ABDUCTION OF MISS GOOLD-MOTION TO

ARREST JUDGMENT.

A motion in arrest of judgment was made on the part of the
prisoners who were found guilty for the abduction of I%iiss
Goold, by Messrs. O'Connell, Jackson, and Freeman. The ob-
jection lay in two points in the indictment,—viz., Ist, That the
venue was not laid when the felony was alleged to have been
committed—for that every distinct averment of fact must have
a venue laid in the indictment, " then and there." The Learn-
ed Counsel then quoted the distinction which lay between mis-
demeanours and felony, from Minchin's Crown Circuit Com-
panion, p. 41, last edition, and observed, that the day and place
of the assault was not sufficient, without having " then and
there" embodied.

The Learned Counsel laid his second objection against the
" Termination Statute," in the concluding part of the in-
dictment, in the singular, which should be in the plural
"'Statutes." Ile argued that, in substance, the indictment which
lay against the prisoners was bottomed on two statutes; it
was not merely a referential statute, that of the 19th of °eo-
n. c. 13, which was enacted to perfect the original statute cf
the Cth Anne, sec. 7, upon which the indictment was founded,
so that both substantially were necessary to bottom the indict-
ment, and that the termination in the indictment should Ix
against the "statutes," and not " statute," as terminates iii
the indictment. •

Mr. LLOYD rebutted the points adduced by Mr. O'Connell,
and read the indictment, " did feloniously and by force of arms
take and carry away the said Honorah Ooold." The Learned
Counsel thought the venue was laid sufficiently : when read, it
clearly presented but one sentence.- The Learned Counsel stated
the precedent to have been followed from one of the most eminent
pleaders. He further strengthened his observations in support
of the venue being sufficiently laid to make the indictment
ruled on that point. In combating the second objection, which
should make the termination be in the plural number, he con-
tended that the offence was not created in both statutes con-
junctively : it was created by the 6th of Anne, and was only re-
ferential in that of Geo. 11. The Learned Counsel illustrated
his observations by quoting from Narkus' Statutes, which stated
it might be laid either in the singular or the plural.
The Crown Counsel, Messrs..Quin, Lloyd, and Gould, took
an active part in the discussion.
Messrs. Jackson and Freeman supported Mr. O'Connell.
His Lordship felt no difficulty as to the termination in this
case being in the singular " statute" as good ; but with respect to
the venue he felt difficulty, for he had some doubts, and would
refer the point to his Learned Colleague. The whole question
Was, whether the venue was laid to the felony ?
This law argument occupied a considerable time.

Do vErt, AUG. 11.-Yesterday his Majesty's
steam-packet the Dasher sailed for Calais, with
his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of
HARROWBY, and Lord MARYBOROUGH. ilis
Grace is proceeding to Flanders. This k the
first time, since the battle of Waterloo, that his
Grace has been allowed to arrive at, and depart
from 'Dover without a salute from the guns on
the Heights. Crowds of persons followed the
Duke from WRIGHT'S Hotel to the beach, and
rent the air with enthusiastic cheers as he posed.

Letters received yesterday from Paris, .refer-
ring to advices from Havannah of the, beginning
of June, mention that the opposition displayed
in the Mexican Provinces against the no.minatiou
of ITURBIDE, as Emperor, was so great. that an
army of 6000 men, commanded by Geuerais
Guadalupe Victoria, Santana, and Guerrero,
was on its march against the capital. 10 the Re-
publican interest, Guadalupe. Victoria is an old
Guerilla Chief, who espoused the cause of Inde-
pendence several years ago.
GIBRALTAR, JULY is mentioned in a
private letter from Cadiz of the 18th instant, that
the convoy lately arrived from. the Havannah
having lost 50 men on the passage, it was under-
stood that the crews would perform quarantine
in the Castle of St. Sebastian. A Capidgi Bachi,
charged by the Divan to poison the Viceroy of
Egypt, was discovered in disguise a short time
ago, and by order of the Viceroy was,
;buried
alive.

ITALtrAx, JULY 16.—1 i is asserted that it is
not the intention of Admiral FAIIIE to visit this
inclement coast during the present surrmer. We
can hardly believe that such is the -fact. The
naval yard in this place is falling into decay,
much more rapidly than the persons who plc,-
posed its abandonment could have anticipated ;
and as the exertions of the Naval Commander-in-
Chief and the squadron under his direction must
have a tendency to render more remote, the pe-
riod of its destruction, and as, it is the duty. of
an Officer holding such a command to protect
the property of the public by every 'means in his
power, we feel satisfied that a desire to presOrve
the naval establishment in this town, as fat
tilts
the Admiral's presence can have effect, will oat-
weigh any attractions which the istatad of Bet,
muda can present.

mercantile house in the city :
" Ce,NSYANTINUPLE, JULY la.—Tranquillity here is pre-
serve'd with great vigour. About 1500 of the factious class
have been seized by the Governments, of which 300 or 400 were
strangled in the public bazaars and streets, on being seized--
the ethers were taken to the state prisons, and it is- supposed
have followed the same fate. J assure you I have not known
this place in greater order than at.present."

[THE TIMES.]
By a mail from Tarkey, which arrived yester-
nay, we received intelligence from Constan-
tinople to the 31 th, and. from Smyrna to the 3d
nit. The disaster
_which had happened to the
Turkish 'fleet, brought about by a rare combina-
-oml-of Fkill, enterprise, and intrepidity on the
part of the G reeks, seems to have spread Conster-
natiow and dismay among the inhabitants of Con-
stantinople. Independently of the loss of lives,
the. destruction of the Turkish vessels, with their
equipments, is estimated at not less than
18,:0002000 of piastres—an estimate probably
be:;'ond the truth, which is however .sufficiently
disastrous. It appears that the Greeks, though
elated to the highest pit Ch.. by this, triumph, had
not: lost. sight .of the due .caution necessary
to make it valuable to their future interest.—
They had subsequently kept the open sea,
cruizing off Ispara, and occasionally advancing
to the North of Scio roads, but avoiding all
open encounter•with the enemy.. Their numbers
were from 55 to 60 sail, all small vessels, but
well manned and equipped. The TUrks, on the
other hand, fatalists in their creed, were in a
state of extreme despondency, and were in con-
stant apprehension of similar stratagems from the
wily.enemy that had. once. overreached them.
Cara Mehemet, Pacha of Patras, has been ap-
*pointed to the command of the Turkish fleet.—
land, at least in the Morea, the Greeks are
maintaining a more than equal conflict with the
Turks. The citadel of Athens has capitulated.
Napoli di. Romania is besieged by land, and at
.ea the blockade of the port is strictly main-.
tained..An English vessel, called 'the Messenger,
laden with :corn from Constantinople, had been
debarred entrance by the Greek cruisers. No mo-
lestation was, however, offered to the masterand
e-rew ; the Greek commanders literally confining
their views to preventing the introduction of sup-
plies by nen tra t vessels into any place in the hands
,of the Turks, when actually invested by sea and
Wiid by their. forces. It is stated in one of the
:letters from Smyrna, that his- Majesty's . ships
Martin and Rosehadbeen despatched to Salonica,
vvith orders to. call. at the different islands, to yin-
Aicate, wherever interference was.deemed.neces-
":sary, th 6 rights of the- British flag ; but it is not
.alleged 'that the case of the. Messenger was of
,thatcleseription, and. so far at least the rights of
blockade by the Ureeks is tacitly allowed. We
are gratified- to, find: that our ships of war in-the
Archipelago are on the alert for the protection of
British interests, :wherever placed in jeopardy.
-" •Capt. Hamilton, of the Cambrian (says a letter
froin'. the, agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna,) has on
every, occasion displayed .the most zealous .and
energetic disposition for theprotection of British
subjects and property in this quarter. His prompt
disposal of the British shipS of war in stations to
'oVerawe the Turkish populace, is Considered to
thane materially tended" to the prevention of dis-
lurbanCes on the news of the disaster at Scio.
rliVe allude to this. as a confirmation of the salutary
,effeets•of the presence of an adequate naval force."
If is unfortunate that this surveillance over the
-barbarous 'Turkish Spirit of retaliation could' not
glinve'extended to the capital. The news of the
math of the'eapitan Pacha has produced another
iberrible catastrophe in Constantinople. The letters
sisreinthencesay that tranquillityhas been preserved,
but the price paid for it has been a dreadful one.

been daily increasing, in consequence of the in-

pieces of artillery had been sent to General
Mina in that quarter, and fifteen battalions
of militia had orders to join him instantly.—
Much astonishment prevailed in the capital
that no measures of energy had been adopted
by the Constitutionalists after the events of the
7th of July, which afforded them such excellent
ground for proceeding with vigour. This is at-
tributed to the weakness of the late Ministers,
who were not "equal to the wants and circum-
stances of the period ;" and it is affirmed that,
men of a different stamp having been entrusted
with the direction of affairs, a more spirited
and useful course would immediately be taken.
Advices had, been received announcing the defeat
of several bands in the neighbourhood of Tarra-
gona by Generals Albornes and Milans.
