What man else knows, or cares to know, the
value of the camels hair shawl, spread so care

BoARD.-The London Times, noticing the result
of the "marine" trial, says :--"The Liverpool
jury has done Justice to the case of the Muir
der on the High Seas, tried on Thursday. The
spite of the Captain Of the Martha appears to
have fastened on Rose, in the first instance,
partly because he made some unusual demon
strations of good spirits. He was fond of sing
ing and sang On Sunday morning, 'Oh let us
be joyful, upon which the Captain, with the
observation, IN make you sorrowful, thrust an
iron bolt into his mouth and kept it there for an
hour and a half He was day after day whipped,
beaten with ropes end and put in irons. The
Captain trained his dog to fly at him, and with
so much success that the mvster and dog acted
in concert, and tie master whipped while the
dog bit. The dog bit off pieces Of flesh. Tho
man was put in a dry water barrel, described as
small one, and rolled about the deck. He was
kept in this barrel from 12 at noon to l2 at
night, only breathing fresh air through the
bung-hole. We cannot describe other punish
mcnts which do indeed illustrate the cpicu can
ism of cruelty. With all the fertility and inge-
nuity torture, cruelty was still unapp. ascd.
What was to be donep The Captain said.
Rose, wish you would either hang or drown
yourself The wretched man, in despair, re-
piled, Il wish you would do it for me- upon
which the Captain hanged him. We say hang
ed him, because the man hung for two minutes,
was taken down with his face black, eyes pro-
tipding out of their sockets, and froth coming
out Of his mouth, and died day or two after"

friends producing volume of miscellanies under
the title Of Prose and Verse, Jcrrold bantercd him
about it, as prose and Worse" A tedious Old
gentleman meeting Jerrold in Regent street, and
having stopped him, posed himself into button
holding attitude while preparing to grapple.
Well, Jerrold, my dear boy, what is going on ?"
"I am" quoth the wit, instantly shooting off
along the pavement. A dull foreigner was in
dulging in arapturous description of the beauties
of the Prologue. "As to one in particular
(naming he esong) was quite carried away"
Is there ybody here that can sing 2" said
Jcrrold Somebody told Jerrold that George
Robins, the auctioneer, was dead; "and, Of
course" added the gentleman, his business
will go TO the devil" "Oh then, he IL get it
again." said the wit.
