BREACH or PROMISE or Manninoz.—This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Sergeant King lake and Mr. Fitzherbert appeared for the plaintiff'. Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Ball conducted the defence. Mr. Fitzherbert having opened the pleadings, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake stated the case to the jury. Robert Wilson—l am master of the union house at Cerne, and was so in 1844, in which year an election of a school mistress took place. There were five or six candidates, and Miss Caines was elected. She came at Christmas, 1841, and lived at the union house. I have known the defendant three or four years. In 1842 he was butler to Sir Henry Digby, of 3linterne House, and afterwards of his son, Mr. Digby. He visited my house, and saw Miss Caines there before 1843. In that year he visited her regularly. Miss Caines' parents live at Queen Camel, in Somersetshire. I received a letter from Mary Caines, and in consequence I communicated to Smith that Mr. and Mrs. Caines were in great distress. He replied that he was very sorry, and if her friends would advance some money, he would add 101. to it in their aid. He afterwards expressed a desire to go to Queen Camel, to ask the parents' consent to keep company with her. She ob tained leave of absence to go, and they went together. She again went about six months after. On both occasions she went early in the morning, and returned the same night. On the occasion of the defendant leaving Mr. Digby's service, I had some conversation with him, and he said he intended to marry Miss Caines. He added that lie would take a public house, and could manage to raise 1.0001. I saw him in the latter part of August, when he went into our kitchen to take leave of her. When lie came out he bad a handkerchief up to his face and had been crying. Miss Caines afterwards left the union-house in November, 1844, because she was preg nant. I - a - Iways considered him as her future husband. Cross examined by Mr. Cooxnunw—Miss Caines's duties were to see that the children were washed and properly dr •ssed. Her salary was 121. a year, with rations. Re-examined—l never heard of defendant's having courted any person but Miss Caines until after his marriage. John Foot—l am a farmer living at Glanville Wotton, nearn Come. Mr. and Mrs. Caines have lately been living at Queen Camel. Formerly they had a large farm. They have seven children alive, some older and one younger than Mary Caines. I was a guardian of the Cerne union, and considered the situation of schoolmistress a desirable one for her. I knew the defendant Smith. I heard of an intimacy between him and Miss Caines. I afterwards met Smith, and had some conversation with him. I said her friends were very poor, but she was very well satisfied with her place, and I hoped he would not make her dissatisfied with it, and then act dishonourably by her. He replied that it was his inten tion to act honourably by her. I know she has had a child, but I do not remember when it was. Cross-examined—The child is rather more than a year old. I think it was born in March, 1845. . At this stage of the case the Court adjourned, and the case was resumed on Saturday morning. Mr. COCKBURN then stated that it had been agreed between the parties to take a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. A verdict was then taken accordingly. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) BURGLARY —Benjamin Ashford, 38, and William Urledge, 18, were charged with burglariously breaking the dwelling house of Richard Leir, Esq., and stealing 12 silver spoons, 22 silver forks, and other property, at Lidchett. Mr. Stone conducted the prosecution. Thomas George Perry stated that he was a servant of the prbsecutor. On the 30th of January his master's house was properly secured at night. That he got up about six o'clock next morning, and found that the house had been broken open. Went to his master's room and could not get in, as two chairs were placed against the door. On getting in he saw a hole in the wall, near the window, large enough to let a person in. There was a candle burning on the table. The window was thrown up. He then missed his master's cellaret, a sugar canister, and many other things were also gone. He afterwards went into a field, about 100 yards from the house, and found his master's cellaret. R. L. Leir, Esq., stated, that on the night in question he lost some plate. Henry Edglow—Knows the prisoner Orledge. Saw him at Shepton. Prisoner Orledge asked him if he wanted to buy anything. ' He said he could put a pound or two in witness's pocket. He offered him some plate, for which he asked 255. Witness bought it for 1/. Sent word to a policeman of what he had done. Afterwards saw both the prisoners together at Shepton-market. Orledge asked him to buy some more plate. Agreed to purchase. He then told witness that Ashford had some plate to sell. Ashford showed him some silver forks and spoons, and a watch. Gave him Is., and promised to pay the remainder in a few days. Gave him the spoons, &c., to Summers, a policeman. The prisoners were taken into custody. Abraham Buck, a policeman, of Wells, stated that from inf wmation he had received he went to Shepton Mallet with Summers. Went to the Ship Inn, where he saw Orledge and the last witness together. He took Orledge into custody, and on searching him found four tea-spoons on him, and near where he had been sitting witness found eight silver forks. Then took Edglovr, the last witness, into custody, and found a watch on his person. He then went to Dichet, and at the Bell Inn saw Ashford. Took him into custody, and made an attempt to search him. Found inside the lining of his small clothes some forks and spoons. Mr. Leir was then called, and identified the property which had been found on the prisoners. Mr. Baron ROLFE having summed up, Time jury returned a verdict of Guilty. A former conviction having been proved against each of them, Ashford was sentenced to be transported for fourteen years, and Orledge for ten. April 4. erMirn.aerle.c.whil.ds, (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) CHARGE OF INFANTICIDE.—Anne Coles, a rather interest ingabuyn inflictingd e r a ppe appeared e mortal bruise the pr o u s e p i young wo man , was arra i gne d f or the wilful murder of with some h ar d su b stance. e o u n tio it n s . head Prideaux defended the prisoner. The main facts of this case, which were of a somewhat ex- traordinary character, appeared wentear - edfrom-the evidence to be as follows and earned :—The out into service by day, her p b r r i e s a o d ner a , who a a general uncle and aunt of the name of Francis,ser ant, lodged with an rooms, a front parlour and a back parlour, occupied two 10, Wellington-place, Bath, the differen t in a a , house,l No. which were let out to different lodgers. The back of was occupied by the prisoner, whilst Mr. and Mrs. parlour and a young child, their daughter,' slept in the front '8 par lour. On Saturday morning, t h e 2d of Aegust, about four o'clock, a man of the name of Bowles, who also occu pied apartments i n this house, discovered in the privy a new -born baby alive, his at tention being attracted to the child by a whining noise which it was malting. He lost no time in alarming Mr. and Mrs. Francis and the other inmates of the house , an d in rescuing the child from its perilous situation. A doctor was sent for, but the child shortly afterwards died. The prisoner, when interrogated, at first denied that it was her child; but she afterwards ad mitted it, and said, " I did not cry out here; when I threw it down the privy I thought it was dead." The extraordi nary part of the case was, that she could not have got to the privy without passing through the room in which Francis and his wife were, and unlocking the door of their molt - , which was kept locked, and which she must have locked again on her return, without disturbing Mr. or Mrs. Francis. With regard to the cause of death, Mr. ['ernes, a highly in telligent surgeon, swore to his belief that it was caused by extravasation of blood upon the brain, and that this was produced by a serious wound which had been inflicted upon the head. On his cross-examination he denied that such a wound could have been produced by the pressure of the head against the pelvis during labour, but admitted that it might have been produced by a fall, or some accidental violence un consciously inflicted by the mother during her suffering. He also stated that a frequent result of extravasation of blood upon the brain was to produce a suspension of animal power, \...1..... , / 1-'4 14,,/---&a .411- 14_,..-1,1./ C., , " ,v 4- g -gt,--r , - ---, • -.7 , 4 ,'. • . - ~ 4 1 4 i - -'• ' -,,..., -; . 4 . -, - ..., \ ~'-'. : . : .: , - 1:: :: ,,m :A--L :. 1 ... „ 4 .".- , ,,,,,, - = < P , Nir'‘7: 1, 1 4 ..,,, , 1'...., ,,7.,,. 11 -\ Ir i 42* 04:4" r ••. • ./„., k, i.r.:...,... ~.. 0.111 ~.. ~. ..

The case for the prosecution having teen concluded, Mr. PrtDEAVX,• in a forcible address to the jury, com mented upon' the improbability of the girl having taken down the child herself without awakening either of the Francises; and further contended that even if they were satisfied that she had done this, she ought to be acquitted, as the fair presumption was that the injury had been pro duced accidentally, and that the extravasation of blood had caused a temporary suspension of .the animal power, which had led the poor girl to believe that the body was really dead. Mr. Baron ROLFE then summed up the case to the jury, and told them that they must not trite with their con sciences, but that• if they thought all the circumstances of the case fairly consistent with innocence, they ought to ac quit the prisoner of the murder. He was then proceeding to tell the jury that they might, nevertheless, if they thought proper, convict her of concealing the birth of the child, when Mr. Pitinnatix reminded the Learned Judge that the sta tute which authorised this applied only to the concealment of the dead body of an infant. Mr. Baron ROLFE then said, that that was certainly so, and told the jury that as the body in this case was found alive, they must convict her of the murder, or acquit her altogether. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. ASSAULT FROM JEALOUSY.—CaIeb Emery was indicted for maliciously wounding John Townsend West, with intent to murder him. There was also a count charging an intent to maim, and a third count charging an intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Stone and Mr. Edwards conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Prideaux appeared for the defence. It appeared from the evidence, that on the night of the 10th of February last a most outrageous assault had been committed by the prisoner on the prosecutor, a surgeon, re sidir.g in Shepton Mallett. He had been knocked down and most violently beaten about the head, where he had received five severe wounds of a Very serious character. The prisoner had subsequently stated that he had given the little doctor such a pill that be would not want another in a hurry ; but that he should not hive done - it if it had not been for Sal Fownell.. This Sal Fownell had pointed out the doctor to him upon their meeting him accidentally, when they were walking together, and it was shortly after this that the as sault was committed. There was evidence to show that the prisoner suspected the prosecutor of having been too intimate with his wife. Mr. PRIDEAUX addressed the jury for the prisoners, and contended that the evidence showed that the attack could not have been premeditated ; and that they ought, therefore, to find the prisoner guilty of a common assault only. The jury, however•, returned a verdict upon the third count of Guilty of an intent to do grievous bodily harm. There are two other indictments against the prisoner for felonious assaults upon his wife—the one with intent to murder her, and the other with intent to do her grievous bodily harm ; but as these have not been inquired into . , the Learned Judge deferred passing sentence on the present conviction. IV ORTH E RN CI /I CUI T.—Liverpool, April 3. CROWN COURT.-(Before Mr. Justice PArrasost.) CIIARGE OF MURDER.— Sarah Swift, aged 19, was indicted for the wilful murder of Elizabeth M'Gill, at Liverpool. Mr. Drinkwater appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. James defended the prisoner. Harriet Robinson said, she is a single woman, lived in Shaw's-alley, and knew the deceased, who is a girl of ill fame. The prisoner is also one of that character. Recol lects being in Barber's public-house, where the deceased, the prisoner, and several other girls were. There were sailors in the dancing-room. Elizabeth M'Gill asked, " What do you want there; why don't you go to your own house?" When prisoner -replied, "Tliat so she could," and left the house with Ann Kelly. Witness went out, awl When she returned the beer-house was closed, about eleven o'clock. Met Elizabeth M'Gill near Sparling-street. She was crying, but not drunk. Elizabeth M'Gill struck Sarah Swift, who said we had better go home before we got into cole-hole. The prisoner, who had a knife, ran at her. Sarah Swift said to Nancy Allen, who was present, that she would serve witness in the same way. Gave prisoner in charge to a policeman, who brought the prisoner and Nancy Allen to the house. Knew the knife, and pointed out the place where the knife was thrown away after the perpetration of the act. The knife was open, and covered with blood. Cross-examined—ls about 22 years of age, and leading her present life about six months. Had lived in Liverpool six years. but. not with her father for the last six months. Sarah Munro—Witness refused to kiss the book, but the Judge threatened to send her to prison direct. She then complied, and was then admonished by his Lordship to tell the truth. She spoke to some of the facts on the case, and then &kited, and it was deemed necessary to remove her. Ann Power—Lives iu Shaw's alley, and remembers the 19th of December. She heard the prisoner say she " would serve out deceased in some dark corner." It was about ten minutes past twelve when she met deceased in Mason street. There were two foreigners with her, and shortly after she heard the deceased cry out " murder." She (wit ness) ran up, and the foreigners, who held up deceased, went away. At this moment she did not perceive anything was the matter with her. At the time deceased was wounded there were several men and women near besides the policeman. In answer to a question by the jury, the witness stated that the conversation at Barber's was carried on in the spirit of anger. Other witnesses were called, but their testimony was a mere repetition of that already detailed. John Bold Hyams—ls a surgeon, and was called in on the morning of the-20th of - December - to - see deceased. He had made a' post modem. examination, and the depth of the wound was about three inches. It extended to the thorax, and the knife which was submitted to his inspection would cause such a wound. The wound. was about one inch and a half wide, and deceased might have cried out " murder," but it was impossible, in his opinion, that she could have lived more than half an hour. After the summing up of the Learned Judge, the jury re tired for a short time, and on their return found a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter. Sentence, to be transported for life. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) HUTCHINSON V. THE LANCASHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. The Attorney-General (Mr. Knowles). Air. Crompton, and Mr. Aspland, were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Baines, Mr. Martin, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. John Henderson, for the defendants. • This was an action brought by Mr. Hutchinson , a gentle man residing near Liverpool, but formerly living at Bury, and arose out of an action tried at the last summer assizes, in which the same parties were plaintiffs and defendants. On that occasion a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, and that verdict had been confirmed by the Court above. The grounds of that action were the following:—The East Lan cashire, late the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale Railway requiring a piece of land belonging to the plaintiff, had an inquisition to assess the value of the property, and without the explainp.laintifft ogivin grequiring ofChancery,without o of his land,notic e th thereof. After this the Company t o ok posses notwith standing that they had notice to the contrary, and the plain tiff threatened them with a prosecution for penalties in case they did. Mr. Hutchinson then'brought his action of eject ment, which was tried at the last summer assizes, for the amount of money which had been awarded to him he not choosing to apply to the Acc oun tant-General. In this action he was successful; and the Company taking the case before the Court above, the finding of the Liverpool jury was con firmed. A writ of possession was then issued, and Mr. Hutchinson again took possession of his land. The Company then paid him the money awarded to him; and after he had been in possession ten days the Company took possession of the land. By two sections of the Bury and Rossendale Rail-i way Act, a penalty of 25/. per day is imposed during such time as they were wilfully and wrongfully in possession of the land. These penalties amounted to 6,6001. Witnesses were called, who proved the principal part of the statements of the Learned Counsel; and the other portions were made out by docutnentury evidence. Mr. BAINES submitted that there was no question for the consideration of the jury. According to the true construc tion of the Act of Parliament there must have been a wilful taking possession.. His LORDSHIP said, that as the case at present stood, there was nothing to explain their acts. Mr. Kprowcas—lf they entered into possession bond fide, I would submit that they are liable. Mr. HENDERSON, for the defendants, said he would submit that, under the 159th section of the Act, the payment of the deposit relieved the company from the penalty. Mr. BAINES then addressed the jury, contending that the company throughout all their proceedings had been actuated by the most honourable feeling towards the plaintiff, who, on the contrary, had taken every means in his power to throw every obstacle in the way of the railvray , company taking possession of the land for the purpose of constructing the railway, re'nsing to give any explanation of his title or any matter at issue, and the company then did, with perfect good faith, pay the money into the Court of Chancery, there to await his making good his title, and when he had done that, the company would have to pay the expense of getting the money out of the hands of the Accountant- General. When the Court above confirmed the decision of the jury at the former assizes, Mr. Grundy, the solicitor to the comf any, went to Liver . pool,. and t there offered Mr. ti s s nd sol A ic i i r e G r, r t u h n e d ;,o ln Bo a / d ., e which they from the February pre a tender of four per cent. interest Richardson thny N.ery quietly r.pAoloiklleetre,d for t retaining r ed n pon p t o u s p y andiou pre vious. wT theyhe ), however,sought to declinednla kethe to railwayaccept the co latternipan company a p m ay o u t n h t e , to the day when the of of the Court of Queen's Bench s se u s in sio o n f w 45 formally pronounced. o 6 6 t 0 11 9 e 1 lend in f t r i ci 'e m si t ' h a e pe da o y f w p h en en ai t t h ie e s' y Mr. John Grundy, solicitor to the Company, was examined at considerable length, and said that the course taken by the company was adipted b y the advice of counsel. Upon this, his LORDSH IP asked th e Attorney-General whe ther he could change the appearance of the fact ? and upon the Learned Gentleman replying in the negative, his Lord ship ruled in favour of the defendants, leave being given to the plaintiff to move the Court above.

Mr. Willoughby looked at the western sun, which was not far above the dense wall of trees that shut in the small clearin4 ; then at the heavy clouds which ads vanced from the north, threatening a stormy night ; then sat his watch, and then at his note-book ; and, after all, at his predicament—on the whole, an un pleasant prospect. Bat at this moment a female face showed itself at the door. Our traveller's memory reverted at once to the testimony of Ledyard and Mungo Park ; and he had also some floating and indis tinct poetical recollections of woman's being useful when a man was in difficulties, though hard to please at other times. Tne result of these reminis cences, which occupied a precious second, was, that Mr. Willoughby dismounted, fastened his horse to the fence, and advanced with a brave and determined air, to throw himself upon female kindness and sympathy. He naturally looked at the lady as he approached the door, but she did not return the compliment. She looked at the pigs, and talked to the children, and Mr. Willoughby had time to observe that she was the very duplicate of her husband ; as tall, as bony, as ragged, and twice as cress-looking. " Mal-, viny Jane 1" she exclaimed, in no dulcet treble, "be done a-paddlin' in that 'ere water I If I come there, I'll —." " You'd better look at Sophrony, I guess 1" was 'the reply.

And in truth he could scarcely blame the cool reception he had experienced, when be beheld the state of affairs within those muddy precincts. The room was large, but it swarmed with human beings. The huge open fireplace, with its hearth of rough stone, occupied nearly the whole of one end of the apartment ; and near it stood a long cradle, containing a pair of twins, who cried—a sort of hopeless cry, as if they knew it would do no good, yet could not help it. The schoolmaster (it was his week) sat reading a tattered novel, and rocking the cradle ems , - sionally, when the children cried too loud.

They said that they were not so ; but without explaining that they had, in fact, contracted with the plaintiffs, and that they nevertheless. considered themselves free for particular reasons. At that time, in consequence of the reduction of the duty on glass, the demand for hands had become more brisk. A correspondence ensued between the plaintiffs and the defend ants upon the subject of these men, and then the claim e former to the services of the men was made known .0 the latter. The man Dodds was engaged after this correspondence began ' and c mtinwel in 'the service of the defendants . afterwaed.; ; the others, Lee and INPConnell, having been engaged at an earlier date. Mr. Richard Shortridge, formerly in the same way of busi ness, and now a magistrate for the county of Durham, was one of the witnesses called. He stated that he had been re ferred to as a common friend of both parties, and spoken to by both of them respecting the matter in dispute. He was of opinion that the plaintiffs were entitled to the services of the three men. But it appeared that the men had insisted that. the defendants were bound to continue them in their employ, and some attorney, called " the miner's attorney," was mentioned as one wh would protect the men against the claim of their former employers. The men demanded from the defendants the observance of the subsequent con tract between them ; and further, as it appeared, a respect. able attorney had advised the defendants that it was incum bent on the plaintiffs to take seine proceedings ag a in s t the men, or that, in default of such proceedings, they (the de fendants) would be justified in keeping the three men in their employ, notwithstanding the intimation of the former contract which they and the defendants had received from the plaintiffs. Mr. CROMPTON, in reply to the case of the defendants, sail, he was quite willing to leave it to the jury to decide the °ply 'question that could be entertained—namely, the amount of damages to which the plaintiffs might be entitled. . The Learned JUDGE, in directing the jury, observed, that it appeared that the defendants, whose respectability was not in doubt, had in fact been deceived by the representations of the men whom they had engaged. They rightly said to the plaintiffs, " Show us how it is that the men are bound to you." And then the contract was shown "to Mr. Shortridgc, and that gentleman decided in favour of the plaintiffs. But the defendants, it further appeared, were still fiat altogether content, because they also had entered into a contract with these men, which contract would have been binding if the men had not told a falsehood. The defendants, however, had rightly discharged the men ; anti then, as it was stated, there was an attorney who had said that he would pick a hole in the agreement between the men and the plaintiffs. The men claimed to have their subsequent contract with the defen dants performed to the letter. This placed the defendants in what was called " a cleft stick"—that was, that they must be prepared either to defend proceedings against these men, or to be prepared for proceedings taken by the Messrs. Pilkington, and they had elected to encounter the latter difficulty. The course adopted, and said to have been recommended by a respectable attorney to the de fendants was, to say to the plaintiffs, " if you do not take some steps against your men, we will take them back again." This was certainly most absurd advice. The men might have been prosecuted and punished, it was true, before the magistrates, for leaving their employ, although such proceedings are accompanied with risk, from the diffi culty there was of making a conviction which should be free from objections. But the plaintiffs were not bound to pro secute their servants. The defendants having been pressed on one side, and on the other, chose, as it appeared, to side with the men, although not obliged to do so. The plaintiff would be entitled to some damages at the hands of the jury —not, of course, excessive damages, for while the men had acted dishonestly in saying they were not bound, the defendants had been deceived by their misrepresentation upon that point. The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff= Damages, 51. CHESTER ClRCUlT.—Chester, April 3. CROWN COURT—( Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—Mary Evans, aged 22, was charged with administering two drachms of red oxide of mercury, commonly known as red precipitate, to her infant male child, with intent to murder it on the 3d of December last, at Birkenhead. The prisoner had also been indicted for the wilful murder of another of her children by poison at Bibington, near Birkenhead; but, as the testimony in that case rested principally upon the chemical analysis of there mains of the child, which had been buried six months before the circumstances that led to the apprehension of the ac cused transpired, the grand jury had ignored the bill. In the case now under trial the Attorney-General for the Palatinate, Mr. HILL (with whom was Mr. Townsend), stated that the child was illegitimate, and was born in Sep tember last. It was entrusted to the care of Mary Cheetham to be nursed. The prisoner made occasional visits to see the infant. On the 3d of December she took it to the house where she resided. The nurse accompanied her, and saw her give something to it which she supposed was milk, as the prisoner had said she would give it some, and Cheetham had cautioned her not to let the child haVe cold milk. Cheetham took it back to her own house, but en the way it became ill and vomited She carried it to a druggist, who perceived that the child had been poisoned. A constable was sent for, and Cheetham returned with him to the house where the prisoner lived; a physician having been fetched in the meantime to prescribe for the apparently dying infant. On seeing the policeman, the prisoner asked if the child was dead, and attempted to conceal a cup, which the officer seized. The vomit and the contents of the cup were afterwards examined, and proved to contain red oxide of mercury. The woman begged not to be taken into custody, as she said nobody knew about it. The woman Cheatham who nursed the child, the police• officer ceho arrested the prisoner, the druggist to whose shop the infant was taken after swallowing the poison, another druggist, who sold the red precipitate to the prisoner, Dr. Vaughan. of Birkenhead, who was called in to attend the child, and under whose care it ultimately recovered, and Dr. Brett, lecturer on chemistry at Liverpool, who analysed the vomit and the contents of the cup, which the constab'e took from the prisoner when he apprehended her—having been seve rally examined in support of the charge, Mr. BRYAN addressed the jury for the prisoner, arguing that the poison might have been given ignorantly or in mistake. The Learned Juno: then summed up the evidence with great care and perspicuity; after which, a verdict of Guilty was returned, and his Lordship, in a most impressive ad dress, ordered sentence of death to be recorded against the prisoner. She is a single woman, and has given birth to five illegi timate children, only one of whom is living—the infant which she has been convicted of attempting to murder. THE ROCK FERRY Al URDER.-3fichael Burns, aged 33, was charged with a highway robbery upon the person of the late Thomas Peacop, in the township of Bebington. The Attorney General (Mr. Hill), Hr. Townsend, and Mr. Davison, appeared for the prosecution; the prisoner was un defended. The ArromEr-GENERAL stated the case, to the effect that the prisoner was charged with highway robbery on the person of Mr. Thomas Pe Icop, on the 31st day of December, 1644. The grand . Ury had thrown out the bill for murder against three of the prisoner's companions, and he had de termined upon proceeding against the prisoner for the high way robbery only, with violence. It would be remembered that Mr. Peacop was murdered at, Bebington, and that a number of persons were concerned in it. The question for them would be, whether he was one of the party consenting . . to Mr. Peacop's robbery—the murder, as he before stated, not being charged. When the robbery was committed, Mr. Peacop had some sovereigns and some silver upon him, the silver only being taken. For a long time afterwards no in formation was obtained as to the offenders, but at length the prisoner sent over to Dublin. Information was then ob tained respecting his connexion with the robbery, and a constable went to the city of Dublin and apprehended him. The prisoner then made a statement implicating himself, and upon that statement, corroborated as it would be by other evidence, he thought they would have no doubt he had been a party in the highway robbery. Evidence as to the facts of a murder and highway robbery having been adduced, the statement made by the prisoner before the magistrates at Birkenhead in September last was then put in and read. The prisoner, on being called upon by the Learned Judge for his defence, said, " I have said all I had to say before it was paid no attention to, and I have now no more to say." His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after some deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence of transportation for life was then passed. Burns seemed stupefied and amazed at the result of the trial, and there is no doubt that when he impeached, as his accomplices, the men Lynch, Newton, and Talent, against whom the grand jury ignored the bill, he expected to be ad mitted evidence for the Crown, and to obtain a reward of 300/., which had been offered. LIBEL orr A CLERGY iAlr.-An indictment for libel on the prosecution of the Rev. J. Arniitstea.(l, Vicar of Sand bach, against Samuel Slater, of Holmes' Chapel, was tried before Mr. Justice Wightman. The libel was published in the Macclesfield Chronicle, in the form of a letter to the editor, of which the defendant, by his own admission, was the writer. It arose out of an agitation promoted by a party of , Dissenters against church-rates, and imputed dishonesty to the vicar, with other s:anthrotis insinuations. Tae Itev. Gentleman bad merely brought the matter into Court to vindicate his character, the Lear.ied Judge giving it as his opinion that the libel was of such a nature as could not be passed over without notice. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. dill and Mr. Townsend; and Mr. Trafford appeared for the defendant. The principal witness was the editor of the paper, who had Slater 's written declaration that he was the author of the letter which was the subject of the in dictment. The defendant was found Guilty, and sentenced to pay a flue of 101. to the Queen. The trials of prisoners were also taken in the Nisi Prius Coin, and at half-past eight o'clock in the evening the busi ness of the assizes terminated. At a moment when famine, and its terrible attendant pestilence, are threatening the poor of Ireland, and when the First-Minister of the Crown, as well as every individual ac quainted with that country, is fully sensible of the fact that no relief which Parliament can extend to its people can he effective or permanent without the co-operation of the large landed proprietors, and when such just complaints are made of the apathy of these lords of the soil, who fail not to en force their rights, while they lamentably neglect those duties which they owe to the p-•ople whom I'rovidance has com mitted to their care, it is to us a most gratifying task to record the exertions of one nobleman to give employment, and spread comfort among tile humbler classes around him. That nobleman is Lord Da Freyne, who, to alleviate the distress of tenants and deplovients, gives, and has given for the last year, constant employment to no less than 550 men daily in the further improvement of his beautiful and ex tensive demesne of French Park, in the county of Roscom mon. Should other landlords follow the example of this most estimable nobleman we should hear little of local suf fering or agrarian outrages. lie will reap his reward in the blessings of a grateful population, and in the comfort and happiness which pervade his estates. May his noble ex ample stimulate others to like acts of judicious benevolence. —Observer. FIRE AT THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—List evening some alarm was created in the immediate vicinity of the Strand, by the report that the Adelphl Theatre was on fire. The engines from Chandos street were immediately taken to the building, and were followed by the West of England firemen flout the Waterloo-road. It was then ascertained that the fire had broken out in the car penter's workshop, a buildlag exactly over the treastny of the theatre, and that it was cause 1 by a spark falling amongst a heap of Shavings. A number of deal boards, standing in the workshop were set on fire, but the discovery having been opportunely made, the car penters and scene painters, who were at the time fortunately engaged on the stage, ran forward, and, with the aid of some buckets of water, succeeded in extinguishing the flames before any considerable damage had bent done. A PRIL 6, 1846. ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVO- LENT INSTITUTION. The thirty-first anniversary dinner of this excellent and philanthropic institution—from which the artist receives succAir when prevented from following his pro fession by sickness, old age, or the fatalities which attend all human pursuits, and to which his widow find children may confidently look for aid in the hour of need—was held' at the Freema - son's Tavern, and was attended by a considerable number of eminent artists and patrons of the fine arts. The pllen of the Hall was graced by several beautiful and elegantly dressed ladies. W. R. Collett, El., M.P., occupied the chair. The dinner—a very good cn —Non nobis Domine, and the usual loyal and national toasts, which were responded to with the usual enthusiasm, being disposee of, The CHAIRMAN proeosed " Prosperity to the Artists' General Benevolent Institution." In doing so he said he felt from the.first the great responsiblity of the task, and his inability to do proper justice to it, but he had been buoyed up the hope and belief that though he might not discharge the duties of the chair to their satisfac tion, he should show that he felt no want of enthusiasm for the institution, another anniversary of which they had met to celebrate.--(Cheers) The object of the in stitution was to make some return to artists in general, when misfortune betel them, for the works which they had executed under better auspices, and it was for them to say to what extent they would respond to the carry. ing out of such a noble and philanthropic object- Nine hundred and fifty-three cases had been relieved—and not simply relieved, for the assistance thus given pre vented the periling, and, in all probability, prolonged the lives of those who upplied fir such relief and ob tained it.—(Cheers.) And more, its charity had been so well bestowed that the sensitiveness which always characterised genius had never been wounded in the sl.ghtest degree.—(Hear, hear.) The British Institution, he was delighted to find, intended to promote exhibitions of the fine arts, and that there was a growing taste in the public mind to visit them, and to purchase works of art, thus opening up a wider field for the execution of the artist, and stimulating theta to emulate each other in producing Works of the highest and most refined character.—(Cheers.) Whatever might be said of the backwardness of the great body of the public in supporting the fine arts, he was satisfied, from experience, that they had never turned a deaf ear to the appeal of men of talent. This was evident from their having contributed to relieve the necessities of 953 persons. Every member of the institution knew that his contribution would be devoted to the assistance of a brother artist in the hour of adversity, but he was satis fied that they required no inducement from him to step forward to give them all the aid they required. After expressing his intention to do all in his power to pro mote the interests of the institution, he concluded by proposing the toast, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. J. 11. Mann, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents of the institution, briefly returned thanks. He was delighted to see Sir W. C. Ross, R.A., amongst thorn, because he was one of the founders of the institution, and one of its Vice-Presidents, deservedly at the head of the Royal Academy, and because he had had the honour of painting the first portrait of our beloved Queen before she as cended the throne.—(Cheers.) He also passed a high eulogiuin on the talents of Thomas Phillips, R.A., and Andrew Robertson, who had died since their last anni versary. J. R. TODD, Esq., then gave the health of the Chair man, which was warmly responded to. The CHAIR/nit; in returning thanks, regretted that business and politics had prevented him from giving that attention to the fine arts which he desired, as in their pursuit, he had passed some of his happiest moments, as he had studied nature in her fairest and loveliest forms. —(Laughter.) He could assure them that lie was sin cere is the sentiment. He then gage—`• Sir Arthur Martin Shee, and the Royal Academy." The toast was received with all the honours. Taos. Emus, R.A., briefly returned thanks. C. R. COCHAELL, R.A., the Treasurer, then read a list of the subscriptions which had been received during the evening. They amounted to a considerable sum, and among them were the following :—R. 'Joliet, Esq., 221.25., the Lord Chancellor, 101. lOs , the Duke of Sutherland, 10/. 10s., T. Baring, Esq , 101., R. Impsey, 101., G. Jones, Esq , 201., Lord F. Egerton, 101., %V. J. Dennison, 101. 10s. ; 761. the proceeds of a theatrical perform snco got up by several young artists, the en , nounceaient of which, and in fact all, was received with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the Royal Commis sioners of Fine Arts, who had not been able to accom plish all they wished, were thing everything in their power to encourage artists. He had seen frescos in all parts of the world, but he was agreeably surprised to find that those recently exhibited in Westminster-hall were equal to those producA in any other country. He felt that the time had gone by when they had to look for the initiative in that department to Germany, or any of the countries of the continent. Now English artists took the lead, and would set an example to other countries for their colouring whether in figure or landscape, was superior ; but he 6 would not say that they had equalled the ancient painters. Instead of saying that the art had reached maturity. he would rather say it had not, in order that the genius of the English artist might be stimulated. The Commissioners hail taken a step in the right direction; and, as th , .y had evinced the utmost desire to promote the higher branches of the art, he confidently antici pated that no public building, in this or any other coun try, would be decorated like the new !lunges of Parlia ment. He therefore besought young artists especially to avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to them. A number of other toasts were drunk, and the com pany did not break up until a late hour. Several songs and glees were sung during the evening by the Misses Williams, Mr. Hatton, and others. Mr. Higgins officiated as toast-master, and acquitted himself very effectively.
