An erroneous 'Statement of the trial of Nardi and teni,)l to rob ti,e liOnSt:. of VreLrick JOnes, Es 4. ai

..and reCeived
Acre (tehdirtg greatly to-injure my charakei), ' sentence ofideath.
M.o. appeared in- several of the'Daily Prints, in whiOh
Mr. PARKER is stated to have given. in . evidence—:-
" He had no doubt of the wound :having ,been the
Cause of -his (William Broad's) death; but
the . second. effusion of blood was the tf,'
feet of mismanagement" in 'taking up the artery
in the tirst,iiiistance; by Mr. Ijet"..;" but 'which
was not the fad._ By ,inserting in your Paper
you will much oblige me. onexarni.nlng theyoung
mar, I found the brachial, or main artery of „the
arm, divided just ,above,the.cubit.or bend ; and all .I
did for-him (which I only, meant as temporary, io
prevent his bleeding to death on the spot) was.dOpe
under the most ,embarrassed and distressed circum-:
stances possible, viz. in the shop of a stranger,-full
of people, With little or no "assistance,; and the man
laying on the floor, 'without any tourniquet or in-
struments necessary for the occasioti and' expeetitlg •
that before_l could possibly secure the upper portion
of the artery he would bleed to death; and which
was accomplished with great difficulty. I should,
most certainly have tied the lower portion'had it not
retrataed under the aponeurosis of the biceps and
flexor muscles of the fore arm, which rendered it
impossible without disseaiOri. I told_ the un-
cle of the. deceased it • was .- a most dangerous
wound, and desired him, as soon as hegot home, to
.send for Mr. JAMES WILSON, of Great WindMill-
street, a Gentleman well knownfor.hiA abilities; .and
for whom have every sentiment of respea, telling
-
him to inform Mr. WitsON I could only tic. the up-
per portion of the artery for.the .reasons before men-
tioned. Calling on the uncle the Friday following,
he said his nephew was gOne to 'Bartholomew s
HosPital, anti that he believed nothing more had
been done-for him than What had bebn done byme:.

On the Sunday I called on Mr. ABERNETHY (one
of the Assistant-Surgeons of the Hospital), accom-
panied .by a friend, who was present during-, the
whole of our conversation. Ithere inforoled Mr,
ABERNETHY I' had only tied the • upper portion of
the artery with a few threads, by no- means a proper
ligature, but the be§t,l could at that, time obtain.---
I-Ie said I. had done every thing which could be
done ; to make my mind:perfealy' easY; and I
might depend air every care being-taken .of him, and
observed he scarcely ever knew a case where the
brachial artery had been"divided which did not swell,,
but was rather inclined to doubt the division of the
artery, there being so good a pulse at the wrist.
This 'passed previous to -the' second .bleeding.tak
ing place, and it was proved,
~.- on dissection,
after death, that what I had stated to Mr. ABER-
NETHY was perfeEtly correa, and that there had
been no bleeding from the upper, portion of, the ar-
tery which I had tied. _ _ _

Letters from Trinidad yesterday reached town,
via Barbadoes, which mention the arrival in that
Island of two hundred Chinese, who are to be em-
ployed in the various• occupations of
.the slaves,—
This, experiment. has long been' In' contemplation,
and it is supposed will be found to supersede .the
necessity of future importations of slaves from the
Coast of :Africa. They are to: receive an annual

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—DanieI Tamer, a mart
of respetable appearance, was yesterday charged
with uttering seditious expressions.!
It appeard:by the statement' of the Landlord of
the Lemon Tree, in the Haymarket, that the De-
feridant made liis appearance at ,that house en Sun
day night, and requested to bo: nccommodated with
a bed. He.sat down in the parlour aunongstOthers;
where some, loyal. toasts. were :drank, and a Gentle-
nian gave " A check-string to the career of Bona- •
parte." The Defendan.t,cen.mented at sonic length
on the toast, in the coarse of which he used many
disloyal 2cp.ressioris,.. arid uttered mink-panegyrics
favour of Bonaparte. He at length drank, " Suc-
cess to Bonaparte and his Armies," which was re-
ceived with indignation by all presetit, and it vazi
thought expedient to take the Defendant' into
cus-
tody. Previous to this ati„ he was asked by thd
company if 110)0, merely spoken, the words ifoni.:
cally, or if be meant to recall them. .He, however.;
persisted in his sentiments, which he said were truly'
what:he meant. . The befendant was -conamittedi,
and the parties.botind over to prosecute.

A trotting match, which has been long talked of
in the sporting circles, and on which bets to an un-
precedented amount Were;depetidihg,•‘Vhs yesterday
decided at Hampton-court. The -race was between
Mr. Fentum's celebrated trotting pare, and the as
celebrated Kilcade mare, late the property of Mr.
Fletcher Read, but now belonging. to a Gentleman:
in the vicinity of Finsbury-square. The match
was for 20.0 guineas, and the distance was 16 miles,
from Bushy Park Gate, and eight .miles on the Sun-
bury-road, and back to the place of starting. The
bets were freely laid at 2 to t and 5 to 2 on the Man-
chester mare, and 6 to 4.. that the winner did not
perform the 16 miles in an hour. At starting the
Kilcade mare took the lead, followed the whole of
the eight miles closely by the other. They continued
together at full trotting speed until within a mile of
the coming-in 'post:. At Hampton; the distance al-
luded to, the animals were neck. 'and neck, each
• striving to make play; and,. in the last mile, the
Kilcade mare broke four times in to
,a santer,
,a od was
obliged to turn round, she having done so six times
during the race, and the other four times. The
Manchester mile won the race by half a Minute
only, having performed the 16 miles, in bad weather,
in 56 minutes.

An extraordinary, discovery was made laSt Stinday
morning byrlllr. Wm, Collins, farrier, in the stif•
ferings of a horse:the property of Mr: G. Steven-
son, of Maidstone, Which died. of the Stone on Sal
turdaynig4f, after having lingered a considerably
time in excrutiating agony. Mr. Collins, on opening
the anirriali.extraaed 17 stones, the largest weigh 7
ing 26 ounces and a ,half-,--gross weight of the
whole, seven pounds three ounces.
The person who was found dead last week hi
field near Wokingliath with his throat cut, proved
to be a native ,of :Sherborne; in Dorsetshire, named
Edward :Bown, a day lahourer,•6o year of age:
He was many years in the Army, and has two some
by a former wife (low serving in the Navy. He i 3
said to have lived on unpleasant terms with hiS wife;
whom he quitted about MichaelmaS laSt; and was
heard to say, "that he tVolild never return to het
any more." The body was interred on Wednesday
evening

On Monday se'nnight a trial of pedestrian skill
took place on the road from Steyning to Horsham,
which afforded much 'amusement to a number of
spectators, and occasioned many bets. Messrs:
GRINDALL and Coco', both Lieutenants in the
Nottingham Militia, were the competitors; the
race was twenty • miles, viz. from Steyning to the
ten mile ;stone and back again, for 20 guineas. Mr.
GRINDALL, who went over the last ten miles in an
hour and a quarter, was the winner.
In yesterday's report of the examination, at the
Public Office, Worship-street, • it should have been
mentioned that a military hat and a pairof shoes were
found on the spot where themurder was committed,
supposed to belong to Hagerty, who at that time
was attached to the Army of Reserve:
Capt. JAMES, of the Britannia West Indiamari,
in Blackwall Dock, adds his testimony to that of
many thousands who Italie experienced the efficacy
of the YELLOW FEVER
,ftEMEDY., by saying that he
has frequently witnessed its good effeels, and it is
what 'ought to he known to ail the world, as those
that do knoW of it hold it in the highest estirtia-:.
