Hr admitted that there were some cases which cot the other way, but they were principally cases of partiality and passion in the Juries, who had ever been considered as the proper judges of the compensation for injury. The Learned Coun sel then went at great length into the circumstances of the case, and after reading a greet number of affidavits on both sides, he was proceeding to urge, with great warmth in support of the verdict, when The COURT desired to hear the other side. Mr. SCARLITT this addressed their Lordships in support of the rule.

The Grand Jury having been sworn, Lord EiTo- WfLi,.cbarged them to the following effect Geeteewen—lt is • duty imposed epos me by law to address you, rospectiag the duties imposed . upon you on this occasion by the same authority. It is the province of this Court to iequire into all offieuees committed within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England; • jurisdiction of great because it extend's wherever the sea rolls is any quarter of the globe. It is certainly ■ matter of some surprise (arid a feet highly creditable to these permits imp l ied ups* that element). that so few cases of human depravity occur within that jptiodiction. On the peseta occasion there are but as cave for your carsideratioe, both of which are of a serious nature. and will require serious lIIAMBion. The first cue which will be presented sew Awe of s capital &empties, and one of very mairelimet occurrence : it is a case of a rape caw Silted ell bawd of one sr his Majesty's ships on a wareied .111111111, the wife of another narrioer belong. irig to the same ship.

If the case bird stood as it was at Met repro. seated, then a question would have arisen whether, as the offence hod been committed bp food, mid without the ingredient of force, this case would have come within the definition of a rope. which must always be perpetratrd by violence; but as the COW now stands, you will consider it as true of en ordinary description, and pursue your itiqetriei In the usual manner. There will be moodier ase also piteented to you of a Diesel'sr nature, and very grave character. You are aware of the employ ment 0111 the meat awls's& Towle called life-beats, which are often highly rustrumental in the preserva tion of humeri life when ships are wrecked or stranded. The offence charged is, that on a certain occasion. when one of those boats had approached a vessel io distress, the praetors went out to pleader the said vessel Ili a boat called u a Yawl," and in order to effect their purpose, they-cut sway the rope by which the life boat was attached to the vessel nu distress, and by that metros effectually prevented its approach. The result was, that the lives of the Captain and three of the crew were lost. You will feel that this is 11 tramactiso which deserves the most serious atieutiou, and I have no doubt it will re ceive at your hands the attention it deserves. There is sso other remark which it appears necessary fur use to makes end I therefore conclude with recom mending your own immediate application to hun tress. CHARGE OP RAPE.

Previous to the Jury being sworn, Mr. ALIA!, as Counsel for the Prisoner, moved that the trial should be postponed, :op ac oust of the abreact of a witoess who had been bound over on the part of the prosecution, and whale testimony was must essential in behalf of the Prisoner.
