reepeetable men too, as they are called, may be bad for asking. \% hat occasion therefore is there to be so chary, so very particular as to the conduct and character of these persons ? Why take it for granted, vrima facie, that the Police are always right, and the people always wrong? And when a gross offence is committed by that body, where is the sense of moving heaven and earth to save them from the consequences of their transgressions ? We , have always been advocates for the principle of the present Constabulary. We think, in the dream staa‘ces of -Ireland, and in the present state of so cicty in this country, that a Constabulary is ghee-' lately necessary for the conservation of the public pence. But in making thi4 admission, we must say that the discipline of the Police has been shamefully relaxed, and that it would conduce more effectually to preserve the peace and satisfy the minds of the people, if the individuals of whom it is composed considered themselves, and were considered by the people,as under a rigid and equal ada,inistration of justice. Neither party would in such a case, after a short lapse of time, and a few salutary examples, look upon each other as enemies." Now, though if a Policeman were hanged his place may be readily supplied, and ten thousand Policemen may always be had for the asking, we su'pect the lesson taught the body by hanging one of their number would he any thing but sa lutary in the present state of the country. It is admitted that in Tipperary the law can only be executed through the instrumentality of the Po lice—that the Police anti people are natural ene mies. Till we have in Tipperary the people in terested in the preservation of order, all who execute the law must be odious to them. How is it possible, in a country in which a combina tion exists against the landlords, and where the chief employment of the Police is the executing of distresses, ejectments, &te a that they should not be hateful to the people? We are no ad vocates for this state of things. On the con trary, we contend now, as we have all along contended, that the Legislature should interpose between the landlords and the people, by the en actment of a Poor Rate, in order that the ex cessive competition for land may be prevented, and the landlord, or others possessing beneficial interests in the land, be driven to mea sures for preventing the growth of beg gars. But in the meantime the Police, who are entrioted with the execution of the law, must he protectefl in the execution of their very disa greeable duty. The hanging a policeman, who merely discharged his duty, would, HO doubt, teach other policemen to be on better terms with the peasantry. To hang a man in the Pre ventive Service, now and then, would be very agreeable to the smugglers, and would also tend to produce a better understanding between the 1-milcglers and the Preventive Service-men. Wlteie a policeman has grossly misconducted himself, the Government ought, DO doubt, to bring him to punishment ; but in all cases where the officers of the police approve of their con duct, it would be the height of madness in a county like Tipperary, were Government to lend itself to proceedings instituted against them for acting as well as they could in such affairs as that of Borriseo'-kane. We admit to the fullest extent the difficulty of dealing with a population like that of Tipperary. But if we have any knowledge of the character of people in the stage of civilization in which the peasantry are, they are not to be coaxed into good order. It is very well in the Reverend Mr. Spain to wish it to he believed that the peace of the country de penile, on him. We shall believe this, when we hear theta ti&cr can be charmed from his prey by ..caresse s.—lbid. The Lisbon Papers, which arrived yesterday tea the 22d ult , say nothing about the expedi tion t o T e rceira, though the following extracts from our correspondent's letter make it evident that the Government had received accounts of its disastrous result. This studied silence may probe-lily be considered as the strongest expres sion of Court alarm. The preparations of the armament were so ostentatiously proclaimed, the anticipations of victory were pronounced so in fallible, and the menaces of extermination against the poor Constitutionalists were so unblushingly avowed, that the announcement of defeat must aggravate the feeling of calamity by the shame of Imiebied arrogance. The teturned of the shat feted vessels to the Tagus, after ;caving the trocos, whom they carried, prisoners at Terceira, would be a galling evidence to the Usurper that his authority is still disputed, end might lead to aone renewed attempt at commotion in the ca pital. This, at least, seems to be the expectation of our correspondent ; but. it does not appear to strike him, that, without beuefitting the cause of fleedom, the feeling of exultation which it would produce among the oppressed might lead to an aggravation of their oppression. Oaf former occasion, when a rumour was spread that Don . I .lliguel was to be stripped of his power, and expelled from his throne, by an expedition from ngland, the only effect that it had was to awaken a more cruel jealousy among his partisans, to cram his prisons with additional victims, and to heighten the tortures of those already in chains. It seems evident that his Government, however hateful and oppressive, is more than a match fur the unaided diode of a disorganized party, ivhose chief leaders are in prison or in exile ; and that partial insurrections, without aome assistance from Brazil, would lead only to a useless effu sion of human blood. Unless something more is done than appears now to be in preparation, even the gallant affair of Terceira may turn out to be only a barren trophy of patriotic intrepi dity and military skill. Though that island were as impregnable as Gibraltar, and posseaaed internal resources which would enable it to laugh at a continued blockade, the efforts of its brave garrison would be useless for the liberation of their countrymen on the continent, if abandoned by the father of their young Queen, who has hitherto done nothing to aid them. It is la mentable to think of the present depression of eo good a cause ; but it cannot be dissembled, that the departure of the young Queen from Europe, anal the disposition of some Counts to renew their former relations with Portugal, have thrown a gloom over the prospects of the faithful and honourable men who have staked their all for their legitimate Sovereign, and their national charter. The late partial success in a distant island, unless followed by an immediate rising at Lisbon, is no counterbalance to these unfor tunate circumstances. As the Courts which withdrew their Ambassadors front the person of the Usurper profissed their resolution to take no farther steps in his family quarrel, no active interference can be expected from them, nor can even - this display of their diseatisfac tion be continued for ever. A nation cannot always be excommunicated ; and other nations, consulting their own interests, must renew their intercourse with the Government of Portugal, into whatever hands it may fall. If diplomatic agents are necessary for the protection of trade, and the maintenance of business relations with a country under a legitimate sovereign, they- are as necessary with the same country under a ruler whose reign began in usur pation. Even Buonaparte was acknowledged by all the Governments of Europe —our own among the rest—before he was two years an Emperor, though nobody could deny his cha racter of usurper. When on this subject, we may mention that a rumour prevailed on Satur day, that Lord Strangfcrd was about to set out on a mission to Lisbon. To this report we can not give credit, even though we were convinced that the Ministry were disposed forthwith to end our present anomalous relations with the Portu guese Government. His Lordship, from the . rank to which he is raised, and the diplomatic posts which lie has held, cannot accept of this mission but as full Ambassador; and having great confidence in the economical professions of the Noble Duke at the head of the Government, we cannot believe that such a wanton expense as a Lisbon embassy can be again incurred. We never had any 'Minister but one of the second order at the Court of Lisbon until the return of the late King John from Brazil; and surely Don Miguel does not deserve an additional charge of several thousands a year to purge the usurpa tion, of which we had so much reason to complain. " LISBON, AUG. 22.—1 t is now 26 days since Miguel's expedition sailed from St. Michael's against Terceira, and though Government has received de spatches 12 days later by vessels arrived in eight days, nothing has been published. All that could be learned is, that the expedition arrived before Terceira on the 26th of July,—that on the 30th it drew up in line before Villa da Praia, and that up to the Btb, when it was lust spoken to by one of those vessels, no attack had been attempted. The reason alleged was, that more small boats for the landing w ere wanting ! But when it was well known that above , ;0 large open boats from St. Mi chael's. followed the expedition, besides the mune rcus boats belonging to the squadron, it is obvious that Admiral Prego, the Commander-in-Chief, could not be retarded in his operation by a deficiency of the means of landing. " Many and different are the reports that circulate daily about the successful and unsuccessful attacks upon Terceira, but as I cannot trust their source, 1 shall abstain from stating Ahem. What leaves no doubt is, the concern arid importance attached by both parties to the fate of that island ; but by . the sullenness of the Niguelites, and their silence, when hut a few weeks ago they were all swelled with ideas of easy conquest, it may be derived that they have altered their opinion about it. In fact, if the expedition had been successful, it would have been known long ago. However, all doubts will be re moved before long, as by the end of this month the mist of the Azores are no longer tenable. The shock ing (-Get that the ineffective return hereof the expe - - - (boon would produce against Miguel, is in part colr] ter acted hy the news of the change of Ministry in France, which the Miguelites hail as their salvation, declar ing this change to be entirely the work of their friends, for the Russians and Turks are nothing in the world in comparison to them and their Sultan Miguel. Be it as it may, there is no doubt that this Holy King, notwithstanding his election by Cortes of his own mabing and selection, is already acknowledged by the Jesuits, and so far it would not be at all to be wondered at that the new Flo:ltch Ministry, which belongs to its order, should soon obey its dictate.-- The fact is, that a great deputation of Jesuits is ar rived here from Madrid, under the presidency cf Father Joseph Delvaux, to acknowledge, compli ment, and assist Miguel. They are most hand somely treated, by order of the usurper, in the con vent of Riafoles. This monkish deputation con sists of eight—six fathers, and two lay-brothers, all French,—the most Jesuitical set that can be wit nessed. Their language is nothing but honey; their words are soft, and with their hands on their hearts, nothing can be more striking and curious than these impostors, who mingle consta itly the sacred name of Heaven, with that of his Majesty King Don Miguel. " The illness and death of the worthy old Princess Donna Maria Benedieta have caused a ces sation in Court intrigues. During the whole week nothing has transpired about the war declared against the Intendant-General of Police, who, on the other hand, appears to have transacted with the Queen and her gang, as he has stopped short in the release of ptisoners : however, his kindness towards all those who apply to him, is such a contrast with the language and system of Berate, his predecessor, that petitioners feel much less their sufferings. But his hithience in stopping persecutions does not go be yond the suburbs of this metropolis, for everywhere else the magistrates act in direct contradiction to bin', or at least to the system lie observes here,and which we are inclined to think is in him general for the whole kingdom. In the provinces the same disorders continue, but they ate not of so salt guieary a character, the Royal volunteers beginning to dread the menacing silence of the people to their vociferations and acts of brutal violence ; nay, the instances of motley having been refused by poor common country labourers for them to assist the vo litnteers in their atrocities, have been almast gene rid, as is. their answer, ' We may have been dell, and taken in once, but not a second time, by such; lows as you are.' " Don Miguel has been returning even to his for. , mer rufliaely associates. Two of them, one the ce- leheated Vtrissimo, serjeant of the police, and as sassin of the Marquisof Louie, and anotherscoundrel called Caiero, otithe return of Miguel, obtained' from him special commissions to purse and impristin all his enemies ; and in consequence these t wo, wretches have been the two greatest scourges of hu manity, going about day and night imprisoning people according to their fancy. As every one ex pected, they were to be liberally remunerated by Miguel for such execrable services, but never to the wept now publicly avowed, for he has appointed them hotb fientlemen of his Royal Chamber, in permanent service to his Roya person; that is to say, that they are lodged at the palace, and are in constant atterdance on him. Peohably these fel lows, !Ike Berber fires, will receive the gift of the (.reign miler:, when Miguel is acknowledged. " General 13eeesford, who so cleverly organized the military system in Portugal, and uprooted the shameful old doses that exis:ed when he took the aornmend of the Portuguese army, cannot be much flattered with the last decree of Miguel, by which Lord I3ereaford's aysttm is brought to the around at once, and the old one reeeetablished, taking away the numbers of the regiments, and giving them the names of their usual gar iion. “ A, few days ago came into our harbour the fine American whaler-ship, prize to the blockading squa dron off Terceira. fihe !same in, it is true, under American colours, but entieely ;penned by Portu guese, and with twenty-four soldiers besides the crew, whilst the Amerir a r crew remains in prison at St. Uiehaers. The American Consul, who is a much more eaerzptic Yankee than the Charge d'Affaires, has taken up the claim of the vessel and crew, as well as of damages; isna to this day not the least answer has been given him. The ship lies before the marine arsenal, where only Govern ment ships a.ad prizes are allowed to anchor."—Tinzes. The partial and imp9rfect administration of justice in Ireland had long been 4 fertile source 9f declamation to what are called the i; liberal Jourilas" in that country. We so far agreed with them as 4; express an opinion that the sitvage habits and sanguinaiy fends of the pea santry wgre in some measure encouragea and kept alive by t.lla favouritism which Magistrates in many places exercisc l 4 too wards the ringleaders of particular factions, or the timidity that made them connive at local outrages, which a firm ' performance of their ditty would have effectually repressed. The " Liberal Journals," however, that used to descant so vehemently upon the necessity of a pure anti impartial admilliqration of justice, have recently given the most extraor dinary example that modern times afford of an audacious attempt to pervert the due course of justice, and make the majesty of the law submit to the degrading influence of popular intimida tion. The trials of the policemen for firing on the infuriated mob that asssailed them with desperate violence, while in the discharge of . their duty at Borrisokeen, exemplify the - sort of justice which the " liberal Journals" in Ireland wish to have enforced. It is, in fact, that sort of justice which dispenses with the consideration of evidence—the dignified and dispassionate exercise of the functions of a Judge and Jury, and the sanctity of an oath. 'I he Journals in question, with a rapidity of decision worthy the era of the French Revolu tion, returned a verdict of guilty, and pro nounced sentence of death upon the unfortunate culprits before the Jury was impanelied. The old maxim of a man being presumed innocent until declared guilty by the verdict of a Jury be longs to the " wisdom of our ancestors," which has been sufficiently sneered at by modern " philosophers" to be entitled to nothing but contempt. The Liberal and Popish Journals having decided upon the fate of the policemen, nothing remained for the Court to do than to register their decree with all the formalities of justice. Lest the Court and Jury should not be such passive instruments in carrying into operation the sovereign will of the newspapers as they were required to be, the Press worked the passions of the multitude to the highest pitch of excitement, and public vengeance was openly threatened if the rage for blood should be disappointed of victims. When the first trials ended in acquittal the friends of " liberalisin," so !far from assuming a decent con cealment of their mortification, gave open ex pression to the bitterness of their feelings. One Dublin newspaper, which particularly distin guished itself in the savage outcry for judicial murder, went so far as to say, that perhaps the people might be appeased by the conviction of Ledger. This was the individual who was tried for shooting some of the mob at the funeral of one of their slain companions, they attacked his house, attempted to break into it, and, if he had wanted the courage and the means necessary to self-defence, would have buried him in its ruins. niat man was put twice, or, we believe, thrice upon his trial, and each time acquitted. The Jury believed, from the whole of the evi dence, that he had killed his assailants under those circumstances which constitutes what the law calls "justifiable homicide," which negatives all presumption of guilt. Notwithstanding his repeated acquittals, he was still designated as a murderer by the Press, and further mischief was threatened if he should venture to return to his home ! Now, for our own part, we care not whether the men on trial were Potestants or Roman Catholics—this is not a question of politics or religion, but one of mere justice. If the Protestant Press had cried out in the same way as the Popish Press (lid for the blood of men on trial for their lives, we would have felt and expressed the same horror that we now experience at such a neflirious attempt to destroy the right which every man has to a fair trial. Of all modes of human destruc tion that by judicial assassination is the worst, and of the most pernicious example. When a man falls by the dagger of private revenge the individual only perishes ; but when he is mur dered under the forms of law great principles are destroyed, the most sacred rights are placed in peril, the security of every man is shaken. What matters it whether a despot or a mob intimi date a Court of Justice, and order the forms of law to be subservient to the unreasoning passion of revenge ? The injustice is the same, the mischief to society as great, the danger of the precedent as alarming, whether justice be prosti tuted to gratify the sanguinary appetite of a Jef freys on the Bench, or an infuriated populace shouting a la lanterne.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUCAR.-The demand for Sugar was general and ex tensive last week; the Market prices were firm, and gene rally the sellers obtained the rates they demanded, which gives the Market the appearance of being a shade higher; the holders continue very firm, and several of the im porters refuse to sell at the present currency; the estimated sales last week were 4,200 hhds. and trs. ; estimated sales this day 800 hhds. and trs. Stock of Sugar in London and St. Katharine's Docks, 4,944 Mids. 345 trs. 12,852 bags, 4:789 boxes. Total delivery of Sugar from the three Docks, 3,801 hhds. and trs. 5,650 bags. The Refined Market continues without adequate supplies of low goods, and they are still contracted for, forward delivery at nearly the present currency; the finer export qualities are more in - demand, and very considerable sales are reported at the advance of 6d. to Is. per cwt. ; the fine qualities for the bOme consumption have also been in more demand, and the stock is much reduced. Molasses rather lower. ForsErcl; SUGARS.—There was considerable interest excited last week by the public sale of the only parcel of white Havannah Sugar in this Market; it consisted of 1,060 chests, the good sold at 48s. 6d. a 495: 6d., mid dling 465. a 48s. ; 146 chests damaged sold so low as 375. a 445. ; in yellow no public or private purchases were :reported ; the stork is about 9,000 chests. In Brazil Sugars there were no sales; the inquiries after good strong white and strong brown continued, but no such parcels are offering; our stock consisting of soft Sugars, which are not in djmand. EAST INDIA SUGAR..—This day by public sale 2.453 bags Mauritius, iteornmon parcel ; Sugars 465. a 485., rather Inner; other gialities unvaried.

The Go vet nmeni cemtrael; for 50,000 galls., which was taken on Friday at Is . 9 d., appears to have little effect; the price is the same as the previous contract, and we think the market since rather more firm.

Take the climate of Italy, the mountain scenery of Wales, the fertility of England,— combine these, and you have Van Dieman's Land. Of fruits and other productions of - the earth, there is a constant succession, for in this place there is no winter, unless about two months of rain and wind in June and July may deserve the name of that season. All fruit, grain, and vegetables, have a finer flavour, and grow to much greater perfection, than in England. I think, if Dr. Gall had examined the cranium of the world, he would have discovered the bump of philo• progenitiveness on this spot ; for posi tively, cattle, sheep, kangaroos, hogs, dogs, children, and other animals, increase so fast as to become a nuisance. The cattle brought by the early settlers strayed away and have bred among the mountains. The stock of timber is most beautiful, and apparently inexhaustible. Pine, oak, stringy bark, peppermint-wattle, cedar, gum wood, rose-wood, and light wood, abound in trees of majestic growth inconceivable to an Englishman. The heaths, wild-flowers, and fruits, are exquisitely delicate and delightful. The air is impregnated with the perfumes of odoriferous plants. The peppermint, which gives a cinnamon scent, the camphor plant, musk plant, geraniums, myrtles, and honey suckles, grow spontaneously to the size of trees. There is only one native wild beast, a small kind of panther, which is timid, and avoids the ap proach of man. The most 'formidable animals are of the insect and reptile tribes. Of the ta rantula spider, as large as a walnut in the body, I have destroyed many in the sitting-rooms; these, with the horrible centipedes, arc very poisonous. There are 16 species of snakes of deadly venom. Cultivation and industry will remove these an noyances. From the plenty of horned cattle, their prices are lower at Hobart TOM') than at Smithfield, according to the last quotations in the London Lawspapers that have come out : you shall judge—a live ox, or a cow and calf, may be had for W. sterling ; good fat sheep alive, are from 2s. 6d. to ss. a head ; pigs, just now, are dear, 6d. per lb. ; kangaroos, which all the frequenters of the Zoological Garden, in the Regent's Park, may not know is equal to veni son, any body may have for the shooting. I must add of butchers' meat, that beef and mutton are finer flavoured than in England, which may he ascribed to the rich and odoriferous herbage the animals feed upon, and to the state of repose they uninterruptedly enjoy. Flour is lid. to lid. per lb., which is deemed a fair average price, neither cheap nor dear. Potatoes are ss. a cwt., and beauties they are. Peaches are a penny a dozen ; and apples are in such quantities that they lie and rot. I wish you could see and en joy your old friend 's garden, at New Town ; the trees are breaking down with fruit of every kind ; there are not half hands enough to pluck it, cr mouths to eat it. Grapes are fine and abundant, but as yet not much culti vated. We have capital French wines very cheap. Good Burgundy at 4s. 6d. per gallon. Flops grow luxuriantly, and malt is begun to be made. Of fish, you may readily catch almost every known and delicious kind in any of the noble bays which abound in this country, or buy them in the town for a mere trifle. They are of all sizes from the whale to the minnow. There are no Game Laws ; the possession of a gun is the only qualification, and your ability to walk and take good aim the only certificates required for shooting, when, where, and what you please. We have eagles, hawks, and almost every variety of the feathered race. Wild ducks are fine and fat, and amazingly numerous. They abound in the extensive rushy lagoons. Poultry is plentiful, and all birds thrive well. I was struck with amazement by the improvement in colour of the domestic kinds, such as fowls and pigeons. In the woods, the parrots and parroquets are social, and almost tame. I have had at one time fifty flying around me, sparkling in the sun-beams like precious gems. Of that l i creature with which you and I arc more Inti mately acquainted,thmeaont,hewre jet t ave here two spe cies The for ;aroenienu"c'ill'itetire same as in England ; if any thing, less social. The white subdivides into the free settler, who migrates hither as I do, from the law of necessity—the pressure of cir cumstances in the mother-country ; and the con vict, to whom a more stern necessity forbids a home in his native land. The convict popula tion are all well fed, well clothed, very indolent, and very miserable—trading, cheating, canting, lying, praying, swearing, drinking, dissipating ; being every thing but what they might be in this land of abundance—virtuous and happy. My friend, you see no want here, for there is none of those pallid, care-worn, anxious faces, that looked upon me from every corner and street in London. There is no misery but what results from idleness, debauchery, or unwarrantable spe culation. Plenty abounds in Van Dieman's Land, because nature governs and administers to man in spite of himself. Misery and want pre vail in England, because man would govern na ture by enactments. The black population is not very numerous, but utterly insensible to the blessings of civilization. They are such arrant idiots as to prefer nakedness in a climate where clothes are not requisite, to being incased with woollens proffered to them in exchange for liberty ; and they prefer a life of ease and inde pendence to one of labour and restraint. The whites, wisely disgusted by such brutal folly, ex press their difference of opinion by arguing upon them from the mouth of the musket, and the blacks acknowledge these appeals to their under standing by spearing the whites at all convenient opportunities; the controversy will not terminate, until one colour has extinguished the other. The blacks have great muscular strength, and are what you and I should imagine to be the most deformed and ugly of the human species ; they go in herds, but from all that can be col lected, they have no chiefs, nor any idea of a form of government ; young ones have been taken and brought up in families, but at puberty they have invariably returned to the woods. What we heard in England concerning the re formation of convicts in this colony was—fudge. They are as profligate and idle as the thieves and vagabonds of the United Kingdom. All that I can observe or learn upon the subject amounts to this :—the temptation to crime is lessened by the comparative absence of want ; its commission is rendered more difficult by local regulations ; the punishments are more dread fully severe, and more certainly inflicted ; and hence, as I conceive, it is that robberies and such offences are less frequent than in England. To those who will not be at the pains of select ; ing their associations, the pulation is a draw ! back upon the abundance of this beautiful di ' mate ; to those who will, a settlement here is easy. It is a country in which farmers and men PRINTED and PUBLISHED of handicraft trades must succeed, and in which OFFICE, 112, it is impossible for any honest man to starve wh is willing and able to work. As far as in you lies, let your country friend 9 know that the surplus honest labourers, who 'have wives and families of sons and daughters, if they can be got out, will certainly succeed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 8. Robert Fearman was indicted for assaulting a Mrs. Lilley, with intent to commit a rape. The prosecutrix was the wife of a hairdresser, and lived next door to the defendant, who carried on the business of a butcher and milkman. She went to his house early on the morning in question to buy some milk, and the defendant pressed her to pur chase some meat which he showed her. She said she would go and consult her husband, and went away for that purpose. On her return the defendant invited her into a back room, and upon her declin ing to go, he forced her into it, threw her into a a chair, and took a gross liberty with her person, saying at the same time he should like to take omit still grosser. The prosecutrix resisted him, and threatened to tell her husband, on which she got away. The defendant denied acting in the manner itn-. puted to him, and asked if it was possible be would attempt to commit such an offence upon his neigh" hour's wife, inside an open shop, where. he was ex posed to detection by any person who might enter it 2, The CHAIRMAN left the question of probability to the Jury; who returned a verdict of Not Guilty. George Caudle was indicted for an assault u pon John Bird Wearing. The prosecutor, who is a sworn broker and op praiser, was employed by the defendant's landlord to distrain on his premi&!s for rent. The defendant resisted the execution of the warrant, and collected a mob of weavers outside the house, who called out to him to turn out the broker, or kill him. The de• ; fendant shut the front door to prevent the prose!. cutor getting away, upon which the latter got out at the back door and went for assistance. On his return the defendant struck him a violent blow on the breast. He succeeded, however, in taking awl a part of the distrained goods, the remainder having been carried off by the defendant. Although the persons who collected outside the house were for the most part weavers, the defendant himself was not a• weaver, but a marble paper-stainer. On the part of the defendant, several witnesses• came forward to swear that they did not s ee hits strike the prosecutor; but it did not appear that. they had witnessed the whole of the transaction. The Jury, after some hesitation, returned 3 verdict of Not Guilty. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT-GLOUCESTER, SErr. 5. ROE, DEM. HART, ESQ., V. WYNNE, ESQ. This was an action of ejectment, by which 0 0 - lessor of the plaintiff sought to establish his claim to the freehold of the soil of a considerable tract 0 4 land in the county of Denbigh. The property in question consists of extensive sheep-walks over S' barren mountainous part of the county of Denbigh,' and has been some time in dispute, the ques tion having been tried twice before—once at Shrews' bury, and once at Ruthin. The Court was engaged with the trial of this cage: five days, when a verdict was found for the defendant. The trial finished about five o'clock this afteracroo: (Monday.) Upwards of sixty Welsh witnesses for the lessor of the plaintiff arrived here on Saturday last, and were quartered at the Booth-hall. On the p a rt of the defendant about 50 were billetted at the Bell Inn. This formidable retinue of the contending parties almost filled the Court, and some of those who appeared by their habiliments only fresh cau ght (though somewhat old in the horn), presented s grotesque appearance. The general move that took place about their usual dinner hour, showed then not unmindful of the creature comforts, tiotwitk standing the novelty of the scene; but it is only jos' tice to state thut their egress and regress wets marked by the most decorous slowness and soleor nity, the brigade extending in orderly time through the spacious avenues of the Shire Hall to the respev; tive inns, with all the gravity that the distinction 0" a strange people in a strange land could afford. CHESTER CIRCUIT-CPIESTER, &Err. 7. William Pollitt, (22), Thomas Wyatt (19), Irts,; Wyatt (20), and limy Wyatt (21), were charge d the first-named with cutting and stabbing James Burgess, and the others with aiding and abetting.' The prosecutor lives at Bradbury, and on the 24 411 ! of August went with his brother into the employ:° Mr. Jesse Howard, a cotton-spinner, at StockpOr 4 from which the prisoners had turned out for an jo" crease of wages. On the evening of that day thel left work half an hour earlier than the regular tiMei at the request of the manager of the works, wb° feared an attack upon them by the refractory spin' ners. The prosecutor saw a man, who appeared ° if he was watching them run into a public-house! ! After they had got a short distance, they looke back and saw a number of men following them from the public-house. The prisoners were amongst the vi v number, and one of them came up and a s k e d he worked for Jesse Howard, and what he evi l him? The prosecutor told him, and then they ' l n fell on him and his brother. The prosecutor ran jo t ,' a house opposite, and Henry and William WyattP 9 lowed him. William 'Wyatt called to the owner of th e house, " - your eyes, will you harbour Jena Howard's knobsti c ks ?" Prosecutor said he woe' s go out if they would let him quietly. Thief consented, and just as he got to the door, Pollitt struck him over the right eye with a shall knife. The blood spouted out from his eye, until others fell on him, saying, " - his eyeid c " him ; he's nothing but a knobstick." The blows be received nearly closed his left eye. The Jurylfound the whole of the prisoners Guip) 4 and the Learned Judge immediately passed the awfu l sentence of death upon Pollitt, telling him that 0e 5 circumstances of the part of the country from he came, rendered it imperative that he should ll' executed as a warning to others, and bidding h i ° riot to entertain the slightest hope of mercy. _A The Wyatts were sentenced to be transport ed for life.
