FEMALE HEROISM.—The vicinity of Chester has recently been the scene of a succession of burglaries and robberies. The sufferers by these depredations arc, Mr. Clubb, of Newbold; the Misses Cox, of Newton, two maid( n laidies, who live on their property and farm in a small way ; and Mr. Tracy, of St. Anne's-street, Flocker's Brook. The Misses Cox displayed great courage in repelling the burglars. They were awoke by the villains presenting themselves at their room door, one of whom forcibly opened it, and immediately levelled a pistol at the sister who was in bed next the door; the object of his attack fainted away. The other sister, alarmed at the noise, rushed out of bcd, and attacked the ruffians at the door, and etruek the man who had the pistol, which she knocked out of his hand. A struggle ensued, and the lady actually succeeded in thrusting the fellow out of the room, She, however, ultimately became exhausted, and was forced back into the room, being so dreadfully beaten with the pistol oa the arms, shoulders, and face, as to be incapable of further resistance. The noise of the struggle awoke the servants, one of whom escaped down stairs, and the other laid hold of one of the men by the arm, and said, " For God's sake don't murder the ladies." At this time Miss Cox Was bolding parley with her assailants to save her life by giving up her property. The servant who had left the hotoe succeeded in reaching a cottage immediately adjacent, occupied by an elderly man named Frith, a shoe. maker, having on no other garment than her chemise. Miss Cox was on the point of giving up her purse, containing a considerable amount in gold, as the condition on which their lives should be spared; but at this criais voices were heard outside. which fortunately proved to he those of the servant and Frith.

STANDARD.—The pressure of political affairs upon our attention, and the difficulty in the present excited state of the public mind, of drawing attention to any but the one absorbing topic, have hitherto prevented us from noticing, with the reprobation it deserves, the wholesale murder of no fewer than sixteen British subjects by a portion of the crow of the American emigrant ship William Brown. A case of more frightful atrocity has rarely, if ever, come to our knowledge. From the details which have already been published in our columns, it appears that the above-named 'vessel, freighted with British emigrants, and bound from Liverpool to Philadelphia, encountered an iceberg on the 19th of April last, in 43 degrees 39 minutes latitude N., and 49 degrees 39 minutes longitude W., from the effects of her collision with which she sank two hours afterwards. Before she went down, the captain, mate, a lady, and five sailors, had contived to get afloat in the jolly-boat ; and the second mate, eight of the crew, and thirty-three of the passengers had embarked in the long-boat. Threeand-twenty souls perished with the ship. The fate of the selfish and dastardly captain, who would only receive as many hands into the jolly-boat as were necessary to man her, is not known. He bore off for Newfoundland, and is supposed to have perished with all on board.' The long-boat still remained ; but the ruffians who had the management of her, finding that she made her way very slowly through the water, "consulted together," and came to the resolution of murdering no fewer than sixteen of their passengers for the purpose of relieving her; so that, as the leading miscreant coolly says, "on counting our "passengers sixteen were found missing," that number, chiefly helpless women and children, having been thrown overboard ! These diabolical wretches have since attempted to justify their conduct by affirming that most of the passengers were nearly dead from cold and exhaustion ; but if such had been the case, it would only have aggravated their crime. One little child, we are told, begged of its murderers to be permitted to say his prayers before he was consigned to the deep, but was savagely refused, and was one of their earliest victims. The survivors, consisting of a few Women and the assassins, were relieved the next morning by the Crescent packet-ship, from Havre de Grace ; to which port they were subsequently convoyed. Instead, however, of detaining these villains, to take their trial for murder, the American and English Consuls, after having examined them privately, are said to have discharged them without even a reprimand. The name of the English Consul is Gordon ; that of the American Beasley. Nay, so tender-hearted were these philanthropic gentlemen towards these merciless miscreants, that they actually sent them away with written certificates that they had not been guilty of any act " deserving of censure." We have not words at our command wherewith to characterise such conduct.  LAW INTELLIGENCE  SHERIFFS' COURT, June 1.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.*On Thursday evening, about nine o'clock,. an attempt was made by a Jew to murder N. BrOwn,,a42uaker,a very infirm old man, residing near' the Marsh Gate Turnpike, Lambeth. The fellow had 'been in the habit of dealing .with Mr. Brown, who keeps a broker's shbp, and a few days before Mr. B. .lent him 21. which he was to repay on the Thursday : on that day he came to the shop, with three or four 'other Jews, And wanted to borrow. 31., in addition. Mr. B. refused to lend Min any more. About nine o'clock at night he came again, just after IV r. B. had closed his shop, and after some alteration drew out a knife and cut axis throat. Mr. B. 'Med Out " Murder !" and- Mr. Miller, a neighbour, with some of his men, came to his assistance, burst open the door, and secured the 'villain, who was conveyed to prison. Mr. Brown was found lyiNig on the ground, with his throat dreadfully cut, and bleeding profusely : he was conveyed to a Surgeim's : fortunately the villain had missed his. windpipe, the wound was sewed up, and he was taken and put to bed in the house of Mr. Bodenham, the Crown, corner of the Marsh Gate. It is supposed the villain's Obi ta was plunder, as well as murder, as Mr. Brown re. sided alone.  Ft tc e.—On Thursday night, at a late hour, as Mr. POATER, who plays at the Royal Amphitheatre, at Westminster Bridge, was returning home down the Westminster Road, he observed a blaze-like the furniture of a bed burning, at a pawnbroker's, who is generally called Piro, flick. Conceiving the peril the persons must be in, he endeavoured to alarm the family, but in vain, and his humanity prompted him to burst open the outer door, and rush up stairs, where he found the bed and window curtains in flames, and the mistress of the house, and a child of six years old, in the bed asleep. He awakened Mother with difficulty, and ran down stairs with the child in his arms ; the peril may be conceived when his clothes were partly burned, and wholly singed in getting into the Road. The mother, who.is lusty and heavy, as well as advanced in life, also got out, though much hurt. The fire was soon after gut under, after consuming a number of pledge► as well as nit articles.  A Representation which keeps the mind alive to the fame of 40 many iiitlSttiOLll Heroes who have adorned the Annals of this Country, must prove highly gratifying to every beholder : this is done most effettually in the Knights of the Garter at the Royal Circus, by its correct and animated display of that magnificence which attended the late Instal. lotion at Windsor. The whole is admirably aided by the introduainn of several highly Comic Cha. raeters, together with a very pleasing Duet, 'seve. rat appropriate Songs, which are well executed ; and the truly superior Dancing of the Giroux's ; the Scenery also, which is finely executed, deserves to be particularly noticed.

SHOCKING M.ITRDER IN BELFAST BARRACICEL—A tressing occurr( ;rice has recently taken place in the barracks at Belfas t. Corporal Robert Brown, of the Grenadier detachm el it of the 12th Regiment, at present lying in Belfast was brutally murdered the other evening by Robert = El :enry O'Neill, a private belonging to the Light Company• of the same detachment. The facts of this melancholy• outrage, which has caused the most intense excitemen t in town are as follows :—lt appears that, shortly be f ore nine o'clock, Corporal Brown, the unfortunate vic t,im ; Robert O'Neill, the alleged murderer ; and fotur others, were in one of the barrackrooms, prepari a g to go to bed. They had been conversing togethe r apparently on the most friendly terms, and were about , to retire to rest, when O'Neill, at a moment when th ) deceased was leaning over a table, writing, lifted l r is carbine, which he was apparently engaged in cleani a ,g, took deliberate aim, and before any effort could be made to prevent it, lodged the ball with which his musk:• et was charged in the left breast of his unsuspecting v 1 ctim. The ball struck the deceased below his right e re, carried away a portion of his nose, and entered his left breast, causing almost instant death, as the unfortu o ate sufferer lingered only till half-past ten o'clock, wt 1., an he expired. O'Neill, who immediately ran down the s.l Lairs into the square, with the view of effecting his es ( 'ape, was pursued by one of the men present in the ro cam and arrested before he could accomplish his purp( n;e. The only cause that can be assigned for the perpeti ration of this diabolical outrage is, that the deceased had, 4a, day or so before, reported O'Neill as guilty of some misconduct, and who had him confined to barracks for three days. O'Neill, it is asserted, had more than one *, been heard to say that he would be revenged. The ( beceased was an Englishman, aged twenty, and, we believ 13, much respected by the officers and his comrades for his orderly and inoffensive conduct. O'Neill, is a )3 ;elfast man, who was some time in a butcher's shop in I I. 3reules-street, and lately enlisted into the regiment. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body of the murdere c 1 man, and after the examination of several witnesses, t to coroner, addressing the prisoner, asked him if he had iznything to say ? Prisoner—No ; only I am guilty. (5_ k ,nsation.) The coroner then addressed the jury briefly upon the distinction between murder and manslaughter ; and observed, that from the threats used by the prisone: r during the day premeditation was to be inferred, and 1,1 ,e crime could not be reduced to manslaughter. Th tE , jury found a verdict of wilful murder against O'Neil 1.. The coroner then committed him for trial at the neN :1 , assizes for the county of Antrim. [
