There will be exposed to Sale by Public Roup, within the Royal Exchange Coffeehouse, Edinburgh, on Win- NESDAY the 10th of June, 1829, at Two o'clock afternoon, THE LANDS and ESTATE of LID DAL-BANK, belonging to the sequestrated estate of Walter Armstrong, merchant in Newcastleton, includ ing the Farms of Lawaton, Greene, and Langraw, in the parish of Castleton, and county of Roxburgh, And computed to contain little short of 1109 Imperial Acres. The Pasture Lands are well known to feed a superior stock, and set readily. The Mansion-house of Liddalbank (which was built by William Oliver, Esq. of Dinlabyre, late Sheriff of the county, the former proprietor, for his own residence) is a modern, handsome, and commodious building, beautifully situated on a lawn and on the banks of the Liddel, and commanding one of the most picturesque views in the south of Scotland. It is of imposing appearance and in excellent repair, distant about 10 miles from Langholm, 10 from Long town, about 18 from Carlisle, and the turnpike road from Liddesdale to Carlisle runs through the Estate. The Gardens, which extend close to the margin of the river, have a considerable extent of Hued wall, and are well stocked with fruit trees ; and there are suitable offices. The Plantations on the Estate are of some extent and thriving. A considerable revenue has been derived, for some years past, from a Colliery on the Estate, which is still worked to advantage ; and the lands contain abundance of limestone. The Estate being almost completely surrounded by the Duke of Buccleuch's preserves is peculiarly favourable for game of all kinds, hares, partridges, woodcock, and hlack game ; and the Liddel, which is an excellent fishing stream, forms the southern boundary of the Estate for two or three miles. The public burdens are moderate, and there is an heritable right to the teinds, which were valued in 1774, at an inconsiderable sum. A large proportion of the price may be allowed to lie upon the security of the lands at four per cent. if wished. The lands will be exposed at the upset price of 26,000/., being upwards of 1,200/. less than the estimated value upon a recent survey by Mr. Thomas Lawrie, Land Va luator, Edinburgh, and less than twenty-five years' pur chase ; and if not sold together, they will then be exposed in the three following lots, via.:— Lot Ist, LIDDALBANK, with the Mansion-house and Parks, and the Farm of Langraw, presently occupied by Mr. John Scott, and computed to contain 156 Imperial acres or thereby, at the upset price of 6,300/. Lot 2d, Will consist of the FAR:II of GREENA, as presently possessed by Mr. James Wilson, with the ad dition of a part of Lawston, estimated at about 50 acres, in all about 230 acres..—Upset price 5,000/. Lot 3d, Will consist of the FARM of LAWSTON, presently possessed by Mr. William Graham, excepting that part laid into Lot 2d. This lot contains about 720 acres.—Upset price 14,7001. Mr. James Wilson, tenant at Greena, will sliew the lands ; and application may be made to Mr. John Elliot, writer, Hawick, Trustee; Messrs. Tweedie and Graham, W.S. ; or to Robert White, W.S, 42, Great King-street, Edinburgh, in whose bands the Title-deeds may be seen. Edinburgh, 26th March, 1829.

Some of the migratory birds approach much nearer to London than is generally imagined. The cuckoo and wood-pigeon are heard occasionally in Ken sington-gardens. The nightingale approaches also much nearer to London than has been commonly supposed. I heard it in melodious song at seven o'clock in the morning, in the wood near Hornsey-wood-house, May 10, 1826, which is, I believe, the nearest approach to St. Paul's it has been for some time known to make. It is also heard at Hackney and Mile-end. I have also heard it regularly for some years past in a garden near the turnpike-gate on the road leading from London to Greenwich, a short dis tance from the third mile -stone from London-bridge. This charming bird may also be heard, during the season, in Greenwich Park, particularly in the gardens adjoining Montagu-house ; but never, I believe, on its lofty trees. The nightingale prefers copses and bushes to trees; I the cuckoo, on the contrary, prefers bees, and of these the elm, from which it most probably obtains its food. The nightingale is also common at Lee and Lewis ham, Forest-hill, Sydenham, and Penae-wood ; in all these places, except Hackney and Mile-end,l have mysel f often heard it, and in the day-time. Thos e wbo are par tial to the singing of bilds generally, will find the morn ing, from four to nine o'clock, the most favorable time for 'bearing them..—Jennii/ges Ornithologia. • LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1829.

The case at the county Down assizes, in which Mr. O'CoNNELL was specially engaged, was decided, after an inve tigation of three days, in favour of the plaintiff, Mr. O'CoNNELL.'s client. It appeared that an eccentric old gentleman, named BLAcKwoon, adopted John O'REIL LY., the plaintiff, in whose favour he had made a will, in 1819, leaving him an extensive property, and 3,0001. in cash. PuitxsroNE 13Lacxwoon, who claimed to be au illegitimate nephew, carried him off to his house, refusing the plaintiff all access to him, when another will was drawn in favour of the defendant, dated in 1824. The question was, which was the true will ? The jury, after the p - otracted investigation mentioned, found that the will of 181.9 was the last will of BLACKWOOD. MURDERS.-1t is this day our melancholy duty to record the perpetration of two as foul and atrocious murders as ever signalised the annals of crime in this un fortunate country. On Saturday night two men, named TIMOTHY NEILE and WALTER BOURSE, were placed as bailiffs on the premises of a respectable farmer, named MURPHY, n ear El ton , i n t h e county o f Li mer i c k, w h ere the landlord, M r . C LEARY , l a id on th e distress. On Monday mo rn i ng the ill-fated men were missing from the barn where th e y s l ept , mar k s o f bl oo d were visible in thi s building, and on closer search, part of the straw was found perfectly saturated with human blood. Suspicion of course grew stronger, the search was followed up, and after mi nutely traversing the neighbourhood, the bodies of the two victims were found imbedded in the bank of a rivulet, about a quarter of a mile from the house, both shockingly mangled and disfigured. When the dreadful intelligence arrived in this city, Tuomas P. VoKEs, Esq., chief magistrate of police, accompanied by surgeon Fitarixt.ix, jun., immediately repaired to the scene to investigate the circumstances of these horrible murders. Mr. JAMES BENNETT, Coroner, attended, and an inquest was held, several witnesses appeared, the bodies of the keepers were minutely examined by Dr. FRANKLIN, and the result was a verdict of wilful murder agaii:st certain persons, three of whom are already committed as acces sories to the crime. We are happy to learn that circum stances have collie to Mr. VORES'S knowledge which en courage a well-grounded hope that the perpetrators wili be traced, and suffer the punishment due to such heinous guilt. The bodies presented a most horrifying spectacle of barbarity ; strangulation by ropes appears to have been first resorted to, and their heads were then literally cleft asunder, prpbably by hatchets.--/rish Paper. PRICE D. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, APRIL 18. WESTMEATH V. WESTMEATH. This was originally a cause of restitution of conjugal rights promoted in the Consistory Court of London by the Marquis of Westmeath against the Marchioness of Westmeath. It came before the Judge of that Court, Sir Christopher Robinson, in 1825, who, after having heard it argued t?uring four terms, pronounced an interlocutory decree in 1826, assigning the Marchioness to return home to her husband, and restore to him conjugal rights, inas much as she had f tiled in proof of her allegations of cruelty and adultery. From this decree the Marchioness appealed to the Arches Court of Canterbury. 'The cause came on for hearing before Sir John Nicholl in February, 1827, who, having heard the arguments on both sides, pro nounced for the appeal, and decreed the Marchioneat of Westmeath from bed, board, and cohabitation, or, to use the technical phrase, a mensa et thoro with the Marquis, and condemned him in the costs of the appeal, as well as these in the first instance, except so much as was incurred in the charge of adultery. From this sentence an appeal was made by the Marquis to the High Court of Delegates, which came on to be heard on the 13th instant before Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Justice Park, of the Common Pleas, Baron Garrew, Drs. Arnold, Coote, Burnaby, Daubeny, Dodson, and Pickard. The respondent's case was first gone into, and Sir Charles Wetherell, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Adam, and Dr. Adams were successively heard in suuport of the judgment. The King's Advocate-General, Mr. Denman, Dr. Phillimore, and Mr. Broderick for the appellant. The following evidence was recited during the argument, being extracts from letters written by the Mat chioness of Westmeath to the Marquis in 1817 : "My dear Nus, * * * * -* I'll give you a few instances of your attachment to me :—You first took me away from all my friends, and shut me up in an obscure corner of the world, without horses or servants.— In the bitter winter of 1813-14 I was in a room not pa pered, sashes rotten, with child very ill, not allowed any thing but green wood for fiting, because turf was 2s. a kish instead of Is. When my child was 12 hours in the world, you told me you would be if you would give 25 guineas a year to a nurse,—why the could not I nurse her myself; though the doctor told you that I was unable. Three weeks after the child was to be disinhe rited, and the property settled on You took pos session of my pin -money; you swore that you would turn me out of doors if I insisted on having it ; you beat me, and endeavoured to place a pimp's daughter as my own maid. While I was undergoing all these privations, for want of money, you could find money for a prostitute.— You believed her word when she did you the honour of saddling herself and her children upon you, saying they were yours. You lived three years with me in constant deceit ; and when your nurse's impertinence made it im possible to conceal the whole any longer, you bound your self by all that was sacred that there should be an end of the business. Last year you broke your solemn word and honour, and now you dare tell me that you never thought of any person but me. " * " Your affectionate, " NA." "My dear Nus, " * Many thanks for your parcel, and board and wages money.— * " If I should die, I hope you will, for the last time, take my advice, and, if you marry, not think of doing so unless to some woman with plenty of ready mo ney. Very good sort of women are to be found although they have fortunes; and nothing, you may depend upon it, enables a man to do himself justice in this world, or live comfortably at home, unless he has plenty of money, and spends it usefully and properly. * t* * "Yoiir loving, " NA." Sarah Mackenzie, housekeeper to Lady Westmeath, fre quently witnessed..quarrels among them. Heard him call Lady Westmeath a --, and that he would kirk her to h-; . he used to swear at her frequently in French. ‘Vitness saw marks of violence on Lady West meath's breast, which turned black, blue, and every colour, from his having beaten her. She heard Lady Westmeath cry " Murder :" once in her bed-room. She ran in and prevented him from strikinc , her. Lord Westmeath said, " Emily, you have provoked me to do it, but come back to bed, and not strike you again." Lady Westmeath was warm-tempered and affectionate, but not violent-tempered ; used to say that he gave to his two illegitimate children what he should give to her's. Lady Westmeath was obliged to cut up her body linen to make clothes for the child ; was one winter without firing or money to buy it. Lady Glengall was in the habit of seeing the parties fre quently at Paris and London previous to 1817. She never knew of any quarrel between them ; never knew of Lord Westmeath's using violent or insulting language to wards Lady Westmeath ; on the contrary, in all that she saw, he appeared to be a most devoted, kind, and affec tionate husband ; he treated his wife with more uniform kindness and devoted attachment than she ever saw evinced by a Luiband. When at Paris, Lady Westmeath used to go out to parties every night exclusively, Lord Westmeath being then unwell through an inflammation in the eyes. The Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury, mother of Lady Westmeath, never `knew of the Marquis of West meath treating his wife with cruelty or harshness, or to use insulting language towards her, but he had always manifested affectionate kindness and tenderness towards her. The behaviour of the Marchioness towards him was by no means kind. She saw a violent quarrel between them once, when Lady Westmeath threatened to institute proceedings against the Marquis in the Ecclesiastical Court. Witness knelt down, begging of her daughter nut to make themselves the talk of the whole town. She thought they were both in fault. The conduct of Lady Westmeath, was very provoking. On behalf of the appellant it was contended, that the judgment of Sir John Nicholl was contrary to the princi ple on which such cases had been hitherto decided. That it was not competent for Lady Westmeath, after having forgiven her husband his former conduct, to take advan tage of it in three yews afterwards, on account of some high words (having lived with him in the mean time on affectionate terms), and that all her own friends were op posed to the separation, conceiving her to be more in fault than Lord Westmeath. A dictum of Lord Eldon's, on the case being argued in the House of Lords, was cited to this effect :—" That he had considerable doubts respecting the soundness of Sir John Niel.)Ws judgment, and that he thought that in the Court of Delegates the case might be so far reconsidered as to sustain the decree 'of Sir Christopher Robinson." Mr. Justice Panic thought it very improper m Lor;! Eldon to say any thing on the subject; the case was im portant enough in having Sir Christopher Robinson and Sir John Nicholl opposed to each other, without introduc. ing the extra-judicial opinion of any other person. When the ewe was before the Lord ChancePor, Sir Charles Wetherell appeared for Lord Westmeath, when (it was now represented) he had said, " that Sir John Nicholl should be impeached for such a partial judgment." As he was now supporting the judgment, this excited con siderable laughter in Court. On behalf of the Marchioness it was contended, that her condonation of the Marquis's cruelty was only conditional ; that the parties had executed a deed in 1817, to the effect that she should have a separate income in case that she should again experience ill-usage from him ; that he bad kicked her in the side when she was far gone with - child, and that after having made the most solemn pledge of good behaviour towards her, he a few days afterwards renewed his violence, which evinced an unconquerable temper. The COURT. was occupied from ten to four o'clock from Monday to Thursday inclusive, in hearing the arguments on both sides. It did not sit on Friday. On Saturday Sir C. Wrruuarra. and Dr. LUSHINCTON were heard in reply, when the Judges, having deliberated for an hour and a quarter, affirmed the decree of the Arohni Court, They disagreed, but by what hiajority was, carried we could not learn. It is of 134110 duty to record another in stamp cathc murder of a wife by the hand of her hue band. On Saturday morning, about ten o'clock, PETER, DUNCAN, a nerson who had retired upon a small capita', during the absence of the servant-girl, put an end to Mrs. DuNcAres life, by first knocking her down with an are, and then cutting her throat with a penknife, The hor rible manner 4; which this murder was perpetrated, as well as his previous demeanour, affords the strongest pre sumption that DUNCAN was at the moment in a state of mental derangement; but as the case is under judicial in vestigation, we forbear, in the mean time, from giving far ther particulars...

On Friday last the annual competition for the priz,'s given by the Cumberland and Westmoreland Society, took !dace in the grounds attached to the Elre Tavern, St., John's Wood. Notwithstanding the unfavourable stay, of the weather, upwards of 1,000 persons assembled on the ground, the majority of whom were of very respectable appearance ; for, as we had occasion before to observe, wrestling is a sport in which all classes, from the highest to the lowest in Westmoreland and Cumberlind, feel a strong interest. The principal prize, a handsome silver cup, worth about 20/., was won by Mr. Jos. Dohson, o f Cliburn. Dobson has long been known as a good wrest•. ler, and would certainly have won the first prize last year but for carelessness begotten by over-confidence. On tb4 present occasion he was backed at even against the field, and the result proved that his friends had formed a correct estimate of his powers. He won easily : in the words of one of his native ballads— " He Hang the►t east, he Hang them west, " To him they were but call and atm." The person in whose favour the sympathies of the spec tators were most strongly enlisted, and who they hoped, would at least get the second prize, was W. Robinson a private in the Oxford Blues. A more perfect specimen of the human form is seldom seen than Robinson, added to which, his countenance is one of classic beauty, Robin son was a competitor last year ; and from the skill which he then displayed, it was expected that he would come In second this year. He threw all he wrestled with very cleverly, until he came to Joseph Wills, a privatf., in the Life Guards. The circumstance of the two soldiers being opposed to each other, as well as their being the represen tatives of the different counties, Robinson of Westmore land, and Wills of Cumberlaod, excited great interest in the spectators, amongst whom were a considerable num ber of their eomradtm They advanced into the ring amidst loud ciwering ; but the struggle was of short du ration. poor Robinson was thrown almost instantly, and w'.lliout an effort, in consequence of slipping on the wet ground. By this event Wills established hia right to the third pi ize, and Robinson obtained the fourth. If Robin son learn to be a little more active with his. feet, he wilt stand a very lair chance of obtaining the first prize next year. The second prize was we by Mr. Joseph Stamper, a Cumberland man. The first prize of the second class was won by Timothy Dobson, of Appleby ; the second by John Elwood, of Little Beck ; the third by Islin Slav of Cumberland; the fourth by Thomas Fatvr ett, of Westio,,reland; and the fifth by Miles Dodd , o f W est _ mordant!.

We are very sorry to learn that serious mis chief is now prevailing among the dairy farms in this county. Owing to the wet state of the land, the cows and oxen have become subject to a disorder which has oc casioned the loss of a very considerable number, nure especially in the moors and low lands. The disaster to she dairymen will be seriously felt by them, but still more so by the farmers, who, to the suffering so very generally ex, perienced by them in the loss of their sheep, have now to deplore this additional calamity. The continued rains prt - ,vent the lands attaining that sound and healthy state which alone will arrest the still existing disease which car ried off, during the last autumn and winter, such count less numbers of sheep. In one small district, that of Ashill Forest, on which from 1500 to 2000 sheep are generally depasturel, not a head is now to be seen, nearly the whole of them having perished from the couth ! With bright, warm days, however, better times to the farmer will, it is'hoped, occur; when the necessary ad vance in the stock may possibly afford sonic slight com pensation for the evils now so ilistressngly appt:rtaliling to agricultural life,— Taunton Courier
