We are happv to learn that the Magistrates of Bangor have exacted the penalty of £ o, with j Costs, from a publican of this city, for allowing tippling in his house at a late hour on Sunday evening; many individuals also have been fined at the complaint of the Church-wardens and Con- stables, for appearing in the street on the sabbath in a state of intoxieation.

But theyearly cost of all engine of that dimension is, under the most favouraslo cir- cumstances, estimated at .iflOiJO. which is there- fore, the annual saving procurred by such a fall of water. The perpendicular height of the pro- posed reservoir above the sea we found barometi-1 cally to be 881 feet. Estimating the quantity of discharge by the water of Leith, when full, at 1200 cubic feet every minute, the whole force thus evolved by the decending stream; if rightly husbanded ami" directed, would be equivalent to the action of lOG steam-engines of twenty- horse power. The annual value the different falls that could be procured along the river, when equalized throughout the veiii-, by the supplies furnished in the dry seasons from the reservoir, must amount at least to 10(5,009.— Put this large saving or income is not merely advantageous.to the properties of machinary es- tablished in the vicinity of our northern metro- polis, but wouldCtwti-ihnte most, materially to the wealth and prosperity of the country. It would create, for the use of the State, as great a store of labour as could he produced by the annual expenditure of half a million. A" object, tltereforv, of such vast mordant, seems to claim .ha special patronage of the patriot and legis- lator. As many individuals do not seem to be aware of the enactments of the New Combination Laws, we insert the following abstract: A JUDGE'S OPINION.—An action of ejectment was tried at Durham, on the 1st inst, in which a. point of law raised by Mr. Pollock, wfts over- ruled by Mr. Baron Hullock, his Lordship ob- serving that the point must be decided elsewhere.

At Worcester Fair, on MondaYt the supply of fat cattle and sheep was unusually short, and nearly all were readily sold at from 6kd. to 7d per lb. The demand for lambs was much greater than the supply, and the whole were sold at 8d. per lb. Scarcely any thing remained unsold, except store cattle and ewes; of the latter there was a large shew, but no buyers, as very high prices were asked, though considerably lower than have lately been obtained this is attributable to the want of keep, in consequence of the late drought. At Doncaster fair on Friday last, there was but á. very moderate show of horses, without much demand, and at lower prices. There were very few horSeS ofa superior description.

Upon this the. attorney made the will in the way desired and upon the death of the testator, which happened not long after, called the family together, and surrendered the. whole of his right to them.

CARNARVON GRljAT SESSIONS. Before the Ilon. Chief Justice. RAINB, and Hon. Mr. KKNRIUK. The King, on the Prosecution of John, lloberls, far- mer, against John Roberts, labourer, for Murder. Mr. ATTORNEY GRYERAT. stated to the .Jury, that the prisoner stood indicted tor the wilful mur- der of one Catherine Roberts, late of Kronchwith. in the parish of Llanddeniolen., in this county (,QH the morning of the 27th May last, the prisoner came to the prosecutors house with a bill-hook in I his hand, and first struck at the servant girl; he i then struck at the'mistress with the same deadly instrument seyeral times about, her arms and head, i of which wounds she afterwards died. Ellin Williams, servant at Kronchwith, saw the prisoner come into the house at 9 o'clock of the morning of the 27 th May last; he had a bill-hook in his hand; her mistress and three servant wo- men were there; he struck her on the temple will.* the bill-hook; witness then saw him strike her mistress; witness ran' out for assistance, so (lid Mary Evans, another servant; saw prisoner and mistress in a few minutes outside tbe door he was striking her with the bill-hook; master and another servant (Griifith Roberts^ came there prisoner struck at (r.

Griffith Roberts lived at Fronchwith 27th last May remembers hearing some one cry out for assistance; went up and saw his mistress lying on her face before the door, and the prisoner beat- ing her with the bill-hook he ran off, and struck at me as he passed witness took his mistress to the house she was much cut about the arms and head.

John Roberts is a surgeon residing at Bangor; saw Mrs. Roberts, of Fronchwith, 30th May- last, very ill, from the wounds she had received, (the witness here also described the wounds;) the wounds were the cause of her death she would have died under the best treatment. The case for the prosecution closed here, when Mr. Cockerell for the prisoner, called three, wit- nesses, who distinctly proved that the prisoner wasoecasionaly very wild & vi lent, and attempt- ed to make away, with himself a short time before the melancholy occurrence surgeons were also examined, who expressed no doubt of his insani- ty.

This was an action brought against Mr. Ro- flesh meat, delivered on board several vessels of which de- fendant was part owner William Jones, the plaintiffs son; proved the delivery of the meat on board the several Oil aecount of tile ()Wll- ers, and that the masters of the same had promised to pay. The defendant pleaded in abatement, .butthe court was ofopinion that this action could not be supported inasmuch that credit for the meat, was given to the different Captains, as ap- peared by the teslimohy of plainiifl's son.—The pliiintilf \> :■; therefore nonsuited. <It i KICHARJ) JONES V. GKO. DATES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a mason, against the defendant, a contractor of part of the Holyhead road, for building a wall near Llangwen. Plaintiff's witnesses proved having completed a considerable portion of the ( wall, and that there was a balance of ^4 17s. 6d. due to plaintiti'; tiie defendant, however, ptodu- ced a written contract, by which it was agreed, that the work was to be finished by a specific time, and to the Satisfaction of Mr. Provis, the Engineer, who prove(i that was not the case.- The plaintiff was non-suited. 11 EN 11V EVAX,4, MARINER, V. ROBERT HUMPHREYS, FARMER. Attorney General, stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is master of a vessel at Carnarvon, against the defendant, a farmer, residing at a place called teram, in the parish of Llangristiolus, in the county of Angle- sey, for an assault, part ef which was biting- plaintiff's thumb in a most ferocious manner.— The defendant pleaded justification, but he would say, that the defendant may think himself lucky, that he was not defending himself in a different ,way in a court of Justied. The facts of the case are thus—on Saturday evening, the 5th of March last, the plaintiff, together with Powell, of the Custom-house, and Mr. Thomas Row- lands, went into the Tyn-y-cei public house, to comfort .themsel-v.es with a glass of Ale or some other beverage.; several persons were doing the same, awVdefendant came in soon afterwords,— all then was quiet. In a few minutes, defen- dant began boasting of his fighting, that not a man in Carnarvonshire or Anglesey, could stand against him, as he had beat their champion, Nul Price, and at the same time striking the table violently with his fist, just as he supposed to shew the state their heads would he iu, if they came in contact with his Gst. Plaintiillhen said in a good humoured manner, stand up and let's look at you, and immediately added; no, "You are too great, a man for me ;bllt if you'll take off your shoes, t'tt light, you," but he*ultimately said, I'll have nothing todo with Von and williolit. a word seized him by the throat, and knocked plaintiff down from his chair, and Gentlemen would yon believe, it. this beast, seized him by the thumb with his teeth with great force and also tore his coat from top to bottom; no madman who might have broke loose from bedlam could behave with greater violence—he was at last, with great difficulty forced from plaintiff and turned out of the room.—He trusted the Gentlemen of the Jury by their verdict in "iving liberal damages, would be the means of preventing this diabolical and inhuman practice of biting the violence of this ungovernable man would have done honor to fome Canibal country, some fellow loud of human flesh, some savage, but not to the character of a true Welch man, a name the defendant disgraced.—He then called upon them for ample damages for this most unparalled ferocious,assault, and called Jh", ilobert Parry, of Cnrnarvon, merchant, who proved that he went, to Tyn-y-cei in May last for a glass of ale plainiifi, defendant, and many others were there Mr. William Parry alid another man with him, recollected defendant taiking- of his fighting, and that he would fight any man in Anglesey or Carnarvonshire that he had beat Ned Piice, the champion of Carnarvonshire, he was knocking his hands against the table. Before that time nobody had a word with him; recol- lected plaintiff sayiug.in a joking way. In that, case I think you must be a very great man." D- fendiiit was" then upon his legs, whenn man from (-it lame one) laid hold of defendants arm, and pulled him down upon his chair; In two or three minnlt's; quite unexpectedly Defen- dant came round the table, passed by the witness, and.w/fiit lo.plainiif}' nttd strirck him on the side of ihfehead, and laid hold of plaintiff's neckcloth quite fu*t, plaintiff was then sitting; plaintift'got quite fu*t, plaintiff was then sitting; plaintift'got up to defend himself; the witness tried to exiri-i evo- deftifdimis hand from Plaintif fneckcloth; pladt'iff called out <- Murder" he's throttling nie J plaintiff ivas black in the face from the throttling; j plaintiffs thumb in defendant's mouth, plaintiff then called out Oh (»■—d I10 is biting me, witness went to plaintiff assistance anil tried to separate went to plaintiff assistance anil tried to separate them, plaintiff and defendant fell down, and we took defendant from plaintiff; Saw blood on the plaintiffs 1h\;mb his<;i>at was lorn from the collar to the skills nud in several otherj places de- fendant was forced out of the room been deavoured to come in again he kicked the door violently, and part of tiie lower pannel of the door wa« forced in with a kick and lest, the door should be broke to pieces, we thought it best to j open it; the door was after partly opened, and we spoke through the opening defendant then with his knee thrusllll the remainder of the pan- nel; hi; afterwards came into the room and was towards plaintiff but we prevented him.

Mr. Justice Jervis delivered the charge to the Grand Jury, which was but. short in its de- tail. With respect to the case of Johll Lloyd, against whom there was a charge for beating his wife with a severity, which caused her death, it was the inte.ition of the Court to make the fuljest inquiry into tile COllduct of the Coroner and he thought, it proper to slate that, if after such in- quiry, hi; .should be found 'culpable, proceedings would certainly be had against him, thilliaM Junes, of Hope, aged »}'); for stealing wheat, the property of Win.

FLINTSHIRE GREAT SESSIONS.
FLINTSHIRE GREAT SESSIONS. THE great Sessions for the countv of Flint commenced on Saturday last, the 20th instant, at j Mold before tiie Hon. M. Jervis, and the II011. sir Giffin Wilson, Knight. Sir G. Wilson, addressed the Grand Jury, at sbroe length, and with great eloquence, but our correspondent arrived in Court too late to favour us with a report of the address. True bills were found against the following prisoners: John Gardner, Thomas Robinson, and Thomas Dean, charged with having entered into the shop of It. tailor and draper, Holvwi-U, nil (benight of the 1 -4 th of May last, and stealing- therefrom seventeen one pound local ii-otes, in silver and copper, two black silk handkerchiefs, a thimble, and other articles. The Attorney-general, Mr. HILL, detailed at great length, and with great perspicuity, the cir- cumstances attending the theft, and several wit- nesses were examined by him and.MKESON, in part corroborating the statement, Mr. TEMPLE undertook the defence of one of the prisoners, and cross-examined the witnesses with his usual ingenuity. The chief evidence on the part of the prosecution, was that of the iden- tified thimble" being found in the possession of one of the prisoners but Mr. T. 's expgrtness in twisting and twining the evidence of the thimble," eleared every doubt, of the prisoners' innocence as it regarded that, and excited the continued laughter of the Court. The prisoners were consequently acquitted, and upon their discharge Sir G. Wilson addressed them in emphatical terms, stating, that the evidence was not strong enough to convict them, yet there appeared circumstances which created sti-oll" suspicions, They had money in their possession before they were apprehended, which was not at all accounted for, and concerning which they had told different stories. He ex- horted them with great force at all times to tell, the truth, For," said he the truth will never rise up in judgment against any man." EiizabetJt lUiell, was brought to the bar. charg- ed with having feloniously stolen from tha dwel- ling-house of T. Jones.of ivinnerton-green. the sum of £ '8. 17s. GJ, in money the property, of the said T. Jones. I Mr. HILL stated, that he did not think it his duty to proceed with his indictment, there being no evidence to prove the crime. The candour and liberality .with which he stated to their Lord- ships the circumstances attending the charge, were laudable in the extreme; and while anxious to perform the arduous duty he owed to his King I and his country, he nevertheless could not think of putting a person on her trial for life and death with so weak an evidence as that which appeared against the prisoner. This precaution was the more necessary, when the, extreme ignorance of Welsh Juries in general is considered. Edward Hayes alias Jones, was indicted, charg- e(I with stealing from the dwelling-house of James George, of Wellington, a suit of clothes, silk handkerchiefs, and other property of the said Jas. George. The attorney-General stated to the Jury, that the prisoner at the bar, stood before them for his trial under an indictment for a capita! offence, having entered into the dwelling-house ofthepro- secutor in the day time, and stolen therefrom goods to the value of upwards os. He then com- mented at large upon the benefit and utility of such offences being made capital, in order to pro- tect the property of poor persons from depreda- tions. while. they themselves were unavoidably absent from their dwellings. Tie said that the circumstances attending this stealth were .these.— That the prosecutor left about G, & the wife about 12 in the forenoon. The wifo had taken every care in securing the door and the windows of the house before she started. She returned about seven in the evening, and on endeavouring to unlock the door could not. felie then examined the window, and found that an ironbarhad been wrenched out of it. A boy was consequently sent in to the house through the window, who opened the door for her admission on the inside, and entering, she exa- mined the house and some boxes, and found that a suit of her husband's clothes, 2 silk handker- chiefs, and other articles had been stolen from one of the boxes. In consequence, of the prisoner having been seen very nearthe prosecutor's house on the same evening, suspicion fell upon him as being the person guilty of the felony. A constable asked him several questions which were only an- swered with the greatest virulence. Prisoner stated at the time, that he was at Chester the day the felony was committed, which would be proved to he false by the evidence of several witnesses.— None, however, of the property stolen was found in the prisoner's possession, except one of the ■siHe handkerchiefs which had been lost, and whihJ would be identified by prosecutor's wife. After these circumstances would be proved, he (the Attorney-General) had no doubt but that they (the Jury) would find the prisoner guilty. Joyce George. Robert Wright, Joseph Carr, and. \Villiam Clarke, were examined by Mr. Jervis, jun. Their evidence entirely agreed with the statement of the Attorney-general. Mr. Justice JERVIS summed up the evidence, accompanied with such observations as were ne- cessary to explain it, and in a short time thejury returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoner, who was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years, and to be kept to hard labour. Edmmb Jones was next put to thebar, charged with feloniously slaying and killing Samuel Thomas, at the parish of Hope, in the county of Flint. It appeared that the prisoner had been lighting with the deceased, on the loth of June last, at the ilolly-bush, near Hope, and that during the contest, the deceased met with a se- vere fall, and ever since the battle to the time of his decease, had complained of his head. The innocence or guilt of the prisoner entirely de- pended upon ilie evidence of Mr. J.T. GrifTith. surgeon, Wrexham, which was delivered with great judgment and clearness. Mr. Griffith was called on the 1st of J une to see Samuel Thomas, and upon hearing the symptoms of his disease, e\ahiiiied his hoad, to ascertain whether there was any fracture, but discovered none. Tiie de- ceased died on the 10th of August, when Mr. G. attended to open the head, upon examining which he found a quantity of water in the middle of the left side of the brain. He was, however, of opinion, that was not sufficient to cause his death without some concurring circumstance. Mr. Justice Jervis said to the Jury, that there was no evidence to entitle them to find the pri- soner guilty. That it was clear by the testimony of a very respectable surgeon, with which they could not avoid being satisfied, that the death was not directly caused by any injury the deceas- ed might-have received at the fight. The Jury, consequently, returned a verdictof Not Guilty," and the prisoner was discharged. There is only one cause entered for trial.
