The Loudon Gazette, wherein the Scheme is set forth by Government, must be the test by which the Public can decide.

Helena, w!th his Excellency Lord Charles Somerset, Governor and Commander in Chief at the Cape of Good Hope, and his two daughters, on board. The Saran° sailed from the Cape the 13th of Jannary, and St. Helena the 27th. Moroi vain was repotted to be in good health; but as he continued to live in a very 'secluded state, little was known respecting him. He retested to see Lord Charles Somerset. On the 9th ult. in be. ti N. long. 1$ W. a very severe shock of lightning was experienced on board the SAPPHO, by which her mats i were much shattered and damaged. Two men were killed on the one is in;pposed to have been s,ruek ard fallen or -:- Weld, as was ni:43l-4, and seers: 3:ht.rs :were WCpui:d.A. Did you hear any groaning, hissing, or hooting, when they came up?—l did not, my Lord. Did you see anything done by the crowd to resist them in their approach to the hustings?—Nothing whatever. What distance were you from the hustings ?—About 40 yard. Did you hear anything from the hustings encouraging resist ance when they came ?—1 did not. Did you see anything thrown at the military ?—I did not. Any stieks?—Nane. By Mr. Hunt.—Up to the momcnt the military arrived, did you see anything to alarm yea for the safety of the town or of your family ?—Notking whatever. The people cheered the mi litary on their arrival, aid they returned it. I was then near the hustings, the first military placed thentr.lves in front of Bux ton's house. This caused some alarm amongst the crowd at the outskirti., and I moved nearer the Constables. There was no thing said or done to encourage oppotition to them. I heard a cry of " B firm," but I understood this to be in order to allay the fears of the people, and restore confidence. When the sol diers again - galloped. into the field, there was fresh confusion.— I don't remember that anything was then done by you to restore confidence. The cheering of the people produced ne alarm in me. I saw the military come into Dickinson-street. I never heard you say, 4 . There are your enemies," pointing to the sol diers, " put them down, and when they are down, keep ti:em down." If such words were spoken I should have heard them. As the Yeomanry advanced to the hustings they passed within a yard of me. I had my eye upon themall the way from Bux ton's house to the hustings. I saw neither stones, brickbats, nor sticks hurled at them. Mr. SCA ILVIT, it: under tone, made an observation upon this evidence. Mr. Hunt.—The Learned Counsel is tno fond of making these pertinent remarks to the Jury, partiCularly when I cannot reply to them. Mr. Scartxrrx.-r-Pertinent remarks, Sir ? Mr. Hunt. —lmpertinent, if you please. Mi. Hunt.—Then you saw no stones thrown?—Not any. Mr. Hunt.—Did the pi:ople close in upon the Cavalry?— When they passed me, I did not see that the people closed in upon thew) ; on the contrary, they endeavoured to make their escape. I heard no fears expressed before their arrival. I never heard any one requt,t the people to make room for a Constable to go to the hustings in order to execute a warrant. By the Cocar.—Did you hear it notified in a way to be heard at the hustings, for what purpose the military came ?—No. I remained in the line of Special Constables until 1 left the field. It was then nearly one. I did not hear ary one express fears. Cross-examined by Mr. Scaaarrx.—l thought the soldiers were going to take somebody on the hustings. The Constables were near them. I was then about sixty yards from the hust ings. I reti rated down farther, when they came into Dickin son-street. My station was toward-, Windmill -street. When I turned my face towards the hustings, the Constables were on the left-haLd side. The crowd was very close between me and the hustings. Where I stood first, forty yards from them, the crowd was also very great there. I got as near as I could to hear. My family live five miles from Manchester. I never attended a Meeting before that at which Mi.-Hunt presided. I never was one of the Committer of Blanketeers. The notice I had of the Meeting was an advertisement in the Manchester Ob server. Ido not take this Paper in, nor do I remember whirr k saw it. Air. Hunt submitted that it could be of very little conse quence where the witness saw this paper, if the defendants were not connected with those who shewtd it to hint. • Mr. Fie...burr' said, bis object was to connect the place where the witness saw this seditious publication with the defendants. One part of the charge was fur conspiring to bring about the Meeting by means of such publications, and it was therefore important to the connection, to chew the place where the wit ness, who was not a Reformer, was seen in. Mr. Justice Ws LEv thought the inquiry could not be pushed so far as to get the names of the owners of the house where the witness saw the paper, unless it was afterwards proved that they were at the ,Meeting, or had acted in concert with the defendants. Witness resumed.—l cannot say how soon before the Meet ing it was that I saw the advirris.ment. I lather think it was in the Saturday's paper. There were many 1.4111( A to the Re quisition. I went merely :is a spectator, to hear what would be said. I expected Mr. Iliint would speak; I did not expect Mr. Carlile ; I don't know him. Mr. ScAßiirr-r.—DO you mein to say you kid known nothing of Mr. Cat-file's charact&•r ? Mr. Hunt here interposed.—Surely it could be nutting to him what character Mr. Caride was. Mr. Justice Barisx.-1 think- Mr. My Lord, I must insist upon havii.g Fro per respect paid me." _ Mr. Justi . ce BAYLEY.—I too will insist, that in future I must not be interrupted. I endeavour to du justice to both partit's ; but it proper respect is not paid by every one to the Cc.uit, I must have recourse to the means of enforcilig it, which I wci-ld be unwilling to do. I think, as Mr. Carfile's name was put to the Itequisition, this inquiry is not very irrelevant. Had you heard or read, that Cathie was under prosecution for blasphemy ?—I cannot recollect. You knew that Carlile was one of the persons expected these P-1 did. Will you swear you heard nothing of Carlile's having been prosecuted !---1 have sworn it. , thd you read the Manchester Observer of the preceding wetk? —I can't say ; J did not see thew regularly. illhd.you see the account at a Alectisag in Ifesitbneld, at which did not set Lt.c paper ngah.tly. .1f 1; • In that time were you not employed in reading political pub• 11co.tions 7—No, Ido not recollect. I n* spoke to bins oi CoFtett's arrival I believe I saw it first in the Papers I• have seen the Manchester Obs e rver in other places besides Joins • son's shop. On your oath, were you not &sired by him to attend the Meeting of the ltith of Argust 7-1 think he asked le I would attend. Did be nal yosi who was to be there —Be3 said Mr. Hunt was to be there. And Mr. Carlile ?-31'o, he never se-'te of him. All I knave of Car h ie I saw in the Papers. I never heard taka he opened a shop for the sale of the Repo/Wean, and Paine's works, but only through that medium. Did you ever read these works ?—Never. Do yon not know tha• the shop w ei.l.d the T. * . Reazn P--I heard it. ItR vtr spoke to ..obi.s,,n about these works. I never 'spoke to ►im of the Ileso.u.Soes at Smithfield, I have no knowledge of them. Johnson told me somethidg of the putting off of' the Meeting of the 9th. Ido nor recollect that I was to have attended that Mews g, I never was invited there. I live at lioUingwood, I never saw any drilling, but I heard it was going on. I had heard thit a mouth or a tort:tight b: fore. I don't recollect When Parliament *as prorogued. Ike-examined by Mr. Bunt,-1 know Johnson fur the Lot twelve months. I don't know him so intimately as to visit hint as a friend ; he never was at my house in his ,ifs. I s ever was at his house in Spread-lane. ilis shop is in Shod.: one of the public streets of Manchester. If I called in (Ton him, it was only for the purpose of hearing news. I never saw any of l'aine's works in his shop : such works are not told there. Johnson is a brush-maker. NeVer saw such books there as Carlile sold. I heard of the Meeting of the !Rh of Au gust, it was a current report. It was also currently reported that the Meeting was put off, and that there would be a Nest ing on the 16th. I wcrell, from this report, have attended the Meeting, whether I saw Johnson or not. Johnson did not in vite me there, in Order to take any part in the proceedings. Ile did not ask me to attend for an Mega' purpose. By the COURT.—If you expected any riot or tumult there, would you have attended 7—Certainly rot. By Johnson.—l don't recollect how I became accuaiotrd with you. I know Mr. Gee. He took me, fur the first time, to your shop. By the CGIAT.—Did yen ever bear from Janson, that doll ling"was going on ?—I never did. D:d you ever bear it mentioned, in his hearing, that it was goit:o on ?—I do not recollect that I did. you ever bear the nature of it, whether it was confined to marching or to arms?—l beard it was entirely cot tined to marching. I had no reason to suppose it ever went beyor.d that.. By the COCRT, for Johnson.-1 never heard Johnson life say anything seditious. Sidney Walker, by Mr. Hnnt.—l an a Lieutenant in the' Bengal Native Infantry. I have been from Ir.dia one or two years. I was at Manchester on the 16th of crust last. My family reside there. It consists of my mother, a sister, and be: family. I observed the processions coming it,. They were per fectly peaceable. I went afterwards to the f•ieetirg. Some cf the processions I saw pass through U. atag:.te. 1 saw nothing in the course of the mot sing calAdattd to excite fears in the re spectable people of the town. My mother or sister expressed no alarm. I did not hear any one express fears for the safety of the town. I saw the Military on the field. I stood about 40 yards from Mr. Buxton's house, on. the Dransgate side. Mr. Buxton's is at the side of St. Peter's Chnreh. I did not see any violence committed, either in the field or the streets, in the course Of the day, by the people. There were, however, two or three Inclined to fight amongst themselves, but they were prevented by those about them. They said they would not have a riot created.— Up to the arrival of the Cavalry, I did not see anything like in timidation on the part of the people. Cross-examined by Serjeant Hur.t.ocx.—l am still in the ser vice of the Company, but my leave is out, and I do not re ceive pay. I have a mind to retire, and am now a Student cf • the Inner Temple. 1 was called to the Meeting by notices on the walls. I did not see the Observer. I had come in from the country. I lived about two miles from town. hly mother lives in town, about four or five hundred yards from St. Peter's-field. lam not a Member of the Union, pr any Political Society: I was told who the speakers would be. I knew that Mr. Hunt was to preside there. I did not know that Dr. Crompton, Mr. Carfile, ur Mr. Pearson, were to be there. I know Mr. Car ilk's shop. • I knew at the time he was under prosecution fir blasphemous libels. _ _ Hunt again objected to any inquiry being made aboi.t Mr.Carßic, who was not a defendant bisc. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, as he wad one of those who caned the Meeting, the prosecutors were at liberty to slew that he was under prosecution for blasphemy at the time. Mr. Hunt thought it very hard to be made accountable for every act cf Mr. Cartile's lite. The witness went on.—l know Mr. Woolcr ; his shop is in. Feet-street. I have been in Carlile's shop, that is also in Fleet- Istreet. I believe it is called " Th e T em pl e of Reasen;" office . of " The Republican and Deist," is over the der:. Never knew Mr. Hwit before the 16th, but I saw him at a Meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; it was upon occa s i o n o f t h e d eat h of Sir Samuel Romilly ; Sir Francis Burdett was in the chair ; Mr. Hunt was there; many Other public characters were there. —lucre there was another objection raised, but after some cm versation, the witness went on.l-1 don't know that Wooler or tarlile were there. I have not be e n much in the habit ot, at tending the trials at Guildhall; I was nut at Carlile's trial.— Wooler is a publisher, I believe. I never saw Mr. flunt at r.TI other place but the Crown and Anchor. I never was at a Public Meeting before that of the 16th of August. The divisions marched in order, keeping a step, seven abreast. They di-.1 net march so regular as a Regiment of &goy% I can't say we. t number of persons were assembled ; they were calcuLited z.t 100,000. The place was elite full. I heard Mr. Hunt's atter*. I did not see the ca-riage in which Mr. Hunt was. Re-examined.---I saw the persons assembled, but I cannot say in what numbers ; they were not in military order; if they had I might have guessed their numbers. In August last 1 bad net heard that I, r. Carlile AV:S convicted of any crime; :nr. Car lilt's trial had not then come on, and I must presume a man to be innocent until he Is found guilty. Ilad heard in August that Wooler was tried, bet I do not know that he was convicted. I never saw you in company with either of them. esirlile I never saw in my life. /I slept one night at my mother's, the c:her at my sister's, two miles out of town. The people in the Feld had not the ap-,;ezi a Ice of regular troops. I saw I o large staves. The people did not :ppcar to me ready to fight for hit. Huut if there should be occasien, fbr they had no a,:. s. • By the COURT..— From seeing the divisions. Mile. >ou j» die whether they had been drilled ?-1 thought they might walk as • well if they had not been drilled. I should not tholt, from their appearance, that they had learnt the military step.. I s a w • same of them in the s:reets. I could tell; by heariog the ap proach of a body of risen, whether they were regular troqss or - not. There was nothing of uniformity in their step. I 6itt net observe that they were locked in walking. In the field the people pressed very close to the hustings. I think they were too close for offensive typo ations.
