cell was so heated that he was literally stewed. Two
persons, named Kean and Tedley, subsequently addressed
the meeting. The witness then read extracts from
the speeches of those persons. They recommended tun and
complete armed organisation, assistance to the Irish, and re-
sistance to the government.
Mr. W. Counsel' was again called. He re-read his notes
of the speech delivered by Shell.
Police constable Bywater, apprehended the prisoner in
Webb: 1.-street, on the 2nd of August. He went to his house
and searched it; he found there a eword,saquare ale,ground
to a point, ad st tile, also ground to a point, and sows papers.
Mr. Straight, the Clerk of the Arraigne, then read the
papers. One was a certificate of the prisoner b dog a mem-
ber of the “South London Life and Property Association,"
of which he was else secretary. A resolution, pledging a
meeting to aid the Irish ; a card, showing the pri-
soner to be a member of the National Char-
ter Association ; a code of resolutions for the for-
mation of the South London Life and Property Astutely.
tion, one of which was, that every member should he armed
with a pike or musket, of convent. nt size, and tnst the mem-
bers should contribute small sums weekly to defray the ex-
pense of providing the same. These things were all found
icy' room ors,. a wash house attached to the house.

Mr. Cope, publisher of the Times, was again called to
prove that, on the day when the Meeting was held, there
were rumours in London of Ireland being up .n arm•.
Mr. It. Kemmil produced the copy of the record of
blitchel's conviction ; and Mr. Straight read from it extracts
from the seditious articles, for writing which Mitchell was
tried.

Tail was the cue for the prosecution.
The prisoner then proceeded to addresa the jury. lie sal
that in m ism% he had been supplied with wratinu materials,
but not only had political pamphlets been refine d him, but
every kind of printed book had been refused tint; even that
potion of the Penny Eneiiclopredia, which c ntteineil a
definition of the word " sedition, ' had been withheld from
him.

Mr. Baron Platt inquired who withheld them,
Tho prisoner sad that he sent out for the books, but the
deputy-governor told him that the chaplain was the pi mon
who had the power of refusing the supply of b die to the
prisoners, and he refused to sanction their admission.
Mr. Baron Platt said that he et:mak:sired a prisoner had a
right to whatever books he asked for before conviction.
The prisoner hoped his Lordship would notice the matter,
not that it would ben. fit him now, but it might be of service
to others who might be similarly situated, lie then pro-
ceeded with his d'fence.

The Attorney. General replied.
The learned judge then summed up.
Verdict—Guilty.

THE DISASTERS ON THE SCOTCH COAST.

The following accounts show the general ravage
caused by the late storms :
IIELMaDALE, August 19 —We have rionced a mo't
awful sight. The herring boats have suffered dreadfully.
and several of their crews have been lost.
_ _

BUNBEATII, August 19.—Since the storm in August, 1811,
there hos not hero such a gale experienced here to that
which unhappily visited this place last night. About a dozen
boats belonging to this place have been wrecked, and moat
of the crews went down with them. A vessel laden with
salt was driven on the rocks by the gale, and immediAtely
went to pieces.
BODDAM, August 19.—There is nothing here but lamen-
tation and woe. The beach for miles is strewed with pieces of
wreck; and bodies are constantly washing up. At Eturuham,
numerous wrecks have occurred. From 30 to 40 vessels are
ashore a short distance from this place.
FRAAERB tato, August 19.—A most tempeatu,us night has
just passed, and mournful intelligence is hourly being re-
ceived of the appalling mischief amongst the boats. Many
have been boat near here.

Off the Isle of Man the gale occasioned great havoc. Here
he tis heries suffered the most.

BURNING OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.

Yesterday a telegraphic communication reached
Liverpool stating that the Boston packet ship Ocean
Monarch, Capt. Murdock, was on fire off the Orms-
head. She had tailed yesterday morning at 6 cm.,
with 360 pusengere in her steerage. This latter cir-
cumstance added to the anxiety, but in the tonne
of the day fears on that score were dispelled by the
Cambria steamer (from Beaumaris) bringing word that
the Alfonso, Brazilian steam-frigate, which possessed
two paddle-box life-boats and four other boats, was seen
bearing down to her assistance. Two pleasure yachts were
also making for her, as well as the New World, Ncw York
packet ship. The Cambria still continuing her course, met
the Prince of Wales steamer, and signalised to her to render
assistance. The Alfonso wu on a pleasure trip to Dublin,
and had on board the Prince and Princess de Joinville, the
Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, and the Brazilian Minister,
the Chevalier de Lisboa. It was conjectured that the fire
was caused by lightning, the main and raison masts being
gone. The unfortunate ship was totally dismasted. The
Point of Ayr and Hoylake life-boats proceeded to her
assistance at 31 p.m. Latest accounts state that nineteen
of the crew, and eight male and three female passen-
gers. have been saved, and brought to Liverpool by
the Queen of the Ocean yacht The captain had
been in the water 40 minutes, and the others were also
picked out of the sea. As regards the origin of the fire, it is
supposed that a passenger had mistaken a wooden ven-
tilator for a flue, and hi a fire under it. The ship
was almost instantly in flames, in consequence of a quantity
of bedding, chaff, itc., lying along the lower deck. Sonia
jumped overboard immediately, and all was in inde-
s ribable confusion. The masts began to fall one
alter another, and it is supposed killed great num-
hero in their descent. Others it is feared were routed
alive, but the majority were drowned. Their total number
cannot be correctly estimated, but it is feared that at least
one hundred will have been destroyed. When the yacht
left, the Alfonso and other vessels were still alongside, en-
deavouring to save the remnant of the unfortunate pas-
sengers. About four o'clock the Ocean Monarch was
burnt to within two feet of the water's edge.

would be found In the case of Willman that the defendant
did vote on Mr. Attwood's side.—Mr. Tucker said that came
was brought forward to give a oolour to the transaction, and
to make it appear that the houses of Mr. Attwood in Lyme
mere leased in a bond fide manner to hie tenants. Thatldr.
Attwood bad allowed persons to occupy his houses free of
rent bad been proved in the cases of four parties before the
revising barrister. The learned gentleman then called the
defends nt, Paul Pryer, who stated, I worked for Mr. M-
I ford, who is the agent of Mr. Attwood, at Lyme. In 1844
Mr. Jefford put me into a house, where I stayed 10 months.
Not a word was said about the rent of it. 1 afterwards
took another house from Mr. Jefford, and beard nothing
about the rent of that, till he kept back some money from
my wages. He said he must ink me Inc some rent, or my
vote would not pass. He canvas,ed me for Sir Fitzroy
Kelly, and told me if I voted for him I might live in the
house u long as I liked. Instead et doing as they wished,
I went and voted for Abdv. I was told when I was first
asked for rent, that I should have it paid back to me some
day. I never received a farthing ior voti:,g for Mr. Abdy,
but Jefford offered me 601. if I would go to London and
swear I hail received 301. from Mr. Tucker for my vote.
His Honour (Judge Tyrrell) observed in summing up that
if any a reement was made about the vote, as defendant
had sworn, it was null and void according to his own show
dog, for he had voted for Abdy, after having, as he affirmed,
agreed to vote as Mr. Atwood wish, d. He should give a
verdict tor the plaintiff for 201, payable in a month. A
verdict was also given for Mr. Attwood in the second case.
