FRANKFORT, JULT 84.

We hear that the Sittings of the German Diet will
probably be prorogued in the beginning of August for
several months, because certain preparatory labours of
the Committee, on which future discussions were to have
been rounded, cannot be terminated so soon as was ex-
pected. Whether or in what manner the visit of Prince
Metternich to his seat at Johannisberg and the meeting
of numerous distinguished diplomatic characters at the
same time, have led to any political negociations, either
with respect to the affairs of Europe in general, or those
of Germany in particular, seems still doubtful.—
Should any such negociations have taken place, a ge-
neral conviction prevails, that their object will be only
the maintenance of the great system designed to pre-
serve the general tranquillity and welfare of the States,
the excellence of which is proved by daily experience.
This conviction, founded on the consistent policy which
the great Powers have followed for some years past, is
the cause that people are less disposed than they have
been at other times to indulge in conjectures relative to
the results ; and thus we may flatter ourselves with
having really arrived at the time when the general
happiness of nations is secured, so far as it can depend
on great political combinations. -
Notwithstanding this, there remains, as far as Ger-
many is concerned, one wish to be fulfilled, but which,
in our opinion, is not in the power of the great Cabi-
nets: this is, the opening of markets, where the States
in question may be able to dispose of their accumu-
lating prodece and manufactures, which are in danger
of being wholly depreciated. It had been hoped that
a general convention between the German States of the
second and third class would be effected, •as the re-
spective Governments have long since been sensible of
the utility of such a measure; but, to judge by the re-
suit of the negociations that have been commenced, it
appears that the desired object was not to be obtained
in the mode proposed, though it is still hoped that some
other means may be found. We learn, in fact, that two
of the most important German States are on the point
of concluding an engagement which will afford their
subjects all the advantages that can be desired.

We have received the Havannall Journals to the end
of June. The only thing in the shape of intelligence
they contain is, the decree of FIRDINAND against the
negotiations of the Constitutional Commissioners with
the South American Governments, which has been
already noticed. This decree, though issued at Madrid
in Fzbruary, appears not to laic reached the Horan

nab till June; on the 4th of which month, thi
vernor, Don FRANCISCO DIONISIO VIVES, publiilled it
by proclamation. It is in the following term::

FERDINAND has conferred on the Island of Cuba,*
title of " Ever Faithful."

We have received a file of the Mexican journal en.
titled El Sol, to the 4th of June inclusive. The article
of chief interest to be found in them is the proclamation
of the Executive, given in a preceding column. It is
subscribed only by two members of the Executive, Do.
artuovaz and Grumman, General BRAVO having been
absent from the capital on his expedition to Guadalaxara.
It is a plain and manly statement of the situation of the
country, and alludes to the designs of truisms, against
whom a Proclamation has been issued.

These papers also contain a notice of the arrival of the
French Commissioner at Sacrificios, where he remained
waiting for passports to enable him to proceed to
Xalapa. A mutiny had taken place at Tehuacan of a
piquet of dragoons, employed to escort a prisoner, who
thus obtained his liberty. The ringleaders of the mu.
tiny, however, fled, and the dragoons returned to their
duty. This circumstance gave rise to a false report of
one of the regiments under General BRAVO having de.
serted. No details are given of the conspiracy in favour
of ITWILDIDE, nor does punishment appear to have been
inflicted on any of the persons arrested.
Charleston Papers to the 4th, and Quebec to the 6th
of July, with New Brunswick Papers to the 30th of
June, have reached us, but they are very barren of in.
telligence. The Eighth Parliament of Upper Canada
has been dissolved, and new writs have been issued, re.
turnable on the 9th of August.
The rains, from the 24th to the 27th of June, appear
to have fallen heavily in the upper parts of the river
Gouffre, which passes the parish of &. Paul's Bay, on
the north shore,and, added to the melting of the snow,
caused the elver to rise very rapidly to an unprecedented
height, it has caused a destruction of property to the
amount of L'2,500. The number of houses destroyed
are twelve. Twenty other buildings, and about forty
saw-mills were swept off.

of the 2d of July :

• -

This was an action against the defendants, as owners
of the Southend coach called the Hero, for the negli-
gent driving of their servant, whereby one of the plain-
tiff's shoulders was dislocated. _ _ _

Mr. Guam and Mr. Anotraus conducted the
plaintiff's case. It appeared in evidence that the plain-
tiff, who is a respectable farmer and surveyor, living at
Rayleigh, took an outside place on the defendants coach
to London, on the 10th April, 1822. • He get up between
Rayleigh and Rochford about sic in the morning, and
seated himself in the Jickey. There were several other
passengers on the.roof. The coach proceeded in safety
until it came to the brow of Rayleigh-hill, when James
Palmer, the coachman, and a relation of one of the de-
fendants, began whipping his horses, and drove them
down the hill at a furious rate. One witness, a miller,
who saw the transaction from the stage of his mill, said
it appeared to him that the horses were going at the
prodigious rate of between IS and 20 miles an hour.
The velocity increasing, the coach soon betame on•
manageable, and after proceeding a great many rods
on two wheels only, it swayed on one side, and at last
fell, with a tremendous crash, at the bottom of the hill,
scattering the unfortunate passengers in all directions.
Several of them were severely hurt, and among others
the plaintiff, who had his left shoulder dislocated. He
was taken up and carried to a surgeon's as soon as possi-
ble, but a considerable time elapsed before the dislocation
was reduced, and in this operation he suffered the most
excruciating pain, and was for a month afterwards under
the care of a surgeon, whose bill amounted to 101.16 v
The plaintiff, being a man advanced in years, was stated
to be still labouring nader the effects of the injury Be.
sides the dislocation of his shoulder, he bad also sus-
tained very severe bruises and contusions. For those
injuries the present action was brought. It was sworn
positively that the coachman had sat up all night, and
was drunk when the accident happened; that he whipped
his horses when he got to the brow of the hill, and that
the slowest rate at which the coach was going was be-
tween eleven and twelve miles an hour. A great pro-
portion of the evidence offered on the part of the plain-
tiff was to establish the joint liability of the defendants,
which hicanse necessary in consequence of their having
weginald to make the usual entry at Somerset House.
Various acts if ownership were proved, which it was
• • • • • • was alicient to thew a joint liability.
, The defendants, whose names were George Palmer
aid Edward Cracklia, were defended separately, and
the defence of both was mainly founded on the circum-
stance of their having no joint interest in the coach. To
prove this, some evidence was offered. It was also at-
topped to give an answer to the charge of negligence.
Mr. Guam, in reply, urged this as one of the most
aggravated cases of the kind which had ever come un-
der his notice, and he demanded, at the hands of the
Jury, exemplary damages—first, as a compensation to
the plaintiff for his dreadful injuries ; and second, as the
only mode of making coach-proprietors and their ser-
vants less indifferent to the lives of his Majesty's subjects.
Mr. Justice Bunnouou summed up the evidence,.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 1201.

John Burrell and Beirjassia Burrell were indicted for
a burglary and robbery in the dwelling-house of Jane
Clapton, at Dunmow, on the night of the 16th of May.
Mr. Knox, for the prosecution, stated that Mrs. Clap-
ton was a Lady advanced in life, resident with a sister,
at Danmew. Early on the 17th of May she was awoke
by the noise of her bed-room window being broken in;
and, drawing open the bed-curtain, saw a man making
his way in at the window. Mrs. Ciapton jumped up
and attempted to rush to the stairs, but the man fol-
lowed, saying, “ Yon need not run away, I will not hurt
you." The man brought her back to the room, and she
then saw that another man had of in. They desired
her to get a candle, but they a light from the tin-
der-box themselves. Mrs. Clapton went into her bed
again, but one of the men forced his hand under the pil-
low where her pocket was, and demanding the keys,
pointed to the-drawer where she nasally kept her money.
They then proceeded to search the drawers, and took
away a 51. bank-note and thirty sovereigns. They then
quitted the house, and one of the men on retiring said,
44 if she made the least alarm, she should fare the worse
for it." She identified John Burrell positively, but
though she believed the other prisoner to be one of the
men, she was not equally certain. Evidence was ad-
duced to shew that the prisoners were in company at
Dunmow, the day before the robbery, and after it, 00
the road between Harlow and °agar. It was also
proved that the prisoners had gone to London by cow*
from Saffron Walden, and paid for their seats with
two new crown pieces, which were identified by Mrs.
Clapton as part of the stolen money.
The prisoners did not produce witnesses, but pro-
tested their innocence of the charge-The Jury, after
a short deliberation, returned a verdict of—Guilty.
Mrs. Clapton recommended the prisoners to mercy.
Milian Salmon, aged 15, was indicted for mali-
ciously setting fire to a barn at Great Bardfield, on the
25th March last, belonging to Thomas Smith. Verdict
.Not Guilty.
YORK. AUGUST 5.
Skpleso Carman, aged 50, was pot to the bar, charged
with having wilfully, maliciously, and unlawfully,
stabbed or cut his wife, Elizabeth Carnall, with an in-
strument called a razor, with intent in so doing to mur-
der or maim her.
Elizabeth Carnall, the wife of the prisoner, said, that
the had been married to bite for six years, and had
borne him two children; they were both of them alive
at present ; the eldest was five years old, and the
ppungest five months. They had not lived upon good
Mmes lately; her husband hail often told• her that he
would stab, her, and put her to bed with a spade. On
the Bth of June last, she recollected her husband going
out to work; he is widener ; he returned about three
& dock. They had a few words. He then went
out, end returned home agaiq about four o'clock. After
that time she left the noose, with the intending' of going
to her brother's. The prisoner followed her, and told

her that he thought she was going somewhere else, and
that if he had found that she had gone where he sus-
she would have seen what be would have done.
Witness then went home with him. When they Were
ton to bed, he locked the street-door, and put the,
key of it in his pocket. She was alarmed at this circum-
stance, and asked him what he meant by it ? He re-
plied, that he was afraid she would get up and go out.
She said, that if he did not give her the key, she would
not go to bed, as she feared for her life. Seeing him
put something into his pocket, she asked him to let her
see what it was, whether it was a•knite or a razor? He
said he had nothing in his pocket. After he had un-
dressed himself, and as he was getting into bed, he
stooped down, took something up, and put it into his
bosom. She was alarmed, she put her hand into his
bosom and pulled eat a razor. She said, 14 Dear me, it
is a razor. He denied that it was a razor, and snatched
it from her. He again put it into his bosom and went
to bed. She then took up a piece of wood and knocked
with it for help against the wainscot of the next house.
Her husband immediately jumped out of bed, and open-
ing the razor, cut at her throat. She struggled with
him, but he succeeded in cutting her on the side of the
face. She then bent her head down to protect her face,
and he then cut her on the back of the neck. She was
at length rescued from him. She knew no motive for
this assault except it was jealousy. He was always
jealous of her.
James Winterbottom deposed, that on the night in
question, be heard the cry of " Murder!" Going into
his yard, he heard it repeated. He then went to the
prisoner's door, where he heard the last witness crying
out, " 0 Loan ! 0 Lotto ! he has cot my throat."
Witness tried to force open the door, but did not suc-
ceed in doing so. He then forced open the window-
shutter, and the woman unbasped the window; he got
in through it. He ran round to the door ; but the key
was not in it. He then went into the prisoner's room,
when be saw him endeavouring to cut his throat upon
the bed with a razor. Witness seized the razor, and
said, " Thou villain, thou bast cut thy wife's throat,
and

now thou art going to cut thirr.: own I" The pri.
soner replied, " She threatened to knock my brains out
with the poker, and who could wish to live after it r
10ther persons then came into the house by the window.
They asked him for the key. Prisoner told them that
it was in his pocket; it was found there. The door was
then opened, and other persons came in. Witness did
,not think the prisoner to be as right as he ought to be;
but he bad sufficient sense to distinguish right from
wrong.—Another witness gave similar testimony.
Mr. Kirby, a surgeon at Sheffield, deposed as follows:
—I was sent for to attend the prisoner's wife, on the
night in question. I found her in a very faint state,
sitting on the bed, and supported by several persons.
The upper part of her dress was entirely covered with
blood. I observed that she had received three wounds,
,one upon her throat, one upon her right cheek, and one
on the back of her neck. From the appearance of them
I concluded that they had been inflicted by a sharp in-
strument. The wound on the throat was slight; that
at the cheek was about three quarters of an inch long.
I considered the wound on the back of the neck as fir
the worst. It was four inches in length, and appeared
as if it had been made across to the bone at first, and
as if the instrument which made it had been drawn up
backwards and forwards in it. There were several little
flashy flaps within the first wound. The bone was a
little injured. It did not heal for five weeks. I saw the
prisoner a few days afterwards; there were nine scratches
on his throat. I conjecture that these scratches were
made in consequence of the point of the razor being
snipped. I think the prisoner to be a man of weak mind.
The prisoner being called upon for his defence, de-
clared that his wife had been a very impertinent woman
to him for many years past. She had left him to live
with another man who was married, and by whitn she
had four children. He had also been obliged to have
her cried on two different market-days, because he was
afraid that he should have to pay the debts which
her extravagance might lead her to contract. On the
death of the man with Wigan she had been living, she
came home to him, bringing with her two children.
She promised to be all be wished, if be would take her
home again. He was unwilling to do so at first, but be
afterwards consented to do so, in consequence of the
persuasions of the Magistrates. Since that time she had
behaved very ill, consorting with other men, threaten-
ing to scald his eyes out, and to get other men to thresh
his bones.—He called the following to his character:
William Siddal, a shoemaker, said the prisoner had
borne a good character, and might have continued to
•
bear it, had he met with a steady partner. His wife
bad not behaved well to him; she had-been away from
him some time; he was a man of weak intellects.
Mr. Baron HULLOCK summed up the evidence, after
which the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the
prisoner, but recommended him to mercy.—Sentence
of Deadi was then ordered to be recorded against him.
Thomas Mortimer, aged 25, was then put to the hart
charged with killing and slaying William Leedham, is
the parish of Leeds.
It appeared from the evidence given this day, that in
consequence of a quarrel which had taken place be-
tween the parties, and of a subsequent challenge given
to the prisoner by the deceased to fight for ss. they had
met and fought, arid that the deceased had died the
next morning from thobeating he had received in the
course of the beide. It was stated that the wife of the
deceased held her husband's clothes, and encouraged
him during the fight, in the course of which she recom-
mended him to take off his boots, as it would enable him
to fight the better.

call any witnesses, conceiving it injurious to his cause.
The present attack was made without the slightest inti-

Sessions of the Peace for Winchester, held yesterday, •
Burridge was indicted for . the assault, to which he
pleaded " Guilty," and threw himself on the merciful

keep the peace for the space of two years.
