VIDLER V. P, Mr. Taast.ovE stated, that Mr. Russell had executed the necessary settlement in this case, and had presented a petition, praying to be discharged from the Fleet, where it will be recollected he was sent by the Lord Chancellor for contempt in marrying a ward. The object of the Learned Counsel's applicat►on at the pre sent moment was to have an early day fixed for the hearing of the petition. His LORDSHIP wished to know what was to be heard ; so much had been said in this case, that it was highly desirable things should be set at rest if possible. If the Learned Counsel would mention it when Counsel on the opposite side were here, something might probably be arranged. Mr. TRESLOVE observed that he had been informed by the adverse Solicitor that it was not their intention to enter into the circumstances of the case. His LORDSHIP then ordered the petition to stand in the paper on Saturday next. • '' 1 , - ., ' : •-*:!". - fr. ---• " • •••.? TI!!!:`1:1": ommirimet . . ---,J.-, --- •‘47, '-.,, k . - NTELLIGENCE.

IN THE MATTER OF THE SUITORS OF THE COURT. Mr. BEAUEB stated :kat this was the petition of the representatives of the late Mr. Burroughs, the junior Registrars, and Clerks in Court, praying that the salary due to Mr. Burroughs at the time of his decease might be paid to his representatives; that the salary due to three Junior Registrars might be paid, and that they might have such increase as was usual upon their ad vancement. The Learned Counsel believed the order prayed was a matter of course, the Solicitor on the part 'of the suitors appearing by Counsel and consenting. His LORDSHIP inquired if the Learned Counsel who was to consent was in Court, and upon being answered in the negative, made the order, subject to the produc tion of his brief. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JILT S. The VICE CHANCELLOR this morning heard and dis posed of a treat number of motions, most of which were either praying for liberty to pay money in, or to take money out of Court, not one of which possessed the least interest, except to the parties concerned. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 2. LIBEL ON THE LORD CHANCELLOR. Till KING V. BELL. The ATTORNRY•GBNERAL moved to make the rule absolute for filing an information against the Editor of the Atlas, for the publication of a libel on the Lord Chancellor and his Lady. The libel imputed to Lord and Lady Lyndhurst corrupt conduct in the disposal of ecclesiastical promotion. Mr. Pou.ock appeared for Mr. Bell, not with a view of opposing the rule being made absolute. Mr. Bell was anxious that his motives should stand well before the public. He had Mr. Bell's affidavit relating how the paragraph got inserted in his paper. He disclaimed any intention to avoid a full disclosure of the facts. The paragraph had not been inserted to answer any malig nant purpose, and he was ready to admit that the re sponsibility attached solely to himself. It was conveyed to him on Saturday evening, and was inserted as the latest news. • His duty required him to see the article inserted. His affidavit stated, that having been in Co. vent Garden Theatre, he heard a rumour with respect to some imputation on the Lord Chancellor and his Lady which he committed to paper. When he got to the office he gave it up for insertion. It was delivered in haste. If he had had time to reflect he should not have given it insertion. He took the whole responsibility which might attach to the paper upon himself. acting as the editor. He cast no imputation whatever on the pro prietors, and he was desirous of saying that he had not gone oot of his way to introduce the article. The paper he conducted had observed upon political questions a strict neutrality. It gave no opinion on such matters, but was chiefly devoted to science and literature. In preparing articles of that description his time was gene rally occupied. The paragraph in question was not in serted with a calumnious intention, but be took it as a matter of news, and inserted it inadvertently, having no view of gain or remuneration. Mr. F. Pou.oce said he had another affidavit, swearing that there was no foundation for the imputation cast on Lord and Lady Lyndhurst ; but he should not read it, because he would not do the character of the Lord Chancellor and his Lady so much injustice as to suppose it required any support. He concluded by expressing the contrition of Nit. Bell, who did not solicit the Court to discharge the rule. His object was to state that he had not gone out of his way to insert the article under a corrupt or malicious motive. The ATTORSZT Ganzasr. said as Mt. Pollock did not oppose the rule he should say but little about it. The affidavit which had been read was of great importance, because it showed the manner in which such paragraphs i foond their way into Newspapers. It appeared that a Gentleman returning from :he Theatre found this para graph, which he thought proper to publish without reflection, although it contained charges against one of the highest personages in the State. He (the At torney-General) was glad the affidavit had been made, because it would put the Court and the public in pos session of the way in which these articles were intro duced into the Papers. If a person belonging to a Paper came through the Strand, and obtained information from any one conveying a charge against the Lord Chancellor, it was published, with an observation that the Lord Chancellor's friends did not believe it. In be half of the public he had to hope that the Court would make the rule absolute. Lord TENTERDEN—Let the rule be made absolute. TAS KING V. EDWARDS. The defendant, a young man preparing to follow the profession of the law, appeared on the floor of the Court to receive judgment, having been found guilty of as saulting a watchman in the streets of Derby. The pro srcutinn was preferred by the Commissioners of Paving for the town of Derby, the assault having been attended by circumstances cf great violence and impropriety.— It appeared that this was not the first Tom and Jerry prank which the defendant had played off. At the period when the assault was committed he was under a recognizance to keep the peace towards another watch man. The guardian of the night assaulted in the last case was going about his business, unconscious of harm, when he received a blow which lett him streaming with blood, and confined him for a week. Mr. Justice BATLEY animadverted upon the irregu larity of the defendant's conduct, and the pain he must have given his respectable friends. The Cower sentenced the de'endant to be imprisoned four months in Derby gaol. COTTON SPINNERS. — THE KING V. RATNER. Mr. Sergeant Caoss moved to file a criminal infor mation against Robert Rayner, a druggist in the town of Stockport, for the publication of a libel injurious to the masters engaged in cotton, factories fa that neigh bourhood. The Learned Sergeant read the affidavits ~:i~ . : • of several masters in the cotton trade, residing at Stock port, who stated that towards the close of last year the deponents, in consequence of a diminution of theirs profits, were compelled to reduce the wages of their working people. They accordingly settled the wages of men at from twenty four to thirty shillings per week ; those of women from eighteen to twenty-four shillings; boys from twelve to thirteen shillings. Such were the wages in April last, but several thousands of work peo ple refused to work on those 'elms, and threw them. selves out of employ. There was no less than 7,000 out of employ who might be employed if they would con sent to receive the above wages. The a ffi davits went on to state that riots and disturbances ensued in consequence of so many being out of employment. During those un pleasant scenes the public mind has been excited against the masters by a publication made by the person against whom this application was made. Among the facts which the defendant made the subject of improper comments was the following—Five or six hundred per ' sons, consisting of men and women, met at Hitbe, near Stockport (as they were allowed by law to do), to agree about their wages. Unfortunately, on that occasion the building in which they assembled fell about their ears, and SO or 40 lives were lost. In that state of things the defendant held up the masters to public odium, by charging them with a design to stat ye the labourers. The defendant was indicted at the Quarter Sessions, but had not taken his trial. He had recently republished the pamphlet, with a placard, in the following terms— " In commemoration of the noble stand made against reduction of wages in 1828." The offensive publication was sold by the defendant in his shop in the town of Stockport, where it was exhibited in the window. Lord TawraaDaN—Take a rule to show cause. Mr. ERMINE applied for a writ of mandamus corn. manding the Dean of Winchester to swear in a Mr. Duff to the office of churchwarden of a parish in that diocese.—The Court granted the writ. 16, HALL N. TB! HON. CAPTAIN CURZON AND OTHERS. The decision of the Court was given this morning in this cause, which was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover a compensation for his services as Secretary to the City of London Central Improvement Company, of which Association the defendants were shareholders and directors. The cause came on to be tried before Lord Tenterdea at the last Sittings, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiff. • Mr. CAMPBELL, on a former day in this term, ap- plied to the Court to set aside the verdict and enter a nongit, on the ground that the witnesses who proved the plaintiff's case were incompetent, as they were' subscribers and shareholders, situated similarly to the defendants, and also liable for the debts of the Company. L:nd TENTERDBE this morning delivered the opinion of the Court, which confirmed the verdict given by the Jury at the trial. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 2. WILLAN3 TAYLOR. The argument in this case was resumed this morn-1 ing. It was an action for a malicious prosecution, the facts of which have been several times before the public. Mr. Sergeant TADDY yesterday showed cause against a rule for a new trial obtained by Sergeant Caoss. The Learned Sergeant said that Lord Wynford was of opi- nion that not only was there no evidence of want of probable cause, but that there was proof of probable cause for the prosecution. He submitted that it was incumbent on the plaintiff to prove want of probable cause, and the mere fact of an acquittal, and the absence of the prosecutor as a witness, was no proof of the absence of such cause. Mr. Sergeant WILDS this morning followed on the same side, and contended that the defendant bad good grounds for preferring the indictment, for there were eleven witnesses who swore to the charges, which was a sufficient justification, even though he should have been mistaken as to the guilt of the plaintiff. • The COURT was of opinion that the rule for the new trial must be made absolute. It thought that the evi• dence adduced at the trial was sufficient to warrant the calling upon the defendant to clear himself from the charge of wanting probable cause for the prosecution. Mr. Justice PARE could never agree in opinion with the late Chief Justice, that the hesitation of the Jury on the trial of the indictment was evidence of probable cause.—Rule made absolute accordingly. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS, Jimir 2. A JEWISH SQUABBLE. Lipman Hart, Zadig Hart, Philip Hart, and Henry Henry, were indicted for committing a •iolent assault upon Elizabeth Levi. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutriz, that all the parties are of the Jewish persuasion, and deal in fish in Stoney-lane. On the day named in the indict- ment the prisoners commenced a most outrageous as sault upon her, in consequence of her remonstrating with them for enticing her customers away. She pro duced a bundle, which contained her clothes, and which were saturated with blood. Mr. Bodkin cross-examined the prosecutrix at great length; wben she denied that she had ever been in prison —she was married, but separated from her husband— the separation did not take place in consequence of a representation of her immoral conduct to the Elders of the Synagogue. Several witnesses were called to confiim her testi mony, which, as usual, was positively contradicted by the prisoners witnesses, who tepresented Mrs. Levi as a most violent woman. The prosecutrix upon being re-called, denied that she had ever passed by the name: of Hyarn, Myers, or Isaacs, nor had sbe ever cohibited with men of that name—she had been nick-named " Betsy Conscience,' but not christened so—(Laughter). Julia Solomon: gave counter testimony with great volubility, but insibted that her name was Betsy Con science. " Bless you, my L•lrd," addressing the Re corder, " it would not only puzzle you, but a Philadel• phia lawyer, to find out what sbe is"—(Bursts of laughter, in which the Court joined). The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Henry, and acquitted the other prisoners. The Count sentenced him to pay tuenty shillings to the prosecutriz. The,celebrated Lotke, when in France, in the year 1675, speaks, in the journal which he then kept, and which has been lately brought to light, of parasols, as a pretty sort of cover for women riding in the sun, made of straw, something like the tin covers for dishes." Pictou has been made a free warehousing port; and there is good reason to believe that illicit trathc to. a great extent exists in the remote parts and obscure har bours, which, without increased vigilance, is likely to be accelerated. Accounts from Gibraltar of the 11th of June state, that official information bad been received, from the Consular Agent at Tangiers, that the Austrian ships of war have been severely treated in the late affair: The squadron arrived in the bay with a number of wounded on board. • .1-1; POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday Addinbrooh, Andrews, Barlow, Phillips, and Hamill, who beer* charged, upon suspicion, with having committed various acts of fraud, were again brought op for examination, and, after some discussion, discharged ,upon paying a shilling each, and Sheriffs' officers immediately took them into custody, and lodged them in Whitecross-street prison. GUILDHALL. John Lane. a labourer, was charged with being found in a house wherein an illicit still had recently been at work. An officer of Excise deposed, that on Wednesday afternoon be went with another officer, namedWhiskin, to a house in hlontague court little Britain, aid found in the cellar a still, which would readily produce 100 gallons of strong spirits per work; it had been recently at work, as the chimney was warm. He found five gallons of spirits, nearly of the strength of spirits of wine, eight gallons of low wine, or first running from the still, and 180 gallons of wash. They found the prisoner on the first floor, eating his dinner, and a female washing the garret stairs. The prisonet's trowsers were dirtied with molasses and wash, and appeared as if they had been worn during the process of dis tillation. The ALDERMAN fined bins 301. and in default. of payment, to three months' imprisonment. A boy, twelve years of age, was brought before Mr. Alderman Tamar, to be bound apprentice to a fisherman, by the parish of St. Sepulchre; but the Alderman having been informed that be could not read, expressed his intention to send him back to the poor house, and said he was determined to withhold the indentures until the boy had bees taught to read. As the boy liked his situation, and the master could not wait six mouths while he was instructe d in reading; and, moreover, as the mass was in the habit of teaching his apprentices while on board, the Magistrates eventually sanctioned the binding. BOW-STREET. John Pilagerold, formerly a gunner in the sth Battalion Royal Artillery, was charged by the Solicitor of the Ordnance Depart ment with having forged a baptismal certificate, by which he bad fraudulently obtained, during the last two or three years, a pen sion of one shilling and twopence halfpenny a day. Mr. John Hignett stated, that be it managing clerk to Mr. Smith, of Austintriars, the Solicitor to the Ordnance. The pri soner entered the Artillery Corps in 1016, and was discharged snore than three years ago. lie subsequently produced a certificate from Ireland of his baptism, to show that at the time of his dis charge he was of the age which entitled him to receive a pension. Mr. Missnuu. examined the alleged forged certificate, which was produced by the witness. It appeared to be signed by the Clergyman of the Parish in Ireland where the prisoner was born. The Magistrate asked the witness what evidence he had to show that it was a forged document? Mr. Hignett said, that he had been informed at the Ordnance Office that the prisoner was between three and four years younger than he was stated to be in the certificate, and if that was a fact, be wu not entitled to the pension. Mr. Mu umuu. asked the witness if he bad any document to ahoy what the age of the prisoner was at the time he enlisted ? Mr. pignett replied, that such document, he had no doubt, unfit; be procured. His age must have been stated in his atteste d= at the time he was sworn in ; but it would require some time to examine the Ordnance Records in the Tower to discover it. Mr. Muumuu . said, that without some better evidence, he could not think of committing the prisoner; but he-would detain him is the watch-house till the following day, when he should dis charge him, unless satisfactory evidence of his guilt should be brought forward. The prisoner declared that the certificate was a genuine dace men'" and that it was obtained for him by his aunt in Ireland, who had sent it to him in a letter at his request, shortly after he was discharged. Mr. Bagger, the Magistrate, asked the prisoner if he had got his aunt's letter I—He replied that he bad not, and he believed it was destroyed; but be could not positively say what bad become of it, as several years had elapsed since he received W.... The pri soner was taken to the watch-house forthwith. lingansin Aar, was charged by John Winshefel, bedstead ' maker, of Drury-lace, with the following fraud :—The primmer came to his shop on Wednesday evening, and produced a pawn- I broker's duplicate of a set of mahogany bed-posts, whisk, on the face of the duplicate, appeared to have been pledged at the ship of IMr. Aldose, a pawnbroker, the same morning. The prisoner asked the omegleisaat to purchase the duplicate, and offered to sell it for is. stating siet he had been compelled to pawn the bed-posts for less than one third of their value. The complainant paid him the money ; and en sending the duplicate to Mr. Aldous's shop, with au intuitions( redeeming the property, be learned that it was a forged duplicate. It also appeared that the prisoner had been in Mr. Aldous's shop the same morning, and it is believed that he took a blank duplicate off the counter, and had filled it up hinaselL He was remanded. Tug Karma Tows 4110111117.—The prisoner, Ric:seri Bremilint o was to have undergone a final examination this day ; but A 111044 61 the husband doss, and father in law of the other of the women wounded by the prisoner, came forward to state that it would nut ' be possible for them to attend, they being in so weak and low a condition, and the surgeon who attended them deemed it necessary that they should be kept qiiiet, as he was apprehensive that the wound inflicted on the wile's bead would end in delirium. There was no knowing, he said, how the wounds might terminate. Mr. Muumuu. said, that at present there was no occasion for the Faience of either mother or daughter, and desired that they might not think of coming until perfectly able to do so without hazard. He expresaed his intention of committing the prisoner on the calif. sal charie. QUERN-SQUARE. Yesterday T.'sainas Cagy, between II and 17 years eige, was charged with violating the person of Mary Ann Davis, di& yam of age, who lives with her parents in Old Pyootreet, Westminster. He was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Just before the Magistrate, .1. E. Cower. Esq. was about to re tire yesterday evening, Mims Phillips and Bridget Delaney, two servants in the musics of Lord Charles Bentinck, were charged in the private room, together with Anise Delaney, the mother of the former prisoner, with stealing an immense number of articles cow slating of jewellery, wearing apparel, bed linen, and other articles, to the amount of above 3001. the property of the Noble Lord in whose service they were engaged. The circumstances of the case, which were net gone into, was briefly thus: It appeared that dy Charles left her town mansion in Park-lane, a short time since, for her country seat and on het return yesterday, she discovered that a valuable gold watch, a quantity of jewels, and other articles, were gone. Suspicion kne mediately attached itself to the two prisoners, who were Mawr employ, and a search warrant having been obtained, Goddard and Ballad, from information received, went to a house beiomdigeo the prisoner Anne Delaney, in the Kendal-Mews, Manias stn square, and there found several chests full of bedding and v apparel; with other articles, moat of which were identified, the prisoner Anne Delaney was discovered secreting a box of jewels amongst some coals. They were then brought immediately to the office. Mr. )lacnamara, a Gentleman who attended with Lady stated, that when they were examining the house, dtteldhle 1 sonar Anne doubled her fart in heedattehter_kthsroater face, and dared her to say any think about William. Mr. COIU4Ir ordered the prisotten to stand remanded anti Tuesday next. William Mina, a =Wuhan in the service of a Lady residing in Gloucester-place, was yesterday brought before the presiding Ma. gistrates, Sir Gammas Pasture and H. M. Dreg, Esq. charged with violently assaulting and endangering the life of Schofield, an active offices of this establishment.—Fined 60a. Yesterday • respectable looking female, of the name of Davy, appeared before Sir Gamin newt; on a warrant, charged with having assaulted a person of the name of Rowley, a master car penter, under the following circumstances— Mr. Rowley deposed that the defendant had, for some time past, been in the habit of annoying hint in every shape, coming to his place and interrupting him in his business; and, upon Tuesday. the came again to his shop, and asked to see lathiest the same time she stated to the young man that she wanted to speak to hint upon very particular business. On coming into the shop she new at him, and struck him in the face. Sir G. Fmuture—Had you at any time given her any reason to act is this way ? Complainant—She has had a child by me, at least she says so, and the reason of her acting in so violent a manner is, because Ire. fuse to marry her ; that's what she wants me to do; but she is pueh a violent and drunken woman that she would ruin any man. as she not such a character I, most probably, should have acted as she wished. Sir GIORGI FAILIWIT bete sated Mrs. Davy what she bad to say to the charge? when The poor woman, in reply, said that the complainant lived-with her daring the lifetime of her husband, and up to his death.— Being lift with a very good business, and wanting some person to conduct It, she continued to keep Nowley in her employ, but at the end of two months Nowley informed her that if she did not comply with his proposals he would leave her and take her business away. Having nothing else to depend on, and valuing her busk- nese more than shoslid herself. she, ins weak moment, complied ; and although she did so, it did net prevent him from dec4dving her, for not being able to read or to write, be bad to make up the ac counts, and from which she suffered most severely. Haan also had ruined 'herself by her own indiscretion, she begged of the cons &hunt to redeem his promise and marry her. This be refassel to .! -r: do, and hi addition, be nosed cards to be printed and delivered them to beg gustornere ; and in the end, took all her business away. Since then his conduct bad been most infamous to her; and smart ing under the injuries which she bad received, abs went to his shop and struck him. Sir G. Faasawr--Did you never affiliate the child. Mrs. Davy—The overseers were informed of the circumstances, but nothing else was done in it. Mr. Nowley—The statement which she has made is false. for, so far from her husband leaving her in flourishing circumstances, it was the reverse; for when the books were made up be was 451. in debt, and there was no business for me to do. Some weeks I could not make two days in a week. In reply to my having se. duced her, which is false, she made it a constant practice of coming into my room six weeks after the death of her husband, although, as I said before, if she was not given to drink I would have mar ried beg. A respectable female said she bad lived in Windtnill.street 51 year's, and that she never saw Mrs. Davy in liquor in her life. Sir G. names: observed that she was wrong in assaulting the complainant whatever might have been the injury she received. Under all the circumstances he should discharge the warrant, sod would advise her to go to Mr. Chadwell and affiliate the child; and as the father was a master tradesman, the weekly allowance would be higher than usuaL That was the proper course for her to adopt, and she most promise to commit no more assaults. This Mrs. Davy promised to do, and the parties left the office. TOWN.HALL J. Claridge and Hannah Daly were charged with robbing John Hatton Douglas, a mariner, belonging to the brig Manchester. of Hull, of five sovereigns, a Si. Bank of England note, and his watch. By the seaman's account, a girl, between twelve and one on the preceding night, took him to Claridge , when be seat her for drink; she too k the light with her; he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep, from which he was roused by a man in the dark, who asked him what he wanted there, and dragged the watch front his fob; besides which, he had in his possession when he went in, five sovereigns and a 51. note, which were also gone; the girl then returned with the light, and together they thrust him forcibly into the street. When asked to look at the girl, be said Daly was not the one be had seen, but distinctly swore to Claridge taking his watch.—Claridge was fully committed for trial, and Daly was discharged. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Samuel ljaasrs;;;;Ss charged with stealing a bag, con taining half a sovereign and some papers from the person of James Drake, in the Albion Steamer, during one of the Note excursions. According to the statement of Drake, feeling fatigued he stretched himself upon a bench on the deck, and closed his eyes, when he felt his hand seized, and found that one linger was in somebody's month—that finger was adorned with two gold rings ; he opened his eyes, and perceived the prisoner was the man wbo held kis finger in his mouth, and was busily engaged " sucking" it. He missed a bag containing the money and papers. The prisoner •:id, " Oh, it's only a lark," and laughed. He then gave back the bag. which had been in his breeches pocket; he examined it. and found that the half sovereign had been stolen out of it ; be charged him with stealing it, and the whole party abused him shockingly, and threatened to throw him overboard. Lazarus was committed for trial. LAMBOURN, THE MURDERER. Upon inquiry yesterday at Guy's Hospital, as to the state of the above miserable man, we Were told that he had passed a very restless night, and had at intervals talked very incoherently. He expressed a wish that he might die in the hospital, and requested a rope, that he might at once put an end to his existence. He is par ticularly anxious to be released from his manacles; and promises, most faithfully, that if his arms were at liberty he would not injure himself. He has now al most lost his speech, and it is with the greatest difficulty imaginable that those in attendance upon him can make out what he says. Some gruel was injected into his stomach by the stomach.pump yesterday morning, bat he endeavoured to prevent it. He seemed very calm yesterday, and more than once expressed his sorrow for what had happened ; and upon being asked by one of the pupils with which hand he inflicted the wound in his throat, he said, a I declare to Goa I was in such a state at the time, on beholding what I had done, that I cannot tell you—l cannot think which hand I did it with." The wound was dressed yesterday, for the first time, by Mr. Key, and it is the general opinion that his death is inevitable. None of his family have been to see him, at which he seems sadly grieved. LATEST PARTICULARS. The wretched man Lambourn was evidently worse yesterday than be has been since he was admitted into the Hospital. When Mr. Key, attended by his dresser, visited him yesterday, the former Gentleman asked him how he felt ? when he shook his head, and in a low tone of voice said, 4i Worse than I have been yet; he then made signs for some water, and when the vessel con taining the liquid was put to his lips, he closed them, and atterwards said, •s There's no use in my taking it, for it won't go into the stomach, but will pass out at the wound in my throat." This latter remark was perfectly correct, and the water was handed to him by the dresser, who imagined that he merely required a little to rinse out his mouth with. Ever since the wretched man's admission into the Hospital, Mr. Key informed us that all nourishment, and the medicine prescribed, had been introduced into his stomach by means of a stomach pump, the wound in the throat being of that dangerous nature that would Admit of nothing in the shape of nutriment passing into the cavity of the stomach in the natural way. When asked yesterday whether he .%ished to live, he answered that he did. He has ceased to speak or allude to his unfortunate wife; but the wretched man's countenance and his inward groaning:, are plainly indicative of the anguish and torture of his mind. Notwithstanding the unfavourable appearance yesterday, hopes are enter tained that he may :tell recover sufficiently to be placed upon his trial for the dreadful offence with which he stands charged.
