SUNDERLAND SEAMEN.

The Durham Chronicle, published on Saturday, says—
" Sunderland has new assumed its usual quiet--the ships going
and coming without any interruption from the seamen, they having
now fully seen into the folly of their late proceedings, and the more
so, as many of their families are reduced to a state of the greatest
distress, and nearly the whole of their furniture, in some MCI,
having been sold to procure support. Two men have been sworn
to as the persons wt• ^ first boarded the ship Busy on the fatal 3d of
August, the day of the riot. Within the last few days the town
has been thrown into agitation by the failure of an extensive iron
concern, to the amount of upwards of thirty-five thousand pounds,
which has caused some hundreds of men to be thrown out of em-
ployment, independent of the fears such events ever bring with
them of others who may have been connected with the parties in
trade not being able to sustain the shock."

The Durham Aducrtiser, however, published on Fri-
day, rays—
" We lament to learn from the following letter, which we have
received from a valued corrtspondent, that some of the Sunderland
sailors are still pursuing their illegal courses. We hoped that they
had seen into the folly of their conduct :
" ' Sunderland, AUCUIV 25.
" lam sorry to inform you, that the Union seamen here last
night again took the men out of a vessel, and would not allow her
to go to sea (the ship's name the Harmony, Messrs. Hubbard and
Harrison, owners), and they beat the mate very severely, and also
most of the crew. In consequence of this outrage the police and
special constables were called on to muster at the Exchange at tide-
time this morning, when a party of the fMth infantry were also
under alms, as well as a detachment of the 3d dragoon guards ready
to mount. The men who had been ill-treated were then escorted
by the police, on board the Harmony, and the vessel pro-
ceeded to sea without opposition, although a number of sailors had
asaesabled on the gnays. The men who were beat declare that they
do not know the men who boarded them, but this is believed to be
all humbug; it is thought they know them well enough, but that
they dare not give information. The plea set up by the Union
seamen is. that a part of the crew were strangers, but this, I
understand, was not the cue ; at all events, the men who were
taken out had been for some time in the same ship.'
" A detachment of the 60Jth regiment has arrived at Sunderisitd
barracks."

C/RAII'D SHOOTING-7tf ATCII.—The last and perhaps the most
skilful shooting-match of the season took place on Friday and Sa-
turday, between the two crack clubs (Midgham and Ashton) cnd
the like number (seven) of all England, for a stake of LOCO sove-
reigns at least. In all England our correspondent observes, that
the crack shots of the Battersea clubs, Messrs. Osbaldesion. Cap-
tain Ross, Lord Kennedy, and others were not enlisted, but those
gentlemen are upon their estates, waiting fat the lit of September.
England won by one bird in the two days shooting at 90 birds each,
by bagging 27. Midgham and Ashton killed 26 each, but the
latter lost most birds out of bounds. Mr. Oee, of England, killed
all his birds.

SCOTCH M•RRIAOI.--Latt week a marriage was cele-
brated in the shop of Messrs. Griffin and Co., Wilson-
street, Glasgow, under circumstances which appeared not a
little extraordinary to Mr. Griffin, as an Englishman. The
anxious couple, with two witnesses, came into the shop,
on perceiving one of his Majesty's Justicea of the Peace
standing at the counter, and without preface or apology of
any sort, requested to he married. The Justice went
through the form in a few seconds. Ile inquired if they
consented to be man and wife, and on receiving an
answer in the affirmative, declared them accordingly to be
married persons. The female was a very genteel and in-
teresting looking young woman, and her lover appeared also
to be above the ordinary rank of clandestine marriage
folks. There were other two gentlemen standing by, who
were not aware that so important an affair had been going
on, until the company had left the premises.—.Wcoleh

CONFERSION AND EXECUTION OF JOHN Evaxs.--On
Wednesday lest, this wretched man suffered the awful sen-
tence of the law, precisely at one o'clock, in the presence
of an immense concourse of spectators. He died without a
struggle, and apparently quite penitent. From the time'
sentence was passed until the day of his execution the pri-
soner continually declared that Daniel Rowlands was con-
cerned with him in the murder, which he at the same time
said was effected by means of poison ; but, previous to the
administration of the Holy Sacrament to him in the morn-
ing, he fully confessed the falsity of such statement, and
that he alone was the sole perpetrator of the crime ; in con-
sequence of which the following memorandum was made
by the Rev. Mr. Jones, the Chaplain, in the presence of
the tinder Sheriff:—

" Brecon County Prison, Monday, Aug. 22. 1825.
" I, the undersigned, consider it to be due to the characur of
Daniel Rowlands to state, that the wretched criminal, John
Evans, who this day suffered for the murder of Margaret Wil-
liams, previous to his death, acknowledged the justice of his sen-
tence, and that he alone perpetrated thin horrid murder. He fur-
ther
stated that Daniel Rowlands was not implicated in the dread-
ful
crime, and that the evidence given by the said Daniel Row-
14luis
was
perfectly

state that he is one of the Governors of Queen Charlotte's Lying-in
Hospital, and that he considered it his duty to attend the toqueit
for the purpose of declaring the complete reliance the Governo-t
have on the abilities of all the °freers of the institution, aed theft
approval of their conduct individually. The slightest inattention
to duty would, in any instance, be taken strict cognizance of, and
he felt assured that the report of the case to the Board Would be
received with approbation.
After this evidence the Jury proceeded ro view the body. a:* d on
their return to the inquest room expressed themselves satisfied uitn
the evidence; and the Coroner was about to make his comments on
the s.ame, when it was signified to him that the husband of Me de..
ceased wished to be heard, as also did several of his neighbours.
Mrs. Bridget Smith and Mrs. Ann Butler were called in, but
their evidence did not apply to the Case ; it amounted only to theft
supposition that the midwife had stated that Dr. Blagden sborld
have delivered the deceased three hours before. . . .

Dixon was again called in, and explained that her retrark

Peter Lawless, the husband of deceased, was sworn and examined,
and it appeared that he was the messenger on every occasion. 114

house for him, but he was out. A lady then gave htnra not* to

expressed how inconvenient it would be for him to' attend. but he
did so. Witness told him it would be a cheeky. Witness
went a second time for Dr. Blagden, and he came to. vase&
Witness doei not know why Dr. Blagden did not tighter hit wire
when he first came.

The Jury several times asked this witness whether he._had myt
charge of negligence or inattention to allege against anylersoli
that attended his wife, to which he made no reply.
It appeared that the witness had shown extreme impatience
during his wife's labour; and Dr. Blagden further explained that
he entered his carriage, and went without delay. On being first
called he certainly mated that it was very incnnieetiout fur. him t 4
