e~g tobacco ; and after smoking, eat a beef-steak raw, and then wish-' lag himself a pig in the West Indies. The principal witnesses for the prosecution were then recalled, all of whom proved, that at the time he had dealings with them, he appeared perfectly collected and in a sound state of mind. The Chief Baron, at 7 o'clock, proceeded to sum up the evi dence, in which task he was engaged until nearly 9 o'clock. The Jur% then retired; and after deliberating about five minutes, returned a Verdict of NOT GUILTY, upon the ground of Insanity. The Verdict subjects the Prisoner to imprisonment for life, or during his Majesty's pleasure. BOXING. The match between Scroggins and an adventurer, technically named the Oilman, but whose real name is Whitaker, took place on Tne,dav at Moulney Hurst, in the presence of at least 15,000 ama teurs. This combat excited much sporting attention, as Scroggins (although a winner, made a bad fight with Eales) was not consi dered the man he proved himself with Noelsworthy, whom he beat 4 !eve rly. These speculations induced many to take the odds about the Oilman, who nevertheless was not considered much, but yet was esteemed a game one by Cribb and Belcher, with whom he set-to. The Oilman was finite as confident as Scroggins could pos sibly be, and this cave stimulus to the encouragement of his backers. Crbb and Richmond seconded the Oilman, and Oliver and J. Clark seconded Scroggins. After a deal of very hard fghting, which each had at times the advantage, the ninth was a dreadful round, and Scroggins had the best of fighting. In runnel twelve, the Oilman shessed his strength in throwing. In the 14tIs Sef or gin; could not be got in, and in the 15th the Oilman had the best ef bitting. In the 16th round, Scroggins placed a good hit cn his adversary's left eye, which closed it. In the 47th, 48th, and 4Utli round', the Oilman's right eye was closed, and he was in total 4Lirkness. The battle lasted one hour and fourteen minutes. BC ENOS A ItES.—Buenos Ayres had been thrown into the sitro-t constei nation by the sudden disappearance of their Ad miral, with four of their principal ships of war, and a considera isle ti Tamil e. This officer was an Englishman named Brown, v.hn went nut to .South Arne% ira as a mere adventurer, and being con vei sant in naval tactics was eagerly employed by the Buenos Ayres Government. In all his renconti es midi the Monte-Vi deans at sea, he never failed to acquit himself most gallantly, and had thus contHetely gained the confidence of his employer up to the time of his flight. Whither he had gone, or what had cawed his sudden treachery, could only he matter of conjecture; hot it was feared by the people of Buenos Ayres that be had been bribed to cuter into the schemes of the Spanish and Portu gric,.e Courts, whom they believe to have coalesced, for the purpose of reducing all the Independants. The recovery of his South merican possessions must, doubtless, be an object very t car the heart of Ferdinand VII. ; and it is not improbably coujectlitcd, that the projected matrimonial alliances between tlte Courts of Spain and Portugal have been accelerated as mu: hby a view to this object as to any other. If the Govern mei.t of B. azil has adopted the views attributed to it by the people of Buenos Ayres, the engaging Brown to act the part he has done. however odious in regard to its treachery, may doubt leas facilitate the execution of any coup de main against that cf t v. A letter from Paris, says--" On Monday the 18th ult. a • Court Vartial sate at Paris for the trial of two soldiers of the 95th r who had committed a brutal outrage on a poor family at Tavernv. Walker turned King's evidence, Neale, who had long been regarded as a desperate character, betrayed no emotion on the occasion, awl received his sentence with all the hardened indifference of which a mind entirely lost to every sense of virtue is alone capable. On being reconveyed to his prison, he requested a pack of cards, and passed the time between his conviction and execution in atibrding every proof in his power of the insensibility and depravity of his heart. On Saturday morning, the day ap pointed for his exectitif,n, he ask for a pipe of tobacco, and ex_ pressed his resolution to die with it in his mouth. A temporary gailows %sus erected neat the scene of his crime, and he died as he had lived, without apparently knowing or caring whether there was a God or an hereafter. Too much praise cannot be given to the officers of the Oath they individually visited the poor family, Auticipated all their ulnas, provided the best surgical aid ; and JAN. 14. subscribed a purse of 1000 francs for their relief. The man, who has three severe sabre wounds in the head, is expected to recover, but of his wife there is little hope to be entertained ; she is of a full habit, and the wounds in the head and arm have taken an unfavour. able turn : the daughter, who was only slightly wounded, is nearly well. On the 26th the battalion left Taverny for Compeigne, highly respec►ed by the inhabitants for the general good conduct of the soldiery, and the distinguished urbanity and humanity of the officers." A few days ago two seamen bolonging to the Africane frigate were sentenced to death by a Court-Martial, for a crime revolting to the feelings of every well-organized mind.—We lament to find, that five others have since received the same sentence, and one to receive 500 lashes ; and that in the course of the investigation between 30 and 40 persons have been implicated, in a greater or less degree, in this disgusting crime.
