WICKLOW ASSIZES.

John Burin was found guilty of it 'burglary and
felony in the dwelling=house of :•David Byrne, 'of
Ballyeustaee, and ,was adjudged to be executed on
Saturday, Sept. 14.
It appeared in evidence, that this robbery was
planned in Dublin ; a night or two before the
robbery, the prisoner and five. others robbed a
house .near Clontarf of a (pigtail of dollars; im-
mediately after the robbery at C ontarf, the pri_
sorier hired a:jaunting-car to go to Rathdown,
the county of Wicklow ; they proceeded from the
Canal Harbour on ,the morning of the 6th of Au-
gust, and got to liathdown at or before dinner
in the dusk of the evening, the prisoner, with Live
others, proceeded to the house of David Byrne,
who being then absent, and no one at home but
his wife and a little girl, they. tied the ar.gts of
Mrs. Byrne with, small cords tarred, and rifled the
house of 20 guineas ?u gold, and two pound notes, •

On N Vedne4day se'nnight two gentlemen in Ayr,
discovered a female suspended on a gate in that
neighbourhood, where she had tucked herself up.
They immediately cut her lowo, and saved her
from strangulation. She afterwards. reparred:tb-
wards the water of Doon with a view to• throw
herself over the bridge; but not liking to precipi-
tate herself (rain such a height., she proceeded to
the sea-shore, and immersed herself beneath the
waves, from which she was taken out in a state
of pparent insensibility, by a man who was pitss-
ing.by.,, She
.said her name was Thomson, and
'that she7Came from Irvine.

' The jockeying tribe were pretty numerous at
Stockwith fair east week; A farmer frOm the
neighbourhood got a chop for a 40-guinea horse,
and received in exchange one that was not
worth three pounds ; the knowing-one made safe
his retreat with his valuable prize. The light-
:fingered gentry were also very alert. A Imo! felloW
(a miller at Gringley), to_the great disappoint-
ment of himself and nntnerous family, had his poc-
ket picked'ot 261. with Which he intended to have
bought a tow : several other slight-of-hand tricks
were exhibited of minor consequence. The af-
ternoon previous to 'the fair, the peaceable and
jocund inhabitants of Stockwith were seriously
alarmed by the appearance of a ul beast in the
thronged streets,. which by its action. a 6 fierce
attitude threatened destruction to every opponent.
A little girl about six' years old was very near fall-
ing a victim to the enraged animal, by receiving
dan,,,Perotts wonoths from the furious beast. A me-
dical man, however, who happened to he en the
spot. Very promptly sewed up the woutuh, and
hopes are entertained of her speedy recovery.—
Several other people very narrowly escaped the
saute fate; before the iruntie animal could be se
cured.

Tuesday se'nnight, in the morning;
two rAu Les
were bathini at the west end of the,Doek, in
Warren's-point, north of Ireland. One of then
ladies, Hiss I'ArPF.R, Of Tamieragee, unhappily
ventured too far into the channel, where the
deep water at the ebbing of the tide approaches
very nearlhe beach. In this channel the young
Lady was drowned. Miss HARDY made every
effort to save her perishing friend that hinnanity
and affection could dictate. Such Were her exer-
tions that she nearly skulk under them, and was
herself nearly drowned. Miss HARDY was brought
out of the water in a state of insensibility, but is
now in a -fair way of recovery. This account
bears 14 very close resemblance to the lac naelau-
dkOly event at liumsgate.
