» ai to the effect that the partie * and sympathi ^ rs tad crossed the fine from Alburgb , and were burnmg and destroying er « ry thing on their march . W e < lontot wry much if the rascals will remain so lou ^ on thaaide as t « allew of their being well thrashed . The rumour of an incursion being meditated Irian t&e above quarter has been current for nearly a fcrtnight , and in consequence of it , about furty o ! our volunteer artilitTy offered a few davs ago . iheir « emcMiio proceed Uuther if required , and take with them three aine-pouudrrs , but there is little chance of reaching the marauders , even with these .
( From the same . ) We received yesterday later in t elligence from both provinces—from Montreal , a * kt « as Thnrsday last . Wearesorry to find in me J / o «** o / £ fcraW an article , from which we mate an extract , which confirms tke rumours that have reached us , at another intended movement of banditti against the lower province . If it be attempted the instigators of it must be lost not only to the lesson * which experience sh *« ld have tangbt them , bot to the ordinary impulses of humanity . How can the Government there listen for an instant to the dictate * of merer towards the misguided men now in their power , when theyfiad that leniency only beget * new assaults on their people and territory ? We have it from undoubted authority that the Americans on our frontier are -ag ^ ia abeai . tbeir xmwork of
haUo ^ ed -s ympathising . " Booohettr , the t * o tigers , aad Ganon , ar » now at Champbiin . in command of a large baiy of men . Colonel Bryant , < lhas Grand Eagle , is at A ' . burgh , under the pretence of conducting a military school , and he certainly has&n extraoTdinary ' number of pnpsls , if they all pay for their tuition ' . Malhiot and Dr . Cote are at Swanton with atout 2000 refugees Mid Americans , all of whom are well armed and previded for . The immediate ohject of these rebeli and brigand * is the destrnction of tbe loyalists ef Mi * siquoi Bay , in revenge for their having been soundly thrashed there , and tbeir ultimate object is to indnce them to retaliate by a visit to the American ride , dnring which it is de-me r . probable they will make such ample atonement as will force on a war between the two countries .
{ From the Montreal Herald . ) Yesterday morning , at nine o ' clock , Joseph Narosse Cardinal and Joseph Dnquet , were executed in front of the aew gaol ; but as it was not generally supposed that our timid Government would have the moral courage to carry tbe sentence of the Court ¦ Martial into execution against any of tbe guilty rebels , there were not many spectators . Three companies of the Royal and three of the 24 th Regiment * formed inside the gaol square , sopported by a detachment of die Queen s Light Dragoons , under Capt . Jon ^ s . On Thursday evening Cardinal was visited by his wife and two o ' t his chiMren , and Dnqnet was nsrted bv bis mothtr , to take a last farewell on this
aide the grave . The unfortunate prisoners were attended by the clergymen of the seminary , who adainistered appropriate religious consolation to them . Their appearance on the scaffold strongly belied the character of brave men meeting death ; Cardinal , in particular , shewing great emotion , and trembling so violently tkat we did not expect he would have tood the soon religious ceremony without fainting . The Provost Marshal read the sentence of the Court , after which the hangman pulled the fatal lever , when the trap-doers g ave way . and tne two rebels were exhibited between earth and heaven , a spectacle U > angels and to men-Cardinal was a public notary at Chateauguay , and
a member of the House of Assembly of tbe late Provincial Parliament . Duquet was his clerk , and might have been forced by hu employer . We have been frequently asked when and where Lepaill « -ur and Dncharme are to be hanged , but all that we can savia , that we understand their death-warrants have been signed by Sir John Colborne , and that it is reported they will be hanged Bt BeaubarnoLs . Martin Woodruff , one of the American brigands taken at Windmill Point , was hanged at Kingston on Wednesday morning last . He w « s a native of Salina , Onondaga countv , New York , and held the situation of Militia Colonel and Deputy Sheriff . He died a Catholic , to which religions persuasion he was recently converted . Warrants for the execution of other ol
¦ Sylvauus Swete and Joel Peeler , two the brigands , had been received by the Sheriff of the district , and they were hanged on Saturday . Court Mabtial . —A militia Conrt Martial has been ordered to assemble at London on the 27 th instant , for the trial of the pirates lately taken in the west . The under-named officers cempose the Court : — His Excellency is pleased to name Celonel John Bostwick , of the 3 rd Regiment , Middlesex , to be President of the said Court Martial ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Sherwood , of the 2 nd Regiment , North York , to be Judge Advocate ; and that besides the President , the following officers of militia of the province be members thereof : —

As soon as the journals were read this moruiag , Mr . Ad-ons moved to amend them , so as to insert at length his motion of Mouday last , to suspend the rule lor the purpose of taking up the subject of Mr . Stevenson ' s correspondence with O'Conuell ; and also that he had presented to the House an iuceudiary ^ letter , which he had received , threatening to assassinate him . Mr . Le ^ is , of Alabama , objected to the proposed amendment , as he considered the letter nothiug but a qniz . The same opinions were expressed by other members . Mr . Adams replied , that he had not presented the letter from any apprehension of personal danger , but because the act wai an outrage np « n the rights and privileges of a member .

SOLTH AMERICA . ( From the New York Enquirer . ) . We ye ^ rd ay recrived by the Express Mail accounts from New Orleans to the 20 th instant , which gives more at length the intelligence which has reached that city from Tampko . It is of a much L * ter date than the Drevions accounts led as to anticipate , and removes ths obscurity and contradictions which before prevailed . It now mppeara tbat Tam-}> ioo was attacked by tin Govprumnnt forces , and that after a severe con test they were rvpuWed with a Uws , which we cannot but think exaggerated ; the aAiailanti , who ic Ls said numbered only 800 , having lost 500 in killed and wounded .

Pett \ Felonies . —No fewer than neventeen persons were committed for trial from Hatten-garden police-office on Monday , on charges of petty felony . Of these fourteen were boys , whose ag * B varied from eleven to fifteen , and the greater part of whom were reeognised as reputed thieves . ' Atrocious Outkaoe on a young Female by Three Paddinoton Boatmen Une of the most atrocious outrages we have for some time past had to record , was perpetrated on ¦ Wednesd ay evening last , upon the pewon ol a female named Jane Gale , a native of Trowbridge , Wilta . It appears that the young woman , who is onl > 19 years of age , and of respectable connections , quitted tb « above place about a wetk agoowing to a quarrel
, with her stepmother ; and with the intention ' of obtaining a situation , came up to London . Having no friends with whom she could sojourn , she engaged a lodging at a beer-shop , kept by a man named Robins , in Chapel-street , Lisaou Grove , and while there formed an acquaintance with aaotber female , who , on the afternoon in question , expressed a wish to vi * it her mother in the Harrow Road , and asked Gale to accompany her . She agrt-cd to do se ; and they passed on along the bauks of the canal . On arriving at a spot between Paddington and Kensall Green , it was determined upon , aa "it was getting late and dark , that they should not proceed further that night , kut return home , and on the following their
morning resume journey . They accordingly retraced their steps * , when , observing a canal boat progressing toward * town , they bailed the boatmen , who hauled to , and after an arrangement had been entered into with regard y > the fare , the female , Jane Gale ,, stepped on board , but had no sooner done so than the boat was pushed off , leaving ber companion behind , when in an instant she ( Gale ) was forcibly dragged into the cabin by the ruffianly fellows , three in number , each of who » , notwithstanding her struggle ? to release herself , violated her person , and prevented her from calling fos assistance by covering her mouth with their hand * . On reaching NichoU ' 8 Wharf , she wns put on shore in a most
exhausted state , and with the utmost difficulty contrived to walk to her dwelling , when she eommunicated the particulars of the diabolical outrage to her landlord , and subsequently to Serjeant Arrowsmith , at the Station House of the D di'ision , in Harcourtstree V . . He < Serjeant ) then sent for Mr . Vickers , the divisional surgeon , whose evidence went to show that the poor creature had been subjected to the most brutal and merciless treatment , and that there was no reason whatever for doubting the truth of htr narration . Information of the affair was promptly made known to the Commissioners of
Police , and Serjeant Thompson , 4 D is now actively employed in endeavouring to e&ptare the offender * , who are thus described : —Tb « y are each about twenty years of age , one five ftet ten inches hi ^ h , pale complexion , and dreaded in a light smock frock and white cap ; the second , two or thrve inches shorter , of dark complexion , and wearing a smock frock , dark troust-rs , and black cap ; ^ nd itb e third , who is al > out five feet uine , wore a tUonel frock dark trousers , and black hat . The occurreocs has c < iu < cJ a considerable degree of sensation ia the neiuhbourhood .
Mansion-House . —On Tuesday week , a poor woman , naftird Bridget Hurley , was brought before the Lord Mayor by a respectable inhabitant of Bixhopjsgate , in a state of great distress . The gentleman stated that the woman , who was well known iq tbe neighbourhood of Leadenhall-market an & mo * t honest and industrious creature , had of late been , by ihe badness ol' the times , completely deprived of tbe means of supporting herself and her four children . The husband had been tried at the Old Bailey , and she had sold all she had in the world to pay the lawyer and counsel for defending him . He was transported , and the had struggled against a great weight of calamities for a longtime , but at last to
wa » obliged apply for permission , with ber four children , to take up her abode in the workhouse . As , however , she had been born in Ireland , she could not be admitted , although there was every disposition to f * ervc her , on account of her excellent character . Tbe Lord Mayor asked bow long the woman was from Ireland ? Bridget Hurley said mat when she came from Ireland to this country sbe was no more than four years and a half old , and she had been in England ever since . The Lord Mayor— " Then probably you know very few people there ? " Bridget Hurley— ' Not a sonl , my Lord . " Mr . Hobler— " Tbe poor creature might as well be set down with her four children in the deserts ofi Arabia . " The Lord Mavor—" Nota doubt of it .
But we shall find out some better mean * lor her . You xay she went to great expense to defend her unfortunate husband ? " Mr . Booker—" She beggared berself , my LoTd , to do it , and she never recovered tbe blow since . " The Lord Mayor" That is her business . " Mr . Booker— "She goes about with poultry , and a more honest , hard-working woman cannot be . " The Lord Mayor— " Tries I am sure she shall not go on a desperate chance to Ireland . She shall have the means of procuring a good basket of poultry ; and Mr . Booker , you will have the goodnecs to see that ghe commences business pr-iperly . Bridget Hurley— "May tha Lord for ever bless you lor your charity to a poor and almost widowed mother . "
Naval Blessings . — None can feel surprised at the difficulty experienced in manning the Navy , when practices like those to which our attention has been directed continue to be so generally prevalent . We have heard of and noticed the tyrannous system pursued by the officers of the Vanguariin . ovt stationed ff Malta before , and it really would seem that their amusement consisted in causing unmerited punishment to be inflicted on the men . Tbe pump has always been a favourite instrument of vengeance with these gentlemen , and ia cases of petty insubordination it might not be so very objectionable , but that it ia by no means considered sufficient ; they must , like the tyrants of the other , service , break the
spirit , if not , indeed , the hearts , of the men , by having constant recourse to the blood-stained lash . Nor is even tbis all . Another species of torture has been invented , which , if it l » e not the most acutuly paisful , is certainly the Htost disgusting and beastial that ever was put in practice—we allude to what they appropriately tern tbe oholtey—a place in tbe dampest part of the ship , about four feet long , by two and a half wide , in which , for the most venial offruces , men are confined for fourteen or tweutyoue day * , and kept solely on bread and water , without being allowed to leave either to wash ' or to . shave , or even to answer the common calls of Nature ! Such a disgusting mode of punishment may accord
with the dirty ideas of the filthy devils in command , it is true ; hut what salutary object can they propose to themselves by its adoption ? Ia it possible that they can imagine that men are madebolder or better , or more obedient , by such trtatmeat ? Conceive a man cramped in a box or a hole of this description for three blessed weeks , without being permitted to c » me ont of it even for an instant ! The idea is sufficiently disgusting ; but what must the place be ? They may well call it a citify ! It is enough to cboka a nightman . Nor does even tbis content the gallant officers of the Ytmguard . "When a man has
been for twenty-nn « days squatted down in this cA'Aey , he is naturally more than half-dead ; to remedy which , by putting a little more lite into him , they have him up to the gangway and give him a few dozen lashe * , with a view , ot course , to pr omote the circulation ef the blood 1 To these brave , gal / ant officers , such a system of punishment may be extremely amusing , bot it ia one which merits the loudest execration , and ao long as it is suffered to be practised in the servicemen who voluntarily enter it must consent \ & be placed in h position far worst than that ff m . ere galley riaves , ^ JPee % y ^ vatch ,

Thb Murmb or Lord Nobbury . -We cannot , says the- X >* 4 /«* Evening Post , fairly ssy we were ignorant of some reports in circulation regarding the murder oC Lord Norbury—though we certainly had nut an opportunity ° f * eemg any of these reports in print . Our attention baa been called to tbe subject by the following strange artiole , which we find in the Evening Mmit of lastnight . It is in the form of a letter to the editor of that journal . The insinuation , it seems , was that " Lord Morbury wa « murdered by one of his own family . " The reply is as follows :-The late Lord Norbury had a serious misunderstanding with hit son , gome three or four years back , and in a moment of temporary
excitement he made a wilV absolutely disinheriting this son , the present Lord , © odpermitted this sou to arrive in time sufficient for mutual - " explanation ' s and forgiveness , and he has tbe consolation of feeling thathi » lamentedfatherdidnot depart this life without bestowing upon him the parental blessing . The late Lord had not the most remote idea that his end wm so near . He breathed hi ¦» last in ten minutes after the occurrence I have stated to you took place otherwise not the slightest doubt exists in the minds of any one of the family that the former will would have been
cancelled , or , at least , been modified . Ihe present Earl inherits an , entailed estate of some £ 3 , 000 a-year ; . but every thing in hi * father ' s power was left to a second son rwith a large jointure to Lady Norbury . Now , if any one man had a greater interest than another in Lord Norbury ' t » life it was his eldest son , who is-thus so cruelly maligned and slandered ; if he were actuated by no better motive than the desire of a reconciliation which , alas !• took place too late-to recal ahasty act ' done under peculiar circumstances . And yet with his miserable pittance , with his hopes crushed and
his p rospect * blighted , this slandered son offers to settle an aanuky of a hundred a , year for life upon him who will prosecute to- ennviction the murderer of his father , and this long before the libels upqn him in the newspapers met his eye . " The Poor Law . —On ' Thursday week ) a highly re * pectable meeting of the inhabitant * of Mile-end , Old-town , took place at the town-house , in Mileend-road , in consequence of the recent resi gnation * of several of the giiardiaus who had heen elected to represent rhi ratepayers at-tjbehoard of the Stepney Y ° ™** ¦>? * ^ hair was taken by Mr . Jamps , otie of ™ ft ¦ Cfl . n ^ wardens , and Mr . Seratchard , one of the gerftleraen who had Tesignud his" seat at the Board f Guardians
p , entered into a lengthened and lucid Statement to justify the , course adopted by his coadjatori and bjmself . , Iu the course of his address , Mr . Scratchard dwelt severely upon the conduct of the Chairman of the Board ( Mr . G . F . Young ) for having in the first instance nupporttd them ( the Guardians ) , in the resolution , which had for its object the removal of an unjust and intolerable burthen lrom the rate-payers of tne hamUt of Mile-end , and afterwards , when the Commissioners refused to sanction it , turned round , aud not only gave his vote as an ex-officio Guardian , but also ats chairman . Mr . Scratchard designated the Poor Law Bill as a mere political job , and expressed a hope it would not receive the sanction of a single- rate-payer . On the contrary , he had no doubt they would une their best xertions to
e get rid of it Altogether ; Mr . HflK . on * of the * peak « rv 8 aid ^«« Tbe Poor Law Bill is « base nuisance altogeithery it " f » ifjoWeal , WHigi Badical , place-m . ak > pg BUl r ^ ij-. riaiati&t ^^; and I hope y ^ u will washf . jpur han ^ . ofUaltogether . Apuomt no Guardians at , ullj and get t } i of ''"¦ $ « wretched thing . " The meatjog Vighly approved of the coDduct of those of the Giuwrdians of the Hamlet who had resigned their seats ,, as it wa » quite oj « ar fcom the disposition of the Poor Law Commissioners they could no longer hold office advantageously to tho interests of the inhabitants of the populous district they represented , or honourably to themselves ; and it wa » determined , if , nossible , to separate the hamlet from the Union , and get rid of the haughty domination of the Poor . Law Commissioners altogether .
Impressment . — Unetebsai / Suffrage . — . On Wednesday evening week , a public meeting , convened by the Mayor of Gateskead , was held ia tke Town Hall , Oakwell © ate . A requisition had been got up by the Whigs , but no public announcement was made till Uie afternoon of Wednesdays when a few placards- announced the fact that a meeting was to be beld " for the purpose of caar sidering the question of impressment , with a viaw to a more efficiant system of manning the najry ; and also to consider th * propriety of petitioning for a repeal of taxes upoa articles used in the construction and provisioning oi vessels , in order to enable the British nhipowner to compete more successfully
with the foreigner . " Shortly after seven a' . clock , the Mayor took the chair , and opened th » proceedings . Mr . W .. L .. Harle moved the first rajsalulion , to the effect that impressment was disgraceful , and that either additional bounty , increase ofi pay , or other means ought to be resorted to , ia order ' , to put the man-of-war and merchant service * an a , footing and do away with the necessity for impressment . The motion . wa 3 seconded by Mr . G& . Watson , and Mr . G . Stxaker spoke in its support . Mr . WillVam Atkinson ,. a working man , moved aa , amendment , to the effect ^ , that it was wholly useless . to petition the present House of Commons upon iha subject of impressment j that there was only one remedy for the
manifold evils of society , and th . » t remedy was UHiveasal Suffrage . Mr . Atkinson , prefaced his amendment by a powerful speaoh . ; T , h » people had too l » ng suffered themselves , to , he impressed and ballotted , as well as plundered , of » beir honest easnings ; they had two loag fought the patties of d « 8 Botism , they would do so po logger ; they were still willing to fight , for al > i tjiejr degradation had no * subdued the spirit ofi Knglifdwaen ; they were still able to fight , for all th ^ ir , hus ^ er and nakedness had not been able to snbdue tkeir strength ; they , still had arms in theis . hn ^ da , aotwithstanding the efforts of the cowardly tjyr , a * J » to sink them into naked , defenceless sJuye * , ' But henceforth their spirit , their strengthanA their defensive asms
, should be directed apaws * their oppressors , if , they did not give up ptjaceabl ^ those rights of wfciicb . the people had top . long keea plundered . * Wj » John Hnnter , an oj , p . 9 R * JiAN , seconded th » amendment , denouncing in good round seaman phrase , the brutal p ^ ressiona . and murders that bad been perpetrated upon the Tars of England ^ , " by the corn-Wned lipries ao 4 "Whigs , and trulj observing that so lo « g sa , eitWr the one or the othw faotion had the rultsg Qf the oauntry , there could , he no security for a » y man or set of men . The amendment was then put from the chair , when the whole Hall sported one dense fosest of hands , and ©» the original motion
being put , the Whigs swore there were fifteen hands in its favour . It is believed , however , that they " saw double" on this occasion , as only seven hands were visible to the rent of the meeting . Mr > W . H . Brockett then moved , and Mr . MvLeod seconded the second i esolution—that the duties imposed upon sbip-building materials and ship stores , should be repealed . This motion was also lost aa its . predecessor , amidst the loud cheers ot the meeting . Three cheers were given for the Canadians , three for xho Northern Liberator , and three dismal groans for the Gateshvad Obsefver , and the crowd separated highly satisfied with the tremendous flooring they had given the W | higs in their own hole an . d . porner meeting ,- ^ Northe rn i « ier « for .

MURDEB—On Thursday afternoon , the bodyof an infant , decapitated and dismwnbered , waa-found in a .- ditch near tbe New Nortk-road , at Hexton . A boy , who was- passing , saw the head sticking in » amuddy part of the ditch , face upwards , and thinKng that it was a mask began throwing stones at it , bv which in positioivwas changed , and other persons whom his conduct had drawn to the spot , took out the object and found it to be a child ' s head . At some distance in the ditch , where there was a greater depth of water , a paper parcel was afterwards discovered , which proved to be the body , wrapped up in a newspaper , Tke Weekly . Dispatch
Julys . The head and the : body were then taken possession of by Polfee Serjeant Clark , U-N , who ^ came up at the time , and were by him conveyed to Mr . Coward , a surgeon , who found the body to be ; that of a recently torn female infant . The head ¦ had been taken off at a joint , and the right arm , which had not been found , appeared to have been cut off with a Tough instrument . There were severe contusions upon the head , and considerable ' raises upon the side , from whiah it was conjectured that . the poor little thing had been killed by dashing it . agarnnt-a wall or , similar shard subiitance , and that ( he uismemberment had taken place some time after dsath . It had evidently not been lung in the di ' tob when it-wa * discovered ^ for the wet had not yet completely penetrated parts of the newspaper in

Islington , It appeared from t » e evidence , that on Sunday-last , a lad , who was at Newton ' s Wharf , near the Rosemary Branch Tavern , found the body , floating in the water , in which it was supposed to have been two or three days , tt had not received the usn : il at'ention at the birth ; but there was no proofthat it had been bom aiiv * s , ftr appearance of violence- to o casion death , aod » HBe Jury , under the coroner ' s direction , returned ? a verdict accord ^ ingly . ¦ ' ¦¦ '
Theatricals in Tribulation . —On Wednesday week , at Union Hall police office , four men and three women were ushered into the presence of the Magistrates , for being engaged in a theatrical performance at an unlicensed p lace . The passage * of the office ' * ' wefe thVonged with" niembera of trie sock and buskin belonging to > the penny , theatres anxious to hear the result of the proceedings againse their brethren in custody . Inspector King , of tht L divwifen , prefaced bis complaint against the defen dast » " bjr describing the ' imi ^ ance- created , owing to the existence of penhy" theatre * in the division to which h $ was attached j arid many otherain the metropolis .

The house in which the performance was- gping forward is a miserable wreckWa bufl'dihg / in a most tottering condition , and it is a miracle that it has not fallen down long since . The moment the policemen made their appearance a scene of the most indescribable confcisiou occurred ; the audiencr consisting principally of young persons of both / sexes , the majority of whom were of the worst character , in their hurt v to escape out of the house tumbled over one another , the
brok «^ down Meats , and coainiitted other damage in the course of their exit . The Inspector now produced a bill of the performance , in which it was announced that the p lay was " The Smuggler's BrbthKT ; to be followed by "The Grecian Statues , " and ' ^ A Spare bed ; " the character of " Petei Pl | iei ) nviirjdy" ' tobe supported by an ' eminent perfffrmeh * The pblice made a rush to the stage , on w ^ h a iparij , dressed in character , was singing * What a ^ gettinjir up stair * and a playing on the nadlel ' ' ' The performer , however , had to cut it * r wi t * , z $ i to such ah extent had his alarm overcome brar ' ofi # eeiD&the unwelcome intruders with their
« Uyes in hand and preparsd for the worst , that he scampered to the back of the stage , and , throw io .-, np a window , jumped out , aheight of nearly srxb-en f « etfront the ' ground , and gotoff . It wa « substqueutly Ascertained that this perxon ' a name was Wood , tnat pi e play was for his benefit , and that , in jumping put , he had broken his leg . The police , ^ however , succeeded in securing the seven defendants , namely , four men and three jwomen , who were all . dressed in the theatrical ( Costume of the pieces ia which they had to appear . Mr . Jeremy— " Then the parties you have brqught here formed the dramatimpersonee , not the audieace ?" Inspector King replied in the affirmative , and
pointed out a red-haii « il youth , as the defendants stood in a row at the W , and said that lie was the chief musician , and was playing on the fiidle jn the orchestra . In reply , to the Magistrate , . this . defendant said that hi 3 .. nanie was Durham ,, that he was a gardener , and that being without work , . and having , a wife and two small children , he consaatud to join the company at thji solicitation of Mr .
