From the nature the evidence produced in the course of the no . capital conviction had been anticipated, , circumstance happened on the very day finch the ATTORNEY Gamiest. was to make reply, which probably effected • great al teration in the mind of the Jury. Each Juryman received letters containing it printed list of the . with these words in hand-writing at the bottom, Blood will have 61(44." Their wives received similar letters, all of which were sent by the post. Artoaw aT-Gatv BRA L did Dot fail to avail him of this circumstance, to argue that it was proof positive of the existence of an immense coalition and conspiracy, and though he did not charge the send - of the letters on the accused, be represented the undoubted act of 'their accomplices, and demanded that the letters be deposited in the hands f justice, together with three which he and his colleagues had received, and which contained the I " Dagger" and " Death," to form the sub of a legal inqoiry. M. BARTHE, the 'Chief (locate for the Accused, expressed the deep indignatiou -which they felt et the iniquitous manoeuvre thus planned for their ruin, and de clared that nothing but a hostile hand could have eodesvoured to revolt the Jury against them.

Whin it is re& collected how much the yeomanry of the country, and those depending on them, suffered last winter from the short prices of agricultural produce, it is painful to contemplate what their future situation will be, with a More than overage crop, and the ex isting prices less by half than those which they ob tained last autumn. The accounts froai-Ireland stale, that • large proportion of the soundest pert of last year's corn remains yet undiaposed of, and that she present crops promise to be more than usually productive. There is no reason, however, to con strue this indication of happiness into an omen of permanent prosperity, after witnessing, last winter and spring, in that unhappy country, an anomaly .which was never known to exist in any other, namely—direful famine raging in the midst of avowed plenty. The pnblic being divided in opi. nion with respect to the causes which produced this lamentable state its both countries, cannot, for that very reason, agree in the choice or application of a suitable remedy. The discovery of any remedy has already baffled the wisdom and experience of the ablest men in the kingdom. The various plans which were proposed in the House of Com Tons last Session, had not even the merit of speciousness to recommend them for adoption. They were pro. posed, amply discossed, their futility exposed, and immediately withdrawn. The object of introducing them at all was, evidently, to shew the country gen tleman that his interests were not neglected— " Show his ryes, and grieve his beast— Come like shadows, so depart." This is, however, • subject in which the interest and the existence of the nation is so much involved, that public men ought to apply themselves to it with more earnestness. Inattention to it cannot be excused on the plea of foreign war or internal com motion. The country, probably, never enjoyed more universal domestic tranquillity. Our foreign relations have not been known for centuries to be established on a securer or more amicable footing. Nothing exists in either to divert the attention of the Government and the people from prosecuting with success plans of internal improvement. The fume acquired by British valour. and by British enterprise, in every part of the globe, may be flat. tering and intoxicating, for a while, but it avails little unless supported by wisdom at home. Parni aunt psis arena, nisi est conciliators demi. Whether this anomalous state of our affairs is to be attribut ed chiefly and solely to the pressure arising from over-taxstion, as many persuade themselves, or to the excess of agricultural produce, over necessary con• sumption, according to the doctrine of others, is an inquiry intsivlsieh we cannot enter at present. Both those manes have, no doubt, their respective shares in producing the calamities of the wield. turalists. It is evident that any reduction of taxa tion that might be made at present by the thrifti est political economists, consistently with the main tenance of reasonable and moderate establishments, could not afford any immediate relief from agri cultural &stress ; while, besides eight millions of poor rates, thirty-two millions. year must be raised for paying the interest of the national debt. Much, however, may be accomplished by convert ing to the production of other commodities a por tion of the land now usually cultivated with wheat. The corn markets of England have been kept down by the inundation of Irish produce. The corn grown in England would scarcely support its own population. The object, then, to be accomplished is, to divert to other purposes besides the produc tion of wheat, some part of the Irish soil, whose richness is peculiarly •fitted for the growth of flax, hemp, barley, &c. The City of London Commit tee, whose exertions, aided by the benevolent pub. lic, have been so successful in rescuing from star vation the Irish peasantry, impressed with this consideration, sent over, early in the spring, to the South of Ireland, a large quantity of flax-seed. This example ought to be acted upon more gene rally. It is a fact worthy of observation, that the northern counties of Ireland, where the linen mann. facture is the chief employment, were entirely exempt from that distress which overspread the southern and western counties. The people are, besides, in general, better educated, and more cleanly in their habits, as well as more independent in principle.—(Bristol Mirror./ Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK and CAMBIUMS visited his MaJILSTT yesterday.

FABLE The Earl of Avadevat, on ping out early l• lila to lona, agrees with his friend, Sir Sisson Saveall (who has been hi. benefactor) that should be return fortunate, his so., Lord Scribbleton, shall be united to Lydia, Sir Simon's daughter, and the opera commences at the period when the 'miss peo ple are to be introduced to each other for the Seat time. Lord Beribbleton who has writteu two R o m an ce s sed er th e titles of "Tin Deluded Wilt," sad Deserted Childreo,“ sod is • great traveller in search of incidents to furnish his Ware productions, determines to visit the mantis. of his intended father-in-law, Sir Simms who is famed for his lioapitality, is order that he easy anob:terved discover with what sort of young lady be is to be united. His father, the nail, how ever, diupprovisg concealment, laronos Rif simile of the Intended deception, and the Baosset, after troportiag the secret to his daughter, determines on giving Lord Scribbieton • mutt beillonst reception, sad lights up his massing for that purpose. His Lordship in the mean time, through some of hit romantic rintisielaeste, is detained on the road, and mistaken fog • biilswayman, and • Captain Baggier, who is journeying tw • *ea Port to meet his wife end children, fuses his way, and knocks at Sir Simon's gate, where he is re ceived with all the hon o urs let ea d e d f or rd S. on • sop panto. that be is that Nobleman la disguise; aid when be speaks of his absent wife and chafing, is supposed to mesa merely the titles of the favourite Romances written by Lord S. and on his Lordship's bring brotight is custody to Sir Simon's, he is locked in a cellar till the arrival of his father, the Earl, elucidates the mistakes which led to his esaise meat. Amelia, the wire of the Captaia, is with her two boys shipwrecked oa the coast, mid preserved through the brave busfasity of Shark, • repentant ruffian of former bud habits, who tries by present good wisdomt to redeem past guilt, and after rescuing the lady from the ferocious avarice of dm vii. lain, who inferst the toast, to make property of this vessels Wrecked os it, and afterwards from robbers is a mood wear Sir Sigma's, brings hit , safely to the Baronet's home, where she unexpectedly meets her busbsod, and joins is the user 'talent of the Grimily ore the adjustment of Lord Scribbleion's self-occasioned eontretempts. . .

The shipwreck, and preservation of the lady, Is suppeaed to oreopy the hour of noon; sad in the third act the night adventures of the forest and mansion finishes the opera. The other incidents, Jur., ef which arise from the characters of a viilsinous landlord, Grampus; au Irish servant, Patrick; and Baptiste, Easels valet to Lord Scribbtetoo, who with two country bailiffs, the wreckers, and servants, form the remainder of the Drastettr Ferree.. Our readers will perceive from the above That there is no dearth of adventure in this piece, and ea it bears upon its " head and front" the name of romance, the occurrences with which they are pre. sented are not to be viewed wtth cold and critical severity. Lord Seribbleims ' the Quixotic hero, i s exactly the character which serves to display Mr. LISTON'S abilities to the best advantage. The absurd predisposition to convert matters of ordinary importance into circumstances fraught with the most eventful consequences. and the easy assumption of magnanimous assurance to meet the threatened ca lamity, were hit off with his usual success. He seemed to be possessed with the true mania of au thorship, anti quite seniiible of the additional lustre which a title should confer upon his literary produc tions. Miss PATON appeared with great eclat as 1 ydia Salted/. -She was loudly encored in an air of Italian composition, and also in a Scotch ballad, which the bills announce to have been arranged by herself. The letter, indeed, was sung with such a delightful blending of simplicity and scient.fic power, that a violent contest arose from a demand for its repetition, which was at length carried by the majority, who were by no means temperate in expressing their satisfaction. The recitative begin ning with Genius of Freedom, bid thy ions advance !" was also given with great animation ; and where the author allowed her scope, she displayed comic powers of • superior order. Mr. TERRY'S Shark was characterised by that bold a n d man l y feeling to which lie is able to give such vivid expres sion. The other performers exerted themselves with favourable effect. Mrs. JONES, as Lary, and the French valet, Baptiste (Mr, %V. WEST), were very amusing. The piece was received with de served approbation, and will doubtless advance in public favour. Some merriment was excited at the conclusion of the play : Mr. TERRY and Mr. LISTON, without perceiving each other, both stepped forward to an nounce the second performance of the opera ; but at lengih they bowed low, and withdrew at upon site doors of the stage. After a short delay, Mr. Lisrox again came lorward, and executed the tart amidst the plaudits of • very crowded audience. There has been a very plentiful crop of cran berries this season iti many parts of Cumberland ; several thousand quarts have been sold from one halfpenoy to one farthing per quart, which were carried to the south, and disposed of to great advantage. Good geese are now selling to the farmers its this neighbourhood, and for the Scotch market, at from 4s. to 2s. 3d. each ; one goose dealer from Bew castle has collected nearly 1,000 geese, with which he is now proceeding to Edinburgh.—(Curlisie Joined.)

It might be in the recollection of the Court. that rr► the last Session a stage coachman, who bad been convicted before • Magistrate for racing his coach against another, which made him come in contact with the Carriage of a gentleman, by which means it was apse, and the life of the gentleman eudana gered, had appealed from that conviction, and on the hearing of the appeal it was quashed, on accoorit of the non-attendance of a witness whose evidence supported the conviction on the hearing before else Magistrate. That witness had been regularly sub• pcettard to attend the Sessions on the appeal ; there fore what he had to ask of the Court was, that they would punish the witness for the contempt of Court by fine or imprisonment. Mr. Corave, the Chairman, doubted whether the Court had the jurisdiction. Mr. Attotentts contended that it had. Chief Justice Abbot, sitting as the Chairman was, at the Old Bailey, without hesitation, ordered the pro prietur of • Sunday newspaper to pay a fine of 5001. for a contempt of Court : the question was after. wards argued in the Exchequer Chamber, and the order was confirmed by the unanimous opinion of the twelve Judges. The CH&SIKAW—" In that case the Court had made an order that a publication should not take place until a certain time; and, in the face of that order, the proprietor of the paper did publish. Here there was no previous order ; beside., the pe nalty for not attending is expressed in the body of the subpoena, which is 1001. You can bring your action for the recovery of it. Can you state any came in which • similar application was ever made to the Court 1" Mr. ADOLPHUS said he believed there were such cases, but he was not prepared to state them; he would look for them in the evening, and, if he found them, he would renew his application to-morrow. BRUTAL ♦SSAULT. Ebenezer Hughes was indicted for assaultiog Henrietta Humphries, on the 4th of July last. It appeared from the evidence that the Prosecu trix was a 'Servant out of place, and as she was gain through Red Lion-square, about ten o'clock on the night laid in the indictment, she was accosted by the Defendant in a familiar manner, which she repulsed ; he afterwards caught hold of her by the arm, which she with difficulty disengaged from him, sod asked him what he meant ; on which be knocked her down, and kicked her in an improper place; some gentlemen who were passing interfered. and had the Defendant taken to the watch-house. The Prosecotrix was obliged to be attended by • medical man for some weeks afterwards. The Jury found the Defendant Guilty. The CHAlitmAm postponed passing the judgment of the Court on him until to-morro*, to give the Prosecutrix an opportunity of ascertaining tie amount of the surgeon's bill for attending on her. Was. Drake, an elderly man, was indicted for *masking and taking improper liberties with Su sanna Williams, the wife of John Williams. Mrs. Williams, an interesting looking young wo anen, with • child in her arms, stated, that afloat silt o'clock on the evening of the bth of July abe was passing by the Defendant's home, in King street, Westminster, when she saw s bill on the window for lodgings to let. She knocked at the door, and asked to see the apartments; thwiDefen dant took her up stairs to the first fluor; she had her baby and • huddle in her arms. He admired the child, and paid he wished he was the father of it ; he then kissed her ; she could not prevent him on account of her arms being engaged : he put his hand into her bosom, and attempted to take further libertiss. She cried out, but was so much incensed with his conduct, she did not know whether she called loud or not : she got down stairs as fast es she could, and returned home. She immediately told the woman with whom she lodged of the cir cumstance, and they went and informed her hus band's mother of it, who advised her not to !mo tion it that eight to her husband, fearing he would personally revenge it. - She told her husband of it on the following day, and he got • warrant foi the Defendant. The Jury returned a verdict of Gni/in, sod tie Chairman sentenced hint to pay a fine of 404 with liberty to speak to the Prosecutrix. • •'t The Defendant, in a very loud voice andl. hereut manner, declared it was a conspiracy,. Or although he had a house he had not • 41111141 n the world, he would go to prison before he would either pay thy fine or speak to the Prosecntrix. He was then removed from the bar in custody. Philip Codd, EN. a captain in the army, Ives indicted for assaulting Samuel Cozens. It appeared that the Prosecutor and the Defend ant occupied adjoining houses in Ormond -street. Kensington, that the Prosecutor's wife took in washing, and that the Prosecutor kept pigs and a dog, and that the Defendant kept chickens sad ducks for his amusement, and th.it the dog sod the poultry did not agree. The Prosecutor bed also sons, who amused themselves with the quarrels of the dog and the ducks about the offals that were thrown from the Defendant's house to the letter. On one of these occasions the Defendant spoke harshly to the boys, on which the Prosecutor warm ly interposed, and was answered by a volley of blows from the Defendant.
