Bir,set.a, Sam 27.—Tbo fetes in honour of the rignerath maimmary of Belgian independeocc commenced hem est the 23rd. Sealy that morning a royal salute from Me Wilkey -f the civic guard and peals from the bells of the valises eharehes announced the commencement of four a l e inbred.

The catafalque raised in the g ame of the nave was appropriately guarded by the weurlikd of that epoch. Between the base and the upper rine el the cenotaph an insertion of white gauze per m ina tits representation of a bier to be seen covered with a pa. Volpe, nail. and sabre, were &splits ad upon the Om Black and white Hags decorated the altar, and and docas, b. awa i t the arms of Belgium, and the dates of the k w d a y, were set up between the pillars of the choir. The E issm Malawi , . M. (lunette envoy from France, aceont- 1 by the sccratarks of legation, with all the various a of the ministerial departments, occupied the gage. Toe officers of the royal . household arranged them ▪ mar the throne. The MN. followed. The second day of the Ides opened inauspiciously. The b sg e l ill, which on Sat:inlay had presented a scorching ran aid abondanee of blue sky, wen now not merely °reread, bat daring the mousing heavy and drenching showers ap plied to forbid all expectation that the Ommegang and ether festivities could take plies. Towards naid-day, hones". the rain ceased .— The tam Ommegang is derived from two Flemish 1101416-OXI, about, and gang, which is Item the verb govi, to go. The term is used in the ism emu an the English word promesion. Any of the agracted by the sights of the week, supposing they= nem of them but the Ommegang , would return home with sa idea that Belgium was peopled wilt as nomphistiemied enichild-like a notion as soy to be feared between this sad the antipod s—a nation in the red sandstone state of onward- Wm, ...1 the inecisious author of "The Natural History of **Vestiges of Creation" would say. The following is the Mill is which the procession paned Petit Jean—Little Joho.—The youngest and pet of the family, with Outrun and slivering bib, a hopeful infant of tome 12 feet. Not being versed in the natural history of sioata, to what height this youthful scion might be expected to attain when arrived at maturity we cannot even swami... Then followed the hopeful's Uncle and ()randomness; each some 20 feet in stain!, and dreamed in the flowing powdered peruke sad costume of the time of Louis Qualms*. After thaw came the Great Giant ; • magnificent fellow arrayed in Turkish robes, whom one might have supposed the very Go- Path el the giant race but that oar eye caught others towering la the diem* far above him. Neat followed the Grand Pam of Malkin, who is indeed every inch • giant; his height we an afraid even to gum at, and his head turning from side to side an his oar rolled slowly on, drawn with some difficulty by four stout horses, made him appeir to gue with imereign contempt upon the pigsty nos he Ind cow out to have a look at. Molina seems to be re dundant in giants, for it sent forth in addition to the one a t described, a small family counting of Pau, Mamma, and three Intighters, the shortest of the latter being able comfortably to look in at a tint-floor window. These were /snowed by the noble charger, Bayard, we presume of some nifty hands or thereabouts, mounted by the four as of Arland, etch in complete armour. Two camels sue ended, ridden by Cupids, one of whom, with • pro vident eye to not catching cold, and totally obit- I liens to the laws of unity, had thrown a by no mew fresh.lookleg cotton peket handkerchief over his Mad to react him from the rain which wan slightly falling at the time.

As agricultural show was attended by the King and' Queen, accompanied by the youthful royal family. Oa Monday, the third day, at 10 o'clock, there was a grand pageant and procession of allegorical can. The fors 1 mer consisted of a " fearful combat " between St. George and the dragon, in which St George displayed undoubted confer, and the dragon proved himself an animal of wom Metal sagacity, in knowing the precise number of with the bladder and peas which should put rut mid= existence.

The greatest praise is doe to all concerned in this national pageant fir the perfect way in which the devices were carried out. It was almost a dangerous experi ment to essay: a very small thing might have turned into an object of ridicule that which the mind of every spectator will now look back upon with admiration.

THE REEISTEATIONS.—MARTLEDONE.—The lista for Peddingtos perish were revised yesterday, but no point of the slightest public interest occurred, the whole proceed ings occupying little more than half an hour. To day the lists for St. Pancras will be taken at the St. Pancras Vestry room, Camden-town, at 11 o'clock. ELECTION or Loan MAVOlL—Yeatenlay being Michaelmas-day, a common hall was held for the election of lord mayor for the ensuing year, according to ancient car tom. At 11 o'clock several aldermen, civic officer*, and members of the corporation, walked in procthsion to the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, where a sermonwas preached by the lord mayor's chaplain. On the return ofthe inemben of the corporation thry proceeded to the hustings la Guildhall, when the usual ceremonies having been gene through, the Recorder addressed the livery en the important duty they were called upon that day to ierforra—vis , the eleetion of chief magistrate for this great metropolis for the year ensuing. On a show of hands being taken, the Atria declared the majority to be in favour of Sir lames Dake, M.P., the senior alderman in rotation to the civic chair. Tide announcement having been communicated to the Court of Aldermen, it was affirmed, and Sir James Duke was declared duly elected to serve the high and important office of lord mayor of London for the ensuing year. The lord mare sleet having in • abort speech thanked his fellowciticens fee the distinguished mark of their thafidence which they had 'hewn him, resolutions of thanks were unanimously voted to Messrs. Cubitt and Hill, the late sheriffs, and to the present chief magistrate of the City, for the able and hospitable manner in which they hail fulfilled their respective offices. At the conclusion of these proceedings a Court of Alderman was held, at which some notices of motion were given, gad, after a short sitting, broke up.

THE SEIZURE OF ILLICIT 130AF.—Sir,—We ob served in your paper of Thursday an account of " a mime made by the excise on the premises of an old established soap manufacturer in the City, and as ours is the only manufactory " in the City," we fear (no names being g ives le.! the report should prove prejudicial to the character se our establishment, to which it does not apply.—DAvlD AXD WILLIAM Ginn. Soap Works, 76, Milton-street, City. GRADUATED INCOME TAB.—Nothing would be more easy than to devise teethed', not, indeed, of removing all inequalities, but of so far abating them as to reconcile the people of England to the continued imposition of the income tax. Let us, for example, and just for argument's sake,sup• „pose that • maximum (and that • moderate one—soy five per cent.) were first fixed upon ; that all incomes at and beyond a certain amount, say 2,0001. a year, contributed at tbiiimaxi. meal rats ; and that for every 2.501. a year lea, the tax ding- I alba by ens half per cent. down to 2601. ; that incomes he- Preen that and 1001. a year received • further relief of one awl shalt per cent.; and that incomes below the last amount IMO entirely exempt. We presume that the maximum of five per seat. (as this rate was so lately proposed by the fie all income) can hardly be supposed excessive for the West Bat could it be for a moment pretended that, ides sash a system (which we have give.[ merely for Blue leallises sake), though there would doubtless be some cases elfkimdskip, there would not be a nearer approximation to equity than under the present system 1 A still nearer ap proximation might be effected by fixing the maximum for ateolute property and precarious income respectively at five and four per cent. Bat we have specified particular isints simply for illustration. We are not now bound to 'hive what would be the nearest practicable approximation to equity ; but that any scale which includes • maximum and minimum would be better than no seals at all. We believe that Mr. Cobden never uttered • truer word ,than when he said, in a recent debate, that the people of England were not unreason able in this matter ; that a fair attempt to satisfy their de. mends would satisfy them ; and that for ins inevitable in equalities they would be willing to take the will to Native them for the deed.—Ediebwldi Review. PRANTASMAGOZIA. — A DOW apparatus has been constructed in the large theatre of the Royal Polytechnic Institution for the purpose of exhibiting Phantasmagoria on a scale hitherto unattempted. The disc on which the shadows are thrown is twenty-eight feet in diameter, and, consequently, the illusion is rendered more forcible by no sea of the increased sin of the objects shown. Yesterday this exhibition was thrown open to the public for the first time, and the success of the experiment was sufficiently attested by the applause and interest which the various fleeting apparitions excited in the spectators. Although it can hardly be clamed emenpt the objetes of science with which this highly popular gallery is replete, this gigantic magic lantern, to call it by ito popular name, affords another proof of the seal and amiduity, with which the directors eater for the amusement of their visitors, and especially for that of the holiday folks who may be shortly expected in town. INCREASE OF PAUPERISM AT BOLTON,—At a meet ing of the Bolton auardisas, on Wednesday, it was stated that the a nien, in that, «stained • imputation of 770516, and that in the year 1845 the 'lumber of persons receiving relief was 6,663 ; In the present year, the number was 17,1301 ponces receiving relief, sr 1 person out of every 31 in the union. A committee was empowered to endeavour to take farm land in the neighbourhood on which to employ the able-bodied paupers to spade labour. THE PROPOSED FRENCH LOAN. 70 7111 EDITOR OF llitt ELF2IOB.

Mowbray, peat, to be cornet to the Royal liid•Lothiao Yeoaunty Cavalry. IRELAND. Dumas!. Barr. 29. ' The government, it is said, have not only refused to grant stamps for the National, the new journal which had been established as sacoeseor to the Nation, but have also issued a warrant for the apprehension of a person named Fullam, the printer of the prospeo tus, who has taken the precaution of absenting him self. Fullam formerly held the post of cashier in the Nation office. A warrant also is in the hands of the police for the arrest of a man named Delany, the ex foreman of Mr. Gavan Duffy's paper, but the nature of the charge against him has not transpired. He had been, along with all the printers of the Nation, ar rested on the night of the seizure of that journal, but was subsequently set at large upon giving bail for his good behaviour. The proceedings before the Commission Court yes terday will have very little interest for the greater class of readers of the journals. They are not, how ever, withdat possessing much interest for the lawyers and the politicians. It is to be regretted that the law in both countries in a matter the gravest with which law can be called upon to deal should present such variame in positive enactment and construction. In Inland the prisoner has, it has been decided, no right to a list of witnesses and jurors previous to his trial. It is not so either in England or Scotland. This is the mnep in he .-nrreted. Nweitee such a grievance pre sents salient points on which to harangue an excited people,snd will probably prevent that wholesome err rection in which, above all things, it would be desirable that such proceedings as the present should not be wanting. That the points decided by the court were well de cided, no man who knows anything of rules of law will doubt. Mr. O'Btien had so right in law to a list of the witnesses—and perhaps it were well for ' the witnesses he had not. And as for the challenge to the array, while it is true that Roman catholics are considerable possessors of property in both divisions of Tipperary, especially the southern, yet whoever knows the state of interconnexion between families, and the sympathy which many of the junior branches of certain parties have manifested with the ultra , politics of our time—whoever knows this will say with the triers that the high sheriff exercised a wise, sound, loyal, and just discretion. THE SPECIAL COMMISSION. ARRAIGNMENT OF MR. O'BRIEN. CLONMEL, Tntautuar, Barr. 25.—This being the day appointed fur the comma .cement of the state trials, a very large number of persons &Tumbled at an early hour in the neighbourhood of the Court-house, anxiona to be present at the proceedings. The Attorney-General applied that Mr. Smith O'Brien and the other four prisoner. imitated in the same general indictment should be brought into court and called on to plead —Mr. Potter, upon tr part of Mr. O'Brien, applied for • few minutes' delay. James Orchard, Denis Tyne, and Patrick O'Donnell, and afterwards Mr. Smith O'Brien were :placed at the bar. He looked in excellent health, and appeared in much better spirits than on the occasion of hie last appearance in the same situation. When he had taken his place at the fr ant of the dock, the Clerk of the Crown was about to indict him in the usual terms, when Mr. Whireeide, (le., roes. The application he hut to make was that the prisoner ahonld not be called on to plead, and that his trial should be postpred until such time as the court might deem right and sufficient to enable him to pre pare his defence in a complete and satisfactory manner. The short question to be discussed was, whether Mr. O'Brien was entitled, under the acres of parliament now applied to Ireland in cases of high treason, toe copy of the juror' panel, and • list of the witnesses to be examined on the part of the crown. It was very extraordinary that living, r they (the people of Ireland, were said to live, under laws equal and similar to thee* of England, a prisoner tried in this coun try should be embed the advantage of a privilege which every Englishman enjoyed, and which went to the very root of the offence. In England parties tried for high trea son were allowed to have a cloy of the panel, and a list of the crown witnesses ten clear dayebefore the day appointed for the trial to take place ; and it was for the court to de cide whether Mr. 8. O'Brien should not enjoy the same ad vantages (being tried in lamed) which he would obtain as a matter of right had he been tried in England. The learned counsel drew attention to several acts of parliament—espe cially that of 17 Geo. lll.—and to authorities bearing on the point. If their lordships entertained • doubt on the subject he would respectfully call their attention to the Awls of law now generally adopted in all eases of doubt arising in courts of criminal judicature, viz., "that it should be re jected were it made sgsinst the prisoner, and be received if likely to prove favourable to his defence." The Attorney-Genera. submitted that the prisoner was not entitled to be famished with • copy of the list of jurors and witnesses before he was arraigned. It wee con ceded that at common law no such right existed. The only question was, whether there was a statute in force in Ireland entitling • prisoner to • list of witnesses or a jury panel ? The present indictment was altogether framed under the *'state of Edward. The section of Geo. HI. merely applied to a new treason, and not to the old class of treasons under the statute of Edward, and inasmuch as the present prosecution was under that statute, he con tended that the application should not be greeted. The Solicitor-General having addressed the court on the PAM, Mr. Fitzgerald replied on behalf of the prisoner. It could not be contended that Ireland was directly excepted from the statute of the 67th Geo. 111. ; it therefore devolved upon the Attorney General to prove an endure of the country by implication; and he contended that the 11th of Victoria plainly extended to Ireland the privilege required. The Lord Chieflusties said, the applleation is to poetrne the trial on the ground that the prisoner has not been furnished either with the names of the wireless, or with • copy of the panel et the jury. And it is extended that under the indictment, and receding to the statute law, the prisoner is entitled to have lists both of the wirers and the jury. The indictment contains various sonata, five, I believe, for levying war, and a sixth for compassing the death of the queen, and the overt acts of compassing the death of the queen are not one of them directed against the person or personal safety of the sovereign. The question is, what is the law of Ireland apyiltable to that ram ? The charge appears by the . nt to be manifestly founded upon the swats of Edward 111. Both worms are such as that Wants deserfbes and defines. In England, in the reign of William 111., there was • statute by which the party charged was entitled to have counsel reigned to him, to have Ave days to plead, and to have a copy of the indictment ; and by an set of parliament in Ire land in all mess of inthetneents under the statute of 26th Edward 111. the pasty was entitled to have a copy of the indictment, and five days to plead. An English act of Par liament, the 7th of Anne, enlarged those privileges to the party so charged, and gave ten days to plead, a list of the witnesses, and a copy of the pastel at the jury ; and the statute law of England has, in addition to that, entitled the party to have the overt acts charged against him esta blished by the wirers.

The Attorney-General opposed the application. He said Mead not perceive any line of distinction between the pre sent ear and the ordinary cues in which men were tried for is til offences. The Chief Justice observed that whilst the Attorney-Ge neral withheld his consent, it was out of the power of the siert to accede to the application. The Clerk of the Crowe then called over the jury panel. The jurors upon it were, for the most part, per ons of pro- perty, and were taken, some from the town of Clonmel and lee remainder from the county at large. The attendance mem* numerous-201 jurors haring answered to their singe out of a panel of 288. Mr. Fitsgersa pat in a challenge to the array, which was to the effect that the act of parliament required the clerk of the peace, within a week after the commencement of the Iletelim learner sessions, to deliver a precept to the high 'commbtas ne collectors of grand jury Nee, requiring then to make oat withi• • 1...0h • sin.. 4,6 or 1•1•••••••• e p .a1311.44 ••• serve an juries; the list es made oat to be retrain bp nest to the clerk of the penes to be laid base the justices at quarter mono= for their sigeonmes s god from the list so signed the jurors' bosh vets to be made out and delivered by the clerk of the peer tie the high-sheriff. The prisoner challenged the array apes the ground that the clerk of the pease for the county of Tipperary had norwithin the proper time, or at any time, delivered the precept to the high constable or collectors of grand jury and other ceei, nor was any jurors' book made at present pursuant to the statutable provisions, nor had the high sheriff returned the names of the jurors f romi the books of the preceding year, nor from any of the books of the county for any year. The next ground of challenge INN that the panel was returned with reference to the religion of thejurors, to his (W. S. O'Brien's) prejudice. The several panels which for three years had been, from time to time, re tained by respective sheri ff s to serve upon juries had lir "Med of 380 persons duly quilled to serve as jurors, sad M said panel not less than ono-third consisted of persons pre test** the Roman catholic nligion, two-thirds of the pro tease% and of the jurors returned, not more than one eighteenth were of the Roman catholic religion, and the residue (17-18 the) were professors of the protestant religion. The prisoner further stated that the panel had been par tially and unindifferently arrayed to injure and prejudice him upon his trial. The crown counsel then (half-past 1 o'clock) retired to their room to consider the replication to the challenge, and did not return into court until a quarter after 3, when The Attorney-General handed in a replication to the chal lenge, in which he set birth that the panel ought not to be quashed, because there had been a jurors' book prepared for tie current year for the county Tipperary, and Mame said jurors' book was still in existence, being their. in fact in the town of Clannish Oa them grounds he submitted that the challenge to the array of acid panel should not be enter tained, and that the array el said panel should be considered as having been well, equally_, and impartially made in said jury book, by the high shonff, wording to the duties of his office. The counsel for the prisoner then received permission from the court to retire for a short time, in order to consider what roinder they would make to the foregoing replica tion. On their return into mart, Sir Colman O'Loghlen stated that the prisoner's enamel had decided upon joining issue with the crown, and requested their lordships to nomi nate triers to hem the evidence and Sad a verdict on the issue. Mr. Whi,eslde suggested that the court should not nemi nate the triers from the grand jury mach—The court mold use as urn whatever for adopting the suggestion, and re commended that the two first reuse on the grand jury sholid be selected for the regebred purpose, vie.: the Len BetZend the lienCerneliue Len thei sere ether grand ( jsm C er 4 VM be selested in !treated, OR the grand that h ass g ern in the capacity of high sheriff during the previous year, it was not at all improbable but that he might be examined touch ing some of hie own official acts. Sir Colman O'Loghlen suggested that the second and third MOM on the grand jurors' par el should be taken in lies of the first and third, which course was accordingly aiegted, sad the name of the third juror in the list, die Hen. P. A. Prittisons substituted for that of Lord Suirdale. Mr. Whiteside then briefly stated the vacations which the niers had been appointed to decide. The first question was "Maker the jurors' book had been made for the current yen, pursuant to the act of parliament The second was whether the panel had been fairly and impartially arrayed between the crows and the prisoner . The learned counsel having recited the provisions of the 3 & 4 Wm. IV., chap. 91 (the substance of which is contained in the challenge made to the array above given), proceeded to contend that the October sessions mentioned in the act of 3 & 4 Wm. IV., c. 91, s. 9, were the same sessions which were mentioned in the 4th sec. of said act. If this construction was the true one he was of opinion that their lordships would decide that the Clark of the Peace should have honed his precept within one weak alter the commencement of the October sessions. This coarse the Clark of the Peace had not taken, having in fact Wood his preempt in the month of July, a course that woe altogether contrary to the act of parliament. Toe learned gentleman then contended that the jurors' book was issued in July and not in October, as the act of parliament repaired.l. P. Pietas. F•q., Clerk of the Peace, e xamined. Had bees served with a sublimes that day to pr oduce the precepts and lists ; could not produce the precepts, as the high con stable did not return them to him, but could produce the jurors' lists as revised by the magistrates; the lists were generally affixed to the precepts; the former were returned to him, the latter wen not; produced the lisp of two hero • nim, one the 12th August, 1847, the other for 1848, but it bore no date ; produced lists for other baronies, all of which were received before October ; did not issue any other septa.—To the Attorney-General : The lists were revised by W magistrates at a special session last December. The Attorney• General drew the attention of the court to the points at Mine between the crown and the prisoner's counsel which are set forth in the challenge and replication. The crown had not taken issue upon the allegation that no precept had been issued a week after the October Quarter but tthheeyy had raised an ham upon the existence of a properly .otitted jams' book, and were prepared to produce it. The learned gentleman contended that the proper time for issuing the precept was In July, and not la October. The Solicitor-Genera followed on the some side. If the sheriff get a legal juren` book, from that he should take his list. He was not to be held answerable for what high cow stables or delimiters might do. Sanwa M.

But whet we. the eat with the pmesat peel) He (Mr. Whitman) woo then in a prides to peen bored all dispute that em eighteesth pen et the preen penal cossisted of Roman catholie jurors or of IMO pares. Thus a large number of the very men who had bees eulogised by the Lord Chief Justice for the manner la wink they had discharged their duties as jurors at the last nodal commission were wrack off the present panel, as if incapable of acting as properly in this commission as they had in the ioniser one. In this instance so ler than 100 - Roman catholic" had been struck off the panel. and so very few had been retained upon it that Mr. O'Brien's right of challenge was little better than a farce. The following witnesses were then called : Henry Pedder sworn ud examined by Mr. Whiteside: 1. am the clerk of the crown for the county Tipperary. I was served with a notice to produce the jornrs' panel for the present oommissiou, but have it not in my custody.

I am perfectly acquainted with the jurors who attend here to meat in the administration of justice. I heard the jurors' panel read by Mr. Pedder to-day, and watched it closely, in order to discover the numberof Roman Wathelies upon it. As well as I could determine there were M more than 17 or 18 Roman catholic' upon it. Rudy Spain examined by Mr. Whiteside: I am a juror of this county, and have attended at. several assizes and one special commission. I have not been summoned to this special commission. I served at the last assizes, but did not serve at the two assizes which preceded them. lem a Roman catholic. The witness then deposed that the follow ing persons were Roman catholic*, and had acted as jurors at former assizes in that county:—Gregory Fitzpatrick, Jesus Hanlon, Edward Flynn. Jeremiah Trey, John Tooey, and George Thorn.—Mr. Whiteside to witness : Are you a member of any confederate club f—Chief Justice: Don't answer that question.—Witness: I am not —The Attorney-General cram examined this witness, with a view to elicit from him the rank in life and place of abode of him self and the other Roman catholic jurors he had named.

Knew Thomas Hennessy of Merles; had seen him serve upon juries. Knew Henry Welply ; knew him to be summoned, but had not met him on juries. Knew Michael Manning; had not known him to serve upon juries. Had seen Martin Quinlan uponjuries. Heard his name called upon the panel at Nenagh ; he was a Roman catholic. Had heard Nicholas Burke and Thomas Cahill called on juries; they were Ronan catholic". Knew I Joseph Hanley ; had seen him serve as a juror ; he was a Roman catholic. Knew John Ryan; had no recollection of us 'using win summoned. Anew s* mum Ryan to have eseired. He was a Roman catholic. Knew Mr. Byree and Mr. Manning. They had been called as jurors. They were Roman catholic*. Was not himself a member of any club.— Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General: Had acted him self a as grand juror, and never as a petty juror. Bdinond Murphy examined. Was a juror of the county. Had served at the assizes end special commission. Had served as a juror far 20 years. Was a Roman catholic. Was not on the present panel. Knew Daniel Murphy, of Ballymors House. He had served as a juror. He was a Roman catholic. Knew Mr. Scully, and had seen him act as a juror. He was a Roman catholic. Knew two brothers named Nicholas and John Doherty; they had acted as jurors for ten years ; they were Roman catholic*. Was not a mem her of any club.—Cross-examined : Not one of the protestant* in his neighbourhood who were usually summoned as jurors was omitted from the panel. Could not say whether the persons whose names had been called out to him were or were not upon the panel. Edmund Wm. Murphy examined.—Was a juror of the county. Had been in the habit of serving for five years as such. Served as a juror at the last commission. Was a ' Roman catholic. Mr. Wm. Murphy was his brother.—Mr. Fitzgerald said he was misinformed as to Mr. Wm. Murphy, m his name was on the panel. The witness was not cross examined. K. L. Campbell examined. Had acted as sub-sheriff for the county for six years. Had heard the names of per. son in that court called, a great many of whom bad been pat upon the panel by him. Some were petty,jurors, some mere jurors at quarter sessions, some were jurors at the assizes, some served in the record court, many of them were 7a able men with a stake in the county, and who ought IL te c t m the jury. Mr. Whiteside, Q C., then asked the witness whether it was a fair return to put only 15 Roman catholic' on the panel out of a list of 288 persons qualified to serve as The Lord Chief Justice said, that the question could not be answered ; it was a mere matter of opinion; and the learned gentleman could not lay a matter of opinion before the triers, who were sworn to examine facts. Several attempts were made by Mr. Whiteside to put the same question in different firms, but they were over ruled by the court, or resisted by the attorney and solicitor generals. Mr. Whiteside contended that he had a right to ask a question having reference to a matter of fact which con stituted the ground of the challenge to the array. Chief Justice Doherty said that the question was really incomprehensible to him. He had never heard it laid down that a jury should be selected in any proportion. An honest and conscientious juryman would never investigate the him. religion of the person who was placed on his trial be- for Mr. Whiteside, Q C., said he subscribed entirely to the doctrine enunciated by his lordship, that the jury should not be saluted in any " proportion." He, too, held that no man in particular should be selected, but a fair panel re turned. Justice Moore observed that the learned counsel was requiring the witness to give an opinion, not to prove • Let. Mr. Whiteside, Q.C. (to witness).—What was the smallest number of Roman catholic. upon any panel which you re turned ?—The Solicitor-Oenenl objected to the question.— Mr. Whiteside : Have you ever returned so small a number as twenty Roman catholic. ?—Witness: I cannot state it as a matter of pontive fact. If I were to see the panel I would be able to tell you.—The panel was handed to witness, and he proceeded to investigate it. John Lacy, Rm., ezunined.—Hid acted u a juror of that county for twenty years. Had not been summoned on the present panel. Was • Roman catholic. Knew Ned Murphy ; had heard his name called. Knew Patrick Quin. He had served as • juror. He was a Roman catholic. Knew Ned Murphy. He had served. Was a Roman catholic. Knew Mr. King and Mr. Clancy. Had sea them serve. They were Roman catholic.. The witness, in reply to questions of a similar nature, stated that he had seen gentlemen, who were not on the panel, serve on juries.— Cross-examined by the AGeneral : Was an alderman of the corporation. An appl ttorney- ication was made to Mr. Howley, the aseistant-barrister, on the part of the aldermen and town council, to be »Herd from the necessity of serviette upon ses sions juries. Could not tell what Mr. Howley told the she riff in reference to the matter, for he summoned him and other members of the town council after that application. Had heard the present panel called over. They were re spectable men, of station and property.—To Mr. Fitzgerald : Might have heard the names of persons called on the present panel which were new to him. Mr. Campbell was then re-examined by Mr. Whiteside— There were 331 jurors summoned on the last special commis. eion, and upon tut panel there were 34 Roman catholic*. It would take a long time to ascertain how many of these Roman catholies were on that oungsinion who were not upon the panel of the present commission, David Clancy examined : I am • juror of this county, and have been summoned to serve on juries for the last 12 years ; I was summoned to the last special commission, but not in the present ens. lam a Roman catholic —To the Attorney. General : I was fined for sca-attendanes at the last special cominiseion, but I now swear that I was present at it, and ready to serve when called en. I pleaded my being • town councillor of the Cloamel corporation, to escape from the fine. The Chief Justice.—Have you say evidence to connect the sheriff with any corrupt practice with respect to the con atitwion of the panel? It ss • very serious charge, and should not be lightly made. Mr. Whiteside.—My; Lord, I should be sorry to charge any gentleman bearing his name with such an offence, but I must act in camping°e with my instructions, and as I think right. Mr. Kirwan was then recalled and examined by Mr Whiteside : I have just perused the jury panel of the 18th July, 1848. Upon that panel there wen 122 names, of which 61 were Boman catholke. I also examined the Clon. mel panel of the 10th Muth, 18413, there were 194 names upon it, of which 47 were Roman catholic.. On the present panel there were but 17 or 18 Roman catholic* for the entire county.—Creasordrailled : I speak these matters from my own knowledge. I am acquainted with the religious persuasion of almost every one of these jurors. The Attorney-General submitted there was no evidence to go before the triers, and called upon the court to adjudicate summarily upon the queothaa. The Chief Judaea Mad that the court was not prepared to deal summarily with the question, bat felt themselves bound to allow the evihmes to go before the jury. Mr. Kirwan was here real4d, at the JoAnne of the Hon. Mr. O'Callaghan ' one of the triers, who asked him whether it had been the preettee is that county for the high sheriff to make a difference in the panel he summoned for a special commission, as compared with those aade out for the ordi nary assizes T—Witnees: I have observed that it has been his habit to make a Marines between the two. Richard Penneiletbur, Dm, High Sheriff, county Tippe rary, was then ewers, ash examined by the Attorney. General : I made as alteration in the present panel after I received it from the rub-sheriff; I did so because I believed there were persons upon it who could, ill afford the expense tof coming to Claman and living there at their own coat during the commission. I did not strike of any persons on account of their religious persuasions. I was not influenced by any considerations whatever to return a panel that was calculated to prejadiee the prisoner; had no consultation whatever with any pen= connected with the crown directly or indirectly, relative to the arrangement of this panel.— Crowexamined by Mr. linitetide I did not prepare this panel myself. It wee the sub-sheriff Mr. Going, who made it, end I am responsible for it. When he drew it out he brought it to me. I gave him directions as to how, he should prepare it. I cannot my how many Roman catholic' are upon it. The suboberiff brought him a rough copy of the panel which had been drawn out by the clerk. Did not know that there were only 18 Roman catholic. upon the panel. Was surprised to hear it —Mr. Whiteside: How many hundred Roman catholic* and men of substance are in the county ? Witness. 1 cannot tell.—Mr. Whiteside : Do you know Mr. Doherty and Mr. Murphy'? Witness . Yee, by character. I have summoned one Mr. Murphy.—Mr. Whiteside: Areithew gentlemen men of snthtsnce ? Witness: I would rather 'twosomes . the question. 8, W. Going, Seq., sub-sheriff, examised : After the receipt of the precept he prepared a draft of the names of persons to set as j urors, which he submitted to Kr. Penne trther, who s tr uck off the names of several of the lower climes, but he did not leave out the name of a single iadivl dad whom he considered respectable. In the formation of that panel he had no communication with the °Seen of the crown, nor had he received directions, i'irectly or indirectly, from any ol the law officers. Prepared the draft of • juror's book to the best .if ha skill and judgment. —Cross e:stained : Had not the draft of the panel with him. Got the submits that morning to produce the draft when he wss six miler away from his bowie. Was an attor ney : his office was at Littleton, about 17 or 18 miles away. Was ass:sted by a Mr. (Jason, who heed with his, and checked the names to ascertain that the panel corresponded with the jurors' books. Could no: tell how many names were on the jurors' book. There were several names on it of perrms who could not write their own names. There were several names which had been omitted at the instance of the persons themselves. DA not leave off any one because he was a Homan catholic. Did make a difference in the cocstruction of the panel. He always did so at special nomad .ions. At the matzes he summoned only one-hell of the riding, while he summoned the whole county at special commissions, which enabled him to leave off • great number of names, which he put upon the panel when he summoned only half of the riding. There might be the omi.sion of Emma cl thOHC nerves. but on his oath they were not left off for their religion; three Elman catholic gentlemen of respeciahilicy had sent apologies and were left off the jury ; could not tell how many Roman catholies were on the panel. The Lord Chief Justice then adarmed the jury of triers at considerable length, but swing to the lateness of the hour (seven o'clock) at which the charge was delivered, we are unable to furnish a report of his observations. He reviewed and commented upon the whole of the evidence adduced, and in doing so stated his opinion that there was nothing in any part of it which in the &lighten respect proved that corruption or partiality had been evinced either by the High Sheriff or the Sub.sheriff in the discharge of their several duties, in relation to the preparation of the panel. The jury found against the challenge upon the second question, as they lad already done upon the firs'. The court was then adjourned to ten o'clock on the following morning. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. Si tcroE BY A REJECTED LOVER —An inquest was held at Manchester, on Thursday, on a young man named John Ashmore, who had committed suicide under circum stances arising out of disappointment in a matrimonial alliance. The deceased was a factory operative, and hail conceived an attachment for a young women working in the same factory, named Isabella Hudson . They wore on the point 01 marriage, when some dispute broke off the match. On the 21st inst. he had an interview with her at the factory, and told het he would destroy himself unless she consented to receive kis addreaes again. He said he should write to her a letter in Mae ink, and bearing three bLselt seal, intimating the time when he should put his threat into execution. The young woman remonstra•ed with him, but was firm in re'isiog his condition., and on the following` morning the received a letter of the description mentioned, stating that he would poison himself, and that his body would be found in one of the railway arches. It appears thst be put his threat into execution so far as taking the poison was cancsrned, but after ening during Friday night out of doors, returned home. He told his father that he bad taken poison. but refused to take en emetic. He wu sub. sequently removed to the infirmary, where he died on Tues day. A verdict of insanity was returned. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A POOR-RATE AND Tax COL LECTOII.—The examination of Thomas Curtis, late collector of rates for the overseers of Salford, who lately absconded to America, and was robbed of his ill-Lequired wealth there, and whose ease, as a supposed honest English farmer emigrant, etched sympathy there, toed: place before the ma gistrates of Salford on Thursday evening. Mr. Charles (lib son, town clerk -I Saloord, appeared for the overseers, and stating his cos-, said Mr. Curtis was engaged in 1841; sod April last, in consequence of an inquiry by the overseers into the conduct of their collectors, who were thought not to be sufficiently active in the di , charge of their duties, it was discovered that Curtis had .I,V-red into business es a publican. Some remarks were made to him upon the incompatibility of the two businesses he bad to attend to, and he handed in his resignation. A person named Samoa was appointed to struted him, but Curtis had taken his collecting books to his own house on the plea that he had not made them up, but would do aby the dote (24th June), sibsn his notice expired. After subtequen , ly giving up two of these books he absconded, and the third, containing the collections on the last rate, was afterwards obtained from his servant. The charge upon which he would now be proceeded against was one where he had called on Mr. Hall's agent on the 30th June, and whet he was no longer the sery int of the overseers, a nd obtained 151. from him for rates—a charge which, if sustained, would resolve itself Into one of false pretence.—Mr. R. B. B. Cab bett, for the prisoner, contended that the misdemeanor had been compromised by the overseers having obtained the 6 amount of his defalcations from his sureties ; and that as to the particular item of 151 , though it was collected after the 24th June, yet it was whilst be still retained his books, and was virtually collector.—Mr. Trafford, the megiatrate, was of opinion that no misdemeanor could be compromised, and i after adjourning the examination till yesterday morning, that the depositions might be reduced to writing, committed • the prisoner for trial. . _ --- WARNING TO PRI N TERS. — A t the petty sessions for the borough of Braiford held on Wednesday, n printer of that town, named John Parkinson, was heard on an infor mation filed against him in the name of the Attorney• General, for having, in the tconth of June Put, print-d &certain papa without having inserted on the face of it his name and plane of abode. Copies of the document were produced. It was a series of ehartikt dogrel verses calculated to excite to acts of violence against some members of the polies force.

COMMITTAL OF A QUACK DOCTOR FOR MAN eL&COIITEB..—An old man, named Thomas Whitehead, who has foe many years been imposing upon the ignorant and the credulous in Sheffield and the vicinity, by pretended skill in surgery, has been com mitted for manslaughter, in causing the death of a young man, named George Taylor, slim George Booth, aged 19, a razor grinder. At the inquest on the body, it appeared that some months ago the deceased became afflicted with pain in his left arm, and gained admission on the books of the Shef field Dispensary as a patient. The visiting surgeon discovered a small tumour connected with the covering of the bone, and prescribed leeches and fomentation No danger was appro. heeded, but the case was expected to be chronic. Three weeks or a month afterwards Taylor discontinued his atten denim at the dispensary, and put himself under the treatment of Whitehead. who said it had been miktreated at the dispensary. He pulled off some loose skin that had been raised by poulticing and ordered ointment to the wound, s. to bring it to geed." A witne's thus describes what took place at one of deceased's visits to the privner 4, On the following Saturday I was present when Whitehead again dressed the wound. It appeared very bad. He got a pair of scissors and began cutting the flesh round the outside of the rim of the wound. He was cutting the bad flesh off. The deceased cried out much. His mother had cone out, having first asked me to go in, because she could not bear to stay. When Whitehead had cut round the edge of the wound a piece of the fleshy rim, as large as my fist, fell off upon the floor. It appeared putrifiect. Whitehead then took his atissors, the point of which ho put into the wound down to the bone, and prised bits off. This continued about ten minutes. When he had done that, be told him he MUM go into the infirmary directly and have his arm taken off, or else it would kill him very soon." On that day, the 19th of August, the sufferer was received into the Sheffield Infir mary. Everything which could he dune was done, tint Taylor died on Friday, the 22ud inst. After the coroner had summed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaugto,r against Thomas Whitehead, and he was conveyed to York Castle, by virtue of the coroner's warrant, to take his trial at the gaol delivery in December.
