FOR THE DEFENCE,

Pr. Devereux, examined by Mr. Duco'sf.—ls a physic nn
knows Father Carroll for the last fourteen years; remembers
the unfortunate transaction now under discutision ; had been
for the last three years in attendance on Mr. Carroll, with the
exception of two months previously to this transaction, and
during that period he had not seen him. To question of Whitt
he thought of Mr. Carroll'e state of health,-the witness replied,
that he laboured under a determination of blood to the head,
a confusion of ideas, and impaired memory, and be consi-
dered him incapable of anderstandivg even simple subjects.--
He was what medical' men call having • a predisposition to in-
sanity, but was .always relieved by Medicine. Mr. Cnrroll
had ceased to take medicine for two months previously to. this
unfortunate act. Witness saw him by accident on the day of
the 9th of July, kneeling in the gripe of a ditch by the road
side with his hat oil, and covered with dust, he was then app/t-
-rendy very ranch deranged. This occurred between four and
five o'clock in the evening, and before any part of the occur-
rence now before the Court had taken place. He had known
the prisoner far fourteen years, and during that period he had
borne the character of being a most exemplary man; and a
most pions clergyman ; witness thinks that his having omitted
for two months to take the medicine which had been pre-
scribed for hint, led him to that state of fanaticism tt hith •de-
luded him into the idea that he could work miracles. Knows.
bliss Brown; attended her; there was to witness's knowledge
a delusion among the people as to supernatural powers being
,vested in Father Carroll, 'as well as in other Roman Catholic
Priests; witnestesproftetsion leads him to mingle with 'the lOWer
orders, and he can therefore swear that he finds a great. prone
ness iii them to believe in miracles, and also that people are
possessed hrthe devil, and that the Priests have the power of
banishing him.

MADRID, JULY 27.—(Extract of a Private Letter.)—lt is
not difficult to see what will be the result of the present
order, but it is not easy to remedy it. If the French army does
Lot retreat to sonic good position, without waiting for the

before long it will be obliged to live as in an enemy's country;
and the immediate consequence will be a civil war in Spam,

We have already noticed the distinguished

Russia deigned to give to the French naval divi-

readers will be gratified with some further testi-
monials of the good-will with which his Majesty
was pleased to honour the French navy. At the
visit of the Baron Lecoupi, Commander of Divi-
sion, to the Admiralty, he appeared to remark
with interest a compass of anew construction,
suspended and lighted by a mode newly invented.
Shortly afterwards the Minister of Marine, by or-
der of the Emperor, sent this compass as a present
to the Baron,accompanied with charts of the Bal.
tic ,richly bound. M. Lecoupir (whose frigate has
been honoured by the visit of his Imperial Ma-

Thu followiuz details of the lato affray
.ween the French and Spanish soldiery are ex•
racted from Galignani's Messenger :

Martnth, ./1)1.1( 24.--It is said that the mountains ot Ronda
and Malaga nre inremted with armed bands, who intacept the
communicntions. It is certain that an A ide.dc•Camp of the
French Commander-in-Chief has set out for Corunna, with
orders frmn King Ferdinand to disarm the Royalists who in•
dare themselves in excesses against the French.
The Supreme Council of War has just published a circu•
lar relative to the new levy. The following is one of Its pro.
visions:---

" The Nobimt drawn by lot to form part of the army, and
who hitherto were not exempted from the service without pay-
ing 20,000 reale alien enjoy the same favour upon paying only
16,000. The of leers of the RaptHet army Shell be included in
the drawing, and if the lot fall% upon them, shall: be substituted
by the number which follows their own."

I morning a Spaniard was found assassinated at the Puerto
del Sol.

J o t.v H.—Yesterday the capital was the theatre of a lament.
able scone. Some French chasms being in a pot.house, were
innitcd by one of Quesada's soldiers, who was soon chnatised
for his rashness. Other Spaniards took part in the quarrel,
and the guards, composed entirely of Spaniards, instead of en-
deavouring to restore order, indulged themselves in excess
against the chaaseurs. The French soon came up and took the
part of their comrade. In an instant sabres were drawn, and
the French sustained an unequal combat. The Royalist volun-
teers of the quarter caused la generale to be beaten, and, after
taking anus, Hocked in crowds to the scene of action. A mus.
ket shot was the signal of assassination. The French, without
any arms except their satires, defended themselves hendually,
and dearly sold their lives. The 110U5t8 were closed—the doors
were harm:edited—terror prevailed on every side, and cries of
" Death to the French :" resounded. The populace, armed
with stones and clubs, Twilled upon the French. The Itoyaliat
volunteers kept up it fire. More than three hundred muskets
were discharged.' Fortunately they did not do the mischief that
might have been expected.
Generel Ordonneau and General Quesada coming up with
the French anti Spanish troops, succeeded after much exertion,
in restoring order. An extraordinary thing is, that the Spa.
Mania, who ulone were armed with ronskets, had more killed
anti wounded than the French. The latter had five or six men
killed, and twice the number wounded. Upon this occasion
14 generale was beaten, and all the troops were tinder arms.—
Ire make no reflections. All the blame attaches to the
Sponiards.

Camp, under the escort of eight chasseurs, to Sacedon, with is

THE BUItMEiE WAR.

PORTsivrowrif, Auu: 7.-01) Tuesday his Ma-
jeety's new ship of war the Asia, rated of 84 guns, built at
Bombay, under the acting command of Captain Ma it x
CURRIE, arrived front Bombayq, whence she sailed on the 29th
of March, and called off St. 141ena and Ascension, and ascer..
tained that those Islands were tranquil and healthy. When the
Asia left Bombay, Commodore G easy" was about to sail in
the Ltikw, to cu-operate with the Military force which had been
some tints preparing et Madras, to takepossession of Rangoon,
and. the other Bsa'nu'i Sea-ports.—lle had dispatched the
Slaney, 18, Capt. Charles Mitchell; Larne' 18, Capt. Free
derick ttlarrystt, and the Sophie, 18, Capt. George I rederick
Ryves, to Madras.—The Expeditiou in preparation there, was
to consist of three European Regiments, and five battalions of
Sepoys, with a proportion of Artillery, &c.—The Supreme
Government of India appears convinced, that, front the hostile
determination of the Burmese, measures on a very extensive
scale, and of the most determined character, are highly neces.
sary.—Their hostile determination was fully evinced in the
action which took place on the Moneypoor Frontier, in the dis.
trict of Catchear, when Lieutenant Colonel Bowen was detested,
with the loss of five officers and 160 men killed and woanded.
—lt was understood that Sir Edwerd Paget had been recalled
front his tour of inspection in the North of India, purposely to
take the command of. the force assembling on the frontier of
Demi and Chattegong ; but it was regretted that our troops
could not calculate on more than two months' active operations,
as the rainy, and consequently the sickly season would then
come on i the interior of the Burmese Territory is the most
sickly part of all lndia.—When the Asks sailed, the Alligator
was cruising in the Persian Guiph, and the Tees was going to
make the annual visit to New South Wales.
The Asia has been brought home by the Officers and crew of
the Satellite, which ship has been sold out of the service. The
Asia is :larger than the Ganges, and of an improved round
stern.' •She has broupht from Bombay the frame of one
line.of.battle ship and a frigate, and a quantity of Naval
stores.—She will come Into ;tabour on Tuesday, to he paid off.

HYDROPHOBIA..

-~-.,w.,,,,-_.

FOR THE SUN.
Mu. EDITO—At when not only the
alarm, but the actuateXistence of Hydrophobia
prevails, it liehotres those who are acquainted
with the nature of this shocking malady, to offer
to the public thnt advice, which if strictly fol.
lowed, may almost to a certainty prevent those
who may have had the misfortune to be bitten,
us also those who may hereafter be so, from fall-
ing a sacrifice to a disease which no medicine on
the records, from the earliest periods, has been
known even to alleviate, putting a recovery out of
the question. ..With a full conviction of the truth
of that which has been stated, and which may be
further substantiated by a reference toall or any
of the respectable Medical Practitioners in the
Metropolis, it is earnestly recommended, that
Tnosn whose province it is to protect the lives of
the Community should forthwith restrain the sale
of every nostrum, such us the Ormskirk medi-
cioe, dipping in the sea, &c. &c. It is by no
means the wish of the writer, that a further in.
quiry should not be prosecuted, for the purpose
of ascertaining any mode, by which the disease
may be prevented, or cured, when it has made
its appearance, but the experience of many cen-
turies offers not any'rnedical or mechanical means
of curing, the: malady when once formed. The
great-objection, which is and should be. made to.
the use of nostretns, 'arises from the certainly fatal
consequence to those. 'who have been. bitten, by
an undoubted rabid animal, if they confide solely.
in the supposed anti-rabid properties of adver-
tised medicines; for 'it is an undoubted fact, that
every one of the many quack advertised nos-
trums, are not-only useless, but productive of the
greatest possible evils. Many a poor sufferer has
gone through a most rugged road to death, by
confiding in the'Orinskirk and other " drinks,"
and thus letting slip the .only chance, and I may
add, the almost certain chance of being saved,
namely, by having the wounded parts cut out. it
has been ascertained by the actual experience of
the writer, that many lives have been saved by
a removal of the bitten portions, not one ever
having had a, single symptom of the disease who
submitted to this. (generally trifling) operation.
And it is en ascertained fart, that ulthough it is
advisable and prudent, to remove the wounded
parts as soon as possible, yet even up to the end
of time fifth week, it will give a very good chance
of escape. All. the cases which have been at-
tended by the writer, the individuals had been
bitten exactly six weeks previously to the first
Symptoms shewing themselves, and the same pe-
riod is remarked in all the well and truly au-
thenticated histories. The various poisons which
are introduced into the body act very differently,
as to the time of showing their effects on the con-
stitution ; the sting of the Hornet, or Bee, pro.
d urea bib tantuneous swelling and pain in the part,
and soon subsides. The bite of the Rattle Snake
and Viper, both of which convey their poison
through n tube in the fangs, with which they
wound, is neither so painful as the sting of the
Hornet, nor so rapid in their effects, which are
mainly on the constitution, for the poison thus
Injected into the-wound is absorbed or carried
into the' general circulation, mind a few hours are
required' before ',any great disturbance of the
health is manifested.. Many other instances might
be given, but those. already mentioned arc' stas
ficient for the purpose. The poison, supposed
to be carried into the body by the tooth of the
Dog, appears to observe another, and a much
longer period, before it can show its mischievous
activity, namely, a period of six weeks in the
human subject, mitt which protracted term af-
fords the person bitten ample opportunity to
adopt the plan which alone can be trusted in pre-
venting a malady the most appalling and cer-
tainly fatal that can happen. The poison from
n rabid animal appears to be in a state of inacti.
vity during the first five weeks. As a degree of
soreness and aching pain are alone experienced
in the bitten parts, the day previous to the hor-
rible symptoms which follow. The writer has
no objection to the Ormskirk medicine, and
others in any quantity subsequent to the excision
of the wounded parts, as lie is convinced they are
harmless, and the use of them umy in addition
soothe the mind of the individual who drinks
them. One more observation. The writer of
these remarks bus removed from the hand of one
man, who was bitten by a dog undoubtedly ra-
bid, the bitten parts twenty-five days subsa.
(pettily, and he remains well. From the face
of another, the parts fifteen days afterwards—
he is also well—and a great many others
at shorter periods. The dog after he has
bitten a person should not be destroyed, but
be tied up and watched, for he will rarely in-
jure his toaster or persons who are not strangers.
The dog never lives beyond four days in a rabid
state, and frolli the circumstance of destroying
the animal many are kept in a state of most
painful suspense which would be obviated by not
destroying him, except under circumstances of

The pronitnittide with which his Meje*lY
Government have attended to the complaints of the inhabitants
Of Prince Edward's Island, on the subject of alledgetirtbuttes its
that island, is consoling to the inhabitants of the Colonies, who
are unfortunately some times compelled to have recourse to the
justice of the Mother Country. The Halifax papers contain, a.
letter from the Under Secretary of State to the agent for the in.
habitants, dated in March, in which he states that the Governor
had been ordered to assemble the Legislature, which he had
not done for several years, and stay all proceedings regarding
the Quit Rents, Judge Haliburton, of Nova Scotia, was in the
Island in May, taking information on the part of Government,
in respect to the alledged increased fees in Chancery, since the
appointment of the Governor's son-in-law to be Hegistrar..—
Tilese proceedings, with the appointment of Col. Ready, to be
Lieutenant Governor; which has been announced, will, it is to
hoped, restore harmony in the island.--(Quebec Gazelle.)
The old Cltateuu in this city is now undergoing
proper repairs previous to its being occupied by the lion. Sir
iItANCIS Beltran, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province,
on whom his Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer the
Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian OuelphicOrder.--(/bid.)
In two of the vessels which arrived last week
we understand, there were several cases of the Small Pox. The
fatality of the disease makes it necessary, and the duty of all
persona, to guard against Its introduction. Vaccination, which
is an effectual preventive, Is easily secured and ought to be im.
mcdiately resorted to. The small pox prevailed during last
winter in this city,, and in a number of cases proved fatal.
