CRIMINAL COURT.-(TIIIIS DAY,

OLD COURT.
THE ISLINGTON MURDER.

Mr. Justice ALDERSON took his seat upon the bench at ten
o'clock, and the prisoner, John Gould, alias Arthur Nicholson,
who stands charged wills the murder of Mr. John Templeman, was
placed at the bar, to plead to the ind!ctment charging him with
that offence,.
Theprisoner walked with a firm step up to the bar. His coun-
tenance was pale, but perfectly composed.

The indictment charged the prisoner with having, of his malice
aforethought, made an asault upon John Templeman, and that he
with a certain piece of wood, of the value of sixpence, did strike,
beat, and bruise, and inflict divers mortal injuries upon the head,
face, and lower jaw of the said John Templeman, of which he then
and there died.

The prisoner pleaded Not guilty, :In a loud tone of voice. He
was then arraigned, upon the Coroner's Inquisition, to which lie also
pleaded not guilty.

Mr. Cuaowicg JONES, who was retained for the prosecutor,
then addressed the Court, and prayed that a day shou!cl he fixed for
the trial to take p!ace. There was a number of witnesses,
amounting to thirty-two, the whole of whom it would he necessary
to examine, and it would he a great convenience ►f a day were fixed
for the trial.

Mr. Cusmnk as said he was instructed on the part of the prisoner
to suggest that he was placed in a situation of very great difficulty.
Ile was anxious to take his trial as early as possible consistent with
his own safety; bui, in consequence of his having been so recently
committed for trial, he had not had time to communicate whit
those persons to whom his defence would be intrusted.

Baron ALDERsON—At present you have no materials for making
the applicati m, and all we can do is to say that the trial will cer-
tainly not be taken before Monday. He bad understood that the
Under-Sheriflk, with great humanity, had undertaken the defence
of the prisoner, and he was intbrined by those respectable gentlemen
that the prisoner had really not had time to prepare his defence,
and that material witnesses would be absent if his trial were
pressed on at the present Session.

Mr. Twins said if the trial It as put off until next Sess;on some
material witnesses would probably not be forthcoMing in support
of the prosecution.

Baron ALDERSON—Is not the law strong enough to compel their
attendance ?

It was finally arranged that the trial should, stall events, Le
postponed until Monday, and that in the meantime- an affidavit
should be made up, setting forth th e grounds for the application for the
postponement, and if the Court considered them satisfactory, that
the trial would then stand over until next Session.

POLITICAL Ai UIIIII.IARY-_ OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Times of this day contents itself with a lengthened
summary of the important debate on China last night in the
House of Commons.—The Aforning Herald, in a leading
article on the same subject, says The conclusion of the
debate was worthy of its commencement. Throughout, the
Conservative party has had the matter all its own way."—The
Morning Chronicle, alludingto last nights Ministerial majority
in the Commons, remarks at's follows :—" We regret to have
to state that the number of Liberal Members absent without
paring was unusually large ; and we are much mistaken if many
of them will not deeply regret the circumstance, when they are
convinced of their error, by perusing the triumphant and un-
answerable statement of Lord Paltsersion."—The Morning
Post states, with reference to his Lordship's speech :—" Lord
Palmerston's defence displayed a good deal of tact and smart-
ness. He certainly made die most of a bad case."

LONDON:
FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1840.

The late hour at which the debate closed pre.
eludes us from noticing it at present. We shall
only say, that Sir R. PEEL'S able but artificial
speech, as well as the whole of the arguments of
the Tories, were triumphantly refuted in a most
vigorous speech by Lord PALMERSTON, which
commenced a little before two o'clock, and
concluded at a quarter past four. He de-
molished both the facts and the inferences
of his opponents, and overwhelmed them
by reading a letter from the merchants of
London connected the China trade, deprecat-
ing any want of vigour in following out the mea-
sures understood to be in preparation. The Noble
Lord spoke throughout the whole time with the
greatest spirit and animation, and was, at
the close of his speech, and during
its progress, vociferously cheered. The
House answered to the confidence he ex-
pressed, and negatived Sir J. GRAHAM'S motion
by 271 to 2GI, giving the Ministers a majority of
10. Again, then, the factious Tories—for this
motion, admitting, as they did, the necessity of`
strong measures ; and disclaiming, as they did, any
wish to denounce the opium trade, was a purely
factious motion—vgain the Tories were defeated,
and so they deserve always to be.

The mendacious shifts of a desperate faction have
been well exemplified in the conduct of the Tories upon
the China question. While there was no glimmering
of a hope that the Tories could get into office, the war
with China vwas denounced as a war of the strong upon
the defencetess-- war exhibiting the insolence of a con-
scious and -unmanly superiority—a war embodying the
moral of the fable of the Wolf anti the Lamb—a war, in
short, in which victory would be only one shade less in-
famous that, defeat. 'But the instant the mirage pro?,
pect of agnin occupying the Treasury Benches flitted
before the eyes of the Tory leaders—the instant that in
their delightful, but vain reveries, they fancied they saw
the patronage of a war establishment, with all the ac
customed jobbing in new loans and fresh taxes at their
entire disposal—the war with China all at once was
discovered, to be as formidable as it was before prc-
nourfeed to be insignificant. Its magnitude ever-
