that thee master, who appeared to be a man. of violet
passions, -caught them, and flogged usem for thi•
offence severely ; that one of them received sixteen
stripes in the usual manner, and six blows with a stick
on the head, which continued cut and bruised when
the school was visited by the Commissioner. The
other boy bad eloped in consequence of the beating:-
The boys. stated that 46 the. usher beats the boys oft enest,
but the Mailer—the mest seVeiely ; the usher for-olreocei
in the school-room, the master for other offences."
On visiting the Charter School at Longford, we found
the children looking squalid and wretched ; they com-
plained of a short allowance of .meat on the days on
which meat was allowed, but said they had plenty of
potatoes. The master, about a year previous, had been
insane, but had latterly sunk into a state ot- hopeless
fatuiryond had been for several months inthat condition.
In the School at Lintown Factory, we found, outoof.
twenty-One youths present, only thirteen who could rand.
fihere were only six copy-booka for the %%hole school..
The master did not teach, and there was no usher. •
In the School at Newport, which, in 1819, was con-
verted into a day school, we found s:ily twelve children
(three or four of whom were of the master's own
family); and a large pile of unused books.. There was
also another day school, at the distance of about two,
miles, held,in astable, which a youpg Man had taken
for, the summer season. -This Was sas• crowded with
children, that the.youngest were placed in thenunher,
there being no room for them on the floor. .:
At the Charter School at Clonmel, which also • is a
day school, we found only two children, and no book,
except a few fragments of Testaments. The master is
A cripple from rheumatism ; he receives 501. a year,
and has a house rant free; he.a'so rents twenty-four
acres of land from the -Socia ty, at an acre.
At Clonmel, in 1817, tfie buys,appeare4 to have ben
punished with great severity by the usher, who eked on
all OCCaSiO:iS a common.horsea hip. It is stated that he
olt:n gave four dozen lashes with his inmost strength,
and that t!.e boys have been'betuen till the blood ran
down upon tie flags. A boy was once knocked down
by the usher, and kicked so severely, that two of his ribs
were b•oken, and the ear of another buy was nearly
pulled off.
At New Ross the same severe mode of punishment is
stated still to exist; two boys have been pttnished for
complaining, one of them with peculiar cruelty. The
boys appear to have been employed to carry dung in
hand-barrows, and to have been kept at work at unusual
hours, and to have been left without due huttuction.
Many boys eloped from this school during the time
the witness Thomas Moyle was there, he thinks nearly
fifty in nine years, ending 1822, and he states that the
boys were in constant fear and alarm.
The (ate of the apprentices from the Charter School
at Custlemartyr was a suliject of regret at the visitation
of Mr. Thackeray in 1817, and of Mr. Lee in 1820, as,
will be seen in the Reports of those Gentlemen. Their'
present condition is thus described by the Rev. George'
Smith, the Catechist, in his return to our Board, dated'
August the 51st, 1824. 66 The Charter Schaal in this
parish has long laboured under the most formidable and
discouraging circumstanees. Young persons have been
completely educated from 'time to time ;. but for want
of adequate stations, npin enticeshipi," or employment,
hive been frond, on their removal from schoo', wane.

Ye.,terday morning,-a few mantes past eight o'clock,
..iantis Stevenson, who *As convicted at our last Circuit.
of rObbit.g Avid cruelly *maltreating Ishii Brown, paid
the forfeit of his life.to the' cffended taws of his coun-
try, in front of the Court-house.
It will be in the recollerti in of our readers. that
Stevenson, along with- two:others, attacked Mr. Brown,
on the Cathcart Road, nt-ar Ciosshill, one night in
Sanuary last, and there fell-d him to the ground,
ard beat and-cut him so severely, that his life was
despaired of, and afterwards robbed him of OA some
1 silver, and two watches.
Ever since his condemnation, he has evinced the
greatest coolness, and on every occasion seemed per-
fectly calm and composed ; even when his relations
visited him, he was invariably of the same coal dispo-
sitiiin, and "hen asked any question, he generally
-shade no reply; but, if he. did, it was at the most,
either yes or no, and accompanied with a smile.—The
Magistrates entered the Hall a few minutes past eight
o'clock, when the culprit was brought up. He was
accompanied by a brother, one or two relations, aid
the Rev. Di. Dewar. After stepping in the Hall for
about a minute, Dr. Dewar intimated that he was
ready. He then ascended the platform, when the Rev.
Gentleman offered up a prayer, which being concluded,
he shook hands with him and gave a smile, which he'
used to do on every occasion, and thanked the- Rev.'
Gentleman for his attention. His brother next teak
farewell, and then his relatives, one of whom .he
kissed ; he did *this without the least symptoms of
'agitation, and apparently not aware of she awful trail.,
%Won from life to eternity. The rope being adjusted
about his neck, he uttered a few words of prayer, gay
the signal, the drop fell, and after a. few• convulsive
struggles, he ceased to exists • , . •• •
!The unfortunate iiiiiiwas only twenty-one years-of
age, rather stout in his person, round faced,*and upon
the. whole a- good looking person. He was by trade a
shoemaker, but latterly wrought as an assistant in rais-
ing sand from the Clyde.. He-wasbom atMuirhouses,
a village nen this city, and not very far distant from
the place where he-committed the deed. • Independent
of this robbery, he was-concerned in .robbing the shop
of Mr. blosely, jeweller, King-street, of watches, rings;
gold seals, kn. It was by the evidence of• an sitcom•
place of the name of Brown; who came and gave.infor.
oration that-hebad been concerned along with &new!
son in robbing Mosely's shop, upon which he wart ap-
prehended and indicted—first, for the robbery of Brown,
and secondly fur Mosely's shop; but although Brown
gave information of the second robbery, yet he was not
concerned in the-first ; however, he gave information
that Stevenson himself had previously told him of the
robbery of John Brown, upon which evidence, corm-1
borated by ethers, Stevenson.urns convicted. In con-
sequence of the execution-being so early in she morn-
ing, and a heavy shower falling at the time, the crowd
was unusually small—indeed it was over before a great
proportion of the inhabitants were aware of ir. •

It will be recollected that some time ergo a foreivier' named
Yensura, was committed from this Mace upon a charge ofbipay,
for having intermarried with a Mrs. Bartle, his hat wife, Lady
Cockburn, being still living. At the trial Sir James Cockburn was
produced on the part of Mr. Vi:snura' and proved that Lady Cock-'
barn was his lawful wife at the tine sitentarrled Mr. Ventura, and
consequently that tlt it marriage was null, and 3lrs:l3artlet being of
course the lawful wife of Mr. Ventura, the latter was acquitted.
Yesterday, Sir James Cockburn was brought before the Magistrate,
charged by the Overseers and Churchwarden& of the pari.b of St.
George's Hanover-square, with leaving 'his wife, the aboventen-
timed Lady Cockburn, chargeable to that parish.. When the case
was called un, Sir James Cockburn said that the parish otSt. Georges
at all, events, could have no claim upon bins, for he did nut reside
in that parish.
Mr. Itoa, the Magistrate, inquired what parish he did belong to?
Sir James said, not to any parish in this country ; the perish. to
which be belonged was in Scotland; at preset:, he was naerely
lodging in ltathbone-place. Hi would wish, however, in the ab-
sence of his Solicitor, to have the case adjourned until his Solicitor •
could attend. *
Mr. Roliebil be bad DO objection, and die case was accordingly
adjourned. . .

WOLVES or Rossts.—The following is the nfficiat
account of the 'devastations. committed by the .wolves

The Rev. C. Mummery (the Clergyman charged with
felony) arrived at Sh,elds on Wednesday. We under-
stand he has so far recovered.his health and spirits, as
to be able to amuse himself on his passage by playing
on the flute.—Newcastle Chronicle.
At Ludgvan, on Tuesday, May 24., Walter Tresize,
aged 71, and on Thursday, May 26, Moses Treaiie,
aged 69, died, two brothels of very singular- habits.
They had been brought up from their infancy .as
ners, and had lived together in the same. cottage. in
which they died for upwards of 60 years. Beiagisa.•
chelors,•tirey occupied the same bed, and' were never
known to have slept apart, or to have disagreed in a
single instance; they attended , to.all.therr domestic
concerns without the aid of a female ; cod, !what is
the more remarkable, their cottage could vie. -With
any of their neighbours for neatness and cleanliness.
Having been conspicuous for their honesty, sobriety,
and incustry, in the strength c f their youth, they had
saved a scanty pitt4nce trom their-"earnings, which
was nearly ezhauited at .their decease :*they saettn.:tri
have been born for each other's society, for nature be.
gan to fail in each at the same time, and for nine
weeks previous to their death they lay side by side,
each apparently feeling more from the •eonsciousness
of his brother's infirmines than his owe. -Theoheilied
about SO hours before the other. They were interred
on Sunday last, by The side of each other, in one
grave, upwards of 4,000 persons attending the funeral.
