Louisa Calderon was called, and exatnined. Her appearance was extremely interesting, and her coun tenance, which was'that of a Mulatto, extremely pre-possessing and agreeable., She seemed about sixteen. She gave her evidence in Spanish. She said she *as in - Trinidad in the year 1798, and was acquainted with a person of the name of Pedro Louis, in whose house she lived. She was with him at the time General PiEton was Governor—remembered a robbery having beeri coMmitted in, the house of Pe dro Louis, of which a peTSOII, named Carlos Gon zales., was suspended. Re was taken 'up, and the -witness and her mother were likewise taken up'the same night. She was carried in the first instance before General PiEton, who ordered her to be COP- ZuEted to prison. She was sent under the •guatirof 'three soldiers, and committed to close confinement. General Pieton told her, that -if she did not confess who had taken the money the-hangman should put his hand upon her. Witness knew a man of the name of Bemiara ; he was an Akald, or Justice. He came to her in the prison, and examined her fre •quently on-the subject of the robbery ; there was a .person named De Castro,, an Ecrivano, or Clerk, present. - It was a room on the woman's side of the Prison. She was afterwards carried to a room where there was a picket ere&ed. -Mr. GARROW.—What was the nature of that in strument of torture—can you give an account in English ?—A. Yes, Sir. • This hand • (holding out her left) was tied up so - (raising her left hand, and 'stretching her body) ; - -then this hand (the right) and this foot (passing the left foot behind the right leg) - were tied together. They put me first on one side, and then on the osher. Q. The first time they tied you up, they tied you by the left hand ?—A. Yes. Q. And the left foot tied to thoright hand ?—A. •Yes, the tight. , Q. Then the left hand was tied by a lope ?—A. Yes. • Q. Was that rope fixed to the cieling, or made fast to a pulley ?—A. A pulley. Q. What was your right foot put on ?—A. On a picket, in this wanner (describing it by her attitude) the- . toe resting on the sharp part of the wood. • Q. Is this a thithful description (sheaving her a 'coloured drawing) Yes, Sir. Q. Can you tell how long you might remain in this situation ?—A. Three quarters of an hour. • Q. Were you allowed to rest on the spike of wood lI the time ?—A. Yes, Sir. Q. Were you at any time drawn up by the rope, so as to•be suspended ?—A. Yes, Sir. a. Had you seen any person placed in the same situation ?—A. Yes. Q. How many !—A. Two. ' [The Witness then proceeded to describe the ef fed produced by the torture. She felt a heavy pain, and her wrists and feet were very much swelled. She was afterwards taken to a room carted the Gaol er's Room, and from thence brought back to the room where she had been suspended, and there kept • all night in irons.] a. Describe the gritto, ot fetters, you were con fined with ?—A. It is a piece of wood with a hole below it, and an iron bar that .runs through it. Q. Were you fixed to that iron bar ?—A. Yes, all the same night. Q. How were you fixed?.---A. - The bar was made fast to my legs with iron rings. Q. Did you remain fastened to this all night ? A. All night. , Q. Were you put on the picket again next day ? • —A. Yes. Q. Were you put on the same instrument of tor ture, and in the same manner as the day before ? A. The very same. Q. How long were you kept on the instrument of torture ?--A. Twenty-two minutes. Q. Was there a watch plaCed in order to tell the • time ?—A. Yes. - Q. Who were present ?—A. Mr. Beggara, the Justice, De Castro, the Ecrivano, Signor Rafael, the Alguazil, and the Executioner. Q. What arin was you tied up by the second day? By the two arms. Q: One at a time Yes; - first - one, then changed to the other. Q. Were -you drawn up by the rope the , second day, so ,as to remove your feet from the spike ?—A. Yes, I could just touch it with the point of the toe. - Q: Were your shoes taken- off both days ? A. Yes. Q. Your feet naked ?—A. Yes. -• . Q. What•effea did this produce the second day ? I fainted away. The witness went on to describe the rest of her sufferings. She stated, that she remained eight. Months in the prison, during the whole of which time she was kept in irons. She said .Colonel Ful larton arrived at , the Island after she was liberated. She came ovelr to-Englund with Colonel Fullarton,. and had been since supported by Mr. White, at the charge of the British Government. Signor Rafael, the Alguazil, supported the whole of Louisa's testimony. He first saw her when she was taken down from the picket, and they were giving - he r a glass of wine and water. After nearly the same evidence as the girl, he added that the room in which she was ironed for eight months by the legs, wins so low that it would not admit ot her sitting erect, but she was obliged to crouch , down. He described the operation of the torture, and said, Louisa Calderon 'fainted twice in his arms. It appeared to him: she could not have endured it much longer withotit dan ger to her life. There was no surgeon present to take care of her-in case of accident. He said, that at the end of eight months Carlos Gonzales was or dered to pay a scam of money, and was banished, and Louisa was set at liberty.. -Don Juan Montez proved the hand-writing of Go vernor Pi&on to the order for intlitling the torture. It was in Spanish, and ran thus— " Applique/ la questioue a Louis; Calderon; i. e. apply the torture to Louisa Calderon. (Signcd) " THOMAS PICTON." It appeared that this order was written at the bot tom of a requisition by Beggara, stating that Louisa Calderon had prevaricated in her account of the robbery ; that Beggara was persuaded she would dis cover the truth by means of a slight torment, but that he was not invested with power to inflict it, and there-, fore praying his Excellency. to order The same. The witness stated, that he never knew torture inflicted in the Island of Trinidad till General Piton arrived LUND () rint,lt 13 . y R CHAR 9HA RR'S, of No, 4, Maffirt.court, row-street; arti'l'uslist. 6 (tb) WlLLiwm AR t FR - SCR IF PS, Or South Morton.striter, Urosveresse ne d r-squesic ; At the SuN-01.FloE, No. 1 12,, Strand where Advertis2nienis °niers for the rater, - Letters for the Edior,•&c. fbo e st-paid), mug b add. .- . , there. , flenevee heard there WIC any instrument of.a bad been employed by Col: vuliattim. here toucan- Y torture.

A Court of competent ..took possession of Trinidad coo years ago,, did not.' .jurisdiction had taken this young woman up, had . appeere it might have, laws for the Colonies die examined her by the rules of their law, had deter- rent -from those of, the Mother.

Daeeaa said lie should 'rove for a new trial, law, &c. He contended that the ' Defendant ,in s on the ground of,the propositions. he had-stated, this. case, General Pion, was entitled to his ac- . quhtal, on • several grounds :—First, That by the law of S-paiu,. which the General. was boiled to ad minister, torture was applicable •in a particular- in stance : if he could shew that, there would be art end •of this indiament, because every count. in. it .charged that this was unlawfully done. The .(,)4 i I ground was (for God forbid that: Gen. Piadn's de- 1 fence should rest alone'upon'the first), that the indiCt ment in this case charges the application of torture in a particular instance, without .any. inference of its being done miliciously, or without probable cause. . . - • Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, 'that this was an untenable proposition ; for that if a thing 4 dune in the way of a crime, and that thing he ustialigut, it is in Law supposed to be maliciously done—no specific -proof of malice was necessary in the arse of a crime; the malice was an 'inference, of law arising out-of :the a& ; this had been held in the case of the Ic.ing and the Justices of Cumberland, who had ae - ted , bonafule, . and under the advice of -a very eminent Gentleman , at the bar ; yet as that happened to be an erroneous : opinion, their coati& was held illegal, and there -fore, by inference of law, malicious, although it re duced the punishment to nothing. . . Mr. DALLAS' continued—The third ground of obje&ion was, That supposing the Jury to be, of . opinion, that by the Laws of Spain torture ought not to be infliaed, still that General Pieton was nits led by the advice of others, - and by books treating ; of the Law of Spain, into a misconception of the '. law, and therefore his was a case .in which an- in-. diament will not lye''; for that an erroneous opinion .. formed under judicial authority, is a complete answer, to any indidment against a person a&ing in e Judi , : cial charaaer. , Under all these different heads, he argued' that Gen. Piston was entitled to his acquittal:: Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" There may be ,slips in the condu & of the Governor of a great Settlement: which should not be taken advantage of, when he acts` . bona fide : but the cause will be tried fairly ; if he has inffiaed torture without the authority of the : law, he ought to be punished for it ; if it isaorture . infliaed by the authority of the law, he ought to go free, however our feelings may revolt at the fact." A Vast number of written documents were then read, and depositions of witnesses from the Island. of Trinidad, and many witnesses examined-upon the pradice of the law in Trinidad ; but none of theM- - knew of any instance of torture having been pradtised . there, nor of any such thing as the instrument of . torture being seen, until the Defendant became its Governor ; and the first instance was in the picket ing of some soldiers, and, the instance in queatiOn was the second. ' , Mre ARCHIBALD GLOSTER, who had been Attor- . ney-General of the Island, gave an account of cer tain books, called by several titles—the Curia, Phi lipica, Ellizondo, Robadilia, Patricia, and its Grego- than Glossary, Colone, &c. from. all which extraas, were read, and in which it appeared that torture ~ may be used by the laws of Spain; but none of them gave an account of thcalaws of the Colonies of Spain, which were alledged to, be different, in many respects,' end totally so with -regard to torture, from that of the Mother Country. . • It- was then proposed by. Ny Lord 1,1-E NBO ROUGH,. :that this case be turned . into a Special Verdia, and acquiesced in by all parties ; but agreed that they should proceed to ascertain, and get 1,11)Q11' bis.. Lordship's notes as many of the fay s as possible as to the law of Trinidad ; to the course of which ' there was a great difference - of evidence as to the fads ; several witnesses swearing that none of the old laws of the mother country was applicableth the Colonies : and one Gentleman, who was a Spa nish Advocate, who had come from Trinidad, and' . . . - It .is said to be in contemplation to establiii; a Police7-oiliN at Woolwich, ilk soiksegnence of.-.the ,klcreased population, and the vast- numbefof chili pry in the neighbourhood. , .r:. The folio - wing ruelanch:)ly accident happened on Wednesday-eveninglast,,MNonhfleetcree4s.. What ", is; termed a short Yerry-boat_plyed a Gravesend. Pas sage-boat (the Putwell Packet), that was.becalmed, to take .its.lpasseragers ashore, when a quan.qty chests and'other stores were put . ipto hpr buttorn, and tWenty.. : three passengers, mostly seamen, and one woman, eagerly leaped:into. the boat, to the exclution of many others, who were .eager likewise ' to leave the Packet ; they dire&ed the waterman to row them to the Neptune East Indiaman lying near - half .a mile lower down. They bad got but a small distance 74.vben a leak was discovered ; springing from their seats suddenly, the boat swamped, and all was upset. The • cries of- the, distressed reached the India Arms, at Northfleet, but the night being, unusually dark, no 'assistance could be given from thence ; but eleven were picked up by row-boats who were near them, and two by expert swimming and wading through the mud saved themselves, so that elevenmen and one woman perished from the \vatennan's imprudence in taking in too many pas- sengers. A most unfortunate accident happened on Satur day morning to a child of Mr. Somerville, Clerk at the Minerva Office, sleeping with his father • a pan was incautiously placed close to the side of die bed,' into which the infant, only ; ten months old, crawled, and notwitbStanding oflly a pint of water was on the bottom, ,it precipitated itself into it, and Was . stand) , sutfecated, though medical ;lid was procured in less than ten minutes. • On Wednesday afteriaoon, Charkes Ferraby, of Hull, mariner, about 22 years of age, hanged him self upon the iron work of the slough at the out-fall upon the Humber-bank, near the Lime-kilns ; and, notwithstanding' the public situation which he had chosen to effed his melancholy purpose, he was quite dead • before he was discovered ; although his . body was, still warm. A Coroner's inquest was held on Thursday, when it appearing•io the satisfadion of the ,T.ury. that the deceased had for some time ma nifested signs . of insanity, a verdict was given of A cask of More-than moderate dimensions which had been but recently ereaed in Mr..Cliapman's Brewery at Brighton, for the first time, to , season it, was filled with water, on Saturday last. Soon after this business had been accomplished, arid for which the pumps had been at Work for some hourS, the cask being too weakly construaed to - bear the immense weight of the liquid ,it contained, the bottom sprang, and the torrent Which gushed from , •it instantly. inundated , all. adjoining parts, and overflowed the vaults - The brewers, thus taken by surprtze, were in an awkward predicament, some of them being literally compelled to swim for their lives. •, /J4llll On Sunday, in Saaville-street, the Lady of Hubert Ten ner, Esq.

Thompson, (who received so great a cure" by them here), to take your Leakc's Patent Pills, which 1 began to do on the a6th of May ; in the course of a fortnight, 1 began to receive benetit--in little inure than a month, the ulcers on' nay herd • and arms were soundly healed—soon atter, the sores on my legs healed also; leaving, however, consaterable discolouration in -the skin, and, pain in the bone of the left; which, by the 3iesa , sing of God, and a little longer perseverance in your inva luable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersina, the skin regaining its natural hue, sod the nocturnal pains gradually going oft.
