These were his words:— " We will show that previous to the expedition the pri soner was one of those most actively engaged in getting it up. That the day before he went to Buffalo to ascertain whether the Caroline was coming down to Schlosser. That he took a deep and active interest in the affair, and that on that very evening he was engaged enlisting persons for the expedition: That on several occasions he exhibited a sword, and pointing to blocid upon it, said that was the blood of a d—d Yankee.. Other witnesses will prove that they, saw him go with the boats on the expedition, and others that they saw him on his return from it. Such is the nature of the testimony showing you what part the prisoner took 'in the expedition to destroy the Caroline, in which Amos Durfee met his death." LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1811.

PUBLICATIONS SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. To check this, not one step appears to have been taken by the anthorities of the United States. Oh 'yes ; let us do justice to the single officer who did interfere. " The Government sent its proper officer (the collector) to in quire what business the boat was engaged in." . • • " The collector did not refuse to let me go out. HE SAID I MIGHT DO WHAT I DID WITHOUT VIOLATING ANY LAW. I MIGHT RUN TO NAVY ISLAND AND CARRY ARMS AND AMMUNITION, DUT THAT I RAN RISK WHILE I WAS IN BRITISH WATER. And, finally, in reply to a question from the Attorney-General, Mr. Wells says, " I knew what would be wanted on Navy Island, and that was why I consulted the collector." We confine ourselves to the testi timony of thiswitness, and brief as are our extracts from it, we do nottbink any dispassionate person can for an in stant doubt its 'conclusiveness to the two important points of the piratical character of the vessel, and the bellige rent character of the territory in the waters of which she was destroyed. It is not, however, for the destruc tion of the Caroline that 11•Leod is indicted, but for the murder of a vagabond named Durfee, who had been waiting in the steamer to cross over to his comrades- at Navy Island. • Of course, the homicide of Durfee was justifiable or not, just as the destruction of the Caroline will be decided to have been justifiable or not. But, in the first place, there is no evidence as yet to connect APLeod with the attack upon the Caroline. As this portion of the case, however, is yet open, we shall offer i no observation upon it. It is clear, however, :whether M‘Leod was of the attacking party or not, Durfee was shot, not by one of them, but by one of 'his own comrades. It will be seen from the evidence of every witness examined, that all the firing bi/ the attacking party took place before • the Caroline was cut out. Three or four witnesses swore that "one shot was fired from the American shore when the boat was going down the stream burning." Now, a witness named Enitrions poses that he saw Durfee alive " after "n that shot was: fireit—that is, after the attack had wholly ceased, and the attacking party had left for the Canada shore. It is quße clear, then, that justice was, unintentionally per- Assurances may also be effected by a single payment, by a payment for a number of years certain, or by any other moths as may meet the views of the Assured : and the Premiums may be paid either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, at pro portionate Rates.

No Charge will be made on parties assuring, under the head of entrance-money, admission• fee, or otherwise, beyond the Stamps for the Policy.

Weaker presumptive evidence it may have been at tempted to impose on intelligent juries in other trials for capital felony; but surely no verdict of " guilty" was ever returned, by any number of dispassionate and indif rent men, oh such a case, to foand such a charge! GLOBE.—A more careful examination of the cri• dente adduced by the prosecutor on the trial of 11I‘Leod, has resulted in a conviction that . even that evidence, though brought forward to make out the charge in the indictment, is alone sufficient to justify ihe acquittal and discharge of the party accused. We do not here refer to the manifest weakness of the evi dence given in proof of his identity, which amounted only to " impression," belief," and " consider it impossi ble I can be mistaken," all which forms of speech imply a suspicion in the mind of the witne.s' using theta that•he is by no means satisfied of the correctness of his opinion ;—we do not dwell on 'the impossibility of particularly observing the form and features of an individual engaged with many others in such an attack, and in the midst of the confusion, terror, cad alarm which it produced—made, as it was, in the midst of a winter night, and under cover of darkness— nor do we rest our •opinion that the indictment against M'Leod must fail.on the by no tneans - Unimportant fact, that , the . man Durlee, for whose alleged murder he is called upon to answer, was seen alive upon the shore &tier the Caroline was set adrift and 'was actually burning—as is proved by the witnesses Emmons and Field, although the weakness of the proof of identity, and the fact—as admitted by the witnesses las& _ark . l_4l=tjigi rii iiitt .. .,L42 l ,pvty who attqcked and London : Longman, Brown, and Co.

This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company only. And this will be found one of the most valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very trig from Three Months to any other agreed period, in amounts of 50/. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with thi s Association, according to their value at the time of the Loan. The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time render the institution signally beneficial to the great mass of the community. Having thus premised the General objects of the Associa tion, it is necessary briefly to state, THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY. A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re• sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counsel. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 251. each. '.l he Deposit is 21.101. per Sh are; w hi c h , i t i s expected, will be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the Bank of the Association. The Accounts shall be audited yearly. The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office five years; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining Directors. A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convoned by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress of the business of the Company, and an account of such other matters as the Directors may deem it proper to submit to them. The Qualification of voting by Proprietors at every Special and General Meeting shall be according to the following scale, viz. : The Holder of 15 Shares shall be entitled to One Vote. 5 Too Votes. 2 Three Votes. •.. 100 Four Votes. And an additi ona l V o t e f or ever y su bsequent Fifty Shares. Rut no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Shares unless such Shares shall have been at least Six Months in his or her name, previous to such Special or General Meeting. Assurances may be eff e ct e d for 50/. and upwards, not onl y on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingd om, but also on th e lives of parties resident anywhere within and even beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations at Rates pro;:ortionat e to the nature of the risk.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that th , book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy-us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.--Age. The multitude of books daily corning from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saving that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly eonvineing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will he most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the corn plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communi ca ti on must b e ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/. without whi c h , n o notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the most inviolable secresy may 'se relied osi.

We happened to be conversing with a person in Manchester the other day who has some knowledge of said apy ser as tonishment, nis the state of the poor , and allusion was made t o th e difference of a p e nny in the price o f some commodity.

TIMES.—If any person imagine that we could ever be indifferent to such a calamitous occurrence as a war between England and America, or that we could ever indulge in such indiscreet provocations as by any pos sibility might chafe the Federal Government into a pas sionate and unreasonable temper, we can only say that our recent strictures on the relative position of the two countries have been strangely misunderstood, and that the allegation that the Transatlantic Ministers are capable, under any circumstances, of being twitted into open hostilities by the free and fearless opinions of a British journal, implies certainly a much severer reflec tion upon them than anything we have ventured to pen. The fact is, we have never spoken disrespectfully of the Central American Administration in any shape or form ; and fur the very obvious reason, that, as far as Mr. M'Lcod's case is . concerned, upon which alone we can be supposed to have, piqued them, their declared sentiments are in perfect unison with our own. Of Mr. Welfster's letter to Mr. Crittenden, demonstrating the utter impossibility of reconciling. M'Leod's detention and trial with the principles of inter national law, we have repeatedly expressed ourselves in the most favourable terms. Equally complimentary were our remarks upon a speech to the same purpose, delivered in Congress by Mr. John Quincy Attains. Neither did we omit to praise the highly constitutional doctrine contained in President Tyler's proclaination re lative to the recent conspiracies on the northern frontier. On all the principal features of M'Leod's case, even as regards the vital disability of the Republican Union in not having invested itself with supreme power over its subordinate States, the Federal authorities and our selves are completely agreed ; nor have we uttered any reproaches against the refractory province of New York, which the Washington Cabinet have not im plicitly sanctioned, if not in equally plain words (a I,reedoni that could hardly ha,. expected), at 'least by milder ,iiittniations too intelligilain,tralz be anyeauder'-. : stood. But while we have uniformly made a just is tinction between the conduct of the Central Administra tion and that of the New York incendiaries, our animad versions upon the latter, abundantly sustained by reason, have beyond doubt been given with a severity, not one particle of which do we see it necessary to retract. The persons who happen to have the dignity of that State in their indifferent keeping have done everything that in sanity itself could suggest to plunge their country into war. Never have we swerved from the opinion, that let them do what they will to appease their irrational ven geance against M'Leod, the life and liberty of our in jured countrymen are perfectly safe in the hands of the upright Federal Government, with whom alone Great Britain is concerned for the maintenance of her national honour. The circumstance that Mr. Fox has so long consented to remain at Washington without demanding his passports is to us sufficient evidence that, happen what may between the Cen tral Administration and the State of New York, the eventual liberation of M'Leod is absolutely secured. If any war shall arise from that, person's treatment, it will be a war, in the first instance, not between America and England, but between the Washington Cabinet and the insubordinate authorities of New York. The Pre sident of the United States and his responsible col leagues in the General Government have assured this country that no consideration on earth can induce them to sanction the sacrifice of Mr. M`Leod., As far as con cerns the•T:cstion of peace or war between the two coun tries, this solemn declaration on the part of the Ameri can Government is quite enough for us. What the fussy dignities of New York have thought fit to do, in the way of performing a judicial burlesque at Utica, we care not a pin's foe. All the array of evidence they can muster against theprisoner—all the mock solemnity with which they can invest their proceedings, either by the rejection of jurors who scruple about capital punishments, or by prolonging the trial with innumerable examina nations and dignified adjournments for dinner—all the stern abjurations of the dreadful Attorney-General—and all the elaborate impartiality of their presiding Judge— may be very satisfactory to their own vanity or vindic tiveness, but cannot be viewed at Washington and London with any other feelings than these of supreme contempt. . Even the inhabitants of Utica seem to be well aware of the farcical nature of the prosecution, for, instead of that intense excitement which it was expected to awaken in the town, few people have had the curiosity to attend the trial ; and instead of there being any necessity to protect M'Leod from the mob, he is daily proccssioned, at one o'clock, from the Court to his mutton-broth amidst the huzzas of half-a-dozen urchins, 10 or 12 years old. These insicvnificant meddlers may do what they like with M'Leod, as far as evidence or sentence is concerned. With the perfect agreement sub sisting between the British and American Cabinets as to the absolute necessity of preserving him harmless, it is all one to Britain whether they find him guilty or inno cent. On these grounds we had read their proceedings during the first three days of our countryman's pretended trial without a particle of interest. Unless Mr. Fox have grievously betrayed his trust, the American Go vernment is pledged, at all hazards, to secure M'Leod's deliverance, and, therefore, off he must come in perfect triumph, with the good leave of the New Yorkers or without it. But, in point of fact, ,judging from the tes timony they have yet adduceiL which is probably the strongest they are able to suborn, there is no direct evi dence vvhhtever to inculpate M'Leod at all. Only one of their numerous witnesses has pretended to identify his person ; and could we bring ourselves to analyse the compound of hesitation and faltering assurance involved in that deponent's hard swearing, we might without diffi culty conclusively show that his professed confidence is unworthy of a moment's credit. But we do not choose to take this trouble with the New Yorkers. We make them perfoctiy welcome to any conviction, or to any ver dict they may happen to take a fancy for. In truth, we have marvellously little respect for the New Yorkers. Nay, if we have any wish whatever in regard to their contemptible presumption, it is really the termagant one that they may find M'Leod guilty. Our confidence rests with unwavering firmness upon the prudence, justice, and integrity of their betters—the Sovereign Government of America—for which we entertain, as becomes us, the most unfeigned respect. CHRONICLE.—The proceedings upon the trial of M'Leod, down to the middle of the third day, will be found fully detailed in another part of our paper, from the second and third editions of 'yesterday's Chronicle. The only point fully established by the mass of evidence published by the New York papers is, that the steamer Caroline was undeniably a pirate boat, and that the ter ritory in the waters of which she was destroyed had no more title to be regarded as " neutral," than had Navy Island itself. As to the inculpation of M'Leod, not a particle of direct evidence has as yet been elicited to connect him with the justifiable expedition of the 29th of December. The first witness examined was the owner of the steamer, a Mr. Wells, who, from his own ac count, most richly deserved to have been drifted down the Falls with his own " speculation." The charac ter of this fellow, and of the service in which he . was engaged, have been the subject of correspondence, we believe, between the two Governments—that of the United Stites insisting that he was " a fair trader," en gaged in his regular and lawful traffic. Let us hear his own story, which we shall endeavour to disentangle from his prevarications, and put in a consecutive form. It will be borne in mind that the Caroline was burned on the 29th of December. " Upon the 26th of Decem ber," says Mr. Wells, " I was on Navy Island for three or four hours. There were then about 250 men there. I saw ten or eleven pieces of cannon. The cannon were on wheels, some pointed towards the 'British side. Van Ransellaer was there in command. I went from Schlos ser in a sail-boat. I do not pretend to say that I made . a regular charge for passengers that day, but I received eight or ten dollars fir passengers. I do not think I received anything for the freight of the cannon. I heard a good deal of firing there. I saw Van Ransellacr, Mr. Chassin, and Mr. Flagg on the island. I had conversed with them before about coming down. I do not recollect what was said about my compensa tion. I believe they said I could make money out of it. There was a " Committee of Thirteen" in Buffalo. It was an Executive Committee to aid the Navy islanders. Mr. Phelps acted as Commissary, I believe. Phelps was the one I conversed with about going down with the boat . . . There was a meeting at 'the theatre in Buffalo, which I attended. The declared object of the meeting was to assist the Navy islanders." Thus far we have it—that on the 26th this Mr. Wells, who had already attended the APlienzie meeting at the Buffalo Theatre, went to Navy Island in a sail-boat with a freight of cannon for the insurgents ; that he there entered into negotiations with the chiefs of the rebels, being well aware of the nature of the service in which for " compensation" he was engaging. On the evening of the 26th his bargain having been con cluded, the pirate returns to Buffalo to get the steamer ready to fulfil his new engagements. The navigation had already closed some time, and it was not for any regular business of a trader the boat would at that season have been cut out of the ice. She is cut out on the 27th or 28th ; her proprietor "u n derstanding that a bond Tr indemnity was to be g i ven." In fact the boni was partly signed, five out of twenty who were to be parties to it having signed." " Indenznity , , for what, Mr. Wells ? Is is usual to get bonds of i ndemnity from political societies to cover fair commercial speculations ? And yet this brigand had the coolness to " make application to the Government of the United States for payment for his boat," and he " does not un derstand that she will not be paid for if sh e was engaged in the Navy Island affair, but the con trary." On the 28th, two days after th e b arga i n on Navy Island, the steamer is brought down to Schlosser and took in her cargo. " Among the freight from Schlosser was a six-pounder cannon on two w h ee l s. All that were there helped to get it on board. I took a horse from Schlosser. There were provisions. There were some muskets. I do not know how m any. There ;night have been a hundred." But it is needless to dwell fur ther upon this evidence. It establi s h es b eyond all pos sibility of cavil or quibble the character of the boat, and the guilty knowledge of the owner and cre w . No pr i nc i ple is more clearly established in international law than that the rightlof neutral is forfeited if the duty of neutral be violated. . Now,. the weight of this whole mass of evi dence goes distinctly to prove . that the whole of that part of the American frontier in which these occurrences took place was in a state of actual hostility with. Great Britain.. Expeditions were fitted out. Men. arms, ammunition, provisions were collected u p o n .and, transported from this territory for the use Of the ^rebels. 1 not by any the British party. The excitement created by the trial does not appear to have been at all equal to the anticipation of what it would be. The reporter of the greatest alarmist of the press, the New York Herald, writing from the court-house, says :—":Persons at a dis tance, who are wrought up to a feverish excitement on this subject, will be astonished at the apathy felt here ; but so it is." POST.—The commencement of the trial of M'Leod is now before our readers. It would be idle to offer any opinion upon the effect of the evidence, that portion of it which was to sustain the prosecution not having been completed when the latest report of the proceedings was despatched. It may have been reinforced subsequently; and when we say that it required much reinforcement before the prisoner could be in any danger before an im partial jury, we say all that the occasion warrants or re quires. The speech of the advocate for the prosecution is certainly not discreditable either to the talent or the temper of the American bar, supposing, what we are bound to suppose, that the Learned Gentleman had reason to believe his statement of the case as to matters of fact would be substantiated by witnesses entitled to credit. The only point upon which, in the present state of our information, we feel warranted in expressing an opinion diametrically opposed to his, is one which relates not to anything done, or alleged to have been done, by the prisoner at the bar, but to the actual state of affairs in that portion of the United States territory adjacent to Canada, and to the law of nations in its ap plication to the real circumstances. Mr. Hall says:— " Mr. Wells saw in the circumstance of the excite ment and curiosity, which were drawing thousands to Schlosser, of whom not one in a tho usan d went to t h e island—he saw an opportunity of making gains by his little boat, which was hardly larger than a ferry boat, and which was lying idle at Buffalo. With this, and no other motive than that of profit, he started from Buffalo on the 28th of December 1837, to Schlosser. He stop ped at all the intermediate points cr landing places where boats had heretofore stopped. After reaching Schlosser, about two o'clock in the day, he went from there to Navy Island ; he made two trips in the course of the afternoon, carrying passengers and such articles as were brought to him to be conveyed, and such as were conveyed by other ferry boats. Amongst these articles it will appear there was a cannon. Much stress has been laid upon this circumstance ; and I therefore pause one moment to comment upon it, so far that you may per ceive what force an act of this kind should have. it was one of those articles which, when nations are at war, neutrals are prohibited to convey, under pain of forfeiture if taken. If a neutral undertake to carry arms and mu nitions of war, the vessel and articles so conveyed are liable to forfeiture. But if a vessel carry such articles to the destined point and land them, she cannot after wards be held' liable. The moment the articles are landed she is no longer liable to be seized or molested. This law applies upon the high seas, the common high way of all nations. In this portion of the territory it would apply only in cases of seizure within the waters of Great Britain, and it would not extend to them the right of coming within our own waters." The whole merit of the case rests upon this part of the prosecutor's speech, and if this can be shown to be erroneous in fact and in law, as we think it can, we are entitled to conclude, not that the trial will terminate in the acquittal of M'Leod, but that it ought to do so. " When nations are at war," says the New York Attor ney-General. Ay, but in this case nations were not at war. There was no war—there was a rebellion; find the law of nations, assuming that he stated it correctly in its application to the rights of neutrals in a war between nations, is not, therefore, the law of nations in a case in which rebel subjects are contending against their lawful Sovereign. The sympathisers of the United States found within the Canada frontier, abetting in arms the rebel Canadians, m;ght lawfully, and in conformity with the general usage of civilised nations, be hanged, although the Swiss mercenaries to whom Mr. Hall elsewhere alludes, fighting under the banners of contending nations, are not exposed to so ignomi nious a fate. This is an important distinction which the New York Attorney-General entirely overlooks. But there is another and still more important distinc tion which cannot have been present to the mind of the New York Attorney-General when he uttered his dictum upon the law of nations as applicable to the case of Mr. M'Leod. The conflict within the Canadian frontier was a conflict of rebellious subjects against their lawful So vereign, and if the Government of the United States, as a Government, Was not, as we suppose Mr. Hall will not contend it was, cowardly and treacherous to the last de gree, in its relations with the Government of Great Britain, the aid afforded to the Canadian rebels by the sympathisers of the United States was aid afforded by subjects in defiance of their own lawful Government, and in rebellion against that Government. There was rebellion on both sides of the river—the one rebellion acting upon and stimulating and reinforcing the other. The cannon of which Mr. Hall speaks so lightly is not an insignificant circumstance. Where did the sympathisers obtain this cannon? Had they a foundry for cannon ? Are pieces of artillery articles of sale and purchase at the fairs on the United States' side of the St. Lawrence ? No ! The cannon had been taken from an arsenal of the United States, and taken in rebellious defiance of the Government of the United States. Nor was this the only outrage which attested the utter impotency of the Government of the United States to restrain the rebellious excesses of its own sub- jects. In reference to such a state - may be affirmed with confidence that the right of self-defence had superseded the ordinary law of nations, or rather, that the ordinary law of nations in relation to the rights of neutrals in a war between State and State was ut- Mr. M'Leod, which we subjoin to our report of trial, terly inapplicable to the circumstances. Thel t e h t e ter of will be read with interest at the present moment. lIERALD.—We are now enabled to lay before our readers the proceedings which have taken pl ace i n t h e preliminary stages oflWLeod's trial. It is in a remote town in a remote corner of the northernmost of the United States—the youngest nation in existence which can be said to have taken rank among the maritime powers of the world—that, in the person o f a pr i vate individual no less a delinquent is arraigned than the Imperial Majesty of Great Britain. It is in the nine teenth century—in the zenith of her power, in the per fection of her institutions, in the undisputed supre macy of her commercial capital, and her social pros perity—with no other interruption to the accumulated trophies of a quarter of a century of peace (glorious to herself and fortunate for mankind) but the laurels newly culled by her victorious forces in the noblest coun tries of the east—it is in the full vigour of her political existence, and in the plenitude of her grandeur among the paramount empires of the old world—that Great Britain has, by her Government, tacitly consented to permit her own acts, in the extinction of a rebellion among her subjects in one of her distant Transatlantic colonies; to be criminally challenged and adjudicated upon by a municipal rather than `a national tribunal of those United States. It remains to be seen whether or not she will permit those acts, after solemnly reclaiming them for her own, to be punished, too, in the person of that private subject, her accredited and recognised servant. To the operation of what potent but at present inexplicable causes, p os t er it y ma y one day attribute her submission to such indig nity and insult, it might be matter for curious specul a ti on to anticipate, did time or space per mit us to enter upon it. But at present . all that our duty as journalists exacts of us, in relation to this matter, is to record the astounding fact that the arbitress of nations in the old world—on a question in volving the rights of her independence in . repressing abettors of that revolt---has permitted re volt among her own colonists and pe p r t s in o i na sh s i p n eci g i foreign oir t e h sse e loffto bo of her outraged cited, and, in the unfranchised subject has actually appeared—before Oyer and e Terminer—to plead to an indictme pro vincial American Court—before Ju l however, to the task do not trust ourselves, at present, of discussing questions to of be dealt with is one of i s t ti o e f es m o u f rder l de gradation, when the case abstract political o ; f an illegal and indefensible death— under the assumption of Criminal Court—of a British. practical political reFults and of the life or jurisdiction by a foreign e s , act which even if committed by subject, . an the discharge of his duty to his Sovereign, and on the responsibilityhlinivascslomorgomednwntliteid . of his allegiance. .)ftlicnature of the evidence, to which we shall more particularly recur at another opportunity, we know not . that wo can give a brief epitome, so fa r as i t - h as been given, better calculated to convey to the resider our own STANDARD.—ShouId the United States Attor ney-General succeed establishing the allegations contained in his address (and we agree with the Morning Herald in dissenting from the estimate which has been formed of the tempei and animus of his speech by some of our Contemporaries), be has no case on which an honest and intelligent Jury ought to convict. The various counts comprised its the indict.. ment differ, not merely in the description of the weapon employed in effecting the imputed murder, but in the especial identity of the presumed criminal. One recites that be was shot with a gun ; another with a pistol, discharged by Alexander M'Leod ; " whil s t others affirm that the shot was fired by one John Mosier, and that M'Leod was aiding and abetting him." As eur Contemporary has shown, by an extract from " Blackstone," "a precise and suflicic;nt certainty as to the identity of the person • must be indicated by the indictment, which must set forth the Christian name, surname, and addi tion of the state, degree, registry, time or place, and tho country of the offender, and all this to identify his person ;" an authority which ought to have the more weight with the Utica Jury, seeing that the whole argument of the counsel for the prose cution professes to be based upon British law. With regard to the temper and animus of the speech of the American Attorney-General, we confess we look in vain for the passages on which such qualities hay been attributed to it. In the excited state of mind in which the American public bas been kept, and after the flood of falsehood and misrepresenta tion which has been poured upon it, in reference to this case, there was surely no necessity for the Attorney-General to call upon the Jury, if he did not " press the cause with the vigour essentia ho the development of truth to redouble their own vigil ance, lest truth should be crushed by error." No reluc tance to see matters in the most unfavourable light need hate been anticipated on such an occasion, nor was it likely to avert such a verdict as the Learned Counsel thus significantly prayed for. He tells his auditors in effect to mistrust their own judgment, in the event of any inference favourable to the prisoner, and impute to his (the Attorney General's) weakness or misapprehension any impression which his statement of the case may lead them to entertain of his inno cence. Surely there is little either of generosity or justice in such an appeal. If, however, the allega tions contained in the address alluded to be not much more effectually supported- than they were by the first three days' testimony for the prosecution, a legal conviction will be impossible. However this may be, it seems perfec ly understood on all sides that the life of Mr. M'Leod is in no sort of jeopardy. If found guilty, the reversal of . his sentence is certain, notwithstanding the exposition of the law entered into by his prosecutor. Whether he was or was not a party to the death of Durfee is of comparatively trivial im portance. We were assured, however, a few days ago by a gentleman who assisted at the cutting out and de struction of the Caroline, that M'Leod was neither present at, nor aware of, the exploit, until the morning after its achievement. We presume that there will be no difficulty in satisfactorily establishing this fact. COURIER.--The evidence adduced on M'Leod's trial, which apeeared iri eztenso in yesterday's Courier, establishes beyond the reach of cavil or doubt, the pirati cal character of the Caroline and of its owner and crew. Irrelevant and forceless as it is regarding the question really at issue, namely, M'Leod's alleged share in the valorous and perfectly justifiable enterprise, which re sulted in the destruction of the " Navy Island steamer," it is irresistibly conclusive as to the predatory nature of the service in which it had been engaged. Upon this point, we believe, a controversy was kept up for a considerable time between the two Governments, and much ingenious casuistry expended, the American Go vernment insisting upon the lawfulness of the service in which the steam-boat was employed, and for which she had been " cut out of the ice" a day or two before, while the British authorities all along maintained that the Caroline had been in the employment of the rebellious and maurading horde that had. invaded and taken possession of Navy Island, and, being se, richly deserved the fate she met with. This was the very first question raised between the two Governments —the American authorities ha vin g had the mo d est e ff rontery to demand compensation for the loss of the Caroline ! Well, we suppose after thp admissions that have been wrung from its owner,, on the subject of his steam-boat speculation, that the Federal Government wilt resort to no more offensive quibbling as to his having been engaged in regular and lawful traffic. As between the two nations the charac ter of the transaction has been irreversably established, the Caroline in being sent adrift down the Falls met only with its deserts ; the brave men who inflicted upon it so frightful a doom, baying evinced tie utmost forbearance in allowing it s feeebooting From,t the owner and cre w t o escape a s i m il ar d oom . fellow' s own ev id ence we have. i t that h e b a d been on i s the 26th of D ecem b er , j ust t h ree d a ys b efore the icandaro line was sen t a d r if t , w i t h t h e re b e l s a there e conveyed enter entered intoa provisionsmunitionscomapnadatoadism.
