SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• A-. action bas been brought by a worthy York lb re attorney against Mr. Martin Stapylton, a eau. di late for the North Riding at the last election, to recover compensation for services performed in the plaintiff's canacity of election azent to th a t gent l e . man. It being proved, however, that Mr. Stapyl. ton% agents all acted g ratuitously, and that no at torney whatever had received one farthing for his aid on the occasion, a verd , ct was given for the de fendant. It is extremdy creditable to Mr. Stapyl ton that he should have pursued a mode of canvas _ . ani of election which tended ,o directly to remove the of corrupt practice, by diminishing to a mere no hing the sum total of those election charges which, when carried to the ordinary amount, have be , n made a c l oa k f or so muc h un l aw f u l and shameful hrilfrry. The purify of election never can be c , implete and unequivocal until all costs of every deectiption, save those of officers em ployed in the public service, for securing the legal correctness of the proceedings, shall he made to invalidate the return. We are, indeed, doubt ful whether the onus of showing good cause for ahsenre from the poll, and for the non-delivery o f his stiff age,ought not lobe thrown upon each elector, under a certain penalty—a provision which would stamp the exercise of the franchise as an important duty to the state. It is lati*lttable, and seems nearly unaccountable, that no clause was contained in the Reform Bill frn. the supp ession of bribery, or the P""is h rner.t tither of electors or of candidates who Thigh' be guilty of it; the question is closely incor 'porated with that of reform, and ought to have been settled with it. Here, for instance, is S afford, we may add Oxford, besides other places to which we may not yet legally allude, in all of %%hich noto. rious and recorded bribery has taken place; yet we have not heard a syllable about inflicting chastisement upon any of the criminal parries, whether individually or in mass. Onyht not such a place as Staf f ord, where .594 out of .59(3 vo ters were, without exception, bribed—ought not such a place, we repeat, to be utterly disfranchised and deprived of a privilege which it has abused so abominably ? Ought not some loss, besides that of his election, to be fastened by Act of Parliament upon any Member who is expelled for bribery from his ill-gotten seat ; and, in every case, ought not the candidate next on the poll to him convicted of bribery to be declared the sitting Member ? Much expense and delay at least would be saved by such an enactment, and the justice of it could hardly, we think, be impugned. The House of Commons has always lost character with the country for its coy ness and apparent repugnance to take strong mea sures upon this subject of election bribery. We must warn Hon. Gentlemen that it will not do much longer.— Times. Notwithstanding the declarations of Mr. Stanley and Lord Althorp, that Ministers had no intention of proposing this year a poor law for Ireland, we learn, from good authority, that there is every probability of such a measure being proposed ere long. We can easily understand why Ministers should have been unwilling to precipitate a measure of this kind; but, after the decided opinion expre:sed by all im partial persons acquainted with the state of Ireland, rind the manifestation of feeling in England, any inaer delay would be unpardonable. Mr. O'Con nell himself, who has twice already advocated poor laws, and twice opposed them, sees that the measure can no longer be delayed. There are people in this country, who, in spite of appearances, will maintain that England is utterly ruined. Mr. Att wood will have it that the labourers are all starved, and their masters all insolvent. The Commissioners, as to the administration and operation of the poor laws, on the other hand, will have it, that though we are not ruined by a change of currency, we are in a fair way of being ruined by our poor. We are spate alive to the evils resulting from the viciots admini-tration of our poor laws, and foresee tha• there will he some difficulty in curing these evils; but if Mr. Attwood has exaggerated the evils pro duced by a change of currency, these commissioners, on the other hand, have exaggerated the evils re sulting from the administration of the poor laws. We certainly see little evidence "that the evil, though checked in some places by extraordinary energy anti talents, is, on the whole, steadily and rapidly pro gressive." Compare the sums expended on the poor with the population, and it will appear that this ra pid progress is visionary.—Morning Chronicle. We have on very many occasions lately convinced our readers that we are enabled to an icipate all our contemporaries in priority of both foreign and do mestic information ; but in no ins , ance have we been more singularly fortunate than in our last num ber, where the news of that extraordinary event, the arrival of the Russian fleet in the Bosphorus, appeared exclusively in the Age, s ome hours before this Government received the official intelligence. Th.- Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries are cittviticed of this fact, that we have a ready and sure source of coming at their most secret move ments. In proof whereof, we last week alluded to Palmerston's private letter to the King of Holland, arid the Sardinian loan, matters wholly unknown ro any other journal ; arid we are now able exclu sively to announce the fact of a new French loan being at this moment opened, and privately nego tiating in England by English bankers, through the agency of Messrs. t ainhert, D'Haussez, and the Count Dumesney. Louis Philip is about to raise in this country 600,0001., secured upon that portion of the estates of the murdered Prince of Conde, which descended to his infant son, the Duke of Au merle The price agreed upon by the contractors is 9.5, .5 per cent. consols, and 5 per cent, bonus.; the re inn for this stock to be made at par, and the first payment to commence eight years hence, and be continued every succeeding year, until the whole is paid off; that is, we presume, if the family of the usurping Duke of Orleans continue to rule in France ; but of that probability the very fact of the loan itself is an answer. If Louis Philip did nor feel the instability of his mock greatness becoming every day more insecure, would he borrow money for the purposes of investment in the English and American funds, at such a rate of interest, upon landed property?—or otherwise it is clear, that the necessities of the infant Duke of Aumerle, a boy, about ten years old, we believe, cannot require this sacrifice ; and therefore it must be r. ceived as a pre cautionary investment of the wily Caizen King, to provide securely for himself and offspring, whenever his capricious subjects may choose to depose him. We do not expect to hear of much gratitude exist ing in the bosom of hankers and loan-jobbers, but we ask the respectable house who have taken this loan, after it was declined by Messrs. Ricardo, if they think it quite right, being the accredited agents of Charles X., and almost all the French Royarisis (having, as we know, received in one sum 180,0001. from Spain within the last year, on account of the Royal Exiles), ro rush greedily into the market, and incur the suspicion of employing Royal deposits and profits on Royalist agencies, in the cause of a traitor to his own family, and a usurping Citizen-King ? Has the head of the house we allude to, forgotten the splendid China vases sent him as a present by the Ductless d'Angouleme from Prague ? There is not a step. taken by Louis Philip that we cannot easily detect and expose.—Age. • Among the petitions presented to the House on Friday for the better observance of the Sabbath, was one from St. Helen's, in Lancashire, which prayed that all Saturday* and Monday markets should be done away, and that all travelling of every kind on the Sunday, even that of the Royal family, should be prohibited. However we may regret the fanaticism which has produced such a petition, we must admit that it is more consistent than those petitions which merely play LI the cessation of labour on the Sunday—for that cessation if partied must in a great degree put an end to business on • he Saturday and Monday. If travelling is prohibited on the Sunday, no letters can be delatched from • 'l' ,ere are wore market, days held on the Saturday in the provin , :•l townm, than on any odor day of the week, and the re on is obvious. Indeed the Saturday ii a trket.do) 411 over the kiopiera. London by the mails, or from any other place on the Saturday, nor can letters be received in London on the Monday. The market in Smitl field must he abolished, and the market days throughout the country must be altered, for they all depend, even if occurring on days in the middle of the week, on the transit of cattle and other farm commodities on tile Son.lay. It is, however, needless to enlarge on the changes which must take place in the corn. mercial with', were a law to be enacted, compelling a cessation of labour on the Sunday; and to do any thing le , s than go through with the mar, er, to enact that Sunday should he rigidly observed in London whilst letter. are delivered and business going on in the provincial towns, were sheer hypocrisy—a whitening of the outside of the sepulchre whilst the inside remained full of filth and rottenness. The Sr. Helen's petition goes to the root of the matter, and were it adopted, the petitioners, if they are of the trading class, would be among the fine to cry out for the restoration of the old system.—News. THE RUSSIAN DIPLOMATISTS. (From the Spectator.) The mysterious movements of Matucewic in the pursuit of sport, and the gormandizing cam paign of Pozzo di Borgo, are gradually unfolding them-elves, arid important changes are likely to rake place in the corp: di,plontatique of St. Petersburgh. Nuzzo di Borgo teas Itft us more puzzled as to our internal politics than he was b , fore he paid his visit; and though his intercourse, his conversations, and his dinners were with all sorts of people, the opini-ns and statements he has heard have been so contradictory, that he has confessed he cannot see his way far. Nor is this to be wondered at, when we consider how difficult, or rather impossible, it rs for pe sons within their own country even to unra vel all the links and , he net works of artifici society: rto doubt Pozzo has been hoaxed arid my - tified as well as others of t . e sane profession. He has left behind hen a Russian Count, who, by keep inz himself as much as possible out of the public eye,will endeavour to illuminate the w ly Rizzo. t is well known that the Emperor Nieholas o ill not receive Mr. Stratford Canning us our Atribassa dor at St. Perersburgh ; and unless anoth.r is sent, the Lievens will he withdrawn, and the business of the embassy placed in the hands of a Charge d'Af faires. By this manoeuvre we shall get rid of one of the most daring and artful intrigantes of the pre sent day ; and whatever the feelin g s of the Cabinet of Sr. Petersburgh may be, it is pretty certain tha' the present British Ministers will not weep very bitterly at the departure of a woman who has been a most inveterate and occasionally a very dangerous enemy to them. Many circumstances make it probable that Ma. tucewic (the Anti-Patriot Pole), will he appointed Charge d'Affaires for the Emperor. Possessing a degree of quickness, though no great depth of in tellect, and a remarkable share of that cunning use ful in the lower grades of diplomacy, he was sent to this country as a kind of private agent of the Auto crat; and the farce of protocol-making, in which he assisted, was all to advance other purposes un avowed. The time is at hand when Ashburnham House will he a deserted mansion; but the glories of Melton Mowbray are still rising. THE DRUMSTICK. (From the Examiner.) A little boy Chopped his drumstick into a well. From the servants up to papa and mama, each in ' turn, was implored to go down into the well for the drumstick : nobody would go into a well for a drum stick. In this strait Master Stanley (for that was his name) bethought him of an expedient. Some articles of pla e suddenly disappeared ; great were the alarm and conretnation, p tinfu 1 the suspicions. In the midst of the searches and inquiries Master Ned rushed in with good news—the plate was in he well. The well was instantly inspecte 1, and sure enough the plate was seen shining at the bottom. A man was let down, and piece after piece of the plate recovered. Just as the last ladle was fished op, Mister Ned pushed his way through the crowd, ind softly addressed the man at the bottom— " John, as you are down there, you may as well bring up my di umstick." This story explains the whole history and mystery of the pending legislation. The Irish Church is the drumstick. Every thing valuable is to be thrown down the well that that worthless stick may be saved. No one would budg- a step to recover such a thing; but when for another object John is down, he may as well bring up the drumstick. It will not be lao ful for the Lord Lieutenant to proclaim a district merely for the non-payment of tithes, as it was not permitted to Master Stattley to rummage the well merely for the recovery of the drumstick ; but when the other business is doing, it will be as well for the servant in scarlet livery to turn a hand to the Church. Happen what may, we are sure that it will tend to the redemption of the drumstick All precious things will be thrown down by Master S anley t hat the drumstick may be helped up, 'th rusters, of course, deny any such intention stoutly; they are ready to adopt any declaration that the lost plate is the obj-ct of the proposed descent, but when John is in the well a soft voice will bid him, as he is there, lend a hand to the drumstick. " Here is a loaded pistol, Captain Macheath, but it is unlawful for you to turn the lead to gold by making it an in strument of robbery." These prohibitions are very st ! gestive if suggestion were wanting. The thing must he apt for the use, or the use could not be for bidden. For the safety of the sinecure Church it is thought necessary to crush Mr. O'Connell. The Bill is a mrans to that end ; this ponderous ma chinery is devised for the grand object of putting down one man. The sword is to be suspended by a thread over a whole people, that its terrors may banish an obnoxious individual. Why will not Mr. O'Connell sacrifice himself for the good of his country ? He knows that he alone, under the sinecure Church, is the object of this tre mendous measure, and why will he not enac► a Roman part, and deliver a peipte from a tyranny ? Why will he not go with a knife to the Secretary for Leland, and kneel down and offer his throat to him ? It may not be in the nature of Mr Stan ley to consent to such a straightforward proceeding, hnt the same purpose will be answered if Mr. O'Connell hangs himself to the lamppost at It door. It is quite an immodesty in a gentleman, who is the object of a measure involving the liberties of a people, to walk about and continue the necessity for so cruel a law by his anti-tithe existence. Bur if he will not consent to die for the liberties of his country, let the Speaker ask him to dinner and poison him ; or let Ministers give some one half-a crown to assassinate him. We believe there are many of their creatures who would do it for love. All things should have appropriate means. Nothing is so cruel as the roundabout contrivances for mi.- chief, which, as Jonathan Wild finely says, is too precious a thing to be wasted. If we are to have a tyranny, let us have it with all convenient appli ances. Let there be an executioner in the lobby of the House to strangle disagreeable Members. Let the Lords employ the woolsack to suflocate any offensive persons. Or if the prevention of agitation be all that is desired, and the mildness of Govern ment be averse to the extremity of blood, let there be a Bastile with lettres de cachet for obnoxious in- dividuals, instead of tyrannical laws for a whole people. Mr. O'Connell, whose banishment from Ireland is aim,d at by these circuitous means en thralling a whole nation, might be permitted to live in an iron mask, or a cage perched at the top of St. Paul's. For all objects take the straight course, especially for tyrannical ones, as the circuits of op pression are superfluous cruelties. When Herod slaughtered the innocents he had the apology of not bein g able to oli , tinguish the particular one s hose destruction would have dispensed with the butchery J the rest. Our rulers have no such excuse in spreading their snares over a whole country for one Loan. Let them pass a Bill of Pains arid Penalties ngainst him, if they will'insist ou the forms of law (a monstrous piece of affectation, a vile prudish particularity, we must observe), let them do what they will but out-Herod Herod, and injure millions to destroy one. The plain truth is, that Al;nisters have frightened themselves and others into the cruell of coward:ce, but if they had the power of stopping up O'Con nell either by stricture of rope or duress, , hey would return to their serves and their moderation. At present fear has incapacited them and their House for legislation ; they cannot see things in their true forms and proportions; all is exaggerated in danger and remedy. Mr. O'Gnmell knows that he has fee-fa-fiimmed the poor things nut of their little wits, and he knows that he could put a stop to the Bill at any moment by hanging himself from the gallery of the House, and that nothing else can stop it. If, however, he doubt what we say, let him ask the question of Ministers, and then decide on his own suspension, or that of the liberties of his beloved Emerald Isle. 'I he cottrtsmattial dense of the Bill for the banish ment of Mr. O'Grrinell, and the collection of tithes, has been carried against a motly minority, some of the Tories having opposed it in consequence of al tet ations, which, in their fastidious judgments, have abated its vice. The military judges are not to be of the employed force, but picked ow by Govern ment, from the London clubs in all probability, and marched to Leland. Major Wyndham t,sr Du ill doubt. less be of the number, mid perhaps Maj) t might find a convenieitce in the jurisdiction. It seems to us that Mr. O'Connell tested his oh. section far too much on the suspension of trial by jury. We must admit that in a country like Ireland —st• eped rn fortiori, cliCtirnstances might exist ren dering juries unfit for the administrbtion of justi ce; but in no conceivable c rcumstances can men unp,ac tired in itivesitgatiou—in the eliciting, testing, and valuing of evidence—uriskiled in law —and its applicrtion to tact, be competent judges. What a volume of satire does the bare fact speak, that for the better adminis ration of justice in Ire land, judges from England must be had; and they are taken, not from the forum, but the barrack-yard. The Great Unpaid not bei .g trust-worthy, the next resource is the supple Half-paal. Apropos of the superseded unpaid vice the dogs of war, why does not some Member ask Ministets when they intend to remove them; for it is inconceivable that they can intend to continue a magistracy whose partiality and iticapac4y have been confessed. The Bill is to expire at a certain date; but as it is asked expressly on the score of confidence in-he present Ministers, (Mr. stanley having pu' the qu- s•l o t t rhos broadly out his Majesty', G •vertonent came to Parliament, saying," Have you sufficient conlitlence in us to place this formidable measure in our hands ?") and many Members having voted fir the law on that avowed personal reliance; considering these cir cumstances, we trust that at the p•oper oppor tunity some Mt-mber will move that the Act cease to be of force at the appointed date, or on the dis missal, resignation, or change of his Maje-ty's Ministers. This is not usual, we are aware, in legislation, neither is the enactment of laws invasive of public liberty on the score of confidence in arty particular set of mortal men; and the provision we suggest will embody the design of the Ministers and their supporters, and mot eover denote in the plainest way the despotic character of the measure On the same ground William the Fourth might be invested with absolute power. Despotisms would have their conveniences but for two draw-backs ; the fist is the difficulty of distinguishing the mart worthy of the trust; and the second, that when round and exalted he is depraved by the unbounded power. All inert in authority, said the wise and good Jefferson, have a tendency to become wolves if they be not jealously watch,. d by the people— trust them not. This is an argument against yield ing the confidence our Ministers demand; but if they wish to prey on the fl tek, the motive explains their asking the opportunity for the metamotpho-is of shepherd into wolf. In public afftirs, at least, the proverb of La Fontaine holds good—that sus picion is the mother of safety ; and the very sobei ation of extraordinary confidence is a reason for distrust. Wise and honest men would shrink from art encroachment which, if not abused by them, wo.ild be more likely to be drawn info a precedent and to be abused by others. But a price is pro mised for this accommodation; if the arbitrary pow -r be granted the remedial measures are to fol ow—aye, to follow; how far behind may be udged by the Church B 11. Witen the wolf hail a bone iii his throat he bid fair for the goose to extract it with her foolish till, bur when the goose claimed the reward, the wolf told her that she aas rewarded • nough in carrying her neck our of his jaws When Governments come to the people with stories of banes in their wolfish throats, the answ, r should be, Cl Let them stick ; if you had b err feeding like a creature of a regulated tooth, such a misfortune could not have happened to you. We will not open so dangerous a thr•roug•.tare." B fore our next publication it is possible that this villainous Bill will have passed. In that case we hope our Irish brethren will aptly interpret the example of Curtius. It is not necessary for them to believe that a hide was supernaturally opened in the Forum, and that he, completely armed, leaped into it, a here upon it closed. The meaning of the story is, that when dangerous chasms are made in the liberties of a people, the generous, the bold, the free, will fl rig themselves into the gulf, and gorge it with their sacrifices. Ir a few break the law they suffer its penalties, bur if the many break it, they break it to atoms—pulverize—utterly destroy it.

SINGULAR AND AFFECTING DISCOVERY —A ifiscoveiy of a vry affective kind was made, a few days ago, at Runcorn. A boatman picked up, at low water, a shoe containing the remains of a human foot, with the foot of the stocking. He •. as in the art of taking it to show his acquaintance, w , en he met a fellow-boat man, an elderly man, to whom he sly , wed the shoe and its contents. The poor m,n immediately recognised t. e shoe, from a patch on the toe, as having i•elonged to his own son, a young man of about eighteen, who had been drowned, about two years ago, near to the spot where the discovery was made. He carried the mid ,richoly relic home, and showed it to his wife, stating his belief that it nail belonged to their lamented The mothe, ex amined the stoking foot, which she knew to have belonged to h er poor child, from a peculiar darning she hail given the socking foot before his sudden and awful death.

RAMSGATE, MARCH 18.—One of those unfortunre cases of shipwreck, which so frequently occur on the Goodwin Sands, took place on Siturday last. At day break on that morning, our boatmen discovered a fine s hip on shore, a little to the eastward of the gull stream light vessel. Four loggers were immediately manned and put to sea, the wind at the time blowing very hard from the east; after great exertions they reached her, when she proved to he the American ship Marion, Snow, from Antwerp, homeward hound in ballast ; the boats kept about her the whole of the day endeavouring to grit her „if ; hut without success; and as the night approached, at the name time it coming on to blow still harder, the Captain and crew, together with the live stock and what few things could be hastily got together, left her, and ar rived safe in our harbour about nix, p.m. Today the boatmen tell us, who have been out, she still holds toge ther, though completely filled with water, and very deep in the sand. Stie was a fine new ship, only IS months old, and between 400 and 500 tons.—.Kentish Gaze*. LENT ASSIZES. NORTRERN CIRCUIT. —Yoga. NORTH RIDING ELECTION.-ROBINSON V. STAVYLTOH, The action was brought Co recover compensation for services performed by the plaintiff. an attorney-at-law, re siding in York, as agent for the defendant, Martin Sta. pylton, Esq., who, towards the close of last year, offered himself as a candidate for the North Riding in Parliament. He, of course, had a number of agents employed in can vassing, taking votes. acting as poll-clerks, &e. ; amongst the rest, Mr. Robinson, the plaintiff, was employed as a canvassing agent. Mr. Stapylon's principal agents on that occasion were Mr. Conolly, of London, and Mr. Garwood, of York, both in the profession of the law, who man aced Mr. Stapylton i e business during his absence. On the 16th of December Mr. Robinson applied at the committee-room to Mr. Conolly and Mr. Garwood to be employed as a canvassing agent He was told that the canvassing agents all acted gratuitously; he replied that he had no objec-ion to do the same, but added, that if others were paid, be should exp-et to be paid also. This was agreed to ; and Mr. Robinson, acting upon that retainer. spent the next three d ye in canvassing Mieklegate Wald ; and one of his clerks was employed during two of the days. On the 21-t and 2211 the plein tiff act.-d as poll clerk at York, in the booth Nm. 2, and one of his chief-clerks was employed as check clerk. On the 19th and three following days an other of his clerks was engaeed, with the defendant personally at Northallerton, and during the two former days the other clerk was also employed there in correct ing the lists of voters. So that the claim arose, first, in the person of Mr. Robinson, for his services as canvassing agent, and, seenndly, as poll clerk ; next, for the services of his clerk in assisting him in the canvass. and acting as check-clerk ; and, lastly, for the services of both clerks at Nutlialltrton. Amon : oat the items in the account delvered to Mr. Siapylton were two charges, one for the hire of the gie and horse which con• veeed the clerks to Northallerton, the other for mail-coach fare from that place to York, both of which had been p iid into court by the defend ant : therefore the ri st of the demand wan entirely for personal services, and the mmount claimed was 211. After evidence had been ad sitic-d for the plaintiff, Mr. Pommel( said it was extremely pleasant to breathe tie air of purity which pervaded this cause, especially after the dust of corruption which had arisen the other mi iy in Court. To use a cockney expression, it wa- quite r freshing. There was no piece in which Mr. M trtin Stapyltinee name had appeared on the walls or elsewhere, that his pretension- , to offer himself as a candidate ha not been coupled with the foiletving sta'ement :—" I have no paid attorneys, nor paid agents." And so struck had been Mr. Robinson with the contrast that the county was ahem to present to the city, that he had gone to the Caminmittiv-room, and there he in substance had said— " You, Gentlemen. friends of Mr. Martin Stapy ton, as aembled Ur the purpose of conducting his election on principles, it not of time utmost purity, at least as nearly so as is consistent with a necessary remuneration to those poor persona who may be employed, if you are desirous of having his election so condected, accept of my services as a canvassing agent." But, hark-e, says Mr. Gar wood, we pay no attorney—we pay no agents. Very well, says Mr. Robinson, if others are not paid, I am con rent. It was a little too much for Mr. Robinson to tender his services in that way, for a person who called himself a gentleman by Act of Parliament, to enter on his labours with a distinct disavowal of reward, and then, forsooth, because a decayed confectioner (and he meant no ilisiep , ct by the term), because a man who had failed in usiness through having become security for another had been paid, and because the poll-clerks and check-clerks had been paid ; oh, then, said Mr. Robinson, I'll be paid too ; and it they refuse, I'll have an action too! And so a man who pretended to move in a respectable line of lile was to be paid because the miserable poll-clerks and check clerks had not the means of affording their services gratuitously, one of whom, ton, was paid by Act o' Parli 'tient. He could not but feel ashamed that Mr. Rubinson should put himself upon a level with paupers and poll clerks, with cheek-clerks and decayed conf ctiosers. Mr. Thomas Wilson. of Layerthorpe, assisted as a gra 'uitous agent at Mr. Srapylton's election. Mr. Robinson applied to him on the morning of the 19th of December, to know if he could be of any service to Mr. Stapylton in ihe election. Witness told him he could, but he was to understand that all the work was done gratuitously by the attorneys and agents. He was taken to the committee room, where he was told the same by Mr Conolly. Cross-examined.—lt might have been said by Mr. Rebinson that he should wish to be paid if others were. Witness was on the committee. Mr. Win. Garwodil, attorney, York, acted gratuitously alone with Mr. Cot-lolly as stint ney for Mr. Stapylton Remembers Mr. Robinson coming to the committee-ro in, yhen he agreed to give his services the same as the rest. No attorney or agent was paid any more than their expenses. Crass-examined—Mr. Robinson sent Mr. Stapylton an account of hie demand very •hortly after the election. Some of the poll-clerks at Yolk were paid. R- examined—Mr. Robinson did not tender his ser vices either as poll or check-clerk, but as an attorney ; not one of the attorneys have been paid. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the de fendant. LANCASTER, MARCH 22. Peter Sharpie:, William Smith, and Leonard Green were put to the bar charged with having telonioumly as saulted Nathaniel Cook, at Layton, near Preston, in this county, and given him several mortal wounds and bruises, whereof he died. The three prisoners had been at Chnrley on Sunday, the 25th of November, drinking, and returned late at night towards Preston, and met with the unfortunate deceased in Layton-lane. A a itcess sp,ke to having pissed the deceased, and shortly after meeting with the three pri soners going in the direction toward him. After the wit ness had passed them a little way he beard a scuffle and a cry our, and afterwards all three of the prisoners came running hack. The deceased went on, arid was heard to say. t. You villains, I know you all, I will make you beg to me for mercy to- morrow, as I have begged for mercy to you to-night." He went a little further along the road and expired. Some persons came up, and a woman who hid heard a scuffle procured a lantern, but the poor man was quite dead. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case, and the Jury found all the prisoners Guilty. Tory were sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. William Kay and George Morley were charged with having, on the 16 h of °wither last, assaulted Henry Longworth on ti e highway at Duxbury, and robbed him ot 10.4 and a box ; and also with having. on the same night, assaulted and robbed one John Rosthorn, on th highw .y at Heat..

Many Wright w a s indi c t e d f or t h e murder of her hus h 'Lid, by «dmiiiis «ring arsenic ro him in a plum-cake. Mr EvaNs conducted the case. The deceased w is a I di biiurer in the employ of a per• on o f t h e name o f %V a l es , at Wi g iton, in this coun ty, an d on t h e I s ' d ay o f D e e.d.mber last was sent by his ma s t er t o th e vi ll age o f Cl a y, with a lad of c ire. About two o'clock in the a fterndin, just as he w as a b out to return h ome w i t h hi s e mpty team, he was take. violently ill, a n d wa s re mo v e d in a state of gr e at agony to a pu bli c -h ouse . A was sent for a n d proper reme di es app li e d , an d t h e possible att e nti on was pai d to hi m, b ut, i n sp i te utmost these endeavours t o save hi m , t h e man di e d on t h e following ,l morning, the 2di of December, which was on Sunday. It was at first imagined that he had died 01 cholera, and he was therefore buried on the day afrer his death. In the course of the same day, however, the fa ther of the prisoner died also, under very suspicious cir cumstances, awl as he lived with the prisoner and her husband, the suspiciiin rested on her. The body of the husband was in consequence disinterred, and the Coroner's Juries returned verdicts of wilful murder aeainst the pH soner. On examining the sromach of the deceased, it was found to contain an appearance of some acrid matter. The tests for ascertaining the presence of arsenic were ap plied by competent medical men, and the result was such as to leave no doubt in their minds that the husband apd the father of the prisoner both died of poison, and that that poison was arsenic. In order to connect the pri soner with this atrocious double murder, it appeared that about a month before the death she had applied to a girl of the name of Anne Cross fir some poison, for the purpose, as she alleged, of killing rats. This girl gave her some white powder, but what it was, or what b« came of it, was tact at all eatisfactorily shown. It was attempted, on the part of the prosecution, to show that the prisoner was about that period jealous of her husband, whom she imagined to be too intimate with a woman named Bright. Two days before he died she observed to another woman that " she should not mind running a knife into him, or doing his business in any other way." On the same day she went to the shop of a druggist, but, as there were other persons there at the time, she said to a woman who was with her. that " she would wait till they came out, when she would go in and ask for the arsenic for Frost, the rat catcher, who had gives her sixpence to buy some." Frost, on his examination to-day, said he never authorized the prisoner to purchase any arsenic or other poison for him. She then went to the shop of Mr. Bull, a chymist, and asked for sixpennyworth of arsenic; anti, on being told that that quantity would poison all ther its in the country, she pur chased three-pennyworth, weighing three ounces. She told a person on the following day (two days before the death) that she had bought some suet at Mrs. Leader's to make a short cake. This person replied, " What, then, you've a short cake for dinner ? ' To which the prisoner answered, " No, not fur dinner ; I shall have to look for my hush nd and father, and shall make a short cake, sure enough, bu' net for dinner." This chain of circumstances constituted the principal evidence against the prisoner. In ad iirion to a denial of the fact, a defence of insanity was put forth by the accused ; and Mr. SYDNEY TAYLOR, who was counsel for her, proved that her mother had been fur a lonz while confined in a lunatic asylum. Besides this, a Mrs. Frost, who hod assived the prisoner in the delivery and nursing of her family, proved that about. Easter last she (the prisoner) was confined, and after a very severelthour was seriously ill—so much so as, in the opinion of the witness, to produce insanity. S!,e burst her child's cradle, set fire to the chairs and bedding in the house, and could never bear to nurse het infant. Once, during the harvest, 'he went to the nurse in the field. mod tuulf her th it she was going to gavier a quanity t f kidney-beans, and invite all the beat r folk to hav e a fuelic. She then returned home and took a raz it., and proceeded to the fieds with it ; but byinz followed by her husband, she turned hack. She frequently told the witness that slue haul seen the devil sitting a-top of a tree. Before this malady coming upon her she had been very neat and c can in the management of her house, but since then she could not hear to have it cleaned. Mr. Cross, an eminent surgeon in this city, and one of the witnesses for the prosecution, stated that, supposing the account of this witness to be true, and looking to no other circumstances, he was of opinion that doting the period spoken to by her the prisoner was not in a sound state of mind. The period, however, was only from Whitsuntide to Michaelmas (when the witness quitted her service), and cohsequently did not bring the alleged in sani•y within two months of the death of the prisoner's husb ind : and the other witnesses in the case had not ob served ahy symptom of insanity at all. Toe Jury found eh! prisoner Guilty, and that she was of sound mind at the time of committing the murder. The Leaned BARON immediately pissed sentence of D •ath on the wretched woman, in an address which, from the impressive terms and manner in wh ch it was delivered, had a very powerful effect upon the feelings of the woman awl the auditory. This being over, Mr. TAYLOR, on behalf of the convict, put in a plea in bar of her execut on fur the present,— thatshe was in a state of preenam.y. Mr. Baron BOLLA ND then direc•ed the sheriff to sum mon a jury of matrons to try the truth of the plea, and after some delay 12 married women were put into the jury box, and sworn " to try according to the best of their aoility and skill whether the prisoner was pregnant with a quick' child," and to deliver a true verdict on the pre mises. The jury retired, and after an h , ur's examina tion of the woman, they returned into court with a verdict that the prisoner was not pregnant with a " quick" child. This unusual proceeding excited great interest in court; no one, probably, of the spectators having ever before wit nessed a similar scene. Mr. TAYLOR Okayed to the Court, that the supposi tion of a •' qu ck child," upon which the old law was founded, was an ancient error, s whieh the progleis f science in modern times had exploded, and the best me decal jurists repudiated. It would be a serious responsi bility if an innocent life were taken because law rejected the light of science—medical men were better authorities than unlearned women. The Learned JUDGE observed that the I,w impose 4 cer tain dude.; upon him which he mu•t perform, but he would take the su ject into his -erious consideration. This day (Saturday) Mr. Baron BOLLAND informed Mr. Taylor that he had considered the objection which he had made the evening before, and had consulted three eminent medical men, and the result of the inquiry we-, that he had come to tbe determination not only to stay the execution, but to respite the sentence generally. We omitted to mention that during the trial the pri sorter fell upon the floor suddenly in strong fits, and was carried out of Court. where she received medical assistanc,., which delayed the proceedings for some time. When sentence of death W4B pronounced she spin fell in a si nrlar fit, and her •bricks and apparent agony produced a general sensation of horror throughout the Court. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.--DERRY, MARCH 22 The assizes for this county commenced yesterday. There were 56 prisoners, and 15 causes for trial.
