iVilliana Victor, a Hanoverian, who could scarcely speak
a word of English, was charged by Mrs. Gagan with rob-
bing her of a shawl, and also with having married her
daughter, Eliza, aged 16, while he had another wife living.
The prisoner was a tailor, and had been only six months
in this country. It was, however, afterwards stated that
he was known to have been a smuggler on the coast, and
that, while in London, he had been connected with a private
still, but finding it necessary to get out of the way of the
excise officers, be left a woman, said to be his wife, and
went to lodge at Mrs. Gagan's. He was there treated as
one of the family, and at length married Miss. Eliza, having
first borrowed a sovereign from her sister to pay the fees.
It appeared, however, that he expected her mother to pro-
vide them with furniture, &c., and being disappointed, 11F.,
deserted his young wife in less than a week, carry IraZ
trinkets and other articles belonging to her, and a
belonging to her mother. Mrs. Gagan searched after him,
and found him with his first wife.
Toe daughter, a good-looking girl, said that lie had talked
her over, arid. gained her a.ffections.

Mr. BROUGHTON—He could not tall: you ovi l. much
for he can't talk for himself, and is far from having anything
attractive in his appearance.
After hearing some further evidence, Mr. BROUGHTON
said that be must be d:scharged, though he appeared.to
have acted like a base va;abond.—The prisoner was ac-
set at liberty.

The Lord Lieutenant is coming to London. His Excel-

purpose of being present at the Curragir April Meeting. we
learn from the Dublin Evening Post that he will return on
Friday, and on Saturday se'nnight it is hi; Excellency's in_
tention to proceed to England—Lords Justiceh:, in the interim,
being sworn in. The Noble Earl, whose temp nrary absence,
we believe, is attributable principally to public tAusiness, will
remain e/fortnight in London."
THE BaLtArtNon RtoTees.—His Excellency has given
another proof that je3tice may be wisely tempered with mercy,
by pardoning the unfortunate men who were convicted two
years ago of a desperate riot in the village of Ballyeagh, in
the county of Kerry.

On Friday five unfortunate people, dragged from their far dis-
tant homes, were placed before the. Court. One, a female,
declared her inability to pay. A man, named New, alleged
that he had no lease of his place, and that besides, as he never
gave the minister any trouble, he thought lie had no rieitt to
pay him. The poor people further alleged that they had not
got sufficient notice to enable them to appear in time. This,
howei-or• did not save them from a remand to the walls of a
gaol. proceedings like these will do more to destroy the
Church, as it, is, -than all the efforts of those who would ren-
der it, what it ought to be, could accomplish. A day or two ago
there were actually upwards of 300 appearances entered in
the Court of Exchequer to answer the tithe-claimants, and
to save the parties from the operation of the writs of rebellion.
But for Lord Mulgrave's wise and just administration of affairs,
and Mr. O'Connell's successful advocacy of the cause of good
government, the war waged by the dominant faction would
drive the people into actual rebellion/

IRISH MUNICIPAL BlLL.—Uoless the Tor:es
introduce a clause into their Bill restricting Ihe Crown from
granting Municipal Charters to the Irish towns, they cannot
ensure the permanent success of their determination to deprive
them of that benefit. The Crown may, of its own right, grant
Municipal Charters,—the House of Commons may humbly
call upon the Crown to exercise the Royal Prerogative in that
respect, so that without such a clause in the Tory Bill directly
limiting the prerogative of the Sovereign, the machinations of
these enemies of the people may easily be defeated. Bat
should the Tories, in assailing.the liberties of the people, at-
tach also the prerogative of the Monarch. we ask—whether
such political apostacy and falsehood, for the basest of pur-
poses, were ever exhibited to the disgust of any people ?

Last week, as a labourer, named William Han-
cock, was cleaning out a well, the property of Mr. Lines, at
Westbury, the sides gave way, so that the shaft was instantly
fined with sand and earth nearly to the top. Mr. Lines im-
mediately set some We Ihsinkers to work, to extricate the poor
man from his perilous situation, and after thirteen hours' in-
c'ssant labour, they found him at the bottom, without any frac-
ture or bruise, having suffered only from fright, want of pure
air, and exhaustion of body. Medical aid was immediately
rendered, and he is doing well.—Thvizes Gazette.

DREADFUL,IDF.~7'i•—OnSaturday last a
very serious accident occurred of Clifton. About 12 o'clock
at noon the shell of a house, recently erected at the corner of
Nelson.place, suddenly fell down, burying several workmen in
the ruins, and greatly aim:ming many others e. work in the ad-
joining premise-. After more than an hour, spent in reyncving
stones, bricks, and timber, two men were discovered, who
were, as might be expected, lifeless. One of the ntb.o had a
violent cootus'on on the head and his arm broken ; the other
did not appear lo have any bone fractured, but both were eV-
dently suffocated beneath the mass of fallen rubbish. It ap-
peared that one was the mason, who had the principal managz-
ment of the building, of the name of John Thorpe; the other
a carpenter. of the name of Joseph Bennett. The bodies were,
t7ken to the tap of the Clifton Hotel, to await the Coroner's
i,quest. On Monday J. B. Grindon, Esq., held an inquest
on the above, which was numerously attended. After he had
d?livered an able address on the points which the Jury would
have to consider, they proceeded to view the bodies, which pre-
sented nothing material ; one was more brui•ed than the other,
but it was evident that both must have died instantaneously._

Another gatm,- of suspected highwaymen were on
Wednesday committed to our county goal, for trial. They,
four in number, are charged with attacking William Hartill on
the highway, near to Hales Owen, and robbing him of 4s. G.%
and his hat. The unfortunate man, it is said, was returning
1,•on-i a fair in the nei,,4llbJurhood, when he was suddenly at-
tacked by four men, who, threw him down, and one of them,
planting his knee on his throat, held him till lie IoA all sen.a-
tion from suffocation—the ethers meantime mercilessly It.ck.-
inr and beating him. They then plundered him of all the
money in his pockets, and left him senseless and dreadfully
hruised.—Shrewsburn Chronicle.

The Guzetic rfe✓ Fraiwe states that "a most re-
v ilting act of impiety and barbarism was committed on Good
Friday, at Madrid, by the Queen's Body Guards. The niag-
niqcent Christ. the Christ of the Guards, which was made by
Angelo Monasterio, in ISOS, and considered his duef d'auvre,
and which the Guards have ever since been accustomed to
clrry in procession to this festival, was this year broken to
pieces by the officers of the company. An attempt has since,
been made to induce a belief that it was an accident, but tha
general conviction is that it was an act of wilful sacrilege.

The artist lost his life by shipwreck, on the coast of America,
nd now the master-piece, which was to have perpetuated his
name, has perished also."
A report is prevalent that it is contemplated to re-
move the Ely Assizes to Cambridge. Perhaps this intention
may originate with a design on tke part of the Government to
eo away with the secular authority of the Bishop of Ely, as
in the case of Durham, sad to assimilate the administration of
justice to other parts of the kingdom—Cambridge Express.
