He said the prisoner, Siipliiii Connor, stood charged, that she, on the 29th September, in the 37th year of she King, did marry tie late Earl Annesley, though Martin Connor, her former has band, to her knowledge, was then, and still is, alive. ; -a-He said, that in his progress he would do every 1 thing within the limits of his duty ; that the prisoner had a right to have it presumed that she was intro , cent ; and that he would be amongst those who would rejoice if she established that innocence. Mr. *Nally proceeded to say, that the present was not a case without precedent ; a lady of even higher rank had been tried for a similar offence—he meant the Duchess of Kingston ; and that though upon the pre sent occasion he stood alone, he yet had the example of Lord Thurlow, who conducted the prosecution against the Duchess of Kingston, and that example he would endeavour humbly to imitate. The offence charged in the indictment was bigamy, the marrying ' a second husband while the first *as alive. An of fence more dangerous to society or morality could not be found. By a former law in this country, this crime was punished with death ; but by the 12th of . Geo. I. the capital part of the punishment was re. 1 pealed, and transportation was sublituted. In the Cl course of the trial, if any doubt could remain of the ne 'guilt of the prisorer, Mr. M'Nally called trpon the IS, Jury to give the prisoner the benefit of it. He wish st, ed to act candidly and mercifully ; he would not stop - . to advert to minor circumstances ; he had no incli et.' v nation to aggravate. On the contrary, he would He endeavour to reconcile the feelings of his heart with ind sx the duties of his profession. He then proceeded to ' state the circumstances of the case, as they were toll mistak be provedby evidence.

The following communication has been received. from a late American paper On Thursday the sthltily, 1810, Dr. James Niblock, a- native of Ix*. land, but for six or seven years last past an inhabi tant of Brunswick county, Virginia, was shot. and in stantly expired. The next day an inquest was held over the body ; the Jury found that be came to his death by two ballets and a buck shot being fired into . the left side or breast, from a gun or pistol, by some person to them unknown : one of the balls' split his nipple; from the posture in which he was found, it appeared he instantly fell dead, the moment he received the shot. He had obtained great celebrity and practice as a physician—has a father now living in Ireland, but no relation in Brunswick that is known of. A few days after. a Mr. Benjamin Edmiiiids was taken up upon suspicion of having committed the murder, but on his examination betore three Justices of the Peace for the county, there was no evidence that would authorize a commitment, and he was dis charged." Tueiday last. a dreadful flash of lightning burst into the house of Thomas Wallis, between Tralw and Dingle, which killed a woman on the spot, and burned two children, one aged four, and the other ttvo years, in a very severe manner. Wallis had the side of his face and one of his legs dreadfully burned. Mr. Smith, a baker, of Chandos-street, having had his premises robbed of a considerable quantity of lead, obtained a warrant to search two rag shops in Chandos and Vine-street ; and two officers belonging to Bow-street Office, went to execute it. They could not find any that Mr. Smith could identify, but they found a quantity of lead, of various descriptions, in each shop, under the counters, concealed and covered over with rags, &c. in consequence of which the par ties were brought before the Sitting Magistrate, and convicted in the penalty of 40s. under a particular Act of Parliament, for having lead in their shops con cealed. The same act of Parliament also prohibits shops of the above description from having iron, cop per, brass, and solder; concealed in their shops. The workmen employed to repair the church of 4t. Mary, Aldermanbury, discovered, a few days since, the remains of the notorious Chancellor Jeffries, so universally, detested for his cruelty and injustice. A large stone was removed near the communion table, and in a vault underneath . the men found a leaden coffin, containing the body. The coffin did not ap pear to have suffered much decay. It was closed, and a plate remained on it, inscribed with the name of Chancellor Jeffries. His son and daughter are also buried in the same vault. It appears, on enquiry, that the body remained a considerable time in the Tower, before it was interred in this church. At the period of the Revolution in 1668, to avoiathepopular fury excited by his infamous conduct, he disguised himself in the h.ibit of a foreign sailor, with intention to escape to Hamburgh ; but being dircorerod as he was looking out of a lvindow in a house at Wapping, where he had concealed himself, he was sei z ed by the mob, and almost killed. He was finally lodged in the Tower by the populace, in order that he might be brought to justice ; but he died soon after, in conse quence of the blows and bruites he had received. He bad previously resided in Aldermanbury, and his body was privately interred by his family. The discovery of his coffin in the manner described drew many - sons to the church ; and Jeffries, so long cone cne ser to infamy, is again the topic of conversation. It doss not appear that the coffin was opened.' After public cu- . riosity had been gratified, it was replaced in the Saabs and the stone is oow fastened over it.
