SATURDAY.

This morning Iralieriritz;naurice;;; put to the bar, and still
persisting in his plea of Guilty, the trial was proceeded in.
Mr. Qum stated the case for the Jury.
Honors Goold was then swurn.—She identified Fitzmaurice,
and deposed to his share in her abduction. When she cried, he.
swore that unless she held her tongue, he would have her life.
The evidence of this interesting young Lady did not materially
differ from that given on a former trial at Limerick.
Several other witnesses were examined, after which the
Learned Judge charged the Jury, who returned a verdict of
GuiPy against Fitzmaurice and Costello, who immediately re-
caved sentence of death ; but no day was fixed for their execution.

Bow-mat-L.-Yesterday John Gillespie. second mate of the
merchant schooner Ate, now lying in the London-docks, accom-
panied by James Nowlan, the cook, and two others of the crew,
belonging to the same vessel, appeared before Mr. llau.s, the
Sitting Magistrate, and requested him to assist them in (Altair-
ing redress from their Captain, for very gross and unwarrantable
outrages committed upon them while on the coast of Africa.—
The complainants then entered into a narrative of alleged acts
of unprovoked cruelty committed on them, by command of
their Captain, named Webb, soon after their arrival on the coast
of Africa, on a voyage of spreulatiox, which we forbear giving,
as being in the present stage but an ex-parte statement.
Mr. HALLS said their story was a very extraordinary one, and
expressed some doubts about the troth of it.
The complainants declared their readiness to swear to all they
had stated, and one of their shipmates, who had not bees a suf-
ferer, stepped forward and assured the Magistrate it was per-
fectly true.

lIALLs asked what speculation the vessel went upon, as
he strongly suspected that she was intended for the slave trade.
The men said they could not tell exactly what was intended
to be done, but there were no irons on board, nor any other ap-
pearanceof preparations for a human cargo.

The Magistrate said he was glad to hear- them say so, for he
assured them, if it had been as he suspected, they would have
had no redress from him. A complaint of crud treatment
would come with a very ill grace indeed from men engaged its
that diabolical traffic. As it was, however, they might have
their warrant. A warrant was accordingly made out against the
Captain for an assault.
Woasuir-sraiter.—On the 19th instant, the house of W.
Allen, Esq. in Church-street, Stoke Newington, was entered in
the night, by forcing the iron grating of the coal-cellar. Abort
eighteen bottles of wine, part of a roasted leg of lamb, come
cheese, and a number of other articles were stolen. Suspicion
fell on T. Jr.ffs, who had lived in the neighbourhood with his
family many years, and on searching his house, the piece of
lamb, three wine-bottles, and a piece of cheese, were found.—
The servant identified -the bottles and cheese.—The prisoner
made no defence, and was committed.

QIIFEN-SQl!Aßß.—Thirteen men and six women, found by u
party of the Bow-street patrol, sleeping on the benches in St.
James's Park, were brought before the Ilagistrates for examina-
tion. The men described themselves as mechanics out of work,
and, being without money, they took shelter in the Park, consi-
dering there could be no harm in sleeping on the benches for
that night. The Magistrate told them that sleeping in the forth
air brought them under the Vagrant Act, and such as could not
give a satisfactory account of themselves must be sent to the
llouse of Correction forseven di.ys.—Five of the vronien were
next put to the bar. They said they were servants out of place,
and for want of money to procure lodgings, were obliged to sleep
in the Park. They were likewise committed.
CORN EXCHANCR, 51ARK.I.ANR, A L'GeST 28.—The demand for
Ant new

ing's market, which day's prices were fully supported for prime

alteration.
