'fears and quiet the apprehension of the Bpi
mother of him she loved !
The day had arrived when Frederick Merely
and five other incendiaries were to take their trial
for breaking the threshing machine, and burning
the hay and corn of Farmer Smith, and the village
vicar. The cue was one of deep interest • and
accordingly, at an early hour, the Court was,
crowded to excess. Among the most interesting
of the spectators, were Dame Merely and the daugh-
ter of the old soldier ; they came habited in black,
and both seemed labouring under the deepest
agita-
tion and affliction. But when the prisoners Caine
forward, and in answer to the charge brought
against them, pronounced in a clear and deter-
mined voice —" Not guilty ;"—a faint ray of hope
seemed to break in upon their hearts, and they
became more composed. All the prisoners had
followed the advice of their counsel in denying
their guilt; but as the trial proceeded. the evidence
against them was so strong, and the proofs so un-
deniable, that their plea proved useless to all but
two, who were convicted of breaking the machi-
nerp, but not of burning the corn. The evidence
against Merely was the last brought forward • but,
like the rest, it was positive ; and each succeeding
deposition, though It was spoken calmly by the wit-
ness, was like the shock of an earthquake to hie
poor mother and his gentle bride, and fell
" Loud epos their listening hearts,
Tho' low upon their nn."
At length, when the evidence had closed, with
the dreadful proof that Frederick Merely was an
incendiary, and the stillness of the Court was
without interruption, save by the occasional break-
ing forth of a sigh or sob, which his old mother
had not the power to restrain, the Counsel for the
prisoners stepped forth, and ventured to say atm
words in their behalf. They were bootless. The
jury, a ithout retiring, pronounced the sentence of
" Guilty!" against all the prisoners, of breaking
the machinery, and against Frederick Merely and
three others of burning the produce.
The Judge laid his hand upon the black cap,
and sentence of death was pronounced against
Merely.
We will pass over what followed :—Frederick
Merely, in two days afterwards, had given a parting
kiss to a pale and pining girl, whose form seemed
already to be wan and wasting, and whose form
vied with the young roses he had so often aided
her to rear. He has gone now on a long journey.
Nos. 2 and 3of the Rose Cottages are to let. But
poor Peggy, who is now in the village workhouse,
has not forgotten their old inhabitants. She goes
every evening at sunset to the lone church-yard,
and weeps bitterly over the graves of Richard and
her mother. The day is not far distant when she
will join them in their peaceful home.—Bayley.

, On Tuesday, Chichester was visited by • most tremendous
storm of rain, with thunder and lightning ; bat ft is a cu-
rious fact, that it did not reach the course although the sea.

BRIGHTON HORTICULTUILAL SHEN AND DIDINED.....
The Horticultural Society's dinner and show of fruit took
plea on Thursday, at the Old Ship, which was mush fre-
quented by company to witness the tempting exhibition.
The display of fruit we think has been equalled, if not ex-
celled, on former occasions, but the flowers were far more
beautiful than we recollect having previously seen. The
dahlias, for site and richness of tints, were surpassingly
fine.

COLCHESTER GAZETTE, August 20.
Our attention has beat directed to a letter which appeared
In the Cassini* Chreniel.., addressed to the " Farmers of
=4," purporting to be a statement of the laconic' and
eat of the elerrry. This letter undertakes to prove
that all which liu ban advanced against the enormous
wealth of a limited portion of the clergy—against plutalla
non.residenee—and against tithes, la founded in falsehood,
and that any attempt to alter or modify the present disposi.
dos of church or government will companies the
safety of the eitabliabid religion. We find the statement of
our member, Mr. •D. W. Harvey, regarding the revenues of
the clan, strenalaisli Impugned. We, however, do not
feel front the reasoning of the writer, to adopt his
in preference. We care nothing whether the church pro.
petty be of live millions or tea millions annual value; we
know it is improperly divided, and there is not a county in
the Kingdom of England but what can furnish evidence of
the fact. The writer of the letter, In his hurry to justify
the existence of the present system, refers, among other
plans, to the clergy of CoWiester. In illustration of his
argument respecting the moderato payment of the clergy,
be brings forward a number of calculations of the rector's
average income in several towns in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
Stu As a proof of the aeostraey of his caleulatious, we
repeat what he has advanced respecting Colchester. He
states that out of the sixteen parishes of Colchester, from
Parliamentary documents compiled some years since, ten of
them furnish an income to the rector of less than 1501. an-
nually, and that only one parish yields an income of 5001.
annually. This writer also gives the population at 8 000,
and the uphot of his statement is, that Colchester pays only
8141. to sixteen rectors, whose average incomes, includ-
ing all kinds of fees, de. is not more than 1501. It le with
such trash as this, that the " friends of the church" contrive
to give its interests the deadliest blow.

EITT, Ihenvoari.--Wednesday being appointed for the
election of a Trustee in the room of Mr. who had
resigned, the town during the morning was in no small fen
ment with the opposing parties. The contest lay between
Captain Leech and Mr. N. W. Small. The numbers at
the dose of the ballot were as follows :—Small, '245
Leech, 214.
On Saturday se'nnight a public breakfast took place at
Stand well's Hotel, in Stamford, for the purpose of present.
lug to Col. Chaplin, late M.P. for the town, the plate for
which a subscription had been made by his Meads, in tes-
timony of respect for his private character, and for his public
conduct whilst he eat in I's:Bement.
Several farmers in this neighbourhood have already eom.
pktsd their wheat harvest, and should the weather continue
favourable the white grain will in all probability be wholly
secured in a few days. It is a remarkable fact that the de-
mand for hands greatly exceeds the supply.
The millers complain of the bad quality of the new
wheat. The owner of one of the largest mills in Hertford-
shire states, that out of twelve or fourteen samples shown
him at hoystou on Wednesday, there was not one he could
call a 6ne tee.

Last week, two young men drinking together at th.
George public-house, in the village of Spaldwick, near
Huntingdon, fell into a conversation as to " who could
drink most without being intoxicated." One of them said
to the other, " I will call for balf.a.aown's worth of
gin ; if you an finish the liquor, I will pay for it—if
not, you shall." The other, whoa name was bland, ac.
espied the challenge, drank until ho fell from the chair, was
carried home, and soon after died.

two o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday eennight. an awful
storm of thunder and lightning was experienced at fkroo.
near Bawtry. The electric fluid struck the village church,
dislodging the weathercock from the top of the spire,
which was also much injured. It then descended by the
wire of the dock which strikes the hour upon the bell,
taking with it a piece of oak timber attached to the bottom
of the clock, and shivering it to atoms. It then passed
over the single loft and escaped at the north window, which
wu at that time open. The injury which the spire has
sustained is very considerable. A rent has been made in it
which admits the light from the summit to within about
4 yards of the base on the east side, several large stones
having been dislodged.

ship has just been completed in the smithery of Plymouth

officer within its walls, but now an active county magistrate,
whose name will be long remembered. The security which
Mr. Peering has rendered to the maritime world by the in-
troduction of his admirable anchor is well known through.
out the Navy, the anchor having proved itself to be both
strong and secure. He Minos, brought forward one which
sprain to peewee power surpassing the former in as great
a ratio as did the anchor made on the old plan. The im-
provement of bk. Perring's new Invention consists in dia.
posing the iron to greater advantage, by which the whole
body of the material, when riding the ship, is brought into
full action. The component parts of he formatters are
not altered from those of the former anchor, but the ex-
, tenor dimensions are so much Increased in the line of re-
sistance as to give a frigate's anchor the appearance of that
of a first-rate.

Tetraure' Aero. 14.—Mr. Fogarty, of Cahn Castle,
highly respectable country gentleman, had a demand made
on him for tithes due to the Rev. Doctor Cotton, son-in-law
to the Archbishop of Cube!. The amount claimed was
itonething about twenty pounds, and the demand was made
but a few days sines. Mr. Fogarty refused to pay the sera,
and the consequence was, that the drivers of his reverence
were sent to put Mr. Fogarty's cattle in pound. They did
so without any opposition, but the story immediately ran
through the county that Mr. Fogarty, who could pay thou.
sands many otheroccasion, would not pay tithes, and Mathis
cattle were to be sold by auction for the amount. The day
of sole arrived, which was last Thurady. A large police
force was assembled to preside over the ceremony, but
no sale took place, and the cattle were at home to Mr.
Fogarty. The demonstration amongst the people was
truly awful—and had the sale gone on, or the cattle been
brought away from the pound, the result might indeed
have been terrific. The object of Mr. Fogarty was
to try a legal right. Those tithes, I understand,
are claimed where there is a union of paddles, in one of
which there is no Protestant Church, or a single Prote.
stout resident.

THE MURDER AT BRIGHTON- CONFESSIOX
OF THE MURDERER.

Since the removal of Holloway to the gaol at Horsham,
he has repeatedly expressed a wish to speak in private with
the Rev. Mr. Everard, of Brighton. Accordingly. on Stour.
day last that gentleman visited him in prison, and Holloway
immediately proposed to make a confession to him—saying
he was anxious to tell the whole and unburden his mind, u
another person (the woman Kinnaird) was in custody fur
the ofence, which he alone had committed.
The Rev. Gentleman said as he was not a Magistrate, It
would be impr..per. for him to receive a confession, but he
would send for a Magistrate if Holloway wished hint to do
so. Holloway assented, and Sir John Shdley, Mr. T.
Shelley, awl Mr. Cumerrall, who were then holding a
Petty Sessions at the Town-hall, repair.d to the gaol as
soon as they had concluded the business they had in hand.
The prisoner having been brought before them, they told
him who they were, and asked him what he wanted with
them P—He replied he wished to make a voluntary conks.
slop of the horrid crime he had committed.

Ihe magistrates said they felt it to be their duty to
caution him against saying what might prejudice him oo
his trial, because any cession made to them would be
taken down in writing. and produced on his trial as eel.

mit it; therefore he Lad better ceders before be made sty

Holloway, without pausing, said he did not we about
that, for he had determined to tell all about it, as he va,
the guilty person.
The clerk then took down in writing from the lips of the
murderer, a narrative that was truly horrifying, and tr.e oily

himself.
