SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION.

WILLIAM BUTTERCASE, Sen., potatne merchant, St. An-
drews, May 12 and 27, at one, at Adamson's, Cross Keys Inn, St.
Andrews.

So desperate has the cause of Sir Francis Burdett
become that his Committee have engaged the dray-horses at
Elliott and Co.'s Brewery to drag up the reluctant voters to-
morrow. Part of these horses are parading about, with riders
bearing small blue pennons, that the Burdettites may be as-
sured there will be plenty of animal power to assist them. We
think this a proper case to call for the interference of the So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

In the'Court of Common Pleas, yesterday, in the
case of Grant v. Lainson and Others, which had not concluded
when our reporter left the Court, the Jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff, Damages 2001.

Lord G-, a -day or two ago, called on a Mr.
Francis, a very respectable housekeeper, in Brown-street,
Grosvenor-square, to solicit his vote in favour of Sir Francis
Burdett, when the following conversation took place :—" I
hope .your Lordship will excuse me in what I am goinc, to say,
but if your Lordship had a servant that did not do his duty to-
wards you, would your Lordship not discard him?" " Most
certainly 1 would," was his Lordship's reply. " Then most
certainly I shall discard Old Glory,' as I consider that he has
turned Vlrl back upon his constituents, so that I shall give my
vote to. Leader." His Lordship seemed as if he could not say
"ho to a goose," and he evidently appeared quite chop-fallen
at the result of the conversation.

MR. Das RAELI'S "VENETIA."—We arc requested
i state that this »ew work from the pen of the author of
Viv Via Grey," will be published by Mr. Colburn, of Great
Narlborough- street, on the 11th inst., and those who desire to
obtain it on the day a publication, are requested to seed their
orders immediately to their respective Bookseller:. Agents

John Cumming, Dublin.
ISLINGTON OMNIBUSES.—The inhabitants of
Islington arc much annoyed with the inwssant noise made by
the conductors of rival omnibuses; they commence blow *.
their horns at an early hour in the morning, and continue
almost without intermission until after many persoas are in
their beds at night, and this, too, in the loudest manner, each
striving to outvie the others in noise, and causing no small
degree of danger to those who ride or drive along the road.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MAY S.—We
have had a moderate demand for Cotton to-day, and prices on
the whole are rather more in favour of the buyer. Sales

CRIMINAL COURT-('l'li IS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

Thos. Cornell; a labourer, was, indicted for foloniouslv cut-
ting and wounding with a razor Mary Anne Austen, with in-
tent to kill and murder her.

The prosecutrix, a plaiu.looking woman, about 23 Scars of
age, gave her testimony in the dearest manner. It differed
nothing from that which had been detailed during the past
week in the police reports.
The surgeon who attended on the prisoner and his victim
for 19 days to heal their wounds, and the policeman uho met
the prosecutrix on her escaping from the house, were the only
witnesses evernined. No Counsel appeared on either side.
When the prisoner was asked what he had to say to the
charge, he replied that he could give no account of the cir-
cumstance, and that he felt no malice to any person.
Mr. Justice PAkK inquired if any person was present who
could speak as to the character of the prisoner; but no per-
son carne forward. The Learned Judge then minutely
summed up, pointing out to the Jury the legal distinctions
that are made between murder and manslaughter in cases where
death would ensue. The Jury, after deliberating. for a quarter
of an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty.

The Learned JUDGE approved of the verdict, observing that
it was the clearest case which had come under his notice for
many years.

NEW COURT.

Sarah Hughes was indicted for stealing a diamond. value
51., the property of Benjamin Sayer. In November, 1854,
the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, and when she
left, the ring in question was missed. She, however, escaped
the vigilance of the police until last March. The facts of the
ease were fully proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of
Gu Ity.

WINDSOR-MONDAY.

We regret to state that accounts reached Windsor Castle
late last night of the death of her Serene Highness the Dow-
ager Duchess of Saxe- Meinengen, daughter of the Prince of
Hohenlobe Langueburg, and mother to her Majesty the Queen.
Her Majesty was deeply affected at the intelligence ; but we
are happy to learn that the report of Dr. Davies this morning
is that, although the Queen is necessarily depressed in spirits,
in consequence of the melancholy bereavement, the shock is
not calculated to interfere with the gradual improvement the
Queen is making towards the re-establishment of her health.
The dinners to the Knights of the Garter and of the Bath,
and also of the Thistle and St. Patrick, which were about to
take place, are postponed.
His Majesty took a carriage drive in the Park this afternoon,
accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta.
This morning Lord and Lady Cawdor, Lord Viscount
Emlyn, Lady Caroline Campbell, Sir W. Houston, and Sir
lioujamin Stephenson, took their departure for town.
