The SupreMe Court of Judicature has recently
concluded a • Circait of Garil delivery into the
Northern Distriets.---A heavy calendar of various
offences came before the Court at Jaffnapatam,
and' a number of convictions took place. Six
persons received sentence of death for murder,
f(Mr of whom are ordered for execution on the
25th instant, the other two his Excellency the
Governor intends to recommend to his. Majesty
for mercy.
Juries of Bramins and other Hindoo CaSts; in-
habiting the Northern part of the Island, were
impanelled, for the first tithe on this occasion, and
performed their duty with the same intelligence
and impartiality as had been previously experienc- •
ed in the 'Cingalese Districts.
The Judges were. received at the different sta-
tions with the usfial honours, and their return to
Colombo was announced by the salute due to their
rank.

from Trincomalee,. that the country ship Java,

on the lt.'"th April, bound for this post, but dur-
inig a gale of wind, which happened on tbe 28th
of April, was -.driven so far out of her course as
to be -unable to. make Colombo, and in conse-
quence ran into Trincomalee.. .. •

A neat marble drapery tablet, executed by Mr.
King, of Batik; has just been erected in the N. W.
aisle of the•Ahhey church (at the sole' expense of
Mail4roe, Storace and Mr. Braham), to the memo-
ry of Rauziini, with a few notes from his fiwn
Requiem), and the following inscription.:—" Near
this place rest
,the remains of Venanzio .Rauzzini,
a native of Rome, distinguished as a vocal fJer-
former on the Continent and in England; whose
judicious abilities for thirty-six years, in conduct-
ing.the Musical Department of Bath, amply grati-
fied the applauding public.; and whose lever .v,ra-
,cious deportment Conciliated their zealous
Con. This tributary memorial was•erected by his
affectionate pupils, Anna 'Selina Sterace and John,
Braham, prompted by their friendship and grate-
ful respect for professional merit and liberality of
seutiment." 7 •
