THE FAYOrRED . LAND . BslT ^ MA S&tinusij ^ upon her lOTed shere , " The -winds were asleep , and the -waves kused her feet , The son had gone down , and day ' s splendour was o ' er , And silence had haJlow'd her lonely retreat ; " So the sun of our glory , " she sighed , " takes itB flight , So the bright hopes of Britain seem shrouded in night" 0 land of the ocean and reck of the wave , The worshipp'd of earth , and the fa / oured of Heav * n , "SViere tbs beautiful dwell with the free and the "brave , Where Providence smiles , and an Eden is given ; lion hast shone ' mid the nations like Europe ' s bright star , A beacon ^ hen dark tempests threatened afar .
" Yet a nation of freemen seem clanking their chains , A famed land of heroeB are crouching like dares , . Ibe peasant ' s bold song is now hnsh'd on thy plains , And the Tonga seasian * 8 tear mingles witti thy blue waves ; Joi Faction has crippled the lo » m and tie plough , And thy white Bails of commerce flap heavily now , " Yes . ' Mammon now mocka the siarVd Englishman's sith , The oligarch laughs at gaunt poverty ' s tear , The songs of the pampered , drown misery ^ cry , And where plenty once smil'd , famish'd faces appear ; Proud wealth seems to lord it o ' er Heave ' s favour' d land , And the temple profane ' s raiB'd byFreedom'B own hand . " And -when -will the spirit awaken again ?
What breath shall rekindle the patriot flame ? What Toice shall arouse the bold sens of the main . To wipe off the stain that now darkens their fame ? O , whan will prosperit 7 gladden our isle ? " When commerce < = > " > Tt flourish , and liberty smile . " Through the gath ' ring gloom burst the Star of the night" That orV £ ^ Britannia , " a siipi seems to be , That my country again shall sMne forth in her might , And her own moral energy render her free ; Behold the brigh * symbol appears in the skies , And the phosnix again from its ashes shall rise !"

She had , however , only been at sea a few hours , and got some distance beyond Sambro' Head , when she was descried , by the
Acadia , -which bore dewn to meet her ; it was a joyful meeting , and the news of the safety of the Caledonia excited the liveliest feelings of satisfaction and joy . The two sieamers returned to Halifax together , and , though it w& 3 midnight , the cannon they fired brought crowds of anxiou 3 inhabitants down to the wharfs , and as they were hailed and answered as they passed " Acacia , " ** Unicorn , " with the welcome addition of " Caledonia safe in England / ' the shout 3 and cheers of the multitude were most exciting . _ A passenger describes it a > a scene of the most exhilarating nature .

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

Shocking Result of a Petty Pbosecution . —A few weeks ago , a woman , with an infant ir her arms , was commit : ed to prison for cutting a small quantity of birch at Be ^ bury , the damage which she did being valued at one halfpenny . We understand that the child died in prison on Sunday last , and that the moiher stated at the inqursfc that it was her belief the child died in consequence of a cold which it caught in the Ledbury lock-up-house . The wonder is that many inquests have hot been the consequence of confining prisoners in snoh a damp and filthy den . The feelings of this woman ' s persecutor , who sent her and her child to prison for such a venial offence as cutting a bit of birch , are not to be envied . —Worcestershire Chronicle .
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway . —Sunday Trains . —The second day of the Sanday trains has passed off as quietly as the fiict . 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 train proved a § deaf to his remonstrances aa before , and slid away with the greatest sangfroid imaginable . The people assembled were respectable and well-conducted . The total number of passengers carried along ihe line was 841 . Of 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 part of Mr . Burns , _ at the Edinburgh station , not the slightest disposition was manifested , either in the morning or evening , to mar the tranquillity of the Sabbath . —Scotsman .
Fasting by Compulsion . —At the weekly meeting of the guardians of the South Dublin union on Wednesday , Captain Nowlan complained , on tho part of the protestaut paupers in the establishment ( nearly 500 in number , ) ihat they were compelled , contrary to the natural crayhigs of their stomachs , to swallow thin oatnual porridge , the same as that taken by the Roman Cathlic inmates , during the period of Lont . The gallant captain concluded by moviDg that the whole arrear of flesh and broth withheld from tho
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 occurred to some of tho members of the board that Easter was but three days off , it was finally agreed that the aggrieved parties should have double rations on Sunday next , as some slight compensation for the purgation they had been . forced to undergo , in common with their more devout companions of the workhouse .
Desperate and Extraordinary Scene in Mews Barracks . —The followiug are the authentic particulars relative to this extraordinary occurrence : — - It appears that Thomas Hutchins , who is tho subject of this narrative , id a private in the third battalion of tho 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 in height , and stout in proportion , and when uninfluenced by liquor was a quiet , inoffensive person , but a little drink would sometimes excite him to a most extraordinary degree , and cause him to quarrel with his comrades . Ou Wednesday night , about nine o ' clock , after having indulged rather freely , he retired with three
others to one of the barrack sleeping-roomB at the top of the building for the night , where , however , he had not been many minutes before he commenced quarrelling with a man named Greene , whom he at ieDgth threatened with his venceancc , and , fearing the consequences , Greene made his escape down stalls , ana informed the Serjeant that Hutchins was drunk . The Serjeant immediately repaired up stairs , and ordered him down to the orderly-room , for the purpose of testing his sobriety . He , however , F-truck the serjeant under tho ear -with his bayonet , and slightly wounded him . Another man was slightly wounded in the face in endeavouring to rescue the serjeant , who , but for his interference , 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 tho door , imagining , no doubt , that some of them were on the other side of it . Six bullets passed through the door , which is about two inches in thickness , one of them lodging in another door ' at the end of the passage , which is about twelve feet iu length . He also fired through the front window as the sentries in the yard , who , however , fortunately escaped . Hearing several persons coming up the staira , he tturew up the back window , and flung out his belt and pouch , and haying exclaimed , " Now , you , follow me , " precipitated himself
from the window into the back-yard , a height of about fifty feet , when a rush was instantly made , and he was found lying upon his back in a state of insensibility . He was immediately placed upon a stretcher , and conveyed to the Barracks Hospital , in Rochester Row , Westminster , where he was attended by Drs . Johnson and Bellam , of the regiment , who discovered that his left arm wa 3 broken , but the extent of injury sustained could -not thea be discovered . On inquiry on Thursday , at the Hospital , it was ascertained that he had beeu spitting blood the whole of the day , which proceeded from the internal injuries he had received , and which are of so serious a nature as to preclude all hopa of his recovery . The flag-s : one upon which he lell was broken into several pieces , but not a spot of bloi-d-was to be seen . Ilmchins is in the 2 o ; h year of his age .
Executions .- The period has now arrived , when the great experiment of replacing by more moderate penalties the exterminating enactments ol former times—nas been tried by the test of full experience ; and the Committee of the Anticapital Punishment Society congratulate the public upon the eminent success which has marked the transition from a system of indiscriminate rigour to one of great comparative mercy . In the year 1821 there was 114 executions in England and Wales . In 1828 , the nHmber was reduced to 59 ; in 1836 , to 17 \ and in 1838 . it was . only 6 . Tnat this change has been effected Without diminishing , even in the slightest degree , the security of the persons and properties of men , is a matter of
the clearest evidence , the evidence of actual expe rience , which cannot be disputed or falsified . Tho Government Returns prove , that there have been fewer highway robberies in the last eeven years , with 5 executions , than in the preceding seven years , with 58 executions ;—that there have btcn fewer acts of burglary and bousebreaking in the last seven years , with only 2 executions , than in the preceding seven years , when 57 persons suffered death for thosa crirae 3;— that there has been less horse-stealing in th « last seven ytars , 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 oi public
justice , has , at least , been safely and innocentiv gained . Some hundreds of offenders , had they committed their crimes a few years before , would have died by the handd of the executioner . They had been allowed to live . Life , the only 6 eason of repentance , with all its opportunities of regaining the favour of aa offended l ) 6 iiy , has t » en mercifully continued to them ; aud , from this lenity , society has derived no injury , no loss . Who , then , can fail to rejoice at a result so consoling to humanity ? One question only remains . — Reflecting men will ask , after so many accumulated proofs of the inefficacy of capital punishment , why should it be retained at all ? Krasoning minds will inquire , —Is the execution of six persous in a year so essential to social security , that we must still continue to uphold
the revolting machiuery of tho scaffold I For murder no less than other crimes , the penalty of dv-ath , as an example , is momentary , and of no beneficial effect : —it disgusts tho good , and brutalizes the Lad , -who witness the spectacle of man cruelly dertrojed by man;—as an act of extreme vio . encj , it teaches violence to the people : 'as un . act of deliberate homicide , it diminishes the regard due to the sanctity of life , and _ renders murder less revolting to the uninatructed mind . For murder as well as other crimes , it too often leads to impunity through the suppression of evidence by the associates or acquaintance of -the criminal , who recoils at the thought of becoming accessory io the death of one , with whom they had formerly lived on term :- of familiar intercourse . The Committee
invit ? the attention of ( he public to the important { act , That there have been fetrer commitments for murder in the last five years , when the executions for that criins were 40 , for 8 annuallyj than in the five years precedii : ^ . whin the executions were 66 , for 13 annuallv-i Similar results have followed the partial disn = e oi the punishment of death for murder . in France and Prussia ; and in Belgium , the discontinuance ; of the capital penalty , during five snecetsl ^ c years ending with 1834 , was accompanied by a diminution in the number of murders- Thus experience proves , that in order to render the laws agaiiist crime reformatory , they must cease to be revengeful ; It is true the punishment of death is judiciary said , like all other punishment , to be , not
for revenge but example : —but as it has notoriously failed in the way of example , what purpose can its infliction serve unless the gratification of revenge 1 Let it then be entirely repealed , and some punishment substituted which does not shock the natural feelings of mankind , a . ad is therefore moTe capable of uniform execution ! By the abolition of it we should teach men forbearance by the high example of the laws , and inculcate the sacredness of life on that supreme authority ; while the retention of it for mnider answers none of the real ends of justice , but serves only , by exactiDg ** blood for blood , " to encourage the savage epiritof retaliation , ia utter variance with the gentle temper of Christianity , and itself the fruitful parent of atrocious crimes .

Effects of Railway THAVfttiNG on Sight . —It has often been , remarked'by railway travellers , how fatiguing it is to the eyes , and consequently injurious to tho 8 » ght ,: to look for any length of time at objeots through the railway carriage windows . This is quite true , and easy of solution ; Every one acquainted with physiology , knows the''intimate connexion and sympathy ot action between the five senses arid the brain . The sensation ¦ which is felt and complained of is caused by the velocity at which you trayel—the transient view you obtain " of the objects you pass—and looking at them in a direct line , which is genorally the case by looking through the side window nearest the seat . All these
unpleasant sensations and consequences ( which ava more serious than appear at first eight ) are obviated by simply looking at tueobjectsyou pasBin an obr lique or angular direction ; you thus command & longer view of everything , which entirely relieve the eye—it destroys this magical aad uncertain . sight yoH obtain by looking , asbefore described , at objects in a straight lino , —Glasgow Paper . A curious Incident has occurred at ' Northampton Assess . A "i ' racas" took place betweon Sergeant Goulburn , and Mr . Becke , a solicitor ; in consequence , it seems , of an old feud between the two . In 1836 , or earlier , arid repeatedly since that time , Mr . Goulburn made some attacks on Mr . Becke's professional character ; and Mr . Beoke
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 " fracas , " but it appears without success , *• and so he has written to tha papers a letter j in which he thus throws dovm the gauntlet : — " If , as I fully expect , he should fail to proceed againet me , the public will then juii ^ o between myself and Mr . Goulburn : I have done all in tho power of man , 8 hort of personal violence , to ( force him to wipe off the foul stigma I have now several timos ca&t upon him . I accused him of wilful falsehood and gross perversion of truth in the imputations he cast on me I accused him of
fabricating circumstances detrimental to my professional character , for the sole purpose of indulging bis malevolent feelings towards me . I now repeat these accusations deliberately and advisedly . Air Gonlbuni has all along omitted to take any steps either to clear hi 3 character or attempt to justify his conduct , towards me . 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 exoffieer of tho Blues , ithe author of a , satire ; and one who has figured in his early career as a horse-jockey . \ Vitn all tnese varied qualifications , ho appears destitute . of lho > e feelings which persons moving in his present station arc generally found to possess , when a man , equa' in birth and education to himself , demands satisfaction -for his insulted honour . "
Curious Coincidence . —Some months ago , the premises of Mr . Wilson , a watchmaker at Spalding . were broken open , and all the watches aud plate Btolen 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 -vyeht the other day to Lincoln , a distance of more than 50 miles ,: to dispose of part of his plunder , the affair haying become almost forgotten , and it so chanced that the first p lace he went to was the shop of Mr . Wilson ' s father in High-street , Saint-Peter-at-Gowts , arid it albO singularly happened that the watch he presented for sale was one that Mr . Wilson personally knew had
belonged to his son . Tho man was detained , and somo other property was fouud in Lincoln . Ho 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 being searched , no traco of the rest of Mr . Wihon ' a property was found , but on a subsequent search , a large stone bottle was found upou a shelf , and on being taken down , it proved that a hole had been broken in the bottom and the watches arid jewellery put therein , carefully packed in hay to prevent it from rattling . Mr .. 'Wilson has thus singularly recovered the whole of his property ( except two watchep ) , and a burglar in most extensive practice has been detected , and committed to the hoHse of correction for the . division
of Holland . Match to Gallop One Horse Twenty MitfS , WITHIN Tllfi ' . iloua . —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 unfortunateiy broken his horse ' s legs in three places before he had made the first tarn of five miles . Immediately after the above named affair , Mr , Goodman , a member of the turf , matched himself lin a similar undertaking for £ 100 , to take place on the same spot , viz . —a three mile piece of ground on Sunbiiry Common , and on Wednesday last the affair came off . Mr . Goodman had been up } to the day in close training , weighing about ton stdno ; and havjns ¦ p . urcbased . a-fiue old
Bteepio chaser , named the Knight , " expressly for tho occasion , was ready at all points ( or the atart at four o'clock . The bettiug had risen considerably in favour of Mr . G—in many iri&tari ' ces to 6 to 4 , and in some even 2 to 1—which must be in some measure attributed to Mr . G . 's well-known energy , per sever ? ance , and strength of aervo . Mr . G . went off at a steady pace , which- ho continued to the close , and completed his taelc apparently with great ease , havingnedrly four miiiuies to spare , neither horse nor rider showing 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 fasbioaable equipages aad great numbers of equestrians .

A week after , be again cut his throat to a greater extent , at which time he waannder an order of removal ftom St . Margaret ' s parish to the Strand union . He was removed to the Strand Union workhouse on the 5 th instaht , at which tiuie he was so weak as to be unable to walk . By the Coroner" I have no complaint as regards hio treatment ^ but I think his removal from St .

Wisney's Bank . —Meeting of Creditqbs . —On Thursday evening , a private meeting of the principal creditors took place at the hOUBB of Mr . Bash , Caetle-aquare , Brighton . About siity ^ erspngwer ^ present . From various statements made , according to present appearances , the largest dividend that can be expected 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 counsel from London in order that the whole affair may be thoroughly investigated , as slight hopes are entertained of reepveririg certain property for the benefit of the large body of oreditors . :
At the Leice 8 Teb Assizes , an extraordinary case of slander was tried . The action was brought by Dempster Hemming and wife against Mr . Power , a solicitor . Mr . Hemming is a geritlbman of fortune , acquired in India , and sixty years of age . His wife is a fascinating lady , of about twfinty-eight . Their marriage was solemnized in the year 1839 ; and Mr . Power was charged with spreading a rumour that Mr 3 . Hemming was the wife of one Henry Alleyne , whom she called her brother . Mrs . Hemming was married as Rhoda Alleyae ; and she arid her brother were strangers in the neighbourhood when Mr . Hemming became acquainted with her . The counsel for the plaintiff Bimply 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 description Mrs . Hemming had given of herself , as to her maiden name , to be correct ; but with regard to her pretended brother , it was clear that his name was Henry Chard ; that he was a superannuated tide-waiter from Liverpool ; that h * had been Hying at Filichley , or Hatnpstcad , with Mrs , Hemming , ostensibly as brother and sister , in 3838 . If he proved these oircumstaiicas , tho jury would bo Satisfied Mrs . Hemming and her brotbar were mere adventurers ; that Mr . Hemming was their dupe , arid that tho verdict should pass for his client . Mr . Balguy , on the other side , insisted that the jury had nothing to do with Alleyne , and the Judge inclined to that opinion . Tho jury , however , gave the plaintiff only one farthing damages .

Tbi-ec of the Bninll craft , one of them the Oban packet , another r aloop laden with potatoes from Girvan , and a coal gabbert , were rendered cpmpleto wrecks . Tbe gun-brig is still ashore ; and the Scotland has a crew aboard pumping her incessantly .
On shore the liunicftne was no loss destructive . In all parts of the town , cliimriey stalks and stalks of vaiions public works were blown down , and serious joss sustained . A considerable pait of Messrs . Lsit . ch and Ooi' ropeworlc waa hurled to the greund ; and we » to aiHTy to say that this bnrricance did not end iu the destruction of property only .

Glasgow . —On Friday night , this city was visited with one of the moBt severe storms of wind that has been experienced here : for many years past . Tae gale during tbe afternoon was considerable , but about six ot seven o ' clock it increased to a perfect butrfcane , so much so that the streets were nearly cleared , peopla finding it next to Impossible to maintain their footing ; while tho danger was greatly increased from the vast number of chimney tops aud slates which were huvlcci with violence from the tops of many houses ; of which the streets this morning bear ample evidence . During the gale there were many vivid flashes of lightning . In the Gallowgate , during tuo heiglit of the storm , a sign-board was -wrenched from above a shoemaker ' s
shop , a , nd by the force of tao -wind borno nearly sixty yards farther up the street We lament to lewn that , about ten o ' clock last night , an accident of a Berious nature , occurred at Garnkirk Fire Brick and Linie Works . Two of the stalks were blown down by the hurricane , which swept over the city and suburbs , and as this unfortunately happened to be thenight oh which the men at these works commenced a double shift , all those engaged in that department were buried in the ruins . By the most active exertions the sufferers , five , in number , were extricated from their dreadful situations , two of them dead , and the other three much injured—one of \ theni so much that he is cot expected to recover .

Robert Galdwell , solicitor , of 101 , Great Brunswick-street , for whose apprehension two warrdhts had been outstanding for many days , was brought in custody of Police Serjeant Kennedy , 8 B . before the Magistrates- of CoUege-slreet Police Office , Dublin , charged with having assaulted , with intent to commit violation , the wife of Mr . Corbett , of Fitzwilliam-place , barrister . From the eyieienca of the prosebutrix , as given by The Freeman ' s Journal , it appeared the prisoner had been on friendly terms with . Mr . Coibett for the space of a year and a half , during which they had various transactions in the way of business , Mr . Ca , ! dwell taking to Mr . Corbett all tbe briefs he could mnsteri The prisoner had been frequently at : Mr .
Corbett's houfie , his presence there beins . however , occasionecl , for the moMt part , by professional aflTaira , though on two occasions ho had dined there , Ou Monday se ' nnight lie dined with Mr . Corbett aad his lady , aud on the Saturday following he pvoceeded to the house of the prosecutor in Fitzwilliam-placo , under the , pretencS of paying the visit usually exacted by etiquette , after the acceptance of Buch a complimtnt . Having knocked at the door ,- he inquired of tha servant ; if Mr Corbett were at home ? The servant answered in the negative , saying that his master had just gone out ; which , howevtr , was not the case ; but Mr . Corbett , being in disabillo at the time , had given directions that he should bo denied . The prisoner then inquired whether Mrs . Corbett waaat home ,
for that if so her presence would suit his ; , purpose as well ? The servant replied that his mistress Wasin the attidy , to which apartment the other was unhesitatingly admitted . The prisoner having found the lady seated in an arm chair sainted her courteously , and , drawing over his own chair in the vicinity of the lady ' s ; they conveTsei for a few - minutes upon ordinary topics Presently , however , his couversatioh assumed adifftreat . tone- ^ he talked rapidly with great fervour , and began to praiso the eyea of his companion ^ which he averred were bright above tlioee of all other mortals He then spt-ke more undiaguisedly , and throwing himself on his knee he . lamented the situation of his fair c 6 mpa , nion , aud asBured her with great impasiionment that he grieved that her heart wiis not at her own
disposal , for that if she were Bingle she should not be without an offer . Fired with indignation athearlug herstlf adofeased in such a strain , the lady rose in high displeasure , and told the pisoner that such words were unfit ; for the ears of a married woman ^ and informed him that if he did not immediately leave the room she should tiug for . the servant to turn him out She was proceeding accordingly across the room , with the design of summoning the aervaut with the ; bell , when the prisoner sprang from bis seat with desperate violence , and spreading his hand over the lips of the lady , in order to stifle her so effectually as to render utterance impossible , he told her that all kor resistance Would be in vain . The priBonet then proceeded to take liberties of the most infamqua nature with the lady , the details of which are , of course , utterly unfit for publication . A deadly struggle ensued , the fortune of which was as yet doubtful , when the lady , deecrying a large
case-knife lying in a silver bread-basket upon the table , seized it in desperation , and made a fierce plunge at the breast of her assailant The ptisoner , in his effort to elude the blow , which must have been fatal had it taken effect with such excessive violence was it aimed , let go his . hold of the lady ' s mouth , and succeeded in wringing the weapon out of he « hanci- The lady , uttering the moat clamorous shrieks , rushed to the door , closely pursued by her assailant , who brandished the knife in the air , and had almost felled her to the earth , when Mr . Cbrbetfc , who was in the lower parfc of the house , in the act of fastening bis straps , when his wife ' s screams , first reached bis ear , ran up stairs , having eeized , in the exigency of the moment , a fork ; the only weapoia wbicn lay at hand . On the instant of Mr . Corbett's ar ; ivingf his lady had effficted her escape freia the roomy and having exclaimed , in tones of agony , " The knife .

Mr . Corbett seized a boot-jack and
hurled it at the head of tho prisoner , whom he pursued down the stairs with terrific speed , and might , perhapa , have Succeeded in overtaking him , were it not that the same servant maid who had already inteifered , threw herself-in the course of the pursuer , and terminated the chase , at& Becurea the piesent escape of tne pri-Boner .: Mrs .

presuming on the encouragement be had thus receired in acting as he had . The prisoner then produced four or five letters , signed for the most part , " Your affectionate Caroline , " and all of which contained professions of the most passionate regard .

Fitzgibbon , denied in terms ot the most unmitigated indignation ^ , all knowledga Wliat 8 O « ever of these documents , ¦ the : production , of w&iclx appeared to excite in no one more surprise than in herself . It waa ^ "false as hell , " the assertion that she had penned any « uch composition . She had never given the prisoner more countenance than became an honourable woman . She never walked with him in the street , nor
never had had interviews : with him m private . . Mr . Corbett deposed that he did not consider the letters to be written , any one ol them , in the hand writing oJ his lady . Mr .
