THE FAYOTTRED LAND . BaiTAKKlA sat musing upon her loved & * " > * The winds were asleep , an $ the waves tossed her The sun bad gone down , » na days splendour was o ' er , And silence had hallow'd her lonely ^ treat ; » So the sun of cm glory , " she Bighed , " takes ita flight , So the bright hopes of Britain seem shrouded in night" O land of the ocean and rock of the -waTe , The -worshipp'd of earth , and the favoured of Heav'n , ¦ fffcere the beautiful dwell vnth the free and the brave , TFbere Providence smiles , and an Eden is given ; Thou hast shone " mid the nations like Europe ' s bright
A baaeon when daw : tempests threatened afar . " Yet 2 nation of freemen seem claniing their chains , A famed land of heroes are crouching like slaves , Ihe peasant ' s bold song is now hush'd on thy plains , And the rongh seaman ' s tear mingles -with thy blue ¦ waves ; For Faction has crippled the lo » m and the plough , And ihy ¦ white sails of commerce flap heavily now . ii Yes 5 Mammon now mocks the starvd Englishman's msh , The oligarch laughs at gaunt poverty ' s tear , The songs ~ of the pamper"d drown misery ' s cry , And ¦ where plenty onca smil'd , famish'd faces appear ; Prond wealth seems to lord it o ' er Heav " n ' s favour' d land , And the temple prcfane " s raifi'd byFreedom ' s own hand .
" And when will the spirit awaken again ? What breath shall rekindle the patriot flame ? TThat voice shall arouse the bold sans of the main , To wipe off the stain that now darkens their fame ? O , when will prosperity gladden cur isle ? When commerce ihall Sourish , and liberty smile . " Through the . gathTing gloom burst th . 9 Star of the night" That Gri > , " said Britannia , " a sign seems to be , That my country again shall shine forth in her might , And her own moral energy render her free ; Behold the bright symbol appears in the skies , And thepieenix again from its ashes shall rise !"

UNITED STATES . The steamer Acadia , Captain . Ryrie , arrived at Iiverpool at three o'clock on Friday morning , after a voyage of twelve and a half days , from Halifax , which port she left on the 12 : b . The Acadia took the place of the Caiedoniaj and sailed from Liverpool on the \ 9 ih of February ; she experienced very rough weaiier on her outward voyage , which occupied sixteen and a half cays . At Halifax , the Unicorn had been got ready for sea , and , having fetched the mail from Boston , proceeded to sea for England on the 7 th . She had , however , only been at sea a few hours , and got some distance beyond Sambro' Head , when &he was descried by the Acadia , -which bore dewn to meet her ; it was a joyful
meeting , and the news of the gaiety of the Caledonia excited the liveliest feelings of satisfaction and joy . The two steamers returned to Halifax together , and , ihongh 'it vras midnight , the cannon they fired brought crowds of anxious inhabitants down to the ¦ B- haris , and as they were iailed and answered as iiev passed " Aeadis , " * Unicorn , " with the welcome addition of " Caledonia safe in England , " the shouts and cheers of the multitude were most exciting . A passenger describes it a ? a scene of the moss exhilarating nature . The mail and passengers brought by the Acidia were transferred to the TMcorn , which proceeded to Boston on Tuesday night , and the Clyde West Indian steamer sailed same day direct to Kew York , bearing the news there .
Owijig to the mails being made sp at Boston on the " 2 nd we have no news from the United States by this arrival later than we received by the Oxford . Prom Halifax we have dates to the 12 th inclusive , tut they do not contain any matter of importance . Tke sailing packets to the westward having all made long passages , the Acadia took out to the states intelligence more than a month later . Imeiiigence has been received from 2 sew York to the 4 : h instant . Tae case of the Creele had been brought np in the Senate by the introduction of a report in answer to a resolution of the House adopted some time ago .
The report was presented in tne form of instructions to the American Minister in London . It states the contents of a brief correspondence between tilo Sectary of Sjate and the American Minister in London , and the facts connected vriih the case . It is assumed that a great injustice has been done to the owners of the sl&res , and a serious in ^ al ? offered to the American Union ; aad it is contended that the daty of the authorities of Nassau , as a friendly power , should have been to have aided the master aid crew of the Creole in bringing the " mutineers " to jdstiee . The American iiinister 13 requested to bring the subject before Lord Aberdeen as clearly a case of indemnification .
The North-eastern Boundary had been allnded to in the Senate and by the Governor of Massachusets , in a message to the State Legislature ; but there was nothing new on the subject . Mr . Clay had , in the Senate , made a long speech in recommendation of his resolutions respecting the be-s mode of raising a revenue for national purposes from duties on goods imported from foreign countries . The Chamber was excessively crowded to bear what was understood to be Mr . Clay ' s farewell speech . In the House of Representatives , a petition was presented from Ohio , praying that the House would take immediate measures to dissolve the Union . The petition set = for : h , that the citizensof the free Slates have been suff-ring incalculable evils for the las : thirty years , and are now suffering from the institution of slavery .

A Dodgt CA ^ viSSER . —The hall steps were spotted with green moss—the windows had glass of a thousands hues , the white-painted shutters closed on many of them ; the place had altogether a cold , forbidding look . Its possessor was . a bachelor , an old Juan , a gentleman by birth , a formalist by habit , and a miser by perverted isciination . His name was Simon Gripefasfc ; his estate was large , and his politics doubtful . After many a weary pull , the rickety door was opened by an asthmatic servant in faded green livery , and the earl and his protoge were received by Mr . Gripefast . The room into
which they were shown was edd and dingy : the walls were , cracked , the roof almost black , the carpet faded , and the small portion of fire nursed in the corner of the grate , struggling for life under an economical covering of dusty ashes . Falconer felt his spirits sink the moment he entered the place . Its occupant was in keeping with it : he was ironvisa eed , sparely-built , and shabbily dressed . His veryhandB were hard and cold ; and the cat that shivered by the hearth looked as ban and acrimonious as her master . " My friend Falconer starts for the cotmty in the room of poor Sir Guzzle Grabbington . "

Shocking Result op a Petit Prosecution . —A few weeks ago , a woman , with an infant ia her arms , was commit red to prison for cutting a small quantity of birch at He . ~ bury , the damage which she did being valued at one halfpenny . We understand that the Child died iu prison on Sunday last , and that the mo ; her stated at the inqu ; st that it was her belief the child died in consequence of a oold which it caught in the Ledbury lock-up-house . The wonder is that many inquests have not been the consequence of confining prisoners in such a damp and hlthy den . The feelings of this woman ' s persecutor , who sent her and her child to prison for such a venial offence as cutting a bit of birch , are not to be envied . —Worcestershire Chronicle .
Edinburgh asd Glasgow Railway . —Sunday Tbains . —The second day of the Sunday trains has passed off as quietly as the firfct . At the Edinburgh terminus tho Rev . W . Burns was again in attendance , rearing and shouting , to the great annoyance of peaceable persons ; but the railway train proved as deaf to his remonstrances as before , and slid away with the greatest sangfroid imaginable . The people assembled were respectable and well-conducted . The total number of passengers carried along the line was 841 . Of these there came along the -whole lino from Glasgow M , while 254 were taken up or set down at the intermediate stations . The cumber conveyed along the entire line from Edinburgh was 58 , and to intermediate distances , 495 . Except on the part of Mr . Burns , at the Edinburgh station , not the slightest disposition was manifested , either in the morning or evening , to mar the tranquillity of the Sabbath . —Scotsman .
Fastisg by Compulsion . —At the weekly meeting of the guardians of the South Dublin union on Wednesday , Captain Kowlan complained , on tho part of the protestant paupers in the establishment ( nearly 500 in number , ) that they were compelled , contrary to the natural cravings of their stomachs , to swallow thin oatm < al porridge , the same as that taken by tho Roman Cathhc inmates , during the period of Lent . The gallant captain concluded by moving that the whole anvar of flesh and broth withheld from the
protestants during tho last week be added to the allowance doled out on Easter Sunday . A guardiaa suggested that the usual week ' s notice should be given of bo important a motion ; but it having occurred to some of the members of the board that Easter was but three days off , it was finally agreed that the aggrieved parties should have double rations on Sunday next , as some slight compensation for the purgation they had been forced to undergo , in common with their more devout companions of tho workhouse .
Desperate a > 'd Extraordinary Scene in Mews Barracks . —The following are the authentic particulars relative to this extraordinary occurrence : — It appears that Thomas Hutchins , who is the subject of this narrative , is a private in the third battalion of the 1 st Regiment of Grenadier Foot Guards , now stationed in the Mews Barracks , Trafalgar-square , and was considered the finest man in tho regiment , measuring six feet two inches in height , and stoui in proportion , and when uninfluenced by liquor was a quiet , inoffensive person , but a little drink would sometimes excite him to a most extraordinary degree , and cause him to quarrel with his comrades . Ou Wednesday night , about nine o ' clock , after having indulged rather freely , he retired with three
others to one of the barrack sleeping-rooms at the top of the building for the night , where , however , he had not been many minutes before he commenced quarrelling with a man named Greene , whom he at length threatened with his vengeance , and , fearing the consequences , Greene made his escape down stairs , anu informed the Serjeant that Hutchins was drunk . The serjeant immediately repaired up stairs , and ordered him down to the orderly-room , for the purpose of testing his sobriety . He , however , struck the-serjeant under the ear " with his bayonet , and slightly wounded him . Another man vtuf slightly wounded in the faca in endeavouring to rescue the serjeant , who , but for bis interference , would no doubt have been murdered . All
however , ran out of the room with tiie exception of one man , who had got into bed , to whom Hutchins said , " You hive never injured or given me any offence ; I shall not , therefore , hurt a hair of your head . " Hutchins , however , now commenced firing at the door , imagining , no doubt , that some of them were on the other side of it . Six bullets passed through the door , which is about two inches in thickness , one of them lodging in another door at the end of thepassago , which is about twelve feet in length . Ho also fired through the front window at the sentries in the yard , who , however , fortunately escaped . Hearing several persons coming up the stairs , he threw up the back window , and flung out his belt and pouch , and haying exclaimed , " Now , you , follow me , " precipitated himself
from the vFjndow into the back-yard , a height of about fifty feet , when a rush was instantly made , and he was found lying upon his back in a state of insensibility . He was immediately placed upon a stretcher , and conveyed to the Barracks Hospital , in Rochester Row , Westminster , where he was attended by Drs . Johnson and Bellam , of tho regiment , who discovered that his left arm vra 3 broken , but the extent of injury sustained could not then be discovered . On inquiry on Thursday , at the Hospital , it was ascertained that he had been spitting blood the whole of the day , which proceeded from the internal injuries he had received , and which are of so serious a nature as to preclude all uope of his recovery . The flag-stoae upon which he fell was broken into several pieces , but not a spot of blot-d was to bo seen . Hutchins is ia the 28 : h year of his age .
ExEcr-rio . vs . The period has now arrived , when the great experiment of replacing by more moderate penalties the exterminating enactments of former time 3—tias been tried by the test of full experience ; and the Committee of the Anticapital Punishment Society congratulate the public upon the eminent success which has marked the transition from a system of indiscriminate rigour to one of great comparative mercy- Ia the year 1821 there waa 114 executions in England and Wales- In 1828 , the nHmber was reduced to 59 ; in 1836 , to 17 ; and in 1838 . it was only G . Toat this change has been effected without diminishing , even in the slightest degree , the security of the persons and properties of men , is a matter of
the clearest evidence , the evidence of actual expe rience , which cannot be disputed or falsified . The Government Returns prove , that there have been jetcer highway robberies in the last seven years , with 5 executions , than in the preceding seven years , with 58 executions ;—that there have bten fewer acts of burglary aud housebreaking in the last seven years , ivith only 2 executions , than in the preceding seven years , when 57 persons svffered death for those crimes;—that there has been less horse-stealing in the last seven years , icithout any execution , than in the preceding s . yen years , during which , for that offence alone , ' 22 convicts were sent to the scaffold . Whatever experience has been acquired by this unexampled reform in the administration of public
justice , has , at least , been safely and innocent ^ gained . Some hundreds of offenders , had they committed their crimes a few years before , * tould have died by the hands of the executioner . They had been allowed to live . Life , the only season of repentance , with all it 3 opportunities of regaining the lavour of an offended Drity , has tftan mercifully continued to them ; and , from this lenity , society Las derived no injury , no loss . Who , then , Can fail to rejoice at a result so consoling to humanity One question only remains . —Reflecting men will a ? k , after so many accumulated proofs of the ineffiency of capital punishment , why should it he retained at all ? re asoning minds will inquire , —Is ihe execution of six ptrtous in a year so essential to
social security , chat we must still couimue to uphold the revolting machinery of the scaffold } For murder no less than other crimes , the penalty of death , as an example , is momeutary , and of no bentficial effect : —it disgusts the good , and brutalizes the bad , who witness the spectacle of man cruelly df-.-tro } ed by man ;—as an act of extreme vioi-. uctt , it teaches \ iolence to the people : — as an act of deliberate homicide , it diminishes the regard due to the sanctity of life , and renders murder Ie 3 s revolting to the uninstructed mind . For murder as u-cll as other crimes , it too often leads fo impunity through the suppression of evidence by the associates or acquaintance of the criminal , who recoils at the thought of becoming accessory to the
desih of one , with whom they had formerly lived on RTC-.- of familiar intercourse . Tae Committke iuvit the attention of ihe public to the important fact , that there have been fewer commitments for murder in the last hve years , when the executions tor- 'that crime were 40 , for 8 annually , ] than in tho five years preceding , when tbe executions were 66 , [ or 13 annually . ] Similar result ? have followed the partial dituse of the punishment of death for murder in France and Prussia ; and in Belgium , the discontinuance of the capital penalty , during five successive years ending with 1834 , was accompanied by a diminution in the number of murders- Thus experience proves , that in order to render the laws against crime reformatory , they must cease to be Tevcn $ ef * . d . It is true the punishment of death is
judicia Jy said , like all other punishment , to be , not for revenge but example : —but as it has notoriously failed in the way of example , what purpose can its infliction serve unless the gratification of revenge 1 Let it then be entirel y repealed , and some punishment substituted which does not shock the natural feelings of mankind , and i 3 therefore more capable ot uniform execution \ By the abolition of it we should teach men forbearance by the high example of the laws , and inculcate the sacredness of life on that supreme authority ; while the retention of it for mnrr der answers none of the real ends of justice , but serves only , by exacting " blood for blood , " to encourage the savage spirit of retaliation , in utter variance with the gentle temper of Christianity , and itself the fruitful parent of atrocious crimes .

Death phom Destitution . —An inquest was taken OQ Saturday , in the Board Room of Marylebone workhouse , on the body of James Simmpnds , aged 18 * whose death occurred in that institution . The poor fellow had been an . occasional porter ; but latterly he couldget nothing to do , aad at length , from want of nourishment , he wasfound ia a sinking state on the cell of a door iu Gee ' s Court , Oxfordstreet , by policeman D 125 , who took him to the station-house , where tho Inspector ordered him to be taken to the workhouse ; but deceased said he would not go ; he had been there once , and would rather be hanged than go again .

Adventures of a £ 5 NoTE .-On Sunday last , a collection was ^ made at St . Martin ' s Church , for \ % Colonial' Bishops' Fund , and a religious old lady had , m the exuberance of her lovo for bishops , placed on the plate a £ 5 note . While the churchwardens were carrying the treasure from the portlCO of tne church to the vestry , guarded by the beadles , a strong gi& 3 t of wind carried off the five pound note . It remained over the roof of the church for some time ; the beadles , in their robes of office looked at jtm wild astonishment , and , as it floated towards the river , they set off as fast as their legs could carry them * shouting " stop it l" " catch it 1 " The public ran in all directions ; believing that the cry was " stop thief ! " A general pursuit ensued , but no one could see either the thief or the object of pursuit , till the beadles stopped in Northumberland-street , aud cried out , "It is caught by the churchwarden ' s chimney .

Effects of Railway Tbavelling on Sight . —It has often been remarked by railway . travellers , how fatiguing it ia to the eyes , and consequently -injurious to . tho sight , to look for any length of timo at objeots through the railway carriage windows . This is quite true , aud easy of solution . Every one acquainted with physiology ., knows the intimate connexion and sympathy of action between the five senses and the brain . The sensation which is felt and complained of is caused by the velocity at which you travel—the transient view you obtain of the
objeots you pass—and looking at them in a direct lino , which is generally the case by looking through the 6 ido window nearest the seat . All these unpleasant sensations and conseqnenceH ( which are more serious than appear at first sight ) are obviated by simply looking at the objects you pass in an oblique or angular direction ; you thus command a longer view of everything , which entirely relieve tho eye—it destroys this magioal and uncertain Bight you obtain by looking , as before described , at objects in a Straight Mm . —Glasydio Paper .
A curious Incident has occurred at Northampton Assizes . A " fracas '' took puce between Sergeant , Goulburn and Mr , Becke , a . solicitor ; in consequence , is seem ^ of an old feud between the two . In 183 G , or earlier , and repeatedly since that time , Mr . Goulburn made Bomo attacks on Mr . Be ^ 'ke ' s professional character ; and Mr . Becke coia plains , that as Mr . Goulburn screen ' s himself under his privilege as aii advocate , he has no redress at law . His only resource therefore is to attempt to provoke Mr . Goulburn to take some proceedings against him , and he endeavoured to do so in the said " fracas , " but it appears without success 1 ; and so he has written to the papers a letter , in 1 which he thus throws down the gauntlet : — " If , as I : fully expect , ho should fail to proceed against me , the public will then judge between myself and Mr . Goulburn : I havudoneall in tho power of man , shortof personal violence , to foreo him to wipe off the foul stigma I
have now several times cast upon him . I accused him of wilful falsehood aud gross perversion of truth in the imputations he' cast on me I accused him of fabricaiii / g circumstances detrimental to my professional character , for the ' sole purpose of indulging bis malevolent feelings towards lao . I now repeat these accusations deliberately and advisedly . Mr . Goulburn has all along omitted to take any steps either ta clear his character or attempt to justify his conduct towards me . I leave it therefore to all men of honour and courage to put iheir own construction ou this line of conduct of a sorgeant-at-law , an exofficer of the Blues , theauthorof a satire ; and one who has figured in his early career as a horse jockey With all these varied . qualifications ^ he appears destitute of those feelings wluch persons moving in his present station are generally found to possess , when a man , equa' in birth and education to himself , demands satisfaction for his insulted honour . "
Cukiocs Coincidence . —Some months ago , the premises of Mr , Wilson , a watchmaker at Spalding . wt-ro broken open , and all the winches and plats stolon from his shop . For some timo nothing could be discovered , aud malicious people were not wantiHg to make the vileat iasiuua . tiona . By a remarkable coincidence the burglar went the other day to Lincoln , a distant of more than 50 miles , to dispose of part of his plunder , the affair having become almost forgotten , and it so chanced thai the first p lace he went to was the shop of Mr . Wilson's father iu Hish-street , Saint-Petcr-at-Gowts , and it alao singularly happened that the watch he presented for sale was one that Mr . Wilson personally knew had belonged to his son . The man was detainedand
, some other property was l "> und in Lincoln . lie waa removed in custody to Spalding , where it was learned that he had been residing for six . years past , under the name ofMorley . On his house being searched , no trace of the rest of Mr . Wilson ' s property was found , but on a subsequent search , a lar ^ o stone bottle was found upon a shelf , and on being taken down , it proved that a hole had beau broken in the bottom and tho watches and jewellery put therein , carefully packed in hay to prevent it from rattling . Mr . Wilt-on has thus singularly recovered the whole of his property ( except two watches ) , and a b urgUr in most , extensive practice has been detected , and committed to the hoase of correction for the division of Holland . ,
Match to Gallo p One Horse Twenty Milks , within the Hour . —It will be recollected that Mr . Grey , a gentleman riding nearly fourteen stones undertook to perform this feat , but failed in completing his task , having unfortunately broken his horse ' s legs in three places before he had made the h'rbt turn of five miles . Immedia , ' . ely ^ after the above named affair , Mr . Goodman , a member of the turf , matched himself in a similar undertaking for £ 100 , to take place on the same ; spot , viz . —a three mile piece of ground on Sunbury Common , and on Wednesday last the affair came off . Mr . Goodman had been up totVie day in close training , weighing about ten stone i and having purchased a fine old
steeple chaser , named the " Kni g ht , " expressly for tho occasion , was ready at all points iW the start at four o'clock . Tho betting had risen considerably in favour of Mr . G—in many instiuces to 6 to 4 , and in-some even 2 to 1—which must be in somomeasurie attributed to Mr . G . ' swell-knowneuergy , perseverance , and strength of nerve . Mr . G , went off at a steady pace , which he continued to the close , and completed his task apparently , with great ease , having nearly four minuies to spare , neither horse nor riiier showing any symptoms of distress . Considerable sums of money changed hands upon t | ie occasion , au'l the tfTOuud was well atteu < M , there being a # ood spriuklo of fashionable equipages and great numbers of equestrians .
Palm Sunday . —The annual ceremony of cracking a gau-whip three times in tho church porch of Caistor , at the commencement of the reading of the lessons , with tho folded whip , and tho mummery of waiving-it three thn ' ts over thivmirfcjbr ' s head , t .

We under ^ ind that Mr .
Spring , saddler , of Brigtf , this year completed the 52 . id whip he has made tot the occasion . There are religious persons iu Caistor who assert that the custom is impious—that it is a desecrauott of the Sabbath belonging to the darkest . am « V < fec ,. ; aud of this opinion was an infiuenUal gentleman who a few years ago sought to put aside the whole cerejnony , bat did not succeed .

Madness and Suicide produced by Destitution , —On Thursday a long investigation vfas minvred into before Mr . T . Wakley , M , P ., in tho chapel of the Strand Union Workhouse , Ulevciand ^ treei , Fitzroysqaare , on the body of Charles HeatLeote , aged 19 , tae son of a journeyman painter and glazier , living in Westminster . Charles Heathcote , deei-ased ' ti father , said hia son had been in the employ of a cowkeeper in Westminsterj but about seven weeks since be was discharged , his master having no longer occasion for his services . He was unable to find employment , or witness in any way to a&j > i 8 t him , being out of work himself . The deceased Windered about from day to day , ' Buffering the deepest distress and hunger , but would not apply to the parish . The effect of starratlon caused him to . beoomo insane and a night or two after he was found by the jiolice
raving mad in the streets , and conveyed by them to St . Margaret ' s workhouse , where he had been but a few days when be sought an opportunity to cut his throat , but was detected before he had done so to a great extent . A week after , he again cii this throat to a greater extent , at which time ho was under an order of removal from St . Margaret ' s parish to the Strand union . He was removed to thu Strand Union workhouse on the 5 th instant , at which time he was so weak as to be unable to walk . By ihe Coroner" ¦ I have no complaint as regards nib treatment , but I think his removal from St . Margaret ' a workhouse to this accelerated his death . " The Jury ultimately returned a verdict , " That the deceased died frbrnthe effects of a wound in his throat , inflicted by himself whilst in a state of inBauity , produce a trdni huuger aad destitution .

Wigney's Bank . —Meeting of Creditors . —On Thursday evening ^ a private meeting of the principal creditors took . place at the house of Mr . Dash , Castle-square , Brighton . About sixty persons wore present . From various statements made , according to present appearances , the largest dividend that can be expected is sixpenve in the pound . From inquiries made by some of the creditors , it was deemed expedient that they should obtain the assistance of one of the leading counsel from London in order that the whole aflair may be thoroughly investigated , as slight hopes are entertained of recovering certain property for the benefit of the largo body of creditors .
At thb Leicester Assizes , an extraordinary case of Blander was tried . The- action was broughs by Dempster Hemming and wife against Mr . Power , a solicitor . Mi-. Hemtaiug ia a , gentleman of fortune , acquired in India , and sixty years of age . His wife is a fasciflating lady , of about twenty-eight . Their marriage w ^ s solemnized in the year 1839 ; and Mr . Power was charged with spreading a rumour that Mrs . Hemming was the wife of one Henry Alleyne , whom she called her brother . Mrs . Hemming was married as Rhoda AUoyae ; and she and her brother were etrangers in the neighbourhood when Mr . Hemming became acquainted with her . The counsel for the plaintiff simply proved the uttering of the words by Mr . Power . In reply , the Solicitor-General indignantly commented upon the case being
presented in this naked manner . He would aulow the description Mrs . Hemming had given of herself , as to her maiden name , to bo correct ; bat , with regard to her pretended brothor , it was - -clear .. tiaS bis name was Henry Chard ; that he was a superannuated tide-waiter from Liverpool ; that he had been living at Fiiichley , or Hatnpstoad , with Mrs . Hemming , ostensibly as brother and sister , in 1838 . If he proved these cirevvmstancos , the jury would be satisfied Mrs . Hemming and her brother were mere adventurers ; that Mr . Hemming was their dupe , and that ths vetdict skovild pass for his client . Mr . Balgiiy , oh the other side , insisted that the jury had nothing to do with AUcyr . e , and the Judge inclined to that opinion . The jury , however , gave the plaintiff only one farthing carnages .

In all parts of the town , chimney stalks and stalks of various public works were blown down , and serious loss sustained / A considerable part of Messrs . Loitch and C 6 . ^ ropeworfc was hurled to the greiind ; and we are sorry to aay that this liurricance did not end in the destruction of property only . Abottt half-past eight o ' clock ,, the chimney top of a house situated nt the highest elevation of Mearns-street , near the Mount , was blown upon the roof—the roof was carried « W 37 i and the dense mass of rubbish broke through the ceiling * and fell into a bed room , where two children were asleep .

shop , and by the force of the wind borne nearly sixty yards farther up the street . We lament to learn that , about ten o'clock last night > an accident of a serious nature , occurred at Garnkivk Fire Brick and Liine Works . Two of the stalks were blown down by the huTricane , ¦ which swept over the city aud suburbs , and as this unfortunately happened to be the night on which the men at these works commenced a double shift , all those engaged In that department were buried in the rains .

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT ON A LADY . Monday , Mr . Robert Caldwell , solicitcr ,-of 191 , Great Brunswick-street , for whose apprehension two warrants bad been outstanding for many days , was brought in custody of Police Serjeant Kennedy , 8 B , beforo the Magistrates of College-street Police Office , Dablin , charged with having assaulted , with intentto commit violation , the wife of Mr . Corbett , of Fitzwyiiam-place , baiTister . From the eyidenca of the proaecutifix , as given by Tfie Freeman's Journal , it appeared the prisoner had been on friendly terms with Mr . Corbttt for the space of ayeat and a half , during which they had Various transactions in the way of business , Mr .
Caldwell taking to Mr . Corbett all the briefa he could muster . The prisoner had been frequently at ' ¦ -Mr ; Corbett ' s house , his presence there being , however , occasioned , for the most part , by professional affairs , though on two occasions ho had dined there . On Monday Se ' nnight-he dined with Mr . Corbett aud his lady , ind on the Saturday follpwing ; he proceeded to the house of the prosecutor in Fitzwilliiim-plsice , under t ' ao pretence of paying the visit UBually exacted by etiquette , after the acceptance of such a complinitnt . Having knocked at the door , he inquired of tho servant if Mr . Corbett were at home ? The servant answered in the negative , saying that his master had just gone out ; which , bowever , was not the case ; but Mr . Corbett , being in disabillo at the time , bad
given directiona that he should be denied . The prisoner then inquired whether Mrs . Corbett was at ; home , for that if ao her presence would euit his purpose as well ? The servant -replied' that his mistress wais in Uie stu < iy , t- > which apartment the other was unhesitatingly adaiitted . The prisoner caving found the lady seated in aa arm chuir S-luted her courteously , and ,, drawing over his own chair in the vicinity of the lady ' s , they conversed for a few minutes upon ordinary topics Presently , however , hia conversation assumed a different toiie- ^ he talked rapidly with great fervour , and began to praise the eyes of his companion , which he averred were bright above tkoae of all other niortale . He then speke niore nndisguiaedly , and throwing himself on ais knee he lamented the situation of his fair
coaipampn , and asaured het with great impassionment that he grieved that her heart was not at her own disposal , for that if she were single she should not be without an offer . . Fired with indignation at hearing herstlf ade'e ^ sd in such a strain , the lady iose in high displeasure ; and told the p isoner that moh words were unfit for the ears of a married woman , and infoimed him that if be did not immediately leave the room she / should : ring for the servant to turn him pat . She was proceeding accordingly across the room , with the design of summoning the eervaat with the bell , when the prispner sprang from hia seat with desperate violence , and spreading : bis band over the lips of tbe lady , iu order to stifle her so ; effectually as to render utterance impossitle , he told Uer that all ker resistance would ba In vain . The prisoner then proceeded td take liberties of the most infamoua nature with the lady , the details of which are , of course , utterly unfit for publication . A deadly struggle ensued , the fortune of which
wa 3 ns yet doubtful , when the lady , descrying a large caiie-knifa lying in a silver bread-basket upon the table , seized it in desperation , and made a fierce plunge at the breast of her assailant Tbe prispner , in his effort to elude the blow , which mu 3 t have been fatal had it taken effect with such excessive violence wag it aimed , let go his hold of the lady ' s mouth , and succeeded in wringing the weapon out cf her hand . Tbe lady , uttering the most clamorous Bhrieks , rushed to the door , closely pursued by her assailant , *» ho brandished the knifo in the air , and had almost felled her to the earth , when Mr . Corbett , who was in the lower p » rt of the house , in the act of fastening his straps , when his wife ' sscreams first reached his ear , ran op stairs , haying Beized , in the exigency of the moment , a fort , the only weapon which lay at hand . On . the instant of Mr . Cprbetfc ' s ar . ivingr , his tody had effected her' escape froia the room ,, and having exclaimed , in tones of agony , " The knife ,

Corbett stepped over ber and xasbed . in tta direction of the study , where the prisoner yet remained , but one of the servant maids , apprehensive lest bleod might bo shed , in cos © her niaster and the prisoner , should meet , ran past the former vrith the Bpeed of lightning , and succeeded in ^ entering the room before him , shut the door in hia face , and bolted it from -within . Mr . Corbett conGeiviDg that his lady was dying , bo utterly devoid of anirriatiph did she appear ; , then turned to her assifitance , and having raised her drooping head frpra . the ground , ¦ was leaning over her on the lobby , when the prisoner , suddenly darting from his ambuscade , sprang down stairs . Mr ; Corbett seized a boot-jacfe and
hurled it at the head of the prisoner , whom he pursued doWn the stairs with terrific speed , and might , perhaps , have succeeded in overtaking him , were it not that the same servant maid who had already interfered , threw herself in the course of the putBuer , and terminated the chase ,- and secured the present escape of the prisoner . Mrs . ; Corbett , a young iady of very prepossessing mannera and great personal attraction , was examined at great length , and deposed ii » a very becoming manner to-the'facts detailed in the foregoing statsment . The prisoner / a tall , athletic , well-piiopoitioned man , aged thirty-six years , and who was dressed in verj fashionable attire , when called upon fpr his defence , stated that the lady had made warm , and repeated professions of attachment to him , and he was only
presuming on the encouragement he had thus received in acting as he had . The prisoner then prpduced four or five letters , signed for the most part , " Your affection , ate Caroline , " and all of which contained professions of the most passicnate regard . Mrs . Corbett being crossexamined by Mr . Fitzgibbpn , denied in terms of the most unmitigated indignation , all knowledge whatsoever of these documents , the productien of which appeared to excite in no one mere surprise than in herself . It was "false as hell / ' the assertion that she had penned any such composition . She had never given the prisoner more countenance than became an honourable woman . She never walked with him in the street , nor
never had had interviews with him in private . Mr . Corbett deposed that he did not consider the letters to be written , any one of them , in the hand writing o £ his lady . Mr . Curran observed that there were no pbst marks whatsoever upon the letters , and many of them , were written in different hands . The magistratea said that such 9 case had been made out as left but : one course open for them , namely , to take the uifomationa » f the complainant , and hold the prisoner in surety to stand his trial at the next commission . The prifioner entered into his own recognizance for jfilOOj and two sureties of £ 50 each , to stand his trial at the commission , and was thereupon liberated .

The prosecutor did not appear to support the charge . Miss M . then explained , that Mr .

He then proposed to settle £ 1600 a year upon and to marry her after his wife ' s death , should that eccur within a certain period , upon conditions which she indignantly repelled ; and in revenge he instituted the present accusation . The lady waa discharged from custpdy .
