The old man was quite senseless, and could not speak. After I had secured the prisoners, I took him to the Infirmary. He had no money, and his pockets were all turned inside out. Witness produced the phial. William Ellis Guest, house-surgeon ofthe Infir mary—When Aspen was brought to the Infirmary he could not walk; there was a degree of stupor about him ; he vomited without an emetic; an emetic was afterwards administered. He was brought at eight o'clock, and put to bed a little after eleven. He died at four o'clock the next morning. I cannot say whether he was poisoned or not. I think his death was produced by some nar cotic, and I am not aware that any thing else would have produced it.

Upon which charges the Court came to the following decision : Finding and Sentence.—" The Court having maturely weighed the evidence adduced is support of the prosecu tion, as well as what the prisoner has urged in his own behalf, is of opinion, that he is guilty of all and every part of the charges preferred against him ; which being in breach of the Articles of War, it does sentence him, the prisoner, private John Corner, of his Majesty's 20th Re giment, to be transported, as a felon, for the term of his natural life, to such place as his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief may be pleased to direct.

The prisoner had nearly severed the head of the child from the body with a razor, which he was applying to his own throat when he was prevented. After he had committed the deed he appeared more cheerful than usual, and said he bad done it, it was all right, he could not help it : that was nothing to what he must do, he must do much more than that. It appeared that the prisoner had been a soldier, and that there had been something the matter with his head, out of which some bones had been taken. He had been for some months past almost constantly praying, and he frequently fell on his knees on the high road. The Jury interrupted the proof, and said they were convinced of the prisoner's insanity, and re turned a verdict of " acquittal" on that ground. Richard Hurst, the father : James Hurst, the son; 'Joseph Shaw; James Henthorne, and John Bottomley were brought up, and received sentence of death. His Lordship said, it was a sad and so lemn situation for a father and son. The father ought to have brought up his son in the paths of sobriety and virtue; but it was fortunate for them that they had always acted without inhumanity, and there were hopes, for some of them at least, that the sentence might not be carried into execution.

WELCH HINTS for AGRICULTURALISTS. The following hints are the result of careful observation . on the basis of twenty-five years' ex perience, fifteen of which have been in the Prin cipality, where the following management has been practised with success, viz. by certain changes in the modes of cultivation, such as the use of fallow crops, instead of fallows (there is a great difference in a profitable fallow crop, and a naked fallow), and the manuring of lands at the cheapest rate. Providence has been very bountiful to South Wales in those materials of which manure can be made, and, in my humble opinion, particularly so to Glamorganshire ; for instance, there is plenty of lime, which, to make the most of, should be used in the Devonshire manner, where every particle of quantity and quality is preserved, which is not effected in the common mode of application. Clay is in great abundance in many places, and fuel as plenty to burn it to ashes, which are a cheap manure for corn or grass lands. Peat is a vegetable pro duction, which is convertible to manure by dif ferent means. Sea. sand is an article much used as a material in making manure : the farmers in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth used it for tur nips, and prefer it to every other for the success ful cultivation of that root. Sea mud (silt) is used on the lands contiguous to the Mersey ; and much may be done by irrigation in this fine watered country. ft appears to me, that the cattle and sheep of South Wales generally suffer in the spring, for want of sufficient food ; at the same time - there are two plants, indigenous to the soil of the, Principality, one of which will keep (when cultivated) three to foul:" horses or cows per acre, from October to March, and the cattle will 'then have better coats than on any other food, except corn ; the other plant will stand five or six inches high the first week in March, and is excellent food for cows, horses, or sheep, particularly for ewes and lambs: these plants are perennial. •Saintfoin would improve the thin calcareous soils of South Wales, as it has done those of Surrey, "Wilts, and Hamp shire ; lucern, on loam of a sufficient depth, would keep three to four horses or cows per acre from the latter end of May until Michaelmas, if managed as planting • Kent. Trees and -- for dry soils (in my practice), the fir tribe, par ticularly larch, has answered best ; for moist bot toms, the black poplar, the crack willow (fragilis), and the white willow (alba), the two latter are timber willows, will grow to a large size, or may be cut for coal-pit use, in nine years from the truncheon, and will then pay thirty to forty pounds per acre. If the high dry lands (to a certain altitude) were managed by the double t tioland feeding system, as on the hills in Oxfordshire, it would increase the value of that property thirty per cent. a nd vesepyudsl,teui upon maintain ain given similarn a o h quantity their d more aborNe' of horses, beinglns ed s ; a acted ei upon , would much more manure could be made, and of course, the crops of corn would increase,—which can be proved by September 3, 1527. A PRACTICAL FARMER. ABSURDITIES IN PROSE AND VERSE.—Written and Illustrated by A. CROWQUILL. London, 1827. This is a mistake : it should have been " Ab surdities, &c. by A. Goosequill," not " Crow quill," for never yet did a volume so thoroughly justify its title. Puns—of that poetic character, allowed neither by Gods, men, nor columns— abound in every page (line we should rather say), but as these verbal enormities at present are all the fashion, to the exclusion of Farquhar, Con greve, and Sheridan, we suppose we must say nothing against them. We may, however, just remark, en passant, that in the works of our genuine wits a pun is seldom or never admitted. The man whose thoughts and sensibilities are cast in a witty mould will never condescend to a mere'verbal joke, which a short-sighted reader could not see without his spectacles. Swift, in deed, perpetrated occasional puns ; but then he more than atoned for this absurdity by " G ulliver" and the " Tale of a Tub ;" our modern wits, on the contrary, are punsters, nothing more, their waggeries depend for effect on the state of the reader's optics ; no pleasurable sensations are excited by their mechanical faceteness, for it requires the sign-posts of Italics or Capitals to be set up, in order to show that wit either is or meant to be in the neighbourhood. Where, for in stance, without such landmarks, is the humour of the following stanza ? And Mr. Trott was trotting there, When Biddy Lowe so smart Just passed—and tho' she only walked, Her eyes ran thro' his heart. Yet Italicise the words " trotting" and " ran," and the joke instantly becorries superlative. — There are divers other waggeries equally side splitting, pickled in the preserves of these multi farious Absurdities, which (as we are fearful they will not keep) we shall at once indulge the reader with. If, however, his taste be accustomed to the piquant healthy viands of Congreve, She ridan, and Canning, he will not, we think, much relish such forced meats. In the first accom plished Ballad of " Tim Trott and Biddy Lowe" (founded on Mr. Hood's popular Whims and Oddities) we find these triple jests:— , " With piteous look he eyed the maid But could'nt hide his grief."— " I've sighed and sighed, until I am Like one beside myself.''— " You know I've cut you, aye, for long, So now I'll cut you short."— " Spectatum admissi, risum teneatis, amici ?" In another ballad 'cleped the" Tallow-chandler," Mr. Crowquill thus alludes to his hero : " Tho' damsels short he loved right well, He better loved long nights, For he thought not of his heart so much As he thought of—his lights." Exquisite wag ! again :---- " Quoth he, trade is an ocean wide, I must provide for gales, For like unto a sailor, I • Depend upon nay sales." 'ln a prose tale, christened the " Dwarf"— which it much resembles in intellect,—we dis cover, to our infinite admiration, the following very outrageous witticisms :—" If Apiciu3 Von R ip pel did at first groan a little, he had grown so much lately that lie appeared to have risen supe rior to the world, &e."—" If I outrun thee, thou wilt run out of thy wits."—" I have not the right use of my left leg." To the few sides that have not yet split with reading these " Ab surdities" we would recommend (with the pre caution of stiff stays) the essay on a Baker and a Pot Boy. The " Ode to Mr. James Atkin son" is not amiss in the way of Absurdity, indeed it is a toss up which is the absurdest of the two, that or the other ; but the legend called the " Burly Leman," decidedly leaves all compe tition behind it. We wish we could say as much for the long story of " Apicius Von Bum mell," but it is simply stupid ; and when so many similar works are daily, indeed hourly, manufactured, it is the stupidest only that can claim attention. We have been induced to notice this volume of insufferable bare-faced trash for two reasons : first, because it is the representative of a style of wit very prevalent at the present day, when even in private life the stream of conversation is perpetually diverted by some stupid leaden headed punster ; and secondly, because its author, in the very plenitude of his literary arrogance, has taken special care to record his dulness in almost every provincial newspaper. Before we conclude we will just beg leave to ask one per tinent question :in the title-page we find the portrait of a gentleman with a very flourishing fool's cap and bells on his head. Pray is this a likeness of the author ? THE TURKS.—TakeD en masse, the Turks are the finest-looking race of men in the w or ld : their oval heads, arching brows, jetty eyes, an d aquiline noses, their lofty figures and stately mien, aryall set off to full advantage by their ample robes and graceful turbans ; all ease and proportion about a Turk : there are no angles or straight lines in his features or person ; in all we find the pure curve of manly beauty and majestic grace. It is inconceivable what a miserable figure an Englishman of an European makes beside him ; his black unmeaning hat, harlequin pantaloons, and straight-cut coat, (which will one. puzzle those of posterity who shall be anti day quarie , contrast so villainously s in costume with the pi c t uresque head-dress, ample trowsers , ) glossyaid fl o beards g s s e of the c o n tetn p O t t t on n m at the w e , • effeminatehis chin of the clipped and docked European. His arms, fo r a in the East all arm," usually consist of a pair of superbly chased pistols, stuck in a silkenlagrer sash ; an ataghan, with a jewelled han dle ; a and more clumsy knife, called a hanjar , and a scym e t a r swinging in a scabbard, covered with green or crimson velvet, (as the owner, being an Emir or otherwise, is entitled to carry it), and ornamented with bosses of gold. The latter, in general, the most important and v is, portion of his arms , or even of his pro perty.able alu valued at 200 or 300 dollars, and many are said to be worth triple that sum ; they all retain the name of Damascus, though it is by no means likely that they have been manufactured there. — The twisting and intermingling of the fibres of the metal a la rehevoe never lied seen as any th possessed the tests of excel lence,the but perfume said to be incorporate o d ss w s teel in the real Damascus sabres.—Letter - front the Levant.

William '.ihornell was indicted for poisoning Thomas Aspen , at Manchester, on the 9th of July, and Francis O'Neal was charged with aiding him. Mr. Aspen, the deceased, lived at Blackburn, a distance of 24 miles from Manchester; but being a man of strange religious opinions, and fancying that he had a call for that purpose, he sometimes tra velled about the country, preaching the doctrines of Johanna Southcote. He was altogether a man of .strange habits, and suffered his beard to grow an amazing length. His peculiarities procured him the nick-name of " Johanna." It was upon an excur sion to Manchester that he met the prisoners at a public-house ; he had a bundle in his arms, and some silver in his pocket. It has of late years become the practice of evil-disposed persons to get into the com pany of those whom they regard as proper subjects of their designs, and to mix laudanum in their drink, in order that they might become stupified, and unable to protect their property. It was with this view, probably, that the present offence had been committed ; but if proved, it would be clearly mur der. The Learned Counsel then stated the circum stances of the case. Humphrey Gordon.—l went into the Windsor- Castle public-house, Manchester, at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th of July, and saw a man with a long beard, the two prisoners, and another man and a woman, whose names I do not know. After I had drank some ale I said I was going to Salford. The man with the long beard said if I would go with him he would treat me to a quart of ale. I agreed to do so, and Johanna (witness throughout his evidence called the old man Johanna) and I went out together. He had a bundle and a stick. The others followed us. When we came to the Angel; I went away to take home the key of my door. O'Neal had then on his own shoulders Johanna's bundle and stick. When I returned, they had gone down Salford, and I went after them, and overtook Thornell and the other man. Thornell told me that O'Neal, the woman, and Johanna were gone into the Angel, and he asked me to go and have a glass of beer at the Nelson. When we were there, I heard Thornell say to the third man " I will rob that Johanna, and leave him as dead as a stone." I did not stay a minute after that, but left Thornell, and went to the Angel and told the old man what Thornell said. Johanna said he would have his bundle and go, but O'Neal said he would carry it. We all went out ' and Thornell and the other man came out of the Nelson, and met us. We then all went to the Cotton Tree. We went into a parlour On the left hand. The bar was at the front of the house, close to the parlour. Two glasses of rum and a pint of beer were called for. An old woman brought in the beer, and Thornell, who had been eut of the room, brought in a glass of rum. The glass was as full as any body could hold it. He drew a chair and asked Johanna to drink with him, and fed him with it. Johanna drank the whole glass. Thornell continuing to feed him with it, but drinking none himself. Immediately after he had drank it, he tried to throw up, but could not. He (Johanna) then rose to go out, but Thornell would not let him. I said he should go out; but Thornell said, I'll be if we won't have a song first." With much ado I got him out, and followed him into the yard ; he there tried to throw up, but could not ; I asked the landlord for lodgings for him, but be said he had none, and I said I would take him where he could have them.— They all followed us, and took him from me. O'Neal said, " thee, Bost thou want his money ?I' I answered " No, I do not, and I'll take good care you shall not have it." We went into the Moulder's Arms, the two prisoners following, the woman and the other man having gone away. We went into the tap-room, and one of the prisoners called for a pot of beer. I took the landlord aside, and gore him some caution, and his son came and stood at the door. I then went out for a minute, and when I returned Thornell was there; but Johanna and O'Neal were gone, and I never saw Johanna after wards. Johanna pulled out of his pocket eight or ten shillings at the Windsor Castle. John Owen, son of the landlord of the Moulder's A rm s—When the prisoners were there, they talked together in a very low tone. When the old man and O'Neal went out, I watched them near a mile, and I saw Thornell join them, and the three went into the White Lion. I then went for a beadle. I saw O'Neal, at my father's house, hand to Thornell a small phial, with something in it of the colour of porter. George Hull, a police officer, I went to the White Lion, and found the two prisoners and the John Robinson the elder, and Henry Nelson, for wounding and killing a mare, and wounding other horses, the property of George Green, were sen tenced to transportation for life. Sentence of death was recorded against John Kemp. MONDAY, &UT. This morning, at eight o'clock, William Robinson, s nrdt ue nr con victed wat een man o a n t nil Friday i a sfi d n a 3a y last l4. .en yearstf eo wife,sentence Ellen Robinson, at Clauge: th e age,o of w the f and u a l m w; u v r a d sT e r h o e f . h i i i 'on, near Garstang, posses sed of some little property. He was a widower with four children when he entered into his second marriage, and we understand his second wife was possessed of an income of about 501. a-year. It ap pears that she was very much given to drink, at which time she was in the habit of reproaching her husband with what she had done for him, (meaning the money she had brought him), which, she said, was much more than his former wife had done for him, only she had not brought four rotten chil dren into the world. This abuse of the children of the unfortunate man, who are afflicted with the king's evil, was urged by him in his defence on his trial, and he also affirmed that his wife flew at and kicked him several times on the legs. Mr. Jus tice Bayley, with his accustomed humanity, recalled all the witnesses, and inquired particularly if the pri soner had mentioned the latter circumstance before, or if any marks were seen on his legs, but from their answer it appeared that no such complaints were ever made, and that this was therefore an after thought to reduce the offence to the crime of man slaughter. Both the surgeons who gave their evi dence stated, that the bruises could not have been effected by one blow, but were the result of many ; that there were marks of pressure on the neck, and that the blows and the strangulation were each suf ficient to produce death. So that it was evident that the fatal result was not the effect of a sudden blow struck in a momentary state of passion, but was occasioned by repeated violence.. In passing sentence, Mr. Justice Bayley adverted to the CQP' duct of the wife, which he admitted was very blameable. From the time of his apprehension, we under stand that the prisoner felt convinced of his fate. He kept himself aloof from the other prisoners, and was very attentive to his religious duties, in which he had the benefit of the kind and zealous attention of the Rev. Mr. Rowley, the chaplain of Lancaster Castle. IDE LING V. DRIIISHAW AND OTIIIII6.

THE FLY BlRD.—This little bird, scarcely the size of a humble bee, builds its nest in the hollow of a leaf; choosing the calmest weather for the undertaking, it pierces the edge of the leaf with its pointed bill, and inserting a long fine withered' grass thread, laces the extremities toge ther. Within this small space it constructs its domicile, to which it descends through a small round hole near the stem. Its eggs are not larger than those of the ant. Outwardly the nest appears like a little bag of fine cotton, em broidered at the top with a very lovely foliage. pearanee is bey on d t h e scope ELOPEMENT. —Deserted from me, Daniel years, a e fe ar has On few days sCineSeO a woman who, f or t h e consorted with m e , an d h as gl Bartow, 3 e s n t cause e fie y f i l l ) e e r en disa ,ep p uted to be my wife.
