At the sitting of the Court of ;Assizes, yesterday,
a ruffian, named Lemaire, 40 years of age, was arraigned,
for brutal treatment of his father, who has attained his

77th year. On being interrogated by the President, he
admitted that, in early life, his father was obliged to shut
him up in the prison of Ste. Pelagic for his misconduct ;
that he became a soldier at 20, and
_during the ten years
he was in the army, passed five of them in irons for in-
subordination ; and that since his discharge he had been
twice condemned to imprisonment for acts of violence—
once against his own wife ; but denied the assault upon
his father, for which he was then under trial. The poor
ascalliedthe lil,6athndNovweeempibnet gave his evidence.

entered his house in a state of intoxication, and demanded
money in the most threatening terms, and, on receiving
a refusal, seized him by the throat, and would have
strangled him, but for the interference of his wife, the
mother of the prisoner, and some neighbours called in to
her assistance. The mother confirmed the evidence of
her husband, stating that he remained several hours
senseless from the injuries he had received. The testi-

molly of the two old people was corroborated by other
to close confinement, for seven years.—French Paper.

FIVE DAYS LATER. FROM THE
UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
By the arrival of the New York packet-ship
Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, we are in possession
of dates to the 9th from that City. The Patrick Henry
has brought nine cabin passenger, and has made the
passage in 18 days.
The principal news by thistrrrival consists of another
arrest similar to that of M`Leod, arising out of tho
Caroline affair, and which it was feared would be
productive of unpleasant feelings and, perhaps, trouble
between the States and this country. Mr. Hogan,
the individual arrested, is said to be a native of Ire-
land; he openly acknowledges his share in the burn-
ing of the Caroline, and confidently throws himself on
the protection of the British Government.
ANOTHER APLEOD.
On Monday night, Feb. 28th, a young man by the
name of Hogan, was arrested about eight miles from
Lockport, and brought to that place, charged with being
one of the party who attacked the steamer Caroline.
The evidence against him is said to be that he disclosed
to Dr. M`lienzie, of Lockport, in 1838, that he was one
of the party, and that having occasion to come to Ro-
chester, he wrote to the Doctor inquiring whether theie
would be any danger in his doing so, and asking for a
brace of pistols. Hogan is a resident of Hamilton,
Upper Canada, and had been to Rochester to attend
Court. He was lodged in gaol for one night, and the
next day taken by writ of Habeas Corpus before Judge
Ransom of the Common Pleas Court, upon the plea that
there was sufficient evidence to warrant his detention.
What the result of the hearing was we shall probably
know to-morrow.

(From the Rochester Post.)
in addition, we have been permitted to peruse a pri-
vate letter to a Canadian exile in this city, of the same
date, from which the following is an extract :
" John Sheridan Hogan, one of the Caroline invaders,
about whom there can be no mistake, has been arrested,
and will doubtless be committed to take his trial for the
part he took in the Schlosser murders. I am told he is
clerk to the Sheriff of the Gore district, who was Mac-
Nab's Lieutenant-colonel, opposite Navy Island, arid that
he was formerly in M'Nab's law office, and acted as his
secretary while at Chippewa, in 1838. lie is a good-
looking, bold, manly little fellow—Tory and game to the
back-bone !"
This will revive the whole question involved in the ce-
lebrated APLeod case. A more important movement has
not taken place for some time. Hogan is one who, we
are told, freely admits his connexion with the Caroline
outrage, and throws himself on the protection of the Bri-
tish Government.
We learn that Mr. Hogan is a native of Ireland—that
he was recently in this city, and stopped several days at
the National Hotel, where he expressed some fears lest
he should be arrested and detainclti.-and that his com-
panion was Mr. John William Aikman, a son of Michael
Aikman, a Tory member of the late U. C. Parliament.
The Hon. Henry Clay has resigned his seat in the -
Senate, and is spoken of by many parties as likely to
become a candidate for President of the States. The
following is his letter of resignation, which was read
in the Kentucky House of Representatives on the
23d. ult. :
" To the Honourable the General Assembly of Kentucky.
" Washington, Senate Chamber, Feb. 16, 1142.
" When I last had the honour of an appointment as
one of the United States Senators from Kentucky, I in-
timated, in my letter of acceptance, the probability of
my not serving out the whole term of six years. In con-
sequence of there having been two extra sessions of
Congress I have already attended, since that appoint-
ment as many sessions of Congress as ordinarily happen
during a senatorial term, without estimating my ser ices
for the present, session.
" I have for several years desired to retire into pri-
vate life, but have been hitherto prevented from execut-
ing my wish by considerations of public duty I should
have resigned my seat in the Senate, at the commence-
ment of the present session, but for several reasons, one
of which was that the General Assembly did not meet
until near a month after Con•-ress, during which time
the State would not have been fully represented, or my
successor would have had only the uncertain title of an
Executive appointment.
" The time has now arrived when, I think, that, with-
out any just reproach, I may quit the public service, and
bestow some attention on my private affairs, which have
suffered much by the occupation of the largest part of
my life in the public councils. If the Roman veteran
lid title to a discharge after thirty years service, I, who
have served a much longer period, may justly claim
urine.

" I beg leave, therefore, to tender to the General As-
sembly, and do now hereby tender, my resignation of
the office which I hold of Senator, in the Senate of the
United States, from the State of Kentucky, to take et-
fect on the 31st day of March, 1842 ; and I request that
the General Assembly will appoint. my successor to take
his seat on that day. I have fixed that day to allow me
an opportunity of assisting in the completion of some
meacures which have been originated by me.
" I embrace this occasion to offer to the General As-
sembly my most profound and grateful acknowledgment
fur the numerous and distinguished proofs, by which I
have been honoured, of its warm attachments and ge-
nerous confidence during a long series of years.--I have
the honour to be, &c- " H. CLAY."
