_EVEN INCr EDITION. Tde Mayor then desired me to enter the Court-yard, th, gate of which was closed after me, The Mayor . then took me to the building on the right of the hotel, asked me if that was fit for my service ; it was a room on the right flank. I said it would, and I imme diately proceeded to clear it of the furniture and other ar.,icles. The Mayor gave me instructions to conceal ray men as much as possible, to avoid irritating the mob, Nhicii was then approaching. To effect this, I closed 4 :he under shutters of the room : there were three pro og bow-windows. I had only time to give my men r instructions, when I heard cheering, and the Mayor t— i itt i me the mob was approaching. They formed in front f the,bousP, and I could see a few of the spear heads. ['hey immediately ht fly a volley of small arms. This emolished the windows of the room we were in. I immediately gave the word to load. I did not do this before, as I was in , hopevi matters would not turn out so zeriously. While my men were loading, about one-third of a minute, the crowd effected an entrance into the pass a g e , . . t which communicated with a door from our room. I soon as we had loaded, I stepped forward to unlatch one i of the widow shutters, and the Mayor opened another. Tius unmasked us, and a quantity of small arms were l discharged at us, by which the Mayor was twice ! wounded, and my sergeant at my side (Daly) wounded ! in the head. I saw him covered with blood immedi ately after. I heard them both say that they were hit. The Mayor said it to me only in a whisper, which could rot be heard by my men. He went and sat down. The . :ercreant also only spoke to me. My men soon got to work, i and enfiladed the streets from the bow windows, and the passage from the door way in our room. This I enntinued for about ten minutes, when I saw our shots i itad become thin for want of objects. The Chartists' I *hots were not repeated after our soldiers commenced i firing. I saw there was no more attack, and I ordered 1 the men to cease firing from the boa, windows. I then I made every preparation to strengthen my position in case of a second attack. We so employed, I entered a side-room leading from the passage, and found the two prisoners in the corner. I gave them over to my men as k risoners. I saw nothing in their hands ; but on i . examining their persons I found a quantity of ball am i munition on Benfield. When I saw them I was re -1 moving a dead body from the passage in case of a second ettack. They had evidently gone into the room to avoid the fire of my men, and could not get out again. 1 I. collected nine dead bodies. I dare say the Mayor 4 gavr me orders to ire ; but I do not recollect. I The prisoners were called on for their defence.—Ben field said, " I have nothing to say against this." Rees, through an interpreter, said " At eight o'clock they f came to every one's house to threaten them. He was i as much afraid to refuse as to go with them. There i was nothing in his hand when he came to Newport. He i had no more to say." 1 The prisoners were then committed to take their t trial for high tre a s o n. Aft er th ey were comm i tte d , t h e prisoner Rees said he never was before a justice before, and this was the way the innocent suffered far the guilty. The Court sat eleven hours. Jones, the watch-maker, of Pont-y-pool, for whom a reward of 1001. was offered, was taken on Thursday af ternoon, and brought into Newport handcuffed. He had been hiding from place to place since the riots, and this afternoon he went into a public-house, where he was soon recognized by persons present ; on discovering ..a'hich he fled, but was immediately pursued and sur rounded. He will be examined to-morrow. FRIDAY.—The Magistrates present this day were R. J. Blewitt, Esq., Sir B. Hall, Sir C. Morgan, W. Brewer, and L. Edwards, Esqrs., and the Rev. Mr. Coles. Townsend, who s committed last night, was brought up, and, after receiving a severe reprimand, was discharged. The case of William Jones was then called on. William Evans said--I am clerk to Mr. Morrisson of Crwmlyn. I know the prisoner Jones. I assisted in apprehending him yesterday in a field adjoining the Navigation Inn, at Crwmlyn. He passed through the Navigation Inn, and endeavoured to make his escape out at the back door, and had nearly reached the road, when I and Edward Jones followed him. He ran about thirty yards, and then drew a pistol out of his side pocket. I called to John Willis who was about fifty yards behind me, bo go and get his gun, and then Jones immediately surrendered himself. I knew nothing of the proceedings at Newport on Monday, but on Sunday night, at seven o'clock, I knew it was to take place, as crowds of people were passing through all night. I was at a distance, but I saw the lights. They did not attempt to molest me. 1 Edward Hopkins, superintendent of police, sworn—l received the prisoner Jones into my custody last night. I searched him, and found a printed paper containing an inflammatory address and seditious song, of which the following is a copy " THE HORN OF LIBERTY. " The horn of libertl sounded for the attendance of the populace on the long bridge across the Severn, by Llanid loes, where they were addressed by speakers from the 4 parapets, after which they hurried to the rescue of their I comrades, apprehended for training or acquiring the art of ' se- defence, held as dangerous by partial and jealous le tgislators to the peace and security of despotic government, and moral duty therefore converted into legal offence ; whereupon the authorities and their fore* (consisting of 1 some two hundred, or more, armed police, and hireling special constables, from a neighbouring district, rivals in , andent feuds, and suddenly ushered into the town, for the purpose of thereby suppressing their meetings) were corn ' pletely put to the route, April 30th, 1839. Vide report of the trial at the Montgomeryshire Assizes, 17th July, 1839, I of the Llanidloos and Newtown Chartists, defended by the writer, charged with training and attending unlawful t nie.et:ngs, &c., when forty individuals were convicted and adjudged—three to transportation, and the remainder to various terms of imprisonment, in Montgomery gaol; who now undergo their sentences." THE HORN OF LIBERTY.—Br HUGH WILLIAMS. " The herald of freedom sounds far in the dale, In notes full of rapture, sweep loud through the gale— Gay prelude of liberty's heart-thrilling voice— Now's the hour, my sons, to assert your free choice. Your efforts I'll aid to destroy the fell foe, So greet the death struggle with patriot glow. She comes, lo 1 she comes, to our blood-reeking land— she sighs at the wails of her long faithful band ; Her Martyrs she cheers, who indignantly scowl, As Despots add Insults to injuries foul. Fair truth and hunts,nity honour her train, I While Justice, rejoicing, thrice blesses her reign. " Uphold those bold comrades who suffer for you— Who nobly stand foremost demanding your due. Away with the timid—'tis treason to fear 1, To surrender or falter, when danger is near; For now that our leaders disdain to betray, 'Twere base to desert them, or succour delay I •"Tis time that the victims of labour and care, :Should reap for reward what is labour's fair share; 'Tis time that these voices in council be heard, Die, rather than pay for the law of the sword I I MI power is our's, with a will of our own ; W e conquer, united—divided we groan ! ' Come hail, brothers, bail, the shrill sound of the horn;— Fur ages deep wrongs have been hopelessly borne; Despair shall no longer our spirits dismay, Nor wither the arm, when up-raised for the fray ; The conflict for freedom is gathering nigh ; We live to secure it, or gloriously die I" " In speaking of g insults added to injuries,' I refer to the treatment the Chartists endure while in custody for politi cal offences. For instance, vide report of the brutal inde cencies committed upon nr. Taylor, and on Messrs. Lo vett and Collins in Warwick gaol, set forth by the latter ‘rt their two petitions to the two Houses of Parliament, .:rnid the scornful laughter of certain members of the House of Lords, and the morbid contempt of the Com ' mens ; also, an account of the privations imposed upon Messrs. Vincent, Edwards, Dickenson, and Townsend, in Monmouth Gaol; upon Dr. M•Dowall, at Salford; o r/ Messrs. Carrier, Roberts, and Potts, at Devizes; Ja Messrs. Powell and J. J. Lewis (of Cripplegate. in Montgotnery); and withal denied books, pen:ink, and paper ; and their communications subjected ! to the invidious inspection or interdiction of official med- dlers, who commend themselves by exercising paltry vigi lance. Such are the merciless and petty annoyances prac tised by revengeful instruments of arbitrary power, ema -1 rutting from an absolute Government against parties accus e d ] of sedition—an accusation so yaps- as to be impossible to I understand where the law ends, or crime begins ; but which 1 is said to mean, the bringing the Government and the laws into contempt, and exciting discontent, to the danger of the I public peace. If this be so, what ought to be the reward of a government or of a legislative body, which brings itself, by its acts or its laws, into contempt, and thereby causing • disaffection among the people ? Here, therefore, is an 1 anomaly that the rulers of any country, guilty of causing contempt by their measures, not only escape condemnation k but may not, for such conduct, be held up by any of the 1 sufferers, to public reprobation and obloquy ; or the offending parties become prosecuted by the perpetrators of the originating mischief, as its sole instigators; the contemptible, i n : Whig effect, punishing the contempt. The i . .Government appears a rare combination of incon gruities, and the sooner we behold its ' final extinction' the better; but, any how, time will best tell what may be got t y coercion ; we s h a l l see, by and by, what calculating men substance and capital, think of these goings on : let the Government cast its eye abroad for a little while. Affairs begin to easume reap roblem, new in political ethics, but w hi c h may not qre a seer to solve. It has hitherto been She ease to sacrificeithe people—it now remains to be seen oheart e case may be reversed, and the people can when they betray aders, have the Power , if they tbbeequenees. Time will ;•ave the united will to avert all 'how this also. But if this do happ e 1 the , the Ising genera - !ion will probably profit by it, so that in events, some gleams of h o p: 4, B :an . c p e ol t i h ti e c r a e l are, a: all hearth, horizon appears lowering at last over the domear Ilere, for we are about to have regularly disciplined 1-!t loose upon us, in pristine and compound terr ors,gaad therefore, I must for the present pause.Nv . ,, I also took from his pocket 1/. 12s. The witness th en repeated his former evidenee as to the attack on th e Westgate Hotel, on Monday, John Prosser—l live at New Inn, ire the parish of lanteague, in the road from Pont-y-pool tr, Newport. My mother keeps the inn, and I live with her. On Sunday night last about two hundred men came to ow,. house. It was between eleven and twelve o'clock. Most of them were armed. I know Jones, the watch maker. The prisoner at the bar is the man ; be came in with the men. They called for beer. Jones asked for a noggin o f rum, to put into a jar, which he pulled out of his po c k et . At t h at t i me I saw him pull out I something like a dagger. He asked my sister how she should like that stuck into her ? She said, " Ob, Lord ! Mr. Jones, what have you got ?" He smiled, and said, " Nothing." I saw the dagger. About that time, one of the men jumped up and took a gun that was hanging in the kitchen. The men took it into the passage, and tried the lock. There was no flint in it, and another man took a flint out of his pocket, and put in the gun, and then fired it. I took hold of it, and said " You must not have this gun ; it is mine, and I want it." The men would not give it tip. I then went to the bar, and told Jones, and asked him to get it back. Jones said " Oh, never mind about the gun, I'll see you shall have it back again." Jones returned to the kitchen, and was tapping the men on their backs, and said " Now, my lads, light your pipes, and let us go on." There was a great noise proceeding from a great number of men both inside and outside of the house. Cross-examined by the prisoner —There were only three or four persons in the house when you came in. When you showed the dagger you did not appear to have any intention to use it. You have been on friendly terms with our family for years. I should be sorry to come against you, but I was compelled to do so. I thought it was a joke your showing the dagger to my sister. _ Edmund Douy—l am a carpenter living at Risca. I never saw Jones but once ; it was at Sirhowby lectur ing the people, and I knew him after. He was lecturing about the Charter. He was telling the people that they ought to have their rights. Ido not know whether Frost was there. I saw the prisoner between breakfast and dinner on Monday last. I saw him by the High Cross public-house, leading from Risca to Newport. He came across the field, apparently from the canal. He came over a stile into the road ; there were 50 or 60 men with him. Some of them were armed with guns and sticks. Those with Jones were walking, but there were others running from Newport. Jones asked them what made them run away. He said that Dr. Price was going to meet him with seven pieces of cannon, and that if the men did not stand true he should be hanged and the other ringleaders. He then went into the public-house and I went home. The prisoner declined saying anything, and he was then committed to Monmouth gaol on a charge of high treason. There were about seventeen or eighteen other cases of minor importance disposed of. Nearly all were per sons who had been arrested on suspicion, and there being no evidence against them, it was thought right not to detain them in custody longer. Three or four were committed as vagrants, not being able to give a satisfactory account of themselves. The remainder were remanded. The Court adjourned at half-past six. SATURDAY, Nov. 9. The peace of the town has been restored, but trade remains completely at a stand-still, the entire attention of the inhabitants being devoted to attendance and anxious inquiries respecting the prisoners. During the examination of Jones the watchmaker, yesterday, who is one of the chief Chartist orators of the neighbourhood, acting as the coadjutor of Frost and Vincent, the Court was crowded to excess ; and among the visitors we ob served Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., of Tredegar ; Col. Millman, of the Guards ; the Lord Lieutenant of the county ; Colonel Considine ; Colonel Lewis, of St. Pierre ; Mr. W. Williams, M.P., Llangibby Castle, &c. Jones will be removed this morning to Monmouth Gaol, for trial at the special commission, which is, I understand, agreed upon ; and Mr. Maule, Solicitor to the Treasury, will be here this morning to prepare the indictments. If we need proof that the plan has been long ma tured, the quantities of arms of all descriptions pos sessed by the deluded men of the hills gives sufficient evidence of the state of preparation ; nor can its or ganization be doubted when we find among the prisoners men who have worked in one employment for twenty years marching a distance of 20, 30, or 40 miles to the attack, many of whom had never been in Newport pre viously in their whole lives ; added to which it may be stated, that it has been proved that in some portions of the iron and mining districts no person would be allowed to remain even for four hours without enrolling himself in the secret Chartist Lodge of the place, with its sections, its captains, and companies, that all the boys were formed into Youth's Chartist Lodges, and the " women" into their Fe males Associations. The secrecy their designs were conducted with may be gathered from the fact, that although the march of the rebels was joined simulta neously by parties living nearly 50 miles apart, yet the Magistrates were entirely ignorant of the fact, and en tirely unaware of their designs, until the very day pre vious to their being carried into operation. One of the Magistrates himself informed me that he was secretly informed by a Chartist messenger, who respected him, and wished to preserve his life, of the intended attack, and that he was to be sacrificed on Sunday night as he was going to chapel, previous to which nothing definite was known of their intentions. Yet at this very moment were there 300 Chartists in possession of one of the gates within half a mile of the town—outlying parties in ambush upon every road, and Jones boasting that they were to be joined by a Dr. Price with seven pieces of can non, and Frost marching at the head of thousands to at tack the town in the dead of the night, from which they were only prevented by an act of Providence, a terrific night of rain and darkness, which prevented them from completing their march until the mor n i ng . If th ey h a d succeeded in arriving during the night, the Westgate, then undefended by soldiers, would have been surprised, and the town sacrificed with the lives of the inhabitants. This was fortunately prevented, and the bravery of the troops preserved the town from being sacked by the lawless multitude. The Magistrates assembled at eleven o'clock, there being present the Rev. J. Coles, chairman, Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Brewer, and Mr. Edwards. The first pri soner of importance examined was Edward Frost, uncle of John Frost, when the following evidence was offered : Miss Emily Hunt sworn—l am a governess, re siding at Stow-hill, Newport. I was at home on Monday morning last. I saw at nine o'clock a great crowd coming down the hill, most of whom had guns, pistols, pikes, and other arms. I was greatly alarmed. I did not see any one I knew with them. I know the prisoner, and saw him going away from amongst them. I heard the prisoner say to a man " You are running away." The man replied " There shall not be one of us run away ; we are tired now." I heard firing to the best of my recollection. What occurred in re ference to Mr. Frost took place after the firing. The prisoner appeared quite cool. The man said to him, " There will be 20,000 more down by and by, but we have had no rest since Friday, and we are very tired." Cross-examined by the prisoner.—l supposed that the man you spoke to was a Chartist, as he came from among the body. I come here by compulsion to give evidence. I was so frightened that I did not notice the colour of your clothes. I have heard you were a Chartist. I profess to be an Independent Dissenter. The Rev. Edward Rees Taylor examined.—l am Curate of St. Woblas Church, Newport. I saw a great crowd approach on Monday morning last. I heard sol diers pass when I was in bed. I knew they were soldiers by the measured step. I did not get up, having a bad cold. I got up shortly afterwards, and as I was dress ing the Chartists passed. I reside at the house where Miss Hunt lives. I think I saw 5,000 Chartists, armed variously. They were going down, I think, five abreast, not quite in regular order, as I heard many people de• sired to fall in. This lessened my alarm, as I consi dered they could not stand against the soldiers. I then heard the firing, and shortly after the Chartists running back, and then I came out of my lodgings. The first person I saw was the prisoner talking to Mr. John Wil liams, the maltster. The examination is being continued. The Mayor is better, but Sergeant Daly's and Mr. Morgan's wounds have assumed a bad appearance. COTT OP ♦ LETTBIL JUST RECEIVED BY THE MtGIS TRATES, DATED FRIDAY NIGHT. I am glad to inform you that all appears quiet at present in the neighbourhood, and that nearly all the colliers resumed their work this morning. There is a general feeling of execration expressed by the men now (how sincerely I know not) towards the three principal " leaders for their conduct in running away, and leaving the people to take their chance after leading them to the slaughter." I am inclined to believe, from circum stances which have occurred, that one of the ruffians who attacked Mr. Llewellin's house at Abercarne was one of the persons shot dead at the Westgate. 11 ° I3 e c n I came"ci. NEWPORT, SATURDAY NIGHT, Henry Scard, a policeman, examined—Wh e n d ___ W out of the house I saw another man with a pike. I pointed him out to a specia l c o nstable, but he said he would have nothing to do with him. The constable's na me is Davis, who keeps a beer house. The conse quence of this was, he escaped. After I came back saw four dead bodies in the street, and five insid e the house. I afterwards saw one in the Friors'.field s . I saw many persons wounded ; I saw a great quantity of arms, and picked up upwards of 150 weapons myself. I also picked up powder and ball. I searched the house of a person named Aust, a gardener at Malp as , who has been committed for hi g h treason. I found there a Chartist card, with " Edward Frost, treasurer." upon it. That card, now produced, is the card. The names on the card were " Edward Frost, treasurer, and Charles Waters, secretary." The words on it were, " Newport, Monmouthshire, Working Men's Associa tion. It is safe to do right. This ticket to be renewed quar terly. July 23 to October 22, 1839. No. 79. Edward Frost, treasurer, Charles Waters, secretary , Jo hn Par trividogrek,ipnrinter, Newport." I found another ca rd in the same dauneded o d h r ou e s r e . . have read it. (The card was he re p ro- The words on it are " Monmouthshire g Men's Associatio n .

The flasks con- I tained about half a pound of powder. I brought the things I found away with me, and returned into this town. I here saw Aust and his wife. Aust was in custody with other persons. I asked Aust in the pre sence of his wife if he had placed anything in the chimney of his house. His wife said there was ❑othing there but what they bad bought and paid for. She said she would swear she had placed nothing in the chimney, and if there was anything but a bag of straw other persons had placed it there. Aust also said he would swear he had not placed anything there, and that he had no thing to do except with the Chartists, and that he paid a penny a-week to their funds up to the present time. I asked him of whom he had the cords I found in his house, and he said that be had them from Mr. Frost ; he did not say which Mr. Frost. The prisoner, having been cautioned, said, would they point out to him what was high treason ? Court—Not to argue what is the law. Prisoner—l don't want to argue, I want instruction. Is the evidence given against me sufficient to convict me of high treason ? Will you give me an answer ? Court—No. Prisoner—l do say I was not out of Newport-church yard until half an hour after all the transaction was done. I will bring numbers to prove it. I had nothing whatever to do with it. I was standing with Mr. Payne until the whole of the mob had passed the upper side of the Pine-end of the Six Bells ; then I went over from Mr. Payne's, and was at my own house for considerable time ; and I stayed in the church-yard for a consider able time, and I stood there until I saw hundreds and hundreds, and many hundreds flying. After I had stood a considerable time, for I was afraid to go down into town, I proceeded slowly with Mr. Williams, the mal ster, and in our going down we met Mr. Taylor and Mr. Evans coming up, and Mr. Evans said he thought it would be very dangerous for me to proceed further, he had seen two or three dead bodies. "Is there is danger," I said, "I am sure I will not go further." I went home, and never came out again further than a few yards until between 3 and 4 o'clock in the evening, when I happened again to see Mr. Williams, and went down into town with him. The prisoner asked "Is it necessary for me to produce evidence ? I believe the witnes es have made an error with regard to the time ? Must I call witnesses?" The CHAlRMAN—Certainly ; you may send for any witnesses you think proper. The prisoner then called .... Eliza Llewelin—l am daughter of Mr. Edward Frost, the prisoner now charged. An hour and a-half had elapsed after the mob had passed before you went out. I shouldn't think it was more than five minutes after the last of the Chartists passed when you came to your own house. You continued there nearer an hour than any other time. Ido not recollect seeing you go into the churchyard. I recollect your staying in the house until after dinner. Sarah Frost sworn (examined by the prisoner)—You were standinc , with Mr. Payne when the mob passed. More than half an hour passed after they had gone by before you left Mr. Payne. You then continued in your house an hour. I am not certain whether my father went into the house, but I saw him in the house, at as near as I can say, half-past 9. I did not see my father go out of the house before dinner or after. James Payne (by prisoner)—l am a road-surveyor at Stow-hill. I recollect being with the prisoner at Stow hill when the mob passed. We continued together until the whole of them had passed. We might have con tinued together for five or ten minutes after they had passed. You went into the churchyard. About an hour and a-half after I saw you in the churchyard. It was then about eleven o'clock, or ten minutes after wards. Cornelius Evans sworn, examined by the prisoner— I live on Stow-hill, and am a schoolmaster. The first time I saw you on Monday morning was at a little before nine o'clock. We walked down to the brow of the hill leading to the Waterloo-gate. The effect of the ap pearance of the Chartists was very terrible to me, and you shed tears. The prisoner —I was afraid. Examination resumed—l certainly expected at first that they would have gone the lower way to the town. I then came up with the prisoner, and returned to my own house. Just as the firing commenced I saw an immense body of men come up the road ; they divided into two bodies, one went by the Friars, and the other the road towards Bazeley, and Captain Stack brought out his men in double quick time, and formed them across the road, and the mob threw down their weapons and ran away. The CHAIRMAN-Mr. Frost, when you were brought into this Court to-day, you were brought in the first, because you had been long in confinement, and we had hoped that your case would have been so short as not to have occupied five minutes, and we should have had the satisfaction of discharging you ; but circumstances of such strong suspicion have arisen in the course of the investigation, that we consider it our duty to bind you over, yourself in 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, to appear at the next gaol delivery to answer any charge which may be brought against you. COMMITTAL OF COVELL, THE LEADER OF THE ATTACK. John Lovell was next brought in and charged with high treason. The prisoner was shot through the thigh on the day of the insurrection, and was brought in wrapped in a blanket, and placed to lie upon the stretcher ; he seemed very low and much affected. Edmund Williams, examined by Mr. Prothero.— On Monday morning last I was between the Waterloo gate and the weighing machine ; I saw a number of men cominc , towards the weighinc , machine—they w ere arme d with deadly weapons. I know the prisoner John Lo vell—there he is ; he was with the men I saw coming from the Waterloo-gate ; he was armed with a gun ; there were 200 before the prisoner ; they ordered me to fall in ; I was not willing to do so, and they caught hold of me. I was compelled to go, and I soon after escaped. I was sworn in as a special constable in the month of May last. I remember the day Vincent was brought here for examination. Lovell was one of the mob on that day in front of the King's Head. I mean the Say when Vincent was here. The mob that day at tacked the constables, and endeavoured to force their way into the King's Head. Lovell.was with that mob. The prisoner knew that I was a special constable. The second day I saw the prisoner Lovell pass by the weigh ing-machine. He then said " He's blank there, he's d—d blank ; he's d—d special, and he made himself d—d busy, and I'll fight any d—d special among them for a sovereign." He then said 6 ' You shall see that the Chartists are not all dead yet." He said " the specials had been very busy, and some of them should be marked yet." Mr. Morgan was present when he said this. Francis Morgan sworn, and examined by Mr. Pro thero—l live at the Porto Bello weighing machine. I was there on Monday morning last. I know John Lovell the prisoner. I have been in the habit of seeing him almost daily, and I cannot be mistaken in his per son. I saw Lovell there, but I was so much terrified that I can't say whether he carried a gun or not. The prisoner said to me" Are the Chartists all dead my boy ? What do you think of us now ?" I made no reply, and they passed on. I have before now, at different times said to the prisoner " How are the Chartists getting on now ?" and he would say " They are going on very well." Thomas Dyer, examined by Mr. Prothero.—l lately resided with Mr. Phelps, of Stow-hill, as his butler. I was at Mr. Phelp's house on Monday morning last. I saw, about nine o'clock, an immense body of men com ing down, between 4,000 and 5,000. The front part were arranged in military order, marching in lines. I saw the prisoner marching with the mob. He had a single-barrelled gun in his hand. He saw me, called me by my name, and said, " Come with us." I did not go with them, in about ten minutes after I heard firing. Matthew Pembro, examined by Mr. Prothero.—l was at home on the morning of Monday last. I saw a large number of persons coming down Stow-bill ; the mob filled the street entirely. I saw the prisoner among them, about 20 or 30 from the front. I know him well, for he used to attend a club at my house. I am certain it was he ; he carried a gun on his shoulder ; he spoke to me, and said, " Fall in, fall in ;" in a very short time afterwards I heard firing. Henry Evans—l am a saddler in N ew p or t ; I was at home on Monday morning last. I saw a large num ber of persons coming down in the direction of Stow-hill about nine o'clock. The men most in advance went to the gate leading to the Westgate -yard. There was a man a little in advance, who appeared to lead them to the gate. After he had gone to the gate I saw him re turn again and speak to some one. The person to whom he so spoke appeared to be leading the mob at the time. I don't know the man who went to the gate, but the leader of the mob to whom be spoke was Lovell, the gardener. The prisoner is the man ; I was so wall acquainted with his person that I could not mistake. Lovell immediately addressed the mob, but I did not hear what. The mob immediately fired on the house. Immediately after the prisoner addressd the mob, he went into the thick of the mob, and I lost sight of him. Daniel Evans sworn—l am a shopkeeper and tailor residin g in Newport. The first man had a sword, and waved his hat with his left hand. He was dressed in a blue coat, and had a handkerchief round his middle. I perceived him lead them up to the Westgate. When he saw the gate was fast he withdrew the mob, and led them to the front door. I know Lovell ; I see him now. lam well acquainted with him. It is the pri soner who i s l y i ng on hi s b ac k . I saw hi m in t h e mo b with a gun. He appeared to be active. The last place I saw the prisoner previous to the firing was when the mob were returning round the front entrance. Lovell came round the corne r and called to the men, " In, my men." He walked b y those wordsdistinctl the sid e o f t h e mo b, and I heard y. After he said that, the mob in stantly assailed the house. The shutters were then opened by the soldiers, and I then ran into my N e wport ; the Ch art i st meetings were held there afit house for fear of being shot.

Lovell was one of the leading members of the Chartist Committee, and I never knew a meeting with out his attendance. I heard Lovell often say, " They would have the Charter." I heard him say at various times, " If they should not have the Charter by fair means, they would have it otherwise." I saw him with the mob at Vincent's meetiks The prisoner was then committed for trial for high treason and sedition, and was again curried to-bed. The Court adjourned at half-past eight o'clock to Monday morning. VISIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS! THE DUKE OF SUSSEX (Abridged from the Newcastle Chronicle of Thursday, Nov. 7.) _ _ . . At an early hour preparation; were made at the As sembly Rooms for the reception of the Royal Visitor and his distinguished party ; and shortly before twelve o'clock, a guard of honour of the 98th, from the bar racks, preceded by the band, took up a position in the green in front of the Rooms, to be in readiness to re ceive his Royal Highness. As soon as his Royal High ness arrived in the town, the bells of the several churches were rung, and a royal salute was fired from the castle guns. Below will be found as full an ac count of the proceedings as our time and limits will allow. MONMOUTH. (From the Hereford Times.) On Friday evening last some excitement was created in this town, in consequenc e of its being rumoured that the Chartists on the hills intended coming to Mon mouth, for the express purpose of releasing Vincent and the other Chartist prisoners now in confinement in our county gaol ; little attention, however, was paid to it, as numerous reports of the same description have, for the last six months, occasionally been circulated ; this apathetic indifference was roused on Monday morning, at half-past three o'clock, by the sounding of the bugle, summoning the troop of Lancers, sta tioned here, to arms. The violent knocking at the doors of the public-houses, where the soldiers were quartered with the sound of the bugle at such an un usual hour, caused an alarm and consternation through out this quiet town, which it is impossible to de scribe ; the inhabitants rushed from their beds, as though each of their dwellings was in flames ; terror spread from house to house, and the most anxious in quiries were heard being made in all directions, by the affrighted half asleep people, just aroused from their slumbers, their heads thrust out at the windows. A thousand rumours were afloat ; " the Chartists are coming," was the most common report, and on the faces of the inquirers (who, scarcely awake, and in their night dresses, passed from window to window, the anxious, oft-repeated question, ." In th e name o f G o d ! w h at i s the matter ?") was depicted the most painful anxiety, heightened by the glare of the gas-lights, which re vealed the figures of the inhabitants, some running to and fro, others assembling in small groups, engaged in deep and earnest conversation. In fact, you may judge of our dreadful state of anxiety, when it was commonly believed that the town was about to be stormed by thou sands of ar m ed and infuriated colliers and miners. In a short time, all persons had left their beds and were dressed. It appeared that the Mayor bad, on the preceding evening, received intelligence from various quarters in the lower part of the country, to the effect, that a general rise of the Chartists at the different iron works and collieries, would certainly take place on the Monday. This information determined the Mayor to instantly order the military under arms ; and the bugle was accordingly sounded throughout the streets. The troop of Lancers remained under arms, their horses ready saddled and bridled ; a despatch was sent to Bristol for more troops, and out-posts were established to bring in the earliest intelligence. Monmouth now presented the animated but melancholy spectacle of a town awaiting the approach of a besieging army. Bu siness, of course, was suspended ; and our feverish anxiety was kept up throughout the day, by the cir culation of reports, as various in themselves, as all of them were dreadful ; our suspense was at length ended, by the arrival of the Bristol Mail, from which we had the fearful tidings that a terrible riot had taken place at Newport, attended with a fearful sacrifice of life. THE CHARTIST PIKE.--The following is a des cription of the iron head of one of those most formid able weapons, the Chartist pikes ; the handle is of wood ; the length from the point of the spear to the end of the handle is about six feet ; both edges of the hook are sharpened, and were intended principally for cutting bridle-reins. It seems that the Chartists calculated upon using these pikes very effectively in their expected conflict with the cavalry. A large number of the pikes have double hooks, or rather, a sharp-pointed spike jutting out on the one side and a hook on the other. CHARTIST MODE OF IMPRESSMENT.—We have stated that the Chartists forced men of all classes to join their ranks ; a short description of their diabolical mode of procedure may not be uninteresting. A band of forty or fifty Chartists, armed with pikes, guns, and other mortal weapons, march to a house, and if the door is not instantly opened to them, they threaten at once to attack and demolish it. They then enter the house in a body, and demand that the master and every other man on the premises instantly join their ranks ; at the same time stating, that no harm will come to the women and children, as they (the Chartists) have sworn not to injure them. If the master refuse, he is then seized and dragged forth, placed in the centre of the band, a file of men behind him with presented pikes ; thus is he marched off. If he attempt to escape, he does so at the imminent peril of his life. Many of the peaceable inha bitants, in this coerced state, accompanied the insur gents to Newport, where, in the confusion and defeat before the Westgate Hotel, they managed to effect their escape. But by far the larger portion of the well-disposed, obtaining information of the Chartists' intention, instantly collected all the valuable property they could carry and took their flight to Abergavenny. Let the wife or husband, father or mother, brother or sister, picture in their mind, the agonizing state of the hapless men who had sought refuge in Abergavenny, on Monday, having left their wives and children on the hills, dependent on the promises of peaceful intent, made by men who had boasted of their disregard of life and pro perty—that state bordered on despair, when the news arrived of the conflict at Newport. Abergavenny, on Monday and Tuesday presented all the bustle of a great fair, but, instead of the appearance of business, all was dread and consternation. Among the refugees, was Mr. Robert Pritchard, (formerly landlord of Monmouth Cap Inn). Mr. Pritchard keeps a public-house at Syr-howy ; he was visited by a press-gang of Chartists, and reso lutely refused to go ; overpowered by numbers, he was dragged out of his house, when just as he was being placed in the centre of the gang, his wife rushed out of the house, and threw her arms around his neck, vowing that no earthly power should tear them apart ; in vain did the ruffians attempt to separate them ; she clung to her husband with the most determined bravery, and in this state they were thrust and dragged forwards for nearly half a mile ; at length the rebels finding their endeavours unavailing, sent Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard home, and so pleased were they with the courage and affection of the wife, that they protected them with an escort. At a few minutes before twelve, his Royal Highness arrived at the Assembly Rooms, where he was received by the members of the committee, and other gentlemen assembled, the guard of the 98th regiment presenting arms, and the band playing, " God save the Queen." In the picture-room he received ADDRESSES FROM THE CORPORATE BODIES OF NRW- CASTLE AND GATESHEAD, which were read by the Town Clerk. His Royal Highness read the following answer : Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses,—l accept with the warmest gratitude the kind expressions con tained in your address to me. With every man of high honour, next to the self-satisfaction derived from a con scientious conviction that he has performed his duty honestly and uprightly for the benefit of society, the ap probation and good will of his fellow-citizens and coun trymen, ought to be the object of his ambition, as it is his highest reward. I, therefore, feel deeply the com pliment you have paid me. Seventeen years have now elapsed since I visited your loyal city, when I had the honour, as well as the pleasure, of laying the foundation stone of a building which was then erected for the use of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle. It affords me great satisfaction to learn and to see that the improvements which have since taken place in this town and its neighbourhood, and which have benefited the country in general, emanated from this enlightened institution, supported by your energy and liberality. am, therefore, greatly indebted to those gentlemen who, at that time, allowed me to co-operate with them in erecting so noble an edifice, while on the present occa sion I rejoice with you at the result of such spirited and munificent exertions ; and fervently do I pray that the blessing of a benign Providence may continue to shine on this city, as well as on all other enlightened, liberal, and charitable institutions of this land. The Rev. WM. TURNER, as one of the Vice-Presi dents of the Literary and Philosophical Society, beg ged, in their name, to return their best thanks to his Royal Highness, and to assure him that they held in most grateful remembrance the kindness of his Royal Highness in sanctioning the foundation of a buildihg which had been of great advantage in promoting the in terest of literature and science in Newcastle. JOHN BARRAS, Esq., Mayor of Gateshead, with several members of the Council, presented to his Royal Highness their dutilul and loyal address. His Ro) al Highness read the following reply : " Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Burge sses of . the Borough of Gateshead, _ " I thank you for the hearty welcome you have afforded me. Being so closely allied to, and connected as I am with her most gracious Majesty, my beloved niece, by ties of blood as of personal affection, the assurance of your attachment to me is most gratifying to my heart, inasmuch as it 'is a pledge of your devo tion to her sacred person, who desires only to govern her people according to the principles of the British Constitution, established by the laws of the land, which have declared the rights and duties of the Sove reign, as well as defined those of the subject, and the strict observance of which must tend to cement indis solubly, mutual love and confidence on both sides. " These were the conditions to which my forefathers agreed and pledged their faith when called to reign over the destinies of these realms. I have always supported these principles as a faithful and loyal subject, and I trust that so long as a scion of the House of Brunswick exists, he or she will never forget those pledges so cor dially and religiously given." His Royal Highness afterwards attended the ♦NNIVERSARY MEETING OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE FINE ARTS, which was held in the small Assembly-room, and which was crowded to excess. The Earl of DURHAM took the Chair. After the Report had been received and the prizes given, and after Mr. Ord, M.P., Mr. Easthope, M.P., Mr. Hull, M.P., and Mr. Hawes, M.P., had addressed the meeting, His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, amid much applause, said, in the first instance he trusted they would allow him to express the great pleasure he felt in listening to the Report which had been read, inasmuch as, before one got connected with a society it was only right to know the objects for which it was established, and to ascertain if its conductors had acted up to the professions which they had made, and certainly, from the Report, be would say that the account given was both gratifying and encouraging to him.—(Applause.) At all times it gave him great and sincere pleasure to see science advance, not only amongst the higher orders, but amongst the industrious and middle classes, because such an advance was best calculated to raise the moral character of those in the humbler ranks of life, and lay the foundation of all that was good in well-regulated society.—(Applause.) Institutions cf this nature de served the highest support ; as a humble individual, he would be proud and happy to contribute, as far as he could, to this excellent Institution.—(Cheers.) As had been stated by the Honourable Gentleman who seconded the motion, he presided for seven years over the Royal Society, and it was a great object with him to produce unanimity and good will amongst all its members, which was not the case when he succeeded to the situation.— (Applause.) He then said to himself—are you capable of entering into the details of these learned Societies —and he candidly confessed that, with the knowledge he had, he was not capable, but he thought, by keep ing the members of the Society in good humour, and in making them feel that what was for the benefit of one was for the benefit of all, he could promote the success of the Society. They had the good sense to see that the suggestions he made to that effect were valuable, they carried them into effect , a n d the merit rested upon their shoulders and not upon his. He approved of the resolution which admit t ed the lower orders to the exhibitions of the Society ; it would im _ (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) prove their taste and learn them to have respect for PORTSMOU TH , Nov. 9.—The Revenge, 76, Capt, works of art ; it would learn them that eyes Hon.

THE PUBLIC BREAKFAST, Which was laid out in the large Assernlily Kcom, upon four tables extending the whole length of the room, at the upper end of which was a cross table for the accommoda tion of the illustrious Duke and his distinguished attend ants. Upwards of 340 ladies and gentlemen sat down, J. Fife, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, supported on the right by the Duke of Sussex, the Marchioness of Normanby, Lord Lambton, Lady Mary Lambton, and Lady Emily Lambton ; on the left by the Earl of Durham, Lady Cecilia Underwood, the Countess of Durham, Lady `Williamson, and Miss Annie Fife. Among the com pany we observed Sir H. Williamson, C. Buller, Esq., M.P., J. Easthope, Esq., M.P., B. Hawes, Esq., M.P., W. Ord, Esq., M.P., C . Bl ac k ett, E sq., m.p., W. Hutt, Esq., M.P., A. White, Esq., M.P., Mrs. R. W. and the Misses Brandling, Mrs. Headlam, John Brand ling, Esq., John Cookson, Esq., Miss Cookson, John Barras, Esq., S. Ilderton, Esq., &c. The fine band of the 98th was in attendance in the music gallery, and played several beautiful airs in their accustomed style of excellence. Breakfast being over, The CHAIRMAN called for a bumper, and gave " Our gracious Queen—God bless her !" Drunk with three times three and great applause, the band playing the national anthem. The CHAIRMAN, after describing the Duke of Sussex as the friend and advocate of the best interests of his kind, and might he long live to enjoy the satisfaction and the glory of doing good, proposed " The health of the Duke of Sussex." The Duke of SUSSEX rose amid renewed plaudits, and said, in returning them his thanks, he could not help looking back seventeen years ago, when he had the pleasure of dining in that room, but when, from circumstances which he did not need to explain to the ladies, he was deprived of the society of the best orna meats of that room.—(Applause.) It afforded him great satisfaction, and it was a proud feather in his cap, that he should be complimented not only by the citizens of this town, but by their fair ladies—their best orna ments.— (Great applause.) However he might have been gratified on that occasion, he could ex pressly declare that he had no such feeling then as he had now, and therefore, he was delighted in having an opportunity of making his bow to the ladies, and ex iffessing to them the satisfaction he felt in seeing them and in meeting so many friendly faces.—(Applause.) The Mayor had been kind enough to advert to the ser vices which he had afforded to the country in various ways, and which was, perhaps more the result of chance than of anything else. From the unfortunate state of his health he was precluded from taking a part in certain lines which were marked out for the members of the Royal Family, and in retirement he had the means of getting more information than those who walked in the more busy scenes of life. Under these circum stances, it was his good fortune to co-operate with many who were friendly supporters of liberal institu tions, and those institutions owed more to the energy of those friends than they did to his indivi dual exertions. There was no institution for the promotion of science, or for the advancement of useful and intellectual acquirements which it was not his anxious wish to promote, satisfied that in en couraging harmony and good will among general society, he was promoting the best interests of the country, and founding a basis between man and man which was the real source of all our energies. —(Applause.) He was well aware that they were met for that purpose, and further than that he would not go ; he had his own opinions on other subjects, and he stood to those opinions ; he was not ashamed of them ; and he had always expressed them with courtesy and good will, giving perfect credit to those who were opposed to him. They did not need to be violent enemies because they differed in opinion, and he was satisfied that if those differences were dis cussed with good humour and friendly feeling, it would tend more to the benefit of society than the violent al tercations so often indulged in in public life.—(Ap plause.) With these observations he would conclude, and—if the Mayor would allow him to propose a toast— he would give " The Health of the Mayor, Alde►men, Burgesses, and prosperity to the city and the trade thereof." Drunk with three times three, and great applause. Air—" Weel may the keel row." The MAYOR said, on behalf of the Corporation, he begged to return thanks for the honour done them by his Royal Highness. He then gave " The health of the Earl of Durham." Drunk with three times three and loud applause. The Earl of DURHAM rose amid renewed applause, and said he confessed that, often as he had risen to ad dress his assembled countrymen in that room, although he might have done so under circumstances of more peculiar excitement, yet he never did so with more un mixed gratification pervading every feeling of his heart, not only because it was an expression which could not but be understood, but because it proceeded from some to whom his Royal Highness bad alluded, and who he could never meet but upon occasions like the pre sent.—(Applause.) He would refer to one topic, and that was the presence of the fair ladies who had ho noured them with their presence that day, and he would hope that, as the highest prerogatives of this country were wielded by a lady, her faithful subjects would mix as far as they could, and that there never would a public meeting occur in which they did not appear.—(Great applause.) The Mayor had alluded to his endeavours to promote science and the arts, and in doing so, he had only done him justice ; he felt early in life the merits of the ancient masters, and a desire to possess some of those splendid specimens which their genius had handed down to us ; yet, at the same time, he felt that he would more benefit his country by procuring a gal lery of the works of modern British artists, than by making a collection of the most splendid specimens of the old master.—(Great applause.) That collection was no-v in the neighbourhood, and any of his friends and neighbours here were welcome to a full view of it.— (Great applause.) It would ill become him to detain them any longer on this subject, after what he had said to them in the other room, but they would allow him to express to them once again the pleasure and gratification which he felt in the presence of his Royal Highness, and the infinite delight which he felt at the manner in which they welcomed him after so long an absence, and when they saw him restored to that health which he hoped he would enjoy for many years to come. —(Applause.) For himself he (the Noble Lord) re turned them his most sincere thanks, and he could as sure them that it was with the deepest pleasure that he had the honour of meeting with them that, day.— (Applause,) The Duke of SUSSEX then rose and said, before he left them, he was anxious to make one more expression of his acknowledgments for the kind manner in which they had received him ; he did not need to tell them that there was no happiness without its counterpoise, and now the moment of separation approached. It, however, through life there was one feeling in the heart of man, and of woman too, which kept them alive, it was the blessed feeling of hope, and with that feeling he would take his leave and say—happy have we met— sorry are we to part, and happy will we be to meet His Royal Highness then retired, accompanied by his Noble and distinguished attendants, and the meet ing broke up, highly delighted with the proceedings of the day. The distinguished party afterwards returned to Lambton Castle. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. HALIFAX, SATuanAy.—Without being able to as sign any intelligible cause, our manufacturers experi enced a much better demand for some kinds of goods than could have been anticipated in the present state of the money market, and in the absence of nearly all orders for the United States. Prices in consequence were maintained. Wool, of most kinds, the turn easier to buy, but nothing bought except for present use. The spinners complain a little of the low price of yarns as compared with that of wool, but it is thought without much reason. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.--There has been an advance, though small, on some kinds of combing wools ; but this is entirely owing to the scarcity of sup ply in the hands of staplers here ; all other descriptions must be quoted as last reported. The amount of busi ness done has been trifling, notwithstanding the advance noted. LEEDS, TUESDAY.---This week has been unprece dently dull ; and as there seems no reasonable prospect of amendment for some time to come, manufacturers are seriously thinking, or rather will be compelled, fur ther to limit the productions of each workman. Whether this stagnation arises from the news brought by the Li verpool, or from apprehensions of measures now in operation by the Bank, or through both combined , it is hard to state ; but never was there less doing in the recollection of any one in the trade. A further limita- tion as to the productions of each workman seems the only remedy for such a state of things—a sad prospect for the poor. BRADFORD, THURSDAY,—Bad as things have been for along time past, they were decidedly worse to-day, arising chiefly out of the late intelligence from the United States. The effect has been not so much a depression in prices, which can hardly be s id to have taken place, but to the exceedingly limited business that has been transacted. Yarns.—There has been much about the sameamount of business doing in yarns as there has been during the last month, and no variation in value can be noted for any . kind, co arse or fine numbers. Wool,— Most descriptions of wool arc again a shade lower, with as little doing as will just enable spinners t o l ieep t h e i r machinery at work ; the trade must, therefore, be pro nounced dull. FUTURE PROPERTY OF INSOLVENTS.—In the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday two rules were obtained to secure a legacy of 501., left to a person who was discharged under the Act some years ago. One rule was on the executors of the will to retain the money, and the other on the insolvent to show cause why his creditors should not have the money. These rules are getting common. WEIGHT OF STEAM.—Steam is 1,800 times lighter than water—that is, a given portion of water will, in the form of steam, occupy 1,800 times the space it did before. 1 41 ,YENING EDITION._ THE MARKETS.

ROWLAND AND SON, HATTON GARDEN, LONDON. „d m " Gentlemen—l have been prevailed upon by a e" o f to try your Macassar Oil, and hav e , indeed, found it amazing benefit in my family. Four of my childres, few years ago, were ill with the scarlet fever, and , tow about three months since, there was not the least ap pearance of hair upon their heads. The medical gent le ' men who attended them gave no hopes of it ever ret urning.; but, after using your Macassar Oil a short time, I foun d , to my great delight, their head s covere d w ith short, s trong hair, which is now daily improving. You are a t liberty to make whatever use you plea se o f thi s letter to your ad' vantage ; as I live in the country, I have taken the prese lit opportunity of conveying it by a friend to you. " I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant , " JANET SMITH. " Ottringham, Yorkshire, June S." ROWLAND'S MACASSAR Ott. produces an d restores th e hair; also whiskers, mustachios, eyebrows, &c. ; presents hair from falling off or turning grey ; changes gre hei to its original colour ; frees it from scurf and dan y drig• and makes it beautifully soft and curly.

THE BANKS OF THE UNITED STATES.":" Reports are current, on the alleged authority of Captain Fayrer, the commander of the steamer, that, as he w as leaving the harbour, an intimation was convey e d to han by telegraph, to the effect that the banks at Ne w York and Boston had also suspended. Whether this state" merit is well or ill founded, we are wholly unable to say but on a careful consideration of the intelligence b r ought by the Liverpool, we are of opinion that the New York banks, at any rate, would be compelled to give way. It appears perfectly clear, that the demand for specie, for the purpose of shipment to England by the Liverpool, which would have greatly incommoded them, was onlY. staved off by a manoeuvre of the mos t desperat e an d hopeless character, namely by drawing bills against a quantity of new bonds creat e d by the State o f New York, which were sent out by th e p ac ket along with the bills drawn against them on p ar ti es in this cou ntr y . Prior to the adoption of this expedient, the rate o f ex change on England had been 111 to 111-i ; but the bills drawn agaist the new loan were offered freely at 1081 to 109, at which rates they found purchasers who remitted them in prefer e n ce t o specie. This seh enie ' however, though it answered the purpose for the roci" meat, cannot, we think, be eventually, successful, upl!aa some previous arrangement has been made with pestles in this country to accept and provide for the iJills.-"" Manchester Guardian. TORY MAGISTRATES, RIDING,--We he ar, from good authority, that a scheme is now on foot by the Tories to "pitchfork" a num b er o f th e i r fraternity —the names of some of whom have been mentioned to us—into the commission of the peace for the Eas t Riding of Yorkshire. We are further informed that the names have been sent to the Lord-Lieutenant. IS I e beg to draw the attention of the Earl of Carlisle to th i s plot ; the number of liberal gentlemen in the coma: 115 " sion is very small at present, and, instead of being swamped, should be increased. If Whig Lord-Lieu tenants create Tory Magistrates, and thereby give that party power, what chance have Ministers to make head in the country ?—Hull Advertiser. DESTITUTION:—On Friday forenoon, an in quisition was taken at the Black Horse, Poplar, before Mr. Baker, on view of the body of a man unknown, about 50 years of age, who died under the following; melancholy circumstances of want and privation :—Ja(). Hamworth, a labourer, in employment at the house, Blackwall, said that on Monday night, deceased was discovered by him about eleven o'clock, lying on a shed belonging to Mr. Welsh. Witness covere d him over with some turnip stalks to keep him warm, fo r which he returned thanks. He was apparen . cly destitute. He said than he hoped he might be suffered to lie there. Witness told him that he would be al lowed. He then bid deceased good night, and left hit"' Witness saw no more of him till Wednesday night, when he was brought to the Folly-house, and witness hen that he was found i n th e s h e d. H e was i nsens ibl e , nn' died in three:quarters of an hour afterwards. Verdict, Tutthat the deceas e d was f oun d i n a d y i ng state, that t died shor,ly after, and that death was eaused by wa s and privation.
