RON VIE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The conduct of the Admiralty in the case of Lieutenant Gray, tried last week by a court-martial, at the instance of the French Government, for boarding and searching a French slaver, without an Admiralty warrant for that purpose, has induced considerable sur prise, mingled with disapprobation, throughout both branches of the service. The nature of the charges which Lieutenant Gray was called upon to answer ; the evidence adduced in their support ; and the deciSion of the Court upon the case—have also been freely can vassed in all circles. The general opinion is, that the proceedings taken against Lieutenant Gray are calcu lated to embarrass our officers when employed on such service as that on which that gallant officer was engaged at the time when the alleged disobe dience of orders was committed. Nor does the Bri tish Government appear, by its conduct in the tram action, to have sustained the honour and indepen dence of the British flag. A truckling to French dic tation—a disposition to gratify the incendiary ravings of the anti-British faction, which is endeavouring to rouse public feeling in France into a cry for a war with England—is recognised in this surrender of a British officer for trial, on such charges as those which were preferred against Lieutenant Gray. The extraordinary kind of evidence which was admitted by the Court in support of the charge against the prisoner, and the judg ment—apparently unsupported by the evidence—have also contributed to excite sympathy for Lieut. Gray, and to fasten a large portion of condemnation on the Admiralty, and on Lord Aberdeen, as Foreign Secretary. The first charge upon which Lieutenant Gray was put upon his trial was —" For disobedience of orders on the coast of Africa, on the 4th of July, 1842, in causing the French vessel Luiz d'Albuquerque to be detained and searched, she having at the time displayed her proper colours, indi caing the nation to which she belonged, and no sufficient cause having existed for suspecting such colours to be false." The evidence proved that Lieut. Gray received special orders to watch for a slaver, the description of which was furnished to him for his guidance. A vessel (the Luiz d'Albuquerque) strongly resembling ,hat alluded to in his orders, hove in sight. He gave chase. She hoisted French colours, He came up with her—boarded her ; and, to ascertain her true character, overhauled her papers. The evidence before the court martial fully showed that there were passengers on board whose names were not inserted in the ship's papers. A further examination of the vessel exhibited food, such as is invariably used for the sustenance of slaves on their transit, and scarcely ever used for any other purpose. The searchers also discovered manacles for fastening the slaves to each other, and to the deck—the vessel had a slave-deck; and in other respects showed the kind of service in which she was engaged. But she hoisted French colours! And the boarding and searching of the Luiz d'Albuquerque was, therefore, an affront to the French nation—an insult to the French flag! Do not Brazilian slavers sometimes hoist French colours and American colours, for the manifest purpose of inducing a belief that they are protected by those flags in the vile traffic they are engaged in ? Once on board, the only mode of satisfying the officer as to what she was, and to whom she belonged, was to inspect the vessel, and examine her papers. Everything on board tended to confirm the belief that the Albuquerque was a slaver. That she was really a French vessel could only be ascertained by the search he insti tuted. The papers produced, in order to induce a belief that she was French, were manifestly fabricated. " The log was written on sheets of paper apparently done that morning " [the chase lasted twenty-four hours]. Capt. Foote, who commanded on the station to which Lieut. Gray belonged, and who was examined OR the court martial, was asked by Lieutenant Gray :—" Would you have been satisfied with my conduct if I had not examined the papers of the Luiz d'Albu querque under the circumstances ?" We beg special attention to the answer of Captain Foote :—" If I had received information that Lieutenant Gray had seen a vessel which hoisted French colours, and had not ascer tained her nationality, I should have been very highly displeased ; because I consider that the m ere di sp l ay o f a French flag may be done by the most arrant Brazilian and Portuguese slaver, to avoid capture ; and it is very frequently done on the west coast of Africa, both with the French and American flags." Evidence was also given by British officers who had been engaged in the same service, that it was the practice of British commanders to board ves sels suspected to be slavers, in order to as certain their nationality. In the teeth of evidence such as that we have epitomized, and notwithstanding the ab solutely exculpatory evidence of Captain Foute, the court-martial found that "the first charge was proved !" On the two others they acquitted the prisoner; and they sentenced him to be reprimanded, and enjoined him to be " more cautious in future !" To be sure they had one description of testimony to which we have not speci fically alluded—strong enough against the accused, in all conscience ; but not exactly the kind of evidence which courts of law, whether military or civil, have been in the habit of receiving. The court-martial which tried and convicted Lieut. Gray, and sentenced him to be reprimanded, actually received as evidence a leading article of La Presse, a French newspaper; which embodied a statement of Capt. Belle, the master of the Luiz d'Albuquerque. This statement—which, it must be admitted, emanated from a source of all others the most likely to be prejudiced, and was furnished by the individual most interested in giving an exaggerated, if not absolutely false, account of the transaction—was actually put in by the Admiralty, as a part of the proof in support of a charge against a British officer ; and it was admitted as evidence by the Court! The statement contained in the French paper is false upon the face of it. It is declared to be so by the untainted declara tion of the gallant officer whose conduct was the sub ject of inquiry. It is worth nothing —except indeed that it affords another proof of the length to which the war faction in Paris will proceed, in endeavouring to foment a hostile feeling between the two countries ; and of the pusillanimity of Lord Aberdeen. In this, as in the Otaheite affair, a show of resistance made by him to the claims, or even a disregard of the clamours, of the war party, would have intimated, in a way that would have been understood, that however much their bullyings might work upon the fears of their own government, they were treated as they deserved by that of England. STANDARD.—We understand that in consequence of the remonstrance of our Government, with reference to the violence offered to the (late) British Consul at Otaheite, in March last, by the French autho rities, a letter has been brought under the no tice of the British Ambassador at Paris, written by Mr. Pritchard upon the 7th of November, 1843. This letter, we have been informed, consists of two paragraphs, one of which contains his resignation of the consulship ; the other is a protest, in his own name, against the deposition of Queen Pomare. We learn too that Mr. Pritchard, after the cessation of his consulship, followed up his protest by several acts tend ing to inculcate the belief that the Government of Great Britain would send a flee in aid of the Otaheiteans, so that upon the appearance of her Majesty's steam-ship the Cormorant, the greatest excitement was occasioned from the expectation that she was one of .the coming fleet ; in consequence of this the captain was invited to withdraw, and Mr. Pritchard, who was arrested while on his way to the vessel, was subsequently put on board of her, upon the condition that lie should not be landed on any one of the Society Islands. We learn further that the dispatch of Captain Bruat of the 13th of March, describing and justifying the expulsion of Mr. Pritchard, appeals to the very different conduct pursued with regard to Mr. Orsmond, the reverend colleague of Mr. Pritchard, who, if we may credit Captain Bruat, not only did not join his brother missionary, but endeavoured to dissuade him from the course he was pursuing. Upon Mr. Orsmond the highest elogium is pronounced in this dispatch. Such is the tenour of the important information we have received. This new view of the affair will be seen considerably to alter its character. The original wrong committed by Admiral Dupetit Thouars, in usurping the absolute sovereignty of the island, a wrong frankly and handsomely acknow ledged by the French Government, and, as far as time and distance would permit, repaired—this original wrong remains unaltered, but the consequences flowing from that wrong may be greatly coloured by circumstances. It is obvious that if some proportion is not ob served between the first provocation and the means of retaliation resorted to, there can be scarcely any extravagance of outrage which may not be justified, or which it will be lawful to punish. Our own quarrel with China affords an example in point. We were, we think, clearly the wrong-doers in the firsunstance, but the Chinese retaliated so enormously beyond the just propor tion as to leave a heavy balance of injury in our favour, and we took care to exact it. Now, it is possible to believe that something of the kind may have arisen at Otaheite, even without giving credit to all the ex aggregations of the Siecle. And passing by this hypo thesis of disproportional retaliation, we can imagine an other, which would relieve the Government of this country from all responsibility in this matter. After the complaint of the Queen and the British inhabit ants had been remitted in form to Europe, it is plain that they were bound to rest there, as far as regarded their relations with this country. It was undoubtedly open to them to get rid of the usurped authority of their oppressors, if they could, and we should blame neither native Otaheitean nor naturalised Englishmen for making the attempt, could it be made with any prospect of success ; but though they were clearly entitled to vindicate their liberty by them selves, having applied and, as it turned out, applied in every sense successfully for the mediation of Great Britain, they had no right to shift their ground, and call for the support of Great Britain in a civil war awitinst the ,de' 'factb 9otier4nien; t cyganised c r ac t u ally waged without h e r k n O w l e d ge or. consents It is possible that Mr. Pritchard, having formally divested himself of the character of a British Consul, may have identified himself with the people among whom he had so long enjoyed hospitality and kindness ; and, adopting may have gone f ur th er th an , as a itch , sn t he goyernmont, LA this lie wo u ld ought to do in hostility t o th e d e facto, thoughf ee ] i usurping,, do no more than any honourable, warm-hearted man might be expected to do, though more, certainly, than any regular Government of our age could support him in doing. There see ms t o b e somet hi ng ano malous in allowing to a de facto Government, founded in wrong, any rights ; but still experience has shown, in the manifold evils of private war, that it is, on the whole, conducive to the safety and happiness of the human race to allow to even a merely de facto government such a pre sumption of right as shall protect it from being irregularly attacked by other governments, and to prevent other governments throwing their shield over those who irr egu l ar l y attack it. We carry the principle even lower than the case o f govern ments ; we carryit down to individuals. Suppose a ship attacked in the Channel by another bearing, say the flag of France. The owner of the ship attacked carries his complaint to Downing-street, whence it is duly r em i tte d to P ar i s, and a just reparation is made. But suppose the owner of the injured ship " to take," as we say, " the law into his own hands," and . upon the next opportun i ty to get foul of his late assailant, and again to get the worst of it, the British Government would certainly give him no help in the quarrel now of his own seeking. If the case of Mr. Pritchard's conduct at Otaheite has been similar to the case last supposed, we do not see why it must not be governed by the same principle ? We do not pretend to say that Mr. Pritchard has been movin g a private war against the de facto government at Otaheite; but, if he has been doing so, much as we may admire his generosity and courage, we cannot honour his prudence, or give him great credit for a care for the interests of his native country. We must say one word, too, for the members of the• de facto government in the Society Islands. In March that government must have believed that they were exercising legitimately an authority deri ve d f r o m their Sovereign ; they are, therefore, scarcely to be blamed, if they vindicated that authority without any unnecessary violence or cruelty ; and if they found Mr. Pritchard, who was no longer a consul, excitin g a b a d f ee li ng against their government, it was their right, as well as their duty, to deport him. The original wrong-doer in such cases is commonly the only wrong-doer, for they who derive from him a de facto authority which they are taught to believe also an a u th or ity d e j ure , must, ust, to the best of their judgment, act upon that au thority. We say this much in justice to all parties, for as to the affair itself, we think it cannot possibly end in anything serious. Such misunderstandings must be ex pected to be constantly arising, but it is only when they occur between ill-disposed or extremely silly persons, that there can be any difficulty in accommodating them satisfactorily. out food. She had not been dead less than two hours. nor more than four, when I saw her at half-past eleven, The prisoner Could not have been 'nue than an hour in the state I saw him. Mr. Taylor gave similar testimony. Sarah Richardson—l live in the Castle-garth, in New castle. I knew the deceased. She was not at my house on the morning of the 14th. Cross-examined--I knew the deceased, from her coming to my house for firewood. I was never at the house in Blandford-street. I never sold any whisky for her. I did not know she made whisky. I sell firewood. My husband is a labouring man. Thomas Jenkins—l am a policeman. I went to the house with Mr. Little, about half-past eleven. Dr. Carr was there. I made a bed for the prisoner in the corner next the fire. I went into the closet to get the clothes. The things Were disturbed. The clothes were all off together at one side, as if they had been slept in that night. There was a jug on a low table beside the prisoner. It contained about a pint of whisky. There was a little fire in the grate, but it was not perceptible until I began to stir it, when the doctor told me to make a fire. Two razor blades dropped out. I got a light and went into the back room. I found a still, and wash working in a barrel. There were about two or three quarts of whisky in a jar. The prisoner had two coats, two waistcoats, trousers, and shoes. His hat was lying at one side. _There was tt - small bottle of whisky in his coat pocket. Cross-examined—The clothes were off the bed, as if they had been thrown on one side by some one getting up. There was a hand. brush lying near the deceased. It was about a yard off: It appeared to have been worn a little. There was some blood on it. It was lying among the blood. Ralph Little, inspector of police, gave similar testi mony to that of the last witness. A towel, some pieces of soap, and other articles were found on the prisoner. The prisoner came to his senses at four o'elcck in the afternoon. He looked at me and said, " Little, I know you, take my defence now." We were raising him up to keep him from sleeping, and he said, " Let me lie, for my days are numbered." I found a key hanging on a nail inside the door, which opens the lock. The day after I examined the prisoner's dress. He had his top coat on. There was vomit on it, and apparently marks of blood. I took his shirt off. There was a good deal of blood on the left wrist. Edward Latimer proved that the window was fastened in the inside. Mr. WILKINS addressed the jury for the defence, con tending that the facts of the case showed that this was in all human possibility a case not of murder, but of man slaughter. He could not deny that this unfortunate woman had come by her death at the hand of the pri soner at the bar ; but if they should think that the un fortunate blow was struck by the man without premedi tation in the course of the scuffle provoked by her, in which she was the assailant, and in the courso of which she had by her taunts continued to irritate him to mad ness, it would be manslaughter only. He submitted that all the facts bore out this view of the case. His conduct as contrasted with her's the evening before—the, time at which the unfortunate woman came by her death —the instrument which had been employed, and which, as the counsel for the prosecution had stated, the pri soner was in the daily habit of using about that hour — the hand brush lying on the ground near the hand of the deceased, all tended to show that the husband bad in the morning been again assailed with violence and abuse at a time when he had the razor in his hand, and that in a moment of passion, arising from this violence, the fatal blow was struck, which deprived the unfortunate woman of her life. His LORDSHIP summed up. The rule of law was that when one person was wilfully the cause of the death of ano ther, he was prima facie chargeable with murder. If, how ever, the death arises from a blow struck in a conflict com menced without any such intention, and where the party inflicting the blow has been the object of personal violence, in some cases it may be manslaughter. It is, not, how ever, every amount of assault which would reduce the crime to manslaughter. An attack of a grievous cha racter, followed by instant retaliation, producing death, would frequently be of this kind, but in every case the nature of the attack, if any; and the nature of the re taliation must be taken into consideration. The offence would still be murder, if a, slight attack were res en t e d with a murderous weapon, • such as would probably, in the lc.n:;4: . ledge of the party using it, produce death. No mere wads would be sufficient provocation ; but, if there was any conflict whatever, the language accompanying it, if of a highly irritating character, and such as would naturally excite a man's anger as much as the most grievous assault, might very properly be taken into con sideration. The great question which they had now to consider was, whether they were satisfied that anything occurred on that morning which would bring the present case within the scope of the principles so laid down, and reduce the offence from the higher to the lower class. His Lordship then went through the evidence with great care and minuteness. _ _ The jury remained in consultation upwards of six hours, and finally returned a verdict of Guilty of murder. Sentence was passed on the prisoner in the usual form. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, Aug. 1. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN and a Special Jury.) SEDUCTION.—KEISH V. HAWKE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a farmer, residing at Melluish, in this county, against the defend ant, to recover compensation for the seduction of his (the plaintiff's) daughter. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Butt were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Greenwood appeared for the defendant. Mr. CRO WDER having stated the case to the jury, called the young lady who had been seduced by the de . fondant. She stated that her father was a farmer, re siding at Melluish ; that she had three sisters, two older than herself, who were living in gentlemen's families, and one younger, living at home. In 1841 she went to live with the defendant ( w h o was a w id ower ) , i n t h e capacity of housekeeper. It was her duty to look after the house generally, and direct the other servants kept by the defendant. She took her meals with him, and was present in the parlour when he had company. At the time that she went there, a young man by the name of Fowell kept company with her, and used, once now and then, to come and see her. About three months after she entered the defendant's service, he commenced paying attentions to her. He first began by requesting her to dismiss her suitor, Fowell, which she did. He then grew more bold and warm, and assured her that he had never seen any one since the death of his wife that he liked as much as herself, and offered to make her his wife. She, in reply, made objections, on account of his family, who, she said, would not be willing, and because she had no fortune. He said he did not care for that, for that he had enough for them both. After this his attentions continued, and she considered herself engaged to him. She used to sit up with him at night, after the other servant s were gone t o b e d, an d f or a time nothing could be mere proper or respectful than hia conduct. She was accustomed to take hot water to his room. One morning, when she did this, he be haved very rudely to her. He did not, however, succeed in his wishes, but she got away from him, and went into her own room, where she sat crying. After a short time the defendant came in there, asked her to forgive him, and promised the offence should never be repeated. At first she said she would not forgive it, but would commu nicate the circumstance to her parents ; but the contri tion expressed by the defendant altered her purpose, and she relented. She then went down stairs and made him his breakfast, after which he left, as he was going out for the day. For some time after this his conduct was quite proper, and her confidence in him was revived. Things went on in this way for more than a month, when one night she was awakened, about one o'clock, by finding some one's arm round her neck. It was the de fendant. He took the bed-clothes in one hand and pressed upon her mouth, and, notwithstanding resist ance on her part, he succeeded in obtaining possession of her person. In the morning she was dreadfully dis tressed ; but defendant told her not to be so, for that he would not lose her for all the lands which he possessed. After this their intimacy continued, and she found her self in the family way. This she communicated to the defendant, who told her that it was not so. She repeated the same thing to him again, when he re quested her to go to a Mr. Moon, a surgeon, and say she had taken a bad cold, and request hitn to give her some medicine, This she did, and had some medicine, which did her neither harm nor good. After this defendant wanted her to take something to get rid of the child, as he said people would jeer them if she had a child before they were married. She re fused to do so. After some time a Mrs. Clements, the defendant's sister, came to the house. Before this de fendant had wished her (the plaintiff's daughter) to leave, saying that her sister had heard that she was in the family way, and that she wished to persuade her to the contrary. She refused to go. Mrs. Clements then came. By the direction of the defendant she told Mrs. Clements she was not in the family way, and offered to go to a surgeon and be examined. Mrs. Clements said she could not stay there, and she must leave, which she accordingly did that day. This was in May. On going home she told her parents what had happened. The sante evening they and herself went to defendant's, and saw him and Mrs. Clements, his sister. He then denied that he had ever promised to marry her, and Mrs. Cle ments asked her if he (the defendant) had ever done so. She fearing, if she said ho had, that it would set him against her, said that he had not. Her wages were then paid, and she and her parents returned to their house. She afterwards wrote a letter to the defendant, to which she received no answer. Two more were written with the like effect. On the 22d of May, 18 4 3, she met him in a lane riding on a horse and c arrying a gun. She de sired him to stop, on which he 'flung up his arms and out, Be off ;" hearing this, she took hold of the bridle of his horse, on which be struck her arms with his gun and rode off. Subsequently, on the 17th of August, she was confined of a female child, the expense of which was borne by her father, with whom she no w lived, and by whom she had been maintained ever since she quitted defendant's service. This witness was then crospexamined at great length by Mr. Cockburn, for the purpose of showing that she had kept company with other men. She, however, denied all this, and, with a very few slight variations, which rather told in her favour, stuck to the account she had given in her examination in chief. In the course of this cross-examination, it came out that after the child had been born, she had met the defendant, and that she had then supplicated him to make provision fur her child. He was riding on horseback, and refusing to hear her, curvetted the horse about, the animal being a very vicious creature. She had her child in her right arm, and a small stick in her left hand, which she flung at the horse to keep him from her child. The defendant immediately summoned her before some magistrate in the neighbourhood, swore he was afraid she would do him some bodily harm, and she was thereupon com pelled to enter into her recognizance to keep the peace towards him. In the end a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, with damages 75/. Mr. Justice Wightman after this took the several criminal cases that remained for trial, by which the busi ness was got through to-day. CROWN SIDE.—FRIDAY.. MIIRDER.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-11fatikew Weeks, was indicted for the wilful murder of Charlotte Dimond, on the 14th of April kit, by cutting her throat, It "is impossible to,describe the excitement occasioned by this trial. At au early hour the court-yard was crowded with persons who appeared to have come from all parts of the county, and during the day the Court was completely crammed. Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Oxenham, and M r . R owe con ducted the case f or the prosecution, and Mr. Slade de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner and Charlotte Dimond were fellow-servants in the house of a Mr. Peters, a small farmer, residing at Penhale. Charlotte Dimond was a young woman 18 years of age, an illegitimate child with " but few friends ;" but she and the prisoner had for some time kept company, as it is called in thi s coun ty : the girl, however, it would seem, was pleased with ad miration, and was not insensible to the attentions of others, and a person of the name of Prout had been favoured by her. On the morning of Sunday, the 14th of April last, Prout called at the house of Mrs. Peters, and saw Charlotte, and appointed to meet her that even ing at chapel. The prisoner and the deceased came down stairs together that morning. Mrs. Peters asked her where she was going : she at first made no answer, but then said she should not be at home at milking time, but that Matty (the prisoner) would milk her share of the cows. She and the prisoner then went away toge ther. She was dressed in a dark green striped gown and red diamond shawl, and a dark brown silk bonnet, with light ribands, and had pattens ; and she had a black silk bag, trimmed with lace, on her arm, and wore cotton gloves. The prisoner had on a dark velvet frock coat, grey trousers, and his best boots. It was dirty, rainy weather. The prisoner came home alone, about half-past nine o'clock in the evening ; but the girl never came back again. Mrs. Pet ers as k e d hi m where Charlotte w as ? He said he did not know. He then had his supper, pulled off his boots, and went to bed. The next morning Mrs. Peters again asked him where Charlotte was, and he again re plied he did not know. She went up into his room and found his best stockings dirty up to the garterings. She asked him how they got so dirty. He said the weather and roads were dirty. She said, " Where is Charlotte ? as you went away together, where did you go ?" He said he went no further with her than Higherdown-gate, and he believed she went on the moor, and he went to a village about two miles off, and called on two families of the name of Westlake ; but that they were not at home. On Tuesday Mrs. Peters said, " Alatty. you must know where Charlotte is, and if you don't tell me, I'll go to a magistrate before I sleep." He then said, "To tell you the truth, she's gone to Blissland, as Mrs. Langstone has got an easier place than yours." Mrs. Peters told him it was his fault, as she had never given her any offence, and she asked him how she could have got there after four o'clock. He said she was going to Mrs. Spiers the first night. Mrs. Peters said to him, "You jealous thing : it was your work to put away the maid ; and men be as plenty down there as they be at home with we." On the Wednesday morning she again spoke to him about Charlotte ; he said, she had a letter from Mrs. Langstone to go to Blissland. On the Friday the butcher came there to kill a pig. The prisoner asked to be allowed to kill it. He took a knife and put it to the throat of the pig ; but then he stopped, and said some thing had given him a turn. He then took another knife, and plunged it violently into the pig. Daring the week many persons had spoken to the prisoner about the girl ; but he said he had parted with her at Higher down-gate. lie was then told that persons had seen him on the moor ; but he said they could not swear to him, as they had not spoken to him. On the Saturday evening Mrs. Peters said to him, " Many, what's the talk about Charlotte—l hope it is not true ?" He did not speak, but went to another part of the kitchen. She then said, " Matty, I'm quite frighte ne d ; an d, if you have hurt the girl, you ought to be hanged in chains." He did not answer. Her son and other servant then went to bed. She said to the prisoner, " Matty, you stop, I want to talk with you. I'm very much hurt about this talk." lie made no answer, but went off to bed. The next morning (Sunday) he went out as usual to attend the cows in his everyday dress. He saw Mrs. Peters having a conversation with her son and another person, and he saw them go from home. He then went up stairs, dressed himself in his Sunday clothes, and came down stairs, having his umbrella in his hand, althouge it was a very fine day. Mrs. Peters said to him, " I hope you'll be back to dinner." He said he would. He then went away, but did not return. He had been in the habit of keeping Charlotte's best clothes in his box; but a green gauze handkerchief was not with them, and therefore she must have had that with her when she went out on the Sunday, and this was found in the prisoner's velvet jacket pocket after he had left the house. Suspicion now had become very rife, and in quiries were made, and it was found that the girl had never been seen since she was in the company of the prisoner. A person of the name of Corry had . seen the prisoner and a young woman in a dark dress go into the moor on the Sunday afternoon. The prisoner limped very much in his walk. lie watched them for about a quarter of an hour. Richard Pethick, a farmer, who was on the moor between five and six o'clock on the Sunday afternoon, saw a man and woman coming towards the Roughter-ford. They came within 300 yards of him, and then returned and went another way. He after wards returned and saw them again, they were thirty nine yards from him. He could distinguish the man's features and he limped. They appeared to be loiterin . g. Sometimes they were close together, and so me ti m es she d w r a e l s k s e . d a n ny from e ss batehed lim tihem. for T h woman ur, had on a dark and wassurethe prisoner was the man. They were about 100 yards from Roughter-ford A person of the name of Gard, a local prencher, was coming across the moor, and saw a man land woman loitering near the ford; they had both dark clothes on. This information having been received, foul play was more than suspected, and it was deter mined that the moor should be searched. Accordingly parties went out in different directions, for that pur pose. They soon found some marks of pattens and the impression of a man's shoe. They traced these a con siderable way across the moor until they lost the patten marks. They, however, proceeded on their way un til they came to Roughter-ford, where in a wild spot, on this desolate moor, a long way from any human habita tion, in an old watercourse, they found the body of the poor girl lying on its back with the throat cut in the most frightful manner, the wound extending from the back of the neck under the left ear round to the right ear. The carotid artery and windpipe were com pletely divided. Indeed, the head was all but cut off. A portion of the clothes was gone. There was no bon net, shawl, pattens, or shoes. Further search was then made, and about half-a-mile off, in a turf-pit, covered over, the parties found her shawl, bonnet, pattens, and shoes. It was now evident that the poor girl hP.',l come to ber death by violent means ; and inquiries were made about the prisoner. He had not returned ; but it was found that he had called at a house many miles off, on the road to Plymouth, on the Sunday when he left Mrs. Peters, and he had there shown a black silk bag, which corresponded exactly with the one Charlotte Dimond had on the 14th of April. He withvvas then traced his brother and sister t o h a o, thend wase i g Hoe there.fdoun taken intocusiodYiaa - in his pockets were found the gloves which Charlottee had worn on the last day she was seen alive. The prisoner's boots were compared with the tracks on the moor, and particularly with one adjoining the spot where the doilies were found, and they corresponded exactly. The girl's necklace was found on a bank close to the body. No blood was found on the prisoner's clothes. . the On the part of the prisoner it was urged that it was impossible but the person who committed the m ur d er must have not any on Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up in the m os t careful the een clothescov ere of d wthiethblood, whereas there was prisoner. jurym anntehrataintdwwasiththtehedusttyricotfesttheimyuadrgtiealtiotyl,a3t,edlloirvsign the law, and for the jury to decide upon the facts in ac cordance with that law, without any consideration as to the punishment or the consequen ces t h at would follow from the verdict they might gi ve .

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the saute manner as if he hail paid the whole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example —a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying '2/. Os. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to pay 1/. 3s. only during the -first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 1/. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain Is the only Mutual Assurance society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years.

Mark Sherwood, a grey-haired man above the middle age, and whose face bore traces of habitual indulgence in spirituous liquors, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Ann Sherwood, on the 14th of March last, by cutting her throat. Mr. Ingham and Mr. Unthank conducted the prosecu tion ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Wilkins. Mr. INcrram stated the case, and proceeded to call the witnesses. Ann Sutherland--I lived at Oakwell-gate, in Gates head, at the time of this occurrence. The deceased was my mother's sister. On the 14th March she and the prisoner lived in Bradford- street. I was at the house about seven o'clock in the evening'of the 13th. When I knocked my aunt came to the door. I went into the kitchen in the front room. I found no one in the room but my aunt. I asked if she had heard any word about her husband. She said yes, she had heard he was in the town. She said he was in the closet, and she told him to come out. He came out and shook hands with me. He said something about forgiving, but Ido not know to whom he applied the word. She upbraided him about selling a waistcoat and a pair of shoes. I told her not to mind, he would get his waistcoat back again. He said he would. She said it would be like all the rest of his gettings. He said he had got 3s. for it, and had made a bargain to get it back again for the same money. He said if she would give him Os. he would go out and not come back again that night. She said if she gave it he would only drink it, and come in to her again. She said, " You know what you made me swear upon the Bible to-day, what you was going to do to me." I asked her what it was. She said she could not tell me what it was. She said she could not tell me or any one what it was, but she was glad I had come to see her living. She then drew her hand once or twice across her throat. He then asked her7to let him stop till six in the morning, and then he would go to Gateshead and look for work, and not trouble her any more. I asked her to let him stop. He came round the table, took me by both the hands, and going on his knees, said, God would bless me if I was a mediater of peace that night. He said he had a blister on his foot, and asked me to feel it. but I said, " Oh, yes," as I wished her to let him stop. I then went out, and bid them good night. I came the next morning a little after eight. I rapped at the door several times, and called out. The prisoner ran up the steps to the door and said, " Who are you ?" I asked for my aunt, and he sa id s h e had gone out to Gobbys, a woman called Richardson. He said she had got the key with her. I told him to tell my aunt I had been there, and would come back again. He said, " Yes, yes," quick, in his usual way. He went d own the stairs steadily, for I listened at the door. I went to Mrs. Richardson, and my aunt was not there. I went back to my aunt's about eleven. I went to the door and it was fast. I rapped , and received no answer. I went to Mrs. Ormiston's and asked for my aunt. I borrowed a key from Mary Or miston, and opened the door. I went down the stairs. I saw my aunt lying on the floor with her hand stretched out, and I ran off directly to Mrs. Ormiston's and fell at their door.

I ran down the stairs intothe prisoner's house. I saw the deceased lying on her right side, with her throat lying cut. The prisoner was on his face with his great co at on. His hat had fallen off. I knew the deceased only to speak to Mary Ormiston. Gave an account of the room similar to that giventhe last witness. The deceased used to come for milk by lkto the house of witness's mother, usually between seven and eight. She did not come that morning. John Ormiston, brother to the last witness, stated that the prisoner and deceased rented the room they occupied from his father; they had there two years and a half. I heard the alarm on been the morning of the 14th. I ran down stairs, and the first thing I saw was the de ceased. Her throat was cut the left side, and her head lying over to the other e s?de. There was a great deal of blood where she lay. I saw no blood anywhere else. About eight days after I piece of soap all bloody.

The trial of William Beard for the murder of Ann Griffiths, at Wednesbury, was resumed this morning at nine o'clock, and lasted till half-past six o'clock in the evening, when the jury retired to consider their verdict, which has not yet been returned. - Mr. Yardley and Mr. Huddleston appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and the prisoner's defence was con ducted by Mr. Allen and Mr. Spooner. The deceased Ann Griffiths lived at Wednesbury in the capacity of housekeeper to a gentleman named Crowther, reputed in the neighbourhood to be a person of considerable wealth, and, as he himself admitted, a man who is " above the frowns of the world." The pri soner had lived in Mr. Crowther's service from Decem ber, 1841, till September, 1842, and during the time that he was in his employ he used to go regularly on Wednes days and Saturdays with " slack" to some works belong ing to Mr. Crowther, whose habit it was on Saturdays to leave home about ten o'clock, for the purpose of going to the pits and paying his men. 'On the morning of Satur day, the 16th of March last, Mr. Crowther's servant left the house, about ten minutes past nine o'clock, for the purpose of drawing slack to his master's colliery, and in about 20 minutes afterwards Mr: Crowther himself went out, leaving Ann Griffiths alone in the house, and pro-' ceeded to his pits. About a quarter past 10 o'clock a master named Emery, whose malthouse is about SO yards from the wall adjoining Mr. Crowther's brew house, heard a scream come from Mr. Crowther's house and a second in about half a minute afterwards, but he seemed to have thought that there was nothing in the screams which called for particular attention, and ho • took no further notice of the matter at the time. About the same time, but probably a few minutes later, a person in the employ of Mr. Crowther's butcher took some meat - to the house, and went, vvusual, t o • th e rik a4 doorc but found it fast 40.then,iyentiltyabe liitehre v tviatiNi teahiritehen door, but i.'hat was fast also ; and not able to gain admittance he rang the hall bell, and went into an outhouse to take shelter, as there was a heavy fall of rain and snow. While he was in the outhouse he heard a door slam within the house, and he went again and tried the door, and also rang the bell, but nobody answered. Accordingly he went away, but returned again about 12 o'clock, and tried as before to obtain ad mittance, but without success. At a quarter to two o'clock Mr. Crowther returned home, and finding that the bell at the front door was not answered, he went round the house through a wicket to a glass door which opens upon what was called a " lawn," but which would have been more correctly described as a broad gravel walk planted with shrubs. The glass door was half open, and Mr. Crowther entered the house by that way. Upon going into the dining-room he found the fire out, and proceeding t o the kitchen he • found the fire very low there, and remarked that the kitchen-door, the pantry-door, and the cellar-door were all wide open. Mr. Crowther then went up to the room occupied by the deceased, to see if she was there, and aboutwass u rt the e r i s r e e d e in t . o fi u n the b He then wente bed unmade, down againan her into boxesthe kitchen, and thence into the brew-house, where the first object that met his eyes was the murdered body of his housekeeper. The unfortunate woman lay on the floor, which was covered with blood, and which appeared to have been trampled all about the brew-house. Her hair was very much dishevelled, and had blood upon it, and a bloody knife lay at a very short distance from the body. At least ten wounds had been inflicted on her head with a hammer, which was usually kept in the brew-house, and there were other circumstances which led to the conclusion that she had offered some resist ance to the savage, whoever it was, who perpetrated this dreadful deed. The yard-door was locked, and there was blood upon the bolt ; blood was also sprinkled upon the brickwork adjoining the door-frame, and there were marks of a man's bloody hand upon a shovel near the water-tub, and upon the handle of one of the pumps in the yard, as if the murderer had sought for means to efface the crimson evidences of his guilt. In Mr. Crow ther's bed-room up stairs some trunks had been removed and opened ; a small fruirpie, which had been left in the pantry, in the morning was eaten, and about three pounds of a neck of mutton, which was cooked, had been taken away. It was discovered, also, on the following day, that a pair of trousers and a waistcoat which Mr. Crowther usually wore on Sundays had been removed. The waistcoat and the trousers were found on the Fri dayfollowing the murder in a flue in a whimsey, wrapped up in a plaid handkerchief ; and it was shown that the prisoner was seen on the day of the murder, about 11 o'clock, going in the direction of the whimsey, close to which was found, on the Friday, the print of a single footmark, made with the right foot, which resembled, according to the best of Mr..l.latton's (the chief con stable's) recollection, the footmark made by the pri soner's right boot, which together with its fellow, had been taken from him when he was apprehended on the morning of Sunday, the 17th of Marcia. The strongest part of the evidence against the prisoner consisted in the footmarks, which were tracked immediately after the discovery of the murder. From the glass door which opened upon the broad gravel path, or lawn, there were marks leadieg to the bottom of the .lawn, as if a man had run down on his heels ; and in a ploughed field, which was separated from the lawn by a hedge,, were upwards of 40 footmarks, very distinct, made by rights and lefts. The left footmark showed a large patch on the sole, some of the nails in the patch being smaller than those in the other part of the foot, the impression of which corresponded exactly with that produced by the prisoner's left boot, in respect of the number of nails, their size, the vacant places left where some had been worn out, and the mark of the patch. These footmarks led all down the field into a lane called Riding-lane, and root-prints similar in character to those in the field, but not near so distinct, were traced along the road which. the prisoner was supposed to have gone, as far as the canal. He was, moreover, seen between eleven and half past twelve o'clock on the morning of the Saturday at different points between the canal and the Board public house, when at half-past twelve o'clock he was found, by a person who knew him, smoking his pipe in the kitchen. The Board Inn is not a quarter of a mile from Mr. Crow ther's house ; and the suggestion offered on the part of the prosecution to account for the prisoner's coming so near Mr. Crowther's house was, that, having committed the murder, he had made a long detour to avoid detec tion, in the first instance, and had then come near the s s u ce s n p e ic o io f n. his A er t im th e n a t g t a im in e f , o i r le t ‘ h v e ev e e x r p , r he essmpunrsptohsnevoe known, flu n l e li w ng s that there was blood on his jacket, on his trousers, his shirt, and his boots, because that was found to be the case when he was apprehended the next morning; and the Learned Judge left it to the jury to say, among other points, whether it was probable that a person who knew that he had just been guilty of such a crime as murder, would have incurred the risk of exposing his clothes to the observation of the company in a public house. The prisoner accounted for the blood by calling witnesses to show that his nose was in the habit of bleeding, and that on the Monday preceding the Satur day in question he had assisted in hanging up a pig which had justibeen slaughtered, and it certainly was not proved, on the part of the prosecution, that the blood stains upon his clothes, and linen were fresh. There were some minor circumstances in the case, which was made up of very minute details , which point e d at t h e prisoner as the party w h o might have committed the act; but, on the other hand, it appeared that the prisoner was in the possession of very little money on the Satur day, and that he bore a good character ; and it is a cir cumstance not to be overlooked, that while he was in the employ of Mr. Crowther, an attempt was made to rob the house by three men, which attempt was frustrated by the resistance of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence w ith great care, and told th e j ur y th a t in order to convict the prisoner it was not enough that his conduct was liable to be viewed with strong suspicion, but the facts must be such as to exclude from their minds all reasonable doubt of his guilt. It had always been said by judges, and he hoped always would be said, that it was better that nine guilty men should escape than that one inno cent man should suffer. • The jury retired, and soon after ten o'clock tame into Court and pronounced a verdict of Guilty, Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLEY then parsed sentence of death on the prisoner, who heard .t with perfect calm ness, and merely said, "My Lord, lam as innocent of the crime as you are," Thus ended Ow:a assizes. I OPENING OF THE OYSTER SEASON.---Iresterday morning, at six o'clock, the opening o f t h e market at Bil lingsgate, for the sale of oysters for the season, took place in the customary manner. The supply was very limited, as compared with the quantity b rought to shore some few years ago, but, in our opinion, quite as great as it was last season on the opening morning. A fleet of twenty-nine boats came up the river d ur i ng yesterday. There were this morn ing but few of the calleis, or common oyster, the principal cargoes, consisting of Cheyne Rock, Old Barley Natives, Barley Rocks, and Native French. The commoner kind of fish fetched from 10s. to 14s. per bushel, the intermediate qualities 145., while the best realised 16s. The demand was exceedingly slack, not more than half the stock being sold out by ten o'clock. With respect to the prospects of the season, it is the opinion of several salesmen, that the general supply will be better than that of last year, and that the quality, from the care which was throughout the last twelve months taken of the beds, will be found far superior. Prices, probably, will. not be attended with much variation. The arrangements made by G. Goldham, Esq., Clerk of the Market, for the safety of the persons of buyers and the lives and limbs of all parties, cannot be too highly estimated by the public. At llungerford Market the supply was moderate, and the de mand appeared brisker than at Billingsgate, several of the West-end fishmongers having made their purchases there. Prices the same. CROPS IN SOUTII WALES.—The farmers them selves, proverbially di s p ose d to croak a b out crops, admit that things look fairish. In some parts of Wales reap ing has begun, but it is by no means general, :ior . has the grain yet that golden hue which shows that it is ready for the sickle. The wheat harvest is sure to be good ; but that is of comparatively little consequence in South Wales, but even barley (our chief crop) is likely to be better than was expected, though deficient and very little good malting barley will be on offer, we are. sorry to say, by the farmers of this country. Pota— toes look very well, and the pastures are in a ri c h s t ate of verdure, contrasting most beautifully with the arid ap pearance which they presented a few wee k s ago. The harvest has commenced in Pembrokeshire. Since last week several fields of wheat, barley, and oats, being cut, the quality of wheat and barley, together with the quan tity is very good ; oats bei ng d e fi c i ent i n quantity, but of good quality. We have had some fine refreshing showers of late, but still there is a great scarcity of hay and grass, the fernier being burnt up.— Welshman. ` i v~
