I saw them down al Ira from of Daiia'a they f asked me if I was going home ; the first day they came I there they gave me their pistols, cutlasses, and blankets. They were there two nights before the affair of the Caroline ; they wore their cutlasses in their belts ; they had their blankets rolled up ; they called for their cut lasses and pistols the evening they came, after supper. They took them and walked out. I saw them again the next morning. Mr. Platt Smith laid them away for them the nest mourning in the same place where I had put them the day before. -They remained till evening again. The sailers Om called for the arms, but not for the blankets. The sailors lay up stairs part of the day. I saw them at their meals. The night the Caroline was burned, they took their arms again, and said, "We'll take something to drink, we shall never see you again." The fire where the gaols were burned was a little above the head of the cut. I thought there were but two boats at first, for they went pretty quick, but when I came up, I saw there were three. It was as late as three o'clock when they landed. I was not absent above three-quar ters of an hour from - Smith's. I was absent to see the boat burn. I was not in bed for six weeks. It was a busy time, and I slept on the counter. I went up to where the big light was to see the Caroline burn. I could see it from the house, but there was not so good a view there. Some thought they saw them en the boat, but I did not. I thought they were trees that intercepted our view. I only know Mr. M'Leod and the two sailors that landed from those boats. It was a cloudy night. I should think there was a moon, but I did not see it shine. It was a dark night, but I think I should know a man ten feet off. I did not speak to the sailors. I did not think it was my business to meddle with other people's business. They spoke to me first. Ido not recollect seeing any other light than that at Davis's tavern. I went up within twelve or fifteen feet of the stoop. M'Leod stood up to the stoop. His side face was towards me. Folks were talking with him. M'Leod was asked the question how many were on board the Caroline. He said there were a good many. lie was asked if any of his own party were hurt, and he said there was only one armed man on the Caroline, and he stood sentry. I don't know how many lights there were in the bar. Dl'Leod stood between me and the light. I cannot tell whether there was a light out side Davis's bar or not. There was a lamp hung out there sometimes on dark nights. I knew 3.l•Leod by his voice, and also by the light. The light by which I saw M'Leod was inside the tavern. I cannot say whether it was a lamp, a candle, or fire-light. I only saw a light shine through the window, and I stood ten or twelve feet from him. I cannot say how the prosecutorknew that I knew this. I was subpcened last winter to go to Lockport. I don't know but I told this story to Mr. David C. Bates. I don't 'know that I ever told it to Mr. Wheeler, post master of Canandaigua. Many people have asked me questions about it. When I was lumbering, I was some time with Mr. Walker, and sometime with Platt Smith. After I went home with the sailors that night I laid up their arms. I saw the sailors again the next day. They told me they were going to board on a schooner. They called for their blankets, and said they were going on a schooner. I saw one after and asked him where he " put up," and lie said "on the schooner." I never held any conservation with M'Leod. I had seen him at the court-room, and at Niagara, and St. Catherines, and Chippewa ; I have " passed the time of day " with him, bit never held any conversation with him. I knew his face best that night. I was satisfied I knew him. I knew nothing about the Caro line. I knew an expedition was got up one night to go round the island. I was not accustomed to run about that time of night, but I then suspected they were going on the island.. I knew nothing of the burning of the Caroline until I saw her on fire going down the river. I did not know that the expedition was for that purpose until they landed from the boat. I heard in the evening that there was an expedition on foot. The sailors asked me if they could get in in the night if they came back. I told them they would find me up. I ran down to see who were in the boats that I might see these were the sailors there, that I might go home and let them in. I saw the sailors there, but I did not speak to them. I did not know anybody there until they got out of the boats. They stayed to pick up, their implements at the boats about two minutes, and about three minutes at Davis's. Isaac P. Corson, examined by Mr. `Moods--I reside at Niagara Falls. I have been, there about three years —since September, 1838. I am a builder. I lived in Chippewa from 1833 to 1837-8. I was a master builder there. I remember the time the Caroline was destroyed. I saw a light, but lam not certain that I saw her. My house was about a quarter of a mile from Chippewa. I was in the village that afternoon and evening. I know Alexander ll`Lod. I knew him in 1833, and from that time on attending Court ; I saw him th e d a y p rev i ous to the destruction of the Caroline at Mr. Macklem's store; I also saw him at Davis's ; he was in the back pa r t o f the store ; Captains Drew, Mozier, and Usher, and others were with him ; I thought they were taking liquor ; glasses were spread around ; I remained but a minute or so ; the man who kept the store wished me to retire—they had some private business ; his name was Call, I think ; I saw M'Leod again about nine o'clock in the evening at Davis' tavern ; he came out at the bar-room door as I went in. I did not see that he was armed. A man went out behind him, but whether in company or not I cannot say. I saw him again the next morning. between daylight and sunrise, at the stoop of Davis's Steam-boat Hotel ; there was a crowd around him. He was telling some of the exploits on board the Caroline, and what the performance had been. He was saying he guessed they would not want to see him there again. He had killed one damned Yankee or two. There were many around, and I was listening to one or another bragging of what they had done in the expedition with him. None of them dis puted M`Leod nor said he lied. I might have seen him that day again. I saw him a day or two after that coming up from the north side of the Creek to Kirk patrick's. He had a spy glass. He had been looking over at Schlosser ; there was a gathering there. He talked of the gathering at Schlosser, and said the Yan kees were a set of cheats, robbers, and thieves, and he should like to be on such another expedition as the Ca roline, and cut out and burn Buffalo. Cross-examined by Mr. Spencer—l saw M'Leod when he was taken up at the Niagara Falls. It was last fall, but I cannot say what month. I think it was December. He was taken up . for this murder. I understood there was an examination, but I was not present. I was there in the evening, at the Eagle Hotel, when he was there. I was told Squire Bradner issued the process. He was sent to Lockport then, as I was told. Ido not know whether he was discharged by Squire Bradner or committed, but I was told he was sent for to Lockport. When I came up there I was told he was under a warrant, and was to be examined the next morning. I did not appear against him as a witness, nor did I tell anybody that night what I knew about this matter. I appeared before the Grand Jury against him, at Lockport, after that, three or four months after. I don't think he was discharged before Squire Bradner. I heard that M'Leod bad a hearing on habeas corpus there, and was discharged and went home. I appeared against him before the Grand Jury in Febru ary. I was at the Falls when he was arrested at Lewis ton. He was there under arrest three or four, perhaps five days.. I did not go down. I w as no t subpoenaed. I did not tell anybody what I knew. I did not want to have any trouble about it. I did not tell anybody until I was taken into Court, no more than what I had told on the, other side of the river before I moved over. I moved in September, 1838. I had told there what he had said about the Caroline. I recollect hint being examined before Squire Bell. It was the same fall as he was discharged under habeas corpus. I heard of his examination before Judge Bowen. I did not attend either examination. I kept it to myself on this side. The Captain Usher that I saw was the Captain Usher that was murdered at his own door. I only knew Cap tain Drew and Captain Mozier by sight. It was the 28th or 29th of December that I saw them. I only knew it was that time from the almanacs. I was doing a heavy business, and I kept my books, and put down the dates usually at the foot of my bills. I was engaged three or four weeks making out my bills, off and on. lam well convinced it was the latter end of December that I saw them at Macklem's. It was the day previous to the de struction of the Caroline I saw the fire on the opposite shore. I lived in the village of the Chippewa. I was in at Macklem's frequently. I have seen M'Leod at Davis's frequently. I saw him there at nine o'clock that night. I had heard a whisper about two or three o'clock that day, that the troops or volunteers that they were gettingup were goinground the island or to cut out th e C aro li ne that night. I don't know that M'Leod is one of the troop, but he was among them some time. I did not know one in a hundred that came out of Davis's that day, nor do I know in particular why I noticed M'Leod then. I did not speak to him. He went towards Macklem's store, and he went off toward the cut. It was as late as nine o'clock. The next morning I was within four or five feet of him. I did not speak with him. There were a great many flocking round him. The people that were round him were principally strangers. I think Mr. Wil liam Caswell was there, but lam not certain. Mr. Cas well is here as a witness. It first struck me this mo ment that Caswell was there. We have talked some little about it. Caswell told me he was subpoenaed as a witness. I think we have talked about seeing M'Leod that morning. By the Court—l cannot say which spoke of seeing M'Leod that morning first. I think I did. I think he said he saw M'Leod the next morning after the burning of the Caroline. By Mr. Spencer—l think Caswell told me M'Leod bragged about being in the boats. We did not fix what he said and the time together. Mr. Hall objected to the witness being asked what another witness had said. him till t T h h is e m w o i m tn e e n ss t and tha that h C a t a Caswell (t e ei had tGelis ras t itd a will h te a y e n s d e tvothehnoreurtgoc c urred thu d c h e tao t s Cas well told him he was there.

THIRD DIY. (From the Second Edition of the New York Herald of October 7.) We received in time for our last edition the report of the third day's trial of Al.‘leod up to one o'clock, the hour for the express to leave Utica. The testimony is direct and positive to the fact of the prisoner's partici pation in the Caroline affair. UTICA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6. Judge Gridley took his seat this morning at fifteen minutes to eight o'clock, at which time there were but a few officers, lawyers, and reporters, and not a single spectator present. The prisoner was brought in soon afterwards. The Jury were a few minutes later, and then about a dozen witnesses and idlers took possession of the spectator's seat. Charles Parke was the first witness called (examined by Mr. WOrds)—l reside in the Niagara district in Canada. lam a native of Canada. I was raised on Chippewa Creek. I was. there when the Caroline was destroyed. I was attending bar for Mr. Davis. I was there rising three months, commencing about the 10th or 15th of December, on the day on which they first dis covered people on the island.. I have known Mr. 11 , PLeod the greatest portion of the time—he has held the office of Deputy Sheriff of the Niagara district. I saw him at Chippewa in the afternoon of the day previous to the night on which the Caroline was destroyed. I saw him pretty much that day, and althost every day for frhat mat ter. I saw him that day. He went to bed at Mr. Davis's pretty early—before dark. I saw him again after dark. A gentleman came awl asked for - M'Leod, and he was shown where he was. Mr. M'Leod got up. It was be tween eight and ten o'clock. He 'came down into the bar-room, and I thick he said to Mr. Davis, if his brother should come, to say had gone to Nia gara. I saw him after he had left the house that night at between Mr. Davis's and Chippewa-cut. It was, perhaps, three quarters of an hour after. There were a good many people along the . road. Whether you could consider them in his company or not I cannot say. He went to some bOatS tied up at the side of the river. There were Trom one hundred to two hun dred people there—one hundred at all events. He proceeded up the Niegaia river with the boats. I think he got into one of them. 'He went, I,shonld think, three quarters of a mile up the river with the briefs. They had got out of the boats again, and towed the boats up the river to the point of embarkation nearly opposite the lower end of Navy Island. The current is stiff, and they towed the boats to get them up earlier. They shoved off from shore, and steered across the river as far as I could see. I remained there an hour, and then returned to Mr. Davis's and went to bed. I left Mr. Johnson, the bar tender with me, up. I have understood he is in Detroit. I have not seen him since the fall of 1838. I saw M'Leod again next morning, about sunrise, or a little after, or a little before. I saw him in the village of Chip pewa, either in front of Mr. Davis's house, or in the square. There were a great many people stirring at that time. There were none very close to him. I do not recollect hearing him" say anything. HI recollect right M'Leod had a sword by his side. I believe I saw him again during that day—l think not a great while after, standing on Mr. Davis's platform or stoop. I don't recollect how often I saw him. I have seen him very often since that day. He was about Chippewa a good deal that winter. He was often in the officers' mess-room. I think I have heard him say something about the destruction of the Caroline. It was two or three days after. I think it was in the mess room where the officers dined. Captain Stennet was one that was there, and Major Cockle of the dragoons. There were four or five of them. He said he had killed a Yankee, or something to that purport. They were conversing in reference to the Caroline. I speak with considerable certainty when I say that M'Leod got into the boat opposite the lower part of the Navy Island. I have no doubt of it. Cross-examined by Mr. Spencer—When I am at home I live now in the township of Mamfleet, seventeen or eighteen miles up the Chippewa.creik ; I am farming and have a family ; I cannot exactly say I own the farm ; it would be a lengthy story to say how I hold it ; I hold it with the other heirs of my father —my brothers and sisters; my age is 29. I attended bar for Mr. Davis something like three months and a half ; it was a busy time there ; there was a man named Johnson attended bar there. He was there before I came.. Mr. Davis attendr,a some times. The regular number that belonged to the officer's mess was six or eight. There was Ctptain William Stennett, Lieutenant Caldwell, Captain Lackey, Mr. Cockle, who had some office in the Dragoons, whether Major or Captain I cannot say. I don't recollect the names of the others. There were other guests about the house. There was a great deal of business doing. (The witness was under examination when the ex press left.) FEELING ON THE BORDER.—Several meetings have been held in Vermont, along the line, respecting the re cent abduction of Grogan. Strong resolutions were passed unanimously at Burlington and Alburgh. They were firm, decided, yet calm 'and moderate. As an in stance of their firmness, and of the feeling of the people in that region, we'give one of the resolutions adopted at the Burlington meeting "Resolved—lf this outrage shall be justified (by the British) it will be an affront to the nation ; and to the nation we confide the keeping of its honour and the pro tection of its citizens, hereby pledging ourse l ves to a hearty co-operati on , and guaranteeing that fifty thousand green mountain boys, good and true, shall be ready for the crisis." • We subjoin the most interesting miscellaneous extracts from the papers, and also the latest commercial news . : (Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer.) CASE OF M'LIOD. • • " UTICA, . 30. " I have just b een t o ld b y a member of the SEPT citizens' guard (ten of whom are on duty every night at Whites borough, where Al.‘Lcod is confined), that 'the 'Sheriff has ordered them to have thirty men fully armed and equipped every day during, the trial. The same person informs me that in this county alone there are upwards of 400 Hunters,' who are gradually centering towards this place. "It is rumoured that Captain Appleby, who com manded the Caroline when she was destroyed, has de clined attending as a witness on the trial of bl‘Leod. " We learn from the Army and Navy Chronicle, that .Commodore Thomas Ap Catesby Jones was appointed on the 23d ult. to the command of the United States squad ron in the Pacific Ocean, and will hoist his broad pennant on board the frigate United States at Norfolk." The Savannah Republican of the 27th ult., gives a long catalogue of the destruction of crops, mills, bridges, and various descriptions of property, occasioned by the recent freshet, which extended throughout the State. At Columbus several bridges, mills, and mill-dams were swept away. At Forsyth it rained from Wednesday night to Thursday afternoon without intermission. The water-courses were swollen to an extraordinary height and nearly all the bridges destroyed. ,At Washington (Wilks county) the storm was more violent than ever known before ; bridges were carried off; and scarcely . a mill remains uninjured. The fields have been swept .of whatever grew upon them, and the cotton has everywhere been so much injured as to be entirely worthless. (From the New York Morning Herald of Oct. 7.) HORRID ACCIDENT ON THE WESTERN RAILROAD. We have just received by the Western Cars the follow ing extra:— _ " Republican Office, Springfield, Tuesday Evening, Oct. 5. " This aftermoon the eastern and western pas senger trains of the Western Railroad, both going at great speed, met in a curve about four miles west of Westfield, and the effects were shocking and disastrous. Westfield depot is the place for meeting and passing, but as the train from the west was behind its time, the other train went on, the con ductor hoping to arrive at the next turn-out before meeting the other train. The baggage cars of each train were behind, of course bringing the passenger-cars directly behind the locomotives and tenders. The two locomotives and two or three passenger-cars of each train were smashed to a complete wreck. The passen gers were jammed and tumbled together in the ruins in dreadful confusion. "We are informed that eighteen or twenty have limbs broken, and as many more are sev ere ly b ru i se d and lacerated in various ways. Mr. Warren, the con ductor of the train from the west, is shockingly mutilated, but his life is not yet despaired of. The engineer of that train escaped without much injury. Mr. Moore, the conductor of the Springfield train, narrowly escaped by . jumping off. Mr. Taylor, the engineer of that train, is badly wounded. A young lady, niece of Major Whistler, is said to be danger ously hurt. Col. Harvey Chapin is much bruised but not dangerously, as is now hoped. The Rev. S. Elliott, an Episcopal clergyman from South Carolina, and family, left hex e this noon, were brought back to the United States Hotel this evening in sad condition. The ladies were not seriously hurt ; but his two sons were wounded —one scratched and bruised, and the other had his leg broken above the knee. " These are all the particular cases of which we learn. " We are not sufficiently informed of the circumstances of the sad accident to make any comment. "It is reported that Mr. Warren, mentioned above, died this morning. He was formerly conductor of the steam-boat train to Norwich, subsequently clerk of the steam-boat Worcester." A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.—The Montreal Herald of the 27th Sept., relates the particulars of a frightful ac cident. It seems that M. Narcisse Benoit a farmer near Three Rivers, L. C., recently went with his wife and her sister, a Mrs. Macdonald, into a mill at Rouville Mountain. The miller having agreed to show them the mill, they ascended to the upper story before him. He lost sight of them for a minute, and was looking for them, when ho heard a terrific scream from a small room, in which was enclosed a portion of the ma chinery, and into which strangers very seldom entered. He rushed into the room, and to his astonishment and horror, found both sisters entangled in the machinery. Catching hold of one he endeavoured to pull her out, but to save himself he was compelled to let go. Mrs. Macdonald was drawn through a space less than six inches, every bone in her body being crushed. Mrs. Benoit was also so mangled that she died instantaneously. General Edward Paine, one of the earliest settlers of Northern Ohio, died at his residence in Painesville, on the 28th ult., at the advanced age of ninety-six. Gen. Paine was one of the first who engaged in the glorious revolutionary struggle.—New York Courier, COMMERCIAL NEWS: NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT. 6, 6 P.M.

By the arrival of the George Washington last night, at Liverpool, we have received New York papers of the 7th inst., with a full report of the trial of ALEXANDER M'LEOD to the after noon of the 6th, being the third day of the proceedings. In consequence, we sup pose, of the absurd and mischievous bravado of the Times, and other Tory papers, that the Jury would be composed of members of the Society of Friends, who would not return a ver dict affecting a man's life, Judge n .ARIDLEY, who presided at the trial, allowed no person to be sworn in as a Juror who 'lid not first affirm that he was without scruples as to the infliction of capital punish ments. M'LEoD was charged with the mur der of AMOS DURFEE, a Citizen of the United States, who was on board the Caroline the night she was taken . and burnt by the British invaders from Canada. H e appeared at the bar well-dressed, and hi s deportment was mo dest and respectable. During the delivery of no part of the evidence given against him did he manifest the slightest a' -11 ppre en sion , and were we to admit the , legality of his trial—which of course we do not—the testi mony of the witnesses for the prosecution down to the close of our report, was not so conclusive as to place his life in any peril. Of eight wit nesses examined only two spoke of the identity of IVPLEon, and one of these so imperfectly, that no rational Jury could place any reliance on it. GILMAN A PPLEBy, who received a blow in the affray, gave the following evidence : I saw the man that struck me with the sword aslstood on the companion stairs. There was a light in the gang way, just at the head of the companion stairs, so that I could see his face. The light was perhaps two or three feet from the door. I then supposed it was Alexander M'Leod. I had been introduced to him about a week before at the Eagle Tavern in Buffalo, and knew his ap pearance. I was examined the day after this at Schlosser by a Magistrate, and my attention was called to the per son who struck me, and I told every one that asked me that I supposed that it was M'Leod, but it was done very quick, and I might possibly be mistaken. I went to Field's, and in five or ten minutes went to the back and watched the boat burning. And SAMUEL BROWN, another witness, de posed as follows : The boats landed below the river on Chippewa-creek, about 25 rods from the head of the cut up to the creek. They landed close to the river. There were three boats. I was at their side. There were ten or twelve men in a boat. M‘Leod was one, I should say. I was eight or . ten feet from the boats. Saw all get out of the boats. Was ten feet from M‘Leod when he got out. Smith was with ine. They walked ten or twelve rods to Davis's tavern in the village. I was in company with them. They were talking of the destruction of the boat. Others came down where they landed. All stopped outside the house. Some one said, let us go in and take a drink. I think there was a lamp outside. There was a light inside. The door was opened and shut. I saw M‘Leod there. Don't think lam mistaken. Was within eight or ten feet of him at Davis's tavern. I heard him speak. Did not talk with him. lam as sure that I saw him there as I am that I now see him sitting before me. This is the whole of the evidence against M'LEon, personally, in the report of the first two-and a-half day's proceedings. It amounts. to little more than a conjecture on the part oftwo men who knew the prisoner hut imperfectly. On the se cond day of the trial, during the examination of a witness named FIELD, the Judge pronounced an opinion which justified the destruction of the Caroline. "It appears," said the Learned Judge, " that there was an armed force at Chippewa, that there was a hostile force on Navy Island, and that this force was recruited by men, and furnished with arms and provisions from the United States' side, and that the Caroline was employed in transmitting them." This opinion clearly places the question of the attack on the Caroline within the jurisdiction of international law. FIELD, a witness for the prosecution, ad mitted on oath, that " Men and munitions of war were carried over daily from Schlosser to Navy Island." He further admitted that he saw " several pieces of artillery" carried to the Island byan armed force from the United States. We do not see, after such evidence as this, how the Judge can tell the Jury that they have the slightest jurisdiction in the case of M'LEOD. From the order observed by the Court, and the extreme solicitude to obtain an impartial Jury, we see clearly that the Bench and Bar of the United States are fully alive to the severe scrutiny which their conduct upon this trial will elicit in England. They therefore assume a gravity becoming the greatness of the occasion, knowing that the soundest lawyers in the world will sit in judgment upon their opinions and pro ceedings. So far as the evidence extends, it affects 111‘Lton very little; and if a verdict be asked—which we are still half inclined to doubt —we anticipate his immediate acquittal. The Memorial of the Sussex Shipowners' So ciety to the President of the Board of Trade, is a consolatory feature in the present deranged state of trade and commerce. Injustice, like fever and plague, cannot long be inflicted on one portion of society without sooner or later affect-. ing all around it. The poor starving Paisley weavers, the suffering operatives of Leeds, and the insolvent small shopkeeperS in most• of our manufacturing towns, will soon have . many com panions in affliction. The shipowners, many of whom . assiSted in restoring to office the Do-no thing Government, begin already to cry out that unless something is done, and that speedily, they will be ruined. The restrictions on trade, imposed by our hereditary ,Legislators and a House of Commons representingonly the wealthier classes, have depressed British shipping nearly as much as British manufactures. Foreign vessels are competing successfully with our own ; and those engage4,iu..tbe. Baltic trade, in particular, are 'threatened with absolute ruin. It appears that Of the total number of vessels employed in our trade with that quarter, nearly two-thirds belong `.to foreign countries. 4 ‘ 'This, " say the distressed shipowners, " arises from the fact that Baltic ships can be built, manned, victualled, and sailed at nearly one-half the cost of British ships. The tax alone .on the building material for 100 tons of shipping amounts to 5001., independently of the tax on labour and freightage of the,materials to this country.", But this is not all. The Sound dues levied on grain imported from some of the Baltic ports amounts to 'sixty per cent. more if in British than foreign privileged vessels. ..Under_such ,disadvantages, no skill, enterprise, or wealth, can save our shipping from ruin. The depression in one quarter must soon be felt in another, and in a few years, perhaps months, we shall find our enterprising shipowners and hardy sailors, the great bulwark of 'the country, reduced to a state of bankruptcy and want, not exceeded even by that of the master manufac turers and operatives. Do the nobles and the landed gentry imagine that they can escape the effects of this wide-spreading devastation ? Pro vidence has ordained it otherwise. "He that op presseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want." From a brief account, in another part of The Sun, of some statements made yesterday by the clergyman of a Catholic church in London, it appears that the pestilence has reached the metropolis, and that the wealthier classes are obliged to curtail their donations to the poor, from the want of means. We do not regret it. However much we sympathise with the suffer ings of the working classes, we rejoice that they are not to suffer alone. The shipping interest, the landlords, and• the millionaires even, will take alarm, and compel the Government to take measures for staying the plague which now threatens every portion of the community.

It is to be feared that the Treasury at Madrid will be much drained in order to pre serve tranquillity. The Grain Market is higher again on the Continent ; prices are firm. This proves the existence of deficient stocks. Our accounts from the manufacturing districts are indifferent. THE MARKETS—THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE.

E VENING - STY , CRIMINAL , COUR OLD T—(TRIS LlfArii);• COURT.. • 4 i a 74 The Sessions at thq Old Bailey commenced this morning, being the last miler the present mayoralty, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Serjeant Arabin, Deputy Rocorder, the Lord Mayor Elect, Alderman Sir Chapman Mar shall, the new Sheriffs Magnay an d R ogers, and new Under Sleriffs, and others of the municipal authorities. The calendar contains the names of 228 prisoners for trial, four of whom stand charged with the crime of murder. At the opening of the Court at half-past ten o'clock,. those portions of the Court •appropriated to strangers were entirely unoccupied, as there was not a single spectator present further than those parties who had business with the Court, or had been summoned to attend upon the Juries. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The REcoanEa then delivered his charge. He said the calendar then lying before him comprised the names of two hundred and twenty .eight persons for trial, and there was every reason to expect that an addition to some considerable amount would be made to their number before their labours were concluded. The case to which he would more particu larly call their attention, was that of Robert Blakesley,. who was charged with the murder of Mr. Burdon, and against whom probably another bill would be found, charging him with the crime of stabbing his wife, Sarah Blakesley, with intent to murder her. The circumstances of this case, as they were disclosed in the depositions were such that he felt it to he his duty to tell them, that it would be, in his judgment, incumbent en them to put the case in course of further inquiry. He was un willing to advert to the particulars of the case, or in any case to prejudge the circumstances ; at the same time he saw enough perfectly to satisfy him that the case ought to go for further inquiry. It would appear that the man had obtained a sharp ened instrument with which he had gone and committed the murder without interruption. If in this fact any mitigating circumstances should appear, that would be matter for the con sideration of the Court. The Cotter then proceeded to swear in the Common Jury, and much amusement was caused by the various excuses made for non-attendance. One worthy Juryman stated as an excuse that he was extremely deaf, and that his hearing being bad, his understanding must necessarily be bad als o . U n d er those circumstances th Court at once excused him. UNION-HALL-(THIS DAY. This morning two well-known thieves, of the names of 1171- liarn Castle and George Johnston, the latter of whom has been repeatedly in custody for similar offences, were brought before Mr. Trail!, charged with having committed burglary, at the house of a lady of the name of Wardale, St. Thomas' -street, Borough, and stealing therefrom plate to the value of 70/. Mrs. Wardale identified the stolen articles of plate as her property, and deposed that she and her family had gone to church, and at the time of the burglary no person was in the house. Other evidence to the same facts was adduced. The prisoners, who declined giving any account of them selves, were fully committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
