EVIDENCE. A man was tried for and convicted of the mutt.. der of his own father. - The evidence against bias was merely circtonstanti4l, and the principal wit- S:C lilt's his sister. She proved that her father possessed a small income, which, with his industry, enabled him to live with comfort ; that het brother, who was his heir at law, had long expressed tt great deshe to come into possessiop of his father's etlectS ; and that he had ling behaved in a very ~ndotiful manner to him, wishing, as the witness believed, to put a period to his existence by no easiness and vexation; that on tt,e evening the murder vias committed, the deceased went a small distance front the house, to milk a cow he had fir some time kept, and that the wi tress also went out to Spend the evening acid to sleep, leav lug only her brother in the house ; that, returning home early in the morning, and finding that her father and brother were both abseil!, die was mode alarmed, and sent tOr some of the neighbours lis consult With them, and to receive advice what should he done ; that in company with these neighbours, she went to the hovel in a filch her father was accustomed to milk the cow, where they found him murdered in a most iiihurnan manner his head being almost beat to pieces ; that a suspicion immegiately falling on her bro. flier, and there being then sonic show upon the ground, in which the fooistri,s of a lihrnau bring, to anti from the bowel, We're observed, it %%Ai agreed to take one of the loothei's shoes, and 10 measure therewith the impressions in the snow ; this was done, and there did not remain a doubt but that the impressions were Made with his shoes.— Tiros confirmed in their suspicions, they then im mediately went to the prisoner's room, and at ter a diligent search, they loomd a hammer in the corner of a private drawer, with several spots of blood upon it, and with a ,mall splinter of bone and some brains, its a crack which they discovered in the handle. 1 he circurnstan. es of finding the deceased and the hammer, as described by the former witness, were fully proved by the neighbours whom she had called ; and upon this evidence, the pi isuner was convicted, and suffered death, but denied the act to the last. About tour years afterwards, the witness was extremely ill, anti understanding that there were no possiLle hopes of her recovery, she confessed that her father mod brother having offended her, she was determined they should hoth die ; and accordingly, when the former went to milk the cow, site toilowed hint with her brother's hammer, Hod in his shoes ; that she beat out her tamer's brains with the hammer, and then laid i where it way ktiertvnrds found ; that she then went from home to give a better colour to this wicked business, stud that her brother was perfectly innocent of the crime for which he had suffered.

FATAL ACCIDIINT.It is our painful duty to retold a fatal and most melancholy accident wh ch took place no the River Isis on the no» 'dug of Thur,day last. Mr. J. Bouck.v, Exi,ibifor of Corpus Christi College, and son pt the Rev. J. W. Bourke, Vicar of St. Martin's, Shropshire, accompanied by two other Under Graduate friends of the same Society, was sailing in a pleasure boat on this side of the village of Itlizy, %%hen a smitten and violent gust of wind meeting the ves sel on i•s tack, it was upset, and we lament to add, Mr. Moltke perished I He made an et fort to reach the shore by va jointing, (a pur pose happily accomplished by the two lieof le men who accompanied him), but his stren;.;th entirely failed him, while yet at sonic d:s lance from land, and he stink to rise no inn e, '[he water in that part of the river where the misfortune occurred being particularly ti,ep, a hill hour elapsed before the body could be re covered ; and alt hough Dr. Williams and Mr. Hitchings, the surgeon, reidict' to the spot at the earliest summons, and with all possible prompti tude, yet, after Si) long a subtnerston, every assist ance which, protessional skill could administer was quite unavailing. Mr. Bonike only entered in the University at the commencement of !he present Term ; and that he was the sole child of his afflicted por t ents is a circumstance that must severely sharpen the calamity, and aggravate the bitterness of their bereavement. We understand that an institution on the principles of the Hu mane Society has for some time past been pro jected and held in contemplation, as necessary to be adopted in the neighbourhood of Oxford and most earnestly do we hope that the 'amen!. able catastrophe detailed above, and the danger of similar occurrences, wi!l lead to the immediate formation of a plan that must meet with the ready support and cordial acquiescence of e v er y benevo lent and charitable person.--(Oxfurd Journal, April 28,) LEANDRR OUTDONE.--A young man, a native of the Island of Saint Croix, in the course of the summer of 1817, swam over the Sound from Cronenburgh to Graves, and thus considerably out-did the Ainfortilleitle Leander, .vhont love nightly• tempted to traverse the Hellespont.— The direct distance from Abydos to Sestos is only an English mile ; anti allowing for the drilling effect of the current, not 11101 e to a swimmer than four miles.
