Slniet was ignorant of Sir Ateraadevie being the anti
until the papers were 'bean to him—until then lie had slot
even suspected Sir Alexander. But the relit (lucid ion ws,
after having procured thong papers, did Mr. Stuart,
ditately and nisliciously:chalteage and murder Sir Alexan-
der. New, the
.Jary would cussider the white circunt-
stances of the cue. The evidence, the remit and *nit
distinct yo had 'ever beard in a court of law; was before
the Jury, and by that they Would peteeive what had besot
the cooduct; sod what tbe steps taken by Mr. Stuart. Tilt
Earl of Rossiya spoke dietincity ou the subject, and he warn
corroborated by the distinct testimony of Mr. Dotal**.
Mr. Stuart evinced nu antics towards Sir Airy-wader
throughout the whole rosin of the traassetioo. The Jury
would also beep distinctly in view the nature of the of.
fen made by Mr. Stuart :—they were two—either that Sr
Alesander should disclaim being the author of these papers,
or that he should state that be was sorry (or hating coat.
posed these satires which he had not intended to hurt env
character gr wound the feelings of Mr. Stuart; Sir Ale%
seder, unfortunately, would not consent to either of the..
proposals. The Jury would keep in view Mr. Siusrt'.
Condones us the field, and his conduct after that fond
event—the contrition which he expressed for the fatal Lb.
and the total absence of all visdict tee feeling oil Lis part. In
every =nor this kind where snarler was chenurd,it was rnuiii
material to consider the gesentl character of the party Flee tlied
for that entered deeply iota the case. Now, in the whole anise
of his practice he never had limit higher, or more distinct
and discriminate praise bestowed on any chamfer. In good
taste, the evidence on this part of the case consisted of gen-
tlemen opponents to the Prisoner iot polities. Use gentk.
man had stated, that he sever knew one who polarised loose
of the milk of human kindness. Another bed hero his ar.
rriaintnoce fur 20 years, sod during that period he mi.?.
heard Lim utter an angry word. Mr. Hay Donaldson, his
late partner, a person well qualified to js lgq had given a
similar evidence. The Learned Judge begged it to be distinct-
ly understood, that he was not, and he hoped no Judge mould
be, friendly to such enessures as these, or ever give their
connenance to the crime of duelling. Ile lamented, and
the public groaned under the lamentable lirent:ounei4 ut
the press;—he hoped It would cease, it would receive no
cousteasnce from their Lordships. The Jury would we;gh
all these circumstances seriously is their ninth:, they would
give a verdict consonant to tho dictates of their own con.
science, and, if in this ease they were wont& to come to a
derided and ckar opinion, the advantage and pnidege of
that doubt belonged to the gentlemen at the bar,
The Jury, without leaving the box, returnd as sunni-
ness verdict by their Chancellor, Sr Johs Elope, haling
Mr. Stuart Not asilfyrof the charges libelled. The verdict
was received, by a very crowded Court, with loud chews,.
Mr.Sionn was then dismissed from the bar, said is rtlio tag

comprehensive speech, lam aught brought the state
of Ireland under the consideration of the House of
Lords. He described, in forcible terms, the mul-
tiplied evils, political sod moral, growing out cf

A very intervestiag courersatioo took plate List
night in the *mat of Conitneso ors the 'abject of
the County of Kent Polities. The fate of Mr.
Westreart's motion we considered decisive of any
attempt to restore a paper currency. The converse.
tion of lost night will probably prove equally de-
cisive against any proposition (or the redaction of
the littered of the tattoos! debt.
