bited, to such a degree that no respectable person could have lived near it. Mr. CLARICE.--I admit Lord Huntingtowcr was wrong, but the annoyance he received was beyond bearing. The boys would let off pistols close to the horses' heads, and beat old kettles and drums whenever he made his ap pearance. The CHIEF BARON--I believe, Mr. Clarke, if the da mnges had been laid at 5,0001., notwithstanding the pro vocation, the plaintiff would have recovered to the full extent. We are, however, of opinion you are entitled to a rule, on the ground of there not being sufficient proof that the defendant was the author of the letter ; but should it turn out that we grant a new trial, we could not do the injustice not to allow the plaintiff to increase his damages in the declaration.—Rule to show cause granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. KEMBLE V. FARREN. Arr. Serjeant SPANKIF. said he was instructed in this ea " to apply to the Court for a week's further time to complete a bill of exceptions. Their Lordships would re collect that it was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Charles Remble, against Mr. Farren, the celebrated actor, fora breach o f agreement, w h en the Jury returned a ver dict for the plaintiff with '750/ damages. A bill of ex. Ceptton was at t h e t i me ten d ere d, an d t h e present appli cation wa s for time to complete those exceptions.—Mo tion granted. IMPERIAL DISTILLERY C 13IPANY.--FOX V. CLIFTON AND OTIIERS. This was an action tried at the sittings before term, in London, and was brought by the plaintiff to recover 213a71. from: the deft ndants, shareholders in the late Itn- PeTial Distillery Company, for work and labour done, by order of the Directors of the Company, when the Jury found a - verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. Serjeant TADDT this morning obtained a rule to thew cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that it was contrary to the direction and summing up of the Learned Judge. KEI.sfE V. ENIMERSON. Mr. Serjeant CROSS applied for a rule to set aside the verdict in this case. It was an action tried at Lincoln, before Lord Tenterden, and was brought to recover the tuna of 211., balance of a valuation of certain property which the defendant hid agreed to take of the plaintiff. The only evidence in support of the plaintiff's case was the Person who made the valuation, and he swore that he was not at all acquainted or intimate with the plaintiff, and that the valuation was a fair one. It had since the trial been ascertained, however, such was not the fact ; but that he was on terms of intimacy with the plaintiff, and that the valuation was not a fair one.—Rule to shew cause g ranted. "IMIRED AND OTHERS V. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER. In this case, whi c h was an ac ti on tr i e d a t L an c a st e r, before Mr. Justice Litticdale, and related to the right of I:W'sent4tion to the Chapelry of Greybridge, a rule was gran ted to chew cause why the verdict, which was in favou r of the plaintiff, should not he set aside, and a non suit entered. CONSISTORY COURT. mornin This g the first Session in Michaelmas Term was ° Pened before Dr. LUSIIINGTON. There were very few Cage , .on the paper. MURDOCK V. MURDOCK. This was an a c ti on f or a di vorce b y reason o f crue lty t o I S 4 i! wife. I t was stated that, in consequence of his client ng confined for debt, lie could not enter upon the ne cessary Proceedings, but that lie intended to apply to his creditors for his release under the Insolvent Act. The case was ordered to stand over. LORD BRANDON V. LADY BRANDON. Bln this case a proxy was exhibited, signed by Lord randon, to stay any further proceedings against her Lady ship, and the Court was prayed to that effect. Some conversation arm relative to the costs, and Dr. L usHINGToN decided that Lord Brandon should pay all coats of the suit, after they bad been taxed. There was no other case of interest before the Court, and it.then adjourned. TIM MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). RAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.) ST. JAMES'S.

The DUKE and DUCHESS of BUCCLEUGH. Wednesday last their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh arrived at Dalkeith House. Great preparations had previously been made for the joyous reception of the illustrious young couple, not merely by their own house. hold and dependents, but - by the different Incorporations and inhabitants of the town of Dalkeith, which was to have been illuminated on the occasion. From the recent depri ♦ation, however, which the Noble Family have sustainel in the death of Lady Isabella Cost, his Grace's sister, any ebullitions of joy at the present time would have been highly indecorous. It was therefore resolved to refrain from these mirthful demonstrations, particularly as it was understoo 1 his Grace had signified that any thing of the kind would, under present circumstances, be disagreeable to him. It being known that the Duke and Ducbess were to leave the Earl of Home's seat of Hirsel, in Berwickshire, on Wed nesday morning, a number of the inhabitants of Dalkeith were on the alert, waiting their arrival, in order to give the young Duchess, who was now to come among them for the first time, such a welcome as would show their regard for the living, without evincing any want of respect for the dead. Accordingly, about three o'clock, the approach of the carriages was announced by hearty cheering, and the acclamations resounded until they reached the ancient family mansion—the recent residence of Royalty.— Glasy. Cour. His MAJESTY will hold a Court, at his Palace at Windsor, this day, to receive the report of the convicts capitally convicted at Justice-hall, in the Old Bailey, during the last Se,sions. The Princess AUGUSTA would, it was ex pected, leave the residence of the Earl and Countess of ARRAN, at Bognor, yesterday morning, and proceed to Worthing. Prince GEORGE of Cumberland, attended by the Countess of ScHuvrENßActi and the Rev. 11r. JELF, came to town yesterday morning, from Kew. His Royal Highness returned to Kew about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town yesterday, from his seat at Strathfieldsaye, Hants. His Grace had an interview in the afternoon with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign-office. The Duke also visited Mr. Secretary PEEL. The Colombian Minister was engaged for a considerable time yesterday afternoon, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with the Earl of ABERDEEN. Mr. CHAD has left town on his mission to Frankfort. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.--In consequence of the late Address of Lord GEORGE BERESFORD to the Electors of the county of Waterford, a communication was sent to the Noble Lord by Mr. WINSTON BARRON, the result of which was a hostile meeting between the parties, which took place this morning (Saturday, the 7th of No vember), about nine o'clock, in the demesne of Bishop's Hall, in the county Kilkenny—Lord GEORGE BERESFORD attended by Josxrst GREENE, Esq., Mr. BARRON attended by JOHN ALCOCK, Esq. The preliminary arrangements being made, the parties took their ground. After an ex change of two shots each, Mr. GREENE stated that both gentlemen having proved themselves men of courage, be could not allow the matter to proceed farther, and would therefore walk Lord GEORGE off the ground. The parties then separated without any reconciliation having taken place.— Waterford Chronicle of Saturday. Died, yesterday morning, at his house in Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square, EUGENIUS ROCHE, Esq. Editor of the Courier Newspaper. Mr. ROCHE joined the Press at an early age. He was for several years Edi tor of the Day. He afterwards became one of the Edi tors of the Post, on which he remained until 1827. He then returned to the Paper that he had quitted fifteen years before, and which had in the interim taken the name of the New Times. Mr. ROCHE edited the New Times for about twelve months, when he quitted it for the Courier, of which Paper he had a short time before be come a proprietor. Of this gentleman we now speak as of one who has been called to a state of existence where no differences about matters of temporary concernment are allowed to enter. And of him we may say truly that, if a life of simple and unaffected goodness, if great suavity of manners and great sweetness of temper, joined to a con stant and unremitting desire to contribute to the happiness of all with whom he came in contact—if these, heightened as they were in the deceased, with no inconsiderable scholar ship, and an understanding and fancy neither unenlightened nor languid, may be supposed to mark the tenant for such a sphere, the late Eunzmus RocHE was indeed possessed of all fitness. We have sometimes spoken severely of the Editor of the Courier, but it was of the political abstrac tion of which we spoke, not of the man who, during a lapse of more than twenty years that he was connected with the Journals of London, never gained an enemy nor lost a friend. Mr. ROCHE was twice married ; his second marriage took place about a year and a half ago. He has left an amiable widow and a very large family, the greater part of. them ynting.—Morning Journal.

THEATRICAL MISCELLANY.—When MA THEWS Was in Paris trying to seduce the elephant to de sert the Cirque Olympique, there was much haggling about terms. " Four thousand francs per month (1601.) !" quoth our British mimic ; " Prodigious !"—" But think of the applause he will bring down," cried Monsieur. " Bring down applause !" echoed MATHEws, eyeing the enormous quadruped, " hut he'll bring down the stage, perhaps." " Bah !" cried the Frenchman, " you must prop it up." 44 Ah ! it will take a great deal to do that," cried MaTHEws, (this fir fetched joke was lost upon the Gaul.) " Four thousand a month for one actor !" ejaculated the Adelphi Momus. " But con sider," whispered the cunning Frenchman, " he is the greatest actor on the stage, and when you don't want him yourself, you may let him out." " Let him out," echoed MATHEWS, " Why, zounds, he's too big already; my chief difficulty will be to take hint in ; it will require a passage almost as wide as the straits of Dover to admit him." The bargain was nearly concluded, when the Frenchman insisted as a sine qua non, that MATHEWS should pay for the polity of insurance for the great quad's safe arrival in London. The astonished Mana ger retreating three steps, shook his head doubtingly. " Assurance! my God ! bell not do then; for I never yet knew an actor succeed in London, who wanted as• suranee, except my friend YATES, and POWER of Co vent-garden." AMLPHI TIItAI RE. Billy Taylor, a new 13urlett3, founded on the eccentric ballad of that name, wai last n'ght brought out at this Theatre; and owing to the clever and laughable acting of J. REEVE, who is the main prop of the piece, and sings, laughs, rants, and dances in a spirit of first-rate humour—met with the most unequivocal succ,ss. The piece is reported to be written by Mr.BucKsTosE, and abounds in sprightly, though somewhat grotesque situations. COBURG THEATRE. A new five act Comedy, under the title of The Jew of Canada, was last night produced at this theatre. It was highly successful, and its produc tion reflects credit on the intelligence and enterprize of the Manager, who has had the good sense to prefer it to the thousand and one frantic melo dramas which have been so long allowed to usurp the English stage. The chief attractions of the evening were Messrs. DOWTON—one of the finest (if not the very finest) and most sterling comedians of the day; GATTIE—the inimitable Monsieur llfsrblcu, at the recollection of whose whimsical ex travagance in this popular character, our sides ache with laughing—and Miss S. Boon', long and deservedly known to the public as a spirited and accomplished actress. In addition to these well-known performers, there were Messrs. DAVIDGE, COBHAM, GOMERSAL, SLOMAN, and Mrs. DAVIDGE, which last, as the wife of DOW TON, the benevolent Jew, contributed in no slight degree to the success of the comedy. The after piece of the Young Widow followed, and gave Miss S. BooTtr, as Aurelia Fuirlove, an opportunity of displaying the great versatility of her talents. Tne house was thronged to suffocation, and greeted the newly-engaged actors, on their entrance, with the heartiest and most gratifying acclamations. The comedy was announced for repetition to.night, with out one dissentient voice. THE ARMY. The right wing of the 3d battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards received orders to march, on Satur day last, from Windsor, for Brighton. A detachment belonging to the 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment of Foot, has received orders to march thia morn ing from London, for Bristol, on route to join the regiment at Kinsale. A detachment belonging to the 12th (East Suffolk) Re giment of Infantry, has received orders to march this morn ing from London, for Bristol, on route to join the Reserve Companies at Londonderry. A detachment belonging to the '77th (East Middlesex) Regiment of Foot has received orders to march this morn ing, from London fur Bristol, on route to join the Reserve Companies at Clonmel. The Commander of the Forces is much dissatisfied with the investigation that took place in Fethard, into the cir cumstances of a fracas that occurred between a party of the military and then police ; it is stated that Sir John Byng expressed himself very strongly on the subject to Dr. Fitz gerald in the : Barrack-yard on Thursday last. An in quiry into the proceedings subsequent to the investigation in Fethard will be instituted. The public are aware that a policeman of the name of Donaldson was subsequently brought to trial before Dr. Fitzgerald, stipendary magis trate; the policeman then resigned.—Litnerick ehron. COTTON EXPORTS OF GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA. The commercial year having just closed, the following is a table of the exports of cotton from Georgia and South Carolina for the years 1828 and 1829: The last crop was more than a full one ; but, accord. ing to accounts from the interior of the two States, the present crop will fall considerably short.

Letters from Augusta state that it is now fully ascer tained that the present upland crop will be a short one. The stock of Old Cotton, on the Ist September, was 1,401 bales against 4,342 bales at the same period last year. Receipt of New Cotton, 1,030 bales against 1,649 bales at the same period last year. The new crop selling from 8} to 9 cents, and arriving very slowly. Papers were received to-day from the Westward. From St. John's, New Brunswick, they are to the 17th Sept., and state that a severe gale had been experienced there, which had done great damage to the shipping. The weather generally had been so bad as much to retard the ripening of grain ; and high prices, consequently, were demanded for most descriptions. The General Assembly had been prorogued to the second Tuesday in December. The Quebec Papers to the Bth ult. state that consider able satisfaction bad been produced there by the passing of the new Representation Bill for that province. In con sequence of the alteration made by this Act, eight new members would be forthwith elected for the townships, and about thirty more for the provinces. Information re lative to the other Bills which were to be passed, viz the Soccage Tenure Bill, the Jews' Register Bill, the Pa rochial Division Bill, the Bill for continuing the Provincial Parliament to the King's demise, &c.—was most anxiously expected. The Dean and Chapter of Limerick have in timated to all their tenants a reduction of 20 per cent. in their rents, in consequence of the depression of the times. DRURY- LANE THEATRE.--.--We regret to find it stated in, a Sunday Paper, that the want of public sup port has compelled the Manager of Prury-lane Theatre to call upon the principal Members of the Company to suspend their claims fur one-fourth of their salaries during the next ten weeks, until the more profitable period of the season shall have arrived. We rejoice to lee that the sacrifice has not been required from the inferior i!alaries, where it would be felt as a distressing privation. If it be true that the necessities of the Theatre have called for any such arrange ment as this, we cordially hope that the very praiseworthy exertions of the Manager will meet their reward in &prompt and liberal extension of public support. THE DONERAILE CONSPIRACY—RESPITE FOR Joint LEARY. —Our London cotemporaries are ring ing as many changes on the late Special Commission, and have had recourse to as much commentary in the shape of dictation to the Irish Law Officers of the Crown, on the discharge of their duty, as if the Editors held the admi nistration of the Government in their own hands. They have even gone so far as to say that the four men, who have been convicted, should not suffer the full penalty of the law, because it was on the same testimony on which they were condemned that those subsequently tried were acquitted. Now how stands the case ? It was proved on undoubted testimony, that JAMES MAG RATH and JAMES ROCHE were of the party who fired at Mr. G. BOND Low ; and he must be very hard to be convinced indeed, who could doubt for a moment that MICHAEL SHINE was of the party who fired into Dr. NORCOTT'S carriage, and wounded his servants. We have reason to believe that the Government are perfectly satisfied with this view of the case, and that they are of opinion that public justice will be best administered by acting on it. With this feeling, we should suppose, has a tespite to the 20th of April nest been sent down to the old man, JOHN LEARY, which was received yesterday. The law, we be lieve, will take its course on Saturday next on JAMES MAGRATH, JAMES ROCHE, and MI CHAEL S HINE , at the drop entertained, o of the co u n t y gauas the int ent i on, if any suc h wa s executing them near the scene of their crimes, has been given op.-- Cork Contitsaion. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. So thin was the attetyLnee, and so limited the betting, that we need only refer to our Riper of Friday last for the present state of the odds, aiding to them 40 to 1 agst Air. Shard's De 'ere. There is some improvement in Brunswieker, who was backed at 14 to 1 ; the same gen tleman who took them offering also to haztk him agst Cetus for 500 even. The Mummer keeps steady at the head of the list ; there were plenty of commissions to take S to 1, but no bidders over 7to 1. Cetus declines a little in fa sour, without any palpable variation in the quotation. As it is probable that Sir Mark 'Wood's lot may be backed occasionally, it may be as well to state that it consists of the Mummer, Cetus, and a co't by Middleton, dam by Smolensko—Zoraida. 'We believe Sir Mark was once in treaty for the Cressida colt, thinking, perhaps, to make sure of the Derby, upon the same principle that the Irish man insured winning all the prizes in the Lottery, by " buying all the tickets." The Leeway filly is in greater force than last week, several who have laid the odds against her evincing a strong desire to get out of it ; she has been beaten twice, and they hedge to this by saying that she stopped in both her races. This may possibly be the case, but it does not appear to us that she ought to be anywhere in the betting, even supposing she did show such faint-heartedness.—At the sale in the yard Captain Berkeley's f. Credulity was sold for 25 guineas, and Mr. Greville's Blue Bonnet for 19 guineas ! ! In our last ac eount we stated the Nina colt at 25 to 1 ; it should have been the Nina filly, and for the Oaks. Prince GEORGE of Cumberland witnessed the "Lord Mayor's Show" from the house of Messrs. RUNDE L L and BRIDGE in Ludgate-street. His Royal Highness seemed delighted with the pageant, and gracefully returned the sa lutations. of the different occupantrof the state carriages as they passed. The interesting young Prince more than di vided the attention of the people with the great object of their annual curiosity and admiration. The Bth of November being the day impera tively fixed by the statute for swearing in the LORD MAYoa elect in the city, previous to the same ceremony being per formed on the 9th at Westminster, the sheriff and city officers met at the Mansion-house soon after the conclusion of the morning service, and proceeded from thence to Guildhall, where a Court of Aldermen was held. The Court broke up at nearly three o'clock, and soon after the Loan MAYOR, Lord Mayor elect, aldermen, sheriffs, city officers, &c. entered the Hall and took their seats amidst loud plaudits ; the usual oathsand declarations having been administered to the Loan MAYOR elect by the town clerk, the former immediately took possession of the civic chair, which had been previously vacated by the Loan MAYOR for the past year. As soon as his Lordship had taken his seat, the venerable city chamberlain thrice approached the table, bowing, and presented to the Loan MAYOR the sceptre, the city purse, and seal ; in the same manner the sword bearer acquitted hi inself, his Lordship returning the sword to him again, as the proper depository thereof. The ceremony having been concluded, the Loan MAYOR re ceived the hearty congratulations of his fellow-citizens. An anecdote respecting Miss FANNY KEM BLE has been copied from a provincial Paper into some of the London Papers, in itself highly improbable, and ac tually untrue ; but, like many other improbabilities and untruths, it is founded in fact. We believe we are fully authorised to give the following version of it as correct:— "At the first rehearsal of Ronrea and Juliet, when Miss KEMBLE assumed the attitude in question, a Gentleman connected with the Theatre exclaimed, CANOVA ! CA NOVA !' After the rehearsal the young Lady said to Mrs. KEMBLE, en badinage, Mother, did you see my CA NOVA?' "—lt is too absurd to suppose, that with all the anxiety attending so novel and suddenly assumed a position, and with the very rudiments of her new profession to learn, a young person capable of showing the judgment as well as talent Miss KEMBLE has evinced, should have commenced her career by imitating CANovA's attitudes, or doing any thing but accommodating her deportment to her own ideas of the situation. Added to this, supposing the story first given to be true, it may be worth while to ask, from which of CANOVA'S sculptures is it pretended that the study was taken ? A detachment from WOMBWELL'S and MORGAN'S collection of wild beasts, in four caravans, was exhibited at Grimsby on Monday week and on Tuesday, on their route from Hull towards the south. About feeding time, in the evening of the latter day, an accident hap pened to one of the assistants, which so disconcerted the nerves of the spectators that they flew out of the caravans with great precipitation; and even the big drummer was so affected that he was unable to labour in his thundering vocation. The poor fellow hid placed a ladder against the bars of the leopard's den, in order to amuse the company by distributing fruit or biscuits amongst the smaller ani mals in the cages above, when the ladder suddenly slipped, and in the struggle the man's hand fell within the mon ster's reach, who instantly seized it with great fury, and though the keeper very promptly relieved him from his perilous situation by sticking a hay-fork into the leopard's nose, yet the injury he had sustained was so great as to endanger the loss of his hand.— York Herald. By the great number of prosecutions insti tuted by the French Government against the metropolitan and provincial journals, it would appear, either that the French Ministers are very despotic, or that the French press is very ill-disposed. Every liberal political journal in Paris, the Constitutionnel, the Journal des Debats, the Courrier Francais, the Journal du Commerce, and several of the smaller literary papers, have been cited on different allegations to appear before the Court of Correc• tional Police, where their editors may have the pleasure of hearing their names called over, in conjunction with those of drunken brawlers, or the nightly disturbers of the peace. In the provinces, prosecutions have commenced against the Precurseur de Lyons, the Sentinelle de s Deux-Sevres, the Indicateur de Bordeaux, the Journa l de Rouen, the Courrier de la Moselle, and others. A considerable number of these provincial vexations have been instituted for the publication of the Brittany project for resisting illegal taxation, which, in Paris, has been pronounced to be no offence. The French Academy on Thursday elected M. do la MARTINE, the celebrated poet, to fill the chair, vacant by the death of Count DARu, author of the elabo rate history of Venice. The list of candidates for this honour amounted at first to six or seven, (including the names of M. SALVANDY, Count de BAssisro, and M. PORGERVILLE), but the contest lay at last between Gene ral de SEGUR, author of the history of the Russian cam paign, and M. de la MARTINE. The number of acade micians who voted on this occasion was 33, of whom 19 declared for the poet, and 14 for the General. The Academy could not have made a better choice, as, in con ferring an honour on M. de la MARTINE, it has conferred a greater honour on itself. The Meditations Poctiques, and some of the more recent poems of the new Acade mician, are known over all Europe, while few of the works of his elder colleagues have established titles to fame recognized as legitimate and lasting even by their own countrymen. To him, therefore, it must have been a matter of perfect indifference whether he obtained a seat among the immortal FORTY or not, so long as he occupied such an undisputed eminence on the French Parnassus ; but it redounds highly to the character of the Academy to have brought within its sphere such a brilliant reputation. M. de la MARTINE is known as the founder of the new or romantic school of French poetry, which has enrolled among its disciples M. VICTOR HuGo, Count de VIGNY, with others of. less note ; and among its admirers, a great part of the educated youth of France. Last week a man who stood in the range of target firing, whilst the military were at exercise on the Strand, was shot dead.—Limerick Chronicle. A FUNNY OCCURRENCE.—During last week the following circumstance has been the theme of conver sation in the good city of Lincoln :—" A tradesman, who, to acquire business, is obliged occasionally to leave home in the capacity of a Commercial Solicitor,' in the begin ning of the week started for a three days' journey : hav ing completed his engagements before he calculated he should, he:returned home, unexpectedly and unlooked for, his frail rib was, he supposed, locked in the arms of Morpheus, and he with great care awoke her; she came down, welcomed his return, and provided supper: being fatigued, he soon retired to bed—scarcely had he closed his eyes, than his wife complained of a violent attack of the spasms, and implored him to fetch her some brandy: with alacrity and affection he quickly obeyed her wish ; he procured the brandy, and the servant at the public house said, I'll give you your change in the morning !' What change ? I asked fur a shilling's worth ; I want no change !' Yes, sir, you gave me . a sovereign." A what?' A sovereign, Sir.' Impossible !' Again he dipped, and found fourteen more in the same pocket. 4 By what magic is this effected—all my shillings turned into sovereign s ?' The girl being of that notable class, chambermaids, slily asked him if they were his own inex pressible.: The murder was out !'—he dashed the brandy to the ground—flew to his home—the spasms were better, but his small clothes gone. Oh ! for Don JUAN !" SPIRIT Or TIIE PUI3LIC JOURNALS. All the letters which we receive from Ireland are filled with rejoicing at the issue of the Cork prosecutions, and with honest, not factious, re joicing; because the persuasion seems now to be general, that the evidence for the Crown con tained at least a large admixture of unprincipled falsehood; and that, had the men found guilty on the first trial been hanged, it would have been regarded by the people as a legal murder. In another case, the law officers of the Crown have hitherto been more successful : we mean the prosecution of a confederacy of sawyers, for cruelly beating a poor man of the name of Han lon to death in the streets of Dublin, and in the open day. Not having seen any adverse re marks upon the composition of the Jury in the latter instance, when two of the murderers were found guilty, we may perhaps assume that the Jurors were fairly chosen; but the impression, we are bound to say, is far otherwise with respect to the first Cork Jury. We of course do not join in with those who charge the verdict against Leary and his fellow-prisoners to the circum stance of their being tried by a Jury in which there was not a single Catholic to be found : on the contrary, it is very probable, that had we ourselves been on that Jury, whose functions ceased before Mr. O'Connell's dexterous and masterly cross-examination of the witnesses, and before Baron Pennefather's discovery of the variance between the depositions and the testi mony in open Court had thrown fresh light upon the sort .of authority by which men's lives were about to be sworn away from them,—had we been upon the Jury in question, it is possible that we should have concurred with the rest, and joined in the verdict of guilty ; nevertheless, we are not disposed to acknowledge that our Protestantism, however strenuous, would have found its way into the jury box. But the deplorable consideration is, that they who have the right of returning a county panel, or of challenging from amongst its members, should overlook the obvious mischief of giving a party colour to the composition of the jury. If a Protestant jury acquit a prisoner, a mixed jury would in all human likelihood have done the same ; in which case the exclusion of Catholics has been altogether a gratuitous interference. If the Protestant jury convict a prisoner in whose fate the multitude seem disposed to sympathize, how monstrously invidious and dangerous must the exclusion of Catholic jurors appear to every man who feels the importance of satisfying a jea lous community that justice has been well ad ministered. What can follow from this childish obstinacy in objecting to Catholic jurors, but the infusion into the Catholic mind of a spirit which would render Catholics really incapable of that sacred office ? The Legislature has said, "We will henceforth recognise no sects ;" the Crown lawyers or solicitors say, " We will industriously perpetuate their warfare." Why, if we had, as dispassionate friends of Ireland, been asked to choose, whether a law in favour of Catholics should be passed by Parliament, the temper of the official subalterns and factious Magistrates remaining unchanged, or whether the old law should be administered in a conciliatory and fraternal spirit, we could never have hesitated to throw the Relief Bill into the fire, and to sub stitute for it (if the two blessings were not to be had simultaneously) a frank, and kindly, and confidential treatment - of Catholics by, their Pro testant neighbours. For our parts, it seems in finitely less embarrassing to Government that nine criminals out of every ten should escape, than that the conviction of one in ten should be ascribed to a packing of the jury. We must express our unfeigned astonishment that the common sense of the thing has not yet forced it self on the judgment of those who manage the Crown prosecutions, and shown them that if they want Catholics to yield willing obedience to the law, they must take measures for satisfying the same Catholics that the Protestant commu nity wish nothing more than an equal and honest administration of it. We are happy to see that Lord Killeen bids fair to come in as Member for Meath, on the accession of Lord Bective (by his father's death) to the Peerage. If Lord Killeen were a less respectable nobleman than he is, prudential reasons might recommend him to the electors of a county desirous of domestic peace, but being what a long course of temperate and honourable public conduct proves him, we cannot conceive any man, who, in all points of view, would be a more fit county Member for Ireland than the son and immediate heir of the venerable Earl of Fingal.—Times. We observe that iu the Report of the Dinner, at Youghal, on Sunday week, Mr. O'Connell is reported to have charged the Solicitor-General with a knowledge of the absence of all mention of the tent scene in Daly's first information, and to have threatened him with an inquiry else where—in Parliament we presume. What he says is so remarkable that we shall here insert it : " In my examination of that respectable and honest witness, Mr. Freeman—for honest freemen are found elsewhere as well as in Youghal—when questioning as to the character of Owen Daly, and whether what Daly swore against him in the infor mations was true, Judge Torrens—and it only proved his ignorance —wanted to prevent the ques tion. Baron Pennefather, though not trying the case, over-ruled the question ; and, perhaps, spared the lives of twenty-one innocent men by his deci sion. I shall not say anything of Torrens now—if I were satisfied with him I may speak of him, he shall now have the praise of silence. Of the Soli citor-General I shall not say much here; but else where, when I shall procure an impartial hearing, I shall talk of him—aye, loud and long I shall talk of him, for with him I am much dissatisfied. What becomes of the affected candour and the often ex pressed solicitude for public justice of the Solicitor- General, when we contrast his conduct at Clonmel, on the trial of the Borris-o'-kane cases with his re cent conduct at Cork, during the trial of the con spiracy cases ? In Clonmel he insisted upon the exa mination of Doctor Heise, on the part of the pri soners, in order that he might have an op portunity of cross-examining him; and in Cork, although the death-warrant scene in the tent at Rathclare, must have been briefed to him— that scene where Patrick Daly swore the murder of the three Magistrates was concocted, and the awful warrant signed on the 27th—yet omitted all refer ence to it when swearing his informations on the 29th April: I say, when the Solicitor-General must have been aware of this, and withheld all knowledge of it from the prisoners and their Coun sel, what becomes of this parade of anxiety for pub lic justice ? Yes, the death warrant, it was sworn by the informer Daly, was signed by four of the con spirators—the fair of Knockaderry was the place appointed for carrying it partly into effect—a few days, and the lives of several were to be cut shat by the ruthless hands of ruffian assassins; the in former is sworn, when developing the conspiracy, and the form of the oath is not you shall true an swers make to such questions,' ire., but shall tell the truth, the whale truth, and nothing but :he truth ;' yet, Sir, the death-warrant is forgotten— and iough the swearing of the information takes place in less than forty-eight hours after the signa tures have been affixed to the dreadful instrument of death, not a word is told —at least sworn to in the informations.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—The Solicitor- General knew all this, for when the Clerk of the Crown was reading the informations, the Crown Prosecutor made such a marked correction to the officer that convinces me the death-warrant scene was briefed to him. I hope to God that what I say will be borne on the wings of the mighty Press, and the truly independent portion of it will not fear what those in power may do; for if the Solicitor- General shall attempt to muzzle that Press, by filing criminal informations, I am ready and willing to meet him hand to hand on that ground.--(Cheers:)" Mr. O'Connell is, of course, better' stile to judge than we can be supposed to be whethey it is possible to make any persons, engaged i•N si criminal prosecution, responsible for their con- - duct in the proceedings preparatory to trial. We were not aware, however, that any degree of rda sponsibility attached to any man. The English system of judicial procedure has always seemed to us an admirable contrivance for allowing func tionaries to escape from all responsibility.. A whole bevy of Magistrates may, in the first in stance, be busied with swearing the informations. so that if there are three or four informations sworn by any one informer, they may be sworn before different Magistrates, and each may dis claim all knowledge of more than his own. It is affirmed in the correspondence of a contem porary, that no blame can attach to Mr. Bar rington, the Crown Solicitor for the Munster Circuit. But supposing the Crown Solicitor were to have kept the Solicitor-General in igno rance, in the point under consideration, he is not a personage whose functions are of a nature to attach any responsibility to him. The Soli. citor-General is, no doubt, a public officer, tsg, he is not more chargeable with the conduct of a trial than any other barrister. If the persons engaged in prosecutions were to be without scruple, they might hang a man any day in the year, by a judicious management of evidence, without any degree of responsibility attaching itself to any one, except a case of conspiracy could be made out—a thing impossible, or at least next to impossible. There is, no doubt, a punishment for perjured witnesses. Irresponsibility in cases of prosecution shows it self much oftener in allowing the guilty to escape than in seeking to convict the innocent. The publicity of the proceedings, and the horror which would be inspired by the discovery of an attempt at judicial assassination, will generally be a sufficient security in this respect. But ir responsibility is often shown in the conniving at the escape of notorious guilt. If the criminal be rich, and powerfully connected, the fear or the avarice of prosecutors is appealed to, often with success. The Magistrate who takes the deposition is not responsible—the prosecutor cannot be compelled to do more than pay the sum in his recognizance. The Judges call on the case, look exceedingly grave when no ap pearance is made, and express their surprise, and all is over. Mr. O'Connell says distinctly, ? hal Imrinoltelih''niledel that "there was a conspiracy to procure the death of innocent men. There is a question racy engage there was ; where there are spies 'tis easy arises here, was there not a conspiracy to find conspirators ; and I warn gentlemen from playing with such sharp instruments, which, like knives in the hands of children, may turn and wound those who use them. The employment of spies will create conspiracies ; and as these labourers cannot procure employment, as there is no half-pay for their idle hours, they will con• trive to create it. They are not, in that respect, like yeomanry permanenced ; a spy will easily find colleagues of his own to do the work ; and there was a conspiracy which took even a higher aim than even the middling class of farmers, and we can account for the introduction of the name of that respectable Magistrate, Mr. Clancy, of Charleville, when we know that lie was envied by those little shoneens, who make out a preca rious livelihood between loyalty and the law of Debtor and Creditor." How this may be we know not ; but sure we are, that where men are disposed to such things, a system of procedure, which allows of irresponsibility to so fearful an extent, is the best of all instruments for their wicked purpose. The criminal system of Eng land, to be innoxious, must be in very upright hands. We would fain believe that the accusa tion of Mr. O'Connell is, in this respect, with out foundation.—Morning Chronicle. A very slight circumstance to appearance has often a wonderful effect in human affairs. The liberation of the serfs of the Livonian provinces of Russia is understood to have been effected through the simple circumstance of allowing the serfsa right to complain of ill-treatment toJudges appointed and paid by the Crown. The French West India Islands were indebted for their great superiority over the English to the circumstance of a creditor having no power to secure himself on land, so that the Proprietors were compelled either to reside on their plantations, or to part with them to purchasers able to pay them, and thus the scourge of English West India pro perty, nominal proprietors and effective pro prietors under the name of mortgagees, was avoided. A slight circumstance in like manner serves to account for the moderation of the French Seigneurs under the ancien regime in punishing those under their jurisdiction. The great scourge of England, and still more of Ireland, is the facility of commitment by Magistrates. The Magistrate is subject to no responsibility, and tile charges are defrayed . out of the county rates. In " Jefferson's Memoirs and Correspondence," there is a very curious diary of a journey per formed by him through France and a part ot . Italy, in which he states a circumstance sufficient to account for the moderation of the Seigneurs. " I passed some time," he says, " at the Cha teau de Laye-Epinaye. Monsieur de Laye has a seignory of about 15,000 arpents, in pasture, corn, vines, and wood. He has over•this, as usual a certain jurisdiction, both criminal and civil. But this extends only to the first crude examination, which is before his Judges. The subject is referred for final examination and de cision to the regular judicatures of the country. The Seigneur is keeper of the peace in his do mains. He is, therefore, subject to the expense of maintaining it. A criminal prosecution to sentence and execution costs M. de Laye about five thousand livres. This is so burdensome to the Seigneurs, that they arc slack in criminal cause l p f ro t s i e le c s u e ti s on ei s g . n A eur g s o t o la d d e i ff lo ec t t b f e r e o n m d a ep h r a i d vedof t the power of trying and sentencing as well as coin tTm themrhi taet tyrannical n ns gliaic,gna anxious F aimt ko r o a epuuc n l sitncrcr circumstance Calabria onl mea w gsb: o prot u iarfao l . en d nsca ee theirrct l v ihoaeeuvpenupt counterpart s e rere x t, 1 connecting purses peace i i erif b ata i tcttpuoeei punishment naturally bliul syya Ireland. m ad e means. withhe a i c n h tsi : eine A more orderly and peaseible people than the French did notexist ; but in unpaid a id unpaying Magistracylvould soon have mat's 00110 Year. 1829 1828
