srAtn We gave the opening of the ploceedings ,at ) eAy ytsterday. The Ciu F BAtto presided, Mr. Justice DALLAS sat on'his right, Mr. justice 'kasciT`o:t his left, end Mr. Justice 'on Mr. AtnotT's left. The Clerk 'Of the Arraigns was painfully itffected by but lie stated the charge, and repeated the usual formltlar expres sions 4.)f ' Are you gui!ty or not guilty'?" " How - ynti be tried?" and "God you IrgoOd deliveranee," with - great . prriety. The Grand jury were cafted over - , the. PrOcla agaiwl,t vice and imitiorality was 'read, and the Chief Baron intimated the 'resolution of the Court to preyefot the publica(iou OT the proceed ing's till the whole were finished. His Lordship next asked Mr. Attorney• General whether he had any information to give to the tOtirt as to the course he meant to adopt The AITORNEY-GSNERAL said, that since his had occupied so little time in address ing. the Gland Jury, it tnigla be convenient, and save time, if as rnauy as possible or the prisoners, or all of them, were arraigned this evening. If the Counsel for ilie,prisoners had no objection, Le proposed - to bring the prisoners into Court in numbers or 8, 10, or 12. He did not know what objections his Learned Friends, whom he under stood to be Counsel for all the prisoners (Mr. Cross and Mr. Den.oJn assented) might have to state, and he bad no wish to call for such objec tions prematurtly ; but if they did not object, he Would arraign the prisonets in such numbers as 'Could be conveniently bron2ht into Court at once. Baron IticuAtms.—Would calling them in and atrAigningthern in such untnliers save time ? ATToRNEY-GENiatAL.—Yes, , my Lord, as the must be read over in the hearing of all the prisoners. • , Caoss.--My Lord, as I am not aware of nny prrjudice that can- arise to the prisoners from li v i n g arraigned in such nunibers as Mr. At torney may think proper, I have no objection to rifer. The following twelve were then brdhght into Court :—Thomas Bacon, Jeremiah Brandreth (whom we fo..'inerly mentioned to have i.ever ihaved since his imprisonment and is still un shaved), Gen. Weightimin, Wm. Turner, Joseph Turner (the 'Manchester delegate), Isaac Ludlam the cider, Isaac Ludlam the younger, Samuel Ludlam, William Ludlam, Samuel Hunt, Edward Turner, Robert Turner. The indictment was then read, and all the prisoners pleaded Vvt Guilty. • All these prisoners are - rather young men, ex cepting Bacon, and Isaac Ludlank.the . elder i - who are old men; Isaac Ludlam the younger is a very good looking youth. He stood close try the side of his father. The following twelve were next brotight into Conit :--Charles Swainc, John Onion the elder, JA I) IVl,lcheswick,.John • Hill, Joseph Rawson (alias Thorpe), Joseph Tophall), G£l , kin Bu.too, Edward Moore, Josiah Godber, George lirassing tot), Wi Adams, anti Hardwick. = Tbe in , ;etnient •w - as. read, to' them, and they all pleaded LVrt Guilty. All these are young men, and rather good-look ing. G,dber is a man cf about 50, and bald. The remaining eleven were next brought up : %Tulin Thomas Entor, Joseph Savage, J , ;,n Weightnlan, Vicunas -IVeightmn, Joseph Weightman -the younger, Thomas- Bi•ttison, Alexander Johnson, and John Bacon. They all pleaded Not Guilty. Savage, Moore, and 1.33C00 are middle.aged men ; the rest ate fioe-looking•young men, particularly Thomas Weir,lit Mari. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to ask Mr, Cross Lethet he intenthd to make many challenges of Cut. jorot s : he did not press the question, but if I‘,lr. Gros, was prepared to arts wcr it, he should consider it very desirable to know whether there u ere to he any challenges : it any answer was' declioed, of course time was an 'end of the question., Mr Cross.—My Lord, I have only to observe that 1 not prepared to say any thing on the subject. CUI.EF BARON.--,NO ; Mr. Cross has expressed himself. unprepared to say any thing on the point, -OMd therefore nothing can be said on the subject. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL bowed and sat down. The Court then adjourned at five o'clock, to nine o'clock to-morrow morning. The . Court was very much crowded. The Grand—Jut y occupiud their own gallery, on the right of the former Crown Court. the seats in . the front of the Nisi Prius Court were occupied by the spectators; but they are so far back, as to rtuder it impos: , ible to hear what is said, or even to see any persons in the Court but the Judges. The place appropriated for t;ie prisoners was quite too small for so many as were brought into it at once ; but at the trial, it is thought that more than 0114 or two are not to be put to the bar at once. lit the course of the arraignment, the noted Henry Hunt (of Bristol) was seen st-onding behind the bm.,-and attractekl mtich ob servation. DERBY,If-past 3 o'Clock, p.m., Tlocr.schry. The Court met precisely at nine o'clock. The doors were Opened at that hour, and the rush of the crowd, who had previously assembled in the yard in front of the hall, was so great, that it took fully a quart 2r of an hour to establish order and silence. Mr. ;leader now took his seat with the Counsel we, mentioned yesterday for the CroWn. The, list of Jurors, .consisting of th e , number of 300, were called over ; 268 answered to their names. Of the other 32, most were ex cused for age or infirmi y ; 10 Were fined 101.— This occupied the Court tifthalf-uast JO. !MC ATTOLINEY-GENTBHAL.—My imtention 15 to proceed to try the prisoner jeremialt Brandreth fit sq. • The CII,IEF BA RON.--L Bring up Jeremiah Brand Veil,. _ .

Twenty-five Jurors . teere per et . itlarily chal lenged for the prisoner,: Milli of White, of Ide ridgbay, farmer; kViltiaw Morley, of Chiaddes(lme, lancer ; Riehert Beard, o balboty, farmer ; ham ::;,11t, of DOveridge. farmer ; Hobert Frost, tit Duffield, tanner ; John Ileacock, of Etwail, E. William Bailor, of the same, farmer ; Thomas OMR:, of Kitt en, farmer; Sandie! Atelier, of ilollington, farmer ; Thomas Hall, of iltillapd, farmer ; Thomas Ensor, of Marston-on-Dore, farmer; Walt hall •-pierrier, of the saiiie, farmer ; 1-leery Spuirier,, of the same, tartnet ; Michael iodall, of I \l a t st o :l -Mb u tgomerv,.tartner ; Thos. Lowndes, of the same, farms r ; Thomas Web ster, of Met casket', farmer ; John Bradshaw, of Oslinton and Thurvaston, farmer ; Robert Ship ton, of Scropton, farmer ; John Stretion, of the saute, fanner; Robert Steeple, of Shirley, farmer; John Skevington, of - Yeaveley; farmer ; Isaac Statham the younger, of Shottle and Postern, farmer ; Paul Caulton, of toe sarue, farmer ; Williaut Berestord, of Suelston, gentleman; So lomon Frost, of the same, farmer, Three jurors ere ehallengt'd for the Crown : Thomas.no botham, of p.overid g e, farmer ; Thos. Borough; of Hulland, gentleman ; William Shipton, of Scropton, farmer. Thk last jurot had been call ed into the box, and the officer had read the oath to him, when the Counsel on both sides objected to hint. Mr. Citoss rose to submit to the Court that this challenge must be considered to be •on the part of the Crown, since the juror had not ,been challenged by the prisoner before the oath Was. begun to be put. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL.-1 contend that the challenge must be made before the oath be gun to be r e peated that' Mr. Cross vt.as bound to have Made his challenge in this instance earlier, and that therefore he tun,t be held to have chal lenged this•juror. Mr. CRoss.—The prisoner has the. ptivilege ref 3i ptu.cmptory challenges ; but it ceases to be a privilege, it he is obliged to exhaust his challenges before the. Crown is called upon to exercise any challenges. Ai-i - ottNEY-Gese.am..—Tire prisoner, in my ap prehension, must first challenge, because though the Crown can challenge peremptorily in the first instance, yet if there remain not a sufficient num ber of Jurors, it is obliged to assign a cause for thosechallenges.. Mr. DENMaN begged, as a matter of favour, to be allowed to speak upon this point. Mr. Justice AnBoTT.-1 torrsatisfied that it hai been the uniform practice from Kitig William ;11. downwards, that the prisoner be first called on to challengi, and then the Counsel for the Crown. Mr. DENNAN.—If uniform practice be decisive, I . have nothing to say; but when there.is a list 01 300,jurors. the privile,.w of the prisoner be comes a were nullity.; if the Crown can get: rid of the jurors, it may be disposed to challenge through the medium of the prisoner. The ques tion cannot frecrieutly arise, but it appearS to me of great importance. The fair way in point of principle seems to be, that the 'Crown should take all the challenges Which it would be dispdsed to make, .and that the prisoner have his 35 chal lenge's applicable to persons.that would Otherwise be admitted. In 3 . 00 there can be no danger of there being too few remaining, so as to oblige the Crown to recur to its challenges and assign a cause for them. ATTOUNEY-GENERAL..—From the whole course of State "trials, though I have not read them fur the purpoSe, I challenge my Learned .Friends to find one instance to support their position. The prisoner can challenge 35 front mere cap; ice or any impression on his mind; he can at terwards challenge any number for cause. The Crown has no right, finally, to peremptory challenges, since it niusi. assign a cause if the list be . e)ehaulted. If the principle contended for were almitted, the case would be, the Crown would have no peremptory challenges ; fur having first challenged perempto rily, the prisoner would afterward; challenge those that reidaiued, and thus the Crolvn would be obliged to assign cause for ail its. challenges. The Court consulted for several minutes, and then gave their opinions seriatim. Mr. Cl ! tief Baron IncrtAtlns.—l ant of opinion that the oath is one and entire, and ought not to be interrupted. This has often been properly dis pensed with from comity and tenderness ; but called upon to decide, I . must say that the chal lenges ought to precede the putting the book into the juror's hand. lam clearly of opinion, too, that the practice has uniformly been to call upon the ptisourr to challenge first, and then upon the Crown. This, too, is tight in principle. Mr. Justice DALLAS itt .The list of the jurors must be served upon the prisoner 50 early that he can come fully prepared as to his challenges. Mr. Justice ABBOTT was of the same opinion. Mr. Justice I-loLttoYn WAS Of OpillloONit the rule of law rquired that the Challenges be made before the oath is begun to be repeated, and that the prisoner challenge before the Crown. It was so determined, if his recollection was not wrong, in E'yre's case. ATTORNEY•CIENERAL.—I have now no objec tion to take the challenge for the Crown. Mr. Cross.-1 ant obliged to the Attorney- General, and I have to apologize for occupying so much of the time of the Court. The following Jury ‘vere at length put into the box : William Wilkes, of Church-Bioughton, farmer; John Stretton, of the same, farmer ; John Tem pest, of Burley, farmer ; Samuel Wilder, of Et ntall, farmer; Thomas Archer, of Hatton, far mer ; R01n...1 Eaton, of OsliSton Mid Thurvaston, farmer ; Thomas Gilman, of the same, farmer;. Thomas Sherwin, of Rodsley, farmer ; Thomas ---, of the sante, farmer ; Harry Yares, of Lapperton, firmer; John Oakden, of Veaveley, farmer.; John Adset t, of the same, farmer.

BiIUSEELS, OCT. i 1 .—The following has just aprared in this City : ANNIHILATIox OF THE ENCLIqH MONOPOLY, OR THE WISHES OF THI BELGIANS IZEALIZED. " The great question of uwional and commer cial interest, which has long employed the patriots of all countries, is on the eve of being solved in No:hing is wanting to will it, and what thegeuitts of Napoleon could realize on ly in'part, notwi!listanding all his power and exera 7 oedinary measuies, which were often injurious to commerce, the Belgians will attain, by a means very simple in tie principle, and very easy in its execution. 1 - lonour and Glory to the Ghent patriots, and to the founders of the Society established in the city of Ghent for the encouragement of the tin tlutist manufactures of the kingdom of the Nether lands They have recognised importance for the preservation of our establishments, and they (tare adopted this mrans as the only remedy to be, op posed to the enemies of the Ilati ' ollBl industry. The impulse is given ; it 'is sulcient to preserve it ; and the persons who are interested in the im portatioo of foreign goods, which is' so injurious to our commerce, trill soon be sensible of the Ite cesiity of submitting to a measure which is ac knowledged to be indispeosible for the support anti 'advantage of our man u factories, the produc tions of which, - meeting with customers, will Anal); attain the highest degree of prosperity. To effect this, and to paralyse the disastrous effects itf ate system of iattodueing foreign mer chandise, alot p,ittictihtrly articles •ot Eng lish manufacture, which are. more directly in, competition :rids ours, it will lie proper to girt! the entire preference to the produce of our mann factories, and lo itt this respect, the ex ample of our neighbouts, adopting the saute Means by right of reprisal, in respect to every thing which does not-make a part of our national in dustry: The author observes, that on the mar riage .01 the PrincesS - Charlotte, her whole house hold was ordered to be ; dressed in English maim. factures, and that her Royal - Highness's dress maker was forbidden to employ any thing foreign,- w i der pain of losing her custom ; and that the Prince Regent desired thirse who appeared at his Co.trt to be dressed iii articles of English manu facture. Let us imitate this example; let ns im pose on ourselves a slight sacrifice for the public g ood ; let us hope that the Government will see the fiecessit y" of seconding the efforts and - the wishes of the Belgian patriots e let us cease to be t r ilintaties to a nation so exclusively jealous, and so interested in the annthilation of our tlityllol:lC tutes ; let us be penetrated with this groat truth, and the declared enemies of foreign iudustry till soon perceive all the effects of it.
