CASE or SEDrCTION.-At the January term of the
Court of Common Pleas, held at Genesee, in Livingston
County, the cause of " Hopestill Bebee r. John H. Rice,"
for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, came on for
trial. After a patienfinvestigstion of the testimony pro-
duced, the cause was ably summed up by the Counsel for
the plaintiff; when the Jury retired, and returned with a
verdict of 600 dollars damages for the plaintiff—being all
the defendant was proved to be worth.—American Paper.
At Ennis Assizes there are 108 persons for trial, of whom
WI are for murder.

We regret to state, that on Tuesday morning last, an
extensive calico manufacturer at Burley, in a sudden tit of
passion, occasioned by some angry words- with his wife,
struck ber a violent blow on the head, in consequence of
which she died in a few hours afterwards. The verdict of
the Coroner's Jury we bare not yet heard.
SINGULAk JUDOMENT.-Our readers may recollect that
a young man of the name of Hickey lately killed his father
by striking him with a bcd-post, in the town of Kilrush :
as connected with that circumstance the following incident
is awfully curious. It seems the unfortunate young man
was the fruit of an illicit acquaintance between his ill-
()mewed father and a young woman, both then residing in
the town of Ennis, but before her confinement he removed
to Kilrush, where she followed him with her infant child.
Here what was her reception—she was spurned and repelled
by Kr undoer, and the halpless but then innocent pledge
of broken faith was seized upon by its infuriated father,
and flung into the river, where it would have consequently
perished, were not the hand of humanity stretched by a
passing stranger to rescue the infant from its intended fate.
Its unnatural parent, however, was afterwards prevailed
upon to atone for the deed, and the infant, alas! lived to
take away that life that intended to shorten his.—Limerick
Evesting Post.
On Tuesday week. a woman, with a halter round her
neck, was publitly offered for sale in Sheffic:d market; the bidders
were very few,-and stie• was finally kno:ked down at tighten
pence l—Leeds Intstlirencti.

A fire broke out on Saturday morning, between four and
five o'clock, in the lower part of a house of a certain description,
No. 1, Union.street, Whitechapel, which consumed the whole of
the interior and furniture before it was extinguished. On the first
alarm, the inmates were thrown into the greatest consternation.,
flying in all directions in almost a stare ot nudity. A seafaring
man made his escape by lowering himself out of a one-pair ot
stairs window, followed by his cAere jade, nothing daunted ; Jock
received tier on her alighting, and bars hie eff in triumph.
