As to the lest charge aphist his client. dun of attending with his knife and fork at the dinner given by his -:g ship on his arrival at Stafford, if he was tired of •hippin e boys,' that was no reason why be shadd tefrain fmm eating , and drinking ale. He thought on the merits of the ca , r . there suuld be no question of his client's innocence, but he was happy to add that two gentlemen hail most kindly come (rein *Stafford to give his client a character for honesty, integrity, and tumour. John Pares—l have known Jenkinstm three or foal' years. His t hamster for honesty and integrity has been uniformly very gond. Saipan Sellers—l have known Jeakinson ever since he has lived at Stafford. His general character was that of an hones; aid industrious man. Ilk Lordship suggested to Mr. Taunton whether he could press the ease against Jenkinson. He felt called up** at that late hour to say, that, as at present advised, he should charge the Jury to eiiiiis him. Ili r . TA VDT OW had a duty which he could not surrender turrets the use against both the prisoners. He then replied to the defence set tip by Cocke, and contended shortly that the falsehoods and deception practised by him, and fully supported by the evidence lie had adduced. proved the charge brought against him. As to Jer.kinsam, the Learned Counsel urged the various occasions on N.tach be bad assisted Cooke, and (untended, with much earnest. tires, fee the verdict of the Jury against him. His Lordship charged the Jury, that there was not a doubt but tnst the acts charged monomer! to a conspiracy in point of law, nor %Walt necessary that a prtriotts meeting for the purpose of coespi s&ay, should - bit proved. :,t) matter with which of the other tie f (adults Cooke hail been proved to have conspired, whether with Dig brother Jcskinson, or 'Miles, if it was proved with respect to eittnn:l. althonch tr:o of the three were not now on his trial, it would be quite ...tn. 'wit to es:abli.h the allegations on it. ream % With respect to Jenkioson, he could not think the evidence had mtzny conspirsey against him. The case cited by his Learned although it might be thought unimportant by Mr. Taun ton, appeared to him to bear in. .t shoofly upon ins evict and, although until very late il the slay he was trot disposed to think favourably of it, yet he could not now. consistently with his oath end his duty, do otherwise than state his conviction that the Jury should return a verdict of acquhtal agaiost him. With respect to Coolie the cue was ertirrly different. His Lordship said he had Liken 241 full folios of notes this day, and, if the jury had any doubt n the subject, he was certainly bound, late as it was, to go through toe stridence at length. He ass perfectly ready to do so. Several Jurors said they were quite s.stistied, and there was no 0.-trash for his Lordship td do so. His Lordship thought this the most outrageous case that had fever come before him. He called upon the Jury to recollect that we were living in a country governed by law, and that if arbitary nets such as those proved against ('ooke were to be tolerated, there was DO saying what property would or would not be sate from the operations of persons similarly disposed. He thought that the act of caospiruy was not fully proved as to Alike, but that it was so with the brother. The July, after five minutes deliberation, retooled a verdict of 041 against I. mi.e and acquitted Jenkinson. IRELAND. QUEEN'S CITY ASSIZES Frura the Frerweam's Jimeraul.

Mt. WALLACE openeu the VIM. He was placed, he said, in 'the no Ter) enviable situation of Counsel for the Prosecution in .acne' of the most important eases—perhaps, he might truly say, 2;'. wARt iropmunt—which had ever been submitted to a Jury we the Queen's County ; it was important, not merely as it affected the bees of the crowd of prisoners who then filled the dock, but also because it afforded an opportunity to repot and to refute that too prevalem,and most mischievous error,which, though i utterhy destitute of foundation, was hourly producing so much evil': 'he meant the opinion, that there was in Ireland one law fur Cie powerful and the protected, and another for the destitute and ths poor. Judge MOORE observed, that whoever asserted so was a libeller sof the administration ofjustice. Mr. Wattica agreed with his Lordship; he had already called ii an error, and a mischievous one, and he was most firmly per waded, front no experience of now not a few years, that there never sae an error ors prejudice loss founded in truth. The verdict of the Jun, and the conduct of all persons concerned in the trial of that day w.uld, he hoped, give to this error the moat convincing and corclu lave refutation. That such an impression, however erroneous and mischievous as it was, did prevail, scarcely any man who laic any . thing of the peasantry of Ireland could doubt. If any may of it were wanting, perhaps the very fact of his being now MMus them as Counsel for this prosecution might afford some imagine of it. 'lbis case had most properly been taken up bj the Crown, as a proper one fur the Crown officers to pro secute. He ( Mr. Wallace) was not honoured be-the %pi/dente of Mel !town in this. or In shy other Crown prosecution. The Crown coneded that duty to his Learned Friends, with whom he now acted, and who, fur many years, had discharged the duty with credit es themselves, and to such a manner as fully answered the studs of public justice. " Why then," said Mr. Wallace. " am I ao* stating this case to you, which could be much more efficierdy dam by one of the permanent Crown Counsel 1 Why ant I ob truded upon them in such a ease, in which 1 tun unable to afford Mehl: any aid, and is which they most certainly need none? Gentle. Men, tho reason is this—the miserable and widowed mother of the aroused, to whom be was m vole the dearest object of parental Love, and the only stay and support of bet declining age—this un fortunate woman, though seprisid that the Crown had taken up the prolecution of theme men, whom she charges with the barbarous and wanton murder of her son—and that, therefore, the prosecu uott would be curled on without expense or trouble to her ; yet trim she had adopted and acted upon this vulgar and most unfound ed emir to which I have alluded. Looking at the men whom she Maros with the crime, she saw them in the garb of public officers —elle taw them with arms in their hands, entrusted to them to pre. min the public peace, though they were used, as she alleges, to perpetrate her son's murder. She saw them under the control and sada' the protection of the Magistracy ; and she MR the body to *sids they belonged then in communication with the Crown officers, &Miry when Crown prosecutions are carried on. In her ignorance Oilier folly the cozceived that a prosecution of men so circum stanced, even by the officers of the frown, would not be such a otoreacution, so rigid, ardent, or zealous, as the vengeance which hfirson's blood called for, or public justice required. She, tfilirefore, acting under the same error—the same prejudice—taxes her toistrabhe means, and offers a brief to other Counsel. I ratrowledge that I have reoeived that brief, with full—with coo . most firm conviction, that she was acting under a false =don, which I remonstrated against in vain. 1 have tit it my duty, however, not to refuse a brief in such a .tome, theogh - handed to me by such a wretched client, and rapt by the Crown Solicitor. But, in doing so, I feel it but etsclee. - not indeed to my Learned Friends, whose talents, whose mead judpnent. learning, integrity, and discretion, in their rei puosible situation, place them above any panegyric of mine ; but ffrillee tit myself to say, that I have the most firm and unqualified • .41t.sietion on tny mind, that notwithstanding the situation in which rib ,pri3ooera stand, in tonne:ion with the Magistracy and the qfficers of the Lovercment, my . Learned Friends would not only Ifilvo saupulausly discharged their duty . in bringing them, if guilty, to punishment, but that, if any alteration were made in their con- Matt in consequence of such circumstances, they would be but the more vigilant, mote minute, and attentive, to investigate and tg e before you whatever evidence night fairly be laid before a . , to bring home the charge. But, Gentlemen, admitting . as I do, that I stand before you in consequence of this error judiee so unfounded, and so injurious to the administration nPlistict, 1 yet hope that good may follow from this superfluous to and idle caution of my wahappy client. I hope, nay indeed 2 conf i dent; that should these unfortunate men be acquitted ( , if they are innocent, I do front the bottom of my soul hope may be acquitted), that acquittal will, under such circum. 1 . 1 14 01 1 1 1, be above suepiciern, even in the minds of the Moat sospl. i:'.06111 and incredulous ; and, though a death shall appear to have ttgicn place, they will be convinced that that homicsue was not ttotrder, and t' -at, for that reasonsinly, the guilt of warder will Jorj attach to then:, nor the disgrace of their being guilty of it at. tech 10 the body to which they below,. It is 1' niptbew la lay M you the facts width we shall seek to istabliA in eiidence; but (dose, miler me as impress upon year minds, that the object : rod, in stating the facts of a criminal case, is not to per 4tede yo u to believe that such facts did actually take place—o is . Moiety to enable you to understand the evidence—that, by knowing Oat the sffence charged is, you may the more efl,..etually be ens- Eifil to sir: are. examine the witnesses who shall be produced—and silkstfora the stvement which I shall sobinit toyou, or any observe. I 'OWN which' shall bematle upon them, ought to be utterly disregarded I ilusyrni, noless so far as they shall be supported by evidence of winch cannot rationally entertain a doubt—for you must feel that it is 16 better that use murderer should escape unpunished, than that a : should incur the danger of committing several, by the con. of these men, upon evidence which, if it be doubtful, may tor'false. It is neecesury, in die Met place, gentlemen, in such a We as this, to call your attention to the particular situation and she af the prisoners—for, as the crime charged is warder, and the rtotel on the othe' side will most probably rather endeavour to i uee the homicide lir low the guilt of murder, than deny that the h Ade was committed. you must take into your consideration all sais nonanees which can 'end to show the state of mind, intend*. motives of the accused. You are aware, gentlemen, that thee 'been lately introduced into this country a species rifirrce fir ./ oak mown to as. It was supposed such a forte would be use , or have a tendency, at least, to preserve the public peace. ether it has done so or not, is not now the proper tams to in. . Of this new _Pete, the prisoners now in Inc dock appear, the them in which they now stand before you, to be a pet. are men who had got arms into their hands, and were fed and ip td by the public, to assist in the pre s e rvation of the p ublic : • and in the administration of justice; t h ey should therefore ee been, much more than ordinary men, guarded in their cen t ' Ot, and circumspect to avoid' the commission of any offence. The eular nature and constitution of their . body made this still ' necessary. They are a body of men partaking of the nature the canimon law constable and the commoo soldier. With those '•• lines many points of similitude, but some very important ts of difference. Like the common law constable, their duty -t under the Magistrate, hi ohering his lawful commands for , e peace; and, like the common soldier, they are the Magistracy as a public line, strengthening the • thePolntsoftlifferenee are mast material, and Amp hew much more strict a hand antht tube bad over them than over a mere constabulary force, and how much more dangerous they arc than the cenin.ua I,.iliatry force could be when acting among the Kings subjecte. 'ice common law constable is a civil officer, armed only with his pucka-slot, the crown upon which is at once the em blem of his autnerity, and the only force with which he is armed. Much an officer can eiairtely by possMility commit a murder while. in thagrofee.:d di-:charge of his duty ; but the l'ofire constable, armed with eye' y %isecies of minted weapon, gas, ward, bayoatt, and pistol, muy tailict death at his will, and ulna the slightest r ye. vocatiau what) may rouse his anger. Agrio, though the common soldier, like the poli. e constable, is armed witn mortal weapons, yet the soldier is restrained by the severe and sun;niary regula tive§ of military Lire. There to a mutiny law to bring the Acad. hg soldier to cendign acid incet speedy punishment; while the 'noire constable, though aimed with the power to bytirt death at pleasare, is yet antenabk to no late tot Mat which other sobjeets of the state ere gvvermed by ; and to the tedious and costly remedies which that law affied§ can the person outraged alone resort. The police too, are at least in Iles county. under the control or at the disposition of so oat man who is rerpaasibk to the nadir far their coadact ; they are, in fact, appointei by, and are tooter the com mand of, the 11agutrates, or rather oh any Magistrate, who nay, by illegal, or inconsistent, or contradictory Orders, cell upon them to act. Sach a constitution mast le a dangerous one, and may be Frain-five of Nina serious alisehi.fi This very case demonstrates the existence of these &miters; for in thin case it will sower to you that some of the Magistrates hating enteral into a resolution, fo have al public Lours cleared of their visitors by ten o'clock each night, the prisoners were acting so police Ofiecto, in enforcing obe dience to tha. order, when they (outwitted the crime which we al lege to be murder. In estimating the guilt or innecettee of the rumen, that feet, end ell the other circumstances coucected with it, meet, so doubt, be taken into account. N 1 all tont view, the ilagistrals if the Queen's County (for whuni, iectividitilly or • collectively, no met too a more prutound reliect than I have) 'trill permit me to ray, that Slut order sews I , CVLTiIy ificend that they laid no shadow of jorisslictiors or poser to pronozoce or to enfant rack an order ; end that therefOre the men it: the bar, when they entered the house where the alleged murder wcs committed, entered it illegally and as tresparrers ' aid for the purpose of doing an illegal act. Tee into:idea of the Magistrates was, no doubt, ; good. They could have no other. But goodness of intention only will no legalize a Magisterial act; and therefore, the erisunerr who acted, so far as related to their entry into the house, uncles orders, must abide the legal not seq tenets of having acted without 'arm shade:* of authority. But merely entering without lawful au ; thorny would be but a trespass. The guilt of murder must flow Ifrom arGtht: SCUM. The connexion of these ..an with the I.lla gistrates, therefore, in this alleged murder, I urge for another rea j It is this : that sellers use Magisteutes of a great comity send rem armed with deadin weapons, and with a power which, ! to the jpraramtry, must le irresistible, among that pearl:dry to I enforce an order likely to produce violence or resistan:c—it is but justice, or at least common charity towards these Mmes. testes to believe, that they would rot so send them without first • I impressing moat deeply en their minds the necessity of caution ' and furbeerence, and temperance, in the enforcement of such an I order—and if such caution and such oleic* were given, the men I who, acting wider such an order, should, without provocation, t 'how a fierce ad bloody disposition, it waist be etrotig proof indeed that they woe actuated, if not by ate particular nadice, yet by such bat:son-us disregard and contempt for human life, as would, in case of death happeeino, constitute warder, and deprive them of all pretence that they had acted hastily, and from the heat and frailty of nuttiest passions. Such, gendeinen I am destructed, you will bad the case of the prisoners to be. 7/ se portiralar facts, as they are dztailed to ace, arc them et—On the 12th of August last, being the fair-day of liallinakill, the prisoner', as polite constables, fully Armed, and accotupanied by several others of the police, not DOW on their trial, about tea in the evening, went lArciagh the pub. lie horns to tzpel the visitors. I have alretaly stated that such order and such purpose was umworraated and illegal. They didArst entered the house of one lalor, from which it is said they sot expel all the visitors; from thence they proceeded so the house of one Fitzpatrick, a Was tweet/eat character, and in which the al leged murder was con toil. They found in the kitchen, otter having just paid his reckoning, John .31• Daniel, a brother of the deceased; be received them civilly, and with gust goad humour obiterved, that he was sorry he had just finished his tumbler, or he would be glad to ask them to drink with him." Two of the holy then proceeded up stairs where they paved through an outer into an inner room, and stain, found there three countrymen with h a lf a !ambler of beer before rime of ,hem. One of them, he who had the beer before him, with the benignity of heart which characterises the Irish peasant, said to them—•' Gentlemen, I am sorry my beer is just out, and I have nothing to ask you to drink, but let me call tor cachet pot of beer and share it with us while we are paying our reckoning." One of the policemen, whom I un. defined to be Sergeant Myriam' Le, refused to let the quart of beer be sent for; steel then the countryman said, " then, lads, taste at Joist the little that remains in the tumbler." Kt teosatue declined, but [heather drank, and then Kt:resume went into the outer room. One of the three men in the inner room, and he who had asked them to drink, was William Maher, a brother-in-law of the deceased. It, appears Bunt what I have said, that at this moment all was peace, civility, good humour, and good nature ; no indication of resistance, or hos.inty, or of any thing that could excite suspicion or anger. Kingunill lett the inner room, he found in the outer room four persons, the deceased, his sister Mrs. :thew, an unmarried sister, and a young man of the name of honing, who was a lover of the girl ; arid 1 understand they were at that moment, the Ince ther and the lover, arranging matters for the marriage of them two young people. Xi et as t Le addressed the deceased, and said " you must quit 'the deceased replied, " we have paid our reckoning, and only wait for our friends in the inner room to pay their reckon ing and we sludl then go." Kt Nosey t. replied, Isbell take care you shall not go out in company ; you must go alone." The de ceased said, I Daily don't want to delay, I am ready to quit, but as they are paying the reckoning in the next room, they will not be a mention, and I Oral( lists go." You will have to consider, (hen. denten, whethereisis most raasorrabk request was or was not a sum. cient provocation, fur the brutal assault which the Policemen int. mediately mnele on this young man. who though perhaps he was not perfectly sober, after retieshing himself when the labours of the Fair day were over, you will hind was not drunk. I take the liberty of sayieg, under the correction of his Lordship, that even though the Police constables were executing a legal order, which they were rot; and if this young man were quits intoxicated, and used ac tually offensive language, which he did not; yet the circumstances would afford no justification for what was immediately done by the Policeman, and which subsequently and almost instantly, led to what we allege to be a barbarous warder ! —Gentlemen. on this expression being used by the deceased, and without further parley, the Seeking seized the deceased by the collar, and drugged him from the seat on which he eat, towards the stair-bead, sod there made as (Sint to throw him stows the stairs ; the deceesed, how ever, was able to resist that, and is doing so laid his hand to the Serjeant'a shoulder, on which the Scrjeant loosed his hold of de ceased, and saying, " you rascal, how dare you lays hand on me?" seized his gun with both hands by the barrel, and with n blow of the beat-end on the shoulder, near the head, knocked the de ceased down. All this was but the weak if one or (Lai 'ninnies ; while it was going on die people in the inner room had paid their reckoning, amounting to one shilling and sixpence, and the body of the Police betas stuirs hearing the woiw, came up, and seeing the deceased rising, after - having been knocked down by the Serjeant, and in rising endeavouring to catch hold of or strike the Serjeant, they instantly with their guru, sword., and boycotts, ferocionsly allaclad this sprat flied man ;I owe rialberi him with a bayonet is the belly, near the navrl; anclher stabbed him with a bayonet iu the rye, and pear:rated through the orbit of the rye into the brain ; while, with a eword or swords, they indicted trcel,e other wands on his h ead! All this was dune alnsost 1111 the mow I vsmirt. And white these preservers off/se peace were :indicting those wounds, which they did without interruption or Yosistaree. except *tam the unfortunate deceased, so far as he was "able to make any resisnance, the deceased's brother was attracted from the kitchen by the noise, and in going up was wounded by 1 one of the policemen on the stairs ; the three men from the inner i room hail also come out, and then, but unfortunately not until the mortal wounds were given, endeavoured, by . renionetrance, and at last by blows, to rescue the deceased from their bloody bandit. The two worsen were also in the room ; and it must be remembered 1 that on this OCCIIIaTa not one qc the flair men had even so muds as ! a selfe/c ix their Lards--they were all perfectly unarnicd ; the for of the partiFis therefore stuod thus, even at the termination of their bloody busmen :—Four unarmed paaballt% and two women on one side, sodea she onbortoa polite soldiers, armed with SWOrda, guns, pietole, and bayonets ! Is the death thus iritietcd msrder 9 That ! is the question you .are to try. The deceased had at least two' mortal wounds inflicted by the weapons of the armed men. The police soldiers (as might naturally be expected) were uninjured--1 no wounds, no ktjuo enataioed by any of them! The deceased, however, did no die on the stun When they were interrupted in! their work of blood and violence, the unmarried sister, assisted by some one (1 de not know by whom) took the unfortunate victim down stairs, covered from top to bottom with blood—his own blood only! tie was instantly carried away, to save him from further' violence. He died in a day afterwards. The Police, idler some: time, and before they quitted the room where they had thus mangled the body of this unoffending young man, primed and loaded - their pieces: they then marched down, and departed from ' the house. They, however, in a shoes time, recollected that they had not quite cleated the house—that they had only attacked mangled the unarmed man whom they had all assailed, and they thereat returned to thehouee to finish their work.'l'he door had been locked—they insisted on re-athniesionard the door wasopened—they then took possession of the three non whom they had left behind, John 11191htniel, William Maher and the other; and timee three they handcuffed and dragged as felons to the barrack, where they' were kept lOr tie night, and the next usoruiag, or next morning but one, they were takes to a distance of mine miles, before a Magi illoga, Mr. Price, who. on hearing the accusation front those eery men who had committed this crime, he dismissed the three psi. saner.. Such are the facts of' the cote you are to try. I ihnuld rather say, such I am instructed are the facts that will he proved. But, take them not trout my statemeet—l do not vouch for their truth,-1 may be deceived by my instructionc—l may have taken a wag view even of the facts that shall be proved to you. One thing only I vulture to affirm, that if these facts shall be proved, and if they were accompanied by such circumstances as t sin *eructed, this MIS( be a cruel, unprovoked, and wanton murder, committed by the prisoners when acting as public officers, but without any legal authority, and unqualified by any thing to dilute or mitigate the crime from murder to manslaughter. On what grounds will ley Learned Friends rest the defence of their clients? am happy to find they have Couneel, numerobs, learned, and acute; whatever defence law can suggest, they will secure for them. But, to me. I know of only three heads of defence to which they' an mon. Theyintint .either say this act was done in advance ment of law, by public officers, discharging a duty—Of that it was done in se//.dc/race—or that it was an act ono which they were be trayed in use heat of an affray, and mutual quarrel and combat.' Itierielernen, I think it impossible but that all these defences must fail them. Ai to their having acted in fitrtherathe of law, I an ewer, first, they had no legal pyre se to enforce. or order to exe cute: the order was illegal, and afforded no justification. fie wildly, that even if theyhod legal process and a legal order to enforce-, they lost the protection which the law would have given them in the fair discharge of that duty, by the wanton and unne cessary, and barbarnes violence which they resorted to. With regard to sell-degenceje is a mockery to talk of ten police armed tioldi,•i being ohliged,ln defending themselves against one unarmed pee sant, to take the life of that pzasent. If, instead of being elute, he had been inn paroxysm of rae:-, could they not—could not at least the ten, lieve seized and imprisoned him ? His Lordship will tell you, that the infliction of death in self-defence can never . bejustifiert, nor ever be reduced even to manslaughter, but when that death is necessary to self'-defence. Here, what necessity could there have been louse so many mortal weapons in the first instance, And in a moment, against an unarmed, nay, even against the tour or ten unarmed men, until at least an effort to arrest had been made P And, with respect to the third head of defence, heat of blood and affray, &e. is it nut plain, if the facts be as I have stated, !and if not so proved, all I urge goes for nothing, that there wu nothing to provoke—to in-hate—and that there was no affray, un- I less the mailing of an unarmed man by armed men, be itself an affray, to warrant the infliction of death by those armed men on the unarmed ?" Alt. Wallace then, by a variety of arguments, showed the impossibility of any of the fans in this case amounting to a justification, or even extenuation a the offence of manslaughter, ecrieding to any legal principle, and concluded by again earnestly I exhorting the Jury to attend to nothing but the evidence, diner. garding any observations which turd fallen from him, that should ! be until - ported by full proof ; but expressing his hope, that if the evidence mune up to the statement, they would fearlessly find that verdict which juirticeealled fur. BOXWELL Esq., M.D. proved he bad attended the de. • erased before his de ath, and that he had examined his body, apes which decrased had received fonrven bayonet and sabre wounds; one of these wour.ds had been inflicted by a triaegular weapon a lila above tht ward, and owe in the ldt eye, which had penetrated its orbit, argil entered the brain, and which the Doctor believed to have been the cause of 111• Daniel's death. I BRIDCET WDANIEL, sister of the deceased, proved that she ' was in comnany with her brother, in the house of James Fitz. patrick, of At - Ilinakiil, on the Itsh of August last ; about the hour : of ten o'clock at night, the police entered the mom where her bro. thee was sitting, and desired hint to pay his reckoning and quit the house, which he said he woad do as soon as the company is the • hater room would tome out ; the policeman said the deceased should !not srait.liir any person, and some of them seized him by the breast, upon which deceased desired them not to drag him ; one of thepo. !icemen then struck hint with a gun ; a number of Policemen Im lniediettly rushed into the room iron below stairs, and every one of tros struck her brother with one weapon or other ; she saw one of them diaw hie bayonet and the rot it into the body of the deceased. Donor Maher Patrick 11i:4n:trick, William Maher John Jrneuitl,and ..4..rundcr Phelan, severally corroborated the testi ' lawny of L:idget :11'1/aide]. The defence urged on behalf of the prisoners was, that the Ma ! phi rates had caused general instructions to be issued to the police, to ckar all piddle homes of their visitors at to; o'clock at night, and that, acting in prrnsance if these ituttruelions, they had en ! tend Fitepateices house on the night the deceased loot his life ; I thaAise had refused to obey the orders of the police on that night, a*l.chat, la consequence, an altercation and struggle ensued be tween him sad Kingemill ; that sonic countrymen, who were in the house, took part with the deceased whiab caused a general fight between , them and the police, and t hat, in the quarrel, the de. Iceased lost his life. After a most perspicuous and able charge from the Learned j Judge, who explained the law un the subject, showing the distinc. doe between wilful and deliberate murder, manslaughter, and ho t micide in self-deletice, the Jury retired for about half an hour, when they ae.mitted the primness of murder, and found them—Ged/ty of Iltfaosliceghter !! The PititenCe of the Court was as follows :--Kingstnill, Har i wee, and Dalton to lee tea:nip:nod for life ; Walpole and !links to Le transported for fourteen years ; and Owens to be transported for seven years. SIR JOHN PIIILLIMORR, R.N.. C.B. AND MR. ✓AME.S, THE NAVAL HISTORIAN. Mr. James, (says a Seedily Parr) ft seems, unfortunately for himself, has " stirred up the spirits of the angry deep" by some of his statements in his last volumeitthe bill of his Naval History. end the course token" if *I. are correctly informed, towards this author, if tolerated in society; wet silence any fatale commen tator, who dares to narrate publid even% with an inflexible in difl.erence to individual consequences. That any commentator can escape either error or censure is quite Inconsistent with the received fallibility of human judgment. The Peet, &century ago, truly said, " 'Whoe'er a faultless piece expects to see, Hope% what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be ;" and the law of libel, as well as the severe (though indefensible in a moral point of view) etiquette of personal responsibility, one would hope would be found to impose sufficient guarantees against Nton and undeserved aspersion. ot so, it would seem, with Mr. James ; for at half .past two o'clock on Friday, two persona in the attire of gentlemen, knocked loudly at the dour of his house, in Chapel-fields, South Lam. / The door being opened by a female *avant; they inquired if Mr. James was at bone ? Belo& answered in the 'Seemly, they, without further ceremony, advanced along the passage, toZneds a assail parlour which terminates it, at the door of whtelt they were met by Mr. James, who had been sitting with Mrs. James to the room, and was proceeding to see the fisheye, whose inquirihe had overheard. The two persons who bed entered were immediately invited into the parkin' by Mr. Japes, and asked to sit down, which they declined, but remained with their hats on in his house, and in the presence of a lady. One of them, without waiting to inquire if he was addressing the author of the Naval History, pro. ended in a veltea.ent tune, and nearly choked with rage, to apply the coarsest terms to the N'aval History. lie said "it was a scoun drelly and a rascally . book," and that " he would ins's& upon the Adutualty prosecuting it." He muttered some complaint about t he account contained in the last volume, of the action between t he Eurotas and Clorinde English and French frigates, and said sat the statement respecting the men being unskilful, or not naught the use of their guns in the former, was a " rascally" 113- count ; and that Mr. Janice, in making it, was himself "a scoun drel." The latter, who had turned over the pages of the book. which lay on his table, upon hearing the Eurotas named, and who had endeavoured to expostulate with his interrogator, requesting him to point out the t bjectionable passage, which however his rage prevented him from attending to, became naturally irritated at the violent epithets bestowed upon bins, retorted upon his assailant, and called him " a liar" for defaming him with such language ; upon this the intruder brandished a stick, which neither the servant nor Mr. or Mrs James saw with him when he entered, and therefore suppose he had it concealed under his coat, and I smock Mr. James upon the head and cut him • a scifflieensued, and the noise brought back 31re. J., who had retired upon the first en trance of these individuals into the parlour ; she grasped the stick, which the owner %rested from her hand, and while Mr. James was in the act of dosing with him, the other individual who secant. ponied the assailant, but who took no part in the previous business, pulled Mr. .1. :may from his friend. Mrs. James upbraided him with not interf:erieg on the occasion, and called out to the servant to bring a conatable. The sound of the staff-bearer's came had a violent effect upon the stick holder's detertnination ; for he, in company with friend, took to his heels, ran out of the house, awl Framing the 'ante rapid pace, which attracted the attention j of some passengers, ran to a hackney-coach which they had left at the top of the street, and drove off in the direction of Stockwell. I They were personally strangers to Mr. James, who repeatedly re quired their names during the scuffle. The individual who ac tually committed the attack gave no card, but muttered out the name "Sir John ;* the other persevered in refus ing to give any. There is a Post-Captain in the navy of the name •of Sir John Phillintore, who is a Companion of the Bath, who has lately arrived at Portsmouth from South America, and whose per son resembles the individual who caller! on Mr. James. Upon the presumption (which we hope will prove incorrect) that he is the per . son who made this attack, Mr. James took out a warrant on 1 7 .idayjnight, at L which the officers executed on Saturday, and the individual was bound Over to appear, and answer the charge of assault made by Mr. James. The companion of Sir John on I this occasion was also a naval officer, and a warrant is, we under ' stand, also issued agents, him. We subjoin the account of the pai -1 titular action, in page lid of. the.Bth volume of Mr. James's %wok. It is supposed that the conclitaing part of the narrative, I which relates to the imperfect training of the turn to their guns, was that against which the violent animadversion was directed. In various parts of Mr. Jamerer-work, he is swamis to chew that j one of the great tuna, for the superiority of the Ainenage voids, 'io many instances, during the late was, arose from their having 24. pounders, while ours were only . 18 -pounders. Now, it appears, fluitalthough the Eurotas stands in the Navy-office books, as hav ing been seined with Congreve's 24-pounders, she had, a few days j before her action with the Clorinde, exchanged her twenty-fours j for eighteens. This fact of the exchange was not known at the time by Mr. James, nor was it ever ineutiontil in the Naval Chro- Weir (vole 31, p. 184), in which en account el the action appeared, so far back as 1814, and had Slane remained unconrrailicted. With the double authority of the official books, and an historical account ' ur.cuouadicted since 1814, Mr. James considered that he was cur rem iu assigning the ship 24-pounders ; be drew his inferences re specting the cilect of the guns upon the enemy from that assump tion ; anti, it in supposed, this mistake respecting the calibre of the metal, scathe reisionicg upon it, led to Sir John Phillimore's as upon the author. But Sir John ought to have seen, had he read the account io Mr. Janies's book, that full justice was done in the narrative, net only to the gallantry, but to the intrepidity and the skill of Ins brave and indefatigable crew.

But l iITIIOTAS AND CLORINDE. " On the Itth of January, at 10 o'clock in the morning, island of St Anfooio, one of the Cape de Vents, bearing S. L. by $., distant 8 of l leagues, the British 38 gun frigate Niger, Capt. Peter Rainier, and 36 gun frigate Tagus, Capt. l'bil. l'ipon, with al convoy to company, steering to the westward, discovered nearly • hcad the Frei.ch 40 gun Ingate Ceres, which, in company with the Clurinde, had nailed from Brest early in December. Both British iiigates proceeded in chase whit a light breeze fmm the E. S. E., the Niger leading. Towards evening the Cerra gained in the pur suit., but on the Niger's throwing overboard WO shot, the latter got near enough at 11 o'clock to lire three shots from her bow charier,. On the kb, at half past one in the morning, the Niger tired two more shots, which the Ceres returned from her stern guns. As the day opened, the wind drew to the north east, which so favoured the Tagus, that at half past seven o'clock she passed the Niger, and was gaining fast upuu the French frigate. At a quarter past eight, desirous to try a different paint of aarling, the Ceres shortened sail and hauled to the wind on the starboard tack. As • proof that the French ;rigate gained little by this, in half an hour the Tagus gut within ion-shot, and hoisted her ettlours, opened a are, winch the Ceres, hoisting hers. presently returned. A running fight now commenced between the Tagus and the Ceres, and continued until half past nine ; when the latter had her rigging and sails a good deal cut, and the main-top-mat and some of her other masts in. jnred. The damages of the Tagus were confined to her sails and rigging ; and neither the French nor the Englis.h frigate sustained a greater 100 than one Iran wounded. •• It is uncertain on what day previous to the capture of the Ceres, her consort the Clorinde parted couiprmy, but we find the latter on the 2:oh of March on her way to Brest (describing the latitude), after a tolerably successful cruise. It was at two o clock in the al. ternoon, when sending close hauled on the starboard tack, with the wind et S.W. by South, that the Clorinde was descried by the British thirty.eight gun frigate ' , Argus, Captain J. Phillimore, then on the former's weather-beam, steering by the wind on the larboard tack. The Eurotas quickly bore up in chase; and, at hall past two, thc Clorinde, whose rational chi :sent and force was by this time ascertained, also bore up under a press of sail. At four o'clock the wind shifted to the N.W., and tell considerably ; but the Eurvtas, nevertheless, gained in the chase. About the same time the Clorinde, then not quite four miles distant, E.N.E. suddenly shortened sail, and endeavoured to cross the hawse of her pursuer. This only hastened the junction ; ard, at three quarters past four, the Emotes fired a shot, and hoisted her colours, as did also the Clorinde. At five, haring bore up, the Emotes pr_ssed under the stern of the Clorinde, and tired her starboard broadside; then, lofting up under the latter's quarter, the British frigate re. ceived so close and well.direved a lire, that in twenty minutes, just as she hail reached the larboard bow of her antagonist, her titian-mast fell by the board over the starboard quarter; as, nearly at the saute time, did the fore-topmast of the Clorinde. The French frigate then, shooting a-liead, endeavoured to cross the bows of the Emotes, with the intention of raking her. To evade this, and at the same time lay her antagonist on board, the tomtits put her helm hard a.port, and lured up; but, being obstructed in her manceusre by the teck of the nnzen-mast, she could only pass close under the Stan of the Clorinde, and pour in her larboard broadsides. --- The two frigates again got side by side, and cannonaded each other with redoubled fury. At twenty minutes past six the Euro. tat, thrn close on her opponent's starboard brain, had her main. mast shot away ; and which, fortunately for her, fell over the starboard or unengaged quartet almost at the satre instant, the misemnast of the Clorinne came down. At fifty minutes pest sir o'clock, the two ships being nearly in the same relative situation, the foremast of the Eumms fell over the starboard bow, and, in a niinute or two aftera.irds, the mainmast of the Elorinde shared the same fate. _ _ The Eurotas was now quite, and the Clorinde very nearly ones. nageable. In this state the latter, at ten minutes past seven, when on the former's larboard bow, set the remains of her foresail and her tore-stay sail, and stood to the south-cast of gun-4111ot. Capt. Phillimore, who since the early mot of the action had been danger. ously wounded in the shoulder by a grape-shot (the loss of blood front which, according to a published statement, had caused him to faint three times on the deck), now consented to go below, and the command of the Eurotas devolved upon Lkutenant Hobert Smith. The boats' masts wete i 111 l nediately stepped on the booms, and the sails set, to endeavour with a light westerly breeze to keep after the enemy, still in the south-east. The wreck of the masts was now cleared away, and preparations made fur getting up jury. masts ; meanwhile the ship laboured much, owing to her dist:muted state, and a heavy swell from the westward. By meat exertioes through die night, the Eurotas, at flee o'clock on the morning of the 26th, got up a spare main top-mast for a jury main-mast, and at a quarter past six a fore top-mast for a jury fore-mast. and a rough spar for a mizen-mast ; the Clorinde still preserving tne same line of bearing as on the preceding evening, but having incr;mcd the distance to nearly six utiles. At half.past eleven the Eurotas spoke the English merchant schooner Durigarvon, from Lisbon to Port Glasgow and requested her to keep between the former and the Clorinde, and in the event of the Emotes not overtaking the latter before night, to show a light and fire guns. At noon the Eurotas and Clorinde were about nine miles apart, but in so different a state with respect to ability to renew die action, that while the latter had only partially cleared away the wreck of her main and mizen masts, the latter had jury cour.es, topsails, stay. sails, and spanker set, going with a northerly wit d six knots and a half through the water, and evidently gaming in the chase. " But just at this moment, as Captain Phillimore observes, to the great mortification of every one on hoard,' two Rail were des cried on die lee bow. The nearest of these was the British 36-gun frigate Dryad, Captain Edward Galway ; the other the 16-gun brig sloop Athates, Captain Isaac Hawker.* MirriiiOn. At about a (porter past one, the Dryad having neared the Clerinde, the latter hoisted French colours aft, and English forward, a'al despatched a boat to the former, who shortened sail to receive it. The pur. port of the French Captain's (minting him) communication, as it has appeared in print, was to require terms before I,e would sur render. The doubt expressed by the French officer, as to the ship in sight to windward being that which had reduced the Clorinde to such a state, was far from being unreasonable, considering that not only had a night intervened, but the ship now seen was masted, rigg-W and under sail, while the ship engaged the evening before had been left as bare as a hulk. The French Lieutenant was quickly sent bark to the Clorinde to get ready her " resources," and the Dryad filled and stood towards her, to give her an oppor. tunity of trying the effect of them. At thirty-fire minutes past one having placed herself on the Clorinde's qoarter, the Dryad aired one shot into her, when the French frigate very ropily hauled down her colour; and was taken immediate peweeeelon. aA At this time the riffbad was between four and lye miles to sold ward, and the Adieus about the same time to leeward. Out of a complement of 330 men and 2 boys, the Curettes had 2 midship men, first class volunteer, 13 seamen, 4 marines, and I boy, kil led; her commander (very severely), 1 lieutenant of marines. I midshipman, 30 seamen, and 6 marines, wounded: total, 21 killed and 39 wounded. The Clorinde, out of her complement of 344 men and boys, according to the aprescetation of the French officer that boarded the Dryad, had 30 officers and men killed, and 40 wounded. From the great proportion of killed, it is probable that only the severely wounded are here reckoned. Comparative force of the combatants.

Vet, with a distance that would even have suited carronsdes, these 24-plunders did not do so much execution, in proportion to the time they were acting, as had been done on many other occasions by an equal number of 18's The ship, it is true, had not been quite ten nionthe in commission, but even that was long enough for the men to bays been taught a few practical rules of gunnery. Deficient as the crew of the Curates may have been at their guns, they were by no means so at the various other duties of their calling. the quickness wi:h which the seamen refitted their ship, was as great a proof of their spirit as it was of their skill ; and contrasted with the evidently unprepared state of the Clorinde, eighteen hours after the battle, shewed hi a very clear manner the superiority of a British over a French crew. It was the capabilay to go a-head and ma: iravre, thus gists, th,it would again, in a very short time, have brought the Curate' along side of the Clorinde ; and it was a perfect readiness to renew the action, with (owing to the preceding day's two hours practice at the guru.) an actual increase of power, that would have made the Clo rinde the prize of the Eurotas, even had the Dryad not interposed her unwelcome presence. The act of the Dryad, although it cer tainly robbed the Eurotas of her trophy, went a very little way towards dignifying the tittrretaler of the Chitin& The latter, as we have seen, did not return a shot to the one fired at her by the Dryad, audit is s quation if the Achates alone (a brig which on a former occasion had shewn that she was not to be daunted by a French frigate, even with more than one mast standing) had sum moned her to surrender, the same result would not have happened. No imputation. however, ran rest upon the French Captain. In the action of the preceding day he had fought his ship, cot only in a very gallant, but a very skilful manner, as the dismasted state of ' the Eurotas, and bee loss in killed and wounded, sufficiently testified."
