JANUARY 14.  The Prisoners having been arraigned. (among .whom was the celebrated Mrs. Georgiana Courser, alias Barrington, for a felony) ' • Stonard, an old man from Aldershot, near Farnham, was tried on a charge of stealing two sacks, containing barley and tailings. A s,trong chain of circumstantial evi• dence was produced, and the property found in .his bed-room was. identified as the pi-operty of_ the ProsecutOr.—Verda, Guilty of stealing one sack. He said he was sixty-seven ycar3 of age, and had three children; and was therefore 'recommended to mercy. —Sentence, to be imprisoned for three. months hard labour.  Mi Wrirrponb; Coroner for Devon, lately took an inquest on the body of Mary Morris, , a young woman of Plymouth Dock, a melancholy instance of suicide. The case -was as follow:—She was betrothed to a young man of Dock, and their banns were out. After this she gave her company to one of the Lancashire sharp-shooters, which so irritated her former betrothed lover,' that he upbraided her with her perfidy ; this she took so to heart; and feeling the force of her ingratitude,'she went home, and. took a strong dose of arsenic, and died in the Most excruciating torments. The Jury,-after taking the case -into consideration; returned a Verdkt of Lunacy. . On Wednesday. moi-ni ng one of the watchmen of Chester, named Boulton; was-found-drowned in one of the locks of the Ellesmere Canal, at •the Tower Wharf. It appears that his lanthorn . was found in the cabin of a fiat, his hat and stick in the graVing-• tibck adjoining, and his rattle swimming rit;lit over the spot where . the body was found : from these circumstances two fiatmen (now in custody) are sus'peeted of throwing him into the lock. An Inquisition was held on the body before the Coroners of this city on Wednesday and Thursday, when a .verdict was gi.Ven o Wiltul. Murder against some person or persons unknown. It is evident that every person, young. and old, should purchase books wherein they are materially, interested. This being the case with respe6,t to the " GUIDE TO HEALTH," which is.
