It canto on for bearing before Lord ritinilly„ ants a Jury, in the shove Court , nanny, whe ther " a youth hound to any particular trade could he made to perform menial offices, wholly uncounected with that Wade." 'fhe case excited much interest, particularly on the part of the Masters. The plaintiff is a saddler, in the parish of Inverary, and the defendant was humid to him for the pur pose of learning the art and mystery of his trade. In the Indenture, a clause, particularly bound him to teach the said apprentice "the business of a saddler." The parties having di►agreed, separated, and the plaintiff applied to the Court et Sessions, and a " charge of horning" issued for the amount of the penalty, on the ground that the defendant had wilfully and negligently deserted the plaintiff's service. The charge elf horning was, however, on the applicatiou of the defendant suspended, he asserting that the cause of the dereadatit'S, leaving was on account of his (the defendant) refusing to per form certain menial offices, wholly untonnected with his Melees a saddler, and also that he had repeatedly offered to return if he slionlil nut be employed in any other capacity than that relative to hit trade. After bearing the allegations on both sides, the Court of Sessions referred the case to the Jury Court, to try, first, whether the defendant had left, as was alleged, his situation wilfully and negligently, or not or whether it was solely on account of his being directed to perform menial offices, wholly unconnected with the tattle of a saddler? and, secondly, whether or not the defendant had repeatedly offered to return to his duty, but had heels refused to lie taken back by his master? The evidence laid before the Jury was decidedly in favour of the defendant; while on the other band, the allege• tions of the plaintiff, the the defendant was in the habit of getting liltoxie.ted, and neglecting his b l isioess, were w h o lly unsupported by evidence. The Jury, after an able address from the Judge, who, in slicing terms, animadverted on the conduct of those masters who take youths apprentice, and instead of trashing tlemi their biviitiess, set them to the per formance of menial offices wholly nuemineeted with it, found for the defendant, without 4 moment's hesitation, on both Counts, with coats.

It was also mentioaed that lie hod con tensplateri the performauee of the looriihle act fur nearly a fortnight. He is about five feet seven or eight inches high, and very far from well-looking. He did out manifest the slightest agitation during his examination ; a n d stated, that though he knew his situation to be very awful, he was per_ tectly conscious, and satisfied with what had happened. He was committed to Tothill-fields prison, till an inquest should be held on the body, and on Tuesday was again brought tip before the sitting Magi•tra , e, Mr. White. The evidence, as girt u before the Cut oiler, corroborating the facts, us above stated, being read, and the prisouer not having any thing to offer in his defence, lie was fully committed to take his trial attbe next Old Bailey Session. FLEET PittanN.—On Saturday, the lath inst. at five o'clock in the afternoon, this prison Was the scene of a moat atrocious and deliberate act or murder. J. Leerwood, a tailor, int prisoned for debt, had found in the skittle ground a letter which hail been dropped by ;seedier prisoner of the name of John Dealy, an Irishman, which contained souse very un pleasant disclosures respecting that person : be handed the letter to Lewis, the keeper of the cliendler's shop, in order to be given to the owner. Dealy, feeling incensed at Leer wood for not delivering the letter into his own hands,, went to the shipboard where lie was working, seized a sleeve-board. and struck Leerwood a blow on the temple, which felled him to the ground, and continued beating him in the most furious mattuer, till interrupted by the other'prisoners. The unfur• timate victim of his rage was taken up in the most pitiable condition, and immediately carried to Ate hospital, where, notwithstanding every surgical aid, r a t pireil on Monday w ining. at eight o'clock. Leerwood it seven children, and only three weeks ago buried his wife. He bore the cha racter ofa very hewed, quiet, and industrious mall. Ott Tuesday evening au inquest was held on the body, at the Fleet Prison, before T. Shelton, Esq. when Charles John stone, a prisoner in the Fleet, being swosn, mid, on Saturday, about ten minutes before five, he was standing 6 feet from the window, opposite to it : saw the deceased fall from the shop hoard, (deceased was a tailor.) Witness saw him working a few minutes before. Stepping up to the window, saw a man, named Dealy, beating deceased with a sleeve hoard. deceased being upon thegrotind. Witness opened the window, and wit nessing the violence; called out fur assistance, and said to Dealy. " In the name of God, don't you kill the man;" upon this Dealy seized the deceased and turned him upon his belly, anti seizing his thigh, said," I)—n your eyes, you rascal," and struck him three or tour times upon the breech with his sleeve-board : lie then threw down the sleeve-board, and sprung through the window, and swore he had not given him half a threshing. Dealey returned to the deceased's room. Seeing Graver, a lusty man, witness asked hint to go into the tom Graves went in, and witnesssaw no more ut it. Wit ness believes Dealy was sober at the time ; would have en tered the room, but thought i: dangeions so to do. Witness SAW blood 'upon the head of the deceased before Dealy turned him on Isis belly. William Graves, a prisoner in the Fleet, saw Dealy stand ing outside the window, near the room of the deceased, and heard hint say he had struck the decased three times on the breech, and swearing, said he would not tbrget it in a hurry ; had he not been an old man he would have beat him worse, but being an old man lie did not like to strike him. Witness heard Dealy arty, that deceased had behaved very ill, by not giving a letter he had found, to him, instead of giving it to Lewis, who keeps the cLoudler's shop. After this, Dealy, in a pennon, jumped into the loom of the de ceased, and abused hint respecting the letter. Deceased was then standing against the fire-place. Witness said, " For God's rake don't let tag have any murder dune.' !testy did eot strike hint at that time. Witness weld into the rouin to prevent any mist:Wel', Deady had charged deceased with having given tau letters to Lewis, but witness knew to the contrary, as it regarded one. Deceased denied having found any letter belonging to Dealy, Hof hull lie given any to Lewis. As winless was leas iiig the room, Dealy said, " lie lied not done with hits, yet." Then winless and Dealy left the room together. Several other witnesses were examiurd, whose evidence collaborated the above testimony. Some medical gentlemen, why examined the hotly of the deceased, found coagoilated blood between the p:a mole , aatl Jura putter, Mill also blond in the ventricles of the brain. This, who. appeared to be the effect of exit:Mal injury, they considered to be the ratite of his death. Alter a few' minutes constiltaf , the Jury retaliated a verdict of Wiltbl Murder against Jolie Dealy. The Coroner made out the warrant of eunuuihnt ut ; it it, however, understood, that Dealy will remain tie the all nag room its the Fleet until the commence ment or the Old Bailey Session : he will then be removed by Habeas Corpus to Nettgate, to take his trial.

GLILSOOW ClRClAT.—Matthew Clydesdale, a cojiier, was tried at the Court of Justiciary, at Glasgow, fur the murder of Andrew Live, in the parish of New MonklaaJ, in the comity of Lanark. hrum the evidence adduced in support of the charge, it appeared that the prisoner had for some time borne malice of the strongest nature against the deceased, who was eighty years of age, and a man of the most peacefni and industrious habits. One Sunday morning they chanced to meet near a coal-pit in the neighbourhood, when the pri soner attacked the deceased with a piC14.11314414Ch as ere used in collieries, alit gave himsome dreadful wounds on different parts of the head and b , hly, under which he languished till the Thursday following,:iit.l then died. The son of the deceased was the principal witness ; but the whole of the evidence was so conclusive, that the Jury, without a moment's hesita tion foiled hin► guilty. ATTEMPTED Munntat.—Mr. Barnes, who kept a respecta ble Academy in tioxttni S(111111e, lied removed from Ids house to another in the neighbourhood : his servant-maid, who had lived in the family many yehis, was seat on Monday night to secure the shutters of the uninhabited house; UM' as she entered two men, who coneeelsd themselves in the premises, and who seized her, and after using tier extremely ill, forced her up to the garret door and tied a cord round her neck, which they fastened to the door, and then went down stairs, leaving her in that situation. A baker living next door, hear. ing a great noise, suspected that there were thieve. is the house, and lie and Mr. Barnes went in, with a view to catch the robbers ; they proceeded up stairs and found the maid hanging in the manner above described. They cut down in a very exhausted state. A medical gentleman was scut for, who succeeded in restoring her, when she gave the :Move account of the horrid transaction. Immediate search was made after the ruffians, but without effect. Mr. Hett, has made some observations on the rot in sheep, which are applicable to all sheep farmers on wet and unsound lands. He gives the very jnd!cious and soitul advice to the proprietors of sheep, not to delude themselves and add to their losses by a recourse to quackery, anti attempts to render that sound which is already rotten (a positive end obvioso absurdity), but rattier to insure soundness by preventing rotten ness.—This wholesome and unity remedy, prebentinpAnsislaced been long and often recommended, and had it been us punctu ally observed, the rot in the sheep would be a rare occurrence. He counsels rather to kill the affected sheep, and instead of laying out money in whimsical and useless nostrums, to expend it in the purchase of fresh and sound stock. :lis objet tiou to nil medicine in the case, is undoubtedly valid, as tar as it goes ; namsly, that filo medicine received into the tositach 'oast take the course of food, and go through the medium of the circulation, before it u,•411 reach the liver ; cud grantiog n medicine were a ditlillist cred, entficiently powet rot 10 de stroy the flukes in the liver, its action would be powerful enough to destroy the sheep also. A farmer represented to him that he haul laid out 201. in a pretended remedy, from which his sheep reeeis etl nut the slightest benefit ; and in some very catensiv e flocks, the writer of this has heard of tin ekpest. dititre of several acme pounds in the same 'Wien:Gus way.
