THE MARKETS --(THIS DAY) CORN-EXCRANGE. There was a very large arrival of all kinds of Grain last week, and an immense supply of 'Flour coastwise. This tnorning:!thefresh arrivals are moderate. Prime parcels of Wheat being. scarce, have obtained the prices of last Alonday, but' other; descriptions may be stated 2s. per quarter lower. •Barley for malting maintains its value, other sorts are Is. per quarter cheaper. Beans that ate dry are full Is. per quarter higher. Pease of both kinds Ire unaltered. The prices obtained for Oats on this day %e'nnight are fully maintained to-day, but the trade is not lively. The Flour trade is so very dull that it is difficult to state prices at present. The duty on Foreign Wheat la not nkely to be 20s. Sd. per quarter for some weeks to Come, though many sanguine speculators are of a different opinion. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) ----White (old) -. 3 . -s. Red :,,1529) .., 48s. 525.

(From the Intelligence of yesterday.) In consequence dr' the alarming repoess relative to the illness of his MAJESTY, we haie made inquiries in the proper quarter, and we rejoice in being able, upon the authority of an official communication, which reached us at an early hour this morning, to communicate the fol lowing authentic facts. It is not true, as has been stated in the Morning Papers, that his MAJESTY has been suffer ing from inflammation of the chest. The attack was in the bowels; and, although it was at no time so alarming as to induce his medical attendants to make any official communication on the subject to the different members of 'the Royal Family, it was thought proper to apprize the Duke of WELLINGTON of the circumstance,' and no time was lost in applying to the disease the remedies usual in such cases. Those remedies, and the natural goodness of his MAJESTY'S constitution, have produced the desired effect ; and we are happy to state that, at a late hour yes terday afternoon, all the unfavourable symptoms had been removed, and the attack had been succe*ded by a slight diarrhced, which was considered by his M.,a.raSir's Medical attendants to be the best thing that he coitlll'have. The first symptom of his MaJr.srv'i':aitack was a slight spasmodic affection,. attended with ough, a corn plaiat to which his MAJESTY has beets totyears occasion ally subject. • (From the Morning Pott.,s WINDSOR, APRIH 4--It is with lllHehrplealdre enabled most positively to contradict the reports, lately put forth by certain London Journals, of the serious and alarming indisposition of his MAJxsTY and the consequent constant attendance of two or more physicians. These reports so invidiously propagated, we have authority to state are utterly unfounded. The KING, as we have already stated, has been slightly indisposed with cold, caught whilst taking an airing in the Great Park. Sir HENRY HALFORD and Sir MATTHEW TIERYEY on their arrival found that his MAJESTY'S cold was with some in flammation, but of so slight a nature was the complaint considered by them, that Sir MATTHEW returned to his residence. Sir HENRY continued his visits only once a day, and has not been at the Castle since yesterday morning. His MAJESTY, we are rejoiced to add, is now considered so perfectly recovered, that when the weather permits he will resume his usual airings. The KING will hold a Council on Wednesday next. This morning the Rev. H. SEYMOUR performed divine service to his MAJESTY'S suite and a portion of the Royal Household, at the Castle. Yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND paid a visit to his MAJESTY at the Castle, with whom lie remained for two hours. (From the Windsor Express of Saturday.) The KING has, during the present week, been indis posed with a severe cold, which his MAJESTY caught during one of his late drives to the Royal Lodge ; we ale, however, happy to state that he is much better, and, had the weather been favourable to- day, would have taken his usual drives in the Park. We understand that LLOYD'S have pre sented the officers and ship's company of his MAJESTY'S ship Hyperion with one hundred pounds for their exer tions in saving the brig Planter and cargo, that ran ashore near Newhaven Harbour a short time since. The statement in a Morning Paper that Sir CHARLES BARING had committed suicide at his seat, St. Mary Cray, in Kent, is void of foundation. There is no Sir- CHARLES BAKING residing in that county, nor any gentleman of that name. A whisper has circulated in Liverpool that a dissolution of Parliament is contemplated. Ministers may be said to feel themselves too much dependent on the forbearance of the Whig party ; and, even under that con dition, to l:e less strong in votes than it has commonly been thought fitting that Government should appear. We allow tkese considerm,ions to be not without weight, yet we should'hope they may not be considered by Ministers to amount to that degree of embarrassment which would justify an appeal to the country.—Liverpool Advertiser. The Earl of MAR has presented a petition to his MAJESTY, claiming the titles of " Earl of KILLIE, Viscount FENTON, and Lord DIELTON." The KING for warded the petition to the House of birds, and their Lord ships have directed the petition to be considered by the Committee of Privileges. Captain CARDEN, from the full-pay of the 30th Regiment of Foot, has been appointed by the Com missioners Superintendant of Police fur the district of Hampstead. ANOTHER AFFAIR OF HONOUR !—TWO poulterers fought a duel yesterday about a pair of pigeons. This, we suppose, was to shew that they were not chicken hearted. One of them nearly escaped a shot in the giz zard, and the other was winged.—Dublin Morning Register. According to the latest inquiries into the amount of the different populations of the South American States, it appears that they contain near 21,650,000 inha bitants.—Mexico is the most populous, containing about 8,000,000. Brazil comes next, and has scarce half that number. It has been likewise calculated that in all Ame rica there are 11,650,000 persons who speak English ; 10,580,000 who speak Spanish ; 3,750,000 Portuguese ; and 1,250,000 speaking French : finally, 7,600,000 speak ing the various indigenous dialects,—.Paris Paper. We are enabled to state with confidence that, in the event of the Ellenborough Divorce Bill passing, Prince SCHWARTZENBURG has promised to marry Lady ELLYNBOROUGH. This is all the separation which the injurer can now give the injured, and we trust it will be made. A statement appeared in print, that Admiral Dwer, the father of Lady ELLENBOROUGH, had settled 10,000/. upon her on her marriage; this, we are autho rised to contradict. No such settlement was ever made. We have all the particulars, and shall, perhaps, give them in detail in our next,—lntellivence. 058- LITERATI ]U QUARTERLY REVIEW, N. S -LONDON, IS3O. If not a very brilliant., this is at least a very intelligent number ; the articles are none of them showy or glittering, but of a sound, useful, practical character. The first entitled " English Peerage" is an elaborate history of the origin of many of the families of our English Aristocracy. The following is a curious, if not an instructive paragraph : " The foundation of great families may, perhaps, be deemed an inquiry more curious than instructive. Hallam says, that almost all the richest of the English aristocracy derived their vast possessions from the spoils of the Re formation. This is not precisely the case ; but is partly true. It is well known to have been the case with the houses of Cavendish and Russell. The latter Burke, in his most indignant letter, provoked by a most ill-timed and cruel sarcasm, had made known to all the world, in terms of burning and inimitable eloquence. The widow of, Sir William Cavendish, Elizabeth Hardwick, who after wards married George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, amassed the greater part of the Cavendish wealth. She set up three sons—Henry Cavendish, William, created Earl Of Devonshire, and Sir Charles Cavendish, the father of William, Duke of Newcastle—all with immense estates. It was not that these estates were always gifts from the Crown ; but they were cheap purchases : the circulating capital being probably in no degree equal to the vast terri tories which were brought to market. But the Devon shire rentd received an enormous accession by the Bur lington property, made in Ireland in the reign of James I. by the great Earl of Cork ; and by the remnants of the Clifford property in Yorkshire. The foundation of the Fitzwilliam estates was, perhaps, by advantageous pur chases of abbey lands in the time of Henry VIII. ; but a great increase was made by acquisitions in Ireland in the reign of Queen Elizabeth; and, lastly, by the Wentworth property, through the present Earl's mother. The Lons dale wealth has mainly sprung, we presume, from the coal mines, on the ancient estates of that ancient family. 13necleuch has beeh 'an accumulation from heiresses, including here in England almost the whole 'Possessions of the_,Dukes of Montague. The Gower estates have Mao' mainly come by marriage, beginning with the Levesons ; but the grand augmentation was the canal property of the late Duke of Bridgewater ; to which are now to be added the Sutherland estates of the present Marchioness—a principality in themselves. The Grosvenor riches come mainly from an heiress, who brought in marriage the London building-land, about two generations back. The Spencer estates are the accumula tions of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, added to the paternal Sunderland property. The Northumberland estates are mainly the old feudal property of the Percys. The Rutland estates are chiefly the baronial territory of the ancient house of De Roos; the Portland are derived from that branch of the Cavendishes who were Dukes of Newcastle ; and those of the existing ducal family of New castle come from the Holleses. The Hertford were chiefly acquired by old Secretary Conway, whose charac ter makes a figure in the early part of Clarendon's History. It will hence appear that Mr. Hallam's assertion ought to be much qualified. The Marquis of Winchester, however, and Lord Pembroke, were great sharers of Abbey lands, as is noticed by Naunton." _ _ _ " Hardy's Travels in Mexico" is a short but spirited notice of a work which, from the nature of its details, and the way in which they have been wrought out, has attracted no slight atten- " Rail-roads and Locomotive Steam carriages" is, as its subject imports, wholly prac- ;1011. tical in its character. It strongly and judi ciously recommends the adoption of rail-roads and. steam-carriages, . and argues, with much plausibility, that "it would be:perfectly practi cable to travel with the utmost 'safety and comfort in steam-carriages at the rate of twenty miles an hour." A still•greater recommendation than this is the amazing cheapness of the steam-con veyance. " The distance," says the Quarterly Review, "between London and Manchester, or Liverpool, is two hundred miles, which cannot `tilVelre'r*pfeterit; - in - a - *Ler- 4 0rrie - Shan twenty hours, and at an expence Of at least three pounds. By the steam-carriage running along the rail-way, a traveller would be conveyed the same distance in ten hours, and at the compara tively small expellee of sixteen or eighteen shil lings." We are glad to find that the Quarterly takes up this important national subject in the same light in which we, in conjunction with the Scotsman, viewed it some months since. The institution of rail-roads and steam-car riages will give an impulse to commerce the benefits of which 'are at present incalculable. " Insanity" is an admirable expose of the late extraordinary case of' Mr. Davies , in which Dr. Burrows and a few more of that gifted and intellectual school—the mad doctors —exposed themselves greatly to the entertainment and edi fication of the public. The annexed strictures on Dr. Burrows's work, entitled " Commen taries on Insanity," are marked by truth and frequency. The remaining articles are each good in its way : " A third systematic work on insanity, produced by an English practitioner in mental diseases, is that bulky vo lume, entitled ' Commentaries on Insanity,' by George Man Burrows, M.D. The book is a wretched coippila_ tion of scraps, gathered from all sort of sources, and full of inaccuracies, from quoting at second-hand, or from me mory. This Dr. Burrows publicly acknowledged, but said the cause was, a thief had stolen his port folio, which might have been a good reason for not publishing the book at all, but certainly can afford no apology for publishing it in this absurd and use less condition. The author, in truth, undertook a task to which his mind was totally unequal, having neither the accuracy and skill of the compiler, nor the talents of an original observer and thinker ; it is lamentable that such a mass of trash should be in the hands of the English student of mental diseases, and go forth to foreign nations as a specimen of what the English mind is capable of effecting on such a subject." JULIO ROMANO. Lon:xis, 1830. We have just perused Mr. Bucke's new Epic Drama, in six books, entitled 44 Julio Romano, or the Force of the Passions," and have not been a little gratified. The language is poetical, and in places redundant, but uniformly spirited and expressive. We think, however, that the author is more likely to shine as a poet than a dramatist. His genius is not dramatic enough to ensure him any great popularity, whereas his poetic abilities are far above the level of the ge nerality of our modern " versers," as the late Mr. Elwes used significantly to term them. He has no sing-song cant about him, and this is no less a recommendation than a novelty. DARLEY'S FAMILIAR ASTRONOMY. LONDON, 1830. There is a vast deal of astronomical informa tion conveyed in a most winning and unassum ing manner in this delightful little volume, which, not less for the novelty of its plan than the extent of its intelligence, reflects infinite credit on the task and talents of its projector and editor, Mr. Dailey. A TREATISE ON AIECEIANICS..---LONDON, 1830. This lucid and scientific dissertation, from the united pens of Captain Kater and the Rev. Dionysius Lardner, forms the latest volume of Longman's popular " Cabinet Cyclopedia.' The! c, technical phraseology in the style, which is sinyle and intelligible to students of the very homeliest. capacities. Such a treatise on ineehanies.,n:science which hitherto, though ably and repeatedly, has been taut too elaborately and technically illustrated—was much wanted, and the present volume is the very one of all others best calculated to supply the deficiency. We present the reader with a few miscellaneous extracts : " TO REMOVE A TIGHT STOPPER FROM A DECANTER, " It frequently happens that the stopper of a glass bottle or decanter becomes fixed in its place so firmly that the exertion of force sufficient to withdraw it would endanger the vessel. In this case, if a cloth wetted with hot water be applied to the neck of the bottle, the glass will expand, awl the neck will be enlarged, so as to allow the stopper to be easily withdrawn." " METHOD OF SAVING THE WALLS OF A BUILDING FROM BEING 9SSTROYED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE ROOF. " The contraction of metal consequent upon change of temperature has been applied some time ago in Paris, to restore the walls of a tottering building to their proper po sition. In the Conservatoire des A;ts et Métiers, the walls ot'a part of the building were forced out of the per pendicult;r by the weight of the roof, so that each wall was leaning outwards. M. Molard conceived the notion of applying the irresistible force with which metals con tract*, cooling, to draw the walls together. Bars of iron were iroa were placed in parallel directions across the buildi;,v, and at right angles to the direction of the walls. Being passed through the walls, nuts were screwed on their ends, outside the building. Every alternate bar was then heated by lamps, and the nuts screwed close to the walls. The bars were then cooled, and the lengths being diminished by contraction, the" nuts on their extremities were drawn together, and with them the walls were drawn through an equal apiee. The tame process was repeated with the in termediate bars, and so on alternately until the walls were brought into a perpendicular position." "COLLISION OF BODIES. " When two bodies moving in opposite directions meet, each body sustains as great a shock as if, being at rest, it had been struck by the other body with the united forces of the two. " For this reasoti; two persons walking in opposite di rections receive from their encounter a more violent shock than might be expected. If they be of nearly equal weight, 'and one be walking at the rate of three and the other four miles an hour, each sustains the same shock as if he had been at rest, and struck by the other running at the rate of seven miles an hour. .0 This principle accounts fur the destructive 'effects arising from ships running foul of each other at sea. If two ships of five hundred tons burden encounter each other,'' sailing at ten knots an hour, each sustains the shock which; being at rest, it would receive from a vessel of one thousand tons burden, sailing ten knots an hour." " MECHANIcAL COLLISION EXEMPLIFIED IN PUGILISM. "It is a mistake to suppose that, when a large and small body encounter, the small body suffers a greater shock than the large one. The shock which they sustain must be the same : but the large body may be better able to bear it. " When the fist of a pugilist strikes the body of his an tagonist, it sustains as great a shock as it gives; hut the part being more fitted to endure the blow, the injury and pain are inflicted on his opponent. This is not the case, however, when fist meets fist. Then the parts in col lision are equally sensitive and vulnerable, and the effect is - aggravated by both having approached each other with great force. The effect of the blow is the same as if one fist, being held at rest, were struck by the other with the combined force of both." THE POLAR STAR.—LoNnox, 1830.

MYSTERIOUS DEATII.—About three weeks ag o, a young woman of rather weak intellect, named RUTH BARBELL, in consequence of being near her confinement, left Stockport to go her place of settlement, in Yorkshire. Nothing being heard of her for several days, her friends became very u neas y, an d wen t i n searc h o f h er . Aft er traversing a considerable extent of country, she was dis covered dead on the Holme I\loss, on Sunday last. The body was discovered by the person in search of her being attracted, by the manner and cries of his dog, to the spot where it lay, almost buried in moss. Her seducer is said to b 0 a married man. Her brother had been waiting for her at a public-house only a quarter of a mile distant from the place where the body was found. ORGERV and ROBBERY in THE CITY (From the Observer.) A paragraph hag appeared in the papers, stating that a pAing.inan; clerk t(3 A (14, , isinifi iii:.rt•hant, had absconded, taking - . tvith him 5,000/. the of his master. Thee is a mistake tzs to the amotrit of the rahtierf, an:l there is a very important omission, that of the perpetra tion of a forgery, which succeed e d as well as the other offence. the following are the facts of the case:—Cle ment Flindt, the son of Mr. Vlindt, lately member of the Stock Exchange, was clerk to Mr. .gartztr:da, the mer chant, of Broad-street, and had been, although no* uniy 19 years of age, very confidentially employed in the house, to which he had been attached between two and three years. Mr. Ilarranda, wit) banked at the house of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., it is said, had the highest opinion of him, and nothing occurred to shake that opi nion until it was found that he had defrauded the house. On the 31st of March, young Flindt, presented a cheque, purporting to lie of Mr. Birranda'a drawing, fee 500/., at the desk of the bankers, and immediately received tie cash. He had previously taken away whatever money he could lay hands upon, amounting, it is conjectured, to about 7001. ; and, although he absented himself, no SU, picion was enter tamed as to the cause, until a message was was received from Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., on the subject of the cheque. It appeared that the tailor em ployed by young Flindt to execute a sudden order, hail called at the hankers' with one of th-.? notes which bad been so lately given in payment of the cheque, and some con versation took place which led to the detection of the for gery of that instrument. The detection of the robbery immediately followed, and Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the committee of bankers, and Mr. Cope, the city marshal, commenced active inquiry and pursuit. Flindt, in order, no doubt, to recommend himself to the notice of his employer, pretended to be a student at the London University. It was certainly found that he resided in the neighbourhood of that building, but his ad dress was No. 12, Carmarthen-street, whets ha remained every night with a young woman named Sarah Kean, who had formerly been a favourite of the celebrated actor, and long frequented the saloon of Drury-lane theatre. With this female and her child, about ten months old, and a servant, whom be dressed up in a splendid livery, it was ascertained he set off, a few hours after he received the amount of the cheque, for Portsmouth, nut having succeeded in enga , ing a 'passage to America in London. His movements were very rapid. Mr. Gates and Mr. Cope traced hint from town to town, and the former re turned to London as soon as he found that the Marshal was on the right scent. Mr. Cope reached Portsmouth on the eve of the morning on which Flinch got on board the Co lumbia, which was about to sail for New York ; and the vessel could not have been out of sight an hour when he was on the beach. The idea of following the Columbia, • which was suggested by the authorities of Portsmouth, was rejected by Mr. Cope, who was not at liberty to take any extraordinary means for apprehending the culprit ; the expences attending the pursuit of Rowland Steehenson having in some measure deterred the Society of Bankers from authorising unlimited pursuit. The lady, it is said, prevailed upon him to make those preparations for his voy age. They were in the habit of supping in the Saloon, and at infamous houses, and of drinking the most expen sive wines, and they occasionally visited Windsor in a coach and four, with out-riders. Although their ac quaintance was not of longer duration than a few months, the moral feeling of the young man was completely de stroyed. It has been ascertained that be strongly calcu lated upon Mr. Peel's Forgery Bill giving a remission of the ea pital punishment, and that he wavered between the choice of a forgery for 500/. and one for 1,000/. NEST OF DARING SWINDLERS. Some of our readers may perhaps have noticed an advertisement which appeared hi the Times a few weeks back, in which a Sir William Freemantle offered to lend two thousand pounds to any respect able Barrister, upon " his personal security," and referred to a house in Half-Moon-street, Piccadilly, at which applications were to be made. We have reason to believe that several Barristers, anxious to avail themselves of so generous a proposition, were induced to try the experiment, and no doubt some have fallen into the trap, which turns out to have been laid for them by a gang of swindlers. One instance has come to our knowledge, in which a young gentleman of wealthy connections, who has chambers in an Inn of Court, was induced to call at the place mentioned, inalollthereititiriairea,lra" footman in livery, to a gentleman in appearancesnnd address, who professed his readiness to serve him, and told him that if he would give him his accept ance for 1,9001. at two years' date, he would pro cure for him 1,600/. To this proposition the young gentleman, after some hesitation, at last agreed, and four bills for 4751. each were drawn, but no drawer's name was attached. •To these he put his acceptar.ce. So far matters looked promisit:g, but the money had yet to be produced. Day after day passed, however, and no cash was forthcoming. At length, as the Circuit approached, the ne cessity for a temporary supply became more pres s'ng, the Barrister said he must have 3001. for his immediate wants, and wrote to his generous friend to that effect, who, in reply, declared he could not give him the money, but would give him bills on unexceptionable parties for the sum required. A note was then despatched, requesting that these bills might be sent immediately, as they were to be discounted at a banker's in time to enable the Bar rister to set off by the mail. They were not senr, however, 'till after banking hours, and then proved to be drawn and accepted by persons who had already appeared in the Swindler's Gazette, as wine coopers in the City. This at once opened the eyes of the victim of such gross deception, and he felt that he had involved himself in a snare from which he knew not how to get extricated. In this state of things, the circumstance came to the knowledge of his father, in Devonshire, in consequence of inquiries as to the respectability of his son's acceptances. — Alarmed at the intelligence, the father sent for his son, who at once explained the whole transaction, and both came to town with the view of taking steps to produce the restoration of the bills. For this purpose a professional man, well acquainted with the tricks of the town, was applied to, and he hit upon the following expedient for getting out of the diffi culty :—A note was despatched from the Barrister to his friend, in Half-moon-street, stating that he had been unable to procure cash for the 3001. bills sent him, but that he had found a gentleman who would discount his own acceptances for the 1,9001., provided they were drawn in a regular way, and who would be at his chambers that afternoon, if the bills were brought. This ruse had the desired effect. The Barrister, his father, and his professional friend, were in readiness to receive their visitor; and a knock coming at the door, the father retired into the bed-room. Mr. H. (for that is the first letter of this trickster's name) was announced, and being asked whether he would sign the bills which had been accepted by the Barrister, he replied in the affirmative. He was then assured that a gentleman was in the next room who would perform his promise of discounting them ; and Mi. H., drawing forth a long black pocket-book, produced the bills for the purpose of putting his name to them. At that instant the professional friend of the Barrister, in a very unprofessional, al though in a very justifiable manner, snatched the bills from his hand, crammed them into thy pocket of his inexpressibles, and seizing the disinterested and diconcerted Mr. 11. by the neck, addressed him in no measured terms upon his rascality. Mr. H. made a desperate effort to regain the bills, and ac tually tore the professional's pantaloons from the waistband to the knee ; but it was of no avail — the father came forth, and there being now three to one, Mr. H. was ejected vi et armis. The outer door was bolted, and after storming at a great rate, he went off to fetch an officer, but did not venture again to return. How many " unfortunate" fel- lows may have been plundered in the same way we know not ; but this exposure will, no doubt, operate as a lesson against all future money-lenders, whether Baronets or bankrupts. There is no doubt, had the bills got into circulation, that they would have been paid on coming to maturity ; and we fear many have been induced to part with their accept ances in a similar mariner, who will hereafter have painful reasons to lament their credulity, and who, from the apprehension of exposure,would rather Sub mit to the loss than subject themselves to the ob servations of their friends—a feeling of which the •Ag.. harpies of 11 0 1 f-moon-street no doni;-t — had iTe t mined to take advantage. It is 4caleis to say there is no such person as Sir William Freemantie iu eftinenee, and that this name vVas assumed, to render the bait more tempting, as well as to prevent suspicion. It is said that a certain Noble Marquis has fallen, among whe.s, into the trap to a pretty considerable amount, and we yesterday heard of a King's Counsel who Had been added to the list of' - dupes, but litre the mischief could not have been great, as hi: acceptances are not very negociable. COUNTY TIPPERARY SPRING ASSIZES. CLoNmr.t,, MAttetr 28.—The Assizes of this county commenced on Tinn.sddy last, March 25. The Commis si.in Court was opened by 00' Baron O'Grady as eleven o'clock, who charged the Grand Jury (of which the Hon. Francis A. Pattie, M.P., was Foreman,) at some length, on their important duties, and congratureed them on their being adequate to the performance. After the Learned Judge had remarked on the appalling st rte of clime in this cmmty, he concluded his eloquent and peculiarly forcible address, by telling the Magistrates, that if they do ntit rvr press crime theg must be reformed, —that filling the gaol is not duly administering the law, and th at one contufc. (ion, me/ten it meets the public mind, does more good for - the public safety of the peace than the acquittal of two persons. Some minor cases of little or no interest occupied the Coot t the remainder of the day, as also on Friday. Satur day 'sentence of death was recorded against three unfor tunate men, for the breaking and tiring into a house. It w•is one of those 501 up cases which has been the ruin and disgrace of- this county. It appeared on trial, that two were taken in the house after the breaking in of- the door by the police, who had received private inthrotati.in,s, and concealed themselves convenient to the house ; the third • man was taken in his own house, on the information of ene of the inmates, who had asserted he saw him amongst the gang. When the Jury returned their verdict, the two - former prisoners claimed the attention of the Court, boost acknowledged their guilt, and declared in the most post , tive manlier as to the innocence of the latter; one even app e aled to Chief Constable Wilcocks to the truth of this, and stat,d the informer was the man who laid the snare. and brought them into it. Though the'calendar is heavy, yet it is not marked with any of those savage and bloodthirsty crimes. which . have for the last few years characterized this county. • The Record Court was opened at twelve o'clock .on Thursday, by Judge Torrens. Some appeal cases, with three records, occupied the Court up to Saturday evening; • they were not, save one, of importance, which called forth Mr. Shell's eloquence; he was happy, and his speech elicited much a s ..iplause. This distinguished orator is still the fa vourite hi re with all, and is employed on every case o interest He is obliged to leave town to-morrow for Gal way, where he is retained specially.
