IRefirre Mr. JUSTICZ PAIL" CHILD MURDER. Sarah Rend was charged, on the Coroner's Inquisition, with the wilful murder of her new-born illegitintam female child, by drown ing. at Wandsworth, on the 11th October last. Law stated the csee for the prosecution, with great temper and forlextranec. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, a young woman aged 28, had been laundry-maid in the service of Mrs. Stewart, who keeps a balky' school at Lower Tooting. Previously to the II th of October last the prisoner was observed by some of her fellow- 1 I servants to he in a state of pregnancy. On the lOth of the month she obtained leave from her nostress to be absent for a couple of days. Between See and six in the evening of that day she called at the house of her aunt, Mrs. Baskin, who lives at 11, Wellington. place, Newington, and asked for a night's bulging. Her aunt told her she could not sleep there, as her husband was then lying dead in the house. After some persuasion, however, and it being suggest.. ed by the prisoner that she had no other place to sleep, she con sented that she should sleep with her. They went to bed toge ther. in the course of the night the prisoner gut tip once or twice; her aunt inquired what was the matter with her ? and she replied •• Nothing.' The aunt went to sleep ; and about three o'clock was mused by the try of a child. She immediately jumped up, and found a new-born baby on the bed. She screamed out, and said to the prisoner, .` Staab Sarah ! you have hmtight me to shame and diagram." She got up, and assisted the prisoner to sit on the bed, and observed to her that there were no clothes to dress the child. The prisoner said she had some in her bwiliet, which she had brought the night before. Some clothes were accordingly found in the prisoner's basket; a nurse was sent for, and the child was dressed. It was a full.grown tine female infant. The none asked the prisoner if she knew who the I father was ? and she replied that she did, and that he was well able to provide for the child. The prisoner expressed her in tention of going that morning to Streatham, to tied the father ; but she was not well enough to go nut until the afternoon. She then quitted her aunt's house with the baby, anti walked to the Eltpliant and (tattle. It was then mining hard, and she took the outside of the Streatham coach, and arrived nt Streatham about six in the evening. The prisoner's aunt spoke of her as being a humane and kind-hearted girl ; she had had another child about three years since. Upon the prisoner's snivel at Streatham she called with her infant upon a gardener named John Gilmore. She charged hint with being the father of the child. He asked her how long she had lain in ? She replied, the day before. Ile looked at the child, and told her it looked a week old, and therefore said he would not come to any tern's. She then walked away, threatening to swear the child to him on the Saturday following. This man ad ntitted that he had had intercourse with the prisoner on the 9th of Jannary preceding. On the 2tth of November last a little boy, named James Brett, was looking fur water-rats in a ditch in (Mr ratt-lane, near Garratt-green, and saw a new-burn infant with its head under the weeds lie poked it out with a stick, and brought it to the hank, and then gave information of his discovery in the neighhoarliood. The child appeared about two days old, and was putrid on one side, and quite naked. Thomas bevett, a constable of Wandsworth (the most important ohne's for the prosecution), deposed, that in consequence of the child being found in a ditch as above-mentioned, he went with Brbors, another constable, and Gilmore, the reputed father of the child, to 3lra. Stewart's, and there saw the prisoner, where she had resided since the 11th of October. Witness mid to her. I want to know what has becemte of the child you showed Mr. Gilmore ?" At the same time Gilmore said to her, " Sarah, you showed the child to me." The prisoner then said to Gilmore, "it is not your child." Witness then said to her, I must apprehend you on suspicion of making away with the child, and you must go sway with me to Wandsworth." Witness then took her into cus tody. In their way (being out of the hearing of Gilmore and the other constable), witness asked her whether Mr. Gilmore had been with her during the time she had been in the family way ? She replied, that she had seen him in a private count in August last, and had told hint of her situation. From that time until the birth of her child she had not seen him. Ile then asked her whether Gilmore had made her any promise to support thechild, or provide for it? She aid Ihe had told her it could nut be his child, and that she might swear Itoit if she pleased. He then asked her what hail become of the child, and she said she had made away with it. Ile then asked her where she had made away with it, and she replied that she threw it into a ditch. He asked her whether she had struck or braised it. She said she hail not. lie then said to her, " Did you put 1t into the ditch alive ?" She said, " Yes." About this po riod of the conversation, he told her that she was not bound to con fess to him. Ile then asked her what she had done with the child's clothes, and she said she had thrown them away in Garratt-lane. He was not eatidied with this answer. He asked her how she came : to go to Garrett-green, where the child was found. Sbe said she I was so hurt or distressed sith the answer she had received 6002 GiUmore, she did not knew what to do. She determined to go far t a nurse for her child. She did not know where she went. She in- I tended to go to Mrs. 'Uphill, a nurse who lived near the spot where the child woe found. She did not know where she went or what she did, she was so agitated. Witness is • family man, and I he knows that a woman after child-birth is liable to wanderings of the mind from any sodden affection of the spirits. The common milk fever has this effect. The prisoner's mind might be affected by the very journey which she took from Wellington-place, on the I Ith of October, to Streatham, in the TS* so recently after the child birth. . . This witness underwent a strict cross-examination by Mr. ADO L. emus. lie had been a conatable for seven years; never warned the prisoner that the inquisitorial examination he had subjected her to, would be received in evidence against her ; nor did he warn her not to confess ; he had not held out any threats to induce her to confess; it was mere conversation with her ; it was true that the prisoner had said before the Magistrate, that he (witness) had threatened, or something to that effect, which he denied ; when the prisoner saw the child found in the ditch, she said it was not like her child ; she admitted that her child was a female. The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoner was called upon for her defence. She said that the constable, levett, had harrassed her with questions, and such was her agitation, she conversed in the affirmative to every query put by hint. The supposed confession had been extorted from her under a threat that the Magistrates would compel her to state all she knew of the transaction. No witnesses were called for the prisoner. Mr. Justice Pane then seminal up the case for the Jury, and suggested fur their consideration every topic favourable to the in terests of the unhappy prisoeer. With respect to the supposed confession, he said, that undoubtedly the evidence of Lovett, the constable, upon that subject, could not in strictness he rejected, although it was for the jury to say whether that confession had not been drawn from her by the impertinent administration of questions highly improper on his part, and not the result of a voluntary statement arising from the compunctions of • guilty conscience. If they thought that the prisoner had been improperly operated upon by the officious conduct of the turntable, they ought not to give that weight to the alleged confession, as they were hound to do in cases where a prisoner voluntarily sought a communication of guilt. The effect to be given to s confession obtained in the way proved, was peculiarly within the province of the jury to esti. ntstc. ,bother mon im p ortant consideration in this case was, the nomiun of malice •prepense, which went to the whole gist or the alleged crime of murder. Had the prisoner any uudice preperse towards her unfortunate infant ? From first to last the unhappy woman at the bar did not appear to hare contemplated the violent death of her offspring. With the ' tender forecast of a mother, she had prepared for the nurture and care of her infant, by providing clothes beforehand, and after its birth, had sought out the father, who, by law and nature, was bound to protect it. (tieing full abet to the sup posed confession, it appeared that the unhappy -roman was he reared of her sense. at the moment of the draidful act, and was not in such a state of mental perturbation as rendered her insensible to ' the fies of nature, so pazionieint in human conduct in every other trial of humanity. It was for the Jury, therefore, under such en.- ' curoatsrees, to consider whether the unhappy woman at the bar was really Reif-pommied at the period in question, and had meditated I the destruction of her helpless infant; bearing at the same time in mind the circumstances of her having previously borne a child, which she had nurtured with it:eternal tenderness, rid had reared to this hour; and that, in general, her heart was influenced by the impulses ' of tenderness good nature—and humanity, the common attnlsutes of her sex. Indeed. without the supposed confession there would have been no evidence to go to the Jury, as to the identity of the child, because that point depended upon the credit to he given to the constable's relation of what the prisoner was alleged to have statcd. The whole case was in the hands of the Jury. and his Lordship was quite persuaded that their verdict would be the result of a due regard to the interests of public justice on the one hand, and an anxious regard to the fate of the unhappy prisoner on the other. The Jl' deliberated a few minutes, and found the prisoner— Gni/tv. Their verdict was received by the auditory with manifest sensa tions of pleasure. Mr. Justice PARK then called up the constable, Levett, and se. verely admonished him for the impropriety of his conduct in put.. ting questions to the prisoner fur the purpose of extracting a con fession of guilt. His conduct was extremely improper and highly illegal. Ilia Lordship ordered the expenses of Levett and of ti dime, ' the putative father of the child, should be disallowed. Irillianillarros, Laski Parsonage ' 04PiethIC Spinet, and Lsey Par s o ns , were indicted, the two first-mentioned prisoners under the statute Mith Elizabeth, for breaking and entering the threihni,.house of John Clarke, in the parish of St. Mary, New. ington, in the day-time, no person being therein, and steslil 301. and upwards in gold and silver money, and other articles o. pro. face. ; and the two latter prisoners as being acce.saries before the Mr. J rsscer and Mr. LAW conducted the prosecution, and Mr, ADOLPHUS the defence. The facts against the male prisoners were clearly made out, and the were found Gaffey. The women wire acquitted, there being nothing whatever rl rhew that they were privy to the robbery before it was committed. Mr. Justice l'aa a passed sentence of death on Harris and Par sonage, and told diem they must expect to undergo the last my. rity of the ha. The prisoner Partionage, who was a man of respectable appearance, and of mspeetable deportment, prayed fur mercy, said it was his first (Mince, and that he had been led into it by others.

A STMEWS tls de f.:n(l ri I.7«oper, prii.cipal r witness to support theproseeution was a Path Hzer !Races, brott=4: - ...1aw a the :orwxistor, who deposed that the latter occupied a bowie, No. 4, Birdcage alley, St. George's-fk4ds ; he was in the habit of going every even ing to take care of his brother-in-law's house ; between six and se yen on the let of November, he went to the house for that purpose, and after he had lighted candles he discovered that the back-door leading to the yard was open. Presently he saw the face of the pri. oner Cropper at the back window. He gave an alarm to his sister hi-law, and than went into the back yard. As soon as he got into the yard the prisoner Cropper struck him a violent blow on the chest, *lnch staggered him. He then saw the prisoner Clarke and a third man. In endeavouring to recover himself, he inclined to wards Clarke, who drew some sort of weapon upon him, and he received a cut in the front part of one of his thighs. lle was taken into the house and the prisoners escaped. These were the leading circumstances of the case. There was no proof as to the manner in which the prisoners got into the back yard of the prosecutor's house, nor was there any evidence that they had been in fact in die house. For these defects of proof, Mr. Justice Park told the Jury they must acquit the prisoners in point of law. The Jury found the prisoners Yor The prisoner Clarke was again indicted for assaulting George Henry Stokes, the witness mentioned in the last ease, on the 2dth of October, in the same parish, putting him in fear, and stealing from hie person a handkerchief and a gold pin. The prosecutor stated, that, on the evening of the 211th October, he was going . to the house of hi+ brother-in-law, Cowland, and saw the prisoner in the art of endeavouring to open the door with a skeleton key. Ile struck the prisoner on the wrist, and knocked the key . out of his hand, and picked it up. The prisoner insisted on having the key again, seized the prosecutor by the throat, and threatened to choke him if he did not deliver it up. The pmsecu tor begged he would not ; and the prisoner, pulling a knife out of his pocket, cut the kerchief from the prosecutor's neck, in which was a gold . pin, and ran off with both. Next day the prosecutor saw the prisoner in the act of selling the handkerchief, and caused him to be apprehended. The prisoner called a woman named Saunders, who lived next' door to the prosecutor's brother-in-law, for the purpose of proving that the pin and the handkerchief were seen in the prosecutor a possession after the time the robbery was said to have been committed. The Jury, however, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner Guilty. Judgment of death was recorded. The prisoners Clarke and Cropper were then indicted under Lord Ellenborongh's Act, for cutting and maiming George Henry Stokes, under the circumstances mentioned in the first case against the prisoners. The Jury, however, on this indictment, after hearing the evi dence, and the observations of the Learned Judge, found the pri soners Not C,•ilty. Joseph Eire.r, a youth 14 years old, was indicted for assaulting the same George Spring Stokes, on the King's highway, on the 2ritit November, putting him in fear, and stealing from his person a pair of boots and a pair of stockings. It appears that the prisoner, though young, was one of a desperate gang of thieves infesting Dover-street and Kent -street. Surrey. Between five and six o'clock on the evening of the 28th November, the prosecutor was seized by four or fire men, who stopped his mouth with • handkerchief; and dragged him into a common brothel in White Bear-gardens, Dover-road. They took him up stairs, and tied hint with a rope to a bed-post. A female, named Davis, a common prostitute of the worst description, was present. The party proceeded to cut the Boots and stockings front his legs. The prisoner King was one of the party, and he cut the laces of the prosecutor's boots, which were delivered to Davis. One oU the party desired another to go down stain and fetch a hammer, to beat out the prosecutor's brains. Shortly afterwards all the party went down, and whilst they were gone, the prosecutor, with a knife, which he found on the table, cut the string with which he was tied, and escaped by a back window, and gave an alarm to the night patrol. The prosecutor's statement was confirmed by several witnesses. The prisoner attempted to prove an alibi, by the evidence of a man and his wife, named Carlton, who lived in White Bear-garden, but their testimony being unsatisfactory— The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoner Gisifty, but recommended hint to mercy on account of his youth. Judgment of death was, in the mean time, recorded. The Assins finished at eight o'clock this evening. The new Loru Chief Baron Alexander, sat on the Bench during the whole day as a visitor. POLICE. DIARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. On Thursday evening, previous to the sitting Magistrate, JORN R AWL! Newt, Esq. leaving the Bench. the following case, of a moat 'vitro,' nature, came under his consideration:— William /leery Reynolds, a carpenter, living In Peter-street' Bishomigate-without, was brought into the office, tin the custody of Andrew Hawkins, a watchman, charged with having that evening matte a desperate attempt to deprive General Burton, residing in New -street, Dorset-square, of his existence, by firing at him two pistols loaded with ball. The circumstances of the case, es related there before the Magis trate. was nearly as follows. Bat previous to the chugs being entered into, a gentleman named Lock, a surgeon, of Upper Baker street, New-road, addressed the Magistrate, saying he had the two pistols in his possession which had been tired by the prisoner at the General; but he did not believe that the General felt an iodises tion to act with severity towards hint, as be had not sustained any material injury. Mr. K‘w LIN SOX said he was sitting there to dispense stice; and, with due deference to the I lettere', he considered it his bounden duty not to suffer a charge of this serious nature to pass without the fullest investigation. Mr. Lock then bowed with assent to the Magistrate's observa tion, and stated as follows :—• A little after seven o'clock this evening, one of the servants be longing to General Burton came to his house in Upper Baker street. and requested his immediate attendance upon his master, who had been shot by a man who was then in the house ; h e ac . eordingly proceeded there instantly, and on entering the parlour, saw the General and the man seated. Witness, turning to the pri soner, asked hint if he had been guilty of such an atrocious set, and why he had done it? to which the General exclaimed, " He has killed me !" when the prisoner replied, " I sin quite content, and hope it is so ;" and producing a pair of pistols, laid them on the table, in the room where the attempted assassination was preme ditated, and said. " I have fired both of them ai the General." The General here begged the prisoner to be candid, and state whe ther they were both loaded with ball ? To which he instantly re ined, they were ; and producing other bullets, said, he had cast them the night beiore, for the express purpose. The surgeon then asked him his reason ? Ile said his reason was, that he thought his wife had been guilty of infidelity towards him, and strongly suspected the General to be a snake to him. 'Witness then ex amined the General, to ascertain the injury he had received, and found that a ball had passed through his coat, waistcoat, and shirt, and only grazed the skin of his side, the bail haring glanced away by only touching the rib but slightly. He then endeavoured to find out in what direction the ball went, when he discovered that it had passed through the fire-screen. struck the vrAll, and fell close to the lire-place, near the fender. He took it up, and carried It with the i pistols to his own residence. Mr. RAWLIN 80X, addressing the prisoner, said he was at liberty to state any thing he thought proper, but advised hint, in the most humane and praiseworthy manner, not to commit himself. The prisoner, who appeared very composed, gammen his thanks to the worthy Magistrate in the most grateful terms, and begged leave to state that he had every reason to suppose that the Gene ral had used every art to destroy his happiness and comfort, of which he could produce proof. Ile was then taken from the bar, and remanded for another ex amination, when the General would be present. The prisoner, on leaving the oflice, bowed, with respect, to the Magistrate ; and, in the cuter office, Mr. Hewitt, the chief con stable, was ordered to search him, which he readily acceded to. saying, " I have a powder-flask an d some money, which money I hope you will not take from me ;" and, appealing to the persons I around him, said, with en.phasis, " Is there a man amongst you who would not have acted under similar circumstances as I have done ?" He again expressed his thanks for the kindness of the Magistrate, and the trestmert he had experienced from the officers. Ile was happy to think he had not killed the General ; as yet he might lire to repent of the injury which he had done to a fellow creature, so vitally, who had never injured him. Mr. Morris , an officer, was then despatched by the Magistrate to the house of Mr. Lock, for the pistols and ball, which he had in his , possession, and to make every observation he could at the house of the General. flonxin OUTIAGI.—a is with the deepest shame for the character of a certain class of our working population, that we have to state, that the diabolical system of throwing vitriol upon the objects of their revenge is again revived in all its atrocity. (In Wednesday evening, while a young man was going home, a little before at: o'clock, he observed five men standing upon the public footpath, at the foot of the lane called the Witch-loan, op posite the (:allow-gate toll-bar; and when he came up to them, one of them, without saying a word, discharged a can of vitriol at his face, but which, providentially missing his aim, showered upon his hat and burned tt to a cinder. Another of them discharged a can at his body, which took effect upon his side, when they all ran off up the lane, in the direction of Duke -street, and have not yet been diseevered. The young man was fortunately near his father's home, wit:thet he run with all his speed, sod by means of shifting his clothes, and dosiii_;„; water on his person, he escaped without much injury. Had the monsters, however, succeeded in their hellish purpose, he would either hare been murdered, or ren dered for he an object more horrible than death. The young man is in no way connected with the cotton manufactories of this city or suburbs, either by himself or through his relatiors ; and as tins dreadful system has had its origin in these establishments, and I has hitherto been confined to them, it is supposed that the villains hare mistaken their victim.—Gleserw F.

TIIE LINCOLNaittRE MURDER.—The charge of mut'. der at Alford, upon which an agricultural servant, named John Smith, has been committed to Lincoln Castle, naturally excites much feeling in the neighbourhood of the untnrtunste woman's re sidence. Smith was lately in the employ of Mr. Sarjeint, carrier between Boston and Spilsby, but has since been employed by Mr. Ancient, farmer, of Sailby, and has paid his addrosse.s to Sarah Arrowsmith (the deceased) for tire years. Some of the London papers, braving a recent caution, given by a Judge at Hertford, have published the depositions taken before the Coroner on the in quest, and added reflections certainly calculated to produce a pre judice against the man, who is to take his trial at the next Assizes. Situated as we are, with the opportunity of communicating infor mation, or opinion, to perhaps every one of the twelve individuals of this county who, as jurors, will have to decide on the solemn issue between the prisoner and the country, we shall, from feeling (waiving the question of duty or right), a b stain from following the example set us by a part of the London press, and net publish the details of the affair. until they transpire regularly on the trial ; and thcn, as our readers, from experience, know, we shall be indus trious to giv e t h e fullest and the best information possible.

The pcniculars were int- redo fomented to its by a respectable correspondent fur our tuttlfration tin Wednesday, fint, through some inadvertence, they Witt Twit Tench us in sufficient time. The following are the distress ing details:_" An industrious poor man, named Cotter, with his f•usily mutilating of his wife, four children, an aged father and lothir; and servant girl, occupied a thatched cabin in this town; tne old ruin, whose health has Leen In a declining state for some tame, was taken ill, and his wife dot up to procure him drink, and, in lighting a candle, the fire communicated with some Ilan which v s. dewing near the hearth ; the apartment was instantly enveloped 1 i a flame, and the old woman and her daughtenin-law, in en •imourr.r to get it tinder, awoke her son and husband, who had nme to escape with the youngest child, who was in boil with rs father. In • fow moments the entire house was in flames, and the horrible situation of the parentr. and grandfather and orrandmother at this awful moment, must have been terrible On hearing the screams of the three wretched children, to whom it . WAS impossible to atilml any relief front the devouring de rival. In this painful predicament the old woman's feeling ;.,nit the lhouse, otier of hr. reason, and she rushed into the hoping that she 'night he ship to af ' 1 them some relief, but herefflirts were only raletilaied to add to the number of the suffeters, as almost on the instant the !oft fell in, and this world was closed for ever on this lirme old woman ' her there grandchildren, and the servant girl; the greetchrti tither, mother, and grandfather have thus been in a ym minute% rendered the most miserable of human beings; every passible siondanc^ was afforded, but of no avail.

The trouser of these four children has been very much burnt, in eflida to save them, and lies dangerously ill. it is a nielan choir fart, that this town, which is the most populous of any of its a , IP in the kingdom, although it has the advantage of a branch of an samrance company, has not a lire engine in it, notwithstanding that many instances of lire have occurred here."—( Corsii.. snit. DEM F RAII.I. From the 31issionary Chronick.l The Directors have at length the satisfaction of informing the Members of the Socioty, that they have received a letter from Mr. Elliot, dated October 18, enclosing a copy of one written to the Treasurer on the 2.lth of September, but detained in the colony ; besides communications from other persons. The loner. of Mr. Elliot amen the innocence of the Miviionaries of all runicipation whatever in the crime of the insurrection ; and the Dimemrs entertain no apprehension of advancing that which they shall have to retract, in saying the give full credit to the de elaiveion. They will quote the terms In which the assurances are mule to themselves, convinced that the manly feelings of conscious inietrity which shine .throigh them, will carry to the bosom ofd irsey impartial reader a conviction of the veracity by which they are dictated. - - Nionereus false reports have been sent forth against Mr. fsmith"--(Dlr. Elliot might have added againat himself also— ". but WNW re yourself and all the Directors, that whatever reports you may hear, the only crime that the niissieraries have committed is their zeal for the conversion of the Nogroes. They have neither been so weak nor so wicked as to cache the Negroes to rebellion. The missionaries went justice only ; they have no favour to ask ; 'they have nothing to fear. The missionaries have not degraded their holy calling, nor dishonoured the society of which they are members, by sowing the seeds of rebellion instead of the word of hie. The read MUMS of the rebellion are far, very far, front being the instructions given by the missionaries." He add s, "We are not cast down ; the Lord our (foil supports us; and we are per madzd that He who protected Daniel in the lion's den, will support aed protect us. " "Dr: Directors are persuaded that the friends of the Society will approve of their not making larger quotations from these communi cations at present, and that they will accept the brief statement Which they are about to offer, in the confidence that they will be enabled. ere long, to present to them a circumstantial justification .of the character and conduct of their greatly calumuiatcd mis. aunaties. The statement, brief as It i., will be sufficient to show the false. limit of the almost innumerable reports which have been Indus. trionsly circulated through the kingdom, and indeed through the trotid. _ ANCIENT MANXERS. There are few passages in Dome:defy peculiarly illustrative of ancient manners, observe the Royal Commissioners on Public Records in their voluminous,but interesting dissertations, prefacing their complete publication of that extraordinary survey. Gifts of lands "de virtu rt restito monaeloorunt" frequently occur. In the account of the Mar.or of nisi, in Wiltshire, belonging to Ralph de Mortimer, there is an instance of /midis:fin. three lives. Somerset shire is the first county in the survey in which there is mention of the ordeal. In the second volume of the Survey, the readiness of claimants to prove by ordeal, or by battle, occurs in a greater , variety of instances. Land in dower occurs in Gloucestershire, I among the property of Roger de Laci. In ll'orcestershire. under Escelie, there is a remarkable instance of a wanraputiee In Huntingdonshire there Is a reference to a custom still in part retained, among our Colleges and Corporate Societies. Turchil, who held Coninctune of the Countess Judith, had also held six hides of the land of the Abbot of Saint Mary Thorney, for which it Is said, " Karltatem reddebot," he made an allowance of liquor, which was drunk at festivals by the religious, in commemoration of the founders and benefactors, " Hornivier de huNdredo ;" it is added, " amiss/ quaatsin." The " Poeulam Charitatis," or graa.cup, it still retained under the same designation in our Universities. . _ The practice of Ifawking is illustrated by numerous entries. In ' several places, a sum no less than ten pounds is made the optional payment for a Hawk; and at Worcester, a Norway Hawk Is par ticularly specified. Aeries of Hawks are noticed in Buckingham shire. "An Aery," says Dr. Nash, " includes not only the nest or brood, but the place destined for the breeding or training of Hawks." The liberty of keeping these Aeries was, it appears, in early times granted as a privilege to some great persons; as in the Charter of Henry the Third to the Church of fork. The custom of a widow not marrying again till after a year, ap pears to be r oticed in the Survey of Norfolk, under Plurnmesterke The notice thereof is in conformity to the Saxon laws. In the Liter Conatiirtiomum of NOS, it is only an injunction. Canute'. Laws enforce it under a severe penalty. SPORTING INTF:LLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, 1824. CLOSING OF THE OATLANDS.

GRAND 11•NDIC•P AT DONCASTER, l:l24.—The sporting world are all anxiety as to what horses will accept Sir the new han dicap at Donauiter St. Leger Course, to be run for on the Satur day before the next meeting, for MO Boys. each, h. ft. as advertised in the York Herald, and to close on New-year's-day. At present four of the best horses in England are named; and at appears that Tinker and Barefoot give 31bs. to Emilius and Sherwood—the weights being list. 411 b. for the two first, and fist. lilb. foe the two last. This is supposed to be a challenge from the north, and is expected to be a most sporting race. Sherwood is talked of as like. ly to be the favourite.—Sporting Magazine. SPRING AND LANGAN. Thursday being the day fixed for making good the stake be tween these two competitors for pugilistic fame, the fumy assem bled at Tom Crib's. A good dinner was the first of the orders of the day, followed by copious libations of port, of which about thirty of the chosen partook, in the upper room. The grmiscs of the lower room contented themselves with porter and gin, until half past ten, when it was formally announced to their genera/ satisfac tion, that the money was down, and " all was right." The scene of action Is not yet publicly known ; but we can state that the spot fixed upon in about 106 miles from London. Soule of the Kernnieft holding official situations, are already off, to make the necessary preparations. In London betting is nearly 2 to I on Spring; and we hear, on the other hand, that odds may be had at 31anchester on Langan. RISE IN PRICES.—In almost every fair and market, in Scotland, England, end Ireland, the demand for cattle of all kinds has continued to increase, and the prices in general have na turally risen. In our own market, in particular, we have had, what really is but rare in these • dull piping times of peace,' brisk sake, abundance of buyers, and consequently better prices. The report of the two last markets in an especial manner proves this. But if the times have improved in relation to the interests of the stun-fainter, they have improved still more as concerns the agri culturist. From the additional quantity produced by a new har vest, and from the demand usually made for the Martinmas rents, the prices of grain commonly fell as low, if not lower, at this season than in any other period in the whole course of the twelve month ; but this year this Is not the case. Since the harvest, in place of the holders being forward, they are backward in their ex posures—instead of thedemand being less, it Is more than the supply —and, consequently, at the period when prices usually fall they have risen. We believe this observation will apply to almost every post of the three kings--at least we observe the offerers are back ward, the demand is brisk, and the prices are improving in Lon don and throughout England, in various parts of Ireland, and at Iladdington, Edinburgh, and Glasgow—Ayr Advertiser. A JUGG LER.—Thursday the curiosity of the good folks of Paisley was excited to a high pitch by a Juggler, announcing in his bills, that he would sail one mile down the river Cart in a common tub, drawnjby four geese—a feat peculiar to himself. He was to start at one o'clock precisely from the Sneddon bridge, and by that time immense crowds were collected on each side of the river and on the housetops, to witness this extraordinary novelty. The Necromancer at length arrived, riding on horseback, and gaily attired in Tutkish lobes. The geese were put into the yoke I with tine red tape reins attached to their necks : thus far all went lon well, and drew shouts of approbation front the admiring crowd ; but. lo ! when the intrepid mariner attempted to embark, no effort of his, nor all his art, could poise the unsteady vessel. Several other tubs were instantly procured and tried, Iv' an vain—all would not do, and the project completely miscarried, to the great disap pointment of the credulous Paisleyonians. To satiate their wrath, the poor Juggler performed his wonderful feat of swallowing a sword, which seemed to be received as a sufficient apology, and he was suffered to depart in pakee.—Glasgose Free Press. CIIIIIMTMAR FEASTING.—A gang of youthful depreda tors at Cupar, envying the good cheer in which many indulge at this festive season, and determined to obtain, if possible, what would make them merry during the Christmas holydays, went first to the shambles, where they carried off about a stone of good beef. They next proceeded to the cellar of a vintner, and took from its contents a keg of whisky, containing six gallons. But conceiving that there would still be a deficiency in the projected entertain merit if cheese were wanting, they made a bold push at another cellar, to supply this desideratum, and were rewarded for their in trepidity by two excellent kebbocks. They filled a pitcher with the whisky, around which having formed a circle, they luxuriated on It, with tea-cups instead cf glasses. A clue was gut that would have had the effict of subjecting them to the meagre fare of a cell ; but this they have avoided for the present by a speedy flight.— Dania Adartiser.
