Butthe Monks have their Pockets all turned inside out; The Friars are kneeling And hunting and feeling ; , the floor, and the walls and the ceiling. The Cardinal drew Off each plum colour'd shoe, And left his.red Stockings exposed to the view ; He peeps and he feels In the toes and the heels, They turn up the dishes, they turn up the plates, They take up the poker and poke out the grates, The carpe There's turn up the rugs They examine the mugs, But no, no such thing, - They can't find the ring, And the Abbot declared that when nobody twigg'd it Some rascpl or other had popped in and prigg'd it. The Cardinal rose with a dignified look, He call'd for his candle, his bell, and his book, In holy anger, and pious grief, He solemnly curs'd that rascally thief. He cursed him at board, he cursed him in bed, From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head ; He cursed him in sleeping, that every night, He should dream of the Devil and wake in a fright, He cursed him in eating, he cursed him in drinking, He cursed him in coughing, in sneezing, in winking, He cursed him in sitting, in standing, in lying, He cursed him in walking, in riding, in flying, He cursed him in living, he cursed him in dying, Never was heard such a terrible curse ; But what gave rise, To no little surprise, Nobody seemed one penny the worse. The day was gone Th. The Monks and the F iizht cause on, rs they searched till dawn, When the Sacristan saw On crumpled claw, Come limping a poor little lame Jackdaw, As on Yesterday ; His feathers all seemed to be turned the wrong way. His pinions drooped, he could hardly stand, His head was as bald as the palm of your hand ; So wasted each limb That, heedless of grammar, they all cried, " that's him ;" Teat's the scamp that has done this scandalous thing, That's the thief that has got my Lord Cardinal's ring. The poor little Jackdaw, When the Monks he saw, Feebly gave vent to the Ghost of a caw, And turned his bald head as much as to say, Pray, be so good as to walk this s'ay. Slower and slower, He limp'd on before, Till they came to the back of the Belfry door, Where the first thing they saw, Mids't the sticks and the straw, Was the ring in the nest of that little Jackdaw, Then the great Lord Ca. dinal call'd for his Book, And off the terrible curse he took, mite expressioc And, being thus 7ved in lieu of confession, coupled with full restitution, The Jackdaw got plenary absolution, When those words were heard, That poor little Bird, Was so chang'd in a moment, was really absurd He grew sleek and fat, In addition to that, A fresh crop of feathers came thick as a mat, His tail waggled more Even than before, _ _ _ _ But no longer it wagg'd with an impudent air, No longer he perched on the Cardinal's, chair, He liopp'd now about With a gait most devout, At matins, at vespers, he never was out, And so far from any more pilfering deeds He always seemed telling the confessor's beads If any one lied, or if any one swore, Or slumbered in prayer-time and happened to snore, That good Jackdaw Would give a great caw, " don't do so any more," 1, as his manner they saw, That they never had known such a pious Jackdaw He long lived the pride Of that country side, And at last in the odour of sanctity died, When as words were too faint As m While z many remar His merits to paint, The conclave determined to make him a saint, And on newly-made Saints and Popes, as you know, It's the custom at Rome new names to bestow, canonized him by the name of JIM CRow.

American paper AFTER SHELLEY (From " Flowerc of Hemp, or the Newgate Garland,' Tait's Mag., April.) I met a cracksman coming down the Strand, Who said, " A huge cathedral, piled of stone, Stands in a churchyard, near St. Martin's-le-Grand, Where keeps St. Paul his sacerdotal throne. A street runs by it on the northward. There, For cab and 'bus, is writ No Thoroughfare' : The Mayor and Councilmen do so command. And in that street a shop, with many a box, Upon whose sign these fatal words I scanned— ` My name is Chubb, that makes the Patent Locks; Look on my works, ye burglars, and despair.' " Here made he a pause, like one who sees a blight Crush all his hopes, and sighed, with drooping air, " Our game is up, my covey ; blow me tight!" HAWKHURST GANG.-CHICHESTER (From the Sussex Express.) I • TEE SMUGGLER'S CAVE. — This neighbourhood, about a century ago, was much the resort of smugglers, but more es pecially of the celebrated Hawkhurst gang, which was broken up in 1749, by the execution of the following desperadoes : Benjamin Tapner of West Stoke, William Carter of Hants, Richard Mills of Trotton, Richard Mills the younger of Stedham, John Cobby of Sidlesham, John Hammond of Berated, and William Jackson, died two hours after the sen tence was announced. These with others were implicated in several murders, which they deemed it expedient to perpe trate for their protection in their outlawry, but the one for which they suffered was the murder of Chater, a shoemaker of Fordingbridge, and Galley an exciseman, who were seized upon by the smugglers on their way to Major Battine, at East Marden, for the purpose of giving information against Dimer, a smuggler, who, with others, had been engaged in breaking open the custom house at Poole. Chater was mur dered by being hung in a well at Lady Holt Park, and Galley died three days previously from wounds received from the smugglers. The whole of the prisoners were hanged at a spot about a mile from this city, and the body of Benjamin Tapner was hung in chains on Rook's hill. The bodies of Mills and Jackson were thrown into a hole near the place of execution, and near to it is erected a stone having the follow- ingipscription Near this place was buried the body of William Jackson, a proscribed smuggler, who, upon a special commission of oyer and terminer,'heid at Chichester,:on the 16th January, 1748-9, was, with William Carter, attainted for the murder of William Galley, a custom-house officer, and who likewise was, together with Benjamin Tapper, John Cobby, John Hammond, Richard Mills the elder, and Richard Mills the younger, his son (attainted for the murder of Daniel Chater) but dying a few hours after sentence of death was pro nounced upon him, he thereby escaped the punishment which the heinousness of his crimes deserved, and which was the next day most justly inflicted upon his accomp l ices. " " As a memorial to posterity, and a warning to his and sncceedin' ~enerations stone is erected, D. 1749." It is evident from the details given that the whole of the north western parts of Sussex and the eastern parts of Hants, were, a century ago, much frequented by smugglers. Here they had their rendezvous, and at different times in voids and various places—pits' and other secret recesses, tar depositing their contraband goods have since been discovered. A short time ago another of these places was brought to light on the Old Broyle Common, by some labourers, who while engaged in digging a gravel-pit, suddenly broke into a sub terraneous cavern. J n this place there appears to be a regu larly formed arch, branching out in several directions, but owing to its being tilled up with rubbish it is difficult to re cognise its form, but this will not be long a matter of con jecture, for work men ar e no w employed in clearing it out. In one direction a man on his hands and knees bas penetrated as far as one hundred yards underground, and in o ther parts g there is five f ee t standing room. From the remains of old fashioned wine ald Ge neva l bottles found therein, there can be no doubt of its having been used by smugglers as a place of rogrt and a depostory for thei r goods. zsPLOITS COMMODOnE Charles Nt of Stirling spier, K. N., of Merchistoun Hall, in the county The inhabitants of Falkirk have put in their claim to him as He married. Eliza, wid w of Lieutenant Edward Elers plirnent ever yet received by the wife of a naval officer, as, immediately after receiving the intelligence of the capture of Beyrout, Lord Minto, the first Lord of the Admiralty, posted down to her resident t Horndear her that as a testimony of their lordships' her husband's conduct they had appointed 1- son Captain pressic Le governme iude of his soverei The Cornmodore - enteredthe navy early in life; for, at the age of twenty-two we find him a captain in the Recruit on the West India station. 'From this period no account of his heroic services can be so interesting or so characteristic as that given by himself to the burgesses of Portsmouth, when he offered himself as a candidate at the election of 1833 : " In the course of my canvass (said the gallant officer), I have been asked who I am ? I'll tell you. I am Captain Charles Napier, who, twenty-five years ago, commanded the Recruit br;• Indies. and who had the honour of being twenty-four hours under the guns of three French line-of-battle ships flying from a British squadron, tht. nearest he exce tion of the Ha - wk brig, was from five to six miles astern the greatest part of the time. I kept flying double-shotted broadsides into them. One of these ships (the Hautpoult) only was captured by the Pompey and Castor. the other two escaped by superior sailing. Sir Alex. Cochrane, my commander-in-chief, pro- moted me on the spot into her. At the siege or mai - unique, the Xolus, Cleopatra, and Recruit were ordered to beat up, in the night between Pigeon Island and the main, and an,phorclose to Fort Edward; the enemy, fearing an attack, bfirnt their shipping. At daylight in the morning it appeared to me that Fort Edward was abandoned : this, however, was doubted. I offered to ascertain the fact, and with five men 1 landed in 1 - lopen day, scaled the walls, and planted the union jack on the ramparts. Fortunately I was undiscovered from Fort Bour bon, which stood about a hundred yards off, and commanded it. On this being reported to Sir Alexander Cochrane, a regiment was landed in the night. Fort Edward was taken possession of, and the mortars turned against the enemy. I am in possession of a letter from Sir A. Cochrane, saying that my conduct was the means of saving many lives, and shortening the siege of Martinique.' 1 had once the nri•for tune of receiving a precious licking from a French corvette : the first shot she fired broke my thigh, and a plumper carried away my mainmast. The enemy escaped, but the British flag was not tarnished. On my return to England, in com mand of the Jason, 1 was turned out of her by the Admiralty because I had no interest; but as I could not lead an idle life, I served a campaign with the army in Portugal as a volun. teer, when I was again wounded. At the battle of Busaco I had the honour of carrying off the field my gallant friend and relative, Colonel Napier, now near me, who was shot through the face. Busaco was not the only field where he shed his blood : at Corunna he was left for dead, but, thank God ! he escaped with six wounds. On my return to England. I was appointed to the Thames, in the Mediterranean ; and if I could bring the inhabitants of the Neapolitan coast into this room, they would tell you, that from Naples to the Faro Point there was not a spot where I did not leave my mark, and brought off with me upwards of a hundred sail of gun boats and merchant vessels. I had the honour of running the Thames and Furieuse into the small mole of Ponza, which was strongly defended ; and before they could recover from their surprise, I captured the island without the loss of a man. I was then removed to the Euryalus, and had the good fortune to fall in with two French frigates and a schooner. I chased them in the night close into Calvi, in the island of Corsiea, pass ing close under the stern of one, plumpering her as I passed ; and though we were going eight knots, I tried to run aboard of her consort, who was a little outside, standing athwart my hawse; the night was dark, the land close, and she suc ceeded in crossing me, but I drove her ashore on the rocks, where she was totally wrecked, and her consort was obliged to anchor close to her. The Euryalus wore round, and got off, almost bruising the shore as she passed. These ships were afterwards ascertained to be armee en flute, mounting 22 guns each, and the schooner 14. From the Mediterranean I was ordered to America; and if my gallant friend Sir James Gordon was here he would have told you how I did my duty on that long and arduo . us service up the Potomac ; he would have told you that in a tremendous squall the Euryalus lost her bowsprit and all her topmasts, and that in twelve hours she was again ready for work. We brought away a fleet from Alexandria, were attacked going down the river by batteries, built close to what was the residence of the Great Washington, and I was again wounded in that ac tion in the neck. We now come to the war of succession in Portugal, on the services of Napier as Admiral, in which our brief space will allow us to dwell but shortly. We therefore adopt a sum mary of them as furnished by our hero himself, in a letter addressed by him in his usual blunt style of truthful advice to the Emperor Don Pedro. " Your Majesty cannot be aware on what slender grounds I will tell your Majesty. The Chevalier Lima wrote to me to say that Oporto was reduced to the last ex - we began Itremity, and that he had received letters from Sartorius to say the fleet was determined to come to England. Not one shilling could be raised to pay them, or for anything else ; the cause was gone. He requested me to come to town. It was proposed that I should take three steamers and twelve hundred Poles that Mendizabal fancied he could procure at Rochfort, and proceed to the Guadiana, pass the river, and march upon Bega. To put this wild scheme into execution, three English houses offered to advance the money provided I would go. After some hesitation I acquiesced, provided the Marcia - is Palmella would go also. On his consenting, the £6,000 increased to upwards of £20,000, and five steam boats were fitted out. There was no great merit then in coming out ; the merit was offering to risk life and every thing in the cause of the person then in despair." On his arrival at Oporto, Napier was badly received by the Emperor, and expressed himself much hurt at the recep tion, and stated his opinion pretty bluntly to the Emperor on the state of affairs, and at last, after many intrigues and delays, and a threat to sail away to England with the troops he had on board, unless the full amount he required were sent, the admiral got his fleet off. " On the 20th," says our hero, " I wrote to the minister, and took leave by telegraph. On the night of the 23d, we rounded Cape St. Vincent, which was well lighted, by the friars in the convent, who have on certain nights a brilliant fire on the promontory." The galla . nt Comm()Clore then goes on to narrate the par ticulars of the successful descent made by his pal ty on the coast, and the capture of Beja, Tavira, Othao, and Faro, the capital of the Algarves. He then describes the capture of the Miguelite fleet as follows : _ " From Lagos, the City of Waterford steamer was de spatched to Oporto, and thence to England, with the news of our first success, and after organising the government and completing our supplies, on the evening of the 2d of July we sailed from Lagos, leaving the steamers to take in fuel and follow us along-shore to Lisbon. At this time we knew nothing certain of the movements of Don Miguel's squadron. A vessel from the Tagus had brought intelligence of their hav ing dropped down to Cascaes, and returned the following day ; but this must either have been fabricated by the master, or she had been sent to throw us off our guard. " At eight o'clock on the morning of the 3d of July, the officers of the watch reported two sail, then three, then four, and so on until they counted nine. I was surprised, and, as Sir Richard Strachan said, delighted; but the delight was accompanied with a disagreeable sort of feeling just resem. bling the sensation of your heart coming up into your mouth, requiring a tolerable gulp to keep it down. We were standing on the starboard tack under courses and top-gallant sails ; the enemy were on the larboard, broad on the lee-bow under their topsails : one alone, which we took for the fifty-gun ship, had her courses and top-gallant sails set, and sailed bad. The Villa Floe was immediately despatched to Logos for the steamers, and after nearing the enemy to three or four miles, we tacked. They were formed in two lines, having the Don John, bearing a Commodore's pennant, to wind ward, supported by the Rainha of the line, the Martin Freitas, and Princess Real. The three corvettes and two brigs formed the lee division opposite the open spaces, all well painted, sails well set, and lines compact. It was a majestic sight, and I turned the hands up to show the crews how well they looked, and to exhort them to pay attention to the manage ment of their guns as the surest means of success. I had never been in a general action, and although delighted at the prospect before me, I could not but feel appalled at their great superiority and the magnitude of the enterprise I was about to undertake. " Both squadrons stood in for the land, and I was apprehen sive they meant to prevent the junction of the steamers, who were in Logos Bay, and considerably to leeward. At two I tacked, and stood towards the enemy. This manoeuvre had the desired effect ; they tacked also, and left the Bay open. At five the Villa Flor and steamers joined, and we took our station about a mile and a half on their weather beam. The breeze was strong, and the sea too rough to attempt to board with success—the plan of attack I had decided upon. * During the night the hostile squadrons kept within musket shot—the Miguelite fleet in a compact line, my squadron in two, ready to take advantage of any favourable opportunity that should offer of bringing on a general action, or cutting off any of their ships that should drop astern during the 'night. At daylight one of the corvettes was about three miles in the rear of the fleet : we bore up in two divisions. She was under her topsails ; but whether from indolence, or trusting to her superiority of sailing, she did not increase sail tilt we were within musket-shot. The Don John then tacked, and there being no possibility of cutting her off with out risking a general action, we hauled off, neither ship firing. This brought us considerably to leeward. By noon we re gained our station on their weather-beam. Neither party shewed any disposition to engage. " There was a good deal of impatience manifested by the crews to come to blows, and they expressed' their concern that this might be delayed some time longer, or entirely given up. I instructed the different captains to insure them that the moment a favourable opportunity offered they should have their fighting propensities indulged to their fullest extent. " We kept our station close to the enemy during the after noon and following night, and towards morning there was every appearance of a calm, which eventually took place about nine o'clock. The steamers were now ordered to close, and to our astonishment and disappointment, the captains, engineers, and mews to a man, refused to take us in tow, with the exception of Captain Wilson of the William the Fourth, who with great difficulty persuaded his men to act. The Pembroke bad parted the night before under pretence of her engines being out of order. Officers and seamen came forward with all the money they possessed to bribe the cowards to act, which they refused to do unless two thousand pounds were laid down on the capstan-head for each engineer. This being impossible, they were dismissed the ship, with the hearty curses of officers and men. It had now been calm two hours : had the steam-boats taken the frigates in tow, we should have chosen our position, and in all probability have gained a bloodless victory ; or had the ships been fitted with paddles similar to those in the Galatea, the effect would have been the same. Never before did I see an occasion where they could have been so triumphantly applied. " Towards noon cat's paws here and there indicated an ap proaching breeze, and the swell had completely subsided ; the men went to dinner, and the captains came on board to receive their final instructions. The intentions of the commodore during the approae,hing contest are then detailed. He describes the enemy as "look ing well and firm," and their approach is portrayed in strik ing and graphic language. The enemy kept their line close, and the frigate having thrown out a signal, the commodore's answer was hardly at the mast head ere a broadside was opened. " Poor Rainha "adds the hero," I looked up, and expected to see every mast tottering ; but the cherub was sitting aloft, and notwithstanding the most tremendous fire I ever witnessed, which made the sea bubble like a boiling cauldron round her, the smoke clearing away, discovered to the astonished enemy the Rainha proudly floating on the waters of Nelson and St. Vincent, with her mast erect, her rigging and sails only shewing the fiery ordeal she had gone thruugh " The men were lying down at their quarters ; few were struck down on the main deck, but the three foremost guns on the quarter deck were nearly dismounted, and Lieuten ant Knivett, of the marines, received a mortal wound. At this time we had not fired a shot, and I ordered a few to be throvi,n on hoard, to check, as much as possible, their taking a deliberate aim. Onr example was followed by the Don Pedro, and we soon passed the frigate and Martin Freitas, the latter losing her foretopmast. At this time the sternmost line-of-battle ship luffed to —our helm was put up to avoid her broadside, and the Do❑ Pedro bore across her bows, to place us between the two line-of•battle ships. This was just what I desired, and as she had passed too far to leeward to recover a weather position, our helm was suddenly put down. The frigate flew to, grazing the' Rainha's stern with h er flying jib•boom ; the foremost guns were poured into to, artatvie.,4 L.; the 01=141 r4b roxF4 hi tep, and we ran ttei holm era very heavy nrul m.llll man The ships were lashea witn Luc matiti 'mem, 1111(1 laornmonare Wilkinson and .Captain Charles Napier, heading the board ers, passed from the bower•to her bulwark, driving the men across the forecastle along thc larboard " I had not intended to board, having ga n gwa sough to do to look after the squadron ; but the excitement was too great, and I found myself, without hardly knowing it, on the enemy's forecastle, supported by one or two officers. There I paused, till several men rushing on board, we rushed aft with a loud cheer, and either passed through or drove a party down upon the break of the quarter-deck. At this moment I received a severe blow from a crow-bar, the owner of which did not THE 141 ACE :011 0 1HI L MOLINE AND 'CASE The following s ble and judicious .emarks are copied from the New York Express: — Much has been said and - written on both sides of the water, in reference to these topics, and yet the public seem to have a most imperfect idea of the facts and principles on which they rest. It is apprehended that most of the diffi culty arises from a want of knowledge of the facts. The principles which must govern the settlement of the case are few, and well settled, and if the facts can be once ascertained the difficulty is easily disposed of. A recurrence to the particular transactions should be brought to the view of the public, and the questions placed in their true light. In the fall of 1837 an insurrection broke out in Upper Canada, which was put down by the people themselves, and the insurgents driven out of that country. They flocked to our shores, and by mixing with, and stat ing the hardships of their case and their sufferings, to our people, excited them to a disposition to aid in the still fur ther accomplishment of their designs to revolutionize that They had neither means nor numbers to enable countr obtpprit . irttelitgettrt.

Barradas, the captain of the ship, came across me, wounded in the face, and fighting like a tiger. He was a brave man. I saved bis life. The second captain came next, and made so good-natured a cut at me that I had not heart to hurt him. The commodore and captain Charles Napier fell severely wounded. I hailed Captain Goble to de sist, as we had carried the upper deck, and desired him to follow the Don John, who had made off; at the same mo ment a ball struck him, and he was no more. Lieutenant Edmunds and Woodbridge jumped down with a party on the main deck, which they carried, but both fell. In the hurry the ships separated, leaving me in the prize. In halt' an hour all sail was set, and we were fast approaching the Don John, when she luffed to and hauled her colours down. The Don Pedro was directed to secure her—and by ten the Martin Feritas was in my Assession. The Princess Royal corvette surrendered also. A little after I got alongside the Rainha, Captain Peak, in the Donna Maria, passed under the fifty gun frigate's stern, raked her, luffed to. and after firing a few ried her in gallant style " Thus finished the action of the sth of July 183 G, leaving in our possession two ships of the line, mounting eighty-six guns each, including four forty-eight pounders for throwing shells, oue frigate of fifty-two guns, a fifty-gun ship, and a corvette of eigteen guns : two corvettes and two brigs es caped ; the two former arrived safe in Li.,bon ; one brig joined the following day, and the other got to Madeira. The enemy were amply found in every species of warlike stores, and mounted stern-guns in addition to the full complement on their broadsides. _ _ " The loss of the squadron was about ninety killed and wounded. The enemy lost between two and three hundred." From this time Sir Charles remained quietly at his seat, Purbrook, or in the vicinity of Horndean, near Southampton, enjoying the retirement he had so nobly earned—living at once like a prince, an admiral, and an old English gentleman, and driving his four-in-hand with all the spirit, if not with the grace, of a Waterford. In his house and ball did the weary soldier and sailor find a friend and a welcome ; nor ever - departed the wayfarer from his door without a hearty meal or with an empty hand. _ _ _ _ _ In July 1837, dalitain Napier stood for the borough of Greenwich, with Mr. Barnard and Mr. Wolverley Attwood, M.P., the Chairman of the General Steam Navigation Com pany. From the first there never was any doubt as to the return of Mr. Barnard, and the contest, therefore, was in fact between the captain in the liberal interest and Mr. W Attwood, the conservative candidatg. On the third day's polling, Mr. Attwood had such a majority as induced Cap tain Napier to resign. In 1839 he was appointed to the Powerful, and in 1840 was promoted to the rank of commodore. The exploits of Napier in the East—the storming of Sidon, of Jaffa, of Tsoar, and of Caiffa, the taking of Tyre, thg bombardment of Acre—are events of too recent occurrence, and have appeared at length in our columns so lately. that we do not think it necessary to recapitulate them here. The commodore joined the squadron of Alexandria on the 21st of November, and was very warmly greeted ; and on the 25th of the same month he landed, and spent his time in walking through the town, and all the inhabitants, Turk, Arab, and Christian, manifested the most intense desire to see him. He took up his quarters at the British consulate, and in the course of the afternoon the principal consuls called on him. The town was in a perfect state of jubilee After this the commodore was elevated by her most gracious Majesty to the rank of Knight Commander of the Bath, and is now Sir Charles Napier. He took his departure from Alexandria in the Oriental, and first.set foot in England on Sunday last, when he met with the gratifying reception, of which we gave an account at length on Tuesday. From the provincial papers we perceive that similar honour await him in various parts of the country. CORSICAN ASSIZES TRIAL. OF A BROTHER FOR THE MURDER OF HIS SIS- LOVER Jean Baptiste Agostini was tried, on the 26th March, on the charge of having waylaid and treacherously murdered Ange Marie Cesarini, who entertained a criminal intimacy with his sister Catharine, who had been compelled to marry a 'man of the name of Poggi, but who finding little chance of happiness with his wife, separated from her and enlisted in the French service. Catharine returned home and soon felt an inclination for Cesarini, who loved her tenderly, and who saw her daily, in consequence of his intimacy with the Agos tini family. Cesarini had thus every facility to abuse the trust reposed in him ; he hesitated long between desire and fear, for Jean Baptiste was his friend, and he was aware of the infamy and danger attending such an abuse of friendship and hospitality. Passion, however, obtained the mastery, and Cesarini became Catharine's lover. This criminal inter course soon became public. When Jean Baptiste Agostini heardof his sisters situation, his fury knew no bounds, and it appears that be threatened to kill both Cesarini and his sister. Cesarini consequently endeavoured to shelter himself from the vengeance of the Agostini family, while Catharine shut herself up in her room, thereby avoiding the fury of her brother, and bewailing her fault, .the shame she had drawn on her family, and perhaps the loss of her lover. The Ce sarini family, informed of the hostile and threatening dispo sition of Jean Baptiste, became a prey to the greatest unea siness ; Cesarini himself acted with the greatest caution, and never lft home but in the day, and then never alone. In the meantime, he made advances towards a reconciliation with his enemy, offering all the reparation he had any right so expect. He engaged to receive Catharine, to treat her as his wife, to bring up her child as his own, to which she was soon to give birth, until he could by marriage legitimise this fruit of their attachment. He even wrote him several let ters, and at length, as if tired of the subject, said, " if you thirst for my blood, take your weapons, and meet me under the large oak tree at sunrise to-morrow morning, and fate shall decide which of us is to perish Jean Baptiste Agostini was deaf to all these propositions, which proved that if Cesarini was guilty, he was not unwor thy of pity. It was equally in vain that Catharine solicited her brother and her family to pardon her and her lover. An arrangement was, however, at length come to, but with con siderable difficulty, and Jean Baptiste Agostini took a solemn oath in the presence of the assembled family that he would make no attempt against the life of Cesarini. By the terms of the arrangement Catharine was to quit for ever the house of Agostini, and reside with Cesarini in another village. These conditions were accepted, and the two lovers took up their residence at the village of Pentag lione. Cesarini, full of confidence in the promise given and the good faith of his enemy, began to relax in those mea sures of precaution which he had hitherto adopted. Things went on in this manner until'the 31st of March. On that day Cesarini was busily at work on his grounds. In a vine yard near him a man, named Phillippe Jean Nicolai, residing in the hamlet of Casalta, was at work. This man told Cesa rini that two brothers, named Poli, residing at Casalta, wished to speak to him the next day. The next day, the Ist of April, Nicolai told him that the message he had given him was only a joke. Cesarini, however, determined on going to see the brothers the next evening. In vain did Marie Catherine implore him on her knees not to leave her. A cruel presentiment filled the mind of this poor woman, thus abandoned and despised by her family. She was well acquainted with the violent character of her brother. She knew that a Corsican never pardoned an act of dishonour; and for this reason she feared that Cesarini would one day fall a victim to his blind confidence. Cesarini was now her only hope, for she could never hope for pardon from her family. She, therefore, spared no persuasion that she could think of to prevent his making his proposed visit, but Cesa rini only laughed at her fears, which he designated as childish, and would not, therefore, yield to her wishes. Notwithstanding this obstinacy on his part, he was not himself without some little apprehension of danger, and in vited a Corsican voltigeur, named Charles Dominique Lu porsi to accompany him. They agreed to meet at a certain place; Luporsi, however, called in his way at the residence of Agostini, and stopped there so long chatting, that when he reached the place of rendezvous Cesarini had left. Sus picion, from this circumstance, fell on this Luporsi and Nicolai as accomplices in the murder, but they were dis charged from want of evidence to implicate them. When Luporsi reached the appointed place of meeting, not finding Cesarini, he naturally imagined that, tired of waiting, he had proceeded onwards. This. however, was not the case; Cesarini was behind him. His heart was oppressed with a feeling of dread of some impending danger, and thougdt of the unavailing request of Catherine that he would not leave home. He, however, soon overtook Luporsi, and they proceeded together, and reached in safety the house of the brothers Poli. Cesarini then found that the message delivered to him by Nicolai was but a joke, or rather a trick to draw him into a snare. They however proceeded together towards his house, having promised Catherine that he would not stop the night at'Casalta, but return as soon as possible. They went on ; Cesarini was somewhat in advance, walking at a very rapid pace. On reaching a rising ground, which commanded the road a great distance on all sides, he heard the report of a gun near him, but fortunately the ball missed him. He turned round and ran towards Luporsi, who had fired off his rifle in the direction from which the first shot was fired. Cesarini had only advanced a few yards towards his companion, when a second shot was fired, and Cesarini staggered towards him and fell dead at his feet, pierced by two balls. The report of the guns was heard at Pentaglione, the residence of Cesarini, by Marie Catherine, who in the agony of despair, exclaimed " Cesarini is killed !" The inhabitants of Pentaglione being informed of the mur der by Luporsi, who ran there and raised an alarm, soon reached the spot, and carried the body of the unfortunate Cesarini to his home. _ Suspicion immediately fell on Agostini, and he was taken up and committed for trial. When on the prisoner's bench in the court, Agostini maintained the most perfect calmness, betraying no more emotion than any of the bystanders around him. He replied without hesitation to the questions of the President, and with a gentleness of voice which stood in strong contrast with the gravity of the charge against him. M.'Dillman t in a brilliant speech, pointed - outthe culpa bility of the prisoner, and the evidence which was conclusive against him. _ M. Caraffa advocated the cause of the prisoner with great eloquence, combating all the arguments of the counso for the prosecution With great ability. He brought forward in his favour the excellent character for mildness which the prisoner had always enjoyed amongst all his neighbours, and brought forward a long list of witnesses in support of what he stated. . The President summed up the case of the jury with great clearness and impartiality , pointin g o u t th e wea k parts o f t h e evidence against the p9soner, as well as those points which bore more strongly against him. The jury retired for a short time, a n d re t urne d i n t o cour t with a verdict of acquittal. About a month ago, during a sermon of the Abbe de Ra vignan, at the Church of St. Louis, a lady was robbed of her watch, and although the person near her, and who had been very profuse in his and indig na ti on , and attentions, was dressed in s o f as hi ona bl e a manner as almost to place him above su s pi c i on , s h e imme diately grasped his arm, and accused him of the ro bb e ry. The dandy affected great astonishment another elegantly-dressed man came up and assured her that she must be mistaken, as the person who m s h e accuse d was known to him, and was in the church with a we ddi ng party t order that a search thief, invited his friend e of the highest respectability. The lady, how ever , was no t t o be i ecajoled, accompanyan d , keeping m leer ther lio.lvde4 might be made. To this the friend consented, but before they had got many yards, he disappeared suddenly in the crowd. The lady then called to her aid a gentleman who was standing near them, and still grasping the arm of the dandy, she brought him to the vestry-room, where he was searched. The watch was not found, for, without doubt, it had been passed to the friend who . had made hi s disappear ance; but as the lady declared positively that no oth er person than the accused could have stolen it. he was handed over to the commissary of police, and committed to prison for trial. This trial took place two days ago, when it appeared in evi dence that he was a notorious thief, who had been more than once in the hands of justice.• He was sentenced on this oc casion to two years' imprisonment:— Galtgnani. them again to get a foothold on the Canada shore. An expedition was fitted out on our side, which took pos session of Navy Island, an unsettled place within the British dominions, about half a mile from the Canada shore, situated in Niagara river, (all of which went from the State of New York, and a part of them from the State Arsenal at Batavia, without the consent of our authorities) were planted on this island, so as to annoy the inhabitants from the other side, particularly the village of Chippewa, and which commanded the channel on the other side. Remonstrances were made to our government, and, proclamations were issued by the governor of New York, and by the President, enjoining our citizens to cease all interference. Indeed the public officers were instructed to prosecute all persons engaged in it from our territory, and a military force was at last sent to enforce obedience to the laws, and to pre vent all interference. _ . . In the meantime a brisk and constant communication was kept up from our side with Navy Island, and citizens were constantly passing to and from in steamboats and skiffs. The Caroline was a steamer, owned in Buffalo, and, at a short period before her destruction, went down the river, and passed several times from our dock at Schlosser to Navy Island and back. On the evening of her destruction she lay at this dock, apparently and evidently unsuspicious of harm, when a force was sent over from Canada shore in boats, which destroyed her, and one man was killed in the affray. Now the reader must see that this statement covers many minor facts in reference to the affair, not so easy to ascer tain without a special examination. Nobody doubts that every interference on the part of our citizens in the Canada difficulties was not only a violation of our neutrality, but a violation of our own laws. If our go vernment had not done all in its power to restrain these ag gressions, it would have been a just cause of war. But they did put forth their power, and, although not able to check it on the moment, finally succeeded ; but in the meantime the mischief was done. It is alleged by the Canada authorities that the Caroline was chartered by the Patriots to carry arms and munitions of war, and that the government had not then the means and ability to restrain her, and as we could not then enforce our own laws and restrain our own people from these aggres sions, they had a right in self-defence to come to our shores and destroy what they considered a piratical vessel, used in carrying destruction to their shores. And they cite General Jackson's descent into the Spanish territory, and the capture of a Spanish fort, because it harboured marauding Indians who had committed depredations in Georgia, and fled thither for refuge. On the other hand, it is alleged that the Caroline was an American vessel, under American license, and was not en gaged, in any manner, in carrying the means of annoyance to Navy Island, but had merely passed over to carry visitors who had a right to go to that island, and whose purposes were not unlawful. They, therefore; allege that the burning of the Caroline was a violation of our neutral rights, and in vasion of our territory. _ _ After all, the case depends entirely on the facts. If the allegations of the Canada authorities are correccand true, it would seem that we have little to complain of. On the other hand, if our version of the facts be correct, and according to the truth of the case, Great Britain never can nor never will set up a justification. It would seem, therefore, that the true course for both governments is to set themselves at work in some way to ascertain the true state of the facts. The principles which apply are very well settled. In reference to M`Leod; it is said he was not engaged in the affair of the Caroline; if so, there is no question on the subject, and it is a matter of deep regret that he should have been harassed with prosecutions. . If, however, he was one of the party, the affair is now avowed by that goverment. It is with them, arid not M'Leod, we have to deal, to them we should direct our at tention. Our government should take measures to liberate him at once, or at least to insure his safety. In the mean time an umpirage should be established to ascertain the facts. Suppose we put the case of M'Leod in the worst point of view, and say that the attack was a wanton outrage and with out a shadow of justification on the part of the invaders ; still M'Leod was a soldier, bound to obey the orders of his superiors in all lawful commands. Would any American feel willing, under such circumstances, to see him expiate upon the gallows an offence in which he was only an instrument, bound by the paramount commands of his superiors? Surely not. Before you could convict him under such circum stances, you would require a " Jeffries for a judge, and twelve butchers for a jury." But we content ourselves just now with calling the atten tion of our readers to the facts in the case. The case has become an important one, and it is necessary, calmly and dispassionately, to go back to the beginning, and to hear the complaints, before rendering judgment or acquittal. CHURCH EXTENSION (From the Standard ) There is a notion pretty generally entertained by poli ticians, which may be well founded in many cases, but which is wholly inaccurate in others. The notion to which we refer is this :—" That the more the State does fur the promotion of any object, the less will be done by voluntary exertions." To this proposition the extension of religious instruction by State exertion presents a striking exception. Twenty-one or twenty-two years ago, the legislature, having awakened from its long lethargy, as regarded the interests of religion, aroused no doubt by the progress of infidelity, and its inseparable companion, political disorder, in the manufac turing districts and large towns, some new churches were built and endowed, and more would have been provided, but for the perversements of some whig servants of Satan, who it must be remembered, divided the House of Commons nine times in one night in resistance to the necessary grant. Something was, however, done by the State for the cause of religion, and with this effect, that instead of diminishing voluntary exertion, in twenty years the little which the public has contributed in its political character has been attended by a three or four fold increase of voluntary contributions from the same pcblie in that period. Let it not be said that churchmen, in calling for the aid of the legislature, are desirous of sparing their own pockets. No, they give proof, that whatever the legislature may give, they themselves will contribute more. It becomes, then, a serious question to every man who has any real religious impressions, whether he can innocently abstain from pressing the demand for new churches upon Parliament. The demand is not for an object bounded by its immediate purpose, but for the development, through practical means, of a principle of boundless operation. You build one Church ; you do well in providing the means of worship for as many as its walls contain. But is this all ? Oh, no ' • in building one church you sow the seed of hun dreds of other churches, and of religious and benevolent in stitutions. In a word, you open the oracles of the Almighty, and the teaching of his word in that place ; and all whose hearts are touched by those oracles are not only made wise to their own salvation, but engaged in the active service of the all-good Creator—all earnestly engaged to do for others what you have done for them. There is something so awfully magnificent in this rate of progress of religious truth from so slight an impulse, that if strict arirhmetical reasoning, founded upon facts, did not lead to the conclusion, one would not know how to believe in the possibility of such mighty effects from such a cause. We have so far spoken of the blessed results of the multi plication of churches among churchmen only ; but we are sure that we should wrong our dissenting brethren were we to doubt that their pious emulation has kept pace in the ad vancement of the means of religion with the exertions of the church. It is by such pious emulation, and not by spiteful opposition, that they can prove themselves Christian dis se.tters. And now let us turn to another view of the effect of an increase of churches—the increase of the clergy. It has been demonstrated by the Rev. Sydney Smith—a good whig au thority—that the clergy, as a body, bring more money into the Church that they receive from it; that is to say, that between the cost of education and the private fortunes of the clergy, a great deal more is made available for the religious instruction of the people than the State has left of its property to the Church unplundered ; but this excess of advantage to the community would be much increased by a large addition to the present number of churches, for the clergy of the new churches are generally contented with a stipend less than the annuity which the cost to their education would purchase ; thus giving to the public not only the money, but their own labour—for nothing. We trust that the present opportunity will not be lost, and that the table of the House of Commons will be covered with petitions for new churches, previously to Sir Robert Harry Inglis's motion. STATE OF TRADE M ANCfIESTER, April 21st.—The market, yesterday, was, if possible, worse than those of the three preceding Tuesdays •, the demand which existed last week for 40-inch shirtings had subsided ; and goods and yarns of all descriptions were ex ceedingly difficult to sell, even at declining prices. In con sequence of this very discouraging state of the market, many of the spinners and manufacturers are talking of short time, and several isolated firms, in different parts of the country, have already adopted it. Hitherto, however, no general agreement tor that purpose has been made, except at Stock port. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, Monday, April 19. — There has been a good attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and somewhat more business do.ie than on the pre ceding Monday, at somewhat lower prices. The wool market has been heavy and prices rather giving way, which has had its influence on the piece market. HUDDERSEIELD MARKET, April 20.—Last week we re• ported a dull market, but this was more unfavourable, there being few important sales effected in any description of goods. Probably this arises from its being too late freely to purchase light goods, and too early to buy for the fall and winter trade. However, prices are firm in suitable fabrics ; and business in the warehouses, if not brisk, is not discomuost raging. the Nor mills is there any great scarcity of employment , of working full time. Our reader must have seen, for some days past, in the newspapers, and plentifully posted on the walls of the city, an advertisement announcing a reward of £5O for the reco very of £l.OOO in bank notes " lost in Miller -street." When this announcement came before the public, it was well known to many that the £lOOO in bank notes was lost by a person in one of the banks, who bad given away this large sum by mistake, in the course of bank business ; and it is now con fidently rumoured that the money has been recovered in a very singular manner. After the appearance of the adver tisement, it is said that an anonymous letter had been re ceived, inquiring if the reward would be increased, on the delivery of the money ' • and to this an ans wer, couched in the negative, was given through one of the newspapers. The handwriting of this epistle is, however, alleged to have ex cited, or rather to have strengthened, suspicion against a young man employed by a respectable firm in town, and ac cordingly measures were instantly taken to get at the truth. These, rumour says, have been so successful, that the whole of the money has been recovered by the bank, much to the relief of the individual by whom the mistake was committed, and to whom the circumstance has, no doubt, caused much disquietude. There are various conflicting versions of this story in circulation : but the sbove, we believe, contai ns the main facts of the case.—Scottish Guardian. TROUT FISHING.—In a few hours' fishing during two days of last week, Mr. William Flinn, of this city, and a gentleman from Birmingham, killed 451bs. weight of capital trout in the Lug, in Lord Bateman's water, in the neigh bourhood of Mortimer's Cross. The sportsmen used the fly only, and such success so early in the spring bodes well for this contemplative pastime in the coming season.— Worcester Journal.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, PRIL 20 We have scarcely had sufficient demand today to tote a market, and we may safely estimate the sales a less than 1,000 bales, principally in American descriptions, ft om 6d. to 7d. The market is considered firm, and prices study. COTTON MARKET. APRI Our Cotton market is as dull. tame, and inanimate as it can pos sibly be, yet prices are fully maintained for all descriptions ol American above middling fair, whilst in the lower qualities we con. sider it an id per lb. below the quotations of Friday last, yet even this concession is by no means general. The sales yesterday were about 2000 bales, and not exceeding 2500 to-day ; the trade are the only purchasers, and they of necessity only operate to keep their machinery going. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 21 The show of Beasts to-day was very moderate, but of Sheep good. Prime Beef in good demand, and brought fully as much money as on this day week ; but the best Mutton was easier to buy. All the Cattle sold up, but a moderate number of Sheep unsold. Best Beef, 7d to 7-id per lb. Prime Mutton, 8d; inferior, ;id ; clipped Sheep, 6irl to 7d. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, APR I L 20 The supply of Wheat was small, and prices remain unaltered ; there are a few arrivals of Foreign to the market, which are offer ing at 39s to 41s per barrel free, and 44s to 48s per quarter in bond. Oats sold briskly at our quotations. Bere and Barley without alteration in value. The transactions in Oatmeal are very limited, being confined to those who are in immediate want. Bakers' Flour, moves off very slowly at last day's rates, and inferiors and thirds are extremely dull of sale. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott .5 , ,50n During the past week there has been a considerable import of Wheat Coastwise, chiefly Foreign from London, but from Ireland the arrivals have been very moderate ; the demand has continued languid, and last quoted prices have been barely supported, par ticularly for Oats, and for inferior qualities of Wheat. There was no alteration, in the duties on Foreign Grain on Fri day last ; some few sales have been made of the recent arrivals of Wheat from Wolgast, duty paid, at about les per 70 lb, and some parcels of American Flour, in bond. have changed hands at 23s to 24s per brl. and :, small quantity of fine heavy dutch Oats, in bond, has been taken for export at 3s 4d to as 6d per 45 lb. but the de. mand has been very limited. Chiefly owing to the decline of 2s per qr. on Wheat in the Lon market yesterday, we experienced very dull sales at this day's market here, though Wheat was offered 3d to 4d per 7o lb, Oats Id to lid per 451 b, Flour Is per sack and per barrel, Oatmeal Is per 244 lb lower than on this day week, and every article in the trade participated fully in this depression.

Rapeseed dull, but holders are not pressing on the market, and present arrivals are mostly going to granary. The export demand for linseed has, for the present, ceased; and crushers merely supply their immediate wants, at late prices. Rape cake rather lower. English linseed cake, both for present and forward delivery, sell at my quotations. Foreign very dull, and bad to quit, especially the secondary qualities. Beans continue to meet buyers at my quo tations. For this day's market there is a better supply of Wheat from the farmer—and from the fine weather we are experiencing, the general condition of the samples offering are much improved —last week's prices are generally asked, but buyers supply their wants at a decline of from Is to 2s per qr, and even at this decline only a small business transacting. Some of the recently ant, ed foreign, the quality of which is fine, offering 63s to 64s per qr., duty paid ; but very few buyers—this latter circumstance has an additional depressing effect on the trade. Very little business passing in spring corn, and prices of Oats, beans, and barley, without alteration from last week.
