BEAUTIES OF BYRON . 50 . xxxn . " THE C 0 B 3 A 1 B . " The works of our poet are so voluminous , and the " beauties" of his writings so endless , that we should never be able to bring our extracts to a conclusion were we to give but a thousandth part of what we mig ht fairly extract under the above head . In the poem before us , the passages we ought to copy would occupy this column for three or four weeks to come ; but this cannot be , we must confine ourselves to one notice ; and this course we shall pursue with most of the minor poems . Perhaps hereafter we may even cram more than one poem into one week's notice . Brief though our extracts must be , they will afford the reader at least a glimpse of the amazing beauty cf this poem .
" O ' er the glad waters of Are dark bice sea , Our thoughts ai boundleci , and our souls as free , far as the breeze can bear , the billows foam , Survey our empire , uud behold our home ! These are onr realms , no limits to their sway —• Our flag the sceptre all who meet obey . Ours the wild Hie in tuwul : still to range From toil to rest , and joy in ev « ry change . Oh , who can tell ! not thou , luxurious slave ! I / Those soal would sicken a ' er the hearing wave ; Not thou , vain lord of wantonness aud ease ! "Whom slumber sooths not , pleasure cannot please—Oil , who can tell , save he whose heart hath tried , And danced in triumph o ' er the waters wide , The exulting aen « e—the pul » e '« maddening play . That thrills the wanderer of that trackless way I
Let him who crawls enamour'd of decay . Cling to his couch and sicken years sway . Heave his thick breath aud shake hi * palsied head ; Ours—the fresh turf , and not the feverish bed . TThile gasp by gasp lie falters forth his soul , Ours with one pang—one bound—escapes control . His corse may boast iu urn and narrow cave , And they who loath'd his life may gild his grave : Ours are the tears , though few sincerely shed , When Ocean shrouds and sepulchres our dead . For us even banquets fond regret supply In the red cup that crowns our memory ; And the brief hour of joy in danger ' s day . When those who win at length divide the prey , And cry , Remembrance saddening o ' er each brow . How had the brave who fell exulted note . '
MEB 03 A WATCHISG FOB THE COKSA 1 B . Oh ! rnany a night on this lone couch reclined , My dreaming fear with storms hath winged the wind , And deem'd the breath that faintly fann'dtb ; sail The murmuring prelude « f the ruder sale ; Though soft , it seemM the low prophetic dirge , That tuoum'd thee floating ou the savage surge : Still would I rise to reuse the beacon fire , Lest spies less true * hoald let the blaze expire ; And many a restless hour outwateh'd each star , Aud mumiug came—and still than wer ' t afar . Oh ' . how the chill blast on my bosom blew , And day broke dreary on my troubled view , Aud still I gazed and gazed—and not a prow "Was granted to my tears—mj truth—my vow ! At length ' twas noon—I hail'd and West the mast That -mst my sight—it neat ' d—Alas ! itpassed ! Another came—Ob , God I't was thine at last !
THT PASTI . VG or caSB-lD 4 SB MEDOEJ . She rose—she sprung—she clung to his embrace Till his heart heaved beneath her bidden faca . He dated not raue to his that deep-blue eye , "W hich downcast droop'd in tearless agony . Her long fair hair lay floating o ' er his arms , In all the wildness of dishevelled charms ; Scarce beat that bosom where his image dwelt So fall—that feeling seem ' il almost nnfeltl Hai k 2—peals the thunder of the signal-gun 1 It told ' twas sunset—aud he cursed that sua . Again—again—that form he madly press'd Which mutely clasp'd , imploringly caress'd ! And toturing to the couch his bride he bore , One moment gazed—as if to gaze no more ;
Telt—that for him earth held but her alone , Ei » 'd her cold forehead—turn'd—is Conrad gone ! Our remaining extract we give from the concluding portion of the poem , the purity and beauty of -which it were vain to praise . I ^ t the reader turn to the poem , and read for himself the 19 th , 20 th , 21 st , 22 nd , and 23 rd sections of the Third Canto . We must content ourselves with the following lines , picturing Conrad over the dead body o f Medora : — He reach'dhis turret door—he paused—no sound Broke from within ; and all Was night around . He knock'd aud loudly—footstep nor reply Announced that any heard or deemed him nigh ; He knocked—but faintly—for his trembling hand Refused to aid bis heavy heart ' s demand .
The portal opens—' tis a well known face-But sot the form he panted to embrace . Its lips are silent—twice his own essay'd , And fail'd to frame the question they delay'J ; He snatch'd the lamp—ia light will answer ail—It quits his grasp , expiring in the fall . He would not wait for that reviving ray—As soon could lie have lingered there for day ; Bat glimmering -through the dusky corridore , Another chequers o ' er the shadow * d floor ; His steps the chamber gain—his eyes heboid All that his heart believed not—yet foretold ! He turned not—spoke not—sunk not—fix'd bis look , And set the anxious frame that lately shook : He gazed—bow long we gaze despite of pain , And know , we dare not own , ire gaie in vain 1 In life itself she was so still and fair , That death with gentler aipectwither'd there ;
And the cold flowers her colder hand contain'd , In that last grasp as tenderly were strainVt As if she scarcely felt , but feigned a sleep , And made it almost mockery yet to weep : The long dark lashes fringed her lids of snow , And veil'd—thought shrinks from all that lurk'd below—Ok I o'er the eye Death most exerts his might , And hurls the spirit from her throne of light ; Suilcs thi . se Mae orbs in that long last eclipse . But tpares , as yet , the charms around her lips—Yet , yet they seem as they forbore to smile , And wisb'd repose—but only for a while ; But the white shroud , and each extended tress , Long—fair—but spread in utter lifelessness , Which late the sport of every summer wind , Escaped the baffled wreath that strove to bind ; These—and the pale pure cheek , became the bier—But she is nothing—wherefore is he here \ * « » »

Bukiox ' s "Life and Correspondence of David Iiuiue" is the subject of the opening article in this month ' s number of Tail ' s Magazine . J udging by the extracts given in this article , the philosopher does not Appear to great advantage in this wort . We gather fiom this review that Mr . Lcniox objects but little to the scepticism of IIi * me , the philosopher taring been a ¦* * respectable" atheist ! The ' speculative philosopher , who does not directly interfere with the religion of his neighbours , " Mr . Eukios can tolerate : but " the blasphemer , who raises his
Toice offensively and contentiously against what his j fellow-citizens hold sacred , invokes the public wrath , ' and is no just object of sympathy . " From the above , I our readers will be at " no loss to comprehend thej "iiberali-im" of " Joiw lliu . Burtox , Esq ., advo-j caie .

Wicklow , FaiDix . BXTUAORDIN ' AltY SEDUCTION CASE . Mabt Cakuou . t > . John Ladavizb Auabik , ex . Loud Mayor of Dublin . —Thi < was , an action brought by the plaintiff , to recover eorepeusation for the seduction of her daughter , Mary Anne Carroll . Damages were laid at 15000 , and the defendant pleaded " Xot Guilty . " Mr . Dwyer stated the case , from which it appBaredthatin the year 1812 the defendant lived with his father at Clun-laUcm . mtue county of Dublin , at which period he wa » about twenty-one years of age , and seduct-d the plaintiff herself , who was then a young girl residin-- * with her father , who lived in the same neighbourhood " and he had by her three children—a son , who was born
in 1818 ; a daughter , the girl alleged to be seduced in the present action , born in ISii and a third child , also a female , born in 18 * 31 . The defendant , he said , reared this family well and respectably , and educated his eldest daughter in the best manner up to the year 1842 , when he seduced also her from the paths of virtue , and had a child by her in 1 S 43 . The learned gentleman , in conclusion , said he would prove these facts by the unfortunate ' girl herself , and read a number of letters which fftirc written by Mr . Arabin to her . —Mary Anne Carroll , examined by-Mr . Hullestone : I am daughter of the p laintiff . My mother lives in Bride-street , and has lived there for four y « ar * . We lived there ia ISi 2 , during the summer , at the time the occurrence took place , and we lived before that in French-street , and previously in
Cumberlandplace . My father is John L . Arabin . I saw him at mimother ' s place . He always came wherever we were . Mv mother kept no servant iu Bride-street , in 18 J 2 . I had a brother aud sister . He is older and she it younger than I am . I went to school to Miss Lord's , in Stafford-street , and to Mrs . Allen ' s , in Stephen ' s-green . My father paid for my education . He paid Miss Lord , aud £ 2 to Mrs . Alien by one of the witnesses . I used to do the woik in my mother ' s house . My father wanted mc to be a boarder at Miss Lord ' s , but my mother did not wish it , and I was only sent as a day scholar . My father had a country house at Corkagh , near Clondalkin . I was often there . iVhenerer I went to the country he u « ed to bring me into town in his car . He often brought me home from Clarestreet to my mother ' s when it was late . It was his own house iu ClaM-sti-i-er , and his brother , tbeoounsuller , lived
in it . I was frequently in that house . I remember making an appointment with my father , the defendant , iu the year lSiH . I appointed to meet hiir . in Sackvillestrcet , or a little street o 2 Sackvule-street , the name of which I forget . He made that appointment iu my motlier ' s house . The defendant did not teli me what he wanted with me , for he often before met me and brought me to Harries ' , on Wellington-quay , aud other places . I met him , according to the appointment , about fiv « o ' clock in the evening . It was summer time . Mr . Arabia was ia the house when I arrived . He was in thu parlour , and he brought me up to the drawing room . Wo had some conversation ibeie I forget what it was . I don ' t remember much what he said or did ou that occasion . He told me I was bis own property , and he could do what he liked with me . lie did do what he liked with me . No man ever acted as he did on that
occasion , be . 'bre or since . I had a child by Mr . Arabia , which is alive . My mother has it . She is in this town . The defendant told ra » not to tell anybody wbat had occurred , and he sent me home iu a car . I often saw my father after that . I was sever in that house again with him , but he vta * in a house afterwards with me , aud treated me in the same way . He was very sorry for what occurred . He used to call me Mary axd Polly . Ha frequently gave me money , and always gave me presents of money , both before and after this transaction , until lurch * . He often wrote to me since the seduction took place , but never before it . ( The witness here identified the several unsigned letters , which were read by counsel , and swore lb . it thev were in the defendant ' s handwriting . ) The
child 1 had by Mr . Arabin was a female . He often saw and nursed it . I never spoke to him about providing for the child . Upon my oath , the defendant is father of that child . —Cross-examined by Mr . Hatehell : It was in the house or cottage in Bride-street that I was delivered of the child . It will be three years old next June . I had left school at the time I went to the house off Sackvillcstreet . I am certain of It . Mr . Arabin gave me £ 1 to get the child baptized , After I left Glasnevin I went to live with my mother , IfirstsawMr . Walsh , the plaintiff's attorney , since last Christmas ; my mother went to him . I bid her go because I saw his picture in the Mansion-house . ( Great laughter . ) A woman told me that it was his picture , and that he was a good man . My mother wanted to have Mr . Fitzgerald . Mr . Walsh told me that
my dada disliked him , and I heard afterwards from Mr . Dunne that be had been suspended by him . and not allowed to practice in his court . Mr . Walsh has given money to my mother within the last month ; a little . He gave me money also , but it was all my mother . I g « -t my share of it to he sure . ( Laughter . ) I did not get a letter from England upon my oath , a fare days after I want to Glasnevin , from a person named Thompson , but I got a letter every week from my father , with £ l iu it . Elizabeth An-bin , a girl about 12 years old , was then put on the table , and having answered several questions to his lordship to show that she was acquainted with the nature of an oath , was examined by Mr . Coates as follows : —I am a daughter of Mr . Arabin . and sister of the last wit . ness ; the pLiiutiff is my mother . I often saw Mr .
Arabin in my mother ' s house in Bride-street ; I have gone to Mm for money for my mother , and got it ; he paid for my schooling . —John Smith , examined by Mr . Dwyer : I know Wil !" .-ini Murphy . Was the proprietor of No . 12 , New Bride-street , and is so , I think , since S-ptcmber , 1811 . He built the cottage in which the plaintiff resided , and it became occupied by her in September , 1812 , and her two daughters , Mary Anne and Elizabeth Arabin . The inmates of that cottage were all , I believe , well conducted . I never heard anything against them . Mr . Arabin , the late Lord Mayor , paid the rent . He paid it tome last year iu the Mansion-house . I ' gave him receipts for the rent for Mr . Murphy , and put the plaintiff's name in them as paying it . —The plaintiff's case then closed , and Mr , Hatehell , Q . C ., proceeded to address the jury for the defence . He stigmatised the entire case as a foul aud malicuus conspiracy . Mr . Arabin did not , and could not deny , that , when a young man , he had formed a connexion with the plaintiff , lived with htr , and had
some children by her , amongst whom was Mary Anne Arabin ; but he repudiated the atrocious allegation that he was her * eJncer . The true state of the ease was this —it was a conspiracy got up by some underhand party , who urged on the plaintiff to make this charge for the purpose of extortion , and she was easily worked upon from jealousy , for Mr . Arabia , from her conduct , was obliged to discontinue all intercourse with her . She became a person of the most abandoned character , being constantly intoxicated , and in the habit of annoving him in the public street ; so much so that he was obliged to give up rendering her any assistance , and she then commenced her attacks upon him , and accused him of keeping company with a female named Betsy Asking . As to the letters prored to be in his handwriting by the first witness , no doubt they were written by him , but not to h .-r ; for they trere addressed to her mother , Mary , - and weto not shown to be addrested to any one else . Mr . Bollestone replied for the plaintiff . The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— £ 1 , 1100 damages , and 6 d . coits .
IlERTFOBD , SlTDBDAT . Cbasss or MrsniB . —Levi War-nan , aged ' io , was charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , with the wilful murder of his wife , Elizabeth Warman . The evidence against the prisoner was entirely of a circumstantial character , but was of such a description as to leave very little doubt of his guilt . It appear id that lie was a labourer , aud resided at Standen , in this county . The deceased was represented to be a very well-conducted industrious woman ; but the prinoner had some bad connexions , and frequently quarrelled with and ill-used his wife . On the arruiiig of the Kth of August , the deceased bad been to market , and returned home with some little articles she had purchased about seven o ' clock , and the prisoner questioned her as to what had become of some
apples off the trees in the garden . The deceased replied that she knew nothing about t '; cm ; upon which tho prisoner abused her , struck her en the head , and drove her out of the house . She went to a neighbour ' s cottage for protection ; and the prisoner went tbxr « and told her to come out , at the same time making use of various threats towards her ; and , among other observations , be said if she did not come out he would " weed her in the neck-hole , and she should remamber the day and the hour . " The neighbours , seving the temper of the prisoner , adviaed the deceased not to g » indoors until he was gone to bed , and she rawiiued about the house , and was last sren alive , crying in the garden of the cottage . Shortly after this the prisoner sent his daughter , who was the only person in the house at the time , te a beer-shop at some distance , to
fetch him a pipe ; and immediately after she was gone , the prisoner was heard to come down stairs , and go inU the garden ; and he then again returned to the house . When the daughter came back , she fouud her mother lying in the garden , quite dead . An alarm was given , and tbe prisoner went down stairs , and on his seeing the body he exclaimed , "Ah , she is gone , and Cod bless her . " Upon the body being examined by Mr . Packman , a surgeon , at Puckeridge , he could not discover any external mark / violence , but upon opening the head lie discoverd a violent bruise under the skin upon the scalp , which had caused an extensive extravasation of blood , which pressing upon the brain had occasioned the death of the
deceased , and he said he had no doubt the injury was occasioned by a heavy blow with some blunt instrument , such as a stick or a piece of wood . A heavy s tick that was found in tbe cottage of the prisoner was produced by the constable ; and it wag likewise statud that there was a large piece of wood in the prisoner ' .- ; garden , which was used to keep the gate » hut , and which was moved from its place on this evening , and it was suggested that the fatal injury hud been inflicted by means of one or other of tbeje weapons . The prisoner , when called upon for his defence , said , "I never hurt htr ; she must have hit her head against tbe door . " The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter , and he was sentenced to be transported for twenty years .
Highway Robbert . —Charles Hummcrstone , 24 , a well-known London thief , was indicted for a robbery with violence , upon Joshua Lillcy , on the Queen ' s highway , and taking from him fourteen sovereigns ; and Lee Uucklacd Wade , 24 , wa « indicted for leloniouslv inciting and counselling the Other prisoner to commit the offence . Thechcuiustauwi ofthe case were these : —The prosecutor was a farmer , and on the evening of the iilst of December he was rtluraia ^ borne from market in lis cart , when he was attacked bj five mell s < lliu . „ f whom jumped ruto the carl , aud held him while the others riaed

his pockets , and robbed him of the amount mentioned . The prisoner Hummerstone pleaded guilty . The only evidence against the oilier prisoner wag an extraordinary conversation which took place between him and Hummerstone , tthiU 'hey were locked in separata cells , bui within hearing of each other . The conversation referred to was proved by Barnes , an inspector of tbe Herts constabulary , and was to the following effect : —Hummtrstone began the conversation by calling out for " Buckey , " and asked him where they " pinched" ( took ) him , and he replied at Cambridge . Hummerstone then said he was quite sure they would pinch him , for they were all sei-n on the road together . Buckey then asked Hummerstone vwhatbemeantto " patter" ( his defence ) , aod he replied that he should say he wtmt to a public house , where the
«« sploder" ( witness ) was . and had tnopots of beer , and that he overtook the other men by accident on the road . The prisoner Hummerstone then told the other prisoner that while he wa s in the cage he hearda respectable man say , ¦ that the bloke' ( prosecutor ) could not , and would not rap to any of them , and that he hadbettfr lose the fourteen ' quid' than have to pay £ 50 or £ G 0 , whichit would costto gut them lagged . " He added , " If Cheeky is taken it will be the worst for me . " Cucky replied , * ' nonsense , keep to one story , if I had not don « so I should have been ' cohered' ( transported ) long ago . " Hummer-Stone then said , " If I get my liberty again , you will not catch me in a chuck' ( highway-robbery ) with any of the home ones' ( country thieves ) again . " Bucky then said , " I ai ' nt afraid of my Poll ' s cracking , for she does not know anything only what you told hw on the road , and I told her not to know any of you . " Huramerstone replied to this , « ' I should be-r—glad to taki-Jseven ' shekel '
( years ) for this , aud glad of the chance . " Bucky said , " You begin to duck , but you will be square enough . I dont think any of you will be stuck to . " Mo then asked whether they didn ' t have a split » Hummerstone said "Yes , Blood and Cheeky collared the ' prad' ( horse ) , and I jumped up behind the chaise and gothold of the 'bloke ' s ' coUar , but the . drag shook about so that I lost my hold . " Buckey then a « ked what time they gothouie . and Hummerstone replied " About twelve o ' clock , andBlood and Nutty went away with the'rowdy . ' I was a b——fool for not sticking to the wike" ( booty ) . —Mr . Baron Alderson , there being no other material evidence , said there was no doubt that the prisoner Wade was perfectly wellaware of all thu circumstances of the robbery , but the ovidence was not sufficient to make out the specific charge in the indictment .. Wade was consequently acquitted , and the other prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life .

follows within twelve hours . A tongue such as the di . c « ased had—dry and parched—is a symptom of typbu « fever . In tiie last stages of typhus tbe griping at the bid clothes is a very common symptom . I have never kno « n of any mistakes iu the delivery of the medicine sent to the Portland Anns . Arsenic is kept in my shop—it is nhite . There is none of a slatc-eolour . Calomel is m « . tallic . The Srst packet the deceased got had from two to two and a half grains in each powder . In severe cases of cholera sixty grains have been taken with im . punity . It is in itsolfa metallic irritant poison . It would produce salivation . If taken in large quantities it would produce vomiting and purging , and inflammation of the stoimich with the consequent symptoms . —George t ' ringle , apprentice to Mr . Creigbton , at Morpeth , staled that in
the latter end of October he sold some arsenic to a young man about twenty-five years of age . It was an ounce . Could not say it was tbe prisoner . . The arsenic was wrapped up in blue paper , and the word , poison written on it . —William Embleton stated that Morpeth horse fair was on Saturday , the 23 th October . Was in Mr . Creighton's shop that evening . Thinks it was between darkening and six o ' clock . Recollects a man coming in to get arsenic . To the bestof witness ' s belief itwus the prisoner .

Found him in his brother ' s house at Hutton ' s-yard , Pilgrim-street . Told prisoner he wanted him . Charged him with having poisoned bis father . He said ho knew all about it . Took him away to Morpeth . Ou the road asked him if it was correct he had got the poison at Creighton ' s , He said it was , and he had told Weallens all about it . That ho had left the
poison at the Portland Arms with Julia Goulsou . He said they would tiud part of the powder near tbe top of the Helm on tbe hill turn . He said he flung it into » large bush . —Robert Hawdon : I am a surgeon at Mor . peth . On the 10 th of December I made a post mortem examination of tho body . The gullet was my much inflamed , as also the stomach . In oue part it was in a state of mortification . I also examined the small bowels , they were also much inflamed . The other parts of the body were healthy . The mortification was the cause of death , and was produced by some acrid mineral poison . Arsenic w . mld produce these appearances . I took away the stomach and its content- * . The latter 1 put into apliial and delivered it to Mr . Creighton , the chemist , on the 10 th of December . —William Crvmhton : I am a
surgeon and apothecary and practical chemist at Morpeth . I analysed tbe concents of the stomach . They would about till a wine-glass . The liquid looked like coffeegrouts . Tbe morning after I received it I tested it li , \ Marsh ' s test . The principle of the test is to generate hydrogen gas in a fluid suspected to contain arsenic . Having produced some hydrogen gas with pure di * tillcd water , I tested the gas by holding a clean plate over the flame while it was burning . It showed no trace of arsenic . I then took one half of the contents of the stomach and put it in . The gas then produced a distinct arsenical spot , I then tried the same test on a known solution of arsenic , and obtaiued a precisely similar spot . 1 then tried if tbe metallic crust orspotso produced were volatile . It passed away by the heat of the spirit lamp , which is characteristic of an arsenical deposit . 1 tried to experiment on the other half of the contents , and the gas was accidentally dissipated by the assistant
moving the apparatus . The parcel shown me by n higham contained arsenic . I experimented on the stomach , but could trace no arsenic . —Dr . Glover stated that hearing the evidence given , and supposing the account of the symptoms correct , he made no doubt the death was produced by arsenic . — Cross-examined : Would prefer Reinsch ' s test for arsenic , producing a black stain on copper . I should not have been perfectly satisfied with Marsh's test , without testing tbe spot , I should hare expected to lind arsenic iu tbe substance of the stomach , except on a particular hypothesis , —Henry Glassford Potter gave a similar opinion as to the cause of the death . —Mr . Matthews addressed the jury for the defence . —His Lordship summed up the cv . so tilth great care . His charges occupied nearly two hours . —The jury , after biing absent about fifteen minutes , returned a verdict of Guilty , with a recommendation to mercy . —His Lordsfiip , iu a most impressive address , passed on the prisoner f-ciuence of death iu the usual form .
Fmdat . Manslaughteu . —Selby Green was indicted lor the manslaughter of Ralph Parker . The prisoner , with one of his companions , was , in the latter part of September last , in the eating-house of a person of the name of Thomson , in the I'uddiiig-cltare , iu tho town of Newcastle . It was between twelve and one o ' clock at night . Tbe prisoner and his companion were at supper . The deceased , who , with several others , had been rather disorderly in the street , entered the house with the intention apparently of creating a disturbance . ^ They did not order anything for themselves , but , entering the box in which the prisoner was sitting , snatched the meat off the plate oi
the parties . The prisoner got up and asked what that was for , on which the deceased struck him in the face with his open hand . The prisoner had the knife iu lib hand with which he was eating his supper , and struck the deceased in the left eye . The deceased immediately fell , the knife remaining sticking iu the wound . The prisoner seemed much shocked at what had occurred , and assisted in removing the knife , which required considerable force to extract it . The deceased was taken home , and lingered for some days , when he died . Verdict , Guilty . His Lordship , in consideration of the prisonxr having been in custody since the 1 st of October , senfenced him to be imprisoned one calendar month .
Belaket v . tue Hundred or Bamiiubch . —This action , which was commenced yesterday , occupied the greater part of to-day . The plaintiff in this case is » person whoso name was some time a-jo rather prominently before the public in a trial before Mr . Baron Gurney , in which he was charged with the murder of his wife , and was acquitted . On returning to his house near Sunderland , the mob attacked it , and having driven out the inhabitants , set fire to the house and destroyed it , with a great portion ofits contents . This action was brought under a statute ot' 7 and 8 George IV ., against the liundreo , to ricorer the amount of the damage so sustained , A good deal of widenee was given as to the value of the
property . The Rev . Mr . Belaney said the house was well furnished , in someparts extravagantly . The greater part of the furniture had come to Mr . Belaney through bis wife , who bad received it from her mother . There weru a number of books in the house , ancient coins , and other curiosities . The books he thought could not be bought under ^ 200 . Had himself furnished a house for be tween £ 200 and £ 300—not so well furnished as the plaintiff ' s . By other parties the furniture was valued at about i . ' 400 , the books at £ ' 100 . About £ ' 50 worth of plate , china , Aic , were saved . The jury , after being absent an hour out of the box , returned a verdict for the plaintiff , allowing £ 10 for his interest in he house , £ 85 for the furniture , and £ 10 for the books .
Swaksea ( South Wales ) , Fuidat . Highway Robheuv . —Charles Williams , 2 ( i , and William Morgan , 27 , were indicted for highway robbery , with great pemonal violence , on the person of Datid Davics , from whom they were cbarged with stealing £ 170 in sovereigns , half sovereigns , and silver , the property of the Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England . This was a robbery attended with cireuinstancea of great aggravation . The Company of Copper Miners have works at Morriston , three miles from Swansea , and for the hiht fifteen years have been iu tho habit of employing an old man , 82 years of age , named David Davics , to carry their post bag daily from Swansea to tho works , Once a week lie was in ( he habit of bringing money trom the ( xl ; miorgansmre Bank in Swansea , with which to pay the wage .
of the workmen at the copper works . About ten o'clock on the morning of the 15 th July , he attended the hank , when the cashier put £ 170 in sovereigns , half-sovereign * , and silver , iu the post-bag , which he locked , mid delivered to the old man , who left the bank with aview of going to the works . About eleven o ' clock in the morning he had reached . a place called Plaesmawr , two miles trom tin town of Swansea , and a place in the immediate vicinity til which were extensive copper works and collieries , —uspoi apparently by no means well suited lor the commission oi a robbery , especially during broad daylight , Here tinold man was attacked by two or three men , one of whom cut tbe stmp by which the post-bag was fastened around bis shoulders ; he was immediately blindfolded by metim . of a kind of cloth which was thrown around his face , boat and kicked most violently until he became insensible , aim thrown to a culvert which passed under the road on thai spot ; there happened to be but little water at that dry ser . son of the year passing through the culvert . The
sounds of groaning attracted the attention ol some persons ttbopassed that road , and on looking under the eulvert , they perceived the old man , whom they at onocrc cognised as tbe Forest Works postman . Thi' )* took him out ; he was in a shocking state of exhaustion , and when he recovered himself , he informed them of the circumstances attending the robbery . From some information received by Inspector Rees , of the Swansea police force—a very active officer—he took both prisoners into custody that night at LhiHclly , a place twelve miles distant trom Swansea ; one being in bed in a vagrant lodging-house , and the other in bed ill a public-house . The cast ' , as a » aiiist Mi-wan , depended chiefly upon the evidence of the old man , who positively swore to bis identity as thu person nho first attacked him , and cut offthe strap . The only other evidence being that he wa . s at Swansea that raonnns , and fouud at Llaaellj- in the evening , the spot being situated ( though not the direct ruad ) between those jiiaees . The evidence against the prisoner Willi-uns was entirely circumstantial ' . twocoppermeu , named Willinuia
and Leysbow , having sworn that thej met the prisoner ( lniliains ) on ihe road , about thirty yards from the culvert in ivmpai-y with twojotber men ami a woman , but they could uot say whether one of them was the other pri-

soner . It also appeared that Williams had called fur Morgan at the house in which the latter lodged , about two hours b-fore the perpetration of the crime ; while the lining of a hat was found iu the culvert in which the old man was found , and „ u uxaniimmoi . the lining was found wanting iu Williams' hat . and it could not , however , be ascertained whether the body and lining found would correspond , as the policeman hadsomehow lost the latter . There were some other unimportant circumstances disclosed . After an hour and a half ' s deliberation , the jury found both prisoners Guilty , whereupon Mr . Justice Wightmau sentenced th em to transportation tor life . HBADI . 10 , Tujsdat .
CiuaoK ov Manslaughter . —Thomas Fowler , 40 , surrendered to an indictment charging him with the nianslaughterof John Barnett , at Abingdon . It nppeared that the deceased , who had formerly worked for Mr . Fowler , went to his malt houses on the day named in the indictment , and abused aud threatened him . A man named Middleton , who was there , saw Barnectputbis fists up to strike prisoner , who took a malt shovel and struck deceased on the side of the head , unfortunately inflicting go much injury as ultimately to cause death after an interval of five day * . The witness Middh-ton , in repl y to the judge , said deceased was near enough to strike Fowler at the time he put up his hands , and that it appeared te him that Fowler , who picked up the shovel on the instant , only meant to defend himself from tho attack . Tbe judge stopped the case and directed an acquittal .
Melancholy Su1c1dk Of A City Melic11ajnt...
MELANCHOLY SU 1 C 1 DK OF A CITY MELIC 11 AJNT . ¦ EXTRAORDINARY CASE . On Monday afternoon , Mr . William Carter , the eorc-ner for Surrey , held an inquest at the Hampton Court Palace , Francis-street , Newington , on tho body of Mr . John Shaw , aged iifty-six years , lately residing at No . 5 , Walworth-terrace , Walwortii-road , and recently connected with the firm of Messrs . Alderman Lucas , Tope , and Shaw , of Water-lane , Great Tower-street , City , who committed suicide . The jury having been sworn , proceeded to the deceased ' s late residence to view the body , which presented a very shocking spectacle , tbe head being nearly separated from the trunk . Upon the return
ol thejiiry to the inquest-room , Eliza Trail deposed that ihe was in tho deceased's service . On tho morning of Friday last , about half-past seven o ' clock , witness went into deceased's room with a cup of tea . He was in bed at the time with Mrs . Shaw , and appeared rather excited , lie desired witness to bring up some hot water , as ho was about to shave himself . Witness returned in a few minutes , and placed the water on the ude-biwiM of tiie dressing-room which immediately joined the bedroom . Witness then returned to the kitchen , folloifcd by Mrs . Shaw , who left the deceased in tho act of dressing . They had not been from tho apartment more than five minutes before Mrs . Shaw went up stairs , when witness was alarmed at hearing her mistress screaming for assistance . Witness ran up ,
and saw Mrs . Shaw endeavouring to force the door of the dressing-room , who , fearing something had happened , directed witness to fetch a chisol , with which' they forced the door open , and on entering they discovered the deceased on bis knees , with a frightful wound in his throat , from which tho blood was issuing copiously . There was a razor lying on the table , smeared with blood . Mrs . Shaw placed a silk apron in the wound , whilst , witness run for medical assistance . Mr . Boddy attended with promptitude , but he gradually sunk , and died about two o ' clock in the afternoon . Witness had frequently observed the deceased weeping and excited , exclaim ' ing , " It will be so until the 1 st of March ; " and he would often refer to some property which he said he was fearful of losing by the anticipated American War .
Mr . Shaw , a solicitor , here stated that the deceased had considerable property in the PujctSouhiW , and also in tho Hudson ' s Bay Stock , which he h-ul some idea would be affected by the American War . Deceased was , consequently , much in the habit of crying when in the presence of his wife , who remonstrated with him and endeavoured to console him , but he was evidently in au unsound state of mind . Mr . W . B . Buddy , surgeon , stated that bo was called in on the morning in question , and found ihe deceased on the iloor with a wound in the throat about seven inches in length . The gullet , and all the branches oi' the neck were separated , and he had lost about three quarts of blood ; witnes * sewed up the wound , but he became violent and died about two o ' clock from the effect of the injuries . The symptoms , subsequent to the wound , were certainly indicative of insanity . There being no further t «* timony ,
The coroner remarked on the distressing nature of the evidence , after which the jury returned a verdict of"Temporary Insanity . "
