" We are proud to record the manly defence made by a young lad in the service of Mr. Thos. Eleary, a respectable farmer. at Moortown, in this neighbourhood, of his master's hpuse and property, on the night of Thutsday, the 10th inlet. In the absence of his . master in Dublin, the house was attacked by a banditti of arined :rnflians, at the hour-of eleven o'clock at night, demanding arms, with threats and imprecations, which the servant refused to give up, as his . mawter bad left thein in his charge. The ruffians then ma d e at tempts to force their way into the house at four different places, and were at length beaten.off by the constant and intrepid fire of this spirited young lad, and obliged to retire without effecting their purpose. If such examples - were followed up, outrages of this description would no longer disgrace the civilization of th4.country."

EDINBUROTT•IN§TITUTE..-*/it a meeting of the tneMberS-of this lastitution, held on Tuesday, the Sth instant, Mr. JOHN RUTIIVEN, printer, Edin burgh, laid before them a working model of 'his newly invented .printing-'press. : ' .- . ' This press is- constructed on principles entirely different from those of the presses now in use, to all of which; in the judgment of several profcs- Sional gentlemen who examined it, it is decidedly :superior. As its mechanism, however, cannot be easily understood without actual inspec.ion, : it would be to little purpose to attempt to Aescribe it ; but it may be observed in general, ' ' that ,by substituting compound levers for the screw, Mr. Ituthven has effected a considerable saving of power,. anal by a' more commodioussar rangement of the different parts of the machine, he has been. enabled to remove all the material 'defects of the printing press hitherto in: use.—ln Mr. liuthven's press, the coffin, or tabletfor the types, remains fixed, and the impression on one side.of a sheet is completed by one application of use moving ~power, and of.course by one:ex,ertiOn.of the arm. He has- a contrivance-for making register(printiag the pages exactly one the back of each other), in an improved manner, and art gulator for producing tlif- Aerent degrees of pressure that may . be required. Instead of pullingovith the right hand, as in the .other presses, alm;actice both i:iconvenient and dangerqus,. the vVorktnan.produces the impression' • ,, by.turning with,the.left hand .a winch or dandle, , .which makes about one-third of 'a 1. - evolution. It is proper to add, - drat , all the parts are-contrived -and- disposed with :4 due regard to-economy of .':time and labour, :ap.d„.with a, nice attention, to - every circumstance which -a practical knowledge - cif-the art.of printing could suggest. . , -- 411.r.Rtithven's construction has the advantlge of ..being.equally.applicable.on a great or small ,::ale; -With the model he exhibited, which did not oc cupy, more space-that, a cubic foot,. and although made of iron, was easily tarried- under the arm, he7printed of, in . pres_ence of the meeting, eight small pages, (contained. in the size of a dewy oc tavo), affording ocular evidence of the accuracy -with which the impression was taken, and theta.. '-eility with which the operation -was performed: • Such small presses would certainly be very useful in remote country places ; they might even fur nish a very pleasing,aniusement to amateurs ; and those of the large size, when their advantages be come known, will•no doubt be- brought into gene- , ral use by .the trade. :.- .• - ' . . . Mr. • IttrrilyEtc concluded the account of his , model by observing,-that as.no circumstance con -liected with the progress Of .an art that had ren dered such signal service...to _mankind- was . devoid - ttf ,. . interest, lie _thought it - but: justice to state, Chit: the . Ediribtirgh Institute had the merit of bringing this - invention into notice, as-the at- terition• excited -by the portable press, -formerly exhibited at a meeting of the Institute, had in- . &iced him to attempt one on a more extensive settle, which he had now the satisfaction to lay befae the Society. - I JAMAICA. • James Kellen, Assistant-Surgeon of the 7th 'test India Regiment,. was placed at the bar of , the Surrey Assize COurt, and-indicted in the usual form, for the murder ,of ;George Shea, on the :!night of the 23t1 November, - 161 . 3.
