Grant, himself, admitted that the • •'• Raja ought to have an opportunity of offering evidence, and of answering the charges made against him. This appeared from the 55th and 56th paragraphs of the minutes of the 31st of May, 1838, page 248 : " It would be more agreeable to ordinary practice, and would at the same time satisfy the ends of justice, if the Raja, were supplied, in writing, with the nature of the facts brought forward in evidence against him, and were called to meet them with any defensive or explanatory statement which he might think fit to offer. In the letter of Lieutenant-Colonel Ovens of the 17th January last, to which I have already alluded, there is a summary of the evidence to be submitted to the Raja, as constituting the charges against him ; whether such evidence should be communicated to his Highness in full, or in an abridged or abstracted form, may be a question for consideration. Mr. Anderson, as I collect from his minute of the 22d instant, would hold the latter plan to be 'sufficient, and his authority on such a point is high ; but the determination must rest with the Govern ment of India. when we went to war with one.diird of the human race, I because they would not: suffer us to poison them for ►old.—(hear.) All they asked them to do was to inquire. In fact, the motion did not even go so far—it did not ask, it merely recommended them to inquire. Now, nothing could be more mild, considering the jus tice of the case.—(Cheers.) They should recollect the mature of the Government in India. It was a despotic Government.; but there was, whether right or wrong he would not then say, there was a free press—there was a public tribunal for the discussion of affairs. Every act of theirs must undergo a scrutiny.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore he would recommend the India Government to meet every question.—(Hear, hear.) It would be well that there should be amongst the people of India a growing feeling that they could appeal, un ler any feeling of injustice, to this Court for redress.—(Hear, hear.) Instead of acting like the President of the Board of Con trol, who would fain prevent those " turbaned fellows" from coming to this Court with their complaints, instead of treating the Vakeels from the native Princes with ignominy and contempt, they ought rather to encourage them to bring their complaints before that Court— (Hear, hear)—to make them feel that they had but to appeal to that Court to ensure redress.--(Hear, hear.) They should afford them every possible opportunity of appealing to the Court of Directors on any alleged grievance. —(Hear, hear.) Before he sat down, he must express a hope that some less offensive amendment would be proposed than the one which had been proposed from the Chair. He did not think it met the case fully. He did not say it was insulting, because he believed it had not been proposed in that spirit, but it certainly did not meet the case fully, freely, and fairly. It merely left the Court where it was in February, 1840, before the Directors had decided on the case. The proceedings of that Court were declared to be utterly useless by that amendment. The Deputy-Chairman had not been content to rest the case on the amendment. He had gone into the merits of the case, and had put, the question on its issue. —(Hear, hear.) He begged them, not only as a matter of justice but as a matter of expe diency, not to persevere in the amendment which had been proposed from the chair, which to speak of it in the mildest terms was curt and short, and was treating the Court in a manner in which it ought not to he treated. —(Hear, hear.) They would not have sat there day after day since Wednesday if this had been a question which it was highly inexpedient to discuss.—(Cheers.) He hoped that some amendment would be proposed if the original question was negatived, which would at least vindicate the necessity for investigation—(Cheers) —and which would be compatible with the serious nature of the subject, and with the honour and dignity of the Court. " There is, however, a very material observation to be offered in this place. Whatever be the mode of trial or inquiry we adopt, yet if the Raja is to have the oppor tunity of offering evidence (and I conceive that he ought), it is essential that he be placed in the same situation with any other accused person, and enjoy the same ad vantages, but no more. Pending the trial or other proceeding, therefore, his functions of sovereignty should be suspended. His ample wealth and despotic power furnish him with almost unlimited means of procuring favourable evidence by corruption, and of deterring by violence or intimidation all evidence of another character ; and of these means, if left in his hands, he is likely to avail himself without scruple. Such a perversion of justice it is essential to prevent; and this may, I conceive, be done in the manner I have proposed. Let the accused be allowed the widest latitude and the utmost facility of defence ; but let him be disarmed, for the time, of th e a bility t o defeat justice, by introducing falsehood and excluding truth." The 52d paragraph of the same minute, pp. 246 and 1 247, was most remarkable : " I perfectly agree with Lieutenant-Colonel Ovans when he argues, that this is not a case that can be dis posed of by admonition or reprimand, or by attempting to attach, or re-attach, the Raja to the British connec tion by measures of lenity and forgiveness. His High ness, it will be observed, exhibits no symptoms of con trition. At one time it was believed that he meditated a confession of his fault ; but from this, perhaps his most sensible course, he is said to have been directed by his Bombay advisers. Whatever may be the counsels that sway him, he has assumed the position, not of repentant guilt, but of traduced and oppressed innocence. He loudly demands redress for the suspicions and humilia tions that he has undergone, and vengeance against the accusers who have caused his wrongs. Not only so, but he has seized, as I before observed, this occasion to mar shal in array what he alleges to have been the grievances originally sustained by him at our hands, and he calls for reparation and indemnity. Under these circumstances, what ground does the case present on which an amicable adjustment can be made ? To talk of showing him mercy will, on his principle, be to add gross insult to grievous injury. He will say, have done nothing -to call for lenity ! I am unjustly accused, 'and even pro nounced guilty, of crimes which never entered my ima gination : make compensation to me for this unheard-of prosecution. I want redress, not pardon. Declare me innocent by proclamation. Confess that I have been cruelly wronged. Cede me territory ; cede me my just claims over the Jagheerdars. Deliver up to me my false and base accusers, that I may deal with them according to their deserts.' Such would, undoubtedly, be the lan guage of his Highness ; and I own that, if we lay our selves open to it, I see not how it can possibly be an swered. There is but one course that we can consis tently pursue, if we deny him to be innocent ; it is to deal with him as a criminal." Mr. NORRIS said it was the duty of every one con nected with the Court to come forward and state his opi nions frankly and manfully on the present occasion, and more particularly the ditty of those who, like himself, had from a long residence in India an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the bearings of the case. In his opinion the Raja was the victim of the intrigue; of the Brahmins. He did not state this upon his own judg ment alone, for the Court would recollect that in 1831 upwards of 3,000 of this caste had made the strongest and most virulent representations against the Raja to Lord Auckland. If the evidence in the volume which he then held in his hand (" Official Papers concerning the Case of the Raja of Sattara") were to be believed, it would appear that the Raja put his liberty and posses sions in the hands of those whom he knew to be hostile to him. Was it to be believed that any one in his senses would have acted in that manner ? If the Government believed him to be guilty, they should have watched him closely, and the more especially were they bound to do so when it was well known that those accusing him were his bitterest enemies ; but these conside rations were not attended to, and the Raja was the victim. It was admitted that the hand writing of the Raja was not produced in support of any of the numerous charges made against him, and.it was also pretty well known that his accusers were not likely to speak the truth: A great deal had been said of the mo&eal actuating the Gentlemen whose names were h63ociated with this question. Upon this head he Could only say that he was sure all were influenced by feelings most pure and honourable.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Still he dissented most strongly from the pro ceedings of the Bombay Government, and expressed his belief in the innocence of the Raja. No men had a right to ask him to assert distinctly that the Raja was inno cent, however strong the moral conviction might be within his own breast on the subject ; for even if he were asked to affirm that the Hon. Deputy Chairman was not a housebreaker, he could not positively nega tive the assertion, however ridiculous and preposterous it might appear,—(Laughter.) No man had a right to have a heavy charge brought against him without a trial being afforded to him at the same time ; but who could say that there was a fair trial given to the Raja to prove his innocence of the charges of intrigue that were brought against him. He never had an opportunity of defending himself , and, as Englishmen, a stain had been put upon their character, and a wrong inflicted, for which it was their bounden duty to afford a remedy. He saw no course adopted in the present case which would act as a caution to prevent the recurrence of the same injustice at a future period. With respect to the charge of the Raja's endeavour to seduce the Sepoys, he (Mr. Norris) did not consider it to be established in a man ner at all satisfactory. Honourable Gentlemen had dwelt on the assertions that the Raja was to give notice to the Sepoys, in case of any dis turbances at Bombay in consequence of the communica tions with the Governor of Goa ; but the fact was that the Sepoys were strictly cautioned to take no notice whatever of any outbreaks that might occur throughout the country. It was well known, as he before asserted, that those upon whose testimony the accusations against the Raja of Sattara rested were Brahmins,• who were united not only by caste, but were also united in blood and rascality.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.), lie (Mr. N.) thought that, considering it hits St/ satisfactorily proved that the Raja WM at variance with the whole Brahmin caste, it was impossible to attach the slightest credence to their testimony. If the Raja carried on those intri gues at Goa, how was it possible that they could have escaped the cognizance of the Resident ? In several let ters from Sir R. Grant, it was asserted that the Raja was most strongly attached to the British Government. He (Mr. N.) had been in company with the Raja about half a dozen times, and his demeanour towards the English was frank, friendly, and joyous ; and he would appeal to those present who had a similar opportunity, for the truth of his assertions. • Such was his conduct until the unfortunate circumstances connected with the Jagheerdars, when a very marked difference was perceptible ; and he would ask if there was one iota of truth in the accusation of his being a dissembler, why he did not adopt a different line of con duct, and turn the more obsequious and fawning ? (Hear, hear) —instead of which he became morose, and even uncourteous, with the Resident and Governor. He would again ask if this proved him to be versed in the arts of dissimulation. No one who had opportunities of observing his demeanour, could for a moment suppose that he was supporting for any length of time the cha racter of a regal gambler, or mixed up with intrigues to gain the aid of Portugal, or other Foreign Powers. If the opinions of the Residents were stated, it would be found that his Mind' was solely occupied with the inter nal policy of his province, and all his energies directed to the erection of schools,, Construction of roads, and such local improvements, .and that he was the most indus trious of the Ilindoo Princes of India. How was that consistent with the character of a man intriguing for the accumulation of vast territory and influence ? The seat of all those intriguer, which the Raja was accused of carrying on, were petty Courts in India, where there were no British Residents, and where no possible service could arise to him, and therefore there was ample grounds for supposing these were sham intrigues.— (Hear, hear.) What those who advocated the cause of the Raja wanted, was not any particular form of trial but a fair hearing.—(Hear, hear.) It was ridiculous on the part of those who said that the Raja should be tried by a jur y of his Peers. Such as s er ti ons were use d i n Order to defeat the ends of justice.—(Hear, hear.) The Gdvernment of India was carried on under regulations passed by the Governor-General in Council, which be came the law of the land, and not like the administra . time of justice in this country. Was it fair, if a trial, according to the strict legal punctilios, could not be granted, that there should be no trial at all 2—(Hear, hear.) He agreed with the gentleman who last sat down that the ,amendment was merely preparatory. Those who were appointed to high official offices ought to be persons of high character and tact, and able to con quer the difficulties incident to our Indian possessions. Much as he admired the character of Sir James Carnac, yet he thought that when the Raja said he would not con sent to sign the paper, a different course should have been pursued. The Raja ought to have had a fair hear ,, ing, but instead of such being preparedngtheca b se, 3 t r h t e h e e v ß id e e s n id c e e n t t o , .be adduced against him was but was never shown to the Raja previous to his, being called upon to si g n the document. He (Mr. N.) was not able to call Sir ames Carnac his friend, yet, he owed Sir James a debt of gratitude for appointing him to a high situation shortly after his return to the colonies. The Raja being conscious of his innocence refused to sign a do cument declaring himself guilty, and the subsequent treatment he received could be characterised in no other terms than harsh in the extreme ; and he (Mr. Norris) was surprised at the manly and consistent conduct of the Raja, under the injustice with which he had been treated. He had tried repeatedly to open a communication with the Bombay Government and the Honourable Court of Directors, but in vain. There might have been an in flemity of temper manifested by the Raja, but this was tie proof of his intriaming against the interests of the British empire. His Hon. Friend (Mr. Warden) who had previously addressed the Court, had drawn an infe rence unfavourable to the Raja, in consequence of his giving up. his Minister, Govind Row (as it was stated), to his enemies. , But the fact was quite the reverse of this, for Govind Row was delivered up to the Bri tish Resident,. from whom he was sure to expe rience justice. Mr. Elphinstone had expressed his assent with the majority of the Directors of that Court, and given his re asons a t l eng th f or d o i ng so, an d al -1 thOug h l that gentl eman was a man o f t h e hi g h est cha raCter., and ►etost splendid talents, and h e p u t f orwar d .! all thWg,4dent i upon this occasion, yet his observations were not everth the paper they covered, either as assist ing thteltentlemen at the other side of the bar out of , !-their dilemma, or affording any difficulty to their oppo nents is considering them If the Raja made himself a disgrace t 6 the:British alliance, by tyranny or otherwise, it might be said to him that the treaty and its beneficial F ovisions • shpuld b e annu ll e d ; but, to all other pur p'Aes he was quite an independent sovereign, and, as such, was entitled to be treated ; but he contended that he had not acted in any way in the slightest degree inconsistent with the treaty. The Hon. Gentleman here read a long extract from the " Sattara papers," extend ing from page 373 to page 379, so rapidly and in such an indistinct voice as to,render it impossible to catch its purport ; and proceeded to say that the letter he had just read:Was meant to silence everything that had been ad vanced-against the Raja, and that such a letter would never have been written if there were not the strongest That was a most remarkable passage, and convinced him of the honesty of Sir Robert Grant's mind. He had fully entered into the feelings of the Raja as an innocent man, and had traced out most accurately the line which the Raja had pursued—(Hear, hear)—and that opinion of Sir Robert Grant's appeared to be equally entertained by the Governor-General, as appeared from the minute of the 23d of December, 1838, p. 335 :- " We are called upon, I feel, by very strong conside rations of propriety and expediency, to b&ing the guilt of the Raja to the test of a final or3of, by the best and most just process which can be ZieVised ; and then, if he should have been unable t( exculpate himself, to remo ve him from a throne of - which he will have shown hi mse lf to be eminently undeserving." Some ParAfeS had treated this as merely a judicial questior, ; others had been inclined to treat it more as a poli*.,;eal question. The Court of Directors seemed to t.,reat it rather as a judicial question. At p. 336 in the minute of 23d of December, 1838, the Governor-General said— " It is not neecessary to establish it as a fixed rule, that the British Government cannot depose any Prince not taken flagrante hello, except through the medium of a formal trial.' But in this instance, if the Raja should eventually demand to be confronted with the wit nesses against him, and to be placed on his trial, or even if he should not himself make that demand, but the written explanation or defence, which I would pro pose in the first instance to require from him, should seem, as it very possibly may, to leave a necessity for some further proceeding, there may perhaps be no al ternative to such a mode of final examination and dis.- posal of the case, however cumbrous, dilatory, mid in convenient it must be felt to be. Commisohmers of high rank and character from the other Presidencies, if ne cessary, might be assembled for the purpose. Detailed orders would, in such a case, if we are forced to the measure, be necessary on the precise mode of trial, and all the other circumstances attending the procedure, to which allusion is made in the letters from Bombay. But it would be premature to enter at all upon those points at present. "As the first step, I would, as suggested by Sir Ro bert Grant, request that the Raja should be furnished with a written statement, embodying a full and clear de tail of the factS conne'L'ied with the several charges, and of the names (w;:a 1 any reservations which may be abso lutely required for the safety of the party) of the wit tTss2S oy whom they are proved, with a notice of the P-Ircumstanets under which the evidence was obtained, and call for from him, within a certain reasonable time to be fixed, a similar written statement of whatever he may desire to urge in his own behalf. The Acting Re sident will, of course, take care, by every means in his power, to see that his guarantees to witnesses are, in let ter and spirit, fully maintained. " I should think the above measure, as a preliminary one, preferable to the course of giving to the Raja a memorandum of each diStinct portion of oral or written evidence against him, the result of which might be much confused, and unnecessary prolixity in the reply. When that reply shall have reached me, I would judge from the tenor of it, whether it would be advisable to go on at once to any further proceeding, or to await a further communication from the Honourable Court ; to whom, of course, as well as to the Supreme Government in In dia, the reply would be immediately communicated." a t h n a y t r t e h p e l y y s t to e t ti h il. at. h elairehopecl whether„ o a e t f l o y r e o p t i h n e i 6 c a l e b h a a t d e He did not know if the Hon. Cl ourt o f D i rectors had n l o tt s d e e cd been given by till" Court of Directors on that subject. He had already stated that the Board of Directors had agreed Witt the General Government ; but he had yet to leFm."‘vbat right the Bengal Government had to :deter "'...ne upon the case without waiting for the directions of the Board of Directors.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that in so doing the Bengal Government had not paid that deference and attention to the Court of Directors which they ought to have done.--(Hear, hear.) The distin guished'Nobleman who had been the predecessor of Sir Robert Grant in the Government of Bombay, had not been ashamed to confess that in the proceedings which he had adopted towards the Raja of Sattara he had been wrong. Why should they be ashamed to retrace their steps ? Why should they be ashamed to acknowledge that they were wiser to-day than they had been yester day ?—(Cheers.) The proper course to have pursued in the case of the Raja of Sattara would have been the one which had been pursued in the case of the Raja of Mysore, who had been suspected of plotting against the British Government. They had not taken upon themselves to decide the cause ; but Commissioners had been appOinted, to whom the administration of the do= minions of the Raja had been' confided, so that, if the Raja was found guilty, he might eventually be deposed, but if he should prove his innocence, in that case his, dominions would be restored to him=-and such ought to have been the course pursued towards 'the Raja of, Sat tara.—(Hear, hear.) They ought not to have decided on the question of his guilt or innocence at once, bit they should have waited the result of an investigation.--(Hea r .) , Instead of that they had rushed at once 'to . , a decision without inquiry. Sir Robert Grant had"it:go txliressed his opinion that there ought to be no comvroinise—s o did they say. .If the Raja were guilty he ought to he deposed ; he had justly forfeited his throne ; and he did think if the Raja were proved guilty that no one there would hold up their hands against his deposition ; but he could not be declared guilty until he should have had a fair trial, and as he had not had a fair trial he was, at that moment, although a prisoner, by right, the Raja of Sattara.—(Hear, hear.) He had been seized in his own palace at the dead of night, and deposed, notwithstanding his protestations of inno cence. Who had been the witnesses against him ? Liars, suborners, perjurers, criminals of the deepest dye ; and could they believe him guilty upon such testimony, not 7 withstanding his protestation that he was not guilty, while the most distinguished Proprietors who had been Residents at his Court had solemnly declared that they believed the Raja was incapable of giving utterance to a falsehood—(Hear, hear,)—and he had authority for stating, that the only other gentleman who had been a Resident at the Court of Sattara (Captain Grant Duff) entertained and had expressed similar opinions. Could they believe him guilty upon such evidence ? Would they allow vice to be thus triumphant, and virtue to be abandoned ?—(Hear, hear.) This was a question regarding not merely the Raja of Sattara. The pro ceedings in this case would be circulated throughout India, and they should not hesitate to do that which was manly and just, and, he would add, which was also ex pedient.—(llear, hear.) It was their duty to afford the fullest, freest, and fairest investigation into the case. -- 1 "I (Rear, he ar .) Our dominion in India was not held by the sword alone,—it depended upon the faith which the native had in the justice of our Government, and the native Princes or others might argue that what had hap pened to the Raja of Sattara might happen to themselves.

He could not help remarking on the want of courtesy and feeling shown .by the Court, touching the applications of the Raja, who had sent let ters upwards of 15,000 miles, which were actually re turned to him again. Surely this was not the way in which the Court should have acted. The members of the Court of Directors said they were compelled to drive the Raja from the throne, but it had not been proved that he was guilty of tyranny, or conduct that was at all disgraceful to our alliance. Sir R. Grant, and even the Court of Directors themselves, admitted that he was fit to be a pattern for all the Hindoo Princes, and one whom it was the duty of the British Government to keep on the throne.

FRIDAY NIGHT, JULY 16.—Neven has there been exhi bited in this century and this country so extraordinary a dis play of arbitrary povrcr as that which the High Sheriff chose to present to the public. For no cause he appears to have had all the election business stopped—all the approaches to the Court-house rendered impassable—all access blocked up by cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and this, too, was done in the face of the most perfect tranquillity—nay, in despite of the most soiemn stillness on the part of the populace. There were neither upon their part numbers nor noise to afford the shadow of a pretext for an apprehended riot; but then this milidary cordon which invested the Court-house, under the orders of the High Sheriff, produced one good effect for his party—it closed the booth. at Rahvilly, , in which the Liberal strength lay, and it has won the election for Col. Bruen. It kept out voters who were going up for Mr. O'Connell. This can be proved on oath, and as a sufficient number were by this military stratagem, under the superin!endende of tho High Sheriff, prevented from being polled at the one booth, it has, as far as this election is concerned, disfranchised them. It will scarcely be believed, that a person holding a situation, like that of high sheriff, should have ordered them to be de prived of their rights, and, by a mere act of undisguised despo tism, the Court-house, where the law sanctioned the registet ing of their votes, should be surrounded with an armed force, and the electors told, that ;f they even attempted to go to the poll, they must be sabred or bayoneted for the attempt. It was about five o'clock, just an hour before the poll closed, that this was done on Friday. Every one was excluded by the orders of the High Sheriff—not merely those connected with the press— not merely freeholders—but the conducting agent of Mr. O'Connell ! This gentleman, Mr. Arthur French, happening to leave the Court-house for an instant on business of the elec tion, and and returning in a few minutes afterwards, was told he could not be admitted, for " the High Sheriff had ordered no one to be permitted to pass." Anything so monstrous as this, never occurred at an election—but it helped to close the booth from which danger to Colonel Bruen was appre hended. _ _ _ _ The High Sheriff is notoriously a partisan of Colonel Bruen ; for that he is not to be blamed, if his party feelings did not in duce him to step beyond the line of his duty, and to assume to himself powers, which, if fairly exercised, must still, on account of his politics, be tinged with the semblance of partiality. He took upon himself the entire management of the civil and mili tary power; and this he did although there were by his side two Stipendiary Magistrates, Mr. Greene and Mr. Tuckey. On a former day upon some of the tenantry of Col. bruen going up to the booths upon Mr. O'Connell's tallies, an at tempt was made to seize them by the Orangemen, and this at tempt was successfully resisted. Thirteen of these men, who were the most staunch in their resistance to the Colonel, were reserved for the last day's polling, when it was hoped they would aid in turning the majority in favour of the Liberal candidates. The Orangemen were aware of this, and had therefore resolved to get hold of them, and carry them out of the county. Mr French knew this to be the determination, and therefore de sired to have the aid of a few soldiers to protect them from the hotel in which they were stopping to the Court-house. He appplied on the subject to the assessor, and the assessor desired him to speak to the sub-sheriff. He saw the High Sheriff with some difficulty, and by him he was directed to go to the sub-sheriff, who again sent him to the assessor; but when he went to look for the assessor, he was not to be found for some considerable time. At length the assessor sent him to the High Sheriff again, but when he scat searched for, he was also missing ! Thus Mr. French was kept running about for nearly three hours, before he could even approach the object he had desired; and even then he was told he should make an affidavit, before he could have what he required. He imme diately prepared an affidavit, declaring that he was obstructed on the 13th July instant, in bringing up to poll the freeholders in the interest of deponent's clients, and attempts were made to take them from deponent's agents ; and, therefore, depo nent, on the pat t of his clients, and for the preservation of the peace, requires a sufficient force for their protection, from Henton's Hotel to the hustings, otherwise the poll may be closed, by which deponent's clients may be prevented f om polling the freeholders. But then, having made this affidavit, he was told that it was alleged the freeholders were in custody, and not willing to vote for O'Connell and Yates, and, therefore, an affidavit _ . would be required for them. This difficulty was also overcame by the following:— "County of Carlow, to wit.—We, the undersigned free holders of the county of Carlow, do solemnly declare that it is our intention ts) vote for Messrs. O'Connell and Yates at the present election, and require protection to bring us to the hus tings for that purpose. " Taken and declared before us this 16th day of July, 1841. " WALTER I3LACKNEY, J.P. " JOIIN NOLAN, J.P." (Thirteen signatures. ) It was not until after hours of delay, and these embarrass ments had been removed, that Mr. French could get a few soldiers, to prevent an occurrence which must have led to a breach of the peace. attempt to seize these freeholders, and to carry them off, must have produced a conflict in which life might have been lost. To prevent a certain riot, affidavit upon affidavit was required, which, at a later hour in the day, to close up the booths there was not even a single shout in the streets to justify the closing of the booths, by all the array of Carlow. • The people here arc tno astute not to have seen, in an instant, what wat , aimed at by this manoeuvre, they looked ore patiently while this solemn farce was enacting. There was written on every countenance the demonstration of that feeling which the long rule of Tory ism has implanted in the breasts of the people of this country ; namely, " that there is neither law nor justice for the poor Irishman." _ _ There were nine men bringing up to the poll at the moment that the booths were closed against them. This is a fact stated on the authority of Mr. French, the agent of Mr. O'Connell. Had these nine men been polled, Colonel Bruen must have lost the election. These men being excluded gains him the county. It is now, and only now, that the intensity of feeling that pervades the hearts even of the poorest peasant woman that one sees in the streets, or passes on the road, can be understood. In all places one, if coming from the Court-house, is stopped by them, to " know how the election is going on," and when they have heard that O'Connell was not in a majority, the ob servation has been almost invariably the same, "My God, my Go.I ! there will be no standing the county —no living in it, if the Orangemen gain the election." But when they have this feeling, and know, which they do well, that victory has been taken from themselves and given to . their opponents by means of a paltry trick,' who can be surprised if their indignation burst out into opesua,cts 4af of violence, and that they endeavour to anticipate the vengeance that they apprehend ? Sentiments of the most deadly ;hatred mutually animate the Orangemen against the people and the people against the Orangemen ; and both are full of courage and ready to encounter each other. At pre sent, and with such a commander as Colonel Jackson, the army is impartial—being prepared so attack those, whatever be their, party, who attempt to break the peace. It was with that interftion he brought out the forces on Monday, and made that military display, for which there was more necessity than might be imagined. It seems that the Orangemen had threatened to come down to Carlow, from all parts of this, the Queen's, King's county, and Wexford, and as it is notorious that they always come armed ; the peasantry here, and in Kilkenny, had armed themselves with pikes and pike-handles, and would have again stood in the field against them. It was to prevent this colli sion that Colonel Jackson made the demonstration, being quite determined to cut down the first man who fired a shot, or used a deadly weapon. His precautions had, however, been ren dered unnecessary by the care of Mr. John O'Connell, who, while travelling from Kilkenny with the voters,, became ac quainted wiih the fact of the peasantry having pike-handles. He instantly stopped the processibn, and haring addressed the people and entreated of them instantly to cast their weapons away, they did so, and he has assured me that hundreds were east into the fields on both sides of the road. So implicitly were his orders obeyed, that there was not a single man to be seen armed when Colonel Jackson, at the head of his troops, met them outside of the town. It will come with surprise upon the English reader to learn, that one reason why this contest has been lost to the Liberals —by those who are struggling for a free trade in corn, has been occasioned by the Carlow tenantry of the Earl Fitzwilliam voting with the Corn-monopolist, Colonel Bruen, while, at the last election, they voted a g ainst him. The Protestant tenantry of a Catholic landlord, Mr. Tighe, also voted with the man who denounces the religion of seven-eighths of his countrymen "as an idolatry ; " and the defeat too, to be as cribed to the absence of several leading Whigs ; for instance, Mr. Flagot, the Iligh Sheriff of the county Dublin, Mr. Tighe, Mr. Vigor':, a relative of the late Member, and some others. Hrd they all aged like 11Ir. Hatchett, Q.C., who, at great inconvenience to himself, came down here to vote, the result must have been far otherwise. The most curious inc . dent of the past contest (for so I now consider it), although the formal return will not be made by the Sheriff until to-morrow, was the fracas between Captain Smith and Mr. William J. O'Connel ; namely, that a person using a written card is not to be considered a gentleman. How the matter will be looked upon at the Horse Guards, is not known ; but here it has produced a feeling with respect to the army, especially the Carbineers, that did not exist before. CLOSING OF . THE BOOTHS THE ELECTION TERMINATED—THE TORIES RETURNED BY A MAJORITY OF SEVEN AND NINE. There was no polling in any of the booths on Saturday morn ing. and the assessor (Mr. Joy) announced his determination to close the booths at twelve. Mr. Smith, as counsel, argue'l for the Liberal candidates against the propriety of carrying this determination into effect. He insisted that the b ,oths ought not to be closed before five o'clock. The as , essor said he should take a note of his objection, but ;bat he would certainly close the booths at eleven; Shortly after twelre-o'clock the High Sheriff announced that the numbers polled during the election were as follow Mr. Gruen v 705 Mr. Bunbury Mr. Yates Mr. O'Connell He therefore declared .'lr. lirum and Mr. Bunbury duly elected to represent the county in Parliament. Previous to the return being made; a protest against the il legality of the entire proceedings of the High Sheriff was handed in by Mr. Smith, as Counsel on behalf of Mr. Yates and Mr. O'Connell. The grounds of the protest are these : " On the ground of a refusal and delay of the Sheriff and assessor to afford protection with the military or civil power to the electors in the interest of the Messrs. O'Connell and Yates, until so late a period that they were by such delay prevented from polling. " On the ground of fraud and deception practised in pre venting such protection in sufficient time to allow said voters to poll. On the ground of the ille2,al conduct of assessor and of de puty in refusing to admit the votes of several electors who were in attendance to vote for O'Connell and Yates in the booth for the barony of idrone East. On the ground of the illegal conduct of the assessor in making speeches calculated to intimidate the electors in several booths, and whereby, in fact, several voters in the interest of O'Connell and Yates, were deterred from giving their votes. " And on the ground of stoppages and interruption of myself and the other agents of O'Connell and Yates in passing back wards and forwards in the said necessary business of said elec tion, at reasonable times and in a legal manner in the open streets of the town of Carlow, and in the entrance to and pas sages of the Court in which said election was held. " The reason alleged for obstructing the poll yesterday, and stopping all the passages to the Court-house was, that there was an apprehension entertained by the High Sheriff that an attack was about to be trade upon Carlow, by certain unknown insurgents from the county Kildare." • SCOTLAND. RUMOURED CHANGES-COURT OF SESSION. As it can now no longer be disputed that the present,Mhtis try will speedily resign, speculation is anxiously afloat as to the various official changes consequent on that event. No doubt seems to exist that the present venerable Lord President, who has now faithfully discharged his judicial duties for nearly thirty eight years, will retire, and be succeeded by the Lord Justice Clerk, who has held this office for thirty years. The Dean of Faculty will succeed the Lord Justice Clerk, leaving, of eourse, the Chair of the Faculty vacant. Mr. Duncan MtNeill, who, was Solicitor.iGeneral during the short Administration of Sir R. Peel, in 1834 b, is mentioned as the future Lord Adsecate. Mr. Home Drummond, Advocate, and M.P. for Perthshire, is also talked of as Lord Advocate, but we do not attach much weight to the last report—first, because Mr. Home Drummond has long since ceased to have any real connexion with the bar, or with legal practice, of which, by the way, he never had xtuch—and second, because Mr. Duncan M'Neill is by far the more able man of the two, and besides enjoys the reputation of an eminent lawyer in first-rate practice. At all events, it is not even hinted that it William Rae will be again called upon, at this adraneed period of life, to fill this arduous and responsible office. The Right- Hors. Baronet will be otherwise provided for by his party—probably a Clerkship of Session, or some similar comfortable retirement with large pay and little duty. Then as to the Solicitor-Generalship, it is generally assigned to Mr. Patrick Robertson, of whom we may say, that Isis party owes more to him than he does to them. The high status of Mr. Robertson at the bar, together with his legal and oratorical powers, well entitle him to this important office. Among the other Tory lawyers who are on the high way to what we may term the first-class promotion, are Mr. Alexander Wond, Sheriff of Kirkcudbright—Mr. Adam Ander son, Sheriff of Perthshire—and Mr. R. Whigham. A report was also prevalent last week that Lord Jeffrey was about to re sign. owing to the state of his health, and that the present Lord Advocate was consequently to be elevated to the Bench. We believe that this report is without foundation. Lord Jeffrey, it is true, has not been in Court for the last few days, and will not be out during the few days of the session that have yet to run. But we are told his health is im proving, and therefore all fondly hope that this eminent Judge will be able to resume his duties at the commencement of the winter session. However, the above rumour, as also another to the effect that the Lord Advocate would retire from the re presentation of Leith on the resignation of the Whig Govern ment, have occasioned some little movement among his consti tuency. We do not know what are the intentions of his Lord ship, but should he in the sequel resign his seat; we would deem two events highly probab.e ;-Ist, That M:. R. Steuart would be selected by the Le:th constituency as their member; and 2d. That the Lord Advocate, failing the Bench, would he unanimously chosen by the Faculty of Advocates for the distin guished office of Dean. But we only express the wish of his Lordship's constituency and the Liberal party generally, when we sincerely desire that the Lord Advocate may feel it consist ent with his other duties to remain in Parliament, and still lend his valuable services to his country. —Caledonian Mercury. On these rumours the Scotsman makes the following com ments :—The rumour that Mr. Home Drummond is to be the Tory Lord Advocate, cannot possibly have any foundation. this long absence from the Courts, and his blunders when So licitor-General twenty years ago, must prevent any such ar rangement. Our impression is, that Sir William Rae must be appointed to the office, for the simple reason, that it will be extremely difficult fur his party otherwise to provide for him. Much to his credit, he refused a seat upon the Bench many years ago. and of course he cannot accept it now. No doubt he had his eye then upon a Baronship of Exchequer, and had such snug situations still existed, and some of them been held by Tories, room would have been made for him by shelving one of them. But. this abuse has been swept away by the Whigs ; and we cannot believe that the Learned Baronet, who so long embodied in his person the whole Privy Council of Scotland, can humble himself 30 far as to shrink into a puny Clerk of Session upon 8001. a-year ! Sir William is not the only man who has been looking for ward to a change of Ministry for an' addition to his worldly comforts. We heard some months ago of a pretty young man, who was engaged to a pretty young woman, and who plainly told the lady and her friends that he could not marry unless Sir Robert Peel came into power ! There are hundreds of slender youths, well connected, but deficient in money and brains, and hundreds of sweet damsels, not une fi ling to be wed, to whom, for similar reasons, Sir Ro bert's advent must bring inexpressible satisfaction. lie will now have she pleasure of performing one of the first Ci.ristian duties—that of feeding the hungry ! And we can well believe that the loud angry remonstrances so often heard during the last three years against his slow movements and want of energy, have proceeded from sufferers of this class, who thought he had the power, and only wanted the will, to annihilate space and time, and make lovers happy ! As to the last part of our contemporary's article, we have 'Made some inquiry, and we ate able to assert on good autho rity, that Lord Jeffrey neither intends to resign his gown at present, nor the Lord Advocate his seat in Parliament. The gentlemen who arta canvassing the burgh of Leith are therefore throwing away their labour, if indeed the canvass is not the mere work of agents tains are looking after fees. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY EVENING. With a trifling exception, the betting yesterday afternoon war-7 confined to the Goodwood events ; it was far from heavy, but in the list of prices given below will be found two or three changes of some interest. For the Stakes, which is still a bad race for the book-makers, Dr. Caius was in great favour with influential parties, who not only took 9to 2 freely, but offered to lay 2 to 1 on him against the late premier, Welfare, against whom there is a strong feeling at pre3ent. Monops and fiend Quatre were backed at improving prices; and Orelia at the Liverpool quotation, the layers against the latter being nume rous. For the Cup, Pocohontas, upon the strength of a bet of 500 to 100, was at olie period first favourite; the French, how ever, " bore up," and at the close, Nautilus was half a point a head. Colwick stood for some time at 5 to 1, but ultimately fell to 6to 1, laid and afterwards pffcred. Charles the Twelfth was not backed currently. ST.

A gentleman named Granville, being about to leave London for Paris, in October last, took a Out() all the way by the diligence of the Messageries Royale:. On arriving at Boulogne, and applying at the diligence office there to be carried on, he was informed there was no room. As his business was urgent, he hired a car riage, and travelled post to . Paris. On his arrival he presented his account of the expenses of his journey, 246 fr. in all, to the coach-proprietors, and demanded payment, which was refused. Upon this he laid an action against them, which was heard before the Tri bunal of First Instance the day before yesterday. The . . main quest on dispute was the hire of the carriage, which the proprietors declined to pay, on the ground that it amount, 100 fr., was greatly above what the con veyance would have cost had the traveller made use of ' the chaises which every postmaster is bound by law to have in readiness for whoever may require them. The reply to this was, that the repeated changes of carriage woull have extended the journey to an inconvenient length of time,' and defeated Mr. Granville's object in coming to Paris. The plea, however, was over-ruled by the Tribunal, which allowed the plaintiff only the charge fixed by the law for fie postmaster's carriages. The rest of the claim of Mr. Granville was awarded to him.—Paris paper. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-011 Saturday morning, about twelve o'clock, a large hayrick, containing upwards of thirty loads, the property of Mr. Edgerton, farmer, of S.outk end, near Bromley, ;xi Kent, caught tire, in consegtu nee, it is supposed. of bring stacked too green, and nearly the whole is destroyed.
