ASSIZE IN TELLIG EN Wic-I
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. it
(Lk fore Mr. Baron MARTIN.)
SENTENCES ON THE LEEDS RIOTERS.
William Higgins and James Cratty, who yesterday,
after tht it case bad been partly heard, pleaded guilty to
the charge of manslaughter, were sentenced to be trans-
ported for ten years. Edward Hogan. John Haley,
Michael Cantwell, William Fallon, John Connor, and
Mary Rooke, who pleaded guilty to a Asti, were sen-
tenced, the first four to be imprisoned and kept at hail
labour two years, Connor 18 months, and Rooke one year.
His LORDSHIP remarked, in reply to Connor's mother,
who said her son bad always conducted himself
well, and therefore she hoped he would be
mercifully dealt with, that it was a most un-
fortunate I circumstance people do not consider
the consequences to themselves and their friends when
they commit these crimes. It appeared these parties
were all Irish, who had settled at Leeds, and who had
had the inestimable blessing of living comfortably by
industry in this country, if they would but have made
use of that opportunity. Instead of being grateful for
that opportunity, they had formed a clan or party, and
had conducted themselves in a manner which could not
for one moment be tolerated; if it were tolerated, then
the peaceable and industrious character of this country
would be at once destroyed. When an arrangement was
proposed to be come to yesterday, as to the degree of
guilt which should ba admitted, he felt it his duty to
interpose, as he could not be a party to any arrangement
which should preclude him fr‘m inflicting that punish-
ment which so serious an offence as this deserved. Un-
der all the circumstances of the case (which his Lord-
ship in brief enumerated) he felt it his duty to pass the
sentences above stated.

GOOD SPORT.—The covers of Rosebaugh were
shot over on the 12th and 13th, by a few friends of Sir J. J.
R. Mackenzie, Bart. The show of game exceeded that of
last year, and the bag numbered 332 head of game, consist-
ing of pheasants, hares, and woodcocks. In absence of Sir
James Mackenzie, the party was headed by Sir Evan Mac-
kenzie, and the beating of the covers was conducted by Mr.
Stubbs, gamekeeper. Mr. Fowler, of Raddery, had seve-
ral days' first-rate partridge shooting on the estate of Rose-
haugh. And in the course of four hours, in the end of last
week, Sir Evan Mackenzie, Bart., and three other sportsraen,
shot at Belmaduthy, 98 head of game ; there were in the bag
33 pheasants, theremainder hares and partridges.—lnverness
Courier.

SERIOUS ROBBERY AND PARTIAL RECOVERY OF
TEE STOLEN PROPERTY.—A serious robbery was committed
yesterday week, in open day, at the house of Mr. G. Davies,
grocer, Bangor. It appears that on Friday afternoon, be-
tween the hours of one and five o'clock, some one entered
the house adjoining Mr. Davies's shop, and took away a tin
cash box, containing notes, gold, and silver, to the amount
of about 401., with a cheque on Messrs. Williams and Co.'s
Bank for 301., besides several memoranda. Immediately
upon the discovery a strict inquiry was instituted, but unfor-
tunately without success ; and on the following day
(Saturday) placards were issued, offering a reward of 20/,
for the recovery of the property and conviction of the
offender. This had doubtless a good effect, for on
Sunday morning early the box and its contents, with
the exception of the money, was found in the Bishop's park,
under Penrallt, by his Lordship's gardener. Nothing ham,
however, been heard as to ;the whereabouts of the offender,
notwithstanding the police have made every exertion. As
to the person committing the robbery, there can be no doubt
that whoever be may be, it is some one well acquainted with
the premises, and must for some time have watched the
movements of the occupants before his object could be ac-
complished. We hope, however, that before long the offender
will be apprehended and brought to justice, as robberies are
becoming much more frequent during the winter season of
the year, and there seems no probability of their diminution
with our present limited police force.—NorthWales,Cltroniele.
IlayLs.—During the late gales which commenced
here on tbe 14th inst., and continued without intermission
until the 18th, varying from the S.VV. to N.W., accompa-
nied with loud thunder, and vivid lightning, showers of rain,
and severe hail storms, no damage has been done to the
shipping in this harbour, teither has there been.any wreck in
the bay, or the fragments of any washed on shore; so it may
be conjectured that, fortunately, all vessels that were going
up or down channel have passed uninjured. But not so
with some of the inhabitants here. One farmer in this
neighbourhood had a mow of corn wholly blown out of the
mowhay, and others injured, and other damage done on the
premises, amounting to upwards of 10/. On Monday night
last some of the windows of the St. John's Chapel of Ease
were literally smashed by the hail storms, and nearly 50
panes of glass were broken. A house which is situated not
tar cff had 16 panes broken, and several others met with ac-
cidents.— Cornwall Gazette.

ROYAL NAVAL Scnotm, NEw-CltOSS.—The half-
pearly distribution of prizes took place yesterday, at half-
past twelve o'clock, Rear-Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., presi-
dent, in the chair. The prizes were distributed in the new
school-room, built at Midsummer last,

cious room on the ground floor, extending across the first
quadrangle of the building. Its dimensions

the ventilation is admirably provided for. The flooring is of
wood pavement, and, with the exception of a double row of
desks around the room, and the requisite seats for the
masters, the whole area is open. This fine room was deco-
rated with a profusion of flags, tastefully arranged, kindly
lent by Messrs. Somes, the eminent shipbuilders, who are
liberal supporters of the school, and by Lieutenant Sanders,
of the Seamen's Hospital Ship. The room has two chan-
deliers, illuminated by the Bude light. The president, in
opening the proceedings, referred to the circumstance of s
late pupil, the Rev. G. Birch, having just gained the
Seatonian Prize, at Cambridge, for the best. English poem on
a sacred subject; and to another of. the former pupils, Mr.
G. Sturtou IVard, having taken first-class mathematical
honours at Oxford. The secretary (Mr. A. Eames) then
read the report of the Rev. Dr. Chambers, the head-master,
awarding prizes for history, geography, mathematics, and
French ; classics being reported upon, with all other branches
of education, by regularly•appointed examiners at Midsum-
mer. Prizes were then given to the following students:—
T. S. Burton (the vellum medallion certificate, for distin-
guished attainments and exemplary conduct), Woollnough,
tier, Stephens, sen., Morris, Dawkins, oyse, Seaton,
Parker, jun., Stephens, jun., Watts, sen., Drury, sen., Sconce,
and Stewart. The following were honourably mentioned :
Hudson, sen„ Gardiner, sen., Pitman, Whish, Robinson, D.,
Nixon, Scott, La Grand, Colborne, King, R., Sims, Pernbere
ton, Sutton, Man, Archer, Mitchell, sen., Bedford, Jay,
Tupman, sen., Boys, Sterling, Poore, Campbell, Bunbury,
Cornwall 2d, Tupman 2d, Blount, Blois, Gray, Clay, Coffin,
M,llarJy, Brown, sen., and Thompson. The president
havinp, enjoined the pupils to return punctually after the
holy days, the company, which consisted of upwards of
, 100 ladies and gentlemen, most of the latter being naval
officers. dispersed, after several hearty rounds of cheering
from the scholars, whose healthful appearance excited ge.
neral remark.
