merous, important, and consequential ; but they are sup ported by a mass of erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand our most serious attention, and many, in common with myself, will lament that they have drank at the stream more freely than at the fountain."— Lacon, C. C. Colton. " I content myself with submitting the grand point on which any difference of opinion on Joshua x. 12, 13, can exist to the generality of your readers, and leave them to determine for themselves whether it be easier to understand a verse which states, that when Joshua commanded, in the sight of Israel, the sun was setting on Gibeon, whilst the moon was rising on the valley of Ajalon,' or a transla tion which asserts, that the same chieftain said, in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Ajalon.' "—Yarchi. No. 220, 230, and No. 12, New Series of " The Monthly Repository and Review of Theology and General Litera ture," December, 1827. Joshua x. 12, 13, was previously given in No. 60 of the " Classical Journal," and promulgated in the " Liverpool Advertiser," " Durham Chronicle," and " Norwich Mer cury, in 1825. To the Right Honourable Lord John Russell, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. Your Lordship, In a paragraph you penned, having promulgated an ar dent hope that our country should be the halcyon ground On which holy peace be found," prompts us to become your auxiliaries, to give it effect and perpetuity. If, on the slight premises set forth, one Sovereign should deem it expedient, for a people's welfare, here and here after, to act to that extent, it may now be maintained, without fear of contradiction, that a similar proceeding is imperative., In this our day, " our translation" is not im pugned (taking the various denominations from Sir Robert Peel's eulogy of his friends) by " Unitarians," " Indepen dents," the " Wesleyan Methodists," or " the Roman Catholies"*—either who sink the honour of God amidst the offal of their hue.and-cry of " Church Service," " Church Ministers," " Church Maintenance," " Church Rates," &c., or by those " whose object is no longer confined to insidious and disguised attacks on the Church of Christ, but has manifested itself in that open and determined hostility to it which, in the paroxysms of their enthusiasm, they have promised themselves will terminate in its total destruction. * * # I feel myself justified in guar ding against what appears to me to be the conse quences, naturally, and evidently resulting from that heterogeneous association of religious professors, for the advancement of an object of at least questionable ex pediency, in the Bible being regarded as the general test book of authority for all opinions, as containing, if we may so say, a sort of raw material, which every professor, in the liberal spirit of the day, is left to work up and fashion to his own peculiar taste ; as if by a strange transposition of the sacred language, diversity of opinion, not " unity of spirit," was to become "Mc bond rf pence"(a.) " Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purposes of a life beyond life. It is true no age can restore a life, whereof, perhaps there is no great loss ; and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which who's nations lase the worse. We should he wary therefote what perse cution we raise against the labours of men stored up in h'mLs, since we see a kind of homicide may he fiats com roitted—sotnethnes a 111fItt:, niorn—and if it ex!end to ill,: vhole impression, a kind of mas;aere, whereof• the exc,-,u tim ends not in the slayii.g of elemental life, kit strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; sh.vs an immorta4ity rather than a life.

Vide the Examiner. Sunday, Nov. 3, 1822; Aug. 23, and Sept. 2. 1827. The priest and prince were contemporaneous. The priest well knew that " the fiat of the Almighty" had gone forth, that " the hnovdedgo of Him should cover the earth tlnt waters the sea ;" and yet impiously promulgated his nioing blast ; and without the rcoorling angel as it wrote it, down dropt a tear upon the deed, in his verbiage upon poor Protestants' opacity—" in hell l:e lifts his eyes." Tho prince magnanimously gave " his countenance" and hi, purse—he " hailed the intellectual sun before its beams bad reached c horizon of common minds ;" neither on his head, heart, or ;lands lay the damning sin of " a kind of massacre, where in the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental I;fe, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; slays an immortality rather than a life." • The aspirations of her people are—that the dawning (jubilee) and close of the reign of our youthful Queen may be like the illustrious Elizabeth, and that she may be the polar-star and beacon by which the " pride of our isles" may glide safely amidst the shoals and quicksands of Government.' " Not only do we owe to the happy Reformation all the domestic advantages by which we are distinguished above other States, but it is also to the Reformation we are in debted for our present political consequence and territorial grandeur," * * " Then sprung up the mighty Elizabeth, and mingling her existence as a Sovereign with the preservation of the true faith, lashing herself to the mainmast of Reformation ; on that vessel she securely rode the storm, and established the independence of her kingdom." There were several reviews on the new Translators' pro duction of the Pentateuch. Here again the munificence of our Sovereign's truly august uncle was so conspicuous—his gracious command for 50 copies ! and so stifled all further opposition, that the subsequent parts published in 1825, 1831, 1834, and 1835—t0 these there has been that tacit concurrence, that we arc justified in saying "the silence of the Clergy has given consent." Into your hands we commit the "talents," Matt. xxv. 20.

Our object is the strictest adherence, in letter and line, to its landmarks. We have the pleasure of bringing under your perusal a paragraph which might mingle with the most splendid ora tions of antiquity, and which we hope will be recognised with satisfaction :—" May the diffusion of knowledge, the increase of religion and morality, and the augmented hap piness of the people, make the present reign more glorious than triumphs in the field have rendered those that preceded it, and peace have her victories no less renowned than war "t We have the honour to remain, Your Lordship's Most obedient humble servants, CONSTITUTIONALISTS.

As their acute consciences kept them Dissenters from our Church, either from " Church Ser vice," or " Church Maintenance," it was reasonably to be expected from them that they would have gladly embraced what tended to " remove from their eyes the film of earthly dross." and not have given from their desks what was regu lated by the niceties of grammatical construction, and the real vernacular accent, to enlighten their hearers in Hebrew verity, and not to be found among Southcotians, Ranters, Seekers, Sliders, Swadlers, Tumblers, Jerkers, Jumpers, Dunkers, Sunkers, Shouters, and Shakers.

(44./ 1311 LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1837 from noticing more at large the very able address of the Hon. Gentleman. We direct the attention of such of our readers as are incredulous respecting the influence which one honest Reformer may exercise in the removal of the most deeply-rooted abuses, to the speech of Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, at a meeting of the Lord Mayor and Com mon Council of the City of London on Thursday, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The object of the meeting was to present Mr. PEAR SON with the thanks of the Court for his valuable ser vices for a period of twenty years, accompanied with a splendid piece of plate, to the purchase of which every member of the Court had been a sub scriber. Never was tribute better merited—though not so much from the Court of Common Council, as from the great body of the citizens of London. When, twenty years ago, Mr. PEARSON took his seat in that Court, he found it literally little better than a " den of thieves." Justice was bought and sold. The City Judicial Officers were the mere creatures of the At torney-General. The Lord Mayor, in too many In stances, was the puppet of the Premier; and for a title, or a Government contract, was frequently ready to barter away the independence of the City. The Court of Aldermen imitated the conduct of the civic Chief Magistrate, and the Court of Com mon Council followed respectfully in the wake of that worshipful body. Mr. PEARSON declared himself the enemy of this system from the • outset, and though at first fighting single-handed against hun dreds, the cause of truth and justice prevailed. His friends, it appears, predicted otherwise, and among them Lord ERSKINE, who advised him to prefer his own safety to a martyrdom, which would prove unavailing to his fellow citizens. " Young man," observed his Lordship, addressing Mr. PEARSON, " mark my words—the good you seek to achieve will be spread over so large a surface that no one' will ac knowledge the obligation ; the evil, on the con trary, will be felt by the few who now profit by the system, and they will never forget nor forgive your interference." We rejoice, with the honest civic Reformer to whom these words were ad dressed,- to be able to record how greatly Lord ERSKINE was mistaken. But the error was not in his Lordship's misconception of the hostility of the per petrators of abuse. There he was perfectly right. His prediction went for nothing, because lie under rated the talents, the energy, the perseverance, and the honest consistency of the young Reformer to whom he addressed himself'. He looked upon Mr. PEA R SON as a yotmg man of ardent temperament, but no very mature views, who would either be overwhelmed by the hostility of thre abettors of abuse, or in a few years be bought over by them. Had Mr. PEARSON been an ordinary individual, his Lordship's prediction would assuredly have been realized ; and that it has been reversed, is the best proof that can possibly be adduced of his sterling itir.lits. Let us therefore hear no more about individuals being able of themselves to effect nothing in the way of reform. One individual, if he have but talents, honesty, and consistency, may re move momitains—may effect all diet politicians call impossibihties. It will bc seen by a letter from Mr. O'CONNELL to Mr. HENRY CoPPock, Town Clerk of Stock port, that the lion. Member for Dublin has readily accepted the invitation to dine with the Reformers of Stockport, on Monday, November 13. The dinner is to be given in honour of the presentation of a piece of plate to HENRY MARSLAND, Esq., M.P., and IL COBDEN, Esq., the unsuccessful candidate at the last election. Mr. O'CoNN ELL'S letter contain many excellent points worthy the consideration of all true Reformers ; and we cordially join with him in the wish that there was a Reform Association or Club in every town, city, and village in England. It is only by a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, that a complete Reform can be achieved. Among other satisfactory signs of the Times, we may mention the establishmeet of a new weekly Liberal Paper, the Mertkyr and Cardiff Chronicle, which has within the last few months been established in the centre of one of the most Tory districts in South Wales. Till this Journal appeared, the only one in Merthyr, and for some miles round, was the illerthyr Guardian, which was supported, of course, by all the high Tory party, especially the Parsons, who made a point of zealously recommending it to the notice of all over whom they exercised the slightest in fluence. The establishment of the Liberal Chronicle will go far to remedy this state of things. It is conducted with considerable ability, by a gentleman well qualified to discuss the great political questions of the day—as he has already proved by his various leading articles — and is cordially supported by all the leading Reformers in South Wales. When we bear in mind what the Principality was some years ago, when the WYIsTNES ruled the roast in the North, and the DYNEVORS and MORGANS in the South, it is impossible not to be struck with the rapid strides that Reform has made throughout its length and breadth. In another part of The Sun will be found a highly interesting report of the proceedings at the grand dinner given by the Reformers of North Cheshire to E. J. STANLEY, Esq., their talented and deservedly respected Representative. This celebration took place at Staleybridge on Wednesday last, and is, it appears, to be followed by another in a different quarter of the northern district of the county. This, taken along with other things, does not look as if the general re action which, according to the Tories, has done such wonders for them, had yet made much progress in the North. Indeed, one of the most unaccountable characteristics of this noted General is the capriciousness of his movements. He is said by his friends always to be actuated by motives not of a local or partial nature, but supplied to him from the common source of all Tory grievances, the mal-administration of public affairs ; and yet it is re marked as a curious instance of what some philoso phers call " invariable sequence," that the conquests made by the General in the English counties are uni formly in proportion to the extent of the territorial possessions of the party in whose service he is em ployed. What can be the reason of so extraordinary a coincidence ? Will the organs of Toryism expound ? Mr. STANLEY'S speech at this festival will be read with great interest. It is manly and eloquent. While the Hon. Gentleman does the Government the justice to which they are entitled for having done a great deal of good, and intended much more, which they could not do on account of the obstacles thrown in their way ; he lays on the lash, with cutting but just severity, upon the back of that pestilent faction, by whose unprincipled machinations the course of Reform has been obstructed. The Hon. Member in alluding to the deceitful misre presentations of the Tories on the subject of the late elections observed --and who can deny the truth of the observation—that the character of the county constituency had been so altered by the admission of 501. tenants-at-will to the franchise, that the conclusion drawn from the state of the poll at a County Election, which would have been just before the passing of the Reform Bill, would not be so now. I , To remedy the evil of this dependent state of the greater portion of the County Constituency, Mr. STANLEY looks to the public opinion. We con fess that we look to something more. We have a sincere respect for public opinion. We know that it can do great things ; bnt we also know that there are ome things which it cannot do, and one of these is to make a Tory landlord blush. We would avail ourselves of this mighty engine, but we would not trust to it alone. We would assist and accelerate its operation by such legislative enactments as House hold Suffrage, vote by Ballot, and Triennial Parlia ments. We would also, in order to give the desired effect to these and all other reforms, take immediate steps to enlighten the people by a general and com prehensive plan of education, by which the masses might be instructed in their civil and political, as well as in their moral and religious duties. We are sorry that our limited space prevents us There is a trial in our paper to-day to which we beg to draw the attention of our readers. It spews, be yond any case in our recollection, the extent to which a person calling himself a gentleman, and moving in a sphere of life in which the feelings of a gentleman are generally supposed to be imbibed, can dispense with the laws of honour. Happily, the sting which he aimed at the bosom of the innocent has pierced his own. The Glasgow Chronicle of Saturday last contains the report of the proceedings at a public dinner given by the spirited Reformers of Ayrshire to their excel lent Representative Captain DUNLOP, of Dunlop, which we regret to say the crowded state of our co lums prevents us from extracting. Six hundred staunch Reformers sat down to table, including Mr. WAL LACE, M.P. for Greenock; Sir JOHN CUNNING HAM FAIRLIE, Bart., the Rev. Messrs. WILSON and CAMPBELL, and most of the other leading Re formers of the county. The speeches of Captain DUNLOP and the Rev. Mr. WILSON, were fraught with good counsel, and dwelt on the necessity, civil, religious, and moral, of supporting to the utmost the Melbourne Ministry. Captain DUNLOP, in addres sing the company on the policy which he deemed safest for the country, said— It is because I seek to promote those measures that you have supported me, and it is because I leave I believe these to be the objects of Lord Melbourne's Administration that I have supported him, and will continue to support him. I admire Lord Melbourne's conduct as a Minister, because I believe him to be an honest and straightforward Reformer, who is sincerely anxious to do all in his power to strengthen and purify our institutions. On our desire to promote reli gious instruction no pains has been spared to misrepresent our motives, and impress the public with a belief that the measures of Government will have a directly contrary effect. We have been called Atheistical and Popish, and I doubt not if there was any other word which they thought would be more likely to alarm the se rious mind, it would be used. But what are the measures of Government, and wherein does their un belief consist ? Many of you, I have no doubt, when you were told that the measures proposed by Government had an infidel and Popish tendency, would naturally think that Minis ters proposed to make some alteration in the standards of our Church or in the doctrine which it teaches. No such thing. It was not on the doctrines or discipline of the Church they intended to make alterations, but they were determined to re gulate and control the revenues of the Clergy. Their infi delity consisted not in any disbelief of the doctrines of the Bible, but in this;—they did not believe that a Clergyman would teach religion better by being overpaid for doing little, while another is underpaid for working hard. They do not believe that Christian harmony is promoted by insisting on a litigious Church -rate, rather than a, pay mentfrom the hands of Government. These are some of the articles in the Tory creed, and for denying the truth of which, BE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1837. and for seeking them to reform those abuses, we are branded with the name of Infidels and Papists. Our opponents spare no pains to make you believe that the measures of the Libe ral Government intended to spread education, religion, and peace through every part of Ireland, would only produce ir religion, disaffection, and bloodshed. Believe them not— examine the subject for yourselves--acknowledge the difficulty —mark how they have been met, and to a certain extent over come—rally round your leader—put you trust in the justice of your cause, and look up to that bar which will ever direct the course of those who stretch forth the arm of simplicity to the weak and the oppressed, and fear not that we should add to the, glory of having conferred freedom on the slave, the honour of having secured equal rights to every native-born subject of the British empire. These sentiments were cordially applauded by the company, but no speech delivered in the course of the evening produced such a powerful effect as that deli vered by the Rev. Mr. WILSON of Irvine. He placed Conservatism in a new light, and attacked it on the ground of being the upholder of that system which it pretended most strongly to repudiate namely, Popery. He electrified the Meeting by first de claring, and subsequently proving, by arguments the most incontestable " that at this very day there is issuing from Oxford alone more that is hostile to Protestantism than comes directly from Rome." We cannot now enter into an analysis of the Rev. Gen tleman's masterly speech, but we do trust that the fol lowing brief extracts from it will meet with an attentive perusal. They will be found to embody the substance of one of the best speeches yet delivered on the sub ject of the Irish National Education System : These Conservatives do not fear Popery as a system of religion. They fear it only when it presents itself in the form of a political system adverse to their own ascendancy in tke State. Protestantism they regard, not as a system of religion, but as a political test and watchword ; so that if men will only unite with them in maintaining the domination of the few over the millions of the British Empire, they care not how near others approach in doctrine to the mystery of iniquity. I ask, Sir, if the prevalence of this political Protest antism does not indicate the advance of Popery as a spiritual system? In my opinion it is the duty of all true Presbyte rians to take a position of moral and political defiance against a system which is not more inimical to religious than it is to political liberty. It is gravely maintained that her Majesty's Ministers have laid down measures which are intended and calculated to hasten the progress of Popery. When we ask them for the proof of this charge they tell us with great earnestness that Lord Melbourne has thrown them into great consternation by declaring that the measure which he has brought forward will deal a heavy blow and prove a great discouragement to Protestantism. Here, Sir, the evidence is decisive. It is decisive of Lord Melbourne's intention. It makes it sufficiently clear that his blow is intended to fall on that political Protestantism which I have described, and on those Conservatives in politics who have no aversion to the sentiments of Popery, and who regard Protes tantism only as the political test of those who would support their domination in the State. The Conservatives, who are thrown into such consternation under the apprehension of this blow—who founded Maynooth College—and who counte nance the religious system of the Catholics in England, because in politics they are of their own party—these men tell us most earnestly, that, as Protestants, we should op pose the present Ministers, because selsetions from the Scriptures are read, instead of the entire Bible, in the national schools of Ireland.—( Cheers aed laughter.) The plan of these schools proceela on the general principle that it is not the pros iiice of human legislation to enforce the adoption of a human creed. The rectitude of this principle is undeniable. No other course is compatible with the renun ciation of the right to employ force in religion—and this re nunciation the spirit of Christianity demands.—(Tremendous cheers.) The plan is not merely the only plan practicable on sound principles, but it is the only plan that has ever been devised by a British Government with the direct view of ex tending the blessings of education to all classes of the com munity in Ireland. Many historical parts of the Old and New Testaments are put into the bands of children, to. gether with the whole Gospel of the Evangelist Luke. Surely this training cannot lead to Popery. The na tional schools tend to clear the way for private exertion by the removal of much ignorance—and for these facilities they are indebted to those l`blinisters of State %%horn po litical Protestants would displace, on the plea that their mea sures are favourable to Popery.—(Cheering.) The plan of these schools proceeds on a right principle. The system is not secular, but moral and religious in its bearings—and Scotchmen at least cannot view as unjustifiable the appropria tion of ecclesiastical funds, in promotion of such an end. The bitter cries and the piteous wailing - s that we have heard upon this point, are not - likely to meet with sympathy from sound and right-minded Presbyterians. As a Protestant, as a Pres byterian Minister, as a religious man, I have no hesitation in avowing my solemn conviction, that for the security of the best interests of Protestantism as a religious system, we should countenance her Majesty's present Ministers, and do all in our power to prolong their enlightened administration _ (Loud and long-continued cheering.) The whole of the French Journals of Thursday have been received. They bring the details of the capture of Constantine, the whole of which will be found in another part of The Sun. The following extracts in clude all else in their columns worthy of notice. No news of the slightest interest from Spain : The Messager publishes this morning two pieces of intel ligence in a form nearly official, and which appears to us to merit some attention. We find in it— " When the cannon announced yesterday the taking of Con stantine, the members of the diplomatic body hastened to leave their names at the residence of the President of the Council. The first who entered his name there was Lord Granville who was followed by the Envoy of Denmark, but it is remarked that the Russian Ambassador did not call. The Ottoman Ambassador followed his example." And a little further on, a letter from St. Petersbugh of the 10th October says, that a rather warm altercation had taken place between the Vice-Chancellor, Count Nesselrode, and Baron de Barante, on occasion of the affairs of Tunis. The relations between Russia. and France are daily be coming less and less friendly. The closing of the Darda nelles against French ships-of-war continues to be im periously demanded by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and the Porte appears but too much inclined to yield to it. Letters from Copenhagen, of the 16th, say that M. Wal licha, a Danish merchant, has just been appointed Danish Consul-General to Algiers, and that he is on his way to Paris to get his exequatur from the French Consul-General. The Temps, quoting from the Messager the paragraph relative to the visits of the diplomatic body to Count Mole, says— " We do not know whether the congratulatory 'visits were made in this order, but what we do know is that since 1830, there has not been any communications of this kind with Russia. If no family or other news is communicated to it, it has no answer to make. Why then should we be surprised at its silence or its absence ?" FRENCH FUNDS.-Psais, OCT '26.

VALPARAISO, JULY 8, 1837.—(Extract from a private letter.)—The expedition has not sailed to Peru yet, and an attempt at doing it away was made, by the Chief of the military forces having revolted. It was quelled, however, a battle having taken place between them and the troops of the town ; and he, with some seven more, have been shot in this town. He himself previously shot the Minister of War and Marine, who was then with him, and was the chief, and indeed, principal mover of the war. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY.— The demand has been moderate throughont the week, and the market steady, without change in prices. Notwith standing the dull state of trade in the manufacturing dis tricts, our stock being now . under that of last year, and no large supply expected until the new crop makes its ap pearance, the holders are firm in their demands. Specu lators have taken 500 bales of American, and exporters 250 American and 950 Surat. The sales to-day are about 3,300 bags of all kind's. Amongst the most successful shots at the shooting party at the Earl of Leicester's, Holkbam, during the last month, was the young Lord Coke, the venerable nobleman's eldest son, now in his fifteenth year. The Earl and Coun tess have three other sons and one daughter, Lady Mar garet Sophia Coke. The spacious edifice in the Stable-yard, opposite the Duke of Sutherland's mansion, and so many years the abode of the late Earl of Harrington, will be razed to the ground in a few weeks. The commissioners have sold the materials, and the workmen will soon commence opera tions. It is intended to construct on its site an additional wing for the accommodation of the Princess Augusta and her household. ---- - Love letters once caused a lady to exclaim, " When the Devil's very desirous of ruining a man or a womon, he a'ways pokes a pan in their paw !" CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice BOSANQUET and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) MURDER.—George Smith, a soldier, aged 24, was indicted upon the Coroner's Inquisition, for the wilful murder of James Chaplain on the 11th of the present month. The prisoner was also charged upon the finding of the Grand Jury, with man slaughter. Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. BODKIN appeared for the prisoner. Mr. CHAMBERS, after going at some length into the law with respect to murder and manslaughter, shortly detailed the facts of the case to the jury and called the following witnesses:— Robert Burroughs examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Was a private in the Coldstream Guards. The prisoner belonged to the same regiment and company. On the 11th of October he received his discharge. Went with his brother and a man of the name of Bruhdall to the Three Horse Shoes, Hamp stead, on the evening of that day. There were two other soldiers in the public-house, together with the • deceased, James Chaplain. In the course of the evening the prisoner went and fetched in half a gallon of beer while the reckoning was going on. There was a dispute about who should pay the reckoning, the prisoner saying he should not pay anything. A fight took place between the witness and the prisoner, and Chaplain jumped over the table and struck the prisoner. A severe quarrel took place, but afterwards they were all com fortable together. The prisoner and his brother left in about a quarter of an hour; Chaplain remained there a quarter of an hour after that. Witness considered George Smith very much advanced in liquor; Chaplin was not so bad. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Witness had been in the company of Chaplain only three or four times. Had heard that he was a fighting-man. Smith had given Chaplain no provocation, and did not even return the blows he gave him. Witness was not the worse for liquor. When Chaplain struck the prisoner, he staggered back against the fire - place. Did not see anything the matter with Chaplain, but could not say whether he was sober enough to go about his business. Wm. Stringer, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS.—Was at the Three Horse Shoes on the 11th inst. The prisoner and Chaplain were there. There were also some other soldiers at the Three Horse Shoes, who were the worse for liquor; Chaplin was sober. All was quiet till the prisoner at the bar called Borroughs a lobster, when a fight commenced, during which Chaplain struck the prisoner. The prisoner and his brother, fearing that a farther disturbance would take place, left the house. The landlord detained Chaplain till he thought Smith had got home. Directly he was released, Chaplain jumped over the table, declaring that if he caught him, he would serve the out. The prisoner had no side-arms, but his brother had. Cross-examined by Mr. BODKlN.—Chaplain was perfectly sober, and the prisoner Smith was most drunk of them all. In consequence of Chaplain attacking the prisoner in the way he did, the landlord dragged him out of the room. The pri soner and his brother said they would go home, to get out of the noise ; and immediately left the house. Chap lain attempted to go after them directly. Chaplain lived at Minerva-place, Hampstead, which was higher in the town than the public-house. Church-lane leads to the barracks. At the corner of Church-lane there is a public-house called the King William. If Chaplain had gone the direct road home, ho had no business in Church-lane or the neighbourhood. George Ware, the landlord of the Three Horse Shoes, saw Chaplain strike some one in his tap-room, in consequence of which he took him away, but allowed him to return on his promising to make no further disturbance. Stephen Walker corroborated the evidence of the other wit ness as to the disturbance at the Three Horse Shoes. When he left the public house he went straight to his house, No. 2, Church-lane. He had been at home about a quarter of an hour, when he heard a disturbance in the lane. He looked out, and saw the prisoner and his brother ; shortly afterwards he heard another noise; went again to the door, when he heard a bayonet fall on the ground, When he went out lie heard a perso❑ calling out " Police, police.—a man's stabbed ;" before he heard this, .a man cried out, " Why don't you come back and pay your reckoning ? Did not know whether it was Chaplain's voice. After he had heard the cry of " police" he discovered Chaplain lying in Church-lane, within a yard of the bar. Witness went to him, and found he was wounded. Chaplain's hat was lying about 20 or 30 yards from where he was. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS. —STBHII was drunk, but Chaplain was sober. J -hn Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Resided at No. 6, Church-lane, Hampstead. Was at home between nine and ten o'clock on the evening of the 11 th of the present month. Upon hearing a disturbance in the lane he went out. He heard voices towards the fields, and blows like a man's fist. He heard some one say " Take that," and in about half a minute he heard, he believed, the same voice say " He's stabbed me."' Directly afterwards a person ran towards him, who turned out to be Chaplain. On coming up to witness he cried out "I am stabbed, lam stabbed." Witness saw by the light of the moon persons running in a contrary direction. Chaplain then turned round the bar and fell. Witness then called the police, and assisted them in going after the persons who had run away. On taking the prisoner into custody the policeman took a bayonet from him. The prisoner was very tipsy. Joseph Bowers, who also resided in Church-lane, corrobo rated the evidence of the last witness. He went in search of the prisoner, whom he soon overtook accompanied with his brother. On witness attempting to take him the prisoner flourished a bayonet over his head, and swore that he would not be taken by anybody, as he had done nothing. Witness then called for assistance, and the prisoner and his brother made off; witness followed them, and upon his getting up to them again the prisoner attacked him with the bayonet and ran off. Witness was joined by a person named Manning, and he again went in pursuit ; upon overtaking them he tripped up Smith, who fell, and was taken into custody, together with his brother. There was a hole in witness's coat, which had been made with the bayonet, and there was also blood on it, which he believed came from the prisoner, who was wounded in the hand. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—Had been in the Po lice, but bad been discharged about two years ago, for going into a public house while on duty. Had been for two years out of employ, and got his living by doing any jobs he could. A gentleman whom witness knew had drawn up a paper which certified that he had given his evidence in a praiseworthy manner before the Coroner. This paper was in the witness's possession before he gave his evidence. The gentleman thought such a paper might be of use to the witness, and en able him to get back again into the Police. Witness, at the suggestion of some gentleman at Hampstead, endeavoured to raise a subscription to reward his bravery, but succeeded very indifferently. Charles Hayes, a groom to Mr. Longman at Hampstead, stated that he saw the deceased at the Mews on the evening of the 11th instant; he came to inquire after a man that worked with him. Witness told him that he was not there, and advised her to go to his house, near Golden-square. Chaplain left, and shortly afterwards witness heard a noise and a scuffle but could not distinguish what was said. Shortly afterwards heard Chaplain cry out that he was stabbed. The road that Chaplain took, was not the right one to Golden square. Witness assisted in taking Chaplain to Mr. Lord's, the surgeon. Ann Hicks, a person residing in Church-lane, heard a noise there on the evening of the 11th of October. Saw Chaplain there, and two other persons. Heard Chaplain say he would fight, and afterwards cry out he was stabbed. William Simmons, a policeman, who was on duty at Hamp stead on the night of the 11th of the present month, took the prisoner, who was very drunk, into custody. The prisoner was lying down at the time he took him. Witness also took the prisoner's brother Richard into custody. William Sims, another policeman, assisted the last witness in taking the prisoner. As they were going along, the pri soner cried, and said, " Poor fellow, I am sorry that it has happened." William Aggs, the inspector of the S division of police, was on duty when the prisoner and his brother were brought to the station-house. The prisoner's brother had side-arms, but the prisoner had none. Both were very drunk. Witness asked the prisoner what had become of his side-arms, to which he replied that he had been discharged that morning. On Bower producing the bayonet witness observed that there was blood upon it. The appearance of blood might have been caused by drawing it through the hands of a person, if it cut them. There was blood on the face of the prisoner. Wit ness afterwards went to Mr. Lord's surgery, where he saw Chaplain lying on the door. Witness assisted in taking him to the North London Hospital. Took the prisoner and his brother there, and when confronted with Chaplain, the latter said, pointing to George Smith—That's the man. Smith was near enough to hear what was said by Chaplain. The prisoner did not say a word to this. Chaplain was quite sensible, but in a state of great exhaustion. When Chaplain repeated That's the man, witness said, Well, what of it ? to which Chaplain replied, That's the man who stabbed me. Witness said the Magistrate would be there shortly to take his depositions, and added, you will recollect the man, Chap lain said Yes—that's the man who stabbed me. The prisoner and his brother were then taken to Clerkenwell. In conse quence of the deceased saying that he thought he should get better, his deposition was not taken. Hamilton, the porter of the North London Hospital, deposed to having seen Chaplain the morning after he was admitted into the Hospital. Chaplain died on the Thursday following, at eleven o'clock at night. Mr. Taylor, one of the Surgeons of the North Loudon Hospital, saw Chaplain shortly after he was brought in. He had a wound on the right side of the belly, which appeared to have been made with a bayonet. The cause of his death was the wound in the belly. The bayonet entered on the right side, and protruded on the left below the pelvis. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Anooexus addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner. Considerable prejudice existed in the public mind against the practice of soldiers wearing side-arms when not on duty, and, had it not been for that prejudice, lie was confident no Coroner's Jury would ever have returned a verdict of Murder against the prisoner at the bar. He hoped the gen tlemen of the Jury would throw aside all prejudices, and de cide the case before them upon the facts adduced in evidence. Upon that evidence he felt convinced the Jury would feel themselves justified in acquitting the prisoner not only of the capital charge of murder, but of the min or one o f manslaus.,,hter. The Learned Counsel called witnesses who proved that the deceased had given great provocation to the prisoner, and also corroborated the facts admitted by the witnesses upon their cross•examination, relative to what took place in the Three Horse Shoes public-house before the prisoner left it. Several witnesses also gave the prisoner an excellent character for humanity. [lf the Verdict be returned in time, it will be published in a Second Edition.] NEW COURT. Mary Cooper, mother, and Mary Ann Cooper, the daugh- +7 0, ter, were indicted for stealing 17 shirts 7., , nd a Anna other wearing apparel, the property of a lady named Bainbridge, residing at Lambeth. The elder prisoner had been nurse to Mrs. Bainbridge for a upon . twelvemonth. Last week the younger priso ner called her mother, and on going away a poli cema n seeing her e car, by rying a bundle asked her what it was, and how she cam . a , the various articles which it contained. She said they„hh: been given to her by her mother at Mrs. Bainbridge'S• went back with him, when Miss Bainbridge said she had give n !, all the articles in the bundle except two. Thep wouldolice then said, as that was nearly all right, they „ have no objection to show him what was at home , a' they acknowledged that there were many more things there. They at once agreed, and gave up the key .. of two boxes, in which he found a vast qu antit y of raisce laneous articles of wearing apparel. The prisoners then alleged that the things were given to the elder one byre,Mr!: and Miss Bainbridge at different times. Mrs. Bainbrid '," appeared, was liable to attacks of lunacy, under one of whica she now laboured. In cross-examination, Miss Bainbridge acknowledged .to have given the 17 shirts, and almost aIL the other articles. She spoke to a handkerchief particularly, ale the policeman stated, the prisoners both said , w hen the bun was looked at, and the handkerchief found, they did not know how it came there. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the pr isoners i 9 very forcible and feeling manner. He was sure of the vedict. of the Jury, but he was most anxious to save t he character _oet the two prisoners, who ought never to have been put atd the bar. After commenting upon the evidence, he calle landlord of the prisoners who had known them for two years; they were most highly recommended to him, and he was Pe r " fectly satisfied with their conduct since they lived near hill. The husband and father was a highly resp e ctable man, who had an allowance of 501. out of a litigated estate in Chancery. He respected the whole family, and they were generally re spected in the neighbourhood. He had seen Dr. Dodd , was unable to attend to-day, and he thought so highly 0 ' them, that he would still continue to recommend them to kia friends. Mr. CLARKSON said he bad a long list of names of resP ec b t f l able people who were present, but he would not take up time of the Court and jury further. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up in favour el the evidence , jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty an d the, both prisoners. One of the jury said he was very sorry to see the prisonersd at the bar. He respected them so much, that if he had 11" of any of them, it would give hint pleasure to emploY thcn3. -- LLOYD'S SHIPPIN,G-(THIS DEAL, OCT. 27, A. M. —Wind S.
