ME LONDON JOURNALS. PAW( Extrads from the Morning.npers, Dec. 30. [BRITISH Prass. 1 All Colombia must be by this time free, and Puerto Cavell°, the last remaining hold in the hands of Spaniards, have fallen. The 64 Vane. Zoleno Extruordinar s y," of the Oth of November, extracts from which will be found in our columns, states the assault of the Independent forces on this• place, and their surcesi. On the Bth No vember, a t two in the morning, a battalion of the Republican troops, commanded by Major Cala, and 150 Lancers of the Guard, entered through the mangle r :m(l surprised the Spaniards 1:1 the interior town, to the number of about 200, ell of whom, with their Commanders, Calzado and Cat ret a, were put to the sword. The garrison, thus surprised,had previously refused the tetansof capi tulation proposed to them by. General Paez. The previous day the cannonade on both sides had been. warmly kept up, and the tire from the place was very heavy ; the garrison, exhausted by fatigue, bunk into sleep, and were surprised and put to the sword as we have mentioned. The castle, the Colombian Paper adds, must have surrendered immediately, as those who defended it did not exceed thirty, and almost the entire garrison were in the interior tovrn. Generals Paez, Bermudez, and Marino were before the plat..., and had, by their exertions, closed the war of independenve of Venezuela. What will the L'aei/e and Mathicl 3nornal say now to these new occurrences in America"? What argu ments can they rai , ie to uphold the fallen sway of feeble and degraded Spain ? CmonNtNo ensT.:l New York Papers to the ”th inst. arrived yes terday. The most interesting part of their con tents will be found in a preceding coluton. The document rather hastily called by the American Journals " tl. Declaration of War by Mexico against Spain," does not go the length of placing the two countries in a state of positive hostility. It only snspends the intercourse between them ; as the Allied Powers did with Portugal long be fore they determined on interfering actively, through the medium of France in the affairs of the Peninsula, of this Declaration the import was al toady knou 11,for it is nothing more than the Decree by which all native Spaniards were banished out of the Mexican territory, and their goods directed to be confiscated after a certain time, in consequence of the unexpected firing from the Castle of Sun Juan de Vlloa on the town of Vera Cruz. The intelligence from Colombia brings the details of the storming and capture of Porto Cavell°, in which it appears the major part of the garrison were put to i the sword. The accounts from Chili assert drat the people were di ssa ti s f ie d with tha government of General Freyre, and that a new revolution to remove hint from the head of affairs was every day antici pated. Tire late President, O'Higgins, and his family, had left Chili for Peru, where they meant to settle. Another Opponent, however, had started up in his place, so that Freyre bad not gained awch by that change. Th4-st , Papers also inform 11:4 that a Very serious di , pute had broken out bet ween the Governor of Prince Edward's Island and many of the principal mer chants. Several of the leading inhabitants had been committed td gaol for an alleged contempt of the Court of. Chancery, and the whole popula tion was in a state of ferment on that account. Nll, T M. Es.] An express from Paris yesterday brought the prices of the French Fuos, 01 05 on Saturday ; Scrip 3u ; Neapolitan 77 lixchange on Lon don, one month, 45 ; ditto three months, 25 i 5 and. Swinish I;otids are stated to be lower. Consols closed yesterday at 86f, with every ap pearance of their continuing firm. After the lapse of alew days, during the holidays, the business transacted in Foreign Securities has recom mowed with the usual activity. Business to sente extent was done in the latter part of the day in the New Austrian Loan at a premium of 3 per although the Bonds are not yet brought out. This Loan is likely to prove, in the phrase of the Exchange, a favourite Stock, from the combined circumstances of its being broeght not at a low price, and the divi dends being made payable in London in pouticis oterling, tied therefore not subject to the variation of exchange ; and also from the consideration, that the whole amount goes to our Government, another considerable instalment having been paid into the Exche quer, yeaterpy. Xu consequence of this Con tract being nearly completed, Goverument in tends, it is said, to convert the Imperial An nultifi into A:opooli. Business was alga done for the time in the New Dutch Loan, bear ; per cent. interest, at Ulf. Spanish Bonds izave been dull to-day, at '2Gf to '264.--Chilean Bonds,7ol-; and Colombian Bonds, Mil- to 50i. ft is said, that Mr. Revenge, on his return to Ce;ottiltia, is to till the office of MinNter of Fi nance. Mr. u rted°, his successor, is expected to be accompanied by Messrs. Alonteros and Robles, two of the Commissioners appointed to investigate the claims arising out of Mr. Zea's Loan. [Tug r[mcs.] A Mail from the Leeward islands arrived yes. terday. The letters from St. Thomas are dated the it.;:th November. They are silent respecting the I:nrrender of Puerto Cabello, which was said to hay.; been taken on the Bth; but there pro. bahly had not been sufficient time for the arrival of the intelligence, and the accounts derived through the Americtin Papers are too circum slamtt:,4 to leave any doubt of the event. — Then less of ferment generally in the 'slant!' 1:1;h1 from the previous aCeOunts might hive h.en anticipated. Most of the Legis lature" were in sesiion, without much discussion or notice taliou of tin recent c ommunications from England, on the subject of slavery. The House of Assembly of Tobago applied, on the 16th October, 'to the Governor, for a complete copy of Lord Liathurst's dispatch, or for a more full communication of those passages in it regard ing slavery. The latter part of this request is reported in the proceedings to have been com plied with on the 18th ; but the communication from the Governor is not copied into the jour nals. It is remarkable, indeed, that none of them, throughout the whole of the islands, haie yet done no more• than give very meagre quota tions from this important document, which has led to so much irritation in the principal colony, Jamaica, as to produce a memorial to the King to remove Lord Bathurst from his councils. The Barbadoes G lobe of the 23d of Oct. states that the late existing differences between the two branches of the Legislature had been happily terminated by mutual communications from each branch at a meeting held for that purpose, when every thing was honourably arranged for both. This re conciliation is said in the private letters to have bc'en brought about by the mutual sense of danger arising from the proceedings in England. The free people of colour in Barbadoes had presented to the House of Assembly, by a com mittee of their body, an address replete with as. surances of attachment to their native island,and to its institutions, and of their readiness to assist in opposing, to the best of their abilities, any in novation in the present form of the internal regu lations which may be prodfictive of consequences injurious to the interests of the Colony. No further notice is taken of the destruction of the Chapel of Mr. Shrewsbury, the Missionary; end as no person had been apprehended for partici pating in that outrage, it would appear that the daring conduct of the offenders had had the effect in some degree of screening them from detection and punishment. [MOHNINO CHRONICLE.] The destruction of a Methodist Chapel at Bridge Town, Barbadoes, of which an account reached this country some time ago, is viewed as a great triumph in that colony, if we may judge from two printed placards which have been transmitted to us, and which our readers will find in another column under the head " Bar badoes," (see THE SUN of yesterday). In one of these productions," the concurrenceof nine-tenths of the community "is boasted of, and being de termined, they say, to put an end to Methodism, all Methodist Preachers are warned not to approach these shores, as if they do, it will be at their own peril." In the other, " all persons who consider themselves true lovers of reli gion" are invited to 64 follow the laudable ex.! ample of the Barbadians, in putting an end to Methodism and Methodist Chapels through out the West Indies." We pity these mis guided persons, who will probably he the first to feel the mischievous consequences of what they now consider a triumph. Instead of committing outrages against the Methodist Preachers, they ought to feel grateful to them, for their endeavours to improve and civilize the wretched being s whom they themselves hav e so l ong neg l ecte The Methodists, if their labours are attended with success, must infallibly render the Slaves more docile than they were before receiving re ligious instruction. IlThen was it over known that Methodism made men turbulent ? The general accusation against the followers of Wesley is, that they are more abject and submissive than other men, rather than more turbulent. In this country the Wesleyans were persecuted for many years after this Barbadinu manner, and the Journal of the Founder contains but too many instances of Magistrates and Cler gymen stimulating the mob to use violence to wards ititry. However he fairly conquered his persecutors by his Christian patience and bone. valence. Whether, the conduct of the Founder will be imitated on this occasion, or whether the Missionaries, after this warning, will diem it ad visable to abandon the Negroes to the ignorance; in which these 44 true lovers of religion," their their masters, wish them to continue, remains to be seen. [MORNING HERALD.] The question has frequently been asked of late years, both by men who have passed their lives in the seclusion of their closets, and by persons engaged in the business and bustle of active life, why has no important change taken place in the condition of the Jews ? The meaning of course is, why no Legislative protection and security has been afforded them, for their condition has certainly been ameliorated, and their na tural rights have become secure, and more re spected. But for this protection they are indebted only to the more humane and tolerant spirit of the age. An important exception is, no doubt, to be main of the arrangement entered into with the Sanhedrim by Buonaparte, when France took the name of an Empire under his sway, to extend to the observers of the Mosaic dispensation, civil and political rights and qualifications. But it was restricted to France and Italy, and of course left the Jews in the same condition as before in Spain, Germany, and the other countries of the Continent. But the wonder is, not that Govern ments have not thought of improving the civil and political state of the Jews. It is matter of much more surprise that the Jews themselves have made no effort—issued no remonstrance—even. pre sented no solicitation for relief. Among the many peculiarities of this singular people, this deserves to be noticed as one, observable not only at the present day, but running through their history for ages. The circumstance has bean suggested to us, by having looked through some pages of a book recently published on the Continent, which sketches their history for several cen turies in different countries. They not only made no effort to vindicate their rights as a people, but left uu history of their injuries. The horrible details, not merely of pillage, but of cruel death, with every accompaniment of bodily torture and brutal ignominy, which this book reveals, are such as to make the reader reflect upon human nature with humiliation and dismay. It is difficult to decide which is more revoltingly odious—the cruel, blood-thirsty rapacity of K ins, or the gratuitous fury and execrable fanaticism of the multitude—both calling themselves Christian. But is it a Jew who has written this history in vindication of his nation ?—No. Is it from re cords left by . Jews that he has compiled his nar ratives ?--No. This people--scattered over the earth—which has seen so much and suf fered so much, which ought to have been the vehicle of the knowledge of many ages and nations, has passed through centuries with out, in appearance, having 46 eyes to see or ears to ear." Was it that they were more ignorant than their oppressors ? It does not appear to have been so, for they were superior in all the arts of industry until the 16th century. Was it that their spirit was broken down ? Neither does this appear to have been the fact; for, in spite of persecution, hatred, and contempt—deliver ed over as they were to lire and sword—they still maintained an existence even in the countries where they had experienced the fiercest hostilty and the most savage treatment.—The same prin ciple resolves and explains both phenomena. An unexampled singleness of purpose and pur suit—that of creating end amassing wealth —shut their eyes to their own sufferings, and extinguished in them the instinct of acquiring and transmitting knowledge, for the sake of their own posterity, and of posterity at large. But as they sought wealth, and wealth onl4A4ite of suffering, so they attained it; and 4011119 e of riches enabled them to maintain t tlmselves against such elements of destruction, as One might expect, must exterminate them in half a century. PUBLIC MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE C. DIBDIN, ESQ - On Saturday evening the Committee of Ma 4 nagernent for conducting the subscriptions for this popular Undertaking, resumed .their labours at the Freemasons"f avern. rt is scarcely known to the public that some months ago a meetiatof the admirers of Mr. lithdin's writings and compo. sitions tookplace at the Freemason's Tavern, to consider of the propriety of raising a subscription for a public monument to his memory, when, among other Resolutions, the tbllowing, which must come home to the feelings of every Englishman, were unanimously passed; John Young, Esq., being in the Chair : " That It is the opinion of this Meeting, that the extinordi, nary talents and perseverance of the late Charles Dibdin con duced greatly to benefit, as well us amuse and instruct, society in general ; but that tile tendency of his wrightings and compo sitions,. towards promoting that brave and daring spirit which characterises.thc liritish navy, entitled his name and memory to the highest respect and veneration of all classes. . . • That it is with feelings of deep regret that this Meeting • I • i contemplates the apparent indifference hitherto manifested, n. the neglect of, some public acknowledment of his -exalted ta lents ; - but that itis the unanimous :Tinion Of the gontlemen. present, that the . subject only:needs.to be brought before the: public to insure'a general and liberal support. " That this meeting, under a confident impression that they are consulting. the best feelings of the nohlity, gentry, and the public, and more particularly of the musical and dramatic.pro fessions, by. affording an opportunity of commemorating his life and writings, pledge. themselves to promote - a general sub scription,-for the .purpose of raising a monument to his memory. 7. These resolutions, with the appointment of a Committee and the immediate subscription of -a considerable sum comprised the business of the Meeting.. . The lamented death of Mr.. John Kemble, and the subse. quent public testimony . of regard which Was manifested by the Illeeting, and subscriptions for a monument to his memory, in duced the Committee to postpone the arrangements for the furtherance of their object until Saturday evening last, when Dr. Kitchener took the chair. The feelings-which had dictat ed the suspension Of all . proceedings for months, were alike honourable to the Committee ' and due to the high character of the. late Mr. Kemble ; and we are happy to find that the cause had benefited by the postponement. The chief business .tranaaguaii, was ..the Taming , ota.rcsolution .for holding a pliblte dinner, in February ileXt, at.whieh nearly the, wit*. of the prom fessional talent in town will attend, for the purpOiie of giving many of Dibdin's most favourite sonp, fill 4 on that occasion the model of the monument is tribe exhibited. _ . . Among the subscriptions already announced, there were se veral that spoke .volumes--" All 01(1...Admiral, 101. Ws." "One who acknowled.'es the service which Dibdin rendered to the British Navy, 10 " A Jack Tar, all his' Rhino, but me et an end," IL Is. besides, others equally pertinent. Dr. KITCiIEXi n announced, that as. he possessed the very singular piano-fbrte on which Mr. Dibdin• used to perform in the year 1788, when whole . audiences were gratified by his ex elusive talent, and time construction of which was highly cu. rioui, he could not put, it to a better use than in rendexing it subservient to the object which the Meeting had in view. Ile therefore begged to present it to the Committee, as a subscrip tion, leaving it them to dispose of the '‘est advantage. • It was eventually decided, that the hiStrument kbould be used at the public dinner, previous to the sale taking place. • The names of the Stewards already appointed were then an nounced, and comprised several of the Nobility, end most of the leading characters in the Musical - and dramatic professions, which, we presume, will be officially announced. The Comniitte having resigned the arrangements for the pub licilinner into the hands of the stewards, adjourned... • , We are happy to find' that justice, however tardy it may be, is at length likely to be done to the memory of one wilt., we have no hesitation in saying, rendered the most extensi", and almost incalculable, services to the British empire. IVO one can hear his songs without acknowledging their superiority; and we doubt whether every ship's company, and every con. vivial meeting, will not feel it imperative to promote a collec tion of mites towards'an object so creditable to each indiVidual who may subscribe. D EATII nv EXC ESN! VE Duulluria.-7-Yesterday an Imptisition was taken, at the Westminster Infirmary, Poland-street, Oxford-street, on the . -body of Ba r th o lo mew Murphy.----John Robinson, of 22, St. Martin's-lane, deposed, that on Friday afternoon, about half-vast four o'clock, he was drinking with some frends in the tap-room of the Princess Charlotte public-house, Swallow -court, Oxford-street, when the deceased came in ; he appeared to be a bricklayer; he was much intoxicated; he sat down on one of the benches, and leaned back agaitist the wall; he appeared incapable of speaking, from his extreme drunkenness. The deceased did tun call for any beer or liquor to drink. Witness did not,• take any further notice of him till a light was brought into the tap-room when he observed, that he was lying Hi length on the bench, with his face downwards. Witness - lifted .him up; his hands were very cold, and he appeared. dead, Other per sons present being of the same opinion, surgical assistance, was instantly sent for in the intermediate time vinegar and other restoratives were applied to the nostrils and temples of the de ceased, but without reatoring any animation.—By a Juror. How long had the deceased been in the pal - aura you describe previous to your lifting him up ?--It must have been above 20 Minutes.— Mr: John Baylis, landlordofthe Princess Charlotte public-house, on being sworn, stated, that he had known the deccuaed for seven or eight months ; dpring which time he had frequented his house. He was a bricklayer by trade, and in easy circum stances. The deceased drank his glass freely, but was by no means an habitual drunkard: On the day in question witness was called from the bar by the last Witness, who said that he feared the deceased was dead. Witness, on going into the tap room, and looking at the deceased, was of the same opinion ; and Mr. Maudsley, the surgeon, was sent for. Mr. J. Matta's ley, of Prinees-street, Hanover-square, stated, that on Friday last, about 5 O'clock, he was sent for by the lait witness to attend the deceased. Witness immediately went. The deceased was sitting in an armchair in the tap-room ; he was quite dead, but warm. Witness had no hope, but to give satisfaction he opened a vein .in both arms, but only a few drops of blood. issued. The . jugniar vein WaXalso opened, and violent Medi cines were poured down his throat, but he could not swallow. All attempts to restore life were ineffectual. Witnesa is of opi nion that the deceased died from the rupture of a bloo&Vessel on the brain, caused by -his head being lower than the rest of his body while lying on the bench.—Verdict, "that the deceased died from the rupture of a blood-vessel on etl2 brain, caused by excessive intoxication." He was forty years of age.

The novelty of holding an Assize so near the Metropolis as Iforsemonger-lane, attracted a great number of idlers to the Surrey side of the water yesterday morning, to see. the ceremony of th e Sheriff* meeting the Judges, which forms so important an event in every country Assize town. The Judge, Mr. .Justice Faux, left his house this morning to open. the Surrey Winter Assize, and was met in th e Waterloo-road by TURNER, Esq., the High Sheriff; who received him with a flourish of trumpets. The Judge having quitted his own carriage for that of the High Sheriff; the procession was formed to conduct his Lordship to the Court. A number of peace-officers led the way, and were followed by twelve javelin men, dressed in the livery of the High Sheriff. The empty carriages of the Judges l'Anic and HOLROYD, and fifteen Gentlemen's carriages, came next, and the whole proceeded to Horsemonger-lane Sessions-House, where the Commission for holding the Assize was opened. The Judge, the Sheriff; and other officers, then. proceeded in the same state to hear Divine Service.atS‘ Mary's Church, Newington, where a ser mon was preached by the Rev. Dr. ONSLOW, the Rector. Mr, Justice. PARR returned from church to the Court at half past one, and took his seat on the Bench. The list of names of the County Magistrates was then called over, conmencing with that of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK. Those gentlemen who answered to their names were invited, as usual, by the Judge, to dine with him this evening at six o'clock. The roll of the Grand Jury was then called over,. and the first twenty-three who appeared were sworn. Sir Tit es. Sr nuTT °sr,. k'oreman. Mr. Kw A Pr. next proceeded to read the proclamation against vice,' profaneness, and immorality. The following is an abstract of the calendar :-1 child mur der, 3 maliciously stabbing, 1 manslaughter, 1 arson, 5 bur glary,- 2 house-breaking, 7 highway robberyB horse stealing, 1 sheep stealing, 46 l arcen y, 12 poaching, 11 assaults and other misdemeanours. Total, 98. Mr. Justice llor.noyn not being perfectly recovered, from his late indisposition,did not attend this day, but his Lordship is expected to assist in trying prisoners to-morrow. For the convenience of the Learned Judge a temporary Court has been fitted up in the room usually appropriated for the deliberations of the Grand Jury. Though small; the apartment is sufficiently adapted for the purpose intended. About two o'clock the Grand Jury began to bring in bills. The only case of interest tried to-day was the following HIGHWAY RONDTRY. George Masan, John Williams, and I'M Winn 011 edge, were indicted for assaulting William Lucas on the King's highway at Betchworth, on the 6th of October last, putting him in fear, and forcibly stealing from his person a metal watch, three gold sovereigns, and about six shillings in silver. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecution. The facts proved by the several witnesses called for the prosecu tion were these :—The prosecutor was a labouring man, living at Betchworth. On the tith of October he had occasion to go to Reigate for medical advice for some of his family. Ile owed some rent to his landlord, who lived at the latter place, and took with him about N. 6s. in money, composed of three sore reigns and the roNt in shillings and sixpences. A fair wns held at Betchworth on the day in question. Not finding his landlord at home, he was returning towards Betchworth about nine in the evening. his way lay over some common fields near Betchworth, and when be got into the fields three men stopped him, and said they would have his money. Before he could make any reply, they threw him down, stopped his mouth, and pulled his hat over his eyes. They hurt him con siderably on the back of his head and shoulders by squeezing him with their hands, and made his nose bleed. having over come him in this manner, they rifled his pockets of his watch and money, and then went off. Subsequently the prisoners. were diicovered to have been the robbers; and the Jury being satisfied with the evidence adduced, found the prisoners Guilty— Death. HUG 11 COURT OF JUSTICIARY. EDINBURGH, DEC. 23. The Court met this morning, at the usual hour, when Catherine Paterson was brought to the bar, accused of the murder of Margaret Baird, or Dunlop, in her own house, on the South Bridge, on the night of the 11th, or morning of the 12th of August last, by inflicting on her head and body certain wounds, of which she died on the 14th of October fol lowing. The indictment contained another charge, namely, that of assaulting, striking, and maiming the smelt] argaret Baird, and severely wounding her, to the great effusion of her blood, and imminent danger of her life. Paterson pleaded Not • It appeared from tha evidence..that op the !light in giostion, a number of men and women were in Ilaird's house, which natericaurone, on the South 13rifige, with an entry from Niddry-street ; that a quarrel took phiee among the women, several of whom were drunk ; and after much gross and ahu. sive language, they bad recourse to blows. The prisoner Paterson, in a paroxysm of rage and passion, dashed se veral culinary articles through a window, by which the kitchen received a borrowed light from Mrs. Baird's bed. room. In this lied-room Baird and two other women were standing at the time, and the former was first struck on the side by a tea-boiler thrown by Paterson, and afterwards cut on the cheek by a waali•liand basin. Paterson after this sallied from the kitchen, armed with a smoothing iron, and meeting Mrs; Baird in the passage, struck her a bl o w w ith i t , w hi c h laid open her skull. The police were called in, , who disarmed the prisoner, and took the whole party to the police.ollice. Mrs. Baird's wounds were there dressed by the surgeon of the establishment, and she was sent back to her house, the other women being next day sentenced, to '3O day's' confinement in Britiewell for rioting and fighting. Dr. Black, the police surgeon, visited Mrs. Baird the next day, and although he thought the wound was not dangerous, urged her to go to the Royal Infirmary, where it would have been carefully treated. She, however, neglected this advice, and continued for some time to carry on her disgraceful occupation, and in the use of spirituous liquors, to which she was much addicted. About a fortnight before she died, it was proved she had a ball in her house, and was drunk, and danced herself on the occasion. Several of her cronies, who had undergone their punishmept in Bridewell, visited. her afterwards, and found her in app aren t good health, though still complaining of the wound in her h ea d. Ten days before her death. Dr. Black again saw her, and found that a slight erysipelas, or inflammation, had taken place, which gradually became worse, and *as followed ify de. lirlum and death. Erysipelas might have taken place without the blow ; but if there was any risk attending the wound, in dulgence in intoxication, or other irregularities, was certainly the very worst treatment which could have been given to it. After the evidence, the Lout ADVOCATE. gave up the charge of murder as ho hadnot been able to connect the de a th of the woman with the blow previously given, so closely as to ask. the jury for a verdict on this charge. He, however, con tended that the minor charge in the indictment was sufficiently established in evidence. The Jury, after being addressed by the LOUD JUSTICE CLEAN, and without retiring from their box, founts the prisoner Guilty of the assault libelled, ;Ind she was thereupon sentenced to seven years' transportation. _ . 7 DEOEMIIER 24. AtoRIVA .tt OHRE RY.--John. Douglas, accused of attacking and assaulting James Anderson, and of robbing him, on theist of September, of a silver hunting watch, with a riband and key, and Ws., in a lane at the east end of Portubello, on the high road to Musselbordi was found Guilty, but recommended - to mercy by the jury. In discharging the Jury, the Loan JusTrcs Ci.saix re. marked, that they ought to have said on what grounds their re commendation was Inade,cor neither he nor thu other members of the Calla saw any support to it: lard Gt Li, IE 8, in proposing the judgment o f t h e C ourt, sa i d, that the necessary and inevitable consequence of the verdict which hail been given, left the Court no alternative but that of pronouncing the last awful punishment of the law. It was knoWn to the Court, though the Jury knew nothing of the fact, that the prisoner had formerly been convicted, and the Royal mercy had already been extended to him in consequence of an informality in the written verdict upon a former trial. Ile had already heard the awful sentence of the law'pronounced against him, and this only proved the great difficulty -of reclaiming those who wandered into the paths of vice. Within the short space of two years this man had twice appeared at the bar in the same situation. The LORDJtrSI lon ay:Mt.—John Douglas, you have, after a patient investigation, by a most inteligent Jury, been found guilty of a henious crime. lam sorry that from the circum stances which have already been noticed 'by my Learned Bre thren on the Bench, to gay, that it is nty duty to announce to you that your fate may be considered as waled.
