( Extract from the Log. book of the Alfred, J. T. E. Flint,
SUNDAY, JUNE 2 from Sydney.)At 745 a. m, was much surprised
at an island being reported by the officer of the watch on
the weather bow, bearing N. E., our chronometer giving
us 50 or 60 miles to the Eastward of Aboalhas. Turned
the hands up to tack ship, but the wind drawing S. S.
Eastward braced sharp up, and held on to pass to
windward ; found by Horsburgh's Directory we could pass
to the Eastward of the islands without any damage At
8 30 got sight, and found we had a current of 50 or 60
miles to the S. Westward. At 10 30, passing about
7 miles off the island, and just on the point of keeping
away, struck on a coral rock, had just hove the lead (no
bottom, 17 fathoms), hove again immediately after striking,
and found the same. About a quarter of an hour after
standing out E. to E. by N., struck on another; had six
or seven hands looking Out, and steered between them ;
rocks extending three or four miles to the Southward of
us, and as far as we could see between the ship and the
mud; fortunately through the good conduct and exertions
of the crew we steered about Bor 9 miles between them,
at times not more than two ships' breadth, several of them
with only. 6or 7 feet water on them. Bearings when we I

1 eaten, one of the cheesecakes; and had become very sick
and iii fro 4, it,
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS directed an acquittal.
Verdict—Not guilty.
Mr. C. Pult.Lirs stated that Mrs. Hawkins had sent
some of the cheesecakes as a present to a young lady
whom she had brought up froth childhood, and that this
young lady had been in great danger from partaking of them;
Ames °Wen, 6torge Thomas, and William Ellis were
charged with the wilful murder of Christina, the wife of
Robert Collins, by drowning her. They were also charged
with the capital offence of having feloniously assaulted
her. They were tried on the latter ehargt% ,
.•
It appeared from the evidence of a number of wit-
nesses that the deceased, who had been a dressmaker at
Liverpool, was sent for by her husband, who had sought
and obtained employment in London, to join him there,
and that for that purpose she had on Saturday, the
15th of June, taken her passage on board one of
Mcrsrs. Pickford's fly-boats, of which the prisoner Owen
was the captain, and the other two prisoners, and a lad
named Musson, the crew. It appeared that the deceased ex-
hibited symptoms of alarm as early as the evening of Sunday,
_ as she then walked on the towing path from Stone to Ash.
ton lock, and there sharpened a small knife, which was
afterwards found in one of her trunks, which had been un-
corded for its introduction, as it had been corded when she
commenced her voyage. Evidence was also given of very
curse expressions on the part of two of the prisoners, and
a menacing one by one of them ; and it was also proved
that when the boat passed Hoo Mill lock, at midnight on
Sunday, the 16th, cries of distress were heard to proceed
from the boat, aoil that on the arrival of the boat at Faze.
I ley the deceased was missing; and that at five o'clock on
Monday morning. the 17th, the body 4 the deceased was
found in a part of the canal near Brindley Bank, where
the banks of the canal were sloping and the water wily 19
inches deep, the deceased thee having neither bonnet nor
shoes on, her shoes and bonnet being found ill the pri-
soners' boat, the utter having the crown driven in.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, on these facts, was of opinion
that there was no sufficient evidence to make out toe charge
against the prisoners. and his Lordthip directed an a squit tal,
Verdict—Not Guilty.
Mr. Sergeant LtroLow applied 'o have the trial of the
indictment for the murder postponed, on an affidavit of the
absence of a material witness.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMs directed the trial to be post-
poned, and ordered the prisoners to be remanded till the
next Assizes.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—IIuxTINGDox, JULY 23.
The Learned Judges, Vaughan and Bosanquet, open,,d
he commission here last night wi,h the usual forms.
To day their Lordships, attended by the High Sheriff
and a weil-arranged troop of javelin-men, in blue and
orange uniform, proceeded to Church, where they
heard an excellent sermon in allusion to those judicial
duties, which at these Assiz-s of o)er and terminer,
nisi prius, and general gaol delivery, they were not called
on to perform, there not being one cause in the Civil
Court, and not one prisoner in the calender. Mr. Justice
Vaughan, however, took his seat in the Criminal Court at
half-past twelve, and the names of the gentlemen of the
grand inquest having been called over, they retired to their
room. The foreman, on their return into Court, handed
in a paper to the Clerk of Arraigns, stating that they had
" nothing to present."
Mr. Jones, the Clerk of Arraigns, having read the paper,
His Loanstirp addressed the gentlemen of the Grand
Jury, stating that it bad been his duty, a few minutes
since, to charge them ; he had now another duty to per.
form, " not to charge, but to discharge ahem; and, added
his Lordship jocularly, " the country is greatly obliged to
you for the manner in which you have executed your la-
borious services." Upon which the Grand Jury smiled,
bowed, and retired ; the Clerk of Arraigns collected his
papers and deposited them in a tin box ; the Learned Judge
took down his three-cornered hat from its accustomed peg,
and followed the example of the Grand Jury ; the barris-
ters, unencumbered with briefs or fees, sadly and
slowly, in long line, filed off to the right and left of the
table, glancing mournfully, as they passed, at the empty
dock, the silent witness-box, the mute and melancholy
"crier," and the blank cause-list. Thus began and ended,
in about five minutes and fifty-five seconds, the assizes for
the county of Huntingdon. Even the curious Cr
that had thronged the Court and galleries, went off ap-
parently inconsolable, lamenting a state of society too
peaceful for litigation and too moral for crime. The
only persons that we observed with cheerful countenances
were the farmers, who had been summoned on the petty
jury panel, and who departed with alacrity, resolved to
act upon the old adage of " making hay tthile the sun
shines." We are glad to say the weather is now very
propitious for that work ; the crops arc excellent ; the
wheat, barley, turnips, &c., are in admirable condition,
arid present every appearance of an abundant harvest.
