At nine o'clock the LORD CHILI , BARON, Mr. Baron GARRoW, and Mr. Jus tice RICHARDSON, came into the Court. The Jury baying ewered the box, their names were called aver, and the prisoner, John Thomas Brunt, was put Co the Bar ; he appeared perfectly .collected, and bad the use ot a chair.—ltuthven then produced the arms, ammunition, and the combustibles, as before described. This witness Was followed by Taunton, Westcote, Ellis, and other Officers, who were severally examined by Air. Gurotevi.—There were no other witnesses on the pair of the 'Crown, and the ATTORNEY - GENERAL declared, this was the whole case for the Prosecution.—Mr. Cuawoon ;addressed the Jury Ot t behalf of the pi sower at considerable knells, insisting that the case now before them differed materially from any of the others. The Learned Counsel called one witness, who was however not examined. Mr. Ano Lpit us , on the same side, implored die Jury to give this case their earnest consideration, and Concluded an eloquent srech by calling on them to acc t tit the prisoner.—A Juryman made some obserratiou respecting parts of the evidence.— The 1,,,, RD C HI up 13siantg said, that had not escaped Lis iti-olioo ; and there (Val another point he should etudeavOur to clear up. He then acl dr►ssu d the prisoner as follows ;—" John Thomas Brunt, your Counsel has addressed two able rpeecl.es to the Court and Jut y in your be halt ; if you huve any thing to offer, the Gentle men will be glad to give it every attention."— hisoner—" My Lo'rd, have just had a de fence putt into toy hand, but have not perused it ; - I shall, bout-ever, advert to some circumstances connected us ith this case."—lle theft proceeded to account tor his conduct fur some years past, ar raigoing the behaviour of the several wit besses that had been brought against him.— lie went on for nearly half an hour, expressing himsclt with great firmness and animation ; during which time the utmost silence pervaded the Court. The greatest 'attention was given to the address of the 111001tunate man.--The SOLICItOR-GENERAL TOSe to reply, and was proceeding when our Paper ' was put to:press. IFURTIIRR PAIITICULAIIS OF _YESTERDAy'S rno- CREDINGs.] SnmioN proccuded to call over the names of the Jury two in attendance. The first intMe called, and to which there %vas no etrAffibge on ;he' part of the prisoner or the Court, was Mr. ititx,uit-r 13aiciaj , . Mr. 13.4c1a1t stated, that as he had been on the Jury by which Thistlepod h d hern tried, he hoped he might be ex eu ,u 6 on, the im!sent occasion. %.:cituroo'n s%t ,id, that it was because.he was on the for flier Jury, be'ttislied.hie► to he on the present, as lie would Lie enabled to see the dilferenee of evidence. T SOLICITOR-GKNEHAL•said he had no oNection. Mr. liarclay.waa then sworn, .arld 1..,e was. Foreman of this as 3.vt-,11 as the former Jury. The following Gentlemen were thrt also sworn : " • Thomas Gootlehild, Esq. North Eud, Hendon, cm the for- 1/)er Jury. Thomas Suffield Aldersey, Esq.

John Woodward, ditto. When each of the Jury iii his turn was desired to look upon the prisoner, and the oath was aNinistered to him, the pri soner steadily fixcil his eyes on his face, anti at the conclusion gave an emphatic nod. The remaining Jurymen in attendance were informed that they must again attend on Wednesday morning. The challenges on the part of the Crown were thilty three; on the part of_the Prisoner, thirty-five. CONTEMPT OF THE oEDrui OF THE COURT IN PUBLISHING THE THIALS OF THISTLEWOOD AND INGS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose at the conclusion or the ,reading of the indictment, and, addrrssing the Cow t, ;poke as follows:—" My Lords, I think it my duty to bring before lour Lordships a circumstance which has occurred since our last meeting under thitt Comini!sbtn. It is, I am sure, within Your Lordship!' recollection, that before these trials cow lltteueed the Court desired that nothing which occurred, tither in part or in the whole of any one trial, should be published, until the whole of the tria's were t:ruainatea. ' The Court stated ins the reason of this prohibition, - that it was intended to prevent any thing gain;; forth which alight have a tendency to prejudice any of the parties on • trial, or any person liable to be called on their Jury, in a case -• 'where men were on trial for their lives. With that:injunc tion I think it right to state the whole of the daily press, fray say, must properly complied. But yesterday, in a paper called The Observer, which I hold in my liand, the whole of the Trial of Arthur Thistlewood is published, and a short ac count of the Trial that followed of fogs. This has been done 'too by the publisher with a full knowledge of your Lordships' prohibitory injunction, for he actually publishe's i it fell from the Cuurt un that occasith) in the very.paper in which lie has violated your Lordships' order. It is not my inter:- tun to interrupt the proceedings of the.trials.at the present tiactalvut by -submitting . any motion on this must darihg and contemi•t of the ottkr af this Court ; bat, m}' Lort'•s, I Mink I owe it to the dignify of this Court, as welt as to the situation wliich 1 L,ld, not to suffer the . publication ,if these proceedings to past unnoticed. , Indoubtedly, some proceed ing will be'taken, why:: the :ocans are furnished for bringing the matter forwarii iu a proper shape, and when the mode of proce:eding . shall be cletermiiit-d upon." Neither of the Judges made any remark on what fell from the Attorney-General. The latter, as soon as he made his observations, .replaced The Wlservcr Newspaper, which he held in his hand, in his bag with other papers. Mr. BoLLAND sliortly,operied the indictment against the prisoner. The _tT/01INEY-GCNEIIAL then stated the case with his wonted dearness, going over the whole of the facts detailed in the evidence in the former trial. Brunt entreated permission to bare - the occasional indtil_ gence of a cliair, which the Court granted without hesitation. The.ATTWINEY-(il:NtlltAL rose, about half-pat. 10, and ad dreissed the Jury till a quarter before 19. The speech consisted of a request that the Jurors would dismiss Ilium their minds all knowledge (.1 - the subject from any other quarter, and con fine their attention exclusively to the evi:lenee, and to a nar rative of the facts and circumstances to be detailed by the witnesses. 'Wien Adams was now called, and examined by the Sou- CITOR-GENERAL—Iiii evidence, with some little additions, was in substance the same as that given on the two former trials. In detailing some particular observations which he said fell froon the prisouvr, Brunt rose hastily from his seat, and said—" My Lord, can the witness look into my face, and into the faces of those Gentlement(pointing to the Jury,) and say that I have said so ?" Adams (turning towards the prisoner, and laying his hand on his breast)—l -can declare it with a safe and 'clear con- science. Brunt. —Then you are a bigger villain than ever I thought you to be. The COURT interfered to prcrent any further conversation between the parties. This witness wtc cross-ermined at some length by Mr. Cu ItwooD. The other witnesses examined were Eleanor Walker, Mary Rogers, Joseph Hale, Thomas Sharp, Charles Bisset, Henry Milan), Edward Simpson, J. H. Morrison, James Aldons, John Monument. After him, Thomas Monument was the next witness examined. His evidence corroborated that of his brother, John Monument, who was afterwards recalled, and examined as to certain facts. The next witness was Thomas Hyden, who repeated the evidence which ha had given on former trials. He was closely cross-examined by Mr. Curwood. After his examination had closed, he evinced a disposition to stay in Court, on which the prisoner Blunt observed, " My Lord, the witness stays in Court." Wilson, another of the prisoners, then ruse, and said, with great indignation, " My Lord, let that perjured villain he corned out of Court." Mr. Hyden immediately withdrew from Court. The Earl of Harrowlry was then cal!ed, and repeated his former evidence. John Baker, the butler to the Earl of liarrowby, corrobo rated his Lordship's evidence. Richard Mundy and George Caylock pro'ved the presence of the prisoner in Cato-street on the evening un which the plot was discovered. George Itutliven, James Ellis,Thomas Westectt, and others belonging to the Police-office in ilow•street, were then exa mined as to the seizure of the gang in Cato4street. Fitzelarence repeated the evidence %%Welt he had given on the former trials. Mr. GURNEY then stated to the Court, that the case fur the pro,ec;ttion•w•as closed, except sti fit as related to the exami nation, of the arms, ammunition, &c., wh:ch had been seized lit Cato-street, or on tbe premises or the Conspirators. As it wou ld b e mo st prudent to examine them by day-light, be hoped that tae Court would. adjourn their examination uittil the morrow—(this day.) The Loan Cult? 11.1aos acquiesced in the proposition, and L;joorned the Court. During the whole of the day Brunt was engaged in taking notes of what oecurrel ; so also were two of the uther pri soners=Harrison and Wilson. T E ARMY.

His conc.cuoinn of the part 'was evidently just, and: he alternations ofouger, self-reproach, and tenderness, were well expressed.
