(Prom the Halifax and Huddersfield Express.) it is with d ee p r e gret that we have to announce t he L , e‘ of Lewis Fenton, Esq., for Huddersfield, " i th took place y sterday morning ( Wednesday) , at his .„ irlence, Sp r ing Grove, near that town, under circum ;bees sof a very painful character.

Fenton l t 'ltterl his chamber, and went into his usual dressing- Pr °t n, on a higher story. Nothing unusual was observed „ °is manner. In about five minutes after he had gone Stairs, a female servant, who had just crossed the area 44, th e kitchen, heard something fall heavily behind her it 'd turning round, beheld the almost lifeless body ofher c uter, who bad fallen from the window of his dressing to. Every Every possible assistance was immediately rendered, a% the unfortunate gentleman had fallen on his head, : :ts symptom of consciousness was gone. Life, however, t itinued to linger till about 11 o'clock, when it fled fur itttr, Capt. Fenton has left a widow and two daughter s, in a it o lte of s u ff er i n g which may be better imagined than e x Nor are these the only persona who will acutely 1, 4 1 ) his premature decease.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.— Letters were received yesterday suiting the safe arrival of his Grace and suite in Paris. The Duke was expected to dine with his Excellency the English Ambassador and the Countess Granville yesterday ; and will' Louts Philip, the King of the French, to-day. The Duke and Duchess of Gordon arrived at Pitfour on Friday week. His Grace, with Captain Fere uson of Pitfour, and a small party, killed 143 head of game on the same day. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—The weather was most discouraging last night, and yet this favourite haunt of gaiety was extremely well attended. After the amus ing and well-acted burletta of Beulah Spa, a new comic drama, entitled Hush-Money, was produced, and was en•irely successful. It is full of lively and laughable equivoque, which, in the hands of Liston and Keeley, who played the two chief male characters, told admirably. Their exertions to " keep the auoience in a roar" were effectively seconded by Mrs. Orger and Mrs. Tayleure. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, WEDNES DAY, Nov. 27.—The Cotton-market is not so lively to day. The sales are about 3,000 bags, without change in prices, say 400 Maranhams, Sid. to Sid.-113oweds, 9d. to 91,1.—Bahias, Sd.—and Surats, sd. to 6d. per lb.

Many of the friends of the Ministry complain that they have hitherto neglected their interest in n , t giving "petits diners," as i the time of Pitt. —Morning Paper. HALIFAX MARKET.—The sales effected in stuff goods, at this market last Saturday, were more nume rous than important, as the merchants declined purchasing beyond what they had received orders for. which at this season of the year is generally limited.—Halifax Express. HUDDERSFIELD MAnKET.---This market last Tuesday was equally as brisk as that of the preceding week, and for woollen goods of a middle quality there was a good demand, and former prices fully maintained.— Halifax Express. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for stuff goods, at this market, last Thursday, was pretty good, but the merchants wanted them a shade lower than they had formerly given, which being universally refused, the transactions were rather limited, although they would average those done during the last three or four weeks.-- Halifax Express. The Mini.ter of Commerce and his newly made bride were present at the representation of M. Scribe's new comedy on Saturday, at the Theatre Francais, and seemed to enjoy the wit and satirical allusions of the dramatist quite as much as the rest of the audience.

On Tuesday night a meeting of the inhabi tants of Poplar, convened by the churchwardens, was held in the Town Hall, to consider the ado p tion of means for the repeal of the assessed taste , an d for relieving the parir.h from the heavy expenses of . the police. The cus tomary resolutions on such subjects wore agreed to. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, N0v.26 (Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register.) THE KING P. BARRETT, PROPRIETOR OF THE PILOT At hAlf-pist ten o'clock yesterday morning the Judges took their seats on the bench. Mr. MARTLEY, jun., opened the pleadings. Richard Barrett was indicted for a libel printed and published by him in a newspaper called the Pilot, of which he is the registered proprietor, on the Brh of April Iwo, The indictm.nt contained two counts. The first count set out the libel with the indictments ; the second count reversed the indictments and set out the libel. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL then rose and said—Al% Lords, and Gentlemen of the Jury, the publication which, we say contains this libel purports to he a letter addressed to the people of Ireland, by Mr. Daniel O'Connell. And here, my Lords and Gentlemen of the Jury, I cannot avoid expressing my deep satisfaction, that after un exampled difficulties I am at last enabled to submit to that tribunal the question whether this be or he not a libel. I have alluded, Gentlemen, to the length of time, during which I have been endeavouring to have this ques. tion tried, and as that delay and length of time, though not a legitimate matter of defence, may be made an invidious topic of observation before you, I now beg ' leave to state, in the hearing of the public in your presence, the circumstances which caused this delay, and they are these—that from the day on which th , indictment was found by the Grand Jury, my exer tions have been unceasing to have the case submitted to a jury of the country ; there has not, I aver, been a day or hour lost on the part of the crown, and when 1 say so I beg leave to follow up that assertion by simply detailing to you what the course of proceeding has been, on which you will be satisfied that so far as the power of the crown could avail, this is the first instance in which I was able to bring the case before a jury. The bills were found in the last Easter tet in, and from the time at which the defendant pleaded, it was impossible to have a trial sooner than Trinity term, and even if I had tried it as a ease at Nisi Prius, I could not have it tried sooner than the 13th of June. But, gentlemen of the jury, I did, in concurrence with my learned friends, who ati,i4 me on this prosecution, come to the conclusion, that it was a vise fit and proper to be tried by the full court, at bar, and knowing how very urgent the business of the court was in Trinity term last, I did not think it right t 9 avail myself of the picrogative which the crown pcsses , es to have it tried in that term ; but I did apply for trial at bar, and I called upon the Court to fix the earliest day that it could appoint for the trial out of term, which was the 13th of June, and on that day I appeared in court to pro secute on behalf of the crown, and I need hardly tell you that it was not my fault that the trial did not take place. On that day there was not a sufficient attendance of jurors ; then, from the 13th of June to the 2d of November, I need scarcely tell you, being the long vacation, it was impossible for me to take one step, and having declined to call on the Court to try the case in term, I did not fail, when Michaelmas term came on, to call on the Court, as soon as I possibly could, to fix a day for the trial. I made that application ; and in doing so I called on the Court to appoint the earliest day after term, which day is that on which I have the honour to address you. Gentlemen of the jury, it is now right to call your attention to the publication in question ; that publication, as I have already stared, took place on the Bth of April last, and it is contained in a letter, purporting to be written in London on the 4th of the same in estli ; and it would appear to me that the immediate occasion of the writing of that letter was the passing of the Act of Parliament which is usually called the Coercion 13i11, which received the Royal A-sent on the 2d of April, and which was, therefore, the law of the land at the period when this letter was written. Gentlemen, the circumstances under which that Act was passed are too recent in our recollections to be forgotten ; it is a severe and unconstitutional Act. Its character was never denied by any person who voted for it ; but the vindication of it as a measure was vested on the paramount duty of those who had the prerogative and the power to protect the King's subjects. And when I speak of the necessity of this measure, I do not refer to matters outside of this record, for it is a most singular circumstance, that in the composition which is the sub ject of the present indictment, I find that measure recom mended in stronger language than I could use. Listen, my Lord, to one paragraph of this publication. The first paragraph is this:—" This measure is for the suppression of the Whitefeet—that is the last name used by those mis creants—those demoniacs, who are guilty of murder and other crimes, demanding the vengeance of man, and also bringing down the punishment of God." Now, gentle. men, you will be pleased to keep in your minds this sub ject, that it is the vengeance of man the writer of this letter would call dOwn on those who are guilty of those crimes which he has designated. Yet, my Lords and Gentlemen, the writer of this letter goes on in the very next paragraph to describe this Act as one of unqualified despotism and tyranny, and having done so, he draws this conclusion, and inculcates this lesson—that the legisla ture, which was then capable of such an act of despotism, are sufficiently alien from the country as no longer to he trusted or confided in, and the people of Ireland are for. bidden hereafter to place any reliance on the humanity or justice of the imperial legislature. I will now, Gentlemen of the Jury, having said so touch, call your attention to the words of this libel, and which warrants the imputation which the indictment charges. That indictment chat ges, that this was written for the purpose of creating hostility between the King's subj eta and Ireland, causing it to he believed that the rights of the King's subjects in Ireland are neglected by the legislature, and that they are oppressed and injured, so as to engage in acts of i n subordination, and by means of intimidation, to carry into elf et the re peal of the Union. This is the language of this indict ment, but it is not necessary that you shout i find all the indictments ; it will be sufficient if any one of those impu tations are found. The Right Hon. Gentleman here read the libel, and commented on it as lie proceeded, and concluded by calling on the jury not to be influenced by any consideration but their own sound judgment. He felt that the jury would act like conscientious and honour. able men, and he would, therefore, commit the case to them with entire confidence and satisfaction, at having at last brought it before the tribunals of the country. Mr. Vernon (Registrar of newspapers in the Stamp Office), was produced, for the purpose of proving that the defendant was the registered proprietor of the Pilot. Mr. O'Cosislict.t. wished to know if be would be per mitted to ask for what reason the gentleman was produced, because if it were to prove that Mr. Barrett was the proprietor of the Pilot, he (Mr. O'Connell) would save him that trouble by at once, and unequivocally admitting, that his client was the proprietor ; he was not ►ooking for nonsuit points. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, there was another point on which he would wish to ask the witness one question, and it was this—Did the witness understand the " Anglesea Algerine Act" to mean the 3d of William the Fourth. Mr. O'CoNNELL—It means, my Lord, that very Act which the Attorney-General called unconstitutional.— (Laughter.) The Learned Gentleman then said, that before the alleged libel was road, he would wish that the Court would direct the officer to bring in the record of the last trial, inasmuch as doing so now, would save trou ble hereafter. The record was then handed to the defendant's counsel. Mr. SHELL said, that on an inspection of the record, it appeared to him, and those conceined with him, that the Court bad no authority to proceed ; there was no con,inu ance entered on the record. There was no mention made of the venire or distringas in the record. Mr. PIGOTT said that the defendant pleaded on the 3d of May. The continuance was until the 23d of May ; there was then a continuance down to the 13th of June, and if their Lordships were now sitting on the 13th of June, the record would be good ; but now their Lordships were sitting on the 26th of November, and that could not be a record, which the Court was now made to try; there was no avowed jury process, the record stopped on the 13th of June last, and, therefore, under those circumstances, it appeared to Counsel for the defence that the Court had no authority to try the defendant. CHIEF JUSTICE..— Ile cause stopped on the 13th June? Mr. O'CotisteLL—Yes, my Lord, there was nothing about it since ; there it ends, and there it ought to end.— (Laughter.) Mr. WouLFE, K.C., followed in support of the point relied on by his Learned Colleague. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied, and after some dis cussion the Court ruled that the trial should proceed ; and that if the objection were well founded, it could be made use of in arrest of judgment. Mr. O'CoNstesi, then rose to address the Jury. Gentle. men of the Jury, said he, I own I feel not a little anxiety about this trial. It is a contest in which we are all strug gling, and this trial is but a part of that contest. It is not a question of crime or offence ; but it is part of the struggle which they are making, who seek to turn Ireland from a province into a nation. A part of the controversy which leads to that end, is carried on here. The Administration feel, and I feel, that part of the struggle now making for the regeneration of Ireland, is to be decided here. Some of you have seen Ire land a province; you, too, have beheld her a nation, and I trust that you will see Ireland a nation again. This trial is but an attempt, on the part of the Whig Ministry, to endeavour to prevent us peaceably, quietly, tranquilly, !lid, above all, by a combination with each other, to effect , he regeneration of Itel ind• In their attempt to do this, •hey think they can se' off one class of Irishmen against he other. One time they insult the Oraneemen of the North, and at a nother the Repealers of the South—that -b e y c a n play off Catholic against Protestant—at one mo ment dismissing a magistrate, and at another pulling down 'he liberty of the press; and thus, by setting off outrage against outrage---both perpetrated against Irishmen, they can rule and domineer over the country. I have now the honour to address jurymen, eleven out of twelve of whom ire Irishmen ; and I ask them will they lend their - nuntenance to any proceedings of this description ? As to the merits of the prosecution, the Attorney- General can have nought to do with them ; as to i f s lemerits, lie is perfectly free of them. From the manner n which lie addressed the Jury, it seemed to me, my Lord s , as if his powers had failed him—those powers which he certainly has not lost ; but which seemed to 'anguish before the task that was imposed upon him. I tdmit that he did his duty; hut be did not go beyond the strict letter of his duty. This is a Cabinet prosecution. His Excellency the Marquis Wellesley is now our chief governor ; he is fond of prosecutions—he has tried them iiefore, and they ended with no great renown—they ter minated then in " a bottle of smoke."—(Laughter.) That was the bottle treason. He is rising in dignity. It is not yet high treason to call for a repeal of the Union. Do you, however, but sanction this pro secution with the authority of your verdict, and it will be high treason before we are six months °leer. Nothing is laid in the four long skins of parchment, that comprise the indictment, of intention to libel the Whiz., and yet the se rongest passaeen contained in the alleged libel are thr ew which censure ihe Whigs, and above all, the sting contained in it is, that there is no satisfying Lord Plunket. Your verdict is now desirable to the Whigs. The post 'tf yesterd os told us of a chance of administration. The new s comes to us through more than one channel. How admirably convenient a verdict would now be to the Whig administration ! How useful to a declining admi nistration if they could point to your verdict, and say that it sanctioned their acts, and was a proof of how po pular they are in Ireland—acting against earls party, and independent of all. It is a sad story, gentlemen, that of our unfortunate country. Some of us are too young to remember 1782—1 was a child myself, like most of you, at that period. It was the first (aod inch recollections will come upon us) it was the first year that I put down in writing—the memory of it is still engraver, on my mind. It was a period of joy and of merriment, and would that such a period could, as I believe it can, again he revived. Could I indulge in the hope of seeing ano ther opening of Parliament in the city of Dublin, it would be the closing of your mendicity shop—it would be giving wages to every one of those who are now un employed—it would b: ing to their properties from sixty to eighty noblemen—it would cause two hundred of the ' highest of our gentry to have their habitations in Dublin, and their residences perpetu .fly in Ireland— it would confide the care of our trade, manufactures, and commerce, not to the rival of jealousy, or local prejudices of hostile establishments, but it would place over them guardians such as you are, and men like you. Can we look to these advantages, or to any of them, a nd all I expect would follow, from the day that we would see a Parliament in College green, its opening attended by crowds, who would bless the connection with England, for it would then be blessed; and who would then obtain from the fostering guardianship of a domestic Legislature, that protection which I never expect to see until we have our Pirliatnent in Ireland again. Gentlemen of the Jury, are you prepared to stand between Ireland and these ad vantages? It is because such an object is sought for, that this publication is prosecuted. Look to this publi cation—look to it from one end to the other, and see what are the leiding topics. I do call upon you to do that which the Attorney-General has done— to pick out a particular passage and view it by itself, not to weigh a single phrase by itself. Look at the publication altogether. We are not, and ought 'not to weigh in scales of gold, particular phrases, when we are looking to make a great people a nation. The Attorney• General, in his address to you, has imputed motives—that was his duty. He has, too, in reading the document, quarrelled with the words Algerine Act, and he has told you that there was great impropriety in applying such epithets to an Act of Parliament. Perhaps there is—perhaps it is not good taste ; but did you ever hear of such a thing as " the Russell purge?" Did you ever hear of the " Church Robbery Bill?" Will he call on you for a verdict against the man who uses such phrases? Now, if in this country of revolutions and strange chang s, it should by any chance occur that I were for any one moment filling the office- which he now fills—(Laughter)—if that should so chance, and that I with my feeble mind, and very inadequate abilities were discharging those duties which he now performs, and that there was in that box a jury exclusively of Roman Catholics, and I called upon you to find a verdict against a defendant, because he had been so monstrously audacious as to call that Bill I have adverted to, a " Church Robbery Bill"—is there one of you who listened to me on such an occasion, who w. old not bless the Whigs for having given you such an " Attorney General ?"—(Loud laughter.) When the Attorney• General declared that he was not to blame fir the trial not coming en sooner, I will say, that the publisher of this letter took no step to retard it. The Attorney-General is not to blame ; but have you watched the proceedings in this case ? On Saturday there appeared in the newspapers a requisition, with the signatures of ~2 individuals, calling for a discussion on the repeal of the Union, and a petition to Parliament on the subject. On the Monday morning following, the Attorney-General app e ars in Giurt, and applies for a day to be fixed for this trial. Do you understand that ? Is there one amongst you who dues not understand those proceedings ? In the North the Whigs strike a magistrate off the roll, and they will not gra ify a brother magistrate by telling why they did so. Why, what is this doing more than they do in Algiers ? but with this difference, that they strike off the head, and if another asks the reason, they strike hie head also ; while here they only strike one magistrate off the roll, and strike off another magistrate because he merely asks the reason.—(Laughter.) They must think us mad when they think they can get us to ald them. Can you now, then, tell the meaning of this prosecution? The real object is to suppress , if p ossible, all agitation on th e subject of the repeal of the Union. And I new ask you, i s it a crime to agitate that question ? The Union is but an Act of Parliament—is it not right to di-cuss it? This I tell you, that if yoes prohibit discussion in one in stance, the chalice you have prepared for another will, with its poisonous ingredients, be commended to your own lips. —(Mr. O'Connell then repeated the libel and commented en it as he went along, delenting its tene and spirit with much eloquence and animation.) The Evening Mail asks, " What advantage has Ireland itained from the Union ?" It is a proper question, and never yet has been answered until this day. This prosecution is the answer. Our properties, our lives, and our liberties, never can be cafe rill they are un , er the guardianship of a domestic legisla • cure, and over which there shall be the control of the public eye. The desire for repeal originates in no wish for separation. My opinion is, that to prevent sepirarinn c i mT s oha b ane y t no r c e ru : een e ;n a eue l r,cnyati connection t rt h ti: a ea t enuon t n h moi e tri,n only way to attach the connexion in the minds of the rising generation is by that measure say that purpose, Whenought e it e not—to t g - 1 b ; d o e ble will for repealed. n t o t ,a s carried, and it it cannot be brought about in that manner, no good man will wish for repeal ; and accordingly you will rind throughout this letter this idea incessantly impressed upon the reader, the necessity—the absolute tgnyaeentmuedhnot remember ‘icy9mtoohohneueo:i:bkei stateknn combining fwf e ot v ri rl e aia r td y eri et irepeal class alni7 oawl Ireland nd?d thepp party of j o u, jeLnt l oe r d i s tu Ihht to y n umo e ne c uoj e o s r: s eo i t be . going . along the o b wn a a ra st k ie sr b if the Dodder a few days since a o engaged ks o in f thatthe r paper iver, ttrhaed sites of t P"r h °l ir nt t it e ea e d n ir° cliff rent manufactories which existed in 1800; there are now but four of them.

" Argument anti rea• c oning are over. The inevitable conclusion is arrived at. 13efore the repeal of the Union no good can be done for Ireland —until the repeal of the Union Ireland can reap but little benefit from British connection. I repeat, that those who oppose the repeal are blindly and ignorantly, but not the less p ower f u ll y or cer t a inly, driving towards separation. To us, who are not at present separatists, and never will be its if we can he p it—to toi, who honestly seek the restorati on o f I r i s h f ree dom and the establishment of Irish prosp er i t y, b u t one duty—one great all ab sorbing dut y effectuate the restoration of the Irish Parliament." remains—it is, peaceably and le g all y to This, Gentlemen of the ury, is a libel ! Peaceably sod legally to effectuate the restoration of the Irish Parliament," 'is a sentiment indicted as a libel, and yeti, ipso your oaths, are eine(' upon to decide so. There is but one problem to he solved—that is, the mode or legally and peaceably accomplishing our object." Will you helieve it now, that you are asked upon your oaths to de clare that it is by intimidation the repeal of the Uninn is sought for—that it is sought for by this publication to carry it by intimidation and force ? This is the questi.in which you have to try. Good God Is it not too bad? a All we want to know is, the manner of doing the thing. Tlie thing itself is inevitable ; so inevitable, indeed, that the ' Anglesea Algerine Bill,' instead of retarding the progress of the repeal, has to a demonstration greatly pro moted its ultimate and most satisfactory success. This demonstration I will take up a little later. For the pre sent I content myself with some preliminary topics. I n the first place, it may be a matter of surprise to some that with ail the madness of slavery upon me, I should write with as much of cool calmness." I enter into the feehnes nithe writer completely. What was the unconstitutional law that had been passed ? It was one that had been passed by men who held office because they announced themselves as the putifiera of the constitution--tnen who trampled down every thing that had the rust of antiquity upon it—rust which I certainly will not call venerable, but they were men who declared that in order to arrive at the principle of purifying, as they called, the constitution, no chartered rights were safe, and they beat down every thing of ancient practice. They rendered uncertain every property which was certain the day before. In England, where money commands everything—where if it does not constitute a divinity, it at least " makes the man"—in England, where Lord Monson had given 150.0001. for the estatc of &than, sold it, since the Re form Bill passed, for 30 0001.—suppose an individual was so injured, by this Ministry, in what they called their de sire for reform and their determination for change, what would you expect from them? Oh, they say, we are models of perfection—we are models of everything that is extremely useful—we are the men who are desirous of doing sway with every Opine, and yet, iniste id of acting up to their professions they sanction the passing of an Act, which they said but a few months before would he unne cessary, and that Act one which takes from the subject the right of appealing to Parliament. Surely such conduct could not but disgust men who entertain my opinions, and when you think so, you cannot censure the writer for saying that lie speaks in calmness when be alludes to an Act of Parliament, which the At torney-General himself has called an unconstitutional Act. I console myself, and am consoled by the certainty that the great measure of national regeneration is advanced by the actions of our worst and most malignant enemies in every part of the British empire. Our friends, and the friends of liberty in Great Britain, are up, in heart, courage, and generous sympathy ; and the very meaatue which was intended to crush the agitation of the repeal, actually makes the repeal irresistible. That is true, per fectly true. With the exception of the allusion to Lord Anglesea and Lord Plunket, there is no expression in the letter which can be called a personal libel ; or it is not complained of as turning them into ridicule, in the im puting of bad motives. The indictment is free from any thine of that kind. After Mr. O'Connell had concluded, amidst loud ap plduse, the Judges left the bench, and the immense crowd which thronged the Court soon dispersed. (From the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday.) The Court assembled this morning, at half past ten, and the Jul y having been called civet, The SOLICITOR•GENERAL proceed-d with his address to the Jury, in reply to Mr. O'Connell. The Learned Gentleman concluded his speech, by denying thst ti e present was a Whig prosecution. The time, he said, hsd arrived, when all differences between Woig and Tory should c ase—and it required the united t Title of all honest men to stem the tide of Rsdicslism, which thiew ent'd to overwhelm all the institu,ions of the country. The Learned Gentleman did not conclude his appeal to the Jury until one o'clock. The CHIEF JUSTICE then proceeded to charge the Jury, and said they had but one question to decide—namely, whether the pubication had the tendency to produce the effects charged in the indictment, or whether it did not transeress the liberty of the press. It was the province of the Jury to judge of this. It was the undoubted libert) of the press to discuss the policy of either passing or repealing Acts of Parliam-nt. The indictment charged that the publication was published with intent to excite hostility between his Alsjesty's subjects in England and It eland, and stir up the people of Ireland, by intimidation, to effect the repeal of the Union. It also charged the publication with bringing into contempt the 3d William IV. if the publication had that tendency, it could not he protected by the liberty of the press. Toe question was exclusively for the Jury to inquire whether the pub lication had that tendency or not ; and it was not the intention of the Court to interfere with them, confident as they were that they would discharge their duty con scientiously. The Jury then retired, and having continued in delibe ration tor about a quarter of an hour, returned with a verdict of—Guilty. with a recommendation to mercy. The CHIEF JUSTICE then inquired whether there were any objections on the part of the Crown, to permit the traverser to stand nut until next term ? Mr. Sergeant PENNEFATHER. said he should not offer auy opposition. REPEAL AGITATION. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, Nov 27.—(Two o'Cnocic.)—A verdict of Guilty has just been returned against Mr. Barrett, in the King's Bench, for publishing the first of the Dictator's series of letters us the repeal of the Union. The interest excited by this case, which has occupied the Court the greater part of three days is intense. It was a trial at bar for libel against the proprietor and publisher of the Pilot newspaper, for having on the Bth day of April last published a letter, signed Daniel O'Connell, purporting to to a commentaryon the Coercion Bill just then enacted ; but " inculcating," as was alleged, " principles and lessons of disaffection." Proceedings had i.een commenced immadiately after the publication of the letter; and a trial at bar was fixed for the 13th of June last ; but there being a defect of jurors on that day, it was unavoidatily, as the law officers of the Crown contend, postponed until after this term. The circum stance excited much curiosity and conjecture at the time ; and being, as is understood, unprecedented in the legal history of this country, it was generally supposed to have been a compromise ; and that nothing further would be done in the matter. This impression prevailed until the 18th of this month, when the Attorney-General moved the Court, pursuant to a recent statute, to fix a day for its final determination. Yesterday was accordingly ap pointed toy the Court ; and notwithstanding an application by Mr. Shell on Monday to set aside the whole proceed ings, on account of irregularity in the jury process, the trial commenced before a full bench of Judges, and twelve respecoahle Protestant jurymen. It had been rumoured for some days past, that O'Connell should take no part in the defence, but that Mr. Sheil was to have its entire management. At the cernmence inent of the trial, however, the former gentleman made his appearance, as if unwilling to afford the latter an opportunity for sach display as the occasion suggested . The newspapers will supply you with the speeches and details of this important case. I only anticipate them by a hasty sketch of its more prominent features. The At orney-General stated the case in that cool, clear, con cise, and chasoely.eli quent style, for which he is remark able. Not one sentence of aggravation was added to the words of the indictment, except such as: were ingeni. ously selected from the letter' its, If, which formed the subject of prosecution. He said, the Coercion Bill was admitted by Ministers themselves to be "a severe and unconstitutional measure; and such as " imperative ne cessity" alone would justify them in bringing forward. That necessity was admitted by the author of the letter. who, in speaking of the Whitefeet, said, they had stained by their outrages the country with a " turpitude" which called forth the " vengeance of man." And yet, said the Learned Gentleman, in that very letter, which thus hap pily defines the state of things which constituted the " necessity of a severe law ; we find the law itself charac terized as an act of unqualified despotism and tyranny." He concluded by denying that the prosecution was perse vered in for the purpose of putting down discussion on the repeal of the Union. The speech of Mr. O'Connell, for the defendant, is regarded by those acquainted with that gentleman's forensic eloqu e nc e , as a specimen of his best and greatest efforts. He beg .n ny asserting that it was a Cabinet prosecution, fur the sole purpose of putting down discussion on repeal, through the instrutnentality of a jury ; an .l declared his willingness to grapple with it on that issue. He then in a fervid and forcible strain of abuse poured forth a torrent of vituperation collected from all his former letters and speeches on the Whig Ministry—read the entire of the letter which was the subject of the prosecution, and com mented on it, paragraph by paragraph—rejoicing. as it were, in the opportunity for repeating all that he has hitherto said and written in favour of repeal. This part of the speech was heavy and prosing. Not so the con clusion, in which be quoted the opinions of several distin- ~. . , gamed intim:dealt against the Union before it took place. Among these were extracts from a speech of Mr. Bombe, and a pamphlet of Mr. Jelib; both gentlemen then before him as Judges of King's Bench, and feim an anti-1.1 , 6-o eiieecii of Mr. Plunket, now Lord Plunket, Chancellor of Ireland. He contrasted their tan g o tge against the ineasn re with his own for its repeal, an d b e sought the Jury not to punish his client for sen•iinents which had been so eloquently promulgated by the highest ornam , nts of this country long before. After the delivery of Mr. O'Connell's speech, which occupied three hours and a half the Court adjourned, at The request of the Jury, till this morning. The Solicitor-General, in his reply. denied that the the law, and 'he proteetien of his Maj est y' s subj-cta. from prosecution had goy other ob j ect than the vindication of the illusion and coneequ-nt milsehirf and injure which an individual of great talent and influence might diffuse the chase er, through the country, if publications df will the 'denature which this bore, flowed to cir culate with impunity. Ir was not the ac t of o:llsanshin a n d —it emanated from no Whig or Tory feeling or pritivig —hut from the conscientious discharge of his duty by the Attorney-General, who wished to save his countrymen from despotism of a new order; from the car of a dicta torial tyranny, which attempted to bear down every party and sect that would not join in the mad cry of radicalism and wild and undefined revolution. "It is time," said the Selicitor-General, "for honest men of every p i ety and persuasion to unite against a licentiousness which. under the pretext of improving the country, would only demo ralize its people, and retard the progress of improvement and rational reform." The Chief Justice charged the Jury briefly ; telling them the liberty of the pre-s and of the subject were the same—both were free to discu-e and comment upon any stoject they pleased, provided that, in doing so, no public or private mischief was effected. The Jury, in giving in their verdict, recommended defendant to mercy ; and, with the content of the Crown Counsel, he was allowed to stand out, on his recogni zance', until the first day of next term. It was stated in Court that the Attorney-General was his morning confined to bed by sudden illness. LIBEL LAW. (From the Brighton Guardian.) THE KING v. COHEN. In order that the (pi stion may be properly undiirstooil e we must recapitulate the early proc-edings in this cans The proceeding was by indic-ment, the bill to the grand jury of the March Assizes, 1832, being presented person ally by Mr. Mabbott, he being both a Magisttate and a member of that jury, which reckoned at the time 2t Magistrates among the 23 persons of whom it West composed. The bill so presented charged a libel on the magistrates of Sussex.—that is to say, on the 20 magie trates then present and on their 180 colleague. ; it also charged inciting the oppressed labourer tii acts of vio lence; and this grand jury of maeisrratee returned a ue bill after so scanty an inquiry, that it may he truly said there was no inquiry at all Nay, we have tern assured by one of the gentlemen present, that the right in the grand jury to inquire in o the merits of the charge was stoutly rsisted, it being asserted that the mere proof of publication was all that it was necessary to lay Ii tore the grand jury to justify the finning of the true b:II. T e consideration of the questions,—" libel or no ithel ?"—" the existence or the non-existence of t:l* motives charged ?" were, it was said, to he determined on the trial. Now, we must here he allowed to say that the gentl men who submitted to this dictation, and who t , us allowed their own judgment to he set -it naught. were either unacquainted with the duties of their appttintinent, or failed theinse i in themselves oea e no in ta g ig t i h t e n a a n t ( h i t u )y which they had iceddi.e b rue d ~;,,,f them. It is, we apprehend, the duiy of the grand jury to be sati-fi d that the warty prosecuting can st least "rake out a prima ficie case against Limp rty charged. If we have been riehrly 'wormed, the grand jury in this case was not so satisfied; and conscquenily the obligation volunta rily undertaken by them was not redeemed. And in this particular case the neglect was the more unparilmianie, b icause the gentlemen composing the grand joy were themselves interested parties—they were, in fact, prosecu tors, and they constituted themselves judges in the first instance—they complained of a wrong done to their rept . t ition, and they hastened to condemn ; and, according to our view of the matter, they thereby violated one of the most important attributes of justice. Nor does the mis chief stop here ; they have assisted in discrediting the ad ministration of the laws. Had they insisted on that stria t inquiry which it was their duty to institute, they would in all probability have refund their sanction to a proceeding whii h has been condemned by the independent as opprera. sive, and even by the timid as most impolitic, and which, by being carried vindictively to its legal termination, has not a little damaged the reputatiou of institutions which it is unwise in the possessors of power to force under the rigid scrutiny of the governed. The true bill being obtained, the defendant sought to change the venue,—that is to say, to take from out of the sphere of influence possessed by the 200 magistrates of Sussex the trial of a question in the result of which those magistrates were deeply interested. In this applica tion, which was to the Court of King's Bench, ihe def , ndant was unsuccessful, although the Court which rejected his application was compelled to admit its pro priety by refusing to allow the prosecutor his cons And it must be here frankly stated that this application to take the trial out of Sus-ex was made in the anticipation ; borne out by the result, that the prosecutor would violate.— legally, of course—one of the boasted privileges of Eriglieli men. We say advisedly that he violated this important privilege legally, because we desire to show that, except perhaps in some questions of life or death in which the peasant and the peer are equally protected, the law sides with the rich to the disadvant ige of the poor. The prosecutor, who is wealthy, struck a special jury, at the expense to him of some 251. or 301. ; and by this sacr fine to the rapacity of our hungry courts, he was allowed to strip the defendant of the protec tion which a "jury of his peers" would have thrown around him. The defendant's station in life ranks him among common jurors ; and if the excellent principtc that a man shall be tried by his squall had not in this instance been virtually blotted out by the wealth of the prosecutor, the trial of the defendant would have taken place before a common jury. It was on the reputation, the property, and Vie liberty of Mr. Cohen, and net of Mr. Mabbutt, the jury were empannelled to decide. Had the converse been the fact, and had Mr. Mabbott struck a special jury, it would not have been competent for his prosecutor to have had him tried and condemned by a common jury. Mr. Mabbott would have insisted on the privile:e of being tried by his peers, or equals, and the law would have yielded to his just demand. He must, it is true, have paid for enjeying the privilege. Ties tier, however, only serves to set in a, stronger light the alarming truth, that the law—that law which we are enjoined to respect and reverence—bestows its smiles on the possess ors of wealth. The defendant being thus deprived of the privilege of being tried by his peers, the case went to a special jury at Lewes on July 31, 1833, when the foreman announced, as it appeared to us with no trifling inward eatieftction, the unanimous verdict of the jury. It might have been the gentleman's manner; but to our inquiring, and per haps prejudiced senses, his eagerness, anti the tone ofvoice in which he uttered the words " My Lord, we are all agreed," conveyed the idea of the triumph of a political e temy. The circumstances which we have above detailed, and the almost indecent haste with which the grand jury re turned a true bill, impressed us a. the rime with the belief that the prosecution proceeded from the magistracy, and we think we shall not he required to apologize for having arrived at that conclusion. The communications, how ever, which we subseque n tly rece i ve d, an d t h e re s u lt of the inquiri s we felt it our duty to institute, soon corrected the error under which we laboured ; and the impro.ed impression we then received was fully confirmed on the trial, when Mr. Sergeant Spankie, addressing the jury, said—" I appear, however, for a private preercutnt, whose duty is painful, but to whom society is deeply indebted." In the Court of King's Bench, on Saturday-week, the None Mr. Sergeant Spankie insisted that the prose cution bad been instituted by " the magistrates," who, lie added, appeared by " their solicitor, the clerk of the peace." The new comedy at the Ad:lphi Theatre, for go we may call it, improves each night on repe ition. It certainly required mumi tact on be aathor'a part to divist it of tl.e grossness of Fauhide, but be Dd. completely suc ceeded in doing co.
