REFINED SUGARS.-Although the demand for the low descriptions of goods has been extremely dull all the week, the Refiners have been rather firm in their demands, and refuse to take 1e.441 than 795. 6d. for low large lumps ; in the fine Grocery descriptions there is no alteration, prices remain as last week.

(Abridged from a (Auk P.per of August 12, received this day.) Yesterday Capiain William Steimrl was indicted for the murder of James Goold Ra-rics, on the high seas. Mr. Sergeant Gooey stated the case—Mv Lords and Gentlemen of the Jury. The prisoner, William Stewart, was the master of a trading vessel, called the Mary Russell. That vessel made a voyage to Barbadoes outwards, during which nothing remark able occurred; she returned with a cargo of sugar, having sailed from that island on the 9th of May. There were on board besides the prisoner, who was master, Smith the first mate, Swanson, 2d mate, Keating., a marine, Sullivan, a mariner, Howes, a mariner, and Cromer, the carpenter. There were also on board three apprentices, Deaves, Scully, and Rickards, who were called boys, and there were passengers, a gentleman named James Raynes, who was also a captain like the prisoner, Connell and Morley, who went out with cattle, and James Ham mond, a very young boy, who went out for the be nefit of his health. The ship left Barbadoes on the 9th of May—about a week after her departure, Cap tain Stewart called down Smith the first mate to the cabin, and mentioned to him that he had a dreadful dream ; that he (the Captain) and the mate were to be murdered. Smith told him not to put any faith in dreams—but from that circumstance they may trace the act which now affected the prisoner's life; he also said he heard that Captain Raynes had spoken Irish to Morley, one of the passengers : the other remonstrated with him and told him not to be alarmed, and that Captain Raynes when spoken to on that subject said he was sorry for having done so, and would not do so again. It was needless to state all the particulars which occurred during the voyage, as they would appear in evidence—but I will mention that he called down Captain Raynes to the cabin, and said to him, you shall see what you never saw before—l'll throw the charts and reels overboard, and he did actually throw the charts and reels overboard at the time. On the 20th of June, Smith was on the watch, and the candle which he had in the binnacle went out from the wind, and he went down to the cabin to light it—a second time it went out, and he lit it again—and even a third time he went down to light the candle, when he saw Captain Stewart, who said to him, you are getting bolts from the locker, and I know you want to knock tae down and murder me. He replied that he was mistaken, and that he had no such purpose; but the other persisted, and said, I know it is in order to kill me. Smith went away. On Thursday the Captain looked down into the steerage, anti said, Smith are you there—come up. lie came up, and he saw the Captain with a har poon in his hand. He said, " it was well for him that he was below, or else he would kill him, as he was the ringleader of the mutiny." All the men assured him there was no such thing, and he then shook hands with them all, except with Smith.— He then came up with a pistol, and said he would shoot him, and called on the men to tie him—he said there was no occasion to call on the men, and then they desired hint to allow himself to be tied in arder to remove his fears. He was then tied and put into the lazarette, with his feet also bound.— Dtt Ftiday Captain Stewart came down to him and desired him to turn his back, to shew he was troperly tied, which he did. He then said to tim, I'll give you the long boat to tak e y our de ' karture with the rest; and Smith said he would iot go, but would remain in the - vessel to Cork.— )n the same evening he heard Captain Stewart s. ay he wanted to murder him, and he said he d id not ; arid he only told the truth. He heard him tl men send for the other men, after an interval of I about twenty minutes between each; he heard h im say to Capt. Raynes go down upon your knees u atil I shoot you—Captain Raynes said he was a( wry for what had occurred, was unconscious of h. lying given any offence, he also said he' regretted c( ming on the voyage at all with him—Stewart sb dd he should suffer himself to be tied with the re st, or he himself could not get a night's sleep— a. is was on Saturday evening. One of the crew C tamer, said he was fainting, and he was brought oft the deck to get a little air. Affairs remained in th is state until Sunday, when the tragedy, which th ey were called on to investigate, was committed. Ti ie prisoner caused to be brought to him a crow bar, an axe, and an harpoon in the evening, by one of theloys. Cramer continued on the deck until tht prisoner tied the others, and then be despatched se\ ten human beings ! After that he eat and drank, am i went to bed. On the next morning, Captain Ca llendar came on board. lie had tied all the boys bet 'ore he came, these were—Deaves, Rickards, and Sc idly. It will be proved to the Jury, distinctly, thr .t he said to one of these, " you will get 100 guineas from Lloyd's, and said he himself would get 70( )01. and the largest ship out of London. After thi I dreadful deed was done, there remained Smith in I lazerette, and also Howes, another of the sea me. a. They were dreadfully wounded, but would be ;till able to tell the story, and it was more a miracle how they escaped, after the efforts made for their destruction, than to be accounted for by natural can les. Smith was tied down in the lazarette,and the pris oner ,struck at him with the crow-bar and the has poo n, un tit he thought he was dead. He then put his hand on his neck, and finding it cold, said he had don e for him. At the other man, Howes, he fired no less titan six loaded pistols, and he was now alive, and able to tell the Jury the circumstances of this horrible affair. These were the facts which fur nished as lamentable a history as ever was told. Daniel Scully corroborated the chief points stated by the Counsel, and observed, having tied the men securely down, the Captain went into the cabin, and said., " the curse of God was on them all," on which he raised the crow-bar and killed Swanson, then Con nell, next Morley, then Frank Sullivan, Cramer, Ktrating, and lastly Captain Rayries. He then took du, craw-bar and struck down into the lazaretto with it, amJ, then put his hand down and felt the back of Smith's head, and finding it cold, he observed thzlt In; was done for. The poor mew cried out and bel gld for mercy, but he replied," you ruffians you in tsmded to kill me, I will now take your lives ;" to Captain Baynes he said, " Jemmy, 1 put a hea.vy .:urse on you, but now I will take it off." He after wards held up his hand, and addressing the boys, said " See boys, how firm my hand is—it is the same as if I had not killed one of them ; I could walk over them like dead dogs." He said that each of the boys was to get a hundred golden guineas, and that Rickards should get 2,000/. for saving his life, and that he (prisoner) should get 7 or 8,000/. from Lloyd's, and the largest ship out of London. He then made the witness sign a paper, stating that the men bad mutinied. Cross-examined by Mr. OTOUGHLIN-7Chere was no mutiny on board; nothing that could make a man in his senses suspect mutiny; going out the Captain was very humane; heard the prisoner speak dreams before he tied the men, and saw hit n beat Deaves for saying " ---- the ship." Robert Callendar sworn, examined by Mr. Ser grant Goow—ls Master of the Mary Stuffs; re members Monday, June 23; knows prisoner ; on the morning of that day was going to breakfa it, when one of the crew told him that a vessel was coming in the satne course, and some one on beard of her "'a for soundings; witness said it •Was ridi culous hailed the vessel three times; on st ry t i o ng do so ; the third time was answered by a man out of the cabin window with a bottle in his hand ; 'this was the prisoner, whom witness knew in the West In dies. lle called " for God sake to assist him, as there was a mutiny on board." He accordingly boarded the Mary Rulsciis and told the prisoner he was not afrail Prisoner then asked him if be knew Captain Maples and Howes ? He (witness) replied he did; prisoner then said "they are all dead, ex ' cept one 'man who made his escape, who was very . resolute.'" When he came on board, prisoner shook hands vith him, and gave him a loaded pistol; there was a signal of distress up when the Mary Russell was viet ; prisoner went and brokc a pane with his foot in one place, and then in another, and bid wit-' tress look down at the dead people ; witness went. down two steps of the cabin ladder and looked into the cabin, prisoner said " I can trample over those like dead sheep ; was I not a valiant little fellow to kill so many men ?" [This caused great sensation in the Court.] He added, that if Howes Was dead he would be satisfied; he said he tied the boys because his watch was going. Edward Townsend, Esq. M.D. examined by Mr. FREEMAN.—Is Local Inspector of the County Gaol —has given his attention to insanity; there is such a case in insanity as Monomania; it is a descrip tion of madness that a man may be mad on one par , ticular subject and quite rational and sane on all others. This is the case until the cord en which the insanity turns is touched.—The effect of a w ar m climate accelerates insanity on a person predisposed to it ; he has seen the prisoner repeatedly—when in the County Gaol, and considered him sane on every suhject except the one, that of a conspiracy having been formed against him. Mr. Henry Connell, examined by Mr. PIGOTT— Went a voyege in a vessel with prisoner in 1820 ; remarked an alteration in his manner when they came to Baltimore, in the west of this county,where he suspected information was given of him for smuggling ; he accused several of the people on board, and among the rest the witness. The defence having closed here, the CHIEF BARON charged the Jury, who delivered a verdict of " Not Guilty, having committed the act when labouring under mental derangement." Immediately on the verdict being read, Captain Stewart threw himself on his knees, raising his hands to Heaven, as if in prayer, and continued in this posture for about half a minute. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS ll 4.Y.) BOW-STREET. Thomas Lynes and Bennet, two respectably dressed young men, were charged by Upson the patrol with attempting to extract a pans of glass from a jeweller's shop, with intent to commit felony. Upson stated that at half past eight o'clock this morning, knowing the prisoners, he observed them looking into several shops. They at last came to the shop of Mr. Montague Levison, a jeweller s in Cockspur- street. Lynes first tried the shop-door, and finding it fast, he proceeded to work at a pane of glass, with a sharp instrument at the putty, and Bennet standing in order to screen him. He also saw Mr. Levison in the balcony, and beckoned him to retire, pointing to the pri soners. He did so, but shortly afterwards came out of a private door, and apprehended Lynes, while Upson took Bennet. Lynes had in his possession a black bag and a penknife, which had putty on the blade of it of the same colour as that on the window. Mr. Levison also watched Lynes while he " starred the glaze," and fearing that something would be gone, he ran out and secured him. The glass was cracked in the most ingenious manner. The penknife was first introduced into the putty, and twisted round; this madea horizontal crack across the pane, and the operation was repeated lower doom, the pane leaving an interval after the middle piece had' bees extracted, which could be done without noise, large enough to admit a man's arm. This piece, in the present case, bad not been taken out. Mr. Collins, of 31, Cockspur-street, stated that he had been robbed in exactly the above manner of three gold snuff-boxes, value 751., en Monday last. He had often seen Bennet about his shop. They were fully committed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, Aun. 14.—Vice-Admiral Sir E.

UNLUCKY RENCONTRE.—.A rather ludicrous scene presented itself in the neighbourhood of Pitt-street yesterday evening week. out When the p eop l e were com i ng of chur c h, one of those heavy showers which have been so frequent of late came on, and pelted most unmercifully the numerous holiday suits that were exposed to its mis chievous fury. Several young women, in order to save their finery, ran as fast as their legs would carry them, in the hope of reaching their homes with as little damage as possible from the rain. But, oh, dire mi s h ap ! fi ve or s i x of them whose road happened to lie in the same direction, running with all their might, just as they turned a corner came plump upon the vanguard of a drove of pigs. They could not stop themselves—amongst the pigs they ran, and amongst them they fell. A gallant youth, who saw the predicament the ladies were in, rushed valiantly to their assistance, but shared the fats of the ladies.—Liverpool Albion. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

The whole of the stakes, 601. to 401., for a trotting match against time, was made good on Wednesday night, at Torn Spring's, the Castle Tavern, Holborn. The odds were laid that a bay galloway, not measuring more than fourteen hands and an inch in height, did not trot twenty eight miles in harness in two successive hours—the match to conic off on Sunbury-common, on the 19th instant, and the start to take place between the hours of six in the morning and five in the evening, at the option of the backer of the galloway. To be a fair trot in the usual way; an umpire to be chosen on each side, with a referee, whose decision is to be final. This extraordinary feat has only been accomplished once within our knowledge, and that by Mr. Giles's horse, of which a print has been pub lish ; and by which the distance was done over the same ground. The start, we understand, will be five miles in and five miles out, so that, in point of fact, a greater distance than 14 miles within the hour must be accom plished, as there will be six turns. The owner of the gal loway, who weighs twelve stone, is to drive. A machine has been built for the occasion, which we should think does not weigh much more than one hundred weight. The match excites great interest in the sporting world, and 7 to 4 , and 2 to 1 has been laid against the performance. The galloway, to look at, is of the cob breed, and in action, it would seem, has not the speed required; but, never theless, he has the character of going over the ground in.!' surprising manner. After the stakes had been made good, th e proprietor of the galloway effered to back him, win or lose the present match, to trot fifty miles out in four and a half successive hours—to drive himself in the same machine. A hind of the Red Deer species was, a few days since, seen in the neighbourhood of Silvertan, supposed to have strayed from Exmoor. The spoiting world will be glad to hear that, through the exertions of Sir A. CHIRHESTER and several gentlemen of Devon and Somer set, that noblest of field sports—stag hunting—is likely to be revived with all its ancient spirit.—Plymouth Journal. HA R VEST.—Harvest is becoming general in the parish of Borgue, and various other parts of Galloway. Mr. BROWN, Ingleaton, Mr. Sstrrir, Itoberton, and Mr. SPAOAT, Brighouse, all commenced in the middle of last week, and will have constant shearing, if the weather keep favourable. Around Port-William, dif f erent fields were cut above a fortnight ago, and although we have no cer tain information on the subject, we presume the grain has been stacked or housed. On Thursday, the 6th, Mr. CRAM, innkeeper, Newton. Stewart, cut 124 stooks of ex cellent barley, and finished and secured a hay-stack, con taining 8,000 stones. Nearer home, the farmers are busy, and preparing to be much busier still. Along every road, and in every direction, at least a few stooks are to be seen, and before the end of the present week shearers will pro bably be hired in our own market.—Damfries Courier. i , _nicrhoorsf ceded favour lentgt THE WEATHER.—Upon the whole, the weather, since our last, has proved favourable to the pur suits of the agriculturist. We continue to receive accounts of the damage done to property, occasioned by the late floods, yet we think we are authorised in raying, that the effects, generally speaking, have not been co disastrous as had been anticipated, at least in this vicinity. In the early part of the week we had some fine harvest weather; en Saturday, however , the kindly appearance of the skies ex perienced a change, and we were visited by frequent showers, with squalls of wind, which continuedh during n.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS: The Duke of Clarence, it appears, has re signed, or been stripped of, his briefly• worn ho nours as Lard High Admiral of England. At. present, it would be mere impertinence to re peat the various conjectures and absurdities which hal - g been thrown into circulation by way of accounting for an occurrence by no means unexpected. The truth will come out ere long. What now most nearly concerns the State, is the mode in which the navy ought to be furnish ed with an official chieftain. A steadily-work- lug g ore Fpirrosfittarie rd he ol d th of e A th d e m o i ffi ra c l e ty dasi Prince of the Blood. Had the author or l a iro s s l - a e p r_A approvers , of the Duke cf Clarence's promotion continued in power to this than in thet they would have felt themselves able to maintain his Royal Highness in a post which cannot, we apprehend, be suitably administered without a share of tact and discretion, not pos sessed by the average of men or Princes, Mr. C ann i n g, however, we doubt not, might liavc shown himself an adviser, at once friendly aria more sagacious, than the late Lord High Ad miral was blessed with, in a n y Minister w ho fol lowed Mr. Canning. We shall only add our hope, that the navy may be placed in some better hands than have been suffered to direct it since Lord St. Vincent's resignation. Above all • things, let us implore the Government not to torture that fine branch of the p ublic service by setting over it a Cabinet Minister,---Tinier. The Duke of Clarence has resigned his office as Lord High Admiral. The resignation took place at Windsor, on Tuesday, the 12th. It can hardly be necessary for us to inform our readers, that the principle on which the English Government is conducted is corruption. The resources of the nation must kc administered for the benefit of those whose political influence makes them the masters of the State. The idea of a Lord High Admiral distributing promotion conscientiously, with reference to merit and ser vices, was a pretty enough idea for Utopia. But his Royal Highness belongs to a nation which— whether it be a matter for praise or dispraise we presume not to say—is as unlike Utopia as any one thing can be unlike another. Accordingly. the chief fault found with his Royal Highness is his number of promotions of old and merito rious officers, who had no Parliamentary inte rest to recommend. them. Merit and services had a title in the eves of his Royal Highness but the title is not an English one. That man must have looked around him to very little pur pose who has not discovered that the crime in England which never can be forgiven is honesty. The great problem is to find in every depart ment of Church and State a succedaneum for truth. Other objections have been started to the proceedings of his Royal Highness ; but the principal one was, his not keeping in mind that the Government can only he kept in motion . by corruption, and that the Navy has always been its sheet-anchor. We suppose the Navy will again be under Lord Melville, who is in no danger of mistaking the true principle& of the British Constitution. For instance, the sp . pointment of the three sons of Sir Johnston Hope to be Captains of ships, all since the peace, who of course can have seen little service, will never be mistaken for unpar liamentary and uNconstitUtional. This is the secret for keeping place.-319rning Chronicle. The Journal des Debats has a laboured and specious article on the subject of the policy which has for some time been pursued by our Government. The object of it is to show that. England ought to have taken a more prominent part in the affairs of Europe, to preserve her imn fluence ; and a number of supposed mortifica tions and insults which we have experienced in Portugal are detailed with a provoking air of exactness, as affording a proof of the impolitic course we have pursued. The conclusion which the writer arrives at is, that the present stifle et inaction of this country cannot last much longer. —" Self-denial, it is , said, is a private virtue, which is not .of a very desirable nature even in individuals ; but the political disinterestcdnes!: of a nation, which has ships and men, when great questions are on the point of being decided by sea and land, would be a very uncertain element of the combinations that are prepa ring; and the Cabinets of Europe will do evell not to found their calculations on this anomaly." —lf it become necessary that this nation should draw the sword, there can be no doubt, not withstanding the embarrassed state of out finances, that abundant resources would be at. the disposal of Government for the time. Of all the great nations of Europe, too, England is per haps the only one which C4ll make war without, risking its independence. But it is because v..c can always, in case of exigency, command im mense resources, and because our security cau never be endangered from without, that we arc more particularly called upon to recur to hostili ties only when such a grave step is rendered necessary for the protection of our citizens, or the vindication of the national honour. No . Government in the present day, when the re sources of nations are so generally known and appreciated, can possibly suppose that the reluc tance of England to draw the sword can arise from a consciousness of her inability to make war. There hardly ever appears a political pub lication on the Continent, in which the power and the resources of England, and inquiries as to whether they are attributable to our insular situation or to our institutions, do not form a prominent subject of discussion. It cannot ad mit of dispute, that if we c hose, we could send ships and troops to Portugal, and do, at all events, material injury to Don Miguel, if we could not drive him from the Throne. But because the Portuguese are lazy and priestrid den, and Don Aguas title t o the throne is questionable, are we called on, from a regard I either to our independence or honour to interfere in s heaf fairs . of Portu ga l ? C ertainly not. It becomes g reat newt' like E ng l an d , not to set t h e ex ample of a violatio n of international law The respect which foreign nations may entertain for es would not, certainly, be increased by any in i"diCiMlS attempt to interfere with Portugal. The degree of respect is measured by our power and not by our display of it, which, by wasting our resources, would in so far diminish the L,lleatis by whi c h w e can m a ke ourselves respected. r hese articles in the French Journals are levelled at the Aristocracy of this country, who, by holding in Parliament for many years a swagger ing braggadocia sort of language, as if we were jure dim° the lecturers of all governments, and vvere specially called on to decide on the justice or the fitness of every act of external or internal policy of every nation in Europe, and as if no step could be taken in any country without our good leave, have made us enetnies every where. This was a usurpation which could not he long endured, and the which it occasioned is at the bottom of many of speculations of thtt foreign Journalists. who notice with it oilL; oh
