The &mod Report of Lord DUNCAN'S comm i ttee ea " the Woods and Forests sad Land Revenues oe . Its Crowe "is ready for delivery.

The management of the landed estates, &c ,is vested in his colleague, Mr. Commis sioner Goss. Mr. Commissioner (303.3 was ap pasted to his office in 1839, through the influence of the late Earl of Bessnoloom then chief commis goner, to whore daughter Mr. Commissioner Goa/ was subsequently married. The first and prominent fat which appears upon the face of this second report is, that Mr. Commis sioner Ootte is utterly and entirely ignorant of every thing appertaining to the duties he is professing to perform. MAioccnt himself—the renowned hero of the" Non mi rioordo" evidence—was infinitely more lucid in his statements than was Mr. Commissioner Gone in the course of his examinstion by this cont. mittee. We glean some specimens from the earlier portions of the commiseloner's evidence. He is asked, remember, about matters immediately under his own care, superintendence, direction, and control. --- Q.

When his evidence wu printed Mr. GORR was so ashamed of it that be wanted to strike one half of it eat, for the purpose of substituting other answers. To this, however, the chairmen objected. Mr. Gotta persisted, and it was found necessary to appeal to the House of Commons. Many of our readers will pro bably recollect a discussion which thereupon occurred towards the dose of the lest seesios. It ended in the reeppointmont of the committee, after it had made its report, in order to enable it to re-examine Mr. Goat And thereupon the honourable commissioner favoared the committee with two pages of corrections sad aerate, to which, in the printed reports, the reader is referred by Ws notes at about ever: second page. The effect of the evidence published in this second report is to estab!ish in a still strong. r p.cint of vie. the culpahle negligence which, for years = has prevailed in the department over these commissioners preside. When we recorded the, ex!racrdiury defalcation of Mr. WILLIAM Suto Karr, we supposed it to be a solitary instance. It some. ost, in this report, that defalcations have bum matters of cemmon, of almost every-day, occurrence in the Woods and Forests! Mr. Commissioner Goals speaks of them quite funnily, treats them as a capi tal joke, and excites the risibility of the committee bi referring to one of the most serious of them as having °warred when he "was four years old '--41 baby in long clothes breeding up for a whig oommissitner ship. But the Commissioners cf Audit treat the matter far more seriously than Mr. GORE. When the Commissioners of Audit were called upon to exa mine the Woods and Rotate accounts, they thought it right to report specially to the Treasury on the subject of these defalcations and arrears: We hays expesiesced considerable difficulty la the mane of oar 'gemination of these accounts. In the first place, we ' request your lordship's attention to Ow stout whiek ant entered SHORT in the book of accounts for the year 1882-3, , as " Rents continued in charge sad returned es illuiable," and which ate carried forward from year to year. It "spews' to us that these must fall under one of two conditions: either that they are desperate and illevlable or that from oevaiyea or other castes they hove been permitted to tall into arrest, bat, nevertheless, mieht, perhaps, U duly Investigated, be mow red for the public benefit. We have not space for all that the Commissioners of Audit say upon this subject. Their report is a very long one. They state that there is an enormous amount of uncollected rents under the amusing, but not very intelligible designation of "Old Supers" and " New Superb;" that the Irish quit rents " uncol lected," are returned at 88,0001. aloe; that there are " standing arrears," amounting to 18,0001. more • and that there are also " current arrears," istated at 57,0001. additionaL The nature of three arrears is necessarily very various; arid, in many cases, they are difficult to come at, but Mr. Wimon, an experienced collector of crown revenues, says that he believes " if be was author ised to employ aiprivate solicitor, instead of sending everything to be dote by the Woods and Forests, he could sac iver these arrears with greater facility." In fact, the major part of them have arisen from the in attention, negligence and ignorance of the depart ment, who are sacrificing the property of the crown and the revenue of the public every day that they remain in office. Some of the cues of defalcations and arrears witch appear upon the evidence are abso lutely monstrous. There was a Mr. WILLIAM HARRY WaiTe, a receiver of crown rents, and a large purchaser of crown property. He appears to have hew a defaulter some years ago to the tune of no less ; than 41,0001., despite the provisions of an act of per- Bement providing that no crown collector should have a balance of more than COOL in his hands at one time. Another receiver, Mr. thurrrras, in Wales, was also a large defaulter. He every year swore to his teceents before the barons of the Exchequer, and `in these accounts returned as " irreuverable" large some of mosey which he appears to have received. There is also the ace of an auctioneer, who was em ployed to mil materials belonging to the crown. lie received 3,0001., the produce of his sales, pocketed it, And soon after appeared in the Clasen.. Only last year (1848) there was a very large defalcation at Glasgow. The crown re eivers of the revenues of the archbishopric NiflillaigoW became bankrupts, having nearly 5,0001. -of *own moneys in their hands. The Commissioner, hand Forests had actually reported to par- Irsigmat,o4l7 a week or two before these failure, that the balance in the hands of these receivers was only 1271.!

This is really about as cool evidence as ever was ventured even by an ofilciaL We mast defer till another day further expaure of the abases this report exposes; bat in the mention we are bowl, on the part of the public, to tender our most gratefel thanks to Lord DUNCAN for the trouble be has taken in explaining this apparently inexhanat 'ible raise of oSdal abuse. When we consider the obstacles which the government throw in his way, —the intimidation, even, which be had to brave,—we really do feel that the public owe to that noble lord an amount of obligation which it will be long before they an adequately pay. The Fin of November has long been kept by eer l i - tain factions and fanatical people as a day of party triumph and sectarian exattatton. In England such remembrances have, Indeed, become associated rather with subjects of ridicule than with those of respect. Even the urchins in back streets treat the effigy of Our Fewxis as a toy ; and from one end of the island to the other not a shedder or a groan can in these matter-of-tact days be got up by recitals of the threadbare tale about gunpowder barrels and the dark !anthem. Bat in Ireland such reminiscences are anything but a joke. The national temper has been so thoroughly spoiled by vexatious and wanton misrule that old irritations have never had time to heal, and the wounds of remote infliction continually bleed afresh. What is still worse, there are a numerous and active fret of men, specially endowed and favoured by the state, whose business it seems expressly to be, to tear the thin skin off each cicatrice whenever it threatens to close, and who deem it their interest as well is their function to be unwearied in political ill-doing.

Mr. Butler declined receiving the money. I am hippy to inform you that Mr. Bancroft has recovered his health. Among the pselengers who go out in the Herman today is Henry Wella Esq., of Wellsgrove, bearer of derpatches to London and Paris. He is a gentleman of high reepectability, and at the head of a firm known in this city for their wealth and enterprise. At the moment of mailing this there is nothing to add. From Canada we learn that Lord Elgin's general reoeption at Toronto has been very flattering to him. The anti-annexation memorial circulating in Montreal has rest, as yet, received many . signatures. There is nothing of particular interest in the news from that quarter. Last week, a meeting was held of 120 delegates, from as many parishes in the districts of Montreal and Three Rivers, to take means for the abolition of the seignorial tenure. Several plans of commutation were proposed—and one of reform—the reduction of the rates of MU et renter to the ancient rates before the conquest. This, it is said, would be a spoliation of all who bad bought seignorial property since the present rates became recognised as lawful ; besides which the value of money was so much greater then than now, that the difference is more in name than in reality. The old rents was two sous per annum per acre. The present is usually about six sons. Toe real oppression is not in the rents, for which every purchaser makes allowance in acquiring landed property ; but in the lode et renter, a payment of one-twelfth to the seignior on the value of the pro- perty at each mutation ; so that if a man buy land for 1001., erect buildings to the amount of 1,1101., and sell, though only at the end of the year, the new buyer will have to pay the seignior for his dues as much u the worth of the land in fee-simple. A per manent committee was named to fix on the best plan. [For markets me tut page.] Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial ofilee from the governors of the West India colonies , . THE ANNUAL SOIREE OF THE LEEDS MECHANIC§ Insmuttox took place on Friday.—Viscount Mahon took the chair and addressed the meeting at mime length. The Dean of Ripon proposed the first resolution, as follows: "In proportion as the elementary education of the people increases in amount, and improves in quality, the greater will be the necessity for institutions like this, to maintain the instruction that hes been acquired, and to gratify a de. sire for a higher and more extended knowledge that will be awakened." E. Bailin, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried. R. M. Mines, E•q., moved the following sentiment :—" To impart a taste for artistic beauty, and to give familiarity with the principles on which it rests, should be one of the objects of popu lar education." Mr. Roebuck next sp.ke, and said: In acquiring knowledge, depend on it that the large mass of knowledge is acquired by iv ry individual by himself—lt is not taught him, it is learned, it is acquired. And, with respect to the class of which my hon. friend has spoken, I do not believe that the leisure which they have prepares them so well for the acquire ment of knowledge as that indu-try which is of nec. ashy the portion of the labouring man, and which he brings, in the hours which he can spare, to the acquisition of knowledge. And I prove it in this way : Alt the great sdvances of know ledge, all the great works which have been done for mankind, have not been done by the leisure class—(applause)—but hive been done by the labouring chases, those clams who have had to work ( or their livelihood, an d who, after acquir ing those habits of industry, bring those habits to the acqui sition of knowl. doe ; and using those stern habits in the race with the dilletanti, preen upon and outstrip them, bemuse he is as dilatory in his modes of pursuing knowledge as in his habits of pleasure. (Applause.) Other sentiments having been responded to, the meeting broke up at eleven o'clock, the band plying "God save the Queen." SHAKEPILA IL6 IN THE Nzw WORLD.—A corre spondent of the Liverpool Mercury says ; —" As a sign of the improving taste of our tranea•lantic brethren, we are glad to have to chronicle a rather curious shipment, made a few days ago to America, is the shape of 800 mete of the head of Shekspeare, taken from the monumental bus' of the poet in the church of B.ratford-upon-Avon, by Will Warner, the artist of that town. They are consigned to an eminent firm in New York, and being designed and got up in a very arti.tie manner, they will, we have no doubt, meet with great demand on the other aids of the water." CHILD BILLED BY ADMINISTERING LAUDANUM.— Oa Wednesday Mr. W. 8. P. Hughes held an inquest at the Swan Inn, Whittington, on the body of an infant, only seven weeks old, named Mary Ann Wilkins, the daughter of labouring people living in that pariah. On Monday th. mother was going out to wash, and therefore left the child in the care of a neighbour's daughter, but as it had been very resume the day before, and she feared that its nurse would not be able to keep it quiet, she put into the boiled bread and water which had been prepared as its food four drops of laudanum from a large eottle which had been procured from the shop of Memn. Lea and Perrins, as medicine for the ho•band, who was taking it under the prescription of Mr. Walsh. She said her sole ob;eet in putting the drops into the food was to keep the child quiet, and though the word " poison" was labelled upon the bottle, yet she professed not to know that laudanum was poiren ous, or even a dangerous drug. About eleven o'clock the child was brought to her suckle, sari it then seemed drowsy, and did not suckle properly. In the evening when she re turned home she found the child in a state of stuvr, and becoming alarmed, she brought it to Worcester, and took it to a drußobt ; be referred her to a medical man, and she called upon Mr. Walter J , •nes, surgeon, Colleg--yard, who however found that he child do milting to nave the child, and it died the next morning. The mother's Perim' con duct seemed entirely to free her from the suspicion of having had any improper motive in the administration of the lands num, and the jury in their verdict so far exculpated her, while they blamed her f r administering so deadly a drug at ill without proper medical advice.— Worcester Herald. Sum' O'BRIEN's Cerros.—William Holme died suddenly on the 27th alt., at the White Chimniee, near Lott, aged 28. The deceased was the carat. of Smith O'Brien, for which he received the government reward of 5001. --- HEARTLESS ROBBERY AT BEVERLEY.—On Sunday *vestry/ week, at the time that Mrs. Symonds, the widow of Mr. Symonds, lea of Beverley, who bad died suddenly, was attending • funeral airmail to the memory of her deceased husband, at the Walkergete Chapel, some burglars broke Into her house, and stole her own gold wedding ring, six elver tea spoon', and a Assn and • half of German silver ditto, besides rematching the house from top to bottom The cottage is situated on the Qaeea's Gate-road, about half • mile from the town; and it appears an entrance had been of tooted by forcing the front doer lock. It is sincerely to be hoped that the heartless villains who could commit a premeditated felony under such aggravated circumstances will not long evade the sevesest punishment which the lew can t, especially es it appears to, probahle that they must have been ne very great semengses to the ideality. EXPLOSION Or FIREWORKS 111 FLEET-STREET.— On Saturday an alarming ezplesion of fireworks occurred in the third firor of No. 115, Feeet-street, in the tenure of Mr. David D'Lara, lithographic printer. It appears that during the absence of Mr. D'Lara two of the apprentices were en gaged in making fireworks, and whilst one of the lids was sealing up some serpent@ • spark fell from the candle he was silos UP= the fireworks, when the whole exploded, tearing the flesh off the boy's hand and frightfully burning his race, so much so that he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. Tres et - glues of the Brigade and West of Ragland were sent f r, hut fortunately no damage was dote to the premises to moire their week:es. THE TEA PUNT.—The cultivation of the tea plant, which was undertaken by Mr. .7. Smith, near Greenfi de, Sleds Carotin.% in 1848, has so far proven highly sow steel. In the fall of 1848 about 600 plants win received from China, via London, and in December they were planted is his garden. A coosiderabls quantity of tea seed was plug d at the same time. Notwithstanding the severe winter and spriest, the plant, which were left to take care of themselves, were unharmed, and are now in a flourishing condition . Ssveral specimens of the green and block plant are in bud. The tea plant buds one year, but does not fruit till the nest. :Neat year Mr. Smith caper* to pick tea, although his greet object fur some time to some will be to inert ass the quantity of his plants. The tea seed was plan ed at • wrong season, and did not amount to anything. Mr. Smith estimates the annual ceeenemption of tea in the Ueltsd States to be 11 millions of pounds, in Europe 60 ; total, 61 millions. China produce@ ever 900 millions of pomade, of which the °Waste export only about 70 millions.

From pulpit, drum eeriniastio Beet with the flit hatted of a stick— notes of alarm are raised, and dosing bigotry is called to arms. The clergy of the anti-national church tremble at the thought of social peace. They fox for their monopoly . of privilege and pay. They have been brought up in the professional belief that if ever the laity of all persuasions come to be treated practically as equals before the law, their asosadancy must vanish and their usurpation be overthrown. And acing upon this belief, they seldom fail to sti- meats the flagging hatred and resentment, where with the descendants of the old Planter class and their followers regard the great balk of the people of the land. These also have their misgivings u to the future, and their ancient jealousies of the excluded and down-trodden many. They still resent catholic emancipation as a wrong never to be forgotten; bat they see its spirit so imperfectly carried on; and its promises me frequently falsified, that they would, for the most part, put up with the affront of 1829, ter the sake of being stilt allowed in 1849 to retain four-fifths of the patronage and power of the kingdom. But the clergy of the established church abhor the ihooght of compromise. No trace can be too short .for them. With few exceptions, they have openly and ostentatiously tendered their sympathy to the dismissed magis rates who led the Orangemen at Dolly'. Brae, and it will not be their fault if, before the sun goes down this day, another scene of carnage does not. disgrace the land. Three incumbents of parishes were amongst the majority of justices who refused even to take informa tions against their victorious friends for the blood shed on that occasion. Numbers of protestant clergy men of different dicceses have sites the dismissal of Lord RODEN subscribed a public denunciation of the government, and publicly offered the tribute of their " grateful admiration " to the offender. And. finally, at a meeting, described as numerous and influ ential, presided over by the Marquis of DOWNSHIRE, and attended by many of the landlords of the county, the most violent language, both as regards the past and the future, was uttered by dignitaries of the church and more than one of her parochial ministers. That we may not be accused of any exaggeration, we shall, at the risk of revolting the sense of Christian feel ng and of public decency, repeat a specimen of two or three atrocious diatribes : The Archdeacon of Droners was proud to second a reso lution eougratalsting the ex mui,tratts who have been made the victims of an unworthy and unprincipled policy, upon their undeserved persecution. He was the represent ative of a large parish sad the mouthpiece of • large party who abhorred the insult offered to one of the Lomita( pro tenants ot the country, by the odious government under which they lived. It hereafter a rebellion were to be waged to the confines of Ulster, not • protestant sword would be raised to pat it down; but it the rebels dared to eater that province, the Protestants would rise to a man against the popish enemy. Re called us the brethren to be of good (Auer, for that day would kindle • flame, which he trusted in Ged would never be extinguished ! _ _ _ We hardly know whether to admire most the ' philanthrophy, the patriotism, or the piety of this " venerable " and loyal man. He was almost out done by his " very reverend " associate the dean of ARMOR, who insisted that the Attempt to disgrace Lord Rodeo was as insult to every Premeteat is the kingdom; but that he wee hinted( not very well pleased with Lord Roden, bonus* he did sot think the noble lord had received the Orangemen on the 12th of July, with alt Ik. hospitality he ought ,• if the Oraagemea were to comae to his lawn, the best he kad la the house should be at their disposal. From which we may naturally infer that the zeal of the ascendant laity is but as the noble emirs "small beer," compared to the fiery stimulants that symbolise the virulence of the ascendant clergy. With still co-a free and fearless speech, a younger member of the reverend fraternity aeoorded has Protest eguimat the profitless comes/ions of late years I mode to popery; sal denounced the conduct of lIIIACCIMM reveramento in atilecting the claims of such clergymen as the Dean of Ardagh to a referment. They should say to their ralers—if you are for Gel, stand on one side; if yes are for Baal, stand ea the other side : sad as I •apr parley between the church and Rossanism. For if the protestant, of Ireland were to awatead for exist ence, &mower Me better. He did not want to draw the carnal weapon, for he was • adaleter of the repel ; bat, ma edits, he would rather meet death gloriovsly la the battle. field this pine =der a cantering disease that would slowly commas his vitality. The humane and christian demagogue by whom these incentives to party hatred and gas were addrucci to an excited auditory, was the Rev. Mr. NVltwatoz, one of the parochial clergyman of the diocese of Down and Connor. When Dr. Lao' wen recently elevated to that see we did not hesitate to express our belief of his unfitness for that . appoiai. meat. It will now be seen how far our misgivings= to the right reverend prelate's force of character me likely to be realised. If as a bishop Dr. KNOX teas. rates the public use by his clergy of language Igoe this, the public will understand pretty clearly admit manner of episcopal spirit he is of, and how far he le endued with the courage, honour, or loyalty,—to say nothing of religioas attributes—that, befit a spiritual peer. For many weeks it has been notorious that active preparations have bees making to celebrate this day by processions similar to those which led to such la mentable results en the 12th of July. The govern. ment are doubtless alive to the danger of permitting any demonstrations of this kind to take place; and orders are said to have been given to prevent them. We trust for the sake of those who administer the, law and who are responsible for the public' pesos in Ireland, as well is for the sake of that unhappy mu try, that there will be no mistake about the matter this time, but that all show of peavuoation to the catholic party will be peremptorily averted, and Ike demented dupes of clerical mondial= saved from the guilt of civil bloodshed.

The Baron de Lagoa has lost arived here, propos ing a loan of a million sterling for the conversion of the foreign debt, and has had en interview with ministers on the subject. The first excitement cawed by the news from Madrid has subsided.

The news from Gibraltar is up to the 27th October. On the 26th, urgent despatches arrived at Gibraltar Ifrom Mr. Hay, the English charge d'affaires at Morocco, to the governor and senior officers, and the consequence was, that the Janus left for Tangiers on the 27th, to protect British interests. The Arrogant left immediately afterward+ for Mogador, to protect British subjects there. All this is in consequence of the dispute between the French and the Moors. The Emperor of Morocco had acceded to all the demands of the French except one, which is, that he has refused to give up the courier concerning whom a portion of the dispute erne. The French charge d'affaires said he must here him, or proceed to ex trews measures. It is evident the French are deter mined to pick a quarrel with the Moors, and it is now almost certain that the French are determined to bombard Mogador and Tangiers, and if parable to weepy them. On the 27th the French consul and family, and a large number of Jews and Christians, arrived at Oikaltar from Tangiers. The Mors at first refused to allow the French consul at Mogador to leave, but afterwards permitted it. The cholera was raging on the African coast.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 2.—The new ministers, Messrs. Thorbecke, Van Soosbeeck, Stingier, and Pahud, took their oaths yesterday at the hand of the king. M.

The session is prorogued until the 13th. This prorogation was considered necessary in order to give the new cabinet time to prepare their programme, which is anxiously looked for AMERICA. THREE DAYS LATER. The Ooransteamer Hermann, Captain Crabtree, ar rived off Cowes yesterday morning. She left New York on the 20th October, and has brought fifty-five passengers, and ab3ut 40,000 dollars on freight. By PIM accident her French and E .glish mails were not sent to Southampton, and it was feared that they would be taken on to Bremen. The additional news brought by the Hermann ii fully detailed in the letter of our New York c wrespondint, and the gleanings from American journals that are subjoined to it. NEW YORK, OCT. 20.. By the Herman, which sails this day fur South- Inmpten, I have the pleasure to inform you that an arrival at New London (Cann.) corraboratestbe news of Sir John Franklin's safety. The iutelligenos has ex cited the greatest eaisfaction. I quote from the New London Chronicle of the 18th inst., as follows: Capt. Chapel, of the barque McLellan of this port, from Davis' Straits, whose arrival we announced yesterday morn lag, furnishes information which will at least be read with interest in the United States, and indeed in every part of the world. About the let of August, while the McLellan lay in latitude 74, longitude 72, the natives of the coast came on board the CbiefWa. an English whaleman, and gave in. formation by signs that two large ship were then lying in Prince Regent's Inlet, and had been there fast in the ice Mar sump. and being asked with regard to those en board, whether they were dead or alive, they r. pied in the same way that the crews were not "asleep" (that is, not dead), but were all well. This information was considered by , he Englishman and by Captain Chapel as indicating that the ships of Sir Joke Praaklin were clearly meant. The Englishman landed at Cape Hay, same distance from Pond's Bay, a quantity of coal and provisions, with which his ship was tandahed by ttm British government for the use of the long missing ships, if they should chance to come there, as they would boob:lied to do on their feta. n to Eng land. This is certainly the latest news from that quarter, and there is • possibility, perhaps a probability, that the commander of the unfortunate expediion and his crews are still alive. Heaven send that it may he so. The McLellan and her gallant officers and crew have reached home almost by a miracle—at any ran. have done no trader dreuastanees that entitle them to the highest credit. On the 12th of lune, the roe got " nipped" in the ice, and only escaped destruction the almost superhuman exertions and conduct of those wen in charge of her. She was so onerely injured that she leaked se es to be tiant say by the iasessest srark of nearly all hands the pumps. sad by mesas of two large metallic vamps, Obtained by Captain Chapel from the wreck of the Beh ships crushed sod to fast just 'bead of him. Tee leek wee, however, lidly remedied by thrumbed mile wader the bow, though she continued to leak until her arrival home, and was only kept .bees water by continued and an amino labour at the pumps, till she reached the dock, which, indeed, is still obliged to be continued as she lies at the wharf. The two English ships, Superior sad Lady ions, mentioned yesterday, were both last very near the McLellan. Two of the crew of the lost ships arrived is her. They ars natives of the Shetland Wands It is due to Ca7tain Chararl, his gallant officers and ship's Company, again to lay that their conduct in bringing home their vessel is demvieg of more than cowmen praise, and even with their exertions, it could not have bees doss, hut for the otos& and enduring qualities of the ship. The skill and perseverance of the officers and men were objects of admiration to the loglhatunen who witnessed thaw. The Niagara arrived lest evening. General untie faction is expressed at the small disturbance the dis missal of M. Poussin is likely to make. The Emelt seem to be taken more by . surprise than affected by rmentment. If a new minister is sent to this isoess try I have no doubt he will find our government state courteously disposed, and possibly ready to disease some of the very questions which the temper of IL ilonsein had deferred, if not prevented. It is now ramoure: 4 , on good authority, that Kr, Clayton is di spleased with the conductor Mr. Elvis's in his late interview with the Dictator of Nimes's', that is, so far as a violent intervention at band wee insinuated, but that he has avowed his determination to maintain the doctrines of Mr. Monroe. There appears to be some inommistsucyin this, but this kind of - knave is usual with polinesans ; it may or say not have meaning. In the first plies it is believed here that England an show no claim to the Mos quito moist, and neat that when she perceives what favourable condition for the world have been inanted in the contract with the American Company, she will not assert any claim to its injury.

The Wowing is a report of the proceedings of a detachment pascal court-martial, held at Liz uri on October 17, 1849, by order of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Trollop., 38th Regiment KB., commanding her Majesty's troops in Cephalonia: President: Major King, 36:h Regiment, Ist Battalion.

Witness applied to the rebels to let the son-in-law of Cavaliers Metexa, by name Dr. Z magneto, come out of the burning house. This they granted, and witness helped him to get a the premis , e. Shortly after the house was set on fire a party of armed men arrived, among whom witness think , was the prisoner. By the Court —Look well at the prisoner—was it he or sot Witness.—lt was. Witness furthermore states that the prisoner was armed with a gun and two pistol,. Yaps Agiri Metaxa states that he is priest of a small village in Coronus district. A party of armed men, among whom he saw both the prisoner and Boboti, came to hie village on the 29th of August. He believes (oat the prisoner, Teodoro Viacco, was the leader; he was armed with two pistols, two knives, and sometimes both with a large and small gun. They 'embed witness', house, and forced men to bear arms, both on the 28th and 29th of August. Heard Viaceo give an order to ring the bells of his village.

Witness believes Teodoro Vlaeco, the prisi,ner, was the leader of a band of armed men that he sew tnat day. Next day they came to his house, and he gave Viacom a cup of coffee. He WAS armed with two pistols and a gun. They took possession of witness's house, and made it into &sort of barrack. Viatica asked him for 10 doh. for his lads.

They took him with them to Valtes, where he beard the prisoner tell them to wait till the people of Vettes came down and burned the house of their mastrr, Mr. Barnet" Metaxs.

Prisoner.—Did you net write that yourself ? Witness.—No , certainly not. The prisoner being asked by the president of the court what he bad to say in his defence, states :—" I have none to make. I leave my defence to God, and throw myself on the mercy of the court . All the witnesses have been sworn in together against me. I had nothing to do with the death of the Cavaliers Metaza Capsoliverl. The Scala men did it, breams* they owed him a grudge. Dr. Momoly Pretenderei and Dr. Republica Poem offered me 800 dollars to shoot the lord high commissioner. On such and such a day they told me that the lord highcommi•sioser was ping to the convent of 8.4 n Geraaimo in July, with Mr. Pausal' and Mr. Cladan. I was to take • few young men with me, and they offered me 300 dollars to kill him, and 160 snore to kill Mr. Fycrs. Pecos added that Canada had risen, and they ought to take advantage of this opportunity to throw off the English. He added that all the people in Cephalonia had sworn to support me. Cephalonia has ruined me. If I had life I had rather trust in future to the demons of hell than to the Greeks. Out of the 70,000 inhabitants of Cephalonia at least 60,000 were concerned in the outbreak. lam not more responsible than they. The letter I gave to the authorities was given by • boy from Messrs. Republica Poets and Pretenderi. (The letter was hers translated to the court, but was not signed.) This boy told me that another boy bad written it for Dr. Pretendert, and at his dictation, as well as that of Signor Foam. I deny . positively that I hart any other documents, nor do I wish to accuse Dr. Mosnolo Pretendemi or Signor Republica Forms in pestic ular . I only wish that the court may know the real truth. " Two other documents were then shown to the prisoner, who denied all knowledge of them. The court was now closed and the palate excluded. The caurt Ageing maturely weighed and considered the 'videos", in support of the prosecutions, together with what the prisoner has urged in his Wenn*, is of opinion that be, the prisoner, Teodoro /Mono, of the village of Spiglia and district of Livato, ia the island of Cephalonia, is Guilty of the charge preferred against him, Boxroom. _ _ _ The court having found the prisoner guilty of the charge preferred agaiest hint, does now sentence him, the prisoner Teodoro `flame, Its death, at such time and pleas, and in such manner as the officer commanding the troops in the .land of Cephalonia may be pleased to direct.
