DEPARTAIIINT OF MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIIiam Farr, Esq., General Register Office. AcTusnY—F. 0. P. Nelson, Esq. This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Cimilar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on Unfound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. • bitmbers of consemptive (=Lies assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most ether offices. 'The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1941 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of Persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been Successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of Persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in_ formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, IS of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that en healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in tarnmon with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, I t Is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons l abouring under disease ; and to this latter feature particular atten. bon is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its ° Wn nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more Permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an "Planation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer "elusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two ?ears preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from n sumptien alone, 10,688 ; showing that mere than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted w ith respect to other disease', such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half alin on th is e si whole population would, on medical examination, be refused into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the he principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—in Bir. ruiligham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, Per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1 ,988, forming considerably more than one.third of the whole. The lame thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 it will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, treierhannsumi)tion 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. ce so k ;° di seases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a a nte for m, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a s trict exam i nation , would effectually exclude the Persons medical it thus 50 affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since Us a ppears that a majority of the population is included in this cla ss the value and importance of the new feature of this society - fail to be justly appreciated. ' ll e second poliit to be explained is the fact that there is -"itch less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of Paramount and vital importance to the Interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. .„ The real r i s k i ncurre d i n a ll assuranc e t ransac ti ons cons i sts i n t_fle ch ance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation live s Mort a li ty, and will be found to be much less among diseased uves than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are Sufficienily near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the Ma tter to figure s it i s found that while the fluctuation pe r annum 11 1 the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only Per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortalit) in consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester, iv erpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of gleaner numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., thciw ing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mor tality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute In its results th an that which regulates the general population. Cons umption, i has here been selected, not because it was consi rred more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question Under consideration ; but the same test has been app.ied to a great nu mber of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine dis eases d in th e me tropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheum a ti s m, Pease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the au ctuation was only 71 per em.t., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven i n another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in - "gland, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sh -effield, &c the fluctuation over eleven of the more important d iseases was 6'4 per cent, The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. du ce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality 'n disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole : an ge of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor 41itY of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population es frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the eer y of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with " n sv much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be ‘ ▪ e Pended on. 4 , I t is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of "uctuatio n to disease, it has not been confined to one place or cl ass of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in "gland and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng ,end, and included the experience e one or two large societies of 'elect lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the r e cts of locality and its sanatory condition en the duraticn of 2,. and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., ;flat the value of life generally is much greater in the coun.. 11 districts than in large cities; but that of those persons ~, I ' o suffer from disease the value of life Is nearly the same. As • "ample of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country istricts is 36.7 years ; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cent. nearly ; but take the case of persons of that 1 4! in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will 'unately die of consumption, and their expect ate m of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in c ities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir shVgbant, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1 . 57 per cent.) It t h er efore appears that while the difference between country and - tvn life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter istance (consumption) the difference is ahnost nothing, and the 'esults nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some ;thee diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This acr . although not generally understood, is only what might have rep expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly l i r '' v ed at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease en ufined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in °need by external circumstances. 'thence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased noe s much less than among select lives and the population gene s. Y. and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be see 4 re apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance effice, it mkY be stated, th a t s u pposing the number of lives in a society, l•„,, fi g only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would 'i' l eate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have I°5 Y 5 sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ; 2' the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not r F i r ovide f or more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the „: 41( _ or ensuring di sease d li ves i s t o th a t o f average li ves as 9 t o 45, i - h r ." l 3 , one. fifth.

(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and a Common Jury.) BREAM OF PROMISE OF 3IARRIAGE.—SPAULL V. FOSTER. This was an action brought by Mary Anne Spaull to recover damages from Stephen Foster, for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did not promise in the form alleged in the declaration. Mr. Platt, with Mr. Russell Gurney, were for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Gray appeared for the defendant. Mr. PLATT stated the case, and said the plaintiff sought compensation or damages from the defendant, for hav 'ng in a most cruel manner outraged her feelings, by wing made a solemn promise to marry her. Th, earned Counsel proceeded to observe, that the plaintiff v s syounglady of education and great respectability. d at the time she first became acquainted with the de fendant restaeu with her aunt, who kept a boarding school at Witham in this county, and she was engager! in that establishment by her aunt to teach the pupil- French, music, and other accomplishments, in which she was a proficient. In the course of the year 1841 the plaintiff and the defendant met toge ther at the place of worship they attended, and he shortly afterwards expressed an affection for her. and eventually called upon her aunt, and requested that he might be allowed to visit the plaintiff as a suitor ; and as he and his connections were known to be respect able, no difficulty was felt upon the subject, and he con tinued to visit her as an acknowledged suitor until Oc tuber in the following year, when ho addressed to her the following letter. " Oct. 1, 1842. " Dear Miss—ln explanation of yours to-day, I must say that I have made up my mind to discontinue my visits; as I find it, all things considered, impracticable for me to be united, therefore I felt reluctant to inform you of my alteration of mind.—l remain your sincere well wisher. " P.S.—I have no unkind feelings, I can assure you, towards yourself." It appeared that after this, in consequnee of com munications that took place with the defendant, he resumed the intercourse with the plaintiff, and their in timacy continued as before. He always expressed the greatest affection for the plaintiff, and repeatedly expressed his intention to marry her. She was introduced to hie family, and treated by them as his affianced wife, and repeatedly went to his father's house. The defendant about this time occupied a farm at Tiptree, and it was expected that the marriage would speedily take place, and indeed things went on so far that the wedding dresses were actually purchased. The defendant, how ever, it would seem, again changed his mind, and in January, 1844, he wrote a letter to the plaintiff, which led to the present action. Only very shortly before it appeared that all his epistles breathed nothing but love and affection towards the plaintiff, and then, without assigning any reason for such a proceeding, again took upon himself to break off the connexion, and the plaintiff was now compelled to resort to the present pro ceeding to obtain the only reparation allowed her by law. The Learned Counsel then read the various letters that were afterwards produced in evidence, and said that the latter ones were of a most insulting and ridiculous character, the defendant writing, as he chose to ex press it, "by heads," as saving time, and being by far the quickest mode of correspondence. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that the plaintiff challenged every inquiry, and defied the defendant to give any valid reason for his conduct, and, indeed, he had not ventured to give any, but had merely pleaded that he did not make the promise. That he did so, however, would be satisfactorily proved, and the other facts would, likewise, be made out, the letters of the defendant himself clearly showing the nature of his connection with the plaintiff; and as to the refusal to keep his engagement, he apprehended there could he very little doubt upon that point when the cor respondence was laid before the jury. If he made out the case, as he had no doubt he should be able to do, the next question was, what amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to for the cruel treatment she had received. She had been led to expect to be united with the man she loved, and to have obtained a settlement for life ; but, without any ground, all her hopes had been de stroyed, her affections trifled with, and she had been deserted by the man on whom she had placed all her reliance ; and, if ever there was a case calling for exemplary damages, he submitted to the jury it was such a one as the present. Mrs. Sarah Spaull, the plaintiff's aunt, was then exa mined—She proved that she resided at Witham with her niece in 1841, and she spoke to the defendant, having called upon her, and asked permission to visit her niece as a suitor, and, on her consenting, he continued to do so, with the knowledge of his friends, and the plaintiff and the defendant appeared to be sincerely attached to each other. They corresponded with each other, and the plaintiff visited the defendant's father and his family, and was received by them as the intended wife of the defen dant. The witness detailed the course of the intimacy between the parties down to the month of January, 1843, and identified the letters produced as the hand writing of the defendant. She also said that after the period she had mentioned, the defendant called upon her, and wished the• plaintiff to accept of a sum of 2001 that his'father had offered to her, in order that she might go into the country and recruit her health. The following letters were then read. The first was written soon atter the defendant had renewed his inti macy with Miss Spaull. It was dated December 9, 1842, and its contents were as follow : "My dear Mary Anne,—l had intended to have come down to Witham, and had the pleasure of seeing you, but as I hav e had something of the cold chills for a day or two, I think it will not he wise. To remedy this, we hope to have the pleasure of seeing you at Tothem (his father's residence) to tea. The governor says that you must stay the night and also to-morrow night as well, if possible. Would it be troubling you too much to bring some of your music and a certain letter that you have in your possession? Please inform the bearer what time your ladyship will be at the White Hart. I have now great pleasure in being your ardent and de voted lover, " STEPHEN." Another letter, dated November 30, 1843, was to the following effect : " My dearest Love,— I received your pretty little note this morning, for which I feel extremely obliged. I was out, certainly, yesterday, just down to the bank and back again immediately, while the sun was at full, and, on horseback; did not perceive myself any worse. I should have called, but did not stop anywhere. With fondest affection, your devoted lover, " STEPHEN." My very dear Mary Anne,—Having a spare mo ment on my hands this morning, I thought I could not employ it with more pleasure to myself than con versing with you by my pen. "Really, without your pre sencereverything appears dull and dreary to me. I long .0 see you, but. I feel it would not be prudent at present to venture out In an evening, neither would you wish me, I know. I have lately thought more highly of you than ever, longing for the time when we shall spend many happy days together. Every day endears you to my affections, as I have your person in my mind, with your tender looks and pleasant smiles ; in fact, every object appears lovely where your presence is. I must 3onfess I never felt what I do now before. This last visit appears to have quite won my heart over with more than ardent affection. Terms are all too insignificant to describe to you my feelings—words would fail ; but I hope, when I see you, to give you some faint idea of what my feelings are. I wish you were at Tothem. My dearest girl, you would fancy lam draw ng up an exaggerated statement, but I can assure you candidly it is not. I know that when I express my sea '•iments on this point fully you sometimes deem it flat tery, but I can vouch for these being my calm, collected, and candid ideas. Would it not be my pleasure to constantly please were it in my power, when you are connected by that endearing tie which I hope will not soon be dissolved, but as years advance be firmer and stronger, if possible. Nov, then, my dearest love, you will say I have trespassed too long on your time. I must conclude, hoping to receive an epistle from you, promising me in it you will have no one else. I feel anxious now about your going to London. Don't fall. in love with any one else, dear.— Your more than ever attached and devoted lover, " STEPHEN. " 1,000 kisses, dear." The next letter was dated Jan. 2, 1844. It was as follows: "Dearest Love,--Ist. I must apologise for not writing before; 2d. I thank you for your letter; 3d. I have no time; 4th. I hope you are still well; sth. lam glad you are enjoying yourself; 6th. I cannot come to town, I am so busy.—Yours, very truly, " STEPHEN." The next letter had no date, but the post-mark was Tan. 3, 1844 :—" Mary • Anne,—First, you complain of my plan of writing, which has greatly annoyed me ; second, it is strange for me to be dictated to, by one so much my junior ; third, I hope if you see any one at the wedding that suits, you won't let the opportunity slip, but embrace it ; fourth, I need not define, but you will take the full meaning of this last particular ; five, I would advise you to sleep with your mother—you are happy you say ; six, I know you will be more happy than at Witham, as it must be many years before you can alter your situation. " Yours, very respectfully, "AMICUS. " This is not a hasty conclusion." The witness was then cross-examined by Sergeant SnEE—Witness kept a boarding -school at Witham, and the plaintiff taught English, French, and music to the pupils. Believed the intimacy first took place between the plaintiff and defendant at a rehearsal of music at the chapel at Witham. The plaintiff used to play the seraphine at the chapel, as there was no organ. Arrangern(lits had been made for the wedding at the time the defendant broke off the intimacy with Miss Spaull. She did not recollect having heard the defendant say that his circumstances were such as to render it improper for him to marry. She was sure that the sum of 2001. was mentioned by the defendant, and he did not say that his father was to give It. He said that he had no fault to find with her, but he could not marry. her. He did not add the word " then." After this the defendant frequently sent to inquire after the ,plaintiff. Miss Eliza Atkinson, a boarder at Mrs. Spaull's, spoke to the visits of the defendant to the plaintiff, as her suitor. She remembered when the match was bro ken off, in December or January last, and after the plaintiff had received the defendant's letter, she returned holm very ill, and and appeared to suffer so much that witness was frightened to see her, She continued very ill for so ne time, and appeared to suffer great distress of mind. By Air. Sergeant SIIEE—The plaintiff said she had seen the defendant, and they had had some disagree ment about a letter he sent to her. Thinks she also told her that he had denied engaging to marry her so soon, and told her that she was always in a hurry. Mr. Alfred May, a surveyor, was then callel to prove that he had valued the stock upon the defendant's farm at 1,1731. Cross-examined—The land held by defendant at Tip tree might not be the very worst in the county, but it was very bad land. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant SHEE then addressed the jury for the defendant ; and he commenced by observing that he was ,urprised, although his Learned Friend had asked for heavy damages, that he had not laid better evidence be fore them as to the circumstances of the defendant, which it was in their power to have done, and also to !save shown what real damage the plaintiff had sustained. fie hoped to be able to satisfy them that the defendant's 'conduct had been upright and honourable, and that the alaintiff had no good cause of complaint. There were no cases that differed more in their circumstances than Actions of this description. It frequently happened that a woman, after having lost that treasure which could done make life valuable, was compelled to go into the witness-box, and while declaring her shame, at the same time show that she had been made a victim, and had been betrayed by a man in whose honour she had con fided. For such a case the seducer was very properly nade to feel his misconduct by heavy damages being awarded against him. In other cases7a man, after having raised an affection in the breast of a woman, would cast her off, and before her face marry another whom he believed to he more wealthy, or fancied was more beautiful. When such cruelty and avarice was exhi bited it was also right that heavy damages should be awarded ; but the present case exhibited no such cir cumstances of aggravation. There was not the slightest stain upon the caracter of the plaintiff, and he was in al strueta. by the defendant .to 4ity- that he could not breathe the slightest suspiciorr against• the character of the plaintiff, but that he believed her to be a most honourable and virtuous young woman, and one who, under more favourable "Circumstances, he should have been proud to make his wife. There was nothing in the case to throw any slur on the character and conduct of the plaintiff, and she remained pure and unsullied. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that there was no distinct proof that the defendant intended to break the promise he had made, and said the reason why he declined at present to marry the plaintiff was dictated more by his affection for her, than by any fickle ness of disposition. He then went on to say that the defendant was a young man who was entitled to a small smount under the will of a relation, but in other re spects he was entirely dependent upon his family. He had invested this money in a farm, the quality of which the jury were probably acquainted with, from its locality at Tiptree • and on that farm he had los!, all his money, and finding he had no means of surporting this young lady in the manner in which, from her education and situation, she had a right to ex pect, he humbly declined to marry her until his cireum stances were in a more favourable condition. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to remark at consider able length upon the misery consequent on marriages where the parties had not the means of properly pro viding for themselves and the family consequent upon them, and said he considered the defendant had acted the part of a prudent and honourable young man in de clining to marry the woman he loved when he felt satis fied that he could not provide a proper home for her, and that poverty and misery must be the result of their union. At the time the promise was made to the plain tiff the defendant was in the possession of his farm, and he was buoyed up with the hope that he might realise a position- of proTerity, and he then naturally looked forward to an union with the woman he loved ; but those hopes were all destroyed, and he then sacrificed his own inclinations and passion rather than run the risk of reducing the woman he loved to almost inevitable poverty. He denied that there was any proof that the defendant had absolutely refused to fulfil his promise, he only desired its post ponetuent until his circumstances were improved. There was not the least proof of any act of unkindness on the part of the defendant, but, on the contrary, he had al ways acted with the greatest kindness, and it was proved, that almost up to the present moment, the de fendant had always spoken in the most affectionate terms of the plaintiff, and had shown an anxiety for her welfare. He then proceeded to urge, that so far from this being a case calling for heavy damages, he felt satis fied that the jury, upon a dispassionate consideration of all the facts, would feel that the defendant was entitled to their verdict. Mr. Baron GURNEY then summed up, and the jury retired. They were absent about a quarter of an hour. when they returned into Court, finding a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages—Four Hundred Pounds. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Saxby, a little urchin, nine years old, was in dicted for feloniously setting fire to a barn, the property of John Kempson, at Ramsey. Mr. Wordsworth conducted the prosecution, and Mr. T. Chambers appeared for the prisoner. ' From the evidence adduced it appeared that the fire took place on the 6th of June, and it was clearly proved that the prisoner had caused the mischief. When he was apprehended by the inspector of police, he admitted that he had put a lighted lucifer match into the rick, and set it on fire. It appeared that property to the amount of nearly 4,0001. was destroyed. Mr. CHAMBERS, for the prisoner, urged that the act was one of a childish mind, unaware of the consequences. and that the prisoner ought not to be convicted of felony. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him strongly to mercy. The Learned JUDGE said the recommendation should be attended to, and he respited the judgment. Henry Herbert, 52, was indicted for a felonious assault upon hia own daughter, a child 14 years old. Mr. Marsh conducted the prosecution. The details of the case are quite unfit for publication, but they exhibited the most disgusting profligacy on the part of the prisoner, the evidence leaving very little doubt that his brutal proceedings had originally com menced while his (laughter was under ten years of age. The jury found the prisoner guilty of the misdemea nour only, and he was sentenced to be kept to hard • labour for two years. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Northampton, July 17. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN.) Peer :11'Donald, aged 34, was indicted for a rape on the 4th of June last, at Potterspury, in this county, upon Sylvia Ann Hatley. Mr. Wing conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Miller de fended the prisoner. _ _ From the evidence of the prosecutrix it appeared that be. tween eleven and twelve o'clock on the day in question she was walking from Shenley to Towcester, when the prisoner, who was a stranger to her, overtook her between Stony Stratford and Potterspury, and offered to carry her box, and asked her to go into a public-house to have some beer. She ' refused. lle went in, but overtook her before she got out of the town, and again offered to carry her box. She bade him to walk on, as she didn't wish his company on the road. He walked on for about a mile, and then stopped and asked her to shake hands with:him. She refused. He laid hold of her and said, " Come, sit down." She said, " No." He then said, " I'll make you," and threw her down and committed the offence charged. She struggled with him, and screamed out as loud as she could, and told him she would have him taken care of. It was by the side of the road, in a lonely place, that he threw her down, with her feet towards the hedge. She 'felt his hand in her bosom, and tried to force it away, but coiild not. As soon as she got off the ground she felt in her bosom fot her money, and found it gone. It consisted of one sovereign and four shillings in silver, wrapped up in a piece of paper. Two men came up to her, and she said, "That rascal has insulted me and robbed me, and if you will take . liim,:l will:satisfy you." He was by this time running away as fast as he could ; but she now swore to him posi tively, and to his having completed his purpose. William Foster was hoeing beans in a field by the side of the turnpike-road at some short distance, and heard a woman say "Go along." I shortly afterwards heard her scream out " Oh, dear, oh !" I went up to the spot and found the pro secutrix on the ground with her clothes disordered, and the prisoner going away from her. He walked two or three yards and then ran off, lookingbehind him several times. John Wilcox deposed to his having seen the prosecutrik lying on the ground crying, and appearing very faint, and her clothes all over dust. She told him, "That villain there has robbed me of 245., and insulted me." A man was running up the road, dressed like the prisoner, and looking back se • veral times. William Sanders deposed to having seen the young woman and the prisoner coming along the road, about three yards apart, the prisoner being first. It was then about a quarter to twelve. Thomas Henson proved that at about half-past twelve the prisoner inquired of him the way to Northampton. He was walking fast, and appeared very hot. James Howard was at borne about mid-day, having his dinner, and-saw John Wilcox, the witness, and another man run by. He made an inquiry of them, and being told by them what had happened, he took his telescope, and dis tinctly saw a man running along the road, and sometimes looking back. He took a horse immediately and pursued. Ile went down to Towcester and gave information to the po lice. On afterwards finding that the man had not passed the turnpike-gate, he went back a little way, and went down a lane, and soon heard of him; and when he had gone a mile and a half further on saw the prisoner walking fast, and looking very warm, and wiping his face with his hankerchief. He entered into conversation with him, and rode by his side nearly half a mile, and then made an excuse and got off his horse and collared hirii. Hetthen, 'with assistance, brought him down to Towcester, and gave him into the custody of the police. The prisoner said that he knew nothing about ; the girl,- and that. he had come from Wolverton that morn ing, and had collected 6d. there. John Nicholson, constable of Towcester, about half-past twelve received information from Mr. Howard, and went up to the prosecutrix, who gave him a description of the man. She was crying, and her clothes were covered with dust. The prisoner was given into his custody by Mr. Howard, and witness searched him and found in a pocket, inside his waist coat, one sovereign in gold, two half-crowns, and one six penny piece in silver, and eighteenpence in copper. The young woman had complained to him of having been robbed of 1/. 45., and violently assaulted by the young man in such a way as she had never been assaulted before. The description she gave him of the young man corresponded with the ap pearance of the prisoner. Mr. William Elston, surgeon, of Potterspury, examined the prosecutrix, but did not find any marks of external violence, but saw other appearances which led him to believe that the act had been done and by violence. Mr. John Huntl e y, o f V Shenley Brook-end, deposed that the prosecutrix was his servant, and had lived with him about eight months. She had had leave to go and see her friends near Banbury, and he gave her some money over-night. He believed she had 1/. 4s. He gave her a sovereign the day before. She always conducted herself in a proper manner, and was a good servant._ • The prisoner's examination stated that lie had 1?. 95., when he left London. He came to Dunstable on the Sun day before. Oa Monday he came to Wolverton, and slept there all night, and left on Tuesday morning about ten o'clock, and overtook the prosecutrix. He asked . her if she had walked far. She said she had come four miles the other side of Stony Stratford. He said " You are walking very slow ; I'll have to go and leave you." She said " Very well," and sat down by the side of the road. He went on. He asked the witness, Henson, the nearest way to Northamp ton, and went as he was directed, until the man came and took him on a charge of robbing a young woman. He was brought to Towce3ter, and searched. He got the money from Samuel Taylor, engineer, 45, Albion-street, Rotherhithe. He knew nothing at all about the robbing of her, or the violation of her body. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr. MILLER addressed the jury for the prisoner, and The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and he was there upon sentenced to transportation for the term of his na tural life. There was another indictment against the prisoner for the highway robber•, which, of course, was not proceeded with. William Crisp was then indicted for an assault on the sth of July last, at Great Creaton, upon the person of Betsy Harbour. Mr. Maunsell was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr Miller for the prisoner. It was clear from the facts that the charge of assault with intent could not be sustained ; and it was admitted that the prisoner had been guilty of a common assault. He was sentenced to imprisonment for four months. Thomas Townsend was convicted of a crime of a disgusting nature.—Sentence of death was recorded. It was intimated that his life would be spared, but he would be sent to a penal colony for the remainder of his life. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL RACES. TUESDAY NIGHT.

PERUVIAN SHEEP. The following communication from Alexander Garth shore Stirling, Esq., of Craigbarnet, Lenuoxtown, in Glasgow, on the naturalization of the Alpaca into Scot !and, appears in Blachwoods Journal of Agriculture:— " Having gone to Liverpool, I endeavoured to get one of the captains of the ships who trade to South America to bring a couple of these Peruvian sheep. Accordingly, a venture was undertaken, and I promised to give 401. or guineas for a male and female. The cap tain succeeded in bringing three home, but they tunnel out to be all females. Of course they did not suit. However, a friend procured a pair for me, from the Earl of Derby's stock (price 401), which I accepted of. They were forwarded by one of the Liverpool steamers to the Broomielaw at Glasgow, and arrived at Craigbarnet quite safe from thence. They were conveyed out hither in a covered cart—distance twelve miles. They were immediately put into the sheep-park amongst the other sheep, which at first were astonished, and stared to see such queer quadrupeds ; but, after a few days, finding no molestation from the new-eemers, tht-y all be came friends, and fed quite comfortably together ; but the amusing part of it was my shooting pony —commander-in-chief of the park—who became per reedy wild and electrified, when he first saw them, gal loping, snorting, kicking up his heels. The Ricer's, however, never fled from him, but advanced. At length he became frightened at them, probably supposing the blackamoors to be "no cannie." However, in the course of eight or ten daye, nothing but harmony prevailed amongst all parties. The alpac as arrived the latter end of August. When the weather became cold, and the nights were getting long, a wooden shed was erected for them in the park. At - first they hardly ever went i n t o it ; but when winter commenced, I made the keeper (whom they follow like a dog) put up a small rick in their shed in which was placed some rye-grass hay. The weather was fine, and they ate very little of it ; but by-and-bye, as winter advanced, tliey relished it better. 1 then • irdered them to get a few yellow turnips, which at first they seemed to like, but, tiring of them, I desired a little corn to be given, which they partook of pretty freely ; but one day the keeper told me they would not eat their corn, especially when the day was good. having some xcellent beans, I ordered the man to try them with a No sooner did the alpacas hear the beans rattling in the dish than they showed an eager desire to have them, and, during several months, preferred them to very other sort of grain ; indeed, so much so, that upon ,ome oats being intermixed with the beans, the latter were picked out and the former neglected. What is -extremely satisfaetory is the hardiness of these animals compared to our sheep, and their indefa fatigable perseverance in searching for food, when sheep would to a certainty starve. I may state that this win ter, 1843-4, has proved a most Severe one. The park in which the alpacas and sheep were confined, was covered for nearly, three weeks with snow ; and during that time there was not a vestige of herbage to be seen, with the exception of some little green tufts under the trees. The sheep required to be regularly fed with turnips and hay. Not so the alpacas ; they were seen in the most stormy days under the trees for hours, constantly eating the grass, and never minding either the cold or snow. They have never had a day's illness, have never at tempted to leap a fence, and are far easier to keep within an enclosure than the common sheep." LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

How THE TORIES CROW OVER MR: STURGE.— (From the Liverpool courier.)—Prostrate as the Liberals previously were, and familiarised with defeat anti morti fication, the result of the 13irmingham election has, nevertheless, come upon them with astounding effect. It could not have been otherwise. Never, in the whole course of their electioneering - experience,' have they rg•• ceived a more terrible blow. A few years ago it would have been thought as unreasonable to talk of positing St. Paul's from its base as talk of shaking the power of the Liberals in Birmingham. Like Manchester, the name of the place itself was regarded as little else than a synonym for rampant and inettrable Radical ism. For thirteen years, that is, ever wince the Re form Act came into operation,' the same party and the same family has reigned predominant in the borough. At the very last election, the gentleman whose tri umphant return we have now to record was defeated I y a majority of 13§. Ills opponent en the present eccasiou was the s.m of the individual against whom he thus unsuccessfully struggled, and consequently brought to the contest all the advantages arising iron; name and connexion; yet Mr. Spooner is returned te Parliament by a inljority of no less than 360 votes Well may Lilwrtis stand aghast ! • And equally we't may Conservatives rtjtkiee, and look forward with Mgt . ; !lope to future triumphs.
