before he iris to appear kt the clambers of .Ir. Justice Best, and asked him if he thought the c' ilursement on the hock of the check was the Pro secutor's ? Ile told hum it was not; li. wife was of the some opinion. The Prisoner chewed loin an rodorreineut of the Proaromines no the hark of a hill of exchiiiiire, which he said lie believed to be the writing of Clarke.

Two signature. were then "hewn him, purporting to be the Proirecutor's: the first lie void he believed to be Clarke's signature; the second he did nut think was his writing, it was nothing I.ke it. John Goldsmith deposed that the Prisoner sent for him while he was imprunned iu Cril.l.botli Fields prison on the Bth of August; he went, and the Prisoner told him his life was at et.ke, and a•ked him would he swear that the endorsement of Clarke on the check was lois hand-writing? lie said it WIN impossible for him to swear that it was. for he had iiever seen the cheek except in the heads of Coun sel on the trial of the ectipn. No. Clarke, the prooeetator,was then eallrd. Mr. Serjaitot PELL objected to his beeme e-- swiped. on the ground that he WU an interested witness. • Mr. Justice PARK held that the objection was properly grounded. Mr. Joseph Beildington deposed, that lie accom panied the Prosecutor to Ccldbath Fields, ■here the Prisoner was confined ; he requested Clarke rot to attend at the following examination at B o w_ st►e►t office; the Prosecutor said be would nut, pro vided that there was money deposited to pay th e law expenses; the Prisoner agreed that it should he d.po•tted, on which the Prosecutor introduced the wittc-ss to the Prisoner, and he deposited with him a Bank note of 1001. and also 2.51. in Bank notes, and a bill -et a short date for 25/., and he gave an undertaking that it should be used iu the payment or the law expenses ; he gave up the money about 14 days back to the Prosecutor, and received hit undertaking. . On his crosa•ezamination he said he paid over the ISO/. to Mr. Dill, the attorney's brother. Mr. Thomas Jones, clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. !WWI and Stirling, proved that lie paid the Prisoner's check of 101. in December last in favour of the Prosecutor. The copy of the check, and the endorsement was then put in and mad. . _ . Mr. ALLEY stated that this was the case for the prosecution. The Prisoner, in his defence, read • long state ment, io which lie contended that the prosecution was not that of Clarke, but of M►. Hill, to prevent his being prosecuted fur perjury; and stated the reason he had paid the money to pay the law charges was by the advice of his friends, to get out of the hands of Mr. Hill, who had declared he would be his rain. Several witnesses were then called, who contra dicted the evidence of Mr. Hill in several points, particularly as to the body of the letter directed to Sir Richard &rine being in the hand-writing of the Prisoner, which was sworn to by Mr. Hill us being his. The person who wrote it gave evidence of his having written it. --- Turner, clerk to Isaacson, swore positively the he saw the Prosecutor endorse the check in the Prisoner's office, and that the account he hid writ ten for the Prosecutor, as between him ■nd the Prisoner, was dictated by the former, which the latter objected to as being incorrect before delivery, which lie informed the Prosecutor of. Henry Arthur, a broker, deposed, that hr was in the Prisoner's front office when the Prosecutor came into it with him ; he heard the Prisoner ask him to emforre the check; he did not pee him do it, but from the posture lie stood in, he had no dotibt but I , e did endorse it. There were shout twenty.four witnesses called who gave the Prisoner a good character for inte grity and honesty. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with his usual perspicuity, and the Jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. This most intricate ease occupied the Court • from ten o'clock in the morning to ten at night. The Counsel fur the prosecution were, Mr. Alley, M'. Curwood, and Mr. Adolphus; for the de. Pace. Mr. Serjeaut Pell, Mr. Bolland, and Mr. Platt. VAGRANTS.

STATE or THE COUNTIM From a Correspondent in the county er West. toroth, we learn that outrages of n senons nature have again commenced there. On 'Friday evening the tith instant, between seven and eight o'clock, a large and well armed perty of fellows, without disguise, entered the house of Mr.:John Belton, Demenes, Bartray of Moyceehel, near Kilbeggan, forced Mr. Belton on his knees, and while in that situation, presented • cocked piatol to his breast, and made him swear upon a prayer book, which they took off the dresser, that he gravid not sitdrry again, or put any one in the place of his last deceased wile; they then swore the versants, and a horse rider, named Kelly, who happened to be in the house, not to divulge what they had seen. mid departed saying, on leaving the how, •• You had not better bring us again, but comply with the directions given you, and yon may leave your dour open night and day, fur you will be safe." And on Thursday night, the 10th instant, •bout nine o'clock, a large party of ruffiana, also well armed, attacked two houses at Benalbet, same bloomy, and near Kilbeggsn, belonging to two poor farmers, named Bryan Scanty ■nd Patrick Maloney, broke in the doors and windows, and succeeded in robbing them of too watches, • piece of new made flannel, • piece of Prize, • piece of linsey-woolsey, and all the best articles of male and female wearing apparel in both h o u ses , to t a l amount in Moe ■bout 20/., with which they de camped, after firing three %hots (by way of triumph) when • short distance from the houses. Before they commenc.d the outrage they placed sentinels on a barn in which two of the faintly lay, and at all theavenues approaching to the housts. It is worthy of remark, that one of the fellows stationed over Scalby's eldest inn, in a room, to keep him from observing what was going on, repeatedly a►ked him •• Are you up to the times ?"

KILKENNY, OCTOBER 10. The Special Sessions under the Insurrection Act were held on Thursday at this city. A large por tion of this county has been under the operation of that unconstitutional law for six months, and the product has been—much inconvenience to innocent men, an enormous tax on latiellioldeis, and the transportation of one poor boy, the support of a helpless widowed mother, in which boy's mother's rabin two small bits of lead were found, that lie said he had picked up when the roof of the church (which adjoins the cabin) was repaired two years ago ! We shall not make a single observation on this method of governing a distressed people and a peaceablecounty, but we may remark tha', as the curfew law is in force among us, its administration could not have been intrusted to more attentive, humane, and constitutional lawyers than Joi n t s. Townsend, Esq. the King's Counsel, and Ceivuse P. Buahe, Esq. the Assistant Barrister of the county of Eilkenuy.—( Leisasfer Journal.) In recotaing, iu our last, the downfall of the greatest portion of Ethelbert's Tower, of the once magnificent monastery of St. Augustine. we rx pressed a hope that its remaining portion (the east ern side) tuight yet, ■fter having so long resisted the rude hand of time, defy that of the destroyer, and still be permitted to stand the monument of its former grandeur ; k,, it is evident, that had it been firmly joined to its connecting flanks, weight would have involved it in one common ruin. It would seen, therefore, that this flick of the tower has remained nearly in its present state for many years, rather giving support to, than 'reviving it from, its ►ately connecting angle, and hence the failure of those efforts which as yet have been used to destroy it. After hating been frustrated in the attempt at a partial demolition by ropes and other futile means, it is now contemplated to baiter it down by a piece of timber shod with iron, but in the event of the failure, then to relinquish all fur ther prosecution of the object—and it is devoutly to be wished that such may be the result,(Can ferbary Paper.)

TIIR TROPICAL ITICIh'. [Fromm Dr. Coke's a II istory of at Wed India .1 The tropical night keeps pace with the tropical day. Tbe night• sr, urieoworeoalv height and serene. The stars which spangle the ethereal vault, emit • rndia•ee which is unknown In Eseitipe,.asol gild she hemisphere with an inconceivable brilliancy. Constellations, which are invisible in England, here display their beauties, and shine through all the summer withal/I being intercepted with a shade. The asignitlides of I these stars appear to be enlarged; and many, which, through ohsltwedsig mediums, are invisible is the northern lati tudes, are here conspicuous through the purity of the air. Adore stirs of the first magnitude, which the peculiar posi tion of the Heavens conceal from she higher latitudes, are not only visible in these climes', but shine with a lustre pe reliir to themselves. The planets pot on a more resplendent appearance, and display • refulgence which is exclusively hpplieable tta the Torrid Zone. Their aspects are bolder aid Shore striking than in other climates; and their mai. mice increases as well as that of the fixed stars. They glow With a brightneis which, in this season, is sullied wills no obstruction and intermitted only by the periodical 'perdu tibas of the system. Ti increase the glory of this enchant ing serene, the moon makes her appearance, not in "clouded majesty," but in resplendent brilliancy; diffusing • light which seems to originate in native lustre. Is her presence the stars, both rfratic and fixed, are sppareutly eclipsed, and deprive of half their honours; while her light is sufficient ter 1M fransactiou of almost any barium, is the open air. me -it As lint may he read, without difficulty, by her light, and distant objects may plainly be seen. By her light the finest landscapes in nature are presented to she eye of the spectator; be gazes wish aeltniraiion and wonder on the beauties which swarm around him, and wanders into the pathless regions of fancy without satiety or disgust. At the same time the sir is tram:Veil and serene, and rontribotea greatly to heighten the g I beauties of the night. Not a single cloud hides any purtiou of the vast expanse, or inter. ►opts the contemplative mind in its pursuit of those medita tionr, which she solemnity of the scone and the millerss of the tight bad conspired to ►ake. It is • season which invites to serious thought, while it soothes the perturbations of the heaving bosom, and spreads traiirtellity through all the powers of the soul. It is • season which awakens the mind to serious reflections; and carries. the iutellectual powers beyond the horizon which ciresmarribes the scene. It is a orison calculated to convey the soul into futurity; to ante. 'Spate realities which he beyond itre grave ; to connect What is past with that which is to come, and to make the mind deeply susceptible of 'consolation or remorse. In every country Inhabited by man, the silence of sight has been esteemed ascoogrnial to Meditation; h•t though "night has been fair virtue's immemorial friend,' yet, perhaps, there is no region on the earth of which it 'can be said with more propriety, deal "the conscious moon, through every distant age, has held a lamp to wisdom." The beauty of the tropical sight, in the summer season, impasses all the powers of desc►iptive. The lustre of t►e planets teen.* to increase is propottios to that of the fixed wars; the bodies of all appear magnified; and, cos account of that appearance . , they seem ro approximate towards the earth. The brightness of Mn,., of Jupiter, and of Venus, is so tranacendant as to outshine the mwt splendid appearance that the Heavens ever presented to our view in this country. Venus, in partieslar, oteasiosally appears horned like • little moon, and her light is so tram-endow ly beautiful, as even to east • shadow from houses, trees, and other objects, which tend to offer obstruction's. And whew, to these appearances, we add the moon rising in solemn and silent grandeur to heighten She magnificent scvnery,it brightens the prospect while it expands the mind; and raises the sublime phenomena to the summit of more than earthly grandeur. There are, perhaps, bus few places on the globe to which shese liars of Homer can apply with greater exactness; shin to a iVest Indian saantei's night:— " As when she Moon, refalgest lamp df night, O'er H ' clear azure spreads her sacred light; iVbee not a breath disturbs the deep serene, Asd not a clued u'ercasts the solemn scene. Arnaud ►er throne she wield planets roll, And stars adassaber'd gild the glowing Pole, O'er she dark trees a yellower verdure abed, And tip wish silver eery mountain's head. Thee shine the wales; the rocks in prospect rise, A Hood of glory bursts from all the skies; The conscious swains, rejuieisur is the !led, Eye the blue souls, and bless the modal light."
