Pierre Adolphus Augustine Sebire was indicted for
having feloniously discharged a loaded pistol at Emma
Hillyer, at Plymouth, on tlie, 12th of December last, with
intent to kill and murder her. There were other counts
in the indictment varying the charge.
Mr. H. T. Cole was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr.
Cox defended the prisoner.
This was a very extraordinary case, It appeared that
the prisoner, who was a fine, sailor-looking young man,
was a native of Jersey, the owner of several vessels trad-
ing from Jersey to Plymouth, one of which he com-
manded himself, called the Medora. In November last
he happened to be at Plymouth with his vessel, and
became acquainted with Mrs. Hillyer, the mother of the
girl he was charged with attempting to murder. Hear-
ing that she had a pretty daughter living with her uncle
anddu aunt at Devonport, he asked the mother to intro-
duce to her, and accordingly on the 24th of Novem-

bought the ring, and wished the girl to go out with him
and get the licence. The mother assented, and
an they
went out together, While out he made
to go into an ironmonger's shop for some article
leaving the girl outside, but it afterwards appeared
that he there bought a brace of pistols for 31., and gun_
powder, caps, and balls. He then took the girl to see the
lodgings. She sat clown on a sofa, but perceiving that
the prisoner was endeavouring to take the key from the
outside of the door she thought he meant to lock the door
arid take liberties with her, and became alarmed and
made her escape and went home. The prisoner came
there also, and in the evening they all went, as had been
before arranged, to the prisoner's lodgings, the girl and
her mother sleeping on a sofa-bed in the parlour. The
next day they went out for a walk, and returned in the
evening to tea. The prisoner seemed rather annoyed at
their being out without him, but nothing particular
passed. While tea was preparing the prisoner asked
Mrs. Hillyer to fetch him a pint of beer, and while she
was absent he said, " Emma, will you take a walk
She said she should not go out that night ; he said,
"Wont you ?" She replied, "No." He then said, "I
a.,m not ashamed to look at you ;" to which she replied,
One
Nor am I ashamed to look at you." He then said,
for you and one for me—one in each hand." He
then raised his hand in which was a pistol, and levelled
it straight at her head, and fired. He was at this time
about 6 feet from
her. The ball of the pistol passed
just over her head

just alarmed, ran out of the room,
screaming., and

. The Prisoner then d h'
1 she went out she heard another
and was not seen again till three or ma e is escape,
four days after, when

Samuel Rorth, aged 38, was indicted for assaulting
Ann Proudfoot, at Yarmouth, on the 14th of October,
and attempting to murder her by placing a pitch-plaster
over her mouth and nose.

Mr. Palmer and Mr. Bulwer were counsel for the
prosecution ; and ➢lr. Prendergast, Q.C., defended the

prisoner.

- The prosecutrix is a woman 38 years of age, who had
had four illegitimate children in Yarmouth by different
fathers, and would appear to have formed a similar con-
nection with the prisoner, who was at the time a fellow-
servant of her's, the result of which was that she again
became enceinte. As soon as she became aware of it,
she acquainted him with her situation, demanding
money, which seemed to perplex him. However, they
met by appointment on the Denes, a large sandy district
just outside the town, on the evening of the 14th of Oc-
tober last, for the purpose of discussing the matter. As
they were sitting down so engaged near the Northum-
berland Arms Inn, the prisoner all of a sudden jumped
up, and, applying a plaster to the face of his unsuspect-
ing paramour, attempted to hold her down. She, how-
ever, managed to get on her legs, and, tearing off the
plaster from her face, fled from him. He pursued her,
and, overtaking her, renewed the attempt to apply the
plaster, and made a:ferocious attack on her, tho violence
of which may be conceived when the surgeon, who
was called in by those who, being alarmed by her
cries, discovered her lying insensible, and on her face
near the inn, stated that her front teeth were knocked
in, and her whole face swollen to a level with her nose,
while on her throat were pieces of pitch. Being taken
to the hospital the prosecutrix was soon ascertained to
be free from vital injury; but she was an inmate of that

Mr. Prendergast then addressed the jury on behalf of
the prisoner, and, having contended that there was no
proof of the capital charge, even if the jury should be of
opinion
that the prisoner was in any way connected
with this extraordinary case, proceeded to call witnesses,

Gold has been collected in the gutters by children, and
scraped up from the footway in Collins-street. An old
steam-boat paddle-box has been converted into a " gold
office," and is doing very well. But several other trades
are doing well besides the gold diggers. I know from
the beat authority that two or three grocers in the town
have been making from 24,0001. to 27,0001 in the last
year, and are now making at that rate per annum.
Some, indeed most, of the butchers on the diggings have
made fortunes. In Melbourne bakers, linendrapers, and
shoemakers have done a famous business, and now that
labour is beginning to come into the market the master
carpenters and builders are likely to realise large sums.
An itinerant knife and scissors-grinder—the first seen
here—and a locomotive shoe-black have also made their
4001. or 5001. a-year. But this will not last. Grinding
and blacking, with some other things, really must
come down. 'Washerwomen carried their suds very
high, charging from 9s. to 12s. a dozen—a shirt and
its attendant collar reckoning as two. Some gentle-
men gave away, or threw away, all dirty clothes that
were almost new, and many went down the stream
of the Yarra Yarra, washed and rough-dried all
small articles themselves and bought new ones in the
town. This apparently prudent proceeding is, after all,
like everything else here—a " speculation," as we have
to pay storage for every bundle or package, and the bun-
dles of some gentlemen's rough-dried clothes have by.
this time multiplied considerably, and washing still con-
tinues " firm" at from 9s. to Its. per dozen.

A STRANGE SIGHT.—At Banff, in the north of Scot-
, land, on the afternoon of Saturday last, there was seen
coming in from the sea a huge pile of water, of a circu-
lar form, progressing rapidly towards the shore with a
gyratory motion. When first observed, it was appa-
rently about three miles off. As it approached it was
more distinctly seen, and was apparently about one hun-
dred yards in height and about thirty feet in diameter.
It moved with great rapidity, and reached the shore in
less than five minutes from the time at which it was first
observed. When it came among the breakers, it caught
a wave in the act of breaking, and dispersed its waters
into a thousand forms. The whirlwind, however, con-
tinued its course, playing strange pranks on the shore.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—THE ROYAL EXHIBITION. —A
valuable newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat
pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can
be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer every
purpose on the race course, at the opera houses, country
scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles ;
they are invaluable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting,
to sportsmen gentlemen, game keepers, and tourists.—
To be had at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly—observe,
opposite the York Hotel. Telescopes.—A new and most
important invention in telescopes, possessing such extra-
ordinary powers, that some, 3/ inches, with an extra
eye piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's
ring, and the .double stars. With the same telescope,
weighing only three ounces, can be seen a person's
countenance 3/ miles distant, and an object from 16 to'
20 miles. They supersede every other kind for the waist-
coat pocket, and are of larger, and all sizes with increas-
ing powers accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses,
with wonderful powers. An object can be clearly seen
from 14 to 16 miles distant. Messrs. S. &B. Solomons,
opticians, have invented invaluable preserving spectacle
lenses ; immediately they are placed before imperfect
vision, every object appears clear and distinct ; the most
aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, is
brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. The

struments for relief of extreme deafness.-39, Albemarle-

HONOUR TO THE BRAVE.--A gratifying, scene occurred
at the Cavalry Depot, on Friday afternoon last, when a
general parade assembled, by order of the commandant,
to witness the presentation of a medal and clasps to
those of the non-commissioned officers and men of the
depot troop of the 3d Light Dragoons who shared in the
victories of the late Punjaub campaign. Colonel Grif-
fiths, in an eloquent and appropriate speech, congratu-
lated the gallant fellows on the distinguished honour
conferred on them ; and to the young and aspiring
soldiers of the garrison, pointed out the value of the re-
ward which a grateful nation bestowed upon its defenders
for eminent conduct in the field. The non-commissioned
officers and men entitled to the honour were called to

A considerable increase iu the number of women, most
of them of a respectable kind, has taken place in Mel-
bourne within the last few weeks. There are also more
up at the diggings. The concealed tents for unlawful
purposes at the diggings--grog selling, gambling, &c.—
are reduced in number. The shops in Melbourne are
rapidly improving, and have recently received most
brightening additions in the shape of jewellery; but
burglaries and robberies in the open streets are more
than usually daring.

BIRTHS.
OF A SON.
On the 18th inst., at Earisgood, Reigate, the wife of
Clare Sewell, Esq.

Wehave had very cool weather, with now and then
a broiling day, and hot clouds of dust. On the night of
the 7th we had a magnificent storm of thunder and
lightning—lakes and seas of flame in the sky—followed
by a deluge of rain. The air has been cool ever since.
The summer is very late. No doubt we shall have it hot
enough sliiortly.
The news I have just received from the Burra Burra
mines is that Schneider's Patent Copper Company
have
lit the fire in their smelting-houses—a sure sign they ex-
pect a return of smelters. Many of them were receiving
181. and 201. a month when they left. I know of at
least 10 in this place who have abandoned digging, and
are about to return to Burra Burra.
