SUMMER ASSIZES. BY A DANDY KEPT 1N TOWN. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LINCOLN, JULY 30. " Vox clamantis in deserto." Lord TENTERDEN having opened the commission here on Saturday, the business of the assizes com menced to-day. There were thirty causes entered for trial, and the names of seventeen prisoners in the calender. Said Malthus, one day, to a clown, Who lay stretched on the beach in the sun, " What's the number of Souls in this town?" "The number ! Lord bless you, there's none. " We have nothing but dabs in this place, " And of them a great plenty there are ; " But the soles, please your rev'rence and grace, • "Are all t'other side of the bar." And so 'tis in London just now, ACRIL V. CLAY AND OTHERS. This was an action brought to recover compensa tion for a grievous bodily injury which the plaintiff had suffered in consequence of the neglect of the de fendants and their servants. The plaintiff was the driver 'and part proprietOr of a stage-coach, running between Gainsborough and Grimsby ; the defend ants were the owners of a steam-packet plying be tween Grimsby, Hull, &c., and which was called the Graham. The plaintiff having driven his coach to Grimsby on the • 7th of November last,' and having business at Hull, he went on board the Graham as a passenger. The . Graham was to meet the Uni . - ted Kingdom, another steam packet' in the Hull roads, a nd convey passengers from her to any fur ther !distance they might wish to ga , The two - packets were accordingly brought agside each other, and lashed' together, Upon which the engineer, captain, and crew of the Graham went on board the other vessel; and the boiler of the Graham was left unattended to ; the consequence of which was, that for want: of the necessary precautions for giving vent to the steam, the boiler burst, and the plaintiff and se veral other passengers were dreadfully scalded and in jured. The deck was rent to pieces; the passengers were enveloped in steam and boiling water, and some of them thrown into the sea; whilst no person whatever belonging to the vessel was injured, they all being on board the United Kingdom. The plaintiff's legs, hips, and thighs were severely scalded, in consequence of which he was laid up at Hull for nine weeks, during three of which his life was despaired of. His medical bill amounted to 28/. ; and the other expellees of himself and his nurse at the.house where he lay exceeded 301. He had also to pay a man 14s. a week to drive his coach while he was'ill. Besides being at all this expense, his sufferingS had 'been extremely severe, and he was not even now wholly recovered. Under these Cir cumstances, his claim for compensation upon the defendants, who were rich men, was very strong. It was understood that the proprietors of these steam-packets combined together to defend actions of this sort, but the jury would do justice between the parties froin whatever quarter the means of de fence might be furnished. Lord TENTERDEN having summed up the evi dence, the Jury returned a verdict of 1381. ;damages. There 'were two other actions against the same defendants, by two of the other passengers on that .occasion, 'in which verdicts for 751. and 601. were taken by consent.

Isaac Jervis was a liquor-merchant, and on Tues day, the 6th of March last, was returning home frOM Spalding market, when, as he was about a mile and half this side of Spalding, a man jumped over the hedge, whistled, and caught hold of his bridle. Witness struck at him with a small stick which he had in his hand,. and asked him what he wanted. The man immediately seized him by the collar, and dragged him off his horse. TWo other men then came to the assistance of the first, and commenced beating the witness. The third man, who was tall, knelt on witness's face, to keep him down, and put a handkerchief over his eyes, while the other two rifled his pockets, taking from him his banking-book, in which were a Bank of England .51. note, a Wis 7 beach ditto, a Boston 11. note, seven half-crowns, and other small money. One of them also carried away his hat. As soot' as they had gone off, .the witness mounted his horse and returned to Spald ing. He subsequently had a man named Elson taken up on suspicion ; but the latter was discharged. He could not say that either of the prisoners had been engaged in the robbery. A witness, named Ulliot deposed to his having seen Smith and Barnes together on ,the road leading to where ihe robbery took place on the evening of its occurrence. Robert Durant swore he had been in Spalding gaol for debt after jhe prisoners were sent there, and one day, while weeding onions in the court-yard of the gaol, he entered into conversation with Barnes, who said to him " What do they say of us lads ?" Witness asked " What are you in for ?" Barnes replied " For robbing Jervis." Upon which wit ness observed, " It's a wonder you did'nt kill him." .Barnes answered, " I would have finished him if I 'had known as much as I know now." The examinations of the prisoners were then prov ed by the Magistrate's clerk, and read by the officer. That of Smith contained a full confession of his hay ipg been a party to' the robbery, which he said was suggested by the other prisoner, who swore he would rob somebody that night, and put his threat in exe cution contrary to the remonstrance of him (Smith), who reminded him that he had but just got out of another scrape. Barnes denied having been concerned in the robbery.

It would, however, he proved that Miss Staveley received asum.of:lso/. on the 23d of last November, 1001. in a bill of ex change, and the remainder in country notes, and that a day or two afterwards, whilst the defendant was in the parlour of her house, she went . up stairs to her. room, took out the 1001. bill, and carried it into the Parlour. .As the defendant and she were then alone, there was no evidence to prove that she gave him the bill, but he, the following morning, took it to the bank and received money for it. If the parties had even commercial dealings with each other, it might be presumed that the bill was given in paythent of a debt or for value, but that suppo sition was excluded by the situation of the parties, and also by the conduct of the defendant when after wards called upon for the money ; for upon the ap plication or the plaintiff's attorney, the defendant, supposing God was the only witness that the bill had been put into his hands, denied not only all knowledge of it, but also all knowledge of the concerns of Miss Staveley. It would, however, appear from his letters,`two of which would be pro dUced, that. the defendant },ad been frequently con stilted by Miss S. upon ht.- affairspindlnul given her advice upon them. The letters were peculiar :: the first was dated Dec. 8, 1826, in which the defend ant, after stating that lie had been ill, and was afraid it would be a week before he could venture out to see her, writes, " I have received a letter froin my brother Isaac at Wakefield, who advises you to end your dispute with your brother's. He thinks you had better take 1,8001. and the furniture, and that, with the 150/. you have got, will make altogether near 2,100/. which he thinks better for you than going to law. 1 should like to see you to have some personal conversation about it, but I dare not venture out. You must not make an offer in writing, because it will do away with the written agreement altogether. When you make the propoSal, it must be to your brother Richard personally,' when you and lie are alone, and no witness is by." The Jury would obs'erve, that. the defendant now acted Upon the same plan in which he bad cautioned Miss Staveley to act towards her brothers. The second letter, although not quite's° material, was still im portant. It.was written a few days afterwards, on the 13th of December, and in it the defendant ad vised Miss Staveley to go to Mr. Iveson, at Bever ley; and get him to write to her two brothers, threatening to file a bill against them; if they did not come to an arrangement; and concluded with recommending her not to tell any one, not even Mr. Iveson, that she would take 1,8004 . The man who wrote these letters had the face to deny, after the intended match was broken off, all knowledge of the lady's affairs. The 1001. bill got into Miss Staveley's hands on the 23d of November, as part of the 1501. mentioned in the first letter, and two mornings afterwards the defendant paid it into the bank. Forty pounds in notes were also advanced with the bill to the defendant, but they unfortunately could not be traced, and it was to be feared that they could not be recovered. Robert Dandy, agent to the East Riding Bank, proved that the defendant dealt with the bank, and on the 26th of November last paid in a bill for 100/. dated the 7th of October, at two months. The de fendant endorsed the bill: he had credit for it; it was paid in due course. The. two letters were then put in and read. Richard Jennings (the plaintiff's attorney.)--] received from Moses Walker 1501., in November last, foi Miss Staveley; 100/. was in a bill, and 50/. in country notes. I gave it to Miss Staveley on the afternoon of the 23d of November; in the beginning of March I went to the defendant to demand pay- ment of 140/. he owed Miss Staveley. The defend ant said he had nothing of hers. I stated to him that she had informed me that she had given him . the 100/. bill, and a week or ten days afterwards had lent. him 40/. out of the 50/. He said he knew no= thing at all of the matter. I said it was singular she should have invented such a story, and I asked him if he had cashed the' bill for her. He said no; he knew nothing about it. I said " you must have known of her receiving 1501." He said no, he did not; how should he know any thing of her con cerns ? Sophia Pearcey, niece ,to Mrs. Dolby, saw her emit receive the bill and notes from Mr. Jennings; the next day, at about seven or eight in the evening, witness lighted her aunt up stairs, when her aunt got the bill, and took it down into the room where the defendant was, and witness never saw the bill any more. Mr. BROUGHAM remarked that his friend had to encounter great labour in stating his case, from which the jury might easily divine it was a very difficult one to state. Indeed, a stranger hearing the statement would have judged it to have been any thing else than an action for money had and received: for his friend had charged the defendant with having very little honour, very little honesty, and still less gallantry. What gallantry had to do in an action for money had and received he (Mr. Brougham) did tot know; but his friend did not merely impute to the defendant want of gallantry, but also want of honesty : lie did not merely impute to him that he was not a knight-errant who would run all hazards, and sacrifice ease, safety, and life itself in behalf of a lady, but he imputed to him that he only 'sought after her cash, put his hand into her strong box, and pulled out one hundred pounds in monies numbered. The fact was, however, otherwise ; the lady was disappointed, because the gentleman would not marry ',her, and so she seta to him a very skilful attorney, to pump him for evidence to maintain this action. It is said that it is more easy to make an empty bag stand upright, than to make a poor man withstand temptation and be honest : but the de fendant was not an empty bag,—he was not a needy man. The plaintiff's witness, Dandy, had proved his respectability, and that he could have got accommodated for many hundred pounds at the bank, without being put to the necessity of cheating the lady of one hundred pounds ; for the charge made against him was worse than pocket picking. The bill was its own title-deed, the fact of it being in his possession proved" the defendant's right to it until it was shown such possession was tortious, and that no considerations was given for it. The plaintiffs had not attempted to show this, as it was their duty to have done.; for the presump tion of the law was, that good cons id erat i on h a d been given for the bill, and that presumption had not been disproved. Two letters had indeed been produced, the one was said to be very material, the other not quite so much so; but notwithstanding this, the second letter was quite as important as the first: it was a very ill-used letter, and bad certainly great reason to complain of the plaintiffs' counsel. 'Both the letters, in fact, contained much prudent advice but they neither of them had any thing to 'do with the cause. When lovers quarrel, they not unfrequently become haters; the lady is apt to get enraged, and what a furious lady can do is well known, and has been powerfully described. This lady, however, knew better ; she did not break her heart; she knew it was safer far to wed than burn, . and she very prudently made a second choice. With this there was DO reason to find fault, but the de ; fendant had great cause to complain of the present attempt; and if, after the strong presumption in his I favour, the Jury were to give credit to the plaintiff's I ease, no man would hereafter be safe in accommo -1 dating a lady or any body else, by cashing a bill, DR.

The public have heard so little of the succes sor of the late Lord Byron, that the following extracts from the journal of an American gentle man, who, with his lady, made a short trip in the ship Blonde, in 1825, of which he was the Com mander, may be interesting : " The library is in the after cabin, and is of a character .you would more expect. to meet with in a Clergyman's study, than in a Post Captain's cabin, consisting princtpally of the British clas sical writers, with standard works on morals and religion. History and theology are Lady Byron's favourite study ; and strong and devoted attachment to his wife, if no other cause, has led him to cultivate a similar taste. " Lord Byron and myself are usually alone at the breakfast-table; and his conversation then is less general as to subjects, and often more in teresting than at any other time. It was parti cularly so this morning, happening to turn on the character, &c. of his, late distinguished prc decessor in the barony of the Byron. He had often before spoken of him as a writer, and, in reference to his later publications, in terms of unqualified reprehension ; but now his remarks regarded him as a man, and a member of his own family. They were of the same age, same education, and on terms of the closest intimacy till after the poet's marriage. But that event, which has so long been- the subject of curiosity, conversation, and surmise, in the fashionable and literary world—the separation of the newly-mar ried couple—produced between the cousins, and friends also, an irreconcileable alienation—the Captain having taken part with the lady. Pre vious to this circumstance, the will of the late Lord B. was very much ti the advantage of the heir -apparent ; but at their last interview, when the Poet was bidding farewell to England for ever, he said to the Captain, You have had reason to encourage, the expectation of a hand some remembrance hi my will—to save you fu ture disappointment, I tell you now, I will never leave you a shilling.' And, as Lord B. says, he was true to his word.' " He often speaks of Lady Noel Byron (the title by which the former Miss Milbank is now distinguished), and always in terms of respect and affection. I suspect she has been a greatly injured woman. " The conversation also embraces Newstead Abbey. The sale of that estate, including the old baronial Castle, was a great mortification to the family. It fortunately fell into the hands of a liberal-minded man, and very intimate friend of the present Lord, who retains the whole, in its original state, as carefully as if he himself were a Byron. " In his person, Lord B. is tall, rather square, I and slender, with a slight inclination to stoop in the shoulders, fine dark eyes and hair, with strongly marked, but open and interesting, fea tures ; no particular resemblance to his cousin,. except what is usually called a family likeness, unless it be in the nose, which is of the same style, but not so finely formed as that in the en gravings of the Poet. His eye is inquisitive anti penetrating, and shows him to be a man . of de cisive and energetic character. In manners he is plain, frank, and cordial, and in conversation perfectly affable and familiar. No affectation of dignity—no hauteur—nothing in look, or ex pression of countenance, indicative of a trait of character which, ever since I saw the likeness of the Poet, I have best understood by the term, Byronic curve of the upper line.' " Sheen is still confined in Clerkenwell prison, for the want of the requireksureties to keep the peace towards his Majesty's subjects, nor does there appear the least likelihood of his being released. When first he entered the prison, he was allowed to parade the " reception" room, where he wandered about in a wild man ner, until it was found necessary to remove him to another part of the gaol ; and latterly he has been confined in a more distant part, and is allowed, during the day, to walk about what is denominated the " cross room," which is appro priated to the use and exercise of those prisoners who are doomed to solitary confinement. His conduct, by all accounts, is marked with a levity of the most hardened description ; and in con sequence of the abject means of himself and fa mily, he entirely exists upon the prison allow ance, and the humanity of some persons con nected with the prison, who have occasionally given him some meat. HOP INTELLIGENCE. CANTERBURY, JULY 30.—At this time of the year, the state of the Hop Plantations is the subject of conver sation in almost every company throughout this county. For some time past we have paid particular attention to the plantations near this city, and many adjoining villages, and have been astonished at the rapid improvements they have made. 'Many persons have been positive that there could be no hops this year, because there is no bine; knot if this is the case in some grounds, the deficiency will be found more than equalled in other grounds, which we have had an opportunity of observing, by passing through hundreds of acres. Such has been the favourable state of the weather for the last week, that the plant is now coming out in burr, with every favourable prospect, and we snake no doubt our growth will average a bag an acre. Bets are now offered in favour of 90,0001. duty.-- Kentish Chronicle. FATAL CONFLICT IN THE HOUSE OF COR RECTION.—On Saturday evening an inquest was held in the House of Correction, on the body of Thomas. Ross, aged. 19, who died in consequence of some blows he received from another prisoner. On Tuesday last, at about ten o'clock in the fbrenoon, the deceased was at work at one of the tread-wheels, and John Eve rett, aged 17, on another. Everett said to him, " You are keeping the tables wrong ;" to which Ross replied, " you are a liar." Everett said that he was one, and Ross then called him an infamous name, which Everett said he could not prove. Ross said he could, and on that Everett jumped off the mill, and 'Ross struck him in the face ; in return, Everett hit him on the left eye and on the throat. There were only three blows passed; one . was given by Ross, and two by Everett. — They both then sat down on a form, and there was no more fighting. The deceased complained of his eye on that day, and at other times, and kept constantly rubbing it with his shirt sleeve ; he died on the morning of the 27th. The me dical gentleman who had opened the deceased's body, said that the blows he had received bad caused his death. A verdict of " Manslaughter" was therefore returned against Everett. WESTERN CIRCUIT, SALISBURY, JULY 3 James Mead, a' coal-merchant and barge proprie tor of Devizes, and his *son George Mead, were charged with having feloniously stolen ,a quantity of horse corn, the property of George King. Lord Chief Justice BEST declared, that were it not for the character. which the prisoner had received, he should have felt it his bounden duty to have tran sported him. The puniFhment which he would in 4lict upon him was one year's imprisonment in the 'House of Correction, and to be fined 2001. William Tucker and Robert Sadler were charged with having broken open the shop of William Alex ander Long, at Kingswood, and wilfully and mali ciously cut and destroyed four woollen clothg, value .20/. The case against Tucker being clearly proved (Sadler was acquitted), he was immediately sen tenced to transportation for life. Some unimportant trials for sheep-stealing also took place : in one of them James Milliner was con victed, and sentenced to transportation for life, the Chief Justice remarking, that were it not for the youth of the prisoner, he should have undoubtedly left him for execution, so great was the prevalence of this crime. He added, that if this example of mercy failed in having its due operation, he should, if he came this circuit next spring; undoubtedly leave for execution all offenders convicted of this offence. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-YORK, JULY 31 DOLBY AND WIFE AGAINST SHAW. Mr. P 0 110 K stated that this action was brought by Mr. Mark Dolby, and Penelope, his wife, for merly Miss Penelope Staveley, of Driffield, in the Etta Riding of Yorkshire, to recover from the de fendant; Mr. Jonathan Shaw, of Driffield, corn factor,' who had paid his addresses to Miss Staveley before her marriage, the sum of 140/., which she had deposited in his hands. The defendant, at the close of last year; was paying his addresses to Miss Stave ley, and it was not an unlikely thing that she should deposit a sum of money with the man she expected would become her husband; but they afterwards quarrelled and broke off the match, and then the defendant denied that he had ever received any thing from Miss Staveley, and now thinks he can without having a notary present to witness the tran section, Verdict for the plaintiffs k -rDamages, 1001: OXFORD CIRCUIT.—WORCESTER, JuLY M. Robert Webb . and Thomas Bentam were indicted for burglatiously breaking and entering the house of the Rev. James Beasley, of Feckenham, and stealing therefrom, a silver toast-rack, a silver muf fineer, a silver-topped vinegaret, and other articles, in the night of the 18th of June last. The Jury having found the prisoners - Guilty, sen tence of death was recorded. John Bosward and Benjamin Ball were charged with having, on the 10th of May, feloniously stole about 701., in gold' and silver, and other articles, the property of Win. Tibbot, of North Littleton. The prisoners in their defence asserted their in nocence in the most positive manner. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE having summed up, the *Jury found the prisoners Guilty. MURDER OF THE SHEPHERDESS OF IVRY. , COURT OF ASSIZE. OF PARIS, Juts From eight o'clock in the morning a crowd besieged the doors and passages of the Court, and waited with impatience to be admitted ; but before the public were generally admitted, a number of persons had found their way into the Court, and had appropriated the best places.— As usual the greater part of the audience were women, and among them were some remarkable for the elegance of their dress. The place reser-. ved for the Advocates was shared between theirs :Ind the most distill gui6hcd pf the .visitors:• M Lalf-past ten the public entered in great nu►iiberc and instantly filled the Court. The Juror:4 immediately took their places, -and in a very short tune the prisoner, escorted by four gendarmes, made his appearance. All the audience instantly rose up, eager to get a look at him, who proceeded slowly to take his seat at the place appointed for criminals. He is a young man, twenty years old, of middle size, and his features, agreeable and regular, seemed expres ive both of exaltation and mildness ; his hair of a dark brown, curls naturally ; he was decently dressed. He kept looking continually towards the ground, and his countenance expressed a deep melancholy and debasement. Now and then he threw his wild and haggard glance around the Court, while all the spectators regarded him with intense curiosity, mingled with compassion. He leaned for a moment towards his Advocate, Duez, and gave him some papers. The Jury was then swan, and the trial began. M. Broe appeared as public prosecutor. The President interrogated the prisoner as to his name, &c. He replied that it was VraneiS Ulbach, that he was 20 years of age, and was born at Paris. On being asked if he remem bered, on May 25, having voluntarily, and with premeditation, murdered the young woman Aimee. Millot, he replied by an assenting gesture. The act of accusation was then read, the substance of which has already been correctly published and Ulbach heard it with an apparent stupor. To further questions, he admitted that he had been fifteen months in prison at Porssy, whither he had been sent as a vagrant. He had known Aimee Millot about a year, and had become ac quainted with her from her bringing eggs to the house where he lived as a servant. He had been much in love with her, and went frequently to meet her when she was tending her - mistress's goats on the boulevards. Millot had not told him that she must break off with him, and that it was her mistress's order. He recollected no such thing. He had not been angry with, Madame Detroit ville, Aimee's mistress, but he had been jealous of a tall young man with whom he had seen Aimee walking. He had bought a knife on the 25th of May, but it was for using in his business, and the Juge d'lnstruction had misunderstood his answer. He had never said it was to kill [The knife was here shown to him, and lie admitted that it was the instrument he used to commit the crime.] He denied having been near the barrier d'lvry at three o'clock on, the 25th, but he met Aimee .near the Rue Croulebarde, and asked if a letter he had received had come from her. He had struck her with the knife then in Court, and struck her after a dispute. She had told him that he wanted to deceive her ; that lie was good for nothing, and that she must have nothing to do with him. She bad rejected him, and then he stabbed her. He> did not re member how many times he had stabbed her, or whether he had . left the knife sticking in the wound which he had made. Neither did •he remember ,asking'a witness if a stab of a knife between the shoulders would cause death. It was proved that he had, and that he had said, " he wished to see if there was one good blow in the three he had given." He recognized a ring as one he had on the fatal day received back from Aimee Millot, and also a letter he had sent to a woman with whom .he had lodged. It was as bllovvs . " Paris, May 26. "MY FRIEND Misfortune has never forsaken me from the hour of my birth, which was only to inflict misery on my parents, to dishonour them, and bring my own head to the block. The fatal time is now arrived. I have murdered a young woman who is as innocent as I am guilty. Furious jealousy made me determine to kill her. lam not yet arrested, but I already expiate by my remorse the crime of which I have been guilty. I can no longer support myself. I am more to be pitied than blamed; shed tears of compassion for your unhappy friend. How is the criminal to be pitied ? Forget my wrongs. " UEBACH." A letter 'was also read which he had sent to Madame Detrouville, and during this time the prisoner looked about him with a haggard and disturbed stare, but said -he was not seeking any body. Witnesses were examined, who proved what he had confessed ; but at the sight of Ma dame Detrouville he betrayed great emotion. This lady gave Aimee- Millot a good character she was very prudent and very good, she loved her much. •. --- ------ Ulbach's master proved that he was, as it were, beside himself when Aimee came to the house, and that Ulbach liked to read trials in thehad dbeeaetnh o o l f l t h o i sf. mother,hisimnt hinehrd the Journals.
