BEAUMARIS PETTY SESSIONS. QUESTIONS OF SALVAGE. lIfecting8 of th0 magistrates of the county of Anglesey, have recently been held at the Shire Hull, Heaumaris, to determine on the amount of salvage, pro|n:r to be paid the salvors in two cases of wreek, that have unfortunately lately occurred oft this coast, in hoth of whieh the property has diilted into or near Itedwarf, every soul on board having been lost. i The first was the case of the LortI Xelson, of DlI!nfro", w hich wo m011tioned in our last number as having hee" upset, during a sudden squall on the olst iff December, when but a little way from 1J0nhsin thti Isle of Man, into which port she had put from stress of weather. The vessel had been injured hy thc underwriters of I.iverpool, for eight hundred poun s. The hull was now valued at three hun d re d an d fifty pounds and the cargo was dispiiseii of at Keiiw h an amount Ž we could not ascertain. The hull has sinee heon been taken by Mr. Reynolds, rigent for the under- writers, to Liverpool for repair, having received but little injury, though beating abollt ill the chan- nel so long in a disabluII state. The salvage or dered by the comt to he paid IVas two guineas eaeh for the owntrs of fourteen boats, containing nine tytwo men, who also were each to receive two guineas, amounting altogether lo .1233 ls) whid1 with £10. Is. for labourers engaged in unloading, 1:1. Is. for steering the vessel into port; and U. 16,3. for cartage, was to be borne by the under writers of Liverpool. The next was the ease of the schooner ,h,7m, of Preston, which was towtd into Itedwharf, on the loth inst. a half of which vessel had been iu sured by Lloyd's, at London, for J.jll. and tho cargo at £;;110. Mr. James Harris, jun. of i^eau maris, the accredited agent for Lloyds, at 1,toli. don, attended with his solicitor, Nlr. John Jones, town clerk, of Beaumaris, to oppose the claim of the salvors, oil the ground that they did not use proper exertion to save mneh of the property, which was in consequence entirely lost, but that they mther preve..t"d him and his assistants from so doing 011 hiil arrival on the spot. Fro1ll the sbteHleHt of 1\11-. \larris, which was corroborated by the evidence of ('apt. Edwards, iu his employ, it appeared that about ten o'clock on the morning of Saturday the lith inst. Mr. Harris received in formation that the fessel in question was observed flouting on her beam ends in Redw harf bav, and having procured assistance he immediately went there, aud found eleven boats, containing eighty four meu, towingjhtr into port. When the vessel grounded, the hoats left her, and Mr. Harris took their names alld the number of mell employe,1 ill teach. He thell s.-nt for the master of the boat that first got ¡wi,] of the wreck, alld told hilll that he woul,1 take all account of every thing saved, and their exuitions; requesting him at the 3amC time to keep possession of the property with him, until all expences were paid, all,1 the salvage fixed hy the magistrates. The man agreed to this on Ille part of himslf nod the other salvors. As soou as tile tide was sufficiently out, Mr. 11anis and his assistants went down on the sands, all,1 found there a number of sacks of oatmeal, which had heen washed Hul of the vessel. !!e procmed a cart to convey thelll tu a place of salWv. and hili IlIell havi g comniei ced Jo ining it, he left thelll to look for more. He soou afterwards found "11 other sack, of which he took possession, when a uUIIII,r of men (the salvors) attempted to take it frolll him. Jle resisted their efforts a long time, and at length was dragged from it hy two of them along the sands, alld lI1osIIHulall,I' treated. About all hour before th" ebb of II," mor. ing's tide, Mr. Harris having procured tw" "ther carts, again went down to the wreck with his mell, and gave tilein orders to take up a sack of oatmeal that was laying 011 tl", sands. They were prevented doing s b, the salvors. Mr. Harris told them he was anxious to get tile propHty into a place of safety* and if they would allow it to be taken away It should be put into any secure warehouse they pleased. lie was then told that Owen Hughes, opeofthemen by whom he hall ucei1 su ill treated, the preceding night, bad been appointed hy !II i' Price, of the ('11""111 House, to tak" charge of it The l'art at t!,i* time could have ïHW dlle:11 most to the vessel, and if thuy had not prevented him, Mr. Ha, ris "d have saved a number of hags of oatmeal, and a quantity of loose oats in bulk, which had sinee been entirely lost, nnd the value of which was abollt fifty or sixty pOU1"k- Mr. Harris said it \va< always his most anxious wish th"t the ,alrors should be encouraged by proper remuneration tll save property that miglit unfortunatel y bo wreeked oil this coast hut. iu this case he thought the obstructions they had thrown in his way to prevent thc success of his exertions, oupht tll exclude them from noy large amount nf ralvugc.—John Williams, Ksq. the chairman, snid that it appeared to him the salvors were notat all to blame, a they belicved they were doing right In acting u.'der the orders of the custom house odieeis; allel if they 1ml acted im proptrly, or cour»n they would be 1m>e answer- able for their con ud elsewhere hut he could not tUeido that question there. If, however, h" might tJ allowed to express his; opinion as to the, proper mode of procedure in cases of wreck, he would say. that the a..cuts for the underwriters in any great commercial town, should take the ma nageident, and pay the salvors and other expenee: hilt in ease they were not present the custom house o[lk.-rs should tahe charge of tJw properbt'y till their arrival, If th" i v,sel were instned I)v the underwriters at Liverpool, and they had no agent 1Jl\ sent, the agent for Lloyd's at London sho"I(1 lake to the property till some peron with proper authority should arrive, and nee versa, merely retaining suiiieieat to paJ the salvors and defray the other expences. If there should he nny dispuie between them respecting their authority, the eustom house officer should shove them hot" over- board, and take command himself till they had decided the quarrel.— Major Hampton said that he happened to he near tho Split soun after the vessel 11",1 grounded, and he saw Eve or six of the salvors very much intoxicated, from (if inking brandy they had found on board. To prevent fllnher mnehief, however, olle oung" mall broke the j;»r, and he certainly deserved great credit for doiii £ H.

The p articulars of thc award we have not vet ascer- tained but most probably shall give them in our lIext. The magistrates seven ly reprimanded the sal-, "tlf for their improper (,olldnd, but were of opi- llion tbev \4"J(} not so have acted but for the ad- vice alr,1 orders of the custom house officers, whom they thought themselves bound to obey. On [Monday se'nnight, the house of J.Powles, Esq. in Monmouth, was broken "pen, and a quantity of plate stolen therefrom. The robbers effected their entrance by forcing down the upper sash of the pariour window till the brass screw fasteninR'?ate way, and then wrenching open one of the shutters at the hinges. The parlour door being left un- lastcned they proceeded into the (ii..i,,g r( i I ransacked the sideboard drawer, and a cupboard in the parlour, of all the plate, with which they got clear off. It is singular, that notwithstanding some of the familv slept in the rooms immediately over, and in one of which a light was burning, not one of them was alarmed.—Same night, the house of S. Harris, Esq. was entered, it is supposed by the same parties, but the family not having all rC tired to rest, the robbers were disturbed, and ran off.—The vestrv door of the church was also at- tempted to be "broken open the same night, but without success, I WELSH LITERATURE. I To the Editor of the Xortk Walrx Chrnnivlc. Sm ;-[ a few days ago was presented by a menu with a copy of the venerable Archdeaeon Bevnon's selection of Welell Heroic Poems, of which the reverend gentleman spoke so favourably m his address to the members of the Cipnreifpjdd- j ion Society, at Carmarthen, over whom he pre- sides; and notwithstanding that prelate asserted that the introduction of his publication into North Wales would he like "throwing pearls before swine, T am happy to say, many have been found, even in that part ot the Principality which he so hastily condemned as being devoid of taste, to co- incide with him in opinion of its merit. 1 sincere ly hope, and firmly believe, that the numerous and ingenious bards of Gwynedd will in future follow the example set them by their Powisian brethren, instead of practising the ancient fettering system which has hitherto confined their abilities and narrowed their powers of description. Let me also recommend tothem, in their compositions, the use of words that may he easily understood; so that their productions may be read with ease. de light, and benefit, by every class of society. Of late )fars, almost all the prize poems of our splen- dHt l.ish-ddfudaut and the numerous Ciimmimddion societies in Wales, are to the great bulk of the people written ill all unknowillauguage, Hearecly one person out of twenty, who am aceMUuned to read their bible in their mother tongue, can uu dN<taud our Webh podry when fettered in the J/C.VMWU ('ailhion.

WEST POUT MIJKDERS. The tragedies of the West Port are still a subject of grave and zealous investigation. Applications are daily made to high and low, to every person who can be supposed to possess the least direct or indirect knowledge of these horrid deeds, and were the inquiry aided stiiiitilated by a full and au. thentic confession from Burke, there is a strong probability that more of the murdcrers might soon be brought to LI?c ignominious death they deserve. Some respe"tah1e gentlelllclI have commcneed a subscription to promote the course of justice, which is rapidly on the incrtase, and should Hare eSCilpc the vengeance of the law, it will not be on account; of a want of money, talent, or public exertion.— | There has been a striking difference in his dis position since his examination I1U the nightof Eri day se'nnight, and subsequent close confinement. He seems now to consider the whole human race his sworn foes, and scowls upon the menials who carry his food to his cell. His case comcs under the c()ll:;idcï:tioi1 of the Lords of Justiciary on Alonday next, and according to the result of their deliberations he will soon either be recommitted for trial, or turned loose on society. Burke, taken all in all, is prohbly one of the llwst singular criminals ever cnnsigucd to the scaf- fold. He is considerably superior in education to Ids own c«s!c of hi cnnntrnnen, and is just posses- sed of so much knowledge as should make the har- rowing recollections of a series of murders drive him to the borders of despair. He is a man of re majkahly firm nerve, and, though only a few days divide him and a painful death, he strives to be perfectly calm; he even laughs, and attempts to talk over the murder of his victims with as much garrulity a" indifference as a shopkeeper would over his losses in t!'Ù(1', or: hc good bargains he has made. "BuMcthe candidly confesses that lie leds the iuil horrors of his situation he is ever caught weeping bitterly by his oJiidal pcople, (111,1 involuntary hut very heavy sig-hs escape hÜn in his eonvcisation. lie pays particular attention to the instructions of his priests, and is diligently pre paring for the awful change he js Soon to undergo. Since his conviction he has been so very communi- cative, that there can be no doubt that several of his" confessions" will be given to the world; but it will long be a subject of serious regret, if a full confession, duly authenticated, be not given to the world hcrole liis execution. Last night he was vi sited by the Sheriff, one of the Magistrates, and the Solicitor lor the mother of James Wilson, and two assistants, and precognosced for upwards of an hour. He had been duly warned that he was to undergo a strict examination, and while he stated that he harboured no vindictive feeling against Hare, he declared that "as a dying man he would tell the truth." The result of the pre cognition is, of course, known only to the gentle- men present.—Scotsman. I A TALE OF HORROR- It has been repeatedly remarked of late, that the annals of crime do not fnrnish us with a parallel to the atrocious deeds of Burke, Hare, 31acdougah and Co. The narration of the following horrible talc, the truth of every particle of which may be relied upon, will pcrhaps go far to evince that the history of France in the seventeenth century con tains one instance at least of a system of murders being regularly acted on under circumstances of atrocity as great, if not greater, than that pur-1 sued by the nefarious firm which we have just mcntioned:- In the year 1073, a midwife in Paris had, by her "uperior knowledge of her profession, ot into an extensive practice. Knowing that many of her employers were unmarried, and that consequently they "ul,! wish their delivery to be as private as possible, she conccived it would prove a good spe- culation to engage commodious premises for her self, and provide for those, whose circumstances could' afford it, the necessary accommodation at Iter own house at the timeof lying-in. The specu. lation was attended with emincnt success; llUIll- bers of females took up a temporary residence in th:s novel institution, It was observed, however, hy a (lI:tnHln who-resided directly opposite the hrJu;,e, that, llot\\ iI1.¡tàndil1g the many pregnant womell that went in to be delivered, there were comparatively few children that came out. It accordingly occurred to him, as the mOf[ probable supposition to account for this, that a number or the young innocents must have been 1\H\r,.Ic!ttl shortly after entrance into the world. ¡ Ie intimated his suspicions to several of his neigh- hours, ami the result was that they applied to a magistrate for a search warrant, under the pre tence that a quantity of .silver plate ba,l bv-en stolen. The warrant was obtained, and tho search commenced, when, to their indescribable horror, they discovered a secret place of the house, under ground, in which were deposited the bodies of no ie,s than siUy tm> ,ltildrm, Some of them were considerably decomposed but the grcat majority of them seemed to have been murdered within two or three wceks of the time at which the shocking discovery wa, made. The inhuman monster was apprehended, imprisoned, tricil and condemned on the most conclusive cvidclIce,ill conjunction with her own confession of guilt. The atrocity of her guilt produced such all impression on the publie mind, that a universal demand was made for the infliction of the punishment of death, under the most torturing of its fonns. A most excruciating mode of death was accordingly resorted to. A gibbett was erected, under which a brt? was lighted. The delinquent was then hung up in a large iron cagc in company with 10 wild cats which had been caught in the woods for the purpose. When the hcat of tbe fire had become intolembJc, the whole of the ferocious animals flew on the woman as the eause of tJlC agoni;l:ing pain they expe rienced. In about a quarter of an hour she pre seated a most shocking pectacle, but continued to live for 2t) minutes 10llger, imploring, but in vain, some of the spectators to despatch her at ollee. Refnre she expire,¡ twelve of the -at-. had died, and the other four only lived about two minutes longer. CHIMNEY SWEEPING.

CUNIIXAL LAW.-Thc object of an English cri minal trial is not, in the least, the discovery of the guilt or innocence of a prisoner. The object is a sort of comb"t betwcen the prosecutor and prisoner, conducted according to rcrain rules, of the most arbitrary character, and the public are invited merely to see whether the fight has been fair. We had a fine run yesterday." says the fox hunter. The chase was the sport of the hiiiiter-tlie trial is the sport of the lawyer.—The Jug '0 takes care that the Jurv shall not know too much, and the Jury, on certain isolated .1cts, pronounce a judgment of Guilty or Innocent, without having the slightest ground to warrant them in inferring guilt or inno- cence from anything that eoracs before them. The wit of a man could not devise any thingmore effec | tual tor destroying innocence and ff,?i It f, 6,.t (, l?,t,%t i., a?) e t I borate contrivance to prevent the discovery of the truth. The Jury nret'on!rta:i*ly guessing, inferring guilt where there IS none, and inferring innocence where is guilt, from consummate pains taken to place guilt and innocence on the same footing. When the feelings of the Jurors are interested ngaillt" particular offence, they jump to a verdict of guilty, and when their feelings are the other way, they jump to a verdict of iunocence, They. know that they are constantly mystified—that very little of the case is suffered to come before them, and hence the dreadfully urhitrary maHDer in which the fate of men is disposed of in this conlltry. Any l11an who attends to verdicts knows that there is often no connexion between the evidence and the verdict, and that a man is really found guilty of that for which lie is not tried.—Morning
