THE BENEFIT OF CLERGY.-Durin

iHE BE1NEFlI or CLEHG R.-Durlng
the late court Of Oyer and Terminer held at New
Castle, this English privilege was unexpectedly
claimed and extended in the case of the notorious
Elizabeth Bachelor, the ringleader and mistress of
la gang which has for sometime annoyed this Be-
trough by systematic of plumber and house
burning. Elizabeth Bachelor had been convicted
|of burning stable with hay in it, belonging to Mr..
John Rumford, and on Saturday the 10th inst the
court had directed or we're about to direct the She
riff to bring her to the bar for the purpose Of passing
sentence OF death, when her counsel Mr.. Brnckle
suggested an opinion that the burning of stable
was clergyable offence. After some conversation
between the Attorney General and Mr.. Brlnckle,
the court adjourned until Monday for the purpose
of hearing the point formally argued The whole
of Monday was occupied in ull and deliberate dis
cussion Of the point, and on Tuesday morning the
court delivered their opinion in favour of the claim.
The sentence upon Elizabeth Bachelor therefore,
instead OF death, was to be branded on the hand,
and to suffer one years imprisonment. The bran
ding was to have been inflicted forthwith, but was
postponed at the suggestion of the Attorney General,
who intimated his intention to carry the case up to
the court of Appeals. For the benefit of incend-
aries and others disposed TO engage in that line, we
have thought it right to state this If any such
should hereafter take it into their heads to burn a
dwelling house barn with grain in it, lie will
surely be hung; if stable out house, the benefit
lOf clergy to his aid and for the first offence
only, saves his neck from the gaIlows.
.LACOB ELLIOTT black man was convicted
at the same court for the murder of John Kean a
lew weeks since in this borough; and on the 9Th
lst. received sentence of death, to be executed OH
The s LIST of December next. There are two indi-
ldnas now in our gaol under sentence of death on
the 8 lst poxmo; and three others waiting their
trials on capital charges.

One day last week Mr.. Seixas the principal Of
fhe PHILADELPHIA Institution for the Deaf and Dumb,
took several of the children under his charge, to
Trenton, and caused them to SO through their
exercises in the presence Of the Governor, Council
and General Assembly Of New Jersey The pro-
fciency his pupils have made, considering that they
have been but four months under his tuition, IS
said to be astonishing; and such interest did the
exhibition create, that it is thought the legislature
of New Jersey will entrust to him the education OF
some OF the deaf and dumb children OF that state
New Jersey contains about l25 of these unfortunate
persons, for the instruction of twelve OF whom, the

An extraordinary instance of incorrupti-
Bic fidelity to Prince Oh rles occurred in
the course of his miserable rambles after
the battle OF Gu loden. A poor cottager.
of the name OF Milan, who was upon prin-
ciple hostile to his cause, and who, on ac
count of severe season, was, with his
family, in state Of starvation, received
the wretched wantierer, and at the hazard
of his life committed depredations to pro-
cure him sustenance, when a reward of
630,ooOlay within his reach Tor delivering
up his guest. dead or alive. The fate Of
this generous being was as singular as his
conduct to the prince. Ina season Of great
scarcity he stole COW to save his family
from dying of hunger, for which he was
tried, convicted, and executed. A little
before his execution he took off his bonnet,
and thanked God, he had never betrayed
trust, never injured the poor, and never
refused~a share of what he had to the
stranger and to the needy.
