GALWAY ASSIZES.

The assizes for the Connaught circuit' ended here,
and you may judge of the state of this part of the
country from the circumstances of only one capital
conviction taking place upon the whole rout—this
was. the case of a fellow who had conceived some
jealousy against his wife, to whom he had been
about Three weeks married; he had decoyed her
into a field, where he strangled her, and then hid
her in a ditch : the murder was some time undis-
covered, but suspicions having arisen, and the body
being found, some strong circumstances arose, upon
which the prisoner was found guilty, and ordered
to be hanged.
A few nights ago, in Galway, a man, named
larnes Molloy, said to have been an old sailor, but
~Ity trade a hatter, had some words with his wife,
and being heard giving her a very severe beating
at the time, it soldier and a woman pang by, en-
tered the house, to make enquiry of the cause, and,
if possible, prevent farther mischief; the villain took
r,np a gun, which be had in the room, {which was a
lizreet parlour), it was loaded with slugs:, and he dis-
charged it against the persons who had thus at-
tempted to interfere, whereby the soldier and woman
.were both instantly killed, and a gentleman passing
.137, was severely wounded, two of the slugs having
lodged in his arm : the offender attempted to con-
ceal himself' by hiding under a bed, but he was
immediately taken; and committed to gaol, ;o
abide his trial: • •

COIN EXCHANGE, Aram 20.

Halting but little fresh Grain to-4y, with
few buyers, Wheat has no variation ; inferior
quality sells very heavy : from the appearance
of Public Affairs we hope some alteration. Bar-
ley has a dull sale, also mat. Peas in plenty,
and prices getting down; Beans incline so. Our
imports of Oats, ti ot.gla riot 10:rge, they rather give
• way in prize. The last tertns of Flour continue,
and our currency as tinder
