The passengers and the crew, toge ther with the mail and specie, with the exception of about 30,000 dollars, were all saved, and car tiled into Crooked Island. The 30,000 dollars a bove mentioned were left in the wreck, and 'here was little doubt but they would be saved The'Captain of the Picket had arrived at Nassau, 4 nd chartered the schooner Primrose, in which he % ailed on the 14th tilt. for Crooked Island, to IF ing the mail, passengers, and specie to Eng- Y• S. One account of the loss of the Jamaica 4 aCktitt states the accident to have happened on Ihe 28th Mar c h.

TRTAL OF CHARLES RENNETT. This morning the Court was crowded in every part, it having been publicly announced that this singular business would be finally investigated this day. On the Judge's entering the Court, ,Charles Rennett was put to the bar. The Jury being sworn, the indictment was read, charging him with having, " on the Bth day of November last, at. the Parish of St. Sepulchre's, in the city of London, feloniously stolen, taken, and carried away, a certain male child, with an. intent of de- priving, and did deprive, the parents thereof." Mr. ALLEY stated the circumstances, which have already been before the Public, - at some length, and concluded by calling Mr. Horsley, whose testimony went to prove the loss of the child, and also a number of other circumstances ; he positively denied ever making any promise to induce the prisoner to suppose that he would not prosecute, or that he obtained the possession "of the child by the means of the prisoner. Elizabeth Holbrook, the servant-girl from whom the prisoner had stolen the child, was the next witness examined. Her evidence was con fined to" the day on which the transaction took place. She stated that on Sunday, the Bth of November, 1818, sbe was sent out with two of her master's children, in a small four-wheeled chaise : Joseph Charles Horsley was One, and Sarah Elizabeth Horsley the other ; she met the prisoner, whom she had known in the early part of the preceding September, in CeLnoonbury-lane ; he made love to her ; called her his sweet heart, and said he would marry her ; lie told her he had. received a letter from his fa . titer at Birmingham, and she must go• down there to be married ; and added, that he would follow her the next day ; she went with him to Smithfield with the children ;, he took tier to the Saracen's Head Inn, Snow-hill, and put her on the Birmingham coach, nod .said that he would take the children home safe ; but she saw no more of him till he was -at Bo .v-street, the 24th of last month, in custody. Two letters were then put in and read, which the prisoner had sent during his confinement, to Mr. Macnamara, the English Consul at Bremen, also to Mr. Horsley, coddled in the most Hating terms, containing a full confesSion of his guilt, and imploring mercy from the prosecutor. The case for the prosecu ion having closed, Mr. Justice BAILEY called on the prisoner for his defence. He put in a long written paper, in which he severely arraigned the conduct of his re lations towards him ; it also contained some strong imputations against certain persons, with respect to sotott property. • Mr. Justice BAILBY then summed up the evi dence, and commented at much length on various parts thereof. With respect to the prisoner's de fence, he said in it he had complained of a nunther of family wrongs ; but if these injuries had been sustained, certainly a very wrong method had been resorted to redress them. The Jury, he trusted, would try this as an ordinary case, and divest their minds of every thing they had beard out of Court. The Jury irnn►ediarely found the prisoner jostiCe BAILEY then addressed the prisoner as follows :—" Charles RCUnett, you have been found guilty , bym Jury of your country, of a very heinous offeiice. It you look back upon the consequences :hat might have ensued by your conduct, you will, if you have any feeling, be stricken with horror ; a premature death might havt taken place, loss of reason and mischiefs incalculable occurred, for which you could never make a recompenee. The duly. I owe to tine public compels me to state to you, that the highest punislru►eut apportioned by Law, namely, trans portation, will follow this ()littler." The prisoner lett the bar rather gaily, and ap peared in good spirits during the trial. Both Houses of Parliament' adjourned yester day for the Whitsun Holidays—the Lords to Monday seennight, and the COMMODS to Wednes day next.

True to that System since my race began, In steady course I kept my onward way, To guide from error's mists bewilder'd Man, Nor waste on Tyrant Power a single ray. And like the glorious Orb that fires the skies, Diffusing blessings to the world around, May I like that in daily radiance rise, Like that be bright, and clear, and constant found.
