SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT—ADDRESS TO THE ELECTORS—FELLOW COUNTRYMEN—Par liament will be dissolved next week ; probably on Tuesday. The people look to you, the Electors of Eng land, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, as their last hope, to rescue them from mis-governmont or revolution. You are no longer a few necessitous voters, members of close and corrupt Corporations, slaves of men who profited by misgovernment, but constitute the great body of the industrious classes, deeply interested in the welfare of the country. Most of you have for the first time been enfranchised by the Reform Acts, which gave to you substantially the power of returning to the House of Commons the real representatives of the nation, through whom alone an adequate protection can be afforded to property and the rights of industry. You elect the mem bers of a Reformed House of Commons, and on you rests the awful responsibility, at this eventful period, of se lecting candidates and returning representatives able and willing to promote the great cause of civil and religious liberty, not only in this country, but through out the whole civilized world. The British Constitu tion consists of three estates—King, Lords and Com mons. The Sovereign is an hereditary Monarch. He enjoys three great privileges—the choice of Ministers —the prerogative of dissolving Parliament—a veto on all acts of the Legislature. The Commons' House of Parliament—the representatives of the people—have the sole power of voting and appropriating the sup plies, or the proceeds of the taxes. No Ministers, no " party," however favoured by the King, can long go vern if the majority of the Commons disapprove of their principles and policy, or address the Crown for their dismissal. You therefore possess, aid ought ever to enjoy, the real power of control ling the prerogative of the Sovereign, and of pro nouncing a negative on the choice of Ministers. An unexampled, an unjustifiable exercise of the Royal Prerogative has occurred within the last few weeks. *hat are the circumstances under which it has taken place? For a century past, till the year 1832, this great nation was practically robbed of its constitutional and distinctive character of a Repre sentative Government. By a series of political usur pations and various corruptions the majority of the Members of the House of Commons was nominated by Peers, by self-elected Corporators, and by a few wealthy Commoners. Their votes in the Legislative Assembly were notoriously purchased by the plunder of the State, dealt out to them by the hands of the Ministers of the Crown. The Upper House of Par liament was doubled in numbers by successive creations of Peers, almost exclusively from the ranks of the Tories. The natural consequence was a century of mis government—foreign Wars to promote slavery abroad and to supply the means of corruption at home—the the creation of an enormous public debt—the subject ing the lands and property of our country to a grievous burden of poor-rates—the consequent moral and phy sical degradation of a large proportion of the humbler classes of the people—and the scandalous maintenance of numerous abuses in Church and State. The old electors in the memorable election of 1831, and the people by their gigantic and patriotic exertions in 1832—effected a moral revolution—relieved them selves from the incubus of the " Borough Sys tem," and with the aid of a Whig Ministry achieved the great national victory of Parliamentary Reform. The amendment of the representation was opposed by the Tories, as destructive of their in fluence in the State. The moral determination, how ever, of the People finally triumphed. The Peers gave way ; and on you, the new Electors of the Empire, now devolves the sacred charge of choosing a second Reformed House of Commons. The Ministry of Lord Grey, in conjunction with the first Reformed Parlia ment, accomplished many useful reforms in the poli tical and social system. More would have been pro posed and obtained but for the political prejudices and opposition of the Tory Peers. Lord Melbourne suc ceeded Lord Grey, and with the assent of the King further liberalized the Administration. Unexpectedly, without any avowed cause, the Sovereign withdrew his confidence from the late Premier and his untried Ca binet. His Majesty substituted Sir Robert Peel in the place of Lord Melbourne. The new Prime Minister has selected for his coadjutors in office an exclusive class of Ultra Tories. Can such bigoted and illi beral Men adopt a liberal policy, or propose good Measures Y If they mean to reform abuses in Church and State, Why do they dissolve the Parlia ment P Electors ! They dissolve Parliament because they hope that you will be cajoled into the choice of a majority of Mock-Reformers or Tories I Will you thus degrade yourselves and revolutionize your country? Will you thus practically repeal the Reform Acts, and incur the scorn and hatred of the people ? What is your interest, what your duty to your country, at this constitutional crisis ? Your common-sense will dic tate the answer. Elect no Tory. Oppose every Tory. Send up to Parliament men who will refuse their confidence to the present evil Councillors of the King. The Peel Ministry is imposed on the nation for the purpose of impeding the progress of Reform. Union is strength. Reformers of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, be united—be determined— contest every County, City, and Borough in the empire I Terminate all local dissensions I Concen trate your electoral strength I Abandon all impostors and doubtful men ! If you follow this advice, you must secure a majority of sound Reformers in the Commons ; if you neglect it, farewell to the Liberties of Great Britain, and to the tranquillity of Ireland ! —Morning Chronicle. The atrocious malignity of the Destruction faction is only equalled by its boundless stupidity. The morn ing organ of the miserables having exhausted every topic of abuse with which falsehood and malignity had supplied it, preferred yesterday a grave charge against the Administration of Sir Robert Peel—a charge based upon an unfortunate tithe affray at Rathcormack, in which certain persons lost their lives. To us, as to every one possessing the common feelings of humanity the suffering, and much more the violent death, of our fellow citizens must always be a painful and distressing topic ; but what we think or say of that party spirit which induces those who act or speak under its influ ence to endeavour to fix upon innocent individuals the imputation of being directly or indirectly instru mental in producing such suffering or loss of life ? We might, indeed, retort the attack upon those whose sentiments our contemporary is supposed to echo, and observe that the wickedness, the restless and turbulent disposition of the men who advise re sistance, whether active or passive, to the laws, and who, safe within the Corn Exchange or Rotunda, ex cite and encourage their hapless victims without, to deeds of outrage and violence, have produced the cala mitous consequences which we deplore with probably more sincerity than our factious contemporary. The manly address of Sir Robert Peel demonstrates his readiness to entertain the consideration of some more satisfactory mode of collecting the revenues of the Chinch than that which has descended to us from our forefathers ; but until some measure has been enacted by which this end may be attained, the existing laws ought to be and must be enforced. Let the public, then, be no more insulted by the attempt to propagate ca lumnies so utterly absurd and malignant upon this sub ject, in the idle hope that they may pass unnoticed, and thus in the absence of contradiction, be for a time be lieved. Our Radical contemporaries have now com pletely revealed the spirit and the purposes of the fac tion to which they belong. The institution of pro perty must, according to them, be an abuse which Qught forthwith to be abolished, because this institu tion affords temptations to the commission of felony, and felony is sometimes followed by the punishment of the persecuted perpetrators. Law and the execution of law are intolerable grievances, the suppression of which is necessary to the public peace and welfare. Any Act of the Legislature which any portion of the community chooses to resist by violence or elude by fraud, loses, in virtue of that simple fact, its whole validity, legal and moral, and the magistrats or other servant of the State that dares attempt to enforce it becomes a cri minal who deserves to be hunted out of society. This i the y doctrine which the organs of the late Adminis -aliibOur :to instil into the minds of the people of liritait this the salutary principle for the ad 'filch the present Administration is, if overthrown. One satisfactory infe 'ba deduced from the columns of our A.,, / G reat .untain ; ti tit 6. ( / vaneemenb of wh . i. possible, to be ( n \felsce may indeed - ;\-c, 4 '...)v, , , a9.10,110z THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1834. Radical contemporaries,—that they have no real or substantial ground of complaint, that desperate misre presentation is their stable commodity, and that they have traded in that worthless article until they arc bankrupts equally in topics and in re p u t a ti on . Th e Administration of Sir Robert Peel is proof against such puny attacks ; supported by internal worth and external confidence ; strong in the integrity, the talent, and the harmony of its component parts ; its friends, the friends of order and good government ; its ene mies, a miserable band, leagued for the combined pur pose of attaining their own selfish ends and of destroy ing institutions the excellence of which they have not the faculty to appreciate.—Morning Post. Though we may regret the failure of Sir Robert Peel's attempt to infuse into his Administration those outward elements of reform which would have given increased confidence and satisfaction to the country, we are not on that account at all inclined to despair of the measures of the new Ministry being in the end any the less gratifying to the country. Of course, what the new Premier could have originated o r perfected with Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham as his colleagues, he is quite as capable of bringing about without them. But of all the doctrines which have ever been palmed upon the country, that now so vehemently insisted upon by the advocates of the ousted Whigs appears to be the most preposterous. That doctrine amounts to this ---that the Ministers who have passed the Reform Act are entitled to an unlimited and perpetual possession of the Government. This absurd proposition has been amply refuted by Sir Robert Peel, both in his address to the electors of Tamworth, and in his speech at the Guildhall dinner. It is, perhaps, like breaking a fly upon a wheel to bestow any further comment upon so wild a proposition. If any further refutation of it were wanting, it is furnished by the very persons themselves on whose behalf it is put forward. Has not the very Ministry, for which this perpetuity in office is claimed, fallen to pieces of itself ? Was not Lord Grey, at once its head, and the steady consistent fa ther of reform, driven from the helm of public affairs by the basest intrigues among some of his own asso ciates in the Cabinet ? Had not the Duke of Rich mond, Lord Stanley, and Sir James Graham previ ously withdrawn in disgust from their association ? Was not Mr. Ellice on the eve of retiring ? Had not Lord Althorp been withdrawn by his father's death from the office, his tenure of which had been held in dispensable ? And could Lord Brougham, under any circumstances, have continued to hold office which had ceased to be in his hands, one of respect or con fidence ? Thus diminished, self-condemned, and torn to pieces by its own acts, what prospect was there of its re maining rump holding together, or, if holding toge ther, being capable of carrying on the Government ? Its dissolution, then, being inevitable, it is rather too much to talk of its perpetual right to office. Such conduct on the part of the Whigs and their adherents, if made available, would realize a very close analogy to the fable of the dog in the manger—they could neither carry on the government themselves, nor permit the King to resort to others for the purpose. The good sense of the country will, we trust, in spite of every attempt at excitement, repudiate this attempt. That the true spirit of reform should be up and stirring, and should be enforced upon the Ministers, as well as all candidates at the ensuing election, we are far from condemning. But we do condemn all attempts to sub stitute clamour in the place of fair deliberate judgment. We condemn any attempt to prejudge men of whose measures the country has as yet neither knowledge nor foretaste ; and, above all, we condemn any attempt to bolster up and recall to the head of affairs men whose acknowledged imbecility has so recently displaced them. Formerly, " when the brains were out the man would die ;" but here are the Whigs, not contented to have knocked out their own brains by successive assaults against a wall of their own erecting, still wishing to substitute their headless trunk—a body without a soul, as a sufficient and available instrument of carrying on the government.—Morning Herald. We have suffered a day or two to elapse without offering any precise opinion upon the dreadful tragedy which has been enacted at Rathcormack, ii?the county of Cork. It was our wish to have all the facts before us in an authentic shape, that there might be the less questionable matter as to the immediate causes of this frightful calamity, and as to the legal relations in which the parties respectively stood. We have employed the phrase of " immediate " causes, and that of " legal" relations, knowing well that the great and general cause of the present and much former bloodshed in Ireland is one for which neither peasants nor soldiers are responsible ; that it is the existence of the tithe system, of which the pressure has been intolerably aggravated by the concurrent necessity of paying a rack-rent to the landlord, and the hatred of which in the minds of the people has been in flamed by the most systematic and unprincipled agitation, whose object ever was to excite that out rageous violence, whereof in words it disavowed and condemned the use ; and to drive the peasantry with headlong fury to a lawless vindication of whatever their deceitful guides persuaded them was " justice." On this occasion it appears that there were 12 or 13 men slain upon the spot, and perhaps a greater num ber wounded. For the present we shall suppose what the first accounts described to be the fact, but of which no report has yet been forwarded to this coun try : the proceedings of the Coroner's inquest being but in an early stage, we shall, however, take for granted that the people were in the wrong, and made an attack upon the soldiery, who merely attended the distraint for tithe to protect the civil officer in his duty. But we must ask whether on that hypothesis, which there is every ieason to think may be the true one, whether that law ought to be left upon the sta tute book, which, without looking further into it, hundreds of the lower order of people in Ireland, in day light, deliberately, where it is the case of a neighbour,—where there is no instantaneous process against themselves or their habitations,—when they are unarmed, in the presence of a regular and powerful force, will rather risk and lose their lives than tamely suffer to be executed ? We ask, whether such a law, so detested by a whole country, ought to be left upon the statute book ? Every humane and prudent person must answer in the negative. In truth, Parliament has already answered in the negative ; and if the Clergy of the Established Church in Ireland—nay, in Eng land, too—could be canvassed, sure we are that 19 out of 20 would bow down in thankfulness to see the tithe commuted. What may be the case as between land lord and tenant, it is impossible for us to predict ; but all collision between clergyman and occupying tenant must be put an end to, or the catastrophe of Rath cormack will have its parellel in every village of the three Southern provinces. The mischief, how ever, of this deplorable eneounter does not stop here. To what a diabolical purpose has O'Con nell already turned it. Stanch blood-hound as he is, without his unslaked appetite for the overthrow of everything like law or peace in Ireland, the people would have waited for the near opproach of those mea sures by which the tithe system will be ere many months superseded, and would have discharged the tithe due for the interval without a serious murmur. Hear his words in addiessing his lacky Parliament at the Royal Fxchange of Dublin : he accuses Sir Ro bert Peel of saying that " such horrors (as the Rath cormack slaughter) shall continue for ever." Where has Robert Peel used or countenanced any threat so insane ? It is a monstrous and unblushing falsehood. Has Sir Robert Peel ever so much as hinted that there shall be no commutation of tithe ? Yet O'Con nell proceeds, as if it were a truth recorded or self evi dent, to declaim upon this iniquitous calumny, and to apostrophize the man who may raise his voice on behalf of such a Government (qu. a Government so maligned and slandered ?)—" a Government which would abandon his country to the curse of tithes and of bloodshed to enforce them for ever, as a heartless wretch, lost to all sense of shame, and of humanity." Why, it is true, if any Government were what he has wickedly and falsely accused the present Government of being, no man with the faculty of feel ing or thinking could raise a voice or hand in its de fence. But he is as bad a man, and as contemptible, who belies a Government for the sake of rousing against it a spirit of desperate insurrectioP 7 and of de nouncing as " tithe-traitors," or as " abettors of 1 tithe-murder"—that is, as proper subjects to be put to death themselves by every peasant who felt tithe to I be a grievance --all constituents who should at the en suing election be rash enough to give a vote for any except O'Connell candidates. If he mean civil war, let him have the pluck to say so. Let him lay aside his hypocrisy, and while he spurs the passions of the wretched multitude to rebellion, charging them to the muzzle with combustibles which he knows must explode—let him not meanly and cringingly beseech those whom he has thus driven to madness, that they will commit "no breach of the law"—" Oh I I entreat you never violate the law." I know that " you are brutally and villainously plundered ; that some of your priests and some of your liberators have wrung the last farthing from almost every man among you ; that the laws have been made by your atrocious tyrants to torture you, their abject slaves ; that you have nothing worth living for ; that life is a burden to you ; that death would be a blessed release to people so bar barously oppressed and trampled on : therefore—there fore—pray do nothing for which you can be hanged or shot. Oblige me by understanding that you ought to be rebels, and that the first wish of my heart is to make you rebels, but that I don't like to suffer the pains of rebellion, either for you or with you." Such, in plain English, if words and actions are to be con strued by each other—such is the policy, at once trea sonable and treacherous, of this true son of &hal. But we are misinformed if he have not already begun to quake. A single fortnight will do something to wards the further development of an impostor, who mingles more of the sordid, the sanguinary, and the pusillanimous than any agitator of ancient or modern times.—Times. THE MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN. Yesterday an application was made to the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house under the following:circumstances : It is fresh in the recollection of the public, that on Tuesday last, the party opposed to the Conservatives as sembled in great multitudes in Bishopsgate-street ; that the crowds continued to pour into and out of the London and the City of London Taverns ; and that a vast deal of con fusion took place within the walls, particularly of the latter, where those who supported the present Administration had appointed to assemble, and those who were opposed to it, gathered together at an early hour for the purpose of car rying any resolutions which might be proposed in an amended form. The confusion and botheration were not confined to the rooms and passages of the buildings. The overflow of the taverns crowded Bishopsgate-street, and the pathway before the London Tavern was completely obstructed. At the time when the bustle appeared to be very great, some men paraded the street bearing large boards, with placards upon them, inviting the friends of reform to assemble ; and the Lord Mayor, having been given to understand that such boards were exhibited, or dered the City Marshal not to permit any thing of the kind. In obedience to this direction, Mr. Brown, the principal Marshal, desired the persons who carried the boards to move them away from the neighbourhood, and the order having been disobeyed, immediately proceeded to seize them. The excitement at this period was very great. Some gentlemen of the Corporation interposed, and deoied the right of the Marshal to take possession of the boards. Mr. Brown said that he acted under the orders of the Chief Magistrate, and could not help adopting the course he pursued. Application was, we understand, afterwards made to Mr. Alderman Wood, who expressed surprise at the issue of an order from the Mansion-House to such an effect, declared it to be in every respect unwarrantable, and calculated to lead to instead of preventing breaches of the peace, and said that he had never heard of a similar pro ceeding upon the part of a Chief Magistrate of the city of London. The boards were forcibly taken and deposited is the station-house, and were applied for by those tradesmen from whom they had been hired next day. M'Lean, the inspector of the district, however, did not consider himself warranted in giving them up, and referred the applicants to the Lord Mayor. Yesterday a person from Mr. Crouch, the owner of three of the boards, told the Lord Mayor that he called upon his Lordship to request that the boards might be given up. The LORD MAYOR-Why do you ask me to give them up ? Applicant—Why, my Lord, because they are private property. They belong to Mr. Crouch. The LORD MAYOR—And because they are private pro perty you think you are at liberty to create a public nuis ance with them? Do you suppose that I, as Chief Magis trate, will allow you to presume to come into the city of London, to excite a riot and confusion in the streets ? .If you do, I assure you that you were never more mistaken in your life. Applicant—My Lord, they are the property of Mr. Crouch, in whose name I come to demand them. The LORD MAYOR—I tell you that they were the cause of an excessive nuisance, and I consider that it is great presumption in you to ask now for them. Applicant—l don't see that there is any presumption at all in my asking for the property of the right owner, who has desired me to wait upon your Lordship, to ask for his own. The LORD MAYOR-It is great presumption in you to come into a Court of Justice upon such an occasion, and you ought he ashamed to do so. Applicant—l am not ashamed, my Lord. I don't see why an honest man should be ashamed to make a fair de mand in a Court of Justice, or elsewhere. The LORD MAYOR—I certainly shall not give the boards up. You exhibited them in defiance of my orders, and com mitted a great public nuisance by the exhibition. _ _ The fora) MAYOR then asked Mr. Brown whether his orders, which extended to every sort of placarded board, were strictly attended to ? The Marshal applied in the affirmative. He had di rected the officers to prevent the exhibition of all placarded boards, not excepting even those which related to the de parture and arrival of coaches. It was necessary to do so, for the prevention of every embarrassing impediments. Passers-by were obliged to walk in the middle of the street. The LORD MAYOR—And after you seized these boards you found that the pathway was quickly cleared ? The Marshal—ln less than a quarter of an hour there was not the slightest impediment in the street, and no repe tition of the nuisance took place. In my attempts to obey your Lordship's direction I was struck twice, but we took no person into custody. The Loan MAYOR stated that he should have no objec tion at all to receive a visit from the gentlemen of the Cor poration who disputed his power to issue directions tending to preserve the peace of the city. Whatever might be their opinion, he should act to the best:of his judgment, without consulting them, particularly in that part of his business, with which they had nothing on earth to do. TRIAL OF PIRATES. The accounts from Boston, which reach to the 28th ult., bring advices of the termination of the important trial of the pirates there, after the Jury had been occupied in the inquiry no less than fifteen days, It had excited the great est interest in the United States. The following is a brief' summary of the trial : Thirteen of the prisoners were originally committed for trial, but one destroyed himself in prison. Twelve were, therefore placed at the bar of the Circuit Court of Boston on the 11th ult., charged with having committed an act of piracy on the brig Mexican, of Salem. This vessel, owned by one of the merchants of that place, sailed from that port with a valuable cargo of 20,000 dollars in specie, under Captain Butman, for Rio Janeiro. On arriving at 33. N. lat., 34. 30. W. long., she fell in with a suspicious -looking vessel, from which she made unsuccessfully many attempts to escape. This strange vessel having come up with the Mexican, fired a gun, and Captain Butman, seeing that she was armed with one long gun, and two small ones, and that her decks were crowded with men, was obliged to heave to. He was then ordered on board the strange vessel, to which he went in his own boat, but on reaching her, five men jumped into it, and ordered it to be rowed back. On arri ving on board the Mexican, they directed the Captain to accompany them into the cabin, where, brandishing their knives threatening and striking him, they compelled him to acknowledge and give up the money in his possession. A launch was then sent for from the pirate, which carried away the treasure. The pirates on board the Mexican then drove the crew down the forecastle, and commenced breaking the compasses and destroying the rigging and tackle. They also set fire to the caboose, in which they placed a tub of combustibles, and lowered the mainsail in such a way that it would speedily ignite. Shortly afterwards, however, Captain Butman contrived to get on deck, and extinguish the fire ; and when the damage had been repaired the vessel returned to Salem. Information of the piracy was immediately disseminated to various parts, and reached the coast of Africa, where Captain Trotter, commanding the British brig-of-war Curlew, was then cruising. F rom cir cumstances that reached Captain Trotter he was led to believe that the schooner Panda, then lying in the River Nazareth, was the vessel by which the Mexican had been plundered. He immediately proceeded . to take measures against her, and the result was her capture, but the escape for the time of the crew. No ship's papers or logbook were found on boud a her, though diligently sought for, and owing to some accident she shortly 44Pr4'4i.ds blew up, killing several of the Curlew's men. Captain Trotter then sailed to other parts in pursuit of the pirate crew, and at length succeeded in arresting six of them at Fernando Po, Atari the 411/009r of the prisoners at Cape Lopez. Capt. Trotter brought them to ligglapfl, and theßritish Govern ment sent them ever to Boston, to be tried by can authorities, who admitted one of them named Parez as evidence. The prisoners when placed at the bar were all neatly and •cleanly dressed in the usual garb of sailors. Among them were three of four men of colour (Peruvians) and one negro. The Captain of the Panda (Gibert) and the mate (Bernardo de Soto) were both very fine-looking men. The Spanish Consul was in attendance, and took notes during the whole of the trial. The pirate witness, Jose Perez, being sworn, stated that he was a native of Marguerita and twenty-two years of age. He entered on board the Panda at Havannah about two years and nine months before. Captain Gibert commanded. Bernardo de Soto was mate, and the other prisoners formed part of the crew, which were thirty men in all. They fell in with the Mexican on the 20th of September. The Cap tain ordered the Panda to go about and stand for her. He then described the pursuit of the brig until they came up with her. A sailor on the forecastle of the Panda then fired a musket, and, the schooner being hailed, the Captain was ordered to come on board, and he did come alongside, with four men, in his boat. The third mate, boatsman, and carpenter, and ore sailor got into the Mexican's boat and went on board her. This third mate ran away at Naza reth, the boatswain died at Fernando Po a prisoner, and Delgarda, the sailor who destroyed himself in Boston Gaol. The third mate, on arriving on board, took the speaking trumpet and announced to the Captain of the Panda— " There is on board what you wish, what you are looking for ; she carries 20,000 dollars as put down in the paper of the vessel ; the money is in ten boxes, containing 2,000 dol lars each." The boatswain held up a handful of dollars and showed them to the Captain, and afterwards threw them into the sea. The Captain then directed the treasure should come on board. The witness pointed out Ruiz, the car penter, as one of the men on board. (The prisoner here violently abused the witness.) The witness then described how the crew were driven down the forecastle and the money conveyed on board the Panda. He was on the foretop of the brig to look out. He saw the crew confined below, and was afterwards told that a fire had been made with the intention of suffocating them. The pirate's men then returned to their ship, taking with them the brig's boat, which they scuttled. The witness here gave an account of the different places at which the Panda touched; until she reached the Nazareth, where they purchased slaves. The schooner went to Prince's Island, from which she returned soon after in great haste, and was seen ashore at Cape Lopez. The Captain told the boatswain at Nazareth he had been obliged to fly in consequence of the affair of the Mexican being known there. The Captain remained at Nazareth four months, at the expiration of which the Eng lish came up the river in boats. As soon as they were seen the carpenter, Ruiz, went into the cabin of the Panda, took up the after scuttle, and put a match to a keg of gun powder. The crew then went on shore, and the carpenter followed afterwards in a canoe with the ship's papers. The English took the schooner off with them to sea, but re turned in fifteen days, and their commander came on shore, and demanded of the African King that at least the car penter and mate, with the Captain, should be given up. This being refused, the English began to fire upon the town from the pivot gun of the Panda, during which the schooner took fire. The English went away in three days. After this the money taken from the Mexican was found on the beach, and subsequently removed to Cape Lopez and divided, the Captain having 5,0001., and the crew 6,0001., being all found remaining. Witness surrendered at Fernando Po, and others were taken there and sent to As cension, and from thence to England. They were brought to the United States in the English brig-of-war Savage. (During this evidence a violent altercation took place be tween the witness and several of the prisoners.) Witness understood two other vessels had been robbed besides the Mexican, and they had boarded an English corvette eight days after leaving Havannah. The second witness was Mr. G. H. Quentin, the British officer who first boarded the Panda, who stated the capture as already detailed. He stated that the Panda was not fired at, but a shot or two were fired at the men leaving her in a canoe. There were about twenty-five men on board the Panda when she was blown up. Two officers, named Johnson and Percy, as well as the gunner, a marine, and a boy, were killed by the explosion. Simon Domingo, a Portuguese, who surrendered at Na zareth to Captain Trotter, stated he first went on board the Panda at Prince's Island. The prisoners were part of the crew. He had heard the prisoners confess to the English that they had plundered the Mexican. He corro borated the previous witnesses. Anastacius Silvera gave evidence as to the prisoners being part of the crew. Various other evidence was adduced, all tending to the same effect. The paper containing the instructions of the owners of the Panda to Captain Gibert was then put in, and was a curious document. They contained the fullest directions for the safe keeping and lainling of the slaves he was sent out to traffic in, and authorised him to deviate from his regular course as he saw fit. Secrecy and the utmost pre caution were enjoined on his return to Havannah, and he was recommended, if he failed to effect a landing at several places named, to sail at once into Mantanzas, hoist French colours, and say, if hailed, that he had come in ballast from St. Thomas. The case for the Government closed with the reading of these papers. The prisoners then proceeded to call their witnesses, among whom were persons connected with the African trade, who stated it to be customary to carry specie. Evi dence was adduced in favour of Bernardo de Soto. On the 26th ult. the trial finally terminated, after fifteen days' continuance, when the jury returned a verdict against seven of them, viz., Pedro Gibert, captain ; Bernardo de Soto, the mate ; Francesco Ruiz, the carpenter ; M. Boyga, J. B. de Castro, A. Garcia, and Manoel Castello ; and ac quitted the five others, N. Costa, a boy ; A. Farriar, a black ; J. Velasquez, A. Portano, and D. de Guzman. They, however, strongly recommended de Soto, the mate, to mercy, on the ground of his noble conduct in saving the lives of more than 70 human beings, forming the crew and passengers of the ship Minerva. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John L nnard , a desperate-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. ROGERS in the custody of police con stable 158 E, charged by Joseph Gibbon, Esq., son to Sir John Gibbon, Bart., the Magistrate, with having been con cerned in a most outrageous attack upon him, and threaten ing his life. Mr. Gibbon being sworn, stated that on Friday after noon, the 19th instant, he was walking along the end of Oxford-street, near St. Giles's, alone, when he was sur rounded by about twenty characters of the worst and lowest description, when a cry was raised of " this is the ;" on which he received a violent blow on his side which knocked him down, and he was maltreated by the party. On recovering himself he saw the prisoner, who said, " I have got a knife, I'll do for him ;" on which he made a rush at him. Finding himself in danger of his life, he contended with the whole of the ruffians, and forced his way through them, but not without considerable difficulty and ill-usage, and he retreated in the direction of High street, and was pursued by the prisoner and his companions until he arrived near a cheesemonger's shop ; when the per sons therein seeing the danger to which he was exposed rushed out, and seizing hold of him, dragged him into the shop, and rendered him every protection until his assailants dispersed, and he subsequently quitted the place, and gave information to the police, with a description of the prisoner and some of the gang ; and he, with the assistance orliW ness, was apprehended. Mr. ROGERS asked Mr. Gibbon whether, in consequence of the prisoner's conduct, he went in danger of his life ? Mr. Gibbon—l certainly do ; this is the second time he has attacked me ; and I have no doubt but I should have been murdered had I not escaped into the shop of the cheesemonger. When the prisoner said, " I'll do for him," he also said that I had transported two of their friends. It appeared that some months ago Mr. Gibbon was pas sing through Holborn, when he observed a gang of pick pockets following a gentleman, and attempting to rob him. He interfered, and assisted the police to apprehend the thieves, and they were taken to the station-house, where they were recognised as being old offenders, and ultimately they were tried at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to be transported. On several occasions since, Mr. Gibbon, who was pointed out as the cause of their " misfortune," and b was whose sattacked to the gang , h as b een wa t c h e d n public streets, when h e h as received injuries in resisting their dast ar dly a tt ac k s , H e a e pe person ys. them vell knowninthe ie has prosecuted several of the ruffians at this and other po lice offices, and the parties have been ordered to find bail. Mr. ROGERS asked Mr. Gibbon if he had any witnesses? —Mr. Gibbon said that he had not, but the persons at the cheesemonger's would willingly come forward. Mr. RonEas inquired of the prisoner what he had to say? The prisoner said that he did not threaten to do for the prosecutor, and denied having attacked him with a knife, as lie had not got one. The fact was, that the prosecutor was always following him, and he had threated him if he persisted in doing so he would knock him on the head. Mr. ROGERS thought it most infamous and cowardly Penduai end ordered tho prisoner to find good bail, for the production of which he was locked up.

In his defence be said a gentleman, whom he drove in his cab from Vauxhall-road to Hyde Park-corner, gave it to him is mistake for a oglirß., •• A policeman, who attenda tho absence of the gentle- man, said there was no mistake. The sovereign was given to him, and the moment he received it he jumped into his cab and drove away. He was remanded until the attendance of the gentleman, and Mr. Conant observed, it was no wonder if accidents from cabs happened so frequently when such boys were em ployed to drive them.

BULWER'S NEW RomANcE.—lllustrating all the varieties of human character that his former works have illustrated. " The Last Days of Pompeii' combines these with greater completeness in one effect. It is in its essence a drama. The vortex, as it were, of one interest draws every passion in the book into itself. There are many actors, but only one action. There are many motives and Many powers, but to one purpose all are moulded. In its construction as a work of art, in its general keeping, its trouble, and its repose, it is the most masterly production that we have read for years. We question, indeed, whether in this respect it h as ever been equalled. Rembrandt never flung light and shade into one great effect with a pencil more true and fatal. When we use the term art, we mean, of course, that which in its highest form realizes nature ; for the natural, as we said at first, is the great charm of the book. It opens with a startling air of reality."—Examiner. JUDICIOUS APPOINTMENT.—SO the Marquis of Londonderry is to be appointed A m b assa d or to the C ourt of St. Petersburg I This speaks a volume of the prudence and wisdarn of the Wellington government. Should any circum stance arise of an intricate or important character between this country and the restless and intriguing Court of Russia, we shall then indeed haVO an Ambassador capable of combating w ith and surmounting all difficulties. The Pozzi di Borgos, the Metternichs, and all other diplomatists, will be astonished with this appointment ; but let us hope that it will not create jealousy and alarm among the suspicious powers of the Conti nent. At Vienna, when Ambassador— The freaks of the Marquis will ne'er be forgot By those who were there, aye, and those who were not, IRELAND.-DUBLIN, DEC. 23. GREAT PROTESTANT MEETING IN ENNISKILLEN. Yesterday (Monday) one of the most important meetings that has lately taken place in Ireland was held in Ennis killen, for the purpose of:addressing his Majesty in support of the exercise of his prerogative in calling to his council men in whom he could confide. The numbers assembled were more than treble those which met at Dungannon on Friday. At least 18,000 men were congregated around the platform erected in the area in front of the county gaol. The nobility, magistrates, clergy, and gentry of this fine county were present almost to a man, but it was the array and en thusiasm of the truly fine and independent peasantry that rendered the scene so striking. They came marching in bands from all parts of the county with music playing, Orange banners streaming, and ribands fluttering. Thou sands were decorated with scarfs and medals, with mary golds and chrysanthemums in their hats for want of Orange lilies, which the greater part continued to wear and display contrary to the wish and express request of many of their leaders. They are not a people accustomed to bow with servility to the dictation even of their friends, and they maintained their stubborn character on the present occasion in full force, for after the meeting had terminated (and the address of course adopted with the most marked unanimity and enthusiasm), they marched through the town as they entered, with flags flying and drums and fifes playing as merrily as before. The inhabitants of the town shared strongly in the prevalent feeling of the day, for arches were erected at the entrance and near the bridge, decorated with Orange insignia, &c. The High Sheriff, T. W. Barton, Esq., took the chair in the Court-house, and subsequently adjourned to the platform, around which the immense crowd expected the speakers. Lord Cole moved the first resolu tion, and regretted the absence of his father, whom nothing but severe indisposition would have prevented from attend ing. The Earl of Belmore appeared at the head of his tenantry. Sir A. H. Brooke, D.L., Lord Cole, Hon. A. Cole, M.P., Hon. John Cole, Viscount Corry Lord Adam Loftus, Lord Augustus Loftus, Lieutenant-Cdlonel Barton, &c., appeared on the platform, and took part in the pro ceedings. The most remarkable characteristic of this meet ing was the truly determined style in which the Orange men gave effect to the cheers which frequently greeted the sentiments of the speakers ; 'twas hurra and a pistol-shot as a climax. The platform broke down at one period, but this did not interrupt the proceedings. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD. The highest price of Bread in the Metropolis is Sd. for the 41b. Loaf.
