CITY COURT, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11.
The moat inprottmit tend today was the follow-

and, if we may judge from the crowded state of the
court.house, attracted much of the public *Motion,
Patrick Fitzgerald, Patrick Negev, Mich

abduction, and with assisting Fitzgerald in forcibly
carrying off Mary Crowley, for the purposee of triad
lating her mason ; and Fitzgerald was sepeirotely
charged thr violating the person of. and suribtillg
another person to violate Mary Crowley.
The prosecution was caroled on on the part of the
Crown by Mr. BARRINGTON. Crown Solicitor.
Counsellor S. Towtssest to stated the cadre in a few
words, by explaining the stature of the indiction'',
which he was instructed to say would be rupported
by the testimosey of the unfortunate victim herself,
as far as her det;ditated state front the 'it...juries she
suflioett would permit.
After some delay the unfortunate creature was
brought into Court is an armed' chair, assisted by
another female, who supported her back during
her examination. She was an object of eatraina

Court. She gave her answers to the questions put
to her faintly, but collected and distinct, curd Mr.
BLISTERD repented them to the. Jury.
FlOril her testimony, and that of the other wit.
orgies called to corroborate it, the following parti-
culars of this barbarous outrage were 'disclosed :
The Prosecutrix, and another girl of the name of
Mary Co 11, who lodged in the same house with
her in Bleckmoor-lane. went to Evergreen on
the evening of Sunday, July 30, +shout six or se-
ven o'clock; they remained there till about c'evert
o'clock at a public-house, and were employed
in dancing with other young men and women ;
they took a small quantity of porter, not more
than two quarts between three of them. About
eleven o'clock. when they proposed to go home,
a young man of the name of Dour' promised
to see them safe home, and they had proceeded ow
their way only as far as the new road that leads
down to the Quaker's burying-ground, when they
were accosted by Fitzgerald and tire oilier Prisoners;
but Mary Connell warned him to let them pass.
anti to have nothing to do with them, or he would
suffer fur it. They then proceeded, the two
oilmen and Dour', along Maypole-road, awl down
Traver.-street to Cove-lane. Dozed parted them in
Maypole-road. In Cove-lane Fitzgerald seized
the Prosecutrix by the arm, and 'mother fellow.
of the name of M'Carthy, who hss since absconded;
they dragged her to Sullivan's quay, notwithstand-
ing she screeched and made all the resistance in her
power. Mary Connell ran off to save herself.--
Fitzgerald then dragged her up Blackmoor-lane,
Step-lane, where he knocked her clown, and put
his knee upon her chest, and into Maypole-
road, she at the same time calling for assist-
ance, and shrieking out. l-ie then carried her
into a room in his own house, and bolted the door,
where he accomplished his purpose. Iler feetallif
brought down his mother, who remonstrated with
him on his conduct. The prosecutrix inked her
for God's sake to rase her, and his lowlier shrieked
out to hint for God's sake not to murder her, but
he struck his mother in the head, and knocked her
down. lie brought her out of the house down
Step-lane. again into Blacknooor-lane, cud there
tied her hands with his cravat ; he here knocked
her down again, and her head came leraitist the
wall ; gave her a kick in the side for re,i,Aing and
shrieking, and after untying her hands, gave her up
to M'Corthy, who also violated her person ! ! They
then brought her out upon Sullivater-quay, and
threatened to drown her if she would not stop tiltr;ek-
ing. Mary Connell, who heard her screams from her
lodgings, then came up, and only fur her, the
Prusecuirix believed they would have attempted
to drown her. She, the Prooecutrix. called on the
watchman in Blackinoor-lane, to save her as she
I tressed, but be said he could not, and the few other
persons she met at that late hour, seemed not dn.
posed, or were afraid, to give her any assistance.
Mary Cotatell took her home to her iodgitigs iu
Iflaeldinoor-laste, amid it appeared she was not able
to get up *duns with Out assiatatice, front the usage

They called to her lodgings (Fitzgerald and

a most outrageous manner. broke some glass in the
sash-door, and pretended the free come had
robbed Fitzgerald of half-a-crown, but t%lary Con.

them but a small key, and it wits wit!. much difli-
ctilty the other lodgers compelled them to depart.
Such was the detail given of this barbarous acid
disgusting tramenction by the Piorecuttix, Mary
Connell, and Doud.

he said he found lit r the next day in the South In-
firmary about twelve o'clock, in a suite of inaenst-
bility ; there were several severe coutusions on her
arms, legs, and boils ; she complained very much
of pain in her cheat, and he had no doubt, from
some appearances, that she Was recently and forci-

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.

had with tlti, city, yet it also appears that out of nrs
number 16,618 were Americans. leaving 14,932
foreiguerr, which, of itself, is an impomant amount.
There is something also to covoider in the nu.
timbal character of these emigrants-7,629 were
English. and 6067 were Irish. The ;wiper.
lion of Irish to English emigrants Its been here-
tofore in Civour of the Irish, but this year ti.e
English takes the lead. It is certain that the
Irish have a more sincere attachment to this
country than the English—their associations, feel-
jogs, and the success of many of their countrymen.
have given a great spur to emigration ; added to tins,
their wanes and their enterprise iir.t greater thin
door of the English ; yet we have in this excess of
English emigration a very strong primfof the misery
of the times and the extremes to which they are re.
(lured, extremes which the Irish have scarcely articrtl
'at. If it is said that many of these were bound r)
Canada to settle on the ciown lands, the reply will
lie. that the expense of Inelegant Aims from Nen.v
York to Canada would exceed the value of tt.,ar
posaessionis and emigrants hound to Cattails gene-
rally take passage for Qaebec. If. on Ow other
hand, it is contended that many have returned to
Europe, we are satisfied that the number is very
trifling, and were not willing to 'yolk. Of Se011:11
thew were 1,942. This is a class of emigrants
which are not idle in any part of the work!.
There is in Delaware county in this state, a very
extensive and respectable Scotch settlement, parti-
cularly distinguished for making great quantities
of good butter and raising cattle. Of Swiss then:
ware 37-2. Considering that there is no maritime
intercourse between this country soil Switzerland.
and that we cannot be familiarly know to these
mountaineers, the number of emigrants is quite re-
aril Auk.
The Swiss, generally, are good fanners, and are
a hardy, indurtrioirs, toniperrte race of people ;
and if our songs of liberty could reach their
lakes, and glaciers—if they knew that they
could raise the mountain grape, and feed tht:
cattle its peace and tranquillity, we Omuta
a primer number amougst us. Of Welslitnea
we have 590—another class of temperate and ex-
cellent emigrants ptelllisily adapted to this couo•
try : and to skew how apt people are to choose for
a residence a country where habits and manners an•
similar to their own, in this animal batch of
emigrants we have only 217 Spanish, and 54 Pion-
gueve. most of whom are doubtless gone to the
neighbouring islands.

judicious impulse. and the time is not distant when
we shall have to look more closely into these ma:-
