(FROMDENT.) --- A ---.0.------ coRREspoN ABERGAVENNY FRIDAY, Two o'CLocK, P. m, A meeting of ate inhabitants of this ancient town has just taken place In tNe Town Hall, to c T on h g e r c at h u:te the Queen on her recent Decal from assassination. filled by that truly Focral and enlightened Clergyman. Chair was ably the b ß us e ii;ess W o . f th e Powell, meeting iii h e ' Vicar of Abergavenny. In opening the that portion of the gave a severe and well merited castigation Preen who have sneered and treated lightly the and atrocious at. tempt on the life of our most gracious Sovereign ndher illustrious Consort. He eulogised in the warmest terms the toher conduct of her Majesty, and after paying a just tribute of respect Royal Father, the late Duke of Kent, to whom he said he had y the ho. naur of being known, concluded a truly eloquent address b on his parishioners, situated, as they were, in the immediatcealvliicing nay of the recent tumults, to rally round the Throne, a n d oiler their heartfelt congratulations to the fairest and purest Monarch that ever reigned over and in the hearts of an affectionate and loyal people. The Reverend Gentleman sat down amidst loud and reiterated applause. Mr. HILEY MoausN moved the address, which was seconded by W. Pewst,L, Esq., of Tanne, and adopted by acclamation. [A few such liberal-minded Churchmen would be a great bless ing to our country.] AN HONEST CABMAN.—This morning at SA o'clock, on the arrival of the mail train from Birmingham at Euston-place, a gentleman of the name of Cotwell, of the firm of Cutwell and Ce., American merchants, of Liverpool, arrived by the train. On alighting from it kis luggage was placed in a cab, an d d r i ven with himself to Guilford -street, Ruswll square. After returning to the stand, the driver on opening the door discovered a pocket-book tied up, and on opening it country and Bank of England notes, amounting to upwards of 2,700/., were found in it. The driver instantly drove off, and restored the hook to the owner, who at the time was uneon scions of his loss. The honesty of the cabman was most libe rally rewarded by the gentleman. ROYAL EXCHANGE. —The General Court of the Mercers' Company met yesterday to receive the report of tie GI esham Committee (the Mercer's side) on the subject of Mr. Tite's design for the Nevi Royal E xc h ange, The report contained the recommendation of eleven out of twelve of the committee that the design should be adopted. The Court con fl Tried this recommendation by a very large majority, and re lotred it. back to the joint Gresh am C ommittee to carry th. same into effect without delay, LONDON: SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1840. The House of Peers, after receiving several petition s for protection to the Church, and against the Irish Corporation Bill, &c., proceeded to read the Order of the Day for a Committee on the Corporation (Ireland) Bill. It was understood that no discussion was to take place on this stage, that Lord LYNDUURST was to in troducs his amendments, have them printed, and dis cuss them afterwards—a mode of proceedin g which, as we some time a g o explained, spares a g ood deal of un necessary talk, and enables the Legislature to come to a more satisfactory and better-thoughted con clusion. On the Order of the Day, however, being read, up started the Bishop of EXETER, the STANLEY of the Upper House, and made a long speech against the motion and against the Bill altogether. He took this step on behalf of the Church, on which the Bill would inflict, he said, a serious injury. The Prelate satisfied their Lordship; that it was on religious, grounds he wished to thwart the people of Ireland. Miss MARTINEAU in her " Retrospect of Western Travel," observes, that the American Statesmen could not believe Lord Jong RUSSELL in earnest when he talked about removing one stone of the Irish Church, and yet expected to keep up the cumbrous building. They treated the continued existence of that Church as an impossibility, and regarded the Statesmen who attempted to maintain it as ninnies. The Bishop of EXETER. is about to prove to the strongheaded men of the United States that they are mistaken, and that this Church can not only be kept up, but can support a yet greater load of infamy than now weighs on it. The Bishop describes it as the main obstacle to poli tical improvement in Ireland. The Duke of WELLINGTON rebuked the Reverend Prelate, by reminding their Lordships of the unchr standing they had come to, but by which the Bishop declared he was not bound, He had the modesty how ever not to press a division, in which he would probably have stood alone. The Bill was sent into Committee. Lord LYNDHURST moved his amendments, which were ordered to be printed, and taken into consideration, that is, spoken to and decided, on Monday week. Tne Canada Government Bill was brought up from the Commons, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on the 30th instant. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from the suspended ministers of Strathbogie, and repeated, as Viscount MILBOURNE said, by taking a single case, and thereby showing:the possible horrors of the Veto Act, the debate on the Scotch Kirk. Most of their Lord ships, except the Earl of BREADALBANE, condemned the conduct of the General Assembly, as most illegal. The petition was laid on the table. At eight o'clock their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons numerous petitions were presented, including one by . Mr. GILLON, signed by 19,000 persons, from Edinburgh, denouncing the conduct of the Ge neral Assembly, and praying for a separation of Church and State. Sir ROBERT PEEL adverted to the persecuted Jews at Damascus, which he described as a subject worthy of being mooted in the House of Commons, aid as serted that the persecution bad been connived at by some Christian authority. In answer to another statement made by the Right Hon. Baronet, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the speech of the Governor of Jamaica, congratulating the House of Assembly on the happy termination of the Session, which had appeared in the newspapers was correct, and the despatch received on the subject would be laid before Parliament. The House went into a Committee on Lord STAN LEY'S Registration Bill. On the first clause being put, Visccamt MORPETH moved an amendment, the purport of which was to leave out the clause and insert another, which went to keep the names of the present voter on the registry, unless in cases of death. The Noble Lord supported hip view in an able and forcible speech. Lord STANLEY defended the clause, denied that his Bil► disfranchised any person, and stated that he did not expect opposition at that stage of the measure. Mr. SHIEL made a sharp, brilliant speech in favour of the amendment, and showed up Lord STANLEY in a very handsome manner. Mr. D'ISRAELI followed Mr. SHIEL, and followed him at a very humble distance. Dr. STOCK spoke in favour of the amendment. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON went into all the old stories which the Fictitious Vote Committee had collected. Mr. E. B. BARRY rectified an error of the Learned Sergeant as to Cork. Lord PowEßscoußT admitted that he had made an incorrect statement on a former evening, and then made other charges agai nst i n di v i duals, which will probably turn out as inaccurat e as the former. Mr. J. GRATTAN had convicted the Noble Lord of his former error, and would procure information to cor rect his present statement. Mr. CALLAGHAN corrected some other mistakes of Mr. Sergeant JACKSON. The Solicitor-General for Ireland, Mr. PICOT, showed that the Bill would disf ranchise a gre a t ' multi tude—that it is contrary to the Reform Act, which had guaranteed the existing franchise—and would increase the temptations to perjury. Sir E. SuGnEs showed that a clause, similar in effect to the clause which the Ministers proposed to cut out, was in the Bill introduced by Mr. PICOT. He entered nto a minute explanation of the clauses of the Bill, and was coughed down for his pains. Mr. MACAULAY closed the debate, by an able and effective speech. The Committee then divided, and Lord MORPETII'S amendment was carried, by 296 to 289—majority for Ministers, 7. The House then resumed, and after a little squab bling as to the future day for proceeding with the Bill, which was appointed, we believe, for Monday, and the future course of proceedings, the other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned. Another great party debate occupied the House of Commons last night, the subject being Lord STANLEY'S Bill. Like all such debates it took a somewhat personal turn. For nearly two hours the Committee was occupied with the complaints, cri minations, and recriminations of Messrs. Sergeant JACKSON, Mr. E. B. BARRY, Lord POWERS COURT, Mr. J. GRATTAN, Mr. D. O'CALLA GIIAN, Mr. MONTAGUE CHAPNIAN, and Mr. LEFROY. These disputes turned on charges of perjury, which Messrs.JACKSON, POWERSCOURT, and LEFROY had at some time or other made against some portions of their countrymen. If those accusations were not true—and some of them appeared to be completely disproved—the gentle men who made them are surely guilty of a crime— that of falsely calumniating the absent, which is quite as heinous as the perjury with which they brand the Irish. A little reflection, indeed, may lead to the con clusion that the Irish Members of the House of Cominons only rail so bitterly against the people to conceal their own delinquencies. They follow the example of more than one celebrated preacher, ad dicted to the vices of the world, who make it a rule to alarm their hearers by fearful denunciations every Sunday, so that they may have neither tune nor inclination to watch the pleasure-loving pastor. What the Irish are accused of—we do not say con victed--is a little false swearing, to attain a political or party end. What many Members of the House of Commons stand convicted of is, that they habi tually trample under foot all moral obligations, to reach their particular political purposes. They may not, technically speaking, commit perjury—they may not violate any express form of oath, but they daily and habitually sacrifice the duty they owe their country to party and factious pur poses. An elector takes a false oath, with a view of sending Mr. 0. or Mr. M. to the House of Commons ; that is his political purpose—there be gins and there ends his crime. But Mr. J. or Mr. L., who is sent to Parliament, promising, swearing, to devote his life to the public service, and promote by all the means in his power the public welfare, no sooner takes the oaths and his seat than his whole thoughts are devoted to the means of pro moting his own and hiS party's purposes. This is a kind of practical perjury, as far exceeding in guilt the perjury of the Irish peasant, as it surpasses it in its mischievous consequences. The one only degrades and debases individuals, the other plunges a nation in distress, shame, and ruin. We will not dwell on particulars, but the existence of Corn-laws—for which most of the Members who bawl so loudly against the perjury of the Irish voted—the existence of one code for the rich and another for the poor—the poverty to which the industrious classes are reduced, and the extortion which the Legislature sanctions, are irre fragable proofs that the Members of the Legisla ture care less for the obligations they contracted than the Irish, whom they delight to brand with the charge of perjury. We received the Flanders and Hamburgh Mail last evening, but their contents are destitute of interest. The only circumstance deserving notice is contained in a letter fromßerlin to a Hamburgh journal, which states, that the late King of PRUSSIA enjoined his son above all things to use his utmost endeavours to preserve the peace of Europe, to maintain a strict alliance with Austria and Russia, and to beware of innovations, with out going into the contrary extreme of being swayed without reason in favour of whatever is old. The French Chamber of Deputies voted the Trans atlantic Navigation Bill on Thursday. The lines are to be established between Bourdeaux and New York for North America, and between Marseilles and the River Plate for the South. The Opposition Journals see no advantage to the country in this measure. They appear persuaded that the English Companies will beat the French out of the field. This is not at all unlikely. The following extract of a letter from Constan tine, contains the only news of the slightest interest in the Paris Journals of Thursday CONSTANTINE, MAY 23.—The ex-Bey Achrnet, who had still 1,500 horsemen, has just been driven front Dyr, where he tad taken refuge, and robbed by his own peeple, who were near bringing his head to Constantine, as a proof of the good faith of the Arabs, who have made their submission to the Lieutenant- General. Fifty Chiefs of various tribes situated on the frontier of Tunis, in the environs of Tepsa, with the Kaid of that last place at their head, have come to announce to the Lieut. -General that they re present theliemenchas and the Arnarons, and that they submit to the French authority. We have hitherto had no intercourse with these tribes. The Arab chiefs told the Lieutenant-General that they had attacked Achmet Bey, had killed several of his people, and forced him to retreat into the mountains on the frontier of Tunis, after having captured his tents, several camels, and a part of his flocks; that the ex- Bey had a horse killed under him, and that he narrowly escaped falling into their hands. This event deprives Achmet of all hopes of recovering his power ; he lately received, it is said, tho diamond insignia of some order from the Sultan ; and he boasted of it in order to gain credit for a report which had spread, that he was going to receive Turkish troops to make war on the French, but now he must consider his cause as totally ruined. A column of 1,200 men, com manded by Col. Livasseur was sent against Achmed-el-Cherif, which perfectly succeeded. The chiefs of tribes of Riga, which are subject to us, have been protested against the hostile Arabs ; the flocks which had been taken from them have been restored, and the column brought back a good number of cattle. Achmed-el-Cherif fled, and the chiefs who had not yet acknowledged El-Mokrany, the Kalify of Medjana, threw themselves at the feet of the Lieutenant, asking pardon, which was granted on their furnishing hostages. This portion of the Medjana is now tranquil. Those tribes will stop the battalions of Abd-el-fader, should they attempt to move to. wards Biscara.—Ls Constitutionnel.

Long before the opening of the Court, the Beneh and every part of the Court was crowded by well-dressed persons. Never has there been known such an assemblage of ladies on any preceding occasion in a criminal Court. Every chair in front of the Bench had its lady occupant, and during the whole of the three days the ladies have been indefatigable in their attendance—many of them not quitting the Court even during the time of the adjournment. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was not present to.day. Shortly after ten o'clock the Judges took their seats upon the Bench, and immediately afterwards Francois Benjamin Courvoi. sicr was placed at the bar. He appeared pale and downcast, and anxious; but his firmness did not desert him. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL suggested the propriety of examin. ing the person who had made the model. Charles Augustus Rivers was cross-examined by Mr. BODKIN-- lam a sculptor. I made the model produced. It accurately re presents the premises. The height of the back wall is 16 feet . 3. It continues along the whole row of houses. The height of the wall on the right side is 8 feet 7, and of the building on the other side, 10 feet 4. The height of the weather boarding 6 feet 10. Imme diately behind it on the other side is a bottle rack. It was in a very rotten &tate. I cannot form a judgment if it would have borne the weight of a man. The height of the wall Pram Sir Howard El. phinstone's garden next dooriis 14 feet. Sarah Mansell recalled. The prisoner remained in the house in Norfolk street from the time of the discovery of the murder until he was taken into custody. Inspector Tedman recalled. I examined the bottle rack, but not perfectly. Beresford examined it. He is sent for. Mr. C. PHILLIPS then rose to address the Jury for the defence,and said that after thirty years' considerable experience in his arduous profession, he had seldom had to address a Jury under more painful or anxious circumstances. There were circumstances produced before the Magistrates calculated to cause censider. able anxiety, and he left them to judge how much more that ti anxiety must have increased by the production of evidence yester day, without notice, calculated to increase the danger of the union. tunate man who now stood at the bar. lid said danger, because he should show presently that that evidence was by no means con clusive against him, and he had the sympathies of the Jury in his favour, as they were embarked in the same cause, and if they came to an unjust decision en surely would they have to answer for it to their Goa. He V 7,3 filled with dread when he considered the po. pular prejudice; which had been raised agai st the prisoner before any investigation had taken place. When he considered that this case had not been left ti, be dealt with by the ordinary in struments of justice, but that the investigations had been stimulated by a large Government reward, as if the grave knew of any aristocracy, arid when he saw this crowded Court, and almost heard the throb of indignation which beat in every bosom on considerine the crime with wh;e!) the prisoner was charged; and when ho saw that unfortunate man at the bar, steed. ing there alone, friendless, for front his friends, his country, and all those who in his misfortunes could have afforded him comfort and assistance—the object of all this prejudice and this indigna tion, he owned he should have felt dread, did he not fix the anchor of his hope in the justice and good sense of the Jury; and he was sure that when the prisoner, two days ago, re fused a foreign Jury, he was perfectly right in trusting himself to an English Jury. The case was most mysterious. He had to complain of Mr. Adolphus in his opening. That gentleman had attempted to excite a prejudice against the prisoner because he was a foreigner. Foreigners rob, and murder when they rob. It was a libel on the human race. His (Mr. Phillips's) countenance fell when he heard Mr. Adolphus say this—. he dared not look up, lest he should see some of the representatives of those foreign nations who had every day crowded this Court. Mr. Adolphus was an historian, could he point out an instance of a murder in Switzerland ? Was not that country celebrated for its humanity, its kindness, and its virtue, and that was the country of Courvoisicr. What would be their feelings if in a Court of Jug. tice in Vienna or Madrid they were to see a fellow. countryman on his trial for life—what would be their feelings, if they were to hear a Counsel say, This man comes from the country of Patch, Greenacre, and Thurtell, and Englishmen always murder. What must have been the feelings of Courvoisier's countrymen in listening to Mr. Adolphus's speech? Mr. Adolphus had attempted to induce them to believe that crimes might be committed without a motive. He could attribute no motive to Courvoisier, and therefore he had recourse to this absurdity. His allusion to the case of Oxford was most unfortunate. -He firmly believed that he was a maniac. If actuated by morbid motives of notoriety he had dared to direct his murderous aim at her, the beloved, the beautiful, the virtuous, who was enthroned in her people's hearts, he must have been, if not mad, at least on the very verge of madness. What motive could Courvoisier have fcr committing this crime--revenge ? There was no quarrel between him and his mas. ter. Jealousy ? He was a favoured and a trusted servant. Plunder ?—He had every opportunity of plundering wholesale, almost to any extent, without suspition, or if suspicion were excited, shared among him and others. He could imagine a midnight plunderer entering the house, and, to prevent discovery, committing the horrible crime with which the prisoner stood charged. But even supposing the prisoner to have committed the crime ) must he not have been mad—mad to have committed it without motive—mad to have remained after the commission of the crime in a place where he could scarcely avoid being detected. Let the ingenuity of the bar discover a motive, if they could. They had endeavoured to do so ; they had failed. They then said a crime could be committed without a motive—a contradiction to experience --a contradiction to common sense. This was a case entirely of circumstantial evidence, and therefore every minute circumstance was entitled to their consideration. The pro. secutors were bound to prove, not by inference, not by argument, not by subtle ingenuity, but downright palpiole demonstration, that the prisoner had been guilty of this crime. It was not for him to say who did it. If they asked him who did it, he would say, ask the omniscient God—he knew not—he was not called upon to rend asunder the mantle of darkness, and throw a brilliant light upon this most mysterious crime. He imputed it to no one. He sought not, as had been insinuated, to cast any imputation nn the female servants. The first fact relied on by Yr. Adolphus was the prisoner's agitation. Now here he was called up by the housemaid, and she said to him, Let us go and see where my LOrd is. He owned that expression struck him as very remarkable. If she had said, let us tell my Lord that the house has been robbed, it would have been natural ; but why should she suspect that my Lard was not safe ? Coutvoisier did as ha was bid—went first into the room, opened the shutters, I the housemaid saw a spot of blood upon the screamed, and ran out. Now he had referred to the Coroner's depositions, and Mr. Adolphus had very generously said that he might put in these depositions, and the prosecution would waive the right of reply. The Judge had very properly interposed, but the Coro. ner's depositions were before the Bench, and the Bench could see what she had said before the Coroner. He should not put in the depositions, because he could not expose the prisoner to another exercise of Mr. Adolphus's ingenuity. The shutters were opened, the prisoner saw his master murdered—aged, respected, veners. ble, beloved—there he lay, welieling in his b:ood ; and tt was ex pected that the prisoner should show no agitation. Had he shown no agitation, would it not have been said that a cool, deliberate, cold-blooded wretch, who could look upon such a scene without agitation, would have been the man, of all others, capable of corn. sniffing the crime. Why, his own witnesses exhibited the same agitation. I say the agitation is a proof of their innocence. He says it is a prcof of that man's guilt. He wished Mr. Adolphus had been in Hyde Park with him the other day to have witnessed the agitation of the bye standers when the attempt was made upon the life of the Queen. If agitation was a proof of guilt, there was not a person there but was guilty of the attempt upon the life of the Queen. But he rendered no assistance. He slid as soon as he recovered. He went to write to Mr. W. Russell. He (Mr. P.) knew that gentle man, and deeply did he sympathise with the grief of that last scion of that illustrious stock. While writing he was interrupted by the housemaid, with that feminine exclamation, " What the devil are you doing here." He is told Mr. Russell must be sent for, he goes to the door, and calls the first man he sees, to send him— but is again interrupted by the servant. There were horses "in the stable, he had an opportunity of taking one of them, and es caping—he had some hours to have done so—but he remained answering every question put to him, and answering those ques. tions truly. He is left closely watched by the police—tortured with questions which he answers truly—and every question he answers truly increases the suspicions against him. The occasion of taking him into custody was the finding the locket upon him. " Dare you look me in the far e?" said the police. man. " Yes," said Courvoisier. "It is the murdered man's," said the policeman. "It is mine," said Courvoisier, and he is taken into custody. The locket is shown to Ellis, he says "It is very much like my Lord's." "It is mine" said Courvoisier. His Lordship's locket is found concealed in the pantry, and Courvoisier turns out to be right. If it had not been found this locket would have been produced. Ellis, like an honest man would have said it was like it, and it would have been insinuated that the locket found in the prisoner's pocket was the murdered Lord's. Again, the impression of the seal was found in the possession of the prisoner. He said this was given to bins by Mr. W. Russell, but this, although said at Bow-street Court, did not suit the gentlemen conducting the pro. secution to admit, but he must do justice to one of the gentlemen attending for the prosecution, the worthy representative of the Bedford family, Mr. Wing. That gentleman had heard what he c a n d a m d itt g e o d n e tha t t o su A c l h r. w W as . th ß e u c s a se s l e l . , was justice said and his at ow and that gentleman, in a manner which did honour t o hi s j Bow-street; once Mr. Wing with the greatest kindness and humanity informed the prisoner's Counsel of it, and thus they w ere saved from the safety of the prisoner by being drive n to put Mr. Russell into perilling the box, and perilling the prisoner's saf e ty b y subjecting himto mr. of the Adolphus's ingenuity in reply. Every answer out to be tru e. I n the o pening ' turned it was said that the candle was so placed that his Lordship could not read in bed. Now it appeared in evidence that it was not so placed. • Again, his trunk was searched ; and, said Mr. Adolphus, do you think he would have put the evidence of his guilt into his own trunk. Indeed he must have been a fool or a madman if he had done so. Tedman, to whom he would do the justice to say that he had given his evidence mcst fairly, searched his trunk on the 6th, and found nothing in it. Now what would an apprentice policeman of the old school have done? Why,for the interests of justice it was his bounden duty to have corded and sealed that trunk, and put it in some place of safety, where no miscreant, tempted by a reward of 4001., should have an oppnrtu. nity of introducing proofs of guilt, but it was left open to all the gang of police in the house and to the maidservants. They ex .mined It again on the Bth—Why ? And Tedman, an honest man, examines it again on the 13th—Why ? He gives an honest reason. The uncle of the prisoner came and requested a change of linen for the prisoner. The prisoner sends his uncle to the house to the police to get a shirt out of his trunk, which had been searched on the 6th. Tedman goes and takes out a shirt anti shakes a pair of bloody gloves from it. Who put the gloves there whilst the man was in gaol? Or would he, knowing they were there, have sent the robes to examine it ? Tedman does not have recourse to the scoundrel's excuse, that he did no: search minutely. Was there not practice in this ? " Thus bad begins, but worse remains behind:. Collier, who, for reasons best known to himself, would not go to the trunk without a witness after the search by Tedman on the 6th and on the 13th, goes to the trunk on the 18th, and finds, in the very top of the trunk, two bloody handkerchiefs, marked with the prisoner's initials. The trunk had been examined after Cour. voisier was in prison ; so that he could not have had the oppor. tunity of putting evidences of his guilt into his trunk. Why did the policemen go one after another to this same trunk, which had been proved to be free :from suspicion on the 6th ? Suppose the shirts might not have been secreted, how did they account for the handkerchiefs and the shirt front ? 'Tedman saw nothing of them on the fith ; they were not seen on the Sth ; who put them into the trunk Not Courvoisier ; he was in his dungeon. What villainy had been at work. Why was the injustice done of not cording and sealing up his trunk, so that it might have been produced as it was found on the morning of the murder ? Had not some one been at work to make the prisoner the victim of his machinations ? He supposed he was not goi n g too tar in sa y in g there were strong p that the trunk had been practised on; those who had done that might do other things. Mr. InspeCtor Pearee,who would not intimidate a wretch to endeavour to hang him, finds the things in the prisoner's pantry, and takes them up and shows them to hint. There was no need to use words to intimi. date the pri ' soner under these circumstances if he had been guilty ; he shows h • things,and Look here, Sir, dare you look those says, me in the - face? Was anything so likely to strike a petson dumb as the production of these things and that inquisitor inflicting worse than physical torture? Courvoisier did look him in the face, and said he knew nothing about them—he was innocent. Contrast the conduct of these two men, and see on whose brow guilt is most deeply branded. Did you not use them to intimidate the man ? said my friend. I did not, sa id Pearce. Now, could he believe him ? Mr. Maine was in the house at that time. Mr. Hobler was in the house at the time. Why did they let that fellow go up to the prisoner and exhibit those articles be. fore him, and try to intimidate him into a confession ? It was , their duty to have gone up themselves to him, and said, These articles were found in your pantry—can you account for them ? but instead of that they send this fellow to torture him, Why, !I the Inquisition, except that it added bodily torture to mental, never exceeded this. Was this fair play ? was this conduct that ought to have been practised by any men? But it was done, and this same fellow tells you on his oath that he expects to share the plunder, 450/. reward to be divided among them on the coffin of Courvoisier. He thought the days of blood-money were over. Never, since the innocent men were led out years ago to execution, in consequence of the perjury of police officers, had any reward been offered. He was aware there was the humisug ofa reward in the case of MeTennpleman,but he knew that he had lain five weeks in his grave without such a reward being offered. But the reward was offered on conviction, not for the discovery of facts ; the receipt was to be written in the blood of the prisoner. The Govern. ment might have been actuated by the purest motives in offering it, although it is curious that no reward was ever offered until one of their own body was touched ; but the effect of it was to induce the forgery of evidence. Let them take that miscreant Baldwin as an example, who first swore he had never heard of any reward, and then admitted that it had been read out in his presence. He told the Government with the freedom of a man who had nothing to hope or to tear from them, that any Government which, in a case like this, offered a reward, was accessorylto the murder of a prisoner. What had been the consequence of offering a reward in Templeman's case ? Why, two innocent persons, a man and his wife, might have been trepanned in consequence. In construing the expressions of Courvoisier, it should be recollected that he was a foreigner. "If these things had not been found in my pantry it would not be so hard against me ;" a most natural expression. But who hid them there. It was the last place in the world where lie could have hid them, if he wanted to escape the detection. Who hid the handkerchiefs ? Who hid the gloves? The same persons might have hid these things in the pantry in order to throw suspicion upon Courvoisier. He knew the Jury would give all these things full consideration before they doomed Courvoisier to death. It has been represented that he said, if he had as inuet money as his master he would not re. main long in this country, and from this expression made use of in the presence of the servants of his master, it was sought to be insinuated that he contemplated murder and robbery. He must have been mad, had he contemplated crime, to have made use of such an expression. If they were poor and iu a foreign country, what would be more natural than for them to give utterance to such an expression on sesing some rich man. Let them recollect tilt country to which Courvoisier belonged. To a Swiss the bubbles of ambition, the realities of wealth—all war as nothing eomparrd with the native land he loved. No expres sions could be more natural. Then a great deal was said about his money—nothing could exceed the nonsense that had been tittered on this subject. They found in his pocket a Si. note, which un questionably had been Lord W. Russell's, arid yet he hides a 101. note, and rings, and all sorts of other articles. He admits the Si. note had been Lord W. Russell's, and that he changed it. He is asked if Lord W. Russell had more money. He says at once he had a 51. note arid a 101. note. This turned out to be true. The 10/. no e is afterwards found in the pantry. Did this look like guilt? Would he have admitted that the 51. note had been his master's if he had been guilty. Valuable prop•'ety is left behind, and yet the cook's thimble is taken arid Ileft ostentatioesly .n the passage. Who put it there—the same ;r• tson that hid the things in the passage? The case was full of doubt and mystery, and if the Jury convicted him, it would be at the peril of their souls, for he should show them, that if they be lieved the prisoner guilty of anything, he alight be subjected to the highest punishment the law could inflict short of death. Why should the housemaid introduce the circumstance of her having felt drowsy after taking the ale, before the Magistrates, and why was it abandoned now ? He thought he could point his finger at the man who had said, If you rely upon that, the Jury will laugh at you, because he drank of the ale himself. Ingenuity induced the suppression of that which eagerness for conviction had produced. Was it likely that Courvoisier would have de stroyed a shirt and economized a front--and oh! the stupidity of these policemen, the front, of all other parts of the shirt she most likely to be spotted with blood in such a case. Not an article marked with blood was found in his possession —not a mark of blood upon his person—not a mark of blood under his neiis, where it was notorious it would remain in spite of all wash ing, like the blood-spot on the hand of Lady Macbeth. Why was it that, after going to all the expense of the model, the rooms in which Courvoi-ier and the servant slept should not have been on the model. Courvoisier's room was next to that in which the servants slept. Courvoi. aier's bed was against the partition on one side, and Courvoisier's was against it on the other. Courvoisier was found in his room in the morning ; the cook was awake when the housemaid got up ; and yet, during the live-long night, no noise whatever was heard in Courvoisier's room. He now came to a portion of the case of , which he had loudly to complain. Up to the evening of Thursday not one cord was said about the missing plate. Nothing could be more shameful than the way in which that man was treated, in the not having, within an hour of Mr. Comyn's arrival, notice of the new evidence to be produced. They ought at least to have had the night to have investigated the character of the witnesses to be brought against him. He knew not who Mrs. riolaine was, and if she did not tell the truth, those who came to corroborate her proved nothing. He hoped they knew Leicester-place. Here was a billiard-table at the Hotel de Dieppe, where any person might go in and play. Here was this woman living wills her husband, who most conveniently goes to France, and she swears that she never opened her lips to her husband on the subject of the murder, because she was too busy. Had they ever heard anything so absurd ? Was it not odd that such a discovery should have been made in the middle of the trial, a reward of 501. having been offered previously for the discovery of the minutest portion of this plate. A French newspaper is read to this lady that puts her in mind of the parcel. Now he begged their at. tention to this. Courvoisier was never known in that house by the name of Courvoisier. He was known only by the name of John. How could the French paper direct her attention to this ? Mr. Baron PARRE—You have no right to raise a doubt upon the paragraph in the French paper, unless it is put in evidence. Mr. C PHILLIPS—Did not subject his client to any fresh mine that might be sprung, without notice, upon him by calling upon them to put in fresh evidence. The whole depended upon the evidence of this woman. She knew so little of Courvoisier that when he first called she did not know him, and that when she opened the parcel she sends ror h ,If a dozen people, who all sign a sort of round-robin as to the articles found in the parcel. All that was consistent with the woman not having received the parcel from Courvoi..ier. They attempted to identify the clothes, but they utterly failed ; and that woman proved, if she proved anything, that the sock was not Courvoisier's. He was sure If the Jury could find their way out of the case consistently with justice, without shedding that man's blood, they would do so. Now, supposing they ad. mitted everything connected with the property, that it was left there by Courvoisier, was that conclusive of the murder? He tbought riot but it was conclusive of robbery, fur which he might be convicted, and sentenced to be transported to surfer a lingering death upon Norfolk Island. Here was a golden bridge for them to pass over. If they entertained a suspicion, and yet felt themselves bound to acquit him, still he might be punished for it ; and he would say, if he should hare been guilty of the murder, which he hoped to find he was not, better, far better, would it be that he sh mid repent, in the bitter. ness of such an exile, than be sent, in the dawning of his life, to an ignominious death. This did not come so in aid of the former proof as to compel them to convict him. " Now," said the Leal lied Advocate, "my anxious task is ended, and yours is about to begin. One of the attributes of the Almighty God is now committed to you— the issues of life and death are in your hands. You are to restore that man once more to the enjoyment of existence and freedom, or to send him to an ignominious death, and brand Lpon his grave a murderer's epitaph. Awful is the consideration—still more awful the responsibility. Violate not lightly that temple which the Lord bath made. Recollect, the word once gone forth from you, it is irrevocable. Speak it not lightly. Speak it not upon suspicion, however strong—upon moral conviction, however cogent—not upon argument, not upon proba bility—but upon broad, clear, irresistible noonday conviction. I speak this in no hostile spirit, but with a Ci ristian feeling. If you do this deed, do it not lightly, or its consequences will follow you like a shadow—it will accompany you in your crowded walks— be with you in your homes, and his accusing spirit will hover over your death. beds, and confront and condemn you at the judgment. seat of your God. Beware what you do. The address of the Learned Counsel was listened to with breath less interest by the most crowded Court we ever witnessed, and at the conclusion of it many of thcm present were affected es en to tears. The following witnesses were then called to character and exa. mined by Mr. CLARKSON. Mr. Jennings—l am the proprietor of the British Hotel, Jermyn street. The prisoner has lived in my service, and both myself and my Wife remarked the probity, modesty, diffidence, and even simplicity of his character. James Nob am waiter in the service of the last witness. I knew the prisoner while in the service of Mr. Fector, who is now going abroad, anel always considered him a quiet, humane, and inoffensive man. Jean Peton—l am in the service of Lady Julia Lockwoo.l. I knew the prisoner while he was in her •Ladyship's service. I have known him four years, and consi , ler him a well.conducted, good tempered, quiet man. Jeanne Susanne Peten—l am the wife of the last witness, and am in the service of Lady Julia Lockwood. I have lived with her Ladyship fifteen years. I have known the prisoner ever since his arrival in England, and have always considered him a kind, good. hearted man. Lady Julia Loc's wood—The prisoner lived in my service for nine months as under servant. I have had opportunities of observ_ ing him, and think him to be deserving of the character of a kind hearted inoffensive young man. All the witnesses to character having been examined, the Court adjourned for refreshment previous to the summing up. The Court reassembled at Half-past One o'Clock, and the Jury having answered to their names, Lord Chief Justice TINDAL commenced the summing up. Ile desired the Jury to discharge from their minds all they might have heard previous to being sworn, and calmly to consider the evidence they had heard, and consider whether it was sufficient to hring home to their minds that the prisoner was guilty. If they enter. tained any doubt on the subject, they were bound to give the pri_ goner the benefit of it, but if they came to the conclusion that it was by the prisoner's hand that Lord William Russel died, then, however painful it might be, they were bound to convict him. The case was one of circumstantial evidence, and if circum. stantml evidence were to be always rejected, crime would always almost go unpunished, because it was very seldom that persons committed atrocious crimes in the presence of witnesses. But it would not be enough for them to be satisfied that such and such circumstances were consistent with the guilt of the prisoner, but that they were utterly inconsistent with any other suppo. sitton than that the prisoner was the person who committed the crime. He would first offer some general observations on the case and then read the evidence. It was beyond a doubt that Lord W. Russell was murdered in the night between Tues day, the sth, and Wednesday, the 6th of May. Th. re was no pos sibility of saying that he had committed suicide. It was also per fectly clear that in the course of that night a robbery was com.. mated. Various valuables were taken away, all of which were afterwards found concealed in some other part of the house. It was for them to determine whether it was within the reach of human possibility that that robbery was unconnected with the murder. Whether there could have been a robbery by one set of people, and a murder by another, in the same house on the same night, was a most important point for them to consider—whether that was a robbery committed by persons breaking into the house, or by the inmates residing in it. At seven o'clock in the morning it was found that th e f ront area door was fastened, the front door opptt, the back door fastened, the back area door open, and a cloak was found folded up, with a napkin lying upon it in the hall, near the front door. Upon the first impression, therefore, the natural infe rence would be that some person had entered by the back area door, which bore marks of violence, had robbed the house, murdered Lord W. Russell, and afterwards made his escape by the front door, leaving his booty behind him. But were there any circumstances leading us to suppose that this was merely a contrivance, for the pus pose of avoiding detection by the real perpetrator ? Now, it appeared that no articles were really taken away, and that many ar ticles easily portable were left behindmnd theywere to consider whether a real thief would have left such articles behind him, some con cealed with great care, and others left close to the door, when the thief might have taken them away with him on his person without exciting suspicion. Then, with regard to the door, they would hare to say whether they were marks produced by a person break. ing into the house, or made by a person after the door had been opens.. He should wish these not to place any great reliance on the expressions made use of by the prisoner, or on his agitation, as the conduct of a person under such circumstances depended so much upon his temperament and education, that it would be harsh to draw any inference from them. Neither should they suffer some of the observations of the Learned Counsel for the defence to produce too great an effect upon them. Th ey were placed to administer not mercy, but justice, a n d te , give their verdi c t accor di ng ly. They were bound to put the most favourable construction they could on the circumstances, and having come to a conclusion, they were to recollect that they were under the obligation of an oath to administe; justice, an d they must find their verdict accordingly, regardless of the conse. euenees. The Learned Judge then proceeded to read the evi. dence, assisted by Mr. Baron PARKE. On reading the evidence of the cook, his Lordship said that it had been commented on was asleep, while ohs (the that the housem a id sa id the cook housemaid) was getting p, and the soak said she was awake. I He did not think this was an important discrepancy, as, it the cook did net speak, it might have been natural to suppose she was asleep. With regard to the warming pan having been left on the stairs, he did not think that a circunistanc of any im portance one way or the other, With regard to the observa tions which had been made upon the expressions used by the housemaid, " Let us go and see where his Lordship is," he thought it was merely a natural expression of anxiety for his Lordship's safety under the circutnstances. With regard to her preventing the prisoner sending to Mr. Russell by a labouring man passing by, her idea might have been that a man of that description, sent to such a di stance as Belgrave.square ,might have loitered by the way, or perhaps not have gone at all ; however, they had heard the observations of the Counsel upon it, and it was a question entirely for them to determine. With regard to the expression used by the prisoner, " Old Billy was a rum old chap, and had money," he thought the jury must not lay too much stress upon expressions used by persons in the prisoner's class of life when discoursing nRh their fellow. servants ; all the inference that could be drawn from the expression was that the prisoner thought Lord William Russell was a rich man. With regard to what had been said by the Counsel about the seeming contradiction in the evidence given by the housemaid in the Court and before the Coroner, he ought to have had the evidence given before the Coro ner read, and to have given her an opportunity of explaining it ; as it was, her evidence was uncontradicted ; and even admitting all that the Learned Counsel had said, he really did not think it was a (To be continued in our SECOND EDITION.) BOW STREET-(THIS DAY.) THE ECCENTRIC SOCIETY. Mrs. Honey, lanclla , ly of the Sutherland Arms, Great May's Buildings, St. Mertin's.lane, appeared before Mr. Jardine, at the instance of the inspectors of tl F division, for having on the 14th instant, being Sunday, opened her house for the sale of beer, wine, and other fermented liquors, before the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon, for other pur?oses than the entertainment of travellers. The defendant pleaded not guilty. There were several gen. tlemen who have been for several years members of the Society present, and who appeared anxious that the case should be fully investigated, their impression being that the meetings of their body did not come within the provisions of the Metropolitan Police Act. Mr. Moore, the Barrister, who appeared fur the defendant, en. tered into a lengthened history of the Society, which has been established for forty years; and after enumerating many of the most celebrated men who have been members of it, contended that It was never contemplated by the Legislature to interfere with such a Society, the objects of which were merely conviviality and in tellectual amusement, to the exclusion of religion or politics. The ewe being proved, Major Revel, who had been a member thirty-nine years, proved that the sittings of the Society are necessarily delayed on S.iturday night ; but the house is invariably closed at the hour required by law, and the Society was anxious to have the decsion of the Magistrate upon the subject, in order to remove doubt in future. Mr. JAROINE said he was satisfied the house had been kept open for the public, and as the rules of such a respectable society had been so strictly and orderly observed for such a number of years, the case on such grounds should be dismissed. e - k) pA, b. .+~ ~ L IT lON.

A HINT TO STANLEY. Every one knows, or at least should know, The Starling," a tale told long ago,*— ( Which the Morning Chronicle and Post, Some six months since, or a year at most, Applied to the Whig and the Tory host) — How, torn from his woods, and confined in a cage, Like Cardinal Belluc, the would-be sage,-f The poor little bird, now moody with care, And now quite frantic from sheer despair, Kept striking his wings against the bars, As Horace his head against the stars,t And crying the while in dismal pout, " I can't get out—l can't got out 1" Not thus cries Stanley, the Tories' darling, Tho' frantic with rage as Yorick's starling, He, wandering in truly sad condition, In the barren desert of Opposition, Casts a longing glance to the Canaan sunny Of Office, flowing with milk and honey, And cries with moody, sardonic grin, " I can't get in—l can't get in 1" Malignant turn-coat I Do all you can To dupe and coerce your fellow-man; Heap slander on slander, lie on lie, Sophistry pile upon sophistry ; Pour forth your vials of wrath and spite, And swindle a nation out of its right; March in the van of the Tory throng, In Tyranny's cause three hundred strong ; Do this, my Stanley—do this, and more Than reckless Apostate e'er did before-- The Eden o' Office you never shall win, But still go crying with clamorous din, " I can't get in—! can't get in 1" • Vitle Stern , 's story of the starling. t Ca-dinal Benue. a conceited, ignorant priest, who aspired to the character of a great statesman, was confined for many yerirs in an iron cage, by order of Louis the Eleventh of France. " Sublimi feriam sidera vertice."—Vide lidirace's Odes. On Thursday their Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Arcmberg and family, attended by the agent to the General Steam Navigation Company at Ostend, honoured the Menai steam-ship with a visit. After going all over the ves sel, and examining everything most minutely, their Highnesses were pleased to pay Captain W. Phillips a high compliment on the excellent condition of his vessel, and the extreme cleanli ness and neatness of its accommodations. On quitting the vessel, the Duke did not forget to leave a handsome gratuity for the crew to drink his health in a bumper. It is not gene rally known that the Menai was built by T. Ashton Smith, Esq.. for a steam yacht, who spared no expense in fitting her up with every comfort and convenience ; notwithstanding which she was sold, and is placed on the Ostend station, where she is decidedly a favourite. Captain Phillips was for several years captain of one of the Royal Yacht squadron, Lord Dy sart's yacht, the Owen Glendower. Amongst the numerous passengers who left on Friday evening by the Menai was Lady Duncan, daughter to the Earl of Camperdown, with carriage and suite.—Brussels Paper, June 10. WATERLOO ANECDOTE.-Sergeant Weir, of the Scots Grays, was pay. serjeant of his troop, and as such might have been excused serving in action; but on the day of the battle of Waterloo he requested to be allowed to charge with the regiment. In one of the charges he fell mortally wounded, and was left on the field. Corporal Scott, of the same regiment, who lost a leg, asserts that when the field was searched for the wounded and slain, the body of Sergeant Weir was found with his name written on his forehead by his own hand, dipped in his own blood. This, his comrade said, he was supposed to have done that his body might be found and known, that it might not be imagined he had disappeared with the money of the troop. FORGING A PERSON'S MARK.-Last week a very important point of law was settled by the High Court ofJus ticiary. A man was indicted, at the Circuit Court of Perth, for the crime of forgery, in so far as he had simulated the mark of another person, to a bill. An objection was taken to the rele vancy of the indictment, and the case was remitted to the High Court, which unanimously decided that to forge a man's mark was quite as criminal as to forge his name.— Scotsman. The Manchester Times of Saturday, in reference to the late diabolical attack on the Queen, has the following re marks :—Had the assassin succeeded in his murderous design, we should have had Ernest of Cumberland as our King ! The bare apprehension of such an event is enough to shake the firmest nerves; for the consequent Revolution might render these hitherto peaceful islands the scene of a sanguinary civil war. The liability to such a contingency ought no longer to exist. There ought to be scch a Reform of both Houses of the Legislature as to offer a security against the evils attendant upon the accession of a liberty-hating Sovereign. In the meantime, as reforms extending the liberties of the people make slow pro gress, there ought to be an Act of Succession, setting aside the foreign Prince, whose advent in England would be the signal for all the horrors of a bloody revolution. The example has been set before, and on grounds even less tenable than those which might now be taken. THE GROWING CROPS.—The provincial papers teem with accounts of the most cheering nature respect ing the appearance and probable yield of the growing crops. The wheat, in various parts of Lincolnshire, is already shot into ear, and a very heavy yield is expected. In the North of Lincolnshire, and in the East Riding of this county, harvest is expected to commence early in August, and be general towards the middle of the month. Several fields of hay have already been cut.—Hull Advertiser. EPIDEMIC AMONGST CATTLE.—Although the disease is still prevalent, we are glad to find that when a veterinary surgeon is immediately in attendance, or some known remedy instantly administered, the safety of the animal is se cured ; we have not heard of a single instance to the contrary in this neighbourhood.— Cambridge Advertiser. The hay harvest has partially commenced in the neighbourhood of Newcastle. The crops of old grass are gene rally very good, but the new lands, we are sorry to hear, are mostly light, the clover having in many parts missed altogether. The farmers are now busy sowing their turnips, for which the weather is very favourable, and the early sown are springing very luxuriantly. The corn crops are looking remarkably well, and hold out the promise of an early and abundant harvest.—Dur hang Chronicle. We observe that the booksellers of Glasgow have resolved that, during three months in summer, their shops shall be closed at five o'clock on the Saturday evenings. This resolution has been formed in consequence of a req u i s ition' pre sented by the young men and, in our opinion, is riot only a wise but a humane one. A few hours on the last da.y of the week may be employed by the shopmen with benefit *dike to mind and body, and the master be s loser.--91asgow Herald. A ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.--On Tues day last, at Exning, near New market, as a horse belonging to Mr. Wm. Fyson, was rubbing himself against the frame work of a field well, the wooden curb that encircled tt,e brink gave way, and in he went, and slipped backwards to the bottom, a depth of 15 feet, the water sta-ading 4 feet deep. The circum ference of the well bet.ig much greater at the bottom than at the top, the horse, u,iinjured by the descent, was able to turn himself and get on his legs, and before the day was over, was dug out of his perilous situation, perfectly safe- and sound. —lpswich Express. THE MOORS.—\V a have received intelligence ngloc: - .lities, in ',hi s coun ty, an d from several pa r ts of the g roust a all concur, that in consequence e , f the mildness of the weather during the process of incubation , the young . birds are both plentiful and very forward, and that the a pproaching season will be the best known for a numb er of yea .rs past. The rain which fell in April was not at .all injuri ous t o th e bi r d s , in fact, it had a tendency to cause them ts'n batch their young with more certainty and less danger.. The reports from Scot land are, that broods are large and laulnerCgas, and the birds particularly strong.—Leeds Intellige sccr. PENNY WISE AND POU ND FOOLISH.—On Saturday, a young man was fined by B tifie Small, in the Police Court, Glasgow, in 10s. 6d., for an : to =ault upon a saddler, in his own shop. It appeared that the o Ifs nder had taken a port manteau to the saddler to have the bs tton-hole repaired, for which he was charged one penny. T: very moderate charge he considered a piece of extortion, and a t, - er some higgling , he began to b e l a b our th e sa ddl er w ith tl- p, rtmanteau in a nattt ed '" sty of which was f a r f rom b e i ng relished.
