SPORTING INTELLIGENCP: DONCASTER RACES—Ltsr DA T, FIUDAY. TILE ST. LEGER STAKES. In our last wepromised a fuller account of the running of this interesting race, and we now insert it. There was but one false start, and when they went off in earnest, the scere was beautiful that presented itself—thirty horses, that you might have covered with a sheet, and the britliant rays of the sun glittering on the colours of their joekies: it was dazzling ,beyond description. The general exclama tion of " They're of!" was followed by the allow • of jleath, and the intense interest of the race was visible in revery countenance, as the horses appealed to float up the - hill. Dauntless tried to make the running, but stopped at the sill ' • Falcon, Addy, Actwon, and Fleur-de-lis, then being in front, and Falcon and Addy keeping up the run ning, and Memnon and Aklerman 'brays lying up with their horses. At the turn on the MIL ..„..u.dgannties was bored over a post, broke it off, tore his plate oft and very much injured his foot, at the same time falling on his knees and head ; he could not recover himself until nearly all the wt h. r a hail pawed him. Notwithstanding this accident he got up to Memnon at the Red-house, and to this the great speculators on Memnon may feel much indebted for their winnings, for, at the moment Redg: antlet came up, Addy, Falcon, .Icticon, and Fleur-de-lis, were all locked toge ther. Scott seeing Redgauntlet coming, pulled a little to , the right to get a good place to go with him ; at this instant Fleur-de-lis fell, and Memnon would havc gone over her had it not been for this unftreseen occurrence. Addy was knocked nearly down in the scrambl! , . The boy who rode Fleur-de-lis. almost senseless by the fall, jumped up like a stunned cock, and strange to say, though again knocked down and rode over by the following horses, received no injury. Ttis accident might have been fatal to all the leading horses. Homer never appeared in front. After the ucident Nietnnon took his place, and it was 100 to 1 In him. Alderman being second, but without a chance ; it never was a race. Cleveland, alive the uuld horse, ran about& quarter of a toile in the ruck, when he declined, and the people who backed the wild horse bad the gratifica f.on of seeing him walk in the very last ; he could not raise a gallop. Redgaantlet is not yet fit to travel. Merunon is now at Raby 'Castle, and Lord Darlington has given permission to Messrs. Sheanlown, of Doncaster, to have his portrait take* for publication. The races concluded this day, after a week of admirable sport; and we are satisfied that all who were present will agree with us, that it has been the moat splendid of the year, and the greatest that has ever been held in York shire, or, perhaps, in the kingdom. In concluding our report, we feel ourselves bound to do justice to the urbanity and liberal condu:t of the Stewards, which have been the theme of general admiration. A tribute of praise is also due to the Judge, Mr. Lockwood, whose unwearied attention to the arrangement of the races, and precision in deciding them, gave unqualified Mas t talon.

Sometime between Saturday night last and Monday morning, the bank of Messrs. Ormrod, Hardcastle and Co. of Bolton, was entered by means of false keys, and in a way which showed great ingenuity and dexterity in the parties concerned. As no person visited the premises on Sunday, the robbery, though in all probability committed on Satur day night, vas not discovered until Monday morning, when, on entering the hank at the usual hour of business, it was found that the iron safe, which was supposed to be well secured by one of Bramah'n patent locks, had been opened in the following novel and ingenious manner. The small springs in the lock which prevent the bolt from being shot, except by the key which belongs to the lock, had been bored out, (apparently by means of a brace) and entirely destroyed, so that the lock was readily opened by means of a blank key, which the robbers left behind them in the bank. It hail evidently been recently heated to soften the iron of which it was composed, and had been filed on the spot, to make it fit the lock which it was intended to open. In the safe were the following bills and cash, all of which were carried off by the robbers:— _ In gold - vas 111 In promiscuous load notes . 175 10 0 In Bleekbirrn notes . - 626 10 0 Is Bolton bL audit. awes - 640 0 0 Total - Lsot. 18 6 Besides a draft for 801. and four hundred M. notes of the Balton bank, unsigned, but dated the let of August, 182.5. On examining the premises, it was found that they had been entered at the front door, by means of false keys. With what species of locks the door was fastened, we do not know ; • but they bad been of very little use ; for they had not only been opened by the robbers when they en tered, but carefully locked again by them when they went away, so that no external appearance of violence •to the door presented itself ; and had it not been for a secret bolt on the inside of the door, which they were unable to shoot, and had therefore forced, they would not have left a trace of the way in which they obtained admittance. From the ingenuity displayed in effecting this rubbery, there appears to be little doubt that it was cammitte I by sortie members of that extensive gang in London, by whom so many banks have been robbed, and who confine their operations almost exclusively to this species of depredation. It is not at all unlikely that the persons who committed it, have been for some time at Bolton, watching for an op portunity, and making themselves acquainted with the locks and other difficulties they would have to overcome, We believe, that prior to the late robbery of the Paisley bank, where the the gang obtained a booty of 22,0001. they spent neatly three months in the neighbourhood be fore they effected their purpose ; and, when one of the banks at Liverpool (we forget at this moment which) was attempted, it was ascertained that the robbers had made six or seven visits to the bank to examine the fastenings of the strong room; each time opening the outer-doors, and then locking them so as to leave no trace behind them ; and the attempt was at last frustrated by their ac cidentally spoiling a lock before they were prepared to go through with their enterprise. In fact, such are the skill and perseverance employed for these nefarious purposes, that no locks, however strong or complicated, can afford security to premises which are left daring the night without persons to take care of them.—Maachester Guardian. The harvest is entirely gathered in in this neighbour hood. A gentleman, in a journey of 50 miles distant, says, he saw not a stook of grain, in the whole of that distance, in the fields, excepting a few etooks of barley in one field. We have bad here, in the last fortnight, the most variable weather Imaginable : a succession of showers and fair sunny weather, the most sudden and frewent. No pro vidence has been able to screen those that must peregrinate in their affairs, from the distress of a wetting, short of that obstinate providence which makes the umbrella one's' constant companion, whether the sky promise fair or foul.

The rt:al of Roostel, surnamed Cognani, and h al three y e ll ers pr;,onery. oq Tuesday and. Wednesday lac, drew an immense crowd to the Court where it took place aaaaa *cur. proprietor of the manufactory at Houlme. and his son. were the first witnesses called. They gave a dmailed account of all that had tome to their knowledge on the unfortunate days of the fith and 6.11 August ; tnsich, however. was upon mere hearsay. It was among the beat paid workmen that the first du content was mani:ested. A woman named Boulard was the third witness. She deposed that slit was much alarmed in consequence of an intlamma:ory cular whleh was thrown into the ahup where she worked : her fear made her quit the numufemory on sth August. and take refuge in /Cr.: AI. Her companions were astulrttritated against her, and threw her Into the water. A brigadier of gendarmerie, named Portevin, proved that M. Lesavasseur said, `• Uentlannes do your 4,luty," and not, as was asserted by the prisoners. lAiliebere and Gossinit. " Fire upon that centail:e." Several workmen wholtal been arrested were set free upon the 3layor's responsibility. Adeline, Mayor of Iloulme. was then heard. He made a deposition that completely clashed with one already made. bearing upon an iis anent tact in the cause. He deposed, that after the six rioter' had been restored to liberty, the {treater part of the ring. leaders retired, and few or none remained except front curiosity. ➢l. Levavasseur putting himself at die head of the seven genstlarmes, ordered them to charge and fire upon those canaille. It was this raised the indignation of the workmen, who having re-united after the departure of witness, committed those excesses on the person and manufactory of M. Leratasseur, which unhappily closed that day. The Paternr.srr, by the discretionary power vested in him, finally ordered that the garde-eltampetre and another titan, said to have heard the above expression, Should have notice to attend the Court. M. l.erarasaeur denied the fact with an energy which excited considerable noire in the Court. The PIIESIDENT re.eatablialied order by declaring, that if in scandalous a scene was renewed, the diourhers of order should be arrested and immediately brought to the bar. (Ma of the Barristers obterreill that, according to the testimony of rortavin. M. Letavaraeur at past said •• Gendarmes do your duty !" which could not at all be considered as a mean of conciliation. 11. Levavasseur did not deny uttering the expression, but did not mean it in the sense that was now attemptedio he put upon it. The PHESIDENT poidred out to the Jul.'? how improbable it WWI that M. bevavaeseur should bare uttered the expression attri buted to him ; besides, that it bad been unanimously denied by the gendarmes to whom it was sat a to be addressed. M. Adeline still persisted in his assertion, and maintained, that at the time those men that had been arrested were restored to their companions, order was re-established, and that it had only been again disturbed by Levert's/tem ' s proceedings. He justified thu measures he had adopted in consequence, as, he thought, there were no other means to put an end to the troubles. He added, that his example had been followed on the following Mon day by the armed force, which had also set two individuals, who had been arrested, at liberty. He bas, moreover, always thought that if M. Leravasseur had consented to take back into his service the four workmen, excepted by him in the augmentation, the seditious movements of Monday would not have taken place. Thirteen other witnesses were called, who deposed to feet' bearing upon the whole four of the prisoners. The deposithos relative to the murder of the gendarme Vivicr were heard on IVed mislay. It is Itoustel who is the most concerned in this. The Advocate -General was to be hearth on the following day. OUTR.4GES IN 'RELAX!). ATTEMPT TO AVISASSIXATE F. DESPA RD, ESQ. Yesterday morning, the 20th instant, about six o'clock, Francis Despard, Esq. of Killaghly Castle, whose activity and public seri. vices as a Magistrate are but too well known, was attacked by two assassins in his own shrubberies. It being his custom to visit a certain house in the shrubberies every morning at this hour, which must he known to the assassins on this morning, as, in the act of entering hi, a shot was fired at him, which tor, his coat close to his body ; on turning round and seeing a second man with a blunder buss, Mr. Despard darted in and closed the door, upon which the blunderbuss was discharged and seventeen bullets were driven through the door, which Mr. Despard, thank God! escaped by in. dining to one side; immediately he rushed out with a pistol, which he had the precaution to carry, in consequence of friendly and ano nymous letters he lately received, when the assassin who tired the blunderbuss missed tire at him with a pistol, and when in the act of making off; Mr. Despard tired at him, when the villain dropped his pistol, which has since been found ; from the quantity of blood that has been traced for three or four fields, it is considered he must be severely wounded. Mr. Despard then returned to his house to procure arms for his men and a policeman that was there, when they went in pursuit, but in consequence of the wooded state of his demesne, the blond-thirsty villains unfortunately escaped. Mr. Despard has sent the military and police to scour the country, in the hope that these villains may be found concealed or lurking somewhere in the neighbourhood, arsil-the more particularly as he valid be able to identify the wounded man. A more horrible act, except the murder of the late Mr. Baker, rarely fulls to the lot of a public Journalist to record, than this diabolical and nearly fatal attempt on the life of one of the most useful, impartial, and active Magistrates in the Kingdoni. Few Magistrates have conferred more lasting benefits on the country than Mr. Despard has by his zee', intrepidity, and correct judg ment. It should never be forgotten by the Government and by every honourable man, and lover of good order, that Mr. Despard brought to public justice some of the nefarious perpetrators of that never-to-be-forgotten, and horribly tragical scene—the burning of the Sheas. Judging from the friendly and cautionary letters he has lately received, we have reason to believe that this at tempt has been made on this excellent Magistrate either by some of the murderers of the Shims, or by panisans of these villains. We trust the Gentlemen of the County will take up this vile business in such a manner as will evince their horror at, and detestation of, such a crime, their respect for the laws of the country, which have been .so daringly violated in the person of one of its bravest pre servers, and their personal esteem for this upright minister of justice. If the perpetrators of this dreadful attempt at murder shall dwell In security and escape the hands of justice, where is the Magistrate that will dare to be active. We have no doubt but Government will adopt every means in its power, not only to secure Mr. Despond from the assassin. blow, but to bring to condign punishment these murderous desperadoes. The Insurrection Act, we fear, must again be adopted ; the usual winter scen e s ar e com menced; arms are yet in the hands of murderers from principle and from habit; and such restrictions as are sufficient to keep the people in their homes between sunrise and sur.sct must, we fear, be infiirced.--Clor melt' Mrald. We have received the following from a Correspondent :—" On Sunday Chief Constable Bindon, of the county Clare police, pro ' ceeded, under the orders of a Magistrate, to the lands of Abinabeg, near Glanoniera, with three mounted police, to disperse a large mob, who hail collected under the pretence of hurling. Mr. Bin don addressed them, and stated the object of his mission, re , qsesting they would retire. They immediately collected to the number of 9,000, lied commenced their attack with stones, under cover of the ditches. Having received a reinforcement of five men, the police entered tho field, and attempted to disperse the multi tude; when there was a general shout to surround the Peelers, who succeeded, : however, in arresting three of the ringleaders; but their retreat was prevented by the multitude, who forced them into a regular compass of low ground .where the stones were again poured on them, with cries to rescue the prisoners, and down with Peelers. Mr. Bindon received several severe blows, one of the police was knocked off his horse, and thiugs were now approach ing to such a desperate crisis that the most awful consequences were to be apprehended. Driven to the last resource, they were compelled to fire, and finally gained the road. None of the shuts, it is thought, proved fatal ; but one man, named Patrick Casey, was wounded, and tile party retired amidst a volley of stones.' Limerick Chronicle. COUNTY OF CAVAN—tXTRAcT or A LETTER. " William Holmes, Esq. of Dungannon, having, as receiver in a cause pending in the Court of Exchequer, obtained attachments against some of the tenants for nonpayment of rent, proceeded on the B.h inst. to Milltown, in the County of Cavan, accompanied by Npecial Bailiff's, for the purpose of executing the attachments ; and having succeeded in arresting three of the persons, was attacked by upwards of 180 people, armed with sticks and other weapons, who had been assembled at the Roman Catholic Chapel in the town of Milltown, it being Lady Day, and as such a holyday, and af. ter rescuing the prisoners, they beat Mr. Holmes and his party in a most savage manner. Mr. Holmes with the great est difficulty succeeded in tnkking his escape into • house, li after which this lawless band of ruffians attacked Mr. Hulmes's horse, and beat him most cruelly, and took him and the jaunting_ car nearly a mile off, and would, in all probebility, hays killed or disabled the horse and destroyed the car, had it not been for the in. terference of some persons by . whom they were met. Wh a t ren ders this outrage still neore daring is, that it was committed within forty yards of the Police Establishment. That very indefatigable and efficient Magistrate, Geo. Marshall Knipe, Esq., of Erin.hill, .Belturbct, before whom the informations were sworn, immediately granted warrants for the apprehension of the principals concerned in the above outrage, and expressed his determination to have the conduct of the Pollee fully investigated. A sttrement of the facts has been sent to Mr. Houlburn, and also • copy of the intiwma dons sworn, by which it appears the rescues took a valuable pistol from Mr. Holmes's party. On Sunday night, the 4th iostant. a party,ewiling themselves Rockites, attacked the house of Michael Moylan, near Rosetta. Information having been given to Constable John Malone, he and the party of police under his command, immediately pursued, They were obliged to follow them nearly seven miles into the King's County. where they succeeded in apprehending James Hennessy and Daniel Ilenneusy, who were on the next day corn. mined by the Magistrates in Petty Sessions, to abide their trial at the Assizes of Clonmel. The gang of which the Henneseys com posed a part, broke into two other boluses belonging to into named Tracy and Bennett, on the same night. SINGULAR MORTALITY.—We are informed, that on the return of the 29 Davis' Straits ships to null, eight captains and mates will have to lament the loss of their wives, all of them having died in the short space of four months.— Leeds Feign THE WORST fD MA NUFACTUAMRS BRAD** FORD AND THEIR WURILUMN. The contest between these parties is still prosecuted with undiminished vigour. The employers are endeavouring to unite more crossly in their sesociation all those of their own trade, and the men are raising contributions, hot only from persons of the same fraternity, hut from the lihouring classes generally throughout England'. In the mean time bra parties Are suffering severely—the masters from the suspension of their manufacturing concerns, and the men from the stinted allowance which they are necessarily pot upon, from the narrowness of their fund;, comp4redwith the numerous claimanta upon them. The former, indeed, have an auxiliary of a very powerful kind, in the almoit unexampled cagnatioe of their trade ; and, if in the end., they should beat the men, th e y w ill be indebted for suc cess, in a very considerable degree, to this cause. In the present instance the ptinciples of political economy seem to be inverted ; instead of the demand for stuff goods be ing increased by the diminution of the supply, the failure in the supply seems to produce a corresponaing failure in the demand ; and though Many of the principal works have been suspended now for nearly three months, these fabrics were never more plentiful, and the demand for them seldom less urgent. The cause for this phenomenon in trade is perhaps to be found in the substitution of cotton goods for stuff's, and that change is partly owing to the high price of wool. The resolution of the masters at Keighley, &c. to dis miss such of their workmen as are in the Union, or that in any way contribute to its support, has been attended with less decisive results than were anticipated. It was sup posed that the consequence would have been immediately felt by a two-fold operation ; first, that one great source of supply would be cut off from the workmen who had hi therto received liberal contributions from that quarter; and, second, that the contributors would themselves have become pensioners Upon the Union funds. This freatgun as it was considered, has been fired in vain ; nine-tenths. of the Keighley workuien continue at their work, alleging that they are unconnected with the combination. In the Halifax district the workmen are not equally pliant : many of them have avowed their attachment to and their con nexion with the union, which they refuse talbjure, and have in consequence lost their work ; but they have gene rally found other empleyment, either in the cotton trade or other branches of business, and have avoided becoming chargeable to the Union funds; so that in effect the pos ture of affairs is much less changed by the association of the i manufacturers in the Keigilley and • listlifax districts with the masters of Bradford, than might have been expected. On Monday last a meeting of the masters took place at Bradford, 'at which it was resolved to invite the Keig hley and Ilalifax manufacturers t o a meet i ng to be held on Thursday, in order to devise more effectual means for the suppression of the Union. It was also determined to pay the expenses of any legal proceedings that Might be adopted against offenders, who should be guilty of offering any vio -1 knee to prisons withdrawing ftom the Union. The meeting was accordingly held on Thursday, when it was stated that the measures hitherto adopted for the ' suppression of the Union had proved ineffectual, and that the workmen, particularly in the neighbourhood of Kelgh -1 ley, were working at the business as usual, although it was notorious that they had been attached to the Union, and it was highly probable that they were still, by covert and in direct means, affording assistance to that combination. To remedy this evil, it was proposed that the masters should require something more than a mere verbal renunciation of the Union, and time was given to them to devise means for rendering their co-operation with •their fellow manufac turers more efficient than it had been hitherto. At this , meeting Mr. Baines, of Leeds, made p communication to the effect, that a Member of Parliament, a wellwisher to both the masters and their workmen, had seen with deep regret the long protracted coi.test between bodies so essen tially interested in each other's welfare, and in order to terminate those differences, the honourable gentleman had expressed his readiness to act as mediator between the parties, in any way that they might judge expedient, well that might lead to the restoration of harmony. A similar communication was afterwards made by Mr. Baines, to the Committee of the Union Society, and it was in both cases received with very respectful attention. The meeting of the work-people was held on Monday, in I the afternoon, at Fairweather-green, but it was far less numerously attended than that hel d the preceding week. I ' Mr. Joseph Holmes having been called to the chair, Mr. Tester, the secretary, read a number Of letters from different parts of the country, but principally from the metropolis, most of them enclosing remittances, and all of them contain ing assurances of continued and increased support, and urging the workmen to a perseverance in the steady and peaceable line of conduct they had hitherto manifested. Mr. Tester intimated, that if the masters held out much longer, lie knew it to be the intention of some persons of property, prompted by feelings of humanity, to establish worsted manufactories in Bradford, for the purpose of giving employment to the workmen, and he was sure that those of them who were engaged would not leave their service to go to their old masters, even were they to give the advanced prices. Mr. T. said the quaking gentlemen of the north had asserted a falsehood, in stating that they had turned off from 30 to 40 men, for rising a subscription in aid of the Union, whereas he could prove that they had not turned off more than 14. He exhorted the workmen not to insult or molest in any way whatever, any person who might choose to leave the Union and work at the old prices. Every man should be at perfect liberty to follow his own inclivations : the cause of the Union would not be injured by a few turning in, which would be more than made up by additional turn outs. Mr. James Walworth from Keighley, addressed the meeting in a humorous speech, which our limits will not permit us to detail : the thanks of the meeting were then voted to the chairman, who, in returning thanks, advised them not to meddle with the turnips of the farmers. He understood, that the blame was laid on the lasses, if they were guilty, he advised them to behave better in future, but he was inclined to think that this was an unjust areusation, and that the lads fol lowing the example of their ancestor wished to shift the blame from their own shoulders by throwing it upon them. The meeting then dispersed.—Leeds Mercury. A meeting of Woolcombers and Weavers of Halifax and the neighbourhood, convened by public advertisement, took place on Wednesday last, on Barstow-hill, near that place ; James Greenwood in the chair; when a number of resolutions were passed, expressive of the determination of the persons assembled to abide by the Union, and not to re turn to the employment of those masters who had discharg ed them without any cause, but that of using their own money in the way that they thought best, viz. by contri buting to the support of the Union-men at Bradford. For such masters they expressed their determination not to work without an advance of wages:: hut for those who were willing to employ Union-men they would work at the pre sent prices until a general advance took place. In the mean time, the Committee were requested to draw up a statement of the advance required—showing also the differ ence of wages given by different masters. A person of the name of Crabtree began to harangue upon the abuses of go vernment, but he was reminded that this was no part of the business of that meeting, . and was ultimately required to withdraw from the hustings..-tbid. COMBINATION.--Un Tuesday last, the journeymen edge-tool-makers of this town turned out for an advance of wages. Seieral of them have since received summonses to appear before the Magistrates to-day, for leaving their work without giving a month's notice. The men state their present earnings to average from 17s. to 229. per week, and the advance they ask amounts to about 3s. extra. We hope both masters and men will meet and settle the difference amicably, as suspension of the t ra d e must be attended with great siterifices to both parties. We un derstand, the colliers in this neighbourhood are also. con tending with their employers for a rise of wages.

He stated that it wis, intended to apply • for a charter of incorporation, which the Company had every prospect of obtaining ; and they then proposed to commence their proceedings by forming an. experimental line of telegraphs between this town and Liverpool. He thought that Wye stations would be amply sufficient for the purpose, and be palculated they Would require in miginil outlay of about 2,5001., ind, reckoning every outgoing as the very highest rate, an annual expense of about 3,2001. It was intended that the company should be remunerated by a charge on the transmission of eaeh telegraphic communi cation, according to the number of signa.ii required fur that purpose. The price which wee at present contemplated was 6d. for every signal. Mr. Watson produced a letter ota four different subj , :cts, which he said, could be trar.imitted by means of eleven signals; but he conceited that, gener ally speaking, th e conimunications Which it, iroidd be thought desirable to make through the melliutu Of the tele graphs would be confided to one subject,•'and would not require more than two or three signals.

Its order to preserve secrecy in these communications, each person might previously arrange with his correspondents to make some change in the signification of the numbers ; as, for instance, by adding to each arty number agreed upon, so that the persons who transmitted the signals would have no idea of their meaning. Some conversation ensued, as to the probability of a suf ficient remuneration being obtained for the outlay and cur rent expenses of the society. On this point tome difference of opinion appeared to pr e v ai l amongst the gentlemen pre sent; but it appeared to be the opinion of all that it would be found necessary to charge a higher rate for the trans mission of communication. Finally it was agr eed to form a focal committee to correspond w ith th e Lon don committee on the subject. The meeting then separated:--Manchester Guardian. SINGULAR CASE OF INS'ANITY AND MURDER IN AMERICA. [From the Term:we Columlian.l We deem it right ti give publicity to the following narrative of facts, in relation to the conduct and condition of Colonel Joachim I). Lindsay, who la , ely killed his wife by shooting her through ti:e head with a pistol. Sonic of them we know to be correct, as stated, and the others are from the relations of reputable persons. Colonel Joachim D. Liedatty, a young gentleman almost bred up in this country, and universally esteemed an honourable, honest, indus. trims, net! exemplary man. amongst his neighbours and acquaint.. &nee.. in January last, intermarried with Miss Eleanor Phillips, of Giles county, a lady no less esteemed by all who knew her, and in all respects an equal match for him. Atter their marriage they lived together on good terms in this country, cmil March cr April, when lie muetially c , useged his deportment towards her. becam e , captious and insulting, and finally, used threats and offered violence. By the latter part of April .his depcwtment towards her became intolerable, at which time be began to imagine that many persons and his ftiends and servants had conspited to murder him, and grew extremely timid and watchful . ; so much so, that he frequently seemed strongly inclined to fly from imaginary danger, until about the first of May, when, under the influence of his imaginary dangers. he wandered from home into his neighbourhood several miles until nightfall, when after much persuasion he agreed to stay at the house of an acquaintance. He undressed himself, went to bed, and continued there until about twelve o'clock, when he arose greatly frightened ; sprung front the bed, and without dressing his body or feet, ran into the woods, a perfectly wild man. On the next morning, as soon as the manner of his escape and Candidata was known, many of the neighbours set out in search of him its the woods ; and though he was frequently seen and heard of, run ning through the neighbourhood in the undressed plight in which he escaped, he was not caught until forty-eight hours afterwards. He was at length caught by two old gentlemen, who commenced a friendly and persuasive conversation with him, and in that way de coyed him to a house, where he was secured. On the night after he was taken, in ayaroxyam of fear, he sprang front a window in the second story of his father's house, head fore most, and would inevitably have destroyed himself in the fell, had not a gentleman of unusual muscular strength, then in the room, and observing him, succeeded in getting hold of his pantaloons near the knee (his body and other leg entirely out), who hell him it , that situation until he received assistance: he was then drawn into the house again. Whilst suspended by the leg from the windoe, and his bead downwards, he made very violent effOrts with lie loiwe leg and hands to force himself loose, and before he could lee forced back into the house, his hands had to be confined. He was then brought to this place, Columbia, and put under a course of medical treatment for several days,and until the condition. of his mind was considerably improved, though far from being re stored. During this time, he was almost continually imagtning conspiracies to take away his life, and exhibited an unusual degree of ulartn—frequently attempting to escape, took but little nourish ment, and became greatly emaciated. He then left this place, under the care and observation of his friends, and went to Gilidr county, where his lady had gone, remained there a few days, ant returned with her to his residence. After he returned home, his Intellects slowly acquired strength, until about the middle of June , at which time he relapsed. On the Sunday preceding the day on. which he committed the horrible deed, he and his lady set out on a visit to Giles county, and reached the residence of Mrs. Phillips, the widowed mother of his lady, on Monday morning. On that day, he went to the house of a very respectable relation, at the dies tance of fire miles, and, after remaining there during that night, on.• the next morning he made several attempts to decoy his relation out in a squirrel hunt, with an intention to shoot hint : he maniteste4 his determination, by words, manner and artifice, so strong, that tt was most safe to avoid exposure, which he did. On the same day (Tuesday) he returned to the house of Mrs. I Phillip, where he continued until evening, when Mrs. Pnillips, a young lady, 1r cousin to Mrs Lindsay, Colonel Lindsay and hie lady, set out to visit a relation's house at the distance of a mile and, ' a half. After they had proceeded half a mile, he asked het how' far they had yet to go ? She replied, a mile. He observed, that before she would get there, she would think it the longest mile she had ever travelled. Her mother and cousin, about twenty feet its advance, hearing this dialogue, involuntarily looked Sound, but, upon discovering Colonel Lindsay and lady walking after them, very affationately, with their arms interlocked, they proceeded ot. without auspizion of harm. Ir. an instant they heard the report of a pistol, and on turning round they beheld Colonel Lindsay stand. ing noar the feet of his prostrated and expiring wife, looking verY earnestly at her, with the pistol in his hand, the contents of whi:lt he had just discharged through her head. Mrs. Phillips sereamett aloud ; he looked at her, with the pistol pointed to the body of his wife, and observed, with an expression of fiendish pleasure s "Madam, there lies your daughter—take her," threw down is letter, and ran off ; since which time, he has not been seen by any white person, though from circumstances, and the statements of negroes, it is thought by many that he has been in the neighbour. hood of his residence, but has left the country. Before the party set out on this unfortunate evening visit, Colonel Lindsay asked for the materials, and wrote the letter which be threw down by the body of the dectased. The contents ot die. letter were a number of incongruous and senseless sentences—ono of which was, " that he would as soon die sa live." After whim; the letter, and just before they act out oa the visit, Colonel Lindar was seen by sonic of the family examining the condition of hi s pistols, probably charged them, but that circumstance excited !lido or no suspicicn, on account of his having carried at all times, or' very frequently, for some time before, these very wc.p!mh to eit• able him, as he alleged, to defend himself against his imaginary danger. dpare ' y r h Th e relations nrl death, that at e I f f c n,t had ‘ n lia c en l ccrr Lindsay :y pe,r,,,,u,.. a4l ivt l e a . d .h y t:ra l b : ne st r, l oposre ser t i iih ou l s tea s t p ta - 01. induce her to return 11, nye a,n . . even assured her that her lite was in slangs but to no avail- 7 4 re persisted in declaring that she would foOrwr !vac her life thane Amgen h um.
