from the - west. As the day advanced, however, the wind became lulled ; the clouds assumesl a greater alti tude; the beams of th sun occasionally strugglwl through. and, on the whole, the aspect was more favourable.— .Doneaster Garet to of Friday. Although Monday and Tuesday were amongst the most unfavourable days we have had in Yorkshire in prospect of the harvest, the brisk wind of Wednesday, the fair, though not brilliant day of Thursday, and the still More favourable weather of yesterday, have effected a very favourable change, and re-animated the public spirit's. The barometer, after passing through all the cbatiges from " Rain" to " Fair" in the course of those thr. e days, has assumed a more settled position. Still - there is mach cause for apprehension. In all parts of the country the corn is a good deal beaten down,—in wine places irrevocably ; we hear of rust and mildew, and the other diseases incident to wet seasons, and in the kw parts of the country, particularly in Lincolnshire, from which 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, and nearly ready for the sickle, but they do not ripen kindly, and the wheat, which is the most important of all the grain crop, is still green, and from a fortnight to three weeks later than last year. The following is an extract - from the Wakefield corn 16tter of the cor- responding week of last year (August 23) :—" Since this day lieek the weather upon the whole has been favourable for harvest - operations, and the harvest is now progreising rapidly. The supply of wheat is small for this d.iy's market, but sales are slow at a reduction of per quarter. A sample of new Lincolnshire barley was sold at 395. per quarter."—Leeds Merely y. SOUTH RAMS —Harvest operations have been much reterded here. On Monday rain set in about four in the afternoon, and lasted twenty hours, a dead soaker. Tuesday and Wednesday were catching days t' there was reaping but no carrying. For ten miles round Tomes the wheat is much blighted. 1 - ;:.pressing a doubt of this fact, to one of the best farmers of the dis trict, he pointed out to , us a field on the ridge of the hill which overlooks Totnes bridge, as a specimen of the eoedition of the wheat in that neighbourhood Thi,, fi,:la belongs to Mr. Nicholas Manning of BramborotKln ; 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 th e b e st description. We have seen spr?cimens of wheat from Drewsteignton district, culled by two ex- _ tensive corn-factors, yesterday, as a teat of the condition of the crop. These specimens exhibit rust and blight to a slight degree. Practical judges have come to the conclusion that a considerable quantity of foreign wheat must be bought before next harvest.— Western Times. THE 'MOOR& The sportkoan's time has never, we believe, been more actively employed than preceding the first day of the present geoi . t , e shodting season, n or b e tt er prospects h as he had that; What he is likely to enjoy during its conti nuance. A greater number of sportsmen has not been in the north than within the last few days. Several affootings, which, from their large extent and the diffi• culty existing of making up corresponding parties, are still in the market, but if these were divided into moors of from 5,000 to 6,000 acres, we hare no doubt but the whole would meet with tenants on any terms. Tuesday morning, the " twat of August," was rather Ilea% ourable for the bills; but towards the afternoon the day cleared up, so consequently our news from the hills of the number shot is not so large as at the same time last year. Oa the 12th, George Ross, Esq., of Cro marty, bagged, on the hill of Tain, 403. brace of grouse, 5 mountain hares, and a teal drake—in.king in all, 87 head of gituie. Mr. R. had only gone ont at a rather late hour, and hitherto this moor was almost wholly un productive, but owing to the attention latterly paid to the preservation of the game, it promises to become a very excellent one. Mr. Napier and Major Ogilvy, at Dounavourd, 'near PitloChrie, bagged 413. brace and three blue hares ; Alfred Baillie. E , q., eight brace, at Culduthel ; Mr. S. Casborne, 12 brace, on Mr. Grant's, Joverness, moors ; Major Fraser, 24 brace, on Holme moor, in four hours ; Mr. Rose and Mr. Sims, 21 brace, at Hol me ; C apta i n B oy d , 53 b race, and H. Davidson, Esq., at Cantry, 30 brace and 4 hares ; Mr. Laverack and p ar t y , at Pi tma i n, 200 brace ; Mr..M`Gildowny and Mr. Casement, at Bel vine, 70 brace ; Mr. Berney and friend, at Newton more, 35 brace each ; J. B. Fraser, at Monisck, 10 brace s in three hours ; Mr. Colby, at Dell of Morle, 30 brace ; Mr. Ross, at Strathgarve, 25 brace ; Call well, Esq.; and friend, at Kilfin, 57 brace ; Cl un y Mac pherson, 40 brace, at Cluny.—Ross-shire Advertiser. Considera* execution appears to have been done by sportsmen' on our moors, on the twelth and succeed ing days. The birds were plentiful, but strong on the wing, and generally not easily to be got at. At Blair quhan' on the 12th, Sir David H. Blair, Bart., Captain J. H. 13i Air,' and John H. Blair, Esq., shot 45 brace of Grouse, on Lamdoughty and Gass Moors, p trish of Straiton. Sir David bagged 18 brace to his own guu, although n.gt : uu the moor till half-past 11 o'clock. On the 14th tiir David, and John H. Blair, Esq. shot 313- brace in • four hours. On the 15th Sir Charles - Lambe, Bart., - and - Capt.. J: H. Blair bagged 35 brace in seven hours. Mr. Walker, of Bellsbank, on the 12th, killed 28 brace On the farm of _goer, on the Craigen- THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Itailkagain 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 jured the crops, which will not, it is thought, give an average yield, even should the weather continue as favour able as one would wish.—Derby 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 almost an average crop. The late rains have not injured the wheat so much as the unfavourableness of the weather at 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 rising and giving its nutriment to the kernel. It is hoped, notwithstanding, that if PrOvidence favours us w ith fine weather, there will be a fair supply up to Midsummer next. Barley and oats are a good crop The early potatoes have failed, but the later potatoes are looking very well. Harvesting has com menced in good earnest in Cornwall, and some small quan tities have bea4 secured in this neighbourhood, more par ticularly in the .vieinity orthe rivers. We saw a consi derable quantity :cut in the neighbourhood of Saltram lan week. The few days of fine weather that we have bad has enabled farmers to get in a great deal of the hay that was in a precarious state, and it may be said to be seeured in tolerable order. • The quantity saved in fine order has not been large, but the crop upon the whole has been a bountiful one.—Plymouth Journal. The weather, we regret to say, is still most untoward for harvest purposes. On Monday from noon till night sunshine and moderate heat prevailed; but since then we have had showers, heavy rains, and almost chilling cold. The rain ceased yesterday evening, but 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 yesterday 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 anxious to represent it—and we are in formed by an experienced agriculm. ist, who has • within the last week seen a good deal the condition of the crops through this county, that they look gene rally good and productive. We have seen some samples 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 complain. A great deal, however, will yet depend on the continuance of fair weather or otherwise, for in many parts of the county the crops are very late, and require some ripe.ang heat to bring them to maturity.—Cork Southern Reporter. • THE HARVEST.—The few finer days previous to Monday last raised hopes that the harvest might yet be gathered in tolerable condition, but on the eveping of that day the clouds gathered again, and a deluge of rain fell the whole of the night, continuing on Tuesday, accompanied with a strong and tempestuous wind. The alarm is again general. The failure of the potato crop is confirmed from all quarters. Very serious, indeed beyond all calculation, must be the consequences, if immediate and long continued dry weather do not ensue. Under any circumstances, enough damage has been already done to render the crop deficient in yield and in quality. Amidst all this, there is a duty of nearly 20s. per quarter on the importations of corn. What a taste for starvation the people of this country must have, to enact, or allow to be enacted, such laws !—Kent Herald. Within the last few days the state of the weather in this district has been of such a character as to awaken serious apprehensions for the safety of the growing crops. A large quantity of rain fell during the whole of Monday and Tuesday and the greater portion of these nights, with little hope that a period was at hand for the prevalence of those sunlight and genial hours which are essentially necessary for bringing the produce to a state of perfect maturity. On Wednesday the showers hatd 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 end, 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 be totally unable to' resume their upright position ; and that the grain will be much deteriorated by the im possibility of its becoming well fed, or of ripening equally. This feeling has been increased by the rain occurring after the 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 bti 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 cut, — at Wheatley, for instance, on the farm of Sir W. B. Cooke, Bart., where harvest commenced on Friday last by cutting it with the sickle ; but these operations, in consequence of the heavy and incessant rains, have been checked. We have seen several tracks of this description of produce much lodged ; and, in some instances, the green weeds are growing through, and binding it down to the ground. Under these circum stances, it is to he 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: ,ffieh. gillan estate. Dr. Eaton of Darnaconner killed, on the Darnaconner Moor, on the •12th, 194 'nape, and a snipe ; on tile 13th, 124, and a hare ; on the . 15th, 134 brace and 2 snipes ; and on the 16th, 144 brace of grouse, and one brace of snipes. Dr. Eaton was home each day at four o'clock. On the 12th, Mr. Aird cif 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 immense slaughter of game. 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. The coveys are tolerably numerous, numbers of them are already 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 hitherto received from the moors, the sport was excel lent, especially on Wednesday, which was a fine bright day, and the packs of birds were found basking on the sides of the hillocks. From the late continued wet state of the weather, the moors were very wet and heavy ; yet, notwithstanding this, several of them made a long day of the 12th, 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 Mercury. ceased. The paddle was broken. (The pieces were produced with marks of blood on them.-) The prisoner beat him on every part, wherever be could get a blow at him, for threa or four minutes. I sat down just abaft the mainmast. The cap tain 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, I'll 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'cl .ck, 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. WI exies—The deceased made a tremendous, noise in falling. I laid hold of the collar of the o 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 no 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 I 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—ln pulling up, the deceased gave him little or no assistance. Meant by saying 1 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 previoesly. I was never fl,, :ged by the captain. By the Forman of ithe 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 Holmes, examined by Mr. BRANDT—Was second mate on hoard the brig Challenge. Recollects the deceased Lien 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. hm re peatedly ahoia 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 t im. 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 fech the lamp. He remained some time below, when the captain told him to hurry up, or he would warm him also. When the lamp was brought up I examined the deceased. The head and face were covered with blood, and there was a large quantity of blood on the deck. The nose 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 he did, and also washed 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 spoon. 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. William Lyons, apprentice on board the brig Challenge, corroborated the evidence of the two 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 JUDGE—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 to him again. Found his face cut. He was lying amongst a great deal of blood. His nose . was: cut in two, and 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 —one, a kind of stab, about half an inch long, appeared to have been done with a rough instrument of Mme 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 could not speak then. Saw him again a little after 8 o'clock. The captain then came on deck, and asked me how Ben was after his rope's-ending. I told him I did not know; he was lying on the forecastle. He went and looked at him, 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 sots,. Pryar's balsam to apply to his nose, which I fetched. I then went to bed. About half-past t 1 the captain came and told me Berl was dead. Saw him at 11 o'clock. The captain then said, "We must bury Ben." I said we had better examine him first. I Then examined him. The prisoner was present. I said I thought the.bone at the hack of his 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 the cook, and the cooper to examine the neck. Phillips said his neck was not broken, and , Wst 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 about one o'clock. Made! airentry in the log book from a copy given to me on a slate Captain. Wrote down a statement on the slate, and had copied the first three lines in the log, when the captain came to meistoek the slate from me, and rubbed off my statement, and wrote another of his own en the slate, which he told me to copy into the log-book. Cross -examined—The captain never threatened 'to disrate me, and has never said so. We were in 32 deg. 33 min. N. latitude at the time. I could not see the blood when 1 first came on deck. There was as much blood as covered one side of the deck fore and aft. There was as much clotted blood as would fill both hands three times over, besides what others had thrown overboard. 'The 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 injured the spine or dislocated the neck, the body below the part would 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. Wiemits addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. His LORDSHIP summed up, observing that the inquiry was a very important one, both as regarded the prisoner and the public. The jury would have to say whether they believed the statements of the several 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. He remarked on several discrepancies in the testimoney of the several witnesses, and several circumstances in the details oftheir conduct which it seemed difficult to account for. He obierved, 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 what 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 from being guilty relative to the crime of which I am charged, lam as innocent as any person now present. His LoRDSHIP, in passing sentence on the prisoner, said that the jury, a ft er a most care f u l exam i nation 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 take away the life of the unfortunate man, it was ime possible to look upon the case as other than one of the worst that ever came before a court. 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. Hi s Lordship then proceeded to pass on the prisoner the sentence of transportition for life. He wasable to be about, and emzsged in Li, usual ocennath,na f)r about a week, thou,;ll ' h.,• 1.,, then got worse, and final . 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 witnesses spoke had been employed at some chemical works near Warrington, and had been previously known by sight to nearly all the witnesses, 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 house in the same yard. They all, however, seemed now to be doubtful of his identity, and the prisoner declared he was not Patrick O'Brien, but that his name was Lea, and that at the time of this occur rence he 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 pris ner was finally acquitted. CHARGE OF MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAL-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 Orleanq, 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 out, Mr. Barrow." He half turned round and l'ociked up ahvit, where some of the watch were employed, when he received a push on the back, he did nut at the rnement see from whom, which threw him over the rail, but falling across the flying jib guy, he succeeded in recovering himself. OU looking round, he saw the prisoner running pas' the windlass end towards the starboard aide of the ship. He followed and seized him. He was not at that time aware the brtswain had been injured; hut on returning towards t heflecastle 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 we re i n a p l ot to t h row hi m 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 sur g eon of the gaol und er w h ose care the pr i soner ha d b een 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 said he had had the yellow fever at New Orleans. From what the medical man observed in ssveral long conversations with 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. CUMBERLAND. The early dawn on Tuesday morning, the 12th instant, which was a fair one, but rather dark and 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 iu the coun ties or Cumberland and Westmoreland, grouse are pretty plentiful, the pouts being fine strong birc 4 s, but the old ones, especially the hens, are only small, and not so plump as they have been known in former yr ars. The covey a are tolerably numereu,, 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, the spurt was excellent, es pecially on 11r. dne.duy, which was a flue bright - . day, and the peeks of birds were found bAsking on the sides of the 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.

Grouse are selling at ss. and 6s. per brace, 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, rear Crickhowell. DERBYSHIRE. —Tuesday week being the 12th of Au gust, grouse shooting commenced. The Derbyshire rooors were crowded by eager sportsmen early in the morning, although the weather was very unfavourable. Nevertheless, the ardour manifested by the foyer 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 has 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 'silo 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 iato their heretofore empty pouches. The present price of grouse is•from Bs. to 10s. per brace, accordiug ta.the size of the birds.—Doucaster Gazette. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pterr.) MANSLAUGHTER.—THE PRINCE OF WALES MARGATE STEAMER. —Henry Ross, the captain of the Prince of Wales Margate steamer, was indicted for the manslaughter of David Davis, the mate of a small vessel called the Culloden, on the 22d of July, in the River Thames. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Mr. Baron PLATT summed up at considerable length, and The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The case did not conclude till past four o'clock, baying occupied the Court sin hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) QUEEN- SQ UARE. IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION.—Lord Dudley Stuart, ac companied by Cel ptain Townshend, attended at this Court to prefer a charge against Michael Cavanagh, 24 B, for violating his duty by apprehending a person unlawfully, and using more force than was necessary in that appre hension. On the 15th inst. Louisa Manning was charged with being disorderly and assaulting the Constable Cavanagh, who alleged that the girl had hewn walking r.bout the street all - night, and had swicited many gentle men, and had been As'7..rtied to take care of herself ; that she was afterwards seen in conversation with a friend of hers, and was told again to walk on ; she refused to do so, and the policeman laid hold of her to take her to the station ; that upon this she struck the policeman and kicked him, and upon being dragged on, she held by the railing until she was forced off to the station-house. The magistrate held that the constable was justified in the conduct he had pursued. Lord Dudley Stuart upon this applied to the Police Commissioners, who directed that the case should be argued fully before the magis trate, ited suspended the police constable in the interval. His Lordship said that at about half-past twelve on the night of Thursday week' he saw a crowd of persons assembled round a female at the corner of Milton-place. She was. holding by the railings and the policeman ens deavouring to take her away, and she objected to go with him. The policeman- - laid hold, but she would not go, and slipped on the ground. She said that if they took her they must drag her. Something_was said about fetching the stretcher, when the girl undertook to go qu i et l y if they did not meddle with her, and she did so. The girl went to the station, folloWed by his Lordship and friend and another gentleman, when 21 B, although put in possession of the whole of the circumstances, said it was his duty to send the case before a magistrate.. Mr. Lewis cross-examined his Lordship, in order to. show that, having .come up whilst she was in custody, he had na opportunity of knowing the commencement or how she had previously tuisponducted herself. In answer to two or three other questions hiaLordship said that the girl denied at the station that she had as saulted the constable, acrd added that he saw no violehce except on the part of the police - . Captain J. Townshend confirmed his Lordship's atate merit. William Foster, a private in the Blues, said, that at, about half-past twelve he saw a man and woman stand ing on the pavement between Sloane -street and Hyde Park-corner. When witness got within five or six yards a policeman laid hold of her arm or dress, and dragged her several yards with great vielence from the man. The woman caught hold of the railings to prevent the policeman taking her, and retained her hold until he got assistance to remove her. She was dragged ten or twelve yards along the pavement, when she repeated her re fusal to go, and threw herself down. William Mathews, in the employ of Mr. Bennett, of Stanhope Gate, said he was speaking tci Louisa Man ning for about half a minute, when defendant came up and ordered her to go on, when she asked what for, and said she was doing no harm. Defendant then caught her by the arm, and said he would take her to the sta tion-house, and pushed her along. Witness then spoke to the circumstance of her having clung to the railings, as described by his Lor'ship and other witnesses. Mr. Lewis called Webster Jones, a constable of the B division, who said that the witness had been brought into the station-house some time before, charged with stealing a watch ; he was then called Meadows. The witness denied, in the strongest terms, ever being so charged. Jones said, " I should not like to swear positively that he is the man." A murmur of marked dissatisfaction ran through the assemblage. Mr. Lewis observed that he had only acted upon his instruc . ions. The girl, Louisa Manning, was then put into the wit ness-box, and gave her evidence with much apparent fairness. She was talking to Mathews, when defendant told her to move on, when she replied she should not go, she was only talking to a friend. She stood there two minutes, when he ordered her en again, and said he should take her. Defendant' then laid hold of her by the wrists, and she resisted, when he dragged her to Wilton-place, a w ir h e e a r d e y sh g e iv l e a n. laid hold of a oi dt t n h i c t , te r d, ailings, and would not go. The remaind er o f the evidence corresponded with that in cr oss - examination, th at s h e had been ecrusttooYyr Lewi s'ssixt times tl for drunkenness and disorder, but denied that she had ever been sent to prison. Mr. Lewis slid that the charge divided itself under two heads—the improperly taking her into custody, and the using more violence than was necessary ; and was about to address the magistrate, when Mr. BURRELL thought there , was no necessity to dis cuss the second poi n t, as it did not appear that more violence had been used than necessary. The question was whether she had been properly apprehended. Mr. Lewis said, in this case it was quite clear that she was parading the streets for the purpose of so li c i tat i on. Alt. BURRELL said that the solicitations, under the clause, most be to the annoyance of passengers, &c. Mr. Lewis urged that this parading the streets for hours by a pers,ei of notoriously disorderly habits, at a time when respectable females were returning from visits to theatres or otherwise, was an annoyance. Mr. BURRELL thought that although the words " an noyance to passengers," were those u s ed, it was i n d ee d very questionable whether there should not be some on justify- interference. 'there was a noth er crpclause,laitl t e 64th, the latter part of which might apply. It said, " All persons who should be found between sun set and eight o'clock in the morning, lying or loitering in any highway, yard, or other place, and not give a sa tisfactoiy account, should be deemed an offender." He admitted that there was a great deal of difficulty as to the extent of applicati,,n of the clause, with respect to prostitutes: It was a question of law, and he could not feel that this was a case in which he should be justi fied in inflicting a penalty upon the constable, who, ac cording to his evidence, had seen the woman accost persons and walk about for hours, and who, after giving her time to walk away, and twice requesting her, looked upon the whole of her behaviour of the evening and took her. had the apprehension had *reference only to August 23. CHARGE OF Mortnta.—Patrick O'Brien wag indicted for the murder of Michael Duffy, Lt 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 acquaintances, 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 Alas. 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 ‘t es. Gill, and was endeavouring to bargain with her for lodg ir, for the night, but was refused. He was then seen by one Bryan Duffy, a relative of the deceased, who was passing along the street. He came up to Duffy, and putting his hand on his shoulder, said, "Is that you ?" Duffy said it was, and O'Brien, after looking earnestly at him, went away in the direction of Mrs. Connor's. He had then a brick 2r 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 went away to fetch half- a . ga ll on. W h i le they were absent Patrick O'Brien came' into the house, and asked for a light for hispipe. 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 come-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-house came up with a brick or stone in his ha.i.d, and coming within a couple of yards of the deceased, hit WM-with it on_ the fore head And felled him to the giound. H e then ran'aWaY. Duffy was assisted into the house, and it was, found that he. had re ceived a severe cut on the ieni f iro, vfhick-wgs btcedings:freely. THE SITT-N, ( -I,ols OWN., =MOND A Y - RITE UG-UST 25, ii 446„ th 1.4,0 tin), I .vr - . ' ciefortd.c.lit Lord Dudley said, it was his opinion that the constable in this case had no right whatever to interfere, and that his conduct, in his belief, was contrary to law. She was standing with a friend, was talking quietly, was not guilty of any disorder, and was doing no /harm when she was desired to move, and feeling that she had committed no offence refused ,and when laid hold of and dragged about resisted, and he (Lord Dudley) would ask who would not if improperly and unjustly apprehended ? For his own part he would undertake to say that he would, if so situated. He considered that the constable had abused the power he possessed, and that the police had great temptations to be the tyrants of the streets, rather than the guardians of the peace. After some further obser. rations to the same effect, in which he alleged that they required looking closely after, and often were the cause of riots by their improper interference, he concluded by observing that Colonel Rowan had said they had no right to interfere if an unfortunate female was merely standing talking to a friend, without creating any dis ord. r. • Mr. BURRELL said that in this case there was a differ ence, as the constable had seen her throughout the night, and spoke to her. If the matter rested. entirely upon . what had occ.:rred at the time of apprehension, without reference to her previous conduct, he should say the constable had no right to take hen—Defendant was then discharged. _ CLERKENWELL. _ . Edmund Thomas Yeah('a was placed at the bar for re-examination, ‘rhar;?ed with having forged the name of Colonel Howard Stanley-, of Home Park, ‘l'iAsor, to the subscription contract deed of the South Midland, North ampton, and Leicestershire Railway Company, for the amount of 8001. Mr. Charles Stuart Bowles, solicitor of Windsor, was called. He knew Horne Park, Windsor, which is in a: portion of her Majesty's domain. •In May last it was occupied only by her Majesty's servants ; no such per son as Colonel Howard Stanley was an occupant in the park._ • Prisoner.—l am ready to admit that the name of Colonel Howard Stanley is all imagination—all a fiction —a creation of the brain. Mr. Clarkson.—As you have no legal adviser her, you are not bound to ray anything ; if you do so, 1 mu 4 request the clerk to set it down in writit , g. Prisoner.—Well, after that I shall dec!i Le saying more than that I was authorized to do what I have done, with out any intention to defraud. Ile was then remanded for a fortnight, with an inti•- !nation that responsible bail would be accepted for his re-appearance to answer the charge. Mr. a Lander was placed at the bar charged with a forgery on the same Company under similar circum stances. Mr. Henry Stanley, Secretary to the South Midland Northampton, and Leicestershire Railway Compaq . , pave evidence as to receiving letters in the name of Fer- . dinand I)elisle, Esq., the merchant and banker, in May last, with the address'i' Russell House, Bal h am-hill," for shares, which were allotted. Mrs. Shaw, who with her husband bad the care of Russell House, gave evidence to show that her husband was formerly acquainted with the prisoner, and that he requested him to allow him to direct his letters there, which was granted, until a suspicion arose that there was something. wrong going forward. He gave his di ] e"ti. " Mr. C. Lander, 11, Webber-street, Blackfriars ... road." - Mr. Clarkson raid this was all the evidence be was in a condition to produce to-day, in order to enabie him to ask for another remand. The evidence of Mi. Ferdinand Delisle was taken to prove that he knew nothing of the prisoner, and never authorised him to use his name with the Company. Mr. GREENWOOD remanded the prisoner f)r a fort night, but would accept bail to the amount of 5004 him self; and two housekeepers in 2504 each. FRIDAY NIGHTS GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS DECLARED. H.

He was ordered to find bail, and in default was locked up. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. —• NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 22, (Before Mr. Justice Castsswitm..) BREACH 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 defendant 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.exeessively 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 ioke. 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, Mite 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 lodged '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 allowed to remain a fortnight longer, and the defendant went with;ber to Hull, when she left for home. ln the summer of 1844, 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 fendant 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 refined 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 ridienled 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, far 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 a ould 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 wishes 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 be for the jury to decide what damage ought to be awarded. No doubt both plaintiff and defendant were very young; but there was no proof that the defendant was a fool said did not know what he was about. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. (Before Mr. Baron RoLne.) 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-1 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 shipried a seaman, named Ben Jonson, a kroo-man. He wa- about twenty-eight or thirty years of age. On the niAt of th e lit of M a y, I was in the captain's watch from twelve t o f our o'clock. There were also in the watch Henry Holmes, the second mate, Wm. Lyons, an apprentice, and the deceased. Ab out half-past two o'clock the deceased was sitting on the combings of the companion, just at the top of the companion ladder. He appeared to be arleep. I was sitting alongside of tba grating, on the star board side, where the man at the wheel stands. I saw the deceased fall down stairs. Cannot say what height they are. I heard him strike twice is falling. Then the captain 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, coning 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, anl 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 not give him any 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 on the larboard side ; _he did so. William Lyon was at the w h ee l a t th e time. The second mate came on the deck immediately after, followed by the prisoner. I was standing on the larboard side at the time. The captain 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 going on, I went, away to the starboard side of the quarter-deck, for I could not stand alongside any longer.

His Majesty then went to the hospital and conversed with the wounded. It might easily be imagined what a soothing effect this generous conduct of his Majesty h a d on t h e people. TheLeipsig 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 formatien of German communities is prohibited in the whole Electoral of Hesse Cassel. Instructions were immediately sent from the department of the interior to ail 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 puuishment. BERLIN, AUG. 15.—0 n the 13th of this month, a Rescript was addresed to the censers, most wrictly enjeiniog them to refuse their imprintateur 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 religious controversies. - THE HAGUE. ArG. 22.—The journals contain nume rous accounts of the ievaseition caused in various parts by a hurricane or waterspout that came from the South. The following are extracts : " LIEGE ZWALUW, Aro. 19.—T0-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 falling. It is impossible to estimate the damage, for not only the stock in the barns, 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 Zevenherger, and did mueh damage. The Roman Catholic Church, in particular, suffered much damage." Ammaram, AUG. 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 a few trees. AARLENDERVEEN, AUG. 20.—A waterspout did great 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 and 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 populous districts of Alphen, Aarlan derveen, &c., which are more covered with buildings. The accounts from Zeviubergen are of a similar na ture ; more damage seems to have been done 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. THE HAGUE, AUG. 21.—We learn that their Majes ties the King and Queen will set out to-morrow on their intended visit to Luxemburg. A part of their attend ants have already left the Hague. A NEW TRICK BY PARISIAN ROGUES. During the last few months a number 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 Renaud, 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 him, crying out, Why the deuce don't you look before you ; are my feet the kerbstone ? Give me your card." The student, nut exactly knowing what the whole matter ia as about mechanically complied with the requisition. He soon ,got to his lodging, an d i n a f ew m i nutes was f ast asleep. ;Ihe . next morning he was awoke by a loud knocking at his room. He jumped up, and opening the door, found - hlulself in tace of two strangers, " Sir," said one of the visitors, "we are sent to 3=ou 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 might have done. " All that is very possible," said the stranger, " but the 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, he 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 lo 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, anti declared that twenty Napoleons would suffice. The young man stating that he did not - possess the whole of this sum. was recommended by his visitors to pledge a handsome gold watch, which. was hanging at the head of his bed. While he . was hesitating about such a sacrifice, an elderly man, who occupied the next room, 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 vigney, already five times condemned for various acts of swindling.— Gaily/taxi. 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. He believes that he is con stantly watched by their emissaries—that his servants are bribed by them to'' drug" his food; in fact, to poison hies. He 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, psrsons 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 tvcertained the truth of his fear respecting their designs against him. Thus his excitement is con stantly stimnlated. 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.—Observe,. _ _ Mr. Kirk, M.P., had an interview with the Chan celicr of the Exchequer on Saturday, at his official residence in Downing-street.
