This witness was asked, " Who was pre. nut?" and he was required to name some one of them. lie as. tiered that he knew no one ; but, upon being pressed, said, " A diner of Air.

The extract under elate 3/arch Yid, ISIS, ts, " That from the; Aron-Nine of the regrces I was apprehen..ve of some disturbance; t'e• I felt inc'ined to state my opinion to some of the rulers of the: c..-Ittay, but thought no notice would be taken of it, unless I cti minted some one; i. e. lodged a complaint agai nst , some planter : . .r violatirg the law with respect to the data . " The following fame will, I trust. suffieierily explain this passage. About Otto. her, 11113. the Aliesionary Society printed an extract from a letter of mine, in witich it was stated, that'the congregation at be Ilesou venir bad lately decreased in number, owing to the planters work ing their slaves on Sunday. The fluid maw this, sem fur me, and insisted no my bringing forward legal proof of the planter. working their slaves on Sonitays, that he might prosecute the offenders. Aly object hawing been merely to account to the Society . fur such decrease in the congreemion, and new the prosecution of the planters, I declined bringing such proof. The Fiscal then acknow. /edged that In knew the negroes were worked on a Sunday, and that he had twice fined Mr. Benny for this offence, hut that he wanted legal anted* of other instances, or words to that effect. Thq matter passel over, and the congregation continued to suffer from the same alleged ranee. Ilenoe arose my reflections. That I was invitee:lin these reflections will be shown, by proving what I have stated. My journal, however, was the depository merle Army own thoughts, and I never promulgated its contents; bad I doer so, there would hare been witnesses found to prove it. I shall now conic to that part of the charges which regard the allegation of my baring had knowledge of the revolt, and not hay. big informed the constituted authorities of the same. As the tint pact of the second charge. rid the third charge, appear to relate to the same supposed offerer, in tact, to be one and the same, I will 'together. . I teepee: to the first pact of the second supposed charge, it is F le to make sense of it, either alone, or joined with the part cf them:mod charge. th respect to the third charge; the offence of which I am therein accused is exprmisly confined to the 17th of Auguring peat, and for • certain period of time thereto preceding. The is bound to confine his evidence to facts within the linirt m rf il t i t r psiod; and, although he may bayeattempted to introduce ev idenee of facts, white. he says. occurred on &Jay subsequent to the seven. toroth, yet I do mint solemnly protest against seep evidence being taken into consideration by the Court, and I feel convinced the Court will allow the validity of my oineetions. I shall, it is true, notice all the evidence, but I shall du so merely to explain it. that it may not hereafter prove injurious • tomy chant. ter, protesting, however, against its being noticed by the Court in any other way, under the charges preferred against me. I have told the lloart that I wish to meet all the charges in a fair and impartial manner; I will endeavour to do so; but I will ineel only the charges, for 1 am not bound to answer any extraneous clot_ ter, or au y frets not happening within the time the prosecutor has steed. He has had niany wicks to draw up him charges, anti col lect his evidence, and if he bad nut, still the law will nut permit bun now to supply defects. The evidence under this head is threefold : Is:. To prove that positive information was given me of the re. volt on the 17th of August, and fora certain period of time thereto preceding. dd. That after the revolt broke out I confessed or admitted a pre vious knowlele... 3d. That I was on the 18th informed of the intended revolt, &c. The witnesses on the tine point are Emanuel, to prove that I knew of it three Sundays before; and B►istol, to prove that I was inforisel by Quaniina, on the Sunday immediate, preceding. Masud elates, that " three Sundays before this war cane. Qua. mitts, actoropented by him, Manuel, came to saw lipase, to make teluiry relieving a paper of freedom, of wkieb Mennel had heard Jerk speak ; that Quotient' asked " wh7 Mr. Cart and Mr. Stewart kid called on me the arerediag Friday r" and was answered, " to inquire whether any of the negrors ever arse to ask are about this paper; and further, Qii swum told toe, in his baartag. to take Jack aid Joseph, and talk to them, because they wantal to make trouble about this affair." This statement is altogether false; Quamina sever opened his lips In me about the paper (as they speak), except on the lith July.

Stewart did sot call upon me till the Bth ft A.ugust, and how is it pendble that oo the &l of August any conversanon could have pawed relative to Mr; Cott and Mr. .Stewart having called upon me on the Stb. The simple tact% of to, supposed knowledge oe the 17th of Au gust are these :—On that day, it being Sur y, I bad been in she thschareze of my ministerial duties in the chapel to a very late hour. .1: was at Into foes o'clock when I finally left the chapel to go to my dwelling-house. On arriving there, I found Brurtol talking ' woh Ms. smith about a little girl, a daughter if his, whom he wished to place under Mrs. Smith's care. I joinedin their cones.. ration, and found that the girl had bid the measles, from the et'. tests of which the was then stated to be only just recovering. On this ground I objected to her being brought to the house uutil she wax perfectly recovered. as they. were nerves on the estate whom she might hare infected with the oompiaint. Whilst I was eon. setrailg with Bristol. Quentin. and Suttee.. according to custom, cans in, and were anon tollowed by two others. .Their coming in , was flouting unusual ; it was not a ciresiontenee to excite soy par. Wetter notice. They seldom watt sway on • Sunday without ann.. Mg into the Lack gallery to bid us good bye. This was the coie with none of the ',eerie, and I ounederial that they came In, eel .that oraci.m, msely tor that purpose. They were all standing to.

While d•stkine it, l heard Qesinina and Seaton, who wire Mikiog toge. that in a how tone of v..ice, use the words " manager and new This induced me so rebuke theist for talking shoat such things. Quamina 'raid, "Oh, it terethieg particular, thr ; we were retires?. mg It would be gaud to seed our managers to town to fetch up the near law." I Inuneliently replied, that such oonveraation was im. proper; that they would be fools to say soy thing to their managers' about it, for they were not the law makes; that if there Wes any I thing for them they should was , rancid', end they would co doubt aeon hear of it, either team the Governor or from their mowers hut l that if they manifest•sl any impatience, or behaved imoolootly to their manager*, they would lose their ',listens clustainer, and would peuvuke tbe tioversiorhere ' said the King and the Geom. • anent at home. Qua' oirs reeled, " Very welt, Sir; Well ay no. thing about it, for we 'tumid be sorry in KiAgosol the peo ple at hotee." They tern went out all together, eocii.biddiag me and Mrs. Smith goal i.nernrien. Fran all that passel I had not the ensiles idea that they in tended to revolt.

That I was on the 13. h informal of the revolt. I have already stated, that all the evidence produced on this point is extraneous and inadmissible. The period of time in the charges is conSned to the 17th day of August, and a certain period of ti me thereto preceding; and the evidence must be also limited to the 17th of August; it cannot be extended to acts of the 11:th. for I am not charged with having committed any act on the 13th: allowing, however, for argument sake, that such evidence might have been admitted—might have been taken into conaideration by the Court,that it was .o clear and conclusive as to satisfy the minds of any court that I an wilfully and illegally kept to myself what knowleoge I possessed as to have incurred the penalty assigned by law for (Allies of the most heinous nature. What are the facts , attempted to be proved ?—that about +tie o'clock a letter was sent to me; that at half-pest six the revoh occurred, and I had not given notice of it to Doctor 31• Turk The first intimation I had that the mgroes had any improper in tention was given me by .lackey's note. I have already stated that the contents of that note made me attach to what 1 had heard on the Sunday a meaning which I did not attach to it before. When Giuildford arrived with the note, 1 and 111 rs. Smith were going out for a short walk ; she had her bonnet on, and was waiting for ale" it was just six o'clock. Having read the notes, I inquired Vise knew their contents, and who carried the inclosed note to Jacket' I he prevaricated so much that 1 could loam nothing. 1 delivered to hint a verbal message; I told hint to return. making all pariah], . h.. haste, and tell Jackey that I was surprised, and vexed. and get to find that the people were meditating mischief. and that I he would have nothing to do with the project whateta it mils and endeavour to keep the people quiet. Just as he was gat*. away. it occurred to me that GuildiCal might prevent the 7 , if he was so inclined :to prevent which I told him to wait, 4 wzild write an answer ;it was too dark to examine the nib 14101 " WhanT, . ; I therefore wrote it in rreat haste with a pencil. Ave the note to Guildford it was about a quarter past six. I put .he notes in my pocket, and 'vent a little way up the roidilltpah, with Mrs. Smith, consulting together as to the bat step to be aims. We had not proceeded mere than Nor Verona', when we heard a tumultuous come at the manager's house. We immediately turned beck and went to Mr. !familiar door 4, seeing the negroes behave roughly to me for endeavouring to Oda them, Mrs. Smith en away to get somebody to fetch me away;. she' returned, and when the regrets- had retired, we went home tee. I,•edier. This is a simple and faithful statement of the facts of the amik upon which I will not trouble the l'ourt with evidence. I knew of the revolt a owner of an hpur only, and because I had not presence of wird, or even time to catch my horse, which I w prove, if required, tot he was loose, and ride about the country, am to be tried. • I have at length arrived to the fourth and last chaelpe i %beg* properly speaking. it is only the third offence alleged soma iss. It consists of two parts:— I Fent, That on Tuesday morning Qnsmina wits sem by the boy klitebellecaning to my house. Secondly, That 1 held correspondence with Mei on the night of the 20th, well knowing him to be an ins:argent and engaged in the' , revolt, withaut using my utmost endeavour to detain and secure him, and without informing the eon-ridded authorities of his having been at my house. And the second part of the second charge is to the same effect, and I shall take them together. The boy Mitchell is of notorious bed character, and what does his evidence amount to? that he sawl)uaraina come into may yard on Tuesday morning in open daylight, when the sun was high; and I most solemnly declare I neva saw Quamina on the Tuesday morning. lie may have gone into the yard, or he may not; I never aaw,him, now had I ever any direct or indirect knowledge of his being there until I beard the evidence of Al Rebell in court. On the second point, viz.—That I held correspondence wish Quamina on the eeth of August, well knowing him to be In lc -*urgent, . and engaged in the revolt, without using my molest en. dextrous to detain and seam him, and without informing the con stituted authorities of his. having een at my house, &c. let us examine the evidence. And, says, that on Tuesday, between twelve and two o'clock, Mrs. Smith sent for her; that she went, sad on her arrival Illus. Smith entered into conversation with her, and inquired of bee whet was the matter that the people were doing au? Antje said, " I de .not know, Alielun, the people wish to get their liberty." Mn. Smith said, the people did not behave well, t for black people could not fight against whites ; the said, she had been afraid the whole night, and °odd not sleep. That she (Antje) was so afraid too, that she did know where to go, either into the great house or the negro house. bin. Smith said, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you. Then she went to lie down, and told me she wished to see Quamina or Bristol very much : I did not know anything about it, bat I then got a boy to send back to bring Quamina to the I lady. Mrs. Smith said nothing in that conversation about which would conquer; she said nothing about the mode in which the negroes were to carry on the war. By her evidence it appears i that the nest evening Quinlan@ tame to her, and she coodutz-id him to my house, informing Mrs. Smith early, and that without my knowledge and out of my hearing, that Quentin& was come ; that she then conducted Quamina to my house • that Mrs. Smith re. ceived him and shut the door. The girl Elirlbeth says she was in my Mouse on Tuesday and Wednesday; knows (lumina, of bar, ems, and saw him on Wednesday night inside the ball • that owed( and Mrs. Smith were there ; that I was sitting down in the ball close to the table on a chair; and Quamina stood a little near me: ; that no one else was in the room besides Quentin:. and Mr. and Airs. Smith ; that Mrs. Smith remained in the hall all the time that Quentin& wax there; I did rot see hergo to the front door du that lime; I heard Quamina and Air. Smith talk together; that re ~asaabha staid there a little longer than she had been before the Court: that she saw him when he were out ; that allter Qua mina went away she saw Mrs. Smith, who said she must not tell any body that she saw Quinine in the house, and if ahetold any body slit (Mrs. Smith) would lick her ; did not see the Omer or Mrs. Smith give Quamina any thing; when he went he had a stick, upon which there was a bundle. Even though the whole of this evidence were tens. there is nothing in d to Shaw that I sin guilty of the °disco foe which I am charged. First, It is not proved that Quamina was a rebel. Second, Ttat I bad any knowledge at the titres of his being an inaurgeet. Tetrilly, Nor does it appear that I gave him any intelligence, or held arty such correspoodence with hint as can subject me to punithasent. In the first place it is not shewn that Quamina was a rebel. Secondly it is nut shown that I bed say knowlege of Q 11141404 being an insurgent at the time helms at iny house on Wednesday the eeth. Criminality in this mac entirely depends upon the kortederlp I had of Quail:inn twine an insurgent. The prosecutor lma beat *lwo of this, and has accordingly averred it. This *warmest was ; not only important, but nememary, for is a ace of this kind the moo essence of the crime consists in the guilty krawlalge of the defendant.

In admitting it, however, the Court ought to be well aware of the negm character, and to be very cautious as to the ag ree of credibility to be attached to tbpir evidence. No:hi:fig can be more evident, even front the evilence before the Court, than that nei,mres have but little idea of the obligation of lin oath ; hence the prevarications, and falsehoods, and contradictions, so appa rent in their evidence. They have no notion of time or cinder stance, and it is but too dear that their evidence has been italic up of shreds and patches, obtained from conversation, from hearsay. and From their own fuisinterpretatinasof what had been propounded to them. They are generally incapable of narrating a transaction. neither can they relate, with any tolerable eccuraty, even the shortest conversation ; so well known Is this, that they are seldom intrusted to deliver a verhal message. Notwithstandir.g all this, what has the prosecutor been able to produce against me ? Divest the evidence of all that I shall prove to be exaggerated, ntivrepre tented. awl false, and nothing will remain to prove me criminal, either in a moral, religious. of legal view. With suspect to the other class of witnesses, I will abstain from saying more. than requesting a perusal of their evidence, and if its tlPse,t(s well tiailie questions put by the Judge Ativuente, do not btarme out in asserting, that a spirit of prejudice does exist against Me, then I ant incapable of forming an estimate of meu't opinions gram their words. y journal mow rot be omitted.

ROMAN CATOOLICS. Mr. S. RICE said thxc ate held mTi; hand a petition, to which be begged to call the earnest attention of the House ; stated, that it was from the Homan (;atholics of the town of Drogheda, ' and signed by 2,000 of them, many of whom he knew to be per_ ! sons of the highest respectability. They complained of an erasion Of 'heir filthio and priviieges ; and be would read to the llousr two examnies of the grounds on which they complained. Be an Act passed is the year Um, Roman Catholics were rmdered to sit on grand juries, but although that Act had been in exam inee for more than thirty years, not one instance had occurred In Drogheda of a Roman Catholic being summoned on a ;rand jury. lailthough their numbers were in the proportiou of nine to one to Cie Protestants, and their property in the proportion of two to three ; lad that while Catholic. were excluded. Individual* possessing no nd, and strangers to tie town, were placed on thosejuries: Another Illustration was, that al hough by the Act which he had juat quoted Ihe( oumearion was thrown open to them, yet during the whole of the penod that hail elapsed only six Catholics had belonged to it, and some short time ago, when gir 'l'. Esmond, the repre s entative of one of the eldest families in Drogheda, Ives proposed as a member, he was rejected as being a Catholic. The petitioners prayed that the whole of the laws Waling Ireland might tinders.° revision and investigation, more especially those cossetted with tithes and eborehes. The Hon. Member observed, that there was much valuable information contained in the petition, which would guide the vices of Hon. (lentlemen when toe state of Ireland be- came the subject of el iseu.Rion nos that H ouse . Sr J. NEH'PtiltT said, that is many of the corporate towns in Ireland the Act of 1793 was a mere nullity. This, he was prima to say, was not the ease with the city which he had the tiontnir to represent (14 - arerfonl). He took the liberty of saying thus much, as it was a galling circumstance for the Catholics to know that they it !!re debarred by . party feeling from the enjoyment of those privileges which the l eg islature had thought ht to concede to them. 20. !intr. Orme& that it was not to be expected that tm quillity (-mid exist in Ireland, if the rights of the great body of the people were ncgle.cted or overbuked. The Hon. Member for Limerick had not stated a tithe part o" the grievances enumerated in the petitibu, hut he supposed that he had done this with a view 4 inducing gentlemen to read it. He could say whit truth, that not one of tie privileges granted to the Cathellios by the Actor 17. gt had been extend:a to them. The petition was then brought up and laid on the table. FOREIGN WOOL.

(Loud .augiuer.) Mr- HCMK thought it strange that such a petition should base been presented, as it was very easy for t'inee fishmongers who dials: proved of the prarice, in. whose eortecienees told them it was wrong, to abstain from the continuance of it, without requiring the inter , fevente of Parliament. Be thought that the tita tute Bonk was already suflieieody burdened with penal laws, without soiling any more to them. Sir 31. ‘V. RIDLEY' thought that there never bad been a mote absurd and ridiculous petition proseoted to the House; and he should move that the names of the persona signing it should be printed with the petition. Sir T. BARING supported tFe petition, and aril. that while the House was voting mo..ey fur the building of churches, it became them to adopt every osemmre calculated to inesease the devotion of the frequenters of tie churches.
