Yesterday the Recorder made his Report to his Majesty of the undermentioned prisoners under sentence of death in the gaol of Newgate, viz. :—Charles Cockett, 20 ; Wash , ington Yarrold, 18 ; Edith Taylor, alias Rugg, 42 ; Thos. Waters, 18 ; Joseph Backhouse, 24 ; John Davis, 22—bur glary.—Edward Thornett, 2l—robbery,—James Green acre, 42, murder. To all of whom his Majesty has been graciously pleased to extend his Royal mercy except to James Greenacre, who is left for execution on Tuesday next, the 2d of May. The Ordinary, as soon as the order for tho execution of Greenacre was received at Newgate, went, accompanied by the Governor, to the room in which the prisoner is confined, for the purpose of communicating the result. Greenacre was writing at the time at the table at which he bad been sitting placidly most of the day. Upon seeing the Ordinary with a paper in his hand, with the black seal attached, be rose from his seat, but without appearing to be at all agitated or disturbed. The Ordinary said, as is the custom on occasions of the kind, " The Recorder has made his report to the King, and I am sorry to inform you that it is unfavourable to you." VICE CHANCIaL OR' S COURT, ArRIL 26. OWDEN V. CAMPBELL. Mr. KNIGHT,'OII the part of the defendants, took a pre liminary objection to the further hearing of Alijis cause in the present state of the record. This was a bill.by a husband and wife in respect of the wife's separate property. The defendants were apprehensive the decision Of:the Court, if it were against the wife, would not be a conauSiye bar to another suit, in which she might appear by her,next friend. This suit was, in truth,' her husband's suit. - The interests of the (!efendants required that she should sue apart from her husband, by bernest- friend,, and, in a suit so framed her interests would be bound. EAST INDIA HOUSE, APRIL 25, 1837. ,MHE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY de hereby give notice, That tho TRANSFER BOOKS of the said COMPANY'S STOCK will be SHUT on TUESDAY, the 6th of June next, at Three o'clock, and OPENED again on Tuunsnov, the 20th of July, 1837.

WILLIAM MORGAN, Secretary. 2, L ime -street-square, March 8, 1837. JAMES C. MELVILL. Secretary. Mr. JACOB insistedthe.objection was not tenable. Her tusband was, in fact, her next friend. His HONOUR would take an opportunity of consulting the Lord Chan ce ll or as t o it h e na t ure o f hi s d ec i s i on i n that case. Should he allow the objection, it was not a nc cessary consequence that the suit should be dismissed. Some means might be adopted to make the suit - conclusive against the wife.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHI BITION of the SOCIETY of PAINTERS in WATER COLOURS at their GALLERY, PALL-MALL EAST BAIL COURT. KITCHENER V. ASKILL. Greenacre—lt cannot be helped—l am sacrificed through prejudice and falsehood. The Ordinary expressed a hope that Greenacre would occupy the period between the moment the communication was made, and the time of execution, in earnest and hearty prayer. Greenacre—Nothing but inward prayer will suit my con dition.. I have a confidence in the mercy of God, and will trust to that. I care not a pin for death ; but I abhor the thought of going out of the world branded as a wilful mur derer. I committed no murder. Mr. WIIITEIIIIRST moved to set aside the verdict in this case. The. defendant, a cotton-spinner at Nottingham, had his 'premises robbed . of property to a considerable amount. He offered a reward , of 201. for the discovery of the robber. The plaintiff, a small shopkeeper in the place, gave infor mation pointing out a particular person, and appointing to meet the defendant with the party in question •in a wood, not far distant. The defendant accordingly went there, accompanied by an officer, anTboth the inforniantrrntt - the delinquent were taken into custody. On the trial the lat ter was acquitted, but the plaintiff, nevertheless, brought his action for the amount of the reward. The sheriff's jury gave a verdict in his favour. The Learned Counsel now moved to have this verdict set aside, on the ground that the plaintiff could not be held to be entitled to the amount, the person accused not having been convicted.—Rule nisi granted.

The Ordinary then handed a book of prayer to him, and called his attention most earnestly to it. Greenacre cast his eye over the book, and said, " I can't attend to those long prayers. I must look to inward prayer for relief. All prayers from the heart are short, as God be merciful to me a sinner.' Oh ! I should think nothing of death, but for the horrible stigma on my name for ever." The Ordinary—The blood of unfortunate•woman is on your bands, for it was by your means she came to her death.

It is not a little extraordinary that the Horticulturists of this king dom have had as yet no Journal to advocate their interests, or sup port their claims, for no class was ever better calculated to support a Journal, or occasionally more required its advocacy. -We speak of Gardeners as scientific men—men who not only take an interest in the cultivation of the earth, but in genoral are reading men, calcu lating men, and, from the very nature of their profession, thinking men ; nor does it alter our position if we take all the grades of Gar deners. The Duke of Devonshire is a Gardener; for though he does not necessarily dig the ground, nor plant his own cabbages, he pays others for doing the labour and attending to his garden, rons his head-man downwards, and takes an extraordinary interest in the results. Again, the poor man that cultivates a rod of ground is a Gardener and takes as much pride, or as muc h interest in his avo cation as the most wealthy ; in fact, every body who takes an inte rest in a flower, or a vegetable, and studies its progress, is a Gar dener. Gardeners exist in all stations, from the labourer to the prince, just as the poorest soldier in the ranks is a soldier, as well as all above him, up to the Duke of Wellington ; in fact, as Mr. Hud son says or sings, " We're all Gardeners." The sort of Journal re quired, is one containing news of every thing that passes ; notices of all the new plants, constant reports of proceedings of all meet ings; systematic exposure of all evils ; censure of all abuses ; and above all things, when other interests are advancing at the expense of Gardening, a bold and uncompromising defence until the tide is turned, and, if necessary, an attack on its enemies afterwards. All these are essential. Turnpike Bills, the Tithe Question, Taxes, regulations for importing Foreign pro duce, and many other ques tions, have, may, and will again arise for the exercise of the whole strength and influence of a Journal ; and the superiority of a weekly_ over a monthly publication requires no comment. Had there been such a Journal in tho days of alarm, when the malicious re port that vegetables were injurious to health and promoted Cholera was spread abroad, the gross delusion could have been dispelled in a few days, instead of operating in the ruinous abstinence of the pub lic for months, destroying thousands of pounds worth of business, and reaching all the classes, from the grower to the consumer. The announcement of two such Journals threatened to split the science into two parties, and, what is worse, to double the expense of making any thing public ; for as, in all probability, one or the ether would find its way into the hands of every ens interested in any branch of Horticulture, and neither of the Journals much more than half, whatever it might be desirable to advertise, must have appeared in both ; and it is impossible not to foresee many other disadvantages. Happily, by an arrangement between the parties, the united strength of both will now be devoted to one Newspaper only, and this can be transmitted by the ordinary Post free of ex pense. Advertisements inserted will reach every Town and Vil lage in the Kingdom, and if we do not greatly underrate the classes who delight in Horticulture, from the highest to the lowest, there will scarcely be found one who does not, in the eourse of the week, peruse the Gardener's Gazette. The Newspaper will give a faithful record of all great political events abroad and at home, but it will not venture to give a political opinion of its own. Where a question is sufficiently important to deserve it, the most talented article that shall have appeared during the week on each side shall be inserted, that the readers may be well acquainted with the subject, and the name of the papers in which they have appeared shall be quoted. But when a question which affects the interests of any branch of Horticulture or Agricul ture may be agitated, the Gardeners' Gazette shall be foremost in the field, and not the least effective. ' It remains only for the Gardeners—we repeat again—from the Duke downwards, to do their duty by their Gazette, as faithfully as the Gazette will do its duty by them, and some of these duties the Proprietors will, in all modesty, venture to point out :- 1. The Nobility and Gentry throughout the kingdom should pro vide their Gardeners with it, free of expense. 2. The Gardeners who may not be so supplied, should order _it nevertheless, and being practical men, should, whenever they have an opportunity, supply original papers on the cultivation, manage ment, and propagation, &c., of plants, descriptions of new ones, &e. &c. _ S. The Secretaries of Horticultural Societies should exhort all their members to order it, advertise all their shows in it, and supply immediate returns of the prizes awarded at such shows (which re turns will be gratuitously inserted as News), and communicate whatever may be deemed useful information. 4. The members of such Societies who take in a weekly paper, should immediately order their Newsmen to change it for the Gar dener's Gazette ; such as do not take a Sunday paper, and cannot well afford it, should induce three or four others to join them. 5. Nurserymen should not only order it for their own guidance, for which it will be as necessary as their own stock-books, but they should also inform every customer of the advantages of possessing in a Newspaper a record of every thing that is passing in the Horti cultural and Agricultural world. 6. Nurserymen and dealers in every thing appertaining to horti culture, floriculture, arboriculture, farming and gardening, should adopt the Journal as the means of publishing their Advertisements, which, whether lists of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, seeds, or de scriptions of tools, implements, machines, or of land, farming stock, or erops,—Auctioneer s catalogues, farms, houses or gardens to let, or any other subject, can thus be placed in a single week in the hands of every body at all interested in them. We will just apprise Gardners cf all ranks that the expense of conducting the Gardener's Gazette will exceed two thousand pounds per annum : and that as the surplus on each Newspaper, beyond the cost of the stamp and paper, is one penny only, it re quires ten thousand copies per week to be sold to meet this ex pense, and of which number at present little more than five thou sand are ordered ; much, therefore, remains to be done before the next year. Orders for the regular delivery of the Gardener's Gazette may be given to any Newsman or Clerk of the Road in the country, any Newsman in London and in the want of either of these being in the neighbourhood, of a person who may require it, a letter (post paid) to the Editor, care of Westley and Clayton, 162, Piceadilly, and 7, Windsor-court, Strand, will insure the delivery by post en Sunday mornings. Books, prints, plants, flowers, implements seeds, tze. for notice, newspapers containing reports, orders for advertisements, original articles, and every other communication for the Editor, may be forwarded as above. Where the articles are worth the carriage and postage, of course it is not expected that it should be paid by the sender ; but in all matters of inquiry or orders the communication must be postage and carriage free.

Greenacre in his numerous addresses to the public to endeavour to enlist their sympathy through the medium of the publication of his life, and his letter to Lord John Russell, &c., &c. ; in the former representing himself a most amiable character, made of the tenderest materials of human nature, while in the latter he r epresents himself as the most persecuted of human beings ; but the following facts which we have been furnished with from undoubted authority, will show what credit is to be given to all his previous statements. About CO years ago Greenacre's 'mother was married to a respectable farmer in Norfolk of the name of Towler ; two families immediately came to reside together. Of the Grecnacres there were seven, and Mr. Towler had but a son and a daughter. Old Towler, as he was commonly so called, was a very conscientious man, and took as much care of the Greenacrcs as if they were his own family, and on James Greenacre being about nineteen veers of age, about 25 years since, be wrote to a friend who was a respectable tailor in the west end of the town, and to whom his son . was apprenticed, to look out for a business that he,might purchase for young Greenacre. His friend promised compliance ; at the same time he observed that he thought him too young. The old man said, " Oh, by no means, you will find ho is sharp enough." It was net !Ong until an opportunity presented itself in the goodwill of a house in the grocery line in Westminster, quite close to Astlej's Theatre. Old Towler's friends immediately en tered into a negotiation for the purchase-of it, and having agreed upon the terms, he wrote to old Towler to come up to town, and perfect the agreement. After the nego ciation was concluded, Greenacre was heard to say, that if be could get the lease moderate in his own name, he would snap his fingers at the old man. His friend, on hearing this, took care to get the assignment made out in old Towler's name. The old man subse quently arrived in town, and the agreement was per fected, and young Greenacre was put into possession. There was then a most prosperous grocery business attached to the concern, and there was a very sure prospect of success. Being unmarried, and in want of a housekeeper, old Towler sent his only daughter Miss Betsey Towler, who was then about sixteen years of age, and who has since been married and settled in Norfolk, to keep house for Greenacre. It was not long after her arrival in town when Greenacre began to make 'overtures to her of a most base kind ; she, however, spurned them, and got a young female in the neighbourhood to sleep with her for protection. Greenacre then pretended that the house was haunted, and used to hide himself under the young girls' bed, in order to terrify her companion at least. Finding that no persuasion or intreaty would do, he made a forcible' attempt on lliss Towler, who success fully resisted, and took refuge in the house of her fa ther's friend, and where her brother was apprenticed. Her father's friend immediately wrote to old Towler to come up to town, and on hearing the circumstances, the old man got so incensed at the conduct of Greenacre, that he immediately went to the house ho had put him into for the purpose of turning him out, which, on Greenacre per ceiving, he shut up the shop and barred up the windows, and it was with the utmost difficulty that old Towler and his friend got in at the back premises. On their getting possession the stock was immediately sold out, and Green acre sent adrift. Attributing the frustration of his villany to old Towler's friend and the master of his son, Tom Tow ler, who was then a very fine lad, he ingratiated himself into the Youth's confidence for the purpose of indulging his revenge, and he prevailed on the unfortunate lad to summon his master to Bow-street office for not teaching him his trade, but employing him in culinary duties. The parties attended before the late Sir Richard Birnie, and`the youth' being sworn, stated that he was not sufficiently instructed in his trade. In answer to the charge, his master produced a pair of small clothes made by the lad, and every gentle man on the bench declared nothing could be better executed. Sir Richard'Birnie asked the youth (who admitted that he made the small clothes) what could have induced him to summon his master? The poor boy hung down his head, and made no reply. His master turned round and said to Sir Richard that he could account for it, as it was owing to the scoundrel that stood at his elbow (Greenacre) ; a better. lad never was. Sir R. Birnie immediately de sired Greenacre to be put out of the office, which 'was accor dingly done. The unfortunate young lad was taken home by hii master, and, as usual, treated as one of the -fa mily. When on the subsequent Sunday in the evening, he went to hear a sermon at a chapel in Great Queen-street, on his return home he rushed into the presence of his mas ter and family, and threw himself on his knees and solicited their forgiveness for the perjury. which he had committed at Bow-street. He feared that God would not, as the sermon which he had heard at the chapel gave -him but little hopes. His master .and family did everything in their power to tranquilise his mind, but all was in vain ; such was the impression the circumstance made en his mind, that reason fled, and he was obliged to be put under controul until his father was written td, who came up to town and removed his son, who did not survive, and died a maniac. Our in formant was the friend of Towler, the master of the unfor tUnate Toni Towler, and the protector of his sister, and who has now retired to enjoy an independenee gained by industry and rectitude, He never saw Greenacre' after wards, but he heard he had settled in the Kingsland-road. But seeing the prints of him about town he at once re cognized him as the step-son of old Towler, and the Green• acre to whom poor young Towler's miserable fate was to be attributed. Letters from Rome of the 1 April announce the death of Cardinal Weld, on the previous day, at the age of 64 years. " His Eminence" was the only En g lishman who who has worn the scarlet hat for a very considerable time. It is also asserted in the same letters that the English Govern ment has consented, at the instance of the Roman and Aus trian States, to expel from the island of Malta the political refugees who lately took shelter there. A considerable failure had taken place in Konigs berg, amounting to 80,000 dollars, which is likely to be tel lowed by ser i ous co nsequences, both in that c ity an d M am el. It is expected that a dividend of five per cent. will be realized. A corn speculation had been unsuccessful at Dantzic, involving a loss of 13,000 dollars. It is a remarkable fact that the managers of four out of five of the large American hou..es in this country are native Americans. In some parts of the country, the practice long nown in \V&es of feeding- cattle on crushed furze, has been sorted to with great stteeeti, This case came before the Court to-day, on an argument 'on a special demurrer to one of the pleas. The action was brought for the breach of a contract of sale, and the decla ration stated that on the 26th of October, 1835, it was agreed that the ,plaintiffs should sell to the defendants and the defendants buy of the plaintiffs a certain cargo of good merchantable Galipoli nil, to be brought by the vessel Foilunal then on her voyage to Falmouth or Plymoutb, ,and consisting of 240 casks, containing 901 measures of Galipoli oil ; and it further alleged as the breach of that contract that the defendants had refused to accept the bill . of lading and re ce i ve th e cas k s o f o il. To that declaration the defendants pleaded several pl:!as, and amongst them the one demurred to, which set up as a ground of defence that the casks were badly seasoned, and not fit and proper casks for the purpose. To that there was a special demurrer, on the grounds that it did not put in issue any matter of fact alleged•in the declaration—that it did not show that the sufficiency of the casks was warranted in the agreement— and that if it were intended to set up any custom, that custom ought to have been expressly alleged. Mr. MAULE, for the defendant, supported the plea. The COURT gave judgment Nisi for the_ defendants, in timating at the same time its intention to hear Mr. Crowder. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, APRIL 26. WILSON AND AtiOTHER V. EDWIN lIARTHOP. This was an action to recover the amount of 21 bill of exchange for 3001. Messrs. Jonathan Bartrop, Son, and Haliday, carried on the business of woolstaplers at Wake field, in Yorkshire. Jonathan Bartlirop and his son died ; and Haliday, who was the surviving partner and executor, carried on the business under the old name till the affairs were wound up. The defendant, who carried on business on his account also, was employed by Haliday as his clerk to conduct the business of the firm, Haliday himself being constantly there, and exercising superintendence. The defendant drew the bill of exchange in question, and got it discounted at plaintiffs' bank in Wakefield. It was signed " Jonathan Burthrop and Son." When the time for taking uri the bill expired it was proposed to replace it by another bill drawn at a longer date, which plaintiffs re fused, -and brought the present action, which was tried be fOre Lord Abinger at the, Middlesex sittings after last Term, when plaintiffs were nonsuited, on the ground that the bill Purporting to he drawn by the firm, and by authority, the defendant was not personally liable. A rule to set aside this nonsuit, or rule nisi for a new trial, was subsequently obtained by Mr. Noggins, against which Mr. KNOWLES this day showed cause, contending end the defendant was not personally liable. • Mr. HOGGINS supported the rule. The COURT would take time to consider of their judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.HOUSE. Three boys, named Wilcox, Hobson, and Ogee, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having com mitted a burglary in the house of Mr. Lilly, tallow-chand ler, Bishopsgate-street. This case furnished a most de plorable instance of the profligacy of the children who in fest the streets of the city.. The premises of Mr. Lilly, who appe,ared at the Justice room to endeavour to save the wretched children from utter ruin rather than as a prosecutor, were broken into and entered at the window by Wilcox, who is about_twelve years of age, assisted by Ogee, who is about eleven, and Hobson, who is little more than ten. The boys contrived to steal a pair of scales and a chain, the only portable article they could lay their hands upon, and those they broke up into small pieces and sold as old copper to a Mrs. Griffiths, who keeps a marine store shop in-Red Lion-street. The three boys are well known as " pitch and toss covies ;" and Ogee is, in particular. so notorious that whenever a report is zibroad that a burglary has been committed, there is an immediate cry of" Ogee has cracked a crib." The LORD Mavoa, althmigh numbers of boys. have been brought before him for various offences, was neverthe less surprised at the appearance of these children on such a serious charge, and sent for the woman who had purchased the broken scales for the sum of 2s. Mrs. - Griffiths, with a low courtsey, said that she hap pened to be out at the time the goods were purchased at her shop, but she produced a young woman, who candidly declared that, as shopwoman to a dealer in marine stores,- • she bought - everything of the kind from any person who offered it for sale ; but she alway's asked the seller where he got the brass or copper, or whatever stuff it might be., Mr. Lilly said that the scales could not lye replaced for less than a pound. Luckily nothing valuable had been left on the part of the premises into which the boys had made their way. The officer who apprehended the'prisoriers said that Wil cox, who poked himself through the pane, stated, - upon being apprehended, that he au :di hi.; business at Mrs. Griffiths's, and that he was just about to become a lodger of her's. • - The LORD MAYOR—HC would have been a profitable logger to you, Mrs. Griffiths. • Mrs. Griffiths—Oh dear me,•no sick a thing, my Lord. I'm the mother of children myself, and I loves 'em and takes particler care they're all honest. I warn't at hoMe when the stuff was sold. The Loan MAYOR—Where are your books ? You are obliged to put down all those things. Mrs. Griffiths— Please you, my Lord, I can't write a word, God help me, and it ain't long since I lost my husband. I'm Very much to be pitied, nty Lord. The LORD MAYOR—flow could von think of buying such things from these poor boys? You must have known that a robbery .bad been cono.itted. Mrs. Griffiths—Me ! oh, never, my Lord. I siever buys anything but a few but tons from them. The daughter of Mrs. Griffiths—Please you, my Lord, might I speak? Ido assure you, my Lord, that its my opi nion my mother is a most honest woman as ever was ; but this is a dangerous business, a very dangerous business, please ' you, my Lord. I think she'd better get out of the line. The Loan MAYOR—So I think, or she'll be the means of getting poor children into a line. Mrs. Griffiths (curtseying)-1 11 go out of the marines stores line, My Lord, as you advise it ; for I do think that its no credit to nobody. Please you, my Lord, it's too bad to be always at the mercy of bits of brats like these here. Why don't people keep their children at home, as I does mine, and give them a good education ? The LORD MAYOR—I shall consider whether I shall not order proceedings against you, Griffiths ; and for these poor boys, as the evidence is not strong enough to convict them, I shall remand them for the purpose of inqUir; ing whether it is not possible to save them from such temp tation as people like you hold out to them.

On Friday evening last, while et tea in tha parlour, she thought that she tasted something unpleasz:nt in it, and called up Ann May, who had made it, to ques tion her on the subject, but she said that she rinsed'out the tea-pot before making the tea, and added that her mis ress must be mistaken. The complainant then drank her usual quantity of tea, soon after which she felt a degree of tot-per or drowsines s that she never before experienced, a id caned up the girl t o assist her to bed. On rising from her the sensation still continued, and the girl helped her ty stairs, saving that it was nothing, and that it would soon go off again. The complainant then went to bed, after having desiced Ann May to lock and bolt all the doors, an.l . a!so to fasten the window-shatters, which she said that she had done, and also expressed her intention of going to bed. The com plainant had, however, scarcely got into her bed when she fell fast asleep,.a circumstance that never occurred to . her for years, owing to .an illness under which she labourzd, and which bad the effect of keeping her awake for several hours during the night. On the night in question, bow ever, she never awoke, and when she did at, seven o'clock the next morning she found that her bedroom was open, although she had locked it on the preceding night. Oa looking round the room she discovered that ail the .drawers, cupboards, and trunks had been broken opea and their contents taken. She then looked under her bid steel and discovered. that a large trunk in which she kept her plate had been also forced open, and its contents, consistiag of silver knives, forks, spoons, cruet stands, mugs, and various other articles,st oleo.- She then called tbegirl May, who cattle d o w n stairs from her bedroom, and on being apprised of what had happened and asked if she heard the robbers in house in the course of the night, she said that she bad not, adding that she was surprised at what had occurred. parti cularly as she had made all fast before going to bed. Wh..11 the complainant afterwards went down stairs she ascertained that no force bad been used by the burglars to get into the house .; and as a proof that they must have remained there a considerable time the remnants of food and wine with which they had regaled themselves were found on the par lour table. When Inspector Walters of the P division was . informed of the robbery he went and inspected the pre- - tnises, pad from his examination be was persuaded that the burs must have been admitted into the house, and thi s supposition was strengthened from the fact of a pane of ' glass being broken in the back parlour with a view to make it appear that the entry had been effected by that means. The glass, however, it was evident was broken from within, for all the broken portiOns of the pane were found strewed about on the outside cf the window-ledge. Owing to fur ther inquiries into the case, it was ascertained that the two male prisoners had been seen in the complainant's house by some of the neighbours, and that Clarke in particular was in the habit of sleeping there. In fart, the policemen on duty on the beat frequently called him up in the morning at his request, by ringing the bell, the policeman believing at the time that Clarke either lodged in the house or Was pe-- witted to remain there. The - female prisoner had upon other occasions been seen by a man named Willis to conic to the street door of her mistress's house half undressed at an early hour in the m o rning to let out Clarke. The - boxes and cupboards were all found to have been broken open and robbed in the very room in which Mrs. Onion slept. The prisoners were remanded, and directions were given to request the attendance at the next examination of the chemist who sold thecoculu; indicus to the female resem bling the prisoner May. ATTEMPTED MURDER and DETER- MINED SUICIDE, AT SEA. On Saturday last a dreadful attempt to murder Mr. Robert Reid, the owner of the. schooner Rehear (which arrived yesterday in the London Dock, from Roscoe, in Brittany, with a cargo of cork), was made by James Rider, the Captain of the vessel, who on the same day com mitted suicide, by throwing hiMself overboard. It appears from the statement of the mate and crew, and the entry of. the 'log, that the deceased was a very intemperate m. dn , and while the ship was at Roscoe he drank large quaurities of brandy, which he procured ashore, and when the schooner sailed he was almost unable to direct the navigation of th e vessel. The owner and mate took upon thmselves the command, but as the Captain did not immediately display any symptoms of derangement he was allowed to act, and took the same watches as the owner. The cravings of the Captain for brandy were loud and frequent, an d as the system had become used to the liquid, it was thought prudent by the owner to allow him a glass occa sionally. On Friday last he began to talk in a very inco herent manner, and said be knew the owner and mate were going to murder him, and that the crew had been bribed not to divulge the plot. Mr. Reid endeavoured to pacify him, and directed Mr. Buckingham, the mate, and all hands to keep a watchful eye on the captain, as it was feared that. he meditated some mischief. All hands on board uze'l every efFort to quiet the captain, but without success. Hu became very refractory', and said he-had the horrors through. drinking so much brandy in France. The mate conversed with him a short time, and assured him at he wo u ld soon be well. The unfortunate man, however, was so strongly impressed with the erroneous idea that the crew h a d a de sign upon his life that, to quiet him, a Bible was procured at his request, and the form of an oath was gone through by, owner, mate, and seamen, who kissed the book, amt d e e- dared that they did not intend to do him any injury. Copt. • Rider after this became more calm, and remained below. At midnight, when the watch was relieved, Mr. Reid went beow and turned into his berth in the cabin, the 'captain was in bed on the opposite side of the cabin, and Me. Reid was almost asleep, when he was aroused by Rider, who got up, walked across the cabin, and askedLV ei to giv him a glass of brandy, for the horrors were StP4,;`• - e - - ze e: Mr. - Reid turned out of bed for the purpose 0f44 - 11:4" glass of brandy', and while' stooping, and in tigiet-o-1--na locking a drawer under the cabin table, the' captain- 41 }; . was standing by his side, stabbed him by pluneine a sitar ! pointed knife into the left side of his neek: ee ld, R e i d called out " Murder, murder ;" and the malt immediately.. jumped out - ef bcd, and prevented a seeoritebTon;, was airmer e at Mr. Reid, from taking enee eee- ***-e 4er th en made a blow with the knife at the mate, whol -par — ried it ; and after a severe struggle with his eapteitte..-weested th e in strument from him, and secured him. TheA•ouoct inflicted on the owner Was a -very serious one ; bled profuiely, and it was some time before theltaemorthigo cotilti be - stopped. The owner's wound having beenedeeseed, two men were appointed to watch the captahr,'whese Malady increased ; and during the whole of FrOttY night the 'men had great difficulty in preventing higariiin •aninee further violence. On Saturday morning he+eihn ravieg, and said he ,heard his brothers talking alvngsiitt the ship, and he was sure the vessel was haunted. For the purpose of un deceiving him he was allowed :ttego oudeA for a short time, and he returned to the cabinand wal e more quiet. lie begged of the ()Avner and mate. trot to injure him, or Jet the crew kill him ; and he was assured that no harm should befal him, either on board or ashore ; indeed, every means Were used to compose him. In eubSequent. part 'of th e , day,-he made another attempt cee tii#r the owner with a shut-handled knife he had seetiaca tlhtler hedeand which he had' drawn out u nperceived. He was stealing quietly with the knife towards the owner's bedplace, and was about to plunge it in when one of the men - caught his band, and prevented hiet carrying his intentions into effect. •In the afternoon he was again elloyed to go on deck, for the purpose of removing the itnprorsiim from his mind that the ship was haunted. &bent four o'clock heeteent on deck a third few, the mate and two men keepieg dose to him, and after some time: he went down below again, with two men, the mate remaininon deck. Directly afterwards the mate jumped off a buerthee-of corks, which were piled up a - height of eight feat, beef 'prepeded-towards the helm. The captain no sooner heard is than he jumped up the com panion, and before shapes) •could seize him, threw him self overboard. The stip was -instantly put about for the purpose of saving titer - captain: ; but, singularly enough; 0 t hi s was no s ooner Ilene than the wind 'died away, and it became quite ceits. The captain swam away front the . vessel, and an oar and a bundle of casks were thrOvn towards hitn".'eelie -then made towards the veeeel, and the crew were about-to lower the lone boat ; but, bcfore- 1 1,, r,-.9 this could be done, the uefortunate - tnan sunk, and was not seen again.
