      *" " BEAUTIES OF BYRON . SO . XXJJl . " THE _COSSAlR , " < _flie worto of our poet are so _rolmninons _, and the _«> beauties" of his writings so endless , that we should _jji-vcr be able to bring our extracts to a conclusion _^ eIe we to give but a thousandth part of what we _juigbt fairly extract under thc above head . In the n _? m before us , the passages we ought to copy would _jjcupy this column for three or four weeks to come ; tat this cannot be , we must confine ourselves to one notice ; and this course we shall pursue with most of t lie minor poems . Perhaps hereafter we may even pram more than one poem into oue week ' s notice . Brief though our extracts must be , thev will afford

      the reader at least a glimpse of the _aiuazing _beautv 0 f this poem . ' O ' er the glad waters o'the dark blue sea , Our thoughts as boundless , and our souls as free , Par as the breeze can bear , the billows foam , Survey onr empire , and behold our home ! These are our realms , no limits to their sway—Our flag the sceptre all who meet obey . Ours the wild life in tumul : still to range Prom toil to rest , and joy in every change . Oh , who can tell ? not thou , luxurious slave ! Whose soul would sicken o'er the heaving wave 5 _JTot thou , vain lord of wantonness and ease ! Whom slumber sooths not , pleasure cannot please—Oh , who can tell , save he _tvnoseheart hath fa-fed , And danced in triumph o ' er the waters wide , The _ejculting sense—the puke ' s maddening play , That thrills the wanderer of that _traciiess wav -

      let him who crawls _enamour'd of decay , Cling to his couch and sicken years away . Heave his thick breath and shake hi- palsied head ; Oars—the fresh turf , and not the feverish bed . While gasp b y gasp be falters forth bis soul , Ours with one pang—one bound—escapes control . IDs corse may boast its urn and narrow cave _. And they who loathVl his life may gild his grave : Ours are the tears , though few sincerely shed , When Ocean shrouds and sepulchres our dead . For us even banquets foud regret supply In the red cup that crowns our _msmory ; And the brief hour of joy iu danger ' s day , When those who win at length divide the prey , And cry , Remembrance saddening o ' er each brow , How had the biave who feU exulted now

      MEBOSA WATCHIXG FOB THE CUS 3 _AIB . Oh J many a night on this lone couch recUued , My dreaming fear with storms hath winged the wind , And deem'd the breath that faintly lann'd thy sail The murmuring prelude of the ruder gale ; 1 'hoagU soft , it seem'd the low prophetic dirge , That mourn'd thee floating on tbe savage surge : Still would I rise to reuse the beacon fire , Lest spies leS 3 true should let the Waze expire ; And many a restless hour outirateh'd each star , Aud morning came—and still thou wer'i star . Oh ! how the dull blast on my bosom blew , And day broke dreary on my troubled view , And still I gazed and gazed—and not a prow Was granted to my tears—my truth—my vovr I At length ' twas noon—I liail'd and blest the mast That met my _sight—itnear'd—Alarlitpassed ' Another came—Oh , Cud ! 'twas thine at last !

      THE _PABTIXG OF COXBAD A S 3 _JfEDOSA . ¦ She rose—she sprung—she clung to his embrace Till his heart heaved beneath her hidden face . lie dared not raise to his that deep-blue eye , Which downcast droon'd in tearless agony . Iter long fair hair lay floating o ' er h ; s arms , In all the wildness of dishevelled charms ; Scarce beat that bosom where his image dwelt So foil—that fe « Iimr seem'd almost unfelt ! Hark 1—peals the thunder of the signal-gun _i It told ' twas snnset—aud he _curbed that sun . Again—again—that form he madly _press'd *\ V ' uich mutely clasp'd , imploringly caress'd ! And _totttring to the conch bis bride he bore , One moment gaxed—asif to gaze no more ; Felt—that for him earth held but her alone . _KissM her cold forehead—ttirn'd—is Conrad <* one ?

      Onr remaining extract we give from the _concluding portion of the poem , ihe purilrand beauty of which it were Tain to praise . Let thc reader turn to the poem , and read for himself the 19 th , 20 th , 21 st , 22 nd , and 23 rd sections of the Third Canto . We ma- * content ourselves with thc following lines , picturing Conrad over the dead body of Mcdora : — _Hereach'dMs turret door—he paused—no sound Broke from within ; and all was night around . He _kuock'd and loudly—footstep nor reply Announced that any heard or deemed him nigh ; He knocked—hut faintly—for his trembling hand Utilised to aid his heavy heart ' s demand . The portal opens—' as a well known face—But not the form he panted to embrace .

      Its lips are silent—twice his own _essay'd , And fail'd to frame the question they delay's ; Hesnatch'd the lamp—its light will answer all-It quits his grasp , expiring in the fall . He would not wait for that reviving ray-As soon could he have lingered there tor day ; But glimmering through the dusky corridore , Another chequers o ' er the shadoWd Soot , HU steps the chamber sain—his eyes behold All that his heart believed not—yet foretold ! He turned not—spoke not—sunk not—Sxtt his look , And set fhe anxious frame that lately shook : He gazed—how long we gaze despite of pain , And know , we dare not own , we gaze in vain ! In life _iiself she was so still and fair , That death with gentler aipect _vrither'd thera ; And the cold flowers her colder hand _contain'd ,

      In that last grasp aa tenderly were straia'd As if she scarcely felt , but feigned a sleep , And made it almost mockery yet to weep : The long dark _lashes fringed her lids of snow , Aud _reil'd—thought shrinks from all that _lurk'd below—Oh ! o er the eye Death most exerts his might , And hurls the spirit from her throne of light ; Sinks those blue orbs in that long last eclipse , But spares , as yet , the _cliaixns around her lips-Vet , yet they seem as they forbore to smile , Aud wish'd repose—but only for a while ; Bnt the white shroud , and each extended tress , Long—fair—hat spread in utter _lifelessnes ; _. Which late the sport of every summer wind , Escaped the baffled wreath that strove to bind ; These—and the pale pure cheek , became the bier-Rut she is nothing—wherefore is he here !

      _T'Alf'S EBisBURGH MAGAZINE —Marat Edinburgh : W . Tait , Princes-street ; London Sinipkin , Marshall and Co . Bertox's "Life and Correspondence of David llarae" is- fhe subject of ihe opening article in this month ' s number of _Toit ' e Magazine . Judging by the extracts _given iu this article , the philosopher does not appear to great advantage in this work . We gather from this review that Mr . Bcrtox objects € ut little to the scepticism of _Uxtie , the philosopher having been a " respectable " atheist ! The ' * specu lative philosopher , who does not directly interfere with the religion of hii neighbours . " Mr . _Bcstox

      « an tolerate ; but "the blasphemer , who raises his Toice offensively and oontentiously against what his fellow-citizens hold sacred , invokes the public wrath , zmd is no just object of sympathy . " From the above , our readers - will be at no loss to comprehend the "liberalism" of " Jomr IIiix , Bvriox , Esq ., advocate . " __ Ilis liberalism reminds us of au anecdote of the subject of his biography . If we remember right it was Dim" Heme who , in a conversation , rcmar & d that " atheism was like champagne , a verv good iaingfor the rich , but , like other luxuries , was not to he permitted to the mob . " " TheDeserted Farm ; a tale of the Game Laws /* by Johx Mills , describes too truly the operation of those atrocious laws . " The

      Antigone cf Sophocles" is a clever and entertaining criticism , by Thomas Ite Qcixckt _, on that famous ijreek tragedy , as represented on the Edinburgh st ? _A \ t " ' _^ . _* S ildi Opium-eater" is in raptures with Miss Uelk _Fav-cii ' s personation of Antigone , hut the poor " chorus" get an unmerciful quiaing . l \ e have a most interesting w _. ntinuation of the re Tiew „ of _!*«« _twnpWPs Lives of _English Cbancel lors _- r , _£ ic _tonWpV _ofWovsa affords another proof of the truth of the adage , that " the devil is not so black as he ia painted .

Mak Casboil . - _J ° Ladaveze _Auabin , ex-Lom _» Mayor op pBLK t- —This was an action brought by the plaintiff , > recover compensation for the seduction of her dVS hter Mary Anue Garroll . Damages were laid at _^ 50110 ' and tae defendant pleaded "Sot Guilty . " if . ; Dwyer stated the case , from which it appeared tha *" 1 tlle yeaP 181 * -thu defendant lived with his father _atu'onda-kin _. intue county of Dublin , at which period r _]™* about , twenty-one years of age , and seduced the p _b-iutiffherself _, who was _Uien a young girl residing with her . father , who lived in the same neighbourhood , an « " l'e had by her three children—a son , who was born j 31318 ; a daughter , the girl alleged to be seduced in the present action , born in 1824 ; and a third child , also a

      female , born in i sm . The defendant , hesaid , reared this family well and respectably , and educated his eldest daughter in the best manner » p to the year 1 S 12 , when he seduced also her from the paths of virtue , and had a child by her in 1843 . _Thelesruedgentlemau , in conclusion , said he would prove t _* ese tacts by tho unfortunate girl herself , and read a number of letters which were written by Mr . Arabia to Ser . —Mary Anue Carroll , examined by Ur . _IloUestone" I am daughter of the plaintiff . My mother lives » n Bride-street , and has lived there for four years . W « _hred there in IS 42 , during the summer , at the time * ne occurrence took _placo , and we lived before that }» French-street , and previously in Cumberland _, _plars . My father is John L . Arabin . I saw him at my r « other ' s place . He always came wherever we were . My mother kept no servant in Uride-strect , in 1 S 12 . I had a brother aud sister . He is older and she is younger than

      1 am . I went to school to Miss Lord ' s , in Stafford-street , and to Mrs . Allen ' s , in Stephen's-grcen . My father paid for my education . He paid Hiss Lord , and £ 2 to Mrs . Allenby one of the witnesses . I used to do the work in my mother ' s house . My father wanted me to be a boarder at Miss lord ' s , but my mother did not wish it , and I was oaly sent as a day scholar . My father had a country house at Corkagh , near Clondalkin . I was often there . Whenever 1 weut to the country he used to bring me into town in his car . He often brought me home from Clarestreet to my mother ' s when it was late . It was his own house in Clarc-strcet , and his brother , the counseller , lived in it . I was frequently in that house . I remember making an appointment with my father , the dvfendant , iu the year 1313 , I appointed to meet hint in _Sackvillestreet , or a little street off _Sackville-street , the name of which I forget . Ue made that appointment iu my mother ' s house . The defendant did uot tell me what he

      wanted with me , for he often before met me aud brought me to Harries ' , on Wellington-quay , and other places . I met him , according to the appointment , about five o ' clock in thc eveniug . It was summer time . Mr . Arabin was in the house when I arrived . He was in the parlour , and he brought me up to the drawing room . We had some conversation thcie . I forget what it was . 1 don ' t remember much what he said or did on that occasion . He told me I was his own property , and he could do what he liked with me . lie did do what he liked with me . So man erer acted as he did on that

      occasion , before or since . 1 had a child by Mr . Arabin , which is alive . My mother has it . She is in this town . The defendant told me not to tell anybody what had occurred , and he sent me home in a car . I often saw my father after that . I was _nerer in that house again with hiui , but ha was in a . house afterivards with me , aud treated me in the same way . He was very sorry for what occurred . He used to call me Mary and Polly . Ha frequently gave me money , and always gave me presents of money , both before aud after this transaction , until lately . He often wrote to mc since the . seduction took place , but never before it ( The witness here identified the several unsigned letters , -which were read by counsel , and swore that they were in the defendant's handwriting . ) The

      child I had by Mr . Arabin was a female . He often saw and nursed it . I never spoke to him about providing for the child . Upon my oath , the defendant is father of that child . _—Cross-ncaudned by Mr . Hatchell : It was in the house or cottage in Bride-street that I was delivered of the child . It will be three yean old next June . I had left school at the time I went to the house off Sackvillestreet , I am certain of It . Mr . Arabin gave me £ 1 to get tlie child haptized . After I left _Glasuevin I went to lire with my mother . I first saw Mr . Walsh , the plaintin ' s attorney , since last Christmas ; my mother weut to liim . I bid her go because I saw his picture in the Mansion-house . ( Great laughter . ) A woman told me that it was his picture , aud that he was a good man . My mother wanted to have Mr . Fitzgerald . Mr . Walsh told me that

      my dada disliked him , and I heard afterwards from Mr . Dunne that he had beeu suspended by him , and not allowed to practice in his court . Mr . Walsh has given money to my mother within the last mouth ; a little . He gave me money also , bnt it was all my mother . 1 got my share of it to be sure . ( Laughter . ) I did not get a letter from England upon my oath , a few days after I went to Glasnevin , from a person named Thompson , but I got a letter every week from my father , with £ 1 in it . Elizabeth Arabia , a girl about 10 years old , was then put on the table , and having answeredsevcral questions to his lordship to show that she was acquainted with the nature of an oath , was examined by Mr . Coates as follows : —1 am a daughter of Mr . Arabin , and sister of the last wit . ness ; the plaintiff is my mother . I often saw Mr .

      Arabia in my mothers house in Bride-street ; I have gone to him for money for my mother , and got it ; he paid for my schooling . —John Smith , examined by Mr . Dwyer : I know William Murphy . Was the proprietor of No . 12 , Sew Bride-streef , aud is so I think , since September , 1341 . He built the cottage in which the plaintiff resided , and it became occupied by her in September , 1812 , and her two daughters , Mary Anne and Elizabeth Arabin . The inmates of that cottage were all , I believe , well conducted . I never heard anything against them . Mr . Arabin , the late Lord Mayor , paid the rent . He paid it tome last year in the Mansion-bouse , l _^ gave him receipts for the rent for Mr . Murphy , and put the plaintiff ' s name in them as paying it . —The plaintiff's cage then closed , and Mr . Hatchell , Q . C ., proceeded to address the jury for the defence . He stigmatised the entire case as a foul aud _malicious conspiracy . Mr . Arabin did not , aud could not deny , that , when a youug man , he hadformed a connexion with the plaintiff , lived with her , and had

      some children by her , amongst whom was Mary Anne Arabin ; but he repudiated the atrocious allegation that he was her seducer . The true state of the ease was this —it was a conspiracy got up by some underhand party , who urged onthe plaintiff to make this charge for the purpose of extoition , and she was easily worked upon from jealousy , for Mr . Arabia , from her conduct , was obliged to discontinue all intercourse with her . She became a person of the most abandoned character , being constantly intoxicated , and in tha habit of annoying him in the public street ; so much so that he was obliged to give up rendering her any assistance , and she then commenced her attacks npon him , and accused him of keep _, ing company with a female named Betsy Asking . As tc the letters prored to he in his handwriting by the first witness , no doubt they wera written by him , but not to h ; r ; for they were addressed to her mother , Mary , and wer * not shown to be addressed to any one else . Mr . Itollestone replied for the plaintiff . The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— £ 1 , 000 damages , and Cd . costs .

      He & tfobd , Satcboat . Chas _* _s of Mcsder . —Levi Warman , aged 45 , was charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , with the wilful murder of his wife , Elizabeth Warman . The evidence _against the prisoner rras entirely of a circumstantial character , hut was of such a description as to leave very little doubt of his guilt . It _appeared that he was a labourer , and resided at Standen , in tbis county . The deceased was represented to be a very well-conducted industrious woman ; but the prisoner had some bad connexions , and frequently quarrelled with and ill-used his wife . On the evening of the ICth of August , tlie deceased had been to market , and returned home with some little articles she had purchased about seven o ' clock , and the prisoner questioned her as to what had become of some

      apples off the trees in the garden . The deceased replied that she knew nothing about them ; upon which theprisoner abused her , struck her on the head , and drove her out ofthe house . She went to a neighbour ' s cottage for protection ; and the prisoner went thera and told her to come our , at the same time making use of various threats towards her ; and , among other observations , lie _sai"l if _sbe did not come out he would " weed her in the neck-hole , and she should remember the day and tha hour . " The neighbours , seeing the temper of the prisoner , advised the deceased not to _g _« indoors until he was gone to bed , and she remained about the house , and was last seen alive , crying iu the garden of the cottage . Shortly after this the prisoner sent his daughter , who waa the only person in the house at the time , te a _beer-sliop at some distance , to

      fetch him a pipe ; and immediately after she was gone , theprisoner was heard to come down stairs , and go int » the garden ; aud he then again returned to the house . When the daughter came back , she found her mother lyiug in the garden , q uite dead . An alarm was giren , and the prisoner went down stairs , and on his teeing the body he exclaimed , "Ah , she is gone , and God bless her . " TJpon the body being examined by Mr . Packman , a surgeon , at _Fuckwidge , he could not discover any external mark ot violence , but upon opening the head he discoverd a violent bruise under the skin upon the scalp , which had caused an extensive extravasation of blood , which pressing upon the brain had occasioned the death of thc

      deceased , and he said he had no doubt the injury was occasioned by a heavy blow wiih some blunt instrument , such S 3 a stick or a piece of wood . A heavy stick that was fouud in the cottage of the prisoner was produced by the constable ; audit was likewise _stati-d that there was a large piece of wood in the prisonerV garden , which was used to keep tbe gate shut , and which was moved from its place on this evening , and it was suggested that the fatal injury had been inflicted by means of _ohb or other of these weapons . The prisoner , when called upon for his defence , said , "I never hurt her ; she must have hit her head against the door . " The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter , and he was sentenced to he transporte & for twenty years .

      HicfiWAr _EonnEEi .--Ch » rles irumraerstone , 24 , a well-known Loudon thief , was indicted for a robbery with violence , upon Joshua Liliey , on the Queen ' s highway , and taking from him fourteen sovereigns ; and Lee Bucklaud Wade , 24 , was indicted for feloniously inciting and _eouMidlb ) " the other prisoner to commit the offence . The _circumstancei ofthe case wcre tliese : —The prosecutor was a fanner , and on the evening of the 31 st of December he was returning home from market In his cart , when he was attacked by five men , some of whom jumped iuto the cart , and held * him while the others rifled

      his pockets , and Vobbed him of the amount mentioned . The prisoner _Huwmerstone pleaded guilty . The only evidence against the other prisoner was an extraordinary conversation which took place between him and Hummerstone , while they were locked in separate cells , but within hearing of each other . The conversation referred to was proved by Barnes , an inspector ofthe Herts constabulary , and was to _ihefolloiving _effect _'—Humnicrstone began the conversation by calling out for " Buckey , " and asked him where they " pinched" ( took ) him , and he replied at Cambridge . _Hummerstone theu said he was quite sure they would pinch him , for they were all seen on the road together . Duckey then asked Hummerstone what he mean t to " patter" ( his defence ) , and he replied thathe should say he went to a public house , where the

      " sploder" ( witness ) was , aud had two pots of beer , and that he overtook the other men by accident on the road . The prisoner Hummerstone then told the other prisoner that while he was in the cage he heard a respectable man say , " that the'bloke' ( prosecutor ) could not , and would not rap to any of them , and that he had better lose the fourteen ' quid' than hare to pay £ 50 or £ 60 , whichit would costto get them _lagged . " He added , " if Cheeky is taken it will be tho worst for me . " Bucky replied , ' « —— nonsense , keep to one story , if I had not done so I should have been ' ochered' ( transported ) long ago . " Hummorstone theu said , " If I get my liberty again , you will not catch me in a chuck' ( highway-robbery ) with any ofthe ' home ones' ( country thieves ) again . " Bucky then said , " I ai ' nt afraid of my Poll ' s cracking , for she does not know anything only what jou told her on the road , aud I told her not to knotv any of you . " Hummerstone replied to this , " I should be glad to _takefseven ' shekel '

      ( years ) for tins , and glad of the chance" Bucky said , " You begin to duck , but you will be square enough . 1 dont think any of you _wihVbe stuck to . " He then asked whether they didn ' t have a split ! Hummerstone said "Yes , Blood and Cheeky collared the ' prad * ( horse ) , and I jumped up behind the chaise and gothold of the 'blokeV collar , but the _^ drag shook about so that I lost my hold . " Buckey then asked what time they got home , and _Huuimei-stone replied "About twelve o ' clock , and Blood and Nutty went away with the ' rowdy . ' I was ab——fool for not sticking to the wike" ( booty ) . —Mr . Baron Aldeison , there being no other material evidence , said there was no doubt that theprisoner Wade was perfectly wellawara of all the circumstances ofthe robbery , but the evidence was not sufficient to make out thc specific _charge in the indictment . Wade was consequently acquitted , and the other prisoner was sentenced to bo transported for life .

      Newcastle , _THtrnsoAr . THE MURDER NEAR MORPETH . Ralph Joicey was placed at thc bar , charged with the wilful murder of his fathur , Robert Joicey , by poison . — Mr . Otter stated the case , and the following witnesses wcre called for the prosecution : —Julia Coulson , examined by Mr . Grey : 1 live at the Portland Arms , on the road between Morpeth and Felton .

I sa iv It o bert Joicey on the Monday at the Portland Arms . Ho came for a glass of gin to take the medicine . He took it away in a small bottle . We have frequently had medicine left at the Portland Arms for the prisoner ' s mother . —John Milchiusou was examined by Mr . Selby . The testimony of this witness went merely to show that the parcel he received from Miss Coulson he gave to Isabella Brown the next day , about eight o ' clock in the morning . —Isabella Browu was examined by Mr .

He contiuued by times vomiting all ni ; ht , till about four o ' clock in the morning . It abated then . He was purged during the night . He complained of being sick . I gave him water , and tea , and coffee , and anything he had a wi-h for . He bad a good deal of cold water . I did not give him the other powder , as he had been so bad with

He drank very little more water that day . He got some powders from Dr . Iledley that day . My son brought them in the afternoon . When my son was goiDg for tlie lime on Tuesday morning , I told him to go to Dr . Hedley . He brought back a dozen of powders . Four were to be taken , one every four hours . I told my son to tell Br . Hedley that my husband had such a night after the large powder . 3 Iy husband died on tbe Suuday following _, lie never vomited after the Tuesday . He took the powders regularly . Dr . Hedley came over on the Sunday night . My son had been sent for him . He came in with Dr . Iledley . Dr . Hedley

      saw my husband . I cannot say what was said . — Sarah Thompson : I and my husband live at Cockle-park . I knew the prisoner ' s family since May last . I was second neighbour to them . Old Joicey died on the 8 th of the month . I saw him on the Thursday before , in his own house in bed . He was very sick , and had a severe retching and hiccup on him . He was shifting about in the bed aud tossing his arms about . Ue complained of a burning in his breast , and said he felt like to bo choked . He complained of thirst . Nothing was given him wllile I was there . I remained but a few minutes . I saw him again on the Saturday . I stopped but a few minutes . He seemed no better . I saw him next on the Sunday . He had fainted when I went in . He was nearly down on his knees , and two women and his wife were holding him

      up . We got him into bed . I did not sit down . He seemed in much pain . I did not see him aguin till night about six o ' clock . He was worse then . I went tack about eight on Monday evening , and remained there till he died . The prisoner was there when he died . I did not see him there till the Monday . —Hannah Brown gave an account of tke state of the deceased , similar to tbat made by the last witness . Edward Brown : I am a _hiad at Cockle-paTk . I worked with the son in the _barrel . The father worked at the harvest too . I remember him and the son haring some difference in the field . I did not hear all . I heard some words . The prisoner came to my house frequently in the evening . I have often heard him speaking about tho disagreement he and his father had . I remember him on one occasion

      saying , he wished his father ' s corpse had gone from the _[ ilaca — he would not shed a tear . Walter Weallens : I am farm steward at _Cockle-park . The prisoner came last May . He was hired for twelve months . I knew the deceased . I beard of bis illness the first week in December . I saw him onthe Sunday . Isabella Joicey and Sarah Thompson were there . He was in bed . He said he was very ill . I did not see him again until his death . On the Saturday following I was at Jokey ' * again . I was told that Margaret wanted m « . I went . Margaret , her mother , and Ralph were there . Margaret set ma in a chair . I inked her " Wlivt was her * illi" She made no answer : Ralph ' said "It was he that wanted me . " Ue said , "He had sent for me to confess . " I said , " What I" He said , " I did the deed . "

      1 said , " What deed ? " He said , " I poisoned my father . " I said I was v _» ry sorry to hear that . He said , "There was no other person guilty but himself . " He said every other person was clear . I asked him , " What was his motive for doing so V He said , " He was so agitated by the old man almost pushing him into the fire one night , thathe made up his mind to go to Morpeih and procure some stuff . " I asked him what ha got He said , "Arsenic and jalap . " I think he said it was on Morpeth horse-fair night . Ho . also statud llial he went Straight through tho fields as fast as he could go , to the Portland Arms , aud gave it in , and then came round by Tritlington , and called at James Ore ' s in his road home . He said it wanted twenty minutes to eight when he got home . I have seen the prisoner write twice ; once when he was hired , and once when I paid him some money . He wrote only his name . 1 think tbis paper now produced is

      fialph Joicey ' _a hand writing . This ( the _p-iper sent with the medicine ) is not so liko . I have no belief about it . ( First letter read—it was as follows ) : — " Ralph Joicey is the man that did tho deed , and bought the arsenic en Bretou the chemist , and there was jalap _amsngst it . there was no one auquent with it but myself . It was bought about 2 months since for the purpu 3 _- , and there is some lyiug in a bush between Casey-park road end and the turn of tbe hellem bank on the west side of the road in a bush near thc hellem turn ia a bleu paper . " Dr . Hedley wrfs next examined , and deposed to bis treatment of the deceased . He had sent no powders or otlur medicine to the Portland Arms , at the time the fatal parcei was left there . In the course of his cross-examination he said : I cannot say his death was caused by arsenic . It was a metallic irritant poison .

In the last stages of typhus the griping at the bed clothes is a very common symptom . I have never known of any mistakes ia the delivery of the medicine sent to the Portland Arms . Arsenic is kept in my shop-it is white , _"l ereisnoneof _asliue . _colour . Calomel is metallic . The _Srsl packet the deceased got had from two to two and a half grains in each powder . In severe cases of cholera sixty grains have been taken with impunity . _H is m itselfa metallic irritant poison . It would produce salivation . If taken in large quantities it would produce vomiting and purging , and inilammatiou of the stomach with the _eonsequentsymptonis . —George t _' ringle , apprentice to Mr . _Creighton , at Morpeth , staled that in thc latter end of October hu sold some arsenic to a young

      man about twentv . nve years of ago . It was an ounce . Could not say it was the prisoner . Tho arsenic was wrapped up in blue paper , and the word poison written on it . —William Embletoii stated that Morpeth horse fair was on Saturday , the Hath October . Was in Mr . _Creighton ' s ihop that evening . Thinks it was betweeu darkening and six o ' clock . Uncollects a man coining in to get arsenic . To the b . _* st of witness ' s belief it was the prisoner . Told him there were much better things than arsenic to poison rats witk—cork fried in grease . He said his master had ordered him to get arsenic . Vringle asked liim where he came from ? He said something like " Causey-park , " or " _Cockle-park . " On leaving Mr . _Cjeighton ' s witness went homo . On passing Mr . Hood ' s shop , looked in at the window , and saw the prisoner ai the counter . Jfr . Hood was behind the

      counter serving customers . —James Hood stated that he remembered selling some _julup in powder to a young man with the appearance of a couutry man , one eveiw ing in the end of October . —Ann Richardson : Went to live with the prisoner as _bondnger on tlie 12 th of May . Was there six months . Margaret Joicey came home on the 12 th of August Witness lived with them till Novem . ber . The father and son agreed very badly . When his father has gone to the door , prisoner has sail he wished he might never come in again , that lie might be brought in a corpse . About a month before witness left , a quarrel took place in the family . Dr . Iledl ey was sent for . Mrs . Joicey was bled . The old man and Margaret were fighting one day , about the end of harvest . — Jolm Whigham : Is a police-officer . Went in search ot

Ckai-g « d him with having poisoned liis father , ne said he knew all about it . Took him away to Morpeth . On tlie road asked him if it was correct he had got tho poison at Creighton ' s , lie said it was , aud lie had told Weallens all about it . That he had left the poison at the Portland Arms with Julia Goulson . He said they would find part of the powder near thc top of tlie Helm ou the hill turn . Ho said he flung it into a large bush . —Robert Ilawdon : I am a surgeon at Morpeth . On the 10 th of December I made a post _worftin examination of tho body . Thc gullet was very much intfumed , as also the-stomach . In oue part it was in a state of mortification . Ialso examined the small bowels ,

      they were also mueh inflamed . The other parts of thc body were healthy . The mortification was the cause ol death , and was produced by some acrid mineral poison . Arsenic would produce thesa appearances . I took away the _stouach and its content' . The latter I put iuto a phial and delivered it to Mr . Creighton , the chemist , on . the 10 th of December . —William Creighton : I am a surgeon and apothecary andpractieal chemist at Morpeth . I analysed the contents of thc stomach . They would about fill a _idue-s-laji . The liguid looked like coffeegrouts . The _moi'fling- ' after I received it I tested it by Marsh ' s test . The principle of the test is to gem'rati hydrogen gas in a fluid _suspected to contain arsenic . Having produced some hydrogen gas with pure distilled water , I tested the gas by holding a clean plate over the

      flame while it was burning . It showed no trace of arsenic . I then took one half of the contents of the stomach ami put it in . The gas then produced a distinct arsenical spot . I then tried tho same test on a known solution of arsenic , and obtained a precisely similar spot . I then tried if the metallic crust or spot so produced were volatile . It passed away by the heat of the spirit lamp , which is characteristic of an arsenical deposit . 1 tried to experiment on the other halt of the contents , and the eas was accidentally dissipated by the assistant moving the apparatus . The parcel shown me by Whigham contained arsenic . I experimented on the stomach , but could trace no arsenic . —Dr . Glover stated tliat hearing the evidence given , and supposing the account of the

      _jyinptom-i correct , he made no doubt tho death was preduued by arsenic . — cross-examined ; Would prefei Reinsch's test for arsenic , producing a black stain on copper . I should not have been perfectly satisfied with Marsh's test , without testing the spot . I should have expected to find arsenic in ) the substance of the stomach , except on a particular hypothesis . —Henry Glassford Potter gave a similar opinion as to the cause of the death . —Mr . Matthews addressed the jury for the defence . —His Lordship summed up the case with great care . His charges occupied nearly tiro hours . —The jury , after bring absent about fifteen minutes , returned a verdict ot Guilty , with a recommendation to mercy . —His Lordsfiip , in a most impressive address , passed on the prisoner _sontoiica of death iu the usual form .

      _FaiDAt . Manslaughter . —Selby Green was indicted for the manslaughter of Ralph Parker , The prisoner , with one of his companions , was , in the latter part of September last , in thu eating-house of a person of the name of Thomson , in the Pudding-chare , in the town of Newcastle . It was between twelve and one o ' clock at night . The prisoner and his companion wcre at supper . The deceased , who . with several others , hud been rather _disorderly in the street , entered the house with the intention apparently of creating a disturbance . _. They did not order anything for themselves , but , entering the box in whieh the prisoner was sitting , snatched the meat off the plate ol

      thc parties . The prisoner got up and asked what that was for , on whieh the deceased struck hiui in the face with his open hand . The prisouer had tho knife in his haud with which he was eating bis supper , and struck the deceased in the left eye . The deceased immediately fell , the knife remaining sticking in tha wound . The prisoner scemedmuch shocked at whac had oocurted , and assisted in removing the knife , which required considerable fore * to extract it . The deceased was taken home , and lingered for some days , when he died . Verdict , Guilty . His Lordship , in consideration oftbe prisoner havlng been in custody since the 1 st of October , sentenced him to be imprisoned one caleudarmontli .

      liELANEr V . THE _HllNDitED or B . _vsiiioBcn . — -This action ,, which was commenced yesterday , occupied the _greater part of to-day . The plaintiff in this case is a person whose name was some time _ajjo rather prominently before the public iu a trial before Mr . Baron Gurney , in which he was charged with the murder of his wife , and was acquitted . Ou returning to his house near Sunderland , tlie mob attacked it , and having driven out the inhabitants , set fire to the bouse and destroyed it , with a great portion of its contents . This action was brought under a statute of 7 and 8 Gcorgo IV ., against the _hundreti , to recover the amount of tbe damago so sustained . A good deal ot eridence was given as to the value of the

      property . The Rev . Jlr . Belaney said the house was well furnished , in some parts extravagantly . The greater part ofthe furniture had come to Mr . Belaney through his wife , who had received it from her mother . There were a number of books iu the house , ancient coins , and other curiosities . The books he thought could not bo bought under £ 209 . Had himself furnished a house for between £ 200 and £ 300—not so well furnished as the plaintiff ' s . By other parties the furniture was valued at about £ 400 , tllC books at £ 100 , About £ 50 worth of plate , china , & e . p were saved . The jury , after being absent an hour out ofthe box , returned a verdict for the plaintiff , allowing £ 10 for his interest in he house , £ SS for the furniture , and £ 10 for the books .

      SwiUSEA ( South Wales ) , _Fridat . Highway Robbery . —Charles Williams , 2 G , and William Morgan , 27 , were indicted for highway robbery , _witti great personal violence , ou the person of David Davics , from whom they wcre charged with stealing £ 170 in sovereigns , half sovereigns , and silver , the property ofthe Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England . This was a robbery attended with circumstances of great aggravation . The Company of Copper Miners have works at Momston , three miles from Swansea , and for the last fifteen years have been in the habit of employing an old man , 82 yeaTS Of age , named David Davics , to carry their post bag daily from Swansea to the works . Once a week he was in the habit of bringing money from the Glamorganshire Bank in Swansea , with which to pay the wages

      of the workmen at the copper works . About ten o clock on the morning of the 15 th July , he attended the bank , when the cashier put £ 170 in sovereigns , half-sovereigns , aud silver , in the post-bag , whieh he locked , and delivered to Hie old man , who loft the bunk with a view of going to the works . About eleven o ' clock in the morning he had reached a place called _l'laesmawr , two miles Irom thttown of Swansea , and a place in the immediate vicinity ol wliich were extensive copper works and collieries , —a spot apparently by no means well suited for the commission ol a robbery , especially during broad dajlight . Here the old matt was attackvd by two oi threo men , one of whom cut the strap by which the post-bag was fastened around his shoulders ; he was immediately blindfolded by moans of a kind of cloth which was thrown around his face , beat

      and kicked most violently until he became insensible , and thrown to a culvert which passed under the road on that spot * there happened to be but littlo water nt that dry season of tlie year passing through the culvert . The sounds of groaning attracted the attention of some persons who passed that road , and on looking uuder the cul . vert , they perceived the old man , whom tliey at once recognised as the Forest W _« rks postman . They took him out ; he was in a shocking state of exhaustion , and when he recovered himself , he informed thein of the circumstances attending the robber } . From some information _received by Inspector _ltecs , oftbe Swansea police force—a very active officer—lie took both prisoners into custody that nig ht at Lhmelly _, a place twelve _milcB distant trom

      Swansea ; one being -hi bert in a vagrant lodging-house , and the other in Ijed in a public-house . The cose , as against Moriran , depended chiefly upon tho evidence of the old man , n / hopositively swore to his identity as the person who first attacked him , and cut off the strap . The only othei * _evi'jwlcc j , eing that he was nt Swansea that morning , m <\ f 0 Und at Lhmelly in the evening , the spot being situi » . teu ( though not the direct rond ) between thuic places , ' fhe evidence against the prisoner Williams was entirely - circumstantial : two coppermen , named Williams ! andl , cyshuw , having sworn that they met the prisoner ( W iUiams ) onthe road , _uhottf . thirty yards from tlie cul-T _< rtin company with _twojother men and a woman , but I tliey could not say whether one of them was the other pri .

      soner . It also appeared that Williams had called for Morgan at the house in which the latter lodged , about two hours _bufore the perpetration of the erinie ; while the lining of a hat was found iu the culvert hi which tlie old man was found , and on examination the lining was found wanting in Williams' hat ; and it could not , however , be ascertained whether the body and li > . ing found would correspond , as the policeman hadsoinehow lost the latter . Thero were somo other unimportant circumssmces disclosed . After an hour and a halr ' . i deliberation , the jury found both prisoners Guilty , whereupon Mr . Justice Wightman sentenced them to ' transportation for life . ltKADINO , TUcSIXST .

      _Chahoe o ? _Mahslal-qhteb . —Thomas Fowler , 40 , surrendered to an indictment charging him with the mmislaughterol ' John Barnett , at Abingdon . It nppitirod that the deceased , who had formerly worked for Mr . Fouler , went to his malt houses on the day named in the indieiment , and abused and threatened h : m . A man iiamod _Miildluton , who was there , saw Barnett puthis fists tip to strike prisoner , who took a malt shovel and struck _dott-aseil on the side of the head , unfortunately inflicting so much injury us ultimately to cause death after- _iinhitarval oi Jive days . Thc witness Middleton , in reply to the judge , said deceased was near enough to strike Fowler at the time ho put up his hands , and that it appeared to him that Fowler , who picked up tho shovel on the instant , only meant to defend himself from the attack . Tlie judge stopped the case and directed an acquittal .

      Mhanolloly Suicjdjb Of A City Merchant. ...

WiUiam Carter , tho coroner for Surrey , hold an inquest at tlio Hampton Court Palace , Francis-street , Nuwington _, on tlio body of Mr . John Shaw , aged _iifty-six _vtinrs , lately residing at No . 5 , _iVuiworta-terracc , _IVafworlh-roud , and recently connected with the linn of Messrs . Alderman Lucas , Pope , and Shaw , of Water-Jane , Great Towcr-strcet , City , who committed _i-iuciilc . Thejury having been sworn , proceeded to liio deceased ' s late residence to view the body , which presented a very shocking spectacle , the head being nearly separated from tlie trunk . Upon tke return of thejury to thc inquest-room ,

      Eliza Trail deposed that alio was in the deceased's service . On tlio morning of Friday iust , about half-past seven o ' clock , witness went into _dccetU'Cd ' s room with a cup of tea . lie was in bed at thc time with Mrs . Shaw , anil appeared rather excited , lie desired witness to bring up some hot water , as lie was about to shave himself . Witness returned in a few minutes , and placed the water on the side-buaru of the _dressiiuj-rooitt which immediately joined the bedroom . Witness then returned to the kitchen , Iblloii'cd by Mrs * . Shaw , who left flic deceased in tho act of _dressing . They had not been from the apartment more than five ininutcs before Mrs . Shaw went up _staira , when witness was alarmed at hearing her mistress screaming for assistance . Witness ran up , and saw Mrs . Shaw endeavouring to force the door

      of the drcssing-rouni , who , fearing 15011101111115 had happened , dirvcted witness to fetch a chisel , with which they forced the door open , and on en ' erii _. g they discovered the deceased on his knees , with ii frightful wound in his throat , from which the blood was issuing copiously . There was a razor lying on tho table , smeared with blood . Mrs . Shaw placed a silk apron in the wound , whilst witness * ran for medical _uasUtance . Mr . Boddy attended with promptitude , but he gradually sunk , _ai-. d died about two o'clock in tho afternoon . Witness had frequently observed the deceased weeping and excited , exclaiming , " It will be so until the 1 st of March ; " ami he would often refer to some property which lie said lie was fearful of losing by the anticipated American War .

      Mr . Shaw , a solicitor , here stated that the deceased had considerable property in tlie Pujet Sounds , and also in the Hudson ' s Hay Stock , which he had 3 ome idea would be affected by thc American War . Deceased was , consequently , much in the habit of crying when in the presence of his wife , who remonstrated with him and endeavoured to console him , but ho was evidently in an unsound state of mind . Mr . W . 11 . Bodily , surgeon , stated that he was called in on the morning in question , aud found tho deceased on the floor with a wound in the throat about seven inches in length . The gullet , and all tho branches of ( lie neck were separated , ami lio hail lost about three quarts of blood ; witness sowed up tlio wound , but ho became violent and died about two o'clock from the effect of thc injuries . The symptoms , subsequent to the wound , were certainly indicative of insanity . There being no further testimony ,

      The coroner remarked on thc distressing natnro oi thc evidence , after which thejury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity . "
