Baron Parke, happily'still spared to us, "had a reason which the Lord Chief Justice did not know for watching you narrowly, and he will remember ray saying to him, when you sat down, ' Brothsr Tindal, did you observe how carefully Phillips abstained fere n giving any personal opinion in the case?' To this the Learned Chief Justice instantly assented." This is my answer to the second charge. Thirdly an d l as tl y, I am accused of having endeavoured to cast upon the female servants theguilt which Iknew was attributable to Courvoisier. You will observe, of course, that the gravamen of this consists in my having done so after the confession. The answer to this is obvious. Courvoisier did not confess till Friday ; the cross examination took place the day before, and so far, therefore, the accusation is disposed of. But it may be said I did so in my address to the jury. Before refuting this, let me observe upon the disheartening circumstances under which that address was deli vered. At the close of the, to we, most wretched day on which the confession was made, the prisoner sent me this astounding message by his solicitor—" Tell Mr. Phillips, my counsel, that I consider he has my life in his hands." My answer was, that as he must be present himself, he would have an opportunity of seeing whether I deserted him or not. I was to speak on the next morning. But what a night preceded it ! E: vered and horror-stricken, I could find no repose. If I slumbered for a moment, the murderer's form arose before me, scaring sleep away, now muttering his awful crime, and now shrieking to me to save his life! I did try to save it. I did everything to save it except that which is imputed to me, but that I did not, and I will prove it. I have since pondered much upon this subject, and I am satisfied that my original impression was erroneous. I had no right to throw up my brief, and turn traitor to the wretch, wretch though he was, who had confided in me. The counsel for a prisoner has no option. The moment he accepts his brief, every faculty he possesses becomes his client's property. It is an implied contract between him and the man who trusts him. Out of the profession this may be a moot point ; but it was asserted and acted on by two illustrious advocates of our own day, even to the con fronting of a King, and, to the regal honour be it spoken, these dauntless men were afterwards promoted to the highest dignities. You will ask me here whether I contend on this principle for the right of ( doing that of which I am accused, namely, castiog the guilt upon the innocent? I do no such thing; and I deny the imputation altogether. You will still bear in mind what I have said before, that I scarcely could have dared to do so under the eye of Baron Parke and in the presence of Mr. Clarkson. To act so, I must have been insane. But to set this matter at rest I have referred to my address in the Times—a journal the fidelity of whose reports was never questioned. You will be amazed to hear that I not only did not do that of which I am accused, but that I did the very reverse. Fearing that, nervous and unstrung as I was, I might do any injustice in :he course of a lengthened speech, by even an ambiguous expression, I find these words reported in the Times :—" Mr. Phillips said the prosecutors were bound to prove the guilt of the prisoner, not by inference, by reasoning, by such subtle and refined ingenuity as had been used, but by downright, clear, open, palpable demonstration. How did they seek to do this ? What said Mr. Adolphus and his witness, Sarah Alacer ? And here he would beg the jury not to suppose for a moment, in the course of the narrative with which he must trouble them, that he meant to cast the crime upon either of the female servants. It was not at all necessary to his case to do so. It was neither his interest, his duty, nor his policy to do so. God forbid that any breath of his should send tainted into the world persons depending for their subsistence on their character." Surely this ought to be sufficient. I cannot allude, however, to this giant of the press, whose might can make or unmake a reputation, without gratefully acknowledging that it never lent its great circulation to these libels. It hail too much justice. The Morning Chronicle, the Morning. HeraM, and the Morning Post, the only journals to which I have access, fully corroborate the Times, if, indeed, such a journal needed corroboration. I'he Chronicle runs thus :—" In the first place, says my friend Mr. Adolphus, and says his witness Sarah Macer—and here I beg to do an act of justice, and to assure you that Ido not, fur a moment mean to sug gest in the whole course of my narrative that this crime may have been committed by the female ser vants of the deceased nobleman." The .3.Torning Post runs thus :—" Mr. Adolphus called a witness, Sarah Macer. But let me do myself justice, and others justice, by now stating, that in the whole course of the narrative with which I must trouble you, I beg you would not suppose that I am in the least degree seek ing to cast the crime upon any of the witnesses. God forbid that any breath of mine should send persons depending on the public for subsistence into the world with a tainted character." I find the Morning Herald reporting me as follows :—" Mr. Adolphus cafled a witness named Sarah Macer. But let me do myself justice and others justice by now stating that in the whole course of the narrative with which I must trouble you I must beg that you will not suppose that I am in the least degree seeking to cast blame upon any of the witnesses." Can any dis claimer be more complete ? And yet, in the face of this, for nine successive years has this most unscrupu lous of slanderers reiterated his charge. Not quite three weeks ago he recurs to it in these terms : " How much worse was the attempt of Mr. Phillips to throw the suspicion of the murder of Lord IVilliarrt Russell on the innocent female servants, in order to procure the acquittal of his client Courvoisier, of whose guilt he was cognizant ?" I have read with care the whole report in the Times of that three hours' speech, and I do not find a passage to give this charge countenance. But surely, surely, in the agi tated state in which I was, had even an ambiguous expression droned from me, the above broad dis claimer would have been its tfficieet antidote. Such is my answer to the last charge; and, come what will, it shall be my final answer. N o envenomed reiteration, no popul a r d e l us i on, no importunity of friendship, shall ever draw from we another syllable. I shall remain in future, as I have been heretotore, auditor tantum. You know well how strenuously and how repeatedly you pressed me to my vindication, especially after Lord Dentnan's important conversation with you, and you know the stern disdain with which I dissented. The men; conscia recti, a thorough contempt for my traducer, the belief that truth would in the end prevail, and a self-humiliation at stooping to a defence, amply sustained me amid the almost national outcry whicn calumny had created. Relying doubtless upon this, month after month, for nine successive years, my accuser has iterated and reiterated his libels in terms so gross, so vulgar, and so disgraceful, that my most valued ffiends thought it my duty to them publicly to refute them. To that consideration, and that alone, I have yielded; in deference to theirs relinquishing my own opinions. If they suppose, however, that slander, because answered, will be silenced, they will find themselves mistaken. " Destroy the web of sophistry—in vain— The creature's at his dirty work again." No, no, my dear friend, invention is a libeller's exhaustless capital, and refutation but supplies the food on which he lives. He may, however, pursue his vocation undisturbed by me. His libels and my answer are now before the world, and I leave them to the judgment of all honourable men. C. PHILLIPS. WARD OF FARRINGDON-WlTHlN.—Yesterday a wardmote, which was numerously attended, was held at the gaeen's Arms Tavern, Newgate-street, " for the choice of a Common Councilman for the ward, in the room of Mr. T. Pearson Hayward (deceased), late one of the deputies of the ward." Alderman Thomas Kelly (alderman of the ward) having taken the chair, said that since the annual election an Act had passed the Legisla ture, which he thought a great improvement upon the former practice of electing Common Councilmen, as the election was now limited to one day. A great inconve nience was suffered by the continuance of the election for three days, which caused a very great hindrance to business. The Alderman then directed the precept of the Lord Mayor to he read, which having been done, Mr. Warwick proposed Mr. Thomas APGreger, who was foreman of the inquest of the ward; and Mr. Welch seconded the nomination. Mr. Edward Knight proposed Mr. Christopher Phillips, whose nomination was seconded by Mr. Emery. A show of hands was taken, when the choice was declared to be in favour of Mr. Phillips ; upon which a poll was demanded for Mr. M'Gregor. Ald,rman Kelly stated that, by the recent Act of Par liament, the election must take place on the following d a y, between ten and four o'clock. He should therefore attend to-morrow (this day) to take the votes of the friends of the candidates. The wardmote was then ad journed to this day. PUBLIC THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIGION.—On Sunday a pastoral from Bishop Wiseman was read in all the Roman Catholic churches of the metropolis, ordering a solemn thanksgiving to be performed next Sunday in acknowledgment of God's mercy in relieving the kingdom from the awful scourge of cholera, which propitious event will be celebrated by high mass and a solemn Te Deum in every place of Roman Catholic worship. The Bishop's pastoral especially enjoins works of mercy, such as feeding tee poor, clothing the naked, and contributing towards the support of several public charities, as the most Christian mode of acknowledging Heaven's mercy. LAUNCH or THE PitoroNTls.—A fine screw steam ship, built of iron, by Messrs. Mare and Co., Blackwell, from a design by Mr. T. Waterman, jun., was launched into Bow creek at 3 39,P.M., yesterday. The Propontis will be the third constructed for the General Screw Shipping Company, and of the same class as their two vessels the Bosphorus and Hellespont.

The Rates of Premium are calculated unon Carlisle mortality, and we as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first fire years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of tile assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER.:IIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admissioa or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge *ade for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

There can be no doubt the continued prosperity of this Society has been in a great measure, if not entirely, owing to the equity of the principles on which it is founded, and to the manner in which its affairs have been uniformly conducted. The practical operation of these principles may be judged of from the f let, that the Representatives of original Members—that is those Assured from 1815 to 1819—and whose Policies may become claims in 1852, will, after payment of the Premium applicable to that year, receive 2,0621. 14s. lid. for every 1, 0001., being equal to a Bonus of upwarls of One Hundred and Six per cent. on the Sum Assure I—or more than dou ble the amount of the original k ssurance—the prospective Septennial Bonus (and which is provided for) being, in this instance, at the rate of upwards of Three-and-a-Half per cent. per annum on the original sum Assured.

East India Company, the Principal Deck Com panies, and other public bodies, Sec., Is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre- Fervativc. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old coin" and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slAting. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out do(); purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its ase has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ay it on.

If you are in want of th a t beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemistb,T druggist, or perfumer, an 1 Is. bottle of Grirnstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it Is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Ilerbsry, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, un'er the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7 , . Bd., or 11s., which in cludes the postage with the case. The Ils. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many vittues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you arc 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the seine) ?'l'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Screws, Cataract, Ner►ous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lord of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being preyed by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1325 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Lsq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family, But under this order of Government it is obliged to he stamped.

CHARLES PHILLIPS, Inner Temple, Nov. 14, 1849. My dear Phillips, --It was with pain that I heard yesterday of an accusation having been revived against you in the Examiner newspaper respecting alleged dishonourable and most unconscientious con duct on your part when defending Courvoisier against the charge of having murdered Lord William Rus sell. Considering that you fill a responsible judicial office, and have to leave behind you a name unsullied by any blot or stain, I think you ought to lose no time in offering, as I believe you can truly do, a public and peremptory contradiction to the allega tions in question. The mere circumstance of your having been twice promoted to judicial office by two Lord Chancellors, Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham, since the circulation of the reports to which I am alluding, and after those reports had been called to the attention of at least one of those Noble and Learned Lords, is sufficient evidence of the ground lessness of such reports. Some time ago I was dining with Lord Denman, when I mentioned to him the report in question. His Lordship immediately stated that be had inquired into the matter, and found the charge to be utterly unfounded ; that he had spoken on the subject to Mr. Baron Parke, who had sat on the bench beside Chief Justice Tindal, who tried Courvoisier, and that Baron Parke told him he had, for reasons of his own, most carefully watched every word that you uttered, and assured Lord- Denman that your address was per fectly unexceptionable, and that you made no such statements as were subsequently attributed to you. Lord Denman told me that I was at liberty to mention this fact to any one; and expressed in noble and generous terms his concern at the existence of such serious and unfounded imputations upon your character and honour. Both Lord Denman and Baron Parke are men of as nice a sense of honour and as high a degree of conscientiousness as it is possible to conceive; and I think the testimony of two such distinguished judges ought to be publicly known, to extinguish every kind of suspicion on the subject. I write this letter to you spontaneously, and, hoping that you will forgive the earnestness with which I entreat you to act upon my suggestion, Believe me, ever yours sincerely, SAMUEL WARREN. Mr. Commissioner Phillips. 39, Gordon•square, Nov. 20. My dear Warren,—Your truly kind letter inducts me to break the contemptuous silence with which for nine years I have treated the calumnies to which you allude. lam the mere induced to this by the repre sentations of some valued friends that many honour able minds begin to believe the slander because of its repetition without receiving a contradiction. It is with disgust and disdain, however, that even thus solicited I stoop to notice inventions too abominable, I had hoped, for any honest man to have believed. The conduct of Lord Denman is in every respect characteristic of his noble nature. Too just to condemn without proof, he investigates the facts, and defends the innocent. His deliberate opinion is valuable indeed, because proceeding from one who is invaluable himself. My judicial appointments by the noblemen you mention would have entailed on them a fearful responsibility, had there been any truth in the accusations, of which they must have been cognizant. I had no interest whatever with either of these Chancellors, tave that derived from their knowledge of my character, and their observation of my conduct. It is now five and twenty years ago since Lord Lyndhurst, when I had no friend here, volun • tarily tendered me his favour and his influence, and his kindness to me remains to this day unabated. Of Lord Brougham, my ever warm and devoted friend, I forbear to speak, because words cannot express my affection or my gratitude. His friendship has soothed some of and enhanced every pleasure, and Whil 9 memory lasts will remain the proudest of its recollec tions and the most precious of its pleasures. This is no vainglorious vaunting. The unabated kindness of three of the greatest men who ever adorned the bench ought, in itself; to be a sufficient answer to my tra ducers. Such men as these would scarcely have given their countenance to one who, if what was said of him were true, deserved their condemnation. lam not disposed, however, though I might be well warranted in doing so, to shelter myself under the authority of names, no matter how illustrious. I give to each and ail of these charges a solemn and indignant contradic tion, and I will now proceed to their refutation. The charges are threefold, and I shall discuss them seriatim. First, I am accused of having retained Courvoisier's brief after having heard his confession. It is right that I should relate the manner of that confession, as it has been somewhat misapprehended. Many suppose that it was made to me alone, and made in the prison. I never was in the prison since I was called to the bar, and but once before, being invited to see it by the then sheriffs. So strict is this rule, that the late Mr. Fauntleroy solicited a consul tation there in vain with his other counsel and my self. It was on the second morning of the trial, just before the judges entered, that Courvoisier, standing publicly in front of the dock, solicited an interview with his counsel. My excellent friend and colleague Mr. Clarkson and myself immediately approached him. I beg of you to mark the presence of Mr. Clarkson, as it will become very material presently. Up to this morning I believed very firmly in his in nocence, and so did many others as well as myself. " I have sent for you, gentlemen," said he, " to tell you I committed the murder !" When I could speak, which was not immediately, I said, " Of course, then, you are going to plead guilty ?" No, Sir," was the , reply, " I expect you t o d e f en d me to the utmost. , We returned to our seats. My position at this mo ment was, I believe, without parallel in the annals of the profession. lat once came to the resolution of abandoning the case, and so I told my colleague. He strongly and urgently remonstrated against it, but in vain. At last he suggested our obtaining the opinion of the Learned Judge who was not trying the cause upon what he considered to be the profes sional etiquette under circumstances so embarrassing. In this I very willingly acquiesced. We obtained an interview, and Mr. Baron Parke requested to know distinctly whether the prisoner insisted on my defending him, and on hearing that he did, said I was bound to do so, and to use all fair arguments arising on the evidence. I therefore retained the brief, and I contend for it, that every argument I used was a fair commentary on the evidence, though undoubtedly as strong as I could make them. I believe there is no difference of opinion now in the profession that this course was right. It was not till after eight hours' public exertion before the jury that the pri soner confessed ; and to have abandoned him then I would have been virtually surrendering him to death. This is my answer to the first charge. I am accused, secondly, of having "appealed to Heaven as to my belief in Courvoisier's innocence," after he had made me acquainted with his guilt! A grievous accusation. But it is false as it is fOul, and carries its own refu tation on its face. It is with difficulty I restrain the expression of my indignation; but respect for my station forbids me to characterise this slander as it deserves. It will not bear one moment's analysis. It is an utter impossibility, under the circumstances. What ! appeal to Heaven for its tes timony to a lie, and not expect to be answered by its lightning ? What! make such an appeal, conscious that an honourable colleague sat beside me whose valued friendship I must have for ever forfeited ? But, above all and beyond all, and too monstrous for belief; would I have dared to utter that falsehood in the very presence of the judge to wham, but the day before, I had confided the reality ? There, upon the bench above me, sat that time-honoured man—that upright magistrate, p u r e as hi s erm i n e, "narrow l y watching" every word I said. Had I dared to make an appeal so horrible and so impious—had I dared so to outrage his nature and my own conscience—he would have started from his seat and withered me with a glance. No, Warren, I never made such an anpeal : it is a malignant untruth, and sure lam had the person who coined it but known what had previously occurred, he never would have uttered from his libel mint so very clumsy and self-proclaiming a counterfeit. So far for the verisimilitu'le of this charge. But I will not rest either on improbability, or argument, or even denial. I have a letter and a conclusive answer. The trial terminated on Saturday evening. On Sunday I was shown in a newspaper the passage imputed to me. I took the paper to court on Monday, and, in the alderman's room, before all assembled, after read ing the paragraph aloud, I thus addressed the judges—" I take the very first opportunity which offers, my Lords, of most respectfully inquiring of you whether I ever used any such expression ?" " You Certainly did not, Phillips," was the reply of the late lamented Lord Chief Justice, "and I will be your voucher whenever you choose to call me." 4' And I," FATAL ACCIDENT. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 17.—An inquest was sworn this evening at eight o'clock, at the Jolly Millers public-house, Newnham, before Mr. D. King, coroner for the borough, to inquire into the circumstances touching the death of Mr. 'William Gunning, under graduate of Christ's College, which melancholy event took place this afternoon, on the river. The Vice- Chancellor, Rev. Dr. Cartmell, master of Christ's College, was present during the inquiry. It appeared in evidence that the deceased engaged a boat (an ordinary funny) about half past two o'clock in the afternoon, at a place behind King's Mill, known as Hawes's Island, and proceeded to row up the stream towards Grantchester. Some distance up the river is a chain placed across and locked on either side to prevent trespassing upon the water, the property of the late Colonel Pemberton. The deceased rowed backwards and forwards between this spot and Hawes's Island several times. He reached the last-mentioned place about half-past three, and inquired the time. He was told, and replied that he should have time to go back once more, and still be in the college in time for ball (at four o'clock). He was next seen by some boys on the bank, rowing towards the chain. Their attention, hdwever, was diverted for an instant, and the next they heard a cry for help, and saw the deceased, who was unable to swim, struggling in ten feet of water. The boat, bottom upwards, wa , floating beside him. The boys raised the alarm, and Sheldrick, the gamekeeper, who has the care of the chain, seized some creepers, and arrived in time to see the body sinking. He tried twice or thrice to recover it with the creepers, and then ran the distance of a couple of chains for a boat and a spread. He returned ; and finally, after the lapse of about ten minutes, brought,the body to the surface with a spread, and hauled it into the boat. A medical gentleman (Mr. Adam), who had reached the bank, got into the boat, and used all the usual means to restore ani mation, but life was ,extinct. The Jolly Millers was reached in a quarter of an hour, and all available means were brought into operation, but without effect. The jury returned a verdict of " Drowned by the accidental upset of a boat." There is no doubt but that the deceased, unaware of the con- tiguity of the chain, which was at the dangerous height of about fifteen inches above the water, had rowed the head of the boat over it ; and that the boat thus raised at one end, tilted, and the deceased rising, finally upset it. The unfortunate youth WAS about nineteen years 'of age, and entered as a freshman at Christ's College in October last only. He was a son of the Rev. William Gunning, prebendary of Wells, and vicar of Stowey, near Bath. There was no other boat within 200 yards of the deceased at the time of the fatal occurrence, and it should he stated that Sheldrick is unable to swim, as was the deceased likewise.
