The one quickly returned to the bank, but the other continued swimming till he came near to the Welsh bridge, when his legs became entangled in his trousers, and he suddenly sank, in the presence of many who were watching him, and was drowned.— Wilts Independent.

SIR,— The meeting this week at Goodwood, for quan tity and quality of sport, has never bean equalled, and it is very doubtful whether it will ever be surpassed—it commences on Tuesday with the Craven Stakes, the winner of which will come out of Kent's stable. The Drawing Room Stakes it is very likely will bring out Kedger, Cowl, Pam, Old England, Wood Pigeon, Refraction or Estelle, Worthless and Pantasa ; should the latter come to the post, I shall expect to see him first. If not, Cowl or Old England will most certainly do the trick. The 300 Sovs,Sweepstakes look well for Colonel A son, with Joe Lovell; the Devil to Pay, or All Round my Hat playing second fiddle. The Gratwicke Stakes will produce a sharp race be tween Pic Nic, the Merry Monarch, and Cowl ; shouldhe not run for the Drawing Room Stakes, in my opinion he will be reserved for this Stake, and if he is, most pro bably will win it, Merry Monarch being second, and Pic Nic third. The Ham Stakes are destined beyond a doubt for the Princess Alice, with West Countryman and the Estelle colt well up. The Lavant Stakes will have a field of about eight, including Sting, Cherokee, Grimston, Fair Helen, Cam baules, arid Collingwood, (latter doubtful) ; some of these are " dark," and I shall not be surprised to see a " dark one " the winner—this will be the tightest race run at Good wood this meeting. I shall look to Dawson with Grimston, or Forth with Sting for the winner, Cherokee being close up at the finish. A Sweepstakes of 300 sows. looks very like a walk over for Jenghiz Khan. The Goodwood Club Stakes will probably leave Quebec or Croton Oil for winner, distance suiting both. The Welter Stakes to Lord G. Bentiuck, with Naworth, Wolfdog second. The Match between Antler and Red Deer will be won by the latter. The Innkeepers' Plate, I think, will be won by The Wheel. On Wednesday, the Goodwood Stakes will, doubtlesQ, bring to tile post a larger field, probably eighteen, which I fancy will be the following, viz. :—Queen Mab, John o'Gaunt, Aristides, Una, Venus, Nottingham, Light ning, Pineapple, Ajax, Milton, Rowena, Libel, Wee Pet, Vates, Boarding School Miss, Pythia, /Egis, What, and with perhaps Warp and one or two more. Pythia, The Libel, Miss Elis, Laird o'Cockpen, Glossy, Britannia, Rochester and Nottingham will have had enough long before they reach the run in. John o'Gaunt will run well. Una will not be far behind the winner. Wee Pet and Warp will not get nearer than the rear of the front rank. Europa may be a very good plater, but she must be something more to do any good here. Agis and Ajax will both find the pace too good for them. Rowena and Lightning, Dawson 'a starters, I do not consider to be quite up to the mark, notwithstanding I expect to see them figure in the front. Queen Mab has too much weight upon her, but yet she might just manage to pull through. Should Aristides be in good temper he will prove himself a most dangerous comp, - titor. Venus being in capital condition, and the distance just suiting her, will no doubt be one of the first four. Boarding School Miss will not pull through such a dis tance as this race is for ; she would be sure to win, were it for the Ditch Mile at Newmarket, instead of the Cup Course at Goodwood. Now, to sum up, I shall be pre pared to see the winner sprint,; out of the following nine: —Queen Mab, John ,'Gaunt, Aristides, Una, Venus, Lightning, Rowena., Yates, and Warp, and will venture to predict that Aristides or Venus will be the winner of GoAwood Stakes this year, with Lightning and Yates ,close up. _ On Thursday the Goodwood Cup will bring out a large fi,ld, including, among others, Valerian, Drummer, My Old Hack, Mid Lothian, Example, St. Lawrence, and the Cure. Out of such a field and at such heavy weights it is not the easiest task imaginable to pick out the winner. Rowena, if she runs, will stand a very go o d chance. Valerian will have had enough by the time IP‘ has gone a mile and a half. St. Lawrence has too much weight on him, yet his chance is not quite out. Game cock will show that he is anything but game on Thurs day next. Refra,!tion cannot go the distance ; the same can be said of Stomacher and Miss Elis. The T'Auld mare would have a tolerably good chance, notwithstand ing, the great weight of 9st. 10lb. she has to carry, were she to start. Mid Lothian can go the pace and stay the distance. but his starting is very doubtful. Drummer and My Old Hack will run well. In conclusion, I fanry My Old Hack, Mid Lothian, and Drummer will furnish the winner. The 200 sovs. SweTstakes for tw) year olds, will go :a Lord G. Bentinck viith the Princess Alice. Wilder less second. The Racing Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck; Pam bein second. Tile 200 sovs. Stakes to Sombrero. Arkwright second. The 25 sovs. Stakes to the Estelle colt or Camera Obscura. The 100 sous. Stakes to the Laird o' Cockpen. Night cap second. The 50 sovs. Stakes for throe year olds to Lord G. Bentinck. The Mulecomb Stakes to Sting or Grimston. Witser d well up. The Anglesey Stakes to Naworth or Quebec. Wheel and Croton Oil well up. On Friday, the day for the amateurs, the sport will commence with the Nassau Stakes, whilh Refracticn will win, Longitude or Queen Pomare second. The Chesterfield Cup to Lothario, Ajax, or Wine sour, with a slight preference for the former. The match between Lady Anna and Lady Trampoline will be won by the former. The Maidstone Stakes to Lord G. Bentinck or the Duke of Richmond. With this race closes the first race meeting in the universe.—l am, Sir, &c., Saturday. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. TIIE EFFECTS OF THE LATH DUKE OF SUSSEX.— On Thursday the sale of the residue of the effects of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was commenced by Messrs. Christie and Manson, at their rooms in King.street, St. James's. The co lection consists of jewellery, trinkets, and articles of vertu, minia tures, enamels, engravings, drawings, gems, &e. Many of the lots, of which there are nearly 500, were curious and valuable. Among the lots sold on Thursday the following were deserving of notice:—The Knights Templars' state sword and belt, with extra crimson velvet scabbard and shield-belt, worn by the late Duke as grand prior of the order, the hilt, buckles, and mountings being of massive gold, most beautifully chased, was bought by Messrs. Town and Emanuel, of Bond-street, for 1351. A pair of very massive chased gold spurs, modelled after an original Templar's spur, was sold for 521. A curious rosary of cornelian beads, gold mounted, fetched five guineas. A mahogany case, containing a set of pipes and tobacco canisters, said to have belonged to Lord Byron, sold for 7s. The Oxford Bible of 1828, in a richly embossed silver outer binding, sold for 71. 12s. 6d. Another similarly bound Bible fetched 9/. A beautiful little model of one of the wild cattle in Chillingharn Park was bought by Sir A. Claim for 4/. A bust of Dr. Parr, in marble, by Clarke, fetched 71 10s. ; and a small bust of Wm. IV., in wax, was bought by Colonel Fox for 31. ss. A pair of curious candlestick; in ormolu, with figures and flowers In Dresden porcelain, sold for ten guineas. A handsome tea caddy, richly inlaid with buhl, containing two cut glass caddie; mounted with silver gilt, fetched 19 guineas. The day's sale rea lized between 400/. and 5001. Among the articles for sale this day are a quantity of faire perfumes, silks, velvets, the robes of the Order. of the Beth, the Thistle ? 4g, MONDAY EVEN EXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE. One of the most prolonged arguments with respect to ,he will of a deceased wealthy baronet, has been in pro gress the greater part of the past week. Sir li. 'Termer Fust has already h ear d three civilians out of six engaged in the suit. The deceased was Sir G. H. De Apreece, Bart., and though most wealthy, it appears that he lived in a style infinitely inferior to the position in which such wealth pl ace d hi m . He had l a r ge l an d e d pro perty in Essex, in Hampshire, and other co unt i es. His freehold property is worth from 180,0001. to 190,000/, and he left a personal estate of som e thi ng short of 25,000/. F rom the pleas it appears that the baronet from his youth up was exceedingly eccentric. The will in dispute, and which is opposed by a sister (Mrs. Peacock) was executed at a fishmonger's shop in the neighbourhood of Fleet-street, the parties who were witnesses to it being entire strangers. The document, it is true, was duly attested, but it gave the prop er ty, rea l and person a l, t o S t . G eorg e's Hospital, excepting two legacies to the executors. The rental of the estates amounted to 7,800/. In bar of the validity of the will in sanity is alleged. The number of witnesses examined, and documentary evidence brought forward, is unpa ralleled, not less than seventy-four witnesses having been produced and examined upon one plea. Dr. Philli more took two days in reading and commenting upon the exhibits.—Dr. Jenner, who followed, also occupied two days with his argument in support of the paper.—Her Majesty's Advocate (Sir John Dodson) took a day and three quarters in opposition to the paper, and as Dr. Addams, who follows on the same side, desired not to have his speech split in half, the Learned Judge having intimated his intention not to sit again until the caveat day, the arguments have necessarily been postponed. If reliance is to be placed upon the immense mass of letters which have been brought forward in support of the will, unquestionably St. George's Hospital will reap a rich harvest by the distribution. But the deceased ba ronet, it appears, for years, contemplated self-destruction, and ultimately died by his own hand. He had carefully collated for years what he called a " Fact Book," in which were pasted all the accounts of murders, suicides, and dreadful accidents. From the proof that mono mania upon such subjects existed in the testator's mind, the sister of the deceased has proceeded to oppose the will. At the time of his death, Sir G. H. De Apreece was fifty-one years of age, the will being executed some years before. Among the arguments brought forward to prove insanity were, a constant fluctuation of intention, a degree of wilfulness in character and irritable temperament, wholly inconsistent with what <may be considered a sound state of mind, ec centricities the most remarkable, and incoheren,y , of conchl - . Take. for instance, his fury at meals, swearing at the cook . and the swrvants for viands prepared for him and subsequently eating them. On one occasion he threw a hare on the fire, took it off again, forced the leg d wn the servants b ick, saying it wa s a mouse. A vast variety of similar .eccentricities were bro ug ht f orwar d . But on the other side, the documentary eviden ce i s pro duced to show capacity. The brother of the deceased married to .the widow of Sir Humphrey fi e ta a t e tihn t et h e a re t exs t et l i e pn titohnithis family immense of named, th e testator toaapt property, r ot Davy, and from various communications produced ll sanity is sough . t to be proved. It will be perceived by this s it i s expected, will . occupy three or four days as p aebnn i r t idt i e s i l rfwe w (l il ict h dlhien w Pi:s l r i i l v c fe h left,dt h owe e was very little acquainted. Dr. counselAd for the next . of kin, and then Dr. Harding will on the same side. This will be one of the most f d o a l m i o s lv , strongly contested will causes ever brought f orwar d i n the Prerogative Court. That it will be appealed against, which ever way tee Learned Judge decides, is pretty certain. It will aff ,rd nearly as rich a harvest for the professionlegal as that gl eane d out of the estate of Mr. J. Wood, the banker of Gloucester. Sir George Murray, 'Vaster- General of the Ord nance, has, we understand, appointed Mr. Thomas Clarke, of the firm of Clarke, Fynmore, and Fl a d gate, to t h e office of i solicitor to that department, n the room of Mr. Hignett. whose name the recent ,disclosures res,)eeting the South-Eastern Railway must have made very familiar to our readers.— Observer. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. —On Friday evening, be tween the hours of five and six, the inhabitants of Bethnal green-road, near the Sahn and Ball, were thrown into a state of the, greatest alarm, in consequence of the occurrence of the fol!owingrfrightful accident t---At the tme stated above, two drays, belonging to illessrs. Whitbreads, the brewers of Chiswell-street, were returning a l ong t h e Bethnal-green-road, a steady Per son, of the name of James Kirby, of the reins of th e f ore horse, and an acquaintance Y a hrnol in adn a ' n named David R o b erts, walking at the side of ih ili fa e vhi d ins r g, a another horse, when all of a sudden one of the trains passed along the Eastern Counties Railway, and. frightening the horses, caused them to set off in a full gallop. Both Kirby and Roberts were knocked down by the dray, the head of the latter being caught by the wh ee l s, and . he was instantly ren dered senseless, and the other poor fellow had his thigh broken, and was otherwise severely injured. The horses, unrestrained, continued to dash along roost fwiously, until stopped by some way, was knocked down with great v i o l ence, b ut f ortuna t e l y twoin endeavouring to ge t o ut of the men were quickly removed to t eo h sfe e at L hp o ee r d i p London Hospital, T .A and lhae d ;ery favourable hopes are entertained of Kirby's recovery; but up on i nquiry being made, at nine o'clock last night, at the hospital, as to the state of Roberts, it was almost impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive. SMUGGLING.—A seizure having; been made on board a vessel recently arrived in the port of London from Jersey and Guernsey, of a large number of paper parcels of cigars and cheroots, which had been ingeniously concealed within a tin casing around the interior of some empty barrels, portions of which had been hollowed out to admit the packages within the casing, as well as to take off the additional weight of the same ; the Commissioners of Customs have given directions to the revenue officers at all the ports of the United Kingdom to be apprised thereof, and to be enjoined to use their best endeavours to detect and prevent any smuggling which may be attempted by similar means, taking care to acquaint the Board with any matter that may arise fit for their cognizance. The goods in the instance alluded to were concealed in a very ingenious and secret manner, and not hi ng but a certain amount of information in the m a t ter f urnished to, or a very great degree of acute ness and application on the part of, the revenue officers, could g have possibl y caused the discovery- FATAL RESULTS OF INTOXICATION.—On Friday forenoon Mr. Wakley, 11.1 3 , held an inquest at the Prince George o f Cumberland, Frederick-street, Portland -town, on the body o f M ary Smith, aged 43, widow of a colour sergeant, and ab out to be married to a man named Hodder, a butler, cut of pl ace . It appeared that both parties, particularly the latter, were addicted to habits of intoxication. They went out together on Wednesday last, and as they were returning home in the e ven i ng, any witness, fell over the deceased by - som e means not accounted for by railings of the 11.1acclefield-bridge near the nort h gate of the Regent's-park. She fell a distance of twenty- s i x f eet, fatally injured her spine, and died in about two hou rs . H er intended husband was so drunk, that though he nos with deceased, he could give no explanation as to how she got over the bridge. The coroner said he was of opinion, though th e evidence did not justify it, that deceased, rendered desperate by th e prospect of being married to a drunkard, and being a l so over excited by the brid ge. An open liquor at the time, threw herself verdict, however, would be the safest. A or said the d ecease d' s f ormer h us b an d, a co l our sergeant, had been re d uced to the ran k s f or a b sent i ng hi mse lf from his regiment to go i n quest of her, who had absconded from him, and that i n consequence he died last November in Winchester barracks of a broken heart. Verdict, " Died from a fall, but how the fall was caused there was no evidence to_ prove." SEVEN P ERSONS POISONED.—A Correspondent at Lut t e rworth inform s us, that on Thursday afternoon, at Shawell, a village in the ne i ghbourhood, Mrs. Gilbert, four of her children, and two se rvants were poisoned by eating a fruit pudding. Sur geons from L utterworth were sent for, who found two of the parties in a dang erous state, but the rest are likely to recover. By what means the p o i son go (into the pudding was not known more c vie ' Alf ttIINC IIMAN'S PATE.

Th e lif e o f Roger Bacon displays great research, and f rom an ex tract HenryHa Chaucer, , II and., l e l r i aln Bacon, ofy k it is evid en t th a t h e given from his Opus M/..j f was not only centuries in ad vance of his own time, but even in some respect s i n advance of the present. The following is the ex`‘ract to which we allude : , 6 Most students have no worthy exercise for their heads, and therefore languish and stupefy upon bad translations, which lose them both time and money. Appearances alone rule them, and they care not what they know, but what they are thought to know by a senseless multitude. There are four principal stumbling blocks in the way of arriving at knowled ge — aut h or i ty, habit, appearances as they present themselves to the vulgar eye, and concealment of ignorance combined with ostentation of knowledge. Even' if the first three could be got over by some great effort of reason, the fourth remains ready. Men presume to teach before they have learnt, and fall into so many errors, that the idle think themselves happy in comparison ; and hence both in science and in common life we see a thousand falsehoods for one truth. And this being the case, we must not stick to what we hear and read, but must examine most strictly the opinions of our ancestors, that we may add what is lacking, and correct what is erroneous, but with a ll modesty and allowance. W e must, with all our , prefer reason to cus t om, and the opinions of the good to the percepti ons of the vulgar ; anti we strength d t use the triple ar gument ; that is to say, this m h wst a iru s sesen been laid down, this has been usual, this has been common, therefore it is to be held by. For the very opposite conclusion does much better follow from the p rem ises. And though the whole world be possessed by these causes of error, let us freely hear opinions con trary to established usage." This is the germ of the philosophy 'of Bacon's more celebrated namesake, and reads like a passage from the " Novum Organurn." No. 55, is the first volume of Mrs. Jameson's " Lives of the early Italian Painters," and is profusely illustrated with woodcuts; and No. 56 is an admirable critical account of Racine, and the French Classical drama, by Madame Blaize Bury. It is a work that every student of French literature should read attentively, and that every dramatic artist should study.

This being the day appointed for the trial of the prisoners charged with piracy and murder on the high seas, the greatest excitement prevailed, and euriosity was wound up to the highest pitch to get a sight of the prisoners. The outer court gates were kept closed, in order to prevent too great a rush into the castle avenues ; and the upper part of Castle -street was densely crowded with persons, many of them respentably attired females, desirous to obtain admission. In the interior of the Castle additional barriers were erected in the part de voted to the public, to prevent too great a rush of persons ; and, for the accommodation of the reporters of the public press, an additional te m p orary d es k was erected. The prisoners were thus described in the calendar :—Fran cisco Fereira de Santa Servo, aged 39,able to read and write well ; Janees Majaval, aged 22, imperfect education ; Manuel Josi Alves, aged 23, imperfect education ; Florenco Ribeiro, aged 30, imperfect education ; Juan Francisco, aged 35, no edu cation ; Jozi Mari Martinos, aged 33, imperfect education ; Antonio Joaquim, aged 25, no education ; Sebastian de San tos, aged 26, imperfect education ; Manvil Antonio, aged 22, no education; and Joze Antonio, aged IS, no education. The charge against them was for having, on the 3d day of March last, on the high seas off Lagos, in the Bay of Benin, on the west coast of Africa, wilfully murd ere d Th omas P a l mer, mid shipman of her ajesty's ship Wasp, and James Mullins, George Goddin, Thomas Barfoot, James Mitchell, Thomas Gould, James Beynon, and Edward Marshall, able and ordi nary seamen of the same ship. They were further charged with piracy on the high seas. Majavil, the alleged and actual murderer of Mr. Palmer, was placed next the jury. Though cook of the vessel, he had rather a romantic air, and was decidedly the most prepossessing man of the party—he might have passed for an every-day copy of one of Byron's sea ruffian heroes. Next to him stood Serva, the projector of the bloody tragedy, according to the testimony of Cuqueira. Majaval had on him the attire of his vessel. Serva's doubloons had enabled him to array himself in English clothing. A new black coat, a clean white shirt, and superior new clothing generally, marked his station as skipper of the gang, even in the dock. There was something inexpressibly sinister in his countenance, especially when he turned down his face and appeared to be endeavouring to look placid and re signed to those evils which good men in this world are doomed to encounter. If scoundrel and hypocrite, ruffian and sneak, were not written in his visage, foul passions and foul feelings were never yet depicted in the human face divine. The other prisoners were a motley group —more or less tanned by the African sun, or skin-dyed by the African blood which, not unmingled with European, flowed in their veins. They were roughly clad in wild sailor fashin—wild anti lawless enough of aspect; but their countenances did not betray that ferocity which might have been expected from their bloody outburst. At nine o'clock precisely Mr. Baron PLATT entered the Court, and the proceedings immediately commenced. The pri soners were then placed at the bar. The case for the prosecution was conducted by Mr. Godson, Q. C., Mr. Cockburn, Q. C., Mr. A. Heyward, Q. C, and Mr. Poulden ; attorney, Mr. Eastlake, solicitor to the Ad miralty, Plymouth. The defence was conducted by Mr. Sergeant Manning and Mr. Collier ; attorney, Mr. Edmonds, of Plymouth. About a quarter to nine the counsel and attorneys engaged in the case entered the Court, and about the same time J. C. Sercombe, Esq., the Spanish Consul for this city, and F. Hirtzel, Esq., the Portuguese Consul, Captain Martin, of Ply mouth, who was to act as interpreter for the prisoners —followed by Mr. Bellamy, of Plymouth, clerk in the mercantile house of Fox, Sons, and Co., of Plymouth, who appeared to act as inter preter to the Crown. It was expected that one or both of the Consuls-General for Spain and Portugal would have come from London to be present ; but neither of them was in Court. Copies of the jury panel were handed to the attorneys for the prosecution and defence, by Mr. Horne, that they might be prepared to challenge when the jury came to be sworn. Mr. Serjeant IVAN/sirs° demanded a mixed jury on behalf of the prisoners, for which the Under .sheriff had made provi sion, by summoning the various foreign residents of the neigh bourhood. Mr. Bellamy was now sworn as interpreter for the Crown. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Now, interpreter, tell them that they stand indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Palmer, on the high seas, on board a vessel called the Felicidade, on the 2d of March last, by Janees Majaval striking him and stabbing him with a knife, giving him a mortal wound upon the belly; that the other prisoners ( who were named) were present at the time. The second count charged them with causing his death by drowning. The charge against the prisoners was interpreted to them as it was read by Mr. Horne. On the first count being read and interpreted, Mr. Horne inquired if that was sufficient ; but Mr. Sergeant Manning, for the prisoners, required that the second count should be gone through, which was formally done. Mr. Sergeant MANNING—Before these prisoners plead to this indictment, it is necessary for me to say, your Lordship, that I consider the indictment is bad in point of form, and that, under advice, they have demurred to the indictment. The JUDGE-DO the counsel for the prosecution join in the demurrer ? These having replied in the negative, Tiie JunGE—The proper time to take the objection would have been after conviction ; but, in this case, you must take it before the plea. Mr. Sergeant MANNING then cited a case from 3 Carrington and Payne's Reports, p. 425, to show the course of proceeding. In the case he cited—it being questioned whether a particular count in an indictment for felony was not bad, upon demurrer upon an objection, the Learned Judge, in the case referred to, directed, to save the public time, that the case should be pro ceeded with, and, in the case of conviction, the prisoner shouid have the benefit of arguing the point afterwards. The JUDGE —For what purpose do you cite this, Sergeant Manning? You have already demurred. lam ready to hear Your argument ; I do not want a case to tell me that I should do so. Mr. Sergeant MANNING—Very well, my Lord. The ob jection is this. The verdict states--." That the prisoners, with force and arms, upon the high seas, in and upon one Thomas Palmer, in the peace of God and our Lady the Queen, then being in a certain vesrel, known as the Felicidade, did feloni ously and wilfully make an assault." Now, this being a statu table offence, I submit that this indictment should have con cluded contra formam statutis. The JUDGE—What is the statute that makes murder upon the high seas a statutable offence ? Mr. Sergeant MANNING—The statute of Henry VIII. The JUDGE —The statute of Henry VIII. 1 They used to treat murder as a statutable offence before tho ♦;,.. of I/or.y- Mr. Sergeant MANNING—Yes, but it was cogni,ebie 1, 7 th. Civil Court prior to that; and not now being a cognisable offence at common law, it is incumbent on the prosecutor to allege that this offence was committed against the form of the statute. Mr. COLLIER—The definition, my Lord, is that the offence is committed in some county in this realm, in rerum natures within the peace. Then, not being committed in any county, it is clear that if it is cognisable it is cognisable by some statute; and if by any statute, it is necessary to aver that the offence was against the statute. The JuncE—lt appears to me that this crime of murder upon the high seas was cognisable by the Lord High Admiral before the statute of Henry VIII. The statute of Henry VIII. was passed for the purpose of amending the law, and declaring that the mode of trial should be according to the common law of this realm, by which means, those who were to be tried should be entitled to a jury. Since that time an Act of Parliament has been passed for the purpose of directing where the Lord High Admiral should hold his sessions. The trial is, therefore, to be taken before a jury. The crime re mains the same, and is not touched by any statute. The interpreter now put the question to Majaval. Interpreter—He says he is not guilty of anything of the kind. The fourth prisoner said that the magistrates and the bench must decide whether he was guilty or not. Clerk of Arraigns—Tell him he must answer. Mr. COLLIER (prisoner's counsel)—This interpreter speaks Spanish—they don't understand him, for they are Portuguese. The interpreter told them all to rise, and they did so. He said, " You see, my Lord, they all understand me." JUDGE—They do not make any difficulty about it. All the prisoners now pleaded Not Guilty. The following were now called on the PETTY JURY—Richard Veale, James Gill, William New ton, tun., Henry Manley, Thomas Tout, William Rendle. Fo reigners—Francis Duval, Francis Adolphe Aleschisker, Joseph Viviani, Paul Courti, Anselm Speigelhader, Matthias Brown. They were then severally sworn to try the prisoners on the charge for the mstrder of Thomas Palmer, Janees Majaval, as principal, and the others aiding and abetting. Jar. Godson addressed the jury for the prosecution. The same witnesses who were examined at Plymouth were then called, and repeated the evidence which they gave on that occasion, and which has recently appeared in exteoso in the co lutnns of The Sun. The trial * lasted over the whole of Thurs day and Friday. The Counsel for the prisoners having severally addressed the jury— 'fhe Learned JUDGE summed up. He commenced by stating that the ten prisoners stood charged with a very heinous offence, and which required their patient attention. He was clearly of opinion the prisoners must be treated as Brazilians, because sailing under the Brazilian flag; if this was not the case, then an American crew might navigate a Brazilian slaver, and carry on in her that trade which had been de clared piracy, and be irresponsible. The Felicitade was a piratical vessel, and liable to be boarded by her Majesty's cruisers, and the crew treated as pirates. The vessel having been so taken, ceased to be a Brazilian vessel, and must be considered as one of the boats of the Wasp. As such she had taken another vessel, the Echo, as a piratical vessel, and he was bound to tell them that that too was a legal capture, and the captors were legally on hoard of her, and within the peace of the Queen. The vessel was then the do minion of her Majesty, and if during that period any English man had murdered a foreigner on board of her, he would be liable to be hanged, according to the EnOish laws. His Lord- ship concluded a very impressive charge, which lased upwards of two hours, by solemnly imploring the jury to do their duty, however painful it might be, and regardless of the consequence. They held the scales of justice, in a matter of life and death, and they must exercise it calmly and dispassionately. The jury, after a short consultation, asked to retire. After an absence of three-quarters of an hour the jury returned, the prisoners were then brought in, and the Learned Judge having take, his seat— The Clerk of Arraigns—Gentlemen of the jury, are you all agreed in your verdict? The Foreman—Yes. Do you find Janees Majaval Guilty or Not Guilty ? The Foreman—Guilty. The same question and answer was put and given with re spect to Francisco Serva, Maria Jose Alves, Fiorenco Ribeira, Juan Francisco, Jose Maria Martino., and Antonia Joaquim, who were all severally Pronounced Guilty. Manuel Antonio, Joze Antonio, and Sebastian De Santos were each pronounced Not Guilty ; an intense interest reigned throughout the Court. In reply to a question through Sergeant Manning, the Jury said they convicted on the third count, for drowning, Ste. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Have you anything to say why the Court should not award judgment? Majaval (through the interpreter) —I have nothing to say more than one thing, that all they have sworn to is false. The others, with the exception of Jose Francisco and Alves, said nothing. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to pass sentence of death. You have been all found guilty, after a most careful trial, by a verdict of the jury —a jury who have exhibited feel inga which do them high honour—who, notwithstanding the bloody deed out of which this investigation prises, have dealt with every mercy and considerate attention for you: protection. They have sifted the evidence and the testimony of the wit nesses with that care which their duty called for, and which have been pre-eminently exhibited upon this melancholy occa sion. Although none of you shed a tear for yourselves, they shed tears over your misfortunes. ( Majay.d shook his head in c •edulously. ) They are tears which are honourable to their Chri.;tian feelings, but this is not a case for tears; the justice of the Country must be vindicated with all its severity, although it will extend to you more time for preparation than you gave to +hose unfortunate men to meet their end, You were engaged in sn odious traffic, iennthr;.+l by all the Christian powers of Euroi.e. You were engaged in bfeaking the law, which had been passed between your own nation and this coun try ; and in order to extricates yourselves from the consequences of that wicked course, you did not flinch from elding Chris -044 Wind. " Wilosq sheddinil TOW. blood, bil an shall 114 blood be shed." And that passage which we should all have in memory, and close to our hearts, will be carried out in execution against you all. In dealing in this guilty traffic, you might have submitted to the power by which you were captured. But this rebellion against that power, amounted to the crime of piracy itself. The particular offence, however, of which you are found guilty, and for which you will suffer, is the deprivation of life.—depriving this unhappy you ng man o f hi s l i fe by the cowardly and dastardly wounds dealt behind upon this poor young man. His blood is rising up for justice, and deinands that the ministers of justice should visit your offence with the utmost punishment. The sentence of the Court upon you and each of you is, that for this fo u l mur d er , o f w hi ch you have been respectively found guilty, you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence, at the usual time, you be conveyed to the place of execution, and that there you be hung respectively by the neck until you be dead. An awful scene of consternation ensued among the prisoners. Serva maintained his placidity to the end, but his heart ap peared to die within him. They were all removed handcuffed. The three who were acquitted will be discharged. MIDLAND CIRCUIT —Nottingham, July 26. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Baron POLLocx - . ) John Fearn Webster was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding William Watkin son , in the parish of Basford, with intent to murder him or do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Macauley prosecuted, and Mr. Flood defended the pri soner. From the evidence, it appeared that in the month of April last, the prisoner attempted to drive a cart through a garden in the occupation of the prosecutor. The latter laid hold of the horse's head and attempted to push him back, when the pri soner took up a spade and struck him upon the head, by means of which he was for a considerable time rendered insensible, and otherwise seriously injured. The charge with intent to murder was abandoned, and the question now was, was the as sault committed with the intent to inflict grievous bodily harm. Upon cross-examination, it appeared that there was some dis pute as to the right of the toad. The CHIEF BARON thought at any rate the evidence as to the commission of the common assault could not be resisted. Mr. FLOOD concurred with his Lordship, but he thought he might put in evidence by way of mitigation. He would prove that a road had been actually staked out. The CHIEF BARON directed the jury to find a verdict for the common assault ; and sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. ( Before Mr Justice MAur.r. ) Richard Searson, Henry Rouse, and Samuel Morrison, stood indicted for having. on the night of the 9th day of March last, burglariously entered the dwelling -house of John Bailey, in the parish of Bingham, and stolen therefrom a quantity of cloth, waistcoat pieces, hats, and other articles, his property. Searson pleaded guilty, and was admitted as a witness against the other prisoners, who were said to be reputably connected in that part of the county from which they came. Mr. Wilmore conducted the prosecution, Mr. Miller de fended the prisoner Morrison, and Mr. Macauley appeared on behalf of Rouse. It appeared that on the night in question the shop of the prosecutor was opened by the door being bored by a bracebit, and property was carried off to the amount of between 401. and 50/. According to the statoment of Searson, the approver, the prisoner Rouse came to him and said that he and Morrison were going down to Bingham to get into Bailey's shop, and they wanted him to accompany them. At first he refused, but afterwards consented. They went together, and arrived near the shop about twelve o'clock. Morrison went a little higher up the street, he (Searson) stood on the opposite side of the road, and Rouse bored a hole in the shop door with a brace bit. Morrison had in his possession a pistol, and Rouse had another. The latter prisoner borrowed a knife from him, with which he cut out the wood between the holes bored in the door, and afterwards made off. Searson stated that the property was afterwards divided between them, and mentioned meeting a person named Stokes when on their return from Bailey's house. His story was materially corroborated by other witnesses called for the prosecution. Mr. MILLER and Mr. MACAULEY severally addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were all three (Searson included) sentenced to ten years' transportation. The assizes terminated at eight o'clock, the whole business of the county of Nottingham having occupied only ten hours ! NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Durkarn, July 25. Mr. Baron Rolfe arrived in Durham last evening, and the assizes have commenced here this day. Both the Learned Judges were sitting at York until yesterday afternoon. Mr. Justice Cresswell remained till the middle of to-day, when all the causes were disposed of but four; those, by arrangement, are remanets to the next assizes. Mr. Baron Rolfe having arrived at the Durham station, was conducted thence by the Sheriff of the county to the Court-house, where the commission was immediately opened. His Lordship then went to the Castle, to the judges' apart ments there. This morning, after attending Divine service, he proceeded to the Crown Court, and the business of the as sizes was entered upon. There are 20 causes on the civil side, and 39 prisoners for trial. Of the persons named in the calendar one is to be tried for murder, one for manslaughter, two for rape, one for bur glary and a tt empte d murder, one for throwing boiling water with intent to do grievous bodily harm, three for robbery attended by violence, two for concealing the birth of children, three for burglary, seven for stealing from the person, 19 for larceny, four for receiving stolen goods, one for coining, one for for gery, and one for instigating to compound felony. The Learned JUDGE, in his charge to the grand jury, made some observations respecting the case of Goule, charged with shooting his wife at Durham, and also touching the general state of crime in this county at the present time. His Lordship said :—" Generally speaking, the cases do not present any de gree of enormity, but are merely such as your duties as magis trates will have made you familiar with, so far as their principles are concerned. No observations of mine, therefore, could be of essential service to you as far as relates to these cases There is, however, one general observation which I cannot abstain from making—that in a calendar containing 40 names, or there abouts, one-half, or more than half,: have not received the most elementary rudiments of education—for about one half can neither read nor write at all ; and, besides that, more than three-fourths have received so slight an education that they scarcely know more than their letters. Now, that observation cannot but suggest to you, and to every one, the expediency of encouraging, by all possible means, the general and more extensive diffusion of educa tion, as a means of diminishing crime. It would be absurd to suppose that because all men were educated they would abstain from being guilty of offences; but when one sees the composition of this calendar, and when one witnesses the same thin, in the cale n d ar o f ot h er counties—that the great mass of mailers are tno se woo nave reeeiveu no enucatioxf ai an, the matter is no longer a mere question of theory, but proves, by a sort of positive demonstration, that to extended education we must ultimately be indebted for any great diminution of crime. Turning from that general observation to the particular cases in the calendar, it seems to me that at least one-half of them have arisen since the last sessions, and that, had the sessions intervened, a very large proportion of them would have been tried at the sessions. I cannot see that there is anything in the cases which indicates any great depravity existing in the county at the present time. There are, however, two un fortunate cases, in which persons have lost their lives, and which present some features which may require one or two observations. With regard to one case, that of Louis Henry Goule, although it is stated here (in the calendar) that he has been committed on a charge of manslaughter, it will be my duty to direct you to charge him wi'h the crime of murder ; because, according to the depositions, it seems to me that there is nothing in the case to warrant that extension of the law which could mitigate his offence to the charge of manslaughter. The distinction between murder and manslaughter I need hardly point out to you. Murder is the deliberate and preme ditated act of the party ; manslaughter is when the act is the effect of a sudden impulse. There are other circumstances that may justify —or, if not absolutely justify, at least mitigate —the offence in the eye of the law. Now, among these cir cumstances, it has always been held, that it would reduce the crime to manslaughter—it is stated in the law books as pro bable, though it is perhaps a case which does not happen once in a century—that if a person finds his wife in the act of com mitting adultery,—it is said, in that case, if a man, on the impulse of the moment, were to put to death the adulterer, that would be an act which the law would consider manslaughter, not murder. But in this case, although I see from the deposi tions that there has been some jealousy, or suspicion, on the part of the person charged, yet I cannot perceive anything which calls for an extension of the law to reduce the offence to manslaughter; because here it would appear that there was nothing at all but a man having conceived, truly or untruly, some feeling of jealousy as to the conduct of his wife, a cer tain party passing by in the street at the time when they had some words about it, his wife determining to go out and call that party in, and then the prisoner drawing from his pocket a loaded pistol and shooting her, and not having succeded, as he thought, with that, he fired at her again. Now, in the first place, unless it can be otherwise explained. the fact of a man going armed with pistols would ibe perfectly conclusive that this would be an act of murder. Unless it can be shown that it was by accident that he had those pistols with him —and I might even go the length of saying, that if the man even went with the expectation of finding his wife in the act of adultery, prepared to put to death the adulterer, that then the offence would unquestionably be murder. It is not necessary to adopt that hypothesis ; but, considering what the principle of law is, which looks on the offence of homicide with a mitigating eye, I cannot see that it applies to a person who goes deli berately prepared and in anticipation of what is likely to be the result, and therefore acts deliberately —the circumstance which reduces the crime, in such a case, to manslaughter, being that a party is acting on the sudden impulse of the mo ment, and what the law thinks he has not the opportunity of resisting. Such a case cannot apply where a person goes de liberately armed ; but, however, no such casuistry need he applied to this case, because there was no act of adultery, nor anything like such an act ; and the indictment will therefore be brought before you in a different form from that in which it apaears in the calendar." Cuthbert Macdonald (24), Cuthbert Pratt (21), William Bata (30), were severally charged with having, at the parish of Wingate Grange, on the 4th of July inst., feloniously stolen from the person of Thomas Earnshaw 11. 7s. 2d., a knife, and other articles, his property. Mr. defended Fethenwick prison app e rs eared for th e p rosecut i on, and Mr. Gran ger . The facts of the case were shortly these : The prosecutor, an old man, lives at Wheatley -hill Plantation, near Wingate Grange, and on the night of the 4th of July, between ten and eleven o'clock, he went into a public-house, near Wingate, kept by a person named John Anderson. The three prisoners, with o w t h h o e r s s , e e w m e e r e d a sittinglso to drinking biibnedthteo h s o o m u s e e , e a x n t d e n t t h , e a f p t e r o r s s e t c a u y t i o n r g , some time, proceeded in the direction of his own house. On the road the prisoners came up to him, threw him down, kicked him, and succeeded in robbing him of his money, which con sisted of sovereign, 7s. in silver, and 2d. in copper, Earnshaw suffering so severely from the ill_treatment he received that he was able to crawl but a short distance towards his house. He lay there, out of doors, all night, and was found the next day iiy a person passing along. He partly came to himself now and then, but had not sufficient sense and strength to get home unaided. The prosecutor underwent a long cross. examination, which did not materially alter the purport of his examination in chief, though it showed that he had been at several public• houses in the course of the day, and was of course somewhat intoxicated. When apprehended, Baty said it was a bad job, and he did not care how soon he was out of the country. Several persons were called by the defending Counsel to show that the old man had drank too much before the robbery to be able to identify the prisoners. But the defence did not succeed on that ground, the witnesses stating only that he had had two or three glasses of beer, as far as they could observe, and that be was sensible when he departed towards home. The jury remained three hours in deliberation, and finally found all three of the prisoners Guilty. Pratt asserted after the trial that Macdonald was not pre sent, but that another man, now at Wingate, was. The pri soner Macdonald evinced deep grief, and declared his innocence as to the robbery: The Learned JUDGE told him it was for the jury to decide that question. It was not his (the judge's) province row to interfere. He had but to put the law in force. The offence committed was of a very serious kind, and must be severely punished, The three prisoners were then sentenced, each to be trans ported fur the term of 15 years. --- Viscount Canning left town on Saturday fbr Panshanger, Herts, the seat of Earl Cowper.
