At a very Numerous and highly Respectable MEETING of INHABITANTS convened by the DEPUTY, and hold this day at the TOWN HALL, at Twelve o'clock, " for the purpose of laying before them the MEASURES which have been adopted with the view of obtaining the PAR- D(./N of JAMES TAYLOR., now at Botany Bay, under a commuted sentence of Transportation fOr Life, but who -it is believed, is guiltless of the . Crime,Tor which he is trans ported; and to adopt such further means in the Case, as shalt be deemed most advisable ;" FRANCIS COBB, TI Esq l .D v ep i uty, in the Chair; HIS mNG tailg fully considerea the Case of Attics Taylor, who, with Eighteen others, Were tried before the Honourable Barop Wood, at the Spring Assizes for the County of Kent, held at' Maidstone, in the Year One Thousand Eight-Hundred and Twenty two, under the Statute ! Fifty-second George the Third, upon a charge of hay ing, on the Second Day of September, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-one, feloniously assembled together with Fire Arms, and other offensive Weapons, at, or near Marsh Bay, in the Parish of St. John the Baptist, in this County, for the purpose of removing Smuggled Goods. it appears that upon the trial of the said Indictment, Thomas Cooke, James Justice, Samuel Kerby Meredith, and Thomas Mears, were examined, on the part of the Crown, not one of whom (except Cooke) charged the said James Taylor with being in the affray which was the subject of the In dictment ;' that Cooke, upon his cross-examination, admitted that there was much confusion and noise, that he himself was in a state of considerable alarm, and that the morning was dark and hazy at the time at which it appeared to him that he saw and heard Taylor in the affray ; that it is evident, that if Tay lor was in the affray, his presence there must have been known to Justice, Meredith, and Mears, inasmuch as they were accom plices in the offence with which Taylor was charged ; that on the part of Taylor. three witnesses, namely, Robert Harman, Chas. Winch, and Jas. Saunders, were separately examined ; all of whom proved most clearly and distinctly, that Taylor was en gaged with them, from 12 to 3 o'clock in the morning, in an. other transaction at one of the Bathing Houses, at Margate, a distance of nearly 2 miles from the place at which the affray hap pened, for which taylor stood indicted ; that although the trans action in which Taylor was so engaged 4 was one of an illicit na ture, yet it amounted, however, only to a misdemeanor, and was totally unconnected with the affair which took place at Marsh Bay, as is fully proved by the affidavits of the said Robert Harman, John Saunders, Charles Winch, and one John Jones; that Taylor being naturally anxious, not only on his own ac count, but for the proteCtion of the persons connected with him in the illicit Transaction at Margate, was induced on his first Examination, to suppress that tact, and consequently, to give an unfaithful Recount of what he was doing duriog the time of the, Affair at Marsh Bay ; the minds of t he Jury being unduly impressed with this Circumstance, found Taylor, together with the other Eighteen Persons who were i n di cte d w i t h hi m, guilty of the capital Felony with which they were charged ; it ap pears also that Mr. Adolphus, who had been retained as Counsel for Taylor, handed over his Brief to Mr. Walford, aftd lie left it to Mr. Ryland, who hid not read one word of it. 'And also, that the Learned Judge, who presided at the Trial Trial, being convinced that Cooke was mi s t a k en as to t h e , of Taylor, and being, therefore, dissatisfied with the 'Verdict, the Jury recommended Taylor to his Majesty for a Pardon ; that, notwithstanding this recommendation, Taylor has been Transported for Life, contrary to what has been uniformly the benign course pursued, in similar cases, by his Majesty's illiistrlous Family, since' their Accession to the Throne of these Realms. A It is acknowledged by the Secretary of State, that Mr. Baron Wood did recommend Taylor for Pardon, but it is stated the Judge altered his opinion after he had received farther infor mation from Mr. Peel; from whence he obtained it, or how lie could ascertain its truth, is very difficult to understand. And further, that in addition to the case made by Taylor at his Trial, farther proofs of his innocence are to be found in the dying Deposititions of the four persons who were executed for the offence ' charged upon Taylor, all negativing Taylor's pre sence at, or participation in, the crime for which they suffered; and 'also in Stephen Laurence, who employed all the persons who were engaged in the said affray, at Marsh Bay, declaring to several persons of the most respectable rank and character at Margate, that Taylor was wholly innocent of the charge brought against him, and that he (Laurence) was the person-who spoke the words, and did the acts, attributed by Cooke to Taylor. That therefore, whether regard be had to the evidence given at the trial, or that which has been subsequently obtained; but more especially when both are taken together into consideration, there is abundant proof of Taylor sinnocence ; for it is clear that of the four witnesses who were produced on the part of the Prosecution, one only affected to identify Taylor ; and that witness admitted that he was at the time to which his testimony referred, placed in such circumstances as necessarily to induce much suspicion as to the possibility of his accuracy ; for there was great noise and confusion then prevailing, and ho was in • a state of much personal alarm, and the night was dark and hazy ; and moreover if such testimoriy stood alone, it ought to be deemed insufficient to ground a judgment of Guilty upon ; but Taylor's defence is fortified by the negative testimony of three of the witnesses produced on the part of the, Crown, by the direct arid positive evidence of three consistent witnesses produced by the priloner, who could not be mistaken as to the fact to which they deposed, by the dying depositions of four convicts who were executed, and by the de claration of Laurence, who admitted himself to be the person whom Cooke mistook for Taylor; so that the charge against Taylor is sustained by the testimony of one witness only, who was placed 'in circumstances which furnish strong ground to conclude that lie was mistaken ; while his inno c en ce i s atteste d by eleven witnesse s , ne i t h er of whom could be under any mis take or delusion as to the-Prisoner's Identity. And again- it appears, that upon a late applic a ti on to t h e Honourable House of Commons, in behalf of James Taylor; Mr. Peel stated " his wish to do justice to the man, and had been so careful, that when one individual had described him self to have heard words spoken while in his own house, at the time of the afffay, which made in favour of Taylor, that he had caused the distance between that House, an d the Spot to be measured ;' the consequence was, the House was found to be fifteen roods more than half a mile from the Place where the words were said to be spoken." Now it appears, from the direct evidence of several persons present at this Meeting; that in the evening of Tuesday the 22d instant, the experiment was tried ;—when only four sentences were spoken by 3lr. Jar. via, at Mr. Cramp's House,And every word was distinctly heard at the place of the:outrage. This Meeting therefore Unanimously Resolve, that they consider James 'Taylor innocent of the Crime for which he is punished ; and earnestly intrcat the Committee to take such further steps in the Case as shall appear to them most advisable. Resolved unanimously, That a Subscription be forthwith entered into to relieve the immediate necessities of Taylor's wife and children ; and that it be appropriated under the di rection of the Gentlemen who signed the Requisition for this Meeting. Resolved unanimously, That we shall always consider our selves most highly indebted to J. P. Powell, Esq., the late High Sheriff of this County, for the very manly and kind part he has taken in favour of Taylor and his family. • Resolved unanimously, That our sincere expression of thanks be offered to R. Martin, Esq., M.P. for the v er y h umane, and activeopart he bath taken, in behalf of James Taylor. Resolved unanimously, That the cordial Thanks of this Meet are especially due to the Inhabitants who signed the Requi sition to the Deputy, particularly to Daniel Jarvis,'Esq., whos e unwearied exertions, in developing the intricacies of thi s case, are most highly creditable to his head and heart. Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Meeting are due t,o our Deputy, F. Cobb, Esq., for his able conduct in the Chair. Reiolved unanimously, That these Resolutions be printed and published in the London and also in the Kentish Papers. (Signed) FRANCIS COBB, Chairman. . / ~ •~. EAST INDIA HOUSE, July i, 1824.

HYDROPHOBIA.—We are sorry to observe, that we never recollect a season when so many accnunts reached us of the prevalence of canine madness. The last German mail states, that, at Augsburgh, several individuals who had been bitten by mad dogs, had fallen a sacrifice to hydrophobia. The magistrates had caused the destruction of upwards of 600 dogs, though a great many were still remaining. At Copen hagen the same dreadful malady had visited the canine race, and the police was busied .n taking measures to prevent the distresr:ing coniequencea. UNI VERSIT Y INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JULY 2. two Our Commemoration Week opened with excellent Concerts at the Music Room, on Monday and Tues day. The room was much thinner than on former times, and we cannot but think that the late brilliant Concerts at our Town Hall, where we had the pleasure of hailing the " divine Catalani;" greatly affected them. Mr. Sapio sung in his usual Chaste and manly style. It is no undeserved compliment to that Gentleman to say, he excelled in, every thing lie under took.. Of his ballads we need only Mention that the pretty Scotch air of " Kelvin Grove" was rapturous ly e ncore d, as it was at the Town 'Hall; Wh ere h e was engaired with Madame Catalani. We are happy here to have an opportu nity of thanking Mr. Sapio for•the introduction of Bishop's song, " Oryntilia, nly beloved." We understand it had been laid on the shelf for some years, till his good' taste brought it again into the orchestra. Now hehas given it new life, we hope It will still keep flourishing,. d " beloved.".—Miss Stephens can receive no addition to i-errt v ' cioni any praise of ours. It is enough to say, that she tiessib g--, , as we have always heard t, her, with that sweetness, anti delivacy of taste, which those atgashrtow.how to estimate who have had the pleasure of bear ing her. On Tuesday the annual commemoration of that most useful foundation, the Radcliffe Infirm ary , was ce l e b rated at the Uni versity church, when he usual choir service was performed in a manner highly creditable to the organist, and Gentlemen composing it. The day of the celebration happening on that of St. Peter's, afforded a treat to the lovers of sacred song ; and we have heard from more than one auditor the peculiar gratifi. cation they felt not only from the performance of that beautiful anthem of Kent's, " When the Son of Man," so aptly selected for this occasion, but from the sublime Nicene Creed of Mr. King ; music which even Oxonians (though in the midst of' Choirs) seldom have opportunity of hearing, being performed' only at an early hour on Sundays and Holydsys ; that divine verse, " And he was crucified," was felt by all. There could not, we believe, have been selected a composition of' the kind whose chords could have had greater effect in drawing away 'the soul from all worldly thoughts, and leading us to n contem plation of the awful place in which we stood, and the purpose for which we were assembled. The sermon was preached by the Very Rev, the Dean of Christ Church-: it was neat, plain, clear, excellent—so well suited to the occasion, that we could wish all our readers had been his auditors, especially as it concerned those towards whom we hope all, of whatever sect or party, are ac tuated with unanimous sentiments 8;4 feelings ofbenevolence— the indigent and distressed. sick. There is not a time in which the eye of God beams down more kindly on his frail creation than when he sees them with unaffected piety employed in dis intend acts of kindness and charity. It is on such occasions as the one we are speaking of, that this thought reigns upper most in our minds. It was not a little. heightened too by the affecting appeal of the Preacher: he took his text from John 13--" A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another." We gladly give up a part of our columns to a few observations of the Reverend Dean. He told us, it was not a new commanthnent to us : the example anti constant instruc tions of our Lord plainly and unequivocally tell us what it is to love our neighbour. It was a new one. to The Jews, whose hatred to every sect not their own contituted almost a part of their law. After explaining his text, he pointed out in a man ner clear to the meanest understanding the duty we owe to each other—the love we ought to sho w man t o man , f ront t h e ex . press commands of God. He owned they were observation. common and trite; but that it did not f o ll ow &bet - were equally and commonly considered and felt. In order to make us feel them, he appealed to the inward satisfaction that must arise in our hearts by assisting a distressed brother : the share we ought to take on ourselves in alleviating the miseries of our fellow-creatures (should nothing else prevail), from the con. sideration of the liability of a eh* in our own, or in the condition of some of tboaa-most d' 'to us ; impressing ale° niFon us the everlasting reward pro SW by our Saviour him self, " Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. E n t er y e into the joy of your Lord." ' He animadverted to the ex cellent regulations of the establishment--the kindness and attention bestowed on the unfortunate, individually--of the supply of their spiritual as well as bodily wants._ Be pointed out the universal benefit arising from an establishment of this nature, from the additional skill which those of the medical profession must necessarily acquire, when. such diverse cases are brought together for their inspection and care, contrasting the difference there would have been in this useful and necessary profession had no such establishments been set on foot. The subscription received at the doors amounted to 611. Os: gd. Comparing this with former subscrips tions, we arc compelled to express our sorrow that our citizens and friends in the country do not open their purses more libe rally for its support. We should consider the difference be tween an establishment of this kind and that of one where the body conducting it may receive' emoluMents for care and attention bestowed. But when we consider it is an Infirmary we are speaking of, fro m w hi c h ourselves, (not to our friends, or our neighbours, may one d ay b e un d er the necessity of receiving surgical aid men tion the universal love we ought to cherish towards the unfortunate and needy sick), and that instead of any- emolument, the very body of Gentlemen conducting it not only bestow their labour and attention cheerfully, willingly, and gratuitously in its regulations; but also handsomely assist with their purses in its maintenance—we cannot, we say, but express our sorrow that the burden is thrown on so very few. The endowment without such kind assistance would not suffice. The savage and barbarian will comfort his afflicted brother in life, and when dead, each, as he passes, by, will pile one stone on the heap that others have placed to his memory, till it becomes a lasting monu ment. We know such monuments are unavailing. We can gain, however, one lesson from it—we learn pit y to our fellow creatures. We, however, have a pile, a build. ing that Wants additional, that requires annual, increase and support. Every stone will add to a building, every lump mite will give its peculiar assist. anwilcle.addTtiolearemaoreunhtuatinfe,wevry that cii WEI not afford their mite; and while they bestow it, they have the consolation of knowing they are lending a hand to the lame and afflicted—that they are " pouring in oil and wine" into the sores of the wounded— that they are restoring a husband or child to a wife or a parent ; and this noble satisfaction, that they are gaining the favour of .. aft ebt . ti both God and man. On Wednesday morning the 'Vice-Chancellor, accompanied by the. Heads of llouses, the young Nobility of the University, &c., proceeded in their dress-robes Print, .Pembroke College to the business of convocation had been cellor the honorary degree of D.C.L., b tr y e, th w e l v ien ic „ e was conferred on the follorin in / sAmt,craen, presented by Joseph Phihlimore, Esq., D.C.L., and Regius Professor of Civil o tl; en d e i d ea Law : The Hon.

We did not see the venerable face of our public orator, Mr. Crowe, of New College, and were sorry upon inquiry to find that he was too unwell to make his appearance. Mr. Hare, of New College, supplied his place in the recital of the usual oration. On Wednesday last, the day of the public commemoration of benefactors to the University, the Alaster and Fellows of Pembroke College Celebrated the Commencement of the 3d cen tury from the endowment of the College, by a sumptuous enter tainment in the Hall, to which such of the present and former Members of the College were invited, as from their local situation, could be expected to attend. Precisely at hull= past five the company sat down to dinner, all the tables being tilled. After the toast to the pious memory of the first founders of Pembroke College, an appropriate Latip oration was deli vered by Mr. Echnund Goodenough Bayley, the Senior Foun der's.kin Scholar on the Tesdale foundation. The evening was spent in the greatest hilatitymnid the pleasing recollections of past intimacies, and with lively and reiterated demonstrations of that reciprocal esteem and attachment which, in a it ell-tegu lated society, will ever exist between the governors and the governed. The Ball in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening was not so numerously attended as was expected. This is the more to be regretted, on account of the vast profusion of refreshments provided by Mrs. Dupuis for the occasion, and which did honour to her superior taste and liberality—we have no doubt she must be a considerable loser by it. This day the following Degrees were conferred : DOCTOR IN CIVIL. LAW. Rev. John Worthington Fea, incorporated of Magdalen Hall, from Trinity, College, Dublin. . lIACHELOI2 IN DIVINITY. Rev.

CAMBRIDGE, THURSDAY EVENING.—The town has been gradually filling this evening, so that the promenades have ex hibited an unusual degree of animation. Notwithstanding the ' arrival of Ow instrumental performers, who will form a very select orchestra, led by Spagnoletti, there has been no rehearsal at present. It is rumoured that his lloyal Highness the Chan cellor will. be prevented from attending by indisposition ; and it is equally regretted that his Grace the Duke of Wellington is to be absent from the same cause. Lord Hardwicke, the High Steward of the University, is here, and numerous other persons of distinction continue to ar rive.—ln St. Mary's Church Ale preparations are, complete, the orchestra occupying the space in front of the organ. Pro fessor Clarke Whitfield takes that instrument as Conductor. Workmen 'have been actively employed in the Senate House this evening, so that the arrangements for the Concert to-mor row night must be in a state of considerable forwardness, if they are not finished.---The afternoon service at St John's Cha pel was attended by several strangers. Its effect altogether was truly magnificent. The beams of a cloudless sun streamed through the western window, falling upon the marble pave ment, and covering with their many hues the florid ornament so profusely lavished upon the sides of the structure, as though " To guard a title that was rich before— " T o gild refined gold." Then the fretted screen, stretching across the floor, as if for the purpose of shutting out this dazzling glare from the hal lowed precincts of devotion, enveloped the choir in deep and solemn gloom. When the peals of the organ, and the voice of the Minister, and the hymned responses of the choir, ascended to that vaulted roof of incomparable beauty, it became imp_os sible for the mind not to f ee l t h at it was, indeed, in " The House of God." FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2.—This being Commencement Day, an annual Sermon is preached at St. Mary's Church for the benefit of Addenbrooke Hospital, in aid of which a collec tion is made at the doors. In consequence of the influx ofcom pany upon this occasion, the Church was crowded, and we understand that an unusually large sum has been received in donations. The service was impressively performed, and Kent's beautiful anthem was well sung : the first treble voice was one of remarkable sweetness, and cul tivated in the best school of church singing. A powerful Sermon was preached by the Rev. H enry Go df rey, D . D., President of Queen's College, from the 6th chapter of Saint Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, and the 2d verse:—" Bear ye one another's burthens ; and so fulfil the law of Christ." FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—After the service, there was a re hearsal of the grand miscellaneous Concert, to be performed this evening at the Senate-house.

The principal singers and dancers of the Opera House axe generously coming forward to aid the Benefit of Airs. BLAND. The Proprietors of that Establishment have taken the former services of that once charming, but now un fortunate, syren into consideration, and given their permission for this powerful addition to the entertainment of the night, which, with the many privileges granted by the Managers of Drury-lane, Covent-garden, Haymarket, &c. &c. and the anxi ous desire of every theatrical person of merit and celebrity to yield their share of talent, will enable the Committee of Gentle. men who conduct the Benefit, to send forth as brilliant and attractive a bill as has appeared for many years. The Duke of Bedford has, in the kindest manner, whin• teered the use of his Box, for the Benefit of poor Mrs. Bland, on Monday next, and accompanier it by a very liberal dona tion ; the Thteltess of Northumberland has sent five guineas; General Phipps, ten pounds; Mrs. Coutts has been so good us to give ten pounds ; the , Vauxhall Gardens, fire giuneas; Shakspeare Reid, Es . q. five'guineas; R. W. Ellisnan, - Esq. ten pounds ; the Proprietor of the English Opera Ilouse, ten guineas; A. Copeland, Esq. five guineas; an old friend, ten p o unds ; George Robins, Esq. ten guine a < Indeed, we are persuaded, it ix only necessary to make the ac quainted with her, miserable state, both as to mental infirmity a nd pecuniary 'want; to insure a corresponding subscription. Mathews has, in the kindest manner, voluateered to play on Monday for Mrs. Bland's Benefit. public thomughly Macready has inclosed five guineas to Mr. Robins in aid of poor Mrs. Bland's Subscription, and a kind letter, express. ing his regret that, being 20 miles from London, he is unable to mode' his gratuitous exertions on the benefit night. TII,E cpAL,TKADE. . . . We .extract the follo.wing from a. Newcastle Paper of Tuesday last It has become our duty to record one of the most important alters. tions in the Coal Trade of ; this District .we have_ ever - had occasion to notice . The combination. which has long, e xisted .amongst the Proprieton. of.the Collerios on the Tyne and Wear,. wain.. the last few days, has ceased. It has beettlbe. practice.with these gentlemen to enter yearly into engagements to restrict the quantity of Coals sold every month by each Colliery. The period. had now arrived for renewing this arrangement,. but it was found that mrmuch.difference of °pi• nion prevailed, some of the Coal-owners were so . much dissatisfied with the limited portion es, signed them to vend, that they could come to no agreement, and therefore the Association was dissolved. It has long been matter of surprize to us how' such a combination should have eilat , ed so long as it has done, consideriag:tbe op posing interests of the different persons by whom. it was formed. As the market is materiallyre• gulated..by the supply, the effect of their restric tion has been to keep up the price of Coals, aa as nearly to equal the rate at which they were sold during the height of the war, though every other description of British produce has suffered a depreciation of from 20 to 50 per cent. It ap• pears probable therefore that the London consumer, in addition to the reduction of 3s. 4d. per chaldron, will experience a further reduction here, in price, since it will . now be the interest of each Colliery to sell as many coals, as it can, and the competiw tion will have a natural tendency to lower the price. Indeed, we hope soon to hear of some of the wealthy.proprietors certifying the best New castle Coals at 265. instead of 32s.,per chaldron, as at present. There is no measure,- perhaps, better calculated than thus throwing open the trade, to advance the prosperity of the town of Newcastle, by increasing her traffic of every dew scription, both at home and abroad." CASE OF MR.' O'CALLAGHAN. Mr. ALLEN, ,the Magistrate, having seen in the Newspapers of Sattinlay last an account of a case under the head of Mansion House," in which the Lord Mayor was represent ed as having made some observations which Mr. Allen thought demanded an explanation, he addressed a letter to his Lord ship, requesting to know whether the objectionable words had been used.—Mr. Allen conceived that the words attributed to his Lordship, and which related to the sentence upon Mr. O'Callaghan, directly affected his own character, in common with these of the Surrey Magistrates who presided at the trial at the Sessions House at ,Newuneton. The Lord Mayor replied, that any words stating that he threw the slightest imputation upon the Mindstrates werelneere rect ; that the case which he had been hearing was .one of an aggravated assault upon a female, and drew from Mtn a comparison between the punishment which Mr. O'Callaghan was undergoing for having shown a desire to protect ladies, and the indulgence with which the fellow before him (the Lord Mayor) was treated by a female, Whom the defendant had so grossly assaulted. His Lordship added, tthat there was, at the time the case alluded to was going forward, a good deal of bustle and confusion in the Justice Room—a circumstance that might account for some inaccuracy. This statement fully satisfied Mr. Allen, who afterwards waited upon die Lord Mayor, and stated to his Lordship, what had been given in evidence upon the trial of Mr. O'Callaghan, according to the notes of Lord Eastnor, which notes had been submitted to the Secretary of State, and had determined that Gentleman not to interfere for the remission of the sentence..— The following is Mr. Allen's abstract of the case, as it was taken down anti repeated to the Jury Mr. Saurin, and a young man of singularly good manners, whose name did not immediately occur to him, were returning to town from Deptford on the 29th of April last, from the Dis, covery ships at Greenwich, on horseback. I Ypon the Deptford road, a c h ar i ot with pest-horses passed them ; Mrs. Boyle, Mrs. Thelwall, her daughter, and another Lady were in the chariot ; Mr. Boyle and Mr. O'Callaghan' were in the back seat. In the course of going the same road, the Gentlemen on horseback passed or were passed by the carriage' two or three times. Mrs. Thelwall, Mrs. Boyle, and Mr. Boyle - severally swore that Mr. Saurin and his companion looked impertinently anthem; but not one of them said that either of the young men smiled, spoke, or made any gesture whatever. towards them. Mr. Saurin and his companion were paseing or passed by the carriage a second or third time (111 r. Allen , did not et. actly recollect which), when Mr. O'Callaghan called out to Mr. Saurin that he was a scoundrel, or words to that e ff ect , and desired Mr. Saurin to come to him. Mr. Saurin and his friend, however, as they stated, not wishing to hold any inter. course with a person of such extraordinary appearance and man ner as Mr. O'Callaghan, did that which all other men of sense would have done under similar circumstances—rode away. It, however, unfortunately happened, th a t whil e t h ey were pay i ng the toll the carriage came up, and with out t h e l east d e l ay or re monstrance Mr. O'Callaghan leaped from behind, might hold of the bridle of Mr. Saurin's ho rse , snatched a stick from his band and began to beat him violently, using at the acme thus the most opprobrious language towards him and demanding his card. Mr. Saurin not wishing to be kntiivn 'as a clergyman, as he was (although accidentally) embroiled in a quarrel, toe the Word Reverend from his card, w hi c h he immediately handed to his assailant. Mr. Thclwall, who was in another carriage, had by this time joined Mr. O'Callaglien.—lie im. mediately remarked that Mr. Saurin had not address, and advised Mr. O'Calitighan to insist upon ita r v e i s ot ac t: Mr. Saurin then took out his pencil, and wrote his ,ant4l(l br ought given the profi l er curately. On the following day Mr. O'Callaghan ", ~ tioa which ok. and was held to bail. On the crosts.exani a la uitted that if lib place, Mr. Saurin, with some reluctance , 'i to meet Mr. o'o.l - had thought it incumbent upon hi r to, shelter himself to Union Hall Of fi ce, where he behaved with touch vastenes, laghan, he should not have tbought proper . ate _ in de. under his black coat. This admiss ion _e. 'the the part of Air. saurin, a clergy fence to be an admission stated w the defence, that it would be tares; and it was also the blood of his fellow.ere a . guilty o f the grossest perjury-- roved that he boil be e n man, that lie was ready being the came, no attempt what ho far, however, from this to prove the charge, an d 1% no person could have spew ever WAR made forbearance or propriety than Ir. Saurin manifest ed through the whale trial. One ma seemed to have rind it was a fact in direct opposition been totally forgt?tten, _ upono sh e d Lich impute d to him a sanguinary disposition.. to that wi When the Jury recommended M . F.; O.'Callaghan to a merciftil consideration of the Court, Mr. .Saurin added his reconuneo. dation. The curiosity of men might very easily be attracted tee the inside pamen gers of a carriage, on the outside of which sat a person of so extraordinary a figure as Mr. O'Callaghan, whose face was covered with hair. Mrs. Thelwall's appearance was-. a lso attractive, but for very different reasons, as it was ditain finished for elegance and grace., and fornied a striking contrast to that of the gentlemen. Ther e was no ev i dence to prove that Mr. O'Callaghan was in the Spanish service, and he was most. certainly not in the English service. The recommendation of the Jury wee most certainly attended - to 'by the Bench, who were not to be responsible for the prison regulations, •which were made under an Act, undoubtedly a severe one, as far as it related to convictions, anti one which required a speedy al. teration in that respect. 111 r. ALLE N expressed a wish that this statement should be made to the public, in order to remove the effect of the cen sure (which he considered to be most unjust) passed upon the Smtr* . ey Magistrates upon the trial and sentence of Mr. O'er,. laghan.
