What they were. Ile should state them for their information The fiat was a breach of the articles 19. 22, and 23, of the Naval reenlattons, on the 9th August, which :elated to the dispute with . y ;Celli ; the second was disrespect to the Captain, about the 12th Most ; the third eel disobedience of orders between the Itlth :Input and 29th of the same month ; this embraced all the trans antenna relative to signing the orders ; the fourth was for making alterations in the log.book. With respect to the three first, the was of opinion that they had not been sufficiently proved ; a decisiod, which the Learned Counsel imputed to an erroneous noprusion prevailing in the Navy that when a man has been re. lamed from an arrest, a court-martial has no power to inquire into is: the fourth they found to be true in part. The Learned Counsel west on so say, that if he proved what he had stated, of which he Wad no doubt, his client would be entitled to their verdict. Lieutenant Kelly, examined lir Mr. SCAttLETT.-1 was First Lieutenant in the Tweed t there was a quarrel between Mr. Hanna foul 4nd Lieutenant Hargood between Madeira and Rio de Janeiro. They were aftewards reconciled. I made a complaint to Captain lititin of the conduct of Mr. Hannaford on the 7th Aug. 1 was requested by him to put it in writing. The affair, was first Investigated on the quarter-deck. [The complaint as written was here put in and read. It detailed a series of trifling squabbles be tween the witness and 31r. Hannafonl.l I don't know of any thing that happened between flannsfarti and the Captain in consequence vf this. On the 12th August Captain Bunn. on the deck, com plained that too much water was expended, and asked who attended the serving it out. Hannaford said he did not know any thing ahem it he said so very sharply, and I thought disrespectfully. H., then, as officer of the watch, proceeded to male some altera tion t.: the sails. I, as a seaman, knew that alteration was not ne- C,..31Y, and directed him to leave them as they were. He then went down into the cabin. The Captain was in the cabin. He re turned shortly after, and Captain Bunn with him. I explained the circumstances to the Captain. The Captain said. Ilannaford lad too much tongue and too much lip. Hannaford said he wished the Captain would put him in arrest. The orders were issued after the 12th of August. I was present on the 14th, when he was put under arrest. He was liberated on the 17th. He was brought up in the custody of the sergeanted-arms, when the Captain said to him, " you are now to do your duty as master, and consider /ourself as a prisoner at large." Ile was put in arrest again on the ..Ist. Un being asked about the alteration, he said "it wag a copy of the log-board." I think Lieutenant Hargnod ass standing by. He afterwards slid the latter pert of the line was dictated by Lieu tenant Hergood. I do not know whether this was before or after the log.board was brought. On the list, after the clew were aseembled, the Ciptain asked, " Have you signed my orders?" and handed the boob to him, which he signed at the tame time, adding. " that he still begged leave to dissent from two or three of tl4 orders." Cross-examined by Mr. 131101:011AM••-1 wrote the Captain's /eon containing the charges against the plaintiff; and at his re quest made some alterations. Captain Munn did express doubts whether I ought not to prosecute the plaintiff: The documents to which the Attorney-Oer.cral had referred in bit address to the Jury were here put in and read. Mr. Baca ott m replied. The Loan CHIEF Jurrict summed up. and the Jury after retiring foe about three quarters of an hour, returned with a verdict Ito the plaintiff—Da:rages, 2301. The trial, which was one of great interest, partly because of the fvistuires of the case itself, and still more perhaps from the circum stance of the defendant being brother of the Foreign Secrets'''. Canning, occupied the Court from half-past nine in the morn. lug till near ISCVZII in the evening. ADMIR.ILTY SESSIONS, Funs, Dec. 23. These Sessions commenced to.day at the Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. Lord Stowell. Baron Graham, Mr. Justice Garr lee, and a Bench of Civilians. There were only three prisoners against whom bills of indictment were preferred viz. John Greenland, for the murder of W. How titian, on the high seas ; J. IV. }left, for stealing 25000 dollars, on board the ship Tartar, and J. Smith, for stealing 24 gallons of The Grand Jury having been sworn, and the usual procla mation made, Lord STOWELL delivered his charge to them in the foffosing terms : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury—l feel it my duty to conform to the prescribed usage of addressing you upon the present occasion. I will not, however, dilate upon the general duties of your office, as your knowledge and practical experience will render that unrecessary. I shall therefore proceed to make a few observations relative to the business which is about to be sub mined to your consideration. There are but three cases which are likely to occupy your attention, two of which. are of very great importance. The first, in point of magnitude, is a charge of murder committed upon the high seas, under circumstances of pearlier aggravation, the nature of which I will briefly state to you, obeirving, by the way, that a Coroner's Jury have returned a verdict of ' Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." It is represented that there was a boat occupied by six persons who had been detected In smuggling transactions, and which boat was seized by some persons employed in the preventive service. A person properly armed was put on board the boat by an elhcer of the revenue cutter, with such orders as his superior offi- Ce 7 thought proper to give him, and this person was thrown over beerd and +lowed of life. The inquiry resolves itself into two pewits, first, whether a murder was actually committed; and second, *bother ale party indicted was the person who committed it. That the unfortunate man has been dewived of life by some means or other there can be no doubt. The great question therefore is by whit means he was deprived of It. It is not necessary to prove that tt'e person charged was the actual person who committed the offence; for if the murder was committed by another, sod he was present aiding and assisting, he is equally guilty ; indeed, every persoperson on board is equally involved in it. The law to prevent n on board in eqnally involved in it. The law to prevent .Ucit trading is one of great antiquity, and necessary for the safe collection of the revenue and die protection of the fair trader. In deed the most able writers have vindicated its necessity fur those purposes, among whom were Mr. Justice Blackstone and Judge Forster. Gentlemen, you will have the case more fully explained 14 yon by the witnesses. and I feel perfect reliance that you will pay that attention to it which its great importance demands. The next CaPC, gentlemen, is also one of infinite importance. It is a charge .r staling property to a very great amount, and the person charged his been guilty of a violation cf the confidence reposed in him, as iee was the Captain's steward, and by virtue of his office ought to have protected the propey. This is an o ff ence of very frequent ...... - urrence, but It sel dom happened that a case of such magnitude was presented to the consideration of &Jeep—Having made a few general observations the. Learned Lord dismissed the (hand Jury to their chamber, to proceed in the examination of the witnesses. Mr. Law made an application to the Court relative to Captain Christie, who had been tried at a previous sessions on a charge of committing an assault upon an officer *longing to a King's ship, and obstructing him In his duty, when taking volunteers from his it2hrhories) vessel; the Jury acquitted the prisoner of the assault, but there was a question reserved as to whether he was not guilty fio: obstruction in point of law. The Learned Gentleman said that Os anent hail been at large •n recognize/ices which he was most snxines to discharge, as lie was going a voyage next month, and would be absent for a year. pt:geJUDGES said shot the Lord Chief Justice had made no re e them on the eubjer I. lir. Lew then moved that Captain Christie (who was in Court) =iglu be allowed to depart on has own recognizance. 'file Coen granted the application. and permitted bum to depart until the next Sessions, upon the understanding that the recogni maces should be enlarged from time to time. The recognisance, of his sureties were consequently discharged. JAN Greenland stood capitally indicted for the wilful murder of V. or. Bowlike% belonging to the King's Preventive Service, on the high seas, oil the night of the 9th of ()etcher last. The KING', Ai) VOC•TI (Sir C. Robinson), the SOLIC ITOR x cut AL, and 3lr. HORACE Tales (Counsel for the Admiralty), conducted the prosecution; and .Ir. A not.eut: s, Mr. BROUS- Rica, and Mr. C. PittLtirs, appeared as Counsel fur the pri- SOCK. The Ruses AnvocATE stated the case to the Jury. Ile ob it Awed that the evidence to be adduced against the prisoner was eireemstantial, but was, at the same time, of so complete a nature, that he thought the Jury would consider it fully sufficient lir support the charge, sod to bring home the aime of murder to Nee prisoner. The Learned Advocate then detailed the facts as tiny wens afterwards deposed to by the following witnesses : Oast,* Edward York, examined by the Societ eon-Greg. a55....4 anus scam',, belonging to the Ramifies. In October last I was stationed at Folkestone; my employment there was as upper num. I had bren on that station two years previous to October. know the prisoner perfectly well; he is • boatswain ; he lives at Folkestone. I have had several opportunities of becoming ac qoainted with him. After I was relieved from the pier a little after twelve at noon. of Sunday, the 'Jth of October, I walked up the pier and met with Greenland the prisoner, who was dressed :a a white gaberdine, sad had on a covered hat. There was an, h=r man with him. They were going down towards the beach. The priso n er had a pair of pett'coat trousers and a jacket in his hand ; the other man also had &jacket and trousers under his arm. I then went up to the batt er y. I returned In a few minutes, and went up to the ramparts to witch the boats that were going off. There I saw the prisoner and about five other persons carrying ballast flags to the water's edge. They laid the tlsga on the beach. and returned up to the full of tile brief, , and there they launched the beat Yentas. The full is above '.Ah-water mark. The boat lied gone by different names, but it was then calleil the Venus; she was perfectly white outside, except the ground for her name on the stem, which was painted black. They then put the ballast fags into lux and went on board. I saw the boat go out to sea. It vs out of the surf, and sailed towards the south. Another haat left the harbour about the same dine, called the Po of Dover. The name on the Venus was Henry_ Butcher; I cannot sty whether Itatcher was one of the crew. The prisoner went into the boat lust 's .d acted as cockswain. This was about noon, on Sunday the Stn. I did net see the Venus ems back. A little before one o'cieek on Mender morning 1 raw the Venus at Folkestone, to which place she had returned. Tire further examination of this witness was postponed. Lieutenant Cele, of the Ranulier, examined.-1 am cxployed the Prev,entive Service, and was stationed on the 9th of October at Use 17th martello tower, at Dungeness. I went out on the evening al that day in my Ole", manned with four men—John Howlihan, John Shecarnan, Patrick Itnyle, and Thomas Walter. This was raisin.* quarter after eight. I had hail no information nor suspi cion of any thing, but was going out on a search. The night was dark and cloudy, and there wee a moderate breeze from the west. High water was at nine o'clock. I rowed to the westward, to wer& the Iferring-hang, and there I observed a boat to the seaward, bout 199 rods from the shore. I rowed up to it, and the men in THE BRITISH PRESS. white boat ; the prisoner WU in her ; saw the prisoner before that time ; know the Po ; she came in atfer the Venus. A witness of the name of Jordan corroborated the testimony of the former witness. The Po came in without a rudder. . . Lieut. Hillard examined by Mr. IL command the naval force at Folkestone ; I land Lieutenant Cole examined the Venus. This witness corroborated what was already deposed respecting the rudders of the two boat... This 1121 the case for the prosecution. Mr. Baron Un ARAM then called on the prisoner to say if he had any thing to urge in his defence? The prisoner handed in a written paper, In which he asserted his innocence, and that if he was guilty he would never have exposed himself so openly to the officers and men of the preventive service, to whom he was well known, anti that the evidence against him amounted only to a suspicion of guilt. lie appealed to the Jury for a verdict, and reminded them that their decision would consign hint to an ignominious death, or liberate him from so serious a charge. William Holmes, the first witness called for the defence, was ex. amined by Mr. Attotrtins—l was one of the Coroner's Jury which sat in an inquest on the body of the deceased. The coast Is ehelving where the body was found. There are quicksands there. r I heard of several men being drowned near that place. It is called the Herring hang. I know the Frivoler ;he was at my house during the inquest. I saw him two hours after. He has the character of a humane man. Thomas Dring. iiretreatvri;neas, a grocer at Primehurch, cor roborated the testimony of the last witness—He saw the prisoner at the funeral of the deceased. There were forty-nine of the pre ventive service in the procession. This closed the prisoner's defence. Itircto summed up the case. He commented on the evidence on both aides, at much length. Ile said the law was that, when any number. of persons engaged in an unlawful un dertaking, and murder took place, the hand of every individual who was present was the hand which committed the murder. It was for them to consider whether such a case was made out against the prisoner. The Jury retired for about an hour, and having returned into Court, found a verdict of Nrc' Guilty. The Grand Jury having thrown out the bill against John Whiter 11tH, steward of the ship Tartar, indicted for stealing 15,000 dol. Las, were discharged: George Smith was tried for stealing 25 gallons of rum, the pro perty of John Jones (Captain of the Arcadian) upon the high seas, near the island of Bermuda. The only witnesses produced against the prisoner were the Captain himself and a shiproate of he prisoner. No witnesses were called for the defence ; the Jury, however. found a verdict of Not Gritty. The Court broke up at ten o'clock. WINTER HOME CIRCUIT. SUSSEX ASSIZES, Lerms, Dsc. 22. John Barrett was indicted for assaulting Maria Ford, an infant five years old, with a leathern strap wad an iron nail, intending to commit murder. Other counts varied the mode of stating the pri. soner's offence, and there was a count for a common assault. This case excited extraordinary inteteet, from the tissue of un natural barbarity and savage ferocity which it exhibited. Mr. Lowo stated the ease for the prosecution, and presented to the Jury a narrative of frightful brutality, which, for the honour of human nature, is scarcely to be paralleled in any Christian country. The prisoner was a labouring man, about 35 years of age, living in Cavendiah.street, Brighton. He was a member of the Society of IVesleyan 3lethodists, and was employed by that Society as a teacher of the younger members. Two or three years since he mar ried a widow named Ford, who lived at Poole, in Dorsetshire. Mrs. Ford had by her first husband three children, one of whom was the infant whose treatment was the subject of inquiry. On the second marriage, these children were left in the care of some relatives at Poole, until the month of July last, when they were brought home to their mother at Brighton. At first, the prisoner treated them with kindness, but after a abort interval his conduct became al. tered. Ile appeared to be a person of an ungovernable temper, which manifested itself on the most &Mal occasions. The children were often beaten with severity, and sometimes wantonly stinted of food. Maria Ford, the youngest, seemed to be the peculiar object of his hatred, and from his continued ill-treatment, no reasonable doubt could be entertained that he meditated her death by lingering tor ture and suffering. This helpless infant was almost daily beaten by him with a razor-strap, armed with a nail at one end, the effect of which was to bruise her tender limbs and lacerate her skin. Sometimes the instrument used 11.16 a rattan cane, a yard in length and two inches in circumference. with which she was beaten in every part of the body, in a manner calculated to terminate life. On some occasions, during the absence of her mother, he locked her up an entire day in the coal-hole, without light or food. In one instance she was confined in this manner from a Monday morning until the Wednesday evening following, without any sustenance whatever. But the climax of the prisoner's barbarity, and which was decisive of the deadly intent charged in the indictment, was the practice of seizing the child with one aim, flinging her up to the ceiling, and then letting her fall on the floor with her whole weight, at the imminent peril of dashing out her brains or mang. ling her limbs on the spot. At length the child's wasted form, and apparently declining health, roused the neighbours to apply to a Magistrate, when the prisoner was apprehended, and a full dis closure of his unnatural conduct took place. The child was now presented to the Court, but from her tender years, was not sworn. Her appearance betokened long suffering, and, though considerably recovered from the effects of such con tinued ill-treatment, her con:Minion was visibly impaired. Jane Ford, an intelligent child, seven years old, sister of Maria, being found, on examination by Mr. Baron HuLLocx, capable of understanding the obligation of an oath, was examined, and proved the case as stated by Counsel. Ha evidence was corroborated by that of Elizabeth Ford, an elder sister, aged nine years, and by some other witnesses. The prisoner, who did not ask any of the witnesses a single ques tion, was then called upon for his defence. Ile did not deny what was alleged against him ; but endeavoured to extenuate his of fence of being wholesome and necessary correction. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. The Assizes ended on Thursday afternoon. EXECUTION OF JOHN SMITH, alias CROKER, FOR HORSE-STEALING. CHELMSFORD, DEC. 2. Yesterday es the hell of the prison tolled the half hour after nine this ill-fated young man terminated a short but aggravated career of crime. bong previous to the hour at which the " dread fiat" of the law Is generally carried into execution, the streets in the vici— nityof the scaffold were thronged with a multitude of persona wait ing in anxious suspense the appearance of the wretched criminal. During the preceding night Smith remained up in his cell, not. withstanding every argument was used to induce him to retire to rest. The greater part of it was consumed in perusing the Bible, and listening to others in doing so. At eight eclock in the morn ing the Rev. Mr. Hutchinson, the Ordinary of the prison, was in attendance, and spent the time until the moment of execution in like pious exercises. At that hour the finder-Stteriff; Mr. Mason, entered the prison, and the executioner proceeded to pillion his arms, after which the melancholy procession passed from the chapel to the place of execution. In his progrees thither scarcely a change was perceptible in his countenance. His step was firm and un faltering. until he reached the platform, and then, and then only, was an alteration distinguishable ; his eye-lids dropped heavily and apparently involuntarily. He addressed a few words to the execu tioner, begging him to make his sufferings as short as possible. In a few minutes the bolt was drawn, and he was launched into eter nity with the dying apostrophe of " Lord be merciful to m soul" lingering on his lips. Either owing to the shortness of t he drop ' or the animal strength of the unfortunate man, his struggles were long and dreadful ; a thrill of horror passed through the assembled spectators, and the executioner was obliged to seize the criminal by the feet, and put n termination to his sufferings. After hanging fur the space of an hour the body was cut down, and being placed in a shell, was removed into tbcchapel, waiting the arrival of some friends who were expected to convey It to London. Smith's ap pearance was that of a petwon in the middle and respectable class of life. He was attired in a fustian shooting jacket, fancy waist coat, Prince's cord breeches, and top boots. Since his condemnation, is is but justice to hie memory to say, that he evinced the deepest sense of his criminality, and the most anxious sense of repentance. On Wednesday evening his father paid him a farewell visit ; the interview, as described by the per sons who witnessed it, was of the most agonising nature. On thst I occasion the father Implored of him, if there was any thing on his mind to mention it, and if he had any accomplices in his crimi nality, by the discovery of whom they were to make some atone ment m the offended laws of his country. To the request he in variably replied, that he was alone the guilty person, and that no others were implicated with him. the boat attempted to get away. I distinctly saw something let go from the beat, and Immediately heard a splash in the water. I had &tinging buoy, with a sinker to it, in my boat, which 1 threw overboard, to mark the spot where I saw the splash. I went along side on the starboard quarter of the boat, and asked her name. There were six men on board. Some one of them said it was the Venus, but I cannot ray which of them, nor in what part of the boat he sat. All the men wore white smocks, or gaberdines, and the boat was painted white. I took away the boat's rudder. I did not go on board myself, but I directed my but to go to the stern, in order to read its name, but all I could see was the letters " ston." I then anchored my galley, and desired Howlihan to go on board the boat, *ad directed a cable to be put into his hand, an I that he should keep bold of it. I also ordered him to take his arms ; he took his pistol, hut the boats separated being he could reach his cutlass, and I said " Never mind it." Soon after I put liowli han on board an alarm was made from the shore, and I imme dircely rowed to shore, leaving How Mien on board the Venus. This gentleman's further evidence was also pole poned. Thomas Walton, a seaman of the Rattan, having confirmed Lieut. Cole's statement, added—The man who sat at the stern of the Venus was the prisoner. I had seen hint before that several times when I was stationed at Fort Southward. I knew his per. sou well ; I did not know his name. Lieutenant Cole asked the name of the boat ; the answer was, " The Venus, of Folkestone, John Butcher." The person who gave the answer lan the steersman, the prisoner ; he was sitting in the steerage. I laid hold of the boat's quarter ; the prisoner laid hold of our galley ; the prisoner and 1 were thus close to etch other. lie wore a white gaberdine end black hat. One of the hoat's crew put his foot into our galley, and said, " Are you going to take us into your boat ?" lieutenant Cole answered, m. No, not yet, till I have got your tubs up." I don't know who that man was. John Shearman gave Howliban • pistol after Howlihan had gore on board the boat; this was the only arms Howlihan had. The prisoner handed the rudder of the Venus to Lieut. Cole, at Mr. Cole's desire. We had a creeper on board our galley to raise up tubs ; a creeper is an iron instrument, with prongs, to drag the bottom of the sea. While we were lowering the creeper, we heard an alarm on shore, a pistol shot. Lieut. Cole then ordered us to haul the creeper, and to row to shore. We did not raise the anchor; Howlikan held the cable of it in the other boat. We rowed to shore, and found four tubs of spirits there. We heard some men running up the beach; we pursued, but did not overtake them. We then returned to the beach, and Lieutenant Cole with three men went on board the galley and proceeded to sea. I re mained on shore with the spirits. I was sent to the beach at two ' o'clock the following morning, by lieutenant Cole. I found the body of John Howlihan lying on the beach at a place called the Branket Bay; the body was quits dead. I removed it up to high warier mark, beyond the reach of the tide, to the top of the beach, and left it on the station of • man who was posted there . Next morning, about nine, I saw the body again, after it had been brought to our boat house. The surgeons examined it there. I had returned about five o'clock in the morning to the place where we had let down the anchor and buoy. I found there the sinker belonging to the buoy, the anchor, and part of the cable. The cable had been cut. The buoy ha d been cut away also; it was gone. I found 34 tubs of spirits near the anchor, and an enter. There were five other men beside the prisoner and Howlihan in the boat Venus. I gave a description of the prisoner nest day to one of our Lieutenants, Mr. Helland, and to John Shearman, one of our men. The next time I saw the prisoner was on Thursday, the 13th, on Folkestone Pier, between three and four in the afternoon. A man named Mathews, who was along with me, laid hold of him. I said, " you are the man I want." The prisoner attempted to get away from Mathews. I then came up, laid hold of him, and said I seized him in the King's name. lie said he would not be taken, and struggled to get away. His clothes were torn in the struggle. His hat tell over the pier. We succeeded in detaining him. Croat-examined by Mr. ADOLPIIU s —There are many white boats at Folkestone. Sometimes • wrong name is given by boats when spoken to in the night. I left Fort Southern, where I become acquainted with the prisoner, in June last. I saw him there a week before I left it. I examined his boat then. I did not know his name. I had no particular conversation with him ; I only asked him to allow me to examine the boat in which he was. The night of the 9th of October was rather dark ; there was moonlight ; it not very dark, I could see 20 or 30 yards off. There was a little rain ; quite light enough to ate a man's features, if close to him. I dad not mark the face of any other of the boats' , crew, so as to be able to recognise it again. The prisoner's face I I WAS close to mine. All b ut one h a d w hite g a berdines; all wore I white hats. lam positive the prisoner wore a black hat. a glazed one. The spot where we left Howlihan in the boat was 200 yards from high.water mark. I was not the first person who saw the dead body ; it was lying on the back, on sand and stones, as if it had been washed in. I did not say before the Coroner that I saw and knew the prisoner. I was not then asked a question about the prisoner. The body of Howlihan was buried on Wednesday. If the body had been heaved overboard on the spot where we left the boat it would not drift so high up shore. The place where we arrested the prisoner was quite public, resorted to by a great num ber of persons. The finding of the dead body was then well known at Folkestone, yet the prisoner appeared there, walking uncon cernedly. I did not know till after I bad given evidence, and left London, that a reward had been offered for the discovery of the murderers. Lieutenant Cole was recalled, and examined by the SOLICITOR. GENERAL.—When the alarm was given I went on &here. Two of my men had been assaulted. One of the men in the boat asked me if I intended to keep them all night, using a vulgar epithet. I said I would till I got the tubs out. 1 took away therudder of the Venus, and kept it ever since in my possession. I chaced the panics on shore for about twenty minutes. I left NVaion on shore, and pulled off shore in search of the boat ; remained in search till one o'clock. but I did not find her. Made signals with flashes of powder. Not having found the boat, I returned to my station, No. 27, Tower. I saw the body of the deceased about nine o'clock in my boat-Rouse; the boat's crew took it there. Went to Folkesmne on the 25th. Messrs. llligh and Randolph, surgeons, examined the body in my presence. I saw at Folkestone a white boat, with " Venus of Folkestone" on her stern. I went to Folke stone on Wednesday ; saw the Po also. The Venus corresponded wi h the boat be saw on the night of the 9th Oct. The rudder which was then in the Venus did not correspond ; it could not traverse freely ; it did fit the Po exactly. The witness proved that the rud der he had in his possession fitted and exactly corresponded to the Venus. and that to the Venus corresponded and fitted to the Po. The two boats were differently painted. The buoy was sunk ten or twelve miles from Folkestone. Might take two hours to get bark, with wind and tide favourable. Cross-examined by Mr. Baongaicx—l took the rudder froth the boat I came up with, to disable her. She could be steered with an oar. No rails in the Venus. The body must have been thrown overboard near the shore. Ile got possession of the rudder. One of my men took it to my quarters. The man could not have changed it. John Shearman was next examined by Dr. ARNOLD—Found some lines and bread and cheese in the boat ; said to Shearman in the boat, before I went ashore, that I should know the men again. I cannot say Lieutenant Cole heard me ; I saw Lieutenant Cole ten minutes after I saw the body of deceased; I did not then tell him I should know one of the men. 1 was examined before the Coroner; I did not say, on that occasion, that I should know one of the men. It was nearly high water when we came up with the boat. The flood tide flows to the eastward, the ebb to the westward ; it was half ebb tide when I saw the body. I saw the prisoner on the Pier of Folkestone. It was publicly known that a man had been killed ; never heard of any reward. Patrick Doyle examined by Mr. te iracE TWISS—I went out to sea with Lieutenant Cole. I the rudder taken from the Venus to Lieutenant Cole's quarters. Lieutenant Mlatiod examined by Sir C. ROBINSON-1 am stationed at Mlddlestoke. On the 9th October, 1 observed firing to the westward of Mr. Cole's station, and proceded with Juhn Hardy to the eastward. I heard a shrieking noise—a man's voice; also a noise of oars, and such a noise as persons would make by a fight taking place in a boat among a parcel of men. It was very dark. Thomas Carrick examined the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-1 am in the preventive service , an d am stationed at Blanket Ray. On the 9th October heard a noise; shortly after saw a boat pulling in; beard wine of the men say, " heave him out ;" saitl, by more than one voice; heard nothing said against it; the boat was about thirty yirds distant. It was • white boat. Heard a pop in the water. The boat immediately pulled out to sca. On hie croas-examiaation he said he was never at sea. Knew nothing of the phrase " heave about." !Bichsel hfahnny examined—This witness's testimony was merely to identity the body of the deceased. He saw the body on the 9th October. Ile took charge of it. Thomas Johnson sworn—l relieved the last witness. heft the body on Me beach at three o'clock in the morning. Thomas O'Connel, examined by Sir C. lion' xsox.—l relieved Johnson ; kept charge of the body till six o'clock; Thomas John. son relieved me. John Taylor being sworn, said he waisted to take the body to the boat-house. Alexander Blighe. examined by the Sot ICITOR-GENEDAL—I lire at Dungeness. I examined the body; I noticed several bruises on the temple; saw several minute wounds; I mean wounds of small latent. I saw no wound that could in my opinion cause death ; there was an exubetance of mucus from the mouth, and some coagulated blood about the head, which I think proceeded from the wounds on the temples. The instrument that caused the wounds must have had a triangular point ; the body had the ap pc:Jaime of having been immersed in water: the wounds could not bane been produced by friction against the shingle. nor by the fall. John Randolph, surgeon, examined by Mr. Twtsa.—l examined the body; it had the appearance of suffocation by drowning. The wounds on the temeles were caused, in my opinion, by a weapon with a knotty irregular surface. A difference of opinion prevailed between Mr. Adolphus and the golieitor-General, as to the propriety of proposing a question to the. witness as to the description of weapon that was useJ, and which Mr. Adolphus characterised as a means •• to trick a man out of his life." Tbis expression was warmly resented by the Solicitor aeneral, who said h 2 disdained, heats' (runt him to an MIMS_ aurabie distance su foul and calumnious an imputation. Mr. Anotetrus expinined. He said he had no intention to give offence to his Learned Friend.

The examination of the witness being resumed, be said that he could not positively any the wounds were not produced by the shingle of the beach.

SUELTON, Esq., on view of the body of Henry Moses, late a private in the Ist battalion grenadier guards, found drowned in the Thames. The'Jury bring sworn, were conducted to where the deceased lay, greatly disfigured, haring been in the water, it was supposed, nearly a month, but no marks of violence were discernible. On their return the evidence produced was that of the deceased's wife, • very fine young woman, overwhelmed with grief that nearly choaked her utterance, and pay-sergeant Samuel Pearce, of the 3d, or Colonel Sir Henry Hardinge's company of the regiment the deceased belonged to ; the former of whom stated, that the de ceased left his home at about ten o'clock on the morning n the Stfid of last month, as she thought to go to his work, as tailor to the regiment he was private in • he had laboured under a depression of spirits, for which she could In no way account, fo r three weeks previously ; the day after he quitt e d h er s h e met a b oy w h o knew Min, and h told her he had seen him that mornirg standing on Battersea-bridge, with hie eyes nearly starting from the sockets ; gaining no tidings of him In any quarter she offered a sovereign to have him dragged for, in the belief that he was drowned, which unhappily proved to be the cue. The poor creature became nearly convulsed, and was ordered a chair. Mr. SHELTON—Ate you satisfied it is the body of your late, husband 1 1 Oh ! yes, sobbed the afflicted woman, I knew it by the hands. Sergeant Pearce paid the deceased from the time of bin entering the regiment ; he was a very line and steady mug M3ll ; OA 01: 23d of last month he was reported absent, and returned as a de serter ; yesterday it was reported at the Tower that a soldier was drowned, when .pitness recognised the hotly by the shirt on it, marked by witness himself; it was only lately known that he was married, it was without the consent of his officer, whose permis sion he had never asked ; he was 25 years of age ; he was picked up at St. Olave's Stairs. The Co ROT/ ga said, that although from the wife's account there was reason to suspect the deceased had been accessary to his own death, there was no evidence to that effect, and it was for the Jury to say, in the absence of further testimony, the verdict they thought right to give. Arerdier—" The deceased was found drowned, but how he came into tin water was unknown." NAVAL INTMLLIGENCE. IFrom the Plymouth Journal.] The arrivals during the past week from abroad have been limited, and vessels from the westward have been kept out of the Channel by strong E. and S.C. winds, from which quarter it came on to blow violently on Monday morning, at about one o'clock (it having pre. viously veered from W. to II .S.W.) and continued a hurricane tin about ten A.M. Towards the afternoon it gradually subsided into a moderate breeze at E.S.E., which caused several sail of home. ward.bound vessels to put into our harbour, and spare their canvass till a more favourable breeze at IV. should enable them to proceed up the Channtgl. Amongst them was the fine American ship Acute. one of the line of packets between New York and London. The shipping in our different roadsteads rode out the gale in safety.
