The Apathy and the gloom which pervaded both Mottles of Parliament, sufficiently bespoke the failtue of any attemyt • that. had been made at ac co:nowt:tattoo. and the fears of the extremity to which the difference might lead. But if any doubt rtnia;un.l upon the subjeft, it was FM moved by eh? speech of Viscount Howics, in the 13 to of Commons, s;g,.ifying his intention Dart to move the second reading of the Bill, which hah produc-cl this aifficulty, to-morrow ; and pro misitng 'to avail himself of the earliest opportunity, caallifent with propriety, to explain the whole of his puLlic condnet: :Phis is little short of ao a final contessinh that he has absolutely resigned, or deohniitied to adopt that course. The feeling out of Jeers was in unison with that which prevailed ita v kinth H.nis-s of Parliament. The Funds fell, yesterday, Nis far cent. sad they will fall lower ti.is day.

The Earl of Mote*, probably entertained 1. more eclarged view, and had chi. threatened &aeons of Ministry particularly in contemplation, when he said. on Tuesday night, at the celebration of the festival Uf.the Titular Saint of Ireland. that the blackest cloud that ever hung over this country, was then gatheiing.

NOME CIRCUIT. HORUHAIt, mom', MARCH 17• • in consequence of the non-attendance of the epe cial Jurymen, no Special Jury cause was tried. 'illy consequence was, that they stood over tia the next Assizes. and the Civil Court rose immediately, hav ing no other business. CROWN SIDE. Jaaei Vaughan Eve4l, a genteel young man, aged 24, was indiaed for maliciously pointing a pis tol, headed with ball, at Vigor Ainadee Raymond, and pulling the trigger, with intent to murder him. Mr.Cou at Hoare stated,that this was a case of me lancholy atrocity on the fart of the prisoner, who was the son.in-law of the prosecutor, against whom he snapped the pistol, with intent to murder him. The prosecutor. Alr.Raymond, bad many years kept a school of great respeaebility ar Lewes, in this county, and the Defendant came into his family in January 1805, as an usher. Whilelie was there, he paid his addresses to the prosecutor's daughter, but without die knowledge of the prosecutor. They at length eloped t..gether, and were married. The young woman, however,lieed with him but a short time, for, from the ill-treatment of the prisoner, she was obliged again to seek the shelter of her father's house; she was aaually living wah him at the time of the present erensaaion, which occurred on the 2lst of November last. Oa that day the prisoner came to Lewes, and wished to have an interview with his wile, but access to the house seas denied him. He immediately wrote a note to Mr. Cripps, tiie Magistrate, at Lewes, complaining ti:at he mulo not see his wife and child, and begging that Gentleman's interference to procure an law view. Although that Gentleman was wholly unac quainted with him, yet he kindly undertook to do it ; and accordingly went to Mr. Raymond; who agreed to see the prisoner, but in the presence of-Mr. Cripps, as he would Bin venture alone to encounter the vio lence of his temper. Mr. Cripps accordingly accom panied the prisoner to Mr. Raymond's, and be was there shewn his wife and child. He asked his wife if she would live with him, provided he could get the means ti support here she replied. that she would, if he would not miscondud himself in the manner he had hitherto done. He then r.quested to be left alone with his wife, which being rtiused, his demeanour became so outrageous, that Mr. Cripps thought it necessary to order him to be turned out of the house. He immediately went away, but returned again abeut four o'clock, and knowing the ways of the house, he gained access to the parlour door with. out being observed, where be found Mr. Raymond, and one of his scholars. He immediately drew a pistol, and snapped it at Mr. Raymond; but most tortunately it flashed in the pan, otherwise the shot would probably have proved fatal. What melee the prisoner could assign for this conduit, he could not foresee; but, from his instraaiens, it appeared to be the most wanton and diabolical that ever he heard related. It would be for the prisoner to as sign in his defence any provocatisio, it he could, adequate to such dreadful revenge. V iaor Amadee Raymond, the prosecutor, stated the interview and coversation, as detailed by Mr. ' Courthorpe ; he added, that as he was sitting at tea in the parlour, he heard the dour open ; and suppos ing it was his assistant, he sad, " walk in," without lilting his eyes Irom a letter which lie was reading. But hearing a voice exclaim, " Now, God d—n you !" he looked up and saw the prisoner, who pulled a pistol from under his coat and snapped it at him. The pistol flashed in the pan ; he attempted to wrest it from the prisoner, but the latter being the strongest, prevented him ; and closing the pan, he snapped it at him a second time. The house being alarmed, the prisoner retreated. 'Moines Whiteman, the constable, stated, that he apprehended the prisoner at the end of Mr. Ray mond's garden-wall. When lie first taw the pri soner ant offered to lay hold of him, he prewnted the pistol at the witness ; afterwards he snapped it at his own head. The prisoner, in his defence, urged that he was driven to desperation by the prosecutor having :sl imed the affeaions of but wile from him, and said, that he meauc to have shot himself in the presence of de ivil h r i sehdue When t oh e e. be scut a Verdi s sentenced, (m G l t ii h n i e g . i prayed for r e u mercy, Skeen a o d ot hers also received judgment of death, but aunt of th eir cases were interestii:g. The Assizes concluded. THURFO, MAUR 7. About 400 of our Volunteers, whys woe.. 0.. 1 , 7 , 4 on board eight smacks, in conseg.tence ot the ez, press from the Lientenantcy of Kirkwall, have been detained by coatrary winds and heave seas, this morning, about three n'clock, when they sailed with a westerly wind. and full of martial ardour., It is hoped tx.ey will give a good account of the Dutchmen, w h,,, it appears, bare saved from the wreck a number of small arms, the frigate having a great quantity on board. They have taken pos. tissAn ot the out-houses and every thing they could find. A Major in Vie Line. happening to be here wit;, a recruiting party, nEexed to take the command ot the Volunteers, but wai s.cfused. He was much displeased, and imrnedicely left the place with his small party, in order, it is supposed, that he might raise a few hands elsewhere, and be before-hand with the Volunteers in making pt none's% o f t h e Dixtchtnen. Extra& of a letter from Kirkwall, dared March I :—" On Tuesday last, during a tremendous gale of wind from the N.K. accompanied by snot's., a Dutch frigate of 42 guns, with 420 men, 205 •)f which ate said to be soldiers, was wrecked upon lre. in Saadi' ; the who* of the people were saved ; but 30 have since died from the severity of the weather. This information was, last night, corriumnicated Dodor Toughgreaves ; since which, she most ac. tire measures have been taken by the C.iittlemen of Orkney, to secure the enemy. Six smacks sald this morning for Scrabster Roads and Caithness, to bring a detachment of volunteers over; and very fortunately Captain Richan arrived this day, wit the Nos./WI aimed ship, from Leith Roads.— About 400 in Kirkwall have taken arms, and se. venal boats armed have also this day gone for Sands. There is, however, nn great fear to be apprehended from the Dutchmen, who have been ver y Thy are st ithout arms. and scattered through the island ; a boat is said to be seen coming over with a number of the prisoners."
