The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all fernier precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea. thin, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed.

The friends of peace will rejoice to learn that the influence of that meddling and unprincipled func tionary, Mr. TYLER, who became President of the I)nited States by accideLt, is entirely annihilated. In order to pave the way for hi 4 election to the chair, and partly, also, from hatred and jealousy of England, he proposed to the Senate a scheme for an nexing Texas to the already enormous territory of the Republic. That body, after mature deliberation, rejected the measure by a majority of 3.5 to 16. Nothing abashed by this marked defeat he draws up a long palaver, in order to try what he can do with the representives of the people. Being aware that all the northern States looked upon the scheme with great distrust and even alarm, on ac count of the additional power which it would give to the southern and slave-holding States, he meets them half• way, and proposes, through one of his agents in the Senate, to take Texas into the union on two con ditions—to divide that vast district into two portions to bz.. called South-Western and North-Western Texas, and to prohibit the existence of slavery for ever in the latter. Doubting the effect of this tricky device, he tries to alarm the commercial portion of the representatives by the following vague btatement:— ItirA r l4 4o o 36 Murred to weaken, but on the contrary, (J.O.A.II)Am my-confidence in the statements of Ge ,neral jACKBOII, and my own statement made in a 1: C.:- massage to Congress, in the belief, amounting almost `, 4 r' -.to a certainty, that instructions have already been 04:elven bythe Texan Government to propose to the - Gevertiment rif—cpreat Britain, forthwith, on the .....kiavro ` - of 0/ 0 ;--tY eatY7 to enter it to a treaty of com mecce and alliance, offensive and defensive." He urges also that as England consolidated the Heptarchy, and annexed Scotland and Ireland, she can have no right to object to the modest proposal which, to use his , own words, would duplicate the exports of the country—thereby making an addition to the carrying trade to an amount almost incalculable, and giving a new impulse of immense importance to the commer cial, manufacturing, agricultural, and shipping inte rests of the union ; thus including all trades, and en deavouring to work upon the fears and jealousies and interests of the whole community. AU, howeve: , was in vain; the house would not "Learken to the voice of the charmer, charmins , 13nVer so can ningly." They would not even entertain the ques tion, and the motion the message do lie upon the 4 4 1 0 Iv".,l:ejected by a majority of 118 to 86. Nay, what is more, a motion simply for printing 1,500 copies of this precious document was negatived by a majority of 29. This seals the fate of Mr. JOHN TYLER, and announces the gratifying fact, that the grat body of the representatives of the people will not back a desperate adventurer, who, for his own selfish purposes, broaches a scheme that might anni hilate, in place of increasing, their commerce, and de stroy the peace of the world. There is but one opinion respecting the conduct of the Home Secretary in ordering the private letters of M. MAzzlEr to be opened at the General Post-office. .‘ All people"—as the Times of this morning justly remarks—" agree in vituperating him. Never was Minister more pitilessly assailed. His unpopularity, sufficiently great before, has received an unenviable increase of odium and notoriety; and the dislike with which he was regarded by some parties in the House of Commons has extended itself to all parties out of the House." We rejoice at this. It is a " great fact," and proves that the tone of pub lic morality is by no means at so low an ebb as might be anticipated, considering that the direct tendency of our Conservative Government, for the last four years, has been to vitiate, if not wholly destroy it, by their expediency system of legislation. But not only has Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S conduct excited the indignation of every honest, high minded Englishman, but it has roused a strong feel ing of abhorrence also in France, as is manifest from a late discussion that took place on the subject, in the Chamber of Deputies. "That England," said M. DE MALLEVILLE, " who, according to her own account, marches with 83 much pride at the head of free nations, should still be obliged to suffer such dis honourable outrages as regards herself, proves that, in point of practical liberty, there is a good deal yet to be learned on the other side the Straits. The Ministers will probably be obliged to me for giving them this opportunity of declaring, in the most public manner, that, with us at least, the privacy of letters is respected by law and in fact ; for it is to the honour of the Go vernment of July to have shut the Cabinet Noir, and I sincerely hope it will never be re-established." In reply to these remarks, the Premier, M. GUIZOT, ob served with emphasis :—" The Hon. Member who has just spoken is quite in the right. In law and in fact, the privacy of letters is completely respected in France, both as regards natives and foreigners." Can our Premier say as much? Certainly not ; the Home Secretary has effectually cut the ground from under his feet, and, only as a pleasant fiction, can he now talk of the privacy of letters being respected in England. Of course the French will be filled with exultation at the idea of the superior morality and honesty of their Govern ment to that of ours; they will be constantly taunt ing us with the flagrant misconduct of Sir JAMES GRAHAM ; and they will point to the defence set up for him by the Cabinet, as a proof that his official colleagues deem his violation of M. Munn's private correspondence an act justified by law, and in perfect accordance with the dictates of common honesty. The French have never yet forgiven us—and they probably never will entirely—for our decisive victory over them at Waterloo ; but if anything can tend to soften the bitterness of_ their feelings on this subject, it will be the flattering conviction that they will henceforth entertain of the loftier moral tone held by their Government to that which prevails in ours. They will tell us that our Home Secretary is no better than a spy, and that his col leagues may be regarded as his accomplices, otherwise they would not defend him zo readily as they have done. And to these stinging taunts what answer can we make ? None at all. The humiliating fact can not be denied, that the PEEL Ministry has dishonoured itself in the eyes of Europe, and that England,is to some extent a sharer in its disgrace, by sanctioning its continuance in office. But, thank GOD, public feeling is 'at length actively roused -on the subject, and is expressing itself in a tone that daily becomes more menacing and significant I The cry now everywhere is " Down with Sir JAMES GRAHAM !" So say we. " Down with Sir JAMES GRAHAM !" and the sooner he is ejected from Downing-street, the better. His con tinuance in the Cabinet is a direct insult to the moral feelings of the people. It is a proof that the exploded espionage system will be revived, at the first feasible opportunity, in all its enormity ; and that neither public nor private rights will be respected when ever they may chance to interfere with the Rome Secretary's latitudinarian notions .of what is expedient Most- earnestly—most emphatically— with a strong conviction of the imperative necessity of the case—we conjure our countrymen of. all parties, and shades of parties, to mark without delay their unmitigated disgust and abhorrence of the con duct of Sir JAMIiS GRAHAM. Already that disgust and that abhorrence have been manifested in no un equivocal form ; but this is not enough, public meetings should be held in all quarters, having for their avowed and direct object the immediate removal of the Home Secretary from office. Some of the Madrid journals of the 22d ult. express great alarm respecting the measures which are about to he adopted by the Ministers, now assembling at Barcelona. One of them state that . two of these mea sures will be the marriage of the QUERN to the son of Don CARLOS, and a decree for reviving the Estatuto Real, both yery probable. The Clamor Publico strongly protests against such a daring violation of the Constitution in these words:— "Perfidy gave birth to these times of calamity, despotism has supported, and anarchy crowns it. The course which the Liberal party are to pursue, if the fatal things they fore see be realised, is evident. They must defend the integrity of the Constitution they have conquered at the cost of their blood ; they must resist the tyrants and usurpers who would strip the nation of its rights and sovereignty. The struggle will be a duty and a necessity to the partisans of liberal in stitutions, for they will have to combat despelic power, a scandalous usurpation, and an intolerable tyranny, a dicta torship resting on force, and which would establish its odious dinnination on the wrecks of the constitutional edifice, and of the freedom of the Spanish people." The Verdad, of Barcelona, states that EL GROC, the last of the Carlist rebels of Macstrasga, has been taken and shot. - All his companions, to the amount of nearly 150, had been previously taken and put to death. The Three ?er Cents. Here done;for cash, at 2613-16 ; 60 days, 27-1-; and the Five per Cents., for cash, 20 ; at 60 days, 20a. We find no fresh intelligence, relative to the Mo rocco war in the Paris papers. Some of them, how ever, have bitter articles on the late occurrences, di rected both against the Kir.g of the FRENCH and the English Government. The Carlist journal, the Quo tidienne, particularly distinguishes itself on the occa sion, and would lead the country to infer that France can never be really independent of England while the ORLEAKS dynasty exists. We give the following as a specimen :—" England, by the organ of Sir R. PEEL, has been graciously pleased to permit our projects on Morocco ; our rulers have communicated to her their views ; the demands of the EMPEROR, and how they intend replying to them. They have communicated to the British Ministry the instructions given to the Prince de JOINVILLR, and these instructions are fully satisfactory. Thus, we now learn, through the de bates in the English Parliament, why we have col lected a fleet and confided an expedition to the I Prince de JOINVILLE! England saw in it no incon venience ; the innocuous character of the instruc tions of our admiral has procured him at once a satis !fecit and an exeat. Poor France! But seriously, if on any point of the globe a government adjoining 1 any of the British possessions should think fit to in vade them with an armed force, and attack the Eng lish troops, and if this attack bore a grave character, and came from a government so powerful, that the Cabinet of London should deem it proper to confide the command of an expedition to a Prince of the Royal,fatnily, is it to be surgiosed thilt tlii3 cabinet, before the departure of the expedition, would think itself obliged to submit to the approbation of the French Government its views, and the instruction* given to its general ? Certainly the itlea Attila llnvet occur to it, or if by impoBslbillty we suppose . that it might, is it to be believed that the publicity iveh to that act of weakness Wohld ii Stlcient to excite the indignation of a p, bud and independent nation? Well then, France owes to England only what End land would h world oWe in a similar case : any oche: of conduct is unworthy of us, for it cannot be atributed to an act of good intelligence— but to a feeling of weakness—to a sentiment of in.. feriori ty." The' Journal des Debots takes a very different view of the question, and announces that great prepara tions are in progress to punish the perfidious Moors, and avenge the honour of France. "Reinforcements," it adds, " continue to be sent from Algiers to Oran. A battalion of the 44th arrived at Oran on the 19th; another battalion of the same regiment was about to be sent to Tenez to reinforce the camp at Orleans ville. The banks and islet of Ghazouna, at the mouth of the River Nedroma, on the extreme frontier of Morocco, will, it is said, be occupied by our troops. The odious perfidy of the Morocco troops, and the battle of the 15th, render the difficulty of arrange ment almost inextricable. We are still persuaded that all this is done in opposition to the will of the EMPEROR ; but when his own guard takes the lead in aggression, instead of controlling the undisciplined tribes, of what service can be the protestations and engagements of a SOVEREIGN who is no longer mas ter; of his own people, and whose troops follow the inlulsion of the ambitious ABD..Er.-KADER." Pri vate lettiars also state that General BUGEAUD had in timated his intention to the Government of invading Morocco as soon as he had assembled a sufficient body of troops, and that possibly his next dispatches would be dated from Fez. On Friday the discussion on the Northern Railroad Bill was brought to a close, when the Chamber adopted the Government plan by a majority of 227 to 42. The branch line from Amiens to Boulogne was also adopted. It is to run through Abbeville and Etaples, and will be leased to a company for ninety nine years. On the same day, M. DE MALLEVILLE alluded to the discussion which had lately taken place in the House of Commons, on Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S motion relative to opening letters at the Post-office, and complained that the statement of Mr. Dux- COMIIE, implying that the secrecy of letters was not respected in France, had been published in the Moniteur, without any protest, denial, or remark, for it was a well-known fact that no such practice now existed at the French Post-office. M. GUIZOT, from his place, said " The Hon. Deputy was perfectly cor rect in stating that both in right and in fact the secrecy of letters was completely respected in France, but we have not judged it proper, nor shall we ever think it necessary, to make a complaint against er roneous statements made on this subject either in France or other countries." We have adverted to this subject in a separate article. The accounts from Morocco caused a sudden de pression of the French Funds. On Friday the Three per Cents. fell to 81f. 83c., and on Saturday they closed at 821., and the Fives at 122 f. 20c. • THE BOURSE-SATuRDAy, JUNE 29. First Highest Lowest Last • Price. Price. Price.

THE SUN, LONDON ,IyIONDAY .K.VENING, JULY 1, 1844. Mr. Coc - xnunst—And did not shrink from it. The proper qualification of the horse—its actual identity should be fully proved, not by one witness or by several witnesses— but by a whole hest. In the month of June 1842, Mr, Cobb serst the mere Mali to The Saddler where she re illainecifor eight daYs. Slid. was, taken thence to Newmar ket; and there remained till the 11th itl Map; when she foaled Running Rein. Ikrefe tioieh to a paddock at Sutton for time, and then both were taken back to Newmarket. The colt was constantly attended by Kitchen. In November he was seen by a person of the name of Stabbing, who was employed by Mr. Goodman to buy ftp Some bolts for him. Mr. Stebbing sotin FiTterikniftlS, late in NoYember, commissioned a Mien named king to go and try the foal. This was done, and he was taken to Mr. King's at Malton. He there remained from 7th September till 17th January, attended to by the same man. On that day Stebbing sent a man to bring him to York, in order to send him -by railway to Mr. Goodman s stables, near London. He did so, and delivered him to a servant of Mr. Goodman's. This was the first stage in the matter, and numerous witnesses would fully sustain the identity to this point. The descrip tion of him was this :—a bay colt with a few white hairs only, and had this peculiarity, cracked heels, which the horse had now, and had when foaled. He was also wider between the ears than thorough-bred horses generally are. He was re ceived at Euston-square by Mr. Goodman and servants, and thence went for two nights to stables in Foley-place, and thence he was taken to the stables of Mr. Pearl, who would give most satisfactory testimony to them. He remained there ten days, and was thence taken to a Mr. Bean, at Finchley, to be turned out. Whilst at Bean's, he was seen by Mr. Pearl, who would corroborate the testimony, that it was the same as that which had been at his stables. Many persons saw him, all of whom would corroborate the evidence as to the identity of the horse that won, and the colt that was foaled by Arab. Whilst at Finchley, Running Rein slightly injured himself on the near fore leg, which, however, left a scar, but a very slight one indeed—enough still to assist in its identity. On the 24th September, 1842, the colt was taken from Bean's and taken to Haines's livery stables, where it remained till the 27th, and the ostler attending it would be brought before them. On that day, William Drewett, of Letherhead, fetched it away. It was then just becoming a two-year old. A trainer of the name of Smith, of Epsom, was selected by Mr. Goodman to train the horse, and Drewett was the man that took him to that person's stables. There was the clearest evidence of the transfer of the horse on the 27th of September. He was then unbacked, unbroken. On his arrival at Smith's, he was put under the care of a man of the name of Hitchcock; of course Smith himself having his eye constantly upon him. He was seen by many persons —amongst others by the Baron de Tessier. He continued at Smith's, until February, 1843. Whilst there he was seen both by Pearl and Bean, both of whom would distinctly identify the colt. In February some disagreement took place between Goodman and Smith, and the colt. was taken away by Goodman to Sutton, where he remained in training until the autumn of the year, when certain engagements tier which he was entered, caused him to be taken to Newmarket. He (Mr. Cockburn) came now to a most important epoch—that of October, 1843. The colt was there entered for the Clear well Stakes, and for a race at the lloughton Meet ing. Before he ran for either he was entered for a two-year-old fifty pound plate, which be won, beating eleven or twelve others. After he won, the Duke of Rutland, on the instigation of Lord George Bentinck, objected to his having the stakes, on the ground that he was a three year, and not a two year old. An inquiry took place before the three stewards, Lord Stradbroke, Mr. Greville, and Hon. George Byng. Between the race and the inquiry a fortnight took place, and Lord George Bentinck, as usual, not losing a chance where anything was to be gained, sent down into Yorkshire for evidence. The matter was thoroughly gone into by the stewards of the races, and they unanimously decided in favour of Running Rein, and against the objection raised by the Duke of Rutland at the instigation of Lord George Bentinck, who, he begged to tell the jury, was the real defendant in this matter, that high-minded and upright man, Col. Peel, having nothing whatever to do with it. Pending this decision he had run in the Clearwell Stakes, and be was beaten by Zenobia, a colt of Colonel Peel's. In consequence of this, he did not run at the Houghton Meet ing, and Colonel Peel's Zenobia, walked over the course. After this, the colt was brou g ht back to Epsom, and Mr. Goodman had fallen into very considerable embarrassments, owing, amongst other persons, a large sum to Mr. Wood. Goodman could not pay, and wanted more money, and there fore proposed to Wood to take the horse for the debt, giving him (Goodman) two hundred pounds more in cash. (At this part of the proceedings two notes were sent by individuals on the bench to counsel, and the Judge indig nantly said—" I am already in a very delicate position, and I trust no one will again attempt to make that position more delicate still.") Mr. COCKBURN said he quite agreed with his Lordship in the necessity and propriety of his observations. He then proceeded to say what then was Mr. Wood's position, having fairly bought the horse, which had undergone a fair and full examination as to his identity, and being burthened with his engagements as all horses were bought. Surely the transac tion was straightforward enough ; and yet, because some suspicion attached to certain transactions of Goodman with regard to other horses —and because certain noblemen and gentlemen (as they called themselves) had bet to an enor mous amount against the horse, Mr. Wood was now at tempted to be robbed of his gains. He spoke not of Colonel Peel—not he ; no, there was an honest man ; but let other gentlemen, and one or two certain noblemen, get into the wit ness-box—let them dare to do it, and he would turn them in side out.—(Laughter.) Why, many of these people—mem bers, aye, and high members, too, of the Jockey Club—he could prove, laid heavily, enormously against Running Rein at the very time they were preparing a case to dispute his qualification. To proceed, however. A day or two before he ran, Lord George Bentinck, Mr. Bowes, and Mr. John Scott, signed a protest against Running Rein. The stewards adopted the usual rule of the Jockey Club, and ap pointed a time for receiving evidence as to the identity of the horse; and they determined that he was, prima facie, quali fied to run. He did run, and he won the race. It was ob jected that the stakes should not be given up, and a further inquiry was to be instituted. Mr.'Wood again prepared for it ; but Colonel Peel refused to go into it, but offered to abide by the arbitration of a barrister. This Mr. Wood declined, in his (Mr. Cockburn's) opinion, most properly. After indulging in some surmises as to the case which was to be brought for the defence, and making a bitter and most acrimonious attack upon Lord George llcntinck, who sat close behind him, the Learned Counsel concluded by saying, that even if it could be proved that Mr. Goodman had been guilty of im proprieties, he defied proof of impropriety as regarded this horse, Running Rein, and that his own client in this case (Mr. Wood) was as high-minded and as honest a man as ever lived, and one who would be the very first to scout anything like improper or unworthy conduct,. whether in connexion with the turf, or with any other business or transaction in life. The following witnesses were then called and examined : Thomas Lofthouse examined by Mr. JAMES—I live at Norton, just across the bridge from Malton, in Yorkshire. I know Mr. Copp, who had a mare called Arab. I took her to Mr. Osbaldestone's to be covered by The Saddler. This was on the sth June, 1840. I saw her covered by The Sad dler. In May, 1841, she dropped her foal. I saw her with the foal in a loose box at Mr. Cobb's. The foal was a bay colour, with black legs and feet clear of white; a few white hairs on the forehead, but no star. I saw the foal regularly, two or three times a day. I know Mr. King's, at Norton, near Malton, and there I afterwards'saw tho colt. I saw it remaining there till the back part of the year. It left there either in November or December. Cross-examined by the Somerrint-GENERAL—I men tioned a star because I thought you might think there was a star.—(Loud laughter.) Never heard anybody say any thing about a star. I can't say why I added the words " but no star." I thought you might think it was a star. — (Loud laughter.) I have no other reason for saying" but no star." The colt was a smart little foal, not a very big one. I believe The Saddler has got a star upon his forehead, but I really don't know positively. I never observed anything about the colt's feet but that he was clear of white. His legs were black two or three days after birth. I did not notice whether the foal turned out the off fore-foot, but I did re mark his four black legs. John Kitching examined by Mr. Comisonx—ln the year 1840 I went to live with Mr. Cobb, at Alalton. I remember his mare Mab. I remember her having a foal. I was pre sent. The foal was born in the stable, and there remained for about a week, and then with the dam went to Sutton house paddock till .the autumn. I constantly looked after them in the paddock, and also when the foal was brought back to the hay-house. The foal was a bay one, black legs all the way up, a - very few white hairs on the forehead; ears did not ail much —nothing much the matter with them, I mean.—(Laughter.) In November Mr. Stebbing came to look at the foal, and he bought it. Robert Spawnton, in the employment of Mr. King, fetched it. I went with him. We took the foal to Mr. King's, and I left it there. In October, 1843, I was applied to by Mr. Allen to go to Newmarket. He gave me money, and told me to go to Lord George Ben tinck's lodgings. I went there direct on arriving at New market. His Lordship was not at home, and his valet directed me to remain till his return. I did so. I stayed till nine o'clock, and had some bread and cheese. I was then taken to Mr. Kent's, Lord George's trainer. There I slept. In the morning I did not go out till his Lordship came, when he and another gentleman took me to the Jockey Club. I made a statement there, and I was then taken by Lord Stradbroke to the stables, where I saw a colt. I knew the colt. It was the one bred by The Saddler out of the mare. I afterwards saw the colt again at Epsom, at the last Derby race. I was before the Stewards before the race was run. That was the same colt I had seen at Newmarket, and the same colt that was foaled from Mr. Cobb's mare. _ . Cross- examined by the Soucrrort-GENERAL.—I had had the care of horses with a farmer before I went to Mr. Cobb's. I have been in no employment since the Derby. I have been living at Mr. Glen's, the biscuit maker, in Regent. street. Mr. Gill sent me there. I have not given up my situation at York. I drive a lady out in a carriage when I am down there. Mr. Gill has not promised to get me a place. He never promised me anything. I am not to have anything for my trouble if we win the trial--not that I know of. I have never been promised 1001., and have no 'expectation of get ting any such sum.—(A letter was here handed to the wit ness, and the Solicitor-General desired him to read it care fully before he answered any more questions.)—That is my handwriting. Mr. Gill did not promise to get me a place in London, or that he would try and get me one. I don't know that I am to be well paid formy . t ro uble if we win the trial. I merely wrote that letter to pacify my father. The letter is all false—there is no truth in it. The Juncm—Then you pacify your father by writing lies. That's the Yorkshire way o f pacifying parents.—(Loud laughter.) Young man, y ou oug ht never to write lies nor to speak them. Witness—Well, Sir, I did not mean any ill. I don't re member Lord Stradbroke aski ng Goodman at Newmar k et to let Barrow, the person with h is L o rdship, look at the horse's mouth. I can't say I was m ore th a n ten minutes after seeing the colt that I made up mind it was the co lt foaled b y Mab. I said it was the sam e . I sw ear I said it was the same to the best of my knowled ge . When a foal, it was a poor shabby-looking thing. Th e d am w as rather a bad nurse. I was with the person (Stebbing) who led the foal to King's. Stebbing is here—so also i s Mr. Cobb. I don't know Mr. Watson, of Northampton. I neve r saw such a person. Glen, the baker, has a house at a Q uee n-elms, Brompton, and it was there that I was. There was no other stranger there whilst I was. . _ Be-examined—lremained in town with the consent of my master at York. My father was sent to London to get me away. Mr. Walker, the lawyer at Melton, sent him to get me away. My father took me to Hicks and Morris, Mr. Walker's town agents. M y f at h er also saw Mr. Gill, and he wanted to get from him . . a promise to get me a p lace, and Mr. Gill refused. Henry Stebbing examined by Mr. JAMES—I am a train ing groom at Hambledon in Yorkshire. In 1841 I knew of Mr. Cobb's Nab having a foal • I first saw it in Mr. Cobb's pad dock ; John King bought t h e 'f oa l upon my orders. He was brought to Norton, wher e I sent a person named Watson for him. I sent 281. by Willi am Wi se , my man, to pay for him. Mr. Watson took the colt to York, where I saw him. The colour was bay, the four legs black, and he bad a few white hairs on his forehead. This was in January, 1842. My brother James was at York when the colt came there ; he was going to .Newmarket, on his way to London. I saw the colt put in the railway-box. I was at Newmarket in 1843, when an ob jection was made to a horse. I cannot say whether it was the same that I had seen at York, as I had not seen that one since he was a foal, but the celour was the same. I expected that the colt would grow into such a horse as Running Rein. I saw the horse which goe s b y that name both on the course and is the stable. I had bought him for Mr. Goodman. GRAY V. THE QUEEN. This case came before their Lordships upon a writ of error from a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, by which the petitioner, Samuel Gray, was sentenced to transportation for life for firing at and killing a person named Owen Murphy. The principal, and indeed the only question in the case, was whether a party indicted for an offence not punishable with death, has the right of peremptorily challenging any of the jury :—Samuel Gray, the petitioner in error, was indicted at the Lent Assizes is 1842, for the county of Monaghan, for having committed a felony in firing at and billing Owen Murphy. The charge was founded, and the indictment framed, upon the stature Ist Victoria, cap. 85, section 3. Gray . having pleaded not guilty, the trial pro ceeded at the Assizes until, in consequence of the illness of one of the jurors, they were obliged to be discharged without giving a verdict. At the Summer Assizes, in the same year, the trial was again brought on ; but the jury not agreeing in their verdict, were discharged. A similar occurrence took place at the Lent Assizes in 1843. The proceedings were then removed by the Crown to the Court of Queen's Bench, and in Easter Term, 1843, Gray was required to plead to the indictment in that Court. Upon this Gray pleaded that he bad been tried for feloniously shooting at Owen Murphy and acquitted. To this plea the Attorney-General [demurred, and Gray having joined in the demurrer, it was argued, and the demurrer was allowed, and Gray was ordered to answer over to the felony charged in the indictment. Gray pleaded again " Not guilty" and the case was ordered to be tried at the Summer Assizes for Monaghan. On the case being called on, and during the empanelling of the jury, Gray peremptorily challenged two of them, but that challenge was disallowed, on the ground that it had been the practice in Ireland not to allow a peremptory challenge in any case of felony not punishable with death. The trial then proceeded, and the petitioner Gray was found guilty and sentenced to transportation 'for life. Mr. Justice Perrin declared his opinion, and gave his judgment that the chal lenge might to have been allowed, and that the judgment on the verdict ought to have been arrested, and a venire de novo awarded; but the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Burton, end Mr. Justice Crampton were of a different opinion. Under these circumstances Gray brought the writ of error that now came on for argument. Mr. NAPIER and Mr. DAWSON appeared for the petitioner in error, and contended that the sentence ought to be set aside, on the ground of the challenge of the jury by the pe titioner being refused, and because the incidents of the de fence and trial of all felonies were the same, and the right of peremptory challenge appertained to the trial of felonv, as a specific class of crime, and had, therefore, been uniformly allowed in'England on the trial of felonies not punishable with death, as well as capital felonies. The .Attorney-General for Ireland and Mr. Waddington appeared on behalf of the Crown. The arguments were proceeding when we went to press. RUNNING REIN CASE. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Baron ALDER SON and a Special Jury.) wool) v. PEEL. This trial, upon which the hopes and fears of the sporting world have been so earnestly fixed since the recent race for the Derby, and the dispute as to the legitimate claimant of the stakes, having been appointed for to-day, the Court, im mediately on its opening, was greatly crowded. Several sporting men of celebrity were in attendance, and intense anxiety seemed to pervade the great majority of persons present. The crowd, however, would have been consider ably greater, but for the circumstance that the Court of Ex chequer sitting also at Guildhall, a great number of persons bent their unhappy steps thitherward. The Earl of Stradbroke, the Hon. Mr. Byng, Sir Gilbert Heatheote, the Baron de Tessier, the Hon. Charles Greville, and other parties in high life, sat upon the bench. Lord G. Bentinck sat close to the Counsel for the defendant. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. James, and Mr. Lush, appeared for the plaintiff ; and the Solicitor-General, Mr. Wortley, Q.C., and Mr. Martin for the defendant. At a few minutes before ten o'clock Mr. Baron Alderson took his seat upon the bench, when the following gentlemen were sworn of the Special Jury :—Joseph Bowman, foreman ; Isaac Haywood, Charles W. Moore, Frederick Bryant, Chas. J. Cotteril, Robert Bentley, Richard Williams, William Cotes, Thomas A. H. Dickson, John I'. Miller, Edward An• trobus, and Henry Watson. Witnesses on both sides were ordered out of Court. On application to the Bench, however, Lord George Bentinck was permitted to stay, as were also the Baron de Tessier and Sir Gilbert Heathcote. _ . Mr. Lusts having stated the pleadings, Mr. COCKBURN said the question was, whether a horse called Running Rein, which won the Derby at the last Epsom Races, was a colt foaled in 1841, whose sire was The Saddler, and whose dam was Mab. When they recollected what the Derby was—the amount of the stakes and the number of people, grave senators, lawyers, and others, who took an in terest in it—it would easily account for the importance that was attached to the present issue. The plaintiff had to con tend with individuals of great weight and station, who had very large bets depending on the result of the action, and who therefore were indefatigable and not over-scrupulous in their efforts to defeat him. The question, however, was a very simple one. It was not one of opinion, nor of science, but of fact. Indeed, it was a plain question of identity. The horse in question won the race—won it easily —won it gallantly. This done, Colonel Peel, the owner of the second horse, objected to the stakes being paid over to the owner of Running Rein, and claimed them for himself as the owner of Orlando. According to the ordinary rules of the Jockey Club, Colonel Peel having objected to the age of the horse was bound to prove the disqualification to the satisfaction of that club. But Colonel Peel did not do this, but took refuge under the power of the law, thus throwing on the plaintiff the onus of proving the birth of the horse. Baron ALDEnsoN—The plaintiff himself undertook that — he chose his own position. Cross-examined by the accustomed to horses since I was thirteen years of age ; now seven-and-twenty. Mr. Goodman told me, at New market, to buy the colt. He told me to buy him a foal or two, if they were cheap. He gave me no description of the toal he wanted either verbally or in writing. He sent me a letter when he paid me, but did not aek for any description of the foal which I had bought; I am quite certain that I had no instructions either verbally or in writing as to the sort of foal that Mr. Goodman wanted. The white hairs in the forehead were together. At the time I bought the colt, he was a shabby-looking animal; but he had large limbs. The pasterns were not long; the off-fore foot did not turn out more than that of most horses. I should say it did not turn out at all. _ _ Re-examined by Mr. JAMES—It did not turn out so as to attract my notice. At the time I bought the foal, Mr. Good man was running several horses; I had two of his horses at that time. _ _ Wm. Wiles examined by Mr. JA3tEs—ln 1841 I was the servant of Mr. Henry Stebbing . I went to Mr. Cobb's re specting a foal; it was a bay foal, without any white except a few white hairs on the forehead. The legs were all black. I paid for it, and directed it to be sent to Mr. King's. The last time I saw it was at Mr. King's. His Loßpstitt , here inquired if the horse could be seen by himself and the Jury? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said they had applied fur per mission to see it and had been refused. Mr.CocKnuns said he would inform his Lordship presently under what circumstances. His LORDSHIP said h• should like to see the horse, and he thought the jury would also. He was quite sure the verdict would be set aside if the horse were not seen. Mr. COCKBURN said if his . Lordship's order had been pro perly used there would have been no obstacle. His LORDSIIIP said Whatever use might have been made of the order, he was sure it would be worse for the parties if it were not seen now. _ _ _ .. - Mr. COCKBURN had not the slightest objection to his Lord ship and the jury seeing the horse. Robert Spanton examined by Mr. COCKBURN—In the year 1841 1 was in the service of Mr. King, the training-groom, at Melton. In the month of December, 1841, I fetched away a foal, and brought it to Mr. King's; it remained in the stable about six weeks, and was afterwards turned out on Mr. King's paddock. I attended to it during the whole time; it was a bay colt with blacklegs; there was no white about the legs, but there was a little about the forehead; it did not amount to what -we call a star. The heels were cracked very much. The ears were rather wide. Cross-examined by the Soycrron-GEDIERAL—The hind heels were cracked., It is a very common thing for a horse to have cracked heels. John Andrewi, e4aniined by Mr. • Jamas--My brother is.a training-groom, at Hiinbledon. I reside with him. In January, 1842, I was at York. I came from Thirsk with him to meet the foal. I came up to LondOn by a train, which conveyed a foal. I brought him to Eusten-square station. It was dark when I arrived in London. The foal was met either by a man or a lad. I saw him next morning, at Mr. Goodman's stables in Foley-place. He was of a bay colour. Some would have entered him bas or brown, his legs were black. lam not aware that he had any, white about him. • After seeing him at Mr. Goodman's stables I never saw him again except at Newmarket. I cannot swear that the horse I saw" at Newmarket was Mr. Good man's colt, but it was just such a horse as the colt seemed likely to become. John Andrews re-examined by Mr. JAMES—In December 1841 I was in the service of Mr. Fowlis, attending his hunters at Cobb's. Daniel White, examined by Mr. JAMESS—I am - in the ser vice of Mrs. Allen in Albemarle-street. In 1842, I was at Mr. Joseph's livery-stables, in Foley-place. I went to the Euston- square station for a foal in January, 1842, which I got on arriving there, Mid took to Mr. Goodman's stables. I remained there two nights.' I took him every afternoon to Mr. Pearl's in Milton-street, Dorset-square, and left him there. I saw him after Wards in the September of that year, at Mr. Bean's at Finchley. I went to fetch him for Mr. Goodman. I took him to Mr. Goodman's house first, and from there to Mr. Haynes's livery stables in Langham place, where, according to Mr. Goodman's order, I left him. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL —I lived with Mr. Josephs, whose stables were used by Mr. Goodman at different times. I cannot say how long the colt remained at Pearl's. George White attended to the colt in Mr. Good man's stables. I met hirn about two months since near Foley-place, and he said he was going to a situation at Paris. Re-examined by Mr. JAmEs—When I fetched the colt, I took him to Mr. Goodman's stables. James Wilson Pearl; examined by Mr. CocKntmN—l am a liyery-stable keeper, carrying on business in Milton-street, Dorset-square. I remember, in January, 1843, a man bring ing a bay colt of Mr. Goodman's to my stables. I saw him two or three times every day. I saw him at Mr. Bean's six weeks . after he left my stables, in a pad dock. I knew him to be the same colt. I never saw him afterwards, till I saw - him at Epsom. To the best of my belief he was the same horse, but I could not swear that he was. Cross-examined by the Soucrrou-GENERAL—Mr. Bean's paddock adjoins the road. Wm. Bean examined by Mr. JAMES—I lived at Finchley in January, 1842 ; 'was applied to by Mr. Goodman to allow a colt of his to run in my paddock ; ft was in January, 1842 ; I drove one of my men up to Mr. Pearl's to fetch him ; he brought him to my paddock, where he re mained till the ' 24th of September. [The witness here handed to counsel an order for the delivery of the horse.] Whilst in the paddock, he hurt himself in trying to get into an adjoining field ; he knocked some hairs off between the knee and the arm ; the skin was also broken. After the colt was taken away in September, 1842, I saw him at New market; it was in 1843. I believed it to be the same colt; it was my firm belief that it was so. I saw a colt at Epsom, which I believe to be the same that ran at Newmarket. I did not myself deliver the colt to the man that brought the order for its delivery; I nrdered one of my men to do so; I had no other colt on my premises at-that time. Cross-examined by the Soucrron- GENERAL—I deal in horses, and have done so forthirty years. lamby no means prosperous in business: - I have been bankrupt twice and insol vent twice. On my first bankruptcy 1 did not pay any dividend. I don't know whether any dividend was paid in the second bankruptcy. I gave a satisfactory account on my insolvency. Mr. Hammond was one of my assignees. I know him well. I don't remember applying to him once to lend me 75/. upon an order of a person of the name of Allen. I don't remember Mr. Hammond discovering that the money had been paid to me. I have not the least recol lection of the•transaction. _ _ The JUDGE—You don't recollect whether you cheated a man of 75/. or not ?—(Laughter.) Witness—l have no re collection of anything of the kind. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I do not recollect Mr. Allen's dealing with me at all. I remember a person of the name of Kingscote. I do not recollect representing to Mr. Hammond, that Mr. Kingscote had left town without paying me for a horse I had sold him, and that he would return in a day or two. I swear that I never borrowed money of Mr. Hammond on such a representation. I have no recollection of anything of the kind having occurred. The JUDGE—I suppose I might venture to ask you whether you ever committed murder, perhaps you have no recollec tion of it?—(Laughter.) Witness—No, my Lord. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I was in the habit of taking in horses at Finchley. Sanders was in my service ; so also was Fanny Page, Mrs. Humphreys, a person called Will York (I don't know his real name) and several persons whose names I cannot recollect. The man whom I went with to fetch the colt, was Henry Sanders. Fanny slept in a room near the box where the horse was put, but she is not here. I met the person who came for the colt at the gate; there were two men there together. Mr. Masson is a next door neighbour of mine at Finchley. Fanny came into my service two ,or three times. I do not recollect her leaving me • and marrying. I cannot say whether Fanny was at Finchley down to the month of February 1843. Re-examined by Mr. CoeßnuEN—The box which the horse was in was detached from the house. Fanny's window would look over it. The case was still proceeding when we went to press, and it is expected to last at least another day, and probably two. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The sessions at the Old Bailey were opened this morning by Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Alderman Sir C. Marshall, the Sheriffs, and other civic authorities. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The COMMON SERGEANT briefly addressed them as to the nature of their duties. He said, the cases in the calendar were of an ordinary description, and involved no point of dfficulty. There was one case which, perhaps, would re quire more than ordinary attention, and that was the case of a man, who was charged with pushing a constable into a canal, with intent to drown him. By the Ist Victoria, the act of pushing a person into the water was made a felony. There was no other point in the calendar 'which required comment from him ; and he would, therefore, remit them to their duties. The Court then proceeded to swear the common jury. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Thomas Riley, a middle aged man of decent appearance, was charged (as entered on the police sheet) " with attempt ing and endangering the life of his wife, by throwing her out of the second-floor window of the house, No. 4, Dolphin court, Oxford-street." ThomasW ills, police-sergeant No 1, of the C division, stated that, yesterday morning as he was on duty in Oxford-street, he heard an outcry and springing of a rattle, in Dolphin.. court, and on proceeding there he found that the prisoner's wife had been carried into the passage of the house, N 0.4, and she was there lying on the floor, and seemed to be very severely injured. Witness was informed by some of the in mates of the house that the female had been thrown„,out of the second-floor front-room window (the apartment they occupied) by the prisoner, and had fallen on to the flag pave ment of the court. She came down feet foremost. Witness asked her if she persisted in her statement that the prisoner had thrown her out of the window. She said she did, and he accordingly took him into custody. The prisoner appeared to have been drinking slightly but the wife was actually in toxicated ; she was taken to Middlesex Hospital, but refused to allow herself to be examined by the house •surgeon, or to remain there. She was in consequence removed back to • her lodging, but this morning she was so much worse that she was obliged to be again conveyed to the hospital. Since then she persists in stating that she jumped out of the window herself, and that the prisoner had nothing to do with it. A certificate was produced of the wife being in Middlesex Hoipital, suffering from the injuries she had sustained, but which, under the cir cumstances, are surprisingly slight. The mother of the deceased said she was quite sure the prisoner did not throw her daughter out of the window. He was, therefore, for the present allowed to go at large.

Much interest continues to be taken in the state of the grain trade. Fine showers having been experienced in al most all the principal parts of the country, speculation in foreign wheat has been somewhat checked. Still, however, there is no doubt entertained that the arrivals of foreign grain before the autumn will be very considerable from the Continent, as well as from Canada and the United States. It appears from the accounts received this Morning from Mauritius that the trade there had been in some degree in jured by the apprehension that the bay and corn crops have been damaged by the long continued drought that has pre vaited in many sections of the United Kingdom. Still, for the autumn trade in British manufactures, considerable ex pectations are entertained that there will be a most abundant demand for cotton and woollen fabrics for exportation. Yarns have been in fair request of late. There have not been any accounts from the Colonies this morning, with the exception of ship- letters, which are of old dates. Although there has not been any business of importance transacted in the funds this morning, a strong tendency to decline is exhibited in the prices. Consols for the Account have fallen from 98 1 to 985, but they have since rallied to 985. A large delivery of stock is expected to-morrow. Re duced Three per Cents. have been sold at 995 ; Exchequer Bills at 735. to 755. premium, and India Bonds 945. premium. Bank Stock for the Account has been sold at 1985 ; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1025. The payment of the dividends upon the Spanish Three per Cents. were commenced this morning, but the market for this stock is notwithstanding heavy, at 321 5. The Five per Cents. have fallen from 221 to 221. The half-yearly interest upon Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., and upon Portuguese Converted: Bonds, are also in course of liquidation to-day. Money is easy in the Foreign Market. The Dutch Twe-and-a- Half per Cents. have been quoted at 601 ex div. • Old Five per Cents. Portuguese at 804 ; the C o l om bi an ex Venezuelan, at 131 1; and Mexican at 351 for the Account. The result of the interview to be had with Sir Robert Peel and the Directors of the principal Railway Com panies, this afternoon, upon the subject of a Bill now before Parliament, for the future guidance of establishments of the description referred to in the measure in question, is looked for with interest. Any attempt to fetter the managers of the existing lines is held by them in consistent with the property they hold, but it is quite another and a most important question, as far as the public are con cerned, that all attempts at monopoly should be checked, and so it is hoped that the Parliament will, by stringent laws, de cide. A good deal of business has. been transacted in the Share Market this morning, but at prices not differing much from those of Saturday last. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

JUSTICE TO IRELAND GREAT MEETING IN COVENT GARDEN.—(THIS DAY.) A great meeting of the inhabitants of the City of West... minster, was held this afternoon in Covent-garden, for the purpose of taking Into consideration the proceedings of the Government for the subjugation of Ireland, and the persecution of O'Connell and others for their support of the rights of Irishmen, and to petition Parliament for the immediate release of Mr. O'Connell and his brother martyrs, now confined in the Richmond Penitentiary, Dublin. The meeting had been convened by the High Bailiff, Francis Smedley, Esq., in conformity with a requisition, most numer ously and respectably signed, which had been presented to him for that purpose. The hustings were erected rather to the left of the Church, instead of being erected in front of it, as heretofore. This arrangement was most judicious, as it afforded standing-room for at least three thousand people additional in front of the hustings. The hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings was two o'clock, but the • people began to assemble as' early as twelve o'clock, and by the time the proceedings commenced there could net have been less than ten thousand persons assembled. Never have we known a meeting in Covent-garden more numerously and more respectably attended, and the be haviour of those present - Was beyond all praise. A :Nero orderly, well-conducted assembly, never congregated to gether. At two o'clock precisely the High Bailiff took the chair. On the hustings we observed T. Duncombe, 31.P.,:C010nel Rawdon, M.P., Sir R. Bulkeley, M.P., Summers Harford, Esq., E. D. Davenport, Esq., late High Sheriff of Cheshire, James Coppock, Esq., Feargus O'Connor, Esq., and several other entlemen, supporters of the Liberal cause. The HIGH BAILIFF, who was received with much cheering, then came forward and said, that having received a requisi tion from the householders, rate- payers, and electors of the City of Westminster, most numerously and respectably signed, requesting him to convene the present meeting, he had fixed upon that day for the purpose.—(Cheers.) The object of the meeting was to petition Parliament to present an address to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to exercise the prerogative of her Crown, and to direct the immediate release of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P.—(lmmense cheering)—and the other State prisoners confined in the Richmond Penitentiary, Dublin.—(Lonst cheers.) He had no doubt but that they would give every' gentleman who was desirous of addressing them an attentive hearing, and that their proceedings would be conducted with the good humour which they had invariably displayed when ever he had had the honour of presiding over them.—(Cheers.) Mr. T. DusrcosinE, M.P., who was received with the most enthusiastic cheers, which lasted several minutes, then came forward for the purpose of proposing the first resolution, but before he did so, he would take that public opportunity of ex pressing, on the part of those who had signed the requisition to the High Bailiff, their gratitude to that gentleman for till prompt and courteous manner in which he had acceded to the :wishes of the requisitionists, by convening the present meeting—(Cheers)—and thus affording to them the opportu nity ofexercising one of the proudest and dearest rights of Eng lishmen, that of meeting together in public meeting assembled , for the purpose of discussing the grievances of which they had to complain, and of calling upon their representatives in Parliament to redress those grievances, as far as it was iri their power so to do.—(Cheers.) He would also, before he proposed the resolution, congratulate the friends of Ireland on such a large, numerous, and respectable gathering as thst which he had then the honour of addressing.—(Cheers.) It I was a proof that the city of Westminster was beginning at last to arouse itself from that apathy, that indif ference to public questions which he was Boni to say had hung over the constituency for so many years. (Cheers.) This meeting would prove to the world that the citizens of Wesiininster were still the Mends of the oppressed and the enemies of persecution.—(Loud cheers,) IVest, minster had never before met in her thousands and tens or thousands in any cause which stood more in need of her Byrn' pathy and support than the cause they were met to advocate , What was the question they were met to discuss? They had. met to consider the treatment which Ireland had experienc es for many years— the tyranny and misrule under which Ire; land had suffered, and which had nearly driven the people 0 1 that country to desperation, which would undoubtedly be fore this have shown itself in acts of violence, and is the destruction of property if it had not been for the energl exerted in the cause of pacification by that individual whet* a contemptible Government had thought proper to place jo the Richmond Penitentiary (Hear, hear)—and wh o now suffered with those gentlemen, his brother martyr* merely because the Irish people had exercised, for Inge, months, totally uninterfered with by the Government, ths' very privilege which they were that day met there to exer cise—that of meeting in public to discuss public grievance s, The Irish had met to take into consideration the Act of Par liament under which so much injustice had been perpetrated in the Act of Union.—(Cheers.) He was not there to expreo any opinion as to the Act of Union, but in consequence of lb e , treatment which they had experienced, and the misr o , l 7 under which they had suffered, the Irish people had a rig": to meet, to discuss, and to petition Parliament to repeal thsT Act. He was not there for the purpose of disgusting 1 11 , wearying them by going into the details of those trials WiT, which they were all, no doubt, well acquainted. State trig" indeed I—they ought to be called State farces.—(Cheerili There was not an honest man in England who would coo 3, forward and say that O'Connell and his brother martyrs 1 10 ‘' had a fair trial.—(Cheers.) He would not disgust them bi going into details. They were as well aware as Ii was how the jury had been packed—(Cries of " ah l" groans, and hisses)—how certain sheets ° ,l the jury list, containing the names .of Roman Catholics b$ been conveniently lost—(Renewed groaning)) how e'Ve impediment had been thrown in the way of Mr. O'Conn and the others in making their defence.—(Renewed groaning.; They all knew the contemptible and partial conduct of tb Lord Chief Justice—(Renewed groaning)—who acted ° Counsel for the Crown instead of Counsel for the prisoner*, —(Continued groaning and hissing, and'cries of " Shaine. They knew these things, and did they suppose that the bras,`, men of England, who warmly sympathised with tbe" Irish brethren, would tamely submit without an effort to rescue from the fangs of a powerful tyranny the individua l" now in prison, on whom the hearts, the affections, and 0 1 ; hopes of the Irish people were settled ?—(lmmense cheering*/ He would, therefore, propose the following resolution : „ " That we, the inhabitants of Westminster, in public nie e % ing assembled, do hereby protest against the prosecution which have recently taken place for what is called seditiel and conspiracy. And more especially against the illegal .07 unjustifiable means resorted to to procure the conviction O'Connell and his brother martyrs, now undergoing imprison; ment in the Richmond Penitentiary. That, as rational men, o _, feel called upon to declare to the world our conviction that l"; Irish State prisoners have not been legally , tried, and ar, consequently unconstitutionally deprived of their liberty.; while we further assert that had the laws been duly achor,. nisteretl it would have appeared that neither O'Connell 01 the other prisoners had violated any statutory enacti nor offended against common law; and therefore this mean', resolves to petition Parliament, to take such steps as 8 0 insure the immediate liberation of the said prisoners, and Pre vent a recurrence of those acts of persecution and despot's°, which, whilst resorted to under the pretext of law, merel,f uphold the ascendancy of faction by the prostration, v ° national feeling, and the suppression of public opinion. (Loud cheers.) The meeting had not concluded when we went to pr es,. FLANDERS MAIL.
