seem that order had been completely restored. We understand that in consequence of this news, India Stock fell to-day from 284 to 278. The Paris Papers of Sunday contain long ex tracts from the London Journals, relative to the decisive success of the cause of independence in Peru, and to the debate in the House of Commons on the motion of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT respecting the Catholic Question. The Editor of the Jour nat des INbals makes the following pointed re mark on the passage in Sir FaANcts's speech, in which he draws a distinction between political and religious Catholics, and observes, that as the Political Catholics who support King JAMES Wished to make their religion subservient to the establishment of principles of slavery, it was no Wonder that men jealous of their rights should feel alarm on account of the Catholics, and deem the religion inconsistent with a free Constitu• Con " This distinction," observes the Editor, " between those who are Catholics from religion, and those who are Catholics fro m policy, is very important as regards the interests of reli- Rion. The former desire to see virtue, piety, and liberty, pre donlinant ; they are faithful to the constitution of their country, 4. flether republican or monarchical, good citizens in France, as th e United States of America. The second are hypocrites, who make their pretended zeal for religion an instrument of political ambition, and a veil for the concealment of intrigues. It is they who preach absolute power and intolerance, in the name of Flits who has said, My Kingdom is not of this world.' It is they who make the conservative principle of legi timacy, though purely political, a mysterious dogma, unknown to the Church ; it is they who, far from repeating to Kings' the. severe and holy morality of the Evangelists, of Massillon and flatter their vice, luxury, and corruption, and engage the deluded Sovereigns to behave as if Royalty had no duties, and as if human nature had no rights. They are the enemies of Kings, whom they desire to rule—of the people, whom they wish to enslave; they are impious profaners of the name of (ion and his Church, and are unacquainted with any feeling of religion." The disussion of the Law of Indemnity was continued on Saturday in the Chamber of De puties, but the debate does not present any thing of interest to the English Public. to the Chamber of Peers M. de SEGUR has brought forward a proposition to allow the direct heirs of the Peers to be present at the sittings of the Chambers, after they have attained the age or twenty-five years. We received last night the Allgemeine Zeitung of thit 2d inst., from which we extract the follow ing official account of the result of the Servian Insurrection : SEMLIN, FEB. 17. Prince Mmoscruhas sent the communication annexed to the Geaeral commanding here. In contradiction to this Portant declaration, which pretty plainly alludes to far extended r amifications, it is affirmed in Belgrade that detached corps of Insurgents still rove about in Servia. (COPY.) the late Excellency is doubtless already informed of 'oe late unpleasant occurrences in this country. Being con :ineed that you feel an interest in every thing relative to the ac e 'l , are of this country and mine, I hasten to give you a concise rr es. 4ll t of all the events. There were some persons who were ved at the peace which I and this country have enjoyed for years during a critical period, and eagerly wished to disturb it, and to bring' me and this country to rebel against the Sub - oP P orte; for many years these people incessantly laboured ~/4- • --ect a breach between me and that Power. They had, however, no reason to boast of their success with me, and were obliged to see their plans fail. After these fruitless en deavours, they at length took the means to induce the district of Simanciria, and a small part of that of Kiingooivaz, to com pel me by force and with arms i n their hands to declare against the Porte. But, as I am too well acquainted with the interest of this country, and love tranquillity and order, and five summonses to return to order did not avail to dissolve the armed bands, I resolved, with the help of Clod, to restore peace by arms. I succeeded; and about 20 rioters, together with the ringleaders, the Ex-Priest, Miloe Popovies, called also Diak, and his brother Milks, were taken alive, and that in presence of those who had been misled. The remainder were disarmed, and thus tranquillity was restored. Commerce will now go on again as it did before this interruption. I beg You to take notice of this, as your Excellency must be interest ed in being informed on the subject. " I have the honour to be, with esteem, " MILOSCH OBRENOVIES, Kajaz of Servia. " Xragogivaz, Ist (13th) Feb. 1825." The fallowing is an extract of a letter from Zant,„dated the 30th of January : " We'learn that Zaimis and Londos have been taken, and that they are now at Napoli, where they are to be brought to They are endeavouring to prepare a justification of their `'induct. About a fortnight back fifteen vessels passed this place, under the command of Miaulis, which were going to loin those at present occupied in blockading Patras. That place closely invested both by sea and land, and we hear that it t 'annot hold out long, as the besieged are in the greatest want °f Provisions." TRIEsTE FEB. 19.—We have no late news direct from the " T orea, but ' letters from Venice of yesterday's date, just re ceived mention a report of the surrender of Patras to the Greeks. The confirmation of this important news is impatiently expect. e d by the Greeks in this city.—(Allgcnieine Zeitung, March 2.) Letters have been received from Rio de Janeiro, i d ated 4 the Bth of January. They announce that th e Emperor has appointed Ministers to the Courts of St. Petersbur.gh and Paris. The Memoirs of Fouch6 are again coming be. ' o re the French Tribunals, and their authenticity krll now probably be decided.

DEATH OF MR. ROWCROFT. The following details of the unfortunate death of Mr. Itowcttor•r, the British Consul-General for Peru, have been communicated in letters from Lima, dated the t"..)lst of December " r. RowcnoF•r was proceeding from Callao to Lima en the 11th December, and was unfortunately shot by the advanced guard of General Bolivar's army. The Royalists, at the time of this distressing event, occupied Callao, and the Patriot forces the capital, Lima. Tile advanced posts of the garrison of Callao, with two pieces of artillery, were very near to the ad vanced posts of General Bolivar. Mr. Rowcroft having to cross from the one post to the other, was hailed by the Patriot troops. Instead of answering the signal, and stopping his car riage, Mr. Rowcroft got on horseback, and, with his servant, continued to proceed forwards. The sentinel again hailed, but received no answer, and conceiving, from the noise made by the trampling of the horses' feet and the rattling of the wheels of the carriage, that the enemy, with two pieces of artillery, was advancing, fired two shots, and unfortunately one of them struck Mr. Rowcroft, which occasioned his death. Miss Row croft, the daughter of Mr. Rowcroft, Iv.•{ in the carriage, and returned with him to Callao, where he expired the next morn ing. It is stated that all the Authorities, both Spaniards, Pa triots, and English, evinced the utmost concern for this unfor tunate event, which appears to have been purely accidental. General Bolivar, in particular, appears to have shown an un usual degree of sympathy, and called himself upon Miss Row croft, to condole with her upon this unhappy event." According to other accounts, it appears that at the time of this melancholy accident, Mr. Rowcroft was dressed in the full uniform of the London Light Horse Association, to which he had formerly belonged. It was known at the outposts of the Independents, that the Royalists had two pieces of cannon not far distant from the route in which Mr. Rowcroft was proceeding, and on the supposition that he was followed by the guns, the shots were fired, and he fell dead from his horse. The dusk of the evening, anti the circumstance of his uniform not being that in which, as British Consul, he had usually appeared, caused his person to be mistaken ; but on the body being recognised, the consternation and sorrow ex pressed by the officers and soldiers were extreme, and the body was immediately removed to Callao with every thmonstration of respect. Mr. Rowcroft's remains were to be deposited at Lorenzo, but it was intended, when the new English church was built, that ' the body should be removed thither. JOHN YOUNG, ESQ.—The Arts have lost a va luable supporter in the death of this Gentleman. Mr. YOUNG was Mezzo-tinto Engraver to his MAJESTY, Keeper of the British Institution, and Honorary secretary of the Artists' General Bene volent Fund, of which he was one of the first promoters and most zealous friends. Mr. YOUNG was an excellent Artist himself, and a sound judge of the merits of others. Talents always found in him an ardent protector. llis outline Engravings of the Stafford and other distinguish. ed Collections of Pictures are a valuable addition to the graphic treasures of the country. Ha was engaged in a similar work o►► the Pictures at Carlton Palace, by the gracious permission of his MAJESTY. One of the best works of Mr. YOUNG is a mezzo-tinto Print, from a Picture of Mottnmva, representing the memorable contest between BROUGHTON and STEVENSON, Sir Wm. WyNnuAm's coachman. The manner in which Mr. YOUNG arranged the Pictures generally ex hibited in the British Gallery, whether the produc tions of former masters, copies, or original produc tions of native genius, evinced his taste,judgment, and impartiality. His private life was marked by good sense, good Humour, varied knowledge, and probity. He was always respectful to his supe riors in rank, but with the manly consciousness of what is due to the dignity of the British cha racter, blended with a mildness of disposition that rendered him an object of esteem and confidence with all who had the pleasure of knowing him, or needed any aid from his counsel or influence. A. wide circle have reason to lament the loss in him of a friend, and the Arts of an ornament. — Mr. YOUNG died on the 7th instant, at his house in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. ITALIAN OPEItA.—The performance last night at the Haymarket Theatre, was B Barhiere di Seviglia. Signor de BEGN IS particularly distinguish. ed himself in Bartolo. Madame V ESTRIS was the Rosina. The dances were as brilliant as the space would admit. The audience was rather more select than numerous. The Duke of GLou- CESTER, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and many of the higher orders were present. THE ITAym.InK ET 'TitEATIIE armed with a seven months' licence, will open for the season on the 15th of April, under the stage-management of Mr. PERCY FannEN, from the Dublin theatre. Mr. Farrel) is said to be a cleaver vivacious actor, partaking of the qualities both of Jones an Charles Kemble. The company will be strong in comedy, comprising Liston, Dowton, W. Farren, Harley, P. Farren, Wilkinson ?, Mesdames Vestris, Gibbs, Chester, Chat terley, Faucit, Glover, and George; but of these, Wilkinson and Ma dame Vestris alone can appear on these boards until the middle of June. In the interim, it is the determination of the Manager to proceed with a large corps collected from the Pro vincial Theatres. There is something invidious in the attacks so frequently made on a young Actress of great musical talents, because, for domestic reasons, she retains the name by m bich she has hitherto been known to the public. That she has a legal right to assume another is not doubted by those who know the circumstances of her situation, and the sacrifices which she makes to acquire an in independence, entitle her rather to respect titan to reproof. An excellent Actor in the time of GARRICK, for family reasons, assumed the name of LOVE, which he retained till his death, and never was thought an object for censure. Similar instances indeed have often occurred in the his tory of the stage without exciting animadversion. It has been erroneously reported, that the tragedy forthcoming at Covent.garden Theatre, was written by Miss MITFORD. We before stated that it was written by Mr. PETER BAILEY, who unfortunately expired in a fit as he was going in a coach to the King's Theatre. Th e H 9 n. Colonel STANHOPE, whose melan choly fate we noticed yesterday, was brother of the present Earl Stanhope, Aide-de.Camp to General Sir John Moore, and General Graham, and latterly to th e D u k e o f Y or k , and ';VI.P. for Dartmouth. 'We regret to state, that about an hour after the SPEAKER had taken the chair on Monday, he received intelligence of the death of his brother, Colonel SUTTON, of the Guards. The Right Hon. Gentleman's sister died only a fortnight ago, THE KING. Wixosoa, MAncit B.—llis - 31AJEsTY still continues at the Royal Lodge in the Great Park, but the weather has of late prevented him from taking his accustomed exercise of driving about the grounds contiguous to the Lodge, in his pony phaeton. This day, hoNveve;, is very favourable, and should it continue so, we doubt not the King will leave the Lodge for a short drive. His Majesty's presence is expected at the Castle before the termination of the week, to meet 31r. Jeffry Wyatville, who is to conduct his 31ajesty over that spa cious and majestic edifice. The whole of the improvements, which we have at various times noticed, still continue with the greatest rapidity, and the ensuing summer will do much to wards the completion of this noble Palace.

Sin—A statement having been made in the House of Com mons, some few days since, and much consequent misrepresen tation having arisen respecting the above-named Sarcophagus, I am enabled to correct the one, and rectify the other, by the fol lowing correspondence which haS taken place on the subject.— The object is of public interest, and the matter ought to be re presented truly and candidly. I am, Sir, your very humble Servant, March 5, 1825. .7. B. Trinity College, Cambridge, Feb. 9, 1825. MY DEAF SIR—I write to you, at the request of Mrs. Bel zoni, to kn ow whether, if she is enabled to repay the sum which you gave to Mr. Bingham Richards, for the Alabaster Sarco phagus found by the late Mr. Belzoni in one' f the tombs of the Kings at Guurnon, in Upper Egypt, you will be disposed to give it up to her in time for its b e i ng placed in the exhibition of the Tomb which she is now preparing. She tells me. that she un derstands from Mr, Bingham Richards, that there will be no obstacle to her receiving it and 1 was given to understand most clearly by Mr. Banke s , t h at w h en t h e T rustees o f t h e Mu seum parted with the Sarcophagus to Mr. Richards, tbr the pur pose of its being sold and removed to your house, that it was with the full understanding of your relinquishing it, if claimed by Mr. or Mrs. Belzoni, at the price given fhr it by you to Mr. ninAharn Richards. Of course Mrs. Belzoni i s anx i ous t o make the new exhibition as complete as possible, and the Sar cophagus would effectually contribute to render it so, if it should be placed in the Chamber, answering to the one in which it was originally discovered. I beg to remain, my dear Sir, Most truly your's, G. A. BROWNE. To John Soane, Esq., Lincoln's Inn Fields. Lincoln's Inn-fields, Feb. 10, 1825. MY DEAR SIR,—I avail myself of the returning post to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and to assure you, that there was no understanding at all between Mr. Bingham Richards and myself, as to the relinquishment of the Sarcophagus on any terms whatever. As to the intimation contained in your letter, that Mr. W. Bankes had made you clearly understand, " that when the Trustees of the British Museum parted with the Sarcophagus to Mr. Richards, for the purpose of its being sold, and removed to your house, that it was with the full understanding of your relinquishing it if claimed by Mr. or Mrs. Belzoni, at the price given for it by you," my answer is, that I can most positively state, that no such engagement was ever contem plated by me, nor was such a request ever made, and I can not conceive from what source Mr. Bankes derived his infor mation. I am, dear Sir, yours, faithfully, To the Rev. G. A. Browne, J. SOANE. Trinity College, Cambridge. From the foregoing statement, it is evident that there was no understanding whatever relative to the relinquishment of the Sarcophagus by Mr. Soane, who had paid 2,01)0/. for it without hesitation, being the sum which the Trustees of the British Museum refused to give ; yet, feeling for the situation in which Mrs. Belzoni is left, I entertain no doubt that, if she could be benefitted by the possession of so rare and splendid a relic of antiquity, for the purpose of advancing her success in the pre sent undertaking, no difficulty would arise on the part of its present possessor. J. B. PRUSSIAN LOAN, NEGOCIATED B Y Mu. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, IN LONDON, IN 1818.—The half yearly dividend on the above Loan, which be comes due on Friday the tst of April next, will be paid by Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, on that and every succeeding day (Sundays excepted) be tween the hours of ten and two, at his counting house, No. 9-, New-court, St. Swithin's-lane. The dividend warrants, with a list th e reof in nu merical order, must be left one day previous for examination. We understand that it is in con t emp l at i on b y the Bank Directors to give som e i ncrease d fa cilities to persons who keep cas h accounts with the Bank of England, which w ill ren d er the ac commodation in that respect nearly the same as at a private Bank. Checks as low as 51. will be allowed to be drawn. The Bank will also receive the dividends for any persons who may desire it, under a power of attorney. Thi s l a tt er step is said to have been stro ng l y recommended to the Directors in consequence of the late failures i. at the West end of the to wn.—plorning Paper. ) Letters received in town state, that Colonel STEWART, M. 1 • 3 for the County of Tyrone, in Ireland, was so dangerously ill, th at very slighi hopes were e ntertained of his recovery. POETRY. THE IRISH BOY AND THE PRIEST. A pretty Irish boy, of mongrel breed, . The fruit of Protestant and Papist seed, To mother's Church an inclination had, But father unto Mass would force the lad ; Yet still the boy to Church on Sunday stole, And evidenc'd a wish to save his soul. The Rector eye'd the youth, his zeal approv'd, And gave a Bible, which he dearly lov'd. This made the enraged father storm and curse, Lock up the book, and use his son the worse— With holy water, bless'd by men of God, He bath'd him oft, but oftener us'd the rod ; Yet still the boy to Church on Sunday stole, And evidenc'd a wish to save his soul. At length, one Sunday morn, it came to pass The father dragg'd the struggling boy to Mass : The zealous Papists help'd to force him in, And begg'd the Priest to pardon all his sin ; " No, by t::3 Mass," he said, " I cannot bless, " Nor pardon, till the culprit first confess." •` Well," said the boy, " supposing I were willing, " What is your charge?"—" I'll chargr you but a shilling." " Must all Men pay, and all men make confession ?" " Yes—every men of Catholic profession." " And whom' do you confess to ?"—" Why, the Dean." " And does he charge you ?"—" Yes, a white thirteen." " And do your Deans confess ?"—" Yes, boy, they do, " Confess to Bishops, and pay smartly too." " Do Bishops, Sir, confess—pay—and to whom ?" " Why, they confess, and pay the Church at Rome." " Well," quoth the boy, " all this is mighty odd : " And does the Pope confess ?"—" 0, yes, to God." " And does God charge the Pope ?"—" No," quoth the Priest. " lie charges nothing."—" 0, then God's the best; " God's able to forgive, and always willing— " To him I shall confess, and save my shilling." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Reynard left the downs as fast as he could, anti bent his course towards the brooks at Landport, and on to the margin of the riven, which he kept until he had passed the paper-mill, when lie gallantly took to the water, and was quickly on the opposite shore, to the no small mortification of a numerous field of sports men, the whole of whom declined the distinction of following, otherwise than by a helter-skelter pnrsuit through the Cliffe, to renew the chace on the other side of the river, which they at length effected, and just in time to see the fox run to earth in a drain at WeHingham, which was prohibitory to the spade, and thus gave Rey 'lard quiet possession of his strong hold, wherein to repose for the night, or make free with some of th e neighbouring poultry, as inclination or hunger might direct GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH. The great foot race of twenty miles for 1000 sovereigns, be tween Captain It. Prestcot and Mr. Courtenay, took place on Monday in Cannonbury Park, Bucks, over a four-mile circle. The pedestrians started at different ends of the ground, which was done as follow, the odds being 5 to 4 on Mr. Courtenay:— First Four Miles—the Captain 24 20 Mr. Courtenay 24 18 Second - - - 24 22 - -24 24 Third - - - - 24 18 - - -24 18 Fourth - - - - 25 10 - - 25 16 Fifth - - - - 26 12 - -27 4 124 22 125 20 It was an excellent race till the 19th mile, when Mr. Courtenay slackened in his speed, and was beat by 200 yards easy at last. BOW•STREET.—(TIIIS DAY.)— ' Phis morning a Lady, elegantly dressed, forced her way through the crowd with the greatest anxiety untill she passed into the Court.— On being asked her business, she said she wanted to speak to the Lord Chancellor. She was told he did not sit there, to which she replied, Sir It. Birnie would do as well. She then represented herself as a lady of fortune, and that she was the authoress .of several talented literary works, of which she had been deprived, and none but the Lord Chancellor could assist her in the recovery of them. She also said that she had been deprived of Twenty Thousand Pounds by the same party, and her case, if explained, would excite great sympathy. Her manners indicated derangement of intellect. She was informed that her best way would be to go to the Lord Chancellor, or bring her action against the person she complained of, which she said she would do, and left the Office. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES AT G ENT LEMENS' SEATS. —For some time past one of the most extensive systems of plun der has been carried on at the respective seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen within 20 miles of the metropolis. From the extent of the plunder no doubt can exist but that several are concerned, who make a very considerable income, in addition to the destruc tion they create to the young trees in the plantations. Cummings and his brother officer last night detected a man named Evans, who has been but very lately discharged from custody, with no less than 13 or 14 dozen of handsome young trees, on his way into the Metropolis; and knowing his character, the Officers se cured him, and brought him before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, who committed him until Thursday, with the hope that; as the trees had been so lately cut, the respective gamekeepers would inspect their different preserves, by which means the fe lony may be brought home, the punishment of which is transportation. A MONSTER. — On Saturday night last be tween the hours of eight and nine, a little girl, about 12 years of age, who was sent on an errand, while passing Maton's (the Somers Town car rier's) yard, in Chapel-street, Somers Town, was seized by a fellow genteelly dressed in a dark green coat and trowsers, and a light waist coat, who dragged her down the yard, stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth, threatened, if she made the least noise, he would kill her; then proceeded to cut her forehead and each side of her mouth, stabbed her in the breast with some sharp instrument, which cut her clothes through, and lacerated the shin ; the monster then escaped.

FALMOUTH, SATURDAY, MARCH 5.-1 he Kent India. man, in lat. 47 N. long. 9 W., about noon, by a candle catch ing some spirits in the hold, caught fire, and the flames increased so fast, that it was impossible to subdue them. The confusion that ensued among about 530 souls on board may be better imagined than described. The Cambria, that sailed from this port for Itlexico, with miners, happened most fortunately to be in sight, and the crew and passengers used every exer-• non for these poor unfortunate creatures. The flames increased so rapidly that not a single atom of all the valuable property on board could b e save d, an d many of the soldiers, Sec. were re ceived on board the Cambria in a state of nudity. The scene on board the latter vessel, on her arrival here, was beyond description wretched—the men, women, and chil dren were crowded together almost to suffocation ; so close was it, that a candle could not be kept iighted. Sonic were dreadffilly bruised, others cramped, anti not able to walk ; some badly scorched, and one poor fellow with his thigh broken. The Cambria got in here about midnight on Thursday night, and at day-light on Friday morning, although blowing a gale of wind, every hand was employed in landing them, which object, however., was not completed till six last evening. The hospitality of Falmouth and its environs was fully proved by the grotesque appearance of the men, women, and children : some of the women dressed in flounces and furbelows, others in prime Qualters'sha wls and caps; some of the officers with large great coats, and trousers rather small ; some with shoes pinching their toes, and others with boots large enough for both legs. The females of the town were seen running with their bundles to the place of rendezvous; a select number of ladies going in .ouples into every . house, soliciting pecuniary aid. Our Penryn friends were not behind; a collection of clothes com menced at day-break, and a chest provided to convey it to Fal mouth ; but on bringing the whole together, it was found a cart would not contain it. Th.! ladies of Falmouth alone had collected 801. before five o'clock. It is impossible to say too much in praise of the inhabitants.—Colonel Fearon had his wife and four daughters with him ; these, with several other ladies on board, had nothing but what they escaped in. The miners in the Cambria stripped themselves entirely, to alleviate the sufferings of these poor souls.—l hand you a list of the lost. Officers. Men. Women. Children.

Charles Lynn was indicted for the murder of Abra/zanz Hogg, at Whaddon Chase. The particulars of this case our Readers are already fulled informed of. The evidence on the trial added scarce any thing to that adduced on the Coroner's Inquest and other previous examinations. The Prisoner's Defence was of the most incoherent description, clearly pioving a derangement of intellect. He had laboured under a delusion.that Hogg me ditated his death, " and therefore," said he, " in what I did, I acted only in self-defence." All the witnesses for the &fence went to prove the wild and inconsistent conduct of the prisoner. Lord NuclExT detailed at length his conversations with the prisoner in the gaol relative to the transaction, and it was his firm belief that he was labouring under strong mental delusion. Sir J. DASHWOOD KIN G, Bart. Magistrate of the County of Bucks, was of a similar opinion. Mr:Haywood, surgeon to the gaol at Aylesbury, stated his opinion to be, that the man was at the present moment in a state of insanity. _ Dr. Fr - ancis Willis proved, from the circumstances of the prisoner's case, that he had been seized with the incipient symp toms which precede insanity, and was now actually insane. Mr. Justice GAZELEE commenced his summing up to the Jury at a late hour last evening, having been engaged the whole of the day in taking the evidence, he appeared a little exhausted. Ile observed,' that no doubt could he entertained of the prisoner being the person who inflicted the injury that caused the death of the deceased, and the only question that required their deliberation was the state of mind of the prisoner at the time. His Lordship read to the Jury the Acts of Parliament, by which Jurors are bound to state, in cases of this description, if they believe the party accused to be in the possession of their faculties at the period the act was committed ; and if such were their opinion, the party would be confined for life, or during his Majesty's pleasure. It had been proved, that the prisoner and the de ceased lived in the greatest harmony and friendship up to the moment when the melancholy deed was perpetrated—a cir cumstance, in his opinion, strongly confirming the evidence of Doctor Willis, that he was labouring under a delusion at the time he killed the unfortunate young man. There was no apparent motive for his committing the offence imputed to him; but if the Jury were of opinion, that at the t . me he deprived his companion of his life, he possessed so much reason as to know he was doing wrong, then it would be their duty to find him Guilty : on the contrary, if he laboured under so strong a delusion that he believed the deceased and others had formed a plot to destroy him, they would find a verdict of ac quittal. He read over the whole of the evidence, and left the Jury to decide upon his guilt or innocence. The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and on their re turn, the Foreman said, " Guilty of killing the deceased, but we believe him insane at the time." The trial of Mr. Wood and Mr. Leith is expected to take place to-morrow (this day,) as well as the Aston Clinton case. CORN EXCHANGE, 111ARcu 9.
