labour and persevering exertion which their avo cations required.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure no Member eonld deny that their constituents had not a right to know what passed in that House. The Noble and Learned Member for London proposed bringing forward a motion regarding the state of Ireland to-morrow night, which was of the very first importance, and which would be regarded with the greatest in terest by the country at large. Suppose when the Noble Lord stood up, another. Honourable Member stood up also and moved the exclusion of strangers, and that those columns in the newspapers usually occupied by Parlia mentary debates were on the following morning blanks, would not Hon. Members , cut a pretty figure before the country ? ( Laughter.) He repeated that it was absurd and inconsistent that, at the caprice of any Hon. Member, the country might be deprived of that information which they so eagerly expected, aad to which they had a just right. He entirely agreed with the Hon. Gentleman, and only regretted that a motion had not' been made for directly rescinding so absurd a rule.—( Hear. If any Hon. M em b er exerc i se d th e pr i v il ege o f expellin strangers from the House for a few nights in succession, he fet sure the Right Hon, B ar t. wou ld b e th e fi rst to move for the rescinding of the order. Sir GEORGE CLERK did not at all agree with the Hon. Member who had just sat down, and thought no inconve nience ressulted from the present rules. The only occasion on which the suppression of the debates occurred, by re porters and others being ordered to leave the gallery, was on thr motion of Sir . Charles Yorke on moving for an inquiry into the Walcheren expedition, and the reason given for that was the legitimate one, that many parties would probably be implicated in the statements that would be made in the course of the debate. As to the proposition for the House to author ise the publication of its reports by its own reporters, instead of quietly conniving at the way in which they now reached the public, he could not see the vali dity of it. The reports were now given with extraordinary rapidity and great accuracy, and were they to follow the suggestion, and have their own reporters, he was satisfied it would tend most materially to cripple the freedom of debate in that House, and give no advantage either to them selves or to the public. Dr. FIOWRING said he should vote for the motion simply on the ground that it was absurd, and indeed indecent, to keep constantly before their eyes a law which the Speaker himself, and every Memb er o f t h e H ouse, was d a il y in the habit of vio lating. The SPEAKER stated to the House that the rule which empowered any Member to notice the presence of strangers in the House, and enforce their removal by the Serjeant-at- Arms, was not dependent on the sessional orders. The fact was, it was a right inherent in the House. The sessional order was applicable only to those galleries and parts of the House used by Members of it.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. CHRISTIE would, therefore, on the intimation of the Speaker, beg leave of the House to amend his motion by leav ing out the words affecting tke right to exclude strangers from the gallery, and confine his motion to an authorised publi cation by the House of reports of its debates. The House then divided—. For the motion . Against it Majority CUSTOMS' FRAUDS. Mr. WALLACE moved that the evidence taken in the last session of Parliament, respecting the frauds which had taken place in the Custom-house department in London, be laid on the table of the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EX I HEQUER said he had intended to move for a Select Committee, with a view to the examinaticn of the evidence, in order to see what ought to be published, and what ought not. Mr. BARING wished to know when information would be laid before the House with respect to the charges of a grave nature that had been brought against the Commissioners of Customs. • Lord G. SOMERSET said the Members of the Com mission appointed to inquire into the Customs' frauds were preparing their opinions on the subject, and as soon as these were laid before the Treasury, the information would be laid before the House.—The motion was then agreed to. On the motion of Mr. THORNELY, the following Mem beds were appointed as a Select Committee on Public Peti tion3:—Mr. Thornely, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Lord Courtenay, Vi.rnunt Duncan, Captain Jones, Mr. Cowpeii Mr. Pusey, Mr. E.lwwil Buller, Mr. Buckley, Mr. Brotherton, Mr, William Hamilton, Mr. Owen Stanley, Mr. Cripps, and Mr. Villiers Stuart. Mr. PAKINGTON postponed his Bill to di fine and re gulate the periods of holding Quarter Sessions in Cities and Boroughs, till Feb. 22. The House having disposed of the other Orders of the Day, adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. -47 MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

Francis Close. The Rev. Gentleman received this evening, at five o'clock, a hamper, by the Birmingham coac h, a dd resse d to " t h e Grange, - " which is the Parsonage-house. The hamper was packed in the most careful manner. Whe n th e Rev. Gen tleman returned home lie p rocee d e d to open the hamper, in which he discovered a small box, securely fastened. With is ome difficulty this box was ope ne d, w h en he was both . asto nished and alarmed to find that it co n t a i ne d a handsoii e child's coffin. The parish authorities were instantly sent for, and on the coffin being opened, it - e - as found t o conta i n the dead body of a remarkably fine male infant, apparently about-a fortnight old. By . the advice of the parish authorities the Vicar lost no tiale in making Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the poli ce , acquainted Withithe :circumstance. Information of this ex traordinary affair was sent to the magistrates of Cheltenham, and the Coroner was also made acquainted with the intelli gence, in order that an inquest might be held on the body. The Rev. Incumbent is a married man with a large family, and it is not long ago that a base attempt was made to affiliate a child upon him, which turned out on the most rigid inquiry to be utterly groundless. It is conjectured_ that the same parties, who have since left Cheltenham, lime a hand in this affair. The circumstance has created great excitement, and the Vicar's " present" has formed the leading subject of conver sation among all classes of society. The inquest was expected to be held on Friday.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 13, 1844. can the Government do with their verdict ? Has the trial, so far, answered any one good purpose ? Has it not done more, to stir up and bad feelings, than years of repeal agitation could have effected? Has it not gained for the Irish more sympathy than was ever before expressed for their wrongs, by the people of this country ? Let Sir ROBERT PEEL ponder well and meditate closely on his next step —a false move will be fatal to his Government. Madrid journals. of the 3d and 4th inst., have been received, from which we learn that, on the 29th ult., an attempt at insurrection was made at Alcoz, which was suppressed by the troops and the National Guards. A collision ensued, when some persons were killed, and thirty of -the insurgents captured. At Elcho, Cocentanyo, Orihuela, and Muro, similar movements had been repressed. The Governor of Murcia had blockaded Alicant with the coast-guard boats. The citadel of that place, which is strong, had been de livered into the hands of the insurgents by a lieu tenant of the garrison. The Government, however, are determined to make an example, by shooting all those captured, as appears from an order of the Minister of War to General RONCALI, published in the Madrid Gazette, directing him, in the name of the QUEEN, to shoot the 30 insurgents taken prisoners at Alcoz. The Minister requests him to forward to his department an account of their execution for the information of her MAJESTY, and enjoins him not "to allow himself to be stopped by the fear of any acts of retaliation which the insurgents of Alicant might threaten, for although her MAJESTY should view with grief the victims that the fury of the rebels might sacrifice, yet the absolute necessity that the law and public vengeanee should be a reality weighed still more in her Royal mind." The Three per Cents. weredone at 28,E 301 31i 32 27i at different dates; the Five per Cents. at 20} at 60 days, 20 for cash. On Saturday, the French Government received the following intelligence from Spain : TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " BAYONNE, FEB. B.—Carthagena followed on the 2d the movement of Alicant. " The Governor and some Chiefs were arrested by the fac tious. It is affirmed that the troops have pronounced for the insurgents. This news has created the utmost enthusiasm in Murcia in favour of the Government. A commission has been appointed to second the authorities. The troops of the province are assembling at Orihuela. " The National Guard of Burgos were disarmed on the 2d without difficulty." _ _ The events which have lately occurred in Spain continue to occupy public attention at Paris, and Queen CHRISTINA has had frequent intervi ews w ith the leading m en o f the Government. On Wednesday a long conference took place in the hotel where she resides, at which SOULT and MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA were present. On the next morning her MA JESTY had an interview with the KING at the Tuileries. According to the latest accounts she still resolved to set out for Madrid on the 15th instant. One of the Opposition papers states that reports of a change of Ministry were prevalent in the Hall of the Chamber of Con ference on Thursday. It , was said that the GUIZOT Cabinet would be modified, and that M. GUIZOT and M. MARTIN would retire and be replaced by M. PASSY and M. DUFAURE. M. GUIZOT would, it was said, return to London as Ambassador, and M. MARTIN (du Nord) would obtain the presidency of one of the Chambers of the Court of Cassation. The Siecle and Patriot publish the same reports, but they are entitled to little credit. On Saturday the funds continued firm.

Lords 'a Bill entitled, "An Act for the Amendment of the Law of Imprisonment for Debt" was read a first time on the motion of Lord COTTENIIAM. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a Bill for altering the jurisdiction of Ecclesiastical Courts. The Earl of RIPON moved that the thanks of the House be presented to Sir CHARLES NAPIER and the officers and men under his:command, for their gallant and successful operations in"Sinde. Lord AUCKLAND seconded the motion. The Duke of WELLINoToisT followed, and paid the highest tribute of praise to Sir C. NAPIER. For his strong expressions of approbation we must refer our readers to the report, with this short emphatic extract from the Noble Duke's speech:_" I must say it was one of the greatest feats it ever has been my good fortune to peruse, and it was completely successful." The motion was agreed to unanimeusly. The Marquis of NORMANDY laid on the table his motion relative to Ireland, whichhe brings on this evening. - The Earl of CLARENDON put some questions to the Earl of ABERDEEN relative to Spain, and the Secre tary for Foreign Affairs answered in terms for which Lord CLARENDON expressed his gratification. The House then adjourned. In the House of Commons, after the presentation of petitions, and questions to the Members of the Government, for which we refer to the report, the Factories Bill was read a second time. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Metropolitan Improvements Bill, Mr. Huang ob jected to the prinCiple of the Government -borrowing money for such purposes from the Bank ofEngland, and moved that the words " Governor and Company of the Bank of England be struck out." On a division the num bers were—for the Bill, 145, and against it 70. A provision was adopted, by which the Bank should not lend more than 220,0001., and the Bill was passed. The second reading of the " Racing Penalties Re peal Bill" was postponed, until the motion for a vote of thanks to the Sinde army was disposed of Sir ROBERT PEEL then brought forward his mo tion for a vote of thanks to Sir CHARLES NArtEa. and the other :officers and soldiers engaged in the ope rations in Sinde. Lord JOHN RUSSELL followed the example of Lord AUCKLAND in the House of Lords, and seconded the motion—high tributes to the gallant army of Sinde. For the speeches made on the occasion, we must, for want of space, refer to the Parliamentary report. A division took place, when there were for the vote of thanks 164, and against it 9. Mr. CHRISTIE then moved for a Select Committee to consider the expediency of the presence of stran gers at debates, &c., which was opposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. After a few words from several Hon. Members, the House divided, when the motion was negatived by a majority of 47. The other business on the paper was then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One. The speeches, in both Houses of Parliament last night, on the affairs of Sinde, may be regarded as the most interesting of the session. The question was, not whether we had a right to occupy that country, whether we had a right to open the navigation of the Indus, and form a strong boundary to our Indian possessions on the west—but was simply confined to a vote of thanks to the gallant men , who had upheld, and, as some speakers well entitled to judge, said, surpassed,even the renowned valour of British troops. Of course Sir CHARLES NAPIER was the great object of attraction. He was the life and soul of the battle; he led his men on under difficulties unparalleled, in spired every officer, soldier, and camp-follower, with his daring spirit, and achieved a victory which casts all others in India, however remarkable, into the shade. With what exultation this Gallant Officer, who bears a name so celebrated in the history of the country, will read the tribute conferred on him by such a man as WELLINGTON. " I must say," said his Grace, "that on giving the fullest consideration to the operations, I have never known an instance of a general officer who had shown in a higher degree all the requisite qualifications to enable him to conduct great operations. Sir CHARLES NAPIER had manifested the utmost discretion and prudence in the formation of his plans, the utmost activity in perfecting the preparations necessary to success, and, finally, the utmost zeal, gallantry, and science, in carrying these plans and operations into execution." Such a tribute from a veteran General, so little inclined to praise even the most gallant actions, and so well qualified to judge both of operations in India and Europe, may compensate for all the vile calumny and the wicked reproaches which have been heaped by certain parties on the head of this distinguished member of the NAPIER family. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL was in the best taste. It was, as might be expected, more pro lix than that of the Noble Duke, but it entered into details which will be read with the highest interest. He paid just compliments to Sir CHARLES NAPIER, and did ' not forget his illustrious brother, who, as some say, has written the best history of the Peninsular war, but who, while doing justice to a brave enemy, has not for gotten the merits of his countrymen. In adverting to the deeds of the NAPIERs, he seemed to direct his speech to a Member of the House who has rendered his name immortal on the Syrian coast, and the way in which he associated him with his illustrious rela tives, and combined the deeds of a family so remarlf able, elicited the loudest cheers from every part of the House. This was only an act of tardy justice. But for the utmost skill, zeal, activity, and gallantry of another Sir CHARLES NAPIER, the battles which com menced at Beyrout and ended at St. Jean d' Acre might have been protracted for another year, and in volved the world in a general war. These praises are well bestowed, and they will be responded to by every friend of his country. On the origin of the war in Sinde we have nothing to add. We have ever taken the same view of the subject. We main tained, in opposition to all our Contemporaries, that it was a war in self-defence ; that the free navigation of the Indus was absolutely ne• cessary for the security of the vast In dian territories under British dominion; that the plan which has been carried into effect was in finitely preferable to the occupation of Affghanistan ; and we now rejoice to find that we are not singular in our opinions. It is the greatest achievement of the present day, and in that opinion both Whigs and Tories agree. The anxiety felt throughout England and Ireland, as to the result of the Irish State trials, is now raised to the very highest pitch, in consequence of the partial ascertainment of the views of the jury in re gard to their verdict. Not having finally decided as to the wording of that verdict at midnight on Satur day, and the judges having doubts (needless, as it appears to us) whether they could receive a verdict at all, on Sunday, the jury were locked up till yester day morning, when they will put the matter beyond doubt, so far as they are concerned. The conclusion to which the jury had come on SatUrday night was as follows : On the first count On the second .. No finding. On the third Duffy, guilty. D. O'Connell, J. O'Connell, Ray, Gray; Steele, Duffy, and Barrett, guilty. On the fifth D. O'Connell, Ray, Steele, Duffy, and Tierney, guilty. On the sixth On the seventh . All but Tierney guilty. On the eighth No finding. On the ninth On the tenth nell, Ray, Gray, Steele, Duffy, and Barrett, guilty. On the eleventh If the jury do not alter their opinions, the words "no finding," as now given in by them, will be altered into " no verdict" on those counts, or into "not guilty ;" for one of the jury stated that there was no dif ference among them, and it was merely as to the wording of the findings that they had any doubt. Let us look; then, at the probable result of this day's proceedings. The first and second counts charged the nine tm versers with seditiously conspiring to create disaf fection among the people—to excite hatred and con- On the fourth, tempt of the Government—to cause jealousy and ill will among certain classes, particularly the army— to bring the legal tribunals into disrepute —and to effect changes in the law by a demonstration of phy sical force. Upon these counts the jury have come to no verdict, and they may be therefore taken as not proved and unsupported. Not guilty will probably be the verdict as to these counts. The third count charges the same objects of con spiracy as the second, with slight variations. On this count, three are found guilty. The fourih count charges the same objects, but lays the conspiracy at different times and places. On this count, seven are found guilty. The fifth count charges less generally the same objects, and on this count, five are found guilty. The sixth charges a seditious conspiracy to procure changes in the law, by means of intimidation and physical force. On this there is no finding, and not guilty will probably be the verdict. The seventh count charges the procurement of large numbers of the peoPle to meet together at various placesovith intent, by the display of num bers, to procuie changes in the law. On this, all but Mr. TIERNEY are found guilty. On the eighth and ninth counts, "no finding" will be most likely turned into " not guilty." The tenth count charges the establishment of courts to bring into disrepute the legal tribunals of the country, and on this, seven of the traversers are found guilty. The eleventh charges seditious publications prid songs, and the delivery of unlawful speeches, and here again, " no finding" is equivalent to " not guilty.'! There will, therefore, probably be a verdict of guilty upon five counts, and not guilty upon six I counts of this indictment. And now commences the retest difficulty. What SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vittatt t9ptittott. " Who runs may read." FOREXON. The funeral of the late Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha took place on the 3d inst. in the church attached to the palace at Gotha, amidst salvoes of artillery and the solemn tolling of bells. The body lay in state, the day before, in one of the principal apartments of the palace. The procession was composed of all the officers of State, and of the household of the august deceased, a considerable number of officers from the Prussian garrison of Erfurt and Langenzalza, and the great bulk of the population. After the funeral service, the coffin, which was carried up to the altar by twelve gentlemen of the Court, M. Jacobi, the Court chaplain, delivered an affecting discourse, reminding his hearers of the many virtues of their departed Sovereign. Another attempt at insurrection had been made in the east of Spain, at a place called Alcoz ' but it was unsuccessful, and thirty of the insurgents were made prisoners by the mili tary. By an order of the Minister. of War, which appears in the Madrid Gazette, all these unfortunate creatures are or dered to be instantly shot on the arrival of the dispatch. The ball in aid of the English Charity Fund took place at Paris on Friday night in the theatre of the Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne, and passed off with great eclat. Dancing was kept up till four in the morning. We learn from the Swiss journals that the fall of snow in the cantons of Berne and St. Gall, during the last fortnight, has been heavier than has been experienced for many years. Many houses, barns, buildings, and cattle, have been crushed by the falls of avalanches. The loss of only two men, one woman, and two children, is mentioned. A violent storm prevailed on Tuesday and Wednesday off the coast of Finisterre, and letters from Quimper state that the weather continued so severe as to create fears of serious disasters on the coast. Several fishing boats belonging to Granville and Cancale were caught in the gale, and two of them went down with all on board. The crew of one of them consisted of six men and a boy. Accounts from St. Etienne represent the fall of snow in that country to have been so great, that the Paris and Mar seilles mail could not proceed without ten or twelve ho ses to get it over the hills of La Republique and Grand Bois. All the inhabitants of the surrounding communes were called on to clear away the snow. COUILT-rASNEION.A33LII. The Duke and Duchess of Leinster and Lady Jane Fitz gerald are expected in Carlton-terrace the first week in April, from Carton House, Maynooth, for the season. Their Graces have been dispensing their usual hospitality at Carton during the winter. The Marchionesa of Normanby arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, on Saturday, from Mulgrave Castle. Earl Fitzwilllam, accompanied by the Hon. G. W. Fitzwil liam, M.P., is daily expected at Mortimer House, from Milton Park; near Peterborough. The Earl of Harrowby, Viscount and Lady Frances Sandon and family, have arrived in Grosvenor-square from Sandon Hall, Staffordshire, for the season. The Earl of Aberdeen is rapidly approaching convalescence. Lord and Lady Brougham had a dinner party on Sunday evening in Grafton-street. Her Ladyship commenced her soirees on Wednesday last. The Duke of Devonshire returned to Chatsworth on Friday last, from Hardwicke Hall.

An Anti-League meeting was hold at Bedford on Saturday. It was a poor affair. The Russells and Whitbreads, and prin cipal landowners, were absent, and not more than 200 at tended. Similar meetings were held at Croydon and King ston-on-Thames on the same day, and at Gloucester on Friday. In addition to the two rival railways to Rochester, the one starting from Gravesend and the other from Rosherville, a third line was introduced to public attention on Friday, at the meeting of the Thames and Medway Canal Company. This line is to consist of one line of rails, to be laid on the banks of the canal ; and as the 170,000/. expended on the canal was on works available to a railway, only 65,000/. are estimated as necessary for the proposed line, as well as for the required carriages, engines, stock, &c. _ _ The President of the Geological Society, Mr. Warburton, entertained the Council of that learned body at dinner, on Saturday, at the Clarendon Hotel. ' On Saturday a special meeting of the South-Eastern Railway Company was held in the board-room at the London-bridge station. Mr. Baxendale, the Chairman of the Directors, filled the chair. Resolutions were unanimously passed, authorising the Directors to apply to Parliament for an Act, for the improvement of Folkestone Harbour, and to take steps to enable them to carry a line from Ashford to Canterbury, Ramsgate; and Margate. The half-yearly meeting ofthe proprietors of the Norwich and Yarmouth railway was held at Norwich on Friday, George Stephenson, Esq.; Chairman of the Directors, presid ing. It appeared from the report read on the occasion, that arrangements have been made with the contractors to open the railway for public traffic on the Ist of May, instead of the Ist of June.

L'Herie, from the .Theiitre des Varietes, made a very successful debOt at this theatre last evening. He is one of the most versatile of actors, in fact, a French Mathews. The first piece in which he appeared was Le Roi et le Comedien, a piece which must he familiar to many of our readers, as it has already been adapted, more than once, if we mistake not, to the English stage. In this he appeared as Stolbach, the celebrated German • actor, who having undersaken, for the amusement of his friends, to personate Frederick the Great of Prussia, encounters the real Frederick, by whom he had been previously banished from Berlin for a similar piece of impertinence. The ' acting of L'Herie, as Stolbach personating Frederick, and of Barqui, as Frederick, • Was admirable. It was really scarcely possible to distinguish one from the other. At the fall of the curtain L'Herie was called for, and appeared, leading forward .Barqui. Le Roi et le Comedien is an excellent vaudeville, certainly one of the best that has been produced this season— it was moreover excellently acted and well put upon the stage. The vaudeville of )'Art de ne pas mouter su Garde followed, in which M. L'Herie. appeared as Victor, an actor who for neglecting to attend to his duties as one of the National Guard has been condemned to fifteen days' arrest.: He escapes from the gensdarmes, who are conducting him to prison, and takes refuge in the room of a young bonnet-maker. He hears the gensdarmes mount ing the stairs in pursuit, he bars the door, puts on an old dressing gown which he finds in the room, ties up his head with a handkerchief, takes his paints from his pocket, goes to the glass and makes up his face for an old man, and when the gensdannes arrive, they find him transformed into a garrulous, childish, old man. The transtbrmation was admirable ; and as it was made in the presence of the audience the effect was vastly increased. His acting was ex cellent ; never has a vieux bavard been better de lineated. He gets rid of the gensdarmes,, but meets with the suitor of the young bonnet-maker, who, taking him for the girl's uncle, asks his consent to the marriage. He gives it, of course, and then takes refuge in a cabinet, to endeavour to make his final escape. The girl herself then enters accompanied by one of her lovers, who is furious at finding Victor's hat on the table. In the midst of the dis pute Victor himself emerges from the cabinet disguised as a negress, the young bonnet-maker quits the room, and the negress commences snaking love to the jealous youth, who seems not altogether insensible to her attractions; but on kissing her hand he finds the black comes off . on his face, he suspects some trick, and Victor finding all further disguise use less boldly confesses his real character, and bullies the other out of the room. Victor then seeks refuge in the chimney, just in time to escape from his pursuers. They search the. room and the cabinet, of course without effect, and are about to search the chimney when Victor, in the garb of a chimney sweep, and speaking in the Savoyard dialect, appears before : them. He relates his family distresses, and so works upon the, feelings of, his auditors by his pathetic appeal, that he gets from them not only money but snuff-boxes, and other valuable articles. The real chimney-sweeper, with whom Victor had changed clothes, now appears, and poor Victor is at length captu re d. Th e act i ng o f L'H er i e was admirable throughout ; there was something exceedingly. comic in his personation of the negress, and his ramoneur was one of the most characteristic delineation's we have ever seen.

A Special Commission was opened yesterday before the Recorder, for the purpose of trying Charles M'Donald, who stands charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Green. A grand jury having been summoned under the Special Commission by the 9th of Geo. 4, c. 31, were charged by the Recorder, who described the nature of the case. The prisoner was the captain of a vessel trading to the coast of Africa. Having gone to Africa, and entered one of the rivers, he perceived one of the crew taking away a cask of palm oil, and he immediately followed in pursuit in a boat. A sli.)t was fired from the boat which killed the deceased. The Recorder. went on to lay down the law on the subject, and recommended the grand jury to find a true bill. The grand jury then retired.

Grant was now in Court, and ready to stand his trial. 311.. Justice CRESWELL said that when Capt. Grant had surrendered they would notice it. Captain Grant then rose, and having bowed to the Court, entered the dock. The Clerk then read the indictment, which charged the defendant, Captain Duncan Trevor Grant, with aiding and abetting Alexander Thompson Munro in the murder of David Lynar Fawcett, who had been killed in a duel which took place on the Ist of July, 1843, in the parish of St. Mary, Islington. The defendant was charged in a second count with aiding and abetting a person unknown in the said murder. The defendant having been called on to plead, pleaded " Not guilty" in a firm and decided voice. To the Coroner's inquisition he also pleaded " Not guilty." Mr. Justice CRES WELL asked the Attorney-General whether he was to prosecute ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied in the affirmative. Their Lordships having consulted for some time, Mr. Justice CRESWELL said that the Court could not try the case till Wednesday. They would first try the case of M'Donald under the Special Commission. 'Captain Grant then left the dock in company with the officer, who conveyed him to Newgate. Thomas Frost, 31, a person in the employment of the Post office, was indicted for stealing a sovereign, the moneys of the Postmaster-General, Lord Lowther. The Attorney-General, Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Adolphus, appeared for the Crown; Mr. Wilkins was instructed for the defence of the prisoner. The circumstances under which the charge was made against the prisoner have been very recently laid before the public. In consequence of some suspicion that was enter= tained of the prisoner, a marked sovereign was placed in a letter, which was addressed to some person in the City-road, and this letter was given to the prisoner among his letters for delivery. It never came to hand ; and upon an officer going to the prisoner's lodging, he found the marked sovereign in the possession of the prisoner's wife, who, it appeared, had rece►ved it from her husband. Mr. Wructiss took someieChniCal objection to the indict ment, which being over-ruled by the Court, he said it would be useless for him to attempt to struggle against the facts as proved, and he must, therefore, leave the prisoner to the mer ciful consideration of the Court. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was ordered to be transported for seven years. Thomas Dunnett surrendered to take his trial upon an in dictment for misdemeanour: Mr. Shepherd and Mr: Adolphus conducted the prose cution, which was framed in accordance with the provis►ons of the Merchant Seamen's Act, and Messrs. Clarkson and Ballantine appeared for the defendant. The offence with which he was charged was that, being the master of a merchant-vessel, called the Sarah Charlotte, he had unlawfully left three seamen, named 'Wilkinson, Gibbs, and Clive in a foreign country, without the consent of the Consul, these seamen having been shipped on board his vessel, under an engagement that he should bring them to England. It appeared that the three men were shipped at Guayaquil, to go to Bahia, and from thence to some port in England. The men were very ill, and one of them was in a most filthy state, and they were, in fact, unable to do any duty on board; and, on the arrival of the vessel at Bahia, they all went ashore, and were anxious to remain there, on the plea that they were too ill to do duty, but the surgeon refused to give a certificate to that effect, and, upon this the Consul declined to grant the certificate required to justify the captain in leaving the men ashore, but he did sign a certificate to enable him to take three fresh men on board his ship iu their place. For the defence it was urged• that these men had, in point of fact, deserted the ship, and that it was not the captain's fault that they . were left behind. It was also argued that the Consul's giving permission to the captain to take three fresh men on board was tantamount to a permission to leave the others behind. Witnesses were called, who proved that the men were in the state described. and also that one of them was unable to do the least work on board the vessel. The defendant also received an excellent character. Mr. SHEPHERD, in reply, said that there was no intention to impute any moral culpability to the defendant, but, at the same time, the Statute in question was one of very con siderable importance, and tended to the protection of seamen engaged in the mercantile marine of the country. He sub mitted that the evidence showed that, the Statute had been infringed, and that the defendant must be convicted upon the present indictment.. Mr. Justice CRESWELL having summed up, the jury -e -turned a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time strongly re commended the defendant to mercy. Mr. Justice CRESWELL, in passing sentence, said that offences of this description involved very different degrees of guilt. In some cases very great cruelty and injustice might be perpetrated towards seamen, by leaving them in a foreign country without any resource, and in others the offence might be of a very venial character. The present case, he thought, came within the latter class, and although the jury had found him guilty and the Court would have to pass judgmenthpen that verdict, yet the defendant would leave the Court without any stain upon his character. The de , fendant was then ordered to pay a fine of 51. to the Queen. . The fine Was immediately paid, and the defendant was then discharged from custody. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—We are at length within view of the termination of the State trials in Ireland. After the Solicitor-General had concluded his long, and, accord. ing to its form, able speech to evidence, and the Chief Justice, speaking for the whole Court (which is agreed), had delivered a charge of great length, the jury, on Saturday night delivered a verdict convict. ing each of the traversers upon one or more of the several counts (eleven in number), but omit ting to find any verdict upon several of these counts. It will be seen from this that the jury consider Mr. Daniel O'Connell guilty upon five counts, Mr. John O'Connell guilty upon two counts, Mr. Ray guilty upon three counts, Mr. Barrett guilty upon four counts, Mr. Steele guilty upon four counts, Mr. Duffy guilty upon five counts, Dr. Gray guilty upon three counts, and the Rev. Mr. Tierney guilty upon one count ; with refer ence to six of the eleven counts, the jurors had not come to any conclusion. This verdict was of course imperfect, and the jurors were, at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, locked up to this day, in order to complete it. Sensible as we are of the arduous task imposed upon the Learned Solicitor-Gene ral and the Venerable Chief Justice, we are much in disposed to criticise unkindly the course taken by either of them ; it is, however, but just to the jurors, who have been the sole sufferers by the error—if there has been an error—to say, that though the speeches of the Soli citor-General and the Chief Justice extended to a length which forced the case almost into the Sabbath, these speeches appeared to us to have been so much overdone, as rather to perplex than to aid the jurors in forming their decision. The speech of the Attorney-General in Opening the case was necessarily long, because he had to give for the first time, a narrative of trail. sactions extending over many months, and occur ring in various parts of the island. And the order and lucid arrangement of that narrative, assigning his part distinctly to each traverser, and its legal character. to each act, and showing the connection of all the acts, and of all the par ties, will scarcely be forgotten by any who heard or read the statement ; while every lawyer admits that it was a masterpiece of legal skill. The case as thus stated was to the letter sustained by evi dence, and its arguments were scarcely touched in all the long (and some of them eloquent) speeches of the seven or eight gentlemen who defended the traversers, and of the facts alleged not one was impugned by evi dence. Now, we respectfully submit that this was not an occasion for a long speech to- evidence on the part of the Crown counsel, who really had nothing to answer, and who, we must think, would have best < discharged his duty by a brief resume of the Attorney-General's statement, carefully imi tating the Right Hon. Gentleman's course of applying each act to its proper actor, gicving its legal character to each act, and assigning the acts to their respective pro per counts in the indictment ; such a resume would not have occupied more than a couple of hours at the ut.: most, and it would have relieved the jury from the con fusion and embarrassment in which they were evi dently placed by the mass of unarranged matter through which they have had no guide but the re collection of the Attorney-General's speech at the end of a month. As to the seven or eight oratioigh t , w deli vered on the part of the traversers, they m think, have been wholly disregarded by the prosecutors, not only with safety, but with advantage. The charge of the Chief Justice was more scientific and lawyer-like than that of the Solicitor-General ; but, though excellent in all its parts, it wanted the lucidus ordo indispensable to conduct to a knowledge of thelruth, when the acts of individuals are to be determined, characterised, and appropriated through a wide, in tricate, wilderness of events. The Solicitor-General's speech, and the Chief Justice's charge are deficient in this, that they do not take the counts in detail, which would appear to have been the convenient course, when it is considered that each count is, In fact, a distinct indictment. The dealing with the facts in gross reminds us of what once occurred (as it is said, on a London church) at the marriage of twelve men t o twe l ve women by a single oar-e. MOllly--•" We, John, Thomas, Jarass, &c., &c., take you, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane, Sarah, &c., &c., to be our wedded wives, and e converse with respect to the ladies." The happy couples, it is said, had giante difficulty and some disputes in "pairing eV and a somewhat similar- difficulty plainly embarrassed tho Dublin jurors, when called upon summarily to match the .59w6r41 traversers with the several counts of the indictment. Now this difficulty, we tams still think, would have been much diminisUed had the Solicitor-General been lesl excursive and diffuse— which in Irgl/md they call eloquent—and more sacciact and precise in his speech to evidence, The Court would have been under necessity for following him—the traverser -i would have heels relieved forty-eight 14sairs sooner from a painful t s l us ie r Z e oV t- A e ter p cl o a o y r imprisoned jurors ho in ha a d co to ld spendepA (and what a • day yesterday was I) fci ph of their _own, would have can In *the- enjoyment or, their firesides Rnd p . f _Socipi'y of their families. Now Oat iitteritlcp t§ directed to the soeiaj evil of land, we submit that Irish eloquence ought to be taken into consideration. We think that there are twelve go; tlemen in Dublin, th a t i s , if a ll h ave surv i ve d th e cold yesterday, who will agree with us, that unneces iarily and urbuitably fine speeches, are among these Sol evils. Notwithst a ndi ng th e g li mpse w hi c h we had of the jury -box, we shall not offer any oplui l as to the probable verdict. For anything we know. ° present, the jurors are comm i t t e d i n no respect ; thei, may acquit all or an y, or th ey may conv i ct a ll or OP , upon any of the co un t s , or u p on a ll o f t h em . We r e b sume, however, that if th ere b e any coun t u pon w they obstinately disagree, the Crown has the poweri: withdraw that count, so that th ere i s no d a nger 0 1 ,`i failure of justice through such disagreement in part. must be useless to say more upon a subject which pr" • bably has been already set at res t.
