THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM Julji 6. MORNING PAPES. [BRITISH PRESS.] In pursuance of the orders previously issued, the Privy Council assembled yesterday Morning at tervo'cloci, for - the purpose of hearing the al-- gurrOnts or - Counsel in support of QUeen', clakkto enjoy the honour of being crowned with Consort. The assembly of Privy Cene.sellors was the most numerous that has ever been fernembered, marking at once the solici tude.. with which the claim is regarded by the most. • distinguished men in the emrire, and the anxiety upon the part of the King's Majesty 'that it- s..honld be investigated with all the attention and - solemnity Is-hir...11 so ireportant a mater de serves. Brou.gham addressed the Council in a speech i.epiete 'with the most curious anti quarian and historical inforination upon the sub ject. Not 'satisfied with the records - of the Co rc•no-lions of I.C.ings and Queens 'of . the Stuart, Ten'inr, Plantagenet, and Norman lines,, the Lesrned Gentleman-explored with a careful cud discerning, eye the less* familiaiHnonuotetts of .S.xon story, and drew even from itern proofs and examples in support of the right for which he was contending. But however in tcresting and curious an inquiry of this. na tuie man - st, be into limes so 'far' remote, - Alr; Broegharn felt that it wassmore essential for his purpose to deduce the right of his. Royal Client from the practice, and the priiiciples as marked, h the practice,,of periods much more. trtodern and he accordingly specified, with extreme nil- 1 nuteness - and precision, the several coronations of the _variOns Monarchs . Who sway ed.„, the - British sceptre from the Conquest to the: Revolution,. and drew from them this 'conclusion, that it has ever in England been esteemed the• prescriptive right of a Queen Consort to enjoy the honours of a coronation, sometimes with the King, in cases 9f marriage previous to the Monarch's.ac- - cession'to the throne, and sometimes` without the King, in cases where the marriages have bean contracted subsequent to the accession.' It would he unnecessary for us to repeat the instances he produced, which will be found-in our report of ,the . proceedings before the Council. Mr. BroughaM's speeCh contains more information Upon thii'delicate .and interesting ,subject than has prabably ever been condensed into so .4rnall* a - space, and . it will, we doubt not, be hereafter -regarded as the completest and most satisfactory guide to the knowledge of the coronal clairried'by the Queens Consort of England. it has indeed never before, fallen to.the lot-of arty per son to feel the necessity of urging so laborious a research - intothis particular subject, for it is the peculiar misfortune of his-Royal Mistress to be the first Queen:Of these realms residing : in Eng land. who has- been" reduced' by the pressure 'of unfriendly powernto be threatened with an minions ekclusiOn from 'the Coronation of her -Consort and Sovereign. ht b admitted- by her, enemies, that, although accused of high offences, her Majesty must be now considered, with .re gayd to the question of innocvnee bi - gtfilt, as standing in the situation of one whose actions bad never been queStioned.

TimEs.] _ We have received, through an express from Madrid to Paris, advices of the `.6th ult. from the Spanish capital. A - popular ferMent seems to have been apprehended at the further date, on account of the hesitation shewn by the King on the convocation of an extraordinary Cortes. By the 9(301, however, it was understoOd that the point had been conceded by Ferdinand, and that the convocation Was finally determined on for the Ist October, by which the public minis bad been restored to tranquillity. The appeal of General Elio to the superior Court , of Valencia was - under discussion, -and fears were entertained by the"po pnir party, that the ,judgment of the tribunal of - the first instance, which had - condemned - him to death, would-be rescinded: A considerable body of troops had proceeded •to that city from Aiadrid, to protect him from the fury of the po pulace, should his sentence be reverted.. The new loan of the Spanish Government, which was said in _letters from Paris to have been concluded, is not yet contracted for. Some French capitalists were at Madrid for the purpose of conducting the e xpectell negociation, but several members of the Cortes being opposed to its expediency, the ac tual adoption of the measure was far from being conside'red certain. In the sales of the national domains, for the extinction of the old debt, much activity had been s'hown ; the whole amount sold exceeded 800,000,000 -of reals (about S,000,000?. sterling-Y. -One . letter states that the Empecinado has been recalled from the pursuit of Merino, who had become too insignificant to jus tify the employment of troops against him. . - [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Yesterday being, the -one on which the ac- - count of the revenue for the quarter from 'the sth April ended, we of course look; under the present eircarnstances of declining - income-in country, with great anxiety to the amountof each quarter's Revenue, fearing 'it must operate terially.on every article of;taxation.

Verdict, Insanity. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 2, 1821. IMPORTANT QUESTION RELATIVE TO THE TRIAL BY JURY. woLrE, APPELLANT. The appellant in this case was oneof the parties Who, together with Kinnear and others, was indicted and convicted inthe Court of King's Bench about a year and a half ago, fOc what was at the time termed .the Commercial Conspiracy.- In the course of the trial, it will be remembered, the Court ad journed, and the Jury, by the direction and- permisicn of the Court, were allowed ,in the interval to go at large.: This separation of the Jury was subsequently made the ground for an application for anew trial, in Support of which sonic attempt was made to show that one of the jurymen had been tampered with, but it failed, the petty: who had sworn the afilthwit not being to be fbund as described ;. the application, IROrev•er, was refused, upon the &wind' that no proof had been giVen that city .injury had been sustained by the party in consequence of the Jury having Se'parated, thus leaving the question of law, whe ther or no the Jury could legally be allowed to separate before -verdict given it a - criminal case,. wholly untouched. A writ of error wain nobs was subsequently obtained, and the case heard before the Judees, who delivered the judgment sub ' si lentio, as it is - termed i 7i. e; Without-assigning.. their reasons, af firming the previous d ec i s i on o f .t h e C our t o f King's Ilench, re fusing the new trial. In this manner the case cause on by writ of error in. the 'House of liirds, On Monday, for the reversal of. the.whble. proceedings l upon the assumption.of theillegalityof the separation of the Jury. . . - After hearing the arguments of Counsel on both sides, The Loan CHANCELLOR rose to deliver his opinion Upon the case, which involved a question' in his judgment, of the highest importance, and requiring the most mature and de...„ liberate consideration of their Lordships, lest in their decision they might-be-found to trench upon the very ConStitution itself. Before he proceeded to •obser ye upon-the question, he conceived it important to draw their Lordships' attention to the form and manner in Which the case came before' them. Their Lordships, when acting judicially, were a Court eof Appeal, not to make laws, but to declare-what the law realty was, by reversing or confirming the judgment given in the Courts below; but, from the consideration he lead been, able to bestow, 4 did not appear that any decision upon the question of laW had been delivered by the Judges. His Lordship 'then took a view of the proceedings in the'case, and remarked upon the circumstance' that the new trial.had been refused upon the, ground, as appeared f rom th e o pi n i ons ex p resse d .by t wo o f.th e judges, whose speeches he quoted, that no injury had been sustained, as no proof , had b - een given that the Jury had been tampered with. Without meaning' tee slightest disrespect to the Learned Judges who had espresso this opinion, he must be permitted to differ . froin'thir reasoning, as he could conceive the possibility, - and even. the probability ; of - the party's having _ actually, sustained injury without the capability of even knowing the fact; and still lets of being able to give it in proof. " An huh vidual might tamper with aJuryman without the fact being know • to any one but themselves; and such tampering was in law a misdemeanor, both in the Jurynian'and the person tampering with him, they would no doubt, as was their interest, take every precaution that the fact should. not be disclosed. It was clear, therefore, that injury might have been sustainedhidthout the possibility of proving the fact t and as it was also dear that this possible injury arose out of the fact of the Jury's being permitted by the Court to separate 'after they had been sworn, and before verdict g i v en , it was of - the highest importance that the opinion of the Judges on the question of the legality , of the-separation of the Jury should have been made known.— The question of law had, however, been avoided altogether in the decision of-the Court against granting ajiew trial. To obtain the-decision of the Court upon this point recourse had been had to the writ of error coram nobis, but the Judges had in that. case delivered their judgment sub • silentio ; their- Lord-- shipS were therefore left without any opinion whatever of the Judges upon the law of the question. He did not intend by these observations to east the smallest reflection upon the Judges of the land, whom he pronounced to be as pure. and as honour able as'any Judges that had at.any time graced the bench; he was aware that the practice:Of deciding, where it wits possible, upon the facts of thesase, without touching the law of • the question, had prevailed fbr .some length of time; it had been introduced by that great man Lord Illansfield, and he did not - mean to deny but that the !practice had; 'in most instances, been -pro ductive of considerable convenience and benefit to parties by promoting the dispatch, of' business i f but there. were cases in which great inj u ry might' be complained of where delay was essential. to the furtheranee of the ends of justice and the laws of , the land. ~In the •present case, through the adoption of this practice, their Lordships were called upon, not to reverse or confirm a judgment in law delivered in the Courts below, - for no opinionon the law had been given by the Judges, but .to decide the question of law themselves. rThia he considered was- not within the province of that House, Fes the High- Court of •Appeal; and would amount to the making of a law upon the subject, which, in that - House, as one branch only of the Legislature, would be an .assumption of unconstitutional atithority, .11 . 6 fell it, therefore, of the greatest importance, and I absolutely necessary, - before. their Lordships could decide this queation, that the Judges should be called upon to give their opinions.whether or no it was legal to permit a.jury sworn to, try a cause to separate before verdict given; and he wished it to be un derstood thatin - every case of appeal before that House; where the Judges had omitted giving their opinions. upon the law et , the question below, he should move that they be called upon to 1 deliverthird in that House. He did not mean to say that their Lordships would be bound by the opinions the Judges Might deliver ; their Lordships_ might probably. differ, but by hearing the Judges they would have that before them upon stanch they could with propriety act as a Court of Appeal, and it would be the duty of their Lordship.( to give their judgment: whether or not the 'law had been rightly propounded by the Judges. He had no hesitation in declaring his feelingkapon the subject; it was-One upon Which he had bestowed yfeat consideration; his attention having been drawn .to similar question some years ago, when lie had the misfortune to be engaged in the trials of 'Messrs. Hardy, Horne Took, • and Thelwall. In his inquiries upon that occasion,' he could find • but one instance in- which a Jury, after being- charged, had been allowed by the Court to separate and go at -large before verdict . given ; that was the case Of Elizabeth Canning; but in that instance the Jury separated-with the consent of both parties. Upen this case it was not .thought proper to act, on the occasion of the trials to which he had alluded ; and he would add, that the Learned Judge who presided, Lord Chief Justice Eyre, was a man whcse judg ment, integrity, and uprightness had never been questioned. He did_ not mean to contend that cases might not occur in which the Jury might legally separate, as the illness of one of the jurymen, or any other act of Gal buthe Was of opinion, unless sonie strong necessity could be .shown,: that such senaration. , ought not to. be allowed it was clear that danger and injury might. be sus tallied, and it was - therefore proper to guard against even the possibility of tampering with any of the Jurymen, which could only be effected by keeping them together without. the means of having communication. The appellant in this case, he ura. derstood, - was in prison ; he regretted it ; but his situation •or conduct would not weigh-in , his judgment : he had now been forty years practising in the law in the higher branches, and hod forbid he should have yet to learn, that everyman was consi dered-innocent in law until he was legally found guilty. • The. appellant complained that-he had nothad the law ,justly ad-. -ministered in his case ; . and he (the Lord Chanaelloo• felt,, that whatever Might be - his Situation, he was legally.and justly en, titled to It. His •LOrdship 'Concluded by moving; • that the twelve Judges-be directed: to attend that House. on Friday next, at twelve o'clock, which.was ordered accordingly. - A DREADFUL ACCIDENT happened yesterday afternoon, at the house of Messrs . . Peter, William, and George Wynne; stationers, 45, Paternoster row. -Some plumbers being employed taking up the old lead out of the 'gutter on the :.top of the building, in order to -replace if with new=, in tearing up the lead which was fa§tened under the brick-work, the coping stone and part of the parapet wall fell on the scaffolding; which was unsupported by poles, the boards resting on planks which projected out at the third - floor windows, and the -out ends being fastened with ropes to the parapets, the scaffolding,: in conse quence, with four men; fell to the ground, to gether ,with a quantity rof stone, bricks, and boards ; two of the men were .killed on the spot, the other twv :were dreadfully mutilated and carried to the hospital, where one of them shortly expired ; the other is not expected to live ; a fifth, wird was on the scaffold at the time, saved hitriself by clinging to one of the planks, and succeeded in gelting in atone of the windOws. There was a horse and cart standing in the street before the house at the time, but on the first part of the rubbish falling, the horse ran off; the cart was paetly - broke, and a man wile +stood in it:was much hurt, from som4.of the bricks falling on him.
