. LIMERICK COUNTY COURT.—Mien S. —aim-- Henry Shannessy, a Quack Doctor, was put to the bar, charged with an assault and an attempt to commit a rape on the body of Margaret Regan ihe younger, on the 24th Of October last, to which charge he p'eaded Nut Guilty. Margaret Regan the elder. sworn—Recognizes pri sorer, and has known him about 3ialf a year, bat he never was in her house till the night of the 2-4th of Oc tober last; witness is a willow—her husband died in Oc t:her last and left tier with ten children ; it was in the rusk of the evening when prisoner came to her house;, he is, she understands, in the habit of suing about the i asountry, pretending to cure disorders ; her daughter, Marg!ri t, who is upward' of ten . years of ace, had been I very wk. which when prisoner came into the house she informed him of; he took hold of the girl's hand and said she was very ill, and also felt her head, and said she vas a little cracked or light in the bead, occasioned by fever, and that he had a charm, which, by repeating car t ein words in the girl's ear, would cure her of her com plaint. He then said that he must be alone with the child while be repeated the words, the witness consented that they should both go into the adjoining room, which . was dark, hot the door of which was only half-shut; aridness wondered why they staid so long, hut was un willing to go into the room, thinking that prisoner was praying over the child ; she, however, at length lighted a candle, and on going into the room, saw them both ex poled in so shocking a manner, that she lost the power of speech for a few moments and fell backwards, and re tired in a state of almost in•rensihility. The remainder of saitneas'.l . testilitony is too gross to admit in to our co lumn!, his t it is enough to say. that she fully proved an assault of the must aggravating nature against the prisoner. Margaret Regan the youngeronvorn.—Knows the na ture of an lath, and has learned from her ratechisin the consequi nee of swearing falsely ; identified the prisoner as being the person who came to her mother's house on the night of the 24th of October last ; she was sitting ea ben he came in, and he felt her bands and head, and - said she was cracked, but that he would cure her by some charm, hut that they must be alone; be then took her hand, and led her into the adjoining room, when there he charged her to keep secret every thing he should ' do to her, not even to tell her mother, else the charm would have no effect. He then desire d her to put out her tongue, and he took it into his month, which be kept so tight in his teeth that she could neither shriek out, nor get away from him. Witness, in the most feel ing manner, detailed the out committed by the pi tici sone; which confines) her to her , . I some time. Thomas Regan, sworn.—ls brother to last witness, and recollects prisoner being at his mother's hope on the 24th oft Ictober last; lie assisted his brother in tak ing prisoner, and found him in a house, about one fi eld distant, in a dark room, along with the servant girl. Margaret Regan, the younger, again called.--. Priso ner did nothing to her till after she put out her tongue, except saying a few words ; she could not possibly get away from him he held her so firmly. Baron PENNEFATIIER 111111111 ed up the evidence, and in a luminous manner expatiated on the nature of it. The Jury would be aware that the prisoner could not be capitally convicted, the Grand Jury conceiving that the crime hail not been fully completed. but had fonnd a billfor the assault with intent to commit a rape ; the Jury had heard the evidence adduced, and were to say whether it was worthy of belief or not; the girl had declared that force nas used to her; it slid not indeed appear .'range that .he should not cry out, but her explanation vas calculated to decrease the extraordinary nature of this circnms'auce. Ile would leave the case with them, *ithout any further remarks. Verdict—Guillp, to the approbation of a crowed Court. Baron PENNEFITIIER, poled sentence on the prisoner which was, that he be confined two years in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour, and during that time to be four times publickly whipped. Sha t inesay was apprehended and brought to justice by Major Maxwell, of Charleville... In the Stafford Criminal Court on Saturday, In the case of the Ring, on the !Toleration of William Rogers, v. JanreaStamp Sutton Cooke, the recognizance of the prasecotsir was discharged, on the ground that he had a fair and reasonable excuse for not preferring a bill, (the absence of Sir George Jerningliam who was a material witness in the ease) . No bill of indictment was, In conse quence, sent to the Jury. In the evening of the day printed notices were po sted on the gates of the Town-lall, signed " Stafford, and dated " Stafford-castle, a March, 1r0," commanding all tenants of " the barony" to pay rent only to the steward of the baron, J 41. Miles. Esq., and stating that lino Sir Oeorge Jerningham had brought frivolous as in which judgment had been inadvertently suffer "ed by default, Lord Stafford would immediately proceed seinst him for the recovery of a large sum of money re ceived wrongfully, which he hail contented to resign on the abandonment of these proceeding., and on having immediate possession of the estate, and the court-rolls of the manor. - A t the Cumberland Assizes, Mary Balmer, of Carlisle, Els charged with having, on the 24th day of November, last, by a succession of ill-treatment, caused the death o f her ern. James Hill, a child, which she bad had before her marriage, and which, Mr. Alderson, who stated the, case to the Jury, said was supported in the workhouse until it was 6 years of age, *hen It was taken house by . its mother; and although it alas her man child, yet she had conceived a strong dislike to him, and had caused his des'h by a repetition of ill-usage. Witnesses were called who deposed to the above effect, though it was ad mitted that the prisoner treated deceased in the same man ner as her ether children wiqirespect to victuals:l' be Jury f wind the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter. The Judge then whir. ssed the prisoner in nearly the followirig words :—Mary Balmer—upon the bill ofindict went which the Orono) Jury of this county found against you. for the murdet of an infant child--and that infant c hild your own — you h ave been acquitted Jury who have this day trierlyou, and they have found you guilty of manslaughter only; and this they have done af ter a long and patient investigation, and which patience was fully evinced by the attention and pains taken by each. indisitlual. it is necessary •for the safety and pro tection of infant children, that a crime such as your's should be visited with such putrishnient as might be the means of deterring others,who will loathe deterred by the feelings of humanity, or paternal affection, from ill-trer ing.their own c hiblren.or those of other people's entrusted to their care. During the proceedings in this trial, I have observed that yo'i have been much distressed; in fact, that you appear to be lunch so now: I therefore shall add but little to augment that distress, but proceed to dis charge that duty which the laws of my country call upon me to do.— I have li . tle doubt hut the remembrance of theee prcedings *ill operate upon yoe during. the re- mainder o of e a for life, as a source of iniaery, unless you inwardly feel that contrition which you outwardly ex press ; at there can be no doubt but sincere repentance will produce tranquillity of mind. You have been some time imprisoned; and, although it appears by the evi dence of the surgeon, that the wounds on the fowl were bat occasioned by the broomstick, on the day in' hich it is mentioned you were ill-treating your child, y, from all the evideree, it appears that you had been the cause of th e child's death: therefore, .I shall proceed to pass welt a sentence upon yon as will operate upon others as a caution. The sentence of the Court, therefore is that vo[Thisn be imprisonedler the spice of 12 months. trial lastearfrom nine oclock in th till forty aninates past too in the ' noon .]afte e morning, THE ST STATE OF CRIME THE METROPOLIS IN THE YEAR 1822.

IlARILIelli4b ,TF,'SIVI AN in the Vice-Chancellor's Court yesterday, the curious case of Sergisson v. Sergisson came on for further di• rections. On a former occasion the Court directed an action to try whether the child who claimed the property at stake, in this cause, was illegitimate or not. The re salt of the action was, the child was found to be illegi timate. The Master was then directed to find out the next of kin to the late testator. The Master's report was yesterday brought up, alleging that Anne Sergissoa was the nearest surviving . relative of the testator.—The Vice- Chancellor directed 12,0(10!. to he paid to Mrs. Anne Ser gisson, and 7,01 AV. of the Assets to be paid into Court fur legal proceedings and contingencies. C uRREN TS OF TIM 0CF.104 —(From a Cornish Paper.)—A bottle was picked up at Fistal-bay. near New Quay. on the Northern coast of this count y, on the 4th instant, which con tained the following notice:— " This bottle now thrown overboard by me Samuel Po Owen, of Waterford, master of the brig Maria, of St. John's (Newfoundland), on a voyage from Liverpool towards St. Andrew's (New Brunswick), hoping whoever may pick it up, will reort accordingly, tirn:6, place, itc. in order to ascer tain the p current, latitude, 45. 3S, longitude, 2 5.25.

N. E. three or four leagues. Who ever that may pick up the bottle with the enclosed note, please to have the same contents notified in Lloyd's List. " E. N. D. Succeps, Master." TRADE or LEITII.—" A Leith merchant" writes— " [laving observed in several newspapers a paragraph I intimating that trade has not been so brisk in Leith for these several years as it is at present, and that persons wishing employment would not fail to flub it; I think it highly improper to allow this statement to pass, which has nut in truth theleast shadow of fouutlation,considering that it may prove most prejudi cal m its effects, in drawing num bers of the labouring classes from the country to our port in quest of that employment, which owing to the stagnation of commerce, we are unable to give to our w orkm•D on the spot. As an instance of what I have addnc. d, I only request you to observe the quantity of porters and carters assembled daily at our bridges, lounging about from morning to night, scarcely earning what will barely keep themselves and families front star vation."—Leith, March 6 —(Ellin. Star.) HINT TO MILLERS AND BAUERS.—(Ity an American.) In my country there are a number of lofts attached to every mill ;so that the flour, in place of being thrust into sacks, the moment it escapes front the friction of the stones, is taken up by the machinery, and spread out to cool in the most careful manner. With you, so far as I have seen, this process is entirely omitted —at least it is never attended to in country mills— and hence the inferiority of your flour. The violent friction of the stones necessarily creates a Treat heat and steam ; and if flour is thrust into sacks in this state, you must expect a chytnical re-action, which will leave it soft, moist, and clammy. No doubt, the better the wheat, the better the flour ; but I er e you have fairly the upper hand of us. Our very best simples seldom weigh more than 57 or sfilb. the Winchester ; but in good seasons it is no uncommon thing, I am told, to meet with wheat in England tveighing 63 and 651 b. Only try the method I have hinted at, and I'll forfeit any thing you please, if you do rot experience a marked improvement in the quality of your bread. In our paper of the 20th Feb. we mentioned, from autho rity, that a-woman who had left a trunk at the Edinburgh Carrier's office, to he conveyed to Kirkcaldy, had contrived. during theabsence of his man-servant, to steal IS!. front r open drawer; that the woman's trunk had been seareofficer and ten of the stolen n otes found in it ; and that an had been despatched in pursuit of the thief. It turns out, that the carrier's servant had himself taken his master's mo ney ; and, that he might save his own character by accusing another of the crime, he resorted to the diabolical scheme of opening the innocent woman's trunk. depositing in it ten of the stolen notes, and therefore informing the Procurator- Fiscal that a theft had been committed, mud tluit he suspected the woman. The Procurator -Fiscal is engaged this day in a precognition against the carrier's servant, who has been im prisoned; and it witl he fur his Majesty's Advocate, to dis cover what tec'tnical titlebolongs to a crime of so complicated 1 a nature and sp deep a dye:7o44*e Advertiser.) POLICE. Matritorr Hons.—Yesterday! rang , man of respect able appearance, named Frederick Charles Deitz, a na give of Germany, was brought before Sir CHAS. now ea, who sat for the Lord Mayor, upon a warrant charging him with having aided and assisted an Insolvent Debtor in concealing some property from his creditors. The pri soner was ordered to find bail. UNion•HaLL.—Yesterday, Edward Malan, a young man about 20 years of age, was brought before It. J. CHAMBEHS, Esq. charged with violating Mary Venner, a girl under ten years of age.—The Prisoner was folly committed for trial. DISTURIUNG A RELISIOL'S CONGREGATION.--John Basham, a pauper in' Bermondsey workhouse, stood charged with creating a disturbance at the Ebenezer Chapel, Long-lane, Bermondsey, and annoying the con gregation during the Ape of Divine Worship on Sunday evening. The prison was ordered to find bail to an swer to an indictment at the ensuing & WOW. GREYHOUND MATCII.—A greyhound match for 20 gui neas, was run on Tuesday, in Copmanthorpe fields, between Mr. Cropper's dog, Young Rhenliam, and. Mr. Creaser's young dug. which was won by the latter.—The odds before running was 0 to 4 in favour of Rhenham, but he was hest in grand style, and was so much distressed, as to be obliged to lay down during the race. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE tatter. Mr. Abel Andrews, a dealer, undertook yesterday to ride one horse the above distance in 211 tours. The horse, or rather a stout galloway, under fifteen hands, and aged, looked a very un likely one to win, anti time was backed at six to four. The start took place from Pep p er-row, Essex, over a five miles piece of ground, at one o clock yesterday morning. Mr. An drews ri.:infr something more than eleven stone. The horse did the first five miles in thirty-five minutes, and fifteen in one hour and forty-five minutes, and was baited. Mr. An drews started again at a quarter past three o'clock. and did another fifteen miles at half-past five, when he halted an hour. At half-past six he travelled at the rate of about six and half miles an hour. and did twenty other miles before nine o'clock, making Silty miles in a few minutes less than nine hours. He hailed again, and did the next twelve and a half miles, half the distance, by a quarter past eleven, hating one hour and three quarters time on hand. At this time oar information left the man and horse fresh and well, and in good feeding condition. STEEPLE CHASE.—On Friday. a steeple chase, over an eiclit mile circuitous course from Ilampstead-heath to Clay hill, was rode by Lord Ctaumorris and Captain Standon of the 3d Guards. The country chosen was extremely close, and the race well contested ; on approaching the goal, Lord Clanmorris took a decided lead, and came first in ; but having omitted to touch the post as agreed on, the um pires decided in favour of Captain Standon. A sporting dinner being part of the bit, his Lordship entertained at Stevens's, that evening, several officers of the 3d Guards, 1301 Hussars, and, Life Guards, Sir Godfrey Webster, Captain O'Grady. M.P., (to. dc. last week, a full sized penguin was shot at St. Nees, in C u rnwall.—This bird is probably of the species deito minated hawk, which is found in the northern regions, and has real wings and quills, though small, and not the penguin of the southern hemisphere, which has mere tins only, in place of wings. The hawk has only three tors on each foot, whilst the penguin has four. But to which description soccer it may belong, it is surprising that a creature which cannot Ay, and which lives chiefly in the water, should proceed full 16 miles from the sea, to the place at which it was found. Nuts (when they become dry and theiternel shrivel led) inay,bY pouring boiling water on them , and let tin g them remain in it li hours, he made fresh, and the ker nel fall andfirm as when first gathered. List week, an ewe belonging to Mr. Lawry, of Nellie , gan, in the parish of St. Mello, yeatted a lamb, with I two , beads, four eyes, and four ears. It lived but a short time, but before it died, it sucked with boils mouths. low grounds of the Carve of Cowrie have been so completely inundated by the thaw, as to prove to the cot tars asum mons of removal as unwelcome as unexpected. One 'our woman was forced to retreat in rather a peril ous situation ; and, before she could return, she gave birth to a fine child. As a mark of gratitude for the at tentions of the landlord, the parents conferred upon I the honour of being natnefather. In one barn-yard, a quantity of grain was much injured, in consequence of the water having risen to the height ut three feet. — (Dundee Adv.) WONDERFUL ESCAPE.—A number of men have for some time been employed in sinking a well on the estate of Samuel Hall, Esq. at slapperlev-place, near this town. On account of the great depth, sixty yards, a whimsey is used draw up the buckets, with earth, Ike. and on ednesday last, the ropes bruke and to buck ets were W precipitated to the bottom. It was supposed the two men thee ip the well must have been killtd, but it turned out, that they fortunately heard the noise of the buckets d e seendin ,, , and being aware of their da n g er, stepped aside, and by that means escaped instant death, although the width at the bottom of the well was not more than two yards! The buckets were dashed to pieces, but the oleo were not in the least hurt !—(Notting ham Review.) A few days ago, Mr. Wood, of Bond-street, in remov ing some rubbish, discovered a !At of young mice, IS in number, which lie placed in a wire trap, under the ider that•the old ones would be decoyed into it. 'l'he next morning, however, lie discovered the mangled limbs of the whole brood hanging on the wires of the trap, they having been torn to pieces by the old ours, in their at tempt to extricate their hapless progeny from their place of imprisoutuent.—(Bris Mon Herald.) • On Thursday evening * Feb. 27, about halfspast nine or ten o'clock, the harm stables, turnip shed, about 40 yards of builditg, 2 hovels, large straw stack, &e. in the occupation of Mr. Thomas C. Harker, of Mutford, near Beceles,were wilfully set on timand although tvery exer tion was made by the surrounding neighbours,they were. totally destroyed, and had not the wind providentially been favorable, two corn stacks, dwelling-house, and the remainder of the premises must have been consumed. On Wednesday se'nnight, about 7 o'clock in the even ing, a fine French partridge flew into the shop of Mr. Bianchi, optician, Bank buildings, Ipswich; it was taken alive, rind is now in the possession of the Key. L. O. Newman, of Ilainpford Lodge. CORONER'S INQUESTS.—An Inquisition was held on Saturday evening at the Boston Arms, Boston Street, Regent's Park, before T. Stirling, Esq., on the body of William Legg, Esq aged 60, who destroyed himself at kis residence, No. 20, Park Road, by cutting his throat, on Thursday morning. Verdict —Temporary mental de rangement. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Albany Arms, Albanv-road, Walworth, before Charles Jemmet, Esq., Coroner for Surrey, on the body of William Sharpe, a youth between 14 and 15 years of age, who being, on Friday night, sent out with sonic medicine, fell into the S ur rey Canal, and was drowned. —Verdict—Funnel drowned. —The Coroner, at the request of the Jury, took upon himself to write immediately to the Secretary of the Surrey Canal Comp an y , warnin g him to erect some t , protection at the side of the canal, in consequence of the ut danger to which passengers were exposed.

The averages are wheat, 48s. lid. ; barley, Mg. 2d. ; oats, 20s. 4d. Beans; 325. per quarter. TANN, MARCH 12.—We had a very good supply of wheat and barley at market on Tuesday, but the sales were dull; the former article barely supported last week's currency, and the latter is full 2s. per quarter lower. Oats continue the same ; but Peas mid Beans fetch rather more money. Nonwieu, MARCH !o.—There was a tolerable suppiy• of Scotch cattle at market on Saturday, and sold freely at last week's prices. The sheep pens were very thin, and good mutton appears to be very scarce, and upon the ad. vanes in prices. Pigs are not so plentiful. and something higher in prices. Also the horse-market was very thin, but little doing. Leicester fair commenced on Monday week with a briskness touch beyond what has been known for the last 2 or 3 years, and consequently cattle of every descrip tion experienced a rise in price. Neat cattle sold from 6d. to 641. per lb., sinking the ad ; as did sheep, of which there was only a small supply. The show of horses was very inferior. What good nags there were, however, went off readily somewhat at an advance is price. The lambing season of South-down flocks has partially commenced, with very favourable promise.—The lambs, some of which are more than a week old, and many of them twins, appear eseeedingly strong and healthy.— The greater part of the flocks on the Eastern-downs, in this county, do not begin to lamb till old Lady-day. NOTTINGHAM, MARCH 10.—At our March fair, held last Friday, there teas a large supply of cheese, which ...fetched from -B.:. to 525. Of cattle there was, we think au unusual number, which generally fetched advanced prices but many were driven away unsold. Good horses also sold well At Hailsham market, on Wednesday, there was a mnch better supply of mutton than at Lewes on the preceding day, and the prices of course nut quite so high.—Beef in price about the same as last quoted. There was some veal, but we did not hear the price of it. PERTH, MARCH I'l.—First of Luke fair. on Friday, was pretty well attended. The number of horses was consi derable ; good ones, either for the saddle or cart, were readily purchased at advanced prices ; but for inferior horses, of which there was great plenty, the demand was exceedingly limited. There was but an indifferent sup ply of rattle. Good beasts were quickly bought up at fair prices. At Truro fair, on Wednesday last, fat cattle and sheep sold briskly, at advanced prices ; the demand for store cattle and horses was not great, and the sale was cense qucntly very dull. -.1=11111.1gelL"":7151111.1.1.41.11.1.111111.111116---ar--‘ - " • ___,.. • __ _ _ . . _ _ . .._. . ___ ._.. - 5..."-------*- • - - - - ... • ~ . • THE STATESMAN ...
