UtUI,IINA!b UOURT _r(efore Mr. JigticC PARK.) Elizabeth Roberts was indicted for the murder of her male basta rd chils', at the parish of Nortoe.in.Elales, in tbe county of Salop. bhe vas only 19 years of age, and was so much overpoweredl by her feel- ings, as to be scarcely abI to stand at the obar. JMtr. CaOsB ET was about to open the case for the prosecution, when Ur. Justice PAR1 desired that tbe surgeon wtho examined the body of'the child, alleged to have been born of the prisoner, should first be called to state whether, in his judgment, it was born alive. Air. Wlilliams, the surgeon, was accor gly examined, and stated that to the best of his judgmen the child was still-born. The learned JUDGE then directed an acquittal of the murder, but ordered the inquiry to proceed, ii order to ascertain whether the pri- soner concealed the birth. Evidence was adduced that the body of a child was found con. cealed in 4 dung.heAp; bUt there was no proof thAt the prisoner wag the mother. except her having been observed oil t'aat night very ill in a neighbounng hovel. The Jary, under the direction of the learned Judge, returned a general verdict of_Arot Gziduy,. Four lads named Joh"n Fox, WVilliam Fisher, Riclard Boon, and James Boon, were indicted fbr ahighway robbery committed on the person of William Smith, near Shrewsburv, on the 20th January last. The case, however, being supported only by the evidence of an accomplice namedDavies,the learned Judge directed an acquittal. The same prisoners then stood charged witlh burglariouslv break- ing open the house of a poor woman, named Ann Lawronce, on the following night, anid stealing a great number of small articles. The case was proved by the clearest evidence, and the jury foun them all guilty'. In the course of tbe trial, a woman named Bishopd who was callea to preve that she purchased some of the articles from, the prisoner Fisher, ao grossly contradicted the statement which she made before the maristrate, that she was committed tb prison. The prisoners, John Fox and Wi.lliarn Fisher, were then tried for stopping Jobn Griffiths on the highway on Christmas-day, and rob- bing him of a silver watch. The case was proved by Davies, theac complice, whose testimony, however, in this instance, was strongly corroborated by unexceptionable witnesses. Alr. Justice PARK ordered the four prisoners to be placed at the bar; and, strongly expressing his horror at the svstem of atrocity which they had parsued, said that he should postpone passing sen.- tence, in order that he might seriously consider whether iie was not compelled, by his duty, to leave them all for execution.

The elections of the smaell colleges, or colleges of arron- dissement, in France,are terminated; and strange to say,only 16 opposition candidates have been returned out of the -number, 25,, composing nearly two-thirds of the whole Clhamnber. The remaining portion of the Deputies are elect- ed by the colleges of department or great colleges, and as these are composed of a fourth part of the electors who pay the highestdirect taxes, there is little chance that the 172 Tmembers whlich they return will contain so great a propor- tion of Liberals. Probably the whole of the opposition in the representative body in France will thus be limited to about 20 or 2 members. Neither MANUEL nor LA FAYETTE, with all their popularity-nor the ST. AULAtaSs and TEnRAIuX, With all their moderation-nor the LAFITTES an(l DrLEsS9RTS, with all their wealth, have been able to succed against the Inanceuvres of GoveTn- rment and the corrupt agency of the local administrations. It is not our business to interfere in the internal disputes of other nations, and therefore we shall abstain from pur- sidng the subject any further than merely to state it as a notsrious fact, that there has not been, on the present oc- casion, the shadow of a free election in France-that it. is a nockery and an insult to the understanding to say that. the people have hid any share in returning their representa- tives-that the Electoral Colleges, with their whole apparatus of Presidents, Scrutators, Secretaries, and baL- lot-boxes, havc been nothing but instruments of de- 3usion-and that the Minister might have appoint- ed the Deputies, as well as announced their nomi- nation, by a telegraphic deapatch. The French Cabinet may now exercise nearly as absolute a sway under the sanc- tion of a representative system, as the Ministers of BU'ONA- yARTE did without one, with this difference only-tl}at in the formner case, the general intelligence of the people -sup- plies 2 check on the exercise of power, whereas, in the lat- ter, there was no limit to the exercise of power but the feart of revolt.

The French papers of Saturday have arrive4: the most importznt part of their contents is the following paragraph in the Rtoile:- [From the Etoile, dated Sunday, Miarcn 14.] " PARIS, MiARCH 13. A report haa been spread at L-ondon that a Eutopean Congress ws to assemble, which would discuiss the affairs of South America; and this news, whicil seems to have caused some rensation, is, how. ever, quite devoid of foundation, as well as that of the illness of the Emperor Alexander, which was spread at the same time. anti to which a Parisjournmal ttempted even yesterday to give credit. The Kin' of Spain has been pleased to grant the title of In. fant of Spain to the Infant Don Sebastian of Portugal." The Etoik is vory angry at an assertion of another French paper, the Constitutionnel-that England is superior on the ocean to all <rcher Powers taken together. " The number of vessels," says the gtike, I that rot in ports do not constitute naval power. Wre must know whcther ;li thesr large mosses of wood are in a condition to take the sea; whether they are not. for exanmple, attacked by the dry rof, which, accordins to a declaration recentlv made in Parliament, dlevours the finest ships of the British navy: It rnust be known, aeiore all, whethrr thc State which prints yearly so poinpous a list of iUs ships of war, hwas the number of men necessarv to arm then). " At the neriod of the war of Amerimn Independence, Great Bri- tainm ade unheard-ofefforts, she cotild, nevertheless, never equip more than 34 sail of the line out of 160 that her list was composed of, and Yet she reckoned In her fleet a considerable nuimber of Danish.

The capital of the Company is S,000,0001. sterling, to be divided intd -0,000 shares of 1001. each; and its concertis are to be cdnduced by five Presidents and sixteen Directors, who will unitedUy form the Board of Direction. These persons have been se- lected from the principal mercantile and banking firms of the city. In addition to the usual objects of such institutions, namely, fire andI life assurances, it is intenlded that this C(ompany shall also grant life annuities, endowments for infants, and benefit policies, itt all cases connected with life contingencies ; neither will thege transactions be confined to Great Britain alone, but through the connexions with the cotitiaent of those merchants with whom the plan has origilated, will be gradually eytended over the whole of E:urope, in the greater part of which the advantages arising from societies of this nature are entirely unknown!, The shareholders have been called upon for a deposit of 101. on each share, and it is further intimated, that in all probabi- lity no other dew-and will be inade but in qrder to excite the Droper exertion on the part of sie 5hareholders in pro- moting the general prospenry of the concern, it is stipu- lated that eich of them shall effect an insurance equal to the amount of his subscription. No individual, with tbe exception of the Presidents, Directors, and Auditors, is permitted to hold more than fifty shares, until after the 235tA of Mareb, ]825. The annual profits, it is proposed, atter payment to the proprietors of niot less than three, or mnre than five per cent. per annnm, by way of interest on their deposits, shall be applied in the folloiving manner, viz.-a suim equal to five per cent. thereon shall be laid out in the purchase or re(lemption of shares, provided they can be purchased or redeemed at or below a premium of 901. a share ; and a farther sum, equal to 15 per cent. thereon, in paying up the remaining 90 per cent. on the shares, until the whole ca- pital shall be realized the remaining 80 per cent. to be in- vested in public securities in the names of trustees, and divided every five years between the proprietors and the holders of policies.

Yesterday a numerous and respectable congregation assembled as the new church, in the parish of St. Giles Camberwell, te witnest the cerermony of its consecration by the Bisbop of Winchester. No person was admitted without a ti}tCet; and every necessary arrange- mint was made and observed to prevent confusion. The interior of the churcli is lightsome, spacious, and commodious ; and is fitted up in a very tasteful style, combining clegance and simplicity. The I tones of the organ are peculiarly fine, and were done ample justice to by the execution of Mr. Adams, wlho opened it. It afforded a suitable accompaniment to the delightful singing of Illr. Goulden .Mr. hawes, and the yeung gentlemen of his Alajesty's Chapel Royal. At about eleven o'clock, the Bishop arrived, attendel by his chaplain, and was receivetd at the church-door by the surrogate, the registrar, the vicar, churchwardens, &c.; and being conducted by them into the vestryvToom, his lordship having there put on his episcopal robes, proceeded from thence to the communiotn table, where the vicar presented to him the petition of the parishioners, praying his lordslip to consecrate the church. The petition having been read by the registrar, the Bishop, in compliance with its prayer, proceet(letivith the consecration; andwalkedin procession, attended as betfre, downi the middle aisle, and returned the same way, repeating alternately with the clergy the 24th Psalm. The surrogate then prcsented the Bishop with the deed of conveyance, after whinch his lordsthip pronounced an address to the congregation, and offered up some prayers ; after which the surrogate read the sentence of consecration ; which the bishop having signed and pro- mrulged, his lordship commaanded it, together with the petition and deeds, to be registered among the muniments of the oflice. The minister then commenced morning prayers; and when the ser- vice and scrtnon were over, all who did not receive the holy commu- nion left the church. CONSECRATION OF ST.
