" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness , incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated on principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of Public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practise , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics touched upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence ia certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . "The best of all friends is the Professional Fbiend , and ia no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in "Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of earl ) indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow-man , can regain tho vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitation of the heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " "Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the publio , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own . opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent Upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a beacon , a well-told appeal to reason , a permanet blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization , " —The Magnet . " The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitneas for tbe discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health . " Messrs . Lucas & Co . are to be daily consulted from ten till two , and from five till eight in the evening , at their residence , No . 60 , Newman-street , Oxford-street , London . Country Patients aTe requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their oases , as to the duration of the complaint , the symptoms , age , general habits of living , and occupation in life of the party .

C _ — — THE LATE GALE . ELAXCHOLT SHIPWB » KS , AND LOSS OP XXFE AT IEKBT . P Ob Friday night and part of Saturday a terrific gale , attended frith most disastrous consequences , blew from the eastward , veering round from that quarter to the south and sqnth-vresfc , and raging -with tremendous violence , accompanied with frequent torrents of tain . The aspect which the ocean , presented daring its confcurnanoe was truly sublime and awful , but terrible in its destructive effects . About day-break the Tec by pilots observed a large brig which had been windbound in an open part of the roadstead apparently in great peril , and endeavouring to gain the shelter of Caldy-roads , which were comparatively safe . She -was known to be the Richard , of Snnderlsnd , Coek , master , laden with cmI , and bound from Cardiff to London , as she bad been
srpoten with the day previous by one of the pilots , who adviaed the captain to anchor in a more secure position than that he had choten ; but apprehending no danger , the latter did jnot attend to the caution . Indeed , so Awfully sudden ' was the rising of the tempest , and so fine had been the preceding day , that Ihere might have seemed little cause for apprehension . The' vessel "Was now evidently in great distress , and c * ntinue 4 at intervals firing signal guns for assistance , ' which it -was impossible to afford her from the shore , the increasing fury of the storm rendering it impracticable for any boat to put to sea . About four o ' clock 8 &e lost hei judder , and s&n aground on the Wbiteb&ck , a bans : of sand sear Gilfar , and "where , had she gone to pieces , every son ! on board must
inevitably have periEh&d . As theticTo advanced , however , she was again kfloat , but having no helm , she was perfectly unmanageable , and at the mercy of the wind and sea . She had thrown out her anchors , but drifted from them , and at length , just after seven , she was firiyen ashore on the Tenby SxndB , npon a flood tide , opposite the South Ciiff , and within view of crowds of Spectators assembled on the cliffs , and at the windows of the houses on Use summit , all watching with inten&e and painful anxiety the result of tea catastrophe . At this time the breakers were rolling with indescribable fury over the sands , and in less trutn a quarter of an hoar the doomed vessel began to part , becoming a heap of disjointed wreck in a very short space of time . Doling this interval the ill-fated crew were seen
clinging to the zigging and other parts of the vessel , while the "waves , breaking frightfully over them ; threatened them every instant with destruction , lieutenant GniKbt , of the Coast Guard , and his crew , were on the cliffs above hex , with Captain Manby ' s apparatus for saving shipwrecked lives , and every exertion of skill and intrepidity was made to rescue the unfortunate m-n by the Coast Guard , aided by the pilots and fishermen and many of the townspeople , while the most ' eager and breathless interest pervaded the spectators . It was some time before the attempts made with the apparatus proved successful ; but at length a shot with a rope attached reached the wreck , and one man was able to avail himself of it , and was brought on shore in safety . Another , after some interval , was saved in the
same mannBT , and a third , by means of a scaling ladder thrown over the cliff , wfaich two men descended , and , Kt the imminent hszird of their lives , succeeded in dragging the drowning man through the sarf , and rescuing him from death . The other four unhappily perished . Two were washed from their hold utterly exhausted , and soon sank amidst the tumult of waters . Another had leaped into the boat as she was washed from the Teasel's deck , and with the help of an oar , contrived for * short time to scull towards the shore , till thrown down by a sea breaking over him . He soon regained Ms feet and resumed his labour , but another tremendous billow succeeded , and swept him and his frail craft from sight . Tfce circumstaucea attending the deilh of another poor fellow , supposed to be the
captain , were most affecting . He had secured Jfimself to a rope thrown from the cliff fey means of the spparstns , and was drawn soms tlistance towards land , when bis progress was suddenly impeded by the other end of the line having got entangled in the wreck , whence he Was nnable to disengage it He had , even in this ierrible extremity , presence of mind to search his pockets for a knife to sever the rope , bnt could not find one , and death was no * inevitable . The unfortunate man struggled fearfully for life , bnt waB drowned by the Incessant burst of billows sweeping over rp *» - The scene altogether was most heart-rending , and can never" be forgotten by its horror-struck spectators The three men raved -were promptly conveyed to the Brig public-house , and the usual means were resorted
to to restore them to animation . Thsy were provided by the Shipwrecked ilariners * Ralief Society with clothing and tie means of returning to their homes , and a subscription was set on foot in the town for the relief of the widows and orphans of the ill-fated men » ho perished , which ( to ihs amount of upwards ef £ 46 ; has bees forwarded to the Mayor of SundeiLand for that purpose . The pear fellows left on Wednesday by the Ptceaix steamer . The cargo of the brig has been partially saved ; but much cf it was unavoidably lost from being washed away and buried in the sand . Asotheb JLELAJiCHOLT accident occurred on the kvtop day , on board a -fishing vessel , of Brixham ,
belonging to Mrs . 1 iwis , whose son , a lad of seventeen , and an apprentice , Were washed overboard off Caddy , during the gale , and drowned . The masts and part of the ringing of a vessel have been picked up by one of the fishing boatB , and it is feared that several vessels have foundered in the Channel . A number of small craft have taken refuge in our harbour in distress , and Tarionsly damaged . Alnch damage was also done by the gale in various parts of the town ; the church and a vast number of houses being paitially unroofed . Such a hurricane ai ibis season of the year is anm-nal , and its mournful elects have created the most painful Bsnsaaons in those vtio witnessed them .
A BEATmru IiiTTLB Yacht , belonging , to Trevor Baper , Esq ., was driven from her anchorage in the lay during the storm on Saturday , and totally beaten to pieces on the shore . There were providentially no hands on board at the time-Along the whole of the Welsh csast the effects of the hurrieace were dreadful . Carmarthen Bay , Cardigan Bay , and all thB bays and inlets in the Bristol Channel , were strewed with the wrecks of coasting and Other vessels . In Carmarthen Bay , in addition to the total wreck of the Richard , we have to record the total loss of three -vessels near the Worms Head . They
were endeavouring to * nter Llanelly , but failed , and Were completely destroyed . On Saturday forenoon the body of a female was picked np on Eembry-Bands ; she was supposed to be the wife of the captain of one of the lost vessels . These three vessels are supposed to be a schooner called the Mary , of Bridge-water , laden with hay and reeds—crew saved , with the exceptien of one man ; the smack Julia , of Chepstow , laden "with bark—one man lost ; the Triton , of PJymontb , laden with copper ore lor Williams , Forster , and Co . —the yn « . a » -pT \ ma saved , but three of the crew "were "onf oztu-Haidyloat
The brig Friends , of Hfracombe , Fry , master , went down in Carmarthen Bay . All the crew perished , together with the master ' s infe and family , who were on board . The Wave , of Hayle , laden with copper ore for INeath , made for Porth Cawl ; but it being so very Tough , she could not enter the harbour witbont doing much damags to the vessels lying there , consequently she was deserted , and she ran ashore in the bay , where she sustained no damage except the splitting of sails . — JFtiihmcm . Fatal Shipwreck . —Ipswich , Aug . 12 . —The lite severe gales have caused very considerable loss of lit * and property on the southern and western coasts . Intelligence has just reached this place of tiie total wreck of a schooner called The Whim , Thonnes master ,
With all hands . The Hi-fated vessel belonged to this port The fact was communicated to the owners by means of a letter addressed to tbe post-master by Mr . lAmbert , keeper of the lizird-ligbt , who ssys— " On Friday night the wind blew a strong gale from the S . E ., and between twelve and one o ' clock on the following day it shifted to W-, blowing very severely . A vessel was wrecked outside a high breaker , called the Smaller Gull-rock , in KjnanVcove—a very dreadful place for any vessel to get into , being full of rocks . She was bo entangled by her chains , that the hull has not come ashora . She was laden with malt and beans . Some of the cargo h £ a come ashore ; also her stern and the stem of a small boat corresponding . One bsdy has been Washed ashore , a fine jouth , abont 17 . or 18 years of age , with light round features , no beard , and about
6 ft . Bin . high . Every respect has been paid to the jemaiEs . On Saturday I went to Kjem ' s-covb to ascertain the position of the wreck . 1 saw the sternboard of this vessel ; she is called The Whim , and gilt on her boafs Btern is the name John Thonnes . * Tke whole is a total wreck . " It has been ascertained that the crew consisted of the captain , the mate , Robert TJpsam , two seamen , named Jolly and Dean , and the lad whose body lias been cast ashore . Tke captain and mate have left wives and families to deplore their loss ; the sailors Were single men . I understand that the ship and cargo were insured . Kynan ' s-cove , the scene of this , as of many former disasters , lies within a short distance of lViB Lizird-lighi . It is considered by nautical men as the most dangerous point of the coast for vessels to approach w&en driven landward by stress of "weather .
HoLTHiAD . —During a strong gale from S-W ., on Tuesday last , the sloop Peggy , of Carnarvon , with Blares , put into the bay , disabled in her sails ; the anchors "were dropped , and a boat , with four men from the harbour , boarded her . Seeing her perilous situation , a distress signal was hoisted in the rigging . The life boat was being prepared to go out , when the cables parted . Ko alternative being left , the crew of the Teasel contrived to set what shattered sails remained , and , for the safety of their lives , succeeded in innn'ng her to a creek called Henborth , to the eastward of Car-Bel's Point . The vessel remains there much damaged , and hsr safety is doubtful .

The brig was painted black , and copper bottomed ; and , although the crew begged their assistance , Bbe proceeded on her voyage . The schooner was insured at the Port Madoc Mutual Insurance Company . The crew were relieved at Ramsgate by Lieutenant Grey , the agent of tbe Shipwrecked Fishermen ' s and Mariners' Society . —Carnarvon Herald .
Beatjhakis . —An accident , attended with loss of life , occurred under Trecastle , near this town , during the sudden gale of Tuesday morning . Four men from Llandegirn had gone out in two boats , for the purpose of dredging oysters , when a sudden gust of wind struck one of the boats , and instantly upset it One of the poor fellows sunk immediately , and tbe other clung to an oar until assistance was rendered from the other boat , which rescued him from his perilous situation . The body has not yet been louniL—Carnirvon Herald . Loss op Heb Majesty ' s Ship Gorgon . —In addition to the brief account of the loss of this vessel , already published , tbe following extract of a letter from an officer on board will be read with interest : — " Monte Video ( on shore ) , May 24 . —I write at once to inform
yon of tbe particulars of the loss of the Gorgon , lest you may be unduly alarmed of our safety . On tbe 14 th it blew rather card ; it soon began to blow harder , and we veered & little . The wind still growing higher we sent down our yards and topmasts . The next day we began to drive , so we let go our small bower , and veered . A little while after we parted it , and slipped tbe best bower , intending to go to sea , but we found it impossible to do so , as we could not get her head to the water . So we got well up to windward , and let go our sheet anchor , and veered on it . We parted that after a liUle time . We then let go the slream , and backed with the largest kedgs ; but we drove still , and went on shore , and now we are high and dry on the sand . But we are not alone : there are nine other vessels driven on shore , some of them on top of the others . Fortunately we got over a reef of rocks , which now lies between us and the water . If we
had struck on the reef , we certainly should have been dished to pieces . General Oribe has offered us every assistance in his power , and sent us large supplies of beef , with a profusion of vegetables . Indeed , we have only to mention our wants , and he spares no trouble to have them instantly supplied . Nor is his kindness confined ' to the officers ; he is equally generous in attending to the comforts of the ship's company . The Ardent was tossed atnmt like a tep , losing her hammocks , nettings , & . C . A large hole fau been knocked in her side , and part of her taffrail has been entirely destroyed . A brig , which was anchored close to a point off the town , parted both her cables just as we Itt go our bower , and , drifting on sbore , went to pieces immediately . It was Incky for as we did not follow her . With our four boilers , and full power on the engines , we could not put out to sea ; but if we once bad had our head to the water we Bhould have been ail right . '"

NORFOLK CIRCUIT . —Norwich , algbst 2 . Hoerible Tragedy . —James Frost , aged 35 , was charged with the wilful murder of Harries Frost , on the Sih of April last When called on to plead to the indictment , he said " Guilty enough in the eyes of the world , bnt not of God . " Mr . Evans and Mr . Saxdess were counsel for the prosecution ; and Mr . DaSEM appeared fur the prisoner . The unfortunate subject of the present inquiry was an interesting girl only five years of age , and the eldest child of the prisoner , who came by her death under the following appalling circumstances : —In early life the prisoner became attached to thb Primitive Methodiits , and before he had attained to manhood , and even
before be could read and write , was distinguished among thai sect by the zeal and energy of his religious tone and feelings . In tbe course of a short time be took a decided lead among the congregation , and was esteemed a powerful preacher . Nor was his conduct and behaviour opposed to his precepts , for sincere and ardent as he was in bis professions , his practice fell not a whit behind them . He was esteemed by all who knew him and thought with him ; but to others he was from that time to the moment when he committed the foul act , a stumbling-block . It may not therefore be matter of mnch surprise , though one to be deeply regretted , that some of his fellow-workmen devised a scheme to shame him . On one unlucky evening they seduced him into a debauch , and , drugging bis beer , succeeded in
making him completely drunk . The scandal which this sffiir entailed on bis religious pursuits resulted in his riinroiranl from the pulpit , and he was no longer allowed to preach . These circumstances weighed on his mind and spirits much , and deeply oppressed him . He became moody , sullen , and reserved , and began to doubt the efficacy of his Saviour ' s atosement at times , whilot at others he again wrought himself up into a belief that he was " still in the way to grace . " Soon after this he married , but falling sick of typhus fever , he txMbited an awful instance ef the intensity of that diseaie . For seven weeks he was completely out of his mind . His love for his young wife was changed to loathing , and he fancied he saw " things" frem which he begged bis neighbours to protect him by barring np
the doors and windows . At the lapse of that time , however , he threw off the weight of this attack , and ! seenied to have become more himself again . At the ' , sume time be used to dispute with more obstinacy than ; before on religious tb&mes , and was subject to " thick ¦ coming fiincits , " mingled witb , Uarr&seing doubts , fears , j and hopes teaching his chances of salvation , wbich t struck his employer so deeplv as to cause him to re- j monatrata with him frequently npon what he termed j to-day his " religion * delusions and fanaticism . * ' In j this Btate of things the p-. isontr ' s youthful family ,, consisting of three little girls , grew up around him , j and about ten weeks before tho 8 th of April bis wife J bore kim a fourth girl Notwithstanding his " delu-: bions , " he was a fond End affectionate husband and ; paient , delighting in the society « f his prattling babes , ] whom he nsed to drag in a little go-cart to and fr » m i the chapel , and fondle with the utmost affectiun . About I
a fortnight before the dreadful day , the 8 th of April , ' he was somewhat ill , labouring under tbe apprehen- i sion tf a rupture , which greatly disturbed his mind , j H 6 had , however , resumed his work on the Friday and i Saturday , and though he diii not go to chapel on tbe Sunday , and had ceased of late bis usual practice of ; morning and evening prayer , none of his neighbours j observed anything remarkable in his conduct and de- j meanour , whatever the secret impressions and anxieties of his wife might have led her to observe . On the \ morning of the 8 th the ? got np as nsual , dressed the " children jointly , and sat down to their frugal fcreakfaat , the three elder ones seated around their parent ' s j table . Towards the conclusion of their meal , the j wife went out to obtain payment of a small debt , ; te enable her husband to go into Norwich , leaving , the boy asleep in Ihe cradle . In the course of j tea minutes she returnedand fonnd the prisoner sitting I
, alone , gloemy and silent , by the fire . Not being able ; to ascertain from him what had become of the children , j the thought suddenly struck her that some mischief had ; happened to one of them . She accordingly rushed up > stairs , where a mosi dreadful spectacle assailed her . On the fldor were the lifeless bodies of her two eldest girls , ; smeared with blood , which thickly sprinkled the ! boards . A wild shriek called to her assistance her neighbours , and the house was speedily filled with i anxious friends . To none of these would the prisoner i give a word by way of answer or explanation , but dog-1 gedly preserved a gloomy silence . The truth , however , ¦ was s » on ascertained in all its horrid reality , for in the I pantry was found the mangled corpse ef the third child , t
while in a jug of water , into which it bad been forcibly ; crammed bead-foremost , was the poor little infant , all i four of tbe children having been thus cruelly murdered , > in the conrse of tea short minutes , by their father , A policeman coming in Boon after , discovered the bloody : hammer in the pantry , with which the desperate man had literally smashed the skulls of his three eldest children . When his master came in he said to him , when asked whether he had thus butchered his innocent children under an idea that he would get them to heaven , that " he hoped so , '' ¦ : and admitted that he had accomplished their death with the banin er . On this he was taken to a neighbouring i public-hsuse , whence , after the inquest , which termi- j
nated in verdicts of wilful murder , he was removed to Norwich Castle . When parting with his friends , who were all in tears , he assumed a look and attitude of jay , and sung , " Glory be to God ; my sins are forgiven me , and 1 shall go to heaven . " On his way to the Castle he sung snatches of hymns and pialms , one of which the policeman described as being " most appropriate to bis situation . " He also seemed rather to glory in the deed than to feel regret or repngnasce for his conduct , chidiDg Ms wife for " going on so , " and endeavouring to reconcile htr to the less of her children by the rt flection that " tkey were now nappy , and in glory , "where they would be also . " These melancholy circumstances having been proved on the part of thB prosecution , or elicited in cross-examination ,
Mr . Dasxkt addressed the jury for the prisoner , and , entering into a review of his life and career , proceeded to contend that no jury conld possibly come to any i other conclusion in this unhappy case fo ^ n that the ¦ wre tched man had committed these murders at a mo- ] ment when he was not responsible to human laws for the consequences of his acts . Mr . Justice Williams snmmed up the whole case to the Jmy , whose duty it was to say , by theii verdict , whether they were satisfied that the prisoner at the bar was in a state of mind which rendered him incapable of knowing when be killed his children that he waa doing an illegal or wicked act , lor which ho was
subjecting himself to punishment . Undoubtedly , in such an enquiry it was not necessary to come to the conclusion that , generally speaking , the prisoner waa ignorant of right and wrong . That was far too broad a bias , and would operate nnjostly in many Instances . But the real question was , what was the state of bis mind and faculties at the time with reference to tbe particular act laid to bis charge ; and if tbe Jury Bhould think , looking at the dreadful nature of this act , tbe character of the roan , the absence of all motive , and his extraordinary spirit of thanksgiving , as developed immediately after he had effected the violent death of all bis children , that he was incapable of judging right

from wrong npon that particular act , it would be their duty to acquit him on the ground of insanity . The Jury having deliberated together for about five minateB returned a verdict of " Not Guilty" on that ground . WELLS—Monday , avqvst 12 . Mukder . —Joel Fisher was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Hall , alias Fisher . The principal facts will be found in the evidence of the following witness , who was present when the murder was committed .
Ann Evans—I was servant to the prisoner previously to the 3 rd of June . I believe the deceased was bis wife ; he kept tbe Devonshire-house at Weston-snper-Mare , Peter Baker and William Upsall lodged there . The prisoner went out on the 3 rd of June ; he returned about five o ' clock in the evening . The deceased told him Baker bad left , as she was not going to give in to his temper . He said if one went , another would . She said she wished they would all eo . A tout nine o ' clock in the evening I took a candle into the bar . She blew it out I took in another . She blew that out-He said there should be a candle . She said if there was a candle the accounts should come out , and she took the slate , and rubbed out the accounts . He told her he " wonld give it to her by and by : she
was asking for it" About ten o ' clock , I lighted a candle ; my mistress took another , and we went up stairs . I had not been in my room many minutes , when she brought me a glass of wine , and said she should sleep with me , and I locked the door . Fir her was coming upstairs , and she said , "Ot that rascal , I'll never . sleep with him again . " They kept quarreling for some time . He thumped the door , and said be might as well kill her that night as tbe next morning , as he was beat on doing iu She tried to jump throngh the window , bat I prevented her . He came to tbe door , and tried to open it ; he did not come in , but they continued quarrelling . She got into my bed . The two little boys were in bad in the » oom . Tbe quarrelling continued till one o ' clock in the morning After that time I don't think she answered him . Nothing more took place till five in the morning . At that time I heard a noise , and I saw him standing at
the foot of the bed with a large iron bar . He said , *• D—n your eyes , I'll do for you now . " He struck her with the bar on tbe head several times . She did not speak . He then went out ef the room . He came back in abeut three minutes and took her by the hand . He threw her head on the pillow , and stood on her > chest with a carving knife in his band , and cut her throat with the knife . He told me he was not going to hurt me . I stayed in the room , but I had got out of bed during tbe time he was out of the room . I screamed throngh the window before he came in the second time . She appeared to mutter something before she waa struck at alL As Boon as he bad cut her throat he went and called William UpBall . The prisoner then came into j the room again . The blood gushed out of her threat j very much . The lodgers took me out of the room ; the ] prisoner then bolted tbe front door . The deceased and \ tho prisoner did not live happily together .
The prisoner was found guiity , and left for execution . Murder—At the Bodmin Assizes , Matthew Weeks , was tried for the wilful murder of Charlotte Dymond , in tbe parish of Ddvidstowe , Cornwall . The prisoner who is only twenty-two years of age , looked very sullen and dogged , and on being called on to plead , answered , i in an almost inaudible voice , "Not guilty . " The prisoner and tbe deceased were fellow servants at a ' , Mrs . Peter's , at Penhall-farm . in tke Parish of D .
ividstowe . The deceased wae about eighteen years of age , and waB possessed of considerable personal attractions . : She and the prisoner had kept company for some time , ' and there was reason to believe that he was jealoua of her , particularly with regard t » a young man named \ Thomas Prout , who had called at Mrs . Peters ' s on ' , the morning deceased was killed , and had made an &p- j peintment to meet her that night at chapel . It did ' not appear conclusively by the evidence whether the ' prisoner had overheard this conversation or not , but there was reason to believe that he had . In the
afternoon , tbe prisoner and the deceased came down stairs together , when the deceased , addressing Mrs . Peters , said , that she Bhould not be at home at milking time , but Matthew ( the prisoner ) would . They then went away together with every appearance of the most friendly feeling . Mrs . Peters saw nothing more of either of them until half-past nine ; when the prisoner returned alone , without the deceased . About a mile from Penhall Farm are the Davidstowe Moors , a wild and desolate track , seldom crossed by persons on a Sunday . A farmer named Cory , who knew tho deceased and the prisoner perfectly well , and who bad some fields out by this moor , happened to be there on the Sunday afternoon in
question , for the purpose of lookiog after some wheat . He b&w the' prisoner and deceased proceed along the road to a place called the Higher Down Gate , which led to the moor , and they were subsequently seen together by another farmer . When the poor girl was missed the prisoner denied all knowledge of her , but on the following Wednesday her murdered body was found on the moor ; and when tbe prisoner ' s clothes were examined , marks of blood were found on them in several places . The Jury , after a very short deliberation , returned a verdict of Guilty . The Learned Judge , much affected , then proceeded to pass on the prisoner tbe awful sentence of the law—that he must die . The prisoner , on bearing his sentence , fainted away , and waa bo removed from the dock .
Murder . —At tbe Stafford Assizas , wm BaanJs was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Griffiths , on the 16 th of March . The evidence in tho case was very lengthy . The deceased was housekeeper to Mr . J . Crowther , of Wednesbary , and had been left alone on the premises in the absence of her muter , who was a single man . The object of tbe prisoner was plunder , and having formerly been in the service of Mr . Crowther , he was well acquainted with the premises and the habits of their occupants . Tbe evidence left no
reasonable doubt of the prisoners guilt , and tbe jury having returned a verdict to that effect , the Learned Judge passed upon him the awful sentence of death . At the close of the sentence , the prisoner , who bad remained apparently quite unmoved duriug its delivery , exclaimed , in a very determined tone— " My Lord , I have been found guilty ; but I am as innocent as a child ! " On leaving the bar , be struck his hand forcibly on the railing , and added— " I am as innocent as a child , if I was to die this moment . " The prisoner was then removed by the officers of the gaoL

The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Hardy , Mitchell ( one of tbe London deputation ) , Fawcett , Bell , Bird , Richardson , and Haswell . The following resolutions were passed : —" That in the opinfon of this meeting tbe Miners ot this district ought to be very careful and guarded against reports and statements emanating from parties professing to be
ministers of the Gospel , as some are persuading the Miners to go to work , by painting our position in false colours ; this meeting therefore pledges itself not to believe any report unless it bears the stamp of authority from our association / ' " That after standing out near nineteen weeks and seeing the base and unmanly conduct of out maaterB , who have by promises , threats , and intimidation succeeded in getting a few men to work that thereby they may entail misery on the present and future generations ; in order to prevent such a direful calamity this meeting earnestly calls upon all who- , have been deluded by the false promisoa of the viewers , to join tbo ranks of tbe Miners' Association . " " That we pledge ourselves to stand fast to each other and to our noble Association , and to fight tbe battle to tho last" This was a moBt enthusiastic meeting , and separated in high spirits .
Redruth , Cornwall , Tuesday , August 6 . — Passing through this town we met four of those slave hunters now employed prowling about this county . Two of them were from the North , one gave bis name Cruddas , and stated that he came not far from the city of Durham . It will do us a great service if our friends from that quarter would send us his character . He seta himself eff in grand style , but we believe him to be nothing but a blackleg deputy as we call them in the North . They failed in persuading the poor fellows here to go to the North ; so now they are trying another dodge , telling them that , on account of tbe late strike , there ia such a demand for coals that there will be good work and good wages for many years , < ko . By those means they had got nineteen poor creatures made drunk , and stealing them away , when we stopped them , and told them ibat they bad been deceived . Such a scene then took place , as has been Beldom witnesned . Eight of them refused to go any
further , and we believe that when the other eleven become sober they will refuse to go also ; but it is to be feared they would get them off , as they had made them drunk , and taken them to the steam packet , which waa ready to sail that day to Bristol . We have since been informed by ft gentleman that they intend to arrest the eight , who refused to go , for breach of contract . We shall see ; we have heard nothing more as yet . This trading and trafficking in human flesh is a fine harvest for Mr . J . Hoskun , publican , at Consoles , iu the parish ot Gewrup ; he having , as we are informed , twenty shillings a-head for every one got . This Hosken has been beard say— " drink away lads , for we shall be wel } paid for whatever you drink . " The cunning old fox may well threaten to kick us out of tbe county , we having deprived him ef some hundreds of innocent men , who would have otherwise been led astray . There ia a spirit rising in this county that will soon teach such villains a lesson every such villain Bhould be taught .
Meeting of Colliers at Hazle Grove . —Monday last being tha wakes at Hazle Grove , a public meeting of colliers , convened , according to the placard , for the purpose of discussing their grievances , was held on a vacant plot of land lying a short distance off tbe road , and near Mr . Thomas Holt ' s , the Hope and Anchor public-house . It was announced that W . P . Roberts , Esq ., would be present , with several ether gentlemen , to address the meeting . Tbe meeting was called for three o ' clock , but it was past five o'clock before the proceedings commenced . Henry Burrell was called to the chair . James Price moved the following resolution : — " We , the Miners of the Bredbury and Poynton district , do hereby pledge ourselves to do all that lays in our power to support the Durham and
Northumberland Miners , who are now on strike . " He alluded to the different descriptions of agitation rife in th « present day , but he proclaimed the agitation for the right ef lubour as tke most momentous and important of them all . It was never tho intention of the Almighty that his people should be permanently miserable , else be would not have eaused the earth to yield her abundance as at present ; But the crimes so justly deplored in this country were mainly attributable to the poverty of a majority of tbe inhabitants , and this again was caused by the oppression and tyranny of many of the upper classes Ctod made the man , and maa made the slave . Bat the rich were not always to blame for tbe poverty and oppression of the poor ; because the poor could often avert the evil by being
united . They had too long been divided ; each of tbe working men had been too much against bis fellow . The Miners must use tbo axe and saw of moral force to bring down the tree of oppression . The Miners of the north bad now been on strike for nineteen weeks ; and he claimed the assistance of the meeting on their behalf . It had been said that they employed secrets and pass words in their deliberations ; he admitted the fact , and would divulge the only pass word he employed—it was , five shillings a day for eight hours—( cheers ) . Mr . Roberts then came forward , and was received with loud applause . He excused himself from addressing them at any length , as he was labouring under a pevere cold . The language of tbe previous speaker had impressed his mind with tbe great
importance of the cause , and the necessity of constant vigilance and attention to attain tbe end proposed . It they wished to emancipate themselves from their present thraldom and misery , they must be united , and look 10 themselves . He mentioned , that he had been to Hyde tbiit morning , to defend some men who had been charged before the magistrates ; but there , as at Preston , some time previously , where seven men were charged , his clients had been discharged from custody before he arrived—( cheers ) . He attributed tbe result , in hotli cases , to tha people being united . Mr . R . concluded , amidst loud cheers , by urging upon all the importance of doing what they could in support of the cause . ' William Harris seconded the resolution , which was supported by John Lomas and others , and afterwards carried . The meeting then dispersed .
