YORK ASSIZES.  Nadel& weduaaday, Thomas Malkin, . murder br wiltnNuarder Esther Ititlin, wu man aud  her masters, the Meurs. Jenny, that it has been necessary to remove her to a madhouse.  The following is an extract from a letter received from Captain Morris, of the ship Marion, which arrived at Demerary on the 6th ult. :—" On the 12th of October last, I had the good fortune to save 33 distressed persons, by taking them out of an open boat. They had been going from the Island of St. George to that of St. Michael's (both of the Azores,) and were blown off by S.W. gale; they had I been eighteen days at sea, and for ten days out of that had not tasted water. The owner of the boat fortunately could speak English. He entreated me to save him and those who were with him by taking them on board; and feeling lyeelf bound by humanity to assist them, I took It on myto do so.  tint°  d guilty. The young of the Methodist eo” _ .  aged 17, charged with the found guilty. The young and young woman were both members of the Methodist connection. They attended the same Sunday-school ant the same singing-class at the chapel. This had produced an intimacy between them, that intimacy had ripened Into courtship, and at the time of the poor girl's death they had been keeping company about two months. On the evening of the Bth October, a whistle was heard In the garden, and the girl went out; and in a few minutes afterwards was found in the garden-walk, stabbed through one lung, and her throat cut. The prisoner was observed standing .4th. gate with his lover • second or two before, and was afterwards seen running away from the spot. When taken 'into custody the next day, he denied having been near the spot. Tbe evidence was wholly circumstantial. On being asked why sentence of death should not be passed, the prisoner, with much self-possession, addressed the Court :—" I can truly say I am innocorit of the orime. It seems rather difficult to say that lam guilty. I had nothing found on me—no blood.' The prisoner then continued with some emotion—" I really can't talk for myself; but I never had the thought of doing my lover any injury—never in my life; but always thought to do the best for her, and never thought any ill of her." He was sentenced to be banged.  -We learn that aa collected in tution—a good  e and elefor the Cale. the end of last et the utmost • it is painted dasoned the to two parts nary mirrors. and easy antiwith ro morocco; room is left  forms • hangings are are ornamenend, a short t out to enjoy  THURSDAY MORNING, Die. 28.  There is very little of consequence in the London morning papers of yesterday to add to the latest intelli. gence which is already given in other parts of to-day 's paper. The Hungarian news respecting the taking of Presburg by Prince Windiscbgratz, and of Wieseiberg by Baron Jellachich, is confirmed. Vienna, Berlin, and Pans are all quiet. In London yesterday Consols opened strongly: but about noon slightly declined in consequence of news -of a fall of one per cent, on the Paris Bourse. They closed firmly, however, with a slight advance. Shares suffered a trifling decline OD the fall of Consols, but also rallied, and closed firm, with an upward tendency.
