New ()ALBANS, Dec. 24.—Accordirsg to tho old law.
" variety is charming." In Maims to most loam
which contribute to the gratification of oar testa sod
passions, this is doubtless tree; but we beg leave le
suggest the recent sudden change in the weather as •
very
.unpl t proof that this, like all other gamed
positions, has its exceptions. On Tharday night was
found the heat extremely oppressive. !Nokias wader
its debilitating influence, with the impatience mad dis-
content'which mark frail human nature, we invoked
Heaven for cooler b , and oer prayers were heard.
Rough from the north they bare come Winton., eio.
hearing on their icy wings those frozen delights white I
impart such pleasure to the lads and lasses of New Rag-
land.
About nine o'clock on Saturday morning, wa saw el
man lying. io a tolerably public street, who bad howls
death during the previous night.
We understand that another miserable wretch was
found in the street on the same monde& who had p..
rished in the same way.
During Saturday we had a slight shower of hail; sad
yesterday we saw ice in lobs nearly as inch thick.
NSW foss, JAe.22—Tess FULTOK hisawsw.—Tbis
market was opened yesterday, and it was oroamootod
with the handsomest exhibition of Beef. Mottos, Pork.
&c. ever presented to the public. We passed through
it in company with I Fentlemeo from Romps, who
were unanimous in the opinion, that they had sever
seen any thing of the kind to equal it, in all reepeets.—
The crowd was great; and the butchers deserve great
credit for their pains and expense in preparing such a
rare and rich exhibition for the occasion.
We wish we could spare room to go more info detail,
for the gratification of distant readers. All isor,feliow
citizens have an opportunity of viewing es spip#ll es-
tablishment, and judging for themeless.
One thing is worthy of remark, as a etreseeetesee
of the kind has never before occurred. OM am
appeared in market with nicety-two pales of Am ssao-
vas back Ducks, which he brought in a wages from
the Susquehaonah. They were selling from IS to IS
shillings a pair.
We saw very hoe venison from the most wester.
parts of this state as cheap as mutts.; sad It would
really appear that the most distant inhabitants of tide
state, had exerted every nerve to add rarities as the
occasion of opening one new market.
It is gratifying to learn, that those misetale
wretches, commonly called Flymarket Shoodur, will
not be permitted to infest the Fulton Marko. This
regulation will induce the ladies of our Alliy to at-
tend, and strangers to visit, this great depot of good
things. We should really be glad to as the ladles
attend market, as is the fashion to Philadelphia.

LONGETITT IN GEORGIA.
Airs. Phoebe Johnson, aged 109 years, is atiU livise
in Columbia coenty. She came with her hasher
this country in 1732, and was the first white female
that landed in Georgia. Our information Is derived
from her son-in-law ; and he mentioned to on, that the
old lady intends removing with him and his family bo
Alabama, in the course of a few weeks.

piaistaaao of bill.

I asked him lose
he was a relation

of mine, and that he wanted to borrow a mad am
of my son. He showed me a Bill of Exchange foe
91. 10%. drawn by himself, and purporting to be ale:
cepted by Mr. George Middleton, of Mennen, is
ner. I took hold of the Bill and then lent bin a
pound note, and asked him if the Bill was accepted
he answered, yes; Mr. Middleton was his trustee nail
had sent him the Bill. He then borrowed aastliai
pound note, and said he would return the salary ea
the following morning. He wished me to give Mai
the Bill back, but I declined, until I got the mosey.
About fire o'clock the next day, be called 'pie,
merely to say that lie would bring the mosey is as
hour. My son said to him, " Yon are a base fellow
to use my name in order to swindle my father out el
21." To which the prisoner replied, "• 1 don't meet
to do any thing of the kind, bat shall bring the
money; as I have won some of several people at the
races."

William Gibson, son of the last witness, accompeatiesi
the prisoner to Mr. Elgin, druggist, of whom be said
he could borrow the money.
Edward Elgin, stated, I as a druggist in Yerk ;
when the prisoner came to me he said his name was
Hanle; that I must recollect him as he was apprentice'
to Mr. Bowman, surgeon, of !upon; that he had got
into a confounded scrape. I gave Mr. Gibson a ►ill
last night, which turns out to he a forgery. I want
you to lend me 2/. to pay Mr. Gibson, and then all
will be settled. I refused ; aid he was accompanied
back to Mr. Gibson's. I followed Lim, and when is
Mr. Gibson's parlour he said that he both duses,tise
Bill and wrute the accept nce. t
Michael Aliddleton.—.lry father's name is Owe
Middleton ; he was at Darlington, and is a tanner.—
The indorsement is sot his hand-writing,l believe it
is John !kyle's. I have known his several years; my
father is his trustee.

Lordship (for Mr. Jostle. BATLEY) summed
and left it to the Jary to decide whether the pri-
toner had tendered the Bill with intent to induce Mr.
tlibson to advance money upon it, in which ease he
would be guilty ; or whether be merely produced It
(not intending to pay it) to cause Mr. tlibson to con-
sider him worthy of confidence, and to induce him to
lend him the money on his own personal credit.
The Jury found hits aunty, and he immediately re-
ceived sentence of deatli, but was told that he would
be recommended lb bit'Srajtsty's mercy.
The privner is only of aze, of good ap-
pearance, and of respectable connections.

Jetties, swearing rearrest' against him if be would

unfortunate girl
II calamity was
brought Into mart, bat was se overwhelmed by the
singularity of her situation, as to be unable for some
time to give her evidesoe.
After the evidence for the promotion was closed,
several witnesses were called for the prisoner, who
gave hint a good character as a peaceable and good
tempered man.
Mr. Baron Ostia)s summed up the evidence with
the greatest minuteness, charging them, that if the psi-
senor had bad no previous malice, and the unfortunate
affray in which the deceased lost his life arose from a
sudden provecadoe, the primmer could only be foiled
guilty of manslaughter: but that if the prisoner
having previous malice (which was to be judged of by
his borrowing a knife, and sharpoolog it) sought this
occasion to pick a quarrel with the deceased, who had
supplanted him io the affections of the young woman.
and had leis la wait for that purpose, the prisoner
would be guilty of murder, though the deceased was
the first aggressor in striking a blow. The intention
of the prisoner upon the question of malice was to be
judged of by his previous conduct : his borrowing the
knife, sharpening it, watching the parties daring the
fair, his subsequentexpressioes, his lying in wait, and
his expeessioes towards the young woman, tending to
provoke the deceased to interpose in her behalf.
The Airy immediately found the prisoner Unapt—.
Death.

The Learned Judge then prontmaced the awful sen-
tence of death, and ordered the prisoner for execution
en Monday newt. The prisoner seemed stubbornly
anmoved daring his trial, and retired from the bar ap-
parently unconcerned. At Romford he was designated
as the " Dandy Cobbler." lie b about twenty-two
years of age. . .
S iTURDAY, PA A lell 16—This dun the Assizes
finished. The Court was occupied !IA cases not fit
for the public eye. Thirteen capital onvicts received
sentence of death. The only unhappy persons left for
execution were, we believe, Deborah Lowden, for ut-
tering a forged bank note for 10/. of the banking firm
of Meters. Sparrow and Co., of Chelmsford ; William
Tarner, for utteriag a forged Bank of England note
for the payment of Si. ; Wro. Arthur Brett, for forging
a cheque for VOL, in the name of his master, Mr. T.
Andrew, the attorney, of Coggeshal, in favour of
M . Chapman, Stevens, and Wood, the London at-
torneys, on the house of Wain. Sparrow and Co., of
Chelmsford ; and Daniel Sayward, for murder. The
other capital convictions were for ordinary statuable
loffences, of frequent occurrences, the circumstances of
which were not remarkable.
