BERRIES V. SMITH.

This was an action by the natural daughter of
Arthur Cooke, deceased, against his administrator,
to recover thirty pounds, as three years' wages for
her services to her father.

The defendant contended, that during the lifetime
of her father the plaintiff had received the profits
from a mangle in lieu of wage,:, and that the mangle
itself had been given to her at the death of her fa-
ther, as a set-off against any further claim.—Verdict
for the defendant.

THE O'CONNELL FUND.--The detail of the
Thursday acknowledgments, exhibits a great augmentation
of receipts. The " Rent" itself, in its best times, encreased
not with the rapidity of this truly national fund. We are
now certain that it will far exceed the amount originally
anticipated.—Dublin Morning Register.

ATIILONE.—Our correspondent informs us,
that a murder was attempted in this quarter during the
late Orange merry-making. Aim was deliberately taken at
an unoffending Catholic, and a bullet sent through his hat.
It has been ascertained that the powder used on the occa-
sion, and consumed during the greater part of the sports,
was abstracted, somehow or other, from the Ordnance
Stores. It was with great difficulty that a certain Magis-
trate took informations at all against the assassin and his
accomplices, but we are told, that though the informations
were taken, the accused parties have been suffered to re-
main at large on bail.—Dublin Morning Register.

UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGI-I.—Monday
the Senatus Academicus of the University of Edinburgh
conferred the Degree of Doctor of Medicine on ninety-nine
gentlemen, after having gone through the appointed ex-
atninations, and publicly defended their inaugural disserta-
tions. Of these gentlemen, twenty-six were natives of
Scotland, thirty-two were from England, thirty-two from
Ireland, one from Portugal, one from Russia, one from
Malta, one from Canada, one from Bermuda, three from
Jamaica, and one from the East Indies.

HERRING FISHING.--The town of Wick
is beginning to assume'its usual appearance of bustle during
the herring fishing. Last night a number of boats were to
put out to sea, and next week the fishing will be general.
to which we formerly adverted turned
and several barrels, we uuderstand, have

tloyifinfitthe fish. The Burghead boats commenced on
eas
and Friday ; the first night a few scores of her-
Thursday
rings were taken but none the second. The Lossiemouth
boats caught from one to four cranes per boat on Friday.
At Portmaholmack, the boats have also been out, but
as yet without much succees. Confident hopes, however,
are entertained of a good fishing this season, as great bodies
of herrings have been lately seen in the Firth, and the few
that have been caught a..e in prime condition•—.. invcrnes,

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

There being only two cases for trial, the Court
did not sit this morning till eleven o'clock, when
the following prisoners were discharged by procla-
mation, the Grand Jury having ignored the bills
preferred against them :
Ann Watts, Wm. Stretch, Mary Brown, Wm.
Tent, Catharine Ellison, Johanna Ellison, Jeremiah
Key, John Berwick, Patrick Mullins, Jackson Do-
navan, Francis link, Jos. Rayner, Roger Henley,
Eliza Cox, John Burton, Wm. Styles, Joseph
Hurst, Mary Styles, and Ann Holloway.
Maria Nay was indicted" for feloniously inter-
marrying with Samuel Harris, her former husband,
William Nay, being then living.
Samuel Harris staled that he was a butcher,
living in Spafields. He married the prisoner eleven
years since, at St. Luke's church, Old-street, and
lived with her until aboutleftio
itrz
for several
monthss d
she got drunk, and incea,pw; ihellte
afterwards refused to live with her, having ascer-
tained that at the time he was mantled her former
husband was living. She described herself as a
single woman.

John Kirby—Knew the prisoner's first husband.
Was present at his marriage, twenty years since, at
Stepney Church. Had not seen him for more than
twelve years. Witness did not know whether he
was dead or living.
The RECORDER told the Jury that they must ac-
quit the prisoner, there being no proof that her first
husband was living at the time of her second mar-
riage.—Verdict, Not Guilty.
Lorenzo Pardo (a Spanish refugee) was indicted
for stealing a coat, value 31., the property of M.
Francis Clarke.

The prisoner was seen to take the coat out of the
house; he was followed, and taken into custody
with the stolen property in his possession.
When called on for his defence, he said, (through
the medium of an interpreter) that he was in the
greatest possible distress, not having a farthing in
the world, and a stranger in a foreign country. On
the day in question he went into a public house to
solicit charity, in which there were several people
who gave him something to drink. When he was
about to leave, one of them told him to go to the
prosecutor's house and fetch the coat, which he did,
under the supposition that this person was the
master of the house.

RECORDER—I think the Jury cannot give much
credit to such a statement.

The prisoner then called Mr. Emanuel Mer-
cury who stated that he had known the un-
fortunate person at the bar for six or seven
months; that he was the most charitable man he
ever met with ; he had known him on several occa-
sions, when he met a distressed object, give him
every farthing he had in his pocket, although at the
time he was himself unable to get sufficient food, his
only income being six or seven shillings a week, al-
layed by the " Spanish Refugee society," He had
some property in Spain, but when he was driven
from that country, it was confiscated. The perse-
cution he had met with at times so completely over-
powered him, that. he was quite insensible of what
he was doing.--Verdiet, Guilty.
The RECORDER said, under the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, the sentence of the Court was
that he be imprisoned one month.

NEW RUSSIAN EXPEDITION.—Baron Hum-
ROLM', after a short stay at St. Petersburgh, left that city
towards the end of May, to proceed to the Ural moun-
tains. There is every reason to expect from him, if not
a number of new observations, at least a series of experi-
ments and notices muck more exact than those made by
his predecessors, with the exception, perhaps, of Messrs.
usTEN and ERMAN, of Stockholm and Berlin, whose
objects were much more limited. What will give much
interest to his journey is the comparison which will pro-
bably be instituted between the steppes of Asia and Africa ;
for M. HUMBOLDT is accompanied by professor EHRZW.
BERG, as zoologist and botanist, who made so interesting a
journey through, the Libyan deserts; to Dongolah, Mount
Sinai, and Mount Lebanon, and who alone will be thus
enabled to give a correct comparative table of the pheno=
mena presented by analogous countries in these two parts
of the world.-- Literary Gazette.
