The lVarwickshire people backed Cart, their countryman, freely, and Captain Hans hacked Suns. A !alert ring was farmed with stakes, and Handle, from Birmingham, seconded Carl, and Toon Turner picked up Sams—Betting even. In the first ruund, which bitted lb minutes, the men hit each other until their efforts 'flayed exertion, and they reeled away without going down to get fresh wind for attack. At length Cart was knocked down by a heavy body blew. The ring was well crinrscncrl by chisel spilt. 2. This round was r untested with much ferocity, and Cart had the best of it at the commencement, by placing a heavy hit upon his adversary's left trample, which staggered him, but his nature was too good to be floured wish it—when half down, and it would have beta fair for Cart to bit him when suspended &pint the rail, be lifted him up, dropped his Geis, and retired. This act, so characteristic of an Englishman, was much applauded. In the last part of the round Sam had the best of it, and floored his man by ■ crack between the beads. Two other heavy slaughtering rounds finished the fight in 47 minutes, and the heads of the men were so contused and swollen, that their features were flattened amid buried. In the third ruined both went down in a close, and in the fourth Sams woe the fight by a blow which broke the bridge of the nose, and which hit Cart deof to time. Upon the whole, such a punishing fight bas warmly been sera. There was nu breaking away from hits fur want of ►cirece, but the men stood up and exchaaged blows as long as they were able to do au. Their weights are above 21 stone. DREADIVL SUICIDE. Yesterday morning, about half past six o'clock, a mass of genteel appearance went into the shop of Mr. Jeremiah Ash, hair-dresser in Loudon-street, Si. George's-market, &touch, and requested the loan of • razor fur is moment, 'o shave off (as he said) some disagreeable hairs that were griming on his tipper lip. Mr. Ash having frequently seen the man in his shop before, had no hesitation in lending the instrument; but at the same time offered the stranger his own services gratuitously to do the busi ness, which he positively decliard, observing, that it was a trifling service which hefleould du himself in • minute. He then took the razor in his band and approached the looking. glass, whilst Mr Ash turned round to get him the ahaving box, but instead of shaving, be pulled off his t, and inflicted a most desperate wound in his neck.— Mr. Ash ass very much terrified on advancing with the shavine•hox, to find the unfortunate man standing against the wall, bleeding profusely, and the ream. in his hand covered with blood ; he immediately grasped him by the shoulder, and aucceeded in throwing him into a chair, •nd shaking the razor from his hand; be then endeavoured to stop the hlood with a napkin, upon which the wounded mac, aware of his intention, with a sodden and desperate exertion, span from the chair, and seised the razor, which be was again shout to apply to his throat, when Mr. Ash seized his arm, and fur the mosnerit prevented him. A desperate *woggle tossed, iu the course of whirls he made several attempts to rut Mr. Ash with the weapon, who at length overcome, was obliged to save himself by miming into the hat* rotors sad locking the door. The unfortu nate %vaunt'. their drew the razor several times nears his throat, and at note of them cut the jugular vein, when the effusion of blood became so great as to suffocate him imme diately, and be dropped down dead. Mrs. Ask, who was in bed, was alarmed by the iicnfliorg, and comedown stairs in stantly—on beholding the shop covered with blood, she thought somebody had been killed, and called loudly for help, when a great mob assembled. The rause of the disturbance bring made known a surgeon was procured, but be could, or coarse, geode, MO scarier; he advised the body to be Wire to the Wellington Arma public-house, which was dune, and au the course of the day it was ascertained that the un fortunate Mall was a ruler its the King's Bench, named James Lon 4.

Edward Broadbent, a private soldier in the 90th regiment of foot, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Willem Watson, ■ verjeant of the same regi ment, by shooting him with a loaded musket, at the perish of Briglithelmstone, on the 49th of June last. This case produced comiderable interest. When the wretched culprit was put to the bar, he excited feelings in all around, very unusual on similar or engine's—pity and c 1111 l miteration. tie appeared deeply affected by a otiose of his dreadful situation, ■nd Ins whole demeenuur wag highly creditable to corsidering the nature of the crime with which he :tool charged, and the inevitable certainty of his fate. When yelled upon for his plea to the arraign ment, hr exclaimed in a pathetic manner, " I am but too guilty-1 ant guilty, and it would he only adding more guilt to my cuaircience if I were to say utlirrwi•r," Mr. J ustice PARE Ur;zral him to pleat' Not Geary, and take his trial, suggesting to him the inutility id the course lie had taken, if he expected any mercy. The Prisoner shook his head, and repeated that lie was guilty, and expected 110 mercy. Upon which his plea of Guilty was recorded. The Learned Juessig, however, again entreated him to plead Not Guilty. and requested the Com mon Serjednt, who led the prosecution, to speak with and recommend him t• retract his plea. The Coussou SERJBANT accordingly conversed with the unhappy man, mud after • great deal of peivuasiou, prevailed upon him to take his trial. The Ju►y accordingly being charged, Mr. COMMON SERJEANT (with whoffi was Mr. Norton) stated, in as abort a compass as piwsible, the case for the prosecution. It will be recollected that the Prisoner, having been put under arrest by the deceased, for some act of misconduct, on the day tuentioned in the indictment, lie was liberated to attend the evening parade in the Barrack-yard at Brightosi, and that at the moment lie got at liberty he levelled his loaded musket at the deceased, and shot him through the body. The deceased sur vived about g 0 minutes, and the Prisoner surren dered himself the moment the melancholy occur rence took place. The following witnesses were examined to prove the case. John Shannon, a private of the 90th, stated, that on the 29th of the Prisoner was confined under arrest iii the guard-house at the Brighton Barracks. IVliilst witness was in the guard-room lie saw the Pri soner pruning his lirelock. It frequently happened that wheu a soldier wanted to light his pipe, he flashed some gunpowder in the pan of his piece, to ignite sonic tinder ; but as the Prisoner did not ap pear to be going to smoke, witness laid hold of his tirelock, and asked I • whether lie was going to in jure himself? lie replied that the lirelock was his own, and lie was nut so mad as to injure himself. %Vitoria took the gun out of his hand, shook the powder out of Inc pan, and laid the piece down, at a distance of about four paces from the Prisoner. The Prisoner never touched the piece until a non commissioned officer came to take him to the evening parade, when lie took his tirelock with I Asumined by Mr. Justice Pate.—The powder must be very small to find its way through the touch-hole from the barrel of the gun into the pan, the touch-hole being very sinall. Thomas Visor. a private in the 90th, stated, that the Prisoner was put into conlissement in the guard house by the deceased, between eleven and one o'clock, on the g9th of Julie. Witness saw him in the guard-house, walking up and down, in a very agitated manner, flinging his bands about in a threatening and passionate manlier, 811(1 heard him s a y--$4 If I go to the evening parade this evening, it shall be worse fur Serjeant Watson." John Thomas, a private of the 90th, said, he had just left his barrack-room to attend the evening pa rade, on the 2911 i of June, when he saw the Prisoner coming out of the guard-room with his firelock. 11'itness was standing six or ►even yards from The deceased was standing iti front of the company, with his back towards the Peisoaer, the latter being at the distance of about three or four yards from him. IV hen the deceased was iii the act of turning round, the Prisoner raised his firelock to his shoul der, and discharged it at 1 The deceased dropped to the ground, and exclaimed, " My God ! my God ! lam shut !" The Serjetint-Major came twining out ul the guard-room, and asked, " Who was it ?" The Prisoner answered, "It was I, lam the man," and said no more, but surrendered him self into custody. Corporal James M`Cahe said, that he came lin : mediattly to the spot sfier the gust was fired, and lifted the deceased tip; he died in about 211 mi nutes. Witness took the Prisoner into custody, and in his way to the guard-room said to hint, " Are you not a terrible man for dotes; such a thing as tins ?" The Prisoner replied, " I am not, for the serjraut was always tyrannising over me, slid I was determined lie should not du it any more." Mr. 101111 C Sikock, the surgeon of the regiment, stated, that he was called to attend the deceased ; he died in 15 minutes after witness saw him. The bullet passed under the right shoulder blade in ■n oblique direction through the body, and in its pas- sage went within three inches of the tip of the heart. The deceased must have beets standing sideways, from the direction which the ball took. There was no doubt it was the cruse of his death. When each of these wittiesses were examined in chief, the prisoner, bring without Counsel, was asked if lie would put any questions to them, but every time he *bok his head in a melancholy muss tier, and said " No." Beii,g asked shot lie had to Pay in Ilia defence, lie miiilnothing, but shook his heed in like manner. Mr. holier PARK, to his charge to the Jury, solid, it was always of great itni.ortatice that the pro ceedings in cases of this description should be as public mud notorious as possible, it being much more satisfactory, fur the purposes of justice, that the grounds upon which the Court told Jury de cided should be well kuown ; and it was therefore that his Lordship was anxious that the nishappy Mari at the bur should hose the opportunity of hay. ing his Clore fairly and impartially tried, by urging lino to retract his plea of As there could he little doubt 4.f the result of the case, it would hardly be necessary to less iteccs.ary lOr him to make any observations upon a. Without waking any further comment, it would be sufficient to observe, that the crime of murder consisted in taking away the life of 'mother with malice aforethought. There could he ito other in ference drawn (rain the evidence they had just beard, than that the Prisoner was guilty of such • crime. The unhappy man at the bar seemed to have had • mind extremely sensible and irritable ; and because the deceased, in the faithful discharge of his duty, had put him under :arm, lie meditated the fatel revenge which was earn. ii ~,,, as detailed iii the evidence. The rJ• e wo. heroic tlir Jury. and !boy would dispose of it accoithog to their coo et letters. _ . • The Jury immediately fooud the pri•nrier Guilty. and he struggled with his feeling• to preserve some degree of firmness fluting the solemn iirnteeding which full.useil. _ _ Mr. Justice PARK proceeded with difficulty to discharge the melancholy duties of his (Ace, and the tide of his own feelings, greatly excited by the demeanour of the prisoner himself, frequently pa: a lyzed the power of utterance. Adverting to the prisoner's thifeigeird sen,ibility, he said he should not aggravate the distress of his mind, by enlarging upon the enormity of the crime f.r which he was :11/00 to sutler, conceiving tlv.t he was duly im preased with a consciousne-s of the dreadful sin he had committed ; but in the Issiguage of cotornirer titian and entreaty, he urged hnu to employ the few short hours left loin in this world, in devout apple cation to that tribunal f which alone he could expect mercy. Nis I,oril.hip pruGouisced the dread ful sentence, and ordered the wretched culprit for execution on Friday morning, and that his body should be delivered over to the surgeons to be atia toniixcd. The prisoner, during the Learned Judge's im pressive address to him, tells dreadfully agitated, and at the conelts‘ion he fell into the min. of the gaoler end his aiwistanti in a paroxysm of grief.

This unfortunate criminal, whose trial for the retarder of his wife was reported in our paper of the 9th, was I' aerated sin Friday, the 61h mataut, a few minutes past twelve o'clock, Over the gateway of the County Gaol, at Cainhoridge, is the presence of a vast number of spectator,. HIP beh tviuor after condemnation was eonsisteat with his awful situation, and be met his ignominious fate with firmness. His crime, as our readers may remember, was attended with circum stances of peculiar atrocity, having murdered his wife in the most deliberate manner, in order to marry a female to whom he was paying his addresses as a single man. The body, after having been suspended an hone, was re. moved from the scaffold, and WWI immediately conveyed i• • cart, accompanied by the Sheriff's ulcers and coustebley, to the Chemical Leccire.roons in the Botanical garden, where Professor Cumming had prepared his powerful gal vanic battery (which formerly belonged to Professor Ten nant), with the intention of repeatiug some of the experi ments lately described by Dr. Ere, of Glasgow, is the Jour. ual of the Royal Institution. We shall now proceed to state the result of the experi meats upon the body of Weems. E'xr. I.—thie wire was applied to a small incision in the skin of the neck over the par vagum, and the oilier to one made between the 6th sod 7th rib ; when, at each ilia charge of the battery, the chest was disturbed in a manner similar to • slight shuddering from cold • the period of Ma shadikring corresponding with the numb er of plates shuck by the operator in the last trough. Exr 2.—The par vagum was laid bare, one of the wires 'leased under it; the other was placed in contact with the diaphragm, through an intim 00000 made sleeper than the last between the 6th and 7116 rib. The contractions were evidently simmer than in the last experiment, and to all appearance confined to the same set of muscles.— Not the smallest action of the diaphragm was perceptihle. 4.—One wire was placed under the snpra-urbitary serve, the other remaining ler the par mama; at each discharge of the battery it produced considerable action of the muscles of the face, and !mire particularly ins the side to which it we. applied, though nut expressive of say of the mental affections of life; it might more properly be called a convulsive twitching. Esp. 6.—The wire being passed under the ulnae its separation from the sailisry plexus, the electric circuit was completed by bringing the oilier in cuutact with the radial nerve at the serial. 'The flexor muscles of the arm soil Amid were thrown into strong action, the arm being drawn op, and the fist closing with considerable kirce. In this ex. perimeist, the naliscular cataract's'''. were more struugly marked than in may of the preceding. Ear. 7th, consisted in placiug the wires in cootact with the !plant marrow between the 3d and 4th cm teal vertehrm and the tibial nerve, in its passage behind the inner ankle. A more extensive, though less vigorous effect followed this exhibiiinu of the galvanic iathiroce than in any of the shove-mentiosied experiments ; most of the muscles of the trunk and extremeties answered feebly the dischales of the battery. . . . . . . _ The galvanic battery used in thew , experiments, coneiseed of 220 pairs of double-six.incle plates; It was changed with dilute sulphuric and fuming smutse acid, and was i n a state of intense action. The galvanic influence was applied in the same manner as at Glasgow, by connecting the ends of the battery with the nerves to be acted upon, and run oo ioo g unc of the connecting wires over the ends of the plates in the last trough. The experineents commenced at 25 minutes pmet one, and occupied about an boor; the temperature of the body was 93 degrees; there woe no dislocation of the neck, and uu distortion of the connten.eure. The necessary )))) a were timecard by Mr. Okes, its the presence of nearly all the medical gentlemeo in Coel ho idge, of Busily members of the Uuiversity, and antral of the most respectable inhabitants of the tows and comely. From the account given by le.
