ABDUCTION AND VIOLATION, AT THE KILKENNY
ASSIZES.
Michael Delany, John Brcnaw, and Michael Kee"
were tried for feloniously and burglariously breaking open
and entering the dwelling-house of Margaret Smith, and
carrying away Mary Ryan by force out of the said house,
and violating her person. This case excited intense in -
termit, and the court was consequently crowded to ex-
cess. The trial commenced early on Saturday morning,
and did not terminate until after three o'clock. Five or
six witnesses were examined on the part of the Crown.
Mrs. Smith, at whose house the prosecutrix, Mary
Ryan, lodged, deposed to her house have been brokor
open on the night stated in the indictment, and that some
men entered it, and succeeded in carrying off the said
Mary Ryan, without allowing her sufficient time to put on all
her clothes. Mrs. Smith could not swear to the persons of
any of the prisoners ; but they were fully identified by thu
prosecutrix as three of the live men by whom she had been
so shamefully abused on the night in question. We shall not
sully our columns by publishing the disgusting and shocking
details of this abominable transaction; suffice it to say that
the charge contained in the second count, of the indictment
was completely proved by the different witnesses on the part
of the prosecution. The unfortunate woman was kept out by
the prisoners for upwards of two hours. Her direct testimony
was unshaken in any particular by the cross-examination of
Mr. Hatchell. A number of witnesses, some of them as
to character, were examined on the part of the prisoners, two
of whom unsuccessfully attempted to prove an alibi. When
the case closed the learned Judge proceeded to recapitu:ate
the evidence, which he did most minutely, and with his usual
perspicuity. The charge occupied at least an hour, when the
jury retired, and after deliberating about an hour, returned
with a verdict of guilty against the three prisoners. The scene
which was exhibited whilst the judge was passing sentence on
these unhappy men utterly defies our command of language,
as it greatly surpassed any occurrence of the like kind which
was ever witnessed in this city. The entire of the dense
crowds which filled the galleries and body of the Court-house
became agitated by the strongest feelings of grief and hor-
ror; and for several minutes the air was filled by the wild
yells of the men, and the shrieks of the female relatives of
the convicts, some of whom forced their nay almost up to
the Bench, and poured forth their supplications for mercy
with an earnestness which vividly attested the intensity of
their affliction. The Judge and Jurors retired into the adja-
cent rooms. The movement of the entire multitude towards
the dock, where the condemned men were taking leave of
their friends, determined Mr. Duncan, the governor of the
city gaol, to remove the prisoners instantly through the
trap door into the gaol ; and, with the assistance of his
turnkeys, this was speedily effected. In a few minutes the
ball was cleared of the greater part of the crowd, order was
restored, and the business of the Court resumed. The three
unfortunate men were sentenced to be executed on Satur-
day, the 2d of April. A strong military guard was placed
in front of the city gaol on Saturday evening, and which
has since remained there.

THE LATE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR NF.AR OAKIIAII.
About a month ago there appeared a paragraph in the ! d Cham-
pion anti the Newt, stating that " an old woman named Levison, w; o
lately died at Braunaton, near Oakbaat, made confessien on her deatt,.
bed to the minister, that she, along with her then master, one Smith, had
been concerned in the bloody and cruel murder of a beast-jobber, a stranger
who had conic to her master's resi lence to restive money; that she held
his head while Satith beat out his brains with a coal-hammer." Mr. W.
Hinds, late a schoolmaster, of Benton, having near 30 yearn since lost a
cousin, named Samuel Johnson, who disappeared in a mysterious
manner, seeing the above paragraph, immediately wrote to the
minister of Besunston for further information relative to the
murder; and the gentleman very politely answered his inquiries.—
The result is, that Mr. Hinds has ascertained that the person thus mur-
dered was the identical beast-jobber, Johnson, aho left Freiston
about Christmas 1801, with considerable property, and a quantity of
cattle to sell at Christmas,
which it now app. ara he sold ; and
on his return called at Oaktam to meet Smith and a man named
Hackett, to receive money for beasts sold to them at Lammas pre •
viously. Hackett settled with him, hut Smith failed to come, end
in consequence Johnson went to Owston-lodge (about 2 or 3 miler
from Oakhaan) to Smith's house for the money, but he never returned
from thence. Smith and the woman lately dead—whose name the
minister says is Levi robbed and .croelly murdered Johnson,
and buried his body in the stack-yard. Smith, who had previously
been in indifferent circumstances, launched out into business for some
years, but after a time he failed and died a pauper, and was buried at
the expense of the patbh. Smith used annually to erect haystacks
upon the place where he had buried his murdered victim. On Smith
leaving the place about twelve years ago, some men who were digging
for gravel found the bones of parr Johnson, and they were collected,
and atterred in Knossieo.in t hurcinyard, about two miles front
a place called ()wenn \f .t where they were found.—
Johnson was a man of good character, and had been intrusted
with much cattle by many of the respectable gresiers round the
neighbourhood of Freiston and Boston. it in supposed that he had about
him property to the amount of 1,6001. or 1.1;001. The inhuman mur-
derer Smith has been dead five years last January, and his worm lace
, died only a few weeks ago. Johnson's uncle, who resided at Freiston,
had made himself responsible to several graziers for the amount intrue‘d
I to hint nephew, of whose integrity he had such an opinion, Spat he paid
nine hundred pounds to the graziers. Two letters, purporting to be
written by the deceased, but which at the time were generally be-
lieved to be forgeries, were received by his friends at Pension,
stating, that he had hired himself to a buzeher at Epping.
It n. supposed these letters were written by the murderer for the pur.
pose of diverting the attention of the deceased's friends. The above
narrative proves that murder, although long hid, hi generally dim.
covered, and brought to light ; and though, in this instance, the guilty
parties escaped human justice, yet we find that a retributive Providence
visited one with all the miseries of poverty in his old age, and the other
with all the horrors of a death-bed repentance.

The name of the. Oumng Outan, in Africa, is Rang
Otou, which is believed to mean wild ann.' In confir-
mation of the name's signifying wild man,' the Africai.s
maintain that there are two races, a black arid a whitepwhich
they consider as a harmony with what takes place is the int•
man species; and it is true, as stated by some of the o
voyagers, that there is a, popular opinion that the Ourang
Outans are men, who refuse to speak, lest they sbouk be
made to work.— Westminster Review.

f9N(.113A31A OF TH 14: BRITISH
EMPIRE'.
FELIX FARLEY'S BRISTOL JOURNAL, MAUCII 26.
At a Missionary Meeting held in Bristol last week, a Mr. Jowett
cora rtained the auditory with the following spiritual account of his
tr. ?els in the countries around the Mediterranean : He had often ex-
perienced great delight in reading the Scriptures with some of the youths
in aloha. The Society had a Mission in Egypt, its head quarters
were at Cairo. When he (Mr. Jowett) had visited Egypt twelve
stars ago, there wire very few copies of the Arabic Scriptures to be
procured, and he was obliged to distribute them most parsimoniously ;
since then, tens of thousands of copies had been printed by the
Bible Society • and it was now the chief employment of the Mis-
sionary, Mr. LeaJer, to go in his boat up and down the Nile to
circulate them. It was truly surprising that so many of the
copies were purchased, when we considered the great poverty of
tha Copts and other inhabitants. They had different motives for
seeking the Scriptures, some that they might learn to read, others from
curiosity. The tract called " The Dairyman's Daughter" bad been
printed in Arabic. An old Mahomedan bad heard of it, sod wished to
buy it. "He wished (lie said) to possess the history of that Saint Eli-
xabeth"—that being the name of a principal character in the tract.—
(In inquiry being made into his motive for wishing to have the tract, it
was sseertained to he of a most curious kind. The Mahomedans ve-
nerate Mary the Mother of Jesus—now (said the old Mussultnan) it is
well known that Mary had a cousin Elisabeth, and who knows but
this Elizabeth spoken of in the tract may be Mary's cousin. It was
summon for crowds of squalid children to flock to Mr. Leader's boat
when he touched at ar.y place. some Coptic, some Mahomedans. The
(opts had a superstitious objection to the Bible being given to Maher-
meet/ins, and would cry out against it. On one occasion a young Ma-
bomedan was very eager to get a book. He is • Muuulinan, cried
il' Copts, don't give him one. I swear by Mahomet, cried the
youth, that I am no Mussulman, at the same time taking hold
of his wrist in the precise manner of the Mahomedan oath. Thus
the poor deluded youth actually swore a falehood to obtain the word of '
truth. Mr. Jnuett proceeded to say, that he did not feel that satisfac-
tion in speaking of Jerusalem which some might:expect. He had spent
twenty most melancholy days there. One goes thither with romantic
iIICAN, but it is melancholy to see how the city sits solitary. It is not
the Jerusalem that is above and is free, but the Jerusalem that is
in the bitterest bondage with her children. Whilst there they were
continually missing people. No one asked whither they were gone,
hut every one knew. They were gone to prison, there to he sub-
jected to the oppressive and cruel exactions of the Turkish governors.
The method was to subject the miserable victim of their rapacity to
the bastinado, until they compelled him to purchase his deliverance
by disclosing his property, and stipulating to pay a certain sum.
The amount of this sum was settled by a sort of regular bidding be-
tween the Turk and his victim ; the latter being urged to a more and
more liberal offer by the pungent argument of the bastinado, till he was
wrought up to an amount equal to the wishes of his rapacious opressor.
There was no light to illuminate the dark picture. There was but the
name of Christianity there. In the church of the Holy Sepulchre
every niche was assigned to some idol saint, or consecrated to the,
memory of some incident, real or fictitious. The devotion of the
nominal Christians consisted in touching and kissing these images
or stones. It was Christianity paganized. He had observed one
place in the church which for some reason or other had a pecu-
liar sanctity. The people could not get at it to touch it. But
a cane was suspended near it, which the devotee took, and with
it touched the sacred spot, then drew it back and kissed the
cane ! Recent political changes had had a favourable effect in
respect of missionaries. Those who had fled from the foot of Mount
Lebanon were now returned to their post. There was .a sensible alte-
ration in the tone assumed by the European Ambassadors in their com-
munications with the Grand Segnior—formerly they were treated con-
ti mptuously by the haughty Turk ; now they approached him in a more
rii,,nified character, and their language to him was, " you must govern
well, or we cannot answer for the consequences." Thus the malignant
influence of the Turkish government was curbed and restrained. With
respect to Greece, he was sorry to say that there was a decided bias in
the highest authorities toward that sort of Pagan-Chtistianity, which
was such a barrier to the diffusion of the gospel. It was encou-
raging, however, that Infant Schools had been established in the island
of ticyra ; and in the lonian Isles, which are under British protection,
the scriptures are freely introduced and schools carried on. Algiers was
a most interesting point to which to direct the missionary eye. The
state of things there antecedently to late events was dreadful. He
had been in Salonica when an Algerine captain proclaimed there in
the open market place—" Who is there among you that has killed
his tither or mother, his sister or brother, ba. let him come and join
the army at Algiers !" This was their style of recruiting. He (Mr.
Jowett) had taken measures for sending two Swiss missionaries—
hardy, all-enduring men, such as he lamented to say were not common
in England. who had undertaken the arduous task of endeavouring to
force their way, by a sort of regular siege, into the heart of Algiers.
But the French got the start of them, and the measure was suspended.
What would be the effect of the conquest of Algiers by the French he
Was not prepared to state ; but he was much gratified on his return to
England to find that a translation of the scriptures had been procured
In the language of the tribes bordering upon Algiers. Thereby the key
of North Africa had been placed in the hands of the British and Fo-
reign Bible Society.
The Bachelors' Ball at Clifton, yesterday se'nnight, was a very
splendid affair. The company began to assemble about nine o'clock,
and continued to arrive till near eleven. Weippert's celebrated band,
from London, was stationed in the orchestra, and filled the room with
most delightful music. At one o'clock, the suite of supper rooms was
thrown open, and the company, nearly 300 in number, sat down to a
most elegant repast. The polite attentions of the Committee left nothing
to be desired. After supper the dancing was resumed, and kept
up till . _ _

GLASGOW FREE PRESS, MARcii 30.

Monday last was perhaps the most extraordinary day that ever 1
passed off in Glasgow. zigrecably to the advertisement and proclama.
lion of the Lord Provost, the citizens began so early as Saturday their
preparations to illuminate ; and by the time that Monday morning's
sun robe bright and cloudless in the east, innumerable flags were seen
floating from the windows and chimney tops of houses, the roofs of pub-
lic works, and in every prominent situation both in town and neigh.
bourhood. Bonfires, too, were prepared on almost every eminence, and
set fire to early in the afternoon, so that they might reach their utmost
degree of brilliancy by the time fixed for the commencement of the
illumination ; and during the whole day, from morning to night,
bands of happy people were everywhere to be observed, letting fly bal.
learns and firing off pistols, guns, and even in some instances cannon, in
terainicny of their joy at the event about to be celebrated.
Within doors nothing but bustle prevailed on all hands, in prepar-
ing flags, designs, mottoes, and getting fixtures ready in the windows
for the reception of candles: and long before dark, scarcely a house ap-
peared unprepared to strike up its lights on a moment's notice. By
this time the streets had become quite thronged with the inhabitants of
all ranks, going about and inspecting the various devices, and at the
Lord Provost's and Mr. James Lunisden's particularly, great crowds
were collected daring the greater part of the day. This was also the
case at the head of Stockwell-street and King-street, where, by autho-
rity, two large bonfires were erected, and around which dense crowds
continued to enjoy themselves until the termination of the whole pro-
ceedings.
As if to shed superior brightness and diffuse superior hilarity on this
occasion, the day was one of the sunniest and most serene that has been
witnessed in this qnarter fur many months ; and when night came, a
full orbed and beautiful moon took place of day's great luminary, and
flooded the whole scene with her romantic twilight. It was then
that the bonfires in town and on the distant heights began to be effec-
tive, and that the flashing of squibs and the soaring of rockets startled
the ear and attracted the sight. The scene, too, where great masses
of building could be viewed at once, was at this time particularly
striking, as, the instant the lights were struck, they stood out in splen-
did relief from the shadowness around them, more like fairyland pic-
tures than earth's sober realities. An imaginative mind might indeed
have fancied the whole to have been a scene from the Arabian Nights,
so varied and striking were the individual objects, and yet so brilliant
and harmonious was the general effect they produced. But we must
now leave generalities, and proceed to particulars.
First, then, the vessels at the Broomielaw and at Port Bund', had
all their flags hoisted, and presented a very airy appearance.
The Lord Provost's house, St. Vincent Place.—A transparency re-
presenting the City Arms, underneath which was Trade and Manufac-
tures, with the figure of Commerce, holding the flag of reform. The
motto, " Let Glasgow Famish," which covered the front of Ma Lord.
ship's house, was lighted with 1600 gas burners—formed into the shape
of an anchor.
JAMES Lu minx, Esq. Queen Street. In each of the ten windows
of Mr. Luntsden's house, was an elegant transparency. In the centre
whithlw of the lower range, was the portrait of his Majesty, in an Ad.
Oral's uniform, in the act of lifting his hat from his head with his left
•

'

Lard. and taking hold an glass of wine with the right, as if about to
propose as a toast. (the word being painted in Loge letters below,)
" Reform." On his Majesty's right, a half length portrait of Lord
Chancellor Brougham in his robes, with his motto below, 0 Pro
liege Lege et Grege.° On his Majesty's left, Earl Grey, also in
his robes as a Peer, and half length size, with the words below,
" 1793, Alter et idem, lan." On the extreme right of the range, a
similar portrait of the Lord Advocate Jeffrey—on the pedestal, the
words, " The Advocate of the People." On the extreme left a similar
portrait of Lord John Russell, and below it the words. " Success
to the Russell Purge." The centre window of the upper range
was occupied by a transparency representing a piloting presa—
in addition to these transparencies, numerous fireworks were let off in
the course of the night, and some of them, accompanied by comments
from Mr. Lumaden, were received by thousands around his mansion
with loud and spirited cheering.
Mr Auld's, coppersmith, Queen-street, was particularly brilliant,
with a large national flag flying froin one of the windows, and a crown,
lighted up with variegated lamps, suspended from the top of the flag-
staff.

Thomas Muir, Esq. Ingram-street —The five upper windows of
Mr. Muir's warehouse were adorned with beautiful transparencies.—
The centre window exhibited a splendid figure of the Genius of the
British Constitution treading with one foot on the Demon of Corrup-
tion, and in the act of striking a fatal blow.
William Craig, Esq. Montague Place,—This gentleman displayed
two transparencies—the first bore the motto, " Glasgow must now take
her stand in the great Council of the nation," the other, " Reform, the
Funeral Knell of the Boroughmongers."
Mr. Pauison's house, Blythswood-square, was in a blaze of light, I
with a transparency which we shall attempt to describe—in the centre a
wreath of laurel, surmounted with the imperial crown, and shooting
out rays of glory, with the words
The King and the People.
On the extreme right was an Egyptian pyramid, inscribed with the
illustrious name of Fox.
On the left Fame " trumpet in hand," with:a small scroll inscribed with
Brougham
Grey
Russell

At the lower pan of the whole wu the following stanza :
After wandering forty years,
'Mid persecution, taunts, and jeers,
The promised land at length appears,
To bless our weary eyes.
It is well known to most of our readers, that the late Mr. Pattison,
of Kelvingrove, this gentleman's father, was one of the most staunch
supporters of the " good cause," and suffered a kind of martyrdom for
his principles, having been burned in effigy, by a hired mob, in the
years 1795 and 1796.
Mr. Atkinson had at his residence in Miller-street, " Brougham ! "
in colossal letters of light, and at his place of business, a double tran-
sparency, on which were the Scales of Justice—where the one having
scrolls marked " The King," " The Cabinet," " The People,"
" Glasgow" kicked the beam of that with The Boroughmongers"
and "Old Sarum" inscribed. It had the motto, " Weighed and found
Wanting." On the other side were these lines :
" The noblest Caesar's fame—to even our day,
Is that the city that he found but clay
lie marble left ; Our King's will worthier be—
lle found us servile—but will leave us Free !"

The windows of Messrs. Morris, Kirkwood and Bland, in lilt.
Douglas's elegant buildings, attracted considerable notice. Mr.
Douglas's own house was particularly splendid.
The Royal Tavern, Mr. Easton's, Argyll-street, shone very conspi-
cuous. In the centre window there was an excellent full length portrait
of his Gracious Majesty, surmounted with the words, " Our patriotic
King about to extinguish the Boroughmongera." In his right hand
his Majesty held a large scroll, bearing—. The Worn' Bill must
pass," and in his left an immense extinguisher, which he seemed just
in the act of clapping on the devoted heads of a group of those chubb-
faced gentry, who are crouching beneath it, in the humiliating attitude
of supplication.
William Gilmour and Co. wholesale woollen drapers, at the Cross,
exhibited a very chaste design, viz :
LET GLASGOW FLOURISH,
_ _ _

She proves her Gratitude to King IS'illiam the Fourth and his

P 4 iniatem

At the Tron Church was a humorous device that gave great satisfac.
tion. It represented his present Majesty in the habit of a sailor, with a
broom in his band, in the act of sweeping off a swarm of Boroughmon-
gets, and underneath the appropriate motto,
" Sweep the house, Willie !"
On the south side Trongate, nearly opposite the mouth of Hutche-
son-street, was another device almost similar, only the motto was differ-
ent, his Majesty, while in the act of sweeping, being made to use the
emphatic words, " Oft; off !"
At the Cross, the equestrian statue of King William had on its head
a beautifully illuminated crown and in its hand a flaming torch, to
light the people cn towards liberty.
A MOTLL Aacane.—This place shone very conspicuous, and excited
general satisfaction at the tasteful and expressive manner in which the
landlords and tenantry had decorated the two grand entrances of that
edifice.

In addition to these, the splendid appearance of the New Exchange,
and the bluing brightness of the Gas Company's Office, Virginia.
street, deserves also to be particularised. The Gorbals, regarding which
every house and street in it was extremely brilliant. The appearance
of Carlton.place, from the bridges, was sublime. The Baronial Hall
was very tastefully fitted up, and we noticed a great variety of trans-
parencies, &c. Amongst others, Mr. Christie's, in Carlton place, and
Mr. Mackenzie's, in Portland-street, who displayed a flag with an eagle
and Scots Thistle—words, " For Right and Raison ;" also transpann-
des of the King and Lord Chancellor in the act of dissolving Parlia-
ment, and caricatures of Peel, Scarlett, Twiss, &c. &c. looking
round in sad consternation with rats, &c. running with them.
Yet, magnificent as all this display was, there was something in
the midst of it more magnificent still, the exultant enthusiasm,
joined to the orderly and peaceable demeanour of the thousands wbo
thronged the streets and almost impressed the spectator with an idea
that their numbers were infinite. Not one angry word was heard, not
one violent act was committed, all appeared sensible of the obligation
under which they lay to show themselves worthy of the great moral
victory achieved in their behalf, of the important rights about to be
conferred on them ; and the harmonious, inoffensive, and tranquil man.
ner in which the amid, under these impressions, moved about, was
perhaps the sublimest moral spectacle ever witnessed.
At the same time, it ought not to pass unnoticed, that while some
individuals received mark. of approbation, others did not escape marks
of a contrary kind. Campbell of Blythswood was ignominiously burnt
in effigy, as also was Sir R. Inglis; and it was the intention to bestow
a similar honour on Mr. H. Monteith and the Hon. C. Douglas, but
whether the ceremony took place or not we could not ascertain. The
effigy of the Duke of Wellington was the moat severely treated. It was
carried about for a good while, characteristically bedecked, and with a
man dressed as a criminal officer, occasionally bestowing upon it a few
lashes with a whip, and after this was done it was ittended to have tossed
it into the flames; but this Was prevented by the police, who seized the
poor Duke and bore him to the police office, at which he was the only
one in durance.

At ten o'clock, the bells, which had been rung from eight, ceased ;
by about eleven, almost all the lights were extinguished ; and from this
period the immense crowds began gradually to disperse, all in the highest
spirits, and not a few of them hurraing or chaunting such staves as oc-
curred to them. One of these, sung by a young man about the foot of
Queen-street, deserves, fur its point and appropriateness, to be here
quoted :
" The wild wind around us may furiously whistle,
And tempests the ocean deform ;
But united, the red rose, the Shamrock and thistle,
With King William will weather the storm.
Hard up with the helm Britannia's shat flows,
Magna Charts on board will avail her ;
And better she sails as the harder It blows,
For her Pilot's a King and a Sailor !"
The bonfires were extinguished about two in the morning ; soon
after that, the streets were almost wholly deserted ; and to look abroad
at daylight yesterday, presented a singular contrast to the late magnifi-
cent pageant, every vestige of it having already passed away, and
nothing being left but the realities of a city awaking from silence and
repose, and of nature's calm aspect stretched everywhere around it.
The number of malcontents who refused to illuminate, was exceed-
ingly small, and the crowd, in a spirit of the greatest magnanimity,
forbore from offering them the slightest annoyance—not even one de-
risive cheer.

ILLUMINATION DINNER.
On the evening of the Illumination, the good cause convened up-
wards of one hundred gentlemen, who dined together in the New
Exchange Tavern, which au most elegantly fitted up for the occasion,
and formed, previous to the dinner, an object of great attraction. Mr.
Bell was Chairman, and Mr. Lumsden Croupier. The toasts were all
appropriate ; the speaking admirable, and the hilarity of the guests of
the highest kind. The eloquence of Sir D. K. Sandford, was, as usual,
unrivalled.

REJOICINGS IN OTHER PLACES.
The Public Works at Kelvinhaugh, on the Clyde, displayed a great
variety of tii.colourcd flags, and other emblems of rejoicing.
On the same day, Paisley was splendidly illuminated.—So also were
Govan and Patrick. The Burgh of Renfrew, and the town of Hamil-
ton, acted the same joyous part on Saturday; and we uncerstand that
the Duke of Hamilton's Palace was likewise illuminated, in a style
corresponding with the taste and wealth of its noble owner. Polok-
shaws, and the Villages of Dalmuir and Duntocher, have testified
their joy in a similar way.
