SPEED OF STEAMERS.

(From the Liverpool Mercury )
The accounts which have been published of the astonishing•
speed of re-rne of the American steamers, and especially
of tfe Swallow, have staggered the faith of the English engi-
neers. The Nautical Magazine for August contains a piper on
American steam-boats, in which we find a list of twenty-two
steamers—stating tic names—where they were built—the length
in feet—beam in feet—draft in feet—dimensions of cylinders
and wheels—the dip—number of rcvoluti ins per minute--the
route—average passage—loss in landing—speed in statute
miles and in nautical miles, &e. According to that statement
several of the vessels regularly, on an average, steam in an
hour from twelve to fourteen miles, and the Swallow upwards
of sixteen—that is statute miles, which, when reduced into nau-

tical or geographical mil. s, gives somewhat short of fourteen.
Great confusion and misumlerstanding results from omitting
to state whether the distances run are in statute or nautical
miles, between which there is a considerable dif&renee. The
English statute mile containing 1,760 yards, wt.ilst the nauti-
tical or geographical mile comprises 2,0271 yards.
We do not believe that any sailing sessel, large or small,
ever passed through the water at a grea'er rate than twelve
knots or miles in the hour, and we have 'lnn' it doubted by
candid naat'e .1 men whether that speed I as ever been attained.
This limitation, howcv,r, does not arise from the resistance of
the fluid, or how would it be possible for so huge a body LS a
whale, from sixty to a hundred ft et long, and broad in pi oppt_-
Col, to move through the sea at the astonishing speed why?

the voyage from Liverpool to New York and back again in a

either of those ports, or six days in each.
If our speculations should be deemed chimerical, we would

LONDON
FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 21, 1835.

We begin to think that our attacks on the Corn-
laws have done good. The Journals now denounce
them more boldly than they were wont, which is a
good augury of their destruction. The Morning
Chronicle to-day properly speaks of our Corn-law
legislation as absurd and wicked, and says_" the
Corn-laws must be abolished." We echo that cry.
The country cannot retain absurd and wicked legisla-
tion without guilt—there can he no compromise
with crime. 'Who ever heard of a wise and vir-
tuous people tolerating half a robbery and two-thirds
of a murder ? How, then, can they tolerate the half or
any part of the wicked Corn-laws, which are a great
mass of theft, and, starving people out of existence, com-
mit a slow but txtensive and torturing murder ? To
them belong 'all the horrors of war, and none of its
glory. They prevent intercourse between nations—
they de;rastate many lands, as the reader may be con-
vinced, by Dr. BOWRING'S speech at Manchester—
they nourish national hostility, and all the bad
passioas which are conjoined with it—and they
slaughter their thousands and their millions. We
again ask our humane, enlightened, and intelligent
people, who have struck the sword out of the hands of
the executioner, and who will scarcely permit the
life of the greatest criminal to be sacrificed, we again
ask them how long they mean to tolerate this " ab-
surd, wicked," and murderous legislation.
Those persons whose minds are yet imbued with
the anti-commercial theory, that one nation can only
gain because another loses, insist, because other na-
tio::s would gain by the abolition of our Corn-laws,
that we should lose all that they gain. This is
most absurd ; and it might as well be said that
the United. States and England, whose mu-
tual prosperity is so much promoted by the cot-
ton Toanufacture—one producing the raw material
and the other making it into cloth—are plunder-
ing each other. Nations are in this respect just
111:c individuals, and when one of them produces corn,
and the other cloth, their mutual exchange of what
each produces benefits both. Our idle landlords may
plunder both our weavers and our corn-growers, but
foreign nations have no such power. To have our
cloth they must buy it by an equivalent. If, therefore,
they would be benefitted by our buying their corn, me
should certainly he benefired by selling them our
cloth ; and if we were not, why they could not force us
either to sell or buy, and there would be no dealings
between us. The law to prevent the importation of
corn by a duty proceeds on the assumption that so to
import corn is advantageous, or, there being no pow :T
to compel the importation, it would nut take place, and
the law begins by putting an end to that great ad-

vantage.

Now--It is an important question—does putting an
end to that advan•age produce any corresponding ad-
vantage ? The believers in the anti-commercial theory
above alluded to, assert, probably, that the landlords ob-
tain a corresponding advantage; but, as their theory as to
nations has-been overthrown; it seems rational to suppose
that they are wrong as to individuals. Let us hope they
me; otherwise this startling cansequence would arise, that
individuals and classes are benefitted by inflicting
mutual injuries, and committing mutual injustice
That will then be virtue, and murder righteousness ;
the whole moral world will be upset, and IKEY So_
LOMONS anti G REENACRE ought to be honoured
instcad of 'WILBERFORCE and HOWARD. The
Liullords, unlike foreign nations, trespassing on the
the peop'e repose in them, have power
to take away a part of the farmers corn and the
they do take it. That this
wearer!: cloth, and
benefits them we do not believe, any more than
we believe that the trade of the burglar is an
advrioaneous out ; hut we are quite sure that the
landlords are not benefit:et! as much by what they ex-
tort from the others as they would be if they possessed
or acquired an equal quantity of corn and cloth by their
own industry. Nor do sle consider the habits which
their plunder enc.:wage at all beneficial to them. It
is only eonsi,tEnt with the general harmonics of
nature to infer that laws which are intended, like
time Corn-laws, to put an \end to one great
advantagc, should preserve, through all their ramifica-
tions..the mischievous principle in which they
began.
They' cheat the farmers, and promote gambling
amongst, corn dealers, as well as starve the people ;
and thAs the landlords have no interest whatever,

C fiic !IC

either moral or pecuniary, in common with the rest of
society, they cannot be benefited by such absurd,
wicked, and demoralizing legislation.
In conclusin, we must recommend Dr. Bow-
RINQ'S speech at Manchester to the careful perusal
of the reader. It amply confirms the statements we
have made of the ruinous nature of the Corn-laws.

One of our Tory Contemporaries published yestt7_
day a valedictory address of the deputation of the
English Protestant Church in Upper Canada to the
people of this country, signed by the Rev. WILLIAM
BETTRIDGE, a member of the deputation, which a
heavy press of matter alone prevents us from inserting
in our co!umns. Either the Rev. author of this curious
production is one of the most unsophisticated of eccle-
t siastical simpletons, or he is wholly unacquainted with
the state of public opinion upon Church questions in
this country. Of this the " valedictory address" fur-
nishes us with some curious proofs, which, as they
are designed for the information of the faithful, ought
not to be entirely overlooked. In summing up the
deputational labours of himself and colleague siee,-,
their arrival in England the Rev. Gentleman says :
With her Majestu's Government I have used every legitimate
effort to procure a Bishop, and some alleviations to our spiritual
wants. We have brought the state of our Church personally
under the Attention of about 2,000 of our clergy, and one uniform
expression of interest has been the result. The Universities of
Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin have given public proof of
their persuasion that the prosperity of the colonial Members of
the Church is necessary to the well-being of the nationa.
Zion. The Members of both Houses of Parliament have been
supplied with a copy of the " History of the Church in Upper
Canada ;" and from many I have received unequivocal testi-
mony that the subject is cor.sidcred by them as worthy of most
serious consideration. Several Members of both Houses have
openly espo'used the interests of our deserted Zion.
The great trouble which this holy man experiencesin
finding a Bishop, is the best possible proof of the de-
plorable condition of the Church in Upper Canada.
We require not to be informed after this that there are
no episcopal palaces--no well-endowed cathedrals—
no chances of rich translations within sound of the
falls of Niagara. Did these things exist, there would
be no lack of candidates for the mitre, though there
breathed not a single Protestant throughout the whole
extent of British America. The duties of the Epis-
copal Bench are not very onerous in Ireland, and yet
when has there been a deputation from the sister
country praying for the blessing of an additional
Bishop ? Nay, Ireland could at this moment
afford to send eight Bishops to Canada without expos-
ing her Protestant inhabitants to the remotest
chance of a diminution in the amount of spiritual in-
struction which they now receive—without abstracting
an alms from the wallet of the beggar, a day's work
from the labourer, or the fraction of a good example
from the great body of the people. Mr. BETTRIDGE,
with a simplicity rare in modern churchmen, takes the
trouble to inform the public that he made the distressed
state of the Church in Upper Canada known to about
2,000 clergymen in this country, and the result was
" one uniform expression of interest." Expressions
are cheap enough, and, consequently, the Clergy are
never sparing of them. But did these holy men do
nothing more for this perishing transatlantic offshoot
of what Mr. BETTRIDGE, with a strong smack of un-
orthodox enthusiasm calls " the National Zion ?"
We strongly suspect not. They are not fond of placing
their lights under a bushel, and secresy is no part of
the object of the Reverend Deputation. The Univer-
sities were even less liberal than the 2,000 orthodox
Priests ; for whereas the latter made the deputation a
present of their sympathies, the former's donation con-
sisted only of the public avowal of the very question-
able opinion " that the prosperity of the Colonial
Members of the Church is necessary to the well-being
of the National Zion." Not a syllable was uttered by
either party about a voluntary subscription for the
maintenance-of a Bishop. No, no, that would be set-
ting the ignorant laity an ill example. It would be
tantamount to an acknowledgement that the State at
home was too bountiful, and churchmen in general
sufficiently rich, to afford to be moderately charitable.
But proceed we to another section of the address :
We need a Bishop. No Bishop—no Church. Is it right
that the Romish Church should have a Bishop and Priests
maintained at the public expense in tipper Canada, where their
followers form but a small fraction of the population, and that
encouragement should be given to various sectaries in the
province, while to our national Church the right and privilege
of a Bishop should he distinctly refused ? I know we have
one Bishop in Lower Canada; but is he sufficient to take the
Episcopal charge of a country 1,400 miles in length, three
times the size of England, and containing a population of
1,100,000 souls 1

The old complaint with additions. But mark the
felicity with which theßev.Deputy, in the true spirit of
an Irish Prelate, negatively defines that religious body
corporate, the Church—" No Bishop, no Church 1"
Happy Ireland, where Parsons may be caught by the
thousand, and Bishops by the dozen--where a repletion
of Church constitutes the liver complaint of a whole na-
tion. In the opinion of Mr. BETTRIDGE, a Bishop,
like a Sovereign, is a corporation sole—a Christian
community in his own Right Rev, person. We pass
over the plaintive allusion to the privileges enjoyed
by the Canadian Catholics. The meekest Churchmen
soon cry out against the Irish system, when th►e
tables happen to be in danger of turning in favour of
the co-religionists of the victims of English ecclesi-
astical misrule in Ireland. But the spiritual wants of
the Canadians are not confined to a Bishop--though
that to be sure is the master grievance—as may be
gathered from the followed extract from the address :

We need assistance in the maintenance of Ministers, the
restoration of the grant to the " Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel," and an annual grant for clearing portions of
the " Clergy Reserves," for glebes, as the growing wants of
the colony require. Let Christian England be reminded,
even by every hamlet, of its high and holy duty to provide
fur the spiritual instruction of its subjects to the remotest boun-
dary of its possessions. Let all remember, that the evil we
complain of is continually increasing. In every petition let
the prayer be strongly expressed that the Imperial Parliament
would forthwith proceed to the settlement of the question of
the " Clergy Reserves,"—because so long as .the subject re-
mains in its present state there can be no peace in the province
—because the Legislative Council have unanimously and re-
putedly deprecated the agitation of the question in the Pro-
vince, and a large majority in the House of Assembly have
constantly dissented from the method of disposal proposed by
the majority, and because the Imperial Legislature alone CPII
definitively decide the question. The public need only read
the Act (31 Geo. 111. c. 31, sec. 35-42.) to be persuaded,
that to the clergy of the Church of England alone these
lands belong. I am prepared also to show from the corres-
pondence of the Government of the day, with General Simcoe,
the Lieutenant-Governor of the province, that such was the
only construction of the Act then thought of. Let no " ap-
propriation clause" be forced upon us.
At last the cat is out of the bag. The Rev. De-
puty, in the name of the Clergy of Upper Canada,
" wants no appropriation clause"--in other words,
he wants no inquiry into the actual revenues of the
Church, with a view to proportion them to the spiri-
tual necessities of the people. He does not want the
Government to ascertain how much the Church pro-
perty may be worth, that its amount may be increased
if found inadequate to the proper support of a Chris-
ti in Ministry. But as regards an " appropriation
clause," which would further enrich the Clergy with-
out inquiry, it is quite clear that the Rev. Gentleman
would offer no objection to it 3 adoption. A law to
ascertain the amount of property enjoyed by an alien
Priesthood in Ireland, excites horror even in the
bosom of a Canadian divine ; and yet we would
lay any wager that an Act to rob the people
of En iand for the maintenance of a dozen
Bishops, where even one is thought unnecessary,
would not call forth a single remonstrance on the
part of the Clergy ! To ascertain the exact amount of
a priest's income is a sin against the Holy Ghost; but
to rob a layman, whether believer or unbeliever, to
enrich the ecclesiastical larder, is an act meritorious in
the intention, and doubly so in the execution. The
concluding paragraph exhibits much of the simplicity
of expression which pervades this document :
'lti conclusion, may I be permitted to express the hope

that some of my brethren in the m'riistry, who in our personal
interviews have exhibited the most lively sympathy in our
need, will be led to offer themselves as labourers in this most
deserted portion of the Lord's ♦ineyari ? How thankful
should I be to renew our intercourse in Upper Canada; and to
assist them, by my experience of th country, in entering on
the sphere appointed for their future ministrations I"

Theißev. Mr. BETTRIDGE need only consult the
s,
a i'c:amns of the Times, to put himself in
L,le way of obtaining as many parsons as would load
the Great Western. Titles to orders are matters
of daily traffic, and curacies, " in or near
town," arc objects of perpetual barter or sale.
Even the very number in which his valedictory address
appeared contained two of them. In conclusion, we
do not despair of the progress of the ecclesiastical,
and even of the episcopal, branch of the Protestant
Church in Upper Canada. The fling at " the ap-
propriation clause" embodies the seeds of a promise
that the Canadian Priesthood have a rich harvest of
Tithes in prospective. Things might evidently be
worse with them even now, and apparently would, were
Parliament to be at all inquisitive. The hint will not
be lost upon the Universities, and Upper Canada may
be already said to add to her other blessings the pecu-
liar advantages of as many mitres and crosiers as she
has thousands of pounds to spare in their acquisition.
Ireland, at a pinch, will contribute a few ; and as
there is little to be done in Upper Canada, we venture
to recommend the Irish Bishops as peculiarly well qua-
lified for a life of indolence.

We understand that the Reformers of Southwark,
who reside in the extensive parish of St. George's,
will dine together at the Bridge House Hotel, in the
Borough, on Monday next, when Mr. Alderman
HUMPHERY and Mr. HARVEY have engaged to at-
tend. As we do not doubt that the latter Gentleman
will fully explain his own political position, as wr'll as
give his views generally upon the state of parties, we
shall be careful to furnish our readers with a full
account of the proceedings.

We insert from the Times some just observations
on the Post-office, urging the propriety of dispatch-
ing a morning mail from London at eight o'clock.
Such a plan would, we believe, very much promote
the interests of the public, and they would be still
farther served, if a morning packet were despatched
from Liverpool for Dublin every day about seven
o'clock. That additional accommodation, with due
diligence on the part of the Post-office authorities,
would enable all the letters and papers which left Lon-
don one evening, to be despatched from Dublin on the
next, for all parts of Ireland. We would recommend
the Post-office to be diligent in the matter, for we are
not quite sure that it will be able, by means of laws, to
prevent competition, unless it meet the wants of com-
merce, and show itself ready to profit by all the facili-
ties of intercourse which can be opened. The world
is astir and alive, and the Post-office must not remain
dormant or go to sleep.

For the following intelligence from the West Indies,
we are indebted to a Second Edition of the Times of
this morning •
The Sandbach, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday, sailed
from Demerara on the .sth ult. The accounts she brings from
that colony are very favourable. The Ist of August was ob-
served as a holyday, and it passed over in a manner highly
creditable to the liberated apprentices. There was not the
slightest disturbance : all wag harmony and joy. The plan-
ters and negroes were adjusting the rate of wages. io far
the adjustment had been amicably conducted. The current
rate demanded by the labourers was ten dollars per month,
which some planters had given, but which others had refused,
deeming it too high. The conduct of the negroes continued
unexceptionable, and not a doubt was felt that the adjustment
would be made to the satisfaction of all parties. The recently
imported Hill Coolies " worked well."

The Moniteur Parisien of Wednesday, flatly con-
tradicts the report published by the Journal de Paris

of the preceding day, relative to the restoration of
amicable relations between France and Mexico. The
blockade is, therefore, to be continued. We regret
that the arbitration of some mutually friendly Power
is not solicited, with a view to put an end to a dispute
which threatens to be interminable.

The Grand Council of the Canton of Soleure has
likewise instructed its Deputies to oppose. the demands
of France. The pear is fast ripening in that quarter.
There is no news of any interest from Spain, in
these Papers.
The following extracts from the Journals are more
than usually important, but want of space prevents us
from offering any comment upon them :---
THE SUGAR TRADE.—The Chamber of Commerce of Bor-
deaux has addressed a letter to the Minister of Commerce on
the Colonial Sugar question. The Members follow the ex-
ample of those of Havre in stating, that if they were to look at
the inutility of their efforts for the last ten years in this matter,
they should remain quiet on the question ; but, that the con-
dition of the Colonies is no longer tolerable, and that their
duty is to make a strong representation to the Minister.
They point out to his notice, that if the Colonists go on
contending with the home-growers under their present dis-
advantages, the ruin of the former is inevitable. The one
hundred kilogrammes of sugar are worth in the Colonies about
481., and this quantity entering France pays 49f. 50c. en-
trance duty, besides the expense of commission, &c., amount-
ing to between 28f. and 30f., so that the total impost on
Colonial Sugars amounts to 78f. or 801. per 100 kilogrammes
—that iF, to 162 per cent. upon its primitive value in the
islands. On the other hand, home-made sugar is charged
with only 16f. 50c. duty per 100 kilogrammes. The mem-
bers ask whether this can be called justice, and whether one
article of Frcnch produce ought thus to be protected against
another. They point out the advantages which the home-
growers have already experienced by their long immunity from
imposts, and call to the mind of the Minister the statement of
Admiral de :doges, as to the stagnation in the sugar trade of
the colonies, observing that as long as the present system con-
tinues, nobody II ill undertake to despatch vessels for cargoes
of sugar to the West Indian colonies. If, however, they add,the
colonies cannot dispose of their produce, it is impossible that
they can pay for produce sent from France. Hitherto p►o-
duce to the value of i0,000,000f. has been annurlly exported
thither, and the transport of these. commodities, added to that
of 80,000 000 of kilogrammes of sugar brought to France
in return, has occupied 400 vessels, 6,000 seamen, and 200,000
tons of freightage, being nearly one-half of the whole mari-
time trade of Fiance (coasting trade not included). They
ask what is to become of the interests mixed up in this trade
if the trade itself be abandoned? and they terminate their

letter by cxpres,ing their conviction that Government will
listen to their representations, and " will free itself from the
selfish demands of which its feebleness has so long forced it
to bear the yoke ;" that the duties on colonial sugars will be
lowered, and the two species of produce, home and colonial,
will be put upon a footing of perfect equality. The Chamber
of Commerce of Marseilles has made a similar representation
to the Minister of Commerce on the sume question, and de-
mands the placing of the two kinds of sugar on exactly the
same level as to the duties.

STATE or SPAIN.—The Journal de Paris publishes an ar-
ticle on the present critical situation of Spain, which inspires
this journal with apprehensions, not for the ultimate result,
but for the duration of the civil war. The insubordination and
mutiny of Espartero's troops, when the General was on the
point of attacking Estella, the Journal de Paris very justly
remarks, have dope more for the Pretender's cause than the
mountains and rocks of Biscay and Guipuscoa, According to
this journal, one of the most lamentable features of the late oc-
currences is, that the example set by the troops has been imi-
tated by the constituted authorities. The addresses forwarded
to the Queen Regent by the Constitutional Municipality of
Madrid, and the provincial deputations, this print regards as
worse than useless, as mere declamation and mutual recrimi-
nation can never re-establish the affairs of a Government, or
put an end to civil gar. The union of all fractions of the
constitutional party in Spain, the restoration of order and firm-
ness, prudence, and liberality on the part of the Government,
arc, according► to this journal, the only measures which can
again induce fortune to march with the Queen Regent's ban-
ner. In conclusion, the Journal de Paris thinks that the
neglect of the French Government towards Spain is in a great
measure the cause of the deplorable condition in which that
unhappy land is now placed.
DOWNFALL OF Cnacow. —A letter of the Bth inst. from
Cracow, which we find in the Commerce, states that the Ple-
nipotentiaries of the three protecting Powers had refused to
sanction a congratulatory address which the members of the
Senate of Cracow were desirous of forwarding to the King of
the French on the occasion of the birth of the Count do Paris.
The object of the Senate is stated to have been principally to
remind Europe that a Republic in Cracow still exists, and to
recal to the recollection of the French Ministry the expediency
of sending thither a French Consul or resident. In reply to
the demand which the Senate submitted through its Presi-
dent, M. Haller, the Plenipotentiaries stated through the re-
presentative of Russia, that •" the Senate of Cracow could
send neither deputation nor congratulatory letter to the French
monarch ; that France was nothing to that body, the treaty of
1815 having ceased to exist ; that the French Ministry had
abandoned all claim to protect the Republic of Cracow ; and
that even were it to address a congratulatory letter to Louis

Philippe, the French Government neither could nor would
receive it."

MOVEMENTS OP THE ENDLIMII FLEET IN VIM MEDITEE-
RANEAN. —The ships of the English squadron—the Rodney,
,
aria venibrohe, lett this port on Sunday last. Their
de,tination is not changed, as was reported; they are to con-
tinue their voyage to the Dardanelles. The Rhadamanthus
sailed the same day ( Aug 26) for Smyrna ; and the steamer
the Confidence went with despatches to Palermo, from whence
she has already returned. Sir R. Stopford sailed on Thurs-
day, the 30th of August. He was on board the Princess
Charlotte, and had with him the Vanguard and Asia, with the
brig Walsh. It is said he also is gone to the Dardanelles,
touching at Athens.
A letter from Constantinople quotes advises of the 10th
from B)gdad, stating that the Pacha had been seriously
alarmed at the advance of Mehemet Ali's General, Kerschuk
Pacha, towards Bagdad and the Euphra.es, at the head of 38
battalions, after the pacification of the Hedjaz. The Pacha
had dispatched some Tatars to the Turkish Seraskier with
t!le intulligence, and the latter had immediately concentrated
his troops, and approached: frontier of Syria.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. I.—lt appears, from ac-
counts that may be depended upon, that considerable levies
of troops are making in Russia. It is said that one man in
forty of the entire population is to be taken. The numerous
couriers, too, that have crossed the frontier since the absence
of the Emperor, indicate the approach of important events.—

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY).

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice VAUGHAN and Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
THE LATE UNFORTUNATE DUEL ON WIMBLEDON COM-
mont.—This morning having been appointed by the Judges for
the trial of Mr. Broughton, the second of the unfortunate Mr
MTfin, who- was shot in the duel on Wimbledon Common, at
an early hour the Court was crowded with resi,ectable persons,
and the bench displayed an array of Magistrates seldom
witnessed.
Shortly after ten o'clock the Judges took their seats on the
bench, and the' different parties connected with the late fatal
affray were called upon.
John Young and Henry Webber answered to their names,
and immediately took their places at the bar.
Mr. BODKIN then said that their L,.rdships, upon his appli-
cation, had appointed that day for the trial of Mr. Broughton,
who was concerned in the late fatal duel, but in cons q tette°
of the illness of Mr. Clarkson, who was his Counsel, it had
ben thought desirable that he should not surrender.
Mr. Justice VAUGHAN said that he would have been per-
fectly safe in the hands of Mr. Bodkin ; but as be Lad not
surrendered, the Court could not try him.
The Jury having been sworn,
Young and Webber were indicted, together' With Eliot and
others, with the wilful murder of Mr. Mirfin. They are two
highly respectable and gentlemanly young men in appearance,
and pleaded Not Guilty in a firm and distinct voice.
Mr. CHAMBERS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
ADOLPHUS and Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prisoners.
Mr. CHAMBERS, in opening the case for the proseetc ion,
said that there could be no doubt that rumours had reached
the ears of the Jury as to the circumstances of the present
case ' • but he was quite satisfied that it was not necessary for
him to ask the Jury to dismiss those rumours from their minds.
The inquiry concerned the death of a gentleman who
had received a fatal wound in a duel. With regard to
the practice of duelling it was not his intention to off a-
any observations, but he was bound to state distinctly and
plainly that the law of England did not enter into the
nice distinctions of honour that constituted the code of duel-
ling. It was not necessary for him to state that any party,
whether a second or principal, who participated in a duel, was
guilty of murder. The two prisoners at the bar were indicted
with counselling, aiding, and assisting Mr. Elict in the duel,
and as such being equally guilty with him. Ile should prove
most distinctly that the two prisoners at the bar were present
when Mr. Mirfia received his death-wound; and such being
the case, the question for the jury would be, whether they
were there accidentally, or were aiding and assisting Mr.
Eliot ? The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the
circumstances of the unfortunate affair, and called the fol.
lowing witnesses :
Thos. Gotobed examined by Mr. CHAMBERS-Was a proctor
residing at 82, Great Russell-street. He knew the prisoner
at the bar, as well as Mr. Eliot. He believed the prisoners
at the bar to be gentlemen following no profession. The pri-
soners and Mr. Eliot dined with him the day before the duel.
Mr. Eliot and Young went away together on that day. They
stated that they were going to the Saloon, to which place
witness and Webber followed them. Witness and Webber
stopped there about ten minutes. The Saloon was a place
where supper and refreshments might be had. Witness saw
Mr. Young there, but did not recollect seeing Mr. Eliot.
There was no quarrel while he was there.
Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS-Had driven Mr. Webber
to the Saloon in his cab. Had known him two years, and be-
lieved him to be a quiet peaceable young man.
By Mr. PHILLIPS-The Saloon was a place where men and
women met and had supper.. It was about ten minutes' walk
from Bow-street. Had known the Saloon for the last seven
or eight years.
Josesph Hole and Henry Hunt were called, but did not

appear.
Robert Matthews, was a waiter in August last at the Sa-
loon. On the morning of the 22d there was a quarrel there
between Mr. Eliot and Mr. Broughton. Several gentle-
men were standing round at the time, but witness did net
know them.
Mr. ADOLPHUS declined cross-examining the witness.
Hunt was again called and appeared. Was a maker of
billiard tables, in Cross-street, Golden-square. Knew Mr.
Francis Lionel Eliot. Saw him at Feuillardes' Hotel on
the 22d of the month of August last. The two
prisoners were there also. After he had been there a short
time in conversation with Eliot, Young and Webber joined
them. Knew a person of the name of Broughton; saw him
in the Coffee-room on the morning of the 22d. ; saw him
go to the table where the two prisoners and Eliot were.
He slightly bowed to them, asked some questions, and then
sat down. When Eliot first entered the Coffee-room he
came up and addressed witness, and fearing that he should be
overheard he took witness into the passage. The whole of
the convex sation respected money that Eliot owed the witness.
Richard Fowling was a post-boy at the Robin Hood, Re-
gent-street. Went the 22d August to Feuillarde's Hotel with a
carriage and pair. Three gentlemen got into the carriage,but he
could not say that either of the prisoners were there. After the
three gentlemen got into the carriage, he drove to Wimbledon
Common. On the road saw two gentlemen in a one-horse
gig. When they arrived at the Common, the gentlemen got
out. There was at that time one gig and a gentleman's cab
there. Two gentlemen got out of the gig, and one gentle-
man got out of the street cab. One of the gentlemen stopped
with him, and the other walked away. Shortly aftervvards the
other gentleman followed. Witness then went into the hollow,
where he saw two gentlemen firing pistols at each other ; they
then walked away from the spot at which they had been
standing, went forward to several other persons, and then
returned back again► to the same spot, and fired again
at each other. Witness saw one of the gentlemen fall.
into the arms of another. The person who fell was not the
gentleman who got out of the carriage he had driven. The
party he had driven there then walked up the bill, got into the
carriage, and witness drove off; he having been directed to
make the best of his way to town. After they had got a short
distance, one of the party jumped out of the carriage, and said
he would see the young man righted ; upon which another
gentleman said he would do so himself, as he could not be im-
plicated. The person who first jumped out was the one who
fought the duel. Witness set the latter gentleman down in
the Edgeware-road ; the carpet bag was then taken out. Could
not swear to either of the prisoners at the bar.
Edman Scott was a surgeon, residing. at 22, Rockingham-
row, Kent-road. Knew the late Mr. Charles Mirth', who
resided at No. 2, Pleasant-place, West-square,Lambeth. On
the 21st witness dined with the unfortuate deceased. Ever
since witness knew he had lived as a private gentleman. Mr.
Mirfin went out in company with Mr. Broughton about 11
o'clock that night. On the following morning witness saw
Mr. Broughton in his (witness's) bed-room. Witness went
with Broughton to breakfast with Mirfin. In consequence of a
conversation they had together witness went with Mr. Broughton
to the London-road. Witness got into a cab, and Mr. Mirfin and
Mr. Broughton went forward in the former's gig. When they
arrived at the telegraph at Wimbledon they met a carriage
with several persons in it, and among them were the two pri-
soners at the bar. Mr. Mirfin and Mr. Broughton drove past
the carriage, and Mr. Broughton got out and spoke to one of
the gentlemen, who was walking behind the carriage. Mr.
Broughton then got again into the gig, which was driven in
one direction, and the carriage in another. When they arrived
at the mill witness saw a gentleman's cabriolet, but no person
was in it but there were three or four gentlemen upon the
ground; the prisoners were two of them. Mr. Mirtin, Mr.
Broughton, himself, and the other gentlemen, then went
down the hill. The carpet bag was then produced, and Mr.
Broughton and another gentleman tossed for the choice of
ground. The other gentleman was not either of the prisoners
at the bar. Mr. Broughton won the choice, and the ground
was marked out. They then tossed fur who should charge the
pistols, and Mr. Eliot's friend was successful. Two pair of
pistols were then loaded, one pair belonging to Mr. Mirfin,
and the other to Mr. Eliot. Witness carried Mr. Mirfin's
pistols to the ground. After the pistols were loaded Mr.
Broughton went up to fetch Mr. Mirfie. Some little alterca-
tion took place about the loading of the pistols. Wit-
ness would not swear that the two prisoners at the bar
were sufficiently near to bear the altercation. They
did not interfere. The interference of Mr. Eliot with
respect to the loading of the pistols, eaufed the altercation,
and witness, upon finding that he was one of the principals, re-
fused to allow him to remain near them. Mr. Eliot th, n re-

tired thirty or forty yards. As soon as the pistols were loaded
they then tossed to know who was to give the word of com-
mand. Neither of the prisoners acted as second to Mr. Eliot;
one of the prisoners was standing close by when the pistols
were loaded, but he did not interfere in any way whatever.
The one that was close by was Webber. Could not swear
that Young was present either at the loading of the pistols r r
the firing. After the pistols were loaded Mr. Mirfia and Mr.
Eliot were placed upon their ground. Eliot's pistols were
then delivered to them by their respective seconds. Witness,
together with the seconds, retired several paces. Some
one then said " Gentlemen, are you ready ? Stop I" which
was agreed upon as the signal for firing. raey both
fired and the ball struck against the crown of Mr. Mirfin's hat.
The seconds then interfered, but the principals remained in
their places. Some conversation took place between the
seconds and prsncipals, but what it was witness did not know.
Witness then heard Mr. Mirfin insist upon a second shot.
Witness heard enough of the conversation to know that an at-
tempt was made to make a reconciliation ; but Mr. Mit fin
would not hear of it. Witness believed that Mr. Eliot would
have made a verbal apology, but Mr. Mirfin refused to receive
any apology unless it was written.
Mr. Justice VAUGHAN observed that it was a great pity the
seconds did not take the matter on themselves.
Examination resumed. —Witness directed Mr. Mirfin's at-
tention to his hat having been struck by his adversary's ball,
but he insisted upon having another shot. Mr. Mirfin's pistols
were then delivered to the parties, and they fired. Eliot fired
first, but not until after the signal was given. Witness thought
that Mr. Mirfin's pistol was fired after he had received the fatal
shot. Witness did not at first perceive that either was hit.
Mr. Mirfin walked towards witness; he bad his left band on
his right side, and he observed to witness that he was wounded.
Witness asked where, and he then pointed to the piece, but
did not speak. Witness said 1 ant extremely sorry, and added,
" Good bye, God bless you." To which Mirfin said, " Good
bye, old fellow; God bless you." Witness then assisted him
to the cab. Mr. Broughton asked witness if the wound was
serious; to which he replied that he was sorry to say
it was. Mr. Eliot and his second looked on, but
did not say a word. Broughton then asked what he should
do, to which witness replied, the sooner you leave the ground
the better. Mr. Mirfin died in less than ten minutes. The I
wound was between the fifth and sixth rib, and was occasioned I
by the pistol ball.
Cross-examed by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Went there as the friend
of Mirfin. Knew the nature of the errand be was going upon. !
Had been twice- out upon sitni:ar occasions, once as principal, I
and once as surgeon. About two years ago went out with

Mr. W(bb. He acted as principal then. Upon the late °*-0
