He wart thrones an eaantinatiou of the application of :ht proceeds t': the Wane, and contended, that on the 'ace of the account there tar evidently great rearon for the I'rinee of Pupas to be dissatis fied with the conduct of his Envoy in this country. Ile was, there. fens. fully jestified, ard, indeed, wee bound in duty to the land holders and settlers at l'OjoiS, to eppoint the Commissioners for the corsolidation of his debts, and for the genteel stiperintendanee of the firenriel affairsof the Poyaisians:ate.

The serip-holders eight, therefore, look forward without tear that the Prince would top nil fai:h with them, and they would all yet see the principa lity fouriiii according to their most anxious desires. They had done witch for that object—they had embarked their money, they had ride, d their reputations : ought they to draw back at such seer.rit ? lie recommended them, therefore, to disregard what they had beard against the Prince, and examine closely into the "Lee dunks rat the lete Envoy.

The prosecutor was a 41mi:rid old man oe. copying a small freehold property in the pariah in question, the Inmates of his house siere a bed-ridden old sister and an aged feut-de, who attended him as housekeeper. In site dead of the night, two men broke loth his bed-room wleff - eandles in their hand,. roused hint from his •rleep, and demanded his money he told them he hail none, whereupon they proceeded to break' open a chest in his con.,' whence they took a watch and some' silver money.

After remaining in the house for an hour they quitted it, leaving the back door open. It ap peared that an entry had been effected by breaking a large wooden 'tin which fastened it.

They had 'tow been detained from their homes fur six days. at considerable expense and inconvenience, and they hoped thXt the Court would mint them sonic compensation out of the county thuds. Mr. Baron GRATUM said it was quite out Of hit )wirrt td tieW to the request. Ile had no authority to make any order upeot the subject. Indeed, if such authority were vested in a Judge, It might be productive of serious consequences io the administration of justice. The office of juryman. though it might be biathen soine to the individual, was most important to society, and ought to be discharged without fee or reward. It was one of the honour able duties imposed upon persons in the station of life from which jurors were selected ; and in the uninfluenced discharge of whiCh the deepest imetests of society were concerned. The Juryman did not seem at all satisfied with his Lortlthip's answer, and expressed a hope that his Lordship would take the subject into his serious consideration, and bring the matter before the House of Lords.

The prisoner was' very tlettent-laoking lad. 111 e. CuRROOD stated the case for the prosecution. The pro,c cutor occupied • cotton mill at Fazely, as tenant of Sir Robert Peel, that mill was burnt down under such eitcutustaneta as left no I doubt that the lire did not arise front accident. A witness would ir,deed prove a confession by the prisoner of the actual fact, but he ought to say that this witness was one not of so nspeetalile a de. scription as might be wished, therefore they would consider whether this witness was beicicotly corroborated. It would appear clear that the prisoner was drinkingat • p u bli c house w late as 12 o'clock at night, and lie said he had then gone to be bed at Tam. worth, but it would :Treat that he was at the tire at an hour so early as to make that impossible, and this witness (a young woman) would state that on seeing hint the next morning she observed it was a bail job. lie said it was, but the tire office would pay it. She said, Had you any share in the jolt, he said, Vex, he knew where to find the keys of the mill, and that he lighted sonie waste cotton and threw it among soots more, and then threw the candle and lanthorn into the 111111-‘l.ltu. No candle or lagthorn were round In the wrill.alsca t .but a candle and !anthem were frund in a neighbouring well, and with regard to sating that he knew where to find the tees, he would state that die head overseer, to avoid being disturbed in the mornings,_used to hide the keys, where he knew that the man who was to light the fires cf the mill would find them. Mr. John lluntc? said, I Mcapy thi? m'll; it is situate at Fuely. lln the Light of the 11th of Novi tuber, the a hole of the 'I mill was burnt excilit the outside walbi and the steam engine. On the morning of the day before the tire I was in the upper part pU the mill where there was some cotton, waste oil paper, old frames, and other lumber. There were lamps used in the morning of that day. It was on a Saturday, therefore there were no lights In the mill in the evening that I know of. In the next room to this was manufactured cotton. The mill was built of brick, and was what I was called a cotton mill. Examined by the Learned JUDGE-1 am tenant of the mill, and have no partner. The prisoner was trot a workman of mine. The lamps era lighed in the evening, about five or six o'clock. They are oil. The warkmen leave work at half-past seven; but did not work on that day cm account of the height of the water in the stream making the v beels sork badly. itachel Fletcher, a King's evidence, who appeared to be about 18 years of age, atated, I know the prisoner; 1 remember the night when the mill was burnt.
