same time desiring the little boy to conduct the woman who had to look (or something in them. She rose softly from her bed followed the pedler's wife, without being heard, and having beckoned the child out of the room, locked the robber up in the chamber. She then desired the child to run to the viliage, to apprize his father, and desire him to bring assistance. The child did not loose an instant; but by an inconceivable fatality, met on the road the pedler, who had left the church, no doubt, to join his wife. Having asked the child where he was going, the latter answered ingenioutly he was going to seek his

tather, as an attempt was inaae to rob them. The pedler took the cLild by the hand, and said it would be unnecessary, and that he would himselt protect his mother. They returned to the farm where the farmer's wife was shut up; they knocked at the door, but this woman not recognizing the voice ot her husband obstinately refused to open it; the pedler made vain efforts to induce her to do it, and unable to attain his end, threatened to cut the child's throat, if she did not instantly decide upon it. Furious at not being able to prevail upon her, he executed the horrible threat, and killed the child, almost under the eyes of its moth, er, who heard without being able to give succor the cries and last sighs of her son. After having committed this useless crime, he endeavored to penetrate into the house to save his wife; time pressed, they might each moment return from mass, and he could not succeed in getting admission but by mounting on the roof and descending down the chimney. During all this time lie exhausted his rage in menaces and imprecations against the farmer's wife, who, almost fainting saw nothing to deliver her from certain death. This wretch had already got into the chimney, and was about to enter into the chamber, when the farmer's wife, collecting all her force, drew, by sudden inspiration, the pailliasse of her bed to the edge of the hearth, and there set it on fire. The smoke in a few minutes enveloped the assassin, who not being able to re-ascend, very soon fell into the fire half suffocated. The courageous farmer's wife lost not her presence of mind, but struck him several blows with the poker, which put him beyond the chance of recovering his senses. Finally, exhausted with fatigues and mental agony, she fcil dying on the carpet of her chamber, and remained in this situation till the moment when the farmer and his 6crvants returned

from church to be witnesses of this horrible occurrence. The dead body of the child Pinaud, at the gate of the farm-house was the first spectacle that struck the unhappy father. They then immediately forced open the gates, and after having recalled to life the farmer's wife, they seized the two culprit, who were delivered up tojustice. It is believedthe pedlar will survive his wounds, and be able to receive the punishment due to his crimes. The two assassins will be immediately bro't before the Court ot Assize of the department, where this affair is in preparation for trail, which excites the geitest interest throughout the whole country. A magnificent and extensive River, coursing through the most beautiful and productive part of AVw South Wales, has been recently discovered in the interior of that colony. The advantages to be derived from the facilities offered by such a source of communication are incalculable. It has been uniformly believed, from the first colonization of New Holland that there were no rivers of magnitude in the inteiior, and that the wealth and commerce of the colony would have been from the want of such conductors, altogether confined to its coasts. Chance, however, has accidentally enecred what the most acttive industry has searched for in vain for a series of years. Ch. Times. A FEMALE ADVOCATE. The London papers contain the case, tried in July last at the Cornwall assizes, of Richard Gurney against Mary Ann Tucker, for a libellous publication in the West Briton newspaper, in which the defendant plead her own cause,, as follows : Mr. Serjeant Pell opened the case for the prosecution, and called Mr. Budd, the proprietor and Editor of the West Briton, tr prove the publication. Mr. Budd stated, that the first letter which Miss Tucker sent he refused to insert, conceiving it to be improper, but on her authorising him to make such alterations as he pleased, he remoulded the letter. The letter, as it afterwards stood, met with Miss Tucker's approbation. On his cross-examination by Miss Tucker he said that he had given up the original letters under some sort of pledge from capt. Woodbridge, the brother- ' in-law of the prosecutor, but not from the prosecutor himself, that Miss Tucker should not be pi osecuted for any thing but what was actually printed, and that she should have the full benefit of the alterations which he had made. The lady now rose, observing, that she stood there with reverence but without fear, Fear, in
