The following is the speech of the Lord Provost at the examination of the scholars last week. It may be interesting to our readers to state, that the pre sent Lord Provost is the eminent publisher in Edin burgh, and that some of the most distinguished men of the age .were reared at this school ; among others, Lord Brougham, Lord Jeffrey, Lord Cockburn, the Lord Justice Clerk, Mr. Horner, Mr. Rutherford, Mr. Alison, and, last, not least—for he has made, we believe, a fortune surpassing that of all named—Mr. Matheson, the celebrated Canton merchant, and Mem ber for Ashburton : The LORD PROVOST, addressing the Rector, Dr. Carson, said—Sir, those who have been privileged to witness the exhibition of this day cannot fail to be impressed with the immense advantages which this school confers upon Edinburgh.—(Great applause.) From its walls have come forth men whose names are now illustrious in science and in art, who have held the highest situations in this kingdom, and whose influence has been felt over the whole civilised world; so that the wisdom and the morality gathered here has not been confined to the individuals who received it, but has been spread abroad, not only over this country, but through other lands; so that it may be truly said this school is a light, not to lighten Edin burgh alone, but the world at large.—(Great applause.) To you, Sir, and to your colleagues, we consider ourselves eminently indebted. It is im possible that the pupils of this school could have made the progress they have done, unless intelligence, affection, and zeal, on the part of the teachers had been eminently manifested.—(Applause.) We hear much said of the advantages of schools in other quar ters ; but I am bold to say that there is not in Scot • land, or in the three kingdoms, a literary establish ment which stands higher, or is better fitted for the discharge of the duties it has to perform, than the High School of Edinburgh.--(Applause.) I am proud to say that the sons of the humble citizens of Edinburgh may here acquire an education as good as is elsewhere received by the sons of the highest nobles in the land.—(Loud applause.) We have witnessed with great satisfaction the progress which has been made in all"the classes ; but I was particularly struck, Sir, with the attainments made by the class which has been under your care. I recollect when I was in that class—alas ! now some forty or fifty years ago—(Great applause)—and it seems to me that the boys on the lowest form now are better Greek scholars than those on the highest form were then ; so that here is a, proof that the school not only maintains its efficiency, but that it is making progress and keeping equal pace with any other institution.—(Applause.) I have to say for myself that I regard this school with gratitude and af fection ; and I shall never cease in that way to regard it, because to it I am indebted for all the advantages I have obtained in the course of my after life.—(Ap plause.) Any other place would have required larger expenditure for education than my parents could boast of; and I am proud to think that here the sons of the humblest meet on equal terms with the sons of the highest, and compete with them for the highest prizes. —(Great applause.) I can only say to the young gentlemen, that I trust they will make such a use of the education they re ceive here as will do credit not only to themselves, but to the school where they received it. There is one point, however, to which I think it of consequence to advert. We often hear it said, of what use is Greek and Latin to boys, most of whom are not to spend their time in literary professions, but are to be en gaged in commerce or trade ? I would ask those who have witnessed the exhibition of this day if the edu cation given is confined to Latin and Greek ? Have we not had an opportunity, even in this hall, of seeing the progress made by the boys in English com position ? From one we have had a philo sophical essay; from others we have had poems which would do credit to much more ex• perienced versifiers ; and we have here taught, besides, geography, arithmetic, writing, and, in fact, all the branches that are necessary for a young gentleman to acquire. And it is farther to be borne in mind, that when a boy acquires a knowledge of Latin and Greek, he has not only acquired those languages, but his mind has by that act of acquisi tion become disciplined and prepared for any intel lectual exercise to which he may be called in any after part of his life.—(Applause.) A boy so disciplined and obliged to give great attention to the exercise of his mental faculties, and who has thus obtained a knowledge of the niceties of language— let the mental powers of that boy be applied to any other purpose in the arts, in commerce, or in trade, and he will find that his previous training has admirably fitted him for the discharge of his duties, L in whatever sphere his lot *may -be cast. •I trust, therefore, that my fellow-citizens will not consider that the education afforded in this school is of a limited nature ; for, independent of the direct benefits of classical education, it enables those who engage in it, when they have got hold of this instrument of language, more easily to master any other subject in which they my be engaged. -I trust that the pupils of this school will so conduct themselves as not only to carry off a large amount of knowledge from this seminary, but that they will, in after life, do credit to themselves, to their friends, and to their country. SCOTCH MEDICAL DEGREES. - - The attention of the Senatus Academicus of the University of Edinburgh has lately been directed to various cases of the fraudulent assumption of their medical honours by persons who either have never become graduates at all, or who have obtained diplomas from academical bodies not very scrupulous, and not even possessing the means of imparting a medical education. Regarding the false assumption of their degree not only as criminal in itself, but as calculated to lower the estimation in which Doctors of Medicine of this University have long been held, the Senatus Acaßemicus have resolved to employ the most effectual means of defeating all attempts to practise this discreditable imposition. And, as an example of the consequences to be expected from such attempts, it has been thought proper to publish the following case : In 1838, a person named George Haslewood, wish ing to establish himself as a physician at Pau, in the Basses Pyrenees, and pretending to have had the degree of 141. D. conferred On him by the - University of Edinburgh, obtained the requisite license from the Minister of Public Instruction at Paris; but as suspi cions were excited at Pau, with regard to the truth of his representation, an inquiry on the subject was addressed to the Secretary of this University. The answer to the Secretary, being in the negative, was communicated to the Minister of Public Instruction, who, after ordering an investigation, was at first de ceived by an unfounded assurance, that diplomas could be purchased at Edinburgh without even the personal attendance of the candidates, and that the diploma in question had been procured on the pay ment of a large sum of money to a practitioner then at Pau, who was about to retire, and who has since died. The Senatus, on being informed of this audacious and scandalous defence, transmitted to her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a narrative of the case, accompanied by a re quest that his Lordship would communicate the parti culars to the British Ambassador at Paris, that the French Government might be made fully aware of the facts. In consequence of this application, official information has now been received, that the Ambas sador had transmitted to the French Government the representation of the Senatus, and had subsequently ascertained that Mr. Haslewoo d had surrendered the license which had been previously granted to him, and was about to leave Pau. The Senatus Academicus may probably find it ne cessary to expose some other instances of similar de ceptions which have recently been reported to them. In the meantime they take this opportunity of stating, that during the whole period of the existence of the Medical School in this University, the Senatus had never once conferred the degree of M.D. except on candidates, who, after producing satisfactory ev idenc e of having completed a regular course of study in all the branches of medicine, either here or in other Uni versities, have submitted to strict and careful exami nations by the members of the Medical Faculty, and have, in presence of the assembled Senatus, sub scribed the Sponsis Academica, solemnly binding them to uphold the honour of the University, by the faithful observance of its rules, and by the pure and correct exercise of their professional duties. Edinburgh College, Aug. 1, 1844. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—It is with the deepest sorrow, the most painful regret, the particulars of a frightful calamity have just reached us. A pony and car were got this morning on the strand at Doran's Island. The pony was dead, and there is every reason to fear that Mr. Cuffe Martin and his lady, who had a sea-lodge in the island, and who left this town at about 10 o'clock last night, have been lost in the tide. Indeed, it is very generally reported that their bodies have been found at the Point, clasped in each other's arms. Nothing can exceed the sympathy and grief of all classes. We never saw such an excitement m this town before at so painful and unexpected an occurrence. It has been rumoured that some of their 'children were in the car with them, but we are well informed that all the children are in the lodge on the island.— Sligo Journal RAILWAY COMPETITION.- - It appears, from the evidence given before the Select Committee by Mr. Glyn, Chairman of the London and Birmingham Rail way, that when the competition between the Midland Counties and Birmin g h am an d D e rby Railways was at its height, the redu c t ion o f c h arges had put the working' stock of the two co mpan i es i n suc h a deteriorated con dition, that the Birmingham Board were obliged to write to one of them (the Derby Company, we have no doubt), to tell them that they should be compelled, with reference to the safety of the public, to prevent their car riages coming upon the London and Birmingham line ! Mr. Glyn adds—" The result of the competition was what we have seen in most other cases—that the passen gers were carried at a very low cost for a time, and ulti tnately the companies came to a combination, and then raised their fares to the full extent that they were be fore the combination commenced, and, in some few points, rather higher ! "—Railway Record. Low FARES ON RAILWAYS. —ln his examination before the Select Committee on Railways, Mr. Rowland Hill, of Post- office celebrity (and who is a Director of the London and Brighton Railway), was asked by Mr. Horsman if he believed that a grea t. reduction of fares throughout the wh o l e railways in the country would be followed by a very large increase of traffic? His answer 'was, " I think that all experience goes to show that such would be the result." In answer to a further ques tion, the witness admitted that the first effect of a great reduction of fares would' be to diminish the receipts, but he was " inclined to think that they would be gradually made up, to a very great extent at least."—Railway Record. RAILWAY NAVIGATORS.—The improvident habits of the class of men known as" navigators" or " navies," are alluded to in a report to the Poor-law Commis sioners, from Mr. IV. 13. Parker, an Assistant-Commis sioner, which is appended to the Fifth Report of the Select Committee on Railways. It appears that, during the winter of 1842, as many as fourteen of these persons were admitted in one night into the Abingdon work house. It is stated that they usually receive wages varying from 3s. to 4s. 6d. for every ten hours' labour, but are required by their gang or fellow workmen to subscribe a gallon of beer daily, and another gallon at the time the gauger or sub-contractor pays the Wages. "As the works ap proach . completion, employment is difficult to be ob tained, and then the labourers, having previously spent their earnings in the most lavish manner, undergo the severest privations, frequently subsisting for a whole week upon the wages of a single day. Ultimately there is no longer any prospect of employment upon that par ticular undertaking, and then the workmen remove, seek ing shelter and food in the union workhouses on their route, to some other locality where employment is more abundant."—Ruilway Record. COMMITTAL OF RICHARD DADD, TUE PARRICIDE. —ROCHESTER, Acc.-This morning this unhappy man was brought up on remand before a bench of magis trates, charged with the wilful murder of his father on the 28th of August, 1843, in Cobham-park. On the bench were the following county magistrates :—Rev. George Davies, Chairman ; William Elers, Esq., James Esq. J. O E II 7, Captain Thomas Baker, Smith, Esq William William 11. Gladdish, ryNai:th, ols Esq., &c. Night ingale, Esq., J. G. ' The evidence having been gone over, the particulars of which have been often published, the prisoner was asked if he had any questions to put, and, with a shake of the head, he said, " No." The magistrates retired for a short time, and on their retuan the Rev. Chairman inquired of the prisoner if he had anything to say why he should not be committed for the offence with which he stands charged ? Prisoner—Oh no, of course not. The pri soner was then committed. Mr. Brown, a solicitor, who attended on behalf of the family of this unfortunate young man, made a n a pp lica t i on to. the Magistrates under the 3d and 4th Victori a , cap. 24 , " that if two peace, and two sur geons , ma k e a report prisoner to the S ecretary o f St a t e , h receipt of it, order the pri s o ner t o b e con jotiufensedi acene i n s: nuosspfaoonm the upon t e ) lunaticof asylum." The Magistrates inti mated that such a course would be taken. RECOVERY FROM APPARENT DEATII.—Mr. F. Jessop, 3, Walbrook, has forwarded to us the following communication: —The following extraordinary case of apparent death and e x t raor d i nary recovery occurred hotel, elt6 Walbrook, on Mo n d a y. even i ng , a t ears that the w a it er , w h ose name at Deacon's o,elock. It is Boston, while pursuing his usual duties, was ob served to stagger, and utter an exclamation of pain, and would have fallen had not a gentleman sitting near caught him. Ho appeared perfectly insensi ble, an d w as no sooner conveyed to bed than to all appearances he immediately expired. The house was in consequence closed, and remained so till 12 o'clock lon Tuesday. Mr. Deacon, the proprietor, who was out of town, had arrived about the above time, and went into the room where the body lay, when he perceived a slight movement of the head—when, on further examina tion, he perceived that the heart was beating, though very slightly. Dr. Lucking, of Walbrook, was instantly called in, and applied restoratives, and in a short time, he so far recovered as . to be able to resume his usual avocations. Mr. James John Mills, a clerk in the bank of Messrs. Drummond, proved that the acceptance to the bill pro duced was in defendant's handwriting. The bill was dated Feb. 15, 1844, and was for I,OOOL The bill having been put in and read, the plaintiff's case closed. Mr. CHAMBERS then adiressed the jury and said, that although there were several pleas put upon the record by the defendant, the substantial 'defence to the action was, that the bill in question had been obtained by fraud, and that no consideration was given for it, except to the ex tent of 2001., which was all his Lordship had received for this and another bill of the same amount, which had been obtained from him under the circumstances that would be detailed in evidence. It appeared that in the month of January, 1844, his Lordship had re ceived a letter, dated from No. 24, Piccadilly, to the fol lowing effect :—" MyLord : Circumstances having brought to my knowledge that your Lordship would be wil ling to accept a loan of 1,0001. or 2,0001., I beg to in form you that I am in a position to obtain that amount for your Lordship, upon personal security, and at moderate interest." This letter was signed "J. Alves ;" and his Lordship, being in want of money, had an interview with Mr. Alves, and eventually it was arranged that his Lordship should accept the pre sent bill, and another-fer-the - same amount; which Mr Alves was to get discounted, upon the understanding that the rate of interest should be 25 per cent. Alves gave an acknowledgment of the receipt of the bills, and it was arranged that the money was to be handed over to his Lordship on the following Friday. He went ac cordingly to Mr. Alves' residence, but be did not come to the appointment. Shortly afterwards, however, that person sent him 2001., and this was all that he had re ceived upon the bill for which the present action was brought. He was instructed that he should be able to prove that no consideration was given for the bill, and, if he succeeded in doing so, the defendant was entitled to their verdict. In order to make out his case, he should be compelled to put Mr. Alves into the box, and he would, if he chose to speak the truth, give them the his tory of the whole transaction Mr. James Alves was then called—He said that he was an " agent," and resided at 24, Piccadilly, and knew Lord Charles Fitzroy. The bill now produced was ac cepted by his Lordship, and witness endorsed it to the plaintiff, Mr. Parry. All that he knew of the plaintiff was, that he was a man of property, and that he had had several bill discounting transactions with him. Be lieved that he endorsed the bill to the plaintiff . on the 16th of February, and he received in money for it alto gether about 6001. When he handed the bill over to be discounted, he did not state how he became possessed of it. Witness only gave Lord Charles Fitzroy 2001., and the rest of the money he kept in his possession. Witness wrote the letter now produced to his Lordship, and this led to the negotiation respecting the bills. The letter was here put in and read. Examination continued—His Lordship sent me an answer to my letter, and'he came to see me soon after wards. I then informed him that the terms upon which the money would be advanced were 25 per cent., payable quarterly. It was then arranged that he should give me two bills for 1,0001. each, and that I should get them discounted, but no particular agreement was made as to the amount of interest. I gave his-Lordship an acknow ledgment for the bills, and undertook to hand him over the money on the Friday following, but I could not get home in time to see him. I sent him 2001. the same day, and he never received any more money en account of the bills. I had my reasons for not giving his Lord ship any more money. Mr. NAMBERS—How was it that Mr. Parry did not give more than 604 for the 1,0001. bill ? Witness—We made arrangements about it, and I re ceived some pictures to make up the amount. If Lord Fitzroy had waited a few minutes longer on the day the appointment was made I should have handed him over all the money, or have made a fresh proposal as to the terms. I heard something which induced me, as my name was to the bill, to be alarmed, and I offered to ar range the matter with his Lordship and the plaintiff, but declined to give any more money. An action has been brought against me upon these bills. His Lordship did not know in what manner I had disposed of his bill, and our original agreement was, that it should be discounted, and the amount, less the interest, handed over to him. By Sergeant GASELEE—I acted in the traasactior. as the agent of Lord Charles, and I took the bill to Mr. Parry, the same as I should have done to any other capitalist. He knew nothing about my arrangement with Lord C. Fitzroy. I considered the pictures I re ceived with the 6001. were of the value of the bill. By Mr. Baron GURNEY—It is a difficult thing to say what a picture is really worth, but I should say these pic tures were worth 300/. By Sergeant GASELEE—His Lordship is between 50 and 60 years of age. He is a Member of Parliament. Mr. CHAMBERS said, this was his case. Mr. Baron GURNEY said it would not do. It had been proved that the plaintiff gave 600/. and some pic tures as consideration for the bill, and therefore he was entitled to their verdict. With regard to the interest that had been taken, the law allowed it, and therefore they had nothing to do with that. The jury then, under his Lordship's direction, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 1,0121., the amount of the bill and interest. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE applied for immediate exe cution. Mr. Baron GURNEY—No, I th;nk not. You have got 25 per cent. interest, and you can afford to wait a little while for your money. COOKE V. LORD C. FITZROY. This was an action to recover the amount of the other 1,0001. bill, referred to in the former trial. Mr. Horne appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Cham bers for the defendant. Mr. Alves was again called, and he deposed that he took the bill in question to Mr. Parry, and received 8501. Mr. Baron GURNEY asked what amount of discount was taken upon this bill, and the witness replied " 1001." Mr. Parry was then called, and he proved that he en dorsed the bill to the present plaintiff. Mr. CHAMBERS—What did you gives Alves for the bill? Witness—l first gave him a cheque for 400/., then one for 2501., and then one for 2001. Mr. Baron GURNEY told the jury there was no de fence, and they accordingly found a verdict for the plain tiff for 1,0121, as in the former case. Mr. HoRxE having applied for immediate judgment, The COURT refused the application, and said the par• ties could very well wait until the next term. CRIM. CON.-KENDALL V. PARRY. This was an action to recover compensation from the defendant for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. Sergeant Jones, Mr. Simon, and Mr. Crouch, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Knapp appeared for the de fendant. It seems that the plaintiff is a sergeant of police, and he had been married to his wife at the time of the trans action about ten years, and it was represented that they lived happily together. The defendant is an old man of seventy, and it appeared that he is a parish broker, and also possessed of some property. The plaintiff being in arrear pith his rent, the defendant, it appeared. about a year and a half ago went to his house by direction of his landlady, and it would seem that he had taken an im mediate fancy to the plaintiff's wife, and under the pre tence of desiring to relieve them from their difficulties, he said he would find some sempstress's work for her at his house, and advanced the money to pay the rent. The plaintiff not suspecting a man of the defendant's age could entertain such a wicked design as that of seducing his wife, did not offer any objection, and it appeared that she went to the defendant's house, and it was al leged that the criminal intercourse took place between them almost immediately afterwards. From that time the conduct of the plaintiff's wife became very much al tered, she took to drinking, and conducted herself in in such a manner that the plaintiff was eventually obliged to separate from her. At this time the husband did not entertain any suspicion of his wife's misconduct; but it would appear that at length he received an inti mation of what was going on, and he immediately took the necessary steps to obtain evidence of the defendant's misconduct, and the present proceedings were then in stituted. The jury found for the plaintiff.—Damages, 300/. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Coventry, Aug 5. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Susannah Jarvis, aged 13, a modest and rather pre possessing looking girl, was charged upon the Coroner's inquisition with the wilful murder of Emma Goldsby, aged 17 months. Mr. Miller and Mr. Adams conducted the case on the part of the prosecution; and Mr. liumfrey and Mr. Mil ler the defence. The prosecutrix keeps a respectable house in the city of Coventry, known as the Wheat Tavern, the prisoner being in her service as nursery-maid. Some short time previous to the transaction in question taking place, the prisoner had brought the baby home,with some scratches upon its person, when her mistress threatened to dis charge her. On the evening of the 22d of April, at about eight o'clock, Mrs. Goldsby had put the child into the cradle in the kitchen, and proceeded up stairs to put an elder one to bed, when she was alarmed by a cry from the deceased. Coming down stairs she met Jarvis. Mrs. Goldsby proceeded to the cradle, and took the baby in her arms, when she found it covered with blood. She ran out. saving to tl'e prisoner, " You have mur• dered. it." Prisoner denied it. saying, " Look at my hands, see how clean they are." One of the neighbours coming in, met the mother carrying the child and took it from her, laying it down on the kitchen table, when it gave two sighs and died. The child being found to be wounded in the neck, search was wade for the weapon, and on the dresser, within a yard and a half of the head of the cradle, a carving-knife lay ; so that it could have been reached, the blow struck, and the knife returned to its place, without the party striking the blow removing from the cradle. When the prisoner's hands were examined they were found to be clean, but the front of her pinafore was stained with blood. The account given by the prisoner herself, after being duly cautioned, was, that her mistress having gone upstairs, she (Jarvis) had gone down the yard to the petty, and while there heard a scream from the baby. As she was coming up the yard to ascertain what was the matter, she meta tall man without either shoes or stockings, but did not think she should know the man again if she saw him. Mr. Overton, the surgeon, said he was called in, and found a child lying in the lap of a female in the kitchen. Examined it, and found it dead. There was a wound on the left side of the neck, and in his judgment that wound had caused death. It was a stab, and had passed obliquely. Examined tho'cradle, and found blood in it. Also saw a knife with its point covered with blood in a fluid state. The wound in question was one that might have been produced by the knife. Mush blood would not have, escaped ; it would, from the nature of the wound; lose itself in the cavity of the chest. Theprisoner was not known to have been unkind to the child.. The defence was that the prisoner had not committed the deed, but that it might be inferred the man without shoes and stockings did. Such .a man was seen about the premises, and was traced some distance on the turn pike-road. The JUDGE having summed up, The jury retired to consider their verdict. Being un able to agree, they remained in deliberation until ten the following morning, when they were discharged, and the prisoner sent back to prison,,whert sluk will rettutin until the next assizes. George Skelsey was charged on the Coroner's inquisi tion with the wilful murder of Henry Chuley, on Satur day, April 27, at Lowe, in the county of Warwick. Mr. Mellor and Mr. Macauley were for the prose cution; and Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Hayes for the defence. It appeared in evidence that the deceased owed the prisoner a sovereign, and that the parties having met on the above day, prisoner asked deceased for the payment of the money, and at the same moment knocked the de ceased down, and with the most brutal violence kicked him; that upon prisoner being expostulated with for his brutality, he swore he would serve any man who inter fered with him the same; that upon deceased getting up, and, as well as he could making his way towards his home, Skelsey said he would go after him and do for him. Upon which he ran after deceased and again knocked him down, and again kicked him with increased violence and left him in a most deplorable condition ; that after a lapse of some considerable time deceased got up, and with the utmost difficulty, reached his house, where, in the space of a few moments, he expired. Be fore deceased reached his home prisoner got there and in quired for him, and upon finding he had not got home told his sister that he had done for him, or something to that effect, and that he would do for her. Prisoner did not, however, carry his threat into effect, and went away, and was shortly after apprehended. Verdict—Guilty of Manslaughter. Sentence—Transportation for fourteen years. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester Aug. 6. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) . . . . Joseph Woods, aged 43, was charged with having as saulted and robbed Sathuel Cortishley, on the highway, at Werneth. The Attorney-General and Mr. Beaver were for the prosecution, and Mr. Egertorrfor the prisoner. The prosecutor is a coal-dealer, residing in Werneth, and was in the habit of going round the village every Saturday, for the purpose of collecting sums of money from parties to whom he had given credit during the week. On Saturday evening, the 18th of May, he was returning home from his usual round, when he sat down by the road-side, about half-a-mile from his own house, to rest, being troubled with an asthma. While at this spot the prisoner came up, knocked him down, and beat him severely, and robbed him of lie. He then bade him to make the best of his way. home, or he would kill him. The prisoner being known to the prosecutor, he was ap prehended the same night at his own house. When told the charge, he admitted having beat the prosecutor, but denied the robbery. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of the good character he had received. • _ The Learned Judge sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the space of fifteen months. Peter Dain, aged 24, was charged with an assault on Samuel Wiltshaw, at Stockport, and with stealing 7s. 6d. from his person. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner per suaded the prosecutor, an aged man, to accompany him to a house, which, on his reaching, he discovered to be a house of ill fame, and • was about to leave it imme diately ; but the prisoner knocked him down, and with the assistance of another person succeeded in robbing him. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to two years'imprisonment and hard labour. John Jackson, twenty-six, was charged with stealing from the person of John Swindalls, at Stockport, a watch, his property. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 9th of April last the prosecutor and the prisoner were together at several public-houses in Stockport until a late hour. At length, about four o'clock in the morning, both sat down on the door-steps of the Swan's Head Inn, where the prosecutor fell asleep. Shortly afterwards, on being awoke by a police-officer, he found the prisoner had gone, and his watch was missing. A few days after wards, the prisoner gave the watch to a friend of his to pledge. He was convicted; and two previous convictions being proved against him, the Learned Judge sentenced him to be transported for ten years. The Grand Jury have this day ignored the bill pre ferred against the Rev. Mr. Creswell, of Stockport, who was charged with an unnatural crime. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Shrewsbury, Aug 6. CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice TI - NDAL: REMARKABLE CASE. On Monday, Susannah Wynne, aged thirty-four, de scribed in the calendar as a person who could read, or read and write imperfectly, was indicted for having, on the 12th of July last, feloniously stolen, at the parish of St. Chad, in the borough of Shrewsbury, one brass can dlestick, the property of John Bryan. • Mr. Corbet conducted the cased for the prosecution. The prisoner had not the assistance of counsel. The facts of the case had nothing in them which would have called for particular notice, had it not been for the remarkable astuteness exhibited by the prisoner—a woman with a swarthy and rather repulsive countenance, to which, hovvevei, a keen and bright dark eve occa sionally imparted much animation. It appeared that on Friday, the 12th of July, the prisoner came to the Mer maid public-house, in this town, and asked for a glass of rum. This particular " vanity" having been supplied the lady tossed off the liquor with the air of a person who was used to such things, and then requested per mission to take a seat in the kitchen until her little boy came, as she expected him to bring her some money, with which she should be enabled to discharge the debt which she had just contracted. The permission was granted, and the money was afterwards paid, but the prisoner still lingered in the kitchen of the Mermaid, and the maid servant of the establishment, who had served her with the rum, retired up stairs. At the time when she went up stairs, about a quarter to five in the after- ' soon, there were two brass candlesticks in the kitchen and at five in the afternoon the prisoner offered for sale to a Mrs. Lee, who keeps a broker's shop in Princes street, a very short distance from the Mermaid, a single brass candlestick, which Mrs. Lee bought for a shilling. With the shilling thus obtained, the prisoner went to the Golden Cross, and ordered and paid for a quart of ale, and eventually finished the day by getting so drunk that she was taken into the custody of the police, and locked up. While she was in durance, the prosecutor discovered that one of the two candlesticks which had been in the kitchen of the Mermaid, while the prisoner was there, had disappeared, and inquiries having been set on foot, the prisoner was charged with the theft. The candle stick in question was one of a very common shape, and the prosecutor's only reason for believing it to be his property was, that it matched the one that was left be hind. The prisoner cross-examined most of the witnesses at great length, but at the same time with a tact and per tinence which evinced an intimate acquaintance, how• ever gained, with the mode in which a defence is usually conducted. Some of the witnesses she bullied, desiring them not to " keep the gentlemen waiting, but to answer her questions at once, as she was tired of the case," and insisting on their repeat in g the ninth commandment ; others, whose testimony she hoped would be more favour able to her she soothed and flattered by saying that she was sure they would give . conscientious evidence, a n d was particularly careful in calling the " Ma'am," or "Sir," as the ease might be. Others, again, whose tes timony was immaterial, she dismissed with a triumphant toss of the head, told them she had "no question," and informed them that they might ". stand down." When the case for the prosecution was closed, she was told that she might say anything which she pleased in her d e f e nce, and, accordingly, advancing to that part of the dock nearest to the jury, she addressed them as nearly as possible in the following terms:— " Gentlemen of the Jury—There is no individual who can be in a more awkward position than a prisoner at the bar—without friends to assist her, without counsel to plead for her, miles from home, and left to the mercy of witnessesswh whose Observe, G enee e s nt a l r e e mel a l s , e h la o s w ticasapai of spring guns. - contradic tory are the statements made by the servant girl and the owner of the candlestick. She says she did not miss it till the Saturday afternoon. The owner comes forward and swears that he missed it two hours after I had left the place—a wide difference here, Gentlemen. Might not some one else have come in and taken it away ? We have many instances of men being obliged to leave their wives and children, and being sent to foreign islands, upon evidence like that given by these witnesses, when years afterwards the real perpetrator of the crime - has been brought to stiffer the last punfshigeit of the law. What is that done by but by false swearing and false evidence that such persons were there, and such property was afterwards gone ? .No one, Gentlemen, can describe the feelings of one who stands at the bar arraigned, tearing open afresh the wounds which have already bled for their misfortunes. It is not . 'before a respectable community like this that I doubt justice being given to me, but if the examination (before the magistrates, when she was committed) had been con ducted properly, I should not have been brought here. The.expert hand of a ready writer, the clerk of the Court, took care that there should be no flaw in the in dictment against me. I am miles away from home ; and if you had been locked tip in one of their solitary cells as I have been, without seeing any person but th© one who brought you the scanty pittance afforded, you would not have a friend to assist you. By your verdict— (Here the prisoner began to sob, and paused to ee what effect her eloquence had on the jury)—l may be sent back to those solitary and dismal cells, there, perhaps, to remain during the whole inclement season of the winter, where the silence that reigns, and the tears that fall, are enough to melt the very flags on which ono stands. Perhaps, Gentlemen, some of you may be brought to that. You may be overtaken by misfortune, and yielding to temptation, perhaps to drink, the greatest teml tation of all, you may not be able to pay the fine imposed upon you, and you may be dragged to gaol. It is strange, more than passing strange, to think that the just laws of the land should be so rnueh strained. The witnesses against me are not infallible, and by the laws of God and man I demand a favourable :erdict. This really clever speech having been concluded, Lord Chief Justice TINDAL summed up the evidence, observing that he did not know that the prisoner had any occasion to regret that she had not the assistance of any other person, as she had shown a great deal of dexterity in conducting her own case. There were only two questions for the jury to decide—first, whether they were satisfied as to the identity of the property; and next, whether they were equally satisfied with the evi dence as to the identity of the prisoner. The jury turned round fur a second or two, and found the prisoner Guilty. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said that the prisoner had been found guilty of the offence with which she had been charged, upon evidence which left no doubt whatever on his mind that she had stolen the candlestick ; and the sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that she should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour fur twelve calendar months. EXECUTION OF A MURDERER. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 7.-- The awful sentence of the law upon William Saville, aged 29, for the- murder of his wife and three children at Colwick, received this morning its fearful consumma tion at the drop erected in front of the County-hall. The crowd on the occasion was unprecedentedly large, and, in consequence, a most shocking accident occurred. The place Where the execution took place is in a street called High Pavement, between 20 and 30 feet wide, and at the distance of about 100 yards is an avenue, called Garner's-hill, a very steep descent, with five or six steps at the top. As soon as the drop fell, the crowd rushed violently along High Pavement, and hurled a number of persons down the steps. Eight were taken up dead from suffocation, four have died since, and a large num ber of others are seriously injured. The offence fur which the prisoner has suffered the dreadful penalty was one of unexampled horror and atrocity. The full particulars having already appeared in The Sun, it will not be necessary again to detail the circumstances of the case ; but it will suffice merely to state, that the prisoner having attempted to form an adulterous connexion with another young woman, was dismissed by her as soon as she knew that he had already a wife and family ; and that, in order to rid himself of the obstacle to the successful prosecution of his suit, he decoyed his unfortunate victims into a wood at Colwick, and cut their throats, placing the bloody razor in his wife's hand, to induce the belief that she had slain her offspring and then committed suicide. This device, however, proved unsuccessful ; and, suspicion having alighted upon Saville, he was apprehended, tried, convicted, and condemned to be hanged for the crime. The prisoner's conduct during the whole affair has been characterised by a total want of feeling, and by an appearance of indifference which he maintained with a wonderful uniformity. It is said, that after leaving the dock he observed a number of persons on the way to his cell, to whom he telegraphed his fate by pointing to his neck, and by giving an expressive shrug. Since then he has attempted to feign madness, but, as little attention was paid to him, he soon left it off, and evinced a better frame of mind in a serious appli cation to the religious instructions of the chaplain, the Rev. 'S. Butler, who has been unremitting in his atten tion to the prisoner. On Sunday he expressed a wish to speak with a magistrate, and was accordingly visited by Mr. T. Nixon, of Nuthall, to whom he stated that he first intended to tie his wife and children together and drown them in the Trent at Colwick Weir, but that he relin quished his purpose, because he feared he should be seen byTersons fishing in the neighbourhood ; that when he entered Colwick Wood, he had no settled plan, and that while there he quarrelled with his wife by telling her that he believed she was pregnant in consequence of in tercourse with another man ; that he left her in'a great passion, but that before he had gone many yards he heard her call two of the children, one after the other, to her, and the third say, " Don't do me so, mother." Ile im mediately suspected something was amiss, and ran up to the spot. where he found the babes with their throats cut. lie then cried out, "I)—n you, you b—, I'll serve you the same," and murdered her. Ile also said that he t sok the razor with which he committed the bloody deed and cleaned it, and that the instrument found in his wife's hand was an old one, which she kept to cut her corns with. The night before his execution he appeared to be in good spirits, and his hardihood seemed to be little re duced. Next morning he was called up, by his own de sire, at five o'clock, and listened with great earnestness to the advice of the chaplain until seven o'clock, when he was brought into the grand jury room to be pinioned. The usual prayers having been offered up by the chap lain, he was pinioned by the hangman and his assistants. The Rev. Mr. Butler then (said to the persons present, " The prisoner acknowledges the justice of his sentence, and deeires your prayers." Other devotions were then gone through, and at a few minutes - before eight o'clock (the hour appointed for the execution) he inquired with great earnestness, " Is it time ?" Shortly after the governor of the gaol asked him if he was ready. The prisoner answered, " Yes," and rose with great alacrity to take his place in the mournful procession to the gallows. On reaching the drop he was greeted with the groans and execrations of the large mob assembled in front of the county gaol. The prisoner, however, stood quite firm, the ropo was ad justed with unusual quickness, the bolt was withdrawn, the murderer gave a few convulsive throes, and in a short time, life was extinct. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down. It presented no particular appearance, except that an expression of great serenity, almost amounting to a smile, reigned upon his features. (From a Correspondent). NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-William Sa ville, the murderer of his wife and three children, was executed in front of our county ball, this morning. The crowd was so unprecedently great that fourteen persons were literally trampled to death, and upwards of forty others very severe] j injured. The crush in front 'of the scaffold was most terrific. Another Correspondent says—" Fifteen persons were killed by being trampled on and smothered ! Sixteen inure were taken to the infirmary, some of them not expected to recover. Amongst the lives lost was a woman with a child in her arms." MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.
