SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS From our Dublin correspondent's letter, and from the Irish papers, it appears that Mr. O'Connell has come—not through any gradual process, nor in conse quence, as it would seem, of any elaborate or deliberate investigation of the subject, serious and thorny though it be, but per saltum in a manner—to a conclusion di rectly opposite to that which he had proclaimed and acted on for many previous years with regard to Irish poor laws. To us, who have been long and earnestly pressing that most important question upon public no tice, it gives unfeigned satisfaction to find that the de clared enemies of such a relief to the destitute poor of Ireland, have at length, from whatever motives, be come sensible to the enormity of their long-cherished error, and have avowed themselves converts to the ne cessity of preserving, no matter at what price, the un fortunate from perishing for want of food.. When men's minds are deeply engaged in the prosecution of any one great political object, they usually confine their attention, as is indeed natural, to the benefits which they hope to be derivable from its attainment. They dwell upon what they expect that it will do for them or for the country ; but when they are reminded of what it will not do for either, they turn a deaf ear, and bid you hold your peace. With all anxiety to see Catho lic emancipation carried, we tever represented that noble measure as aught more than a sine qua non to wards the accomplishment of whatever else might be deemed necessary for the redress of Irish grievances. We knew and felt that the Bill brought in by the Duke of Wellington would neither place the Popish priests on that footing which the peace and we ll-b e i ng of the country required, nor, what was still, if possible, more urgent, did that Bill go a single inch towards improving the relation between the property and the poverty of Ireland—that is, between employers and labourers, and between the landlords and their smal ler tenants. The grand accompaniment of every other Irish evil is the misery of the labouring poor. It was plain that Catholic emancipation would do nothing for that. It would raise the gentry to their just political privileges, but it would not relieve any man from naked ness or hunger. The consequence has been, that poverty in its strict sense—that is to say, the want of absolute necessaries, such as food—not merely that of comforts, as in England—has prevailed among the Irish to a de gree unexampled, we verily believe, in any other Eu ropean region ; for it is not merely in a direct manner that the absence of a well-regulated poor law in Ire land has operated to the continuance of destitution, it is not merely that hunger has not been relieved, but that want in no shape has been prevented. The land lords are not only not compelled by law to give one farthing towards the alleviation of misery where it has already actually overtaken its victim, but they are not warned by the fear of any legal compulsion to avert its occurrence, by the slightest care on their own parts, exercised with a view to the future advantage of their humble neighbours. When the poor candidates for an acre of ground on lease are driven by desperate competition to offer three times the rent that can ever be made of it, what would be the influence of a poor law upon the conduct of the landlord ? He would calculate the rent which a tenant could afford to pay, and select for the occupation of his tene ment the most industrious and reputable hus bandman. Such a landlord must know very well, that the man who promised more than lie could pay could never pay what he promised, and would therefore, in his consequent state of pauperism, become a burden on the parochial poor rates. This would give the landlord an immediate interest in the comfort and independence of the poor about him. The poor man's wages would be raised by it, while his rent would be lowered, and with a s ma ll er nom i na l i ncome t h e pro prietor would be in reality a richer man. But at present the Irish are treated more like beasts of the field than human creatures. They have been stimulated and encou raged by the landlord, while it served his political in terests, to settle as freeholders on the estate. They have multiplied in the midst of privation. At length it was manifest that the lard was overstocked—and what then? Had poor laws existed, the land must still have fed the poor who had been settled on it, after they bad ceased to be its tenants ; but without poor laws, and for want of them, the surplus tenants have been unhoused and banished, without a place to lay their heads in, a rag to cover them, or a potato to cat. Never was such wholesale destitution witnessed in this world. The law gives no redress and no protection. The landlord has exercised, correctly speaking, no more than the right of property secured to him by the barbarously defective condition of the law, and thousands under the vindication of that right have perished. This state of things we have often said must be put an end to; and if Mr. O'Connell follows up the question with a per severance equal to the zeal with which he seems to have opened it, or sees it in the same clear light in which the late Dr. Doyle presented it, we have no doubt that the object will be gained. When it is in contemplation to take a large proportion of its annual revenue from the Church for the benefit of the land lords, it would be too audacious in the latter to reject the supplications of the poor. But Parliament, we hope and trust, will soon entertain that feeling upon the question which humanity and justice inculcate upon a Christian Legislature ; nor should any com plaint be listened to of the sacrifice which such an al teration of the law would entail upon the Irish land lord ; half the rent of his estate would, even considering no interests but his own, be a cheap price for the many direct and collateral blessings thus (morally ensured to society.--- Times. We have the satisfaction of laying before our readers a report of the proceedings at a dinner given at Halifax, on • Saturday, to the Hon. James Stuart Wortley, Member of Parliament for that borough. These proceedings, which would have been important at any time, are invested with additional importance at the present moment, when the representation of the populous and wealthy district in which Halifax is situated is the object of a vigorous contest ; and when the brother of the sensible and spirited Gentleman in honour of whom the dinner at Halifax took place is the candidate for the West Riding of York, who re presents the Conservative feeling of the district, and whe nobly stands forward, in the face of great diffi culties and disadvantages, for the support of the Church and the Monarchy of Great Britain. It is impossible to read the report of the Halifax meeting without associating it with the great cause for the maintenance of which the whole West Riding of the county of York is at this moment in active, and we trust effective, motion ; and we refer our readers to this report, in the conviction that they cannot fail to gather from it a new and exhilarating confidence that the good cause in Yorkshire is power ful, and promises to be triumphant. The speech of Mr. James Stuart Wortley is entitled to attention, as it presents us with a distinct view of the character of the late Administration and of the present ; and en ables us to judge of the probability that the electors of the West Riding will show by their votes which set of Ministers are entitled to the preference in the minds of an enlightened people. The question upon which the electors of the West Riding of York have now to make up their minds—the question submitted, not to them only, but to the whole British people—was never more ably nor more dispassionately stated than in the speech of the Honourable Member for Hali fax. That question is simply whether the Whigs have earned a title to the gratitude and confidence of the nation, by preventing the reforms which Sir Robert Peel had announced, which he and his colleagues had well considered, and which, but for the resistance of the Whig-Radical party, with Lord John Russell at its head, they would certainly have been able to effect ; and by substituting for those safe, moderate, and at tainable reforms, projects of alarming and undefined innovation, to be progressively suggested by the wisdom and enforced by the power of Mr. O'CONNELL—pro jects of which the whole practical result must of ne cessity be limit e d t o t h e pern i c i ous ferment of the public mind which they may be calculated to produce —pro jects which, from their character, their motives, and their source, are already doomed to utter and hopeless failure. We are persuaded that we do not overrate the good sense of the people of Great Britain, when we affirm that upon this question th ere i s very li tt l e difference of opinion among them. A conscien tious and patriotic Opposition, sincerely desirous of improvements in the institutions of a coun- try, will not attempt to displace an existing, Ministry, unless they have attained to a full con viction either that the Ministry wants the will or the power to effect any substantial amelioration of those institutions, or that the reforms which the Adminis tration actually in existence has the will and the power to effect, are of inferior value to those which the Op position meditate, and rationally believe they can ac complish, when they shall have succeeded in forcing their rivals out, and themselves into power. 'The Parliamentary opposition which compels the retirement of an Administration in any other circumstances, may be actuated by ambition, by cupidity, by jealousy, by resentment, but it cannot obtain or expect credit for any regard to the welfare of the country, or any sin cere anxiety for the improvement of its institutions. When tried by this unerring test, there never, per haps, existed in any country a body of Statesmen so little entitled to its gratitude—confidence—or favour —as the present Ministers of the Crown, and the he terogeneous factions which assisted them to eject their predecessors. They must have known, that Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues were at tempting much, and had the power to effect much, of real, substantial, and practical Reform. They must have known also that they and their confederates, of all grades and characters, whatever might be their dis position, could comparatively effect little or nothing. To this disadvantage of their own position, as com pared with that of their political rivals, it is morally impossible that the late Opposition in the House of Commons could have been insensible. What, then, is the unavoidable inference from their conduct ? Is it not that, regarding Reform as a good thing, they re garded the possession of place and power as a much better ? Is it not that they were ready to sacrifice the cause of Reform, which they pretended to prize so highly, upon the altar of their own selfish ambition ? Is it not that all their professions of regard to the interests of the nation were delusive and hypocritical, and that they had chiefly in view the promotion of their own ? " The late Administration," as Mr. "Wortley well and truly observed, " had, in Sir Robert Peel, a man of high resolve and of exem plary conduct ; and the opposition by which he was met in the House of Commons had in it more of artifice and intrigue—more of faction and less of prin ciple—in the proceedings which led to the late melan choly result, than any other upon record. The resist ance to overthrow that Government, arrested the cur rent of regular but effectual improvement, dammed up the reservoir of all useful Reform, and checked the progress of those practical efforts attempted to be car ried into effect by a Minister whose experience was admitted on all hands, and which would have been effective in its operations through all branches of the Legislature. That factious proceeding had pre vented the progress of reforms which would have met the wishes of all classes ; and placed in power men who, in no degree, either for skill or ability, pos sessed the confidence of the people. When I say this, I feel satisfied that you will fully concur with me in the opinion that those now in power do not pos sess the confidence of all the branches of the Legisla ture. The present Government must not, may not, cannot carry the measures which they propose. They shall not, in their own way, do that which the Govern ment that they dissolved would have done less hastily, less violently, but with more safety." This is the plain language of common sense and integrity. It exp resses a sentiment universally entertained by all the Reformers of Great Britain, and operating at this moment upon the minds of all, in exact proportion to the warmth and sincerity of their attachment to the cause of real, practical improvement in the laws and institutions of the country. There is one class of Reformers, indeed, and only one, which can fail to sympathise in the feelings so powerfully expressed by Mr. Wortley. And this is the class of self-styled Reformers, who see no value in any Reform that is not pursued by revolution ary means, and calculated to promote revolutionary purposes. To these alone could the success of the Russell and O'Connell confederacy against Sir Robert Peel have afforded a triumph, but it is a triumph in which the electors of Great Britain will not and cannot participate.—Morning Post. It is abundantly clear from the narrative which we have already given .of the murderous transactions at Keady, that the law for the security of personal liberty in Ireland is a dead letter. The police force, orga nized and paid expressly for the pArpose of protecting that liberty and enforcing the laws, are the first to vio late them. Although a magistrate was upon the ground—an interested one to be sure, whose authority therefore was dempised—nevertheless Thornhill, who led the attack upon the people, never thought of de manding permission from Mr. Blacker before he pro.- yoked a general engagement. Such an idea never entered his head. He went out with a deliberate in tention to assail the Catholics, whether right or wrong ; he was seconded in his thirst for blood by his companions ; and when they found that to their utter disappointment the day was passing off quietly, without any infraction of the peace on the part of the poor peasantry, they originated the conflict themselves rather than that heir prey should escape. Can we who read of these transactions, and reflect upon them for a moment, be astonished, therefore, that the people of Ireland have no respect for the laws ? What is done in that country in tile name of the law, and by the officers appointed to carry it into execution, is not law, but the reverse of it—despotism wholly uncontrolled—the private will of magistrates and constables—the caprice of men with arms ill their hands, invested with official authority, who, if they know anything whatever of the law, or of the general spirit of the British C ons tit u ti on , ta k e good care to place the Irish people beyond the pale of both. He who talks, therefore, of the " barbarous" multitudes of the neighbouring island, should recol lect that it is the magistrates and the police who have made them so, and who will continue to intercept and turn back from the people the blessings of the Constitution, until the entire system of Govern ment in that part of the empire be thoroughly re formed. Mr. Greene states that the Rev. Magistrate Blacker " was not at the scene of action at the com mencement of the affray ; but upon seeing it, rode up quickly, and called out to the police to cease firing." If this be true, it proves that the Magistrate who so improperly took upon himself the responsibility of directing the police, grossly violated his duty by not having been present at the " scene" before the " action" commenced. Wherever the police were, he should have been. If personal cowardice induced him to hide himself behind a rock until the people began to fly before the fire of the police, he assuredly is a most unfit person to hold the King's commission. Indeed the whole of this transaction shows that a degree of courage is required in Irish Magistrates which we cannot always expect to find in a Clergyman, and consequently that it is an unpardonable exertion of power in any Irish Lord Chancellor, to insert in any such commission the name of a Minister of the Gospel. But what are we to think of a police force who, when " not ordered" to fire, nevertheless fire upon their own savage impulse; and then, when commanded to desist, still continue in the illegal and murderous discharge of their arms ? We should like to ask an Englishman what protection the people of Ireland derive from the law, after this ? For, let it be told to Englishmen, and to men of every nation, that the police of Armagh, employed by a priest of the Established Church to collect one pound nineteen shillings of arrear of tithe, which he had never before demanded, not only fired upon the people without the slightest provocation—not only fired without orders. not only fired in violation of orders, after those orders were given—but absolutely discharged musketry upon the people after they began to retreat / Our own inference from the evidence is, that Blacker was present at the " scene" before the " action commenced ;" and that he encouraged the at. tack on the people in the first instance. But in what ever light we view the conduct of this man, whether as a minister of the Church, or a magistrate holding the King's commission—whether skulking behind a rock, or giving his despised mandates to the banditti whom he had brought together to collect his tithe, we should have presumed at all events that when the investiga tion into these transactions took place, he would have been stationed at the bar as one of the parties legally presumed to be implicated in the murder of the man Hughes. But, on the contrary, the name of the Re verend James Steuart Blacker, the clergyman inter- THE -SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 11, 1835. ested in the tithe, the magistrate who had under taken to direct the operations of the police, him self a party in the affray, actually appears as that of one of the justices who sat with Mr. Greene on the bench, and conducted the investigation I The Learned Sergeant must have perfectly well known that nothing could have been more improper than that one of the patties liable at least to be accused, should have sat to try his own case ; but in Ireland this is the practice of the law I Mr. Greene states that " none of the country people who were on the spot had come forward as witnesses. He mentions this fact incidentally as one that did not in the least excite his surprise. In Ireland, unhappily, the people habi tually refrain, whenever they possibly can, from going into Courts of Justice as witnesses ; and for this plain reason, that the individuals on the bench are generally, with the exception only of some of the judges of the superior courts, their most violent enemies. Was it to be expected by any man in his senses, that any of the peasantry who had been engaged in the affray would have come forward to give evidence to a court where the minister of a hostile Church, the magistrate who had led out the police, and who, the people had every reason in the world to think gave orders for provoking them to the murderous combat, was himself upon the seat of justice ? We call upon our countrymen, in the name of religion and the law, to say whether they are prepared, with such facts as these before them, to impose for ever this blasphemy against Christianity, this mockery of the administration of justice, upon Ireland ? Another feature of these transactions discloses a volume of commentary upon the state to which the oppressions of a Church rejected by the people of that country have reduced them. We almost envy the apathy of the man who can read without emotion the following extract from the evidence of Patrick Smith. The simple language of the poor cottager much touch the stoutest heart with compassion for the wrongs of which he is only one out of millions of victims : " I was at home all the morning of the Ist of December : I hold eight acres odd ; I am a tenant-at-will ; I paid the tithe of 1832, 6s. i d. ; there was no demand from me for 1833 ; I saw the police coining up ; I suspected what they were coming for ; I shut the door, because the police were coming.; I locked my barn door; my potatoes were in, they were worth a pound ; there was a padlock on the barn ; I had a cow, a heifer, and a pig out ; one of my sons drove them off from the house ; part of the policemen and drivers came to me ; they asked for no money, but one of the drivers asked me to open the door ; I said I would not ; he then put his shoulder to the door, and opened it ; it was barred inside by the children ; one of the police went in with a driver, and searched the house ; I went after; they took nothing ; there was plenty of pledge, butter, yarn, flax, and potatoes ; they came out, and broke the barn door; they did not ask me to open the barn door ; I said that there was nothing in the barn but po tatoes, arid that there was enough in the house ; they said nothing, but broke open the barn door at once; they took no thing at all out of the house or barn." Here, therefore, is a case where a poor cottager, who owed no tithe, against whom there was no claim what ever, beholds his house and his barn invaded and broken open by a set of ruffians clothed in the garb of officers of the law. An Englishman's house is his castle. If an officer without any legal warrant attempt to force one of our habitations, we presume him to be a robber, and if we choose may shoot him on the spot with the full approbation of the law. If he succeed in effecting an entry, and the owner is overpowered by his violence, the verdict of a jury vindicates the law, and compensates the injured family by exemplary damages. But Smith is a mere Irishman ;"—h6 is without the " pale" of the British Constitution. The thought of bringing an action against the bur glar who so wantonly violated the - security of his " castle," never appears to have entered his head. If we happened to have witnessed this scene, and advised him to appeal to a Court of Justice against so gross an outrage upon all that renders society valu able, or life worth its pains, lie would have desired us to wait in the county of Armagh for a few weeks, and then he would have led us to the court where the Rev. Magistrate, Blacker, by whose authority his house was broken open, was engaged in the duty of admi nistering the law of Ireland in a case where he him self was the principal culprit. The poor man would then ask us by viliat sort of process he could expect to gain justice in Ireland. Englishmen ! have we not reason to blush for our country ? At all events, may we not ask whether it would have been " plunder," " fraud," " iniquity," to take from the priest, who, probably, has not a single member of his congregation in the entire parish of Keady, the sum of 251., which he declared he did not want, and apply it to the education of those children who ought to have been at school, instead of spending their earliest days in learning the most effec tual mode of " barring a door" against the police. If the rising generations 'are to be brought up in this manner—as they must be, if the tribe of Blackers are to be maintained---it is sheer madness to think of pre serving Ireland as a part of the empire. We take it for granted that this clerical violator of the laws is no longer in the commission of the peace ; and we cannot doubt that the policemen who acted on this occasion have been 'all dismissed from his Majesty's service. The inquest returned a verdict that Hughes was mur dered by a policeman unknown. Mr. Sergeant Greene has the courage to assert th a t thi s finding, signed by twenty-three " good and lawful men," is not justified by the evidence. 'We believe that out of Ireland he will not find an unprejudiced man in the King's do minions who reads that evidence to agree with him. We expect that Mr. Perrin will supersede the Orange Sergeant's opinion, and have the murderers tried by their country.—Morning Chronicle. Parliament will soon assemble, and the great sub ject of the moment—the Protestant Church in Ireland —will be brought under its discussion. In the annals of our country has no greater measure ever been con templated ; it is one which, if triumphant, must give a character to the age—in fact, stamp it as an epoch which has given birth to the most transcendant prin ciple of political justice the world has known. Well may an odious and atrocious faction call from their lowest depths their energies to struggle 'against and overcome it ; well may the fiend-intelligence of ty ranny and the arch-intolerance of priesteraft-corrup tion, tremble at discovering in it the herald of free dom and enlightenment, and, consequently, the signs of their own downfall. But it requires no gift of miraculous augury to foresee that the sinister designs of this faction will not succeed. if the champions of the people now in Parliament do their duty, triumph to the cause of liberty and truth is certain ; for the alarums of "No Popery" and " Church in danger," are no longer to be mistaken for anything but what they are—the ignorant bigotries of a demo niacal spirit, not the true inspirations of reli gion. The antiquated fallacy that would link the Church with the State, to preserve the tottering edifice of an unsound system of morals, is no longer in consonance with the wisdom of the age : and mankind have awakened to the truth, that to preserve the vices of a creed is to abolish its virtues ; or, in other words, if religion require outward props to sustain its power, it has lost its inward and only natu ral ones of the heart. The contemplated measure for reform of the Protestant Church in Ireland may effect this —may sever the irrational union between sacer dotal and political government ; but the people are no longer to be led away by the delusion that true reli gion purple w i a l l o i d io t o r b m e i o h o e a n r e e fi t n e e d o o b ss y ar i y t, t o o r a tha n t a t t h io e n p s o v m ir p to o e f . America is before them in proof of the contrary ; and Spain, with its old and ponderous chains of priest-influence and monkish interference in its political system—and even Portugal, worse perhaps than Spain in its imputed sin of ecclesiastical bigotry—are examples in the present day to be cited to the same intent. In both of those countries measures by their respective Legislatures have been introduced, authorising the fullest appropriation of Church property to affairs of the State ; and surely where countries, so long and at the present period under the sway of Popedom, on such, a point may be adduced, it is time that enlightened Britain should be prepared for a similar assertion of intelligence over superstition, and of morality over the errors of a vi tiated polity. On such an occasion, that the cry of " No Popery," and " No O'Connell," should be the watchword of a base and motley fraternity of Peers and Prelates, shows only more forcibly the extremity to which it is driven, and the besotted fanaticism of which it would wake the people the dupes. But let the House qt . Commons adhere to its late resolution, and, in spite of the machinations of its enemies, the country will see the great measure of appropriation carried into effect.—Morning Advertser. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BRAYNE V. LLOYD AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against his bankers, Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., of Manchester, to recover the sum of 3,176 J., the balance of his account in their hands. Defendants had withheld the money owinc , to their having received a notice not to pay it from the assignees of a bankrupt of the name of Seager, on the ground that the sum in question was the property of the bankrupt. Mr. Sergeant ATCHEALEY now showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Colquhoun.—Rule to show cause granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. HODGSON AND ROSS. An application had been made in this case to strike Mr. Ross off the roll of attorneys, for having allowed Mr. Hodgson to practice in his name, and to imprison Mr. Hodgson for having practised without a certificate. Lord DENMAN, in giving the judgment of the Court, said that this Rule must be discharged, because it did not ap pear that the conduct of the defendants had brought them sufficiently within the operation of the 22d Geo. 11., c. 46. Mr. Justice PATTESON RDA I\ll*. Justice COLERIDGE were of the same opinion. —Rule discharged. ADMIRALTY COURT. THE EN EL GROVE SALVAGE. This was a salvage case. The KING'S ADVOCATE and Dr. PHILLIMORE appeared on behalf of Captain Evans and the other officers of the Rhadamanthus, and Dr. BURNABY (with whom was Dr. ADDAMS) appeared on behalf of the owners. Sir JOHN NicHou. wished to look into the cases cited and would not give his opinion on the present occasion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A man named. John Milton was charged with havin assaulted Simpson Jessop, Esq., a Middlesex Magistrate.— Fined ss. Q UEEN- SQUARE. The destruction of the shrubs in St. James's-park, si continues, despite the numerous cautions and the ma persons who have been fined for the offence. On Saturday Mr. Robert Townley, a gentleman residing in Marlborough-place, Kennington-cross, was fined ss. A young man, named William Griffiths, who had com mitted a like offence, was also fined ss. ATROCIOUS CASE OF VIOLATION On Friday last a ruffianly-looking fellow, who gave his name as James Stirling, was brought before the Rev. John Fanshawe, at his house, near Barking, Essex, by Rainbow, a constable, on a charge of violating the person of a widow, named Everett, residing at Stock, near Chelmsford, Essex. It appeared that on the 15th of last month, as Mrs. Everett, who is thirty-five years of age, was returning across the fields between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, from the village of Wrickford to her own resi dence, she was met by a man, who threw her violently down on the footpath, and dragged her clothes over her head, to prevent her from crying out or making a noise, effected his purpose, after which the villain ran away. The poor woman with considerable difficulty reached her home. From the injuries she received her life was for some time despaired of. On the day before that upon which the revolting act had been committed about 20 convicts had been discharged from the County Convict Gaol at Springfield, Chelmsford, and, from some expressions which had dropped from the ruffian, previous to the commission of the offence, it is thought that he was one of the persons so discharged. From the description given of the offender, Rainbow apprehended the prisoner on suspicion, at a beer-shop at Barking, on the evening be fore. The prisoner, who, as has been before stated, an swers in every particular the description of the offender, denied all knowledge of the transaction, but from the very unsatisfactory account which he gave of himself, there is every reason to believe that he is the person. He was re manded by the Rev. Magistrate, who gave directions for his being taken, on a future day, before a Bench of Magis trates at Chelmsford, when the prosecutrix would attend. Onhis way to and i n Ilf or d G ao l, t h e pr i soner con d ucte d himself in a most insolent manner, and it is much doubted that he has given his proper name. MURDER OF DR. WARDELL, AT SYDNEY, and EXECUTION of his MURDERERS. The first account of the murder of Dr. Wardell, the bar rister, at Sydney, New South Wales, were received in town on Saturday ; the Harmony, by which the former accounts were sent, and which sailed on the 30th of Sep tember, not having yet arrived, fears of her safety are en tertained. By the Sydney Gazette of November 10, we see that the murderers, John Jenkins and Thomas Tatters dale, Were tried on the Friday preceding, and found guilty 'on clear and unquestionable testimony, given by an accomplice named Emanuel Brace, a lad only 18 years of age. They were all prisoners of the Crown. Brace having fled from his master to the Bush, met with Jenkins, who had escaped from an iron-gang, to which he was con demned for previous outrages ; he was armed with a mus ket and cutlass ; they agreed to act together, and com raitted several robberies for food and clothing. They afterwards fell in with Tattersdale, who had been a former shipmate of Jenkins, and who they persuaded to join them, which he did, after robbing his master to whom he was assigned. They then in concert committed several more robberies, living in bark huts which they erected, and feed ing on their spoil. On the morning of the murder they were in a hut, which they had erected in the woods on Dr. War dell's estate. Dr. Wardell in riding over his lands came upon them, and callinc , upon them to surrender ; Jenkins seized upon a piece of rock and threatened him, directing Tattersdale at the same time to fetch the musket ; this Tattersdale did, and Jenkins seizirr , it went up to Dr. Ward e ll, w h o exc l a i me d—" Oh, f or God's sake, don't do that !" to which Jenkins replied-- . -" By Heaven, I will !" and going close to him, fired the piece into his body. The horse immediately galloped off with his master on his back. It was supposed the unhappy gentleman afterwards fell from the horse, which went home to the paddock, and the 1 next day his body was found close to an oak tree, to which he had crawled. The prisoners were subsequently ap prehended, when Brace turned evidence for the Crown, and detailed all the facts of their association to the mo ment of the murder, in which he was fully confirmed by other witnesses. All the witnesses for the Crown hav ing been examined the prisoners were found guilty. On being called on to say what they had to offer why they should not receive judgment to die, Jenkins voci ferated that he had a good deal to say on the subject ; he considered that he had not had a fair trial ; in the first place, that old woman (the barrister) had been shoved in upon them for the purpose of leading them to their de struction ; he could have conducted his own case with a better chance of justice ; and to show the manner in which the feeling was against him, the jury were not out a second, when they brought him in guilty ; but he did not care for either judge or jury, or the whole court, whom he would shoot with the greatest pleasure if he had his gun there. He became very violent, and struck the dock with his hand, quite infuriated. The CHIEF JUSTICE then proceeded to pass sentence in the most imposing manner, but had scarcely finished the last sentence, when the culprit Jenkins, with a ferocity unparalleled, rushed forwards towards his unhappy compa nion, who stood at some distance from him in the dock, and struck him two violent blows, and in all probability would have added another victim to his murderous appe tite, but for the police, who rushed into the dock, and with much difficulty secured him. When Jenkins was led out for execution, he addressed the felons in the yard to the following effect :—" Well, good bye, my lads, I have not time to say much to you ; I acknowledge I shot the Doctor, but it was not for gain ; it was for the sake of my fellow prisoners, because he was a tyrant ; and I have one thin g t o recommen d to you as a friend—it is this, if any of you take the bush, shoot every tyrant you come across, and there are several now in the yard who ought to be served so. I have done several robberies, and for fear that any innocent man should suffer on my account, I have made a confession to the gaoler, and given such marks and tokens as will prove it was I that committed the acts. I robbed a man named Mills, at Kissing Point, and also a man on the Liverpool.. road named Farrell, and a man at Liverpool, whom I stabbed : he may be since dead for aught I know ; I have heard that he was missing since that time, and it is most probable he has been eaten by the native dogs ; I have told where the property is, in order to show that I have told the truth. I have not time to say any more, lads, but I hope you will all pray for me." This address being ended, the rope was secured round his neck, and the other culprits shook hands, but Jenkins turned away from T a tt ers d a l e w i t h disdain, and said something like, " let every villain shake hands with himself." At the solicitation of the Rev. Mr. Mac Encroe, he consented to shak e h an d s w i th h i m, and as he approached his unhappy companion in crime, who ap peared to be absorbed in prayer, and making pious ejacu lations, he said, " Come, com e , my l a d , none o f t h at cry ing, its no use crying now ; we'll be a ll r i g ht i n t en m i nu t es time." He then gave him a hearty shake of the hand and took his stand. The clergyman having retired, and the ar rangements being complete, the platform fell, and the world closed on one of the most ruthless assassins that ever infes ted the colony. SHOCKING MURDER OF A NEW BORN INFANT. On Saturday, May 2, a great sensation was raised in that part of the township called Little Bolton, by a report get ting abroad that a young woman had died in childbed from neglect, and that her infant had met an unfair death. Upon inquiry it came out, that a fine young woman, aged 21, named Ellen Boardman (the daughter of William and Jane Boardman, of Little Bolton, with whom she re sided), had been delivered of an illegitimate male child on the 29th of April, and that both mother and child had died suddenly the same day, under suspicious circumstances ; consequently the mother of the deceased Ellen Boardman was taken into custody, and on Saturday an inquest was held on the bodies of the deceased mother and child. From the evidence it appeared that soon after the birth of the child, the grandmother, who was drunk at the time, was seen to take up the child and pinch it in the throat. Immediately afterwards it was discovered that the child was dead, and blood was found upon its face and neck, as well as marks of violence ; and there was blood upon the grand mother's hands. The medical men proved clearly that the death was occasioned by the violence used. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Jane Boardman. The prisoner was committed to Lan caster Castle to take her trial at the next county assizes. She appeared much affected, and observed, that she could not say how the child had come by its death, but she was innocent. After the other necessary forms had been gone through, and the Coroner was about to retire, Mr. Myerscough the foreman of the jury, said that he could not suffer the jury to part without recording an opinion, whether this case was not one arising out of that infamous clause in the Poor-law Amendment Bill, which removed the responsibility of assisting to maintain 'their illegitimate offspring from the father, and placed it upon the mother or her parents. In his opinion, the present case was one of the fruits of that clause. Mr. C. J. Derbyshire (one of the jury) said he was de cidedly of a contrary opinion, for there was not one tittle of evidence to show that the Poor-Law Amendment Bill had anything whatever to do with the present case. Some of the jury were of the same opinion as the fore man, and a few dissented.—Bolton Chronicle. NARROW ESCAPE from CANNIBALS The* Sydney papers, received yesterday, contain Mrs. Guard's narrative of her sufferings, and those of her chil dren, while in the power of the New Zealanders. It may be remembered that the ship of which Mrs. Guard's hus band was commander, was wrecked on one of the South Sea Islands, and that Mrs. Guard, her two children, and nine seamen, were made prisoners. The islanders were cannibals : hence her escape may be better imagined than described : Mrs. Guard states, that when the New Zealanders first took her prisoner, she was nearly exhausted with the loss of blood, which was flowing from the wounds she received in her head with their tomahawks. They voraciously licked her blood, and, when it ceased to flow, attempted to make an incision in her throat for that purpose, with part of an iron hoop. They then stripped her and her children naked, dragged her to their huts, and would have killed her, had not a Chief's wife kindly interfered in her behalf, and when the bludgeon was raised with that intention; threw a rug over her person, and saved her life. The savages took the two children from under her arms, and threw them on the ground ; and, while they were dividing the property they had stolen from the crew of the Harriet, kept running backwards and forwards over the children as they lay on the ground ; one •of whom, the youngest, still re tains the marks of this brutal operation. They after wards delivered the youngest child to the mother, and took the other away into the bush, and Mrs. Guard did not see it for two months after. A short time had elapsed, when the natives took Mrs. Guard to Wy mattee, about forty miles from where . the Harriet was wrecked, being in a perfect state of nudity, both her and her children, where they gave her an old shirt ; this was the only covering she and the infant sucking at her breast had for the whole of the winter. They gave her potatoes to eat ; and as she had made them great promises of what they would receive when Mr. Guard returned, if they spared her life, they did not afterwards ill-use her. In this state she remained for about five months ; and during that time, saw the natives cut up and eat those they killed belonging to the Harriet (one of whom was Mrs. Guard's brother), occasionally bringing some pieces of human flesh to her, and asking her to partake of it with them. When the vessel arrived off the Nooma, they brought her down and expected the long-promised payment ; Captain Guard im mediately seized the man who had her, and secured him.— The natives, on seeing this, fired several shots at Mrs. Guard ; and the military not having come up to Captain Guard's assistance in sufficient time to secure her, the New Zealanders ran away with Mrs. Guard into the bush, and took her back to Wymattee. Here they again -wanted to kill her, but as numbers . of them were against it, expecting she would fetch a large sum, she was allowed to live. The Alligator followed to Wymattee, and exchanged the native prisoner for Mrs. Guard and her child ; the other child was afterwards given up. SHIPPING, INTELLIGENCE.
