This Wils a question of no small importance. as it respected All,toers and Apprentices. It calm on fur heal ing before L o rd Pit hilly, 400 a Jut)', in the above Court, slam ly, whe ther " a youth hound to arty particular trade could be made to perform menial offices, wholly unconnected with that trade." The case excited much interest, particularly on the pwt tof the Masters. The plaintiff is a saddler, in the parish of Invcrary, and the defendant was bound to him fat the put. pose of learning the art and mystery of his trade. In the Indenture, a clause, particularly bound him to teach the said apprentice " the hnsiuess of a saddler•." The parties having disagreed, separated, and the plaintiff applied to the Court of 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 of horning was, however, on the application of the defendant suspended, he asserting that the cause of the defendant's, ►eavin was on acconnt °lbis (the defendant) refusing to per form certain menial offices, wholly unconnected with his trade as a saddler, and also that he had repeatedly offered to return if lie slunild not lie employed in any other capacity than that relative to his trade. After hearing the allegations on both side■, the Court of Sessions referred the ease 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, a holly unconnected with the wade of a saddler? and, secondly, whether or not the defendant had repeatedly offered to retnrn to his duty, but had been refused to be taken bark by Ilk seasrer? The evidence Lid before the Jury was deeideilly in favour of the defendant; while on lire other hand, the allega• Copts of the plaintiff, the the defendant was in the habit of getting intoxicated, and neglecting' his business, were wholly unsupported by evidence. The Juiry, after au able address from the Judge, who, in strong terms, animadverted on the condect e►l those masters who take youilis apprentice, and instead M . teaching them their business, set them to the per. romance of menial (Arun wholly unconnected with it, found for the defendant, vvitliont a moment's hesitation, on both counts, with costs. On Sunday the Ith ii. Cant. a young couple attended at the parish chorea of Leeds, for the purpose of being married.— The ceremony had already commenced, when the intended bridegroom, after atiparently deliberating fora moment or two, exclaimed, " I think not Itit'e thee, Wier all!" and immediately left the church. The situation of the lair one, thus deserted, may be readily cons rived.

LAUNCHING OF imp: TALAVT:RA.—This very fine ship, of tyfl gitos, was launched ou Thursday at the Dock-ianl, ‘Voolwich. Crowds of most respectable spectators surrounded die dock as early as one o'clock. The river opposite was covered with boats. The vessel herself seemed crowded on deck, and in all the interior apart ments. l'reeis sly at two o'clock the Honourable Miss Townsend (daughter of Viscount Sydney) was conducted to the prow of the ship, and a bottle of Madeira. suspended by a small cord from the upper part of the variel, was pin into her hand. Slic flang the bugle against the tit's, and called the ship Talavera. The imiats on the river had in the mean time been ordered to clear a passage for the launch, and the mechanical supports being now removed, the 'Ta lavera moved off iu the inest style. The rapidity had increased so Much by the time she was all fairly in water, that her motion was exceedingly grand. The mutual cheers of the crowds on hoard and on shore at CG: same time, increased the effect. The Laud of the Royal all the seLile kept playing Ruh. Britannia. NATIONAL REGISTER.

The prisoner pm his right heed to the right side of his waistcoat for a minute, and wllllOlll speekina, made a violent plunge at les wife's stomach with his baud. Sire staggered hock and extiatmed. Oh, my Gem 1, 1 ant inurdeo ell ; will any body take the knife out of tic ?'' She then fell, and repeated the 541114 , woltls. The prisoner stood e Mr his hands down, and Said he lbtl• out going to run Away, and that may 111411 1111011 lake hint that liked.— She was couveyed to St. Gem: Ws Hospital, where she ex• pi red on Saturday morning. ‘Vltile being eon ve)ed to the Office, he stated that he overheard a conversation in the Coach and Horses, between his wife and anent with whom he suspected she hail indulged in acts 411' ennellbillilge. In the course of this emivellation she said she would get up and return, and continue with him ( the person wit It whom she held the converaation) all night ; and that he, the prisoner, having a knowledge of her infidelity, was determined to thwart them ; and hence lie had resolved on the commission of this barliaroue decd. It was also mentioned that lie had con tern plated die performance of the horrible act for nearly a fortnight. He is about five feet seven or eight inches high, and very far from well-looking. lie did nut manifest the slightest agitation during his rea iii ill ation ; and stated, that though lie knew his situation to be very awful, he was per_ fectly conscious, and satisfied with what had happened. He Was committed to Tuthill-fields prison, till an inquest shortie' be held on the body, and on Tuesday was again brought up before the silting Magistrate, Mr. White, The evidence, as given before the Coroner, corroborating the facts, as above stated, being read, and the prisoner not havirig any thing .0 offer in his defence, he was fully committed to take his trial at the next Old Bailey Session. FLEST Peisna.—On Saturday, the 13th inst. at five o'clock in the afternoon, this prison was the scene of A most atrocious and deliberate act or murder. .11..Leerwoort, a tailor, bit. prison* d for debt, had fumed in the skittle ground a letter vr bleb had been dropped byenother primmer of the name of John De dy, an Jr ialinten, ;which contained some very un pleasant disclosures respecting that person ; he handed the letter to Lewis, the keeper of the chaudler's shop, he order to be given to the owner. Dealy, teelitee incensed at Leer wood for not deliveriug the letter into Ina 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 gromol, and continued beating him in the most furious manlier, till interrupted by the. other prisoners. The tinfor• emulate victim of his rage was taken np in the most pitiable conditirm, and immediately carried to the hospital, a here, notwitlistaridine every surgical aid, he entitled on Allonday morning at eight Weluck. Leerweud has lett seven children, dud only three weeks ago fouled his wife. lie bore the cha racter era very honest, quiet, and industrious mail. On Tuesday eveniug an inquest was held on the body, at the Fleet Prisou, before T. Shelton, Esq. when Charles John stone, a pi isurier iii the Fleet, being sworn, said, on Saturday, about tee minutes before five, lie was standing th feet flout the window, opposite to it : saw the deceased fall from the shop board, (deceased was a tailor.) Witness saw him working a few initiates before. Stepping up to the window', saw a man, named Dealy, beating deceased with a stets e•board. deceased being upon thegiountl. Witneas opened the wiudow, and wit nestiiiig the violence, called out for aasittaece, arid said to Dealy, " In the name of God, don't you kill rite wan ;" upon this Dealy seized the deceased and tura( d him upon his belly, and seizing his thigh, said,'• D —ir our eyes, you rascal," and struck iiiin three or four times upon the breech with his sleeve.boarif : he them threw down the sleeve-board, and spree?, through the window, and swore he had not given hint half a threshing. Dealey returned to the deceased's room. Seeing Greece, a lusty man, witness asked him to au into the • room : Graves went to, and witness saw no more of it. Wit ness believes Dealy was sober at the time would have en tered the room, but drought i; Jaeger ous JO to do. Witness saw blood iiipon the bead of the deceased before Dealy turned him eta his belly. William Graves. a prisoner in the Fleet, saw Dealy stand ing outside time wiudow, near the 111001 of time deceased, and heard hen say he had struck the deeased dace times on the breech, and swearing, said lie would not forget it in a Imlay ; had he not been an old man he world have beat hint worse, but being an old MD he did not like to stn ike him. Witness heard Dealy city, that deceased had behaved eel V ill, by not giving a letter he had fooial, to him, instead of givirre it to Lewis, whit, keeps the charidlers shop. After this, Dealy, in a passion, jumped into the loom of the de" ceaseit, and abused him respecting the letter. Deceased Was 4 then standing against the fire-place. Willies, said, " For God's sake Ilona hit its Wye any row der clone.' Dealy did rot strike II IN at that finis. Witte,, went into the room to prevent any misehief. Dealy had (-nailed deceased with having given taut letters to Lea is, but winless knew to the vomitory, as it regarded one. Deceased denied having found any letter belonging to Deady, nor had he given any to Lets us. As witness was leaving the room, Deatv said, "he had not done with him yet." Then si antes and Dealy left the room together. Several other witnesses were examined, whose evidence em /obviated the above teatin 1111 l y. Some gentlemen, who examined the body of the deceased, coagulated blood betwee a the pia mater and dare touter, and also Wood in the ventricles of the brain. This, which appeared to he the effect of external injury, they considered to be the cause of his death. After a few minutes consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Dealy. The Coloner made oat the warrant of commitment ; it is, however, Nod rrblooti, that Deal) , will remain it, the atrial t own in the Fleet until the evilleteliee. melt of the 01J Morley Session; he will then be removed by Habeas Corpus to N wgate, to take iris truth.

So ne time tack, he di °plied a letter, es holt eNpused a transaction not very ere datable to the parties concerned—and lie was, consequently, looked upon with some degree of suspicion by his fellow pii aouers. W iihout rcteience, however, to his gei.eral conduct, an exposition of which might pi etsidico the public mind against him, we shall confine our observations to the point in question.

We forbear further comment —as, the transaction itself is so horrible, that, if we were to enter into further particulars respecting the objert in view as detailed in the foreeibiiiq letter—we might raise suspicions not easily to be quelled.

GLUGOW Matthew Clydesdale, a collier, was tried at the Court of Justiciary. at Glasgow, for the murder of Andrew Love, in the parish of New Monklaa.l, in the comity of Lanark. From the evidence adduced in support of the charge, it appeared that the pri,oner had for some time borne malice of the strongest nature against the deceased, who was eighty years of age, and a Milli of the most peaceful and industrious habits. (hie Sunday morning they chanced to meet near a coal-pit in the Heiglibmirhood, when the 'pri soner attacked the deceased with a pick-axe, such as are used in collieries, and gave him some dreadful wounds on different parts of the head and holy, under which lie languished till the Thursday following, and then died. The son of the deceased was the principal witness ; but the whole of the evidence was so conclusive, th it the Airy, without a moment's hesita tion found him guilty. ATT estPTED Min sea.—Mr. Barnes, -Alia ;;ept a respecta ble Academy in Hoxtuu squat e, had riouJvc•si from his lion,• to another in the neighbourhood ; his -cr vant4naid, who hud lived in the family many years, was sent on Monday night to secure the shutters of the uninhabited house; saw us the entered two men, who concealed themselves iu the premis es , and who seized her, and after using her extremely ill, forme' 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 deer, hear. ing a great noise, Fn.pirrted that there were thieves in the house, and he and Mr. Barnes went in, s‘ith a view to catrls the robbers ; they proceeded up stairs and found tl.e maid hanging in the manner above described. They eat her down in a very exhansted state. A medical gentlernanswas sent fro, who succeeded in restoring her, when she gave the above account of the horrid transaction. Immediate search WAS made after the ruffians, but without effect. Mr. Heft, has made some observations on the rot in sheep, which are applicable to all sheep farmers on wet and unman tid lands. He gives the very jndleious and solid advice to the proprietors of sheep, not to delude thetuselves and add to their leases by a recourse to gnackcry, and attempts to render that sound which is already rotten (a positive and obvious absurdity), but rat'aer to insure soundness by pr..i.tisir rotten ness.—This wholesome and only remedy, pr.•o. shot , has indeed been long and often recommended, and had it been as panclo ally observed, the rot in the sheep would be a t are occurrence. He conesele rather to kill the affected slicels, anti instead of laying out money in whimsical and useless nostrums, to expend it in the purchase of fresh and sound stock. His übjeetiou to all medicine in the case, is a tition btedly valid, as 'far as it goer. ; namely, that the medicine received into the stomach limit take the course of food, and go through the medium of the circolatiou, before it can reach the liver ; and granting n medieitir were administered, sufficiently powet lid to de • stroy the flukes in the liver, its actiun would be powerful enough to destroy the sheep also. A farmer represented to hint that he had laid out 201. in a pretended remedy, from which his sheep received tint the slightest benefit ; stud in scone very extensive hocks, the writer of this has heard of an expens diture of several score pounds in the same ritliculens way. Mr. H. reminds the farmer of the necessity of draining his land, as the first step of prevention of the rot, another ancient and wise ...linnet. As to the genealegy of Hoke* ill the liver, and their external descent from this or that Lind of fly, en r. rect or otherwise, it is a trifling crewcut ; or whether dukes are the cause or effect of the rot ; or whether sheep eat this or that kind of grass; since cat. whatever grass tiny may, when exposed to a eolith) al 1 • lity of the atinespheie, upon nnsontid land, they will susely become rotten. r' A daring attack was made out 'nimbly night, at the early hour of ten o'clock, by a gale; of thieves. upon the Hee.
