Robertson, just produced at this establishment under the title of A Dream in Venire, is an extravaganza designed with the special purpose of exhibiting in several characters each of the artists who make up the limited but efficient (because versatile) company, of which the proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, fonn one half—the other moiety consisting of Mr. John Parry and Miss Susan Calton. The familiar device of a dream affords oppor tunity for some strongly contrasted situations, rapid changes of locale, and a supposititious advance of two centuries, nilinitting of various kinds of queer combina tions and antitheses, from which author and artists draw abundance of amusement for the entertain ment of their audience. The quartet of actors and actresses are first introduced in their own person alities with the exception of Milts (Talton, who is styled Mue:Carbonell—discussing what subject to choose for their next novelty. Mr. Reed is a sufferer from neuralgia, and Mr. John Parry suggests a remedy, including, as an in gredient,Venice turpentine. As "great events from little cause.; spring," the mere mention of the magic word Venice results in a oletennination to visit that romantic spot in search of materials for the projected entertainment. We arc at once transported from the opening scene to the locality determined on, where the characters appear in a gondola. On this new scene Mr. John Parry represents three several waiters—ltalian, German, and French—besides a Polish count with a genius far swindling and a tendency to kleptomania. Mr. Reed assumes the character of Mr, Faigue, an oddity who is constantly beginning to relate anecdotes which lie never finishes; and a betting man, driven abroad by an overdrawn balance at his bankers. Mrs. Reed becomes Mrs. Ssnnisole, a genial old lady ; and then Miss Lavinia Sage, M.D., travelling with a lackadaisi cal brother, of the genus spooney—a part assigned to Mr, John Parry. After :al these transformations Mr. Reed returns to his own identity, and his neuralgia—Mr. Parry's remedy for which, a hasheesh pill, produces a con. ilition of hallucination leading to a dream, which justifies the title of the piece. The scene now represents the l'iazzetta, and the visionary beholds—and of course the audience with him —a venerable doge, represented by Mr. John Parry, and personifications of Venice rind the Adriatic, by Mrs. Reed and Miss Gallen. A quarrel with the Doge, a duel, imprisonment, and the supposed lapse of 200 years, bring us to the year 2067, when Mr. Reed again meets Mrs. Reed, who on the disappearance of her husband is re•married to Mr. John Parry, now elevated to the position of a cabinet minister. Absurd alterations in dress and fashions are shown, and much grotesque fun is carried on until Mr. Reed awakes from his dream, and the piece is brought to a conclusion. All the four artists con cerned exert themselves most successfully in their several assumptions—Mrs. Reed being particularly happy in the part of Mrs. Sminisole, the benevolent old lady. Of Mr John Parry it is impossible to speak in too high terms, both as to the vers►tility of his powers and the finish or his acting in the many parts that he assumes. His imper sonations rise far above burlesque, and belong to the highest order of refined caricature. In the most opposite characters, as in those of the foreign swindler and the young simpleton, by a few minute but subtle touches ho gives expression and reality to an exquisite sense of humour as far beyond the coarseness of the generality of modern burlesque as real wit is above ribaldry. Of course, as all the artists concerned—three of them especially —are vocalists, the piece is plentifully interspersed with music, consisting of snatches of familiar opera airs and popular tunes, mingled with that incongruity which is a usual fen. ture of burlesque. The piece has also the advantage of two most charmingly-painted scenes—the Rialto, by Mr. O'Connor, and the Pierrette from the Dogana, by Mr. Telhin—exquisite pictures, such as those by which Stan field used to elevate scene-painting to the rank of the fine arts. The last-named scene is especially remarkable, not only for its sunny brightness and beauty of detail, but also for the marvellous effect of space which the artist has obtained from a few feet of canvass. With all these merits and attractions, A Dream in Venice can scarcely fail to prove a profitable venture for the Gallery of Illus tration. SETTLEMENT OF THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY DISPUTE. The dispute between the engine drivers and fire men of the Brighton Railway and their employers has happily been settled. This morning the traffic was re sumed as usual, and the inconvenience to which the public travelling on the company's line have had to submit during the lAA two days was at an end. At a lute hour ou Tuesday night the committee of Brighton drivers, who were sitting there during the day, Caine to the conclusion to commence work twain on the terms offered by the directors. Their tendency towards this step had been rumoured in the course of the evening, and some of the oldest drivers had visited the Brighton station, and had thrown out hints that a settlement was desired. The officials, however, who were on duty in the station conducting the traffic, let it be understood that no compromise could come from them, and eventually a deputation of the drivers requested Mr. Craven, the locomotive superintendent, to meet the men. He did so, and they then agreed to go to work yesterday morning on the terms offered by the directors. It was past one o'clock yesterday morning before the meeting of the men finally broke up, and they seemed perfectly satisfied with the conclusion at which they had arrived. Yesterday morning things went on as usual at the Brighton end of the line. The customary notices were fixed in the locomotive sheds " potting" the men to the different trains. These dispositions of the superintendents were abided by, and the trains ran regularly through the day. During the forenoon a written notice was posted in the station to the effect that the traffic was resumed according to the time.f.able3, and that trains would run as before the " turn-out." Even the traffic on the branches was got into time-table order:in the course of the afternoon. A notice. emanating from the Engine-drivers and Firemen's United Society, sitting in London, was issued List evening, stating that the strike was virtually at an end ; that the only point at issue between the men and the directors—viz., the conditions on which the men should receive their promotion—had been arranged by the authorities agreeing that if any men are passed over, they will have the right to appeal to the hoard of directors, and their claims will be duly considered- The men ask no more than this, and the directors having conceded every other point, they have resolved to trust themselves to the upright dealing of gentlemen with whom they have no especial quarrel, and hope that their future rela tions may be both amicable and satisfactory. A notice issued by the traffic manager of the company last night states that all the trains to and from London and Brighton, as well as those on all the coast lines and branches between Pertsmooth and Hastings, Horsham, Guildford, and Tunbridge Wells, had been running yes terday as usual: and that this morning it is intended to I resume the ordinary service, as per time-tables, over the whole suburban system between London-bridge, Victoria, the Crystal Palace, Croydon, Epsom, Leatherhead, Dorking, and the South London line. TRINITY HALL.—CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 27.—The ex unination for the open exhibitions at Trinity Hall will begin on the 2nd of April, and last till April 5 .

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1867. THE PARIS EXHIBITION. (now on MCIAL oownszownre.) Wonders have been wrought during the put week in the building and in the park. When I last wrote the decoration of the main avenue had not been ' commenced, and the French department was in al state of torpor. It is still the most backward part of the Exhibition. Barely half of the French goods were in the building on the 20th. But now the great iron blind that closes the main entrance is drawn down, and the main avenue is wholly given up to the decorators and to the builders of trophies. The nimble, quick-witted, artistic French workmen are contriving columns of graceful proportions in woodwork. The stained glass windows are being set up with magical quickness. The moulders and painters and plasterers alter the aspect of this the main thoroughfare almost every hour. The roof Is effectively picked out in red and white. The first exhibitor on the line of this main avenue was Min ton, with some brilliant and massive samples of the Majolica and Palissy ware, which brought this house so much honour and profit in 1856. The transformation which the main avenue of the park leading from the chief entrance to the Pont d'Jena has undergone in a week is equally astonishing. About the Emperor's tent parterres have been sud denly raised and fine shrubs have been planted. Two eagles of colossal proportions guard the steps. The English testing house, or cottage, opposite, is in strange contrast to the eastern form and colour of the imperial pavilion. This English cottage, however, is a most interesting and valuable little exhibition in itself. I may add to the information I have already given respecting it that throughout the Exhibition period experiments in heating, light ing, and cooking will be incessantly carried on within it. In front of it is a row of plinths, upon which noble samples of Minton's ware are placed, and make a gay effect. These plinths were con trived and perfected almost in an hour. Half a dozen packing cases were tilled and turned over, and then a skilful plasterer covered them, so that they have now the appearance of solid, shapely stone. Behind the cottage an exquisitely beautiful terra-cotta building is in rapid course of erection over the English boiler-home. It is impossible to conceive anything lighter or more graceful than the spiral columns that support the roof, and make an open corridor whence visitors will be able to seethe ', boilers. Every part of this house in terra-cotta is, sharply and most delicately moulded. Never were boilers so elegantly housed before. The terra-cotta work is by Blanchard, of Blackfriars. Among the new British erections in the park are some soldiers' model barracks, stables, and mess-room, and a scaffolding 150 feet in height, on the summit of which a lanthorn with electric light is be to put up by the Trinity House. In the English section of the building there is remarkable progress every day. First and foremost are the printers, publishers, and collectors of books and papers. The South Kensington authorities have employed the Rev. Mr. Brookfield and Mr. Charles Collins to make a complete collection of the perio dical literature and books published in 1866. The collection is now set out in the British gallery, and it makes a wonderful show. The newr papers alone fill four broad alcoves. The books pnl lished in the year exceed 5,000 in number. In th collection there will be the first or second volume ~ f the Times, by which the foreigner will get an idea of the pro gress of periodical literature in England. Theeol lection includes a complete series of specimens of parliamentary printing • in short, samples of every kind of publication thr ough which the government communicates information to the public. This compartment will discover to the world the prodi gious mental activity of the English people. There is an observation which I hasten to set forth as re fleeting honour on our race, and as pr•nring the great progress all classes of Englishmen have made in taste and in morals within the last twenty years. In this vast collection of printed matter, which in• eludes everything that English presses put forth last year, there are not more than forty pages of indelicate matter ; and there is not a single blasphe mous work ; for blasphemy and indecency have ceased to pay in print. South Kensington has good reason to be proud of this feature in the Exhi bition. _ _ Some of the popular printers and publishers arc ready in their places. The chief feature of Day and Son's stall is a tine chromo-lithograph of the marriage of the Prince of Wales. Messrs. Cham bers are in position opposite Messrs. Bradbury and Evans. The handsome case of the latter firm is to be crowned with a figure of Mr. Punch. Oppo site the printers and publishers is a little court, to be called the British Art Manufacturers' Court. Messrs. Blashtield are making a great show herein, and the Architectural Pottery Company have put up some rough mosaic work. The English are very strong in terra-c tta ; but there is little hole of creating a French market for this beautiful work, 1 , since French architects and decorators have at their disposition a soft stone which can be worked with the greatest ease, and is cheaper than terra-cotta can be made. Behind the British Art Manufactu rers' Court is the English picture gallery. The most is made of the little space (not more than half England had in l 855) given to British artists. The water-colours and drawings are being hung on stands, to occupy the centre of the gallery. But the hanging is retarded by tho presence of work men and the clouds of dust. The English authori ties have made the moat of their art space, and have enlivened the appearance of it by emblazoning the names of great English artists upon the walls above the pictures. In the Indian department a magni ficent group—conflict between a lion and tiger— stuffed and disposed by the well known Edwin Ward, has been uncovered. The activity in the southern section of the park is now prodigious. It is handed over to hosts of gardeners. Every night processions of immense trees make their way to the Champ de Mars, and the snot that was a shapeless bog yesterday is a shrubbery or a grove to-day. Serpentine walks are being traced and gravelled, and the planting out is going on on an immense scale. A few days ago the Austrian beer-house, and Messrs. Gousset and Rourk, in the French department, were the only purveyors of refreshment on the outer circle of the building. But now the cafes and beer-rooms, and baths, are to be counted by the dozen. The beer of Munich is competing with that of Vienna and of England. Allsopp's yellow placards are in every direction. This firm have the beer monopoly of the most important French places, and of the Swiss buffet. The proprietors of the French bars appear to keep their eye chiefly upon English visitors, and to be still possessed with the idea that the true Briton is as prone to plum-pudding in the dog days as he is at Christmas. On one French bar there is a horrible speckled mass that the poorest London cookahop would repudiate, surmounted with the inscription, "real plum-pudding." This dreadful libel on our English dish is in the close company of a shrivelled, shabby lump of meat inscribed • real roast beef." I have no doubt that the cosmopolitan genius who advised the French restaurateur to cater for John Bull in this fashion imagines that he will attract hereby the flower of the English visitors. At the risk of breaking my neck I have made the tour of the cellars and kitchens under all these re freshment places. The barrels of beer, the hun dreds and thousands of dozens of bottles, the great kitchens, the fierce ovens, the crowds of pastryoooks and scullions, the oellarmen flitting in all directions with a candle at the end of a stick, make a world underground already. The main supply of beer is in the immense cellars of Messrs. Allaopp. The hogsheads are in rows by the hundred. There are two other British " refreshmenting" features that ppear in all the refreshment departments—via, the ickle stands of Crosse and Blackwell, and Huntley and Palmer's biscuits. The latter firm have made a special Exhibition biscuit flavoured with vanilla, packed in tricolor boxes, and called the Napoleon TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (MUTES'S TELEGRAMS.) THE KING OF PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MARCH P.T. It is rumoured that the King of Prussia will pay a visit to the Paris Exhibition about the end of May. BERLIN, MARCH !IL Evan NG. Prussia has counselled the Turkish government to cede the island of Candia to Greece. The Prussian government, in order to facilitate passenger traffic between France and North Ger many, in view of the approaching Paris Exhibition, proposed to France the introduction of some reci procal modifications in the present system of pass port supervision between the two countries. The proposal was declined by the French government on the ground of considerations connected with the French police arrangements. PRUSSLA. AND SOUTH GERMANY. BERLIN, ItutcH 27. The semi-official ribrincial Correspondence of this evening, referring to the treaties concluded in August last between Prussia and the States of south Germany, says :—" The object of these treaties having been made public was to show the German people what bases of national unity it already possesses, and also to further the accom plishment of the task which still remains to be performed— namely, that of consolidating the national edifice." IitiNGARY. PESTH, MARCH n. In to-day 'a sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet, a member of the Extreme Left brought forward two bills, one of which proposes to pension the widows and orphans of the Honveds (the National Guard of 1848) as well as invalided members of that force, and to provide employment for Honveds still able to work. The second bill proposes to perpetuate the memory of the patriots who were executed in 1848, to liberate all persons suffering imprisonment fur political offences and revoke their sentences, and to restore all goods which have been conSscated for like causes. The general debate on the report of the committee of sixty-seven was then resumed. The coronation of the Emperor and Empress as King and Queen of Hungary will take place at the beginning of July next. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. FLORENCE, MARCH 27.

[STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL.] biscuit. In N. Genesee' department, Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell are to erect atrophy of sauces, while Huntley and Pahner are to exhibit a trophy of biscuits. A most ingenious shelter has been provided against the fiery rays of the summer sun in Paris. A series of circular tables are being made, in the centre of which an umbrella, about twice the size of our gig umbrella, is sized • and may be raised or lowered at the pleasure of thu costrirc. On the eastern side of the park I note that the Dutch picture gallery and the diamond-cutting house are finished, and that the beautiful timber frame cottage of the Imperial Commission by the western entrance is crowned by the tricolor, in token of its completion . The tower and hand some wooden canopy overhanging the gallery of this chiilet are perfect in design and proportion. Oppo site, on the outer circle, is the great Bordeaux wino cellar, prettily fitted up and decorated with a map of the Bordeaux wine districts. There is an in scription on the window to the effect that all the tasting must be done on the premises. At hand, by the Jury-house, there are admirably-arranged post and telegraph offices. The outer columns of the building are being painted with metallic paint that looks like steel, and are being picked out with gold. Thu effect is very light and pretty. On the broad way from the bridge to the principal entrance immense tricolor poles are being planted at short distances to carry the orithinune ; and mysterious decoration is going l on over the chief entrance to the park, under can vas. The traffic is already prodigious, especially at the western entrance, which is the nearest to Paris. I have the verybest authority for saying that the Exhibition will be opened punctually on the let of April, but with the least possible ceremony. The visits of royal personages are postponed—probably until the Ist of July, when the prizes are to be dis tributed in the Palais de l'lndustrie. It is ex pected that the Emperor will arrive with the great dignitaries of state, declare the Exhibition open, and make the tour of it. Prodigies have been done during the past week, and are doing; but there will be many ugly unfinished gaps on the opening day. Prussia, for instance, has barely got the skeletons of her buildings together in the park. A great part of the French department will be far front completion. The weather is unsettled, or it might be more correct to say settled, to rain every two or three hours. In short, the Exhibition on the Ist of April will be seen at its worst, and on the Ist of July it must be at its best. The Empe ror will have something original and magnificent to show his royal guests in the summer, but now he can conduct them only through half-furnished galleries, and through a chilly, damp, and leafless park. The most important recent announcement on the subject of the Exhibition is the approaching elec tion, by universal suffrage, of 305 male and ten female delegates, who are to represent the trades of Paris at the Universal Exhibition of Paris. Women are to have votes in the election of their delegates Mr. Mill may be happy to hear. M. Emile de Girardin predicts that this great election will be conducted with complete order, and he sets it up as a proof that France is ripe for the widest liberty. It will be the duty of the great commis sion of workmen, which they themselves will have appointed, to study every part of the Exhibition that concerns their trades. The plans for the for mation of this parliament of workmen have been devised by M. Dewinck. Rooms at the mairies of the different arrondissements are placed at the disposal of the workmen and workwomen electors. It is arranged that a number of tickets of admis sion to the Exhibition, equal to the number of voters in each trade, shall be distributed to them. By this liberal arrangement the entire body of the picked workmen of Paris will be able to make at least one visit to the Exhibition without cost. THE MEDITERRANEAN. (BOY OUR OWN COBREsPONDENT.) MALTA, MAncH The squadron under the command of Vice- Admiral Lord C. Paget having returned to Malta on Wednesday last, from a week's cruise in the vicinity of this island, is still here undergoing refit. The screw steam transport Memera, 5, Captain J. Simpson, will leave Malta on Monday next for England, conveying naval and military invalids and supernumeraries for the men-of-war just commissioned at home. The English yacht Marcia left this port on the 18th inst. for Syracuac, having on board her owner, Mr. K. B. Sheridan, 31. P. Paymaster K. Hall, H.N., arrived in Malta on Thursday last from Southampton, in the Syria, and Ins joined the Victoria, flag-ship of the coni mander.in-chief, Lord C. Paget. Dr. Sutherland arrived here yesterday evening from Marseilles in the Delta. The following officers left Malta for England during the week : —Captain Limuidy and Lieutenant Whittaker, GOth Rifles, who proceed home silt Marseilles ; Colonel 11. Bowen, Captain A. Seeberras, 98th Regiment, and Captain Ruck and Lieutenant Moore, nth Itegiment, who return vit Italy. GREECE AND THE CRETAN INSURRECTION.--The Greek government ha. addressed a circular to the guaran teeing lowers, under date of the 13th Febraary, denying the accusations brought against it by the Porte of encou raging rebellion in the Turkish provinces bordering Greek territory, and calling attention to the necessity of satisfying the desires of the Christian populations of Turkey, especially the Cretans. HORSES Yule INDIA.—The embargo placed a few years ago by the Sultan of Turkey on the exportation of horses from his dominions cut off India's moat abundant and best supply of steeds. The countries bordering on the Persian Gulf had always been looked to as a never-failing source whence could b, obtained, at very reasonable prices. not only horses " fit fur saddle and harness." hut suitable as remounts for the cavalry regiments, and even for the artillery. To maintain a sufficient supply fur the army and also to procure an improved breed of horses in dependently of Arabia and Persia, the govenimetet of India set about devoting greater attention than formerly to its own studs. Mares were imported from England, many of them really good animals ; bus several batches of stallions which followed, though selected for their high pedigree by officers appointed by the Secretary of State, were so wretchedly inferior that no improvement could be expected from theta. In many Indian districts the breed of country borsex is said to lm so bail that a remount agent would have great difficulty in procuring a dozen serviceable horses from a whole province. Australia has done a great deal to supply the deficiency, but the change of climate and the risks of a long voyage, besides some other drawbacks, have prevented the Australian front taking the place of the Arab. It is therefore with great satisfaction that a telegram has been received from Sir Antonia Kenaball, our resident at Baghdad, intimating that the remonstrances of the Indian governments with the Porte, through Lord Lyons, the ambassador at Con stantinople, had procured the recision of the order prohi biting the exportation of horses. The number of steeds that will be received from the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea will now, in all probability, be greater in consequence of the long continuance of the prohibition now at length removed.—Tiara of Dacha, March G. DEATH or THE REV. DR. CAMPBELL. —The death is announced of the Rev. Dr. John Campbell, • well known minister of the independent or congregational de nomination. The deceased gentleman was horn in Forfar shire in 1793, and having received his preliminary educa tion at private schools entered the University of St. Andrew's, whence be migrated to the University of Glasgow. He was ordained in 1829 to the partial charge of a congregation in Ayrshire, but coming Ito London he was appointed minister of the Tabernacle in kloorfields, built by the celebrated George Whitfield. On resigning that poet, after 20 years' arduous labour, he devoted himself entirely to literature, and was the editor of several periodicals (including the British Standard) and the author of several works, princi pally of a controversial character. In 1839 he opened a controversy in the newspapers with the Queen's printers on the Bible-printing monopoly, which resulted in an immense reduction of the price of the Scriptures. In the year 1841 he revived the degree of D.D., from the Um vsesity of St. Andrew's. A few months since he received a testimonial from his adminus and friends on his retire ment into private life. [TWOPENCE ~.. THE PROSECUTION OF Fa-GOVERNOR MARIMT DRAYTON, WEDNL‘DIT. Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning the pro ceedings against Hr. Eyre, sui-govemor ci Jamaica.insti tuted by the Jamaica Committee, were resumed at this place. The magistrates on the bench were Sir Baldwin t l 7 : h trlam il les .

Hr. (Allard, with on Sheen (of the firm of Sheen and Resew , soh.. prosecution) and Mr. Rose (solicitor for the ilefe..'"' .... also present. tv Immediately following the entry of the chairman ra. court Mr. Eyre entered the room, accompanied by MY.` Giffard. Him appearance was the signal for a clapping of bands on the part of one of the gentlemen present ; but this attempt at applause was immediately suppressed by the chairman, who said that any one interrupting the court in a similar way should be immediately expelled. The Chairman rid that Mr. Corbet, one of the magi strates who sat on the bench on Monday, was not then present. Mr. Corbet was a son of th..l landlord of the accused, Mr. Eyre, and he had therefore thought it proper to decline sitting any longer in the case. This he (the chairman) thought was a very proper proceeding on the part of Mr. °orbs.; see beeseerif Ilhelp• *an his views of the ease would in any way be influenced by the circumstance mentioned, but because in a case such as that which they were assembled to hear it wee necessary not only that justice should be properly administered, but that there should not be the slightest grounds for an im putation upon their manner of administering it. Mr. Warren, the clerk to the magistrates, then read the charge upon which Mr. Eyre was in custody. After Arranging for the absence from court of the wit nesses, Mr. Stephen said that on the last occasion of his appearing there the bench had expressed a desire to have the prosecutor present. In the emergency, the prosecutors being in London, Mr. Sheen had volunteered to take upon himself the office of prosecutor. Mr. Taylor, M.P. for Leicester, was, however, now present, and desired to appear personally as the prosecutor. The learned counsel then proceeded at great length to open the case for the prosecution. He divided his speech into three parts, treating first of the general facts con nected with the disturbances out of which the charge of murder against Mr. Eyre arose ; secondly, of the law upon which the pmeecoution relied fur a committal ; and thirdly, of the part personally token by the :teemed in the alleged murder of George NN illiam Gordon. With the intmdue tory statement of facts the public are already familiar ; and the second portion of Mr. Stephen's speech was an able elaboration of the legal arguments, which have been touched upon in the prosecution against Mr. Eyre's subor dinates instituted in the London police-court Mr. Stephen laid down the proposition that the bench were bound to accept one of two alternatives—either they must say that Mr. Eyre was, in the matter of Mr. Gordon's death, guilty of murder, or of justifiable homicide. If they said he was not guilty of wilful murder then they must adjudge him guilty of justifiable homicide, but there was no medium between the two. It was an undoubted fact, and he should prove it by letters and other indisputable evidence, that Mr. Eyre gave all the orders, and took unon himself the whole respousibility of what was done in Jamaica with a view to suppress the disturbance in October, lotto. It was a pleasure to hint to be able to uy that Mr. Eyre was a 111311 of undoubted courage and gallantry. From first to last no man could have taken upon himself more plainly the responsibility of the acts done by his suladterns, no man could have stated more unreservedly the motives by which he acted than did Mr. Eyre, and whatever might be the difference of opinion on other points there could be no doubt in any man's mind that Mr. Eyre was a brave, a very brave man. Premising that his duty was confined to satisfying the bench that the legality of the act of Mr. Gordon's death was doubtful, and did not extend to satisfying them it was absolutely illegal, Mr. Stephen hall proceeded some length in the course of his legal argument, when, on remarking that if be proved a certain state of things it would be the duty of the bench to commit Mr. Eyre, The Chairman said—lt would be better, Mr. :Stephen. if you would go on with the facts of the case instead of telling us what is our duty. Mr. Stephen protested that he was not saying a single word that was unnecessary. They were there to consider • most important case, rind he felt he was justified in treating it with commensurate care. It is said, he conti nued, that this act (the execution of Gordon) was done under martial law. Martial law is proclaimed to meet a state of revolt, and it authorises a recourse to extreme measures to suppress the revolt. Necessity, independent of martial law, authorises any act that can be done which is neces sary for the preservation of the peace and the safety of her Majesty's subjects. But martial law dos o not justify the putting of a man to death who had no connection—no open and undoubted connection—with a state of insurrec tion among her Majesty's subjects. It casuist justify that, and that cannot be justified except upon legal proof that the party charged was actually a party to the insurrec tion. This is the proposition which I submit to you, sirs, and upon which I found the inference that thu execution of George William Gerrlon was a murder. He would not impute to Mr. Fyro that Iris action with respect to Gordon was the result of mere spite or personal antagonism. lie would ream to say that a mere private grudge was the leading meth° with Mr. Eyre in this case. But he did any that for yeses Mr. Eyre hail entertainml upon private grounds—he did not mean grounds personal to himself—but room what he heard and knew of Gordon as an inhabitant of the island, he had entertained the worst possible opieion of Gonlun fur several years before this transaction occurred. Gordon was politically opposed to him, and he (Mr. Eyre) stated himself that Gordon's language torwanla him hed been most intemperate. With this forego: a- prepossession in his mind, believing Gordon to be a most urangerous end wicked man, he took upon himself the awful responsibi lity of 'rutting lihn to death. Ile, as it clearly appeared upon the best pear:lido evidenoe--the evidence of iris own handwriting—reg:trded Gordon's death as being mo rally just and politically expedient, and he also knew, or at least strongly helieved, that the execntioc was illegal, although be didnot appear to be aware of the full extent of its illegality. lie (Mr. Ste phen) admitted that there were circumstances in view of which a man might be suddenly put to death if his re maining alive really imperilled the peace of the country, but there was no law which empowered a governor to put a man to death simply became he thou;; his prisoner a dangerous unon, a bail man, a man whose death would be a good example by way of acting as an intimidation to the disaffected portion of the community. Mr. Stephen then went at great length into the circutostancea comeectiug, or alleged by the prosecution t - , connect, ` , r. Eyre with Gordon, reading and critic oiling upon es t. rev from the evidence given before the Jamaica l'ourtui,-,a, and which 311111,1113 ill the Jamaica Llue-took. 4 r. n.—Mr. Stephen has just concluded, having spoken five hours. Re submitted two .mestiaus as ireceserry for the consideration of the court : first, tele titer it was legal to take a civilian from a district not under martial law to one in which such a law prevailed, and hang him ; and se condly, whether Mr. Eyre's conduct towards Mr. Gordon Wll, l that of a man who only desired to punish treason. Vie court then adjourned. lIIRMINGRAM SocIETY OP ARTlsTs.—This society opened its doors yesterday for the " private view" of the spring exhibition of water-colour runtious.
