SUPREME COURTI—The trial (if Louisa Whitby,

, an unmarried woman, for the murder of her infant child,

, came on on the 9th inst", The trial lasted the whole day. when the Jury returned a verdict of guilty of con-

. sealing the birth. The counsel for the prisoner having

urged some legal objections, she was remtrpded until Monday, when the verdict was moved to bcii's'ct‘aside; what constituted the offence, in the words oftlie Statute was “by secret burying or otherwise disposing of the dead body of the child, endeavour to conceal the birth tliereofz” and this, it was contended, was not berne out _by the evidence. After argument, the Court sustained the objection, and after a feeling admonition from title Judge, the prisoner was dismissed from the bar.

vious the deceased had purchased, at the shop oer. '1‘. Desbrisay, Druggist, a quantity of white arsenic, and on 'being questioned as to whatshe was going to do with it, said she was going to poison a fox, which was troublesome. r Between ten and eleven o‘clock, the deceased, appa- rently in good spiritsrand in her usual health, retired to "her bed room, taking with her a little milk in a tea cup. Soon afterwards she was heard to vomit, but this at first attracted little attention. Her sickness, however, becoming more violent, the family became alarmed, and Dr. Hobkirk was sent for, but before he arrived, she had expired. Upon a post martrm examination by Dr. Hob. ‘kirk,thc following morning, the stomach and bowels were found to contain a large quantity of arsenic and .curdled milk; the other viscera were in a sound and heal- thy state; and she was found three or four weeks ad- vanced in pregnancy.

On Ear arrival here she put up at the Wellington Hotel, and it soon-appeared that she had no relations or connections in the Island whatever. For the last fortnight she had (resided at Mr. John Costin’s, by whom and by the fami- :ly she was considered to be a respectable young woman. After her decease, all the money found in her possession was two British sixpences and a few Coppers, although I she had previously stated to some of Mr. Cosiin’s family that she had Twenty Pounds in her trunk. Her stock ofappiirel was also very scanty, although she always ap- peared genteely dressed, an from her appearance, she was evidentl something above the common rank. The exposure which must snon' have taken place of her flir- tlorri and destitute condition, preying upon a mind, not rhaps of the firmest mould, we have 'no doubt induced ier to commit the rash act of which she has been guilty. Her age, she had been heard to say, was nineteen.

On Thursday the 9th inst. fourteen Sheep, (he property of L. C. Worthy, Esq, headof the Hills- bomugh, were found dead in one of his fields.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE COLONIAL HERALD.

Sir—Although onlya sojousner in this town, I feel for the happiness ofyourcommnniiy—~and as I do, I can- not loolt around and view the numberless bands of loose and disorderly children in your streets, without regret and astonishment. This, I have been informed, arises from the want of poor schools, or some efficient system ofeducation in this Island, calculated to impart to those poor beings the rudiments ofan education which, when acquired, would lead them to seek better things. Edu- cation has always been looked upon in civilized states as the first road to~happiness. It is that which forms the youthful mind. No place or countw that I have ever travelled haveI seen without some institution for the instructionpfthe poor—thisalone excepted.

I would beg to introduce to your”notice a system which, if adopted, would no doubt prosper as well here as it has done in other countries—one that would afford the poor equally as good a chance to receive the great benefits arising from education,‘ as-it would the rich and more opulent. This would-be done by classifying your schools and dividing them into castes—that is to say,

mediate one for those who cannot afford the expense of going to the highei‘ caste; and a third or lower caste, whol- ly fiir the instruction of the poor. The first should be supported by those who,would send their children there, and by them alone, and not by government. And as those who would send theirs to this class or caste should be able to pay their schooling at such place, so the teachers would be fully recompensed for their services. The intermediate caste would be schools at moderate charges, for those who could afford to pay something for the in- struction oftheirs; the master of which .would. receive some compensation from government, which, With what they would receive from their scholars, would compen- sate them for their services. The third or lowest caste should be for the instruction ofthose poor persons whose parents could afford to pay nothing for their schooling; the masters of which should be compensated for their services' as teachers to «poor one - .

merit. Then would the aristocracy be.wliolly instructed in a separate school from that ofihe plebeians, which is the only way to preserve that branch pure. 'Then would the mechanics’ children receive their education as they wished, either (if able to pay) in the first caste, or, if not, in the second or intermediate caste. Then would the poor be taught to knowlheir rights by receiving an edu- cation at the expense of the public; and, no doubt, after having received such an education, they would make a diligent and useful society and be a credit to your coun-

yAny further information, as to the management ofsuch schools, that may be required, while I remain here, I would willingly impart.

Remaining yours, &c.

The Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases

vofvevery form' and Idescii tion. Their first operation is

to' loosen from the coats o the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and erudities constantly 5 around them; and to remove the hardened {meow collect in the convolusions ofthe small intestines. r medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave, sue]! collected masses behind as to produce habitual costi e- ness, with all its train of evils,or sudden diarrhoea, wyth its imminent dangers. This fact is well known t’é all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death: and hence the prejudice of these_Well in- formed men against quack medicines—Lei medicines pre- ared and heralded to the public by ign'orant persfms. Phe second effect ofthe Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. 1 The blood,which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by Tood coming from a, clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. . Mofi‘at’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been tho- roughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitatiou‘ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness, Ill- temper, Anxiety, Langour and‘ Melancholy, Castiveness, Diarhcea, Cholera,. Fevers of all Okinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma. and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptivo complaints, sallow, cloudy and other diagreeable (-om-‘ lexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Coldst'and nfluenza,a~nd various other complaints which afflict the human frame. In Fever and Ague, articulai‘ly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successful; so much so that in the Fever and Ague Districts, Physici- ans a’lmost'universally prescribe them. ' _' ' All that Mr. Mofi‘at requires of his patients is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by anything that he himself may say in their favor, that he ho es to gain credit. It is alone by the results ofa fair trial.
