APRIL 5, 1836. We never think of Lord GLENELO without being re• Minded of Lord BYRON'S line— " Hail, muse, &e. !—we left Juan sleeping." The noble secretary of the colonies has been accused of indolent and drowsy habits which have interfered with the proper discharge of his duties during a rather long and useless official life; but if ever he was under the in fluence of opium or laziness, or . any other incentive of sleep, it is at .the present moment. NEtto fiddled when Rome was burning; Lord GLENELG is playing upon his highland bagiiipes, in bed, when our colonial empire is: going headlong to destruction. in Canada . : fiflatnaic4iti'D . 4 l tiiiati; itlilleMatiri tits, - at the Cape of Good Hope, in Newfoundland, and in New South Wales, the whole frame-work of society is in a state of lamentable disorganization. The astounding ignorance of governors in one place, of cotnrni...;sioners in another, of banded conspirators in a.third, of insolent demagogues and reckless scoundrels in the two last men tioned settlements, are fast-precipitating a colonial con vulsion which must end in blood, weaken the resources, and paralyze the credit of the mother Country. It is a singular fatuity that where the people are right, • as in Jamaica, 'Demerara, and the West India colonies generally, the British government, as 'advised by Lcid GLENELG, take the side of their own insolent and igno-, rant delegates. On the other hand, where the mob are the aggressors, as in Lower Canada, Newfoundland, and New South Wales, the government take the side of the rebel and incendiary party. In Upper Canada Sir FRAN CIS HEAD, the Bubble of the Brunnens, is found making War upon loyalty and British interests. In Lower Ca nada Lord GOSFORD is commissioned to redress the al leged grievances of the residents and .restore peace to • that distracted colony. But how does he proceed to se cure these desirable objects? Why, by throwing himself into the arms of a profligate' French faction who aim at g. 3l lprem e power in that country; and who, unless sub jected by the strong red hand, will never cease the work of agitation until they have plunged England into.a civil war in` he first instance, and eventually into a war with the United States. Lord GOSFORD and Sir FRANCIS gong HEAD, as the Times calls . him, are no more com petent qualified to allay the distractions of Canada than Mr. WAELEY is to set the Thames on fire or Mr. .GiTLtlg to filithe chair of the Astronomer Royal. '3O • 4 rit Lord &too, too, who should have been confined to his ''''~Yacht for life, for reasons which we do not choose to ex ' 1113 10, has, by some strange conjunction of the stars, for , tonate for him but calamitous to' his country, been im pressed into the government of the important colony ofJa 1, "'aka- It would not have been more absurd to have . Made him Lord High Admiral. He could not have corn tnitted more blunders at the noise Guards had the Lord of SLIGO been appointed Commander-in-Chief.. What a miserable record have his speeches and despatches formed for the information or the iidicule of his employers ! He has had the singularly bad fortune to have every return which he has transmitted to head quarters most formally denied and contradicted by the planters and : proprietors of Jamaica: His official 'representations; concocted evi tiently for party purposes, have been- foolishly extrava- Mt. He has speCulated in statements which the Ja , 11 • 14 ica planters have offered to disprove, and which they sert to be false. He professed to conciliate those whoin , he has exa s p era t e d, and the assembly which he might nave soothed by his courtesy, and conciliated by his sense of Justice , have demanded an apology at his hands. Lord SLIGO should have apologised. It would have Ponrtrayed no new feature in his life and character. The bad feeling which Lord SLIGO has created can only be r emedied by the removal or the recall of Lord SLIGO. Perhaps the sooner the better. Irish gentlemen have eno ugh, or, to speak by the book, will have enough to do at home in the preservation of their paternal estates, mortgaged as many of them are. Despite their whig- Fish connection, and their assumed liberalism, they will have to fi g h t f or t h e sa id demesnes beiViemany years are o vet% If they should lose them altogether perhaps it will b@ a just p un i s h men t. Th ey can only hol d or rega i n Sby the aid of the prote s t an t s o f E ng l an d. If L or d to do not hasten to pray for his recall, and do not re re- turn to I re l an d, p er h a p s h e w ill fi n d i t advisable to enter into,as poor RAPHAEL did, a "safe speculation" with U, CONNELL. What a humiliating condition for a man to he reduced to ! Ali in Jamaica, so is it in Demerara. A gentleman, and, we believe a soldier too, of the nam e o f Si r J AMES ki4 RMICRAti, &MR, has been the lord of misrule in this " ! ! - Nrtunate colon,r. His reign in that valuable depend-. !nay reminds no of some of the imperious acts of eccen -s,:i'llie idiotis m or d ownr i g ht m a dness Which we re common t to the era of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. ti x-1 04 moats • mount, SMYTH is one of those outre persons . nejoies in the idea that originality is the only proof' 4 g t riitic,and that absurdity when united with power is a concomitant OT superior, statesmanship, preefsely in the same way that a philosophical lunatic imagines that he is exquisitely fashionable when he eats his soup with the handle instead of the bowl of the spoon: The knight or, Demerara may not be so fastidious, and we have no wish to try his rationality by the awkward test of his policy. All we know is that he is not fit to govern that colony; and, judging by his rash acts and his extensive unpopula rity, we should say, that so far from being qualified to govern so important a possession, he is not fit to manage the interesting concerns of an English gaol. In this last named receptacle of freedom it is indisrensable for the peace and comfort of the inmates that ils...4overnor should be respected. In Demerara Sir CartititicuAEt. SMYTH is not respected. He has no friends among those whom it is his pleasure to coerce, his delight to libel, or h:s convenience to court. He is the scathed tree of. the colony. The savage looks upon-tra - .4'a curse ; the chris tian as a landmark, which, according to the MOSAIC sYs-: tem, it is no crime to remove. It is one thing to respect power; but it is quite another thing to countenance folly. The functionary. may be honest and sincere ; he may, ,nevertheless, be not overburdened With sense. He may be liberal; but be may be a dunce, a dupe, and, a fool. We have not the room necessary to follow up this sub ject in - all its important points, otherwise we should lead Lord GLENELG to pass the holidays among his liberal friends in New South Wales. As it is, we can only af ford to visit Newfoundland. In that colony we find the rebellious Roman catholic settlers exercising the whole powers of the goVerprnent. A friend has favoured us with a late number of the Public Ledger, one of the most,if not the only respectable newspaper published in the island. Welnd hilt the follAing " Matters are bad enough as they are. The experiment—if it really was an experiment—of granting to this country a local legislature with an almost unlimited franchise, was a great and fatal error, not productive of the smallest advantage, but pro ducing strife and discord where unanimity aod the best feelings had prevailed- -it was investing a class of people with political power Who knew not how to use it, anti where these contentions will end, unless the governmentinterfere and repair theeyil, Heaven only knows. Sure we are, that the removal of Chief Justice Boidton would not heal the differences, but would be a useless concession to a base, unprincipled faction, which nothing can satisfy but an overthrow of the constituted authorities and the establishment of their own supremacy." This abuse of political power is explained by sundry painful and practical illustrations. For instance, we find these popish electors bidding defiance to the military, and endeavouring to excite a tumult by parading through the streets the remains of a deceased soldier supposed to be a political partizan. They were only dispersed by the troops charging them at the point of the bayonet •and threatening to fire upon them. The same lawless per sons also demand the recall and degradation of Mr. Chief Justice BOULTON, whose serious offence is that he had passed sentence upon the conductor of a radical and in cendiary paper who bad been convicted of libel by a jury, and had inflicted punishment upon a popish priest who had joined in some riotous proceedings. For this meri torious respect for law, and the maintenance of the pub lic peace, the Chief Justice is denounced by the popish faction. No doubt it is a serious aggravation of his of fence that the learned judge is a protestant. The way in which the petition for his removal is got up is thus graphically described in the Public Ledger : "As an instance, however, of the manner in which petitions in Newfoundland are sometimes gotten up, we may give the following extract of a letter &um Brigus, dated the 10th in stant: " •On Sunday last, a guard was placed at the door of the Catholic Chapel to deter any one from escaping without hav ing first signed the petition relative to the removal of His Ho nour Chief Justice Boulton—or rather, the petition was not signed by themselves, but a person was appointed to take down the people's names as they were ordered forward by their re verend pastor, Father Mackin—the person acting as scribe then announcing to the guard, with a loud voice, that the'indi viduals had qualified themselves and may be permitted to de- • part. Is not this too bad! too much like compulsive slavery! too shocking in a country under the wholesome government of Great Britain ! 1 can verify the truth of what I state, for my faithful servant looked terrified while he related it, and was much afraid that his name was placed to the document which . was so foul a libel upon the Chief Justice.' " "Something equivalent to the same compulsory proceed ings has been exhibited here—the petition against the Chief Justice having been placed for signature near the door of the catholic chapel Sunday aAer Sunday, with what effect, may well be understood. What intrinsic value, we may ask, can, possibly attach to such a document, even could we adinit that it had received the signatures of 20,000 individuals? The _whole...affair is as wickell asit,is_prep2skerous, and tells very pointedly against i'Le characierif the catfiolic•prieithOod hire, who have been fur some years past such banes to the peace and happiness of .this once undivided community." Such is the •state or affairs in Newfoundland. That now hapless island is Ireland in miniature. The brutal and ignorant priesthood, transported thither from May nooth, are working every kind of mischief, and seem re solved to usurp all the functions of the executive govern• ment. Lord GLENULG sleeps, while the priests are wide awake. He snores while they riot. There must be an end to this soon, and the sooner the better. LONDON LATEST NEWS.

THE EASTER VESTRY.—The general annual vestry of the parish of Liverpool will be holden this day at St. Nicholas's Church for the purpose of electing parish-officers and select ves trymen for the ensuing year. The Reform Association threaten, we understand, to remove every member of the present vestry, not on the ground of incompetence, or of any proved or even alleged misconduct, but simply because they are suspected of holding tory opinions, and, therefore, of being inimical to the introduction of any paltry system which would have the effect of abridging the comforts of tne poor, or of any petty jobbing to en rirh a few hangers-on by the creation of useless places. 'these are unquestionably good radical reasons why they should be dis missed from office; however, they will, we suspect, have but very little weight with those who pay the greater part of our local taxes, and who, if we mistake not, doubt the wisdom of aPplying the town-council system, of economy to the manage ment of the affairs of the uarish. e scarcely need recommend the substantial householaers and other principal rate-pavers, from whose pockets the parish funds are chiefly drawn, to lie in attendance to support by their hands, and. if necessary, by their votes, the gentlemen who will be proposed by the conservative, or church-and-king party. CHESTER THEATRE.—Mr. Raymond will open the Chester Theatre for a short season, to commence on the 2d of May. WELLINGTON Rooms.—The,lait ball for the season at, these rooms will take place this evening. MNSTER .

CAPTURE OP A GANG OP HIGH W AYNIgNI .—Five men were apprehended in-Manchester on Widnesday, who are. supposed to have been concerned in several highway robberies which have lately been Cominittettio the - neighbourhood of that town. They were discovetyd through an attempt to pawn a gold watch by one of the party who was given into custody by the pawn broker on suspicion of haying stolen that article. After an ex amination before the magistrates they were remanded for a week. TAN CONVICTS AT LANCASTER.—The three men, Rowland Ileald,.Evan 'Brindle, and Thomas Rushton, who were tried at Lancaster on Tuesday, found guilty, and sentenced to be exe cuted orahnisday for the wilful murder of Robert Howson, a game-keeper, were reprieved by Lord Denman before he left Lancaster on Wednesday morning. HE PARLIAMENTARY A P ItICULTURAL COMMIT TEES .—Th e select committees of both houses of Parliament are still sitting. Much useful and valuable information has been given by three gentlemen of Liverpool, Nit. James Scott, Mr. Joseph Seindars. and Mr. David Hodgson. who were thanked by each committee for the distinct, candid, and unbiassed manner in which they gave their evidence. . TRINITY HARBOUR, FRITH OF FORTH. — The bill for con structing a low water harbour in the noble estuary of the Frith of Forth is now before a committee of the House of Commons, with every prospect of being carried to the other house of par liament. As a public work, few of greater importance to the commerce of that part of Scotland, or promising more success ful results to its promoters, have bean undertaken in this age of improvement. The site selected for the construction of Tri .tity Harbour will be the terminus of two very important lines of Road, namely, the Glasgow and Edinburgh, and tie Edin burgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railways. In addition to these advantages, it also will possess the still greater advantage of af fording a safe asylum to the steam vessels navigating the Forth. the largest class of merchantmen, or first-rate line of battie ships. The Company's Prospectus will be found in our adver tising columns. DEATH OF Mr. RUTEIVEN, M.P. FOR DUBLIN.—As soon as the Dublin election committee had assembled on Thursday, Mr. Murphy, the agent for Mr. Ruthven, announced that the death of his client had taken place that morning, and therefore that he should no longer attend to defend his seat. Mr. Joy, as counsel for Mr. O'Connell, urged the committee to adjourn for thirty days; but, without hearing the arguments: of Mr. Harrison for the petitioners, the comutittee decided upon sitting from day to day until the investigation was closed. Until then, we presume, a new writ will not be isstiA tosupply the vacancy, treatise it would supersede the inquiry now peuding: an inquiry tvitich will in all probability terntitt.tle tvith a declaration that Mr. It uthven tvas 'tuft the tightful tepresentative of the eitr of Dublim THE LIVERPOOL. STANDARD:. and costs, amounting td E2l. When the officer wept to put the execution into effect, .he was met by .;auses, who said, "this execution is against Joshua, all these goods are mine, Joshua has nothing to do with them." The jury having before dis believed, ,James, the . officer concluded he was justified in doing the same. the officer replied " yes; and if the executidn had been against you, phi would have said the property belongs to Joshua." He cont coded that it. was a fraudulent transaction, in. order to render the verdict .Ilr. Cotterill had obtained, futi,e. The .horses were sold by pubic auction, of Which hatid, bids were posted. One had been sold for Ed 18s., which the brother Joseph, who ;ittended r t he sale, bought. An dnn doubt, if any or the horses hid been going below their value be would have boughtthem. It was fair to presume that they fetched . as _much as they were Worth. Another of the horses had been sold for £5 10s.; another fur 165., and the fourth for £2 Ws.; 'thus, not selling for the amount of the.debt which it was the interest of the auctioner to get. A person named Heaton, had some time before repaired One ; of the waggons, and had been obliged to seize the waggon for payment: The name on the waggon when, seized was Joshua 'Farrar, on turning the plate James Farrar, was on the other side: This circumstance corroborated his statement, that the brothers were united together to de fraud. H e called . . John Clcasley, who deposed to.ibeing in the employment of Mr. Cotterid, and meeting James Farrar, who ordered the hay, and.he delivered it to Joshua, who said it was right. They could not get paid fur the hay, and brought an action against Joshua for the 'amount, and James was examined as a witness, and said Joshua had nothing to tlo with it, that al,l was his pro perty. Mr. Cotterill, however, succeeded. in his action. Richard Cleasley corroborated this statement. Joseph Dunwell deposed to Farrar and Co. being. over the dtior of•Farrar's office. Wiliam Heaton deposed to his father being a wheelwright, and having repaired the 'waggon to the amount of £5, which they could not get paid. They took the waggon in execution in cons (pence in March, 183.3. Joshua was then on the waggon; James's name had always been so before.,-Cross. examined: had seen James and Joseph Farrar on the waggon, but *never before saw Joshua's dame on the waggon. William 1 - lailcoelt„ follower. depsed to. seizing the waggon in March,, IS:33, : aud finding Joshua's name on it ; on taking the plate off he found James's name ou the other side. Several other witnesses were examined, who corroborated these statements. • Mr. CRESS WELL replied at great length. He - contended that it was absurd to suppose that change of name on the waggon was done for the purpose of defrauding creditors; for what were the circumstancos? Au execution had been &dallied- against Joshua, and they changed James's name on. the the wagon from James to Joshua, as if to get the waggon taken in execu tion. There could be no credence given to the witness's state- Helstsoildienled the idea of the norses being sold for their full value. One had been sold for 16s. cit was' worth more than that for its shoes and doe's meat. Th, JUDG E summed up. It would be for the jury to consider whether a joint interest existed amongst the parties or not. In case they found their verdict for the plaintiff tl►ey must find the value of the horses. If they found that Jones anti Joshua were partners, they would find a verdict of one-half the value for the plaintiff; if they faund 'ail three brothers in partnership they would give one-third the value-of the h•+rses to the plaintiff.

The plaintiff in this case consented to refer the case to arbi tration. .tux . ws, V. HA NT. Mr. BRANDT appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Win 11T^ MAN and Mr. ALEX AN DER for the defence. The plaintiff in this case is. a stationer at Norwich, and sought to recover the suin of £5O alledged to be due to him by defendant, whd is a jeweller. residing at Manchester. Defendant pleaded a set off of £4B for goods sold and money lent. Mr. A4y.AtiDl , :it, for the defendant, proceeded to show the set off— 1831, On the 27th of January, defendant was at Yarmouth, and the plaintiff there, having known him pre viouslY, sold to him a musical snuff-box. a pearl broach, and a diamond ring-. naintiff then asked him to lend him £lB which he did do. He also sold him four gross of pencils, and four ()Toss of steel pens : at amount due for all which amounted to £4B 10s., WhiCh was the set off: He called John Wright; who deposed to defendant being a dealer in miscellaneous . articles, and living at Manchester. He saw plaintiff at Yarmouth at the beginning of 1833; defendant was also present. Defendant sold plaintiff a musical, box for £4. He also sold him a diarnond ring for £5, is. 0., and a pearl broach for £3 10s. 0. Plaintiff then requested a loan of de fendant of £lB which 'defendant lent bins.

Cross-examined by Mi. BRAN ow. Defendant did not carry a pack or a bag; he conveyed his goods about by coach. Mr. Hart had no stated residence. Mr. Henr Y y _armouth at the tine, when the plaintiff bought • Hart, the brother of defendant, deposed to being preSent at those, things ,and borrowed the money of his brother. He also sold „;Doris for his brother, The whole sum due to his brother heard the order given for the pencils and the pens. He also amounted to £1 ; ? , Ids. He had applied for that sum several times without success.. • Mr. BRAN DT. in defence said, though he did not expect it in the first instance. yet be should be able to prove an alibi, and Show that on thatrlay, th 4 27th of January, 1&31. the plaintiff itistead of being at-Yarmotrth was at his own house at Norwich. He called Edward Adams,- who deposed to Mr. Junguis being at Nor on thoi.27th of Jannary, .031, antl.lhAt be_tlavith .hint nearly all the day. He remembered that day because Mr;Vi ning, a ear, from London was engaged at the Theatre, and he went to see him. On that very day the plaintiff was removing from one house to another, and he assisted him to remove his goods anti went "star gazing" at night with him. Ile was with him all day and he certainly had not time to go to Yarmouth and.back, a dista.!..e of Seventeen miles without his knowing. • Cross-examined by Mr. ALEXANDER. He had been in diffi culties, and had been obliged to ma/brace the insolvent act. It was far from a "cordial embrace" on his part.. He came in contact with that einbrace sometime in June ' '3l. He hint asked Mr. - Hart fur money and had been refused. Since his insol 'venev he had been living in Norwich, in the employment of Mr JOsePh Bridwell as a landscape painter. Mr. Joseph Bridwell deposed to hearing Bright, 7n ing, ask "which was Junguis?" (the plaintiff) . when he fgdain tiff ) and another was passing.

It was impossible to believe the plaintifrs — witneises. How did one man remember the precise day that the;qpkrptiff was said to be at Yarmouth, when he (witness) stated he' was in Norwich? Why by seeing a "star" at the Theatre at the very time, when, from his own evidence he was in difficulties, and not likely-to attend such a place. If this gave a verdict to plaintiff, they must stamp defendant's witnesses with the ktoss• . est perjury. The JurtGE in summing lip said if they disbelieved the de fendant they must also disbelieve his two witnesses. The ere dihilitv of all hunk together.

George Ca Bridpetralligan, (29) and Peter Brown, (37) were ch4r,red with having on the tith of October last coun terfeited two sixpences. • Mr. Amusreomu and Sergeant ATCFMRLEY appeared on the part of the crown, awl Mr. \VILKINS defended Geo. Calligan. Mr. Sergeant ATCHEItLEY, in opening the case, said the pri soners were charged with counterfeiting some silver money. For reasons which occurred one of the police-officers of Liver pool went to a place called Fir-place. They found the dour of the house they went to fast. On effecting an entrance they found the three prisoners at the bar in the room. In the first place they found two good sixpences, and afterwards found some counterfeit sixpences. They alsti found a pipe and a plaster of paris cast, and some metal in the act of being.inelted, to gether with a knife and a file. There was one sixpence pre pared, and another partly so. Geo. Calligan was seen In the act of destroying a mould, and a woman was concerned in the casting; the other prisoner ran away, and on being taken said he had only been there a few 'minutes, and was no way con cerned. They would judge from the evidence whether all the parties were 'concerned. James Halsal, constable, deposed to entering the house, and finding a cup containiwz some metal, a pipe, some melted me tal which had run amongst the cinders, and 'a plaster of paris cast. ”-• James'Ainsworth. constable, deposed to Brown running away, and being stopped' . o one of his assistants. He said he had not been there above one or two minutes, and had gone to bor row it fork. He mig.it not have been there long; he did not know.

Ebon, -- ix": - gWi . 29, Thomas Eastwood, 'Ai. and Sidney Kay were indicted for having assaulted Mr. Albert Hudson Royds at Middleton in September last, and for having stolen from his person ss. and a wech. They were also charged with having assaulted Mr. Win. Royds; and stolen from his person t h reesove reigns and 45., a pocket-book, and other articles, his - property. Mr. BRANDT and Mr. PEEL appeared for the prosecutor; Dr. linoWN defended Bison and Eastwood, and Mr. NV mictNs defended Kay. Mr. BRANDT stated the case. The three prisoners were charged with robbing Mr, Royds and his brother on the night of the 2Ph of September. They were returning from Manches ter to 'their father's house near Rochdale at about ten o'clock, and arrived at Rochdale about eleveu o'clock. It was then a Starlight night. They then proceeded about three miles beyond Middleton, and were engaged in a.conversation, which was a singular coincidence, about a previous robbery which had taken place a short time before at that very spot. The subject was only half finished when sis or seven men rushed out of a thicket upon them.. Mr. Royds succeeded in getting away, but, hearing the cries of his brother, he was induced to return to his assist ance, and before doing so took the. precaution of slipping his watch down into his boots' Ile rode right amongst the parties, as if to charge them and drive them away. He was presently surrounded and beaten. The horse, in whose strength he seemed to rely, struck out violently with his forefeet, and the vengeance of the party seemed to have been tiattly directed against himself, and partly against his horse. hey used Mr. Royds with great violence, but did not succeed in getting him off . his horse. 'They apparently had some consciousness where his watch was, and pulled off his boots and gOt it. During this time he had an opportunity of seeing the faces of two of the party with great nistinetness. Of co u rse they would scrutinise that evidence, because on that point much depended, Information was conveyed to the police-office, and assistance was. procured, and lights and fee marks were discovered where the' struggle had taken place which had been found to correspond with the shoes of one of the prisoners:and in the track of those feet marks was found the sock and the boots - of Mr: Royds. One of thepri soners was found, *hen taken, to have a severe wound on his forehead, and it wait su pposed to have been inflicted by the horse when plunging. - A: number of persons werVtaken into custody, and Mr. Royds at once identifiml the three prisoners out of them. They were committed ; and whilst the inquiry was pending be fore-the magistrates, and the prisoners were in custody, a.con -re'rarrirn had , Weri - ,iVe'rfieard li•rivna• of Orli constables, whiiii would be proved, and which was a -strOng addition to the eVi dence of the prosecutor He would now call their attention to the evidence of the witnesses. ' Dr. BROWN applied to have all the witnessclint tHose under examination ordered out of court. . _ . Mr. Albert Hudson Royde said, his father lied near X•cli dale. .He and his brother were returnin house on the. night of the 24th September from Mr. Milnes'S, of Manchester, where they had been dining.

There was a brick field between the place called Slattox and 'Filth . Smithy. He . had noticed it before that night, and had heard of a robbery being committed there before. He was talking about the rob bery when he got opposite to the place. and whilst doing so he received a blow on the head, which threw hint on his horse's__ neck. He recovered himself, and shouted " fittiloa!” and im mediately afterwards received a great number of blows. Ile no ticed four or five men at that time.' The horse he was on Was a very spirited horse, and he got away trona them. After having. gone about twenty yards he thought he heard his brother moan. He then slipped his watch inside his dress, in the hope that it might get into his boots, and then returned hack to his brother's assistance. When he got up to him he saw sx or eight men en him. He then rode right amongst them, and his horse foeght beautifully With his mouth and fore feet, and he fancied that his • horse struck:the men with his fore feet.• The men then a.,lain at tacked him, and one of them attemptCd to lay hot(' of his bridle.' It was the prisoner Ekon. It was a fine stat-light night. There was an attempt made to get him off his - horse by pulling his legs. He said if they would give over abusing him he would give them his money. act then gave them his money—a few shillings: They had knocked his hat off his head ; he told them now they had got his money they should behave tike men, anti give hint his hat, and the prisoner Eastwood gave him his hat. 'Before he gave them his money he found resistance wonld be of no use, and he then did his best to see the men, that he might recognise them again. He was sure Eastwood was - the man who gaVe him his hat back. His watch had stopped abov - e his 'knee, and they discovered it and drew it down his leg, and pelted off his bontsj and sock Lhis watch fell, and the-prisoner Sidney Kay. picked it itp He had no doubt about it. Most of the men were armed with poles. He noticed Kay striking him 'also. 'He saw distinctly that they went across the bricktield after they left. They went through a gap in the hedge, called a stangs. When they were gone he found his brother unable to tell what had happened to him; he did not know what had become of the servant. He took his brother and left him at Trutt Smithy toll house. He theta went to Rochdale, about three miles off, to get assistance. - He arrived at the constable's house about twelve o'clock, and Mr. Johnson sent his son Peter back with him. When they had got to the place they found . some men trearchin , with a light, and he pointed out the place where the robbery had been committed and thegap in the hedge where the men had gone through. He had afterwards to see a surgeon his shoulder was dislocated.. He found his, horse had been se verely breiSed and one of his eves knocked out. tie went on the Saturday to.the lock-upat Rochdale, anti saw threepersons_ there in custody whom he identified as the parties who had ,A-obbed him. . Cross-examined by Dr. BROWN.—IIe was alarmed at first on 'the blows being struck; - 'hut• not afterwards.- •He had the oppor... tunity f of seeing the party attacking him a couple of minutes.

He had never authorised any one to offer a reward to Kaye to confess the fact. He had never authorised Johnson to promise prisoner Kay a reward if he would confess, .or to give him a new suit of clothes. Benjamin Galtrip deposed to being. servant with Mr. lioyds, and to riding behind them to Trub Smithy, to where his master was attacked. They knocked his hat off, and took hold of his heg, and got his foot out of the stirrup. He thentinned orse round and galloped off to Middleton for assistance, and he returned to the spot in a short time with five or six men. Cross-examined by Dr. BROW INT.—He did not take any notice of the stars that night. He never saw a light got. lie went to the Trumpeter public-house, at Middleton, and got some per sons to come back with hitn. Ile expected to find his master dead when he got back.

His father was ill et the time, and he returned with Mr. Lloyds to the place where the robbery had been committed, Which Mr. Royds pointed out to him. They left their horses at Slattox, and then returned to the place. h was a cold star light night. They got a light at Slattox. When they got to the gap in the hedge where. the thieves had gone through, called a stony, they noticed some foot-marks on both sides of it There were the feet-marks of five or •six different persons, and one pair were peculiar. The impression was as if the toes of the shoes had been mended, and one of them made au he pi es sion as if there were four roils on one side and three on the other, with a gap as if a nail was out. He traced these steps across the field to a gap which led to an adjoining field. 'there was a large gutter where they bad walked backwards and for wards as if they had not been able to get over, and the shoe marks here were quite distinct, end one of the shoe marks was Peculiar, it was the same as that at the stetagg: He went again la the afternoon by u his fathers direction, accompanied Telor and Edmnd Collins, constables.

John Tanner (30), James . Entaisle (39), Thomas Grime ( 9 .8), were charged With having maliciously cui and. Wounded Win. Billlock, a „vine kOeper, at Withuell, with the intention to do lion some bodily ham. The indictment set forth that Lawrenee Robinson had assaulted William Bullock, with the intent to murder him, and that he was aided in so doing by the other, four prisoners. Council for the prosecution, Mr. Brandt and Mr. Milton; council for the defence of Robinson, Heiden, Entwisie arid Grime, Dr. Brown. Turner was undefended. William Bullock examined.-1 am principal gamekeeper to Mr. Stephen Blair, who has the game of Withnell and Stireeth. On the 11th October, at half-past one o'clock, I went out and called upon Thomas Burton, an assistant keeper. We went together Staneth farm in Withnell, When we got to the pOsture below the barn, we heard a dog hunting Following the sound we went tOWards a stone bridge, and there found nets had been set to catch hares. .We again heard the dog, and following the sound crossed some meadows to a gap, which Barton crossed, and in doing so he knocked down the corner of a net. .I handed the gun over to Barton, and immediately proceeded to cross the fence, when I got entangled in the-net. Four men had previeuslY started from the gap, and were now running away. Barton ran after them, leaving the gun behind him. There were fifteen or sixteeen men coining down the field. One of these was a man named William Howarth who Was not among the prisoners. This man led the others, and witness saw him strike at Barton, but he did not hit him. Wit ness having now recovered his gun, said—" Stop that work my lads, or I'll put one of these barrels into you. Now my lack, drop it, and take up your taCkle, or else you'll come into some trouble. Go away; and I'll say no more of it," The prisoners were armed with sticks, which had large lumps or nubs to them. I stood remonstrating with them for about ten minutes, after which, as they continued to advanCe, I kept baning, to get out of the way. As I was going back - my right foot- got into it glitter, which caused me - to fall back, upon, which Howarth rushed forward and caught me about the body; calling for the others to come forward. The prisoner, Lawrence Robinson, had in his hand a thong, to which was atta,cherta . pleeeof lead or iron, which might weigh about 'a• polity' and a half. This, he (Robinson) swung round his head, and dashed with violence against my head. I was . .stutined for a moment and thought I was killed. My gun was then taken front me, as I had not strength to hold it any longer. 1;-cried out; " Lads, spare my life." All the others struck at me; bor. I am- unable to.say who, they were. My clothes were ctrl through, and. my head bled profusely. The prosecutor identified the five prisoner as hav ing been 'present in the field on the night in question. . Dr. BROWN cross-examined the witness at some length, when it appeared that the prosecutor had let. a bull-dog, which he kept for the purpose of watching for poachers ) loose upon the Prisoners before they had offered him any provocation. They were running away at the time: It also appeared that the gun which he carried was a double-barrelled gun- which' was loaded with No. 4 shot, and which he presented at thelmachers before they had assaulted him. Thomas Barton, an assistant-gamekeeper in Mr. Blain's em ployment, corroborated the evidence of the last witness; and a surgeon, from Bolton, explained the nature and extent of the injuries the prosecutor had received. Dr.. BnowN, for the defence, called several Witnesses to prove an alibi for the prisoners Greene. Entwisle, Holden, and Ro binson. The prisoner Turner put in a written defence, in which it was stated that he was present on the alight on which the af fray took place, but he carried no weapon nor used any violence to the keepers. He prayed the merciful consideration of the court, in consequence of having a large family of small children and heving been in prison since last October. He'denied that any of the prisoners at the bar were present but himself. The learned Ju OGE summed up the evidence at great length. His lordship said the circumstance of a dog having been kept for the purpose of hunting men was altogether iinjustitiaLle; he begged the jury to bear in • mind that the gamekeepers had let this dog loose upon the offending parties. At the same time he gave his opinion that it was lawful for`a gamekeeper to carry a gun for the purpose. of defending himself against any violence from poachers whom he might encounter on grounds intrusted to his care. _ _ _ At the cohclusion of the charge the jury retired. They re turned in about a quarter of an hour, and gave a verdict of Guilty against the prisoners, under all the counts of the indict ment save the two - last. Grime and Turner they recommended to the merciful consideration of the court. The judge deferred passing sentence. BRUTAL FIGHTING.-MANSLAUGHTER. William Renshaw, (28) Joseph Renshaw, (20) and Thomas Charlton, (3-I) were indicted for the manslaughter of James Miller, at Heaton Norris, near Manchester. The indictment charged the two !atter prisoners with aiding, abetting, and en couraging William Renshaw, in killing and slaving the de ceased. Mr. ARMSTRONG appeared for the prosecution, and Dr. BROWN defended the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoners, the de ceased, and a number of persons were drinking.together in the li's Head public.house, at Heaton Norris, last new year's day ; and in consequence of some dispute having; arisen between the prisoner, Wm. Renshaw, and the deceased'. they both strip ped to fight. While Miller was down, the prisoner, Renshaw, paused him in various parts of his body, and deceaSed, on get _tiny up, attemptid to choke the prisoner by seizing him by the throat. The prisoner again threw deceased down, and upon his being taken up and exposed to the air at the door, it was found he was dead. Witnesses were called who proved that the two other prisoners, Renshaw and Charlton, repeatedly encouraged the other prisoner and the deceased to continue • the tight. -It appeared the three _prisoners hail borne a good character up to the tine of the unfortunate occurrence. llis lordship thought it unnecessary to sum up the evidence. It was quite clear the deceased had come to his death • by the blows or kicks inflicted upon him by the prisoner, Win. Ren shaw. It was likewise evidvit that The other two prisoners were present aiding and encouraging the fight. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, but recommended Win. Ren shaw eif tile& in eonsequen, of the provocation hellad. rem ceived from the deceased. The jury thought the other two pri soners were much more to blame than Win. Renshaw. The JUDGE concurred in the verdict of the jury •' —that was his opinion. In passing sentence, his lordship oliserved that the brutal practice of up an down fighting, which, he regretted -to say, w.ts of frequent occurrence in this county, had induced. individuals in his situation, on previous occasions, to visit the -offendeis with a more severe p u nishment than he should that peared t, have been considerable p day pass pOU the prisoners.

Mr. WIGHTMAN and Mr.Cßesswßi.t, appeared for the plain tiff; and Mr. ALEXANDER and Mr. BRANDT defended the case. This was an 'action brought by the' plaintiff to recover the value of four horses, which had been Illegally seized. • The plaintiff (James Farrar) had carried on the business of a car rier at Manchester, and had a waggon and horses which plied part of the way to Halifax. The plaintiff had a brother at Hali fax who was in the same business, and who kept a waggon and horses to ply part of the way to Manchester. The horses of either party plied half way, and the other half was completed by the horses of that party nearest each end. The name of James was on the waggon of Mr. James Farrar, and Joseph was on the waggon of Mr. Joseph Farrar, and they were not comineu property. A debt had been contracted by a Mr. Joshua Fat tar, of Manchester, who carted the goods of James Farrar, amounting to £9, which he not-paying was sued for, and the debt and costs amounted to £2O. For this sum the waggon, and afterwards the four horses of James Farrar, of Manchester, had been taken in execution, and the plaintiff had in conse quence Jost his business. John Howard deposed to having been in the service of Mr. James Farrar, and that the four horses, one of which was worth £l3, another £B, and another about £2O, were bought by Mr. James Farrar and were his property. He horsed the waggons half way to Manchester. The hay and corn was bought and paid for by the plaintiff for his own horses. He managed, at that time, the whole of Mr. James Farrar's business. Thomas - Hadfield deposed to having been in Mr. James Far rar's service at the time, and to his waggon and horses having been seized, by which he lost his place. Joseph Farrar deposed to having a brother named Joshua, in Manchester, who carted his brother's goods. He was not a part ner with his brother; he had a cart of his own. He sold his brother a horse.in 1830 for £22. He recollected the time of the horses being seized; his brother had used them up to the time. Was present when the horses were sold in January, 1831. The horses were seasoned horses, and were worth about £5O or £bo. Beswick seized the property. Cross-examibed by Mr. A I.EXAN DEll.—He did not know the amount they sold for. He bought one of the horses, the one he had sold' his brother, for £4 18s. at the sale. The horses sold for very little. _ _ _ Mr. ALEXANDER, in reply, contended that it was an ex tremely hard case for the real defendant, Mr. Cotterill. for Mr. Beswick, the bailiff, would, of course, be exonerated by him. That Mr. Cotterill had sold hay to James, whip h Joshua said Was all right, and received. Joshua again applied for souse bay, and Mr. Cotterill asked for payment for the last, when be said that James was out collecting, and he should hate the money ai soon as they got it. Not being able to obtain his money for that and a subsequent limit of hay, Mr. Cotterill had brought his action in the county court against Joshua. James then Stands ult ns witness, and says Joshua has noihing to , do with that the hay is his.
