The Assizes commenced at Cardigan on Thurs-
day, the 19th inst. Much to the credit of the county, there
was not a single prisoner for trial.

THE LAW or LIBEL—Some time in the year
1833, an article, strongly reflecting on the political conduct
and professional knowledge of Mr. Dominick Ronayne, M. P.,
appeared in a Clonmel paper, for which Mrs. Carson, a widow,
proprietress of that journal, was tried at the Spring Assizes,
last year, found guilty, and damages to the amount of 1,200/.
were awarded against her. Mr. R. subsequently obtained. in-
formation sufficient to fix the authorship of the libel on the
Rev. Mr. Bell, master of the endowed school at Clonmel.
Mr. Ronayne laid his damages at Five Thousand Pounds,
and the case was tried at the Kilkenny Assizes on Tuesday
last, by a jury who found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 100/.
damages, and 6d. costs t In one case the innocent proprietor
of the paper is adjudged to forfeit 1,2001., and, in the other,
the real anthor of the libel is let off for 1001.

SUICIDE OF MR. J. M. NEWMAN, OF NOTTING-
HAM.—On Sunday morning, at an early hour, a considerable
excitement pervaded the town, in consequence of the body of
an elderly person, dressed in black, having been found in the
canal, near to the Navigation Inn, with his throat cut, and the
pockets empty. Some time elapsed before the body was re.
cognized to be that of Mr. John Newman, brother to Mr.
Benjamin Newman, formerly a draper on the Long-row, now
retired from business, and living in Devonshire. The deceased
had been for many years absent from Nottingham, and only
returned in December last, since which time he had lived in
the town, and mixed a good deal in society, frequenting va-
rious harmonic meetings and musical parties, where his vocal
powers and hilarity of disposition rendered him an acceptable
visitor. Inquiry dissipated any suspicion of foul play, and
various acts of eccentricity on his part occurred to those who
knew him. An inquest was held, and a verdict of "• Tempo-
rary Insanity" returned. The remains were privately interred
on Monday evening in Castle-gate meeting-yard.—Nntting-
haul Review.

In a case of arson on Thursday, tried at the Tip-
perary Assizes, the following cross-examination took place.
—How many sisters have you? Witness—l'll trouble you.
Sir, to know.--( Laughter.) Well then I'll tell you—you had
five—now will you tell me where they went? Witness—l'll
trouble you, Sir, to know.—( Laughter.) Well then I'll tell
you—four of them were transported ! Witness—Ah, the book
of the County Charges will tell whether or no. Where did
you go yourself? Witness—l'll trouble you, Sir, to know.---
(Laughter.) Didn't you go to England ? Witness—l did.
Was it to be out of the wav of the sheep ? Witness—Jill trou-
ble von, Sir, to know.—(Laughter.) Why did you go to
England ? Witness—My Lord, to do the best I could And
why did yOu come back ? Witness—My Lord, to do the best
1 could.—( Roars of laughter.)

ROBERT BURNS.—I perfectly remember the first
appearance of Burns in my father's iirinting-house, in 1787.
at the time his poems were printing. He was dressed much
in the style of a plain country man, and walked three or four
times from end to end of the composing-room, cracking a long
hunting-whip which he held in his hand, to the no small an-
noyance of the compositors and pressmen ; and, although the
manuscript of his poems was then lyinr, before every compo.
sitor in the house, he never once looked at what they were
doing, nor asked a single question. Ile frequently repeated
this odd practice during the course of printing his work, and
always in the same strange and inattentive manner, to the
great astonishment of the men, who were not accustomed to
such whimsical behaviour.
A DRAMATIC ONINIBUS.—M. Nestor Roque-
plane, - formerly editor of the Figaro, to whom M. Thiers
granted the privilege of erecting a theatre in the Place de IA
Bastilc, has given up the privilege to M. Villeneuve, a dra-
matic author, Joly, editor of a theatrical journal, and Henri de
Tully, one of the proprietors of the Theatre Bobineau. It is
said that these gentlemen intend to conduct both these thea-
tres with the same establishment, and that a dramatic omni-
bus will be engaged for the especial purpose of conveying the
comedians from the Place de la Bastile to the Faubourg. St.
Germain.—French Paper.

MYSTERIOUS MAR R I AGE.—A correspondent
says—" The lady who left her instructor's house on the even-
ing of the sth of larch, was most grossly deceived and im.
posed upon. False names and fictitious signatures wore made
use of to draw her into the snare, and she knew not till at the
altar that he to whom she is irretrievably united was other than
a gentleman of good connections. Then first she heard his real
name, and lost her presence of mind, so as to be unable to stop
thexeremony. She is now made miserable for.life."—Bris.
