The following is a brief outline of the Ilaqtsisitoire
against the Constitutionncl and Courier &enrols:
" Democracy (demagogic), vanquished by the wisdom
and virtue of our Kings, has lost all its.culpable hopes.
The French people are enlightened by their misfor-
tunes;
they desire liberty, that is to sir, the reign of
the laws, and not that licentiousness which leads to des-
potism by the road of anarchy. The people confide in
that august and French race which has sworn to our
Institutions, now placed by our King himself under a
celestial guarantee.
Id The enemies of order, compelled to change their
plan of operation, have taken another still more fatal ;
for it goes farther than the destructi m of the Throne,
it leads to the destruction of society, whatever may be
the form of Government. It is Religion which, hi their
dark intrigues, is now become the object of attack—
Religion, that sole refuge of the powerful in the trou-
bles of the. hearts and those catastrophes withisiit liu•
man remedy, from which the diadem itself is not
exempt—Religion, that sublia e means of compensa-
tion for the misery and suff.'rings of the poor:—.lle-
ligion, which for all is the infallible and true source
of individual happiness—Religion, in short, the in-
dispensable substitute for the impotency of the laays.—
And why all these bilious attacks against the Daughter
of Heaven ? Because, without R -ligion, if philosophic
fanaticism bore the sway, everything that exists would
be destroyed ; and in the midst of this immense ruin,
'each ambitious man would seize a portion of the wreck
to make himself a pedestal ; but these men are too skil-
ful to attack it openly—they proceed by secret means.
When their rage betrays them they employ audacity,
but more frequently hypocrisy. Hypocrisy has reached
even their journals. Among these there are two which
are become their favourite instruments—they -are the
Constitutional!' and the Courier, which the undersigned
can no longer delay denouncing to the Court for their
culpable 'tendency to aff.:ct the respect due to the Mi.
gion of the State. It is in the name of Ginn that these
new Apostles blaspheme Goo and holy things. It is
often inprofessing an apparent veneration for the reli.
gion of Jews CHRIST that they attempt to sap it in its
foundations. They generally conceal their intentions,
but thoie intentions may be recognised by their works.
Now, as to their works, behold them ! centernpt directed
against the persons and .things of Religion; pro.
vocation to hatred against Priests in general ; a r.:ge
for propagating against them thoussnds of false accu-
sations, in the midst of which some true ones are pio-
duced. which they take cafe to- resist and poison.—
Such are the perfidious means employed up to the pre-
sent moment by these two Journals to arrive at their
end, which is the destruition of the CatlSilicßeligion,
by substituting for it the Protestant Religion, or rather
the annihilation of all Religfon whAtever. The•lCegri-
sitoire, after proceeding in a similar strain at consider-
-able length against these Journals, says, they have
published the letter of an obscure individual,* who,;
discontented by his own avowal, at the suppression of,
obscene prints, pronounced with the consent of the
interested parties by that authority to which is confided
the superintendance of the public morals, and still more
discontented with a Priest who was bold enough to
ri fuse to give to a Christian child a name of paganism,
congi atnlates himself with having presented his new-
' born child to a Protestant Minister more complaisant,
and with having apostatised • • •
" In spite of their hypocrisy, their designs are exposed
to the light; but as their odious project of undermining
Religion proceeds, it is time that justice should open her
eyes to such furor, for the purpose of restraining it."
[The lardikeire concludes by calling upon the first President to
authorise the summoning of the responsible authors of the two
journals, entitled the Comeihaisuset and the Courier Francais, before
the Court, in solemn audience of two Chambers, there to be in-
formed, that considering the spirit of the said journals, resulting
from the entire of their number., and particularly from a suecession
of articles quoted by the undersigned in a sheet joined with the Ses
guisitare, and that they are of a nature to affect the respect due to
the Religion of the Start, the said journals shall be suspended; that
is to say, the Choutiesseiennel, fur one month ; and she Courier Ento-
mb for three months.

SUMMER ASSIZES.
-.61.--
BRECON GREAT SESSIONS, AUGUST 19.
MURDCR.

Jain Emu was Indicted for the wilful murder of Margaret
Williams, of the parish of Llandulas.
The facts of thl case were given in the STAZ of yesterday; and
were confirmed by the evidence on the trial.
The Counsel for the prisoner made strenuous efforts
to substantiate a flaw in the indictment, from an alleged
inaccuracy in its legal technicalities; but they were
overruled by the Court ; and, after a trial of nine hours,
the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Jut= then pronounced the avrful sentence, that
the prisoner be executed on Monday, at Brecon, and
his body given for dissection.
The unhappy criminal, who appeared to be under
thirty years of age, and is said to be possessed ef con-
siderable property, heard his dreadful doom with less
apparent emotion than many of the auditors.

LANCASTER.
FORGERY.

Edward Costellow was put to the bar, charged with
hating, on the 18th of May, at Manchester, uttered to
John Arnott, a forged 11. note, purporting to be of the
Halifax Bank, and also with having. on the 30th of
May, at Manchester, uttered a like note to Sarah
Sampson, he knowing both notes to be from forged and
counterfeit dies.

Several witnesses were called. and in the course of
the trial, Mr. D. F. Jowu took objections to the manner
in which the depositions were taken by the Manchester
Magistrates. Upon the notes being put in and read in
evidence, and proved to be forgeries, Mr. Jostles ob-
served, that there was a variatton between the note
alleged to be forged, and the copy of it, as set forth in
the indictment. The signature in the copy being T. S
Rawston, and that to the note being S. S. Rawston.
This variation was held te be fatal, and the prisoner was IC-
quitted on that Indictment. Be was
waived upon the second
indictment, and acquitted upon the same grounds.
THOMAS 17. TOBIW, KIST.
Mr. ror.Locic said that this was an action brought

by the widow and admivistratrix .of a seaman, named
Thomas, to recover of the defendant, Sik Joh* Alai%
the sum of 111. whicir she claimed as doe to her late
husband, for wages as a seaman, employed in one of th
defendant's ships, which had been lost at sea, in return•
ing from the coast of Aides. The question which-
would be raised in the action was entirely a question of
law, and as it WAS of a novel nature, and of great ins.-
portance to the shipowners of the port of Liverpool, his
Learned Frieud the Attorney-General bad argued that
the facts of it should be formed into a special case, and
should be submitted to the decision of the Court above.
The facts, he believed, were these t The intestate
Thomas had agreed to serve for monthly wages on
board a ship bound to the coast of Africa, and to return
to Liverpool. lie had per formed the voyage in safety
there, and was returning home, when he died on the
voyage, a few days before the ship was lost. His wages
up to the time of his death amounted to 401. and of this
sum the defendant had paid to the plaintiff 291. odd on
certain monthly notes on account of her husband. She
now broight her action, to maw-the sertnaining ba-
lance 4111. and he now understood that the defence on
which:the other side rested: was, .that a seaman who
was bound to perform a voyage had no right to any
part of his wages unless the vessel has brought home
in safety. He was of opinion that this couli not be law,
and was therefore desirous, along with the defendantito
procure the opinion of the Court regarding it.
Mr. &ARUM' said, that the point which his Learned
Friend wished to raise, had long since been decided,
and that he for one felt no doubt whit-ever regarding
it. • The articles into which this seaman had entered.
were to serve-for monthly wages on board a ship bound
for the coast of Africa, and to return to Liverpool; and
it was stipulated that he should not demand or be en-
titled to his wages, or any part thereof, tiairthe arrival
of the ship and the delivery of the cargo at the port of
Liverpool. He had no objection, however, that the
facts should be put into a special case, in order that the
decision of the Judges on it might be known among
those most interested in it in the port of Liverpool. He
thought that it was quite clear by the rtnnmon law,
that if seamen were engaged in a ship which c..r.ied
freight, therwereentitled, if she were lost at sea, to re-
ceive their wages pro rata; but that where there was no
freight, they were not entitled to any until the ship ar-
rived at the end of her voyage in safety. In this case
there was an express stipulation about wages; they were
not due till the arrival of the ship at Liverpool; and it
was only out of courtesy to the seamen that any money
was paid to their wives on alieir monthly nose.
Mr. PoLa.csec said chat he had not looked deeply into
the subject ; but he believed theiease was not quite so
clear as his Learned Friend represented. He wished the
facts to be made into a case, and assured Mr. Scarlett,
ithat unless he sincerely believed the point to be tenable,
he wouldineither put himself nor his Learned Friend
to the trouble of arguing it in the Court above.
A, verdict was the,t taken for the plaintiff, liable to the
opinion of the Court on a special case.
• CORK.

William Fraser, Thomas Comm, and James Ihnlens,
were capitally indicted for abusing the person of Judith
Farisy, on Sunday, the Sd April last, at Mallow.
The prosecutrix in the case was an ill-lcoking beg-
gar woman. She appeared on the table tv'thcut shoes
or stockings, and had little to cover her nakedness, ex-
cept an old patched blue cloak. She deposed as fol.
lows:—I go about begging for my two children. I
recollect Sunday, the. 3d of April, right wells I have
good reason. I went to Mr. Carter's house with my
children, and grit an alms of potatoes. As I was going
away, the butler, Bill Frazer, called me back.--(She was
here desired to point out the prisoners, but, afterlooking
about for several minutes, although she was close to
them, she declared she could not see them). After I
went to Mallow, I told a woman of the name of Ryan,
with whom I lod;ed. I laid information against them.
I kww them. they came to me with three pounds cf
bribe-money. I g( t a pound and six pennies, but I
gave it up again.
Janes.—Do you mean to prosecute ? If yes do, tuts about
again, and see if yon can identify the prisoners.
witness turned round and immediately rimed oat /lamas
and Frazer. She could not identify Conway.
Witness.—When Bill Frazer called me back he told
me there were some potatoes for mein the stable. The
house was about the length of the hall from the stable.
I hae one child in my arms and the other was walking,
—I put the child down, and be told me to go into the
stable. When I was going in he pushed me in. Bill
Frazer first then the two other men came in. .1
screeched and roared inside, and my eldest child heard
me, and was roaring and screeching outside. Then he
ill-used me. Then the other young man put his knee
on my chest. Then the third carne up (Jemmy Hanlan)
and I was not able to stir. I called for mercy, by the
blessing of GOD, and he told me there was no mercy for
me. He ill-used me, and then they let me go. They
were all near relations, and servants to Mr. Carter, at
the great house. I was not able to handle my young
child, I was so weak. I was hungry, for I had nothing
to eat. I went to them, and the gardener told me not
to discover, and lie would be my friend when I came
to the great house. I told him I would discover, and
he turned as pale as the candle—as pale as my Cap.—
Then Conway came up and gave me three fists on the
side of my cheek, and knocked blazes out of my eyes.
Cross-examined by Mr. OTONNiLL —Have had two
children by a single boy, but he was under an oath to
marry me. Before the Magistrate, I said that I was
married by. Father Hallahan seven years before. though
Father Hallaltan had been dead 17 years. He would
have married me had he lived so long—(Laeghter).
By the JUDOD—There were no lights in the stable,
and they covered my head over with hay. They took
hay, and laid it on my chest, and on my breast, and on
my bead, and smothered me up in it. I don't know
how I could see which ill-used me first. I offered to
swear to a butcher before the Magistrates.
There being no evidence against Conway, the Judge directed
the Jary to April him.
Conway was then examined for the prisoners.—.He
said that Frazer took the woman into the stable, and
that he and.Hanlin went to remonstrate with him for
doing such things on a Sunday, and on his master's
. premises. This witness rather equivocated in his evidence.
