Of this the deceased furnishes a mournful example; for despite the indis putable ability of Dr. LYNCH, he has fallen without leaving any provision for his immediate family, and he has fallen, too, in leading on the forlorn hope which is, year after year,. adventured against metropolitan contagion. Latterly, we have had to chronicle many noble, and almost sublime, instances of heroism among the clergy, and especially among the Catholic priest hood at Leeds and Liverpool—instances in which men have willingly sacrificed their own lives by car rying the consolation of religion to the deathbeds of those stricken down by deadly and contagious mala dies. The like heroism is continually shown among the labouring class of physicians. The members of that perillous profession are exposed perpetually to the ravages of malignant fevers, and Dr. LYNCH is by no means a solitary victim of the evil system in opposing which he exerted his talents, devoted his time, ne glected his fortunes, and sacrificed his life. He is, unfortunately, only a more distinguished instance of the precarious tenure of existence in his profession, and of the deplorable consequences of the procrastination of sanitary reform. It is for these reasons that we most cordially sympathise in the earnest hope ex pressed by Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, that whatever recompense can be given will be afforded, and thereby prove that the people are at last " begin ning to recognise their true benefactors."

Well, Young Ireland has at length triumphed, and the advocate of physical force has been returned for the county of Limerick as a fitting companion for the Tory. The contest was in every respect a severe one, and the- result may be attributed to the extraordinary coalition that took place between the Conservatives and Young Irelanders. The extremes have, indeed, met, and the most violent on either side united their forces, in order to exclude the com paratively moderate men. It is difficult to under stand by what process of reasoning the parties were enabled to satisfy themselves of the propriety of such a course, or what could have been the end or object proposed to be attained thereby. It is, however, certain that the policy has not been limited to one locality or district, but that it has spread throughout the entire country. Conservative Young Irelanders are springing up on every side, and a plenary absolution is readily afforded to all former sins; nay, they are suffered to retain their ancient political predilections, provided they give in their adhesion to the splendid phantom, and declare themselves converts to Repeal. In Wexford, Mr. GRO6AN MoRGAN, who at the last general election came forward as an ultra-Tory, and was then de feated by a majority of 879 to 450, is permitted to walk over the course in company with the Repeal candidate, and the moment after he is declared to be the representative for his native county pro fessed himself to he a Repealer, and vowed " by the ashes of the deceased Liberator never to be false to Ireland." In Clare, too, we find Sir Lucius O'BRIEN the Conservative candidate, placed at the head of the poll by a large majority, while at the last election Mr. C. O'BRIEN who has just been defeated, was re turned in opposition to Mr. CaorroN MOORE VAN DELEUR, the seconder of Sir Lucius O'BRIEN on the present occasion, and the representative of the same party, by a majority of 1,072 to 223. In Carlow, where the electors had been more closely balanced, probably than in any other part of Ireland, the Con servatives are re-elected without opposition, while in the county of Cork, the Yorkshire of Ireland, the re pealers are dealt with in a similar manner. In Gal way county, Mr. MANSERGH ST. GEORGE, an ultra- Tory, gets in without a contest. In Kildare, Mr. JOHN AUGUSTUS O'NEIL, who represented Hull from 1826 to 1830, and in that capacity made some of the most violent speeches in opposition to the emancipation of our Roman Catholic brethren, is strenuously supported by the priests of whom he was formerly the strongest opponent. He has, how ever, discovered the error of his former ways, and has read an unconditional recantation, beiug now as violent on one side as he formerly was on the other. Mr. BOURKE, the nephew and heir presumptive of the Earl of MAYO, who like Mr. MONSELL was a prominent member of the Irish party, although an ultra-Tory, i 3 the rival candidate. In Kilkenny four Repealers have started, and the gentleman who comes forward as a Conservative Repealer, Mr. HELY, as yet is in a majority, and a close contest is maintained between Mr. P. S. BUTLER, the famous Repeal Member (who strangely enough grounds his claims to the suffrages of the electors on the fact that at least fifty of his family have from time to time suffered the extreme penalty of the law under the hangman's hands) ; and Mr. GREENE, nephew to Mr. GROGAN MORGAN, the Member for Wexford, who formerly held a commis sion in a dragoon regiment. Mr. GREENE has only recently been. an avowed Repealer, but we believe, from his earliest boyhood, he has been a consistent Liberal, and that it was the fact of his connexion with the service which alone prevented him from declaring his opinions on the repeal question at an earlier period.

Morning.. 59 minutes after 5. j Evening .. IS minntcs liter 6 It is scarcely necessary to cite additional instances. We shall only adduce one case more, that of Youghal, where Mr. CUISUOLII ANSTY, the Repeal candidate, owed his success, in a great degree, to the course adopted by the Conservative electors. Strange as these things may appear, the line of argument used by the ultra-Tory press is not less striking. They speak of the advance of Repeal doctrines. They do not claim the returns for Clare and Limerick as triumphs for their own party, but a isert that they furnish decided proof of the progress of Repeal, although in the first Sir Lucius O'BRIEN, an avowed Conserva tive, is substituted for Mr. C. O'BRIEN, and in the latter Mr. MONSELL for Mr. CALEB POWELL, the victorious candidates being at least nominal Conservatives, while the rejected ones have long been members of Conci liation Hall, and were supported with all its influ ence. Again, the honesty and sincerity of Mr. SMITII O'BRIEN and the Young Irelanders are spoken of in laudatory terms in the same journal. This will afford the only probable solution to the difficulty. The Tories are anxious to embarrass the Government, tr) prevent the measures for the benefit of Ireland that are contemplated from passing into a law. They care not by what means their object is achieved, provided they can succeed in so doing. Hence Repealers are preferred to \\ higs. They desire that it should be believed that a great accession of strength has been gained by that party, in order that Govern ment may be induced to seek assistance at their hands, and to retrace their footsteps in the path of liberality. They are, however, greatly mistaken in this opinion. Her MAJESTY'S Ministers are too sincere in their determination to improve the condi tion of Ireland to suffer it again to be placed in the hands of the faction to whose misgovernment its chief evils are ascribable, to fall into such a trap. They will proceed in their honourable course, well assured that they deserve, and will ultimately obtain, the grateful thanks and the cordial support of the Irish people. We are rejoiced to find that Lord PALMERSTON is following up the Greek defaulting Government with proper spirit. bine Augsburg- Gazette has the following from Ancona, dated the sth : "It was hoped at Athens that Sir E. Lyons would grant a respite to the Government after receiving the i,ooo/. th at he had called for. This hope was ill t p ounded. It is now known that he has demanded the 196,0001. of 1844." Madrid papers of the 11 th have arrived. It is said the Senor PACIIECO has declared that he will retire from office unless a reconciliation takes place between the QUEEN and her husband. In the event of his retiring SALAMANCA Would be called on to form a Cabinet. An authorisation has been granted to General LINAGE, the friend and aide-de-camp of EsPAuTcuo, to reside in Madrid. The Barcelona mail did not arrive in Madrid on the 10th, as it had been stopped by some of the Car list bands, which swarm in Catalonia. The Carlists have taken the town of Alcovar, and held possession of it when the last accounts were received. Letters from Corunna state that Carlist bands have appeared in the neighbourhood of that city, and that others are expected to enter Galicia from Portugal. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 11.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26i for cash; the Five per Cents. 17i ; and the Coupons at 15. We have received such of the Paris papers as were published :on Monday, but it being the_Feast of the Assumption none of the Legitimatist or Ministerial papers appeared on that day. In an article on the affairs of Italy, the National denounces the occupa tion of Ferrara by the Austrians as an infringement of the Treaty of Vienna, an invasion of Italy by Austria of a similar nature to that against which France declared in 1831, and to prevent which she occupies Ancona, and appeals to the Government of France to demand from INLIETTERNICH the recal of the Austrian troops or to come forward to the assist ance of the Government of Rome. " But," it adds, " this appeal is in vain. We know it well. The only effect produced on you (the Government), by the events at Ferrara will be to cause you once more to change your language and your conduct. It is scarcely a month since your diplomatists were con spiring against the Liberals and the POPE, with the Austrian Ambassador, the Jesuits, and the Gregorian Cardinals. A speech from Lord PALMERSTON and an article in the Times then caused you uneasiness, and you deserted the flag of the retrogrades to run after the moderates. At present Austria holds the most energetic language, and you will consequently return to Austria. Such were you yesterday—such are you at present—and such you will be. 111-advises must those be who pay any attention to your words or to your promises. After deceptive illu sions comes cruel disappointment. Let this be known at Rome if it have not reached there already." The National is' right—the appeal to the French Government is in vain. The national interests of France are on every occasion sacrificed unhesitatingly to the personal interests of the dynasty, and Austria will be permitted, without protest, nay, even if need be, aided in crushing the cause of liberty and pro gress in Switzerland and Italy, and thus inclosing France in a net work of absolutism, as the price of her connivance at the intrigues which are in progress to enable a Prince of the house of Orleans to usurp the throne of Spain. We are rejoiced to find, how ever, that the French people are at length beginning to awaken from their lethargy, and that although the French Government may continue to repudiate its origin, by pursuing a counter-revolutionary policy, that the French nation is prepared to act in such a manner as shall prove that the people do not share in the feelings of, and ought not to be confounded with, their rulers. Notwithstanding the aid the French Government is prepared to render to Austria and the Jesuits in Switzerland, the French people are deter mined to assist the Swiss Liberals in their defence of the cause of nationality, freedom, and progress. The Mouche of Macon announces the formation of Swiss committees in Paris, Lyons, Bourg, Besanyon, Strasburg, and Grenoble, on the plan of the Polish committees. In case war be provoked by Austria or Piedmont, those committees will give the aid of re volutionary France to Switzerland, which they regard as the representative of the cause of the people. " If," says the Mouche, " Poland is too distant to be succoured except by good wishes, Switzerland is at our gates ; it is the interest of France of July not to suffer herself to be inclosed in a net which absolutism is weaving around her. The French people ought to surround themselves by free nations who can sympa thise with her, and we trust that regenerated Swit zerland will no longer supply despots with satellites for bire." The Opposition journals continue to bring charges of corruption against the Ministry with greater bold ness than ever. The Courtier Franfais thus con cludes an article on this subject :—" The Ministry make a mockery of the law. Does not the law make it a duty for it to prosecute a journal that accuses it? Let us see whether it will prosecute the Courtier Francais." If the Ministry refuse to accept this challenge it will be a plea of guilty to all the charges of corrup. tion that have been brought against it. But there is a power mightier than the power of the Ministry, which forbids inquiry into these matters. "In the last session," says the National, ‘4 General TUzasL• cmpllatioally. declared that. he would place hitllti self at the head of the crusade against peculators and corruptionists. Poor man ! he really and seriously believed in the independence of his position as Minister. He had not taken into his calculation that occult power which bears with •such weight on the Ministries of War and of Marine more especially." After reading this article, we cease to wonder at the corruption which pervades the whole administrative system of France. We find the following in the Constitutionnel on the subject of the Haytian loan " During the last fortnight that M. Levasseur, Consul- General of Hayti, has been in Paris, conferences have been going on at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs, with the Charge d'Affaire of the republic. We have already stated that thirty-three thousand French creditors, whether on the score of indemnity or as bearers of de bentures of the loan furnished to the Government of Hayti, on the recommendation of our Government, are interested in learning the arrangement entered into, and the conditions agreed on for carrying it out. May it not be, for instance, with a view to throw back as far as possible this execution, that are to be attributed the unfavourable news lately given by some of the United States journals relative to the harvest, the finances, in a word, the present situation of Hayti, contrary to what was hoped for the speedy payment of a part of the debt due by that republic to France?"

TEE BOEJESMANS, OR BUSII PEOPLE, AT TILE EGYPTIAN HALL.—For several days past the eldt r Bushman has been exhibiting signs of great moroseness and stubbornness, and with difficulty could be got to move. However, whilst Mr. Tyler was on Friday last endeavouring to induce the savage to go through the dance he turned suddenly round and bit him in the hand. At first the pain was severely acute, but by the administration of an external application the irritation was allayed. Mr. Tyler continues to suffer at times from the brutal act of this South African bushranger. Amongst the visitors of the week were Jenny Lind, Thalberg, Grisi, Mario, Lord Cantalupe, Lord Ossul ston, Viscount Combermere, Mr. G. Thompson, M.P., Mr. Villiers, Col. Stuart, &c. &c.

' CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cottton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very steady. Sales 2,500 bales, of which 2,400 were Ameri can, at 60. to 74d. per lb. Railway Shares continued in a depressed state, owing to the less favourable report from London. There are no later ship arrivals to-day with news of interest, nor can we expect yet any steamer from America. The Washington will probably be the next. In Mark-lane, this morning, Corn is steady at about Monday's rates ; and the rains that have fallen, are not considered to be prejudicial to the corn, while the green crops are likely to be greatly benefitted. Exertions are making in the City to establish a systemlof steam communication with India and Aus tralia, under the auspices of many of our leading men. In enforcement of the proposal it is stated that India, Australia, China, and the adjacent regions contain a population of more than half the number of the inha bitants of the globe; and teem with every product which can minister to the wants of man. Whatever brings their varied commercial resources into rapid and cheap com munication with the energy, skill, and capital of Western Europe must be highly beneficial, and contribute to the wealth, civilization, and happiness of the world. " To carry out effectually and economically steam communication with these countries is the object of this company, for whose operations there is an ample and profitable field, irrespective of an existing interest, espe cially as regards our numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacifb, which have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England, are the only portions of the British empire un connected by steam navigation with the parent State, and for which a charter by the overland route has been exclusively granted to this company. " The importance to Great Britain of steam communi cation with India cannot be too highly appreciated. b m y e rtchi the I v a e n r d . l d a o n m d e e s n ti u c rr te c , ° wh e ich regulates th e mercan til e t ransac ti ons w a a s r d c e o d m All our public p d o is n p d a e t u c ce he , s, be e singwfeo l r i between Europe and Asia, and which will ultimately constitute the personal communication with Australia. " Important, however, as is this route to Great Bri trian, many of the European nations consider that it promises to be of still greater consequence to them, for it has already given the facility of acquiring accurate in formation of our Indian possessions, and the knowledge thus acquired has excited their merchants to watch with attention for any opportunity which will enable them to participate in the trade of the east. "Should Great Britain be engaged in war with any European power, every attempt would doubtless be made to interrupt our communication with India, &c , through the Mediterranean ; and should any such interruption take place, it might seriously affect the security of our Eastern possessions. On the other hand, the introduc tion of additional steam communication would prove of inestimable importance to Great Britain, by affording the means of transporting her warlike forces and stores from Europe to Asia, or from Asia to Europe, with the greatest possible celerity ; and a rapid means of inter course between India an Europe, by either the Red Sea and Egypt, or by the Persian Gulf and Syria, would multiply the resources of Great Britain, and secure the defences of her distant territories. " If a line was drawn along the route from London to Australia it would be found to pass through many of the richest and most populous countries of the world ; the production of articles at each end and along the line which are consumed throughout its whole extent is very great, and at no distant periods depots for trade will probably be established, and if not formed by Great Britain will be occupied by foreigners • it is, therefore, self evident th a t B r itish capital and skill ought to be devoted without delay to pre-occupy this channel for employment. " It only remains to state, that British interests impe ratively require an additional service of colonial steamers between England, Gibraltar, Malta, and the East of Europe, as also in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, which should carry passengers and merchandise at the lowest possible rates consistent with comfort, se curity, and dispatch." The Public Securities have recovered a little from the depression of yesterday, and fluctuated merely from the turn of the market. There has been no further pressure of money stock on the market. Consols have realised 861 to 87 for Transfer, and 86-1, to 87k for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 2s. discount to ls. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 88i to 89. There has been a report in circulation of another attempt having been made upon the life of Louis . Phillippe, but the same story was about late yesterday atternoon, and if correct would have been confirmed ere this. In Foreign. Stocks speculation is exceedingly passive. Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 20 to 21, and Mexican have been quoted 181_; Grenada are 191 ; and Mitch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 55i to 56.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. S. F. RAMSEY, MINISTER OF ST. MICHAEL'S, STRAND.—The parishio ners of St. Alt - ..rtin's-in the-Fields, and other friends of Mr. Ramsey, assembled in the vestry-room of that parish yesterday, to present to that gentleman a testimonial of their high esteem for his character, and their detestation of the attack which recently, by Mr. Ramsey's manly conduct in openly vindicating his innocence, met so signal a defeat in the Court of Queen's Bench. Imme diately after the trial his friends entered into a sub scription with this result, that the whole of the costs of trial (6001.) have been paid, and a surplus accrued suf ficient to purchase a very handsome silver vase, which, with a purse of 230 sovereigns, was yesterday presented to the Rev. Gentleman by the Rev. Sir 11. Dukinfield, Bart., vicar, in the presence of a crowded meeting of the most distinguished parishioners and their families.

CORN EXCHANGE.-WEDNESDAY A very limited quantity of English Wheat has come to hand since Monday. To-day, scarcely any samples were on offer - ; and we havo to report a steady, though not to say brisk, demand fur most descriptions, at very full prices. There was rather more inquiry for the best foreign Wheats, at fully previous quotations ; but the middling and inferior kinds were quite neglec. ed. Barley, though in short supply, was very dull, at barely late figures. In Malt next to nothing was doing ; in prices, however, we have no alteratio❑ to notice. The imports of foreign Oats having been very extensive, the trade ruled dull, at a fall in value of quite 6d per quarter.

Efforts have been commenced among the bene volent and enterprising inhabitants of the metropolis to afford some testimony of the estimation in which the character of the late JORDAN ROCHE LYNCH. M.D., was held among his fellow citizens. It is well that a mark of gratitude should be spontaneously af forded to the survivors of a man so exemplary in his private relations and so eminently deserving in his public activity. It is well, inasmuch as it evinces a capacity on the part of the general community to ap preciate its true benefactors; and it is especially well, as it forms a species of encouragement to those who disregard their own individual advantages in the ardour with which they strive to benefit the entire population. Not that we would, by any means, imply the possibility of such movements a. this in behalf of the widow and children of Dr. L YNCH , i n f us i ng any sor did and self interested m o ti ves i n t o th e h earts o f unaffected philanthropists. That their own disposition would render im practicable . B ut t h e or i g i nation of such subscriptions as this, in behalf of the relict of a mat, who was beginning to distinguish himself among the most prominent of the agitators in favour of sanitary improvement, will necessarily be an encouragement to those who might otherwise be deterred from devoting themselves to the public service, from a fear of some disastrous consequences ensuing therefrom to their nearest and dearest. At the interesting meeting, which was convened judiciously ed yesterday in the London Coffee-house, g the first resolution was veryte hill, the and appropriately confided to the eloquence of the most eminent authority and advocate of the establishment of a sanitary code. Without disparaging the labours or the enthusiasm of his colleagues in the cause of this important reform, we conceive ourselves to be fully justified in giving priority to the name of SorTnwooo SatlTli, M.D. He has assumed, indeed, a position so distinguished among the various advocates of a sanitary system, that he might be particularised by a title indicative of his prominence : as RICHARD COBDEN is called the Apostle of Free Trade, and as TnnonanD MA THEW is termed the Apostle of Temperance, SOUTH WOOD SMITH might, with equal justice, be designated the Apostle of Sanitary Improvement. To the Apostle of Sanitary:lmprovement, therefore, to Dr. SOUTH WOOD SMITH was confided the first resolution at the meeting assembled in aid of the bereaved widow of the late Dr. J. R. LYNCH. And the purport of that resolution was that the deceased physician , having devoted himself for a considerable period with an extraordinary, degr ee of ardour and perseverance to , the development of means for the prevention of disease, and to the im provement of the condition of the labouring popula tion," and having, in the course of these gratuitous exertions for the amelioration of the miseries and maladies of his fellow-creatures contracted a disease which terminated in his own untimely dissolution, it is considered advisable that a public subscription should be raised for a widow and children totally un provided for, as an acknowledgment of his " extra professional, extraordinary, and important public services." Of itself this would be a sufficient and impressive appeal to tile impulses of th e comm more generous unity ; but coupled with the touching descriptions and illustrations of Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH it is altogether irresistible. It was a mournful and moving truth which was uttered by this emi nen t physiologist, when he I observed that " of all the professions, the members of English ......

INSO EVENT COURT-( THIS DAY) Mr. Commissioner Law sat to-day for the disposal o bail cases, being the first day in the vacation. THE NEW BUSINESS. His HoNoun, in the course of the morning, in alluding to the new business about to be introduced, took occa sion to remark on the importance of having correct proceedings filed, lest they should be rejected on the hearing. It was but charity to mention, that it was essential that the documents should be correct when filed, and it was not charity to mention their incorrect ness only on the hearing, when they would be rejected. He would, therefore, impress on the practitioners the necessity of pains in the preparation of the documents to be filed in the Court. Tho Learned Commissioner referred to petitions under the Acts now administered by the Court of Bankruptcy, in which no alterations can be made after they are filed IN RE THOMAS BARWICK CORBETT. This insolvent, an inmate of Bristol gaol, applied to be admitted to bail until his hearing before the Judge of the County Court at that place, under the new Act (10 and 11 Vict., c. 10:2). The insolvent was the owner of a trading vessel. He had made over his vessel and other property to his wife's sister, and now wished to be discharged till his hearing. His HONOUR said, that a person who had made over all he possessed to a relation was not to be discharged without inquiry, and he found by the schedule enough to satisfy him that it was not a case for bail. Bail rejected. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.' OLD COURT. THE FATAL DUEL AT CAMDEN-TOWN. On the arrival of Mr. Justice Erle, Alexander Thom son Munro, described in the calendar as a gentleman, aged 43, and as standing indicted for the wilful murder of David Lynar Fawcett, was placed at the bar. In the early part of the morning he was arraigned on the charge, and pleaded " not guilty." The Earl of Arundel and Surrey, the Earl of March, the Marquis of Anglesey, and other distinguished indi viduals, were on the bench. The Attorney-General, with whom were Mr War rington and Mr. Clarke, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarkson for the prisoner. The prisoner is a tall, military-looking man. He was dressed in black, and wore a formidable pair of mous tachios. It will be recollected that the duel took place so far back as the Ist of July, 1843, in the parish of St. Mary, Islington ; that the unfortunate deceased was wounded in the right breast, and that he died two or three days after. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it now became his duty, as public prosecutor, to state the case against the prisoner. The very mention of the name of Lieutenant- Colonel Munro and Colonel Fawcett brought fresh to the recollection the unfortunate circumstances of this un happy case, because at the time it occurred it was fully discussed in the public prints ; but he besought the jury to dismiss from their minds all they had heard with respect to the case. Lieutenant Munro was a gen tleman of distinguished talent and honour. He had raised himself, by merit, from the ranks to the post he had held in the household troops. The unfortunate de ceased was also a distinguished man, and had bee❑ raised to the position of lieutenant-colonel, by brevet. They had married two sisters. He would not speculate upon the circumstances which had led to the unfortu nate quarrel between them. It appeared that they met in a field, in the neighbourhood of Camden-town ; that they exchanged shots, that Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett received a wound, and that he died in consequence of it on the following Monday. The evidence he should pro duce would clearly bring home the charge to the gentle man who stood before them. He should produce the second of Colonel Fawcett, who would prove that he saw the prisoner level the deadly weapon at the de ceased. The law was clear on the subject, and did not permit a man in the cool moments of reason to destroy the life of a fellow-being in this way with impunity ; but it was for them to say whether they could acquit him of the charge with honour. The following witnesses were then called : Mr. Thomas Gulliver, the surgeon to the Horse Guards (Blue), in which the prisoner held a lieu tenancy, said, that early on the morning of the Ist of July, 1843, whilst the regiment was lying at the Regent's-park Barracks, Lieut. Munro came to his room and asked him to act as surgeon in a duel which was to take place between himself and Colonel Fawcett that morning. He at first declined; but afterwards assented, and got up, and dressed himself, and accompanied Lieut. Munro, in his carriage, to the back of the Brecknock Arms. He had told him that he had a quarrel with Lieut.-Col. Fawcett about a house which he had en trusted him to sell, but with the disposal of which he was dissatisfied. They arrived in the field at half-past five. Shortly after they arrived, Colonel Fawcett, a gentleman named Grant, and a gentleman who had been in the army also arrived. They all went a short distance to another field. Whilst he was walking along the Tottenham-road, Lieutenant Munro shouted to him to join them, and he jumped over the paling and did so. They all moved to another part of the field, and he turned his back upon the part), and about a minute after he heard the report of a pistol, followed by a shout for. him to come up to them. He did so. Lieut.-Colonel Fawcett was lying on the grass, and Lieut. Munro was standing by him. He said something to the effect that Colonel Fawcett had been levelling at him; but Colonel Fawcett said he did not. Colonel Fawcett afterwards said it was an acci dent. He said this to the policeman about half an hour after. Colonel Fawcett and Lieut. Munro shook hands, and Lieut. Munro left, and he (witness) remained with Colonel Fawcett, whom he found wounded on the left side of the chest, and likely to die. He was taken to the Breckn( ek Arms, where they refused him admission, and he was taken to another house. Saw him after. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Lieut. Munro had been about twenty years in the regiment. Was present at the trial of Lieutenant Cuddy and Lieutenant Grant, the prisoner's seconds. They were both acquitted. He thought that Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett would have died upon the spot; he rallied, however, when he lifted him up. The examination of the wound showed that Lieutenant Munro must have had his arm elevated when he fired. The skin was drawn up. The regiment was to leave that morning When he declined to attend, Lieutenant Munro implored him :to attend, and said he had been harshly used. lie asked me to stand by him in such an extremity. He said he (witness) might be of use to him; but he did not exactly say what he wanted me to do. He said, however, that the slightest apology would satisfy him. A more kindly disposed man never existed, and he was the last man that would seek a quarrel. From his conversation and conduct he seemed the least likely man to seek the injury of another. The prisoner's fattier had been in the army, and had also risen from the ranks. He was not a mau of fortune. He had the reputation of an honourable officer, and there was no man more humane. He was married, and had six children, all of whom, he believed, were daugh ters. He had lost his commission by his abserce, and it was worth from 2,0001. to 3,0001., and in consequence he had been reduced to great indigence. By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Believed he had left the country immediately atter. He had not seen him since. Charles Longman, a private in the Dragoons, said he recoil. cted Saturday, the Ist of July. He drove Lieut. Munro's carriage to the Brecknock Arms. Dr. Gulliver was with him. There was a carriage and a cab there. The parties, after a short sojourn, went into a field, and soon after he heard the report of a pistol. Lieutenant Munro came back to him in a quarter of an hour or twenty minuti.s. Drove him to the barracks, but he did not go in. The regiment went to Knightsbridge. Did not see him there. _ _ By Mr. CLARKSON—Never had a better master. He was humane, mild, and kind. Captain Cuddy, captain in the 55th Foot, was next examined. lie said Colonel Fawcett was a lieutenant colonel in that regiment. He had served with him in China and other parts of the world. On the Friday before the duel a communication took place:between him and Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, who informed him that a gentleman would call upon him at the United Service Club. A person, named Grant, called upon him, and again the same night, and a meeting was arranged to take place between Colonel Fawcett and Lieut. Munro. Colonel Fawcett called upon him between four and five o'clock on the Saturday morning. Went with him to the Brecknock Arms, and in the way they called at the lodgings of Mr. Grant, who drove to the place with them in his own conveyance. Saw there two persons, whom he understood to be Lieutenant Munro and Mr. Gulliver. He could not swear that Lieutenant Munro was one of the persons ; he believed him to be the same person, and that Mr. Gulliver was the other person. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL—What took place? W it uni-4 decliiw to auswer, as that may crimiumo me, The ATTOIcNitY-GriNERAL-1 pradtwo pardon, signed by her Msjesty, an d to which thethe e gro ou ow. seal is attached, which will absolve yrom ° sequences.

Captain Cuddy bowed. Mr. CLARKSON inquired if Captain Cudd y even under these circumstances, bou nd to a nswer tow question ? Mr. Justice ERLE considered :that he ought to ang/ ver . it. The instrument absolved him from the consequeneseisi. Examination resumed—Dr. Gulliver and LieutSlacti Munro entered a field. We went further down. 1 . 11 s tol a case of pistols.
