I noticed that the prisoner was quite dressed, ex cept his hat. There is a door to the cellar which communi cates with the street. It was half-past three o'clock when I saw the prisoner run down stairs into the cellar and out at the door. My wife went to get a shirt for the deceased, after I had cleaned him as well as I could, in the kitchen. I then went to fetch a doctor, and returned in five or six minutes. After putting the deceased into another room, I went into that in which the prisoner and the deceased had slept. I found some of the mixture upon the bed, and some in a bucket at the foot of the bed. The mixture upon the bed was just like that which I saw upon Toscani, and think it was the same. The bucket was usually kept in the kitchen ; there was only one fire in the house when I went to bed, and it was in the kitchen, " made up" for lighting in the morn ing. It was smouldering when I left it. At four o'clock in the morning I saw that it had been made up again. I no ticed a little iron pot near the fire, which pot I had left in the scullery with the bucket when I went to bed. There was nothing in the iron pot in the morning, but it was dirty with the same sort of mixture that was upon Toscani. I had cleaned the iron pot the ,night before. The mixture was made of oatmeal. I received a knife that day from Domenic Basini, one of the inmates of the house. I knew the hat the prisoner was accustomed to wear. I saw him run out of the door of the kitchen, without his hat, as fast as any man could run ;he did not return that day. His hat I found on the table, and it has been in my hands since. The deceased was . taken to the Infirmary the same day ; I visited him there, and he always said he thought he should die. He told me, " I have been burned by that Capella ; he has taken my life ; I cannot be cured; lam a dead man." Ido not know whe ther he said this from the great pain he was in, or whether be said it under the impression that he should die. I cannot tell whether he thought he should recover.

Dominico Basini, an Italian, who spoke English. but was examined through the medium of the interpreter, said he' lodged in the house of the last witness. lie anti his wife went to bed about eleven o'clock, and slept in the same room with the prisorier and the deceased. Witness was awoke be tween three and four o'clock in the morning by a great n oise upon the stairs, and the deceased crying out " Capella has scalded me !" Witness went down stairs in about a quarter of an hour or half an hour afterwards. When he got out of bed his feet went into some dirty mixture on the floor, an out with his instrument. Witness told him it was not so, as he was in the Infirmary, and he ought to go and see him. The prisoner then said to him, " Don't take any notice of me and I will reward you." On the morning that this affair happened one Luigi Gasparini gave witness a knife. The witness, in cross-examination, gave the prisoner a good character. Margaret Giuocchio, wife of the first witness, confirmed the testimony of her husband. She added that Gasparini went to bed before her husband, but rose Lgain and went out before witness retired. This witness, on being cros good character. John Baptist Massa, an Italian musician, who slept in the room adjoining to that in which the prisoner and the de ceased slept on the night in question, confirmed the testi mony of the preceding witnesses as to hearing the deceased cry out in Italian that he was scalded. Luigi Gasparini said, he lodged in Ginocchio's house, and on Sunday afternoon, before this matter happened, he saw the prisoner come into the house from a funeral. The de ceased was there, and he said, if he had money he would go to America. The prisoner said, " What have you done in England that you (have not money to go to America ?" They had then some talk together, and the prisoner put out his finger towards the deceased, as in contempt. The pri soner said to the deceased, " You eat the blood of the poor." The prisoner then went away. They were in partnership together. Witness went to bed at ten o'clock on the night that this happened, and rose again at two o'clock to go into the yard. Saw Mrs. Ginocchio when he came down, but she was in bed before lie came in again. Witness stayed in the kitchen to light his pipe. There was a good fire, but he did not touch it. lie stayed there perhaps about twelve minutes, and then went to bed. Witness slept in a room over Ginocchio's and under the prisoner's. At a quarter before four he was awoke by a noise upon the stairs. The witness here described what be heard and saw, to the same effect as the other witnesses. Was sure he heard the de ceased cry out in Italian, " Cappella has burned me." Witness went down stairs, and saw the deceased with the mixture upon him, and he said to witness, Cappella had done it. Ile also said to witness, "My dear Louis, if I have done any thing to yen, forgive me, I'm a dead man." Wit ness could not say whether at that time the deceased was under the impression that he would die. Cross-examined.—Had known the prisoner nine years, and he had always maintained a good character. Antonio Solari, servant to the witness Massa, said, be heard the deceased scream and use the words, " forgive me, I'm a dead man:" Witness saw John Baptist Bisolasi, one of his comrades, pick up a knife on the stairs. The knife was open, and standing against the stair with the blade up permost. John Baptist Bisolasi confirmed the statement of the last witness as to the finding of the knife, and he gave it to Basini. He also confirmed the evidence of the other wit nesses as to the cries of the deceased. The prisoner's cha racter was good. • ;-examined, gave the prisoner a Carlo Ralioti said, he was a musician, and kept a house in Liverpool. Ginocchio's house was about half a mile from his. Knew the prisoner, who came to his house on the Monday night at ten o'clock with his piano. Witness told him if he wanted his instrument repaired the man was out. Ile replied, that he did not want it repaired. Witness was at supper, and asked him to have some, but he said he was in a hurry, and he wished to go home. He said, he would leave tha instrument there, as he had to go some where to play very early in the morning. He left it, and went away. The next morning he came at four o'clock, and asked for his piano. He had no hat, and said that some blackguard had taken it last night. Witness lent him one. He then went away. This witness gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Thomas Brandreth said he was house-surgeon to the Liverpool Infirmary, and recollected the deceased being brought there on the 13th July. He had received a very ex tensive scald over the face, neck, chest, abdomen, sides, part of the back, and the upper part of the thighs. He died on the 25th. He died from exhaustion, which resulted from the scalding. A patient in the same ward interpreted for witness what the deceased said, as witness does not know Italian. He was in a very dangerous state when he was brought to the infirmary, and continued so till his death. _Mr. Dowling, police-commissioner, said he understood the Italian language, and on the 17th July he accompanied Mr. Rushton to ie infirmary, to see the deceased, who was then in great pain, but quite sensible. Witness asked him particularly whether he thought he should recover or not? He replied " No ; it was impossible ; he felt great pain in his stomach, and he could scarcely breathe." Witness's opi nion was that he thought himself in such a state that he could not recover. The examination was then taken by Mr. Rush ton, and witness translated it to the deceased, who then put his mark to it. . _ _ The examination of the deceased was here read. It has already been published in the STANDARD. Archibald Balfour, beadle of Liverpool, said he was pre sent at the inquest before the coroner, and heard the prisoner make a statement (which was now read), to the effect that the deceased owed him £l2, and when he asked him for it, on the Sunday before, he said one had been put into the bu rial ground to-day, and there would soon be another, mean ing the prisoner. _ This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. WILKINS then addressed the jury, in a most eloquent speech, on the part of the prisoner. He commenced by stat ing that he trusted he should be able to convince them that at most the offence was one of manslaughter only. They had heard that for many years the prisoner had home an excellent character for humanity and kindness, and if that were so was it not inconsistent to say that he could in one moment be come a murderer. He contended there was nothing to prove that the deed was done by design ; in the first place there were fifteen persons in the house, and the instrument was one of the most clumsy that could have been selected. Again, if he intended to scald the deceased there were two kettles of hot water which he might have used, without his going to the trouble of making the mixture spoken of. He must have known too that the screams produced by the torture of the scalding must inevitably lead to his detection. The view he took was, that the prisoner went down stairs to prepare breakfast pre vious to both going on their journey ; that when he took it up stairs some sudden quarrel took place about money, and in the heat of the moment, without premeditation or inten tion, threw the mixture upon the deceased. A knife had been produced, but it had not been proved to belong to the prisoner ; but it had been proved by the deceased himself that he had told the prisoner that there had been one funeral that day and there might soon be another. After some fur ther comments the learned gentlemen reverted to his original position, and called upon the jury to return a verdict of manslaughter. The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up, recapitulating all the circumstances of the case. The jury then retired, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour they returned into court with a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on the ground of his previous good character. The JUDGE ordered the prisoner to be broughp for sen tence to-morrow morning (Friday.) ASIITON ELECTION RIOTS Job Tankard, 33, James Hallsworth, 25, William Mars land, 23, John Briggs, 26, Richard Hadcret, 34, John Royle, 2G, and James Broster, 26, were indicted for feloni ously and riotously beginning to demolish and pull down the dwelling house of James Taylor, at Ashton-under-Lyne, on Thursday, the Ist July last. Dr. Brown and Mr. Brandt prosecuted; the prisoners Hallsworth and Briggs were defended by Mr. James ; the others were undefended. It appeared that the polling at the election for the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne took place on the Ist of July last, and, party spirit being very strong there, a riot took place, in the course of which much violence was exhibited. The prosecutor kept a tavern, which was resorted to by , the friends of Mr. Hindley, one of the candidates, called the New Town Hall Inn, and it was against this house that the rioters di rected their attacks, doing considerable damage. A great number of people were apprehended, among whom were the prisoners. The jury found all the prisoners guilty, but recommended them to the mercy of the court, on the ground that it was probable their actions had been induced by others in a diffe rent station of life. The CHIEF JUSTICE said he was bound to order sentence of death to be recorded against them, but the act which di rected him to do so would expire in the month of October. Under these circumstances, he should add his recommen dation to that of the jury, and in all probability they would be discharged on finding sureties for their good behaviour. If that should be so, he trusted those sureties would never have to be estreated. ave bin' a good , r i e e d c a , p a i t n u: i a ga t i ny aces in the ease iut an hour, recommendation to mercy. of death to be recorded souse merchants in Liverpool, to re to give a det. cr. a az, in Yorkshire -YESTERDAY red for the prisoner ith his own languge 1 his to it touch it )ver the balance due on plaintiffs on the de- iley were counsel for the plain defendant. !COUNT-HARDMAN plaintiffs, Mr. Charles Edwards, and Mr. William of the firm of llardtnan and who is a partner in the firm of real, the balance due on con- Former to the latter.

RIGBY AND ANOTHER V. WESTMACOTT. This was a special jury case, in which Thomas Rigby and another were plaintiflis, and Henry Seymour Westmacott, defendant. The declaration was an issue to try whether the plaintiffs were, entitled to certain flint stone. Mr. Creswell and Mr. Crompton appeared for the plain tiffs ; and Mr. Baines and Mr. Martin for the defendant. Mr. CRESSWELI. informed the jury that the parties had come to an understanding which would save them the trouble of going into a lengthened investigation. A verdict was accordingly returned for the plaintiffs, by consent. TAYLOR V. HAIVKINS. This was an undefended cause, in which Benjamin Taylor was plaintiff, and James Hawkins defendant. The action vas brought for the recovery of £3O 3s. Bd., being the amount of a balance due from defendant to plaintiff. Verdict for plaintiff for the sum claimed. MARTIN V. POTTS AND ANOTHER. This was an undefended cause, in which Richard Martin was plaintiff, and John and Joseph Potts were the defendants. The plaintiff was a drysalter, at Manchester, and the de fendants were silk-dyers. The action was brought for the recovery of £3O ss. 10d., being the amount of goods sold and delivered. _ _ Verdict for plaintiff for the sum claimed. COATES AND ANOTHER V. BIRCH, DART., SHERIFF This was an action brought by Samuel and Benj. Coates, against Sir Thomas Bernard Birch, Bart., high-sheriff of the county, for the recovery of the amount of a judgment for £B3 3s. 10d. The declaration set forth, that on the Bth of July last a writ of capiaB ad reapondendurn had been duly issued to the chancellor, at the suit of the plaintiffs, against a Mr. Walton ; that the sheriff, under a writ issued at the suit of a man named Scott, arrested Walton, and afterwards suffered him to go at large, whereby he became indebted to the plaintiffs for the amount of the judgment. The defen dant pleaded that the writ had not been delivered to him ; that he did not take Walton, and that he had not had him in execution ; and that there existed a conspiracy between the plai n tiff s an d th e i r a tt orn ey, to lodge their writ at such a tim e that it would be impossible for the sheriff to execute it pr,Rerly. Mr.buntlas and Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Crompton for the defendant. mongers at NV Mr. D UNDAS stated the case. The plaintiffs were iron in Liverpool olverh ampton, an d i n th e h a bi t o f d o i ng busi nesswith Mr. Walton, against whom they brought an action hi the January of the present year, and obtained a verdict f or the aura of £B5 3s. Md. Mr. Waltoni not being forthcoming, th e la tha iu t ti i ff t s wa s s ue t d he o d u u t t t y h o ei f r t w he rit sh o e n the Bth of July, for the p urpose of . proceeding on the judg ment. The jury were awar e ') riff, when he received a writ, to take the man into custody, and in that way the debt was recovered. Th e action in the presen t case had been Drought against the sheriff for his de fault, inasmuch as ha took Walton into eustofly; and after wards suffered him to escape : in consequence, the sheriff had rendered himself liable for the amount of the judgment. It would appear from the evidence, that on the Bth of July last, a writ was sued out against Walton, at the suit of the plain tiffs, and that the following day it was delivered to the sheriff, at his office in Preston. At the same time there happened to have been a writ out against Walton, at the suit of a Mr. John Scott, which writ was delivered to a man named Kirby, the sheriff's officer, who arrested Walton in Liverpool, on the 10th of July. The action between Scott and Walton was then settled, whereupon Kirby, without searching the sheriff's office, at Preston, to ascertain if there were any other writs against him, suffered him to go at large, whereby the plaintiffs had lost the benefit of his arrest. In point of law, when the sheriff receives several writs against an indi vidual, and that individual was arrested on one of them, be was virtually in custody on every one of the actions. For instance, if there were, six writs out agai ns t a m an, and he was arrested on one of them, he was virtually arrested on all the others, because it would be absurd on the part of the sheriff to arrest him on each separately ; and them fore when Walton had been arrested at the suit of Scott, he was virtu ally arrested at the suit of the plaintiffs ; because, when he had been arrested at the suit of Scott, the writ of the plain tiffs was issued : under those circumstances, the sheriff was liable for his default. Several witnesses were then examined to prove the case; after which, Mr. CRESSWELL addressed the jury on the part of the defendant. He said that the two writs had come down si multaneously, in order that Walton might be arrested on rnesne process and let out, and that the sheriff should then be fixed in the costs of the present action. Both the writs came down on the same day, the 9th July : one of them was sent to an officer of the name of Kirby, and the second to an officer of the name of Ogle. Walton was then arrested by Kirby, and when the action at the suit of Scott had been settled, he kept him for a day or two after in custody, and then liberated him, not knowing that there was another writ against him at the suit of the plaintiffs, and the officer Ogle knowing nothing of Walton's arrest. He (the learned coun sel) was not quite sure that Walton had not been a party to the transaction, and that lie had not been instrumental in the getting up of the farce, which might well be called " a new way to pay old debts ", by making the she►ifl' of the county liable for the demand of the plaintiffs instead of himself. There appeared to have been an arrangement between the parties that Walton should be arrested and put in jail ; that the second writ should be got down at the same time with the plaintiff's suit ; that Walton should be liberated upon Scott's writ, and that the sheriff should be made to pay the amount of the second execution. For this purpose W alton's arrest on Scott's writ had been kept a profound secret lest-it should come to the ears of the officer, Ogle, and lest mea sures would be accordingly taken to keep him in custody. If the jury should be of opinion, under these circumstances, that there had been a conspiracy between the parties, and a piece of hocus pocus in the bringing down of the two writs at one and the same time, they would release the sheriff from liability. His 'LORDSHIP then charged the jury. It was the duty of the sheriff's officer to ascertain whether there were any other writs against Walton before he discharged him from custody. If he had applied to the officer at Preston he could imme diately have ascertained that there was a second writ against Walton at the suit of the plaintiffs. The question was, whe ther Walton was in the sheriff's custody at the time that the sheriff had the second writ in his care ; and, upon this point, it appeared from the evidence that the man had been in cus tody from the 10th to the 14th of July, and that the writ at the suit of the plaintiffs was consigned to the sheriff's keep ing on the 9th of July. There had been no evidence of any conspiracy in the case, but there had been evidence of great neglect on the part of the sheriff's officer, who, it appeared, had not taken the ordinary precautions before he liberated Walton from custody. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the full amount. JONES V. BANKART In this case Watkin Merrick Jones, was the plaintiff, and Frederick Bankart, the defendant. The action was brought for the recovery of the sum of £l6O, being the amount in which the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff for monies advanced, and on account stated. Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Watson appeared for the plaintiff, and the Hon. Mr. Wortley and Mr. Crompton for the de fendant. Mr. CaESSWELL stated the case. The action had been brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman residing in Liverpool, to recover from the defendant, who was a compound of an attorney, a bill discounter, and an agent in London, a sum of about £162, under the following circumstances :—lt ap peared that a Mr. Worthington, also practised as an attor ney in Liverpool with great respectability, and who filled the office of solicitor to the Dock Trustees at present, became considerably indebted to the plaintiff. There bad been ex changes of property between the parties, which left him a debtor to the plaintiff to a large amount. In the course of those transactions, Mr. Worthineton had accepted a bill for the plaintiff for £lOO, which would become due on the 19th of March, 1840, and the plaintiff had accepted, for the ac commodation of Mr. Worthington, a bill for £221 ss, which would become due on the 20th of March in the same year. Both those bills had to be provided for by Mr. Worthington, but he not being in a condition to provide for them, the plain tiff remitted a bill on the 4th of March for £196 10s, and on the 18th of March he remitted another bill for £286 17s, which made a total of £483 7s to meet them. Those two bills were then handed over to the defendant to take up the bills which were falling due ; and on the 22nd of March, 1840, the plaintiff wrote a letter to the defendant, informing him of the terms on which the two bills for £196 10s, and £286 17s had been remitted. The difference between the first two bills for £331 ss, which were taken up, and the second two bills for £483 7s, which had been remitted for the purpose of taking up the others, was now claimed by the plaintiff; for when the defendant was subsequently applied to for the balance, he said he would keep tine bills for what they were worth, although they had both been ultimately ho noured, and he had received the amount of them in full. Witnesses having been examined to prove the transactions between the parties, The lion. Mr. WORTLE Si addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant. He said the plaintiff in the case had pro fited very considerably by a familiar intimacy which had ex isted between Mr. Worthington and the defendant, in getting paper discounted, which otherwise would have been negocia hie. It would appear that Mr. Worthington, finding him self under considerable embarrassments, went to London and applied, not to a common money-lender, but to his familiar friend, the defendant, for accommodation. The plaintiff and Mr. Worthington happening to have dealings together, and both being in difficulties, Mr. Worthington ap plied to the defendant, with the knowledge of the plaintiff, and at his suggestion, to assist him in discounting the bills for £lOO, and £231 ss. The defendant then accommodated the parties ; and he (the learned counsel) thought it rather hard that plaintiff should turn round on the defendant after that gentleman had accommodated him. The defendant claimed the bills as his own on account of a balance which was owing to him by the two parties—the plaintiff and Mr. Worthing ton, both of whom acted as if in partnership together, and the latter appearing in the capacity of an agent to the former. The defendant had subsequently been obliged to sue upon the bills, and ultimately succeeded in recovering their amount, less costs and other expenses. For ten months afterwards the plaintiff acquiesced in the transactions with the defendant ; but at present, in the last hour, in his des peration and want of funds, and when he found Mr. Wor thington unable to pay him. he turned round upon the de fendant, who, through his friendship with Mr. Worthington, bid been induced to grant accommodation to the plaintiff. A number of letters were here read which had passed be tween the parties. Mr. CRESSWELL replied. His LORDSHIP then charged the jury, who, after an ab sence from court of twenty minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £162 10s. BALDWIN V. BENNETT AND ANOTHER This was an undefended action, brought by the plaintiff, William Baldwin, against the defendants, John and Joseph Bennett. The declaration contained counts for goods sold and delivered, and interest on an account stated, and a pro mise to pay on request. The plaintiff was a dealer in oil and tallow, residing at Manchester. The defendants were cotton spinners. The action had been brought for the recovery of the sum of £7l 10s. 6d., being the value of 331 gallons of oil, and interest on that amount for six months from the sale, which took place in July, 1839. Verdict for plaintiff for the sum claimed. BRAG V. JACKSON. In this case, John Bragg was the plaintiff, and John Jack son defendant. The declaration set forth that the defendant had assaulted and falsely imprisoned the plaintiff. The de fendant pleaded " not guilty." Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dundas for the defendant. Mr. CRESSWELL stated the case to the jury on the part of the plaintiff. He had to lay before them a case requiring their serious attention. It was not one of an ordinary character. At the time of the occurrence the plaintiff had been engaged in an act of charitable interference, on behalf of an unfortu nate fellow-creature, and the conduct of the defendant had been harsh, cruel, without justification, and excessively cal culated to injure the plaintiff in his reputation and feelings. It would appear in evidence that at the last spring assizes a young man, of the name of Coates, had been convicted of forgery, at the Chester assizes. Coates' father, who was dead, had been a respectable man ; the young man himself had been decently educated ; he had unfortunately acquired bad habits, and had uttered a forged bill purporting to have the acceptance of a gentleman of the name of Vickars, a cotton-spinner, near Stockport. The fraud had been committed on the Bank of Stockport, and he was con victed. Subsequently, the convict's uncle tried to get up a petition on his behalf, in the hope that the chief secretary would advise her majesty to extend a degree of mercy to him ; for he had been sentenced to transportation for a period of ten years, and the prayer of the petition was to procure a remission f that sentence. It being desirable to obtain the sanction of the party who prosecutes, and whose name is forged to a petition of the kind, for if he adds his name, it will be taken for granted tkat he thinks it a case in which the clemency of the crown may fairly be interposed, the convict's uncle was anxious to obtain the signature of Mr. Vickars. Accordingly, not being acquainted with the gentleman himself, he applied to the plaintiff to know if he were acquainted with him. He said he was, and promised to speak to him on the subject. A note was then sent to him, and afterwards the plaintiff and the uncle of the convict met Mr. Vickars in Manchester, and got him to sign it. Having procured his signature on the 13th of May, they proceeded to the bank at Stockport, for the purpose of seeing whether the manager, who happened to be the defendant, would sign it also. They accordingly presented the petition to him, stating that they had got Mr. Vickars to sign it, and expres sing a hope that the defendant would likewise attach his signature. He (the manager) begged of them both to leave it with him for a time, and that he would give an answer. They said they would, left it with him, and de parted. In consequence of the convict having executed a deed of gift to his mother, in order that two or three things of which he was possessed might become her property, in stead of being forfeited to the crown, the plaintiff and the convict's uncle then proceeded to the mayor, and made ap plication to him to have the said things given up. The mayor said he would take time to speak to his brother magistrates on the subject, and while they were debating the matter to gether, the defendant entered, and spoke to the two men with reference to the petition. They then went into the mayor's room, and had a private conversation with his wor ship, after which they went back to the bank. On their ar rival there, they found that the defendant had two policemen in attendance, and by those policemen the defendant had the two men apprehended on a charge of having forged the petition. This was a very cruel proceeding to say the least of it. What interest could the plaintiff have to get a peti tion of the sort signed ? Could he have had any other motives than those of charity and kindness? Could the de fendant be defrauded by it in any way ? if he chose not to had been justly convicted an sentenced, sign it upon the ground that genuineness , o r. Vickar s ' sitrna ltianteedthe young maman d i ntight have said and asked signa ture } l ie f p g r u o a p r r d ie a ty ga h i a n v s e t written a Butto thatthe Saecpreertsaorny found that the petition had been got t en u p b y improper question whether he h ad si g ned it or not ; an d if he then of means, State nhieigdhotuhbatveed the sent for that gentleman, who was going about in the cause of mercy, wheth er h e ercy, presentin g a b eca use the defendant fancied there was variance between the hand-writing hetombigehotnvnh.tihs would sign it, should—because of Mr. Vickars to manner which he usually wrot e hi s petition of the kind , and askin g a gentleman the petition and the h d degree of and taken into custody. showed a name—immediately impute a f elony, and have the p ar ties apprehended harshness, violence, and cruelty most painful to the feeli ngs of the plaintiff. The defendant said, he was ready to swear that it was not Mr. Vickars' hand -writing, and the May or said, when they were brought b efore him, that he would hold them to bail. The plaintiff's father then bailed them, and immediately after they set off to Mr. Vickars, vetio lived about eight miles off, to acquaint him with what had occur red. Mr. Vickers expressed his regret at the circumstance, behaved considerately to them, and went over to Stockport the next day to say he really had signed the petition. The men attended the following day before the Mayor, when their recognizances were discharged and themselves liberated. The defendant could have no motive under heaven for his conduct except a feeling against every body connected with Coates, the convict; because, through means of Coates, he had paid a forged bill. If those injuries had been com mitted without any reasonable excuse on the part of the defendant, the case was one in which the plaintiff ought to receive very ample compensation for the injuries he had sustained. Abraham Baker, the convict's uncle, having prOved the facts of the case, Mr. DUNDAS addressed the jury on the part of the de fendant. He denied that his client had been influenced by any such motives as those attributed to him by the learned counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant certainly thought the signature of Mr. Vickars a forgery, and it was for the purpose of ascertaining whether it was forged or genuine that he got the men to leave it at the bank. He then asked several persons in the town to look at the signature, and their con current testimony was, that it had been forged. The de fendant had never instructed the officers to arrest the men ; but the officers having heard that men were going about with a forged petition, they proceeded to the bank and arrested them on their own responsibility. The learned counsel concluded by telling the jury that there was another action against the defendant at the present assizes, at the suit of the convict's uncle (Baker), and that both actions had been brought for the purpose of putting money into the pockets of the attorney in the case. • - The officers were accordingly examined, to prove that their instructions to arrest had not proceeded from the defendant. Mr. CnEsswELL replied. His LORDSHIP briefly charged the jury. If the defendant had given the instructions to arrest, the plaintiff would be entitled to damages ; if not, a verdict for the defendant ought to be returned. The jury, after an absence from court for upwards of an hour, found a verdict for the defendant. The prisoner replied, through his interpreter, Joseph Liardi, I beg that some time may be allowed to me, that I may reconcile my mind to God. The Lord CHIEF JUSTlCE.—Girolotno Capella, you have been convicted of a cruel and deliberate murder, not in any moment of excitement or violence, but after great delibera tion, and in consequence of some quarrel about money. You proceeded with care and forethought, and actually secured, almost at the moment when you committed this foul mnrder, the small property which was probably some inducement for you to commit it. The jury recommended you to mercy; I, therefore, have not come to the conclusion that I ought to leave you to the hands of the executioner without great care and anxiety. It would have given me the greatest pleasure to comply with that recommendation, if I had thought it consistent with my public duty ; but it is necessary that ex amples should be made when these horrible crimes are com mitted. The only prayer that he (the learned judge here spoke in the third person and addressed the interpreter)has addressed to me- 7 that he may have time to reconcile himself to God, is the only prayer that can be granted in his behalf. He must prepare for death. He will have every consolation and every assistance that religion can afford him, and I fervently hope that his repentance may be accepted. The sentence of the court is, that for the felony and murder of which he stands convicted, he be taken from hence to the place from whence he came, and from that place to some place of execution, and that there lie be hanged by the neck till he is dead. His body must then be buried within the precincts of the prison, and may the Almighty God have mercy upon his soul. The prisoner here requested that the interpreter might be allowed to see him to-morrow (Saturday), as he wished to coress to the priest. •• • • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—There will be no objection. The Chaplain to the High Sheriff said he would commu nicate the wish of the prisoner to the priest. The prisoner, who heard the sentence with apparent calm ness, was then removed from the dock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—TH!s DA Y (From Messrs. R. MAKIN Sr SONS' Circular.) The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland. since our report of Tuesday, contain a moderate quantity of Wheat, a large supply of Oats and Oatmeal, with a few parcels of Barley, Malt, and Flour ; but, exclusive of about 4000 quarters of Wheat from Europe, the imports fresh in from abroad are trivial. During the period between Tuesday's market and to-day, the trade for most kinds of free Grain was extremely inani mate, with an obvious tendency to lower prices. Of States Flour under lock, however, several thousand barrels changed hands at 345. ; and Canadian, duty paid, brought 375. to 375. 6d, ; which, with a few parcels of Stettin Wheat at Ss. to 9s. per 701bs, included the principal sales of bonded produce. On Tuesday night last we had a recurrence of rain, and showers on Wednesday morning, since which the weather has appeared more settled, and being now exceedingly fine, harvest around us is progressing favourably. The duties for the ensuing week have decreased on foreign Wheat to 13s Bd, on Barley to 103 10d, on*Rye to 15s Gd, on Beans to Bs, on Pease to 3s Gd per qr., and on Flour to Ss 24d per barrel; those on British colonial growth being gene rally reduced to the lowest point, except for Oats. which re main at 2s and Rye at 3s per quarter. Influenced decisively by the improved state of the weather, and the certainty of very low duties, the trade this morning for all descriptions of free Wheat remained excessively dull ; and in the few limited transactions which occurred, a de cline of 3d per 701bs from our last was conceded. The only sale of bonded Grain reported to-day was con fined to about 2000 quarters of United States Wheat at 9s per 701bs ; and in Flour under lock little further business transpired. English, Irish, and Foreign duty-paid Flour being in slow request, must be noted rather cheaper. Barley, upon a very limited demand, was somewhat de pressed in value ; and Malt, Beans, and Peas barely sus tained late prices. Owing to the increasing supplies of Oats and Oatmeal, and the absence of country buyers, these articles were much neg lected to-day, and although the former receded 2d per 451b3, and the latter 2s per sack, the sales of both were nearly im practicable.

The court adjourned, at ten minutes to six o'clock, to nine this morning. At the rising of the court last evening there were only three causes in the West Derby Hundred list, and 29 in the Salford Hundred list undisposed of. AWFUL THUNDER-STORM (Prom the Second Edition of the Standard of Tuesday) At two o'clock this morning this town was visited by a a thunder-storm of more than usual violence, but providen tially of short duration. The preceding day had been fine throughout, with a freshness in the atmosphere by no means portending anything.like the electric termination which fol lowed. Soon after ten o'clock the sky became visibly over cast. and large thunder drops announced a decided change in the state of the weather. Several showers of this kind — accompanied with a tremendous fall of hail—fell before twelve, though neither severe nor lasting in their dura tion, with an occasional appearance of lightning and very distant thunder. Towards two o'clock, however, it threat ened more immediate collision with the town, and within a few minutes of that precise time, a most terrific clap of thunder announced a more decided attack on our re sidences ; the lightning of a pale blue cast first descended on the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, striking the spire within a few feet of the top, dislodging a very considerable portion of the masonry, compared with the attenuated form of that portion of the building, so that thorough repair will be required at the summit. It gradually pursued its course downwards, dislodging stones and fragments of stones in its path, and sweeping with it in one instance a considerable portion of exterior ornament, finding its way out eventually at the roof. Although severely struck, however, the build ing itself, does not appear to have suffered material injury. The direction of the storm may be accurately marked by the damage it inflicted apparently at both extremities of its During the storm, the spire of St. Michael's Church, Pitt. street, was struck by the lightning, and the spiral part of the steeple was so much shattered that it will probably have to be pulled down and rebuilt, to the base of the cone, or at least to the lower loop-holes. The great probability is, (though some difference of opinion exists on the subject,) that the building was struck by the second great shock, or explosion of the electric fluid, at about twenty minutes past two o'clock. The clock hands on the south side of the steeple stopped at that hour, some stones having fallen amongst the works. The clock hands on the east side, how ever, are said to have indicated half-past one o'clock, when first seen this morning; but of this some doubt exists; and it is reasonable to suppose that the clock, at least, was not affected till the latter shock, otherwise the hands on the south side would not have gone on. The appearance of the spiral part of the steeple, particu larly on tiro west and north-west sides, alarming, a large rent or aperture in the masonry, with abrazion of the outer stone-work being apparent, in a winding or spiral direction down the cone, commencing about two-thirds its height from the base, and going more than half round the steeple. A large quantity of stone was dislodged from its position, and fell in large fragments, strewing the ground immediately round the steeple, and even the opposite street. The round mouldings, or outward groining of the corners of the oc tagonal spire are broken off to a great extent on the north and west, but those on the east and south-east appear to have sustained no injury. In one part of the rent, an entire stone or nearly so is forced out, leaving a large aperture which admits the light. The great height and shattered condition of the spire ren ders it necessary, for the public safety, to station policemen to prevent persons from passing that part of Pitt-street be tween Kent-street and Cornwallis-street. Our reporter, however, obtained admission to the interior of the church, and finally, accompanied by the clerk, ascended the steeple, walked on the roof of the church, and got into the bell-loft — the highest floor—to ascertain the damage. On the roof of the colonnade, on the north side, projecting continuously with the roof of the church from the base of the steeple, large fragments of stones are strewed about, and five large holes are made by others through the slates and woodwork, as if produced by cannon balls. A portion of the capital of one of the Corinthian columns in the upper story of the steeple, has imbedded itself in the lath-work under the roof. Several holes are also formed in the roof of the church on the same side by the stones that have fallen, and the rain has consequently come through the roof of the aisle, in several places The electric fluid appears to have escaped from the steeple by the stone work immediately under the east clock, and close to the ridge of the church roof. Several stones are there much broken, and outwardly abrupted, as if caused by an explosion from within. In the interior of the steeple pieces of the broken stone from the spire above are thickly strewed in the bell loft. One of them, apparently of nearly a hundred weight, has, in its fall, struck the axle tree of the bell, and the strong frame in which it hangs. The bell, which is about one yard and a half in diameter at the mouth, was driven from its pendant position on one side of the frame work, and now rests, on that side, on the floor, surrounded by broken stones and rubbish. From this point the steeple was visible interiorly to its top. One of the huge stones in the western arched window of the bell-loft is loosened from its position, and considerably broken. There are also slight appearances of the electric fluid having here and there touched the stones in the interior of the tower but nothing of con sequence. The building generally, indeed, with the excep tion of the spiral part, may be considered uninjured. Scaf folding may, we think, be erected from the lower loop holes to take down and rebuild the top. It is somewhat remarkable that St. Michael's Church was closed for about six weeks prior to last Sunday, for the pur pose of being cleaned and re-painted. It is now necessary to announce, that owing to , th e d a ngerous state of the top of the spire in the event of a gale of wind, Divine Service will not be performed within it until further notice. The storm, as experienced by those on board ship in the river, was at once sublime ane terrific. Lieutenant Willson, commander 11. M. S. Etna, lying in the Sloyne,. describes the storm in a most interesting manner, but we have not room in our second edition to particularize. He states that the first terrific flash of lightning appeared to strike the Mer sey opposite the town, and the Etna vibrated from the mast head to the keel, so that all on board conceived for a moment that she was . shaken to pieces. The parties on de ck (including Captain Willson, who kept his own watch) lost their sight for several seconds, but on recovering found that no damage was done to the ship. The second flash appeared to evolve from the southern extremity of a dark cloud, and flashed from one end of the town to the other. This was probably the flash that struck both St. Michael's, in the south, and St. Martin's, in the north. The hail, intermingled with rain, came down with a weight and noise that threatened personal injury to those exposed t o it ; and must, we fear, have thrashed down the crops in the fields, now opproximating, and that has attained maturity. The wind during the storm ranged round the circuit of the compass, 'and the elemental commotion combined the grand and fearful. This afternoon the weather is again fine, with a breeze from the north-west. There does not appear to have been any minor damage in flicted on our dwellings in its passage ; it is certain, howe ver , that the two chief calamities, by which two of our finest churches will probably be put to some troublesome, although not expensive repair, formed the boundariep of the storm, the short space of twenty minutes including the whole of its greatest fury. Such torrents of rain as accompanied it in its progress we are seldom called to witness. In the morn ing the rain was for a short time renewed with all its violence, with a mixture of hail. It is to be hoped, from the defined character of the storm over the town itself, that no more general effects were experienced from it in other parts of the kingdom, or otherwise, with the heavy blade which the present crops present, we fear it will be pro ductive of unusual damage to the agriculturist. We trust, however, and have reason to believe, that such was not the case, and that the crops will be spared a few weeks longer, when they will be safely secured, and deposited in the garnet. Standard Office, Eleven o' Clock HOUSE OF COMMONS.-LAST NIGHT THE CASE OF MILEOD. Mr. ROEBUCK said that seeing the noble lord the Foreign Secretary in his place, he wished to ask a question relating to the detention of Mr. M`Leod by the American govern ment. It was known that the reason of Mr. M‘Leod's detention was in consequence of the part he had taken in the affair of the Caroline steamer. He begged the house to re collect that after M`Leod had been arrested n communica tion was opened between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth. He wished, therefore, to know if, as there had been an alteration in the American government, any change had taken place in the situation and state of affairs relating to Mr. M`Leod's case? In short, he wished to know what communication had taken place between her majesty's government and that of the United States on the subject. He wished to hear what resasons the noble lord could offer to justify the reten tion of Mr. M'Leod. . . Lord . PALMERSTON considered it was very irregular to preface questions hon. members might put to the government with arguments likely to lead to a debate. He had no ob jection to state that her Majesty's government had done everything in their power to preserve the honour of this country, and protect the safety of a subject--(hear) — and he had the satisfaction of being able to inform the house, that the government of the United States had given instructions to the Attorney General to proceed in a manner perfectly in ac cordance with the law of nations. The noble lord then read the correspondence which had taken place between Mr. Fox, the British Minister, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Forsyth. Her Majesty's government entirely approved of the conduct of Mr. Fox, and they were decidedly of opinion that the attack on the Caroline was in consequence of the order of th e government, carried into effect by military officers of the government, and in all respects must be treated a public and not a private act. (Hear.) The attack on the Caroline was a national act, and raised a question between nations whether an individual could be brought before the ordinary tribunals of the country under such circumstances. The noble lord then referred to several authorities regarding international rights and privileges. The lion. member said on the outset of the affair a special ambassador ought to have been sent to the United States ; he did not think so; it was better to leave the question to the good sense and justice of that coun try ; and it would now be better not to enter into any spe culation as to what the future conduct of America might be. (Hear.) In answer to a que stion by Sir C. N APIER , Lord PALMERSTON said he had received a letter from Lord Ponsonby, informing him that the government of the Sublime Porte had agreed to make good all the losses in curred by the siege of Acre. THE ADDILESS. — ADJOURNED DEBATE. Lord SANDON then rose and addressed the house in favour of the amendment, and was left speaking. From the date of my last Tuesday's report up to Saturday the weather was uninterruptedly fine, and everything that could be desired for rapidly maturing the coming harvest; since then the weather has been broken with partial showers, but nothing of con sequence to prevent cutting, which will, during the present week, be very general round this neighbourhood, and the general report of the farmers is more promising than might have been anticipated from the previous long-continued bad weather. The corn trade has been very languid, and but a very limited business passing during the past week, especially for that under bond, which may be noted fully 4s per qr. lower than on the few sales made.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AVG. 24 The demand to-day is only moderate, say to the extent of 2,000 bales, at similar prices to yesterday. The complaints from the manufacturing districts are loud and long of the badness of the trade, and the almost necessity laid upon them for closing their establishments in toto. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 25 We cannot notice any change either in the tone or feeling of our market ; to.day the demand is but moderate and the supply only seasonable, so that there is no material pressure upon it. Buyers merely supply their immediate wants, in full expectation of a fur ther decline in prices, when the consumption decreases as they alledge it must considerably do, the bulk of the spinners not in tending to light up. The day's business is estimated at 3000 to 3500 bales. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 26. The weather has been beautifully fine, and the Sun's heat seems to have subdued the wonted liveliness of our market, for business has dragged itself along to-day with considerably difficulty, not more than 2000 to 2500 bales have been sold at prices much on a par with those obtained previously this week, in some instances probably a shade lower. We want sonic thundering orders to rouse the dormant state of trade, and to banish the midnight torpor that prevades every thing. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AuG. 24 (Front the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.) Since Tuesday last the supplies of Oats and Oatmeal from Ire land, and of Wheat and Flour from Canada, have been pretty con sidcrable. During the whole of the past week, up to Friday evening, the weather had become as favourable as possible for bringing the crops to maturity, which with the release of all British Colonial Wheat and Flour at the lowest duties on that day. paralized the demand, and caused a timidity in some of the holders, and a few sales were made ata decline of 6d to gil per 7olb on Wheat, 2s 6d per barrel on Flour, 3d per 45 lb on Oats, and 2s to 3s per 240 lb on Oatmeal, from the previous highest quotations—which indeed were almost nominal, sales thereof having been effected to a very small extent, and only to millers and dealers, whose immediate wants did not permit them to wait the release of the Canadian ; but on the morning of Saturday we had torrents of rain—almost equally so during the day following, and the weather having an appearance of again becoming unsettled at this our very criticr.l period, there was a little more confidence in both sellers and buyers yesterday, although the Manchester Corn market was very dull on Saturday. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was reduced on Friday as per quarter, on Flour Is add per barrel, on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, and on Beans is 6d per quarter; and on Wheat and Flour from Canada the lowest duties were then payable of 6d per quarter, and 39d per barrel, as anticipated; very confident expectations continue that Foreign Wheat and Flour will be at their lowest duties in September, and thus a very large quantity of both articles remain locked up from public use, at present, though much wanted, and which, by the adoption of a fluctuating scale for an alteration in the present Corn Laws, frequently suggested by us, and in which we have hitherto seen no improve ment proposed,—would have been wholly released for home use at a duty of 4s per quarter and 2s 6d per barrel on Friday the I3th instant,—the aggregate average being then above 66s ;—but the duty is still 18s 8d per quarter, though our prices of fine Wheat are 11s to 12s per 70 lb. Reaping is very partially commenced in this district, but it is thought rather prematurely; and reports are not unfavourable as to quality or quantity ; harvest not expected to be general till the end of this month, though in the southern counties they are as usual a few weeks earlier than with us. During the past night we had a very severe thunder storm, and the rain fell in torrents, which must have done injury to the crops, though it is to be hoped it fell very partially ; in consequence of which a further decline was checked at this day's market, and sales to a fair extent were made of every article in the Corn trade at about the decline above mentioned, whilst many holders abstained from offering to sell ; under such circumstances, capriciously fluc tuating with every change of weather, quotations will vary, and it is no easy matter to state them correctly—which we endear our to do in our prices current below.
