P.k u n 1 841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of 1 7 4 who suff er f rom disease. The scienc e of statistics has only within a recent pe riod been het fully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and ta, b - l y tables on the probability of these results could not have been ant society and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous ).b.2Y society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of to te 7 afflicted with any particular malady.

If the inquiry be carried to towns in England, like facts are elicited—in he r 8 h g a nii Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, 1,1 8 a : n Yrn, are about 5,023. while those from consumption are lar kle ‘ l Ynriing considerably more than one-third of the whole. The . thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot -111 six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, h.7 0,,, % 1 1 . t5,,.... 1 to 23,078,. those from con . sumption alone to 6,359, and than 42 important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more ) I ' 4 42 r cent of the deaths (torn all causes. On reference to t tetuL e s from ' the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be BOnd that the deaths in that period, from all causes, we r e 14,107, 10 P eonsum lion 4 , 987, and a list of five diseases, 6 , 423, be in g e than 4 5 per cent of the deaths from all causes. --e diseases ' chr onic r here alluded to are such as exist in general i n a en a s t ri c r° frequently for many years prior to death, but which, persons se medi cal examination, would effectually exclude the it thus a affec ted from the benefits of life assurance ; and since eiass, th PPears th at a majority of the populat i on i s i nc l u d e d i n this cann o t f e i , valu e and importance of the new feature of this society The a to be Justly appreciated. rune b ;: aan d Point to be explained is the fact that there is Parable -a % risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of auervetatnt and vital importance to the interests of this society, and to be carefully considered. th e real risk incurred in all assurince transactions consists in 4elsZnee to which an o ffi ce is liable of experiencing a different b kw _ ?f Mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its , r z i t . ion. are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation ► th ta litY, and will be found to be much less among diseased The d eaths Over the general population, and among selected lives. km ei from consumption in the metropolis pe r . annum are 4.o:re:ltye:ear the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, ra atte a d causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the la th e r i t ° figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum case is as high as 45 per cent., In the former it is only %t ub c ent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in " M Ption was only one-fifth of the o th e r ; and in Manchester, ata ' a e uT °6l . and Birmingharri, even with the disadvantage of sh ev ; r numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., rs art a t a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the in t a u lit Y of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute Co n "silts than that which regulates the general population. tle retl 'lPtion has here been selected, not because it was consi- IN. M ore favourable its results, but simply on account of the t kh ` r n umbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the questio n eek-h ~ a t* neideration ; but the same test has been applied to a great tlis eas - 7 of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine tili e ,.7 B in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, 4,2 1 e of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the Ihrtillation was only 71 per cent., and in five diseases in a different in ~e t the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven dieather locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation tnallot exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in Sid f; ad i including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, ( lise &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important as e . dotTh_• was 6 4 per cent. he r emarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. . to 4 . 4 conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality tab e l e sea te ; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole taltt O f the doctrine orpraliebllities so well defined as the mor -ol* diseased lives. The mortality of the general population tale t re q u ently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer ha ~.feenimon events, but the preceding remarks must show with aelki"uch greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be dad on • . -•itet i. - Perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of eiaB n ation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or I lives but has been extended to the principal towns in land.4al and Scotland, as well as t•• many rural districts in Eng ssie • „ a n d included the experience e one or two large societies of sit e . ; lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the l ife, Of locality and its sanatory condition en the duration of t hat , a , n cl a remarkable fact has thus been developed, v iz . , ( try re value of life generally is much greater in the coun . *llo. lstr iets than in large cities; but that ~of these persons Ito ex'Uffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As din i 4 reple of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country reo e et 'l is 36.7 years ; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27 . 6 years—diffe -4:: 33 Per cont. nearly; but take the case of persons of that niti r l e a whom the consumptive tendeney is developed, and who will etiu et ! tel 7 die of consumption, and their expectatim of life in the 14 tit: es " ';' l. Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, willbe found to be 14.5, din ( Glasgow) 14•4. and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir ihst;arai 13.9 • difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It Ins lif e aPpem; that while the difference between country and 4 ista h - n a in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter 41 1 ,1 4 (consumption) the difference is almost nothing , and the her ti d , 'mar ly uniform. The same thing holds good with som . e L ' a et, a ift ea ses, which have been investigated in this manner. This et`st e ." a ugh not generally understood, is only what might have 4 . r tiv,,, -Pett ed by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly eet i - u n at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in . disease lee h ad within a very narrow limit' and consequently little in "d 3' external circumstances. • 115, 8 7 nee appears that the — ffirctuatlon In the mortality of diseased Much less than among select lives and the population Icy y ' and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lived must also be tts a i ; ° ly this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance office, it tak ie %)* stated, th a t sup p os ing the number of lives in a society, illdi e !. °ol 3 , select lives, was such that the table of mortality would slway7 10 0 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have ° n th is funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ; Pre via et her hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not ri s k et . l for more than 109 deaths per annum ; that is to say, the 1 r 001 au uring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, this J o ?ne fifth.

The earned Counsel proceeded to observe, that the plaintiff Was :young lady of education and great respectability, nd at the time she first became acquainted with the de fendant resiaea with_ her aunt, who kept a boarding school at Witham in this county, and she was engaged in that establishment by her aunt to teach the pupils French, music, and other accomplishments, in which she was a proficient. In the course of the year 1841 the plaintiff and the defQndant 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 tober in the following year, when he 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. 5.-1 have no unkind feelings, I can assure you, towards yourself." It appeared that after this, in consequnce 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 hii 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 psesent 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 be 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 othpr_ They enrrocporadoa -with oaoh other, and th 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 200/. 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 alter 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 have had something of the cold chills for a day or two, I think it will not be . 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 :- 6. My deafest Love,— 1 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 sence, everything appears dull and dreary to me. I long 'o see you, laii I feel it would not be prudent at present to venture out in an evening, neither would you wish m e, I know. I have lately thought more highly of you than ever, longing for the time when .we shall spend .nany 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 3 onfess I never felt wh a t 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 sen 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. Now, 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 sttached and devoted lover, " STEPHEN. " 1,000 kisses, dear." The next letter was dated Jan. 2, 1844. It was as follows: " Dearest Love,—lst. 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. I am 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, " This is not a hasty conclusion." The witness was then cross-examined by Sergean SHEE—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. Arrangements 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 impreper for him to marry. She was sure that the sum of 200/. was mentioned by the defendant, and Ihe 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. "AMICUS. Miss Eliza Atkinson, a boarder at Mrs. Spanll'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 home 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 Mr. Sergeant SHEE—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 tliat 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 thou called to prove that he had valued the stock upon the defendant's farm at 1,1751. Cross-examined--The land held by defendant at Tip tree might not be the very worst in the county, but it was yen bad land. This was the plairrtiff's case. Mr. Sergeant SHEE then addressed the jury for the defendant ; and he commenced by observing that he was surprised, although his Learned Friend had asked for heavy damages, that he had riot 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 have shown what real damage the plaintiff had sustained. lie hoped to be able to satisfy them that the defendant's conduct had been upright and honourable, and that the plaintiff 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 alone 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 made to feel his misconduct by heavy damages being awarded against him. In other casesa 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 be 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 n 9 such cir cumstances of aggravation. There was not the slightest stain upon the character of the plaintiff, and he was in structed by the defendant to say . that he could not breathe the slightest suspicion 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 thel defendant was a young man who was entitled to a small;' amount under the will of a relation, but in other re-1 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 farmi he had lost all his money, and finding he had no means of surporting this young lady in the manner in which,l from her education and situation, she had a right to ex pect, he humbly declined to marry her until his cireum-: stnnces were in a more favourable condition. The! Learned Counsel then proceeded to remark at consider able length upon the misery consequent on marriage where the parties had not the means of properly pto viding for themselves and the family consequent upon them, and said he considered the defendant had acte the, part of a prudent and honourable young man in de dining to marry the woman he loved when he felt satis fled that he could not provide a proper home for her and that poverty and misery must be the result of thei union. At the time the promise was made to the plain tiff the defendant was in the possession of his farm, an he was buoyed up with the hope that he might realisei a position of prosperity, and he then naturally looked forward to an union with the woman he loved - but those hopes were all destroyed, and he the sacrificed his -own inclinations and passion rathe than run the risk of reducing the woman h loved to almost inevitable poverty. He denied tha there was any proof that the defendant had absolutel refused to fulfil his promise, he only desired its post ponement until his circumstances were improved. Ther was not the least proof of any act of unkindness on th part of the defendant, but, on the contrary, he had al ways acted with the greatest kindness, and it wa proved, that almost up to the present moment, the de, fendant had always spoken in the most affectionat4 tra-ma nF tha plOntiff. and had shown an anxiety for het welfare. He then proceeded to urge, that so rar prom this being a case calling for heavy damages, he felt satis • fled 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 tla plaintiff. Damages—Four Hundred Pounds. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Saxby, a little urchin, nine years old, was inh dieted for feloniously setting fire to a barn, the propert T of John Kempson, at Ramsey. Mr. Wordsworth conducted the prosecution, and 3/I. 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 rich, and sit it on fire. It appeared that property to the amount of nearly 4,0001. was destroyed. Mr. CHAMBERS, for the prisoner, urged that the aqt was one of a childish mind, unaware of the consequence, and that the prisoner ought not to be convicted clf felony. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the ju found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him strongl to mercy. The Learned JUDGE said the recommendation shou , be attended to, and he respited the judgment. Henry Herbert, 52, was indicted for a felonious assau't upon his 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 daughter 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. 5 to 7 to 7 to 8 to MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Northampton, July 17. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN. ) Peter 111Wonald, 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. He 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 could not. As soon as she got off the ground she felt in her bosom for 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 him, I 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, looking behind him several times. John Wilcox deposed to his having seen the prosecutrix 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 home 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 Paw a man running along the road, and sometimes looking back. -He took a horse immediately and pursued. He went doivn 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 him. He then, 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/.745., 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 Huntley, of 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 11. 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 he had 11.95., when he left London. He came to Dunstable on the Sun , day before. On 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 Towcester, and searched. Fie 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 robbery, 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 Craigbaitiet, Lennoxtown, in Glasgow, on the naturalization of the Alpaca into Scot land, appears in Blackwood's 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 40/. or guineas for a male and female. The cap tain succeeded in bringing three home, but they turned out to be all females. Of course they did not suit. However, a friend procured a pair Tor 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, they 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 fecely wild and electrified, when he first saw them, gal loping, snorting, kicking up his heels. The alcapas, however, never fled from him, but advanced. A t length he became frightened at them, probably supposing the blackatnoors to be "no cannie." However, in the course 'of eight or ten days, nothing but harmony prevailed amongst all parties. The alpacas arrived the latter end of August. When the weather became cold, and the nights were getting 19ng, a wooden shed was erected for them in the park. At first they hardly ever went into it ; but when winter commenced, I made the keeper (whom they follow like a dog) put up a small rack in a thefr 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, they relished it better. I then ordered 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 excellent beans, I ordered the man to try them with a few. 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 every other sort of grain ; indeed, so much so, that upon some oats being intermixed with the beans, the latter were picked out and the former neglected. " What is extremely satisfactory 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 ne*r at tempted to leap a fence, and are far easier to keep within an enclosure than the common sheep." LLOYD'S SHIPPING. NOTICE TO MARINERS. The following is posted at Lloyd's "In the North Elbe, betweeen the Vogelsand and the Gelbsand, the following buoys have been placed for the benefit of navigation : " A black buoy, No, 1, on the N.E. side of the Vogelsand, in about 3 fathoms water at low tide, N.E.

The following important information has been re ceived at New Bedford, from the American Consul at the Bay of Islands:— " Having obtained information of three dangerous rocks in juxta-position with the Centes Islands in the South Pacific Ocean—the position of these rocks lie directly on the track of ships cruising for sperm whales, in lat. 31.14, lon. 178.3, bearing E.N.E., by compass, from the French rock, eighty-five miles distant, said to be twelve feet water in it, but no breakers were discovered on it. "The second rock lies in lat. 31.13, lon. 179 W., bear ing W.N.W. from the French rock, ten miles distant, just a wash with the surface of the sea, and breaks high in boisterous weather.
