Let George our King pray for what he will, I will say amen. GOD bless George our 1\ ing, and send hint long to reign ; May the Heavens above protect George our King, and his men upon the main. The next that we will pray for shall be for my Lord Judge, For he is i valiant man, and a valiant man is he ; May the Heavens above protect my Lord Judge, if he will set me free. So now 1 pray you, my Lord, to grant to me one favour, For you to set me at liberty, and I will praise you for eves. So now to conclude, and finish up my story, May the Ileaskns above protect my Lord Judge, When he is in the heighth of his glory. Mr. Baron Vauotints having summed up the evi dence, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. 'lnc Leained JUDGE then ad& essed the prisoner, that notwithstanding the device he I ad chosen to adopt by way of defence, ample justice would be done bins; but as it did not appear he was an old rff:nder, mercy would be extended to him, but sentence of death must be recorded. The trial of all lie prisoners concluded here ]ester• day between two and three o'clock. WARWICK, Atha. 23.—Before Dir. Justice HUI ROTP.

Upon the tes iimoi. y of Mr Birch, the surgeon who attends War wick gaol, and who described the prisoner as being in sane ever since his commitment, — the Jury return d a verdict to that effect; and tle prisoner was ordered to be taken care of until his Majesty's pleasure respecting his fu•ure dispo al shoul I be known. Thomas Goodwin was indicted for assaulting Jane Lee ors the 28.11 of Juiy last, in the parish of Aston, and forcibly ;aid feloniously taking from her - persoa two sixpence , . The prosecutrix stated th t she was a mirried VIOMA3 At about hilt past seven o'clock on the evening of the above day, as she was geving over a stile, when passing through a farm, the priimier accosted her !Torn the other side, saying, " Ah, now I have you." The prnsecutrix asked rim what he wanted, and he replied, ei 1 must have a kiss." S.re told him he should not, and gave him a smack in the face; upon which he took hold of her, and she told him to have done. He persistud ire wtempting to assault lier until she drew a sixpence from her pocket, and gave it tck w hirn to let her alone. At this time she was in fear for her life, as he was pulling her clothes up, and held an open knife to ' her breast. As he still seemed disposed to persist in his purpose, she gave him' another sixpence to permit her to go away, which she was at length, and after much abuse, allowed to de. She afterwards met a girl, whom she asked it there were any men near who would take up a man that had ill•used her ? Having found the owner of the farm, the latter went back with her, and they discJvered the prisoner lying on his face in the ditch near the stile. He was sleeping, but did not appear drunk. This part of her testimony was corm boratA by that of the farmer. The prisoner plead' d drunkenness, and alleged that he had no recollection of any of the circumstances stated by the prosecistrix. The Learned donna told the Jury, that if the prose eutrix had parted with the money under an apprehen sion of danger to her life, ar of vi 4 ttion of her pets- n, that was sufficient to constitute a ,wt.Dery on the part of the prisoner. The Jury immedi arty returned a verdict of Guiky. The prisoner was also indicted for assaulting the pro secutrix, with intent to violate her pees in; but he was not tried on this ind ctment. This prisoner, Thomas Goodwin ; John Hemhaw, convicted of a rape upon Caroline Smith, at Birming ham; Thomas Hudson, convicted of stabbing Thomas Stych ; and James Smith, and Benjamin 8.1.140rth. convicted of stealing 120/ from the person of Jrmes Lloyd, were then placed at the bar to rec,-ive judgment. The Learned Juooa addressed them severally on the heinousness of Owir respective Mimes. He told Hen shaw, that were it not for the strhng recommsivation of the Jury, in consequence of some discrepancies in the evidence for the, prosecution, the seatenee of the law would have been suffered to take its cool st in his case, as it would also in the case of Hudson, had he been convicted on the count charging an intent to murder. Goodwin had stopped short cif the completion of an offence, for which, had he perpetrated it. he cer tainly would h4ve paid the penalty of his life ; and Budwoith and Smith had not been guilty of violence. although they. had committed a serious robbery. Under all the circumstances of these cases, his L•'rdship would recommend to his Majesty that their lives be spared; but they must expect to leave this country (or the test of 'heir Joseph rPilliamson, and 13 other defendants, pleaded Guilty to an indictment for a riot at tl e la.t election for Coventry, and entered into their own recoguizances to ket•p the peace for two years.
