Continued.—Mr. Gribble said he would give me something for my huiband's loss of time in supporting Sir Masseh, and a present for myself. I cannot recollect when this was. I had tint seen my husband for beveral weeks after the election commenced, I went again to Mr. Rennell's house. I know Sarah Harris who went with me ; we saw Nr. John Wilkinson ; we borrowed some money of Wilkinson ; he lent us a one-pound note a piece; that was in Rennell's house ; at any time he would lend me money ; he lent it to us direct ly ; I never saw Rennell there at all ; nobody was there besides Wilkinson ; I went to Mr. Gribble's on the Monday after; it was about five or six days between borrowing and going 'to Gribble's ; I went to Gribble's for the money for my husband's loss of time; Wilkinson calls us debtors for the pound notes ; I went alone to Mr. Gribble's Air. Wilkinson was there; 1 did not speak to Mr. Gribble, nor Gribble to me ; Wilkinson said my husband owed him something, and he would go and settle; I never saw any money : I did not see a five pound note in the house ; I did not hear any conversation between them ; I was examined before the House of Commons, but I cannot re• collect what I said.

Friday is market-day at Barustaple; and I went to Ren nell s on the Friday after the election ; I saw Wilkinson in the passage ; 1 went to borrow a j it note ; went tlicre rind k ii@ , lie le;,t to we, and I believe he lent another to Mary 'Fos sell. i went to Mr. Gribble's office on the Mon day following, being told that the poor men were to have 51, for loss of time ; Mr. Gribble and Mr. Wilkinson were there ; Mr. Gribble put Si. into 111 r. Wilkinson's hand, and 1 bad tour ; I told Mr. W. to pay himself one, and he gave meiour. Cross•examined.—As fAr as the It. went,lNas really lent and really paid ; I could make a friend of him at wily time. Edward, Harris.—l am husband of the last witness. The witness stated the same course of circumstances, but with some want , of recollec tion. His recollection, in fact, was so bad, that the Counsel for the prosecution expressed them selves as perfectly satisfied with leis want of me mory, as with his positive testimony. _ Richard Knill.-1 voted at the last election .fo t Sir M. Lopez and Sir H. Thompson ; Gribble asked me if I had made up my mind ; (after some further questioning) it was, about the election; I said I bad not, but if you could get satisfaction tor my loss of time and expenses. I. received 51. from Mr. Gribhle after the election—on the Mon day after the election. Jones Marsh.-1 am a wine,-merchant at Bayn staple ; I know Mr. Wilkinson ; I sent liquors to his house; two gallons, of brandy and three of -rum were sent there 011 the 13th, by the order of Mr. Gribble; on the 14th I sent a barrel of por ter—the order was given by Wilkinson ; nine gallons wcre returned, and nine were !tept ; on the 17th 1 sent 12 dozen of Port wine, 3 gallons of ruin, 4 gallons of brandy, half a dozen Port wine more, and half a gallon etch of brandy and rum ; it was ordered by John dribble ; I made out an account ; Mr. GI ibble paid for the things ; the amount of the whole was ;►til. 13s.—Cross-exa wined : What was sent ot► the 17;li was for all election dinner.—Re-examined : Cannot say when the wine was consumed, or any part of it ; the wine was sent on the 17th. This was the case on the part of the prosecu tion. Go the part of the defendant Mr. Serjeant LENS, who was specially retained, made a most able speech, in which he contended that upon the evi dence no case had been made out, except the Court might say that with respect to Mary 'fos se!! the 6th count had been made out, the 6th being a general count ; and he submitted that the evidence given co,ild not even support the 6th count. It was impossible for the Jury to place any reliance upon the testimony given by Mary Tossell, from the way in which that evidence was given. This was the only point in which the record had been made out ; anti by the evidence of Mr. Gribble, whom he should call, that testi mony would receive a most decided contradiction. John Dribble saw Mary Tossell at the house of Rennet' ; many people were there; I do not know whether fir M. Lopez was there; I never pro mised any thing to Mary Tossell ; she came up to the cotntnittee,-room door ; I never said I would give her something for her husband's loss of time, or a present for herself.—Cross-examined : I gave her a 11. note after the election ; I gave Wilkin son money fur • her husband ; I do not recollect whether Wilkinson was present when site came into the room. Mr. Set-leant PELL replied, and commented with great force upon the nature of the evidence given, contending that the crime had been most circum stantially brought home to the defendants. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the case with the utmost impartiality. He defined the nature of the crime, and explained to the Jury how it was supported by the evidence, leaving it to the jury to say whether, under the circumstances ad duced, the persons brought forward had acted in voting upon an expectation, by plomise direct or indirect, being held out to them ? The Jury, after being out a considerable time, returned a verdict at the Judge's lodging, at 11 o'clock, of Not Guilty. COMBINATION. (From the Kentish Chroniek, disgust 6.) CIVIL SIDE.-lIFPORE MR. JUSTICE PARK. THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OP EDMUND PAINE, AGAINST GEORGE DOWERS AND PIITE OTHERS. This was an indictment against the defendants for a conspiracy, charging them with combining and confederating together, to impoverish and op.' press the prosecutor, and to prevent him from carryini , on his business as a boatman in the town of Deal, and in order to accomplish which they circulated a variety of reports, charging him with being an informer. This highly interesting cause came on for trial on Wednesday, the sth inst., at Maidstone, before Mr. Justice Pam, and a most respectable Jury, :viten, on the application of the defendant's Coun sel, a Juror,. under the direction of the Learned Judge, was withdrawn, and the case referred to Edward Igguldert, O N . of Deal, the Magistrate, and a Barrister, to.ascertain costs and compensa tion for the injury sustained by the prosecutor. In the course at the opening to the Court, Mr. ADOLPHUS expatiated with his usual ability and eloquence on the nature of the crime charged in the indictment, and drew a pathetic picture of the consequences which naturally flow from indulging in trntounded surmises and malicious charges, of the nature of them so forcibly, says the Learned Counsel, " described in my brief." Here he read a considerable extract front the brief itself, and which, enforced by his admirable delivery and language, excited the sympathy of a most crowd ed Court. At the conclusion of Mr. Adolphus's speech, and after the short examination of the prosecutor, Mr. Justice PARK addressed the Jury, approving of the course taken by the respective Counsel, and observed, with a tone and feeling irresistibly impressive, " that it always gave him great pleasure when he could, consistently with the course of justice, assist in terminating an issue like the present one, by referring it to a person of such respectable character as Mr.lggol den ; as it will sometimes happen," observed the Learned Judge, " that whatever the merits and feelings of such a case, it may turn on a point of law, that would seem at variance with the sub stantial claims of the prosecutor to justice. And I am of opinion, Sir," addressing himself to the prosecutor, " that the present proceedings will TIIE SUN. S(ThEM QVJS FALSUM A tMEAT ? LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1819. We received yesteriky the Paris Papers of Thursday last. Those of Friday which %vere due this morning, have not arrived, The KING did not go out on Wednesday, but his MAJESTY presided at a Council of Miuisters• 1-le is expected, as already slated, to return to Paris the day after to-morrow, and the War Mi. , nister, the Marshal GOUVION ST. CYR, abort the same time. His MAJESTY has referred the Peti tion of Miss HUTCHINSON, fora commutatir - n of the punishment of General Saartazug, to ,:the Keeper of the Seals, who is to make a report of the circumstances of the case. The hotel of the Civil List has been attached tO the office of Grand-Veoeur, to which the Duke DE RICHELIEU was lately appointed, and the salary of the office has been raised from 50,000 to 100,000 francs. Two of the pupils of the Ecole de Droit were tried on Wednesday before the Correctional Tri bunal, on a charge of being concerned in the dis turbances there, and were both acquitted. The - KING has granted to the widow of the Doke DE FEtTEE, who died without any fortune, a pension of 15,000 francs. An article from Vienna discredits the reports that have been circulated respecting the import ance of the intended diScussions at Carlsbad. 1t is admitted, Itolvever, that the Prince DE METTER. , NIGH has invited several diplomatic personages to accompany him there, and that M. DE KEP,UZE.- MARK, the Prussian Minister, is also expected ; but it is said there will be no Minister at Carls bad on the part of either Russia, France, or. Eng land, and it is therefore inferred that the discus sions will be confined to someof the internal alftirs of Germany, which were not arranged at Frankfort. Bavaria, it said, still claims the indemnites pro mised to her, and it is added that Austria will voluntarily cede to her the territory of Voralberg, and a part of Salz!mrg, but a remarkable if is superadded to this intention, namely, if means can be found to iudemnify Austria ,on the side of Turkey. According to some rumours, the Ger man Powers are, with one accord, to give Con stitutions to their respective States, but this seems problematical. According to advices from Sttotgard, the KING and the States were likely this time to agree upon the bases of a Constitution. The papers of two Students have been seized at the University of Zubingen. FIVE PER CENTS. Wednesday DEFERRED STOCK.

The Princess, We informed, returns literally because she 1 30 es , hausted her means of living abroad, and, t ilere fore, intends to apply to G overnm ent fe , pecuniary assistance, and to adopt a plan of cece c nomy -in future. However we may regret tba the liberal allowance which her Royal Hig" es . receives has not been managed with a greater a le gree of prudence, yet it is a great consotA ii° l - to all friends to the Royal Family to 61 " that domestic matters which ought to be cooc etli‘ ed from the Nation at •large, are not likely to be brought before the Public, as they could °lf tend to set the spirit of Parry at work, and to g ive an additional incitement to those seditiou s g e. formers, who teel a malignant joy'io whatever I.can bring discredit upon their superiors, and W ra particularly upon those of the highest rank. f • We understand that it has been errotte°°sl stated that the Pamcess is expected in town c'T morrow, and that she has ordered her apar"l' en ; to be made ready by next month.
