Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund • Lyons, Bart , G.C. 8., Commalider-in-Chief of her Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean atul Black' Sea. UNSUCCESSFUL ATTACK BY THE RUSSIANS WHITEHALL, MAIICII 5. The Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , granting to the Right Hon. Sir George Cornewo.ll Lewis, Bart., the offices of Chancel lor and Under Treasurer of her Majesty's Exchequer. ON EITPATORIA. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, February 20, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to enclose, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, copies of .two letters which I have received from Captain Hastings, of the Curacoa, Senior Officer at Eupatoria; reporting an unsuccessful attack made upon that place, at daybreak, on the 17th inst., by a large Rus sian force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, and enclosing a letter from Omer Pasha, expressing warm acknowledg ments for the grellt services rendered by her Majesty's ships Curaces, Valorous, Furious, and Viper, as well as his Highness's thanks for the reinforcements of steamers which I had sent to him on hearing that the enemy was still in force in his neighbourhood. 2. Captain Hastings appears tohave conducted his share of the defence with his accustomed zeal and ability, and to have been well and effectively seconded by Captains Buckle and Loring and Lieutenant Brock, and the officers, sea men, and marines of all her Majesty's ships present on that occasion. ___ 3._ Colonel Simmons, of the Royal Engineers, who is attached to Omer Pasha's. Staff, estimates the tacking force at 40,000 of all arms, and he states that as many as sixty guns, some of them 32-pounders, played upon the place at one time. 4. I understand that at ' nine o'clock the enemy's in fantry formed under the shelter of a wall, at 350 yards from the place, and advanced - to the attack, but were re pulsed with considerable loss, and soon afterwards retired, leaving nearly two hundred dead on the nearest spot, and removing the_reit of their dead from the more distant parts of the field. 5. Omer Pasha's army appears, from the latest and most authentic accounts, to have had nearly a hundred men killed and about two hundred and fifty wounded, and to have had eighty artillery horses killed, and some guns much damaged; 6. The Banshee has brought me a report from Captain Hastings up to noon yesterday, at which time the enemy remained encamped about five miles from Eupatoria, with his left leaning on the Putrid Lake Sasik ; whilst Omer Pasha, with'the garrison, having been reinforced after the battle by further Turkish troops, brought over from Varna in British transports, as well as by the Dauntless, Curlew, Arrow,. and' Lynx, sent by me from hence, and by two French steamers sent by Admiral Bruat, awaited an attack with confidence in a favourable result.—l am, &c., ED. LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. To the Secretary of the Admiralty, London. Enclosure No. 1. Her Majesty's ship Curacoa, Eupatoria, Feb. 17, 185.5. Sir, - I have the honour to acquaint your Excellencyr that, this morning abont C 30 a.m., the Russians in consi derable force attacked the Turkish troops which are en camped at this place under the command of his Highness Omer Pacha. The ships under my command at this anchorage, which are named in the margin,* immediately proceeded under steam to close the flanking position of the Turkish en trenchments—Valorous and Viper taking the left flank, and Curacoa and Furious the right. About half an-hour after the commencement of the attack, I received from his Highness Omer Pacha, a request to strengthen as much - as possiblelhe right flank, as the enemy were pressing their attack upon that point. The Viper was immediately recalled, and from her light draught of water was enabled to effect good service; as also the three other ships in their respective positions. The conduct of the captains, officers, seamen, and ma rines under my command on this occasion deserves your Excellency's approbation.=-I have, &c., . • .(Signed) , G.-F. HASTINGS, Captain. p.S.—The French and Turkish vessels' also did good service in their respective positions which they took up.

In the late attack the Turks suffered a loss of 88 men killed, 250 wounded, and 7ff horses killed. The loss on the part of the Russians cannot be ascertained. No further attack has been made ; but the Russians still remain in force about five miles from Enpatoria, and large reinforcements, both of men and waggons, are daily arriving, from the road to Simpheropol. If the Arrow's services could be spared she would be of great assistance here.—l have, &c., (Signed) G. F. HASTINGS, Captain. His Excellency Rear-Admiral Sir. Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., &c., &c.

The enemy continues augmenting his defences and Srinc , on our working parties daring the day. ' Several ineffectual sorties have been made on the French during the past week. I have also been getting up slops and provisions, and have a supply for seven days of the latter in our store tents. I have much pleasure in informing you of the healthy state of the brigade, having only 44 in the sick list, no seri ous cases, and victualling 998. I have, &c., (Signed) S. LUSHINGTON. Captain Commanding Naval Brigade. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmd. Lyons, G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief. (Enclosure No. 2.) Camp, Naval Brigade, Feb. 18. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the enemy still continues strengthening his works. I am happy to say that there have been no casualties this week, and that the brigade is remarkably healthy. We have only 27 men in the sick list, victualling 999 men and officers. All symptoms of scurvy have disappeared ; and I am informed by . the medical officer in charge that he considers this as principally owing to the liberal supply of oranges issued to the brigade.—l have, &c., (Signed) S. LUSHINGTON, Captain, Commanding Naval Brigade. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., &o. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Feb. 24. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that no attack has taken place at Eupatoria since that of the 17th inst., which, as their lordships will perceive by the enclosed copy of a letter from Colonel Simmons to me, was more serious than was at first supposed. Her Majesty's ships are in eli gible position for assisting in the repulse of any future at• tack. The weather, which for the last few days has been very severe, is now remarkably fine. I am, &c., (Signed) - E. LYONS, Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief, The Secretary of the Admiralty, London. (Enclosure No. 1.) Enpatoria, Feb. 20, 1855, 9 p.m. Sir,—The bearer is an aide - d e- camp of the Seraskier, bearing despatches from Orner Pasha to his Government. His Highness would be much obliged to you if you would kindly order him a passage to Constantinople by the first opportunity. The position is much stronger here than it was ; in fact, I should say doubly so, and nearly twice as many guns mounted as on the 17th That affair was pretty sharp, and the Russians lost a great many men : we have interred 453, and there can be no doubt they carried off and buried many more who were killed at long ranges by our artillery. They also left nearly 300 dead horses on the field. Our loss was 87 killed, 277 wounded, Turks ; 4 killed and 9 wounded, French ; and 13 killed, 11 wounded, of the population ; besides 79 horses killed and 18 wounded. Our field battery had 19 men (Turks) killed, and every gun (six) disabled. The Turks behaved very well. Selim Pasha, the . Egyp tian, who was killed, was a great loss, but his place is well supplied by Suliman Pasha, who was wounded. Omer Pasha was most gratified for the promptitude with which you sent up ships after hearing of the attack. The exertions of the officers aad men of your fleet in disembark ing troops, 8p3., here are beyond all praise ; but, unfortu- LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1855. 89th Foot.—Barchall Helme, Gent, to be Ensign, by purchase, vice Waters, promoted in the 77th Foct. 90th Foot.—Major Robert Parker Campbell to be Lieu tenant-Colonel, without purchase.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE' The Royal George, 102, screw, Captain Codrington, C. 8., left Sheerness at 11 p.m. on Thursday direct for Spithead. She steamed out against a strong flood tide in gallant style, and being fresh painted low and aloft, looked remarkably well, and, as far as appearance goes, she is much improved by having her poop taken off. We hear the flying squadron will meet there on the 16th, and the fleet on the 26th and 27th inst. The Orion, 91, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., is still lying up at Folly Point, half-way be tween Sheerness and Chatham. She is not expected here now, we hear, till the spring tides come on next week. The James Watt, 91, screw, Captain Elliot, leeks all perfection, and will go to Spithead early in the ensuing week. The contractors have completed the necessary alterations to her air pumps awl. mackinery, and it is now believed she will be as efficient a line-of-battle ship as any afloat. The Majestic, Sl, screw, Captain Warren, is in the stream ready for sea, well manned, and all ataunt. She is just fresh painted, and looks remarkably well, and is in first-rate trim. We hear Saturday (to -day) is the day definitively fixed for her departure from Sheerness to join the fleet at Spithead. The Hogue, 60, Captain Ramsay, was taken out of the steam-basin yesterday, and her Majesty's steam yacht Osborne taken in, supposed for the purpose of clearing out her cabin furniture, prior to being turned over to special service. The Falcon, 17, Commander Pullen, was taken into dock yesterday to have the well of her propeller altered, the same as the Ariel, 9, Commander Luce, which was taken out at Portsmouth yesterday. The Centaur, 0, paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford, bent sails yesterday in the basin at Portsmouth, and is ready to go out. She was reported complex in her outfit last evening. The Pembroke and Hastings, screw block-ships, Cap tains Seymour and Caffin, were reported out of the hands of the dockyard art . fleet's af,Pot t3mouth last evening, and will leave the steam-basin next week.

THE ATTACK ON EUPATORIA.. Our correspondent at Plymouth has 'received a letter from a young officer on board one of her Maje st y' s steam-ships off Eupatoria. He says that, during the attack by the Russians the ships of war fired at all those who came within range. He reports 900 Russians killed and wounded • 35 Turks killed, and 63 wounded. The Turks took ldprisoners and picked up five wounded. The British fleet lying eff were the Curacoa, Valorous, Furious, Viper, Dauntless, Arrow, Curlew, and Lynx. The last feur had just arrived, being sent expressly by the admiral. From the mastheads of the ships the crews can always observe " what the Russians are at." Pro visions are constantly arriving at their camp, and wag gon loads of soldiers, 50 in each Waggon, aro frequently joining the main body. From .eertainx Indications on board the ships, oi4ers are exuectea . f6r them to assist in the attack on Sebastopol, which will be made at the commencement °flint weather. The Russians are said to have "knccked down" the third tier of guns in Fort Constantine, as they were too much damaged by the ships to be of any further use. Every street in Sebas topol is barricaded. LAND TRANSPORT SERVICE. To be Quartermastersill3;ijacies 7 iionienant Chris.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar com puted from the returns made in the week ending the 6th March, 1855, is 20s Rid per hundredweight exclusive of the duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im portation thereof into Gi eat Britain. We read in the Courrier du Bas Mill :—" The Ad ministration of the Eastern Railway has been ordered to adopt the necessary measures for the conveyance of troops to Metz. A portion of the camps of St. Omer and Boulogne is to be transferred to Metz or Strasburg." A telegraphic despatch from Forli announces that another attempt has been made to assassinate the Count Passolini Zanel.li, at Faenza. The supposed reason is because the Count has accepted the post of gonfalonier. The Opinione of Turin, of the Ist, states that a trial trip took place on the Novara and Vercelli Railway line lon that day.. It is expected the railway will be opened to the public in a few days. THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT. The excavations for the new-barracks to be erected at Aldershott, as also the foundations for the huts, were commenced yesterday. The sits selected is very salubri ous, and consequently most eligible for the erection of the intended permanent barracks. The contract has been taken by Mr. G. Myers, of Lambeth, aid the im mense range of buildings to accommodate several thou sand troops, including cavalry and artillery as well as infantry, with stabling, officers' quarters, hospitals, &c., will be substantially built, although the erection will be more remarkable for its plain and unostentatious style and the general arrangements with regard to utility than for architectural embellishment. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. The Etna, screw steam transport, No. 186, left Liver pool yesterday at 10 a.w. She took out further large supplies of clothing for the soldiers in the Crimea, pre pared by Mrs. and Miss Chesney, of Packolet Kilkeel, who have also sent 1,200 housewives, containing large quantities of needles and cutlery, besider thread and buttons, generously furnished by NT - mists.

The depot of the 15th Regiment A Belfast, have been called upon to give volunteers to the 2d battalions of the Ist, 31st, 54th, Gsth, 72d, 82d, and 02d Regiments, now in the Mediterranean. Those regiment:. are shortly to be ordered to the Crimea. The 2,1 division of the 15th depot, under the command of Captain Warburton,—strength two officers, three sergeants, one drummer, and 83 rank and file—arrived at Belfast, by railway, at a quarter past 11 o'clock on Tin rsday, from Londonderry, to join the head-quarters of the regiment. A large detachment of men and horses of the Royal Artillery marched from Ballincollig on Tues day, under command of Captain Pigou, en, route to C.rk for the Crimea, per the Himalaya. Lieute nant-Colonel Aylmer addressed them on parade prior to their departure in truly soldierly spirit, and on his parting from them they cheered him vociferously. The scene in the barrack-square was most exciting ; the officers nod men cf the young artillery militia gave them three hearty Irish cheers, which the brave fellow s re sponded to with equal spirit. A troop of the 16th Lan cers, under command of Captain Stewart, arrived at Ballincollig on Tuesday, from Cork. Arrangements have been made by the authorities for hutting the several Irish militia regiments in any favour able space, either within the barrack enclosure or in an adjoining field that can be hired, with a view to render ing it unnecessary to resort to billeting the men on the inhabitants where premises cannot be obtained to hire for temporary barracks. COLONIAL SECRETARYSBIP. ( From the Times of this day.) I lord Derby Las our thanks far calling iho public at- l tention once more to the condition of the Colonial Secre- I taryship. We will he bound to Fay there never was any thing so wanton in power or so capricious in anarcl.yas the way in which our fifty colonies and dependencies are treated at this moment. We are aware that colonies never want to be told that they are ill-used--they find it out fast enough, and to import a grievance into them is to carry coals to Newcastle. That, however, is not our business. We do not sit here to represent the mother country, and to keep up appearances with the colonies, but to bring the light and aid of public opinion to bear upon the whole of this British empire. In be half o f our colonies we must Fay that they are very shamefully handled. It is only a few months ago that the force of public opinion separated the Colonial Se cretaryship from the Ministry of War, and, after we have swept and garnished the Secretaryship, its la , t state is worse than its first. The War Minister has hi en t xorc's 3d, but the Minister Plenipotenti. r .. at Vien na has taken hs place.

To that necessity we have sulyrAdded a most gratuitous injusfce. The constitution, with all other colonial business, is to arrive in town, to find no b.-)dy authorised to deal with it, or so much as to open the packet in which it is contained. Supposing that to he managed, it is to follow in the wake of Lord John Russell's journey to Vienna, and find him negotiating with half-a•dozen plenipotentiaries, all at cross-purposes, about the affairs of Eastern Europe, the Holy Places, the Black Sea, the Danubian Principalities, and the pro- ' tcctorate of the Greek Church. We admit that it is an immense addition to Lord Johh Russell's importance, and possibly to his weight in ten SAM SLICK'S NEW WORK, "NATURE and HUMAN NATURE."

THE VALUE OF INDIAN PATRONAGE. —We hear a great deal at times about monstrous patronage and mon strous emoluments in this country, but if we would view them in full bloom we mint turn our eyes to the East. .Our Indian empire is the soil whereon they flourish with tropical luxuriance, and attain proportions truly won derful. Specimens are to be had any day for the look ing. Here is one. Mr. F. M. Sandes, Administrator- General for the Presidency of Bengal, fatigued with sacking rupees, has prayed for leave to resign his oner ous post—and leave has been readily given. The nature of this office, as stated by the Indian newspapers, almost surpasses credence—one journal asserting. that it sometimes inflicts sm the incumbent the necessity of fobbing a lakh—that is 10,000/. —in a month. However that be, it is a mine of gold. And who is the fortunate youth who is to be inducted into it? A son of that in• corruptible patriot, Sir James Weir Hogg—a, barrister— and, what we would call in England, a rising young man. Who would not be the son of a director, a bar rister, or a Hogg, for the certainty of such a magnificent berth ?—Civil service Gazette. WHITEHALL, MARoa 7.

E nsigns J. 1?. Grier and B. Mitchel, ~~~ ~~ C__ -3 conference, that he should be known to have fifty col°• nies on his hands. Oa this view it would be as well that the titles ol the colonies should he tacked to his name in all the documents connected with the negotiation. What an imposing title is that which one comes upon in Por tuguese affairs—" the Patriarch of the Indies !" There are no Indies, at least no Portuguese Indies, for the man to be Patriarch of so " Minister of the Colonies" would be a vastly superior and more substantial title. We read that when Antony with the Queen of Egypt went a progress through the East there were always a . _ dozen kings in his train, and as many more waiting his arrival at the end of the day's journey. It would conduce vastly to the prestige of our plenipo tentiary if the deputies of Victoria, the Council of New Zealand, the members of the Jamaica Assembly, Canadian agents, or Ceylon proprietors, were always dogging his steps, crowding hie ante-rooms, thrusting constitutions into his hands, or throwing them into his carriage windows. How the natives would stare at the elan who could fill up then interstices of a ' difficult negotiation with the cares of half the world ! It is true that, apart !rom the consideration of our colonies, the Congress itself would have an odd look. One of the Emperors concerned in its institution has quitted the scene ; if another should go to the Crimea, while the representative of another power should have his mind in fifty other places all over the world, there would at least be an equality of ill conditions favourable to the balance of power. But the speculation of a good end by bad means is always hazardous, and, at the risk of making one leg of the table stronger than the rest, we would rather Lord John Russell had only the affairs of Europe on his hands. But, then, what is to be done with the colonies, especially the more lively and growing ones ? They are like boys shooting up into young men, just at the time when the father has no money to send them to school, or to do anything else with them. The young Titans are frightfully precocious and aggressive. You cannot put them to bed, as nursemaids do little children when they want to go out for the evening. When gentlemen arrive in London brimful of colonial importance, and ask for the Colonial Secretary, what a thing that they should be told he is at Vienna, waiting till Europe is pacified ! Homer tells us that when the Greeks had made a great sacrifice, and offered up a mul titude of prayers, nothing could be done just then, be cause the gods had gone into Ethiopia ; and we read somewhere also of a deity who could not hear prayers because he was on a journey. But of all persons to be on a journey the centre of the colonial system was about the most inconvenient. How would the planets be off if the sun were to abscond, nobody knew where, for an un known period of time ? Had Lord John Russell held the office when he started we should have advised the colonies to apply for a writ sae exezt regoo ; but Lord Pal merston has sent the Colonies after Lord John, and these great communities find themselves conferred in coin m.endam, on an absent Plenipotentiary. But there is an expiation. Thera always is an expia tion, and the explanation is always satisfactory. Lord John Russell is not expected to be long away. H e h as only just to settle the basis of a treaty, and when he has laid the foundation an inferior artist is to proceed with the superstructure, and work out the details. Should he not succeed as to the " basis," the negotiation will be soon broken off, and in that case, also, we shall have Lord John among us, or rather among the Colonies All this is the language of hope, or of despair. We should be very sorry to charge ourselves with the pay ment of a considerable annuity till the declaration of peace, or even till the breaking off of the negotiation. Everybody seems to think it his interest to fight and to negotiate at the same time—to wield the sword in the right hand, and the pen in the left. Meanwhile, we are t)ld Sir George Grey can do the Home-office and the Colonies together, as he is at home in both departments. Yet he is but an invalid, and his predecessor in the Home-office did not find it too little to occupy his time. He notoriously concentrated his attention on one or two more irueortaut and interesting topics, and left the 'rest to get on as it could. But this explanation only excuses one Ministerial plurality by another, and sub stitutes a private arrangement for a public absur dity. The Colonies, just detached from the War Minister, have been given ostensibly to a diploma -1 tilt to be governed really by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. 'snore is a fatal want of simplicity in these arrangements, that rather looks like taking liberties with the constitution and t: fl ng with the people. Indeed, it is only another illustration of the process which Mr. Cobden calls finding a horse too weak to draw a cart, and putting another hot se to draw both. In this instance there is smnething more, f,r tee u.euv horse has his own work. Lord J. Re sell must draw the colonies, so the whole team is to be t:ed behind Sir G. Grey in the shafts of the Home office, and the two Ministers, the Home-office, the fifty colonies, and the congress of Vienna, are all to draggle on in one tangle. This explanation may or may not satisfy Parliament, but we feel sure it will not satisfy the colonies. If they find that their Government is a sinecure, a mere Duchy of Lancaster, a light appendage to another office, they will consider what they gain by such a connexion. They have had King Stork in the shape of some arbitrary secretaries and worrying subor dinates. They will now think they have King Log, after all the least respectable of the two. The only proper explanation is to remove the scandal at once, by giving each man his own work, in deed as well as in name, and keeping him to it, so that we may know who is answer able for it. .- e „ ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT,—LINCOLN, 111Ancir 9. Robert Johnson, aged 48, a labourer, was indicted for a rape. Sarah Ann Cocking said—l am 17 years of age. I live at Barrow. At half-past eight in the evening of the 13th of October I was walking towards Barrow, with Eliza Jane Smith, a married woman named Sarah Rey nolds, and Mary Franke. It was dark. When WQ were about half a mile from Barrow, we heard a man coming towards us. He was swearing. We were all frightened, and turned back and ran away. We ran forty or fifty yards, until we came to a gate. Smith and I were on the gate together. The man who was following us said, " It's no use your getting over the gate. I'll kill the first I get hold of." We got over before he came up, and ran on into the field. The man followed and caught me. I was lame, and could not run so fast as 'the others. I had got thirty or forty yards from the gate when he overtook me. I was then running towards Barrow. He seized me by the cape and the shoulders, and threw me down. I screamed. The man said, " If you don't hold your noise I'll murder you." While I was down the prisoner perpetrated the offence. He threatened 'to kill me, and said, " Your life is in my hands." He put his tongue into my mouth to prevent me from screaming. I re sisted as well as I could. The man soon got up. He then took me across the field and lifted me over a gate. I ran on, but he followed and caught me. He threw me clown again. I get up and ran away. He threw me down again, and effected his purpose a second time. He was loner with me than before. He said, "I'm Ralph the burglar. I've got a brace of pistols in my pocket, and I'm going to Barrow to shoot Jonathan Jug." I had heard of Ralph the burgla6 and of his breaking out of Lincoln Castle. He next took me down tile field o the Barrow waterside, saying he would take ma home. When he got ma to the field next the road, ho perpetrated the offence again. 1 was weak then. He next took me down a Line, holding me by the hand. He took me to an osier holt. He lay down, and I knelt over hips and prayed for myself, expecting every moment that ho would kill me. I prayed for him too. He got up and said he would bile me home. He said I was such a good creature he would not kill me. He asked me if I could swear to him. He then took me to another field, near Barrow Haven. When there, he threw me down and again repeated the offence. He lifted me up. I . could scarcely walk. He took me through Mr. Cuth bert's yard. We got there at about half-past 11. When got there he said, "They ere looking for you with laeteins. I must go away and cut my stick." I saw lighte and went towards them. I crossed into a field and got over a sheep net. There was a second sheep net, but I could not get over it. I fainted there. The prisoner ie the man. The moon ruse while he was with me. , When I came to myself, I was in bed. I was ill for three Ne left the Barrow prisoner at a t about Bar - days. I made a complaint te my fath er an d t h e medical He w Aboutas then month enin aftersaw custody, V 7 o'clock. We had walked about two miles and a half, and bad got within half a mile of home, when we beild the man. Miss E. J. Smith corroborated the prosecutrix. She added—l took hold of the proseentrix's hand to help her on, as she was lame, and could not run so fast as we could. I was obliged to let go her hand, and directly after I heard her scream. I looked round and saw that the prisoner bad hold of her. We all went to Cuthbert's and told what had happened. John Lockwood said--I went out that night with forty or fifty others. We had lanterns. I found the prosecutrix in a fainting state in Dee's field. She was standing near a sheep pen. Her head was drooping, and she was insensible. It was between liftedttl twelve hs ce a rl o n uu d po yoa and ix cewl carried rt e til n ei dn g w h, we found e rhome. her. She was at r insensible all the time. O nce , or twice sh e lifted h er h an d s , as if " Oh, you bad man." John Cocking, the father of the prosecutrix, proved her state when brought home, and her complaint to him of the ill-usage she had experienced. Mr. W. H. Shearwood said—l was at the houFe when the girl was brought home. She was cold, exhausted, and insensible. Her dress was soilod—her person bruised, swollen, and covered with blood. There wore There was of the o hymen , doubt of herwhi c h ch h a a s d ti b ty e . en re cen tly ed ruptured. ithe It was then roved that the prisoner, who iiv neighbourhood, was at Barrow on the evening of the I3th of October ; that he had with him a jacket and other articles which, on the night in question, ho had got rid of in various fields near the scene of the outrage ; that he had apparebisiceontdinirynmorekdsihatheely, ialeitaertwfiarrsdtsd;entileradt,evoenr i b m ei v n i g „ g " been in Barrow in his life," and said that his name was not Johnson. He afterwards accounted for these falsehoods by saying that he was unwilling to go to prison to await his trial, Mr. Justice Coleridge summed up. The jury at once returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Justice Coleridge said it was one of the most dreadful cases that he had ever tried. A young woman, of unbletnished virtue, guilty of no act of imprudence, but innocently walking out in company with respectable female friends and companions, had been subjected to bru tality as revolting as was ever disclosed in a court of jus. Coe. The prisoner had once been acquitted of rape, and ruahaps that acquittal had given him hopes of impunity when he committed this crime. The learned judge then e sentenced the prisoner to be transported for life. /Z, .0" , ..... ••••• 100a' ~••••'' stga" .•••• Is ,
