GENERAL WIIITELOCKES TRIAL.

THIRD DAY.—Fze. 1.

At ten o'clock the examination of General
Gower was resumed. The Juke-Advocate Gene-
ral, about one o'clock, signified to the Court, that
the examination of General Gower, on the part of
the prosecution, was now closed. Lieut.-General
Whitelocke then put two questions on the cross-
examinations, reserving to himself the right of re-
examining General Gower as soon as he was en-
abled, on his defence, to produce documents, to
which the evidence of General Gower was auxi-
liary. The Judge-Advocate then infonned the
Members of the Court, that it was with than to
put any question they wished to the Witness.—
General Sir John Moore proceeded in a series of
cogent and applicable questions, until a quarter
pest two, when the President adjourned the Court
in consequence of two of its Members (Viscount
Lake and Earl Cathcart) being summoned to at-
tend the House of Peers. Adjourned until ten
o'clock to-morrow (this day.)
When the Court was cleared, about twelve
o'clock, onlers were communicated to the very
numerous auditory, that they should not attempt
to get in until General Whitelocke and the Wit-
nesses had arrived. The crowd was so great, that
when the doors were opened, the opposition of a
military guard proved but a very feeble check.
Many suffered from the pressure, and it at least
took up half an hour before order could • be re-
stored. A number of persons lost their haw and
the skirts of their coats in the attempt to regain
the places for which they had originally received
tickets.

Died at his house in Lower Grosvenor-street, at
one o'clock yesterday moruing, James Piacnsir,
Baron Sere}}, of &hey, Sussex. He was appointed

don, B. C. Cot.Lawo, Esq. of Salisbury, and an
as Alderman of the Corporation. He was seized
with an apoplectic fit, about three o'clock in the
afternoon. of Thursday, near Lincoln's-inn-oelds,

stroke was fatal, the skill of the most eminent of
the faculty proved unavailing, and he was thus
suddenly cut off' from society, and from his friends.
