. . 130 HICM TREASON. OLD BAILEY. I' . ItIDAY, APRIL 21. TRIAL OF JANIES The Court ntet this morning, pursuant to adjourn ment, to proceed in the trial of the other prisoners for high treason. The Court was very thinly attended, nor was the crowd in the Old Bailey near so great as it had been on the former days, although there was the suit attendance of constables to keep the avenues clear, and the other arramtements wets.: such as to allind the great est facility to the proceedings. Proelainxion has ii been made in the usual form. the jurors entered, and nearly filled the body of the Court. At a few minutes past nine o'clock, the Lord Chief u•Oco of the ('O l lll of Common Pleas, the Lord Cnief Baron, and Mr..litstice Richardson, took their seats on the Bench. The Lord Chief itscce Abbott was not in Court. The Duke of Ilanolton, s o Marquif Lansdown, Earl efion, Sir J a mes Silas", Sir Richard Carr Glyn, and Mr. Alderman ‘Vadliman, were on the Bench. Lord Chief Justice Dallas. —Bring in the prisoner, James lop, The prisoner was immediately put to the bar. Ile was tiresed in black clothes, as beim., and looked per fectly composed, thotiJi paler than 011 the former day. In the course of the day he polled out sev...ral oratv4ess which he Mt idcil wild his unfortunate fellow prismiers. It was mutually agreed that the names o: the juiyinen should be Ca I led over fiorn the p nut at winch the Court left MY when the jury in the last case was selected, toat is to say, at No. 108. The following, Jury was empmnelled : Charles Farmer, St. John's Street, har:lwarernan. Geor4e Smith, St. John's Square, Clerkenwell, ja pan tier. \Vin. More, Union Street, Limehouse, bricklayer. Jani:s Eatlas, Lampion, farmer. Thomas 8.-atictiamp, Be mono, farmer. Benjamin Pdvi he. Isleworth, organ builder. Joint Beck. Guido's Green, Hendon, gentlemut and seedsman. William Percy, Cleveland Street, Marylebone, plas- terer. J3enjamin Rogers, Lampton, farmer. Julio Young, Frederick Place, St. Pancras, gent. and scale maker. James C arey,Wade Street, Poplar, joiner. Edgecumbe, ditto. Jory having been sworn at 10 .o'clock, Shelton proceeded to read the indictment. It was the same which has been already described in the case of Tnistleworel. The Jurymen not sworn were then told that they might depart for the present, and give their attendance on Monday. Mr. Holland having shortly opened the indictment, The Solicitor-General rose at ten o'clock to address the Jury for the prosecution. It was hardly necessary for hitn, he said, to entreat their calm and patient at tention to the facts which he should have to lay before theca; for he was convinced that they felt necessity of paying it, not only in obedience to the dictates of their own cons ziences Litt as im peratively one to the pri.sotier at the bar. ' ln justice to him there was one tact now known to them, and to which hight thfon -re- lore, without improp r iety, ailude—he m e e m mo the c viction of Arthur Thistlewood. They were bound not Us suffer that fact to operate in any way to the prejudice of the present prismwr, but solely to judge of his gook or innocence upon the evidence they would hear this slay adduced against him, and on that alone. On the law of the case, he was under no necessity of making a single observation —not a d“ubt had been as yet thrown upon that part of the subject. The Solicitor General then stated the nature of the charge, and the evidence which he meaut to adduce against the prisoner, and which, in obedience to the order of the Court, we refrain at present Irons publishing. The learned gentleman spoke for an lour and a quarter. Lord Chief Justice Dallas--Let the other prisoners be brought in. The prisoners, with the exception of Thistlewood, were then brought into the dock, and severallv answered to their names, except Wilsou, who, on beitsi.t called oil as James William Wilson, said that his nom.. was not Witham. They u;1 disldaved Ow utmost firmness, and exhibited less aiortety atonal the proceeding* gran die spectators ammo' them. None of the prisoners applied for the indolgetice of a char. The first witness called wag Robert Adams, formerly a soldier in the Lite Guards (Blue). He was examined by the Attorney-General, and gave near te sante ev dence %stitch he had already detailed ly .11hustlewood'is trial. During the examination of Adams, Brunt appeared very active in taking notes on a slip of paper, and fre quently gave nolications of denying such part of the evidence as .diveted himself. Eleanor Winker was next examined, and gave the same testimony as she rifd on Tuesday last. The witnesses called aintinst Thistlewood were called in this case, and gave pr,ctiely the same evidence. Ai eight o'clock, Bishop, alto apprenended Thistlewood, was called, but did not appear. The exhibition before the Jury of time various articles seized was postponed till to-morrow. The Court adjouroed at eight, till nine to-morrow 'homing. It is remarkable out Dwyer has not been called in titis case. The Court was by no means crowded. The prisoner,, since Nl'etlin-mlay, have remained in a state of great tiviceaifit ; 111% Awn philosophically sa)s, " It can't be helped;' and "that they can ate but mice." Some of ilk c.oop.tiouns cannot I:CntiCik. lli fateelll• selves with t i le same inintlerctice to their probanle . Mrs. Thi-tlewood Lei had au inietview with her hits baud since his conviction. Site was ready affected the levity which site had previously otantresied seemed to have deserted her, and she gave way to the full tide of her feelings. Thistlcwood Ilitrsclf ieerned to be perfectly reconciled. ___ -1.4 L..... ~~ . THE NATIONAL REGISTER. On Thorsday his son applied for, and oh:anted an order front the Privy Connell to see tliln.

THE NEW C.I7WOLIt. ; CHAPEL, ifOOR-FIE, This beautiful Chapel, which has attracted so much of the public attention tor• some time, being now interiorly finished, was opened for public service ott Thursday last, fin• the first time ; on which day the ceremony Of its consecration and dedication took place with all the solemnity of the Catholic Church. High Mass was celebrated, and a sermon suitable to the occasion preached. The music, which was composed expressly tim the occasion, was performed by tile first rate vocal and instrumental performers in the kingdom, and no persons but litise professing the Catholic religion took a part. The application for tickets for sonic, time had been numerous, and a great many persons of rank and distinction were disappointed, every ticket being disposed of. though the nave of the chapel is calculated to hold two thousand person-. without the galleries. The French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Bavariln Ambas sadors were pn sent, besides the Duke of Northlk, the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, Lord anti Lady Petro, Lord and Lady Clittiird, and many other persons of diAinction of the Catholic persuasion, as well as many of the Established Church, all the Catholic Bishops and Clergy, in and within several mites of the metropolis The ceremony was peculiarly grand and imposing, from the nature of the solemn and impressive ceremonies used in the Catholic Church, together with the superb appearance of the Chapel. which will remain a lusting monument to the ri•fined taste and judgment of Mr. Newman, tile architect; Mr. A. A g lic, ..1.2 painter ; and Mr. Conti)at, the sculptor.

The state of the public feeling at Paris, respect ing the Censorship, was manifested in a marked m anncr on Thursday, at the Lectures on Modera History. At the moment when M. Raoul Roehette, the ProlLssor (one of the Censors), ascended his chair, cries of "h bax le Censeur," resounded front the upper part of the Saloon, and a co nsiderable disturbance took place, which was not appeased without some difficulty, although it was not thought expedient to call in the aid of force.
