[4. f . . . YORK ISSI2PS (coxttwutD) •~ - ~' T %AIL TRIAL OT 11'1111.11P SANWEL etetsree, Esq. Or SUICOATES, FOR TILL MIALDLR OF HIS SON AND teeecaere. The case was stated to the Jury by Mr. Serjeant Coceter, in the my impressive manner.- He stated the unfortunate pi Ironer to be a man of consi derehle property ; that the question for the Jury to decide was, s hether the prioner was in a state of insanity at the time he committed the fatal deed:— W he was in a state of insanity , they cou ld not find the prisoner guilty; because, though they might have no doubt of his having been the Cause of the death of his unfortunate children, [his son is elso dead, since his commitment for the murder of his daughter], yet, if there was evidence of his insa nity, their verdict must be—Not The servants of the prisoner were called as wit nesses; they proved, that upon hearing the report of pistols, they supposed that their master had shot himself; they accordingly went to his room door, and found it locked ; they then went and climbed up to the weldor:, and sa w that the prisoner had shot his children. Upon Smith, his man-servant, exclaiming, " Oh! Sir, whet have you done ?" the prisoner exclaimed, " Done!—Don't you see what I have done?" The proper measures were then taken, and the door broke open. Mr. PARKE. on behalf of the prisoner, addressed the Jury, in a strain of language and visible agita tion, which, we observed, made a COOSidt`rablC im pression upon every person xrho heard him. He said, he should produce before them two witnesses, whew charafters and eminence in their profession were so well known, that he need only mention their names, and the Jury would pay that deference to their testimony which it so deservedly merited. William Smith, butler to the prisoner, was exemiued by Mr D. Sykes, as to the commission of the fatal eel in question; and cross-examined by Mr. Parke, on the part of the prisoner. Front his Evidence it appeared, that he had known the prisoner 13 years in Lelia ; that in all that time ho had ne- • ver seen him .different front other men—Chearful, benevolent, and adive in all the duties of his station; hospitable and attentive to his friends, kind and communicative to his dependents. That after he had determined to conic to England, the witness agreed to accerupany him as butler; that he was remarkably cheerful for two iennths on board of • the ship ; but that before they reached St. Helena, he became all at once reserved and low-spirited ; that he avoided the company and all intercourse with his friends in the common room, and . kept close quarters in his own ap irtments ; tha' he never seemed to complain of any thing, but fre quently sighed. That at St Helena, during, as be supposed, a sudden it of delirium, he threw him self from the leads of the house where he Indeed ; that he refused to come home in the ship in which he had taken his passage, and a&ually sent away the children; that he attct wards took his passage home in another ship, and, till arrived in Lon don, continued in the same melancholy state of mind. After coming to Hull, he appeared something better, for a time, whilst under his uncle's roof; but that after he had pnrcha.ed a house for himself, he never gave any dire nuns either for what he should eat, where he should sleep, or even enquired how they were supplied with mo ney, or who enabled them to go on with hoti,e keeping ; that he never saw him take up a hook, or even set pen to paper, except once to answer two notes; that he usually walked about the room, or the passages of the house, during the whole time he was at home ; that at the period the aft was com mitted he appeared unusually fond of hie children. The prisoner's housekeeper and coachman corro borated the above evidence. 1:r. Wires was then c.c.:deed, who said, be re membered visiting the patient, and thought him labouring under a mental derangement, constantly occupied - by one train of thinking, which could not be eriven from his mind ' • or, at least , that he was not able to divert hint from it; and therefore he • him partially insane, liable to sudden fits • • • • • in whieh fits he night commit any ad of r. Nam. • e: e- eint,- was then interrogated. The prise , - • ; e e e e eve or six weeks at York, under his . • , e saw nothing remarkable in his case at the 7 ; !hit he appeared not so cheerful as he had formerly been, but to be evidently depressed in his spirits; that cheerful society, he then thought, might perhaps restore him. Such a state of mind ceeteinlr often terminatee in suicide, but he had never known any one in a similar eituation commit violeace nn others. The learned Jus!g,• then n.l.iressi:d the Jury, and after expatieting tieon the enormity of the crime tor ivh;eh the iniiorivr cti , •A charged, he pointed out to them how the lief steed provided in such cases as the present ;—that where a pigeon took away the Fr cf Another pereien, hut at the time of doing so was in a state of insenite. he was not guilty of blur den—he (the learned Judge) wa. satisfied, tint, from the evidence given, the Jury woad. be fully cone:Aced tt the pnsouer was in a state of insanit at the time of committing this unfortunate erime of which be stood charged, and would therefore give their Verdia eteiudingly. . The Jury then retareetl their verdict of—Non Cathy, IN arreissfib:e heave" , of ti s . fine. V _ _ _. -3 - Colonel Putt.trs has just been appointed Demur Adjutant General at Malta; an office which has been vacant nine mouth., and which it was supposed would never have been again filled up. Several other officers have been appointed to complete the staff of that islar.d, and hence it would appear there it no erpcaation of evacuat:ig it soon.

The English newspapers of the ..?.4th Oaoher, as well as private letters of a later date brought by the bnozenr, contain nothing that can in any shape be construed into a probability of hostilities breaking out between any of the powers of Europe. It is there fore to he hoped that the motives which have in duced his Majesty's Ministers to delay the restitution of this colony to the l3atavian Republic will, in the course of a few days, be fully explained. In the mean time the harmony and good understanding that prevails between the representatives and the troops of the two nations, cannot fail to be gratify ing in the highest degree to every peaceable and well-disposed colonist, knowing that 11;s very exist ence depends upon the preservation of good order and tranquillity, not only in Cape Town, but more particularly in the couLtry diitrikas.

Arrived this day the American ship 'Olive, Nicholls, from the Manillas, last from the Cape of Good llope, which she left the 18th of January last, four days after the Princess Amelia packet, which arrived yesterday ; at which time all was quiet, and the British in full possession of the Cape. By Capt. Nicholls we also learn, that five sail of Spa nish line of battle ships, and seven Spanish merchant vessels, were to sail from the Manillas for Spain, on the Ist of January last, having on board a very large quantity of specie. The Ganes sloop of war, of 18 guns, arrived here on Wednesday last, and on Thursday evening a press took place; but having very little shipping in har bour few men were picked up, The packets, viz, the King .

BREAD.—Yesterday the Master and Wardens of the Bakers' Company attended the LORD MAYOR. at the Mansion-House, to set the Assize of Bread ; when, after having examined the Meal-Weighers' Returns, his Lords'iip ordered that the price of Bread be continued the same as last week, 9d. the Quartern Loaf. Yesterday a young man was brought before the sitting Magistrates at Bow -street, charged with felo niously stealing a bullock . the property of M. Har court, of Stanmore. It appeared in evidence, that the bullock was in a drove of six others, on Monday sc'nnight, passing by Bagnigge Wells, when the pd. soner, with about 11 others, separated the bullock from the drove by force, and struck at the drover with a stick when he attempted to prevent them. A boy, who was a speetator, discovered where the bullock was, in White Conduit-fields, and likewiie the prisoner, and where he was to be found. He was fully committed for trial for stealing the bullock; and thus, what the prisoner deemed sport for him self and associates, will prove a serious frolic, as he will be tried for his life. Also a young man, of genteel appearance, who has lately praCtised various depredations at several Coffee-houses, was charged with stealing a watch from the Hungerford Coffee-house, and a silver salt cellar from the St. James's Coffee-house, both of which charges being satisfaCtorily - made out, Le was committed for trial. The late Duke of BR IDGEWATi:R was a decided enemy to matrimony, and his Grace's dislike is .confidently said to have originated in the following circumstance:—Very early in life one of his juvenile friends requested his company in the country, when he would have an opportunity of seeing a young lady whom his friend wits on the point of marrying. The lady was very handsome ; but she had less fide. lity than beauty; for, though on the eve of matri mony, she took a sudden liking to the Duke, with whom she had an amour, which did not terminate in marriage. The Duke, however, reflecting her conduci to his friend, and the easy sacrifice she had made of her honour, not only refused to marry her, but conceived such an indelible disgust against the levity of the sex, that he determined never to ac company a woman to the altar!
