I talked of the ciieurnatance often since to sev ,. . - al Fasces. A gentleman, named ;low7ird, came- to me, at Leicester, last weals, when I told him the story, which I Lave here related ; he gave me e shilling and a paper ; he might . take down what I said on paper ; I told him what last witcess knew, and sent for the other two females, who gave him information ; last witneea told Mr. ' .• - .card, in my presence, that she Lad been in the bed room wit. Jacob, at the Bell Inn ; I went with him to Derby, to fetch last witness; I cannot swear that he elept in the same house where Mrs. Riciaard:e, - , slept ; in fact, tire. Richard son did not go to bed at all, she remained up all night, and I mat up with her ; I did not see Mr. lloward in the course of +hat night; I do not know where he spent the evening.

' r:.. ,.. Ul:)rs.ClcarrasT n't52.11 with •it; Crowexamined by Mr. Stljealit saw Mr. Howard for the Stet time last Sundayweek, when he gave me a paper and a shilling; I believe the same gentleman travelled with us from Leicester; we did not stop at all to dine on the way from Leices ter to London. Ido not know in what part of the town we are at prevent. By the CounT—When Sir Jacob pulled the girls' petticoat up with his whin, at the Races, I did not hear him say, you gallows eases or any thing else. Lucy Burbitch, examined by Sergeant VAUGHAN—I know Sir Jacob Astley, I met him, for the first time, in March last, at Mr. Richardson's, at Leicester. There were two other gen tlemen present Sir Jacob went to a sleeping room with me ; we remained there about half an hour ; he gave me nothing ; I was never with him but ones ; he said he would see me that Friday week, and make me a present, but he left Leicester before that time ; I saw him at the races, when he pulled one of the girl's petticoats up, and said, " Girls, I shall be with you to-night ;" I saw him afterwards in the carriage, when be put up his hand and threw a kiss at us ; I don't know which of the ladies it was whose petticoat he drew up.; I am sure it was not mine. Sir Edward Mclean examined by Sergeant saw Sit Jaeste Astley at Leicester, in 1626, when there was a private race, between him and use ; I saw Sir Jacob on one occasion at Mrs. Richardson's, one of the witnesses examined here. I was standing- one night at the gate of the Bell Inn, along with Sir Jacob, when two women came up and spoke to us ; Sir Jacob and I went into the inn, and the two women followed us in and and drank ovule wine with us. These women created a great deal of noise; we put them out and they returned again; this was not far from the place where Lady Astley lodged. I was along with him on another occasion on the race course, and saw hint hooking np a girl's petticoats with his whip, and cautioned kite least Lady Astley should see him. Examined by Mr. SCARLETT--The wine which the girls drank at the Bell Inn, was what we left after dinner ; !Revers or eight gentlemen of us dined together at the Bell Inn ; I do not think that Sir Jacob had any improper intercourse with any female there; I knew Captain Garth ; I cannot say that he was at Leicester at that time, we had music at the Bell Inn one night, And Lady Astley was there, but I cannot swear that that was the night of the race. By a Juryman—On the night we had been at Mrt. Richard son's, Sir Jacob paid for the wine; Sir Jaksb Ives out of air tight in a private 700 M with a gh.l. whilst I was there : when I said, that I thought that Sir Jacob had nothing to do with a female there; I meant tha• I never heard so, and thought his go ing out with a girl was to kick up a row. Captain Bulkely corroborated the evidence of the last witnees, as to the transaction at the house of the woman Richardson. On his cross-exaraination by Mr. Scanutier, the witness said that as bad not communicated to Captain Garth the fact of ii= Jacob Astley being at th e h o us e i n ques ti on ; th e fi rs t cause of their going to Richardson's was, that a row took place in the streets; all the Gentlemen went cut of the Hotel, and being then near her house they entered, they were all ahewn into the ezine room, in fact hunted together"—(A laugh)—The witness most certainly did not retire with a lady whilst t the house—indeed his going there was quite accidentaL—When Sir Jacob Aatley went up stairs with the woman, there •.'as much titter.ng and laughing. The witrlcsa ease noother gentleman but Sir Jacob retire. Captain Rich, examined by Mr. ClillTY.—The witness knows the plainta and he remembers having seen bin at Mrs. Richard tia, perhaps more than once ; certainty once ; he believes it was on the evening of the day that the race took place hetweva it .k.cob and Sir Edward Mosten ; there were several women in the house at the time, and Sir Jacob retired %el:at by stasis iagea,er. In . answer to a question frier.. the JUDGE—The witness said that Sir 'Jacob woes perfectly sober upon that evening.

He was walking with a Captain Mahon, and repeatedly addressed women as they maned them. The women had not the appearance of being respect:.ble ; indeed, I am disposed to say that the women were not modest. —(A laugh.) Mrs. Rose Constable, examined by T.r. Sergeant Vatona-1.1. in Norwich. She does not know She resides at St. Stephen's, proceeding to detail some Sir Jacob Astley. The witness was cireumstances that occurred at her house, but, as she could not connect the plaintiff with them, she was not allowed to mention them. _ _ The Hoe. Mr. Jerningham examined by Mr. &I geant LPE— The witness knows that there is such a house as Mrs. Constable's at Norwich, but he never saw Sir Jacob Astley there. Mr. George Jr. , rningllalll examined by Mr. Sergeant VAUGITAN.—This \;";,: —. '9 also denied having seen Sir Ja cob Astley at Mrs. 2onstable's house ; the witness remem bers having dined with Sir Jacob at Norwich, on the 12th of February, 1825 ; after dinner the party went to the theatre, and returned to sup at the hotel ; there was no female in company with them on that evening. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT.—He is rumble to state whether Sir Jacob and Lady Astley lived on affectionate terms. The last witness was called for the purpose of being examined as to the latter fact, and in answer to a question from the learned Judge, he said that when he met them about three years hack, they went on pretty much in the same manner that married people generally did.—(A laugh.)—This was the last witness called on the part of the defendant. The Rev. Mr. Elwell recalled by Mr. Scamtrr.—He re members the day or the race at Leicester ; Sir Jacob came in the evening to his house, and took Lady Astley to the Bell Inn ; the witness accompanied her, and all three returned home together—the witness was in Sir Jacobs carriage on the race course, and he positively swears, tharSir Jacob never addressed a woman on the race course. The witness distinctly swears, that he did nut hear Sir Jacob say to any woman—" I'll gne you a treat this evening." In answer to questions from Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, the witness admitted that n tither lie nor Lady Astley could have seen Sic Jacob kiss hands to a woman, if he had happened to do so ; Sir Jacob was sitting in the box Le , ly Aefle:: were e'ttini; in th' hnside of it. Mr. Sce.e.Lnir; in reply, concluded, that there was no man whose life, if ransacked through, did not furnish some evidences of indiscretion ; but notwithstanding the attempt which had been made in this case to affix a sti.eesa on the character of Sir Jacob 2,tley, he insisted that his honour was nes - allied, and his re,- ral character irreproachable. The Learned judge then summed up, leaving the question of damages entirely to the Jury. FOUPTH EDITION. SUN OFFICE, NINE o'CLOCK. The Jury retired to consider of their verdict at seven o'clock, and returned at a quarter before nine, whim they declared that although they could not sufficiently express their detesta- tion of Captain Gartlfs conduct, yet as it was proved in evidence, that the plaintiff had not come into Court with clean hands, they found for the plaintiff.—Damages, ONE SHILLING. LAW INTELLIGENCE: COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fia. 17. BERNA6CONI OTHERS, ASSIGNEES, V. 211 i JOHN OWEN', HAM:. This was an action on two bills of exchange, one for 203/., the ()the: - for 4211. The defence was, that the bills had been renewed, and the renewed bills paid to Mr. Ebers, the holder of them ; but the defendant failed in making out the connexion between Mr. Ebers and the plaintiffs ; and Mr. F. Pollock, for the plaintiffs, objected that the defendant had served a notice on the plaintiffs to prove the consideration at 11 o'clock on Friday. The LORD CHIEF JUETICE held, that the notice was a great deal too short, and a verdict was taken for the plsntiffs.•.Damages 7201., principal and interest. JONES AND OTHERS V. WILLIAMS. BROUOIIAX stated this case. The de&ndant, wishing to complete a purchase, borrowed of the plaintiffs 3,5001. to =able him so to do, for which he ezecuted a mortgage and gave his bond. The execution of the mortgaje-deed and of the bond was proved by the plaintiffs' attorney. The LORD Cunt JUSTICE—Whet do you put both the bond and mortgage in the declaration for ? You cannot recover upon both. The proviso for redemption and covenant in the mortgage and the bond were read. The LORD Cum. Jusrxcz—What damages do you seek? Mr. BROUG;:AX—The covenant in the mortgage mentions per cent. the bond only 4i per cent. The LORD Carat- Jurrics—Then you must take 4i per cent. How will you have the verdict taken ? It is an action of debt...- You must assign breaches on the bond ; that is the safest way. The Jury accordingly found a verdict for 3,6561. being princi pal and interest at 4i per cent. ADMIRALTY COURT, Fzz 17. ZEPHYR..--SALVAGIC. In this came the vessel calved sailed in company with the Rosa lind and Sarah from Honduras to London. The latter parted company, and soon after, whilst the two remaining vessels were in the Gulf of Florida, the Zephyr was run down, in the night of the 9th of November, by an American ship called the Russell, and sustained considerable damage. The Rosalind rendered assistance, and continued with the Zephyr some days on her way to Nassau, New Providence, where the cargo, consisting chiefly of mahogany and logwood, was trans-shipped into other vessels, and the Zephyr was sold, being not seaworthy. The owners of the Rosalind now claimed an allowance fur salvage, on the ground of the assistance rendered, but especially on account of the delay and deviation in her course to accompany the Zephyr to New I Providence, which it was alleged has forfeited her policy of in surance. On the part of the owners of the Zephyr, it was contended that the rendered was merely that which one vessel in company to another, and moreover that an agreement bad been e..r.tred into by the masters of the three yes whereby they engaged mutually to assist each other in emergency. Lord Sroweat stopped the argument on behalf of the Zephyr's owners ; observing that the two Trinity Masters, by whom his Lordship was assisted, concurred with him in opinion that there was no ground for a claim of salvage in this case. With respect to costs, the matter had been conducted more expensively than it ought to have been. Two or three suits had been brought, and loaded with unnecessary expencts. He should, therefore, not give costs. TIM ATLAS. This very important case has stood over for some time for the opinion of the Court as to the validity of a bottomry bond exe. cuted in the East Indies, and consequently as to the jurisdiction of the Court. Lord Stowxts. had seen the opinions of two law autho rities, for whom he entertained the highest respect, but they had not divested his mind of doubt as to this Court's jurisdiction. On the next Court-day be would state his reasons for retaining 114 opinion, and the cause might go before the High Court of Dele gate', if his opinion as to the want of jurisdiction was appealed from. He should not give the ground of his sentence to-day, but it was to he understood that he decided there was a want of urisdiction. xrAn HCN7.Y-"!.AYLE. The KING'S Anvocsrr., agreeably to the notice giYen last Court-day, I,:aught before his Lordship the subject of the slaves captured at the Isle of Diego de Ci;:rcias, a dependency of the Mauritius, in 1310, by C:aptains Edghill and Harris, under the iirdez.s of Admit ^i Drury ; which slaves were cons-,yed to Ceylon, and enrolled and embodied in the Ceylon regiment, by direction of Sir Thomas Maitland, !Se Governor. The C'..ICS.T held the @laves to have been the property of the Trench Government, and decreed a monition for their condemna tion as prize. - The iihi t )'3 cori , pany of the Wellesley subscribed the &urn of 631. i3a. 7d. on the prying off of their ship, on Monday hat, towards. the Grcnpvs, ~ eareen's hospital ship. A WILD BOAR.—Early last spring a wild boar which was sent from Hanover as a present to the King, after seri ously wounding his keep.::, escaped from his den, in which he was kept, rear his Majesty's Cottage, in Windsor Forest ; during the summer he was frequently seen in the woods near Bill-hill, and attempts were made to capture him, but without effect.- - c io .,. er , Esq. directed three sows to be turne:i into the woods, to k e ep him company, and by this means he was some time since enticed into a barn, and secured. Mr. Gower immediately sent the boar to his nijesty, who was pleased to make a present of bim to that gentleman. A place has been built for him at a very considerable expo:ice, in the Shrubbery at Eill-bii:.—This boar is of the real wild breed , ver y fierce, and on any person approaching the o ten paling of his d en, immediatel y dash es at them ; he is of a dare colour, upwards of three feet high, and at a little di s t ance looks like a bear. Being y oun g , his tusks are v e r y t ong; his eves are remarkably bright, and he bids fair in a few years, to brow to an enormous ties.—Since be has been in Mr. G..wer's poi. Session, he has several times leaped a paling near nine feet high: .—Sot‘thamtpton Paper. iiLIAISIENTArtiP PAP2.II. REVENUE.

For some time p as t greet i nconven i ence, loss o f property, an d, in two instan cee , loss of life, have been sustained in the naviga tion of the River Theme, through London-bridge, in consequence of the water.wav being restricted end impeded by the darns and other erectione for the formation of the New London-bridge.—A memorial had been drawn up by persons engaged in the com merce of the river, praying the Corporation to inake some exer tions for conducting the works in e::el , a manner as would keep a more open w a t er way. Two arches had already been thrown into one for that p urpose, oh the south side of the river, and it was proposed th a t a s i m il ar open i ng s h ou ld be made on the north sid e , as the rapidity of the current prevented b ar gee making to the opening already f orme d , at t h ose tmeo %Otto it is most wanted. --Thy archite c t an d contractors were averse to the alteration of their mode of proceedings.

THAMES POLICE.--thsra ILA LLELED 13 R UTA MTV. --On Friday, the neighbourhood of Shadwell and Wrapping presented an extraordinary scene of commotion, in consequence of a female, named Pasro, being brought to this Office, charged with acts of the most unheard-of barbarity towards a little girl, about nine years of age. The Office was crowded with parish officers and a host of witnesses ; there were upwards of 1,000 person collected outside, expressing the strongest feelings of indignation against this inhuman monster. The more specific charge upon which she was brought up was for burning the child with a red-hot poker along the back, in several places. She stood at the bar with a black eye, which she had received from the multitude on her way from the watch-house, and it was with difficulty the officers could prevent her from being torn to pieces. It appear ed in evidence that the child, Mary Anne Thompson, was an ' orphan of respectable parents, who resided in the parish of St. George, Wapping, about ten years ago. They died in insolvent circumstances, leaving one child, the present miserable victim, who was consigned to the Work-house. After she had been there about a year, the prisoner called at the Work-house to sea little Mary Anne, and said that she was an old friend of her father and mother, and entreated the overseers to let her have the child, 0 ff e ,4, 7 to take her for some very triffin; ; overseers, before they consented to resign the child to her care, asked her how she supported herself---e :e said she had a house in Angel Gardens, which she let in lodgi-gs, and to none but re spectable persons. The overseers, on inquiry, finding this part of the story correct, gave her the little Mary Anne, and shortly after the child became an inmate of her house she began to treat her in a barbarous manner. Upon the most trivial transgression, she would strip her naked, tic her to the bed, and then beat her until her body was covered with larceratiova-. She was fre quently in the habit of tying her by the toes with a tight liga ture, and leaving her in the position of suspension, hanging with her head downwards, and then moat inhumanly beating her, and sometimes burning her with a poker. As to food, were it not for the humanity of the neighbours, the child would have been starved; she scarcely afforded ber as much as would support life, and she repeatedly threatened, if the little sufferer should ever speak of her barbarity, she would " serve her out." Such wi:s the terror which the little girl had of the wretch, that she trembled at the mention of her name, and even her neighbours were afraid of her. In the hour of midnight they have been often awoke out of their sleep by the pierc ing cries of the child undergoing punishment, as it was ge nerally at that hour she chose for the perpetration of her cruel ties. She was also in the habit of stripping her and placing her in a corner of the room, and throwing several pails of water upon her, and when she had a fancy for burning, she generally used, wlaile doing so, to make the child keep her mouth full of cold water, and afterwards to hold the poker in a certain position until it got cold. Numerous other acts of cruelty were deposed to. One of the Overseers passing by late on Thursday evening, and hearin" the moans of the child, went into the house, and there found her in such a state as induced him immediately to take the prisoner into custody ; the child was examined by some females who attended as witnesses, and they declared, upon their oaths, that the child's person exhibited the most appalling effects of cruelty that can well be imaginel Mr. BA LLA 141.114 E, after severely animadverting upon the pri soner's conduct, hoped that the parish would take it up and be come the prosecutors. The Overseer said they certainly would. Mr. BALLAnvinz regretted that he could not commit her for more than the assault, which he did, and ordered her to give 24 hours' notice of bail, and she was then removed. Bail being not forthcoming, she was committed. OLD BAILEY.-Fn. 19. OLD COURT. Foxantr.—Sliarpe England, aged 18, a young matt of very respectable appearance, was indicted for uttering a forged cheque f0x,44.51., well knowing the same to be forged and counterfeited, with intent to defraud Messrs. Hanbury and Co., the bankers.— Mr. RoPand stated the case Er the prorsecution. The prisoner was formerly a clerk in the employ of Mr. Sewell, a hop-merchant in the Borough, but left hit service abruptly in the month of October, assigning as a reason, that his salary was insufficient to support him. On the 4th of October he presented a cheque for 345/., signed Charles Sewell, to Messrs. Hanbury and Co., bankers, and received in exchange one note for 300/., and 45 sovereigns. The forgery having been discovered, inquiries were made respect ing him, and he was traced to Reading, to which place be re peatedly went, and on his return to town slept at the Saracen's Head. About three weeks after the forgery was committed, he presented himself et the banking-house of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., and asked to see one of the partners. Mr. Lloyd came out, when the prisoner said '• I am S. England, and have come to sur render myself." Mr. Lloyd said he supposed be was perfectly aware of the consequences of the step he had taken, and that the affair was placed in the hands of the Bankers' Association, and that the prisoner must not expect mercy would be shown him in consequence of his surrendering. The prisoner said , then I sap pose you will not let me go, to which Mr. Lloyd replied certainly not, and sent for an officer, who took the prisoner into custody. The above facts were proved by a number of witnes s es, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Deatlt.

HORRID MURDER. —The Clonmell Advertiser states that en the night of Sunday se'nnight, as Mr. John Barry (an opulent farmer, much respected for his industrious habits and moral life—the father of eight children, and an excellent hue band) was sitting in his parlour,, at Grange, about five miles from Clonmell, in company with his wife, two neighbours of the name of Connor, a relative of the name of Quinian, and the mo ther of the Connors above-mentioned, three armed assassins rushed into the and passing through the kitchen, 17 .1- was a man-servant and two boys, darted into the parlour, where each fired on Mr. Barry, as he sat is table with the company above-mentioned, but nose of the shot: .which had been fired took effect ; because, in the act of presenting, Mrs. Barry, and two of the men abc-e-mentioned, seized their arms, each shot was thrown from its intended direction, and the villains were nearly over powered—when, crying out to their accomplices outside that they were done up, unless assi•,:ed, five or six more blood-hounds rushed in, and a te rrible courlict ensued, in which one of the Con oi'voerrspowbeineT severe ly wounded, and the other, with Quinian, being overpowered, and forced to seek safety in flight, the situation of A rry was desperate, and he was afterwards cruelly mnrdered, while i mploring mercy for his children's sake. After this barbs roes deed, they searched the house for arms, took a case of pis tols and a islunderbuse, together with two or three 30s. bank note*, and turned the pocket, of the deceased inside out. They broke all the drawers, cupboards, &c. in the house in their search, and renvined in it nearly an hour before they went away.—The Earl of Donoughmore is so indignant at the above barbarity, that we bear he has; expressed his determination to give up the house hold at Knocklofty, if the country cannot bring the guilty to jus tice, considering it as an indelible disgrace, if discovery cannot Le had. The noble Earl's tenants, uniting with his Lordship, in their horror of the foul deed, have pledged themselves to second his efforts to bring the murderers to conviction.—We understand that one of the Connors is dangerously ill of the wounds he re ceived in the conflict. The neighbourhood of King David-lane, Shadwell, was on Friday crowded by an immense concourse of persons, who hat. assembled there in consequence of a woman having been Lp prchended and vli:en to the watch-house, preparatory to under. going examination at the Police Office, for inveigling a child from the workhouse, and dreadfully burning it in several plates with a red hot poker.
