w as made, When the gun was fired. I could not discern by whom the gun was firm]. I was standing close to the doer. The apestore made was about an inch and a half I,le. I saw thr,sugh it that thlre were lights inside. A v s,,o n standing in front of the aperture might hare been elle to discern the person who fired the gun. (irainge • 5•:4 4 ."" Con have shot my arm off." The ale then dropped from Lis hands, and he reeled from the s'ep of the door.-- Both his hands were raised at that moment, in the art of striking the door. Ile had struck the door with the head (pole) of the ate. I then, with some whets, assisted the wounded !ran off. lo ;about Bor 10 minutes afterwards I beard anoihersh nt B red. From the mind,' judged that it reseeded from one of the windows on the first floor. I did not see the flash. I then continued to walk in front .-f the house. I heard Mr. Dienes]) any, that he thought the second shot was fired at him. Soon after this, some porrson.staid the officer was wanted. I asked who wanted Mrs. Brown said, " I do." Mr. Watson went and • a-ked what she wanted. She said, " I wish you would trithilraw the men, Connolly has d escaped." Mr. Watson asked who fired the gun Mrs. • Brown replied,," Connolly, and he went off immediately after' Agoras." I could not sec Mrs. Brown at this lime, but 1 knew her voice. Some time after I sent to Barnet for a constable; aid be not having arrived in time, I consulted with Mr. Newcombe, whether it was not better to make sir/oilier attempt at the door. I went round and knocked, and Mrs. Brown asked, " Who's there?" I told her that held in my band a warrant, signed by Mr. Winter, for the apprehension of Mr. Connolly. I obtained this war' rant from the hands of James Gratogeofter be was shot.— . l'teld tier the warrant was to apprehend Mr. Connolly for ao assault npon Mr. Dignam, and that in the execution of that warrant a espital felony bad been committed, and 1 requested her to open the door. that the tourson of Mr. Connolly might be sectsceil. She told - me that itie would n•it open'the door—that Mr. Connolly had escaped. I said to her, that Itch, persisted in refusing to opc, we were re' • PC lved to . foree it. She said it wonlkbe useless to attempt to take r. Connoll, that be was a deserana man, and wroth! resist to the las y t. Mr. Newcombe then rAorninend ...thee to opeollhetioor ; and he told her that if necessary the whole force of the county would he raised. Mrs. Brown replied, that she word', speak to Mr. Connolly, and endeavour to prevail opon him to surrender himself, bat twat be bad a gun and powder and shot, and that she knew it would be . tweleas. Shortly . afterwards she rune to the door,. and Said 'that Mr. Connolly would surrender, bat to 7.n other than Itr.Nesecornhe,and that he was to enter the TrouSealone. I told Mrs. Brown to open the door. She did so., and Mr. Watson and I entered the house, followed by Mr. 'Newcombe. Connolly instantly came down and surrendered himself. Propsting, the constable, then ar rived, and made 'earth for the female servant. She could nut he-found. Propsting found the gun in the cock loft. smlned it, and it wa primed, and the pan eppeared as if e t a d ad been recently di s scharged. I exam i ned the barrel, and about three inches down from the muzzle, I found a bullet or somethioe like it I brought the gun down cairsand delivered it to Mr. Newcombe. Soon after Hugh Moran was brought in in custody of FrOptting, and cue voyedeto Mr. Winter, where the depositions were taken. This is all I know. [lle depositions of this witness were read once over to bins, and he idol ed Thomas Wanton was then celled in, and hie eisminatios rimmed.

I remonstrated with him, and told him that I could not qeit my post. He said, "By Janne, if von don't be o ff , I'll shoot you." • lie said, if von stop . here till dark, I'll shoot you for a robber." I again requested him not to shout. llngh Moran then appeared at the earner outside the house, with something in one hand (I think a powder horn, but I won't swear to it), and a long bladed knife about 12 inches in length, and pointed, and ;aid," If you won't go off the premises, you are a dead man I'r•' ere was %dal him and said the same. I said, " Don't tall nonsense, you must not shoot sue." Moran went into the cellar window, and soon afterwards appeared at another window with a powder born in Isis hand which he shook, and then. turning something out of one band into the other, said." I have got plenty of ammunition to kill 20 of you." I said, "I f there were 20 Connolly' in the house 1 would no't leave my post; nor if a gun war presented from every window, 1 should never leave the house until 1 took him." Mrs. Brown was then at the window with a female servant. One of the females (1 cannot tell which ; for when 1 thought that Connolly really meant to shoot me, I retired to the,paling out of the reach of the gun if it was loaded with shot,and if with ball,thinkingit would probably miss me) then said,"if his gun does not take effect,shewould fire a pistol." 1 then asked Connolly if he was ever shot st himself. He said" Yes. by Jesus, three times in one day." Well (said I) were you not afraid ?" " No," be said. Then," said I, " why do you think 1 am ? 1 don't believe you are a brave mats, for they never make such a noise about things. I think n hen 1 tackle you. you will bang your head down liLe,a dunghill cock. and I will take you away like a lamb kith -a bit of silk rihaud r•sund your neck." lie laughe4 aad sneered at this. The witness went on to say, that when the warrant arrived be apppoachigl the door with tirainge and others; the gun was put through the door and fired. The witness then detailed the attempt to force open the door, and the firing through it. iu nearly the same words l as the last witness. When Mr. Newoonhe entered, I went with him and arrested Mr: Connolly. He said he would surrender only to Mr Newcombe. Same conversation .then ensued between Mr. Newcombe and Mrs. Brown, as to the impropriety of resisting. She said it had been done in consequence of Mr. Noel's advice and instructions. The witness was asked by Mr. STIPMEX why be bad used Mr. Charles James% name. Ile replied, because he understood Air. Connolly knew that ?cross,. Mr. STEPIIax ssid.he asked. that it might he explained to the Jury, that the gentleman mentioned was in fact Mr. Char'es James Connolly, the brother of Mr. P. Connelly. The deposition was read over to the witness, and signed. James Dignam. of Newman Street. Oxford Street. a solicitor, was thee called. He begged in the first place to estate, that he had been induced to acrompanr the officer on this occasion only at the regent of Mr. Stephen, with whom he bad hems a fellow clerk in the office of Messrs. Kaye and Prealsfiehl.and who knew that he was acquainted with Mr: P. Connollyisperson. He had no other reason for going than to Wisp Mr. Stephen. Ile then ,confirmed the evidence of the two last witnesses, so far as he was concerned, and added that there were three shots fired, the latter was a very faint report, and it smack him : there were no shots in the gun. There was a tong parley between Mrs. Brown: j and Ale. Newcombe brfoft the door was opened. Mr. Veiretintbe told her that Mr. Connolly last better surrender; she said she would endeavour to prevail upon him to do ea, but the feared he would not, he em so desperate a swan; she thought he would not be taken alien. She sighed he woutil,for be had shwa ly caused her each trouble: Michael Cripps, of Barnet. blacksmßh and headborongh. deposed, that he took Ilogh Moran, who was lying bid in the gutter on the trip of **lacy Noun. Moran had a gun in his hind. The evidepce-helag now clotted ea both sides, the Coroner was proceeding to eon op. when Mr. Nom entered the room. He said hi . would then, by the permission of the Coroner, explain the dream stance of the communication made to Mrs. Brown—or rather to Mr. Connelly. It wee highly gratifying to him to have this opportunity. He had learned the particulars einee be left the room. This Mr. Dignaui he did not know, bat he had isforisation, that it washout a messenger sent by him (Dixon). with a 100/. bill to be presented for .payment, In order that a ground might be laid for inning a commission of bankruptcy against. hits (Connolly.) It was this messenger who gin the information that a writ was out for the arrestor Mr. Conoollf. The messenger would arrive In the room ias s short time. and would prove this fact. He (Mr. Noel) 'Aim the object of the parties in making the insinuation which bad been made against him. The wholeof this muter alleged against him (Mr. Noel) •was the work of Mr. Dignain and Mr. Stephen. and they should hear of it. • Mr. STEPHZY said he did not think the remark of Mr. Noel, es applying to him, wonky of an answer; but if Mr. Noel persist-d in throwing out insulting langeage and in' sinaations against him,he winds! claim protection from the • Coroner Mr. M otu. said,that in the room he should say nothing against Mr S:ephen ; but he would see Mr. Stephen any where out of the Court. to answer any thing which he bad to urge against him. ' tie (Mr. Noel) was the father of nine children. and be felt it his duty to them to defend his professional character from imputations which bad been made against him. The Cortowas said. that of whatever might have passed between Mr. Noel and Mr. Stephen at the other end, or out of the room, heknew nothing, but he could not allow an y thing unbecoming or of an unpleasant natu re to p ass in I ris presence. Mr. Noel. professed that he bad no intention of offering any thing disrespectful or unbecoming the Court to hear. He appealed to the Coroner, whether be had not oo all occasions, where he saw him, acted ae because a gentleman. As to Mr. Stephni. he had nothing father to say, but that he mould be ready to bear anything sibich he might have to object to him. Mr. Stepleii said he wouhi reerive any communisation which Mr. Noel might have to make to him any Iherts Mr. Stephen then left the room. The Coroner sac again p:oceeding to enns op. whip • Mr. STCPZIEN returned to the room and said, that he was requested by Mr. Diem to state, that he (Mr. Stephen) bad not received any communication from him as to the residence of Mr. Connolly. The information came entirely from another quarter. The CORONER now went on with his summing up. After he, had concluded, the Jury retired; and after consulting together far an hour and a quarter. returned with the fol• lowing verdict : We find Patrick Connally Guilty of Murder in the first degree; and we find Hugh Moran, Edward Tripes, Elizabeth Brown. and Amelia Morgan, thri4 of Murder in the second degree (as accessories)." — The Jury were then discharged. It was statel in the coarse of the proceedings th , t the prisoners had been folly committed before this verdict. In the course - of the examination. a gentleman entered the inquest room. and announced himself as Mr. Minchin, of Bray's ion.stie agent of Messrs. Mil:chin and Son. at Hewport, who/wore appointed by Mr. Connolly's family to conduct his defence. He was famished with a seat at the table, Dearth* Coroner.

The Accounts of . the Revenue for . the year and for the quarter ending the srh instant, are understood to be made up, with the comparative laalance between time receipts of this year and quarter, and the receipts into the Exchequer for the year and quarter ending the sth Jan. 1523. These statements, however, have not been commu nicated by the Treasury to the Press generally; but we must suppose that some such communication has been made to the Papers in the interest of Government, from the confi dence with which they speak upon the snhject, the Courier declaring " that the account will be found to be extremely satisfactory," and the New Times even announcing that there is an excels of 450,0001. in the customs of this quarter, over the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. As the Country is natural)y anxious upon so important• a subject as the Revenue ; and as the Press, during the prorogation of Parliament, Is the only medium of cocoon. Ideation from the Government to the people, we really think that Ministers, as a mere act of official duty, ought to transmit the statement of the Revenue equally to all the Metropolitan papers; or, in regard to decorum, and to their character for impartiality, they ought not to make tb communlatioo to anyiournal ; but to publish It in the (Ada! Gazette of the Gosotry. With respect to the Treasury Journals asserting, that " the accounts will be extremely satisfactory," the same 1 has been said by the Government Papers of story annual I and quarterly statement of the Revenue that has bred I published. since Mr. Pitt- commenced his career, which ended • in the more than !unbliog of the na tionrl debt. A recent quarterly statement of the Revenue. which the Treasury papers de- claret!. as usual. to he " eXtreinely satisfactory," and to 1 exhibit an increase of receipts. was shown by the Time* to exhibit a defisiciency of some hustled thousand pounds. Figures. like geometrical problems, are known to lead to certain and Indisputable results, and it is curious to inquire, why our national accounts are so made up, that all the most able unsocial authorities in the country invariably come to different conclusions upon our Exche quer Accounts. The Courier says. " that the excess (of Gas Quarter's Revenue) will be nearly the same as in the corresponding Quarter of last year ;" over, we suppose, the quarter, ending Jan. 7, 1822. if so, the coincidence is, at least, singular; considering the nume rous differences in the data, the chatieto against such a co incidence upon mathematical principles, are almost infi nite. But if the quarteily returns of the Revenue thus go on exceeding,in arithmetical progression, the corresponding quarters of preceding years, our Revenue, ere long, will be nourishing indeed, and the Government, no doubt, will be able to give that excellent proof of the satisfactory state of the Revenue, which the President of the United States has recently given to his countrymen—v!c—ben is a surplus of hard cash in the Treasury which will psy our War Debt, without increasing the taxes upon the people Could the Chancellor of the Exchequer say this them would be no longer Any of theei numerous disputes whetting his statements prove an Inetoaeo-ot diinitution of receipts, . But of what consequence is any metro- of revenue except in its relation to the amount :of expenditure. •We are therefore told that the income of the consolidated fond (for the year we suppose) exceeds the charge by three ni:llions, but this surplus includes the payment of 700,0001. by the Emperor of Austria. It is suspicions that nothing is said of the surplus of any other fond, but we are extremely glad to find that the repayment of our Loan to Au.tria will be fairly brought into the natoinal account; for we believe that only a balance of the money Great Britain received from France by the treaty of 1814, was brought under cognisance of the House of Commons. The Government papers state that the Customs of this quarter exceed by 450,0001. the Customs for the quarter ending Sth Jan. 1823. bet they observe a suspicious silence upon the subject of Excise. It may be remembered that the Excise for the quarter ending Sth Jai. Is 2, was less than the receipt for the quarter ending January .1822, by 98.8811., and that the whole of the Exam duties In 1823 were less than in 1922, by 798,9741. The Excise forms (the only true test of the happiness and prosperity-of the people, sad where the-riesiptios customs see costiosslly en the increase, and those on the Excise are as conti tic . decreasing, and ahi it has for some time been the c4 , c in England, the political economist can draw but tli,,, conclusions, that the state of the country is unnatural and tictitious,and that its prosperity is more specious than era! The prosperity of the English Merchants is not reflected upon the community—it is absorbed in awe,' lations in Foreign Loans—it enriches foreign states' and hence, whilst our Custom House returns show an ic. creased trade, the accounts of the Excise Office testify a diminished consumption of the objects that form the enj went of life. TRIAL OF THURTELI. AND HUN I'. (RECEIVED THIS DAY BY EXPRESS.) ilzarroao.--During the whole of yesterday evening tle carpenters n ere busily employed in the Court House, the Tou2 Hall, and the avenues leading to it, in erecting strong parti tions, barriers, &c. to check the expected throng. The Court House has undergone considerable alterations. The Local Police were in attendance during the night in the Grand Jury Roonss::and the High Sheriff, Roney: Simms, Rsq. prudently, in order that the public should be accommodated, took possession of the keys of the Court, which opened at eight o'clock this morning. The rush was most tremendoui, but many of the expectants who had been in waiting all night were much ci•appointed, as the Court and avenues being filled at the first rush. Mr. Justice PARK arrived at seven o'clock, and proceeded immediately to his apartments in the Post office, the place occupied generally by him during the Assizes. The confident manner in which Thortell asserts that his defence will astonish the world, and that he will, without a shadow of doubt, establish his innocence, as. tonishes every body. It is certainly true that his deport. ment has been extraordinary, and the near approach of his crisis seems to inspire him with greater confidatce. It is stated that he has ordered a chaise and four to be really tri couvey him to London on next Wedassday.— Speaking on this subject' to Mr. Wilson in the presence of a friend, he is reported to bave said (pointing to a par. ticular door), " Wilson, 1 should like above all things, when I leave the prison to go out through that door." DEMEANOUR OF TILE PRISONERS. Daring yesterday Thartell was busily occupied wing- ing his papers; he was assisted by Mr. Fenton and Mr Jay, his solicitors. Is whom he gave instructions on various points of the evidence. He spoke confidently as to the result of the trial. and seemed to regard with pleasure the effect which; he said, his defence would have, and the amazement It would excite.. RENIOVAas OF THE PRISONERS• About six o'clock in the morning the proper officers attended the gaol for the purpose of removing the pre soners to the Coot House, aid, after some slight prelimi' naries, they were escorted from their apartments, heavily ironed, to post chaise., into which they were, uslrytred by the officers. Thurtell and Hunt were brought out first, and placed each in a chaise, and were condicted to the Court Hoare, followed by an immensity of persons, all anxious to bare a glance at the prisoners. Oa the arrival of these prisoners at their destination, Probett was the next ol.jeet of attention, and in a short tittle he was bought from the prison in a chaise and conducted into the Luart. The arrival of the Judge (Palm) and 'the varlets Counsellors io their robes, was proclaimed by the found of tramptts; and at the approach of the prisoners from the gaol, the streets were lined, 'and the spectators In pro fusion protruded themselves from the window. The prisoners were conducted into the prison yard, after having taking some slight refreshment. On Mr, Justice PARICS taking his seat, we noticed on the Bench the Marquis of Salisbury, FArl Verulsm, Earl Cowper, Imr‘i Essex, Captain First&seance, and other persons of distinction. The variousilounsel attended. For the Prosecation--Slessrs. Bohhssin, Gunomt, and BRoDERICK. For Thulell—Messrs. CHITTY and A NDRZWS. Fur Hunt 'Ad Probers—Messre. CRAWLS PHILLIPS sad Terminal'. After a -short lapse of time, Mr. irmsos, annoancet that the prisoners were in perfect readiness to ent the Court, but it was mentioned that Mr. PCNToN was absent in conseqessee of the great crowd assembled outside the doers. This caused some delay; however, whir much difficulty, a passage was made, and he catered the Court. Mr.' WILSON then led the prisoner Hoar Am to the bar. He entered with an upright and afficletili dig. nified air, and was dressed in black with white. hami• . • . ••• • • . . gije4 round obi •..

APPLICATION FOR HUNT TO BECOME A WITNEqi FOR THE CROWN. (SECOND EXPRESS.) Mr. THESSiGga now rose, and, eftrr a few observstionh suggested to the Learned Judge that his client was ready to make an athdavit relati►e to the statements he had made before the Magistrates by whom he was examined, and sug gested that his affidavit might be sworn. Justice PARK—%Yhy did you not make the affidavit at my Chamber. Mr. Tuaistoza.—What a prisoner, my Lord ? JUstice Pasts.-Oh, I did not understand yea. Hunt was then sworn as to the contents of an affidavit which WM put in, and he declared tbat the content' were true, aad that it was signed with his name and band writing, and while he was thus engaged, Thertell looked round nu him. • •,• In a Second Edition of the STATESMAN yesterday evening we gave in ample report of the proceedings of the Inquest held at Shenley Hill, up to as late a period as would enable us to furnish our country subscribers with the intelligence.
