Habituated to diffipation, he had been an inmate in the King's Bench Priton, and for fome years in a gaol in the North. After being liberated from the laft-mentioned, he had the good fortune to connect himself with fome refpe&table tradetmen in Devonshire, where he might have lived happily, fecluded from thofe who formerly knew him, and acquired an honest independency; but deception was fo rooted in his nature, that he could never fake it off. He was foon deteЯted in fraudulent practices, and declared a bankrupt. His flight fucceeded; and, unfortunately, fome evil genius directed his tteps to the oncehappy cottage of poor Mary of Buttermere.

Carney was indicted at the Old Bailey for the wilful murder of his wife. It appeared that the prifoner had long ufed the deceafed in the most barbarous manner, and on the ad ult. the wounds he inflicted by beating and kicking her were fuch, in the opinion of medical men, as to occafion her death. The Jury, in a few minutes, found him Guilty, and he was executed on Monday. 17. At the Old Bailey lethions, Mr. Robert Afet was again put upon his trial, by a fresh-contructed indictment, charged with the embezzlement of the property and effects of the Bank of England. The evidence was nearly the tame as on the former trial, (tee p. 75,) waich proved that the prisoner had embezzled Exchequer Bills to an mente amount. Mr. Erikine, in behalf of Mr. Aflet, took his former ground of objection; viz. that the Exchequer Bilis embezzled had been informally fiued, and were no more than avajte paper. Mr. Justice Le Blanc laid, he would leave that point to be deter mined by all the Judges. The Jory found the prifoner Guity on the facts, and the point of law will be argued next felhons. The Hereford Journal fays, "Mrs. Read, who was triei at Gloucester in 1796, on a charge of poifoning her huiband, died lately at Southampton after acknowledging her guilt in that and another maniaction of equal atrocity.

At a Court of Bank Proprietors, it was ftated by the Governor, that confidering the flourishing fituation of the Bank, it was held advisable to pay the whole of the dividends for the laft half year, without deducting the Tax on Property, laid by an A&t of laft feflion. In anfwer to a question from a Proprietor, the Governor gave it as his opinion, that no man was bound to give in the profit on his stock in his return of income. The tax, amounting to 43,000l. being paid by the Bank, it could not be meant that the fame property fhould be charged twice over. It was intimated at the fame time, that if Aflet should elcape from criminal punishment, on the point of law, the Di. rectors would have recourfe to a civil action for a breach of truth, committed under the most aggravating circumftances.

At half paft feven His Royal Highness, accompanied by Lord Harrington, and feveral Regular and Volunteer Officers, arrived in the field. He was received by the furrounding crowd with cheers, and by the Volunteers with prefented arms.

The charge was for confpiring the death of the King, by providing arms, &c. for the Rebels, and for aiding the publication of the traitorous Manifefto. The Prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. After a retrofpe&ive view, by the Attorney-Ge neral, of the calamities refulting from infurrection, he gave an outline of the prifoner's conduct from the autumn of 1802, from which it appeared, that previous to Christmas last he had been making a tour in France, and fince his return he had affumed the name of Hewitt, and re. fided in the houfe where he was appre hended. He had taken a leale of the Malt-tores in Marthall-alley, which he made the principal depot of pikes, arms, and ammunition. He alfo bar gained for other repofitories in different parts. Mr. Tyrrel, the agent in the tranfaction of the leafes, law the prifoner at Butterfield-lane, and oblerved many fufpicious circumitances, fuch as his meeting perfons at different times, and converung with them in fecret, and fingly. He took them for coiners of bate money. Amongst the persons who visited the pri foner, were Natt, Quigley, and Dowdall, all of whom had been active characters in the late rebellion. In June and July, he was frequently feen inspecting the fa brication of pikes, the casting of bullets, and in making cartridges. On the night of the 231 July, he made his appearance, dreffed in a pompous uniform, that of a Field Officer, and affumed the rank of a General.-Dowdall, who had been also in uniform, on that night, acted as his Lieut. General.-The manufcripts of the famous Proclamation, as well as of ano ther, not printed, were found amongst the papers in the Prifoner's depot; another paper, which marked his extraordinary character, flated, that the writer poffeffed "a fanguine mind capable of repelling the intrutions of reflection; that if fuccefs was not to attend his enterprize, and that a precipice opened beneath his feet, while he stood on the brink, that fanguine principle of mind would precipitate his fall at all hazards, rather than permit him to paafe or to recoil." Several other papers of a traitorous tendency found in the prifoner's tores, were enumerated by the Attorney-General; he added, that Emmett and Dowdali, dreffed in tull res gimentals, paffed themselves in Wicklow for French officers, Emilares of Buonaparte, and spoke a jargon of French and broken Englith, while making profelytes amongst the peafantry. One of the papers, however, expreffed an opinion that they might do better without a French connection. He then concluded his peech with a repetition of entreaties to the Jury to difpofiels their minds of every preju dice, and proceeded to call his wit nelles. Several perfons identified the pri foner, and deposed to his activity in the different manufact ries: other witnelfes proved the eizures of arms, ammunition, papers, &c. in the pritoner's torehouses, and coroborated the natements of the Attorney-General. The pritoner did not make any defence.-Lord Norbury impretively recapitulated the evidence i and the Jury; without leaving the box, returned a verdict of Guilty. The pris foner, before receiving lentence, boldly avowed his treasonable actions, and exprefied in itrong terms his detestation of the exiting government; but politively duciauned having any connexion with the French Gover ment, the degrading oppretion of which, he faid, he had witneffed in every country through which hẹ had travelled. I have," laid he, " been accured of being actuated by a wish to bring about a Revolution of this Country through the means of French influence. I deny that either myfelf, or the Provifional Government, had any fuch idea in contemplation. Our own refources were fufficient to accomplish the object. As to French interpofition, it cannot be too much deprecated; and I exhort the people of Ireland to beware of fuch affittance, I urge them in the ftrongest manner to burn their houfes-nay, even the very grafs on which a Frenchman shall land. Various opportunities have occurred to me, of witheffing the mifery and defola tion they have produced in every country where they have gained an entrance, under the falacious pretences of aiding the inhabitants, who confidered themfelves in a fate of oppreffor." He was executed on the following day, In the Addrefs of the City of Dublin to His Majesty, we find the following paragraph: We have witneffed with a concern, only equalled by cur indignation, a recent attempt to revive the herors of rebellion. We lament the infatuation of thofe incorrigible traitors, whom neither an experience of the valour that fubdued, nor of the lenity that Ipared them, Las hitherto taught the folly and atrocity of their projects; who, infenfible to the blethings of your Majesty's paternal rule, are ready to exchange the mild reftraints of our excel. lent and unrivalled conhitution, for the oppreffive weight of a foreign yoke; and who, to gratify the malignant feelings of an unnatural revenge, would overwhelm their fellow-citizens in the ruins of their common country."
