ROYAL At'Atok:Mt 6? MtWic.

• • The Committee in whom the tilltitageitteof of the
r
Royal Aeaderny of Music is verwll, have msadesboit.
first Report, after deseribing•its origin from the seg•
gestion of Lord BURGlitatiff, its patronage by
Kam, and the various steps taken tooling it se,st
unity, furnishes- the following' riew '-and intereiMg
information.:
" The present funds of the Institution get sufficient to Web
the Committee to proceed, on the presto* limited soak, until,
a more beneficial conviction of its importance shall be prockuced
on the public mind by a display of the talent which the Royal
Academy of Music now cultiVates and will soon produce." •
" The house (taken for the Academy, it. is stated,) •
unites, with the convenience of situation for those who almost
daily superintend, and for the Professors, whose time is of so
much value, a reasonableness of price which scarcely could have
been expected in the outskirts of the metropolis. It possesses,
too, the indispensable property of being capable of separation,
by which all commupication'between the parts of the building
allotted to the male and female branches of the lustitution is
completely cut oft" -
Aware of the importance of inculcating sound
moral principles in students of the musical profes-
sion, after " much inquiry as to his character and
abilitiei, the • Rev. Mr. Mrs.'s, a Clergyman of the
established Church, and of high reputation, has been
selected and appointed •superintendent of the male
department. The choice of the superintendent of the
female department was much snore difficult. In ad-
dition to the necessity of an unblemished reputatior,
and of ability for the charge, it was important to
find a Gentlewoman whose mind and Manners might
be an example to the pupils placid ander her sere;
and this important charge has been confided to Mrs:
' WAY* die widow of the late Colonel Wane,* rale&
tioii which appears to be most judicious. •
• " As soon as a place of reception was provided,
instructors engaged, and-sufficient funds collected to
warrant a belief of stability, the Committee directed
their attention to the reception of the pupil's. The
number of candidates for admission amounted to
sixty; but with the most anxious wish to extend the
benefits of the Institution, the Committee were
obliged to limit the number of students o'2o. One
boy more was added, who had the honcsur of being
recommended by his Majftty.
. " Since this election, which took plate on the Bth
of March, the COmmittee, by some trifling altera-
tions, and by repairing the attics, have been enabled
to accommodate eighemore boys, and the same num-
ber of girls.
"It was a sirbject pf much reflection; Of what eats
of students this addition thoufd ccartist. The Com-
mittee felt a most atwinot wish chit they should have
been elected by- belititi but the imperiods necessity of
increasing the futakiiiiinit4 their attention, and

• COUNTY OP DOWN ASSIZES, JULY P.A.

sigGoL,Alt TRIM. FOIL UORDelt. •
Patrick IftCann, otherwise Bernard APCane..
otherwise Awes Hughes, was indicted for the min--
der of Oven *Adam, near Lisburn, on the 26th
July, 1813, and although ten years had elapsed, and
he had left that part of the country, and had settled!
and prospered, under another name, as a butcher, in
the town of Galway, he was accidentally recognised,
brought to justice, and at. this. Assize convicted of
the aforesaid murder.
M'Adam, it seems, was a horse-dealer, with whom
'the prisoner had been drinking on the day on which-
the former lost his life; and, tempted by the
money in his possession, he murdered and threw him
into the canal. The evidence was circumstantial. bat
conclusive. Although so lung a time had passed, the.
horse and watch of the deceased were traced to the
hands of the prisoner, who had left the country
on the committal of the murder.
The unfortunate culprit, who had escaped the,
punishment due to his cruse for so long a period,
and who hadin the interim married sirespectable wife
in Galway, maiatained,ofor the last ten years, an au-
exceptionable character and a family of five children,
and also an independence not often found in that
rank of life. He was supposed to be worth at least
£1,500, of capital, and, had twenty-three acres of
land, nearly rent-free for ever. His behaviour pre-
vials- to conviction, exhibited eatrecne levity, having
danced down the steps of the 'Court-house on the,
preceding evening. Even on this awful occasion he
retained his firmness, stating audibly, and with a ,
strong tone of voice, that he did not care a farthing
for the sentence, as he would die innocent, and kept
up the same tenour of conduct, and assertions of inno-
cence, even to his brothers.i he, however, acknow-
ledged to the Sheriff, about eleven o'clock on Wed-
nesday night, that he had been at the murder, and.
was about ten yards off when it occurred ; that the
person who murdered him was named James Hughes,
and that he took that name when he went to Galway.

siageurioN,Thursday last this unhappy man
paid the 'inf.& attached to his crime; he appeared
on the scaffold in front of the jail about 20 minutes
before two o'clock, and after addressing a few words
to the assembled multitude, stating in substance that
he was about to suffer justly, and that quarrelling
had brought him to his untimely end, he knelt down
in prayer with the Catholic clergyman wise attended
him, and after ten or twelve minutes spent with ap-
parent fervour in his devotional exercises, he Arose
and stood erect, and when the clergyman retired,
palled the cap over his face with apparent firmness
and self-possession, aad a short time after, the fatal
drop fell; when, from his v.-at weight, the rope
broke„ and the miserable wretch fell upwards of 20
feet on the ground. He alighted on his feet, and,
from his handb being pinioned, immediately fell
back, and, by the surrounding spectators, it was
hqped he was dither dead or senseless. The soldiers,
with rapid humanity, immediately carried him inside
the jail gate, and we are informed that in a few
minutes, he sat upright on his own coffin, and asked
for a draught of water. After a period of nearly an
hour and a half bad elapsed, he walked up the stairs
leading to the platform. He was brought out again,
knelt down with the clergyman with apparent firm•
nets, and, as stated by those beside him, appeared as
much or more afraid of a second fall, than of his ap-
proaching dissolution. He was launched into eternity
at a quarter past three, and the sensation excited by
the first fall sent a rumour through the assembled
multitude with the quickness of lightning, and through.
every part of the town, that the rope had broke .a
second time, which, fortunately, was not correct...-.
After hanging the usual time the body was cut dawn,
pursuant to the sentence, and taken to the Infirmary.,
escorted- by a Pettit of the 77th Regiment, who at-
tended as .a guard daring the execution.
