.DitATII DROWNINOr-A young man, 18 years of
age, the sou of Mt. Mnierialn, of Touenhans.eourt-road, was
drowned yesterday In the Thames, near Batters bridge.
The Rev. Mr. thinsta.m, formerly a Roman Catholic
Reader of St. James's parish, in Dublin. publicly con-
formed to the. Church of England, on Sunday, by re-
ceiving the Sacrament of the LORD'S Supper, according
to its ritual, in St. Stephen's Chapel, Mount-stre:t.
The convert, who conforms in this way, renounces the
derties of the Chirch. of Rome as emphatically, and
attests his conviction cf.:the purity and the sanctity of
reformed faith, as fully as he could have formerly
. .
do:,e by an kiome and offensiie recantation. The
aev. Dr. Gnarl consecrated the dem nts, and was
assisted in the administration of them by the &v. Sit
F. L, Br.osse, Ban. and the Rev. Mr. CROSTHIVAITz.
' A trial olcoasideftble 'gift:twice it-expected to enme
on in the Court of Assiltei of Leon, in the course of
August, respecting an assassination Which took place
about nine years ago, at Tombes, in the Canton of Ver.
Mend, on the persons of one Digagny, the proprietor of
the farm of Tomb's; and a beggar, who %s ere both
killed on the farm with-knives, and afterwards thrown
into a well. An inquiry was set on foot at the time,bmt
no clue of the murderers was obtained. Upwards Of
eight years h-d passed over, and the circumstance was
almost forgotten, when PnoVIDENCI, who never safe s
guilt to escape with impunity, raised suspicions in the
mind of the King's Procureur-General. The Procureur
of St. Quentin immediately set an inquiry on foot, and
nearly 80 witnesses were consequently examined. Five
individuals were convicted as accomplices, viz.—Pierre
Manly, aged 50, labourer ; Seraphin Manly, his son,
aged 32, cotton-weaver ; Cesar Trochain, aged 28, la-
bourer; Pierre Xavier Made, aged S 4, turner in wood;
J. B. Jerome Merda, his father, aged 68, formerly a
weaver, all of LesChelles. They had all left their
dwellings ; some were at Paris, others at Charleville and
elsewhere. However, through the exertions of the po-
lice, they were discovered in less ibin 48 hours after.
They have all been arrested,• anerEf a decree of the
Court of Accusation for the Court Royal of Amiens,
referred to the assizes of the department Gf the Aisne
to be judged. It appears thit Manly, the father, was
the instigator of the crime by means of bribery, and
that he and his son, together with Xavier Merda, were
present at the fatal mnment ; that Jerome Merda, the
father, gave every informatiob resaecting the means of
murder, the most expeditious mode of concealing the
bodies, &c. and that Cain Trochain was the assassin.
• The large: ship, the Baron of Renfrew, was safely
launched at Quebec, on the 25th June, at one o'clock in
the sifteinocm. She had, in the attempt, on the Satur-
tiny previous, stopped on her ways, owing to the grease
being consumed by the fire. She went maje,tically
info the water; and afterwards drove up with the flow-
ing tide near the town. Oa the tide ebbing, the Her-
tales tow-boat took her down the channel of S . Law-
rence; North of the Island of Orleans, where she was
anchored a little to the North-west of the anchorage-
ground of the Columbus.
The Baron of Renfrew looks much better in the water
than the Columbus did, her breadth being ten feet
greater. She exactly corresponds, in shape, with the
Columbus p but is, upon the whole, superior in many
respects to her. It is understood that she will not sail
before the end of July.
