On Friday Daniel Seward, alias Sayward, was indicted for the wilful murder of John Ballard, at Romford, on the 3d of October last, by stabbing him, in the abdomen With a shoe maker's knife, of which he died on the 4th of October, "in the parish of Hornchurch. The case was stated by the leatiting Counsel for the prosecu. tion in a very impressive address to the Jury, in which they were called upon to exercise a discriminating judgment upon the facts which would be detailed- in evidence. The ivisoner was a shoemaker at Rainham, and lodging at Dagenham, in this county. He had formed an attachment fora young wo man named Deborah Smith, who, after a courtship of some months, transferred her affections to the deceased; and it was alleged that the assassination of the deceased arose from mo tives of jealousy. The unfortunate girl who was the innocent cause of her fatal calamity Yid! brought into Court, but was so overwhelmed by the singularity of her situation, as to be un able for some time to for evidence. After the evidence for the prosecution was closed, ' Several witnesses wer e called for the prisone r , who gave him a good character as a peaceable and good tempered man. Mr. Baron GRAnAm summed up the case with the greatest minuteness, charging them that if the prisoner had had no pre vious malice, and the unfortunate affray in which the deceased lost his life arose from a sudden provocation, the prisoner could only be found guilty of manslaughter ; but that if the prisoner having previous malice (which was to be judged of by his bor rowing a knife, and sharpening it) sought this occasion to pick a quarrel with the deceased, who had supplanted him in th e af fections of the young woman, and had lain in wait for that purpose, the prisoner would be guilty of murder, though the deceased was the first aggressor in striking a blow. The in tention of the prisoner upon the question of malice was to be judged of by his previous conduct : hi s b orrow i ng t h e kn i fe, sharpening it; watching the parties during the fair, his subse quent expressions, his lying in wait, and his expressions to wards the young woman, tending to provoke the deceased to interpose in her behalf. The Jury immediately found the prisoner GUILTY, Death. The Learned Judge then pronounced the awful sentence of death, and ordered the prisoner for execution on ,Monday next, (this day.) The prisoner seemed stubbornly unmoved during his trial, and retired from the bar apparently unconcerned. At Romford he was designated as the « Dandy Cobbler." He is about 22 years of age. SATURDAY.-This afternoon the Assizes finished. The Court was occupied with cases not fit for the public eye. Thir teen capital convicts received sentence of death. The only un happy persons left for execution were, we believe, Deborah Low den, for uttering a fo rge d b an k note f or 10 1 . of the banking firm of Messrs. Sparrow and Co. of Chelmsford; Wm. Turner, for uttering a forged Bank of England note for the payment of 61.; Wm. Arthur Brett, for forging a cheque for'2lol. in the name of his Master, Mr. T. Andrew, the attorney, of Coggeshal, in favour of Messrs. Chapman, Stevens, and Wood, the London attornies, on the house of Messrs. Sparrow and Co. of Chelms ford ; and Daniel Say, for murder. The other capital convic tions were for ordinary statutable offences, of frequent occur rence, the circumstances of which were not remarkable. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY ofSt. PATRICK On Saturday, the annual festival for the bene fit of the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick was celebrated at. the City of London Tavern. The attendance was numerous and respectable. At seven o'clock, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the President of the day, entered the room. Be was accompanied by the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, Earl DARNLEY, Lord CLANWILLIAM, Mr. CANNING, and other persons of distinction. A short time before the , arrival of the Noble Chairman, an American Chief, in his Canadian costume, was'introduced and seated at the cross table, with another Ame rican, who wore an Officer's uniform. The singu lar appearance of-the Chief,' his fine person, and dignified deportment, attracted universal atten tion. The cloth removed, Non nails Domine was sung. The NOBLE CHAIRMAN, who was supported on the right by the Duke of Wellington, on the left by the Marquis of Londonderry, then gave th e • health of their Patron, his Ma jesty, with four times four, and took that opportunity of an nouncing that he had received his Majesty's royal commands to present.the Society with his customary . donation of 100 guineas.--(Great applause.) The toast was drank with four times four, and with kud acclamations. " The Royal Family," and " the Navy and Army, of Great Britain," were severally given with three times three. The CHAIRMAN next called on the Meeting to drink Pros perity, to the Benevolent Society_of St. Patrick. He had the satisfaction to state that the hopes formerly held out to the subscribers were now fulfilled, and the whole of the children educated by the Society were collected under the same roof. " Prosperity to the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick" was then drank with three times three. The children at present educating by the Society then pass. ed through the room. Their appearance was most gratifying. The number was'much greater than formerly., Those who had been apprenticed out, and the young men and women who had been enabled to provide for themselves, did not attend. The CHAIRMAN said it had been customary to drink the health of the-Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. On the present oc casion, remembering the Lord Lieutenant was an Iri s h man , thatand Irishman the Marquis of Wellesley, he was sure the toast would be drank with enthusiasm. He begged to give the health of the Marquis of Wellesley, with that of the Mar quis of Hastings, and the other absent -friends to the insti. tution. The Duke of WELLINGTON returned thanks for the Mar quis, and said he was certain it wo u ld afford hi s N o bl e re l at i ve much satisfaction to hear of the manner in which his health had been drank on-the present occasion. The CHAIRMAN now rose to propose one -of the standing toasts of the Society," The health of the Duke of Wellington." The toast was drank with shouts of applause. The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed his high sense of the honour which had been done him by putting his name in the list of their standing toasts, and the cordiality with which his health had just been drank. He was not insensible that he. owed these honours to the manner in which he had done his duty whilst engaged in the service of his country ; and he, be to assure the Meeting that , in whatever situation he 'night hereafter be placed, it would always be the object of his am bi. tion so to conduct himself as to merit a continuance of their approbation. " The Fishmongers' Company was the next toast drank." " The healths of the Marchionesses of Hastings and Down shire" were then drank with applause ;" after which The Secretary read over the subscriptions received on the present occasion. Among them was a donation of 3001.' the produce of the copyr-right of the " Suffolk Letters," given to the Society by the Marchioness of Londonderry. This called forth loud and reiterated applause, as 'did the announcement of the total amount of the subscriptions, which was 1,6651. ss. The CHAutmAN.called the attention of the Meeting to the splendid and magnificent donation received from Lady Lou' dondetry. ' It was fortunate for the Charity that her Ladyship had been possessed of valuable family papers, which, while they amused and informed the public, would thus be made to swell the of benevolence which flowed to educate the pion He begged to propose the health of her Ladyship, whose birth-day, he remarked, happened to be St. Patrick's Day. He was sure all present must rejoice in the coincidence, that the Noble Marchioness, St. Patrick, .and the Sudialk papers, first saw the light on the same day. The health of the Marchioness was_drank with three times three, and immense applause. The Marquis of LoxboNDEitin , begged to express his sense of the honour which the Marchioness of Londonderry had 54 p0 received. Pe should not fail to report what had passed on th e present occasion, and having Slit , a task to perform, he was sure that he should be welcome .h me. It was a singular feli city that her. Ladyship, in contributing to the amusement of the public by giving these papers to the world, had been able, as the Noble Chairman had remarked, to swell the tide which flowed to educate the poor., and thus combine the interests of literature and charity ; and it was a satisfaction peculiarly , dear to her heart, that she had been 'able to present this offer ing at the shrine of Ireland.—(Applause.) The health of the Vice-Presidents, with thanks for their exertions, was the_next toast. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was deputed by the Vice- Presidents to return their thanks for the honour which they had received. They Felt that instead of being entitled to thanks, their thanks were due to those who had placed them in a situation so patifying to their feelings. He remarked, it was not then seen for the first time that public men, how ever great the _differences which divided them in their efforts to promote the prosperity and glory of their country, could meet there with perfect accord s to unite in the cause of be nevolence. If the • Vice-Presidents had heretofore contri buted to the success of this Institution, their efforts would be continued with the same sincerity, zeal, and integ-rity, and meeting there, political hostility would be buried, and all par ties would cordially unite in the work of charity. He begged to propose the health of one of his colleagues in the Vice- Presidency, who had ably advocated this principle, and he trusted the meeting would prove, by the manner in which they received the toast, that they duly appreciated the past exer tions of the Noble Lord he was:about to name. He then gave " The health of the Earl of Darnley." The toast was drunk with great applause. The Earl of DARNLEY returned thanks. Thirty-years ago he had laboured' to exclude all politics from the consideration of those who interested themselves in the cause of this Charity, and to the adoption of the principle which he had reCom.. mended he imputed its success.- He begged to propose the health of a Right Hon. Gentleman, whose distinguished ta lents had recently been exerted in 'this cause. He then gave the health of Mr. Canning.—The toast was drank with loud acclamations. Mr. CANNING felt that he had no claim to the distinguished honour which had just been conferred on him. True it was that by their kindness he had recently- occupied that chair which was now so much' itiore worthily filled by the Noble Marquis, and it was undoubtedly true that he had the interests of this Charity sincerely at heart, but being there that day, in no situation that could claim their notice, -the honour which he had received was so unexpected, that he was wholly unpre pared to acknowledge it in a suitable manner. He sincerely thanked them. It was most gratifying to witness the union of persons-of different parties on an occasion like the pre sent. It taught perhaps a salinity lesson, as it presented an epitome of that which might be witnessed throughout the empire: Meeting there to devote themselves to Irish inte rests—to knit together Irish - affections, they did that which must promote the welfare of both countries. From , this a lesson might be taught to all who believed that there were von flitting interests in the country. There was no such thing. It was the object of this kingdom—it was the constant aim of its Constitution, by encouraging the cul t iv a ti on o f partitular interests that each might gain - greaten-protection, to pro mote the general good, and thus form from the several parts one splendid whole. Contributing to the happiness of Ireland, so as to unite it more closely to this country, they contributed to the mass, of strength which supported the ho:. nour,, and power, and glory of the British ' Empire. By the union of all parties in the cause of this Institution, during the S hort period with which he had been connected with it, he had ' : PRICE SEVENPENCi seen it growing and flourishing : and he trusted, that acting On the same principle, its prosperity would continue to increase and gain new lustre and importance in each . succeedingyear. Their attention had to .day been called to a 7. noble effort to turn the stream of cultivated literatur e , t o swell the tide of education for the. benefit of the poor. If the rules ,of the So ciety permitted it, he would propose that the. name of the Marchioness of Londonderry sfiould in all future celebrations of the festival, be united to the names of those two Noble Ladies which were - found in one of their standing toasts.—He did not propose this in words, but he submitted it lo the con sideration of the Society. The CHAIR:MAW begged to sa r that he entirely concurred with the Right lion. Gentleman m what had just fallen from him, and thought the suggestion entitled to his best support: The health of. the Stewards having been drank, Sir J. DoYtE returned thanks i —enforced the necessity of abstaining from politics at these celebrations,—ond pronoun. cod an animated panegyric on one of the patrons of the Sode r ty, the Marquis of hosting& The Earl of Blesinto n ' s health was drank with three times three. Ills Lordship briefly returned thanks for that honour. The CrtAntmAN understood that two strangers were. pre sent. These, though native Americans, he understood were attached to British interests, and were under ;British protec tion, to which they were well entitled by their conduct. .Ile begged to propose the heolths. of Mr. Brandt and Captain Kerr. - I`dr. BRAN-DT (the Chief) spoke to the following effect rise merely to offer a few words in return for the honour, coß ferred on my f r i en d an d myself. t have made so little'pro gress in your language, that I cannot express my feelings in the way I could wish; but 1 thank you from my heart. I have been much gratified by the liberal and humane sentiMents which I have heard in the course of the evening ; and for your kindness towards myself, I again thank you from the bottom of my heart.—(Loud applause.) In the course of the evening a variety of songs and glees were sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Leete, Evans, and other vocal Gentlemen. Webb, with his Irish ditties, contributed Much to the mirth of the night, which presented throughout a scene of perfect harmony. • . On Saturday last, being St. Patrick's Eve, the Children of the East London Irish Free Schools were supplied with a plen tiful repast of beef and plum pudding, at the house of the Rev. H. C. O'Donnoghue, the Secretary to the Institution, by the liberality of the Committee. Above 300 children are, we un derstand, under the car e o f t h e S oc i ety, o f w hi c h his Grace the Duke of Devonshire is Patron. &OWN OFFICE, MARCH 16, 1824.

HATTON-GARDEN,-31R s7DONATTY. —On Saturday morning, at ten o'clock, a Committee of the inhabitants of the parish was held at the workhouse, 'when the subject, of the late atrocious murder was considered. Many of the witnesses already examined Were brought in and questioned, but nothing new was elicited. The deed by which the relatives of Michael Do natty_transferred their interest in the reversion of his property wafs'produced, and to this it appeared that David Donatty, as well as a man named Samuel Donatty, a butcher (not yet exa mined), were parties. A Gentleman on the Committee, who has taken a very active and zealous part th►oughout the inves tigation, said that he had just received communications which it would be imprudent hastily to di.-close, but which, he hoped, would furnish a clue to the perpetrator of the murder. The name of David Donatty (the supposed nephew) was mentioned; but the Gentleman in question expressed his perfect conviction of his innocence. The sack and sheath were once more produced, and it wa resolved to describe them more minutely titan hitherto by ad vertisement, and to fix a place for their full inspection by all who might be able to throw any light upon the subject. The sack has the appearance of having been used for seed. It is of coarse canvass, and capable of holding about four bushels. The mark G-7 (formerly mentioned) appears to have been painted, and is of long standing. The B. underneath is rather clumsily executed with ink, and is much blotted. This had evidently been a modern and additional mark made by some recent possessor, and having no connexion with the first Mark. In one corner of the sack, hear the mouth, are thefigures " ii," which a gentleman pr esent sa id was t h e probable weight of the tare of the sack. This was also written in ink. The sheath, which it is believed contained the knife with which the murder was perpetrated. consists of two pieces of wood, surrounded with a piece of white riband, and bound together with pack thread. It is very roughly manufactured, about six inches long, and is b elued, or cemented, in'th e b ottom o f a brown cotton case, which has the appearance of hating been an old umbrella-case. This case is about two feet long, `and draws together at the top, with a running sting: The bottom has a greasy or tarry coat, as if it had long been in use. It was suggested by a Gentleman present, that such a sheath might serve to protect the very sharp knives which are used by the Jew butchers in killing their cattle. Those knives are often two-edged, and are kept extremely sharp by the use of a hone, instead of a common stone or steel. The sur geon who examined the deceased, and who was in attendance, was Clearly of opinion that the wound in the neck of the deceased had been inflicted by some person acquainted with the vital ar teries and nerves ofthat part of the human frame—indeed, he said he thought it bore exactly the character of such a wound as a butcher would give to kill a lamb or a sheep. It was incident ally stated, that the deceased had a wound on the top of her head, another on her hand, and that there was the mark of a blow on her face, as if, when her murderer entered, he had struck her down with his fist 4 her position, with respect to the door, confirms this supposition. A female friend of the deceased, who knew her when she lived in Acton-street, said that she had a sister ten years ago, who lived with her husband in Norwich-court, Castle-street, Holborn. This woman has four children, but she has not been heard of since the murder. Thirty pounds was found in a drawer of the deceased's house on Friday afternoon ; but it has- not been discovered that she hai made any will. His Majesty's Government have determined to offer a par don to any, but the actual perpetrator of the murder, who shall come forward and assist in the detection of the criminals. • While the committee -was sitting at the workhouse, Mr. Laing was continuing his inquiries at • Hatton garden office. David Donatty was again in attendance, but• upon being seen by the women who had described the persons whom they had seen near to the house of Mrs. Donatty on the night of the murder, they said they did not recognise him as one of thoie persons. He was consequently discharged upon a promise to come up again when wanted. Thus it would seem that, up to the present moment, no decisive trace has been discovered of the offenders. BOW-STREET.—DISTURBANCE AT THE OLYMPIC.—On Saturday. evening John Hardcoll, Isaac Stewart, alias Stark, and George Suett, alias Sweet, were brought to the Office, anti underwent an examination before G. R. MIN mum., Esq. charged with making a most outrageous disturbance; also with violently assaulting several persons, breaking musical in struments, &c. at the Olympic Theatre. They designated each other by the names o f T o m, Jerry, and Logic, exclaim ing while they were making the outrage--" Go it Tom, go it Jerry, go it Logic" &c. After much resistance ; th e y were at length secured. Isaac Stewart, who said he resided at Ply mouth, and shewed much contrition for his conduct, Mr. Coveney, the Lessee, permitted to be held to bail on his own recognizance. The other two were sent to a watch-house. One morning last week, the servant of Mr. RAYNER, chair maker, of this town, put a bottle, containing water, in her master's bed-room, between the window and the window curtain, which having attracted the rays of the sun the cur tain caught fire and was nearly consumed. Mr. R. intends to preserve the remains of the curtain, conceiving it to be a curiosity, and the circumstance worthy the attention of phi.. losophers.--(Portsmouth Paper.) STANDING MUTE.—On Thursday last, at York Assizes, John Hold.sworth was placed at the bar, and arraign ed on the charge of manslaughter, in killing his - brother by beating him on the head with a stone. - On being asked whe ther he pleaded guilty or not guilty to the indictment, he re mained silent ; and it appeared that, though 27 'ears of age; he had never manifested any signs of intelligence or affection, except that maternal kindness had occasionally awakened in him some faint gleamings of mind. The verdict of the Jury was, that he stood mute by the visitation of 04 and that he was not able to take his trial owing to alienation of mind. tion inal )out y to and Ore, d to. hew' acef led, • it"- C.) t no He Ls of Low, , al- ori- the Af ) re- 1.
