EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. A• extraordinary circumstance occurred in the forenoon of Thursday seonight, at Messrs. Russell and Co.'s wag. too-office, in Exeter, which excited considerable alarm iu the neighbourhood. Some chat■ belonging to the manager of the Exeter t►eatre were left there to be for warded to Weymouth, preparatory to which their weight was about to be ascertained, &media' to the usual prac tice. The warebonseinso who was superinteoding the weighing of one of the citrate suddenly observed a smoke issue from it, and bad scarcely time to inform his employers of the ci►cnmetsnce, when an explosion, accompanied with • bis•iog noise, like that of a wheel.roetet, took place militia, which forced open one side of the chest. This oressionici considerable alarm, and to guard agsinet any latent danger, the chest was removed into the s ; bat so much was the rumour spread, and so magnified by repetition, that two fre.engines were promptly brought to the premiers. The • chest, on being opened, was fogad to rounds theatrical Messes, and a preparation for making what is tensted• " Greek fire," which by friction, or some other cause, bad token Are, and entirely destroyed the other contents of the chest, which were of eensidersble value. This wras the extent of the accident; but it is extremely feriae's.. that ii occurred in the daytime, when persons were ea the epot ; bad it happened at night, or on the road to its destina tion, the event might have bees very serious. Friday being the anniversary of the fatal 16th of August, there were several assemblages of people on Si. Peter's-field, in commemoration of the dread ful events of that day. In the evening there was a procession from the Union Rooms to the field, where a hymn suitable to the occasion was sung; after which the procession returned to the Union Rooms. A great number of persons were collected to witness the ceremony.—(Mmeh ester (uardimg.) We gave last week an account of a desperate gang of horse-stealers who have lately infested the comet) , of Surrey, where they attacked and nearly murdered two labouring tnen. The gang after leaving Surrey repaired to Enfield, where they stole ' a Wood mare belonging to Lord CADOGAN, and another the property of another gentleman. Three of the gang have been taken at Aylesbury. The captain is a notorious character, uud lately returned from transportation. IRELAND. AVANT 17.

It is a glorifying circumstance, that while the pa. nalties of the grossly insulted laws are falling with tremendous severity on the heads of numbers of un• fortunate beings in other parts of the kingdom, whose depravity urged them to the perpetration of crimes of the deepest die, there was not a single capital conviction here—a pleasing proof of the compara tively peaceable state of our county, and of the ad. vantages which secrue from superior civilization.— (Derry Journal. j COUNTY OF DOWN ASSIZES, Austin S. SEDUCTION. THOMAS DALY V. alitolol MEMILY SCHUTT. This we an action brought by Plaintiff against Defendant, for seduction of Plaintiff's daughter by Defendant, and compentation fur los. of service., befo►e Ba►on M'CLELLAWD. Mr. Home es opened the case, and stated the na tore of the action to the Jury, and continued his statement to the following effect Here is my client, the unfortunate Plaintiff, and there is the Defendant before you ; the Plaintiff resides in Kit. lough, and deals in carrying linen from this country to England ; he lost his wife iu 1815, and she left him with six surviving children, three girls and three boys. The witness, who will be produced to you, is the eldest of the girls, end ■t the time of the seduction she was not 17 years of age. The Plain tiff. in the course of his business, left Killough in February last, and was absent from that to the 31st March, and oo his return home learned, to his great grief, that the Defendant had, daring his absence, accomplished the ruin of his eldest daughter ; he (the Defending had managed to get introduced to her, and frequently paid attention to her, while she had the care of her brothers and sisters. His fre quently passing her father's house attracted her attention, and she was, after some time, induced to go out to walk with him. Upon the 23d of March last he got her into leis house, when there was no other person in it ; he gave her punch, which lie had previously prepared for the occasion, and of which she took only a small wine glass full, and he artery/reds gave her lozenges similarly pre pared. She was induced to stay until what he had given her produced its effect ; she was first seised with trembling and shivering, and afterwards with stupefaction. Counsel here observed, that he was instructed to state, what he was sorry for, but that there was no doubt some deleterious mixture had been put in the punch, and also in the lozenges which he gave her after she had taken the punch. When the Defendant had reduced the unfortunate victim to this stele of stupefaction, he partly forced her up stairs, under the pretence that she should have a bed-chamber to herself, and forced himself in along with her, and effected his purpose. Coun sel here commented ly on the manner in which Defendant had accomplished the ruin of the Plaintiff. Mr. Holmes again referred to his instruc- Cons, and stated, that the Defendant had been a Lieutenant in the British navy, and was at present an officer of the water-guard ; but, observed the Learned Gentleman. the meritorious and honourable cha racter of a British seaman is soot to be discerned by giving drugs to an unfortunate girl to effect her ruin. 1 cannot bring myself to suppose or believe that he ever was on officer in that respectable ser vice, but was one of those amphibious chsructers which by some accident are occasionally obtruded upon our naval and military departments. In toe evening, when her aunt, Mrs. Greensn, went to look for her, Defendant said, upon his honour she was not there ; and when site went back again a se cond time he threatened her with • pistol ; when she told her Husband of her suspicions, and wished to raise the neighbourhood, be told her it would be wrong to do so upon suspicion, but he would go himself and ascertain whether she was there or not. It had been intimated to Counsel that the defence to be set up was to prove she was equally willing to be seduced, as lie was to be the seducer ; but it would be proved to them in evidence that she has never allowed him again to come into her company, though he often attempted it ; sod when he could not succeed lie endeavoured to defame her charac ter, and publicly stated that she had behaved im prope►ly previous t• her connexion with him. She was of irreproachable character and conduct for merly, sod if he can skew that she was of that loose character he bad stated, I challenge him to prove it. if she is proved to be so, treat her as such; but if site has not been so, I cull upon you as melt, as fathers, and as brothers, to give the only com pensation now in your power to her injured parent ; and if the Defendant can clear himself of what I have been compelled to accuse him, in the execu tion of my duty, in God's name let him do so." Catharine Daly examined—Was 17 years old in April last ; her mother died about eight years 'ego ; has two sisters and three brothers ; one of the brothers ie older than witness ; her father resides in Killough, he is * linen merchant. and exports linen and other articles to England ; witness ma nages the family; knows a person of the name of Serrutt, he has not been long in Killough, only about a year and • half ; he is an officer io the water-guard ; met him first on the 19th March ; witness's father was then in England on business ; met him between six sod seven in the evening, as witness wus coming from her uncle's; he said it was a cold evening for walking, aud asked witness if she often walked in the evening; she said she did not ; he then asked witness if she would walk out after • little ; witness made no reply ; she was after wards in his company, and had seen him repeatedly passing by her father's door and windows; received a nicrsrge from him, aud met him on the 23d March, 'Do a Saturday !vetting ; remained with hint aboot half an hour in the s t ree t, walking backwards and forwards, &boot 'seven o'clock in the evening; he told witness that for four months he had been wait. ing for an opportunity to speak to her, and had often written letters to her, but could not get them conveyed, and wanted witness to go with him on the following evening to his 'house, and told her he loved her ; met him at his relined in the street. and he prevailed upon witness to go to his house ; they went to the house 'between seven andlight o'clock, no other person was in the house to witness's know ledge; he introduced putchs turd insisted on wit. ness's taking some; she took a Ismail wine glass full ; he pot a glass to his lip's, and when witness re fused to take any more, he threw it in the Bre, and said no person should make punch for him for the (store; he slid not drink any punch to Witness's knowledte; he then offered witness lotenges, and she took some; continued a good while together; she ate some of the lozenges; and Defendant ask ed witness if she had any objections to become Mrs. Serratt ; witness made no reply, hut remained with him till nevi twelve o'clock, when he laid violent hands upon witness, and she im plored him to desist, and he did so ; witness felt a trembling all over, and was in a state of stupefac tion ; he asked her several times logo up stairs, and she would not; at length he forced her up into • bed-room, and ben to undress her ; witness re sisted, and he said she was in his power. and need make no resistance ; he said he would give witness a room to herself, hot did not; he then forced her to go to bed, and lay in bed with her all night.

Mr. Scam's addressed the Jury for the Defen dant, in a speech of upwards of an hour, hut of which oar limits will ouly permit the following out. line:—That of •II cares that can cotne,before a Court or Jury, cases of *eduction require to be most minutely examined. He had no iu►uuctions to throw any obloquy on this unfortunate ;pi-I'a charm , (aster, turthe'r than what she herself had detailed. She says she is only 11 years of age ; and it was for the Jury to consider whether she did not appear older. The Defendant is an officer of the Water. guard, and had been ib the Navy, and was now • Lieutenant on half•pay. It was impossible that any man who had borne his Majesty's commission, fought his country's battle., and •ssisttd to raise her to the pinnacle of glory she has attained, would o► could be guilty of what has been so basely insinuated in his Learned Ytiestd'S instructions. What has Beets done was venial, compared to what was attributed. The offence was mutual; end she, even by tter own account l was led •• nothing loath." Could they believe that she arm so de- Seely decoyed by drugs put into punch, •nd by lozenges similarly medicated ? Could they for a moment suppose, that had the Defendant been ac lusted by the motives ascribed to him, he wood,' have given her drugs, which, in place of exciting desire, would stupify and render her inanimate. sod leave her like a corpse, to he sacrificed ? In despite of the ►evere, and he would almost say, unwarrant able tirades and inuendoea of Mr. Holmes against his client, he was bound to tell them boldly and fearlessly, that not only the Defendant, but any man whatever, hiving a desire of bringing her to hie house and to his bed, would rather endeavour to raise the spirits and excite desires, than to adminis ter such potions as hid been alluded to; and were the Jury now to he told that they were deleterious? They must and would counteract those very desires he wished to gratify. It ors against reason and against nature, to suppose that any man, much less ■n officer of the British navy, could be so base, and so vile. as to mix up a potion which would deaden the feelings of his victim. In the case before them there was no necessity whatever for such means being resorted to; she was coming enough—she was not only that but she was more— for, alter only one or two interviews, and more dors not appear in evidence, she sends a message to him to meet her in her father's garden; he comes, by her desire, and, in consequence of the interruption by the servant maid, they make a new assignation to meet at the battery, where they spend half sn hour in private. Do you, or can you believe, that they went to the battery merely to hive • little con versation, and that the half hour, as she sap, was spent in total idleness ? Well, let it be so ; they left it, and made an appointment for the neat even ing ; she was there first, completely on the alert, and, after sustaining some irritation and disappoint ment, she goes from the battery to the salt-pans, and from the salt-pans she sent her feithful cousin for him to Rogan's, where he was drinking. Stilt for a man, who, perhaps, was in • state of it:toxic*. tion, and without such menage she likely might not have seen him. His blood was inflamed, he received the message, and he obeyed the summoi a. Why he mast have been more or less than man had he refused. Counsel, after warmly animadve►ting on the improbability of drugs having been adminis tered, and the mutual concurrence of the parties to the offence, closed his speech by en appeal to th.r Jury, if they found for the not to visit his client with heavy damages, SJ, it was not to be expected that a Lieutenant on half.psy could sus tain them. The Learned JUDOS recapitulated the evidence, and in a most luminous ret►ospect thereof, obaervrd, that as the Defendant had called no witnesses, the Jury were bound to believe that in despite of the statement of the Counsel, and the insinuations con tained therein, the Plaintiff's character was irre proachable, and that had there been any of that lightness, a corning willingness on her part, the Counsel and Jury would not have been troubled with the matter; for, in that case, their mutual inclinations would have been gratified in a diffe rent manner, and carried on by frequent but shorter meetings than a whole night. It appear ed In hint that the Defendant had created an interest in the bosom of this young creature, which was not at all unaccountable to any one acquainted with the female heart ; that an officer, either naval or military, was, and must be, a con siderable object of attraction in a village, and it they believed the evidence (which his Lordship saw no reason to doubt) hr (the Defendant) certainly had, under the pretence of affection, taken a most base and unworthy advantageof this unfortunate girl in the absence of her only protector. Site had lost her ntotber at ■n early age, and before she could have received the benefit of maternal instruction, which might, and would have guarded her against making such hasty and unguarded assignations, or of listening to, or putting her faith in any man upon so slight an acquaintance. His Lordship here ex patiated with much eloquence and feeling on the want of proper education to young female., and the precarious situation in which they stood, who were deprived of their mother so early as the Plain tiff, and subject to the occasional absence of fatherly protection, and concluded by leaving the question of damages entirely to the Jury. Verdict for Plaintiff-100i. damages, and 6d. costs. The Heresies has arrived from Buenos Ayres, with very distressing accounts of the state of trade there, and on the South-west coast of America. The letters and papers by her are only a few days later than the advice' by previous arrivals ; but its this short interval information had been obtained of the total failure of some very extensive speculations to Lima and its dependencies. The ship Night ingale, with eight hundred bolts of dry goods, had, among others, returned from thence, finding that the markets were completely glutted twit British goods. It nerd hardly be added, that at Buenos Ayres, under these circumstences. there was no ch:u►ce of a productive rule being etireted. The KiNG's moments of absence from his usual places of residence have been accompanied by the death of some important personage. He was on a visit in Lancashire when Mr. Fox died; at Sunburn, iu Suffolk, when the Princess CHARLOTTE died; at Holyhead, on his way to Dublin, when the Qtims died ; and on his way to Edinburgh when the Marquis of LONDONDERRY died. So great is the opposition between the coach pro. prietors of Oxford, that passengers have lately born taken from thence to Cambridge for the low price of 5•.; and on Friday evening a bill was posted in a window_..
