ThE _LONDON- JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. August 14. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The People of England will know what to think of the refusal to delay the Funeral of her late - MAJwry for a single day, to allow time for the necessary preparations ; and also the refusal to allow the Funeral to proceed through the City, in order to defeat the wish expressed by the" Coaimon Council of the City of London, that the citizen-s might have an opportunity of paying their last respects to her Majesty's remains. —Soon after the breath had quitted her Ma jesty's body, some of the advocates of Ministers exclaimed—" Let us - now bury all animosities — let us tread lightly over the ashes of the deceas ed." Do they think the determination to pre vent the people from availing themselVes of this last occasion to show the regard in which they held" her Majesty, is really calculated tnexein gaish animosities ? [MORNING POST . 1 . , It is really painful to contemplate. the patt v; lath has been imposed 'upon Lady 'flood, for we can never believe that a person of her rank and character could have voluntarily become the ally of the most desperate Radicals of the day, aria., like her unfortunate mistress, sacrificed her self to . promote .their mischievous ends. When we say sacrifi - e, we do not use too strong a term. For as a person of sense—as a possessor Of those delicate -feelinas which make man a Gentleman, and woman a Lady—as a friend to decorum and to public order, the writer of the. , letters addressed to the Earl of Liverpool, and especially of that niarked IV. can' no longer command our sym pathy or our respect. There is a pas Sage in that letter so full of wanton barbarity, so much like stab and a smile, that we defy the most savage being to read it, without one of those sudden sinkings of the heart always occasioned by spec tacles of cold atrocity. We shall not point it out: transcription it needs none. It stands so prominent a monument of unmitigated cruelty, that none who peruse the letter can fail to know it by the shock which they receive. Neither shall we inquire by whom it was dictated to her Ladyship. It bespeaks its origin. It springs from that faction, which, after turning . one branch of the Press into a vehicle for poison, now avails itself of the weakness of - individuals, especially of those of the other sex, to disseminate that poison in a different shape, and through new, and therefore unsuspected channels. But we will tell her Ladyship how and why she has unfortunately been made on this occasion the mouth-piece and the victim of the Radicals. Deeply afflicted, no doubt, at the loss of her Royal Mistress and Friend, the state of her feel ings presented her disarmed and unguarded to the'''. view. They - saw her ready to imbibe any opi nion, and to take any step which delusion might represent as calculated to- do honour to the De parted. They thought her capable of becoming, and they made her a dupe. [BRITISH PRESS.] We believe that war was never so generally desired throughout Europe as that one should now break out between Russia and Turkey.— This.feeling is equivalent to a wish . for the utter demolition of the Ottoman power in Europ e for, estimating the military force of Russia in comparison with that of Turkey, the superior discipline of the RuSsian army, and the enthusiasm with which the troops are said to be inspired for the contest, there are few who do not anticipate, in the event of a war, the com plete victory of •the Russians. The Ottoman army is said to be rapidly increasing in the provinces north of the Danube ; but what can the unwieldy mass of a Turkish rabble, without discipline or military skill, effect a4ainst a vete ran army inured' to military operations, flushed with the consciousness of recent achievements, and led ,by officers who have been practised in ' the great school of European tactics ? • . [THE TIM Es.] We felts it our duty .to make yesterday some statements which reached us from good authority,, in respect to tie - Mismanagement of the British na lial force, and the risks and dissatisfaction thence arising to the commercial interest of the empire. Af ter alluding to some abuses in theWesandies,which if they have existed in the extent described to us, are not of a less disgraceful than injurious character, we briefly touched upon the 4dminis tratiiin . of our maritime power in ,the Mediter ranean and Levant. Yesterday's arrivals supply us with some facts relative to the latter • station, which are deserving of notice. In the Mediter ranean there are at present* about 10 British shiPS . ,. while the French, with not half • so much commerce to protect; contrive to have 16 or 17 1 cruisers to defend it, which are always found on the spot where they are required, and are prompt in' the execution. of their 'popular and Useful . - ditties. TO the . fact, so much more creditable to France than to 'this GovernL ment, that it was she, and not C rent Britain, who gaVe refuge to the Christians at .Smyrna, we have to subjoin anotheritistaUce of the supe rior . compelence of the. French Government to the discharge of its proper functions—the first instance (we dare .not hope „it will be the last) of .British. subjeCts and public officers re ceiving from ajoreign maritime power that pro-. tection which the navyi.of, England ;was I.6unditt capable of affording them !, , :) , Vere. but •two or : three of that squadran,now , :swelling ; the pagean try an the Irish coast, eltiPlOyed, as.they;ougAtt tv be in the defence of. ours abroaa-,••there would be less occasion for complaint or scandal. .[NEW TIMES.] This day the remains of, hey_Majesty will bere moved, with all flue solempity,from Brandenburgh House to Chelmsford., in "their way to 11 arw i eh, to be there embarked tor, Germany. The procession - will begin to mue frOm Brandonburgb-house at seven o'clock, and will proceed, as is believed, to the northward of. London, so as to take the "nearest road to its place of destination. We could have wished that at such a moment all dis- 7 1 .cordant sentiments .11ould have been hushed ; but, unfortunately, it is impossible by any sort of 'arrangement to please all persons, and those who are dissatisfied do not always consider whether the 'moment be most decent and proper for shew-P ing their dissatisfaction. Her Majesty, in most express terms, desired that her body might be removed Within three days from her decease. It was impossible to comply with her wish literally, but the Governinent was anxious to come as - near as possible to a literal .compliance, and had ,there fore fixed yesterday. Upon a representation from her Majesty's Executors, however, the time was extended to this day :.yet after that was finally settled, "came a new demand from Lady flood, that the time should be postponed till Wednesday or Thersday. We have every re spect for her Ladyship, but we really cannot see what right or authority She has to interfere in the matter ; aid if she - is listened to, Ave know not why half a dozen successful applicants (such as Mr. William Austin, or Mr. Alderman Wood, or Mr. llume, "or Mr. liurcombe, or any other equally important personage,) may not expect his Majesty's Government to unsettle all their arrangements day after day. To demonstrate by what illiberal sentiments the Editor of The Old Times is actuated, it is only necessary for us to advert to his unworthy and unmerited abuse of a whole nation. 44 The ge nerous Irish, as they call themselves," says he, " will receive the first tidings of the embarka tion of her Majesty's remains from the shores of England, as the signal for joyous festivity and unbounded revelry : so rapturous will be their sympathy with a living King ; sojudicious their for-, getfulness of a dead Queen." Among all the im putations that we ever heard on the Irish character, we believe malignity itself never before denied that they were a generous people ; it never was insinuated that they had that cold cal culating disregard of ,the deceased, which the above writer designates by the terms " judicious forgetfulness." No, this is rank calumny, and Ca lunmy on a whole nation—on all parties, and all' descriptions of men in Ireland. They are all, according to this novel species of slander, a set of selfish cringing flatterers where their interest is to .be promoted ; and of heartless unfeeling wretches, where there is no power to enrich or reward them for their attentions ! How is it possible that any writer can so grossly insult common sense ? The reason is plain. The Irish are loyal ; all parties .among them have sunk their dissensions in a com mon enthusiasm and heart-felt attachment to a patriot King; and it is the contemplation of such a scene as this, which embitters the reflections of a sour Malcontent. The Old Times speculates on the growth of disaffection, and looks to Radi calism as a certain source of profit ; its craft is in danger, since loyalty triumphs ; and it sickens and pines away, when it sees a whole People thus cordially united with their Sovereign. The " hundred thousand welcomes" to George IV. are a hundred thousand daggers to the malignant and envious Journalist.--(lbid.) PROVINCIAL JOURNALS, [FROM THE BIRMINGHAM HERALD OF AUGUST 11.] The intelligence of the death of the QUEEN was received in this town on Wednesday evening ; it was an event which the previous Bulletins had prepared us for; the nature of the com plaint forbidding any oiler result to be expected. The war dens of the parish churches directed the bells to be tolled throughout the day.—lt is most probable that her Majesty' like other persons in her situation, felt too proper a sense of the insufficiency of human nature, to give way to such language as' some of the prints have represented her as using ; it is more likely that her mind was occupied in the preparation and con templation of the awful change which she knew she must speedily undergo. We do not learn by any of the Papers, what Clergyman attended her Majesty during her illness:— We sincerely hope that as her Majesty has paid the great debt of nature, and she is now in the presence of Him who knoweth the secrets of all hearts, that party spirit will be suffered to die away among us ; that the ashes of the illustrious dead will not be disturbed ; but as we have few of the Royal stock of Brunswick remaining, that to those we shall all feel devoted, and endeavour to make their reign over a free, happy, and united people, glorious to them, and beneficial to the country. We have throughout the whole course of the late unhappy business kept ourselves free from any severe remarks, and we shall now make it a point of duty never more to allude to a subject which has always been to us a matter of the utmost re gret. The latest account we have from Holyhead reports that the King passed from thence to Dublin on Wednesday, before the advises of the Queen's death had been received by him, and when the news represented her Majesty to have experienced im portant relief. We should lament very much if the intelligence of the Queen's demise were to prevent the King from pursuing his intended voyage to Ireland. The extensive preparations that have been made by the people of Ireland to greet the coming of their King in a manner befitting his rank and their own character, prove the earnestness and since :rity -of their joy at the promised favour. All distinc - Ctions of party and of religion, which have hitherto dis tracted that country, have merged into one generous and uni versal glow of affectionate loyalty ; and without a paradox it may be truly said, Ireland, in the midst of her present anxious agitation, enjoys a degree of tranquillity to which the people have long been strangers. But the good worker only commenced, and awaits the actual presence of the King to com plete it. It would therefore be little short of a national cala mity, if his Majesty were prevented by any circumstances from effecting the gre--a purpose of his preSent expedition. Besides, why should his Majesty return to London or to Brighton upon receiving the-intelligence of the Queen's decease ? It would be idle to talk about the probability of the King's feeling any par ticular sorrow upon receiving the news of his Queen's death.— Their Majesties never enjoyed the opportunity of mutually ap preciating by experience the good qualities of each other ohm union was accompanied by none of those circumstances which might now give a bitterness to the moment of final separation, and his Majesty cannot be expected to feel one pang more upon the dissolution of his Royal Consort than he might be supposed to experience upon receiving intelligence of the death of any ordinary acquaintance. SOUTHAMPTON, AUGUST 11.—Great prepara tions are making for the reception of his Royal Highnets the Duke of SussEx, who is expected by the 30th inst. They are under the direction of Sir - W. C.. DE cItEiPIGNY, who is now recovered from his late intlisposition.—The Britannia for Havre, and Elizabeth to Caen, have sailed with General Stevenson and family, Captain Main waring, R. N. family, and carriage, Skinner, Esq. and family, Capt. Neyno and. Lady, Mr. Auldjo and Party, and many others.—The Plowing-match between- Tickell, of Mill-place, and Henbest, of Bramshaw, took place on Mon day last, in a field belonging to Mr. Wm. White, of Ower ; the Same was witnessed by a large company of Agriculturists, and was given most decidedly in favour of Tickell's Plough, it being much liglger in draught ; and its work altogether superior, AGRICULTURE. Yesterday se'nnight the exhibition of Stock fur the Premiums offered by the Petersfield Agricultural Society, took place in a field near the town, and a better shew of sheep has not been known for many years. A great many Gen-1 tlemen and Breeders of stock attended, and were much pleases with the evident improvement which had taken place in the stock within these few years, both as to fleece and carcase. After' the stock had been inspected, the company ad journed to an excellent dinner, provided by Dean, at the Dolphin Inn, Richard Norris, Esq. in the. Chair. After dinner many loyal and ap propriate toasts were drank, and the Chairman proceeded to adjudge the Prizes. The first Prize having been given by the late Viscountess Gage, the Chairman, in delivering it to J. White, Esq, of Paulsgrove, the successful Candidate, paid a merited eulogiurn to the memory of the donor, and regretted the loss sustained by the neighbourhood in the death of that excellent and much respected character. The thanks of the Meeting were given , to Sir 11. Fetherstonehaugh, Bart. and James Scott, Esq. of Rotherfield Park, for exhibiting some of their capital stock as usual, without claiming prizes ; and Mr. White also ex pressed his intention to send his stock in future upon the same terms. Mr. Lipscomb, the Secre tary, having received many prizes from the So ciety, and obtained the prize given by Mr. Scott for this year, informed the Society he should keep the prize, and give one of equal value for the next shew, and decline receiving any prizes in future. The Chairman, Mr. Scott, and T. Bon ham, Esq. very handsomely continued their prizes for the next year. The Steward of his Grace the Duke of Richmond was present, and intimated the intention of his Grace to become a Member of the Society.—lt is a lamentable circumstance that not one application was made from labourers for the rewards offered to those who bad main tained their families without parochial relief; and there is no doubt but this may, in a great measure, be accounted for by the universal state of pauperism to which the peasantry are now re duced.—Some wool-dealers attended the Meet ing, and purchased the fleeces of several growers. and with a view to encourage buyers to attend in future, the whole of the growers present came to a resolution not to dispose of their next year's wool till the annual meeting of the Society, which it is expected will induce many buyers to attend, and the Society may thus open a market for the sale of that staple commodity. HORTICULTURE. The Annual Horticultural Meeting, yesterday se'nnight, at the Swan Inn, Chichester, was most respectably and numerously attended. The spew of luxuriant fruit was unexampled and admirable in their respective kinds. After a dinner, served by Hewlins in the first style, with wines of ex quisite flavour, the dessert was introduced, which excited the most Satisfactory sensations, comprising, among other forced and natural fruits, four pines, 26 melons, and a profusion of grapes. The various prizes were well contested, and the deci sion of the umpires gave universal satisfaction to the friendly competitors. The pine prize was obtained by Mr. Fowler, gardener to General Crosbie, of Watergate; the melon prizes were awarded as follow :—the first, to Mr. Simms, gardener to W. Leeves, Esq. of Tortington ; the second to Mr. Cook, gardener to the Rev. L. "Way, of Stanstead ; the third to Mr. Hall, gardener to Sir Geo. Stanton, of Leigh ; and the fourth to Mr. Bowers, gardener to Lord Selsea, of West Dean ; the grape prize was also won by Mr. Cook. The liberal subscrip tions to the fund, with the accession of many new Members, among whom are his Grace the Duke of Richmond, Lord J. G. Lennox, the Right Honourable W. Huskisson, T. Fitz herbert, Esq. &c. are gratifying pledges to the Gentlemen who instituted this society, of its increasing popularity : A meeting of the Branch Horticultural Society was held last week, at the Dolphins Inn, Southampton, when the prize, awarded for the most rare and beautiful flowers, was given to G. R. Ricketts, Esq.; and the prize for the finest gooseberries, to the Rev. Mr. Gamier, many of which weighed upwards of an ounce, and measured one inch and a half in circumference. The thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Rogers, nursery man, for his brilliant collection of dahlias and carnations, which were most beautiful. The annual Carnation show was held at the Sun Inn, Win chester, on the 7th August. Five pots of flowers were exhibited, amongst which were some very large and beautiful specimens of this much admired flower. The first prize was adjudged tour. Hopkins, of Winchester ; the second to Mr. Miller, gardener to G. R. Ricketts, Esq. ' • the third to Mr. Franklin, Florist, City Road, London.—An excellent dinner was served up by Sturges to a most respectable company. WEST COWES.—A respectable meeting of Ladies and Gentlemen, Subscribers to the Na tional Schools recently instituted in this town, and of which his Majesty is the Patron, assembled in theiC spacious school-room on the Bth instant, (the Right Hon. Lord Grantham in the Chair) ; when a Committee of Management, Trustees, Treasurers, &c. were appointed for the ensuing year.—A. tribute of grateful acknowledgement was paid to George Ward, Esq. for his very liberal gift of the land on which, the School-room is erected ; and, after a series of resolutions, and an appropriate ,and well-merited vote of thanks to the distinguished Chairman for' his conde scending affability and kindness, the meeting dis solved, not without the fullest hope that this interesting Institution would in all respects an swer the purposes for which its benevolent found ers designed it. On Sunday evening,: (the 6th instant) Prince RATIFIE, son of the reigning Monarch of the Island of Madagascar, arrived at the Falcon Tavern, Gravesend, and took coffee with some Gentlemen there. His sable Highness has been residing in England, for some time, for the pur pose of acquiring an insight into our religion, laws, and customs, and-is now about to return in the Columbia, to the dominions of his father, and illuminate his Court with the knowledge he has obtained, and to astonish his countrymen, by a detail of all the wonders he has seen in this our favoured country.—( Kentish Gazette.) The paper-making trade was never brisker in this county than it has been for some months past, a circumstance highly beneficial to a nu merous class of industrious workmen in that line.—(hkm). THE MURDER. IN 'WHITECHAPF.L.-Yesterday an Inquisition was held before JOHN WRIGHT UNwix, Esq. and• a very respectable Jury, at the sign of the Union Flag, in Union-street, White chapel, on view of the body of Mr. N. WILD, who was inhumanly murdered on Friday night last, as stated in our Paper of yesterday. Ver dict—" Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." THE ASSIZES. YORK, Au G. 10.-(CROWN SIDE.) PETTY TREASON AND MURDER. This trial excited much interest, and the Court was excei sively crowded in everypart long before Mr. Justice HOLROYD took his seat on the bench. The Ladies formed a large majo:- rity of the spectators. Ann Barber, aged 45, the wife of James Barber, was charged by the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of James Bar ber, her husband, by giving him white arsenic in ale and sugar, on the 16th of March last, of which he died next morning. Messrs. MAUDE and liAnDv conducted the prosecutiOn. Mr. JONES defended the prisoner, but lainented that he had not been applied to, or received hii brief, till this morning as he was coming into Court. • . Mr. MAtJDE stated the outlines of the case.—The deceased had had a small property of. his own at Rhodes-green, in the parish of Rothwell. He had married the prisoner in 1805. They had lived very happily till a young man of the name of William Thomson came to live with them at MartinmaS last. They had two children, the younger 9. or 10 years. of age. The mother of the prisoner lived very near, and was there at the time of his decease. Her brother had coma with another man and prayed with the deceased on the evening before his death. The. prisoner would be proved to have bought a pennyworth of arsenic at 'Wakefield, on Friday, the -16th of March, and to have given it to her husband that evening in ale and sugar. The motive had been a criminal attachment to Thomson, with whom she had left her house on the 26th of December, and lived for a week with him, in a cottage of one room, which she had taken for the purpose, at Potovens, four miles distant from her husband's house. A horse and cart had been bought by money left her as a legacy by her father. Thomson's name was paint ed on this cart, and in this cart they conveyed some furniture for the cottage from her husband's house. The neighbours became so indiomant, that the 'prisoner and Thomson were dri ven with riot f"rom their cottage. The husband received her again, but Thomson was obliged to leave her society. It would be proved that she refused to call in a medical man, and said on the night of the 16th that her husband would be and before morning. The medical man who opened the body would fully prove that the deceased had died by poison taken into his sto mach, and the evidence which would be laid before' them would leaVe no doubt that the poison had been administered by the prisoner at the bar. We gave an outline of - this case soon after the horrid event occurred. After the examination of several witnesses, and the guilt of the prisoner had been -Pally ascertained, Mr. Justice II OLROTD summed up the evidence with•great pains, and explained the various points of law connected with the case. The Jury retired for ten minutes, and found a verdict of Guilty. CLERK.—Ann Barber, what have you to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you, according to law ? Prisoner.- 7 -1 am.very sorry I should be found guilty by false Swearing. Whin his Lordship had covered his head, and was proceed ing to pass sentence, she shrieked and dropped down. When raised, she caught fast hold of the iron bar before her, and look ed towards his Lordship with a countenance extremely distorted with horror at her fate, and kept making the .responses within parentheses : the colour of her cheeks deepening as his Lordship proceeded, till it became blood red. Mr. Justice Il OLROYD.—Ann Barber, you have been found guilty of the dreadful crime of murder, and a murder of a, very aggravated nature, inasmuch as it was the murder of your hus band, whom, by your marriage vow, you were bound to love and cherish.--(" It is all false swearing.")—You have been convicted on what has appeared to me the clearest evidence.— (" No, Sir.")—No reasonable creature can have a doubt of rout guilt rom the clearness of the proof.—(" I am very sorry.")— Your defence has been conducted very ably, and all the objec tions in point of law which could be made were urged by your Counsel. It has been represented in the evidence as if your husband had got rid of - himself from pain and anxiety arising Prom your conduct. But other circumstances chew completely that the poison was administered by yourself -(" No")—and on the very day on which you bought - it.— (" I never was in that shop in my life, my Lord.")—So de termined were, you on his destruction, that you Said it, was not necessary to send for a medical man, for that .he would be dead before morning. This effect yOu expected frOm the deadly ,poison you had giyen him.--(" No, my Lord,. no.")— It is deplorable, and I lament to say that the obduracy of your heart continued even when you-saw your husband in agony under the pain of the poison you gave. You are a dreadful' ex ample of the consequences of giving way to dissolute inclina tions. It was your dissolute inclinations that brought you'into the miserable and ignominious situation in which you now stand. It is impossible, in consistency with the security of society, or with the laws of God and man, that mercy can be extended to you. The very short time that remains for you it is necessary that you employ in the most complete repentance. —(Were the prisoner cried and wept in the bitterest manner.) — Humble yourself before God, that you may receive that mercy hereafter vihich•l regret is impossible -to lie shewn you here.— It now only remains that I pronounce upon you the sentence of death. (After sentence, she clung to the person who stood next her and cried —" 0 save me, save me.") She was asked whether she knew any reason why execution of the sentence should be delayed, and answered in the negative. This unhappy woman has the.appearance of having been a sober, grave, thoughtful, andinost industrious ,person. She was meanly clad, and looked considerably older than the calendar represents her. - LINCOLNSHIRE ASSIZES. TITHE CAUSE. ASHTON AND ANOTHER V. CUST (THE HOW. AND REV. It ) This important cause was tried before Chief Baron Richards at the Slimmer Assizes at Lincoln last - year; when the Jury hav ing returned a verdict for the plaintiffs, the defendant moved the Court above, and obtained an order for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence. The cause was an issite directed by the Court of Exchequer, on a suit pre ferred in that ( ourt by the Rev. Plaintiff', who claimed to be entitled to all the vicarial tithes of the parish of Hough on the Hill with Gelston and Brandon. The defendants named in the issue are Mr. • Wm. Ashton and Mr. Wm. Beecham, on the part of themselves and the rest of the parishioners of Hough, with its hamlets ; and the question to try was whether the Rey. Gent. be entitled to break through a customary payment, and to take tithe in kind, or whether a composition of sd. an acre for lands in Hough and Gelston, and 6d. an acre for lands in, Brandon, be of sufficient antiquity to have acquired the vali dity of a modus.—Mr. Scarlett, on a special retainer, with Mr. Reader and Mr. Phillipps, led the cause for the parish ioners;` and Mr. Clarke (in the absence of Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, from his recent accident) led, with Mr. Denman and the Hon. Mr. Finch, for the defendant. Nlr. Scarlett stated the case with his usual ability, and observed that he should call persons to give viva voce testimony of usage without the ?lightest variation for a period of more.than one hundred and thirty years, with such other indubitable proofs of a modus, as that none but a Jury of parish clerks could for a moment hesi tate to support the rights he contended for. Ire called as his wit nesses, Mr. Jackson Farmer, of Lessinghani, Mr. J. Simpson, of Somerby, Mr. John Fisher, of Stragglethorpe, and Mr. Geo. Lowson (who were witnesses on the. former trial), with the addition this time of Mr. William Seward and Mr. Robert Crossby,—"all of whom were persons advanced in years, and who had had long acquaintance with „Hough, Gelston, and Brandon, from the residence of themselves, and in most in stances of their fathers and grandfathers. They proved the constant payment of the composition, and that no other pay ment for vicarial tithes had been known in those places.—Mr. Clarke, though labouring under indisposition, made for, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Cust, a most able and animated address to the Jury : and afterwards adduced the same evidence for the defence as on the previous trial. Mr. Scarlett replied in a 'speech of singular ingenuity- and force; and the Lord Chief Baron summed up. His Lordship said, by the rule of law, Mr. Cust was beyond all doubt entitled to tithes in kind, unless the other side could,show a modus made before the time of Richard the First ; and the question for the Jury was, whether the. supposed •agreement for sd. and 6d. an acre, in lieu of tithes really existed at that time ; for, if the composition was shewn to have existed for 2 or 300 years, that degree of antiquity did not signify : to be worth any thine . , it must be as old as the time of Richard I. The evidence called for the plaintiffs, his Lordship observed, was as strong as it could be, to show that the sd. and 6d. had been the unvaried payments for a long course of years ; but, on the other hand, the evidence for defendant's right was very strong, and could not in law be shaken, by 'proof of usage for , about 150 years, which was the utmost bound of the plaintiff's case.—The Jury (of which•fivewere special and :the rest talesmen) retired for nearly two hours, and on their return to Court, delivered a ver dict for the plaintiffs. [JAMES CawTrion.)r has been convicted at these Assizes of the murder of his wife by poisoning her. The crime was com mitted last March.. We stated the particulars of the case at the time, but to-morrow we shall insert the whole of the trial.] SIIOCEING AcctnENT.—Sunday last, Master Cif.titucs Coox, whilst amusing himself gathering some cherries off one of the trees in his father's garden at Hartnondsworth, near Hounslow-heath, unfortunately pitched head foremost from the tree, and was so dreadfully injured that he died, shortly afterwards. tONDON MARKETS.
