The Albion, and the Quad tender, for sundry small Sarum+, on the 10th of Slav, at the imam of Mr. (foyer, Portsmouth ; and recalled at No. S 2, Arundel-street, Strand. 7 . 0 Titer r.—This is a species of petty larceny to which i we believe, all literary men of all ages, from the -dais of Homer So our own. have been more or less ad dicted. We are disposed to believe that a critical exatni nation of their works would reduce to a very limited com pass the stock of original ideas, and discover the same thoughts, making the tour of Europe with no other change than what is produced by the idiom of the different lan guages in which they arc clothed. But we believe it has seldom happened that any author of celebrity has exposed laiihsrlf to a charge more serious than what is termed pla giarism. In one cos were the author to be tried in 'the Court of Parnassus, he would he atljudged guilty of felony. The delinquent is no less a personage than the celebtated author of Cato. In Mr. Addison s works is ptiblished a comedy, entitled The Drummer ; The Ifnunted House; which was performed during his life time, and prey sted, as his, to the public. His most inti mate friends 13 not t. tear to have had any doubts as to :.is be!n..t: the author. Fir Richard Steele, in a preface which is published with this comedy, statts conversations that he had with Mr. Addison upouthe subject, in which be inva riably speaks of him as the author, and after a high eulo eium upon the merits of the piece, concludes by observing, .that .tr. Addison had in this, very happily, imitated the style of Molcre. Had he said DestourhiT, his observation would have been nearer the truth ; for the fact is, this co usady is nothing more than a bad version of a very spirited piec.• of that author, called Le Tombenus Nocturne. The pick, scenes, and character are precisly the same. All Mr. Addison has done is, to change the scene of action from Prance to England, the names of the Dramatis Persome, mil, in translating the dialogue to endeavour to substitute ,English humour for French ; and in doing thishe suffered all the spirit of the original to evaporate, and produced a saaarkiso piece, which even his deservedly great reputation was not sufficient to make popular. That the original has inerit enough to stand the test of translation, if done with judgment, has been lately proved from the success which Las attended its performance in the Spanish language at Madr.d.—b is/ Times. m L:i D. C(./RE ASSIZES, Aram 13. SEDUCTION. SNETON V. BEARE. This was an action brought by plaintiff for the seduction of his datachter. Damages were Lid at 3,0001. ' Mr. BENNETT stated the plaintiff's caw, He commenced by saying that he feared be would not be able, from fatigue and health, to to do justice to his client's case ; lie would hope, however, for the indulgence and attention of the Jury, whilst he sewed the melancholy circumstances connected with it. The plaintiff, Mr. Breton, was a gentleman of respectability. who resided for some time in the city of Dublin, and latterly in Cork. He was the father of seven children, whom he endemenuted to bring up in innocence and virtue. The defendant was, he understood, a young man, the son of Colonel Beare, a gentleman of large fortune and consider able respectability. He would not waste time by going through a detail of the circumatanees--they would be told by the unfortunate young limit herself ; and if her natural tale failed to call forth every manly feeling which they possessed, it would be in vain for him to attempt it. Miss Harriet Breton was the second daughter of the plaintiff, and he understood, for he had never seen her, that she was a person of prepossessing appearance and manners. Her inti macy with the defendant commenced in August, 1821. He wits introduced by • mutual friend, and received at her father's house as • gentleman. it would elves r that he had not been long sequainted with the family before he formed a systematic plan tor debauching this young July. After he had been visiting in the house tor a few months, the familiarities of these young persona became so remarkable, that one of the lady's sisters, or her mother, thought it necessary to speak to him upon the subjes t, and his reply was, " I cannot at present enter into any htinoureble engagement, hut Harriet may depend upon me t" and when peered to diwon tinue his visits to the house, he said " he feared it would affect Harriet." The young lady herself thought it right to remonstrate with him upon his frequent visits, and his answer to her was, there is no one I love but you ; I cannot at present enter it:to any engagement, but in the meanwhile why should you deprive me of the pleasure of your society ?" He (Mr. Bennett) hail said be fore that he would not mumble the Jury with details—it was enough to say that the systematic endeavours of the defendant were at length successful, and that he debauched the daughter of the plain-, liftr As soon as he gained his object and gratified his but, he im. plored the wretched girl's forgiveness, promised soon to have an cp. ponunity of nicking . her his wife, and by his persuaeions in. , duetd her to moults* that she would keep secret what had occurred. He continued his visits to her father's house, at every one of which he rimiest to make her his wife, and this guilty connexion continued to exist until the daughter of the plaintiff roved with child. During this period she had written several let:ens to bum, inviting him to her arms and her heart, and he understood that it was a boast with the plaintiff that she could not pnxitiee one scratch of his pen. This was strictly true. and the Jury wield see, by-and-by, how much it was to the defendant's credit. Whether he would expose the unfortunate young woman's letters to the Court and to the public, it was %tie him to determine; the Jury would judge whether it was Honourable to expose what was entrusted to him in warmth and affection, as a secret to be concealed (coin every other eye but his. He had heard that the defendant was yew and he believed it was so; but tie coolrees lib which he laid his platen the perseverance with which he ruined them, the caution with which lie refrained from writing to her, were no sign; of juvenility; they were rather evidences of the practices of an experienced debauchee. This Inexperienced youth, too, had given the young woman medicine to Furore I.lxpr lion ; he actually induced her to take a dose, but she found it was so nauseous that she refused to repeat it, although he used every ef. Get to persuade her, and here his experiment failed. Ile was young, and his youth would be urged In his defence ; but if he was not checked in time, what kind of manhood could be expected front such an extraordinary exuberance of youthful blessoin. If this defence was urged it must totally fail, for although the defendant was young, he had shown his maturity in vice and profligacy. He mentioned that the attempt el procure abortion, by medicines which he, defendant, got from some qusek, h ad failed. After some time the unfortunate young lady found it impossible to con ceal her pregnancy ; she asked the defendant what ws to be done, as her father and mother must find it out; hie reply was, " Don't let it be known; don't think I will be such . a villain as to desert you." lie has given himself the name, Gentlemen, said Mr. Bennett, fur he has deserted her. She said it became too evident, and that she could not conceal it longer. " Then," said he, " you must leave your father's house; the coach to Dublin passes by the door, I will have your seat taken to-morrow morning, and follow myself in a few days." The unfortunate wrung woman waspres pared to quit her home next morning, but Me. Beare disappointed her and del not appear. His client, the unfortunate father, at length discovered his shame; discovered that his beloved and adored child was debauched and ruined. Another father would have turned her out on a scornful world. Although hie client felt her ruin as his deepest pang. for he had other misfortunes, yet something of the feelings of a father remained, and he could not bear to turn out his child upon an unfeeling world. lie had not turned her out, and with astonishment he (Mr. Bennett) bad heard that the unfortunate father had weakened his cause, because he kept his daughter in the house after he had come to the knowledge of the cireumstance that she was with child by Beare. lie could not turn her out, but he could not bear to we her--she was kept in an acetriment which he never entered--he could OK look upon thej countenance which innocence once &domed, but now that of guilt. About a month ago she was delivered of • child; Beare is the parent. Her mother felt deeply the stain which the wretched girl had brought upon her family--slit winnuered her feelings, however, and attended her child with all the fontlnees of maternal assiduity. Although this unfortunate parent's heart was rent with the indiscre. tion of her child, she forgot her guilt in her misery, and gave every atteution which a mother could bestow during her daughter's conbnemein. He would be much surprised, if there was one man with a particle of feeling who relict condemn these heart-broken parents. Gentlemen of the Jury, this case has been talked of about your city ; every person wonders at the profligacy of the young seducer. My client appeals to you as fathers, brothers, and men; as von value the character of your country. and your own character, ills tinguiehed sit is amongst the ,Juries of the kingdom ; he call,' upon you as gentlemen, to give him adequate remuneration for the virtue and honour of his child. The first witness examined was the young lady who was the sub ject of the present action. She seemed in delicate health ; her features were regular, if not handsome, her figure good, and her whole appearance preposessink She seemed much affected coining into Court (the crowd and heat of which was oppressive), and when she had ascended the witness chair, fainted. She wax restored, how ever, in a few minutes ' and stated her name to be Harriet Breton. She was examined by 31 r. Hitchcock, and swore, that she was fourth daughter of Mr. Breton, who was an attorney. Her father lived at first in Dublin, and afterwards reruoved to Wa:t rford. Iler fathes was respectably connected ; he had sine children ; she was brough up with care anti affection, as well as his other nith:ren. ( burst into tears when this question was put _as soon as she became composed, the examination was resumed.) Knott s Mr. Beare, who became acquainted with her family in Aug. IN?. ; her father lived on the Dlaninite-road. Mr. Beare was received at her father's house as a visitor, until her mother spoke to him to desist hem his visits. This was in 0ct.1122; after that his visits continued. Witness and he often walked together, and he paid her particular attentions. lie repeatedly said that he never would love any other girl but her. This hind of acquaintance continued until the end of 18•22; they were sometimes alone. He made improper approaches to her per son, and effected its object in leecenther. Witness found tiered( pregnant in some time after this, and, at the desire of defendant. told him that she was ill. She was apprehensive of something of the kii.d. One evening he came, aid when sac said she was ill, he saki be would bring her medicine; she was afraid to take it, and he said he would be very angry it' she did not. Next day he cattle sith the medicine; he called it phosphorated salts, and desired witness to take it. IfWitness took it, and it made her very ill, upon which she refund to take a second dose, al though he brought i: in his pocket. The family thought, for some time after site was pregnant, that she had been growing lusty. One day she saw Mr. Beare, and told hint she was very ill ; he replied that she was only gating fat, and desired her not to allow a doctor near her, but to take medicine. In October last she saw him, and an arrangement was made that she should go to Dublin, and thet he should tallow her. He said he would take a seat in the coach for her next morning, and if she walked out, he and Mr. Davis would meet her. Witness did not go out, as she did not see Mr. Mews men Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant GOOLD—!fiends was told by her mamma that she is sixteen years of age; was told that lately. Cetus from England in t re rear !tile; was s small girl then. Col. Beare lives near her father's house; he and witness's father were not on visiting terms. Witness took shelter from a shower of rain in Colonel Beare's house, and that was the first time she ever spoke to William Beare, the defendant. He was not a boy then ; he told witnese at some time that lie would be eighteen next Fe bruary. After the interdict which her mother had laid upon 31r. 8., witness and her mother met him at the theatre, and he walked home with them. The Loiter was dixeleseed at ?Ir. Beare's visits. and expressed her dissatisfaction when her mother spoke to him, which was about three weeks below: ahe met Mr. Beam at the theatre. Alter this Mr. Beare came to the house, and her tether knew of the continuance of his visit,. I Several letters were now handed in. One contained a verse (of este of Mr. Moore's *men. beginning "To ladies eyes"), which linnet. swore was in the hem:. writing of an acquaintance. There was a note underneath this I verse, directed to 3lr. Beare, tswitaining these words—" Come, down to-night, if you are not tired of— yesterday." Witness i often wrote to him to come down. Witness has a sister yr the I name of Lear, who was on a visit when the detcudant visited at the house. Mrs. Lear is now Ain. swift, and lives in Dublin; Mr. Swift is a married man. het he told Mrs. Inter thet he was divorced frum his wife. Witness has heard that Mira. dear's hatband is dead ; heard it ANNA years ago. Witness was al ways very well dressed. The seduction occurred in his (Bern's) father's garden ; he often met her afterwards at her own Anther's house. %Witness was accompanied into the garden by her sister, and • Mr. Davis, as well as by the defendant. It was in the day-tinie before dinner; Mr. Davis and her sister walked forward, and 'attained away three quarters of an lunar ; they were sitting on a seat the far end of the garden, and wane.* std defendant were on a scat at the door; witness often walked with military men about the streets, and used to be handsomely dressed ; she knew • Mr. Webster, and remembers going with him in • carriage to the Philosophical Society, with her mother and sister. Has invited Mr. Beare to meet her at the Stoney Road. I 311 r. Beare is second son to Colonel Baser , Witness asked 3lr. Beare to write, and he answered that he would always answer her letters in person. He told witness that he had hut NM. a year. Mr. Breton never went to Colonel Beare to tel him that his son was attentive to witness. The night of the scene in the garden, witness and her sister met Mr. Beare and Mr. Davis by appoint. meat. Her staler and Mr. Davis said they wcre going to look at the sleer. What occurred was effected by defendant with rest • force and violence. 11'itness "creamed, tried, and " 11 m1111led 1 she sat near tbst door when it happened; it was in the middle of the , noon day, and near a high road ; it was ir. the cold month of i December. One of those truer., which witness edmitted was her handwrit ing, was now produced ; and the words " remember the fifth of January," pointed out to her. She said that on that day also the j defendant had used her iIL The letter, with the poetry and words, if you arc not tired of land a half long between the two last words, was written after the • 'garden scene. Win. Dollen, 31. D. stated, that he was the medical attendant of Mist D. during her confinement, and to the present moment. Her , health is in a very delicate state at present ; she labours under ge-1 I.neral dropsy, and her feet are much swollen. Witness attribute!' I. her state of health to the depressed state of her mind, and to her' nut having had sufficient exer ci se before her accouchemenL Mos- I j pborate of salts is a mild aperient medicine, and could do no injury. I ll'itness understands that the child of which Miss "Ireton was de .' livered was sent home to Mr. Beare. Mr. Sergeant GOOLD, with much force and eloquence, followed lin mitigation of damages. His Lordship, with his usual precision, charged the Jury, who retired for about half an hour, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 400 L and fid. costs. Drag sympathy was evinced by the Court fur the distressed situation of the young lady. I'OLICE. MANSTrA . TIOUSE. The wife of a highly respectable Merchant appeared before the Loup 14f AVOI, to make a complaint against • savant girl, who had violently assaulted her. The Lady stated, that she was separated from her husband, who allowed her an annuity for I.er maintenance. She did nut consider the 1111111 sufficient, and a few days ago she went to the house of her husband, with a view of making a representation to him. The door was opened by the defendant, who no sooner saw her than she knocked 11.:r down. A gentleman who was passing saw her lying senseless on the ground, and interfered to protect her from the fury of the defendant, who continticd to maltreat her whilst she lay on the ground. His Lordship would see the necessity of punishing • servant who committed such on outrage on a mistress in ha own house. The servant girl, in her defence, declared boldly that his Lord ship ought not to believe she Lady, as she was in the habit of drinking, and_ patting herself in a condition very improper for a lady of her station in lite. The walls of the rooms, and every part of the house, were marked by the pots and things aimed at the bead of he husband. Many times he had been seen running though the neighbourhood, and she after him with a poker in her hand. She often brought match women and beggars to drink with her in his bat parlour; the gentleman at length found himself obliged to obtain a separation. She had often since conic to raise disturbances, and he had given strict orders never again to admit as on any pretence whatet cr. She came, however, on the day in question, and on her (defendant) refusing to admit her she at. tacked her in the malt violent manner. . . . Defendant dictated she did no more than resilt the intrusion of the lady, who fell down in the struggle, and then declared she had been knocked down. _ . The lady, who was somewhat confused at this explanation, said she was sure her bushand had never given the servant any such instructions. She had assumed a manner that did not become her. The Defendant. —Madam I do my duty u a servant. The Lady—.A my strange duty indeed, to take an airing with your muter in ilk carriage, and beat his wife if you are his set. rant, whicis I do not believe. A young man, the clerk of the merchant came forward and warmly advoused the eause of the lady, who, he said, he was sure, was estrenteiy . ill-treeted. The servant girl WM most insolent, aid assumed the au of a mistress. The servant, in recrimination, charged him with assuming not only the air but the place of a husband to the complainant. The young man denied the charge. The Lona 11/AV o a endeavoured to put a stop to these attacks; and the defendant's account being corroborated, his Lordship there. fore discharged the defendant, and recommended the lady in fu ture to be content with the allowance made to her, which was am. ply sufficient. and to perform ha agreement by keeping away from her husband's house in future. GUILDHALL. ..... --- DIMINO ATTEMPT TO ROll THE LEEDS WAGGON.--Johis Walsh, a fellow of notorious character, the brother of the Walsh who was so long detained in custody, on the charge of being con cerned in the extensive bank-note robbery from the Cranbrook waggon, in the Borough, some months ago , was brought up yes terday before the sitting Magistrate, have been defeated, and taken into custody in a most daring attempt to plunder the Leeds waggon, in the very middle of the day, in its passage through that public thoroughfare, Goswell.street. Front the story told - by Joseph Hilton, the guard, and William I Lowe, the driver of the waggon, it appeared that the vehicle was 1 on its way to the Bull and Mouth Inn, between two and three ' o'clock or. Sunday afternoon, heavily loaded, with a cart attached to the tail of it, in which was some other valuable property, and in which the guard was sitting, for the purpose of protecting it. The prisoner jumped up, and seated himself at the hinder part of the cart, as if he wanted a ride, but without making any overtures pre. viously to either the driver or guard ; and the latter, knowing the value of thepsuporsyiksbad charge of, ordered him to get down, and finding his order alsrefairded, pushed the prisoner down : be again mounted, sad was again repulsed. Another man here joined the prisoner, and they both got up, one of them inquiring what was under the sheet which iris spread over the goods. The guard replied it was nothing to them, and once more expelled the intruders. A stone was then thrown at him ; a cry of " Pull him out !" was ' raised ; several fellows came round, and he was instantly pulled out, and severely beaten. This scuffle attracted the notice of the driver, who, seeing the situation of his companion, ran lip, and inflicted a tremendous blow with the butt end of the whip upon the I head of the prisoner. The wag goner was immediately attacked by the principal part of the gang, but he successfully parried their as re peated I peated saults, with a formidable looking iron weapon, until, in Aldetsgatc-street, Taylor, the street-keeper, came in view, when the whole of the fellows made off, except the prisoner, who was given into custody. At that time the blood was streaming down Walsh's fare so profusely, that It was judged proper to have his wounds examined and dressed before he was Wgal in the Compter, and yesterd lie appeared with the greater part of his head bound up, the ban dages completely saturated with gore. The prisoner's defence was that he had been out drinking, and merely wanted a lift at the tail of the cart. He might have got away if he had chosen, but he considered himself ill used, and he followed to get redress. There was no evidence as to who the other parties concerned in the attack were, and the prisoner himself denied all knowledge of them. Mr. Alderman Two wesow expressed his surprise that none of the persons passing had interfered. As to the prisoner, he reco!- lacted haring seen him before the Lord Mayor nine months ago. upon a serious charge ; and although lie did not consider the evi dence went the length in this instance to justify his committal, he had little doubt what his intentions were. He would be now dis charged, but he admonished him to take care of himself. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. MA It LUOROUGH-S TREET. ET. Yesterday a jew of the name of Wolfe, who keeps a shop le lienimings.row, St. Illartin'a.lane, applied to Sir George Farnint under the following circumstances. Ile stated, that a short time back a gentleman, named Rca More, came to I:is shop and hired from him a full dress suit of clothes for attending levees; the agreement IV lit, that he should be paid tlf. for Opr use of them fur two days. Ile furnished him with the dress, etassisting of a hat, a coat, and waistcoat, richly embroidered, • white kersyinere small clothes, with buckles, and a sword, in all, value about 20/. From the reference he got from him, which was to an officer in the Admiralty, he entertained no doubt of his rethecta. bility. On calling on him for payment, and for the dress, this gentleman alleged that be was entitled to the use of them another day, which would be three times instead of twice. Complainant said he could allow of no such thing, there being no such agree. malt between them, and on expostulating with him, lie was treated with the grossest abuse, and an absolute refusal to give him back the dress ; the coosequenee was, that by the detention of them, he was prevented from hiring them out to others to his very great injury. sir George Farrant said the case was one of very great hardship, but one that he could not interfere in, and recommended as apo - to a solicitor on the occasion.

Wright's clerk called for paytr.cnt of the wine in a day or two after, and to his great surprise was informed that it was paid for, and the account was produced. Ingairy was immediately set on foot, and the prisoner was rakers into custody. It appeared that the prisoner, on leaving Mr. Wright's shop, proceeded to the house of Isle. De Grey, and presented the account for payment ; and a receipt being to it, of curse no suspicion was entertained but that he was rent from Mr. Wright ; the account was forthwith paid. He made no defence, and was fully committed.

It is most remarkable that, although great numbers of persons were passing along the Strand at the time, auid many very near both the front and rear of the waggon, not the slightest acci_ dent took place, nor was a single square of glass broken in the hop-fronts.

Just on the eve of his being launched into eternity, he said, in the most solemn manner, that as he was in a few moments to appear before his God, to j ust • udgment that never was to be revoked, he thought it common jce to declare Thomas Sul livan innocent of the crime for which he was to have suffered with him on that day, and that Stillival had neither hand, act, or part in it.—Lietef Clrenicic. ENGINE SILK WEAVERS. Adjourned G&ncral Quarter Serious, held at Guildhall, for London. On Saturday last. shortly after Sir J. Peering, Sir C. S. Hunter, Mr. Aldewnan Wood, and Mr. Denman, with the two Sheriffs for the City_, had taken their seats, Mr. FRENDENGAIIT, on the part of the Master Manufacturers engaged in the Engine {Veering Silk Trade, moved the Court to reciive their petition, praying for an alteration in the price of wages, as in um al I y agreed upon between the manufacturers and the journey . men, which would appear from the assent in the accompanying Schedule to the petition. Mr. DEN max —Have you given the regular notices which the A 0 requires ? Mr. hlewrext.r. replied in the affirmative: and then produced two newspapers of the Inch of March, from which Mr. Shelton read the notices. Mr. DEN NAN—Your notices appear to be pr op er ; and, as you have complied with the necessary foetus prescribed by the Act, you shall have the ratification *ought for. THE LATE ELOPEMENT. A paragraph appeared in —..."— most of the public journals a few days since, announcing the elopement of two young votaries of Hymen from Brussels. The lady is the daughter of the late Sir George Brathwaite Boughton, of Poston Hall, Herefordshire, and had been residing fur some time with her mother at Brussels, where the ac quaintance between her and the young gentleman commenced. His name is Alexander Robinson, the son of a gentleman of small tbrtune who fornierly resided at Kensington. The plop of elope , ment was so will formed, that not the slightest suspicion was en tertained of any intention of that kind until the absence of the par ties led to inqu iry, the result of which wasa discovery of the truth. Pursuit was instantly commenced, and on the arrival of the pur suers in London., they lost all trace of the fugitives. The conjec ture however was, that they were gone on to Gretna, and applica tion was made to the Magistrates at a police-office for the arm:once of their officers. Two active men were ordurod to proceed to the north with all possible despatch. This was on last Friday se'nnight, about one o'clock in the day, and, before two, the officers were on the roz.tl at full speed, in a chaise aid tour. They Imo ' seeded without a moment's delay until they arrived at Huntingdon, I where, for the first tame, they gained certain intelligence of the ob jeets of their pursuit; but learned from :he same murce that they had so much advantage in point of time, that it would be utterly impossible to overtake them. The officers, however, recollecting the • mutability of human affairs," as Dominic Sa Mplolll bath it, thought it posmble that some accident might occur to delay them, and they went on to Gretna. On their rrrival at the far-famed spot they found their informant at Iluntingdon to have been hut too I correct in his judgment. They drove up to a public-house in the village, about four o'clock in the morning, and all was soon hustle and glee within, in the expectation that another match was about to take place. The " gold wife" wan soon a-foot, and "Davy Laing," the worthy pastor, wan sent for, but on his arrival he was hugely disappointed at learning the nature of their errand. He, however, took a •' stoup o' brandy" with them, and having given them • certificate, they paid hint the necessary fee and departed. On reaching Cathie, in their journey home, they learned that the fugitives had stopped a night at an inn there ; and they also found stopping at the inn, a man, who stated himself to be a soldier, and who had been left in the care of some luggage by the bride groom. He boasted to the officers of having been the projector and manager of the plan of elopement, sad taunted them upon their failure. He stated that he and his wife accompanied the youthful couple from Brussels . The o ffi cers, when they reached London, which they did very speedily, were employed to trace the priories, in order that the i bridegrootn might be served with a citation from the Lord Chancellor, the lady . being a ward of his Lordship's Court. They succeeded an doing this, and one of them served the vourg gentleman with the legal process on Wednesday last. fie was dreadfully agitated at receiving it, but of course obeyed the mandate, and on Thursday the matter was heard privately before the Lord Chancellor. lhe case was not pressed with severity against the offender, and the further hearing was postponed until the return of the lady's mother, who, we understand, is now on her journey to England. The bride is 18 years of age, beautiful, and highly accomplished : her husband is 24, and report speaks by no means so favourably of his personal ACCIDENTS. OFFENCES, ie. MURDERERS or rite FRANIS.—In OUT /ISt we noticed the execution of the Cremina, who were convicted of the murder of Mr. Franks and family, and mentioned, that they persisted at theplace . of execution in a denial of their guilt. We have received information of circumstances, which, independently of their con viction, before an intelligent and respectable Jury, and an en lightened and humane Judge, after a solemn and patient investi gation, can leave no doubt on the mind of any rational person, that they were actually engaged in that deed of horror, in which they so obstinately persisted in denying all participation. Three months before their trial, these deluded men sent a memorial to a Nobleman of this county, requesting his interference in their be half, in which they stated as an apology, that they had been placed on their knees to be shot. This leads to an inference too plain to be misunderstood; but to leave no room for a shadow of doubt, a Chiet Constable of Police has made affidavit, that in the course of the trial, when Mr...!zeroant (boold was stating the rase on the part of the Crown, he beard one of the prisoners say to the other two. in a low tone—not supposing that It would he overheard—" This man knows all the business, (led have mercy on us !" After these circumstances, of the truth of which there cannot be the slightest doubt, those unfortunate creatures were suffered to quit the world, and appear in the presence of their Maker, with a denial of their guilt. The inference is plain—we leave it to an intelligent public. ' It only affords an additional instance of the deplorable anomalous state of society in this country.—Cork Advertiser. Magner, the approver on the trial for the murder of the Franks' family, reached town on Wednesday morning (15th instant) and was immediately conducted to the Penitentiary, where, for the present, he is to remain. The trial of the other persons charged with the participation in the offence, have been postponed till next Assizes. MELANCHOLY ACCIOENT.—On Monday last, a youth of the name of Robinson, son of 3lr. Wm. Robinson, gardener, near Southwick, while incautiously venturing upon a lime kiln, the under part of which was burnt hollow, the part on which he was sunk in, and he was immediately consumed to ashes.—Dar/cow Chroviiek. Friday morning, about four o'clock, three notorious cha racters, who had been apprehended on suspicion of theft, broke out of the police office, by removing some bricks from the wall of a tem porary out-house dote had been erected for the convenience of the Pnioners.—Glasgenr Chrenicle. ATTEMPT AT SCICIDE.—On Monday last Capt. G—, of the Royal Navy, from the neighbourhood of Exeter, who has been residing at Pierce's Hotel, Falmouth, shout a week, nt ' tempted to put an end to his existence by cutting his throat with penknife. After he had lost a considerable quantity of blood be became sensible of his situation, and rang the bell, when assist : ance was immediately prozured, and we are happy to say he is in a fair way of recovery. The cause of this rash act appears to bare been his having lived too freely, being at the time in a state of mental delusion. On Monday last an inquest was held before Michael Hall, Esq., Coroner for Chester Ward, on the body of Henry Curry, who was killed on Sunday morning, about two o'clock, at Birtley. The jury, after a slim deliberation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder azainst Thomas Atchison, of Clemison-row," who has been cominitted to our gaol on the Coroner's warrant, to take his trial at tile next su:nmer assizes..—Darhent Chronkk. DESTRUCTIVE Fear. s . r K us:fol.—Extract of a letter, dated Kendal, April 15 One of the most fearful occurrences has taken place in this town that has fur many years happened in 'Westmoreland. The large new woollen mill, belonging to Messrs. (Sandy and Sons, of Kendal, was completely burnt down on B'ed-1 nesday night. The fire was first discovered about half-past eight o'clock. She engines and manual assistance were obtained with all possible speed, but every effiwt proved ineffectual. The flames continued to rage with great violence till about one on Thursday morning, when the combustible materials on the premises being in a great degree exhatt , ted, the power of the flames declined ; but they were not got tinder till four o'clock. The fire attained its most awful pitch about midnight ; the whole vale was literally illu minated ; the reflection, from the clearness of the night, must have been seen at an immense distafre. Many thousands wituesaed the ' terrific scene ; and as the multitude lent the most prompt aid in saving the manufactured goods which were in the ware•vonms, a considerable quantity was rescued from the devouring element. No part of the property or premises was insured. The loss is diffe rently estimated ; same say 15,0001., others, 25,0001. ; it may, per haps, be rather within 20,0001. The mill was very large, nearly new, and the roachi..cry of the best kind; and the whole is de. stroyed, as wed as an amazing stock of wool. The firm is retry rich, and can well bear the loss; but a great many work-people are for the present unfortunately thrown out of employment. It is satisfactory to state, that although the crowd was immense, and the exertion to save the property great, nu accident occurred.—Carffek Patriot. Eitel! TIONS —This day (Thursday) Timothy Brosno lune, Patrick .Irzfalip, and Thema. Lillis, whose trial for the burning of Churchtown Barracks, and the murder of Hugh Col ligan, was reported i❑ our la.t, were executed at Gallows Green. They did not addrevn the crowd ; but we have authority to state, that Brosnaitan, who (Iceland ills innocence so strongly after con viction, made an unreserved communication of his guilt; that M•Auliffe did the same, qualifying it by 53)irg, that having been wounded early in the attack, he was rot pre s ent when the death of the policeman took place; and as to Lillis, for whom in strong an alibi case was made out, he admitted having been actively ono. cerned in the disturbances, but would neither admit nor deny that he was at the burning of Churclitown.—eurk Soull era Rpurier. a The Tiger, Captain Drake, embarked this week at Fal mouth, the Venial' miners taken up by the Mexican Mining Company of London.—C,raorall Gazette. A Fl MALE RANTER.—On Sunday morning last a female Ranter preached two sermons in a barn at Chester le-Street. Actcr each sermon cnllections were made to wards defraying the rent and other expenses of a room, to be used as a chapel. A great number of people at tended out of curiosity, but very little money was collected. —Durham paper.

The Craven Meeting at Newmarket, which commenced rester day, caused the room to be very thinly attended to-day. This is always the case when there is a meeting at Newmarket, and it would be a waste of time to state the odds on the Derby and Oaks, which are unaltered; indeed, the attention of the sporting men pre sent, was confined to the Riddlesworth, the determination of which stakes, will have, of course, so material an effect on the others. On this, some little betting aok place at the following odds, which with an account we h ave t hi s day received of the betting at agreesir market. 7 to 4 apt Quadrille 4 to I apt Rebecca 7to4at I t fun Carlos li to I apt Laurel Leaf On Monday, as Alt. Joseph Revell (gamekeeper to the late Sir Windsor Hunloke, Hart. of Wingerworth Hall, near Chesterfield) and two others, were cock shooting in Heath Wood, tear the vll lage of Wingerworth, one of them fired at a woodcock on its rising, when the attention of one of the party was immediately attracted by the circumstance of a wild duck flying from an oak tree close by, in which was an old aow's nest. The person who saw it fly was certain it went direct from the nest; the ot Ners would not believe it, but supposed the duck must have been flying past the tree at this very moment the gun was fired. The contest betwixt the parties became so warm, that one of them was determined to ascend the tree and examine the nest, and, wonderful to relate, he found that the aquatic fowl had taken possession of it, an d th a t s h e h a d b een sitting for a length of time on no fewer than eight duck eggs. The nest eggs were left unmolested, and (if they have not frightened her so as to prevent her returning) they are determined to watch her movements, to see (when the period of animation arrives) by what means this singular bird will convey her young from their aerial situation to the water, their natural element —Derby Re porter.

MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Moamar. Arno 19. Our supplies of Wheat continue but moderate, but having a very heavy trade to-day, prices of last Monday were barely supported this dullness we consider must be attributed to the proposition for allowing Foreign Wheat to be ground into Flour for exportatien. and likewise to the very high average price of Wheat (745. 2tl. pa. qr.) in the London IFletum of last week. Barley was neeedot dull sale, though the supply was short, and a small decline ia prices must be noted. There was a good arrival of Oats this moo ing, but having but few buyers, males were heavy at last week's prices. We had no variation in prices of Ream and Pease, bat there was not so much inquiry for the former articles. last Monday. The Clover seed season being nearly over, this article was exceed ingly dull sale at declining prices. - - SMITHFIELD. MOYIsAY, APRIL 19. We are not so full to-day VI on Moaday last, either of Beef or Mutton: but this being Easter week, and the fineness of the weather also operating materially, we find the supply at Market quite adequate to the demand ; and while we quote Beef at the terms of this day se'nnight, it should be understood that none but the primest Norfolk Scots fetch 4a. The general price of good polled Mutton is named at 4s. being a redo rtion ; there may be a few fine Downs at 4d. more, but we cannot bring such a price into our figures.
