SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Some doubt was last night thrown upon the accuracy of our report of the speech of the Lord Chancellor on Thursday night. We are not surprised that those who felt the searching power of that speech should wish to believe that it was never uttered; we are not angry even, that they should inveigh against those who have been the mere instruments of conveying_ that speech t o th e world ; but if it be intended to state seriously that we have published a false report, we put ourselves directly at issue with our opponents, and avow simply, broadly, unequivocally, that we abide by that report. W e challenge any person, be he who he may, to deny it. Our reporter is ready to support his account on oath, and at any risk or pei - il. We are sure that neither the noble and learned lord who delivered that speech, nor any person who heard it, will say that it is not essentially and substan tially, correct in all its parts. At all events we abide by our report. As to the general tenour of the debate on this subject, we really think it unworthy of notice. One thing is certain :—whatever the House of Commons may think of the Lord Chancellor's speech, the country, we are sure, will not find anythieg in it which was not completely warranted by the extraordinary provocation. As to Sir E. Sug den's declaration that " he has lost all respect for the Chancellor," can any one read it without pity? Has he no friend to tell him that he can never be considered a fit antagonist for the Lord Chancellor ? We mean not to depreciate his professional merits, hut when the cock-sparrow can contend with the eagle, then may the lively dextetity and technical skill of a mere lawyer, hope to fight a successful battle with a compre hensive intellect, whose resources are as abun dant as the power of using them is unequalled and prodigious.— Times. It might amuse a person less conversant than we unfortunately have been with Irish politics, to hear some Lords and gentlemen of that country deliver themselves respecting the Reform Bill for Ireland. Lord Roden, with Messrs. Lefroy, Gordon, &c., appear to have their or gans so constituted, that they can look at the sister island in only a single point of view. Re form for them has - no political shape nor charac ter about it. The representative system has in their eyes no meaning, but as a contrivance for certain (falsely called) religious objects. Cor porations are of no value to them but as instru ments for jobbing the constituency. The con stituency, even when so jobbed, is worth no thing, but as a fulcrum to " Protestant ascen dancy." No rights under the Bill, no disquali fications, no exceptions, reservations, provisions, or enactments of any sort, are felt by the above mentioned class of sages to be better than unin telligible jargon, but only as there may he wrung from them some possible text for a preachment upon the necessity of setting up the Protestant anti keeping down the Catholic, and inflaming those hateful and ruinous discords which it must be the dearest purpose of every humane and enlightened lagislator to extinguish. The " Protestant interest," be it remembered, has, in the dialect of the party we speak of, not the most remote relation to the interests of the Pro testant religion. The phrase has no reference to the 39 Articles, to the difference between two sacraments and seven, to absolution, auricular confession, the worship of saints, or any other the alleged abominations of Popery, or to the excellence of that mode of faith by which such mountebankery has been for two centuries pro scribed. No. The " Protestant interest" means nothing else than that monopoly of all the good things of this world—namely, places, pensions, patronage, power, bishoprics, arch bishoprics, pluralities, tithes of every thing—for doing nothing—which have been enjoyed in Ireland by righteous Protestants since the end of the 17th century, and which monopoly of things temporal is regarded by the faithful as but a modest and self-denying indemnification for the monopoly of things eternal claimed by righteous Catholics as their own peculiar free hold. Religion ! Every disinterested being well knows that the religion of your ascendancy men contemplates nought in reality save loaves and fishes. Unconsciously to them selves it must be, else how could any faction, ever so audacious, pretend that rotten boroughs were a salutary help to " religion ?" or that an esta blishment of Archbishops, Bishops, Deans, Chap ters, Rectors, Vicars, &c., ought to be endowed with revenues, extorted principally from a Ca tholic population of 6,500,000, and for the as• sumed service of a Protestant congregation of 1,000,000, very little short of those which are levied from 14,000,000 of Englishmen and \Velchmen, amongst whom there are not more Catholics than there are Protestants in Ireland ? Why this is monstrous : it assumes that Ireland was raised out of the ocean for no use but to bear the yoke of Protestant Ascendancy, even as the exclusive end of Providence in giving men noses, was (according to Voltaire) that they might carry spectacles. Yet, is it not frightful to witness the degree in which Ministers, in so many other respects observant of the progress of human affairs and of national opinion—is it not most alarming to see how deeply they are tinged with this infatuation in lavour of the Irish Church Establishment ? What can they mean by this futile Bill for enforcing and perpetuating tithe composition in Ireland ? To make a law which an entire people repudiates, is at once to make war upon that people. To enjoin an obedience which you know will not be yielded but to force, is to say you will govern Ireland by no other means than force. Are Ministers prepared for such a system ?—for such folly P—for such wickedness ? To be sure, they might succeed in a war against the Catholics of Ireland, but then they must have the Protestants of Ireland with them, and the English Protestants with them ; and do they mean to say that the Pro testants of either country are so enamoured of the tithe system, as to cut the throats of their Catholic fellow-subjects and endanger their own, and expose the whole land to fire, sword, and desolation, for the sake of enabling a priesthood, in great part sinecure, to wring an harassing and odius tax from those to whom they make no shadow of return ? In a just cause we have no doubt that the Protestants of both islands, and a vast proportion of the Irish Catholics to boot, would support the British Government with life and fortune. But liavea care that the cause be just. Beware, lest you attempt to establish robbery by Act of Parliament,—to make Acts of Parlia ment which would induce and justify rebellion. The religious feelings of the Irish people are not represented by the doctrines of the Esta blished Church. 'Alust the people at this time of day be taxed by a church, any more than by a Parliament, which does not represent them ? And why is this ? Where is the necessity for such disgusting measures, even according to the ascertained sentiments of most cf the Ministers themselves? And why should a risk of fatal evils be thus gratuitously encountered ? Why should two nations be plunged into violence and micery, when it is plain that the pro fe,sed purpose of the measure is one which all but a small minority of its authors reprobate ; and which would not, even if it could, be persisted in for two Sessions more ? The path is clear by which Government might disembarrass itself of this most superfluous peril. Let them declare not only that tithe in that form shall cease, but that in its present amount the substitute for it shall not hereafter be monopolized by the estblished clergy. Let them winounce that, in its actual and absurd dimen- sions, the Irish hierarchy shall not hereafter exist —that the number of beneficed clergy shall not be perpetuated—that the number of Archhishopsand Bishops shall be greatly reduced—that the Deans and Chapters sh,Jl be wholly abolished—that the entire edifice of the Church of Ireland shall be suited in its proportions to those for whom it ought to be a shelter. That announcement, distinctly and promptly given, would quiet the agitation of Ireland, for this reason, viz. that itt.tice between man and man exacts it from the Government and the Legislature. Until the grievance of a sinecure church be got rid of, — we mean until the foundation of redress be laid in some legislative act,—there can be no peace throughout that country. Redress that grievance, and Parliament may treat the howl for a repeal of the Union with contempt ; or, if it cannot be silenced so, and that war must come, it will be an upright war, on behalf of those who seek to maintain the integrity of the British empire ; and all honest men at both sides of the Channel will prove that they can enforce justice for them s,ves as well as for their neighbours. We do implore Mr. S anley to give up his noxious rill, or the more clear-sighted colleagues ofthe Right Mon. Secretary to avow their own dissent from his opinion, otherwise it is not difficult to foresee that a long series of calamities must follow.— In our zeal for the interests of the newly-en franchised communities, we must not forget the prosecutions and oppressions which prevailed in many of the old and smaller boroughs, and which will demand prevention and redress from a Re formed Parliament. We exhort the indepen dent electors throughout the kingdom, systema tically and accurately to record all instances of corruption and base intimidation. They may be assured that these scenes of political iniquity will not meet with impunity ; and we trust that, confident in the protection of the new House of Commons, the electors will fearlessly and honestly f.,110w the dictates of their consciences, and vote only for liberal candidates. " Heaven and hell" will be moved by the " Conservatives," to coerce returns of bigots and " family candidates." A blind Aristocracy is not a whit intimidated ; the refuse of the boroughmongers will infallibly prat• their old electioneering arts and devices ; and in proportion to their loss of power in the Reform Bills, will strive to retain, if not to in crease, the remnant of their nomination boroughs and corrupt influence. Experience is no pre ceptor to men of elevated rank, or to old mono- polists of political influence. We doubt not that the Marquis of Exeter, the Duke of New c tYle, Lord Warwick, and the rump of the horoughmongers, will exercise or connive at their ancient practices ; that is to say, that their agents—stewards, lawyers, and Corporation tools—for Noblemen are not the outward and visible performers—will continue the various modes of seduction and intimidation which marked the two last General Elections especially. The " one-eyed boroughs" in Schedule B will also afford ample scope for their more humble imi tators. The Member-mongers will moreover calculate on the gradual extinction of the scot and lot votes, as the life interests expire, and will therefi)re look forward with sanguine hope, till the diminution of the Elective Franchise brings the smaller boroughs within their grasp, and more vulnerable to their machinations. The p inted petitions of the House of Commons, this month, present remarkable expositions of the scandalous practices in two boroughs—Warwick and Stamford—towns eminently and deservedly distinguished for their spirited exertions and cruel sacrifices in the cause of liberty and re form. Petitions from the burgesses of both these places were this month presented to Parliament, exposing, in terms of blazing dishonour, the op pressions practised at the last returns to extin guish freedom of election. " Notices to quit," every species of coercion anal foul practice were visited on the unprotected and conscientious electors. But we enforce on the honest and offering voters of these and other Boroughs to be undaunted, and to place implicit reliance on the justice of the next Parliament. Such shame .. . . fill interference with the purity and integrity of British representation must now meet its deserts. It ►:ever can or will be endured, that the electors shall be persecuted and ruined for the independent exercise of their franchise. We have no doubt that Lord Warwick will oppose one or both of the independent Members tbr Warwick, Mr. Tomes ard Mr. Bolton King. Stamford has again two Anti-reform candidates in the field—Colonel Chaplin and Mr. Finch. Let the independent electors contest every inch of ground, they must And will succeed. The new Parliament will shield their efforts, and if no existing remedial legislation will extirpate the Boroughrnongers, the Ballot will be soon applied as a certain spe• citic ; if the Peers who wish to monopolize both Houses of the Legislature bravely risk that Reform, they may he assured the people will never rest until its acquisition. The cost of the rattle has already partly cured one Noble Peer, the Marquis of Exeter. He has withdrawn his present nominee, Lord T. Cecil, and substituted his second candidate (defeated by Mr. Tennyson last year) Colonel Chaplin. But Lord Exeter's influence is given to the cor poration of Stamford, on behalf of a second candidate, Mr. Finch. The elastic consciences of the extravagantly pious have ever been pro erbial. Mr. Finch is an " Exeter Hall " High Churchman and Saint, the itinerant companion ( - >f Captain Gordon. How this gentleman, with piety and charity on his lips, can ranot himself under the banners of a Borough mobriger—how he can " conscientiously " embark in the riot, drunkenness, cursing and swear ing, and persecutions of such an ei ecs lion contest, would puzzle a Jesuit to compre hend or affect. He lends his purse, his elec tioneering scriptures, and his personal exertions to oppose the independent candidate, Mr. Gre gory, and to perpetuate all the i rre ligious prac tices notorious in Stamford. At the next Bible Meeting, Mr. Finch may explain this doctrine of " evil that good may come." Certain we are that lie will not impose on the Dissenters and really pious electors of Stamford. We again impress on the burgess es o f t h ese an d other towns to maintain the character and self sacrifice which have gained for them so extensive an amendment of the representation, and which %sill infallibly prove their certain redemption and ultimate protection against the ob stinate and abominable acts of the 80. roughmongers. The eyes of the whole country will be fixed on the spirit and exertions of the smaller boroughs; and while the independent electors oppose corruption and a lavish expen diture of money, let them practice that economy and purity of election which can alone ultimately redeem them 'from political thraldom and igno miny. Whether " Slints or Sinners" come under the wing of borough patrons, or with mock pretensions, let them repudiate impostors, and support only sincere and tried men. The blazoned subscription purses of the Conservative Political Unions are but as " sounding brass or tinkling cymbals ;" and if really applied at the approaching dissolution of Parliament, the Con. servative money will soon work its only cure. The Anti-Reformers admit that the " purse" is the only munition of war left to them by the Reform Bills, and that resource must necessa rily prove but a sorry substitute for schedules A and B.—Morning Chronicle. The speech of the Lord Chancellor, on Thurs day night, led to a great deal of altercation last night in the House of Commons. Some ex pressions attributed to the Lord Chancellor in one of the reports excited greatly the ire of Sir Edward Sugden. The passage which gave such offence to Sir Edward is as follows : " Yes (continued the Learned Lord), I am bound to believe, nay, cannot for a moment doubt, that the Learned Gmtleman (Sir E. Sugden) was wholly influenced by this most praiseworthy desire of information. How could I think otherwise, knowing, as I do, in common with that eminent ' high law authority,' that philosophers have long since eulogized this 1 tudahle thirst of knowledge as the most distit4tushed attribute of humanity, and Ss the most distinguished feature of an ingenuous and lofty in teilect ?—(Cheers and laughter.) Yes, my Louis, we Inv.- all read, that it is this Heaven-horn thirst of informa tion, and its condition—at least invariable concomit int— a self-disregarding and candid mind, that most distin guishes man from the craw;ino• reptile—that most distin guishes man from the w a sp that ' stings, and from the wasp that fain would, but cannot, sting.—(Loud cheers.) Aye, distinguishes us from not only the insect that crawls and stin.-s, but from that more powerful, because more offen sive, crew ore, the bug, which, powerful and offensive as it is, iv, after all, but •o much loathsome vermin."—(Conti nue,l cheers and laughter.) The question is, did the Lord Chancellor use these expressions. Sir Robert Peel ob served, " that the report in the Times (from which the passage is taken) has in one respect the appearance of accuracy—it is very elaborately given." Lord Althorp said, the Noble and Learned Lord (Brougham) called on him to say, that the report in that paper and in another was very incorrect. We understand that the Lord Chancellor used the words reptile, wasp, and bug, but that the tone of voice in which he uttered the sentence in which they were intro duced rendered it impossible for any reporter to catch his meaning ; and it must be said of the passage objected to, se non e vero e hen trovato. The passage in the other paper also characterised as inaccurate is sheer nonsense. Sir Edward Sugden was quite furious. " I find," he said, " that in another place a Noble and Learned Lord, in the course of some observations made with reference to my conduct, has thought fit to use expressions towards me which no gentleman, who has a regard for his own personal honour, nor any one whose acts could be influenced by personal fear, would have ventured to direct towards any other gentleman." Without insinuating any doubt of the bravery of the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen, we must observe, that no men seem to regret so much in Parliament the restraints imposed upon them by etiquette, as those who complain of privileged opponents. We once had a setter, who, when he saw another dog through a strong grating, was furious at the ob stacle opposed to his pugnacity, but carefully looked the other way when a dog at liberty hap pened to pass near him. This, however, seems a very pretty quarrel as it is ; and Sir Edward Sugden declares, that " he has lost all respect for the person who used these expressions." Sir Edward is here as premature as he was in his expression of r egre t a t t h e L or d Ch ance llor' s appointments, before he knew the terms on which they were made. He ought to have ascertained first what were the expressions used by the Lord Chancellor. There certainly is a presumption that his Lordship did not use any expressions at all approaching, in point of offensiveness, to those imputed to him, in the circumstance that neither the Duke of Wellington, nor any other of Sir Edward's friends, who were present, took any notice of what was said by Lord Brougham. —Morning Chronicle. Our readers will perceive that there was rather an extraordinary scene in the House of Com mons last night, on the subject of the difference between the Lord Chancellor and Sir Edward Sugden. Sir Edward is not insensible to the castigation he received ; indeed, it would require something more or less than man to sit easy un der such a lashing. But the Learned Gentle man, being so sensitive, ought to have been inure discreet. Why did he bring forward such a charge as implicated in direct terms the politi cal honesty of the Lord Chancellor ? We ask, why did he bring forward such a charge ? for it was unfair and uncandid in Sir Edward, and in those Members who echoed the same statement after him, to represent his observation as a mere question, which conveyed no attack upon the character of the Noble Person whose re tort he deprecated. Sir Edward Sugden and his friends may have forgotten—but the Lord Chancellor and his friends, and the public at large, could not forget—that this charge of political in consistency and dishonesty was only one of a hole series of vexatious, irritating, personal reflections, which, for some reason or other, the Learned Gentleman has thought proper to in dulge in ever since the Lord Chancellor was appointed to his high office. Sir Charles Wetherell may rave about " a vocabulary of calumnies ;" hut defensive severity is not calumny. He and others may rave about the privileges of the House of Commons, as if the House of Commons could claim a monopoly of privilege to itself. If there be any thing wrong in a Member of one House attacking a Niember ofranother, because that other could not be pre sent to defend himself, it must be as wrong in the House of Commons as in the House of Lords ; and in Sir Edward Sudden, who com menced the attack, as in the Lord Chancellor, who returned it with interest. Galled as the whole party evidently felt at the prostration of one of their champions by the iron blow which he had the temerity to provoke, the public see nothing in the act but a strict and vigorous ap plication of retributive justice, which, whether proceeding from the Bar, the Bench, or the Se nate, has its moral and its use.—Morn. Herald. SIR DAVID BAIRD.—The memoirs of this g 'dant soldier, which are shortly t o b e laid before the public, will, we understand, give, tor th e first time, a de tailed account of his brilliant services, both i n t h e East, and during the late war in the Pen insula. The volumes are io be enriched by many private letters of th e highest inte rtst, and the work is the production of a writer in every rtspect qualified to do justice to the subject. ABDUCTION AND SUICIDE. le A young lady of considerable personal attractions, and now about nineteen yens old, and who on coining of age will he entitled to an independent fortune of her own of about 5001. a-year, living in great respectability with her father at Kensington, had been for some time persecuted with the address. , s and attentions of Captain M., who had in some measure been received by her family as a suitor for her hand. He hail, however, lately shown considerable jealousy of her, and had displayed much violence of tem per. On Saturday last Miss - hail been making •a morning call on a lady in the neighbourhood, whose hus band returned home with her to her father's house ; and in a very short time after Captain M- arrived, and on learning she had just returned home, accompanied by a gentleman, la-traced the greatest agitation and passion, and, producing, a brace of pistols from his pocket, declared to Miss - that, had lie met her with the gentleman, lie would have blown his brains out with one pistol, and have then destroyed himself with the other. He then urged her, as a proof of her sincerity, to take a walk with hint. She, however, became alarmed at hia violence, and en deavoured to excuse herself; she, however, by his threats and intimidations at length consented to go, but her al trio was so great, that under an excuse of arranging some part of her dre‘s, she hail an opportunity of retiring for a few minutes, during which time she desired her man-servant to follow her wherever she went, without letting Captain M. observe him, and should she be obliged to get into a coach, he was to take one also, as she was alarmed at Captain M.'s conduct. They had not walked far before she was put into a coach by Captain M. ; the servant, however, could not find another coach to get into, but, at the instant, an omnibus going the same way, he got into it, thinking he should be able to keep the coach in sight; in this, however, he did not succeed, and, on coining into the city, lost all trace of his young mistress. In he mean time, Captain M. took her from the coach to a Strat ford stage in Leadenhall street, In which they went to the E igle and Child at Forest-gate, about a tulle beyond Stratford ; after they hail been there some time, he again persuaded her to take another walk in the country, not before she had strong fears of hi.. intending horne t! ing dreadful. After walking down the lane nearly as far as Marylind-point, ire became suddanly ill, and calling !o her to come close to him, fell down. Sue, however, ran front him, imploring assistance ; he constantly calling out to her to come to him. The only person near at the instant was an Irishwoman, who Miss -- begged would help the gentleman ; he, however, refused to be assisted by her, and called the more, " Mary Ann, Mary Ann, it is you I want near me;" at the same time feeling for some thing at his breast, under his coat. His illness increased, and by this time assistance arrived, and he was conveyed back to the E tgle and Child, where he acknowledged having taken laudanum, and under his coat was discovered a dagger, with which he intended to make Miss - his victim. The laudanum taking effect sooner and strong r tnan he expected, was the cause of her escape from this horrid project. Mrs. Muscly, the landlady of the Eagle and Child, on his being brought back, recollected hearing him say, as he went out, to Miss " Never mind, Mary Ann, our troubles in this life will soon be over, and then we shall be happy in the next." Medical 'assistance being immediately sent for from Stratford, Dr. Elliot and his assistant soon arrived, arid although every means were resorted to in order to save his life, the quantity of lau danum he had taken was too powerful, although the stomach pump was used within as short a time as pos. Bible. Dr. Elliot remained with him the at - hole night, and at three o'clock on Sunday morning he died in the greatest agonies. The situation of Aim] -, who was in the adjoining room, was BC-ircely less pitiable; her friands, however, from what little information the servant had been able to give, had by this time traced where she was, arid soon afterwards a gentl-man conveyed her hack to her father's house. The most remarkable part of this dreadful affair is, that aler his death Miss - and her friends for the fist time discovered that he was a married man, and has a wife living. An inquest was held on Tuesday on his b irly, at the Eag e Child. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT --WORCESTER, JULY 25. Eliza Rickards, aged 16, was chareed with administer ing oxalic acid to Mary Dace, with intent to murder h, r. Mrs. Mary Duce said—l have been in bad health fix the last six or seven years. 1 usually take my breakfast in bed. I used to take tea for breakfast. I found fault with the prisoner about some baking. I told her I thought she would ❑ot suit me. In the evening I gave her warn ing. On the Sunday the prisoner went to a place of wor ship. She asked to go out. She returned at about seven, and sat down in the kitchen. She sad if I would pay her a quarter's wages she would go next morning. On the Monday morning the prisoner came at about five o'clock, and asked the if I would have breakfast. She brought on a waiter a tea-pot partly tilled, a tea cup and saucer, and some loaf sugar in a basin, and a piece of bread. She put it before me. I poured out the tea, and sipped a little, and found it had an acid taste. It en tered my mind that I had got poisdu. It fetched the skin off my mouth and tongue. I made an alarm, and my husband called the prisoner. and sent her up to me ; and my husband put the tea-pot and tea things under the bed. The tea-pot was given to Cragg, a constable. Cross-examin , dl by Mr. CARRINGTON—I ordered the prisoner to be tied with a waggon-rop. Her hands were tied behind her, and the waggon-rope was passed between her wrists, and she was tied to a post. She had kick, d the door and splintered it before she was tied with tl e waggon-rope, but her hands -.vere then tied behind her. Before that she hal complained of her being hurt by being tied. Mrs. Bennet and I hail some conversation respect ing my husbatid having taken liberties with the prisoner. Mr. William Duce said—l am the son of the prose cutor. I had purchased oxalic acid to clean my boot tops. I kept it in a drawer which was not locked. About a week after the prisoner came into our service I had lost the key of the drawer, and, fearing it should be used in a mistake, I told her not to touch it, as it was poison. Jacob Rutter said—l am the apprentice of Mr. Duce. The prisoner said that Mrs. Duce had bee❑ at her all the week, and she would he even with her. Mr. Downing said—l am a surgeon at Stourbridge. I have been in business 23 years. Th.- bottle was brought to me b y t h e l as t w i tness . I a nalyzed the contents of th e bottle and tea•pot.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT, LINCOLN, JULY 25. Clipshum Allen, aged 47, was put to the bar upon a charge of having teloniously set fire to a wheat rick, the pro p. rty of Mr. Jonas Clarke, in Deeping Fen, in the parts of Kesteven, in this county, on the night of the 18th of Deceml'er, 1830. Other counts in the indictment charged the pr Boner with setting fire to a barn, a stable, and other premi , ea• The prisoner is a labourer, and a well looking man, with a countenance and demeanour bespeaking honesty and confidence in his innocence. lie had been com mitted to prison upon this charge soon after tha burning, hut the bill then pre'erred against him was ignored by the Grand Jury. Upon the discovery of more evidence he again apprehended, and was to be tried at the last Lent Assizes, but, in consequence of the absence then of a material witness, the trial was postponed to the present Assizes. . _ _ Then... were upwards of thirty witnesses examined against t h e prisoner, and three for him, to account for his move ments in the previous part of the night of the tire. The Jury retired to consider their verdict. The prisoner, who stood very firmly at the hir all day, , :o w fainted from weakness, and from the pain caused by an attack of hernia, to which he was subject. He was taken out into the gaol, attended by the surgeon. The Jury soon returned, and found a verdict of Not Guilty. Willi a m Wells was indicted for having, on the night of the 14th of May last, in the parish of Louth, in this county, viol ntly assaulted Jane Rouse, with intent to corn :nit a capital offence. The prisoner is a strong and p ower f u l, b ut coarse-look ing man, about thirty years of age. The prosecutrix WEIS a girl of fourteen only. On being examined by Mr. CURZON, the Counsel for the prosecution, she stated that, on th e morn i ng of the 14th of May, she went with Ann H ar d y , anot h er young woman, to the fair of Louth. It rained i n the evening, arid she and the ether young woman, and a young man, a friend of the latter, took shelter under a shed. The pri soner came and asked if he might take shelter there also; he did come under the shed, Ann Hardy and her friend left the shed, telling witness they would return soon. At ter they went, prisoner took witness to a barn, and there he made the assault on her. She cried for half an hour, and screamed for help, and the prisoner was abusing her ail the time. A Mr. and Mrs. Addinshall came at last, and the prisoner then went away. On cross-examination by Mr FIYNELLY, she said she had been 'walking about the fair from nine to six o'clock ; she was neither buying nor selling, nor did she go to be hired as servant. It was ten o'clock when she and the young woman were under the shed. She did not know where she and her friend went to. They did not come to her assistance though she screamed loud. The prisoner did not force her inro the barn; she did not make resist ance to going there, but she did not go there willingly. Mrs. Addinshall and her husband came to the barn on hearing the screams; they thought murder was committed. As they entered the barn the prisoner came out, and said, on hieing rsked what he was doing, that he was doing no thing. The presecutrix was then found ; her bonnet was all broken; she cried, and said the prisoner bad abused her. Prisoner asked the girl if she would take a guinea and be silent; she said no, nor two. A Surgeon, who examined both the prisoner and the girl at the time, said the girl w ie tossed about a good deal, but no other violence was effected. T , .e Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned JUDGE sentenced him to two years' imprisonment in one of the gaols of the county. vEircu v. TAYLOR. The plaintiff ic a respectable physician residing at Horn castle, in this county, and brought this action to recover a compensation in damages from the defendant, a gentleman residing in the county, for several libels written by him, and reflecting on the plaintiff's character. The plaintiff had formerly practised as surgeon and apothecary at Al ford, but he afterwards obtained a doctor's diploma from the Coll.ige of Aberdeen, and practiced ever since as a physician, and was the medical attendant of the defendant's sister for about eleven years, until her death. That lady had by her will left each of the plaintiff's three children 100/. There was also a bequest in it to the defendant ; but by a codicil subsequently added, after a quarrel with the def.-nd.ent and others of her family, the testatrix re voked the legacy given to him by her will. Nothing was given to the plaintiff or to his family by this codicil. The defendant, however, in October 1830, wrote him a letter, charging him with taking advantage of the confidence which his situation as a medical attendant gained for him with the testatrix, to induce her to quarrel with her family. He threatened to expose the Doctor, and accordingly he afterwards wrote a letter to a patient of the Doctor's at Horncastle, repeating the charge made in the letter to the Doctor himself, and describes him as like a Scotchman, taking advantage of his patients to extort money from them. He added that he was no Doctor, but an apothe cary, boldly assuming the former title. The defendant wrote 1: tiers to the like effect to three or four apothecaries in She neighbourhood, and all these letters were the libels of which the plaintiff complained. The letters were put in and read, and the other neces s try proofs made to sup;.ort the action.—Damages SOO/. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WAR-01E1 - CE, JCL% 27. 2d Regiment of Dragoon Guards—Lieut.

SUGA EL-The demand for %Vest India ►luscovades has been languid all the week, and in some instances a further reduction of 6,1. to Is. per cwt. has been submitted to, but the decline is not genera!, and the holders have as• sumed more firmness, and do not force sales in the present depressed state of trade ; the estimated purchases of the week are 3,500 hhds. and trs. The M arket is rather inure firm this afternoon. In the Refined Market this week there has been little alteration ; the wholesale grocers have been obliged to come to Market for immediate sup plies, having no stock ; they however purchased on low terms, on account of the languid state of trade. For ex port there have been few purchases. For packing lumps there is little or no demand this afternoon, 'nine few pur chases, however, have been made from 635. 6i. to 64.5., or 295. to 293. 6d. on board, and fine large at 655. In fine crashed some business was done in April and May last at Vs. for the Mediterranean, and in lowes of similar qu ility fur the Baltic at 355. ; since that period prices have been nominally 335. to 33+. 6 , 1., and there being no encouragement front the Mediterranean, the Stocks of the Refiners (bough only working on a very small scale) haOd accumulated, thereby enabling the exporters to come in this we •k at 325. for about 400 hhds. of fine quality, intended to shipi:e I for Trieste, Leghorn, and Constantinople. The present prices of lumps are at about a par with those of last y.•ar ; but referring back to the quotation of the raw ma terial, it will be fOund that the Refiners have to pay about 6+. more than in July last. In fine lumps and loaves there is a steady, though not extensive demand from the home trade. EAST INDIA SUGARS.-The only sale of East India Sugar reported is a small parcel of Siams at 235. a 255. 6d. nurturing SUGARS.—By public sale 3,221 bags Mau ritius sold heavily at rather lower prices, and a large pro portion was withdrawn; the brown sold 50s. 6d. to 51s. 6d. yellow and grey 525. and 03s. FOREIGN SUGARS.-Foreign Sugars art etill held with much firmness, but there are no sales to report. COFFEE.-Toe sales of Coffee have been about 800 casks Jamaica; a considerable proportion was taken in early in the week, but since then the holders hare been more inclined to meet the buyers, by submitting to a re duction in price (which has facilitated sales to some extent), which is, on the fine qualities, from fine fine ord. 35., and on triage and ord. 3a. a .ss. (the latter reduction is on ac count of extensive supplies being brought forward), good ord. 70s. and 765., fine ord. 77e. a 785., ord. and triage 625. a 731. The Havannah at public sale was taken in at prices 2s. lower. There are no transactions by private contract to report. This day's public sales, 269 hhds. SI barrels 2,244 bags La Guyra and Porto Meo Coffees, were all taken in at high prices, ---very few offers were wade ; 36 casks of British Plantation sold at rather higher prices. - RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rum Market continues very dull ; the purchases are inconsiderable, and no alteration in [slices can be stated. The home consump tion of brandy having become extensive, on account of the late alarm respecting cholera, the demand in the Market has improved, but the prices are only a Nhade higher. In Geneva there are no transactions to report. TALLOW.--The Tallow Market remains in a languid state; there is little variation in the prices. Srsces.—There is little alteration in Spicer; goad Pi ins nto sold 6d. and bid. farmer prices. SA LTPETR.E.-The sties are about! 6,000 begs, past sold 30s. 6d. a 335. ; there is oot touch doing. RICE —The public sale this forenoon went off at a shade lower, l4s, and 144. 6d, COTTON.-The Cotton Market is without alteration. The sales were 430 Surat, ord. to good 4id. and sd. ; 200 Madras, good fair 4iil. ; ';0 Bengal, good fair ; 400 Bowtd, mid. and fair to good fair 5i I. a bid. l lie market is very film this afternoon. t✓ocrtr~t AL.—This d I's public sale 30 bags Cochi neal, a parcel of original black grain, and sold from 7.. 3d. a 8, 101. per lb. according to quality, at former rates ; one bag very interior to the rest was bought in at Lisa 9d. consequence of its having been decided that no reduction in the Customs duty on currants should take place, there has been rather more inquiry to-day, the grocers at presen' holding only small stocks; in other de scriptions very little doing. Ivinco —The only transactions reported in Indigo are small parcels of the Litter part of the India House sale, which have been taken at sale prices. The Market is dull. PRICE OF SUGAR. The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the week ending the '.24th day of June, 1632, is 2,zs. 2:id. per Hundred NVeight, exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the Importation thereof into Great Britain.
