Within a few hours' sail of the coast of Italy upon the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, lies a tract of country which, though surrounded by the most powerful military empires of antiquity and of mo dern times, has never been wholly conquered, and though within reach of the commerce, the culture, and the wealth of Greece and Italy, has never been civilised. The ridges of the Albanian mountains have been. inhabited from time immemorial, by a fiery and independent race of highlanders, whose only pursuits are those of pastoral life, and whose chief passion is the use of arms. Their martial habits have, indeed, secured to them a sort of in dependence, even under the despotism of the Ot toman Empire. As long as the Venetians held the coast of the Adriatic, several free Christian com munities, Self-gOverned and self-defended, main tained close relations of amity with the Republic of St. Mark. It was not till a much later period that the interesting little States of Sul and of Parga sank under the barbarity of Ali Pasha, of Joannina---a name which will recal to our elder readers the in terest with which this region was regarded about 30 years ago. The powers which were afterwards to recognise and establish the independence of the present kingdom of Greece, had, in 1815, consigned these small States to destruction ; and, in succeed ing to the dominions of irtegiteosU the -Dalmatian coast, Austria fo rsoo k the cause of those Christian communities which had been upheld for ages against the Turk. . , Somewhat more to the north, in the recesses of the mountains included between the Pashalic of Scutari, the Herzegowine, and the Austrian fron tier at the Bocca di Cattaro, there still remains one of the most independent and the most warlike of these mountain clans. The district of Montenegro (for it is to that we refer) does not exceed 50 miles in length by 30 in breadth. Its mountains are darkened with pine forests. The country is ill adapted for agricultural purposes, wild, and desti tute of roads. The inhabitants are armed shep herds, living with their flocks, ready for plunder, delighting in war. They are a pure Slavonian race, retaining their primitive manners, professing for the most part the faith of the Greek Church, and go verned to the present day by their own patriarchal institutions. The Court of Russia has more than once testified a strong interest in this singular people, and has addressed friendly communications to their Wladika, or chief, under the pretext of their common religion. The most important family of the country seems to be that of Petrovitsch, one of whom, Peter Petrovitsch, exercised great authority in the tribe from 1770 to 1830, and his descendants figure in the recent occurrences which now attract our attention to this subject. Attacks have frequently been made on Montenegro in earlier times by the Turkish Pashas of Scutari, but in vain - and since 1797, th e very year i n which the Republic of Venice was overthrown, the complete independence of th e t r ib e h as been admitted by the Porte. The strength of the native population may amount to about 20,000 warriors, for every man is practised in the use of arms ; but besides the actual population of Montenegro, properly so ca ll e d , a considerable numb er of families of the same race have gradually settled in the neighbouring Turkish provinces of Bosnia, the Herzegowine, and Scutari, who retain a near connexion with their kinsmen and their birthplace, and may possibly extend over a much wider field the hostilities which have broken out in Montenegro. • . We are not yet in possession o f any clear and certain account of the origin of this contest ; but we are informed by the German papers that a con siderable expedition against Montenegro was already in preparation by the Porte, when the mountain eers, becoming aware of their danger, pounced on the dismantled fort of Zabljak, drove out the feeble Turkish garrison, left 1,200 of their own men in the place, and so began the war. It can hardly be sup posed that these highland shepherds, who have no artillery, and but little of the material of war, would thus have braved the military power of Tur key without very strong motives or apprehensions. Certain it is, that within a short time of this occur rence and, indeed, -befctre c iit—oould -he—known a t Constantinople, the Porte has proceeded to put in motion forces, both by sea and land, which seem strangely out of proportion to the enemy they are to encounter. A squadron of Turkish men-of war, said to be commanded by the Captain Pasha in person, has entered the Adriatic, and a blockade of the Albani an coas t i s established' from Dulcigno to the Austrian frontier. This is, however, a sin gular measu re , f or th e coast tilt blockaded is Turkish territory. Montenegro itself is separated by a small strip of land from the sea ; and on the west it is contiguous to the Austrian territory, where, of course, the Turk s can exerc i se no di rect control. The Austrian Go vernment has, h owever, also taken measures to pre ven t the passage of war like stores. By land the preparations of the Porte are still more considerable. L arge bodies of regu lar and irregular troops are said to be concentrated in the Herzegowine, and Ismail Pasha is at Mostar, prepared to march southwards upon Stolatz and Gatzko. The Pasha of Scutari, Omar Pasha, who passes for one of the best generals in the Turkish army, was to operate on the other side of the ter ritory of Montenegro ; but upon his first attack he is said to have b een severely • handled by the enemy, and to hav e l os t 600 men. All these par ticulars are, however, still extremely vague, and we must wait for more authentic statements from the scene of action. But it is easy to perceive that whatever be the immediate result of this contest, it is calculated to raise political questions of a serious character. We are informed th a t the offer of mediation already made by the Emp eror o f Rnssia is rejected by the Porte, on the ground that the Sultan is resolved to enforce his rights against Montenegro. This may be the language of the fanatical party which has unfortunately obtained a temporary ascendancy in the Divan, but in reality the alleged rights of the Sultan on Montenegro have no existence at all, and least of all can they now be suddenly and peremptorily enforced in the present condition of Turkey and of Europe. It is by no means im probable that the movement of which Montenegro is at present the centre has much wider ramifica tions, and w a more extensive insurrecti on h as been kindled in the Turkish provinces. The R a y a h s , i n d ee d, are p e shall rin ce not s. be s urpr i se d to l earn t h at so devoid of the spirit or the means of resistance to the oppression which crushes them, that they will be the victims of these disturbances, whatever may be their result ; but the mountain tribes, of whom a part profess the Christian faith, are not to be attacked and subdued with the same impunity. The political interest of these occurrences is fur ther increased by the different views which may be taken of them by the European Powers. Will the Russian Government offer no opposition to measures taken evidently without its concurrence, and in direct hostility to a class o f C hristian sub jects of the Porte, in whom Russia has long pro fessed an especial interest ? Will France stand gonce to herself f rom entirely aloof from events affecti ng the general t p h o e li ir c policy proximityof e to East, and interesting which estin formed p ar t a region of the French Empire ? What policy will Austria, r immediately contiguous to the scene of these occur rences, be disposed to pursue ? It is premature to offer any answer to these questions, and we have yet much to learn as to the true nature and extent of the movement. But an opinion undoubtedly prevails in the East of Europe that the Turkish dominions to the south of the Danube are likely to become the scene of important events, and there is reason to fear, that the present Ministers of the Sultan are men whose only strength lies in their old Turkish violence, which, if let loose upon the Christian population of those provinces, might re enact scenes utterly intolerable to the present state of public feeling in Europe. The world has made some progress in the last 30 years, though the old Turkish party may have remained stationary ; and atrocities like those perpetrated by Ibrahim Pasha in the Morea or Ali Pasha in Albania would not be endured by Christendom.

The essential object of this treatise Is to pint out the fearful hahansequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, whi c h ve produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hooer d, and premature decay at all staes of life, than, perhaps, any Man other class of disease known to modern g pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained In the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. ',rile results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself ono of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this i mportant branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and olable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these C 88438. noster-ro w; P ublished by the A uthor, and may be had of J.

DEATH OF FRANCEBCO (From the Morning Advertiser.) The Church of Rome has had another victim. To the endless list of those whose lives she has exacted, there is now to be added one of the two Madiai Francesco, who has just expired in the prison of Florence, through the combined effects of the closeness of his confinement in the dungeon to which he was consigned by Popery, and the severity of the labour to which he was subjected.

Our readers are aware of the " crime" for which the Madiai were doomed, the wife to 46, and the husband to 54, M on th s ' imprisonment and hard labour.

( the simple reading of the Bible in the privacy of their own humble abode. For that offence the husband has paid the penalty of his life. He paid it cheerfully. He never murmured nor repined at his cruel doom. That Divine Power which endowed him with strength to renounce the errors of Ro manism, enabled him, with a calmness and resigna tion which have never been surpassed, to suffer and to die for his principles. The vengeance of his priestly persecutors followed him to his dungeon, and clamoured loudly until - it got his life ; but in the midst of all his sufferings, and in the hour Of disso lution, he was happy—happier far than the Ducal Prince, or any of his Mi n i s t ers , a t w h ose i nstance the sentence was passed. It may not be known to all our readers, that the Madiai were imprisoned in a loathsome dungeon ten months before the sentence was passed on them, and that during all that time, as well as in the in tervening months, they never were permitted to see each other. To show the spirit in Which these' poor pious people met the fate to which the relent lesi spirit of the Church of Rome subjected them, we reprint the following letter, written by Rosa Madiai to her husband, on the 7th of June, the day before the sentence of 46 months' imprisonment, in a dark and dismal dungeon, with -hard labour was passed on her, an d 54 mon th s ' imprisonment' in a similar dungeon, with hard labour, passed on her husband : • "My dear Madiai,—You know that I have always loveslim but ho much more ought Ito love you now fiat we have beeri'together in the battle of the Great- King—that we have been beaten, but not vanquished. I hope that, through the merits of Jesus Christ, God our Father will have accepted our testimony, and will give us grace to drink, to the last drop, the portion of that bitter cup which is prepared for us, with returning of thanks. My good Madiai, life is only a day, and a day of grief. Yesterday we were young, to-day we are old I Nevertheless, we can say, with old Simeon 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servan t d epart i n peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation.' "Courage, my dear, since we know by the Holy Spirit that this Christ, loaded with opprobrium, trodden down and calumniated, is our Saviour • and we, by His holy light and power, are called to defend the Holy Cross, and Christ who died for us, receiving His reproaches, that we may afterwards participate in His glory. Do not fear if the punishment be hard. God, who made the chains fall from Peter, and opened the'doors of his prison, will never forget us. Keep in good spirits ; let us trust entirely in God. Let me see you cheerful, as I trust, by the same grace, you will see me cheerful. I embrace you with my whole heart. "Your affectionate wife, " ROSA MADIAL" To make any observations on such a letter would only weaken its force. Who can read it without emotion —more especially now that he to whom it is addressed is no more, while she by whom it was from dhiih it was is still inchziintsten ?in the loathsome dungeon The blood of the martyrs, we are told, is the seed of the Church. The Papal power will, we doubt not, soon be furnished with a striking proof of this. The blood of the Madiai has been shed, under circum stances of cruelty of which a demon might well be ashamed. Not only was no crime of any kind—always excepting the crime of reading the Bible—proved against the Madiai, but they were not even charged with any act of criminality. Two more inoffensive, harmless, amiable persons were not to be found in the Grand Duke's dominions. But that mattered not to the Romish Church. They did not belong to her, and that was enough. They might have committed every other crime under heaven—the greatest atrocities of which we have any record in history, —and these would all have been forgiven by the Church of Rome.; but to renounce the errors of Popery, and betake themselves to the reading of the Scriptures, were crimes too great to be forgiven by the Romish Church in this life, and, if she could help it, they would never be forgiven in the life that is to come. Not satisfied with exacting the earthly life of one of the Madiai, the Church of Rome rejoices with fiendish joy in the idea, ground less though it be, that her imprecations will follow him into the world to which she has sent him. Bnethe malignant spirit of the Romish Church has carried matters somewhat too far. She has overdone the thing. The blood of the innocent man whom she has deliberately murdered, will cry aloud throughout the whole Protestant world against the demoniacal spirit by which the Church is actuated. Those who have till now entertained the opinion —which we for a long time were anxious to entertain—that the progress of civilisation had ' considerably modified the persecuting spirit of Popery, will now be convinced of their error. The conviction will be forced upon them, that thei r charity was at var i ance w i t h the fact. They can no longer resist the force of evidence in support of the position that the Church of Rome is just as deeply imbued with the spirit of persecution as ever. The great cause of the error which prevails so largely in this country with regard to Popery is, that we do not see it in its true light. The Church of Rome is on her good behaviour in Great Britain. She is not herself. She is not allowed to show her self in her true colours. Here she is kept in due subjection. What she is, therefore, with us, is a very different thing from what she would be, were she mistress of her own actions. Why does not Popery act in London as it does in Florence Is it because the difference in the latitude of the two places makes a difference in. - the character of the system ? Assuredly not. The reason why our pri sons are not full to repletion with persons charged with the crime of reading the Scriptures is simply this,—that the Church of Rome is not in the as cendant here. Give her the same power in London ,as she possesses in Florence, and we shall have Protestants dying in their dungeons in the metro polis, because they have been found with a copy of the Bible in their possession, just as we have seen the poor Madiai expiring, under the effects of con finement and hard labour, in one of the cells of Florence. It will be a great point gained when this view of the real character of Popery shall have made its way to the Minds of those who were not prepared for its reception. In this way the mar tyrdom of Francesco Madiai will be of unspeakable service to Evangelical truth. The death of Francesco Madiai, brought about by the slow lingering process of close confinement in an unhealthy dungeon, and incessant hard la bour—of all deaths the most appalling to contem plate—will create a feeling of intense horror throughout th e c i v ili sed world. Martyrdom at the stake or on th e sca ff old, as in days of yore, when Popery, being in the ascendant in our own country, kept Smithfield in a perpetual blaze, is not nearly so formidable as the daily death for more than six months to which the poor Madiai were subjected. So that, in reality, the Church of Rome, instead of becoming less cruel, has of late refined in her cruelty. Yet this poor pious man never for one moment wavered in his resolution. He shrunk not from the certain death which stared him in the face. He met his doom with the courage of a martyr blended with th e meekness of a confessor. The future was not only disarmed of all terrors to his mind, but was arrayed in the most radiant hues. This was the fruit of his faith. So far as nature was concerned, his position and the prospect of dissolution, must necessarily have been appalling. Viewed through the usual medium, therefore, the fate of Francesco Madiai must everywhere excite emotions of mingled indignation and horror. Even some of the Roman Catholics themselves must, we are sure r shudder at what their Church has in this case done. It will inflict a heavy blow on Popery. It is a momentous fact--one pregnant with mean ing. It will do more, and go farther, to open the eyes of the public to the real character of the Romish Church in the second half of the nineteenth century than years of discussion on the theology of Romanism, or of thousands of volumes written on the Protestant side of the controversy. And never let the great fact be forgotten, that what Popery has just proved itself to be in Florence, it is everywhere. And if the fruits or manifestations of the system are not of the same kind, the mo dification is to be solely ascribed to the restraints which the civil institutions of the country impose upon it. ~-~ METROPOLITAN EXHIBITION OF POULTRY. tr- An esdrisive anlill hlt ition of ult he first that h as t a k en p l ace in t h e metropolis), w as op e ned to the public to-day, in the Bazaar in Baker-street, the same in which the cattle shows of the Smithfield Club are usually held. The exhibition was some time since announced as being intended to be held at Kennington. The greater advantages, however, afforded by the pre mises at pr esen t occupied, induced the promoters to hold the exhibition in Baker -street. A considerable amount of interest has been evinced on the part of the friends of the show, and great exertions have been made to render it as complete as possible. Formerly, when the "barn-door," or "dunghill," was the only breed known, it would have been absurd to have spoken of the advantages of an exhibition of poul trY- We have now the far-famed Cochin China, the Malays, th e S pan i sh, the Dutch, the spangled Hamburg, the Prussian, the P o li s h , t h e Barbary, the Turkish, the Dorking, the B antam, the Sussex, the Negro, the Silky, the Dwarf, the Fri4ed, th e ll ura ki n, and those other numerc as breeds, for:the nail as and qualities- of which we must re f er the reader to the exhibition in Baker street, , whi c h ie certainly one of the most interesting and complete collectiOn s of the kind Which we have yet seen. The number of entries in the show comprises about 2,000 fowls, forming by far the most extensive pre-por tion, consisting of not less than 51 classes, including the different varieties of Spanish fowls Cochin Chi na f ow l s, Dorking, Malay, gold -pencilled fowls, specimens, golden-spangled Hamburg, silver -spangled Hamburg, Poland fowl, Bantams, and any other distinct breeds. The pigeon classes are thus divided—Pouters and crop pers, carriers, dragons, almond tumblers, short-faced out beards,• short-faced tumblers, Jacobines, owls, nuns, tur bits, fantails, barbel, 'magpies, small pout ers, good fea thered flying bald heads, good feathered flying beards, good feathered flying mottles, good feathered flying tum blers, and for e i gn bi r d s. • As may be suppoSed from the extreme mania which at present prevails, the Cochin China fowls form the most prominent feature in the show. The value of good specimens -of this class appeared almost incredi ble. A pen, consisting' of 'one' cock and three hens, the property of Mr. Fairlie, of Cheveley-park, is valued at 60 guineas ; there is also one hen in the show recently imported by Mr. Catlin, for which a sum of 30 guineas - has been refused. At a sale of.a, itiparitity - s6f fowl* of this . breocklititiolilliik plac e on th4Wiigtss*P- Bakitiqtreit 102 lots, compr i s i ng 110 birds, the majority of them be t ing chickens of three or four months old, realised the sum of 3691, the highest price for a singke bird being 20 guineas. For the eggs which are laid at the show ss. and 10s. are readily obtained, and not less than eight detectives are placed in the building, whose sole duty is to see that none 'of these valuable commodities are ab stracted by visitors. It is not more than four or five years since this highly prized breed was first introduced into this country, the first specimens being sent as pre sents to her Majesty, who distributed some fowls bred from them among various persons likely to assist in pro moting their extension. The main point of difference between the Cochin China and the Malay is in the comb ; that of the Malay appears as if a portion of it had been cut off, while that of the Cochin China is of a moderate size, single, and - slightly serrated. The hen, it has been stated, " will sometimes lay two or three times in a day, and within a few moments of each other." Authenticated instances of this kind appear, however, to be wanting. There can be no doubt whatever, that in many points this breed fully deserves the high cha racter and celebrity which it has acquired, more espe cially with respect to the delicate flavour of the eggs, which are of a light chocolate colour, and the very early age at which the bird arrives at maturity. Among the novelties in the show is a pen of Scotch fowls, called " Dumfries," or " beakies, of a light speckled colour, and remarkable for the extreme short ness of their legs ; in fact, it is only by close observation that any trace of legs can be discovered. There is a pen of very beautiful Goura pigeons, and some fins specimens of Australian pigeons. The collection of ducks, geese, turkeys, and rabbits is extensive and valuable ; we must, however, refer thy reader to the list of prizes, and above all to the exhibi tion itself, for more complete information as to the numbers and qualities of the specimens which comprise this really interesting exhibition. The following is the complete list of prizes in the principal classes : • SPANISH FOWLS. Class I.—Prize 1. Capt. Hornby, Knowesly-cottage, near Preston, Lancashire ;l.

Tll4' CONVICT KIRWAN.-THE NEW CILIRGE. `DUBLIN, MONDAY.—The Ddily Express contains the following extraordinary disclosures : During the past week the greatest curiosity has been excited in the metropolis, in consequence of various rumours that gained circulation, to the effect- that Kir wan, whose sentence has been commuted to transporta tion, would be again indicted for having committed addi tional terrible crimes. Many of these reportS were com pletely- groundless, and even the statements made con cerning the new charge Actually preferred against this now notorious criminal weregrossly inaccurate. The police authorities have now numerous documents in their pos session, having taken several depositions, and are yet, engaged in making the most active inquiries into the par ticulars of the crime, or series of crimes which have been preferred against Kirwan ; , and; when some further necessary legal steps 'have beeri taken, the entire facts of the case will be laid before the public. At the present time, however, the ends of justice might be marred by a premature revelation of all the circum stances connected with this extraordinary case ; but we are yet enabled to give our readers several remarkable passages in the career of the convict during the last seventeen years, which will enable them to understand the grounds on which the preseiit indictment is being prepared. The new informations have been taken in the case of Mrs. Downes Boyer against William Bourke Kirwan and others, for conspiring to rob and murder William Downes Boyer, a minature painter. It appears that in the cirounencement of the year 1836 Mr; -- Willinva il lOgo ik s with his -life in the house No. 4, 11 . house M'Oahljaytial'ea, and' that'urfir that period, having been married upwards of 20 years, they lived on terms of the most mutual affection. Mr. Boyer was a minature painter, and had a collection of valuable pictures and other works of art. He became acquainted with Kirwan in the month of May, 1836, and frequently invited him to. his house ; and at this period Kirwan resided in Parnell-place, and also occupied two top rooms in the house of Mr. Walsh, the dyer in South King-street, where he carried on the profession of ana tomical draughtsman, but was principally occupied in colouHng the Ordnance survey maps for the Dublin Government agents. About October, 1836, he induced Mr. Boyer to pay a visit to his house, and his father and himself, together with two sisters, one of whom has since died, it is alleged entered into a conspiracy to destroy the life of the old artist, who was then upwards of sixty years of age, and to get possession of his property which was considerable. When Mr. Boyer had been about three weeks residing with Kirwan (who during this period en deavoured, with too much success, by every means to alieniate him from his wife, by concocting unjust and un founded accusations against her), the letter persuaded the old man to consent to hand all his property, includ ing his bank book, containing receipts for lodgments to the amount of 2,5001., over to him ; and these were transferred to Kirwan's house in Parnell-place, from whence they were subsequently removed to Fleet-street, and from thence to D'Olier-street. The manner in which the pictures, furniture, and other property were removed from Mountjoy-street, where Mr. Bowyer's wife resided, is not the least remarkable feature in the case. Kirwan and seven or eight of his companions proceeded, between the hours of one and two o'clock in the morn ing, to the residence of Mrs. Bowyer, to which they gained admission on the plea that they had been sent by her husband ; the lady and her servant girl were locked up by them in one of the apartments, and the house was completely gutted of every article of value. For this burglarious offence Kirwan was prosecuted and tried be fore the Recorder, and was acquitted on a technical point of law. At this time Kirwan had in his employ ment several young men, some of whom he took out of the Royal Dublin Society's schools, and engaged at mere trifling salaries to colour maps, and it is well known that, when unable or unwilling to liquidate the lawful demands that these assistants made against him for payment, he used to 'plead his poverty, and state that he wished to act honourably, but that his means did not permit him. In the year 1837, fresh proceedings were threatened by the friends of Mrs. Bowyer, which, how ever, were compromised, a deed of separation executed, and an annuity settled upon her, which has been regu larly paid by Mr. Vincent, the solicitor ; but from this period, and, in fact, for several months antecedent to it, Mrs. Boyer had never been able to see her husband, or to hear where he was residing. The amount yearly re ceived by the lady was 401. About this time, it is also asserted, that he seduced the servant girl who attended him in Walsh's house. In the same year (1837) Kirwan seduced a female connected with a highly respectable family, a Miss Jones, and after living with her for some short period he abandoned her, and left her in a very destitute con dition in Holyhead. This girl was since in Dublin, and died in a wretched condition a short time since. Imme diately on Kirwan's departure this unfortunate young woman became ill, and was confined to her bed for a period of seven months ; and, it was generally believed that her ill health was occasioned by recourse having been had to unfair means. On Kirwan's return to Dublin, Mr. Jones, a brother to the female in question, waited on him, and demanded an explanation of his con duct, with which demand Kirwan refused to comply, neither would he consent to a hostile meeting. Mr. Jones, finding that he could obtain satisfaction in no other manner, had a l arge num b er of placards printed and 'posted throughi Dublin, in which he gave a con densed sketch of Kirwin's life, and denounced him as a coward, a poltroon, and a hypocrite, and made use of other language of a violent nature. Kirwan employed several parties, his father and sisters amongst the number, to tear down these offensive publications, thinking by this simple means to destroy the evidence of his former conduct. Mr. Jones, however was not contented with th us p u bli s hi ng an account of his wrongs, but watched Kirwan, and severely horsewhipped him. For this offence Kirwan prosecuted his assailant to con viction, but such was the impression on the Court, that it considered the law was fully satisfied by the verdict, and merely sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned until the rising of the court. It is as well to remark that the sessions were adjourned before half an hour had expired. About this time Mrs. Boyer made frequent applica tions at Kirwan's residence for information about her husband, but was told on each occasion by the convict that he did not know where Boyer was residing. In the commencement of 1839 she became more solicitous about him, and insisted upon ascertaining where he was living, or if he had left the country, and she was charged for annoyance by Kirwan's father ; and when the case came before the magistrates, and the peculiar nature of the transaction was explained, the charge was dismissed. This occurred on several occasions, and the cases were heard by different magistrates ; but when they ascer tained that the annoyance arose from the natural fact of a wife making inquiries concerning her husband the complaints were dismissed. In the year 1840 Mrs. Boyer obtained an interview with the Rev. Mr. Nixon, and that gentleman called upon Kirwan, but he refused to give any explanation, and denied that Mr. Boyer had ever resided with him, and all knowledge of him, although previous to that date and ever since the annuity has been regularly paid to Mrs. Boyer by Mr. Vincent, who has never yet asserted that Mr. D. Boyer was dead. During this year (1839) Kirwan's sister (who has since died) appeared much confused when asked about Mr. Boyer, and stated, after some searching questions had been put to her, that she had never seen him or known anything about him. When further questioned, how ever, she said she remembered Mr. Boyer, her father, and her brother, leaving the house on one evening together, that the convi c t an d her father returned alone, and that she had never seen Mr. Boyer since. The girl, however, has since died, but it is believed that her sister, who is fully cognizant of all the particulars of this ex traordinary case, is still living in Dublin, and it is to be presumed she will be brought forward. In this brief sketch of his life, from 1837 , o f the con vict, no a ll us i on has been made to his connexion and marriage with the unfortunate lady whose remains were found on Ireland's Eye, or the still more unfortunate but criminal connexion between the wretched man and Miss Kenny, as the particulars of these cases were fully entered into at the recent trial at Green -street. We may mention that the houses in Parnell-place, Fleet street, and D'Olier-street, have been carefully examined by the officers of the G division ; and it is generally believed that the kitchens and garden of the former place will be dug up on this day, as a strong suspicion prevails that Boyer has met with an untimely end, and that - u of rk h e ims K e i ris . remains are buried in some portion of the premises. h is jilriV who re- Mr. John A.

The accused were a Miss Little page and a Mrs. Smith, both highly, respectable ladies, and well-known in the counties of Gloucester and Wor cester as having been engaged in the education of mem bers of highly respectable families. The charge against them was that they had stolen linen to the value of 501., and — divers articles of plate, the property of Captain Maxwell, of Kemerton-priory, near Tewkesbury. Mr. Pigott conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Skinner and Mr. Fallen defended the prisoners. The evidence ad duced on the trial was very voluminous, but the facts briefly were as follows :—Mrs. Maxwell, the lady of Captain Maxwell, had the education of some private pupils at Kemerton-priory, and the captain becoming embarassed in consequence of his connection with a mining company, retired from Kemerton to London for a time, and he and Mrs. Maxwell made an arrangement with Miss Littlepage and Mrs. Smith that they should take to the house and the pupils for a year, and that Captain Maxwell should pay the housekeeping expenses and receive the money from, the pupils. Miss Littlepage was to take to the furniture, and a bill of sale of it was drawn up, but was afterwards cancelled. When Cap tain Maxwell left Kemerton, the plate and linen not in common use was locked up in a large chest, and they took away the key, but afterwards, something being wanted out of the box, the key was sent to Kemerton, In October last year the landlord of the house put in a ' distress for rent, and thereupon Mrs. Maxwell came down, settled with them, and they left. The• prisoners left about this time, and then the plate and linen in question was missed. It appeared, upon the evidence, that Miss Littlepage had taken the things, openly saying to some that she should keep them safe, and return them when required ; and to others that she should keep them as a lieu for money owing to her. This w as the defence, and it was stated that the ladies had taken advice upon the point. The jury agreed that there was no felonious intent, and found the prisoners not guilty, amidst the acclamations of the court. A letter from Berlin states that the King of Prussia has conferred the order of the Black Eagle on the Arch duke Ferdinand Maximilian, of Austria ; and that of the Red Eagle, third class, on the French Colonel Marnier. melancholyMnANeH a tv ACCIDENT.— MALTA, i denthas rece ntly JAN. 2 occurred, . which A Very has thrown a gloom over our society, and excited the sympa thies of all classes. Some short time since, Miss Drum mond, the eldest daughter of the London banker, was enjoying a ride, when she was thrown violently, and broke her jaw. As she lay on the ground she still re tained her hold of the bridle, when the animal reared, and evidently frightened the unfortunate lady. She was removed to her hotel, where medical assistance was called in, and the sufferer, on the 28th ult., was doing as well as could be expected, her jaw settling nicely, her wounds healing kindly, and indeed she was so well as to have been quite gay, and in high spirits. At four a.m. of the 29th, she woke her nurse, and, feeling un well, asked for some beef tea (the nourishment allowed her), and that her own maid should be sent for. On the arrival of the latter, finding her mistress as she thought, asleep, she would not disturb her. At five o'clock, her medical man, Dr. Stilton, was sent for, but before he arrived she was a corpse. Wh e th er h er death was caused by some unknown internal injury received, or by the severe shock her nervous system had received, is not not known. The lady was in her 33d year. , ~ , __., ..,- '~~~-~-~ . ~ ~.. ~ . --r
