THE PRISONERS AT HERTFORD. lIEITEDID, MONDAY EVENING. From the rombre appearance of the town, it would not A ppear that any very strong excitement hail been created be the interesting tnal that takes place to-morrow. To be the Inquest at Shenley has attracted a very large share of attention, and may, therefore, be supposed to di vide public interest with the approaching trial. Yet there isnot that inquisitiveness amongst the strangers and lobs 'litants here, which one would suppose to exist at the eve of a trial which has been bruited front one end of the, country to the other, with the most sedulous industry, by 'the press and other channels of public communication. The attendance to-morrow is expected to be very full, and the same difficulty prevails as to the attainment of tickets for the ('ourt-house. There has been very little alteration in the manner and deportment of the prisoners. Thurtell condom li to the pr. sent meneent as ri salute, firm, and un bending. as he has been since the period of his co tttttt itment. lie relies with confidence on the establishment of his per '4:et innocence at the trial, and, indeed, his confidence is N an ntly xu great, that apprehensions are now entertained, fiat should he be convicted at the trial, he mar, before annuli, be hurried into a fatal act of self-despeir, ithcr of his solicitors have, as yet (four o'clock) ar i ed, and he ,naturally expresses much anxiety and irpzise, at their protracted abseur*. Mr. Jay has been .re only once, and Mr. Fenton twice, for a short time each visit, since th • postponement of the trial last month. the gr. at fight between Spring and Langan b. ing likened to hion, be said, "be once took an interest to se matters, and would wish diet be was as safely over trial ashy was we his friend Spiiug would be over his with Langan." On the committal of Connolly he mentioned to him, he a, reared to know him, but did express any opinion upon the subject of his cast 6 or ace an anxiety to know the particulars of it. The same f-pcssersion and fearlessness continue to characterize his demeanour;tk and whatever/nay Ise the result of the 1, be appears at least M. etuMeaplate it. with hailifferena, I evert act and word of his bespeak him to be a man et " has a heart for any fate." Hunt continues, as therto, at intervals betraying symptoms of fear, and again sinning confidence in the compromise into which he al -Ihe has entered with Government. Mr. Harmer, the idtor, is the only person who has visited or inquired et hint since Itis committal. Mr. Hamer is not at pre it here, hut is expected this evening. It is true, that int sang several sons—" The Death of Nelson," " Tell I love her," tke., but neither he nor ant of the prhso- TS exceeded the beverage of a pint of ale, 'which was ai red them on Christmas-day, by the Rev. Itoctor Lloyd ; . it is !I singular circumstance, that neither he nor any the prisoners have * on any occasion, called for spirituous goon of any kind since they have been committed. Con nolly is very much depreared at the present situation in which he is placed : he is confident, however, that he will be able to justify his conduct in a court of justice, should he be brought to trial. As to the Coroner'a inquest, he expees a ver 'ict of murder will he returned against him, but he does not /CCM to attach much importance to the verdict, should it even be so. Ile has. frequently inquired after the manner in which the.ann of the' unfortunate Grainge was amputated. He asserts that his death is attributable to the unskilful ness of his medical attendant, anal expresses confidently that if he had undertaken the amputation, his life would have been saved. Breakfast has been ordered in the Town Hall for the prisoners from the Half-moon Inn. The High Sheriff hues this day with the Sub-Sheriff. Mr. ,Justice Park does not arrive until this evening from London ; and the trial commences precisely at eight o'clock in the mooning. It has been here rumoured—but we trust, for the cnour of the administration of justice * as well as of hu in nature, that the report is unfounded—ahat the ?aegis ites have ordered a drop to be prepared,- in anticipation the execution. The assertion is too revolting to be be 'veil ; but I asked in a quarter likely to know the fact, if wax true, and regret to say, I could not procure a sada, contradiction of it. ANOTHER POEM' EXPEDITION. In addition to the official statttncut from I:eneral Codd, following particulars have been received of another of diamovery to the Lend of Promise:— be recollected, that previrourly to tiao rotors of *a onto:. _Jrcivora of Ale tiro party of settlers that were induced to go Po) al N . ant . l before the public atatement of their nikfortunes party had set oat in the brig Skeene, commanded by Capt. . This rant consisted of above one hundred aetthra, who went maunder siinilar prvipects and representations to those which had induced the others to emigrate. On Wednesday the brig Skeene, which took out the last consi derable party, arrived at Blackwell, and landed fourteen unfortu nate emigrants, amongst whom were two widows with their A: chil dren and an orphan, in the moat deplorable state of wretchedness and suffering front the effects of the climate. This brig, we learn, arrived as near as she coutd go to the place called the town of an ii, place, which iiireprevenioil •a so convenient for tralc, , -mg fund inaccessible to .up ping.

The pawns of the wretched widows and their children sufficiently attest their misery. • The utmost maim is given to Captain Wilson, who, on one particular occasion of an accident during the voyage, by great bravery preserved the ship, and he throughout acted towards the emigrants with all the care and beret•olence that might he ex pected from a brave humane titan, and au utficer of his Majesty's navy. • . Mammon-110r itr.—Yesteidar several of the above unfortunate persons, who returned In the Skcene, attended before the Lord Mayor, and detailed the methods which had been resorted to to induce them to embark for the Poyaia territory, and the wretched ness and disease which awaited them at the land of promise. The statements made to the Lord Mayor were exactly similar to these published some time Attlee. One of the emigrants stated, that it was highly necessary to publish the ease: as two other ships were now &vitally fitting nut fisr a similar voyage. The cases of the un fortunate widows and children above mentioned were particularly alluded to, as the individual were greatly distressed. His Lord ship sail he had no doubt that by publicity being given to the ease, relief would be afforded. The late Paris Papers contain an account of 'an extra ordinary pastoral letter from the Ciudinal Bishop of Tou louse, dated ROACH, ISth October. It is addressed to the Clmy, and to the faithful of the diocese governed by the , Cardinal, and contains his instructions and the expression his sentiments.

The Governor, 'Martinez, put an end to it in a few hours with the intrepidity of a true soldier; the punishment was prompt and severe, and proportioned to the crime—twenty three persons, of whom two wete officers, and twenty-one \cc serjcants, were immediately shot, as the accomplices tail promoters of this affair ; but through a wise policy with relation to the actual situation of the colony, the soldiers awl corporals were all pardoned.

FATAL OCCURRENCE IX RERTFORDSHME. SHENLEV-HILL, MONDAY EVENING. The subscription for the widow of Grainge goes on very snecessfully. It now exceeds suf. Mr. Stephen, the at torney for the prosecution, this morning subscribed SI. A general sympathy for the unhappy woman's condition pre vails throughout the neighliourhood. Mr. Noel, the solicitor of Connolly and Mrs. Brown, stated, early in the day, that an action of trespass would he instituted against t;:e Magistrates, and Mr. Stephen, the solicitor for the prosecution, for the invasion of the grounds at Itabley-house. In the course of the day, Mr. Minchin arrived form London with Mr. Charles James, of Regent-street, the brother of the prisoner Connolly, for the purpose of taking upon himself the management of his defence. Mr. Min chin belongs to the respectable firm of Minchin and Co., I of Gosport, who are the solicitors of Mrs. Connolly, the I wife of the prisoner. Mr. Noel was temporarily excluded from the room by the Coroner, on the ground that the evi dence tended to implicate him in the alleged guilt of his 'clients; but on the explanation he gave at the close of the day, be was allowt4l to resume his seat at the table. Mr. Noel was on terms of intimacy with Capt. Nestor, and slept at Rabley-house during the time he attended in this neighbourhood as solicitor for the prosecution of the persons charged with the murder of Mr. It'eare. The following is the copy of the notice, he intends to serve on the Magistrates to-morrow: — " I do hereby give you notice, on behalf of my client, James Nestor, of Rabley-bouse, in the parish of Ridge, in the enmity of Hertford, Lite a Captain in his Majeaty's 13th Regiment of Foot. that after the expiration of one month from this date, pursuant to Act of Parliament, in this case made and provided, an action will be commenced as the wit of the said James Nestor, against you. for divers trespasses by you committed, in concert with others, in, on, or about the dw•Diug-huuse and premises of the said James Nestor, situate io the parish of Ridge atoresaid.—_ltated this :pch day of January, MIN.

Yesterday morning, the inquest upon tlw body of James (trainee was resumed at the White Horse, ldhenley-hill, pursuant to ad journment. At half-past ten the Coroner directed the names of the Jury to be called over, when all having answered, and the witnesses being in attendance, he ordered the inquisition to proceed. The Cotton ell then observed, that before the business was corn. merceel, he thought it right to notice a report which had reached his ears last night, and which, though perhaps apparently of trivial importance in the opinion of some persons, he considered it proper to contradict. Ile alluded to a statement that he had as serted, in reference to the recently expressed opinion of )Ir. Justice . Park, on the publication of the proceedings under a Coroner's In. quisition, that he did not consider it to be worth a birthing. Ile denied the truth of this statement altogether. lie had never used words of any . such nature or tendency. The Magistrates present all conhnned the decimation of the Coroner. The Conowee said he certainly was of opinion that he had no power to exclude the attendance of reporters on these occasions, and he founded that opinion on the custom which hod always pre. railed to regard the Court of the ('caner, as was every other con nected with the administration ofjut,ice, an open court, to which all persons might resort. Thomas Watson was then trilled. Before he was sworn, Mr. ST EPH EN, tho Solicitor fur the prosecution, stated that he should object to any question being put to this witness, by which he might be compelled to furnish evidence against himself, in an action to which Mr. Noel, the solicitor a tlis prisoners, lied given notices for an alleged trespass on the gremlin of Captain Nestor at ' Itabley-house. As yet, indeed, he did not know who were the par- ties that would be included in the action. Mr. NOEL —I have no hesitation in telling you that you are one of the parties, and Mr. Watson another. The I'oaonita said he should be happy to meet the wishes of the gentlemen present, if his duty would allow him ; but he could not refuse to hear evidence, or refrain from obtaining it on account of any action that might be pending, or in contemplation. Mr. ST ETU EN sow:mated that the evidence should be taken in private before the Voroner and the Jury, all other persona being excluded. _ . The Collor: ex said that it was an open Court, and he could not exclude any one. 11r.SrctoeXsaid,hehaddonehisdutyinmakingtheobjection It was for the Coroner to discharge his, according to his own judg ment. _ Mr. Thomas Watson. the officer employed to execute the warrant against the Firmer Connolly, was then sworn.--_I now live in Great Suffolk-street, London. 1 arrived at Itabley_house about three o'clock on Wednesday last. I entered the outer gate by pushing it open with my hand. I was appointed specially for this occason, to execute a warrant for MCI. against James ..'onnolly. I have rot the warrant with me. As soon as I had arrested him, I never len him till he wan in the magistrate's roan. This moire the M* , of I ,*ant* 0 a oPesiing-Ihanlavr gate, I we* us the Ronk kiln and insoeired. - The servant-maid, now in custody, opened one of the fruit first-floor windows. I asked her if Capt. Nestor was at home. She said, " No." I then asked when they expected him home. I was informed that Mrs. Brown was mistrial; of the house. but I understood Captain Nestor resided there. The servant-maid said she had not seen him these ten days, and she thought he was in Ireland. I then asked her if Mr. Patrick Connolly was within. She said she did not know such a person, and had never heard the name. She then put down the window and left me. I turned round and went into the road again to AIL Cannon, who was waiting for me. Ile inimedlauly remarked, " Here is a man watching us over the palings." That man is now in custody. His name is Moran. Ile was looking over the paling parallel to the atone of the base in the open road. Part of is is broken down. Ile was in the farm.yard, which has a communication with the front of the house. We went up to the man. The gate was open, and I Weill in. Mr. Cannon spoke to Moran about some horses. I went in alone the first time. I walked away towards the back of the house. I did not attend to what Moran said. I found the outer door at the back open. There are two little doors there. The inner door was shut. it is a slight door, the upper part glass. 1 put my toot on the threshold, and my hand gently against the door. Mr. STEefir.t bestrew, and protested against the presence ofMr. Noel or any other gentleman but the Coronet and jury, while this witness was required to give evidence, which, takeit quatawrot, would serve the purposes of the action threatened by Mr. Noel against the Magistrates. the Coroner, and himself, for a trespass on the premises of Captain Nestor. .31r. NOEL. on his part, protested against the construction put upon the notice of action, which he intended to serve, as Solicitor of Captain Nestor. He had neither used nor intended to use any threat against any gelds man concerned in this inquest. The evi dence given by this witness could not support the action against him. It would be necessary by the evidence of witnesses in open co. t to sustain that anion, and the objection was therelbre ground less. A Coroner's court was certainly an open court, and he had a right to insist upon being present. lie then referred to the in quests upon Honey and Framis, who were killed at the Queen's funeraL At that inquest Mr. Adolphus attended us Counsel for the parties implicated, and notes of the evidence were freely allowed to be taken by all persons. The CoaosEn said, that whatever might happen hereafter be tween any of the parties concerned in this, or any preceding trans. anion connected with it, he had no right to look fieward to any consequences in the present discharge of his duty. He would not check or interfere with the reception of any testimony that would elucidate any act relative to this murder. It was at the saute time necessary to state candidly, that if any counsel had attended, as he had been told it was at one time contemplated, he would certainly ! not have suffered the Learned Gentleman to have taken any part professionally in the proceedings. The Rey. Mr. Newsroom then rose, and turning towards Mr. Noel, said, " If you, Sir, will answer one question frankly, the propriety of your presence here will be at once decided. If you ! client, Mrs. Brown, has told me toe truth, you are yourself a party in this crime. She told nie that the prisoners had acted by your advice. Is that the fact ?" Mr. Doti.-1 was in London. Dow could Ibe a party in this bu.iness? Mr. STEPHEN—SO was 1, yet you make me ■ party in the trespass. Mr. Norse—Then, upon my honour, I say that I never cor responded with Mrs. Brown in my life. The Rev. Mr. Newcoine.—So it might be, yet her statement rosy be true. .lr. Sc, El.—l never corresponded with Connolly, nor with Capt. Nestor on the subject of Connolly's affairs. The only letter he had of mine was an answer to an invitation, written ten years ago. I did not know that the attempt was likely to be made to take Connolly into custody. The Rev. Mr. Neweome.—l think I have heath enough to justify me in apprehending Mr. Noel on suspicion of being a Party in this murder. I will not go that length, certainly, but I must insist upon the propriety of his quitting the room. Mr. Notts.—This is the Coroner's Court, Sir, not yours. The CORONER remarked that he had heard the communication of Mr. Newcome, and he hail received a similar one from Mr. Winter, to whom Mrs. Brown had also made the game statement ; but till a charge was made formally against Mr. Noel, he might remain in the room the same as any other individual. The Rev. Mr. Newcome.—The presence of Mr. Noel is mani festly to get at what will serve to defend himself. Mr. Not:L.—Such an insinuation merits no answer. Mr. Sr Ern r.x.—lt is no insinuation; it is a confession of one prisoner. implicating Mr. Noel. The Rev. Mr. Newsome.--And I beg to call the attention of the Coroner to the fact I have communicated. The Conon xa said, that till some charge was made he could not interfere with Mr. Noel's presence. Mr. STEPHEN said the question reselved itself into the pro priety of having the Court open. The CORONER referred to several cases in which, on Inquests of great public importance, and involving the safety of considerable numbers of persons, it had been settled that a Coroner had no legal power to exclude any person from being present, or from taking notes of the proceedings. In the ease of the men killed at Knights bridge by the life-guardsmen, Mr. Adolphus was even admitted to act as Counsel, though certainly he was of opinion that no neces ; sity could exist at a l'oroner's Inquest for the attendance of Counsel, because there was no ground for crux-examination. No particular party was there prosecuted, it was merely an inquiry into the causes ar.d muds by which seine person had come to his diath. - - - - - - - - Some altercation followed, at the conclusion of which The Rev. Mr. Newcome said, that a Magistrate's assertion was surely as gond as a committed felon's oath. 111 r. Noel. rose immediately, and exclaimed, Gentlemen of the Ate', with my hands up I must motestmith indignation against the language used mwards my client. It is bold, arrogant, cruel, ; and the last in the world that should proceed front • clergyman, who ought to preach mercy. You (turning towards Mr. New:come) ought to be ashamed of yourself. The examination of the witness was then resumed.-1 tapped at the door, Mrs. Brown came forward and told me her name, and said that was her house. She wan withinside the glass door; I was outside; she asked me what I wanted; the outer door only was then open. In consequence of an observation of Mr. Noel, respeetinc, the former condition of this witness, his feelings became highly ex. cited, and he was allawed to withdraw, in order to recover himself. William Jerry Cannon, the clerk of the Solicitor tor the prosecution. was tlieu sworn. Mr. STEritcw prote.4tll formally against the presence of Mr. Noel, while this witness was examined. The witness was then examined.—l live at King's Arms Yard, Colroom-street. On Tuesday the 911th of December, I issued a capitas by the direction of Mr. Stephen, cu. al. into licrtfordshire, for WM: against Patrick Connolly.

After waiting there shout a mi nute, Mr. Watson came to me 'and stated that he had applied at the front of the house, and a fentale servant had denied that Cap. tain Nestor was at home, and she did not know Connolly. While we were talking, I observed Moran watching us ever the palings ; he wan standing just outside:the gate leading into the stable-yard I on catching my eyche withdrear and walked back into the yard. Mr. Watson and I followed him, and I inquired of him If Gupta. Nestor was at home. Ile told me that he was not, and did not know where he was, whether in k land or Ireland.

She replied that she know lathing about it ; that she was alone and unprotected t that she had the whole of the property in the house under her care, mid mild not admit us. 3lr. M atson then stated, that Mr. Char* James, of Regent-street, had requested him to proceed from tomato Robley house, to inform Mr. Patrick Connolly, that some terrible mace tune had befallen him, which rendered his presence in town imme.. (timely necessary. Mrs. Brown stated that Mr. Connell was not there. that she knew no person of that name. Mr. Watson ob. served that that was very strange, as he had been informed by the family in Regent-street. that Mr. Connolly was at itabley-house. Mrs. Brown said, " I don't know him, indeed I don't. I seine ly know the family in Regent-street • I have visited there only once or twice." Mr. Watson than lard, " I ain a Eines officer ; I have a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Patrick Connogy, and I re quest you to open this door, that I may execute it." kit produced the warrant. Mrs. Brown replied, that she could net think of opening the door ; that Mr. Patrick Connolly was trot there ; and that she knew nothing whatever of him. At this moment I caught a glimpse of Mr Connolly. This was abont half-isast three in the afternoon. I said to the officer, " There lie is." l'he officer odd, " Shall I break open the door ?" I said, " 1)o so, by all means." He kicked against the door, and by the violence of the shock a pane of glass was displaced. I am speaking of the inner glued door. Connolly instantly rushed up to the dour, and called out to the female servant standing by, "Bring me the spit." Site brought it to him instantly. Ile brandished it, and swore, by the holy Jesus, he would run it into the guts of the first man that attempt ed to arrest him. lie then called out, " Bring up the men. Let the men come." Two men ran up immediately from the stable-yard I saw them eerie from that part of the premises. They erne through a gate, which ltd me to conclude they came from the stable. yard. Connolly directed them to fetch the pitchforks. They went away and very quickly returned, each having a pitchfork, one of which was handed to Connolly through the broken pane of glass. The men were Hugh Moran aid Edward Trayers. think it was Troyer' handed the fork. Connolly then called out to the men " These are rascally sheriff's 0111C2111 conic to arrest me. D— them, run the pitchforks into their gnus," and Troyer , stood, with the pi chfork in his hand, in an attitude to charge. I did not observe how lie again became posittssed of a pitchfork. Mr. Watun Lid I were then mulling on the step of the doer. We did not interrupt the men giving the pitchfork to Coonolly, Mr. Con nolly male a desperate thrupt with the pitchfork, thiough the hole in the window, at Mr. %Vatson. The dour was still closed. %Viten Watson pressed the doer it did not My open. After the thrust, Mr. Watson stepped back and maid he in- th e side. Air. cooncrUy said. 1) you, I wish had killed _Liosi." I then went a snort distance from the house, Dignani came up to me, and AU be was walking up to the door where Connolly was still standing, Connolly thrust at hint through die broken pane of glans. Mr. Dignam, tbaa lag bock. said " I am wounded." Mr.Mignam then said "I wig go for rsislanne," and went away. Directly afterwards Coonolly said to llugh Moran, •• tin to Mr. Bortholoniew's and burrow his gun, a:id ha sure you bring it loaded." Connolly then said to us, " I will ,won Le ounce of lead for you, you d—d "camping rnscaNt ell Awl six men rather than be taken." I then follow, .1 II ugh Moran, that I might inform the person of whom the gun was to be borrowed, for what purpose it was gaing to be used; but on reaching the gate leading to Mr. liartholornew's house, Hugh Moran was just coining out of It. 11: had no gun in hi. hard. and said to toe, " It won't do; I can't get it." I turned to Robley-holm ; about three minutes afterwards I was walking in from of it, and llugh 31oran came within a few pods of me, and held out his hand, which was full of bullets or slugs. He rattled them, and said to me, " book here ; here's plenty of lead for you ;!" about two or three minutes afterwards, Edward Troyes b came round to the front of the house with a pi-chfork in his hand. IL said to me, t• You had better go. I hare put many a damned son of a bitch of a Dublin police-officer to the rout, and we'll serve you the same before the night." I told him he was very im prudent to use such language, and had better be quiet. Ile said, • Oh, no, I'll be damned if I do," and wint ed. About a mi nute afterwards I went to the back of the house, where I found 31r. %Vation, llugh Moran, and Edward Trams: Ilugh Moran then had a gun in his hand, which he leveikd alternately at Mr. \V arson and myself. Connolly called oat to him, •• Dram them, shoot them," and to Edward 'Prayers, " Stick theta, and tosa their bodies into the pond." Mr. Watson told them to forbear, that he was in the execution of his duty as a King's of fi cer, and that it would cost them their lives if they obeyed such directions. Connolly then called out, " Shut up the doors,' anti Hugh Moran walked backwards to the door, with the gun presented at the shoul der to us. He then closed the folding doors. Mrs. Brown and the female servant were with Connelly all this while in side the house. They were nterely . standing still. We were thee shut out of the house entirely. Connolly then di rected Hugh Moran to pass the gun into the house through the cellar window. Moran remained outside with the gun aster he had closed the folding.doons, whirls he did in an instant, Trayers standing with the pitchfork all the while. On receiving Connully's order, Moran walked backwards to the cellar window, and de livered the gun to the female servant, who was waiting to receive it. Moran then got into the house through the window, which the servant opened to receive him. Immediately afterwards, Connolly, Mrs. Brown, Moran, and the female servant, closed all die shutters round the house. Very shortly, Connolly appeared at the window of the first-floor at the back of the house- He threw up the sash, exhibited a gun, and said he would shoot any man who uttemptad to arrest hint, that he valued his liberty too much to be taken. Ale. Watson said, '• You can't intimidate me, Air. Connolly, I am not to be deterred from the execution of my duty by any threats that you may use." Mr. Connolly replied, ' by the Ilidy Saviour of the world, I'll shoot you dead, mises." Mrs. Brown and the female serum[ were at the *ante window with Connolly. Mrs. Brown said, " and I Lave a second pistol, and if his fire don't take effect, I'll shoot that." I said, " Mrs. Brown, you make yourself a party to the illegal aria com mitted by Mr. Connolly, if you use such language. You had better not do it." I did not see her produce a pistol. I then went into the lane, and met, a short distance from the house, a posse of constables. I led them round to the back of the house, told them an assault had been committed on Mr. Watson, the officer, soil another on Mr. Dignam. Dignatn was in fart but slightly wounded. I directed them to break into the house. Air. Con nolly was then at the same window I spoke of last. lie n ow out, " If you do, by God, I'll shoot you !" At this time we had no warrant. The men hesitated to obey my . directions. I then went round to the front of the house, and stationed the men about it. Before these men came, Air. n'onnolly came to one of the windows in the front of the house, and produced a gun, Nome bullets, and a powder-horn, and said he hail plenty of ammunition, and would put some lead into us before he had done with us. He 'hewed me the bullets and powder.horn. I saw there were bullets and pieces of lead. When the men were stationed, Mr. Connolly , again came to one of the front windows, and addressed himself to the constables. Not more than an hour had then elapsed. 31r. Connolly said, " Gentlemen. I will give you a history of the whole o f this transaction." He related several circumstances, and told them that I was a blackguard, the attorney's clerk. He stated that one Andrews, whom he lied before called a swindler, and would again, bad by some manoeuvre obtained a verdict against him, and they were now endeavouring to arrest him for the damagea. He concluded the narration by saying that I was a d--41 blackguard, the attorney's clerk. The Co BOWER—Then he knew you ?—(A laugh.) Witness—lle concluded with offering a guinea to each man to withdraw. By this time Ale. Dignani had retunied, and I deter mined on going with him to the nearest Magistrate to obtain a warrant for the assault upon us ; I went to Mr. Winter, and ob tained a warrant for the assault on Mr. Dignam. The Magistrate sent for the constable to his house, and directed him to bring his brother James with him to our ansistanee. James ilirainge came, and was sworn in specially. The Olagistrate furnished him with an axe, and we proceeded to Rabley-house. On reaching it James Grainge applied at the front door rot admission. The warran t was giveu to hunt, but was directed I believe to John (irainge. Mr. ' Connolly called dut, " Who's there Grainge replied, "'the constable of Shenley-hill." The axe was given by the Magistrate iaehnsequineenf The retwestlindlon of Mt. l)ignam, who said that force 'mild positively be necessary . Grainge went on to ray. '• I have a Magistrate's warrant for the apprehension of Patrick Con nolly. and I request that the door may be opened, that I may be able to rake him." Connolly monad. "It shall not; and if you attempt to tike me I'll shoot iron." George Graine answered, I hope not, rtir ; don't be rash, govern your passion . " Connolly said, " shoot twit, by G-- if you attanpt to enter." (inanity said, " Pray don't, bir ; I am a consuiWe, and have a Magistrate's war rant, and I hope you'll open the door to me." Connolly answer:A, ••I will not ." - Orainge said, "If you won't, dir, I really must break open the doer." Connolly said, "If you do, 11l shoot yogi dead." It was then dirk ; Grange then turned towards Inc and said, " Do you thlni I have acted in an officer-like manner ?" I told hint I tamight he had, and directed him to force the door ; Mr. Watson did not direct him ; I did not hear him read the war rant at the door ; I du tatt believe it was ; Connolly asked Grainge to put warrant in at the done • Grainge Creed to read it, or furnish him with a light to read i: hi mself ; but un light was given, nor was it read ; it was too dark t•r rebel it witbout a light, and we had no lanterns ; Grainge stated that it was • warrant to apprehend Patrick Connolly for as, assault on Mr. :lames Divan'. The axe was then given to Grainge ; I do nut knor in whose posses sion it was before ; I did not see the awe &en to Grainge, but I understood it was Mr. Winter's intection to give bhp one. The t'oaolira here referred to Mr. Winter, to stacestain wise the r he had given an axe to the deceased. .31r. Winter stated that he did not give the ale, her Overt it to be given ; but he believed the demised had an axe Than his house. sanunation resumed.—An axe wet then put into the hindi of Graiuge, with which be battered at the door, and several apertores were soon made in the upper part of it through one of which a gun was dieelowged from the inside of the house. More than one spec_ two was made before the gun was discharged. I could not discern froth whence the gun wart discharged, nor by whom ; it was through the waddled the door. I was class to the door, on the left hand I ride. The aperture resembled a venetian blind half turned ; if I had been inn the other side I could have oven who fired the gun. Grange said, " My arm is shot ofF," dropped the axe, and reeled cdr the soap; both his hands at the moment were raised with the' axe. I ahem, with others, removed the man into the lane, and cun. ,oeyed hies away. In abnumen minutes 1 heard another gun fired, as I jiadowiront the right-land Window of the first floor. I con. tinged to walk in front of the house some time. Mr. Iliguatu re lowirkeel to tee, that he believed the second gun was at him. .Atwoureirlititet afterwards a man nine to indlsitl 08, some' Amon wanted to speak to Watson at the. kitchen door. Wat son went. end inquired who wanted him. Mrs. Brown re_ " I do." I could not see we, but I knew her voice. be amid " I wish you would wi th draw the men, Connolly as escaped." Mr. y ou inquired " who fired the gull ? lilrs. Boom replied, " Mr. Connolly, and he went off income. Mettle afterwards." Statue time alterWardi I consulted with Mr. Newcome, the Magistrate, who was present, as to another attempt to break open the house. He agreed to it, and I knocked at the door. Mrs. Brown asked who was there ? I told her I held in to hand a warrant granted by Mr. Winter, for the appre hension of Patrick Connolly. I had obtained it front James Grainge after he was shot. I took it Cram his left-hand pocket. I told Mrs. Brown that in the execution of that warrant a capital felony had been committed, and I requested her to open the door, that the person of Mr. Connolly might be secured. She told me that she could not open the dour, and that Mr. Connolly had es caped I said to her, If you persist in refusing to open it, we are resolved to force it." She said it would be useless to attempt to take Mr. Connolly, and that he was a desperate man, and would resist to the last. Mr. Newcome then recommended her to open the door, and told her that if necessary the whole force of the county should be raised. We hiked to her through the door. dirs. Brown replied that she would speak to Mr. Coonolly, and endeavour to prevail upon him to surrentlet himself, but that he had a gun and powder and shot, and she knew it would be useless. Shortly afterwards she came to the door, and said that Mr. Connolly would swpender himself, but to no other person than Mr. Newcome, and that he was to enter the house alone. I told Mrs. Brown to open the door. She did so, and I and Mr. Watson entered the house, followed by Mr. Newcome. Connolly instantly tame down stairs and surrendered himself. Propstring searchtd the house for the servant, hut could not find her. I went up stairs with hint, and in the cock-loft he found the gun, and gave it to me. I examined it, and found it primed and half-cocked. I shook out the printing, and the pan ap peared as if the gun had been recently discharged. I examined the barrel, and about three inches from the mune! I found &bullet. or something like one, in it. I brought the gun down stairs, and delivered it to Mr. Newcome. Soon after, Moran was brought in in custody, and the prisoners were conveyed to the house of Mr. Winter, where the depositions were taken. The witness then signed his evidence, and withdrew. Thomas Watson was then recalled, and his examination resumed. He corroborated the evidence of the last witness, as to the first con. venation with Mrs. Brown : he addechthat she stated she had been apprised by Mr. Noel, the solicitor, what was to happen, and would not therefore open the door to any one. She said she h ad re ceived the intimation from Mr. Noel, by a friend, the night before, by express. She afterwards stated it more particularly to the magistrates. Mr. ST2PIIEN called the attention of the Conine! to this evidence. Mr. NOEL rose, and asserted solemnly that he never oommuni- I cated or corresponthal with Mrs. Brown, or sent her any message whatever respecting Connolly. Mr. STEPUEN &Lid, after the evidence, he was bound to disre gard the declaration of Mr. Noel, and insist openlis withdrawing from the Court. The Color ea said, that he considered, after what had trap spired, it would be more proper for .Mr. Noel to withdraw. Mr. Nod then left the room, and shortly afterwards his clerk was also ordered to withdraw. Mr. 31inchin. who had arrived some time before, to undertake the defence of Connolly, remained on Ms behalf. The examination of the witness was then continued.—He corro borated the evidence already given by Mr. Cannon with respect to the violence of Connolly's behaviour. Witness enocavoured in rain to soothe him. As soon as he got the pitchfork in his hand, he made a thrust at witness, and the prong of the fork pierced through I his great coat, body coat, waistcoat, and shirt, and slightly punc tured the skin. Witness then exclaimed—" Mr. Connolly. you have wounded me." He replied—" 1 am glad of it; I wish I had killed you." Poignant then came up, and Connolly thrust the fork two or three times at him, and called him several tones a thief and informer, at the same time adding the coarsest epithets. The wit. ness then narrated the circumstances that led to the death of l lrainge. Connolly called out to Moran to bring a gun. Moran shortly of. tawards returned with a gun. 'Prayers was with him, lie had a pitchfork. Connolly entered Moran to shoot me, and throw my body into the pond. Afterwards he appeared at the window, and seemed to have been trying the flint. Ile then said—" By Jus, if you arc not off, I'll shoot you." I told him I hoped he would not be so rash. Connolly replied—" If you stop here till dark, I'll shoot you for a robber.' Shortly afterwards Moran appeared with a long knife in his hand. The blade was very bright. Moran got in and out at the cellar windovr. Tree ere still had the pitchfork. He said, " By Jesus, if you are not off, 11l have your life." I said to Trayers he must not talk in that way. Soon after Moran went in with the knife, Connolly appeared at the window, holding up a powder-horn in one hand, and in the other something like a parcel of bullets. He shook the powder-horn, and said. " I have plenty of ammunition to kill twenty of you." I said, if there were twenty l'onnollys in the house, and each of them twenty times as desperate, I would not leave my post, nor if a gun was presented from every window. I said I considered my situation like that of a man in the ranks; I would never leave my post. Mrs. Brown and the female servant were with Connolly at the window. One of them said, if Connolly's shot did not take effect, she would fire a pistol herself at us. Connolly broke into violent language. I asked him whether he was ever shot at himself. He said— • Aye, by Jesus, I was, three times in one day." I asked him if he was nut afraid. "No," said he, " I was not." Then, said 1, neither sin I afraid; and I'll tell you what it is, I think you are a coward, and I never knew a man that was a great talker worth much. I tell you what, you'll do when 1 take put ; fall just like a cock led by a string round its neck. The witness then proceeded to relate the mode in which Ontinge met with his death. When the shot was fired, the inuzale of the gun was thrust three inches through the dom. In the tither par , neuters he agreed with the evidence already given. Mr. James Dignam, the solicitor, was then sworn. Before this I witness was examined, lie begged to make a preliminary explana- I lion of the mode in which he had been mixed up with this unfur -1 tunate affair. He said he was an old acquaintance of 31r. Stephen, • with whom he bad served his clerkship in the office of Messrs. Kaye and Freshlield. From .Me. Stephen he had received a letter, stet ' ing that an execution for ti MI. had been issued sgainst Mr. Patrick Connolly. with whom he (Mr. D.) was personally acquainted. The letter went on to say, that the Sheriff's officer having heard that Connolly was a desperate character, had d..elined to go, and therefore he (Mr. S.) would he obliged if he would accompany the ; officer. He was no party whatever in the suit. He was peeectli disinterested, and went merely in compliance with his friend s • wish, in order to identify Connolly s person. I 3lr. Dignam then shortly eatrated the circumstances that fell within his knowledge. HIS statements agreea with those of the '.receding witnesses. He was struck on the ltuntb by the pitch. fork when Connolly du= at him, and if he had DOS been very quick and rather active, he believed this prong would have pasaed through his hetiv. The door within which Connolly then was be ing an Iona: ;lie, Watson considered he had Made his cap ' film, and called upon witness to assist him. Connolly called out to witness from the window, " By the Holy J--s, you Duigenam I will put an ounce of lead tbmugh your head." Witness said that Connolly's conduct was cowardly. ('onnolly rejoined, " Go away or I'll shoot you ; I'll shoot as many as come, and then myself, for I'll never be taken alive." Ile then asked witness to fight him in the fifteen acre field on the following Sunday. Wit : ness also stated most positively that three shots were fired. The third mule less noise, and wan therefore perhaps less noticed. Michael Cripps was then sworn. I live in Ilertfordsbire ; I am the headborough of Barnet. I searched Babley-house for Hugh Moran. 1 found him lying fist on his back in the gutter on the roof. The trap doors were both shut. There was a fork inside. The Jury having intimated that they were satisfied with the eel , dence they had beard, the Coroner forbore to call any more wit. noises. Just as he was about to sum up the evidence. Mr. Noel. entered the room, and with great energy addressed the Coroner, saying, that be felt highly gratified that the circum stance of the use of his name by Mrs. Brown could be satisfactorlly explained. Since hr had left the room he had learned that the mes senger who had arrived at Rabley-houpe, in his name, had been employed for that purpose by a person named Dignam, who he be. lieved was a solicitor. The object of this man's journey was to present a biil for 1001. on Connolly, in ord' r to substantiate an act of bankruptcy, on which a commission might have been sued out. ' This messenger be (Mr. Noel) impeded to arrive in leas thad hat/ !an hour, and he would state, that he had been instructed to perform his part by Mr. Lignin. He (Mr. Noel) felt the attack that had been made on him seriously. lie knew its object, and the parties with whom it had originated should bear of it again. Mr. ST EPH ES complained that he was insuttcd by Mr. Niserd demeanour, and lie put himself under the protecuon at the Coroner. Mr. i•OEL said he was the father of eight children, to whom his ehstrancr was of importance. Out of that Coirn be would be read♦ to ansder any matter Mr. Stephen might atonic to urge againut him. The Coact:Ea maid he eould not allow the Court to be dia. turbed by the prirste ditou le, of these Gentlemen. Mr. Nos'. bowed. Ile Suppoicd there we. De necessity of his withdrawing. The ( ao a—Certainly not. 31r. Nod again took his seat at the table. The l'ondsett then recapitulated the evidence': As he did Pro- Mr. Sterns*, who had previously taken his leave, returned to say, on behalf of .Ir.

Having gone through it. he, co:ngnented at come lenge,. Implied malice wan clearly tstablistit.d. The only 'dation for the Jury was. how many of the Waal now et Hertrord medal. Alban's should be included u mincipels in their verdict ? At a quarter before us o'clock the Jury withdrew to consider their verdict. At the expiration of an hour they returned into Court with a verdict of " Wilful murder twine Patrick Connolly, 'in the first tit .:ree ; and ageinet Hugh :Wotan, Edward Trayarav Ifilinbeth Brown, and Amelia Morgan, in hut second degree.'

Cunca.—Letters from Canton were receive] on Satur day by the Thames East Iniliaman, arri%ed in the Downs, dated the bth of August, and bringing intelligence that appears to fore. bode another misunderstanding with the Chinese Government. It appears that the affair of the Tonne frigate has by no meats been forgotten, though generally understood to have been arranged in a satisfactory manner. On the arrival of the Thames in the river of Canton, which took place early in June, a person was sent on board by the Viceroy, to inquire whether they had brought out with them the murderers of those persons who fell in the affair of the Toone, and were prepared to deliver them up to be put to death by the Chinese.
