PROM TUE CONK REPORTRR.

While the Jury were is consultation, Keeffe did not
betray the least symptom of apprehension. He main.
tained the same composure he had evinced during the
entire day, and almost the same position—his head lean-
ing on his arms, which rested on an iron brace that pro-
jected beyond the dock. The other prisoner, Boutkto
seemed greatly agitated. •
When the Jury came out an intense interest wai pei-
ceptible in the countenance probai•ly of every one in the'
Court, but-Keeffess—he merely stood-up, and when the
Foreman pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty for both
prisoners, he very respectfully made an inclination of
his head in acknowledgment. A bun of approlcatitin
ran through the Court, and Keeffe, still retaining his
position, beggetal leave to address a few words to his
Lordship, to which request the L?arned Judge very
graciously assented, Keeffe then spoke in the follow-
ing words:
My Lord! in the pretence of the KINa of Enke, the LORD of
Loans, and• the Jowls of James, I acknowledge that lam as
innocent of the charge made upon me this day, as the child unborn.
its well might they have arraigned your Lordship, or the Bishop of
Cork at this bar as nee; and I declare, in the presence of Goa, that
I would search out and punish the perpetrators of that horrid
murder, as soon as any Gentleman in the country I
Baron Pammarnte..." Well, I am glad. indeed, thatilei say
so. Diseharp those men."
Keefe thee bowed most respectfully to the Court, and to the
galleries ; many Gentlemen to different parts of the Court
ra-
turned the salutation. _ _ .

On the verd'ct being pronounced, the busies out-
side of the friends of the late prisoners were tremendous.
The police endavoured to keep off the crowd, bet all
was in vain; the country people broke through the
guard, and embraced the prisoners in the most affect-
ing manner. While this was occurring in one part of
the court-yard, in another direction some r f the female
relations were in hysterics. Keeffe was. followed down
the parade by a great crowd, cheering him as he went
along, until at length he was obliged to run into an
apothecary's shop on the Parade, for medical assistance.

The Diapers, Haberdashers, dm. of Canterbury, have
come to toe determination of {hutting their shops in
fjture, at eight o'clock in the evening, from the Ist of
September till ti,e Ist of April, and for the summer
months at nine in the evening.
The mountain streams were much swollen with the
heavy rain on Saturday and Sunday se'nnight, and in
Strathairn and Strathdearn, did considerable damage.
The river Nairn rose to a greater height than at any
time since the year 178c2; some old people say that the
flood on Sunday last was four feet higher than on that
occasion. The waulk mills at Fairlie were under water,
and a kiln at Cantray was thrown down by the current ;
when the flood subsided, the low grounds in some places
Ist ere covered with potatoes, and other articles tarried
down from the heights. The river Fearne, which runs
' into the Nairn, broke down the embankment made last
year, changing its channel, and rushing over the farm
of Milton, on the property if Farr, swept away the
newly cut bay, and destroyed the potatoe crop ; a part'
of the garden wall was carried away; the 'arable land
of Coulbuie was also covered with water ; a girl passing
from Milton to Coulbuie was surrounded by the water,
and the island on which she stood was decreasing in size,
when, after being three hours in this perilous situation,
she was extricated by some fox hunters. A burn near
Moyhall carried away the bridge over it, and flooded
the highland road so as to render it impassable; the Ca-
ledonian coach was in consequence compelled to return
to town on Monday morning; but a temporary bridge
having been erected, the coach proceeded to Perth the
following day.—heverneat Jawed.
A calculation has been formed, from which it would
appear, that were the inhabitants of the world divided
into SO parts, 19 of them would be found to be still
Pagans, six Jews and Mahometans, and five Christians
of all denominations.

Bow-street, and other public offices, two charges for Giftless ea

cuursc of the present week. The accused, in the ease, beg

man before the Magistrate, no part of which the wretch could la.

out; that the'fellow was immediately committed for trial.
Yesterday a man, tespectable in his appearance, who detletibga.

with an attack of a similar nature upon Edward Johnestil an ap-

there. Here he was assailed in an indecent manner by a fellow
'standing near him, and he in consequence retired from the whiskies
to watch the maw's proceedings, and observing that he and the }ti.

he was fortunate enough to meet Putter, the beadle, and on their rs -
turn together-to the Broadway, the boy pointed on: the prisoner
coining away from the window. At the suggestion of the olTiea,tie
boy again took his stand at the window, when the primate rem.
silencing his Indecent conduct towards him, Porter kr,
mediately took Mat into custody. Another lad, whom ha
Should be• able to produce, had been similarly attacked by dal
very man on the same evening. Several persons had been eintilaril
assaulted; but fearful, of having their names connected in any man-
ner with such disgusting transactions, had declined taking any
notice publicly, but manuscripts had been frequently posted:genet
the watch-house opposite, to draw the attention of the officers; the
crowd, however, was always so great about the window, that
although the persons of several of these wretches were well knowa,
the officers had not been able to detect them in any act. The pri-
soner allowed he might have touched the 'any, but he protested
with ho wicked intention, and was remanded, that the other wit-
nesses against hiht might attend. Potter subsequently stated
privately, that he had himself, a short time since, seized one of
these fellows at Fairburn's wiadow. but the country Gentleman,
towards whom be had misconductedhimself, pressed so earuestly
to be spared the unpleasant task of :appearing In such a east, ttfat
he was compelled to let the fellow go, with a warning sweet to he
seen in the Broadway again ; and it was only so lately as Sunday
evening last, that another of these wretches, in the dress of a Gen-
tleman, was detected by a man who was passing, with a boy, is
Chatham-place' in a situation that admitted of no doubt. The
passenger, in his indignation, immediately knocked the fellow down,
and contenting himself with that summary punishment, suffered
him to make his escape.

him on %Nedoeiday night, in a gandding-hoose in Leicester-street.
Probert, who is a journeyman gen-make:, and bad at one time beet
in good business in thatline for himself, was playing at hazarJ with
the prisoner, and betting one shilling each time. On one occasion
'he saw him act unfairly, and on kiting him so, Fulham struck him
wren blew in the face.

them to leave t such illegal practices before they brought them to

expressed his determination to prosecute, and Fulham was held
to ball.

street, was charged with robbing her inistress of a quantity of
clothes, to the amount of £3. NYhen about to leave her situation,
-on Wednesday evening, bee master wished to examine her trunk;

When brought before the Magistrate she seemed in the utmost
distress, and on being informed that she was committed for trial,

Mr. Giurririt ordered the attendance of the Inspector of the
Poor of Mary-le-Bonne Parish, for having refused to relieve the
two children of a poor woman, because she would not go into the
workhouse, -wishing to earn her bread, and only demanding 45. a
week from the parish for the children. The Inspector said it was
the general usage, and could not be departed from. Mr, Grat►
stir' it was against the law, and must be departed from; it was ton
monstrous a thing to say, unless you go into the workhouse. you
shall not have any relief, and may starve. The Parish Oilicers
were ordered to attend on Saturday, to argue this important point
