Bdore the names of the jury had been called over, — The Lord Chief Justice, having looked over the re cord and the abstract of it, said—l have handed up to me to enable me to discharge the duty of trying this record an abstract, consisting of 558 pages. I should very much disregard my duty and very imperfectly attempt to discharge it, if I were to set out upon the trial of his record with such an abstract. For me now to set about collecting from this document--to do that which is the rules of the attorney for the plaintiff to do—would be impossible, and equally improper. It would be vio lating the se ttl e d ru l es o f th e law,lt would be degrading the office I hold, and it would be encouraging the gross neglect of those who are concerned for the plaintiff. I therefore order this record to be struck out. Dr. Hayes, Q.C.—I trust that where the parties have gone to a great expense on both sides—where gentlemen have been summoned here as special jurors and as wit nesses, and great expense has been incurred, your lord ship will, at all events, give us an opportunity of reme dying the defect as far as possible. Mr. Birch—l think it is very hard that I should be sacrificed for the fault Of my attorney ; I employed counsel ; I have been imprisoned ; I have been slandered. I thought I had employed the best counsel and attorney. The expenses of the law in this country are so great, so enormous, that it has cost me more than 1001. already to bring this case to trial. I have done so to vindicate my character against ruffians who beset me in every way. The plaintiff was here checked by his counsel. Mr. Maunsell—My lord, I object to Mr. Birch making a statement of this kind. Chief Justice—l must object to this on the part of the court. I have made my order. Mr. Kinder—My lord, I am the plaintiff's attorney. I consulted counsel on the subject, and it was he who drew up the abstract. I looked into the general rule, and I found that it only applied to cases tried in Dublin, and therefore I did not think it necessary to go into any length of abstract. Lord Chief Justice—Every reason that makes the rule applicable to cases tried in town makes it equally appli cable to those for trial in the country. Mr. M‘Donough said that the rule was perfectly settled. The court adjourned at ten o'clock, there being many witnesses for the prosecution. The jury were kept together, under the care of the under-sheriff. MARCH 19. Dr. Hayes—Probably your lordship would kindly consent to adjourn the matter for half an hour. Lord Chief Justice—l cannot alter my decision. Dr. Hayes-Really, my lord, it is a very grievous order in its effect on my client. Probablyyour lordship would consent to the case standing over, on the under standing that the costs of the day should be paid. Lord Chief Justice—l cannot do so—it is not a ques tion of costs. Dr. half an hour's your lordship would consent to only rzadjournment, I will undertake to lay a full abstracte fore you. The Lord Ch ief Justice—Half an hour nor half a day would not enabl e me t o . put myself in possession of this case. I do not preten d but ,f I do not know what the present case is, because seen an account of latifl it be like a case which I have him to utter and publieslyx, in which a party takes upon by which he declaims in general terms —not imputingany illegal offence—but imputing general defamation, and and afterwards c omes t o justify himself by specifyi n o: ti n lzimber of matters—not charging any illegal offence matters still defama torythis could be first to publish a r p a ublish a number general defamatory libel, and then to H;lleirted in the sotteadhe of detailed libels, because if the matte answerable under pleas are not true they are all libels colour of those pleas for which he will i : in damages, to defame his adversary of forward his charges in the face of his d eclaration , which if he put them he w ould be answera ble for t u lie n °ll in damages ; if the law is suc h that that co urse can be taken, it is high time for the Legislature to interfere if indeed the courts have not themselves the power at Nisi Prius to meet a case of this sort in a way that will pre vent such an abuse and perversion of the law. It is, therefore, that I feel doubly bound to be put in full pos session of every part of this record, that I might be ena bled to make up my mind whether I could not deal with a case of that sort in a way that would prevent that per version of the law which would enable a man to defame another, and to aggravate the case by any number of additional libels without being responsible for those addi tional libels. , Mr. Birch—l thank your lordship. The Lord Chief Justice—l don't say that that is the ease, for I am not acqulinted with it so as to be able to say so ; but if this be that sort of case, I should feel it my duty to consider wh e th er , even i n thi s C our t of i Vigi P tB, I could not mea t it i n suc h a way as t o preven t such ..ll.r a gross perv ers i on o f t h e l aw.

The ease for the prosecution having finished, M. King then addressed the jury for Hitchcock, ask ihg for a general acquittal. Mr. Coleridge addressed the jury for Sparkes, in a speech of great power, not asking for an acquittal, but urging that the blow had been struck in a quarrel between Blaekmore and Sparkes, both excited by drink, and that the offence, therefore, only amounted to manslaughter. Mr. Justice Crompton summed up with great care and firmness. The jury having retired for some time, found Sparkes guilty and acquitted Hitchcock. The learned Judge passed sentence of death upon Sparkes. His lordship was dreadfully overcome, and sobbed audibly. The learned Judge, in passing sentence upon the pri soner, said that the jury had taken a most merciful view of her case. The crime of infantcide appeared to be greatly on the increase, and the judges.in the course of their duties could noenow go into any county in Eng land without finding one or two, and frequenting more, of such cases in the calendar. There were some very dreadful circumstances in her case. The infant in ques tion was not her first child, and she must have been per fectly well aware of her condition, and yet she had pro vided no clothes or other necessaries for the infant ;- and it was difficult to account for her taking the child and concealing it in this unoccupied cottage in any other way than by supposing it was her intention that its should be sacrificed. The jury had, however, very mercifully ac quitted her of the crime of wilful murder, and had only found her guilty of manslaughter, but upon that verdict he felt that he should be neglecting his duty if he did not pass upon her a severe sentence. He then ordered the prisoner to be transported for 15 years. Just before the grand jury were discharged, they re turned a true bill against Edmond Allain, Etienne Bar ronnet, Emanuel Barthelemy, and Phillippe Eugene Mornet, for murder. It will be remembered that the prisoners, who are Frenchmen, are charged with killing one of their coun trymen in a duel at Egham, in the autumn of last year. Upon the application of Mr. Parry, who appears for one of the defendants, the trial was fixed to take place on Monday (to-day). Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Ballantine are also retained for the defence. NORFOLK ClRCUlT—Nonwica, MARCH 18. CROWN COURT. Mr, Norton—Were they also delivered of still-born children !—Female—Yes, sir. Mr. Norton—Did it not strike you as exceedingly ex traordinary, if not very suspicious, that these females, all from the country, should have been delivered of still born infants !—Female—lt certainly did, your wor ship, and I candidly acknowledge that I should not like to attend any other lady there. Hayes—l understand, your worship, that the same room is now engaged for another lady, who is coming from the country to be confined there. Samuel Ilorth, aged 38, was indicted for assaulting Ann Proudfoot, at Yarmouth, on the 14th of October, and attempting to murder her by placing a pitch-plaster over her mouth and nose. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Bulwer were counsel for the prosecution ; and Mr. Prendergast, Q.C., defended the prisoner.

Mr. Norton—l must say that the whole affair has a startling and suspicious appearance. Quite enough has been shown to prove the necessity for a further inYesti gation. His worship then directed Hayes, the officer, to call on the medical man, and tell hi m th a t hi s pro f ess i ona l Character was much involved in the disclosure, and that he wished him to attend before him and explain his con duct in the matter.

Oa PARIS, March 19.—The Sirene, of and for Caen, came in collision, on the night of the 14th March, six miles off Bar fleur, with the Vigilant, of and from Fecamp, and was abandoned ; crew saved by the latter. FLYAL, Feb. 24.—Tho Angelo ship, of Boston, from Mauritius to London, has just put in leaky, and will be surveyed. FEDERWARDERHAFEN, March 10.—The Gerhardina Bertha, from Sunderland to Vegesack, which was aground on the 4th of March, has suffered serious damage. - The prosecutrix is a woman 38 years of age, who had had four illegitimate children in Yarmouth by different fathers, and would appear to have formed a similar con nection with the prisoner, who was at the time a fellow servant of her's, the result of which was that she again became enceinte. As soon as she became aware of it, she acquainted him with her situation, demanding money, which seemed to perplex him. However, they met by appointment on the Denes, a large sandy district just outside the town, on the evening of the 14th of Oc tober last, for the purpose of discussing the matter. As they were sitting down so engaged near the Northum berland Arms Inn, the prisoner all of a sudden jumped up, and, applying a plaster to the face of his unsuspect ing paramour, attempted to hold her down. She, how ever, managed to. get on her legs, and, tearing off the plaster from her face, fled from him. He pursued her, and, overtaking her, renewed the attempt to apply the plaster, and made a ferocious attack on her, tho violence of which may be conceived when the surgeon, who was called in by those who, being alarmed by her cries, discovered her lying insensible, and on her face near the inn, stated that her front teeth were knocked in, and her whole face swollen to a level with her nose, while on her throat were pieces of pitch. Being taken to the hospital the prosecutrix was soon ascertained to be free from vital injury; but she was an inmate of that establishment for a fortnight before she could resume he usual business. When her cries attracted the landlord of the inn to her, a pitch plaster adhered to her gown, and a brace was found lying by her side ; but no one was near her. As soon as she recovered her senses she charged the prisoner with having attempted to burk her with a plaster, which even then was hanging by her side and seemed to have been made of tar or pitch, spread -upon a small piece of cloth. As soon as she made known the person of her assailant, the police went to the house of the prisoner, whom they found sitting composedly with his wife and children, and enjoying a pipe; but, on examining his person, it was found that he had but one brace on, while his left hand was all smeared with pitch and tar, and a tar-pot and brush were discovered in the house. Mr. Prendergast then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and, having contended that there was no proof of the capital charge, even if the jury should be of opinion that the prisoner was in any way connected with this extraordinary case, proceeded to call witnesses, who gave him an excellent character. The jury found the prisoner guilty of attempting to put a plaster over the face of the prosecutrix, but not with the intent to murder her. Sentence—Eighteen months' imprisonment.

Pierre Adolphus Augustine Selire was indicted for having feloniously discharged a loaded pistol at Emma Hillyer, at Plymouth, on the 12th of December last, with intent to kill and murder her. There were other counts in the indictment varying the charge. Mr. H. T. Cole was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Cox defended the prisoner. This was a very extraordinary case, It appeared that the prisoner, who was a fine, sailor-looking young man, was a native of Jersey, the owner of several vessels trad ing from Jersey to Plymouth, one of which he com manded himself, called the Medora. In November last he happened to be at Plymouth with his vessel, and became acquainted with Mrs. Hillyer, the mother of the girl he was charged with attempting to murder. Hear ing that she had a pretty daughter living with her uncle and aunt at Devonport, he asked the mother to intro duce him to her, and accordingly on the 24th of Novem ber he went to Devonport with the mother, and called at the uncle's, and they took the girl out for a walk. She is a very pretty interesting girl of between 17 and 18, and she gave her evidence with great propriety. During the walk the prisoner appeared to be much pleased with her, and before she returned home asked her if she should like him for a husband. She said she thought she should. He then said he would marry her on the following Tues day, and gave her his gold watch and chain, saying it should be a pledge for the performance of his promise, and that if he did not marry her it was to be forfeited. On the Monday he made an excuse for not marrying her the next day, saying he could not complete some busi ness which he had. All went on harmoniously till the 11th of December, when the prisoner called on the mother of the girl and said he would be married on the next Sunday ; that he had taken lodgings for them, and bought the ring, and wished the girl to go out with him and get the licence. The mother assented, and they went out together. While out he made an excuse to go into an ironmonger's shop for some article, leaving the girl outside, but it afterwards appeared that he there bought a brace of pistols for 31., and gun powder, caps, and balls. He then took the girl to see the lodgings. She sat down on a sofa, but perceiving that the prisoner was endeavouring to take the key from the Outside of the door she thought he meant to lock the door and tak e lib erties with her, and became alarmed and madethere her escape and went home. The prisoner came also, and in the evening they all went, as had been her mother sleepin,, ranged, to the prisoner's lodgings, the girl and next day they weTntheoount before arranged, .a f sofa-bed a wltlkin andtl r e p t n a r r i n o e u d r. . in The tlie evenin g to tea. their being out without tsorr seemed . rather annoyed at um, but nothing particular passed.

She replied, " No." He then , am not ashamed to look at you ;"to which she re lied, "Nor ani I ashamed to look at you." H e then said, " One for you and one for me —one in each hand." He then raised his hand, in which was a pistol, and levell e d it straight at her head, and fired.

A STRANGE SIGHT.—At Banff, in the north of Scot land, on the afternoon of Saturday last, there was seen coming in from th e sea a h uge p il e o f wa ter, of a circu 'lar form, progressing rapidly towards the shore with a gyratory motion. When first observed, it was appa rently about three miles off. As it approached it was more distinctly seen, and was apparently about one hun dred yards in height and about thirty feet in diameter. It moved with great rapidity, and reached the shore in less than five minutes from the time at which it, was first observed. When it came among the breakers, it caught a wave in the act of breaking, and dispersed its waters into a thousand forms. The whirlwind, however, con tinued its course, playing strange pranks on the shore.
