TIRE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Rain again set in on Monday evening in many parts of the country, and continued without intermission the whole of Tuesday. On Wednesday, a brisk gale from the north-west cleared away the clouds, and in and around Derby we had fine weather up to the time of writing this (yesterday afternoon). It has been ascer tained that the late heavy rains have really greatly in jered the crops, which will not, it is thought, give an average yield, even should the weathercontinue as favour able ai one would wish.—Der by Reporter of Friday. We understand, from a source upon which we can rely, that there are considerable failures in wheat ; yet, it is hoped that the increased breadth of tillage, and the much larger quantity of stalk, will afford ahnost an average crop. The late rains have not injured the wheat so much as the unfavourableness of the weather eat the time of blossoming. A great deal was beat about that time, and became what farmers term " Keeebound," by which the sap is prevented from rasing and giving its ;nutriment to the kernel. It is hyped, notwithstanding, - that if Providence favours us wit'e fine weather, there will Ze. a fair supply up to Midsumener next. Barley and oats are a gaud crop The early potatoes have failed, but the later potatoes are lookirr very well. Harvesting has cern meneed in good earnest in Cornwall, and some small quan tities have been secure d in this neighbourhood, more par ticalariy in the vicir:rty of the rivers. We saw a consi derable quantity e - at in the neighbourhood of Saltram last week. The few days of fine weather that we have had has ee`,Ved farmers to get in a great deal of the hay that errs „er a precarious state, and it may be said to be aecarefl In telerable order. The quantity saved in fine ordet has not been large, bet the crop upon the whole Nes been a bountiful one.—Plymouth Journal. The weather, we regret to say, is still most untoward Jrt harvest purposes. On Monday from noon till, night sunshine and moderate heat prevailed; but stem then. -we have had showers, heavy rains, and almrest chilling cold. The rain ceased yesterday evening, 'out the atmo sphere continues heavy and humid.—Caledonian Mer cury. Within the past week there has been a great many changes in the weather, and yestreday one of a most unfavourable nature, and this day again presents no change for the better. The effect of the late rains, of which so much apprehension was entertained, has not been by any means so prejudicial as some per sons are anxi'ius to represent it—and we are in formed by an experienced agriculturist, who has th-:: last week .seen a good deal of the condition of the crops through this county, that they look gene wally good and productive. We have seen some snmples of new oats, grown in the neighbourhood of Midleton, the grain of which is full and hard, and, as regards the potato crop, there never was less reason to connitain. A great deal, however, will yet depend on the continuance of fair weather or otherwise, for in navay parts of the county the crops are very late, p..nel require some ripe -in;.' heat to bring them tomatv:iity.—Corh Southern leporkr. THE HARVEST.—The few finer days previous to Monday last raised hops . that the harvest might yet I .c fathered in tolerable condition, but On the. evening of that day the clouds gathered mad a deluge of rain fell the whole of the .11:g:11, continuing on Tuesday, accompanied with a strung and tempe , tunus wind- The alarm is again general. The failure of the potato crop is confirmed from all quarters. Very serious, indeed beyond an calculation, nut be the consequences, if immediate And ued dry weather do not ensue. Under any enough damage has been B, l .ready done to ro:, •-.• L . crop deficient in yield and in quality. Amidst all t.;! re is a duty of nearly 20s. per quarter on the of corn. What a taste for starvation the ..1;:. , ..t . this country must havis, to enact, or allow to be enacted, s ,- Al laws !—Kest &raid. Within tile last few days the state of the weather in this district has b-en of such a character as to nwaken serious apprehensions for the safety of the zr:ewiog crops. A large quantity of rain fell during the whole of Monday and Tuesday a'jd the greater portion of these nights, with little Itope that a period was at hand for the prevalence tjlosa sunlight and genial hours which are essentially necessary fur bringing the produce to a state of perfect maturity. On Wednesday the showers har4 ceased to fall, but a brisk wind sprung up from the west, so chill and boisterous, and with an atmosphere so cloudy and cheerless as to present few, if any, indications, that un certainty for the future was at an ens, or that, at length, we were about to enter upon a more propitious period. It is feared that the heavy crops of wheat will be further beaten down by the heavy rain and sustain very considerable injury; that, in many instances, they will he totally unable to resume their upright position ; and that the grain will be much deteriorated by the im possibiqty of its becoming well fed, or of ripening equally. This feeling has been increased by the rain occurring after t'ne comparatively fine days of the pre ceding week. It should, however, be borne in mind, that the wheat crops are yet green ; and that the injury may be possibly less than if the produce was quite. ripe for the sickle. This remark, however, does not apply to barley, which is in a more advanced state and, consequently, liable to greater injury. Some of the produce of the barley lands has been already cur, — at Wheatley, for instance, on the, farm of Sir W. B. Cooke, Bart., where harvest coramenced on Friday last by cuttiug it with the sickle ; but these operations, in consequre ce of the heavy and incessant rains, have been eto eked. We have seen several tracks of this deseription of proti.uce much lodged ; and, in some instances, the green weeds eve growing through. and binding it down to the ground. Under these circum stances, it is to be feared that the quality will be much deteriorated, and Much injury inflicted. Wednesday night was gusty', threatening, and extremely cold and cheerless. Early yesterday morning, several heavy showers again descended, with a brisk wind blowing from the west. As the day advanced, however, the wind becesine lulled ; the clouds assumed a great er alti tude; the beams of th sun occasionally struggled through, anti, on the whole, the aspect was more favourable.— Doncaster Gazet t Friday. Although Monday and Tuesday were amongst the most unfavourable days we have had in Yorkshire in prospPet of the harvest, the brisk wind of Wednesday, the lair, though not brilliant day of Thursday, and the still more favourable weather of yesterday, have effected a very faveurable change, and re-animated the public spirits. The barometer, after passing through all the changes from " Rain" to ‘. Fair" in the course of those three days, leas assumed a more settled position. Still there is ;nisch cause for apprehension. In all parts of the country the corn is a good deal beaten down,—in Sc me places irrevocably ; we hear of rust and mildew, arid - the other diseases incident to wet seasons, and in the low parts of .he country, particularly in Lincolnshire, from Wtrich we insert a very desponding letter from one of our own correspondents, the mischief is very exten sive. The barley seems to have suffered more from the rain generally than other grain. Oats are ripening, aid eeerly ready fur the sickle, but they du not ripen kitelly, aryl the wheat, which is the most important of all the g:,,thi crop, is still green, and from a fortnight to thr , 7:e weeks later than last year. The following is att ct from the Wakefi •Id corn letter of the cor re,p-fttlitt.t. week of last year (August 23) :—" Since t'lis thy ve ek the weather upon the whole has been favour l'hle for harvest operations, and the harvest is now pregfe t;‘e rapidly.

For ten miles round s tiie wheat is much blighted. Expressing doubr. ot'this fact, to one of the best farmers of the dis.• trier, lie p ,inted out to us a field on the ridge of the hill which overlooks Totnes bridge, as a specimen of the e.biidi'ion of the wheat in that neighbourhood. This field la..l , vngs to Mr. Nicholas Manning of Bramboroub ; when it was last in wheat it had more than 40 bushels an acre of the best description. This year it. will not give- fifteen bushels per acre, and not a single bushel of the .best description. We have seen specimens of wheat from Drewsteignton district, culled by two ex t,vsive c.mi-factors, yesterday, as a test of the condition of the crop. These specimens exhibit rust and blight to a slight degree. Tracheal judges have come to the conclusion that a considerable quantity of foreign wheat must be bouBht before next harvest.— Western Times. THE MOORS. The spatt,ana,e's time has never, we believe, been more active+. employed than preceding the first day of - the present grou .e shooting season, nor better prospects has he bad 'that: what he is likely to enjoy during its conti nuance. A greater number of sp or t smen h as not b een in the north than within the last few days. Several shootings, which, from their large extent and the diffi • catty existing of making up corresponding parties, are shill in the market, but if these were divided into moors of from 5,000 to 6,000 acres, we have no doubt but the whole would meet with tenants on any terms. Tuesday morning, the " twal of August," was rather unFavour4hle for the hills, but towards the afternoon the day clear-d up, so consequently our news from the hills of the number shot is not so large as at the same tune list year. Oa the 12th, Georxe Ross, Esq., of Cro m arty, bagged, on the hill of Taire 40i brace of groase,s mountain hares, and a teal dralto—ne,king in all,. 87 head o." game. Mr. R. had only gone out at a rather lac h err, and hitherto this moor was almost wholly un productive, but. owing to the attention latterly paid to the pres:rvatian of the game, it promises to become a very exc.ller,t one. Mr. Napier and Major Ogilvy, at Dounaveurd, near Pitlochrie, bagged 41i brace and three him, hares ; Alfred Baillie, Esq., eight brace, at Cultinthel ; Mr. S. Casborne. 12 brace, on :vtr.

Cknsiderable execution appears to have been done by sportsmen on our moors, on the twelfh and succeed ing days.

Dr. Eaton was home each day at four o'clock. On the 12th, Mr. Aird of Crossflat, and Mr. Samson of Kilmarnock killed 22 brace each ; and Mr. Wilson, of Chelmsford, and other gen tlemen, had excellent sport in the vicinity of Muirkirk. Throughout Ayrshire generally the shooting season opened well.—Ayr Observer. Yesterday se'nnight, grouse shooting commenced all over the country, and since then, notwithstanding the unfavourable weather ' there has been an i mmense slaughter of g ame . On the fells and other preserves in the counties of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland, grouse are pretty plentiful, the pouts being fine strong birds, but the old ones, especially the hens, are only small, and not so plump as they have been • known in former years.

Yioin the late continued wet state of the weather, tlut moors were very wet and heavy ; yet, notwithstan!:;trig this, several of them made a long day of the I P,th, but at night they were truly " weary sportsmen." Grouse are selling at from 4s. 6d. to ss. 6d. per brace,.._the supply keeps pace with the demand.— Tyne fi Arcury. C U,MB ERLAND.—The early d awn on T ues d ay morning, the. 12th instant, which was a fair one, but rather dark sad lowering, was anxiously waited for by hundreds of sportsmen on the fells and moors all Britain over, impa tient to be at work with their slaughtering guns amongst the game. On the fells and other preserves in the coun ties of Cumberland and Westmoreland, grouse are pretty plentiful, the pouts being fine strong birds, but the old ones, especially the hens, are only small, and not so plump as they have been known in former years. The coveys are tolerably numerous, numbers of which are al ready packed together, and being wild and strong on the wing on some moors, it was with difficulty that they were come within range of ; but from the accounts hi therto received from the moors, thesport was excellent,es peeially on Wednesday, which was a tine bright day, and the packs of birds were found basking on the sides of the hillocks. On a preserve near Alston moor,Cumberland, Mr. Timothy Featherstonhaugh, of the College, Kirkoswald, High Sheriff of the county of Cumberland, bagged up wards of 20 brace before noon on Tuesday. Sir George Musgrave, of Eden-hall, and other gentlemen were very successful. Mr. Henry Howard, of Greystoke Castle. and his brother-in-law, Lord Andover, bagged on Melt fells, 16 and 10 brace respectively. On Shap-fells, Birk beck-fells. and other preserves of the Earl of Lousdale, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, M.P., and other gentlemen now on a visit to his Lo-dship at Lowther Castle, made out well. From the late continued wet state of the weather, the moors were very wet and heavy; yet, not withstanding this, several of them made a long day of the 12th, but at night they were indeed and of a truth, " weary sportsmen." Grouse are selling at ss. and 6s. per bv.wye, and the supply keeps pace with the demand. The Marquis of Worcester and a few select friends . commenced the sport of grouse shooting last week on the Duke of Beaufort's moors, r ear Crickhowell. DERBYSHIRE. —Tuesday week being the 12th of Au gust, grouse shooting commenced.. The Derbyshire moors were crowded by eager sportsmen early in the morning, although the weather was very unfavourable. Nevertheless, the ardour manifested by the lover of the trigger was, no way unabated. Owing to the recent heavy rains the birds were unusually scarce, and the majority of the young ones very small. The sport, how ever, was considered , excellent ; and a great quantity of birds have been bagged. The moors were exceedingly wet and miry, and the grouse difficult to follow. Grouse !ias been fetching very high prices) On the first day, they were selling at 14s. a brace upon the moors. There were not a few tyros who essayed in vain to bring to bag a bird or two, rather than go home without " moor game." Some gave a sovereign a brace in order to pop hit° their heretofore empty pouches. The present price of grouse is from Bs. to 10s. per brace, according to the size of the birds.—Dtacaster Gazette. . ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTI-LERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 22. (Before Mr. Justice GRESSWELL. ) DREACEI OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—PASS V. POTTS. This action was brought to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded, first, that he did not promise ; second, that reasonable time for the marriage had - not elapsed before the commencement of the action; third, that the plaintiff did not ask the defendant to marry; fourth, that the defendant, at the time of making the promise, was not twenty-one years of age; fifth, that the plaintiff procured the defeudant to make the promise by means of fraud, covin, and misrepresentations of the plaintiff and others who counselled the plaintiff ; and sixth, that at the time the defendant made the promise he was so excessively drunk that he was altogether disabled from making any good and valid contract or promise. The Attorney-General (Mr. Wortley) and Mr. Webster were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson and Mr. Hog gins for the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that although the terms of the last plea were such as to excite some merriment, the matter would turn out to be far more serious, and that the defendant would be taught that it was not matter of joke. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was a young woman, of the age of twenty, who came forward to complain of the wanton and unprincipled aban donment of a promise calculated at all times to injure the feelings of any woman, and to injure, if not her character, at least her prospects in life. He was happy to state that in this case the character of the plaintiff was above suspicion. The parties were both in a respectable station of life. The plaintiff, Miss Pass, was the daughter of a respectable person, formerly in trade as a butcher, at Sheffield, but now the owner of some collieries and land at Pit's-moer, near that town. The plaintiff was the eldest daughter and was twenty years of age. The defendant was also a young person who had attained his ma-. jority in the month of March in this year. He was the son of a late lieutenant in the army. He was in the possession of some property in the East Riding of York, on the sea coast. In the year 1843, Mr. Pass and his daughter were at Hornsea, where they lodge' at the house of a tenant of the defendant. At that time the plaintiff was in her nineteenth year, and a young person of considerable attractions. The plaintiff and defendant walked out together. At the earnest solicitation of Mrs. Pass, the plaintiff was a ll owe d t o rema i n a fortnight longer, and the defendant went w ith h er t o HUH, when she left for home. In the summer of 1t144, the defendant went to Sheffield, and visited some ladies of the name of Oakes, and whilst there he met with the plaintiff's brother, and he expressed a wish to renew his acquaintance with the plaintiff. He afterwards went to the house of the plaintiff's father, where he paid considerable attention to the plaintiff, and eventually promised to marry her when he was twenty-one. He attained his majority on the 9th of March, and appointed the 3d April for the wedding-day. The dresses were ordered. The de :cadent wanted to be married in a week. Walked out with her amongst her friends and introduced himself as her future husband, and he asked her uncle to go with the party to church and give the bride away. He then said he would go to see his guardian, and left under the promise to return in a week. He never came back or wrote any explanation of his conduct, but after an absence of some weeks he went to the house of Mrs. Granger, at Sherborne, near York, and when asked to explain his conduct, he either did not or could not do so, but merely said he was much attached to Miss Pass. Mrs. Pass asked him what was the reason for treating her daughter in such a way. He wished to see Miss Pass, but she then refused to see him, and he had the effrontery to tell Mrs. Pass that he positively denied making any promise at all. The mother of the plaintiff and other witnesses were called, who proved the courtship, the promises of the defendant, and the preparations for the wedding. Mr. WATSON addressed the jury for the defence. He con tended that, although the Attorney-General had opened the case as one of great gravity, it was quite clear that no such gra vity belonged to it. He ridiculed the idea of there having been any promise made, and appealed to the jury whether, even if there had been a promise at all, it was well that it had not been effected, for it would have been a hasty, ill-conditioned match, made by a mere lad, raw from school. He blamed the father of the plaintiff for not having consulted the defendant's guar dian upon the subject, and he thought that very slight daMages would be sufficient to meet the justice of the case. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, went through the pleas, re marking that the defendant had better not have charged the plaintiff with having extorted the promise by fraud or covin. And then came that most singular plea of drunkenness—a plea which, if true, was not calculated to exalt the character of the defendant, and the feelings of a lady who wished to marry a confirmed drunkard could not be very refined. But it hap pened that the defendant had not made out his plea. It would he for the jury to decide what damage ought to be awarded. I No doubt both plaintiff and defendant were very young; but there was no proof that the defendant was a fool and did not , knnw what he was about. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. (Before Mr. Baron Rot.rit.) CHARGE Or MURDER.-- George Hill, aged 26, master mariner, was charged with the wilful murder of Ben Jonson, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction of England, on the 2d o f May last, by striking, kicking, and throwing him down upon the deck of a certain vessel, and also by beating him with a rope and a paddle. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Brandt and Mr. Paget appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs. Wilkins and James for the prisoner. William Angus, the first witness, said—l was cooper and seaman on beard the brig Challenge, on a voyage to the coast of Africa from Liverpool. I joined her on the coast, and came home in her. The prisoner was the captain. On Wednesday, the 11th of February, we shipped a seaman, named Ben Jonson, a kroo-man. He was about twenty-eight or thirty years of age. On the night of the Ist of May, I was in the captain's watch from twelve to four o'clock. There were also in the watch Henry Holmes, the second mate, Wm. Lyons, an apprentice, and the dec ease d. Ab out half -past two o'clock the deceased was s iting on the combings of the companion, • just at the top of the companion l a dd er. H e appeared to be asleep. I was sitting alongside of the grating, on the star board side, where the man at the wheel stands. I saw the deceased fall down stairs. Cannot say wh a t h e i g h t they are. I heard him strike twice in falling. Then the capta i n called out from the cabin, •' What is that noise?" The second mate then went down stairs, and he called' to me to come and pull Ben Jonson up out of that. I did not go, for when I got to the companion, I found Jonson about half way up the ladder, coming up by himself. I laid hold of him by the collar of the jacket, and asked him why he had fallen down there. He rested himself, with his arm upon the top of the companion, aril said I have been too much sleepy. By the jury—He got up himself. By Mr. PAGET—Though I got bold of his collar, I did rot give him arty assistance. When he rested on the companion he stood upon the deck. I told him to go and lie down along side of the grating o n th e l ar b oar d s id e; h e did so. William Lyon was at the wheel at the time. The second mate came on the deck immediately after, followed by the prisoner. was standing on the l ar b oar d s id e at th e t i me . Th e ca pt ain said, where is that fellow now ? I showed him, and the prisoner then went and got a rope which is kept on board for the purpose of flogging with. He then gave Ben a slap with the rope. The deceased wheeled himself right round and tried to get forward. The captain caught him by the back of the jacket and pulled him down on the deck, and commenced beating him with the rope and kicking him with his feet at the same time. This continued for the space of ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. I could see what was going on. The moon was not out, but it was not very dark, and there was a light in the binnacle. See ing the punishment goin g on, I w ent away to the starboard side of the quarter-deck, for I could not stand alongside any longer. Heard the prisoner say, " that rope, it is too light to make him rise," . and he reached his hand over the grating and got a canoe paddle, with which he commenced beating the de- ceased. The paddle was broken. (The pieces were produced with marks of blood on them.) The prisoner heat him on every part, wherever be could get a blow at him, for three or four minutes. I sat down just abaft the mainmast. The cap tam then told me to haul the deceased out of the round-house on the main -deck, and to fetch a bucket of water, which I did. I then poured the water on the head of the deceased, by the orders of the captain. The deceased was lying with his face downwards, and blood was flowing from his head or mouth. I heard a gurgling noise in his throat. When the captain gave the deceased the first blow with the rope, he gave a groan, but never spoke afterwards. After the beating, and whilst the deceased was lying on the quarter-deck, he made a snoring noise as if there was something in his nostrils, when the captain said, "If you lie there snoring; give you some more of it." I afterwards removed the deceased to abaft the galley by order of the captain. I was relieved from deck at four o'clock, and came on again about ten minutes past eight. The deceased was then lying at the windlass. I went to the wheel and con tinued there until twelve o'clock. At that time Ben was dead. Shortly after eight o'clock the captain and the chief mate ( Ritson) came on deck, when the captain asked the latter if he heard the noise in the night. The mate said he did, and then the captain asked how Ben felt after his beating. The mate replied that he supposed Ben was dead by that time, and the captain and Ritson went forward. About a quarter-past twelve the deceased was put overboard. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—The deceased made a tremendous noise in falling. I mid hold of the collar of the deceased's jacket and pulled him up. Part of the paddle was thrown overboard by the captain, but I did not see him do it. Have not heard the captain complain over and over again about the paddle being broken. Had ne doubt the deceased was dying at the time the captain was beating him. Upon my oath I saw Lyon. bring a lamp on deck, but cannot say whether. it was Holmes or Lyon who took it to where the deceased was lying. When I moved the deceased farther forward 1 dragged him by his legs. The crew consisted of nine persons. About seven weeks before we reached Liverpool a man stabbed the captain, and he was kept in irons until we got into port, Re-examined—In pulling up, the deceased gave him little or no assistance. Meant by saying I had no doubt the deceased was dying, that I did think he was dying. Have never seen so thick a rope used in - flogging before. Had seen the carpenter, who stabbed the captain, repeatedly flogged previously. I was never flogged by the captain. By the Foreman of lithe Jury—The captain had flogged the deceased the night before, to which he made no resistance. The crew also were frequently flogged by the captain without resistance. Cannot say whether the deceased fell down head or feet foremost. Henry Hohnes, exateined by Mr. BAANDT—Was second mate on board the brig Challenge. Recollects the deceased Ben Johnson being taken on board. When the deceased reached the top of the stairs on the night in question, he rested on the top of the companion for a few moments, and then laid down on the deck. Shortly afterwards the captain came up, took up a rope, and commenced flogging the de ceased. At intervals the deceased screamed out. The captain beat him for about ten minutes, and then seemed to be tired, and said the rope was too light. He then took hold of a paddle, and beat the deceased with it. He struck him re peatedly about the. head-and shoulders. The deceased was in a stooping position, and ran against me with his head. The prisoner got hold of the deceased, dragged him back, and again commenced beating him. The deceased left a mark of blood on my trousers, where he had run against me. Lyons was then at the wheel, but he was sent down into the cabin by the cap tain to fetch the lamp. He remained some time below, when the captain told him to hurry up; or We would warm him also. When thelatnp was hi-aught up . l examined the deeeased. The head and face wire covered with blood, and there was a large quantity of blood on the deck. The note was cut through, and also the lip, and there was a wound like a stab on the throat, under the jaw. His hair was clotted with blood. The captain saw him at the time. He then called to Angus to take him away, and throw some water on him, which lie did, and also wished the thick blood off the deck. Saw the deceased a little after eight o'clock lying abreast of the galley. He appeared only to be just alive. They went to the fore-top, and from thence saw the cook and . captain give the deceased something out - of a cup with a sphon. Cross-examined—The deceased had been in the habit of falling asleep whilst on watch. The deceased was going up stairs slowly because he had his trousers hanging about his heels. Some of the crew were the best behaved in the world, and cannot assign any reason for the captain flogging them. Williams Lyons,. apprentice, on board the brig Challenge, 'corroborated the - evidepce of theawn last witnesses,. except that he did not see the paddle used. - He added that the deceased died about eleven , o'clock, previous to which he gave him a little water four times, and the captain administered some spirits of hartshorn, mixed with water. By the Junta a— When the deceased came up out of the cabin there was no blood or cuts about his face that I saw. Did not ask whether he had hurt himself. He did not say anything. Saw some spots of blood on the top steps of the companion stairs. William Ritson examined—l was chief mate on board the Challenge. Heard 'the noise on the night in question, but did not come on deck until four o'clock. Shortly after, in consequence of what Hughes said to me, went and found the deceased lying between the main hatch and the galley, on the larboard side. I looked at him, but could not see what was the matter, as it was not daylight. Spoke to him, but received no answer. When it became daylight, about half past five, went x 4 - himiagain. Found his face cut. He was lying amangst -a - great deal of blood. - - -- His nose was: cut in: two, said - the wound extended into his cheek. One ' part - of the nose was about half an inch from the other, - The upper lip was cut, and there were two cuts in the throat—brie, a kind of stab, about half an inch long, appeared to have been done with a rough instrument of some sort. It might have been inflicted with the sharp end of a paddle. Removed the deceased to a dry part of the deck, and turned him on his side, when a great quantity of blood came out of his left ear. He eould not speak then. Saw him again a little after . 8 (AIDA. The captain then came on deck, and asked me how Ben was after his rope's-ending. I told him I did notArnove ; -he was' lying on the forecastle. He went and looked- at'hiin, and 'then came back, and said Ben's nose was cut or broken - in two. We both went forward to look at him, and the prisoner sent me for some Fryer's balsam to apply to his nose, which I fetched. I then went to bed. About half-past 11 the captain came and told me Ben was dead. Saw him at. II , o'clnek. - :The captaitr then said We must - bury - Ben.'. 'said we hull :letter exarniqe him first... I then examined him. The prisoner was present. I said I thought the bone at the back of. hip neck was a good deal higher than my own, but I did not know whether I was built the same way as black fellows-or not. The prisoner felt the bone. I said Ben had broken his neck. Then the prisoner called Phillips, the cook, and the cooper to examine the neck. Phillips said his neck was not broken, and the bone was no bigger than his own. The prisoner said the reason why he wished the bone examined was because some of the people might call him up for it in Liverpool; and say he had killed Ben. He was thrown overboard abeut - one - o'Plock: Made an entry in the log book from a copy - given le me on a slate by the captain. Wrote down a statement on the slate, and had copied the first three lines in the log, when the captain came to use, took the slate from me, and rubbed off my statement, and wrote another of his own on the slate, which he told me to copy into the lug-book. Cross-examined—The captain never threatened to disrate me, and,has .nens4 *Lorp::: , :-We,were,-in 32 deg.-33 min:'N. -latitude otsl .

IThe entry in the log was then read. It attributed the cause of the deceased's death to having fallen down the cabin stairs and broken his neck, and stated that the bone had protruded.] Mr. Francis Archer, surgeon, stated that in his opinion the injuries described were sufficient to cause death. Had the deceased injurecl_thespiwaor :dislocated the neck, the body below the partlvpuld have been paralysed, so that he could not have walked up stairs. The brain might have been injured so as to produce death in-- a few hours, and . yet he might have walked on deck. Had the _brain been injured by the fall the treatment he afterwards received would have accelerated his death. Mr. Witxtsis_addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. Fits LORDsHIP summed up, observing that the inquiry was a very importaut one, both as regarded the prisoner and the public. The jurLwotild have to say whether they believed the statements of the severil witnesses, and, if so, whether the act of the prisoner amounted to murder or manslaughter. After pointing out the legal distinction between the two offences, his Lordship proceeded to analyse the evidence. H e remar k e d ou several discrepancies in the testimoney of the several witnesses, and several circumstances in the details of their conduct whitih it seemed difficult to account for. He observed, in the entry in the log the first three lines were said to have been written without any interference of the captain, and which was totally different from the statement now made by the witnesses Angus, Lyon, - and Holmes, from Whose relation the mate must have originally compiled it. It was difficult also to account for the entry by the mate of whst he now said was a false statement in the log, or to suggest a motive of sufficient weight to induce him to do so. His Lordship, after going minutely through the evidence, pointing out - the various bearings for and against the prisoner, left the case in the hands of the jury, who, after a consultation of nearly two hours, brought in a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter. The prisoner, on being called on by the Clerk of the Crown in the usual way, said—lt appears to me that anything I can now say 'will have very little avail, but I will say this much, that so far Pohl being guilty relative to the crime of which I am charged, I am as innocent as any person now present. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence on the prisoner, said that the jury, after a most careful examination of the case, had come to the- conclusion that he was guilty of the offence of man slaughter,. and, though they were of opinion he did not in tend to takeawaythe life of the unfortunate man, it was im possible to look upon the case as other than one of the worst that ever came before a (!ourt. It had been said that the whole of the evidence adduced was the result of a conspiracy, and he (the prisoner) had declared he was entirely innocent. The truth of that asseveration was known to God and his own con science, but if it -were so, there had that day been exhibited a scene of wickedness unparalleled in a court of justice. His Lordship then proceeded to pass on the prisoner the sentence of transportation for life. - - August 23. CHARGE or MURDER.—Patrick O'Brien was indicted for .he murder of Miehael.Duffy, at Warrington, in the month of June last. Mr. James and Mr. J. Pollock conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared that the deceased was a chair-mender, living at Warrington. On the Bth of June last; being Sunday, he was at a public-house there, called the White Bull, where he met a party of his acquainranees, consisting of a Mrs. Connor, Joseph Williams, Mrs. Williams (his wife), Mary Flannagan, Jerry Dagnall, and James Maloney, all of whom were wit nesses on the present occasion. They had a good deal of ale together, but were not, it would appear, at all intoxicated. Patrick O'Brien, with another man, was sitting at the other side of the room ; but, so far as appeared, had no quarrel with any of the party accompanying the deceased. They left the public-house about half-past eleven o'clock, and went to the house of Mrs. Connor, where several of the party lived. Patrick O'Brien left at the same time, and was heard by Williams to say he would have a revenge of some one before he slept. A little after he was at the door of a person called rs. Gill,_and was endeavouring to bargain with her for lodg ing for the night, but was refused. Ho was then seen by one Bryan Duffy; a relative of the deceased, who was passing along the street. He carne up to Duffy, and putting his hand on his shoulder, said, Is that - you ?" Daffy said it was, and O'Brien, after looking earnestly at hint, went away in the direction of Mrs. -- Conunr'S. He 7 had then a brick or stone in his hand. . _ It appeared from the 'statement of several of the party who had gene to Mrs. Connor's, that shortly after they had entered the house it was agreed to send for some more ale, and the male portion of the party - wentaway - to fetch half-a-gallon. While they were absent Patrick O'Brien came into the house, and asked for a light for his pipe. It was given to him, and he then asked if he could beg a.pipe. Mrs. Connor said she neither sold nor lent pipes, and bade him go about his business. He said, "I am not c , rue as a spy, - Mrs. Connor," and went away. When the ale was brought they sat down to drink it, and some time after Williams and the deceased, Michael Duffy, went out into the street - . Williams was standing close to the door and the deceased was four or five yards off him, when the same Patrick O'Brien, whom they had seen at the public-heuse came up with a brick or stone in his hand, and coming within a couple of yards of the decegeek-hit hiitt•'witti' it on the fore. head and felted him to•thetrAtd. 'He then ran away. Duffy was aisistedoifito;thelleuip;riocrit *ias faind 'that he had re ceived a severe cut on the temple, which was bleeding freely. He was able to be about, and engaged in bis usual cceu Tali( r. for about a week, though complaining of much pain, but he then got worse, and finally died. On a post mortem examina tion, it was found that there was a fracture of the skull and an effusion of blood on the brain, which had caused his death. The Patrick O'Brien of whom the witTie;:es spoke had been employed at some chemical works near Warrington, and had been pre% iously known by sight to nearly all the winesses, though none of them had been on intimate terms with him. One, who lived in the Angel -yard, at Warrington, had seen him very frequently some months before this occurrence, as he was in the habit frequently of calling at a houae in the same yard. They all, however, seemed now to be doubtful of his identity, and the prisoner deglared.he was not Patrick O'Brien, but that his name was Lea, and that at the time of this occur rence be was in Ireland. They said that they thought the prisoner was the man, but they could not be certain, as his appearance was in many respects different. The person who committed the assault on the deceased had large sandy whiskers, and his hair, they thought, was thicker in the front, while the person now at the bar had his whiskers close shaved, and his hair was thin on the forehead, apparently from natural baldness. The prisoner had been apprehended and lodged in Cavan gaol, in consequence of an advertisement and descrip tion in the Hue and Cry. Bryan Duffy, one of the witnesses, was sent for, and on the prisoner being placed before him, in company with several others, selected him as the individual whom he had seen in the streets of Warrington on the night in question. The prix ner was finally acquitted. CHARGE OF MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.—Michael Moore was indicted for the wilful murder of John Campbell on the high seas. Mr. Blair and Mr. Drinkwater conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Atkinson was assigned as counsel for the defence. The deceased, John Campbell, was, it appeared, boatswain of a ship called the Mountaineer, which on the 29th of March last sailed from New Orleans, on her voyage to the port of Liverpool. The prisoner shipped at New Orleans as an able seaman. On the 14th of April the vessel was getting clear of the Gulph of Florida. The mate's watch had been set to work about 1 o'clock of the afternoon of that day. It consisted of 11 men, including the prisoner and the deceased. About 2 o'clock the mate, the deceased, and another sailor were engaged on the forecastle, getting the anchor on the rail. The mate was standing on the rail, and the deceased was about a yard behind him. The prisoner was near the windlass. Mr. Barrow, the mate, heard the de ceased cry out, " Look nut, Mr. Barrow." He half turned round and looked up aloft, where some of the watch were employed, when he received a push on the back, he did not at the moment see from whom, which threw him over the rail, but falling across the flying jib guy, he succeeded in recovering himself. On looking round, he saw the prisoner running past the windlass end towards the starboard side of the ship. He followed arid seized him. He was not at that time aware the boatswain had been injured; but on returning towards the forecastle he found him being assisted by two men aft, and on examination it appeared he had received a stab in the belly in the region of the stomach, from which blood and froth were oozing. Near the spot where the deceased had been working was found a knife which belonged to the pri soner. It was a clasp knife, with a blade about four inches long, which was covered with blood. The prisoner on being asked in the presence of the deceased what could have induced him to do such an act, said he was quite satisfied with what he had done, and wished he had done it before. The deceased said he felt he was dying, and begged them not to hurt the prisoner, saying, " I forgive him, and I hope God will." He died about seven in the evening. It appeared from the further examination of the several witnesses, that the prisoner had had no quarrel either with the deceased, the mate, or any of the crew. He was a good seaman, and had done his duty well. A day or two after he left New Orleans he was in conversa tion with the mate, and said he was very sorry he ever came on board the ship. The mate asked him why, and he said the crew were in a plot to throw him overboard. The mate asked him which of the crew, and he said he did not know. The mate endeavoured to eradicate this idea from his mind, but he several times repeated the same expressions both to him and other members of the crew. The day before this occurrence he saw the deceased and another sailor reading the Bible, and he said they were swearing the crew to throw him overboard. It appeared from the testimony of the surgeon of the gaol u n d er w h ose care t h e pr i so ner had b e e n after he was committed for trial on the arrival of the vessel in Liverpool, that the prisoner complained of pain. in his head, and seemed incoherent in his conversation. He xald..he had had the yellow fever at New Orleans. From what die medical man o b serve d in ssveral long co nvers ati ons w i t h him he thought the prisoner was suffering under sub-acute inflammation of the brain, and prescribed for him accordingly. While he was under medical treatment he seemed reserved, and rather avoided the notice of the surgeons, but appeared anxious to be discharged from the hospital. He seemed much better in consequence of the medical treatment.—Acquitted, on the ground of insanity. )f • t a a 11 - 4 *4.1."

Som' statistical returns have just been laid before Parliament, in reference to the West Indian Islands and Guiana, on the motion of Mr. Barkly, the member for Leominster, from which we extract the following particulars :- A general abstract of the population shows, that, ac cording to the latest census, the gross total population o the British West Indian Islands amounted to 888.209, and that the number of slaves since emanci pated, according to the compensation returns of 1834, amounttd to 663,899. The gross total of 889,209 was thus distributed :-Jamaica, 181,663 males and 195,800 females ; Honduras, 10,000 souls of both sexes ; the Bahamas, 12,623 males and 12,621. females (an extraordinary parity of numbers): Barbadoes, 56,004 males and 66,194 females ; Grenada, 13.732 males and 15,191 females ; St. Vincent, 12,600 males and 14,648 females ; St. Lucia, 9,871 males and 11,130 females ; Tobago, 6,152 males and 7,056 females ; An tigua, 16,723 males and 19,456 females ; Monteerrat, 3,336 males and 4,029 females ;- Bermuda, - 223 males and 286 females ; Dominica, 10,788 males and 11,681 females ; St. Chriitophei, 10.523 males and 12,654 females ; Nevis, 4,418 males and 5,153 females ; the Virgin Islands, 3,130 males and 3,559 females ). 'l'rinidad,3o.7l3 males and 29,102 females ; and British Guiana, 49,787 males and 48,346 females. Of the 377,433 inhabitants of Jamaica, 15,766 are whiter, 61,529 coloured or mulatto, and 293,128 black ; 332,922 are natives, and 33,519 Africans ; 51;707 are under 5 years of age ; 47,221 under 10 ; 62,733 under 20 ; 121,309 under 40 ; 68,442 under 60 ; and 25,963 above ,60 years of age. The occupations of the population are thus enume• rated :-108 artists, 26 architects, 61 agriculturists, 13 bankers, 564 boatmen, 1,555 clerks, 1,484 fishermen and fihfags, 20.571 household servants,. 50,653 labourers, 132,192 agricultural labourers, 267 pastors, 104 military men, 97 mariners, 41 miners, 433 merchants, 26 pilots, 315 policemen, 3987 planters : 453 professional persons, 1,672 retail traders, 86 surveyors, 544 storekeepers, 640 teachers, •7,399 tradesmen, 10,097 journeymen, 59 tavern-keepers, 948 miscellaneous, and 142,831 gen tlemen. The number of inhabited houses with land in Jamaica, amounts to 9,406 ; the number of sugar estates is 644, coffee plantations 671, and farms and other settlements 22,703. The population of the Bahamas is subdivided into 2,992 male and 3,070 female whites, and into 9,374 male arid 9,275 female coloured perions. 8,695 are employed in agriculture, 1,690 in manufactures, and 2 544 in com mercial pursuits. The whole population of the.WinoiwaVd Islands (Bar badoes, Grenada, and Cariacou, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, and Tobago) amounted on the 3d of. June, 1844, to 213,305 souls. 'Governor Grey informs Lord Stan- Ly, in his _dispatch of the 4th of October last, that the whole may be estimated at 225,000, instead of 213,305, some of the returns falling short of the actual numbers. The number of acres capable o being brought into cultivation is perhapi 500,000, of which little more than a quarter, or 130,000 acres arf actually cultiliated. Society throught;nt the islands e in an orderly and peaceable state, property rests secure, and the laws, except those of St. Lucia, where there is a etude and imperfect medley of the old French loi civile, with English ordinances, are simple, certain, and equita ble. The climate every where improves in salubrity as cultivation advances. In Barbadoes; ;Grive;rnor Grey says that the climate is as healtl4 , as that Of England. Deliberate reflection and calculation have led the Go vernor to the conclusion, that if 'capital be allowed to flow into the Windward Islands, gradually and steadily, another twenty-five years may swell the population to 500,000 souls, and increase the quantity of hind in cul tivation to 400,000 acres, and the export of sugar to 100,000 tons, or nearly half the present consumption of the whole of the United Kingdom. .Tbe total popula tion of Barbadoes is 122,198, of whom 30,000 (in round numbers) are employed in agriculture, and 28,000 in trade and business. Of Granada. the population is 28,293 ; of St. Vincent, 27,248 ; of St. Lucia, 21,001 ; of Tobago, 13,208. Of the Leeward Islands, Antigua numbers 36.405 ; Montserrat, 7,635; Bermuda, 50,9.;, St.. Christopher, 23,177 ; Dominica, 22,469; and Neyis, The census created a consklerabe sentiation in Nevis amongst the negroes, and many absurd_conjectures were set afloat as to its object. The matter was at length clearly explained to them through the medium of the clergy, or otherwise the feel ing of the population might have broken out in violence. The whole population of the Virgin Island amounts to 6689, and that of Trinidad to 60,319. Govenor Light, writing from Demerara, says that the Creole population is on a steady increase in Guiana. The total population on the 31st of December, 1844, amounted to 103,950, which shows an increase from natural' causes during that year of 1,226. The number of emancipated pea santry now living in thier own own dwellings in Guiana is estimated at, at least, 19,000. The number of email; cipated negroes now become freeholders,and holding plots of ground as such, amounts altogether to. About 2,940. • HAMBURGH AID DUTCH MAIL, HAMBURGH, Auo. 18.—The celebrated Marshal Mar moot hai arrived here. LEIPSIG, AUG, 15.—Their Majesties the King and Queen arrived here yesterd ty from Dresden His Ma j..?:.ty mingled among the people, and was ht artily wel comed by them. The King promised to have the strictest investigation made into the late evel.ts, and consoled the relatives of the persons killed with the prospect of being provided for. His Majesty then went to the hospital and conversed with the wounded. It might easily be irnaoined what a soothing effect this generous conduct of his Majesty had on the people. The Leipsig journals and letters say nothing of the arrival of their Majesties' CASSEL, AUG. 11.—A Cabinet order of—the Electoral Prince Regent has been received here, by which the formation of German communities is prohibited in the whole Electoral of Hesse Cassel. Instructions were, immediately sent from the depai talent of the interior to all the provincial governments to carry this order into effect without delay. The propagation of the doctrines of the New Catholics is forbidden, and the police are to take care that no subscriptions and col lections in their favour are set on foot in Hesse Cassel. Whoever acts in violation of this prohibition renders himself liable to prosecution and punishment. BERLIN, AUG. 15.—0 n the 13th of this month, a Ministerial Rescript was addressed to the censors, most strictly enjoining them to refuse their imprimateur to all paragraphs which contain the most distant allusion to religious matters in their periodicals, which are not ex pressly authorised by their licence to treat of religioua controversies. - THE HAGUE, AUG. 22.—The journals contain nume rous accounts of the devavation caused in various parts by a hurricane or waterspout that came from the South. The following are extracts : _ _ " LIEGE ZWALUW, AUG. 19.—T )-day about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon we had a furious hurricane or waterspout from the South-west, which beat down several large and strong barns, some to the very founda tion, from the house of the Burgomaster to that of Bastian de Vigel. The houses, too, have suffered enor mous damage, the roofs were carried away, the windows dashed to pieces. and many are so much injured that they are in danger of " It is impossible to estimate the damage, for not only the stock in thebarns,,but also what corn was mown and still in the fields, was taken up and scattered far and near. " We hear that the same hurricane, accompanied by a thunder storm, raged at Zevenberger, and did much damage. The Roman Catholic church, in particular, suffered much damage." AMSTERDAM, Au 6. 21.—There was good reason to fear that we should receive melancholy accounts of the effects of the violent hurricane which arose in the after noon of Tuesday, the 19th, and continued through the night and the following day. The immediate environs of this city have not remained free. We do not hear that any damage worth mentioning has been done, except the uprooting of few trees. AARLENDERVEEN, Apcf. 20.—A waterspout did gi eat damage here yesterday. On the road near Alphen it tore up a bridge, and threw it. to a great distance. A farmhouse was much injured, and many large trees up rooted. A small vessel on the Rhine, on board which were a man and his wife said three children, was turned upside down. The mast of it was fixed in the bed of the river. The parents and two children were thrown into the Rhine under the vessel, and saved with much difficulty ; the third, a girl eleven years old, seems to have been below in the cabin, and perished. We may thank Providence that the waterspout did not pass over the parts of the pnpulous districts of Alphen, Aarlan derveen, &c., which are tizkTe covered with buildings. The accounts from Zevinbergen are of a similar na ture ; more damage seems to have been clone there, and it was feared that several lives were lost. A child was found buried under the ruins, a carpenter is missing, and a servant, was found dead in a barn.

During the last few inenth;;;umber of students have been swindled by means of a new trick, which may be called le vol au duel. The authorities being informed of the proceeding, endeavoured to lay hands on the guilty parties, but ineffectually. On Sunday, however, Chance caused one of them to be caught in the fact. A young student, named Louis lienabid, was returning from the Chaumiere, a little the worse for certain bowls of punch which he had freely partaken of, when a tall man, wear. ing a foreign order, pushed against hiin, crying out, " Why the deuce don't you look before you ; are my feet the kerbstone ? Give me your card." The student, not exactly knowing what the whole matter was about mechanically complied with the requisition. He soon got to his lodging, and in a few minutes was fast asleep. The next morning he was awoke by a loud knocking at his room. He jumped up, and opening the door, found himself in face of two strangers. " Sir," said one of the visitors, "we are sent to you by Captain Grinoski, whom you insulted grossly last night. Name your seconds, that we may arrange the conditions of your meeting?' The student then recollected some thing of what had occurred, and expressed his sorrow at anything that might have happened, declaring that his head had been too • much worked on by what he had drunk to allow him to form any opinion of what he tnight have done. " All that is very possible," said the stranger, " hut thd captain is not Satisfied ; and the proof is, that although he was to have set out for Algeria this morning at seven o'clock, and his place in the diligence and his passage on board the steamer were paid for, be has remained here to obtain complete satis faction." The student repeated his apology ; but the other cried out, " All that is very fine ; but who is to pay my friend for the money he has forfeited ?" The student, happening to have some of his quarter's allow ance left, thought it would be better to bear the expense incurred by the captain, and offered to do so, provided the sum demanded was not too high. The strangers moderated their tone at this proposition, and declared that twenty Napoleons would suffice. The young man stating that he did not possess the whole of this sum, was recommendpo:l* .: his visitors to pledge a handsome gold watch, which Was hanging at •ther head of his bed. White" he wai'lleSitating about tueli 4 a iia.crlfine, an elderly man, who occupied the next reel* and had heard the whole of the dialogue, very quietly opened his door, and seizing one of the rogues by the collar, cried out for help to secure the other. The fellow, how ever, ran for it, and eventually escaped. The other was at once taken before the Commissary of Police, where he was recognised as a notorious rogue, named Che vigoty, already five times'condemned for various acts of swiudling,--Gatignaxi.‘ We have been for some time aware of a circum stance which, though it may not be wholly unknown to the authorities, we deem it. nevertheless, our duty now thus publicly to notice. We do so, not from any mis givings as to the precautionary measures which, we pre sume, must have been taken in the matter, but because we hope by this open allusion to the subject to deter certain parties who, for the meanest motives of personal profit, foment a delusion which mAy result in conse quences the most disastrous. The facts are these :—An Irish nobleman, residing in London, has long been la bouring under the absurd delusion that he is the object of unremitting persecution on the part of the highest personages in the State. Ile believes that he is con stautly watched by their emi•saries—that his servants are bribed by them to '• drug" his food; in fact, to poison hies, tie has, moreover, complained bitterly, that her Majesty has estranged his wife from him, and that she has actually gone so far in her enmity as to cause two little girls, illegitimate children of his, mere infants. to be corrupted. Not long since he consulted a military tailor at the west-end, as to the most becoming uniform for his " guard," as he said matters must soon come to an issue. He hesitates to take even a glass of wine until some other person tastes it before him, lest it should be " drugged ;" and yet, if this unhappy delusion were not in itself sufficiently deplorable, persons are found base enough to feed the madness of the unhappy man with stories of their having seen her Majesty and Sir Robert Peel, and ascertained the truth of his fear respecting their designs against him. Thus his excitement is con stantly stimulated. We greatly mistake, however, if this public notice of such conduct will not put an end to their proceedings ; and we have only to add that, should the authorities not already be sufficiently informed on the subject, we shall, without the slightest reserve, lay all the facts before them.—Observo.
