The Trial of this Prisoner finally closed yester day afternoon, at six o'clock, when the Jury re turned a verdict 'of NoT GUILTY._ The circum stances attending the proceedings of yesterday were as follows half-past nine in the morn ing, WATSON was brought into CourtlaCCOM. puttied by those who stood accused, in the same indictment, of a participation in the crime with which he stood charged ; for - having beard the whole of the evidence, it was not thought neces sary' to bring them before the Court to bear the summing up against the prisoner, who was imme diately upon his trial. At ten o'clock, Lord EL, Latinoaouatt and the other Judges took their seats, and the Jury being sworn, the Caste JUS TICE proceeded. His Lordship, we are sorry to observe, appeared by no means in a good state of health. About twelve o'clock he retired from the Bench a short time ; on .4tis return he proceeded to his summing up, and continued till n quarter past three, when .Mr. .Justice BAILEY relieved his Lordship by undertaking to read the remainder of the evidence, which seas chiefly that for the defence. Lord ELLBNnouoUGli then addressed the Jury, retnarkiog upon the whole of the evi dence, and expressing his conviction that. they would conic to a right conclusiou on the general merits of the Case. It was now three quarters past four o'clock. The Jury were about to retire, when Lot d ELLENBOEoUGH observed, that inns meets as they inn.t be considerably fatigued by the length of time they hail oe4n , fitting, and the extreme warmth of the Court, they must he-in t. nut of some retreshment. That refreshment they could have in any shape they chose to name, out they must receive it before they retired from the box, as after they.had retired, I he law could allow them tme, until they had come to an unanimous conclusion of the guilt or innocence of the pri soner. He thought it right to throw this out, as the Chief Justice who presided at the last State Trials at Bar in this Court had adopted a similar course. The Jury thanked his Lordship for Isis kindness, in making* this intiMation, and • ex pressed their desire for some refreshment. By their request, a large jug of tea was then con veyed to their box, together with some sand-; wishes, a bottle of port, another of sherry, some sugar, some water, and glasses ; and after some of them , had refreshed themselves with the tea and sandwiches, and others with wine and water, an Officer of rise, Sheriff, who had the' charge of them during their deliberations, took the follow ing Oath : " You shalt well and truly keep this 3nry, without meat, drink, or fire—you shell stiffer Ito N;hoteve,r to sB,e4k. ttt them, nor you yourself, unless it be to ask them . whether'. they are agreed or not, so help you God." The Jury then retired; and a few mionles after six O'clock (having then deliberated upwards of an hour) they • returned to their box. Their names were immediately called over, and they were asked who was their Foreman. They replied, Mt. RicitanosoN, who came forward, '!'be Officer of the Court then said, " Prisoner, hold up your hand, and listen to your verdict." The Foreman of the Jury, anticipating the issue, question, pro nonnced in a loud voice, NoT GUILTY. WATSON (bowing respectfully towards the Jury, and pot ting his hand to his heart,) said, With great force anti feeling, " Gentlemen, 1 (batik you much." After a short pause, Lord E..LLENSORoUGII• asked the ATTAINEY!GENE-BAL if he had any ntLet charge against the Prisoner ?, The Arroestes-- GENERAL answered, " No, my Lord." Lord 1:A0c/sr:mato/on replied, " Then let' him be 4lis• charged," The Court all the while remained perfectly tranquil. but the windows were Open, and the snood of acquittal had been beard by the, crowd in Westminster Hall. Three loud cheers burst instantaneously, and were re-echoed with increased vehemence and frequent reiteration, by the immense .numbers assembled., In Palace Yard, in Parliament-street, and on tVestminster Bridge. The waving of hats and other demonstrati o ns tosc 7 Ceeded, but nothing that betrayed the least dis position CO riot-. The wish of seeing WaTsoN, now that be was-about to be set free, not only kept the crowd together, but attracted fresh Mul titudes towards the place, lot the news of his ac quittal travelled with inconceivable celerity. The expectations of the public, however, Were disap pointed. At the suggestion of Lord ELLetseo- HoUGH, WATSON retired through a private way, arm in arm with his Solicitor. The Jury also followed the saute route, to avoid the boisterous approbation of the people. The crowd was so great, that even an boor after large bodies still 'remained collected, though multitudes were sees pouring down - all the streets on their return. Warsota, still accompanied by Iris Solicitor, pro ceeded by a: circuitous route to Hatton-garden, where he dined with that Gentleman. On his return be WAS recognized in Holborn by the mob, who, took the horses from his,coach, and dragged the vehicle to the house of in Mr. %VEST, in Vitych- . street, nearly oppositelhe Olympic Theet re. Here he was deposited between nine alld ten o'clock at night. A crowd assembled before the door, and celebrated their triumph, as they called it, by fore ing the hackney coachmen who passed to pull off their hats 3otl shoot ",WATSON for ever." They became' clamorous - to see the object of their rip : . plause, and the call was complied With. lifitTseN . appeared at the window of the first :fluor. Seee rarcandles were thrust out by those who were in the, room, on esch_side of tharthe populace might have a view of his teatores. He bowed re peatettlk, and appeared to thank them :for the in terest, they took in-.his fate.. A.Gentlemen who accoropanieditim briefly expressed WATSoN's' ae kliowkdgernegllti,,but said`" he WAS too IptlCh SUN.OFFCE, ONE STI.PCK. Hooper, Thistlewoc-.1, and Preston, have j.at been discharged in the Court of King's Bench by proclamation, all further proceedings against them being given up. Preston went away by water, and Hooper and Thistlewood were drawn by a number of persons in a Hackney-coach along Whitehall, Charing cross, and the Strand. They have just (11311- past One) passed this Office, attended by an in considerable number of boys anti rabble: We were unable to give more of the 'Trial this day, in consequence of the lateness of the hour at which the determination was announced with re gard to Thibtlewood, Hooper, sad Preston, the cotttin►►ing mail their Cases,were posed of. Ali tiie act:midis from tile disturbed Districts this morning state, they remain in trariquillil y. The Procession, we learn from good anthority, is to depart from Fife House exactly at Haif after Three To-morrow, and proceed by vater to Waterloo Bridge. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Siturday last. They continue to give accounts of disturbances in different quarters 'in consequence of the high price of provisions, but state, that in sonic places the price . bfrain has fallen, and that the markets in the departments of the Seine et Marne and Seine et Oise are abundantly. sur plied. The BILL for continuing the SUSPENSION of the HAUcAS Coitrus ACT received a powerful support in the House of Lord, List night, as Lord GRENVII.Lg, who is by no mean, friendly towards the general system of the present Administration, declared his conviction of the absolute necessity of the measure. • His Lordship clearly, firmly, and de cidedly avowed his full persuaslOn that a combi nation existed in tha Country for purposes of the most alarming kind, and which imposed on the House the duty of speedy and certain prevention. It is proper to observe, that as his Lordship was one of the Lords' Committee of Secresy, who made the Report, he had full opportunity of examining all,the documents, and the experience of the Noble Lord as a Lawyer, a Politician, and a Statesman, must, in the minds of the people Cat large, giie the greatest weight to his opinions and declarations! Shall we then listen to the cavillings and speculative objection 3 of the Opposition, and party-writers, when one of the most learned and experienced states men, and one who is not upon harmonious terms with Ministers, unequivocally acknowledges the dangers of the Country, and his full approbation of the measure intended to avert them, and se cure the safety, the independence, and the hap piness of the Umpire. We therefore exult In re ferring our Readers to the Majority in the House of Lords last night, which was no less than 190 against 50 in favour of the pr9osed measure. `PENZANCE, JUNE 14.—We bad yesterday the severest gale ever remembered at this 'time of the year : it began about three-o'clock in the morn• big, and continued all. day, from S.S.W. to S. S. E. In the evening it shifted to N. W.— During the gale several of oar mackarel fishing boats were seen running for the' harbour; and several were nearly swamped, being almost half full of water, in scudding before the wind ; twO, more unfortunate, were seen to fill and go down with all their crews. Seven poor fellows:in each boat found a watery grave : they have left 37 orphan children to lament their loss. • There ars still boats missing, which, it is hoped, ,have fetched Plymouth, or some port to the Eastward. The Hope, SIMO'N, of and,frum Jersey, parted in Onevas Lake, and ran hit the Pier. The Ann, BEST, from Loot! for Bury, in running for the Pier, fell to leekvtird on tl►e Racks, but, with the assistance of a hawser from the capstan on the Pier.heatt, she was got in with little damage. Z,\"" 1 , 14 N • .e ' Vks - nor "r" 1•40, x.t. '4I IP • s • tigued to address them on the present occasion.'' They then prepared to withdraw, by bidding the mob " Good night." A generatcry of " home," disperse," &e. was then raised, but the crowd continued fora considerable time before the house and to indulge in, the same noisy exultation which had marked their conduct previously to the candle light' exhibition of Mr. WATSON from the wiodow. On Tower-bill, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, a crowd began to assemble in order to see WaTsoet return a condemned traitor, or to receive the intelligence of his acquittal and consequent liberation. Since the hoax played off by Sir I:ll. , ixcis BURDETT, in 1810, such a multi tude had not been seen on.this spot; as bad accu mulated between five and six. The end of Tower street on the Hill, by which the prisoners bad been accustomed to pass',. was the favourite place of rendezvous. On one side the elevation of the foot-path furnishes almost theatrical accommo dation to those who wish to see any object that is expected to - pass by the .road. 'Here the gronpes were must witnerous—and indeed the general mirster took place. It was long before any tidings arrived of WATSON. In the mean rime they were consoled with a view of Thistle - wood, who was walking on' the leads of that part of the fortress, in which be is confined, attended by a Yeoman of the Guard. He rentahred in sight fur an hour or two, and when the mo ment arrived at which it became necessary for him to retire, be bowed repeatedly to the popu lace. No notice was taken of his respectful sa lutation; and just whet' he was about to disap pear, lie bowed.again. One man, and one only, shouted " lluzza!" The crowd were .kept in a state of unpleasant suspense for some time, which,' however, they bore with great patience, and the good and the bad intelligence received in succession excited little emotion ; and neither shouts for the one, nor hisses for the other, were heard from any part of the motley assemblage. At length, at a quarter before eight„ the waving of handkerchiefs from the windows of the houses at the end of Tower-street, most remote front the Hill, indicated the approach of something more than had previously been seen. In a few seconds the coach which had conveyed WATSOAT to %Vest minster was perceived to be on its return, unac companied by the usual escort. Two or•tht ee boys ran before it, shrieking out, '' Walson's acquitted 1" About half as many men and women of the lowest description came with the carriage (which contained only the Yeomen of the Guard.o waving their hats, 'handkerchiefs, and bonnets, ecluOt;• in hoarser tones the cry of the hop iv o had preceded them. A second carriage fol lowed close upon the former, and as it was found WATSON was in ntithecof the two, without was at length set up by the multitude, which lasted se veral minutes. The Guard tit the Tower Gate advanced with fixed bayonets a few yards out on the Hill to re ceive the carriages. These having entered, the soldiers retired. The mOh, after a feeble attempt at another shout, dispersed in all directions, and in hali•an hour the bill was quite clear, with the exception of a few groupes of orators who re mained on the* groUnd to discuss the question on which a Jury has decided in the ease of WATSON, and might yet have. to decide in the cases .of :Thicitievoya, Hooper, and Preston.
