nest tang the bell it was answered by the same Itial who bed first called him out. Witness went to the bead of the welt to Wait for a person to answer his call. There is a door at the head of the stair, with a spring hinge, which was shot at the time. Pushing it open, witness desired the girl to send the man-servant with water into the parlour. Waited for some time; but the *er rant not coming_q*kly, he went to his bedroom, on the same Iloor.Wished •to speak to theman-4r leapt, that he might identify the prisoner; but he did not come while he remained in the passage. Theoser ?ant came to him in the bed-room, and whirls sent for Mr. Dickson, his partner, who lived in St. Vincent• street. He lay down in bed in the meantime, and was ' almost unable to speak for some time. Was a good deal bruised in the chest, and felt pain there four or five days thereafter. He lost a considerable quantity of blood, with which the carpet in the room was stained. His head, while down, lay towards the wall, which was marked with grease from his hair : had no previous quarrel with prisoner. Had given him indulgence with respect to his bills, and prisoner had expressed his gratitude to him for so doing. Before the scuffle, prisoner had not charged him with doing him injustice. Witness did not call him a rascal, or use any opprobrious language to him. Ac counts for nobody answering his shouts by the con• 'traction of the house (which he described), and the die. tance between parlour and the place where his servants were. Prisoner appeared to be perfectly sober when he called. Witness identified the pistol shewn as the one he took from prisoner, and produced in the Sheriff's Office. When his partner, Mr. Dickson, came, witness examined the pistol and saw a ball in it. Agnes Strachan and Charles Gray, servants to Mr. Ker, saw the prisoner at their master's house on the last day, of May, but knew nothing of the scuffle till it was over. They found four teeth on the carpet, and saw a mark of blood upon it. The pannel's declarations were then read. In the first, dated the lit of June last, he stated the circum • stances which led to his being connected with the Clack snapnan coll.ery, and that he had claims on Lord Duodas for large sums expended on its improvement. That he had called on Mr. Ker on the day libelled, to urge these claims; but denied that he had sent a chairman, or any person, to his house, to make previous inquiries. Some conversation took place between them, in which be said to Mr. Ker he had not acted as a Gentleman; upon which Mr. Ker grew angry, called pannel a rascal, and aimed a blow at him, which he warded off. In the struggle both fell, and aft-r they got up, Mr. Ker leaned on the table, and they continued' to converse about 15 minutes, when Mr. Ker opened the door and went into another room, and pannel walked out of the house. He denied having any recollection of a pistol being used in the senile, or his having had a pistol in his possession. On being asked if he had bor• rowed pistols from any one? he declined answering; and on being shewn the pistol, said he had never seen it before. Ile was not aware of Mr. Ker having amyl pistol, or of his having bad hold of Mr. Ker's mouth in the struggle. He saw his mouth bleeding when he rose., and if any of his teeth had been knocked out it might have happened in the struggle. In the second declara tion, dated sth Jane, he still declined to answer the question regarding borrowing pistols. and stated that he ha&nothing more to say, except that Ise had waited its the room expecting Mr. Ker to return; but finding after five or ten minutes that he did not do so, he left ass. -• Two witnesses as to character were then examined, both of which described the prisoner as a vary peaceable, goodnatured, honourable in tn. The Loan AIM GATE then addressed the Jury for the Crown.. In the course of his long experience in tha.,. investigation of crime, be must state that this instance, among all the instances he had met with, was one of the most unprOvoited, the most savage, and the most inhuman and persevering cases of assault. From the first moment he looked at it he was left in surprise and astonishment, and utterly unable to discover from what motive the unhappy man at the bar could have been led to its perpetration. From the known good temper and moderation of the individual assaulted, he thought he would have been the last person in the world to have provoked such an assault ; and from the manner in which he had given his evidence, he was convinced, and was sure the Jury would be convinced,- that no. thing but truth had escaped his lips. His Lordship then recapitulated the facts disclosed in Mr. Ker's eat slence, which he contended was completely supported in the main facts by the other witnesses. It was in fact supported by the declaration of the pannel, in so far as he therein denied the truth of facts which had been proved in evidence. He could not see on what grounds, therefore, his Learned Friends opposite could rest their defence. The charges they had to try were now restricted to hamesucken and assault, and he quoted from Mr. Baron Hume to Thew that the crime of hamesucken might he a capital one.' It was for the Court to say whether it was so or not ; but under all the circumstances of brutality which masked this offence, helnust say that if ever there was a case of hamesucken which demanded a capital punishment, the present was one. It was clear that the panne' had gone to Mr. Ker's house with loaded arms, for the purpose of con cussing and compelling him to comply with an unjust demand. He was willing to give all due weight to the character which had been given to the pannel ; but in as.;n F so, h• h•ft to wonder how it was possible for any individual bearing such a character to do such things as had been this day proved in evidence. Mr. COCKBURN began by stating to the Jury that the single question for them to consider was, is the panne! guilty or not of the crime libelled? Ti,ey had in this case two stories—one from Mr. Ker in the box, and another from Mr. Stewart at the bar. Suppose the charge had been the other way, he asked what would have been the state of the contrast then? Mr. Stewart states that he had no previous malice against Mr. Ker, and this Mr. Ker admits, and states that Mr. Stewart had received favours from him, for which he bad expressed gratitude. Mr. Stewart states that he had called on Mr. Ker and had convetsation wish him, in the course of which the pas sions of both parties were roused, abusive words followed, :And a struggle ensued; but without ai.y previous malice. Except in the sauation he now occupied, Mr. eitewatt was every way as respectable and as credible as Ker; and there was no other witness to tell what happened within the room. There was indeed another country not far off—thank Goo it was not this—where the evidence of a, single witness was held sufficient t o convict a fellow creature of a capital crime; but a very different rule was observed whir us. It was a sacred principle in the law of evidence in this country, that upon the testimony of one witness no man could be de praved of life. The law of Scotland required that there must be two witnesses, or one corroborated in the most material circumstances; and of this the Jury were as good . T judges as any lawyer in theland. He did not say that there must be two witnesses, or one corroborated in /very circumstance; but in this, and in every case like thit two 'Witnesses were necessary, or one corroborated in the material or main fact. Now the main fact to be pr red in thincase was, who began the quarrel ; end this was titiestien which must be proved by legal evidence. He contended that they had no 1-gal evidence on this poiiitsHe had been told that Mr. Ker's evidence w.is corroborated by other circumstances, but he con tended that as the main fact he had not been corrobo rated at all. No eye but that of Omniscience beheld what passed between the parties on the unfortunate occasion in question ; and from the evidence of Mr. Ker himself it was impossible it could be corroborated in such a manner as to come within the condition of that sacred rule of evidence which requires two witnesses to 4 charge inferring a capital sentence, or one so com• pletely confirmed and supported on the material and main point, that his testimony thus fortified might be he d equivalent to that of two witnesses. It was for the Jury to give due weight and consideration to these circumstances, which, in his opinion, went completely to invalidate the testimony of the single witness in this case, standng, as it did, alone and uncorroborated on the main and material fact. It was clear chat Mr. Stewart ; did not intend to shoot Mr. Ker, from the circumstance ' that he did nut do so; for had such been his intention, he could, in a moment, have laid him dead at his feet. Tire Learned Gentleman concluded a speech of great ingenuity and eloquence by summing up the different points urged in defence, and by a most emphatic and impressive appeal to the Jury, at whose hands he claim ed a verdict of Not Proven. Loyd GiLLIE.s, who presided, then charged the Jury, and summed up the evidence with his usual impartiality and perspicuity. While he admitted that the case of .he prisoner had been pleaded with great ability and eloquence, the law and the fact had nut, in his opinion, been kept sufficiently distinct. With regard to the former, if one man went to the house of another will a view to concuss him into some measure or arrangement, and, upon failing to accomplish that object, assaulted him to the injury of his person and the etfuiion of his blood, that was hamesucken. 1-1• s Lordship then went at considerable length into the facts of the cam.— Mr. Kees evidence appeared to him to be corroborated in every point where corroboration was passible, by the facts sworn to by the other witnesses. The prisoner had been seen to enter the house on the day and at the time libelled ; he had been proved to have remained there for about a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes, as stated by Mr. K-r; the situation of Mr. Ker, after his departure had been spoken to both by his man-servant aid by Mr. Dickson, who each confirmed the account he had given of the injuries he had received ; the room where the outrage was committed exhibited an appearance of disorder and confusion ; the teeth knocked from Mr. Ker's head, the powder which had dropped from the pan of the piste! which, with great presence of mind, he had opened during the struggle ; and the mark on the wall by his bead, while lyrng on the floor, were all distinctly sworn to ; and the loaded pistol which Mr. Ker retained, had been identified and traced to the prisoner : so that in every point where it was suscep tible of corruption, the evidence of Mr. Ker . had been confirmed. Referring to the observations of the prisoner's Counsel on the law of E igl end, which held the evidence of one unimpeachable witness sufficient to bring home a capital charge to a pi isonei, his Lind-hip temarktd, that he could . ..ft no great inconvenience 1 kely . to Arise from &etch a rule: and the•preient case was just one of those which made it a subject of regret that such a rule ihnd not been adopted iv this country; fir a Snore unexceptionable witr,eis shah Mr. Ker, whose re speetibility and character f: r honour and veracity were knows to many in Court, hasl never appeared in a wit ness box, nor did his Lordship ever remember to have heard more clear, consistent, and credible testimony. His Lordship then commented on several statements in the prisoner's declarations, particularly in the first, emitted en the Ist June, the day following that on which the crime charged was committed, where he denies having any recollection of a pistol being used in the scuffle, or his having had a pistol in his posses sion; statements which, hi. Lordship thought, went sttong!y to confirm the evidence in proof of the pri soner's guilt. His Lordship had, therefore, no doubt that the crime of haroesucken, to which the charge was now confineil, was completely proved; hut this was the question for the Jury to determine. If they agreed with him in opinion, they would return a verdict of Guilty ; but if they should be of a different opinion, they would give the prisoner tl.e benefit of it; and he had no doitiot that whatever their verdict might be it.would be satisfactory to their consciences and the country. The Jury having intimated a wish to retire, withdrew accordingly, and after b ing enclosed for upwards of half an hour, returned into Court, and delivered their verdict, finding, by a plurality of voices, the libel Not Proven ; upon which the prisoner was immediately dismissed from the bar. During the whole trial the prisoner conducted him self with the utmo-t propriety, exhibiting touch firm-' ness and self-possession, united withan apparent sense of the peril..us and critical situation in which he stood. When the verdict was recorded, and the interlocutor of the Court read, dismissing him from the bar, he bowed re spectfully to the Ciort and the Jory, and on sitting down, tested his head upon his hands, evidently much affected, the tears flowing in profusion down his cheeks. At one part of Mr. Cockburn's most able and eloquent address he had also betrayed symptoms of deep emotion.— His friends eagerly pressed round him to congratulate him on the fortunate result of the trial, which seemed to afford them unmingled satisfaction. The works of the New Bridge across the Dee, at Chester, are now in active operation, and proceeding with great spirit. he arch will not be equalled by any similar building in Europe, or the world. The proposed span is 200 feet, and its altitude from law water mark 60 feet. ALEXANDRIA, MAY 12.—The whole of this year's crop of indigo has been contracted for at 61 dollars and 4. per oke. At present not a vessel is in port destined for England, nor do we think there will be much direct communication until the new cotton comes round. There is not any chance of any part of what is on Rand being sent elsewhere than to France ; indeed we have every reason to believe that the existing contracts with French houses will with difficulty be completed. The Government is not selling beans, but they may be purchased from merchants at S to S. dollars per ardeb The sugar crop has again failed, and early importations are looked for. Lead ore is in great request. Owing to the wants of Government, and their continual appli cations to their agents for cash, our embosses have fallen to 7# 2-3 piastres. EVEN!

LA NSDOWN, as principal Secretary of State of the .Home Department ; that of the Earl o , CARLINI, as Keeper of the Privy Seal, and the appoint. ment of Mr. Stimulus B01;112414 as Keeper of the New Forest. It also announces the nomination of the Knight of Kerry (the Right HOP. M. FITZGIIRALD) to the situ* of a Lord of the Treasury. It will also be seen on re ference to the Court Circular, that the Marquis of La NtiDOWN entered yesterday on his official duties at the Home Office ; and we now deliberately say, that there is not another man in the kingdom, be he who he may, more competent to discharge them, with advantage to the country and honour to himself. Indeed we do not know one, who has so many claims, uniting as he does the great est amenity of manners and gentlemanly deportment to •aried talents and the most extensive information. He has also the advantage of having been early initiated in the routine of official business ; and with his studious liabi is and equable temper, could not fail, hid ire no other qualifications, to give great satisfaction in'the dischirge of his duties. It is not, however, fox dui* qualifica ions, valuable as they are, that we congratulate the public upon his Lordship's appointment, but for his us!e viating attachment to those great and tried principle!, upon which the fabric of English liberty has been raised, And which have formed the sole guide of his political conduct, without- ever betraying him, however, into an explosion of factious fleling, or even an intemperate expression. _ We received this morning the Algemeine Zeno's. to the II th inst. It contains a highly interesting account l of the opening of the Swiss Diet, on the 2d, at Zurich, to which occasion the whole of the Diplomatic Body, comprising the Ministers, and Charges d'Affaires of Great Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Two Sicilies, tardinia, the Netherlands, Bavaria; and Baden, came from Berne to attend the ceremony. After the Depu ties from the twenty-two cantons had taken the cus tomary oaths in the Cathedral, the President of the Diet opened the Session with an appropriate speech; the tone of svhich is perhaps the best of all potiible com ments upon the spirit which Door regulates all qoattet of the globe! . Stub sentiMents as these, k tte Presence of the A u.trian Ambassador, speak for them . selves. The President nett eipressed his joy at the est'. station in which Switzerland was held by the turopeAu Powers,though be had the good sense to omit the cauw, cr to make any allusion to the very different eircum.teints an which she had been pitted' when England had not the influence she now eletcisesih.the great afLirs of .he world. With respect to the Ginfedtration ittelt, he .aid that what it wanted in union and energy, was sop plied by the public spirit of the nation, which became more manifest every day. He then concluded his speech in the following terms : a When the repetitive, of a limited revenue are not adder:i f the private property of the citizens coleus to tae aid of these tutioni which ptablic opitioft tcesiders as necessary ; and the ea:t elt! improvements ib she arts and sciences are turned to the %delta rage of the country by Many ♦dstntary essoidatteos, and the bonds of friendship between all the members of the Confederation strengthened. A new generatioo lives more in the future t►aa in the past; but the history of the country has charms ensues to set before them the example of their fathers, and if they are wise they will not be lost upon them." • We also received this attuning Dutch Papers to the 17th inst. from which se learn that a camp is to be formed on the Ist September on the heath of Revels, near Turnhout. It will consist of 12 battalions of in. fantry, eight squadrons of cavalry, a brigade of field Artillery, and a brigade of horse artillery, ameuming in All to 12,000 men. As a French cam s , is to be formed at St. Omer about the same time, it is probable that the Dutch have taken from it their present design. The King of the NETHERLANDS has ordered a litho graphic copy to be made of the valuable document called the " Union of Brunel.," and which commemorates the most important event in the history of the Nether lands, and perhaps in the annals of modern times, as it was the dawning of that civil mad religions liberty which now shines with nearly meridian splendour on a part of the Old, and the whole of the New World, and who,e genial influence is visible in the vastly incseased wealth, knowledge, convenience, security, and happi. ness of the nations that enjoy its vivifying rays. Upon Ithat memorable occasion, all the districts of the Nether lands bound themselves to defend their freedom against the tyranny .of Spain; and the impnrtant document, •whids contains this pledge, and whicteshas been just lith•sraphed, contains 250 signatires, Mtacbed to it. It is printed on four Argo Oro" . andls.faid to be ad. tnirably executed. . • • DUCHESS OF CLARENCE. Devonrom, Jam id. The populace had Waded in the mostauxiout tattoo the water . part of the, day for the ante. of her Royal Highsiess the Duchess of r Lemma; but owing 'tif , the great ley shy displayed in the several places she passed through, by taking the horses from the carriage and dragging it, they were db.. pointed till a la e hour, for It. was seven o'clock before the pat from the batted** announced the welcome tkfingsbf her weal. After remaining a short time at Admiral Lord blortbesk's Mew, she proceeded on Nut, escorted by his Royal Highness the Dvbe of Clarence, the Admiral, and Lieutenant-Governer, and passed through as avenue formed by the troops from the Admiral's helm to dm landing place. amidst the loud acclamations of the What*. tants at the three Towns, who vied with each other in &playing their loyalty. All the Captains of the, squesirm were in attend. Mee, in their respective boats. Immediately on her putting het foot on the boat, the batteries and ships commenced saluting. The SCOW was beautiful beyond description ; as so great a too course of people seen collected on the Act:Asian ; all the men-oberar were dressed out in flags; their yards were manned at the time they saluted, which had a fine effect.
