MAIL OF JOHN FRANCIS FOR HIGH TREASON. that he put into the pistol. I understand that it is to be said, and this is the defence, that if you don't prove that a bullet was in the pistol you leave a doubt, and whatever doubt is left unsatisfied the prisoner is entitled to the benefit of it, and must thei efere be acquitted. I deity that to be either law or common sense, and I ant milting to try the proposition, involving as it does in the highest degree the public safety of the kingdom, in any way my friends may think fit to submit it to your good sense, or by any ruling in point of law which theJedgesmay lay down for your direction. The safety of the meanest individual in the country is not to be endangered cr trifled with, much less a life involving in it so much the safety, happiness, and in terests of the people at large. It never can be said that in such cases a life so valuable shall be so insecurely guarded that nothing short of the success of the crime is to make the accusation effective. Where, I would ask—where is the jus tice—where is the humanity or the good sense, of calling upon the imneptuoblsito,w but what loaded a d w e e d re i n the sec r e e o t i . it e s How ca o f th n e I, weaponon the dischar ged public, be called upon to do more than prove the act of firi ng part of a deadly weapon, for which the prisoner at the bar is this d ay to give us some account. If the pistol was not load e d o with destructive materials, the prisoner is bound to show that. Gentlemen, the law of treason makes the intention the crime, and not the overt act. The overt act is but the evidence of the intention. The crime with which the prisoner is charged is not the firing of the pistol, that is the overt act by which the treason is proved. The crime is the in tention to do that mischief which might take away or en danger the life of the Sovereign. If the doctrine which is in tended to be laid down by my Learned Friend is to be consi dered as law, the Queen catmut have the protection which the Act intended to give, for unless the crime is fully per petrated, so as to take away the life of the Sovereign, no accusation could be preferr ed against the person committing it, except that of being guilty of assault, and firing a harmless pistol. I understand, again, that my friends mean to assert that the prisoner had no evil intention in firing the pistol, but that it was done by him out of merriment, or as a salute to her Majesty. If such is to be the defence a more wicked or absurd one I cannot imagine. The question, Gentlemen, you have to determine, faking ail the circumstances together, is this, which is the mist probable, that the act was done in conformity with the intention imputed to the prisoner, not according to the statements and the defence he intends to set up. I believe that twelve gentlemen acting under the impulse of ordinary feeling and plain common sense, governed and directed by the law of the land, could come but to one conclusion, and that conclusion would be that the attempt was made to take sway the file of her Majesty. Can my friend say, or can any person of sense say, that a man has a right to place himself in the most suspicious circumstances, to give to his conduct the air of having committed the most atrocious crime, and then to say alt this was without an intention of doing harm, it was merely a frolic ? if such a doctrine was to be allowed, no man's life would be safe. The public institutions of the country would not be sate, and the Queen would be exposed hourly to ad the perils of treason. I call upon you, gentlemen, in the name of common sense, it, the name of the whole country, to deal with such a defence as it deserves. I know not wherher my friend is prepared to answer this charge, but I say, under the circumstances, it is incumbent on the prisoner to ex ifain his conduct. Should any of the points I have adverted to be brought before you, I trust you will listen to theta with the utmost attention, and a cautious desire to give the prisoner the benefit of any matter he may adduce to your saris action. He will, if there be no such evidence, have all the benefit of my friend's great experience, and no man more capable of doing justice to the cause of the prisoner. I trust that you will remember the importance of the inquiry. not merely to the prisoner at the bar, whose interest I should be sorry to injure, but the importance of this inquiry to every person in the country ; to the first person in the State ; to the institutions of the country, which we value; to the Queen, the head and representative of the Constitution ; to the public peace, the security, the lives and happiness of every member of the community. Gentlemen, I hope that I have not done more than faithfully discharge my duty, and I look with confidence to you not for any particular result, but for a verdict rounded on truth and justice, ba it to acquit or condemn. In coining to the just conclusion, which I doubt not you will ar rive at, I fervently hope that you may be assisted by every light that is calculated to guide you through any labyrinth that may be presented to you on one side or the other, and that the God of truth, and of justice, and of mercy, may direct you to a safe and just conclusion. Re-examined—This pistol is as effectually loaded by the muzzle as in any other way. By the COURT—The muzzle was smutty with powder, as if it had been recently fired. The barrel also was warm. William Trounce, A 63, examined by Mr. R. GURNEY-Ur: May 30 I was on duty on Constitution-hill. I was there about an hour before the Queen returned to the Palace. I observed the prisoner there about half an hour before the Queen re turned. He was about the middle of Constitution-hill. I saw him go behiud a tree. as if to hide himself before the Queen's carriage arrived. lie was about one yard from me when the Queen's carriage came up. As it was passing, I heard the re- Fort of a pistol. I then looked round, and saw the prisoner leaning over a plug, which draws the water, with his right hand slightly depressed, and a little way frora his body. I then seized him. I took the pistol from him. I saw Inspectcr Russell search him. Lavinia Blanchard examined by the SOLICITOR -GENERAL live in Union-place, South Lambeth. I was on Constitu tion-hill about half-past five on May 30th, and waited there to see the Queen. 1 saw the prisoner there. He was standing near a pump. I saw him there about a quarter of an hour be fore the carriage came up, and he was then in earnest conver sation with another young man. I then lost sight of him. I afterwards saw him in custody, and recognised him as one of the two I saw walking up and down. The young ratan who was with him was very like him; I took them for brothers. Wm. Richards examin e d by the Arroas aY- GENERA ' am a journeyman shoemaker, and reside in Newcastle -street, Strand. I work for Mr. Squire, and have worked for him for the last twelve months. I was on Constitution-hill on Monday. May 30. I entered the Park about six in the evening, which was about half-an-hour before the pistol was fired. I walked up and down on the wall side, waiting to see the Queen. As was going up the hill .I saw the prisoner leaning on the pump. I did not hear him say anything. J. Russell examined by Air. RUSSELL URNEY--I am an In spector of Police. I was on duty un Constitution. hill on 30t:, Uay. I met Trounce, the policeman, there, with the prisoner in his custody. He gave me a pistol ; the barrel of it wa warm. I observed the muzzle also, and I should say that, from its appearance, it had recently been discharged. I searcher him at Gardener's-lane, and found on him the small cover of a memorandum-book, one penny, a portion of gunpowder, anc two keys.—( The gunpowder was produced in Court). There is sawn gh to load the pistol one if loaded from the nettzzla. et there are about four charges if the barrel were unscrewed and the pistol loaded in that way. Cross-examined—There was not a quarter of an mince weight of powder._ CENTRAL CRIkINAL COURT. J. Elliotson, M. D. ,F.R. S. ' John . Rawson, Esq. I John Griffith Frith, Esq. John Riddle Stodart, Esq.

And Shen we saw the feeling of mingled scorn and indignation ex taited by every person there against that man standing at the bar, we regretted, though the Court was full, that its limits were ant large enough to admit of more being present, that the pri .onet• anti the world might know that the detestation of his rtrime and him was not confined to a few, but was general, nay, universal throughout the whole country.

I showed him two. The one produced is one of those two; he offered me 3s. for it, which I agreed to take. Hs paid me with three fourpeney pieces, a sixpence, and the re maiuder in copper.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as sured—a result, it is relieved, far more favourable to the as sured than any other Company ha= hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are taken into consideration.

There were four other overt acts charged in the indictment, for discharging, firing off, and shooticg a pistol, as in the four firmer overt Jets, and alieging that he thereby and therewith rgitorou.ly and maliciously made a direct attempt against the person of our said Lady, the Queen, whereby the life of the paid Lady, the Queen, was in danger.

The pistol produced is the same as I then saw. I also observed to him that the pistol was a ver 3 oat one, and had no trigger, when he showed me • that by putting the pistol upon full cock, the trigger came out. / co not recollect that anything else passed.

The part of Ariane is, no doubt, eminently fitted for the dis play of this great tragedian's powers.

He was loudly applauded. Lord Edward Somerset and suite arrived in Lon don yesterday morning, from Antwerp, by the British ship Wilberforce The pa,sage occul ied 01.17 eighteen hours. - A inarrive between the Prince de Carini, first secretary to the Neapolitan Ambassador, with Mlle. Lamblin, a young and beautiful French lady, was celeb' ated on Saturday, at the chapel of the Embassy—the Pope's t.nncio giving the nuptial benediction. A splendid dejeuner was given on the occasion by his Excellency the Duke de Serra Capriola, after which the bride and bridegroom set off for the country. • The indictment having been again read, the question '• Are you guilty, or not guilty ? " was put to the prisoner, when he replied in a low but distinct tone, " Not guilty." The Jury was then empanelled, and having been sworn, The ArroitN Er-GENERAL ruse to address them on the part of the Crown. He said—May it please your Lordships, gentle men of the Jury, it is my painful duty on the present (steads's ' to state to you the circumstances under which the prisoner at the bar stands charged with the crime of high treason. A more important insestigation could not be submitted to von. The crime which the prisoner is charged is the highest known to the law of this country ; and I believe in every civilised community the crime of high treason is eensidered as being at the head of all other offences—that it is more atrocious in its nature than any other crime, on account of the extensive mischief and misery it may entail en the community if the attempt to commit it is attended with success. Gentlemen, the accusation of high treason is founded upon an ancient statute, by which an attempt upon the life of he Sovereign constitutes the offence of high treason, even in intention. This trial takes place under a more recent statute by the provisions of which, when the overt act is a direct at tempt u p on the person of the Sovereign, the trial is directed to take place accer,iing to the ordinary forms when a subject is similarly attacked. Gentlemen, the deep and important in terests involved in this question induces me to call upon you to pct form on this occasion a firm, a faithful, but a fearless dis charge of the duty cast upon me- I desire that you may forget every circumstance that may have been impressed on your minds or caned to your attention before entering that box. 1 request of you to learn the law from the Judgeapresent ; to take the facts from the witnesses who will depose to them; to listen to the arguments presented to you on the other side; to exer rise your own unbiassed judgment upon the circumstances of the case, and ultimately faithful'' , to discharge the great duty cast upon you ; to - 0 j ustice between the public and the prisoner at the bar, whether that justice he to acquit or to find guilty. Gentlemen, the deep in terest that a question like this involves, induces me to ask at your hands a calm, dispassionate, impartial, and deliberate review of all the circumstances, and I must also ask you, on the other hand, to arm yourselves with that fearless manliness necessary to discharge the duty cast upon you. If in your judgment the Person at the bar be innocent, so find him by your verdict; but if in your judgment he be guilty, shrink not front the manly performance of your duty, but pro nounce a verdict against him carefully. Gentlemen, avoid any prejedices that may operate against him, but as carefully for the public interest guard against, any weakness in his favour. Gen tlemen, on Akenday, the 30 t h o f May last, about t h e h our o f six in the evening, as her Majesty was returning from her accustomed ride to her Palace, midway between the entrance to the Palace and Constitution-hill, a loaded pistol was dis charged towards the carriage in which the Queen was sit ting ; according to the evidence of several witnesses, a dili berate aim was taken at her Majesty, and the pistol was dis chargedat the Queen. The iodividual who discharged that pistol was, beyond all Could, the prisoner at the bar. I do not collect from anything that has transpaa d, that there is to be the slightest plea in defence on the ground of insanity. I collect from all that has passed before this moment, and all around me at this moment, that it is to be admitted that the prisoner is, and was, at the time of committing the act, in the full possession of his reason. As I understand, no de fence is to be set up that he was not accnuntaVe for all his acts, that he had not the means of knowing the consequences of what he was doing, but that• ho was a sane person, is re sponsible to the country and to justice for the deliberate act of which he has been guilty. The solemn inquiry you are called upon to enter into —and a more solemn or se rious or.e cannot be propounded—is what was the character of the act, and what is the construction to be put upon his conduct in committing that act, which, beyond the possibility o" denial or doubt, the prisoner is proved to have committed by a multitude of witnesses. Gen tlemen, in the first place, the weapon he used on this oc casion was in its nature deadly and destructive. It was un sionbtedly charged with some material of mischief. It was aimed at the pet son of the Queen, a spot was selected that would place the person as near as possible within reach of her Majesty's person, and, unlike what occurred on former occasions, a spot was selected, net opposite to the wall, but from the wall, and the pistol was discharged towards the open space on the other side of the road. The prisoner placed himself in a situation as not likely to be interrupted by bystanders ; and, above all, it must be recollected that this was not the first time the prisoner had attempted to do the mischief, which he seemed determined to effect, for, Gentlemen, on the day before, as her Majesty was returning from the Chapel Royal to Buckingham Palace, a person was observed to point a pistol to the royal carriage. It was nor fired—what was the cause of that 1 cannot say. It might be that the persona surrounding prevented him from having the confidence then to discharge the pistol, or it might be from sentiments operating upon his own mind; be that as it may, the action was observed, and subsequently it turned out beyond a doubt that the prisoner at the bar was the offender. Gentlemen, of this transaction her s . Majesty was apprised the neat same evening. It was communicated to her Majesty by the authorities, and every precaution was taken to guard her Ma jesty'st l t i o fe from immureh dangerthe erselffor th d e ay purpo ses o f sa f ety in; but h er M a j esty dis dained her palace, or to conceal h erse lf .from the view of xt her loyal subjects, or prevent them from paying that tribute of loyalty aced affection which she had ever so deservedly received. Her Majesty came forth as usual the next day to take her ordj nary ride, • but with that magnanimity which belongs to the hiele minded courage of her Majesty, she refused to be accom pante • d by any of the Ladies of her Court, and s i ng l y, therefore, exposed herself to the danger which sh e thought it becoming in her to meet. Her Majesty, on the day in question, proceeded upon her usual excursion, and, on returnin g , the prison e r at the bar made that attempt which I have stated. Th e news spread through the metropolis like wildfire. Excitement followed it throughout the country, accompanied by sentiments of shame anti indignation, that in a country like England, in the metropolis should become the object of so base an attack; an d the ques tion, Gentlemen, for you to decide is, what is the character of that attack, and under what circumstances was it made? I admit to you that the excitement that prevailed through out the country is not to sway your verdict. I men tion it onlz for the purpose of showing, that the loyal reeple of England abhor base an att empt. Gentle men, I will now call your attention to the few remaining facts connected with the case. I shall conceal nothing from you which the law officers of the Crown discovered. I shall discharge my duty as it appears to mu to become me, and I shall ultimately leave the ca s e to sour deliberate and serious consideration, simply asking you to draw your own conclusions, and give no force to any remark I may make beyond that which is naturally formed by your own sup.: i r and deliberate judgment. Upon inquiry i t appears, that on the Friday before this event, the 0 7th of May, the prisoner at the bar purchased a pistol at a pawnbroker's shop in Tothill street, Westminster, for which he paid three shillings in very small coin, chiefly in half-pence. This you will hear from the witnesses that will be brought forward, and from the nature of the payment the conclusion must be, that the prisoner was in a state of extre me p ove r t y. on the same evening, at another place, the prisoner purchased a flint adapted to the pistol, and there was also reason to believe that he on the same occasion purchased some coarse gunpowder. My Learned Friend will probably ask where he got the ball or the destructive materials ; to that I answer, that although there is no evidence to show whether there was a ball in the pistol or not, there were ingredients to be found equally as dan gerous as lead. There were a thousand hard substances that might answer the purpose just as well —a child's marble, or some of the gravel on which the prisoner waestanding, might furnish him with the means of destruction. I will frankly ad mit, at this stage of the inquiry, that I have no direct evidence where he got any of the destructive materials, or what it was Tile first witness called was Colonel Arbuthnot, who we• examined by tre SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Oil the 30th May I was iii atttendance on her Majesty ; and the usual distance for the equerry to ride is about five yards behind the Royal carriage, but from what I had heard on the morning of Monday, I rode as cio.e to the carriage as possible. Colonel NI yld, Prince :filbert's equerry, also rode by th e s id e o f the Royal carriage. Between six and seven o'clock of the evening of the 30th May, in passing down Constitution-hill, about halt way down the h:1:, I ot.servect the prisoner take a pistol from his side, and the it in the direction of the Queen ; as quickly a, 1 could 1 pulled up my horse, and gave the prisoner Iwo he charge of a policeman who was standing by his side. The l runner Vas not quite so much as three yards nearer the Palace than the pump on the Hill ; he was on the footpath, an) about seven tcet from the carriage. The pistol was fired as 1 was just in the act of passing by where the prisoner was. 'lle cat siege had been going at the rate of about eleven miles an hour, but being apprehensive of an attack on the hill, 1 directed the postilions to drive even faster, and I should think the pace was about twelve or thirteen miles an hour; the horsey were going as fast as they could. I had received inti mation of danger before the carriage left the Palace, and in consequence her Majesty would not allow the ladies usually in attendance on her to ac company her. Her Majesty was on the off-side of the car riage, which was nearest to the prisoner; she was sitting on the back side of the carriage, and I was close to the Queen. The pistol appeared to me to be pointed as near as possible in the direction of her Majesty. I heard the report of the pistol plainly, and saw the smoke and the flash distinctly. There were no persons except a policeman very near the prisoner at the time; the policeman was about three feet from him, and to that policeman I said " secure him," pointing to the pri soner. Ile was then taken into custody by the po liceman, and a soldier of the Guards who came up. As quickly as I could I regained the place by the side of her Majesty's carriage which had not stopped. The pr seuer was taken to the Palace and searched by the police mai,. I saw the prisoner at the police-station in Gardener's lane, where he declined to state anything. Chief Justice TINDAL—How long was that after the occur rence? Witness--About a quarter of an hour. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I have been in the army since 1817. The carriage wasam open one. The horse I rode was about 14 hands 3 inches high. lien! y Allen examined by Mr.Aeosen vs--I am a private in the f.'d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards. I was in the park on the 30th May, from a quarter before to a quarter after six. I saw the prisoner there about the centre of Constitution-hill. He was leaning on the pump. I saw her Majesty's carriage come up. I wa s b etween twe l ve an d s i xteen paces behind the car riage, when I saw the prisoner step about three paces from the pump to war d s h er M a j esty ' s carr i age, w hi c h was advancing. He held h.s arm out , an d d i rect l y I saw t h e fl as h o f a pistol and heard the report. His arm was directed towards her Majesty. I have been in the army about eighteen months, and have had experience in firing with ball and blank cartridge. From what 1 could judge I should say that the pistol was loaded with ball, because the revolt of a piece fired with ball is somewhat sharper than when fired with a blank cartridge. The prisoner was about a yard from the carriage when he fired. I was on the same side as the prisoner ; her Majesty sat on the same side. When he fired the policeman took hold of him. Cross-examined by Mr. CLA ItIESON.—I was recruited at Abingdon, in lierkshise, last February twelve months. I was in drill about three or four months. I was a tailor before I joined the army. (Lionel Arbuthnot recalled and examined by Chief Justice TINDAL—The report of the pistol was sharp and loud, but I did not hear the whiz of a ball in consequence of the noise of the carriage and eight horses ; me opinion is that the pistol was loaded with some matter, and 1 judge, from the sharpness and loudness of the report. I cannot express that opinion with certainty ; but I think the report was that of a pistol well lammed down and charged. I will not take upon myself posi tively to swear that the pistol was loaded with anything more than gunpowder and wadding, but it must have been well rammed down, and such wadding well rammed down would have produced injury to the Queen it it had hit her. Patrick Fitzgerald examined by Mr. WAnozNuTox-1 have served in the Spanish and Portuguese armies. I was on Con stitutior-hill on 30th May, near the pump. I saw the prisoner at the bar there. I was near the wall of the Palace garden. I observed the prisoner particularly ; he was walking about. I was about five yards on the right of the prisoner when the Royal carriage came up; as soon as the carriage came in line with the prisoner I saw him raise his hasd, in which was a pistol, point it at the carriage, and discharge it. I saw the flash and heard the report. When he had fired the istol he dripped his hand down by his side ; I cried out " Seize the murderer," and rushed at him. Ile was immediately seized by toe policeman on the left side, and by me on the right. Cross-examined—The prisoner's left-hand appeared to be down, resting upon the pump. Colutel Wild examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I am Equerry to Prince Albert. I accompanied the Queen on the 30th of May. Her Majesty went out on that day in an open carriage, and sat on the right hand side. In the road from the Palace to Constitution-hill, there is a wall on the left hand side, and there is a space of about six or eight yards be tween the wall and the road ; and on the other side the road there are a footpath, iron railings, and then the Green-park. I saw the prisoner at the bar after he had fired. He fired on the Queen's side of the carriage--the right side, which is the side on which she always sits. I was riding as nearly as possible abreast of his Royal Highness on the near side. Some communication had been made to toe which induced me to keep very near the carriage on this drive. The first thing which attracted my attention was the sharp report of a pistol. I wheeled round directly, and saw the prisoner with his hand hanging down. A policeman and guardsman seized him directly, and I gave in structions to have him taken to the porter's lodge of the Palace. I saw the pistol : this is it. It was taken from the prisoner by the policeman in my presence. This pistol would carry 50 or 60 paces very well : it might carry further by al tering the elevation. It would be quite destructive at a short distance ; as much so as a larger one. I cannot exactly say how far the prisoner was from the carriage when he fired. At the distance of 7 feet, the wadding from such a pistol, if well rammed, would wound any exposed part of the person, and withal very likely set fire to the dress. The report was sharp and loud for such a pistol, front which I should judge that there was something in it to compress the powder very closely, either strong wadding or a bullet. The same sound would be produced if the pistol had been loaded with a stone or marble ; the wadding must have been well rammed down with something. I saw the prisoner searched. There was an empty pocket-book, some powder screwed up very tight in paper, Id. or 2d., I think, in money, and oneor two things of trifling importance found upon him. He did not appear much excited ; he appeared very firm, but I observed some agi , ation about his mouth and nose. I him his name, where he lived, and what he was, but he gave no answer whatever. I took him through the Palace, and gave Idm into the custody of Russell, the policeman, when he was conveyed Gardener's -lane. I rode by his side there ; he was then searched and stripped naked. lie said he had a father and mother arid two sisters living, and that he lived about two miles off. Cross-examined —I don't know whether the barrel of the pistol had been unscrewed. I just tried, but could nut un. I screw it at the time with my lani. It should have a key to unscrew it.

They would hear, too, from the Learned Judges whether they were to convict men upon sus pieiou—suspicion was enough to warrant an inquiry, but not a conviction. They must think how they had been solicited by the Learned Attorney-General to arm themselves with manli , ness to discharge their duties, and not to permit any weakness to operate in favour of the prisoner. Why should the Attorney-General on the fifth day of the session cal on them to arm themselves with manliness ? Were they not supposed to he always armed with the manliness necessary for the vindication of the rights of the Crown, the public, and the prisoners who came before them? or were they now to whip themselves into a degree of resolution, and to arm themselves with the manliness necessary for the discharge of their duties? These words conv e y e d more than would at first appear. No doubt every person must be bowed down with shame to think that any man should be guilty of the crime which had been proved against the pri soner ; yet was that a very different thing from the crime of high treason, with which the prisoner was charged. lie thought he had obtained some little respect in the eyes of the Attorney-General for common sense. Why, then, should the Attorney-General say that it bad been intimated to him that the defence meant to be set. up by him (Mr. Clarkson) was, that the prisoner was only expressing his loyalty by means of a:feu dejsic, and that defence was so contemptible. that he would not insult the Jury by saying one word upon such a de fence ? Where was the person who gave the At torney-General :that intimation ? • Who could it be ? Was not the ease bad enough, abominable, disgusting. sickening, without any feu de joie being mixed up with it ? lie felt the interests of the country were deeply involved in an Learned rr a a,e r re n koe e l attempt upon the life of her Majesty. He felt that the inter -04.1 of the country were deeply involved in the act which had been doubtlessly proved against the prisoner. The circum stances out of which the indictment had arisen were supposed to be considerably advanced by the fact that the prisoner had presented a pistol at her Majesty the day before that on which It was fired. If they should find that the act—the prisoner poverty-stricken and obscure—committed on that day was attended by no interruption, he thought that their eyes would soon be opened to the motives which induced him to act as he did, and they would not be left in the painful position in which they must be at present. The pistol he bought at a pawnbroker's shop, and it had been said by the excel lent officers who had been examined, to be able to carry about fifty paces, if elevated so as to have its full power. His Learned Friend said that a person in the prisoner's situation would not purchase a bullet, but that he would mould one himself. Where was the mould ? His loJg togs had been searched, and nothing of the kind had been niscovei ed. But his Learned Friend said that they were to infer that there was a bullet in the pistol ; not a bullet only ; they were to infer that there was a bullet, or a piece of lead, or a stone, which he might be able to pick up. Unless they came to the conclueinn that the pistol was loaded with ball, or s-urne other hard substance, they could not find him guilty. He would submit, however, under the direction of their Lordships, that if the prisoner had even levelled the pis tol, laden with nothing whatever, he had been guilty of an offence, under a recent Act, which would render him liable to a long term of imprisonment. Lo - id Chief Justice TINDAL said that it would be competent fur the Jury to acquit the prisoner of the treason, and find him guilty of the assault. CLARK SON continued—He would beg now to direct tine attention of the Jury to the evidence of Colonel Arbuthnot. The Colonel, cn this occasion, was riding close by the side of her Majesty so as ~o cover her :Majesty's person, on a horse fourteen hands seven itches high, and the prisoner was about seven feet from the carriage. He did not appear to be at all disturbed or excited when he was takers into custody. Let him ask then whether it was not almost a matter of cer tainty that if the pistol had been loaded some damage would Lave been d one t o t h e C o l one l or his horse, or some, part of th e carr i age.

Being No. I of William Shakapere: a Biography, BY CHARLES KNIGHT. This new Life of Shakspere, although forming a portion of the Pictorial Edition of his works, will occupy a volume com plete in itself. Although the materials of the Poet's private biography are very few, his public career may he traced with tolerable precision ; and by surrounding him with all the cir cumstances which belong to the rise, progress, and maturity of his genius, and by displaying him in association with the social asp, ets of his age, much that is useful for the proper under standing of hii writings may be connected with a general pic ture of one of the most temarkable eras of our History and our Literature. The volume will be profusely illustrated by Views, Portraits, &c , from original drawings. London : Charles Knight and Co. Wild said nothing more than that it appeared to him that there must have been something in the pistol to compress the powder. S , orne allowance should be made, too, for the excitement of the witnesses, who, seeing her _Majesty cruella and brutally as sailed, gave him hen custody, and were no doubt much excited against him The witnesees . Troutree and Lavi n i a Biancherd carried the case no farther. The next witness was Win. Richards, who stated nothing whatever relating to the case. Then came Inspector Russell, who searched the-prisoner and found nothing of consequence, as Col. Wild said, except a small quantity of gunpowder. Suppose now that her Ma jesty's sacred lite Ilea not been concerned in this case, as would to God it had not, but that this were a case between two private individuals, and that the prisoner were charged with shooting at another person with a bullet, he shell's!. if eutsb had, been the case, he did not know, but he should have deemed it his duty to have submitted to their Lordships that there was not evidence enough to carry the case to the Jury. It was a notorious fact that the man Oxford, after what he at tempted some time ago, was now better off than ever he was before. Might it not, then, • be inferred that the prisoner, a young man in great (Es-. tress, without a penny to pay for his lodgings, might be induced, by a desire for notoriety, he might alaiost say Ina thecr n pi t i an sr e tio c , e a adt n t d oh i et t ir r o l ; ) o ia p Ljs e eo s o o tk : . atin and eti said, d whatin gh e d s condition, idn s und t a o \ t h a e s hi pointed had " I don't care; they may take me if they like. I was a fool not to shout." Would the Jury think that there was any bullet in the pistol then ? Weuld they believe that if there had been a bullet in it, he would have called attention to himself and invited his own appreheneiou. knowing that the ball would be enough to constitute his guilt ? Or would they not rather believe th at , un l oaded, Ire areseetrd the pistol with the desire of being apprehended, that his late sad and wretched life might be changed for a more comfortable one ? In that case the prisoner had asked wantonly and foolishly and richly deserved robe punished, and no doubt he would be punished as he deserved. He, too, would then entreat the Jury to exercise their manliness, and protect the prisoner, and he would beg of their Lordships to stand between the prisoner and the Attorney-General's speech, Aou de joie! A symbol of loyalty ! Had they not heard rue.. in their ears from one end of the country to the other the bate': nest of this crime ? Had they riot been told that Oxford should have been executed, and then this would not have occurred? Had they not been told that they (the Jury) must be armed with manliness to convict the prisoner. lt, eresele. sion, he begged of them to throw from them all indueemeats to convict, and the prejudices which had been east over this case ; and might the Almighty aria them with marl. liners enough to stand between the Crown and the prisoner, between the man anti the justice af the country. The verdict would be theirs, and it. would be handed down to posterity ac theirs ; the speech of his Learned Friend, with his inducements to them to convict, would also be handed down. He sat down in a firm reliance upcn the clemency and mercy ot the Jury ; and he had no doubt the justice et the country would be vin dicated by their verdict. This was the cane for the defence. At this part of the proceedings the Jury retired for a few minutes. On their return, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL rose to reply. It now devvelved upon him to address a few words to the Jury in reply to the ar guments contained in the eloquent and very excellent address of his Learned Friend. He willingly conceded that this trial, important as it was, must be conducted in the same way as every other criminal prosecution ; and he scat sure that his Learned Friend (Mr. Clarkson) must have misunderstood his Learned Friend the Attorney-General, if he understood him to say that the burden of the proof did not rest upon the prosecution. Every man must be presumed to be innocent till he be proved guilty, and no doubt the burden of proof rests with the prosecution. Yet if the facts against a prisoner be so strong as to require explanat , on, and the prisoner were unable to explain and clear up the facts against hint, he world say that the inference would be that the prisoner was guilty ; and his Learned Friend said nothing more than that he should present strong evidence to the Jury ; and if the prisoner were unable to clear up the facts {,roved against bin, he should ask . them as awn of sense, calmly, but fairly, to give their verdict upon that. evidence. They roust upon the evidence say whether the prisoner be guilty or not guilty. The ari , oner having left his lodgings on Friday, and having purchased a pistol, gun. powder, awl a flint, was found presenting a pistol at her Majesty on the Sunday. On Alrieuay the prisoner was preyed to have fired a pistol at the carriage of her Majesty, arid Colonel Arbuth not deposed that the pistol was pointed direct to the Queen. The soldier also said that the pistol teas pointed at the Queen, and Col. Fitzgerald said that he pointed the pistol at the open part of the carriage tellers. the Queen sat. Go e, who rode 6or 7 y ards behind the carriage, thought that th e pistol was directed at.the centre of the hind wheel. Now he did not think that the evidence of the grooin on that point, who was riding six or seven yards behind the carriage, should at all effect the evident e of Colonel Arbuthnot, the private soldier, and Coaniel Fitz gerald. Then came the question which had been raised, and which constituted the defence of the pi ;t was stared, that though he purchased the pistol, preserit ed it ors Sunday at the Queen, and on Monday fired it, at th.) distance of seven feet, the act was an cut. one—at any rate etas not of the character to constitute the crime with which the priseper was charged. He (the Solicitor-General) maintained, thai the evidence of the soldier who had been eighteen months it: the Guards, .upported as it was by the testimony of Colonel Ai butt:not. arid Calonel WM!, was enough to lead 'hem to the. hire:emir: that there was a ball or some other niischievous ina•erod in the pistol. His Learned Friend said, Where was the ball? If the pistol had been loaded it must have hit some one, or some part of the carriage." That did not necessartly foliow ; it woulddepend entirely upon the aim which was taken, whether the ball should hit any part of the equinig,e. But what was the inference, if a pistol were dise:rargeir at the Queen at the distance of seven feet? Was not the inferenve that the pistot was loaded? The Learned Counsel toe the defence disclaimed that this was a harmless frolic ; he tidmiited ,t was a wicked ast ; but he asked for a motive. Thee doctrine asking for a motive for crime was a most dangerous 0k4.. It it were admitted, many crimes would pass unpunished ; turf f it were dangerous in ordinary cases, how rameh nure dangerous ins such cases as this? Who t.t . ,tild ell the motive of Fieschi? Of his guilt there could he no doubt; yet who could tell his motive? What was the motive which the Learned Counsel fur the de fence had attributed to the prisoner? Why, that becauee a man who two years ago had fired at the Sovereign had been found mad, and had gratified his morbid love of noto riety, that therefore the prisoner had a d es i re to gra tify his morbid love of notoriety, with a hope of being as well provided for as Oxford had been, Could any sane mail have acted thus ? It he had not been protected t.y Colonel Arbuthnot, who could tell what might have been the consequences from the indignation of the bystanders? Insanity was not set up, and yet what sane man would have taken volun tarily upon himself the character of an assassin merely for the sake of a morbid love of notoriety. They should Lea at this as a question of common sense, and looking at it as men of sense, as men of the world, he asked in what light could they consider it ? If Ire had been ap prehended on the Sunday, where would have been his notoriety, if a pistol without a bell hail been found on him ? Why, even the wadding of the pistol fired at that distance, might have done serious injury ; but he did not rest upon that. He admitted that there was no direct proof that the pistol was loaded ; but he asked them whether, under all the circumstances they could come to any other conclusion than that the pistol was loaded? If they believed that he had a criminal design, they must find him guilty, but if, under all the circumstances of the case, they should be of opinion, that he had no criminal design, then they must acquit him. They had an impartial duty to perform, ri.it only to the Sovereign, but to the public at large ; every mem ber of which was deeply interested in the safety of the see vereign. To their hands he committed the case, satisfied that they would execute impartial justice between the Crown arid the prisoner at the bar. Chief Justice TINDAL then proceeded to sum uia the case, and said that in all cases of high treason the law required the proof of the commission of certain overt acts. In this ease s the overt act constituted the treason itself ; it was the shooting off and discharging a certain pistol, loaded with gunpowder and a bullet, or some other destructive substance, at her Majesty ; and another count ch ar ged him with discharging a certain loaded pistol at her Majesty. If it should appear satisfactory to the Jury that the pistol was lor.ded with a bullet., there cou;d be very little doubt as to the guilty intent of tire prisoner ; therefore, the first question to he considered was whether the pistol was loaded with a bullet or any other destructive substance. There was a second question to be considered, which was whether, although the pistol was only loaded with gunpowder and wadding, it was fired so close to her Majesty, as to be calculated to do her severe bodily harm ; then also an overt act would be made nue If the Jury were satisfied of neither of these positions, then their verdict must be in favour of the prisoner. (The Learned Judge then read his notes of the evidence at length.) With regard to the identity of the prisoner these could be no doubt. It was clear that he was tlie person spoke to by all the witnesses, that he was seized with the pistol in his possession, which pistol lie had recently nischarged. The evi dence of the Pearsons was most extraordinary. It was for the Jury to place their own construction upon the conduct of the prisoner on the Sunday in presenting the pistol at the Royal carriage, and upon the ex pressions he made use of on that oseasion. The question, however, would resolve itself almo s t e n ti re ly into the question of the intention of the prisoner at the bar on the Monday, according to the view they took ot his conduct on that day. They would ',insider, either that his conduct on the Sunday, betokened that of a man determined to persevere in the perpetration of a horrible crime, or that it was Milieu five of a man in a state of desperation who was desirous of be ing taken into custody. If they were satisfied that the pistol loaded with ball, or sonic other destructive substance there would b e c- difficulty in the case. If they should be of opinion that the piston was loaded with powder and wadding only, then they would have to consider whether it was discharged so close to her Majesty as that if the wadding had struck her it would hav: done her some bodily harm, or if it 'was discharged with the intention of doing her some bodily harm. If they should he ot opinion that such was the case, they must find the prisoner guilty. It was a question not of law but of tact, and was for the Jury alone to deterniir.e. If they should feel convinced that he had committed the offence with which he stood charged, it would be their duty to bring in a verdict of guilty, without regard to consequences, but if they should be of opinion that the scales of justice hung even, then they would give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Gentlemen of the Jury, please to consider your verdict. The Jury having consulted fur a few minutes iP the boa, The FOREMAN said— Nly Lord, I think that we had better retire. Chief Justice TlNDAL—Certainly, Gentlemen. The Jury then retired at twenty minutes to four o'clock to consider their verdict, and returned into Court at five mi. ures after five, and brought in a verdict of " Guilty on the second and third counts; we think there is some doubts on the first." Chief Justice TINDAL—Do you find him guilty of the first overt act, that the pistol was loaded with a bullet ?—We do not.

I wished distinctly to ascertain Chief Justice TINDAL your opinion on that point. The prisoner, who turned pale when the verdict was deli vered. eras called on. The Clark of the Arraigns—John Francis, you stand con victed of high treason. What have )ou to say why the Court should not give you judgment to die according to law.—The prisoner who seemed dreadfully affected returned no answer.
