PHUT OP THE runuc JOURNALS, His Majesty yesterday closed the session of Par liament in person, with a speed), which will b e found in the report of the. Parliamentury proceed. logs. It is expected that an Extraordinary Gazette, published this evening, will couture the order for the dissolution of Parliament. His Majesty's speech will be read with pleasure by -every men who - has one spark of loyalty or patriotism. There is through out not merely a manly simplitity, but a cordial warmth, 10 characteristic- of the Royal Speaker, that we persuade ouradves that, contrary to usage, his Majesty not merely spoke but wrote the speech, subject of course to the opinion of Ms responsible advisers. We acknowledge with sincere end un doubting respect the Royal declaration, that his Ain jeaty " ascends the throne with a deep sense of the warred duties. which devolve upon him," - We had 'with the liveliest pleasure und the most perfect con fidence the Royal promise, tint we may rely upon ,-- his Majesty's " prudent and economical Adreinistrau tion of the supplies placed at his disposal, and upon 'his readiness to concur in every diminution of the public charges _which, can be effected consistently with the dignity of the Crown, the maintenance of maimed faith, end the pettreinent interest of the country." But the concluding passage of thespeech is the one to which we invite particular attention: it nas delivered with an eurnes,,,ess and solemnity worthy of the just and important sentiments , which it expresses:— " You have removed the civil disqualifications which af rected numerous and important classes of my subjects. " While I declare on this solemn occ:ision my flied in. tendon to maintain, to this utmost of my power, the Pro testant reformed religion eat thlished by law, let me at the same time express toy eat nest hope that the animosities which have prevailed on account of religions distinctions may be forgotten, and that tie decision of P.trliament with respect to those thstinctiona . having been irrevocably pro noun)cll, my faithful subjects will unite with Ins in ad, wanting the great object contemplated by the Legislature, and in promoting that 'pith of domestic concord and peace which constitutes the surest basis of our national strength and happiness,' Let these words be impressed on the mind of every mite, public or private, throughout the king dom. Let them he observed with the same care which the pious Hebrew devoted to the preserve. tion of his sacred phylactery, They contain, in a brief space, the great and paramount duty which is devolved upon us all, as loyal subjects, as patriots,. as Christians. His Majesty, in his progress to the House of Lords, and on his return, was greeted wi t h more ardent and unanimous marks of attachment than we have ever before witnessed. The assem blage of people was also more numerous and re spectable than is ordinarily brought together in the public streets. Such is the Incoming—such the na tural effect of straightforward, unaffected mintier:— of generous and manly conduct, on a high-minded and discriminating people. The English are a re flecting and just, but they are also a warm-hearted and confiding nation, and their , sincere and enthe siastic homage may always be acquired and securer by a patriot King.-7lmes. The restoration of Sir Robert Wilson to his rank in the army, of which be had been moat oppres 'lively deprived wubmit the intervention of u Court Martial, is an act highly creditable to his Majesty, and will, we believe, give equel satisfaction to the army and the peode. Of the political career of the Uidlunt General we profess no peculiar admira tion; but to the praise of a brave and zealous officer his services, honourably acknowledged they were by foreign. Powers, eminently entitled bioL But, we ask, what merit—what distinguished achievements—what length of service—can protect an tauter against causeless and capricious expulsion from his profession as long as the power of dismissal without trial is recognised as a legitimate part of the government of the army ? This is a principle * 0 opposed to reason and justice, and calculated to be so detrimental to the service, that we require to have better proofs than we have ever yet even ndvanct.d to induce us to be. lieve in its legality. What can be more tyran nical than such a power ? What can be more de grading to the feelings of pliant men than the con. seiousness of the state of slavish dependence to which it reduces them ? When objection to this odious principle, which condemn without a hearing, is attempted to be got over by stating that it is part of the Royal prerogative, we ask who really exercises the power which le nominally ascribed to the King ? It is the successful politician who hap. pens to be at the head of the Administration of the day. He, by his advice, either to gratify his per s.mal malice or political hatred, makes the Sovereign the instrument of inflicting on any officer he selects as his victim the grievous injustice of military pro- scription I Thus Sir Robert Wilson, et a time of great political excitement, incurred the displeasure of the Minister of the day ; his name was eruct from the Army List without any cause being shown —without any opportunity of being heard in his defence. la vain did he call for a Court-martial ; in vain did he court investigation ; in vain dal he challenge the inquiry of Parliament. The Minister did not even concede to him the formality ofdefenee which the " Holy inquisition" grants to those who are denounced by its " Farn:liars," Whatever Was the secret or avowed charge against him, no cause was proved-tie tribunal that passed sentence scorned to oblerve any regard far even the decorous formalities of persecution. His name was obli terated from the list of . British Generals withless ceremony than a footm an of the .Hoyal Household could be dismissed, The public tried " Shame 1" and the Minister reiterated " Prerogaive," Thus the vindictive politician crushed an adversary, and', his Royal Master had to sustain the odium of the unconstitutional transaction. We hope that his Majesty, who has repaired this wrong, will not limit his ;terminus interposition to the Vise of Sir Reber, Wilson Moue, butt restore to his lost rank every officer, whether of the=turmy or navy, whose name het been erased Without a regular trial, The case of. Colonel Bradloy, for instance, is one fresh it. the recollection of the public, arid no less deserving of the Royal consideration. There no cause was shown—no Court-Martial could be obtained; and a most meritorious officer, efter, We believe, more then 20 years of mosearduous service, was deprived of the profession in which he hint deeervedly risen to honourable rank. Whenever an officer is dire. miaowl from the army without a court-merfal, we may be sure that melevolence itself can establish no case against him by proof, or he would be put upon his trial, for even Ministers of Stew do not lik e to appear tyrannical when they can destroy an individual who has incurred their displeasure with. out violating the forme of just ice.—Morning !erald. Few, if any, public bodies appear to have shown so great a disregard of economy in the expenditure of the public money us the Magistrates of Middle sex. Of this a striking instance is exhibited in the enormous expense about to be incurred in the tree. OM of . new prison for Westminster. On this one object it seems that not less than 200,00 W. is to be laid out, though it is quite notorious to those who are at all acquainted with the wants and the loca lities of Westminster, that the present Tothill-fields fititirwell might be rebuilt, or made quite adequate joditious Alterations for every necessary purpose, for_ less theft onesfoorth part of the sum, or for what t , ti , e 1041014 foundation of the site of the proposed prism, will require. This recklessness of expense Kul' thus more extraordinary (and, we were going to when ~,„y of us It does, at a time a parishes are so overpowered with tliutrass ,1:7.,1t4 eats ti e nshlet to contribitte their shares ' so Many other enurmous 4 1V, t' a time, too, whe" various ® then befosi i t t , !as are incur ri ng under never tot) late to re.. truce one's steps when taker t i 4 i like to set the body of iat:reirthr ; rend 'a should brethren, who have thi s ,:, ( itte a r , e i l, ( ePe i lhog their on the threshold of so enormous an elL'Z I „Pt u " ire contemplated—an outlay so emu (nova ' ' t thu . er e difference between the highest anti file tei t t,;;;,. t unites upon the same plittitt would b e nearly,' i f e t quite, sufficient to do all that is really »ecessitry. .Bat why are the rate-payers themselves so quiescent under these heavy burdens? Are they not aware that silenee implies consent; and that, where there is no complaint, it is often taken for granted that here is no cause for any ? One adVantage that the freeholders of Middlesex (on whom the burden ulti mately falls) may expect to derive from having such a man as Mr. Ilume for their representative is, that he will apely his microscopic and unbending research to the subject of their local finances and expendi ture; a subject to which their Members hitherto appear to have paid but little attention.—Morning Herald. The. Maier, eluding to an article on the subject of Algiers, in the chronicle of yesterday, observes— " That we ouleavaur to enli4t an our side all the phi- lanthropints of Eur Ope, upon whom our arguments w certainly not he thrown away by tilling them that all nu tions Iseuld gain by the extension of civilisation whirl would result halm the retention of Algiers by the Freud, army, No nation,' says the Chronicle, ' possesses in such perfection as the French, the power of introducing order among barbarians;' meaning, we suppose, that no nation could send out better dancing-mastere,hair-dressers, and petits4naitres t and, therefore, that the French are best calculated to ro:Nert the mountain Arab into the itionitieur CaHot of the Faubourg St. Germain, and the grave pipe -smoking Turk into a cigar•puffing habitué of the Paiais Royal. But, if this rage fur civilization is to be thus encouraged, who can say to what extent it may not be carried ? Another set of French philantbropi , ts may carry war into New Zealand, or among some of the tribal of the into rior of Africa, because civilization requires that a man should not be allowed to perforate and suspend a log of wood from his nose, or to t ittoo his cheek, under the uncivilized notion that lie increases his personal beauty ; and we may hate the Sultan dethroned for not introduc ing the use of chairs and forks among his people, or the great Son-of-the• Sun in China driven from his dominions for not preferring the square-toed hoot of the Parisian dandy to the uncivilized point of the Mandarin shoe. We, certainly are not arraid that the French, notwithstanding the invitation held out to them, will carry their civilizing mania quite so far as this in our time, but really there is no injustice or absurdity which in can conceive possible which would not derive sanction from the establishment such a principle." , , Our contemporary is pleased to be very facetious on the aul►jett of the French merits, as civilizers. We assure him, however, that we had not in our thought that "no nation could send out better `dancing-masters, hair-dressers, and petits maitre:," but meant, in sober seriousness, what we said. We should imagine, that for petit: maitre: or dandie. England could match all the rest of the world. What the French may have been in former times we know not, but in our days their young men seem in every way More serious and reflecting than our youth. But to come to the point—the French have never occupied a country without improving it. We owe, says Mr. Mill, in his " litstory of British Indio," the system by which we keep India in subjection to the French. Speaking of the ad vance of the French against Fort St. David, in 17.11 . 4 . he observes— 4 ‘ At this time. the English hal not yet learned to train Srpoys in. the European discipline, though the French bad already set them the example, and had four or five dis ciplined companies at Pondicherry. The two important discoveries for conquering India were, first, the weakness of the native armies against European discipline ; comity, the facility of imparting that discipline to natives in the European service. Both discoveries were made by the French." The English have, no doubt, their good qualities as well as the French; but they possess one quality which very much impedes their power of improving other nations—a silly reserve which is often taken for pride, and which prevents them from mixing with strangers in such a way as to know ,how to manage them, The French ore better tempered— more civet flowing and communicative—and in any 'undertaking the very lowest of them seems to feel as if the honour of it depended materially on his exertions. This sense of honour would seem to have been in all times diffused through the nation. We remember Dr. Hutton, in the Introduction to his Login-Him Tables, speaks with some bitterness of the -difficulties opposed by mechanics in this come try .to the exertions of men of science, and contrasts the zeal with which in France the lowest mechanic enters into their views. This power of being pleased with themselves, and being pleased with all the woad (to use the language of Goldsmith), gives them great edvantages in introducing into the countries occupied by them the benefits of law and order If they had occupied Way five years longer,l there would not have been a brigand in the whole country. Hence, though their discipline be often severe kind certainly the Italians had reason' to term it .severe), they nevertheless contrive to n►ake themselves more popular than we can ever . be.. The sliives In French Colonies have always been more intelligent and cultivated than than those of our Colonies,' from the more social and 'cotnnatuffeative character of the musters. — So long as the French held Canada they contrived to have all the Indians in their interest ; and we do not believe that the attachment of the Indians cost them much more than - it little civility, which is often felt as a heavy expense by the people of this country. We have, no doubt, good (politica peculiar to our • selves; b u t th e y are better known to ourselves than to strangers, who are not always disposed to give us credit for what we claim. The French would, un questionably, confer a great benefit on the world by .holding Algiers, and it does not become us, who, for the last thirty years, adding conquest to conquest on 80 other ground than the impossibility of retaining barbarians in subjection' by any other means than taking their heath, from them,- to quarrel with the occupation of Algiers by the French. All Europe would look with evil eyes on tie were we to inter« fere with them and prevent the maid froM enjoying the beticlit of an uninterrupted navigation of the Mediterranean. Our fear is, that the French Ministry will leave the work unfinished. If this should be owing to the interference of the English Ministers, they would have the curses of every parent deprived of a child, of every wife deprived. of a husband held in bondage by pirates. But we think better of • Milliliters than to believe them capable of interfering to prevent so good a work as the occupation of Algiers by the French, especially if the latter do not 114 them to share the expense of the burden it will entail on them.—Morn.Chron. Our Parisian Correspondent animadverts, with good effect, on st sentence in a French Ministerial Journal, the Editor of which is well received at Court, " that it is not the exaggeration of flattery to say that France has more need of her King, than her King has need of her." This, to be sure, is adenirable, when applied to an old men, who, if turned adrift, could not probably, even in his best Clays, have earned a mouthful of bread by the exer• eise of any one faculty, intellectual or bodily. A man may be a very good King, no doubt, for all that; but we question, the prudence of provoking enquiries into such delicate points as the relative importance of Nations and Kings to each other. A great Philosopher, speaking of "the Rights of the People," respecting which so much was said and written during the French Revolution, observes.— Why has no Ruler eve yet ventured to decline firmly and openly, that he acknowledgee no rights of the people as voted against himself; that the people owe their happiness solely to the beneficence of a Government, which allows them to be so, and that all pretensions on the part of subjects to rights against Goverment are absurd, nay culpable (as involving the idea of a justification of resis tance) ? The reason is, that such a public deche. Winn would stir up all his subjects to resistance, even though, under the guidance of a kind and intelligent master, well led and vigorously protected, they might have no complaint to make on the score of abridgment of their prosperity. A being en.• dowed with freedom, and therefore conscious of this his superiority over the brutes that perish, cannot, and ought not, to acknowledge any Government as valid for the people to which he belongs, but a Go- . vernment winch the people participate as legis lators; that is, the rights of the men who are to obey must necessarily have the preference over all considerations of mere material comfort, for the rights of men are elevated far above all price (Imre material, enjoyment; and no aovernmtnt, however beneficent it may be, ought to dare to invade them." Thissis language worthy of a man; the language of the French courtier sinks him below a beast. Fic tions are always mischievous. When the Bourbons were restored, the French, lulled into submissive ness by the substantial advantages they promised themselves from the Charter, instead of fixing by a compact the limits of command and obedience, con sented to considei the King as master of all France and all Frenchmen, master of their bodies and souls, their lands and houses, and to receive their privileges as a grant, dictated by his ge nerosity towards them. The farce Wilb under stood by the knaves; but the foolish old man who now fills the Throne has evidently been per suaded by his flatterers that he may resume what he has granted; and replace the people in the chains which, in his benevolence, he consented to loosen. This bows the paramount importance of never de parting from sound principles. 'I he feudal principle, that the King is Lord of all, and that liberty Is a concession from him, leads to the monstrous conse quence that what has been given may be resumed. The French will be compelled, from a regard to their own dignity, to teach this foolish, priest-ridden old man that Kings are made for Nations ' and not Na tions for Kings ; that the latter are First Magis tratis, and not masters, and that a neglect of duty must he followed by the usual consequences in the ease of infirm Magistrates. The object of Govern ment is not the welfare of Kings, but the welfare of the people; and the latter must always be the judge in the last resort of what they choose to deem wel fare. Nations may see, from what is going on in France, of what immense importance it is to lay down correct principles. The feudal principle, how ever modified by usage, is still an insult to humanity. It supposes the people to be towards the King as so many cattle or sheep. Before sound principles are acknowledged, much blood must, we tear, yet flow. A Wesleyan Methodist, who has addressed a printed letter to Lord John Russell,' terms his Lordship an infidel for not ascribing the prosperity of England and the calamities of France to Providence. Should the obstinacy of the present King plunge the nation in war, in this the writer would still see the finger of Providence. Who knows that the obstinacy of the King may not in reality be of more benefit to the French nation at the present moment than wisdom and moderation ? We are seldom enabled to judge accurately of the future, for our views are p a rti a l and obstructed. That the Royal Family of France should, however, feel ularin is natural. Our Cor respondent says that the Datiphiness has "cautioned the King--written to the King—implored the King to take care of his Ministers—and pointing to the white Marble Statue erecting in the Place Louis XVI,, has said, Gouvernez legalement The crisis approaches. All Europe are at present interested in France. Humanity is deeply inte rested in the issue. The King, were he accessible to prudence, would not provoke the combat. But he is in the hands of the Priests, who consider it necessary to make one great exertion at this moment to secure their dominion over the consciences of the multitude. To them the fate of the King and the Royal family is a secondary consideration, compared with the ascendancy f the Priesthood. Let us hope, however, that the great Idol will be hewn down. A King is but one individual, who occupies but s brief space in history; but a Nation never dies. Mr. Cobbett, in his Register of this day, says, in a letter to M r . O'C onne ll " But the great object of all firr you to keep your eye on is, that which is going on in France. In my opinion that is the thing which is frightening so many men from their seats in Parliament ! If the French people triumph, it is impossible that this system can stand for two years. We come back exactly to the system of 1792. .Englund call ing for reform, and the French setting the example ; with this difference, that we have contracted a debt, and dead weight, and poor-rates, demanding taxes to the amount of forty millions a year to prevent the effect of that example, and do dm French what they will, we have not now the means of ()rine a pound of powder In anger l Strange turn of events!" And farther :—" However, you have the means of ample vengeance in your hands; but, to take this ven geance, you must again be in Parliament. The times are favourable, and every day will render them more favour able. Look at the sign, of the times, Lord Milton and Manhall resigning Yorkshire, when no opposition of: fered Wortley'ref using Essex with no opposition : Afenek the same for Reading ; resigninge all about fie country, and that, too, on the part of men of great landed estates, and on the toast trifling pretences. It really is the old story of the Rats and the falling House. But, again, only think at Hume for Middlesex, and supported by loan-mongers and borough mongers I This is the thing to look at. Then, to-day, we are told that Brougham is to he offered fur th e county of York l Why this is reve lation of itself. Sir William Rowley resigning, they say, for Suffolk ; Palliner for Surrey, Curteis for Sussex ; and the two Members for Nottingham. There realty seems nothing wanting but the resigning of Old Daddy Oahe I We shall have a set unknown in the country, that nobody' will care any thing about personally t the cry will be for retrenchment, and this, to any efficient extent, cannot take place without bringing down the whole system." We, too, have our obserVations to offer on this subject ; but we will reserve them for u future day, —Morning Chronicle. It will be seen, from another part of our paper, that his most grecious Majesty went in state yes terday, as we had previously announced, to th e House of Lords, for the purpose of giving his es. sent to the different Bills which bad passed both Houses of Parliament, and of proroguing it. The crowd was immense, and the anxiety to see his Ma jesty was greater than has.been ever known on any previous occasion of a similar kind.. The Park and the streets were not only filled with a dense, and, in many instances, almost impenetrable mass, but the terraces, windows, and tops, of the houses presented an assemblage of loyal and affectionate Nultjt cts, which must have been extremely gratifying to his Majesty, who, in addition, had the satiefaction of being loudly cheered in his progress by all classes. What, however, will be still more gratifying to our readers is the fact, which we can personally attest, that his Majesty appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, lle looks, in fact, many years younger than he really is, and, frequently us we have seen him, we question much whether we ever saw him look better than he did . yesterday. He might, in fain, be safely set down, from personal appearance, as only fifty-tive instead of sixty-five; and the vague rumours which have, in vonseqnenee., been afloat for several weeks past, may be charac terized as equally false and malicious. We hope and trust that his M a j es ty w ill long Continue to en joy the excellent h ea l t h w hi c h b e appears to pos seas, as fully as at present; and that th e popu l ar i ty which attends him every where, w ill I. as permit nem as it is just and well-founded. He has ascended the throne under somewhat unfavourable auspices; but if he continues to act as he has hitherto done, we have no doubt that the drooping energies of the country will revive, and that the weakness which was exhibited in the conduct of its foreign relations by the Government of the late King, will be ex changed for a character more becoming the honour and interests of the great empire which William the Fourth now rules.—.llforning Advertiser. ---" his Majebty y es t er d a y The Speech delivered by is,,in every respect, a most gracious Speech, and worthy of the King of these realms.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held for the despatch of public business. fits MAJESTY's ANSWER TO THE CITY ADDRESS. The LORD MAYOR informed the Court that h;s Majesty had been graciou4ly plea-ed to receive the Address of the Corporation, and to return :a most gracious answer. The answer of the King, which has already appeared in the newspapers, was then read by the Town Clerk, and ()Meted, upon the motion of Mr. OLDHAM, to he entered on the Jour nals of the Court. SUSPICION OF 31 ISREPRESENTATION...-COAL TRADK. Mr. TICKNIIR rose to claim the attention of the Court for a few minutes, upon a subject of great in terest to the public, and referriug in a peculiar man ner to the Court. The Court was aware that Com mittees of both Houses of Parliament hail been occupied with an inquiry into the state of the Ciod Trade, during nearly the whole of the present Ses sion, and that the Lords' Committee had presented • their Report on Monday last, when the Times, Chronicle, and Herald newspapers, had published very extraordin ar y s p eec h of the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry, containing statements which ho was confident the Noble Marquis never could have made, because they were completely at variance with the Oink—(Heer, hear)--statements which, if suffered to pass without contradiction or explanation, might make a very false und inju rious impression upon the public mind. The Noble Marquis had been represented as emigre tulating the public en, the result of the hives, i gation, and taking great credit to himself and the other coal Lords for the salutary reforms which were to reduce the price of coals eight or ten shillin g s per chaldron.—(Hear, hear.)—The Noble Lord had also been made to say that no combination and mo nopoly had been found to exist, end that all the blame lay at the door of the Corporation of London. —(Hear, and a laugh )—The truth of the in tter was, that the same alterations which were recom mended by the Parliamentary Committees had been agreed to by that Court upwards of two years ago, and were contained in the printed report which he held in his hand. An application had been made to the Treasury for carrying them into effect, and that application had given rile to the late investigation, so that the great good to the public which the Noble Lord had been represented as exulting so much in, would redound to the credit of the Coutt„and not to that of the coal-owners.—(Hear, hear.)—Nor was it possible that the Noble Marquis could have said that himself and others had been entirely ac quitted of combination and monopoly, for the re ports of both Committees distinctly admitted the existence of those evils, but did not deem it expe dient to legislate upon the subject, because the com petition from other quarters by railways, &c. &e. must eventually remedy them. He (Mr. '1 ickner) had no hesitation in declaring, that the combination still existed unmitigated and in full operation, by means of which exorbitant and unjust prices were ma.ntained ut the ports of shipment upon this essential necessary of life.—(Cbeers.)—lt had been distinctly . proved, that anterior to the late war the shipping price of coals amounted to about half of the price at which they were now to he purchased, notwithstanding that the great im provement in maehirery had rnaterielly cheapened the operation of mining; that the price of the article hid advanced as that of every other had ads: vanced during the war; but that while the price of all other commodities had been adjusted to the in creiesed value of the currency and a state of peace, high war prices were maintained upon coals bi means of what was termed the restriction of the vend. This was a true statement of the ease which he had felt it his duty to make, as well to disabuse the public mind, ns to do justice to the Noble Marquis, who never could have made such Incorrect asser tions as the newspapers had attributed to him, and it was really . " too bad" of them to do so.—(Laugh ter, and loud cries of " Hear, hear, hear.")—Mrs Tickner concluded by stating, that if coals were really to be eight or ten shillings per chuldron cheaper, the reduction would not molt from the trilling abatement of something less than one shilling per chaldren in the charges in London; .but from the breaking up of that system which gave the coal. owners of the Tyne and the 'Wear a perfect contronl of the market here, and enabled them to pocket any saving made at this end—a circumstance of which there was no doubt they would avail themselves, when the. stir which had been made should blow over.—(Hear, hear.) tikh ß eien la p e t k ha f e irei provin g ar ca s- r b ri r a i g d e g . st o f w . utyhe It A Report w as b roug h t up from the General Pur pose Com m i ttee , w i th relation to the carriage -road of Commissioners of o t wt in repair, and recommended that 4,0001 should be given for the, purpose from the funds of the Corporation. • The report was ordered to lie, on the table. After some further business the Court adjourned: POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MARYLEBONE. Dinah Little came before M. HosictNs yesterday, and abandoned her charge against Charles Whiler.)w, of having assaulted, with intent to violate her, and Mr. HOSKINS ordered the gaoler to liberate him. Three common prostitutes were brought from Limn-grove by some of the new police, and Mr. Mums sent them, under the Vagrant Act, to the tread-mill. One of them was a lady's, alias a gen tleman's maid, in the service of Mrs. Julia Josephs, who lives at No. 8, lieaa-street, against whom the parish of St. Marylebone have instituted proceed trigs as the keeper of a brothel, or, 1111 she described it on a late occasion to Mr. Rawlinson, a company house for respectable people, of which she was not ashamed. BOMSTREET. Yesterday Captain Gleorge Paul lielsherm, who stands charged with the wilful murder of Lieutenant Joseph Crowther, of the Ist 'Royals, having shot M Hist t 4.1.. b h r im oug l l ll t uap f d o u r e r l e.e a t t un ß i o n u a l t o lo g n 7 b , e i f t o t r A e p m ri r l . , 1829, was He was attended by Mr. Smith, his solicitor, and one or two friends. Mr. Charles Phillips appeared for the prosecutors. The Rev. Mr. Crowther, bro ther to the deceased, sat upon the Bench. Mr. Smith said his client was anxious to have the case gone into as soon es possible. He had retained Mr. Adolphus for him defence, supposing the mt. mination would not have occurred before the time originally appointed, but, having received 'thrice from the prosecutors that it was their intention to prefer their charge to-day, although Mr. Adolphus was out of town, and could not attend, his client would not make any objection on that account even. Mi. C. Phillips then proceeded to say that he was sorry to be obliged to state, that he appeared ' to charge the gentleman standing at the bar with murder. He was charged with the murder of Lieu tenant Crowther. It was sufficient that he should state the short facts, and substantiate thern, to form the grou n d f or t h e committal of this gentleman for murder. It was unnecessary for him to remind his Worship that the duel having been fought on foreign ground was no impediment. He should preve that the unfortunate deceased, and, he would say, the equally unfortunate gentleman at the bar, met at a place called the ,Celumn, at B ou l ogne, fdr the pur. pose of fighti ng a duel; that .there had been an agreement that the parties should fire immediately after the signal was given ; but that, after the de. ceased, in obedience to this arrangement, had fired, without effect, there was, in direct violation of the arrangement s deliberate aim of four or five seconds taken by the accused, and he shot his adversary dead. This Was a strong feature in the case to the Minds of the relatives of the deceased. Much bad been said at the first examination of this Cale about investigations in France having disposed of it, b ut he should be abl e t o p rove that noudiciaalnienxvaematii: gnaattiloonnlburefordteaktewno ivi place in France, 'ex ceptjag.;stratesmerely a preliminary proceeding, anti of which no notice was given to the relatives; so that there was no foundation for the exception taken to this proceeding on the count. He should, at the trial, he prepredi cumber of witnesses to prove every thing telsi the affair, but us they were at Boulogne, and tl pence of bringing - them here so long before th %%mild he productve of very great expense, h , to submit to his Worship, that if he sntoto the charge bv the evidence of a gentleman present at the duel, saw the parties fire, and Crowther fall dead by the hand of the pri,oT should prove sufficient to warrant the come the prisoner to take his trial. It was not the of the relatives of the thceased to inktitutt l dictive charge ; they only wished to Weil Clone. - Mr. Phillips then called Mr. Lambert Araloney, who, being sworn, tlej that he was a Lieutenant of the sth 1) 0 Ottaids, on half pay, and fe,itlitig . at Belli Ile knew the th ceased, Mr. Joseph Crowther, nes also acquainted with the priemter• The witness was proceeding with an occoel the migin of the Tiarrel, when Mr. Phillips said he thought it necesstuy before the witties. proceeded further, that he one of the seconds.
