There were the Lords Chita Justices of the Coui is of King's Bench and Common 1.,,•u5, the Chief Bison of the Court of Exche quer, and Josh , ea Richardson 4114 Best.

The .ante question was then put to etch of the prisoners separately. Davidson, Brunt, and fogs, severally addressed thin Court almost in the same terms as 'fiiistiewood had done. Tidd spoke very briefly. Those prisoners who had pleaded Guilty scarcely of fered any observation. Gilchrist who was deeply affected, said, that he had served his country 14 years, and this was his recompense. The whole of the prisoners basing been gone through, silence was commanded in Coots, and Chief Justice Ab bott proceeded to pronounce the awful sentence of the law. He did this in the following terms:—" You, Ar thur Thistlewood, James logs, John Thomas 8111111, Rich. Ttdd, and William Davidson. have been tried and con victed of the offence of MO treason ; 01 con:Tiring to levy war against the King, in order to compel hint to change his measures and government. You, Richard Bradburn, John Shaw Strange, James Gilchrist, Catat les Cooper, and James Harrison, having been chatged with the same offence, have thought fit to withdraw your p,ea of Not Guilty, and to plead Guilty to the charge. It may happen that the law against you may not b e exercised to its full extent; but if this should be the case, you wit recollect that you are indebted for this clemency to the mercy of the Court, and to the mercy of those vet y person. against whose lives your designs were directed. It now only remains fur me to pronounce the sentence of the law, which is, that you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of vitecatiou, and there In hanged by the neck until you are dead, and that your heads he then struck off, and your bodies divided into roar quarters, to be disposed of as the King shall direct. During the whole of this painful yet interesting scene, the utniest silent , was preserved in Court, and each per son appeai . t d ~ r , > to commiserate the biLtlibillUU of the unfortunate prisoners.

The Lord Chief Justice, alter some consultation with the other Judges, but in which Mr. Justice Best did not like any part, observed to the Court, that at present it did not appear to them that sufficient reasons had been assigned for granting a new trial, but it required further consideration.

HUNT'S MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL. flue doors of the Court were scarcely opened this ne.rnisig, when every part of thy King's Beach was im mediately tilled with persons anxious to hear Mr. Hunt make his pi onsised motion for a new hint, which WAS ()Meted as the tint case; but owing to Mr. Pearson, Mr. Hunt's s olicitor, not being in attendance, the case of the Earl of Darnley against Robert Bligh, Esq. occupied the attention of the Coml. A few minutes beture Mt lye o'clock Mr. Hunt entered the Court with a hi ief in his hand, and his trial elegantly bound, under his aim. Upon bowing to theit Lordships, the rest of the defendants, Johnson, Healy, and Bait. lord, were railed , and appeased also on the flow with Mr. Hunt ; when the latter addressed the Court in the following words:— " To move fur a rule to shew cause why the verdict in this cause should not be set aside ; and why a verdict of Not Guilty shoula not be entered own, the record; or to slew cause why a new trial should nut lie wanted." The Lord Chief Justice.-111r Hunt, )0111 had better state to the Corot on what points you move for a new trial, in oilier that each of them way receive a distinct consideration. Mr. Haut.—My Loid, the following are the points, which I will now read to the Court :— I. Alisapprt•bension of the Judge, for rejecting evi defter which ought to have heel, received 2. For admitting evidence which tight to have been rejected. 3. Misdirection of the Judge to the Jury. 4. That the Jury gave a verdict contrary to the direc. don of the Judge. Ali.. Hunt also alluded to certain Resolutions which had been passed in Sitiitlitield, not being admitted t and like wise in admitting evidence in sonic instances which ought not to have been received ; and in other cases, rejecting of evidence where it should base been heard, particularly respecting the training at White moss. The Lord Chief Justice.—Mr. Hunt, it would be im possible for the Court to form any opinion till they hear the whole of the evidence read ; and, therefore, the bet ter able to accomplish that circumstance, this motion must stand over till next Monday. The parties will then stand exactly as they do now, and possess the same rights. Mu. Scarlett here addressed the Court, observing, that as he (Mr. Scarfed) was connected with this trial, he entreated the Court that Its might have the assistance of the Attorney-General, and who was so occupied at the present moment with his imperative duties, that perhaps it might be impossible for that great Law officer to at tend on Monday next. The Lurd ChiefJustire.—Well, Mr. Scatted, that will be seen; and if such is the case, and good reasons are assigned for it, another day may be appointed; but it most stand fur Monday at present. Mr. Hunt.—l hope I shall hear the evidence read, as I have several remarks to make upon it. The Lora ChiefJostice.—Ceriainly. Mr. Hunt.—My Lord, ail of the parties arc now here, and if your Lord.hip could appoint an earlier day, it--- Lord ChiefJustice.—Mr.Hunt, I cannot alter the day ; it is impossible, it never done. I cannot hrrak through the forms and regulations of the Court.—(This was -aid by his Lord:4op with great courtesy and good humour.)-- Therefore, Mr. Hunt, you will observe, on Monday next. lliint.—Very well, in 3 Lord ; I ant sittiSlied.
