THE FATOrRED LAND . BBITasxia sat musing upon her loTed sliera , . The " wiECsVere asleep , and the wave 3 tissed her feet . The sun had gone down , and day ' s splendour ¦ was o ' er , And silence had hallo Wd her lonely retreat ; " So the snn of cur glory , " she sighed , " takes its Sight , . So the bright hopes of Britain seem shrouded in night" 0 land of the ocean and rock of the wire , The -worsMpp'd of earth , and the fa « rared of Heav"n , "Where the "beantiM dwell "with the free and the brave , Wfcere Providence smiles , and an Eden is given ; Thou hast shone " mid the nations like Enrope ' s bright star , A beacon when dark tempests threatened afar .
11 a nation of freemen seem clanking their / -Tining , A famed land of herots are crouching like slaTes , The peasant ' s bold song is now husa'd on thy plains , And the rough seaman ' s tear rarnp-ip . fi -with thy blue W 3 T 63 ; For Faction has crippled the lo « m and the plough , And thy white sails of commerce flap heavily now . " Tea ! Mammon now mocks the starv'd Englishman ' s sigh , The aii £ arcb laughs at canst poverty ' s tear , The songs of the pamper'd drown misery ' s cry , And -where plenty once ami ] "d , famish'd faces appear ; Prcud wealth seems to lord it o ' er HeaT'n ' s favour' d land , And the temple profane ' s rais'd byFreedom ' s own hand . " And "when frill the spirit awaken again ?
What breath shall rekindle the patriot flame ? What voice shall arouse the bold sans of the main , To wipe off the slain titat now darkens their fame ? 0 , when will prosperity gladdeii our isle ? "When commerce shall fltnrish , and Liberty smile . " Through the gathering gloom burst the Star of the night—«¦ That orb , " said Britannia , " a sign seems to be , That my country again shall shine iorth in her might , And her own moral energy Kinder her free ; Behold the bright symbol appears in the skies , Arid the pfc « nix again from its ashes BOall rise I " Jesse Hammond .

A DOPGY CasYASSER . —The hall steps were spotted with green moss—the windows had glass of a thousands hues , the white-painted fchutters closed on . many of them ; the place had altogether a cold , forbidding look .

After many a weary pull , the rickety door was opened by an asthmatic servant in faded green livery , and the earl and his protege
were received by Mr . Gripefast . The room into j which they were shown was cold and dingy : the ] . walla -were cracked , the roof almost black , the i ; earpet faded , and the small portion of fire nursed in 1 the corner t > f thB grate , struggling for life under au j economical covering of dusty ashes .

Shocking Resttlt of a Petty Prosecution . —A few weeks ago , a woman , with an infant m her arms , was committed to . prison for cutting a small quantity of bircn at Besbury , the damage which she did being valued at one halfpenny . We understand that the child died in prison on Sunday last , and that the another stated at the inquest that it was her belief the child died in consequence of a cold which it caught in the Ledbury lonk-up-house . The wondtr is that many inquests have aofc been tho consequence of confining prisoners in such a damp and filthy den . Tfee feelings of this woman ' s persecutor , who sent her and her child to prison for such a venial offence as cutting a bit of birch , are not to be envied . — Worcestershire Chronicle .
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway . —Sunday Trains . —The second day of the Sunday trains hag passed off as quietly as the fin-t . At the Edinburgh terminus the Rev . . W . Burns was again in attendance , roaring and shouting , to the great annoyance of peaceable persons ; but the railway Jrain proved as deaf to his remonstrances as before ' , and slid away with lhe greaiu-t sa ? igfroid imaginable . The people assembled were respectable and well-conducted . The total number of passengers carried along the line was 841 . Oj these there came along the whole line from Glasgow 34 , while 254 were taken up or set down at the intermediate stations . The number conveyed along the entire line from Edinburgh -was 58 , and to intermediate distances , 495 . Except on the pait of Mr . Burns , at the Edinburgh station , not tne slightest disposition was manifested , either in the morning or evening , to mar the tranquillity of th ' e ijabbatb . —Scotsman .
Fasting by Compulsion . —At the weekly meeting of the guardians oi the tk > utto Dublin union on Wednesday , Captain IS ' owJan complained , on the part of the protestant pauper * in the establishment ( nearly 500 in number , ) ihat they were compelled , contrary to the natural cravings of their stomachs , to swallow thin oatnv al porridge , tho same as that taken by the Roman Cathlic inmates , during the period of Lent . The gallant captain concluded by moring that the whole arrear of flesh and broth withheld from the
protestants during the last week be added to the allowance doled out on Easter Sunday . A guardian suggested that the usual week ' s notice should be given of so important a motion ; but it having occunedto some of the members of the board that Easter was bui three days off , it was finally agreed that the aggrieved parties should have double rations on Sunday next , as some slight compensation for the purgation they bad been forced to undergo , in common with their more devout companions of the workhouse .
Desperate and Extraordinary Scene in Mews Barracks . —The following are the authentic particulars relative to this extraordinary occurrence : — It appears that Thomas Hutching , who is the subject of this narrative , is a private in the third battalion of the 1 st Regiment of Grenadier Foot Guards , now stationed in the Mews Barracks , Trafalgar-square , and was considered the finest man in the regiment , measuring six feet two inches iu height , and stout in proportion , and when uuirrfiuenced by liquor was a quiet , inoffensive person , but a little drink would sometimes excite him to a most extraordinary degree , and cause him to quarrel with his comrades . Ou Wednesday night , about nine o'clock , after having indulged rather freely , he retired with three others to one of the barrack sleeping-rooms at the top of the building for the nigbt , where , however , he had not been many minutes before he commenced
quaireUing with a man named Greene , whom he at length threatened with his veneeance , and , fearing the consequences , Greene made his escape down stairs , and informed the Serjeant that Huteh ' ws was drunk . The Serjeant immediately repaired up stairs , and ordered him down to the orderly-room , for the purpose of . testing his sobriety . He , however , i-track'the Serjeant under the ear with his bayonet , and slightly wounded him . Another man was Bbghtly-wounded in the fac % in endeavouring to rescue the Serjeant , who , but for liia . interferen . , would no doubt have been murdered . All , however , ran out of the room with the exception of one man , who had got into bed , to whom Hutchins said , "You hive never injured or given me any offence ; I shall not , therefore , hurt a hair of your head . " Hutchins , however , now commenced firing at the door , imagining , no doubt , that some of them were on the other side of it . Six
bullets passed through the door , which is abouc two inches in thickness , one » f them lodging in another door at the end . of the passage , -which is about twelve feet in length . He also fired through the iront window at the sestries in the yard , who , however , fortunately escaped . Hearing several persons coming up the-&taire , he threw up the back window , and flung out his belt and pouch , and having exclaimed , " Kow , you -, follow me , " precipitated himself from the window into tke backyard , a height of about fifty feet , when a rush was instantly made , and he was found lying upon his back ia a state of insensibility . He wa 9 immediately placed upon a
stretcher , and conveyed to the Barracks Hospital , in Rochester Row , Westminster , where he was attended by Drs . Johnson and Bellam , of tho regiment , who discovered that his left arm wa * broken , bui the extent of injury sustained could nut xhtn be discovered . On inquiry on Thursday , at the Hospital , it was ascertained that : he had been spitting blood the whole of tho day , which proceeded from the internal injuries he had received , and which are of so seri » us a nature as to preclude all nope of his recovery . The flag-stone upon which he Jell wa 8 broken into several pieces , but not a spot of blood was to be seen . Hutchins is in the 28 ; h year of his age .
Executions . The period has now arrived , when the great experiment of replacing by more moderate penalties the exterminating enactments of former times—Has been tried by the test of full experience ; and the Committee of the Anticapital Pdnishment Society congratulate the public upon the eminent success which has marked the transition from a system of indiscriminate rigour to one of great comparative mercy In the year 1821 there was 114 executions in England and Wales . In 1828 , the number was reduced to 59 ; in 1836 , to 17 ; and in 1838 , it was only 6 ^ That this change has been effected without dimiu . i ? b . ing , even in tae slightest decree , the security of the persons and properties of men , is a matter of
the clearest evidence , the evidence of actual expe rience , which cannot he disputed or falsified . The Government Returns prove , that there havo been Jewer highway robberies in the last seven years , with 5 executions , than in the preceding seven years , with 58 executions ;—that there have been fewer actsof burglary and housebrtaking in the last seven years , with only 2 f-xecutions , than in the preceding Seven years , when 57 persons suffered death for thoso crimes j— that there has been less horse-stealing in the last .-even years , without any execution ^ than in the preceding s > . vea years , during which , for that offence alone , 22 convicts were sent to the scaffold . Whatever experience has been acquired-by- ' this unexampled reform in the administration oJ public
justice , has , at least , been safely and lHnocentiv gained . Some hundreds of offenders , had they committed their crime 3 a few years before , * rould havo died by the hands of the executioner . They had been allowed to live . Life , the only season of repeniance , with all it 3 opportunities of regainihg the lavour of an offended Deity , has t « 3 ii m rcifully continued to them ; and , from this lenity , society has derived no injury , no loss . Who , thcD , can fall to rejoice at a result so consoling to humanity 1 One question only remains . —Reflecting men will a ? k , after so many accumulated proofs of tho ineffi ,-cacy of capital punishment , why should it be retained at all ? K' asoniug mums will inquire , — Is the execution of six persons in a year so essential to
social t-ecurity , that we must still continue to uphold the rcvo'tiDg machinery of the scaffold ? For murder no less than other crimes , the penalty of death , as an example , is momentary , and of no beneficial effect : —it disgusts the good , and brutalizes the bad , who witness the spectacle of man cruelly dt-.-troyed by man;—as an ace of extreme violence , it teaches violence to the people : —; a ? an act of deliberate homicide , it diminishes the retard due to the sanctity of life , and renders ' murder less revolting to the uiiiiistructed mind . For j murder as u-ell as other crimes , it too often Iead 8 to i impunity through the suppression of evidence by tho [ asfeotiates or atqviarataivco of the criminal , who i recoils at the thought of becoming accessory to the
death of one , with whom they had formerly lived on terms of familiar intercourse . The Committee invitr the attention of ihe public to the important fact , that vh ; re have been fewer commitments for murder in the last five years , when the executions for that crime y ? ere 40 , for 8 annually , ] than in thefiveyears j preceding , when the executions were 66 , [ or 13 annually , j Similar resuits have followed the partial disuse of the punishment of death for murder in France and Prussia ; and in Belgium , the discontinuance of the capital penalty , during five SUCcessive years ending with 1834 , was accompanied by a diminution in the number of murders . Thus experience proves , that in order to render the lawi , against crime reformatory ^ they must cease to b e
: revengeful . It is true the punishment of deaiij is judicially said , like all other puni 8 hment » to b * , not for revenge but example : —but as it has BOtorio ' usly failed in the way of example , what purpose can its isflictioa serve unless the gratification of rvcenge ? Let it then be entirely repealed , and some punishment substituted which does not shock the natural feelings oT mankind , and is therefore saotecipable of uniform execution ! By the abolition of it we should teach * men forbearance by the high example of the laws , and inculcate the sacrednesa of life on that supreme authority ; while the retention of it formurder " answers none of the real enda of justioe , but se 7 res only , by exacting " blood for blood , " to encour-jge thesavage spirit of retaliation , in utter ^^ variance with the sentle temper of Christianity , and itself the fruitful parent of atrocious critnes .-
William Allex , Chairman of the Committee 40 , Trinity-square , Tower-hill , London , 1841 .

The sensation which is felt and complained of is caused by the velocity at which you travel—the transient view you obtain of the
objects you pass—and looking at them in . a direct liae , which is generally the case by looking through the side window nearest the seat . All these unpleasant sensations and consequences ( which are more serious than appear sifirst sight ) are obviated by 6 imply looking at the objects you pass in an ob-] f < jue or angular direction ; you thus command a longer view of every thing , which entirely relievo the eye—it destroys this magical and uncertain sight yoy obtain by looking , as before described , at objects in a straight line . —Glasgow Paper . " .
A curious Incident has occurred at Northampton Assizes . A " f ' racaa '' took place' between Sergeant Goulburn , and Mr . Becke , a solicitor ; in consequence , it seems , of an old feud between the two . In 1836 , or earlier , aud repeatedly since that time , Mr . Goulburn made some attacks on Mr . Becke ' 8 professional character ; and Mr . Becke complains , that as Mr . Goulburn screen ' s himself under his privilege as an advocate * he has no redress at law . His only resource therefore is to attempt to provoke Mr . Goulburn to take some proceedings against him , and he endeavoured to do so in the said 11 fracas , " but it , appears without success |; and so he has written to the papers a letter , in which he thus
throws down the gauntlet : — " If , as I fully expect , he should fail to proceed against me , the public wiU then judge between myself arid Mr . Goulburn : I have done all in tho power of m&n , short of personal violence , to force him to wipe off the foul stigma I have now several times cat-t upon him , I accused him of wilful falsehood and gross perversion of truth iu the imputations he cast on me laccusedhim of fabricating circumstances detrimental to my professional character , for the sole purpose of indulging bis malevolent feelings ; towarda me . I now repeat these accusations deliberately and advisedly . Mr . Goulburn has all along omitted to take any steps either to clear his character or attempt to justify his conduct towards mo . I leave it therefore to all men
of honour and courage to put their own construction on this line of conduct of a sergeant-at-law , an exofficer of the Blues , the author of a satire ; and one who has figured in his early career as a horse-jockey . With all these varied qualifications , ha appears destitute of those feelings which persons moving in . his present station are generally fouud to possess , when a man , equal in birth and education to himself , demands satisfaction fer his insulted honour . " ; Cuiuous Coincidence . —Some months ago , the premises of Mr . Wilson , a watchmaker at Spalding . were broken open , and all the watches and plate stolen from his shop . For some time nothing could be discovered , and malicious people were not wanting to make the vilest insinuations . By a remarkable coincidence the burglar went the other day to Lincoln , a distance of more than 50 miles , to dispose of part of his plunder , the affair having become almost forgotten , and it so chanced that the first the of
place he Wc-ht to w ^ s shop Mr . Wilson ' s father in High-street , Saint-Peter-atGowts , and it also singularly happened that the watch he presented for sale wa 3 one that Mr . Wilson personally knew had belonged to his son . The man was detained , and some other property was found in Lincoln . He was removed in custody to Spalding , where it was learned that he had been residing for six years past * under the name of Morley . On his house beiiig searched , no trace of the rest of Mr . Wilton ' s property was found , but on a subsequent search , a large stone bottle was found upon a shelf , and on being taken down , it proved that a hole bad been broken in the botcam aud the watches and jewellery put thereiu , carefully packed in hay to prevent it from rattling . Mr . Wilson has thus singularly recovered the whole of his property ( except twa watches ) , and a burglar in most extensive practice has been detected , and committed to the hoase of correction for the division of Holland ,
Match to Gallop One Hoksb Twenty Miles , within the Hour . —It will be recollected that Mr . Grey , a gentleman riding nearly fourteen stone , undertook to perform this feat , but failed in completing his task , having unfortunately broken his horse ' s legs in three places before he had made the first tyrn of five miles , immediately after the above named affair , Mr . Goodman , a member of the turf , matched himself in a similar undertaking for £ 100 , to take place on the same spot , viz . —a three mile piece of ground on Sunbary Common , and on Wednesday last the affair came off . Mr . Goodman had been up to the day in close tiaining , Weighing about ten stone : and having purchased a fine old
steeple chaser , named the " Knight / ' expressly for the occasion , was ready at all points for the start at four o'clock . The belting had risen considerably in favour of Mr . G—in many in&taiicestQ 6 to . 4 , and in some even 2 to 1- ^ -which must be in some measur * attributed to Mr . G . 's well-known energy , perseverance , and BtreBgth of nerve . Mr . G . went off at a steady pace , which he continued to the close , and completed his task apparently with great ease , hayingnearly four minutes to spare , neither horse nor rider snowing any symptoms of distress . Considerable sums of money changed hands upon the occasion , and the ground was well attended , ; there being a good sprinkle of fashionable equipages and great numbers of equestrians .
Palm Sunday . —The annual ceremony of cracking a gaa-whip three times in the church porch of Caistor , at the commencement of the reading of the lessons , with the folded whip , and the mummery of waiving it three times over the mmifrtet ' s head , tken holding it in a steady diagonal position till ha has concluded above seventy verses , &C , delighted the " gaddites" of the town and their country friends , on Sunday week , the cracks being very loudly and distinctly given , and the rest of the performances Btrictly seeundum artem . We understand . that ;
MrSpring , saddler , of Brigg , tbii year completed the 52 ad whip he has made toi the occasion . There are r « ligiouB persons in Caistor who assert ihat tne custom is impious—that it is a deBecration of the Sabbath belonging to ihe aafkest ages , &c . ; and of this opinion was an influential gentleman who \ a few years ago sought to put aside the whole ceremony , but did not succeed ! . The " gaddite 9 " rejoiced greatly at bis failure , for as much as , they contend , it iuduces a larger attendance on the " means of grace ! " O mores I There certainly was a good congregatioa on Sunday . —Stamford Mercitry .
Madness and Suicide pkoduced by Destitution . —On Thursday a long investigation was entered into before Mr . T . Wakley , M , P ., in the chapel of the Strand Union VVorkhouse , Cleveland-street ; Fitzroysq'aare , on the body of Charles Heathoote , aged 19 , tr , e son of a journeyman painter and glazier , living i \ a ; - Westminster . Charlea Heathoote , deceased 8 father , said his son had been in the employ of a < sywkeeper in Westminster , but about seven weeks Bince he was discharged , hig master having no longer opcasion for his services . He was unable to find employment , or witness in any way to assist him , being out of work himself . The deceased wandered about from day to day , suffering the deepest xUe ^ tess and 1 hunger , but would not apply to the parish . The effect of starvation caused him to : become insane and a uieht or two arter he was found by the police
ravirig mad in tae streets , and , conveyed by them to St . Margaret's wbrkhouse ^ wher « he had been but . a few days when he sought an opportunity to cut his throat , but was deteoted before he had done ; so to a great extent . A week after ; he again cut bis throat to a greater extent , at whicn time he was under an order of removal from St . Margaret ' s parish to the Strand union . He was removed to the Strand Union workhouse on the 5 th instant , at which time he was so weak as to be unable to walk- '¦;' ¦ By the Coroner' * I have no complaint as regards Ids ; treatment ^ but I think his removalfrpm St . Margaret's workhouse to this accelerated his death . " The Jury ultimately returned a verdict , " That the deceased died from the effects of a wound in his throat , inflicted by him ^ self whilst in a state of insanity , produced from hunger and destitution .

WiGNBrtf Bank . — 'Meeting of CREDiioas . —On Thnrsday evening , a , private iaieetibg of the principal ereditors took place at the house of Mr . Dash , CastlfJ-square , JBri ^ htbn . About sixty per ^ sons were present . ' From various statements madev accordiDg to ^^ present ^ ^ appearances , the largest dividend that can be ^ speciej is sixpence in the pound . From inquiries made by some of the creditors , it was deemed expedient that they should obtain the assistance of one of the leading couhssl from London in order that the whole affair may bo thoroughly investigated , as slight hopes are entertained of recovering certain property for the benefit of the large body of creditors .
Ax thb Leicester Assizes , an extraordinary case of slander was tiied . The actipa . was brought by Dempster Hemming and wife a&airist Mr . Power , a solicitor . Mr . Hemming is a gentleman of fortune , acquired in India , and sixty yens of aj ; e . llis . wife is a fascinating lady , of about , tvvfcnty-eighi . Their marriage was splentuized iu the year l 83 & ; vandMr . Power vvas charged with spreading a rumour that M ' ra . Hemming was the wife of one Henry AHeyne , whom she called her . brother . Mrs . Hewwiax was married as Rhoda Alleyne ; and she and her brother were strangers in the neighbourhood when Mr . Hemming became acquainted with her . The counsel for the plaintiff simply proved the uttering of the words by Mr . Power . In reply , the Solicitor-General indignantly commented upon the case being
presented in this naked manner > He would allow the descriptipn Mrs . Hemming had given of herself , as to her maiden name , to be correct ; bat with regard to her . pretended brother , it was clear that hi * name was Henry Chard ; that he Was a superannuated tide-waiter from Liverpool ; that ht had been'living at Finchley , or Hampstead , with Mis . Hemming , ostensibly as brother and sister , in 1838 . If he proved these circumstaneea , the jury would be satisfied Mrs . Hemming and her brother were mere adventurers ; that Mr . Hemming was their dupe , and that the verdict should pass for his client . Mr . Balguy , on the other side , iusisted that the jury had nothing to do with Alleyne , and the Judge inclined to that opinion . The jury , however , gave the plaintiff only one larthing damages .

TREMENDOUS HURRICANE . DESTBTJCTION OF PROPERTY AND LOSS OF LIFE AT GLASGOW AND GREENOCK . Greenock . —Throughout Friday it blew a violent wind , which increasetl to a gale that betokened something "worse . About eight o ' clock the gale increased io& perfect hurricane , nnd wo ar « sorry to say that the ship Scotland ( bound for St . John ' s , N . B . ) lying at the patant moorings in the stream off the East India Quay , broke loose ; carrying the patent raooring with her , ran foul of a schooner , and H . M , gun-bng Skylark , at anchor in the Btteam . The Scotland , a vessel of large tonnage , carried every thing befors her , and in a fihort time eight vessels , including the gun-brigi were dashed ashore at Gammels Point , east of Cartsdyke . Three of the ' -small crafo , one of them the Oban packet , another a sloop laden with potatoes from Girvan , arid . a coal gabbert , were rendered coniplete wrecka . The gun-brig is , still ashore , and the Scotland has a crew aboard pumping her Incessantly . .
On shore : the hurricane was no loss deBtructive . In all part * of the town , chimney stalks and stalks of various public works were blown down , and serious loss sustained . A cansiderable part of Messrs . Laitch and Co . ' ropework was huvled to the gr . eund ; and we are sorry to say that this hurricance did not end in the destruction of property only . About half-past eight O ' clock , the chimney top of a house situated at the highest elevation of Mtams-street , near the Mount , was blown upon the roof—the roof was carried away , and the dense mass of rubbish broke through the ceiling , and f « U into a bed room , ¦ wheie two : children were asleep . A number of heavy stones fell on the ^ children , and one of them , aged twelve years , was killed instantly . The other had her leg broken . We also learn that u large house in course of building at Gourock , has been partly blown down . The large new steamer Precursor , which was lying in Gairlock , fitting out . drifted front her moorings , and is ashere in Kodneath Point ,
Glasgow—On Friday night , this city was ' . yisited with one of the most severe storms of wind that has been experienced here for many years past . The gale during the afternoon was considerable , bnfc about six or seven o ' clock it increased to a perfect hurricane , so much so that the streets were nearly cleared , people finding ; it next to impossible to maintain their footing ; while the danger was greatly increased from the vast number of chimney tops and slates which , were -h ' nrfcd with violence from the tops : bf many houses , of which the streets this inornisg bear ample evidence . During the gale there were many vivid flashes of lightning . In the Gallowgate , during the height of the storm , a sign-board was wrenched from above a shoemaker ' s
shop , and by the force of the -wind bonie nearly sixty yards farther up the street . "We lament to learn that , about ten o'clock last night , an accident of a serious nature , occurred at Garnkirk Fire Brick and Lime Works . Two of the stalks were blown down by the hurricane , which swept over the city aud : suburbs , arid as this unfortunately happened to be the night on which the men at thesa works commenced a double shift , alJ those engaged in tha . t department were buried in the ruins . By the moat active exertions the sufferers , five in nnmber , were extricated from their dreadful situations , two of them dead , and the other three much injured—one of them so much that he is not expected to recover .
Paisley . —On Friday night this town was visited by the most severe inland hurricane we ever witnessed . The wind blew a furionsnoith-wester , sometimes dry and at ; others accompanied with heavy falls of sleet and rain . This morning the hills in all directions are white with snow , and the streets are abundantly strewed with the wreck of chimney cans , slates , large pipes of lead , &c . lii town we have not heard of any injury being sustained by these exposed descriptions of property , but at Blackland Mill , in the neighbourhood , we learn that some of the stalks have suffered from the storm . —Glasgow Post of Saturday .

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT ON A LADY . Monday , Mr . Robert Galdwell , solicitor , of 191 , Great Biunswick-street , for whose apprehension two warrants bad been outstanding for many days , was brought in custody of Police Serjeant Kennedy , S B , before the Magistrates of College-street Police Olficej Dublin , charged with having assaulted , with intent to commit violation , the wife of Mr . Corbefct , of Fitzwilliam-place , barrister ; . From the evidence of the prosecutrix , as given by The Freeman ' s Journal , It appeared the prisoner had been on frjendiy terms with Mr . Coirbett for the space of a year and a half , during -which they had various transactions in the way of business ^ Mr . Caldwell taking to Mr . Corbett all the briefs he could
muster . The prisoner had been frequently at &Ir . Gotbett ' s house , his presence there ; being , however , occasioned , for the most part , by professional affairs , though on two occasions he had dined there . Oa Monday se ' nnighfc he ; dined with Mr , Corbett and hiB lady , and on the Saturday following he proceeded to the house of the prosecutor in Fitzwilliam-place , under the pretence of paying the visit usually exacted by etiquette , aftet the acceptance of such a complimfent . Having knocked at the door , he inquired of the servant if Mr ; Coibett were at home ? The servant answered in the negative , saying that his master bad jnst goijft- out > -whieh > fcowever , was not the case ; but Mt . Cotbett , being in diaabille at the time , had
given directions that he .. shdald . he denied . The prisoner then inquired ' whether ' Mrs . Cprbett waaat home , for that if so her presenws would suit his purpose as well ? The- servant reptied that his . mistress was in the study , t- > which apartment the other wasi unhesitatingly admitted . The prisoner having found the lady seated in an , arin ; chair saluted her couxteously , and , drawing over his own chair in the vicinity of the lady ' s , they conversed -for a few . minutes npon . ordinary topics . Presently , however , his convtiaation assumed a different tone—he talked lapidly With great fervour , and began t » praise the eyes of his companion , which he averred were bright above those of all other mortals . He then spske more undisguisedly , and throwing himself on his knee he lamented the situation of his fair
companion , and assured her with great impassionment tbat be grieved that her heart was not at her own disposal , for that-if she were single she should not be without an . offer . Fired with , indignation at hearing herself addressed in sucha strain , the lady rose in high displeasure , and told the p : isoner that fuch words were unfit for the ears of a married woman , and informed him that if he did not immediately leave the room she- should ring for the servant to turn him out . She : was proceeding accordingly acrosa the ' room , -with the design of Euraraoning the servant with the bell , when the prisoner sprang from life seat with desperate violence , and spreading his hand over the lips of the lady , in : order to ¦ stifle her so effeotualiy as to lender utterance impossible , he told her that ail her resistance would be in vairi . The prisoner then prbceedeQ to take liberties of the most infamous nature with the lady , the details of which , are , qf course , utterly unfit for publication . A deadly struggle ensued , the foitune of which
was as yet doubtful , when the lady , descrying a large case-knife lying in a silver bread-basket npon the table , seized it in -desperation , and maile a fierce plunge at the breast of her assailant . The prisoner , in his effort to elude the blow , which must have been fatal had it taken effect -with Buch excessive violence , was it aimed , let go hid hold of the lady ' s mouth , and succeeded in -wringing the weapon out of her hand . The lady , uttering the most clamorous ehrieks , rushed to the door , closely pursued by her ; assailant , who brandished the tflifa In ihe air , and had almost felled her to ttie earth , when Mr . Corbett , who was in the lower part of the house , in the act of fastening his straps ; . when his wife ' s screamB first reached his ear , ran up stairs , having seized , in the exigency of the moment , a fork , the only weapon which lay at hand .: On the instant of Mr . Corbett ' fl ar . iving , Ms lady had effected her ¦ escape frora the room , and having exc aimed , in tones of agony , " The knife ,

Corbett stepped over her and i ashed in the direction of the study , -wBere the prisoner yot remained , but one of the servant maidSi apprebensivo lest ; blood niight be shed , in case her master and the . prisoner shcuid meet , raa past the former with the speed of lightaiug , and succeeded ia entering the room before him , shut the door in his face , and bolted it from within . Mr . Corbett conceivih ^ that ; his lady was dying , so utterly devoid of animation did she appear , / then turned to her a 8 snttnce , and having raised her dropping head firom the ground , was leaning over her on the lobbyi when the prisoner , suddenly darting from hi 3 ambuscade , sprang down stairs . Mr . Corbett seized a boot-jack and
hurle . d it at the head of the prisoner , whom he pursued down the stairs with terrific speed , an * might , perhaps hav 8 flucceeded in oreitaking him , -were it not that the same servant ; maid who had already interred , threw herself in . the « oarsa of : tho . pursuer , and terminated , the chase , and ' secTiretl the present escape of the prisoner . Mrs .: Coibett , a young jady cf vt-ry prepossessing mtfflnersan ( t great personal attraction , -s » as examined at . great length , and deposed in a very becoming manner to the facts detailed in the foregoing statement . The prisoner ; , a tall , athletic , well-proportioned man , aged thirty-six years , and who " was dressed- in very
fashionable attire , when ealled upon for his defence , stated that the lady , had made warm and r 9 peated professions of attachment to him , and he was only presuming on the encouragement be had thus received in . acting as be had . The prisoner then produced four or fivo letters , signed for the most part , " Your affectionate Caroline , " and ail of which contained profession ^ of the most passionate regarer . Mrs . Corbett being crossexamined by Mr . Filzgibbon , denied ia terms of the most unmitigated indignation , all knowJedga whataocrer of theae dooumetits , tha production of whiab appeared to excite in no one more surprise than in herself . It was" false as hell . " the assertion that she had
penned any « uch composition . She had nsver given the prisoner more countenahce than became an honourable woman . She nfcyes walked witb him in the street , nor never had had interviews with him in private . Mr . Corbett deposed thatlhe did not eerisider the letters to be written , any one of : themi in the hand writing of his lady- ; Mr . Gurran observed that there were no post marba whatsoever upon the lettera , and many of them were -written in different hands . The magistrates said that such a case had been made out as left but one course open for them , namely , to take the informations f the complainant , and hold the prisoner in surety to stand his trial at the next commission . The prisoner entered into his own recognizance for £ 100 , and two sureties of £ 50 each , ta stand bi » trial at the commis sion , and was thereupon liberated .
Another' " delicate "' ' affair" came before one of the Police-offices , on Saturday . Mr . F . y a gentleman of property , charged Miss M ., a lady , with a conspiracy to rob his house . The proseeutor , did not appear to support the charge . Mies M . then explained , that Mr . F . had been paying his addresses to her ; when she fonnd that he was already married , and broke off the intercourse . He then proposed to settle £ 1000 a year upon and to marry her after his wife ' s death , should that ecour within a certain period , upon conditions which she indignantly repelled ; and in revenge he instituted the present accusation . The Iaidy waa discharged from custody .
