The first group witness mixed with was at Brandon-hill, about half past I oar o'clock. Witness also mixed with a crowd in Princes-street. The prison was burning during that rime. When the mob held up the bar in the face of the people, they all det-'ared themselves in favour of Re'orm. When a bar was held up to witness he seized it, and had it in his posses.ion at the present mo ment. The bars were chiefly carried by boys. Mr. John Hobtrs examined by Sir JAsrvs SCARLETT— Is one of the night constables of St. Mic-ael's Ward. Remett.ben-cl the Maeistrates meeting at the Guildhall on Sunday morning. Was stationed at the large doors with directions to inform every person who came t•o the doors to see the M•gistrates, to go to the Guildhall Chambers. From 50 to 100 persons came up to witness to inqutre for the Magistrate-. Was drieen from his pest, about half-past 1, by about 100 or 150 rioters, who began to throw stones at witness, who was obligt-d to rseape to the other s•de of Broad-street. Tr.e first person of the mob h ol part of an iron rail in his ham), ,nti we. dressed in a smork-frm k, others had parts of shutters. The fir-t made a stand at the Guildhall but at , erwards passed Witness then res•imed his post, which he held till half past 3. when another m.tb not so extensive as the ore in the morning came by, witness left at this time in con sequent•e of being so fatigued. Oae of the Aldermen carne to witness, at his house. shorty h fore 4, and inquired where the troops were Went to Leigh's Baz tar, where he saw Captain Warrington ; toed him he must go in stantly to Queen's-square, or it would be burnt to the ground. The CT. ain saw he could not send more than 24 men, as they were all tired out. Afterwards a ent to Ulster -street, and inquired for Col. Breve on. Two females from the window, said he was not there. The Alder man then inquired for somother gentleman, whose name witness had forgot. Was told he was there, and the Alderman went in. Witness then returned to his watchhouse. Alderman Camplin afterwards asked him to go to the square with him. Went to the drawbridge to meet the troops. Saw Colonel Brereton there with about 20 men. After wards went to the square, where the tro ,ps began to act upon the mob. A derman Camplin went with the troops. Cross-examined by Serjeant WrinE—When the soldiers began to act, the mob proceeded to disperse. Did not search for Captain Shute's troop. Mr. Valentine Heniker examined by Mr. CAMPBELL— Is a merchant residing in Queen-square, Bristol. Witness's house was not destroyed. Onserved what passed in the square the whole of Sundry night. Should think there were from S to 10,000 assembled in the square during the night. There were shouts and cheers from the mob during the whole of the night, which appeared general. Saw a party of the 3d Dragoon Guards there during various parts of the night, they joined in the cheers, taking off their helmets. In the opinion of witness, it would have been impossible for the Magistrates to put down the riots without the aid of the military. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WlLDE.—Attended a public meeting at the Commercial Room after the riots. Never said that a civil force could put down the riots on Sunday. Seconded a resolution, courting an inquiry into the conduct of the Mayor and military. Witness did this, being impressed with a belief that the Ma gistrates had ordered the soldiers not to fire. The first meeting witntss was at was respectably attended, but observing so much party spirit and unjust persecution, he declined to take any part in the proceedings. The expla nation of the Magistrates in the Bristol papers satisfied wit ness that they had acted with propriety. Witness did not recollect making a speech at a public meeting in his life. The resolution which witness seconded at the second meet ing tv,s in writing. Whether the Corporation of Bristol was Whig or Tory, he could not tell ; believed it consisted of both.—(Laughter.) • Re-examined by Mr. CAMPBELL—For two hours after Sir Charles Wetherell came to the Mansion-house, wit ness should think the riot might have been put do.vn by civil force. .(We shall give the conclusion in our Second Edition.) THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A New York Paper, of the 9th of October, one day later than the last arrival, has been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house; also Quebec Papers to the 10th of October. By the New York Papers it appears that the cholera has greatly subsided there; on the 6th October there were only 24 deaths. " CONSULATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. .! Hamburg, Aug. 2.

Loss OF THE " REBECCA".frOF GLASGOW.—This fine ves sel, a regular trader to Canada during the last sixteen years, and commanded by an experienced seaman, is a total wreck at Matane. She first struck in thick weather, which conti nued three days. Her cargo was not considerable; all was saved except the sugar on board. No lives were lost. . In the week ending on Saturday last, seven deaths occurred from cholera, at the Emigrant Hospital. THE FUNDS. We have no fresh arrivals as yet from the theatre of war in Portugal, or any other official information respecting the Dutch question. The Dutch steamer, expected this morning, it is feared will not arrive until very late this evening, or to morrow morning, owing to her having lost a tide. In the interior, we have reason to believe that the settlement of the Dutch affairs bears a favourable aspect, and the well-informed are still of opinion that a war with that Government will be prevented. Consols, which left off yesterday 841 , opened at the same price, and are so at present. An express from Paris has ar rived--contents not as yet transpired. We hear that the French rentes come 68f 10c. No political news. HALF-PAST ONE. A' vessel has arived from Oporto, but does not bring later dates than last received. It is said before she left, orders were given to land all the Marines and the Rocket Brigade from Don Pedro's squadron, to assist in the expected battle of the 26th. Consols have continued steady the who le of the morning. At one time they were done at 134 ;at present they may be quoted at S 4 % to M. with little doing. Up to the present hour we are without any reports either in respect to the Dntch or Pedro's affairs. In the Foreign Market the favourite speculation still con tinues in Spanish Stock, which advanced in the early part of the day 1 % per Cent. to 1612 17.

ANECDOTE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.— ' As Sir WALTER SCOTT was one day returning from Sd. kirk to Abbotsford, he passed two masons on the road. aide, who had been employed in carrying water in a tub, for the purpose of making up lime; the one called out to the other to whomel the tub.

York Courant. • SYMPTOMS OF TIIE CHURCH IN DANGER. ---We had last week to announce the secession of a highly respectable clergyman from the Establishment, in the county of Middlesex ; we understand a similar circum stance has just taken place in this county. The seceder (whose name we shall not at present disclose) is in this instance a gentleman of highly respectable and influential • connections, ardent piety, and very respectable as an evan gelical preacher. We have also been informed that the eldest son of the Marquis of BATH and his lady have r•- flounced all communion with the Church, and have con nected themselves with the Independent Dissenters.— Essex Independent. Yesterday an expert London pickpocket dis played his dexterity by cutting off the pocket of the keeper of B , istol idewell, containing his spectacles and pocket. book. This exploit was performed in the Court of King's Bench, where the party robbed was one of the audience. LONDON, WEDNES;)AY EVENING OCTOBER 31, 1832 There was a meetin g of the ex-Members of the Conference last night, at .the house of Ba ron BULOW, at which, according to report in the diplomatic circles, the Prussian Ambassa dor expressed an opinion that his Court would not interfere in support of Holland against the British and French Governments. It is added, that the Russian Ambassador declared his in tention of taking the same course as th,t which Baron BuLow might be instructed to adopt by his Government. The story of a protest having been made by the Ex-Conference against the proceedings of this country and France, is, we are assured, without foundation. TA L L EYR AND was, probably, right in urging expedition—Prussia would not be a quiet witness of coercive measures against Holland, if she were prepared for resistance. We insert to-day tire official account of the affair of the 29th of September, at Oporto, in► which our gallant countryman, Colonel HODGES, bore so con.picuous a part. Although an ac cident has prevented the delivery of the packet in which the report of Colonel HODGES to Count VILLA FLOR was contained, until the interest excited by the combat of the 29th has been in some degree diminished, the public wil not be sorry to receive the official statement, bearing testimony, as it does, to the gallantry and good conduct of the British and French battalions in Don PEDRO'S se vice. It will be seen that the first report of the loss sustained by,these corps was rather exaggerated ; bur, considering the small force employed, the number of killed and wounded was considerable - . If the assertion made by an officer of high rank, writing from Oporto, that but for the British and French battalions, Oporto would now have been in possession of the Miguelites, be correct, the timely arrival of reinforeements from France and England must have proved highly gratifying to the EMPEROR and his Ministry. It is much to be regretted that, whilst our brave countrymen and their gallant French col leagues are fighting the battles of Don PEDRO, attempts are making in this country to represent the conduct of that personage as ungrateful to wards his best defenders. It is part of the plan of the Tories to create disgust, or at least in difference, towards the cause of Don PEDRO by such statements; but we were surprised at find' ing some days ago in the Oporto Correspon dence of a Morning Paper, which professes to he friendly to the EMPEROR, a charge against im of having suffered the remains of Colonel BURRELL to be interred without the slightest mark of respect from the Portuguese authori ties, and of having otherwise shown great cold ness towards the foreigners in his service. We are assured that the Emir ERoR and his Mi nisters, so far from having been guilty of the baseless attributed to them, have, on every 3 oC. casion. evinced the vca; - :11 gratitude towards the British and French in the 'service of the Re gency ; and we are able of our own knowledge to state, that the Marquis of PA LAIEL LA writes of them in terms of the highest admiration. 'Ye can only say, that, ardently as we desire the success of Don PEDRO, as one step to wards the destruction of absolutism in E •lope, we shall he among the first to condemn him, should he have been guilty of the conduct attri buted to him. At present, however, we feel warranted in believing that the charge is a gross calumny of the Tories, invented for the purpose of deterring Englishmen from embarking in a cause fraught with danger to the hopes and in• teres of the Conservatives. A Morning Contemporary talks of the un natural coalition of the British and French fleets at Portsmouth. We should like to know what he means by unnatural. Is it because a corrupt faction so long prostituted the energies and resources of Englishmen to the support of the Holy Alliance, that it is now unnatural for Englishmen and Frenchmen to co-operate for the establishment of principles contrary to those of the crowned confederates of Europe ? Is it unnatural for two States, possessing a common interest in the maintenance of constitutional in stitutions to coalesce against the Despots of the Continent, for such, in fact, must soon be the character of the coalition ; or is it more unnatural for the people of two countries, divided by twenty miles of water, only to unite their arms in the defence of liberty, than it would be for Great Britain again to join with Russia for the restoration of the exiled Bourbons, and the destruction of the French Constitution. But we are told that the treaty between Great Britain and France is an attack upon British Commerce, the trade of London being deeply interested with that of Holland. This is not correct. The treaty, however limited now, must soon embrace some general principles. The King of HOLLAND, at this moment re presents in his person the whole des potism of Europe, and by humbling him, we shall also humble the Holy Alliance; But if we are asked whether the war, should war be the consequence of this alliance with France, in support of Belgium, would be'popular in this country, we reply, certainly not, unless some thing more than Belgian independence is to arise from it. The British Government lost a noble'-epportunity of exciting the enthusiasm of the people against the Holy Alliance, when it coldly and cruelly refused to concur with France in an attempt to protect Poland against the Northern Autocrat. It had another oppor tunity of taking a dignified course with the cer tainty of success, when, at the instance of the Holy Alliance, it refused to put down the Portuguese Usurper, and to restore the Spanish Constitution. If a war should, con trary, however, to our expectation, the Holy Alliance not yet being prepared for it, be the result of the demonstration against Hol land, Lord PALMERSTON will find himself powerless without the adoption of a more liberal and generous policy. The people of this country will not pay for a war against Holland unless it be the means of emancipating Poland, and giving liberty to all who are now enslaved and persecuted by the despots of Europe. Let war arise, however, and the British Government. will be forced, whatever its views may be,to call in the aid of the Liberals, and so produce a trial of strength between the two categories of freedom and despotism, which could only end in the triumph of right and justice. An express has been received this morning from Paris, bringing the papers of Monday, and private letters of the same date. The papers contain no news of a political nature, being principally fitted with comments on the treaty of alliance between England and France for the speedy settlement of the Belgian question. The Carlist Journals are very bitter against such a treaty, and the new Ministry. A Ca binet-Council was held on Sunday, at which the KING presided. Au extraordinary courier was sent off the sane night to Brussels and the Haoue, with the determination, it is said, of the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries to take possession of Antwerp in case the King of HOLLAND does not accede to the terms of the treaty signed by Prince TALLEYRAND and Lord PALMERSTON. The general opinion in Paris was, that King WILLIAM would imme diately deliver up the citadel of Antwerp, so as to prevent the blockade of the Scheldt, and the entry of the French troops into Belgium. MarShal GERARD has not yet joined the army of the north, but every preparation was making at the head-quarters of the French to enter Belgium, in case of the_refusal of the King of HOLLAND to evacuate Antwerp. Various inMours -were eircidated at the Bourse on Monday, that the Dutch troops had retired, and that the Belgians had taken possession of the citadel of Antwerp ; but nothing official to that effect appears in the Evening Ministerial Journals. M. DuPIN is still expected to enter the Ministry. His great objection to unite himself with the juste milieu and doctrin naires, is the culpable manner with which the KING and his Ministers allow the Duchess of BERRI to continue in La Vendee, and carry on her intrigues against the Govern ment of the Revolution of 1830. This objec tion, it is said, has been promised him should be removed, as orders have been sent for the im mediate apprehension of that Princess. It is confidently stated in the saloons of Paris, that the Duchess has kept up a communicatiol with the highest personage in the State, and this is given as a reason fur the reluctance of the Government to bring her to trial. The news from Spain is of a most flattering nature for the Constitutional cause. The. KING had made his entry into Madrid amidst the acclamations of Viva la Rana, Viva la Liberlad.: .

Madrid was all gayety at the liberal change the Regent QUEEN had effected. The brave and patriotic General MINA is reported to be at Bayonne. Pdris continues tranquil, and the funds firm. The happy settlement of the Reform Bill is already beginning to show itself in good works. We understand that the parish of St. James's have resolved upon institut ing a strict and impartial inquiry into the amount at which houses are rated, and to assess them in future upon a more equitable prindple. Not only is the value of the house to be taken into consideration, but its extent also—the ground it ocetyies in front and depth is to be measured, and the rate to be made pro p ortionably. Thus Burlington House, which hitherto was rated at only 8001., was yesterday tried by the new standard, and rated at Aar thousand pounds! The example thus set by St. James's parish is worthy of being followed by other parishes. It is notorious that the palaces of Noblemen have been rated much lower than the humble habitations of tradesmen. The Select Vestry System, like the rotten boroughs, must henceforth be placed in Sche dule A. The contents of tie Brussels Papers of Sun day last indicate the speedy settlement of the Antwerp question. Tn the meantime prepara tions continue, though the probability is that not a shot will be fired. Unless Prussia is really di , posed to risk the chances of a general war, the King of HOLLAND will deem it politic to yield, now that France and England are taking the matter up in earnest : BRUSSELS, OCT 27.—0 n the application of Viscount Vilain XIV., Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of the King of the Belgians to the Government of the King of Sardinia, has decided— " Ist. That the Belgian flag shall be recognized and re ceived in all the ports of the kingdom of Sardini " 2 , 1. That Belgian passports shall be respected in that kingdom. 3d. That the news from Belgium shall be placed in the journals of the . S ►rdiniau Government, under the head of Kingdom of Belgium." The Minister of War has just appointed Captain Fos seur, of the 3d Regiment of the Line, to be Governor of Fort St. Michael, beyond Venloo. M. Alexander de Laborde, Aide-de-camp to the King of the French, arrived at Brussels yesterday morning. Three mercantile couriers passed through this city yes terday, coming from Paris, on their way to Antwerp. A letter from Antwerp says, " A Fr.-nch Intendant of the army of the North has arrived at Antwerp. The Dutch sergeant who commanded the artillery in Fort Isabella, has deserted to the Belgians." A number of journeymen bakers have been put in re quisition at Antwerp for the service of t'.e troops. Orders have been received at Liene to prepare ovens. Orders have been given at Mortzel and the environs to prepare quarters for cavalry. - The _Eclaireur of Namurs says, "We learn from Charleville that it is in contemplation to lot m a camp to the d Frartment of the Ardeniies, near that town ; several regiments, among which the 521 of the line are spoken of as being to mike part of it. Measure• are already to progress to send camp equipage for the troops." By a decree of the date of the 25th of October his Ma jesty has confi ed the functions of Minister of Finance ad interim on M. Duvivier, Director-General of the contri. buttons, and import and export duties.—Journal de la Belgique. The Courrier Belge has the following paragraphs : "We can state for certain th it it is now decided that nei ther Fiance, nor England, nor Belgium. shall take a sing!, step towards measures of coercion against Holland befit. King Wiliam shall have given his final answer to the last proposals of the Conference. "We can affirm, as having learnt from a most authen tic source, that two corps of the Portuguese army are ac tually on their march ; the one coming by way 0. Cologne, towards the Prussian frontier, next to Belgium, and the other by way of Treves, towards the French fron. tier. We are likewise able to affirm that the German Diet has just ordered a considerable force, eantoned from the contingents of several St .tea of the Confederation to assemll io—the entitizins of Deux Punts in Rhenish Bavaria." Their Majesties returned to Brussels last night from their excursion to Diest •ind Louvain. The grand review of the troops at Diest was on the day before yesterday. The troops on the ground were above 12,000 mom, commanded by General Hurel, who had under him Generals Ken r and Magnan. After the review the troops divided into two bodies to metre a sham fight, one part defending the village of Montaigu, and the other attacking it. After various evolutions, as the hour was late, th. King desired the fight should stop, that he might again see the troops. He placed himself on the high road with the Queen, and the troops defiled befor them. Tiie King expressed the highest satisfaction with the magi ficent appearance of the troops. He returned to Diest at five o'clock, when he received the magistrates and the clergy, and afterwards admitted to tahle the generals and superior officers who had taken past in the review. It was eight o'clock when their Majesties lel% Diest, and they did not reach Louvain till half past 11. The next morning the King reviewed the troops that were at Lou vain—viz., the 2d of the line, eight squadrons of cuiras siers, and three tiatteries of artillery. His Majesty wag perfectly satisfied with the troops, arid particularly with the artillery. The King, on horseback, and the Queen in open carriage, afterwards placed themselves on the boule vard to see the troops file nif. The boulevard was crowded with spectators, who loudly cheered their Majestie,s.— Brussels Pape, s, Oct. 28. IVAazauito, OCT. 22.—This morning news was re ceived of the death of the Minister of Justice, Baron Von Zu. Rhein. During the illness of the deceased, the th partment of justice Was confided to M. V. Grandaner, Counsellor of State. The natgnificent palace of Warzhurg will remain unin habited ; the Queen DoWager has declared that she will never live there, and . the residence of the Crown Prince, which was to be at Warzburg, will be at Neuburg, on the Danube.

The French squadron at Spithead is com pos .41 of very superb vessels. The Admiral's ship carries 100 guns on two decks. We arc assured that the son of M.

MIGUELIT E PASTIME.—When Don MI GUEL resided at the Imperial Palace at Vienna, his fa vourite amusement was distending the bellies of live fowls by injeetine air into their bowels and sowing up the vent, and afterwards throwing them out of the window in order to see them hurst! This was well known at Vienna, al though the Court (though it did not like to interfere, di rectly, was not a little sandalised at such a erut.l sport being practised :n the Imperial residence) endeavoured to conceal it as much as possible from the public. ANOTHER INCENDIARY FIRE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF LOUTH.-We are concerned to state that another calamitous fire, evidently the work of an in cendiary, was dis,overed about 3 o'clock on Thursday o•orning last, in a tarns yard belonging to Mr. JAMES KIRKBY, of Terney, near Louth. On the alarm being s ,, veral of toe inhabitants from the neighbouring villirs asseiiiitled, and made the most praiseworthy ex ertions to stop the progress of the flames G. M. ALING TON, Esq., of Sninhop. was on the spot before 4 o'clock, and was amongst the most active in extinguishing the fire.

INTERESTING- TRIAL. CHARGE OF ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO COMMIT A RAPE. (Abridged from the Boston Gazette.) Edward Hartley, a wool-buyer of respectable connec tions residing at Boston, stood charged with assaulting Sophia, the wife of Francis Bates, of the same place, with an intent to commit a rape. There was also a second count, charging him with a common assault. M. - HARWOOD, in stating the case, observed that M rs . Sophia Bates, the wife of the prosecutor, was th e d aug h ter of a gentleman residing at Warwick, and who was con cerned in the management of newspapers published in that place. She bad been married between three and four years, and had hitherto lived with her husband in per fect harmony and affection. Thrice had she become a mother, and at this time had two helpless infants who demanded from her a mother's care. Mr. Bates's occupa tiln was that of a schoolmaster : he bad lately come to re side in Boston, and had hoped to procure an honourable stnsistence for himself and his family but his best hopes were now blasted : his peace of mind was destroyed; and lie had determined to quit a place, of which he must ever reta;n so painful a recollection. Mr. IL then proceeded to state the facts of the assault. Mr. H. then called Mrs. Bates, wile of the prosecutor ; who stated that she flr4 saw the defendant on Sunday evening the 15th July last, when she was overtaken by him on the road leading from Hospital Ridge to the Sluice. He inquired if her name was not Bates, and said that he wanted to see her husband respecting his vote for Mr. Wilke. Witn ss informed her husband of the circumstance on her return h,ime. She saw defendant no more till about 10 o'clock the next evening, when she was standing in the garden by her kitchen door. The house is in Norfolk-place, into which the front door opens; but the garden com municates by a gate with the road leading to the Sluice. [A plan of the premises was here put in, and handed to the Jury.] Defendant came in at the gate, and inquired if Mr. Bates was at home. Witne s s replied that he was not, but was expected in ever minute ; upon which he said be would wait, and of his own accord walked into the house. Having seated himself in the parlour, he took up a book, and began to read : some time elapsed, and Mr. Bates, who had been on a journey in Wainfleet, did not return. Witness kept passing in and out of the parlour, attending to the affairs of 'he house. At length, about half-past 11, after put ting her infant to bed, witness sat herself down in the room, where defendant still remained, and took up her sewing. After a few remarks had passed defendant in quired if the servant was in bed, and witness replied that she was. At that time she kept no servant, but thought vie question an impertinent one, and therefore gave that answer. There was then no one in the house but them selves and the two children who were in bed. Witness became uneasy, and observed that it was strange her hus band did not return. It was then a quarter to 12, and she rose to go to the door, when at that moment defendant flung her on the floor, and proceeded to take improper li berties with her person. Witness here described the par ticulars of the assault. She screamed out " Murder," and struggled as long as she could, but ultimately fainted, being very weak from suckling her infant, then eight months old. She was unable to state what 131 lowed. On recovering her senses she found herself in the arms of her husband, to whom, as soon as she was able to speak, she rela'ed what had happened. Cross-examined by Mr. Sr. NILAND —Had not told de. tendant that her husband would be out that night. Never said anything about getting a little wool-buyer; never said ;hat as defendant bad done something once for his own pleasure he should do it again for hers. Never re ceived any 'money of the defendant. Did not like de. fend Ant's staying. Observed that it was getting late. Did not call in a neighbour. Does not make any neighbours. Put the shutters to about half-pant nine, and locked the front door. Mr. Francis Bates stated that on the day in question it was just twelve o'clock when t , e reached his front door, which he found fast. He knocked two et- three tines, and was surprised that nobody answered. He then went round to the garden gate, and entered at the kitchen door, which was wide open. On going into the parlour 1 e found his wile lying senseless on the floor, and at that moment he heard the children crying in bed. He lifted his wife up, and fetched her some water, after which she slowly recovered. As soon as she was able to speak she described what bad taken place. When he found his wife, her dress was very much disordered; her hair was hang ing over her face; her stay-laces and comb were broken ; the latter was lying on the floor. ➢lr. STANILAND then addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and after closing his remarks on the evi dence, called Ann Sabiton, who deposed that she kaew Mrs. Bates, and also the defendant Hartley. On the night in ques tion was standing at the end of Norfolk-place, close by Bates' garden, waiting of her husband coming home. A little after 10 observed Mrs. Bates walking in the garden. Defendant soon after passed witness, and went in at the gate, which was opened for him by Mrs. Bates. Defen dant said something to her, but witness only heard the word " night." They walked together into the house. At this time a man and woman were sitting together upon a rail on the opposite side of the road. The man ex claimed, " This is the night that Bates will wear the horns." Witness stayed a quarter of an hour longer, and then went back to her house, which is in a court just by. Having got her supper, witness went to the house of Mr. Higgs to look for her buabizid, and stopped there some time. Was returning home a little after 12, when defen dant passed her by Mr. Knight's house, and just after she sr w Mrs. Bates half way up the garden, walking quick towards the house. Cress.examined by Mr. HARWOOD—On being asked what she is, replies she is " nothing ;" never studied the stars ; never told people their fortunes; lives near some houses of a certain description, but does not keep one herself; was standing bsbind some railings, when Mrs. Bates let in the defendant at the gate. Mrs. AnnWatkinson deposed that in a conversation which ,he had with Mrs. Sabiton some time ago, the latter stated that she saw Mrs. Bates let out defendant at the gate a quarter of an hour after she let him in; believes Mrs. Sabiton to be a common liar, and would not believe her upon her oath ; has known Mrs. Bates some time, and has never witnessed any impropriety in her conduct ; believes her to be a modest woman. On being cross-examined, admits that she desired Mrs. Sabiton not to go to Court ; believes Mrs. Bates to be a particular nice woman ; has said that all would be villains taw appeared against her. Mr. HARWOOD, in reply, declared that a more unprin. ,•ipled and infamous defence had never coins before a Court. The defendant had boaAed that he was a success ful seducer—that the unfortunate woman who appeared there to-day had fallen a willing victim. It bad been svposed that Mr. Bates' approach had given the alarm, and that during the moment the defendant was making his escape, the wife had trumped up the story of an assault. Would they believe that the broken comb—the unlaced stays—the dishevelled hair—that all this shoat and circumstance was the work of an instant ? His client was a young woman—a young mother :at the moment when her husband entered, and defendant was supposed to have left her, her children were crying in bed. Could they imagine her revelling in the defendant's embraces, r gaidless of the voice of her infant, crying for its accns. owed nourishment ? It was too unnatural to be believed. lie concluded by calling upon them to find a verdict ac curling to their conseiences, uninfluenced by prejudice or any private feeling, or by the yellings of the brutal mob assernlihrl about the Court. The Jury then asked leave to retire. After half an hones deliberation, thee returned to the Court, and de, livered in a verdict of Not Gu.lty. During the whole of the time the Court was crowded to an excess never before witnessed, there being one dense throng from the street through the long room below up to the bench where the Magistrates were sitting. Immediately titer the verdict, two gentlemen from a distance, who had been sitting on the bench, addressed themselves to Mrs. Bates, and assured her, in delicate terms, of their convic tion of her innocence. Similar expressions of condolence have subsequently been sent to her from dATerentquariErs, On the other hand, the popular feeling was in liivc.ur of the defenddnt ; so much so that it nas thought dangerous for Mis. Bates to leave the Court, insulrs being actoaliy threatened io her person. Si.e accordingly iemained be. hind under the core of the const,bles, and was afterwards conveyed home with a similar escort.
