Mr. Hear shortly renewed motion, agreeabli td the suggestion .f the Court at the last hearing, fur putting the heir at law in this lung contested case in possession. Mr. Wirruznatt. cfpposed the motion, chiefly on the ground that node* of a motion for a new trial had been given on account of a misdirection of the Judge who tried the last bane ' in his exposition of the law of mar riage as it exlitedprevions to the celebrated blarrisge Act brought in by Lord Hardwicke in 1754. . Mr. SUADwaii, Mr. Hoaxe, and lie. Pests followed on the same side. - The Lour. CUANCRLLOR said, that when the motion was made to him the other day, be bad thought that as there was now a verdict given for each piyrty, he might have bees allowed to consider the case, as if one verdict had nullified the other. Further consideration had con vinced him Hint that opinion was untenable. The case originally arose in proceedings in lunacy. The neat verdict had been set aside, upon a positive knowledge impacted to the Court of the proceedings on the trial. The Court had: tno Information of a proper kind as to the last trial. 1 re impossible for the Court, with such knowledge as it now possessed, to determine that the verdict on the first issue was confounded by the verdict on the second issue. From all these circum stances, which were circumstances arising in the pro ceedings in equity, and not io the proceedings in lunacy, be felt that he could not grant toe motion in the pre sent instance, for putting the heir at law in possession, and that the motion for the new trial must, in any case, be first argued; and he appointed the second day of sit tings after the coining vacation for that purpose. • innkeeper shall neglect to deliver a parcel within six. hours after the arrival of the coach; he should forfeit SOs. and Sunday was not excepted. Here then were two conflicting Acts of Parliament. The first Aet ren dering the carrier liable to a penalty offis. if he followed his worldly calling on the Lord's day; and the last ren dered him liable to a penalty of 20e. if he did not pnrs.te it under the circumstance of the arrival of parcels late on the Saturday night. He might, by disobeying the latter Acr d render himself liable to heavy penalties; and. Independently of the obligation of the last Statute, the contents of the parcels might he of such a nature as to render the immediate delivery a matter of, necessity. Theymight to:lWe fowls for the Sonday's4rnner, and articles tiro would net keep. Coder these circum stances' notwithstanding that the charge was pressed, by the Rev. Prosecutor, the worthy Alderman dismissed the cam declaring, that* conviction under the old Act could cot take place. QUlSS;SQUAge.—Yetterday. ins Briton Dyson. Suspected of the murder of glixa Anthony, was brought up for re-examination. The only witness examined was Frances Nopkins. who deposed that she had resided a short time with Mrs. Bell, who lodged at Mrs. Doyle's, in .I..rmye 'street ; Friday night the retired to bed together, about 11 o'clock, and tn two • in the teal ng she dal awoke br the ring: Mrs ing of the be 1 ; . Bel went down stairs, let the pr.,- sonerin. and came up stairs with him into the roots where w witness was in bed, when she overheard the pri soner say something about a young woman being drowned, but could trot precisely reco:lect his words: She supposed that the prisoner was married to Mrs. Bell, from the circemitance of her having a child, and being, much together; on being iuterrogated by the Magis trate, why she did not make some alarm and inquiry af ter what she had heard, site replied that she did not like to make a disturbance for fear of getting into trouble ; nothing further could be elicited front this witness.

CARRICKFERGUS, THURSDAY, JULY 34.—One of the most imp. :taint, (indeed the only important public trial which took place this Assizes,) occurred this day. A person of the name of Hamill appeared on the part of the Crown, to prosecute three young men of the names of. • Ried, Busby. and for a riot and tiagatilt committed by them on the 13th instant. at six o'clock i• the even ing. It appeared that a large body of men, commonly denominated Orangeman, walked on' the evening of, Sunday the 13th root. from Belfast down the Shore, and passing by the Barracks they insulted a soldier of the regiment quartered at present in the barrack.—Hamill,. who saw the insult, ran to the barrack for assistance, and after Obtaining the guard and rescuing the soldier, re turned to the streets. The party, defeated in their at tempts on the soldier, attacked Hami4 and wounded him with a knife in the side. It , appeared that this was . another Orange precession, and that the soldier and Hamill were particularly marked out by the party. It aras sworn, however, in defence of the traversers, that the soldier was intoxicated, and that he interrupted the procotsion, and provoked the insults be received. The ! hey, after an impartial hearing. found the three prison- Guilty. The Judge, we have been informed, pro 'ounced an admirable judgment. We regret extremely we were not present, .because we would wish to the Baron's worth); they could not be improved. He has 'sentenced those three tee rioters and assaulters to twelve months imprisonment, and to find bail after that period to keep the peace. This is a great example, and one which, we trust, will not be forgotten either by the Green or the Orange rioters.—( The Irishman.) ' INSURRECTION ALT. SPECIAL SESSIONS, COUNTY OP KILKENNY. On Saturday, pursuant to adjournment, a Special Ses sions (and a very special one it was) was held at this City, under the Insurrection Act. Not a single Magis trate attended from any of what, we suppose, we mast, in courtesy, call the ' disturbed districts. Indeed, the whole county of Kilkenny yielded only three Justices on this momentous occasion, and these three who reside nearest to the city, two of thetas in fact on the very confines of its liberties.

They, however, had nothing to det.— The anti-Jury and anti-Constitutional Insurrection Act, has been now in force amongst us since the Spring of 1t•'.12, and it has only succeeded in transporting a boy in whose widowed mother's cabin about an ounce of lead was found bye man who is no longer a M igistrate, and against whom no insinuation even as to evil disposition was made. As the people of the county of Kilkenny, are so obstinately peaceful, and obedient to tire law, why, in the name of God, were they over, or are they still, burdened and oppressed by an odious statute which was enacted to suppress insurrection. We trust those who can answer the question will seriously consider it, and as they leave put the country to so enormous, de grading and unnecessary an expense, that they will take the trouble to meet once more and memorial the Lord • Lieutenant to restore a peaceful people to that portion of the Constitution which the Legislature, in its great wis dom, has deemed Ireland worthy to enjoy in times of trenquillity.—(Leinster Journal) _ laformation having reached the Earl of Wicklow soma days since, that several persons were nightly employed in administering the Ribbonman's oath to the Peasantry, in the neighbourhood of Arkiow, his Lordship, and Mr. Humphries, adopted such measures as enabled thereto secure two of the Ringleaders. The circumstances which led to their apprehension are detailed as follow by our Correspondent at Arklow :—" Lord Wicklow re ceived information that a man named Skinner was swear ing itrmen at Arklow, his Lordship, Mr. Lees, and Mr. Humphries, Contrived to get such legal evidence, as to authorise them to issue warrants to arrest the parties: Three warrants were issued, and given to different par ties, one of whom was directed to lie in wait for the Mail Coach, while changing horses at Rathnew, and search for Skinner, who, fortunately, was timid in it; and who, after a desperate resistance, wai secured and, lodged in gaol, untlCr the warrant of Mr. Lees. Kenny .was arrested in Arkiow, and committed by the Earl of Wicklow. These two men were Captain and Secretary of the Arklow knot, and their apprehension has caused several to fly the country.

Thomas Charles Fitzhugh Sandon was in licted for obtaining by false pretences a Bill of Exchange fur £3O, and divers sums of money from Edward Tutland. Mr. Thesiger stated the case for the prosecution. Edward Putland stated that he was a timber and coal merchant at Croydon precious to the year 1522. On the 25th of April lest year, he surrendered to the King's Bench Prison at the suit of a creditor ; he there became acquainted with the defendant, who was also a prisoner, and expressed great commiseration for the witness's situation. On the 1.74 th June, the defendant inquired of witness the amount of the debts he was detained fur, and being told Mt. he said it was a trifling sum, and he could easily get it settled for him ; he thought he could obtain his discharge for about 301. by means of a very worthy friend lie had, named Green. On the 19th of the same month, the defendant came to wit ness's room and told him he had seen Mr. Gryen, and had no doubt every thing would be settled in a fortnight, and produced a bill of exchange which he had drawn on witness at tno months for £3O, which witness accepted. On the 25th of the month, the defendant called on nituest, and said Mr. Green had obtained his discharge. In the course of a few days afterwards the defendant obtained of witness, with reference to the supposed discharge, 151. in cash; on the Ilth.of July 141. more, the defend ant then promising that witness should certainly be dis charged the next day ; and about the 2 itn of July, after assigning various excuses for the delay, the defendant further obtained from witness 171. 9s then giving him thistrongest assurances that the whole of his business shostld be comfortably settled. Mr. COWLEY, for the defendant, cross-examined the etitmoki batilsere was no variation in his evidence. Witnesses were examined to prove the deceptions prac tised by the defendant upon the prosecutor. John Moore, the defendant's tailor, proved that he received the 301. bill, on which be had arrested Mr. Put land, from the defendant, soon after the date of the ac ceptance. The case for the prosecution closed here. Mr. COWLEY addressed the Jury for the defendant i and called two witnesses to character. The CHAIRMAN recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who without any hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said it had often been his painful duty to preside at trials for frauds committed by per sons wit bout education and in the lowest situations of life, and sometimes, but happily less frequently, at trials for frauds committed by persons whose advantages and. situations in society should havepreserved them from such depravity, but of all the frauds he had ever beard proved in a Court of Justice, that of which the defendant stood convicted on the clearest evidence was the most atroci ous, and he (the Chairman) would conceive that be discharged his duty to his country if he did not punish it to the utmost exteflt. He then sentenced the defendant to—Transportation for Seven Years. POLICE. M A smos-Honse.—Yesterday John Wray was charg ed with having defrauded a number of respectable trades men, by representing that be was a clerk in. the employ ment of hankers, on whose account he borrowed certain sums of money. Mr. Johnson, a coal merchant, stated, that on the 20th of November. between five and six. in the evening, the prisuher came to his house, said he was a clerk in the house of Uorrien and Co., and that be was just settling an account in the neighbourhood, bat was unfortunately one pound short; as it would be too late for banking hours, the loan of that small sum until the morrow would be considered a great favour. Mr. Johnston observed that the prisoner was an utter stranger to him. " Oh, you must know me," observed Wray, " for 1 have been often here to give orders for coals for the louse." Mr. Johnston's objections were settled at once by this reply, and the money was lent, but never returned. pn inquiry at Dorrien's he was informed that the prisoner had long been dismissed from the service .•f that firm. A Clerk of Messrs. Porticos proved that the prisoner bad left their service upwards of three years. A person in the house of Messrs. Baylis, in St. Paul's Chnrch•yard, stated, that the prisoner had called there, and requested the loan of 31. for the house of Sir Peter Pole and Co., as he came into the neighbourhood to pay off an account, and happened to he short of thulium. There was twine liesitalon in acceding to the• application, hut the prisoner mentioned so many names of persons in the firm of Sir Peter Pole and Co.. and spewed himself to be so well acgnainted.witb•thevn as to remove all suspicion, and the intsu-y was lent to him. It was fottud that he bad no connection with Sir P. Pole's hrsse. The prisoner was committed f or trial upon these two charges, but was told that bail would be taken. A carrier belonging to one of the inns was summoned, at vie instance of the Rector of St. Dunstan's, the Rev. Mr. Hesketh, on a chirp, under—the Act of Charles, for having exercised his worldly calling on the Lord's day. The defendant had, if appeared, delivered a parcel, on Subday morning, and had rattled by th.• church w hil s t the Rector was in the middle of his sermon. Alderman Cox, on referring to the Act of the 59th of 'Geo. 111. found it is there cnactD.l, that if any carrieror • The prisoners stated, that the boy was the son of rear cottage's at Spelbrook.in Hertfordshire, and that it' was by their consent he came to London. lie is sixteen years of age, and they said he had been seen by Sir Slither Cooper, and Sir Everard flame, and was considered by them to be an extraordinary plienemeuon. Mr. flee' m. ordered the bay to be brought before—Him The boy was Immediately bronght forward. dressed in a plaid cloak. On being asked, - he said that it was lals • own wish that he was shown to the pel lie. (The einak was then removed, when his arms appeared, each of tlhem terminating in a perfect finger, which seemed capable of ' being used for various purposes with facility.) Mr, BIM LI, disapproved of the prisoners going, about to obtain money by this exhibition. The boy was cer tainly an unfortunate youth, but there was nothinz in his deformity so striking as to be likely to induce persons to give much Money to see him, nor was there any thing unfit or indecent in the exposure. He should, therefore, discharge the prisoners; but he recommended that they should cease the exhibition, and send the boy to his parents down In the country. The prisoners (one of whom, it appeared, was the boy's brother), said, they would act according to thin Magistrate's recommendation, and they left the office in company with the boy. POLTGAIM—A Scoundrel, of the name of Matthews, who has for the last year been employed as journeyman at a respectable house of business in Bath, havirg con• tracted an intiu3acewith a young woman, a servant of irreproachable character, whom he understood to possess a little money, and whose parents are small, but respect able farmers, living in the neighbourhood; he paid such frequent addresses to her as 'educed her to believe that be intended to take her for better or fir o:te for life; indeed,. he soon began himself' to express a great desire to marry her, and by the assumption of the man ner and habits of an industrious honest man, Le gained the girl's affections and her friends' consent to the anion. This obtained, they came to this city, and were both regularly joined 'together agreeably to the rited'of the church; All appeared to the satisfaction of this bride ; fortune seemed to smile on her in favoukng her with a husband apparently possessed of every qualiiica ! don to render her happy.

Matthews, being by trade an ironmonger, neat to Mr. Nott, of this city, to select some articles to stocde his intended shop with ; and, after having concluded his purchases and partaken of the hospitality of the nor. thy tradesman, who thought he could do no less than pruvide his new customer and spouse with a good din ner, he ordered that the articles lie had selected may re main till sent for, when the money should likewise lie e mitted. All this appeared so very tradesman-:ike and fair, that Mr. Nett mat'e no sort ofobjection to his taking away a few knives and forks to the value of about 5!. which he said, be immediately wanted. The newly-m trried couple then returned to Bath. to their lodgings in Green street, where they lived together in connubial bliss about four days !—Matthews, it appears, wantell nothing hut the young woman's money, and having lived with her so longs time, he thought be might then put the question to her with good grace ; his plea was, that previous to opening his shop, it would be oecessary for him to go to Birmingham to make farther purchases,—thus lie easily prevailed on her to give him up a great portion of the cash which she had accumulated by her induitry ; he then immediately left her, and bits not since item heard of. The young. woman, having waited with ex treme patience for his return, or some account of him till such time she had reason to believe all was not right, applied to the persons with. whom he had previo :sly loJged, who informed her that lie had left Bath en ir..1:,., and was gone home to his wife and family in I i mting barn.
