Mr. Hill, Atte' a very short conversation, proceeded to cu ll his w itnes se s, to disprove Hernial' White's story. Mrs. SllllOlOlOl, a lady residing in St. Nlartin's Church yard, being called and sworn, stated, she hail known the female who hail lived in her house fur about three weeks; bite, on cunning in, represented lieuelf as a married wo man. Several gentlemen had called oil her, and she piloted out a Mail, who appeared about thirty years of age, as her husband. She stud lie would protect her, and punish those w Ito lidtilited her.

Site bad seen him at her house as late as nine o'clut Is, and has heard Win call when she was in bed. The first night Hannah White came to her house, Jarvis came and claimed her as his wile; they certainly had the appeal duce then of roan and wile. Site (witness) never knew ot ally man remaining chit the plisusier all night. J.irsis hail, at one tune, entered witness's lied rouito, and out seeing the woos. said, " %Veil, !Oise 114u 'alt." 'l' lie witness then coining forward, he begged her pardon, excusing lomat-II by saying that he thought lie was iii Mrs. Jarvib's 11'00111. 1% ditess then lit-hided the 111111e$ and uraeriptiotta of several gentlemen who hail called on Hannah While elide she lodged in Witness's house. Minitel' White was then called and le-examined. She said it was her brothels that had called on her; she did not know any person named Jarvis; all that the other witness had staled was liaise. tier brother lives with her lather at Lesson-grove.

Another lung discussion, must immaterial, followed. 31r. Griflitha then said, this case was easily determined on ; the matter rested entirely upon the young woman's credit, amid Thal must he shaken to make any alteration in hia decision ; if it it was as she stated, a cue for the levying of the orders was made out ; the mystery of her nut going in her own Denbo Was clearly made out ; she did not wish her situation to be made known, and from one or two circumstances during the in•esti r,ation, her testimony might be shaken ; as to the fact of her being milled on by the name of " Alias Hannah," that did nut look like her being married, and from all the circumstances he stiuuldcomiider that by sending this case to the sessions, the Justice of it would be wet in every shape. 'There due credit would he given to his testimony, and the case would be di,. posed of. Under all these circumstances, be certainly was fur making the orders. 31r. Rawlidson was of the same opinion. The case at the sessions would be disposed of by competent authurity, that of a loy;ber tribunal. 31r. Parka's was willing to abide by the decision of the mazistrates. be parochial ollicer then put in his bill of charges for the eapeocea incurred, and said that the highest claim for weekly showance was as. but the parish would take the saw of 4a. per week. 31r.

Lenney. Betting two two one on Teasdale; and weights about equal. THE BATTLE. it lasted one hoar and fifty minutes, and after the first Uwe. rounds it was all hard lighting. These rounds occupied more than a planer of an hour in manueuvring, breaking ground, &c. to endeavour to get at each other, and no blood was spilt, or a hit of any consequence placed, until, at the end of the third round, Teesdale placed a hit upon the tip of his adversary's " smeller," from which " claret" New in abundance, and in a trial of strength both went down ; bat Lenoey gained the fall.

G. 7, and N. l'enAide stood engnarded, stroking his breast down, and evidently distressed for wind. Lamey bad orate some excellent parries of his adversary's left hand, but he had the worst of the rounds, and was kept constantly bleeding with left-handed nabbing," but his confidence remained uo,.haken. Teesdale led until the I lilt round, Looney being too abort to get at him, but here he chewed some rare genie qualifications, and had the best of the round, and threw his adversary.

Lenney was hit to a stand, and his head was one contused mass. lie, however, fought on, and fought some of the rounds succeufully until the -12 d, when he was floored with • rum right banded Is,,rger, and was deaf to time.

MeLANcslioLY AccloeNr.--On Tuesday, the 231 ulna, about eight o'clock no the morning, as Mr. Joseph Bateman was procuetiotg in a gig iowi,r,:s Nwurbridge, his horse, which was a apirlleil atlllll.ll , and unaccus tomed to harness, took fright heady opposite Bellevue house, at au attempt made by Mr. Bateman to raise his ititibieila, and galloped furiously dilisu the steep hill leading 1010 Halts thril. Mr. B. being much alarmed, dropped the reins, by which the speed of tie horse was fearhilly increased; and seeing a Carl approachl from the bottom of the hill, dreading a COlielisa.oii, he leaped from the gig about Yv yards I..elore they met. 'like wan driving the cart laid hold of the shaft horse, and endea voured to get mu ul the way, but tic lure horse turned spurt round at the moment the g g was Massing, and received title of the gig shahs in his body, near the hip, which almost i iiii nediately l.aded him.

Mr. Bateman was taken up by UMW perawis woo wituriesed the accident, and carried to a collage war al hand. Medical assistance was speedily piocured, when it was found that hits lent leg was 50 oddly traciured in two plates, that amputation above the knee was ouliged to be resorted to; tie also received a severe COIIIIISIU/I oil the back ill his head—we arc, however, happy to say that lie is recovering; the di iver also is hopriollig. Tile cart and horses belonged to Mr. Ittillord,o: Siumb.idge, and the animal killed was a very valuable one. Mr. IL:telltales horse, as might be yapected, sushi,:lyd consi derable injury. - . • 2L7 TOMS, JULY 4.—.41/enspi to Friday la st a policestiata named Plonket, was brought in here from 13allindattgaii, by a party of police, soul lodged in the Breulewell, Irum whetter he was tratitiMited to Galway on Saturday morning, in company with the prisoners cons icted at our sessions. He is charged with having conspiru it to take away the life of Mr. Tobias Burke, jut'. of Alusicfield, im the county of Mayo, by attempting to have a poison administered to him. The circumstances attending this extraordinary and wicked detign have beets related to us in many shapes ; but without Wedititig om it-Ives entirely for its atithetiticity, we give the following, which we deem hest emitted to erei.i. :—lt appears that Mr. Burke had not been many months married: that prior to his happy taitioti, his wile, who was a young widow, and a native of Clarcinorris, had formed an ac quaintance with the prisoner, who is a handsome young iellow of eigtreen, when a mutual attachment ensued, and an attempt at an elopement was the result; snit the watchfulness of her friends unfortunately frustrated the attempt. Snort ly a ter this, Mr. Burke paid his addres ses to her, and succeeded in gaining her affections. and an elopement, which led to the happy union, was the consequence. It •t be here oliserted that the young widow was entitled to SOUI on her coming of age, and has not yet become entitled to its 1003Sebb14/11. Since her marriage with Mr. Burke. who resides within a short distance of Ballusdatigaii (where the prisoner was sta tiunrd) she cutitrived to pay llaquent %kits to that vil lage, which at len t oli excited the stispicirms of her hus band, and led li:m to the resolution of confinisrg her to the house until such time as Plintket should be removed front that place. Thus debarred from persor inter views, a correspondence commenced, and wit kept tip until a few tats ago, when Mr. Burke obs•rved some paper in his set vain 111Jites hand, and on asking whet it - was, she sand, " Netisnit," and atteinpted to destroy it, when lie seized hers an./ Meet, the paper bolo tier, which poised to be a sealed letter, without signature, auldnesse3 to Mis Burke, hating two small papers of arsenic en closed, with proper instructions how they should be administered to Mr. Burke. Under these CIrCIIIIISLInces Mr. Burke took the necessary legal steps, which led to the apprehensant of the prisoner. A circumstance which strongly attaches guilt ho the wile is, that after Mr. Bunke had quitted the house to have Runk , ' ar rested, both site and the main had absconded, and were found concealed in a shrubbery, several miles frinwthe house. We are further itilortned, that on searching her box, several letters, without Slalla ore, and in the same handwriting. were found therein. .Mr. Burke is a clever handsome young fellow.
