PETERSBURG. • The Journal de St. Petersbourg contains a semi :, official article, in which it is said that the sub stance and tenour of the secret correspondence pub , "jailed in Loudon by the British Government was long before communicated to the Sovereigns of •Prussia and Austria by order of the Emperor. The Augsburg Gazette, which is well known for its Russian tendencies, endeavours to account for the absence of G-eperal de Rochow,the Prussian am. bassador, from the Te Detort lately sung at St. Petersburg in honour of the passage of the Danube, by saying that the state of hiS health would not permit it, but it adds that he is now better. e 1 91 Vienna. sheulfl he Ftruck out—f2rit vay.L •A, L., it. loielg,l relation , , ttie Uouiederation ,conhti tuteB a collective power, e,t iblished on a principle of political unity.'

They Were, at the date of the letter (14th), at the Military hospital. They have not been able to lay a Complaint before their respective consuls, as those f unctionaries are absent, and the agents left by them in their places have received official notice that if they continued their functions they would be transported into the interior of Russia. I 3 ERLIN, April 17.—According to a report from M. Meroni, Consul at Belgrade, it is a mistake to Ppose that the Austrians will soon enter Servia. Servians are so jealous of the observance of their neutrality, that the entrance could not take Place Without resistance. TURKEY IN ASIA. The Constitutionnel states that the Turkish Go -I?rnment has received information from Haireddin th e commandant at Kars, that a certain 1 4 1 1 1 reber of P o li s h d eser t ers h a d arr i ve d i n that who stated that more than 12,000 of their u evr - countrymen would quit the ranks of the sllesian fi army the moment they should see a Polish g Ying in the Ottoman army.

THE GERMAN POWERS. A letter from Berlin says :—" On the occasion 1 / 1 the late overtures made by the Czar through , l ike George of Mecklenburg, the Emperor of fkustiia wrote a letter to the King of Prussia, in w hich he said that the Russian propositions were let Of a natu re t o b e a cce pt e d by A us t r i a a nd s till sby Prance and England. The Emperor in this la tter set forth th e A us t r i an p o li c y more m i nu t e ly t han he had previously done. If Russia attempts make progress on the Upper Danube, the Em peror will not _hesitat e , f u r an i nstan t t o a tt ac k Em peror A. letter from Berlin, 17th, in the Pays, says : „ I think I can pos i tive l y a f fi rm t h at, t h anks t o attitude assumed by France and England, to the efforts which Austria is still making • to induce the whole of Germany to unite with Europe, and to the very energetic movement produced here in public opinion ant. in the official world, the Prussian government has fully subscribed to the treaty of alliance Proposed by the Court of Vienna. It will be. I think, clearly established that; in case Austria should have to act for Le protection of the Ot• °man territory or her Trovinces, she will be supported by Prussia, her ally. hus, the German Powers, after having signed the pro tocols of Vienna, protested with the Wester. Powers • iii favour of 'Turkey, and against the unjust aggression • of the Czar, will be led by the logic of teeir situation, of their interests, and of their anterior resolutions, to unite in the active intervention of France and England. I have before said, the inoveineut of public opinion Las become here very favourable to the policy of the 'Western 'Powers. I shall say nothing of the language ?fthe German press, but I will affirm that, in political and official circles, the parti,•ans of Russia scarcely • uSre ,to defend a cause already so much compro-• ; til ise 4 l . Clear and rather warm expressions have beau a ttributed to the Hereditary Prince of Prussia, and t he army, 'which until very lately had maintained great reserve, now begins to declare energetically a g a inst Russian policy, and in favour of the Western P owers, who have given to Europe a double example of teo deration and of firmness. I inu::t tell you, in con ' e c l u sion, that w ithi n th e l as t f ew mou th s a com plete nge h as t aken p l ace i n G ermany i n pu bli c op i n i on towards 4 the French nation and its government ; for a lon g time past F rance h as neve r en j o y e d at Vienna, at Ite r un; at Frankfurt, and throughout Germany such a egitiruate influence, and such true sympathy, as at pre sent." The following letter from Vienna appears in the JOlOll4l de Franefort e learn from a certain source that immediately after Mteeter holidays, the Eastern question will be carried ore th e Germanic Diet. There is no doubt that in the ° Pasition w hi c h will probably be common to Austria and Prussia, the case o f an active participation of the two reat German powers in the conflict will be spoken of. that tak es place, Austr i a an d P russ i a w ill, it is true, 4:enci their own interests, but, at the same time, also t es; os e - uf all Germany. They may then with perfect pro o demand from the Germanic Diet that it shall come , v. 0.. r a p t r esolution, declaring that the Confederation shad su keep its military forces ready for such an eventua -IV. But the opinion has been accredited, or rather an has been made to cause to be credited, , the opi laitnaein,,,_th.at the participation of Austria in the combat to ea _ “b 4 in the integrity of the Ottoman Empire in nowise . .thucerns the Germanic Confederation, because no part of i et T e) urrirkte: y a o n f d t , be latter is directly menaced. Abstraction —l / 4 ° of the fact that a war of Austria for the interests consequently, for the maintenance of the nr°Pean equilibrium, coucerns essentially also the Ger ullfe Confederation, and that, consequently, it is lillutlly the duty of the latter to contribute to prevent the nect of the Confederation (which is the maintenance of e . foreign and internal safety of Germany, and the in tiePendence and inviolability of the Confederated States) ...Mtn being in any way embarrassed in the present or the teture, the final act of Vienna contains, besides, very Posi tive engag emen t s f or a ll th e mem b ers o f t h e Confe deration, It is tru e that rticle 46 says : When a :Xu o 1 fe r a n d can rated state, having possessions beyond the limits of the C on f e d eration, undertakes a war it) its quality of power, the Confederation, whose relat.ons and t a b ligations are not afft cted by such a war, retnams abso lutely a str anger to i t. ' But if A uetria takes part in the 'War which has already broken out, she doe r s so at the Mole Mine f the most important German interests, Which would b or e greatly menaced if Russia, already so strong, sh ou ld obtain an incresse of power. It cannot oe pretended that the active participation of Austria in the Present conflict would be a war not affecting the relations of the .Confederation. It is then perfectly within the Power of the Germanic diet to deliberate on the question whether, and to what extent, the Confederation should arm itself in order to afford her a co operation eventually necessary, and to adOpt on this subject appro- Priate resolutions. That is so touch the more true, as art.,47 of the final act of Vienn a says :—' In case sech a State shall be menaced or attacked in its possessions, riot included in the Confederation, the latter shall not be obliged to take measures of defence or an active part in the war, until after the Diet shall have recognised in Permanent council and by the plurality of votes the exis tence of a danger for the territory of the Confederation.' But if a state of war should arise netween Russia, A u , 44, and eventually Prussia, it would be but little politic) to desire to wait until the Russians enter into a part of the territory of Austria or Prussia belonging to the Ger manic Confederation. A war of Russia against one of the great German powers, or agains t bosh, menaces in an y ,ease the territory of the Confederation, and the G ermanic Diet ahould adopt in advance in this r B Pect th e necessary reso l ut i ons . These resolutions,ac aes(lrdlag to the a l rea dy quoted article, and to Art. 11 of e `'"e final a c t of Vienna , are to he adopted b y the pluFa 'V of votes and in permanent council. The unanimity be Art ; 40 of ° l. vote s is not even necessarfor a declaration of war,. e obliged to declare war formally, the declaration can the said act says:—` If the Confederation ?bly emanate from the general assembly, voting accols pto the established rule, by the majority of the two ollis of the suffrages.' Art. 41 says The resolution gee in permanent council on the reality o f a clan ' ' er of a hostile attack renders all the confederated States • 128Pcmsible for the measures of defence which'the Diet moY have judged necess ar y.

LECKHAIf, Baron FORTH ROUEN, T. WYSE, N. DE THILE. " Athens, March 20, 1854." - News was received yesterday, says a Constanti nople letter of the 10th inst., that the Arnaut B°l - iers at Prevesa had sallied out, burned 15 villages, massacred the men, violated the women, and car ried off everything valuable. The British Ambas sador is said to have been extremely indignant at this outrage, and to have demanded of the Porte the inmitbdiate and exemplary punishment of the offend ers. The cruelties committed on both sides in this dreadful struggle seem to equal any that took place during the former revolution. No prisoners are taken, and not unfrequently women and children share the fate of these captured with arms in their bands. No reliable accounts reach this place as to the progress of the movement, but it seem; to be extending in area and deepening in ferocity. Un less the troops lately sent for from Egypt succeed in restoring tranquillity, there seems no likelihood of a speedy close to these troubles, for the Porte will require every available man for the Danube and the Caucasus, while the insurgents are receiving addi tions to their numbers every day. Three-fourths of the Hellenes expelled from C..nstantinople and. Smyrna will probably set off for the frontier imme diately on arriving _at the Piraeus. Subscriptions are being openly made in Athens for the purpose of the war, and persons of all ranks are contributing largely to what is represented as a patriotic struggle. Even those who disapprove of the movement are obliged by the popular excitement to lend their aid. The Court, even if inclined to oppose the movement, is totally powerless. That the signal of insurrection has been given by the Czar is probable enough, but the outbreak is not the less a national movement, and has been long expected by all acquainted with the country. The publication of the secret correspondence between the Czar and the English Ministry has opened the eyes of the educated to the folly of exp .cting the independence of their country from Russian aid ; but the great body of the people, led by their priests, still consider the cause of Nicholas as their own, and count upon his sincerity and the prothises he has made in their favour. The clergy are almost all Russian partisans, and the Czar stands high in their favour on account of his supposed devotion to. the Church, and by means of a judi cious distribution of ecclesiastical furniture, in the shape of plate and altar cloths, to • the poorer churches throughout Turkey and Greece. FRANCE. DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH FLEET. The Baltic fleet has sailed' from Brest for-the Gulf of Finland. It conveys the expeditionary force, consisting of infantry, artillery, and 1,790 horses. The fleet includes 23 ships, and 1,250 guns. The French naval force in the Black S. ea is 26 ships, 1,120 guns, and 4,960 horsess; and the second squadron, under Admiral Bruat, 10 ships, 622 gnns and 2,880 horses ; upon the two seas the French have a total strength of 56,000 men, sailors and marines, and the English an equal force. The Emperor received on Wednesday at a pri vate audience, the Count de Hatzfeldt, Envoy Ex traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Prussia, who presented to his Majesty a letter from his govereign. The Emperor and E presshonoured the Gymnase with their presence on Wednesday evening. The Monitear, after announcing the departure of the Duke of Cambridge for Vienna, on his way to the East, states that his Royal Highness is accom panied by the Marquis de Toulougeon, orderly officer to the Emperor. Of the contents of the letter, which is, in all probability, the reply of the King of Prussia to the communication recently made to him, there is as yet little known out of doors. It is stated in official quarters that the document in question has given-" satisfaction," though it is admitted that it contains no pledge that Prussia will take part against Russia when hostilities commence. How it can be called satisfactory it is hard to say. Lea reste, the reception given to the official bearer of the Royal missive is described as being of the most distinguished kind. His Excellency was intro duced by the great staircase, and the soldiers on guard beat to arms to receive him. ' The Duke of Cambridge arrived at Strasburg yesterday morning on his way to Vienna, it is said, to congratulate the Emperor on his marriage, and left again at half-pas' 10 for Frankfurt, accompanied by one of the Emperor's aides-de-camp. It is scarcely doubtful, although many circum stances may be thought to combine to render such an event extraordinary, that he is going to stay at Vienna to be present at the Emperor of Austria's marriage. M. de Hubner, the Austrian Minister, left :'aria ou Tuesday avowedly for that purpose, on a conge of ten days. Another explanation of the route taken by the Duke, to which little credit is attached, was circulated at the Bourse. It was said that he would not stop at Vienna, but was making the best of his way to Belgrade, and thence to Omer Pacha's camp, where he would arrive before any English troops. Another version is, that he is merely going to Trieste in order to have a shorter sea passage to Constantinople. There is little doubt, however, that he will stay in Vienna' for the Imperial marriage. Vely Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador, has re turned from Toulon. The Hercule and the Trident have arrived from Toulon at Brest, to join the squadron of Admiral Parseval Deschenes. Prince Napoleon, before quitting Marseilles, I paid a visit to the hospital, and when there ex- I pre ised much interest in the situation of a gendarme who had the day before been thrown from his horse whilst forming part of the escort of his Imperial Highness. After travelling by post from Marseilles to Toulon, the Prince got on horseback at a short distance from this latter place, and entered the town in procession, ac companied by all the civil and military autho rities, who had cowe out to meet him. The next day, being Easter Monday, the Prince, early in the morning, visited the vessel whiCh is to con vey him to the East. At ten o'clock he heard mass at the church of St. Louis, shortly after re viewed the troops, and then went round the har bour in the Solon steamer. In the evening a grand dinner was given at the Admiralty, at which were, present Vely Paella, the Turkish Ambassador ; General Furey, commander of the reserve division of the army of the East ; General d'Aurelles de Paladines ; Admiral Linreul, the Prefect of the Var ; and a number of the principal fun°-. Lionaries of the place. At the dessert, Admiral Dubourdieu, the Maritime Prefect of Toulon, pro posed the health of the Emperor and a f Prince Napoleon. His Imperial Highness acknowledged the compliment, and then proposed the following toast :—" To the Navy, the noble sister of our land army, which - is about to play so great a part in the, war against the Russians. To the brave Admiral Da tie b Empireourdieu, who must permit me to remind h im here that o ur two fathers fought together fifty years ago, oii r,boa rd the Veteran, in the first wars of bar, but of Montalembert, in his approaching trial, will, it is st a t e d, h ave th e p ro f e ssional assistance of fou ß o e f r, r t y l leer most m eminent advocates of the.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 15th mentions, from Parma,' the somewhat improbable statement that the father of the late Duke Charles 111. has objected to the present arrangement by which the Duchess is Regent for her son Robert 1., on the ground that he had abdicated in favour of his son, and not of his grandson. Field-Marshal Rwietzky arrived at Venice on the 13th on his way to Vienna. The Giornale di Roma, of the 12th, contains a list of works condemned by the Holy Condregation of the Index. The author of a book entitled "Ad monition against the. Innovations and Exaggera tion of the Catholic Church of liermany, - M. Joseph Buckard Leu, - which - was condemned. on the 13th of February last, has since made his sub mission, and acknowledged his errors. A letter from, Rome, of the 10th, in the Parla ment° of Turin, contradicts - the statement which has •appeared in all- the papers, that the persons implicated in the affair of Count Rossi's murder had been already condemned to varipus punish ments. The fact, according to this correspondent, is, that no sentence whatever has been hitherto pronounced ; but that an opinion had been emitted by the First Chamber of the Tribunal of the Consulta, which may have led to the false report adverted to ; the more so, as the sittings had been interrupted, which led many to believe - they had been closed. This suspension of the sittings was caused by one of the defendants offering to make some disclosures ; but they were resumed some days after, when it was announced by the Advocate-General that the disclosures which had been made did not affect the main question, and could only be regarded as an incident. But the ad vocates for the defence having applied fora copy of the said disclosures,these were refused by the pre sident of the.court, whereupon the former withdrew with a protest, and the sittings were again ad journed. .

The Gazette published, under its official head, a declaration from the Bank of St. Ferdi nand to the effect that there had never been the slightest ground for •the uneasiness respecting it manifested by the public, anti which, for three days, had caused a great run on the establishment. It states that its affairs are in the most satisfactory state, that its relations with the Government are on the best footing, and that it will continue to meet all its engagements. The Junta of Commerce has also published a declaration that 'it has examined the accounts of the Bank, and finds that it is fully provided with the means of paying in specie all claims that can be made upon it. MANSION-.HOUSE.-(TIIIS DAY.) THE CHARGE OF RECEIVING TEN THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH OF STOLEN GOODS. This morning, as soon as the night charges had been disposed of, Moses Moses, of No. 30, Gravel-lane, Hounds ditch, general dealer, was pladed at the bar of this court, before Mr. Alderman Moon, who sat in the place of the Lord Mayor, upon examination, charged with having been found in possession of an immense quantity of pro perty, forming portions of the proceeds of nearly all the robberies which have occurred in the metropolis for a long time past. Mr. Ba lantine, Mr. Medina, and Mr. Barnet, in structed by solicitors, were fur the accused. The Court was de'nsely crowded, in consequence of the highly respectable character borne by the prisoner, who has been a large purchaser of stores from Government. The fresh evidence gone into this day, up to the e time of our going to press, was that of a burglary at Messrs. Hargreaves, shawl and Manchester warehousemen, of Gresham-street, which took place upon February 14, when shawls and other goods, in value nearly 400 i., stolen. The burglary was effected by the thieves forcing an entrance from the front door, and got clear off. Information was given to the police, and upon the prisoner's place being searched, nearly the . whole bulk of the property, done up in parcels as origi nally sent ) was found. The case of receiving the bale of wool, value 201., stolen from Mr. Bates' warehouse, and which led to prisoner's apprehension, was also completed ; and frOm the evidence of Mr. Chadwick, who acted as agent, and was first charged with this offence, it appeared that when prisoner gave him some samples oithe stolen ware, he (Mr. Chadwick) took them to the person from whom they were stolen. -The prisoner, in his defence, said he left his case in the ,lisnds of .his professional advisers. He -was fully committed for trial upon several charges, and there will be a great many more preferred against him ' upon his trial. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. Edinburgh, 17th April, 1854. 25, Scotland-street. SIR,—In your paper of the 11th curt. there was a paragraph, headed " Has execution by hanging been survived ?" On reading the paragraph, it brought to my recollection of having heard and read years ago of a woman who was hanged here, as was believed, and who revived after being carried, from the gallows:--This took place in 1724. By the kindness of a friend who put into my hands the annals of Edinburgh and Leith from 1340 to 1839, I am now enabled to give you the particulars as I therein find them. " Execution and re suscitation of Margaret Dickson.— She belonged to' Musselburgh, and was executed for child-murder. After being suspended for the usual time, she was cut down, and her body given to her friends, who sent it in a cart, to be interred in her native place. While the party in, charge of the cart were taking some refreshment at Pepper Mill, two miles from Edinburgh, 'She forced the lid of her coffin and sat up, which so astonished the spectators, that most of them- ran off. She was then put to bed, and next day walked to Musselburgh, a dis tance of 5 miles from Pepper Mill. She lived till the year 1753, and was well known by the name of Half hang'd Maggie Dickson.'" Baron Iluine, in treating of sentence and execution l in his work on crimes (vol. 2, p. 476), refers to the, case, and so does Sir Archibald Alison, in his book on crimi nal law.—Your obedient servant, THOS. RENTON. REPRESENTATION OF HASTlNGS.—Political parties in Hastings are busy preparing for an election, consequent upon the intended acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds, immediately after the reassembling of Parliament, by one of the present members. The Liberals have put themselves in communication with Mr. Locke, who un successfully contested the borough at the last election ; while, on the Conservative side, Mr. Alexander J. Beres ford Hope, Mr. Crake, and Mr. W. D. Shadwell, have been spoken of. Rumour bas also pointed out Mr. F. North as a probable candidate on the moderate Conser vative interest. . ST. PANCRAS ALMSHOUSES.—The committee of the Building Fund of these almshouks hired the Princess's Theatre for Tuesday. when there was a large attendance of the patrons and friends of the institution. It is in tended to afford accommodation to 106 inmates, without regard to religion or country. The total cost of the building is estimated at 2,2501.; of this sum 1,0001. has been subscribed and paid for th ground • a similar sum to carry on the building has been advanced on the per sonal responsibility of one of the committee, so that there is aflefieiency of 5001. - REMOVAL OF THE CAST OF THE STATUE OF RICHARD Casua DE LEON FROM THE NEW PALACE YARD.—Yes. terday morning a number of workmen were engaged in pulling down the cast which was placed in New Palace yard of the colossal equestrian statue of Richard Cceur de Leon (which attracted considerable,potice at the Great Exhibition). Sir C. Barry was, we believe, opposed to the cast remaining there any longer, and to the putting up of the statue itself on the same, site, because it did not harmonise with the building. Daring the day, the horse and figure were removed, and before night the pedestal will be demolished and taken away. THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ripon, Captain Moresby, left this afternoon with the heavy portion of the India and China mails.

Amongst report stated ' that the thoFe present were Messrs. W. Thornely, M.P , W. ,WRa.tlßibaotnheb,orle., jun., T. Bo T u h l e ton, Mr. cross aenldd re sults of the registration showed a gain on the part of the Liberals over the Tories of 471 in the Parliamentary borough, and 144 in the municipal elections ; and there was reason to believe that if proper exertions were used, and a thorough organisation obtained, the Liberals might secure the election of at least one member of Parliament. Mr. Rathbone, jun., moved the adoption of the report. He argued that the Liberal interest possessed by far the majority of the thinking and reading portion of the inhabitants, since, while the aggregate circulation of the Tory appointment ld o d offi d c u e e rs de f l o i r be t r h ae. newspapers was only 380,000, that of the Liberals was Mr. C.

A full account has been 'given of the powerful fleets which have been designated for service in the Black Sea and the Baltic. We do not suppose it likely that they will prove inadequate for the hot work they will have to encounter ; but even if they do, and supposing both of those magnificent fleets should be destroyed, we have ample material in our home ports to supply their places. From our ships in reserve and building we could form a naval force far surpassing that which any other nation in the world can beast of having afloat. We give the following lists, re marking though some of the vessels may not without considerable repairs be in a state to send to sea, yet that most of them are excellent sea-going vessels—far supe rior indeed to anything Russian--and could be fitt.d out for service on very short notice : • , • - VESSELS IN RESERVE.

PAUL'S -CHURCHYARD.—A cor respondent of a contemporary says the Society of Archi tects have called a special meeting to consider the ques tion as to appeals to the authorities of the City to keep uncovered with houses the space of ground now bared and lying west of Old 'Change, and between New Can non-street and St. Paul's-churchyard. The surveyor and architect to the Cathedral chimes in with the general suggestion on the subject. The corporation is not dead (he adds) to the beautiful and picturesque. They are not steeped to the teeth in utilitarianism, as is general:y supposed. The following fact is full of hope, and indi cates the existence of a certain amount of good taste and right judgment much to be admired :—At the end of Newgate-street, opposite St. Martin's-le-Grand, stands a block of buildings, which, until lately, shut out the view of the Cathedral from that point. One of the houses either fell down or was pulled down to prevent its falling, and through the chink thus made the glory of the dome of St. Paul's was revealed in all its majesty. So striking was the effect produced that one branch of the corpora tion purchased the site of the house, with the view of ultimately throwing open the whole area between the Post-office and the Cathedral. To effect this will require an expenditure of probably 50,0001. to 80,0001. Yet the Improvement Committee, for the sake of some 30,0001. or 40,0001. is said to be contemplating the sale of the ground now in their possession on the south side, which, if accomplished, will be a lasting disgrace, as it will for ever close up that noble view of our metropoli tan church. Should the City concede this point, there are good reasons for believing that the Cathedral autho rities will set bank the railings at the end of Ludgate street, and give a wider space for the crushing traffic of that locality. Nor is it improbable that ere long the en tire railing will be set back, and the elevated ground of the churchyard brought down t o th e level of the ad joining streets, which, when paved over and opened to the public, will not only facilitate pedestrian traffic, but greatly improve the health of the neighbourhood. CORONERS INQUEST AT SYDNEY. --An inquest was h e ld on Monday, the 9th instant, at the Wellington Inn, South George-street, on view of the body of Cal ye ;ley Hossack, then lying dead at th e B enevo l en t Asy lum.

Mr. Roberts soon after arriving with a candle the deceased was discovered lying on his face on the floor, quite dead. 'William Walsh, coroner's constable, deposed that he called on Mrs. Jones, of Hunter -street, to make inquiries respecting deceased, in consequence of her name being mentioned in a letter which was found on searching deceased's clothes. She informed him that the deceased's name was Calverley Hossack, and that he had been connected with the firm of Hossack and Co., London, but that was all the par ticulars she could give of him. In accordance with the evidence of Dr. Silver, who made a post mart ens exami nation on the body of the deceased, the jury found that the deceased, Calverley Hossack, died from natural caused.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, APRIL 20.—At the magistrates' chamber, this day, Mr. Henry Wilson, of Gillette, presiding, William Smith, hawker, was charged, at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, With having wantonly tortured a dog. From the evidence of a local police constable, it appeared that the prisoner was seen on the previous afternoon on the Caversham• road, near Reading, cruelly beating a dog attached to a cart in which were three cwt. of old iron. The dog was in an exhausted state, scarcely able to move, and having at length sunk under the weight of its load, the pri soner kicked the poor .brute with great violence, a n d afterwards; attaching it by a ropo to the back of his cart, dragged it along by main force. Wh en appro. hended he - offered to drown the dog if the officer would allow him to escape. The prisoner had nothing to say i n reply to the charge, but began blubberin g , and implored f org i v eness. The magistrate considered that anaocnte. o r f great brutality had been pr ov e d against the prisoner. The dog-cart nuisance had become an intolerable. pest throughout the country districts, and he was convinced that the dreadfal malady of hydrophobia Was frequently erienced from p caused s b o y f the the horrible r , t s r e e a l a t s m s . e n t N d o o t g osnelxyp on account of the abominable cruelty he had practised on the belplcEs animal in the present case, but for the safety of the public generally, he felt it his duty to tui.ke an ()ample of the prisoner, upon whose future - conduct he hoped the punishment he was about to ,iuflict wou ld have a whole. some effect.
