The following it a brief sketch of the ease as de tailed in evidence :—The parties lived iu the parish if Burnham, Ruck.; on Monday evening. the lot of March, the Prosecutrix was sitting alone in the house about eight o'clock, her father having gone from home ; the prisoner, Mitchell, whom she had known from.kis infancy, and who had lived tervant with her father, came to the door and knocked; on her inquiring who was there, be israwerra, " Tom Mitchell," on which she opened the door, and admitted him. Ile requested to have a file and a pair of hinges. which she gave to him, but lie said tlwy would not do. and that he must have a larger pair ; the searched for a larger, but could not find any, on which he said he knew there were larger,,aud she again looked. IVliile so doing she felt a sensation as if she was shot, and fell down. The candle went out, and while on the ground she felt a cutting at her Leek and throat, on which she cried out " Murder:" in a feeble tons., end said to the Prisoner, " I never injured you." Ik desired her in a threatening voice to be quiet ; her cries. though feeble, brought a Mrs. Lovell, who lived in the next house, to her assistance. Mrs. Lovell pitted admittance, and came in contact with a man, whom the laid fast hold of. She called to her husbotorl for assistance, who was proceeding to the spot with a light; the wind blew it out, and whiie going back the Mill disengaged himself and escaped. Previous to this, however, Mrs. Lovell coked the Protecutrix, who was bleeding on the door. if it was her father who had brut bar ? on which the Prose. cutrix answered, " No, it is Tone Mitchell ;" on which the Prisoner exclaimed, " Now do you know it is Tom Mitchell ?" it was quite dark at the time, and Mrs. Lovell said, you have betrayed yourself by sour voice. The Prisoner, however, as we have before stated, escaped. The Prosectitrix was then taken by Mrs. Lovell to her apartments, and • sur geon was sent for, who dressed the wounds and she recovered; one of the wounds was eight inches in length and two deep. The Prisoner absconded, and was traced through Reading to London, where he was taken into custody. The above facts were clearly proved in evidence. The Prisoner made no defence. Judge DALLAS *rimmed up the evidence with great perspicuity, and the Jury, alter a short con sultation, pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and the Judge itntnediately pas►ed the awful sentence of the law. _ _ The Prisoner, during the time of the trial, be haved in a very indifferent manner, and when he was found guilty, and albite the Judge was pro ',nuncio% sentence, lie appeared quite callous, and was taken to the gaol laughing. YORKSHI HE ASSIZES. YORK, MONDAY, JULY 26. CROWN SIDE. Mr. Justice BATLEY, after having congratulated the Grand Jury of the city upon the happy absence of all business for them, proceeded to the Castle to try the county prisoner'. Lord Milton is Foreman of the Grand Jury; Mr. Stuart Wortley, the other Member for the county, was also present. The proclamation against vice, pro fanesirss, and immorality, wets read in the usual form. Mr. Justice B•YL£Y charged the Grand Jury respecting the more important cases in the calen dar, and made the usual remarks upon the evidence of accomplices, and the mode of proceeding where doubts existed upon their anode. His Lordship then observed, that, although no particular case presented itself in the calender;to call for any ob. eversion' from him respecting the state of the county, yet that recent occurrences warranted him in calling upon them to apply their attention and vigilance to the 'object. He regarded the state of the country with no sentiment of alarm ; but as it was tawny, better to exercise prevention thou to apply itateisliuweit, lie felt himself justified io offering a few observations. They knew the real state of this cevoty much better than he could pretend to know it, and lie entertained no doubt that they exercised their best diligence to re move every ground of complaint. Their at. teatime was required both to alleviate distress where it really existed, and to prevent the evil desigiiuig from evading thenseeltl'es of inch die. tress, ui order to introduce disaffection. The very worst frigid of the poor man was he that codes voureit to, make him discontented with his situa tion. Much distress was said to exist in the manu facturing districts; they knew whether that was so or .not. The employment of our manufacturers depended upon the demand for their manufacturer. This demand arose, either from foreign countries, front our own Government, or from individuals at home. The demand of Government was twees.airily less' in time of peace than in time of war, when the army and navy were on a much larger reale. The de• mend of foreign countries depended entirely on the interests and wants of misuse countries ; and it could not be found that those interests and wants were now less favourable to the manufactures of this country times at former periods. With respect to the de. mends of private individuals, they were at least us great as at any former period. The higher ■nd middle classes consumed the manufactures pro. duced by the labour of the lower classes. Ac cordingly, they would find 'list places were gems rally more populous, and supported their papa. lation beite;r now than Se years ago. It, therefore, the►e was local distress felt, he hoped it would be of a temporary•oature. • It was a mailifeat fact that this country now exported a Winch gresterquantity of its manufactures than at any former period. It was a fsirrurileoploion with assWp..liwit tawatiess so Ore . r.,Www of all the distress expesiesseed is any part of tbe country; but if it could be *hewn that the lower classes derived their employment and tom. forts from taxation, it could not be fairly alleged that they wee prejudieed by taxation. It wis deniable that the prosperity of the country hail increased its exact correspondence with the increase of the national debt. About 40,000,000/. annually were by Means of oar national debt and taxation circulated 6,0..0 the country. affording capital for great undertakings, creating credit and confidence, and diffosing amour; all classes industry and wealth. If no national debt had been accumulated, and sc. cumulated to an immense extent, where could the .money roved by individual. he disposed oft It would either lie dormant, and thus industry would he checked, and enterprise enervated; ry it would be conveyed to foreign countries, and this country would be reduced to the unhappy situation of be holding with envy and regret acne other country flourishing by means of capital to which we gave no employment. These were not hasty notionr, which he had adopted in consequence of recent events; they were the deliberate and long-establish. ed conviction of his own miud. and he had come to that couvictiou after the fullest consideration of the ablest writers on the subject. lie did not at the biome time dictate this conviction of his mind as binding the opinions of others; but it was his ho. nes t and yorocieutious opinion. and he wished that opinion to be distinctly ksiown—that this country was really in a flourishing coudition, and that there was no foundation for alarm or for complaint. EX rRAORDEPIARY FLOOD. A very heavy rain came on here some time in the morning of Sunday the 18th instant, which continued with little intermission the whole of the day, and incessantly on Monday and Monday night —the whole of its duration being not less Mau sixty hours; causing such an inundation in this part of the country as has not been knower (or fifty years past; and, we are sorry to add, that numerous individuals have, in its consequence, sustained con siderable damage. Vast quantities of hay have been swept away.—the growing wheat, in several places, sanded up and warted-•-the soil welshed off and scattered hem the ground prepared for wheat, sc.—quantities of potatoes washed up, and lost— several hedge■ broken down awl demolished—and bridges over brooks and rivulets, in various parts of the country, have either been destroyed, or other. wise greatly injured. In many situations, the houses were inundated, and the inhabitants compelled to retreat for safety to their upper apartments. We have accounts of inconveniences (not to say dangers) to which null families were exposed, far more thou our Inuits can allow us to particularise. At Braystones. near Egremont, the house occu pied by (and still in the occupation of) Mr. &ped dle, was in a manner deluged for one day and two nights! In the apartments en the ground-floor, the water was generally from two to two feet and a half in height. The hone* is seated by the bunk of the Ed•n, and the wood bridge, which led from the trout of the mansion-house, across the river, to the (very perfect) remains of the Druids' Temple, was injured so as to render it impassable; whilst all the farm-buildings, which are at the rear of the main building, were so flooded as to threaten them and their contents (amongst wbkh were several young calves) with immediate destruction. In the village of Ominous.% an out-house belong ing to Mr. W. Smith, of Beckermont, but tenanted by James Little, was undermined by the deluge of water which for a long time poured upon it in • torrent, supposed to have been not less than three feet above the surface of the adjoining ground, till at length one of the Kobel ends and the side wall connected with it tumbled down. The flood in this quarter is supposed to have been at the height about seven o'clock on Monday night ; but the alarm created by its violent and rapid encroachments on the land, cud the subse quent confusion it occasioned amongst the inhabi tants. who beheld the produce of the seaaou (the fruits of their industry) borne away from them by the force of the uncontrollable element—these might well prevent any accurate observation en the height or extent of this great and uuexpected over flow. Besides the occurrences in the immediate vicinity of this town (the adjoining meadows being for some time under water, mid the like havoc being made amongst the hay, &c. as already noticed), we have similar accounts of its effects from Egreinont, Cal drr Bridge, and on all the road to Bootle, Whit beck, Whicham. &c. &c. _ . . Its ravages were severely felt on the low grounds about Cockertnnuth. Bassetithwaite, Braithwaite. Keswick, Bridefoot—sod, in short, throughout the whole country. The loss altogether, it is presumed, must amount to something very considerable.— Ou the waters subsiding, the fields, in many places, presented an appearance, such 64 has seldom been seen in this part of the. kiugdoui,, and of which it would be futile to attempt a description. At Carlisle, the Eden overflowed all the low lands in its ;tinily, and swept away considerable quantities of hay, and damaged the corn, grass, potatoes. &c. Both the utility and strength of the uewly.forwed bank from the bridge to the Castle Walk were put to the test, and the result is most satisfactory. At Kendal, the rain raised the rivers Kent and Lane to en unusual hetght, and messy of the adja cent meudows were inundated with the flood. On Monday morning a considerable quantity of hay passed down the Keut: two sheep, which had pro- Wily been surrounded and swept sway by the flood, were also observed to float down the river. Many of the. timers 'in the neighbourhood had completed their Isay•hsrvest previous to the fall of rails and a great part of the hay which was ex posed to the min on Sunday sud • the two succeeding days, was stacked on Thurodsy eveuing.—( White hoots Paper.)

It is cu-wily demonstrated to me an • matter of fact, an well us or calculation, that one halfpenny out of the present price of sixproce, per put, is paid by the public to the licrisre.holdisii intereet, either to repay the publicist for the interest on the mentions paid by him for the lease, or for the silditieual rent he pays on ac count of his house being a licensed house; is, other words, if the publican had nut that add' • •I charge to provide for be 'night take one penny per pot profit instead of three half pence, and enjoy quite its much for himself ; I am also satis fied that if the brewers bail slot to provide capital fur belying , up licensed houses, and fur loans to publican's, 14100 which capital, as well as that employed iu brewing, they compute their profits, they might take is halfpenny less, sod draw as match profit computed on their capi tat, when lipsited to she trade of bsewissg ; thus • penny per pot would he saved to Ilse commoner, which be stow has to pay id exalting mad upholding she !machinery of the licensing system. How muds more might he save.' if • f ree co mpetition were opened, it is impossible to soy ; but when we compare the average price of omit and hops in she year 1904, when porter was raised to sixpence per put, with the much higher average which followed for eight years, when under the correction of competition, the price of porter was kept down to five-pence a pot; or compare the price of malt and hope, taxes, sod expenses in the summer and autumn of 1812, with the pre•eut, when they certainly are not higher, and anal that in the first case we bail porter at five-pence per put, and now pay sixpence, I have no doubt but that the restoration of • free trade would benefit the public still further. Here I would beg leave to notice to the Committee, the hardship upon the tabooing chasms of the levy of an unnecessary penny per pot. le some of the hard working trashes, men drink six pots of porter per dry, and thus have to pay 6d. a day extra for beer, which 6d. would support a child, or pay for the lodging or clothing of the family. I would further beg leave to submit to the Hon. Committee that in point of fact, every rise in the price has taken place at the instance of the great brewers, and that every competi tion to reduce the price has emanated from minor brewers; fur instance, the Golden.laue brewery mud Dickenson 's ; and that, is the exchanging the natural peek-client of commer cial contpetitiou for the optional moderation of privileged great capitalists, the public at large are most seriously in jured. For proof of the injustice with which individuals are deprived of their property, toed absolutely ruined, without having committed a fault, without a trial or hearing, of even an imputation, I beg leave to refer to my evidence given before the Police Committee, and which I un,lerrtassd to be referred by the Mom of Commons to ibis Committee. Another form of injury to individuals happens from • denial of leave to open • public-house where new neigh. houshoods 'ripe, except it be to serve the favourite brewers, or oilier licensing connexion. For the oppressioe the beets& log system is calculated to produce, and its inadequacy fur any mead purpose, I would also refer to my evidence given before the Police Committee. Are you of opinion that the opening the trade of video'. ling would prose any injuty to the owner of licenses ? I might, in some degree, affect their speculations; but I cannot compreheud the force of the object iuts, if the question supposes an objection. It is not wished In take away • sin gle license; sll that is proposed, or wished by the Petitioners, is, that licenses may be granted to any tradesman who may be willing to ;my Government for than, and who offer to esipply neighbourhoods that are ill served. The law never intended to snake licenses a property for individuals, but they are made so. The restricting the grant of licenses to les, than the de. mand for them raises them to a premium, and mak. a them SO far • properly for individuals. If the State, in its wisdom, desires to restrict the privilege of selling beer, we subunit humbly that the state had better take the premium thereby raised upon the I:cense for its own use, Amu leave it to allure Magistrates fuem the impartial discharge of their duty, and to produce stsch monopolies as we see rising all over the country. One thing I sake to be quite clear; she customers of existing licensed houses world not leave them for stew houses to be worse off. A competition, to be effectual, most supply the neighbourhood better or cheaper than the old house. The power of preventing this is called a property, and while it lasts it is so; but it is ouly a speculation upon the continuance of an abuse of the law, and of the natural right of the subject. But this ought nut to be reckoned upon as pro perty. It is only a license fur • year, and fur mauy yeans has beets the subject of public complete* ; but we submit iris were • chartered monopoly, unlimited to time, and was blond to he hurtful lu the public, as she p.csent licensing is found to be, it might be put an end to. The power of excluding competition is only valuable as it enables the liceese-hulder to sell victualed or some than they would if she market were free; the value is just as muds as the licensed party is enabled tuckered from the consumer above the fair price. I would beg to observe, that, in soy opinion. the change of the licensing system would not be prejudicial to the puhlicairi generally, bid, osi the contrary, highly be. neficial to them; it might, and certainly would, invoke a lose to the brewer who has bought up the licensed houses, or lessen leis security, where he lies advanced money on them, but the publican, generally speaking, can only become a substantial an d indepeisdent class of men by ',utility an end to the premed system. I think 'that the for she brewers would sustain bra beds well compensated by Ilse profits they have made; but if an indemnity should be thought necessary, it may be easily managed by puslpooiog the opening the trade to a distant date; then, as the brewers fix their own prices Id beer, they may reconcile it to skin themselves to fix such a price daring she interval, as they consider would urinal them a sufficient iodemnity. I am inclined to thisik sir y are forming such an indemnity at this moment. It has been supposed, that throwing open the trade of selliorberr would cause • great increase of pub lic houses ; upon the whole I am of a different opinion; I should think there would be fewer hoboes is • power were provided for promptly punishing the victuallers who encou raged drunkenness or disorderly practices, by line, or shel ling up the house, in extreme cases ; a power which. has yet been provided in this country, although existing, I believe, io most others. In places where injurious mottos polies, exist, the present 'accuse owners would bare to improve their beer, or lower their price, or no doubt new houses would be opened; but in other places where there are now more houses than necessary, an industrious, pots dent man, with • capital ensbling him to deal at the best market, and possessing • well intuited house, would com mand • pieferetace over other victuallers near hint, not having those advantages, and would take their business from them ; then, if the Magistrates did their duty in seeing that the inferior houses did not excite custom by improper means, such houses would be dropped as public-Wages, soil lel fur other purposes, as in other trades. • (Ti k tvistfusaL) PA 7 1 11 L ArCIDEN'T. , At four o'clorlk is the onoenlog of &today sensiglit, 11124 2.144 woollen belonging to Ilbroningtoa, near 11awi. k, aseks4 Visa Bowie, aged t 1 ; Mary Bowie, her sister; and Suaanash Bruidfurel, aged 19, west to bathe is the sea at Cramer. 0., arriving at the sea-side, Mary Bowie feeling a little frighten. rd, declined bathing, but the Iwo others fearlessly tutored the wtte►.
