PATRICK CONOLIN AND 111.11311 NIORA N.—Mr. Justice, Rest observed, in his address to Mr. Conolly, when }rasing sentence, on Saturday, that " it was owing to a little irregularity that his life was providentially spared, for had the peace warrant been correct in all its•parts artl , executed by a proper person in his own distoict, nothing could have limited the scope of the extreme menu: of the law, or have prevented him from suffer 'jag an ignominious death on this day." The circum ranee to which his Lordship alluded was briefly this , : s;u1111 Grainge, the father of the deceased, has for a number of years acted as headborough and principal :: - ristable of the parish of Shenley, Hertfordshire; bin Lis son has of late years acted as assistant in cases where, extra exertion was necessary. In the present instance lie, with other persons, were sworn -in as special con-1 stables, and lie was the beisrer of the wfarraritat - the time .he met with the catastrophe whiCh ended' in his -death.' It appeared that the warrant was addressed-to et -Julia -Grange." and not:to " James," the deceased; hence it was contended, that. although the &teased had been , sworn to act on an emergent occasion, lie-had not power, quantum mica, to proceed and enforce ids warrant, Which was not directed to him by the Magistrates.-: another point its the prisoner's favour Was the vague and indeterminate meaning 'of the woldlibout, in re ference to•the extent of the wound inflicted on the per s;:n of the deceased. This.objection also was conceived by the Court in favour of the prisoner ; and it appears: to be from those tairscsAllit Ore' Coruner's was cpnhlted, and the consequent abandonment of the capital chuge.

SLAVERY AND 11'S ADVOCAFES. (From the New Monthly Magazine.) There is a species of moral obligation incumbent on all who are connected with the Press, to suport the cause of humanity upon every public question. If the Means adopted to obtain a praiseworthy end be not those which we may think the best that could be used, still, if they have nothing wrong in them, it is idle to. make a stalking-horse of them to draw off attention from other points, Mid to bury the main object under a mass of senseless' vituperation and sullen invective. Such, however, has been the course pursued by the publications which have espoused the cause of slavery in this country—incited .by private interest, for which they sacrifice every honourable principle and stifle those better feelings that are perpetually struggling to be u pper most. As may be expected, such are weak allies in a bad cause. They are the mercenary auxiliaries of an army making little more than a shew on the day of battle. We do not pretend to be in the secrets of the " saints," but we cannot forget that they have been the indefati gable friends of humanity, and stoodforth firmly even when they stood alone in its cause. The praise which they have fairly earned, they are entitled to keep, with out misrepresentation of motive. The names of Clark: son and Wilberforce will descend to posterity with honour, when trifling religious peculiarities are for gotten. Men who merit the praise of consistency in one of 'the noblest causes of humanity, need not fear the feeble attacks of raillery. They may afford to be loaded with epithets of censure, and to be styled charlatans and " humbugs." because they have not re.ted content with demolishing the traffic in slaves, but go further, and endeavour to effect the ultimate abolition of slivery itself. Upon this question we fearlessly en roll ourselves on their site, and trust that the British public will continue to afford its aid to all friends of the abolition,,ind assist in removing this curse of Heaven,,, this noon-day pestilence, from their country, as the dis graceful traffic must have been removed from the ocean, had a lately deceased Minister performed but half his duty to mankind at the general peace. The object of the enemies of slavery in the proceed ings which have so enraged the West Indians and their friends, was simply to ameliorate the 'condition of the negro, by recommending that the scourge should be no longer the excitement to colonial labour—that time should be spared to the slave for cultivating his garden, without applying the Sunday to that purpose—and that every means should •be allowed him, compatible with his situation, for acquiring moral and religious instruc tion. This has been regarded by the colonist as an un lawful interference in his private affairs. We hold that the permission of slavery is a stain upon a modern Go vernment,let its interested advocates say what they may: and -that where it already exists, the removal of the stigma in the most politic manner is a solemn duty. But what has been the head and front of offence among the supporters of slave-abolition, and, indeed, on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, but that they have taken the mildest and most considerate step they could adopt, and 'at 'as' good a time as could have been chosen, for effecting a just and politic object? That it was a practicable step we have seen, fur the island of Tobago has adopted it, and Saint Kitt's (unless the-slave-owners of Barbadoes, Jamaica, and Demerara should fit out an expedition tc prevent it,'as the Barbadoes people threaten to do for destroying Methodist chapels) will follow the example. Though not directly in point, thenada has sliewn a liberal spirit in another Way, by 'admitting free persons of colour to the.privileges of the Constitution. There was nothing in the letter of Lord .Bathurst, re commending this amelioration, that could be deemed rash `or tQuixotic. It did not hint at emancipation, a measure of which the tenure of property, the composi tion of society, and the state of the siegro Mind and habit, forbade the contemplation but as a distant event, in which the present generation of slaver could have - had little chance of partaking. So remote was such a sub ject from the contemplation of liovernmeni, that it would not admit the question to he discussed, and only confined itself to hetteringlite -condition of the nerves, leaving farther steps to time. This was all intended or implied in the communication to the colonies, which . was so sneered at in 'Jamaica, and which one of the planters of Barbadoes la Mr. Hamden—what a misno. mer !yassetts caused the insurrection in Demerara. This person's assertion we do not believe. The negroes do not peruse the newspapers, but their masters dos and rf that insurrection did` not arise from other causes, the tocsin was sounded by - the slave-owners themselves, whose un seemly conduct at the idea of an interference with their concerns by the British Government, and their intem perance and -open rioting in other islands, might well ix the attention of the slave, and induce him to believe that his masters 'kept something behind the -curtain, and did not display such anxiety for the trifling concessions alone recommended by the British Minister. We be lieve that Government mill never be regarded, by the majority of the planters, as entitled to take any steps respecting the negro that may, perchake, lead now, or at •any future time, to his emancipation. The slave, his children, and children's children for ever, are regarded by them as so many cattle— he whole and sole property of their owners, who will not be dictated to how they shalt manage or dispose of them. The negro tins no rights: he and his posterity ere.to be slaves interminably, and deerve 120 better tate ! That there arc some who think other; , : ice among t'.e slave-holders we know, but we speak here of the majotity. A planter possessed of a considerable estate in one of the larger islands, and a long resident on it, declared the other day in London, that could free labour he brought to bear, he should be the first to hail k as highly advan tageous for all; but added:if I whispered such an ,opi• ' I pion at home should be compelled to fly from my property.--o By the negrocs r --.. No, by my brother planters!" Too many of the planters dislike the idea of slave instruction; their power would necessarily be abridged, more decency be observed in intercourse with the ne• gtoes, and manylong-standing vicious habitsbe changed, to which they naturally have a repugnance. They have not been sparing in the exhibition of their bad spirit on the present occasion. hi Jamaica they have repealed , the Registration Bill, and have talked loudly and pre sumptuously of 7 defying the Government at home, and being freelike the Americans, as if there had been an) analogy between the Pennsylvanians and New Englanders of America and their cause, and that of the West Indian slave•holders •!, What is Jamaica but the property of Britain by the right of conquest, a colony unable to support itself against its immense slave population, 1 without digging inglorious graves for the brave soldiery whorls it is 'necessary to send him En...lland for its safe. &uard ?. These colonists. then; are like the fly on the Coach-wheel, tbach-wheel, swelling and butting in their own impos tency. have these islands cost us no life and treasure ? was not the trade of the merchant to other tntinteies shackled for their benefit, and does it not tontintie so ? vand was it too much to ask a slight tOrrtession ler the cause of humanity in return? Away, then, with such boastings. Let, therefore, the conseqtences of their ob•' stinacy be upon their own heads; for we boldly assert,' what is as clear to us - as norm-day, thatthe negro mos , lation of the West Indies, if not instructed and prepared by degrees for eventuul emanciration, and the • being amalgamated into free society, will, by the unerring [operation of natural causes, by and bye burst its thral dom in its savage state; and fearful will the moment be. . But if anything were wantio,g to slim the 'spirit with which the planters viewed the sober tequest of the Mi nister, we may turn from Jamaica to B.irbadoes, where Men, not of the rabble, and boastful that they are not so, demolish the dissenting thane's, and tall upon all persons who are " true lovers of religion" to put an end to Methodism in the West Indies. When the Governor offers a reward for-the perpetrators of the outrage, be is answered by a proclamation from these brutalriuters, who style themselves 44 ninestenths of the•community," and even go so far as to print bills, callittg riptsn 'other colonies to imitate their tramples Can they now libel , Wilberforce for speaking of their moral depravity? This is a specimen of what sort of stuff negro-drivers are formed, and is a melancholy picture of the social man ners of Barhadoes, and the hopelessness of such persons ever amicably and cordially uniting with Government to blot out the national dishonour. Lovers of 1 4 true res• 1 ligioa,' no doubt, they are; and what tht4r notion of nisto " true religion" is, it may not be difficult to conceivil • it is not, then , the proceedings in Parliament that make the negro dissatisfied; the selfish spirit and noonday violence of the col° • are the causes, and act immediately upon the slave population. (To be colaiasted.) • • LENT ASSIZES. OXIVAD, AI Reis 4. John Carter, the celebrated pugilist, wasindicted for stealing, on the 24th of June last, a paper-parcel from the Banbury mail, containing two 51. notes and three 11. noses of theßanbury Bank, the property of John Payne. Mr: PaYne•proved putting the parcel into the mail. William Pemberton, the coachman, proved that he put the parcel into the pocket on the left side of the coach, the only inside passengers being 'the prisoner and an old Lady (Mrs. Gold), who was set down before the coach arrived at Woodstock. Two tildes beyond the place where he put down Mrs. Gold, he missed the par cel, and when' lie missed it, he charged the prisoner, the only-person in the coach, with stealing it. The prisoner said, 44 So belp me Q— I have not got it," and turned his pockets inside otttward. When they got to Wood stock the witness insisted that prisoner had got it, Asia' the prisoner denied. trhe witness desired him to pull off his shnesi he did so, when witness saw paper, and ' That's the pareel;" on which the prisoner, with a very violent exclamation, gate witness a blow on the cheek, Whichicnotked'eat one of his teeth, and put his shoe on again. The prisoner then appeared to put sotpe thing into his'trowsers, and also to have put something into his stocking. Witness searched no further. Mrs. Gold proved that ste took xway•no parcel ex cept'hor ow o. Carter,in 'his defence, said he frequently got out - to drink gin with the coachman,-and while they were doing 'so, persons from time to time went to the coach.

The Legislature of Massachussets has by law for bidden -the substitution of an qffirrantion for an oath, in a Court of justice, by those who are conscientiously scru pulous upon the subject, as the Quakers, &c. " because it would have a mischievous tendency, to discredit wit nesses in -civil and criminal ttials.' The ComMittee appoitited by the House of Commons to 'lnquire into the state of the laws in the United Kingdom, re specting artizans leaving the Kingdom ) and the exportation of machinery, have mado-their first report, by which it appears, that both laws have beetillitlicrto useless, for machinery has been ex .portr,:, and artizans have gone abroad. The only thing those laws have done has been to encourage the manufacture of foreign machi nery, and the bringing up of foreigners to be mechanics. in propor tion, therefore, as foreign machinery and foreign aril/vans have been encouraged, so in proposition have British artizain and British machinery been discouragell..and it appears clear, that if these laws are suffered to remain, Europe will supply itself with ma. chiurry and artisans, and that it will also supply the rest of the world.(ezclusively, of course, of England) with both the one and 'the other.
