CROWN COURT, GALWAY, AUG. 3. EXTRAORDINARY MURDER CASE.  At half-past nine o'clock this morning the Right Hon. Baron Richards, Right Hon. Judge Ball, and George French, Esq., entered the court, and having taking their seats on the bench, the prisoners, Mannion and Cosgrave, were put forward to take their trial for the murder of Bridget Barrett, on the high seas, ou the 10th of September last, by throwing her into the water.  The prisoners having refused to join in their challenges, the trial of Mansion was first proceeded with. From the statement of the case, it appeared that the unfortunate deceased had been intimate with the prisoner, by whom she had a child, and that they were engaged to be married whenever their circumstances would enable them. They were on the best possible terms, and the deceased had sold a cow to enable her to pay the marriage fees. On the 10th of September the poor girl left her home, in company with the prisoner, for the purpose of getting married, and was seen, in company with him and Cosgrave, to enter a boat, and gall down the Bay of Rossnewal. Several witnesses heard a shriek repeated three times, each time growing fainter and fainter, immediately afterwards, and the deceased not having returned to her home, some suspicion was excited. The body of the poor girl was found on the shore in such a mutilated state from the action of the water that identification was impossible; but her sister and other relatives swore positively that the clothing on the body was hers. _ The trial lasted the entire of Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday, when, after an able charge from Judge Ball, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner turned deadly pale, but his lips became firmly compressed at the announcement of his fate. The trial of Cosgrave is postponed till next assizes.  13ALE8 OF CROP, PROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF ITEHDAY• At the sales of crop which have taken place this season, We are Buckingham Palace, Avg. 1. led to understand that there has been generally a keen competi- The Queen was this day pleased to confer the honour of Knighttion, and fair prices have been realised.
