—that has been the cant used in this country by the hirelings of the ig,tft until it has actually sickened public indigm son. Will not, I tell you, wait. We ought not to wait longer. :You cannot safely postpone us. You will lose the popliar support of Ireland, if you attempt to procrastinate re- Bet. We will not be baffled; we cannot be deluded. All we ask is that you should put out of office our enemies and yours. All we require is, that the Orange faction should not continue to be, as they have hitherto exclusively been, your only instruments of rule in Ireland. We simply ask of you not to entrust power, as you have hitherto done, to your moral enemies, but to govern Ireland by avowed and tried friends of reform and of the Irish people—by such men as you ere yourself. In the name of common sense I ask whether anything can be more reasonable and just than our demand ? You cannot conciliate the Orange banditti, even if you were to continu: it is odious and administer Ireland through the instrumentality of fac tion—a faction which, believe me, is as weak an,' powerless. save for minute and individual mischief, a', detested in the judgment of every intell;:gent and honest man --and as it also is, I humbly believe., in the sight of the living God of charity and truth. I now come to my detail's—l now come to an epitome of Irish history since the Nr r igs came into power. I will give you chapter and verse for everything. And to begin— [As this portu of Mr. O'Connell's letter is somewhat trite and tediou s T:ie have thought fit to " curtail" it a little of its " foul proportions," carefully, however, keeping in all the main points of his charges.") CHAPTRR THE FIRST. " Containing a brief catalogue of some of the follies, faults, and crimes, perpetrated on the people of Ireland by the Whigs since they came into office." FIRST—The first folly begins with the beginning. When Earl Grey was made Prime Minister, the only persons he con sulted or entrusted with the Government of Ireland were Lords Plunkett and Anglesey. This was a grievous folly-- and although I do not agree with Talleyrand, that a folly is worse than a crime, yet this folly has been the fruitful source of many crimes. Lord Grey did not deserve his station unless he was aware that there never lived a public man in Ireland so devoid of popularity as Lord Plunkett. He had obtained rather than earned the hatred of all parties. There was something about him vihich made it impossible to place confidence in him. A Presbyterian in his days of poverty—a Protestant as he grew into wealth. The advocate, and yet deemed the deadly foe of the Catholics. His whole mind seemed concentrated in self. His cold repulsive manner, the sardonic sneer which ever played about his lips, marked him as a man without a friend—friendships he had none. The most efficient advocate the British empire ever produced—he had no reputation as a lawyer, and gave anything but satisfaction as a judge. As to Lord Anglesey—poor man !—a compound of the most ridiculous weakness, with some splendid and useful theories. After his appointment I had a dialogue of two hours lenrsth was almost him (if that may be called a dialogue where th e taP a almost exclusively his), but in which I ventured to predi ct to him that he would not be six months in Ireland besiore he be came the most unpopular Lord-Lieutenant that, country ever saw. Alas, he took care to verily my prediction within one fortnight after his arrival in Dublin. Lord Grey should have known him *better. Lord Grey's folly was the greater, because of his ceainection with you. He should have consulted you—there v as no excuse for his not consulting you. He ought not to have made arrangements for Ireland without having the benefit, of your knowledge of this country, and of your sound ar . avice. He might—to descend to smaller faults--have conci,eseended to consult me—but I had earned his personal hostility—so long since as 1825, and that hostility, "miserabile dictu"—became a directing principle of his misrule of Irelasid—but there is no excuse for his not con sulting you. Hoer many of the subsequent faults and follies might he not have. avoided had he consulted you and attended to your advice. Second—Tee second fault and folly followed rapidly the first. The /office of Chief Baron was vacant by the retirement of Chief Baron O'Grady, whose declining age required repose. Here was a glorious opportunity to appoint to an office of great dignity and great emolument a barrister of eminent talents and liberal opinions. There were to be found at the head of the Irish bar some such men—men who had endured many sears of persecution arid professional slight by reason of their avowal of their principles. Was any one of these chosen? Was even a neutral sought out and selected for that high office ? No, no—one hundred times no. Lord Anglesey took a dif ferent course. He went at once to the head of the Orange bar, be took Mr. Joy—the man in profession best known for hostility to the civil rights of the Catholic—a man who owed his elevation to office of Attorney-General by the former Ad ministration, not to his talents, which were considerable, or to his legal knowledge, which was extensive, but exclusively to the superior tone and vigor of his Orange Toryism. Such was the man whom Lord Anglesey selected as Chief Baron. There was also one individual objection to him. He was almost as old as his predecessor, who had just resigned from old 'age. Third.—The third folly treads close on the heels of the second, and is of the same class, but of a deeper colour. The nomination of Plunkett to be Chancellor left vacant the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas. Here was another great le gal prize in the gift of the new Ministry—here was another glo rious opportunity to recompense the unconquerable fidelity of some of the friends of civil and religious liberty at the bar. One would think that the slightest glimmer of common sense would have dictated a choice from some such men. But com mon sense was not an article in which Lord Anglesey dealt— he-accordingly selected Mr. Doherty for the office. I need not tell you, my Lord, the thrill of surprise and in credulity with which the intelligence of Mr. Doherty's ap pointment was received., It was said that there was but one cause for his promotion—namely, that every possible reason existed why the Whigs should not promote him. The rule of contraries which has distinguished so many appointments of the Whigs could alone account for his exaltation to so impor tant and emolumentary a station. His own most sanguine dreams could never have reached so high. I have no doubt he would readily have accepted the office of Assistant Bars:is ter, and thought himself happy in getting it, when he found himself, as if by a miracle, made Chief Justice. There was, indeed, nothing , to recommend him, to the Whigs. He was their political enemy, but without party or other influence. His talents were very modereee—his reputa tion for legal knowledge by no means great---his success at the bar exceedingly trivial. He would have probably felt flattered at being called a sixth or seventh-rate barrister. The manner in which both theso offices were bestowed filled the popular party with indigretelon ; and never was their in dignation more just and reasonable. If the ministry in Eng land had laid hold of Scarlett and Sugden, after some of their bitter and sarcastic kiarangues against the Whigs, and con verted them both into Chief Judges if they had made Sugden Chief I :_;aron, and Scarlett Chief Justice, without getting any vencession or recantation of hostility from them, would not eal England have risen to a man and rooted the Whigs O'.it of office ? At least they ought to do so. Yet Scarl''tt and Sugden, in point of talent, legal knowledge, and success, would have justified any promotion. But if, in addition to this, the Whigs had looked out amongst their violent political enemies and found a seventh rate barrister, making, perhaps, about 500/. a year at the bar, and had converted him at once into a Chief Justice of the Common Pleas ; if the Whigs had so acted in England, would they not have been the laughing stock of the merry, and the contempt of the wise ? Thus, even thus, have they behaved in Ireland. Tmee—The third fault was not merely a folly—it was a crime. The office of Attorney-General became vacant; an office of enormous emolument in the hands of a prosecuting Attorney-General, and of the very first political influence. The Irish government is identified with the Attorney-Gene ral. It is not of so much importance how the other offices are filled, if the Attorney-General be a man of sound principles. This was the Prime, the lasting, the continued blunder of the Whigs. They selected for their Attorney-General Frances Blackburne You know him well. I appeal with confidence to r the opinion which you must give your colleagues in the confidence of official intercourse. I appeal to your opinion as I would to your oath in a court of justice, for the truth of this assertion, " that so unhappy and fatal a selection was never yet made." Why was Mr. Blackburne chosen to he the principal in strument of the Whig government ? The history of his life seemed to forbid such a choice. It is quite true that he had• been successful in his profession ; his reputation as a lawyer considerable ; an overrated man certainly, but a man of high standing in profession ; but then he was the most con stant and decided enemy of both the Whigs and the people. By a singular fatality the first act of his political life was one of' violent hostility to the Whigs. When that party were in power, in 1806, the Irish bar had a meeting to address your relative, Chancellor Ponsonby, and Mr. Curran, on their pro motion. Blackburne, then a young man at the bar, made a virulent harangue against the Whigs, and actually divided the meeting against the address. His political career since was perfectly consistent with such a beginning. He enrolled him self as a leadsr amongst the virulent and vexatious saints of Kildare-place. He was also a constant attendant at those Bible meetings and tract societies, at which the religion of the people of Ireland and the people themselves were the sub ject-of every species of vulgar ribaldry and abuse. He was, besides, the chosen and the standing orator at those scenes of good feeling and bad politics, the corporation dinners. You know that these dinners were, and are, the rallying points of all that was and is violent and bigotted in the Irish metropolis. At these dinners Blackburne for years filled the station which Shaw now occupies, and his tirade against " Pope and Popery" formed a regular part of each entertainment. Yet it was this man—fresh from the oratory of bigotry, and from signing the last and worst petition against emancipation—that Lord An glesey appointed Attorney-General. I need not remind yo u of the active patronage which your Attorney-General bas afforded to the most Orange part of the Irish bar. But you, my Lord, knowra--you know him well--and you must feel that you canno t hi preserve any species of character for consistency or political integrity unless you, without any delay, either change your Attorney-General or resign. As I proceed in this chapter, I will notice his prosecuti ons —prose cu ti ons 'C on t r i ve d t o r aise a wall of eternal separation between the popular party in Ireland and the Ministry. It is true that these prosecutions had the sanction of Mr. Stanley and of Earl G re y ; b ut reco ll ect it i s the faults and crimes of the Whigs I am commenting upon, not those of their Attorney- General. Have you, ray Lord, inquired into the prosecution for murder in the county of Kildare, in which the accessary was executed and the alleged principal not brought to trial ? For heaven's sake inquire int o t h at case. I - dare not comm i t t h e publisher of this . letter by stating all that is believed on that subject. Thee ea u, my Lard, inquired into the case of the murder of Catheres; perpetrated by some Orangemen, and tried at the last assizes for Carrickfergus ? The principal in that horrid ' ,outrage was arrested before the spring assizes, and indicted then for murder, under the directions of Mr. Sergeant Perrin, who conducted the prosecutions on that circuit for the Attor ney-General. Well, that indictment was quashed, in the ne cessary absence at the last assizes of Sergeant Perrin, and an indictment for manslaughter substituted ! The prisoner was convicted, and the Chief Justice, in passing sentence, ex pressed his surprise at the trial being for manslaughter, de claring that the case was murder. Hare you inquired how this prosecution was mismanagedunder the control of the Attor ney-General's officer, that is, by „ t , !:' himself, or by the counsel or agent who represan - him at the trial ? This inqui; Is the more necessary, as the truculent Orange leaders. "dt the late meeting in Dublin, have proclaimed the c Y ...ermination of the labouring classes of the Catholics. Shall the hope be held out to the Grangemen of Ulster that the only penalty which awards the murderer of a Catholic is the miti gated punishment for manslaughter? Think you that public confidence can be obtained by our ministry, if you continue the present Attorney-General ? Have you inquired into the insults offered to Catholic jurors in the prosecutions carried on through your Attorney-General as reported to the House of Commons by Sergeant Perrin and Mr. More O'Ferrall ? But why should I weary you with these questions ? I appeal to your common sense whether there be any possibility of reconciling the popular party in Ireland with the Ministry so long as you continue in office so decided a political enemy upon principle of both as your Attor ney-General. I must conclude for the present. I have noted down no less than twenty-one separate charges against the Whigs which fall within the categories included in the chapter of Irish history which lam writing. I must defer the remaining eighteen to another letter. These letters are tedious ; but I implore of you, my Lord, to read them with attention. Your nomination to be a Cabinet Minister was hailed as the commencement of a better era. It was a pledge that the vile and silly system of promoting enemies and excluding friends should be terminated, and the rational plan of at length making a government party in Ireland by conciliating the people, substituted. I myself saw your appointment in this light, and proclaimed it as such. I took your good sense and knowledge of Ireland as a pledge of the approach of better times. But, alas, how vain are all hopes arising from the past character of statesmen ! You, my Lord, are two months—two long months—in office, and you have not taken one step to redeem all or any of your pledges—for pledges I justly call them. It is, indeed, given out that you have pourself chosen for your private secretary a rank and inveterate Tory. Alas, alas, for poor Ireland !! Until Parliament meets we require that you will discounte nanr,e and dismiss your and our enemies—that you will govern y and through our and your friends. Sacred Heaven I—that it should be necessary to mako such a request of any men not confined within the walls of Bedlam 1 For the present—and awaiting the exposition of eighteen more " follies, faults, and crimes," of the Whigs— I have the honour to be, your faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL.

THE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON. - 'wit • s! ,. fiSl ko" . • , • „ y r.. krzru.,,,--: ,••-'••• fsnn,, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1634. We have received the whole of the Papers of Thursday, together with arrivals from Spain of the 28th August. The only intelligence contained in the Parisian Journals is a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, of Wednesday's date, published in the Monitcur, to the effect that whatever advantages were recently gained in Spain were on the side of the r_ u eEN's troop:), and that a report vias . .in . circulation, 8N ; 8 10 TIIE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1834 which stated that JAUREGUI had defeated the sth battalion of the rebels, near Irun and St. Sebastian, the garrisons of which went out to intercept-the flight of the fugitives. Now, whether this be true or not, is of little consequence ; but it is not so to ask how long is the population of Spain to be exposed to the ravages of civil war, while France and England possesses abundant means of putting an end to it with hardly any expense, and without in the slightest degree en dangering the peace or security' of either country ? Is it well to look an idle spectator on a scene of strife and desolation, which, terminate as it may, must by its continuance demoralize the people, and destroy in them every trace of social virtue? It is not the carnage, the destruction of property, the scenes of unheard of misery, and unexampled woe, that constitute the direct calamity of which civil war is ever pregnant. It is the eradication of all principles of religion and virtue from among the great mass of the suffering population—it is the cruelty and hardness of heart engendered by familiarity with military butchery, and the sight of human blood poured forth like water, and without remorse, at the command of alternate victors, who sanctify slaughter by the plea of expediency—it is the being exposed to that familiar acquaintance with the countenance of vice, which a great poet and a sound moralist consi dered sufficient to cause the certain headlong plunge into the gulph of iniquity of the very innocent--it is these and many other evils which gradually but effec tually sap the foundations of virtue, that make the pro traction of civil war one of the most dreadful curses that can befal any people. The only instance in which these evils would not be productive of the worst con sequences here pointed out, is among a well-edu cated population, where the inhabitants, exposed to the horrors of military devastation, would be possessed of sufficient understanding to regard such atrocities not as examples or palliatives for individual wrong, but as salutary lessons of the miseries consequent on what the world has monstrously termed military glory ! But Spain boasts of no such intellectual population. Her peasantry are in general almost brutally ignorant, miserably poor, and fanati cally superstitious. They are, moreover, under the influence of mendicant monks, personally interested in repelling the progress of reform, and habitually subject to the commands of Grandees, a number of whom look to the chances of war, as the only hope of improving their shattered fortunes, and regaining their lost influence in the councils of the Sovereign. Now, is it wise, or well, or even politi cally expedient, to behold the demoralization of a great nation, such as Spain still is, while there are abundant resources within reach by which the calamity can be almost instantly avoided ? The principle of non-interference is generally the best that can be acted upon, but occasions will arise, and the present state of Spain is of the number, when to discharge our duty we must act in the very teeth of it. Men may resolve never to interfere in domestic quarrels beyond their own thresholds; but such a reso lution would be pleaded with very bad grace by a man who beheld his neighbour's throat cut, and on principle declined collaring the murderer while drawing his knife. We ought not to embroil ourselves in diplomatic squabbles, nor ought we give countenance or encou ragement to braggadocio bullyings about some such foolery as the lowering or hoisting of a flag in this or that channel ; but it is a very different thing to . witness unmoved the raising of the standard of re bellion, the demoralizing of millions of people, and the massacre of thousands of innocent, unoffending beings for no other crime than that of obeying the laws of their country. In this latter case no principle of non interference can be pleaded—the very mention of it would be a disgrace instead of an honest firmness—an - ignorance of the fundamental laws of nature and nations instead of an acquaintance with them. The question is one so very obvious, that we may be excused quoting the opinions of PUFFENDORFF, GROTIUS, or VATTEL on the subject, though laid down and defined in the works of each. The correspondent of a Morning Paper, whose communication from Bayonne is dated the 31st of August, states that Colonel CARADOC arrived there the night before from Rot) IL's head-quarters, which he left two days previously ; and that that officer stated the delay which took place in the total ex tirpation of the rebels arose from the wa nt of a - sufficient number of troops. He further stated that RODIL could do nothing unless he received a reinforcement of from thirty to forty thousand effec tive troops, as the whole of those under his command, capable of being brought into the field, did not ex ceed twenty-five thousand, which he was obliged to divide into five or six battalions, in order to intercept the movements of the enemy. This intelligences if correct, will deservedly expose Rolm, to much well merited censure, as we have reason to know that, but for assurances of being amply provided with the means of capturing Don C A RL os, the Spanish Government would long since have had recourse to foreign powers if necessary, rather than continue the useless protraction of a civil war. Certain we are that neighbouring nations in ferred from the tone of RODIL'S despatches that the war in Spain was nothing more than a superior des cription of squirrel hunt, in which their nimbleness of foot, and skill at performing somersets over precipices alone protected the rabble host of rebels from utter ex termination. But now it comes out, that there was more swaggering than sincerity in this reported state of things. That in all probability RODIL hazarded de feat, rather than make a confession which would de prive him of the sole honour of leading a captive Prince in chains to the foot of his Sovereign's throne. He would have but one triumphal car appear in the via sacra ; and hence Spain was to run the chance of being for months enwrithed by serpents. How often are not nations sacrificed to the vanity of individuals ! The reports of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the 26th and 28th ult., are not worthy of an y particular notice, as they merely refer to the pre sentation of petitions. The CH A NCELLOR is by far the most highly gifted individual that has appeared in our day. He must therefore have a powerful influence on the affairs of his country, so long as health and strength shall be vouch safed to him. His first act of power negatives the motives which have been lately ascribed to him. For time out of mind every other Chancellor appointed his secretary of bankrupts and his purse-bearer with fixed salaries, subject to the condition of paying to him the fees of their respective offices. A sum of from 4,0001. to 5,0001. per annum was thus added to the emolu ments of this great officer, by an unworthy arrange ment. With 5,000/. per annum from the civil list, the remainder of his in'zome was composed of fees, the rgreipt of which by . i nlm the present CHANCELLOR has *;11 - 6 1 . iiSiWd, toe' ,Tl".:r. with all sinecures is Chancery, which his predecessors used to make the means of pro- ' viding for their families. We do not mean to enume rate the subsequent acts of the CHANCELLOR, but we say they all bear the impress of a lofty mind ; and that he is to be judged by his acts, and not by the insinuations and misrepresentations of renegade and party writers. The grounds upon which he proceeds are beyond their ken, for he dives into the principle of things, with which they are unable to grapple. To say that he is without faults, or does not fall into error, would be to say that he is not a man. His faults and his errors arc a fair subject of animadversion. But his faults and his errors are one thing, and his .talents and his acts, which proceed from his talents, are another ; and there is animadversion for correction, and animad version for destruction, which last is the palpable pur pose of his traducers, who will possibly sooner pro duce an effect upon a part of the community similar to themselves, than make an impression upon the CHAN cELLoR ; for there is a disposition in little minds to pull down what they cannot reach, while there is a tendency in great ones to despise the attempt. Thursday last seems to have been a blank day—a sort of dies non—to the Lancashire Conservatives. In full expectation that his Grace of WELLINGTON would honour them with his presence, they had put them selves to prodigious expense in getting up a dinner every way worthy of such a guest. But, alas the day of the grand festival came, and still no Duke ! Hour after hour wore on—carriage after carriage rolled up to the " Legh Arms Hotel,"—and still no Duke I Public astonishment and curiosity were of course strongly roused in consequence of this unnac countable absence of his Grace. " Where is the Duke ? " What can have be come of the Duke ?"—" Has he mistaken the day ?" " Has his carriage broken down and rolled him into a ditch ?" " Is he ill ?" " Has he got the cholera ?" Such were the questions bandied about all day among the Conservatives at Newton, but not a soul could answer them. The utmost that any one knew was, that there was to be a dinner without a Duke—so to dinner they went, consoling themselves, no doubt, with the reflection that, after all, things were not quite so bad, for that it was infinitely 'better to go without a Duke, than to go without a dinner. We think so too. The speeches delivered at this festival were no less worthy of the speakers than of the cause they espoused. The Chairman (the Earl of WILTON), was particularly happy in his display of full-grown absurdity. He observed that it was now high time for the Ultras to begin to show the people that they were really well disposed towards them just as if the people had not all their wits about them, and could discriminate be tween friends and foes ! " Parliament" added the Noble Speaker " when convened, enabled government to remove some of those props which supported the fabric of the constitution ; but by the timely exertions of the friends of the constitution, by the exertion of a society such as that which he had the honour then of addressing, the day was not far distant when the country would be restored to that glorious state in which Englishmen wished to behold her." The Noble Lord evidently implies by this that the day is coming when the House of Commons will be untTformed—that is, " restored to the glorious state of"—boroughmongery. His Lordship must be labouring under a more than ordinary Conservative hallucination—and that is saying a good deal for him—if he really expects that such an event as this will ever take place. The glories of borough mongery are already with the years beyond the flood-- never to be renewed till HUME sports the poetic, and O'COIsINELL has learned to be consistent. If Lord WILTON was simply absurd, Mr. ROBY took a higher flight. He was absolutely frantic, and this to a degree which would create a sensation even in Bedlam. O'CONNELL, he said, was " a brawling demagogue,"—Lord ALTHORP " honest by a figure of speech,"—Lord PALMERSTON a " courter of Mammon,"—the House of Commons a " stye" full of " filthy profanities ;"—did any one ever yet hear, see, or read of a profane pig-stye ? in fact, there was neither worth, wit, nor honesty to be met with, except among the Conservatives. It was som e comfort, however, proceeded the speaker, to re flect that the House of Lords was still the House of Lords. It is singular from what strange sources your genuine Conservative derives the materials of consola tion. Here we find a man actually chuckling at the idea of the House of Lords doing all it can to ensure its own destruction I And this satisfaction he expe riences because he is a staunch friend to that House I It is clear that Mr. ROBY loves the House, as Othello loved Desdemona,'" not wisely but too well." Lord SKELMERSDALE observed, in a speech dull enough for a Duke, " It might be said, why did the House of Lords consent to the passing of the Re form Bill ? It had done so, not from anv childish fear, but to comply with the pledge which the highest individual in the country had given on the question,--a pledge which, he believed, he since deeply regretted." This insinuation is as malignant, as we firmly believe it is unfounded. - But Conservative malignity sticks at nothing, provided an end is to be accomplished. Your true Ultra will lie—fawn—flatter—bully—betray —lick the dust off the rabble's feet—or kick them about like foot-balls—in fact do any thing or all things that may tend to the advancement of his own interests. Th u s we here see a Peer of the Realm insinuating for party purposes a charge against his MAJESTY of the most incredible vacillation I What.! can his towering ambitionbe satisfied with no humbler theme for the exer cise of its malignity ? Is it so all-grasping—so auda cious—so omnivorous—that it will not even spare the Throne ? Had a Whig or a Radical put forth a hint like this—bless us I what a shout of exe ci ation would have been raised among the Conser vatives ! But these, we suppose, from long habit, think they may sin with impunity. It is a mere harmless ebullition of vivacity when they insult anointed Majesty ; though were a Whig or Radical ever to attempt the like, in him it would be down- right treason. — That in the Captain's but a choleric word, Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy." We have left ourselves little space to do justice to the deserts of Mr. HULTON--which we regret—for he is a - Conservative fforthy of our utmost attention. Wherever there is a Feast of Folly, he is sure to sit high among the guests. His speech was a di ligent embodiment of all the most rancorous abuse that has defiled the columns of the post, ever since that journal first adopted the dialect of Billingsgate. He was especially emphatic on the subject of RIDLEY'S ghost _—the Whig banditti—the Durhamites—old LA- T / L E....,—the great rzbellion...;anl .Ii rd QI4Y, who danced the bays through his speech in all the graces of metaphorical confusion. Doubt less, Mr. HULTON thinks himself a wise man, but the world would think him a still wiser one, if he would only hold his tongue. It is not till he begins to croak, that the vain, gaudy peacock disappoint us. Our readers will find, in another part- of The Sun, Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter to Lord DUNCANNON. This letter is neither more nor less than a recapitu lation of the injuries which Ireland has sustained at the hands of the GREY Ministry, by their Irish legal appointments. We do not hold with Mr. O'CONNELL in these matters ; but his letter contains much that is worthy of Lord DUNCANNON'S serious consideration. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Thomas Goodwin, a respectable young man to appearance, was indicted for stealing a letter from the General Post-office, in which establishment he was a letter-carrier, containing bills and notes to the amount of 6,0001. and upwards, the property of Messrs. Walker, the bankers, of R o th er h am ; an d B r y an 31' Sweeney and John Ward were indicted for receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. The offence was charged in the indictment, which was very long, in several ways. Mr. Anowius, who appeared for the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury ; Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. SHEPHERD were with him. Edward John Heseltine was a clerk In the banking-house of Walker and Co., of Rotherham. Mr. Newman, the agent of Earl Fitzwilliam, paid into that house on the 24th of May 6,0001., to be paid to Messrs. Snow and Co., the bankers, in London, on account of the Noble Earl. The amount in ques tion was remitted in a letter to that house in three bank-notes for 500/. each, and the remainder in bills of exchange. Wit ness put the letter containing the property in the Post-office at nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and paid the postage. The bank-notes were written across with red ink. The bank note produced was one of the notes enclosed in the letter, the red ink on which was considerably obliterated. Cress-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Locked up the letter containing the money in his desk the night previous to putting it in the post-office. Messrs. Walker had two clerks with the exception of himself. Put the letter into the post-office on the Sunday morning, and was quite confident the money was in it at that time. By Mr. BARON A , DERSON-When he took the letter out of his desk the following morning it had the same appearance it had the night before. It was sealed with the seal of the office. Mary Chapman was the assistant of the post-office at Rotherham. Made up the post-bag for London on Sunday, Ist of June. Among the letters was one addressed to Messrs. Snow and Co., and one to Messrs. Barclay and Co. Both these letters were post-paid. The bank at Rotherham was in the habit of having an account with the post-office, and wit ness debited the bank with the postage of the two letters. The letters were sent in the regular course. John Hinton was a clerk in the General Post-office. On the 2d of June the Rotherham bag arrived safe in London. Witness found that the account of paid letters sent with the bag was correct, and put his initials upon it to that effect. Frederick Holland Cotton was a letter-carrier in the Post office. On the morning of the 2d of June, was the sorter of paid and franked letters. If there had been a letter on that day for Messrs. Snow, it would have been placed in the sth division. After the letters arc sorted, the letter-carriers are called, who take the letters to their own desks to sort them. The prisoner Goodwin was a letter-carrier of the sth division, and his seat was next to the letter-carrier who delivered the letters in Essex-street. Letters were often improperly sorted, and in such cases it was the duty of the letter-carrier either to return it or deliver it to the party to whom it was addressed. Cross-examined by Mr. Pniums—There were 250 letter carriers in the General Post-office, and an increase had lately taken place to the amount of 40 or 50. In consequence of this increase the room was enlarged, but the business of the Post-office was not carried on in the room while the improve ments were going on. Witness was not aware that any mis take had been made in the sorting of letters on the 2d of June. His walk on that day was Lincoln's Inn. The desk of every letter-sorter was separated by .a small partition. By Mr. Baron ALDERSON-Had no recollection of sorting any particular letters on the morning of the 2d of June. Thomas Boyden was the letter-carrier of the Essex-street division, in which the banking-house of Messrs. Snow and Co. was. That house had the early delivery, and it was the duty of witness to hand the early letters to a person named Powell, who was the early letter-carrier of that district. Letters some times after being sorted remained on his desk for an hour and a half. On the morning in question, the prisoner had the desk to his left, and a person named Archer had the desk to his right hand. Letters for Messrs. Snow would be sorted and placed on the left hand side of his desk. It would be quite easy for a person sitting on either side of his desk to take let ters off it. The partitions between the desks were for the purpose of preventinr , letters, after they were sorted, from mixing with one another. James Austin was assistant inspector of the letter-carriers in the General Post-office. The prisoner Goodwin was a let ter-carrier in that office on the 2d of June, and delivered letters in the Wych-street walk. James Powell was the early deliverer of letters in the Essex street walk. Received the letters from Boyden and delivered all that were for Messrs. Snow and Co. Charles Gubbins was the chief clerk in the banking-house of Snow, Paul, and Co. Received all the letters, which were placed on his desk. Sir John Paul generally opened all letters. No letter was received from Messrs. Walkers, of Rotheram, on the 2d of June. The name of their porter was Thomas Smith, who received the letters if they came earlier than nine o'clock. Thomas Smith, the porter of Messrs. Snow and CO., stated that on receiving the letters he laid them on Mr. Gubbins's desk. Sir John Paul was a partner in the house of Snow and Co. Opened the letters on the morning of the 2d of June, but there was no letter from Messrs. Walkers, of Rotherham. Witness was rather surprised at this, as Earl Fitzwilliam a few days previously had informed him that he had ordered his rents to be remitted to them. George Ruthven, the officer, of Bow -street, stated that on the 19th of June he was near Parker-street, Drury-lane. Saw the prisoners Ward and IT Sweeny come out of the Crown and Cushion in that street. An old man also came out with Ward and went to the Running Horse. ^ Ward returned to the Crown and Cushion. M' Sweeny and Ward then parted and witness directed. Ledbeater to watch him. On the follow ing day was in the Strand, and he there saw Ward and the old man go into the Queen's Head public-house. Witness watched them, and on their coming out followed them to Crown-street, Westminster. They went into a house and shortly afterwards they came out with M'Sweeny. Witness then followed them to the Plough in Beaufort-buildings. Laid hold of M' Sweeny and Ward and took them into the parlour. Witness asked what he had in his pocket, when M'Sweeny said I will shew you, and put his right hand into his pocket. He produced half a crown, a shilling, and sixpence. Witness on putting his hand into 114' Sweeny's left pocket, there found a Bank of England note for 500/. Witness asked him how he be came possessed of it, to which he said he was respectable ; that he was a gentleman, and had taken the note at a gambling house at the west end of the town. Nl' Sweeny declined tell ing witness where the gambling-house was. Said that he lived in Chelsea, but would not tell him where. On searching Ward, discovered part of the Times newspaper, with the advertisment with respect to the robbery cut out. Al' Sweeny said, looking to Ward, " Its all over—its all up. Jack, you are a d—d bad one all up your back." Ward said, "It is not me ; it must be the old one." Witness then took them to Bow-street. M'Sweeny said his name wds Swabey, and Ward gave his right name. After taking the prisoner in custody, went again to Crown-street, in company with Ledbeater and a person from the Post-office. Searched the house but found nothing. On returning, as they passed Downing-street, a gentleman seeing Goodwin, said, " I wonder where he is going." Led beater followed him, and from an intimation he had received, went again to No. 20, in Crown-street. Went up to the first floor, and the gentleman from the Post office, on seeing Goodwin, observed that he was sorry to see him there. To which Goodwin replied, " Yes." M' Sweeney's brother, who was resent, said, " It's a bad job ;" to which Goodwin said " es." Took M' Sweeney to Tothill-fields in a coach ; his brother and sister were with him. The brother pressed him to tell the truth, as he could not be a principal ; to which he said, " No, I am only the go-between--they have not got the right man yet :" and upon being further pressed, he said, " How can I look the world in the face and betray my friends ?" The advertisement in the Times newspaper, offering 1001. reward, was then put in and read. This witness underwent a severe cross - exa mination b y Mr. PHILLIPS, Mr. PRENDERGAST, and Mr. BODKIN, but his evi dence in chief was not shaken. George Ledbeater, the Bow-street officer, corroborated the evidence given by Rut hven. This witness was under examination when our Reporter left, and the trial appeared likely to occupy the whole day. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARAMS. ) Mary Griffiths and Sarah Davis were indicted for stealing some candles and two flasks of oil, th e p roperty o f H enry Green, of John-street, Soho. The prosecutor, an oil warehouseman, deposed that the prisoners were employed in his house ; shortly afterwards he missed the property, which, in consequence of information he received, was found in their possession, and they admitted it to be his.—Guilty. The Learned Sergeant sentenced the prisoner Griffiths to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and Davis to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. William Handcock and William Williamson were indicted for stealing a pair of boots, shirt, stockings, handkerchief, and other articles, the goods of William Lane. The prosecutor deposed, that on the evening of the 17th of July he went into the Rodney public-house, in Old-street, and asked for a bed ; he went into the room and fell asleep on the seat; when he awoke he missed a bundle of clothes, which he had laid by his side, and also 7id. in coppers, which he had in his pocket; the prisoner Handcock was sitting by his side w hen he awoke. . . John Holt saw the prosecutor go into the tap-room ; shortly afterwards the two prisoners and another went into the tap room, and sat down beside him , in about a quarter of an hour Williamson and another went out, and the jrosccutor said he was robbed; Ilandcock denied knowing any thing of the other persons ; the prosecutor's knife arid 71d were found in upon Castle in the City-road, and found Williamson with t h e re d Handcock ; witness went with a policeman to the W sor mainder of the property in his p o ssession. —Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT assured the pr soncrs that they would certainly be transported. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAT) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, SEPT. 5. —Wind W. S.
