GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP.

olden time—of baronial and feudal legislation—a law made 600 years
ago' before England had a colony—and when her sway was confined to
her own island—a low totally unfit for the present day, and differing as
much from the spirit of your present laws as the feelings, minds, sad
pursuits of the men of that day differ from those of this.
It is a law, my Lord, which would deprive you, and every other per-
son in this numerous assembly, from emigrating to any country where
reasons political or pecuniary might point out, and bind you to the coun-
try, where by the chance medley of circumstances you were born, in
fetters as strong as those that bound the Saxon serf to till the farm of the
thane whose born thral he was.
Is it possible, my Lord, that at this advanced stage of civilization such
a law would be enforced—a prerogative which the Crown of other na-
tions holds over their born subjects, and one which every enlightened
being in the world, and particularly those residing in that independent
republic of which I am a citizen, will and .night to look upon with
horror and detestation ?
I protested on my triel against the jurisilir, lan of this Court; that I
could not be guilty of treason, not being a sunjast of Great Britain, but
a citizen of the United States; and that if I Ilan committed an offence, it
was one agaigst the law of nations, and that I could hot be tried in this
province, but in England, or the country of which I was a citizen.
It was admitted, my Lord, by the Court, that I was a citizen of the
United States, but not less a subject, having been born in Ireland ; that
being born a subject, no act of mine could make me aught else; that
Great Britain could, notwithstanding my citizenship, hold me as a
surest. Such doctrine, certainly, places the naturalized citizens of the
United States in a singular predicament, obliged as they are to do
military duty as well as the native born, without distinction. In event
of war, if they were oreered to invade the British dominion, by refusing
they would be punished by the one Government as for insubordination
and cowardice, or obeying, be punished by the other as a traitor.
A precedent was quoted by the Attorney-General in the case of Eneas
McDonald, which somewhat resembled mine. As your Lordship re-
marked, he was found guilty also, but not executed, and this hap..
pened niiiiity-three years ago. Since that time what a change has taken
place among nations, as among men : More liberal and extended
views have been held, both by the Governors and the governed; a new
nation has sprung up from English colonists, with a population of up-
wards of 17,000,000, one-fourth of whom are in the same situation as
myself, having been born under a Monarchy, but who have since become
citizens of a free and independent Republic, whose Constitution was
flamed directly opposite to the law laid down by this Court—" once a
subject, always a subject."
When tried, my Lord, I rested my defence on that ground. I did
not call evidence to prove, as I might have done, that when pursuing
my course from an American port, in an American schooner, and going
to an American island, end in the regular channel and thoroughfare
which all regular vessels take tast pass and repass from the ports of the
states of New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin, I was
fired upon in repeated vollies of muskets, . aaur Militia, Indians, and
Negroes, of Malden, and when drawn upon ; ,a.r shores by the incle-
mency of the weather, and my men killed and a be the galling
fire of 300 or 400 concealed riflemen, I fired upon them i... .sefence
—this I would have proved, and if your Lordship could riaia. . r.
nearly all of which was admitted by the very evidence brought agana,
me by my captors, as they styled themselves—they, even -they, ad-
mitted the greater part.
And now, my Lord, after three months severe imprisonment, the
greater part of which time was past In chains, I have been tried for
" not haying the fear of God in my heart, nor weighing the allegiance
I owed her Majesty the Queen"—an allegiance which I did not consider
myself to owe, and which 15 or 16 years before, I have solemnly sworn
in open court, to renounce in the manner prescribed by the constitution
of the United States.
And what, my Lord, was the verdict of the jury ? A conditional
one. Their discriminating minds plainly perceived that I could not be
the citizen of one country, and the subject of another—that was incom-
patible, and they gave in their verdict, which to me seems a strange
one—" If I was a subject, I was guilty of treason." lam not a subject,
therefore I am not guilty of treason.
I am free from saying, my Lord, or of wishing myself understood to
say, that I have not done wrong, and acted contrary to the laws of my
own country. But in extenuation of my offence, I would state to your
Lordship that in the middle of December last, there came to Detroit a
vast number of men, who fled from this country ; many of them wet e
poor, hungry, and naked. They had fled from their homes and fami-
lies at a moment's noise. They told the story of their sufferings and
their wrongs. These stories were circulated by the press, and belies cid
by all; while your magistrates, and others in authority on our frontier,
confirmed in the minds of many the same by their insulting and over.
bearing conduct towards some of our citizens, whom business had ire.
duced to go over among them.
Then came the thrilling news of the cutting out of the steam-boat Ca-
roline at Schlossar, an indignity committed on our national honour—an
insult on our national flag. Before that time, my Lord, nothing was
done by the citizens of Michigan, nor was there anytning intended to
be done, but contributing to the comfort of the unfortunate men who
were said to be sufferers in the same cause, like the fathers of our own
revolution, of 7G. Reports were also circulated by persons residing in
Sandwich and Malden, that they were raising the Indians and refugee
negro slaves residing there to burn Detroit and other places that had at'
forded an asylum to those whom they called rebels.
Excitement then pervaded every mind, and I, my Lord, in common
with others, in an evil time, rushed headlong in committing a breach
of the Constitution of my own country, and for which I am amenable to
her own laws.
To you, may Lord, whom both parties acknowledge to be a humane
man and an upright judge, the melancholy task of pronouncing the sen-
tence of death, in any case, must be a painful one. How much more so
must it be in this instance? Here no atrocious acts were committed, no
murder nor arson, by men who,through the misrepresentations of others,
and from the natural indignation arising from the outrage committed on
their and their country's honour, and I can say from the best and purest
motives that could actuate the human heart, have been hurried into an
excess which a few men, to magnify their own prowess, have augmented
into oneof the most horrible and atrocious acts of piracy.
I will not detain your Lordship any longer, but would request you, if
consistent with your duty as a judge, to favour me so far as to delay the
final execution of your sentence sufficiently long that time may be had
to lay my case before the proper tribunal of the home Government, and
have your Sovereign's pleasure thereon.

On Wednesday next, the 30th, the day on which
her Majesty honours his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the three
gates leading into Hyde-park at Piccadilly, Kensington, and Cumber_
land-gate, will be open for carriages going and returning. Carriages will
return by the Uxbridge-road, and through Cumberland-gate; but no
carriage, except the Royal carriages, will be permitted to return through
the Kensington gate.

CHURCH-RATES.--We noticed yesterday morning
that a meeting was convened for Friday (to morrow) morning at ten, to
attempt to make a church.rate for the parish of Lambeth. The follow-

FRIGHTFUL CASE.—We (the Dublin Evening
Post) have another melancholy instance in our Exchequer reports this
day of the working of the tithe system in Ireland. A respectable trades-
man of the name of Tobin, residing in the town of Michelstown, issued
by the Rev. Richard Hastings Graves, along with twenty others, for
the paltry sum of 11. 3s. 4id. Being only tenant from year to year, he
clearly is not liable, according to Stanley's Act ; but, in consequence of
his holding about half an acre of bleach-ground, under some agreement
or other, there is some doubt as to his liability to about three shillings
tithes at farthest. He is sued, however, in the Court of Exchequer, and
all the ponderous machinery of that Court is brought to bear upon him.
What, therefore, is he to do ? 'she to submit to the demand, and i,ay the
debt and costs in the first instance, or have recourse to the ordinary prac-
tice of the Court, to clear himself? The first course would fasten him to
an illegal demand for life, and the second would entail costs incalculable
upon him. Well, how does he act ?To save himself from the ruthless
grasp of the Commissioners of Rebellion, he puts in a short answer, barely
sufficient to set forth his case, and to swear to it. Tobin stated in his
affidavit, that, from the time he swore his answer, he never beard of the
cause until he was served with the decree, and arrested, on the 17th of
February last, for two hundred and eight-five pounds nine shillings and
eight.pence costs, including the entire demand against him and the
others. Let it, therefore, go forth to the world, that this respectable
and sinless man now lies in gaol, at the suit of a Minister of the Gospel,
for a sum which now tar exceeds 300!., to recover an original demand for
11. 3s. 41t1., to the tithe of which he was never liable.

We trust the rumour is erroneous that any of the
nobility intend leaving town previous to the Coronation, owing to its
being stripped of much of its proper splendour, as such a step would
be in some degree defeating their own obj:ct, and, at all events,
making " bad worse."—Morning Herald.

THE GREAT RADICAL LiEIUON-
STRATION AT GLASGOW.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDRNT).

According to the plan of Radical agitation for Universal Suffrage,
Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, no property qu ,lification, and
wages for attendance in Parliament, originated in Birmingham, and
warmly entered into by the working men of Glasgow, this great de-
monstration of the moral and physical force of the masses took place on
Glasgow green on Monday last. The procession mustered on the Green
at eleven o'clock, forenoon, and proceeded to Parkhead, at the east CH
trance to the city, in order to meet Mr. Attwood and the other gentle-
men of the Birmingham deputation. It is scarcely possible to estimate
with any great degree of precision the numbers of which the procession
was composed. It certainly was inferior to the first display in 1831,
but still it was an imposing spectacle, the more especially when it was
recollected that the whole was got up by the workmen themselves,
without aid—it may be said without countenance—from the middle
ranks. The men walked from four to six deep, in close order, and at a
quick pace; and the whole procession took upwards of an hour and a
half to pass any given point. The music was abundant tend excellent,
and the banners numerous. Among the flags we observed one from
Strathaven, that had waved over the champions of " the Covenant," at
the battle of Drumclog.
The procession moved along Duke-street,George-street, Queen. street,
Argyle-street, Trongate-street, and London-street, to the Green, whey-
by threw o'clock there weregathercd together an assemblage of human
beings, such as to impart the highest sublimity to the scene. On ores-.
sions of this kind estimates of numbers are often made, not so much with
reference to truth, as to the wishes of the parties who make them. With
respect to this display we can only state, and we do it with contid ence,that
if it were tree that 150,000 welcomed Earl Durham toGlasgow in 1834,
nearly as many turned out on Monday in support of Radicalism.
Mr. Tuaxt,a, of Thrush grove, a member of the City Council, hav-
ing been called to the Chair, several Glasgow workmen addressed the
multitude in moving the resolutions and petition to Parliament, and,
on thanks being voted to the Birmingham Deputation for their pr..sence
and assistance.

Mr. ATTWOOD came forward, and was received with loud cheers, beat-
ing of drums, waving of hats, and other demonstrations of hearty ay.
plause. Mr. Attwood dwelt with much emphasis on tire distress and
destitution to which the industrious classes of the community are pe-
riodically subjected, and to what he called the utt:r failure of the Re-
form Act in securing for the people good legislation. He then an-
nounced his plan of agitation, of which the chief features are the fol-
lowing. He calls upon Glasgow, and every city and town in the
kingdom, to get up numerously signed petitions to Parliament for
universal suffrage, &c. He calculates on obtaining at least two millions of
signatures to these petitions. They are to be repeated again and again
till Parliament is forced to take them up ; and should they be ultimately
thrown aside, then the working men of the whole kingdom, together
with such of the middle classes as may join them, will proclaim a solemn
and a sacred strike, during which no work shall be performed in Bri-
tain, but every heart, and every head, and every arm, shall be directed
to the prosecution of the people's rights.
The other gentlemen from Birmingham, Messrs. Muntz, Edmunds,
and Douglas, followed in the same strain; and Mr. Murphy and Dr.
Wade spoke as a deputation from the Working Men's Association of
London. The meeting dispersed with the same order in which they had
assembled, Captain Miller, superintendent of the City PoliX, acting, to the
highest satisfaction of all, as Grand Marshal.
The banquet, or levee, in the evening, was attended by about six
hundred, all apparently of the working classes Mr. Moir, tea mer-
chant, occupied the Chair, supported on the right by Mr. Attwood,
Mr. r, of Thrushgrove, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Douglas, and Mr. Col-
lins ; on the iett Ly tire l'/!war,n, rf 11,.!
ton, Dr. Wade, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Edmonds The ttev. Iva.
Edwards said grace with much solemnity and good taste, after which a
short time was allowed for the discussion of the viands, and then the
business of the evening commenced. Mr. Moir made an excellent
speech, into which we catinot enter in this short sketch. Mr. Turner
said he had dined with the magistrates since the meeting on the Green,
and they had expressed great satisfaction at the manner in which the
affair had been conducted; Captain Miller's speech being to the effect,
that no meeting at which lie had been present was conducted in a
better spirit. Mr. Attwood explained at some length his views of the
currency question ; and Dr. Wade made two or three good hits at
Dr. Chalmers. Mr. Douglas made a humorous and most effective
speech; Mr. Murphy elicited rounds of applause ; arid Mr. Collins, who
has gained great respect in Glasgow by the manner in which he has
conducted his mission from Birmingham, closed the meeting in his usual
quiet, sensible, and most attractive style.
Without entering on the question agitated, we may safely assert that
there never was a display in Glasgow to equal that of Monday. There
have been occasions when more noisy enthusiasm was manifested, and
when there was exhibited a greater amount of paraphernalia—the
wealthy among the middle classes taking part in tire movement ; but
never before did the workmen of themselves make such an array of
mcral and physical energy as wa, presented on Monday, on the Green
of Glasgow.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN
RUSSELL, HER MAJESTY'S SECRETARY OF
STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT.

THE MEMORIAL OF THE UNDERSIGNED ELECTORS OF

THE BOROUGH OF STROUD.

Your Memorialists beg to address your Lordship cn a subject which
is in their view of paramount importance, with the respect doe to your
Lordship's station, talents, and character—at the same time with the
candour to which so large a proportion of your Lordship's constituents
are entitled in addressing their Representative in Parliament.
Your Memorialists, in common with a very considerable part of the
British nation, deeply deplore the result of the motion lately introduced
into Parliament on the subject of Negro Apprenticeship. With so much
of the moral and religious feeling of this great empire brought to bear
on that question, we did cherish the hope of obtaining justice for the
nation and for the enslaved apprentices, which would only be a tardy
discharge of the debt due to humanity and religion, every principle of
which has been long outraged by the accumulated oppression of the
negro : while, from your Lordship's well-known attachment to liberty,
civil and religious, considered in connection with the unequivocal de-
monstration of strong and conscientious feeling which has been ex-
pressed on the part of your constituents, permit your Memorialists to
say that they did also hope that your Lordship might be found among
those whose views on this topic are congenial with their own.
Your Memorialists, after directing their serious and best attention to
the points at issue, and with all the deference which it becomes them
to cherish towards the opinions formed by your Lordship and your
Right Hon. Colleagues, cannot be convinced that any contract entered
into with the planters by the people of England would be violated by
the immediate and entire liberation of their enslaved fellow subjects in
the colonies.

Your Memorialists beg to add that only from conviction of duty can
they be induced to address their Representatives in such terms on this
painful subject, and to declare that the feelings and the suffrages of very
many of your Lordship's supporters will become greatly alienated if,
on a question so deeply interesting to them, their views are not repre.
sented by their Members in the people's House of Parliament.

Stroud, May 18, 1838.
Presented by Mr. JOSEPH PARTRIDGE.
Mr. SAMUEL S. MARLING.
The above was signed by 653 electors, a very considerable majority
of the whole, in the short space of two days.
The letter to Mr. Scrope ist substance the same. His name and
style of address being substituted for that of Lord J. Russell.

The following table is extracted from the log-book of the Great
II extern on her outw.lrd voyage, from which it will be perceived that
her greatest run in 24 hours was 243 miles, and her shortest 183, making
a daily average of 215, and an hourly average of 9 miles. Considering
the unfavourable state of the weather, and the strong head winds she
had to contend against, the performance is very good. On the Atlantic
she made up to the packet ship of the Ist of April (which left Li. erpool
eight days before her), and sailed round her, while the crew and pas-
senger, gave three cheers.

" Bristol, May 22, 1838,

" To James Hosken, Esq., R.N.
" Sir,—Theundersigned Passengers on board the steam.ship Grea,
Western, on her first voyage from the United States to England,
having already expressed their conviction of the success of the great
experiment of navigating the Atlantic Ocean by steam, and thus facili.
Wing the intercourse between the Old and the New World, and secur-
ing to the inhabitants of both the advantages arising from this new era
in the history of science and enterprize combined—beg leave to tender to
you, Sir, their grateful acknowledgments for the satisfaction and comfort
they have experienced on board your ship, and also for your kindness
as a Commander, and the vigilance with which you have watched over
our safety. Arid as our voyage has now reached its termination—a
voyage which may more justly be denominated a pleasure excursion from
New York to Bristol—we ask your acceptance of a piece of Plate, as a
slight testimonial of our regard for your personal character, and just
appreciation of one who has been so greatly instrumental in bringing to
a successfisl termination this highly important experiment.
" With the kindest wishes for your future prosperity,
" We remain, very respectfully, your's, &c." •
(Signed by 53 of the Passengers )

" On board of the Steam Ship, Great Western,
" Bristol Harbour, May, 1838.
" To James Hosken, Esq., R.N.
" We, the undersigned, Passengers in the Steam Ship ' Great Western,'
have the pleasure to congratulate you on the arrival of the noble ship
under your command, in this harbour, after a short and pleasant passage
from New York. We beg leave to express to you our thanks for the
exercise of those kind and gentle qualities by which you have so essen-
tially contributed to our comfort and happiness during the voyage. We
would also announce, through you, to the public, that the anticipations
of security and comfort, which were derived from observing the size and
apparent strength of this beautiful ship, the power and proportion of her
machinery, and the splendour of her accommodations, have been more
than realised by a residence of fourteen days on board of her on the
bosom of the Atlantic.

" We would further remark that it is in our opinion, only necessary
to make a single voyage in this no'ile vessel, to be satisfied that compete
success will attend the navigation of the Atlantic by stoam, with safety,
comfort and dispatch.

" having performed this agreeable duty, we beg leave to offer our best
wishes fur your health al.(1 happiness, and have the honour to b:1 very
faithfully, " Your friends and servants."

" Great Western Steamship, Bristol, :22c1 May, 1833.
" To the Passengers from New York by the Great Western steam-ship.
" Gentlemen—l feel very highly gratified at the flattering approba-
tion you have been pleased to express at your treatment during our
passage from New York, and assure you it wilt be borne in my recollec-
tion to the latest period of nay existence. I also tender you my best
thanks for your offer of a piece of plate, as a testimony of your regard,
which I accept with feelings of the most heartfelt satisfaction ; and
should any of you, Gentlemen, again take passage in this ship during
the time I have the honour to command her, it will be my constant aim
to render you in every respect as comfortable as I have been so for.
tunate to do, in this the first passage of the Great Western from New
York to Bristol. " I am, Gentlemen,

" Four's very faithfully,
"JAMES HOSKEN."

The Sirius brought home 17 passengers, first cabin ; 18 second cabin ;
and 16 steerage.
The Great Western brought 5,555 letters, and 1,760 newspapers ;
also a quantity of cotton for the Great Western Factory.
The interest manifested in this city on the arrival of the Great
Western was very great. She had been expected for two or three days
previous, owing to the un:ettainty of the precise period of her departure
from New York. The arrival of the Sirius brought the first authentic
intelligence of the day she was expected to leave, and in consequence it
IST.3 calculated, correctly, that she would be here on Tuesday. Directly
the news was made known, the - bells of the different churches struck
up a merry peal, flags were hoisted, and guns fired. The passengets,
with a large quantity of valuable luggage, were removed on board a
small steamer, and reached the Hotwells about half past two o'clock.
They expressed themselves much pleased with the urbanity and civility
of the Custom-house officers.

The Mayor of Bristol this day paid his respects to Lieutenant Car-
penter and Lieutenant Lynch, of the American Navy, passengers in the
Great Western steamer, at the Gloucester Hotel, and at the instance of
the Committee tbr conducting the celebration of laying the foundation
stone of the Victoria Rooms ; and as a small token of friendship towards
America, his Worship presented those gentlemen with cards of invita-
tion for the dinner to-morrow.—Thesc... gentlemen this day dine at the
hospitable table of Robert Bright, Esq., at Leigh.

AIR. COOPER'S NEW NAVAL NOVEL " HOME-
wain) BOUND; oa, Tun Chase."—A nautical novel from Mr. Cooper
is always an object of interest. At sea he is eloquent, powerful, and
true; his intimate knowledge of naval usages, his experience of the
water, and his deep relish fur everything connected with naval life, im-
part an air of freedom and reality, a breadth, energy, and fidelity to his
pictures, which have certainly never been rivalled by any other novelist.
His new story " Homeward Bound; or, The Chase," is a remarkable
work, perhaps the most remarkable of Mr. Cooper's productions. The
interest is absorbing, and such is the skill with which every minute cir-
cumstance is described, that we are rivetted to the page with almost as
earnest a feeling as if we participated in the peril's and adventures of the
Montauk a,d its passengers. The management of the ship at sea, the
chase, the disasters on the coast of A;rica, the encounter with the Arabs,
the raft and the wreck, and, indeed, every particle of the nautical pana-
rains, is in the highest degree spirited and faithful. Looking back upon
the impressions which the work has made, 'we are disposed to rank it
amongst the best of Mr. Cooper's tales."—Atlas.

TRADE.—We believe the demand for twist was
somewhat slacker, though we did not hear of any lower prices being
submitted to. In power-loom cloth, and especially of good qualities,
there was a fair demand ; and generally, we may say, there is a pretty
large business doing in manufactured goods. The fine weather, we
understand, as might be expected, has brought an accession of country
buyers into the market.—North Cheshire Reformer.
We are glad to perceive that it is intended to give
Sir John Herschell a public dinner in due and proper commemoration of
his safe arrival in England, after his four years' absence in Southern
Africa. Nearly every individual of note in the scientific world has come
forward to aid in this tribute. We hope it will he open generally to the
public to do honour to one of the highest ornaments, hereditarily and
personally, to the highest of the sciences, astronomy.
THE ROYAL TAR STEAMER.—Mis elegant ves-.
se;, beionging to the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, and in-
tended, we are informed, to run with the Peninsular mails in lieu of the
City of Londonderry, has arrived in the river. She has engines of 9.60
horse-power, and was propelled during her passage round from Greenock
at the rate of twelve miles per hour. Her accommodations are said to
be the most spacious and convenient of any of the Peninsular vessels,
which, to those who have seen the Tagus, Braganza, or Iberia, is say-
ing a great deal. The Royal Tar takes, we believe, the mails of the
2d of June.
THE IRISH CHURCH.--We believe—we believe,
at length, that, notwithstanding all that has been said and sung to the
contrary, we are on the eve of a settlement to this greatly vexed and
vexatious question. Most sincerely—most gladly do we congratulate the
Established Church on the prospect. The Tories and Orangemen failed
to rescind the Appropriation Resolution. There it stands, and will
stand, upon the Journals of the House of Commons. But the deela.
ration ot. Lard J. Russell, on Friday night, to place the payment of the
Clergy upon estates in fee, without any reference to the litigated ques_
tion, solves the difficulty, and leaves Tory opposition without a plea,
while the vote on Acland's motion4by affirming the Appropriation
clause, relieves Ministers and the House of Commons from the shadow
of reasonable censure. In short, it is our deliberate opinion (and we
speak from thefirst Conservative authority) that the Church Bill will
pass this Session.— Dublin Evening Post.
STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to state, that
our market yesterday presented a greater appearance of animation than
for some time past. There was an Unproved demand both for goods and
yarn, and better prices for both were very generally obtained. We un.
derstand that the Sirius steamer has brought over a number of orders
for manufactured goods, together with several buyers from New York,
who have been for some time past strangers to our market; and there
seems to bean expectation of a tolerable full trade to the United States.
