¦ pitxi Effects of Jealooslt . —An individual named Joshua il acklin , respvctabty connected , was indicted for the murder of a person named Carwell . The priboner 5 ras « young maa of superior education and intelligence . Be pleaded guilt ? to a -charge of manslaughter , the . capital charge having been withdrawn , and the Grown allowed the plea . Of course the details of the case did not , from the course taken , publicly trauspire . The facts , however , are asful ' ows : —Sometime last summer the prisoner got married to a young lady in Monastererau , previous to which , it appears , he was attached to another . Shortly after the marriage the prisoner was observed one uight walking with his former lover , and "both were perceived entering his garden . His wife was informed of the matter by some good-natured friend , and she went , of course , tolookforthtm in the garden ; vrlien .
to avoid her rage and delude discovery , they retired to a summer-nouse in the garden . The wife having traced them there , locked it on the outside , and went to call some Mends . The prisoner broke open the house , and was in the act of letting out the lady , when his wife and some other friends came up , and his companion could no longer he concealed . An angry altercation followed , -when the prisoner , in a paioxysm of rage , ran to his house for his gan , and fired amongst the persons who were assembled . Three of them were wounded slightly , and a fourth died from the effect of injurie * received . . For this homicide the prisoner was indicted . He addressed the court inn speech of considerable eloquence , declaring lie had no intention of hurting any person . The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas sentenced him to seven years' transportation . Ohvgh ( Ibelajjd ) , Wednesday ..
Kodi JrBE Rover . — Robert O'Riely , alias George Riely , alias Robert Alexander , alias George Rowan , alias HughO'Xeil , was placed in the dock yesterday , and presented by the grand jury as being a vagrant , having no -settled place of residence . Prisoner , a small middle-aged nan , dressed in what might be termed the " shabby genteel" style , stood forward in the front of the dock , and in a shrill , but boid tone of voice , pleaded not guilty . All the females and juveniles in the court were then ordered to withdraw . After the court being thus cleared , Mr . Schoales , Q . C ., proceeded briefly to state the nature of the case as it afterwards appeared in evidence . —James Collins examined : I know the prisoner ; he lived at my house for some time ; he represented himself to meal being a person named Robert Alexander , son of the Rev .
Mr . Alexander , and grandson to Lord Behnore ; when he came to my house , he told me that he had been witness to - the shooting of clergymen in the south , and that he had been persecuted by the Roman Catfcoius because he was going to swear against them there ; he also told me that he had an estate iu the county of Cavan , at a place called Drumkceran , and ihathewuuld not allow me to reman much longer in Tyrone , because I was living iu a rascally part of it ; he told me that be would give me twelve acr-1 -of land on his estate whtn he would get it , and he was to have pud £ 6 for me , which 1 was due another man ; he also pretended that he was a friend to my mother , and used to be counting relationships with her ; he also told me that he was then abont to get a remittance of £ 25 out of his Cavau estate . —Court : Did he get it ? ( L&uirhter . )—
Witness : If he did nu person saiv it ( Laughter . )—Ex-. amitiation continued : When he came first to my house he was much disgusted with the houses of my neighbours ; lie used to put his hand t < i his nose to proven this inhaling the smell from thar dung . pits . ( Laughter . ) Shortly after that time I took a suspicion of him , and I wrote oti to a relation of mine who lives at Drumkeeran , in fee county of Cavan , about him and his estates . He wrote me back that such a person was unknown there . After I received lids letter 1 made it known to the neigh . Louis . When I spoke to my neighbours thry told me stories which he had bewi circulating among them to my ill fame . The prisoner had left my Louse at that time , bul he came back again . The evening on which he came I met my boy , who told me that the " wee
gentleman w » s come hack . ( Laughter . ) That was the name we ust-d to cail him by . As soon as he saw me he wished to make his exit again , ( Laughter . ) I wished to have an explanation of certain matters , but he ran off out of my nuuse , where he was at the time , and took up in the liouseofurian named C ' r . - < zier ; in Crozier ' s he passed himself for being the wife ' s cousin . —Cours : Prisoner , have you any questions to ask witness?—Prisoner : TRjuess , you would not .. llow me Kt leave your house . "Witness : Ididuot know yon were the rascal you are . — Pr isoner : Tour mother went round the country claiming ldndredwithme , because , silthuugh I am arraigned at the bar , I am come ut high aud noble blood . ( Laughter . ) —Hujh 0 *>* eilexamined : I know the prisoner ; he if the iterson wlm called himself O"Xeil , O Riely , Alexander ,
and all tJieoilur names ; I saw him last winter ; I saw him in the house of the last witness ; he left it , aud went t « live in Cruz . er ' s , who thought that he was a relation of his ; he slcjit in my house for one night ; on that occasion he slept with mvself ; 1 rose up before morning , aud ord .-red him out of the bed , and out of my house , because 1 thought he was an imp ; he left my house in the morning ; I am not certain where lie went to ; I heard that he weut to the house of a person named Donaghee . —To the Court : I hcirdthat he was under the character of leaving his own . country for being present at a murder of a magistrate . —To Mr . Schoales : The prisoner told me that he once attended a gentleman up the country as a -purrasUe tor six years . —Piisoner : When did I tell you that !—Witness : Whtn you were leaving my house . —
1 ' rUoner : Xo ; I told you what your neighbours * aid of you ; they said that yuu were a bad character , who used * o dress i ; i female ' s clothes and go about to pass had notes . . My lord , I am a persecuted man ; 1 swore against the man who murdered a very good gentleman , Air . Bell Booth ; I got a man arrested fur him , and I was persecuted ever after ; I got two more arrested in Fermanagh ; I was brought before Sir Edward Tieruey , the crown solicitor ; I was introduced to liira by Mr . Dunstable , a magistrate ; these two men I got put in gaol for a length of time ; oh , I have been persecuted —Edward lI'Gueklau examined : The prisoner told me that lie was present at a murder iu the county of Cavan ; he ? aid that he was the only witness in the case ; I remember seeing him at
the lougli shore at Caltagh ; he then uiude some \ ery improper projitsals to me ; he asked me if there was anything to do in the hay-yard ; I said no ; says he , does there be Anything taken out of it ? no . fays I , come into James Coliins ' s , for I wanted to get rid of him . To the Court : I wished t « get rid of him , because he gave me to understand that he was a liennorpltrolUe . —Prisoner ( in a . violent rage ) : You < 3 on'tknonrthatthereisa God above you . Don ' t da Kin yourselves , for you know that you are ail damning yoarsches . [ Here the appearance of the prisoner bfcauie almost demoniacal . His small grey eyes shone bi iliiaiitir wish anger ; his thin bloodless lips were parted , sho » ing his byr « white teeth , which were gnashing with passion ] . He exclaimed , " you are damning your-Selws Ui the iov . cat ¦ ¦; vgu returned me " evil
for good and hatred fur my love ; ' you an-all in a conspiracy ag&iustine . every one of you . " ( Here the wretch became so chuked with the violence of his passion as to ba unable to give ut : erai ; ce to any more of his blasphemous imprecations . Nor would I have reported those above were it not to show the public the true character delineated by one of themselves , of tlwse unfortunate too !* of government , professional swearers . —His Lordship briefly charged the jury , who iu one moment returned a verdict of Guilty . Sentence , seven years' transportation . Previous to the passing of the sentence the
prisoner made use of sy : r . e of the most blasphemously indelicate expressions possible for the worst and most abandoned human lining to conceive . It is no wonder that the witness O'Neil believed him to be an imp ; and yet this devil has been made the man and the Christian unmade , by the influence of government Mood money . The prisoner is the man , as he hi :: isi-lr" imastcii , on whOSt information poor Heany was arrested and confined iu Cavan Gaol for themurder of Mr . llell ltuutli . The time has come when an enlightened government should feel ashamed of using such base and mercenary tools as this infamous "Rody the Rover . "
Kildaiie ( Ireland ) . A Viixaiu . —At these assizes a man named James Quiglej was indicted for the murder of a poor cripple who resided near Saas , by shooting him through the head . The principal evidence against the prisoner was an accomplice who had become approver ; and the disclosures of atrocities , outrages , and crimes which that accomplice freely made , have perhaps never been exceeded in the career of one so young in years . There were witnesses examined on the trial who corroborated in seine collateral points the approver ' s evidence ; such as that the prisoner and the informer had been in company together on the day of the murder . The jury , notwithstanding ,
acquitted Quigley , manifestl y under the impression that it wag not he , but Reilly , who had murdered the poor cripple . Qsigley , however , will not utterly escape , as he is under sentence of transportation for fifteen years for a robbery committed with Iteilly , on the night subsequent to that on which Donnelly was murdered . Reilly has escaped punishment of any kind . The following is the evidence : —Prancis Reilly ( an approver ) examined by Mr . Corbally , Q . C . ; I know the prisoner about three years ; I was with him ou the 23 rd September last in May . nooth and Dubliu ; we went to Maynootli from Dublin , and stopped at a lodging-house ; left it abimt seven O ' clocK next moralnj , aud went through .

pipe ; we struck a match ; there were two women comiug up at the cross road towards Caragh , and they met aman ; there is a gravel pit there ; the prisoner and I were on the comer of the ditch ; the night was dark ; the women asked the mau if he saw a light , aud he said " yes f when the prisoner leaped up and said he would show him light , and then a tussle ensued for a while , when the prisoner called me to assist him ; the womeu were going on then , and I turned one of . them back ; I detircd the prisoner to put it ( meaning the contents of the pistol } through him , as that was a password ; he had the pistol in his hand , and he fired the shot at the man ; I was a yard behind the man , and some of the shot whizzed t > y my ear ; QuigUy tired the shot and the man fell ; I stepped over his body ; saw the prisoner next day iu Dublin ; we
weut into a public-house , and saw an account of the murder in the Freeman ' s Journal ; that was on a Friday ; we met at BlaucbardBtown that evening with a person nitmed Doyle , where we robbed a mau ; I was arrested in the Castle-yard , but I don ' t know what brought me there . Cross-examined by Mr . Gorman : I swear I don't know what brought me to the Castle-yard ; I had business there , but did not think of what it was till I went there ; 1 went to the Castle-yard to give myself up for the robbery , but I did not think of that till 1 went in there ; it was an hour after I went there that I thought of it . I am twenty-one years of age , as I have heard . Mr . Gorman : How did you support yourself for the last three years ? Ly money . —Mr . Gorman : Got honestly ! Ye »; some of it I honoKed from men . —Mr . Gorman : Borrowed
fram men with a piitol at their heads ! Tes , —Mr , Gorman : And that ' s what you call getting money honestly ? Witness : Of course , I got money afiy way I could ; if I got it honestly so much the better , but if not , I robbed ; you know you ' get money honestly if yon can , but when 1 could not get it that way , why I procured it in the best manner 1 could ; can ' t form the most remote idea of the number of outrages , robberies , and crimes I have been engaged in . I can't go within twenty of the number . Cau ' t tell within ten of how many houses I have broken into and robbed . —Mr . Gorman : Tell me within five tunes of how often you were tried ? Oh , I was seldom caught , you know . I generally put in another in my place , and that was my business to the Castle . My conssience smote me when the man was murdered , and I
went out aud committed a highway iobbcrY ntxt niglit . I was afraid I would be hanged , aud then ray conscience ¦ mote me , so I said I would save it and my neck together . 1 thought as much of my necfc , if not more , than I did of my conscience . I feel great inward ( makings now . If you were a priest or minister 1 would tell you more about it . —Mr . Gorman : If I were I would not wish to have such a parishioner as you . "Witness : You might h-ive ajwor . ie , I assure you!—Sir . Gorman : Ou y 9 w oath , do you think there is as great a villain ns yourself breathing the breath of life this moment ? Witness : I don ' t think there is . —Mr . GormaD : Do you think , from Adam to the present day there ever existed a greater villain than you are ! I think not ; I carried a pistol myself according to circumstances ; we had
only one pistol at the Blanchardstewn robbery , aud Quigley had it ; I had it in the park that d » y ; the stock of the pistol was broken before that , but I cannot say how long ; it was broken before the murder ; Doyle was with iis at Blanchardstown ; when I met Quigley in Barrack-street , I told him I supposed the man was dead ; I was taken up ; mv account of the robbery atthe trial was that I was not there at all ; Doyle gave me a whip that he took from one of the men ; I always assisted at robberies , and often knocked down men , but would not like to kill a man : " put it Uiwugh him" was a password , not to put t ia content * through him - . mj comrade understood that a « to frighten the man ; told the story eight days after the trial to an inspector of police in Bridewell-lane ; went to givs myself up as a person concerned in the deed ; can ' t gay where Doyle was the night of the murder , but met him next day . at the King ' s-bridge ; did not tell him a word about the murder ; he was an old companion and friend of mine , and I parted him near
King s-bridge aud went te Tight-street ; methimnext day in a public-iouse in Barrack-street ; the prisoner arfced Doyle to come to Blanchardstown to commit the robbery , which we thought no crime at all ; we throe often went out—jo often , that I can ' t tell ; we would rob any one or any plate , aud did no for years . We were regular oW partners in crime ; I know the prisoner four years or more , and was acquainted with him bufore we robbed several places in the county of Dublin . Doyle and I were robbers and housebreakers loag before we knew the prisoner . Doyle always carried a pistol , powder , and shot . He carried the same sort of shot as waB found in the man ' s bead , and so did I . Doyle and I are seven y ears on the road , and we have committed all sorts of crimes . To the jury : I don ' t expect to get any reward . I do it all out of pure and disinterested motives . Never heard of a reward . The crime lay heavy on my mind , I asBure you . A juror : Of course you told the story to save your neck Witness : Of course I did .
Nottingham , Fbidat . Chabce of Manslacohteb , —Joseph Rollinsun , aged 34 , engineer , and William Lougdon , aged 18 , engineer , both in the employ of Messrs . Wakefield , North , aud Morlcy , were charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , held at Suttall , on the 25 th of August last , with feloniously killing and slaying Thomas Soar . Mr . Wildman stated the case , and called Joseph Barton , overlooker at the Cinderhill Colliery , in theparirh ofXuttall , who said The deceased , Thomas Soars , was employed in the pit on Friday , the 22 ud of August . There is a cage used for the purpose of lifting coals from the pit , which is worked by meant of a steam-engine . Joseph Rollinson had the care of the engine that day , and was assisted by William Longdon as stoker . There is a bell in the
engmt-house , the haudle of which is afctke bottom of the pit . It was Rollinson ' s duty to remain in the enginehouse and watch the bell , and it is also his duty to set the engine at work , in obedience to the signals . Rollinson had been employed as engineer about a year or more , and Longdon had been his assistant for nearly the whole of that time . It is the duty of an engineer to let an engine stand when no signal is given . When the bell ringsonce , it is a signal to go ou if the engine be still , * id if it he in motion it ib a signal to stop . This is a regular rule at Babbington Colliery , as well as at Cinderhill , Atthe time the accident happened , I was gone to breakfast , and as I was returning , I heard that a man had got killed . The banksmen were about the mouth of the pit , and the two prisoners were in the engine-room . Moses Barton—I am
overlooker of the machinery at Cinderhill Colliery , and was so at the time of Soar ' s death . I have repeatedly told both prisoners never to go on without the signals . It is well known that when a man is coming up , or is standing on the cage , he should shout" hold ou . " He should not touch the cage until he has given this signal . ( Other witnesses proved that the deceased omitted doing this . ) Langdon has frequently been allowed to do very important duties , because he is steady and intelligent . On this occasion , having charge of the engine at the moment of the accident , I think he made a mistake by being overanxious . At the time the accident occurred , the
cages were being drawn up , minute by minute , alternately . There are two shafts to tha pit , and the depth of each is 220 yards . The cages were brought up emptied , and let down again , alternately , in the short space of one minute . I am not aware that Rollinson was the cause of the death of a man in a similar way a fortnight before , although one was killed , Other witnesses prored that Langdon had the management of the engine at the moment of thu accident , and Rollinson was set aside , being exempted from the charge b y his lordnhip ; and after a very able defense by Mr . Macauley , the other prisoner was acquitted by the jury . Satcbdai .
The Cba&ce opMi'&deb atNewabk . —William Homer , butcher , of Newark , aged eighteen years , and William Haselby , labourer , of Newark , aged seven teen years , were charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , held at Newarkupon-Trent , the 6 th day of Mar ch instant , with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Perkins , single woman , aged fifteen years . , by throwing her into the Trent . The grand jury found a true biU against Homer ; but in obedience to the recommendation of the Chief Justice , acquitted Uaselby , as no evidence could he adduced against him , further than the confession of the other priso&er . —The ease for the prosecution was conducted by Mr . Wiluiore , and Mr , Macauley defended the prisoner . The prisoner was a butcher at Newark , aud William Haselby down to the day of this occurrence had filled the office of "boots" at
the Swan aud Salmon public-house , when he was dismissed from that service . It appeared that shortly before eleven o ' clock on the night in question the priBouers met in Newark the unfortunate deceased , who some time previously had left , the home of her parents at Leicester and taken to a bad life . The charge against the prisoner was , that he had been guilty on the night in question of the murder of the deceased , and the suggestion for the prosecution was , that he and the other jounp man . Ilaselby , having met the deceased , had induced her to accompany them to the back yard of the Swan and Salmon public-house for impioper purposes , and , after the twofold accomplishment of a purpose ] thence to the lock-gates of the Kewark division of the Trent navigation , where the prisoner had alone , or in conjunction with Haselby . wrapped her shawl over her neck and face , to the depth of niue or ten indies three or
four times , with the object of preventing her crving out or otherwise making an alarm , and then thrown her into the water , where she was drowned , and the dead body picked up on the following morning . Suspicion fell upen the prisoner , and he was brought , on the next day ( Wednesday ) , in custody before Mr . T . F . A . Burnab y the coroner , at the inquest upon the body , where Ilibhert ' the lock-keeper , dvpescd to the i-ffect , that lie \ v « nt to bed a few . * ninutcs before eleven o ' clock , and whilst he was undressing by the light of a candle , in the front room of his iiousc , heard the footsteps of three or four persons going along , ami the sound of voicts , among which was that of a woman . The sound of feet njipi-ared to him to conic from the bottom of the jard uf the Swan and -Salmon public houKO . Then heard the sound of feet as if passing rapidly to and fro , ami tu ' oki qucmly hoard one man crv out once loudly , "Come , look tharp ! " as for

help ; and next somebody passing rapidly over the dockbridge . The sound of one cry only reached his ears . It was a boisterous night . He then opened the window and saw distinctly the prisoner Homer , whom he well knew , and whom , being without 'his hat , he supposed to have gone over to a loaded boat to try aud get it out of the water , run , in a hurried and confused manner , back over the lock-gate , and up a passage which led into the Town-street . Cloned the window and went to bed . The light that he was undressing by was in sight , and within sight of the lock gates . The next morning got up shortly after six o ' clock , and saw four or five men vainly endeavouring to move the lock gate . Thought ho saw in the opening of the gate a cloth of some sort , and looked more cIobuIj ,
and then saw a body , which they got out , and which proved to be that of deceased . Her ubawl was twisted tightly , as above described , but not fattened with any knot , or pin , or other thing . Did not know thu duceaicd . The witness deposed to the same effect to-dny . —Jane Greaves said : I knew the deceased Mary Ann Perkins . Ou Tuesday , the 3 rd of March , had seeii her , and had been walking about with her . I set out to walk again with her about nine o ' clock in the evening . She seemed to be in very good spirits . We walked round the town and met with a man against Middlegate . She left me , and told me to wait for her against Mr . Sundera't , the grocer . This is close to Taylor ' s gin-shop , She said she would not be many minutes . I don ' t know the man ; I know Homer , but it was not he . I never saw her
again . She was living by prostitution . The deceased had been living in Newark about two months , On the morning of the day I last saw her she appeared very unhappy and uncomlortable , and said she should like to get fresh ( drunk . )—Robert Dale said : I am one of the Newark borough polioe , and apprehended the prisoner Homer . He was in the market looking at gone fowls , and said , " I know what you want me for ; I am innocent of the charge ; I never was with the girl—in fact , I don't kuow her . " When I was putting the irons on him at Newark , previous to bringing him to Nottingham Gaol , after his committal , and when Haselby sat besida him , standing on his legs , he said to the crowd , "Gentlemen , this is the man ( pointing to Haselby ) who threw the girl into the river . " Thomas Spencer said : I brought the
prisoners to Nottingham on their committal . At we were coming on the road , we stopped at ttittcliffe , where I gave them something to eat and drink . Homer said to Haselby , " You can neither eat nor drink , and I can . You are going to Nottingham to be judged , and you'll hare to confess before you die . " He afterwards said , " One told you to throw her in , and another saw you do it . " Haselby said , " Aye , who 1 " And Homer replied , " Why , the devil told you to do it . " This occurred last Saturday . —Ann Yeomanson said : The deceased was my daughter by my first husband . I saw her body at Newark , aud identified it . Up to July last , she had always borne a good character , when she suddenly left me , and I never saw her alive after . The witness was dressed in deep mourning , and was much a fleeted . —Mr .
Crott , surgeon of Newark : Had seen the deceased several tlmeB before her death . He had attended her for the venereal complaint . When he last saw her she was suff . iring very severely from necondary symptoms , and hud several large buboes on the upper part of the thigh and lower part of the body . At the time he examined the body these sores remained . The deceased had evidentl y struggled 6 everelj after having been thrown into the water . He had no doubt death was caused by drowning . There were no mark 6 up » n the body Indicative of violence having been used to cause death . —Thomas F . A . Burnaby , gentleman , ceroner of Newark , produced the depositions taken on the inquest . Upon being cautioned , the prisoner said , " I don ' t know the deceased : I don ' t know that erer I n » w her in my life . I was not near the
lock last night ; I want to bed at a quarter to eleven , and have witnesses to prove it . " On the second day he said , " I and another young man , named William Haselby , who lives as ' boots' at the Swan and Salmon Inn , at Newark , met a young woman , whom I do not know , near Mrs . Weller ' s shop in Stodmun-street , on Tuesday night last , about half-past ten o ' clock . Weallwenttogetherdotvn the Swan and Salmon yard , leading to the navigation side , and also to the lock entry from Castle-gate , into a ¦ table in the Swan and Salmon yard . We then went down to the water side , where I shook hands with the girl , and wa 6 going up the lock entry , when Haselby called the girl back to look at a pole which was in the water . She did so , and was standing at the edge of the bank , when Haselby pushed her head first into the water , and ran
away ; he did not come back again . I ran to her assistance , and did my best to get her out , but could not , She did not cry out , | but I shouted for assistance several times , and no one came . I stayed until I could sea her no morr , when I went away . If an ; one hud come to mv assist . ance , I could have got her out . There was a pol&float . ing in the water , and I tried to reach it , but could not ; if I could have got the pole I could have got her out . I then went to my lodgings in Parliament-street , and aB I was going to the back door I saw . Haselby knocking at the front . He asked me to let him in , but I said ha could not sleep with me that night . He then inquired whether I had got the woman out , and I told him I had not , but that if he had stopped I could have done so . I saw him vesterday , when he said he did not mean to chuck the
girl into the water , but that he was fresh . He cttrtainlv was fresh , but not so much ko as not to kuow what he was doing . " On thct third day he made another state , ment , which was very similar to that given on the previous day . —Mr . Macauley , with much eloquence and at great length , addressed the jury , clearing up many dark points against the prisoner with great aurantage , and letting in the most favourable view every circumstance » fa mitigating nature . The learned judge summed up very carefully and with much calmness , and impartially commented upon the various parts of the evidence , Whilst the jury were considering their verdict , Superintendent Whitworth came into the court in great haste , and informed the counsel and attorneys for the prosecution , that a female named Cree had just arrived from Newark to rive evidence on the trial . She was not sure
which of the prisoners it was that committed the murder until she saw them , but that the saw a young mun ( Homer , she believed ) , on the night in question , strike the deceasad with a pole , wrap her head in her shawl , and throw her into the Trent . His lordship , upon being informed of this circumstance , directed th « woman ' s deposition to be taken . After about a quarter of an hour ' s consultation , the jury returned a verdict of Not . Quilty against the prisoner . Having perused the document of the strange witness who had just arrived at the eleventh hour , the Chief Justice ordered Homer to be retained in custody , and discharged Haselby on his own recognisances to appear again when culled upon . In the courje of Saturday evening , Homer was discharged from custody in obedience to an order from the judge ' s lodgings , thus showing that no reliance is placed on the teitiraony of the woman Cree .

The prisoner was a dressmaker , and the body of the child was discovered in a state of putrefaction by her mistress , uuder the bed , wrapped in a black cloth Mid an old petticoat .

The prisoner nearly stran . gled biro , and knelt upon his chest till the blood gushed from his ears ; after which , leaving him in a « inseiuible state , he made off , taking also a stick / ind tobacco-box belonging to the man who but an hour before had entertained him . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner , who had been previously convicted , and against whom there were two other indictments , was sentenced to ten years' transportation .
DoKcnESTBn , Saturday . Akson . —Joseph Way was indicted for maliciously setting fire to a stack of corn , the property of Mary Ann Biles , at Miluorne St . Andrew . From the evidence it appeared that , on the evening of the 31 st Jan ., the prisoner aud some others were drinking together at the Oak Inn , at llilborne St , Andrew , and that , between eight and nine o ' clock , the prisoner having previously left the house , an alarm of fire was heard . The persons drinking in the tap-room left the house , and they found the pri . soner standing outside : He then exclaimed , pointing to the five , "Look at that light there ! " One ofthe men said , it must be the moon , or the light from the mail-coach , which passed the spot nt that hour . The prisoner said , " No . it must be afire ; " and thereupon they went to the
farm of Mr . Benjamin Biles , where they discovered a rick of barley on lire . The prisoner assisted in extinguishing this fire , and he was heard to say , " This iis enough to open any farmer ' s eyes . Rather than turn a man out that ' s got a family , they had better give him a sovereign to keep him in work . " The prisoner suddenly disappeared , and in a few minutes afterwards another lire was discovered within 300 yards of Mr . Jiiles ' s rick , nnd tlie prisoner pretended to be very active in extinguishing the fiames . This second fire proved to be a wheat stack belonging to the " Widow Biles ; " and it was given in evidence that the prisoner said , whilst surrounded by the neighbours who were exerting themselves on theooca ' sion , "Sow ' s your time to spent out , because this fire will be blamed to those who are out of work , although they mightn ' t have anything to do with it more than othu ' r

people . " A few minutes after this he was met in a gateway in the neighbourhood , running with all speed from the direction of the second fire to the spot where the first tire took place . The person who then saw him came in close csntact with him , and observing he was breathless and agitated , he said to him : " Holloa , my friend , who are you ! " The prisoner made no answer , and the witness toolt hold of him , exclaiming , as be pointed towards the fire , "Do jousee that—what is HI" "It ' s a fire , " ho replied . " Witness said , " How do jou know that ! " and he made no answer . At this moment two gentlemen came up on horseback , and , as they approached the prisoner and the witness , one of them exclaimed , " For God ' s sake opon the gate ! " The witness said , " No , I shall not open the gate till I know who this man is . " The prisoner then said his name was Joseph Way , and the witness immediately let him go , and ran as fast as ho coul d to the place whence the flames issued . The witness had known Joseph Way before , but
the night was dark , and he did not recognise him at first . In addition to this evidence , it was proved that about ten minutes before the occurrence of the first fire , the prisoner purchased a box of lucifer matches , and that during the second fire his conduct was so indecent , that the clergyman of the parish felt it his duty to reprove him . He made use of very violent language , and amused himself by throwing dung at one of the persons present . He whs also observed to Btir up the fire with a pole , under pretence of putting it out , but the clergyman fearing that ho was adopting means which might extend the flames , desired the pole should be taken away from him . Subsequent to this evening , a few lucifer matches were found in the prisoner ' s bed-room , and evidence was given to show that these did not belong to the same box which he had purchused shortl y before the fire . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner was sentenced to transportation for life , and when taken from the bar , he strongly protested that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him , Tuesday
Pierre Benard Mallet was indicted for the wilful murder of John Meckew , at Netherbury , on the 6 th Dccember . The prisoner , although he had been fur many years in Englaud , is still a Frenchman ; he was therefore asked whether he would be tried b y a jury of Englishmen or a jury consisting of half Englishmen and ball foreigner ! . He at once said , " By Englishmen . " It appeared that the prisoner was a kind of trump , and w » a always accompanied by a woman who passed aB his wife , but weut by the nama of Kitty . They travelled through and about Dorsetshire , and were well known . The woman had lived with him for fourteen years . On the even ing of the ( ith of Duceraber , they were at Palmer ' s public house at West Clifton ; tbe woman became very much in
toxieated , and the prisoner was anxious to get her awuy , and took up almost every perton ' g cup of beer and drank out of it . Tht man and the woman cursed each other , and he held up a stick at her and threatened to beat her . The deceased was also in the house , and he said to the woman , I am going to Briduort , and I will tee you . The woman said she had lived with the prisoner fourteen years , but she , was not his wife . That he was jealouB of every one , and she would not live with him any longer . Some time was consumed iu this jarring , aud at last tbe prisoner left . Soon after the woman went out and then the deceased . The prisoner had gone to see some one , and had not proceeded in the direct road to Bridport ; but he afterwards overtook a man ( Roper ) ,
uud asked if he had seon a man and woman on the road . Roper said he had not seen them , but he could hear their voices at that moment , and directed the attention of the prisoner to that circumstance . The prisoner then said , " I ' ve got a stick in my baud , and if I catch them at something ( you know what ) , I'll give them a good beau ing . " He had a good-sized walking-stick with him . Roper and the prisoner then separated ; but in a few minutes , Uoper heard two perBons crjing "Murder . " It appeared to proceed from a man and woman . He instantly started to the spot whence the sounds proceeded . He got into a fi « ld adjoining the turnpike-road , aud looked over the hedge , saying , " Stop , thej ' ve had enough . " Theprisoner was then beatiug a man , whe wa ! on the ground . The man was holding up his arm to
prevent the blows striking his head . The man so striking was the prisoner , who said , " D—n your eyes , you ' re not half a man for me , " aud he then gave him a blow with hia fist . The woman at this time was staggering about the road , cursing and swearing , and was as drunk as could be . Roper asked him if the woman was his wile , and prisoner said she was , but the woman said , " You ' re a liar ; I ' ve been w . tli you many years , but I'll not go with you again . " The prisoner had previously told Roper that he had caught them in the fact . The woman was so drunk that she could not stand upright . Roper then went to the man on the ground , and told him to get up , and he would protect him . The deceased got up , went into an adjoining field , and then lay down in a ditch . Thu woman weut uwuy , and the prisoner followed her . Roper went back to the
deceased , and talkod to him for ten minutes , and told him lie would catch cold . Deceased said his arm tvua broken , the man had beaten him so , and he would have him befory his betters the next day . No one was then in liquor but the woman . In about an hour and a half after this , a woman , wholivednear Chilcott ' s public house , which was nearly two miles from the place where tho man was lying in the ditch , heard a noise outside her door . She weiu out and heard a groan , and then she saw it proceeded from a man who was lying in the mud in the road . A man ofthe name of Biddlecoinb came and took the man , who turned out to be the deceustd , by the arm and begged him to get up , but he did not speuk . The woman procured a candle , and then saw thure was a wound in the deceased ' s face and head , The blood had dried over
the wound . The deceased never spoke , The woman went to Chilcott ' s public-house . She afterwards returned to the deceased , and Brown , the constable , came , and then some men carefully removed the deceased , and put him under a gurden < wall in the road . The witness saw him about two in the morning , and he was then Bnoring . Every one thought he was drunk . The next morning ( Sunday ) , about six o ' clock , the deceased was found where he was left the uiglit before . He was quitidead . The prisoner had told several persons that he had caught the deceased with hia wife , and had bcuten him well about his head ami ears . —The jury . returned a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter . —The prisoner was fined a shilling , and discharged .

The prisoner , Who Was Stated to be iu the last stage of consumption , having been seated in the doek , Mr . Beadon , as counsel for the Crown , stated the facts of the case to thv jury , which were briefly these : —The prisoner , with sevnal others , amongst whom was the deceased , were drinking together at a public-house , when , as it seemed , in a frolic ( for all the witnesses agreed that there was no quurrel or ill-will subsisting between the parties ) Dorrell caught the deceased by the collar , and threw him over his shoulder , apparently intending that he should alight on his feet . His strength , however , was unfortunately insufficient for the purpose , for the poor man fell upon the back of his neck , and sustained an injury of the spinal vertebras , inducing paralysis , and ultimately causing his death . Dorrell assisted in placing him in a chair , and brought a doctor , but afterwards absconded into 8 ootknd . —Guilty . His lordship sentenced him to b .- imprisoned for ono week .

Luke ' s , became the scene of great excitement , in consequence of the following occurrence : —It ^ appeara that at the liour above mentioned , Mary Murray , a widow , was , together with several other parties , in a house in George-yard , Golden-lane—one of those sinks of iniquity so common in that district , termed private gin-houses—in which spiritsare retailed te all Borts of characters , after the regular taverns and public-houses are closed . Whilst there a young man named Martin Jennings , a bricklayer ' s labourer , went in , and the deceased and lie were noticed for some time to be conversing together , whenall of a
, sudden , Jennings called for a quartern of gin . Upon pulling his money out of his pocket , he said he had lost a shilling , and accused the deceased with having picked his pocket . The allegation was stoutly denied by the female , when high words ensued between them . From words they came to blows , and Jennings , with his clenched fist , made an aim at Murray ' s face , which he struck with great violence . Some of the people in the place tried to bring about a reconciliation , but the deceased still persisting that she bad not taken the money , her antagonist gave her another dreadful blow over the eye . The deceased then made for the door , and , having gained tho court , was in the
act of escaping to Golden-lane , when she was overtaken by Jennings , who gave her another violent blow , which knocked her down upon her back , her head striking the wall of a dnsthole as she fell . Mr . Inspector Tierney , upon being made aware of what had happened , sent a number of constables , with the stretcher , to convey the injured woman to Featherstone-street station-house . Upon her arrival there she was immediately attended to by Mr . Mather the divisional surgeon , who did all that the nature of her case would permit of , but without any beneficial effect for she expired shortly after her admission The body was , at a subsequent hour of the dav . rnmnw . il

LOSS OF THE BARQUE FRANCIS SPAIGHT , AND TWENTY-ONE PERSONS . The ship England ' s Queen arrived in the Mersey in Monday afternoon from Bombay and the Cape of Good Hope , which latter port she left on the 19 th of January . This is the latest arrival from that quarter ; and to Captain Sheddings , the commander of the vessel , we are indebted for the Cape of Good Hope and Natal Shipping and Mmantih QasMe ofthe 9 th of January , conveying the following melancholy intelligence of the loss of the Francis Spaight : — "During tho night between Tuesday and Wednesday last , it blew a violent gale from the northward , and at six , a . m ., on Wednesday , the squalls were very
severe . "At eight o ' clock , on the 30 th , the wind came more to the westward , in a hard squall , accompanied with torrents of rain , when the barque Francis Spaight , of 366 tons , from Manilla to London , wa $ observed driving towards the strand , and an attempt was unfortunately made to set the mainsail , which brought the vessel ' s broadside to the shore ; and in this position , with the mainsail aback , she continued to drive until she struck the ground near the slave lodge , about a mile from- the village of Papendorp , when , m consequence of being broadside to the beach , she rolled heavily , the sea occasionally breaking nvftr
her decks . A . whale boat and a surf boat were sent from Capo Town . The whale boat succeeded in getting alongside the barque , and a line was thrown over the vessel by the rocket apparatus . The moment tho boat touched the side , the crew of tha barque who appeared to have lost all presence of mind , rushed into her , when she was filled and cap . sized , and , sad to relate , the captain and fourteen men of the crew were drowned , together with four KSR . ™ ^' ! boats crew , named Thomas Williams , William laylor , John Jackson , and Charles Norton * t " w *» rf boat an «> another boat were also sent from the fcorth \ Y barf , by Messrs . T . and J . Sinclair both boats capsized , and two men , named Dollieand Peter were drowned . '
